Said Wilbert Musa (born 19 March 1944) is a Belizean lawyer and politician. He was the Prime Minister of Belize from 28 August 1998 to 8 February 2008.
Early life and education[edit]
Said Wilbert Musa was born in San Ignacio, Cayo District, Belize. He was the fourth of eight children by Aurora Musa, née Gibbs, and Hamid Musa of Palestinian descent.
As a boy, Musa attended Saint Andrew's Primary School in San Ignacio. He then attended high school at St. Michael's College in Belize City and later St. John's College Sixth Form. While living in Belize City, Said Musa aided his parents by selling "tamales" and other Belizean delicacies. After completing secondary school he then studied law at the University of Manchester in England, receiving an Honours Degree in Law in 1966, and then qualified as a barrister at Gray's Inn.. He returned to Belize the following year, serving as crown counsel and then going into private practice. Said Musa has significantly contributed to law in Belize by representing thousands of underprivileged and poor individuals who come into contact with the law.
Political career[edit]
Musa joined the People's United Party (PUP) under George Cadle Price. He ran for Parliament for the first time in 1974 in the Fort George constituency and was narrowly defeated by Dean Lindo, losing by 46 votes. He was, however, successful in the 1979 election, winning the Fort George seat and defeating Lindo by a margin of 71 votes.[1] He served as Attorney General and Minister for Economic Development from 1979 to 1984. In the first years of independence, Musa served on the committee that wrote the Belizean Constitution.
Musa defended Belize's large national debt, mostly incurred in the 1980s, by saying Keynesian economics was being used: "The economy was in a deep recession, the country was broke (due to hurricanes) therefore it had to get the private sector moving again. The country started a major expansionary program ... to pay for the program we took on a lot of debt."[2]
In the 1984 election, Musa was defeated by Lindo, losing by a margin of 57 votes, but he regained his seat in the 1989 election, defeating Lindo by 449 votes; he has won the Fort George constituency in every election since.[1] Musa was Minister of Foreign Affairs and Education from 1989 to 1993. He took over the leadership of the PUP in 1996 and led the party to a landslide victory in elections in 1998 and 2003.
Musa led Belize to significant growth over his near-decade long term in office, but his popularity declined during his last years in office due to in part to increasing public perception of corruption among his Cabinet and within his party.[citation needed]
Outside of Belize, Musa chaired several regional organisations, including CARICOM and SICA.
Musa again led the PUP into the election held on 7 February 2008, but this time the PUP suffered a severe defeat at the hands of the UDP, winning only six out of 31 seats.[3] Musa himself was re-elected in the Fort George constituency.[1][4] UDP leader Dean Barrow succeeded Musa as Prime Minister on 8 February.[3]
Musa said on the day of the 2008 election that he intended for it to be his last election.[1][5] After the PUP's defeat, he congratulated Barrow. He considered the opposition's focus on allegations of corruption and negativity from the media to be primary factors in the defeat.[5]
On 13 February 2008, Musa announced that he was stepping down as party leader[1][6] so that the PUP could "renew itself from the top."[6] The PUP held a convention on 30 March 2008 to select his successor, and Johnny Briceño was elected as PUP leader.[7]
Johnny Briceno was replaced by Francis Fonseca in October 2011 and five months later in March 2012 he led the PUP to an almost promising election with fourteen of thirty one available seats.
Musa is married to Joan Musa. His son, Yasser Musa, is an artist, teacher, poet and entertainer in Belize and headed its arts council, the National Institute of Culture and History (NICH) under the PUP administration in addition to serving as chief of public relations for the PUP. Another son, Kareem, recently returned to Belize with a law degree and has taken on a number of prominent cases recently.
He and his wife Joan also have three other sons, Mark Musa (a doctor), Said Musa Jr and David Musa. One of Musa's other children from an extramarital relationship, Henry Charles Usher, served as the Secretary General of the P.U.P. for the latter part of the Musa-led P.U.P. and is now Chairman of the party.

WENATCHEE, WASH-The Ice Dogs couldn't muster a comeback on the road. The Wild came back with two goals in third for their 3-2 win.
It was tied 1-1 going into the third and the Ice Dogs had 2-1 lead after a Jacob Hetz goal three minutes into the final period. But the Wild rallied for the last two scores in the last five minutes of the game.
Chris Koukis tied the game 2-2 at the 14:27 mark of the contest. Mike Coyne provided the game winner with 2:03 left.
The Wild outshot the Ice dogs by double digits 39-25. Kevin Aldridge made 36 saves while his counterpart Johansson Gustaf made 23 saves.
Fairbanks is still tops in the Midwest with a 23-11 record but will have a chance to end their six game road trip with a win as they play Wenatchee again tonight.

Nike Zoom Hyperfuse – Deron Williams Home PE
November 9th, 2010 by Aaron Hope | 3 comments
Has the NBA ever had this many elite point guards? Steve Nash, Chris Paul, Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, Rajon Rondo, Jason Kidd; Nash notwithstanding, there's no wonder folks are already wondering who'll be able to fit onto the 2012 USAB London Olympic squad. Utah Jazz PG Deron Williams definitely belongs on that list, and even if he doesn't repeat his 2008 Oly appearance, his Nike Basketball kicks are downright golden. The Jazz' new/old logo has enabled this super-clean Nike Zoom Hyperfuse Deron Williams PE, a pair that makes the most of Utah's blue and green color scheme. Check out more shots after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for the latest in NBA Feet.

Secrets in the Suburbs: We're Swingers
Momlogic peeks over the fence to show you the racy stuff that might be going on in your own neighborhood.
Momlogic investigated and found Tara, 28, who has
been married to James, 36, for three years and has a 2-year-old son.
Here's what they had to say about being swingers.
ML: How long have you been swinging?
Tara: James and I have been swinging off and on for nearly six years. We dated three years prior to getting married.
ML: What does swinging mean?
Tara: Swinging to us means "playing" as a couple with another couple. We meet compatible couples for drinks, so we can chat about things. Within the first couple hours, we know if they are a couple we want to have sex with.
ML: What was your first swinging experience like?
Tara: We had a threesome--including James, myself and another man, and that led to swinging with other couples. The first time was OK, but it continued to get better every single time.
ML: How does the swing lifestyle work when you have children?
Tara: Well, it's very hard to find other swinging couples who have children, but once you do, it's a plus, because we can all relate to something other than just sex--we become friends as well.
ML: What do you do with your son when you have couples over?
Tara: He's at a babysitter's house.
ML: Do you plan on being open about your lifestyle with your son?
Tara: Yes, absolutely! As soon as he is an adult, we will be open with him. We are also OK with him choosing the same type of lifestyle as long as he knows it's not an everyday thing.
While Tara and James appear happy with their decision, if you're a suburban couple craving some variety--beware! Most of the couples we talked with made it very clear trying to replace a bad sex life and/or relationship with swinging is not healthy, and is a sure-fire way to end your relationship.

It is funny to me how people attack on the grounds of moral or religious reasons.
Who couldn't be attacked on those grounds for one aspect or another of their lives.
Like the people who use the bible as grounds to be monogamous.
Read the bible and it turns out the first person you lay with is your spouse for life…. after that you are in SIN!
It's o.k. however as most churches don't pay attention to that part.
At least the hypocrisy rate is lower with swingers. It requires a certain level of honesty with oneself and the spouse to be involved in the swinging lifestyle.
ya you are right,You can find many swingers in every country or area. Adult swingers do not care about physical boundaries. Most adult fantasies about other men or women. if you want to learn more click here…..http://bit.ly/cDsZaw

I'm really to be finally posting online after all these years. There really is no mystery about it, is there? I just dropped by your blog and had to write something. I'm a recent college grad, journalism major if you must know, and I love photography. I've got my website up but it's nothing to brag about yet. None of my stuff's been posted. Soon as I figure out how to do that, I'll spend the day posting my best shots. anyways just thought I'd drop a line. I hope to return with more substantial stuff, stuff you can actually use. SPG

We don't have to tell you that gas prices have jumped at the pump.
The national average for a gallon of regular gas is up 16 cents since July 1, according to AAA. Georgia's average price of $3.40 is up 4 cents from last week; Florida's average of $3.42 went up 2 cents and Tennessee's average of $3.28 rose 6 cents from last week, AAA reported.
Blame the uptick at the pump on speculators, said AAA spokeswoman Jessica Brady.
This is how she explains it: Last week, U.S. stockpiles of crude oil unexpectedly climbed by 3 million barrels to the highest level in 13 years — a sign of weak demand. Demand for new houses also dropped unexpectedly in June. Despite the lackluster demand numbers and eased tensions with Iran, speculators continue to keep upward pressure on oil prices in hopes European leaders will take measures to stimulate demand, Brady said.
The good news: Prices should start to stabilize in August, she said. "Although gas prices will likely inch up this week, we shouldn't see prices spike like they did during the first half of the month."
Check here for the best gas prices in metro Atlanta. We found $3.28 at Unbranded, 1744 GA-138 NE & Sigman Rd. in Conyers; $3.29 at JJ's Country Store, 3001 Country Walk Drive, Powder Springs; and $3.30 at Shell, 2375 Shallowford Road, Marietta.

I hope the speculators and investors trying to run up the prices lose their shirts over this. I'm all for free enterprise and anticipate the market will work it all out. Still better than the $7.00 per gallon I paid while in Europe.
July 30th, 2012
11:32 am
…gas prices on July 1 were $2.979 (Racetrac on Hwy 20 at GA400); today, at the same station, the price is $3.379 – and that is down from $3.439 last week. Can you say increases "above the national average", like 24 cents per gallon higher; can anyone explain WHY – the explanation in the article useless, since a sign of "weak demand" should mean prices recede in order to increase demand…

Again, where is all the outrage from the liberals? They sure wern't happy about high prices 4 years ago. Now not a peek from them. GO FIGURE!
July 30th, 2012
11:45 am
My question is. Tell me how gas prices take a month to drop 20 cents, but can go up 10-15 cents over a weekend. It only drops pennies at a time but rises 5-10 cents at a time. Just doesnt seem fair.

As much as liberals shill for mass transit, they should be on here yelling their heads off. They anticipate passage of the tax increase on Tuesday and must be over at the Grey Poupon Beltline taking measurements…

When you have to have your fixx, you pay the price. We are nothing but oil junkies.
July 30th, 2012
12:01 pm
Mass transit is not a liberal or conservative issue. It is a factor in whether businesses find Atlanta a good place to locate.
Why is gas higher in Georgia when we have one of the lowest gas tax rates in the country? Something is amiss here.
July 30th, 2012
12:17 pm
In late June/early July, I read news news stories that said gas prices were going down based on decreased demand and would be below $3 by the fall. On July 4, I filled up in Duluth for $3.03. On July 5, I filled up the other car in Marietta, where prices were still 15 cents higher. Prices have been going up ever since. Now $3.49 at that same station in Marietta. How quickly the story changes.
July 30th, 2012
12:17 pm
Clearly an election year ploy by the conservatives. Getting desperate.
July 30th, 2012
12:19 pm
Get real! Its sad to read comments for the mentally challenged. Oil is a monopoly and should be judicated with huge fines when the speculators increase the price without demand.
July 30th, 2012
12:38 pm
I am an free market capitalist; if you really want to take the "speculation" out of the market make one simple rule. If you purchase oil futures you must take possesion of the oil before you can resell it. This takes away the motive of a large fund speculator by the simple process of stating if you want it you must take hold of it.
July 30th, 2012
12:39 pm
you are correct al bundy – the repubs want to raise gas prices so the poor can't buy any and then they will kill everyone with poison air, water and food. then they will have all the oil and gas if they are not also dead. it is all bush's fault.
July 30th, 2012
12:45 pm
@Common Sense, good question. Why is gas cheaper in Alabama and Tennessee by .40 a gallon if Ga tax is so low? That is the news story I'd like to read.
July 30th, 2012
1:11 pm
David- Great idea. would still let the free market work it out, but eliminate price changes based on feelings instead of actual supply and demand. Yes, it is interesting how when oil goes up, we pay higher prices immediately, even when the gas/diesel in the ground tanks was already purchased by the station at a lower price. But when oil prices go down, the stores take forever bringing prices down. Oh well. I guess if I am too upset over it, I can just stop buying diesel and get a horse.
July 30th, 2012
1:39 pm
END SPECULATION NOW!!!! I'm betting that doesn't happen any time soon. Anyone want to bet on it? I'm taking odds.
July 30th, 2012
3:25 pm
I heard a political talking head on the radio last week saying that Georgia has some of the cheapest gas and lowest gas taxes in the Southeast. They were talking about the TSPLOST and how/why everyone should vote yes. Maybe 10 years ago Georgia had the cheapest gas but not anymore.

Getting Pregnant
Labor and Delivery
Baby and Beyond
Okay, I realize I am probably WAY behind here, as usual. But I know many of you have read all 3, I'm just barley starting the 2nd book. And, can I just say they MAKE ME CRAZY!! LOL It's like I feel clostrophobic reading them b/c of how much power the Capitol have and how little anything the people of the Districts have. I don't know but it makes my heart pound reading it b/c I want them to be free from all of the crap so bad lol I swear I'm reading too much into this - but did anyone else feel that way? Annoyed & frustrated w/ how much power they have? ugh ugh ugh! I know it's what makes the book, but the tension is killin' me Okay, I got my vent out and now I have to get back to reading b/c I MUST know what happens next!!
I just finished The Hunger Games on Wednesday this week. I went to Target today and bought the last two in the series. THG was unbelievably good. I found the ending very frustrating, with how Katniss pushed Peeta away after all they went through and all that she obviously feels for him. In such a bleak, dark world that they live in, wouldn't you want to hold on to something good and pure, like love? It makes me want to shake the stuffing out of her.
My "babies" are Abigail (6/06) and Caleb (1/08 )
I listened to THG and read Catching Fire. I'm now reading Mockingjay. In both of the first two I actually had to verbally vocalize my frustration/surprise to the book. Luckily I had my DD (she read them before me) who I could go straight to and vent/gab about it.
I really enjoy this series!
I read somewhere that she had pitched it as a 3 book series, and that it would be the final book.
I was able to get my Dh to listen to THG, and he liked it. He never reads, but I think he enjoyed the audio format. I need to get the other two on audio for him, so he can listen. He just won't take the time out of his day to sit down and pick up a book, but can find time to listen. I enjoyed getting to talk with him about the first.
It's definitely a trilogy. I have heard that many of the kids who loved the first two didn't like the last one as much, including my 15 year old son. Another librarian wondered if the plot/themes was/were a little too 'old' for middle schoolers to totally grasp.
I loved all three. I thought she kept a constant level of quality of writing and satisfying characterization throughout.

Where to get great tomatoes?
- d
- Dan Aug 17, 2001 10:17 AM
I'm not yet at the end of my first year in Boston so I still haven't scoped out the best places to get fresh produce in season. Tomato time is fast approaching--does anyone know where to get the best non-greenhouse tomatoes in Boston?
Try one of the farmer's markets around town (listed at www.massgrown.org). I know that there is a great one in Brookline on Thursday until 6PM. If you want to pick tomatoes the farms that allow you to pick are also listed at massgrown.org. Hope this helps.
My wife and I make the short trek to Wilson Farms in Lexigton(right off of Rt.2. They have the best produce that I have come across in the Boston Area.
For consistency, variety and quality, you must hurry to the venerable institution of Verrill Farms in Concord if you can. The earlier in the day, the better, of course. They have more than a dozen varieties of tomatoes at any given time, often good (as opposed to merely interesting) heirloom varieties. And their other produce (e.g., corn usually in three varieties, on ice if you get there early enough) is wonderful as well. It's the only place I know of where I can get genuine new potatoes (not red bliss, but ones whose skin is as frail as tissue paper) with consistency.
Oh, and their bakery and grocer items are wonderful, to boot....
And it's a lot less chaotic than the zoo at Wilson Farms, which certainly has more breadth but often less depth.
re: Karl
I would have to disagree w/ Verill Farms. They used to be GREAT when you could pick your own but I find the quality has gone way down hill. I am glad you have had better luck that I :) I go to my faithful Wilson Farms almost every weekend. I consistently get great produce everytime I go.
You didn't really say what part of Boston you are in, or how mobile you are. There are some farmer's markets set up around town on various days, but the prices tend to be ridiculously high.
If you are out in the 'burbs, there are numerous small farms and farm stands-- especially around Natick, Milford, Marlboro, Chelmsford, places like that. Also some of the bigger farms, like Wilsons do OK, but aren't always selling their own produce.
Closer to town you might even try the venerable Kay's Fruit on Mt Auburn Street in Watertown.
The VERY best place is Russo's on Pleasant Street in Watertown. They always have the very best of vegatables and low prices. I find the produce there is MUCH better and cheaper than Wilson's. It can get a little crowded at times. Check out their website at www.arusso.com Their main business is supplying the better restaurants in the Boston area.
re: Rick
I agree - Russo's is great...
I also recommend the farmer's markets but unfortunately, many places don't allow you to pick your own produce, which leaves you holding the bag...filled with lower quality pieces. If you are cooking the tomatoes, buy all means, go to the markets for volume.
If you are eating them raw, go with Russo's.
(Down with Bread and Circus!)
These are a couple of the Farmer's Markets around town. The full list is at the link below at Massgrown.org

Boston City Hall Plaza (Government Center)
Monday and Wednesday, 11:00 am - 6:00 pm
Copley Square

Tuesday and Friday, 11:00 am to 6:00 pm

Boston Center for the Arts plaza. Corner of Tremont and Clarendon Streets.
Wednesday, 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm
You didn't really say what part of Boston you are in, or how mobile you are.
As mobile as I need to be to get good tomatoes!
Thanks for all of the responses from everybody. I went to Wilson's this past weekend and was reasonably impressed with their produce, including the tomatoes. Of the tomatoes I bought, the German Striped was probably the best. Sweeter than most other tomatoes I've had. I started eating with with my usual tomato treatment--s&p, olive oil, and a little balsamic--but it was so sweet that the sweetness of the balsamic was too much.
I'm planning on trying Russo's and Verill Farms next to see who really has the best.
re: Dan
If you come to Verrill's, come a little further west on Route 2 and get off at exit 34 and just keeping taking rights (I think there are 2 or 3) but it will bring you to Mechanic Street in Leominster and just ahead on the right, you will see Gove Farm - not far off the highway. I have had Verrill Farm's tomatoes, Wilson Farms', etc and I will put Gove Farm tomatoes against any of them (although they are all extremely good). Paul Gove has trophies on the wall from his tomatoes. While you're there, buy his corn. There is none better. He has been written up in magazines about his corn. Drop it in boiling water, take it off the heat and let it sit for 3-5 minutes covered. Enjoy!
The state-wide Tomato competion was held last week in Natick ... if I can find the results on line I'll post them, but I recall this much - Ward's Berry Farm, Sharon, MA, nearly swept it - first place for Heirlooms (Black Krim), 3rd place for Cherry's, 2nd place for Slicing Tomato (with a bold choice of entering a yellow tomato, Lemon Boy), a couple of others I can't recall. Visit their farm stand (just off exit 8 on 95 between Boston & Providence). They're open 8-8, 7 days - an awesome place for foodies (errr, I mean chowhounds). They encourage you to taste anything - many tomato varieties on disply (& check out the pile of trophies from past years' competitions). Sweet corn often picked several times a day, varieties identified (usually offer one bicolor & one white). Seasonal pick-your-own produce (peaches now, pumpkins soon). An awesome place .....

Teens' Guide to Safe Blogging

Follow us:
The last room not to be closed down in Tammany Hall belongs to the Board of Elections.
Unlike other city agencies in which the City Council and the mayor typically appoint its governing board members, elections officials are actually picked by political parties. The result is a not-so-delicate balance between patronage and competence – with someone's cousin perhaps doing a good job or perhaps not. The idea behind this anachronistic arrangement is that if both major political parties control the agency, elections can't be rigged by those who are in charge. Instead, we've often been lucky if the election rigs even work.
As NY1's Grace Rauh reports, The City Council is trying to lift the veil on the nominating process for board members, publicly vetting them for the first time – even when the vote to approve them is done in private.
One of the most shocking nuggets of news to come out of a hearing yesterday was from Alan Schuklin, a candidate for commissioner of the board, who is already an employee there.
"We give out Social Security numbers and names and addresses and telephone numbers of people, and I think that's a major, major problem," Schuklin told the Council.
While most of us support transparency in government, this is obviously taking things to a sloppy level. Meanwhile, stronger reforms are needed at the agency. It's time for the Tammany tiger to head to the petting zoo.

Summer Beauty Trends We're Going to Miss
As much as we hate to admit, we only have a few more weeks of summer before we say good bye to sunshine and vacation trips. It's time to squeeze every bit of summer before drugstores and department store counters are filled with the latest fall line up of makeup!
#1. Bright Eye Shadow: We're going to miss wearing those Turquoise, golds, purples.. basically island colors on our eyes! Whether as colorful eyeliners or eyeshadows, nothing says summer than bright beautiful eyes. Too bad we have to say good bye when the chilly fall weather sets in.
#2. Braids without looking like a 4 year old. We survived on braids during lazy vacation days! The grown up version is very grecian, relaxed and almost effortless. Especially paired with a trendy summer dress. We are crossing our fingers we won't look like the little house on the prairie when we wind our hair in braids while fully dressed in sweater and scarf! :(
#3. Summer nail polish colors. Those bright aqua pastels like Chanel's Riva or even Peche Nacree are what we are going to miss most. Somehow bright, happy nails just look out of place when we are bundled up in layers of sweaters and scarf. Bring on the darker juicy colors of fall please!
#4. Bright juicy tangerine lips. Call us crazy, but we aren't exactly getting requests for tangerine colored lips during fall photo shoots! It's summery, beautiful, fresh and the ultimate symbol of summer. You will be missed, tangerine lips.
#5. Beach waves without looking like a bum. We love the loose waves look without looking like we just rolled out of bed or refused a comb. Only two weeks till summer officially ends, we are going to def take advantage of every loose, messy curl!

My fantastic 5 months have come to an end. Today is my last night in Mexico and tomorrow morning I will be boarding my plane back to Australia.
Every day of this trip has been special in its own way, but here are my personal highlights of the trip:
1.) Nepal is the overall winner. My hike trough the Annapurna region, with its dramatic mountain views and spectacular natural beauty and diversity, is an experience I will never forget in my life. Hopefully not the last time I was there.
2.) Mexican food!!! No doubt, the best of the trip. The diversity beyond burritos has been a touristic highlight in itself ( especially in Oaxaca).
3.) My time travel to Cuba! What a special little island it is. The 50ies flair, vivid street life and fantastic music will never be forgotten.
4.)Every second spent on a Latin American dance floor deserves to be mentioned here. I had almost forgotten how much, I LOVE to dance salsa!
5.) My amazing family reunion in Colombia!!! We are a lot of people who live all over the world and don't get to all be at the same place at the same time very often. It was a huge effort from everyone who came, but one that was so worth it. One of the best Christmas I have had in many, many years.
6.) Semuch Champey in Guatemala. I am still stunned by the magical view over those crystal clear rock pools in the middle of the jungle. The trip there was completely out of my way, but every second in the uncomfortable mini bus was worth it.
7.) And last but not least my snorkeling trip in Belize. I don't dive, so I don't get to see much underwaterlife very often. The day out at caye Caulker with all the colourful fish, turtles, sharks and sting rays was my best snorkeling experience Ever!!!
I am sad to have reached the end of what has been an amazing chapter but I have also been away for long enough, to appreciate to its full extend, everything that I left behind at home (!). Next Stop is Sydney town.
Sail away in Belize
On Friday I left for my three day sailing adventure from Caye Caulker to Placencia, on a 50 foot boat, the Ragga King.
Clear blue waters of the Caribbean Sea, island hopping, sun, reggae and rum.
The sailing was smooth because the reef protected the coastal waters from the full force of the waves.
We anchored several times to go snorkeling or spearfishing, at night we camped on tiny islands and had amazing dinner, eating mostly the fish we caught during the day.
This trip has been the perfect closure to my journey.
Yesterday, I spent the entire day on the bus and am now back in Mexico in Tulum, indulging in my beloved Mexican food.

After 2 full weeks of wearing our BGel nail polish, we are happy to say that we are still in love with BGel! The polish lasted a full two weeks, even without a top coat, and maintained its no-chip promise without losing shine.
The removal process was quick and easy. Simply place cotton pads with acetone on nails and wrap with foil for 5 minutes, then remove. Lightly rub a cuticle pusher against the polish to remove color. No buffing needed!
We have to say, we've tried other gel polish in the past, and nothing even compares to the B-Gel formula. It goes on faster, lasts longer, and removes easier without any harm to your natural nails.
Click here to find a B-Gel salon near you!
—Style Block
On Saturday Corri and I were able to try out the latest product on the no-chip mani market, and let me tell you we are IN LOVE with BGel!
Aside from having great colors to choose from, BGel is truly a one-step nail polish with no base or top coat needed (hard to believe we know). The polish itself is a medical grade formula that is safe to apply directly onto your nails. It also hardens in about half the amount of time as a standard no-chip manicure. Which means less time at the salon, and more time for fun! The manicure should last us for the next two weeks and beyond, and we will keep you posted on the end results!
—Erin, Less is More
In New York City, dinner starts at 10. Here are some of my beauty routines for late nights and early mornings.
Sabon has a great eye cream that really wakes you up in the morning. It has white tea and avocado oil in it, and you can feel it working.
At night, I use La Prairie cellular treatment. It works off any stress from the day.
I always add Shu Uemura's essence absolue in my hair. It is nourishing fragrance with oil pearls and camellia oil which keeps my hair healthy especially while traveling. Doesn't hurt that it smells amazing.
Giorgio Armani has the best foundation. I usually don't wear much make up during the day, except for this. It makes your skin smooth and just feels amazing on. Maestro fusion make up.
—Bridget, Black is the New Black

The Meaning Of Advent And The Advent Wreathe
The importance of the Advent season remains to focus on the coming of our Lord. (Advent comes from the Latin adventus, meaning 'coming.') The Catechism stresses the two-fold meaning of this 'coming': 'When the Church celebrates the liturgy of Advent each year, she makes present this ancient expectancy of the Messiah, for by sharing in the long preparation for the Savior's first coming, the faithful renew their ardent desire for His second coming' (No. 524).
'Father in Heaven, ... increase our longing for Christ our Savior and give us the strength to grow in love, that the dawn of His coming may find us rejoicing in His presence and welcoming the light of His truth.'
From The Liturgical Seasons Of Advent

1st quarterSMU took advantage of LaDarius Brown's fumble with a 67-yard scoring drive to take a 7-0 lead on Jeremy Johnson's 1-yard touchdown reception from Garrett Gilbert late in the quarter.2nd quarterTCU's defense was in a bind when Ethan Perry's punt was blocked and SMU took over on the TCU 1-yard line. Chris Hackett, however, sacked Gilbert, who fumbled. The Mustangs recovered but lost 20 yards on the play and were forced to settle for a 37-yard field goal and a 10-7 lead with a minute left in the half.3rd quarterTrue freshman Ty Slanina made a nice catch in the corner of the end zone on one of Trevone Boykin's best-thrown passes of the day for a 20-yard score to give TCU its first lead, 17-10, late in the quarter.4th quarterReceiver Ja'Juan Story, who has played a limited role this season after transferring from Florida, broke a tackle, picked up a nice block and scored on a 56-yard pass from Boykin to help TCU pull away 24-10 early in the quarter.How they fared Offense: It was a tale of two halves for TCU. The Frogs had just six first downs and 120 total yards in the first half but turned it up a notch after the break. TCU finished with 335 yards and 16 first downs. Boykin improved greatly in the second half. After completing just 7 of 16 first-half passes, he was 8 of 10 in the second half and finished with 228 yards and two touchdowns. Defense: TCU's defense intercepted four passes and sacked Garrett Gilbert seven times. The Frogs held one of the most prolific offenses in the nation to 292 yards — including 121 with the game out of reach in the fourth quarter. The Mustangs came into the game averaging 461.7 yards a game. Special teams: A mix of good and bad. Ethan Perry had a punt blocked and Jaden Oberkrom missed a 42-yard field-goal attempt in the second quarter. But Oberkrom connected on kicks from 35 and 26 yards and LaDarius Brown's heads-up play on SMU's onside kick late in the game turned into a 45-yard kickoff return to stretch TCU's lead to 41-17.Players of the game WR Ty Slanina, TCU: The true freshman led with three receptions for 63 yards, including a 20-yard, go-ahead touchdown. WR Jeremy Johnson, SMU: Led the Mustangs with 159 yards on 11 catches, including a long of 50 yards and a 1-yard scoring catch to give SMU a 7-0 lead. LB Marcus Mallet, TCU: Led the Frogs with 10 tackles, including four for a loss and a sack. He also forced a fumble. S Sam Carter, TCU: He intercepted two passes, including one returned 66 yards for a score, forced a fumble and finished with five tackles, including a sack for a loss of seven yards.Quotable"We played with more emotion. The first half we were pretty flat. Things weren't going right for us. We had drops. We were killing ourselves with personal fouls and offsides." — TCU QB Trevone Boykin on the slow start by the offense.

It may be impossible to accurately capture the full effects of community development lending and investment activity because it is impossible to quantify pride, self-esteem, quality, and other intangible benefits. Simply put, community development work is much more than just finances. For an effort to be considered fully successful, consideration must also be given to education, health care, social work, land-use planning, environmental issues, neighborhood organizing, criminal justice, athletics, and the arts, to name just a few of the many disciplines that should be involved
However, it is desirable to at least gauge some of the economic impact of community development activities because the impact is frequently phenomenal. Finding the right measure is challenging. Experts will monitor increases in the number of building permits, changes in zoning requests, reductions in crimes reported, unemployment rate changes, tax receipts collected, changes in median incomes, reductions in public benefit payments, reductions in food stamps distributed, and many other measures just to gauge some of the benefits from their work. Each measure tells a different part of the story, and many are appropriate because no one measure can capture the whole story.
One way to measure the overall impact is through the multiplier effect. This issue of Partners features an article on measuring economic impact and another on the economic multiplier effect. The first article, Measuring Economic Impact, explains the concepts behind the types of impact, and the second article, The Multiplier Effect at Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprises, presents a study from Dr. Marilyn Helms at the University of Tennessee about the $50 million impact just one nonprofit organization made in 1997.
As presented in the study, the multiplier effect shows how $21.5 million in expenditures in fiscal year 1994 actually had a total indirect impact of $35.1 million. Further, the study reports dramatic increases in employment as 36 full time staff members helped create or sustain an additional 294 indirect jobs, and real estate taxes increased from $39 thousand paid by the nonprofit in 1993, to approximately $1.2 million paid by over 1,900 homeowners the next year.
As part of the nation's central bank, you would expect the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta to place considerable emphasis on economics and finance, and we do. However, financial measurements alone will not tell the whole story because community development work not only changes landscapes, but equally important, it changes public perceptions. And one of the most exciting examples of changing both landscapes and perceptions is at East Lake Meadows, a public housing community being transformed into a mixed-income community on a golf course in Atlanta. Golf and public housing in the same place may seem strange, but with strong foundation and corporate support, the first phase of this exciting redevelopment has already broken ground and has begun to change the way people, both rich and poor, view public housing. But rather than take our word for it, we present another view with a reprint of an article we entitled Public Housing Transformed that free lance author John Steinbreder wrote on this unusual development.
Finally, we recognize that measuring community development success with financial tools alone is not appropriate. To be successful, it must also evoke an emotional reaction, a good feeling that inspires as well as encourages. And one of the best ways to promote this inspiration is through the arts. For example, murals on commercial buildings help capture the history and pride of a community; artist loft developments attract public interest, support, and a sense of community; and neighborhood based community theatre programs provide publicity and fundraising opportunities for development work. The arts are an integral part of many community development activities.
That is why we are proud to announce an exciting new partnership with the Coca-Cola Foundation to promote the arts through this newsletter. Dedicated to promoting education and the arts, and frequently working through school-based arts programs, the Coca-Cola Foundation provides support to artists around the world in an effort to promote cultural understanding. We will begin featuring some of these artists and their schools in this newsletter. We hope it evokes the same sense of community with you that it has with us. And we gratefully acknowledge and appreciate the generosity of the Coca-Cola Foundation for sharing this art with us all.

Q&A: Is it safe to cook with wine while pregnant?
I know that it's unsafe to drink alcohol when pregnant, but what are your thoughts on cooking with wine during pregnancy?
When you cook with wine, the heat evaporates the alcohol content, leaving the desired flavor without the alcohol.

Porsche has announced that they will be entering an improved version of the Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid into the upcoming Nürburgring 24 hour race on June 25, 2011. The hybrid system will combine the same 480 HP 4.0 Liter flat six engine delivering the same 480 hp with two electric motors that each produce 100 HP, as opposed to the original 75 HP each. The weight has also been lowered from 1,350 to 1,300 kilograms, or 2976 lbs to 2866 lbs.
"We've collected a great deal of information from our races on the Nürburgring , at the ALMS race at Road Atlanta in the USA, as well as from the ILMC race on China's Zhuhai circuit, which was an invaluable help for the further development of our racing laboratory," says Hartmut Kristen, head of Porsche motorsport. "The emphasis of our work was on improving efficiency. That means we want to keep the lap times consis-tent with 2010 but use less energy, hence less fuel. In this way, we support future developments of road-going, sporting hybrid vehicles."
UPDATE 10/06/2011: The new GT3 R Hybrid made its debut at this year's Laguna Seca, racing its way to a victory! Check out Porsche's new video showing off the GT3R in action during the race by clicking on the image above. Enjoy!

Old enemy gives Blackheath plenty to think about!
The traditional final dress-rehearsal of recent years between rugby union's two oldest rivals has more often than not gone the way of Richmond and, once again, the Surrey club, who are celebrating their 150th anniversary this year, have given Yusuf Ibrahim and his coaching team plenty to work on ahead of the opening match in the 2011/12 National League One campaign next Saturday.
As the same heavy band of rain that disrupted the Oval Test Match a few short miles away passed over the Athletic Ground, making conditions greasy at the start, errors in the Club back division gifted the hosts two early tries, leaving the visitors to play catch-up after just ten minutes had elapsed.
Right-wing Richard Bright, showing fine finishing skills, quickly cancelled out the first effort, and Lee Covington at open-side drove over after Blackheath, at the fourth time of asking, managed to produce a decent line-out, reducing the arrears. But by the interval, and with the weather brightening up, Richmond left-wing James Greenwood had completed a hat-trick, and when replacement three-quarter Duncan Peters added a fifth score after the re-start, the National League Two side were way out in the distance at 35-12.
Blackheath did improve. Jack Walsh and, newly arrived from Plymouth Albion, John Coleman took scoring chances well, making strong claims for starting berths next week at scrum-half and wing respectively. But other opportunities went begging and, with a faltering set-piece and too many missed tackles, Blackheath will look for significant improvements prior to the season opener at Rosslyn Park next Saturday.
The Heathens also lost out to their Richmond counterparts, The Vikings, going down 12-5. The Club's 2nd XV also play at Rosslyn Park next Saturday, kicking-off at 12.00 pm with the National League One match starting at 3.00 pm.

since my vintage – scratch that: childhood – books have made it into our daily rotation, i've had a couple laughs about the differences between the 1978 printing of richard scarry's best word book ever and the 1991 printing that i bought for bonzo a few months ago.
bonz is pretty roll with the punches, though.
as long as he's devouring one or the other, he's a happy guy. in fact, he's just stoked on the extra copy so he can count on having one bedside and one to tote around the house willy nilly.
no matter which way you slice it, richard scarry rules.
the powers that be must have just felt like they needed to dial up the gender equality and dial down the stereotypes to make it more... well... modern maybe?
my vote's totally for the old school version. obviously.
but life moves on. daddy bunnies help in the kitchen and girl bears pave roads. it's just how it goes.
old on the left, new on the right:
they nixed the notion of being a cowboy when one grows up. along with being a commuter or train conductor in favor of being a reporter or photographer:
this spread – one of my childhood faves – doesn't even exist in the new school edition:
now we've got ma out there earning her keep:
this page fell by the wayside, too:
last words of the day didn't make the cut? tough crowd.
happy reading!

ILLUMINATI FUNERAL Jesus said let the dead bury th
- Remanuelli

The Lord was said to have given a very harsh statement regarding the conditions of his service.
Luke 9:59-62 But he said to him, 'Lord, let me first go and bury my father.' 60 But he said to him, 'Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.' 61 Another said, 'I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home.' 62 Jesus said to him, 'No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.'
What does this mean? Who were the dead? What is the ploughing to which Christ referred? The dead were held to be those of this world. The elect were called out of this world to a life of service and dedication. To assist them they were given understanding of the mysteries of God and the Kingdom of God (Mk. 4:11). The Holy Spirit was the mechanism by which this was done.

I noticed all this, as he shot between the traffic, on his skateboard, throwing a wink at Belle who had noticed also. We both shamelessly turned to look. But the Summer Boy was gone. I slumped some...
I was about as happy with my reflection as any girl could be. In fact I was really happy with it. I fluffed my spiky black and hot pink hair, and flicked my fringe out of my heavy eyelinered eyes. I smirked at my reflection. My thick black eyeliner made my blue contacts look amazing. I smoothed dark red lipstick over my full lips, taking care not to get any on my two lip rings. I cocked an eyebrow at myself and looked down at my outfit.
David and Goliath vest shirt – check. I giggled. Spooning defiantly leads to forking.
Short black skirt. Check.
Black laddered tights. Check.
Black doc martens? Check.
I smoothed my hands over my tattooed arms and grinned. I'm ready for school.
See im in high school, and I didn't always live in America. My Mum moved us here after Dad got killed by some psycho serial killer back in London and my friend Belle moved here with us because she was emancipated and bored. We had a pretty good break here if im honest. The cheerleaders didn't accept us. But we were… Wanted. Desirable. And im not saying that to be big headed. We were. It rocked. I picked up my bag and swung it over my shoulders. Plugging my ipod in as I went. Sunshine of your love by Cream seemed to be the anthem for today. I headed out the door, grabbing an apple on the way out.
'Can you be any slower?' My best friend Belle drawled from the drop top car she was sitting on the back of. I eyed her almost identical outfit and smiled at the fact that even though we lived apart, we were still the same. Twins in all but birth mothers. I grinned at her, and the rest of the guys occupying the car. As a rule we didn't usually hang around with girls. We found guy's much less… bitchy. The driver had a typical brown emo boy hair cut. He chewed on his lip ring while waiting for me to climb in the car. He wore an Avenged Sevenfold shirt over his skinny jeans. He caught me looking and winked. Seth. He was one of my best friends and Belle had a sort of on off thing going with him. It drove the others and me nuts trying to keep up with them and when they weren't speaking. A shorter guy with shoulder length black hair was talking nine to dozen. He was talking with his hands a lot and there was a flash as he smiled and showed his little white teeth. Yeah, that was Archie. He was great. Quick and nimble – and light fingered if he ever needed to be. He literally never stopped speaking, and he could bring a smile to the face of even Greasy Joe my boss at the pizza place. At the moment he was talking to – or should I say talking at Avery. Avery didn't noticed because he was hiding behind his shaggy mop of hair, and listening to those retro headphones he had over his ears. He was smoking something and im pretty sure it wasn't legal. Actually, knowing Avery, I know it wasn't legal.
Belle sat on the back of the car stretching her long white legs impatiently. Everything about Belle was long or slender. She was the right height for a girl – perhaps a little taller, and she had long grey brown hair that hung below her waist. She flicked her fringe and raised a perfect eyebrow at me. Her David and Goliath shirt (Cheesus Loves Me) had been ripped so it hung just above her ribcage, and her skirt, which was red and black tartan, was just a little longer than mine. To top this all off she was perfectly pale, skinny and I really liked her shoes. She wore those funky skater girl socks like Avril Lavienge had in her time and they hugged her calves, but what I was concerned about were her new converse. They were white and scribbled on, and I hopped the door and yanked her foot upwards to have a look.
'Watch the paint work Pyro.' Seth said carefully from the driver's seat. That was the deal with Seth. He was very slow. And precise. He seemed to always think things over before he said or did them. Apart from when we first met. We both had a little crazy thing going on. This was when I'd just been used by the one I was in love with, Belle's cousin. And Seth had been in love with someone his whole life who'd basically betrayed him. We got all the pain out of our system by setting their cars on fire and screaming. Earning us our –not too bad considering- nicknames. Belles cousin had since forgiven me and was now desperately into me. I not only didn't really appreciate his friendship, but I didn't really want to think about all he'd done.
'I like her shoes, Screamer.' I replied tartly, as we pulled away from the kerb. I was perched precariously on Archie's lap, who still hadnt stopped his tirade of relentless chat to Avery.
'I think I just saw what she had for breakfast,' Avery giggled from the shotgun seat he occupied. He leant his head back and blew out a long puff of smoke, causing Belle to slip down in her seat, coughing.
'Fucking jammed,' she complained, waving her hands in front of he face. Archie had stopped talking and looked slightly annoyed that no one was listening to him anyway.
'It's okay. We've all seen it before,' he said happily, and then yelped as Seth abruptly stopped the car.
'You want to walk to school Archie?' He asked slowly eying Archie in the mirror.
'No sir, nope, wrong, negative, that woul-'
'Stop talking Archie,' I sighed, for what I guess wouldn't be the first time today. I looked at Belle who was half smiling.
'You two are on?'
'I bloody well hope so after last night. We-'
'Save it Way,' I said laughing. Oh. There was another thing I'd forgotten to mention about Belle. She was the cousin of Gerard and Mikey Way from My Chemical Romance. This caused major problems with her because she was madly in love with Mikey. "Cousins," She'd say tartly, "Are very much legal."
I leant an elbow on the side of the car and watched the people pass. No one stood out.
No one…. until him.
He was leaning against a lamppost, smoking a cigarette. He had longish black hair and he flicked it out of his eyes, with a smirk I could, and would die for. His face was pierced. Twice below his eye. He looked up at me, and winked.
And then he was gone. I turned wildly in my seat to look back at him, not caring if it was uncool. But he was gone. Like gone, gone. I slumped down disappointedly, before another guy outshone the rest. This on was the polar opposite of the first. His blond hair almost shone and it reminded me of the beating sun this summer. His short-sleeved shirt showed his tattoos – one of twirling vines that almost seemed to move, and the other a blazing sun that radiated out from his elbow. I noticed all this, as he shot between the traffic, on his skateboard, throwing a wink at Belle who had noticed also. We both shamelessly turned to look. But the Summer Boy was gone. I slumped some more.
And I didn't see any thing special until I got to school.
