Once upon a time, Malcolm Bricklin had a dream. It came in any one of five colors. It cost $9,895. It had doors like the hatches on a plane and a snout like a space-age boar. And it had a tough mission: It was to be all things to all people.
It had to be a sports car, capable of whizzing 140 miles an hour. A safe car, capable of surviving fearsome crashes. A car $10,000 cheaper than a Maserati, but just as likely to turn heads at a red light. A car for the shopping center as well as the open road. And some day, maybe, a car that would be a household word.
Malcolm Bricklin gave his dream a heck of a shot. He invested $65 million, 10 of which were his own. He hired top designers and salesmen away from other manufacturers. He convinced The Wall Street Journal that, young as he was at 35, he was "one of the few men" who might take on Detroit and succeed.
And he had bushels of flair.
He named his mother consumer affairs director and installed a toll-free phone in her Philadelphia kitchen. From there, Mrs. B. fielded customer complaints and dispensed "chicken-soup car philosophy." Meanwhile, to introduce his 1974 model, Bricklin parked his creation ina Las Vegas hotel lobby and draped it in showgirls. They were wearing as much as they usually do.
But in 1975, after only a year, Bricklin drowned in red ink. He had turned out only 2,857 of the cars that bear his name.
Today, Bricklin lives in Los Angeles, where he promotes soul singers, helps run a Go Kart track - and schemes up ways to reenter the car business. But Bricklin's first generation of namesakes are still very much with us. And they continue to pack a wallop of loyalty that no Fairlane could ever approach.
Consider the scene one recent Saturday night a motel in Manassas. Around cocktails sat a classic collection of Washingtons - oldies and teenies.Skinnies and biggies, wealthies and welfares, tee-shirts and ties.
But no one asked what anyone else did. No one checked for wedding rings. No one declared provocatively that Jimmy Carter was finished.
The talk was spark plugs. These were Washington's Bricklin owners, about half the 47 persons who could answer to that description. They had come to celebrate the obscure car they own and love.
Jack Siuta, of Alexandria, was clearly the most dedicated celebrant. A marketing executive and the international president of the Bricklin fan club, Siuta owns three of Malcolm's brainstorms, including a rare four-speed standard shift (only 50 were ever made.)
But Siuta seldom drives in Bricklin. He is more likely to found on the phone or at the mimeo machine, working to ensure that the memory lingers on. This night he was emceeing a slide show, and for two hours he supplied a running description of celluloid Bricklins that Howard Cosell might envy.
Siuta is so bonkers for Bricklins that he sometimes doesn't go out on Saturday night if one of his three cars is ill. "I get so-o-o-o-o depressed," he said.
And what of Dennis Lautner, a missile consultant for Lockheed Aircraft Corporation? Transferred to Washington from California earlier this year, Lautner had the choice of crossing the continent in a motorcycle, a Honda Civic, a Ford convertible or a Bricklin.
Understandably, Lautner quickly eliminated the motorcycle. But even though one can drive it only with arms fully extended, and even though it gets a paltry 13 miles to the gallon, Lautner chose the Bricklin from among his cars. "No choice at all," he said. "It's the ego satisfaction."
Bricklin owners often remark on how similarly those satisfactions show themselves.
A classic Bricklin vignette is to drive into a gas station, where a pack of groupies is ogling Corvette. "In no time at all, they'all be back checking out the Bricklin," said John Hall, an Alexandria mechanic who owns one of each.
Another "repeater" occurs on freeways. Bricklins carry their names only on the right rear. So it is standard for a curious soul to range up to the left of a Bricklin, notice it, study it, look puzzled, pass it, slip to the right side of it, study it some more, look puzzled some more, then finally glide behind it to learn its name.
But Bricklin ownership is more than private jokes. As it does with all rare and defunct cars, the going price keeps right on going as long as the car does. Fifteen thousand is not uncommon for a Bricklin that looks and runs decently. "I'd say we're all aware of the fact that we have an investment," said Lautner.
Many Bricklin owners have ragged nerves, too. In his short time afloat, Malcolm Bricklin never debugged some of the car's design features. Thus, the hydraulic doors sometimes to stack anything on the rear shelf without it falling over when the driver corners at eight miles an hour.
"But think of it this way," said Jack Siuta. "No matter how great any other car is, after four years, it looks its age. This design, though, is not obsolete. It hold up."
The parking lot bore silent witness to this. There, shoulder to shoulder, shimmering in the mercury vapor lights, were nine of Malcolm's finest. Only one had a noticeable dent. The rest could have come straight from a showroom.
Okay, realists, how does it drive? Excellently to judge from a quick three-mile spin. One aims it as much as one steers it. But Bricklining quickens the pulse, and draws a very distinctive kind of stare from passerby.
As Dennis Lautner put it, "Anybody can own a Porsche."

I "Just Wanna Be" A Big Rock Star!
Fame, fortune, financial accomplishment.
The good life.
We all want it! We all exhaust ourselves in pursuit of it! The good life and her accouterments entice us all.
Nickelback's 2005 hit Rockstar – a song which embraces and encourages the pursuit of fame, fortune and financial accomplishment – may well provide the modern rhythm that has captured a generation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3iO5vMIAUQ).
We all want to be a Rockstar. So it seems!
While it's human nature to dream of the good life, many define the good life by using terms like conquering or consuming in pursuit of fame, fortune, and financial success.
There is another option. An older, perhaps wiser way one might pursue the good life. This ancient way is birthed from and built on terms such as communion (or connection) and commitment.
The former leads to a relentless pursuit of pleasure: the latter, to a pervasive sense of well-being. The drive to conquer and consume offers satisfaction while delivering depletion. The virtues of communion and commitment require surrender but deliver satisfaction.
Sorta upside down isn't it?!
This drive to conquer and consume undeniably shapes the cultural waters in which we swim. At the same time, we are filled to the gills with a sense of being overwhelmed, under-loved, and desperately searching for answers that are increasingly difficult to find.
Today's culture has embraced this God-given desire for the good life.
Today's culture seeks to direct this God-given desire for the good life.
Today's culture has exploited this desire and left us with a definition of the good life that more closely resembles Nickelback's conquer and consume than the Ancients focus on communion and commitment!
For example, stanzas 2 – 3 of this addictive tune exclaim:
I want a brand new house
On an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
For ten plus me
(So what you need?)
I'll need a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club at thirty-seven thousand feet
(Been there, done that)
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for me
Hmm . . .
These popular lyrics, ten years later, feel prophetic; embodying a prescience acknowledged now by the wider world of academia. Tim Keller, in Counterfeit God's, explores how this definition of the good life – to conquer and consume – has shaped a generation when he says,
Nathan Hatch, president of Wake Forest University, admitted what many educators have seen for years, that a disproportionate number of young adults have been trying to cram into the fields of finance, consulting, corporate law, and specialized medicine because of the high salaries and aura of success that these professions now bring. Students were doing so with little reference to the larger questions of meaning and purpose, said Hatch. That is, they choose professions not in answer to the question 'What job helps people to flourish,' but 'what job will help me to flourish?' As a result, there is a high degree of frustration expressed in our unfulfilling work.¹
"High salaries and aura of success."
"A high degree of frustration expressed in our unfulfilling work"
We all get it! We all want it! We all exhaust ourselves in pursuit of it! Apparently the good life and her accouterments entice us all.
This desire, though often distorted, twisted and bent out of shape in our modern world, is God given!
From the earliest moments of creation, in Genesis 1 we read,
"God blessed them, and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.'"
The Psalmist reminds us that desire is birthed by and filled in God. Consider Psalm 20:4, which says, May He grant you your heart's desire And fulfill all your counsel!
If the desire for the good life is a good and God-given desire, yet we find ourselves always and ever longing for more, feeling left out, wondering how we got here, then perhaps its time to adjust our aim!
As James K.A. Smith² has said, it's time we direct our desires toward a different, more life fulfilling end. In so doing, we may even stumble into a way of living that is both ancient and biblical. Possibly even learning a language that engages the culture and encouraging our culture and communities toward more life-affirming, life-fulfilling and life-giving ends.
If so, then the Gospel – the ancient Gospel – is the place to begin. The full Gospel as told in one of the oldest biblical books on record: the book of Job.
The Scriptures elevate one individual – Job – as one who had what we would all call the good life; only to lose it in what appears to be a great cosmic chess match.
Ultimately, as the drama of Job unfolds, his entire life is re-framed. In his struggle Job stumbles upon something – someone – called Wisdom and begins to understand that the ground and goal of the good life is Wisdom and her pursuit!
Perhaps his story might provide a pathway for us toward the good life?
In the midst of this epic narrative, Job asks a penetrating question:
"So where does wisdom come from (or where does one find wisdom)? Where is the source (or place) of understanding?"
Job asks and answers four relevant questions:
- What is wisdom?
- Where does it come from?
- How does one obtain it?
- Why does it matter?
Next week we will explore and consider answers to these questions. Answers that may help us rest in the good life. A rest that offers life giving rhythm for all of us in pursuit of the perpetually elusive good-life.
As I write this brief series, I am considering the following questions of introspection. Perhaps they would aid you in your journey as well.
- What is my vision of the good life (after all, we each have a vision of what the good life is)?
- What are my strategies for pursuing this vision of the good life? Am I in a conquer and consume mode or would I be identified by or open to a communion and commitment reality?
- How do I define wisdom and would a pursuit of ancient wisdom provide a pathway toward the life I say I desire?
I would love to hear your comments in the space provided with this blog. Your ideas of the good life would now doubt instruction and shape mine!
Next week: What is Wisdom?
Disrupting to Renew!

It is believed that Maa Sati's necklace fell here and the idols worshiped are Devi Ma as Nandini and Lord Shiva as Nandikishore Bhairav.
It is located originally in the former Nandipur village, which is now a part of Sainthia town, Birbhum district, West Bengal (220 K.m from Kolkata). Nandikeshwari temple is one of the 51 Shakti peeths, is only 1.5 K.m from Railway Station. The town is sanctified by the river Kopai and Maa Nandikeshwari, the Holy Goddess.
The main temple of the town is that of Maa Nandikeshwari's temple. She is believed to be present in a big mounted rock, with vermillion, in the shape of the back of a tortoise (kurma). She is adorned with a silver crown and three golden eyes. Festivals are held especially in The Baishakhi Purnima or the Buddha Purnima (full moon day), with yagna. Special rituals are also held on Kali Puja and on Amabasyas (new moon). And daily, Maa is offered with 'anna-bhog'(rice ) on the noon. The temple remains opened from 6 am to 10 pm daily.
There is a huge sacred tree where the devotees bind colourful threads to fulfil their wishes. The temple is also adorned with beautiful paintings of many Gods and Goddesses.

Are we really Free? 63 years of freedom from colonial rule, yet, we are not free from poverty, corruption, scams, riots, terrorists, disasters, inflation, bad governance! So, how are we Free? --
On 15th Aug, we'll celebrate our Independence; momentarily, we will remember the freedom movement, the blood our freedom fighters shed, sacrifices they made so that we could be free ( some won't bother at all as they take everything for granted ), and then later, forget all about it till next 15th Aug comes .
This subcontinent has the bloodiest history. It has seen invasions, loot, conversions over and over again. We were bunch of princely states scattered all over without any unity. Outsiders took advantage of it and ruled over us for centuries. Now even after attaining freedom, we see separatists and naxal movements in almost all states. In north, if we have Kashmir, Khalistan issue; in east we have Naga/Bodo/Manipuri, Ulfa militants, illegal Bangladeshi and jihadis. In south we have Kerela jihadists; in central parts we have mao-naxals. In west we have Raj Thackerey type politicians with regionalism, concerning the north-indian migrants issues. Then in almost all over India, we have caste issues, farmers committing suicides, we are among those with highest poverty levels, inflation and price rise of essential commodities, uncontrollable politicians in one scam or the other, bureaucracy infected with corruption, communal riots gripping the country in various parts every now and then..not to mention, India holding the record for maximum amount of terrorist attacks ever faced in its soil, in the world!
The urban youth have become ignorant immune couch potatoes, inspite of seeing everything happening around them. They are nonchalant about it. We continue to bring those people to power who has only further ruined and corrupted the system, we don't participate ourselves to weed out our seething problems..and then, blame others for all the wrong things. We as Indians, have to unite, irrespective of caste, language, religion etc, only then, the country will be strong, instead of hiding behind our respective 'groups' which only divides the society further.
We divided, enemies succeed; we united enemies defeat! So give it a serious thought. Are we really free?
On A Lighter Note - Azadi kya hai? School mei teachers azad hone nahi dete. Office me boss azad hone nahi dete. Jab shadi na huwa ho to parents azad hone nahi dete. Shadi ho jaye to spouse azad hone nahi dete. Aur buddhe ho jawo to bimariya azad hone nahi dete. Marne ke baad kabr/shamshaan azad hone nahi degi... Mujhe to dur dur tak azadi nahi dikh rahi...to hum azad kaise huwe? :p

My friend Aly at Analyze This is starting a Product of the week Linky party with Tiffanie. How fun! So I thought I would join in. My product of the week is Prime Time foundation primer from Bare Minerals.
I have never used a primer on my face before, only on my furniture. haha (I know I'm so funny) But the lady at Ulta talked me into it when I decided to give Bare Minerals powder a try too. At first I was thinking, NO way will I pay 20 something dollars for a small bottle of primer, but I have changed my mind. I LOVE IT. I use it every morning before I put on my make up. My face in now flawless.

This customer remodeled their master bathroom and chose to use a lot of tile and granite counter tops. We installed the tile on the floor in a Versailles pattern. We also installed the same color tile in a 12″ x 12″ size but in a brick pattern on the walls of the shower as a wainscot around three walls of bathroom. The fourth wall is tiled to above the door creating an archway with a decorative tile border. We installed a river rock floor in the shower pan.

I really enjoy meeting people in general, but I am on here to make connections and hopefully find some chemistry :)Overall, I like to have fun in life. I am usually down for whatever and I get excited very easily! I am very independent and I don't get caught up in small or material things. Since I am very versatile, I really enjoy the city and everything it has to offer!I can throw on some sneakers and hit the gym, a dancing class or enjoy the outdoors...music festivals, hiking, camping or something random, like rock climbing! Bare foot for a yoga class, Bikrim, the beach, laying out in the park or hanging around my apartment on a lazy day. I can also throw my heels on and go dancing, find a new restaurant, or go to an event. Or put on some flats for a boozy brunch, hit a museum, go to see a movie, hit up a dive bar, vintage/thrift shopping, house party or walking around.I love music! Really into classic rock, and my vinyl collection will tell you so. But I enjoy everything from blues to indie rock, metal, jazz, electronica, hip hop...Seeing live music is my ultimate idea of a good time.What I am looking for is a man. Someone who is independent and ambitious and really knows how to treat a woman. I do not feel that chivalry is dead, and it would be great to meet someone who has a similar versatile nature. I am big on communication and enjoy meeting people with open minds and understanding. I am very playful and fun loving.

A little pampering from time to time is nice but not expected. Although my favorite flowers happen to be stargazer lilies ;)I've been told I'm a bit of a tomboy.

GOAL achieved! Charter out spare weekends on your yacht!Tuesday, 9th February 2016
Things continue to progress at a rapid pace! After spending recent months building up strong partnerships with yacht charter companies in Greece and Croatia, we've followed up that by achieving one of our biggest – and most ambitious – goals in the UK!
Stroll around any marina in the UK and it's always disappointing to see how many empty boats are sitting there, unoccupied. Obviously, it's because the yacht owners can't be out sailing every day or weekend, but it makes the heart sink to think about all that potential for sailing which is going by the wayside – like being next to an empty ski-piste when the only ski-hire shop in town is closed, or walking past a perfectly cut football pitch when you don't have a ball.
When we launched PlainSailing.com, one of our aims was to change that, and we're proud to say that we've taken the first bold steps towards that aim: from today, our site is now optimised for yacht owners (whether they have one yacht or a fleet) to list yachts for charter on our site – a bit like - dare we say it - an AirBnB for sailors! :)
Listing a boat is FREE (we only take a commission for each customer we find you), and you set your own prices, any special season rates, control your yachts' profile, and retain the right to accept or reject proposed bookings (based upon the experience of the person trying to charter it, or if the dates are no longer convenient, etc…). Owners can also list the yachts as 'skippered only' – so there will always be someone on board you trust to look after the boat.
There's a couple of minor hoops to jump through in terms of getting MCA coding certification that your boat is seaworthy and has the right kit, and taking a few photographs, but it's remarkably straightforward to get your boat listed, and our team are ready and waiting to answer your questions – big and small - and to do all the jiggery-pokery and technical wizardry to help you get set up!
So let's get those boats out on the water, spread some sailing joy, and start a revolution in our marinas! @PlainSailing

Robert Ballagh (Irish Artist Directory)
Full Name: Robert Ballagh
Lived: 1943 -
Categories: Photorealism, Pop Art
Artist Biography
Dublin born artist Robert Ballagh has worked in numerous, but always recognisable, styles, but has most often been labelled a pop artist and a photorealist. His painting career began in 1966, working as an assistant to Michael Farrell where he received his only training, and is otherwise self taught. Just three years later he represented Ireland at the Venice Biennale, and since then has enjoyed success at home in Ireland, with a full scale retrospective at the RHA in 2006, as well as holding solo shows abroad in Sweden, Russia, Bulgaria and Poland.
Active both artistically and politically, Ballagh is a member of Aosdana, held an honorary presidency role at the International Association of Art, and coordinated the 75th anniversary commemoration of the 1916 Easter Rising in 1991 as well as the opening ceremonies of the 2003 Special Olympics World Summer Games and the 2006 Ryder Cup. His design skills were put to use further in the public realm when he designed the last series of Irish Banknotes before the introduction of the euro, and he has designed over 70 postage stamps. He has also designed numerous theatre sets, most famously for Riverdance. His paintings can be found in the major collection including the National Gallery of Ireland, Ulster Museum, Trinity College Dublin and Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery.

Clench the fingers clench the teeth, and say, without a word, yes! Clench the fingers fold the arm, and jab, without a motion, swish! These actions I did, these actions I did, in the most subtle method. For lady luck followed me, and the smell of money surrounded me, and some air of merriment sat with me. To town, I headed, in a matatu. With Shish, I'd meet at 9. This morning, the sun and his sky smiled upon the city and greeted the air below, and the air smiled back and warmed and freshened itself. When I alighted, thirty minutes before the agreed hour, I walked to Railways Bus Station to wait for Shish there. I figured she wanted to but something in town, and would therefore require my company. If she'd ask me to take her to Muthurwa to purchase what foodstuff, I'd not object—mighty cheerful I felt today; however, my major mission remained to search for a house, and buy what household goods I may need. Clench the fingers clench the teeth, and say, without a word, yes!
There at the station, I leaned on a rail and busied myself with my phone. Passengers and passersby milled around. But I observed them not, and they observed me not. Now, nine months had elapsed since I first arrived in the city, and no pickpockets or muggers engendered a chill in me anymore. In the hooting and tramping and shoving at this station, I jabbed my right arm in the air, without a motion, swish!
Soon, Shish called. At Nakumatt Moi Avenue, she stood. There, I went. Indeed, at the pavement, at Nakumatt Moi Avenue, she stood, in a blue dress, in blue earrings, in blue shoes, with a blue purse. I never saw a glamorous girl like her. In leaving her, Fred (my former host) lost gold—I swear. Anyway, I hugged the girl, and the girl smelt like incense. The girl then requested me to accompany her to a jewelry shop, up on Kimathi Street. And I accepted. I said before, today I felt mighty cheerful, and would do what most a girl wanted, as in the business of moving around the city from shop to shop, checking what earring or bangle would match what outfit, for a long long time.
This jewelry business, we concluded at 11, having paid for some of those goods myself. Then we headed to Kencom to board a bus to Dagoretti. As we walked, we talked. Presently, Shish said, "You are nice.'
"I said you are nice."
"Oh, why?"
"You have taken me to buy these—" she said, displaying the jewelry in her hands.
"Yap, you are welcome," said I. In truth, I disliked shopping, more so with people who picked an item in a shop, and raised it, and lowered it, and held it against the light, and held it in a shadow, and asked the price, and bargained, and tried the item on, and asked if it fitted, and turned round, and asked if it fitted, and turned round, and removed the item, and placed it back on its place, and said to the seller, 'Thank you.' Anyway, we boarded the bus to Dagoretti, and in it sat side by side. "I've missed you," said I.
"Me too," said she, without looking at me.
"So…how have you been, all this time?" said I, without looking at her.
"Ok. So…how is everyone at home?"
"Ok. So…have you spoken to Fred?"
"Mnh-mhn," said she, shaking her head, together with the locks on it.
"You want me to speak with him?"
"No! No…" said I, looking at her, "you know I like you…right?"
"Aha," said she, nodding.
Then a long silence prevailed. As we neared Dagoretti, I said, "You said your friend, Caren, lives there—"
"Oh, yea. I should even—" she pulled her phone from her purse, "—I should whatsapp her now…ah, good. There."
We alighted at a petrol station, and then walked around it into a backstreet, and then proceeded along the street, with shops and houses and bars and lodges lined on each side. Farther, we went, with a slight ascent on the gravel road. By and by, I saw better structures on each side of the road than the ones I'd observed closer to the petrol station. Soon, we made a turn to the right, and stopped at a tall flat, with a blue gate. "Here we are," said Shish.
"Yap," said I, pocketing my hands and stretching my back and whistling a little. I knew Caren should open the gate. For long I hadn't seen her. The last time I interacted with her—during the housewarming party in Umoja—she didn't say much, and neither did I. We'd stood there at the gate for a minute or so, so I said, "Had you told her we are here already? Perhaps she—"
The tiny entrance on the gate tinged and it opened inward, then a blow-dried head peeped out, and then retreated. We walked in through the entrance, Shish first; and I closed it behind me. She (our host) stood there on the side, her hands on her waist. Like a married woman, she looked, I think. She wore a long brown dress, with sandals on her feet. If I compared well her former self and the one who stood before us, she'd added some weight. While I stood there, the two pecked, and each said how she'd missed the other, in sweet voices like those of small babies crying. "You look good!" said Shish. "You as well," said Caren. After these merry exchanges, Caren turned to me and said, "Hi," stretching her right hand. I responded. "Long time," added she.
"Yap, long time indeed," said I. I wanted to tell her that we should go right out and begin the search for my house. But she wore sandals and that long dress, and I conjectured she hadn't readied herself yet for my business. She now said, "Come, let's go up, come. I've prepared food, so we we will eat first, before we go see your house, on the third floor. The tenant there, left yesterday." Clench the fingers clench the teeth, and say, without a word, yes! Clench the fingers fold the arm, and jab, without a motion, swish!

Allegheny Mountains Bike TourPosted by Doug Shidell, December 27th , 2016.
Bicycle touring in the Allegheny Mountains isn't for the faint of heart. The climbs, and descents, are steep, the mountains are high and there aren't a lot of flat stretches to catch your breath and recover. But for those who are up for the challenge, the rewards more than match the challenges. Bikeverywhere's newest mobile map, Allegheny Mountains Bike Tour, lays out a route from Buffalo, New York to Yorktown, Virginia that follows the spine of the Allegheny Mountains through upstate New York, western Pennsylvania, Western Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia. The route follows mountain streams, climbs peaks, explores valleys and passes through dozens of small towns. Check out Allegheny Mountains Bike Tour Narrative, a first person account of riding this route in the fall of 2016.

Converting Image Format When Thumbnailing
Recently I built a screen where the user can upload multiple images with SWFUpload and attachment_fu. In this case the user is an award-winning photographer and he uploads images in a wide variety of formats. So far, so good.
The catch is his wanting the thumbnail the site generates for each image to be a JPEG. So if he uploads a CR2, the site should generate a JPEG thumbnail (while leaving the original intact).
This is so that every browser can display thumbnails of his images regardless of their original formats. Sensible.
It sounds simple but, as I often find with attachment_fu, getting it working was harder than I anticipated. There may well be a more elegant solution than the code below. I'm sure you could generalise it to other formats and other image processors, pluginise it, and so on. However my code does have the virtue of working.
- Attachment_fu
- RMagick
- Your server has the necessary delegate libraries

Hi there,
Thanks for the example code on how to resize to jpeg in rmagick when the original isn't a format (e.g. tiff, bmp) that imagemagick/rmagick can resize as is.
I've taken your code and generalized it a little more and made it a module here:

Makeup For Fair Skin & Blue Eyes, Today I am going to help you get a beautiful natural look for your beautiful healthy looking light olive light skin tone and beautiful bright deep blue eyes, when I was learning cosmetic and makeup, there was a teacher in that institute and she always use to say, if you want to look your best then you need to be creative and you cannot be creative until you keep your ears open, fold them in and listen what your heart and your mind has to say, break the rules, don't listen what people has to say about looks, create your own rule book and follow those rules and I still follow this rule, I learn the rules with all my hearts and then I break them and trust me, it's fun and it is fun too so stop listening what people say, all these warm tones and dull tones, if you want to use a shade and it fascinate you then try it, and then you will see if it look good on you or not and then decide if it's for you or not , don't allow boundaries to cut the wings of your creativity, this is the first rule of beautiful looks and cosmetic I actually learned there and I am product of my own creativities so far.
Makeup For Fair Skin & Blue Eyes
The look I am going to create today is an absolutely creative look for your blue babies because I am going to use beautiful pink for your blues and they both are undertone and cool shades and I love using light natural shades for beautiful blues and you would see how cute dark brown would look with this look.
We will start with absolutely neat and clean face and we will use BBcream as base because it's a day look we are creating today and I hate to use thick foundation or concealer base for day time cause it look absolutely horrible with natural light so we will apply tint moisturizer or BBcream and then we will finish it with lose powder to set the look, now we will come to eyes.
Makeup For Fair Skin & Blue Eyes, I use lighter than skin tone primer to get a smoother and prettier lids and lighter primer pop the shade batter and it make eyes look brighter and fresher too, then we will take richest transparent pink shimmer and we will apply it all over the lid and blend well, we will take light silver highlighter with blending brush and we will blend the pink with it and it will make your pink look more cute and more bright yet light for a day time look.
Now we will take mate darker brown shade and we will start from the outer corner of the lid and we will blend the shade in the crease and we will blend till it look super natural and then we will take the same shade and tab it on the outer corner a bit to add some more depth.
Now we will take black gel liner and we will apply a tightline on inner rim and then a wing on the upper lash line and let it get dry, and try to avoid excessive blinking, I don't want that black on your lower lash line or on your water line at all, now we will take light white shade which has some shimmer in it and we will apply on the tear duct and on the brown bone too, and we will blend with small brush.
Now you need to take nude eye pencil and we will apply a thick line on the water line and finish the look with mascara and I would suggest use natural cheeks and lips with this beautiful bright look.

Accessory experts Olivier Laudus have added coloured bridal headbands to their popular Made in Britain collection of headpieces.
The beautiful finishing touches be customised for no extra cost to include a band which matches your hair colour, instead of the customary metal bands found on most headpieces.
"I found that there were many brides coming to our studio in London who didn't like the metal band on the headpiece," says Olivier. "Particularly if they had fine hair, as it would seem too prominent and be difficult to hide the band. We are really excited about being able to offer bands which match an individual bride's hair colour."
Headpieces in the Made in Britain collection are available in blond, brown and black as well as the regular silver and gold. All pieces are made to order and can take up to two weeks to complete, with prices ranging between £95 and £210.
The Olivier Laudus online bridal boutique offers three fabulous collections. The Signature Collection features luxury hand-beaded wedding ring cushions and guestbooks designed by Olivier himself, as well as new bridal jewellery designed exclusively for the brand.
The Boutique Collection of handpicked ready-to-wear gorgeous accessories includes stylish bridal bags, pearl and crystal jewellery, princess-style tiaras and even ivory heart-shaped umbrellas! The third collection is the Artisan collection where Olivier Laudus work alongside British designers to offer unique handmade jewellery and hair accessories, all made the UK.

The children in Barn Owl class have already settled in very well and made a great start to the new school year. Our class teacher is Mrs Davies and we have two lovely teaching assistants to help us with our work; Mrs Edwards supports with our maths and English in the morning and Miss Buckle helps us in the afternoons.
We have lots of exciting work planned for Year 4 and can't wait to get started! Our class teacher is Mrs Davies. Mrs Masefield will also be supporting us each morning with our Maths and English and Mrs Stratton will teach us on Tuesday afternoons. We have enjoyed getting to know the children so far and they have already settled in very well to the new school year.
Barn Owl's Reading Challenge
This term, Barn Owls have been taking part in the '2017 Good Reads Reading Challenge' with the aim to read 100 books as a class before the end of the year. At the start of this week, we managed to finally reach our target with an impressive 105 books read, including 4 class novels! As promised, we celebrated our reading achievements by coming to school in pyjamas and bringing in our favourite story books ready to share with the class. We had a lovely, relaxed morning reading together and drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows and cookies. Well done, Barn Owls!
Exploring Eastern Europe Topic Day - October 2017
On the last day of half term, Year 4 finished their Exploring Eastern Europe topic by doing just that – exploring all things Eastern European. Much to the children's delight this included 'visiting a country' and writing all about their travels in our 'Barn Owls Travel Blog'. The children then located the countries, seas and landmarks in Art by creating a giant map display. Finally we finished with a feast, making and sampling a variety of Eastern European delicacies, including kolache cookies, strudel and polish sweets – yummy! All of the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and looked the part too, coming to school dressed as a country of their choice. Mrs Davies was very impressed by their efforts for their homework projects which she is proudly displaying in the classrooms. Thank you to all the parents for their support with this. Take a look at some of our photographs below to see all the fun we had!
Wednesday 13th September 2017
Year Four running a mile and more.
Well done everyone!
(Mrs Webb apologises for her poor video footage!)
A very warm welcome to you all. This year, Class 4 will be taught be Mrs Davies and Miss Wood. Our Classroom assistant is Mrs Stratton. We hope your children are settling in well and are enjoying our exciting topics.
Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Ainsworth are the job share teachers in Barn Owls.
Mrs. Kennedy teaches Monday to Wednesday and Mrs Ainsworth teaches on Thursdays and Fridays.
On Tuesday Class 4 travelled to Malvern to take part in the 'Lifepath 2016' celebrations held at the Priory. We joined children from other local schools and tried various activities such as brass rubbing, making stained windows and learning about the life of the Monks who used to live in the Priory. We had a great day!
Barn Owls Class put their Egyptian learning to the test just before half term. Having learned all about the mummification process we had a go at making our own canopic jars - to store the organs of the dead! The jars and lids, with model heads of the four sons of Horus on top, look fantastic. Having considered Egyptian transport, we set about making Egyptian boats. Though traditionally made from reeds, we went and collected long grasses to make the base of our boats, following the Egyptian boat making method. Special thanks to Jackie Taylor (Martha's mum) for researching and organising the boat building activity on the day. Following a traditional Egyptian bread recipe, we all had a go at making rolls, adding in a couple of ingredients of our own choice to give them a personal twist! The afternoon began with a display of individual or group Egyptian dances, choreographed by the children, based on the arm positions adopted in a variety of Egyptian wall art. All the children were fantastic. Finally, we got our bread out of the oven and enjoyed an Egyptian feast. According to several children in the class, "It was the best day ever!" Certainly a lot of fun was had by all! Thanks again to all the adult helpers for making it such a successful event and to the children for their never ending enthusiasm.
On Tuesday 23rd February we travelled to Techniquest, the Science Discovery Centre in Cardiff with its 160 Science experiments to look at and try. The day was a very exciting and 'hands on' learning experience for the children.
We also took the opportunity to go into the Theatre and watch 'The Electricity Show'. We learnt about how electricity is produced and used. Lots of our children were chosen to take part in the show. George demonstrated how to light up a bulb using wave power, Emily and Alice become human wires in a circuit, Jack produced static electricity and Cairo raced Mrs Luce to roll cans using only the power of static electricity.
The weather outside may have been cold but the atmosphere in Barn Owl class on our Fabulous Fiesta Topic day was positively Mediterranean! Dressed in Spanish costumes we immersed ourselves in Spanish culture. Firstly, we made our own Spanish tiles. Then we practised our bandaging skills, using mod roc plaster bandages to make a 6 foot replica of 'El Drac' (the dragon), also referred to as the Gaudi lizard situated in the Parc Güell, Barcelona.
In the afternoon, we put on our dancing shoes and learnt the Pasa Doble. Strictly Come Dancing watch out, we have some serious Latin movers in year 4! Later we got out our vegetable peelers and prepared ingredients for a Spanish Tortilla and Patata Bravas (potatoes served with a spicy tomato sauce).Whilst the food cooked, the Class 4 Senors and Senoritas enjoyed traditional Spanish party games. The day was rounded off with a fabulous Fiesta feast, where the children tasted a range of Spanish foods, including those we had prepared ourselves.
"I loved pretending to be a Matador during the Pasa Doble dancing!" (Ben)
"My favourite part was designing and painting my Spanish tile." (Lucy I)
"It was all great, but the food was best of all. It was fantastic!" (Alice)
Class 4 Visit the largest Hindu Temple in Europe!
Yes, it's true, Class 4 could have been in India instead of Dudley on Tuesday as they visited the Balaji Temple, the largest Hindu Temple complex in Europe. Visitors flock in their thousands to see this truly authentic South Indian style temple which is built from hand carved stone imported from Tamil Nadu. Our guide, helped us to understand the Hindu faith and allowed us to walk around several different shrines which were decorated with brightly coloured orange and white flowers, imported from India. The sights, sounds and smells left a lasting memory with the children. We then enjoyed a simple meal of Poppadums and special rice which was delicious, before returning to school.

"When the FCC repealed its net neutrality rules, it said consumers should choose", Bullock said in a press release.
Bullock and Montana's strategy of targeting procurement to enforce net neutrality rules could prove to be more successful than other states' efforts, said Daniel Lyons, a professor at Boston College Law School who specializes in telecommunications and administrative law.
Gov. Steve Bullock on Monday signed an executive order requiring successful recipients of state contracts adhere to certain principles. The State of Montana is a significant purchaser of internet services. According to Bullock, "This is a simple step".
The executive action only applies to Montana but could quickly trickle down to other states. Already, a Nebraska senator introduced a bill to preserve it in that state. The regulations will affect major providers like AT&T, Charter, CenturyLink, and Verizon, all of which have to do business with the state to some degree in order to serve major metropolitan areas.
Now Bullock is encouraging other governors and state legislators to follow his example.
The delay isn't necessarily the GAO's fault (it's always been underfunded) but it is a noted contrast to the way Pai's FCC barreled through the rule-making process to repeal net neutrality.More news: ASEAN commemorative summit begins on Thursday
More news: Netanyahu: US must mediate between Palestine and Israel
More news: Tesla Model S Rams Stationary Fire Truck - Driver Blames Autopilot
"But a free and open Internet is no longer guaranteed", he continued.
A group of 22 attorneys general, including Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and led by Eric Schneiderman of NY, sued in federal court Wednesday to overturn the FCC decision. In a letter written to Representative Frank Pallone Jr., the GAO said it would review the "extent and pervasiveness of fraud and the misuse of American identities" during the process, in about five months' time.
Governor Bullock may have issued the order, but whether it sticks or not is a different ballgame.
"States have enormous discretion with regard to their power of purchasing", says Harold Feld, senior vice president at the advocacy group Public Knowledge. "I think the agency acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner, and we're taking them to court to stop this action".
The FCC did not respond to StateScoop's request for comment. And last week, 21 state attorneys general and the District of Columbia sued the FCC in an attempt to block the repeal.

LISLE, Illinois – Senior Austin Wright won the 3000m steeplechase and broke the school record in the javelin in leading the MSOE men's track & field team to fifth place at the 2017 NACC Outdoor Championships Friday and Saturday at Benedictine University.
The Raiders finished with 54 points in the 10-team field, finishing just eight points out of fourth place.
Wright led four scorers in the steeplechase for MSOE, running a time of 9:49.42. Junior Trey Horbinski was runner-up in 10:00.53 and junior Tripp Horbinski was fifth in 10:28.34. Senior Nick Avila rounded out the scorers in eirhgh with a time of 10:32.73.
In the javelin, Wright threw 172-8 as runner-up, which easily broke the school record by six feet, six inches. Kevin Diedrich had held the record of 166-0 since 2010. Sophomore Miro Stojanovic also scored in the event, throwing 140-10 for sixth place.
Wright also led three scoring runners in the 5000m, where he placed third with a time of 15:58.99. Freshman Nick Bath finished seventh with a time of 16:20.27 and Tripp Horbinski was eighth in 16:35.19.
Trey Horbinski added another scoring performance of his own, placing fifth in the 1500m. He finished in 4:06.35.
The Raiders scored two more athletes in field events and took eighth in each of the two relay events. In the long jump, senior Michael Van Alstyne was sixth with a distance of 43-7 3/4 and freshman Derek Schrimpf placed eighth with a throw of 124-0 in the discus throw.
Van Alstyne, Avila, sophomore McCoy Swanson, and freshman Avery Bobo made up the 4x400m relay, which ran a time of 3:34.70. In the 4x100m relay, it was Swanson, Trey Horbinski, Bobo, and senior Devon Searfoss teaming for a time of 46.81.
The Raiders will next send a partial squad to last chance qualifiers in the Dr. Keeler Invitational next weekend and the Gregory Invitational May 18-19, both at North Central College.

Case Study: JAD's HR services for the Lincolnshire Traveller Initiative
Jane Riley, on behalf of JAD Associates (Improvement Solutions) Ltd, was invited by Lincolnshire Traveller Initiative (LTI), in February 2015, to provide HR expertise in the development of an appropriate HR framework suitable for LTI's needs and to facilitate transition to this framework in the light of a revised organisational structure in respect of current staff employed.
The LTI was formed approximately 15 years ago because Travellers' were not accessing full time education in Gainsborough; They set up a parent and toddler group in Gainsborough, obtained some lottery funding, registered as a Charity and employed one play group worker and it grew from there. It developed to incorporate Lincoln and then funding was received which enabled the organisation to expand to county-wide.
The organisation developed in a very fluid manner due to the nature of the funding streams coming in. A large majority of the funding is restricted whereby the sponsor sets conditions on how the monies should be spent.
Funding is generally time-limited and aimed at delivery of a specific piece of work. Whilst expansion therefore brought great achievements and outcomes, it nevertheless resulted in a seemingly chaotic organisational structure which developed with no clear boundaries or accountabilities for staff and no performance metrics against which the organisation could be measured. This led to staff being unsure of their responsibilities and some potential leadership and management issues as there appeared to be no clear mission statement or objectives to which the organisation was working.
At the time of JAD's engagement there were six Trustees. The roles and responsibilities of each Trustee were being developed and more clearly documented and agreed. The organisation was also transitioning from a Charity to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation which also reflected how the organisation had expanded; this move would also facilitate the implementation of a new organisational structure and constitution.
Jane met with two of the Trustees and proposed development of an HR framework in the form of an employee handbook and implementation of revised contracts of employment which should be reviewed annually in the light of most staff being employed on a fixed term basis. Jane developed the handbook and contracts via regular contact with the Trustees and was available for telephone support during the implementation phase.
Paul Boucher, Director said that the project "was completed comfortably within the agreed timescale" and that LTI were "very comfortable with the content and structure". He confirmed that the project represented "good value and a good investment for our organisation". He said he would recommend JAD Associates to other organisations.

The Internet has changed a lot over the past 15 years. Back then, when Web-based tools and programming languages were emerging, almost anyone with a knack for coding could easily find work as a Web developer or programmer. Today, the game has changed and those with proven skills are the best candidates for jobs designing, developing and maintaining websites and tools for organizations in all sectors. JavaScript training is a simple way for developers and programmers to set themselves apart from the masses and make themselves stand out as qualified technology candidates.
What is JavaScript and why is it important to developers?
According to information from TechTarget, JavaScript is "an interpreted programming or script language." It can be compared to Microsoft's Visual Basic and Unix-based Perl. Generally speaking, these languages are easier to code than C and C++ and can be very useful for writing shorter programs.
Specifically, JavaScript is best known to Web developers, programmers and designers because it gives them ability to do things like:
- Enhance HTML tags
- Animate elements on a Web page
- Load changing information at a set interval without any user interaction--for example, updating headlines such as sports scores or stock tickers
- Fix layout issues in CSS or HTML
With so many diverse applications, it's easy to see why JavaScript training can be an asset for anyone seeking a career as a web developer or programmer.
Who can benefit most from JavaScript courses?
Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) shows that Web designers and developers with JavaScript training can fill a wide variety of roles and can be:
- Computer and web programmers
- Desktop publishers and Web publication designers
- Web authors
- Computer scientists and database administrators, including Web designers, Web developers and Webmasters
The BLS has projected faster-than-average growth in almost all of these competitive fields. Relevant computer skills, including those obtained through JavaScript courses, can be what it takes to break into or advance a career in any of these evolving sectors.
Those seeking to learn JavaScript will likely find many training options, including everything from online self-guided tutorials to formal JavaScript courses offered by computer training schools.

Candy Claws-Transitional Bird (Clever Girl)
Thank you to We Listen For You for introducing me to this song. Ceres & Calypso In The Deep Time, when it comes out, will be Candy Claws' fourth album. Their fourth, and I have never given them the time of day. I probably wouldn't be kicking myself so hard right now over this if I hadn't heard "Transitional Bird (Clever Girl)" just now, a song that truly blew me away. The song has a deeply warped majesty to it, pulling deeply from the psychedelic sprawl Youth Lagoon crafted on Wondrous Bughouse. "Transitional Bird (Clever Girl)" is a heavy piece of twisted, unraveling '60s pop and modern experimentalism, touches of The Olivia Tremor Control if Syd Barrett had taken over the band and taken them deeper down the rabbit hole. There is a deeply, ever present sense of looming insanity on the song, reenforced by the magnitude of spiraling electronic that are tracked on top each other, denser than a collapsed star. However, Candy Claws manage to keep the song feeling almost ethereal at times, in part from the hazy yet high octave vocals, and in part due to the production being so great that everything that swirls around during "Transitional Bird (Clever Girl) sounds completely natural and organic, like everything was plucked from a nature documentary and compressed into one song. It's one of the most lovely songs I've heard all year, a pure example of how creative psychedelia can exist when channeled creatively.

Stay Safe! Speak Out!
Posted on 30 January 2018
Our children had two assemblies today with visitors from the NSPCC. The message all the children received was that they should always feel safe. If they don't they should speak out.
They met Buddy (the speech bubble ) who is the mascot for the message our visitors were giving. So remember if something is worrying you STAY SAFE and SPEAK OUT.

Married At First Sight's Nasser Sultan has been dodging questions about his sexuality for weeks following the hit reality series end, but the 51-year-old Surry Hills local has finally addressed those rumours.
The reality star, who is rumoured to be dating 20-year-old fashion student Eyob Geist, has fired up at an Australian publication that asked if they were an item.
'Who cares if I'm gay or not? What difference does it make. I went onto MAFS to find love with someone and I'm still looking now,' he told NW.
'I shouldn't have to come out and label myself or anything like that - no-one should. What's that saying...sexuality is fluid.'
Just last week, when asked about his 'younger friend', Nasser kept his answer simple, stating the two 'would' be spending more time together.

A seven-year-old Grade one pupil at Earling primary school in Mvurwi was mauled by three dogs yesterday
Eyewitnesses identified the dogs' owner as retired colonel Nhapata.
It is alleged the boy was on his way home from school when the vicious dogs attacked him. The attack caused severe head injuries that have left his skull exposed.
The boy was rushed to Mvurwi hospital by his parents who are unemployed and reside at Earling farm along Guruve-Mvurwi high way.
Meanwhile, as a result of the severe injuries the boy was referred to Parirenyatwa hospital and is currently in a critical condition and on life support.
Residents and farm workers in surrounding areas expressed their shock at the incident and are fearing for the safety of their children who pass nearby Nhapata's homestead on their way to school.
Concerned parents are calling for the dogs to be gunned down.
"These dogs should be shot because they mauled an innocent grade one student who was walking home so surely killing them is the best solution, our children are not safe," said the source in disgust.

Calls will be automatically ended when you do not have sufficient credits to continue the call for another full minute. Credits added to your account while a call is in progress cannot be applied to that call; the call will terminate when the allotted credits for that call have been used and you will need to make a new call to continue chatting.
