The house settled back in awed silence, as Labouchère continued his devastating and largely accurate account of what had happened, and ended with stating that in his opinion, 'The government wish to hush this matter up'. Labouchère refused to accept the Attorney General's defence of Salisbury, saying that he didn't believe either him or the Prime Minister. The speaker of the house warned Labouchère on two occasions, and finally rose and called Labouchère to order, suspending him from the Commons for a week.
Therefore, I think, Sir, it is not too much to ask whether the police authorities ought not to render us more security for life and property in what may now be fairly termed part of London itself; for since this most cowardly and atrocious system of Thuggee has prevailed, we have no more protection, if so much, than our forefathers had on Hounslow-heath a hundred years ago In conclusion, I wish to say that the present police force apparently keep as good watch as they can over this neighbourhood.
In other words, no crime had been reported. Abberline soon discovered that this wasn't just an isolated incident: the more reports he saw, the more cover-ups of crimes he discovered. He also found that local residents had such little faith in or respect for the police that a large percentage of them did not bother to report offences such as theft or pickpocketing anyway. How could he, as an aspiring police officer, account for and deal with crimes that were either swept under the carpet or never reported?

This was pretty funny, right up to the moment where (Democratic) Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora threatened reporter Henry Gomez's wife.
The background is as follows: Dimora is being investigated as part of a corruption probe* – yes, I know, corruption in Cuyahoga county; how shocking – and Dimora is a bit upset about the way Gomez (and his paper the Plain Dealer) is covering the investigation. So Dimora ups and accuses Gomez and his paper of not reporting a particular detail of the investigation: to wit, that Ohio Auditor (and Republican candidate for Lt. Governor) Mary Taylor had not released two years' worth of audits. Only problem is, this had been reported – including a quote from, guess who? that right, Jim Dimora – and when Gomez told Dimora about this, Dimora called Gomez a liar.
So far, so funny. Now here's the unfunny bit:

Mannequins, like the human beings they are modelled after, can have unusual stories and backgrounds. We rarely question where they come from, but more often than not they're the handiwork of a skilled craftsperson. David Costa is one of those interesting people.
Words ESRA GÜRMEN
David, who goes by the name Dash-n-Dazzle, began restoring vintage display mannequins after many years of what he describes as a gruelling schedule as a professional hairstylist. Eventually, he became a wig-maker and make-up artist for a mannequin manufacturer in New York. Even though he enjoyed the work, he didn't think it allowed much creative freedom and decided to go it alone. David now works in a studio within his New Jersey home, where he gets private commissions from mannequin collectors, retailers, artists, celebrities and authors from all over the world. We recently caught up with him to talk beauty ideals, cracking mannequins' head open, and freaky requests.
Beauty Papers: How did your fascination with mannequins begin and how did you start working on them?
Dash-N-Dazzle: I recall being fascinated with mannequins from a very early age and remember staring at them in stores. My two aunts owned a bridal shop when I was a child and I remember helping dress them and change the wigs. I started working on mannequins by accident. I happened to be in a shopping mall and saw mannequin masks being used as a display prop in an optician's window. I was able to track down the person who made the display and bought quite a few unpainted ones for myself. At the time I worked in a salon as a hairstylist so that background made it easier to transition to working exclusively on mannequins. That was about 27 years ago.
What kind of tools and materials do you use while restoring vintage mannequins in terms of their make-up, hairdo, eyes etc?
To repair an old mannequin, I use power tools such as drills, Dremel and electric sanders, which not only help repair the mannequin but they also allow me to open the head in order to insert the glass eyes. The make-up is done with artists' oils. The hair is usually synthetic but the normal hairdressing tools are used for those.
Do you get unusual or funny requests when you're doing private commissions?
Once in a while I will get an unusual request. For example, someone wanted their mannequin to be painted as a zombie. Another person asked to set the eyes in the head rolling far back as if it was unconscious. In situations like that I have to separate my own personal feelings and focus on pleasing the owner of the mannequin.
Do you find that there is a difference between the facial features of old mannequins and new mannequins? Would you say there has been a change in beauty/attractiveness standards? For example, some of the old Greneker mannequins' faces are different than present-day mannequins' faces. Some art deco busts have quite different dimensions compared to present-day as well.
Yes, there is a difference not only with the faces but also with the body type. The faces and bodies usually reflect the ideal of the time in which the mannequins were made. A body from the 50s, for example, will usually have the undergarment shape sculpted right into the body. So if a bullet bra and girdle were the undergarments of the time, the body will be shaped that way so it will have the right foundation for the clothing. Also the body language, pose and posture will reflect what's happening at the time.
Do you think mannequins reflect society's beauty standards or do you think they set those standards?
I think mannequins do reflect society's beauty standards, but in some ways they need to be a little ahead of the trend. Mannequins are expensive and stores won't want to invest in something that won't give them several years of use. A few years ago a trend started with making mannequins with big breasts. For clothing, those didn't work because a mannequin's breast can't conform to a garment like it would on a person. So a dress will twist and go out of shape and it will be impossible to zip or button the article of clothing. It was a terrible idea and bad design.
I use power tools such as drills, Dremel and electric sanders, which not only help repair the mannequin but they also allow me to open the head in order to insert the glass eyes. The make-up is done with artists' oils. The hair is usually synthetic but the normal hairdressing tools are used for those.
What's the difference between working on the face and/or hair of a real person and a mannequin?
It's a parallel universe. What ends up looking the same is actually quite different as far as the process. Cosmetics won't work on a mannequin and using those will end up looking blotchy on a painted surface, which is why it has to be done with paint. Doing hair on a mannequin is much more difficult and some custom built wigs can take several days to complete. On a person it can take a few minutes or less whereas a wig duplicated in that style will take a lot longer especially since a hairline is required all way round the head.
Would you say mannequins from certain periods or eras are more homogenous in their looks? Do they evolve with the changing social landscape?
With realistic mannequins today, there is a huge variety of facial features since they are almost always based on actual people rather than a sculptor's interpretation of what the current ideal is. There is more of a variety of skin tones mainly because customers are demanding and expecting it now. Society was quite different years ago and with that came a different set of rules. Also, make-up and skin tone options weren't available to customers who were interested in purchasing a mannequin. So as a result the mannequins had a generic type of monochrome face paint done in a slapdash style.
Is there anything interesting that you'd like to share with us about the history of mannequin design, or something interesting about the day-to-day life of working on mannequins?
What I find interesting is the fact that society has always been fascinated by their particular beauty ideal. We can go as far back as ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome and their statues all depict what their own ideal was at the time. So in that respect not much has changed. Today, the realistic mannequin has actually been downplayed by the retail industry. The majority of stores are using simplistic modern figures sprayed white either with an abstract head or in some cases the head will be nonexistent. I suppose they find them to be adequate in showing the merchandise, but unlike a realistic mannequin, they lack sex appeal. The only way to do that is with a realistic mannequin that has a face, hair and make-up. Right now the stores feel that a utilitarian look is more practical. But like any trend, the pendulum will swing the other way and more realistic figures will be seen in store windows.

Blueberry Cheesecake Bars – With blueberry season quickly coming to an end I had the strong urge to baking with blueberries one last time. As soon as I saw these on Jen's blog a few weeks ago I knew that they would be a hit. I love baking with oatmeal because I love the texture that it brings to baked goods and with blueberries and cheesecake, how can you go wrong?
The flavors all come together to create one of the best desserts that I've had in a long, long time. The flavors are all just so perfect together with the chewy oatmeal base, the smooth and sweet cheesecake middle, and the slightly tart and juicy blueberry layer. I had a hard time sharing these… 😉
We are these cold, straight from the fridge, each time but they would probably be great served at room temperature, too. Just make sure to store them in the fridge.
Blueberry Cheesecake Bars
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups oats
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
For the blueberry layer:
- 1 2/3 cup blueberries
- 3 tbsp. sugar
- 2 tsp. cornstarch
- 2-3 tsp. lemon juice
For the cheesecake layer:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- Pinch salt
1. Heat oven to 350° F and line an 8-inch square baking pan with non-stick foil or parchment paper.
2. For the crust: In a large bowl mix oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add in the melted butter and stir until evenly mixed and very crumbly. Set aside 1/2 cup crumb mixture for topping.
3. Press remaining mixture into prepared pan and bake for 12 minutes.
4. In a small saucepan carefully stir together blueberries, sugar, and cornstarch and then add in lemon juice. Heat the saucepan to medium and cook, stirring often, until mixture begins to thicken, about 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool slightly before pouring over baked crust.
5. In bowl of electric mixer beat the cream cheese until smooth and then add sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat well until thoroughly mixed and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add in the egg and mix until combined. Pour cheesecake filling over the blueberry filling.
6. Top the blueberry filling with the reserved crumb mixture.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes until top begins to brown and filling is bubbly. Remove pan to a wire rack and allow to cool completely. When bars reach room temperature chill for an hour in the refrigerator before cutting. Store in refrigerator.

The Pitch: Friday brunch at Al Bahou
Dine under 88 magical Middle Eastern lanterns at this brunch inspired by the global travels of Ibn Battuta, which unites the hotel's five main restaurants: Shanghai Chic, Chor Bazaar, Sicilia, Mistral and Moroc Lounge.
The Al Bahou Friday Family Brunch is a great choice for families with loads of activities. For children, there is giant bouncy castle, an indoor cinema, kids' buffet and the Little Birds Club for our younger guests with minders.
The brunch is inspired by Ibn Battuta. We want our guests to rediscover travel through flavours, to set off on a journey and make moments where they feel they have travelled the world one bite at a time.
I would recommend that everyone starts with one of our signature "healthy shots". One of my favourites would be the carrot, beetroot and ginger shot.
The star of our spread would be our home-smoked salmon – and nothing beats smoking it yourself. The depth in flavour just adds a certain edge to good quality salmon. We have different flavoured salmon that come out of our kitchen, the most popular being the cured salmon, smoked salmon and beetroot infused salmon. All of them are available at the Friday Brunch.
For kids, there's the "Power Bites" menu. This features a selection of inventive and colourful dishes that are fresh, nutritious and composed of carefully selected ingredients. One of the highlights is the fruit sushi platter!
One of the most popular elements is the Peking duck station. This is the star of our award-winning restaurant Shanghai Chic and is very popular at the brunch, too.
Before you go, you have to try the sticky toffee pudding with a side of one of our many Mövenpick ice cream flavours. You cannot miss that!
The Al Bahou Friday Brunch
When: Friday, 12.30-4pm
Price: AED325 with soft drinks; AED425 with house beverages; AED599 with premium bubbles.
Where: Mövenpick Hotel Ibn Battuta Gate

India has to get the pace of its reforms right to grow fast
To retain its status as an island of growth and for funds to flow back, India has to get the pace of its reforms right.comment Updated: Jun 18, 2015 03:27 IST
Yesteryear humorist Mehmood was more than symbolic when he crooned 'Na biwi na bachcha na baap bada na bhaiyya/ The whole thing is that ki bhaiyya sabse bada rupaiya' in the 1976 movie Sabse Bada Ruppaiya.
The movie, released a few years after a politically controversial rupee devaluation move in the Sixties, mirrored the inescapable importance of the currency in India's socio-economic milieu.
Now as the rupee hits a 21-month low, racing past 64 to a dollar, all seemed to have one question in mind: Is the rupee headed towards the lows it recorded in 2013?
Two years ago the rupee went into a tailspin, hitting an all-time low of 68.85 to a dollar in August 2013, driven by fears that the US central bank will start unwinding its stimulus programme. This had prompted foreign portfolio investors to move funds away from emerging markets like India.
The resultant dollar flight had pummelled the rupee's value. The proximate reasons for the current fall of the rupee are both local and foreign. A spurt of tax notices to foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) had roiled investor sentiment.
This has spooked investors although the government has maintained that FIIs were asking for 'retrospective exemption' of minimum alternate tax (MAT). The selling by FPIs has set off a dollar outflow, pushing down the rupee's value. While the MAT notices are a domestic issue, global markets will closely track the developments in the two-day US Federal Reserve meeting that began on Tuesday. The meeting will likely decide on a schedule to raise interest rates. Higher interest rates in the US could trigger a dollar flight, hurting India's (and other emerging nations') equity and currency markets. Besides, crude oil prices have been steadily rising over the last few days.
Herbert Stein, a former economic adviser to US Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, had presciently observed: "If something cannot go on forever, it will stop."
India will only be hoping that Stein's rule proves true for halting the rupee's free fall. But, for that, we have to get the pace of reforms right for India to retain its status as an island of global growth and funds to flock back here.

|Re: ExceptionListener not getting fired on the client side when using JmsTemplate
|Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:46:05 GMT
This issue seems to be happening even if I use the raw ActiveMQ API instead of using the Spring's JmsTemplate. If I just set ExceptionListener on the ActiveMQ connection or connectionfactory, it is not getting invoked for exceptions as part of ActiveMQConnection.start(). It looks to me from the code also that The ExceptionListener is not invoked/triggered when exception occurs as part of starting the connection. ActiveMQConnection.start() calls ensureConnectionInfoSent() which calls syncSendPacket. If the response has an exception here, why is the exception handler not getting invoked? Isn't this a bug? -Steven -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/ExceptionListener-not-getting-fired-on-the-client-side-when-using-JmsTemplate-tp4673285p4673287.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

After a very long time. Supposedly, this will be release on Nayumi's birthday but I was really busy and end up on moving last Étoile Royale Grand Promenade but sadly, again... I didn't make it so I just announced the video that day and the target video release was yesterday, June 30, 2012. And for the 3rd time, it was delayed because of the trouble I had. So, I just finished the video today. I even thought it'll finish saving within 14 hours and after 10 minutes, when I checked the status, it's only 2 and half hour left! And now, here's the video. Hope you like it :)

There are a number of people with a "Great Calling" upon
their life, and KNOW it. Yet,
they are isolated and hidden from view.
They are frustrated, because their "calling" seems of
little value, let alone be that which is bringing forth fruit.
Because of that "calling", the enemy has launched
viciously upon them, and has worked overtime to keep them suppressed,
and oppressed. So much so,
that I am sure many of them have at times been brought to the position
of wondering if there even IS a "God".
this will not take place until the necessary "TRAVAIL" has
been reached. As bad as things are in many places, we have NOT YET
reached this stage. Nor do very many understand what this travail
is for, or what it brings forth. By the time you have finished all
of the courses in this study, you WILL UNDERSTAND. How can we know
how to pray, if we do not even know what we should be praying for???
|Many times I come to a
scripture that I want to exercise myself upon, and I become a bit
frustrated, for writing just does not get it done. It takes direct
teaching by the spoken word, and that through more than just one short
There are many key issues in this chapter that those who know they are called for something in this "End Time", must come to understand, so that they might understand what is happening to them, AND WHY!!!
Let me bring the emphasized blue words together here for you to remember as I go along.
Read them carefully. Are you being prepared for Son Ship, or are you a BASTARD? If being prepared for Son Ship, then rejoice. By these few lines you can tell which you are.
I know by Prophecy, that there are a number of people experiencing despair instead of joy, and greatly distressed by this reality. This is why. The very foundation of the "Christian" walk is the forming of Jahshuah within us. Most that is taught says nothing of this whatsoever. The "walk of the Cross" has lost its meaning for a Word Contradicting materialistic, entertaining, "Christianity". This attracts a far greater crowd, and certainly a far greater revenue.
We cannot arrive at our calling until we have endured the cross to suffer the contradiction of EVERYTHING promised to us. Enduring the cross is NOT fun folks. It was not joyous for our Savior, and neither is it for those who will walk after Him. It can be one of cruel humiliating shame to our fallen ego; and at times a despairing, even agony and sorrow. The prophecies are very clear of what people will be experiencing before the Kingdom (manifesting of the dwelling places of Zion), and then the extreme joy that covers them upon their arrival, as this contradiction IS REVERSED. Anyone who thinks he can come into Son Ship IN THE KINGDOM without this chastisement, without tribulation, this work of the cross upon their life, is NOT a true son, and I do not care how spiritual they may make themselves appear, THEY ARE BASTARDS OF THE GREAT WHORE!!!
The enemy COUNTERFEITS everything that is of Jah. In this counterfeit is the CONTRADICTION of EVERYTHING that is Truth. Contradiction is that which is directly opposite of that which it is contradicting. The carnal mind gets EVERYTHING backwards, and in getting it backwards, is therefore in direct opposition to Jah and His Truth. We are presently living in the Kingdom of Darkness. This is the Kingdom of Contradiction, and believe me, it is opposing Jah with everything it can muster.
We cannot receive the Kingdom Life, the Kingdom Promises, NOR the Kingdom Calling, while residing in Babylon. This IS impossible, for it is the Land of Contradiction!!! Nothing can be received here but the results of that contradicting. You may think that this is not so. Would you contradict our Savior??? Jahshuah made it VERY CLEAR in His Book of Revelation that we MUST COME OUT of the whoredom being committed by the "Mystery Woman"! Does He promise blessing if we "remain in her"??? OR JUDGMENT??? You figure it out. It shouldn't take you long to do so.
It is said that Jahshuah did this for us, so we do not have to do so. This is contradicting the words of the very savior that bought us. I would like to remind everyone that Jahshuah (not the Word Contradicting people pleasers of today), said to TAKE UP OUR CROSS and follow Him. Who shall we listen to? To Jahshuah, or those who appear spiritual, but reveal their carnality by contradicting Him? He went to the cross to GIVE US the way to reverse this contradiction, which in reality, is the redemption from the fall of Adam and Eve; and if we FOLLOW HIM in this "way", we WILL come out of "Suffering the Contradiction", but will NEVER DO SO, unless we DO follow Him.
It is a spiritual fact that we ARE resurrected in Him. However, there is a redemptive process that is to take place in us that brings this fact into reality. A being "changed from Glory to Glory". Anyone who does not see the constant need of this redemptive process taking place in their life is not facing facts, nor do they understand the full and complete redemption from the fall. We are told that we are "Redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb". Where does that "Blood" come from?
Our becoming One With Him, begins AT THE CROSS. It is the "I am crucified with Messiah". Avoid the Cross, and we avoid becoming one with Him. He died to take our sins away, we meet Him at the Cross to give them to Him.
Paul stated in 1st Cor. 1:18:
Leave off with the "Preaching of the Cross", and we are NOT in the power of Jah, but of devils.
This avoidance of the Cross is the lie of Jezebel. It is she that robs from the rightful inheritors, and gives it to those who are in obedience to her. In this, the Preachers of Contradictions, and those who believe and apply them, appear blessed of Jah. What they have received has not been through Jahshuah, but "the counterfeit faith", which is nothing more than witchcraft sorcery of Jezebel. What has been received through sorcery will look good, and be pleasurable for a while, but the day of reckoning with this error is fast upon us.

Selvin Govender brings his flair for interpreting trends, and understanding market needs to the role of Marketing Director for Mercedes-Benz Cars – a division of Mercedes-Benz South Africa. His career advancement in the Mercedes-Benz South Africa group of companies is based on a wide range of expertise gained throughout his career, and also through his formal studies.
Holding an MBA, Selvin also has a degree in Supply Chain Management and National Diplomas in Transportation Management and Mechanical Engineering. He has excelled in all three of the organisations that make up the Mercedes-Benz group in South Africa, having cut his teeth at debis Fleet Management (a part of the company's Services Group) as a key accounts executive. Other positions include gaining experience in areas such as remarketing, pre-owned, residual value management, and fleet services at Mercedes-Benz Financial Services. Selvin's position as National Sales Manager for Mercedes-Benz SA has been the final stepping stone before his appointment to head up the Marketing Division as Marketing Director, Mercedes-Benz Cars, making him a well-rounded asset to the business.
Gala evening 2017
"An evening like this cannot happen without our main sponsor, Mercedes-Benz South Africa. I wish to thank Mr. Selvin Govender for his continued support of the club and his generous sponsorship of this evening and the club in general. I am looking forward to our continued professional cooperation. I am sure he agrees that this prestigious event follows the standard set by Mercedes-Benz.
I would like to call upon Selvin to join me here on the stage once again. This afternoon, the National Committee proposed to bestow a special membership to Selvin Govender, which was unanimously accepted by the members at the AGM. This award is bestowed on a person that has rendered a valuable and beneficial service to the Mercedes-Benz Club and Mercedes-Benz Marque. I cannot think of a better recipient than Selvin. I met him the first time in 2009 when he represented MBSA at the AGM held in George. We cannot forget his generous sponsorship of last year's AGM in Gauteng, having sponsored the track day at Zwartkop for us. He again arranged a much appreciated sponsorship for the club this year. He is well known in the club and a very worthy recipient."

Hi folks!
Time for a great update of Mr. Rhino!
Many things happend since the last update, I changed the loincloth, which was looking like a skirt, added some armor parts and so on. For the forged look of the armor parts I used a dental tool called "Kugelstopfer" in german, I don't know the correct name in english, but here is a (crappy) picture from my tool. You can find it on eBay or Amazon for example.
And now pictures, please. ;-)
I also started a first sketch of his weapon. We will see if it would fit with some more details on.
So long!

Keeping your skin in check is no easy feat, so WY? sought advice from Joanna Karpinski, Victorian State Manager at Skinceuticals, for five top skin and beauty tips…
1. Make sure your skin is being looked after with correct active ingredients at different times of the day.
For example, use a well-balanced pH cleanser such as, Skinceuticals Simply Clean in the morning followed by an antioxidant serum to prevent oxidative stress and free radical damage, which causes ageing. Make sure you find a solution that is scientifically proven for physiological results, Phloretin CF Gel is a great option.
We are heading towards summer so prevention of skin damage is absolutely imperative. Antioxidants like: Vit C (L-ascorbic acid ), Ferulic, Phloretin, Copper Peptide PCA are fantastic to prevent skin damage and UV induced inflammation which can be found in a preventing serum such as our C E Ferulic.
2. Always hydrate your skin!
Water is a natural body moisutiser so look after Trans Epidermal Water Loss (which increases with age) and address both acid mantle dehydration/oxidation and surface moisture loss, which causes skin dryness. Try using Skinceuticals Hydrating B5 Masque to address this skin issue.
A high quality moisturiser should be applied in the morning and at night, on top of an active serum. It doesn't have to be heavy and if your skin is oily, then there are plenty of solutions on the market that can address oily skin. There are also hyaluronic, vitamin enriched serums available, such as Hydrating B5 Gel Serum, which acts as a pre moisturiser for skin that feels dry.
3. Always address skin damage with high quality corrective products.
Most Australians are concerned with pigmentation – a condition that should be addressed by a combination of active ingredients such as vitamin A (at night), tyrosinase inhibitors, peptides, AHA's and anti- inflammatory solutions. If you're unsure about what treatments and products are best for you, book an appointment with a skin specialist, as self-prescription and diagnosis can be tricky. If you're thinking of IPL treatments, you need to look at a priming skin program before, for better results.
4. Always apply SPF at least 15- 20 min before leaving your house in the morning.
Take your product with you when you head out, as you might need to reapply throughout the day. The recommended dose of SPF 30+ is measured by 2 mg per square cm of human skin, however the average person won't use that much product, so a top up is needed during a day.
5. Always look out for new and exciting ways of rejuvenating possibilities, which are safe for home usage.
A high quality Titanium Microneedling device such as Medik8 is great for personal home usage. This device penetrates the top layers of the skin without causing any damage and allows for higher absorption of topical products. Titanium Microneedling is an incredibly accurate and minimally intrusive home device and is suitable for all skin types and colours. Using this device twice a week at night with provide the wow factor for your skin.

Welcome to our TRAVEL Concierge Service
For 22 Years
Don't have the time to plan or book?
Don't know where to go or what to see?
Don't want to miss out on any local secrets?
Our team is here to help you plan, quote and book your extraordinary Tasmanian adventure
Just wanted to drop you a short note to thank you for a terrific itinerary and choice of accommodations. We got back from Tasmania having had the best 'real' holiday in years. Loved it! The order of the trip was perfect and all the hotel bookings worked seamlessly. Anyway, just wanted to say we had a great time thanks to your help ! I'm strongly recommending Tasmania and Tasmania.com to all our friends now!
On the whole, what we loved about Tassie was the stunning countryside, picture perfect views, great food and wine, and the ease of getting around. It's not at all crowded - probably the most people we saw in any one place was at MONA, the Salamanca market and up around Cradle Mountain. Even then it was pretty light compared to Sydney traffic and crowds.
P Helson - Sydney
Our holiday was as enjoyable as we hoped, thank you for your recommendations and itinerary, we were very pleased to take the long road from Coles Bay. Iron House is a superb spot and we found the best pinot noir we tasted (and there were many) at Priory Ridge near St Helens. Probably the most rustic of all cellar doors too!

First, I must first admit that I am not a LEGO fan and I don't see this (LEGO movie) coming in such a big scale. Warner Bros has just released the frist Movie Poster and Trailer for this upcoming Avenger-like lego movie. Yes, you hear me right, everything and all thing will be in LEGO.
I am sure LEGO fans (big or small) will find it interesting and rush to see it in big screen (and probably in 3D too). But personally, I don't see myself paying to see this in cinema ;-)
Short synopsis of The LEGO movie:
An ordinary LEGO minifigure, mistakenly thought to be the extraordinary MasterBuilder, is recruited to join a quest to stop an evil LEGO tyrant from gluing the universe together
By the way, the movie will be voiced by huge casts like Morgan Freeman, Lian Neeson and Will Ferrell. It will be in cinemas near you in Feb 2014.

Words, hubbul
At least 50% of freelancers and contractors will continue to work independently, despite incoming changes to the way they are potentially taxed when working in the public sector.
Changes to IR35 in the public sector, which will see public sector employers deciding whether contractors sit inside or outside IR35 come 6th April, has raised fears among some over the very future of independent working.
Without the right to set their own employment status, unsurprisingly, a huge 95% of contractors surveyed by UK contractor tax advisor, Qdos Contractor, believe the benefits of working this way are being reduced.
That said, at least half of the 2,000 UK independent workers asked, were adamant they would 'never go employed', cementing the long-held opinion that worklife balance and more control over your career is just as, if not more important than taking home more money.
While a worrying 46% of contractors asked revealed they 'would think about' returning to, or going employed, just 4% were actually planning to give up their self-employed status due to looming changes to IR35 in the public sector.
"That by and large, a telling proportion of UK contractors are confident enough to say they'd never go employed is positive news, in what ultimately is a period of uncertainty for the sector," explained Seb Maley, CEO of Qdos Contractor.
The survey did reveal however, that even though contractors are planning to remain self-employed, the public sector might not see the benefit. 85% would stop working in the public sector should they be deemed inside IR35, and caught by the new rules.
"Understandably, contractors are feeling threatened by incoming IR35 changes, with many planning to stop working on public sector contracts should they be caught by the new IR35 rules," Seb Maley commented.
"With the right guidance and support though, the UK's contractor workforce should be able to continue to benefit from working independently - and in the public sector - without the fear of wrongly being deemed inside IR35 by public sector clients."
HMRC's latest scheme to scupper 'large scale tax avoidance' among public sector contractors has not been a popular move to say the least.
IPSE's CEO Chris Bryce, has been adamant in the past that along with the contractor workforce, the public sector itself will suffer. In a recent blog, he argued:
"This will not end well for the public sector. Our research has shown it will force over half of contractors out of the public sector while the rest increase their pay rate. So public sector organisations will not be able to attract the talent needed to get the work done, or they have to pay more to get it. It is likely organisations will turn to the 'big four' consultancies to fill the void and then the costs will really soar."
What's more, April 6th's changes are simply thought to be a test-bed before the same initiative is rolled out in the private sector.
That the majority of independent workers are adamant that they will continue to work this way regardless of future IR35 changes is at least positive news for self-employment though, not to mention the UK economy.
How will changes to IR35 in the public sector affect you? Get commenting...

Why have a website?
Most organisations today recognise the need to have an inviting and information on-line presence. Just in case you are not yet convinced, here are some thoughts you might find interesting:
- The penetration of computers and the internet continues to grow at a rapid pace, in Australia and globally. As of 2009 over 4 in every 5 Australians is on-line. Not so long ago, statistics were collected about the number of homes with a computer, now statistics are collected about the number of computers in each home! As a Community Service, Not For Profit or Non Government organisation, having an on-line mechanism to tell the world who you are and what you do is even more important now as the internet is fast becoming the de facto first source of information gathering by most Australians.
- An organisation's web site is its window to the world. Much as a retail shop front is designed to be inviting and enticing to attract shoppers, an organisation's web site is designed to achieve the same result. A well designed site can provide your organisation with a very cost effective and efficient mechanism to introduce your service or advocacy to new clients or stakeholders. With a website you can present yourself, your staff and your service clearly and professionally.
- In the "bricks and mortar" world, a small organisation is very difficult to present as anything other than that, a small enterprise. In the on-line world however, you have the opportunity to present your organisation with the credibility and impact of a much larger entity. This credibility factor can be crucial to engaging new clients and or stakeholders or in the pursuit of funding from benefactors or corporate partners. An unprofessional website will reflect poorly on your perceived professionalism, and worse not having a website at all can work against you when being compared with the competition and when competing for scarce funding, being at any disadvantage can be financially detrimental.
- A full featured web site can enable your organisation with the ability to provide information about what services your organisation provides at any time of the day or night. In addition, you can connect with people around the world without concern for time zones or staff costs.
- It is not just organisations on the web, individuals, clubs and communities are more and more using the internet to communicate and advocate. As just one example, Facebook has now in excess of 400 million users world wide and growing. Community Service, Not for profit and Non Government organisations are more and more using the internet and social networking tools such as Facebook to advocate for and build their communities online.

4th tasting event: Darjeeling, Nepal & surprise
Nepal Kuwapani FF SFTGFOP 1,
7 comments:
these shots are just marvelous. I was going to ask you if u can speak Chinese, or Japanese since you're passionate tea lover.ReplyDelete
Happy Sunday!
The autumnal flush teas are my favorite when it comes to darjeeling. I can enjoy a first and second flush, but the flavors of the autumnal pull me in.ReplyDelete
Great post!
Do you normally drink many indian and nepalese teas?
Was going to give you a bit of background information on the generic Hadong green tea packaging pictured here but the comment turned into a post all its own! Will post in detail about this topic within the next week or two.
In short- was going to mention that this is the generic green tea packaging for saejak Hadong green tea and that it indicates a smaller production.
Thanks for the inspiration.
By the way, How did you like the Indian and Nepalese tea this year?
that's probably because I'm not the one who took them, haha :D About your question - no, I unfortunately do not speak any Asian language, except for some basic Japanese and Chinese words and phrases. Happy Sunday to you, too!
Thanks! When it comes to teas from Himalayas, my favorite is the First Flush, which is the most flowery and mild and somehow "greener" if you know what I mean - that's partly because I generally prefer green teas and light oolongs. I normally do not drink a lot of Indian and Nepalese teas for the same reason, though I can't say I dislike them - it's just that there are bigger favorites of mine in the world of tea. ;)
I think you already mentioned that in some post on your blog, because that's exactly what we were talking about with Teatrade.sk owners yesterday - I mentioned that this "Hadong Green Tea" isn't one big tea brand, but actually more smaller producers, because I remembered that thanks to your blog.
Here, I used sentence "And it really is as pleasant as i imagined it to be", because this actual tea was brought by shop owners of Darjeeling.cz from their recent trip to Korea and was recommended to me by Petr Novák and Ho Go in this post: http://poemtea.blogspot.com/2010/06/another-tea-degustation.html
So I knew the tea and was expecting it to taste, smell and look... somehow like this and it hadn't disappointed me at all. ;)
I'm looking forward to your post, then!
First flush of Indian and Nepalese teas this year was very flowery and with quite a vivid tone of citrus-like aroma, and that's exactly what I like on these teas, so I really enjoyed it. Have you already tried this year's tea from Himalayas?
Oh, no, Michael that is not true. I know you take wonderful photos too.ReplyDelete
It would be a great to learn an Asian language. It's a whole new world. You've already met a part of it.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Have a good night!
The tea party sounds like it was a lot of fun and such nice teas to taste with friends! Here in Bangkok, we have a tea party every Sunday evening at one of the tea shops here. This week, one of the group returned from Prague and bought several Darjeeling and Nepali teas which he shared with us. Beside the Goomtee FF from Darjeeling.cz that I had gotten from Daniel in Korea, I had only tasted a few other FF of this season. So far, I would have to say that I was quite pleased with the sheer variety and quality of this year's harvest and haven't had a bad Darjeeling yet. The 2 Nepali teas were also very good and the first I had ever tasted. One was called Shangrilla.ReplyDelete
Glad you enjoyed the Hadong. I've yet to taste it.
Ho Go,ReplyDelete
those tea parties you have in Bangkok seem very nice, too! I think it always is great when tea lovers meet and drink tea together; it's a completely different experience than drinking tea alone.
Though I don't drink a lot of Darjeeling and Nepali teas as I mentioned before, I also felt good about this year's harvest quality and enjoyed these teas a lot.
I really recommend this Hadong green tea from Daniel, it really is a special tea worth trying.

Here at Shoetastic we specialise in small shoes and boots for women in sizes 13-4 (eu 32-37). What you say about us, why we love shoetastic!!! your reviews from all over the world!!!
Why We Love Shoetastic.ie
collette, county waterford testimonial
Best Wishes
I am SO delighted to have found Shoetastic!!!! As a size 2 it has been a nightmare to source shoes so HALLELUJIAH for Amy Hanly & her site. I ordered three items within the first week!!! The level of service is exemplary even down to being able to advise on the right size to buy in particular styles. I know only too well the delight in a new outfit only to realise that getting shoes to match would be nigh on impossible - well no more I fully intend to shop with Shoetastic frequently and often!!!!
Cindi Co, Tipperary
"Thank you so much for setting up Shoetastic!. For years I've gone through the kids shoes section in shops and just buying something just because they fitted. I used to consider shoe shopping a task I would seriously dread it before, and end up settling for something I didn't really want! Now I find myself checking your website almost every day and have purchased a piggy bank that says "for shoes"! I finally fully understand the obsession us ladies have for shoes! Your company is fantastic and I will be purchasing a lot more shoes form you in the future! Thanks again!"
Looking forward to my next pair of shoes!
Elaine, County Limerick
Shoetastic has been the best discovery I have made in years, it's fantastic to be able to get fashionable, pretty shoes for those of us with small feet. It's a pleasure to be able to stop trawling the kids section for decent shoes. Amy also makes a great personal effort, she's contacted me everytime I've purchased to check everything was ok. I wish her all the success in the world and I'll be buying shoes from here again soon.
I first became aware of Shoetastic (Ladies Petite Shoes) when I saw an advertisement on Exposé I have always had difficulty in getting up to date dressy shoes as I only wear a size 2 Learning about Shoetastic couldn't have come at a better time as I was booked to go on a Cruise in the summer. I was able to order various shoes to suit this occasion all at a very reasonable price The personal service you receive from this company is exceptional and your order will be received in a matter of a few days. The shoes are off a very high standard and I would have no hesitation in recommending this site to anyone I'm sure I will be very happy ordering from them in the future.

She wakes in the morning. With a pioneering breath she inhales the days potential.
Strumming the keys of her body, coming in tune with her mindful, free spirit.
Gypsy traveler. Vivid storyteller. Daughter of the earth.
Refueling her verve, she bathes in the elements. Earth, Air, Wind, Fire.
Feet bare, she receives the ground. Sand and water. Rock and pasture. She walks lightly over them all – experiencing every grain, every rhythm, every point.
Present. Awake. Listening.
Performing. Portraying. Dancing.
Chasing not the wind, but a salty breeze. The air is good, but she knows it is the salt that brings a refreshing outlook. A view whose beauty cannot be ignored. The salt is essential.
Her simple belongings no longer represent poverty or lack, instead marking freedom, independence and abundance of wealth.
The gifts that she gives are words and affections, wrapped in eccentric, bohemian spirit.
Organic, her roots expose natural strength; branches bearing graceful banners of love; leaves giving birth to wild, passion fruit. Delicious and nourishing to all who receive.
Her bohemian fabrics weave together a swing – for the maidens and the breezes – uniting them with purpose as dreams ride in, on beauty's zephyr.
I saw her today, this girl who once was, she mischievously winks to my spirit- titillation.
"I've missed you", she says, "choose me again. I'm still just a floret – in the forest of your soul. The ferns are sweeping a beckoning sway, don't you feel them?" she exclaims, "enchantment awaits!"
Curtains pulled back, she calls out my name.
The sound of my name rivets a quake. My ears hear her roar, skin radiant and trembling. From deep within I extend a reach, inhaling this effervescent, this essence, of me. As I breathe her in, citrine fire within my veins, her spice is delightful, nostalgic, even seductive.
Extracting her zeal sends chills up my spine, my posture responds in attention.
"She's back!", say my bones, as my heart jumps with joy. Eyes wide with a welcoming embrace, long lashes salute and my face lifts with wonder.
"I'm back." I exhale, and never again, will I let her slip below, to the pits built by shame; the darkness, the depths, constructed with fear. May they remain empty and barren, soon to wither and dry up; relinquishing their space, receding in retreat.
For the girl I one was is coming back to me now; she will need the extra room to stretch out, move and grow. Her flourishing requires an ample arena, for jumping and leaping and bounding some more.
Yes the girl I once was, is now flitting about. Released and restored she lives among me again.
She knows who she is, where she's been, where it is that she goes. She stands on the edges, unafraid and unmoved.
Feet planted, she dances, amidst the salt and the breeze.
I love her, this girl, who once never was.
This amazing grace, who was lost and now found.
As this girl I once was, has come back to me now.
"The girls we once were are coming back to us now…" represents the beauties who live at the intersection of art and faith. The Story Sessions is part of The Story Unfolding, where writers and artists build community amidst kinship. Maybe you have been looking for us? Welcome.

Rachel Roberts-Levi was exhausted. For two straight weeks, the founder of One Family Animal Sanctuary was caring for the organization's newest rescue, Captain, a horse on the brink of death. Every four hours, the skeletal horse that doctors thought wouldn't make it through the first night in his new home, needed to be fed small amounts of food.
Six months later, the horse who was brought to the North Las Vegas sanctuary, once starving, is now 150 pounds heavier and on his way back to normal size.
This is what Roberts-Levi wants for all of the animals being cared for at One Family.
Founded in 2014, One Family's Roberts-Levi, and her husband Avraham Levi, began a quest to serve as a safe haven for farm animals that had been abused, neglected or could no longer be cared for by their owners. The two offered a place of protection, love and a more peaceful way of life. They also began work to raise awareness that farm animals—just like cats and dogs—deserve to be loved and recognized as friends, not food.
To do this, One Family began to get out into the community, namely schools, visiting students and offering them chances to rub the pigs' bellies and snuggle with chickens, building a connection to the animals.
"The kids create bonds and memories they will carry with them for the rest of their lives," she says. "Hopefully, one day it will help them to decide to look beyond the abstract words society has created like 'bacon' and make the connection that animals are sentient beings that feel pain and deserve to live."
Today, the sanctuary spans roughly two acres and is home to more than 50 rescued farm animals from Las Vegas and Pahrump, and offers adoption and fostering.
The private sanctuary rescues farm animals and provides them with long-term love and care in a cage-free environment. Animals with One Family receive food, shelter and medical treatment, which is covered largely by donations. What donations don't cover, the husband-wife team pay out-of-pocket, ensuring the rescues get the best care possible.
"They have no voice," she says. "We have to be their light and their voice and help them pull through these horrible situations so that they can go on to be confident, loving animals. This is why we continue making daily sacrifices to help animals in need, and they are worth it every single time."

HighKicks has a new Friend. That's what this person (man or woman I'm not entirely sure) goes by. There isn't much information I can share about this individual, other than their music is very well produced. This music is smoking a corn cob pipe, sitting around a fire, feet up with a drink in hand. This is a road trip with your best friends, taking in the beautiful sights. This is some really relaxed listening; every song. I hear banjo, guitar, harmonica and best of all – BASS. Do yourself a favour and follow this artist. Whoever you are, Friend. , and wherever you're from, meet your new fans. This first song, 'Catharsis', is only two days old. It takes the Glitch label without a doubt. I also want to specifically share 'Homestead' and 'The Whistler.' Both of these tunes are less than six months old, more relaxed, and the instruments really stand out. Trust me on this – listen to the 'Whistler' real loud. That bass doesn't disappoint.
ps. How about that album artwork, am I right?
Easy listening

|Smoked Eggplant Dip
This recipe can be made entirely in a parking lot and is easy to do if you pre-chop all the herbs and spices. Smoking big eggplants takes some patience, especially when cooking the entire aubergine. I really enjoy studding the entire eggplant with garlic prior to cooking. This way, the garlic imparts great flavor inside and cooks at the same time. Enjoy!
- 2 eggplant (about 2 pounds in all)
- 1 head garlic
- 6 oz. plain vegan yogurt (soy, coconut, almond etc.)
- 1/4 cup cilantro, fresh, chopped
- 3 scallion, finely chopped
- 3 teaspoons ginger, grated or finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- Juice of 1/4 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wash the eggplants and cut small slits all over. Press garlic cloves into the slits (See picture below)
- Prepare the smoker. Place the rack as close to the water as possible. Smoke the eggplants for at least 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, chop the herbs. Place in bags or tupperware if bringing to the tailgate.
- Once the eggplants are soft remove them from the smoker and let cool for 15 minutes. If its cold outside this takes less time!
- Peel the eggplant and mash (I actually used an imersion blender) along with the garlic. Peeling is easier with a paring or pocket knife.
- Add the herbs, spices, yogurt, and lemon juice to the mashed eggplant/garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve with pita chips.
