Facing a serious dip in its credibility following a series of financial scandals, the United Progressive Alliance government has created a "structured mechanism to disseminate information and relay the government's position on emerging issues, especially those that have political ramifications," according to sources in a freshly minted Group of Ministers (GoM) that will deal with the media.
Headed by Home Minister P. Chidambaram, the GoM will be serviced by the Information and Broadcasting Ministry. A formal announcement came on Tuesday, following an order issued by the Prime Minister's Office, mandating it to "meet every day at a fixed hour, analyse the events of the day and issue suitable directions to a nodal officer to prepare appropriate material for briefing the media."
One of the ministers in the GoM or the minister concerned with the matter will brief the media at 3 p.m. every day, says the PMO order. Simultaneously, a written brief is also to be released.
The GoM, the sources said, would "keep in close touch with the Congress to ensure coordination between party and government briefings," as "sometimes, the party speaks, sometimes it refrains, saying it is in the domain of the government. The new mechanism hopes to bridge that."
It also hopes to expand "individual briefings by individual ministers into a collective effort" and fill the "news vacuum," especially on contentious issues, when the media tended to fall prey to "rumour-mongering."
Clearly, for the UPA government, its second consecutive term in power — of which it completes two years in another 11 days — has been a public relations disaster, evident from the negative coverage it has been getting in both the electronic and print media. There is a sense in the government that even though — in its opinion — it has done its best to tackle the slew of scams through a host of investigations, it has failed to carry conviction. The latest spat over the drafting of the Lokpal Bill and the fast that Gandhian Anna Hazare went on in the full glare of TV cameras only added to the damaging optics.
Curiously, the GoM is entirely a Congress affair, even though some of the scandals — or, indeed, criticism — in this government have related to portfolios held by allies. Government sources say this could prove to be a handicap for the GoM — for, if it were to defend an ally accused of wrongdoing, the mud would stick to the Congress; if it were to acknowledge that an ally had erred, it would create a rift in the UPA.
Meanwhile, even though the GoM was created after discussions between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress president and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, after some Ministers pointed out the urgency of dealing with the government and party's credibility deficit, the Congress appears to view it entirely as a government initiative. On Wednesday, a functionary responding to the setting up of the GoM, said, "We can have a view different from the government — after all, it is a coalition."
The GoM members, apart from Mr. Chidambaram, are Union Ministers Ambika Soni, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Kapil Sibal, Salman Khurshid, Pawan Bansal and V. Narayansamy.
A serving officer or a retired person on contract, the PMO order says, will be appointed the nodal officer, who will be provided with a small secretariat of up to three persons.

I'm thinking of getting a portable greenhouse 8'x 8'x 6.5'h. I don't know how robust they are though. Does anybody know anything about flowerhouses.com greenhouses? Like how many years the plastic will last? Or, how good are the zippers on the doors? I only need it for April and May each year and then it folds up and away. The idea is pretty good but I'm not sure. Don't want to be the first one to take the plunge :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Jimmy, the only one I can speak about with any real knowledge is the Canadian Tire one that my parents gave me. I'll put a link to it at the end of this (it's not a "Canadian Tire Brand", so you could probably find it in many different places). It has a lot of room inside, and the shelves are reasonably strong. The dome is high enough to hang baskets from, but I don't think it's strong enough to hang "full" baskets from. On sunny days it gets incredibly warm in there, but there are 4 side windows and a large one in back. They all unzip or roll up, and there are screens underneath to keep bugs out. The zipper is a royal pain. We've managed to work around that and now it's no big deal, but be aware that it needs to be treated gently. I usually leave one side open (zippers are on both side of the "door") and that's fine for the daytime. At night I carefully zip everything back up. It's let me extend my hardening-off season by several weeks, and I start cole crops in there as well. It's not a cold-frame, but I find that crops planted in flats that are left on the ground stay cool enough to grow slowly and not get leggy. This is our second year with it and I'm happy with it. It unassembles into a medium-size box, so that's also a big plus for me. My only real complaint is that door-zipper. If you're patient enough to replace it with a large-toothed one, I think that would make it just about perfect. I'm going to do that to ours after it's emptied. The price was $100. Its usual price is $250 (from this source anyway), but it went on sale pretty early in the season. I hope that helps a bit. - Merry |

This is one of the most refreshing martinis I've ever had...and does go very well with oysters. A delight.
If you like specialty martinis, you'll love this one. It's very refreshing, like something I would have in the summer. I made it the day before and drank it about 36 hrs later. Don't change the recipe. Try it the way it's written. Just fabulous.

61. Shampoo fine hair often; dirt and oil are quick to weight it down.
62. For light hold with no goop factor, spritz wet hair with hairspray, then dry and style.
63. Boost a deep-conditioning treatment by wrapping your hair in aluminum foil.
64. Got oily hair? Use a brush with synthetic bristles rather than natural ones. Synthetic bristles detangle without spreading oil from your scalp to the rest of your hair.
65. When choosing a blowdryer, remember: The higher the wattage, the faster it'll dry your hair.
66. Remove product buildup from brushes (except natural bristle ones) by soaking 'em in warm water plus a few drops of white vinegar.
67. When drying your hair, hold the dryer at least eight to 10 inches from your hair. When styling, hold your dryer four to six inches from your hair.
68. Gonna put your hair up? Up 'dos stay put better when your hair's a little dirty!
69. Double your rinse time: If it takes two minutes to rinse all the shampoo outta your hair, spend double that time--like, four minutes--rinsing out the conditioner.
70. If you have thick hair, take a tip from the pros and divide your hair in sections, then work on drying just one section at a time.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- State and local officials on Wednesday applauded CVS Caremark's decision to stop selling tobacco and tobacco-related products.
Here's what they had to say:
Governor Chafee -- "This must have been a difficult decision for the corporation and the board to weigh the benefits of making the conscientious choice versus the possibility of jeopardizing the bottom line. I applaud CVS/Caremark for taking the right fork in the road."
Sen. Jack Reed -- "I commend CVS Caremark for voluntarily taking tobacco products off their shelves. CVS is a trusted brand that focuses on health and wellness and they reached this decision on their own because they understand that tobacco use and public health don't mix. Our nation has come a long way in reducing smoking, but it is still a major public health problem and an economic problem that costs Americans billions of dollars each year in health care costs. I hope others are encouraged by CVS' leadership to take similar steps."
Dr. Michael Fine, Rhode Island health director -- "In public health we know that the reduction of access to tobacco is the best way to reduce smoking. This may be the biggest advance in smoking cessation since the tobacco settlement in 1998, and we should be proud that a Rhode Island company is leading the way. The Department of Health calls on all Rhode Island retailers to follow this momentous effort by CVS/Caremark and put their customers' health first."
Angel Taveras, Providence mayor -- "Providence has been a national leader in the fight to restrict the sale of flavored and discounted tobacco products and I am proud that the Rhode Island-based CVS has taken a leading role to end the sale of tobacco in pharmacies. Pharmacies are trusted sources of health information for consumers, and the choice to stop selling tobacco products demonstrates CVS' commitment to the wellbeing of its customers. While the tobacco prevention movement still has a long way to go, CVS' announcement is a heartening step forward and a testament to the hard work of tobacco prevention advocates across our city, state and nation."
U.S. Rep. Jim Langevin -- "CVS has long been a good corporate citizen and a pillar of the Rhode Island community, and this decision to change their business practice in the interest of public health is yet another example of CVS's leadership," Langevin said in a statement. "CVS is dedicated to increasing access to health care, and removing tobacco products from their stores is a step forward in improving health outcomes for their customers. I believe they are blazing the trail for other companies to put profits aside and join the movement to help decrease tobacco use nationwide and improve public health. I am proud that this bold move is coming from a Rhode Island-based company."

Hello all,
I have an 07 crew cab with the 4.0L. I want to install the OBX short headers and tie then into the pre-cats like the stock manifold. I'm good with fabrication and have my own tig welder so that should not be a problem. are the stock pre-cats very restrictive? I don't even plan on putting a performance exhaust on the truck. I just noticed what a poor manifold design the truck had and know adding short headers would be a huge improvment. I'm not looking for huge power gains but just simply want to correct an obvious fault.
now i will consider upgrading the whole exhaust if it is comparible to the stock exhaust while riding in the cabin. Are the performance gains worth the money?
My real goal is to improve my MPG by making the engine more efficient and add some lower end pickup too. I do a lot of Highway driving.

when oujou scores.. dont they get to convert. if therse 1 second left.. this one second will be wasted during the conversion.. so oujou would win.. but they just skipped the conversion all together??
when oujou scores.. dont they get to convert. if therse 1 second left.. this one second will be wasted during the conversion.. so oujou would win.. but they just skipped the conversion all together??
silly you, remember its a manga, its the authors story
silly silly you
im yunie yay
light a candle for all the poor children T^T
time doesnt stop during conversions
and if you mean that oujou did try for a conversoin and failed and it just wasn't shown.. makes no sense.. oujou could have just ran out the time and won easily
How?? I don't think that conversions run on time. And it would still be Deimon's possession afterwards.
Conversions don't run on time if they did the game would have been over. No matter how unrealistic Eyeshield 21 is they still usually follow the basic rules of football.
And even if they made the conversion 1 point would have put them 5 points ahead and 2 points would have put them 6 points ahead. Deimon still would have still needed a touchdown.
The Point-After Try doesn't take any time off the clock. The only thing that was kind of odd was that Deimon didn't go for two to make it a 3-point game, just prior to the final Oujou touchdown. And that could be attributed to a (rare!) mental error from Hiruma.
Moreover, people seem to forget that Eyeshield 21 is a manga about HIGH SCHOOL football.
People were complaining in the Bando match that there is no way to "Coffin Nail" a kickoff. Thats true in professional and (I think?) Collegiate football, but the rules are slightly different in HS football since the kickers aren't as accurate as they are at the higher levels.
Also when Sakuraba scored a touchdown in the Oujou-Deimon game, he scored a touchdown even though he only got one foot inbounds. Again, I think thats a HS rule that you only need one foot inbounds. At the pro and collegiate levels, you need two.
You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby,right round, round round...
hey, the manga is about Eyeshield21, right? so, the mangaka simply can't let them lose the match. That's all.

Hey guys, Just curious about bottle conditioning and what it does to sweet flavors in beer. Are sweet flavors more likely to intensify or mellow out with age? Or is it more complicated then that, is it dependent on the type of sugar or where its sourced i.e dextrose, honey, fruit etc. Also, on the same subject, can certain sweetness be considered an 'off flavor' in particular beer styles? Cheers, Jono
From my limited experience (about 10 brews), the type of priming sugar has had no affect on the taste of the beer. I've primed with brown sugar, honey, and corn sugar and was not able to taste any of those in the final product. I have noticed that my beers with sharper flavors evident 2-3 weeks after bottling often mellowed out the more time went one. One brew needed a few months to turn into a mellow and pleasant beer out of the bottle.

Domestic orders placed Monday - Friday by 6 p.m. Eastern Time will be packed and shipped the same day, pending verification of billing information and the shipping method selected. International orders and orders containing gift cards, out-of-stock items or refrigerated items will be processed as quickly as possible, but won't necessarily be shipped out the same day.
Excludes all orders placed on major US holidays (Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day).
The report is based on a meta-analysis of the research: Data from 20 previous studies examining the relationship between physical activity and precancerous colon polyps, know as colon adenomas, was included in the analysis. The authors of the report concluded:
"Our meta-analysis, combined with studies demonstrating physical activity's role in colon cancer prevention, suggests that physical activity has a role across the carcinogenic process," said lead study author Dr. Kathleen Wolin of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. "The anticancer effect of physical activity may be related to enhanced immune function, decreased inflammation, and lower insulin levels and insulin resistance."
Not everyone with colon polyps will develop colon cancer. Benign polyps are made up of cells that won't become cancer, while colon adenomas have abnormal cells that can become cancer. If colon adenomas are found and removed early, the journey to cancer can be interrupted, but this type of polyp often comes back. Preventing precancerous colon polyps is a top priority for preventing colon cancer. Here are some prevention strategies:

The Center for Engineering Diversity and Outreach (CEDO) programs are a key component in keeping Michigan a leader in developing highly sought-after engineering talent. The diversity of the student body at Michigan Engineering—now among the most diverse engineering schools nationwide—enhances the intellectual experience for all students on campus, and creates an atmosphere for learning that lives up to the Michigan tradition of "Leaders and Best."
Recognizing the importance of diversity of thought and the modern imperative for cross-cultural competence, we first seek to attract a diverse population of students to engineering, and then to ensure that these students are fully included in the college experience and that all students have the opportunity to experience success within a diverse college.

It's Friday, and the sweet sounds from SZA are floating around our office. Sound off in the comments below and let us know what you think of this tune!
Meet our Monday Muse, Bethany Struble! She's not your ordinary fashion blogger. This gal is a mom and jill of all trades. Keep reading to find out why we just can't get enough.
How did you get your start in blogging?
My blog started out as just a photography blog and it slowly morphed into a personal style blog. I started about three years ago!
You're a blogger, photographer, singer, and musician. What passion has your heart?
I'm passionate about all those things! I think music is closest to my heart, but photography is something I do every single day.
Can we listen to your songs on the internet or see you perform live?
I haven't put any of my personal music on the internet. I've written some instrumentals and theme music with my dad for the American Music Awards and the Academy of Country Music Awards, so if you watch re-runs from years past, you can hear some of the music we did.
What music artists are on repeat for you right now?
Alt-J has been on repeat. It puts me in such a relaxed and chill mood for the day!
We want to know your beauty secrets! How do you maintain your gorgeous tresses?
My hair really just does what it wants and I sort of let it. I never use heat tools. I let it air dry with some moroccan oil most days.
After going to NYFW, what styles are you coveting the most?
For shoes, I can't wait for some of the lace up heels I saw!
Any advice for other "Hot Mamas" pursuing fashion blogging?
I think blogging is an amazing thing that moms can do from home! Be creative and manage your time wisely! And don't let being a mom make you dress down!

Meet Melanee Shale, a style blogger who defies labels and reps both the Big Apple and City of Angels. Get the scoop on who she gets inspiration from and how she maintains a flawless complexion below!
How would you describe your personal style?
It is hard to give my style an exact name since I try to be unique. I like to wear what makes me feel good and it also depends on how I'm feeling that day. But I would describe it as a mix of my two style icons, Nicole Richie and Olivia Palermo. They exemplify what I love about West and East coast fashion. Nicole Richie brings out my LA bohemian chic and Olivia Palermo brings out my New York edginess.
Who or where do you draw inspiration from?
My inspiration for style can be traced back to my mom. The confidence she exuded in her style choices made her the most beautiful women in the world to me. In fact, most of my vintage pieces I feature on my blog come from her closet. Nowadays, this confidence has led me down my own style evolution. For me, it's important to remain individual and not look like everyone else. I am a born and bred Angeleno and that is what most of my style emulates. It's inspired by the casual, easy, bohemian feel of living by the beach. However, having lived in New York for seven years, my style can also be inspired by the eclectic way New Yorkers dress. Lastly, I get truly inspired by reading fashion magazines and some of my favorite fashion blogs.
Which brands are you following during NYFW?
After seeing a couple shows this past week at NYFW, I have a new found love for Mara Hoffman and Tracy Reese. The prints and colors that both designers used were just truly amazing!
What trends are you looking forward to trying?
My style is usually subdued in neutrals so I'm definitely going to be trying more prints and bold color this upcoming season.
What's your beauty regimen?
For beauty, my motto is if it works, why change it! The biggest compliment I receive about my makeup is my flawless complexion. I start with MAC Primer then use Estee Lauder foundation that gives the perfect amount of coverup. I always use NARS blush in Deep Throat, plus a bronzer to make my skin look sun-kissed. I add Lorac black liner on my upper and lower lid and I never ever forget mascara! For my lips, I literally use the limited edition Viva Glam MAC lipstick by Niki Minaj everyday! I thought I lost it during NYFW and almost cried. Luckily, I found it hidden in my bag. My friends know I could never part with it!
Finish the sentence: My fashion mantra is if you like it, wear it! Don't worry about what others think. Also, when in doubt, throw a hat on it =)

Meet Jenny Wu, a stylish fashion lawyer and full time blogger at "Good, Bad, and Fab." We're quite obsessed with this style maven, and know you will be too!
How would you describe your personal style?
My personal style is very eclectic and reflects the diversity of LA's neighborhoods and colorful subcultures. In just one outfit change, I can go from Venice boho to Beverly HIlls posh!
Who or where do you draw inspiration from?
I draw my inspiration from style blogs, magazines, pinterest, and the streets of LA. I grew up in LA so I can't help but be influenced by its celebrity culture and count Kate Bosworth and Nicole Richie as two of my style favs.
What trends do you have to try before the summer season ends?
I'm bummed it's August already and am in a mad rush to try out the "skort" trend and am working up the courage to rock a pair of statement making gladiators sandals.
Blogging isn't your only experience in the world of fashion. What's life like for a fashion lawyer?
Quite tame compared to fashion blogging! I draft contracts, negotiate licensing deals, and am involved in the enforcement of copyrights and trademarks. Basically, I take care of the behind the scenes work that keep the fashion wheels spinning.
Do you have any advice for students who want to pursue fashion law?
Get an internship at a law firm that represents fashion clients to get an idea of the industry and the work involved. Start networking early by attending industry mixers and events. Knowledge is power!
When you shop, how do you balance choosing clothes for work and leisure?
I don't. I make sure everything I buy is versatile enough to wear to work and to play.
If you were to spill one beauty secret with us, what would it be?
M.A.C. Russian Red lipstick. It will change the way you see red lipstick and maybe even change your life.
Your blog name is "Good, Bad, and Fab" what are some good and/or bad experiences you have had with fashion over the years?
Since I've started my blog, I've had so many good, great and fabulous experiences. Going to New York and Milan fashion week definitely are on the top of the list. Being the official Saks Fifth Avenue blogger is also up there. As for bad experiences, I think I tend to take on more than I can chew because I get so excited when new opportunities come up. So I end up trying to juggle a hundred projects at once which results in sleep deprivation. So yeah, unable to experience the joy of sleeping eights hours a night is a bad experience.
Finish the sentence. My fashion mantra is work, play, dress, and live fabulously!

Meet Allison Chesky! She's a Markets Editor at Real Simple and an expert on all things surrounding style. Since she's privy to the hottest trends, we had her select her favorites from ShoeDazzle and give insight on what inspires her personal look.
Describe a normal day at Real Simple? On a typical day, I balance the responsibilities of discovering new designers, previewing collections, and finding suitable pieces for the stories we are working on. While it can be filled with long hours, it never feels like work
What components complete your style? My style is a combination of minimalist with feminine and global influences interspersed. I love to pair new designers' pieces with classic silhouettes, and a top it off with a little flair.
Who's your style muse? In terms of style, I love and identify with the glamour and ladylike quality of Old Hollywood icons, and consistently draw from them, like Grace Kelly and Marilyn. Though I equally appreciate artistic and modern interpretations of street style dressing.
What trends do you have on your radar? I love how leather and leopard have become new wardrobe staples: neutrals, if you will. Especially in a New York climate, its welcome and a versatile addition to a fall/winter wardrobe.
Summer Getaway? I just spent the summer in Nantucket with my family, which is my summertime sanctuary. It is filled with beautiful beaches, all-American pastimes and it's the perfect place to unwind beyond the hustle and bustle of NYC.
What made you pursue fashion?
I've always been addicted to shopping and clothes. I come from a family with primarily men, so I guess I turned out as girly as possible.
How would you describe your style?
My style is always evolving. I tend to dress for the occasion and what I'm feeling like for the day. Some days I'm super vintage and other days I can be a total hippie. I guess I would say my style is chameleon like.
Where do you find style inspiration from?
I definitely get my style inspiration from fellow bloggers and friends. I love to see real girls wearing pieces I would wear in their own unique ways.
What's your go-to piece to make a fashion statement?
A fabulous full vintage skirt. It's become my signature piece and I get so excited when I find a new one while vintage shopping.
You're a Los Angeles native. If we were to hang out, where would you take us?
I would probably take you all over, since L.A. is such a large city. Brunch in Los Feliz probably my favorite little restaurant Alcove, followed by shopping on Melrose, a short peak at the LACMA, and dinner and drinks in Downtown.
We noticed you're into travelling, tell us about your love for Italy and Via Ghibellina 76?
I spent a semester abroad in Italy about 2 years ago and fell in love with traveling. Europe is definitely a different place. It was so eye opening to see the many lifestyles people lived. Via Ghibellina 76 was my apartment and it was my favorite place to people watch from my window and write.
Tell us, which season do you prefer for dressing up?
Fall is my favorite season. I live trench coats and boots. It's nice cause you can later for warmth but also de-layer if it gets hot which it usually does in LA.
When it comes to working out, what's your favorite method?
Bikram yoga is my go to workout method. It centers me body mind and soul. I love detoxing and flushing the bad substances out of my system. It's more for health than just being fit and having a nice body.
What's on your workout playlist?
Nothing. Bikram yoga requires you to clear your mind and so you have to be in silence for an hour and a half.
Since your name is Stiletto beats, we can't help but to ask… What's your favorite ShoeDazzle heel?
I have so many but the one I love right now is the Levi! Edgy, comfortable and so wearable.

Blake Von D caught our attention when she won a ShoeDazzle contest. Her unique take on fashion and beauty had us from the beginning. But, her love for law keeps us intrigued. Read on to get to know a girl with beauty and brains!
Who is Blake Von D?
I'm really just a normal girl. Like a lot of girls, I enjoy pretty things and can't get enough of dressing up. I'm also a big dreamer and all about girl power. I think there's nothing that women can't do and I try to embody that in everything I do.
If you had to tell your teenage-self one thing what would it be?
"TAKE THAT OFF!" Lol. I look back at all the terrible fashion choices I made as a teenager and I cringe. I can't even justify it by conceding that I was fashionable for the time. Nope. It was just all around terrible decision making lol.
What type of law will you practice? What made you decide to go into law?
I've wanted to be a lawyer since I was a little girl. I've always had a penchant for "proving my point". At the moment, I'm not quite sure what type of law I want to practice. I originally thought that I would definitely go into criminal defense. But lately I've been giving some thought to the fields of Fashion Law or IP Law, which deals with things like copyrights and trademarks. It's a tough decision because I'm really passionate about social justice (I also have a Master's of Social Work) and I feel like by not doing criminal defense, I'd be letting people down. But I just have to keep reminding myself that, "It's ok to have more than one dream."
To put it simply your hair is amazing! Do you have any hair journey stories that you can share with our readers?
Thank you! I cut my hair into this style shortly after graduating college in 2009 and I couldn't have chosen a better style for myself. I think it really showcases my "what you see is what you get" personality and has forced me to truly appreciate my appearance on a deeper level, without relying on hair as a crutch. I'm loving everything about this journey!
Tell us your beauty secrets! What's something you can't live without?
I love a good foundation. My current go-to is MACs Liquid Studio Fix Foundation. I'm also a sucker for a good tube of mascara. My favorite is Maybelline's Stiletto Mascara. And I always close out my day by cleansing my skin with Rx for Brown Skin's acne treatment system.
We love your style, you were literally the girl crush of our office! Whose style do you often find yourself crushing on?
I'm totally blushing! You guys sure know how to make a girl feel special. I have quite a few style crushes. It's hard to choose a favorite, but if I had to, it would be Rihanna (at the moment). She's fearless and always willing to make bold style choices. You can't help but love a girl with that sort of bravery. I also love Olivia Palermo's style. That girl has impeccable taste!
If you could raid their closet what would you take?
O goodness, where to start?! I would DEFINITELY take the Stephane Rolland dress Rihanna wore to the 2009 Glamour Magazine Awards. It was showstopping! I'd also steal off with the black Armani gown she wore to the 2012 Grammys. As for Olivia Palermo, she always has great shoes. So I'd probably start by taking a pair…or six.
Do you have any statement pieces that you guiltlessly wear over and over again?
I have a great blazer that I recently purchased from H&M that I just can't get enough of. It goes great with almost anything. It's kind of sad how often I find myself wanting to wear it.
Finish the sentence. When I want to refresh my wardrobe I ____________.
I always start with my shoes!
The right shoe can change the whole feel of an outfit and luckily I have Shoedazzle to feed my addiction!
Head nod to your "Notoriously Chic" shirt, what's one of your favorite lyric's from the great B.I.G.?
I'm glad you like it! It's a super cute tee designed by a close friend. I have to admit, I'm not the biggest B.I.G. fan (I'm more of a Tupac kinda girl), but if I had to choose my favorite lyric from the late rapper it would have to be the opening lyrics to "Big Poppa", "To all the ladies in the place with style and grace…". What fashionista can't relate to those lyrics?!

How would you describe your style?
I always have a hard time with this question mostly because my style is constantly changing depending on my mood every day. I would definitely say I'm always on the girly & eclectic side!
When you're getting dressed what's one indicator that you've got the look?
It's an indescribable feeling! You feel confident and it immediately perks up your mood. For me, I instantly start brainstorming for locations to photograph the outfit; even if I'm running late to an appointment. It may sound silly, but you kind of fall in love with what you're wearing – sometimes, it happens when I have no where important to go like buying groceries and running errands and then I debate on whether or not to save it for another occasion.
What are some of your fashion do's and don'ts?
Do push your limits! Some of the best outfits are those where we're thinking outside of the box and maybe slightly outside of our comfort zone, in a good way, whether it's an unusual texture, an eccentric shoe pairing, or a fun pop of color (or all monochromatic). Don't doubt yourself. If you feel good in it, rock it!
Have you ever made a huge fashion mistake?
Of course! There was one outfit where I just went too far with mixing textures and prints (think monochromatic, faux fur, leather, textured tights, ikat shorts – it was overboard) but I'd rather be on the quirky side causing a small commotion than boring, any day!
Your husband takes all of your photos, what's a fun fact about the man behind the camera?
He used to DJ and competed in battles, placing with some of the top names in the industry!
How do you balance your career in Technology Sales and Blogging full time?
It's definitely something I struggle with, especially during the chaotic month end, quarter end and fiscal year ends as it makes it nearly impossible to not work 24/7 but I would say I attribute it to the fact that my husband and I work together as a team in both careers. Because of that, he really helps me balance it out and keeps me sane! Also, although I definitely spend full time hours blogging (there are just enough hours in a day to work 2 full time jobs and sleep!), it doesn't feel like work because I love it so much!
When you're not blogging or working what do you like to do for fun?
We're big foodies (which is something I do blog about occasionally) so if I'm not working, blogging or attending industry events, you'll find me at any one of LA's highest rated eateries or watering holes!
Your mother went into labor at the South Coast Plaza, what's your favorite store there?
Yes! While she was pregnant with me! What store is there not to love there? I'm not sure I could pick one favorite but I love Hermes (my husband bought my birthday bracelet from there) and well a girl can day dream about their bags all day right? Louis Vuitton from the days I used to collect a ridiculous amount of their bags, Zara because it's Zara and the easy go-to's Nordstrom & Bloomingdales!
How would you say your style has evolved throughout the years?
I'm definitely much more adventurous. Although I've always loved bright colors, fun prints and lots of accessories, I've also always had a huge complex about my legs (they're thicker than the average!) so I used to shy away from fun colored and printed pants. My close friend aka my blogger bestie, Sheryl, would always try to encourage me to try them and she finally got me to wear a pair of red jeans. That's when I fell in love. Now, I have more crazy printed jeans and crazy colors than I do the average blues and blacks!

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Since I have had eczema my whole life and allergic to lanolin I really need to see the ingredients in a cosmetic review. Actually for cleaners I would too, but I use the pre-treated wipes while wearing cotton gloves to minimize the risk. With all the allergic reactions around to dyes and chemicals I feel ingredients should be listed. I usually go to walgreens.com and drugstore.com to get them to cut and paste within the review, unless it is a small list on the box. Since I buy items on ebay now at a fraction of the cost I ask the seller if the item contains lanolin before I make the purchase. Do others feel the ingredients are a key asset to the review and do you rate differently if that data is not listed? As a reader I personally do not like the attitude some reviewers add to their review that insinuate those with allergy problems should not have this data available in the review. When you read in the K&F section the reviews do not say "for those that need to know about batteries", or in H&G they do not say " for those that need to know about the attachments", so why the need to state "for those that need to know about ingredients" in beauty reviews? For those with allergic reactions trying a product that produces rashes, hives, etc is not a pleasant experience and depending on the allergy could be a serious complication. Maybe when posting a review one should consider how it reads to someone who really needs to know this information before assuming the reader is being picky or lazy. I am on dozens of disability lists where kids have to have a gluten and casein free diet and others must avoid dyes - Feingold diet. This means reading labels on everything and special toothpastes and soaps must be purchased. The same for shampoos and detergents. Plus many have sensory issues and certain textures must be avoided. I would like to see more ingredients listed in all sections that have products with ingredients and less focus on those who are rating them differently, because it means a great deal to their health and their concerns should be taken seriously as well. Bonnie
I have some sensitive skin issues as well so I like to read ingredients in skincare product reveiws, BUT... I don't think ingredients are necessary for a VH review. Listing ingredients is up to the writer. If they choose not to list the ingredients, I don't rate any differently based on that. Besides, even if someone does list ingredients, and I decide to purchase the product, I'm going to read the ingredients myself before I use it just to double check. I would never rely solely on an Epinion before using a product that may contain something I'm sensitive/allergic to. So it doesn't really matter if they are listed in the review, bottom line. If an author wishes to include them, great. If not, that's totally fine too. I've read plenty of VH reviews without ingredients. I hope no one feels the need to down-rate a review based on whether the writer has listed the ingredients or not. Epinions are about personal experience USING a product more than anything, everything else is just an added bonus. Just my .02 cents :) Shantel
Bonnie, I often add that text to point out to others that some of us DO have a need for ingredients, and that's why. I know that there are some who read reviews who feel that ingredients lists are nothing more than filler. I always appreciate the lists, because while I always check ingredients before I buy something, I'll know not to bother going to get something that's impossible for us to use. When I'm in Target with three little ones, I don't want to go get something that sounded perfect here on Eps only to find out we can't use it after reading.
I started adding the ingredients after my son had an allergic reaction to some laundry detergent. If someone doesn't want to read them then they can skip it. On a side note to Shantel - it's a great idea to double check the ingredients if you are allergic to anything. You never know when a manufacturer is going to switch the ingredients on you :]
I have been posting ingredients in my recent reviews. I find that, since I have sensitive skin, I am interested in what the stuff has in it. Sometimes, even if my skin isn't sensitive to the ingredients, a long list of unnecessary ingredients will help me to decide not to try a product. I try to think of what a person who is making a decision whether or not to buy a product based on my review would want to see. Some couldn't care less what is it a beauty product but many do. I don't think it hurts the review any and it can only help some people to make a decision. So far, listing the ingredients hasn't hurt my ratings and I hope it has helped some to decide one way or the other on a product. Patty

Matthew Engel is a British journalist who doesn't like Americanisms. The Financial Times columnist told BBC listeners that American English is an unstoppable force whose vile, ugly, and pointless new usages are invading England "in battalions." He warned readers of his regular FT column that American imports like truck, apartment, and movies are well on their way to ousting native lorries, flats, and films.
Engel's tirade against the American "faze, hospitalise, heads-up, rookie, listen up" and "park up" got several million page views (or page impressions, as the Brits seem to call them), along with thousands of comments, when it appeared in the BBC News Magazine.
But like many critics of Americanisms, Engel got some of his facts wrong. True, the U.S. may be influencing the spread of English as a world language today, but it was British imperialism, not American, that set English on the path to world domination.
Plus, a few of the words Engel complains about aren't even Americanisms. The first OED citations for hospitalize (so spelled), heads up, and rookie are British, not American, and if the OED and Google are any indication, "park-up," unheard of stateside, seems to be solely a Briticism, an unnecessary alternative to simply saying park, as in "Park-Up.com finds the cheapest parking for you" in London and Brighton.
As is fitting for a Financial Times writer, Engel acknowledges that there's a kind of linguistic marketplace where languages trade words the same way that their speakers trade goods and services, but he sees the balance of trade as seriously tipped in favor of the ugly Americanism.
Engel also praises the English for encouraging "the diversity offered by Welsh and Gaelic—even Cornish is making a comeback." But the status of Welsh and Gaelic is still bitterly contested, not just in England but also in Wales and the Six Counties, and although some Brits grudgingly accept diversity when it's home-grown rather than imported, Prime Minister David Cameron's recent assertion that British multiculturalism has failed and the new government policy that requires immigrants to prove they can speak English before coming to England reveal, not a sense that English is a big tent with room for all, but a growing strain of linguistic nativism.
It should surprise no one that the Brits have been complaining about Americanisms since they first came to America. The word Americanism was actually coined in 1781 by John Witherspoon, a Scot who relocated to New Jersey and became the first president of Princeton.
Americanism, the word coined by John Witherspoon in 1781, was one of the first Americanisms. According to Witherspoon, even "persons of rank and education" used Americanisms.
Witherspoon intended his new word to be neutral: an Americanism was simply "an use of phrases or terms, or a construction of sentences" that differed from British usage. He coined it on the analogy of Scotticism, a term of insult that goes back to the 17th century. Witherspoon tried to treat Scotticism as a neutral term as well, though as he did so he acknowledged that "the Scottish manner of speaking came to be considered as provincial barbarism; which, therefore, all scholars are now at the utmost pains to avoid."
Witherspoon notes that Scotticism shouldn't be a negative term, though he also says that Scotticisms have come to be considered barbarous, even by the Scots.
Some of Witherspoon's best friends were Americans, and he saw that in light of American independence, and in the course of time, American English could be expected to diverge from the language of England and develop its own standards. But while he waited for this to happen, Witherspoon found many American errors and improprieties to complain about.
Witherspoon published his essay on the errors and improprieties of Americanisms in the Pennsylvania Journal on May 9, 1781. Some 19th-century usage critics pointed out that the word journal literally refers to a "daily" publication. The Pennsylvania Journal in which Witherspoon attacked Americanisms was a weekly.
Witherspoon, like Engel, objected to a number of so-called Americanisms that turned out to be British:
Witherspoon's 1781 essay on Americanisms sparked a long tradition of attacks on Americanisms, mostly by Brits (and of course the French). Some of the expressions in question did turn out to be American. And certainly some of them were ugly, or illogical, or redundant. But many of them were British. Much language is ugly, illogical, and redundant; and not all objectionable phrases are American.
Just as Witherspoon's essay on Americanisms struck a chord, Engel's critique prompted other like-minded Brits to bombard the BBC with examples of unwanted and pernicious Americanisms, and the Beeb published a follow-up list of the 50 most maddening ones. But there were objections to Engel as well, not all of them from Americans. To his critics Engel replied that he had been treated more civilly and sensibly by members of the National Rifle Association after a column on gun control than by "this lot," his dismissive characterization of the linguists and lexicographers who questioned his under-researched data and his off-the-wall conclusions.
As a parting shot, Engel warned that the English love of Americanisms, if unrestrained, will lead to "51st statehood," and he counseled his fellow countrymen to maintain "the integrity of our own gloriously nuanced, subtle and supple version—the original version—of the English language."
But as English grows as a world language, more and more speakers of English aren't native speakers of English and don't live in English-speaking countries. As a result, the importance of the "original version" of the language will continue to decline, and the question of who owns English will ultimately become irrelevant.
But until that happens, and speaking as Engel did of 51st statehood, it might be appropriate to note that the first OED citation for statehood back in 1868 shows that word to be—you guessed it—an Americanism.
First OED citation of the word statehood, from an article on the impeachment of Pres. Johnson and the nomination of Gen. Grant, in the New York Times, June 8, 1868.

Paul Downton (born Paul Rupert Downton, 4 April 1957, Farnborough, Kent)[1] is a former English cricketer, who played in thirty Tests and twenty eight ODIs from 1977 to 1989.[1] He was a wicket-keeper and a useful[citation needed] batsman in the lower middle-order. He played his county cricket for both Kent and Middlesex.[1]
Life and cricket career[edit]
Downton attended Sevenoaks Prep School, Sevenoaks School and the University of Exeter. He obtained a degree in law, a certificate in coaching and earned international honours at youth level in both cricket and rugby union.[1] His early county cricket career was with Kent. However, he became frustrated filling in for Alan Knott when on international duties, and moved to Middlesex in 1980. On arrival, he has been described by a teammate there as 'an intelligent, dapper individual...who did not immediately seem to fit with the rather cruder, laddish Londoners in the team.'.[2] On his first-class debut with Middlesex, the captain, Mike Brearley, chose to use Downton as an opener, and the two registered an opening partnership of 160.[2] Downton tasted Test cricket for the first time in the West Indies that winter. He was dropped after the first Test against Australia in the summer of 1981 and had to wait until the summer of 1984 for further such honours, when he was picked at home to bolster England's batting options against the West Indies. It began an uninterrupted twenty-three match run in the national team.[1]
A trustworthy, affable and resourceful team member, Downton played a starring role in Middlesex's successes in the 1980s.[1] The cricket journalist and Dwnton's former Middlesex team-mate Simon Hughes has described Downton as 'gracious, encouraging, unfailingly polite, a diplomat. The kind of chap...who would offer the bailiffs a glass of sherry if they turned up unannounced.'[2] Hughes argues that Downton's calm personality, even when dealing with difficult colleague, was a significant factor in Downton's success as a player and stand-in captain at Middlesex while Brearley was absent playing for England.
Post cricket career[edit]
Downton's cricket career ended when he suffered a freak eye injury, in which a bail lodged in his eye when he was standing up to the stumps.[1] He subsequently became a stockbroker at Cazenove & Co, having been 'partly immersed in the City'[2] by the time of his accident.
On 16 October 2013, Downton was appointed to the position of Managing Director of the England and Wales Cricket Board with effect from 1 February 2014. He replaced Hugh Morris who resigned to become chief executive and managing director of Glamorgan County Cricket Club.[3]
Personal life[edit]
Downton now lives in Sevenoaks, Kent, with his wife Ali Downton. They have two children; Phoebe, born 1987 and Jonty, born 1989. Both are now studying at the University of Exeter.

Although I have been vegetable gardening for a number of years now, I am relatively inexperienced at growing perennials. Well I bought some perennials at Walmart thinking they were irises. I have one blooming now and it is definitely a gladiola. I know nothing about them except they are pretty.
I thought I heard or read somewhere that they are not winter hardy in New York and that the bulbs need to be dug up and replanted every year. Is this true? Where and how do I store them? Some general growing tips would be appreciated. Thanks
Follow-Up Postings:
Becky-just leave them in the ground-they are winter hardy-mine have been in the ground for at least 15 years and rebloom every year. |

Some glads will overwinter but most turn to mush in zone 5 if the ground freezes deeply. The ones that come back in my garden are all red for some reason. Also, they put out some small side bulbs which take forever to get big enough to flower, and look weedy to me. I suppose if you're into propagation, this would be fun. I buy a bag of new ones each year and plant them, and I'm grateful for the ones that come back each year. If you plant them in a sunny, south-facing place against a house, which makes it really a zone 6 microclimate, you might get better comeback. To me it's easier to replant than dig up and save them. |

Thanks. I do have these planted on the south side of the house, right next to the deck. So we'll see if I get lucky with them. |
Becky Mine are on the west side of the house so they get all the wind rain and snow as it blows eatward. Like Husky, mine have been in the ground for 15 yrs. I have never dug them up other than to pass along new ones that pop up and they pop up all over my bed. |

Cantor's defeat and the future of immigration reform
BEAUMONT - by Lauren Huet
Southeast Texans are debating how a congressional race in Virginia could affect illegal immigrants here. It's the first time a sitting House majority leader has lost a primary race since the position was created in 1899. Republican Eric Cantor supported immigration reform, and some on Capitol Hill say his loss could take it off the table before the November elections.
Richard Rosario is a student at Lamar University and the vice president of the Lamar Education Initiative Association, a group that supports immigration reform. Despite GOP House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's defeat by Tea Party candidate David Brat, Rosario says immigration reform is not dead.
"Immigration reform is a movement and as long as there are families, and students, and workers who are wanting to belong to the United States, and as long as there are people like us who are activists for them, then the movement will continue," said Rosario.
However, Cantor's loss to an opponent who slammed him for his support of "amnesty" could cause a delay.
"Now the actual legislation, yes, it could be pushed back a bit," said Rosario. "But that's why we are asking President Barack Obama to act and do what he did for the students, through Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, if he could extend that until the House steps up and finally demands a vote for the immigration reform."
"Eric Cantor seemed to be on the team pushing for an amnesty and I know Texans don't want that, and most Americans just want the law enforced and that's not happening," said the Chairman of the Southeast Texas Tea Party.
Sadighi says Cantor's support of immigration reform was just one factor in his defeat.
"I'm sure it was a factor, but really if you listen to David Brat himself, he was saying he was just going on Republican values," said Sadighi. "Rule of law, limited government, economic freedom, personal freedom, and there's not a whole lot of difference between the Republicans and the Democrats right now as far as that goes."
Rosario says Cantor was out of touch with his constituents.
"They saw Eric Cantor as more interested in his position in Washington than he was about his own district," said Rosario, "and I think that's really what played out. Immigration was an issue, but it wasn't the full issue."
"The big takeaway is the folks in D.C. and the folks in Austin need to start paying a little more attention to what the people are saying, because people have been saying this stuff for a long time, before even the Tea Party started." said Sadighi.
Rosario says he's still hopeful immigration reform will pass.
"Hopefully if it doesn't happen as comprehensive immigration reform, Speaker Boehner keeps his word and he can at least do the piece-meal legislation where it wouldn't be full, but you can have steps to hopefully achieve the full process," said Rosario.

Sometimes it can all be as simple as a guy, a guitar, and an 8-track recorder. UK singer-songwriter Johnny Lloyd, formerly of the band Tribes, wrung some serious beauty out of those ingredients on "Happy Humans," the title track from his upcoming EP. The song's content is as simple and beautiful as its form, with a chorus that simply celebrates "happy humans in love."

Happy Humans will be available as a free download on 8/11.
