Gharana names normally are place names: the names
of the places were the founders lived or came
from. The Rampur-Sahaswan khayal gharana, as it
is quite apparent, gets its name from two places.
First, Rampur (in Uttar Pradesh) which was a major
centre of North-Indian classical music from the
reign of its fifth nawab, Nawab Yusuf Ali (1840-1868).
This line of nawabs was of Afghan origin. The
second, Sahaswan is a village in the Badayun district
of the same state in which most of the gharana's
famous musicians, were born. It is near Rampur.
All the musicians of the Sahaswan khandan, that
is family or dynasty, are said to have descended
from two brothers, Karim Bux and Rahim Bux. These
two exponents are said to have belonged to the
dhrupad tradition. Ustad Mushtaq Hussain's
father was the son of the first, while Ustad Inayat
Hussain's father was the third son of the
second. Ustad Nissar Hussain Khan's grandfather,
Ustad Haider Khan was the son of Rahim Bux's
first son, Ali Bux. The story of the Rampur Sahaswan
khayal gharana begins with Ustad Inayat Hussain
Khan (1849-1919). He was the son of Ustad Mehboob
Khan, a khayal singer and Veena player of the
Rampur court. He taught younger sons Ali Hussain
and Mohammed Hussain the veena and they were employed
in the Rampur court in that capacity. Mehboob
Khan is said to have performed khayals in a simple
style with an emphasis on tappa-style taans, which
can be taken to be an indication of his affiliation
to the Gwalior khayal gharana which introduced
this kind of taan and also the tappa genre itself.
He was also a beenkar or veena player. His first
off-spring was a daughter who was married to the
earlier-mentioned Ustad Haider Khan. Inayat Hussain
is said to have shown unusual singing talent in
his childhood and so his father after some basic
training took him to one of the chief court musicians
of the Rampur court for further training . So
as Inayat Hussain, the founder of the gharana,
hailed from Sahaswan and was trained and lived
in Rampur, gharana came to be called Rampur Sahaswan.
This was at the time of Nawab Yusuf Ali and the
chief court musicians were sursringar maestro
Ustad Bahadur Hussain (expired 1870) of the Rababi
gharana believed to have originated from the youngest
son of Mian Tansen and Ustad Amir Khan of the
Beenkar gharana believed to have descended from
Tansen's daughter. Though a dhrupad exponent
and a sursringer player, Bahadur Hussain taught
exquiste taranas to khayal singers and tarana-based
compositions to sitar and sarod players.
Inayat Hussain was put under the charge of Bahadur
Hussain from his childhood . According to his
third son-in-law, the late Ustad Nissar Hussain
Khan (1912-1993) who was Rashid Khan's maternal
grand-uncle and guru, Inayat Hussain was initially
taught only paltas (ascending and descending permutations
and combinations of notes) in the ragas Gour Sarang
and Bhairav. This was apparently done to build
his vocal prowess and grasp of the tonal compass.
For the scales of the two ragas together cover
10 notes of the 12-note chromatic scale. This
went on for a very long time. When asked by interested
ustads what kind of progress young Inayat was
making, Bahadur Hussain used to say that the boy
was very young and was not being taught any compositions
or ragas proper, he was only practicing paltas
to build up his voice. Once he developed sufficient
control over the notes he would be taught ragas
and songs proper and the means of elborating these,
he used to say. But the interested ustads wanted
to hear the boy singing and could not be put off
for long. Succumbing to the pressure one day,
Bahadur Hussain invited some of these ustads to
come and hear the boy after a week or so. The
moment the prospective listeners left, the ustad
called Inayat Hussain and taught him some compositions
in Yaman and Bihag and showed him how he was to
alter the paltas of Gour Sarang to suit these
ragas and the notes and phrases that were to be
emphasised in the new ragas. When the boy sang
khayals in these ragas on the designated evening,
the assembled ustads were simply astounded by
his skill and artistry. They congratulated Bahadur
Hussain for his amazing teaching methods and left
Ustad Inayat Hussain was taught traditional khayals
and the exquisite taranas created by Bahadur Hussain
in all major ragas and also many rare ones. He
not only became one the greatest khayal singers
of the Rampur court but one of the all-time greats
of Indian classical music. He composed many classic
khayals in major ragas which are sung by exponents
of many gharanas today. Many of these like 'tadapata
raina din' in Maru Bihag, 'jhanana jhanana' in
Chhaya Nat and 'papi dadurba bulai' in Gour Malhar
are regularly sung by exponents with little or
no connection with Rampur Sahaswan whatsoever.
But the Inayat Hussain style was not only made
up of the material and training he received from
Ustad Bahadur Hussain. It acquired a further dimension
when Inayat Hussain married the second daughter
of Ustad Haddu Khan of the Gwalior khayal gharana.
This gharana, out of which practically all khayal
gharanas are believed to have evolved, has produced
some of the greatest khayals singers of the nation,
Haddu Khan being one of the best of these. The
story goes that Haddu Khan's sons Rahamat
Khan and Chhote Muhammed Khan were looking for
a suitable groom for their sister. Inayat Hussain
was then on a tour of Gwalior and had performed
in several important mehfils. Impressed by the
artistic prowess, fame and tall, strapping physique
of Inayat Hussain and his noble, courtly manners,
they invited him to meet their father.
At the meeting, Haddu Khan himself was equally
impressed. After some time, the ustad asked Inayat
Hussain to sing. After politely refusing a couple
times, saying that he was not good enough a singer
to perform before a personage of the stature of
the great Ustad Haddu Khan, Inayat Hussain started
his performance. The complex style, astounding
vocal prowess and three-octave taankari bowled
Haddu Khan over and he immediately proposed that
Inayat Hussain should marry his daughter. A son
and daughter resulted from this marriage but both
of them died young. However, the marriage resulted
in Inayat Hussain receiving training from Haddu
Khan. This led to the the stretching of the horizons
of the original Inayat Hussain style and the additon
of the wealth traditional Gwalior gharana techniques,
formats and compostions to his repertoire.
Inayat Hussain trained his son Sabir Hussain and
a lot of stalwart pupils in his day. These included
Khadim Hussain, Chharju Khan, Nazir Khan, Bashir
Khan, Ramkrishna Bua, Shivsevak Mishra of Varanasi,
Hafiz Khan of Gurdwani gharana of Mysore and,of
course, his son-in-law Ustad Mushtaq Hussain Khan
(1874-1964). It is through the styles of his sons-in-law
that contemporary experts have formed their idea
of the Rampur Sahaswan style and it is through
their pupils and their sons-in-law that the gharana
stays aloft today. Like the sons-in-law, Inayat
Hussain's three daughters, naturally played
a big role in keeping the gharana alive. The third
daughter Sabri Begum was married to Waris Hussain
Khan and gave birth to leading senior contemporary
exponent Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan and daughter
Shakhri Begum. Shakhri Begum, married to Hamid
Raza Khan, gave birth to Ustad Rashid Khan, the
younger but equally famous contemporary exponent.
Ghulam Mustafa was trained by his father, who
in turn had been trained by Inayat Hussain himself,
Nissar Hussain's father Fida Hussain (1883-1948)
and Nissar Hussain himself. Nissar Hussain, who
received his training from his grandfather Ustar
Haidar Hussain Khan also trained up his son and
successor Sarafraz Hussain (who expired in 1999),
son-in-law Ghulam Akbar and son-in-law Hafiz Ahmed
Khan. Rashid Khan also received all his training
from Nissar Hussain partly at Budaun and partly
at Sangeet Research Academy, Calcutta right from
his childhood.
The Gharana Style
As already mentioned, contemporary experts and
have formed their idea of the Rampur-Sahaswan
Gharana style, or gayaki as it is called, mainly
from the performances of Ustad Mushtaq Hussain
Khan and Ustad Nissar Hussain Khan. People who
had first-hand or even second-hand experience
of the Inayat Hussain's style of singing
apparently did not put their experience or views
on record. However, out of a general analysis
of these views the following may be said to be
the general characteristics of the Rampur Sahaswan
style: --
(1) The visible impact of the instrumental style
of the Veena and Sursringar in the form of character
of the meend and sooth used by the singers.
(2) Use of the lyrics of the song in all stages
of the vilambit khayal in preference to aakar.
The words of the song, moreover are presented
in the natural order and over-emphasis on any
single word is generally avoided.
(3) The use of bahalwa as the main means of slow
elaboration in the vilambit khayal. This is a
device is prescribed by the Gwalior gharana and
comprises slow-motion taan-like figures with long
meends adding life to the movement. Stalwarts
like Mushtaq Hussain went on to this type of movements
after singing the basic composition and then on
to rhythmic movements and medium-paced taankari.
There was no slow melodic elaboration or vistar
in the vilambit khayals as used by modern exponents.
(4) The use of intricate bol-taans, satta taans,
and chhoot taans. The faster movements cover three
octaves and the last type of taans often skip
an entire octave while going up or coming down.
(5) The specialisation in singing taranas. The
preservation of the Inayat Hussain repertoire
of taranas learnt from Bahadur Hussain and the
expansion of the range through contributions by
leading exponents has given the gharana a virtual
treasury of taranas. Most exponents sing taranas
in their own special manner at recitals. Nissar
Hussain was an aknowledged expert in this field
. In the final portion of his taranas their was
bolkari in the manner of the thok jhala of the
veena and the sursringar with the twangy, jangling
sound of the old instruments being realistically
imitated by nasal intonation.
(6) Leading exponents have specialised in singing
the Islamic religious song forms known as Soz
and Marsia. These are generally performed as part
of religious observances during Muharram when
other forms of music are prohibited. But gharana
exponents have also performed them in private
mehfils before appreciative audinences.
Of course, all singers of the gharana have not,
or do not display all the general characteristics
noted above in all individual performances. Some
have included apparently contradictory material
as well. For instance some experts have noted
that Ustad Mushtaq Hussain Khan at times developed
his vilambit khayal with note-by-note elaboration
of the raga. But others have said that he started
his recitals with an aakar-based aochar and did
not sing any slow melodic elboration at all, going
on to the bahalwas in the strict Gwalior-Rampur
Sahaswan manner after singing the first part of
the composition. Ustad Nissar Hussain Khan was
very particular about unfolding the vilambit khayal
with proper use of the lyrics in the Gwalior manner.
The tempo preferred by both these stalwarts was
the slow-medium one and not the very slow or ati
vilambit used by modern exponents. The profuse
use of taankari and the astounding variety of
taans were salient features of the styles of both.
Since like most other gharanas, the Rampur Sahaswan
is an off-shoot of the Gwalior gharana it is quite
natural that it shares its major characteristics
with it. Still differences can be in the Rampur
Sahaswan emphasis on taankari in preference to
bol-bant and layakari . In the older Gwalior style
there is equal emphasis on all these aspects in
the second half of the vilambit khayal. Ustad
Nissar Hussain's son Sarafraz Hussain reproduced
his father's vocal style almost exactly
with most of the personal mannerism intact as
well. In him and to an extent in Mushtaq Hussain's
son-in-law Ghulam Sadiq of the Delhi University,
the style of the older exponents survived more
or less in its original form. Modern exponents,
starting with Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan have made
certain changes in the style to make it more complete.
Ghulam Mustafa introduced slow melodic elaboration
or vistar and in the vilambit khayal and also
sang it in the slower tempo prefered by most singers
in the final quarter of the 20th century. He also
initiated the use of sargams popularised by Kirana
and Patiala exponents. But as the other broad
characteristics and specialities of the gharana
style were retained in his style, it can be said
he expanded the gharana style and made it more
Ustad Rashid Khan has included the slow elaboration
in his vilambit khayals in the manner of his maternal
uncle and also developed exceptional expertise
in the use of sargams and sargam taankari. He
has also included the slower tempo vilambit. He
is also extremely adept in producing all the other
techniques and characteristic features of the
Rampur Sahaswan style. His taankari is as powerful
and varigeated as any of his predecessors and,
in fact, among the best in the nation at the moment.
The brilliant Enayat Hussain drut and medium pace
khayals ring as true in his voice as they have
done down the ages. He is also a master of the
tarana like his guru but sings them in his own
manner, preferring the khayal style rather than
the instrumental stroke-based style for which
Nissar Hussain was famous. There is no imitiation
of instrumental tone in them either. His vocal
prowess is in the best tradition of the Rampur
Sahaswan gharana. His mastery of all aspects tonal
variations, dynamics and timbre adjustment leave
very little to be desired in the realm of voice
A notable achievement of Ustad Rashid Khan is
the infusion of an emotional content into his
melodic elaboration. This was generally considered
to be lacking in the styles of the older exponents.
The older ustads, being essentially court singers,
put the emphasis on polished technique, skillful
execution of difficult passages and the power
to astound with their musicianship.The Nawabs
and Mahrajas and their courtiers who were their
prime audience found these things more interesting
and did not bother about emotional appeal. For
the khayal to them was classical art song and
emotional appeal was not an important requisite
for this type of music. But after independence
and especially in the second half of the 20th
century, classical music, including khayal, which
like the thumri, was the most popular vocal form,
was patronised by audiences coming from the middle
and upper-middle class segments of the society.
The modern listener thus tended to find Mushtaq
Hussain or even Nissar Hussain rather dry for
their taste. As a result these singers were not
as popular as certain contemporaries who infused
emotions into the the khayal. With the entry of
Rashid Khan the tables have been turned and the
spontaneous emotional appeal of his manner of
singing, be it in the melodic elaboration or in
the upper octave pukars, have won him enthusiastic
listeners and followers the world over.
No Rampur Sahaswan singer has in fact has enjoyed
such massive general popularity as he does. This
has been indeed a big breakthrough for the gharana.
Apart from displaying all the attributes of the
Rampur Sahaswan style as it stood at the time
he was born into it (and this includes the additional
attributes infused by Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan),
Ustad Rashid Khan has the traditional excellence
in the Marsia and the Soz. This may not be known
to the general listener or the general expert
since he hardly ever performs them in public performances.
But the fact remains that he is one of the best
singers of these religious songs ever born in
the gharana.
With most khayal gharanas drying up and wilting
today and more so in the genealogical sense, Ustad
Rashid Khan holds out hope for khayal gharanas
in general and the Rampur Sahaswan gharana in
particular. For all experts are in agreement on
one point : the greatest of classical music exponents
are usually a chip of the old block .

LARGO — With so much talent and depth at its disposal, Northside Christian's girls track team already has put a lot of ground between itself and what passes for its competition.
So it was expected the Mustangs would have no problem winning the Class A, District 9 meet at Indian Rocks Christian.
And in when one of the most anticlimactic races for a team title, Northside Christian did just that, scoring 280 points, nearly 200 more than its closest competitor.
The Mustangs won 15 of the 17 events. They finished 1-2-3 in nearly half of them.
Yet it wasn't even their most dominating performance in terms of points at a district meet. Last year, Northside scored 313 to win the title by 223 points.
Mustangs coach Jeff Goodwin isn't too concerned with that. He has his eye trained on goals beyond districts.
"We had a great showing by our girls," Goodwin said. "We're not trying to stack the deck to embarrass the competition. We're trying to put the girls in the right spots to win regions and have a chance at state."
One calculated risk Goodwin took before Wednesday's district meet was to switch distance specialist Katelyn Greenleaf from the 3,200 meters to the 800. Last season, Greenleaf took fifth at state in the 3,200.
But she appears to be just as strong in the 800, winning that event, along with the 1,600 and anchoring the winning 4x800 meter relay team.
NaTasha Goodwin won four events for the second straight year, taking first in the long jump, triple jump, 100 hurdles and running a leg on the winning 4x100 relay. Northside's Jennica Mullins also was a champion in multiple individual events, winning the high jump and the 100.
Bishop McLaughlin's Tori Harris won the discus.
On the boys side, Indian Rocks Christian's won the boys title. The Golden Eagles showed off their balance, winning eight events and finishing in the top three in all but two.
IRC's Isaac McMillen won the long and triple jump. The Golden Eagles also swept the relays, winning the 4x100, 4x400 and 4x800.
Cambridge's Clint Barnett (shot put, discus) and Bishop McLaughlin's Ryan Beeble (200, 400) also won multiple events..

BLOEMFONTEIN, Union of South Africa (Jun. 16)
The serious situation caused by the growth of anti-Semitism in South Africa since 1933 was stressed today by the Executive of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies in its report to the board's twelfth annual congress.
The report called attention particularly to the anti-Semitic policy of the Nationalist Party headed by Dr. D.F. Malan.
"For a long time past an unfriendly note has been detected in the utterances of Nationalist spokesmen and the Nationalist press," the report declared. "Mass meetings, without a vestige of justification have declared that Jewish immigration is organized by Jewish bodies overseas and in South Africa.
"The recommendation of the Transvaal Congress that no Jew be eligible for membership in the Nationalist Party culminated in bitter attacks by Dr. Malan during debates in Parliament. Since then the more reactionary elements of the Nationalist Party have apparently been on the ascendant."
The report declared, however:
"There have been a thousand indications that the heart and mind of the vast majority of the South African people remain sound. Their voice is heard in the utterances of liberals in and out of Parliament; in the vigorous stand taken up by leading newspapers, prominent churchmen and church organizations and by other forces directing public opinion."

I'm actually really surprised that I'm being requested to do a makeup tutorial, since I find absolutely nothing special or interesting about my makeup routine, which is the same every weekend (on weekdays I will just skip the false lashes). However I did get a request a few days ago so here is my feeble but hopefully sufficient first-time attempt at one!
I did try to do a makeup tutorial about a few years ago, out of utter boredom, but it was a epic fail and a total waste of time for a few reasons. Firstly, my makeup is relatively subtle so the progress wasn't very clear between photos. They might've been clearer had I used an SLR, but due to my impressive track record of klutzy and expensive gadget-dropping moments (especially my iPhone!) I haven't exactly earned the prerequisite trustworthiness rating for taking expensive equipment home, from my boyfriend (or anyone else for that matter). Another drawback was that I kept on stuffing up the routine (I guess you could call it "performance anxiety" lol). Preparing a makeup tutorial actually requires quite some skill, effort and time, so props to the people who do upload them on a regular basis with an illusion of ease and effortlessness.
Therefore, because of all these issues with photo-taking, and I don't really have much spare time nowadays, I decided to whip up a really quick tutorial on my iPad and illustrate my makeup routine instead! It's not the best I know (>_<) but I think this way is a lot more effective and clearer. I hope it's somewhat helpful to Amanda, who requested it, and anyone else who might be interested!
I've also received a few messages in the past in regards to how I do my eyebrows so I've put some focus on that.
Overall I know the tutorial is pretty simple- but that is how my makeup routine is. Again, I would whole-heartedly agree with you that there is nothing really special about it =P
Face base:
Dr Jart Rejuvenating BB cream, Bobbi Brown Skin foundation, Anna Sui pressed powder
Yes my eyebrows really are like that before being filled in. Work of art, isn't it?
It's because I have naturally really dark eyebrows, so in order to create an even, taupe/dark-brown look in the end, I need to thin them out and trim them as much as possible so that the black doesn't clash with my filled-in brows.
For the base- I just use BB Cream by Doctor Jart, and Bobbi Brown's Skin foundation. (I've had this for 1.5 yrs now, still nowhere near running out!) I guess it's because the majority of my base is BB Cream and the foundation is just to smooth out the skin tone (since this BB cream has noticeably grey undertones on my skin). The Skin foundation however matches my skintone perfectly!
I then pat my face lightly with Anna Sui's pressed powder, which sets my makeup and makes it look less shiny and possibly oily, later on in the day.
I also pop in EOS Dolly Eye Grey circle lenses, which I've used for almost all photo shoots.
I also usually keep my lips simple- just hydrated and slightly glossy. I use Palmer's dark chocolate and peppermint lip butter. I'm obsessed with this lip balm and slather it on my lips whenever I can- although I'm not sure if it's the cool, hydrating effect it has on my lips or the scent of my absolute favourite food in the world (chocolate) that is the real enticement.
NYX Eyebrow cake powder, B+C liquid eyebrow pencil, Kiss Me Heavy Rotation eyebrow mascara.
I fill my brows in first with the cake powder, which I do lightly so that it's not too pigmented. The purpose is to create a gentle and soft base underneath the eyebrow liner applied afterwards. Otherwise the pencil and liquid liner would look too harsh and have that unnatural, drawn-on appearance.
I go over this with the pencil side of my B+C eyebrow liner (there's a liquid pen on the other end) to create a more defined shape. If you compare this to the previous picture, at this stage my natural brows are looking more concealed and blended in with the eyebrow pencil.
I then use the liquid pen side, to outline the shape of the brows and then fill in some of the holes. By this point it's alright to draw precise lines with such a fine nib of a pigmented liquid pen, since I've already created a base underneath- so you're not going to get that "chola" lady effect!
Then I lightly brush blonde mascara over my brows. There are two purposes for this- to lighten my eyebrows in a subtle way (since the colour would be too strong if it were a pen, and if I use pencil over pencil it wouldn't show up well), and to neaten my brows up.
The mascara isn't actually as yellow as in the pictures, but I've used a lighter and brighter shade in the illustration, just to accentuate the difference.
One thing to note, is that using an eyebrow powder, and then a pencil, before putting on the liquid pen really helps to establish some natural-looking, symmetrical eyebrows that aren't too thin or uneven, which might occur had I only used a pen and mascara- or even if I had only left out the powder. I personally don't like eyebrows that are too thin, and if I had the gorgeous, sultry eyes of Camilla Belle (and the rest of her facial features for that matter) I would certainly be sporting some beautifully thick eyebrows resembling hers:
Anyway the point is, putting on a light powder and pencil beforehand is pretty useful in defining the shape of your eyebrows and making sure you don't make them too thin or some other undesired, uneven shape.
Eyes (it's pretty standard and boring)
Apple Super Lash mascara, Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner, Kate my color pencil, eyelash curler
Darkness false eyelashes in K.ma6, Duo eyelash glue
I use Dolly Wink's liquid pen to line the top part of my eyes and create a flick at the end, which I then fill in. I try to make sure the flick emerges from an extension of the line I've already created, to make it look more natural.
I can't really give any precise measurements- but I do make sure the flick isn't too tiny and that it is relatively close to the outer corner of my eye; otherwise when I put false eyelashes on later, the flick won't be visible.
The point of doing this is that it elongates the eyes and makes them bigger.
I don't use the same black liquid pen to line the bottom of my eyes. Because of how precise and dark the line is, the whole effect would look too harsh against my pale skin (also when I have black hair).
Instead I use a brown pencil (although it looks grey in the picture- but that's because I can never get the exact colouring right when I transfer an image over from my art app on the iPad onto the computer!), to simply line the bottom of my eyes.
I then curl my lashes and go over them with Apple's Super Lash mascara. A mascara for a meagre $2 that I have shipped via Ebay all the way from Mexico, is quite honestly the most fantastic mascara I have ever used- it does a wonderful job in darkening, thickening and lengthening my naturally sparse eyelashes.
I then apply Darkness' false eyelashes (around $9 for two pairs). Best falsies I have ever used- this is a Korean brand so I suspect they have tailor-made their range for Asian eyes. With MAC I had the problem of them being too long and I didn't know how to cut it in such a way that didn't destroy a new pair of overly-priced (as I later discovered when being exposed to more brands and variety) falsies.
I only use false eyelashes on the weekends nowadays, but yes they do create a dramatically wonderful difference to your eyes.
Face contouring:
Milani blush and bronzer, Etude House Top 10 v-line maker, Etude House Cookie blush
I apply Etude House's Cookie blusher! I just become a ridiculous, money-splurging, no self-respecting consumer whore in the face of cute packaging sometimes (this is why you can't take me to Asian supermarkets) and this blusher is no exception. To my credit it's not too bad of a product lol- the colour is lovely and suits my skin and you can be quite flexible with the puff (would you just look at that cute little pink bow on it!) so that you don't apply too much.
Again, when I apply the blush it's not as accentuated and pigmented as in the picture- however I've drawn it that way to emphasise the difference and to show clearly where I apply it.
Different people apply their blush around different areas of their cheekbones. I think if you want to create a super duper sweet, girly look you could apply it right underneath the eyes and on either side of your nose (but make sure you do it subtly, to avoid looking like a clown!) However I always apply it right underneath my cheekbones because I'm big on face contouring rather than face colouring. Adding the blush in these areas, adds a further dimension to my cheekbones and makes them pop more.
As I mentioned, I'm quite a big fan of contouring and highlighting! For the areas lined in brown in the picture, I use my Milani bronzer. Applying a shade darker than your skintone to these areas, helps create an illusion of shadow on either side of your face, slimming your face down. Applying it on the sides of your nose also makes it appear thinner.
For the parts lined in yellow, I use the highlighter from Etude House's V-Line Maker (I sometimes use the bronzer as well but I just prefer my Milani one- the colour is more natural and less shimmery). Highlighting the top part of your cheeks makes your cheekbones appear more prominent, and the same effect is seen when it's done right in the middle of your nose.
The whole effect of slimming the face down, and making the cheeks and nose protrude more obviously, is best created when combining both highlighting and contouring. You don't have to do both of course (some people don't like adding dark shades to their face, or the highlighter might have too much shine) but the combination of both really does help in creating more defined bone structure.
In the end it all looks like this:
So I hope that was in some way useful and effective! Thanks for reading :)

Owning a house is a great asset. It is not only the owning which is very important but also maintaining it with proper care if you are residing in your own house. Sometimes, there may be circumstances that you have to let out your house in the hands of the tenants. Before letting the house, it is safer to do an exhaustive Rental Background Check on the tenant, so that you are sure you will get back your monthly rent on time, and moreover your house will be well looked after.
The tenant's background information like the name, address, phone number, age, marital status, social security number and children details should be gathered. The date of birth is a good record to check about the tenant's criminal history. Proprietary database records are often indexed with social security number. The tenant's educational background, the employment background, his criminal history or legal history if any, the name of his/her relatives should be obtained. The tenant assets, financial conditions, the driving license details, his employer and previous landlord, military records, if applicable and medical history should be acquired.
After acquiring the above details, confirmation of the above information is a must. It can be done through Address History Search and through the list of relatives, roommates and business partners. Through the General Records Searches, a variety of data like the birth, marriages, divorces and deaths can be got from public records. Financial searches can show the financial standing of the tenant. County records can show about the bankruptcies, tax liens and evictions. Driver's History Records gives information about the license details, any accidents or any traffic violations and so on. Sex Offenders Search and Nationwide Criminal Record Searches help to detect the same.
Similarly Rental Background Checks should be conducted for your prospective roommate also. When a search is made for a roommate the web site experts try and match the qualifications, compatibility and area. In business also while managing rental property; these business background checks should be done.
The Rental Agreement helps indirectly while you do the tenant screening. In the agreement the details like the amount of rent, mode of payment, due date for every month for the payment, penalty for late payment, names of the people occupying the unit should be mentioned clearly. If all these searches are made before letting your property then the landlord and tenant both will be happy.

(PRWEB) January 29, 2013
(January 30th, 2013) - It was announced today that Brainiac Supplements, LLC, the makers of Study Buddy, an increasingly popular nutrient-based study pill, has partnered with North American packaging leader, Assemblies Unlimited. The partnership has already produced a redesigned package and counter display for Study Buddy.
"We knew Study Buddy was typically seen in POP counter displays," stated Randy Shaw of Assemblies Unlimited, "however, the flexible paper-based pouch material they were using for packaging often showed creases and other imperfections. Brainiac Supplements was interested in finding a packaging partner that understood the current challenges of an effective counter-display, and our experience with custom packaging played a key role in making this partnership possible."
As their first project, Assemblies Unlimited redesigned the packaging for Study Buddy, incorporating a blister package that radically improved the presentation of the capsules. The redesigned counter displays created by Assemblies Unlimited employed die-cut inserts to ensure forward-facing product and improve access to each blister packet. As a result, Brainiac Supplements reported increased sales in Study Buddy from college stores that retail their product.
"We chose to partner with Assemblies Unlimited because of their ability to create custom packaging that would more accurately reflect our brand," stated Tyler Johansen, CEO of Brainiac Supplements. "We couldn't be more pleased. As a packaging partner, they offer us invaluable insight earned from more than a decade as the leader in their industry. Randy Shaw and his team at Assemblies get perfect marks on this one. Were excited to see how our partnership evolves in the future."
"Through good communication, design support and deep knowledge of packaging trends we were able to help Brainiac Supplements meet their manufacturing deadlines and re-release this popular dietary supplement," stated Shaw. "Were proud our work played an essential role in helping grow the Study Buddy brand. We look forward to helping Tyler Johansen and Brainiac Supplements commercialize additional product lines.
About Study Buddy: Study Buddy is a doctor recommended, nutrient-based study aid made with natural ingredients. Each 2-capsule serving is designed to enhance memory, concentration and focus. This is especially relevant in the life of a student, where attending class, completing assignments, preparing for exams and giving presentations are everyday activities. With so many academic, economic and social pressures facing today's students, Study Buddy ensures students have the proper nutrients needed to be successful in their studies.

(BAGHLAN, Afghanistan) — At least 14 people, including a senior political official, were killed Monday by a suicide attacker in the northern Afghanistan province of Baghlan.
The attacker entered the provincial council compound on foot wearing a police uniform before detonating a suicide vest at the gate of the council's headquarters, BBC News reports.
According to the spokesperson of the governor of Baghlan province, the attack claimed the lives of 14 people, including council head Haji Rasool Khan Mohseni, a key Taliban opponent in the province. Nine others were injured in the attack.

The countries they're cheering for may be very different, but the one thing that unites these fans is a love of hockey.
Calgarians hailing from countries represented in the world junior championships say having their home teams visit their current hometown is a great source of pride.
"My roots are in Finland and my heart is still there," said Mauno Makela, who went to the airport to see the Finnish team arrive for the Calgary- and Edmonton-hosted tournament.
"It was great seeing those guys walk in.
"It's a great feeling — it's exciting."
For Makela, who is from Lappajarvi, Finland and now serves as the vice-president of the Calgary Finlandia Cultural Association, watching the tournament is a top priority right now.
"I wouldn't miss it," he said, adding after Finland he's cheering for Team Canada.
Bozena Kellner, who hails from the Czech Republic, said she's thrilled to have some of her country's young hockey heroes playing on Alberta ice.
"We are proud of them," said Kellner, president of the Czech and Slovak Association of Canada's Calgary chapter.
"Hockey in the Czech Republic is a very popular sport and many Czech players evolve to the NHL.
"It's very exciting for me and for all of this community."
Kellner praised the work of all the volunteers who made the championship possible and so welcoming for international visitors.
"It's not easy to make such a big tournament, it's loads of work," she said.
Carin Pihl, a native of Umea, Sweden, was eager to head to the Saddledome Wednesday to watch the Swedes take on the Swiss.
"I have my Swedish team shirt," she said proudly, noting autographs from the national Swedish women's hockey team.
"Hockey is very big (in Sweden), it's a big deal."
Pihl, president of the Swedish Society of Calgary, said one of the things she loves most about Calgary hosting the championship is it unites hockey-loving countries and fans.
"It's great that people in Calgary think all hockey is great, not just their own team," she said.
"They go to see all the games, not just Team Canada."
The world junior championship runs until Jan. 5.

Brewers' Attanasio Addresses Braun Situation, Says Team Has No Plans To Trade Him
Published July 25, 2013
NO PRECEDENT FOR THIS: Attanasio said there was "no road map" for Braun to follow in repairing his image. He added, "This is a unique circumstance here. I told Ryan that this is going to take time. No matter how open, honest, truthful, sincere he is in the next press conference, that is one step in what is going to be (many). It is going to take time. Everyone will know when, if he gets over that threshold, that he has gotten over it, because the community will be in a position that they can embrace him again" (AP, 7/24).
REWARDING FANS FOR SUPPORT: Attanasio yesterday said that team execs were "working on plans to 'give back' to fans to make up for the suspension of ... Braun and the team's dismal season." He said that he was working with Brewers COO Rick Schlesinger and Exec VP/Finance & Administration Bob Quinn "on a way to reward fans before the end of the season" (BIZJOURNALS.com, 7/25). Attanasio said, "This community has been terrifically supportive of the organization and the circumstances we find ourselves in. The sponsors have been great and frankly I think the fans have been great, coming out to the park still. We're going to do some things ... in a way to give back to the fans not only in going through this (Braun suspension) but what otherwise has been a difficult and frustrating season for us. We're working on some ideas on ways to give back to the fans between now and the end of the year, in a meaningful way, to show our appreciation for their support" (JSONLINE.com, 7/25). Meanwhile, YAHOO SPORTS' Jeff Passan wrote the call for the Brewers to void Braun's contract "is wrong, and it is excessive, and it is oversimplification and extrapolation at its worst." MLB contracts, especially the "long-term ones like Braun's five-year, $105 million extension that doesn't even kick in until 2016, are marriages." There are "good ones and bad ones." Passan: "If the Brewers hadn't given him that extension, would anybody be calling for its invalidation? Of course not" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 7/24).
SELIG DEFENDS DRUG PROGRAM: MLB Commissioner Bud Selig yesterday "defended baseball's fight against performance-enhancing drugs," but declined to discuss the suspension of Braun or "whether other stars will also face penalties." Selig said, "People have been thorough. I said last week the process would be comprehensive, thorough, fair and we have spent thousands of hours doing these things. ... We're doing this in a very disciplined, thorough, fair and sensitive matter." He added, "I'm proud of what we've done, we will continue to enforce the program" (AP, 7/24).

Is 12 days to soon to be expecting a positive result from my 3rd revision surgery? My doctor says that I don't have much room under my nose to be able to lift it, therefore, gravity causes my nose to hook downwards. He inserted a foreign object (looks like a thin bit of bendy wire) to try and help it become straight. Is it too soon to judge results - 12 days?

The bachelor party planning traditionally falls to the best man, but it can also be handled by the groom's brother or another good friend. All the guys in the wedding party get an invite, but it can also include other close friends and family; just ask the groom to put together a guest list. Technically, etiquette even allows inviting guys who aren't invited to the wedding, but since herding a big bunch of bachelors can lead to headaches well before the hangover, only go there if the groom specifically requests it. Extra points if you invite the bachelor's dad and even future father-in-law to the dinner portion of the evening — just be sure to see them off after dessert, before the real late-night debauchery begins.Whatever you do, don't plan the bachelor party the night before the wedding. That's usually reserved for the rehearsal dinner, and besides, hangovers and getting hitched don't mix. If you must (that is, if all the groom's nearest and dearest live far away and can't travel until the wedding), you could consider doing it the night before the rehearsal dinner, but it's generally much better to hold it at least a week and up to three months prior to the big day.If you have an all-weekend bachelor bash in mind, schedule it for well before the wedding. The closer you get to his walk down the aisle, the more likely the groom will be busy with last-minute details, and besides, two big wedding events in a row is a lot to ask of both the groom and the guests. Whatever you have in mind, send out your invitation at least a month in advance to ensure the best turnout. And since those who attend will split the cost of the party, specify roughly how much it'll cost right on the invitation.
If you're planning anything special, whether it's whitewater rafting, renting a limo or hiring a stripper, ask for a contract. Remember, you may not be dealing with the most trustworthy individuals here, so make sure you get who, what, when, where and how much it's going to cost you in writing.Chances are, people will be drinking, so figure out transportation with that in mind. Renting a limo can be fun, but it could cost a few hundred bucks. For a lot cheaper, you could rent a van and still pack in a pile of people as long as you have someone to play designated driver, though granted, it can be a bit of a buzz kill for the guy who draws the short straw. You might also consider taking taxis; if you pack in four or five fellas, it may be fairly affordable. (When you call for the cab, request a van for maximum savings.)At the very least, make sure the groom's transportation is covered by picking him up at home and dropping him off later. Not only are his reflexes likely to be impaired by evening's end, but he's also the guest of honor, so door-to-door service is only appropriate. Likewise, bring extra cash to get guys home who might not make it otherwise, and don't hesitate to confiscate keys. Saving a life beats saving a few bucks every time.Finally, let the groom savor the surprises you have in store by keeping your plans under wraps. You might even blindfold him between stops. Whisking him off to a night of wild (or mild) abandon you've planned just for him reminds him how lucky he is to not only have found a bride, but also bosom buddies like you. And speaking of secrecy, you may want to request at the beginning of the night that guests keep their lips sealed about whatever may transpire over the course of the evening. To that end, let people take photos as everyone arrives if they please, but then temporarily seize any cameras. In other words, what happens in Vegas (or Boise, or Schenectady, or wherever you happen to be) stays there.
Alcohol, gambling and strippers are pretty much the triumvirate of the traditional bachelor bacchanalia. The general idea is to do all (well, or at least some of) the things the groom won't be allowed to do once he's married. But you may want to add to the obvious, or do something different altogether. Your best bet is to ask the groom beforehand if there's anything he really does or does not want to do. Maybe he'd really rather skip the strip club, for example. Or maybe he wants this night to be as wild as your imagination will allow. (Just don't do anything that may jeopardize the wedding!)Once you have some guidelines from the groom, ask the guys who will be attending for ideas. Everyone chips in on the price, so take guests' budgets into account. Plus, work around the rest of the wedding plans. If it's a destination event, skip the stag weekend in Vegas, or guests could start to grumble about how much cash and time off the groom's loss of single hood is costing them.Some possibilities:
If everyone's low on dough, pizza fits the bill perfectly. But if you've got the funds, a ceremonial last supper of steak makes an A-#1 choice.Other options: Burgers, buffalo wings, nachos, barbecue anything. Think about whatever you would eat while watching the Super Bowl and have that. Before the sun comes up, stop at an all-night diner for eggs, bacon, coffee and pie. Just remember to eat: Your stomach (and the bride) will thank you.
You can't go wrong with beer, but if you've got the budget, splurge on a bottle of single-malt Scotch. Serve it neat, on the rocks, with soda, or, if you really want to get hammered in style, in a rusty nail.Rusty Nail (Serves one)

On the Job: Rachael Lookabill

I'm a magnet for advice and friendship. From the poor to the rich and the divorced single mom to the sweet old deaf guy who just needs a friend, I'm the sounding board. I take on all those clients my co-workers are afraid to approach. But that's my favorite hat of all.
You can have the toughest, most stressful day ever, but when those clients light up because you're there for them, well, that's when your job doesn't have a title anymore. That's when everything you do is worth all that you go through every day.I know I'll probably go to hell for all the times I told a telemarketer my boss was busy performing an exam when he was really getting a cup of coffee, but knowing I've made such an impact with everyone else makes me think that's not so bad. Besides, I told my boss I'd save him a seat!

I am admittedly a creature of habit, and I've gotta say I have been to 'most every Cat Power show in San Francisco over the last 10 years. 10 years! I feel old. I feel like I've seen Chan Marshall through a lot, and unlike most others, I never gave up on her. The main thing that brought me back to see her time and time again was simple: her voice.
Despite her mini breakdowns, despite her half finishing songs, despite her spotting ghosts mid set at the Great American and her whispered apologies, despite that one time she had a broken finger and still tried to play a solo show, I have always shown up, cause I just don't think you can beat her smoky voice. It's just unbeatable.
Last night at the Fillmore, it was in full effect, and this time she was fully fronting a rock band, cordless mic included. While I was slightly disappointed she wasn't playing guitar or piano herself, I was delighted to see her smiling onstage, and often. She seemed secure in her place at last.
The show was packed with soul covers; as always she twisted and shook the tunes until they became something almost unrecognizable and felt like her own. I loved her sad version of "Tracks of My Tears", and I always have enjoyed hearing her sing "I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)" -- that one will never die. I love how she always references her Southern roots in her choices-- last night with Otis Redding. She also sang "Dark Side of the Street" to fantastic, sultry effect. Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" even was slipped in (She must be obsessed with that song, cause I've heard her do it before, over a year ago.) before she was off to Patsy Cline. She even covered Joni Mitchell's "Blue", a personal favorite of mine. Oh, and her version of "Satisfaction" was the opposite of anything I've heard her do: an almost dead on copy of the original-- she even sang the choruses of the song for the first time, despite the fact that she included the song on her album The Covers Record.
She also pleasingly revisited songs from the past that she hasn't really touched in many years. She played "Naked If I Want To" and "Metal Heart", both straightforwardly, not mucking them up as she often would if she even went there in the past. Those songs are from my two most worn records of hers, the aforementioned Covers Record and Moon Pix.
And, as expected, she played some songs from her latest record The Greatest like "Where Is My Love", "The Greatest" and "Could We". These songs got the greatest ovations from the crowd, which feels strange to me, but then again it was a sold out show at the Fillmore costing $32.50 a ticket! What I mean is, it was a different crowd than it used to be. They were probably relieved to hear something they knew after all those covers and rambling. I like how with Chan you never know what you're gonna get-- she always brings something different and unexpected to her shows, and you're not always going to hear what you want to most. Instead I always leave wowed by something new.
I've always enjoyed how, despite her gaining popularity, Chan has always remained so fully idiosyncratic. She seems happy now. She is still dressed in tomboy clothes, a Levi's shirt and jeans, even if now they are augmented with black Chanel fingerless gloves and Siouxsie Sioux style eye liner.
Big ups to Jim White, the drummer from Dirty Three who's toured with her off and on for a decade or more. He has an austere, tasteful drumming style but also knows when it's time for rock n roll -- the perfect compliment to Chan and her soulful sad songs. It was fun to see them together again.
At the after party, Chan chain smoked and happily attended to her friends, while her spotted French Bulldog Mona ran around looking for attention and a place to pee.
Here's Chan performing at the Chanel Spring 2007 Couture Show. The second YouTube is Chan performing on Letterman in spring 2003. I love "Maybe Not."

Working Women: Emma Cardini and Katie Francis
High atop the Washington Monument, climbers inspected the tower at more than 500 feet up. It's enough to make anyone feel a bit woozy.
And it gave tourists something exciting to witness.
Then, the same engineers moved to the National Cathedral and, with painstaking precision, they examined the iconic structure.
Many think this is man's work. Just don't tell that to Emma Cardini.
"I think it goes without saying in engineering or any technical field we've worked just as hard as the men, why wouldn't we be able to do the same thing?" Cardini said.
Cardini, who studied civil and structural engineering at Tufts, works alongside Katie Francis, who studied civil engineering at Johns Hopkins and got into climbing at the same time. Little did she know she'd bring those two passions together.
"They asked me if I would like to rappel down buildings and I was like really? You'll pay me to do that?" laughs Francis. "That's great!"
Francis says it's been an awe inspiring experience to see the District from this once in a life time perspective.
"We feel really privileged to be able to work on these structures," Francis said. "Such a history behind them."
Their gear includes an iPad, camera, tape measure and water bottle.
"I feel with the ropes you're already tied in and your tight and you feel comfortable," Cardini said. "So you're already comfortable even before you get over the wall."
Though these women have obvious physical and mental strength, they are moved by a new appreciation for the craftsmen and for the District.
"It's fascinating while you're up there just see how much work people have put into the work and the love and care just put into this Cathedral," Francis said. "It's amazing."

The Arcata Police Association represents the police officers and sergeants, dispatchers, parking officers, evidence technicians, and front office staff of the Arcata Police Department. APA is the collective bargaining agent for these employees and works with the City of Arcata to reach labor agreements equitable for both sides. The current agreement expires June 30; APA and the city have been meeting for four months to reach a new understanding, with tentative agreements being reached on 31 topics. The few items that involve small amounts of money have benefited the city. Unfortunately, one large topic remains, and impasse has been reached.
Before going further I know some of you already shut down during the first paragraph. "Greedy public employees with their fat pensions, bleeding the city during tough times," you may think. A certain segment of the public will believe that no matter what the facts. For the rest of you, read the facts and make up your own mind.
Two years ago, recognizing tough times, APA agreed to significant concessions with the city, including pension reform before it was mandated by the state. APA received no salary adjustments over the last two years while the cost of living increased by an average of 2 percent per year. It made none of us happy but we knew this was the right thing to do given the economy. APA and other city employees did our part to help the city.
Arcata has a diverse tax base, and weathered the economic crisis better than most cities and counties. Reserve funds were tapped to a limited degree -- that's what reserves are for, dealing with unexpected and difficult times, and the last few years certainly qualify as difficult. It is a well-managed municipality and has been "in the black" each of the last six years. With a slow but steady recovery and the same leadership team in place, there is no reason to believe that this success story will not continue.
Pension reform is reality, and the city is benefiting from it. Under the old formula the city contributes 35.5 percent of salary toward police officer pensions for 2013-14. For new lateral-hire employees the city contributes 20.7 percent. For brand-new officers, that contribution is even smaller -- real savings for the city, at the expense of a weakened pension system for the employees. Again: APA, this time due to state mandate, is doing its part to help keep Arcata strong.
Crime is on the rise throughout the region. Using Arcata Police Department data, commercial burglaries are up by 199 percent, vehicle burglaries by 20 percent, and auto thefts by 61 percent. Armed robberies, once uncommon, are alarmingly frequent. Four concealed handguns have been removed from suspects in the last six months. Recently a tragic double homicide occurred in Arcata, the city's first murder since 2004. A suspect was in custody within 12 hours. Police department staff are taking more reports and making more arrests. The Arcata Police Department is functioning well, serving proudly and efficiently.
APA is asking for a 2 percent per year cost of living adjustment over the next two years -- not a "raise," but what it takes to not fall even further behind in everyday purchasing power. The city counters with 1 percent and 1.5 percent. This seems like a small gap, and in some ways it is.
The city quotes $96,000 per year for each 1 percent increase in salary -- for every single rank-and-file city employee, not just APA members. For a city with a budget of over $31 million and general fund of over $12 million, this is a small figure. Of special concern is that the city continues to use the "every employee" figure in negotiations, yet APA represents a small segment of city employees -- we do not bargain for the Operating Engineers union. This indicates a predetermination on the city's part that each of these two separate bargaining groups will receive the same deal. This is not negotiating in good faith.
Public employees have received a lot of scorn over the last few years, some deserved, much of it ill-informed and undeserved. We aren't asking for a raise -- we only want to fall no further behind in the daily expenses of running our lives. A 2 percent per year cost of living adjustment over each of the next two years is fair, it is affordable, and it is the right thing to do. I urge all Arcata residents and business owners to contact their council members to express their feelings on this matter.
Richard Bergstresser is president of the Arcata Police Association.

The sunshine general: JCS Chairman Dempsey reviews the world situation
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military from 1991 to 2008 for the Wall Street Journal and then the Washington Post. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
By Eve Hunter
Best Defense guest columnist
General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in an appearance at the Center for Strategic and International Studies this past Monday, quoted F. Scott Fitzgerald's definition of a first-rate intelligence as being able to hold two competing and opposing ideas in your mind at the same time. That is precisely the predicament he put his audience in.
Gen. Dempsey approached the current geopolitical situation with a jovial attitude. He compared the U.S. position in the world with the TV character "Mayhem," of Allstate Insurance (and 30 Rock) fame. His face was aglow with patriotism, even while confronting questions concerning "the West's failure in Syria." Hedging his bets, he spoke positively of the Iraq War, saying that Iraq is now a "partner, not [an] adversary."
Despite the general's optimism, however, he was very clear in the fact that Congress is inhibiting America's potential to be a "global leader" and a "reliable partner." Dempsey spoke of a prospective shift in defense strategy that would include eliminating unnecessary weapons and recognizing, with funds, that diplomacy is the key to global security.
The most engaging part of his speech was his willingness to admit uncertainty. On a macro-level Dempsey was ebulliently confident, but on country-specific questions, he seemed just as flummoxed as the rest of us. For example, our understanding of the Syrian opposition is more opaque than it was six months ago. On Iran, the one question he would ask Ayatollah Khomeini is why he is doing what he is doing. Dempsey's relationship with his newly appointed Chinese counterpart is only in the beginning stages; implications for defense remain murky.
Many may see a lack of decisiveness as a weakness, but at this inflection point in history I am happy to have a man like Dempsey leading our Joint Chiefs. He is aware of the complexities of today's world, as made clear by an alliterative reference to bits and bytes being as dangerous as bullets and bombs. At the same time he is painstakingly deliberate, which, at the 10 year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, is a welcome change.


text: CONCORD, NH–After a brief stint in the national spotlight, the Granite State returned to its usual state of obscurity Tuesday following the conclusion of the New Hampshire presidential primaries. "Thank you for being here to document our quadrennial week of national prominence and attention," New Hampshire Gov. Jeanne Shaheen shouted to departing TV and newspaper reporters. "We look forward to your return in January 2004." Shaheen then returned to the governor's mansion to begin work on her keynote address for the Merrimack Maple Festival, scheduled for Nov. 11-14.

Looking for suggestions to celebrate! I've been out of the "scene" for a year plus, so would love your help. Here are the limitations:
1. Really love all food! (including Essan spicy and WD-50 experimental)! Right now I'm not in the mood for mexican or sushi.
2. Needs to be during lunchtime if possible and less than $80 for food and a glass of wine or dessert.
3. Would really prefer not to be in midtown as that's where I work everyday!
4. Would really like the ambience to be romantic casual/rustic, as in Sfoglia and not Eleven Madison Park.
Our usual place to celebrate is at Gramercy Tavern because we love the service and the food, but I'd like to go someplace new. I was originally going to go to Zaab Elee since the chef used to work in the Thai restaurant 2 block away from our apt. in Astoria, but have now changed my mind to burgers or oysters, and can even do an Italian boar dish, or something wacky but really good. Thank you!

Working on 'Madden' will make you hate video games, football, life
If you love video games and football, and it's your dream to work on Madden, save yourself the trouble and don't even bother.
People having a total meltdown online and then spilling their guts via Twitter, which in turn costs them their careers, is becoming the norm. Though a most recent example, highlighted by Kotaku is relevant to anyone who has loved Madden so much that they dream of some day working on the game. Apparently, it's a nightmare.
At least that was the case with A.J. Dembroski, who was a member of the game's community for years and eventually landed himself a legit job on the team. But after two titles, he had to bow out, due to burnt out. The kind that happens when you're a fan of something and you become perpetually frustrated by stupid things that happen behind the scenes. The stuff that makes fans of anything go "why in the hell did they do that?!"
Dembroski faced such things, and tried fixing them, but was totally powerless. Fast forward some time later, and the dude ends up going on a tirade on Twitter about what went wrong, and even named names (including people who still work on the game, ensuring that he'll never work there again). Among the stuff that he brings up (and some of which is hardly a shocker to longtime Madden fans)…
– The game is designed purely by the numbers, in the same manner that other yearly franchises are crapped out, like Call of Duty
– New features didn't pan out thanks to designers who had heads up their asses
– Or good stuff that was proposed was eventually axed for stupid reasons
– The publisher bold face lies to players and could care less about making a decent game
– You have both creative and budgetary constraints due to the exceptionally expensive NFL license
Most of the offending tweets have been deleted, but none of that stuff truly goes away, we all know this. Hence why Dembroski states: "I might end up driving [a] taxi again the rest of my life." At the very least, it's nice to know that someone involved in the game was aware of all the problems and tried his best to fix things.

Parker is a quiet, introverted eleven-year-old boy, stuck in the middle of his parents' divorce, when he stumbles upon Drog, an ugly green puppet left in the rubbish. But Drog is no ordinary puppet; he's a talking, sarcastic, obnoxious puppet...who won't let go of Parker's hand! Worst of all, no one believes that Drog - not Parker - is saying all of the outrageous things that get Parker into trouble....

Frappes North
Before heading into his kitchen, chef and owner of Frappes North Bobby Frappier makes a detour at the restaurant's organic herb and tomato garden, harvesting ingredients for the day's menu. The armful of herbs and tomatoes make cameos in that evening's sauces, such as dill compound and thyme jus, as well as in the pasta sauce sold at the restaurant.
In addition to its fresh cuisine, Frappes North has earned nods for its sophisticated ambiance.

News outlets have lodged a complaint against the White House for limiting their access to President Obama during many official events. He prefers using his own photographer and news room so he can control what
information propaganda flows out of the White House.
The nation's largest news organizations lodged a complaint Thursday against the White House for imposing unprecedented limitations on photojournalists covering President Barack Obama, which they say have harmed the public's ability to monitor its own government.
The organizations accuse the White House of banning photojournalists from covering Obama at some events, and then later releasing its own photos and videos of the same events.
"Journalists are routinely being denied the right to photograph or videotape the president while he is performing his official duties," according to a letter the organizations sent to the White House. "As surely as if they were placing a hand over a journalist's camera lens, officials in this administration are blocking the public from having an independent view of important functions of the executive branch of government."
Presidents often look for ways to get their own messages out. But media experts say Obama's administration has developed an aggressive strategy to use social media, including government-sponsored websites and blogs, as well as Twitter, Instagram and Flickr accounts, to circumvent the media's constitutional duty more than its predecessors have.

A White House spokesman laughably claimed that they're just trying to live up their promise of transparency!

TPWD News Release — April 25, 2005
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is holding six public meetings during May near areas hit hardest by golden alga. Agency officials will provide updates on golden alga research projects and discuss fisheries management strategies, as well as solicit public input.
Golden alga blooms during the last six months have caused fish kills in more than a dozen water bodies in north-central Texas. None of the occurrences have resulted in serious impacts to the fisheries, but they have provided researchers with opportunities to study actual events in hopes of finding solutions to this naturally-occurring threat.
Since 2001, golden alga fish kills have occurred on two dozen reservoirs in Texas. About 18 million fish have been killed by golden alga during the last 20 years, most of which were either forage or rough fish species.
This alga releases a toxin that kills gill-breathing organisms such as fish and clams. There is no known evidence of human health risks.
First discovered in Texas in 1985, golden alga (Prymnesium parvum) was identified in a fish kill in the Pecos River and has since been responsible for fish kills in the Colorado, Canadian, Wichita, Red and Brazos River systems as well.
Public meetings are slated for the following dates and locations. All meetings start at 7 p.m.

The Nevada Supreme Court heard arguments in Las Vegas Monday in a bid by suspended Family Court Judge Steven Jones to dismiss an ongoing case against him that dates back to 2006.
The case involves alleged fraudulent financial transactions not related to the formal charges the commission filed against Jones in December tied to his handling of a romantic affair with a prosecutor who appeared before him.
Attorney James Jimmerson told the seven justices during a half-hour of arguments that the commission violated the statute of limitations when it waited six years to inform Jones of the investigation in July 2012.
The probe was conducted by a biased investigator, and the lengthy delay made it tough for Jones to defend himself, Jimmerson argued.
Contending the commission has "gone awry" and harmed Jones' due process rights, Jimmerson argued that the high court should dismiss the case before formal charges are even filed.
Brian Hutchins, the commission's acting executive director, countered that it is premature for the Supreme Court to act now. He argued Jones has a right to appeal to the Supreme Court after the commission takes action.
The justices promised a written decision. Both Jones and former Deputy District Attorney Lisa Willardson were in the courtroom for the arguments.
Some of the allegations date back to 1996 and others are similar to allegations contained in a November federal indictment charging Jones with participating in a $3 million investment fraud scheme. Jones is to stand trial on March 3.
In July, Jimmerson also argued that the commission violated Jones' due process rights in the investigation into the judge's handling of the relationship with the prosecutor.
But both the Supreme Court and a district judge denied separate efforts by Jones to block a public hearing on those allegations. The hearing is to be held before the commission on Dec. 2.
According to formal charges filed in December, Willardson "actively litigated cases" in the judge's courtroom while she maintained a relationship with him in 2011. Jones didn't disqualify himself from her cases.
The State Bar of Nevada, which regulates lawyers, declined to discipline Willardson, who was fired from the district attorney's office after the relationship was revealed.
The professional organization sent her a "letter of caution" that suggested her conduct had "undermined" public trust in the justice system.
Jones has denied the misconduct allegations.
He has continued to receive his $200,000 salary since being suspended after the federal indictment.

My spouse planned to make clam dip for a combo Superbowl and birthday party. We decided to steam fresh clams for the recipe to improve the flavor. Bought some Cherrystones today as a test run before Feb. 3. They are beautiful, smell great and will be treat once chopped and mixed with the other ingredients.The owner and the folks at SSM&FS and friendly, knowledgeable, and offer fair price for fresh product. Their weekly email mailer announces specials. My former purchases have been monk fish, catfish and sea scollops. Superior quality and price to the store that rhymes with Full Nudes.

Yankees' Sabathia headed to disabled list
CC Sabathia is headed to the disabled list with a sore left elbow.
|CC Sabathia reportedly felt soreness in his left elbow following Wednesday's start in Detroit. (US Presswire)
CC Sabathia will be placed on the 15-day disabled list with stiffness in his left elbow, Yankees manager Joe Girardi told reporters after Saturday's victory in Toronto. However, Girardi said the team's concern was "pretty low" for his long-term status, tweets Marc Carig of the Star-Ledger.
Earlier Saturday, the New York Daily News' Mark Feinsand reported Sabathia was dealing with soreness in his elbow following Wednesday's start in Detroit and that the team was considering pushing back his next start, Monday against the Rangers. After the game, it was revealed that Sabathia first experienced the discomfort in his elbow following his previous start, Aug. 3 against the Mariners.
"Right now, it's a low-level concern," a source told Feinsand. "Long-term, it's not a big concern."
Sabathia is 12-3 with a 3.56 ERA in 20 starts and 141 2/3 innings. This is his second stint on the disabled list this season, the first for a groin injury that kept him out three weeks.
The team expects Sabathia to start the first day he is eligible to return from the disabled list, Aug. 24 in Cleveland.

Jorge Cantu wasn't the only member of the Padres' regular traveling party who left Denver this week on a plane headed somewhere other than Minneapolis.
Unlike Cantu, however, Enberg will return July 6 in San Francisco — three days after he finishes his ESPN assignment at Wimbledon. (Fortnight coverage begins at 4 a.m. Monday on ESPN2.)
Whether that's good news probably depends on your perspective — Enberg has been criticized pretty heavily this year on Internet message boards and Twitter, often deservedly so, for making more mistakes and mispronunciations than should be considered reasonable. But he still has plenty of supporters, too.
In the meantime, Mark Neely will come out of the bullpen and no doubt do his usual fine job in relief, working the next 16 telecasts from tonight through July 5.
"I keep track of everything; still have a keen interest," said Neely, who was reduced to a fill-in role last year when the Padres hired Enberg. "I'm looking forward to seeing Mud (Mark Grant) and Tony (Gwynn) and all the people in the (production) truck. There are a lot of people I miss seeing and working with on a regular basis."
Neely has been keeping busy — although surely not as busy as he would like — working for ESPN. He broadcast several college football and basketball games in the fall and winter, and recently was calling softball and baseball.
Enberg also will work the U.S. Open for CBS again this summer, so Neely is scheduled for another 11 telecasts from Sept. 2-12, plus a four-game home series against Florida in mid-August.
What happens to Neely next year is uncertain, but that puts him in good company with most everyone else involved in Padres radio or TV right now. Enberg is under contract for next year, but Grant and radio announcers Ted Leitner and Andy Masur are not. The Padres' contracts with Channel 4 San Diego and XX 1090 Radio expire after this season.
Padres President and COO Tom Garfinkel declined to comment for this story, but we already know Channel 4 definitely will not be back next year. Everyone expects a deal with Fox to be announced at some point, which will mean more money for the club and (presumably) a wider audience for the telecasts.
What that means for the announcers is a mystery. I keep wondering whether a new partner would want to start a long-term partnership with fresh voices? It no doubt will be the biggest question once the deal is finalized and announced.
Flipping channels
•ESPN2 and ESPN3.com have live Wimbledon coverage starting at 4 a.m. every day of the tournament until the final two days (July 2-3). How long it lasts each day varies, and as usual, NBC will mess things up for the entire West Coast in the second week by delaying its June 27-29 coverage here until 10 a.m. That means no live tennis for West Coast fans on those three days from 7 a.m. until 1 p.m. Of course, it's not like there are any tennis fans out here.
•What a spring it was with amazing postseasons in the NBA and NHL, but now what are we supposed to do before football season? OK, so it's really not that bleak, with the U.S. Open this weekend on NBC (and today on ESPN), the College World Series starting Saturday on ESPN and ESPN2 and Wimbledon, just to name a few upcoming events. There's also the NBA Draft on Thursday on ESPN, with Kawhi Leonard poised to be SDSU's first top-10 pick.
Familiar voice
With Darren Smith on vacation, XX 1090 superproducer Marty Caswell arranged for Ryan Leaf — yes, that Ryan Leaf — to host Smith's show for two days this week.
I know, I cringed, too. Except it turned out pretty well. Leaf did some good interviews and was contrite when discussing his, uh, troubled time with the Chargers.
"I don't want anybody to feel the way I felt when my career ended," he said when my former U-T colleague Jim Trotter asked him about speaking to young players.
I'm not sure Leaf's future is in radio, but he really wasn't bad. And, as I told him when we spoke on the air about our celebrated "incident" nearly 13 years ago, I hated to damn him with faint praise, but it's not like the bar was — or is — set too high at XX. To see that, all he had to do was check out a tape of the Bozos, or just listen to the station a few minutes before starting his show.
