Patna: Estranged NDA partner, JD(U) on Thursday took a dig at former Bihar chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi for his anti-Advani comments saying he is acting like a "Kalyugi" child out to abuse parents.
Also Read: Advaniji has failed to gauge public mood: Sushil Kumar Modi
"He is acting like a Kalyugi child out to abuse parents," JD(U) leader in the Rajya Sabha Shivanand Tiwari told reacting to Sushil Modi` comment that the veteran BJP leader has failed to gauge public mood in favour of Narendra Modi.
Everybody knows that BJP rose from a party of two MPs to 182 MPs due to Advaniji and today he is being "insulted" by people like Sushil Modi, Tiwari said.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had led JD(U) to part company with BJP on June 16 this year over elevation of Narendra Modi as party campaign committee chief.
Criticising Sushil Modi for comments on Advani, JD(U) Bihar unit President Bashist Narayan Singh said "do anybody isolate father-mother from oneself."
State party spokesmen Sanjay Singh and Rajeev Ranjan Prasad also hit at Sushil Modi describing him as "opportunist."
"For a long time he has been a disciple of LK Advani and now praising Narendra Modi," Sanjay Singh said.
Prasad claimed Sushil Modi`s "new found" love for Narendra Modi with whom he always maintained distance till he was in NDA has even "surprised" state BJP workers.

Hi friends! Today we are going to look at a product that you may want to try for enhancing your stamped cards: Alcohol markers. These have been the darling of the stamp world for a few years because you can get a beautiful blended effect and also because you can spend a long time on an image to get it just perfect. Coloring is very relaxing. I have spent as much as an hour coloring a really detailed image with markers. Because of that I would tend to stamp out a few images and color them while I was watching TV I the evening or while my kids were coloring. Today we are going to color an easy design perfect for a Christmas card.
During the demo you will be able to see how the markers blend, how to fix mistakes and learn tips for getting good results from your markers. The stamps I am using are from our sponsor Art Neko, be sure to mention TheFrugalCrafter if you order to get 10% off your order or free shipping on orders over $50, whatever discount is greater!
- Stamps: Star Sprinkling Angel, Snowflakes (some of these stamps are found in larger Christmas sets from ArtNeko, look at those before buying to see if you want the other stamps in the kits because it brings down the individual stamp price.)
- Dye ink: Memento
- Distress ink (Tumbled Glass, Vintage Photo, Wild Honey)
- Cardstock: Neenah (white) brown, maroon
- 6″ paper doily
- Distress ink in vintage photo, tumbled glass, wild honey
- Gelly Roll Stardust pen
- ribbon & buttons
- Alcohol based markers (Copic, Promarker, Sharpie, Bic Markit, Prismacolor, Spectrum Noir, Tria or others)
* OR you can use watercolor markers but be sure to stamp with Archival ink so it does not smear. Also, if using watercolor markers you can't go over the paper as much as we do with alcohol markers.
If you are thinking of trying alcohol ink markers I urge you to see if you can borrow some from a friend before deciding to invest. Also expect a learning curve. I have not used mine in a while and I was a bit out of practice. Also I am fond of quick projects so I don't often reach for my markers but on the other hand there is something really relaxing about spending an hour coloring an image. One way to get started is to buy a 36 pack of Bic Markits or Sharpies then a few really light shades of some art markers so you can blend and get a range of shades. Below is a playlist of many alcohol marker techniques that you might find helpful:
I was not intending to cover alcohol ink markers in stamp school but so many of you asked me if I would so I hope that gave you a good foundation on them. So, what do you think? Do you use alcohol markers? What do you like about them? Do you have any tips for beginners? Leave that info in the comments below and help your fellow stampers out. Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!

text: From Taft on the PDXTesla Google group today: "Seaside Oregon Outlet mall Supercharger opens in 2 weeks! Just booked a hotel in the area and the hotel told me about it. I called the mall and made the girl go outside and describe what they look like to verify. Her exact description was "So they have 8 big white things that look kinda like a clean gas pump that say Tesla at the top. Next to it is a fenced in super voltage thing that took a couple of weeks to install. They are covered in plastic to keep them clean until they open" I didn't even see a permit pulled for it......Did I miss something? She also said one was going south along the coast but did not know for sure where." I did some digging and it looks like Clatsop County issued a permit to JJ Electric Service on May 31, 2016 for a "Car Charging station" at the correct address. http://www.co.clatsop.or.us/sites/default/files/fileattachments/building_codes/page/469/permits_may_2016.pdf Very interesting.

It's weird because I've never liked buying digital music. There's something about owning a physical copy of something that gives me a sense of security. If my computer ever goes kapoot, I have all my CDs saving my music. Yeah, you can burn them yourself, but something is nice about having the authentic cover and the booklet and all that.
I'm getting sidetracked. Here's a laydown of how I viewed Steam and iTunes:
- Product is cheaper than buying the physical copy
In every online music store, buying the tracks is a few dollars cheaper than buying the CD. Steam has killer deals all the time so you can almost always get the game you want for a lower price than the hard copy, if you don't mind waiting a little while.
- Product can only be used in one program
Unfortunately, this is the case with both. It's a much, much larger problem with iTunes since music files have a range of uses and there are dozens of other media playing applications that could make use of them. Steam is a little less of a deal since you don't necessarily have many other choices.
- Product must be registered online before being used
Yup, both have this in common. You can't play games or listen to music until you've registered them. This is actually more of a deal for Steam than it is for iTunes.
- Product is credited to your account, meaning you can re-download whenever you want
Does iTunes have this? I don't think so. See, with iTunes, you are paying for security, but it's not your security. It's Apple's, or the music industry's. You could buy $5000 worth of music on your account, your hard drive crashes, and Apple just says "tough luck." With Steam, I've already bought several hundred dollars worth of games, and if my hard drive ever explodes, I'm calm-cool-collect, cause it's all in the cloud.
Guess who has this? Amazon. Yes, if Amazon keeps track of all the MP3s you buy and let's you re-download them whenever you want, wherever you want. This is just one more reason people should use Amazon instead of iTunes.
However, I feel like I should add this. One reason I hadn't accounted for before choosing Steam:
- The Program sucks
This is most definitely true for both, but probably more for Steam, as much as I hate to admit it. I hate iTunes because it's slow, intrusive, and resource intesive. But it does what it's meant to do (play music/videos). Steam has continually screwed me over when it comes to games being unplayable or not being able to connect me to a game. It's definitely something to take into consideration, and I'm damn well hoping that Valve puts on their big kid boots and starts actually making changes.
- Apple: If you want to really get a good music store, give everyone a license to the songs they buy, so they can download them anywhere, anytime on authorized devices.
- Valve: If you fixed your sucky client, you'd have the best system ever. In anything. Ever. Do it. Now.
PS - If you wonder why there's been so many whitespaces in my posts, it's not because I'm trying to add drama. Apparently both Blogpress and Zoundry go crazy with the returns.

Cold Reign (Jane Yellowrock #11)
Faith Hunter
350 pages
Published May 2nd 2017 by Ace
Edition Language: English
Series:Jane Yellowrock #11
BLURB: Jane Yellowrock is a shape-shifting skinwalker…and the woman rogue vampires fear most. Jane walks softly and carries a big stake to keep the peace in New Orleans, all part of her job as official enforcer to Leo Pellisier, Master of the City. But Leo's reign is being threatened by a visit from a delegation of ancient European vampires seeking to expand their dominions.But there's another danger to the city. When she hears reports of revenant vampires, loose in NOLA and out for blood, Jane goes to put them down—and discovers there's something unusual about these revenants. They never should have risen.Jane must test her strength against a deadly, unnatural magic beyond human understanding, and a ruthless cadre of near-immortals whose thirst for power knows no bounds…
My shelves: fantasia-urbana, magia, series-favoritas, shapeshifters, shifter_puma, vamp-hunter, vampiros, witches
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
There are few, very few, books that let me at 'squeeee level'. Well, cough, this is one of them.
In Jane Yellowrock's New Orleans, the European Vamps have finally arrived.
(well, funny factor here - Anita Blake old times nostalgia aside- they really arrived). As you can expect, bad-bad things occur almost simultaneously. There is a ton of action-packed scenes.
I'm really impresed when authors can show they thought their books way ahead; and the argumental arcs converged to leave you impressed.
1) Cherokee rituals.
2) Magiks, and angels, and scheming vampires, onorios, primos, emperors, and witches, and dragons, and Beast, and storms and rain.
3) And Alex and Eli:
I looked out into the living room. "I was thinking you could find and replace the fireplaces with gas ones."
"No. Wood," Alex said. "That way, when the zombie apocalypse comes we can have wood fire for heating and cooking."
"When the apocalypse comes," Eli corrected, "we'll grab gobags and head for the hills. Some little holler Janie tells us about."
3) Jane hit RickyBo.
4) Jane defends her love.
I dropped my voice, so low even a wereleopard had to tilt his head to hear. "Understand this, you foul piece of scum. You and I are done. I'm with George Dumas," I said, using his real name to make sure there could be no confusion. "You touch my Bruiser and I'll take your head so fast you'll still be blinking as you fall in two. Anything happens to my Bruiser by an outside force or person, and I'll take your head. My Bruiser disappears, and I'll take your head. He stubs his toe and I'll make you pay. Are we clear?"
Yeah, our Jane is a big softie.
I slid my arms over his shoulders and pulled myself into him. The kiss deepened and I sighed into his mouth. When he pulled away, we were both breathing harder, and Bruiser was still smiling, a strange light in his eyes. He said, "If your bed weren't bloody I would have peeled your clothes away and taken you right now."
"If the floor wasn't bloody I'd have taken you on the floor."
Bruiser spluttered with laughter and the moment was broken, though the sweetness remained as he dropped his head and laughed into my shoulder. His hold around me eased. "And that, my darling War Woman, is why you have my heart."
-->But Still, some serious issues to worry about it: all the Beast doing it seems ...SPOILER--->meaning, all that DNA that Beast had incorporated into Jane, as vamps, and weres, and arcenciel? and other beasties that worry me b/c it changes more and more our Jane. And b/c what ha ppen with Immanuel... and think to much changes can't be good <---SPOILER/[meaning, all that DNA that Beast had incorporated into Jane, as vamps, and weres, and arcenciel? and other beasties that worry me b/c it changes more and more our Jane. And b/c what ha ppen with Immanuel... and think to much changes can't be good (hide spoiler)]
The good thing : the healings and that she can forgive helself -a tough decition for many.
The not-good: ¿Hasta cuándo, Rick?? He is worst that the annoying gum in your shoe. Mrs. Hunter, was the song necesary???? UGH_ Let go. /to Africa or someplace far away.
Time doesn't heal all emotional wounds. Often they scar over, leaving abnormal psychic tissue, faulty emotional patterns, sometimes with an absence of sensation at all. That was how I felt about Rick. Scarred and empty.
But, above all, happy with this book :)

It may be wishful thinking but I can feel the seasons changing. There's a chill in the air when I walk out of work each night and I love it. With the change in weather {I looked at the forecast as I was typing this and we'll be back in the 90's on Sunday - I knew it was wishful thinking}, I can't help but think about the changes that have occurred and will continue to occur over the next few months. This year alone has been full of changes - some good and some not so good. I knew 2015 was going to be a huge year for me and my fiancé. But I never imagined what God had in store for us.
We started out the year living with his parents in their guest bedroom and the majority of our belongings were in storage. Then my fiancé was offered the highest volume store in Southern California, which has turned out to be a blessing and a curse. We had to move in with my parents at that point because Stephen was now commuting to San Diego and I had accepted a job in Temecula. Then April rolled around and we starting "looking" at houses online. We didn't realize how quickly we'd actually end up purchasing. We made one offer on a house and they accepted our offer and that was that. It was very much meant to be and in line with God's plan for us. Everything fell into place perfectly. We moved in and shortly after we brought Vader home. I struggled with him at first because I want my house to be perfect and it can't be with him running around. But Stephen reminded me that he is preparing us to be parents. When I thought about it that way I realized I had been wrong. He still isn't allowed in our bed or on our couch. But he has four beds of his own, toys, treats and he's even taken over one of Stephen's blankets. He's definitely spoiled but he's a very good dog. We got lucky with him. And now I can't imagine coming home and not seeing him jumping up and down with excitement. We just need to keep socializing him so he'll feel more comfortable around other dogs.
Now it's September and I'm living my last full month as a single woman. {When I reminded Stephen of this he replied, "But I'm not single."} For so long I was told to not put your boyfriends before your family and friends...but now Stephen will no longer just be my boyfriend or my fiancé, he will be my husband. From this point forward, he will come first no matter what.
I love that we decided to get married in the fall. We both love fall and the change of colors {the little bit that we get here in Southern California}. I feel like it's the perfect way to start our new lives together as a married couple. Here's to changing seasons!

The revolt against Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi widened significantly just over four weeks ago when NATO, including the United States, launched airstrikes against government ground forces that were quickly rolling over the rebels.
The rebels' headquarters city of Benghazi is currently safe and secure, but several rebel-held towns farther west are being pounded unmercifully by government rocket and artillery fire and, it is said, cluster bombs at great cost to the civilian populations.
Seeking to up the pressure on Gadhafi's inner circle, the United Nations' top human-rights official, Navi Pillay, suggested that top government officials could be hauled before the International Criminal Court to face war-crimes trials for the indiscriminate shelling.
There are signs the government's resolve may be weakening. In an interview with the Western press, Libyan Foreign Minister Abdul-Ati al-Obeidi has proposed a cease-fire with free U.N.-supervised elections at the end of six months.
Previous attempts at cease-fires have broken down over the rebels' insistence — and NATO's — that as part of any agreement Gadhafi had to go. Now, however, al-Obeidi says that whether Gadhafi stays or goes is up for discussion: "All options will be on the table."
Meanwhile, frustrated by the military and political stalemates, the key NATO powers are widening the war again, slightly but significantly. Britain has sent 20 senior military officers to advise the rebels. Italy is sending 10 and France the same. Moreover, the French have pledged to step up the tempo of airstrikes.
The expanded role is being taken under the U.N. resolution that authorizes all necessary measures to protect the civilian population and civilian areas. A French diplomat insisted to the Associated Press that advisers sent by his country are not teaching weapons skills but logistics and organization, although from a military standpoint it's hard to see how these skills are unrelated.
The Obama administration has been adamant that U.S. combat troops will not set foot in Libya, but the position on U.S. advisers is less clear. It is believed that U.S. covert operatives are already there. And of course we have now sent our military's deadly unmanned drones into the fray.
The administration did say it would provide the rebels with$25 million in "nonlethal" assistance — radios, medical supplies, uniforms, protective gear and the like. Meanwhile, further provision of vehicles, weapons and ammunition is under discussion.
The rebels have been equally adamant that they don't want foreign ground troops helping them, but rebel spokesman Mustafa Gheirani told AP that foreign troops to escort and protect humanitarian aid "might be acceptable."
And thus do wars widen.

The human world has always been changing, but the pace of change seems to have picked up dramatically in the last decade or two, with no stability visible on even long-range scanners. Rapid change is obvious in all of the technological, political, business and social fields, and there are changes in our environment and ecosystem that are probably caused by this increasing human activity.The works of Satyabhama Majhi says everything about this changes. She also conceptualize fictional entities. She imagine structures, and make them. mental space includes many imaginary items. She uses shared mechanisms for storing abstract knowledge, and build on these abstractions to develop and share more abstractions works of art.But there are other limitations to inventiveness. No one could have imagined most of today's technologies in the 10th century because even the basic building blocks for the concepts didn't exist then..After vewing her work one can say ,it is a real artistic expression ,how everything is changing with increase of populations.She is brilliant at handelling it into her canvas and her work gives a strong message .Absolutely it is rare to find such talent now a days.

Have been doing the LC for a couple of months and love this site! Just wondering if you had considered breaking down the serving size into the actual measurement? So for this BBQ Sauce is the 4.6 carbs per tsp, tbsp etc?? Thanks! :)
Monica 6/7/2015
---Reply posted by DJ on 6/7/2015Hi Monica, thanks for the kind words! There's a note at the base of the description that says a serving is 2 tablespoons. So, 1 tbsp. would be 2.3 net carbs and a tsp would be about 3/4 net carb. I hope this helps! :)
Hi BeaJay ... kinda? It really depends on the sauce, to be frank. There are many sauces that have no sugar, whatsoever ... and then there are many that are sickeningly sweet. This one DOES have some actual sugar in it, so it will caramelize ... but it'll also be a bit sweeter that it should be, considering the amount of actual sugar it contains. The rest of the sweetness comes from sucralose, which doesn't caramelize. For the most part, this should behave like a standard BBQ sauce, but not one which has a lot of sugar. It's NOT going to behave like something from Walden Farms, though. This will be much closer to what you're looking for ...
Will it caramelize on the grill like a sugar heavy one will? I used to buy one that's since been discontinued and all of the homemade ones I've tired so far just don't hold up to smoke and flame.
BeaJay 9/21/2014
Thanks, J.M.! :)
Unknown, (poster on July 28, 2014)look at the numbers again. It is hard to see the decimal point in red, but there are 5.93g carbs per serving, 4.6g net carbs per serving. (Not 46)
This recipe looks really good but wow am I reading that correctly that it has 46 carbs per serving? Way way too many for me.
unknown 7/28/2014
---Reply posted by Mary on 4/26/2015It has 4.6 grams of carbs, the period is hard to see.
Hi MOPrincess. Yep! Either of those will work. I might also suggest looking into yacon syrup. A bit of that mixed with other sweeteners REALLY works to replace the brown sugar taste, without adding any sugars. I hope this helps!
Sorry! I meant to say Hi!!! not Hat!!! lol!
MOPrincess 7/4/2014
Hat can I use in place of the brown sugar equivalent? I can't have anything with sugar in it (or I would have made my own brown sugar). Can I just use Splenda or Truvia in its place? Halp!!
Rita, you could just use a chili powder. Just a standard "chili powder". That should do it!
I just want to let you know I ????? your site! ! You are AMAZING! Also, Amy suggestions to replace the chile? I don't have this at our store? Thanks!
Rita 3/23/2014
Hi Unknown, I'm working on it. They started as a cute and fun idea, but I realize it makes things harder to read. The site gets better, every chance I have to work on it. Please be patient. I'm on the case! :)
Disappointed with this site...very difficult to read the "fancy" colors. Do not LIKE!
unknown 2/28/2014
Excellent Lisa! Thank you for sharing! I get comments about this sauce often on my Facebook page, but ... you're right. You're the first to post it on the actual recipe. Thank you for the vote! :)
Hi DJ! I already posted a picture and comment on your FB page, but figured I'd add a comment here so if anyone is looking for a good BBQ recipe they will know it's delicious!! I will make it again and again. I think I'll keep it on hand in my fridge as regular bbq sauce is so high in sugar but I just love it! Thanks again for yet another great recipe!

An embroidered pillowcase
I finished embroidering a pillowcase for Red Chief last week (he chose the pattern from my collection of thrifted transfers). This design was slightly more time-consuming than Tiger Lily's t-shirt, but I enjoyed doing it, and I'm looking forward to starting a new project. Every blank piece of clothing or linens around our house is suddenly tempting me to attack it with a needle or thread.
I've always loved the idea of redwork embroidery, so that's what I've been doing. The designs are very simple outlines—perfect for a beginner like me—and I like not having to change colors. Tiger Lily wants me to use more colors, though, or at least do all pink.

However eclectic your local boozer's become of late, its selection will ale in comparison to that of the Great British Beer Festival.
There are over 900 beers, ciders and perries to drool over at this annual beery blowout, held at Olympia from 9-13 August.
A who's who of the world's best breweries invites you to imbibe your way through an alphabet of brews — from London and UK stalwarts, through to uber rare cask beers from the States and Italy.
You can also expect: gallons of cider and perry for the apple curious; tutored tastings; live music; sack loads of pork scratchings; pub games; beer guru book signings; the sexy sweep of Olympia's roof.
Last year we ended up buying a vintage ash tray. In short: anything can happen.
The Great British Beer Festival 2016 is on at Olympia London, Hammersmith Road, Kensington, W14 8UX from 9-13 August (although 9 August is trade only). Tickets £11 (£9 for CAMRA members).

text: After the roaring success of Nicolas Jaars Space is only Noise album the fine curatorial heads at Circus Company HQ have enlisted 2 of their nearest, dearest and most talent co-conspirators for the first round of remix duties. Having built a cult following and peerless reputation for his remixes of everyone from Roy Ayers to Cassius, Pépé Bradock turns in no less than 3 versions of Too Many Kids Finding Rain in the Dust. The proceedings begin with his Blind Pig mix, an echoing tunnel of balkan strings and dusty samples connecting the lands of disco and hip hop to blinding effect. The Train Fantôme Poke follows and is certain to find its way into many a discerning DJ bag in the weeks and months to come, with its Mathew Herbert-esque syncopations and grinding industrial scrapes and psychedelic whispers. Dave Aju takes up the baton on the flip turning the albums title track into the kind of late 80s dance floor work out Martin Hannet would have been proud of, certain to appeal to fans of recent work by Matias Aguayo, Rebolledo and the Comeme camp.

So my last post I was saying how I thought the girls would be walking any day now. Well, I was right, at least for Kealie. The day after I made the post, here is what happened: Now we'll just have to see how long it takes Jozie to start walking. It won't be long for her either. She's standing forever on her own. Some days I just think she chooses not to walk, because crawling is easier!!! Hopefully she'll be right next to her sister soon!!!

Here I am!!!!!!!
Probably my most favorite picture of the girls together. You just see the bond they have already. They were 6 and 1/2 months old hereIt's been so long!!!!!!! There have been a couple of times when I've started posts, but just decided they were too long or stupid to even post!!! I don't even know where to begin. Jozie and Kealie are doing wonderful!!! They will be 11months a week from Monday. Crazy isn't it?!?!?! They are wearing helmets to round out their heads. They got those on at the beginning or middle of May and the docs say at least 3 months. I was very worried how they would handle wearing them all day every day, but they are doing really well. They don't even bother their own. I have seen a time or two one of the girls grab the other or slap at each others. But they just laugh about it! It's actually kind of nice them having them as they are walking along everything and even becoming brave and letting go of stuff every now and then. So the helmets are providing a little extra cushion for their falls. I guess once they come off it's going to be very nerve racking as they won't realize how bad those falls will hurt.
KealieLike I said they are both walking while holding on to whatever they can. They are even standing on their own for sometimes up to 30 seconds. Any day now they are going to take their first steps. I just know it!!! Kealie has her two bottom teeth, which she's had for like 3 months now. Jozie still has nothing. We thought they were coming in as there was some swelling and bad nights a few weeks back, and I thought I was feeling some teeth right under the skin, but that seems to have gone away. I guess she will get them whenever they are ready to pop out.
I LOVE MY BABY GIRLS!!! How can they not make me smile?!?!?!?Of course, I'm on summer vacation now. I have so enjoyed my first week with the girls. We actually moved Memorial Day Weekend. I will get some pictures of our NEW HOUSE and post them soon. The girls and I have just been hanging around home this week. Like I said, I'm loving every second of it and just can't get enough of them. They are so fun and funny! No matter what kind of day I'm having they can put a smile on my face!!!
The most precious girls EVER!Anyway, that's about all I can think of right now. Just thought I'd write a quick update! Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying your summer so far!!!!

The long overdue Saville Report
The publication of the Saville Report yesterday marked an end for many in Derry to years of waiting to be vindicated, for it to be clearly stated on the public record that the 14 protesters shot dead on 30 January 1972 were innocent and had been unlawfully killed. The publication yesterday was followed by a humble apology from David Cameron:
But what happened should never, ever have happened. The families of those who died should not have had to live with the pain and hurt of that day – and a lifetime of loss. Some members of our Armed Forces acted wrongly. The Government is ultimately responsible for the conduct of the Armed Forces. And for that, on behalf of the Government – and indeed our country – I am deeply sorry.
This is a significant admission of culpability on the part of the state in the actions on that date, and from the reception to the report and the state in Derry itself is a sign that it is one more step in the process of healing.
This report should also act a reminder to those of us who would condemn the actions of the IRA during that period. It is, of course, just to condemn those who took up arms against their fellow citizens, and the vindictiveness and the intransigence of those in the higher ranks of the IRA for many years, including the current leadership of Sinn Féin. And tribute must be paid to those leaders of nationalism in the SDLP, Gerry Fitt, John Hume, Seamus Mallon, Eddie McGrady, Mark Durkan and others, who consistently sought peaceful, constitutional and conciliatory approaches to settlement.
But in the context of Bloody Sunday, and perhaps more particularly of the Widgery Report which initially followed it, in which the army was exonerated, and accused of having "bordered on reckless", that so many young Roman Catholics in Northern Ireland felt so alienated from the institutions of the state, with such a report that embodied the arrogant attitude that the state could do no wrong. At this distance, we should at least be able to comprehend and appreciate the part the British Army played in escalating the division and conflict in the years of the Troubles.
But most importantly now, while acknowledging the hurt of the past, Northern Ireland needs to move on to governing itself effectively, and it is thankfully managing to do so most of the time given the context of events like this.

Or not
Great news from East Belfast, where the Alliance Party's Naomi Long has taken out First Minister and DUP leader Peter Robinson. Great to see an Alliance Party MP elected after 40 years, and 36 years after Stratton Mills, who had left after being elected from the Ulster Unionist Party, retired in 1974.
The Alliance are avowedly non-sectarian, though it has been difficult for them at times for them to maintain their identity. I look forward to seeing how they can shape themselves now on the Westminster stage. It is also a gain for the Liberal Democrats, with whom the Alliance are aligned.
Peter Robinson won his seat here in 1979, in a close three-way contest against the Ulster Unionist Party's William Craig and the Alliance Party's Oliver Napier, with less than a thousand votes separating the three candidates, and till tonight, it was considered a solidly safe seat for the DUP. As a hung parliament is likely, and the DUP will need someone to be able negotiate any arrangements, his leadership may well be on the line quite soon.
Well, ding dong, the witch is dead.
The Times/Ladbrokes seat predictor currently put the Conservatives six seats short of a majority. Suppose this prediction is accurate. It ignores a few details about Northern Ireland. They predict a seat for Sir Reg Empey, leader of the Ulster Unionist Party, standing in alliance with the Conservative Party, which really puts the those elected as Conservatives at 321. South Antrim should really have been coloured as blue as any Conservative predictions in Britain. They also predict a seat for Rodney Connor in Fermanagh–South Tyrone, who has pledged to take the Tory whip under a loose arrangement. Add to that then the four predicted Sinn Féin seats. By their abstention, they bring the figure required for a majority to 324, rather than the standard figure given of 326.
The Conservatives would then be only two seats short of a majority, and could very reasonably expect to form a government. But to be secure, to sure of not losing any confidence motion, especially if the predictions are a little high for the party, they could turn then to the eight predicted seats of the Democratic Unionist Party. They would most likely guarantee some measure of relief from the expected public sector cuts to Northern Ireland. It would be a major turn around in Peter Robinson's fortunes, whose position was in doubt only a few months ago. It would also consolidate the Conservative government's Unionist stance on issues of disagreement in Northern Ireland, which could potentially have repercussions for any further negotiations.

China Has Been Good to Mobile
As at the end of April, China had over 1.03 billion mobile subscribers, 1.1 percent more than in the previous month and up a hefty 14.4 percent compared to the year-ago period, according to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. This number also represented a user density of 73.6 percent of China's population.
Investing Insights: Will Sony Cash In on Apple's New iPhone?
Compare this with 283.76 million subscribers for fixed line services, which are 21.3 percent of the population but way behind mobile penetration.
Of the mobile group, 158.97 million used 3G services, representing 15.43 percent.
The country's mobile users have a penchant for texting, and sent 70.78 billion short messages, a daily average of 2.3 messages per phone number.
Clearly, mobile is the way to go in China.
Those numbers are certainly good for Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), as its Android OS is the smartphone software of choice, with a broad lead on Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS.
But as the market continues to grow rapidly, let's not forgot the nation's major carriers — China Mobile (NYSE:CHL), China Unicom (NYSE:CHU), and China Telecom (NYSE:CHA) — all of which have vast potential for growth in the world's most populous country.

…and some sorting cups to put them in!
Lil man has got to the stage where he needs more than just a couple of toys and he'll be happy! He needs stimulation otherwise "Captain Destruction" comes a knocking!!
He has a shape sorter, he also has many coloured bricks so I thought of a colour sorter!
However, rather than just sorting the coloured bricks into piles, how about a corresponding coloured container!
I know he is young yet to do it himself but can't hurt to play, even if its just putting in bricks and taking them out again! He'll love it either way!
The cups already have his seal of approval! He couldn't wait for Mummy to finish her photographs!
They are just a simple single crochet (double crochet -UK) bowl/cup.
I used 2 strands of 4 Seasons – stallion 8 ply (love this yarn, soft, workable and bright colours!) – and a 5mm crochet hook.
The base came out as 8.5cm diameter and height of the side as 4.5cm. This can be whatever you want it to be by changing yarn, hook and of course adding/taking away stitches at the base and rows on the sides.
They were very quick to make, a great stash buster and bright and playful to look at!
Happy Crafting! 💟
