Brian L. French is a political commentator and consultant and was a columnist with one of Canada's largest circulation dailies.
He has been travelling to Cuba for over a decade and has made friends with dozens of Cubans: ordinary family members, working people and others; some of who are dangerous.
All the people in "Mojito" are real, but often living in different personas. The political and social situations for Cubans are also real. He describes these in his blog www.mojitonovel.com.
He and his family live in the Toronto Beaches.
Review by:
Kate Kee
on Dec. 31, 2011 :
Mojito is a terrific espionage book, but what I like best about it is how the author describes Cuba and more particularly Havana and the people that live there.
The lead character, McCaul, is a tough guy with a heart while his love interest, Kate, is an equal to him.
The conflict and tension is realistic and the plot - that a highly skilled team could very likely overthrow the declining Castro regime - rings true.
It's well written and if you like spy / thrillers than this is a good one.

Mike Engle crashes minivan under Allentown City Hall

Police say a member of the Allentown Zoning Board had to be taken to the hospital after a crash under Allentown City Hall Monday night.
Police say Mike Engle was driving in the garage when the accelerator suddenly energized, causing the vehicle to speed forward.
Police said the minivan hit two police motorcycles and a pole before hitting the back wall.
Engle told 69News it was a freak accident--he'd just had the minivan inspected a few days before.
Smoke was seen in the garage and on the first floor of the building. The fire department was called to ventilate the smoke.
Police say Engle is expected to be fine.

In french " donner des nom d´oiseaux" (mean give a birds name), it´s an insult.

tarte Precision Longwear Liner Review
Were you under the impression that this blog is written by a make up artist? If so… you would be wrong. I love product, but just like anyone else I fumble some makeup like a rookie. A perfect example of this is liquid liner. Try as I may, I just can't seem to master liquid liner application, but I'm smitten with the perfect bold line only a well applied liquid liner can deliver. If your results with a liquid liner look less-than-professional, you really need to get your hands on tarte Precision Longwear Liner, one of the many fabulous eye makeup items from the Lights, Camera, Lashes lineup.
Tarte Precision Longwear Liner looks like a liquid liner once it's applied. The line? Perfectly even. The color? BOLD bold black. It's that classic liquid liner look, only with a twist that consumers like me adore. Precision Longwear Liner handles just like a magic marker. It's so easy to use, you'll be rocking that coveted cat eye in a flash! Once the color dries, this product is in it for the long haul.
Retail price is $20.

AERIN Kaleidolight Palette Review
The AERIN Kaleidolight Palette is literally one of my favorite new things. Simply holding this gleaming, weighty, gold compact makes me happy. And inside… inside looks like it could be the paint palette Monet used for his Water Lilies landscapes.
Arranged in an avant garde pattern of color, The AERIN Kaleidolight Palette isn't just luxe, it's perfect for today's busy woman. These six shades can be swirled together for all-over face application, and deliver the most gorgeous, natural, sun-kissed glow! They're also safe for use on the eyes, so you can use them to create a neutral eye look, jazz it up a bit with the lavender shade, or even pull out the pink for use as a blush! Kaleidolight is quite literally the most versatile makeup to cross my desk this year.

Love Us!
We Are...We are metal bolts; rusted or flawlessWe Are... by IMAFTF
Gasping tightly onto our small fortress
That grants both delight and despair.
We are window shutters; opening and closing
Our covers to the dignified or opposing
Who bother to cross our lair.
We are unfound gems waiting in time
For someone to discover that they aren't grime,
But a valuable and captivating beauty inside.
We are planted seeds that are watered
And cared for so we grew onward
Towards the sun where dreams abide.
We are the stars in a glorious milky way
Shining brightly, sometimes dimming astray,
But always gleaming rays for those to find their way.
The Calling ChimesThe Calling Chimes by IMAFTF
Entwining in invisible strings,
The wind's fingers play an enchanting tune
Bringing a bewitching security as if on cue.
Lullabies, a pleasant sound full of yearning,
Gently rouse the spirits that course through
A forgotten motherland that breathes life and virtue.
A crystal voice of clarity
Awaken the guardians and phantoms
Who guard with vigil their ancestor's mantle.
Dancing with glee
Into a nearby forest where mystical creatures are merry,
Its enticing murmur spreads to every goblin, elf, dwarf and fairy.
But when the wind dies
The wind chime dwindles and echoes painfully on
Longing for the wind to come again whether dusk or dawn.
A StandA Stand by IMAFTF
I open my eyes to an unreal world
Full of fake smiles and love,
With lies and untold truths that I'm sick of.
This never ending game, I unfurled,
A web that traps people in a deceiving fairy tale
For broken promises that were always frail.
This world that encircles me
Is a nightmare that all want to end,
But those who try always descend.
I always dream of standing in the sea breeze
And it would wish me away
To a new day and age.
So I'll take a stand for who I am,
And those who rest in peace in a better place,
To gain the freedom I want to embrace.
With this I'll start to be who I truly am.
Blood Covered Cherry BlossomsBlood Covered Cherry Blossoms by IMAFTF
In the early morning of dawn,
The peaceful presence of the sun's luminous light
Dims the sky an airy yawn.
Rusty red rays stream their way
Through the shadowing trees in the delighting bright sight,
Landing on the charming blossoms that swirl to the wind's cheerful sway.
Great gusts of gale harmonise in curtained disarray,
An unseen spirit of wind ruffling and swelling the blush blossoms,
Carrying away the loose petals in a radiant current of shattered bouquets.
And as if a crimson bittersweet scent of blood wafted the air,
A puddle of flaring red flames gathered on the ground so solemn
To be ensnared in their despair to long for what was once theirs.
How I yearn for the spring that plays with their array,
To blow them far astray,
Where naught danger or scares befall them,
To a safe haven in their prayers, a world for them to not be condemned.
Dear little flushed blossoms may you rain without pain.

First Journal EVER!
Hello to those who don't know me or never will. I'm Lillian.
This is probably going to be the only journal I'm going to ever write.
Guess I have a problem with socialising.
Any ways, I got tagged by around two weeks ago~ TAT
And since I wasn't on I never got the chance to see the message.
1. You must post the rules.
2. Each person must post 5 things about themselves in their journal.
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and create five new questions for the people you tag to answer
4. You have to choose 10 people to tag and post their icons on your journal.
5. Go to their page and tell them you have tagged them.
6. No tag backs
7. No stuff in the tagging section about "you're tagged if you're reading this" You legitimately have to tag 10 people.
Five things about myself:
1. Being offline is something I'm good at.
2. I'm so lazy I can't post art.
3. I'm eating sour lollies because I can.
4. As I mentioned before this is the first time I've bothered to write a journal.
5. I can't, for some reason, stop thinking about this song that I recently heard, called Ballerina girl by MikitoP, sung by Gumi. It is funny listening to the lyrics and the music is pretty cool.
Link if you want to check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjWRKf…
Ravioli-Rivaille's Questions:
1. If you could be any character, who would you be and why?
I would be a character that doesn't die. I hate it when characters die. I cry…sometimes.
2. Your all-time favourite anime and current favourite anime?
My all time favourite anime is…There are so many good ones out there that I can't choose. (I'm that type of person.) And my current favourite animes are Haikyuu and a shoujo called Ao Haru ride. I've read all of the manga so far for Ao Haru Ride~ It's soooooo good!
3. Do you/Would you start cosplaying? If so, who would you cosplay?
I would probably cosplay and I would cosplay as Potato Girl (Sasha) from Attack On Titan / Shingeki no Kyoujin.
Then I would also cosplay as a character from Black Butler, Fairy Tail and Hetalia.
4. Your current favourite song?
My favourite song right now is the opening for Ao Haru Ride. I think it's called Sekai wa koi ni ochiteiru.
The only time I have found the full version was here: www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=8…
5. What is your favourite type of fashion? (Ex. Lolita, Steampunk, Hipster, etc...)
Lolita! It's so cute! And pretty!
My Questions:
I have no idea what to ask…
1. What type of candy do you fancy?
2. What is your favourite anime opening/Ending of all time?
3. What year were you born in? (No lies allowed)
4. What manga are you currently reading?
5. What do you do on the weekends?
Sorry for the boring Questions~
-I have to finish homework, but I really want to Procrastinate for a while considering I have been offline for a while.
I Tag, and I'm sorry if this is a bother:

How to turn a man on-5 Ways to be the best lover he ever had
Yes, the occasional romp in the backseat of an SUV, a quickie up against the wall, or a steamy session in the bathtub are incredibly good. But you bought those fabulous sheets and that perfectly cushion-y comforter to be enjoyed. So put them to good, regular use!
2. The more sex you have, the more sex you want.
It's completely true -- ever notice how the day after an incredibly memorable sex session it's all you can do not to run home after work and try for a repeat? Great sex creates more great sex! And it works like any good sport; regular play makes you even better at the game.
Want more exciting ideas for incredibly memorable sex? Check out Jill Rilla's Smokin' Hot Sex: The Ultimate Woman's Guide to Stoking & Satisfying a Man's Sexual Fire. Visit SMOKIN HOT SEX to learn more
3. Feel free to take matters into your own hands.
Stop worrying about whether or not he is going to give you an orgasm. Guarantee your orgasm by using your hands or a vibrator. He'll find it arousing, especially if you describe the hot, sexy things you're thinking while you're doing it. And don't be afraid to give him a hand, either. He'll love having you finish him off for a change.
4. Accept gifts without guilt.
Think about how good it makes you feel to perform a one-way sexual treat for him (like the oral sex you gave him right after he got out of the shower, before he headed in to work). Don't deny him the same pleasure of giving. In fact, you can even let him know exactly the kinds of gifts you would most like to receive!
5. Props are fun!
Yes, raw, naked sex is awesome, but vibrators, feathers, scarves, brushes, ice cubes and other toys can be the icing on the sexy, delicious cupcake. You can find all sorts of interesting items for sex play around the house, or you email him the link to a sex toy website and offer to try out any item he purchases. Oh, the possibilities.

Andreas Kapsalis & Goran Ivanovic perform at JustGoods Oct. 15
From press release
The Andreas Kapsalis & Goran Ivanovic Guitar Duo celebrates the continental tradition of guitar performance. As composers, they are part of a movement whose aim is to build the new repertoire for the next generation of guitar players.
Charlotte's Web for the Performing Arts will present them at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 15, at JustGoods Listening Room, 201 Seventh St., Rockford.
Steel-string 10-finger-tapping guitar prodigy Andreas Kapsalis and nylon string classical guitarist Goran Ivanovic have fused their musical roots with modern, classical, world, jazz and beyond as an experimental duo. As they continue to create "buzz" throughout global music circles, these masterful musicians are also creating genres and musical styles that have yet to be named.
Charlotte's Web regulars may remember the magical music generated when the Web presented the Goran Ivanovic Group at Krypto Music Lounge in March 2006. Goran Ivanovic's hypnotic guitar took the mind to campfires in the woods of medieval Europe amidst a lively gypsy caravan. The audience was entranced for three full sets. Andreas Kapsalis elicited a similar response in November 2006. They both have graced many stages in various band configurations with countless top-shelf collaborators, but this will be their Rockford premiere as the Kapsalis Ivanovic Guitar Duo. This promises to be an incredible guitar experience: a virtual Parisian underground gypsy jazz club right here in Rockford.

Penn State University says it has not removed Gideon Bibles from two hotels that it runs despite a complaint the school received from a Wisconsin-based atheist group.
Contradicting a press release by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a representative of Penn State told The Christian Post that the Bibles have not been taken out of their hotels.
Earlier this week FFRF stated that Penn State officials removed the Bibles from the Nittany Lion Inn and the Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel in State College, both of which are run by the university. more >>
A secular organization has released a poll which states that over a third of Americans support removing the phrase "Under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance.
The American Humanist Association released on Tuesday a study done for their organization by The Seidewitz Group indicating that 34 percent of Americans support removing the phrase.
Roy Speckhardt, executive director for the American Humanist Association, told The Christian Post that the poll was done, in part, as a counter to a LifeWay Research Poll from last year. more >>

Two Catholic academic institutions in California have been told by the state government that their healthcare programs must cover abortions.
Loyola Marymount University and Santa Clara University were initially given reprieve from being forced to pay for abortions as part of their insurance policies, however, the earlier decision was reversed.
In a letter sent out last month, California's Department of Managed Health Care concluded that "it erroneously approved or did not object to such discriminatory language in some evidence of coverage filings." more >>
New Hampshire's Supreme Court upheld the state's tax credit program that allows for funds to go to religious schools.
In an opinion delivered last week, the court unanimously overturned a lower court ruling regarding the tax credit.

Respond to Review of Wheel of Life
by FinalTwilight
Review: Firstly, this place is cool because it's owned by a medical doctor who opened a vegan restaurant because he thought being a doctor wasn't helping *enough* people, and that offering people vegan food would help a lot more. Secondly, have no worries that this place is definitely 100% vegan, you just don't ever need to worry about whey or rennet anywhere. And now, the food :) Well, there's a lot to choose from... almost too much :P The fake meat here is all pretty good, and one of my favorite dishes is the silver noodles (Pad-woon-sen I think) and I get it with fake shrimp. The flavor is really good. However... everything here is pretty greasy. Which is fine once in a while, but I can't eat here that often because of that. It's absolutely great if you're craving some junky asian food. If you want to be a little healthier, they have some fresh stuff and veggie soups that I honestly haven't tried much of-- I've had their fresh spring rolls and vegetable soup, both of which were good (spring rolls quite so), though I don't get why the fresh spring rolls are more expensive than the cooked ones :/ Their deserts are really, really good, too. Their fried banana spring rolls with coconut ice cream is so good... I've never had coconut ice cream that good, so much coconut flavor, and the ice cream has a really neat texture, like little ice crystals in your mouth. Put some ice cream on the warm banana rolls for a hot-cold combination that's pretty fun. And also their cheesecake here is absolutely THE best vegan cheesecake I've ever had, must try it if you're a fan of cheesecake, or were, as the case may be :) And they can put boba in any drink you like-- I've gotten it with the young coconut meat drink and the pineapple drink, both of which with it goes really well. So, if you're vegan, this place is pretty worth going to every once in a while, or more if you can handle the grease. And if you want to take non-vegan people to a vegan place, this is a good place to go as well. Also try Au Lac in Fountain Valley of the Native Foods Costa Mesa location.

These cuts, which it claims will prevent the emission of 4.8Gt CO2,65 are to be achieved largely by tackling illegal deforestation.66 However, the Brazilian government is a funder and railway companies SNCF and Thalys International. 53 shareholder in the major players in the cattle sector JBS and Marfrig supply Cremonini in Italy.54 in the Amazon67 – the single largest driver of global deforestation.

To this end, the government established an Amazon fund, to which Brazil's minister of Environment Carlos minc has said that he is hoping for funds of $21 billion by 2021.71 yet in may 2009, only $110 million had been made available – part of a $1 billion package the government of Norway announced in 2008, to be paid by instalments until 2015. As of the end of march 2009, Germany is the only other donor committed to the fund, announcing a contribution of €18 million ($24.7 million).72 pROTEcT THE cLIMATE: The devastating example of the destruction of the dEfENd THE AMAZON Amazon rainforest outlined in this report is just one of the tragic realities facing forests worldwide.

It would reward countries with verified reductions in deforestation rates. The fund would be targeted at forest areas with high biodiversity values and at creating and preserving sustainable livelihoods for forest communities as a long-term means of forest protection. As the fund would be open to all countries with vulnerable forests, it would prevent leakage – the shifting of deforestation by global industries from one forest region of the world to another. SLAUGHTERING THE AMAZON Part of the global deal to protect the climate must be to get an agreement to provide long- term funding for the protection of the world's rainforests. The Copenhagen Climate Summit in December 2009 is a critical opportunity to agree measures and mechanisms including funding to combat global deforestation. If this effort fails, the next crisis will not be a temporary economic downturn but an irreversible climate catastrophe. 11 'We have put men on the moon, we have created the industrial and the technological age, we have built awesome engineering projects and we have the capacity to develop the solutions to stop dangerous climate change. It is only through collaborative global action which takes the long term view, rather than focusing on short term gain, that we will be able to solve this challenge – but solve it we must and we must work to solve it today.'
