Hello Dear Friends and Family!
This might be a good blog for you to bookmark for when the weather gets unbearably hot this summer.
How To Beat the Heat
1. Wet a washcloth with cold water and put it on the back of your neck.
2. Keep a few wet washcloths or towels in the fridge, so you can swap them out
when they warm up!
3. Place wet towel on the back of your neck.
4. Use a spray bottle from any cheap or dollar store to mist or spray yourself at
home or where ever you go! Or Spray behind your knees, on your feet, and
anywhere that's sweaty. The warm water keeps you from being shocked
when you spray. Now, go get in front of a fan!
5. Run wrists under cold water. Use a piece of ice wrapped in a face cloth, to continue after the coolness wears off. Constantly cooling off the wrists will also cool off the body. Never use just ice, make sure it is wrapped in a towel or something similar. Studies show that this will reduce your core body temperature by as much as 1.5 ºC. The relief is almost immediate, and will last for up to one hour!
6. Turn off the stove and other sources of heat.
7. Partly fill a plastic bottle with water and freeze it. Put it in front of a fan; it'll
give the same effect as cold water, but is less likely to spill.
8. Lightly mist a top sheet, and place it in a plastic bag in the freezer. Pull it out
just before you're ready to sleep. It'll keep you cool enough to fall asleep.
9. Keep the sun out. Be sure to keep the window shades drawn from around
11:00 am until at least 2:00 pm. The sun shining into the house during this
period can leave the temperature much warmer in the afternoon and evening
than it needs to be.
10. Sleep alone. I know, it sounds a little lonely but it'll be much cooler than that
abundance of body heat that comes with a spouse, a child, a dog or even the
family cat sharing the bed with you. If you can't sleep alone, sleep with some
space between you.
11. Wear cotton. Cotton takes perspiration away from the skin leaving you drier
and more comfortable. Go for light coloured cotton clothes, cotton
nightwear and bedding. Cotton sheets will not only absorb night sweats,
but will also permit your skin to breath, allowing you to be more
comfortable and less restless. Better sleep means more energy and better
12. Cool showers and baths. During the summer, there's nothing more
satisfying than a cool bath or shower. Even running cold water over my
wrists (or another pulse point) for a few minutes cools me down. When I
can't sleep at night because of the heat, I fill a pan with cold water and soak
my feet – it really helps to lower the body temperature!
13. Keep exercise moderate. Exercise is important but it's tempting to skip it
when it's hot. Do exercise but keep it moderate. Don't push yourself too hard
and be sure to take a cool shower afterwards to bring your body
temperature back down.
13. Try swimming. If possible, choose swimming as your exercise during the
summer. Swimming works all the major muscle groups while helping to
maintain a lower body temperature. It also helps with balance and mobility.
14. Seek shade. When you're going to be outside, always sit in the shade. Even
better, sit in the shade where there's a breeze.
15. Wear a hat. The sun beating down on your head has a huge impact on your
body temperature: always wear a hat when you're out in the sun. Many
countries now have made a law that children under 12 must wear a sunhat
to school in the warmer months.
16. Fill a hot water bottle with cold water from the fridge and put it on your
ankles and feet - it works!
17. Do not consume any caffeinated beverages before trying to sleep, your
increased heart rate will make you hotter and more susceptible to the heat.
18. Keep a glass of ice cold water close to your bed so that in the event that you
wake up hot and uncomfortable, you can easily cool off again without having
to get up.
19. Try cooling clothing. A number of manufacturers now make cooling vests,
hats, etc. Last summer I ordered online a cooling bandana. They have gel
crystals that retain cold when wet. You run it under cold water and tie it
around your neck or head. As long as it stays wet, it stays cool! – neat!
19. Go to malls or theaters or stores that have air conditioning.
20. Wear a damp shirt (not wet) around the house or yard. (not suitable for public, lol)
21. Heavy meals will make your heart pump harder to digest the food, heating you up. Keep meals light.
The following is a partial list of manufacturers and suppliers of "cooling" clothing. This includes everything from gel bandanas, cooling wrist bands, sunhats with cooling forehead bands to clothes with pockets to put cold gel packs, to space age clothing with body cooling molecules.

USC gets upgrade in facilities
LOS ANGELES — Southern California has more to look forward to in 2012 than ending its two-year post-season ban. Next summer the Trojans will move into the $70 million, 110,000-square-foot John McKay Center.
It will replace the ancient Heritage Center which had only 70,000 square feet. The new facility will feature a 32,000-square-foot weight room, more than three times the size of the old one at 9,600-square-foot weight room. The training room will be 18,000 square feet. The current one? It's 2,700.
"Right now if you look at USC, there are a lot of great things going on," coach Lane Kiffin said. "Starting with the John McKay Center. It's ahead of schedule and moving along. All of our student athletes will be housed there, and it's going to be really special.
"If you look at USC over the years, the one thing we didn't have is we were behind facility-wise. So this allows us to catch up with other people and hopefully move past the majority of them."

Despite the fact that this would (hopefully) never go into production, it's an interesting thought. A two-door luxury SUV. Audi makes a lot of effort to give the Q7 options to make it sporty such as an S-line package, paddle-shifters, a body kit, big sporty wheels, and other stuff. While I do like the idea of personalizing your vehicle, I fail to see the point of giving your big SUV paddle shifters and sport modes and the like. The body kit…I get it, it's an appearance package, and it looks cool. But no paddle shifting or sport mode is going to make me think I'm driving a sports car.
Same situation here. What would be the point of making a two-door luxury SUV? First of all the doors would be huge and heavy. I'm sure it would be popular to add all the S-line stuff onto it. Great, now you have a big SUV wrapped in sports car clothing. It's still a big SUV, and will always handle like a big SUV.

Q My 13-year-old daughter and her friends were shopping at the Burlington Mall, looking at iPhone cases at the Street Talk kiosk. The sales lady subjected her to an aggressive sales pitch, and my daughter ended up purchasing a case worth about $1 and a screen protector worth about 2 cents � for $40. As soon as she paid, she changed her mind because she never really wanted the case and protector, but felt pressured. Consequently, she asked for her money back. She was told she could only exchange the items for something else and could not get her money back. It is true that the receipt says �no refunds� at the bottom, but that important piece of information should have been clearly stated verbally by the salesperson at the time of the transaction, or there should have been a prominent sign at the checkout counter.
A What an unfortunate way for a young consumer to learn not all stores are created equal when it comes to returning items.
Massachusetts law is pretty clear on the issue of returns. Sellers can set whatever policy they�d like � as long as it is clearly and prominently disclosed prior to the sale taking place. That means a note on a receipt is not acceptable as a disclosure, since that comes after the purchase.
I was unable to reach anyone by phone at the Street Talk stand in the Burlington Mall, but folks at their corporate office were quick to respond. Street Talk�s Nahum Zak said, generally, the company�s outlets allow exchanges for seven days after the purchase, but not returns.
However, he apologized for the situation and promised your daughter would both receive a refund and get a $50 merchandise credit. �We are a family business that pride ourselves on our customer relationships and will do whatever is in our power to ensure a positive customer experience,� Zak said.
When you�re buying, be clear on what will happen if you bring back the product. If there�s no posted policy and you get hassled, contact the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation.
May you all have many happy returns.

Wanted in Denver, preferably dead: This pretty little toxic noxious weed
Oh Myrtle Spurge, Myrtle Spurge, you're such a scourge! Shouldn't that be a country song? Doesn't that name conjure images of some demonic little doe-eyed criminal?
Well, it is a demonic, evil plant. The City and County of Denver's Parks and Recreation department says so, even if Miss Myrtle does look all innocent and succulent in the above photo. In fact, Parks & Rec will hold two "Purge the Spurge" events, one in May and one in June, at which Denver residents can bring bags of spurge (or photos of themselves removing it) and trade them for free native plants.
Myrtle spurge (Euphorbia myrsinites) is a "List A" noxious weed, meaning property owners can be required to eradicate it. What's so bad about myrtle spurge? It not only spreads rapidly and displaces native plants, all parts of it are poisonous and its milky sap is a severe skin irritant.
Most ironic of all, it was sold years ago as a landscape plant, because it tolerates our hot, dry summers. Now it's "a serious problem in the foothills and mountain ecosystems," Parks & Rec says.
Denver Post reporter Jason Blevins bought some myrtle spurge for his home in the Highland/Sunnyside neighborhood years ago. It spread vigorously. He recently yanked it all out, but some of the sap must have gotten on his clothes, he says, from where it likely transferred to his 5-year-old daughter's face, which broke out in blisters. So if you go out to purge some spurge, wear gloves, long pants and sleeves, shoes and eye protection, parks & rec says. (I'm thinkin' hazmat suit.) Avoid contact with all the plant's parts.
The two "Purge the Spurge" events are 8 a.m.-3 p.m. May 19 at Harvard Gulch Park, 888 E. Illiff Ave.; and 9 a.m. to noon June 2 at Rocky Mountain Lake Park.
And if you want to see how beautiful and durable native plants can be, check out Jean Morgan's garden in Louisville. Morgan confesses: Once she had myrtle spurge in her garden, too.

Now this is surprising: In a poll taken of 518 married couples, 49% of the guys said they pee sitting down, because their wives had asked them to. By the by, this poll was conducted in Japan, where "toilet etiquette is a serious topic," explains Guardian. Around here, we pee standing up. So somehow it makes perfect sense that some sort of role-reversal would happen! None of us are married (yet), but a couple of us know dudes who totally pop a squat to urinate. Do you?
Welcome to the Urine Nation poll!

A storm that has dumped more than a foot of snow in the Rocky Mountains could cause headaches for travelers as it tracks into the Midwest and Great Lakes region.
Drivers in Iowa and Nebraska were warned to be careful or stop driving altogether starting Wednesday evening as the first major winter storm of the season heads into the central Plains from the Rockies. Strong winds are expected to create blizzard conditions.
Light snow is also expected at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Thursday and strong winds could make visibility poor.
That combined with low clouds, could cause delays at the nation's second-busiest airport, National Weather Service forecaster Jamie Enderlen said.
Iowa officials advised drivers to avoid most roads from Wednesday night through noon Thursday, but native Laurie Harry, a manager at a Casey's General Store, expects to drive to work Thursday morning.
"If I need to get into work, I'll be here," she said. "We've had snow before. Iowans know what to expect. We're used to it."
The snow had moved out of Denver by midday Wednesday but much of the eastern half of Colorado remained under a blizzard warning. Wind gusts were blowing snow around, lowering visibility, but interstates there remained open.
Denver's airport, the nation's fifth-busiest, reported delays averaging 30 minutes because of snow and ice Wednesday.
The snow is a gift for ski resorts in Colorado, Utah and Arizona right before the busy holiday week. The snow might also tempt backcountry skiers but the fresh snow prompted some avalanche warnings in Colorado and Utah.
The moisture is also a relief after an extended wildfire season in Colorado. Drought conditions persist especially in the mainly agricultural eastern half of the state.
Farmer Fred Midcap welcomed the snow even though 25 mph winds were blowing some of it away from his land near Hudson in northeastern Colorado.
"The snowflakes are mostly going sideways," he said.
Midcap doesn't plow his land to help improve the soil and said the stubble leftover from this year's weak millet crop will help hold some of the snow in place, hopefully setting up for a better growing season next year. If the snow keeps coming, it will also provide some welcome insulation to his winter wheat crop before the coldest weather of the season.
In Arizona, two recent storms had combined to blanket the mountains north of Flagstaff with 2 feet of snow, and about 20 inches in Flagstaff and along the Mogollon Rim. The snowfall put Flagstaff above its nearly 17-inch normal for December with the snowiest month yet to come in January.
The storm is also expected to hit Wisconsin and Michigan, where up to a foot of snow was forecast in the north by Friday.

Welcome To The Second Issue of History Now
By Carol Berkin
Students often ask: How do historians know what happened in the past? How do they know what Frederick Douglass said about slavery, what Abigail Adams thought about American independence, or what happened at Sutter's mill? As scholars and teachers, we know that primary sources are the building blocks, the "stuff" of history.
Official government documents, political speeches, wills, newspapers, diaries, and letters are just a few of the sources we can draw upon to reconstruct an historical era or an individual life. We can also turn to paintings, political cartoons, and in later decades, photographs and film footage. Borrowing techniques from other disciplines such as archaeology and anthropology, historians can reconstruct the material world of seventeenth-century Jamestown colonists and the family structures of eighteenth-century enslaved men and women of the Chesapeake. Using the technology of the twentieth century, we can computerize hundreds, even thousands, of tax records or probate court documents and discover patterns that reveal economic differences among residents of a nineteenth-century city or the steady growth of a consumer culture in the early Republic.
In addition, the tools people leave behind are clues to the lives of women and men who did not have the time or the skill to record their thoughts and experiences in letters. Slave ship logs provide documentation of journeys taken, while the oral histories passed from one generation to another preserve life stories as valid as those preserved in diaries. Modern-day census data, tax returns, business audits, architectural drawings, department store catalogues, clothing, jewelry -- even your students' report cards and term papers -- these will all be primary sources for future historians hoping to understand our society and culture.
Increasingly, teachers at every level are bringing primary sources into the classroom. Working with these sources, students learn how to piece together a story of the past and how to become active investigators and analysts, rather than passive listeners to a story. In reading a slave's account of her escape to freedom or a soldier's account of a World War I battle, students develop their capacity to empathize with the world views of people distant from them in both time and space.
Because we believe that bringing the "stuff" of history into the classroom is so important, HISTORY NOW devotes its second issue to the examination of primary sources. Our contributing scholars focus on four different types of primary sources and apply them to the task of looking at the history of enslaved African Americans. Their essays tell us not only what these types of sources reveal but also how to evaluate their validity and how to use them effectively. David Blight, at Yale University, writes about slave narratives as both an historical source and a literary genre. Eric Foner, at Columbia University, looks at the Reconstruction Amendments and the social history behind them. Douglas R. Egerton, from Le Moyne College, explains the importance of looking at artifacts enslaved people left behind. And Annette Gordon-Reed, from New York Law School, discusses the intersection of oral history and documentary evidence.
We have provided four lesson plans from master teachers outlining ways in which to use primary sources at the fifth grade, middle school, and high school levels. The lesson plans include printable primary sources such as abolitionist broadsides and runaway slave notices, and links to outside resources that provide a host of ideas for your classroom. Our interactive map of the United States will give students a chance to examine primary sources relating to slavery from every region of the country, and our archivist once again gives resource suggestions for further study.
We look forward to hearing from you at our "Digital Drop Box," where you can submit questions, comments, and stories from your classroom.

Half-a-million Android Activations Per Day
Google is activating half a million Android devices a day, a big jump in just the last couple months, a sign of growing momentum for the platform. While SymbianOS appears to be hanging on in the mobile arena, trends indicate that the iOS share is slipping slightly, losing ground to Android. The pure marketshare numbers don't tell the whole story, since the entire segment is growing rapidly, so even platforms that are in declining share might be adding new users. But if the upsurge in Android activations continues, Android may overtake iOS in a few months and move into second place behind SymbianOS. Blackberry is in a slow decline, while WP7 does not have enough market share to appear in the statistics.

The first two weeks of teaching in Santa Cruz, Bolivia
In mid-July of 1980, Dennis and I arrived in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. We had accepted a two-year teaching contract at the Santa Cruz Cooperative School (SCCS).
Just a couple of days after we arrived, Bolivia had a military coup. We sat it out at the school director's house, with several other newly-arrived teachers who didn't have apartments yet.
In a couple more days, the markets and shops reopened, and everyone came out of their houses and went back to work. The new government established checkpoints on the main roads, military patrols of the streets, new papers for foreigners to carry, and a midnight curfew for one and all.
For us newcomers to the country, these restrictions were just part of the overall strangeness. We settled into our little apartment and got ready to teach school.
The seasons are reversed south of the equator, so it was winter when we arrived in July. The school year at SCCS ran from August through May. This put the seniors on the right schedule to go to college in the U.S., and also worked well for hiring teachers from the U.S. It also put us in school through the hottest months of tropical summer!
Instruction at SCCS was in English, but its students came from everywhere. Some were the children of rich Bolivians. Others were the children of foreigners working in Santa Cruz -- Americans, British, French, Israelis, Taiwanese, Koreans, Germans, Swedes, etc.
Many of the foreign families in SCCS were connected with sugar plantations and refineries or gas drilling and pipelines. Some families were in Santa Cruz with U.N. programs, as representatives of their home countries, missionaries, entrepreneurs, or expert advisors in some field.
When I look at the SCCS website, I am astonished at the growth and apparent prosperity of the school. When we taught there, the school didn't have as many buildings as it does today.
Here's an excerpt from a letter I wrote to my family on September 1, 1980:
School has started and it has kept us busy and mentally, if not physically, exhausted. We have two weeks under our belts now. We had a week of orientation and then students on Monday the 18th.
I think this has been the most difficult two weeks of school teaching I have ever done. The kids came in absolutely wild, and it has taken stern measures to keep them quiet and in their desks long enough to attempt to teach anything. Also, of my 18 kids, only one speaks English at home, so I explain and show, and re-explain and show again, endlessly. In Reading class, I teach not just the recognition of the word, but also the meaning. The language barrier makes everything about twice as hard as it would ordinarily be.
They are starting to shape up a bit as far as keeping quiet. We have very high ceilings and a brick tile floor, so any chair scraping or whispering echoes badly! If one other person is making noise, it is hard to hear whoever should be talking. So I'm sure my second graders think Mrs. Netz is really a grouch about being quiet.
However, I am learning the vocabulary that they can understand and adjusting to them somewhat--as they are to me. It is frustrating much of the time, but still it's rewarding when someone does understand.
I have 7 girls and 11 boys in my room. Dennis has 22 in his room. He has been having the same language problems as me, though to a lesser degree because his are 4th graders and have had more years of speaking English. With all this and the stress of being a first-year teacher, I'm sure he will always vividly remember these next months.

Chief Seattle Council Service Center and Scout Shops are closed until May 4th. Our staff are working from home, and can be reached via email.
We're very happy to be getting a more formal presence on the web so fellow Eagles can learn about what is going on with Boy Scouts of America, National Eagle Scout Association, and other local Eagles. Check back frequently as we will continue to add more information as the group grows and more events get scheduled.
Some of you may have noticed several years ago BSA started an effort to create a directory of all of the Eagle Scouts in the country. If you haven't heard this or been contacted, hopefully this site will help you learn about what is going on and give you the ability to get back involved with the program.
To help the BSA in this endeavor, a local chapter of Eagle Scout Alumni has been created in cooperation with the Chief Seattle Council. At this point it consists of a LinkedIn group of which we hope all Eagle Scouts will join. The group is working on various events for everyone to participate in. Check out the Events page for more information.
We hope this website will be helpful to you and are looking for any volunteers and suggestions on how to improve the group and this website.
Best wishes to you all!
Eagle Scouts of Western Washington
We are hoping to have regular events with this group and are very open to any suggestions you may have. Please click here to send us your suggestions!

If Japan's NTT DoCoMo has its way, future mobile phones will feature data speeds of 250 Mbps and biochips that could analyze a drop of blood or sweat for illness or stress.
In research findings released this week, the Japanese mobile phone service provider tipped its hand on distant future product plans, although it may take several years for many of them to reach the market. DoCoMo's labs in Yokosuka, Japan, tested a technology called Long Term Evolution and hit data rates of 250 Mbps on the downlink.
In the biochip work, DoCoMo said its experiments with researchers at the University of Toyko were able to successfully demonstrate what it calls "the world's first molecular delivery system for molecular communication." The researchers combined communication technology and biochemistry to use molecules as a communications medium.
"DoCoMo aims to develop systems that could transmit information about the biochemical conditions of living organisms, such as excitement, emotion, stress, or disease," DoCoMo said in a release. The approach could eventually lead to the creation of a biochemical analyzer or a fingertip-sized biochip that would be useful in medical and health situations.
Included in a mobile phone, the biochip could generate data and send it to medical specialists using standard wireless transmission techniques. In addition to health and environmental applications, DoCoMo suggested it also could have entertainment purposes: it could be used for long distance fortune telling.
As for the research in LTE, which it calls Super 3G, DoCoMo said it will discuss the results of its tests in detail at next week's CTIA Wireless event. DoCoMo has an aggressive deployment schedule for the ultra high-speed technology and has targeted 2010 for initial rollout. Many mobile phone service providers have committed to LTE, although actual deployment schedules still are vague.
Verizon Wireless (including its Vodafone Group equity partner) recently said it plans to move to LTE and the GSM Association, representing most of the world's cell phone service providers, also has endorsed LTE.
DoCoMo picked Ericsson as its partner to supply LTE infrastructure. Ericsson also has been soliciting winners of the recent 700-MHz spectrum auction as candidates for its LTE infrastructure technology.

On the death of Zachary, a certain priest Stephen was unanimously elected to succeed him (about 23 March, 752); but on the third day after his election, whilst transacting some domestic affairs, he was struck with apoplexy, and expired on the next day. As he died before his consecration, earlier writers do not appear to have included him in the list of the popes; but, in accordance with the long standing practice of the Roman Church, he is now generally counted among them. This divergent practice has introduced confusion into the way of counting the Popes Stephen.

A new Biblical Obama slogan making the rounds on conservative T-shirts and bumper stickers is being interpreted as calling for the president's death.
The slogan "Pray for Obama: Psalm 109:8" seems innocent enough, but the actual verse reads: "Let his days be few; and let another take his office."
The psalm goes on to say: "May his children be orphans, and his wife a widow." Read the entire psalm here.
Scholars contend that the entire chapter is a plea for God to smite an evil man.
Going beyond simple ill will, the psalm asks that that the victim lose all his worldly goods, that his orphans be abandoned, that his father be remembered as a sinner, and finally, that "his memory be cut off from the earth."
Those with knowledge of the bible say the passage, which is part of a class of psalms called "imprectory" prayers, should not be used at all.
One online marketplace site thought the t-shirt was inflamatory enough to ban it from their sales ranks.
Zazzle.com said:" It is only after great thought that we have determined that these products, in the context of the full text of Psalm 109, may be interpreted in such a way as to suggest physical harm to the President of the United States. In deference to the Office of the President of the United States, and in accordance with federal law prohibiting the making of threats against the physical wellbeing of the President of the United States, Zazzle has therefore determined that these products are in violation of the Zazzle User Agreement and not appropriate for inclusion in the Zazzle Marketplace. We have begun efforts to remove them from our website, and we will be vigilant to the publication of similar products moving forward."
U.S. & World
The Christian Science Monitor asked a few people if the slogan could be considered hate speech.
"Are we concerned about real hostility towards [President Obama]? Absolutely," Deborah Lauter, director of civil rights at the Anti-Defamation League said. "Is this a part of that movement? It may be, but in terms of this message itself, we would not criticize it.
"The problem is you don't know if people who are donning that message in a shirt or on a bumper sticker are fully aware of the quote or what follows. Obviously that message makes the ambiguity disappear. If they're just referring to him being out of office, that's one thing. If they're referring to him being dead, that's so offensive. It's protected speech, but it's clearly offensive."

We've all been there; hardest decision we've ever had to make. College and debt or freedom but no career? Start a family or live out alone? The number 2 with a small shake or side of fries?!
[Leon] sent in his random number generator, oddly enough not to just generate a number, but help us through with those life altering decisions. Using a noise diode like setup he's able to generate random bits, which an ATtiny24 then converts and displays on a 7 segment LED. His generator also has the ability to set upper and lower limits. Seems like an awful lot of work to avoid the freedom of choice paradox, but we enjoyed the project none the less. Check out a video after the break. Continue reading "We'll Take The Fries."

I am sure most of you are aware that Maybelline have launched a new line of cream eye shadows which are nicely housed in a small jar. They were originally released a couple of months ago in the US and in the UK have been waiting patiently for them to be released in the UK, but the wait is now over as they have officially hit the shelves. A little confusing has arisen as there is only 7 shades in the line when there are 10 in the US and shade name are also different. To me the colours look pretty much the same but they have just changed the name.
So let's come to the topic. These are really pigmented gel/cream eye shadows and  I am reviewing the product in shade 20- Turquoise Forever which is described as Frosty aqua vibrant blue by Maybelline. It's pretty good shade for our Indian outfits as well and that's why I opted for this colour.
Price and packaging:-
 It costs 4.99 GBP for 0.14 OZ (4 GRAMS) and  the product is housed in a glass jar with a plastic screw top lid, so very similar to Mac Paint Pots.
- Availability:  You can get in any drug store/ huge departmental store across US/UK.I am sorry girls!! As of now they are not available in INDIA…hope they will launch soon. You can order online or ask any of your friends to get for you.
My Experience with Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow :-
The Colour Tattoo eye shadows claim to be smudge proof, crease proof and last for up to 24 hours!Now coming onto the important stuff. I always feel like when products claim to last 24 hours they very rarely get the opportunity to really be put to the test, as I imagine very few people keep their make-up on for a full day! I can vouch that this stuff does stay put for a decent amount of time though (a full working day at least)
The colour range I personally think is fab.I don't normally wear bright coloured eye shadow but this is very different, stolen my heart. The pigmentation and formulation of the eye shadows is amazing. They are so creamy and don't feel sticky and grainy on the skin at all .I read reviews about this product,all are comparing these with MAC paint pots,I can't do that because I never used any MAC paint pots before 🙁
What I liked about Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow
- Â Long stay up to 12 hours for sure.
- Â Very creamy without primer also it will work.
- Â Affordable price.
- Â Good colour range to choose from.
- Â Nice and sturdy packaging.
- Â Travel friendly.
- Â Pigmentation is good.
What I do not like about Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Eyeshadows:-
- Â My only criticism is the lack of a lighter shade in the range; I think a champagne colour that would just give the eyes a bit of 'something' on a day to day basis would be a welcome addition.
I got some pictures and swatches for you to decide so that when these are here in India you can order them online and avail discounts 🙂
Permanent Taupe
Endless Purple
 Eternal Gold
On And On Bronze
Swatches – Torquise, Eternal Gold, Permanent Taupe, Endless Purple, On and on bronze
 Final note:
 Overall I was pretty impressed by this product, given that it only cost me £4.99. It's easily comparable to my favourite cream eye shadows and for a fraction of the price I don't think you can go wrong with these.

French in a Flash: Niçoise Toasts with Fresh Tuna and Tomatoes
Get the Recipe
I could reinvent the Niçoise salad a thousand ways, and I have. But what brings me back to it constantly is how punchy it is. Big flavors. Big colors. Big personalities. This is not a salad of wallflowers—illustrated perfectly by the fact that lettuce is an afterthought. Just thick chunks of tuna, briny olives, emphatic little capers, and sun-bright lemon.
And that's what I've reduced it to here. Fresh tuna steaks roasted with salt and olive oil and cut into chunks. Sweet grape tomatoes, simply halved. Green and black olives. Capers for punch. Olive oil and lemon. Combined, they make a simple salad that turns into the topping on this easy tartine. The only other embellishment on the grilled bread is a swipe of garlic and a simple basil fromage blanc to anchor everything and bring in that taste of Provence.
The taste, even at this time of year, is so fresh and sun-soaked, you can't help but feel like the sun must be shining somewhere. Probably in Nice.

The Eta Aquarids meteor shower peaks Thursday night
Stay up late Thursday night, head outside and look up.
Hopefully you will catch a glimpse of the Eta Aquarids, a meteor shower caused by the Earth's current passage through the dusty debris field that Halley's Comet has left behind.
Peaking overnight and into the predawn hours on Friday, the Eta Aquarids can produce around 10 to 20 meteors per hour. EarthSky says the hours just before dawn — from 3 to 6 a.m. — on Friday will likely boast the most meteors.
According to NASA, the Eta Aquarids are known for their speed, reaching up to 148,000 mph when they hurl into the Earth's atmosphere. These high speeds can produce long trains, or tails of glowing debris that can linger for several seconds in the wake of the meteor.
Though this annual shower is best viewed from the southern hemisphere, Colorado and the northern hemisphere on average see around 10 meteors per hour. When seen from northern latitudes, Eta Aquarids often appear as "earthgrazers" — meteors that seem to skim the Earth's surface near the horizon, NASA says.
An almost moonless night (the new moon comes Friday) and partly cloudy skies Thursday night should make for favorable viewing conditions. Overnight temperatures in Denver are expected to hover around the low 50s.
And keep an eye out through the weekend as meteors can still be seen for several nights following the shower's peak.

Preparing to sell to the government
Selling to the government can be a profitable step for many businesses.
Make an informed choice
When seeking to enter the government market, and indeed all types of markets, you should do your homework and be well-prepared. To win a contract, you must understand your target market. In some provinces, government organizations may include government boards, councils, committees, commissions and publicly-funded academic, health and social service organizations.
Assess your business
You must carefully assess your business' resources and your strategic and competitive positioning. Ask yourself what your production capacity is, what your position vis-à-vis the competition is, and what your short-, mid- and long-term plans are. Take a good look at your human, physical and technical resources. Evaluate your research and development activities. Analyze your supply and production capabilities in terms of distribution, delivery and after-sales service. The answers to these questions will help you determine if you can tackle public markets and fulfill government contracts.
Study various procurement routes
It can be demanding to fully understand government procurement and to properly target potential niches. In large cities like Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, there are several hundred public organizations that function differently for their procurement. Learn to recognize the different approaches to procurement and decide whether or not to participate in them. Types of procurement approaches include direct procurement, the use of supplier files, grouping of purchases, publicly advertised tender calls or limited tendering, and standing offers.
The plan of attack for government contracts varies from one business to the next: some companies will concentrate their efforts on accessing and searching national publicly advertised tender calls; others will initially approach government contracts via the local procurement route (below a certain dollar value and via registration in vendor files). Others will monitor government procurement for strategic purposes only, that is, without seeking to win contracts, but simply to identify and keep track of the competition.
- How to become a supplier to large projects
Do you want to become a subcontractor or supplier for a large scale-project? Find out about strategies that may help you.
Get help to monitor opportunities
Depending on your situation, you could assign someone in your business to monitor these business opportunities with government or you could hire an outside market intelligence service. The upside to hiring an intelligence service is that they can often provide help in a number of areas. They could help you:
- Understand the regulations surrounding government contracts
- Find information on government purchasing requirements
- Find information relating to trade treaties and agreements
- Deal with the purchasing body
- Develop personalized strategic tools
- Settle contract disputes
- Get training on advanced subjects relating to government procurement
Find business opportunities
When a government body needs goods or services valued over a certain dollar amount, the body (purchaser) must publicly advertise a request for proposals. You can find these advertisements on electronic bulletin boards such as Buyandsell.gc.ca, MERX or SEAO (in Quebec). Other places to look for such advertisements are on the websites of the procuring body and in specialized and general newspapers.
For procurement activities of an estimated value below a certain dollar amount, practices may vary from one government body to the next. Many organizations keep a list of possible suppliers (vendor files) whom they contact for either bids or sole-source services that are of low dollar value. You will have to contact the organization directly to make your business known to the government purchasing agent or register as a supplier in specialized databases.
Here are some additional sources of information that will give you a good start on understanding and searching for business opportunities with governments.
- Selling to the federal government
Find out about selling to the Government of Canada, including registering as a supplier, finding opportunities, and preparing bids.
- Selling to provincial, territorial and municipal governments
Take advantage of the many opportunities for selling goods and services to provincial and territorial governments across the country.
- Selling to foreign governments
Expand your market by selling your goods or services to governments of foreign countries.
- MERX — Canadian Public Tenders

5 purchases you shouldn't skimp onOllie Geiger
In a world packed with options for consumers, when does it make sense to put price aside and buy exactly what you want?
Placing cost in the back seat may seem ridiculous in today's competitive marketplace. But on certain purchases, getting precisely what you need is the only way to go. While it may not be wise to make extravagant choiceswhen buying the following items, trying too hard to save money on them may be an even bigger mistake.
These are five purchases you shouldn't skimp on.
Your mattress
Why shouldn't you skimp on a mattress? The average person sleeps 7.5 hours per night. The average mattress has a lifespan of more than 10 years. That means the next time you walk out of your local mattress store, you should be ready to spend more than 27,000 hours atop the thing you're carrying.
But aren't all mattresses pretty good nowadays? While the mattress you buy today may be better than your last one, you shouldn't ignore the cumulative effect that 27,000 hours of anything can have on you. Even if the mattress you prefer is only 5 percent more comfortable than a cheaper one, that's 27,000 hours of 5 percent more comfort. Would you sacrifice that for a little extra up-front cost?
Your car
Like mattresses, today's cars are generally better than their older counterparts. But also like a mattress, your car is an item that will be closely tied to your existence for the time you own it. For this reason, it's key that you make a list of features you need in your new car before you visit the lot. It's important to stick to this list when you choose your car - even if a "deal" on a lesser vehicle tempts you to do otherwise.
Buying a car that doesn't quite fit your needs - whether it's too small, slow or aged - is a sure recipe for ongoing discomfort. But like a free kitten in front of a grocery store, an ill-suited vehicle can enter your possession very easily. When it's sitting on the lot with a fresh coat of wax and an attractive price on the window, a car that lacks features you need - four-wheel drive, for example - may tempt you. But remember that you and that car will likely be together for many miles - and possibly some winter snowstorms.
Your vacation
On the surface, a vacation can seem like a prime opportunity to save money: It's a non-essential purchase that exists only in your memory - and possibly on your credit card statement - once those glorious two weeks are over. So how can you go wrong by trying to save on vacations? Easy: by taking ones that are too short or skipping them completely.
According to the Mayo Clinic, stress can contribute to ailments including heart disease, obesity, depression, sleep problems, digestive problems, memory impairments and skin problems. But even if you don't consider vacation a long-term stress-reliever, think of this: You have a choice between possessing two types of memories in old age. The first type involves rich experiences abroad, seeing the world with family and friends. The second type involves the knowledge that you saved money on airfare and hotel accommodations for many years. The decision is yours.
Your groceries
Given the prominence of coupons and big-box discount stores today, groceries are another realm that appears ripe for saving. But while there's much said in the personal finance world about the dangers of going shopping on an empty stomach, doing the opposite isn't necessarily the cure: Going when you're not hungry at all - or simply trying too hard to cut back on your grocery bill - can also end up costing you more.
How so? Even though your appetite may not be present when you're shopping, rest assured it will return. When it does, having a lightly stocked cupboard can lead to you venturing out in search of food - and the options you find there are likely to be more costly and less healthy than the items you would have picked up at the store. Save yourself time and money by tossing what you really need into your shopping cart instead.
Gifts for your spouse
Have the previous purchases seemed like counterintuitive choices? If so, you may be glad to see this exquisitely obvious item on the list. While you shouldn't use money as a proxy for love in your relationships, spending less than your partner expects on a gift is likely to send a message that only someone who enjoys sleeping alone on a couch would ever want to send.
Again, this shouldn't be taken as an excuse for reckless spending - many husbands and wives may find unpaid credit card bills more bothersome than cheap gifts. But when it comes to a choice between two options of slightly different costs, choosing the more expensive one may offer some reasonably priced insurance against marital discord.

The Integrated Status and Effectiveness Project (ISEMP) was created nearly 10 years ago to systematically answer questions such as "what is the best way to measure stream habitat?" and "what is the best way to measure salmonid populations?" These questions are related to the management that underpins the proposed tributary habitat-based, off-site mitigation strategy of the Federal Columbia River Power System Biological Opinion (FCRPS BiOp) quantitative tools that relate habitat condition to fish populations in a framework that supports habitat and population management decision making. We develop monitoring conducted under the ISEMP project which falls into three discrete, but related, categories:
ISEMP has developed fish and habitat status and trends monitoring efforts in the Wenatchee, John Day, South Fork Salmon, and Lemhi subbasins and in 2011 initiated the Columbia Habitat Monitoring Program (CHaMP) to further develop standardized fish and habitat monitoring.
The goal of CHaMP is to generate and implement a standard set of fish habitat monitoring (status and trend) methods in up to 26 watersheds across the Columbia River basin. The watersheds have been chosen to maximize the contrast in current habitat conditions and also represent a temporal gradient of expected change in condition through planned habitat actions. Surveys will be conducted in watersheds with perceived large juvenile life-stage survival gaps due to habitat impairments or that are home to existing high quality fish monitoring infrastructure. CHaMP implementation will occur on the spatial scale of the Technical Recovery Team (TRT) populations with the intention for inference on habitat quality and quantity at the fish population level.

I would like to compute the Tutte polynomial of the complete graph $K_n$ for n as large as possible. Using a program by Björklund, Husfeldt, Kaski, Koivisto (here), I managed to compute up to n=18 on my home computer (in serial) in less than a day. Overall, I've been very impressed by this program.
I'm likely to include the results of these computations in an upcoming paper, so, for comparison, I would also like to mention what people have done previously in the area. (Also, I'd like to check that the computations are consistent with one another.)
Question: How far have others computed the Tutte polynomial of the complete graph?

Hope quarterback Michael Atwell has been selected to the Capital One Academic All-District® Team selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
The senior from Geneseo, Ill., (Geneseo HS) carries a 3.90 GPA while pursuing a double major of Biology and Chemistry. He has thrown for 2,245 yards and 17 touchdowns this season while leading the Flying Dutchmen to a 7-2 overall record.
Hope will play for a Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) championship and NCAA Division III playoff berth on Nov. 16 when it hosts Albion.
Atwell, who is applying for medical school, was the only quarterback among 24 NCAA Division III honorees in District 6 that covered the states of Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. It is the second consecutive time he's been selected Academic All-District®.
First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the Capital One Academic All-America® Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.
The Capital One Academic All-District Team recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom. Capital One has been the entitlement rights holder to CoSIDA's Academic All-America teams programs since 2011.
The Academic All-District® teams include the student-athletes listed on the following pages and are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada.
This is the third year of the expanded Academic All-America® program as CoSIDA moved from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non Division I) and has doubled the number of scholar-athletes honored. The expanded teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College Division Academic All-America® Team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.

DFLer Kelly Moller scored a resounding Election Day victory by recent standards in House District 42A, beating incumbent Republican Rep. Randy Jessup by more than 3,200 votes.
Election Day was a good day for incumbent city council members in Arden Hills, Shoreview, Lauderdale, Little Canada and Mounds View — it didn't hurt that many ran unopposed this fall.
Arden Hills
Coming out of a lively campaign season in which a pre-primary field of nine candidates were up for three seats, the Roseville City Council will be mostly the same come next year.
It was all comfortable margins for the DFL incumbents in House districts 41A, 41B, 42B and 66A, who by the end of Election Day on Nov. 6 had all tallied at least 60 percent of the vote in their respective races to win.
The shocking details just kept piling up: the woman's grandson was in jail in New Jersey, he'd been charged with DWI and had hit a pregnant woman with his car.
The Lauderdale City Council voted last month to raise the tobacco sales age in the community from 18 to 21, joining more than a dozen Minnesota cities in doing so.
This fall is the third time that longtime incumbent House District 66A DFL Rep. Alice Hausman will face off against Republican Jon Heyer.
It's been eight years since there's been a competitive race for Ramsey County Sheriff though the position has still changed hands twice since 2010.
The margins in the races for House District 42A have been razor thin as of late. Rep. Randy Jessup won the 2016 race by fewer than 200 votes; in 2014, he lost the race by only 220.

It was small and it charming and was my own little house.
and I admired it and loved it.
I guess it was probably the start of all of my house renovating and decorating obsessions.
and even set a little table in the dining area on occasion.
I added just a few touches of Christmas out here...
and a fresh wreath from Lowes dotted with vintage ornaments was perfect.
so just a few photos today and I will share more with a Christmas Cottage tour soon.
For now, I need to read up on how to set the camera for Christmas lights (without the yellowing)
and dark rainy skies. It is supposed to be dumping rain all week here.

Boker Gorm Bread Knife 9.25" Blade, Black Micarta Handles - 130562
BO130562: Boker Gorm | 9.25" Knife
The Vikings impressed us when we were kids. Obviously they still inspire us today...
The Boker Gorm.
Today, the Vikings are still a synonym for extraordinary abilities. Not only were they brave and courageous seamen and warriors, but also very competent forgers. Contrary to the Japanese tradition, the high end Northern blades were not given from generation to generation as a heritage, but were lost for posterity due to their destination as burial objects in the sea - or fire burials when the owner passed away.
Designed by the renowned knifemaker Jesper Voxnaes from Denmark, the homeland of the Vikings, and handmade in the Boker Manufactory in Solingen, Germany, the home of high quality blades, the Gorm (named after the first Danish king) combines ageless virtues which make this knife series a real masterpiece of kitchen cutlery.
The choice of materials is as extraordinary as the design. Equipped with stainless 440C steel with its high edge retention and a Rockwell hardness of 58-59° HRC, Gorm is by far superior to any ordinary kitchen knife blades, and is as tough as the Vikings.
The characteristically shaped hole in the blade makes the Gorm especially unique. But this is not only a design feature, it also provides a functional benefit - it works as a "tactile response point," which provides excellent control while you "choke forward" on the handle like the professional chefs do.
From an ergonomic standpoint, the Gorm sets a new standard. The specially shaped handle is perfect for long and extended work, with a comfortable grip. Furthermore, it is impossible to slide forward and hurt yourself on the cutting edge. The handle scales are made of milled canvas Micarta with the typical linen texture, which is not only very robust, but also gives a very secure grip. The grip gets even better when the knife or hands are wet.
Every Gorm knife is an expression of the finest kitchen culture. For that, you get your personal Gorm knife delivered in an attractive gift box, with an individual serial number.
- Innovative and exceptional design from Scandinavia and manufactured in Solingen, Germany.
- Functional and rugged construction with high quality materials.
- 440C blade steel for outstanding edge retention.
- Ergonomically designed handle scales are made of milled canvas Micarta.
- Blade Length: 9.25"
- Thickness: 2.3 mm
- Overall Length: 13.75"
- Weight: 6.2 oz.
- Handle: Black Canvas Micarta
- Item No. 130562
- Made in Solingen, Germany
