Hahahaha, my credit cards been maxed out. I cannot purchase using them, good for me 🙂 . Anyway, the credit limit is set P15k, did not increase since I have it years ago, my third card actually. I used to have three, and left with only one, forced to discard the other two 😛
If you are not smart enough in buying things, shopping what you want, think wice, think twise, think wise, think twice. Don't be like me though, i have shared a lot with credit cards in here. Lesson was learned.
It is somehow helpful right, especially during th emergencies where you have no money left in your pocket and in your wallet. Yet do not abuse to avert problems. Discipline is all you need when you have a credit card. If you encounter a problem with credit card, blame the inventor. It came about and originated in the United States in 1920 by John Biggins of the Flatbush National Bank of Brooklyn in New York, so blame John Biggins for having a high bill in your statement 🙂
F or now, I am using my credit card to buy grocery items and some femme stuff that cost not that much. As I said, I have learned my lesson and never wanted to happen it again.
Till then,

Google Opens Up About Glass Privacy, Zombification
Until now, Google has stayed eerily quiet on the privacy implications of Google Glass, seemingly content to let the tech world debate the issue among themselves.
But during a "fireside chat" about Glass at Google's I/O conference, Google employees opened up. Their responses represent the company's most thorough take yet on the privacy issues surrounding Google Glass.
Google Glass, if you're unaware, is a pair of mock spectacles with a mounted display, camera, microphone and touch panel. So far, Google has only sent out Glass to a couple thousand developers, along with a few members of the press. And over the last few weeks, there's been a lot of discussion about whether society would be better or worse off with head-mounted displays and cameras.
Steve Lee, the product director for Google Glass, offered a few responses to the criticisms so far:
- Google purposely mounted the display for Glass just…

The Role of Marketing Analytics in Small Business
With record expenditures in the area of Analytics occurring, and a steep rise predicted over the coming years, "Analytics" has been officially indoctrinated into the "Hall of C-Level Buzzwords." Like most buzzwords, there is always some confusion over the actual meaning and its proper place in business.
My career in Information Technology started, in earnest, working as a Systems Integrator for MRP/ERP systems at (mostly) small businesses. At the time, "ERP" was the latest buzzword and I worked with many clients whose implementations were doomed from the start, simply because their purpose, scope, and capabilities were just not understood by the executives who were dictating their implementation. Small businesses often lack the resources to withstand failures and delays in such large-scale projects, so it was painful to watch (and more so, to participate in ) some of them.
At the time, IT was still very attached to Finance and…

Billinge Hospital was originally founded in 1837 as a Wigan Poor Law Union hospital and workhouse.[1] Mental Health services are still available
Opened in 1968, Billinge Maternity Hospital served as the maternity facility for the surrounding areas, including much of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan,[2][3] parts of the Metropolitan Borough of St.Helens and parts of the District of West Lancashire .
In June 2004, the maternity hospital was closed and maternity facilities were transferred to other units at hospitals in surrounding districts. Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Trust, who administered at Billinge Maternity Hospital, were transferred to a new maternity unit at the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary (more commonly known as Wigan Infirmary) in Wigan.[4] Maternity care units were upgraded in surrounding boroughs at Bolton Hospital, Salford Royal, Chorley Hospital, Warrington Hospital and Ormskirk Hospital.
In March 2007, demolition work on the maternity hospital building commenced. As of May 2007, only a small section of the maternity unit is left standing.

Re: Billinge Hospital
Demolition people often leave one building up until the last minute, I'm not sure if its for storage or perhaps some tax fiddle, I'll get round to asking them one day.

Restaurant Associates and Personnel Plus were ordered yesterday to pay 674 workers $1,008,302 in back wages, after the Department of Labor found they misclassified workers and forced them to start working before clocking in. DOL also found that Restaurant Associates didn't pay for required benefits.
Restaurant Associates is owned by Compass USA, which also owns Eurest, Eurest Services, Bon Appetit Management Services, Flik, and Culinart Group.
"Employers given the opportunity to earn a profit by providing a service to the government at a cost to the tax payer have a legal obligation to follow the letter of the law, especially when it comes to paying their workers," said the department's Wage and Hour Division Administrator David Weil. "Workers in the restaurant industry are among the lowest-paid workers in our economy. Most struggle to afford life's basic expenses and pay their bills; they shouldn't have to deal with paychecks that don't accurately reflect their hard work and the wages to which they are legally entitled."
Senators Harry Reid (D-NV) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) issued a statement calling for the termination of Restaurant Associates' contract.

Selection Process - How to Become a Trooper
The selection process is job-related and competitive in nature. It is designed to determine a candidate's potential for successful performance in the NYSP Academy, and as a State Trooper. No prior police experience is required. The first step toward achieving your goal of becoming a State Trooper is the completion of our entrance exam application.
After applying, the complete selection process consists of a:
- Written Examination
Subsequent to passing the examination . . .
- Physical Ability Test (PAT)
Subsequent to a conditional offer of appointment . . .
- Psychological Evaluation
- Background Investigation and Polygraph Test
- Medical Examination
Candidates who appear for further processing will be subject to drug screening at various phases of the selection process.
Eligibility List
Following administration of the written examination, an eligibility list will be established which will remain in effect for a minimum of one year and a maximum of four years. Candidates will be ranked in order of written scores, plus any applicable veteran's credit.
As new trooper positions are authorized, sufficient candidates from the eligibility list will be notified to appear for processing through the remaining phases of the selection procedure.
Candidate Processing Weekend
Candidate processing is typically conducted during a weekend at the New York State Police Academy, in Albany, NY, approximately six months prior to the start of an Academy class.
During candidate processing weekend, candidates will participate in a series of testing and review phases that may include, but are not limited to: college transcript review; physical ability test; vision test; hearing test; fingerprinting; and document review (background questionnaire, driver's license, birth certificate, military records, etc.).
Physical Ability Test
The Trooper Candidate Physical Ability Test (PAT) is typically conducted on a Saturday during a Candidate Processing Weekend, about six months prior to the beginning of a NYSP Academy class.
The test measures a candidate's ability to fulfill the essential job functions of the position. The candidate must perform three (3) physical tests, each which are evaluated on a pass-fail basis.
Candidates are invited to participate in the PAT portion of the selection process according to their rank based upon the score they achieved on the written examination.
Conditional Offer of Appointment
Candidates who successfully complete the Physical Ability Test are offered an appointment to the position of NYS Trooper, which is conditional upon:
- The successful completion of the Medical examination.
- Completion of a background investigation.
- The number of potential vacancies.
Psychological Evaluation
The Psychological Evaluation, given to candidates who successfully complete the Physical Ability Test, consists of:
A written test: A written psychological evaluation which is typically administered on the Sunday of the processing weekend.
A psychological interview: The interviews are conducted at various locations throughout the state in the months following a processing weekend. Candidates schedule their appointments with NYSP Psychologists during the processing weekend.
Background Investigation and Polygraph Examination
To help determine character and fitness and to verify information provided by the applicant, each potential appointee will be the subject of:
A thorough background investigation: Applicants must authorize access to educational, financial, employment, and criminal history records. Family, neighbors, associates, and others will be interviewed. Derogatory information will be evaluated and may result in disqualification.
A Polygraph examination: Examinations are conducted at various locations statewide subsequent to processing weekend.
Candidates who receive a satisfactory evaluation on the background investigation and meet all other administrative requirements will be considered eligible for appointment.
Medical Examination
Approximately one month prior to appointment to an Academy class, medical examinations will be conducted at the New York State Police Academy in Albany, NY, by a NYSP Division Physician. Each potential appointee will be required to authorize access to mental health records.
The Division Physician will examine the candidate's medical condition and general ability to perform the essential related job functions. Elements of the examination involve candidates hearing, dental condition, height/weight proportions and visual acuity.
If the Division Physician should recommend that a candidate is unable to perform the essential functions of the position, the conditional offer of appointment may be revoked by the Superintendent and the candidate will be disqualified.
The selection process has been developed through analysis of the Trooper position.

Second Chances
The city moves on its promise of a teen arts center unlike anything Burque's ever seen
We often think of giving second chances to those who've committed some crime against society. Thieves, recovering addicts, white-collar criminals—most are given the opportunity to bring positive change to their communities. Why not offer the same chance to a building?
The Ice House operated under a veil of infamy. Often called an eyesore, a blemish on downtown Albuquerque, the all-nude strip club often came under the ire of city officials and law enforcement until its demise nearly two years ago. Today, the building, once a parlor of lust and forbidden fruit, bears the blossom of a different social service—a second chance in providing an artistic haven for the youth of Albuquerque.
When Mayor Martin Chavez announced his intention to purchase the old strip club for use as a teen center last year, he was met with criticism from members of the City Council. As reported in the Albuquerque Journal in May 2006, Council members encouraged the mayor to look to other unused city spaces to host "dance programs" and pointed to costly redevelopment issues such as asbestos and lead paint removal and structural problems. Despite their concern, Chavez bought the Ice House property at 508 First Street NW with funds from the city's budget for community redevelopment projects in blighted areas and publicly proclaimed his intentions to create a teen arts and entertainment center.
Now, nearly a year later, the only public mention of the project on the city level is a nebulous sentence on the mayor's website under "Mayor's Highlights," which directs information seekers to check out Santa Fe's Warehouse 21—a nationally recognized teens arts center—for more details as to what could be.
Despite the seemingly idle appearance, plans are stirring for the mayor's insinuated teen center. An executive communication, EC-07-381, was introduced to the Albuquerque City Council on March 5, which includes a social service contract with the Santa Fe Teen Art Center (commonly known as Warehouse 21) to develop and operate a similar program in Albuquerque. The address of the proposed center: 508 First Street NW.
Valorie Vigil, the director of the City of Albuquerque's Department of Family and Community Services, is hopeful the contract (which her department proposed to the City Council) will pass. "We're very excited," she says. "The mayor is very excited to finally have the recommendation [at the Council]."
The contract was drafted out of a proposal submitted by Warehouse 21 (W21) in response to a request for proposals released on Nov. 9, 2006. The contract would require W21 to develop and operate a teen arts and entertainment center within the old Ice House building now owned by the City of Albuquerque while meeting certain goals such as assisting the city renovation of the building, hosting art/media/promotion classes and scheduling eight performance events within six months, though the exact terms of the contract may be changed within the Council.
While public discussion has only recently surfaced, the building and its potential haven't been ignored by the Albuquerque teen community. The cover of a recent edition of MAP21, a local youth-operated magazine, features a photo of the now abandoned Ice House doctored to display "MAP21" on signs along the building. Inside the 'zine, a young writer regales his vision of what the teen center could be, complete with details for a creepy haunted house fundraiser.
"There is nothing in Albuquerque that is youth-focused like Warehouse 21," Nora White says.
White, the program director for MAP21, has worked closely with the city on youth issues over the past two years, notably the mayor's Music Advisory Panel (MAP) created to discuss the mayor's proposed ban on all-ages concerts at venues that sell alcohol [see Spotlight, "This is the Beginning, Not the End," Sept. 1-7, 2005]. White continues to keep an open dialogue between the city and MAP21 and says creating a permanent teen center is the best way for MAP21 to reach more youth.
"The way it is now, we're on the buses, we're in the street, we're in the coffee shops, we're in the [Heights] community center once a week," she says. "The reason we actually need the spot is because it's centrally located; the youth can own it and we can spread."
While MAP21 has no interest in managing the space, White says they will work closely with the Albuquerque teen arts and entertainment center, but only if Warehouse 21 gets the contract.
"I will not do this if Warehouse 21 isn't managing it," she says. "Warehouse 21 gets youth."
If the City Council approves the request, the youth of Albuquerque could, in essence, own the building and have a direct influence on its future. Warehouse 21, which is currently in a transition of its own [see Newscity, "A New Era," April 27-May 3, 2006], is known for its success not only as an all-ages music venue, but for its adept program which allows for young people to manage, produce, teach, design and administer projects in a supportive, safe, drug- and alcohol-free environment.
"There is a lot of collaboration that W21 will do with all facets of the community that work with youth and get people involved and get going," Vigil says. She encourages interested members of the community to attend the Finance and Government Operations Committee meeting on April 23 to show their support and urge the Council to pass the contract as quickly as possible. If it passes the finance committee, it will go to the full Council as early as May 7 and be finalized on May 21—the next step to getting a Warehouse 21-like teen center in Albuquerque.
"Let's get this going, let's move it, we're excited about it," Vigil says. "This is going to be a professional-quality center [and] we want the youth to be instrumental."
In the meantime, White and the members of MAP21 will work to promote their magazine and youth arts however they can. "The best thing that could happen to Albuquerque youth is getting this teen center," White says. "It's not just beneficial; it's necessary."

Buying a country estate in France seemed such a simple thing to accomplish.
But when Beth, her irascible husband Jack, and their two fat dogs set off, little did they know that it would become such an extraordinary journey.
Surviving near-death experiences, they drove thousands of kilometres visiting French estates that were steeped in both history, and eccentric owners.
Will they find their dream, or return to Britain empty-handed?
The team have been on the road for what seems like months. Leaving behind a trail of disastrous viewings, Jack gives Beth a nasty shock by declaring his interest in one of the estates. It's located halfway up a mountain with a death-defying access route. She's secretly horrified, but realises the need to humour him because things are going from bad to worse.
As tensions continue to rise, her anxieties switch from fear of failure to the possibility that Jack will finally lose his temper altogether, and come to blows with yet another 'incompetent' estate agent.
With six more properties still on the short-list Beth desperately hopes one will fit the bill, and avoid the increasing risk of the mission being abandoned altogether. All this is complicated by one of the dogs that constantly needs medical attention. But they battle on, exhausted. The uproariously entertaining tale continues, but does it end in failure?
As retirement beckons, Beth, and her husband Jack, start planning their future. With most of their leisure activities spent outdoors, they decide to buy a second home with land of their own.
A comfortable lifestyle, affordable property prices and warm weather eventually draw them to the South of France; which seems to be the ideal location.
After weeks of planning, which severely test her language skills, Beth ends up with a shortlist of 13 estates; any one of which she is convinced will be perfect.
The day finally arrives for the beginning of their great adventure. As they set off with their two fat dogs, little do Beth and Jack know what lies in store. It's probably just as well, because this hilarious, action-packed adventure might otherwise never have taken place.

After we have showed you how to unlock and then relock (in case you need to restore the warranty of your device) the Google Nexus 10 bootloader, now I will be teaching you in how to easily root your Android based tablet. This will be an intuitive tutorial, as you will have to apply the one click method for rooting your Samsung Nexus 10 handset, therefore you have nothing to worry about because the process can be easily performed and also completing this guide will only take a couple of minutes from your time.
Now, the root operation is extremely important especially for those who want to use their tablets on another level. Basically, by gaining root access, you will unchain the system of your Nexus 10 from the annoying factory restrictions. Therefore, once the root is granted you will have access to the OS, to the internal files of your device and basically you will be able to improve and update the performances of the same. That's why, on a rooted OS, you will be able to install custom recovery images (like CWM recovery), complex apps and why not even update the Google Nexus 10 with custom ROMs firmware.
As mentioned, you will be making changes into the internal system of your Nexus tablet. This means only one thing: as soon as you start the root procedure the warranty will get void. Unfortunately, this aspect can't be avoided. You shouldn't worry though because the warranty can be easily restored as soon as you downgrade to the stock ROM, or update with an official software provided by Samsung and Google and suitable with your Google Nexus 10. Then, of course the bootloader will be relocked and the root access revoked, but at least you will have the warranty back.
This tutorial was first developed and tested by those of xda-developers, so we have them to thanks for this opportunity. Now, in order to use and apply the one click root method for your Nexus 10, you will first have to unlock the bootloader of your device; for doing that you can use our suitable guide (use the link from the introduction) from where you can learn everything about the mentioned operation. Be aware as by unlocking the bootloader the data which is being stored on your tablet might get wiped out, therefore before going any further with the present tutorial, backup your personal info.
As a final tip, for completing a full and safe backup I recommend you to use our backup and restore step by step guides. You can search for the same through our how to section or you can use the list from below:
- If CWM recovery is being installed on the Google Nexus 10 you can backup the current ROM, or perform a Nandroid backup.
- You can download SMS backup and restore tools for Android for saving the text messages.
- You can sync with Google for saving the contacts list.
- You can save the Internet settings and the EFS.
- Or use a computer for saving files like images or videos.
For the one click root operation which is being explained below, a Windows running computer with Internet connection will be required. Also, you should have the Nexus 10 tablet and its USB cord near you. For avoiding the unpleasant situations, on both PC and device deactivate the security tools first and charge the battery of your handset or else the tablet might get turned off in the middle of the procedure. Also, apply the next steps only if you own the Samsung Nexus 10 device because the present one click root solution works only for the mentioned tablet. If you try to root similar Android based handsets by using this guide you can end up in bricking your beloved tablet or smartphone.
How to Root Nexus 10 using One-Click method
- First of all, remember to unlock the bootloader and backup the data of your Nexus 10.
- Then, on your computer download the required tools and files.
- Start by downloading the Android SDK from here.
- Also, get the Superboot app by using the link from here.
- Extract Superboot on your computer.
- Turn off the tablet and then reboot in fastboot mode.
- For reaching the fastboot mode on your Google Nexus 10 press and hold the Volume Up, Volume Down, Power buttons together.
- Up next, take the USB cord and use it for connecting the device with the computer.
- The proper drivers will now be installed.
- Then, go on the folder where you have extracted the Superboot tool and from there click on the superboot-windows file for starting the root procedure.
- Just wait until the process ends and don't press anything else.
- In the end, the device should reboot automatically. You can safely unplug the USB cord.
Congratulations you have succeeded in rooting your Nexus 10 tablet. That was all for today, so our job here is over. If there were problems while trying to apply one of the above explained steps, use the comments area from below and share the issues with us so that we can help you out.

The guitarist Johnny Smith was meticulous enough to work under the martinet conductor Arturo Toscanini for six years in the 1940s; creative enough to record a unique interpretation of Moonlight in Vermont that Down Beat magazine voted its 1952 "jazz record of the year"; and unintentionally pop-savvy enough to write Walk, Don't Run, which became an early surf-rock hit in the hands of the Ventures in 1959. Smith, who has died aged 90, was a guitarist's guitarist. He was also a true original, whose signature techniques – fluid melody-statements played entirely in chords, special tunings, a pianist's sense of harmony – influenced guitarists from Barney Kessel to Bill Frisell.
Smith was born in Birmingham, Alabama, and after several family moves in search of work, grew up in Portland, Maine – the Depression having closed the Alabama foundry where his father had worked. As a boy, he listened to his father playing the banjo with friends, taught himself to play the viola and violin and practised on guitars in the local pawnshops in exchange for keeping the hocked instruments in tune. By 13, he was teaching adults the guitar, playing for money in a hillbilly band called Uncle Lem and the Mountain Boys, and learning jazz techniques by listening to the 1930s guitar stars Django Reinhardt and Charlie Christian on the radio.
Smith played the cornet in an Air Corps band during the second world war (he was fascinated by aircraft, and later became a licensed pilot), and later led an airforce jazz group for a tour of the south. Air Corps Major Glenn Miller heard the band and would have hired Smith for his own world-famous orchestra had the authorities not overruled him.
After the war, Smith worked as a staff musician in Portland's NBC studios, as a vaudeville theatre pit-band musician, and as a jazz player in local clubs. He took up a player/arranger's role at NBC's New York headquarters in 1946. Alongside playing on Ed Sullivan's and Benny Goodman's shows and many others, the workaholic Smith also played for the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Symphony and NBC Symphony Orchestras, the latter under Toscanini.
In 1949, he even took on a part that had defeated the classical guitarist hired for the task, at the premiere of Arnold Schoenberg's Serenade for seven musicians at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Hung-over for the conductor Dimitri Mitropoulos's 7am rehearsal, the Smith nonetheless perfectly nailed this complex work.
Smith recorded with Benny Goodman in 1951 and then formed his own jazz group – playing regularly at the famous Birdland club, where Charlie Parker became a keen admirer. In 1952, Smith and the saxophonist Stan Getz recorded a version of Moonlight in Vermont for Roost Records that became one of the biggest-selling of all jazz singles - and three years later, the guitarist composed a countermelody to the love-song Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise that he called Walk, Don't Run. The tune was successfully covered by the country-guitar virtuoso Chet Atkins, and then turned into a major chart hit by the instrumental rock band the Ventures, whose bass player Bob Bogle happened to own Atkins's album Hi-Fi in Focus.
Meanwhile, Smith had cut back on his studio work to tour with the big bands of Stan Kenton and Count Basie. It was an exhausting but musically fascinating workload that Smith quit virtually overnight in February 1958, after his second wife, Ann, died, and he became solely responsible for their four-year-old daughter, Kim. Smith promptly drove Kim and all their belongings to Colorado Springs, where his two brothers and his mother lived. He observed that the receding Manhattan skyline in his rear-view mirror when he left was "the greatest view I ever had of New York City".
Although he occasionally returned to New York to play jazz, he settled contentedly in Colorado (marrying his third wife, Sandy Robbins, in 1960), playing jazz locally, opening a guitar shop in 1961, and making his last recordings, for solo guitar, in 1976. In his later years, Smith the perfectionist stopped playing, even at home, if he could no longer play at his best.
In 1980, he published a guitar tutor, The Complete Johnny Smith Approach to Guitar, and in 1986 the University of Colorado awarded him an honorary doctorate. The Smithsonian Institution presented him with the James Smithson bicentennial medal, "for his contributions to American music", in 1998 – and in 2002 Mosaic Records reissued many of his classic recordings of the 1950s and 60s.
Sandy died in 2006. Smith is survived by Kim; two sons, John and David, from his first marriage, to Gertrude, which ended in divorce; a brother; three grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
• John Henry Smith, guitarist, born 25 June 1922; died 11 June 2013

However, I hope that what I have got is of a quality that will please. I want to start with a subject that I have mentioned before, the moon. I love the moon, I find it very calming and mesmerising. I spent a while looking at the moon one evening recently and played about with different settings on the camera. I wish I had the ability to read the destruction booklet and learn more about using my camera but as soon as I start reading, my mind goes blank. I got one shot that I'm happy with.
I would love to get better shots,
Something else that always amazes me are Dandelion clocks. You know the one's that you blow to tell the time, unless you're a 4yr old child and you suck and get a gob full of seeds. I love the delicate nature of the things.
This isn't probably the best shot you've ever seen of one but it shows what I mean.
The birds in my garden are looking somewhat rough, the Blue tits are unphotographable at the moment. The Starling stay for only a second or two and are extremely flighty. The Woodpigeons are great but my dog dashes out to chase them off as soon as they land on the fence. The only birds that are brave enough to ignore her are the House Sparrows.
The best surprise of the week though was a Hornet in the garden. When I first saw it I thought it was dead.
This is exactly as it was. But as i set up my kit it started to move and only then did I actually realise just how large they are.
I can't recall having seen one this close.
I dont think it was well, it found a hole and crawled into it, but I enjoyed the short time I spent in it's company.
I banged my camera this week and have been having intermittent problems with it, now that I'm working I will be able to afford to send it off to get it checked. Thankfully I have the 50D as a back up. so hopefully weather and time permitting I will be able to post again soon. The exposure seems all over the place so best get it checked. I'm also still having problems with the computer, so a new one of those is on the cards too.
Thanks for your patience in waiting for this post. Andy C, you can update your website now.

Undefine The Rules of Colour
A bold and bright lip can often be your best accessory in the hot summer months. The latest trend is creating a soft, blurred, almost ombre effect on the lips, but without the right tools or a professional makeup artist applying your lip colour, this can often come as a challenge. The new Maybelline Color Blur Matte Pencil by Lip Studio will help you create an effortlessly sexy and unique look to your puckers with this innovated lip pencil. Whether you're looking for a bold lip, a slightly blurred effect or a coloured lip, with a ton of different hues for a multinational ombre effect, these new lip pencils will be a must for summer and straight into fall.
Maybelline Color Blur Matte Pencil comes in a sleek and slender stick format, which is slightly thinner than your average lipstick, but not quite as thin as a lip liner. The package is extremely bold and vibrant, which matches the shade within. This dual-ended product features a vivid matte lip colour on one end, with an exclusive blurring smudger on the opposite end. The lipstick side is retractable, which requires no sharpener, ensuring you always have a precise tip, whereas the smudge side has a soft, slightly triangular rubbery, silicone tip. The lipstick side, of course, deposits the matte, highly pigmented shade and the smudger helps to blur out the lip colour, creating an ombre effect to the lips.
Maybelline Color Blur Matte Pencil has an incredibly rich and creamy texture that glides onto the lips with ease. Although it has a totally matte finish, it still has a velvety and silky consistency that applies to the lips beautifully. Once it sets, within a few seconds, it's completely shine free. It's highly pigmented and true opaque in a single swipe, but of course, it's easy to build up to an even stronger colour payoff, depending on your desired look. It feels extremely luxurious and comfortable on the lips, thanks to its soft and smooth formula. Despite being so matte, it doesn't settle into fine lines, nor does it feel tight or dry throughout the day. The lasting power is outstanding, a solid 6+ hours, even through eating and drinking.
Maybelline Color Blur Matte Pencil is the perfect balance between a lipstick and lip liner. It gives you the control of a lipstick, with the precise lines of a lip liner. This easy to use pencil applies evenly and easy, perfect when applying such a bold and intense colour. The fine tip allows me to outline and fill in narrow areas, like the Cupid's bow and inner corners of my mouth, without the use of several products. I actually just enjoy using the pencil side to get a creamy, extremely bold, highly intense matte finish, but the smudger is fun when I'm looking for a trendier look. Although it's incredibly comfortable to wear, it's not moisturizing or hydrating at all, so you're still going to need to apply a good lip balm underneath if you suffer from dry lips.
These Maybelline Color Blur Matte Pencils don't transfer at all, even through kissing, eating and drinking. These really do last the entire day. Since each shade is so vibrant and pigmented, it leaves behind a slight stain, once it starts to wear and fade. You'll need a good makeup remover or cleansing oil to remove all traces of colour. If you're looking for an easy way to create an ombre effect on the lips, you're going to love these. Start with a darker shade in the center and fade it out towards the edges. Blur the colour using the smudger towards the edge of the lips. Couldn't be easier. The new Maybelline Color Blur Matte Pencil by Lip Studio will be available in August for $11.99 each, in 10 vivid matte shades at your local drugstores and mass retailers across Canada.
Maybelline Color Blur Matte Pencil in Pink Insanity, Fast & Fuchsia, Berry Misbehaved, Orange Ya Glad, Cherry Bang Bang, Partner in Crimson, Plum, Please, My-My Magenta, I'm Blushing! And I Like To Mauve It.

To work in parking enforcement, one apparently need not be able to read signs, nor to discern the difference between nine and fifteen metres.
George Borusiewich found this out the hard way. He was on his way to a concert recently, organized by the Federation of Russian Canadians; there was to be music, and a banquet of zakuski — Russian salads and cold cuts — perfect for the summer.
George is 82 years old. He is a retired salesman.
He gets around in a nice little Toyota sedan. The concert was at a hall on Dennison Ave. George found a spot to park nearby, on Augusta Ave.
He read the street signs carefully. All was well, and he locked his car and went, light of heart, to the concert.
You know what's coming next.
Upon his return, George found a parking ticket tucked under his windshield wiper. He was puzzled. He had six minutes to spare. But oh, the ticket was not for a time violation. The ticket indicated that he was in violation for having parked within 15 metres of a crossing sign.
He was puzzled.
The sign clearly said no parking within nine metres, but the ticket said the forbidden zone was 15 metres. He paced the distance to make sure, and then he read the sign yet again, also to make sure. There was no doubt — he had clearly not parked within the forbidden zone, according to the sign.
There was nothing to do but fight, especially because the ticket was for sixty bucks, and George is on a pension. He told me the rest of the story the other day, at the scene of the alleged crime.
He said, "When I went to apply for a court date, I explained that it was wrong, that I had not parked within the limits according to the sign; the clerk was not interested." That, I might add, is the job of clerks when it comes to parking — to express disinterest.
What happened then?
George said, "Then I got the number of parking enforcement. I spoke to a gentleman who was polite but inflexible." Inflexibility is also, apparently, a job requirement.
The inflexible gentleman explained that the bylaw had recently been changed, and the forbidden zone had been extended to 15 metres.
George asked how was he supposed to know that.
The inflexible gentleman gave the impression that it had nothing to do with him, and he added that George should bring a photo if he planned to fight the ticket.
George said, "I don't have a camera or a cellphone."
He ought not to have to buy one just to fight a ticket. He also said, with a hint of exasperation, "They don't have to prove I'm guilty. I have to prove I'm innocent."
"It's a waste of time. I had to go to the courthouse at Eglinton and Keele to apply for a court date. I paid for parking there – two hours, $7. And when I go for my case, again, I'll have to pay for parking again, for a couple of hours." That is money he ought not to have to spend; also, he will tie up the time of the court, the cost of which I do not know, for a sin he did not commit.
George said, "it's so completely ridiculous, it's mind-boggling." He said this calmly. I am not calm. It is as if the city of Toronto is at war with the people of Toronto.
You think signs don't matter?
George, who worked in sales before he retired said, "A few weeks ago, I was at a computer store. I wanted to buy some blank DVDs. I found a pack of 100. The sign said $12.88. I went to the cashier. She said it was $25.68. I said the sign was for $12.88. The manager came." And the manager sold George the DVDs at the lower price.
And that is what — read this carefully — a certain someone, currently in rehab, likes to call customer service; apparently, customer service is something which parking enforcement does not provide.
George said, of his dilemma, "Why not send a parking officer to look at the sign?" Excellent question; it would save money, and the time of the court. More to the point, he wondered why the officer who gave him the ticket didn't look at the sign; see the photo that appears with this column.
I rest his case.
Joe Fiorito appears Monday, Wednesday and Friday. email@example.com

All of the nice things that Hank Kovell had to say about Giovanni Tours (The Mature Traveler, March 9) are true in our estimation, especially the part about being pampered. An important omission from Kovell's well-written article was, in our view, the attention that Giovanni pays to guides and tour leaders.
On our trip Chrissi DiPonzo (the boss's beautiful daughter, no less) accompanied us from start to finish through seven countries. Her attention to detail and our comfort added immeasurably to the pleasure of our trip. She was joined in England by our main tour guide, a young lady from Yugoslavia who remained with us for the balance of our European stay. We still find it hard to believe that one individual could know so much about so many things.

A MUST read!!
I enjoyed every second of 'Game Maker' BJ's 2nd book in her "Game" series, from the very first chapter it drew me in. Please read the "Game" series in order, also if you haven't read BJ's "Bliss" series you should probably start there.... In 'Game Maker' we get to read about Danika (Zander's baby sister) finally going after the man she's had a crush on since she was 14 years old, who's also Zander's best friend Zack. I loved reading about everyone else in the group & how their lives are going. I had moments where I laughed so hard, Danika & her BFF Abi are entertaining, there were some moments that shocked me. I DEVOURED 'Game Maker' I really HAD to know how things would turn out.

Nunca polígrafo alguno ha logrado tanta abundancia ni tal éxito como Voltaire. Prodigiosamente flexible, su arte se plegaba sin dificultad a todos los medios de expresión: era poeta épico, dramaturgo en todos los géneros -con 53 obras representadas-, historiador excelente, crítico profundo, narrador satírico, fecundo escritor de cartas, memorialista y, sobre todo, filósofo.
Voltaire produjo, inconscientemente y sin esforzarse, una serie de obras maestras. Era inigualable en ingenio, perfección, gracia y magia.
Las obras que se incluyen en este volumen son narraciones, cuentos, novelas, sátiras que describen la vida de todos los humanos. Son todo eso, pero son también unos perfectos modelos de prosa. En conjunto, estos relatos nos ofrecen, pintado a lo vivo, el cuadro del siglo XVIII europeo, como lo percibía un observador agudo y de experiencia.

Read information about the authorComplete works (1880) : https://archive.org/details/oeuvresco...
In 1694, Age of Enlightenment leader Francois-Marie Arouet, known as Voltaire, was born in Paris. Jesuit-educated, he began writing clever verses by the age of 12. He launched a lifelong, successful playwriting career in 1718, interrupted by imprisonment in the Bastille. Upon a second imprisonment, in which Francois adopted the pen name Voltaire, he was released after agreeing to move to London. There he wrote Lettres philosophiques (1733), which galvanized French reform. The book also satirized the religious teachings of Rene Descartes and Blaise Pascal, including Pascal's famed "wager" on God. Voltaire wrote: "The interest I have in believing a thing is not a proof of the existence of that thing." Voltaire's French publisher was sent to the Bastille and Voltaire had to escape from Paris again, as judges sentenced the book to be "torn and burned in the Palace." Voltaire spent a calm 16 years with his deistic mistress, Madame du Chatelet, in Lorraine. He met the 27 year old married mother when he was 39. In his memoirs, he wrote: "I found, in 1733, a young woman who thought as I did, and decided to spend several years in the country, cultivating her mind." He dedicated Traite de metaphysique to her. In it the Deist candidly rejected immortality and questioned belief in God. It was not published until the 1780s. Voltaire continued writing amusing but meaty philosophical plays and histories. After the earthquake that leveled Lisbon in 1755, in which 15,000 people perished and another 15,000 were wounded, Voltaire wrote Poème sur le désastre de Lisbonne (Poem on the Lisbon Disaster): "But how conceive a God supremely good/ Who heaps his favours on the sons he loves,/ Yet scatters evil with as large a hand?"
Voltaire purchased a chateau in Geneva, where, among other works, he wrote Candide (1759). To avoid Calvinist persecution, Voltaire moved across the border to Ferney, where the wealthy writer lived for 18 years until his death. Voltaire began to openly challenge Christianity, calling it "the infamous thing." He wrote Frederick the Great: "Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd, and bloody religion that has ever infected the world." Voltaire ended every letter to friends with "Ecrasez l'infame" (crush the infamy — the Christian religion). His pamphlet, The Sermon on the Fifty (1762) went after transubstantiation, miracles, biblical contradictions, the Jewish religion, and the Christian God. Voltaire wrote that a true god "surely cannot have been born of a girl, nor died on the gibbet, nor be eaten in a piece of dough," or inspired "books, filled with contradictions, madness, and horror." He also published excerpts of Testament of the Abbe Meslier, by an atheist priest, in Holland, which advanced the Enlightenment. Voltaire's Philosophical Dictionary was published in 1764 without his name. Although the first edition immediately sold out, Geneva officials, followed by Dutch and Parisian, had the books burned. It was published in 1769 as two large volumes. Voltaire campaigned fiercely against civil atrocities in the name of religion, writing pamphlets and commentaries about the barbaric execution of a Huguenot trader, who was first broken at the wheel, then burned at the stake, in 1762. Voltaire's campaign for justice and restitution ended with a posthumous retrial in 1765, during which 40 Parisian judges declared the defendant innocent. Voltaire urgently tried to save the life of Chevalier de la Barre, a 19 year old sentenced to death for blasphemy for failing to remove his hat during a religious procession. In 1766, Chevalier was beheaded after being tortured, then his body was burned, along with a copy of Voltaire's Philosophical Dictionary. Voltaire's statue at the Pantheon was melted down during Nazi occupation. D. 1778.

The Death of American Democracy
The most serious and realistic threats today to the United States of America are two. One foreign -- the threat of an EMP nuclear attack on the country. The other domestic -- that Congress and President Obama will turn the country into a one-party, authoritarian state—a tyranny. These threats are a sword of Damocles hanging over us all. If it falls it would be a death blow to democratic freedom as we have known it. I have written a blog on each threat. On an EMP attack, see " EMP—The Most Deadly Threat to the U.S." . On the danger of authoritarianism, see "Authoritarianism On The Way".

Mike : The Raid: Film Score Update
Berita Lain di www.lpfisite.com - Linkin Park Fans Indonesia
Mike menulis di blognya tentang update tentang scoring yang dilakukannya untuk film Serbuan Maut atau The Raid. Mike menceritakan perbedaannya menulis lagu untuk Linkin Park dan menulis lagu untuk film The Raid ini. Mike akan hadir di Billboard Hollywood Reporter Film and TV Conference untuk menceritakan pengalaman pertamanya ini untuk scoring film.
Berikut adalah postingan dari blog Mike Shinoda :
The score for The Raid is steadily moving along. In between Linkin Park studio sessions–which are also underway–I'm working on the feature-length score for this brutal Indonesian action movie. With a good chunk of the movie now sounding good, and a lot of great hype and reviews coming from folks who have gotten a chance to see the film, I'm excited to tell you a little more about it.
Writing big, nasty parts for a fast-paced action scene have come pretty naturally for me. There are lots of moments with big beats and unique, exciting sounds. But one thing I've found that's different in writing for film (versus an album) is being aware of how and when to make the music transparent. The music needs to be invisible at times. Writing a Linkin Park song is usually about our personal stories, not someone else's. And an LP song is designed to draw you in, to catch your ear with words, melodies, and sounds. Often, the techniques I might use to create a catchy sound or "hook" would actually take away from a scene in The Raid, so it's been a fun challenge to learn when and how to let the movie's story come first.
I also enlisted the help of Joe Trapanese, best know for his work with Daft Punk on the TRON score and soundtrack. Joe also did strings on the newest M83 album, "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming." Joe comes from a composing / arranging / film background, and we're finding great ways to inform and compliment one anothers' work in the music for this movie.
Here's a cool (fan-made?) video for Joe's favorite track he worked on, from M83′s new album, a song called "Wait"

Withdrawal to purchase / build a house
This scheme allows individuals (or joint purchasers) to withdraw money from their EPF Account 2 to purchase a house (type: bungalow / terrace / semi-detached / apartment / condominium / studio apartment / service apartment / townhouse / SOHO) or a shop lot with residential unit, from a developer, individual, or in a public auction.
To apply, the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) as well as the Housing Loan Approval Letter (unless the house was paid for in cash) or Loan Facility Agreement must be submitted at the time of the application. You can walk in to any KWSP office to submit the KWSP 9C (AHL) (D5) Withdrawal Form , along with the supporting documents or submit via postal services.
In most cases, it would mean that you will have to pay for the following upfront costs first and complete the following before applying for a withdrawal:
- Booking fee + Down payment for the house.
- Lawyer fees and stamp duty for the Sale and Purchase Agreement.
- Obtain the at least the letter of approval for the housing loan.
Withdrawal limits
- Money from EPF Account 2 can be used to pay the price difference between the SPA house price and the housing loan amount, up to an additional 10% on the price of the house. So if a full housing loan (100%) is obtained, the maximum that can be withdrawn is up to 10% of the price of the house.
- If the house was purchased using cash, up to 110% of the price of the house can be withdrawn.
- Any withdrawal amount is always subject to whatever money is available in the applicant's (and where applicable, joint applicant's) Account 2.
Eligibility for withdrawal
- Withdrawal to purchase the first house.
- Withdrawal to purchase a second house, provided the first house is sold, or disposal of the property has taken place.
The full list of T&Cs plus the necessary supporting documents can be found at this section for purchase or this section for bulding a house at KWSP's website.

Think of some of the best known, most celebrated contemporary Canadian artists. Chances are they have been recognized with a Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts.
These prestigious awards are the Canada Council's – and the country's – most important prize for the visual and media arts. Since 1999, over 128 extraordinary men and women have been honoured with this award for their contributions to Canada's rich arts scene.
The 2016 laureates have just been announced and they include Edward Burtynsky, Marnie Fleming, Philip Hoffman, Jane Kidd, Wanda Koop, Suzy Lake, Mark Lewis and William (Bill) Vazan. The Canada Council Art Bank has been acquiring excellent works by award-winning Canadian artists for decades, so it's no surprise that almost all of the award-winning artists of 2016 are represented in the collection. Incredibly, one work in the collection, Suzy Lake as Bill Vazan (1974), conjures up images of two of this year's laureates in one go! In a grid of six larger-than-life portraits, Lake takes on Vazan's facial features, including his bushy mustache, in composite images that are the result of gradual photographic manipulation.
Suzy Lake as Bill Vazan (1974) by Suzy Lake
Artists are known to be prescient, but when Lake made this work, she could never have predicted that she and Vazan would both receive a Governor General's Award 42 years into the future. The two of them were among a group of artists who founded the artist-run centre Véhicule Art in the early 1970s. Lake immigrated from her hometown of Detroit to Montréal with her husband in 1968 to get away from the city's social unrest and to avoid his conscription into the Vietnam War. She soon found herself heavily involved in Montréal's experimental art scene. Suzy Lake as Bill Vazan is part of the Transformations series, comprising nine similar sequences that together provide a collective portrait of Lake's milieu at the time. In each sequence, she takes on the features of friends, including men, women, and even a child, that she said had taught her something. Others in the series (who incidentally also have works in the Art Bank) include Françoise Sullivan, now an Officer of the Order of Canada, and Gilles Gheerbrant, the gallerist who originally showed Lake's work.
The Transformations series was inspired by Lake's realization that she had picked up the speech mannerisms of a male co-worker she admired. She was exploring notions of role-playing and identity at a time of social and political change, and photography was another vehicle where, chameleon-like, she could adopt the mannerisms and likenesses of other people. Creating this work well in advance of Photoshop, she stenciled out and registered features from two different negatives and exposed them in the darkroom. Although the content of the series was not exclusively feminist, its import was. Speaking about the series when her work was exhibited at the Santa Monica Museum in 2007, Lake asked, "If women were looking for a different voice, were we conforming to an established voice to say something new?" Groundbreaking in its mixture of conceptual art practices with identity and social politics, Lake's work has inspired and influenced artists such as Cindy Sherman who would later explore similar territory.
In a career that has spanned over four decades, Lake continues to produce forward-looking art that engages with identity while embracing new forms of expression. Inclusion in exhibitions such as WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution and major retrospectives of her own work have underscored the significant role that she has played, and reveal that she has consistently retained an inquisitive and provocative attitude. In a recent interview in Canadian Art, Lake expressed hope that her early work still serves as an alert against patriarchal influence. Elsewhere in the Art Bank collection, Lake mimics the (then) upstart actor Robert de Niro when she asks the confrontational question, Are You Talking to Me? (1979).

"We are going to have to get a pair of balls and start saying no."
Stop Giving Jurisdiction to the Goons by Consent
Sunday, September 18, 2011
We are going to have to get a pair of balls and start saying no. This war on terror is a fraud from the start. The only people who benefited was the military and security industrial complex to stop the phantom enemy and CIA entity Al Quaida. It is 10 years later and now people are no longer afraid and now is starting to turn to anger. Sept 11th was used as an excuse for a power grab by the Federal government to seize power over every aspect of our lives.
The power freaks in Washington can only get away with what we allow them to get away with it. It is time to stop being the frog in the water being boiled slowly to death. They took our freedoms piece by piece which was so subtle and crafty, We thought that compromising giving a little freedom for a little safety would be good if it put the bad guys behind bars. Now the government wants to be in our face and in our homes controlling every aspect of our lives. I just do not think it will succeed because event the NAZIs and the Soviet knew they had their boundaries and putting hands down people pants. They knew they could only go so far. I see the breaking point coming and a major push back against the power grab coming. This could be a major setback for the tyants.
I do not care if it is the TSA, or some goon cop on the side of the road trying to draw my blood without probable cause. We have to start saying "I do not consent to you touching me" or " I do not consent taking my picture in a full body scanner" and "I do not consent taking my blood or searching me without a warrant". We have to use the power to say " No" When they yell "opt out, we have an opt" really loud. We have to be just as loud or louder saying Hell Yah I opt out. I do not consent to an illegal search!". It is time to steal there thunder and jump inside their heads. If one has the courage to stand up. We might to inspiring people to start standing up too saying the same thing.
The Federal government only has consent if we give it to them. Without our consent, they have no jurisdiction and no power over us. There is more of us then there are of them. We do not need them for our safety. They have become a threat to our security. If I have to worry about my Laptop, cash and my other valuable are being stolen or confiscated by the very people who said they are supposed to keep us safe. Then something is wrong when their is rampant theft, instead of correcting the problem. If they are a threat to our personal dignity and well being. Then why should we allow them anymore dominion not just over our bodies. if they cannot conquer our minds. They will fail.
The Rest…HERE

Living in a condo gives you all the joys of owning a home without the added responsibility of caring for a yard and the exterior of the house. Because living in a condominium is different than living in a house, the condo insurance needs are different as well. For instance, the condo association is responsible for providing the insurance for common areas, as well as the building itself. It is your responsibility to purchase condominium insurance for your own belongings.
What Will It Cover?
As you consider your options in condo insurance, it is important to evaluate what it covers so you can be prepared. Your policy should cover:
- Replacing your personal property, including furniture, clothing and other belongings.
- Repairing damaged belongings.
- Replacement of your living space, particularly any improvements you made.
- Bodily injury to someone while on your property.
- Liability for any property damage.
Many people make the mistake of not buying condominium insurance because they may think the homeowner's association is responsible for covering the damage. Unfortunately, this can be a costly mistake if a fire or other disaster affects your condo. Save yourself the physical and financial burden by purchasing the right insurance to give you the coverage you need.
Reduce Your Costs
Before you commit to condo insurance, it is important to look at all the ways you can reduce the cost of your premiums. One of the best ways is to install a security system in your condo. This system will monitor for break-ins and fires, giving you peace of mind that your home and your family are safe. It is also appealing to the insurance company, reducing the amount you have to pay for your coverage. Even smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and deadbolt locks can improve your premiums. Buying your condominium insurance from the same company as your car and life insurance can also save you money.
Check Your By-Laws
Every condominium association requires specific coverage, typically detailed in their by-laws. For instance, the by-laws may dictate that condo owners are responsible for everything inside the walls of their home. This can include any permanently-attached fixtures and other improvements you have made in the condo. Providing a copy of the by-laws to your insurance agent will ensure everything is covered as it should be. Condo insurance is different than your typical homeowner's insurance policy. Condo associations are responsible for covering the costs of replacing the building or performing any necessary external repairs. However, individual residents within the condo building are responsible for their own insurance coverage for their belongings, as well as anything else inside the condo. This is sometimes known as "walls in." If you need condo insurance, contact us at Steven Graves Insurance Agency. We take pride in helping our clients find the right insurance at the most affordable rates.
