Excellent my family loved it. Not dry the wine keep them moist and the sauce was wonderful. And this is coming from an Italian!
Made these meatballs tonight and they were very disappointing. I followed the recipe and the meatballs were dry and overcooked and the sauce was bland.

Killing of one human being by another. Homicide is a general term; it includes murder, manslaughter, and other criminal homicides as well as noncriminal killings. Murder is the crime of intentionally and unjustifiably killing another. In the U.S., first-degree murder is a homicide committed with premeditation or in the course of a serious felony (e.g., kidnapping). Second- and third-degree murder involve lesser degrees of intent. Manslaughter is commonly divided into voluntary (or first-degree) and involuntary (or second- and third-degree) manslaughter. The first type encompasses any homicide resulting from an intentional act done without malice or premeditation and while in the heat of passion or on sudden provocation; the second type is variously defined in different jurisdictions but often includes an element of unlawful recklessness or negligence. Noncriminal homicides include killings committed in defense of oneself or another and deaths resulting from accidents caused by persons engaged in lawful acts. See also felony and misdemeanour; self-defense.

Couple walking near college approached by two men, one with a knife.
A couple walking along Valencia Boulevard near College of the Canyons Friday night were approached by two Hispanic men, one of whom brandished a knife.
At approximately 7:20 p.m., the victim and his girlfriend were walking eastbound near the college when they saw the two men. The woman was allowed to pass, but the two men stepped in front of the male victim, stopping him and making demands in Spanish that the victim did not understand.
One of the men brandished a knife, lunging at the victim's stomach. Fearing for his life, the victim was able to move backwards and run past the two men, escaping.
Deputies found the suspects walking out of the bushes near the college on Rockwell Canyon, but were unable to locate the knife.
The victim identified Joel Martinez, 19, and Wilmer Jiguan, 20, both Newhall residents, as the suspects and the men were booked at the Santa Clarita Valley station on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and attempted robbery. They are both being held on $100,000 bail.

Evidence linking organelles to prokaryotes
FlagellaThe eukaryotic flagellum may have arisen as a result of a spirochete prokaryote becoming attached to a host cell. Other OrganellesThe nuclear membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, and golgi apparatus may have arisen as a result of invagination (folding inward) of the plasma membrane. Life CyclesReview of Cell DivisionMitosis results in two cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis results in four cells that have half as many chromosomes as the parent cell. Activity: Introduction to Life Cycles

Diversity of ProtistsIntroduction
DiatomsDiatoms are the most numerous unicellular algae in the oceans and as such are an important source of food and oxygen. They are also important in freshwater environments. They capture 20 to 25% of solar energy captured by living organisms. The cell walls of diatoms contain silica (a component of glass) and are formed in 2 halves like a pillbox. Their remains form diatomaceous earth. It is used for filtering agents, and abrasives such as scouring powders. Diatoms are a major component of phytoplankton in freshwater and marine environments. Below: Mixed diatoms X 400 Golden AlgaeGolden algae are photoautotrophs but some are mixotrophs. The golden color is due to carotenoid pigments. The cells are usually biflagelate. Many are unicellular, planktonic but some are colonial. Brown Algae
The pellicle (outer covering) of paramecium is covered with hundreds of cilia. They have numerous organelles including a gullet (oral groove) and an anal pore. Below: Paramecium caudatum X 100 Ciliates have a large macronucleus and a smaller micronucleus. The micronucleus is involved in sexual and asexual reproduction. Other nuclear activities are handled by the macronucleus. The macronucleus is polyploid (approximately 860 N in Paramecium aurelia) and the micronucleus is diploid.. During reproduction, the macronucleus disintegrates. Later, a micronucleus will develop into a macronucleus. Most reproduction is asexual (mitosis). Sexual reproduction is by conjugation.

CercozoansCercozoans are amoeboid or flagellate. Many are heterotrophs, including many parasites or predators. They feed using pseudopods. They are comon in marine, freshwater, and soil ecosystems. They are typically the most abundant eukaryotes in soil ecosystems and may be the most numerous predators on earth. Radiolarians

The New York Jets come into there preseason finale a fairly healthy group with players in the middle and bottom of the roster ready to make plays to hopefully make the final cuts in the coming days. Michael Vick started at quarterback against his former club but Mark Sanchez did not do the same for the Eagles against Gang Green.
First Half:
After one play Matt Simms came out with a visor for Michael Vick and would play the rest of the half. LeQuan Lewis picked Matt Barkley in the end zone after the Jets punted on there first drive. On the Eagles next drive Lewis was beat in coverage by Benn for a long touchdown pass from Barkley. He thought he had safety help over the top that was not there, Eagles went up 7-0. Matt Simms to Chris Pantale for 50 yards after Jalen Saunders was tackled for loss as punt returner. The Jets would get down in scoring position but on fourth down Simms overthrew Greg Salas, who was wide open in the end zone. The Eagles added a 54 yard field goal just before half time. Alex Green fumbled with under a minute to go before the half that might have cost him a roster spot. The Eagles add one more chip shot field goal to make it 13-0 at the half.
Second Half:
Tajh Boyd would take the field for the second half at quarterback. He completed a nice pass to Chris Pantale to put the Jets up to there own 45 yard line on the second play of the opening drive. A few plays later a 42 yard bomb to Clyde Gates tipped by a defender netted the Jets there only score of the game. Johnny Patrick blew up a play for a seven yard loss and while got dinged in the head apparently did not suffer a concussion, as the third quarter was in it's waning seconds. Jalen Saunders showed his toughness on a catch when he got his helmet ripped off, which should have netted the Jets a facemask penalty. The Jets second and moslty third team defense gave up three touchdowns in the final quarter and Philly won 37-7. We found out late in the game that all teams will have a 10 man practice squad now with players being eligible for it who have been active up to 32 games over several seasons as before was only six.
For the New York Jets it may not just be about who makes opening day roster but whom of those released will then hopefully clear waivers and be signed back to the now 10 spots available on the practice squad. We could see some draft choices from last year and certainly this past draft be left out in the cold altogether as the cuts come down later today.

Voters in Pomeroy and Dayton school districts may have already found ballots in their mailboxes for the special election Feb. 8.
Pomeroy School District is seeking a $661,076 one-year replacement maintenance and operation levy.
Cost to property owners is estimated at $2.78 per $1,000 assessed valuation, meaning the owner of a home valued at $100,000 would be assessed $278 in 2012 if the levy passes.
The levy amount is higher than the last levy, but the tax rate is the same, Superintendent Kim Spacek said.
Dayton School District is seeking a $250,000 supplemental maintenance and operation levy to help offset anticipated cuts in state funding.
Cost to taxpayers will be .45 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation, or $45 for the owner of a property valued at $100,000.
If the measure passes, the levy will be added to the M&O levy voters approved in February 2010.
A Talking Points document provided by the district states: "... it is the hope of the District that local taxpayers will accept the additional tax burden resulting from anti-tax votes and slumping state revenues. Without these funds it is clear that some significant changes would be necessary in many areas of the District's budget in order to run a balanced budget in 2011-2012 and beyond."
If state cuts turn out to be less severe than anticipated, money from the levy will be used to restore some services already cut, including counseling, and possibly library and office support staff.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I would like to know what specific typefaces were used on cigarette advertising posters back in the 1950's and 1960's.
I'm aware of particular styles from those decades but cannot pinpoint too many exact typefaces used.
Can you post or link to any specific examples?
Are you referring to ads such as this example: Lucky Strike Ad?
I found this article on wikipedia that might help: cigarette packaging.
Spam? Do you mean my post or..?
He's saying to the lindsayfox post is spam; her first post was a promotion of her site, which is a commercial site that's unrelated to typography.
The Lucy Strike ad is most likely from before World War II -- you can tell by the green packaging. One of their ads early in WWII was "Lucky Strike Green has Gone to War" -- and they changed to a white package.

I know running the pump during the evening hours should save some $$$ on electrical, but are there any negative
drawbacks to the pool water sitting stagnant during the heat of the day? I use to run mine from morning to early afternoon, but know changed it to 7p.m. to 2:30 a.m. I haven't seen anything negative yet, but it's only been a week. Any experts, or novices have any thoughts on this subject? Thank You |
Follow-Up Postings:
luvh20, Electricity suppliers usually suggest that you run the pool pumps during off-peak hours to lessen the stress on the grid. In CA. I used to run my pump for a few hours when the pool was most likely to be used and then again during the off-peak hours of early morning. There is no substitute for good filtration to keep a pool looking good. |

I think, just trying to remember what it was, that air guns have a forward and back 'kick', so to speak. Don't quote me..I'm a bit tired. Haven't been to bed in over 24 hrs, so please forgive me if I didn't remember correct. Hopefully someone can agree or disagree with me to help you. Best of luck to you. S.S.
If it says aairgun rated then it means that the scope can be mounted on to a spring piston air rifle as well as a rimfire or centerfire rifle. You can take a $1000 Leupold and stick it on a gamo or RWS air gun and reduce it to a shell of a scope because of the recoil energy is reversed from what a rimfire or centerfire rifle. Hope this helps. It will work just fine on your Howa.
Ok that makes more sense. I was worried that there was a rating system and I would have thought Airgun was near the bottom and that for advertising purposes they would display the highest rating.
The forces generated by spring piston pellet rifles, particularly the stronger 1s, exert forces comparable to an very heavy caliber magnum rifle, but in exactly the opposite direction. For that reason, airgun scopes are built to handle that recoil, whereas most centerfire scopes are not.

Three weeks after quitting my job
Published in April 25th, 2009
It has now been three weeks since I quit my full-time job, so I figured it was time to look back and ask myself some questions. Q: Myself, do you miss your old career? A: Since I quit I have not thought of it once, so I guess the answer is no. Actually, I did […]
Consumerism II
Published in April 23rd, 2009
Consumerism strives to maximize consumption. Consumption incidentally means destruction e.g. "consumed by fire". Consumption is the opposite of production. Production creates something, consumption destroys it. Naturally to live, we need to destroy something, like the food we eat, or the clothes we wear out. Destruction is a natural part of life. When we die, we […]

Here's my rant for the day, just in case anyone doesn't have a problem of her own to worry about :)
I had a potential client wanting an exact cake replica of a military aircraft sitting on a runway, complete with replicas of several of the soldier's medals to serve 30 guests. The closest thing I've ever done to this was a replica of an antique car. I priced it way too low, completely underestimated how much time it would take and ended up making only $10/hour, not counting what it cost for ingredients and materials (frame, heavy-duty board, etc.)
After spending hours researching this airplane and finding the scale blueprints, I sent the client a message quoting her $1500 for the project, noting at least 40 hours of work, plus the materials. Her response was this: "$150? or $1500? We were looking for something in the $100-$150 range. See what you can do with that. Maybe make a smaller plane, lol" I can't even begin to explain how livid I am. People seriously don't have a clue! The time I've already spent on this project warrants $150 and I haven't even turned on the oven.

We have identified a novel human zinc finger protein, hFOG-2, which is related to but distinct from the murine transcription factor Friend-of-GATA-1 (mFOG-1). The hFOG-2 gene was initially detected in K562 cells using a polymerase chain reaction approach with degenerate primers corresponding to zinc finger regions of mFOG-1. A murine homologue of hFOG-2 was also identified in the mouse expressed sequence tag data banks, indicating that a family of FOG genes exists in mammals. hFOG-2 appears to be widely expressed, while mFOG-1 is expressed primarily in erythroid and megakaryocytic cells and plays a fundamental role in the development of these lineages. Sequencing of the full-length hFOG-2 cDNA indicates that the interaction domains for transcription factors GATA-1 and mCtBP2 are both conserved and we have shown that this new FOG protein also physically interacts with these factors. We have demonstrated that hFOG-2, like mFOG-1, can act in concert with GATA-1 to activate gene expression from the p45 NF-E2 promoter region, but that it can also act to repress GATA-mediated activation of additional reporter constructs. Finally, we have identified a repression domain in hFOG-2 and show that repression is dependent upon the integrity of the mCtBP2 interaction motif Pro-Ile-Asp-Leu-Ser.

People have enjoyed eating fermented foods for millennia. In fact, many experts believe that one of the ways our ancestors stayed well was by eating these foods, thereby gaining access to health-promoting bacteria that entered their digestive tracts.
Studies have shown that the use of probiotics, commonly defined as live microbes which when ingested provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition, can help prevent or treat disorders ranging from diarrhea to cancer, from irritable bowel syndrome to eczema. Considering that we're talking about living microbes, there have been concerns that probiotic therapy might lead to infection in susceptible individuals. Thankfully, complications from probiotic therapy have largely been limited to people whose immune systems are not working as well as usual, either due to illness or the use of specific medicines. However, it can be difficult to decide exactly what kind of product to use, when, and in what dosage. Here are some brief guidelines on the use of probiotics to optimize health:
1) Unless you have been declared healthy by your primary care doctor, always speak with your doctor first before using a probiotic (you may have a condition where using a probiotic would not be indicated, or might even be harmful).
2) Try to use products that contain the organisms on which the majority of research has been performed (your doctor should be able to help you in this regard). Focus on using products that contain either Lactobacilli, Bifidobacteria, or both.
3) Use a dosage of at least 1 billion CFU daily (CFU stands for Colony Forming Units). Higher dosages appear to be safe, but lower dosages may not be effective. While single species probiotics are often effective, some experts recommend using multiple species products.
4) Many, but not all, products require refrigeration. Be sure to read product labels carefully.
Probiotic therapy is becoming a field unto itself, so new information comes out seemingly every day. There is reason for great optimism regarding the potential health benefits of probiotics (which are frequently available in food markets and pharmacies), but caution is advisable if you have a chronic illness. While probiotics appear to be largely safe, there have been reported instances of problems, especially for people whose immune systems are compromised. It makes sense to speak with your doctor first before using any supplement or vitamin.

The FAC currently has 12 active research & evaluation projects in various stages of the research cycle.
- 6 projects focus on families and fathers
- 3 are related to domestic and family violence
- 2 projects focus on community development
- One pilot evaluation project relating to the DRUMBEAT program
Fatherhood Research Network Bulletin - June 2014
Research & Evaluation Projects
Fishbowl - evaluation | An evaluation of a practical group for parents residing in a refuge. | Kerrell Bourne, Dr Leanne Schubert, Jane Mitchell |
YAW Stayin' on track | This project is unique because young Aboriginal fathers themselves are helping to build a website which will support other young Aboriginal fathers during their transition to fatherhood. The project is supported by researchers in rural health, fathering, psychiatry and indigenous health. Award-winning filmmaker Gavin Banks is producing brief filmic accounts of the young fathers' stories that will be used on the website to hopefully engage others. The young Aboriginal men will be able to see other young dads telling their stories. | Dr Richard Fletcher and Craig Hammond |
Transition Streets Challenge (TSC) | TSC brings neighbours together to explore ways in which their neighbourhoods can become more sustainable and more connected. Research will explore (through interviews, focus groups, a survey and participant observation) what can be learnt from the TSC project in terms of community engagement and promoting sustainability. The ethics application has been submitted and the interviews will commence in July. | Dr Graeme Stuart with Amanda Howard (Social Work) and Emily Grace (Environmental & Life Science). |
Dads Connecting | The Dads Connecting program has been designed by the Family Action Centre at the University of Newcastle in partnership with Interrelate Family Centres. The program is based on recent Australian research on fathering and adapted from a highly successful model of video-feedback with mothers in the Netherlands. Dads Connecting aims to help fathers form a stronger connection with their child, especially if they have been separated through family separation, illness, military or workplace duties. Presentations to welfare/child protection services are continuing and the program is being adapted to offer the program to mothers. | Dr Richard Fletcher, Chris May, Jane Mitchell, Jennifer St George and Claudia da Silva. |
Building Connections through Play | Ongoing rollout of this major Interrelate funded project. This research project involves active play based groups for parents and preschoolers. | Dr Jennifer StGeorge and Dr Richard Fletcher |
Fathers' role in child injury risk behaviour | This is a joint data analysis project with The University of Montreal's Professor Daniel Paquette in Canada. | Jennifer StGeorge, Richard Fletcher, Emily Freeman |
Grandfathers' views on Grandparenting | Work recently completed and Paper submitted to International Journal of Aging and Human Development | Dr Richard Fletcher and Dr Jennifer StGeorge |
Parents' views of father-child rough and tumble play | Analysis based on 60 interviews with mothers, fathers and childcare centre staff, on the purpose of play. | Dr Jennifer StGeorge, Dr Richard Fletcher, Katrien Pickles |
Drumbeat evaluation | Evaluation plans agreed to, research design and grant application being prepared | Dr Jennifer St George, Kate Dennis |
Deadly Dads Evaluation | An ethics application has been submitted and approved subject to some minor amendments. The ethics approval will enable qualitative data to be collected using audio-visual recording during June 2013 on the Healing Foundation program. | Craig Hammond, Chris May |
Got It! Evaluation | Got It! (Getting on Track on time) is a school-based early intervention program offered by the Department of Education & Communities, together with the Ministry of Health and Local Health Districts, under the NSW Government "Keep Them Safe" strategy. The program is designed to reduce child behaviour problems. | Penny Crofts, Dr Graeme Stuart, Deb Hartman In partnership with Debbie Plath Consulting |
Glencore Research | Two research projects are being undertaken as part of the Xstrata Capacity Building Project – one with Carries Place Women's and Children's Services and one with Muswellbrook Women's and Children's Refuge (MWCR). MWCR has recently been identified as the preferred supplier for upper Hunter homelessness and outreach services. We will work with MWCR as it transitions into its new role. | Penny Crofts, Dr Leanne Schubert and Kate Akhurst-Dennis |
Beyond Blue | Over 50 researchers, clinicians and managers from Australia, USA, Sweden, UK, Canada and Poland are working on this proposal for developing a National Paternal Perinatal Depression Initiative. | Richard Fletcher, Sharon Douglas, Simon Fowler & 50+ others. |
Berry Street | The Fathers and Families Research program will now develop a Foundations for Practice: Father-inclusive Practice project with Berry St staff. | Richard Fletcher & Chris May. |
Dads-Kid-Connect | A two year pilot Collaborative Partners Project (via Family and Community Programs) - Dad-Kid-Connect. The project will adapt and trial Dads Connect for families where the child has a disability. | Richard Fletcher. |

for the occasional pointing, but if you do point-heavy stuff it can go
so far that your fingertips heat up and you almost start to rub them
off. The touchpad can be disabled using Fn+F7 but this happens pretty
much in hardware as far as I know and can lead to xruns (same goes for

Small Companies Top Japanese Prime Minister's Fall Agenda
TOKYO -- Well, it's about time. After spending much of the last session of parliament devising ways to help Japan's large corporations restructure, Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi is finally solidifying plans to give small firms a boost. Accounting for 99% of the companies in Japan and employing 78% of the work force, these firms have borne the brunt of the bruising recession from which this country is just now emerging.
After months of leaking juicy tidbits to the press, the Obuchi administration began last week to reveal a rough outline of the small-business measures it intends to pass during the session of parliament convening on Friday. While most of these measures are designed to provide a shot in the arm to high-tech start-ups and encourage venture businesses, others will act as life support for failing firms that probably should have shuttered their doors long ago.
Part of the problem is funding. Japan's venture capital market is shrinking. Andrew Shipley, senior economist at Schroders Securities, says that in 1998 the total balance of venture capital funds fell a disturbing 27% to about $1.2 billion, less than one-tenth of the venture capital funds in the U.S. last year. In an effort to give a leg up to small start-ups, which played such a big role in fueling America's recovery a decade ago, Obuchi wants to implement changes to help them attract funds.
To begin with, individual "angel" investors in Japan can get tax write-offs if they incur losses on money put into venture businesses that are up to five years old. Obuchi hopes to encourage these risk-takers to invest more money in a greater number of new businesses by extending that limit to 10 years.
He also aims to help high-tech venture companies by letting them offer up to 30% of their outstanding shares in stock options to employees (up from 10%). And he intends to expand the people who can receive stock options to include outside contractors, such as consultants and patent agents. For start-ups, often desperately cash-poor, this provision is long overdue. Furthermore, the prime minister will submit legislation that would permit Japan's Finance Corporation for Small Business to collateralize loans using a company's technology -- a thoroughly novel approach for a banking system that relies on assets like land for securing loans. Presumably, this initiative will encourage private banks to follow suit. While these are good first steps, they don't go far enough and often involve considerable government meddling at a time when the ministries say they are trying to let market forces drive this economy. For example, initially there was talk that "angels" would be allowed to write off losses from venture capital investments against any form of income, similar to what then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher did in the U.K. in the 1980s. Somewhere along the way, however, that idea was apparently scrapped, meaning "angels" will continue only to take tax write-offs for venture losses against gains made through equity trading. The exclusion has the fingerprints of the tax-hungry Ministry of Finance all over it. Moreover, it will be trade ministry officials who decide which high-tech firms are eligible to expand the percentage of shares they can offer as stock options. Similarly, the Finance Corporation for Small Business will get into the business of picking winners and losers by determining which companies have technologies that can be used as collateral to secure loans from that quasi-governmental lending institution. Another problem area: Last December, Obuchi created a special 20 trillion-yen ($189 billion) government loan-guarantee program for small firms. Trade minister Takashi Fukaya announced last Friday that he intends to expand the program by another 10 trillion yen and left open the option for even more guarantees next year. Furthermore, a key component of the small-firms legislation on deck this fall will probably be a proposal to expand significantly the definition of small and midsize companies. Granted, this loan program has worked wonders for reversing the dramatic explosion of bankruptcies in Japan last year. It also reduced the sense of panic in the economy by slowing the rising unemployment rate, which now stands at 4.7%, down from the historic high of 4.9% this summer. And it's true the program has probably kept solvent a lot of viable companies that would have otherwise gone bust. But it has also almost certainly kept far more hopelessly inefficient mom-and-pop firms chugging along. As long as the loan guarantee scheme stays in place, the forces of "creative destruction" will be delayed. Why is Obuchi so keen on devoting his all to small companies in the upcoming session of parliament? The answer is two-fold. Because these firms account for roughly half of the nation's output, this economy can't enjoy a full-fledged recovery until they get back on their feet. In addition, Obuchi finally seems to recognize, at least to some degree, that job creation will be limited unless he establishes a business environment friendly to innovative, venture firms. The other answer, of course, involves electoral politics. Obuchi must hold a lower house poll by October 2000 and the people who run and work for small companies are generally big supporters of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party. That's why he's turned his attention from assisting Japan's corporate giants to passing out policy goodies to the little guys. What a surprise!Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Watch these chicks losing their panites in a game of "Truth or Dare" that ends up in a hot and wild orgy.
When you're playing Truth or Dare with amateur sluts this sexy, you better expect the craziest stuff to go down. Nikki twerks naked on the road, and these babes strip down and streak down the block, before having a nasty orgy back at dude's house.
To have an unforgettable vacation, dudes here brought these amateur sluts along for the ride. All three of these hoes were willing to do fucked up stuff on camera! Once they started going wild, there was no limit to the nasty stuff we got on camera.
The amateur sluts in this clip barely needed any encouragement to act on all their filthy fantasies in the party bus. Chloe gave Zoey a raunchy lap dance, then ate her pussy, before taking turns wetting down the dicks of their two lucky guy-friends.
These rando dudes posted a video of their camping trip with the two sluttiest girls they know. They talked those amateur girls into flashing their tits and ass, and it wasn't long until those girls stripped down for an epic foursome by the water.
The wild teens who showed up at dude's pool party were down to try anything once, even sucking cock underwater. These whores splashed around in the pool, twerking their big asses and fucking while their friends filmed an amateur group sex porn!
When everyone left the party I was left with all the mess, but that's not the only thing I was left with. I found Lexi and Tiffany snoozing in the car and when they woke up they were ready to party harder than before.
Me and my buddies are chilling in the backyard with three of the most stunning ladies this side of the Nevada State line. Next fucking thing you know, the girls are rocking their fine naked selves up and down my buddies' dicks. AMAZING!
We were chillin' at the beach on the best day of the year and the girls were lookin' fantastic man. I could tell by the way everyone was acting that we all couldn't wait to get back to my place where things could get really wild. Four girls and ALL o...
I used to work security at a hotel. I get a noise complaint from some guests upstairs. I check it out and find the three hottest chicks on the planet going wild in their room! They've got a camera and everything! They must have been crazy 'cause all ...
Last night we had a great party in a super hot club, so we decided to continue the party at my house. After some body shoots, the things started to get naughty, the two girls were very horny, finally we end up having the craziest sex ever, my friend ...

Monitor report: Charged with murder, Indian Army officer got passport, fled to US
A Monitor investigation finds that despite being wanted in India for the murder of a human rights lawyer in Kashmir, Maj. Avtar Singh was given a passport. He killed his family this June in the US.
Gosia Wozniacka/AP
When an immigrant in California this summer shot his wife, three children, and then himself, it left the small town of Selma, outside Fresno, searching for answers. The case quickly took on international importance – and raised more questions – when it emerged that the gunman, a former Indian Army major, was a fugitive from India, wanted for a wartime murder in Kashmir.
Newly released information reveals that the Indian government issued a passport used by the fugitive, Avtar Singh, to flee to Canada and eventually settle illegally in California. This was done despite an earlier Indian court order to prevent his leaving the country.
Mr. Singh was wanted by an Indian court to face charges for the 1996 murder of Jaleel Andrabi, a prominent human rights lawyer in Kashmir. Fearing Singh was a flight risk, the court in Kashmir ordered the Indian government in 1997 to impound or deny any passport for him.
How Singh had managed to flee has remained a mystery, one that is now partly answered. In response to a Right to Information request about when and where Singh obtained a passport, India's Ministry of External Affairs revealed late last month that a government passport office issued him the document in 2001.

I absolutely love this product! I got a sample size and I've never looked into the mirror and felt so sun kissed. My favorite look is tan skin and reddish/burnt cheeks. This by far does the trick. It makes my face lively and lifted. Im always smiling and this just lights me up. I do find that while i apply it, it removes the makeup underneath but i do not mind because that allows my few freckles that go across my nose and adds to the beachy look. Love this!!
This is a gorgeous coral stain on my (quite yellow toned) NC10-15 skin. Not overly orange or pink. It's easy to blend (I just tap it on with my fingertips), and is very pretty on both cheeks and lips. It's thicker in consistency than BeneTint, so I don't find it settles into the lines on my lips as badly. It wears like iron on the cheeks, and it pretty impressive on the lips too, without being drying. It's easy to wear subtly, or build up for more intense color.

You may see that I have previously reviewed the Benefit Coralista Blusher and said that it is more of a shimmer than a blush as the colour is very faint. Well... if you apply a small amount (less is definitely better) of cha cha tint to the back of your hand use a small blusher brush to pick up some product and dab this into the Coralista and apply to your cheeks, not only do you get the highlight but you get a gorgeous coral/peach colour blush which lasts all day. The other way is to use your fingers to smudge onto the apple of your cheeks and immediately apply Coralista (while it is still wet) and you get the same effect! I just worry that I would get the other everywhere this way!!
The good thing with Cha Cha tint is that you can also build it up and wear it on its own or for a more sun kissed look apply bronzer then use coralista over the cheeks!
I haven't tried as a lip tint but when I do, I will update my review!
I originally wanted a lipstain and I just so happen to get a sample size of the benetint in my ipsy glam bag. I was really happy about it but the benetint doesn't last long on the lips at all so I thought the cha cha tint would be similar. It's a pinky peach colour, really pretty on the lips. The formula isn't watery like the benetint so I think that is the reason why it stays on way longer. It looks creamy and if you leave it in on one spot to long it will stain the area its in. I quite like that factor about it. I also have the posie tint and it is also as great and same formula too.
Cha Cha Tint is a great color for me (NC15, brown eyes, reddish brown hair). It is pinky orange and lasts all day. You do need to work fast with it as it is a stain. My second favorite blush is MAC Something Special, however, it doesn't last as long as Cha Cha Tint.
I have ton of products from benefit , and I see those different kinds of tint every time I went to sephora but somehow I wasnt intrested in those and never tried them out... Yesterday when I was killing time in sephora, I walked to benefit section and was trying everything out there, and when I finally put the chachatint on my cheek. I'm lik OMG!!! I can't believe I never tried them!!!! It is kinda pricy, but I have to have it. So I grabbed one and wales to the cashier , but I found a better deal while waiting in line. Sephora has a deluxe sample set for all the tint (posietint, sunbeam,chachatint). It's 0.13 oz of each and it's $17. The regular bottle is 0.42 oz , for $30. If you do some math. Buy 4 of the sample sets, U get 0.52oz of each tint for $68, if u buy full size it's gonna be $90. And you only get 0.42oz per bottle. So after I got home and I get on my phone ordered another 3 packs of the sets. Lol!!!!

I've heard things about Benetint from my friends and I was so excited to get it! So the other day, I went to Ulta to sample Benetint, Posietint, and Cha Cha tint. I didn't think much about Posietint and Cha cha tint, but Benetint barely showed up on my skin. I'm a very tan Asian, and Cha Cha tint was the only one that looked great and bright. The lady at the counter recomended me to try Cha Cha tint or Benetint, but "you should definitely get the coral one" (as in Cha Cha Tint). Of course, I picked up Cha Cha Tint. I am proud to say -I love it! It stays on all day, on both my cheeks and lips and looks so natural! Although it is a little pricey, it is definitely worth it. Therefore, I will repurchase.

I don't know about "stain..." Compared to others I've tried and BeneTint original, this is more of a long-wearing liquid base.
If you've read any of my other reviews, you know I am an orange person, and I bought this after trying on my hand in Sephora and being very excited about the color. It looked just like the rosier places on my hand, which is what I look for in a staple blush.
I think it may be best for me in winter, as right now I have the good old summer burntan, and this delicate shade is lost on my face. I am probably a full on Medium level right now, but I go beyond the pale (ha!) when the Alabama November monsoon season hits and lasts until March.
This color is really nice, IMO, for apricot redheads or those pretending to be apricot redheads (and copper heads, henna heads or those with freckles, for that matter). Those hair and skin combos can be hard to compliment in a natural way without looking sunburned or feverish. I find, from my on-hand experience in the store, that it layered nicely under sheer powder and a little pop of a brighter powder blush or highlighter. I'm telling y'all, my hand was gorgeous! I've used BeneTint in more ash blonde-haired days the same way, and I think Cha Cha is a nice alternative if the deep red rose pink is not for you.
OMG!!!! HOLY GRAIL of BLUSH STAINS OVER HERE!!!
if you have NC30 skin like I do OH MY GOODNESS... this product will make you look alive and feel so pretty. It's this perfect coral peach flush that looks so natural. I get so many compliments wearing this stain... like I just had a really good workout flush.
I have dry skin so this is amazing because unlike powder blushes this makes me look youthful and bright and NOT at all dry/flaky/cakey. You just have to work fast with this product because it does sink into your skin very quickly.... so blend fast and blend well =)
I used to love benetint but this has just been bumped into the #1 spot in my books!

This little bottle is expensive, but sephora has a good deal for the deluxe sample size, which is much more affordable. This tint is punchy, but goes on sheer so you can layer it for color. It will however stain your fingers. I like the peachy tone better than posietint. Once on the cheeks, it simply glows. One thing that surprised me was that it is not a matte stain. I do not know where I got the idea that it would be matte, but I was expecting something a little more shine free. No matter, this is still a lovely product.

After switching over my summer wardrobe to fall last month, I realized my shoe closet could use a little reBOOT (if you catch my drift). So with the help of ECCO and StyleBistro, I got just what I needed…

Time To Sparkle
If Hedi says jump, you jump…in knee-high Saint Laurent glitter boots.
It's A Two-Fer!
When is two better than one? When you get TWO for the price of ONE (AKA the two-fer). Whether it's convertible clothing or one piece that looks like two — this idea of "two-fer" dressing seems to be having a moment.
Getting Comfortable
When it comes to getting dressed, comfort wasn't always my number one priority. I thought "anything for fashion," "I don't care how high the heel," and "I know it's not my size but it's 50% off so I'll take it." And one day it just clicked. Maybe I can still look put together without faking my way to five inches taller and in pants that make sitting down a daunting task. With trends like boyfriend jeans, oversized everything and flat shoes, it's clear that designers are on the same page. So, THANK YOU FASHION. My feet are forever grateful.
The Perfect Winter Combination
I admit, for many years (6 to be exact) Uggs were my go-to winter boots. Yes, I know you may be thinking to yourself "and she calls herself a fashion expert?" We all make fashion mistakes and I apologize for this one. Hey at least I'm honest, right?
Although that nice shearling interior might seem cozy, when you're trekking through snow and slush these boots are bound to get soaked…which they did…leaving my feet cold, wet and sad. So why did I continue to buy them for so many years? This question remains unanswered.
In Chicago, we're all about practicality when it comes to fashion but I think this is a combination everyone can benefit from (except if you're in LA, then you can continue wearing your flip flops in December and we'll all hate you for it).

Good board but had to replace.
This was the first board I started learning on. I have a size 11.5 foot so I need a wider board. It snaked well and stomped off little jumps with good balance. I couldn't really steer to well because it was so damn wide, LOL! I upgraded to a diff board but this one still stays in the fam for my big footed buddies that don't have any equip. Board safe homies!

Well I'll be jiggered! Ever wondered how much of which liquor to pour into a drink? Some bartenders just seem to have a magical talent for this; well, that and years of practice. With the Kikkerland Cube, you can not only pour like a pro, but you can look stylishly clever as you do it! The little cube by designer Josh Owen is made out of aluminum and is marked at different points so you get the perfect measurements.
"The design of the Aluminum Cube Jigger evolved from an experiment to compress the six most common liquid measures used to mix alcoholic drinks, into the smallest possible dispenser," Owen said of his gadget. "The form was inspired by traditional box-shaped, Japanese sake cups, from which sake is sipped from the corners."
Kikkerland is Dutch for "frog land" which is another nickname for The Netherlands.

Anne Stoefen of Hudson, Wis., was a special inauguration guest.
WASHINGTON, DC. -- Anne Stoefen boarded a jet home to Minneapolis early Wednesday, exhausted and giddy. Like many other visitors to the inauguration, she wore a button that said, "I was there." But Stoefen means it. Really, really means it.
The Hudson, Wis., resident was one of 41 people from across the country to be the invited guests of the Obama family, starting last weekend. She and her father and three sisters rode the inauguration train with President Obama and his family, stood near the Capitol during the oath of office and danced alongside the Obamas at their first inaugural ball.
"It was just an unbelievable experience," she said.
The trip brought feelings of both "excitement and sadness," said the 32-year-old Minneapolis VA hospital nurse. "A whole lot of emotions rolled into one."
Her mother, Beth Wehrman, was one of Obama's earliest supporters. Wehrman died of pancreatic cancer Oct. 14 -- hours after casting an absentee ballot for Obama.
A registered nurse, Wehrman, of LeClaire, Iowa, had met Obama several years ago. She had worked with HIV patients and founded a non-profit drug needle exchange program just across the border in Illinois. She campaigned for Obama through much of the exhaustion and nausea of her illness.
"She really, really believed in him," Stoefen said. Obama's presidency "was something my mom really wanted to see."
Obama had been in touch with Wehrman's family during her illness. On Saturday, when they saw the Obamas on the train, their emotions poured out. Michelle Obama got teary with them, Stoefen said.
Later, Michelle Obama personally served passengers her birthday cake -- chocolate with cream cheese frosting.
"She did not cut, like, these weenie little pieces." Stoefen smiled. "They were, like, big chunks of cake."
Someone asked Michelle if she was going to eat some and she said no, because she had to fit into her ball gown, Stoefen said.
Tuesday night, Stoefen and her sisters accompanied their dad to the Neighborhood Ball, the first stop for the new president and First Lady. After the Obamas danced, he called the special guests to the stage. The president gave Stoefen and others a kiss on the cheek.
"'OK, everybody, let's dance,''' Stoefen said the president told them. Soon, they were all swaying to "Signed, Sealed, Delivered."
"He was getting down," she said.
When Stoefen got home Wednesday, she showed her husband and 7-year-old twins her photos. And she danced to "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" with the children.
"You know, I'm still pinching myself," she said.

I'm looking for seeds of Posoqueria longiflora (Needle Flower plant). I'm willing to buy them or if you would like we can also trade. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Tolip, I've been looking for this too, for quite some time, so if you find seeds let me know please!! There is a nursery in hawaii that sells seedlings of it on ebay but I guess the trip to greece was too much for them and they eventually died.. The problem is he sends them bareroot and rather smallish, but if you are in the us I guess they would arrive sooner and have better chances..There is another nursery in hawaii that sends plants in some kind of coco stuff and they have no problem with transport in fact my tabernaemontana africana is theirs and it is one of my most rewarding plants..unfortunately they don't carry the variety of the previous nursery.. |
Logee's sells this for 25 bucks in their Nov special. I'm very curious about its smell. So if anyone thinks the scent of this plant worth it and very strong, let me know. |
Funny, this was moving to the top of my lust list, too! Would love to hear from any growers as well. |
FYI, I took the plunge and ordered it from Logee's. It'll be some time before I can promise anyone seeds, but if it blooms I'll be sure to report back! |
Jim, If you can please take pic of your plant once it's arrived. I want to know how tall it is. Thanks. |
