Wandering eastward across southern Africa from Zambia into Malawi, lush tropical fields waver in warm afternoon breezes.
Wary natives greet me with mild suspicion, wondering about this strangely-dressed foreigner's intentions--am I there to convert them to a new religion, to kill them or feed them?
As usual, curiosity prevails amongst the youngest.
With English spoken as a first language, communication everywhere was easy. After selecting a dirt road entering the forest leading toward the mighty Lake Malawi, I sought refuge for the night.
Villagers seldom refuse a stranger shelter for the night
But there are always questions first. Who am I? Where do I come from? And why am I there.
After explaining that I've come a long ways to meet them and to learn from them, the mood changes.
Relaxing along magnificent Lake Malawi for a few days was the perfect way to recuperate and study maps revealing the route north into Tanzania.
An elongated body of water covering half of the country, life centers around gigantic Lake Malawi for fishing and maintaining surrounding rubber tree plantations. A long tiring day ended at the edge of darkening blue waters lapping at pebbled beach coves. Ringed by simple huts hidden in shaded forests, this scene has likely not changed for a thousand years. Camping in native villages evolves into a deeper experience as the lives of locals unfold. Crowded and lively, after sundown every hundred yards another group of laughing youngsters kicked up dust as they practiced singing and dancing for upcoming tribal festivals. If lacking a drum, they clapped in encouraging beats as performers in the middle shimmied and pranced to chanted rhythms. Wandering through the smoke clouded village, fire lights and a full moon reflected off shiny black faces flashing dazzling white teeth. While passing in between huts made of simple material, teenage natives grabbed my arms, guiding me into their circles to see the clumsy white man flail.
At dawn, with a last glimpse backward at an east African sunrise scene to be remembered, I bid farewell to new friends who I will never see again.
love what you do

With its sharp rise in socioeconomic status from Malawi, eastern Tanzanian countryside became a worthy distraction bursting alive in vivid natural colors and wild animal life. From a half-mile away, women were easily visible, reflecting sunlight off soft cotton fabrics of brilliant ruby reds and dandelion yellows coming into focus from distant blurs across the canvas of African savanna earth-tones.
With dozens of major game parks throughout Africa, all prohibit motorcycles except Mikumi, the only one with a highway passing through.
In a scene out of Star Wars, silhouetted against the pale blue glow of an early sunrise sky, towering, long-necked giraffes paused to consider the intruder. Once violating their safety zone, a half dozen magnificent spotted beasts casually stepped across the meadow into graceful slow-motion strides, vanishing into forests of Camel Thorn Trees.
Animals accustomed to the rolling thunder of speeding diesel rigs panic at the sight of any slowing vehicle. Even when cutting the engine to coast in silence, herds of grazing gazelles with sweptback corkscrew horns immediately bolted in methodic sprints for the security of faraway tree-lines.
With hairless pink butts thrust high in the air, roving families of arrogant baboons sauntered fearlessly back and forth across the road. Roguish creatures known for unpredictable behavior, they are a force to reckon with. Sinister dog-like faces baring sharp curved fangs confirmed warnings that close-up encounters could go either way.
Curious, black and white striped zebras grazed in nearby fields but always at safe distances, warily eying a two-legged trespasser on a shiny rumbling machine. After spooked into short dusty gallops, they stopped to return my gawking amazement.
Every hundred yards, more wildlife scenes commanded a halt, yielding either to trumpeting bull elephants trampling highway shoulder grasslands or wondering at the groan and growling from within quivering underbrush.
Back in the cities.
Nearing the eastern coast, traditional Islamic garb replaced Western pants and button down shirts for all but Africas most noble tribesmen.
Evidence of past invading cultures contrasts with traditional Masai, erect in royal postures clutching trademark long-handle herding sticks. Tall and thin with beanpole legs sprouting from beneath baggy Roman-style tunics, these princely, jungle warriors now contend with tourism and twenty-first century technology while battling to survive government relocation plans.
Between pressing cellular telephones against gaping, pierced earlobes and controlling vast herds of cattle, they hold an eye to maximize any circumstance.
All my suspicions are confirmedthis mighty landmass is more a separate universe than just another continent. With a day left before Christmas, a mesmerizing plunge into Africa continues in an evolving alternate saga a million years old.

December 24, 2005
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
After visiting a few mostly white enclaves and small African towns, Dar es Salaam was my first predominately-black, major city heading north. Aside from decaying old European-era buildings, because there is not much to see, the drab capital of Tanzania serves mainly as a commercial center and transit point for tourists visiting the offshore islands of Zanzibar.
A small contingent of foreign aid workers and businessmen are hardly noticed alongside African born Indians busy managing hotels and stores. From dusty, congested street-markets to grimy corner cafés, Dar es Salaam has become pure African with little Western influence and no Western franchises. In matters of race, its a reversal of roles now being a minority judged by a suspicious majority.
But passive Tanzanians lead simple lives and dont require overbearing authority to keep order. Except for scattered unarmed men in worn-out, blue polyester uniforms directing traffic, its hard to find a cop.
With rougher edges than villagers, city folk are always harder to approach, but even when idle young men stand staring from street corners, most are happy to talk if acknowledged properly. Swahili was easier to learn than I first thought and like everywhere, greeting in native language buys instant acceptance and conversation. Jambo! Haguri gani? Jina langu ni Glen. Nimekuja kutoka amerce kuku tembelea Hello, how are you? My name is Glen and Ive come from America to visit you.
By five oclock, I had made my first Tanzanian friend, a tall, heavy-set motorcyclist, who, although a third generation Indian, considers himself African. Preparing to meet his family for dinner, the unshaven Ali Hussein was closing his motorcycle workshop when struck with an unexpected vagabonds wish-list for repairs. Shiite Muslims are strict family men and staying late to work on some distressed foreigners faltering bike was the last thing on his mind. But once hearing my situation, he offered, Since you are traveling such a long way, me and my men will work tonight. But wrenching in the dark leads to errors and lost parts so we agreed to wait until sunrise.
In the morning, uncomfortable with his non-English speaking crew, when an overly concerned Ali Hussein suggested disassembling the entire drive section for inspection and cleaning, I argued that the rest of the motorcycle was fine and all that was necessary was to unbolt the rear swing arm to replace a worn chain and sprocketsa one-hour job with the correct tools. Fluent in Swahili, Hussein turned, yelling words to his men that made them laugh aloud.
Curious as to the joke, I asked, Whats so funny?
I told them that you are afraid of their skin.
Embarrassed because he was right, I tried to deny it, No thats not it, I just prefer not to take things apart unless absolutely necessary. You never know what can break or get misplaced in the process.Still, the truth was, I foolishly questioned their competency because they werent Germans in white smocks.
You worry that they wont remember how to put it all back together?--more comments and more laughter.
But Hussein is forceful and to my dismay, wins our debate, directing two young black men with callused feet, to disassemble the suspension mechanical arms for further inspection.
An hour later they handed me two sets of rusted bearingsthe same ones we had just replaced in Borneo.
After riding the washed-away coast near Banda Aceh, saltwater from low-tide beach-runs had leaked past protective rubber seals, corroding hardened steal balls and needles designed to spin free. Had this damage gone unnoticed, they would have disintegrated and left me stranded on the most rugged section ahead in Africa.
Hussein continued, See, you dont have to worry about my workers, they know their job. Thirty minutes later, a winded errand boy returned with new bearings and fresh oil while another prepared a homemade arc welder to remove a stripped-out drain plug.
Annoyed at my constantly questioning each maneuver, Hussein takes me by the arm, Come, lets get out of their way so they can make everything new for our traveling brother. You need to see my empire
Importing a dozen shipping containers a month, except for South Africa, Ali is the largest motorcycle parts distributor on the continent. This will be good news for Internet linked international riders who until now, have been unaware of his presence. In a Developing Country with limited industrial base, I am amazed to see a warehouse stocked with hundreds of tires and engine re-build kits. Yet skilled labor remained questionable.
A one-hour chain and sprocket swap had turned into eight with a lengthy list of replaced parts, but by the end of the day, a minor job turned major repair was complete. Preparing for the worst, my meek request for the bill was met by Husseins stern gaze. There is no bill for you. My shop is absorbing the entire cost for our traveling brother.
And he wasnt listening to steady objectionseven when insisting that I at least pay for parts only made him angry. I have made up my mind, this is between Allah and me.
Convinced of his determination, I made a final demand. Okay but Im taking you to dinner.
Every big city has good restaurants but for travelers to find them unassisted requires extensive exploring with more misses than hits. Hussein knows of the best, where only black Africans go to eat. In north Dar es Salaam, an empty block normally jammed in daytime traffic becomes a nighttime bazaar of street barbeque kitchens and temporary dining rooms of uneven wooden tables and flimsy plastic chairs. Hussein is well-known among crowds of jabbering patronseven cooks and waiters shouted back and forth as we approached.
At first, ordering food was awkward as he issued commands to the cook without asking me what I wanted. With fierce expressions and aggressive verbal exchanges, both men dickered as though in serious confrontation about to turn violent. Suddenly, each was laughing and clasping hands while shirtless waiters in baggy shorts set down huge platters of sizzling lamb and chicken. Hussein translates. I told them that this is my motorcycling brother who knows Judo and if the food is not good, he will kick your ass. When the bill arrived for far more than two men could eat and drink, the scribbled numbers on a piece of torn paper only amounted to a fraction of a tourist area price.
Two days accompanying Hussein on his daily rounds of slapping countertops while shouting negotiations ending in laughter, was a fascinating side-journey into the business culture of Dar es Salaam. Even the briefest glimpses into the lives of those in distant lands are the ultimate prize of adventure travel.
But the sourest moment of this unforeseen detour neared and after reminding Hussein of the sacred coin he promised, the time had come to say goodbye. As he closed his eyes reciting an ancient Shiite prayer, a hundred-shilling Tanzanian coin carefully folded in a printed handkerchief became a belief from the both of us that continued safety lay ahead. When you reach Ethiopia, you must stop and give this coin to a poor man and Allah will guide you the rest of the way. As he shuffled his feet while looking down, I noted that Hussein also disliked goodbyes. With two sets of watery eyes, we touched cheeks Muslim-style with an enormous American bear hug. Tomorrow is Christmas and a long ride toward the northern plains of Serengeti.

Farmers Diner | (Tod) Murphy's Law: Buy Local, Eat Local, and Prosper
But it's hard to keep a good idea down. Early last fall, The Farmers Diner reopened, half a mile east of Quechee Gorge on Route 4. It's a different world from downtown Barre, where the diner sat next to an Aubuchon hardware store. Here it's in a rusticated, tourist-cutesy strip mall, complete with a toy locomotive that kids can ride in an endless circle. Whereas there used to be cops at the counter, here you'll more likely find vacationers, which means you can charge a little more. Not a lot — but a burger might run you $8.50, not $6.50.
It's bigger, too — there are 120 seats, plus room for 40 more people outside in the summertime. And the kitchen is much roomier. Now there's a machine that can take a sack of Vermont potatoes and turn them into a pile of French fries in just minutes. And that frees the cooks to do other things — like produce the homemade English muffins that have become the restaurant's new calling card.
Still, says Murphy, the diner remains too small to really make economic sense. What it needs are siblings: two or three more scattered around the state that he can serve from a central commissary kitchen in Quechee. The machine could be making French fries for all of the outlets, and the ad budget could be spread across three rooms full of munching patrons.
And, more to the point, the money that investors have put up to build these diners might come back with some profit attached. Plenty of communities across the state might welcome the idea: a Farmers Diner in Middlebury, in St. Johnsbury, in Bennington.
But of course this is the line of thinking that led to McDonald's. Once upon a time, it was a single restaurant, too, with a small machine to cut French fries. But the more restaurants the company opened, the higher the returns, so it just kept growing. Now the chain's manufacturing plants peel, slice, and freeze two million pounds of spuds a day. If you follow the logic of economies of scale, that's where you end up — as far from local food as it's possible to be.
Which is why, Murphy says, he's got different ideas for expansion. The business model calls for growth by regions — "pods," he calls them. Already, he says, investors in the Boston area are keen to open outlets there. Maybe they'd have five or six, served by their own central commissary kitchen. Probably they'd serve some different things: clam rolls, maybe.
In fact, if Murphy's scheme really works, there might be Farmers Diners across the country someday — each one buying food from farmers in a close radius around the city, creating new opportunities for local farmers, and serving local tastes. You'd get the economies of scale that come from standardization: Murphy can wax poetic about "modular buildout," or about the fact that the walk-in refrigerator at every Crab House restaurant in America is laid in out in exactly the same way, so that managers can move easily from one to the next. But you'd still be local.
Even if Murphy can get the scale right for his operation, though, it's not clear he can make it mesh with the scale of the local farmers he set out to try to help. Consider, for instance, the pig.
When the first Farmers Diner opened in Barre, it needed bacon — you can't have a diner without bacon. The problem was that no one was producing pork commercially in Vermont. Fifty years ago, sure — every farm had a few hogs growing fat on leftover milk from the dairy herd. But as agriculture became a commodity business — as dairy producers concentrated on cows, and pork producers on pigs — that changed. Vermont dairies became fewer in number and much, much bigger, and in other parts of the nation the same thing happened with hogs.
According to Brian Halweil in his book Eat Here, for instance, there's a hog farm in Utah with 1.5 million pigs. That's absurd — they produce more solid waste each day than the entire city of Los Angeles. It's also cheap — so cheap that it sets the psychological price for a pound of bacon pretty low.

Having a baby is a miraculous time, and while we all like to think about the smooth-sailing births the reality is they aren't all like that. I had a healthy reminder today of the fragility of life and birth when reading Sherry's birth story over on Young House Love. Thanks to brave Sherry for writing such a powerful post…I hope it brings healing and peace! What a scary day for her family, but what a blessing and miracle they all came out healthy and happy. Head over to Young House Love for a great read–but get ready to shed a few tears as well.

The Clemente Course was founded in 1995 by nationally acclaimed writer and activist, Earl Shorris, who believes that studying the humanities will re-connect marginalized citizens to their communities and that as a result, they will become more civically engaged, proactive members of their communities. Students seeking admission should be low income, over 17 years old, and able to read a newspaper in English. Students who complete the Course in good standing will receive 6 transferable credits from Bard College in New York.
Since its inception, the Clemente Course has been replicated world wide, from Mayan Villages in Mexico to Internally Displaced Persons camps in Darfur. The focus of each course is the intellectual foundation of its own culture, although there are some classic texts read by all Clemente students.

Geosynthetics in Covers Over Soft Mine Tailings: Mine Closure or Access to Groundwater
Posted in brandy, Oil sands, Reclamation, Software, Tailings, tagged access roads, analysis, covers, desing, Directive 74, ERCB, FLAC, geosynthetics, PLEXIS, soft tailings on January 16, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Geosynthetics have been used in constructing covers and access roads over soft tailings at the Cannon Mine, Wenatchee, at impoundments at Wismut, and most recently at Pond 5 at the Suncor oil sands tailings mine in Alberta. We are currently evaluating similar technical procedures for a mine in Chile where we will build access roads over the soft tailings to enable big rigs to go to install deep wells to recover groundwater from beneath the impoundment to augment water supplies in a desert.

DURHAM, N.H. – Ashley Crook (South Burlington, Vt.) scored a career-high four goals – and both Michaela Hardy (Reading, Mass.) and Shaunna Kaplan (Framingham, Mass.) tallied three goals and an assist – to propel the University of New Hampshire women's lacrosse team to Wednesday afternoon's 16-7 non-conference victory against the College of the Holy Cross at Memorial Field.
UNH improved to 1-1 overall in 2008 and 13-2 lifetime against Holy Cross while the Crusaders fell to 0-3 on the season.
Ashley Durepo (Concord, N.H.), Moira Talbot (Marblehead, Mass.) and Sarah Von Bargen (East Setauket, N.Y.) all recorded two goals and an assist for the Wildcats, who had a total of six multiple-goal scorers. For Kaplan, the three goals and four points matched career highs.
UNH goalkeeper Ashley Milley (Sudbury, Mass.) was credited with six saves, five of which came in the first half as the Wildcats tallied a 15-11 shot advantage in the first half and a 24-4 edge in the second for an overall 39-15 shot advantage. HC goalie Amy Martin stopped 14 shots and had a team-high four ground balls.
The 'Cats raced out to a 4-0 first-half lead. Kaplan opened the scoring one minute into the game with a free-position goal, then Talbot netted an unassisted goal at 25:16. Kaplan, with the assistance of Durepo, struck again at 24:07 and then Talbot set up Durepo's tally at 19:54.
Holy Cross scored four of the next five goals to pull within 5-4. Ali Baird (goal, assist) put the visitors into the scoring column at 17:01 and Nikki Bolduc (two goals; four caused turnovers) trimmed the deficit to 4-2 at 15:07.
Hardy's first tally of the game extended the cushion to three goals at 13:41, and Allie Duclos (South Windsor, Conn.) was credited with an assist for her first career point.
Bolduc scored a free-position goal at 8:42 and Meg O'Leary's unassisted tally pulled the Crusaders within 5-4 at 6:15.
Crook, off a feed from Von Bargen, gave the 'Cats a 6-4 advantage at 5:09 and Megan Fenton (goal, assist) closed the first-half scoring with a strike at 2:36.
UNH controlled possession through most of the second half on the strength of a 11-2 edge in draw controls – the 'Cats tallied a 21-4 overall advantage in that stat with Duclos tallying seven. Durepo's second goal of the game – directly off a free position – opened the second-half scoring at 27:18 to give the home team a 7-5 lead.
Neither team scored for nearly 10 minutes, then New Hampshire scored five goals in as many minutes to quickly build a 12-5 advantage. Talbot, off Kaplan's pass, potted her fifth goal of the season at 16:36 to ignite the run. Crook scored at 14:19, then Hardy struck one minute later to give the 'Cats a 10-5 lead. Von Bargen, who also netted two goals in the season opener, scored consecutive goals at 12:34 and 11:46.
UNH continued to pull away by scoring three goals within 41 seconds. Hardy extended the cushion to 13-5 at 9:51 and then set up Kaplan's tally; Crook's third goal gave the 'Cats a double-digit lead of 15-5.
Katie Gardner ended the Wildcats' run of nine consecutive goals at 6:43. Crook potted the last of her four goals at 2:45 and Kaitlin Nangle closed the game scoring with 50 second remaining.
In addition to scoring four goals, Crook led UNH in both ground balls (four) and caused turnovers (three).
New Hampshire returns to action March 2 at home against intrastate rival and 20th-ranked Dartmouth College. Game time at Memorial Field is 1 p.m.

Unique Circular Residence on the Coast of Japan: Villa Ronde
Villa Ronde is an impressive green-roofed residence designed by company Ciel Rouge and located in Japan. The round shape of this luxurious crib was chosen in order to take full advantage of the surrounding views. According to the architects, the residence "is thought as a wide free organic space in which rooms can be closed or in continuity to each other around a patio. The round shape is the best to cover the beautiful view around as well as to resist and glide in the strong typhoons winds. The building itself seems to grow from an hill in which air system circulate to ventilate permanently the house. Everything is thought for the best thermal natural ratio with a double facade for protecting from winds and sun, as well as the roof is covered by one foot of soil including a watering system". Villa Ronde features an impressive swimming pool, a private museum, a beautiful terrace and a large guest area. Impressed?

i'm Impresse
extraordinary your design
i will visit later to see new article your design
I wonder if this is still fine after earthquakes? if you are going to use a seaside house in Japan, I think you owe it to the subject to at least address the possibility, or at least mention the great disaster in Japan, the country that brought you this masterpiece for your blog pics.
We have a circular residence in my neighbourhood, it is a complete circle and is undergoing renos, they put another storey on top. I would love to see the inside. I remember when it went on sale it got snapped up immediately(wish I had the money then!!).
Love the light and fantastic views in this home overlooking the ocean. The one you show is definitely out of this world and probably very pricey too. Circular structures always cost a pretty penny.Publisher, familyfirepit.com

Feast of St. Rose of Lima
Posted by Supertradmum
Today is the Feast of St. Rose of Lima. She is one of those rare saints who was canonized within the living memory of many who knew her. She died in 1617 and was canonized in 1671.
Today is special to me as Rose of Lima is my Confirmation name and she is one of my personal patrons.
(Supertradmum-Rose of Lima; lol)
This week in August marks one of my favourite times of the year. I love St Bernard of Clairvaux, and of course, St. Pius X. Today is Rose's day and yesterday, we honoured Our Lady as Queen. Within the week, we celebrate SS. Monica and Augustine. We shall also see the feasts of the Beheading of John the Baptist, SS. Margaret Clitherow, Anne Line and Margaret Ward by the end of next week celebrated.
And, there are more. August is a month of great saints. Let us rejoice and be glad.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
sorry for starting a new thread ... i accidently (and deservedly so)
deleted all the relevant e-mails from the original thread.
anyway, jumping way late into this already beaten dead horse, i'd just
like to point out that ISO does not even qualify as an acronym to be
pluralized in the context in whichit's being discuessed here.
ISO is a tech-ism, and sort of like calling a Cheverolet a Chevy, ISO is
short for _ISO 9660 image file_ or something to that effect. and you have to
acknowldege that the plural of the forshortaned name is sort of a double
grammatical folly.
here's an example:
The military police arrested me.
The MPs arrested me.
(or MP's or M.P.s if you buy into anybody's "it's okay
to be grammatically sloppy as long as it looks right" arguments)
Just like in the above example, the plural is actually misleading. there
is no such thing as MPs, because what you mean is an implied _military
police officers_ or something similar. but you also wouldn't write: The
MP arrested me and leave it up to the reader to imply the pluarlity.
the plural on the ISO is implied, which is why i think the ISOs vs ISO's
is moot. ISOs is closer to correct, but Pete gave the most correct answer
in his first e-mail...
I have six ISO images or
I have six ISO image files.

The present interest in global climate change makes any information about Earth's climate history valuable for modeling purposes. Thick Antarctic ice sheets provide one of the best records for past climate change, so a great effort has been made to collect ice cores from some of the oldest and deepest parts of the ice sheet. The only area where an ice core capable of providing a long, annual history of Southern Hemisphere climate exists is in the interior of West Antarctica, where compressed snow layers are thick enough to allow absolute dating.
- Snow is a valuable storehouse of information to a glaciologist.
- When a snowflake falls, it brings with it important details about the atmosphere at the time it was formed.
- As it is slowly compacted and recrystallized by subsequent snowfalls, it forms a historical record.
Ice core researchers in the United States are analyzing two ice cores, one from Siple Dome, Antarctica, and one from upslope of Byrd Station in West Antarctica. The two cores, one far inland, and one near the coast, complement each other and allow scientists to discriminate between local and regional influences on the climate records recovered from the cores. The Siple Dome core comes from the Siple Coast region of Antarctica and is situated on a dome of ice that is a thousand meters in thickness and is expected to contain ice that is up to a hundred thousand years old.
Scientists expect to be able to use the results from West Antarctic Ice Core Projects to better understand the relationship between atmospheric carbon dioxide and temperature. They also expect to learn more about the influence of the West Antarctic ice sheet on sea level and the likelihood for unexpected rapid changes in sea level. Finally, they will be able to observe and record the influence of southern ocean and atmospheric circulation patterns on past climates.
- Ice cores can reveal patterns of mean air temperature, evidence of major volcanic eruptions and, by analysis of the air trapped in ice bubbles, data on the composition of the atmosphere.
- Scientists still disagree about the effects of the present increase in carbon dioxide, therefore, the historical record from ice cores is of considerable significance.
- The data so far indicate that there has been a 30% increase in the concentrations of carbon dioxide since the last Ice Age.
- Analysis of the ice core particles will show if they are volcanic in origin or come from dust storms associated with more arid conditions.
- Virtually all life native to Antarctica is supported by the food-rich sea surrounding the continent.
- All are dependent upon each other as parts of a continuing food chain, beginning with phytoplankton (algae, particularly diatoms) and zooplankton (including krill) and extending through the fishes, squid, octopus, sea birds (including penguins), and the large marine mammals (whales, porpoises, and seals).

No weekend promo, but save big on your summer 'staycation' starting Monday
There are two pieces of news we're bringing to you today. One can make some of you a bit disappointed, but the other is just pure awesome and should provide ample compensation. We won't reveal the surprise completely, though, because being enigmatic is part of what we do. First off: we're not having a promotion this weekend.You know we won't leave it like that, right? That's where the awesome news comes in! Starting this Monday, June 20th, we're launching a special summer 'staycation' big savings event. What is the GOG.com 'staycation'? Big savings on what? What are the details? These are questions we can't answer just now. We don't want to reveal all at once, but we're sure many of you were waiting for this and will be happy about it. Let the speculation in comments begin and check back to GOG.com on Monday!

MAC Fashion Flower Lipstick Swatches, Photos, Reviews
MAC Summer Shower Lipstick
MAC Fashion Flower: Lipsticks
The collection features four shades of Lipstick (each $14.50 for 0.10 oz.) — Ever Hip (bright creamy coral), Growing Trend (mid-tone taupe nude), Mlle (light white pink), and Summer Shower (light aqua).
- Ever Hip is a pink-based coral with a creamy, slightly glossy finish. It's semi-opaque to opaque on lips, depending on how much you layer it. It has a cremesheen finish. MAC doesn't have a comparable permanent dupe to it, unfortunately.
- Growing Trend is a medium dark beige nude with a creamy finish. It has an amplified finish. It's a shade or two darker than Viva Glam Gaga 2 and has less peach (this almost looks a touch pink next to it).
- Mlle is a pale, blue-based light pink. It looks a little dry on lips (perhaps more like a frost finish, except it lacks the shimmer part of a frost), but it didn't feel drying. It has a glaze finish, and it is a repromote–but from many, many years ago. It seems like a paler version of Pink Plaid, cooler version of Creme Cup. This would work best on cooler skin tones.
- Summer Shower is very much a near-to-clear base with teal, fuchsia-purple, and white shimmer and sparkle. It's more of layering lip product than one you'd wear on its own (in general). I can't think of a permanent dupe for it. It has a glaze finish. This would work across skin tones.
my thoughts on the formula: MAC Lipsticks are vanilla-scented but taste-free. I typically get four hours of wear, but some of the lighter lustre and glaze finishes tend to disappear by hour three. Amplified cremes and amplified finishes, however, tend to go beyond four. I find the formula comfortable to wear and not drying (but not moisturizing–a couple of the matte shades can be drying).
The Glossover
MAC Fashion Flower Lipstick Swatches, Photos, Reviews
|Mlle doesn't look as flattering as worn as one would like--it has a drier look, even though the texture itself was smooth and applied evenly. Summer Shower looks fun in the tube but keep in mind it is more about the multi-colored reflective shimmer than the actual color!

"In the 'hood, you can get meat all day long," he said. "It may not be good meat, but it's there."
Shortly after a 2006 study labeled his community a food desert, Casey and a group of self-proclaimed food activists started working to correct that inequity.
Next month, their new grass-roots organization, Food Desert Action, will unveil a solution to the healthy food crisis — a renovated CTA bus transformed into a mobile produce stand.
The concept is simple, Casey said. If residents in poor neighborhoods can't make it to stores that carry healthy food, the Fresh Moves bus will bring produce to them.
"Eventually, we want to be just like the ice cream truck," Casey said. "Everyone remembers the music, they hear it and they know ice cream is there. When they see our bus, we want them to know fresh fruits and vegetables are here."
The idea of mobile produce stands to serve food deserts isn't new. There are mobile produce markets in Buffalo, N.Y.; Salt Lake City; and New Orleans, and legislation was recently approved in Trenton, N.J., to help further efforts there.
But Fresh Moves' commercial food bus is the first of its kind in Chicago, city officials said.
The idea was developed by four local residents who decided they couldn't wait for large retailers to serve troubled neighborhoods.
Rather than rely on residents to get to a market, Fresh Moves will deliver affordable, healthy food to their struggling communities block by block. And instead of focusing on profit, Fresh Moves' mission is to address the social issues that arise in communities where the food selection is abysmal.
"This is about reaching a vulnerable population," Casey said. "We are, hopefully, attacking the issue of food access and unemployment radically different."
A July 2006 study found that residents on Chicago's South and West sides had to travel twice as far to access grocery stores. Those communities are littered with fast-food restaurants with fatty, processed foods. According to the study, commissioned by LaSalle Bank, residents who live in food deserts are more likely to die prematurely and at greater rates from cancer, diabetes, heart disease and obesity.
When community and education activist Jeff Pinzino read about the report, its findings struck a nerve, he said. For years, he has pushed for improvements in education and for greater resources for troubled communities.
"If kids don't have healthy food, they can't concentrate in school," Pinzino said. "There are all kinds of studies that show the benefits of a healthy breakfast."
The food desert issue seemed like it could be solved, Pinzino said. He reached out to Casey and another healthy-food activist, Sheelah Muhammad, so they could brainstorm solutions.
Initially the group was going to open a corner-store-style vegetable stand. But that idea required too much upfront capital and access to a building and land, and the store wouldn't serve enough residents, Pinzino said.
Then they were struck by the idea of putting the grocery on wheels.
The bus will start its first route in the Austin and North Lawndale neighborhoods — among the most food-deprived communities, according to the 2006 study.

SOUTH AFRICA's reputation in science was severely tarnished during the international boycott by researchers, a new analysis shows. It reveals that between 1981 and 1993, when the nation's scientists were ostracised in protest against apartheid, many South African research reports were simply ignored in other countries.
The study is a "citation impact" analysis, which counts the number of times researchers around the world refer to specific scientific papers in their own work. In 16 fields of science and technology, the study found that South Africa's citation impacts were well below international averages.
In neurosciences, for example, the average international citation rate during the boycott was 12.56 citations per paper. During the same period, South African neuroscientists scored an average of only 5.4 citations per paper, 57 per cent below the mean. This figure was the worst of the 17 fields studied.
The citation rate for South African papers in computer ...

Cascabel Caramel Turtles
Monday, 26 May 2008
DescriptionThe word cascabel means rattle in Spanish and this full-flavored dried chile probably received its name due to its shape and the fact that its seeds rattle around when you shake it. These turtles are like no others you've tasted before, hot as well as sweet. This recipe is from the book Sweet Heat by Melissa Stock and Dave DeWitt, Ten Speed Press.
At a glance
Cooking Method
Heat Level
2 dozen
In a microwave safe mixing bowl, combine the caramels and whipped topping and cook on 50 percent power for 45 seconds. Remove the bowl, stir, and place back in the microwave. Continue this process in 10-second increments until the mixture has melted and is smooth and well blended. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Spray a cookie sheet lightly with the cooking oil. Place the pecan halves on the pan in groups of 3, arranged so that each pecan group forms a "Y" shape. These form the turtle's head and legs. Carefully spoon the caramel mixture over each, leaving the ends of the pecans showing. Set aside until the caramel has hardened.
Place the chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl. Cook in the microwave on 50 percent power for 45 seconds, remove and stir, and repeat the process in 10-second intervals until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in the cascabels and let the chocolate mixture to cool slightly.
Spoon the melted chocolate over the caramel, being careful not to cover the exposed ends of the pecans.
Set aside until hard, then store in a covered container in a cool place.

Johannesburg — Ugandan-registered Alliance Air, which is 40%-held by SAA, has welcomed Air Tanzania Corporation's announcement that it intends pulling out of their joint venture, saying it has been a constant hindrance to the airline.
Alliance Air executive director John Murray said from Kampala yesterday that Air Tanzania had a 10% holding in Alliance Air and its plans to divest this shareholding would not harm Alliance.
"In fact Uganda Airlines and Air Tanzania are in the process of privatisation and before this can take place they will in any event be compelled to divest their respective 10% shareholdings in Alliance Air. As far as we are concerned this is a normal process," he said.
The Tanzanian government and its airline have a total 30% holding in Alliance, while the Ugandan government and its airline own the remaining 30%.
Murray was reacting to reports yesterday that Air Tanzania Corporation had indicated it would pull out of the joint venture. Air Tanzania board chairman Abbas Sykes was quoted as saying Alliance was a loss-making venture and Air Tanzania could not afford to remain in it. He said Alliance was expected to lose a further $5m in the 1998/99 fiscal year.
Murray said yesterday that losses projected by Sykes were "pure speculation".
"We have been in deficit from day one due to normal start-up costs. We have now been fully operational for 18 months and should be profitable by the second half of next year."
He said Air Tanzania's decision to pull out of the venture could be a "blessing in disguise" because it had not been an effective partner. It had opposed everything done by Alliance and had acted in a manner contrary to the spirit of their joint agreement.
Murray said Alliance was setting up new routes to Dubai in August and would keep expanding. The takeover of Air Rwanda's operations earlier this year had gone well and these operations would be also be expanded next month. At present Alliance runs three main routes: Johannesburg- Kigali-Entebbe; Johannesburg-Dar es Salaam-Kampala-London; and London-
Kilimanjaro-Entebbe and back to London.
Murray said the prognosis for Alliance Air was good. Alliance, in partnership with SAA, was also bidding for the controlling stake in Uganda Airlines which was being privatised. Competing bidders were BA, Sabena and Air Mauritius, but he regarded BA as the most serious competitor.
Alliance Air was formed in 1995 when eight countries - Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Malawi, Burundi, Congo-Zaire, Rwanda and Zambia - signed an agreement endorsing a regional airline.
They wanted an airline which would serve all these countries in a cost-effective manner, reducing government involvement while still serving smaller markets.

Windows 10 Home vs Windows 10 Pro comparison: Here are the extra features you get in the Pro version
What Do They Hope To Gain By Getting Married?
Is there any monetary gain when homosexuals obtain the right to get married? Or is there some other gains that I know nothing about? In other words why do they want it so badly? Surely they should be content with things as they are now?
'Surely they should be content with things as they are now?'
What you mean they should be content with being treated like second class citizens? Content to have the government tell them that their love for another human being is inferior?
Content to be treated the way blacks used to be treated? Or content to be treated the way women used to be treated?
Don't bother trying to amswer those questions. But do, please, answer this one. What difference does it make to you if same sex couples are able to marry?
I think what he meant was to be content with civil partnerships as opposed to re writing the rules on marriage.
fm - you are putting words into other people's mouths once again.
Please stop.
Careful guys, the "homophobe police" will be here any time now!
From another post;- surely it should be:-
Who is the husband and who is the wife? since, in this case 'Who' is the object of the sentence rather than the object of 'husband' or 'wife' in which case it would be 'whom. ;-))
Getting my coat. :-0
It makes no difference to me whether they are married or single. If they want to live together, so be it. That's their decision. What I want to know is what is the difference? I am living "over the brush" as my parents would have called it and nobody thinks it is wrong. My children and my partner's children soon got used to the idea....I was married for many years and don't feel the least bit guilty about living over the brush. I can't see that many people would see any difference in a homosexual couple being married or living in a partnership as many of us heterosexuals do. I have a couple of friends who are homosexuals but they intend to remain single as far as I can tell. But I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to take a partner. But I can't see the need for them to have to get married just to be like heterosexuals.
csquared ... just testing!
I am all in favour of gay marriage. Why would anyone want it to be a sad or sombre occasion? However, I am totally opposed to the concept of same-sex "marriage". I am opposed to the changing of the meaning of words in the english language and believe that there should be a central authority to control the usage of words and the introduction of new ones, as occurs in Germany, for example. I do not oppose some form of ceremony for same-sex couples but don't call it marriage.
'I am living "over the brush" as my parents would have called it and nobody thinks it is wrong'
Are you sure? There are still people whose attitudes are so out of date that they regard two unmarried people living together as wrong.
Not nearly as many as there used to be. Attitudes change.
As you say, you have the freedom to choose whether to marry or not. Why should that choice be denied to one part of the population?
Many gay couples will stay as they are because that is what they want to do. But for those who want to make a public declaration of their love marriage is the only equal choice.
The government could have fudged the issue by allowing heterosexual civil partnerships so that people who feel that marriage carries the stigma of being associated with religion would have a way of being legally joined but did the right thing by saying marriage must be for all in an equal society.
This thread is now locked and can not be replied to.

Bread pudding is a classic dessert that has its origins in 13th century England as a way to use up yesterday's loaves. Inside Park at St Bart & James Beard House Featured chef Matthew Weingarten made this rich and flavorful dessert created by his pastry chef Miran Shim.
Serves 6
For the bread pudding:
6 ounces (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, plus more to grease the baking dish
1 ¼ cups milk, warmed
¾ cup granulated sugar
For the crème Anglaise:
8 egg yolks
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise and seeds scraped out
For the bourbon¬–caramel sauce:
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup water
1 tablespoon corn syrup
½ teaspoon lemon juice
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
¼ cup bourbon
For the mulberry topping:
½ cup dried mulberries
¼ cup triple sec
For the candied pecans:
1 cup whole pecans
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons honey
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the warm milk to the melted butter. Stir the sugar into the milk mixture until it dissolves, about 2-3 minutes. Lightly whisk the eggs together and then stir into the milk mixture, whisking constantly, making sure that the mixture is not hot enough to cook the eggs. Stir in vanilla extract and remove from heat.
Place the cubed bread in a large bowl, pour the custard over the cubes and gently toss. Allow the bread to sit at least three hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Transfer the bread mixture into a buttered baking dish and spread out evenly; do not pack down. Bake for 15 minutes until the top is golden brown; and then cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes more. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
To make the crème Anglaise, whisk the egg yolks with half of the sugar until the mixture is pale yellow and forms a ribbon when lifted with the wisk. Heat the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla bean and seeds together until little bubbles form on the side of the pot. Add about half of the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture a little at a time to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Then pour the egg-milk mixture into the pot of remaining milk and cook, stirring constantly until thickened, about 8 minutes. If the sauce seems to be getting too hot, remove from the heat for a moment and stir. The sauce is thick enough when it coats the back of a spoon. Immediately pour the mixture through a strainer into a bowl set in an ice bath to cool.
To make the bourbon–caramel sauce, combine the sugar, water, corn syrup, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until mahogany color. Turn off the heat and stir in the cubed butter. If the caramel gets hard, put it back on the heat until it becomes smooth again. Stir in the bourbon, set aside, and keep warm. If sauce is too thick when ready to serve, just add a warm water a tablespoon at a time to thin it out.
To make the mulberry topping, combine the dried mulberries and triple sec in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and allow mulberries to soak in the liquid until cool. The berries will soak up some of the extra juice and the extra juice is delicious spooned over the bread pudding.

The Plimpton library was formally presented to Columbia University in 1936 shortly before the donor's death. The collection of more than sixteen thousand volumes was assembled by George Arthur Plimpton, who served as a board member of the textbook publisher Ginn & Company, to show the development of "our tools of learning." He stated his notable purpose in the preface to his The Education of Shakespeare as "the privilege to get together the manuscripts and books which are more or less responsible for our present civilization, because they are the books from which the youth of many centuries have received their education." In general, the Plimpton Library may be described as an assemblage of notable treatises on the liberal arts, particularly grammar, rhetoric, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, geography, astronomy and handwriting. Represented in the Library are the forms of knowledge from the most rudimentary, the hornbook, to the most sublime heights reached in the writings of Aristotle, Donatus, Cicero, Boethius, Euclid, Ptolemy, Pliny and Petrus Lombardus. It is hardly surprising that one of the earliest items in the collection may be the most remarkable, a cuneiform clay tablet on which is written in Old Babylonian (1900-1600BCE) script a mathematical listing of Pythagorean triples.
The 317 medieval and renaissance manuscripts collected by George Plimpton form the largest such group in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library. Among these are manuscripts of texts by classical authors, antiphonals, early grammars, mathematical and philosophical treatises, and the writings of the church fathers. There is also a complete copy manuscript of Chaucer's A Treatise on the Astrolabe, written in England in the fifteenth century.
Association books are also found in the Plimpton library, for the collector was interested in why and how books were used, and who used them. Volumes once owned by notable humanists and scientists include: Sir Thomas More's copy of Euclid's Elements, 1516; Isaac Newton's copy of Vincent Wing's Harmonium coeleste, 1651. Among the nearly six hundred copybooks and handwriting manuals is one of the two recorded copies of the first edition of A Boke Containing Divers Sortes of Hands, 1570, by John De Beauchesne and John Baildon, the first handwriting book published in England. Plimpton's library does, indeed, represent the labor of a collector and the experience of a career, the blending of a vocation as publisher and an avocation as bibliophile and author.

The Great Book Scandals of 2012
January 4, 2013 | 11:00 pm
Books—staid and intellectual cultural artifacts that they so often are—were not all just staid or intellectual this year. Not nearly. There were, in fact, scandals, at least a few of them surrounding books and their authors and publishers, and there were times in which discussions of books and the business grew dramatic and tension-filled. Near-scandals!
Other times, these conversations were simply very, very interesting, full of twists and turns, much like a good book.
Remember when Philip Roth took on Wikipedia to clear up what he described as false perceptions of The Human Stain? (It was a big year for Philip Roth news altogether, really.) Or what about when Penguin sued authors for their advances, citing nondelivery of manuscripts, thereby breaking with the industry's long-standing tradition of, well, generally not suing authors for that? Then there was…
