Отели в Амритсар
Amritsar, in the north-west of India, is located near the Pakistan border in the Indian state of Punjab. It is the spiritual and cultural home of Sikhism.
Amritsar is most famous for its glorious Golden Temple, or Harmandir Sahib, Sikhism's holiest shrine. Its dome is said to be gilded with 750kg of pure gold.
Amritsar gets it name from the pool of water surrounding the Golden Temple, the Amrit Sarovar, or Pool of Nectar, which was excavated in 1577 by the fourth Sikh Guru Ram Das. It is the combination of the golden dome and its reflection in this stunning pool of water that gives such beauty and elegance to the gurdwara.
As a symbol of the Sikh philosophy of peace and unity among people of all races and religions, everyone is allowed into the Golden Temple, and free meals are also available in the dining hall.
While the lanes of Amritsar's old city are as frantic and chaotic as anywhere in India, its new city is as slick and modern as New Delhi, with internet cafes, smart shops and international hotels.
Amritsar is a peaceful and hospitable city, welcoming tourists from India and around the world. It has a reputation as a food lover's paradise and the famous Punjabi exports of butter chicken and bhangra music can be found here in plentiful supply.
When to go:
The best time to visit Amritsar is in the winter months from October to March. Temperatures can reach 49 degrees Celsius from April to June.
- Visit the Golden Temple. Devote a whole day to this – there is plenty to see and do. If you're not there for the whole day, be sure to see it at least once by day – when the magical reflection is on full display – and once at night, when it's all lit up. Take advantage of the enthusiastic Sikh volunteers who will be more than happy to tell you the history of the magnificent complex.
- Go to Jallianwala Bagh, which is a short walk from the Golden Temple. The site commemorates more than 2000 protestors who were killed or wounded here by the British in 1919. You can still see bullet holes and the well into which many people jumped to escape the 10 minutes of open fire.
- Don't miss the Summer Palace of Maharaja Ranjit Singh in Ram Bagh, which houses a collection of painting, coins, weapons and miniatures.
- Take an afternoon trip to Attari to see the fascinating border closing ceremony on the India/Pakistan border.
- Eat in a dhaba, or snack bar, for authentic and cheap Punjabi food.
- Visit the Mata Temple, especially if you want to become pregnant. The fairytale Hindu cave temple is devoted to the female saint Lal Devi.
- Get yourself over to Ram Tirth, where Valmiki is said to have drafted some of the Ramayana. It is known as the birthplace of Luv and Kush, the sons of Lord Rama and Sita.

Feds strip protection for Wyoming wolves, approve widespread wolf-killing
WASHINGTON (August 31, 2012) – Today the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced that it is publishing its final delisting rule to strip federal protections for gray wolves in Wyoming.
The following is a statement from Jamie Rappaport Clark, president of Defenders of Wildlife and former director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service:
"Today's removal of wolves in Wyoming from the endangered species list is a tragic ending to what has otherwise been one of America's greatest wildlife conservation success stories. The Obama administration is allowing an important, iconic species to be wiped out from most of the state, including from large tracts of our national forests and other public lands where wildlife management is supposed to be a priority. This administration is rewinding the clock and setting wolf recovery back at least a decade based on the numbers alone. The goal should be to sustain a fully recovered wolf population, not put it right back on life support.
"We've already seen what state wolf management looks like in Idaho and Montana, and it isn't pretty. Over the past year, more than 500 wolves were killed in those two states, and both are making it even easier to hunt and trap wolves next year. Now Wyoming is entering this ugly race to the bottom with a plan to ban wolves from most of the state through unrestricted killing.
"This is a low point in the modern history of wildlife conservation and a stunning move by an administration that vowed to be guided by sound science. We tried to work with the Obama administration, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and state agencies to develop and implement more responsible wolf management plans, but we were dismissed. Now we are left with no choice but to pursue legal action to ensure that a healthy, sustainable wolf population remains in Wyoming and across the Northern Rockies for many generations to come.
"As a former director of the Fish and Wildlife Service and someone who actually participated in the release of wolves into Yellowstone, it is a particularly sad day for me. It's time to end the war on wolves and start fighting to preserve America's wildlife heritage. The American people have invested too much to see these ecologically important animals so carelessly destroyed."
Wyoming's approved wolf management plan creates a "predator zone" across more than 80 percent of the state where wolves can be killed anytime by almost any means, including aerial gunning, trapping, even gassing pups in their dens. The state's goal is to reduce the population outside of Yellowstone National Park by more than 60 percent, leaving just 100 wolves. The hunting season begins on Oct. 1 and would allow up to 52 wolves to be killed in the first year within the trophy game management area, including along the boundaries of Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks and within several national forests. No other native species is persecuted like this and managed around a biological minimum. Wolves play a vital role in creating healthy ecosystems by helping to maintain nature's balance.
Gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park in 1995 and 1996 after being exterminated in the 1930s. The USFWS estimated there were a minimum of 328 wolves in Wyoming at the end of 2011, including 98 within Yellowstone National Park. Wildlife managers estimate there are currently about 270 wolves outside of Yellowstone.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was founded in the aftermath of the 1979 Islamic Revolution as an ideological custodian charged with defending the Islamic Republic against internal and external threats, but analysts say it has expanded far beyond its original mandate. Today, the IRGC presides over a vast power structure with influence over almost every aspect of Iranian life. Still, some experts say that while the corps is generally loyal to hard-line elements in the regime, it is far from a cohesive unit of like-minded conservatives.
The country's premier security institution of more than one hundred thousand strong, the IRGC fields an army, navy, and air force, while managing Iran's ballistic missile arsenal and irregular warfare operations through its elite Quds Force and proxies such as Hezbollah. It is also one of Iran's most influential economic players, wielding control over strategic industries, commercial services, and black-market enterprises. At the same time, the IRGC often serves as an incubator for senior Iranian public officials, making it especially powerful in the political sphere.
'Guardians' of the Revolution
More on:
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was formed by late supreme leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in the wake of the 1979 Islamic Revolution that ousted Shah Reza Pahlavi. The IRGC was originally created as a "people's army" similar to the U.S. National Guard; commanders report directly to the supreme leader, Iran's top decision-maker. Iran's president has little influence on their day-to-day operations.
Bruce Riedel, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and former CIA analyst, says the Revolutionary Guard was created as a "counterweight to the regular military, and to protect the revolution against a possible coup." In establishing the Guards, Khomeini was seeking to avoid a repeat of a successful 1953 coup that ousted a previous revolutionary government. But the Guards' activities in recent years have been aimed at protecting Iranian interests far beyond Tehran.
Current forces consist of naval, air, and ground components, and total roughly 150,000 fighters, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service [PDF]. The corps' primary role is internal security, but experts say the force can assist Iran's regular army, which has about 350,000 soldiers, with external defenses. Border skirmishes during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s helped transform the Guards into a conventional fighting force organized in a command structure similar to Western armies. The Guards also control Iran's Basij Resistance Force, an all-volunteer paramilitary wing, which, according to a 2009 RAND study, consists of as many as one million conscripts.
International Activities
Military analysts say the Guards began deploying fighters abroad during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), "export[ing] the ideals of the revolution throughout the Middle East." The Quds Force, a paramilitary arm of the Revolutionary Guard with ten thousand to fifteen thousand personnel, emerged as the de facto external affairs branch during the corps' expansion. Its mandate was to conduct foreign policy missions—beginning in Iraq's Kurdish region—and forge relationships with Shiite and Kurdish groups. The Quds Force has since supported terrorist activities and armed pro-Iranian militant groups across the Middle East and beyond, including in Lebanon, the Palestinian territories, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Gulf states, and several others, according to the U.S. State Department.
The Guards' alleged involvement in Iraq was a particular point of contention between Washington and Tehran. Former president George W. Bush accused Iran in 2007 of providing roadside bombs to networks inside Iraq. That same year, coalition forces captured several militants in Iraq with alleged links to the Quds Force and Hezbollah. In October 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department designated the Quds Force a terrorist supporter for aiding the Taliban and other terrorist organizations. Still, some analysts have said that Iran's role in Iraq and Afghanistan has been exaggerated.
More on:
In the wake of antigovernment protests throughout the Middle East in 2011, the United States and European Union have accused the Quds Force of providing weapons and other material support to help President Bashar al-Assad suppress the uprising in Syria. In October 2012, a member of the Quds Force pleaded guilty to plotting the assassination of the Saudi ambassador to the United States.
Becoming a Player at Home
The alleged spread of the Revolutionary Guards' external influence coincides with a growing cachet at home. Mehdi Khalaji, a fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, wrote in 2007 that "the Revolutionary Guards are the spine of the current political structure [in Iran] and a major player in the Iranian economy." The Guards' political influence began its ascendancy as a counterweight to former reformist president Mohammad Khatami. But analysts say the number of former Guards entering political life spiked during President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's first term, beginning in 2005. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has appointed former Revolutionary Guards commanders to top political posts like the presidency (Ahmadinejad) and major institutions, like the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting Corporation (Ezzatollah Zarghami), the Supreme National Security Council (Saeed Jalili), and the Expediency Council (Mohsen Rezaei, a 2009 presidential challenger). Ali Alfoneh, an expert on the Revolutionary Guards and a visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, says this increase was a tactical move by Khamenei to counter pressures at home and abroad. He "must have considered former members of the Revolutionary Guards better at crisis management at home . . . but also better [suited] to counter external pressure on the nuclear issue," Alfoneh says.
Amid deepening discord between Khamenei and Ahmadinejad in 2011, the IRGC began to target some of the president's allies, noted Mehrzad Boroujerdi of Syracuse University and independent scholar Kourosh Rahimkhani. The IRGC benefits from the confrontation between Khamenei and Ahmadinejad because it makes Khamenei "more dependent on the power and muscle of the IRGC," wrote Iran expert Abbas Milani.
The Revolutionary Guards also controls Iran's ballistic missile arsenal, mounts foreign and domestic intelligence operations, and is responsible for protecting the regime; the Guards have sole jurisdiction of patrolling the Iranian capital. The Carnegie Endowment's Frederic Wehrey, writing with colleagues in a January 2009 assessment of the Guards [PDF] said "much of the institution's rise to prominence over competing militias and paramilitaries in the postrevolutionary period was due to its effectiveness in suppressing internal dissent." Guardsmen and Basij volunteers have a history of violently crushing riots in Iranian cities, and a unit dedicated to quelling civil unrest, the Ashura Brigades, was established in 1993 (PDF).
In 2007, the Basij was brought under direct command of the Revolutionary Guards by Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari. Alfoneh wrote in 2008 that the move officially refocused the organization on defending against the type of nonviolent "velvet revolution" that ended Communist rule in the former Czechoslovakia.
Some analysts say the reorganization was aimed at quelling the very unrest that surfaced following the June 2009 presidential election, which many say the IRGC helped fix in favor of Ahmadinejad. During protests following the vote, members of the Basij force—dubbed "shadowy vigilantes" by Western news organizations—allegedly beat and killed opposition supporters in Tehran and other Iranian cities. In June 2011, the United States designated the IRGC and Basij as human rights abusers under U.S. executive order 13533. A March 2013 report by a UN special rapporteur cited "widespread and systemic" torture, harassment, arrest, and attacks against human rights defenders, lawyers, and journalists.
Ahead of the 2013 presidential election, opposition activists reported that IRGC forces were once again clamping down on protestors, arresting several people at a rally for Hassan Rouhani, a moderate reformist candidate. "They've created a highly intimidating, securitized atmosphere in order to prevent a repeat of the 2009 protests," says Karim Sadjadpour of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
A Money Machine
Political clout and military might are not the only attributes of today's Revolutionary Guard Corps; it is also a major financial player. The Los Angeles Times estimated in 2007 that the group, which was tasked with rebuilding the country after the Iran-Iraq War, now has ties to more than one hundred companies that control roughly $12 billion in construction and engineering capital. CFR Senior Fellow Ray Takeyh has linked the Guards to university laboratories, weapons manufacturers, and companies connected to nuclear technology. And Wehrey writes that "the IRGC has extended its influence into virtually every sector of the Iranian market." The Guards-controlled engineering firm Khatam al-Anbia, for instance, has been awarded more than 750 government contracts for infrastructure, oil, and gas projects, he says.
Writing for Bloomberg, Mideast analyst Meir Javedanfar characterized Khamenei as "Iran's supreme investor" and the Revolutionary Guards as primary shareholders. He said that the growing list of international sanctions and the failed populist economic policies of Ahmadinejad have not only harmed the Iranian people but also the Guards, who will be looking for a change of fortune with 2013 election.
Not all of the Guards' activities are seen as aboveboard. Mohsen Sazegara, a founding member of the Revolutionary Guard Corps and now a U.S.-based dissident, says though the original charter of the elite force was to create a "people's army," years of political and military changes have transformed the unit into a shadowy behemoth. Sazegara says the Guards' business dealings range from construction and manufacturing to black-market enterprises, like the illegal importation of alcohol. "I don't know of any other organization in any country like the Revolutionary Guards," Sazegara says. "It's something like the Communist Party, the KGB, a business complex, and the Mafia." But Wehrey says the public backlash against its expansion has been muted and that the IRGC enjoys a constituency in certain areas of Iran, especially in rural provinces where Guards-funded infrastructure projects and employment in the Basij paramilitary may give the Guards "a higher degree of support than we assume."
Looking Ahead
In recent years, analysts have differed widely on what the future holds for Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps. Some, like Alfoneh, have suggested the Guards' rising political and economic clout has put it in a position to challenge the clerical establishment. "For the past thirty years, the Islamic Republic has been based on a fundamental alliance between the clergy and the Revolutionary Guards," Alfoneh says, "where the clerics have been ruling the country, and the Revolutionary Guards have guarded the Islamic Republic" and its values. But now the dynamic has changed to one in which "the Revolutionary Guards are both ruling and guarding."
Wehrey doubts that the Guard and its commanders would go that far. For one, he notes, the organization today is factionalized and made up of competing currents. During the Khatami era, for instance, the Guards' leadership supported conservative elements within the Iranian establishment, while the rank and file were more empathetic to the reformists. Under Ahmadinejad, splits emerged most noticeably on economic policy. And to suggest that the Guards would orchestrate an overt bid for power misses the "checks and balances on the system," Wehrey says.
In the lead-up to the 2013 presidential election, two top candidates had links to the Guards: Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who led the corps from 1997 to 2000, and Jalili, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, who is a wounded veteran of the war with Iraq. Many Iran observers see the ascent of these two figures in presidential politics as an affirmation of the IRGC's prominence in Iran's corridors of power.
Looking abroad, counterterrorism expert Matthew Levitt of the Washington Institute sees a growing relationship between Iran, through the Quds Force, and Hezbollah in Syria's civil war and terrorist activities elsewhere: "What we see now is that Hezbollah is going to do things today [in Syria] that are in Iran's interest even if they expressly run counter to the interests of Lebanon and Hezbollah's own interest there."
The "marked resurgence of Iran's state sponsorship of terrorism, through its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps–Quds Force, its Ministry of Intelligence and Security, and Tehran's ally Hezbollah" was a major finding of the U.S. State Department. These terrorist activities "have reached a tempo unseen since the 1990s," said the U.S. State Department in its 2012 country reports on terrorism.

This is the first of a series of decade theme muffin tins on the agenda this year. I'll be totally honest. I thought this would be a super fun theme to work on, way back when I was brainstorming theme ideas. But when it actually came time to think up what would actually go in the 50's themed muffin tin meal, well, I was kinda stumped! After scratching my brain all week this is what I came up with:
In the front row:
- a nod to the 50's era Soda Shops with wax candy soda bottles
- a poodle skirt, an iconic staple of the decade! (bologna and jack cheese)
- stack of records (black bean chips with jack cheese label)
The back row:
- jukebox tunes (strawberries with music notes bento picks)
- Elvis eats (peanut butter and banana sandwich)
- sock hop dance party (more music notes picks, on kiwi fruit pieces)
The poodle skirt was cut using a dress-shaped cookie cutter I bought years ago in a cute set from Williams-Sonoma. That set is long since retired, but this one is similar. The deformed poodle was made using a variety of itty bitty mini bento cutters I have collected over the years.
This muffin tin meal was devoured by Paige. She was especially happy about the poodle skirt. Not only is she a little clothes horse, but a couple months ago the Kindergarten celebrated their 50th day of school by having a 50's day. The kids dressed like it was the 50s and they even had their own sock hop party in the gym. She had fun remembering that day as she munched her way across this tin.
I made Paige's 50s Day outfit. The skirt was my first ever sewing project. I made the doggie on the skirt a dachshund instead of a poodle, since we are a dachshund family. :) I had joked on Instagram that I hoped it wouldn't fall apart at the seams, and as it turned out, it did. Haha! The skirt totally fell down to the ground during the sock hop and it was falling apart by the time she got home. Whoops!
Supplies used to make this muffin tin meal:

The show opens with Jenny and Trish sitting at the kitchen table talking. Trish says: Everyone is like asking me are you all excited about your date? Im not going to get all excited over ONE date (we learn why later). Yes, I had a fabulous time, yes, its going to be something Ill remember. (Oh really? So will Jesse be #31 or #36, hmmmmmm?) Do I like him? Yes, but at the end of the day I could be packing my bags and going home. (Yeah right, and aliens could swoop down from outer space and take you to their leader)
Jenny confesses to the camera that she wishes Jesse could see what she sees and hear what she hears. She will tell him everything that is important. To Trish she says True love starts with friendship first.
Trish responds, I get bored and laughs. (Wow, what an outlook this woman has, I am impressed already)
The first date box arrives, its for Suzie! (OMH, those screeches have got to stop, now I see what you mean Doc.) The box is full of film things and the card on it reads Join me for dinner and a movie, love Jesse (More crazy screaming, gawd I need to turn the volume down and just pick up the words via closed captioning.)
Evening comes and we see Jesse talking about his impending date, he is very excited and looking forward to some quality time. This is a very important week. There are 9 girls left and he needs to decide which one he is going to spend the rest of his life with. (Does anybody have a barf bag, my stomach doesnt feel so good all of a sudden.)
Confessional: Trish I think Im on a different level than Suzie is. Jesse is here looking for a woman to fit into life. I am elegant, professional, sophisticated, and NOT a blabbering idiot. (Um, can anybody fill me in as to the reason Trish is so delusional? Did she take some heavy drugs last week? I dont remember reading that in Docs summary
oh well.)
The limo arrives at the theater and on the marquee it says Welcome Jesse and Suzie. Suzie is thrilled to see her name in lights and to be on the arm of such a shallow hunk of a man. (OK, I added the word shallow, she didnt really say that, but seriously, isnt he?)
Jesse tells Suzie that the tests show that they are the most compatible of the whole group. He wasnt surprised when he read that either. (Wait, they mixed up the test results. Jesse is really most compatible with Lillian Morris of Survivor Pearl Islands, she has a scout troop and will take really good care of Jesse for the rest of his life. Somebody call the producer please.)
Meanwhile back at the house we have some good stuff heating up with the girls. They are all sitting around the living room playing a drinking game. The game is called Ive never and the rules are quite simple. One girl makes a statement Ive never done such and such and if you have done it, you drink. Sound simple? Good, lets play.
I never drank before I was 21 (I assume she means alcoholic beverages, or else someone was a very dehydrated child. Could explain the anorexia.)
Several people tip their glasses and drink, including Trish.
I never had sex while I was in college.
Trish drinks.
Ive never cheated on my boyfriend.
Trish drinks. Karen makes a face.
(You see the pattern forming here? Trish had better watch it or she will end up plastered like Rupert was on Survivor the other night)
Ive never had a 1 night stand with a man that I never talked to the guy again.
Trish drinks. (Several ohs and ahs from the virgins sitting around her.)
Trish finally speaks, laughing she says By the end of the night yall are not going to like me very much. (Maybe not, but men now know who to call for a good time)
Ive never had sex with more then one person in a day.
Trish gulps a few swigs of her grog, a few jaws drop.
Ive never had sex on a bathroom counter before.Trish drinking must be getting hold of her hearing, she asks for clarification wait, ON a bathroom counter, any counter? Yes
Trish drinks. Someone pipes in kitchen counter maybe and chuckles. Another comments Trish is going to get drunk, she hasnt lowered her glass in like 3 minutes
Ive never had sex with more people then I can count on one hand.
Trish drinks. Karen asks Trish did you just drink? Trish nods and grins.
Both hands?
Two hands and a foot?
Trish shouts You guys I have 7 extra years on most of you!
Wait, wait, answer the question, more then 2 hands and 2 feet? (See the whole game is down the tubs oops I mean tubes, nobody is playing now they are just asking Trish the questions and watching her chug.)
So how many?
Trish: Its not that I lost track or anything, its just that
You lost track. Jessica B finishes the sentence for her. (My what a whole room full of Neleh Dennis type girls, poor Trish, I feel bad for her the way they are going on and on and prying into her sex life like that)
Ok, so on it goes. They find out that in the whole list of play things she has had at least one indiscretion with a married man. The whole time this part of the conversation is taking place, all you see is a drunk Trish with the fire in the fireplace directly behind her which conjures images of her burning in hell.
Jessica B confesses: I was offended. I mean how could you ever sleep with somebody else husband? Its just not right. It really isnt, its just not frickin right. And she is PROUD of it, its sick. (Does Jessica know Eminem? Maybe she dated him because he was the lead singer in the band? In any case he is rubbing off on her, so she better frickin stop like talking to him or listening to him, you know?)
Jenny is equally disgusted: Everything that Trish said made me feel disgusted. I happen to be a wife and I know marriages fall apart constantly. (Marriages dont break up on account of infidelity, its just a symptom that something else is wrong. Sorry, I blatantly stole that line from my favorite movie When Harry Met Sally If you havent seen it yet, I highly recommend that you buy or rent it. In fact, it is similar to the bachelor in some ways, without all the girls screaming.) And I know that there are people that wreck marriages without even thinking about it. I see her as one of those people. Shes here and she wants to get married to my best friend? Just the ugliness that that is, makes me sick.

Macleans magazine has an interesting article on an emerging difference in agendas between British Columbia First Nations and environmental groups that had partnered with them on numerous protests against development on what at the time both groups considered to be environmentally sensitive areas.
Last month, the Squamish Nation okayed a controversial plan to erect a series of billboards on scenic native land. They weren't just any signboards, but 300-sq.-foot blinking, digital billboards to advertise cellphones and cars. Negative reaction to the planned signs—some of which are set to line the spectacular route to Whistler—was so visceral the band was forced to scale back the design. Its opponents, the Citizens for Responsible Outdoor Advertising, say they are having to take on the role of "guardians of mother nature"—a role traditionally played by their "Squamish neighbours."
Aboriginals are hardly the typical environmental bogeyman, but Squamish isn't the only band making environmentalists barking mad. Last month, Coast Tsimshian Resources, a fledgling Aboriginal logging company based in Terrace, B.C., began shipping western hemlock to China. The company, which recently harvested its millionth cubic metre, is already one of the largest licence holders in B.C., with another sale to China in the works, and it has handily given Canada's blighted logging industry a shot in the arm. But by exporting raw logs—so-called high-volume, low-value industrial forestry—it is igniting controversy. That the company is providing vital jobs and revenue to the Lax Kw'alaams First Nation hasn't done much to earn it the sympathy of environmentalists. They are "destroying forests, and jobs," says Wilderness Committee director Ken Wu; like the Sierra Club and ForestEthics, it supports a total ban on raw-log exports.
While the media was reporting how the environmental movement and First Nations were working hand in glove for a common cause, they were in fact using one another. The environmentalists were using the powerful image of the First Nations as being protectors of the land to achieve their goals of limiting or outright stopping logging in large areas of the province. At the same time, the First Nations were using the media skills of the environmentalists to promote their claims to ownership of, if not the land itself, at least the resources it held.
Fittingly, perhaps, the split between natives and greens began at Clayoquot Sound—where their marriage was celebrated a decade and a half ago. Environmentalists and the Nuu-chah-nulth, Clayoquot's five tribes, had united in 1993 to protect the ancient temperate rainforest from the industrial logging that had razed so much of Vancouver Island. And what an alliance it was. B.C.'s War in the Woods became an international cause célèbre—"one of the defining environmental battles of our time" according to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.—recording the largest protests in Canada's history, and over 800 arrests. Last year, however, when two Aboriginal logging firms, Iisaak Forest Resources and Ma-Mook-Coulson, began clearing logging roads into Clayoquot's undeveloped valleys, a powerful alliance of brand-name environmental NGOs including Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, the Wilderness Committee and ForestEthics banded together, threatening a return to its feted blockades. A truce has been called—but it is unlikely to hold for long. "Within a few years, we'll have to go into the pristine valleys," says Iisaak spokesperson Gary Johnsen. Otherwise, "neither company will survive."
It has always amazed me that the various environmental groups involved were so naive to not see this coming. Did they really believe that in the long run the First Nations leaders would maintain their alliance with a bunch of non-native, elitist activists? Or did they really believe that the long-term needs of First Nations would be satisfied by some back-to-the-land philosophy.
I wonder if the First Nation leaders of that time saw the eventual route that they would eventually take or whether they honestly bought into the preservation agenda of the environmental community and their successes there simply left them in a strong position to act independently when their new agenda became jobs and income streams.
The environmental community has said that they will fight the First Nation's resource extraction in areas that they fought to keep undeveloped. I suspect that they will not as successful fighting against them they were fighting with them. In fact, I would wager that they have lost that battle already.

They include a father and son team. Whiting introduces them to Taft City Council.
Chief of Police Ed Whiting introduced the newest members of the Taft Police Department to the Taft City Council Tuesday night.
For the first time in department history, there will be a father and son team working.
In fact, the family members – Doug Hallmark and son Erik – even teamed up on an arrest last week.
The Hallmarks are among a group of new officers added as the department fills vacancies and positions opened up by the addition of two school resource officer positions the city added.
Doug Hallmark is the SRO serving Taft Union High School. He was at the school last week when a man began breaking out the windows of his car with a flashlight. He ended up in a foot chase and brief struggle with the suspect, before the suspect fled again.
His son Erik, was one of the officers who caught up with the suspect, Maxwell West, a couple blocks away.
Doug Hallmark is a veteran law enforcement officer who rose to the rank of senior deputy in the Kern County Sheriff's Department. He left law enforcement before coming back to join the Taft Police Department recently.
Erik Hallmark is also a graduate of the Kern County Sheriff's Academy and has worked for the KCSO as an extra help deputy. He is still in field training.
The other new officers include:
•Mike Miller, who comes to the Taft Police Department with experience in the Kern County High School District Police and the Arvin Police Department.
•Rommel Bautista has 10 years of experience with the Delano Police Department and has also worked with the FBI Gang Task Force. In addition, he is in the United States Army Reserve and had done tours of duty in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
•Moises Martinez is serving as the SRO for the Taft City School District and was the investigating officer in the high-profile case of the two-year-old Taft girl who ingested methamphetamine.

Tick, tock. Uncle Sam's April 15 deadline for your 2012 return is looming, and you aren't nearly ready to file? Now could be the time to come up with a backup plan. Fortunately, the Internal Revenue Service has some sympathy for procrastinators: The paperwork for filing an extension is simple, and it will keep the feds off your back all the way until Oct. 15, 2013. In other words, the IRS will give you an automatic six-month extension.
Now, for some folks, once you've completed the exercise of coming up with an estimate, you might as well just go ahead and file your taxes. But if your taxes are complicated or if you're still waiting for information you need to complete your return, filing for an extension can be a major stress reducer.
Approval of your extension application is automatic, as long as the estimate of your 2012 tax bill is "reasonable." (You'll be OK if your estimate was accurate based on the information you had at the time.) Just keep in mind, you'll be charged interest (currently at a 3% annual rate) on any outstanding balance until you file your return and cough up the remaining part you owe. If your estimate is off, you'll also be charged a 0.5% a month "failure-to-pay" penalty.
If you're still interested in extending, you must notify the IRS that you want an extension by the April 15, 2013, deadline. You can do this by filling out Form 4868 (Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return), which you can download from the IRS web site.

Thanks to Blazin' Saddles for the chance to speak to his legions of loyal and passionate cycling fans via Yahoo!/Eurosport today. Being interviewed by B.S. ranks right next to being referenced in As the Toto Turns on the personal cool factor, and I genuinely do feel honored to have been featured in the Yahoo!-Eurosport world.
If you're a Twittering-type, you can follow Saddles on www.twitter.com/saddleblaze as well as me at www.twitter.com/joepabike.
And now is probably as good a time as any for me to let you know that Phil Anderson and I collaborated on a short documentary that can be viewed online through Vimeo. It's been described as "brutal, honest and thought provoking particularly in the wake of landis' admissions and allegations" - but I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it yet! I feel uncomfortable seeing myself on camera for more than a few minutes, but I'll crack some day and will screen it. No need for you to wait, though! Here it is:
Joe Papp Interview from Phil Anderson on Vimeo.
"Exclusive interview with former professional bike racer, Joe Papp who raced on the international circuit winning many races before testing positive for doping in 2006 and ultimately admitting his guilt. In this interview he talks about his upbringing, getting into racing, and doping, testifying at Floyd Landis hearing, and a stunning revelation about his personal life."

Chain of Custody
PEFC's Chain of Custody certification is a mechanism for tracking certified material from the forest to the final product to ensure that the wood, wood fibre or non-wood forest produce contained in the product or product line can be traced back to certified forests.
It is an essential part of the PEFC system which ensures that claims about products originating in sustainably managed forests are credible and verifiable throughout the whole supply chain. It is used to certify entities all along the value-chain of forest-based products
The acquisition of Chain of Custody certification reinforces the sustainability commitments of businesses. It provides companies with a commercial advantage as it allows them to use the PEFC logo on products, making them the preferred choice especially for responsible consumers.
Recent data by PEFC International shows a growing interest by companies in Chain of Custody certification and of their customers in procuring wood-based products responsibly, with a current growth rate of more than 30% per year.
Chain of Custody certification is carried out by accredited certification bodies that verify compliance of the wood flow accounting system applied by an enterprise complies with PEFC's International Chain of Custody Standard.
All bodies certifying on behalf of PEFC meet the requirements for certification bodies defined by International Standardisation Organisation (ISO) standards.
There are two mechanisms for tracing the origins of forest-based products, tailored to the situation and needs of certified companies.
- The percentage based method – this mechanism allows mixing certified and non-certified raw material during the production or trading process. However the percentage of the certified raw material must be known and communicated to the company's customers (average percentage).
Alternatively, the company can sell as certified the proportion of its production which equals the percentage of certified raw material used (volume credit).
- The physical separation method – this mechanism requires separating certified and non-certified raw material during all phases of the company's production/trading process to ensure that certified raw material is not mixed with non-certified raw material.
When the physical separation method is used for products with percentage-based claims, every delivery must be processed or traded separately.
To prevent wood from controversial sources (illegal logging) finding its way into products, PEFC has put in place a stringent safeguard mechanism for the avoidance of raw material from controversial sources.
The mechanism is a compulsory part of PEFC's Chain of Custody standard and puts in place safety checks such as risk analyses, external assessments and onsite inspections to ensure the legality of the uncertified wood. These safeguard checks are scrutinized by the independent certifiers during their annual audits and provide companies with a "double safeguard measure" for their procurement.
The Chain of Custody standard specifies as controversial sources those activities that do not comply with local, national, or international legislation, in particular relating to the following areas:
- forestry operations and harvesting, including conversion of forest to other uses;
- management of areas with high environmental and cultural values designed and covered by the legislation;
- protected and endangered species, including requirements of CITES;
- health and labour issues relating to forest workers;
- property, tenure and use rights of indigenous peoples;
- payment of taxes and royalties; and
- areas utilizing genetically modified organisms.
Implementation of the necessary mechanisms within a company to ensure compliance with PEFC's International Chain of Custody Standard requires detailed management systems in line with firmly established and globally implemented standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001.

Devious: Now then, vic. What's the trouble?
Vicar: It's about this letter you sent me regarding my insurance claim.
Devious: Oh, yeah, yeah - well, you see, it's just that we're not...as yet...totally satisfied with the grounds of your claim.
Vicar: But it says something about filling my mouth in with cement.
Devious: Oh well, that's just insurance jargon, you know.
Vicar: But my car was hit by a lorry while standing in the garage and you refuse to pay my claim.
Devious: (rising and crossing to a filing cabinet) Oh well, reverend Morrison...in your policy...in your policy...(he open the drawer of the filing cabinet and takes out a shabby old sports jacket; he feels in the pocket and pulls out a crumbled dog-eared piece of paper then puts the coat back and shuts the filing cabinet)...here we are. It states quite clearly that no claim you make will be paid.
Vicar: Oh dear.
Devious: You see, you unfortunately plumped for our 'Neverpay' policy, which, you know, if you never claim is very worthwhile...but you had to claim, and, well, there it is.
Vicar: Oh dear, oh dear.
Devious: Still, never mind - could be worse. How's the nude lady?
Vicar: Oh, she's fine. (he begins to sob)
Devious: Look...Rev...I hate to see a man cry, so shove off out the office, there's a good chap.

Of the language Common Lisp, i find the worst flaw it's type system. For instance, +,-,/,* are functions, not methods. You can't extend them with:
- Code: Select all
(defmethod + ((a vector) (b vector))
(let ((len (min (length a) (length b)))
(out (make-array (list len))))
(do ((i 0 (+ i 1))) ((>= i len) out) (setf (aref out i) (+ (aref a i) (aref b i))))
These operators seem to arbitrarily be different to then the regular functions.
Note also that the type could not handle the length of the vectors. You either need to let lisp store length explicitly, or make a new object for each length. Then, lisp also has to look up the length. In this case lisp might optimize this, but the user does not have confidence that it will. Furthermore, there are cases where some elements of a struct/class is 'eql' to something, and The object should be treated like that; not checking around what that object is, not dragging the data around.
So how to fix this? Since common lisp does not have these types itself, macros can't do it.(Besides ones that practically create a whole new language.) I suggest functional types; types depending on arguments, which are defined with (basically) one macro which takes arguments as following:
- Code: Select all
(struct name (&rest arguments) &rest elements)
Where elements are: (element-name element-type &rest other-stuff-here) Where for the other stuff i think stuff like :initform, :derive(pass on functions to take this argument instead of the whole struct, class derivation-like) :reader, :writer,: accessor. Maybe :set :get functions that replace ordenary getting and setting.
Types are written with s-expressions, any symbol that is not the first element of a list is a variable in it. Some types have to be defined as atoms, like (int64), (int32), (ptr of-type), (eql 3)
For instance, with this you make a list with the following:
- Code: Select all
(struct listnode (item-tp)
(item item-tp)
(next (ptr(list-node item-tp))))
Functions are all overload(able), chosen by using the function that matches with the most specific type. As you might know, that this is ambiguous by itself, you also need a preference. The preference is used when two functions are applicable with equal specificness, you choose the one with the more specific part leftmost, the earlier argument of a type.
Of course, if you have function overloading, you can choose macros the same way, caveit is that the macro might change the result.
I should say more about specificness and how it is defined. Unmodified, A is more general then B if the variables in A can be set in such a way that the results equals B. However, for some things there are modifications, like (any) which is more general then anything else. (number) and other numbers.
Another override i would like is conversion functions, which would make A more general then B if it can be converted as well. However, i have not succeeded at this yet, currently the generality of numbers is 'manual', like (any).
A simple example of a function in lang-lisp:
- Code: Select all
(defun sqr :define-as-needed ((x (number))) (* x x))
Here :define-as-needed means that it will create a new function in binary for each type of number it means. if it is (int32) it will produce (int32), (safe-int32) or maybe (safe (int32)) could be used if you want to prevent overflows.(So types can take over the role of optimisation of code upto an extent as well) I am still unsure about numbers in general, maybe i need to use intervals in types of numbers. (That way the user can also give more info on the functions; to which intervals they map; for instance [a,b] maps to [0, max(abs(a),abs(b))^2])
All in all, i have to admit that i still need to figure this out more. I think typed lambda calculus might help, i think i will try learn about it. Also making some proofs of stuff in the hopes of clarifying things for myself and just for being a fancypants.
So i would like to hear some responses on the idea of types, and what it would take for a language to be efficient and able to change to many forms by adding libraries.
PS been a little slow on my lang-lisp project lately because i was messing with a loop/iterate -like macro. I should kill the ideas i had on how to do the macro with fire, i might try make a post about that on my conclusion. (And macros with ideas regarding a loop-like macro.)

After years of war and civil unrest, peace and elections have given Sierra leone's journalists a new set of issues to face.
Freetown, Sierra Leone--On a blistering afternoon in May, just days before Sierra Leone's first general elections since the end of its decade-long civil war, Freetown, the country's wrecked capital of tin shanties and crumbling houses, is in the throes of political campaigning. Throngs of citizens, some sporting T-shirts adorned with party slogans, race up and down the crowded streets chanting their candidates' virtues. Cars and buses honk in strident unison; music blares from all directions, and barefoot boys in threadbare clothes hawk piles of newspapers in heavy traffic.
But on the fourth floor of a dank, dilapidated building downtown, Paul Kamara, the founding editor of For Di People, the leading independent daily in this impoverished West African nation, is preoccupied by a wholly different set of issues. "The printer is not working," he sighs. "Yesterday it was the main computer and before that it was the printing press that did not work. But that we can live with," Kamara quips. "The most difficult to put up with is political interference."
In fact, the desire to thwart unwanted interference with the flow of information has led a surprising number of reporters here to seek political office. As a result, in the days prior to the May vote, casual debates on journalistic ethics fill the slow-news hours in the dimly lighted, sweltering rooms of unpainted brick walls and antiquated computers that serve as newsrooms here. Although most local reporters agree that government-media relations have improved since the end of the civil conflict, they know that myriad other problems linger--problems that hit at the very heart of the media's identity.
In all, 12 journalists ran for the 124 Parliament seats that were open during the May general elections. And former Voice of America (VOA) correspondent Raymond Bamidele Thompson unsuccessfully sought to unseat President Ahmed Tejah Kabbah. While many in the Freetown press corps see no conflicts of interest in their colleagues' bids for office, veteran newsman Kamara cautions against compromising the already shaky credibility of the local media. "As journalists, we have more latitude to engage politicians," he observes. "If we start doing the politicians' job, who will be there to inform the people?"
Journalism, Kamara insists, should be a vocation, "a service to the people," and not a jumping board into the political class. A former priest, Kamara says he decided to call his newspaper For Di People to stress that journalists in Africa's emerging democracies have a duty to be "the voice of the powerless" and the vanguard in the fight against official misconduct. Rampant government corruption and disregard for basic rights are widely perceived to be among the root causes of Sierra Leone's civil strife, which broke out in 1991 and claimed more than 50,000 lives. Therefore, essential human rights such as freedom of expression, Kamara argues, will remain but distant aspirations if members of the press give in to the dubious glamour of political power.
But Mohamed Koroma, a columnist for the private weekly African Champion who failed to secure a seat in Parliament, disagrees. He says that he chose to run because "having journalists in Parliament would be a better service to the struggle for freedom of expression than a thousand editorials deploring the lack of it." Koroma is adamant in his belief that "a politician cannot be a good journalist but a good journalist has a great potential to become an excellent politician."
Other reporters, who, like Koroma, aspire to become lawmakers, apparently share his confidence. Cherno Ojuku-Sessay, an editor at the independent weekly Pool who ran for Parliament, and lost, on the ticket of the small Peace and Liberation Party (PLP), recalled joining the electoral fray at the behest of his readers. "Our readers suggested I run because they believe that as a critic of the system, I have a better sense of what needs to be done," he says.
This foray into politics is only one of the many examples that highlight the Sierra Leonian media's search for a new purpose. Frank Kposowa, former president of the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists explains that since authorities loosened licensing restrictions in the early 1980s, he has witnessed what he calls an onslaught of "fly-by-night operations" run by people with uncertain journalistic credentials. This atmosphere has helped swell the number of newspapers to almost 50 in 2000--up from just a dozen three years earlier. This in a country whose illiteracy rate tops 70 percent.
Of course, Sierra Leone has had bigger problems to deal with than the state of its media. The country's civil war, which pitted the government of President Kabbah against the rebel Revolutionary United Front (RUF), headed by Foday Sankoh, ravaged the country. In January 1999, the RUF invaded Freetown, a frenzy of slaughter that lasted three weeks and was chillingly dubbed "Operation Kill Every Living Thing."
Hannah Fullah, a 29-year-old broadcaster at the pro-government 98.1 FM radio station, recalls those harrowing weeks with a resigned smile. "I spent most of that time at the station, burning over 14 hours daily on the air, encouraging government troops and advising civilians on the rebels' movements," she says. "The station had become an active fighter, staunchly against the RUF rebels who let it be known that they would kill me if they found me."
A ragtag alliance of West African peacekeepers, loyalist troops, and traditional hunters finally pushed the invaders into retreat, but not until thousands of Freetown residents had been murdered--including eight local journalists.
Both Kabbah's government and the RUF targeted journalists. In all, 15 reporters were killed during the 10-year war, including three foreign correspondents. The RUF alone is responsible for 13 of those deaths, according to CPJ data.
Today, despite frequent United Nations warnings that a new round of bloodletting remains possible, life in Sierra Leone is slowly inching back to normalcy. The RUF has conceded defeat and has disclosed its weapon caches to international peacekeepers. Rebel leader Sankoh, in government custody since May 2000, is now facing trial for his staggering record of human rights abuses. What's more, a truth commission and a special court will soon help close the wounds of the war. Economic recovery is lagging, but Western powers have vowed to assist in rebuilding basic infrastructure and to infuse cash into the mineral-rich country.
Although the government may be staying out of the media's way more often these days, the African Champion's Koroma argues that greed, selfishness, and a poor sense of the media's role in a democracy count among the most pressing issues he and his colleagues face. "The government leaves us alone these days. But nothing seems to have changed at all. Sleazy reports on the lives of politicians continue to fill the papers. We [journalists] are not talking on behalf of the people, we are still oblivious of their views."
Other members of the Freetown press corps cite their own vulnerability to bribe taking and influence peddling as major hurdles to achieving real independence from the various groups competing for power in the tiny West African nation. The Pool's Ojuku-Sessay, for one, is emphatic that political bias in the press endures and is becoming more blatant. "Many so-called independent newspapers are actually funded by political groups," he charges. "Corruption among journalists is endemic."
Ojuku-Sessay adds that the perception that local journalists are corrupt, a view justified by barefaced editorial bias in some papers and backstabbing among colleagues, is the reason he decided to resign from his job for six months to seek a parliamentary seat. As part of his campaign, he called for increased press freedom and freedom of expression. According to Ojuku-Sessay, that only one of the dozen reporters vying for Parliament--Standard Times writer Mohamed Kandeh Kakay--ultimately succeeded reveals just how suspicious Sierra Leoneans are of the media.
Most agree, however, that the media covered the May elections well. Equal access to public media, often a bone of contention in African elections, caused little antagonism between the various political parties. In fact, in Freetown newsrooms, the view is widespread that the state broadcaster, Sierra Leone Broadcasting Service (SLBS), did its best job to date.
All 10 presidential candidates were granted equal access to the airwaves "for the first time in the history of this country," says Ahmed Tejanie, a sound engineer at SLBS. And reporters covering presidential hopefuls on the campaign trail were rotated from party to party on a weekly basis to avoid close relationships with the candidates.
Andrew Koroma, who created Sierra Leone's first independent radio station, also rejoices at the fact that, with the May general elections, "history has been written" for local media. Koroma, who occasionally strings for VOA, says that without a strong media promoting fair coverage of the candidates, party activists could have turned to fists and stones to decide the elections.
For now, that's progress. "Journalism in this part of the world is not easy," says For Di People's Paul Kamara, who, having survived several assassination attempts during the 1990s, knows of what he speaks. "Once you choose to [pursue journalism], you have to brace yourself for all sorts of obstacles."
Fortunately for Kamara, at this moment, his only obstacle is a busted printer.

In a recent survey we conducted, it turned out the DBAs are mostly ignoring security patches. Two thirds of the DBAs have never applied a CPU and only about 10% of them are applying CPUs in a timely fashion. After releasing the survey, we had some interesting responses in online publications and blogs which I would like to address in this post.
Response number 1 – Lies, damned lies, and statistics
The survey is made up, we asked the wrong questions, we did not understand the answers and my favorite – the survey contacted only lazy DBAs between at home between 1PM and 3PM.
Well, let me set the record straight here – the rolling survey was conducted in face to face OUG meetings – 14 different ones across the US, anywhere from 10 people in a room to 45 people. We did not select who was invited or who attended. These were OUG members who chose to attend our sessions. If anything, I would say these were people rather more interested in database security than the average.
We asked two questions –
1) Have you installed the latest Oracle CPU? (actually, since some meetings where right after the CPU we've asked about the latest 2 CPUs).
2) Have you ever installed an Oracle CPU?
You can find the actual answers in the survey itself. I should add that the results were quite similar across the different OUG meetings.
I can relate to this disbelief in the results. It sounds amazing that the most important assets of the organization are left un-patched especially after so many publicized incidents. But those in the know already knew this.
Response number 2 – DBAs are just lazy
Well, as a former DBA for many years I definitely do not insinuate that DBAs are lazy. The simple fact is that they just have too much working against them when trying to apply the CPUs:
1. The need to test all applications using the database is a heavy burden
2. Oracle supports only the latest patchsets
3. The lack of application vendor certification of the CPUs
4. The simple fact that it takes a huge amount of work to manually shutdown the database and apply the patch in an organization running hundreds if not thousands of instances
5. For production critical databases you have to consider maintenance windows which might come once a year
6. The lack of understanding by some IT security personnel of the severity of the problem simply does not generate enough pressure in the organization – please see Rich Mogull's excellent post on this topic.
All in all, I know of companies that analyze and deploy CPUs as soon as three months after release but those companies are very few and usually have budgets in the millions for such things…
Response number 3 – Yeah, we all knew that is the case
I know, I knew it as well being a DBA and all. But I always thought that DBAs at least deploy the patches after testing them. We are talking about severe vulnerabilities. Some of them are remotely exploitable without credentials.
A final remark – as always in security – use common sense:
1) Install only what you use, don't install features you are not going to use and remove them if installed by default – many vulnerabilities are in rarely used components like Oracle Spatial, etc.
2) Use the least privilege principle – give the minimum permissions required for the task – every permission can be used to attack the database (create view, create procedure, etc.). Many packages can be used for an attack. Lock them down.
3) Check for default and weak passwords – there are many tools out there. Check after every patch as there were cases it restored default accounts.
4) Secure the network – use firewalls, valid node checking, etc.
5) Use secure coding – bind variables, bind variables, bind variables.
There are many white papers out there talking about Oracle security…

I was reading some of the comments you gals left and its amazing how many similar goals people have for the New Year – losing weight (includes me), spending less (me also), achieving school or work goals (me, me, me!).
It may be the New Year but that doesn't mean I can't get a package! This doesn't count from this year's spending contingency because I bought it in 2008. Yeah!
Another one of my resolutions is to take care of my skin. I can be lazy and I don't always put eye cream on or moisturize, I don't always take all my mascara off or even my make up.
Whilst I splashed out on La Mer creams, I don't want to spend too much on cleansing products. I am pretty devoted to my RMK Cleansing Oil (the best I have tried), especially for heavy make up removal, and I love my extensive Nars skincare goodies, but I always want to try something new.
I've heard a lot about Liz Earle, but I thought it was a bit – dare I say it – Avony? Their cleanser, Cleanse & Polish has a lot of rave reviews and is only £12.00 for 100mls.
I got the cleanser, the toner, gentle exfoliator and a antiseptic oil/stick think. It also comes with 2 muslin cloths.
It came to about £40 for everything, so a good price.
How to use the cleanser:
Fill a basin with hand-hot water.
Apply 1 or 2 pumps of Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser onto dry skin and use your fingertips to gently massage the cream over your face and neck. Work in circular movements from the centre of your face outwards. Massage over your eyelids and eyelashes last to avoid spreading eye makeup over your face.
Rinse the pure muslin cloth in hand-hot water and wring it out so it's damp, not wet.
Use the muslin cloth to wipe off the cream using a clean section for each part of your face. Place a single finger inside the cloth to thoroughly clean more awkward areas such as around the nose. Be gentle around your eye zone when removing eye make-up. Rinse the cloth thoroughly during cleansing.
Rinse your skin in cool water and carefully pat dry using a soft towel. Rinse the muslin cloth thoroughly and allow it to air dry naturally.
Follow this routine morning and night then use Instant Boost Skin Tonic before massaging in Skin Repair Moisturiser to finish.
Muslin cloth care: To keep your cloths fresh and clean pop into a 40° white wash after every 2 uses, allow to air dry naturally.
It's similar to the Eve Lom type cleansers that require a muslin cloth – to me its a bit like using a flannel, which of course I always used to use, like a good Chinese girl.
For the toner:
Instant Boost Skin Tonic is the essential second stage of your daily regime:
Moisten a cotton wool pad and sweep over face and neck every morning and night after cleansing with Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser. This tones, brightens and hydrates your skin; follow by gently massaging in Skin Repair Moisturiser.
Apply this light floral tonic to revitalise skin and add moisture after using one of our Special Treatment masks. Whether your skin is dehydrated, oily, dull or congested, the nourishing and brightening botanicals will help to leave your skin feeling soft and looking fresh for longer. It also primes your skin perfectly for Skin Repair Moisturiser.
Try our spritzer after towel-drying skin to refresh yourself all over and boost moisture levels. Ideal for use after showering, bathing or swimming, wait for a minute before massaging in Nourishing Botanical Body Cream to help 'seal in' moisture.
Firstly – the cleanser is a very thick cream:
That's fine for me – these textures I find can really lift of the make up and any sticky products. It's non irritating and softening, although the smell…its hard to place. I know Liz Earle puts a lot of importance of good quality products and lots of herbal ingredients – personally there is something in the scent I don't like. I don't hate it, but I don't look forward to putting it on my face either.
The cream is super thick but comes off easily with the hot cloth – my skin does feel nice and soft – it looked whiter afterwards – is this good or bad? I'm not sure. Maybe I had 10 layers of grime that never came off!
The large muslin cloths:
I had high hopes for this toner as one of my favourite toners, EVER was just good old plain rosewater from Neils Yard. This I thought is in the same vein – it's just like water texture wise and left my skin a bit red, but clean. BUT – I hate the smell. Its floral but once again, theres something there I can't stand. I really dislike the smell. I can bring myself to use it, but it isn't at all pleasant.
I must be stupid because I thought the exfoliator – being gentle, would be grain free? Or have slight grains, this is more of a proper scrub. I used it after cleanser and once again, its very thick, but it works well enough as a scrub. I do like my Shu Uemura Scrub a bit more, because the bits disappear as you rub.
This product was about £12 for 70ml – it's fine but its not a high tech or special scrub like the other ones I have tried.
This is the antiseptic oil. I liked the idea of this because its not just for spots, but for grazes, burns, bites etc. and I do have a higher than average skin allergy, er, rate. This is a mixture of the usual oils, tea tree, lavender – all antiseptic and quite a handy little roll if you ask me. £7.
I'll let you know how I get on! I am trying to finish my beauty products this year, rather than gathering more and more things so I don't see a good reason not to finish the range off. But I can't say its instant love.
However, here's something I went out and bought 400mls of:
Elemis Skin Nourishing Milk Bath –
Now THIS is how to scent something. It's a beautiful slight vanilla, milk, almond, honey, monoi scent. It's gorgeous but I don't use it as a bath liquid, I use it as a body moisturiser after a wash. My skin is lovely now!

Isn't she cute in tutu? This is very easy to make! No need for a sewing machine to make one.
I've been meaning to make some tutus for Ykaie and my other nieces since last year. I finally bought different colors of tulles for 20 pesos/yard. I was able to use 2 yards for this tutu. Here's How I made it.
I chose lavender and lime green color combo for this one.
I measured Ykaie's waist then cut the elastic and hand sewn the ends to form a waistband. You can also use elastic headbands for this.
I measured how long I want the tutu and doubled it. You have to double the length measured because you are going to fold each strip into half when tying onto the waistband.
I folded the tulle in half, then folded in half again. I just kept folding. It's easier to cut strips this way. It's up to you how wide you want the strips to be.
I tied each strip onto the waistband using Cow hitch knot. Just check out the site for clear illustrations of tying a cow hitch knot. I just kept on tying all the way around.
Here's the finished product!
And here's Ykaie wearing her first tutu.

Changes in Wayland pricing, course schedule to help concurrent students
Wayland Baptist University's Plainview campus is changing its prices and course schedule beginning in the fall semester to better accommodate Plainview High School students enrolled concurrently.
The university voted recently to use budgeted monies from the Plainview Educational Partnership program - which currently allows Plainview High graduates who qualify to attend Wayland tuition-free for the first year - to help offset costs for concurrent students.
According to Plainview president Dr. Paul Armes, the university-budget funds will serve as a scholarship of sorts, lowering the current one-third tuition rate for concurrents to a flat $75 per course charge.
"What we hope to do is to introduce more local students to Wayland and then maybe they will go into the full PEP program," Armes said. "The on-campus experience is so valuable. I would think for a high school junior or senior it would be a benefit."
According to Stan DeMerritt, university registrar, the revised schedule adapts more to the high school's block schedule and allows more students to work concurrent classes into their school day. Wayland's morning classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays worked because of their shorter times, which allowed students to commute between the schools and not miss class time.
Hope English, secondary advanced academic services coordinator for the Plainview school district, said the changes could very well mean more students taking advantage of the program to earn college credit while fulfilling high school requirements.
"We do have a lot of kids participating in concurrent enrollment," English said. "We've averaged about 30-35 kids but they're pretty locked to the high school schedules. Band is in the morning, and the block schedule limits what they can do."
The new class time schedule is as follows:
Monday-Wednesday-Friday: 8-8:50 a.m., 9-9:50 a.m., 10-10:50 a.m., 11-11:50 a.m.
Tuesday-Thursday: 7:25-8:40 a.m., 8:50-10:05 a.m., 10:15-11:30 a.m.
Monday-Wednesday & Tuesday-Thursday: 12:20-1:35 p.m., 1:45-3 p.m., 3:10-4:25 p.m., 4:35-5:50 p.m.
