PhD Explains How S-400 Deal Will Affect Balance of Power Between India, PakistanOct 07,2018 SOURCE: SPUTNIK
Moscow and New Delhi have inked a $5.4 billion contract on the supply of Russia's S-400 air defense system to India, with deliveries scheduled to start in 2020. India will receive ten battalions of the system, with a battalion normally consisting of 8 launchers, 112 missiles, and the associated command, radar and support vehicles.
Speaking to Sputnik about the development, Dr. Hasan Askari Rizvi, a prominent political and defense analyst based in Lahore, Pakistan, explained why Islamabad will be troubled by the sale.
Sputnik: How problematic is this purchase for Pakistan?
Hasan Askari Rizvi: The fact is that relations between India and Pakistan are extremely bad, and there are from time to time border exchanges, violent exchanges on the line of control in the disputed territory of Kashmir.Pakistan expresses concerns on this deal because from the Pakistani perspective, it upsets the equation of conventional weapons that exist in this region especially between India and Pakistan. Most of India's defense system is focused on Pakistan. That is why Pakistan is concerned about this news.
Sputnik: What can Islamabad do to mitigate the effects of this deal?
Hasan Askari Rizvi: First, I think Pakistan and the leaders in Islamabad expect that the Russian leadership would help to facilitate a dialogue between Pakistan and India on the contentious issues. If they can use their influence for that purpose, it would be a positive contribution for promoting stability in the region.
Secondly, Pakistan will look for sources to obtain weapons from other countries in order to balance this imbalance which, in the Pakistani point of view, will be caused when these deals are fully implemented.
Sputnik: You mentioned that Pakistan could acquire new weapons. What about new partnerships?
Hasan Askari Rizvi: On the one hand, Pakistan's relations with Russia have improved over the last two or three years, and Pakistan continues to work on that, because the leaders in Islamabad think that with the improvement of relations with Russia and more trade between Pakistan and Russia, Russia will be more inclined to use its influence for promoting dialogue and peace in the region.
Secondly, Pakistan is close to China so far as economic relations and security relations are concerned. Pakistan's relations with the United States are facing difficulties at this moment, but with China relations are fine, and those relations may be strengthened.
Sputnik: Dr. Rizvi, could you please elaborate about Russian-Pakistani relations, and how this deal could also affect them?
Hasan Askari Rizvi: Relations between Pakistan and Russia appear to be normal, and they interact at the diplomatic level, because now, as compared to 10-15 years ago, there is no direct difference of opinion on regional issues between Pakistan and Russia. They share views on Afghanistan, they share views on stability in the region, their trade has increased, and Russia has offered to do some investment in Pakistan, which Pakistan has welcomed.
So if you go back four-five years and compare the relations, they have improved, but there is a lot more scope for improving economic and trade relations between Pakistan and Russia.
Sputnik: Looking at the balance of power in the region, bearing in mind India's acquisition of the S-400s, how could this purchase affect the strategic power balance in the region?
Hasan Askari Rizvi: As far conventional weapons are concerned, the balance has always been in favor of India, because India is a bigger power. So what Pakistan has been doing in the past is, first, also obtaining some weapons from different international sources. Secondly, Pakistan, like India, has nuclear weapons, and the imbalance in conventional weapons is compensated, because both have nuclear weapons, which deters the two sides from crossing the limit whenever there is a conventional exchange of fire between India and Pakistan in either Kashmir or on the international border.

The Vancouver Canucks selected him in the fifth round, 67th overall in the 1972 NHL Amateur Draft. He did dress for 15 games with the Canucks that fall but the majority of his season was spent in the minors with the Seattle Totems.
In the summer of 1974 Bolonchuk was claimed by the Washington Capitals in the Expansion Draft. But in his first three years in the Capitals' organization he was called up for only ten games. He finally had a breakthrough season in 1977-78 when he suited up for 49 games with Washington but still seemed to be a fringe player at best. Given the fact the Capitals were still one of the worst teams in the NHL at the time, it was clear if Bolonchuk couldn't make it in Washington he was not going to be picked up by any other team.
Bolonchuk played another two years in the minors but was never called back to the NHL. He retired after the 1979-80 season at the age of 28.

Here's what passes for a success story these days: The top 12-month CD rates available today are pretty much the same as they were two weeks ago.
In fact, Sallie Mae Bank has been paying the same 1.55% APY since spring.
Its refusal to lower its rate, as virtually everyone else has done, is why the online bank owned by the big student lender has risen to the top of our rankings of the best 1-year CD rates.
The national average for a 12-month CD has tumbled from 0.77% in March to a record low 0.61% this month.
The next best nationally available rate is 1.51% APY, available from:
Melrose Credit Union, located in Queens, N.Y., which requires a $5,000 minimum deposit.
NewDominion Bank with branches in Charlotte and Mooresville, N.C., which requires a $3,000 minimum deposit.
These online banks pay 1.50% APY:
Ascencia, an online division of PBI Bank, which has 17 branches in central Kentucky, and requires a $500 minimum deposit.
H&R Block Bank, an online bank owned by the income tax preparation company that requires a $250 minimum deposit.
TriState Capital Direct, a Pittsburgh-based online bank that requires a $50,000 minimum deposit.
All of these banks and credit unions accept online applications from customers in all 50 states. (We include Melrose in our rankings because it has a unique charter that allows anyone to join for just $1, regardless of where they live or work.)
Compare these returns with the best CD rates from scores of other banks in our extensive database.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Sept. 8, 2014) – Nearly eight years ago Alecia Calloway was given a neatly folded American Flag at a military funeral.
Her husband, 23-year-old Cpl. Isaiah Calloway had died after being wounded in a firefight while serving with the U.S. Army in Afghanistan. During the 2006 funeral service in Jacksonville, Alecia wore a set of metal "dog tags" around her neck to remember her husband's commitment to the Army.
Soon, Alecia will be wearing her own set of ID tags as she joins the Florida Army National Guard.
On Aug. 27 Calloway took the Oath of Enlistment at the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) in Jacksonville, joining the Florida Army National Guard's 2153rd Finance Detachment. Once she graduates from basic training at Ft. Jackson, S.C., and completes advanced training, "Pvt." Calloway will serve as a Financial Management technician in St. Augustine.
Calloway said some people were initially shocked by her decision to join the Army National Guard since her husband had died while serving and she is raising four children.
"They think I'm crazy," said explained. "They keep saying '(Your children) already lost one parent. Why try to risk your life?' and stuff like that."
According to Calloway, her three girls and one boy – ages 6-12 – were very concerned about the decision to join.
"In the beginning they weren't happy about it because they thought I would be doing the same job their daddy did," Calloway said.
Eventually the children warmed up to the idea and gave her their blessings, as "'long as Mommy doesn't get into harm's way,'" she explained.
Besides it being her life-long dream to join the military, Calloway said her enlistment may also afford her an opportunity to eventually pursue another passion: helping wounded service members. In 2012 she was employed as an Army civilian at Ft. Sam Houston in Texas, working with a medical board helping wounded service members. She said that her experiences with wounded Soldiers were priceless, and she would like to once again try to help "them as they transition to civilian life."
"A lot of them need someone to talk to," Calloway explained. "I was able to listen and they were willing to open up to me because of my experience with my husband."
Although to date, Calloway is just one of the 1,350 Soldiers who have enlisted in the Florida Army National Guard this fiscal year, her willingness to join is an inspiration to Florida Army Guard recruiting force.
"We are proud to have Pvt. Calloway in the Florida Army National Guard's formation, and more importantly we are excited for her to become a member of the Florida National Guard family," said Florida's Recruiting and Retention Battalion Command Lt. Col. Robert Kuster. "She brings enormous attributes to the table such as empathy, resilience and bravery. She is truly an inspiration to us all."
Calloway said her biggest concern about joining will be missing her children during the initial training, since the longest she has been away from them was 2-3 weeks. But in the end, she said she believes the sacrifice will be worth it so she can serve her state and nation in uniform.
"I'm very excited about this," she said. "I've wanted to do this ever since I was in elementary school."

Ridox and Advan!
Love this livery on his Supra.
The weekend
Was really shitty, in a literal sense. Thursday night we went out to a new restaurant. I ended up getting some really nasty food poisoning and was in bed all day Friday and Saturday pretty much. What I did do though is get some valuable time in on some Forza 3 and Modern Warfare 2. The wife even laid with me while I played it was pretty awesome. That explains the two day gap of missed blogs.
Vettel's helmet
I'm jealous, my Arai GP-6S is just a simple black and white design ala StormTrooper. Much like all of my other riding and driving gear. But Vettel's helmet this year makes me quite the jealous guy. Even though I have to be bias to the Relentless Energy colors and design. His Red Bull helmet takes the cake.
Showing Orido even more love
I love the Ridox kits for the Supra and GS cars. They are seriously hardcore and still look amazing. I had the Ridox Ver 2 kit on one of my previous Supras. It was pretty sick looking, still is sicking looking. It is in some garage somewhere, the guy takes it out once in a while. I see it in drift event coverage, guy always drifts with out the front bumper on. Manabu Orido designs the kits himself and they get produced for him.

Hello, here you will find philosophies and courses taught by each faculty member.
Libby Davis
As soon as Libby Davis was old enough to hold scissors and crayons, she started making drawings, maps, and dioramas, entering every art contest imaginable by her young mind and overachieving on every visual book report in school. In high school, Ms. Davis studied painting and drawing, up through the AP level. She received her formal training at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in association with Tufts University. There her emphases were sculpture and video. Ms. Davis' skills and interests span many mediums. Because of this, it is important for her to expose her students to that amazing breadth of mediums, subjects, and concepts that she possesses and continues to acquire.
After earning her BFA, she curated and participated in a group show at the MFA Boston and then interned with the City of Boston's Public Art office. Upon returning to Salt Lake, Ms. Davis began teaching with the non-profit arts program for children called Bad Dog Rediscovers America, and decided to pursue teaching further. She began working at West in 2007, and now teaches foundations, ceramics 1, advanced and AP ceramics, and ELP sculpture. Ms. Davis loves working with teenage artists and their emerging ability to find and develop their own ideas, designs and voice. It's exciting to sit down with students and see how different and unexpected their solutions to an assignment are, to see them realize that they can really make their own ideas happen.
Ms. Davis feels most strongly about the need for all students to do creative work in order to develop a creative process from brainstorming through production. In her classes, she emphasizes to students how to break down visual skills in a methodical way, so that the arts and creative work are less mysterious and intimidating. She enjoys seeing students embracing the technical skills and then running with their own designs and ideas. School keeps her busy, but continues to do some artwork as well. West has a great art program and department, and students who continue to make exciting and impressive work, and it's a great to have her here.
Jamie Delfin
Evan Smith
Teaching art over the past 20 years has been a rewarding journey for Evan Smith. He started teaching after graduating with a BFA from the University of Utah in1988 with an emphasis in painting and drawing. In 1990 he was lucky enough to spend two years teaching art to high school students in Botswana Africa with the Peace Corps. In 1994 Evan received his teaching certificate and was hired to teach middle school art at Hillside Middle school where he remained until he transferred to West High School in 2006.
Evan's philosophy is basically that anyone can become a better artist/visual communicator with art instruction. Some people have natural or intuitive gifts that give them an advantage for expressing themselves visually, but anyone can learn basic art skills and concepts to improve the work they are committed to creating. Like learning how to write, play an instrument, solve math problems or learn a language, learning to draw or paint simply requires time and dedication.
Tom Szalay
A photograph is an image made with light. Tom's goal is to introduce students to this mystery. Photography is not only a wonderful tool for self-expression and personal documentation; it is also a means for becoming more attentive. Tom began his own personal visual inquiry when he took off on a cross country trip from his home town of San Diego. That trip lead to Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Ohio University in 1979. Afterwards, he became a professional photojournalistfor the San Diego Union Tribune, Santa Rosa Press Democrat and other newspapers. In addition to challenge of daily assignments, he enjoyed working on long term photo projects. He has published works about Romanian Orphans,Migrant farm worker camps and Somali refugees. Tom became a teacher at West High in 1996 and has enjoyed exposing students to the narrative and aesthetic power of a good photograph ever since. His current projects are: Night River and Digital Distraction. When not at West, he likes to take long walks with his wife and dogs on the mountain trails behind his home in Ogden.

text: FIVE HAPPY WEEKS.BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER.American Tract Society, 150 NASSAU STREET, NEW YORK.ENTERED, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1875, by THE AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington.FIVE HAPPY WEEKS.CHAPTER I."GOOD-BY, MAMMA!""I don't see how I can do such a thing," said mamma, shading her eyes with a hand so white and thin that you could almost see through it. "I never, never can go away, for five weeks, and leave these children; I should not have a moment's peace.""But, my darling," said papa, "the doctor says it is the only thing that will restore your health. The children will be nicely taken care of, and I am sure they will be as good and obedient as possible while you are gone.""You are going too, William; you seem to forget that. And we have never been away from them before. What if Edith or Mabel should be sick, or Johnnie should fall and break his arm, or—""Don't conjure up dreadful possibilities, Helen," said papa; "I'll tell you how we will manage it. This house shall be shut, and we'll take grandma and the children with us as far as Norfolk, and leave them there with your Aunt Maria, while we make our trip. And we will stop for them on our way home. What do you think of that plan?""Well," said mamma, with a faint smile, "I think I'll leave it to you. It tires me to have to reason things out. Auntie would be kind to them, I know, and I should feel easier if this house were shut up altogether."Mrs. Evans had been ailing all the long cold winter, and as Spring began to approach, she drooped more and more, until her husband and her friends feared she would die. Then Dr. Phelps advised a short journey to Florida and Mexico. He said she needed sea-air, and change, and flowers. So it was settled that she should attempt it.The children were having a frolic in the play-room while this talk had been going on. Johnnie and Mabel had been arranging a little basket of fruit for their mother, oranges, apples and grapes, and now they were disputing as to which should present it to her."I ought to, I'm the oldest," said Johnnie. "I'm the biggest and the strongest, and I will take it in to mamma myself.""The bigger and the stronger ought to yield to the smaller and the weaker," said a sweet voice. The children looked round, and saw a little lady whom they all liked. She was Miss Simms, the dressmaker. Her face was as round as an apple, she had two bright black eyes, and when she laughed the dimples seemed to chase each other over her cheeks."I'm so glad you've come," said Mabel, running away from the fruit to put her two fat arms as far round Miss Simms as they would reach."I am glad, too; it's jolly," said Johnnie. "But I'd like to know why you think the bigger ought to give up to the littler. That's what I can't understand. In the history books they never do it. The strong always whip the weak.""Well," said Miss Simms, "I'm not much of a scholar, and I've never read many history books, as you call them, Master Johnnie; but I've read my Bible, and I get my learning out of that. I'll tell you some of my verses, and you can see what you make of them."'Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.'"'Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.'"'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.'"'All things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to them, for this is the law and the prophets.'"There," finished Miss Simms, "if that is the law and the prophets, Johnnie, oughtn't you to give up to Mabel and Edith, once in a while?""I don't ask him to very often," said Edith."Well, I do!" said Mabel."Yes, Miss Simms, I believe I ought to, more'n I have," said Johnnie, quite earnestly. "I'm bound to be a gentleman; and a gentleman is always polite to the ladies. I've seen that with father and mother many a time. So, Mabel, you take mamma her fruit;" and with that, Johnnie handed her the basket, and made a low bow.Miss Simms seated herself in the window, took out her scissors and a great roll of patterns, and then said,"Edith, dearie, will you ask your grandma or Aunt Catharine, if they know where the merino is for your new dresses?""Are we to have new dresses?" said Edith; "it's the first I've heard of it.""Oh, children don't know everything in this house," said Miss Simms, laughing. Grandma came bustling in with bundles nearly as big as herself."You had better measure Edie first, as she is on the spot; and then I'll help sew on her skirt, while you are cutting out for Mabel.""I'm glad I'm not a girl," said Johnnie, "always having to bother with new frocks.""Mrs. Evans is wise to go South now," said Miss Simms to grandma. "I've been hoping she would, it's far too bleak for her here."Edith opened her blue eyes very wide, and then they filled with tears. She hid her head in her grandma's bosom."Why, child, you little goose, it is to make your dear mother well. And you three small folks are going part way with her."At this Edith's sudden tears dried up very quickly, and her face made itself into a question mark."You three children, and I myself, are going to see your Aunt Maria, in Virginia."Johnnie began to turn somersaults to show his delight at the news. He ran off for further information, and came back saying, "I never heard anything so splendid in my life. We are to start a week from to-day Edith. Mamma's going South to get well, and we're going South too, to get acquainted with our Aunt Maria."The children thought they must pack up their treasures at once; and as everybody was just then too busy to notice them very much, they made a remarkable collection. Edith brought out her Paris doll, and its wardrobe, her baby carriage hung with blue satin, and its pillows trimmed and ruffled with lace, her favorite books, and her best china tea-set."I could not travel in comfort without Miss Josephine," she said with much dignity, as she seated herself in the parlor, with her treasures around her. "I could not stir a step without her."Mabel brought her Maltese kitten, and her Spitz dog, and tied a cherry ribbon round Fido's neck, and a blue one round Queenie's."Now I am ready to go!" she said.As for Johnnie, he had so large a collection of must-haves, and can't-do-withouts, that he went to ask his father's advice. Mr. Evans came into the parlor, and laughed as he looked at his little girls, and their anxious faces."My dears," he said, "we are not to be off for a week yet, and when we start we cannot carry much baggage. The old Romans called baggage impedimenta, because it hindered them on their way; and that is just what it is, a hinderance. We must leave all our treasures at home.""Even Queenie and Fido? They will break their hearts," said Mabel."Even Miss Josephine?" said Edith. "She will pale away and die without me!""If I could take my wheelbarrow and my box of tools, I would be satisfied," exclaimed Johnnie."Now, children," Mr. Evans explained, "you are going to see a good many new things; and if you leave your property at home, it will be safe, and will seem new and delightful when you get back. Fido and Queenie will go to Aunt Catharine's and pay a visit too.""I don't believe the week will ever come to an end," sighed Edith, and she repeated the sigh a dozen times that busy week. But it did. Miss Simms cut and basted and fitted. Friends came to help. The furniture was covered. The house was securely fastened. At last they all went on board the Richmond steamer, on which they spent two very sea-sick nights and a day. After that it stopped at the Norfolk wharf. It lay there some hours, but before it started again, Aunt Maria came with a great roomy carriage, and took away the children. At the last moment grandma had decided not to go, so the brother and sisters felt rather forlorn when they went away with the strange auntie."Good-by, mamma!" cried three brave little voices, however, and three handkerchiefs were waved, as they saw mamma smiling back cheerfully to them from the deck of the "Old Dominion.""In five weeks we'll see her again. It seems like for ever," said Edith to Johnnie."Five weeks," said Aunt Maria, "is a very short while, when people are having a really happy time. Just make up your minds to make each other as happy as you can, my dears; you are going to see my family pretty soon.""There's the thea-thickness going back," little Mabel murmured."Never cross a bridge till you come to it, Mabel. It's a poor way to fret over troubles that are five weeks off. I have known people who were very sea-sick coming, and not in the least so going back. It may be that way with you, little one; so look on the bright side."CHAPTER II.AUNT MARIA'S FAMILY.But where were Aunt Maria's family? The carriage, when it left the wharf, had been driven up a long narrow street, quite different from any the children had ever seen before. On either side irregularly built houses, most of them old and dingy, stood close together. Here and there was a new one, which had the air of having dropped down by mistake. They left this street, and turning into another, crossed a bridge, which spanned an arm of the river that ran through part of the town. Now the houses began to be large and stately, and were surrounded by ample gardens, and walls of brick or iron railings separated them from each other and the street.Aunt Maria's coachman drove on and on, and the children began to think he was going to drive into the river, for he seemed to be approaching nearer and nearer to it. They looked out and saw a broad sheet of water, over which many sloops and schooners, and many little row-boats were moving. The light of the setting sun was touching the white sails and the waves with a rosy glow. At the very water's edge they stopped, and Aunt Maria led the way into her house.It was a large mansion. One side of it was covered with ivy, and an immense live-oak tree stood in the garden. Two or three tall magnolias, and a number of fig-trees were scattered through the yard. Though it was still wintry and cold at home, here the trees were in leaf, and there were flowers in bloom.A colored woman, with a red and yellow turban on her head, and a blue and white checked dress on, came forward to receive the children. Their trunks were carried up stairs, and opened, and they took off their travelling dresses, and proceeded to get ready for dinner."Aunt Chloe will help you dress," Mrs. MacLain said. But Edith and Mabel were unused to colored servants, and stood in great awe of her. They were glad when she left the room to get some wood."It too cold for missy without any fire," said she, as she went away."O Edith," Mabel whispered, "if we were only at home! I don't like it here, I just hate it!""Never mind, it won't last always," said Edith. "I wish I had asked mamma what to wear. Do you think we ought to put on our best frocks the first day?""We're company, and company always do put on their goodest things," said Mabel."But not when they've come to stay so long. I suppose mamma would say, 'Use your own judgment,' but I haven't any judgment, I'll ask Aunt Chloe.""La, honey, I don't know," said she. "Reckon I'll 'quire o' Miss Mariar."Aunt Maria came back with her, looked over the children's wardrobe, and told them to put on a crimson delaine dress, and a white apron. It was what they usually wore afternoons at home.Johnnie had had no such trouble. His clothing was to him of no great importance, so long as it had buttons and strings on.But where was Aunt Maria's family? The table was only spread for four. The children looked at each other, but were too polite to ask questions."Bring Lucifer Matches," said Aunt Maria to Henry the waiter. As it was broad daylight, the children wondered why she asked for matches. Henry came back soon, followed by a funny little Scotch terrier, who bounded up to his mistress, and looked at her with intelligent eyes."Lucifer Matches," said Mrs. MacLain, "is my special and particular pet. I call him Luce for short. Johnnie, you may play with him as much as you like.""Come in, you angel!" the lady then exclaimed, as if to encourage somebody who was hesitating at the door. Six eyes followed hers. The angel was a huge black cat, with green eyes, that shone like emeralds. Mabel felt like getting down to pet her, and Edith who did not admire cats, felt a cold chill creep down her back.So, you see, the dog, the cat, the horses, the geese, the cow, and the chickens, with the people who took care of them, composed Aunt Maria's family.After dinner, they had family worship. "We will have family prayers before you are all tired and sleepy," their aunt said. The servants all came in, and Mrs. MacLain read a chapter from John, and gave out a hymn, which everybody sang. It was the beautiful hymn,"Dear refuge of my weary soul, On Thee, when sorrows rise, On Thee, when storms of trouble roll, My fainting hope relies."It was a great comfort to Edith to sing this, for it was one of her mamma's favorites. After the singing they all knelt in prayer and Aunt Maria asked God to take care of this family that was divided for the present. "Be with the sick mother, and make her well," she prayed, "and bless these dear little ones under this roof."So the children felt safe, and at home. It makes everybody feel safe and at home even in a strange house, if there is prayer in it, and Jesus is loved and worshipped there.Bright and early next morning, Mabel was dressed and out of doors, with a piece of corn-bread in her hand to feed the chickens and geese. She felt the least bit of terror when the geese craned their long necks and hissed at her, but they soon stopped this and became very friendly.Folks talk about dumb creatures, but they are not very dumb, are they, children? though they have not the gift of speech. They soon learn to know who love them, and they testify their affection in many pleasant ways. Now Luce was not a dog to strike up friendships with everybody, but he and Johnnie seemed to like each other at first sight. Of course, the very first evening, bedtime came early, and weary eyes were very glad to shut. But before noon the next day Johnnie had discovered that his new companion could perform ever so many tricks: he could shoulder arms, stand on his hind feet, pretend to smoke a pipe, carry a basket, and beg in the most enchanting manner. Johnnie played soldier with Luce for flag-bearer, for nearly an hour, till his auntie called him in."I think, dear," she said, "that I must have you read a while every morning. Edie has promised to practise an hour a day, and Mabel is going to sit by me and crochet. All work and no play would never do, but all play and no work would make you all wish you had never seen Locust Hall.""Now, Aunt Maria, how can you say that! I am sure I should be perfectly happy if I could play with Luce and do nothing else all day long.""Well, I'll let you try it, some day, on this condition: you will promise, as an honorable boy, that no matter how tired you get, you will keep to your part of the bargain."Johnnie was about to promise, when Edith called out:"Better think about it first, Johnnie. I once tried playing a whole day, and it was tiresome enough, I can tell you, before I got through with it. It was dreadful.""If we agree to do it, I'll keep to my part, Aunt Maria; but as Edith says, I'll think about it first." So Johnnie went off to the library, and took down a volume of stories about the Revolutionary war.CHAPTER III.VIOLETS AND ROSES.A few days passed by, and there came a letter from papa saying that mamma was feeling better. This was very delightful to the little girls and Johnnie, though they had had a talk before it came about the duty of being sorrowful under the circumstances. It happened this way: they were outdoors playing May Queen."I never saw anything so sweet as these violets," cried Edith, in a rapture. They were as sweet as they could be, little English violets, white as snow, and perfuming the air. The flowers had come to Virginia early in the new spring, and already there were early roses, slender lilies of the valley, with tiny cups to catch the dewdrops, and the fragrant yellow jasmine flinging its golden bells over every roadside fence and tree. Old Uncle Moses had taken the children to the woods, and there they had seen the jasmine in its glory, and the white stars of the dogwood shining through the green branches far and near."'Pears like," said Uncle Moses, after one of these expeditions, "'pears like God must love posies, de way he scatter dem roun' dis yer land."For all that Miss Josephine had been left at home, the little girls had not been obliged to live without a doll. Kind Aunt Maria had given them each one soon after their arrival. Out in the garden, then, with the dollies, Luce full of enthusiasm, and barking and rolling like an animated puff-ball, or else sitting up as straight as a judge, they were playing queen. Mabel had just fastened the wreath on Edith's head, when Johnnie very gravely observed,"I think we are heartless wretches.""Johnnie, where do you learn those big words?""Well, we're having such nice times, and never thinking of poor mamma. We ought to be miserable, if we had any feeling. I heard Aunt Chloe the other day say, 'Pore things, dey a'n't ole 'nuff to know what dey'd lose, if dey done lose dere mudder.'"Mabel's ready tears began to flow."O dear! O dear!" she sobbed, "mamma is going to die! What shall we do?""Hush, Mabel!" said Edith. "If we ought not to play, why we'll stop; but there isn't any use in crying so. Do please hush this instant."A quick step came down the walk. The children, looking up, saw the young lady who lived in the next house. She had a sunbonnet on her head, and a light shawl was thrown around her, and in her hand was a pretty little bark canoe, in which was her knitting-work."O Miss Rose, beautiful Miss Rose!" exclaimed Edith, "you're the very person we wanted to see.""Mith Rothe, when thith canoe geth too old for you, you'll give it to me, won't you?" said Mabel, putting her hands lovingly up towards the fanciful basket."Mabel," Johnny said in a tone of reproof, "how often has mamma told you never to ask for things in that way?""Never mind your little sister, Johnnie," the young lady said, "but sit down and let me hear why you were all looking so serious when I came up. What lovely garlands you have made, and what a charming morning this is! God is very good to give us so many bright days, and so much joy in them, isn't he?"Before any one could reply, a servant came up, with a request that the children would go to their Aunt Maria on the porch, and hear a message from their mother."Good! good!" Johnnie said, clapping his hands; but Edith and Mabel went more soberly. Miss Rose seated herself in a favorite spot of hers, a rustic chair under the oak-tree, and waited their return. She was fond of children, and since the little visitors had been there, she had often gone in with her knitting to talk and play with them.After they had heard the letter, they were dismissed by Mrs. MacLain, who had her key-basket on her arm, and was very busy with her housekeeping. They trooped back to their friend Miss Rose, and grouped themselves around her, and the little girls began to weave a wreath for her hair, while Johnnie made her a bouquet."The question is, Miss Rose, whether we ought to be happy while we are away from mamma and papa.""And while mamma is sick.""And perhaps might die."Miss Rose put her work down on her lap, and with one soft hand smoothed away the thick curls that had a way of falling over and shading Johnnie's forehead and eyes. She thought to herself, "What a pretty boy he is! How noble and open and candid those eyes and that brow!" Johnnie was a very truthful little fellow, and though he had faults, he would have scorned to tell a lie or do anything mean. At this moment Charlie Hill, Aunt Chloe's boy, passed by with his fishing-rod and line. So Johnnie could not stay to hear Miss Rose then. He caught up his straw hat, seized his shrimp-net, and ran off, without even saying, "Excuse me.""That wath very imperlite," observed Mabel. "And Johnnie began asking the questions too! He ithn't very thad.""Dear children," said Miss Rose, "you are only little and young, to be sure, but you may as well learn that God never wants you to try to be miserable. He means you to be as merry and happy as you can be. Consider a minute. Have you ever been very unhappy when you have been good?""No," said Edith."I have," said Mabel, "when I've had the teethache."Miss Rose laughed."Well, that was a pretty good cause; but generally, when children are not naughty, they are happy. You would only vex your dear mamma, and make her feel badly, if you were moping and fretting here, where she sent you to be with your auntie. Then you would spoil auntie's pleasure if, instead of laughing and singing, you were crying and sitting in the corner. She would say, 'O dear, what queer children these are! I'll be glad when they're gone away.'""That would be dreadful! to have Aunt Maria think that," said Edith. "But tell us your opinion about it.""My opinion is, that it is every one's duty to be as cheerful as he can be all the time. If things vex us and trouble us, let us say, 'Never mind.' If it rains to-day, it will be clear to-morrow. If we pray to our Father, about everything, we will never need to be sorrowful long."Then Miss Rose taught them a pretty little verse:"Casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you."Kneeling that night by her little white bed, Edith said her prayers as usual, and then added another petition:"Dear Lord Jesus, make me happy every night and day, so that I shall love everybody, and everybody love me."Edith was already one of those children whose lives are like "a little light, within the world to shine."CHAPTER IV.CHERRIES ARE RIPE.Faster and faster flew the May days by, and all the world was beautiful. The strawberries grew red and sweet upon the vines, and the children went out with the pickers to gather them, but they didn't work very steadily at this, for the sun was hot, and picking berries is apt to make the back ache. But the cherries most delighted them, and when Aunt Maria told them that they could have just as many cherries to eat as they wanted, and gave them one tree all to themselves, they hardly knew how to express their joy. It was not only in eating the cherries, that they had pleasure, for Aunt Maria let them have a tea-party, and said they might choose their guests."They don't know anybody but the Lesters and the Randolphs," she said complacently to Miss Rose."I shouldn't be a bit surprised if Edith and Johnnie invited a lot of little ragamuffins from Wood's Alley," replied Miss Rose.Wood's Alley was one of those wretched neighborhoods, which in cities have a way of setting themselves down near rich people's doors. It was the short cut to Main street, and when the people near Aunt Maria's were in haste, they often took it, rather than go a long way round. The windows in Wood's Alley were broken and dingy, and the interiors—which means all you could see as you passed by, looking at open doors—were dirty, smoky, and uninviting. Children fairly swarmed there, black and white, and as ragged as they could be. Mabel had made Aunt Maria very angry one day, by taking off her best hat, and giving it to a little beggar girl from Wood's Alley, who had been lingering near the gate, and casting admiring looks at it."She ought to have known better than to take it from you," Aunt Maria said. "She is nothing but a little thief, and you are a very improvident child. To-morrow I'll take you to church in your old hat."This did not trouble Mabel much. Mabel did not yet care enough for her clothes, and more than once she had given her things away before. Her mother had been trying to teach her discretion in giving, for some time."Well, Rose," said Aunt Maria, "if I thought they would do that, I would tell them to have a picnic out-doors, for I don't want Wood's Alley in my dining-room. Those children are just as like their mother as they can be.""Auntie," said Johnnie, "there's a splendid boy named Jim Cutts. He's been fishing with Charlie and me. Can he come to the party?""Jim Cutts!" echoed Mrs. MacLain with a sigh. Then she answered,"Yes, dear, have whom you please; but let your table be out under the trees, on the lawn.""That'll be splendid!" said Johnnie, running off.They had ten or twelve little children at their party, and Dinah brought them sandwiches, cakes, and milk, and they had all the cherries they could eat. Edith taught them one of her Sunday-school hymns, and Johnnie made Luce perform all his most cunning tricks for their entertainment. Mabel lent her new doll to the poorest girl, to take home for the night, on the promise that it should surely come home next morning.The promise was kept.When the company had gone, Aunt Maria called them in, and made them take a thorough bath, and put on clean clothes all the way through. Then she bade each sit down, in the room with her, and read a chapter in the Bible. As Mabel could not read, she gave her a picture Bible to look at. She sat by, with so grave a face, and had so little to say, that they all began to feel uncomfortable, and wished themselves somewhere else. Edith's face was covered with blushes, Mabel began to swallow a lump in her throat, and Johnnie at last, growing angry, determined to stand it no longer. He shut up his Bible, and marched to Aunt Maria, who looked at him through her spectacles, and said:"Well, sir? Who told you to shut up your book?""It does no good to read the Bible when anybody's mad with you," said Johnnie. "What have we done, Aunt Maria?""I did not say you had done anything.""But you look so cross, and sit up so straight, and—who ever heard of reading the Bible, in the middle of the afternoon, on a week day?" said Johnnie with an air of assurance."Well, Johnnie, to tell the truth, I did not like your bringing all the riff-raff of the town to eat my nice cherries.""But you said we might do it.""I should think, Johnnie, you would have liked better to have such friends as Percival Lester and Reginold Randolph, or Maggie and Clara Vale, to play with. I fear you have low tastes, child."At this charge, little Johnnie colored up, but he stood his ground."The reason we asked them was because they couldn't buy any fruit, if they wanted it ever so much; and we thought it would please them and make them happy."Edith had been thoughtfully turning over the leaves of her Bible, and now she said:"Auntie, here are some verses I once read to mamma:"'When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors, lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee."'But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind; and thou shalt be blessed, for they cannot recompense thee, for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.'""There," said Johnnie, "haven't we made a Bible feast?""Yes, my dears," Aunt Maria replied, "and I beg your pardon. The truth is, I have not been very much displeased with you, but thought I would try you a little. Now as you have had a good rest, you may all go out and play.""I think Aunt Maria ith a naughty woman," said Mabel in a very low voice to Edith, as they left the room.Rose, who had been present all the while, heard her, and so did Aunt Maria, but neither said a word, till the children were out of hearing. Then Rose said,"I'm afraid I agree with little Mabel. Dear Mrs. MacLain, what made you pretend to be vexed, if you were not?""I am not obliged to explain my actions to every one, am I, Rose?" said the lady. "Children are a sort of a puzzle to me, never having had any of my own; and I don't believe I know how to bring them up. But these of Helen's are pretty good, especially Johnnie."Aunt Maria had some very stylish friends who occasionally visited her. They sent word beforehand concerning their coming, and great preparations were made. On the day of their arrival, the little folks were arrayed in their very best, and Edith and Mabel took their dolls, and were seated in the parlor, that they might not get into the least disorder."Mrs. Featherfew is very particular," said Aunt Maria. "She will be sure to take notice, if you don't behave splendidly.""I'll be glad when she's been and gone," remarked Johnnie.Mrs. Featherfew however was quite different from what the children had been led to expect. She was a slender pretty looking lady, who seemed to float down the long parlor, she walked so lightly and gracefully, her long silk dress trailing behind her. The next day the two little girls amused themselves by playing "Mrs. Featherfew," Edith putting on a long gown of her aunt's for the purpose.Two very elegant children came with Mrs. Featherfew, Wilhelmine and Victorine. They spoke very primly and politely, and seemed to our little folks like grown-up ladies cut down short. But when after dinner they all went out into the grounds to play, Mine and Rine, as they called each other, could play as merrily as the others.The little girl to whom the dolly had been lent happened to be looking through the palings, just when the fun was at its height. She had rather a dirty face, and a very torn dress."Do look at that impertinent creature actually staring at us, as if she belonged here!" exclaimed Victorine, with amazement."Go right away, child," said Wilhelmine.Now as these little girls were guests themselves, they were taking too much responsibility in ordering anybody off. Edith's face flushed, and she felt vexed. She would have preferred, after all her Aunt Maria had said about it, to have the Alley children keep a little more distance; but she could not let anybody hurt their feelings."That little girl is a friend of mine, Wilhelmine," spoke out the loyal little soul bravely. It was not in Edith, to be ashamed of any friend, no matter how humble.Wilhelmine looked surprised, and Johnnie went on to tell how they had gotten acquainted. Before he had finished, the little visitors were so interested in the ragged girl, that they each gave her a bright five-cent piece.So Edith did good by her fearlessness. We never know how much good we may do, by speaking according to our conscience.The Featherfew girls had a very nice time, and went away well pleased; but they told their mamma that the Evans children were very droll."It's the way they have been brought up, I imagine," said Mrs. Featherfew.Two or three days after that, the children were in a part of the garden, in which was a bridge over a darling little brook, as Edith called it. They were expecting their parents by the first steamer, and Johnnie had been gathering a basket of the ripest and reddest cherries he could find, to have them all ready for offering to mamma on her arrival. As he was running lightly over the bridge, his foot slipped, and he came near falling in, but Edith and Mabel flew to the rescue, and held him up by his cap, and his curls, and his arm, till he recovered his balance. One foot was very wet. It had gone "way, way in," and in that condition, splashed and barefoot, for he pulled off the wet boot and stocking, he went back to the house with the girls.Just as they reached the front door, a carriage drove up. A gentleman sprang out, and lifted a lady next, and the servants began to take off the bags and trunks. Could that be mamma? It needed only a glance to satisfy the eager children, and in a moment all three were rapturously hugging and kissing her and their father.Mamma had grown quite plump and rosy. She was ever so much better, and Johnnie asked, the first thing, whether she could bear a noise now."A little noise, dear, I hope," she said smiling. It had been a great trial to Johnnie to keep so still as had been necessary when they were at home."She is not so very strong yet, Master John," said Mr. Evans. "I'm afraid an earthquake or a volcano would use her up. We'll have to take care of her yet awhile."But the children found that they had gotten their old mamma back. She was a great deal nicer than anybody else, they thought.That night, when it grew almost bedtime, and Chloe appeared as usual at the parlor door, with the candles on a silver tray, and the great silver snuffers, ready to light the young folks up stairs, they went and kissed their father and mother and Aunt Maria for good night. But when they were undressed, and the little dresses and skirts were hung smoothly over the chairs, the little shoes and stockings set side by side on the floor, and the little nightgowns on, somebody came quietly in, somebody who sat down in the rocking-chair, and with one little white-robed figure in her lap, and another with an arm thrown around her neck, and another on a footstool at her feet, heard their hymns, and told them a little story, and listened while each prayed to the dear Saviour. The three little hearts were satisfied that night, because they had had their mother to comfort them and bless them again.A few days after that, they bade good-by to the beautiful seaside home, and to Luce, and the black cat, and the horses and cow, the geese and the chickens. To Miss Rose and Aunt Maria they gave a very warm invitation to come and see them in their own home.Fido and Queenie had been well taken care of at Aunt Catharine's house, but they seemed very glad indeed to have their little mistress back. Johnnie declared that Fido couldn't hold a candle to Luce, and he and Mabel had several disputes over it. Indeed one day they became so angry at each other, that Mrs. Evans sent the little brother to his own room and the little sister to hers, to stay until they were ready to ask each other's pardon. Edith, serene and peaceful, kept out of all such troubles."Miss Simms," said Johnnie one day, "what is the reason nobody ever is angry with Edith? She seems to please people without trying to.""I think Edith has found out a great secret very early in her life," Miss Simms answered."I wish I knew it, then; I'm always being scolded, and I try to be as good as the other fellows. But it isn't of any use, that I can see. To-day I had been perfect all day in school, you know, Miss Simms, and just a minute before recess, I spoke; and Miss Clark was mean enough to make me stay in. She read off the boys' names who had violated any rule, this way:"'Willie Simpson, late;"'Thomas Miller, missed his geography;"'Johnnie Evans, whispering."'These little boys must spend this recess in the school-room.' I leave it to you, Miss Simms, if that wasn't mean.""Was it the rule that you must lose your recess, if you spoke?""Yes, if we spoke without permission.""And you knew all about it?""Oh! yes!""Well, I don't see how Miss Clark could help herself or you, if you disobeyed. You were both bound by the rule, you see, Johnnie.""That's only one thing. I forget to hang up my hat on the nail, and I bring mud in on my boots, and I lose my speller, and I lose my temper too, and I'm just tired of trying any more."Johnnie stood like a little "knight of the rueful countenance," hat in hand.Miss Simms measured two breadths of silk; "snip, snip," went her shining scissors, and she threaded her needle. "Dear me, what a hard needle to thread; my eyes are beginning to fail me," she said."I'll thread it for you, let me. My eyes are bright and sharp," said Johnnie."Thank you," she said. "Now, Johnnie, don't you want to know Edith's secret. It is a word of four letters, LOVE. Love to God, and love to everybody else. That makes Edie's good time.""How can I get it too?" said Johnnie."I must tell you some of my verses, I think:"'Ask, and ye shall receive."'Seek, and ye shall find."'Knock, and it shall be opened to you."'For every one that asketh receiveth."'And he that seeketh findeth."'And to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.'""I'll ask," said Johnnie.These five happy weeks were long spoken of as "the time when we stayed at Aunt Maria's house," and their memory has not yet faded away from the children's minds. They are expecting a visit soon from Aunt Maria, Miss Rose, and Chloe; and Lucifer Matches is coming too.THE END

Instead of flying to Boracay, opt for the more affordable Laiya Beach Resorts in San Juan, Batangas. You get the same white sands and blue waters sans the touristy cocktail bars and accommodations. Bonus point: There are not as much notorious social media "enthusiasts" in search of a perfect "Laboracay" shot, or whatever they call it.
We were supposed to book a room or cottage in another resort but for very strange reasons, the contact persons at that resort refused to answer our calls and text messages (perhaps their inner psychics sensed we're serials killers and they won't allow us within their shores) so we just booked one of the biggest rooms at Triple G Beach resort.
Riding a regular passenger jeep we contracted nearby, we left our meeting place in Tagaytay at 10:30 in the morning of March 28. Two and a half hours later, everyone (especially the more excited ones who didn't had breakfast before leaving) was so hungry so we decided to stop at the random space along the road for lunch. That random space happened to be under a cotton tree held captive by political posters of, what else, politicians.
After lunch, we were back on the road (like we really left the road) to find the beach resort. One more hour, a rough road, and some fifteen annoyed and impatient souls later, we passed by a public cemetery and reach what seemed to be a dead end. Someone had to convince himself/herself that we were lost and badly needed to ask for directions. Thankfully, an almost willing volunteer told us we're more that one kilometer past our destination so we had to go back and eat more dirt bu finally we found what we were looking for.
Thanks to the resort's miniature sign board, we already saw that cluster of Laiya Beach Resorts signboards but still had to eat dirt because Triple G's was just too small to be noticed. So here's a note – if you'll come here in the near future, look for the Sitio Magalang sign. That will lead you to a cluster of beach resorts.

It shouldn't be news to most of you that Inglot is now in Nigeria. If you are a regular BiL reader, you must've caught these previous posts here and here.
Now I am quite aware that a lot of people here in Nigeria are not as familiar with the brand Inglot as they are with, say the likes of, MAC and Iman. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, I'm sure there's brands I am yet to discover and I would like to know what sort of products they have. So today I just wanted to share with you guys a few products that are available to buy from Inglot, a sort of insight to a few products they bring to the market.
Nail Polish
|Inglot O2M Breathable Nail Enamel N3,100*
I cannot confirm this, but these polishes are believed to be 'water permeable', thereby making them 'Muslimah' friendly. I would suggest you do your own research on this and don't take my word for it. I only found this out on social media. They are also very vibrant and I would advice using a base in order to avoid them staining your nails. I have used one of these in a previous Manicure Mondays post.
|L-R: Inglot Lipstick in '139' & '127' – N2,850*
Inglot lipsticks are all super-pigmented. I was informed that the naming conventions for Inglot lipsticks indicate their finish. So for lipsticks numbered from 400 – 500, these would be matte. 100 – 200, crème finish.
Freedom System Palette
|Freedom System 4 Palette – N3,350*
Inglot are famously known for their 'Freedom System' palettes. Like most brands, they create and sell palettes which can be customised like normal by adding in products, but what is unique is these palettes can hold eyeshadows as well as lipglosses.
|Freedom System Lipgloss – N1,000* each
The picture above is my Freedom System palette with the lipglosses in. The texture of these vary from one to the other, so be sure to swatch before you buy. They are more like lipsticks that glosses, what I mean is they are a lot more pigmented than your regular lipgloss.
Primer & Mascara
|Under Makeup Base N4,600* & False Lash Effect Mascara N2,750*
Eyeshadow/Loose Pigment
|Inglot AMC Pure Pigment Eyeshadow – N2,950*
This blended beautifully and super-pigmented
Lip Balm/Treatment
|Inglot Lip Defence Treatment SPF25 – N1,000*
Like I mentioned, this isn't a review. I am just sharing with you guys a few products that are available to buy in Nigeria. Of course there a lot more products available in store like eyeliners, lipliners, eyeshadows etc. I also wanted to let you guys know what sort of price range there are working with. Inglot is cheaper than MAC and the quality is very comparable.
Inglot stores are open in Nigeria in the following states:
Lagos – The Palms Mall, Lekki
Ibadan – The Palms Mall, Ibadan
Enugu – The Palms Mall, Enugu
I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Bimbo and Happiness at the Inglot Store. They were really helpful over the telephone with giving me the prices of these items. Superb customer service, thank you!

Mat Sinner is a genius. Point. Beside his acivities with Primal Fear and Voodoo Circle he made a name for himself with "Rock Meets Classic" in recent time. Year after year he presents us Rock Legends, such as Lou Gramm (Foreigner), Bobby Kimball (Toto), Ian Gillan (Deep Purple), Robin Beck, Bonnie Tyler or Steve Augeri (Journey) together with his Mat Sinner band and the Bohemian Symphony Orchestra Prague. You see, the guestlist is pretty long. This "Rock Meets Classic" celebrated its 5th Anniversary and it was a blast. With Alice Cooper (feat. Orianthi), Mick Box & Bernie Shaw (Uriah Heep), Joe Lynn Turner (ex-Rainbow, ex-Deep Purple), Kim Wilde and Midge Ure (Ultravox) Rock Meets Classic featured the best line-up ever. But let's start at the beginning.
When I arrived at the location (Leipzig Arena) on March 30th 2014, the venue was already packed with around 4.000 people. Everyone was sitting on his chair and was staring at the huge stage. At 8 pm the show started with the song "The Show Must Go On" and first of all we got an impression of the Mat Sinner band and the Orchestra. What an organic and bombastic sound! I had a huge smile on my face, because there were so many well-known musicians on stage if you are a fan of the Rock & Metal scene. You want to hear some names? Amanda Somerville (Trillium, Avantasia), Alex Beyrodt (Primal Fear, Voodoo Circle), Oliver Hartman (Avantasia), Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear) and many, many more were part of this huge spectacle and ensured excellent musicianship and great choirs.
Beside the orchestra and the Mat Sinner band the five Rock legends were the stars at this evening and the first one in line was Midge Ure from Ultravox - a very sympathic guy and an amazing singer. I think I don't need to say that every song he played is an evergreen. "Hymn", "Vienna" and "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes" brought back great memories of the good old 80's. These songs still fascinate generations of people. You could really feel that, because the audience was mixed - there were many very young people, as well as older people and everybody was thrilled.
After this strong performance the show was getting a bit more heavy when Joe Lynn Truner entered the stage. Especially "I Surrender" and "Since You Been Gone" turned up the heat in the arena. Joe is still a fantastic entertainer who has just fun on stage and who likes what he is doing. You feel that he is a passionate musician and his great voice didn't lose anything of its magic over the years. Thumbs up for his performance!
So everything was fantastic on stage, but until that point there was one major problem - and that was the audience. Personally I really hate it when there are only seats, because that means most people just sitting there and clapping a bit with their hands. Yeah and this is what happend. Although there are Classic arrangements it is still a Rock'n'Roll concert, so why is everybody sitting on their seats?! Midge and Joe had a hard time to make the audience move. So to everybody who was sitting in the audience: make a little bit more party and have fun!
After her performance it was time for a short break. A security member used this time to complain about me, because I shot some videos. I've been to a lot concerts now and only at the Arena Leipzig it's not allowed to capture some video material. So sorry folks, but since then I couldn't do more videos.
So, after the short break it was Oliver Hartmanns turn: he sang Pink Floyds "Another Brick In The Wall" in a pretty good version. Right after this classic two legends entered the stage: Mick Box and Bernie Shaw of Uriah Heep spread a fantastic 70's mood with their Evergreens "Free Me" and "Lady In Black". Especially singer Bernie Shaw knew exactly how to handle the crowd. It was pure fun to see them rock out on stage and again I just can say that the orchestra in the background was amazing. I'd love to buy a Rock Meets Classic record with all songs from the show after a tour. It's strange that no one had this idea already. I think this would be a bestseller and also people, who couldn't see the shows would have the opportunity to enjoy these beautiful versions.
After the appearence of Uriah Heep you could feel lots of tension in the whole venue, because it was time for the headliner of this evening: the moment I was waiting for - the master himself, Mr. Alice Cooper entered the stage with his Rock-Chick Orianthi. Suddenly the wohle venue was out of control and there was lots of energy in the audience. "House Of Fire" was the perfect opener and also "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and "Poison" ensured great party feeling. I was surprised how good these songs sounded with an orchestra. Some months ago I couldn't imagine how it would sound. I mean Alice Cooper with an orchestra, this is something that happens once in a lifetime and it was simply brilliant. I will miss those arrangements on future Alice Cooper shows. The cult-Rocker was in top form and also Orianthi did again an amazing job on the guitar - as always. I love this girl.
So after two and a half hours the show came to an end and all musicians sang the Cooper classic "School's Out" for the grand finale. This was the most stunning moment for me: seeing all these cult stars together on one stage. It was unbelivable. The grande finale was supported by pyro-effects, big ballons and huge streamers. You can imagine how spectacular that was.
So, if I should descibe this show with one word, I'd say "bombastic". Sorry for all this superlatives, but it really was that good. It was a great experience and I just can recommend you to attend one of the shows in 2015. I can't wait for the next line-up. "Rock Meets Classic" is an event, which is woth it to travel to Germany (or to any other country where these shows take place). Believe me, you won't regret it!

Around Christmas, another friend – Lynn -- had given me two bars of Beekman 1802 Goat's Milk Soap made by The Fabulous Beekman Boys and I have been using it religiously ever since. Suddenly, it was like a big light bulb went on over my head and I thought, "It's gotta be the soap making my skin so soft."
I was so deep in thought that I accidentally got some of the soap in my mouth and, although it is soap and quite nasty, it really does taste like goat cheese a little bit.
Which makes the unique story behind the soap even better.
If you haven't heard, The Fabulous Beekman Boys is a reality television show on Discovery Network's Planet Green. The series follows Josh Kilmer-Purcell and his partner Brent Ridge as they learn how to become farmers and cultivate their own brand, Beekman 1802. Brent, who worked for Martha Stewart, lives at the farm full-time, while Josh – a former drag queen, New York Times best-selling author and advertising art director -- commutes from New York City on the weekends.
According to Wikipedia, the show is touted as a "gay Green Acres" as it chronicles the couples trials and tribulations as novice farmers. Along with the help of farmer John Hall, a real farmer, who brought his goats to live at the farm shortly after Josh and Brent purchased it.
Lynn turned me onto the show when she invited me over for the series' Holiday special.
Besides the soap, the Beekman Boys are also known for the Beekman 1802 Blaak Goat Cheese – which Lynn served at her party – and it was très délicieux. Much more yummy than the soap.
I was intrigued to find out that she actually bought both the soap and cheese -- not for consuming together -- online; so I had to check it out myself. I was surprised to see that the Fabulous Beekman Boys sell everything from linens to pillow cases to seeds for planting flowers and vegetables to haberdashery at the Beekman 1802 Mercantile online store.
And, if you are an animal lover like me, you will just die over the fact that you can check out the goats – and their pet llama named Polka Spots -- on the Beekman Farm Goat Cam. It is a wild concept to see, so check it out.
I have to admit that I was completely smitten with the show and the two gay guys are hysterical. I tried to get my husband Jason to tune in and watch it with me, but he just wasn't that interested. So it became one of those shows that I would DVR and watch solo. However, while researching this post, I was excited to see that the show was picked up for a second season and will premiere on Tuesday March 22 at 10 pm Eastern/Pacific on Plant Green.
And the Beekman Bleat goes on…

Love isn't obvious - so be smart about it! Florence Esacaravage, an expert in the psychology of relationships, identified the 5 reoccurring obstacles encountered on the road to love. Because 'love' is inherently destabilizing and opaque, Florence structured her 5-step method to find love
Yes, it is! Being single after 50 isn't the end of the world! Meeting someone is all about how you act around new people. Remember, this takes effort! You have to get out of our comfort zone so you can approach new people – if not, nothing's going to happen. Getting yourself in a good state of mind will only increase your chances of getting things going with someone you're attracted to. This open-mindedness is essential if you want to have sincere, genuine encounters. If, on the other hand, you stay on the sidelines and act more like an observer than a player, the person you're chatting with won't feel like opening up because they'll feel observed and judged.
Read about The Naked Truth About Dating After 50 on Betterafter50.com
For many 50+ hopefuls looking to find love, the biggest issue is a practical one – where can I find people my own age looking to meet people their own age? Another big hurdle is understanding how to 'seduce' when you're in your golden years. The approach certainly isn't the same as when you were 19! Booklet number 3, 'In what ways am I unique', can help you identify the most salient and appealing aspects of your personality. No matter what your age, this is what others find charming and attractive about you. Booklet 4, 'How can I find, meet and attract the people I click with', will give you some ideas about where to meet like-minded people, people you can really connect with. So what are you waiting for?
'After the age of 50, your chances of meeting someone are pretty slim'

Deep within the silence of the mind
There is a stirring!
A feeling , an urge!
And then the relentless chatter !
Isn't most talking
A failing effort to protect a crumbling mask
To evade , an embarrassment
To hide a hidden hurt
To shine the light elsewhere
To drown the uneasiness of silence
To impress than to inform
To point a finger away from oneself
The heretic says!
Oh Soul! Respect silence
Stop all this relentless chatter !
Let love do all the talking!

I am an artist living in Eugene, Oregon with two creative passions; I create nature inspired paintings, as well as beautiful wooden products for weddings, events and home decor.
I have always been an artist. My earliest memories in childhood include sitting at the round wooden table in our kitchen, sketching and coloring while my mom fluttered around the house. As a teenager, I knew my life would probably not take a conventional path, as I was much more interested in drawing than math. But I stayed the course, determined to get an education. After graduating from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, I went on to teach art to children in the Denver public schools. But after 1 year, I knew I needed to live a more active life; one that would connect me to the earth and to people who needed to be outside every day, regardless of the weather.
And so, I moved to Durango and joined a fire crew through the San Juan National Forest. After about a year, I had an opportunity to help run river rafting guides in the Grand Canyon. I leapt! Adventures every day, campfires at night, sleeping under the stars...it was a dream come true. My last adventure as a young adult would be backpacking through Europe for three months, visiting places like Rome, Brugges, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Paris...my perspective on life changed yet again.
I finally settled down for a while in Bend, Oregon, and had two amazingly beautiful children. After a couple of years, it was time to establish myself as an artist again. I started an Etsy business creating greeting cards, woodburned products, jewelry, and other crafts. I am working on new designs all the time, and am very excited about what's to come. So please check back often!
Thank you for coming to visit my website, and for learning a little bit about my life as an artist. If you have a question or an idea, I'd love to hear it! Please e-mail me at email@example.com. Have a beautiful day!


text: i came across this bug in another forum from back in november. the 867mhz G4 is commonly running at 533mhz... but there is a fix, there are some real downsides and i'll get to that later but first.. <pasted from other forum> This is with the 867MHz model (the first one). In Terminal, type the following: sysctl hw.cpufrequency Odds are, you will see that your CPU is running at 533MHz, not 867. This is with the processor set to "Highest," etc. The only work-around we know about so far is: 1. Shutdown. 2. Reset power manager (shift-control-option-power; hold 5-10 seconds). 3. Start up. 4. Launch Terminal and test. RESTARTING or SHUTTING DOWN (and not resetting the power manager) makes the problem appear again. <end paste> now the downsides are A) you have to do this shift-control-option-power thing each time you turn on your computer from being off and B) i've noticed that whenever i do this, while it does give me back my 867mhz, it also reverts my Mac's clock to December 1969... even if i had the time set locked. and it appears as unlocked when i open it. this really sucks. sure you can set the time back easily with apple-automatic-time adjust, but if you arent on the interenet and are on the road somewhere and need to use iCal, this can be a REAL pain in the butt. now i dont know if this is just a bug and the computer is actually running at 867mhz when terminal says 533mhz. i'll try to run some benchmarks and see if there are any noticable differences when terminal reads these these two different speeds. and perhaps other users will do so as well. hopefully that is the case and we wont have to do this 4?-finger salute all the time and then reset the clock. ugh.

Objectives. We assessed the prevalence of elevated blood lead levels (>/= 10 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood), risk factors, and previous blood lead testing among children in 2 high-risk Chicago, Ill, communities. Methods. Through high-intensity targeted screening, blood lead levels were tested and risks were assessed among a representative sample of children aged 1 to 5 years who were at risk for lead exposure. Results. Of the 539 children who were tested, 27% had elevated blood lead levels, and 61% had never been tested previously. Elevated blood lead levels were associated with chipped exterior house paint. Conclusions. Most children who lived in these communities--where the prevalence for elevated blood lead levels among children was 12 times higher than the national prevalence--were not tested for lead poisoning. Our findings highlight the need for targeted community outreach that includes testing blood lead levels in accordance with the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendations.
