On March 6, 2010, Jesse Jackson marched in Montgomery, Alabama for a protest regarding the most important civil rights issue of today.
That's right, I'm talking about electronic bingo:
Rev. Jesse Jackson leads pro-bingo march in Montgomery
Discrimination against blacks is so hard to find in America today that a professional civil-rights protester such as Jesse Jackson has to fabricate a racial issue where none exists and claim that anti-gambling laws, as applied to electronic bingo machines in hotels, are somehow a vestige of Jim Crow. This demostrates how we are coming closer to achieving Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream of a color-blind society yet simultaneously going down the path of increased racialization of society.

1930's makeup September 6, 2009

I had a try yesterday at creating some lovely 1930's makeup for the upcoming do. The lip bows need to be nice and exaggerated, whilst the eyes should be dark and smokey, and generally eyeliner free. What do you think of the attempt?! Oh, and this is less dramatic than for a night out – and I am pretty sure they didn't wear gloss like I did, but hey!
Any tips, let me know – all feedback appreciated!

Went to a great Bell X1 gig last night – it was fantastic! I shall write a full post on it tomorrow!
Today, however, I thought I'd try my hand at a beauty post – because for once I was actually happy with how my makeup turned out! Makeup to me is something completely optional. I don't always wear it – in fact, today I wore no makeupat all – just bare moisturised skin. Yesterday, however, I decided to have fun – and the art of makeup is one way to do that! Cie wrote a great poston the position of makeup as not just something to please men, but something that women use to give themselves enjoyment and satisfaction.
So (excusing my big nose that always looks bigger in photo) – here is how to get the light look:
Create a decent base – for this I use a light foundation (everything I use is no.7, mainly because they have great freebies!) which I apply with Bodyshop brush these brushes are soo soft it's lovely! I follow up the foundation with a light concealer under my eyes.
To apply the makeup, I began my lining the inside of my upper eyelids with black eyeliner. If you are paler, use a brown shape. This defines your eyes, making them appear wider and with thick luxurious lashes.
I next lined above my lashes in a gold line. I use a liquid liner swept across the whole lid – this line can be quite thick, just make sure to blend it in slightly if it is really wide.
Once the liquid liner is dry, work a light gold/brown shade over the lid. If you have deep-set eyes, add a small touch of light shadow just under your brows.
Add a touch of dark brown and charcol shadow at the outside corner of your eye, blend this in well.
Finally, apply eye liner to the top, and if you are careful, to the bottom. And voila – you shoudl have light, bright eyes.
This is a look that I hope to wear on holiday. Whilst I normally wear barely anything on holiday, it's a different matter on the hot heavy nights! Lovely!

Being inspired by the lovely pictures on one of my favourite blogs, I decided to have a little play around with glitter and do some pretty makeup!
I was going glitter heavy, with over-the-top lips and plenty of colour. What do you think?
I love glittery fancy make-up, but I don't like the aftermath – having to deal with muchos glitter in my eyes, and plentiful glitter induced tears!

… well, summer is at least! Yesterday I smelt pollen in the air, and was warm as I walked across the car park at work. I wanted to be outside, dining on champagne afternoon tea and lounging on elegant candy striped sun loungers. Of course, whilst warm, it wasn't really sunbathing champagne drinking weather – but a girl can dream! Today was just the same – once the mist burnt off it revealed a stunner of a day – all endless blue skies and fresh buds shooting upwards. I walked the long way home with Ben – winding through quaint little streets – and discovering a part of leamington I never knew existed before. It was lovely with pretty terraced houses and plenty of Green leafy places to hang out in.
Now we're home, I felt like experimenting with my wig – so now you can all see me with long hair. I don't know why but sometimes it really looks like a wig – other times it looks au natural. Judge for yourself!
Other than wigs, I have spent the last few days trying to work out a location for a daily outfit shot! The problem is I need to take the photo myself (Ben's hands shake) – and the light in my house tends to make me look totally not dead. Not just a little bit dead, you understand, but completely utterly dead! One stage away from decomposition, hehe. This is the best photo I've been able to get – my outfit from two days ago!

Cabbage and Chickpeas Kurma
Kurma is a vegetable based gravy, made using different kinds for veggies. Along with vegetables, I like to pair them with some kind of beans or lentils to make the gravy wholesome with some Protein added to it. So today I have used Cabbage a veggie and Black Chickpeas a bean to make the gravy.
For making Kurma, a mixture of cooked onion and tomatoes is used along with khus-khus and cashews. This gives the gravy, a rich flavor and texture. So here is my recipe for it.
Vegetables I have used :
Cabbage - about 2 cups (finely chopped)
Chickpeas - about 1 cup ( I have used Black variety,soaked and cooked).
* Use any vegetables of your choice, and if in hurry, use quick cooking small kind lentils which doesn't require much soaking time.
For Wet Masala Paste :
Onion - 1 medium
Tomato (s) - 1-2 medium
Hus-Khus(Gus-Guse) - 2 tsp
Coconut - 2 tbsp
Cashew nuts- 10-15
Cardamom(elakki) - seeds from 2 pods.
Dry red chillies - 2 or more for desired spiciness( if not using red chilies, use red chili powder instead).
Method :
I am sending the Kurma to 2 events.

This bowl is full of Protein....
Your masala paste sounds so spicy and tasty. I'm sure it was a hit!!!

Create Tests and Surveys
After you build a test or survey, you create questions or add existing questions from tests, surveys, and pools. Then, you deploy the test or survey in a course area, such as a content area or folder. When you add a test or survey to a content area, it is "deployed."
Survey questions are not graded, and student responses are anonymous.
About Question Settings
On the Test or Survey Canvas, click Question Settings on the action bar to change settings for different aspects of a test or survey. You can perform the following actions:
- Enable additional feedback boxes for individual answers within a question. If you do not select this option, a single feedback box for the entire question is provided by default.
- Add images, files, or web links to questions and answers.
- Add metadata to questions.
- Determine default point values for questions in tests.
- Designate questions as extra credit, and enabling negative and partial credit scoring.
- Specify display options, such as numbering options for answers.
To learn more, see Question Settings.
Watch a Tutorial
Double-click the video to enlarge the viewing area.
How to Build a Test or Survey and Add New Questions
You add questions to tests and surveys in the same way, but you add no points to survey questions. Before students take a test, you can add new questions exactly where you want them.
- On the Control Panel, expand the Course Tools section and click Tests, Surveys, and Pools.
- On the Tests, Surveys, and Pools page, click Tests.
- On the Tests page, click Build Test on the action bar.
- On the Test Information page, type a name. Optionally, provide a description and instructions.
- Click Submit.
- On the Test Canvas, point to Create Question on the action bar and select a question type.
- On the Create/Edit page, provide the necessary information to create a question.
- Click Submit.
You can add new questions exactly where you want them on the Test Canvas. Click the plus sign before or after another question and choose a question type.
- On the Test Canvas, you can change a question's point value.
- Click a question's current point value.
- In the Update Points pop-up box, edit the points.
- Click Submit.
- Continue adding questions.
- Click OK. The test is added to the list on the Tests page and is ready to deploy in a course area.
Reorder Questions
By default, when you create new questions with the Create Question drop-down list, they are added to the end of the test or survey. On the Test or Survey Canvas, reorder questions by pointing to a question to show the double-tipped arrow and then dragging it to its new location.
Alternatively, use the keyboard accessible reordering tool ( ) on the action bar. Click a question and use the up and down arrows below the title box to adjust the order.
Changing question order only affects new test attempts, assuming the test is not set to display questions in random order. Attempts already submitted retain the order as originally viewed when the test was taken.
Questions are numbered automatically in the order they are added, and the question numbers update when items are reordered or randomized. Therefore, use caution when referring to specific question numbers in the questions' text.

No, Christmas shopping would be different this year. You'd learn from your sensible cousin, who does hers 11 months ahead, in the January sales. You'd do it in the summer. Or by mail order. Even last week, when there was nothing on in the office, you could have taken a day off work - God knows, they owe you some holiday - and the crowds wouldn't have been so bad.
But you didn't, did you? And you aren't lying on a beach far away from it all, either. You're screwed. You've still got most of your shopping to do.
And you know exactly what it's going to be like. Either you head into town, where the shops are running out of stocks and there's nowhere to park (not even the churchyard you used to sneak into: Unauthorised Cars Will Be Clamped, it says now). Or you drive to the giant out-of-town malls, where you'll be queueing from the slip road off the motorway and, once there, will end up walking miles. You could take a bus or train, if it weren't for all the parcels to bring back. You could use a cab, but there'll be none to find.
At least, in a queue somewhere, there'll be time to ask yourself whether Christmas was like this in the past. Those sensuous childhood memories - the scatterblaze of fairy lights, the tang of satsumas or pine needles, the slurpy kiss bestowed on you by an ancient stooping aunt - have little to do with consumerism. You can't, even from your teens, remember doing much shopping: wasn't it all accomplished in an hour or two on Christmas Eve?
But if there weren't so many things to buy then, or so many people to buy them for, worries about the creeping commercialisation of Christmas go a long way back. I remember from Sunday school, in the 1960s, having to debate this very issue: was Christmas about honouring Jesus's birth or was it about presents? My opposite number in the discussion had an impressive series of quotes to support her case that God and Mammon go together: "In thy presents is the fullness of joy" (Psalm 15); "Cast me not away from thy presents" (Psalm 51); "Serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presents with a song" (Psalm 100). She'd been creatively misquoting of course: those palpable, earthly "ts"s should have been an invisible, heavenly "ce". But the debate was lost by then, and so were we.
To bring to mind the pagan roots of Christmas can be a way of feeling less guilty. It's the time of year for foraging: the days are short and cold, and we're supposed to be a bit like squirrels, busily laying in stores for the dark times ahead. And since when was foraging supposed to be enjoyable? Suffering is the point. Of course, the perfect present is like the perfect partner: impossible to find. Naturally the Power Ranger, Buzz Lightyear or Teletubby you've had to trawl a hundred shops for is a piece of trash, and the child you acquired it for will be on to the next thing in no time. So what? It's for yourself you do these things. You wear yourself to a shred to justify pigging out on Christmas Day.
But it's hard to feel like a hunter-gatherer at the checkouts of Lakeside or Brent Cross. And even the agnostic may feel regret that there are more images of Baby Spice around this year than of Baby Jesus. Whatever happened to cribs? I was in Naples earlier this month, where the crib is a bigger deal than the Christ-mas tree: you can buy elaborate wooden ones in the market (not just a stable, but a whole Italian village), or make your own from papier mache. They're not piously Mariolatrous, either: it's customary to place celebrity figures around the holy family. The big favourites this year are Mother Teresa and Princess Di.
Yes, they do it better elsewhere - in Italy, in the Arctic Circle, in Florida (where most places stay open on Christmas Day). You can think of all the lovely elsewheres as you panic-buy over the next few days. You could be there. It needn't be like this. Next year you'll do it differently, you really will.

She is married to actor Ashton Kutcher.

"The truth is you can have a great marriage, but there are still no guarantees."
Demi Moore
"I'm sure there are a lot of people who think I'm a bitch."
"Marriage was a goal. A family, for me as a young girl, was my image of what I hoped for. It was part of the big picture."

"I want things to be the best they can be. I want greatness."
"I don't like to take my clothes off."

"Emilio Estevez was definitely my first love."
"It really isn't anybody's business how many people we have working for us. What's offensive is that I'm portrayed as this prima donna with these sycophants telling me how great I am all the time. Yes, they do work for me, but we're working together for a higher good..."

I Wish I Had Gone to the Mark Johnson Workshop...

Hope your pooch is doing well on crate rest. I went through this a year ago January with my dachshund Nick. he was completely down and lost the use of his hind legs. Crate rest and meds did the trick. You would never know today that he ever lost the ability to walk. He does get a little sore when the weather is going to turn, but that is all.
wish I could have gone to that workshop too-however love your bowl and will have to try that when my studio is up and running again.

Oh Annie, thanks so much for posting Nick's story! Last Tuesday I was sure we were going to have to say goodbye to Queequeg, as he was truly in pain; today, if he weren't restrained, he'd be trying to play keepaway with us.

Gee, I'll pass
The G Fun promises g-spot fun that it just can't deliver. While it is waterproof and comes in a cute color, the material is stinky and is not very body safe. The vibrations are weak and the head is rather large, making it a bit big for beginners and not powerful enough for more advanced users.Published:
AA batteries, waterproof
Jelly, has an odor, not very powerful

Nash equilibrium for coupling of CO2 allowances and electricity markets
In this note, we present an existence result of a Nash equilibrium between electricity producers selling their production on an electricity market and buying CO2 emission allowances on an auction carbon market. The producers' strategies integrate the coupling of the two markets via the cost functions of the electricity production. We set out a clear Nash equilibrium that can be used to compute equilibrium prices on both markets as well as the related electricity produced and CO2 emissions covered.

Chargers Help Chiefs Create History
From Arrowhead Stadium
From outhouse to penthouse – it's a journey that athletes and teams make quite often these days. Just ask the Chiefs. Over the last two months they've gone from top, to bottom and back to top.
With their 23-20 overtime victory over the San Diego Chargers Monday night, the Chiefs pushed their record to 4-3 on the season and they own a share of first place in the AFC West with the Chargers and Oakland Raiders. As the defending division champions, the Chiefs started the season 0-3 and looked terrible doing it.
Now, they've won four in a row after Ryan Succop's 30-yard field goal ended the game with 5 minutes, 16 seconds left in the extra period. They became the first team in NFL history to start the season 0-3 and four games later be on top of its division.
"No way," said QB Matt Cassel when asked if he thought being in first place was possible after that 0-3 start. "You don't even think about something like that. You just try to win one game, and then another. You can't think that far down the road. But it wasn't something we ever imagined happening."
It was a game that took several dramatic turns in the final minutes of play, none bigger than a fumbled snap by Chargers QB Philip Rivers that was recovered by Chiefs LB Andy Studebaker with 48 seconds to play. At the time, San Diego was simply trying to kill clock so they could try a game winning field goal.
"It hasn't happened in years," Rivers said of the botched exchange between himself and center Nick Hardwick. "We hadn't had an issue in years. This one is rough. That's one play, that's something that obviously never happens; it shouldn't happen."
That's the type of game it was for both teams as the AFC West slugfest was not so much about great play, but what team would be standing at the end. There were eight turnovers in the game – four for each team. There were 21 penalties, including one that wiped out a San Diego touchdown. There were 7 running plays that went for negative yardage. There were six sacks – three for each team. There were numerous replay reviews on goal line plays that took away touchdowns, and preserved others.
"It was not pretty by any stretch of the imagination, but at the same time I really don't believe that matters right now to those guys in there," head coach Todd Haley said, motioning towards the Chiefs locker room. "I'm really proud of our Chiefs and of our fans. They were phenomenal all night."
The Chargers came into the game depleted as starters and key contributors LG Kris Dielman, OLB Shaun Phillips and RB Michael Tolbert were all inactive because of injuries. During the game CB Quentin Jammer and RB Ryan Mathews left with injuries. It was the second consecutive loss for San Diego.
"This was the type of game that I thought it would be," said Chargers head coach Norv Turner. "They give you a lot of things to handle on both sides of the ball."
The story in the first half was the Chiefs defense that forced three turnovers by the Chargers. Rivers came into the game having already thrown nine picks, and he threw two more, as FS Kendrick Lewis and ILB Derrick Johnson grabbed the errant passes. A fumble by RB Ryan Mathews was recovered by Lewis as well.
Kansas City got on the board first thanks to a 10-play, 49-yard first possession that ended with a 36-yard field goal by Succop. Later, Johnson's INT turned into seven points for the Chiefs. Cassel needed just four plays to travel 77 yards, hitting FB Le'Ron McClain for a 14-yard gain on 3rd-and-1 and then getting another 15 yards on an unnecessary roughness flag against the Chargers.
That pushed the ball to the San Diego 39-yard line and Cassel then hit rookie WR Jonathan Baldwin in the end zone for the first career TD catch for the first-round choice. The PAT gave the Chiefs a 10-0 lead.
San Diego finally got points on the board early in the second quarter on a 44-yard FG by Nick Novak. It was the first points allowed by the Chiefs defense in eight quarters, going back to an October 9 victory over the Colts.
The Chiefs added another field goal right before the half, as Succop drilled a 47-yarder and they went to the locker room with a 13-3 lead.
The third quarter was all about the Chargers defense, as they kept the Chiefs bottled up and even forced a turnover, as S Eric Weddle picked off a Cassel pass intended for Baldwin. San Diego got three more points out of that takeaway. In fact, they had only 44, 42 and 26-yard field goals from Novak on the board in the quarter.
But early in the fourth quarter, the Chiefs offense finally made some headway against the San Diego defense, completing a 10-play, 74-yard drive with a one-yard TD leap by RB Jackie Battle. Succop's PAT kick made it 20-12.
That's when Rivers was finally able to get the Chargers offense into the end zone. He hit passes of 18 yards to WR Patrick Crayton and 27 yards to WR Vincent Jackson. Mathews caught a pass and went for 14 yards and a first down.
Then, Rivers hit RB Curtis Brinkley for a 20-yard gain to the Chiefs two-yard line, as he got behind OLB Justin Houston. Brinkley scored on the next play, although the ball came loose and Kansas City's defense thought it had another takeaway. Rivers then hit Brinkley on a two-point conversion play that had to be confirmed by video review before it tied the score at 20-20.
With 4:59 left to play in regulation, the Chargers took over on the Chiefs 48-yard line. Brinkley was in full-time as Mathews left the game with an injury. Slowly, almost methodically Rivers moved the San Diego offense to the Chiefs 15-yard line.
There was 1:03 on the clock, the Chiefs had used their last timeout and the winning field goal was sitting there waiting to be kicked. But then Rivers botched the snap, Studebaker recovered and regular ended.
In overtime, San Diego got the ball first but went three plays and out. The Chiefs took over on their 19-yard line and Cassel drove them down to the Chargers 12-yard line. On third down, Succop hit the winner.
And, what seemed impossible at the end of September now is fact at the end of October – the Chiefs are back in the hunt.
"Our guys have handled some adversity this year and it's had a positive effect," Haley said. "They believed they were going to win that game, even though things didn't look very good there at the end. They had a common belief that we were going to come out on top."

As the old saying goes, "That's why they play the games!" I was cursing our bad luck with replays and inability to generate any pressure other than Hali and ruing our defense not being able to prevent first downs on third and long or to get off the field when we needed to. I also cursed the turtle gun offense at times that kept giving the ball back to San Diego. But through it all they just kept grinding, chopping wood, call it what you like. In the end it paid off. We now sit atop the division with an opportunity to continue playing meaningful games into the winter. These guys play their tail pads off and that never give up attitude serves them well. I'm sure the Haley Haters, Suck for Luck fans and those who don't like Pioli and/or Hunt for whatever reason won't be mollified with this victory but I hope the rest of you get the same enjoyment out of this ugly win that I am. Go Chiefs!

For those who say that the in-stadium experience can no longer compare to the in-basement experience with a big HD TV, last night's game proved them wrong. The Arrowhead crowd evoked both civic pride and impacted the outcome of the game. For an out-of-towner with no choice but the man cave, both KC and the Chiefs looked *great* last night.

It wasn't pretty but who says it has to be. The Chiefs found a way and played with heart for just shy of five quarters. I agree with Mark, Arrowhead was rocking. The fans were great. As loud as it was on tv tells you how loud it was in the stadium. It was a special win especially when the game was essentially over. I am glad the Chiefs on the field didn't feel the same way. Who knows what the rest of the season will bring but there are some bright spots surfacing after the loss of three key starters made it look like any success this year was mere fantasy.
