Drain stoppers prevent clogs, but like any home element, they need some TLC. No matter how good your drain stopper is, hair is bound to make its way through. Sadly, if you do not clean your drain stopper every so often, clogs will occur. An easy way to not only prevent a clog but cure an existing clog is to remove and clean the drain stopper.
Toe-Touch Drain Stoppers
Perhaps the simplest stopper of them all, toe-touch drain stoppers are easy to remove and easy to clean. As the name suggests, these stoppers can be pushed down and up with your toe. However, when removing and cleaning, your hands may come in handy.
First, you have to remove the outer cap. In the open position, simply turn the top section counter-clockwise. Sometimes, it may be stuck to the screw beneath it. If that is the case, you'll have to grab a screwdriver and unscrew just the cap or top section of the stopper.
Next, unscrew the shaft cylinder, or section in the actual drain. You should see a large screw that can simply be unscrewed. Once completed, all should be removed from the drain.
More often than not, your drain stopper will have a good chunk of hair attached to it. Before cleaning it, try removing as much hair as possible and throwing it in the garbage. Do not throw your hair down another drain. Before opening the drain, take a paper towel and grab as much hair as possible. Once most of the hair is removed, close your sink drain and run hot water over the stopper. Again, we don't want to put any hair down the drain. If you do, a sink clog will occur. Clearing such a clog is not a fun process!
Now, we can deep clean the actual stopper. Most are made of metal or chrome. No matter what you use, first try old-fashioned soap and hot water. Apply a mixture to a hand towel and gently clean the tub stopper. If that doesn't work, apply some elbow grease.
If the stopper still looks dirty, go for a lightweight cleaner. Some popular chrome cleaners are:
First, mix all options with a little hot water. Apply the mixture to a towel and gently rub the entire drain stopper. Any of these cleaners should remove most, if not all, grime.
Reattach your squeaky clean toe-touch drain stopper.
Twist-and-Turn Stoppers
Another very prevalent drain stopper is twist-and-turn stoppers, also known as lift-and-turn stoppers. They're easily recognizable by a small knob on the top of the stopper. You can open and close the stopper by twisting the knob.
Removing a twist-and-turn stopper is a little more difficult than a toe-touch stopper. To start, open the drain stopper. Then, hold the body of the stopper and turn the stopper knob. Once it goes up, you should see a screw on the knob. If not, keep turning.
If you see a screw, you'll have to unscrew it. Use either a screwdriver or allen wrench to loosen. Most twist-and-turn stoppers don't require you to remove this screw. Loosening it should let you remove the stopper. Once the stopper is removed from the post, you can unscrew the post from the strainer.
The first step in cleaning any drain is to remove as much hair as possible. Follow the steps to cleaning a toe-touch drain stopper. Remember, do not throw hair down another drain. Dispose in the garbage.
Then, try your standard hot water and soap solution. Dip a hand towel in the water and get to work. If the stopper is still dirty, try the following alternatives:
- Calcium mineral deposits (spray)
- Vinegar
- Baking soda and vinegar
- Lemon and baking soda
- Coke
Mix non-spray solutions with hot water. For the calcium deposit, spray directly on the drain and rinse with a rag. For others, apply the mixture to towel and gently rub the entire drain stopper. Follow the steps above, in reverse order, to reattach the drain stopper.
Push-and-Pull Stoppers
Finally, many homeowners also own push-and-pull stoppers. These stoppers look very similar to twist-and-turn with one key difference: Rather than twisting the stopper, you just push and pull. Removing and cleaning, fortunately, is very similar to the two stoppers mentioned above.
Just like the twist-and-turn, push-and-pull stoppers have a screw beneath the stopper body. To start, open the stopper. Hold the stopper body in place and turn the top counterclockwise to remove. Then, unscrew the brass insert with a flathead screwdriver. Now, you can easily remove the rest of the stopper from the drain. If you want to remove the drain body (not required to clean), use a drain key.
Like always, remove all hair from the drain stopper. Mix hot water and soap and gently rinse off the entire stopper. Don't be afraid to apply some force. Since most are made of metal, it can handle it.
Like the other stoppers above, if grime is still present, try any of the following solutions:
- Calcium mineral deposits (spray)
- Vinegar
- Baking soda and vinegar
- Lemon and baking soda
- Coke
Follow directions above to get your drain stopper looking like new again. When you're done, simply reattach the stopper using the steps above in reverse order.

Daniel Staples' first-half error proved to be decisive as Bedlington Terriers lost 1-0 at Newcastle Benfield.
Paul Brayson made the most of the keeper's error three minutes before half-time, when Mark Turnbull's cross was dropped at the feet of the Northern League's top-scorer for a simple tap-in.
Despite a dominant performance in the second half, Bedlington could not find a way of getting back into the game.
The closest they came was in the 65th minute when Lee Scott's strike hit the foot of the post.
Bedlington went into the game on the back of their first win under new manager Gary Innes, but they were on the back foot straight away when Benfield pressed during the opening exchanges.
The home side made a quick start, pressing high and attacking from the outset, but a chance for Brayson and his strike-partner Chris Youlson failed to hit the target after good build-up play.
Bedlington managed to weather the early storm and finally break-out for an attack of their own, as Scott played a neat pass through to Andrew Keenan but his shot was deflected over.
Innes' side's first real chance came half an hour in and fell to leading scorer Jordan Nellis. Stephen Young chested down a long ball from Kyle Dobson and then Nellis struck the ball low, but the keeper managed to parry the effort round the post.
Brayson, who was at Welfare Park for two seasons, proved to be a tricky customer, holding the ball up well, creating chances for his fellow strikers and also testing the keeper.
However, his goal just before half-time came courtesy of Staples' error as he tapped the loose ball home from two yards out.
Manager Innes said: "I told him (Staples) that it doesn't happen often, he had a brilliant game last week against Billingham Synthonia and he hardly makes mistakes."
The home side would have felt that they deserved to go in at the break ahead by more than one.
Bedlington almost fell further behind within the first two minutes of the second half as another former Bedlington man, Stephen Baptiste, saw his shot saved well.
Innes' team-talk at half-time was clear as he wanted his side to press more and create more chances.
The Terriers were unremitting in their search for an equaliser with the roles reversed from the first half. Benfield were now the side under pressure.
Innes' last throw of the dice came with 20 minutes to go when he brought on Ryan McGorrigan, and his strike seven minutes later almost justified the manager's decision to bring him on as Benfield keeper Andrew Grainger pulled off a fingertip save to deny the substitute.
Bedlington lacked composure in the final third throughout the second half, and the problem was not crating chances, but the struggle to test the keeper once they created them.
McGorrigan attempted an audacious attempt in additional time but it sailed over the bar and Newcastle Benfield held on in until the final whistle to secure victory.
Bedlington drop down one place to 14th but go into next week's clash against league leaders West Auckland Town in fine spirits after a dominating second half display.
Bedlington Terriers: Staples, Harvey, Dobson (Walmsley 58), Dunn (Watson 53), Little, K Nellis, Keenan (McGorrigan 70), Davison, Scott, Young, J Nellis Subs not used: C Morton.

Day 33 of this challenge happens to be the day of my last course at uni EVER! This is somehow sad because it was a good time but I'm also happy to be able to look back at it with good memories! Additionally it'll open new doors and I'm more than keen to experience what the future holds for me! Maybe it'll lead me to a place like this..
I'd be more than happy if this was the case 🙂 your turtle.

With the Lollipop craze in full steam and the Galaxy Note 3 already up for a soak test in Russia it is only natural to expect that Samsung will give an equal share of attention to the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge.
We already saw a leaked manual for Android 5 with the device model on it so the OTA is getting closer, but no official news is available as of yet. Faryaab Sheikh, Editor-in-Chief of SamMobile might have just shed some light on the issue with a recent Twitter post. According to him the Galaxy Note 4 ROM is still in the hands of Oculus VR who are "tweaking the kernel" to ensure compatibility with the Samsung Gear VR.
For anyone unfamiliar with the device it is Samsung's current take on virtual reality headset based on the popular Oculus Rift. Gear VR however takes the experience one step beyond by using a wireless setup. This is achieved with the help of a mobile display, in particular the 5.7-inch QHD Super AMOLED panel of the Galaxy Note 4.
While compatibility issues might explain the delay the question still stands why this can't be achieved in a later update. This is supposedly what occurred on the Verizon version of the phone last month.
Delivering Gear VR compatibility is most definitely a huge deal in terms of marketing strategy, but the fact of the matter is that a very miniscule percentage of all Samsung Galaxy Note 4 devices will ever be put inside a VR headset. So why make everybody wait for what is essentially a niche feature?

The aim here is to contract with social landlords to provide support (through the "befrienders and mentors") to beneficiaries moving straight into a normal tenancy on release – despite any previous blacklisting. The role of the "befriender and mentor" is to enable the new tenant to keep to the terms of the tenancy.
In some cases this could mean an agreement by the tenant to have his rent deducted from his wages and paid direct to the landlord by his employer – where he is directly employed by Aspire.
Ex-Cell works in partnership with the City Council's Letwise Plus supported housing programme in this respect.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — An Alabama
fan was charged Thursday with sexual battery after authorities say he
was captured on video performing a simulated sex act on an unconscious
LSU fan after the BCS championship game.
An Orleans Parish grand
jury indicted 32-year-old Brian H. Downing on one count each of sexual
battery of a male victim and obscenity.
A video that went viral
on the Internet is believed to have been taken at a fast-food restaurant
in New Orleans after Alabama defeated LSU on Jan. 9. A man wearing
Crimson Tide attire appears to be "placing his genitals on an LSU fan's
face. The LSU fan appears to be heavily inebriated and practically
unconscious," a police statement said.
Authorities say that Tide
fan was Downing of Smiths Station, Ala., who had been booked on charges
of sexual battery and obscenity. The court set bond at $50,000.
"While we're obviously disappointed, we remain confident in our defense," said Downing's attorney Michael Kennedy.
Kennedy said he hoped the case would be brought to a quick resolution.
my impression that the state is anxious to get this done," Kennedy
said. "There is no resolution on the table at this time, but we hope to
get something done quickly."
Downing remains "fairly upbeat considering the situation," Kennedy said.
was fired from his job after the video was posted, the attorney said,
and has been unable to find another because of charges pending against

"April Showers bring May Flowers"
It's an old little rhyme - and while we had a bit of precipitation this April so far, certainly not as much as usual, it was still enough for some of the Mayflowers to start blooming. Sadly, many of the Mayflowers I come across are baked to a crisp, something I've never seen before - without the snow covering that usually protects them in March, and with all the extra sun we had, it wasn't good for this particular flower. However, there are some in some shady patches that are doing well, like this bunch seen here. They are such gorgeous little flowers, usually hard to see as they barely peek out from underneath the huge leaves. The blooms are only about 1 cm wide, and come in various shades of pink (I believe that if they get a lot of sun, they turn almost white, but if they're well shaded, they can be quite a dark pink). And the lovely scent that they have is just wonderful! The Mayflower is the provincial flower of Nova Scotia, and we have quite a lot in our immediate area. :)

Feast your eyes on David Beckham's award-winning smile, wonderful hair, and dishy crushed velvet blazer and bow tie combo.
Football legend Becks stars in the Guy Ritchie-directed advert, which follows a group of friends as they make their way to a Highlands estate - Dave via motorbike, naturally - which requires the dad-of-four to slip in and out of a variety of sharp outfits.
The Haig Club ad finishes up with Becks getting behind the camera to shoot the group sharing a celebratory toast before as a series of backdrops flashes up behind them - and they toast again. And again. And again.
Speaking about the glossy video, the 39-year-old said: "I love the tradition of toasting, it's something I always do with friends and family.
"Working with Guy to bring this tradition to life in a new way has been so rewarding. HAIG CLUB™ has always been about friends coming together and that's what we wanted to reflect with the advert. It's as simple as that."
The film also features the track Left Hand Free from Mercury Music Prize winners Alt-J.

THE ROYAL NAVY'S hunt for Inter Services Championship victory continues.
It became 31 years of boxing hurt for the senior service as the army ran out winners at HMS Nelson last night.
But that didn't tell the story of a night of explosive contests which saw the navy shine.
Graham Alderson's squad went down to a 5-3 defeat with the Royal Air Force picking up a point.
The destination of the noble statuette remained in the balance for much of the night at a packed navy gymnasium.
Wins for Luke Fisher (64kg), Aaren Meder (69kg) and a gutsy Ben Jones (81kg) effort ensured that was the case.
I'm really proud of what the boys have doneGraham Alderson
But success for Chezerare Nihell over Kallum Radley at 91kg, in a contest Alderson felt could easily have gone the other way, tipped the favour in the army's balance.
In the end, the army's 1-0 headstart through a walkover did not have an impact on the result, as super-heavyweight Natty Ngwenya unanimously outpointed James Taylor.
Alderson knew many of his boxers were giving away experience to powerful opposition.
But he felt proud of what they achieved against them
Alderson said: 'I've got a great set of lads there.
'We've lost three on the night and the army obviously have numbers on us.
'I've put in three kids who have had in and around 10 bouts – but they all did well and didn't struggle at all.
'I thought my 91kg kid was a bit unlucky.
'He lost on a split decision and, on any other day he would have got it.
'To do that in his 12th bout to an ABA semi-finalist was an achievement.
'I'm really proud of what the boys have done.'
The army's Ryan Fillingham picked up boxer of the night on the way to a stoppage of Lewis Dugan at 60kg.
But then the navy charge really got firing as Fisher outpointed Oliver Knight in a chess match of a contest.
That went up a gear as a ferocious display saw Meder stop Peter Nevison, as he was given three counts in the second.
Jones then served up the round of the night in the third with the army's Chris Flynn in a battle which had a raucous crowd on its feet.
Ricki Lyon (56kg) delivered the RAF's single win with navy pair Callum Lynn and Joe Pomfrey shining with victorious special bouts.
Alderson said: 'We had some good wins on the night.
'Luke Fisher is a young able seaman.
'He boxed that kid back in December and the other lad won convincingly.
'I think he was expecting the same lad to turn up, but the Luke Fisher in there is bit more of a man and a bit more mature. I thought he took the decision quite well.
'Meder was very unlucky last year. He didn't get the rub of the green.
'He came back and is a very strong, quick fella and he did the business for us. He totally dominated that fight.
'Jones wears his heart on his sleeve and loves a tear-up.
'To be fair the army boxer, Chris Flynn, is a big strong lad and pulled him into a bit of a scrap.
'The cleaner work came from Ben in the end with cleaner shots.
'They all performed.'

If you love curly beach-style hair but don't live near the beach, you can still get beach waves by using gel and mousse. You may notice that people that live by the beach or hang out at the beach often will have wavy hair. This is because the combination of the sun and the salt water makes hair wavier.
Hair gel is thicker than mousse and often has no color to it. Gel is designed to provide a strong hold and gives hair some shine. Mousse is often used to volumize hair. It is a white colored foam that is lightweight.
The first thing you want to do is wash your hair with your normal shampoo and conditioner. Then, towel dry your hair and comb out any tangles you may have. If you want to go straight from bed to beautiful, click here for 10 Overnight Beauty Secrets For Waking Up Looking Fabulous! Then, take your hair in sections and squeeze out any excess water. Take the bottle of hair gel and squeeze some into one of your hands. Rub both hands together so there is gel on both hands and scrunch sections of your hair. Scrunching your hair is nothing more than grabbing the ends of your hair and pushing the hair upwards towards your scalp. Be sure to get the gel throughout all of your hair.
Now, divide your hair into three sections: back, right side and left side. Take each section and twist your hair into a bun, like you were making a ponytail. You want to gather your hair as high as you can so that you end up with three hair buns.
Next, spray your hair with hair spray and allow to dry. The last step is to apply the mousse. Before applying the mousse, take the hair buns out so your hair freely falls down. You don't want to brush or comb your hair but instead just run your fingers through your hair to loosen the curls. Squeeze a small amount of mousse into one hand and rub both hands together like you did with the gel. You then want to scrunch your hair the same way you did with the gel as well. You can either blow dry it at this point or allow it to dry naturally.

|Reorganised Procurement
|New Model Bayonet Drill
|Research Points Needed
|Building Needed
|Military Academy
|Leads To
|Military, Military
Reorganised Procurement is a Technology in Empire: Total War.
As armies grow in size and complexity, foraging and looting rarely support military operations for long periods. Supply must be put on a formal lodging.
Traditionally, the colonel of each regiment was responsible for making sure that his men are adequately clothed and shod, and carry weapons and ammunition to see them through a campaign. However, as armies increase in size military officers actually began to compete with each other for scarce resources, and this only serves to drive up prices - and the profits of the unscrupulous and unpatriotic. It also turns the centralised co-ordination of, and sharing of, campaign supplies into an administrative triangle. It is true that it does not matter if an army has many types of shoes, as long as everyone has a pair. But something as seemingly simple as a common size of cannon ball can become problematic if every colonel of every regiment is allowed to organise and order his own weapons.
In addition to laying down standards for drill and military evolutions, during the 18th Century the army staffs of various nations (such as they were) also began to sort out the tangle of supply. The whole business was, in many nations, riddled with corruption and preferential treatment for friends, with bribes and kickbacks as well. While a certain amount of patting money into friends' pockets was considered acceptable, there were limits.
General InformationEdit
Unlike most technologies, Reorganized Procurement drives costs up in most cases, particularly if the existing army is large. However, the technology is important for progressing further down the tree.

Coffee tables are a necessity of most living rooms—they anchor the space and make the room look polished. They're also extremely useful, we use them to put our books, phones, drinks, and sometimes feet on—shhhhh, don't tell anyone. But we can take their usefulness even further by finding ones that function as storage furniture as well. This will allow New Yorkers perpetually seeking more space find yet another way to get more out of a piece of furniture. Here are five coffee tables we think do a great job at playing double duty:
Rebecca Trunk
At a reasonable $699, this hardwood trunk with its colorful patina—which works fabulously as a table—is a beauty. The metal edge banding and details make this piece look reclaimed or even an original snagged at a flea market. The inside offers generous space for storing anything from throws and sweaters to books, magazines and more.
The Printmaker's Coffee table
This architectural beauty from Restoration Hardware comes in three finishes and several sizes and for anyone who's ever worked in or visited an engineer or architect's office is reminiscent of blueprints and maps. Store remotes, magazines and artwork in the four drawers of this piece, which starts at $1,095.
Chiva Functional Coffee Table
For the more modern home, BoConcept's Chiva, which starts at $1,159 and comes in several finishes sports three separate compartments which when opened could also function as table tops that could function as dining surfaced.
With a shelf and storage space underneath the glass tabletop, this Ikea number's $279 price tag is anything but steep. The table comes in grey or white and is an easy solution to store magazines and remotes and even decorative items which could transform the top into a display case.
Industrial Storage Coffee Table
This solid mango wood rustic table with steel legs from West Elm is a steal at either $599 or $699, depending on the finish. Its pop-up door reveals enough storage for books, toys, magazines and nick knacks and can also be used as a taller tabletop where one could pull up a chair to and work at.

A House Full of Daughters
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: Juliet Nicolson
Narrated By: Julie Teal
Publisher: Random House UK
Date: March 2016
Duration: 9 hours 54 minutes
***As read on BBC Radio 4***
All families have their myths and legends. For many years Juliet Nicolson accepted hers - the dangerous beauty of her flamenco dancing great-great-grandmother Pepita, the flirty manipulation of her great-grandmother Victoria, the infamous eccentricity of her grandmother Vita, her mother's Tory-conventional background.
But then Juliet, a renowned historian, started to question. As she did so, she sifted fact from fiction, uncovering details and secrets long held just out of sight.
A House Full of Daughters takes us through seven generations of women. In the nineteenth-century slums of Malaga, the salons of fin-de-siècle Washington DC, an English boarding school during the Second World War, Chelsea in the 1960s, the knife-edge that was New York City in the 1980s, these women emerge for Juliet as people in their own right, but also as part of who she is and where she has come from.
A House Full of Daughters is one woman's investigation into the nature of family, memory, the past - and, above all, love. It brings with it messages of truth and hope for us all.

my cricut personal, paper lace & wild card cartridges, 1st MS punch monarch butterfly corner, docrafts border and larger flower punches, tons of card and an embossing folder.... phew!
Thats a lot for me, in the next few weeks i'm hoping to upload cards made using them all! :)
Here is my first card of 2011, one of my resolutions was to take part in more DoCrafts challenges so this actually fits the criteria for 2!
The ABC colour challenge was to use grey, a real challenge for me as I didnt think I had any grey papers - I didn't so I made some using MCS!!
I also used my new border punch from DC to make the lace border with my new capsule collection card, and the, G for gold, embellishments using the new large flower punch layered with my small one. Yay used some of my new stash already!

As I was writing this mini-series, I've been reading a bit around the internet. Other people also have their issues with Fail Forward, including major "Powered by the Apocalypse!" content writers, apparently.
Something I picked up on in that reading was something that I did touch on myself, but think is a bit secondary in my concerns. That is, basically, is there any connection between what the character attempted, and the consequence of the failure?
The first example has a rogue make a Charisma check in order to befriend an officer on a ship. The rogue fails, and the GM interprets this to mean that rather than fail to befriend the officer, the character did in fact make a good impression, but the officer is now suddenly a cannibal.
Don't get me wrong here. This example here makes me furrow my brow and raise an eyebrow and sort of shake my head in mild confusion; it's just that I'm more worried about other, larger-scale aspects of Fail Forward.
On reflection though, it struck me that this might be down to a bit of a storygamer vs. trad gamer mindset difference. I think the spontaneous cannibalism is weird, as does David Guyll, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's objectively bad. I'm wondering whether this might actually reflect attitudes towards the simulationism or otherwise of the gameworld.
In the kind of simulationist game I run, this example seems silly, because a person is or is not a cannibal. I mean, I might not have determined that in advance (it's not exactly one of the core stats), but equally I sort of expect cannibalism to be a trait I decide on some narrative or logical basis. I would find it weird to have a mechanical roll on a skill change a part of the gameworld reality that isn't even related to it.
To be fair, I might potentially get the idea that an NPC could be a cannibal based on the interactions involved in a skill roll, probably if it made me think it would be ironic in some way. But it'd be a consequence of the narrative rather than the die result.
However, if you don't subscribe to the view that a game is approximately simulating a reality for you in the first place, maybe this makes a lot more sense. Plenty of games and gamers are happy with games where a lot of narrative control rests with the players, and where parts of the game reality are subject to change. To take a classic RPG example, when a players looks for a diamond in a safe, some gamers are happy for a successful roll to mean the diamond is in the safe, without any need for the GM to have decided it was there beforehand.
As far as I'm concerned, this is mostly unsatisfying. But that's just my preference.
Players who enjoy this kind of Conflict Resolution-based approach, and the relatively flexible game reality, may be more amenable to the idea that a game-mechanical consequence of their actions or failures doesn't necessarily match the game-narrative consequences of their actions in a mappable way. If you're tending to view things more as Conflicts than as specific Tasks in the first place, then it may make more sense to you.
To pull things back to our example: maybe for a storygamey player, it's natural to model the Charisma roll as a Conflict like "do I manage to befriend the nice officer", where a failure allows that the officer is secretly a cannibal and so not so nice after all. Maybe Grignr failing to behead an orc and suddenly being endangered by a plummeting chandelier feels like a natural sequence of events simply because it comprises part of a story of sequential events.

Dear Senator
Re: S. Res. 168-A resolution supporting respect for human rights and encouraging inclusive governance in Ethiopia.
For the past twenty-seven years Ethiopians have endured the terrible dictatorship established by the TPLF (Tigrayan Peoples Liberation Front). The TPLF established a minority-based apartheid like system whereby the most essential functions of government and society (including military establishment, intelligence offices and businesses) are under complete control of one ethnic group.1 The party leaders have blatantly perpetrated animosity between various ethnic groups, intentionally antagonizing the two major ethnic groups in the country (the Amhara and the Oromo) as a tool to secure power.2
The TPLF leaders abhor Ethiopian Nationalism due to their hideous intentions to build a greater Tigray. To achieve their narrow-minded objectives, they have divided the country along ethnic lines deceived a portion of the population and most their allies. Over the years they've talked about democracy while they ruled the country in an authoritarian fashion, they've talked about free press while turning the country into a massive jailhouse for journalists, they talk about economic development while they loot the country and subject millions to starve, and they've talked about peace while waging an unnecessary war with a neighboring sister nation, sacrificing close to 70, 000 Ethiopians.3
Once, the TPLF leaders achieved their goal of divide and rule, their leaders preached on government-controlled TV stations, proclaiming that the "democracy" they've established (which is a system of torture and murder) must be protected by any means to prevent the country from falling apart. Over the years, Ethiopians who were fed up of the extreme corruption, displacements, murder, torture and fake election results started popular uprisings that resulted in the killing of thousands of peaceful demonstrators, imprisonments of tens of thousands, disappearances of opposition members, etc.4 The uprisings in turn created a power struggle between the various groups in the ruling party forcing some of the TPLF leaders to refrain from imposing a puppet prime minister, which they have become accustomed to. Along with the uprisings the passage of H. Res 128 came at a critical time for Ethiopians sending a strong message to the TPLF leaders not to continue business as usual.
There is no doubt in the fact that popular uprisings, coupled with international pressure have resulted in the election of the new prime minister, Dr. Abiye Ahmed.5 While the new prime minister has indicated his desire to take some steps towards widening democratic space, the TPLF still remains Ethiopia's most powerful force, controlling the military, the intelligence and 75% of the country's wealth which was acquired through illegal means,
While the new prime minister seems to have good intentions, he is already having an uphill battle with TPLF intelligence chiefs and security forces controlled by the TPLF to get a few known political prisoners to be released, as tens of thousands remain in prison. The fact that the TPLF is deceptive regime that held power for twenty-seven years via eliminating its opposition along with the above-mentioned factors indicate how fragile the political situation is as the real power remains in the hands of the TPLF. The recent rhetoric by top TPLF leaders, including the former Deputy Prime Minister and Ambassador to China Seyoum Mesfin, during a party meeting in Tigray (May 28, 2018) is a clear indication that the TPLF is determined to fight and impose the status quo they have enjoyed for more than 20 years.
The day H. Res 128 passed, congressmen Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA, @RepRohrabacher) tweeted saying "Game over TPLF". The United States Senate should send the same tough message to criminal TPLF leaders by passing S. Res 168 and ensuring they refrain from playing same sinister game they played for so long.
- Res 168 is not a resolution against reforms intended by the new prime minster and instead a resolution that strongly encourages for democratization and accountability.
The eight-point demands included in S. Res 168 ask the government of Ethiopia to:
- address broad and persistent concerns expressed across large swatches of the citizenry;
- end the practice of excessive force by security forces, enforce professional discipline, and hold accountable security forces responsible for such abuses;
- grant the United Nations (U.N.) High Commissioner for Human Rights and U.N. Special Rapporteurs access to conduct a comprehensive examination of the state of human rights in Ethiopia and work with such entities to improve human rights conditions;
- investigate the killings, detentions, and instances of excessive use of force that took place in response to protests in the Oromia and Amhara regions, hold security forces accused of such actions accountable through public proceedings, and publicly release written findings from such investigation;
- release from incarceration all dissidents, members of the political opposition, activists, and journalists who have been jailed for exercising constitutional rights;
- respect the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and guarantee freedom of the press and mass media;
- engage in open consultations relative to its development strategy, especially those strategies that could result in people's displacement from land; and
- cease proclamations that are used to harass individuals or organizations engaging in peaceful political dissent or that prohibit funding for civil society organizations working for respect for constitutional rights, the rule of law, and protection of human rights.
Among the eight points listed above, only a portion of number five has been addressed thus far by the new prime minister, which resulted in the release of few known political prisoners. However, it is important to note that tens of thousands of political prisoners remain in prisons all over the country. In addition, the TPLF is still actively inciting violence and ethnic cleansing in various areas of the country, including eastern Ethiopia (Harar Region) where the "Liyu" police6 lead by a notorious torturous region president and the right-hand man of the TPLF (President Abdi Elie) is intentionally killing and displacing the Oromo, who are migrating to Kenya and other neighboring nations. In addition, similar displacements and murders are taking place in the northern part of the country, (Benishangul region) where the Amhara are being displaced and persecuted just because of their ethnic group.
The former assistant secretary of state for African affairs, Herman Cohen, clearly states that the TPLF's monopoly of political and economic power is the major issue in Ethiopia.7 The best plan for solving the continuing political crisis in the country demands for all stakeholders, including opposition inside and outside the country to work together towards a sustainable and far-sighted political solution.
Based on the above facts and current fragile political situation in Ethiopia the only way to stop corrupt and power greedy TPLF leaders from playing their usual game imposing a brutal dictatorship and destabilizing the region is for the US to stand firm in its commitment to human rights and refuse to give tax dollars to a government that is extremely corrupt, murders peaceful demonstrators, tortures its people, and is not accountable to its people.
We ask you to please stand with Ethiopians and co-sponsor S. Res 168 ASAP

Special service by AGI on behalf of the Italian Prime Minister's office
Rome, Italy - With a letter sent to defence minister Antonio Martino, SDI senator Giovanni Crema - president of the inter-parliamentary union - resigned from the presidency of the bilateral section "Italy-Cuba frienship". "I acknowledged that, following the last tragic events, there is no possibility to communicate frankly".
"My availability, as a democratic socialist, to take part in initiatives to help the Cuban people ferry across to a democracy respecting human rights is still intact, but it cannot be fruitful without a credible interlocutor. Since my mandate began, my only dialogue with the embassy focused on Cuba's request of an institu tional intervention which 5 Cuban Heroes are victim of, "prisoners of the Empire ", that is, tried and condemned in the USA.
I have always fought for human rights, hence, at a personal level, I will investigate on this. But I cannot fuel the fire of institutional talks which risk becoming grotesque. I thank you for the faith you had in me, but I am forced to hand in my resignations".

Waxing FAQS
What to Expect - Pre & Post Wax
What to Expect - Pre & Post Wax
I've never been waxed before. How is it done?
Waxing is the most common method of hair removal in spas today. Warm wax is applied to the area and then removed, bringing the hair with it. There are two types of wax: hard and soft. Hard wax, which is easier on delicate skin, is often used on the face, underarms, and bikini area. Soft wax is used on the legs, arms, back, and chest.
Waxing reduces hair growth when performed at regular 30-day intervals. Because waxing pulls the hair out by the root, it grows back softer, finer, and thinner. The more you wax, the less hair grows back.
Waxing can cause tenderness and swelling. In addition, some medications will cause the skin to react badly to waxing. Don't wax if you're taking Retin-A, Accutane, or any type of acne prescription. Discuss any questions or concerns with your esthetician.
Preparing for treatment
Let the hair grow out to about a quarter to a half-inch above the skin. If hairs are too short, the wax won't adhere strongly enough to pull them out. About a half hour before waxing, you may take an anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen. This can help in two ways: it will provide some pain relief and protect you from minor swelling.
What to expect
An antiseptic lotion is applied to cleanse the area first. Next pre-wax products are applied to protect the skin and give you a more comfortable wax.
- If soft wax is being used, the warm wax will be spread on the hairs in a thin layer. A cloth strip (muslin or pellon) is then applied to the wax, and rubbed in the direction of hair growth. The strip is then pulled quickly in the opposite direction of hair growth while the skin is held taut with the other hand.
- If hard wax is being used, a thicker amount of warm wax is applied and allowed to dry. No cloth strip is applied. The wax is flicked to allow the esthetician to grip it, and it is then pulled off quickly in the opposite direction of hair growth. Hard wax doesn't adhere to the skin as much as soft wax, and is therefore used on more delicate areas such as the bikini area, underarms and face.
How much does it hurt?
Most people tolerate waxing well, and are surprised that it isn't as painful as expected. Regular waxing decreases discomfort. The level of discomfort you will feel depends on your level of pain tolerance in general, and on which area is being waxed. Clients are also recommended to take two ibuprofen tablets prior to their appointment, to reduce discomfort and decrease inflammation in the post-waxed area. For women, it is generally best not to schedule waxing services just prior to or during your period, as you are more sensitive to pain at this time and will experience more discomfort. If you schedule a bikini or brazilian wax during your cycle, please let me know before your service.
Home care after waxing
It's important to care for the waxed area properly after treatment to prevent ingrown hairs, breakouts, or other reactions. Exfoliation, using a pumice stone or exfoliating gloves with a bath gel, will help keep the skin clear. Avoid using a bar soap because it leaves a film on the body that could cause ingrown hairs. For the face, back, and chest, use a more gentle exfoliant and an anti-breakout lotion (ask your waxer about recommended products). Directly after waxing, avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds, especially while the skin is still red from treatment. For 24 hours after waxing, avoid exercise, hot tubs, and products with harsh chemicals, perfumes, or dyes. Apply a gentle moisturizer 24 hours after treatment.
What is Brazilian waxing?
Many people are familiar with bikini waxing, which removes pubic and leg hair that would otherwise show when a bathing suit is worn. Brazilian waxing got its start with the daring bathing suits worn on Brazil's sunny beaches. It is now common in the United States and is preferred by many for the sleek feeling it provides.
The treatment involves waxing off all pubic and labial hair from front to back. A full Brazilian wax involves the removal of all genital hair. You can also request a variation on the standard Brazilian if you prefer to leave a small amount of hair.
What to expect
Try to arrive relaxed and ready to bare all. There is no modest way to receive a Brazilian wax. I am a professional, and your dignity as a person will be respected in the treatment room.
Be ready to fill out a questionnaire and describe what medications and skin care products you are using. Ladies, it is best not to schedule a wax just before or during your period as it generally will feel more uncomfortable to be waxed at that time of the month. However, many of my clients do schedule their wax during their cycle. You can take 1-2 ibuprofen 30 minutes prior to your appointment to decrease sensitivity and inflammatory response following waxing.
You should trim the hair to ½" in length for best results prior to your appointment. If it's shorter, the wax may not be effective, and if the hair is longer the wax will tug on the skin more, causing more discomfort. If you do not have time to trim prior to your appointment, be sure to let me know so that I can add extra time to your appointment for trimming. There is an additional charge for trimming.
I will use an antiseptic wipe or lotion on the area first to cleanse. Wax is applied to the area one section at a time. The wax is removed quickly and pressure is applied to the area to minimize discomfort. Cool compresses and soothing gel after the treatment may also help to calm and sooth the area. It is normal to have a histamine reaction following waxing in this area, in which you may see red irritated skin and bumps for 24 hours or even longer. This is very common and will subside.
I have learned and developed the best techniques for removing the hair efficiently and effectively. Some of the positions you may be asked to be in may be a little embarrassing, but remember, I am a professional and do this type of waxing every day and will be very professional and understanding with you.
Brazilian home care
I can provide the best guidance on caring for your skin after a treatment. For 24 hours following a Brazilian waxing, you should not sunbathe, use a tanning bed, use a hot tub, be sexually intimate, or perform exercise that will cause significant sweating. Loose clothing worn after the appointment is the most comfortable.
Keep the area clean and gently exfoliate the area to prevent ingrown hairs. Special products can be purchased for this. I can also recommend which products will be best for you.
If you decide you want to continue sporting your Brazilian style, waxing at approximately four-week intervals is recommended to reduce discomfort on follow-up visits. (see Brazilian Maint.) In time, less hair will grow back, and it will become finer and lighter in color.
Hair Removal Methods
Bleaching, Shaving, Plucking, Waxing, and Sugar Waxing
Updated June 05, 2014
The desire to remove excess or dark hair usually begins in adolescence and seems to continue until the day we die. Whether it is hair on the face, armpits, legs, bikini line, or other body parts, many women AND men are intent upon having the hair on their scalp be the only visible hair on their bodies. With the emphasis on smooth, hairless skin, it is interesting to note that excess hair, especially in women, is still a taboo subject.
There are many options available to remove unwanted hair, but few options to get rid of hair permanently. The different methods of hair removal from the old stand-by, shaving, to the new treatments, lasers and Vaniqa, are discussed here. Each person should chose a method or combination of methods that works best for them depending on cost, time available, skin type, and the desired hair-free area.
Hair Growth Understanding how hair grows helps us understand how to keep hair from growing. Each hair is contained in a pilosebaceous unit, which consists of a hair shaft, hair follicle, sebaceous gland, and erector pili muscle. Hair growth and shedding is a continuous cycle through 3 phases. The anagen phase is the growth phase, the catagen phase is a transitional state, and the telogen phase is the resting phase. Hairs spend a variable amount of time in each phase determined by genetics, hormones, and area of the body. Hair in the anagen phase is more susceptible to injury than hair in the telogen phase. All of these factors must be considered when choosing a method of hair removal.
Bleaching Bleaching is actually not a hair removal method, but rather a way to make the hair less noticeable. This is especially useful for areas that already have thin but dark and therefore noticeable hair like the arms, face, or neck. Bleaching is performed by applying a chemical to the desired area, which removes the pigment from the hair.
Hair Removal with Shaving Shaving is the most temporary method of hair removal because it merely cuts the hair off at the skin surface. Shaving does not make the hair shaft thicker, darker, or grow faster or slower. However, the short hair shaft may be more noticeable as it grows out because it has a blunt tip instead of the normal tapered tip. Shaving should be done after applying some type of moisturizer to the skin to help the razor glide over the skin, not cut or scrape it. Common moisturizers include water, shaving cream, hair conditioner, or body wash.
Physical Hair Removal Physically pulling the hair out of the follicle is a common and fairly inexpensive method of hair removal. None of these methods changes the color, texture, or density of the hair. The hair takes longer to grow back because it must grow to the surface of the skin before it is noticed. Because hair grows at different rates, some of the hair that has been physically removed may take more time to grow back in. Repeatedly pulling hair out of the follicle may damage the follicle enough over time to keep it from producing more hair.
Physical Hair Removal - Plucking Plucking hair with tweezers is an effective way to remove hair but can be very time consuming. The hair shaft must be long enough to grasp with tweezers.
Physical Hair Removal - Waxing Waxing is an effective method of removing large amounts of hair at one time. In this method wax is warmed to allow it to be spread easily over the skin in the direction of hair growth. The hair becomes embedded in the wax, which cools and firms up grasping the hair. The wax is then quickly pulled off in the opposite direction of the hair growth, pulling the hairs out of the follicles. Cold waxes are available usually attached to strips, which are patted onto the skin. Wax that is still left on the skin must be peeled or scratched off. Caution must be used when heating wax so as not to burn the skin.
Physical Hair Removal - Sugar Waxing Sugar waxing is a popular form of hair removal that works in the same way traditional waxing does. A thick sugary substance similar to caramel is spread on the skin in the direction of hair growth. The hair becomes embedded in the caramel. A cloth or paper strip is patted onto the caramel and then pulled off quickly in the opposite direction of the hair growth, pulling the hairs out of the follicles. The advantage of this method over traditional waxing is the clean up. The sugar substance is water-soluble and can be removed easier than wax by rinsing with water.
Hair Removal with Depilatories Depilatories use a chemical called thioglycolate mixed with sodium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide to literally melt the hair away. Thioglycolate disrupts disulfide bonds, which are chemical bonds that hold skin and hair cells together. The disulfide bonds that hold hair together contain more of the protein cystine than do the disulfide bonds that hold skin cells together. Thioglycolate is more effective on disulfide bonds that contain cystine. The major side effect of a depilatory is skin irritation because the chemical can melt away skin cells.
A depilatory is applied to the area with unwanted hair and left on for 3 to 15 minutes. During this time the chemical dissolves the hair and the resulting jelly-like substance is wiped or washed off after the appropriate time. The chemical should be tested first on a small skin area at least 48 hours before applying it to a large area. Applying a hydrocortisone cream after hair removal may help decrease irritation.
Hair Removal with Electrolysis Electrolysis involves inserting a fine needle into the hair follicle and applying an electrical current to the follicle root. This procedure actually burns the hair root theoretically preventing it from producing more hair. Each hair follicle must be treated individually and may take several treatments to destroy the follicle. Electrolysis is a permanent form of hair removal but it has several drawbacks. First, there are no standardized licensing guidelines for electrolysis so finding an experienced, effective technician is difficult requiring talking to clients who have experienced permanent results. Second, this method requires repeated treatments for up to 12 to 18 months. Hair follicles that are in the telogen phase are more difficult to destroy than hair follicles in the anagen phase. Shaving approximately 3 days before an electrolysis treatment ensures that the hairs that are visible are in the anagen phase. Finally, side effects can include pain, infection, keloid formation (for people who are susceptible), hyperpigmentation, or hypopigmentation.
Hair Removal with Laser Laser treatment of various skin conditions has blossomed, as laser technology has become more understood. Hair removal is a common application of laser technology, but it is not permanent and not for everyone. Lasers work by emitting light at various wavelengths, energy output, and pulse widths. The wavelength used determines the skin structure it will affect such as veins, melanin, or water. Most lasers used for hair removal target melanin and are therefore designed to burn structures that contain melanin. The more melanin, the more damage. It makes sense that laser hair removal works best for light-skinned people with dark hair. As with electrolysis, hair follicles in the anagen phase are more easily destroyed than those in the telogen phase. Therefore, laser treatments for hair removal must be repeated. At this time it appears that laser treatment, while not causing permanent destruction of all hair follicles, does retard the regrowth of new hair.
Hair Removal with Vaniqa Vaniqa is a prescription-only topical cream that has been FDA-approved for reducing and inhibiting the growth of unwanted facial hair. The active ingredient in Vaniqa is eflornithine hydrochloride, which has been used to treat African sleeping sickness and certain cancers. Vaniqa works by inhibiting an enzyme that is needed for cell reproduction and other cell functions necessary for hair growth. Vaniqa is applied twice a day to areas of unwanted facial hair. Noticeable results are usually observed after 4-8 weeks of therapy. Application must be continued for as long as inhibition of hair growth is desired. Vaniqa continues to reduce facial hair growth for up to 8 weeks after discontinuing treatment.

"It truly depends upon That which you're Placing within your water bottle," she said. "In case you're putting a little something apart from water, a large mouth looks as if it's less difficult to manage." The vast-mouthed bottles will also be a little bit easier to clean up, which is one area you'll choose to do regularly when you're handling non-water liquids.
We got down to locate a water bottle that will satisfy most of the people's working day-to-day consuming requires and may be brought together on each day vacation or even a weekend experience. Put simply we want one which's resilient, user friendly and cost-effective. The Klean Kanteen Classic fills the bill on all counts.
Cleansing is far more challenging and not using a large mouth since it wouldn't thoroughly clean effectively in the dishwasher. This bottle provides a carabiner for advantage, but is barely pushed to next place because lack of a handy spout when put next for the Vapur.
The only purpose to go together with a Platypus will be to employ the press-pull cap solution they've. For us, we prefer to just go Along with the Tap bottle having a carabiner and wider mouth.
However, this bottle's correctly sized for simple Keeping and ingesting, and also the silicone grip causes it to be even more secure in the event you're employing it for sports activities.
A review on Outdoors On the internet cited a SIGG bottle that outperformed nearly anything we've heard about regarding thermoregulation, so we had to add that to the exam listing at the same time.
"Ingesting ample water has often been a obstacle for me. I love the infuser, to make sure that I can Check This Out incorporate fruit to it to assist with the flavoring. I have actually began to enjoy getting the bottle Completely ready in the morning to choose to work mainly because there are plenty of combos I'm able to place collectively!
I favored the idea of Liberty's quarter-flip screw leading, but in my testing I discovered the best alone to become tougher to show generally than a lot of competition.
Their Mira bottles have truly outperformed me and my spouse's S'effectively bottles as Check This Out far as look. Them becoming small boys, their bottles happen to be dropped numerous periods, made use of as props when taking part in, and still left outside, and There is certainly not even a dent about the bottle or scratch about the paint. While our S'perfectly bottles' paint is chipped and flaking throughout, and they're not excessive older and so are taken much better treatment of. The subsequent bottle I purchase for myself will be the Mira bottle. Very satisfied with this obtain and purchase!"
We also experienced two heavyweight out of doors equipment testers chime in about the issue. The two of them, it seems, use Klean Kanteens for a great deal of their working day-to-day use.
Over a span of several months, we set 22 water bottles to your exam to discover which bottles manufactured by far the most feeling for each preference.
There are many concrete pros and cons for both. Plastic bottles are greater at insulating temperature, which is, holding the surface of the bottle from finding also warm when its Keeping hot liquids and protecting against condensation from forming when it includes chilly types.

Sheila Oliver May Be Considering US Senate Run
With Frank Lautenberg announcing that he will not seek re-election in 2014, it may not only be Newark Mayor Cory Booker jumping into the 2014 U.S. Senate race.
Assembly Speaker Shelia Oliver at the Statehouse, while praising Lautenberg following his announcement, declared herself to be "well prepared" to make a run of her own while taking a shot at Booker who has already announced his interest in the seat.
"It has nothing to do with how many Twitter followers you have and it has nothing to do with how many Facebook friends you have," she told the Star Ledger. "Mayor Booker will have to compete for the support of the citizens of New Jersey."
Booker announced his intention to run for the seat held by the 89-year-old in December but pulled back when Lautenberg and anonymous staffers made critical comments about Booker and how he was proceeding. Democrats also made quiet comments about Booker, who they were anticipating to enter the race for Governor against Chris Christie.
Booker has not made comment about his intentions since Lautenberg announced he would not seek re-election in 2014. He did praise Lautenberg for being a "strong model of leadership" for him since entering office. Booker said Lautenberg has championed New Jersey for decades and helped Newark "endure difficult days."
Said Oliver of her own intentions, "I have a firm grasp of the temperature and pulse of the citizens of the state and I will be exploring whether or not that is something I want to pursue," said Oliver according to the Star Ledger. "I think that I will be well prepared to launch a campaign for the U.S. Senate."
Sixth Congressional district Congressman Frank Pallone (D) is also said to have interest in the seat.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

My first job - BEDM Day 8
Dad had left in the summer and as we came up to Christmas Mum explained that things weren't going to be easy money-wise - it was time for me to go out and earn some cash of my own for presents and going out and for all the other things which are essential to being a teenager.
I don't even remember how I applied for the job - a shame because what exactly do you put on a CV when you've never had any work experience before? Either way I obviously passed whatever test they had and I found myself in House of Fraser in the men's department ready to start work.
It was work as a Christmas temp - so Thursday evenings and Saturdays and Sundays were my working days.
I remember feeling incredibly intimidated by those that worked there full time. Imagine working all the days in the week and getting paid for it? It was the first time that had never really crossed my mind - "work" was still a vague concept to me up until that point but here it was in reality.
I mostly remember feeling bored. Feeling really incredibly bored. If I learned one skill it was that of being able to be completely lost in my own thoughts whilst retaining an outer appearance of looking interested and not as if I wanted to curl up in a ball and go to sleep. God knows how many miles I would walk each shift as I paced around whichever clothing brand's section I was on that day - straightening jumpers and putting clothes back in size order. I'm not sure why I was bothering, everyone else was engaged in idle chit chat - but I was 17 and not with the confidence to barrel up to people and start talking to them straight away.
Being a Christmas temp meant Christmas working and one of my shifts was Boxing Day for the sales. I will never forget the total chaos that faced me as I stood, bewildered in the middle of the department, as clothes went flying past my head as bargain hunters rummaged. It was the one day that I was definitely not bored, my shift never passed as quickly as it did on that day as I was employed in the neverending task of trying to keep the displays tidy as the sale-goers tornado raged through the store.
My best day was January 1st 2000. That's right. The very first day of this Millennium saw me at work. And no, nobody came in. I think I served about 5 people that day. It was also the day I finally found a friend. A guy who had been working upstairs in womenswear who was brought down to the Ground Floor for that day. We spent the whole day talking about nonsense and rolling up carrier bags to store under the tills. It was brilliant.
That day I was called upstairs and told that they wouldn't be keeping me on after Temporary Christmas contract expired. I had had no plans to stay anyway so that probably makes it the only time in my life when I was relieved to find out that my job would be ending.
I look back on my few months there and scour my brain for the life lesson that I must have learned. There has to be something surely? It was my first experience of the working world.
But all I can come up with is that it is incredibly important to double check that you've taken the security tag off people's clothes when you run it through the till. They get really mad when you don't do that.

ha! I know exactly the Christmas rush you speak of! I used to work in a department store when I was at college. People are vicious! And mean. And vicious! And rude.ReplyDelete
I honestly think that everyone should be made to work in retail at a young age - it teaches you how not to treat sales assistants.
I worked in H Samuel and Debenhams womenswear as a Christmas temp but they then took me on. Definitely with the latter came a great deal of boredom. Although, folding was very therapeutic. I must not have put me off though as I then worked at John Lewis menswear as an undergraduate but they are an awesome company to work for! I am in complete agreement with Hazel above; working in retail as a youth as good practice for how to be nice to them! Maybe then some of them won't be so frickin' rude back.ReplyDelete
I worked in the M&S homeware department during my first year at uni, including the Christmas holidays. Uck! I still have a massive aversion to pot pourri now. And you're totally right - it was unbelievably dull. Perfecting the art of looking busy whilst daydreaming is definitely a life skill though!ReplyDelete
While we are sharing...ReplyDelete
I worked on the Christmas department in Allders. We were once so busy I took a phone call from a customer, went to find out the answer then completely forgot to go back! Oops!!
When they took me on, I worked in the luggage/menswear dept. the most fun I had was sorting out the size cubes into the correct tub. I have never been so bored in my life.
I loved this post. It brought back memories of my first Saturday job. Now when I moan about having to work at home during the evenings and weekends, I'm amazed to think that I did work on Saturdays and was at school/uni all the week. I'm not sure how I managed to ever get any homework done and have a life.ReplyDelete
But I did meet my husband there so I suppose some good things have come out of it! x
Personally I found one of the most important lessons to come from basically all of my jobs pre-university was that most jobs are utterly dull and it's super important to find something in life that is not dull that you can do as a job. (The one part-time job exception was gymnastics coaching; that was great fun.)ReplyDelete
Had a little chuckle at this as I remember some of my first jobs, things I learned- life lessons if you will. Always wear comfortable shoes when walking upwards of 10 miles per day, never argue with a scouser who is adamant they ordered sausage when you KNOW they ordered bacon, and always, ALWAYS check the jam isn't mouldy before you dish out enough for 300 people having breakfast.ReplyDelete

Hi, just want to defend myself here, Chowhound editors; YOU COMPLETELY MISSQUOTED ME HERE in your 'condensation' of my quote in my post regarding shared dishes in French Resto's. I am shocked you said I was shocked at the practice - since I said NO SUCH THING AT ALL! In fact, I said it was a shame we didn't see this more in the US, and was trying to explore if others felt the same.
If you look through my many posts, you would realize that I have been to France several times, have a French BF, and was actually trying to engender a conversation about how I LOVE this convivial style of serving - very welcoming and homey, as well as makes me feel 'hosted' as it is often an Amuse Buche that comes this way.
I wanted to hear other Chowhounds from around the country - if they see this style of service in their cities and towns, as I don't much in Seattle, where I live.
Please be careful about misrepresenting a faithful Chowhounder like that - I feel abused by the editors, and embarrassed about how you made me sound as if I was a shocked neophite traveler!
Please retract and rewrite this, or take it down, for the sake of my reputation here.-

What a piece of garbage! Only 4gb storage??
A very weak device! Who would buy this???
Why no powerful flagship like galaxy s4 or s5?
I was hoping for the 41 mp camera and overall a high end smartphone on the cusp of shunning the iphone 5s and galaxy s4 devices. This was not the way I would have liked Nokia to enter the android smart phone market segment.
For some long long time, I have been wondering why would nokia bother android thing whilst about merging with Microsoft???!... Now, I can tell for sure that nokia wanted to make fun of android os by squeezing into such a creepy tech handset like this x...
An Asha with 4.0-inch WVGA (800 x 480) display, 5 megapixel camera, dual-core 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage memory. dual-SIM support and a 1,500mAh battery makes sense.
And yes it will be a low end device. Nokia Asha X.
i hav been searching for ths phone on net since 2 mnths n plz nokia giv sme info officially in spite of i am expecting a plenty of info.
You all know that this is just a budget phone right? Don't expect any "amazing" features and hardware in this phone.
are you such a kids guys ? this is the next ASHA phone cmon , no one saw the same homebutton as the 503 ? what planet is this ?
Hope nNokia release an android device. Else, nobody will buy nokia devices
AnonD-227145, 28 Jan 2014if NOKIA use High End Specs for Android, LUMIA will End that's for sure..So let's migrate Lumia series to android os.
you all forget nokia is bought by ms meaning this probably wont have name nokia or lumia on it and will probably be restricted in some way maybe even have some ms apps,who knows maybe they will call this reskin wp8 lite
No Flash mean nokia is ready to loose more shares. But andriod may boost nokia to rebuild.Finnaly, I advise the team of nokia before release the device please flash may be included with Camera.
Did they mixed up their windows line up with android? What a joke of a phone hahahahaa
May be this nokia x will be a give away or bunos when you buy a lumia 1520. Now a days nobody will spent a money for this specs.
Lumia 520 is the highest selling nokia lumia (WP8) so its no surprise this phone has virtually identical specs. This phone is the 520 of Android.
Anonymous, 28 Jan 2014I think Nokia forgot we are in 2014, not 2010It's a first step (or could be an experiment) if Nokia can at least have a share in the Android ecosystem that's why the specs are *low-end* so it is cheap to build and if they fail to attract new customers, Nokia won't lose large amount of money.
Once again, another puzzling leak which makes people all around fool. NOKIA NOKIA official confirmation plssssss...
tiles are the reason i stayed away from windows phone, if nokia started making android phones with those stupid tiles based interface, am never going to buy anything from them, i love my wallpapers, i love to put a different wallpaper everyday for my lockscreen n home screen n i will not give that up for some stupid tiles.............

REUNION, Fla. — Lorena Ochoa got off to a solid start Thursday in a bid for her fourth consecutive victory and fifth in six starts this year.
Playing for the fourth straight week, Ochoa shot a 4-under 68 in the first round of the Ginn Open to finish a stroke behind leaders Carin Koch and Teresa Lu.
Ochoa had plenty of company there, too.
Karrie Webb, Suzann Pettersen, Charlotte Mayorkas, Mhairi McKay, Allison Fouch and Yani Tseng also were a stroke back.
But for the first time in a while, the field wasn't chasing the world's No. 1 player. Ochoa led start to finish in her native Mexico last week in an 11-stroke victory at the Corona Championship.
"Of course, I like my position right now," Ochoa said. "I'm not usually a player that comes from behind. It's impossible, I guess, to be winning a tournament by seven shots the first day. You have to move your way out there. That's why I feel very happy with my round."

PG's 'Feelin' Good' sure to charm
Anyone in search of a feel-good play might want to catch Peanut Gallerys season opener, "Feelin Good." A large cast of sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth-grade students keeps things lively and entertaining in this musical for and about kids.
Known as "a mostly musical musical," "Feelin Good" consists of a series of vignettes showing various situations young people often encounter. It opens Thursday at the Midland Center for the Arts and will have four additional performances. Peanut Gallery is the childrens division of Theatre Guild.
Midlander Tom Lowrey, who teaches sixth graders at Jefferson Middle School, wrote the words for "Feelin Good," and former Midlander Bob Lasher wrote the music. It was performed by Peanut Gallery in 1989, with Cheryl and Larry Levy as directors.
The Levys jumped at the chance to direct a new set of young people in this years play. Larry Levy said the plays honest look at certain aspects of teens lives tends to hit home with audiences.
"A couple of songs have been added, but otherwise its the same," he said. "Two songs - I Like Me and Dreams - were grafted from other plays by Lowrey and Lasher. A new song called Competition has an athlete, an actress, a cheerleader and a student government leader trying out for things. Theyre all driven to win, and somewhere along the line, the joy has gone."
The title song opens and closes the play. In between, songs such as "My Friend," "Big Mouth of the Year," "Burgers and Fries" and "Grandpa, Play a Song" capture the emotions of the teen years. The latter song, which features Sabrina Wheeler, deals with a young girl who misses her grandfather after he has passed away.
Levy said hes impressed with the quality of the childrens singing voices and with their support of one another. "One number has solo parts for two girls and one boy," he said. "At rehearsal one day, the entire cast applauded after they did their solos. John Lee, who is in a scene called Dreams at the end of Act I, has a clear, resonant voice."
In one of the more sobering and powerful scenes, Levy said, ninth grader Adam Clements portrays a boy whose dad has left home.
"Its a tonic for both Cheryl and me to do these plays," Levy said. "Cheryl has a great way with kids and with theater. She was a theater major, so shes done lighting, sound, costume design - everything. I sometimes ask her, What exactly do I contribute? Cheryl could direct plays by herself. I doubt I could. (One thing I do) is coach actors - get them to think about what would bring their characters to life."
Levy said its been rewarding to see young people who participated in Peanut Gallery and school plays grow up and do great things with music and theater. One former Midlander named Ginifer King is now performing on Broadway, he said. Shes the understudy for the character Louise in the musical "Gypsy," and next month shell have the opportunity to be onstage in that role for awhile.
The music director for "Feelin Good" is Anna Welch. The talents of six choreographers were put to good use, in choreographing dances of different styles.
"We have 10 kids doing make-up and another 25 kids are working behind the scenes, plus the adults," said Cheryl Levy. "A lot of people are contributing to this show."
In addition to those already mentioned, cast members are Justin Baker, Deirdre Bartlett, Michell Basque, Cody Bilgrien, Casey Brege, Alex Carney, Kevin Carney, Hope Clayton, Claudia Dibbs, Evan Eastman, Elise Essenmacher, Megan Ellis, Even Garnish, Sarah Goslin, Sarah Gray, Samantha Greenberg, Alison Haney, Jenny Hill, Kelsey Hummel, Alex Kempsell, Zachary Kleinsorge, Karleigh Kroll, Ian Kullgren, Rebecca Lee, Michelle Leppek, Lindsey Licht, Katie Mann, J.J. Manser, Kate McFadden, Ashley Murray, Emily Najmy, Erin OConnor, Shelby Pritchett, Kahryn Rombach, Tori Rombach, Lisa Spence, Chris Tempas, Terra Warren and Lauren Zuchnik.
"Feelin Good" will be presented today, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 3 p.m. Tickets are $9 for adults and $5 for students. They may be obtained through the box office, 631-8250 or 800-523-7649.

Richmond Park Run
I'm now in Eastbourne for a new EFL teaching job, which is great because it means that I'm in a lovely part of the country. I'm right by the sea and I'm also right next to the beautiful South Downs Way and Beachy Head – you can't get better than that! This job also means that I will be able to afford more ultras and marathons than I have been able to afford in the last few years. This is all very exciting.
On my way back from Devon, I stopped over in London for a week and relaxed a little. I also went on some nice runs around Battersea Park and by the Thames. However, one of my favourite places to run in London has to be Richmond Park. It seems like such an unlikely pretty hideaway in the middle of all that hustle and bustle. Me and George-ultra-running-boyfriend-extraordinaire ran a nice quick 14 miles. Yet, I think the best thing about the run was coming across some deer.
All the times I have run in Richmond Park, I don't think I have ever come across any of the famous deer that live there. I always look out for them, but they never appear. This time I wasn't even looking and there they were, munching away on some grass. It really is the small things...
