CALDY kicked off their 2014 campaign with a five try bonus point earning show at Paton Field.
It realised an eighth win of the season in National Two North League by a 31-18 margin over Leicester Lions.
The visitors had their bright moments but failed to breach the Caldy rearguard with all their points coming via penalties.
A Jonathon Boden kick for the Lions was the only score in the opening quarter but on 23 minutes steady Caldy pressure was rewarded with a Stuart Cross touch down.
Three penalties in seven minutes by Boden made it 5-12 but in the last move of the first half Matt Lowes powered over for the home side with the conversion by Richard Vasey levelling things out at 12-12.
Matt Van Sertima secured the third Caldy touch down three minutes after the re-start following good build up play after they took a line against the throw but another Boden penalty made it 17-15 on 52 minutes.
Caldy took full advantage of a Lions yellow card with Christian Jones touching down as the pack drove over from a line-out. Vasey added the goal but it was game on again as Boden landed his sixth kick for Leicester.
Any chance of a Lions success however ended on 72 minutes when full-back Andy Soutar appeared on the scene for try number five and the extras were claimed by Vasey after a twice taken kick.
There will be tougher games ahead for Caldy but they will be well pleased with his latest performance which saw them step over their opponents and others into eighth position in the table.
Wirral are two points clear at the top of North One West after a 49-14 victory over cross river rivals LSH.
They had the worst possible start as they conceded a second minute converted interception try but were soon in control to lead 27-7 at the half way stage thanks to a brace of touch downs from Alistair Baker, another from Sam Broadbent and a penalty try. James Annetts added two of the conversions and also a penalty.
A second converted score gave LSH hope soon after the break but Wirral were quick to assume control again.
Phil Donaldson raced clear from an interception and others to cross were Colin Dyer and Sam Edgar.
Broadbent kept the scoreboard ticking with another penalty and two goals and all in all it was a terrific performance.
Birkenhead Park remain their nearest rivals two points adrift. They were taken all the way by Kirby Lonsdale before scraping home 17-15 at the Upper Park.
Dave Hall kicked a 20th minute penalty for Park to cancel out an earlier kick by Lonsdale but the visitors took advantage of a home sin binning for a converted try in the second quarter.
A strong finish by Park to the opening half saw Dave Morgan put Hall in for an unconverted corner try before a brace of penalties by Hall made it 14-10 in th e third quarter.
It seemed Park had finally got the measure of hard working opposition but out of the blue the Lancashire outfit registered a 69 minute try to lead again before Hall saved the home blushes with a match winning kick five minutes from no side.
But they cannot afford another lack lustre show if they are to maintain their promotion push.
Runaway South Lancashire/Cheshire One leaders New Brighton returned to winning ways as they despatched Ruskin Park 39-0 at Hartsfield.
There was a six try show by the Blues with three of them credited to centre Vinnie Dutton.
Alex Pope, Jack Charlesworth and Joe Silcock also got in on the act. Anthony Birley hit a penalty and a conversion and Charlesworth two conversions.
It took the local side just a minute to open their account and it was 20-0 by the interval.
They soon ensured the bonus point in the second period and now have a commanding fourteen points lead over their nearest rivals.
There were defeats for Hoylake 8-13 against Sefton at Melrose Avenue and Anselmians 18-36 at West Park.
Port Sunlight comfortably took the Division Two derby against Wallasey 51-0 leaving the Cross Lane side still without a win this season.
Prenton in Division Three came away 34-10 to the good from Linley whilst Oldershaw registered a convincing 52-0 triumph.
There was defeat for Oxton Parkonians however 0-26 away to Buxton.
Caldy face a difficult away engagement against high riding Stourbridge this Saturday.
Wirral and Birkenhead Park are also on the road to Broughton Park and Leigh respectively.
Anselmians welcome Winnington Park with away fixtures for Hoylake at Douglas, Isle of Man and New Brighton at Tyldesley.
Other matches include Port Sunlight at Oswestry, Wallasey v Ramsey, Isle of Man, Ellesmere Port v Helsby and Prenton v Liverpool University.

It's hard enough to take a sexy photo of a bowl of soup but why the name, Cullen Skink?
The shock of the inhuman terrorist attacks in Paris last week have perhaps numbed us. But this year's Beaujolais Nouveau Wine Day 2015 has never been so symbolic this Thursday 19 November. Beaujolais producers affirm that their "wines are to be celebrated" and "they represent French conviviality and culture.
The moment of sharing this year is a strong symbol to show that France still stands strong and is proud of its values."
The French know how to continue their art de vivre and they need our support during this tough time – as locals and tourists alike are perhaps scared to venture out for a while in the Paris we love so much. After an exceptionally hot summer and a perfectly mature early harvest, the French have good reason to be proud. 2015 will apparently be an outstanding vintage and so it's time to celebrate wine in France and around the world.
Today nearly a third of Beaujolais production is sold as Beaujolais Nouveau. It's the first French wine to be released for each vintage year. Harvesting takes place late August to early September and the traditional Gamay Noir grapes (which make up 98% of Beaujolais wines) are fermented for only a few days then released on the third Thursday in November, a practise that has continued since 1985 by the Institut National des Appellations d'Origine (INAO).
Like Beaujolais Nouveau, Beaujolais basic reds are to be drunk within the year. They're real bistro wines in Paris, served slightly chilled and slightly blueish-light-purple in colour due to the Gamay grape, known for being light, fruity and easy-drinking.
This week also marks 24 years ago since I met my Frenchman. Antoine had just returned from a student Beaujolais Nouveau evening and so we quickly found a mutual conversation starter – admittedly I made him do most of the talking just to listen to his endearing, oh-là-là accent. Having blind-tasted the Scottish Wine Society's selection the previous evening – celebrated in true Frenchie style with the official jury arriving on bicycles, clad in onion-johnnys, berets, blue and white stripy nautical matelot jerseys – the best producer was unveiled with its pretty flowery label since it typically tasted of banana and bubble gum. Although my thoughts were leaning towards the highest category, the Beaujolais Cru wines.
When I explained to my new French-Corsican friend Antoine that evening about the 10 Crus (Brouilly, Régnié, Chiroubles; Côte de Brouilly, Fleurie, Saint-Amour; Chénas, Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin à Vent), and how some of them could keep up to 10 years in the bottle with no need to chill the red wine either – I'd somehow talked myself into a Frenchman's heart. We had an excuse to meet again and thankfully, we're still continuing the love of discovering of new wines together.
So to celebrate the perfect partner, here's a delicious recipe for chestnut pumpkin tarts that match well with the basic Beaujolais or the lighter to medium bodied crus. Inspired by my Corsican family who use chestnut flour in their cooking, I've added it to the pastry; the roasted pumpkin and mushroom filling is also good with any turkey leftovers.
You could also replace the mushrooms with left-over turkey, as the wines also partner very well with poultry.
Makes one large tart (28cm diameter) or 8 individual tartlets
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Resting Time: 2 hours
Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Chestnut Pastry
150g plain flour
100g chestnut flour
125g unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp water
1. Place all the ingredients in a food processor and mix until the dough forms a ball. Wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for an hour. Remove the dough from the fridge and leave to stand until room temperature, to make it easy to roll it out.
2. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface then using the pastry roller, wrap around the pastry to transfer it to the tart tin. Press it in to the sides then, again with the roller, roll over the top of the tin to clean up the edges. Keep in the fridge while preparing the filling.
350g pumpkin, roughly chopped into small chunks
3 tbsp olive oil
1 leek, white part, sliced finely
350g mushrooms, cut into big pieces
1 tbsp sage leaves, finely chopped
3 eggs
250g crème fraîche
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
salt & pepper
Parmesan shavings to serve (optional)
3. Preheat the oven to 180°C/360°F (gas 4). Place the pumpkin with half of the oil and sage in a roasting tin and roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, over medium heat, cook the leeks in the rest of the oil until translucent. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook. There's no need to add any more oil. Wait until the mushrooms give off their liquid and then set aside to cool slightly.
5. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, crème fraîche, nutmeg then season with salt and pepper.
6. Sprinkle the roasted pumpkin and sage over the tart base, top with the leek and mushrooms and pour over the creamy egg mix. Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes for a large tart (30 minutes if making tartlets).
So cheers to this year's vintage! Serve with this year's jam-packed Beaujolais Nouveau (apparently it's full of forest fruits on the nose!) or enjoy it at any time of year with a medium-bodied Cru: a Saint-Amour, a Fleurie, or a Côte de Brouilly and let's raise a toast to the French.

text: NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ Shares of several transportation companies rose on Friday, and one analyst laid out the case for why worries about transportation may be overdone. Stifel Nicolaus analyst David G. Ross wrote that industry growth at the moment is minimal, with retailers cautious and keeping inventories low, and West Coast imports slowing. Any easing of economic fears "should lead to a nice pickup in demand, in our opinion, as there is no housing bubble left to pop, no auto bubble left to pop, fuel prices have been declining (which is a decent tailwind for consumer spending), unemployment is relatively stable, borrowing rates are expected to remain low and the population is growing," he wrote. "That's why our fear of a recession is less than others. We could be wrong, but we still see more upside than downside over the next couple of years." Also, the economic uncertainty is causing trucking companies to limit capacity. That will help them keep prices higher for longer, he wrote. Even in the spring, as an economic recovery appeared under way, transportation companies including truckers and airlines were dealing with high fuel prices. Those prices appear to be falling now â¿¿ but they were driven lower by economic fears, which aren't helping transportation companies, either. Ross said good management, stable balance sheets, and strong positions in the industry should help FedEx Corp., Old Dominion Freight Line Inc., Heartland Express Inc., and Ryder System Inc. Swift Transportation Co. should benefit if the economy grows, he wrote. FedEx shares rose 72 cents to $80.60 in afternoon trading. Old Dominion rose $1.49, or 5 percent, to $32.49, Heartland Express rose 36 cents, or 2.6 percent, to $14.17, Ryder rose 83 cents to $46.43. Swift jumped 48 cents, or 6 percent, to $8.41. Other transportation shares rising included United Parcel Service Inc., up 65 cents to $65.37, and Union Pacific Corp., up 86 cents to $92.84.

Based on the information, detectives and deputies put the suspects under surveillance for three weeks until they had enough information to obtain search warrants for the locations where they believed the stolen property was being kept.
He said that two search warrants were served at two different addresses in the Lebanon area simultaneously on Thursday, July 15.
The search warrants drawn and executed were the result of a two-month long investigation into a rash of home burglaries in the southeastern part of the county. Several thousands of dollars worth of stolen property was recovered from both locations.
The stolen items included electronics such as computers, DVDs, household items such as vacuum cleaners and weapons, said Det. Robert Stafford.
The detectives noted that even with all the items that were recovered, they are still looking for additional stolen property. They said it will take time to match up the items with the reports they have on file from the burglaries committed during a two- to three-month period.
"We just have to go through all of that and match it up with the reports we have," Johnson said.
Stafford added, "It's not going to be a quick process. It takes time to track down the reports."
"Our Detective Division has done an outstanding job on this investigation along with our Patrol Division," Ashe said.
He expressed frustration that the crime of residential burglaries does not seem to be taken more seriously by the General Assembly. "The only thing that makes them (the home burglaries) less violent is you weren't at home" when it happened. "If there's mandatory time for a DUI, there should be mandatory time for breaking into a house," Ashe said.

Summer Squash Lattice Tart
Diced yellow summer squash, zucchini, and leeks are tossed in butter, seasoned, and topped with Gruyere cheese. The mixture fills a flaky tart crust and is topped with more squash, woven in a lattice pattern.
- Servings: 6
Source: Martha Stewart Living, March 2001
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Summer Squash Lattice Tart
- 2 medium green zucchini
- 2 medium yellow squash
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large leeks, white parts only, cut into 1/3-inch dice
- 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese (1 ounce)
- 1 large whole egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Have ready a 14-by-4 1/2-inch bottomless rectangular tart form or one with a removable bottom on a parchment-lined baking sheet. On a lightly floured surface, roll pate brisee dough into a 7-by-16-inch rectangle. Fit the dough into the mold, and trim the sides flush with the top of the mold. Transfer the shell to the freezer to chill for 20 minutes.
Remove the shell from the freezer, prick bottom with a fork, and line with parchment paper cut to fit. Fill with dried beans or metal pie weights. Bake until the crust is just beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, and remove beans or weights. Return the crust to the oven, and bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven, and set aside on a wire rack.
Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, very thinly slice 1 green zucchini and 1 yellow squash lengthwise. Place slices in a colander in a single layer, and sprinkle lightly with salt. Place colander in a bowl, and set aside to drain for 30 minutes.
Cut the remaining zucchini and squash into 1/3-inch dice. In a large skillet, melt butter over high heat. Add leeks and diced squash, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown but still firm, about 8 minutes. Evenly distribute cooked vegetables in the crust. Sprinkle Gruyere on top.
Place salted squash slices between double layers of paper towels. Gently press down to remove as much liquid as possible. Alternating squash colors, weave a lattice pattern over the top of the cheese and vegetables, covering the entire surface. Trim or tuck in ends to fit.
In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, egg yolk, and cream, and season with salt and pepper. Lift the edges of the lattice in several places, and pour in the egg mixture. Using a pastry brush, coat the lattice with olive oil. Bake, loosely covered with aluminum foil, until the custard is set, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove lattice tart from oven, and place on a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

MS11261126130 JUL, 2012i am typically not one to moan and groan about prep, but good grief this was an involved recipe. absolutely delicious, but i will only pull this out for very special occassions and when i have nothing but time on my hands.Reply
Tiffany Bickel3 JUN, 2012I've been making this recipe for years and my whole family loves it. I splurge for special occasions and make it the original way, but often I make a healthy version where I substitute phyllo dough for the puff pastry and fat free greek yogurt for the heavy cream- and it's still delicious- just a bit less indulgent!Reply
kdka302 AUG, 2011Gorgeous! I can't wait to make this.Reply

Michelle Rodriguez pleaded guilty April 25, 2006 in Hawaii to one count of driving under the influence and chose to pay a $500 fine and spend 5 days
Michelle Rodriguez pleaded guilty to DUI charges in Hawaii Tuesday April 25th, 2006. The "Lost" actress was offered a choice by a Kane'ohe District Court judge, between 240 hours of community service or five days in jail. And at last the beauty decided to choose the jail time while also is ordered to pay a $500 fine.
Steve Barta, an attorney for Rodriguez, said his client's decision to serve jail time as "a personal choice and would suspect that because she has a hard time even going out for a meal without being intruded upon for an autograph or photograph, it's really difficult for her to do community service". And so, her sentence began Tuesday, although she was first allowed to go home to gather some necessities.
As for you to know, Rodriguez and co-star Cynthia Watros were arrested in separate incidents within minutes of each other last December on suspicion of driving under the influence. While Watros pleaded guilty in January, fined $370 and lost her license for 90 days, Rodriguez opted to stand trial.

Environment Ministry Applauds Women's Contribution
Environment Ministry Applauds Women's Contribution
The Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Disaster Management and Meteorology (MECDM) has applauded women throughout the country for their contribution towards natural resource management on the eve of the International Women's Day which is celebrated every year on March 8.
In a statement on behalf of the Minister and staff of the Ministry today, Permanent Secretary Dr Melchior Mataki said women across the country have made invaluable contributions towards resource management in the face of changing climate and weather patterns, reoccurring natural disasters and rapidly changing socioeconomic conditions.
Every year March 8 has been set aside to recognize women's achievements and invaluable contribution to their families, communities, businesses, schools, churches, non-government organizations and provincial and national governments.
Women account for about 50% of Solomon Islands total population.
Solomon Islands women have the (traditional) daily roles of being mothers, food growers/collectors, fuel gatherers and care-givers thus environmental challenges such as biodiversity loss, rising sea levels, natural disasters such as cyclones, flooding, and tsunami events affect them and subsequently their families and the country as a whole.
"We recognize and acknowledge the commitment of all women in the country working to meet the goals and objectives of the Government and in particular MECDM. We shall continue to improve our partnership with women leaders and our women-folk in implementing our activities," Mr Mataki said.

Determination, discipline and perseverance are what define an athlete, and Ashley Wilson knows just how much of each it takes to succeed in the sport of gymnastics.
The Copperas Cove Junior High seventh-grader dedicates long hours to thousands of repetitions for each skill, competitions on weekends away from friends and family, and of course, battling minor injuries inherent to the sport.
state championship
As a member of the Royals gymnastics team at GymKix, Ashley said she spends 16 hours a week in the gym and faces defending her state championship title May 9.
As a competitive gymnast, Ashley's favorite event is the floor exercise. During the state championship meet in 2013, she was awarded the all-around title for vault, bars, beam and floor exercise as a "level six" — her greatest achievement so far, she said.
left arm in cast
But now, Ashley is not sure if she will be able to compete. Her left arm is in a cast and the question is: Will she be healed in time to take to the mat?
"I have hurt myself before, but not this bad. The doctors don't know if it is broken or fractured," she said.
Head coach Cory Smith said Ashley has battled back before. Earlier this year, she was stricken with mononucleosis that prevented her from training for more than 30 days.
Smith said the day after the doctor cleared Ashley to train, she attended a competition in Whitney.
sheer determination
By sheer determination, she completed all four events and achieved the qualifying score required to advance to the optional level of gymnastics.
"The average athlete could not have accomplished what she did to overcome that illness so fast, let alone achieve what she did at that meet. She went there determined to reach her goal and walked away qualified for the next level," Smith said.
Ashley has been involved in gymnastics since age 2 and was one of the founding Royals team members in 2009.
She is a member of the GymKix Junior Staff program where she has taught recreational gymnastics classes three times a week for the last two years.
She even coaches her younger sister in the program.
"Before she always thought of me as her big sister and that she did not have to listen to me. But the coaching has actually brought us closer," Ashley said.

- Australian Prime Minister
Protect Aboriginal Land
The NSW Aborigines Welfare Board controlled Aboriginal lives until the 1960s, pursuing policies that are now acknowledged as having contributed to the destruction of Aboriginal families and society by separating children from their parents. These children became known as 'the stolen generations' and are still searching for their families. They now number between 15,000 and 20,000 in NSW alone. During the First World War, some four to five hundred Aboriginal people enlisted in the armed forces. During this time, the State government continued to remove Aboriginal children from their families, including youngsters whose fathers were serving overseas.
Take action and protect Aboriginal families.

KENNY Dalglish will never forget how it felt to win the Premier League title with Blackburn Rovers.
Ask him to list the highlights of that incredible 1994/95 season and he does not need even a split second to think, perhaps to reflect back on that campaign and ponder which games were most significant in Rovers' rise to glory.
In fact, he needs only one word.
Even down the phone, as he speaks to the Lancashire Telegraph from a holiday in Spain, you can sense the smile that has just flickered across his face and the emotion that still comes with that single word.
As much as there were many great moments that season, for Dalglish that final day of the season at Anfield will always stand so far above all else. There need only be one highlight, so perfect was it.
A Liverpool legend as a player and manager, returning to his old club to achieve one of the most remarkable feats in the recent history of English football.
"It was very poignant," he reflects.
"Anfield was the second best place to win it. The first would have been at home in front of our fans."
But, however special it undoubtedly was for the man who managed Rovers to glory, Dalglish will always insist that the greatest joy was not his.
"If it felt special for me and the players, imagine how it felt for those people who had been there for the hard times at the club, the people who had seen everything," he admits.
"It was about the unsung heroes. Bill Fox unfortunately didn't live long enough to see it all, but there were other people on the board who had worked so hard for the club."
Fox passed away in December 1991, just two months after the Rovers chairman had helped to convince Dalglish to become Rovers manager.
The club were starting to make progress following years of financial struggle, which saw them spend five seasons in the third tier in the 1970s.
Much of that progress was down to Jack Walker, the steel magnate whose funds catapulted Rovers to the very top of English football.
Walker died in 2000, but he was at Anfield to see Rovers win the Premier League five years earlier.
Dalglish will always feel honoured to have realised Walker's ultimate ambition.
"It was a dream for him," the Scot says. "He had such passion for the club and perhaps more importantly he had a desire to put his hard-earned money into the club.
"He had a willingness to invest in the stadium and the training ground facilities as well.
"It's easy to go and support the big teams, but he was a Blackburn boy.
"It couldn't have happened without Jack."
Dalglish, though, is always keen to qualify that assertion.
Rovers spent money and plenty of it on their way to the Premier League title. That is something he has never denied.
But Dalglish, a man who won three European Cups and eight titles with Liverpool, understands better than most what it takes to achieve success in the game.
Money helps, but you need much more too.
"Yes, we did spend some money but it wasn't all about the money," he insists. "It wasn't about what I did, either. It was about the players.
"They were just a fantastic group of players and there was such a great camaraderie between them.
"In any great team no-one can think they're above anyone else.
"The players weren't overpaid like some people said, because there were players at other clubs getting more.
"And even if that hadn't been the case, they deserved every penny."
Dalglish made many great signings during his time at Rovers.
Colin Hendry, Mike Newell, Tim Sherwood, Stuart Ripley, Henning Berg, Kevin Gallacher, Graeme Le Saux, David Batty, Tim Flowers, Chris Sutton, the list goes on.
He will not single out any one individual himself, for many perhaps the name of Alan Shearer stands out the most.
"Alan was fantastic for us on and off the pitch and he was an attraction when we brought more players in," Dalglish says.
"It wasn't just about goals, although by the way he certainly passed that examination!
"But it was how he was off the field as well, how he spoke to people in the dressing room.
"He was a fantastic player but when he spoke to people he was the same as anyone else.
"He just had this presence, this aura."
Many have said the same about Dalglish over the years. Greatness inspires more greatness, and so it proved at Rovers.
Promoted to the Premier League in 1992, they did not need long to adapt to the league.
Shearer made his mark instantly with a brace on his debut on the opening day of the season at Crystal Palace, both memorably coming from long range.
"We drew 3-3 at Crystal Palace on the opening day and then beat Arsenal at home," Dalglish remembers.
"We finished fourth in that first year in the Premier League, then went from fourth to second the second year, which is a massive jump to do that.
"We just ran out of legs in that second season, we had a few injuries and we ran out of legs.
"But it was still a great achievement to finish second.
"Then in the third year our dream was fulfilled."
Rovers missed out to Manchester United by eight points in 1993/94, but Dalglish insists it was not a case of turning any disappointment the players might have felt into motivation.
"We were never short of motivation," he says.
"But when we finished second we weren't far away."
Rovers were fourth in the table after losing 4-2 at home to Manchester United early in the 1994/95 campaign.
But then came seven straight wins to catapult them to the top of the table, in no small part thanks to the original SAS strike partnership – Shearer and Sutton took the Premier League by storm long before Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge came together at Liverpool.
Shearer's goal gave Rovers victory at home to Newcastle on the 50th anniversary of VE Day in their penultimate match of the season, putting them two points clear of Manchester United going into the final game of the season.
All was going well when Shearer put Rovers ahead on the last day at Liverpool, before John Barnes equalised.
Rovers anxiously looked to Upton Park for news of Manchester United's match at West Ham.
A win would have given United the title, but they were drawing 1-1.
Jamie Redknapp's late free kick put Liverpool 2-1 up, but within moments Rovers were celebrating.
The final whistle had gone at West Ham.
United had failed to secure victory.
Rovers would win the title by one point.
"Between Liverpool scoring and hearing the news, it was seconds, it wasn't long," Dalglish remembers.
"Someone said that the other game had finished, but the television people wouldn't tell us.
"Then we found it had definitely finished – all while our players were still out on the pitch playing.
"For it to happen at Anfield, the end of that game is definitely the moment that stands out for me.
"It doesn't matter what the margin is, even if it's a small margin.
"You've achieved it."

# 34 - Mirenesse Lip Bomb Glossy Lip Lacquer
This Mirenesse Lip Bomb Glossy Lip Lacquer is THE best lipstick I have ever used and I seriously love it. The feel and smell of it on my lips was so nice. Buying it on sale was so worth it. My lip was chapped and dry from an allergy but when I applied this lip bomb for a few days, voila... the skin healed. I would definitely recommend it to my daughters and friends.

# 27 - intense!
very deep intense colour, not for the fainthearted! i hv typical yellow toned asian skin and felt that this intense orange hue makes me look darker while deep purple/ red hues make my complexion look fairer and more lucid. thought yellow based colours shd compliment my skin tone instead of blue ones... oh well! still a nice try and nice quality overall

# 02 - Great lipgloss
This is a great lip gloss, does not dry the lips and the color stays put for most of the day. I really appreciate that it is very pigmented, with a subtle glittery effect that makes the colors very unique.

# 35 - Dramatic colour
The first time I put this on, I had a shock as the colour (35) was really dramatic! However, once I wiped some off and smudged it with my fingertips, the colour toned down to a lovely fuchsia which was completely gone after a lunch of sushi.

# 35 - seriously pink stain
Unlike most other brands, the colour when applied is as you see it from the bottle. I find it is too thick to apply when applied directly using the brush, instead, I dab a little onto my fingers and spread it onto my lips and cheeks when using it as a lip and cheek stain. The colour spreads very easily and has long staying power.

# 35 - shocking pink lip lacquer
Recommended by a friend to purchase this lip lacquer. The colour really stands out on my fair skin and the colour stays on really well. When you put it on, it gives you those minty feel which feels refreshing. This could last you for at least more than half a day without reapplying. This is one of the mirenesse star products and I really love it.

# 02 - Beautiful colour
This is my first red lip stain and although I was a little nervous about wearing it for fear it was going to be too bright the Lip Bomb Glossy Lip Lacquer Staind in #2 turned out to be a beautiful colour. It has a nice velvety finish and a little bit goes a long way. The only thing I found was it slip outside my lips, which is why I've given it 4 stars instead of 5.

# 02 - Not your ordinary lip gloss!
This product is definitely great one. It can be worn alone as a lipsticks because it is extremely pigmented. The colors are exactly what you see outside the tube. A little product goes a long way, and it does not slip outside my lips. It has the right stickiness to it, and it smells good too. Feels comfortable to wear and low-maintenance.

# 35 - The best lip lacquer I've tried!
I love the lip bombs so much! They are highly pigmented, smooth and glides on easily on my lips. The lip bombs also smell minty and fresh. It stays for a long time on my lips, and it is not goopy or sticky. It feels so comfortable when worn and I highly recommend it!

Sonia bourdon
I tried this the minute I received it from Luxola. I applied it to my lips and ohhh mama, can you say this is the BOMB? Heck yeah I can! The applicator to this lip product is absolutely and wonderfully unique, it is hard but soft and has a rounded end that makes it easy to apply. The color of this read is fantastic, definitely flatters my skintone and my teeth look so damn white! I love it. It's a dark classic red and it applies like a liquid lipstick, but glossy. I am impressed!

The 'Pacific Rim' helmer says he turned down the chance to direct the big space saga film, but hopes that Brad Bird could tackle the prestigious job.
Turns out Guillermo del Toro was one of the notable filmmakers approached to direct "Star Wars Episode 7". The "Pacific Rim" helmer himself opened up that he declined the offer to helm the massive gig despite the fact that he was one of fans' most favorite candidates.
To The Playlist, del Toro admitted that "we got one phone call to my agent saying, 'Is Guillermo interested?' " He went on explaining the reason he turned down the offer, "And basically I have so much stuff already of my own, and I'm pursuing stuff that I'm generating already."
del Toro claimed that he's too occupied with his other directorial projects, but confessed that he's happy to be approached for the much-talked-about space saga project. "It was very flattering," he said. "It was just a phone call, it didn't go past that, it was very nice to be asked, but believe it or not, I'm busy enough."
While he couldn't tackle the coveted directing job, the "Hellboy" helmer thought it would be great if Brad Bird was tapped to do it. "I think the fans deserve somebody that is just going to immerse themselves completely," he gushed. "As a geek, I would have loved to see Brad Bird take it."
"Star Wars Episode 7" has tapped Michael Ardnt to provide the script, but still hasn't found a director. Many filmmakers had turned down the opportunity to direct the film previously. They included J.J. Abrams, Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino and Zack Snyder. The movie is expected to come out in 2015 and words are, the story will take place after the events in "Star Wars Episode VI: The Return of Jedi".

text: Show Hide image 25 March 2014 Michael Gove loves "chap-hop", did a rap in praise of Toby Young There's appropriation, and then there's the education secretary spitting some bars in praise of a friend's free school project in West London. And what the hell is "chap-hop", anyway? Print HTML The education secretary, it seems, has a secret love of hip-hop – but, importantly, only when performed by annoying white people. This, if you've never heard of it before, is "chap-hop": That's Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer, the progenitor of this most Home Counties of music genres. The Mail on Sunday revealed on the weekend that Michael Gove is a big fan: "I have a soft spot for contemporary English 'eccentric' music. I liked Neil Innes and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band ... and am strangely addicted to 'chap-hop' rappers Professor Elemental, Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer and Mr Bruce And The Correspondents." There's a direct line from the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band's jokey '60s music to contemporary chap-hop, which combines the song structures of rap with lyrics about hunting, tea, pipes, tweed and the Marquess of Queensbury rules. It's a kind of cabaret gag at heart, and finds fans from demographics ranging from Tories (who are at home with its nostalgia for the Empire and Queen Victoria) to steampunks. Its audience is pretty loyal, too – Mr B has managed to release five albums over the last six years. Here's Professor Elemental rapping about owning a horse: So, yes, it's awful. But the most crucial detail about Gove's fandom was revealed by the Sun yesterday: he doesn't just listen to chap-hop, he does chap-hop. He is a chap-hoppist. Michael Gove. Rapper. Yes, it gets worse. "I was rapping in praise of Toby Young, whose West London Free School has just been ranked by Ofsted as having outstanding features," he said. Kirstie Allsopp was there. She said it was "very entertaining". We don't have video of this event (thankfully), so instead here's a gif of Gove falling over, forever: › We need more racial diversity on the stage both sides of the pond I'm a mole, innit.

Lack of impact in Batman´s appearence scenes

Re: Lack of impact in Batman´s appearence scenes
I agree Batman's first appearance had lots of great moments. Him blacking out the lights - just how he likes things, shadowy and controlled. Driving past at speed and snatching a bike rider clean off his seat - then using the EMP gun to stop another bike. Even though the young cop shoots the device, the glare Batman gives clearly says back off, and the cop does. The power of reputation and presence.
Later on using the batpod as a barrier to knock off a rider and punch him in the helmet. Really like the Molossus cue when Bats is holding onto the tablet. However, Batman charging hordes of oncoming police cars, ducking into an alley seemingly cornered and emerging in the Bat takes the cake for me. Pure Batman.

Game's Night, a very popular night in our household, the favourite being Mononpoly. However, how many of you have Game's Night turn into Fright Night because of missing pieces and lost instructions, or not even being able to find the board games to even start Game's Night?
What is meant to be an enjoyable night of fun and learning, can turn into tears and frustration, but with a little organization and management you can turn this around. Look upon this exercise as a family game in itself.
First steps first.
- Locate all board games and puzzles (make it fun like a treasure hunt)
- Decide which games/puzzles are still appropriate for all ages.
- Donate/sell games that are intact but are not played anymore.
- Recycle/trash any broken or incomplete games/puzzles.
- Find a PERMANENT place to keep ALL your board games/puzzles.
Once this part is acheived, and broken boxes have been fixed with tape etc, you make sure ALL the parts stay with the games they came from.
I know from experience how worthwhile this part of the process is. I grew up in a military family where moving was sometimes a yearly occurrence, and I know my dad still has our Monopoly,Scrabble, Snakes and Ladders and Frustration games from the 1970's.
My mum would write our family name on each part of the box and game, and corral the pieces in plastic bags with elastic bands to hold them shut.(pre ziploc bags). The same process was done for puzzles, including a description of the puzzle on a piece of paper kept within one of the bags.
These days digital technology makes this process a whole lot easier. Digital photos can be taken of the puzzle instead of a written description, and don't forget to write on the ziploc bags to which games the pieces belong.
I now have a notebook on Evernote listing all the board games we have, if you use Pinterest you could have them on a board there instead.
I know this seems like a lot of work, but believe me you will thank yourselves the next time Game's Night rolls around. In the long run it will save you money, not having to replace incomplete board games.
This process is even more important if you have a cat or a dog, believe me no one wants to wait for the next time your pet poops to find the scrabble letter P!
Happy Game's Night everyone!

The Act authorized the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) to set standards for drinking water to protect against both naturally-occurring and man-made contaminants that may be found in drinking water. The Act also allowed the EPA to develop minimum federal requirements for Underground Injection Control.
Enacted in 1972 as the first comprehensive national clean water law, the goal of the CWA was to "restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters."

Hydraulic Fracturing "Fracking" - Hydraulic fracturing is the injection of fluid under pressure to facilitate the production of oil and natural gas.
Produced Water – The briny solution contained in reservoirs of oil and gas is known as "formation water." During drilling, a mixture of oil, gas, and formation water is pumped to the surface. The water is separated from the oil and gas into tanks or pits, where it is referred to as "produced water."

Elk River picked up its third straight girls basketball win, this one at the Monticello holiday tournament, 58-42 over Minneapolis Washburn on Tuesday afternoon.
"We had a tale of two halves, with pretty good offense in the first half, and good defense and not much offense in the second half," reflected coach Reed Caouette.
The Elks (3-4) will face Becker (3-4) in the semifinals 5:45 p.m. Wednesday followed by Dassel-Cokato vs. Monticello.
Elk River led 32-27 at halftime, and pulled away in the second half despite shaky field goal shooting.
At the line, they were pretty good, 20-for-30. Ironically the only Elk who struggled at the line was their scoring leader, Victoria Jenson.
The Elks kept funneling the ball inside to Jenson, 5-foot-10 senior post, and she laid in 17 points, although just 5-for-12 at the line. Six teammates combined for a 15-for-18 mark at the line with Shelby Gracik 4-for-4.
Holly Skalsky dropped in three 3-pointers and totaled 11 points.
Chase Coley, a slender and slipper 6-foot-2 sophomore, scored 19 points for the Millers (5-4) and blocked several shots. She's the daughter of coach Tyler Coley.
Becker beat Albany 50-40, Dassel-Cokato beat Sauk Rapids-Rice 52-34 and Monticello stopped Princeton 65-42.
Elk scoring – Victoria Jenson 17, Holly Skalsky 11, Shelby Gracik 7, Anna Rollag 6, Dani Detloff 6, Michelle Botts 4, Jordyn Sohns 3, Mikayla Macomber 2, Dani Edwards 2

Power Rankings Week 21
POSTED: Mar 25, 2013 10:40 AM ET
The streaking Heat are firmly entrenched at No. 1, winning even when Dwyane Wade doesn't suit up.
While it may not feel like it in some parts of the United States, spring is officially here. A look at the standings shows that nine teams have clinched playoff spots. And a look at the team stats shows that 20 teams have played at least 70 games.
So yeah, it's time to start getting excited about the playoffs. It's time to start looking at potential first-round matchups. And it's time to make sure you don't have anything scheduled for April 20th and 21st, when the postseason tips off.
Of course, the Miami Heat will keep us mostly focused on the here and now. They're just seven games from history and face two serious tests this week, visiting the Bulls on Wednesday and the Spurs on Sunday. And if you've been paying attention, you know that San Antonio is the team most qualified to knock them off, both in the regular season and, if both teams make it there, in June.
Last week: With a month-plus left, Heat still streaking, still a firm No. 1
This time last year: Thunder pass the first test -- Kevin Love dropped 51 points on OKC, but Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined for 85 in the same game. The Thunder won that one and also beat the Heat by 15. And the Hawks beat the Jazz in the only quadruple-overtime game of the last 16 years.
Hero Team of the Week: Denver (4-0) -- The Nuggets' streak continued with an impressive win in Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
Zero Team of the Week: Cleveland (0-3) -- The Cavs sandwiched their collapse to the Heat with a 21-point loss to the Pacers and a 38-point loss in Houston.
Plus-minus Studs: George Hill (IND) was a plus-65 in four games last week.
Plus-minus Dud: Daniel Gibson and Luke Walton (CLE) were each a minus-56 in three games last week.
High jumps of the week: Philadelphia (+5), Houston (+3), Portland (+3)
Free falls of the week: Boston (-4), Minnesota (-3), Five teams (-2)
East vs. West: The West is 245-175 (.583) against the East in interconference games this season and was 13-9 last week.
Toughest schedules through Sunday: 1. Minnesota, 2. Golden State, 3. New Orleans
Easiest schedules through Sunday: 1. Indiana, 2. Atlanta, 3. Miami
Schedule strength is based on cumulative opponent record, and adjusted for home vs. away and days of rest before a game.

Chris Brown is eying collaboration with Madonna and Coldplay for his upcoming LP "Grafitti" as a "stepping stone" for him to become a superstar.
Grammy-nominated R 'n' B singer Chris Brown is eying a collaboration with Madonna, whom he claims as his dream duet, for his upcoming album "Grafitti". Besides, he also reveals his desire to work together with Coldplay for the effort, which is planned for 2009 release.
On the red carpet at the 36th annual American Music Awards (AMAs), held Sunday, November 23 at Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre, Chris told the press, "It's going to be my stepping stone from Chris Brown to superstar." He didn't give further details on his upcoming album though.
Chris Brown was a triple winner at the weekend's AMAs, nabbing the awards for the categories of Favorite Male Pop/Rock Artist, Favorite Male Soul/R&B Artist, and Artist of the Year. "I don't know what to say. I would have given it to Coldplay," so he said expressing his surprise upon winning big at the event.
"Grafitti" is the third studio album of Chris and a follow up to his two previous LPs, "Chris Brown" (2005) and "Exclusive" (2007). Among the artists with whom he has collaborated are Rihanna, Jordin Sparks, and David Banner.

Offering patrons the opportunity to sample a smorgasbord of eastern Queens' flavors in a convenient setting, Taste of Bayside will return Jan 25.
Twenty-five restaurants have already signed up for the epicurean event, which will be held at the Adria Hotel & Conference Center on Northern Boulevard from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Bayside Business Association President Judy Limpert said she expects more eateries to sign on in the following weeks.
"We ask restaurants to bring their signature dish. People can come and sample restaurants, desserts, bake shops, beer and wine," she said. "Typically we have between 25 and 30, but we do get more coming on toward the end."
The annual tasting got its start, she said, after street festivals were banned on Bell Boulevard due to a poor reputation generated by the rowdy and raucous events. Afterward, the BBA was looking for a way to exhibit the boulevard's eateries.
"We used to always focus a lot on Bell Boulevard's restaurant row. There are many fine dining restaurants going back years and years and years. We always thought it would be a focus to showcase them," Limpert said.
"It expanded from Bell Boulevard to all over Bayside, from Francis Lewis [Boulevard] down to the Long Island Expressway to Anthony's down on Union Turnpike," she said. "11360, 11361 and 11364 — all the zip codes in Bayside."
The title may be a bit of a misnomer, though, as Strawberry's Sports Grill in Douglaston will make its debut at the event this year. Other newcomers such as Valentino's on the Green, Surfside Beach and Maria's Trattoria will join stalwarts like Bourbon Street, Papazzio and C.J. Sullivan's American Grill.
Limpert said, "2011 was not a good year for quite a few restaurants, I'm hearing," as patrons chose to cut back on eating out.
"I guess people have the mindset .... I don't know that anyone actually has less money unless they lost their job, but the mindset is they're afraid to spend it," she said. "Eating out is one of the luxuries all Americans do, and I think they pulled back a little."
Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 at the door.
"You can taste anything you want from any restaurant. For $30, it's amazing what you're going to get," Limpert said. "You almost can't eat all of it!"
For information and tickets, visit tastequeens.com or call 718-261-3517.

|This document has a number of decorative elements, but all of them have a particular significance.
|The historiated initial T depicts the ceremonial ratification of the agreement. The chancellor with his minions sits on the left while the abbot, complete with mitre, sits with his tonsured monks on the right. In the centre stands a book on a lectern, presumably representing the agreements themselves. The way it is depicted, with the priest standing in front of it, is reminiscent of images of priests reading or chanting the liturgy in church, with a large and weighty Bible or missal in front of them.
|The whole composition is one of those "life imitates art imitates life" type of reflexive images so intriguingly found in medieval art. The association of the act of finalising the agreement with an image itself associated with solemn sacred ritual imbues the whole legal process with the significance of liturgical acts. In other words, if the king has any ideas about not honouring his agreements, he is being reminded of what he is dealing with!
|The royal arms adorns the head of the page. The king had his own symbolism for displaying his temporal significance. The arms of England and France are present.
|There are several representations of a portcullis, which was a personal badge of Henry VII. It is found on collars on funerary sculptures of his knightly followers, and is festooned all over Kings College Chapel, Cambridge. It is said to represent the freeing of England from its incarceration by the evil Richard III, but that might be just one of those stories.
|During the long period of civil violence known as the Wars of the Roses, the Yorkists took the emblem of the white rose and the Lancastrians the red rose. Every school kid knew that once. Henry Tudor, on becoming king of England, used a red and white rose as the symbol of the Tudor dynasty and the reuniting of Britain. Then he got the idea that he was King Arthur and things got all very symbolically confused, not to mention historically garbled. Pity we can't actually see what colour these roses are.

Pretty cool
Here's a new video for you from our Swedish artist Walle Wahlgren playing his version of Robyn's "Be mine".
Walle has been a Meinl artist since 2010 and so far we haven't posted any of his videos yet. I hope he'll keep making them as I really like his drumming a lot in that clip. My favourite drumpart starts at 2:11min when he starts to play some nice rolls and fills all over his kit along with some great cymbal work :-) Still the whole video is great I think.
The cymbals Walle is using in that clip are (from left to right):
- Byzance 14" Traditional Thin Hihat
- Byzance 17" Brillian Thin Crash
- Byzance 22" Dark Ride
- Generation X 12"/14" Benny Greb Signature Trash Hat
- Byzance 20" Extra Dry Thin Crash
Check out and listen to his set up on our SoundCheck WebApp, or go to his artist profile for more info about Walle.

Entropic basis of the Pareto law
Based on the assumption that certain economies achieve quasi-equilibrium, an appropriate economic statistical thermodynamics is formulated in which entropy emerges naturally. Under the assumption that the small group of high income agents, whose income distribution satisfies Pareto's law, does not much interact with the larger group of lower income agents, the corresponding statistical thermodynamic relations are applied in order to derive the Pareto law. The derivation requires the assumption that the sum of logarithms of the incomes of the individual agents (or the product of incomes) in this group is conserved. A strong plausibility argument for this assumption is presented. It also turns out (in accordance with intuition) that in order to increase the average income of an agent more "risk" in the form of greater entropy production must be assumed. Other consequences are discussed, and an experimental demonstration of the uniformity of economic temperature in a system, at economic equilibrium, is presented.

Many Turkish commentators are sharply critical of the trial of celebrated novelist Orhan Pamuk, fearing that it will damage the country's image abroad and its chances of joining the European Union.
Some also lament the behaviour of nationalist demonstrators who pelted Mr Pamuk's car with eggs, and argue that Turkey must show greater commitment to free speech.
But others accuse the EU of interfering in Turkey's internal affairs.
The very existence of such a case is shameful for Turkish democracy and Turkey's image... By 7 February [the date of the next hearing], the political powers must decide: Do they want an authoritarian country or an open society?
In the Orhan Pamuk case, we have shot ourselves in the foot!
We are judging ourselves... Some of our prosecutors and judges are utterly incapable of adapting to the legal reforms for the Copenhagen criteria and the practices of the European Court of Human Rights... This vicious circle must be broken.
How many writers are there in the world whose books have been translated into 40 languages? The real pressure on those who say, 'the EU wants to break us up, force us to accept the Armenian genocide, and put pressure on us by using Orhan Pamuk as an excuse' is the vice in their own heads.
With the extreme nationalist reaction, the limits on the right to demonstrate are being ignored and 'the lynching culture' promoted. Attacks with stones and eggs on the car that brought Mr Pamuk show the level of the violence. This case has harmed Turkey.
The debacle of a handful of louts, whose only recourse against those who espouse ideas they oppose is violence, will be a part of 'Turkey's image'.
We must learn, adapt ourselves first and foremost to freedom of expression. Some people will freely express their thoughts and we will put up with those thoughts no matter how incongruous they are. We will not try to beat, kill or imprison those who have advanced them.
Even though we did not like what he thinks and says, Orhan Pamuk must like everyone else be able to speak his mind freely. The real court to which he will be held to account is the public conscience. Let us leave the case to be decided there.
The suit that was brought against Mr Pamuk is meaningless and unfounded; it must be ended as soon as possible. Besides, it is unfair because the shades of opinion on the Armenian genocide are gradually becoming more diverse.
They attended the case yesterday as the EU team; they took their places near the novelist... This is pressure on the judiciary. Let me tell you the verdict that will be given:... 'Pamuk will not be tried.' Thus, they [government members] will ensure that they are forgiven by the EU delegation.
The EU... is interfering in the internal affairs of this country impudently. A country with pride cannot endure such insults with resignation.

I've been hearing about some great companies from other natural beauty bloggers lately, and Primavera is among these lovely few. They recently sent me a few products from their moisturizing line of face care to try, and I ended up loving every last one of them! Today I'll be reviewing one of the products they sent, which is the Neroli Cassis Moisturizing Lip Balm. You can expect reviews of the remaining two products on Thursday and Friday. : )
Ingredients (provided at primaveralife.com)- "Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil* org, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)* org, Cera Alba* org, Jojoba Esters, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Hull Powder, Tocopherol, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax* org, Ribes Nigrum (Black Currant) Seed Oil* org, Fragrance (Parfum), Citrus Aurantium Amara (Bitter Orange) Flower Oil* org"
The preliminary report that I created for this product in the Cosmetics Database gives it a low hazard score of 2. The only individual ingredient with a hazard score above 2 is unspecified oils (which I put in place of fragrance since "PRIMAVERA products rely on the highest quality pure, natural essential oils.")
They're also sure to mention in their FAQ section the following: "We are a German company and subject to European regulations, which require that we list our essential oils as 'Fragrance/Parfum.' Absolutely no synthetic fragrances or perfumes are used to scent any of our products." Good to know!
Some great things about this product:
1. It's free of parabens, synthetic fragrances/perfumes, phenoxyethanol, and petrochemicals.
2. It's cruelty-free.
3. It contains organic ingredients.
4. The carton that the Lip Balm came in is printed on paper made from recycled sources using chemical-free printing plates and Ec0-Color dyes (what a mouthful)!
5. Ingredients are sourced from fair trade growers.
Product Description(provided at primaveralife.com)- "This thick, soothing balm seals in natural moisture to condition and protect lips.
- Organic Neroli Essential Oil soothes dry, flaky skin while calming and balancing the senses.
- Organic Cassis Seed Oil seals in natural moisture using essential fatty acids, smoothing, softening and strengthening skin.
- Organic Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil help protect against moisture loss."
Price– $14 for a .3 fl oz tube.
Performance– When I first applied this product, I noticed that it has a slightly salty taste. It's unusual, but I like it. Also noteworthy are the tiny beads that dissolve on contact. They add a moisturizing touch that I find to be pretty dreamy. This balm has a nice, shiny finish that is great underneath color or by itself for a natural look. I've also been applying this stuff before bed because waking up to the softest lips imaginable is never a bad thing. And guess what? My cuticles love this balm too!
Scent– On the citrus side of fruity, and it's a little reminiscent of fruity pebbles.
Rating– I'm subtracting half a point for the price since it's more than I'm accustomed to paying for a lip balm, but 9.5 outta 10 is as low as I'm willing to go.
Would I purchase this item again? Honestly, guys, I would almost never pay $14 for a lip balm…but this stuff is kind of amazing. So yeah, I would.
*Product was provided by Primavera. Opinions are all mine. Count on it!

total privacy
beautifully furnished
infinity pool, spa, media room, kayaking, bicycling, croquet and more.
close to NYC
skiing, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, hiking, and much more on property or near by.
Everything you dream of in one unique package. You will never want to leave. Almost everyone who stays here rebooks for the next your and we hope you do too.
We had an absolute amazing experience at the Bassinova estate! We loved every minute of being there! It's the perfect place to unwind & relax! We enjoyed the beautiful pool, the fabulous jacuzzi, the breathtaking views & the well kept landscapes. Richard & Jean were so helpful with everything they are truly amazing!
My wife and I booked Bassanova along with three other couples (and children) to celebrate the new year for a long weekend. The property was gorgeous with amazing views of the Hudson River. The house was clean and easily accommodated our entire party with plenty of room to spare.
Jean made the booking process extremely easy and we had a property manager who was available our entire stay for any questions or last minute requests.
I would highly recommend spending some time at Bassanova. .
We stayed at the house over a winter weekend and it was excellent!
My family and I just spent Thanksgiving weekend at the Bassinova Estate and we had a fabulous time! The home had every amenity we could have possibly wanted. The view of the Hudson River especially in the morning was completely breath taking, not to mention a Turkey Bowl on the lawn made the day just as special for all of us. It is an experience we will never forget. Jean and Richard definitely put together a wonderful home and completed it with a list of surrounding places to enhance our trip. I would highly recommend this to anyone, it was truly a great experience!
I had the most amazing weekend with a group of friends. We absolutely loved the house (comfortable beds, huge kitchen with everything you would need to cook even for a group). We spent a lot of time outside at the pool and also taking walks through the neighborhood. You cannot beat this view of the Hudson either, right from the house! Unbelievable. We spent a nice day in Hudson, not a far drive, which was a blast. I cannot recommend this property enough!
Bassinova -on -Hudson was the PERFECT choice to have family stay and enjoy a magical wedding on site! I have to admit, the photos on line show you the estate, but they can't let you experience the view! Breathtaking, especially from the balconies! The lawn was a natural setting for a wedding ceremony and reception, and caterer friendly! The home was not only beautiful, but extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean inside and out, with a huge equipped kitchen as well as a large patio for grilling...the stereo system throughout the house, and outside, was amazing. From the lush landscaping, to the infinity pool with hot tub to the grand seven acre lawn, all were manicured to reflect our daughter and son in law's wedding photos! We were even lucky to witness gigantic barges right in front of us on the Hudson!
Jean and Richard are the proud owners of Bassinova, who we were fortunate to have met. They are very detailed oriented, making sure that their guests walk away with memorable photos and stories. We certainly did! We would love to have the opportunity someday to rent Bassinova again...
Near Catskill and Berkshire Mountains which are great for hiking and skiing. Near Tanglewood for summer music, Williamstown, Mass. for great theater, Woodstock for shopping and much more.
