For years I have tried to convince Ricardo to let me do his makeup and I have always been met with a disappointing no but the other day he finally let me do it and boy was I prepared. I had been collecting little bits and bobs for the day that he would let me make him beautiful. He has always had the most stunning complexion, eyebrows, eyelashes and bone structure so I had been eager and extremely jealous of his pretty pretty face.
Having a dark skin tone he obviously wouldn't suit my Ivory foundation so I had collected a tester of his colour foundation and failed to return a dark contour kit when I accidentally picked it up in superdrug on one occasion so i had been ready for some time.
What I used
- Urban Decay Naked skin in 8.0
- urban decay pore perfecting primer
- Elf concealer in light beige
- barry m sculpt and contour kit in medium-dark
- Eyelure London Eyebrow kit
- nyx Baked Blush in ignite
- Mua undress your skin highlight in Pink shimmer
- Nyx Matte Liquid Liner
- Morphe Palete in 35k
- Rimmel London Super Volume and Curl Mascara
- Nyx Lingerie 05
Here is the outcome x
and as you can see he was living for it.
Speak soon,

Don't Fight a Battle if you Gain Nothing by Winning
One can talk about the power struggle between Men and Women all day and never come to a consensus on who ultimately holds the greater blame. Now add one particular color to the power struggle discussion and I swear the air shifts and the rifts become evident real quick. The power struggle between men and women of color is even more prevalent, visible and detrimental to our culture than every other struggle we face. Why is the question always asked, but How do we fix it should be of greater concern? We major on minor things all the time. Things like; Who pays most of the bills? Who brings home the bigger paycheck? Who is better with the kids? Those things are normal and should always be evaluated because circumstances and situations force us to change things around at times. However, every point of contention does not and should not be a straight up Battle. Picking and choosing the right battles to fight demonstrates maturity and only mature people know the value of fighting Smart rather than Hard makes one a front runner in any battle to win.
We must first figure out if the battle is even worth the fight. Why fight if the end result of winning doesn't award you anything? Sometimes the win is in never allowing a battle to begin in the first place. Second, who the hell are you fighting? Is it a true enemy with the sole purpose of destroying you, or is it the person you lay next to every night? Sometimes we get so over-consumed with the battles of the world that we come home fully loaded and unleash on the one that is supposed to bring us peace. Now tell me, where is the good sense in that? Lastly, just because you are right in the fight, doesn't mean you won. Sometimes working so hard to prove your accuracy in the situation, does nothing for the win. You know you're a victim of this when you have proven your ultimate point, but you're still mad as hell. Sometimes we have to relent to others understanding and in that we find the win. Let go and let God bring the truth and the light them. We are not him. If anything we should battle to be closer. We should ward off struggle together and We MUST take better care of each other. After all, If Black Lives Matter so much to Us then there should never be a power struggle between us just about us instead. Always remember, Don't Fight a Battle if You Gain Nothing by Winning in the beginning!
As always it is my pleasure to bring you another Mental Meal for You to chew on throughout your week. Plan to JOIN the JAM each and every Saturday with the Back on the B Cyde show dubbed the SOUL TRAIN of Radio at 11am only on 7mileradio.com

San earrainn fuaim seo tha Alasdair Camshron, tuathanach san Eilean Dubh, a' bruidhinn air diofar sgìre air an Eilean Dubh, nam measg Àthaigh agus Ceann na Creige.
Chaidh na clàraidhean fuaim a dhèanamh nam pàirt de Phròiseact Chuimhneachaidhean Dualchais an Eilein Duibh, air a dhèanamh ann an 2009/2010 le ARCH (Archaeology for Communities in the Highlands/Arc-eòlas airson Coimhearsnachdan air a' Ghàidhealtachd). Gus an ionnsaich thu tuilleadh mun phròiseact, lean an ceangal aig bonn na duilleig.
Seo an tar-sgrìobhadh: (Agallaiche: Cait McCullagh)
AC: There's a mention of Upper Eathie is significant that it's got a Maid's Room, so you've got to look after your servants. A thrashing barn with a granary over, a four-bay cart shed, engine shed, turnip house, wooden coal shed and a wooden garage. The four-bay cart shed gives an indication of the size of a farm as well as the number of stalls in the stable. There's mention that there's a small byre for three, and a second byre for four, so that's the cows accommodated, and a four-stall stable and obviously that matches up nicely with the four-bay cart shed. So that's quite a routine one. I'm looking at the photograph of the Mains of Eathie again. It doesn't look terribly much different from that today, although at the back of it there's quite a few large buildings which are used for specialist contract pig rearing and I think it's the biggest number of pigs I've ever seen as youngsters there. They come there when they've left their mother and that they are reared and then they move off to the bacon lands after that. But it's purely a contract thing done on a fairly large scale there.
CM: And at the time that the estate catalogue being produced, what were they farming?
AC: Yes, well, they were maybe slightly different in that they're a hundred and sixty-seven acres, and it's mentioned that they had a feeding byre for twenty. Now that's something that's quite significant because they would be fattening animals. Fat is not a word that's used nowadays - they refer to them as 'finished', don't want to imply that there's fat anywhere - so they would be, that would be a fattening byre where the animals were kept in stalls, and fed as much as they would eat, purely for beef production. It's not mentioned in many of the other farms so it's thought to be significant. Three-bay cart shed, hen house, workshop, garage and stable for six. The hen house is something that causes confusion because nowadays supermarkets have invented the chicken concept, whereas in the rural areas hens supply eggs, whereas supermarkets, everything is a chicken.
We've got Craighead, which is a smaller farm, a hundred and seven acres, and it's notable because it's got a milk house so obviously we're talking of dairy production here. A byre for fourteen, that's probably one of the biggest byres that's for cows rather than a fattening byre. Three wooden piggeries, so that's something that was obviously going on in Craighead. It's a beautiful situation, high, exposed, wonderful view, as are most of the farms on the road from Rosemarkie, by Eathie, towards Cromarty, and we've got the lands of Learnie and Berryhill. Well, I think Berryhill speaks for itself and I think you can do some summer picking there still. It's become known nationally, and maybe internationally now, because Learnie is the site of a Mountain Bike course where suicidal people go down steep slopes and it's quite an attraction, and various competitions held there and it's quite a busy site, helped a lot by the Forestry Commission who were keen to develop it.
CM: Is there still a working farm at Learnie or ...?
AC: Yes, there is and there's actually a Forestry Commission quarry there which has quite a distinctive rock. It's not a hard rock but it's very good road material and the Forestry Commission have used a big tonnage of that for their forest roads.
CM: And is that what is sometimes referred to locally as 'rotten rock'?
AC: Yes, yes.
CM: Uh-huh. The old red sandstone?
AC: It wasn't quite into that stage then.

A less than thirty minute dessert or breakfast – a strawberry sweet roll cake. Baked in a cast iron skillet with three simple ingredients and covered in a cream cheese glaze.
One of the most popular recipes on my blog has been the 30-minute cinnamon roll skillet cake I posted a couple of months ago. Man it is good.
The husband and I have had quite a few. Okay, way more than a few…
And then I got to thinking, we should change things up a bit. Add in a different flavor. And so a sweet roll version was invented.
And dang. These are amazing!
Plus, super customizable. You can use whatever jam you want. These used strawberry, but you can use blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, apricot, whatever you want really!
You could even alternate and use strawberry on some and raspberry on others.
These sweet rolls were made in a very similar fashion to the other ones. First, start out with a rolling pin and flatten each biscuit as thin as possible. The biscuit then gets a thick spread of softened butter and then a thick jam filling. Basically you eye-ball how much you want in each of your biscuits making sure to keep the jam away from the very edges of the biscuit.
Each biscuit gets rolled up one side to the next and then placed on the outer edge of the skillet. Working around the skillet in a spiral, each biscuit is placed next to each other seam side down until you reach the center. One biscuit will then get rolled up side to side and then cinnamon roll fashion to make the very center. Simple stuff right there.
And while this skillet cake is baking and the anticipation is growing by each minute, the frosting gets whipped together.
A simple cream cheese frosting that is my go-to recipe. But feel free to use a different frosting if cream cheese isn't your thing or you have another recipe that you love.
- 2 packages Buttermilk Biscuits (Depending on your size skillet you may have some leftover or may need to use more)
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1/3 cup seedless strawberry jam
- 1 and 12 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract depending on taste preference
- 1 ounce cream cheese at room temperature
- 2-3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. If you don't have a pre-seasoned skillet, rub about 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil on the bottom of the skillet and set aside.
(I used an 8-inch skillet. If you use a bigger one, you will need to adjust the ingredient amounts.)
Remove the biscuits from the packages.
Using a rolling pin, roll each of the biscuits very flat and thin.
Spread each biscuit with butter and then with jam right on top.
Keep the butter and jam from the very edges of the biscuits or it will leak out. Basically eye-ball how much you want in each biscuit, but the quantities of butter and jam should be used up if you use an 8-9 inch skillet.
Roll up each biscuit and place the rolled up biscuit on the outside of a skillet in a circle fashion spiraling towards the inside of the skillet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the frosting by beating together the powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Beat in the cream cheese that has been softened to room temperature. Beat until completely smooth. Slowly add in the milk or heavy cream until desired consistency is reached.
Remove the cake and let cool for about 5-7 minutes before frosting.
Pipe the frosting over the cake and cut into slices to serve.
You can easily pipe the frosting using a resealable bag and cutting off the tip of the bag and then squeezing the frosting through the hole in the bag. Alternatively you could just spread the frosting on with a knife.

ABOUT | ADVERTISE | NEWSLETTER | FAQs | LINKS | TEAM | FRIEND
Growing up in London, seeing theatre shows or making up my own with my sister, I was always on the lookout for my favourite actresses, female-centric shows, and inspiring comediennes. Perhaps because I saw such a broad variety of theatre, and because I gathered my idols so voraciously, it took quite a long time for me to notice any disparity between males and females in the theatre. My theatrical education encompassed every one from Dame Judi Dench and Julie Walter via Liza Minnelli and Joan Littlewood, plays such as 'Shirley Valentine', 'Once a Catholic' and Spoonface Steinberg. I subsisted on my Grandmother's tales of her time as a performer. For a long time I had no awareness of how many more roles there were for males out there, how positions in the industry were dominated by men or how few female playwrights' works had been performed in comparison with their male counterparts. I was just eager to get out there and join those before me. It was really only later on, flicking through plays where the female part was a token, one dimensional character or turning up at auditions where there were double the amount of women present for way less available roles that the idea that there was anything to fight for dawned on me.
Really, I didn't go into the arts to make a point or prove anything other than that theatre and comedy are awesome and integral to our lives whether we're talking about serious drama or laugh out loud slapstick comedy. Having said that, it's always been at the back of my mind that, at some point in the future, I'd like to add in some way to the voices that inspired me by creating interesting, pertinent stories and roles for actresses. But right now I'm just a few years out of university, working out what exactly I want to do in this world and I haven't quite worked out who I am or what I want to say. When you feel that way you look elsewhere for your inspiration and that's what happened to me.
I met a woman called Rachael at the café she owns and runs in Bloomington, Indiana while I was studying at Indiana University. The combination of her Midwestern openness, her friendly nature and her response to her unique experiences in life charmed and fascinated me and once I left Indiana, I returned soon after to learn more about her. We conducted informal interviews and ultimately this led me to write a play based on them so that more people would get to 'meet' Rachael and hopefully find her as inspiring as I did. It's called, quite simply and to the point, Rachael's Café.
What I can't work out though is, have I finally written that play showcasing a new, important female voice and experience? To all intents and purposes I think so. Rachael is definitely a female role model in my life and the play is all about her life as a woman running a café. But here is my issue. If (and I'm getting ahead of myself now), but if our performer ever received an acting award for this play it wouldn't be for 'Best Actress'. The actor playing Rachael is a man.
I've done a lot of research whilst writing the play and my general feeling is that Rachael identifies as a woman so this is a women's story. Rachael, born Eric Wininger, has three children and for their sake, despite now presenting as female, she hasn't undergone any sort of hormonal or surgical changes which would alter her physical appearance. This way, if they want their Daddy, 'he' is still there. A wig gets whipped off, a pair of jeans pulled on and Eric can appear. So, in order to represent every facet of Rachael's life, we've had to cast someone who is physically male. It's all a tad complicated for us to get our heads around but more so, of course, for Rachael and her family.
Right now I just want to know if 'Rachael's Café' can be regarded as my first foray into writing a strong, female role even if said role is played by a male actor. It certainly doesn't align with any of my experiences in the theatre growing up, but for those of us who have got to know Rachael either in person or through watching the play I don't think there's any question that this is a woman's story. Perhaps a different kind of woman, and a different kind of story, than we're used to but one nonetheless.

School Watch
Hello and welcome to "School Watch". Each week a different animal and plant will be highlighted with some unusual facts and figures. Although anyone can read and enjoy these weekly articles, we hope that teachers may make use of the information in class along with their students. At the end of each piece are 10 questions. The answers to these questions can be found with the passage. Please feel free to copy the articles and print them out.
Note for teachers:
Why not use "School Watch" with your class on a regular basis. If you have internet access you can log on and view each plant or animal during class. When finished you can then scroll down to the questions and use these as a means of revision. Otherwise, you can print off the information on each species along with the questions and allow your students to do them as an exercise.
Alternatively, you might like to use "School Watch" as a quiz session to encourage an interest in natural history with your students. Whatever way you choose to use it, all we hope is that you enjoy it.

Government and Politics in Madagascar, 1994
Full index of Country Studies-Madagascar
Foreign Trade
As of 1992, 81.1 percent (US$311 million) of Madagascar's total exports of US$383.5 million were to the industrialized West. Four countries served as the primary destination of Malagasy goods: France (30.4 percent), the United States (13.3 percent), Germany (10.1 percent) and Japan (7.5 percent) (see table 6, Appendix). In contrast, only 51 percent (US$313.2 million) of Madagascar's total imports of US$614.1 million in 1992 came from the industrialized West (a sharp decline from 78.7 percent in 1980), and only France remained a significant partner (providing 29.9 of Madagascar's imports). Whereas Japan and Germany were responsible for 4.3 and 3.9 percent of Madagascar's imports, respectively, the United States contributed a meager 1.1 percent. Russia remains marginal in terms of both imports and exports (less than 1 percent), and, along with the other former communist countries, has never constituted a major trading partner of Madagascar. In aggregate terms, Madagascar's exports to the industrialized West dropped slightly from US$316 million in 1980 to US$311 million in 1992.
Two trends in trade with the developing world stand out. First, Madagascar slightly increased the percentage of goods exported to other southern countries from 14.3 percent in 1980 to 18.8 percent in 1992. Other African countries were the major market for Malagasy goods (11.0 percent) in 1992, Asia came in second (7.1 percent), and the Middle East and Latin America together imported only 0.5 percent. In aggregate terms, Madagascar's exports to the developing south expanded from US$57.5 million in 1980 to US$72.3 million in 1992.
A second, more noticeable shift occurred in terms of Madagascar's imports from other southern countries, increasing from US$55 million in 1980 to US$301 million in 1992. In sharp contrast to regional patterns related to exports, Madagascar imported the majority of its goods from Asia (15.5 percent) and the Middle East (8.5 percent). Other African countries were the source of only 6.1 percent of Madagascar's imports, and Latin America registered the negligible total of 2.1 percent. A burgeoning trade deficit that exceeded US$230 million in 1992 remains one of the biggest trade problems confronting Malagasy policy makers.
Data as of August 1994

Writing Our Book
Provisionally titled 'My Secret Sister'
It is said that most families have their secrets, but our family's conspiracies were many and, like ripples across a lake, continued to disturb the fabric of our lives and the essence of who we were across the years. Now, after 57 years apart, we are united at last. This is an uplifting story of our triumph together over our past.
Writing our story has helped us to revisit many memories, both good and bad, rise above our history and move forward together with joy in our new-found companionship.
Questions and Answers
What made you write this book?
Helen: "Writing the book was the final part of the story – cathartic. It was good for us. Something that we both needed to do, to help us understand. Also, it's something we want to share, a story we want to tell. It's for both of us."
How do you feel, now that you've written the book?
Jenny: "I feel extremely glad that we've written the book. It's been a very positive experience and has brought Helen and I very much closer. We've also learnt more about each other's lives. It's sometimes been a long and painful journey, as we go over those hardships and traumas again, especially for Helen. But it's been a therapeutic project."
Now that the book's finished, how do you feel about it and about your relationship as sisters?
Jenny: "I feel it's a joyous story, the story of Helen and I finding each other and enjoying our life together as sisters. We've become so much closer through the project, learning about each other's lives, families, strengths and weaknesses. We've had quite a lot of knocks along the way. I think writing about them has made us stronger people. It has helped us put everything into perspective and move on with our lives. Now we're making up for all those lost years and spending as much time as we can together. Writing this book has been an adventure!"
Helen: "Yes, being together now has brought us so much joy. We want to share that joy. It's been an inspiration to us, to share what has happened and move into the future.
Finally, there's been quite a lot of press interest already. How has that experience been for you?
Jenny: "Yes, there's been a flurry of media interest, with several articles in provincial papers, two features in the Daily Mail, a radio interview and a TV recording. I've also been asked to do some golf related interviews through the year. I'm buzzing. It's a huge step forward."
Helen: "It's all new to me! I've never done anything like this before. It's all go! I'm fine with it because we want to get our story out there. It's a very personal story to us both, so we need to treat it all sensitively, and be aware of how it may affect people, for example concerning adoption issues, missing relatives or domestic violence. We hope it will show people that everything came out well for both of us and we look forward to many happy times together

Unsupervised Play – The Genius of Play Play Talk
Should Kids Be Allowed Unsupervised Play?Genius of Play - Play Talk
I let my kids play unsupervised.
There. I said it.
Some of you are praising Hallelujah! I have the good sense God gave me to raise strong, independent, creative kids. Some of you just clutched your pearls and prayed on my feral children. Most of you likely fall somewhere in between.
Perfect parenting doesn't exist and we all do the best we can with the tools at our disposal.
The Genius of Play – Play Talk
Since we're all sitting in this kumbaya circle of acceptance, lets talk play as we sip our (cold) coffee and (sorta) watch the wee ones run around the park like banshees.
The Genius of Play has generously offered to compensate me for oversharing but trust all mom-fails and opinions are strictly my own.
Responsible or Negligent
There's a big difference between age-appropriate unsupervised play time and being negligent of your children. I'm certainly not advocating for the latter and trust you keep your kids' safety in mind.
I, for one, certainly pass no judgement on your parenting style. You won't find me casting stones if your kids play outside alone or – heaven forbid – have learned to responsibly take city transit for short distances.
What's the worst that can happen
We all ask ourselves this, and while I have no suitable answer I can tell you what * has * happened. Shining moments of glory these were not, and certainly no Mother Of The Year awards were handed out.#Parenting What happened when I allowed unsupervised play #geniusofplay @TheToyAssoc by @XD_Impact Click To Tweet
Dancing in Windows
Jasmine & I were a fierce duo nearly from birth. Around the time she was about 18 months old we shared a bedroom in a ground floor apartment.
I've always enforced nap times and on this particular day I could hear Jasmine messing around in the bedroom. I was determined to let her fall asleep – were were both exhausted – and knew if I just gave her enough time she'd tire out and hunker down.
Except it suddenly got quiet. TOO quiet.
I peeked into her bedroom and almost pissed myself laughing. Knowing no one would believe me without hard evidence, I quietly made my way outside – phone in hand – ready to record this nonsense.
< Waves Furiously >
My dear, sweet, child was standing in the windowsill wearing naught by a nappy and a t-shirt, waving furiously at all the cars that went by and the people walking out front. She was dancing, playing peekaboo, and having a blast.
Oh. Um. Small detail. …We lived on the main drag.
A minute went by before she noticed me, and she was so proud it was hard to get mad.
The Holiday Haircut
Annabelle has always been more independent than her sisters. Her art desk is her 'Office' and she can be found there doing 'Homework' she's invented or drawing endless pictures of who and what she misses.
On a few occasions I have found myself coming out of the washroom to find her in a pile of bread or engrossed in 'The Elements of Style' – upside down, of course. She 'read' that book for 1/2 hour before letting it down!
Usually a fairly tame child, she did surprise us with an impromptu haircut a week before Christmas one year.
The Evidence
That Time I took a Shower
One afternoon I decided to have a shower while Chloe napped. I needed sleep, but that day I needed a shower even more.
I waited until she was snoring and ninja-rolled out of the bedroom. I came back to find her with headphones ones, 1/2 dressed, writing on her foot with pen (I'd been working in the bed previously). I sat there and watched until she realized I was back.
Chloe's Cat Soup
When Chloe was a baby I couldn't turn around for a minute without finding her attached to one of the cats. It seems they gravitated towards her, and she to them.
These guys were great – and after 3 babies were extremely tolerant. Plus, she was kind of their favorite because she shared food with them.
Once she started crawling we'd find her making 'cat soup' – dumping all the cat food in the water bowl, then trying to shove it in her mouth – if we accidentally left the gate open or even escaped for a minute to go pee.
That Time UPS Rang the Doorbell
Being the youngest of three there was a year when Chloe was still at home and both her sisters were at school.
That child did not waste a single moment of those hours, as can be evidenced here.
I came back from signing for a package and found her sharing a sucker with Olaf. Gramma gave her the sucker. Olaf gave her the puppy eyes. "I'm SHARING Maman!".
Olaf's Piano Lessons
In case you haven't figured it out, Chloe is our Animal Whisperer. On this day I had to take a work call and she went to the other living room to play quietly for a few minutes.
This is what I came back to.
Olaf The Baby
I'm not ashamed to say that I let me kids play in a room alone – be it the living room, their bedroom, or somewhere in the stairs.
Once again, I found Olaf in a compromising situation. His lips were sealed though. Never once did he tattle tale on her!
Helicopter Parenting?
Clearly, "Helicopter Parent" I am not.
My kids regularly participate in age-appropriate unsupervised play such as spending 15-20 at the park after school (1 block away), playing out front on their bikes (I'll add I would never have allowed this in our old neighborhood), and for the oldest allowing her to go for a short walk on her own before dinner.
All three benefit greatly from being able to spend time by themselves. I have seen their creativity flourish, their problem solving skills improve, and their self confidence take a boost when they accomplish something they've been working on for a while, supposedly in secret.
They're so damn loud though, what they're up to is rarely secretive.
What's the worst that could happen? Probably a lot, likely no different than the risk of driving to the supermarket. What has happened isn't all that bad, all things considered. They are safe, they are well, and that's what matters to me.
How do you navigate keeping * your * kids safe while giving them the independence they crave?

Google's +1 Button: What it Does and What Happens When You Click It
On March 30, 2011, Google officially blogged about its +1 button. It's a rectangle with a +1 symbol, visible in Google search results. Google uses it to help people share results they like among their friends. It's a tool for web publishers too. If you run a web site, adding the +1 button allows people to show they like your page – much like a Retweet on Twitter or Like on Facebook.
In short +1 is a way for people to recommend pages they like through Google.
You may see +1 next to a list of pages in returned from a Google search. You may see it among the other social sharing buttons on web pages when visiting your favorite site or blog. Once you are logged into your Google account you may see a note showing you which of your friends liked the item you see in search results (you must be logged in or it won't show up in results of Google search).
+1 gives you a way to publicly recommend content on the Web. It works like this: You find something on the Web – something you appreciate so much, you want to show it.
So you click the +1 button.
What Happens when you click the +1 Button
Here is what happens:
- In search results, the +1 turns blue– (to show you clicked it)
- A link to the page shows up in a list of things you +1'd in your Google Profile
- If you click it on a page (as opposed to a search result), your click may be tallied with other clicks and the total shown to others on published pages
- Your +1 click may show up with your profile picture in future search results, identifying your "like" action among people you're already connected to through Google. Eventually your personal +1's may appear to your contacts when connected to you via other social networks as well.
Here is an example of the change to your Google social profile when you click +1:
Google likens +1 to a helpful note you leave for your friends, in this 1-minute intro video:

Oh wow! Looking at that makes you wonder if people had used something like that long ago. It makes the car look kinda tough-looking, don't you think? It might not be practical to use, back then and today, but you have to admit that it does have a certain kind of style if it gets to drive through water.ReplyDelete

(See update #13)
"FINISH LINE: The Rise and Demise of Off-Track Betting" is the first documentary film of the untold story of OTB. It is a fascinating story of vice, political corruption, New York, and horses...but most of all - it is a story of people: the people who worked at OTB, the people who played at OTB, and the people who killed OTB.
For nearly 40 years Off-Track Betting, or OTB, was a New York institution. It was the only legal way fans could place bets on horse races away from being at the track. OTB employed thousands of unionized city workers, supported local businesses, and was the main supplier of customers to the horse racing industry. It had many detractors as it did fans, but one thing could not be disputed: OTB collected over a billion dollars a year in bets.
Decades of corporate greed, political corruption, and dirty deals bled the coffers dry. Off-Track Betting was shut down in bankruptcy in 2010. Thousands of people lost their jobs, many small business owners were forced to close, and New York's horse racing industry - once the largest in the world - has never been the same.
As city employees, OTB workers were promised a lifetime of health care and a pension upon their retirement. A loophole in the law was exploited when OTB closed and the retirees were stripped of their health care. Several people, including one interview subject in the film and another who passed before doing an interview, died as a direct result of having their health care revoked.
"Finish Line" examines why the billion dollar bookie was allowed to fail, who benefitted politically, and how did you - the taxpayer - pay the price for its demise?
I am not only a filmmaker (2010's indie feature Chloe, A to Z) but I am also a former part-time employee of OTB and was greatly affected by its demise. But my story pales in comparison to those people who worked their entire lives at OTB. I have seen my friends, some of whom appear in this film, die as a direct result of losing their jobs and health care after working at OTB for over 30 years.
Working alongside my producing partner, cinematographer Matthew Flannery (Sex and the City) we have been filming for two years. We have dedicated heart, soul, and body into this film, and I believe the love that has been put into it shines through in Matt's gorgeous cinematography. (Please check out his incredible photography at www.photoflan.com)
By supporting this project you are showing hard working families and business owners that you are supporting their story which has yet to be told. What happened to OTB is not just a New York story, it is an American story. It can happen anywhere.
You will get all sorts of updates as the production moves forward. We want you to be a part of this.
There are tens of hours of interviews which need to be cut down to a manageable movie length. But the changing nature of the ongoing current events which affect this story makes it difficult to say "That's a wrap!" However, there is still a lot of work to do which you can be directly a part of...
There are still a handful of interviews left to record. With your help we can arrange for those shoots - all of which require travel and gas even if we are shooting locally. In addition there are the necessary Archival Footage and Historical Photos which need to be researched, acquired, and cleared through the various public archives and private collections. There are always research hours and "processing fees" just to get rough cut copies of the material to screen and work with at home which up until this point has been cost prohibitive, thus holding up work on the editing and shaping of the historical aspect of the story.
Getting us past our goal, however, will enable us to get other necessary post production services such as a consulting editor, graphics artist, and music rights.
Matt and I have put years of our lives into this project. It is a labor of love and we cannot do it without you. A project such as this is only made possible with not just financial support but with love and emotional support.
Even if you cannot support financially, please share this project with your friends and encourage them spread the word - like us on Facebook (OTB Documentary Film) and send a shout out on Twitter (#OTBDoc) - and let the people of OTB know know that they are not alone .
Thank you for your continued and generous support of this project.

Risks and challenges
"What will we do with ALL this money that is so easily come by?" said No Documentary Filmmaker Ever. The biggest challenge with any piece of art is how to get it financed. The filmmaking is the play, the fundraising is the work.
If you had told me in 2011 that it would take me longer to make the film of OTB than I spent ACTUALLY working at OTB, I would have torn my hair out. But since I am already bald it is perhaps best that nobody told me this.
Filmmaking is the ongoing battle between the shots you want to get against the shots you can get. I would love for the film to be hours' worth of archival footage and photos of New York in the 1970s and 1980s. Who couldn't look at historical material like that for hours?
But the reality is that archival footage can run as high as $80 per second (if you are a good negotiator you can get it down to less) so I have to be judicious in choosing which shots will make it into the final cut. Does this shot advance the story? Is this image vital to the moment?
These are the artistic decisions which unfortunately sometimes have to made from a real practical financial criteria.
There is no doubt that "Finish Line" will be completed and screened. It is only a question of time. However, the longer that the film takes, the further away from the immediacy of the issues the film explores.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

The weather in Fort Weyr varies according to altitude - a typical trait of the Great Western Mountain Range.
Springtime arrives to Fort's low valleys in month 4 and to the high countryside in month 6. The summer season is short, but summer days are long. Month 7 is the warmest month with a mean daily maximum temperature of 22.5ºC (72.5ºF). The autumn months of 9 and 10 usher in bright colors amid clear skies and cooler temperatures. The winter season is long and variable with cold and stormy periods that quickly switch to mild chinook winds. Month 1, the coldest month, has a mean maximum temperature of -11.1ºC (12º F).
In mountain terrain, a number of factors influence climate and weather patterns, and create a variety of micro-climates. These factors include elevation, latitude, prevailing winds, shading from mountains, alignment of valleys, and winds from the glaciers.
Altitude greatly influences the local climate: the higher the elevation, the colder the temperature. Generally, every increment of 300 feet signifies a loss in temperature of 1.7ºC (3.06ºF).
The winds from the southwest also have a major impact on local weather. The winds from the Western Sea bring warm air and moisture to the mountains despite its location. The winds have usually lost most of their moisture by the time they reach the eastern slopes.
Fort's Seasons
Fort Weyr has four primary seasonal changes: Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. The following is a breakdown in what month each of these seasons encroaches on the Weyr proper.
Remember: A year on Pern is called a Turn. Each Turn consists of thirteen months of twenty-eight days. These months contain the equivalent of weeks, referred to as sevendays, each containing a rest day. The seventh day of the week, or days 7, 14, 21, and 28 of each month, are designated as rest days. In addition, each Turn contains two additional holidays: Turn's End and Turn's Beginning, together known as Turnover. A leap day is included every six Turns. Months and days are not named, but are indicated by number (month 1, 2, up to 13 and day 1, 2, up to 28).

Single Face Corrugated Roll - 250'CA$23.00
Sometimes you need a packing solution that doesn't involve putting more fill into boxes or crates. One approach worth considering is the use of corrugated packing paper rolls. Also known as single face corrugate, these rolls offer advantages that'll serve you and your client.
Always the Right Size
One key benefit of using the right size of brown paper packaging roll is that you don't waste time trying to cut to fit. You can order rolls using standard sizing, but having rolls cut to custom dimensions isn't out of the question. That's always helpful if you have more than one product that you ship out on a daily basis.
Easy to Work With
The flexible nature of a packing paper roll means that it's easy to wrap your products and ensure the paper is securely in place. Being so easy to work with means that your employees will spend less time with the packing and inspection process—and your products will ship out that much more quickly.
Durability that Doesn't Stop with Shipping
It's not enough to simply get a product to a buyer or client in good condition. What happens if they store the product in a warehouse or supply closet for a few weeks (or even months)? Its packaging needs to hold up well over time and the right type of packaging paper roll can do that. It'll ensure the product isn't contaminated by dust or anything else that could decrease its quality.
There's definitely a lot to learn and think about when it comes to corrugated packing paper. When you're ready, The Packaging Company has what you'll need to ensure you can always ship to your customers promptly and properly.

Several co-existence studies are currently underway in the United Kingdom, largely with a focus on the growing of oilseed rape and maize. Results will be delivered forseeably in the second half of 2006.
In populations and harvested yields of oilseed rape, there are three ways in which impurities occur: by presence in the original supply from the seed company; by contamination from leftover feral (i.e. volunteer)populations from previous crops; and by cross-pollination from other cources (other feral, or crop, oilseed rape). A strategy to address the volunteer populations which settle in fields (due to the incidental dropping of seed during harvesting, and due to the dormancy of these dropped seeds) is of great importance for the long-term management of impurities. In the arable seedbank, oilseed rape is one of the most widely represented species; any new varieties of this crop which arise - including GM varieties - are likely to be incorporated into the seedbank.
In order to design a decision tool for the evaluation, and management, of the presence of GM seed in the seedbank and in harvested seed, this project seeks to formulate a predictive model of the residence times and population densities of volunteers.
For oilseed rape, mathematical models exist already for GM contamination occurring through the original seed lot or through volunteers; these models will be refined by the incorporation of within-field spatial distribution patterns of plants and seed, of gene-flow patterns between GM and non-GM volunteers, of the effects of male-sterile volunteers arising from some modern varieties, and of the large amount of (presently incomplete) datasets dealing with the lifecycle of oilseed rape and with practices of weed control.
The individual, practical, test-oriented approach to plant lifecycle biology developed at SCRI will form the supporting skeleton of the model, which will be formulated with reference to available information on the distribution, and persistence, of GM seeds and plants in the field, and which will be vaildated by sampling fields in which more than one type of volunteer oilseed rape is represented.
Research output is expected to be:
In national and European discussions on GM crops, this product will be a source of information and will facilitate on-farm management tools, in the case of GM crops being grown commercially.
See also the description on the Defra website.
The goal of the project is to formulate an applicable model of the movement of pollen among maize plants, and addresses the specific cultivation conditions in the UK. Relying on the molecular tracking of marker genes in the field, the model will provide the basic information for recommendations intended to prevent cross-pollination in cultivation practice.
In eight dispersed locations in England and Wales (each location consists of five sites and a meteorological station), defined genotypes of maize will be grown. At various distances between pollen donors and recipients, cobs will be sampled and pollen will be trapped. The dispersal of this pollen will be investigated using DNA analysis, while molecular, meteorological and agronomic information will be recorded during a period of four years. Combining geographical, meteorological and agronomic data, a Gaussian plume model of pollen flow will be constructed, and the predictive uses of this model will be tested. Recommendations will be made based on supporting statistics.
This study is the first of its kind for maize in the UK. For agronomic, environmental and commercial applications, it will make available new and vauable information and tools - importantly, a pollen-flow model applicable to the particulars of crops grown in England and Wales. Additionally, the study will present options intended to avoid, or minimise, cross-pollination, as well as data with which worst-case scenarios of interspecific pollination, and gene transfer, may be formulated.
See also the description on the Defra website.
Measurements will be taken of the biological and environmental factors influencing cross-fertilisation to fields of oilseed rape varieties of a range of male fertility, with emphasis on the maintenance of rigorous statistics on the estimates of whole-field cross-fertilisation. This project addresses specific concerns: crossing from surrounding fields may be much higher to fields of many modern varieties of oilseed rape, in which only a proportion (varying from 20 to 90 percent) of the plants produce pollen, than to fields of fully fertile varieties, in which all plants produce their own pollen.
The whole-field value of cross-fertilisation from one field to another has been shown by research on fully fertile varieties to be generally in the range of 0.1 to 0.3 percent. To date, little information exists on comparative values in partly fertile varieties (for example, partially-restored hybrids and varietal associations), but early trials and theoretical estimates indicate a much higher crossing percentage in these cases. Since high crop-type purity must be guaranteed at harvest, research is now needed to support estimates of whole-field cross-fertilisation in these varieties. Attention should be given particularly to the mechanisms and pollen-transfer vectors responsible (notably, the relative roles of wind and of insects) and to the contribution of regional pollen sources, which are unlikely to be negligible for these varieties.
In the first year, methodologies for the statistical approach, for detecting low-frequency crossing and for measuring point-to-point transfer of pollen both from nearby and, more widely, in the surrounding area will be established. Subsequently, statistical and biologically-based models will be developed to guide experiments and, ultimately, to predict cross-fertilisation.
At two study sites in the second year, a consistent approach will be applied to estimating whole-field crossing to receptor fields from a source field close to the receptor, and from a source field approximately one kilometre away. The purpose of this configuration is to separate local pollen transfer (which is likely to be detected as a steep decline in crossing from the facing edge of a receptor field near the source) from regional pollen transfer (which is likely to determine crossing to the rest of the nearby receptor field and to the whole of the distant field). Work in this second year will result in a statistically rigorous sampling scheme and in an efficient detection methodology.
In the third and fourth year, and over a wide range of environments, both of these will be used to examine the effects of percentage male fertility on whole-field crossing, on separation distance, on pollen barriers and on the regional topography and configuration of fields. Recommendations will be made for management options to keep the crossing percentage below specified thresholds (e.g. 1 percent, 0.5 percent, 0.1percent).

Recently, Defra has published a study by Reading University ( Dunwell and Ford) which critically reviews effective, current and practical, as well as timely and potentially viable, technologies aimed at reducing the dispersal of transgenes into the environment from GM (and non-GM) crops.
The study is a literature review, and critical assessment, of current knowledge of strategies for biological containment of genes in transgenic and non-transgenic crops. All aspects of technologies for biological containment of GM and non-GM crop plants are critically reviewed, including the evaluation of industrial research efforts in this area.
Based on the findings from the literature review, it makes recommendations for future research and is available on the Defra website. The Advisory Committee on Releases to the Environment has published advice on the final report of this study.

Not content with one set of picks, Pulp Pusher has went the extra mile and asked Lawrence Block, Sam Millar and a host of clued-up folks for their picks of the year and guess what ... it makes some interesting reading!
Lawrence Block (Novelist)
This year I've particularly enjoyed the work of Chelsea Cain and Wallace Stroby (both of whom I've encountered for the first time) and John Sandford and John Lescroart (both of whom I've been reading for years, always with enjoyment).
Sam Millar (Novelist)
I've been rather fortunate this year to have had some genuinely memorable crime books sent to me for reviewing, and I'm a bit spoilt for choice. From the hauntingly beautiful The Outlaw Album by Daniel Woodrell to the hilarious and piss-your-pants Fun and Games by Duane Swierczynski. After much soul searching, I've finally nailed it down to American crime writer, James Thompson's brilliant Lucifer's Tears, one of the most original crime books to hit me up the face in a very long time – and that's saying bloody something!
Lucifer's Tears is the second Inspector Kari Vaara novel, and like its predecessor it grabs you from the very first page. Vaara has moved from the Arctic Circle to Helsinki, having requested a new assignment following the personal trauma and collateral damage of the nightmarish Sufia Elmi case (Snow Angels), the previous year. The Sufia Elmi case left Vaara with a scarred face, chronic insomnia and ubiquitous migraines.
Thompson's ability to craft complex plot/sub-plots with such powerful prose makes him unique in the family of modern-day crime writers. Startlingly original and instantly cinematic, Lucifer's Tears unfolds in page-turning addictiveness until it delivers shock after shock in its denouement of police corruption and condemnation for those trying to rewrite history.
I stated quite confidently in New York Journal of Books that: "It's going to be tough for other crime writers to beat this as Thriller of The Year. Grab yourself a copy now and see why."
After all the major movie companies suddenly falling over themselves to grab the rights to the Vaara novels, I feel totally vindicated.
Now, if only Karl Kane could get me a movie deal and stop fucking about with his haemorrhoids….
Donna Moore (Novelist)
I refuse to be restricted to one, so I've picked one from the US and one from the UK.
My US choice is Heath Lowrance's The Bastard Hand. The protagonist is drunken, violent drifter Charles Wesley - a man who hears the voice of his dead brother and who should really be back in the Institution he ran away from. What you really don't need when you're already batshit crazy is to meet the Reverend Phineas Childe - a Man of God who uses his 'calling' to enjoy wine, women and song - heavy on the wine and women, not so much on the song. Heath Lowrance serves up a brilliantly nasty slice of tough, gritty noir served with sides of retribution,weirdness and ugliness. Delightfully warped and dirty - yum yum. No characters to root for - just a cast of deliciously noxious characters. Don't expect happy endings; just truculent, indecorous pleasure in a tale told with great gusto.
My UK choice is Steve Mosby's Black Flowers. Steve is one of the best writers around at the moment. His books are always exciting and chilling on one level, yet they all have so much more below the surface. Black Flowers is thought paovoking, atmospheric and beautifully written. Layered narratives, multiple narrators, interwoven relationships, blurred lines. Nothing is as it seems and everything should be questioned. Brilliant.
Danny Bowman (Novelist, Publisher)
Best book I have read this year is The Bastard Hand By Heath Lowrence. It tells the story of Charlie Wesley, a damaged individual who has escaped from a mental institution in the North West of the States and heads way down south to Memphis. He meets the strange and wretched Reverend Phineas Childe who takes him on a dark and savage journey to the small town of Cuba landing and the route to an apocalypse. This is a modern pulp masterpiece that I love because of Lowrence's genuinely unique and peerless voice as well as his genre-bending which is right up my street. He also has that ability to make even the most mundane activities of his characters seem out of place and sinister.
Patti Abbott (Writer, blogger)
One of the many great books I read this year is the debut novel from Alice LaPlante, Turn of Mind. It's the story of a hand surgeon, who is gradually losing the battle with Alzheimers. She's been accused of murdering her best friend and cutting four of her fingers off in the bargain. She must play detective and save herself despite her daily decline. Also ejoyed The Sister Brothers, a rollicking western noir by Patrick Dewitt and Crooked Letter, Tom Franklin.
Paul Johnston (Novelist)
The best crime novel I read this year was Philip Kerr's Field Grey, which fills in a lot of gaps in Bernie Gunther's curious life. It's really just backstory writ large and must be pretty incomprehensible to people who haven't read the rest of the series. For some reason, I rather like that. Close second - Deon Meyer's Thirteen Hours. Don't get me started on books I disliked. There were a lot of those, including some that won awards. The book business is several Andrew Neils short of a toupee collection.
Damien Seaman (Novelist)
Sandra Ruttan's Harvest of Ruins came out as an ebook in July, and it's mesmerising. Sandra specialises in stories that explore just how destructive the shockwaves from broken families can be. Because of this, her books are always emotional, but Harvest of Ruins is her best yet. Deep and moving, with a style that's so good you don't notice it, characters you really care about and a narrative structure that bounces around from past to present in a way that heightens the emotional resonance of the whole thing without seeming flashy or tricksy. Brilliant.
Todd Robinson (Novelist)
Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon - Probably going to lose what little cred I have left in recommending this, but damned if this book didn't hit me on every level - especially since it had every element working against my normal sensibilities. First off, I hate &*%#ing translated novels. I always feel like a piece is missing, something lyrical in the language that is lost. Mad credit to Lucia Graves for the translation, which is in and of itself a minor miracle. Secondly, it skirts right around the edges of Magic Realism, which as a literary style makes me want to stab, stab, stab. It plays the devices coyly, but them consistently brings the story back into its own reality. Thirdly, despite some seriously dark moments, this novel is, dare I say, a beautiful monument to writers and the readers who love them, all wrapped in a nice little mystery set in post-war Barcelona surrounding the final copy of a book written by a lost author who seems buried in time...and the mysterious man who leaves behind the scent of burnt paper that seems intent on keeping him there. Best book I've read in several years, not just 2011.
Nigel Bird (Writer, blogger)
"The Devil All The Time is fiction of the highest quality. If there's any justice in the world, it will be a book that's talked about as a Twenty-first Century classic by generations to come. It reminds me of a pointalist painting - tiny and important details coming together to create a broad and expansive picture of many aspects of small-town American life as well as the depths of despair which we sometimes call the human condition. It leaves no stone of depravity unturned, yet still left me feeling hope by the end. The kind of book that makes you want to shake the author's hand as soon as the final words are read. Unbelievable."
Chad Eagleton (Writer)
While researching a project, I kept coming across mentions of Warren Miller's 1959 novel, The Cool World. I wasn't familiar with it, so I dug up a copy and found one of the best novels I read all year:
14-year-old Duke Custis lives in a claustrophobic Harlem apartment with his grandmother, his mother and her revolving door of "husbands." Life offers him little besides hopeless desperation. That's why he needs 15 dollars. With 15 dollars he can buy a gun. There's a rumble coming up with a rival gang, The Wolves. If he has a gun, he can pay back his knife scars with bullets.
The Cool World is beautifully paced. Miller juggles characterization and action well. His prose is astounding, easily one of the most lyrical and readable uses of slang I've ever seen. But the real strength of the novel was best described by James Baldwin, "In fact, the most remarkable and valuable thing about this study of Negro children in Harlem is that it does not leave one thinking about race at all. It leaves one thinking about the moral state of the country."
Maxim Jakubowski (Novelist, publisher)
I found in 2011 that most of the new crime books I read were OK but a bit dull and predictable, and best 2 genre books I read during the course of the year were actually published in 2010 namely Stona Fitch's Give and take, which is both a road movie, jazz noir and short and evocative and made me believe that modern noir can still be done with originality and a distinct 'voice' and Emily St. John Mandel's The Singer's Gun which proved that her Last Night in Montreal was no fluke: family ties, melancholia, a sense of disconnect and characters I took to my heart with a vengeance. And neither has a serial killer or a historical conspiracy to be seen...
Rob Jarossi (Critic, journalist)
I enjoyed The Lock Artist by Steve Hamilton this year. He really seemed to be in the zone with the narrator of this thriller, the mute and traumatised boxman Michael, who's just 17 but a genius with the valuable and dangerous skill of opening locks and safes. Hamilton really takes you into the world of safecracking and gets across some of the illicit thrill of breaking into places and stealing the goods. But there is also a tender and unusual love story in it – the narrator is a teenager, after all – so the story has heart, which makes Michael's journey all the more perilous.

"Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies." – Proverbs 31:10
The word virtuous means: chaste or pure. You may be thinking … what is a virtuous woman? Well, the virtuous woman is very rare. She does not seek favor of men and women by her good looks, trendy clothes or popularity. Her spirit of selflessness and chastity is prevalent.
Are you preparing to be a virtuous woman? Being pretty, wearing nice clothes and being popular isn't necessarily bad, but that should not be what people think of when they see you!
- In verses 13-19, 22, 24, 27, the virtuous woman demonstrates the value of hard work or working with her hands. What kind of work did she do? Sewing, cooking, planting, weaving, buying/selling and yes … keeping her body in shape.
- In verses 12, 15, 20, 26-27, she provides the needs for others before her own. She provided for her family (husband and children), servants, the poor and needy … and lastly herself.
- In verses 16, 18, 21-22, 24, the virtuous woman showed confidence in her judgment, her work and her own appearance. (Note: the virtuous woman was not prideful in her skills, yet neither did she shrink from lack of confidence in what talents she did have. She did not hide under the facade of what some call "humility" but was assured of her God given abilities and judgment.)
- In verses 11, 23,25, 28-29, 30-31, we see the results or outcome of the virtuous woman's character

Meet The Cadillac XT4
The first-ever Cadillac XT4 is here and arrives to impress. The XT4 is one of the most highly-anticipated models to be released by the automaker in quite some time, and its style and specs match the interest of many of Trent Cadillac's customers. You may have caught a glimpse of this vehicle while watching the Oscars, as Cadillac ran various ads during the awards show including one that showcased the sleek exterior of the XT4. Cadillac unveiled the vehicle in full on March 28th at the New York International Auto Show.
Luxury Compact Crossover SUV
The XT4 is a luxury compact crossover SUV that offers incredible power, design, and technology. Despite its compact size, the XT4 is big on features. It will come equipped with a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a nine-speed transmission, offering 237 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Although fuel efficiency ratings have yet to be confirmed, it's expected to get a respectable 30 mpg on the highway, achieving the perfect balance of power and efficiency. To harness the power of the XT4, you'll sit back in its upscale interior that features a leather-wrapped steering wheel and comfortable seats—in fact, the fronts seats have an available massage function and the rear seats boast best-in-class rear legroom.
Cadillac Infotainment System
The XT4 is also smartly equipped, offering a Cadillac User Experience infotainment system and available wireless charging. What's more, the XT4 will offer available advanced safety features besides its standard Rear Vision Camera and Rear Park Assist, such as Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
Here at Trent Cadillac in New Bern, NC, we can't wait until the all-new Cadillac XT4 arrives on our dealership's lot.

iMore heard back in March that the iPhone 5 was on track for an October, 2012 release and would include LTE networking and a new micro-Dock connector. We later heard there were several prototypes in play, at least one of which had a 3.5-inch screen like previous models, and one which had a 4-inch 16:9 screen. Due to Apple's logistical agility, they had until July to decide which version to go with. Now, according to Macotakara -- which has provided reliable information in the past -- Apple has made their decision.
My reliable Chinese sources told that, new iPhone has started manufacture phase
It sounds like the 4-inch, 16:9 iPhone is the one going ahead to manufacturing, and in a design similar to what iLounge predicted back in May.
There's still a lot of time between now and October, and Apple has been able to make changes to previous generation devices in a matter of week. Producing millions of devices to meet the kind of demand a new iPhone generates is non-trivial, however, and given the amount of parts and case leaks seen to date, things might just be locked and loaded now for the fall.
The new iPhone will launch with iOS 6 and likely reveal new features to go alongside the new hardware. Based on past history, it's possible to make some guesses about what those might be, but we won't know for sure until Apple announces the 2012 iPhone event and Tim Cook, Scott Forstall, and Phil Schiller hit the stage.

2008 was my worst year by far for reading. I still read some fabulous stuff, but for the very first time in my existence it felt as though I could go through life without ever reading anything at all. Yes, it was a crazy year. From beginning to end, every certainty I ever possessed was questioned. I thought I had figured some things out - myself above all - but I was wrong. And yet it was a year I will be grateful for.
I went back to the library, ironically a year to the day I last did - Jan 25th. Planned to borrow a bunch of M & Bs or at least pseudo historical romances, which is my preferred form of trash reading. Struggling through The Last Mughal made me think that perhaps I was better off reading only frivolous stuff. But standing there in front of those bookshelves, it wasn't the romances that I felt like picking up. I did pick one, The Weaver's Daughter, but even though it was a pedestrian piece of writing, it was less a bodice ripper than a low-brow attempt at capturing a time in history.
So now I'm reading a book that I have long wanted to: On Beauty by Zadie Smith. Marvelous. Especially the Howard's end style beginning.
See, I'm less frivolous than I think!
The Restless Quill has a new home.

This brief article will give information regarding diplomat Daniel Taub. Taub will leave the United Kingdom. His role in the U.K was performed greatly as the Ambassador to the State of Israel to the Court of St. James. From his departure, he will be missed greatly. Also, he has greatly shown his skills as an Israeli envoy since 1982 when Shlomo Argov had almost got badly shot in London.
Daniel Taub forgoes formalisms and likes better to be addressed by Daniel. He has admitted to a great completion of accomplishment. These accomplishments regard the relations between Israel and the U.K. They have seemed to be strong and good as they ever were before. Also, beyond all this he has a large family as well. He has six children and one Grandchild as well. He also was able to see his first London musical in his last month living in the U.K.
Taub also has valuable advice that can help us in the areas of life and work. One of them regards reading, Taub enjoys reading books that have a connection into what he does. For example, once he was asked to give a lecture on Israel's image historically in English literature. He used many of those classical books.
One piece advice, one I really agree with is that family comes fast. Taub and his family really want to go back to Jerusalem. But, at the same time they want their family to be together. It was really hard for the family to be separated when his oldest children stayed in Israel. But in this experience the children have benefitted and showed great support during this tough experience. They also have made many friendships in the process.
Now some general information regarding Daniel Taub. Taub currently works for the Yad Hanadiv foundation as the Director of planning and strategy. He was born in 1962 in Great Britain. He received his education in Oxford, University College in London, Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, and University College in Oxford as well. In 1989, he moved from London to Israel. Since he moved he has participated in the (IDF) Israel Defense Forces as a reserve officer and a combat medic as well in their international law division. In 1991, he has been the leader in many diplomatic and legal posts. From the years 2011 to 2015, he became the United Kingdom's Israeli Ambassador.
