What constitutes a habit? And once a habit is formed, what turns it into a "bad" habit? I shop for cosmetics pretty much everyday. Sometimes I just window shop and sometimes I only buy a $2 lip gloss, but I'm always looking, always ready to pick up my newest favorite mascara. As a confirmed cosmoholic, I ask this of you others out there: Is this a problem? Tell us:

The ongoing struggle over the Keystone XL pipeline underscores a real sea change in how legislative decisions are now being made. Suddenly we see that a well-integrated grassroots initiative driven by superior digital strategies can trump the conventional inside-the-Beltway politicking of even so formidable a presence as the oil industry.
Indeed, a quick glance at the first page of a February 15 Google search for the words "Keystone XL pipeline" tells quite a story. Of the fourteen links featured on Google at that moment, only one – a posting by the American Enterprise Institute – unequivocally advocates for the project. We did not find the American Petroleum Institute (API) represented on this key page at that precipitate moment.
Seven – half the links there – were from advocacy groups spearheading the impassioned opposition, and the rest were mostly neutral. At such a crucial moment in the Senate debate over the fate of the TransCanada pipeline intended to daily transport 800,000 barrels of oil from Alberta to Texas refineries, you'd think Keystone advocates would be more fully engaged in managing their own narrative on the Internet.
By contrast, one doesn't even need to read the opposition's content to get their point. Viewers can simply peruse the links. They'll see phraseology like "cut through" and "inject" from the National Wildlife Federation to suggest potential environmental infection. Nor are visitors likely to miss a conspicuous suggestion that Keystone will greatly increase the chance of another BP-type spill.
The grassroots campaign mounted by the NGOs is equally effective for its messaging and for how they've ensured that that messaging stays viral. By "messaging," I don't just mean specific arguments against Keystone. Equally important is the implicit message that the campaign has indeed caught fire; that it is a force to be reckoned with; and that vox populi is being clearly and persistently heard.
The collective unified position is conveyed in at least two ways. First, it's not just the Sierra Club and Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) that are carrying the water. Groups like the Center for Biological Diversity and others like Tar Sands Action, formed especially for this cause, are equally prominent on the aforementioned Google page. Everyone is in on the act and, in numbers, there is strength.
Second, the NGOs have taken specific action, seizing on their Internet dominance to generate impressive volumes of protests and petitions. Media coverage has fixated on the petition angle, which, in turn, reinforces perceptions that the anti-Keystone movement is inexorable and unstoppable.
One report says 350,000 signatures have been gathered while another says an additional 150,000 were achieved in a "fraction" of the time the NGOs allotted for doing so. According to an NRDC blog, 800,000 messages have been sent thus far. The Center for Biological Diversity even lists the names of almost 25,000 signatories.
Celebrities like Robert Redford and Kyra Sedgwick have joined the fray, working with the NGOs to coordinate the petitioning. There are exhortations from Redford to "be the solution. Send a message!" Not surprisingly, the NGOs are thriving in the social media. NRDC is making shrewd use of Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube by striking a balance between Keystone and its other priorities, keeping Keystone front and center but never exhausting reader interest in the topic.
There's either a tsunami here or the appearance of one – no matter, both can suffice to sway on-the-fence legislators. But what has the oil industry, long so fabled for effective government relations, done to counter the blitz? What has it done to leverage its position at a point in time when President Obama and Democratic legislators may still be vulnerable on the jobs issue, and when organized labor might not welcome the impact on jobs of further delay or of killing Keystone altogether?
API, via a group called "Energy Tomorrow," is running AdWords that include criticism of Obama for putting politics above jobs. It links to a blog post, "Mr. President, What Are You Thinking?" which simply lacks a call to action. That is precisely the salient strategic difference between the two sides in their approach to this issue.
While the NGOs mobilize nearly a million people outside their own immediate ranks, the oil industry snipes at the President. While the NGOs act, the oil industry talks.

Subject as ever to any mood swings in the long-dated Treasury bond market, mortgage rates ticked higher this week.
Freddie Mac's (FMCC) latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey shows the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate poked its head above the 3.5% level for the first time since September, rising to 3.53% in the week ended Jan. 31. That's up from 3.42% a week ago and just a shade below the 3.55% mark registered immediately before the Federal Reserve announced its QE3-branded open-ended mortgage-bond purchase program in September. The record low is 3.31%, recorded the week of November 21, and a year ago the rate stood at 3.87%.
The move comes as Treasury rates trended higher last week, with the 30-year Treasury bond yield at 3.197% at day-end Wednesday, up from 3.028% a week earlier.
The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage rate rose too, to 2.81% from 2.71%, above the record-low 2.63% seen in November but down from 3.14% a year ago.
Treasury yields are already falling again Thursday, however: the 30-year bond is up 11/32 in price to yield 3.178%, and the 10-year note is up 4/32 to push its yield back below 2% to 1.992, per Tradeweb data.

A Duck that Trucks (video)
There are hundreds of videos made every day about unusual pets. This one is different. It's a story about a duck-hunting trucker who bought himself a duck-hunting dog. But the dog wouldn't hunt. So he bought a duck instead, who quickly became the family pet. He had a particular affection for the trucker and was distraught when the trucker left every morning to go to work. One day he jumped in the cab and invited himself along. It became his daily routine.
The video shows the duck and his trucker dad going about their rounds. The duck supervises the work, and gets admiring attention from passers by.

This weekend, I am making the trip back to Jordan. I'm very familiar with this journey because in the last 2 years I have made it at least 3 times. One could say that I am an "expert" traveler. This trip is a little different. I am not only moving back to Jordan but also getting married in the next 6 months. (Yeah, I'm still in shock!) Since I have decided to wisely or unwisely buy my dress in the US. I have to carry it with me to Jordan.
I being the stubborn person I am who also happens to hate direct flights have oh so smartly decided to book a flight with a layover. You must ask now, did you buy your wedding dress first or the flight? Well, I bought my wedding dress first. Yep, I'm a winner. I feel that this is similar to the who came first question..The chicken or the egg, which scientists have solved. It's the chicken. So, I will equate my wedding dress with the chicken. People have worn wedding dresses before flying.
BUT since I do call myself an "expert" traveler, why didn't I realize that traveling with a wedding dress would be difficult? That is a good question that I have yet to answer.
Maybe I just need a little drama when I travel, make the trip more exciting…or just frustrating. I'm sure this will be a good story to tell when it's all said and done but for now, it's a huge worry.
Who will win? I'm not sure. I do hope it's me and the wedding dress but I can't be sure.
I say bring it on TSA, Airline people and anyone who will be in the way of me and my wedding dress!

Crunch Time For Big Blue: #1 Seed On The Line Vs. CarolinaDecember 20, 2008
All Text and Photos © Dave Turner 2008
The last two weeks were certainly the worst two weeks that the Giants have suffered since the middle of last season.
Ineptitude on offense, accompanied by a defense that couldn't make a big stop when needed resulted in two painful losses to both of the Giants biggest rivals. There is usually nothing more disheartening than losing twice in consecutive weeks to the Eagles and Cowboys, but for the Giants they can put that all behind them in a big way with a win on Sunday night.
One would expect due to the way that both teams are playing that Carolina would certainly have the edge in this one. They are coming off of a huge Monday night win over Tampa Bay and a blowout win over Denver. The silver lining? Both of those games for Carolina were at home, and away from home they are just 3-3.
They have all the momentum in the world, but that can work against a team sometimes in a big game if they come out and let their emotions get to them. Is this Panthers team as good as advertised? Yes, in some ways I think they are. I also think that there are ways to stop this team on defense, as well as ways to score on them. The question is, will the Giants be able to exploit those weaknesses?
When the Giants have the ball:
The first touchdown will be huge for the Giants. They need to score early not only to prove to themselves that they can put the ball in the endzone when it matters, but also to keep the fans in it.
I would assume that the Giants faithful will be pretty edgy after the last two weeks, and the fans need to be a factor all game. Big Blue should have some success against the Panthers running the ball, but a big factor will be if they can get the passing game going to keep the Panthers from dropping another player into the box. If Domenik Hixon doesn't play it will further hurt the Giants ability to pass.
They will need to rely heavily on Steve Smith to move the chains. The biggest thing the Giants need to accomplish is getting yardage on first and second downs. There will be a desire to pass on first downs in order to keep the Panthers off balance, but really there is nothing more the Giants can do to make their third downs easier than getting at least five yards between first and second downs.
Converting third and longs are not only harder to do because of the yardage, but it also gives more time for the defense to get pressure. On a third and say three or four, Eli Manning can take a quick drop and fire the ball, whereas a third and eight or nine he must go through a full drop back and look further down field. Manageable third downs will eliminate Julius Peppers and also make it easier to use all the routes in the playbook.
The running game needs to get going, and get going early. Who knows how well Brandon Jacobs will move, but he will need to grind out the tough yards. I really think that in his absence the Giants realized just how important he is. Jacobs wears down the defense, and can make holes out of nothing.
If Jacobs has a big day, it could be the difference. I would also like to see the Giants throw more to the running backs. If Derrick Ward and Ahmad Bradshaw can get open on the release, it will not only take away a linebacker from a possible blitz, but opens up the middle of the field more if they have to commit a player to covering the flat.
When the Giants are on defense:
The two headed Panthers running attack of Deangelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart has been fantastic all season, and even better during the last two weeks. This duo really worries me because they are slashers, and can cut back and reverse field, something the Giants do not do well with.
While it is imperative to attack them at the line and fill gaps to eliminate the gain, these guys both will cut back and burn any defense that overpersues. Really, if it takes leaving someone on the backside to contain, then it must be done. They will run against the Giants, there is no doubt about that. The biggest thing will be for the defense to cut down any big gains, and make the Panthers work for those yards on the ground.
The Panthers passing game is not as strong as it used to be, but the one constant is still there, Steve Smith. Smith needs to be doubled the entire game, because all it takes is one slip up and Smith can score on a deep pass.
Mushin Muhammad is not the same receiver that he used to be, and I would like Corey Webster's chances on him one-on-one. Really, Aaron Ross as well as safety help up top should be blanketing Smith the entire time.
If the Panthers begin to run well on the Giants and Big Blue is force to put another man in the box to stop it, this is when Jake Delhomme can hurt you. The Panthers have been very much like the Giants lately, where they pass when needed and when the bait the defense with the run.
This will be a tall task for the defense, but considering they really haven't played to poorly the last few weeks, giving up 20 points in both games, they should be able to keep this one close, as long as the offense can do something.
Three X-factors:
1. Steve Smith x2- Which Smith will have a better game? The one that does will certainly help his team score by moving the chains in a big way. Steve Smith (CAR) is more of the vertical threat, but Steve Smith (NYG) will catch first downs consistently.
2. Julius Peppers- If the Giants let Peppers do to them what they let Demarcus Ware do, it will be a long day for Eli. Peppers is a fantastic player, but he is also not supported by a plethora of pass rushers like the Cowboys have, which makes it a little easier to block Peppers.
3. Brandon Jacobs- His success will be the catalyst for the G-men on offense. If he has a big game you like the Giants chances. If not, the offense could struggle again.
Three reasons why the Giants will win:
1. Home field- The Giants Stadium crowd should be in full force for this one. The snow/rain should stop by game time, but if not it will make things even worse. The temperature? 32 degrees to start and should hit about 24 degrees or so by the end of the game. It should be quite a hostile environment for the Panthers to come into.
2. The running game revives- The Giants won their 11 games this season by pounding the ball at defenses and controlling the clock. If they get back to their success with the run, I can't see why they wouldn't be able to do enough to be in position to win.
3. Big Game Eli- Last year's postseason run has tagged Eli has a big game player. Well, this is a big game and if he holds true to form he should have a good game. If Eli is on and has enough time to go through his reads, he could take advantage of a pedestrian Panthers secondary.
Three reasons why the Panthers will win:
1. They get the run going- When this teams is successful with the run, they tend to run away with games, literally. They hit homeruns with the running game, and it also opens up things in the passing game. If the Panthers are getting chunks of yardage on the ground they will find success.
2. They eliminate the Giants run- If they stack the box early and take the Giants running game out of it, they will be able to put more pressure on Eli and force him to throw. If they are able to stop the running attack, it will certainly make stopping the pass easier as well.
3. They score early- With a downtrodden Giants offense, if the Panthers can take a quick lead and force the Giants to play catch up from the get go it will greatly effect the Giants ability to mix run and pass. Also, if they can take the crowd out of it, things will be much easier for the Panthers.
I want to pick the Giants in this one, but injuries, as well as the abysmal play of the offense the last two weeks tells me that this one should go to the team that is healthier, and hotter at the moment. While I don't think that the Panthers will run away with it, in the end it will be the Giants needing a big score late in the game and the Panthers putting it away with a late touchdown.
Like usual, I hope I am wrong, but it is just too hard to actually pick the Giants considering how they have played as of late. Hopefully they do wake up and realize now is the time they have been waiting for all season.

Supporting a loser - PittsburghLIVE.com Supporting a loser - Friday, April 8, 2005
I think Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato is making a huge mistake by endorsing Bob O'Connor for mayor of Pittsburgh (O'Connor picks up Onorato's support,' April 1).
Onorato is supposed to be a reform-minded politician, yet he's supporting someone who has been a key player in creating the problems that our city government is currently facing.
O'Connor is a politician of the old school, having supported Mayor Murphy's costly spending until it became convenient for him to do otherwise in election years. He's a two-time loser in the mayor's race for obvious reasons -- where was he all those years that the city was being irresponsible with our money?
I'm greatly disappointed by Onorato's decision. We have a chance to move this city forward by electing a new mayor, but he wants us to choose someone who represents everything we should be getting away from.
I guess he's not the kind of leader I thought he was.
Emily Waschak, Beechview
I'm not exactly sure what Onorato will do in the PA Senaate race, nor when. Dan has some political strength, of course. However, political strength isn't something that I'd put as his ace in the hole. What does Dan's Onorado blog tell us as to what he's projecting and thinking about? Then we'd know and he'd have more sway.

- Description
Quick Overview
Just Cavalli For Her opens with a sizzling note of wild pimento, a powerful symbol of virility and seduction. This striking introduction is closely followed by a sophisticated and sensual heart note of vetiver wood that gives an earthly and slightly smoky quality to the fragrance. The base note of smooth leather adds its rich mix of depth and voluptuousness. Fresh, vibrant and sensual, this fragrance is an ode to youth and seduction.
Ten Point Guide to Check Your Perfume is Genuine :
- The Price : If it's too cheap or hugely discounted, there's a high probability it's a fake.
- The Place : Buy your favorite perfume only from authorized and licensed retailers who clearly state this.
- The Serial Number : Look for control numbers, batch number or the serial number. The serial number should match on the bottle and box.
- Quality of Package : Note its thickness, clarity and overall quality. Brittle or cloudy cellophane is a red flag.
- Spellings : An 'authentic' designer perfume box with a spelling mistake or print error is clearly a fake.
- Color : Genuine fragrances are never murky or cloudy. If there are sediments or particles in the bottle, it's a fake.
- Container : Examine the quality of the fragrance bottle. Check for thickness, clarity, scratches, air bubbles or discoloration.
- Look at the bottle's cap : Check the color, shape and quality of the molding.
- Texture : Feel the fragrance between your fingers for excessive oiliness, a common sign of a fake perfume.
- Smell : Counterfeit fragrances are often made improperly. Normally, when perfume is attached to alcohol, it is placed in cans for few days to settle. Fakes often skip this step, so the composition is messy, flat and unpleasant.

I have this fragrance however I did not get it from nykaa but it's such a classic one that once you ll wear everyone around will question you about it...stay power is approx 6-7 hours after which it is kind of intimate fragrance..quite strong and is worth the price..Recommended.

This is a very heavenly scent, very elegant, unique, and rich. It is very balanced, and layers perfectly to generate this masterpiece! This is my second bottle and I am going to buy a third one soon. People always stop to ask me what I am wearing and complement me on it. Silage is rather noticeable and longevity is excellent, around 6 to 8 hours, and it depends on whether you spray it on skin or clothes. This is a truly remarkable scent, is very versatile and unlike any other.

In 1968, the fateful year of the Prague Spring, Czechoslovakia was on the leading edge of reforms that raised Western hopes for at least some meager flowering of human rights in the Eastern bloc. The real dreamers, of course, dreamed of much more.
Then, on Aug. 21 of that year, a Soviet-led invasion of Warsaw Pact forces rolled into Prague and crushed the liberal movement introduced by Czechoslovak leader Alexander Dubcek. The faint hopes as well as the more fanciful dreams were ground to dust under the tracks of Soviet tanks.

Welcome to Boatshed Haylingisland
My background is film and television sound but I have been sailing for over 35 years and most of it has been from around Chichester harbour and Hayling Island. I started back in the black and white days on friends' parents' Westerly Centaur out on the east coast then to a Westerly Renown in the then brand new Brighton marina.
I met my wife on a sailing weekend in Chichester Harbour a very long time ago and the rest, as they say, is history.
I took part in the 1985 "Fastnet" race as part of a BBC1 series "in at the Deep End" with Chris Searle. In 2003 I sailed "Firefly", as owned by Yachting Worlds' editor Andrew Bray across the Atlantic from Antigua to Horta. By total contrast in 2006 I was in Rendsburg in Northern Germany installing Audio Visual systems on a 78meter Super yacht. I am also lucky enough to write regular reviews of yacht charter holidays for "Sailing Today" magazine. An RYA Yachtmaster I am never far from the sea.
All of these experiences have been enjoyable but only now, through the Boatshed International brokerage network am I able to spend my entire life working with boats. It certainly makes it worthwhile getting up in the morning.
So, if you have a boat to sell, or are looking to buy and just want to chat about the possibilities then you are bound to see me in my distinctive Boatshed jacket somewhere around the island, in one of the yards or marinas. Do stop me for a chat. I might even stand you a coffee. I am here to help you as much as I can. Don't forget that Boatshed.com operates on an entirely, "No sale, no fee" basis, so what have you got to lose? Talk to Ross.

|Professor Frank Griffin, Executive Dean of School of Natural and Physical Sciences, reading our names of graduates in 2013 UPNG Graduation ceremony.
The NCD Governor Honorable Powes Parkop, who was the keynote speaker in the afternoon session of the 2013 UPNG Graduation Day drove home a very powerful message of great wisdom and the direction taken by the current regime of O'Neill-Dion led government.
Governor Parkop said something like this: "Let's not be a nation of job seekers; let's be wealth creators and employment creators. Go back to the rural areas where land is and use the knowledge you gained to create wealth. The government is putting the money back in to rural areas for the purpose of creating wealth." Think about it.
It is time now for many of us to re-strategize our plans to find economic freedom and create wealth. Maybe we have been looking or heading in the wrong direction? In our rural communities there are many opportunities. I also think that starting technical and vocation colleges in our rural communities can drive such developmental agenda.
Governor Parkop's UPNG graduation address touched on the very notion of growing wealth in our societies. Among the many things he said was that graduates must return to their villages and rural communities to put to good use the knowledge gained from their sixteen to seventeen years of study, culminating in the award of a degree from a recognized university. He said the degrees are only good if they are put to use in creating wealth.
If their degree is only good for seeking jobs, then it is a tough and long road. It is important to move away from the job seekers mentality. Such mindsets have not served us well. We need to develop a mind of becoming millionaires through the creation of wealth in our communities. The good Governor was spot on.
Professor Albert Mellam, UPNG Vice Chancellor sounded off a similar a note in his speech as well by challenging graduates to become responsible and productive citizens who will make their parents, families, communities, and country proud. Very appropriate challenge for any UPNG graduates during the graduation day. The Vice Chancellor's speech was made with full knowledge that UPNG has produced some of the current crop of top leaders, who at one point were the student leaders of UPNG.
It is no surprise that the current Prime Minister Honorable Peter O'Neill, NCD Governor Honorable Powes Parkop, Defence Minister Honorable Fabian Pok, the Vice Chancellor Professor Albert Melllam, Honorable Kerenga Kua, Attorney General & Justice Minister, and Honorable Tommy Tomscoll, the Minister for Agriculture and Livestock are of the same cohort in their UPNG days.
Being part of the convocation of the University of Papua New Guinea I felt a certain moment of pride. Our cohort had come through with the promise that was had in the decade after Independence of the nation.
What marvels me is the witness of a triumphant journey of young people of this land trudging along, often presented with challenges, necessary and unnecessary, in their formative schooling years, through guts, sheer pride, and love of themselves, their families, and tribe. In whatever event, great or small they were faced with, the young people of our remarkable country often respond with unlimited enthusiasm to learn all they can and sponge the experience for the future of this country.
The hope that we as a nation have in our young people rests in what we have done to prepare, mentor, guide, shape, and lead them on to the platform of greatness. If we had done our part in the formation of our people to lead the nation in future then we can rest easy, but if we have not, then what can we do to bring them up that extra mile that many of us often expect from them. Often such expectations and criticisms, (of our graduates' performance out in the real world), are made up by those who have not contributed to their growth and development as young people.
Attending every UPNG graduation is important to me. First it is part of my duties and responsibilities as an academic of the institution. Second it is the pride of my life as the institution that prepared me to be the person I am today. Third reason is that I am always proud to see my students graduate on that day because I know I have done my part in preparing them to go out there and contribute to the development of our beautiful country. Being a witness to their moment of triumph, moment of glory, and moment of achievement brings me to the realization that I had given them a helping hand along the way here.
|Celebrating with the tribe as it is good for the community.
It seems to me that the appeal issued by the NCD Governor for graduates to return to their villages to create wealth is worth every pint of salt now then before.
Educated members must return to their land with some business plans to plough, irrigate, and grow wealth on it.
It is not literarily about agriculture, but about using the land as the foundation for other wealth creation opportunities.

Having problems with your Fuji FinePix S700 Digital Camera ?
Fuji S700 Will Not Turn ON--Problem Solved
\015 My fuji S700 will not turn on. It will not power on. It happened suddenly. I noticed this after a 2ft drop on to sand. (No there is not sand on or in the camera).\015\012\015\012I imagine this is a common problem. The problem was the sensor that detects the card slot door was not actuating to the closed position. This was due to the tiny plastic tab on the door (in the bottom middle) shearing off--probably due to the shock of the fall.\015\012\015\012The solution I came up with was to cut off the head of a Qtip and shove it in the slot depressing the little switch. I found this to be the best common household item that works well: it can be inserted and taken out easily, it can be replaced easily, it does not alter the camera permanently in any way, and it pushes up against the closed door to help hold it in place.\015

Zenit, Maribor, BATE Borisov, APOEL and Porto are through to the Champions League, which is bad news for Roma.
The second legs of some play-offs were played this evening with some truly surprising results.
Celtic, who were given another chance in the tournament by Legia Warsaw fielding an inelgible player in the last round, suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat to Slovenians Maribor.
The Scottish champions crashed out 2-1 on aggregate.
Zenit crushed Standard Liege 3-0 despite going down to 10 men and that 4-0 aggregate victory is bad news for Roma.
As Zenit go into the draw for the group phase on Friday, Roma slip down to fourth seeds.
BATE Borisov made short work of Slovan Bratislava, winning 3-0 on the night, 4-1 on aggregate.
Cypriots APOEL demolished AaB 4-0 after a 1-1 first leg draw.
Jackson Martinez was on target as Porto comfortably beat Lille 2-0, following on from their 1-0 victory in France.

Southampton 1 Everton 0
Southampton teenager Josh Sims relished a dream Premier League debut after his header across goal allowed Charlie Austin net the winner in the first minute.
The 19-year-old produced a man-of-the-match performance, earning a standing ovation from the St Mary's crowd when he was substituted in the 84th minute.
It was an unhappy return for former boss Ronald Koeman to the south coast, but Sims explained what it meant to make his senior debut for a club that has become renowned for bringing through young players.
"As a kid, I came through the academy at Southampton so playing in front of all the fans and them singing my name was a dream. It's everything you wish for," he said.
"It was a mixture of nervousness and excitement but I was really excited. I knew I was in the squad, but as soon as I found out I was starting I got tips from the lads and they told me to do what I do best."
Austin said: "He had no fear, go out there and do what he does best. He deserved (man-of-the-match) for what he did but it was a great performance by Josh today.
"After a poor performance on Thursday night (losing to Sparta Prague in the Europa League), we can all say we needed that. It was a big game for us today, we needed to get three points today."
Everton boss Koeman lamented his side's poor start and impotent attack: "The start of Southampton in the game was better than our start, 1-0 so fast in the game makes it difficult. In my opinion, (we had) a good second half, much better than the first but that's the problem, it's how we start the game.
"It's sometimes difficult to explain why. It was the kick-off of Everton and I think after 10 seconds we lost the ball and then they scored, 1-0.
"I can't complain about our second half. We put a lot of effort on the pitch but it's difficult to score the goals at the moment.
"We need to work hard and start better, keep focused on improving and to have a performance like the second half and also have a bit of luck."
SOUTHAMPTON: Forster, Soares, Fonte, van Dijk, Bertrand, Højbjerg, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Redmond (Clasie 79), Austin (Long 89), Sims (McQueen 84)
EVERTON: Stekelenburg, Coleman, Jagielka, Williams, Baines (Valencia 83), Gueye, Barry, Lennon (Deulofeu 65), Barkley (Mirallas 71), Bolasie, Lukaku

1st Workshop on International Cooperation for Sustainable Space Exploration
LOCATION: Abbazia di Spineto, Sarteano (Siena), Italy
DATES: 3 – 6 May 2005
The workshop gathered over 50 senior executives with responsibility in the field of space exploration from major space agencies world-wide - ASI (I), BNSC (UK), CNES (F), CSA (CAN), DLR (D), ESA, FFG (A), JAXA (JP), NASA (USA), NSC (N) and SNSB (S) – along with a selected number of space policy experts including the president of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF).
The focus of the workshop was on deepening mutual knowledge of each international partner's exploration plan as well as start preliminary discussions on potential commonalities and synergies.
Over the two days, presentations from the various space agencies dealing with the objectives and the status of their exploration plans were heard, and were further enhanced through presentations from Prof. J. Logsdon, NASA, on the US Vision for Space Exploration, and by the President of the IAF and ESPI, Mr Zimmermann and Mr Plattard respectively, on the importance of space exploration and the role they believe international cooperation will play in the long run to turn these plans into realities.
Splinter groups
The following day participants were divided up into five splinter groups jointly chaired by ESA and ASI experts and organised around the following themes:
A very positive agreement was reached on the need for international cooperation although the agreement also called for a streamlining and rationalisation of the International fora dealing with it. A consensus was also reached on Lunar exploration, Mars robotic exploration priorities and Technology road mapping. A strong plea in favour of establishing standards and common interfaces was made.
The shared view among all participants was that this type of workshops fosters mutual understanding allowing international partners to appreciate the opportunities for Cooperation and initiate preliminary talks that may eventually lead to actual joint undertakings.
This was the first of a series of workshops being planned to foster the dialogue among space fairing nations with an interest in space exploration.

The Angels have used 20 pitchers this season and could soon hand the ball to a 21st.
One day after he allowed four runs in two innings in a spot start against the Kansas City Royals, Barry Enright was designated for assignment. That allowed the Angels to select the contract of Triple-A right-hander Billy Buckner and add him to the major-league roster Thursday.
The Angels also optioned Michael Roth to Double-A Arkansas and recalled Ryan Brasier from Triple-A Salt Lake for the second time this season.
There are 23 pitchers on the Angels' 40-man roster, including Andrew Taylor (on the 60-day disabled list since the season began), Ryan Madson (who could come off the disabled list in the coming weeks) and Tommy Hanson (on the restricted list). Of the others, only Buckner and Brandon Sisk haven't appeared in a game for the Angels this season.
Including this season, the Angels have only used 20 pitchers four times in team history. Robert Coello became the 20th Sunday. The Angels had never previously used their 20th pitcher that early in the calendar year.
"In the short term we certainly need some length," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We threw a lot of pitching last night. Just get some fresh arms back there is important. Our roster is definitely a living organism right now. It keeps moving, keeps rotating. So we're not going to be at — what are we, 117 pitchers on our roster? We're not going to stay there for a while, but for the short term we do need the help."
Roth became the second player drafted in 2012 to reach the major leagues and the first to start a game on April 24. He allowed 14 runs in 14 innings spanning nine appearances.
Enright made four appearances, allowing 12 runs in 8 1/3 innings (a 12.96 earned-run average).
Brasier has pitched in two games for the Angels this season, allowing two runs. He had a 6.88 ERA in 13 games for Triple-A Salt Lake.
Buckner went 4-2 with a 4.56 ERA in eight starts for Salt Lake but will be used as a reliever, at least initially, in Anaheim. He was used as a reliever in 15 of his 36 major-league appearances between 2007-10 for the Kansas City Royals and Arizona Diamondbacks.

BCS Buster Showdown: Fiesta Bowl Preview/PredictionJanuary 3, 2010
It has finally happened: The two teams that were supposed to bust the BCS are going to meet each other in the Fiesta Bowl. The Boise State Broncos and the TCU Horned Frogs will meet to see who is the better BCS Buster. Who will win the honor of being Fiesta Bowl Champions? Read on and find out!
Why The Horned Frogs Will Win:
Dominating Defense: The Horned Frogs finished the season ranked first in the nation in total defense, where they allowed only 233 yards per game. The key to this defense is defensive end Jerry Hughes, who earned All-American status while racking up 11.5 sacks this season. The unstoppable force of Kellen Moore meeting the immovable objects of the TCU defense should be a great match-up to watch.
Full Recovery: The Horned Frogs got some good news this week. Strong safety Colin Jones and safety Tekerrian Cuba will be ready for the game after suffering sore hamstrings. This adds more weapons to an already potent defense, especially if Moore decides to throw. If they step up after coming back from injury and shut down the pass, and Hughes shuts down the run, this should be an easy victory for TCU.
Dalton the Destroyer: Quarterback Andy Dalton is the key to the Horned Frogs' offense, racking up over 2,500 yards and 22 touchdown passes. He has also proven he can beat defenses with his feet, running for over 500 yards and three more scores. He is almost as poised as Moore, and still has one more year to play. He should be a force to be reckoned with in this game and next year too.
Why The Broncos Will Win:
Exacting Some Revenge: You can bet your bottom dollar that Boise State wants a little bit of revenge for the 17-16 loss given to them by the Horned Frogs in the Poinsettia Bowl last year. This time, the stakes are much higher, with the slim possibility of a No. 1 vote in the polls hanging in the balance. You can bet that with those stakes both teams will be playing extra hard, but Boise State, with that chance at sweet redemption, will be playing just a little bit harder.
High-Octane Offense: The Broncos have been on fire on offense after coach Chris Petersen challenged them to refine themselves at mid-season. Since then, they have been on a tear, scoring 40 points and winning by 30 or more in their last seven games. They are led by a frontrunner for next year's Heisman in quarterback Kellen Moore, three scoring workhorses in wide receivers Titus Young and Austin Pettis and running back Doug Martin, and a 1,000-yard rusher in Jeremy Avery. The Horned Frogs will have a lot to take care of if they want to stop the Broncos.
Kellen The Conqueror: Quarterback Kellen Moore is one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the nation, throwing 39 touchdowns against only three interceptions. He seems to be poised and more collected than most NFL quarterbacks, even in the face of dominating defenses. He still needs a little work with his scrambling, but the way he throws the football, it doesn't seem to matter.
Prediction: Boise State wins, 35-34. This is another case of unstoppable force (the Boise State offense) meeting immovable object (the TCU defense). The difference will be the motivation of the Broncos after the Poinsettia Bowl defeat. They'll be fired up and ready to win.
So there you have it: The Broncos take the jump out of the Horned Frogs. Will this be the great game it's being made out to be? You'll have to watch to find out!

The potash company Mosaic is blaming weaker than hoped for demand for its decision to pare 51 jobs in Saskatchewan.
Affected workers at Mosaic's office in Regina, and mines in Belle Plaine, Colonsay and Esterhazy were sent home Monday morning.
The company said the cuts are permanent.
Mosaic said demand for its product is lagging behind the industry's recently expanded production here in the province.
The jobs lost account for less than two per cent of Mosaic's work force in Saskatchewan.

How to make a big holiday bow
Updated 5:24 pm, Thursday, November 24, 2011
Beautiful bows add festive details to the holidays.
Though it's easy to grab a bag of store-bought options, with an expert's help you can create a perfect bow of fanciful loops and streamers.
Surrounded by spools of colorful ribbon, Cornelius Nursery's Terry Valtierra is a master at customizing both elegant and rustic bows to top off Christmas trees or wreaths, garlands and gifts. Burlap is a popular choice in bows this year, but Valtierra says any ribbon you pick will work.
To brighten our simple pine wreath, she chose three wire-edge satin ribbons in different holiday colors and patterns: a red one with green polka dots, a lime-green one with sparkly circles and a red ribbon with green Christmas trees.
Your first decision is determining where you want to display your bow, which will dictate its size. To make our wreath bow, she used 2½-inch and 21/4-inch-wide ribbon. If you know how much ribbon you'll need, measure and cut. But to avoid cutting a ribbon length too short or too long, just pull ribbon from the spools as you make the bow's loops. Our finished bow measures 12 inches wide by 8 inches deep, plus 12-inch streamers.
Before you make the loops, cut three streamers on the diagonal, and set them aside. (Our streamers were 24 inches each.) Also, bend a piece of 18- or 20-gauge floral wire into a hairpin shape. You'll use it at the end of the project to secure the loops and streamers together. (We used about 12 inches of wire.)

To create a bow using three types of ribbon, begin with the color you want on top. Pull a section of ribbon from the spool. Scrunch the sides about 6 inches from the end and hold this gather between your thumb and forefinger.
Form the first loop with your right hand and gather and hold it - along with the first scrunch - with your left thumb and forefinger.
Most ribbon is one-sided; twist the ribbon so the top side is up, then make the second loop the same size as the first. Gather and hold it between the thumb and finger. Twist the ribbon, then create a third loop for fullness. Holding all gathers between the thumb and finger, snip the ribbon end diagonally, leaving about a 6-inch tail. (If you're creating a bow using one type of ribbon, continue making loops, gathering and twisting, until you reach the desired fullness; then add streamers.)
Next, you will make two slightly larger loops with the second ribbon. Place the second ribbon beneath the first set of loops. Again, scrunch about 6 inches from the end; hold with your thumb and forefinger. Create a loop, twist so the top side shows and make a second loop. Snip ribbon, leaving about 6 inches.
Repeat Step 4 with the third ribbon type, again increasing the size of the loops.
Scrunch the streamers in the middle and add to the loops secured between your thumb and forefinger. Streamers and loops should be in the same ribbon order.
Slip the hair-pin-shaped floral wire over loops and streamers, and twist tightly with needle-nose pliers to secure. Leave a length of wire to insert in a wreath or tree.
Wire-edge ribbon holds shape, so fluff the loops and pull streamers forward to create a full look. Your bow is now ready to decorate your wreath, tree or large gift.

Vacation is over, and I've brought home such sweet memories, and even several post ideas that I hope my readers will enjoy.
My sister, "Sweet T", is one of the first women I've known to reuse, repurpose, and upcycle everyday objects into one of a kind useful items, bringing them back to life, and giving them new beauty at the same time.
This sweet little metal bistro table and chairs was originally purchased second-hand by our mom back in the mid-80s. (Mom called it her "ice cream parlor" set.)
|The "Ice Cream Parlor" set in the store window, when Mom first saw it.
Over the years, it was used indoors, outdoors and as a prop for a church play a time or two. It was white, then gold, then chippy and a bit rusty.
|I think this was supposed to be a globe, made from chicken wire.
When T inherited it, she painted it black and it has been lovingly cared for. When the welds would break, a friend would repair them, but the welding material would build up and make sitting uncomfortable.
Sweet T loves "thrifting" and had purchased some natural jute rope a while back, not knowing exactly where she'd use it. She worked out the the final look of the table in her mind, then set out performing the tedious task of wrapping the rope around each chair seat to cover the welds. She then wrapped the table top to match, and the finished look is nothing short of designer! Burlap, macramé and all things natural-looking are "in", aren't they? Well, here is the bistro set that I now covet, haha!
This project is not for an impatient person, and it took her three days to complete the chairs alone. It's a labor of love, and when Sweet T and I sat down to enjoy a glass of her famous sweet tea, it made the moment even sweeter to enjoy it at this sweet bistro set.
As a bonus, here's a picture of a regular, old plastic chair that she also saved from going into the dumpster. Creatively salvaged into a work of art, its even sturdier and more comfortable, and everyone races to sit in it!
|It's gone from "ready for the garbage"
to the most requested, comfy chair in the yard!
|My Beautiful Sis, Sweet T
{ I'm lonely for you already! }

Reputation is what men and women think of us;
Character is what God and angels know of us.
Thomas Paine
When you look at Classic movies like Pollyanna or The Secret Garden one thing that sticks out is the character of the children. They are not perfect, but they are polite, kind, patient and obedient. Today there is almost an expectation to find children (and adults alike) who behave contrary to these character traits. We live in such fast and impatient societies that great virtues like these almost seem out of place.
We all have room for improvement and I want our family to have character that will please God and lead to a good reputation.
Heather McMillan noticed the lack of self-control and perseverane amongst others in children in her care. Her heart was to help children to change and develop better skills and greater character which is long-lasting. Out of her passion to see kids develop their personal potential she created We Choose Virtues, a company with a team that is working together to produce products to help parents like you and me instill great character in our children. This is from the website:
"We Choose Virtues is not unit study that you use once and then move on from. It is actually a character development tool that you use every day, every year. You introduce the Virtues, then demonstrate them, memorize the catchphrases, then learn the antonyms, then capture teachable moments when they are being used…or aren't. You will be amazed how fast you will all learn to obey (not just learn what obedience is, but actually learn to obey!)…and 11 other Virtues too! There are 13 Parenting Cards, one card is the Butterfly and Caterpillar Card. It teaches that everyone was born able to change."
I especially like the last sentence: ...everyone was born able to change...
To demonstrate this, We Choose Virtues uses the 'From Caterpillar to Butterfly' analogy.
The tools include characters who represent the different virtues with a catchphrase for each virtue as well as antonyms for the virtues.
It is very exciting to read the ABOUT section on their website to learn more about the team behind these products.
As part of the TOS Review Crew I recently received the latest product of We Choose Virtues. The Virtue Clue Cards was sent to me free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion about this product. There was no other compensation.
The product:
There are many tools the company offers to help in character training including posters, teacher handbooks, assessments and memory verses among others. The products are aimed at various ages (kids - 3-11, youth - 12-18) as well as different groups (faith based or community / school and homeschool). Visit the product page HERE to see all the tools available.
I received a set of the Virtue Clue Cards which includes 13 brightly coloured cards including 12 virtue cards. Each card is a different colour and features a "I am" statement of a virtue, a virtue character (lovely colourful graphics), catchphrase, antonyms that you are NOT and a challenge on the opposite side. These cards are aimed at kids from 3 -11 years old.
|I am Attentive
The price:
Currently the set of Virtue Clue Cards retails for US$5.99 (a 25% discount off the usual US$7.95)
The procedure (or how we used it):
The kids were very eager to look at the cards and read them all in the car. They went through each virtue and commented on how well they managed each virtue. The challenge on 9 of the 12 cards starts with "Choose to go the whole day ..." The kids especially commented on which of the virtues they have been able to practice the whole day.
We read through different virtues several mornings and talked about why the specific virtues are important as well as the consequences of not using those virtues. We read through the memory verses and the kids chose which virtue to work on for the day. It is amazing how kids rise to a challenge specifically when they choose it themselves.
These cards will definitely remain part of my everyday training of the kids (as well as a challenge to myself). One of the things I like about We Choose Virtues is that it offers a Family Character Assessment (this is available as a free download HERE). Each member of the family assesses where he/she is at regarding a certain virtue (1 (not so good) to 10) and then chooses which virtues to work on.
I believe it is important for our children to know that we need to change too! (and it is fun for them to point out to mum that she needs to be more patient!)
I also received a downloadable colouring book (retails for US$3.00) with a page for each character to colour in,
as well as a 56-page Teacher's Handbook as a PDF download. The handbook suggests different ways to use some of the tools in a classroom or homeschool setting and also suggests some activities that can be done with the children to emphasise certain virtues. Currently the Teacher's Handbook retails for US$4.99 for the PDF and US$19.99 for the hardcopy.
The promo codes and specials:
For the months of January/February the 100 Days of Virtue Poster and Stickers will be included FREE with any Homeschool Kit purchase.
See the CLEARANCE category HERE for discounts (while stock lasts).
Here are two promo codes you can use. These codes can only be used ONE AT A TIME.
- VIRTUE15 for 15 % off the shopping cart
- SHIPFREE for free worldwide shipping
We Choose Virtues is a product which will be an asset to any home! Check them out on FaceBook HERE.
As with any review this was my personal opinion and one of many. You can read HERE what my fellow Crew Mates thought of the We Choose Virtue Clue Cards!

Woman gets one year in jail for death of three horses left rotting on Houston-area farm
Updated 12:24 pm, Thursday, August 6, 2015
A Montgomery County jury has sentenced a New Caney woman to a year in jail over an animal neglect case that involved three dead horses.
According to the Montgomery County Police Reporter, Kimberly Ann Adams was convicted Wednesday and shortly afterward received the maximum one year in the county jail.
Adams, 51, was arrested Feb. 12 after hours of testimony at a hearing before Montgomery County Precinct 4 Justice of the Peace James Metts. Adams was charged with five counts of animal cruelty and was convicted on all five counts, according to online law enforcement records.
The February hearing was to determine whether she would be allowed to keep her horses, or permanently lose ownership, as requested by the Montgomery County Attorney's Office.
On Jan. 31, deputies with the Precinct 4 Constable's Office found two dead horses outside the barn at Adams' home and one dead horse inside the barn, according to a news release.
"All three were in advanced stages of decomposition emitting a terrible odor," the release said.
Adams uses various aliases, including Kimberly Ann Luke, Kimberly Kucera, Kimberly Faust, K.A. Hefley and Kimberly Hefley, according to online records.
