We can fight and win on our own, Trinamool tells Congress
In a strong message to ally Congress after winning elections to four of six civic bodies, West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress on Tuesday said the victory was a strong indicator of its might in the state.
"The result is a strong indicator of the might of the party and proves that the Trinamool Congress can stand firm on its own feet in West Bengal. It has now been established that the Trinamool Congress can fight and win elections on its own," party general secretary and Railways Minister Mukul Roy told media.
The Trinamool snatched Dhupguri municipality in Jalpaiguri district and Burdwan district's Durgapur Municipal Corporation from the Left Front, triumphed in the Nalhati municipality in Birbhum district and retained the Panskura municipality in East Midnapore district. The elections were held on Sunday.
While the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M)-led Left Front continued to hold sway over East Midnapore district's Haldia municipality, for the Congress the sole consolation was its success in retaining Cooper's Camp municipality in Nadia district.
The Trinamool and the Congress, allies in the central and state governments, fought separately in the civic polls for the first time after the assembly elections last year.
"The fight in the polls was not only against the Left (Front) but also against the Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Maoists. The victory has vindicated our stand to go it alone," Roy said.
Describing the CPI-M as an 'endangered species', Roy said the alliance was hurtling towards "extinction".
"We snatched three civic bodies from others. The LF barely managed to retain Haldia. Even there, we have consolidated our position since the last polls (2007).
"Bagging 72 of the 129 seats establishes the fact that we fight and win on our own," added Roy.

Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has told IBTimes UK that former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson tried to block Cristiano Ronaldo's move to the Santiago Bernabeu due to his obsession with the La Liga giants.
Calderon resigned as president of Real Madrid in January 2009, while Ronaldo left Old Trafford for the Bernabeu in the summer of that year.
But the president told IBTimes UK that he was the one who made the deal a reality, not current president Florentino Perez, as the £80m ($121m) agreement that saw Ronaldo joining Madrid was reached in 2008.
And Calderon claimed that during that whole year, Ferguson made every effort to stop the Portuguese moving to Real Madrid due to his obsession with Los Blancos and even offered Barcelona the chance to sign him instead.
"We agreed his signing after two years of negotiations. He was signed on 12 December 2008, just one month before my departure," Calderon said.
"It was hard because United didn't want him to leave. I spoke several times with David Gill, who was then one of United officials and whom I still keep a strong relationship. Ferguson did not want him to leave but they had to accept that the player wanted to go.
"He was indeed going to come the year before but I remember Ronaldo had a press conference to say that he was going to stay at Old Trafford instead.
"Ronaldo then called me to say that he will come the following year. He told me that he had a commitment with Ferguson and with the United supporters to stay one more year but that he had agreed with the club to move the following summer. And so it happened. He agreed with United to let him go to Real Madrid for £80m and so was signed the following year.
"But during that year Ferguson tried to block the deal. Ferguson has always had an obsession with Real Madrid because they know we were the club that overshadowed them. So he tried to block Ronaldo's move to Real Madrid by offering him to Barcelona. Barcelona welcomed the news but the player insisted he just wanted to go to Real Madrid."
Ronaldo's move to Madrid almost never happened
Meanwhile, Calderon also said Perez was close to breaking the Ronaldo agreement because he thought £80m was too much.
Calderon said: "We signed Ronaldo because we thought that an attack with him and Arjen Robben would be hard to match. But Florentino Perez parted ways with Robben and Sneijder and even considered breaking Ronaldo's agreement. It was ironic because in Perez's first year in charge, Robben and Sneijder [both signed by Ramon Calderon] reached the Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Inter Milan.
"But at least Perez accepted the signing of Ronaldo. He didn't want to ratify the agreement because it was not reached by him. He said he was too expensive and that with £80m he could buy other players.
"Thanks God [then sporting director] Jorge Valdano and [director] Jose Angel Sanchez told him to ratify the deal. After that things have not gone bad for him. He is not a man of football but an entrepreneur but has done not bad at all."
Even though Ronaldo is still thriving in La Liga, there has been a lot of speculation about his intentions to return to Old Trafford one day. Questioned about that, Calderon said: "I don't know and I think either the player is yet to make the decision.
"His spell at Real Madrid is being great but he may decide to move away in the future either to return to the Premier League or even to go to Portugal, his homeland. But it is early to say it because surely he has not made the decision yet."

Clifford Brubaker to End 25-Year Tenure as Dean of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences
Clifford E. Brubaker, PhD, who has served as professor and dean of the University of Pittsburgh School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (SHRS) for nearly 25 years, will step down from the deanship on July 1. Dr. Brubaker, a Distinguished Service Professor of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, also holds appointments in the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the Department of Neurological Surgery, and the Clinical and Translational Science Institute.
As reported by Jane-Ellen Robinet, Dr. Brubaker joined the University of Pittsburgh in 1991 when the SHRS was Pitt's newest and smallest school. During his tenure, the school's enrollment has grown from 300 to 1,467 students, and its externally funded research has surged from $200,000 to more than $23.3 million. Dr. Brubaker, through his early establishment of the Center for Assistive Technology and a rehabilitation-engineering research program as well as other initiatives, succeeded in making Pitt a forerunner in the nascent field of rehabilitation science.
"Throughout his long tenure, Dean Brubaker has dedicated himself to the attainment of excellence in every aspect of SHRS's development. He has guided the constant growth of SHRS's academic and research programs, both in number and quality, with remarkable managerial skill and vision. The more than 100-fold growth in research productivity during Dr. Brubaker's tenure is almost beyond belief," said Arthur S. Levine, MD, Pitt's senior vice chancellor for the health sciences and John and Gertrude Petersen Dean of Medicine.
Dr. Levine has named as interim dean Anthony Delitto, PhD, professor and chair, Department of Physical Therapy, associate dean for research in the SHRS, and affiliated faculty member of the McGowan Institute.

a medieval monastery in the village of Sanain, in the present-day city of Alaverdi, in the Armenian SSR.
Sanain Monastery was one of the major medieval cultural centers of northern Armenia. The complex included a scriptorium, a library, and an academy. The monastery had extensive landholdings. In the tenth through 13th centuries the number of monks at the monastery totaled between 300 and 500; they included scholars and cultural figures.
Although the construction of the monastery extended over several centuries, the complex forms a unified, harmonious whole. The main group of structures includes the cruciform-domed Astvatsatsin Church (c. 934) and Amenaprkich Church (957–962). The latter—the monastery's main church—has sculptures of the church fathers on the eastern facade and the remains of murals in the apse. Between the two churches is a vaulted and galleried school (late tenth and early 11th centuries). On the western side of the churches are attached gavits (church foyers): there is a four-pillared gavit (1185) with a ceiling of arches and vaults and a triple-aisle gavit (1211) with a vaulted covering. The monastery also includes a tiered bell tower (mid-13th century), a library (1063, with its original eight-sided cupola), and the round cruciform-domed Chapel of St. Gregory (before 1061). Near the main group of buildings are situated a number of other structures, including the tomb of the Zakharid and Agrutin-Dolgoruki princes (1189), the Sarkis Chapel, and the Karapet Church. Over the Debet River there is a single-arch bridge, dating from the late 12th century.

Cuba: Letter to Fidel from FAO Director General
Published on Axis of Logic (Source: Granma.cu), by José Graziano da Silva, FAO, May 8, 2013.
Rome, April 29, 2013, DEAR Comandante:
I have the honor of addressing you from my position as Director General of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), to sincerely congratulate you and the entire Cuban people for having fulfilled in advance the goal proposed by the World Food Summit, which took place in Rome 1996, and which proposed to reduce by half the number of malnourished persons in each country by 2015.
As you will surely recall, you honored us with your presence at that Summit and gave a brief but impressive speech, which still remains in the collective memory of our Organization. You concluded your speech by saying, "The bells tolling today for those who die of hunger today, will toll tomorrow for humanity in its entirety if humanity does not wish, or know how or is not wise enough to save itself." And it is said that you stated in the press conference following the aforementioned Summit that even if the goal were to be met, you would not know what to say to the other half of humanity not yet liberated from the scourge of hunger. These are concepts which preserve all their significance and value today.
Since then 17 years have transpired and I now have the great satisfaction of communicating to you that, in accordance with the decision of member countries and for the first time in its history, the FAO Conference, to take place this June in Rome, will adopt the total eradication of hunger as the number one goal of our Organization … //

Latinx activists Maria Milner and Leandra Blei spoke to us in Kerrville on Wednesday. Here are notes from their presentation. We will schedule a follow-up to give us an opportunity to ask questions. *Note that Latinx is a term that replaces Latino/Latina. Thanks a million HF for these amazing notes!
Part I: Statistics/Political History/Voter Outreach
Key Ideas
- Traditional getout the vote methods don't work.
- Political empowerment happens only when we become fully and consciously integrated in the community – ALL communities.
- No expectation without reciprocation.
- People need to be treated as humans.
Voter Engagement Barrier History/Generational Beliefs
- Financial/Economic: Poll tax (1902-1964); Laredo began first GOTV movement in 1911, along with ACLU
- Generational Issue: Impression that voting "costs something"
- Discrimination: White primaries (1929-1945); creation of LULAC, GI Forum, and Delgado vs. Bastrop ISD (1945 – Hispanics considered "white") ended these
- Generational Issue: Voting is racial.
- Time: Annual voter registration (1966-1971); Southwest Voter Registration Education Project started by Willie Velasquez helped end this
- Generational Issue: Unawareness and apathy
- Paperwork: Extension of the Voting Rights Act (1975) allowed Hispanics to vote "comfortably"
- Generation Issue: Unawareness and apathy
- Convenience: Texas Voter ID Law (2011-2015 – still in courts but a result of partial repeal of the Voting Rights Act of 1965); weekend voter rights act (2015)
- Generation Issue: Lack of education about SB14 and disenfranchisement with ID law
- Gerrymandering
- Generational Issue: Belief that voting doesn't affect Latinx
2016 Presidential Candidates Approaches
- Trump: Outreach through religious communities created by his advisory council caused a Latinx bump in Republican voting so that 18% voted for him.
- Hillary: Her attempt to become "everyone's Abuelita" on a surface level was seen as "Hispandering" and she could not connect with immigration or poverty issues and was unrelatable. Most Hispanic women Democrats wanted Bernie Sanders and this caused the division in voting.
- In 2011 71% of Latinx voted for Obama, but in 2016 only 66% voted for Hillary, proving that Latinx are not monolithic.
Hope vs. Reality in the Latinx Community
- 27% of Latinx in Texas are eligible to vote (⅓ of the population)
- Only 14% of Latinx in Texas are registered to vote
- 2.6 million Latinx in Texas are eligible to vote but are not registered
- In 2014 48% of Latinx voted for John Cornyn
- In 2014 44% of Latinx voted for Greg Abbott
- It is a myth that whites can connect to the disenfranchised Latinx community. White privilege is the reality.
- Voting beliefs/attitudes/behaviors are generationally taught.
- Latinx women will not speak up or out.
- Latinx men are expected to stay strong.
Reality Engagement and Empowerment – Changing the Conversation
- Expectation MUST be followed by reciprocation. Our presence in the Latinx community must be ongoing. Voter outreach and candidate success must include keeping up the relationship in communities. Believing in a candidate comes when helping out in a community is a reality.
- A Seat at the Table is non-negotiable. Equality without equity – equal opportunity – is simply an invitation.
- Latinx are NOT monolithic. Not all speak Spanish and most communities reject the connection to Spain.
- Latinx live with the reality of a caste system. Because of historical Spaniard separation of color, communities believe that "money whitens," even within immigrant communites
Latinx Community Needs
- Compassion (poor white communities need this as well)
- Genuine concern beyond politics
- Loyalty and reciprocation
"El pueblo unido jamás será vencido" – When a group or people stick together, they cannot be defeated.
Part II: What Do We Do Now?
Key Ideas
- Deal with out whiteness by doing the following (from the "Charlottesville article"):
- Get involved and figure out what the community asks of you.
- Realize you won't always be paralyzed.
- Know that becoming involved with and part of the community is not a linear path.
- Acknowledge that telling a community that they are "voting against their own self-interest" is condescending.
- Recognize that assimilation creates a dichotomy of "I was born here and I am not one of them."
- Practice empathy.
Next Steps
- Get Into Communities. Be visible and listen. Don't set up tables just at Dies y Seis celebrations. Go to Latinx community celebratons, laundromats, meat markets, everyday life activities.
- State ideas and platforms simply and directly. Be clear and concise and connect it to Latinx families and communities.
- Be accessible.
- Be visible. Leave voting information (dates, locations, "how does this affect me?" "who's on the ballot," "how do these policies help or hurt me, my family, and my community?") in non-white spaces.
- Be present. Do something. Do anything.

The Kansas Emergency Relief Committee was created in July 1932 to obtain and administer federal emergency loans made available to states through Herbert Hoover's Emergency Relief and Construction Act of 1932. President Franklin Roosevelt expanded on this act with the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) in 1933, leading the Kansas committee to change its name to the Kansas Emergency Relief Committee (KERC). Under the direction of Kansas's new governor, Alf Landon, the KERC managed direct and work relief programs in Kansas including emergency education, transient relief, rural rehabilitation, drought relief, and a slew of public works projects including the construction of farm ponds and lakes, and the renovation and construction of public buildings, roads, and quarries.

Facebook Sees Its First Live Theater Performance
If Facebook can host presidential debates and Twitter can host live concerts, why can't theater appear on social media?
Berlin's Maxim Gorki Theater proved Facebook can be home to a live theater experience Monday, in what it calls Facebook's first performance. Twitter saw its first performance last year with the Royal Shakespeare Company's rendition of Romeo and Juliet.
The German theater's performance of Theodor Fontane's Effi Briest premiered on the social network in a special adaptation for the "online Facebook stage," Reuters reports.
"We were really pleased to try something new and innovative, and have learned a lot about how we can use the internet for our productions," a spokesperson for the theater told Reuters, adding that the theater would consider using Facebook for future performances. "Facebook can't replace the stage, but it offers some really interesting opportunities to perform theatre online."
Status updates, shared photos and wall posts between characters were part of the interactive experience. Audience members voted for their favorite wedding dress option and contributed to a love letter exchanged between characters. Of course, there were periods during the show where Facebook chatter was discouraged. The performance narrator sent "silence in the theater, please," messages, sort of like a virtual dimming of the lights.
The theater says some 1,200 people joined the Facebook group before stage admittance was closed (you can no longer gain admittance), but many others may have watched online during the production. A more traditional version of the production goes up this Saturday.
What do you think of this integration of social media into the arts? Have you seen other theaters innovating with social media?

Hello Tokyo for the 3rd Year
It's our 3rd year in Tokyo!
We love love this place, the people, the food, the culture, the confusing trains and thankfully I can say for 2017, the weather.
Warm, but windy with light rain – it's all I can ask for!
So, we are here for work again but we try to find some time for ourselves no matter day or night.
We dutifully wake up early in Tokyo, Japan because come on!!!!! It's the LAND OF THE RISING SUN. (trumpet effect in action)
Anyway we can't get enough of Japan and we plan to bring the brood soon, hopefully…. eventually?
So, let's go shall we?
1) Our daily breakfast which costs ¥550/person + coffee/tea/juice of your choice
So typically, it's almost the same good stuff everyday – salmon or mackarel; raw egg or scrambled; white rice or brown.
We are not complaining but I just don't like nattō. Its texture is somehow 'geli'.
2) Ahhhh after setting up our booth at the exhibition centre, we always head to Aqua City Odaiba where the Great Ramen Stadium is located!
7th Floor baby!
3a) Kissaten hunting time – the very best for me is Chatei Hatou which is situated at Shibuya, 3-min walk from Shibuya station, pass Tower Records, in a dark alley.
This 29 year old cafe is like a pilgrimage site for traditional coffee.
The cottage looking place, the exterior itself brings you back down memory lane – not that I was born yet in that era (am just saying-go with da'flow)
♦Chatei Hatou is located at 1 Chome-15-19 Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0002, Japan
3b) Another cafe to look out for to check-off that checklist of yours, is Cafe de L'ambre. People call this 'The Legendary' cafe.
Reviews said that if you are looking for the best damn coffee experience then don't look any further as they've been serving quality coffee in Ginza since 1948 and have been using a classic Fuji roaster.
But bear in mind, they serve 'COFFEE ONLY' and no others.
♦Café de L'Ambre is located at 8 Chome-10-15 Ginza, Tokyo
4) Walking around Kappabashi-dori a.k.a. Kitchen Town
After doing part window shopping part shopping (wink^ wink^), we found a cafe! Looks pristine on the outside, all white kinda like a modern castle. So, we went in!
5) Our date with Tomoko
After spending almost a week in Tokyo, it was time for me to leave. The hubs will be continuing his business trip without me or should I say, I will be returning to KL without him.
TOKYO 4th TIME – COMING SOON
(keeping fingers and toes crossed)

Culture Trip stands with
Black Lives Matter
Even if you are feeling tired after a day at the beach, going home and missing a unique sunset would be a huge mistake. Painters, take out your canvases, and photographers, take out your cameras, because as the sun goes down, the most beautiful colors appear. If you are brave enough to wake up early in the morning, witness the sunrise as well, you won't regret it.
The tayelet is the famous 5 km sidewalk that touches the beach and the city of Tel Aviv. People walk with their friends, they bike with loud music, some run with their dogs; everyone is full of dynamism and energy and ready to start the day. If you are looking for a take-it-easy start to your day, have a seat in a charming outdoor coffee place and order your favorite drink facing the sea. There are many restaurants open for amazing hot chocolates and coffees, so don't be afraid to enter and ask!
If you don't already meditate, the white sands of Tel Aviv beaches are the perfect place to start. It not only takes a few minutes of your time, but doing it on a towel facing the sun is the best occasion to find your inner peace. If you didn't meditate before, you will master it in a simple month, and it will become a regularly habit. Cross your legs, close your eyes, take a big breath, and put on headphones… at the beach.
Everybody knows that swimming in a clear salty sea is way better than a cold pool, especially in Tel Aviv's Mediterranean Sea. The temperature is perfect, the waves are not too high, the sun will warm you up, and you will find little fish that will tickle your legs. Put on your nicest bathing suit and jump into the blue alone or with friends; you will have a great time guaranteed. Even during winter, taking off your shoes and socks and putting your feet in the cold water will put a smile on your face. In Israel, they say happiness comes from salty water!
Sorry, was that Italian or Spanish? The beaches in this special city are multicultural. You will find Germans sitting down together, and not far away from them are teens from France. You would think that this only happens in the summer when everyone reunites on the beach, but in fact, this is common in Tel Aviv all year long! So if you are trying to learn new words from a foreign language, be open-minded, introduce yourself to strangers, and you will have a pleasant afternoon surrounded by people from all over the globe.
No matter where you are on the beach, you will hear 'Avatiah im bulgarit' (which translates to 'watermelon with Bulgarian cheese') everywhere you walk. Whether it is a boiling hot summer day or a freezing and cold February day, this dish never gets old and will leave you wanting more. It is the most refreshing, delicious local snack you will taste at the beach. The menus of the restaurants are filled with amazing meals, but watermelon and Bulgarian cheese is the most popular one by far, ask anyone… or try it yourself!
Whether throwing a frisbee or playing the famous matkot game that Israelis play on the beach, you can find a variety of different sports available to you at the beach. After a long week of stress and work, it is good to release some energy outside. Tel Aviv's beaches offer multiple outdoor gyms, free for everyone to use every day of the week, at any time of the day. If you are looking to gain some muscle, this is the perfect place for you! Which other city has an outdoor gym for you to workout at?

Cars That Look Like the Chrysler Pacificaby Jen Davis
The Chrysler Pacifica was a mid-sized crossover utility vehicle (CUV) that was produced from 2004 through 2008. The Pacifica gives the appearance of being a cross between a minivan, an SUV and a four-door sedan. Its fairly short production was due to its having fairly limited success and sales. There have been several other crossover SUV vehicles produced that have a similar appearance and performance to the Pacifica.
Dodge Journey
The Dodge Journey was introduced as the Pacifica left the market. It shares a virtually identical body style and wheelbase, and has many of the same statistics and options that were available on the Pacifica. As Dodge and Chrysler are two different brands under the same company, it is fairly safe to say that the Pacifica was more or less removed from the Chrysler brand, modified slightly and re-introduced to the market as the Journey.
Nissan Murano
The Nissan Murano crossover SUV was introduced as one of the first crossover SUVs in the United States in 2003. The Murano was one of the Pacifica's primary competitors. The Murano is similar to the Pacifica in many ways. The Murano features a similar body design, and many of the same features offered by the Pacifica. However, the Murano also offered more-powerful engines and drivetrains than the Pacifica.
Lexus RX 330
The Lexus RX 330 was another crossover SUV that was physically similar to the Chrysler Pacifica. It was produced from 2004 through 2006. The Lexus RX 330 offered a lot more luxury features and options than the Pacifica did. However, it too only had limited sales success.

Camino- Effective Monday November 9th 2015 at 8:00 am the burn permit suspension in Amador, El Dorado, Alpine, and Sacramento Counties will be lifted. CAL FIRE Amador- El Dorado acting Unit Chief Brian Estes is formally cancelling the burn permit suspension and advises that those possessing current and valid agriculture and residential burn permits can now resume burning on permissible burn days. Agriculture burns must be inspected by CAL FIRE prior to burning until the end of the peak fire season. Inspections may be required for burns other than agriculture burns as well. This can be verified by contacting your local Air Quality Management District.
CAL FIRE burn permits will be required until the end of peak fire season. While cooler temperatures have helped to diminish the threat of wildfire, we are still in our fourth year of drought. Property owners and residents are asked to use caution while conducting debris or agriculture burns. Always use caution when burning, follow all guidelines provided, and maintain control of the fire at all times. Individuals can be held civilly and/or criminally liable for allowing a fire to escape their control and/or burn onto neighboring property.
Residents wishing to burn MUST verify it is a permissive burn day prior to burning by calling the appropriate number for your location;
South Lake Tahoe (530) 621-5842, (888) 332-2876
Pile Burning Requirements
• Only dry, natural vegetative material such as leaves, pine needles and tree trimmings may be burned.
• The burning of trash, painted wood or other debris is not allowed.
• Do NOT burn on windy days.
• Piles should be no larger than four feet in diameter and in height. You can add to pile as it burns down.
• Clear a 10 foot diameter down to bare soil around your piles.
• Have a shovel and a water source nearby.
• An adult is required to be in attendance of the fire at all times.
Safe residential pile burning of forest residue by landowners is a crucial tool in reducing fire hazards. State, Federal and Local land management and fire agencies will also be utilizing this same window of opportunity to conduct prescribed burns aimed at improving forest health on private and public lands.
For more information on burning, visit the CAL FIRE website at www.fire.ca.gov.

From Nate's Web site
Something in My Teeth. Bremer. 2014. Dormant. 26"-5". 3-4 branches. 25 buds. ML. We are proud to release one of our most anticipated toothed cultivars to date. SIMT is has a melon base color with a dark coral-red overlay on the petals and a large melon edge of teeth. The overlay darkens just as the edge begins. An olive green throat is surrounded by a brighter gold area. The plant is very consistent for tooth production and has proven itself in a number of other gardens. SIMT is fertile both ways and is getting used heavily in a number of hybridizing programs. Truly outstanding and easily competes with the best toothed cultivars (SIMT is also hardy as heck). (Wedding in the Snow x Orange Angel).

Here's a look at the other cross I purchased from Ed.
B-25-a (New Tangerine Twist X Wild Child) X N-36 (So Beautiful To Me X Techny Spider)
(New Tangerine Twist X Wild Child)Is from a separate plant, one of three gift plants that Ed is trying out in his garden. That's why it has a different look from the plant in my previous post even tho its the same cross.

Hi Guys, I recently picked up some MAC lip liners and lipsticks and I was going to smoosh it all into one post for you all to see. However I realised just how lengthy that post would've ended up being so I today thought I would just do a MAC Lip Liner review with swatches, and leave the lipsticks for another day. I hope you enjoy getting a look at my new goodies!
I picked up three lip liners in the form of Spice, Dervish and Ruby Woo. I've been meaning to pick up Ruby Woo for a while, as it is one of my all-time favourite lipstick shade and my go to red lipstick. Initially I thought the lip liner may be just a limited edition pencil however I was really happy to find out that it was actually a permanent addition. It is a gorgeous vivid red shade with blue undertones, and so flattering on so many different skin tones. I am really happy that it has become permanent as I will be repurchasing once this one runs out. I have to warn you though, it keeps getting sold out so you have to keep an eye out for it. I couldn't find it online for you all.
Spice is another very popular shade, with it becoming even more popular after the 'Kylie Jenner' lip trend. It is described as a "mid-tone neutral nude." However I would say it is a quite a rosy toned brown neutral shade. I love this lip pencil, it is so creamy and so easy to apply and it really flatters my skin tone as it has the right amount of pink to make it a flattering nude for me. Out of the three this has become my most used as I find it to be such an everyday shade and easy to apply.
The third lip pencil I picked up is Dervish, which is described as a pinky mauve, and I would say it is quite true to that description. It is quite a nice neutral pink shade which again is very flattering on my skin tone. I initially wanted to pick up MAC Whirl (which is a bit darker) but after Kylie Jenner mentioned it was one of her go to lip colours, it is always sold out! I really like this shade however I do also have a gripe with it, it seems to be really dry compared to the others. It doesn't go on as easily as the other MAC lip liners do and it definitely isn't as creamy. I have another MAC lip liner (MAC Embrace Me) with which I have the same problem. I am going to keep it though as it still does do the job, just takes a little bit more effort.
My favourite of the lot is definitely Spice, although it is closely followed by Ruby Woo as that shade has a very special place in my heart. I am a little bit disappointed with the consistency of Dervish but I'm happy with the colour. MAC Lip Liners retail for £12.50 here. You can pick Dervish and Spice currently for £11.25 here (currently 10% off*).
I hope you all liked a look at my MAC lip liner review, I always find it insteresting to see how colours translate against different skintones so I think it is useful to post swatches. I will be bringing you a post soon of the three MAC lipsticks I picked up. One of them compliments Spice really really well so keep a look out for that. Until next time, take care. Tanzina x

This delightful photograph and descriptive caption are but one example of documentary evidence that have been gathered in an ongoing research project at Vineberg & Fulton that serves to collect paint color references of early Nova Scotia in a database used for identifying color palettes and related paint history for different periods and corners of the province.
Simeon Perkins Diary, August 17, 1790
Photograph captions, diaries, newspapers, account books, and travel writings are among a wide range of resources that have been tapped for insight into this incredibly rich area of study. We invite your assistance in this huge undertaking. If you know of any pre-1905 paint color references, we encourage you to contact us so that we might add to our growing database.

ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) is a collection of software components providing a programmatic interface to access the data sources from client applications. ADO acts as a layer to access any data store in a generic way from the application code. It eliminates the need to possess the knowledge of database implementation and reduces the complexity of dealing with the low level code needed to handle the data.
Released in 1996, activeX data object (ADO) originated from the concept of RDO (remote data object) and DAO (data access object). One of the constituents of MDAC (Microsoft data access components), ADO and other MDAC constituents provides a framework of components used by client applications to access SQL, semi-structured and legacy data stores.
ADO.NET is an advanced data access technology designed to work in the .NET environment and is based on the disconnected model for data access. While ADO uses COM (Component Object Model) technology for providing data access service from unmanaged code, ADO.NET depends on managed providers of the CLR (Common Language Runtime) of the .NET framework.
ADO uses an OLEDB provider for connecting to the data sources and accessing data. OLEDB is a component based programmatic interface provided to interact with different data sources. These data sources can be both relational and non-relational databases such as object databases, web pages, spreadsheets or e-mail messages. Prior to OLEDB and ADO, ODBC (open database connectivity) was the popular model used in applications across platforms.
The object model of ADO contains four collections of twelve objects. The different collections are fields, properties, parameters and errors. Each collection consists of the following twelve objects:
ADO 2.8 is the latest version and has the following features:

There are very few things that draw me like a moth to a flame like the smell of smoked meat. I've been known to wander around the neighborhood, my nose in the air, tracking the smell of cooking meat as it wafts on the breeze until I locate the source of the intoxicating aroma. Even my dogs start looking at me askance as we cross streets willy-nilly, though their puzzlement is likely a fraction of the muttering from other pedestrians I'd occasionally (and even literally) run into.
Fresh pork belly.
Bacon was high on the list of favorite smoked meats, and I'd sampled all kinds from Trader Joe's to Gartner's, and quizzed friends on their favorite sources. Then Dave found a smoker on Craigslist and got a yen to try making it himself, with, yes, lots of encouragement from me. That first batch, one slab weighing five pounds, was a smashing success, earning accolades from family and friends alike. Which, of course, encouraged him to make more, increasing the amount each time.
The experience of working with the smoker, and the resulting briskets, ribs (flat and rolled) and smoked albacore has begun pulling him away from briquets and into the realm of wood. He's now got sources for cherry, apple, hickory, oak and maple, with bags of same stashed alongside the smoker in the garage.
Cured belly ready for the smoker.
Today's batch of bacon—briquets providing the primary heat source, with chunks of dry apple wood soaked in water providing the smoke—was the biggest yet. Two full bellies weighing just shy of twenty pounds total, cured for a week in the fridge (details here) then smoked for a little over three hours. Which resulted in around 16 1/2 lbs. of finished bacon. Once they cool down, we'll slice them into one-pound chunks, then throw them in zip-lock freezer bags, except for a bit we may need for a completely homemade BLT or perhaps some carbonara.
Seriously, if you've been thinking about making your own bacon and you can get your hands on a smoker (I repeat: Craigslist), this is so easy to do and, as long as you follow the directions for the curing, a complete cakewalk. Your family and friends will thank you!

Jason Dale named new Executive Director, Automotive Business School of Canada
February 07, 2018
The Board of Directors of the Automotive Business School of Canada (ABSC) is pleased to announce Jason Dale as its new Executive Director.
The appointment follows a national search for an experienced automotive and academic professional to lead the ABSC – Canada's national educational organization dedicated to training the next generation of leaders and managers in automotive business.
Dale brings more than 20 years of automotive management experience across the automotive sector. Most recently General Manager of Pfaff Volkswagen, his career includes progressively responsible leadership positions with Chrysler, BMW (Quinn Automotive Group) and Pfaff in new and pre-owned sales and operations, leasing, parts and service.
Dale has personal experience with the ABSC as a part-time faculty member in the Automotive Dealership Management (AUDM) graduate certificate program since 2015. He is also a graduate of the program.
"This combination of industry connections and academic experience is exactly what we were seeking for this important leadership position," says Georgian College President and CEO Dr. MaryLynn West-Moynes. "Jason has built a well-deserved industry reputation for leading successful teams and providing exemplary customer service and will bring these important abilities in support of our students and partners. As a key member of faculty, he is already an ambassador for the ABSC, Georgian and our students."
Dale will be Georgian's point of contact for the ABSC Board of Directors and for industry partners, including the Canadian Automobile Dealers Association, Automotive Industries Association of Canada, Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council (OMVIC) and others across the country. He will lead full- and part-time ABSC academic programming with a dedicated team of faculty and staff, and be responsible for the continuing success of the annual Georgian College Auto Show.
"I am thrilled to be joining the team at Georgian College to bring my years of industry experience to contribute to the continued success of the Automotive Business School of Canada," says Dale.

T-Mobile will apparently be selling an Android-based home phone system and some sort of Android tablet device next year, according to "confidential documents" obtained by the New York Times.
T-Mobile wouldn't comment on the supposed offerings but admitted that "several devices based on Android" are currently in development.
According to the New York Times:
T-Mobile plans to sell a home phone early next year and soon after a tablet computer, both running Android, according to confidential documents obtained from one of the company's partners. The phone will plug into a docking station and come with another device that handles data synchronization as it recharges the phone's battery.
The home phone sounds mildly interesting, while the tablet computer is much more intriguing assuming it could be taken outside the house and used anywhere you can get a T-Mobile signal. Apparently it'll have a 7-inch touch screen and "would handle basic computing jobs like checking the weather or managing data across a variety of devices in the home." Again, let's hope you can throw this thing in your bag and take it on a train.
Further details like pricing and availability are non-existent so far, but this is another good sign that the Android platform is continuing to expand.

It started with the pigweed that came up in the rose pot on the edge of my terrace. I didn't know it was pigweed (and even "pigweed" is problematic since the common name belongs to more than one plant). But eventually I whittled down the rose-invader's ID to Amaranthus retroflexus, and that started me thinking. Amaranth. Aztecs. Ancient grain.
Well, yes. We all know the stately ornamental plant. Statuesque, with rich color, and long tresses of flowers that yield showers of minute seeds – the pseudo-grain of old, a nutritional powerhouse.
Now regard the sprawling green weed squeezing the roots of my Abraham Darby.
At the time I spotted this weed my interest in foraging was still in its infancy, but my desire to learn about new foods was strong. I started reading. West Indian callaloo? – a blanket term which includes the weedy Amaranths. Huh. And I remembered morogo – a comfort-food stew based on garden weeds – that my second mother, Tipsy Titoti, makes in Cape Town.
So I cooked and ate my pigweed.
I never looked back.
But I did look up. To the pots that are situated on the silvertop above our apartment, and where there is space to grow some vegetables, a blueberry, Cape gooseberries, salad leaves, and the occasional pumpkin. And pigweed? I headed straight up there and shook my pigweed seed heads about. They grew. I harvested. Cutting re-cutting their bountiful stalks.
Soon, I added lamb's quarters (Chenopodium album and spp.) to my weed menu. In summer every year, with pigweed, it tops a southern French-style tart I bake. This year, I learned that quickweed (it grows so damn fast) or gallant soldiers (Galinsoga parviflora) is an excellent leafy green, too, and tossed it with lemony tagliatelle. I had hated the stuff, which was constantly clogging my tomato pots, ripping up mats of soil whenever I weeded it out. Raw, it tastes like snap peas; cooked, much like Swiss chard.
Recently, I gathered enough of these three vegetables and some handfuls of male pumpkin flowers – that's a whole other story: male flowers: what are they good for? – to cook down into a tender mound destined to feed 60 people. I mixed in some ramp leaf oil that I made last spring, some preserved lemon and powdered sumac, and stuffed the filling into dozens and dozens of phyllo triangles as a snack for a launch party for my new book, in which weeds feature, amongst the other flora of New York and my terrace. I asked my publishers to print some menus for the party.
"Don't mention the pigweed!" I was exorted, "No one will eat it!" So didn't. Miffed, I listed only the lamb's quarter, and snoot-appeal ramps.
And guess what? The phyllo stuffed with weeds disappeared within minutes, an hour ahead of the pork rillettes and the avocado cream. There weren't even any crumbs left. Poof.
You could argue that anyone would eat anything folded into a buttery sheet of crispy pastry. Cucumber beetles, even.
But I say it's because these weeds taste good.
And it's time to take the pig out that weed. This is a vegetable that deserves a name with respect.
Personally, I vote for "garden Amaranth."
Do you have a better name for pigweed? Post it in the comments below for a chance to win a copy of 66 Square Feet – A Delicious Life .
Marie Viljoen blogs daily about gardening, foraging and eating. She teaches at The Brooklyn Botanic Garden and writes for magazines and newspapers about plants and the people who eat them.
Her new book is 66 Square Feet – A Delicious Life (Stewart, Tabori and Chang), inspired by the author's blog, named after the size of the author's tiny terrace

"Who's that over there on the throne?"
Bernard Cornwell, who is, according to my blog statistics, the name to tag for almost unimited page views, has announced two books coming out soonest. Why am I reminded of the Simpsons' Captain (to paraphrase) "'Tis no man, 'tis a remorseless writing machine, arr."
Well, I'm, how can I put it? A little 'suspicious' of a writer like him who churns books out at the rate of knots he does. Just seems too quick, going from the Tweets/posts/time other writers say their books take, for each book to truly have had his full attention at the time of writing. Seems like his diary might go something like "got up, wrote a book, had breakfast, messed about, wrote another book, messed about, went to bed."
If I'm being charitable and imagining another, a different scenario, I would say he may well have (at least) two on the go the whole time. But for me, that's one too many. As I've mentioned/mused before, I'd guess he feeds his markets with (at least) one new book a year. Markets? Sharpe, Warrior Chronicles, other. Like I said, 'machine', and who wants a book written by a machine? The Pagan Lord was clearly written by a machine. One that hadn't been updated to Grammar 2.0, the version that doesn't allow sentences and/or paragraphs to start with 'and.'
Anyway, calming pills having been taken…and (!) we see BC has a book, a non-fiction book no less, about Waterloo coming out on the 11th September. About the
1974 Eurovison winning song, the history of the railway station battle of Waterloo in 1815. The blurb runs thusly:
'Some battles change nothing. Waterloo changed almost everything.' Bestselling author Bernard Cornwall is celebrated for his ability to bring history to life. Here, in his first work of non-fiction, he has written the true story of the epic battle of Waterloo – a momentous turning point in European history – a tale of one campaign, four days and three armies. He focuses on what it was like to be fighting in that long battle, whether officer or private, whether British, Prussian or French; he makes you feel you are present at the scene. The combination of his vivid, gripping style and detailed historical research make this, his first non-fiction book, the number one book for the upcoming 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. It is a magnificent story. There was heroism on both sides, tragedy too and much misery. Bernard Cornwell brings those combatants back to life, using their memories to recreate what it must have been like to fight in one of the most ghastly battles of history. It was given extra piquancy because all of Europe reckoned that the two greatest soldiers of the age were Napoleon and Wellington, yet the two had never faced each other in battle. Both were acutely aware of that, and aware that history would judge them by the result. In the end it was a victory for Wellington, but when he saw the casualty lists he wept openly. 'I pray to God,' he said, 'I have fought my last battle.' He had, and it is a story for the ages.
It could actually be worth a read. But I think I'll leave it until prices have settled down a little, or look for it second-hand. as Waterloo and that era, has never been of particular interest to me.
The other however, is of more immediate interest to me, being the continuation, number 8 in fact, of that there The Warrior Chronicles.
Interesting that they've put a dummy cover up, a place-holder, if you will, instead of leaving the space blank until they actually do have the final(ish) cover done, as they did if I remember rightly with The Pagan Lord. Although, even that (the picture put up before launch) on Amazon, wasn't the final version. Compare and contrast, if you have the hardback TPL.
What actually makes me laugh with this, is the 'may contain nuts' on a packet of peanuts-type warning that this may not be the actual final cover. "Oh, really?!" Clearly, the previous titles in this particular (cover style) incarnation of The Warrior Chronicles would at least suggest a picture as well as type, but that warning seems almost to be suggesting that some people might in some way feel short-changed, if there wasn't also a picture on there. I'm laughing too, because having worked in the advertising business, where we sometimes did mock-ups like that, I can see, if it were our firm looking after this, the final cover coming back from the printer still with Final Cover Coming Soon, slap-dab in the middle! It happens, let me assure you. Primarily when everyone assumes that someone else will sort it before it goes off to the printer and the printer doesn't see checking the thing or warning of possible mistakes, as any of his business. Assumption is always the mother of all f.ups. It's the law.
Waterloo comes out 11th September and you can order/pre-order from Amazon (UK) or Amazon (US) Does only seem to be available to order on Kindle as yet.
The Empty Throne comes out 23rd October on Amazon (US) again, does only seem to be available for order on Kindle as yet. Or Amazon (UK)
Distant thunder
Those BC books are for sale later in 2014, but if you want to really plan ahead, try this on for size:
A new book in Anthony Riches epic Empire series, is listed now on Amazon – for release 5th March 2015! So time to order it on Amazon, then time to forget you've done so and order a signed one on Goldsboro and end up with two. D'oh!
Anyway, it will (though as release date is just under a year away and things could change) be called Thunder of the Gods. Good title, as Shakespeare once said. As you might guess, there isn't a cover sorted as yet. A quick count up from my bookshelf tells me it will be number…eight in the Empire series.
I haven't seen mention of this new one on Anthony's Facebook page, or website (though that does seem to be lagging a little behind). It's probably because he is, along with Ben Kane and Russ Whitfield, involved in preparations for, and taking part in, The Romani Walk II. It is (click on the link for more information) a walk in full Roman kit, in aid of Medicine sans Frontiers and Combat Stress, from Capua to the forum in Rome, where they will fight a series of lions and tigers before the survivor earns their freedom. Except for the bit about fighting the lions and tigers and earning their freedom.
Here is, as far as I can tell, the route of this new Romani Walk. Well, what Apple Maps suggests would be the best route anyway (click to enlarge) or if you have Apple maps, click here:
Whilst Apple suggests walking time is just 1 day and 14 hours, it doesn't actually give the option for seeing how long it would take in full Roman military gear. I'm guessing a bit longer. I think that the 1 day etc, is if you did it in one go, without stopping at all (and not in Roman gear). I don't know how long they plan to spend on the walk, but I'd guess the Scriptores Tres will probably take about a week. There's a film crew going along as well, so expect to see some sort of documentary up somewhere, TV or on-line, in the not too distant future. Should be fun.
I wasn't looking for a new AR book (honest, I don't just trawl Amazon all day) it just popped up in the 'you might like' part of my Amazon page. I'm not going to pre-order it this time. Not because I would forget (which I would) but in protest at Amazon removing the free Super Saver delivery to Denmark! It'll soon have Amazon on their knees, just you wait and see!
Pre-order Thunder of the Gods on Amazon (UK)
Matt Hilton
I've been following a thriller writer called Matt Hilton on Twitter and so decided to test the waters by getting hold of his first book in his Joe Hunter series. As far as I can tell, he released the ninth in the series in January and is on the go with number ten. If you're wondering where on earth I'm getting all the money from to buy so many books and 'test the waters', relax. I search for second-hand ones. I have a few places I check and I've had good results. This Matt Hilton one, I've gone for off Play.com's second-hand section. They do 'free' delivery to Denmark as well, so as Amazon have stopped delivering for free (if you ordered over £25) I'm probably going to use them a lot more in the future.
What I can do, is when I get a book delivered from a place, I can let you know how the service and condition is/was. Fair enough? Most of the books I've had second hand so far, have been in excellent nick. Only a bunch of paperbacks I got through Amazon's secondhand network didn't live up to their 'good or very good' claims. Otherwise, the hardbacks I've gone for have been surprisingly tip-top in their condition. Plus, I can get stuff delivered out here in Denmark, from the UK, cheaper than it would cost me to get the bus, return, into town (Aarhus). So, suddenly the cost looks a lot more reasonable.
Rebel Rebel
One I thoroughly enjoyed a while back, was Feud by Derek Birks. Feud is the first of his Rebels and Brothers series, set during The Wars of The Roses (1455-ish – 1487-ish). Again, not a period I know an awful lot about, but it does look like I'm about to be a whole lot 'klogere', as I now say here in Denmark, cleverer as you would probably say wherever you are. This is because Derek is well under way with #3 in his series, this time to be called Kingdom of Rebels. He mentions on Twitter that the is currently screaming (and looking at previous posts where he describes the bath-loads of blood being spilled so far, I use that word advisedly) past the 117,000 words on that there third book. I have the first two on Kindle and have so far only read the first one – not through any intention, just that it hasn't reached the top of the electronic pile as yet. Though I am looking forward tremendously to when it does. The links (if you click on the covers, will take you to the paperback versions, both are, as I say, available on Amazon's Kindle service – should you be lucky enough to live somewhere where they allow you to download a Kindle version…but that's another story.
You can follow Derek – and get your own blood-soaked updates – on Twitter here.
