Turn fish to coat with marinade. Cover and chill for 15 minutes. Drain fish, discarding any marinade. Stack tortillas and wrap in foil.
- For a charcoal grill, grill fish and tortillas on the greased rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 4 to 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork and tortillas are warmed, turning tortilla stack once. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place fish and tortilla stack on greased grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
- Transfer fish to a cutting board. Cut or flake fish into 1-inch pieces. Serve in warmed tortillas topped with Pineapple Salsa and/or Chipotle Coleslaw.

People: Interview with dubstep producer David Orton
We caught up with Leeds based music producer David Orton after the release of his latest single 'Superhero' on Saturday. David is currently signed to Plasmapool and is a member of the Creative Arts Network Collective. Take a look at his Collective profile here or listen to more of his music on SoundCloud.
David, thanks for taking the time to chat with us! How long have you been making music?
I'd say it's been about 7 years (I think?). I started learning the drums at the age of 8 and guitar and piano at 10, but it wasn't until I started joining bands in Secondary School when I actually started to write and perform. I've had some amazing opportunities to play at some great festivals such as Glastonbury and also to support Will Young as part of a band I was in back home. I've never taken those moments for granted and it was a great time! It was only when I went to Leeds College of Music that I really started to write music by myself however. I do miss playing with a live band but I feel that the material I'm writing at the moment allows me to really express my music the way I want to, at least that's what I'm trying to do anyway…
There seems to be a really loose crossover between bass music, electronica and dub step at the moment, with artists releasing albums which jump in and out of a range of 'genres', how would you describe your sound?
Haha, I have no clue! You could sum it up as "Electrofunkymelodicmusic-step" maybe? Whatever it is I'm writing, I always aim to write a song that sounds completely different to my previous work. In all honesty I'd just get really bored writing the same music all the time and it also encourages me to stay creative and keeps things fresh; some days I'll write a film score, another day it might be some ambient music, or even a dubstep song about biscuits (yep, you read that correctly…biscuits). I take a lot of influence from producers like Madeon, Porter Robinson, Koan Sound and Skrillex to name a few, so they've influenced my music in some way. Then there are people like The Beatles, Bon Iver and Stevie Wonder who are by no way associated with the EDM scene but have really inspired me musically.
Can you share a little about your create process? What software, hardware are you working with?
The creative process is different every time to be honest. I'm all about the melodies in a track, so I'll usually load up a piano on Logic Pro and jam around on the keyboard until I come up with a melody that I think is good enough for a track. Still, there have been times when I've made a Synth patch and deliberately written a track to accommodate that sound; it's a different approach each time and it really depends on how I feel. Some days I'll know exactly what the song will sound like before I even start and it'll be finished within a few days, whereas there are other times when it can literally take months for me to finish a track which can drive you crazy!
I currently use Logic Pro as my main DAW and I primarily use Sylenth and Massive as my main synthesisers. I feel like I know my way around them and I can usually think of a sound in my head and make it on the software which is handy. I've also started using FM8 too, but that's in a whole new world of it's own and I'm still getting to grips with it to be honest! I'm trying to get a live set on the go at the moment using Ableton Live with the Launchpad. I recorded a short music video earlier this year, which you can check out here.
I feel that Ableton is the perfect DAW when it comes to playing live as it gives me a lot of freedom to perform and manipulate my tracks.
If you could feature anyone on one of your tracks who would it be and why?
It's got to be Ellie Goulding. Aside from the fact that I might have a small crush on her I think she's got a great voice that works really well with electronic music, her track with Madeon is incredible!
What does your workspace/studio look like?
It's nothing fancy by any means, but it's all I need for now. Whilst I'll write most of my ideas at this table, I'll usually take my Mac out the house somewhere to continue writing. Creatively things can get bit stale for me when I'm in the same room all the time so I like to write wherever I can. Sometimes it'll be on the train, or it might be in a coffee shop for example (plus the orange wall paint in my room is incredibly tacky, I've tried to mask it with my gig tickets but it's still pretty bland!).
Your latest single Superhero just came out featuring Natalie Holmes on Plasmapool Media Entertainment. Natalie also features on your track Anxiety, how did working with her come about and have you got any plans to work together in the future?
Woop! Another release and another happy David! We both currently study at Leeds College of Music so that's where we met and since then we've become good friends and go to the same church. I approached Natalie when writing Anxiety last year and it was definitely a winning formula having her sing on my tracks, which is why I asked her again for Superhero. Superhero was one of those tracks I finished in a few days like I mentioned earlier and working with Natalie again was a great pleasure, she has a great knack for song writing and a great voice.
Thanks David, all the best with the future and we look forward to seeing more of your work up in the Collective!

The EPA's Lisa Jackson: The Worst Head of the Worst Regulatory Agency, Ever. This will no doubt get her the Nobel Peace Prize.

Check this list out and just how many are down to the EPA?
Are they sure? I though Eric the Red had that one covered.
Ya think?
""[W]e agree with API that EPA's 2012 projection of cellulosic biofuel production was in excess of the agency's statutory authority," reads the court decision."
May Richard Nixon roast in Hell for creating the EPA.
At the time with ever increasing damage to our air, water and soil it seemed like a good idea. But then the Democrats took over and screwed it all up.
People might take agencies like this seriously if they weren't filled with effing nitwits. But then that is the Hussein administration. Can't have anyone above buffoon without making Der Fuhrer and White House Staff look bad.
And she was heard loudly chanting "WE'RE NUMBER ONE" and giving high fives all around.
And all the members of the choir shouted, "Amen!"

Mark 6:30–32 NIV
The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest." So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.
Have you ever had one of these days? You know, the days when, with every great intention, you set out to make a dent in your world or at least your inbox. You lay down a vision for your day and wake up ready to kick some tasks and take some notes but before you even sit down at your desk the phone rings…
and then someone walks in your office with a crisis that needs your input…
then something in your workspace or building breaks…
then your kid gets sick at school and you have to pick them up and take them to the doc and then to the pharmacy…
then… and then… and then…
We've all been there, right?
This is where Jesus' ministry staff finds themselves on this particular day. The apostles were right in the thick of this kind of ministry whirlwind. They came to Jesus for a staff meeting to share with him all that they have been doing and to get a little encouragment and development. The problem is that ministry doesn't stop. Not for staff meetings. Not for office hours. Not when you're on vacation. Not in the minutes leading up to the beginning of the Sunday servoce. Not. Ever.
Mark reports that people and problems kept interupting this personnel meeting and was so consuming that the apostles looked around a few hours later and realized that they worked right through lunch.
That's when Jesus says, "Let's go. Get in the boat. We are taking a break."
Jesus sensed what they needed was some space, some breathing room. In fact, Jesus himself was probably stretched thin and, no doubt, was still greiving over the execustion of his cousin, John the Baptist earlier in this chapter. In the midst of ministry still left to do, Jesus hit the pause button and had everyone head to the lake.
So Jesus and the staff climb into the boat, cast off, and for a moment… there is quiet. There is stillness. There is no one and no situation vying for their attention. For a moment.
Mark 6:33–37 NIV
But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. "This is a remote place," they said, "and it's already very late. Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat."
But he answered, "You give them something to eat."
The people needing to see Jesus and needing a word or needing healing realized what was happening and ran around the Sea of Galilee to meet them on the other side.
When I visited this region we took a boat across the Sea of Galilee and it took us roughly 45 minutes to an hour.
I'm not sure how long it took Jesus and the apostles to make the trip but I know this: They only had a short break before they were thrown right back into the thick of ministry activity.
Maybe I'm looking to deeply into this story but it resonates with my heart. On the far side of the lake, the apostles were fading fast. They were hungry, bombarded, and seemingly overwhelmed. They get into the boat, receive a short repreive from their work, and then they are seemingly ready for the next wave of pastoral care. On top of that, Jesus doesn't let them off the hook when it comes to continuing to meet the increased needs of the people they are serving.
"You give them something to eat."
I hear Jesus saying, "I gave you a chance to rest. It was enough. I am enough. Let's show them what The Father is capable of."
Today marks the beginning of the season of Lent. Culturally this is a season where you might hear Jesus-people talking about how they are giving up ice cream or posting on Facebook about how they aren't going to be posting on Facebook for a few weeks. The season runs for approximately 40 days leading up to Easter. In the grand scheme of the year and certainity for the totality of your life 40 days isn't a very long time. I mean, by comparison, the MLB season is 182 days.
What if you looked at the next 40 days as a time of respite and preparation for what is coming next?
For most of us in ministry, Easter Sunday is… a pretty big deal. I know that ministry cannot and will not stop completely for this season but how can you push pause and get in the boat with Jesus for a brief RnR? Maybe you make room in your heart through refraining from an activity or giving up sweets or deactivating your social media platforms or… what ever that looks like for you. Let God breath into you for the next few weeks.
Not because it's trendy or a tradition or tantalizing but because you need it.
You need to rest because on the other side of the lake, there are more poeple to serve.
On the other side of these 40 days, Jesus needs you to feed his people.

Fulgeance & DJ Scientist – The Soviet Tape Vol. 1
forgotten beats from east'enjoy – Arkisound
♠♠♠ Don't MisS ♠♠♠
- 09. From Lithuania With Love [feat. Blu & Open Mike Eagle]
- 18. Katerina
- 21. From Lithuania With Love
About Album: The Soviet Tape is a new collaboration between Fulgeance & DJ Scientist. Their debut single 'Moscow Nightlife' is the perfect introduction to their sound: heavy instrumental hip hop culled exclusively from Scientist's un-rivalled collection of vintage Soviet-era records. Scientist, one of Germany's most prolific record collectors (check out his incredible 'Soviet Grooves' mix for Solid Steel) dug out a slew of samples from his archives, enlisting Fulgeance (MPC virtuoso and one half of Souleance) who transformed the source material into a truly unique and original album. Taking forgotten records from Russia to Moldavia, The Ukraine, Georgia, Lithuania, Latvia and beyond, the duo have interspersed the largely instrumental album with skits culled from 60s CIA documentaries as well as vocal cuts featuring Blu, Open Mike Eagle and DistantStarr. This all adds up to a release that is both a throwback to the uncertain times of the Cold War and a tribute to the great depth of music that the former Union was responsible for. Standout tracks include the aforementioned 'Moscow Nightlife', the synth-heavy menace of 'Vendetta', and DistantStarr's laid-back rhymes on 'You Know'. With high-concept artwork from Emile Sacre, taking it's cue from original Soviet records, the album is in turns jazzy, psychedelic and soulful, but with hip hop at it's core.

'Sons of Anarchy' Actor Johnny Lewis Dead After Allegedly Murdering Elderly Woman
Reports are surfacing that actor Johnny Lewis, famous for his role as Kip "Half Sack" Epps in the first two seasons of the FX Network series Sons of Anarchy, has died after falling from a roof—shorty after murdering an 81-year-old woman.
Yes, you read that correctly.
According to TMZ, cops believe Johnny was high on either PCP or meth at the time he allegedly killed the woman and then fell to his death.
Lewis was found in a driveway yesterday morning in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, and the elderly woman who owned the home was found dead inside. Lewis had been renting a room from the 81-year-old victim.
Law enforcement also tells TMZ that shorty before his death, Lewis fought with two men, who claimed Lewis fought with "super-human strength" and was "phenomenally strong."
"It was a tragic end for an extremely talented guy, who unfortunately had lost his way. I wish I could say that I was shocked by the events last night, but I was not," Kurt Sutter, creator of Sons of Anarchy, wrote on his website. He continued by adding, "I am deeply sorry that an innocent life had to be thrown into his destructive path."
If you remember, Lewis dated pop superstar Katy Perry back in 2006 in a often-publicized relationship. Lewis was 28-years-old.
The details surrounding these deaths are too bizarre, so we'll just end it with an appropriate "R.I.P."

What is Snubber circuit?
A snubber circuit is used to absorb spike noise and includes a resistor and capacitor connected in series.
Spike noise is generated by the back electromotive force that occurs due to the circuit's inductance when the current changes. When a magnetic field is generated by a current in accordance with the right screw rule (Ampere's rule) and a magnetic flux change then occurs due to a change in the current, the following type of voltage is generated by the resulting back electromotive force.
dV = -dΦ/dt (Φ: Magnetic flux)
This is the reason a light bulb often blows when the light is turned out.
Because spike noise often occurs when the power supply of the induced load is switched on and off, this noise can be absorbed by connecting a snubber circuit to the switch or relay.

text: So I reinstalled Windows. This time around I learn from previous mistakes and created a dedicated fat32 SWAP partition. But guess what - the computer thinks the SWAP partition (C:\) is the Windows partition... Programs ask to install to C:\ and such, instead of E:\ where my primary partition is. Also, I get the "running out of disk space error" - with the recommendation to use disk cleanup on it, even though the partition is clearly not for storage purposes! I know this is set by a setting in the registry... how can I change it so programs default to installing on E:\ instead of C:\. Thanks people.

A chewed necktie, a potbelly and two republic days
It was in 1995 that I last participated in a January 26 Republic Day function, marking the anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of India. I was a school student then, standing in a queue singing the national anthem as our principal unfurled the tricolor flag.
Today morning, I was a part of the event at the sprawling India House Estate in Bhutan. The Indian Ambassador received the guard of honor of a small column of Indian soldiers dressed in impeccable khaki. Wives of army officials and diplomats gathered, some chastising children who preferred to run along the guard of honor red carpet than stay with their moms.
Meanwhile, I was getting conscious over my blazers and the necktie which I managed around my neck after much effort and help from colleagues earlier the day. This was a deep brownish red tie with golden horizontal stripes, much better than the 1995 blue school tie, the tip of which was chewed, and was occasionally thrust into snotty nostrils.
While standing under the kind winter sun beside well dressed army officials, the tip of my silk necktie looked inviting. "To chew or not to chew," that was the question.
Then the army band struck the national anthem. I stood in attention as Ambassador Pavan K Verma unfurled the national flag and read out the president of India's address. I tightened my fists in the required fashion, my burgeoning pot belly struggling out from the tight belt around my pants. As a student, singing the national anthem in full throat was a matter of pride. Today I held my breath, holding my belly in, jealously watching the well toned tummies tucked in army uniforms.
The president, in her address, invoked India's first prime minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who said, "We have to labour, and to work, and to work hard, to give reality to our dreams."
With less than a week away from my 30th year on this earth, I made a list of things I have to labour and work hard for.
As I munched down a hot samosa at the tea after the event, one item from the list kept ringing: tummy trimming.

Soldiers's parade.
Posted by Ioanna at 11:56 PM 4 comments Links to this post
Evzones on parade!
Anniversary of the "No" commemorates Greek dictator Ioannis Metaxas's refusal of the ultimatum made by Italian dictator Mussolini on October 28, 1940. This ultimatum, which was presented to Metaxas by the Italian ambassador in Greece, Emanuele Grazzi, on October 28, 1940, at dawn (04:00 AM), after a party in the German embassy in Athens, demanded that Greece allow Axis forces to enter Greek territory and occupy certain unspecified "strategic locations" or otherwise face war. It was allegedly answered with a single word: "No". Most scholars dismiss the use of the word "Okhi" (= "NO")as an urban legend, claiming that the actual reply was the French phrase "Alors, c'est la guerre" ("Then it is war"). In response to Metaxas's refusal, Italian troops stationed in Albania, then an Italian protectorate, attacked the Greek border at 05:30 AM. Metaxas's reply marked the beginning of Greece's participation in World War II .
On the morning of October 28th the Greek population took to the streets, irrespective of political affiliation, shouting 'okhi'. From 1942, it was celebrated as Okhi Day.
The events of 1940 are commemorated every year with military and student parades. On every anniversary, most public buildings and residences are decorated with Greek flags.

As the Captain and co-owner of the Pacific Yellowfin with his wife, Colin delivers unique luxurious private yacht cruises along the BC coast. As a long-time sufferer of "wooden boat disease", his love of the water started in childhood in Dublin's busy DunLaoighre Harbour. From his early experience on fishing trawlers in the North and Irish seas to his first boat, a 72-foot seiner, his passion for boats has spanned more than five decades.
Colin has cruised the BC coast for more than twenty years and his love of the sea and interest in people make him incredibly knowledgeable of all fishing hot spots, beautiful hikes and secret waterfalls. Numerous guests have commented on Colin's sense of humor and storytelling abilities, with "kids" of all ages enjoying his tales. His mastery over Pacific Yellowfin makes our guests feel utterly safe.
When he's not working in his Vancouver-based painting and decorating company, Colin can often be found tinkering aboard the Pacific Yellowfin, having a Guinness or our own Pacific Yellowfin Ale.
With 50+ years of experience on the water, Jack has seen and heard it all. And if you can persuade him to, he has fascinating stories about life aboard coastal freighters and tankers along the BC coast.
Jack's dry sense of humor and his resourcefulness are highly prized assets aboard the Pacific Yellowfin. His care and attention to the twin Atlas Imperial engines – and their exposed, hand-oiled push rods – is key to keeping these classic engines ticking away. He takes great pride in his spotless, but highly functional, engine room.
PACIFIC YELLOWFIN can accommodate 12 guests in 4 cabins. The Master cabin has a queen size bed, a single bed, shower and toilet. A Guest cabin has a queen size bed, bath/tub, shower and toilet. A Guest cabin has a double bed, 2 single beds, shower and toilet. A Guest cabin has a double bed, a pullman, shower and toilet. Crew has a separate companionway, heads and shower.
The trip ranked up near or at the top of the trips we have taken with our family. The crew was incredible displaying a genuine interest in making sure every detail was address and that everyone had a ball. Colin has assembled a very eclectic group of amenities on Pacific Yellowfin which I don't think could be easily replicated elsewhere. I believe that the itinerary covered some of the most beautiful places on earth. Our family was exposed to activities that we had not previously experienced. From motor biking on the islands to the 40 foot waterslide to gathering our own oysters the verdict by my family and friends was unanimous! Guilty of having too much fun! Thanks so much for referring us to Colin! We highly recommend this trip to anyone!
The trip was a total success. Things could not have been much better with the Yellowfin. Her accommodations and her crew were just as I had hoped if not a bit better. The food was very good and the chef was flexible enough to satisfy everyone. Colin and the crew ensured that we never wanted for any activity. Their intimate knowledge of the area is priceless as is their unending patience with the kids. We have chartered several times in the past and can say without doubt that Colin and his crew are the best ever.
A tremendous experience. Beautiful scenery, excellent accommodations, superior captain and crew, and delicious food. This trip was a wonderful adventure for us.
Thanks, thanks, thanks. I am so happy I had the chance to discover this beautiful area. I think words are not enough to describe the breathtaking scenery. The trip was fabulous and so perfect.

EU Work Rules Clear Last Hurdle
New European Union rules obliging businesses across the 15-nation bloc to consult employees ahead of planned layoffs have cleared their final hurdle with adoption by the European Parliament.
The measures approved Monday night would apply to businesses with at least 50 employees in one member state _ or about half of all workers in the EU.
Britain and Ireland _ the only two EU countries without a tradition of formal exchanges between management and workers _ had blocked agreement for years, but dropped their objections in June in return for a longer phase-in period for smaller businesses.
Anna Diamantopoulou, the EU commissioner for employment and social affairs, said the new rules would provide more protection to workers, even in countries on the Continent, by setting minimum standards. Member states will have "considerable margin" to apply the rules, including setting penalties for non-compliance.
"Enlightened self interest is already driving companies to anticipate and manage change," she said. "Many businesses already involve employees in this. All businesses should provide a baseline level of involvement."
Proposals for common rules on worker information were first made in 1998 after French carmaker Renault announced the surprise closure of a plant in Belgium without first warning the workforce _ something it would be obliged to do in France.
Store closures in mainland Europe by British retailer Marks and Spencer and cutbacks by French food company Danone last spring raised the pressure on governments to agree.
Britain had argued such rules would harm the competitiveness of businesses. Under the compromise, the rules would not apply to businesses in Britain and Ireland with 50-100 employees until 2008.
The directive comes into force for larger companies in 2005.
Also Monday night, EU ministers and parliamentarians reached a compromise on rules governing working hours for long-distance truck and bus drivers.
Under the new rules, the maximum average working week for salaried drivers must not exceed 48 hours in any four-month period. Drivers will be allowed to work up to 60 hours in any given week of this period.
The legislation also sets common standards for breaks, night work and records of working time for drivers. The rules are to come into force by 2005.
EU Transport Commissioner Loyola de Palacio said the measures not only enforced "fundamental social rights" but also marked a "vital step towards safer and more competitive road transport."

The prehistoric salt mines of Hallstatt offer unique insights into ancient production systems. A wealth of information about resource management, working processes, and everyday life has been and can still be gained by studying the mining waste left underground. Decades of study have resulted in the model of a highly structured and technologically greatly capable organization. The size of the mining areas and the amount of mining waste indicate production on a large scale in Bronze Age and Early Iron Age.
Mining structures of the size and kind of the Hallstatt salt mines do not only represent important centres of production but also centres of consumption. As such they generate high demands of workforce, means of production and subsistence. Production units tied to a certain place, such as mining facilities, are especially dependant on reliable provisioning lines. Recent research has focused on characterizing the demand of the salt mines in terms of tools, food and workforce as well as the connection to its surroundings.

Geisel Library Revitalization Initiative
A Transformational Initiative to Revitalize Geisel Library Chancellor's $1 Million Challenge Match Doubles Impact of Giving
The Geisel Library is an icon of inspiration for UC San Diego's world-class students and faculty—the distinctive center of our vibrant campus. Named for Ted "Dr. Seuss" Geisel and his wife Audrey, the library makes available millions of information resources that are foundational to the transformative research and scholarship that are the hallmark of UC San Diego.
However, over time, the interior space of Geisel Library has become dated. When Geisel Library opened in 1972, no one could have foreseen how radically the digital revolution would change how information is found and used. As the Library's collections shift from print to digital, spaces once used for books and journals are increasingly needed to accommodate the various approaches to study, research, and learning of today's students and scholars.
To ensure that Geisel Library continues to meet these evolving needs, we invite you to join us in an exciting initiative to transform and revitalize the interior public spaces—including the 1st, 2nd and 8th floors—of Geisel Library.
This amazing, landmark building must be as inspiring on the inside as it is bold on the outside.
Double Your Impact: Chancellor's $1 Million Challenge Match
Because of the significance of the initiative to student learning and the campus overall, Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla will match gifts raised up to $1 million, doubling the impact of donations. All gifts made towards the initiative will be matched in the order received.
Learn more about the project plans and naming opportunities. Gifts of all sizes will help make the project possible. Make a secure, online gift to enhance Geisel Library today.
For further information, please contact Taylor Haglund, Development Assistant, UC San Diego Library, at firstname.lastname@example.com or (858) 534-7021.

User:Morbus Iff
Morbus Iff, Ghyll Scholar
According to his recovered journals, Morbus Iff is "ethereally real and surreally not". Physically demented and officially demoted, this rogue scholar was once a member of the secretive Council for Quezlarian Research until he was found naked and covered in a brown fluid in some unremarkable civilian's basement. Although the Council won't reveal further details, they've suggested his work "deeply and perversely flawed" and have invalidated the research he performed for them. Exactly how he's making contributions to the Ghyll encyclopedia, or his current whereabouts, are unknown.
- The above is, of course, just another example of the jocose lies and half-malicious half-truths commonly associated with our good Morbus. It is an open secret among the scholarly community, after all, that he holds the position of Editor-in-chief with the Encyclopedia, and is responsible for the Mighty Stomp that ensures that low-quality contributions are excluded or swiftly removed. As for his location-- I ask you! Can anyone so readily findable by the simplest of searches be said to have "whereabouts unknown"? Try it for yourself, Gentle Reader. --Jcowan 13:10, 11 Dec 2004 (EST)
- I thought that "whereabouts" was slang for those fashionable, or garish depending on your point of view, external undergarments that he's known to wear. What are his current whereabouts? Nobody knows because nobody wants to look. --Sean B. Palmer 15:53, 12 Dec 2004 (EST)

According to research, 40% of women dislike wearing foundation due to the feel of it on their skin and shade selection issues. We all know how disconcerting it is to buy a foundation that looks great in store, but find it's completely the wrong colour when we gets home. Similarly, a foundation may seem to provide great coverage while at the counter, but actually may be far too heavy for use every day when we look at ourselves in the bathroom mirror. The new Flawless Finish Perfectly Nude foundation aims to counteract both those issues, thanks to their at-counter foundation matching service (which takes a photo of your skin surface and matches you to two different shades, ruling out any influence of light or human interpretation.) The skin-matching service eliminates any 'bad matches' and leaves you with two different tones to test, ensuring you get your perfect shade. With Flawless Finish Perfectly Nude, the coverage can be built up from a light and breezy 'daytime' look, to a more covered and radiant 'evening' appropriate finish; it's incredibly versatile.
Flawless Finish Perfectly Nude Foundation is a comfortable, lightweight, breathable foundation infused with soft-focus mineral crystals and complexion-perfecting ingredients, that work to smooth and even the look of skin's surface. The foundation effectively provides a reflective surface to conceal imperfections and catch the light in the most flattering way. Also providing skincare benefits, it imparts a flexible veil that moisturizes skin for 24 hours, whilst reducing the appearance of pores. This really is makeup that does more. It's a pleasure to apply to skin and provides just the right level of coverage, without preventing skin from being able to breathe. It helps you to look flawless and radiant, even after a heavy night or little sleep - even my boyfriend instantly noticed a difference in my skin! It's also non-drying and stays in place all day without issue or caking, ensuring it's a go-to product this spring.
Although this is a little more expensive than some of your more basic high street buys, with foundation it's really worth paying a little more to get a product that works with your skin. There's nothing worse than looking like you've been to the set of TOWIE, or even been splashed with water and left with a botchy complexion. The Flawless Finish Perfectly Nude is a great additional to the Elizabeth Arden portfolio, and one which has re-introduced me to a brand I'd almost forgotten about.
Elizabeth Arden 'Flawless Finish Perfectly Nude' Foundation is available exclusively in Debenhams now, priced £28.00. Available at Elizabeth Arden counters nationwide from the 19th February.

The best way to store your Bitcoins is a wallet on your computer or mobile phone as you'll get a full control over your Bitcoins. A noticeable example of a standalone (desktop) clients is Electrum . Just remember, there are two types of desktop clients, with full validation and simplified one. Full validation requires to download all the "block chain" on your computer, which is very large database (60 GB and growing every 10 minutes) that contains all the transactions ever made using Bitcoin. Full validation in theory provides an extra layer of security and allow merchants to avoid "double spends". As a normal user, simplified validation works just fine and there is no reason to maintain a complete copy of all ever maid transactions. You are only interested in a small part of the block chain that contains your transactions and it is about 25-30 MB. Online wallets a very popular nowadays as they are easy and quite fast to set-up, don't require any free space on your HDD and are just convenient, especially when we are talking about relatively small transactions or occasional ones . when you want to transfer you bitcoins from a Bitcoin Exchange to your personal wallet.

How to stop squirrels eating your tulip bulbs
Squirrels often dig up tulips, take a bite out of the bulb and toss it aside. How maddening. I think every gardener at one time or other has suffered from this nuisance.
I recently read that adolescent squirrels can turn delinquent and start pulling bulbs from the ground for no other reason than pure teenage mischief. I'm not sure they ever grow out of it.
Some people plant tulips in cages or use chicken wire to create a barrier. Others plant allium bulbs next to the tulips and hope the onion smell will keep the squirrels away.
If you plant earlier in fall, and a little deeper, bulbs have more time to develop a stronger root system, and being deeper in the soil the bulbs also may be more difficult for squirrels to find.
Species tulips, especially smaller species types, also seem less appealing to squirrels.
I heard some other, rather bizarre ideas ,from some top British garden experts on BBC Radio such as stringing used diapers in trees and using the tail from a roadkill squirrel to train cats as predators. I am not making this up, honest.
But I don't think they know squirrels (rats with good PR) the way we do. Nothing deters them in my experience. You could try using the animal deterrent Critter Ridder, which contains three kinds of pepper and is apparently also effective against skunks, raccoons, dogs, and cats.
I sometimes think the best solution is to put handfuls of nuts in the neighbour's yard so squirrels can party there. Just kidding.
Don't sprinkle pepper over planting sites. I know some gardeners suggest this. Squirrels rub it in their eyes and can do themselves serious injury trying to wipe it out
Most effective of all is to cover bulbs with chicken wire at least 7.5 cm (3 inches) below the surface.

I've kind of fallen into a bit of a blogging funk – hence, the lag between posts.
Interestingly, I've noticed that I'm not the only one in the blogosphere who is feeling this way. One artist who blogs wonderfully, sharing her life and inspiring many, spoke about the possibility of opting for a monthly newsletter instead.
110 comments later!!! she was left with no doubt that others still valued her blogging efforts most highly.
Loads of comments are definitely a wonderful reinforcement, (I love 'em just as much as the next blogger) but my question is more about what you want to share in your blog and why. Yes, this actually is a question, I'd love to know!
I am sure that there are as many reasons to blog as there are bloggers, and they are probably all valid.
Originally I started out wanting to show what my life with cfs was like, without specifically describing symptoms or gory details too much; more of an illustration over time of what was lost and what was gained.
Next came my masters, and that seemed a worthy process to document in a blog. And since finishing that two-and-a-half years ago, I've been blogging about the art I make and see around me.
Earlier this year, I realized that while I am still learning (I'm sure I always will be) I have reached both an age and a stage where I wanted to share what I know. I'm not in a position where I can run classes or workshops, but I thought that perhaps the blog could be honed to work more in this way. By confining myself to posts that might interest book artists, and working a bit harder at the research background and structure of the posts, perhaps I could offer something worthwhile.
Unfortunately, that level of blogging isn't always sustainable for me, and while it's great fun while I have enough energy, it just becomes something else I feel guilty about leaving undone when I am unwell.
So just now, blogging has become a bit of a chore for me. I've thought about trying to turn each post into a piece of art in itself, rather like the beautiful posts on Speak Without My Voice and The Floating Bridge of Dreams. I'm still thinking about that option, but I can see problems with that too.
In the meantime, I know that after 5 years of writing in this space (yes, I'm amazed how long it is, too) I have built up a wonderful, inspiring, international network of bloggy-colleagues. You feel so much more than mere cyber-friends. You feel very, very real, and although I may be casting around for a direction for the blog just now, you can be sure that I will remain connected to you.
Watch this space!
