Peter Purves Smith (26 March 1912 – 23 July 1949), born Charles Roderick Purves Smith, was an Australian painter. Born in Melbourne, Purves Smith studied at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London and under progressive art teacher George Bell in Melbourne.
In his student years, Purves Smith emerged as a uniquely confident artist. He was the first modern artist in Australia to paint historical Australian subjects, including the explorers Burke and Wills, and was among the first Australian artists to have direct contact with the international Surrealist movement. He travelled throughout Europe in the late 1930s, painting many of his most celebrated works in Paris. In 1941, art critic Clive Turnbull identified Purves Smith, William Dobell, and Purves Smith's close friend Russell Drysdale as "the three most significant Australian artists" of the era.[1] However, Purves Smith's artistic career was put on hold while he served in World War II, and later by illness. He died in 1949, leaving behind a small yet influential body of work.
Early life and education[edit]
Peter Purves Smith was born on 26 March 1912 in East Melbourne, the second child and only son of Victorian-born graziers William Purves Smith and Loe Purves Smith. The family's male line in Australia extends back to Peter's grandfather Thomas Smith (1830–87), who emigrated from Darnick, Roxburghshire, in the Scottish Borders to the Colony of Victoria during the early days of the Victorian gold rush in 1854. Thomas rapidly prospered, establishing various businesses and acquiring farming properties and inner Melbourne mansions. William—although distant from Thomas—took to his father's alternating lifestyle of rural farming and leisured vacations in the city. By 1905, William had married Laura (Loe) Chapman and was wool-growing at Dwarroon, outside Warrnambool. They raised their children Alison (known as Jocelyn) and Peter in various places throughout Victoria, never settling permanently in one place. Purves Smith attended a prep school in England and Geelong Grammar School in Australia, alongside future artist and friend Russell Drysdale. In order to please his father, Peter entered the Royal Australian Naval College in 1926, but dropped out three years later to become a jackaroo near Hay by the Murrumbidgee River.[2][3] William Purves Smith committed suicide on Christmas Eve, 1932.[3]
Following his father's suicide, Peter travelled extensively throughout Europe. In England, 1934, Purves Smith's sister Jocelyn noticed his hobby of drawing, and suggested he attend an art school. He studied under Iain Macnab at Grosvenor School of Modern Art in 1935, and back in Australia under George Bell at the Bourke Street Studio School.[3] There he met again old Geelong friend Russell Drysdale, and fellow Bell student Maisie Newbold, whom he married in 1946 at Toorak with Drysdale as best man. Drysdale, too, had been a jackaroo, and both artists worked closely together and influenced each other's art. Apart from his teachers and Drysdale, Amedeo Modigliani, Paul Nash, Henri Rousseau, Maurice Utrillo, Christopher Wood and surrealism impacted what would become Purves Smith's highly personal style.[2][4]

Work and travel[edit]
Throughout the late 1930s, Purves Smith painted in London and Paris, which critic Bernard William Smith cites as his most important era.[2] Not only did Purves Smith paint his new physical surroundings (1939's Early Morning in Paris) and political environment (1938's The Nazis, Nuremberg), but also recalled works of the Australian landscape, namely Kangaroo Hunt (1938), which was included in the touring exhibition Art of Australia 1788-1941, and acquired by the Museum of Modern Art, New York.[5] In 1939, art critic Gino Nibbi said "Purves Smith seems one of the most qualified at the present time to give some allegorical interpretations of the virgin appearance of the Australian landscape".[2] He painted a scene from the Burke and Wills expedition in 1937 (several years before Sidney Nolan began his Burke & Wills series[6]), and the "pole-like trees, elongated figures, sheets of iron, and low horizons" of his early 1940 Drought landscapes anticipated "in more ways than one" the future direction of Drysdale's art.[2][7] According to art historian Sasha Grishin, Purves Smith's "apocalyptic" depictions of Australia's desolate interior convey a fear of vast space, and employ a "recognizable Australian setting to express both personal, as well as broader social anxieties" in the lead up to war.[8]
World War II[edit]
Germany invaded Poland on 1 September 1939, and Britain, which had made an alliance with Poland in August, declared war. During this time, Purves Smith was vacationing in California with his mother; the outbreak of war caused him to make a detour to the Grand Canyon, about which he wrote to Maisie in a characteristically facetious tone: "If one is to die gloriously one might as well see a few things first".[9] He returned to London in October and tried to enlist in the British army, but was told to wait. During the intervening months his state of mind became "paralytic" and he withdrew from social life. Maisie, now back in Melbourne, urged Peter to return to Australia. Despite missing Maisie and suffering from homesickness, he successfully joined up in May 1940.[10]
Purves Smith's first role in the army was to transport petrol and military supplies across the south of England. Life in the training camps was mentally numbing, and before each academic exam Purves Smith feared being given the bum's rush. In September 1941, having volunteered for a posting abroad, he went on active service in West Africa (then known by soldiers as the "white man's grave"). Purves Smith was a lieutenant stationed in Nigeria with the West African Forces' 11th General Transport Company. Not much is known about his time there as the postal censor checked mail from the front for military information. What remains of Purves Smith's letters describes the day-to-day aspects of life in the jungle, including dashes into the African wilds and his growing revulsion at body odour and the sight of sweat.[11] Detailed histories of the West Africa Campaign indicate his company travelled along the Takoradi supply route, which was established in August 1940 as a means of bypassing Vichy French territories to reach upper Egypt.[12] The route lasted until September 1943, coinciding with the end of Purves Smith's service in Africa. Much later, Purves Smith painted a memory of Chad in West Africa (1948, National Gallery of Victoria[13]).
In 1944, he was one of Major General Orde Wingate's "chindits" behind Japanese lines in Burma.[2] Immediately after the war, he was hospitalised with tuberculosis.
Return to Melbourne[edit]
In May 1946, he returned to Australia and also to painting with a far more abstract approach. Significant works from this period are The Pleading Butcher and Woman Eating Duck, both painted in 1948 and now held at the National Gallery of Australia.[14][15] Purves Smith's final oil painting was a landscape painted from the perspective of his home in Sassafras, in the Dandenong Ranges. It was an attempt to "paint like the old boys", a reference to early Australian colonial artists such as John Glover.[16]
Later works[edit]

Death and recognition[edit]
Peter Purves Smith was hospitalised in 1948, and later drafted to the Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital for major lung surgery. He died of post-operative shock the next day, 23 July 1949, and was cremated.[16] Despite his small oeuvre of less than 100 paintings and posthumous descent into relative obscurity,[5] Purves Smith emerged as a celebrated artist—influencing many of his contemporaries—and has been recognised as "the first of the young modern artists to look inquiringly at the Australianness of country life".[7] His use of surreal elements, colloquial themes and at times biting satire set precedent for the work of the Melbourne-based Angry Penguins in the mid to late 1940s.[5] Two retrospective exhibitions were held in Melbourne: one at the Stanley Coe Gallery in 1950,[17] and the other at the Joseph Brown Gallery in 1976.[5][18] A touring exhibition of his work commenced in 2001 following the publication of Mary Eagle's biography Peter Purves Smith: A Painter in Peace and War.[19]
George Bell wrote an obituary for him in The Sun,[20] saying Purves Smith
... was and would have remained unique in Australian art. None other has combined such a wealth of qualities, alertness of imagination always revealing something unexpected, an adult point of view and technical ability, all infused by a warm humanity and seasoned by a puckish humour which was his alone.— George Bell
Following the death of Russell Drysdale's wife in 1963, Drysdale married Maisie Purves Smith in 1964.[21] In March 2000, burglars stole two paintings by Peter Purves Smith from Maisie's home in Woy Woy on the Central Coast, as well as a Drysdale painting which was given to Maisie as a gift soon after Peter's death. The works were valued at $350,000.[22]
Peter Purves Smith's 1938 painting The Pond was the subject of an ekphrastic poem by scholar Peter Steele in the 2006 book The Whispering Gallery: Art Into Poetry.[23] In 2008, several of Purves Smith's works were included in the exhibition Australian Surrealism: the Agapitos/Wilson Collection, held at the National Gallery of Australia,[24] and his major student work New York was shown in the 2008 Powerhouse Museum exhibition Modern Times.[25] Purves Smith is also represented in the National Gallery of Victoria's Joseph Brown Collection, a survey of Australian art from its colonial beginnings to contemporary times. Of the collection, former Christie's director of art sales Jon Dwyer said "There are many iconic pictures, including von Guerards, some great Streetons and McCubbins - and arguably the best work Peter Purves Smith ever painted, which is my favourite."[26] Lucile, Purves Smith's 1937 portrait of Melbourne socialite Lucile Stephens (daughter of Henry Douglas Stephens), was acquired in 2011 by the Queensland Art Gallery through its Foundation Appeal,[27] and is deemed by the gallery to be a collection highlight.[28]

I argue, pace Timothy Williamson, that one cannot provide an adequate account of what it is for a case to be borderline by appealing to facts about our inability to discriminate our actual situation from nearby counterfactual situations in which our language use differs in subtle ways. I consider the two most natural ways of using such resources to provide an account of what it is for a case to be borderline and argue that both face crippling defects. I argue that the problems faced by these two accounts point to more general reasons to be skeptical of the claim that facts about semantic indiscriminability provide sufficient resources for an analysis of what it is for a case to be borderline.

Abacos Chartering
We have bareboated in the BVI's and know are thinking of 2 weeks in the Abaco's. We are thinking late March 09 to early April. What about weather? I have been checking weather conditions there and i'm wondering if it may be a little to cool and windy for us. We like to snorkle and scuba and love to sail as long as its not blowing to hard. 5 to 10k is perfect over 15 no thanks. We will be sailing with 2 none sailors.
Here are two sources you can pursue
1) A Bahamas cruiser with regular logs + contact tab:
Dream Catcher - Welcome!
2) Someone Planning a trip with experienced people helping:
Traveltalkonline: Boat provisioning in/near Marsh Harbour Moorings
3) BVI vs Abacos - discussion w/ experienced sailors
Traveltalkonline: BVI's vs Abacos
Late March and early April are great months in the Abacos...water temps are plenty warm for swimming and diving for extended periods BUT you can still get some 70 degree weather which makes it less attractive. There are plenty of other things to do and see and winds should normally be well within your comfort zone and sailing is in very protected water with easy navigation. Lobster season ends 4/1 so if you would like to hunt for "bugs" on your charter, I'd suggest the last week of March.
The Moorings out of Marsh Harbor is well established and their sister company Sunsail is supposed to be opening up this month so there may be deals with them. There are several smaller outfits with better prices but older boats as well.
Thak You!

Aeon Flux
Read Our Full Review & Parent Discussion Questions Here
Aeon Flux
Rating & Content Info
Why is Aeon Flux rated PG-13? Aeon Flux is rated PG-13 by the MPAA For sequences of violence and sexual content.
Theron's character is unrealistically able to subdue various male and female attackers. These fights sequences make up the majority of the plot and involve weapons and body contact. Many "extras" and some main characters are shot with blood shown, blood spatters on the inside of a subway train, and Aeon removes bullets from a bloodied wound. Two scenes imply a sexual encounter, with Theron's back exposed in one. Surprisingly, no profanities were heard.

So what is email marketing software?
Email marketing software enables businesses in an automated way to create and send email marketing campaigns easily and effectively.
Email marketing software is designed to help businesses and marketers to stay in touch with customers using email.
Research shows that more than 80% of sales in the average company come from existing customers. That means communication sent via email can make a real difference to a business turnover.
Email marketing software explained
Email marketing services are designed to help you stay in touch with customers using electronic mail. Research shows that more than 80% of sales in the average company come from existing customers. That means updates and offers sent via email can make a real difference to your turnover.
The messages you send are not like spam because they go out to relevant people who are interested in your operation. You can reach thousands of internet users in seconds for a very low cost compared to alternative methods. Some business owners spend thousands on media and newspaper ads that will never perform as well.
Email marketing can present your messages in a lot of different ways. You can send striking graphics that are sure to grab attention and links that take people to the relevant pages.
With professional services, you can even send emails to people who've never heard of your brand. However, the messages are well-targeted to ensure they are people who show an interest in your industry.
What can email marketing services do for your company?
As we've just explained, email marketing services can help you to stay in touch with current customers. They can also help you to target new consumers who match your chosen demographics. Even so, there are some other great benefits you need to understand. They include:
» Features that allow you to track the success of your campaign by assessing website hits.
» A feedback mechanism that allows customers to make comments on your advertising campaign
» Better brand recognition around the world.
There are different ways you can market your business and products via email. Some company bosses choose to send weekly newsletters or surveys to advance their position. That tends to work a little better than blatant advertising, but the best methods depend on the nature of your operation.
What should you include when sending newsletters?
The content of your weekly newsletters should help to engage your audience and encourage interactions. That means a long list of products from your website isn't going to produce the best results. You need to get friendly with your audience and make the emails a little more personal.
For instance, you might like to think about:
» Writing informal greetings that mentions the value you hold for your customers.
» Discussing recent industry-related news that could affect your customers or your business.
» Making funny comments or jokes based on the previous information.
» Highlighting your latest deals, offers, or coupons.
» Letting customers know about your plans for the future.
» Wishing your audience good health and reinforcing their value to your brand.
Email newsletters that contain all those elements are almost guaranteed to work better than those that don't. Just scroll through your inbox and take a look at some of the emails you get from other brands. You'll soon begin to notice a pattern in the way they are constructed and designed.
What is the use of email surveys for your business?
Email surveys can become exceptionally important for your digital marketing campaign. The best way to find out what your customers want is to ask them directly. You can also ask questions relating to your advertising techniques.
Maybe some people think you're approach is too aggressive? You can usually tell if that issue is causing a problem because your subscriber list will begin to diminish. However, asking them outright could help you to gain a better understanding of the problem. Altering your approach is often difficult if you haven't got detailed and accurate feedback.
Some business owners find that email surveys are the best tool available when it comes to testing new products or services. It's also a fantastic method for letting your customers know their opinion is important to your company.
What should you think about when choosing an email marketing software?
Firstly, it's vital you understand that getting positive results is somewhat of an artform. You could handle the entire process in-house, but you'll struggle to reach the right people. With professional email marketing software services, you can contact people who do not have a relationship with your brand.
So, you should look for:
» Large contact lists so you can reach many people.
» Advanced features like birthday cards or timed messages.
» A great set of templates to make your life easier.
» Analytics that help you to track your progress.
» Telephone or Skype support during the setup phase.
So long as the email marketing service you select contains all those elements, you should be onto a winner. Just make sure you read reviews from other business owners using the service before making a commitment. In most instances, fees are charged on a monthly basis, and there are no long-term contracts.
All company bosses must read the small print carefully to ensure they fully understand the deal. Some email marketing services are going to provide better results than others, and that is why you need to avoid the budget providers.
As you can see from the information on this page, email marketing could help to drive your business forwards. It could assist you in making sure existing customers never forget your website, and it could even help you to reach new people.
Those who are just getting started need to select a suitable service as soon as possible. Add a subscription box to your website so any visitor can subscribe and stay updated. You can also add contact details to your subscription list when people purchase products or services from your site.
Common courtesy means you should always add a link at the bottom of marketing emails that allows people to unsubscribe. You can usually judge the success of individual messages by checking the number of unsubscriptions each week.
When you send too many promotional emails, the receiver can begin to see them as spam. That often results in them ignoring the message altogether or reporting it to their email provider. To avoid that situation, you just need to make careful assessments of your audience.
As we have already discussed, email surveys are the best solution for that issue.

DIRECTION are fresh out of bog roll after caring for this litter of
Andrex puppies.
The lads posed with the mutts in what will surely go down as one of the
cheesiest magazine covers of all time.
It's so bad it could easily be mistaken for a parody. It isn't.
The cute puppies are in fact trainee guide dogs – and the shoot for November's
issue of Wonderland magazine.
It's easy to see why the lads wanted to take the puppies home with them.
Don't suppose they begged to take the clobber though, even if it is Polo Ralph
Lauren. Or the blow-dries.
They told the mag why they think they've been so successful.
LIAM said: "For us, the main thing is we've just been ourselves. Lots
of people get into our situation and you hear that they've changed. We've
just stayed as ourselves.
"There's lots of things the fans don't know about us. People still ask whether
we really get on or not – and we genuinely do. A lot of people don't believe
LOUIS added: "I think previous boybands felt they had to meet a
stereotype. We're just ourselves – stupid, immature and quirky."
And sometimes forced to do really terrible photoshoots.

'Tis the season for Home Alone fans.
While most of us are usually content sat watching the first two films on DVD, over the last couple of weeks, original child star Macaulay Culkin recorded a rather amazing (if a bit disturbing) video for fans of the film.
The short video showed exactly how Kevin McCallister ended up, and safe to say, being terrorised by two burglars didn't make him the most stable of adults.
Now, one of the Wet Bandits has posted a reply, and it's so worth a watch.
Actor Daniel Stern, who played Marv, got into the Christmas spirit and gave us the gift we've been waiting years for.
He says:
Come find me Harry, I'm scared. The kid is back – I saw it, I saw it on the internet. The kid is coming to get us!YouTube
I saw him, he's coming for all the home invaders and he's gonna come and get us! He's coming back, I saw it – he's got blood, he was killing, stabbing or something!
So come on Harry, answer Marv's call and make it a New Year to remember.

Asterix and the Great Rescue
Reviewed by Yuri Storchak
Genre and what to do:The game is based on the popular French comics series Asterix. It is 50 B.C., and the entire Gaul (today's France) is conquered by the Romans. Only one village still remains independent, thanks to the incredible powers of its two great warriors, Asterix and Obelix. They must first of all liberate the village Orvio and rescue their friend Dogmatix.
You can play as either Asterix or Obelix. You make your way through platform levels, fighting enemies by punching them, and jumping to access higher ares or to avoid falling down. There are also some items you can collect, such as bombs, with which you can overcome obstacles and advance in the game. You'll be able to ride a carpet controlling it like one of those side scrollingn shooter games, there's a boat sequence where you have leap from one boat and board a pirate ship and there's a race to room where you're on a cart and have to fight off Romans and dodge obstacles.

The season pass needs more SP content if anything. 1 DLC that's maybe an hour long is not being a great host to your fans. If they're going to increase the amount of MP, then they need to increase the amount of SP as well, and vice versa.

Five Signs the Guy You're Dating Is Playing You
If you're worried the guy you're dating is playing you, here are five red flags you should look out for . . .
1. He's fickle. Meaning he texts and flirts with you one day, then ignores you for the next two weeks. If he wanted to date you, he'd find a way to get in touch.
2. He never makes plans. If you never make plans ahead of time, and just hang out whenever he spontaneously gets in touch, he's probably just using you because you're convenient.
3. He has a bad reputation. You can't believe everything you hear, but if he's got a reputation for being a player, that's obviously something you need to keep in mind.
4. He never talks about himself. If you've known a guy for weeks and still don't know anything about his childhood or family, it's because he wants to keep things surface-level.
5. He only flirts in private. Sure, some people are shy or don't like PDA, but if he ONLY flirts with you on the phone or when you're alone together, it's because he wants to keep you a secret.

Thanks for helping!
This is my favorite Greek style pizza. The dough is delicious and they are generous with the cheese. I've had pizza from MHP many times and it's amazing.
After reading some of the reviews I decided to try a cheese pizza but boy, was I disappointed. The sauce was thick and sweet. The cheese had no taste and wasn't the hot, stringy mozzarella cheese you like to have on a pizza.
I used to live around the corner and have been eating this pizza since they opened, though now only when I visit the area. Tastes the same - delicious. Not artsy, just the standards, but done so well.
I've been going to house for the last five years when visiting my wife's family in town and it is hands down the best pizza I've ever had. The Chicken Kabob salad is another work of art with the perfect creamy Greek dressing to finish it off. This place will not disappoint, we wish they would open one in Colorado
The Greek Caesar salad with grilled chicken is awesome. Love the dressing. No olives, no tomatoes for me extra feta and salad dressing -no problem! Always accomodating. Grill the bread before and after for my steak bomb. Perfection. Pizza 1/3 plain, 1/3 pepperoni, 1/3 mushrooms. Everyone is happy. Consistent quality food with the tweaks you want.
This pizza place was on our way at the right time - didn't know about it before. It doesn't look anything much out, or inside, but the Greek style pizza was really really delicious. And I am not a pizza lover as such. If you are in that area, and hungry, that is definitely the place.
The cafe offers many more choices than just pizza so guests can order sandwiches, drinks, soup, salads, etc. A cheery place to spend a little extra time and great eating spot.
House of Pizza was highly recommended to us and did not disappoint. The pizza and grinders are delicious and the service is wonderful! I would absolutely come back here again.
We love this pizza and this family owned joint has been a mainstay in Marblehead for years and years! Greek style pizza is a little different than the standard Italian and I would say that the crust is a little thicker and they are more generous on the toppings. It can be a little greasier than the standard thin crust,...
After so many positive reviews, I was certain that this place was at least moderately good. That is not my experience visiting last night.
I will fully divulge that my husband and I are pizza snobs, and really like to make our own, often because we cannot find a local pizzeria who meets minimums.
However, we are able to put...

14. The Flipping of the Switch (part 1)
An ear-splitting howl burst through the night, and a pair of sleepy blue eyes snapped open. Hataru looked around the room, surprised to find that it was not her voice that had woken her. Though she felt even more exhausted than she had before falling asleep, her small feet hit the cold wooden floor in a heartbeat. Still in her nightgown, she raced down the hallway toward the sound of the voice. It sounded infuriated, but frightened, like a wild tiger trapped in a cage, yowling for its freedom; its colossal paws reaching through the bars, grabbing at her, yearning to get out. Dare she step any closer and she might be sliced to bits by its sharpened claws, yet still, out of her burning curiosity, Hataru continued down the hallway.
"I SAID NO, FIRIOUS!" the voice boomed. Hataru slowly tiptoed over to a slightly open door. Warm yellow light showered onto her face as she peeked through the opening. The room was cluttered and messy, as if a rabid monkey had been set loose to wreak havoc on the poor objects that now made their homes on the floor. Unfortunately, from this angle, Hataru could not see the person to which the screaming voice belonged.
"Just listen to me! Try to be reasonable; you usually are. I hate it when you get like this, you always turn into a real monster!" spoke another voice, calm but bitter and hurt.
"Fine. I'll just come back once you've calmed down. You'll come to your senses eventually." Large boots stomped in her direction, and Hataru jumped away from the door as if it were on fire, afraid of being caught snooping around. The hallway was temporarily lit up with soft light, and then the captain's first mate stood before her. Eyes wide she feared that she would be scolded for peeping, but Firious, looking like a dejected dog, only gazed up at the ceiling and sighed.
With a strained smile and a pinched, gruff voice he told her, "He says he doesn't want to see anyone at the moment. I suggest you return to your quarters, little lass," and then he stepped around her and walked away, the sound of his heavy footsteps slowly fading.
Bewildered and confused, Hataru was a statue. She couldn't decide whether to follow Firious' advice and return to bed or if she should venture through the door to find the howling voice's owner. Could it really be who she thought it was? He seemed so nice, so serene and unshakable. She wouldn't have thought it possible for such insufferable sounds to escape that man's gentle lips. Again, curiosity was tugging at the princess' mind, tickling her brain, inducing her further to take the leap and discover what she already yearned to know. To whom did the voice belong?
Cre-eak! The old hinges betrayed her attempt at stealth as she pushed the door open ever so slightly. Despite the warmth of the light, the room seemed cold. A man, his back turned to her, stared out a dark, circular window. As soon as she saw the candle light glint off of his lengthy silver hair, she stopped as if a frightening winter wind had swept across her path, freezing her in place. Deaf to the girl's entrance, he turned away from the window and began pacing back and forth. His voice, not nearly as loud as before, but still quite thunderous, resonated of the walls as he began speaking his abhorrent thoughts aloud to himself.

Stop and CellMature
They stopped the truck for a while but the appointed came back quickly. "Okay, I've got it sorted... Go!"
"Great closer to the prison cell" I say sarcastically. The appointed looks at me sympathetically.
"Oh, forgot to say the name's Eternity" she says.
"Oh my god seriously" I begin laughing.
"Whats so funny?" she asks raising an eyebrow.
"Nothing our names are so close. I knew someway they'd replace me.... You better have the skill girl" I say smiling at her.
She blushes then smiles back.
The truck stops. A blind fold is tied on with a 'sorry' mumbled from Eternity. Then its taken away and I'm in a locked room with Eternity.
"Why were you framed?" she asks.
"Neroze never told you" I say smiling cheekily. I cross my legs in the air and float.
Eternity tries it but its slightly harder for her. "Channel the air energy down through your body" I say.
She does it and she floats to my height.
"What didn't he tell me?" she says.
"Me and Neroze trained together..... but I was in head for the rank he has now" I say. Eternity gawks shocked.
"Are you saying it was him?" she gasps.
"No" I shout shocked. "Neroze was my best friend. He had gain but he respected all five of the..... of the appointed killed"
"Was?" She says noting the past tense. I sigh.
"I don't know if he still sees me that way.... I still remember the look on his face when all the evidence lead to me"
"So he didn't believe you?"
"Neroze was the one who let me escape" I say shocked.

Abu Camp is situated in a 160,000 hectare private concession on the western side of the Okavango Delta and Moremi Region. Six luxurious tents overlook a swampy lagoon where the elephants squelch and the birds twitter all day long. The suites are built on raised platforms and have en suite bathrooms with a separate shower, private verandahs, luxurious mahogany four-posters or sleigh beds and hints of Victorian antiquity.
Raised walkways connect the rooms to the main lodge, which is tucked under a broad canopy of ancient ebony and fig trees. The split level teak deck winds around the riverine forest and the living areas have sumptuous lagoon-facing sofas. The camp is surrounded by lagoons, channels and open grassland and the scenery, setting and abundant and varied species of wildlife offer a spell-binding African safari.
Abu Camp is one of Wilderness Safaris' Botswana lodges, which we recommend.

Pink doesn't stink!
There's been quite a bit in the press this week about PinkStinks, a campaign to stop the 'pinkification' of toys, clothes etc and to provide more positive role models for girls.
While I'm all in favour of encouraging girls and young women to fulfill their potential, I'm not sure why pink should be the target. I grew up as the daughter of a women's libber, yet I had Betnovate-pink walls in my bedroom (my choice). Didn't do me any harm. I also think that the women PinkStinks have chosen as positive role models – the likes of Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon, Annie Leibovitz – are I'm afraid too old to appeal to young girls or even most young women. The organisers say they want to celebrate women who are 'inspirational, motivational and ground-breaking'. But while I'm sure they wouldn't view the likes of Katie Price, the princess of pink, as a positive role model, she's an incredibly successful businesswoman.
Pink is also the colour of many breast cancer charities, including the Pink Ribbon Foundation which makes it a positive as far as I'm concerned.
So what do you think – does pink stink, or does it rock?

It isnt the colour that is the issue, its peoples attitudes as to stereotypes.. My boys have a pink buggy, I dont see an issue and neither does their Dad.
No, it's not the colour that's the issue, but they've chosen that to 'represent' the issue, and I do think there is an issue to be made. I have to say that I'm glad I have boys, because I do get a bit fed up with the surfeit of 'barbie' pink there seems to be everywhere. I have bought pink T-shirts for my boys, and had to explain to them that pink wasn't just for girls. So long as pink is a genuine choice, rather than being shov ved down your throat, I don't think anyone should have a problem with it.
@Jude @TheMadHouse – I agree that isn't the issue and there's an important issue to be made. I feel that by choosing 'pink' as the focus of their campaign, and the 'pinkification' (which I presume means the princessification – new word!) of toys and popular culture they're detracting from the real issues. And my nephew's absolute favourite colour is pink.
it suggests that a woman cannot be successful if she embraces her femininity. its a step back in time, when women sold their soul for success. we have moved on from that. These role models are indeed wonderful women, and all embrace their femininity and I am sure all of them enjoyed playing with dolls as children. We are lucky enough to live in a society where there is plenty of choice. The clothes and the toys my daughter plays with (many pink) do not define her. Her spirited character and loving nature does.
Pink does not stink. What should little girls wear? Black?
Never thought I'd say it, but now I have a girl we say pink ROCKS!
Pingback from littlemummy.com Littlemummy.Com » Young Female Role Models
Oh dear. I've been refraining from steaming in all week but yes, there's an issue here. Pink Stinks is a handy headline that's easy to dismiss as 'political correctness gone mad' but the underlying issue is a serious one. As parents, our job isn't just to blindly accept what retailers tell us our children want. Face it – they're only interested in selling twice as much product so it's entirely in their interest to tell us that little girls would prefer a pink sparkly baby walker because the red one we already own? Well, that's for boys, obviously. As parents, we need to really THINK about what messages the toys we buy children send – while I've nothing against Flea choosing to play princesses if the urge ever takes her, and I've watched her play happily with pushchairs, dolls and toy kitchens with no worries whatsoever, I do shy away from buying anything that is, in my view, unnecessarily pink and branded as being for 'girls'. How do I convincingly say to Flea "girls and boys can do exactly the same thing" and "girls can do anything that boys can do" if the toys I buy her are saying the complete opposite – that girls and boys are completely different to boys in every aspect of their lives, from learning to walk to reading, playing video games, learning instruments and even eating cereal, for God's sake. And I'll add that many of these so-called 'girls' toys' carry what I consider to be extremely limiting and harmful messages that box girls in, telling them that femininity equates to being cute, pretty, popular and (ideally) famous. Not in my book, missus. Femininity equates to being compassionate, brave, strong and truthful. Whether your hair slide matches your nail polish is naff all to do with it. There. That's my rant over!
Excellent points, Sally. I suppose from my perspective, having been raised in a household where I wasn't even allowed to wear white socks to school (I'm not kidding), the allure of pink may have been too much. The flip side of the whole debate, as someone said somewhere else, is that boys are inundated with camouflage and military-inspired toys. Does this make them aggressive? Or are the values they're taught at home more important? I'd argue the latter.
we love pink in this house (4girls obviously) but i don't force the colour on them i always let them choose what colour they want things in and most of the time they don't even pick pink. To be honest i love pink and if i saw a toy that was made in pink i would buy it just because it is a little different from the original design. Pink doesn't stink we all love it!!!
I don't really have a problem with the colour pink, but what I've noticed, more so each year, is that my daughter isn't particularly keen on pink but she does like girl's toys like buggies and dolls and such which makes them a nightmare to buy because Chloe's actually asked for a green buggy. Try finding one, seriously it can't be done. You can have any colour you like, as long as it's pink! What I really don't like and refuse to buy or allow in my home are dolls like Barbie and Bratz.
Love the Pink Stinks campaign, if for nothing else other than it has flagged a real issue about what we try and drive our children into, courtesy of the ever strengthening media and retail giants. Isn't it much easier to buy a present for your child's friend if she is a girl, if it is pink? No thought involved, no concern or consideration for what the child actually is like, prefers or does. Pink isn't the problem anymore than beige is (although we all know that is a real problem!) – the way retailers assume our stupidity and cash in on our lack of time and disposable income that annoys me the most. There is a true issue here and that is gender stereotyping, forcing children into liking something because it is pink! or not pink for that matter. At the very least, it has made us think, thank heavens!!

L'Oreal claims its Voluminous Superstar Mascara is a standout because it's a first-of-a-kind for the brand: A mascara and primer in a single product. But does that make much of a difference in the way your lashes look? The answer is yes… but not quite in the way L'Oreal advertises (more on that in a moment)!
In most aspects, this mascara is the same product as its waterproof counterpart (minus the waterproof part, of course). It's packaged in a large, double-ended tube; on one end is a white primer with a straight-bristled brush, the other holds the mascara, which has a curved brush. You're instructed to first coat lashes with the primer to volumize, then apply the mascara to add length and darken lashes.
We tried this a few times, and found neither the primer nor the mascara was particularly volumizing. If you're looking to add a full fringe to your upper lash line, you'll have to find another mascara!
Still, this is a good mascara because of its other qualities. Voluminous Superstar Mascara does an excellent job of separating and lengthening lashes. The primer coat does the separating, and makes it appear as though each individual lash is standing out. When the mascara is applied over it, quite a bit of length is added, making that a claim that this definitely does meet!
This wears well throughout a workday without fading, flaking, or smudging, and is easy to remove with your regular cleanser (the waterproof version requires makeup remover). Though the initial feeling when you put on both the primer and mascara is that lashes are slightly weighed down, once the formulas dry this isn't an issue. Lashes feel soft, not crunchy or stiff.
If L'Oreal had advertised Voluminous Superstar Mascara as being a lengthening and separating formula, it would have easily earned our highest rating, but volumized lashes just aren't its forte! Still, it's a good option, and one worth adding to your shopping list the next time you go to the drugstore.

L'Oreal Paris At-A-Glance
Strengths: Budget-friendly prices; good makeup removers; wide assortment of self-tanning options; one of the best, most comprehensive makeup collections at the drugstore, with superb options in almost every category; the mascaras are a tough act to follow.
Weaknesses: Jar packaging hinders some of the skincare formulas; many of their skincare formulas contain problematic amounts of fragrance and/or other irritants; exaggerated anti-aging claims.
L'Oreal's extensive makeup collection retains its stature as one of the better selections at the drugstore, though they have stiff competition from Revlon and, in some cases, sister company Maybelline New York. In recent years L'Oreal has made significant strides with foundation shades, powder textures, concealers, and, of course, superlative mascaras that rarely fail to impress. Their lipsticks are excellent and you will find many L'Oreal makeup products have a Lancome counterpart, and that the differences are minor—if there are any at all.
L'Oreal's displays in many drugstores reflect better-organized products and shade categories (though testers are still scarce). Given the number of lipsticks they sell, it only makes sense to put them in color families so consumers have a better shopping experience. Their True Match products are also sensibly laid out, but the rest of the foundations aren't as organized, likely due to the smaller selection of shades. Speaking of foundations, L'Oreal has made further strides by offering more that provide sufficient UVA protection. Revlon still has the edge for consistently launching impressive foundations with sunscreen, but at least L'Oreal is (finally) catching up.
The bottom line is that every category of L'Oreal's makeup has some winning (and in some cases, benchmark-setting) products.
Unfortunately, despite the brands' enormous presence in the beauty industry, L'Oreal's moisturizers and treatment products are a nearly all unremarkable and repetitive. When it comes to moisturizers or serums, just about anything from Dove, Olay, Neutrogena, or Aveeno is preferred. L'Oreal does well with most of their cleansers, along with scrubs and self-tanning products, but given the widespread availability and financial resources of this line, they could be doing so much more. The good news is their makeup has made major strides and now ranks as the best overall color collection at the drugstore—imagine the results if their skin care followed suit.

Rotten Sister.
I tried to shout at you and yell, but my weakness spilled down my face
With shaking hands, I fixed my mascara and hair back in place
You kept saying you don't think the way I do
I hated how It even hurt just to look up at you...
Then when I should have gotten up to walk away, to leave
You still continued to blindly lie and to deceive
And I couldn't bear the thought of leaving you this time, for good
Even though I know that after everything, I should run, I really should.
So I did what I should for once and took off each shoe,
Then I fled across the hard tarmac roads, away from you,
But in my head, friend you were there too and the weakness spilled some more
As each white lie and wasted moment into my bleeding soul tore
Apart who I was and I forgot how to breathe
This betrayal was too contrived to forgive or to conceive
Because It's just not you, Friend how could you think to.....
Friend, just....how could you.
Maybe underneath the sister I loved so much, she was rotten, bad
Because in the end, She'd broken my heart.
Just as much as he had.
