"André Marin is one of the most respected civil servants in this province and it is for that reason that when he speaks out about an issue, politicians on all sides generally take note. His annual reports are not only insightful, but offer an important look into how the government is accomplishing or falling short of their goals, in addition to pointing out problems before they become crises."
-Sarah Campbell, NDP MPP, July 2013
"There is one name and one number that everyone trusts and everyone can find. The one title that people identify with fairness, with objectivity, with impartiality … regardless of where you're from, regardless of what your faith is, what your race is, how old you are…and that is the Office of the Ombudsman."
–John Vanthof, NDP MPP, March 2013

The constructive relationship that your office maintains with my ministry contributes to making our province a more secure, just and prosperous place."
-Community Safety and Correctional Services Minister Madeleine Meilleur, 2012
"The Premier values the Ombudsman's advice. In fact, he almost universally adopts all the Ombuds-man's recommendations … So, when it comes to making public services the very best they can be, André brings a lot to the table. The Ombudsman's work leads to real, systemic change…. They're helping to strengthen public services in Ontario — and around the world."

The francophone community is proud to count you as one of the "greats" … In the name of franco-Ontarians, allow me to thank you for your achievements.
-Community and Social Services Minister Madeleine Meilleur, 2009

-John Yakabuski, Progressive Conservative House Leader, 2010
"We have to give André Marin a lot of credit… He's driven by what's right for this province and what's wrong with an agency of the government and how it's impacting the hard-working taxpayers of this province… André Marin was cut from the same piece of cloth as the original Ombudsman in this province, Arthur Maloney. He set the standard, and we have not had an Ombudsman in that office who even approached it up until André Marin. He's doing a terrific job."
-Robert Runciman, Progressive Conservative MPP, 2009
"By all accounts, André Marin has done a sterling job as Ontario's ombudsman since his appointment five years ago.

-New Democratic Party Leader Andrea Horwath, 2010
"This is the kind of person we need to look at our public institutions, to have some oversight."

He's made the Office of the Ombudsman water-cooler talk not here at Queen's Park but in communities across the province."
-Peter Kormos, New Democratic Party House Leader, 2010
"I can tell you from observing the Ombudsman's work with a number of ministries and in a number of investigations, he and his staff operate with a sense of dispatch. They tend to leave no stone unturned; they are extremely thorough. He delivers meaty recommendations… he adds public value. We learn a lot from him."

-New Democratic Party MPP Rosario Marchese, 2009

-Michele Di Emanuele, former associate secretary of cabinet and deputy minister, 2010

André's clarion call has been for the ombudsman to demonstrate value and foster change."

–Canadian Lawyer, 'Top 25 most influential lawyers,' 2011
"He is a role model in many respects, due to his solid vision of ombudsmanship, and his concrete accomplishments … Mr. Marin is outstanding among his peers, and, as much for his professional qualities as for his effective participation, he has gained great credibility. He thus serves with honour and distinction in his role as a representative of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, of which he is a credible and exceptional officer."

-Stewart Hyson and Gary Munro, Provincial and Territorial Ombudsman Offices in Canada, University of Toronto Press, 2009

-Tom Nash, 2014
"How fortunate Ontarians are in having you as their Ombudsman… It is clear that you are passionate about your work and are hugely committed to doing the right thing, and also to tackle head-on the most difficult and complex of cases that come to your attention. I admire your courage and integrity… How fortunate for the disenfranchised that you are there to represent them."
-Richard Gray, 2013

-Robert Jackson, 2013
"You are a breakthrough in government operations."
-Peggy Andrews, 2013
"Ontario is fortunate to have an Ombudsman like Mr. Marin. His passion for fairness and accountability, compounded with his no-nonsense approach, make him a leader in the international Ombudsman world."
-Danielle Cardinal, 2013
"Thank you for the excellent work being done by your Office…It has been incredibly refreshing, as an exhausted parent dealing with the maze of government bureaucracy, to have the support of [your staff]. They clearly understand the immediate issues and find ways to identify important related systemic issues."
–Complainant, 2012
"Your report [In the Line of Duty, on operational stress injuries among police] has done wonders for the policing community."
-Municipal police constable, 2012

"Mr. Marin, you and your staff are indeed heroes to regular Ontario citizens that just want accountability and responsibility in this province."

"Your office has done a great service for civil rights and democracy itself."

– Fred Williams, 2010
"The Ombudsman has reinforced for us that our obligation to the citizens of Ontario to protect the public interest is the foundation of everything that we do… The 'shock' of the Ombudsman's report brought about deep and systemic change within the Corporation in very short order. It is unlikely that this could have been achieved through more conventional or traditional means of organizational reform."
– Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, 2008
"I want you to know how much I appreciated your assistance, without which I am convinced there would have been no action at all on the matter which I brought to the attention of your Office. You opted to go to the trouble of assisting me, presumably for no other reason than that it appeared to be consistent with the public interest."
–Complainant, 2010
"He has fulfilled his role diligently as a critical overseer of government activity. His courageous and hard-hitting reports have improved funding and access to criminal injuries compensation, led to a revised municipal tax assessment system, reduced the risk of insider abuse in the lottery system, and have secured cancer drugs and other medical treatment for hundreds of Ontarians. This is someone the Ontario electorate cannot afford to lose as a crucial check on government.
-Afton Eddy, 2010
"Those who govern may not like his public reports, but it takes an André Marin to remind them why they were elected and why they are heading the organizations they are responsible for. Thank you for a good job done for the past 5 years and the years before that, that were all concerned with public service."
-Gilles Madore, 2010
"Your diligence and hard work are truly appreciated by myself and the people of Ontario."

-Cynthia Cameron, 2005
"I am still smiling. The unbelievable occurred. André Marin, Ombudsman for Ontario, compiled a thorough investigation into my case with OHIP. Due to his findings and recommendations, the Ministry of Health agreed to reimburse my full medical and legal costs and implement changes to the out-of-country coverage application process."
-Suzanne Aucoin, 2007
"Thank you so much for taking on this issue and for exposing what has been happening. People on ODSP have very little in the way of a voice, often having reached the bottom by the time money does start to come in. Hardly enough left to fight the strangling red tape of a government agency."
-Complainant, 2007

-Complainant, 2007
"I am very pleased to see how the Ombudsman's Office has been able to catalyze change at the OLG … I have some insight into how complicated this investigation was, and think that the final report does a marvellous job… When complaints are heard, when the sense of unfairness is given a very public voice, both the government and the governed benefit. This is the best of what an Ombudsman can do."
-Mohan Srivastava, statistician, 2007
"It will be wonderful to have our children back in our lives … I can't tell you how much we appreciate all that your office has done to save our children from the mess that they were facing."
-Complainant, 2007

– Andrew Magtangob, 2008

–Ottawa Citizen editorial, September 2013

-Jonathan Jenkins, Queen's Park Briefing, July 16, 2013
"He is one of the first officials in the Canadian public sector to use social media to engage in honest and open conversations with citizens … A thought leader in open government … the Ombudsman's commitment to openness can only lead to better governance."
-Andrea Smith, Thornley Fallis (PR) blog, April 2013
"Since taking over as provincial Ombudsman in 2005, he's transformed the job from a quiet backwater that rarely raised a ripple to a crusading, high profile scourge of lazy, incompetent or uncaring government officials."
–Christina Blizzard, Toronto Sun, June 2012
"Ontario is lucky to have Ombudsman André Marin, who keeps the powerful honest. It's a good thing for some that he doesn't have the authority to lay criminal charges."
–Joe Warmington, Toronto Sun, December 2012
"We can only wish more such public watchdogs… would follow André Marin's example."
-Greg Van Moorsel, London Free Press, October 2012
"Marin's office has done the valuable work of exposing secretiveness and arrogance in some municipal councils. Ontario voters should remember it when they next go to the polls."
–Ottawa Citizen editorial, October 2012
"Marin is a master of colourful language, and it's his ability to attract headlines that has enabled him to make real change in the province… He's transformed the [Ombudsman's] job from a quite backwater that rarely raised a ripple to a crusading, high-profile scourge of lazy, incompetent or uncaring government officials."
-Christina Blizzard, Toronto Sun, June 2012
"André Marin… keeps everybody honest in Ontario and backs down from no one… The name Marin is synonymous with fearless honesty and unshakable integrity."
-Joe Warmington, Toronto Sun, December 2011
"Marin was one of the first officials in the Canadian public sector to use social media to engage in a real dialogue with citizens."
-Dave Fleet, Edelman VP Digital, blog, June 2011
"For about $10 million a year and with less than 100 staff, Marin looks at some 500 provincial ministries, Crown corporations, tribunals, agencies, boards, and commissions… The ombudsman's office is our last line of defence. Its budget is money well spent to protect us all."
-Ian Harvey, Law Times, June 2011
"He has demonstrated over and over again the value of his position to public policy."
–Ottawa Citizen editorial, June 2011

–Torontoist.com, "Heroes of 2010," December 2010
"From the opposition's perspective, it's impossible to imagine anyone better. Mr. Marin… has turned a formerly sleepy outpost into a force to be reckoned with. With a hyper- aggressive approach to investigating complaints, an apparent enthusiasm for stirring things up and an ability to speak in sound bites, he has repeatedly shone a light on where the government is coming up short – everywhere from the screening of newborn babies to the management of the province's lottery system."
-Adam Radwanski, Globe and Mail, May 2010
"An ombudsman, by definition, is the public's watchdog … a dog with teeth. When the Liberal government of Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty appointed André Marin, it got itself such a dog, and publicly revelled in the political points earned for snaring a champion for the common man… Marin's accomplishments and tenacity are remarkable… André Marin did everything his mandate asked him to do, and more… [H]e's a watchdog with a pedigree. But he is also one with the balls of a junkyard dog."
-Mark Bonokoski, Toronto Sun, May 2010
"The ombudsman is a natural-born disturber. He does not hide his light under a bushel… Marin has used these talents to produce many reports into systemic injustice or inefficiency in government. And thank heavens for that… Marin's beady eye has been needed lately more than ever."
-Jim Coyle, Toronto Star, May 2010
"Ombudsman André Marin's steady flow of systemic reports are strongly worded and cleverly packaged for maximum media impact. His detractors in government seethe unhappily when Marin unleashes yet another punishing exposé, but they've learned that his assertions are factual and numbers cannot be dismissed. Marin is bulletproof because he's seen as very tough but fair."
–Inside Queen's Park, March 2009
"If there is a problem with something and you want somebody to not only identify that problem, but to also harshly critique it, André Marin is a good one to pick. The Ontario Ombudsman has a legacy of uncovering inefficiencies and incompetency in provincial government organizations."
–Niagara Falls Review editorial, March 2009
"Meet pro-forma-averse Ontario Ombudsman André Marin, who's kept up a steady blast at inanity, knocking the Health ministry for limiting use of cancer drug Avastin … trying to tighten the regs around notoriously limp cop watchdog the Special Investigations Unit, or winning the return of children to families forced to surrender them to Children's Aid because of poverty. We're all safer
with Marin on the dumb-gov file."
–NOW Magazine, "Best Activist" award, Best of T.O. issue, October 2009
"Three cheers for Mr. Marin, a government watchdog who actually watches, and what's more, really barks."
-Rex Murphy, CBC-TV, March 2007
"Marin should be lauded for defending all Ontarians and for standing up to the government and bureaucracy and telling them they are wrong."
-Lindsay Daily Post, editorial, August 2006
"As he's done with everything from disease screening for babies to Children's Aid Society bungling to wildly out-of-whack property assessments, Marin… has cut to the chase and shown McGuinty a clear path to reform."
-Toronto Sun editorial, August 2006
"Marin has…proven adept at bringing accountability to agencies and ministries which have strayed off the path."
–Sarnia Observer editorial, June 28 2007
"André Marin, Ontario's ombudsman, has developed a reputation for not pulling punches and for standing up for the common man in the face of institutional injustice … when Marin talks, government agencies quiver in fear of what will be revealed."
-Cornwall Standard-Freeholder editorial, March 2007
"He is, in every sense, the voice of the Little Guy around here. When you've reached the end of your tether fighting heartless bureaucracy, Marin's the guy you turn to."
–Christina Blizzard, Toronto Sun, June 2007
"Marin has had a huge impact in Ontario. In that short time, he has arguably done more for Ontarians than anyone else… With a budget for his office of about $10 million, we sure are getting our money's worth with this guy."
–Alan Shanoff, Toronto Sun, March 2008
"André Marin has a flair for rooting out complacency and bad practices in government institutions. When the highly quotable Ontario ombudsman opens his mouth, officialdom squirms."
–Toronto Star editorial, October 2008
"We've said it before and we'll say it again: This is the person we want looking out for the public."

With the wide diversity of home lighting styles available it can be challenging to choose which style you like the most. Paper lanterns, with all their many colors, patterns and sizes, offer a versatile choice for any room in your home or your special event. Decorating with paper lanterns adds form and function to your space. Check out the following ideas to create the perfect mood with paper lantern lighting in your home or for your wedding/special event.
Decorating with Paper Lanterns:
1. Survey your home or event location to see which areas would benefit most from decorating with paper lanterns. Paper lanterns work best as ambient lighting or to set a mood with color and patterns. They do not provide enough light for studying or reading. Paper lanterns work well in indoor spaces as well as sheltered, outdoor spaces. You can also hang paper lanterns in gardens and on trees for special occasions, but you will need to bring them inside to keep them in pristine condition.
2. Consider the array of colors and patterns available. A pair of simple white or cream paper lanterns against blue-grey walls has contemporary chic appeal, but when placed against a backdrop of bamboo and faded earth tones, it takes on an Asian-fusion look. A single bright or patterned paper lantern can serve as the focal point in an otherwise plain room, while a series of brilliant lanterns in layers of colors, sizes and patterns has an exotic look.
3. Hang a few lanterns across a room to add dimension. They need not all be wired for light. Decorate a corner with paper lanterns strung at different heights or use miniature paper lanterns over party lights to frame a window or doorway or to outline the branches of a tree.
4. Choose a type of fixture for the paper lantern. You can buy battery-operated and solar-powered paper lantern fixtures that avoid you having to connect them to any wiring. You can hang a paper lantern directly over the bulb on a fixture or purchase a cord kit for connecting the paper lantern to an outlet.
5. Extend the look with other paper decorations. Paper lanterns look beautiful interspersed with paper parasols or fans. You can suspend bright tissue paper flowers from a paper lantern or create garlands of flowers attached to fishing line and hang paper lanterns from the line as well. An Asian tri-fold screen fitted with translucent paper can echo the colors, patterns or textures of a paper lantern.
5 Ways to Get Creative with Paper Lanterns:1. Wrap them with ribbon in fun patterns and contrasting colors.2. Embellish them with faux craft butterflies or paper butterflies created from decorative paper. 3. Personalize them with chipboard letters and numbers.4. For a glamorous feel, line the top and bottom edges of the lantern with flapper-style craft trim or feather boa.5. Instead of sticking to just traditional round spheres, try mixing in a few lanterns with funky shapes or creative prints. (Just make sure not to overdo it with the prints - especially if the pattern is very busy!)

About District Magistrate Hooghly:
This district with its Headquarters located at Chinsurah town is within the Burdwan Division of the State of West Bengal. So far history goes, the name Hooghly is derived probably from the HOGLA, a tall reed, which grows in abundance on the riverbanks and in the marshy low lands below them. At dawn of history this part of the country was probably included in the territory held by the Suhmas, a tribe mentioned in juxtaposition with the Angas, Vangas and Pundras in the Mahabharata and also in the Mahabhashya, a grammar dating back to the second century B.C.
In the third century B.C. the territory of the Suhmas was included in the vast empire of Asoka, which extended over the whole of Bengal as far as the mouth of the Ganges and upto Tamralipti (the modern Tamluk). Several centuries later this tract became absorbed with the rest of Bengal in the Gupta Empire, owing to a successful campaign by Samudragupta in the fourth century. In the beginning of the seventh century, it appears to have been conquered by the powerful king of Bengal Sasanka of Gaur. In the second quarter of that century it became part of the great emperor Siladitya Harshabardhan. The northern and eastern part of the district, however, passed into the hands of the Sena kings of Bengal.
The district remained under the rule of indigenous rulers till the 13th Century. The northern part of the district had passed into the hand of the Mughal Rulers by 1298 A.D. Colonial forces came later. The Portuguese, the Dutch, the French, the Danes, the English came to this district for business purpose and established Kuthis. They also settled in the district and utilised the district as the Window to the foreign Settlers. Chandernagore was under the French since 1696 till 1950. Chinsurah and Serampur were under the Dutch and Danes respectively for a long period.

Posted on Thursday 25 February 2016 by Ulster Business
Pictured is Trevor Shaw, CEO of Abbey Insurance Brokers
A locally-owned insurance company has bought competitor Open + Direct for an undisclosed sum.
Abbey Insurance Brokers, which was founded in 1973 in Newtonabbey, has taken over the firm from Swinton Group.
The UK insurer has owned Open + Direct since 2009 and it now has over 200 staff operating in 13 branches.
They'll be merged with the Abbey business which counts 220 employees across 15 branches.
The firm's founder and chairman George Storey told Ulster Business it is an exciting time for the business.
"It is a big opportunity for us to grow the Abbey Insurance name," he said. "We're looking forward to the next chapter in the company's history, one which provides opportunities for all the staff."
He said the acquisitive route proved the best way to expand the company in such an ambitious manner, rather than through organic means.
"We became aware how expensive it is getting to grow our own new customers so looking for an acquisition made sense. The plans are to continue to grow the business expand the network further with four new branches."
Mr Storey founded Abbey Insurance, now a wholly owned subsidiary of Prestige Insurance Holdings, in 1993 and said it is now Northern Ireland's largest locally-owned insurance broker.
Trevor Shaw, CEO of Abbey Insurance Brokers welcomed the deal.
"We are very pleased that through this acquisition, we have almost doubled the size of the Abbey Insurance Brokers business and extended our branch network right across Northern Ireland," he said. "Over 40 years in the local market, Abbey Insurance has built a very strong business, focused on customer service excellence, which is demonstrated in the fact that almost 90% of our customers return to us year after year.
"In order to secure significant further growth, we recognised the need to acquire another business. We looked carefully at Open + Direct and considered it to be a good fit with Abbey, in terms of its professional local staff, the strength of its operation and its geographical footprint.
He said it will be business as usual for customers of both firms.
"We would reassure customers of both companies that their existing insurance policies remain unaffected by this development. Our immediate priority will now be to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible for customers and staff. All Open + Direct branches and their staff will continue working under the same name in the short term, with branches gradually changing over to Abbey Insurance Brokers in due course."
Finance for the acquisition was provided by Ulster Bank. Kenton Hilman, Head of Corporate & Property Banking NI, Ulster Bank, said: "We are delighted to support Abbey Insurance in their plans for sustainable growth. This acquisition is an important step in that strategy, and we are happy to be working closely with them to assist a growing local business in further developing its presence.
"This is one of the largest transactions of its type to have taken place in Northern Ireland in recent times, and is a welcome sign of renewed appetite for larger-scale deals in the market.

"You can hear God in everything, and miss him in anything." Ken Hesler
Today, a mama and a daddy walked through the doors of a courthouse to finalize the adoption of their three children and I was almost undone at the privilege of capturing those moments. This mama who had labored for years with paperwork and prayer. These little hands held, their hearts full. The extended family present, dressed up and beaming. It was all so beautiful but what really got me was the part when the lawyer was done speaking and the judge looked squarely at the parents and had one more question. Did they understand that these children are heirs with all lawful rights to inheritance equal to that of a biological child- that there was no difference?
The mama and the daddy nodded a proud and happy, unreserved and resounding yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
Is there anything else they wanted more?
Just the night before, my girls and I watched Priscilla Shirer's session 6 of her Armor of God bible study on my television screen as she unpacked what it meant to put on the helmet of salvation. Our salvation is our identity in Christ- it is our liberation, she explained. And we are adopted daughters of God and our Father is blessed ("our Daddy is fat (phat?), y'all- BLESSED- and you are his daughter and you are blessed too!" - she is an amazing preacher for sure- makes me smile big).
And I had just walked among the great big sky at midnight wayyyyyyy out in the country with little Asher a few nights before- us so small and stars so big - and I told him the story about Abraham and how Abraham just looked up and just believed and that was enough for God. Abraham was in. And when we believe, we're in too.
And so when the judge asked those happy parents that question about the inheritance, it just went WHOOSH over my heart. Our Heavenly Father adopts us and lavishes his love on us and we are heirs as his children. It is an unreserved and resounding YES for us, too.
Is there anything else He's ever wanted more?
"All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.
God has now revealed to us his mysterious will regarding Christ—which is to fulfill his own good plan. And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth. Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan." Ephesians 1:3-11 (NLT)

Lancôme 29, Saint Honoré Maison Lancôme blush
A while back I had the pleasure of attending the Lancôme launch event for the Lancôme 29, Saint Honoré collection at an exclusive Sydney mansion. This beautiful collection is created by Lancôme's leading makeup artist Aaron De Mey and is inspired by the late 1940s fatale chic trend. It celebrates the ultimate feminine woman and her willingness to express her femininity through makeup.
What they say:
Created as a true work of art, this blush has all the allure of a pretty vintage postcard, telling the beautiful tale of Paris at the end of the 1940s. Its case is engraved with a golden plaque, reminiscent of the Capital's most distinguished addresses. Discover the universal harmony of tender rose, decorated with a delicate sprinkling of gold."
Isn't it absolutely beautiful? The blush consists of a dark pink, a light pink and a beigy peach with some gold overspray on the Eiffel Tower and lampost. To apply, Aaron De Mey recommends "blending the three shades with a brush, then use generous movements to sweep them up towards the temples, sculpting cheekbones and brightening the complexion." It gives a nice soft matte pink colour to my cheeks, like a subtle glow. It is VERY sheer but is somewhat buildable to a certain degree.
It's a very pale colour so it swatches quite light on me:
When applied quite heavily (sorry for the bare minimum makeup look):
Overall: Maison Lancôme blush is a simply stunning blush. No doubt about it. It is definitely a collectors item that is a must for blusher fiends like yours truly! However it's not a product that is a must for the everyday makeup collection. I do wish it was more pigmented - even though I apply with a very heavy hand it still only just shows on my cheeks. I guess this is a positive in that you can apply in the dark without a mirror and still achieve the perfect natural flush!
Details: Lancôme 29, Saint Honoré Maison Lancôme blush is available now for a limited time only from Adore Beauty and David Jones and Myer stores nationally for $75.
US ladies can purchase it online from Lancome USA and Sephora for $40US.
Now that I've swatched it for you it's going back in my dresser not to be touched again x) Thanks for looking as always! Aussie ladies don't forget to enter my Vaseline Aloe Fresh Lotion with SPF 15 giveaway here!
The product featured in this post was provided to me for consideration but this in no way influenced my review in any way. As always, my reviews are my 100% honest opinion. My Disclosure Policy can be viewed here.

How'd all! It has been a while hasn't it?! Well I have good reasons which I will not go in to as it is a bit on the depressing side. However I am back today with my In Flight Essentials. If you didn't know by now (I've raved on enough about it in my videos) I'm currently on a road trip in the USA! In theory I should maybe done this post before I left the UK, but I'm a frantic packer and the idea of videoing for YouTube or blog posting had me panicking.
My final destination was Las Vegas but we (me and the Hubby) had to make a 2hour pit stop into Atlanta first. It was pretty gruelling... I'm not going to lie. When we arrived in LAS we'd nearly been awake for 24hours straight. As it was such a long day I did pack a small array of beauty goodies to get me through it. Below may seem a lot but it was worth lugging it all about in my carry on bag.
So the overall goodies I took were in these cute makeup bags. The Cath Kidston (on the left) contains no liquids, just essential bits and bobs. Airline rules state only 100ml or below can be taken on board the plane. I put all my liquid items into this clear makeup bag (this is part of a three set of bags from Marks and Spencer). I'll start of with the most obvious item... my tangle teaser hair brush - I say no more.
So inside the clear makeup bag I have this lot...
Tooth brush and paste
Lip balms ... Yes I have two - can never have enough
Caudalie Beauty Elixir to freshen my face in flight
Tooth harps (tooth pick/floss)
Hand sanitizer
Hand cream
Bioderma* and cotton pads
Liz Earle face moisturiser
Some Muji travel pots with my eye cream and anti wrinkle creams
Botanics BB Cream and L'Oreal Waterproof Mascara
A few random samples from Birchbox
Underarm spray.... I don't want to smell :-)
This lot looks like a bunch of strange items and I didn't even use half of them in flight. However I know I will need them on my return flight. My essentials are:
Food ... On domestic US flights you have to pay for all food.
Ear plugs ... Self explanatory I think
Hair bands
My Chanel mirror
Watches and jewellery. I don't like to pack these for obvious reasons (my jewellery is in the white tin)
Minnie Mouse eye mask
Glasses case
Wet wipes and face wipes if I feel like having a mini bath on my travels.
So that's my essentials for travelling. I hope this gave you some ideas if you are travelling soon.
What are your essentials items??

Thanks to Bill Hemp, Bon Bon is lucky enough to have a hand drawn portrait. Life is sweet! #BainbridgeIsland #Fudge #Candy
Come join us this Friday at 11 a.m. for the eCity Award event that Google will be presenting to Bainbridge Island. The location is at Bon Bon at 230 Winslow Way E. where guests will include U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer, Bainbridge Mayor Steve Bonkowski and a Google representative.
We hope to see you here for this exciting day.
In a state home to tech titans like Amazon and Microsoft, Bainbridge Island is the new "digital capital."
So says search engine giant Google, which has named the island its "eCity" for Washington state. According to Google, the eCity accolade — awarded for the first time this year — is based on the extent to which businesses in the community utilize the Internet to connect with customers.
"The winning cities exhibited strong engagement and potential for growth within the digital economy," Google representative Sam Smith said in an email.
Businesses with a Web presence are expected to grow 40 percent faster than other companies, according to a statement from Google.
Google worked with research firm Ipsos to compile the list of 50 eCities. According to the methodology provided on the Ipsos website, a shortlist of five cities was created for each state, based on the number of AdWords customers in relation to the city's population. AdWords is a Google advertising product.
Once the shortlist of AdWords-friendly cities was in hand, Ipsos analyzed a random sample of 51 small- and medium-sized businesses from each city. Businesses were scored based on a number of criteria, including whether they were listed in online directories, had websites, cultivated a social media presence or sold goods online.
Scores were tallied and Bainbridge Island came out on top in Washington. Announcements of the eCities are being rolled out at events across the country. An event for Bainbridge Island will be Friday at Bon Bon, a Winslow Way candy shop organizers say exemplifies the kind of online integration the eCity award recognizes. Bon Bon has a website, blog and social media pages, and it sells fudges online.
Life just got sweeter!
We moved to main street:
230 Winslow Way East on Bainbridge Island.
Please stop by and check out our beautiful new store and get a free sample of our new fudge flavors.
Look forward to seeing you!
Hello everyone!
Happy Holidays!
We just finished putting the final touches on Bon Bon Candy Store transforming it into a winter wonderland. Step inside and feel the magic, enjoy a local sweet treat. Our wonderful staff is here waiting to help you find and ship the perfect holiday treat!

My students were pretty much completely cut loose to work with the RNs today, and all I did was go around and ask them questions about their patients. Some interesting cases today, including a disease I had never heard of. I like learning about new stuff.
During my downtime I worked on preceptorship stuff. The paperwork takes a lot of time. So far this semester, the whole thing seems to be running smoothly.
Too smoothly.
I'm waiting for something to go wrong. Something always goes wrong, just like a wedding. In my first wedding, the dj didn't have the music I requested and took off with the extra champagne. In my second wedding, the dj had the music, but took off with the extra bottles of scotch. No one ever steals the booze in preceptorship.
My last day in clinical with the students is two weeks from tomorrow, and then they spend the rest of their time with a preceptor. It is one of the high points in my semester, and signals the downhill slide toward semester break.
I told them I would take them to lunch on the last day after we finish up, and invited them to decide where they want to go. I do this every semester (but completely forgot last semester!). In every group, there is always one student who naturally assumes the responsibility of finding a place and making the reservation, and this semester is no exception.
Tomorrow is Malida's birthday. She works all day and always abstains from meat on her birthday, so I took her out tonight. I will get a piece of lemon cake tomorrow, and we can celebrate after she gets home.
Happy birthday--I bought you a bike!

Aston Martin Heritage - 100 Years Of Power, Beauty And Soul
Aston Martin is one of the most evocative names in motoring. Its long-term association with James Bond is no coincidence - strength, sophistication and charisma define both car and character.
Celebrating 100 Years of Aston Martin
Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato (1960)
The very first Zagato Aston Martin, started a near 50 year association between the two companies. It was shorter and 300 lb lighter than the standard car, thanks to its "superleggera" (superlight) aluminium bodywork. Only 20 of the extremely expensive DB4 GT's were made, but they turned into phenomenal investments - an original car is now worth over £1 million.
Aston Martin DBS/V8 (1967 - 1989)
This was the longest-lived Aston Martin of all time, lasting over 20 years. This was partly due to the fact that it was an all-new design intended to be a quantum leap over the outgoing DB6. It featured new all-independent suspension and a brand-new 5.3 litre V8 -although the engine was ready later than the rest of the car, so early versions were only available with the 4.0 engine from the DB6. The longevity of the design was also partly down to a happy accident, however. The body jigs were six inches wider than originally intended, making the car enormously wide by the standards of the 1960s. However, as cars got bigger over the years, the V8 still looked modern, while other 1960s designs started to look narrow and spindly.
Aston Martin DB7 (1993 - 2003)
This is the car which heralded the triumphant re-emergence of Aston Martin after the difficulties of the 1989 - 1992 recession. The beautiful DB7 rapidly became the best-selling Aston Martin ever - indeed it sold more than every previous model combined. Buyers were seduced by both the looks and the fact that it was far easier to drive than any previous model. However, any thoughts that Aston Martins were going soft were dispelled by the arrival of the V12 DB7 Vantage with 420 bhp.
Aston Martin DBR1 (1956 - 1959)
The origin of the modern Aston Martin legend. Although the company dates back to before the war, it was relatively obscure until the DBR1 won both Le Mans and the World Sports Car Championship. It beat off the mighty Ferrari, a remarkable achievement for a company with such tiny resources. The championship was finally won by a piece of the most amazing sportsmanship, unthinkable today. A factory Aston Martin DBR 1 caught fire in the pits during the final race, meaning Aston Martin could no longer use their own pits for refuelling. A privately entered Aston Martin then withdrew from the race, enabling the official team to use the private team's pit and go on to victory.
Aston Martin DB5 (1963 - 1965)
The DB5 was the real star of Goldfinger, complete with its ejector seat - and proved such an icon that it has made cameo appearances in three other Bond films: Thunderball, GoldenEye and Casino Royale. The DB5 is probably the most sought-after of the standard DB cars, being more refined than the DB5, but more delicate than the later DB6. 'DB' incidentally, stands for David Brown, the industrialist who owned the company from 1947 to 1972.

- Removing snippets – In raw footage, it can sometimes be difficult to remove content cleanly and professionally. We can remove certain segments from your footage and ensure your production looks, sounds and feels exactly how it should do.

The Pithos Guide¶
pithos is a daemon which provides an S3-compatible frontend for storing files in a Cassandra cluster.
pithos provides the ability to build complex object storage topologies spanning multiple regions and focuses on the following:
- Scalability
By relying on Apache Cassandra, pithos splits your files (objects) in small chunks which are replicated across a cluster of machines. This allows pithos to provide the following guarantees:
- Fast writes
- High Availability
- Partition tolerance
- Compatibility
While there are no wide-spread official standard for object storage, the S3 protocol has become a de-facto standard and has thus been chosen as pithos' protocol. This means you can start using your favorite S3 tools to work with pithos, such as:
- Simplicity
- Pithos was built with ease of use and operability in mind. It should be easy to get started, require as few moving parts as possible and still be relatively easy to extend for larger installations. Pithos is distributed as a single executable JAR-file and relies on a YAML configuration file. As many of the JVM specifics are hidden from the administrator.
pithos is sponsored by Exoscale, a great European Cloud provider.
