Experimenting with Avant Garde Makeup
So i've been struggling to come up with an avant garde/creative/out there makeup look for an upcoming shoot. I don't know why the thought stressed me out so much. I'm used to doing bright and colorful looks, but for the most part they are wearable. I wanted to do something that was definitely out there...more like face art than typical makeup.
I decided to go for bright colors. I practiced on myself. Here's what I came up with:
Per the boyfriend's suggestion, I changed the look up a bit by differentiating the rhinestone shape and extending it out a bit. I also removed the contour lines from the nose.
Yikes, please ignore my crazy hair, this was filmed after 1am, lol.
After all that work, I completed a face chart which will be the final look.
I had a shoot for this but it was postponed, I'll definitely post real life pics when they're finally shot!
Till next time, Ciao Bellas!

Topic: refactoring long methods
I have an accounting application with a DocumentsController (and almost everything in it). In accounting there are many various things you need to do with the present documents, different sorts, different listings, different calculations, and they don't really fit into the REST scheme, as they are all index-like. So my question is, what is the best way to refactor these methods? Should I create a new controller for all of them, or should each method get a new controller with only index action implemented, or should they just stay in the DocumentsController?

Very good vanilla flavor
Posted by Reviewer1503868 on Oct 25, 2011
This is my favorite of the Sweetleaf drops I have tried so far. I use it in coffee and tea (especially good with a chai blend)and in plain yogurt. I find this one has less of an after-taste than some of the others.
Little flavor
Posted by SillaVanilla on Sep 07, 2013
In the beginning I had some issues getting the right amount of stevia in my drinks/yoghurts. Usually I can't taste it at all or it's too bitter. I've tried it in sparkling water, coffee and homemade orange soda. One drop can make a huge difference, so be careful. The vanilla drops don't really give much flavor, I also bought the toffee and it tastes much more. I see many people use it in water, so I'll have to try that.
Great flavour but does have after taste
Posted by southerninlaw on Feb 07, 2016
The flavour of this product is great, but be sure to use it sparingly as it does have a little bit of an aftertaste. As with any stevia product, you've got to find what works for you!
Very Sweet

I am not a sugar person but I purchased this for something extra with 0 carbohydrates and sugar - it is nice. Works well.

Topic: Two instances of an object w/ same name
Noob question... What happens to an object if another one is instantiated with the same name? I assume that it is 'overwritten' with the new object of the same name, but I have a class variable that's counting the number of instantiations. It doesn't keep track of this and says there are 2 instantiated objects rather than one (since they are the same name).
class Person
attr_accessor :first_name, :last_name, :age
def initialize(age=25)
@age = age
@@people = defined?(@@people) ? @@people += 1 : 1
def self.people
john = Person.new(age=22)
p john.inspect
p john.age
john = Person.new(age=27)
p john.inspect
p john.age
p Person.people.to_s + " have been instantiated."
------------- Output: -------------
"#<Person:0x283d20c @age=22>"
"#<Person:0x283d040 @age=27>"
"2 have been instantiated."
Probably not that important in practice, but I was just exploring and ran into a bit of a paradox with the class variable counting new objects even if they are of the same name (which isn't something you would normally do). But thought maybe there's another more fool-proof way of keeping track of instantiated objects? Maybe it's just a curiosity and not really important?

Would highly recommend Andy's autos ,,had injector cylinder fixed ,very honest person if I could give him 20 stars I would ,thanks Andy
Would highly recommend, polite, helpful and the repair and the communication was great. Customer focused. Thank you Richard.
Excellent customer service, was made to feel like a priority and the work was carried out the following day. Would definatly recommend and i will be a loyal customer for years to come.
Great friendly service, paid £10 extra for collection and delivery. Prompt service & kept me informed every step of the way via text phone & online chat. would definitely recommend to anyone.
Wonderful service. Picked up my car from my work. Speedy response, great communication. Would recommend. In fact going to book my car in for a service.
after I accepted the quote the number provide was not available after trying on numerous occasions it was clear the number is not in use, so I did not have the job done, the system should be updated appropriately.
Quick and very good job done. Looks brand new.
Please do not take your car here they are cow boys and do not know what they are doing I took my car in for a new dpf I got at topgear 930 they did not show up until 11 they said it would be done by 3.30 but did not get my car back until the next day and I think they have swapped parts on my car as it is making noises that it was not making before it went into topgear and when I went to pick it up it was 2 kids working on my bmw I just wish I never bought my car here so you have been warned
Turns out my brake pads were not worn so they just topped up the brake fluid for free and the problem gone. 5 star!!
Booked my car in today to get my clutch done. Arrived at 9.40 and they were closed. The phone number went straight to answer phone. Waited till 10 o'clock and left . Booked time off work and job not done. Absolutely disgusted terrible service and my time. Do not use this garage.
Great service! Done the same day, price as quoted, would recommend and would use services again!
An honest and friendly service was provided with aftercare. I will be returning if I require any further work and would recommend A1 to family and freinds. With Thanks!
Final price because flywheel needed replacing in the end. Thought they did a very good job and comes with a good amount of warranty on the parts. Would definitely recommend
Very polite people and good service. Final cost was more than the quote, but this included collection of my vehicle from my home and two mechanical parts, which was explained to me and requested my permission before work commenced. I have no hesitation in recommending A1 Clutch Centre, Birmingham.
They were helpful and friendly, and seemed to know what they doing. When they discovered something else needed doing, (surprise,suprise), they did phone me to ask permission before they did the work, so at least I knew the cost had increased before I went back to collect the car. Overall, I am satisfied with what they did, and everything seems good. As with most things where vehicles are concerned we are in the hands of the people who make a living fixing them when we have problems. If I was being robbed, (and I am not saying I was, but they always seem to find something else needs doing), at least these guys where polite and smiled. But I would definitely recommend them, as they were quick and efficient and did what they said they would do at a reasonable price.
Was sorted quickly, no problems whatsoever!
Brilliant service changed timing belt and water pump well pleased withe service. Thank you guys will use you again for all my car repairs. Thank you
I booked a full service and asked the mechanic to check the clutch. He gave me excellent and honest advice and did the service and clutch replacement in no time. My car is like new. One very satisfied customer.
Unfortunately didn't take my car in at the end.. However they had great customer service and really understanding
The guys at Creation are brilliant, honest and fast. The service was fast and the cars good as new, they even offered to change my cam belt and water pump at a really good price while they were changing the head gasket. Would definitely use them again, cheers lads.
New discs and pads fitted front Ford Fiesta.Great job in and out within 1hr many thanks.
Very honest guy!! You can see everything that they are doing!! They did a very good job and I'm very happy about !!
Yes. They are Skilled and Professional.
Very fast answer and repair. Recommended!
Did a good finding the fault, but i found the price abit steep, there was no diognostic involved, just finding out why my stereo wasnt working.
My car was serviced and MOT'd within 2 hours, no problems. Great !! Thanks very much Fast Fit. You live up to your name. Would recommend you to anyone.
No problems at all
Friendly guys. Completed the work to the agreed price. Were able to let me know how long the work would take and recommend a local area to visit to pass the time. Would definitely recommend and use again myself.
Easy drop off. Great staff. Will be back! Cheers
Nice garage - friendly.

Canada Day Poster Challenge
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Shawn Murphy Charlottetown, PE
Mr. Speaker, each year the Department of Canadian Heritage invites Canadian students from across the country to submit their artwork to the Canada Day poster challenge. Students were challenged to come up with a design and a statement that celebrated their pride as Canadians within the theme "Canada from east to west".
I would like to congratulate Anthony Yu, a 13-year-old student from Queen Charlotte Intermediate High School in Charlottetown for being the Prince Edward Island winner. Anthony's winning design captures the spirit of Canadian identity from east to west to north. He will be joining the contest winners from across the country in Ottawa to celebrate Canada Day.
I would also like to congratulate Moonkyoung Cho, Carley McQuaid and Nicole Arsenault for being the other top finalists from Prince Edward Island. These students, and their peers across Canada who participated in the poster challenge, show us all the true meaning of Canadian pride.

Gord Brown Leeds—Grenville, ON
Mr. Speaker, this year marks the 60th anniversary of the end of the second world war and around the world people are remembering. It is also the Year of the Veteran here in Canada.
I rise today to recognize two people who worked diligently over many months to publish a book that remembers residents of the small town where I live who gave their lives in service to their country. Earlier this spring, at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 92 in Gananoque, Bill Beswetherick and Geraldine Chase unveiled their new book Gananoque Remembers .
Thanks to their efforts, we shall never forget.
Craig Manufacturing

Andy Savoy Tobique—Mactaquac, NB
Mr. Speaker, on Saturday May 7 one of Hartland, New Brunswick's oldest businesses and largest employers burned to the ground. Craig Manufacturing, a plant which builds industrial attachments for heavy equipment, employs approximately 90 people in my riding.
Having that many people out of work could have had a considerable economic impact on the entire riding, but instead, John Craig, Betty Lou and their team began immediate plans to resume business. A temporary office was set up less than 48 hours after the fire to continue serving customers, employing office staff and organizing the rebuilding.
I commend everyone at Craig Manufacturing for staying positive and looking to the future in spite of this disaster. But even more so, I commend the bravery and selflessness of the volunteer firefighters in Carleton County. They worked together and risked their lives to prevent what could have been an enormous tragedy. Several blocks of downtown Hartland were at risk of being blown up by giant propane, argon and oxygen tanks. Thanks to the skill and courage of the volunteer firefighters, such a catastrophe was fortunately avoided.
I thank the volunteer firefighters for their indispensable service and I wish everyone at Craig Manufacturing the best of luck.
Tembec Mill

Guy Côté Portneuf, QC
Mr. Speaker, for years, the Bloc Québécois has been calling upon the government to come up with an effective plan to assist the forestry products industry in Quebec.
Some 403 workers have been hard hit by this government's inaction and incompetence. Tembec has announced it is closing three sawmills in Quebec. When the Tembec mill in Saint-Raymond ceases operations on May 28, 165 of my constituents will lose their jobs.
However, both Tembec and the workers tried to keep the mill profitable and operational by proudly manufacturing a high added value product. These many families earn their livelihood doing this work.
The government's failure in international trade and the forestry industry undermines the ability of our companies to compete. To add insult to injury, the Liberal government is accumulating astronomical surpluses in the EI fund, dipping into it freely and steadfastly refusing to correct this program's inequities.
This says a great deal about the Liberal government, which is more concerned with staying in power artificially than with giving any thought to the financial insecurity of workers who lose their jobs.
Women Veterans

Yasmin Ratansi Don Valley East, ON
Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to rise in the House today to honour Canada's women veterans during this Year of the Veteran.
Women played a major role in our nation's military history. Nurses were the first women to be welcomed into the Canadian military. During the first world war, more than 3,100 nursing sisters served in the medical corps.
Women played a greater role during the second world war. Approximately 50,000 women served our country, as members of the armed forces or the ladies' auxiliary and on the home front.
This afternoon at 4 p.m., the Minister of Veterans Affairs will be hosting a celebration of Canada's women veterans at the National Arts Centre. I invite all my colleagues of the House to join us in saluting our women veterans and honouring their achievements.
Dental Technology

Colin Carrie Oshawa, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to pay tribute to the Association of Dental Technologists. I am pleased to welcome here today the president of the association, Stephen DeLuca, and Al McOrmond of Oshawa.
The Association of Dental Technologists is an often overlooked but critical association in Canada. It advances the dental profession through education and communication, and is instrumental in pursuing excellence in dental technology services.
Canada is a world leader in dental technology, in large part due to the work of this association. Its members continuously work to improve the standards of their profession nationwide, ensure the health of the public, and continue to advance their professional knowledge. It is instrumental in setting and maintaining the high standard of laboratory skills increasingly demanded of dental technicians in Canada.
The ADT is working to keep Canada at the forefront of the profession. I am honoured to have these members here today.
Niagara Folk Arts Festival
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Walt Lastewka St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, I take pride in rising in the House of Commons today to acknowledge and congratulate Mr. Stephen Ruf, the founding father of the Niagara Folk Arts Festival.
The festival is the oldest cultural festival in the province of Ontario and opened its 36th annual edition on Saturday, May 14.
Stephen Ruf's early years certainly shaped the man that he is today. During the second world war he lived in the Freiburg orphanage and saw first-hand the ugliness of racial and cultural discrimination. After immigrating to Canada and settling in the Niagara region, he sought a way to foster and showcase multiculturalism and the Folk Arts Festival was born in May 1969 and is still going strong today.
During the next two weeks, visitors can attend many open houses, allowing them to get an indepth appreciation of the customs and traditions of the various ethnic groups in the Niagara region.
Stephen Ruf's vision of multiculturalism is to be commended. On behalf of the people of St. Catharines and the people of Canada, I thank him for his 36 years of dedication to this wonderful event.

Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. The federation's mission is to act as an advocate for small and medium size businesses. It represents and defends the interests of over 24,000 small and medium size businesses in Quebec.
The federation's policy direction is based on the opinions of its members, which are gathered through regular polls conducted according to the one member, one vote principle.
The growth of the federation and of small and medium size businesses has been remarkable. In addition to being instrumental in job creation and economic growth, small business makes an enormous contribution to the development of communities throughout Quebec.
The Bloc Québécois is proud to draw attention to the 35th anniversary of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business; we wish it every success.

Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to represent the people of Etobicoke--Lakeshore. They have an incredible sense of civic pride and every one of them contribute to making our community the great place that it is.
This weekend we planted flowers in Farrah's Garden. Farrah is a young girl whose life ended tragically at the hands of her father.
We watched the moving of the original Mimico train station, which represents a great part of our local heritage.
We participated in a local waterfront cleanup. So many people rallied together to pitch in and clean up our neighbourhood.
I joined with community members at the sixth annual Lori's Room Walkathon in the name of Lorna-Lynn Martin, a young a girl who battled with and succumbed to cancer.
The numerous local activities show the great spirit in Etobicoke--Lakeshore. Let us continue to make not only Etobicoke--Lakeshore a better place, but our entire country and the world a great place to live.
Customs Officers

Jim Abbott Kootenay—Columbia, BC
Mr. Speaker, at 7 p.m. Sunday May 1, only 100 yards from the Canadian port of Roosville, a man was murdered.
A U.S. sheriff, who just happened to be at the Canadian crossing, took charge of the crime scene. The RCMP were called but they did not arrive until 8:15 p.m. They checked all around both the Canadian and U.S. ports with a dog while a single Canadian inspector manned the port.
In response to the murder, management wanted to double staff that evening but no one would come to work. Why would they when a man had been fatally shot in the head? Canadian customs officers are denied access to weapons for their self-defence.
The inspector on shift had to work alone until 7 a.m. the following morning.
At this same port of entry just months ago, Adam Angel, customs inspector, while also working alone, also died.
When is the minister responsible for emergency preparedness finally going to respond to the dangers faced by customs inspectors at ports of entry where employees have to work alone, isolated and in danger?
Official Languages
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Raymond Simard Saint Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, there was an incident in the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates that demonstrates just how hollow the Conservative Party's so-called commitment to official languages is.
Yesterday, a member of the Conservative Party was questioning a witness in English. The witness chose to respond in French. The Conservative member then asked him, "I understood you're fluently bilingual, sir, is there any reason that you're responding in French at this time?" The Conservative member then asked, "Is there any reason you're responding in French to my questions?"
At their recent congress, the Conservatives voted against a resolution in support of the advancement of francophone and anglophone minorities in Canada. They kept repeating that, at least, they support bilingualism in the Parliament of Canada and other federal institutions, this some 40 years after the bilingualism policy was implemented.
Even that commitment is not so sure anymore. This goes to show once again that old Reform-Alliance attitudes die hard.
B.C. New Democrats

Libby Davies Vancouver East, BC
Mr. Speaker, B.C. New Democrats, led by Carole James, stole the show last night with a fabulous win. With enormous credibility and a progressive platform, she took on the B.C. Liberals' mean policies and won the confidence of B.C. voters.
There will be a huge change in our B.C. legislature as 33 strong New Democrats advocate for progressive values, a sustainable environment and fairness and justice. It is time to end the reckless cuts and decimation of social programs that have hurt women, workers, poor people and aboriginal people.
The strong message from B.C. voters on democratic reform must also be heard. As federal New Democrats, we will redouble our efforts and continue to push the federal government to implement democratic electoral reform in Canada.
On behalf of our leader and all our members, I want to thank Carole, Joy McPhail and Jenny Kwan, who, for four lonely years, battled it out and stood up for all of us.
I congratulate Carole James and her new team for a great win. She led the way and the five B.C. NDP members of Parliament are ready to do the same.
Member for Newmarket—Aurora

2:10 p.m.
Helena Guergis Simcoe—Grey, ON
Mr. Speaker, I can see many unhappy Liberal faces today as they realize they have fallen prey to the ultimate example of privileged queue jumping.
I am sure many Liberals feel stabbed in the back by their leader after he let the member for Newmarket—Aurora slide straight into cabinet without doing the hard work so many of her new colleagues have done over the years.
Does the Prime Minister really understand what he is getting?
During her leadership campaign, the member advocated term limits for prime ministers. Is she hoping the Prime Minister will accept her idea and resign?
In March 2004, the member for Newmarket—Aurora said, "We have gathered here from all different regions across the country and from all different backgrounds but we have one common goal, and that is to get rid of the tired old Liberal government".
The member for Newmarket—Aurora has referred to herself as the Prime Minister in a cocktail dress but one who could bake a better economic pie.
I wonder if her new colleagues realize how much of that pie the Prime Minister is taking from them and giving to their new friend.
Speech and Hearing Awareness Month
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Caroline St-Hilaire Longueuil, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am deeply committed to the cause of advocating for the deaf and hard of hearing, who account for more than 10% of the population.
The CRIM, a computer science research centre in Montreal, has made a significant breakthrough; it has developed a captioning system using voice recognition technology.
Despite such advances, much remains to be done, particularly with respect to French captioning, which is miserably lagging behind.
It is not right that, in 2005, francophones who are deaf or hard of hearing do not have access to programming in their own language. It is the federal government's responsibility to take action by requiring all broadcasters to fully caption their television programs.
Since the heritage minister and her government have failed to act, I will be introducing a bill today to amend the Broadcasting Act to make captioning mandatory.
As this is speech and hearing awareness month, I urge every parliamentarian to take concrete action to ensure that silence is no longer a barrier to the development of people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Description: Body relatively thin, narrow and long with a large eye and a terminal, small mouth. Pectoral fins medium, reach to vent. Pelvic fins very short. Dorsal and anal-fin bases long, caudal peduncle short and relatively wide. Melanophores limited to the fin-ray membranes, typically occurring in five groups: at the front, mid, and rear dorsal fin and the front and rear anal fin. Each melanophore group covers from one to five fin spines or rays. Series of transitional larvae show development of the eye from vertically oval (and tilted backward) to round (round in many larvae captured over the reef). Transitional recruits of H. bivittatus have a mid-dorsal fin ocellus and a mid-lateral body stripe extending directly rearward from the eye, present even in the earliest transitional stages. Transitional recruits on the reef commonly show remnants of the larval melanophores on the fin membranes.

FAA Proposes New Landings Aided by Flight Vision Systems
FAA is proposing a new landing procedure for operators using aircraft equipped with Enhanced Flight Vision Systems (EFVS), in an effort to increase access and throughput at airports when low visibility conditions are present.
The agency published a notice of proposed rulemaking regarding EFVS landings on Tuesday, outlining requirements for pilots that rely on natural vision within 100 feet of the landing point on the runway. If confirmed as a final rule, pilots would be able to use EFVS systems, which provide real-time runway imagery, in place of natural vision.
Under the rule, FAA is only accepting vision systems equipped with forward looking infrared imaging.
"The FAA also believes that an EFVS can provide operational and safety benefits during Category II and Category III operations, especially as more advanced imaging sensor capabilities are developed which function more effectively in lower visibility conditions," FAA said in the proposed rule.
Current regulations permit the use of EFVS for landings when pilots operating under parts 121, 125 and 135 are entering airports where visibility conditions are below authorized minimums.
FAA is also proposing new part 61 training requirements to ensure a safe transition to EFVS landings for pilots who have never performed them before, but would be eligible to with EFVS-equipped aircraft.
The agency has set a deadline of September 2013 for comments to be submitted regarding the rule.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (10 votes).
In short: Needs chip timing and loud speaker at startIn full: Could'nt hear a word the announcer was saying at the start. Did'nt know where the start line was to start my watch, definately needs chip timing next year. I think the medals were won on one of the fairground stalls. Course a bit boring as well to be honest. Not one for me again.Date of review: September 12, 2012
In short: PB potential, poor support, general organisation not professional enoughIn full: Pluses: Timing v accurate & little time lost crossing line so no moans about hand-held timing. PB by 2 mins - but only because wind dropped c.f. 10K race the day before. Showers & easy parking available (small donations) + lots of space in Race HQ to mingle before & after.Minuses: No atmosphere except for runners' own supporters. We were watched impassively in the main - how well advertised was it for onlookers, I wonder. This was very different to most other races. Some dog owners & cyclists made a point of asserting their rights by deliberately(?) getting in the way. Marshalling poor & ineffective on both days (e.g. allowing a car to 3-point turn on the course!), & generally unenthusiastic (with the exception of the girls at the Northerly end - thank you). Water appeared three times, but not at the distances quoted.Overall - a chance missed, and unfortunately it will put me off other events organised by Fylde Runners until I see signs of improvement via this forum.Date of review: September 4, 2012
In short: this was my first HM, great scenery,well organized,it was fun!Date of review: September 4, 2012
In short: Decent fast flat courseIn full: A fast flat course along sea front with a good mix of abilities/speeds. This is my third Fylde Coast running event, and I travel a 260 mile round trip to attend.The water stations were erratic. Although in the runners instructions it stated water was available at 3,6,9 miles and at finish, it was actually at 5, 7 and 10 miles. This is important to most runners to know when to take water on board, and I would have thought most runners plan accordingly. When I asked the water marshals at 5 miles I was told everything was in order. I asked when the next station would be, and I was told Gynn Square- which meant nothing to me in terms of distance. When I asked how far, they didn't know. Unacceptable really.The announcements at the start of the race are a complete waste of time. Nobody can hear them. Would it not be possible to use a mega phone or PA system. The safety car that told runners to keep to the left to let the fast runners through could have been utilised for this. I would also have thought the Hilton could have helped out with a PA system. I realise the run is for charity, but I fail to see what Hilton actually contribute as sponsor, with just random water and a medal given to runners. Goody bags are not why we run, but a bottle of water and a medal appears a bit tight, considering it is meant to have such a large corporate sponsor.Date of review: September 4, 2012
In short: Could do betterIn full: Looking at the other comments I did not have a problem at all collecting my number and I always have my own safety pins so no problem there. the water was my main problem they seemed very close together 5 7 10 miles not 3 6 9 as promised on there web site on of the friendliest races I have done though but you have to chat as yes its a fast course but it is so very boring. the other little problem I had was the announcements at the beginning people trying to shout over 500+ people just doesn't work I didn't hear a word and I was stood pretty close to them. overall a very average race as for the timing it was spot on so no clompaints there Date of review: September 3, 2012
In short: Third time at this event , IMO organisation lacking from previous years . In full: Third time at this event,in my opinion the organisation was lacking from previous years . My Bib didnt not exist at check in,went to information ,lady said my email confirmation was not enough proof of who I was.She sent me away to come back for a spare bib after 940 . Returned at 945 ...lots of others waiting for numbers,not sure why. Lady at desk was a bit terse with everyone I thought and told one guy who had no pins, 1) he should have brought his own and 2)put the number in your pocket and show it at the end.Maybe this lady should have been informed of the info on the Runner info page -Registration"If you have entered online then youneed to collect your race number onrace day. The registration opens at8am. Please bring your emailconfirmation with you when collectingyour race number. There is an enquirydesk if you have any problems orquestions about the event. There is alsoa supply of pins to attach your racenumber to the front of your running top." Sorry Ron,but while I was at the desk 4 people were told you had run out of pins! Water station at three didnt seem to exist ... I was waved past the table on the right and told it was on the left ...This race is very reasonably priced , the marshals are pretty good and it is a flat course with PR potential. Will I be back again ...not sure .Date of review: September 2, 2012
In short: Good if you're good!In full: My first half marathon ( and quite possibly my last lol!) and I found it tough! The scenery was very dull sadly made worse by having to do it twice. The grim treck along the sea front with only a massive sea wall for company was soul destroying! I don't think this is good as a first half as the crowd is non existent apart from about 20 people at the finish line! If you are half decent at running and not really in it for the 'experience' then it's probably a good one to do! The organisation was good, plenty of water stations and excellent marshalls. Not sure I'll be back for this one Blackpool! Date of review: September 2, 2012
In short: Well organised sea-front race for a decent price.In full: Thoroughly enjoyed this race it had a well organised feel to it with very encouraging stewards & for the price i can't see any reason to complain !!! Ok the medal isnt the best i have ever seen but its still nice to get one at the end of the race & safety pins ???? I always take my own no matter what & they cost me 35p for a pack of 10 from my local shop !!!! In short really enjoyed it & will be back next year for a good cause well done !!!Date of review: September 2, 2012
In full: Gary,Sorry you were a bit dissapointed with the Hilton Half Marathon. But???We did not run out of pins, plenty at the registration dsek being given out by a young lady, if we had put 2000 on show they would have gone very quicky as what happened at the 10K the day before-Chip timing was not advertised for this event, not worth it for 500 runners, too expensive, all the times were on display at the registration area by 1pm, they can be viewed on ukresults.net-Medals, they were not leftovers from a previous race with something stuck on, take a good look at yours, all metal incripted design with all the charity details on, as good as most - yes clock stopped, but was started again quite quickly.Fylde Coast Running always welcome both critisism and comments, we can only impriove on the negsatives. All in all the winners from this event, apart from all the competitors was the Hilton In The Community Foundation with thousands of pounds raised over the weekend for childrens charities on the coast and worldwide throught the Hilton worldwide organisation, thank you for your help in taking time to enter the event.RonDate of review: September 2, 2012
In short: Cheap and quick but a few irritating faultsIn full: Lets start with the positives. A predominantly flat course, definate PB potential and I shaved over a minute off mine. Good facilities at the Hilton, showers available at the end in the fitness club which was welcome (for a 2 quid donation to the Hilton Foundation, was was perfectly ok). Plenty of encouragement from the stewards on the way round.Now the negatives. Collected my number 25 mins before the race, and they had run out of safety pins, leading to a scramble round to see if anyone had any spate. Not good enough. No goody bag (which i'm not that bothered about personally), and awful medal. Looked like it was an old left over from a different event with a sticker on it. No chip timing. In fact, was it timed at all?? I'm going to assume it had to be (surely????), but the timing clock at the end wasn't working. Just have to wait to see if the results appear I guess.Overall, a decent race if you're after a PB but to call it 'no frills' is an understatement.Date of review: September 2, 2012

i entered SOTW this week for the first time in a while and tried something i hadn't done before, and i was that pleased with the outcome i thought i'd share some of the techniques that i used in taking a fairly plain image and editing and enhancing it to give it a whole new style and meaning.
the SOTW theme was either Katy Perry or Erotic Art, and i decided early on i wanted to mix the two but wasn't sure how i'd do it. i ran a few basic ideas roughly through photoshop and eventually settled on what you see below. i had originally planned to put Katy's face onto the model, but 1) it was incredibly difficult to do it without ruining the picture, and 2) i decided it felt better to leave it as it is to enhance the 'erotic art' side of it. so ultimately i wanted to take a pin up model, and edit it to reflect the typical style and imagery associated with Katy Perry.
Here's the process step by step (not really a tutorial so forgive the title, but i've added some descriptions as well)
the original image. found randomly through google, credit goes to the talented artist who created it!
cut out the girl to create a transparent background (didn't notice the initials til later in the process!)
trademark blue hair. this was done by creating a copy of just her hair, adjusting hue to create the blue, then adjusting contrast to make it more vivid
images i'd seen of Katy during the "whipped cream bra" scenes showed her wearing stockings so i decided to add one. ultimately decided to add the other leg as well later on
original idea was to just have this can of cream lying next to her (sourced from google images). however, i decided if i was to just leave her naked i might as well use the original images of Katy so...
added a bra draped over her and left another can still attached to it. this was an image of a red bra from google, distorted with the liquify tool and colour intensified
now the infamous clouds. these are from a cap of Katy in the video. all the clouds added are essentially cut/pastes of this layer. here's the foreground
and the background. i also added few more foreground clouds by her arse to create a bit more depth
erased the hard edges of the image and placed within a sig ratio canvas
used the same cloud image again to fill the canvas
adding a blue sky shows the transparency within the clouds and really adds detail and depth to them as well as providing a background to match the music video
decided another stocking would be sexier
i was planning to work something like California Gurl/Girl or California Pinup into the text but couldn't get the position right without getting in the way, so opted for some california themed imaginary, finally settling on a number plate. used an image from google as a template but made this one from scratch over it. just a grey box, text, and 4 holes.
added a big white glare coming in the top of the canvas, and also added a curves layer, adjusted for a vintage kind of look, and slightly increased saturation to brighten the image up
added a shadowed vignette to the image to draw attention inwards and a slight white border round the edge of that
added some pinup/glamour style text (font called Katy Berry!) with englarged capitals
gave the text a classic sort of look with the gradiented border and a slight shadow to create more depth. also left the bottom of the P dropping into clouds which was a complete mistake, just happened by accident as i positioned the text
and that's it really. any questions about anything feel free to ask. it's been a while since i've seen any tutorials in here and the discussion thread never really caught on and i think it's great to discuss peoples work and techniques. to answer a possibly obvious question, this probably took about 3-4 hours in total, and i'd say 2-3 of those were working on things that made the final cut, the other hour or so was working on ideas that got scrapped. as i said at the beginning i was incredibly happy with how this turned out, far better than i thought it would given the original materials and idea so it's something i'm gonna have more goes at. if anyone wants to try something similar, or is after something similar but struggling let me know and i'd be glad to offer help or advice.

10:55 a.m.
Meili Faille Vaudreuil—Soulanges, QC
Mr. Speaker, I can wrap things up after question period, but I will start now.
Before getting to the heart of the matter, I would like to say that I had the opportunity to listen to and read the speech given by my colleague from Marc-Aurèle-Fortin, and I would like to acknowledge his exceptional contribution to this debate.
He gave an excellent speech yesterday on the matter before us now, Bill C-4, and I am pleased to have access to his expertise in this area. I am also glad that, as he said earlier, a number of professionals are providing a new perspective on this bill. We will probably have a chance in committee to take a more in-depth look at the different aspects we must take into account before passing such an important bill.
Today I would like to share a few thoughts that I shared yesterday and the day before with teachers and young people in the riding of Vaudreuil-Soulanges. We have been participating in a forum for the past two days. We also worked as delegates to the Millennium Summit. Homelessness and extreme poverty are issues that affect thousands of young people in Quebec. We also looked at the impact of poverty on the lives of these young people.
Although poverty is not as serious here as it is in many other countries, there are some hardships in life that could be avoided if we took better care of our young people and gave them more support. Although we all come into the world the same way, not everyone grows up in the same living conditions. We must address the problems facing our young people, and only then will we see a marked improvement in our society. We must deal with problems where they begin.
We are debating an important issue here today, one that must not become fodder for shameless propaganda.
I asked to speak to this issue because I wanted to share with the House some of the experiences recounted by some young people whose lives have not been easy. These young people want us to support their efforts and to understand why they are in their current situation. Young people are willing to talk to us about how they wound up in trouble, if we simply give them the chance. These young people's lives have been difficult.
Throughout my life, I have worked with young people and with several community groups. As I have already mentioned in the House, these groups provide crucial support to the communities they serve. Their opinions must be taken into consideration. The people who work in these community organizations are on the front lines of intervention with young people.
Long before I was elected, I worked in close cooperation with community groups to try to ensure fair and equitable sanctions for young offenders. Our society needed to develop an intervention plan centred on rehabilitation and prevention.

Children's Day
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Maurice Vellacott Saskatoon—Wanuskewin, SK
Mr. Speaker today, April 23, and during the weekend, Canadians of Turkish origin will celebrate Children's Day, together with fellow Canadians.
On April 23, 1920, the founder of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk convened the Turkish Grand National Assembly and dedicated this day to children. By doing so, Atatürk not only entrusted the future of his young nation to her children but also showed the importance he placed on the health and education of young people.
In 1979, UNESCO proclaimed the year as the International Year of the Child. Today, April 23 is celebrated with children from more than 60 countries around the world, including Turkey and Canada. This is now a 30-year tradition in Canada.
Tonight in Ottawa in commemoration of Children's Day, the Turkish community will be hosting a fundraising gala dinner, and the benefits will go to the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the SOS Children's Villages.
Let us congratulate the organizers and wish them every success in their activities.
Parkinson's Disease
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Martha Hall Findlay Willowdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, April is national Parkinson's Awareness Month and this week is Parkinson's Awareness Week.
Since Parkinson's Awareness Week first began in 1984, it has given us all the opportunity to learn more and help others learn more about this devastating neurological disease that affects some 100,000 Canadians.
This week highlights the importance of research into the causes and treatments of Parkinson's. At the forefront of advocating for this is Parkinson Society Canada, which this year is celebrating 45 years of supporting and serving Canadians and their families affected by this disease.
Parkinson Society Canada is urging all Canadians to take part in fundraising events being held in communities across the country this week, events that will raise money and awareness for the causes, symptoms, treatments and needs of people with Parkinson's and their loved ones.
We cannot give up our search for a cure.
Repentigny International Junior Tennis Open
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Nicolas Dufour Repentigny, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Repentigny International Junior Tennis Open is a symbol of pride and excellence in the region and it is back again this year. We are celebrating the 25th anniversary of this tournament, the second oldest tournament in Canada after the Rogers Cup and one of the top 10 most prestigious junior tennis tournaments around.
Starting tomorrow straight through until the end of the tournament on September 4, a series of events will be organized for people to help mark the 25th anniversary of the International Tennis Open.
I invite everyone in Quebec to take part in the various activities the organizing committee has planned for the coming months. I also invite everyone to come and cheer on the best junior tennis players in the world, who will be competing from August 27 to September 4.
I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the exceptional work of all the volunteers and the organizing committee, who make this tournament such a success year after year.
Veterans Affairs
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Irene Mathyssen London—Fanshawe, ON
Mr. Speaker, the government's plan to close 72 beds reserved for veterans at Parkwood Hospital in London, Ontario, is both shortsighted and disgraceful.
While we know there are fewer second world war and Korean war veterans needing hospital care, there is a growing need for the same quality care for members of the Canadian Forces and RCMP veterans who served Canada in Afghanistan and as peacekeepers in Bosnia, Cyprus and, indeed, around the world.
The number of modern-day veterans requiring care is steadily increasing. So is the need for beds. It is soulless to ban veterans who have served in peacekeeping and other missions since the Korean war from the specialized care that the Department of Veterans Affairs is obliged to provide.
I call on the federal government to change the regulations that exclude modern-day veterans and ensure access to these Parkwood beds. These brave men and women served our country well and deserve the assistance and care they need. We owe them at least that much.
Firearms Registry
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Pierre Lemieux Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON
Mr. Speaker, farmers in my riding and all across Canada need to know that the Liberals do not understand them and do not represent them. Yesterday, in a rather shocking display of anti-democratic behaviour, the Liberals, with help from their NDP and Bloc partners, tried desperately to force upon the public safety committee only their list of witnesses who support the long gun registry.
Farmers, hunters and rural Canadians have been clear that they want the Liberal long gun registry scrapped, but what does the Liberal leader do? He publicly states that he will force his MPs to ensure the continuation of the long gun registry. With decisions like that, it is no wonder that only a handful of Liberal MPs represent rural ridings.
Now is the time to end the Liberal long gun registry. Now is the time to target criminals and not our farmers and hunters. First Liberal MPs are whipped to support the wasteful and ineffective long gun registry, and now their leader is trying to silence Canadians who disagree with him.
Let us work together to end the long gun registry.
World Malaria Day
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Keith Martin Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca, BC
Mr. Speaker, April 25 is World Malaria Day, a time to remember that more than two million people a year, many of them children, die of this disease.
Tackling this scourge must involve strengthening developing countries' primary health care systems and the selective spraying of DDT. When the latter was done in South Africa, it showed a 90% reduction in malaria cases, with no effect on the environment.
This June, as host to the G8 and G20 summits, Canada must play a role in leading the world's richest countries to invest in the primary health care systems of developing countries. This will enable us to treat most of the world's major killers, pneumonia, gastroenteritis, tuberculosis, malaria, HIV-AIDS and malnutrition, and it will reduce maternal and childhood deaths.
Our government cannot and must not lose this opportunity to have the most profound impact on the lives of the world's poorest. Let us use April 25 as a time to double our efforts to tackle malaria and the world's major killers.
Clearwater River
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Brian Jean Fort McMurray—Athabasca, AB
Mr. Speaker, water is life. In my constituency of Fort McMurray—Athabasca, we are privileged to have one of Canada's designated heritage rivers.
The Clearwater River once was a busy highway that opened up the north and west of Canada. Fur traders and explorers portaged the many falls and rapids and enjoyed the gentle flow to the mighty Athabasca River.
Today the Clearwater River, from its source in Lloyd Lake in northern Saskatchewan to the junction with the Athabasca, is still pristine and beautiful. Clear, clean water, fast-flowing rapids and banks lined with spruce and birch trees and many animals make our river a canoeist's dream. I invite you, Mr. Speaker, and all Canadians to enjoy this with us. My constituents are absolutely delighted that, because of the heritage river designation, the beauty, untouched nature and clean, pure water will be preserved for our future.
While we need to prosper economically, we need to preserve the waters we have. Let us continue to protect life by protecting our waters.
Cérium Prize
Statements By Members
April 23rd, 2010 / 11:05 a.m.
Monique Guay Rivière-du-Nord, QC
Mr. Speaker, on April 15, at its annual gala, the Centre d'études et de recherches internationales of the Université de Montréal awarded the Cérium prize to Paul Gérin-Lajoie. This prize honours a Quebecker who has made an outstanding, lifelong contribution to the internationalization of Quebec.
Paul Gérin-Lajoie originated the doctrine of the same name that has formed the basis for Quebec's international policy since 1965. The doctrine states that a province's sovereignty in its areas of jurisdiction should also apply in its international relations. Elected officials and representatives of Quebec have since adopted this doctrine.
Paul Gérin-Lajoie also set up a foundation that contributes to basic child education and adult literacy in some of the world's poorest countries. One of the best-known activities of this foundation is the PGL dictation contest.
As the critic for la Francophonie, I congratulate Paul Gérin-Lajoie for the immense contribution he has made to extending Quebec's influence abroad.
Victims of Crime
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Daniel Petit Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Mr. Speaker, the fifth National Victims of Crime Awareness Week will come to a close tomorrow, but it will not end there for us. Every victim of crime is important, no matter who they are or where they live. Protecting law-abiding Quebeckers and Canadians has always been a top priority for our Conservative government.
This week, our government put in place a number of initiatives to put the rights of law-abiding citizens before those of criminals.
Although the Leader of the Bloc stated earlier this week that "the Bloc...has done a lot by adopting a constructive and rigorous attitude when it comes to justice", in this House, we know very well that it is not unusual for the Bloc to oppose our crime and justice initiatives.
Quebeckers and Canadians can always count on our government to ensure that victims' rights take precedence over those of criminals.
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Gerald Keddy South Shore—St. Margaret's, NS
Mr. Speaker, in 2006, our government introduced legislation to put an end to conditional sentences, or house arrest, for serious and violent crimes. However, the bill was repeatedly stalled and eventually gutted by the opposition.
In the last session of Parliament, we reintroduced the bill. The Liberals said they would support it. Now the member for Ajax—Pickering and his Liberal cronies have announced they will oppose this important piece of legislation.
This flip-flop comes as no surprise to Canadians who have come to expect this type of behaviour from the Liberal Party. However, I wonder what the member for Ajax—Pickering's constituents would say, knowing that their member of Parliament opposes a bill to end house arrest for crimes such as aggravated assault, human trafficking, luring a child, arson, fraud and extortion.
I am proud to be a member of the only party that stands up for victims and law-abiding citizens in this country.
Salmon Fishery
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Jean Crowder Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, earlier this week, marine biologist Alexandra Morton left Sointula on her "Get Out Migration" walk down Vancouver Island to raise public awareness about the effects of industrial fish farming on wild salmon.
People around the world are paying attention and demanding that our government recognize that salmon are sacred and protect wild runs. Lax regulating of open-net salmon farms along wild salmon migratory routes has resulted in the transfer of sea lice and disease, contamination of the seabed by waste products and the takeover of habitat by escaped fish.
Canadians, especially in my riding of Nanaimo—Cowichan, want the federal government to apply the Fisheries Act and ban open-net salmon farming near these routes, so we do not lose the food security, thousands of jobs and millions of dollars that wild salmon bring to our province. Alexandra Morton is calling for moving the industrial production of fish to land-based operations away from wild salmon.
Salmon farm families do not have to be left behind. We can have our fish and eat it too, by firm regulation of industrial fish farms and protection of wild salmon runs.
CBC Pollster
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Bev Shipley Lambton—Kent—Middlesex, ON
Mr. Speaker, Frank Graves, the Ekos pollster, is providing interesting advice to the Liberal leader and he is taking it. Graves, who also just happens to be the CBC's pollster of record, has publicly said that the Liberals should: "Stop worrying about the west...No need to fear of polarizing the debate...invoke a culture war. Cosmopolitanism versus parochialism...tolerance versus racism and homophobia, democracy versus autocracy. If the cranky old men in Alberta do not like it, too bad".
This is unbelievable and highly offensive that the CBC pollster is providing political advice to the Liberal Party to start a cultural war. Graves is hired by the CBC to poll and comment on party politics. He has been a major donor to the Liberal Party; however, he is providing clear and offensive messaging advice to the Liberals.
For the CBC, this is a clear conflict of interest.

Fletcher: Consolidation a logical option for counties seeking new jail
If you don't like thinking "outside the box" then don't read any further because you'll hate this. There is a wonderful opportunity for Alpena and Presque isle counties that just happened to turn up.
Both of the counties need a new jail and Alpena County needs new administrative offices and some court-related space. I know a little about this because I am well acquainted with the southern Rocky Mountain region and one of the counties there just built new county offices, a new jail, and new administrative offices all in one large complex. The cost was $35-40,000,000. The county in question has a population of around 30,000 and the population is declining. The major industries are mining and tourism. That's a bunch of money for one small county.
I'm back to talking about the inevitable merging of governments and governmental functions in Northeast Michigan in the five counties of Alcona, Alpena, Montmorency, Oscoda, and Presque Isle. The center of population for this area is very close to the intersection of M-32 and M-65. Any consolidation is not going to happen simultaneously nor spontaneously. A gradual sharing of resources will, over a couple of decades, lead to mergers of governmental entities and eventually to one county, Thunder Bay County. No one will want to give up their old identity and it's not necessary to do so. Simply put, a new entity will take over without prejudice to any existing location.
A new jail and judicial center in Lachine is about equidistant in time from both Rogers City and Alpena. The counties involved can figure the cost sharing of both financing and operations on some sort of usage plus proportion of equalized value. The spot is a good one because it is very close to the weighted population center of the five counties but still is in a good spot for these particular two counties. Best of all, we get to amortize the cost of one facility over two counties rather than two similar facilities each being financed by one.
Now I don't know the condition of the jails in Alcona, Oscoda, nor Montmorency counties, but if they wished to join a regional center I'll bet that it is cheaper than five individual lockups.This idea intuitively is cheaper than building five county-centered facilities.
This is a chance for keeping costs down through the sharing of assets of common use in the two and perhaps, in all five counties.
It's time for the thinking to start about how to pay for our government in the future in the face of declining populations and revenue sources. "If you do what you always did, you'll get whatyou always got."And what you got was ever increasing taxes.
I believe the combination of services, like jails, will be cheaper in the long run and less cost to construct in the present.
