It always happens: when you start making a list, you leave something off. Better just to make generalizations.
My V.I. Day post gave a general thank-you to "Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen" without naming anybody in particular. Now, I'm sure that the General of the Hour would consider himself privileged to be counted as one of those soldiers -- but it nevertheless needs to be said that credit for Victory in Iraq requires us to list the following names:
Petraeus, Petraeus, Petraeus, Petraeus, Petraeus, Petraeus, Petraeus, Petraeus, Petraeus, Petraeus,........
And did I mention
Thanks, Peaches.
I also gave a general thank-you to "steadfast, occasionally visionary, politicians" and to our "Coalition partners". There are a couple of names required in those categories too, though in March of 2003, and for a considerable time afterward, neither of these would have considered themselves either as politicians or members of any coalition that included Americans. How times have changed.
There is Nouri Al Maliki, the soft-spoken first Prime Minister of the New Iraq, who sometimes seems soft-headed too, but has managed, against great odds and mortal dangers, to keep his hand on the rudder of his country's future, with spectacular results (despite the herculean efforts of American congressional Democrats to thwart, undermine, and insult his achievements).
There is also Sheikh Abdl Sattar Abu Risha, first leader of the Anbar Awakening. He was assassinated for it in September 2007, but is honoured in the continuity of his leadership example carried through to this day by other Anbar sheikhs (again, despite partisan congressional efforts to downplay or deny the historic allegiance between these Iraqi tribes and their American occupiers, towards a lasting peace).
History shall remember their courage.
Also among our Coalition Partners can be included (but impossible to list) the people of Iraq who began their career as free agents more than five years ago with desperately infantile and self-destructive looting of their own infrastructure, because under Saddam nothing had ever really been "their own" -- and who now have pledged not just their blood and labour but their maturity and self-discipline as a culture to overcome the fears and hatreds of the past, and to make peace with the invaders who, we must openly admit, broke a lot of bones and hearts and pottery in order to break the Iraqis' chains.
The Iraqi people, as a group, have suffered every conceivable kind of insult at the hands of the haters of George W. Bush, especially those in elected office -- those who, in a relentless quest to saddle the president with a disaster, have denied the reality of every particle of cooperation, progress and normalization which has proceeded, first in fits and starts and finally in a tidal-wave, over the past five years.
And among all the politicians who slagged the Iraqi government and ignored its heroic track toward democracy, even as they slagged and slandered the American military (who are, in fact, the most expert diplomatic corps in the history of human society), no one has gone to greater lengths to flip the bird to the whole country of Iraq than our current Vice-President-elect, Jabbering Joe Biden.
The Senator from Delaware pretended he was the only adult in the room by proposing, from way out in left field, that Iraq be partitioned into three self-governing provinces based on ethnicity and religion.
Ignoring the fact that there are more ethnicities at work than just three; that they do not live in easily-defined separate regions; that they are intermarried in great numbers both among ethnicities and religious factions; that if there is any governmental tradition "natural" to this ancient region, after millennia of waves and waves of invasion, it is by tribe rather than geographical or other type of boundary line; and (most importantly) that no one had even bothered to consult the Iraqis themselves about Biden's scheme for their future, the Senator from Unaware touted his flagrantly imperialist agenda from mid-2006 right through the Democratic primary season, as if it had been delivered straight down from (as 'twere) Mt. Sinai.
[Footnote: when the Iraqis were permitted a response to the idea, they hated it. HUGE.]
So let's not forget the immortal words of Idiot Joe in his Wapo op-ed of 2006:
Unfortunately, this administration does not have a coherent plan or any discernible strategy for success in Iraq. Its strategy is to prevent defeat and hand the problem off when it leaves office.
Here's your hand-off Joe: it's called VICTORY. Catch it if you can.
On this day for names, I reflect on one more leader of troops into battle, a man I've met and heard speak a couple of times, a man who, in times of trouble, I would follow without hesitation. Lt. Col. Bryan McCoy, author of The Passion of Command -- and boy does he have it.
Most often I think of him in a context which I did not personally witness. He was part of a CNN broadcast of April 9, 2003, the transcript of which is still available on the 'net here. Its subject was the fact -- the FACT -- that the invading American army was welcomed into Iraq as LIBERATORS, as witnessed by CNN reporters Ben Wedeman and Christiane Amanpour, plus Al Jazeera's Dima Khatib, Cox News' Craig Nelson, Abu Dhabi News' Jasim Al Azzawi, L.A. Times' Robin Wright, Lebanese Broadcasting's Tani Mehanna, and American Army Generals Wesley Clark and David Range, all interviewed by Larry King in the heady atmosphere of a "jubilant" Iraq.
Now, none of these voices was drunk with triumph -- all were temperate about what the future held -- but there was no question whatsoever that, at the moment of the taking of Baghdad, the Americans were being welcomed as Liberators throughout Iraq and parts of the wider region.
Then there was Col. McCoy's voice, that of a man who had fought his way into the country for 21 days, the latter half of them spent in full-blast battle rattle. He had already lost some of "his boys." It was Col. McCoy's boys who helped the locals bring down Saddam's statue in Baghdad's Firdos square (and no, they didn't "raise an American flag," they wiped Saddam's face with it -- nor did they try to claim that the square was packed with thousands when it wasn't, nor did they have to egg on the crowd to attack the statue -- they just helped complete the task the crowd was ill-equipped to do themselves).
But the idea that the military on the ground ever thought this job was going to be a "cakewalk" is belied by McCoy's answers to Larry King. Finally, in response to King's classic lazy-journalist question: "What about this venture has surprised you the most?" McCoy said,
What has surprised me the most is the closer we got to Baghdad, the more effusive the people were about welcoming us here. We thought it would be the opposite. It would be the closer we got to Baghdad, the less welcome we would be.
McCoy's realistic expectations echo the anti-rosy assessment of then two-star General David Petraeus a couple of weeks before , "Tell me how this ends? eight years and eight divisions?"
Well, Peaches, we're starting to know. Apparently, it ends well -- providing the folks in Washington don't screw it up again.
Over at primo Milblog Mudville Gazette this story is passed along from CJ at A Soldier's Perspective (with the appropriate "tissue alert.") It's called Touching the Face of Grace and I present it here in full, because that's what it merits.
CJ writes:
I found this essay, written by the father of a deployed Soldier, on the American Legion website. It was introduced into the Congressional Record by Frank R. Wolf, R-Va, on September 16th. It's a very touching and inspirational story should be required reading by the defeatists in Congress. Here it is:
"Whatever your political take on the war in Iraq, nothing can alter it more than having a loved one in the midst of it. Nor is anyone's current perspective balanced until they hear at least some things from a soldier's point of view.
"My wife and I learned these truths when our son, a 2004 Handley graduate, decided to join the Army in 2006. His reasoning was simple: he wasn't comfortable knowing that thousands of others his age were sacrificing their own freedoms to protect his. When he signed up to join those thousands, it changed our perspective as well.
"Up to that point, it had always been other people's sons and daughters doing the fighting. Now it would be our own child. Naturally, no one wants their child to volunteer to go in harm's way for freedom's sake. It was something of a conviction, though, when my wife and I had to ask ourselves why it shouldn't be our own son in the Middle East, why we should be spared the rituals of anxiety, prayer, hope and waiting that tens of thousands of other families over here have already endured.
"In early June, we flew to Fort Hood, Texas, to see our son deploy for a 15-month tour in Iraq. Again, one's perspective is limited until one attends a deploying ceremony for a unit of soldiers. Spouses, children, parents, siblings and friends, all crowding a gym, all clinging closely to their treasures in uniform, accompanied by flags, prayers, cheers and tears. Our son had joined a 'band of brothers.' My wife and I had joined the 'band of others' who would be waiting at home. Both those going, and those left behind, carry the war on terror in a personal way.
"Still, those of us left behind need to see something of what our soldiers see, and not only what is offered us in the news. To that end, here is one story our son, Luke, shared with us by phone that must be shared with anyone who claims an interest in what our soldiers are doing in the Middle East.
"Stationed outside a city on the Tigris River, Luke had accompanied his colonel into town as part of a security team, while the colonel spoke with a local sheik. While standing guard, Luke noticed a woman approaching from behind and cautiously turned in her direction, his rifle at the ready.
"An interpreter told our son it was OK – the woman just wanted to touch a soldier. Still uneasy, Luke stood still while the woman reached out her hand and touched his face, tears in her eyes.
"Looking to the interpreter for meaning, our son was told that the woman simply 'wanted to touch the face of grace.' It seems this trembling woman, like most of the people in her town, looked upon our soldiers as angels of grace, sent by God to protect her from the violence and oppression her people had come to know up to then. Learning this, our son squeezed and kissed the woman's hand, and she left, weeping.
"The 'face of grace.' How many of us, safe at home debating the politics of the war on terror, have ever seen our soldiers in such a light? How many of us have even read such an uplifting newspaper account of our soldiers?
"To be sure, our soldiers are not virtuous simply by being soldiers. At home in their 'civvies' they are as un-angelic as the rest of us. Yet when they voluntarily get into 'full battle rattle' (as they call their battle gear) in a hot and hostile land, their job is both protective and sacrificial – as angelic a purpose as humans can take on.
"People like this woman, having suffered years of oppression and fear, have eyes and a heart to see this, and the desire to "'touch the face of grace.' Do we have the ability to see our soldiers in the same way? And not merely our soldiers: Can we see the 'face of grace' in the police who protect us in every town, day and night? Or in the fire and rescue teams who are 'soldiers' in their own right?
"My wife and I obviously pray that our son and his 'band of brothers' will come safely home to their personal 'band of others.' After listening to our son's experience, though, we have added the prayer that Americans in every community will be given the eyes and heart to see the 'Face of Grace' in all who protect our lives and freedoms – especially in soldiers like our son."

This is a quick guide to creating a truly terrifying Halloween pumpkin pincushion. Pierce them through with pins or have them haunt your desk or Halloween table display.
First cut six identical leaf shapes around 3.5" in length from orange felt.
Sew the long edges of these pieces together in matching thread to create a ball shape, but leave one seam open. Turn the ball right side out.
Cut the eyes and mouth from black felt. For eyes cut matching triangles. For a mouth draw a zig-zag on the felt in chalk and cut around this to create a jagged jaw.
Arrange the features and sew them in place while the ball in still open at the back, only a couple of stitches will be needed to keep them in place. Next stuff the pumpkin with toy filling, or failing that cotton wool. When tightly packed join the final seam with a neat blanket stitch. Your creation is now almost alive!
Finally cut a thin strip of brown felt around 1.5" long and 0.5" thick. Roll this length up to create the stalk.
Secure this roll in place with a couple of stitches, but before tying off the thread press the stalk on to the top of the pumpkin and draw the needle through the body of the pumpkin and out of the bottom. Pull the thread tight to create the right pumpkin shape. Finally push the needle back up through the body of the pumpkin and secure the stalk. Pierced twice through the heart your should be a truly diabolical creation!
Happy Halloween everyone!

What sits in a corner and moves around the World?
Answer: …. and it's not the young and energetic Head of Geography, but a stamp!
At the end of every geography lesson, the pupils stay at their desks not wanting to move on to their next lesson. "Do we have to go?" they cry with one voice!
Geography is a living subject. On the front page of any newspaper, geography is usually referred to at least 30 times – what, why, where, when and who?
The main strands of geography at Castle Court are
This is locating where places are in the world. We use lots of maps, atlases and globes. The children have now brought in over 150 flags from the places they have visited.
We cover a wide range of topics including:
Rivers and coasts: We have the mighty River Stour on our doorstep and the world-renowned Jurassic Coastline is only a few miles away – Lulworth Cove, Stair Hole and Durdle Door within twenty minutes.
Weather and Climate: One of the highlights of the year is our fieldwork enquiry on Microclimates. Do they exist at Castle Court? All our year 8 pupils will tell you their findings.
Earthquakes and volcanoes: We have a few minor eruptions in the classroom now and again but really we are dependent on our wide range of videos and DVDs and the newspaper!
Economic activities: We look at different industries in MEDCs and LEDCs, but the favourite by far is cocoa farming in Ghana, when all the children bring in their favourite bar of chocolate.
Environmental issues: This ever-important topic figures prominently in our lessons – one of the years looks at the topic under the heading"Our environment – handle with care".

Obama Administration Makes Emergency Funding Request for Teachers
Despite President Obama's pledge for honest budgeting and billions of dollars in stimulus money spent to save teachers' jobs, the Education Department is asking for off-the-books emergency funding to keep local districts from laying off school teachers next school year.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan sent Democratic lawmakers a request Thursday to pass a $26 billion emergency supplemental to fund up to 300,000 teachers' jobs that he says will otherwise be lost in the fall.
Administration officials want to add the teacher funding to a $60 billion supplemental request sent to Congress to pay for ongoing military operations in Afghanistan as well as Haiti relief and money for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Senate Appropriations Committee passed that measure on Thursday but Committee Chairman Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, has said he is reluctant to load the bill with additional spending goodies.
The request comes just a year after an unprecedented $100 billion in federal stimulus money was allocated to school districts as part of the $863 billion recovery act. Of that amount, $48 billion was designated for saving teachers' jobs and investing in educational programs. Another $31 billion in stimulus funds were sent to states for Pell grants, competitive funds and programs helping disadvantaged students.
An additional $21 billion in stimulus money is still available but not yet obligated for district expenses, according to the U.S. Education Department.
An Education Department spokesman acknowledged that the stimulus funds have already saved roughly 300,000 teachers' jobs once, but an additional $23 billion more is needed to preserve education jobs, along with $1 billion in funds to save early childhood education jobs and an additional $2 billion to support public safety.
Education Department spokeswoman Sandra Abrevaya told FoxNews.com that the stimulus money has run nearly dry and the weak economy makes it necessary for additional funding.
"The funds are still being distributed but the vast majority has been awarded to states and states that have faced major local budget cuts over the last year and a half have used significant portions of those funds," she said.
"We are gravely concerned that ongoing state and local budget challenges are threatening hundreds of thousands of teacher jobs for the upcoming school year, with estimates ranging from 100,000 to 300,000 education jobs at risk," Duncan wrote in his letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
But some Republican lawmakers are wondering "when will it ever end?"
"I think that will be the reaction of the American people," Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., a member of the House Appropriations Committee, told FoxNews.com.
"We were told the stimulus package would fix these things. Clearly, it has not succeeded at that. At some point, some tough decisions have to be made at the local level -- spending cuts or reforms. I think it's not an appropriate role for the federal government to be involved indefinitely in these things," Cole said.
"This latest state bailout proposal promotes the same flawed logic as the failed 'stimulus' bill that has contributed to a record $1.5 trillion deficit and left one in every 10 Americans from our workforce out of work," House Minority Leader John Boehner said in a written statement.
"Giving states another $23 billion in federal education money simply throws more money into taxpayer-funded bailouts when we should be discussing why we aren't seeing the results we need from the billions in federal dollars that are already being spent," Boehner said.
During his presidential campaign, Obama slammed the use of emergency supplemental spending, which was repeatedly used as a tool in the Bush administration to pay for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
When he unveiled his first budget last year, Obama pledged to bring "honesty and fairness" back to the budget process by getting rid of off-budget items that hide the real costs for government programs and proposed tax cuts.
"Because we're also suffering from a deficit of trust, I am committed to restoring a sense of honesty and accountability to our budget," the president said in remarks during a joint session of Congress in February 2009. "That is why this budget looks ahead 10 years and accounts for spending that was left out under the old rules -- and for the first time, that includes the full cost of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. For seven years, we have been a nation at war. No longer will we hide its price."
Cole said the habitual overspending by Washington has got to stop.
"I think we violate the pledge so routinely, it's ridiculous," Cole said. "The president, I don't think, has been open or fair in the budget process."
Abrevaya couldn't say how many of the 300,000 jobs that were saved by the stimulus package are now in peril again. But she acknowledged that it's possible teachers who were able to keep their jobs over the last year and a half due to the stimulus funding may now are now facing layoffs.
"So they're now facing another school year with persistent local budget problems and need additional assistance to avoid layoffs," she said.
Abrevaya added that officials expected the economy to be in a better position by now to maintain the teacher's jobs.
"Unfortunately, while there are signs of recovery, it's not significant enough on its own to help these local decision makers [avert] thousands of layoffs," she said.

Roger & Gallet Lait Sorbets £14.00
I'll be honest, I'm crap with getting out the body lotion after a shower or a long, relaxing bath. My issue has always been that the benefits seemed such a long way off that putting in that extra 10 minutes hardly seemed worth it. Cue a monumental eureka moment of, "your skin looks like a 40 year old woman" and I've taken drastic action! Enter the slightly dreamy Roger & Gallet Lait Sorbets.
24 hour hydration was the main selling point for me. My skin gets so dehydrated that your average body butter just doesn't seem to cut it. I can apply first thing in the morning and my skin is still feeling silky smooth by the evening, which is more than I have ever asked for in a body lotion. The Bois d'Orange provides lifts the mood while the Gingembre stimulates the mind, so I can easily switch up my application based in my mood. The aloe vera and avocado oil soothes every inch of skin, which has been a real lifesaver when allergies flare up. The presence of meadowfoam oil means the lotion glides onto the skin and sinks in without hanging around making clothes stick and tempers rise. I've been able to get dressed immediately after application, negating the 'puppet' stance usually reserved for last minute fake tan! Additionally the micro-pearls leave a luminous glow to the skin, which is wonderfully subtle and does miracles under the Christmas lights!
Some of these products may have been sent for review. For more information, see disclaimer.

Please, don't get The Pink Flamingo wrong. I think there are idiots on both sides of the political extremes. There is the Loony Left, and the Loony Right. Right now, thought, the Loony Left is being drowned out by the Loony Right, which is basically having a temper tantrum, financed by John Birching mega billionaires who don't give a damn about the country, but their own bottom line.
"…The NRA board member, draft dodger Ted Nugent, made his comments during the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT Show) in Las Vegas over last weekend. Nugent said the "Barack Obama gang is actually attempting to re-implement the tyranny of King George that we escaped from in 1776, and if you want another Concord Bridge, I got some buddies." Nugent summoned the Revolutionary milestone that pitted a group of colonists against British soldiers assembled at the North Bridge in Concord, Mass. in 1775, and broke a standoff when a soldier opened fire. Nugent went on a tirade claiming "The president of the United States goes to the Vietnam Memorial Wall and pretends to honor 58,000 American heroes who died fighting communism and he pretends to pay honor to men who died fighting communism, and then he hangs out with, hires and appoints communists. He is an evil, dangerous man who hates America and hates freedom. And we need to fix this as soon as possible."…"
John Boehner says that Barack Obama is trying to annihilate the GOP. Looks to me like the GOP is doing quite well on its own. They don't need any help, thank you very much. When people like Paul Broun of Georgia say that Obama is upholding the Soviet Constitution, golly, let's face it, the GOP is up a certain sort of creek without a paddle.
You have far right lunatic bloggers like John Hawkins calling for what seems to be a national day of insurrection where the tea parties can take the lid off the national septic tank, sit around slurping out of straws, singing Kumbya, while caressing and making love to their automatic weapons. Please, make sure you put 2/23/13 on your calendar, to make sure you avoid these cesspools of Second Amendment love and frivolity. These jerks are going to get someone killed before it's over. I just hope The Pink Flamingo is not in their cross-hairs.
Bill Quick, who ever that is, thinks that Donald Douglas, another far right loon, is on to something when he wrote that Obama was raping America. Yes, they are that stupid.
"...Well, let's stipulate that not everyone's losing faith. Some folks feel they've got no choice but to fight. And with so many people alienated and pessimistic, there's a huge pool of latent revolutionaries brewing. Old Barack Hussein ain't doing himself no favors with all that escalating polarization. But that's all he knows…."
They are being led by one Ted Nugent, who was a draft dodger during the Vietnam War.
"...Nugent has an inordinate amount of gall citing the 58,000 American heroes who died fighting communism in Viet Nam, because to avoid serving his country, he defecated and urinated in his own pants and feigned insanity when he went before the draft board because as he said, "I did not want to get my ass blown off in Vietnam." Apparently the NRA board member who was too much of a coward to fight for his country has no compunction fighting against his own country, or inciting his gun-fanatic buddies to "fix" the fact the American people re-elected President Obama; "as soon as possible."…"
Take Paul Ryan – please! John Boehner, who says that Barack Obama is destroying the GOP, may have just put the final nail in the coffin by agreeing to allow Paul Ryan's nation destroying budget to be voted on in the House. We all know the Koch bought and paid for tea party whores in the House will go along with it. We know the Senate will shoot it down, along with what remains of the GOP.
Then there is Hillary Clinton. If she wants the DEM nomination for POTUS, she may have won it today. To The Pink Flamingo, with this observation, it's now who was right or wrong, but who was the biggest jerk. We all know who that was, the poster child for being a big brain-dead jerk – Rand Paul. He and Ron Johnson may have handed the nomination to her – on a silver platter – if she wants it.
You see, incompetent people like Rand Paul, Paul Broun, and Ron Johnson don't really have a clue.
Rush Limbaugh, who apparently doesn't like women who aren't bimbos, thinks Hillary had a "puke fest". That's what most of us think his radio show now is – a puke fest!
"…"She'll head home, keep a little eye on [her husband, former President Bill Clinton] now just to make it look good, but basically she got a Get Out of Jail Free Card," Limbaugh said. "Now it's time to take a look down the road at the future, make sure that all the ducks are in a row."…"
This is about pathetic, scared, little white men, one of whom we know needs a heck of a lot of Viagra, trying to destroy a very powerful and strong woman. It doesn't matter what your politics are here, this is about a few nasty little white men who are afraid that they are no longer going to be relevant in a world where everyone else is starting to have a say in the world. Let's face it, they're still pissed because America dared re-elect a person of color over white American Perfection. They're also terrified, so terrified that Hillary Clinton is going to be the next POTUS, that they are going to be chomping Viagra the way The Pink Flamingo lives on Tums. In order to destroy her, they will do anything and say anything. It doesn't matter. Only scared, little white men who need Viagra can emerge as winners in this world.
This is the bottom line:
On Wednesday evening, The Pink Flamingo was involved in a fascinating discussion on Twitter, dealing with facts, journalism, and sources. Like Sharon wrote the other day, it's bad when Republicans need to go to liberal sites to get the unvarnished facts about the GOP. We have a mess on our hands. If we were just dealing with dishonest politicians it would be one thing. Same holds true with dishonest punditry and half-way decent politicians. But, we're working with a perfect storm of dishonest politicians, dishonest punditry, and a group of men willing to pay anything to get their way.
John Boehner is wrong. Barack Obama doesn't need to do anything, or say anything to bring down the GOP. He could just whistle though.

It is an unfortunate fact that most women are seen to apply makeup that does not match well with the texture of their skin. It is hence necessary to balance the undertones in an appropriate manner so that the makeup foundation is not made prominent.
It is perhaps the most essential step to learn the art of liquid makeup application in an appropriate way. It is always a preferable option to use mineral liquid makeup option as it easily gets absorbed into one's skin. It is a fact worth mentioning that the application of liquid makeup does not cause skin irritation either.
How To Apply Liquid Makeup
Identify the Best Color
The best available color that suits ones skin perfectly should only be chosen. It is always suggested to make use of a yellow cast if one has a yellowish complexion.
It is always a judicious option to test the liquid makeup on one's jaw before applying it on one's body. Testing the color on one's wrist or jaw can bear a different color tone altogether and hence can often prove to be misleading.
Prepare Skin Properly
Before application of liquid foundation makeup it is necessary to prepare one's skin properly. Application of a suitable type of moisturizer is essential before using the liquid makeup. It is always recommended to make use of a liquid foundation sponge while applying the liquid makeup.
The main reason as to why liquid makeup sponge should be used is simply to eliminate the possibility of liquid makeup foundation wastage. Liquid foundation makeup is prevented from being wasted as the used sponge can absorb considerable amounts of liquid makeup foundation.

Mode of Makeup Application
Most women should be extremely careful while applying the liquid makeover. It is always a preferable option to apply the liquid foundation makeup with ones fingers as it ensures maximum coverage. While applying the liquid makeup with one's hand it is also necessary to ensure that one makes use of the middle finger.

It is possible to get a natural and luminous look by applying the liquid makeup with the middle/ring finger. It is not a good choice to carry on the liquid makeup application process with the index fingers. One can always start applying the foundation liquid makeup from the middle portion of one's face.
Continuing the application process by starting from the middle portion of one's face ensures the minimum usage of foundation makeup. It is necessary to continue the slight massage as long as the foundation makeup does not disappear.
The application of liquid makeup varies depending upon the texture of the skin. It is recommended to use liquid makeup along with loose powder if one has an oily skin. Blotting tissues should be used by individuals who are known to have a dry skin.
One of the most vital considerations that need to be ensured is the fact that no spot of the face should appear heavy as compared to the other. There can be little doubt about the patent fact that liquid makeup is considered to be the perfect choice for concealing blemishes, scars and other ugly spots.

YARD SALE (Garage Sale) - have I told you how I DO NOT like to prepare for yard/garage sales? Just twist my arms to get it done. Of course... once the sale is in progress and I get to visit with the customers... it's FUN!!!
BUT THEN..... it's time to box up all that DIDN'T sale and take it to the Goodwill or to my friends John and Susan's auction house. (They are such a wonderful couple...so blessed to know them!) Well... that's on the agenda for today... even though my DH doesn't know it yet! We have to load up the van and take a road trip - we're going to pretend as though we are a delivery company!
My granddaughter, Lexie, is with us for a couple of days... so that has been wonderful. She'll be the protector and ride in the back with all of the fabulous items that no one wanted! HA!!! Rain.. of course it had to rain today... but that will not stop the delivery team. I want this stuff out of here !!
Have you ever gotten to a point in your life when you just need to "minimize"? I'm there!!! All I want are the things that I LOVE THE BEST around me (can you say fabric...) and the rest can be loved by someone else now.
Then Lexie and I are headed to Cinnamon's Quilt Shoppe! They are getting some fabric ready for me... I'm starting on my first project for our B-A-A-A-D GIRLS CLUB... AND I CAN'T WAIT!! Friday night is an all night sewing event at Cinnamon's and I'm going to work on this gem!
So.... This afternoon I will be cutting my fabric... and selecting the WOOL that I'm using in the center. Gosh.. It's so cool starting a new project!

Morning all. Not a bad weekend if I say so myself. Luis Arraez and Rocco Baldelli baseballs signed Saturday. The Jorge Polanco and Nelson Cruz baseballs were part of a STH signing a few weeks back that my buddy went to for me. Miguel Sano was supposed to be there but he was a no show. Rosario and Schoop cards were signed Saturday as well.

nice haul from the weekend, any good stories about being on field?

Nothing crazy from being on the field. It's very unorganized when you get there. They have interns out waiting for people, but you have to go up to every intern and ask if you are in their group. Then when you're there on time, you still have to wait for the others that the intern has, even if they are 15-20 minutes late. Found that out the hard way since we were a little early and the others in our group were late. It was 2 dads and 2 kids, but the dads were somewhat obnoxious. Kept telling the kids to ask for stuff from the players. It got on of the kids a bat from Schoop, but they asked every player that came by. And with us being late, we missed the first group of batting practice, which had Nelson Cruz, Max Kepler, and Jorge Polanco.
I was thrilled with the players that stopped though. Luis Arraez has been really fun to watch this year. Missed out on Tony Oliva signing. He stopped signing just as we finally got on to the field. It was really cool to see how laid back the players were during BP. They all seemed really relaxed and the ones that stopped for the fans were very accommodating. The ones that stopped to sign pretty much signed for everybody that asked.
Double post
one of the players that we host has to have shoulder operation - at least end of season but he's been pitching great . our group had an icee truck come by the field house and players got freebies last night . We are still in race for playoff
Good evening, all! Out on business here in San Francisco. Taking in a Giants game here tonight!

Best AC Sizes
Buying the right sized air conditioning unit will determine how efficiently your space is cooled. However, it's also important to take into consideration climate zone, the square footage of your space, how much sun pours in, and the quality of the room's insulation. How much square footage you are looking to cool will help identify how much tonnage you need, while the quality of insulation will help you identify if the cool air will hold or seep out.
Do not be mislead into thinking the bigger the size of your air conditioner, the faster it will cool your space. The amount of square feet that needs to be cooled is relevant to the cooling capacity needed which is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) per hour. An All Year Cooling technician can help you measure and identify the sizing that is best for your home to help alleviate any confusion.
Our Services
All Year Cooling offers air conditioning installations repair, and maintenance. We've installed more than 200,000 units to date and understand how important air conditioning is in South Florida where temperatures regularly reach the high 90's. We strongly believe that the job is not done until you are satisfied.

This post is sponsored by Bio-Oil as part of their Scars Uncovered Campaign.
40.7% of people with scarring want to feel like they don't have to hide, yet 59.5% are hiding their scars away, with clothing or camouflage makeup.
'Scar acceptance is very much down to an individual's personality and their own personal coping mechanisms – either approach is fine as both bring you to a place where your scar becomes something you learn to accept, which is the important thing.' – Psychologist Jo Hemmings
There are so many different types of scars. Stretch marks (if you're interested I've done a post on why I love mine, you can read it here), surgery scars, acne scars and self inflicted scars – in other words, scars caused by self harm & thats what I'm going to be talking about today.
If you didn't know, I used to self harm. I guess its something that I don't talk about that often, compared to all the other topics I cover on my blog and channel. Its the one thing that still makes me feel slightly uncomfortable, maybe because society doesn't really understand it, and maybe because I don't always understand it myself.
Look at me now ey? Confident, happy (for the most part lol) great career, a gorgeous flat, amazing friends, the list goes on. But there was a time in my life where I had very little, in my mind anyway. I was ugly, fat, disgusting. I was worthless, damaged & not good enough. I was just a very sad, lost & depressed person and ultimately I took it out on myself.
Not only was I self harming, but I was also throwing up my food, drinking too much alcohol and surrounding myself with people who just didn't give a damn about me. Complete self destructive behaviour.
I remember hiding everything. Hiding my problems, hiding my feelings, hiding on my toilet breaks during lunch and hiding areas where I'd hurt myself. My life was one big secret. I hid away for fear of judgement and also because I knew what I was doing was wrong but I couldn't stop it & that made me even more ashamed.
Going through trauma, being bullied by peers and family members, made me internalise my problems because I felt like I had nobody to talk to and nowhere to turn. Being isolated and alone played a massive part in my problems and I know that if other people were talking about it, and it wasn't such a taboo thing, I would have been a bit more open with what I was going through.
I've spent a very large part of my life struggling to accept my body. The rolls, the extra fat, the cellulite, the scars but its definitely made me understand what compassion means. Compassion to others & compassion to myself. Self acceptance is one of the best journeys I decided to take (I'm still on it) and I'm learning things everyday. I have a long way to go but my scars are definitely one flaw I have learned to not only accept, but also love too. They're a part of me, and although they don't define me, its important to love every inch of me, even the not so pretty parts.
The biggest factor in my body acceptance was realising there were 1000s of people all over the world who felt the same way I did. Who had the same experiences that I have had and could relate to my story – that blew my mind. I soon realised that talking about my fears, helped other people talk about theirs. It was like a snowball affect. It took one person to stand up and be brave, and others, male or female, old or young, black, pink or green, all followed suit.
Its important to realise that people with kind hearts, people full of love and gratitude, are the only people you need in your life. Those kinds of people are also the ones who will take you for who you are. The people who look past your outer exterior and only care about who you are on the inside because lets face it, thats what truly matters.
I know that society will confuse you and try to mould you into something you are not. Society will have you thinking that because your skin isn't perfect, your butt isn't round and your hair isn't shiny, that you are somehow inferior. That you should hide away or simply change certain things that make you YOU. This is your reminder that when you look in the mirror and decide you hate what you see, remember its society that needs to change, not you.
Confidence is a wonderful thing and it takes effort, perseverance & time, but each and everyone of us can get there. I did.. and it genuinely makes me cry realising how far I've come. When I was self harming, it was the darkest time of my life but I made it out.. and my god, what a world there is out there.
In regards to my scars now, for the most part they don't bother me. Although I still have low body image days like everyone else, how I look doesn't hinder my life anymore. I laugh, I socialise & I don't feel like I have to cover up when its warm because I don't want people to see my marks. Bio-oil was my go to product when I wanted to show my body a little loving. It was my way of healing the damage I had done & after a while, my scars, along with the pain, began to fade.
If someone has something negative to say on who you are, what you do or what you look like, then it says way more about them than it does about you. The hardest battles are given to the strongest people and for me personally, self harm scars are battle wounds. We survived!
Be proud of who you are girl. Those who mind, don't matter. And those who matter, don't mind.
I've worked with Bio-Oil on this post as part of their Scars Uncovered campaign which aims to help people to come to accept their scars and not feel as though they have to hide them away. As part of the campaign they've created a video with real women talking about their scars to demonstrate the impact they have on peoples' lives; it's well worth a watch here.
I'm also giving away 5 bottles of Bio-Oil. To be in with a chance to win please enter your details here."

Piggy Joanna came back and tried her hands at baking :) That was her masterpiece :p Not bad , after all she got Momsie here to guide her along. Surprising ,she has taken a liking to cooking and baking :) I guess it is staying away from home for so many years has made her craves for homebaked stuff. Last Friday trip back, she baked a carrot cake for her Bunny's mother as a birthday gift...LOL! Lucky the cake turned out great and thanks to Evan's recipe that she managed to bake such a beautiful carrot cake for her Bunny's mother. I forgot to take a photo of the birthday cake .It was beautifully iced :) I am happy that she has interest in baking now and I am glad too that now I know all my recipe books will be in good hands when I am gone from the earth * wink
The happiest person that day was Piggy Jo. The moment she delivered the cake to Bunny's Mom, she cut th cake and took a slice and gave a good review...LOL! of course if I am the momsie I would said the same thing...right? But to be fair to Jo, the cupcakes was delicious too so it is true that it is a great carrot cake. A keeper for sure . Thank you to Evan's Kitchen Ramblings for sharing her delicious carrot cupcake recipe. It is simple and easy to make. I love it too !
Carrot Cupcakes - taken from Evan's Kitchen Ramblings
(makes one 22cm dia cake pan/8.6in or 15 regular cupcakes )
1 1/4cups (220g) brown sugar * Jo reduced to 1 cup
3/4 cup ( 185ml vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups (225g) plain ( all purpose) flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp grd cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
2 1/2 cups grated carrot
1/2 cup ( 60 g) chopped pecan nuts * Jo used walnuts
1/2 cup ( 80 g) sultanas

Rhydon (サイドン, Saidon, Sidon in original Japanese language versions) is a fictional character of the Pokémon franchise.
The name Rhydon is derived from rhinoceros and don, a word meaning tooth, and its spelling is influenced by the rock rhyolite. The Japanese name, Sidon, is also derived from rhinoceros (犀, sai) and don.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Rhydon appears to be a cross between a rhinoceros and a dinosaur. It is a massive gray bipedal creature with clawed forepaws and hindfeet and a long tail. Rhydon's head has two horns: one is on its forehead, and another one at the end of its snout. The latter is bigger and seems to be styled after a drill. After the production of Pokémon Diamond/Pearl, it is revealed that the male Rhydon has a longer drill horn than the female.
Rhydon's brain is considerably more developed than that of its pre-evolved form Rhyhorn, which allows it to exhibit some signs of advanced intelligence, including the ability to stand upright and walk on two legs.
Rhydon is excellently equipped both in terms of both offense and defense. Its thick hide is capable of shrugging off even direct hits from a cannon and can withstand molten lava of 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit in temperature (close to 2,000 degrees Celsius). However, Rhydon's rugged skin also makes it insensitive, preventing it from realising when it is seriously hurt.
Offensively, Rhydon's powerful tail can topple buildings (compare with Charmeleon). However, its best weapon is its horn, which Rhydon can freely rotate like a drill. The horn drill's strength is such that it, too, can destroy buildings, bore holes through solid stone and even shatter uncut diamonds, which are among the hardest substances in the world. It is said that Rhydon's Takedown attack is like being run over by a tank.
As several Pokémon have a cultural basis in film and mythology, it is interesting to note that Rhydon bears a striking resemblance to the Korean movie monster Yongary.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Besides being the evolution of Rhyhorn (from which it evolves at level 42), Rhydon can also be found in some games. In Pokémon Red and Blue, Rhydon appears inside the Unknown Dungeon. In Pokémon Yellow it is additionally available through an in-game trade in Cinnabar Island. An in-game trade is also the way to acquire Rhydon in Pokémon Gold and Silver, only it takes place in Blackthorn City. In Pokémon Crystal Rhydon is also found in Victory Road. Finally, in Pokémon XD one could be snagged from Cipher Grand Master Greevil.
Rhydon has very high Attack, Defense and Hit Points, making it a powerful and durable Pokémon. Unfortunately, besides being very slow, its Special Defense is extremely low. This, combined with its Rock/Ground type combination which makes it quadruple weak against Grass and Water-type attacks, makes Rhydon much more fragile than it appears at first glance. Rhydon can have the ability Lightningrod, making it an effective user of said ability as Electric attacks have no effect on it.
Rhydon can learn many powerful physical attacks, many of which concern its horn. It has the distinction of learning naturally Mega Horn, the most powerful Bug-type attack, which can make it effective against Grass-type Pokémon. However, this is an extremely risky play seeing Rhydon's very poor speed means that the enemy Grass type may attack first, and defeat Rhydon before it even gets the chance to use Mega Horn. Attacks often preferred in Rhydon movesets include Ground and Rock-type techniques such as Earthquake, Rock Slide and Rock Blast. Double-Edge is also a good option, since Rhydon's Rock Head ability allows it to use this strong move without suffering recoil damage. Rhydon also has the potential to learn many special attacks, but its low relative stat does not make them particularly worthwhile. Although, the Elemental Punches and Elemental Fangs are worth using in the Diamond and Pearl games, due to the fact that those six moves count as physical attacks in those games.
Rhydon has an evolution in the new Pokémon game Pokémon Diamond and Pearl which is called Rhyperior. Stats-wise, Rhyperior is only slightly stronger than Rhydon, with fairly small increases across the board (probably because traditionally, Pokémon that evolve when traded are strong anyways, due to the fact that not all players have access to trade). However, this is balanced by Rhyperior's new ability Solid Rock (which replaces Rock Head), which lowers the damage done by super-effective moves. It also has a new signature attack, Rock Wrecker, a Rock-type version of Hyper Beam. Rhydon will only evolve into Rhyperior by being traded with an item called the Protector.
Anime[edit | edit source]
Rhydon has made many appearances in the anime. The form of Rhydon first appeared in episode #17 (Island of the giant Pokémon), but it turned out to actually be a gigantic robotic Rhydon replica used in a theme park. A real giant Rhydon appeared in episode #106 (Bound for trouble), in Fairchild Island of the Orange Archipelago.
Rhydon has also been used by trainers: Blaine, the Cinnabar Island Gym Leader used one in his badge battle against Ash in episode #58 (Riddle Me This). Ash defeated the Rhydon with his Pikachu despite its type advantage by ordering Pikachu to "aim for the horn", which has spawned a minor Internet meme. Another one, on loan from Giovanni, was used by Team Rocket as acting Gym Leaders of the Viridian City Gym in episode #63 (Battle of the Badge). Rhydon appeared in episode 40 (Showdown at Dark City) under the ownership of one of the trainers at Kaz Gym; that was the Rhydon's debut episode. Finally, in episode #206 (Right on, Rhydon), a girl named Pietra managed to catch a very special Rhydon which knew the Surf skill (compare with the Surfing Pikachu) because her other Rock-type Pokémon could not build a tunnel that involved them coming into contact with water. However, in the RPG series, all Rhydons are capable of learning Surf from HM03. Brock's dad, Flint has a Rhydon, but it was just mentioned. Flint mostly had his Rhydon help him decorate the Pewter Gym's battlefield with rocks from mountaintops.
Manga[edit | edit source]
Rhydon debuts in the Red, Green & Blue chapter in its own round, Raging Rhydon, as a Koga's Pokémon that is forced to evolve by its trainer with a mysterious injection, being the first evolution showed in the manga.
Rhydon is later seen as one of Giovanni's Pokémon.
In Volume 9, Green captures a Rhydon outside the Viridian Gym. He uses it to defeat Chuck in Volume 13, as well as Oca in Volume 23. Near the end of the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Green remarks on a footnote Giovanni included in his handbook: Rhydon possibly possessed a stronger form. This is a reference to Rhydon's new evolution, Rhyperior.
Earlier in the same volume, Gold encounters a wild Rhydon during his race with Whitney. The Rhydon in question was hunting down a Sudowoodo hiding from it, and kidnapped Whitney when she interfered with her Miltank. Gold tells Sudowoodo to stand up for itself and, with assistance from his billiards cue, helps Sudowoodo defeat the Rhydon.
Trading Card Game[edit | edit source]
Rhydon has made many appearances in the card game, and all are stage 1 and Ground/Fighting type:
- Jungle
- Gym Heroes (as Brock's Rhydon)
- Skyridge
- EX Team Magma vs. Team Aqua (as Team Magma's Rhydon, as a Dark-Ground dual type)
- EX Hidden Legends
- EX Emerald
- Pokémon VS GS Half-Deck Series (as Chuck's Rhydon)
DP (Diamond)) and ((Pearl))

In a letter today, Marcy McCall MacBain, formerly of the Seaforth area in Huron County, and her husband John, both of Geneva, Switzerland, confirmed a message of hope and renewal for the Goderich community with a pledge of financial support from The McCall MacBain Foundation.
"Both my husband John and I want to provide some assistance in this time of great need in Goderich…. I am particularly fond of Goderich, and I treasure its wonderful Western Ontario heritage," stated part of that message.
The Foundation wishes to provide leverage funding to support the restoration of the built heritage of Goderich – its wonderful inventory of treasured architecture – as well as its natural heritage elements – in particular, the magnificent tree scape – and, any related undertakings to recapture that very special essence of the community that has been lost in the recent horrific environmental catastrophe.
An initial lead cash grant of $100,000 will be made to an approved organization, with an additional amount of leverage funds, up to $200,000, to be matched by cash, not in kind, donations, to enable a minimum total of $500,000 to be raised specifically in support of heritage retention and restoration for the 'built' and 'natural' environment of the community. (Only funds donated following this announcement will be eligible for matching funds.)
Details about the specifics of the fund, its administration, and its utilization will be finalized and announced in the next few days.
This preliminary announcement is offered as a message of hope, support, and renewal at a difficult time for so many across this small community who are facing what appears to be an insurmountable challenge.

Our story
Our story
One of the grand challenges in biology is to combine structural biology with cell biology so that an atomic level dissection of the cell can be reconstituted into a functional system, including its temporal dimension. The fantastic technological developments of the structural and biochemical methods in the last years make the dream accessible. Structural biology provides detailed mechanistic information about biological macromolecules and complexes that underpins our understanding of biological processes in healthy and diseased cells. It thus has enormous impact on biomedical research as evidenced by recent Nobel prizes awarded for the structure of the ribosome (2009, the major antibiotic target) and the structure of GPCRs (2012, the protein class targeted by ~40% of all current medicinal drugs). Achieving these breakthroughs depended on researchers having access to cutting edge instruments and technics for analysis of biological structures at different resolution ranges, from atomic to cellular, and combining these results in an integrative approach. Instruct, whose overall goal is to promote innovation in biomedical science, was set up to provide open access to cutting edge structural biology, specifically supporting research that uses integrated approaches and technologies. It provides peer-reviewed access for users to a broad integrated palette of state-of-the-art structural biology equipment and know-how, facilities include up to 34 technology subcategories. Instruct supports access with expert staff on-site and training for users of the instrumentation.
History leading up to the formation of Instruct:
Europe followed initiatives in the USA with the setting up of the Protein Structure Factory in Berlin, Germany, the Oxford Protein Production Facility (OPPF) in Oxford, UK and the Genopoles in France. However in October 2002 the first Europe-wide project began with the vision of a few European scientists which led to the formation of a consortium of structural biology laboratories. The project, funded by the EU FP5 programme was called SPINE: Structural Proteomics IN Europe. SPINE, a 'second generation' structural proteomics project benefited from the experience and technology development of the preceding projects while taking a more focused approach to target seelction. This was the initiator for a series of structural proteomics projects, funded by the EU which strengthened and expanded the consortium such that ever more challenging targets could be addressed.
SPINE pushed forward with cutting edge technologies aimed at biomedically relevant targets at the same time as generating a pan-European integration on biomedically focussed structural proteomics. Comprising nineteen leading centres in structural biology distributed throughout Europe, SPINE was a resounding success, culminating in a special Issue of Acta Crystallographica Section D (Vol 6(10), 2006) in which the key findings were published. Its successor, Spine2-Complexes, built on the strengths of SPINE and tackled more difficult protein complexes relevant to human health and disease, using the automated and in some cases high throughput technologies developed in SPINE and further expanding these for the more demanding targets.
By the end of the Spine2-Complexes project (2010), this European consortium group had an excellent reputation for delivering and implementing cutting edge technologies in a number of European laboratories, for making these accessible (in collaborative research) to many scientists and by encouraging their adoption into less well developed laboratories, thereby increasing the standard of structural biology across Europe. The foray into difficult targets and the rapid development in 3D imaging which, to that date, had not been explicitly included in the consortium, prompted the next major venture for European structural biology led by this group.
In 2002, the European Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) was established, representing the Member States research ministries and the European Commission. ESFRI produced the first Roadmap on Research Infrastructures that defined the mid- and long-term strategy for European Member States in 2006 and the EU provided funds to support the preparatory development of infrastructures in Europe. The European consortium born from SPINE and Spine2-Complexes rose to the challenge of setting up Instruct to deliver access to high-end infrastructures for structural biology to European scientists. The Preparatory Phase of this initiative, generously funded by the EU, enabled the ambitious and sometimes frustrating path towards today's Instruct to be fashioned from vision to reality. Many of the scientists who foresaw the first SPINE vision are still part of Instruct and many more scientists have since joined the group such that Instruct now has an active following comprising in excess of 700 European scientists. Now at the start of a transitional Operations Phase, the challenge for Instruct has really just begun.
As structural biology now requires integrated approaches combining multiple technologies, Instruct is the single vehicle delivering this truly integrative approach not only in Europe but beyond. Most individual services provided by Instruct Centres are not commercially available in the private sector. Certainly no infrastructure on this level exists in the world that provides the multi-platform, integrated format available to Instruct users. Thus Instruct will be a major player in promoting innovation and discovery in biomedical science, defining a Strategic plan for structural biology in Europe that will help to develop the European Research Area, supporting the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries and helping to meet the Grand Challenges as defined by Horizon 2020.
To service the scientific and translational mission above, Instruct is a distributed European infrastructure whose task is to provide peer-reviewed open access for users to a broad integrated palette of state-of-the-art structural biology infrastructure, thus promoting innovation in biomedical science and facilitating high impact research. Instruct provides open access to high-end technologies that might not otherwise be available to users through institutional, regional or national facilities. These technologies, chosen to represent the most advanced or specialist, are provided with the experience and expertise to guide users through an experimental process that optimizes the research outcome and provides practical training in parallel. An additional Instruct training programme provides both basic training in structural approaches and methods for the new user, and more specialist training for those wishing to expand their skills.
Importance for European Research
Instruct strategy has been to select as its nodes, complimentary Centres of excellence where advanced structural biology instrumentation and methods are available in an expert academic setting. Instruct offers a single point of access to both multiple techniques integrated at one site or over sites, or to more specialized Centers that have developed unique expertise. This strategy has the advantage that scarce, highly expensive instrumentation combined with the necessary expertise and training capacity, is available for international access and thus promotes dissemination of technical advances throughout Europe. Furthermore, as biology now requires integrated approaches combining multiple technologies, Instruct is the single vehicle delivering this truly integrative approach not only in Europe but beyond. Thus Instruct will be a major player in promoting innovation and discovery in biomedical science, defining a Strategic plan for structural biology in Europe that will help to develop the European Research Area, supporting the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries and helping to meet the Grand Challenges.
Finally, Instruct is ideally positioned for designing a combined top-down and bottom-up strategy for future investments in structural biology in Europe. The experience accumulated by Instruct is extremely valuable and ideally positions Instruct for describing the future European Infrastructure landscape in structural biology, given the current scientific trends, and with our detailed knowledge of the present situation in Europe. Instruct is initiating these actions to deliver such a strategic view, with added perspective from the Instruct Independent Scientific Advisory Board.
Value of Instruct
Instruct's uniqueness lies in offering a coordinated route to access each of the Instruct technologies appropriate for the best scientific outcome: this takes the form of peer-reviewed, free-at-the-point-of-use, open access with expert support and supervision with advice on other methods, technologies or approaches that might be useful. Added value is gained by the user in discovering new opportunities for exploiting synergistic integrative approaches through collaboration, mobility to excellent facilities, expert training and increased skills in the latest and developing technologies.

At the RAS Club Dinner last Friday I chatted for a while with my former DPhil supervisor, John Barrow. I'm not sure how, but the topic came up about how helpful it is to use sports to teach physics. By coincidence he chose the same example as I have used in the past during first-year tutorials, the pole vault.
Years ago I went to watch an athletics meeting at Gateshead Stadium and sat right next to the pole vault area. I can tell you that the height the vaulters reach is truly spectacular, especially when you're close to the action. The current world record for the pole vault is 6.14m, in fact, set by the legendary Sergey Bubka in 1994, so the record hasn't been broken for 17 years. Here's a clip of him a few years earlier clearing a mere 6.10 metres (pretty comfortably, by the look of it)…
One might infer, from the fact that the record has not been broken for such a long time, that pole vaulters are working pretty much at the limit of what the human body can achieve. And a bit of physics will convince you of the same.
Basically, the pole is a device that converts the horizontal kinetic energy of the vaulter , as he/she runs in, to the gravitational potential energy acquired at the apex of his/her vertical motion, i.e. at the top of the vault.
Now assume that the approach is at the speed of a sprinter, i.e. about , and work out the height that the vaulter can gain if the kinetic energy is converted with 100% efficiency. Since the answer turns out to be about 5 metres.
This suggests that 6.15 metres should not just be at, but beyond, the limit of a human vaulter, unless the pole were super-elastic. However, there are two things that help. The first is that the centre of mass of the combined vaulter-plus-pole does not start at ground level; it is at a height of a bit less than 1m for an an average-sized person. Nor does the centre of mass of the vaulter-pole combination reach 6.15 metres. The pole does not go over the bar, but it's pretty light so that probably doesn't make much difference. However, it's not obvious that the centre of mass of the vaulter actually passes over the bar. That certainly doesn't happen in the high jump – owing to the flexibility of the jumper's back the arc is such that the centre of mass remains under the bar while the different parts of the jumper's body go over it.
Moreover, it's not just the kinetic energy of the vaulter that's involved. A human can in fact jump vertically from a standing position, using elastic energy stored in muscles. One can't jump very high like that, but it seems likely to me that this accounts for a few tens of centimetres.
Anyway, it is clear that pole vaulters are remarkably efficient athletes. And not a little brave either – as someone who is scared of heights I can tell you that I'd be absolutely terrifed being shot up to 6.15 metres on the end of a bendy stick, even with something soft to land on!Follow @telescoper

Top 5 Ways to Have a Healthy, Successful Marriage
Marriage is a favorite topic of study for Gregg and me. We have read the books, watched the videos, attended online seminars, listened to sermons, read the Bible, and have garnered a lot of psycho-babble inspiration on what makes a good marriage.
As this is Valentine's Day, February 14th, and the last day of National Marriage Week, I thought I'd give you our top 5 ways to have a healthy, successful marriage (and these are by no means exclusive) .Pin It
Love & Respect
The above quote very effectively sums up what I hear most often when addressing the idea of wives respecting their husbands the same way that husbands are to love their wives. I don't know why we accept the fact that they must unconditionally love us, but a wall goes up when considering an unconditional respect.Pin It
Love & Marriage
When God said, " It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him," (Genesis 2:18) there are two Hebrew words that could have been used for "not good." One is 'ên tôb, which means that something is lacking. As in, this coffee is lacking cinnamon, or these mashed potatoes are lacking salt. The other is lõ'tôb, which means positively bad. As in, it is positively bad that man is alone, so I will make for him a helper.

By GERSHON BASKIN
First came the Caesarea conferences on Israel's economic policies and plans run by the Israel Democracy Institute where ministers and Bank of Israel officials came to deliver high-profile speeches on the future of our economic welfare. Then came the Herzliya conferences to which prime ministers, foreign ministers, chiefs of staff and others leaders from the security military establishment presented their views and policy plans.
Now comes the U.S. Congress and offers a podium to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to make a major policy address. Where's the Knesset? Congress already gives Israel more than $3 billion a year, so they are certainly within their right to have the prime minister put on a show for them? And why shouldn't the he agree to go along?
But a better question is why don't our political leaders use the podium belonging to the Israeli people to address the public? Of course the U.S. Congress is much friendlier to the prime minister than the Knesset. Netanyahu enjoys the support of more than 95 percent of the U.S. Congress. In the U.S. Congress no one will heckle him; he might even get a standing ovation.
Despite the "feelgood" aspect of a US congressional speech, the prime minister of Israel should be required to make major foreign policy speeches in the Knesset. But it seems clear that what Netanyahu has to say, we might have already heard from him. It's safe to assume that whatever he says will probably be insufficient to renew negotiations with the Palestinians or to prevent the world from recognizing a Palestinian state in September. But Netanyahu knows very well that the AIPAC-supported Republican-led Congress will love his speech and they will use it against President Obama.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas once again stated this week that he would prefer to enter negotiations with Israel than take the Palestinian issue to the United Nations. Abbas expects that more than 140 nations will recognize Palestine within the June 4, 1967 borders, with Jerusalem as the capital of two states. Nonetheless, Abbas is well aware that for real peace to be established and for Palestine to really exist, he must have an agreement with Israel on all of the core issues.
Abbas's refusal to renew negotiations is not only because of continued settlement expansion. Abbas has also indicated that there has been no Israeli response whatsoever to the Palestinian document submitted to U.S. Special Envoy for Middle East Peace George Mitchell almost two years ago. The government has not indicated the slightest bit of seriousness on reaching an agreement. Instead, Israeli policymakers insist that we need to seek a Palestinian state with provisional borders, that the Palestinian leadership is not a partner for peace, that Israel cannot and will not withdraw from the Jordan Valley and a slew of more "no's." Israel even refuses to grant the Palestinians control over the small access road that would make the building of the new Palestinian city Rawabi feasible, despite the pressure from the U.S. and the EU.
Israel today fully controls more than 60 percent of the West Bank and refuses to give up even one centimeter of that land to the Palestinians. Even if Netanyahu announces a willingness to transfer some small parts of Area C to the Palestinians, it makes no difference. In reality, as long as Israel controls all external borders, Palestinians have no real freedom.
From the Palestinian perspective, there is absolutely no Israel intention or even desire to reach an agreement. The Palestinians have had enough of peace processes. There is no need to sit at the negotiating table if there is no intention of reaching an agreement. So if Netanyahu is serious about negotiations, he should first state that he intends to reach a comprehensive agreement. Instead he has stated that he is willing to offer the Palestinians a state on 50 or 60 percent of the West Bank with Israel controlling the external borders. This is a non-starter. No state will agree to live in a sovereign cage.
It should be clear to Netanyahu and to the Israeli people that the Palestinians will no longer wait for our political system to come to its senses. In order to save the two-state solution, the UN will be forced to take action in September and even if Palestine is only created on paper, the days of the continued occupation of the Palestinian state will be numbered and the diplomatic tsunami will be much more dramatic.
Palestinians will significantly strengthen their hand at the UN in September if they also submit an Israeli-Palestinian peace treaty reflecting the middle ground between the Abbas and Olmert positions during the last round of serious negotiations. The Palestinians should sign it and leave a blank space for Israel's signature. This will leave no doubt whatsoever regarding Palestine's intention to be a "peace-loving state" as mentioned in the UN Charter.
Neither the Palestinians, nor Israel, want the U.S. or the Quartet to impose a peace plan. Imposed peace plans will not work and, even if good, the very idea that it is imposed will cause the hot-headed Middle Easterners that we are to reject it. What we need is for the U.S. and the Quartet to put parameters on the table so that negotiations can be framed and condensed in a way that will enable a full comprehensive agreement that will also be the end of conflict and the end of claims.
For those parameters to be an acceptable base, there must be language and elements that address Israel's needs, and not only those of the Palestinians. The parameters must speak about a two-state solution where each state is the nation-state of its people, recognizing the specific character of each state while also guaranteeing the full and equal rights of the minorities in those states. The parameters must mention the non-militarized nature of the Palestinian state and the ways and means to guarantee that it will remain so. The parameters must be more specific about what the international community is willing to do to guarantee that Israel's threat perceptions regarding the Palestinian state will not become a security threat reality.
A set of parameters which are perceived as more balanced by Washington will have a greater chance of being accepted by a large part of Israeli society, even if the current government does not accept it. Those parameters would provide the basis for creating a Palestinian state that Israel could live with.

Bayesian Analysis of Heterogeneous Treatment Effect.
It is vital to assess the heterogeneity of treatment effects (HTE) when making health care decisions for an individual patient or a group of patients. Nevertheless, it remains challenging to evaluate HTE based on information collected from clinical studies that are often designed and conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a treatment for the overall population. The Bayesian framework offers a principled and flexible approach to estimate and compare treatment effects across subgroups of patients defined by their characteristics. This package allows users to explore a wide range of Bayesian HTE analysis models, and produce posterior inferences about HTE. See Wang et al. (2018) for further details.

For Us
today's reading.
Revelation 22:1-8 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb...
the blog.
I was completely taken in by the splendor and beauty of the scene John describes for us in Revelation 22:1-8. It's certainly nothing like anything I've ever seen or experienced. I tried to imagine this perfect, wonderful dwelling place of God. Then my thoughts shifted to me being there part of it all. All I could think was How awesome! Thank you, God.
So what does Revelation 22:1-8 tell us about God's love for us? What can we do (or are we already doing) to give back and reciprocate that love? What about passing it on to others? Tami W.
