Ivory Black is a cool, semi-transparent blue-black with a slight brownish undertone and average tinting strength. It mixes well with any color, and creates a range of dull greens when mixed with yellow. It has good properties for use in oil, can be slow to dry in oil form, and should never be used in underpainting or frescoing. Ivory Black is denser than Lamp Black.
Ivory Black is very lightfast and has good permanence, though it is considered the least permanent of the major black pigments.
Ivory Black has no significant hazards.
Ivory Black is a carbon based black first named as Elephantium, and described in the 4th century BCE as produced by heating ivory scraps in clay pots to reduce the ivory or bone to charcoal. The deviation in names is because the more expensive varieties of this pigment were made by burning ivory, and the less expensive ones by burning animal bone. In the 19th century, the name Ivory Black was finally permitted to be applied to Carbon Black pigments made from bone. True Ivory Black is rare in modern times due to the protection of ivory, and the synthetic variety produced today was discovered in 1929. Bone Black is produced as an industrial pigment.
Animal Black, Blue Black, Bone Black. Paris Black is an inferior grade of Ivory Black. Incorrectly labeled as Frankfort Black.
organic, monoazo
Permanent Carmine (HF4C) is a non-staining, transparent red pigment that is similar to natural carmine in its hue and other properties.
Permanent Carmine (HF4C) has excellent lightfastness for a transparent red pigment.
Permanent Carmine (HF4C) has no acute toxicity.
Permanent Carmine (HF4C) has been developed as a replacement for Carmine, a transparent red derived from the cochineal insect. It is one of a large group of azo pigments that were discovered and developed by Hoechst in the 1950s and 1960s. In comparison with natural carmine derived from cochineal, it is far less expensive, and offers superior lightfastness.
beta copper phthalocyanine
Phthalo Blue PB15:3 is a structural variant of Phthalo Blue PB15 that produces more greenish tones.
Phthalo Blues are completely lightfast and stable and are permanent for all paint uses. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Blues have no significant hazards, although those made before 1982 contained some PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).
Developed by chemists using the trade name Monastral Blue, the organic blue dyestuff now known as Phthalo Blue was presented as a pigment in November 1935 in London. Its discovery was accidental. The dark color was observed in a kettle where a dye was being made from a British dyestuff plant. The demand for such a pigment came from commercial printers who wanted a cyan to replace Prussian Blue.
Phthalo Blue Green Shade, Winsor Blue Green Shade
titanium dioxide
Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.
Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as completely non-toxic. Animal studies give no indiciation that it is absorbed biologically, even after long periods of exposure. The primary safety concern is with inhalation of fine pigment dust particles. Titanium White, if inhaled in large amounts over the course of several years, may cause a benign pneumoconiosis that is visible on x-rays. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers fine titanium dioxide particles, if inhaled, to be a human carcinogen. The primary concern for artists is to avoid exposure to fine particulate dust from raw pigments.
Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.
complex silicate of sodium and aluminum with sulfur
Na8-10Al6Si6O24S2-4 or Na6-8Al6Si6O24S2-4
Ultramarine is the standard warm blue, a brilliant blue pigment that has the most purple and least green in its undertone. It has a moderate to high tinting strength and a beautiful transparency. Synthetic Ultramarine is not as vivid a blue as natural Ultramarine. Ultramarine dries slowly in oil and tends to produce clean, though granular, washes in watercolor. French Ultramarine mixes well with Alizarin colors in oil and watercolor form to create a range of purples and violets. It can dull when mixed with white in acrylic form, but mixes well with other colors. The shade varies based on manufacturer. Considered a great color for glazes, it is not suitable for frescoing.
Ultramarine has excellent permanence, although synthetic Ultramarine is not as permanent as natural Ultramarine. It may discolor if exposed to acid because of its sulfuric content.
Ultramarine has no significant hazards.
The name for this pigment comes from the Middle Latin ultra, meaning beyond, and mare, meaning sea, because it was imported from Asia to Europe by sea. It is a prominent component of lapis lazuli and was used on Asian temples starting in the 6th century. It was one of the most expensive pigments in 16th century Europe, worth twice its weight in gold, and so was used sparingly and when commissions were larger. Ultramarine is currently imitated by a process invented in France in 1826 by Jean Baptiste Guimet, making blue affordable to artists and extending the range of colors on their palettes.
Artificial Ultramarine, French Blue, French Ultramarine, Gmelin's Blue, Guimet's Blue, Permanent Blue, Royal Blue, Synthetic Ultramarine. New Blue describes particular shades of Ultramarine. Armenian Blue and Lazuline Blue are names for genuine Lapiz Ultramarine. Sky Blue is a pale tone of Ultramarine.

Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino today defended the arrests of scores of Occupy Boston protesters in a section of the city's Greenway park, saying he agrees with them on the issues but they couldn't be allowed to "tie up the city."
"I understand they have freedom of speech and freedom of expression, but we have a city to manage," he said in a telephone interview. "I'm open to suggestions, but civil disobedience will not be tolerated."
The early morning arrests of the protesters, who have gathered downtown in recent days to criticize the financial industry and social inequality, began at about 1:20 a.m. Police said late this afternoon that 141 people had been arrested.
"The message they are saying ... is the middle class of America is having a difficult time. That's the issue they are trying to get across," Menino said.
"I agree with them on the issues. Foreclosure. Corporate greed. These are issues I've been working on my entire career. But you can't tie up a city," he said.
He said protesters had crossed two lines, first, by marching on the North Washington Street Bridge and threatening to tie up traffic and, second, by expanding their campground to a newly renovated area of the Greenway that the city had asked them to stay off.
Occupy Boston said today in a statement that police had "brutally attacked" protesters.
"Today's reprehensible attack by the Boston Police Department represents a sad and disturbing shift away from dialogue and towards violent repression," the group said on its website.
"Members of Veterans for Peace [a peace group that has joined the loosely organized protest] carrying American flags were pushed to the ground and their flags trampled as the police hauled them away," the group said in a statement.
Boston police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll said officers "have a right to protect themselves," and acted with restraint.
"We believe all our officers were respectful and proportional," she said.
She said police felt compelled to break up the demonstration when it expanded beyond Dewey Square, where protesters have been camped for nearly two weeks, to the adjacent section of the Greenway.
"We have been very accommodating to everyone's right to demonstrate peaceably," she said. "But when unpredictability starts to enter the scenario, we are obligated to maintain public order and protect public safety."
She said camping overnight on the Greenway, a public park, is generally not allowed. Police can also arrest groups of people for "unlawful assembly" if they do not disperse when ordered.
The first wave of those arrested made their appearances in Boston Municipal Court this afternoon.
By mid-afternoon, nine men who were still in custody, and 10 more men who had been released by police were notified that Suffolk prosecutors wanted their cases converted into civil infractions from criminal violations.
Municipal Court Judge Raymond Dougan agreed to the request by prosecutors from Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley's office. All 19 had originally faced two criminal charges. One, unlawful assembly, carries a maximum sentence of a year in the county jail or a $500 fine. The second, violation of a municipal bylaw, carries a $300 fine. The protesters were ordered to pay a $50 assessment fee to the courts.
The arrests began around 1:20 a.m. when police lined up on Atlantic Avenue. Minutes later, dozens of sheriff vans and police wagons arrived, and more than 200 officers, both in uniforms and riot gear, surrounded the section of the Greenway -- bounded by Atlantic Avenue, Congress, Purchase, and Pearl streets -- occupied by the protesters.
Police Superintendent William Evans and Commissioner Edward F. Davis watched from across the street. Evans gave the crowd two minutes to disperse, warning that they would be locked up if they did not comply.
The crowd, energized by the sudden appearance of the Boston and transit police officers, chanted, ''The people united will never be defeated,'' "This is a peaceful protest," and "The whole world is watching.''
About 10 minutes later, the first officers entered the park and surrounded the group. Evans, using a loudspeaker, gave one more warning and then each protester was individually put on his or her stomach, cable-tied, and dragged off as other officers tore down tents and arrested and detained people on the fringe of the park.
One police officer was hit in the face. According to police, no protesters or police were seriously injured.
A number of protesters retreated from the Greenway to Dewey Square when police arrived.
Urszula Masny-Latos, executive director of the National Lawyers Guild's Northeast regional office, said she was on the scene as a legal observer. The Guild is a national non-profit that often represents people engaged in civil disobedience.
Masny-Latos said no protesters fought with police. She said police could have employed a technique routinely used at other protests – police approach a protester, tell them they are violating the law, and the protester then submits to being taken into custody – and still achieved their goal of clearing the area.
"They really attacked,'' Masny-Latos said of police. "They used force that was completely unnecessary. … It was just brutal. I have no idea why they arrested us with such force.''
To her shock, Masny-Latos herself was among those arrested. She said Boston police usually respect the legal observers the guild routinely dispatches to public protests.
However, even though she was wearing a green hat with the words, "legal observer'' clearly visible, Masny-Latos said, she was the second person arrested by police.
"It was very surprising,'' she said of being arrested. "Boston police usually respect our legal observers. And they usually leave us alone. … I was legal observing. I wasn't even chanting anything.''
"Four officers grabbed me and dragged me,'' she said. "I begged them to stop, [told them that that] they were hurting me. I have no idea why they arrested us with such force.''
Police had earlier warned the approximately 1,000 protesters to leave the Greenway area and relocate to either Dewey Square or a small, adjacent strip of the Greenway.
John Nilles, 74, a former Marine from Medford who served in Vietnam and is a member of Veterans for Peace, said he was knocked down during the arrests.
He believes he did not get arrested in the chaos because he got knocked down and banged up his knee.
"I have absolutely no use for police anymore," he said. "I don't know what I'm going to do."
He talked about how it reminded him of the 1960s. "This is not the world I intended to come back to," he said in reference to Vietnam.
James Woods, 52, of Roxbury, a protester who was not arrested, said this morning that police had not used their batons but he had seen them "aggressively manhandling women." He also said police had used pepper spray on some people. The site was cleared, he said, and protesters' cameras, tents, and clothes were thrown into a dumpster.
The section of the Greenway once occupied by the protesters remained closed off this morning, surrounded by groups of police officers and steel barricades.
The Rose F. Kennedy Greenway is a strip of green that winds through downtown Boston, named in honor of the matriarch of the legendary Kennedy political family. The park was created when an unsightly elevated highway through the center of the city was placed in a tunnel as part of the mammoth Big Dig project.
The Occupy Boston protest is one of the offshoots of the Occupy Wall Street protest that began in September in New York City. The loosely organized movement has recently begun drawing attention from Democrats and unions. Earlier Monday, hundreds of college students had marched through the city's streets in a show of support.
Occupy Boston describes itself as the "beginning of an ongoing discussion about reforming Wall Street and removing special interests from government" and it says it is just one of more than 120 encampments nationwide.

There have been a few eye-opening performances on this year's Road to the Kentucky Derby, including Cairo Prince's 5 3/4-length romp in the Grade II Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park in late January.
On a lesser scale, Bayern's 15-length runaway in an allowance race at Santa Anita Park last month was visually impressive, as was Social Inclusion's 10-length laugher over the comebacking Honor Code in a Gulfstream Park allowance on Wednesday. Social Inclusion, a colt that was on few Derby lists going in, covered the 1 1/16 miles in a track record 1:40.97.
You can bet the Pioneerof the Nile colt will be on a lot of experts' short lists now as his connections mull a start in the Florida Derby on March 29 or the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct on April 5 for the horse's next race.
But perhaps the most impressive Kentucky Derby prep was turned in by California Chrome, who barely took a deep breath while disposing of six rivals by 7 1/4 lengths in the Grade II San Felipe Stakes at Santa Anita last Saturday.
Despite setting rapid fractions of 23.09, 45.55 and 1:09.45 under Victor Espinoza, California Chrome had plenty left in the tank through the stretch to hold off Midnight Hawk while running the second fastest San Felipe ever. He covered the 1 1/16 miles in 1:40.59 — a few ticks slower than Consolidator's 1:40.11 in 2005.
Co-owner/breeder Perry Martin, wearing a Kentucky Derby cap in the winner's circle, was asked his thoughts when he saw the Lucky Pulpit colt's splits. "Keep going," he said.
California Chrome is a California-bred. A Cal-bred has not won the Kentucky Derby since Decidedly in 1962. California Chrome been training at Los Alamitos, known more for its quarter-horse racing than any standout thoroughbreds. The Kentucky pure breds will thumb their noses at this colt. Yet, barring bad luck, he's Derby bound. Trainer Art Sherman has a colt who has proven he can win on the lead or take back and close in the stretch if the pace is too quick. He's won his past three starts by a combined 19 lengths against both state breds and open company. He proved in the San Felipe that he's the real deal.
"I'll tell ya, he looked like Swaps," Sherman said of the Cal-bred he was associated with when that colt won the Kentucky Derby in 1955. "You think a horse might win by a length or two, but I'm not used to seeing them draw off by five and six.
"He's peaking at the right time. The horse has been super, he's putting on weight and he looked excellent in the paddock (Saturday). I thought, 'Wow, he looks like a race horse.'"
Enough so that he's displaced Cairo Prince as the No. 1 horse in our Kentucky Derby rankings with seven weeks to go before the Run for the Roses on May 3 at Churchill Downs.
Here's a capsule look at our other Derby contenders after Top Billing and Indianapolis fell out because of injuries or illness and were replaced by California Chrome and Social Inclusion:
2. Cairo Prince — The son of Pioneerof the Nile has trained up to the Florida Derby on works, skipping the Fountain of Youth because trainer Kiaran McLaughlin didn't want to do too much with the colt. "We're excited, and he's doing great," McLaughlin told kentuckyderby.com. "We're happy we passed on the Fountain of Youth and hope all goes well the next couple of weeks and we draw a good post in the Florida Derby." 3. Candy Boy — Trainer John Sadler elected to skip the San Felipe and train this Candy Ride colt into the Santa Anita Derby on April 5 with works. Kobe's Back, his stablemate who barely missed these rankings, is running Saturday in the Grade II Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park. The Rebel drew a strong field, including Tapiture, Strong Mandate and Hoppertunity. If all goes well, Kobe's Back is expected to remain in Hot Springs, Ark., and run in the Arkansas Derby on April 12
4. Strong Mandate — A runner-up finish in his 2014 debut in the Southwest Stakes last month did nothing to diminish this colt's Derby chances. He's got the perfect style to wind up in the winner's circle the first Saturday in May. That said, it's imperative the son of Tiznow take a step forward in the Rebel. A trainer never wants to see his Derby hopeful short circuit with so little time before the big race. Any hiccup at this point is cause for concern. 5. Social Inclusion The Pioneerof the Nile colt, trained by 85-year-old Manny Azpurua, wasn't a household name before annihilating Honor Code, but he's on everybody's radar now after improving to 2-0. He broke his maiden by 7 1/2 lengths on Feb. 22 at Gulfstream Park and the only question is whether he's the real deal or a product of Gulfstream's speed-favoring main track. He'll be bucking a hefty trend if he makes it to Churchill Downs. Apollo, back in 1882, is the only horse to win the Derby that didn't run as a 2-year-old.

Our Advent is only four weeks. There was once an Advent of some thousands of years—and it had no Christmas. From what time God called Abraham from Ur of the Chaldeans, his children were expectant of the Messiah, the "Anointed One," who should redeem Israel. Even before his time, as we turn back the pages of sacred history, we hear God Himself proclaiming the great historic Advent that was to be ended by the first Christmas Day. Yet for those who were most individually invited by God to prepare for His coming, there was no Christmas, after all their waiting, for "He came unto His own and His own received Him not." That Advent is yet unfinished—only it is no longer Advent, but the long-drawn days of a people's cheated hopes.
It was back in the Garden of Eden, just after Adam and Eve had thrown away a priceless heritage to grasp at forbidden fruit, that "they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in paradise at the afternoon air." The sin had just been committed, sanctifying grace and supernatural destiny had just been lost, God had just been defied. Yet, then and there, the Advent of the human race was begun, for "I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed; she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel." From that day on, down the long years of the patriarchs, across the rising and the falling waters of the deluge, amid the confusion of tongues at Babel, the day of liberation was awaited.
But the ways of men had corrupted, and the thought of an Advent tide began to be obscured. So God called Abraham from out of his country and made of his descendants the "chosen people" who were to proclaim to all mankind that they were carriers of the Divine revelation, that one day—and that not too far off—the Redeemer would come to free them from the bondage of sin.
Therein we have the story of the Old Testament—the story of a people's hope. Down in Egypt or lingering for forty years in the desert, living in the Promised Land from Dan to Bersabee or harassed in Babylonian captivity, the Jews never forgot that they were to number one day as their own the Messiah, Him that was to redeem the world. Patriarchs told their children and their children's children, as Jacob did, that in them "all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed"; prophets saw that day in vision, as did an Isaiah, a Micheas, and a Daniel, who counted the very years; kings sang loud of it, as did David on his exulting harp.
What happened to Israel is increasingly a danger even for those "awaiting the blessed hope," even for those who have learned that Christ is God and that the Church is His living, infallible mouthpiece. The call of the things of sense is blatant, from newspaper and billboard and splendidly planned window-display. Gift-giving and gift-receiving quite tax our every moment, and yet these may be present and there be no Christmas, and these may be absent and yet Christmas be most real. It is so easy these days to have Advent but no Christmas.
To have a real Christmas, a real birthday of Christ, there must echo not merely in our memories but in our actions that large refrain of Christmas-tide—Venite, Adoremus! "Come, let us adore." "For a Child is born to us and a Son is given to us." It is not enough that we grasp with the intellect that Christ was born on Christmas Day, but there must be the act of adoration in our wills and in our lives. "Two and two make four" is a truth that needs only mental assent, but "a Child is born to us" needs the consent of the will which means homage and service and the vitalizing presence of Christ in our lives.
This is the burden of the Church's liturgy from the First Sunday of Advent on. It is a crescendo of expectation that is not speculative, not sterile, but fruitful of increasing nearness to God. Read the Introits of the Masses. On the First Sunday of Advent there is a faraway hope: "To Thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul. In Thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed." That hope draws nearer, and the next Sunday's Mass opens with the words: "People of Sion, behold the Lord shall come to save the nations, and the Lord shall make the glory of His voice be heard in the joy of your heart." Then, as in mid-Lent with Laetare, so in mid-Advent the Church bids us on the Third Sunday: "Rejoice in the Lord always.... For the Lord is near. Be nothing solicitous; but in everything by prayer let your petitions be known to God." Across the Ember Days and on the Fourth Sunday the cry of increasing expectancy rings loud: "Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just; let the earth be opened, and bud forth a Saviour," until, in the tense Mass of Christmas Eve, our Holy Mother the Church breaks forth exultingly: "Today you shall know that the Lord will come and save us; and in the morning you shall see His glory."
Then in the morning His glory is seen, indeed, in the triple Mass of the day. "The Lord said to me: Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten Thee," and the eternal generation of the Second Person is remembered in the first Mass. This eternal generation is accomplished from eternity, beyond and without our aid. Then the page of the Missal is turned and the birth of Christ in time is told in the Introit of the second Mass: "Light shall shine upon us today, because the Lord is born for us, and He shall be called Wonderful, God, the Prince of peace, the Father of the world to come; and of His kingdom there shall be no end." That light, the light of the birth of Christ in time, has been upon the world these nineteen hundred years without the intervention of our help.
But the third Mass—the Mass of the birth of Christ in the hearts of men—brings down the feast into our own individual lives: "A Child is born to us, and a Son is given to us; and the government is on His shoulder; and His name shall be called the Angel of great counsel." That birth of Christ needs the cooperation of each individual. Each must make place in his heart for "the Angel of great counsel," that, as the coming of Christ at Bethlehem changed the course of human history, so by His coming into the hearts of all with His "great counsel," "the government" of each soul may be "on His shoulders," and Advent end with a real Christmas.

Hire Professional Residential Painters for Your Home
Whether you inherited your home or purchased it new, there will come a time where maintenance should be done not only to keep it in good condition, but also possibly to make it look fresher again. When it comes to making a property look new and fresh again, nothing beats getting a new paint job as a new paint will definitely and significantly change how a property looks. You can actually use different colors to give a newer appearance or simply use the old colors to make the property look new again. As the homeowner, it is up to you on what colors should be used on the repainting of your home.
There are actually a lot of properties that are looking old as their old paint has been weathered down by the elements. Keep in mind that it is not just the interior of the home that needs paint but also the exterior. The exterior is open to the elements so it is more likely to weather down first than the interior. If you want to keep the home looking all new from the outside, then a new exterior paintjob is important to give it that gleam that helps make it stand tall among the rest of the new homes.
If you want to have your home repainted, it's not a matter of trying to do the repainting by yourself, but it is a matter of choosing which professional painting company that you hire. For a proper paint job and best results possible, home painting should not be done as a DIY project but should be left to professional residential painters. These people know what they are doing and will do a much better job with the painting job that you hire them for.
There are actually a lot of painting companies that offer such painting services. There are those that cater to only small scale services and then there are those that cater to commercial scale services. Then there are also those who provide services on both small scale and large scale. The truth is that it does not matter what scale of work they do. What it important is that their price is decent and that they can do the job at hand with professional results.
Importance Of Basement Renovation
Why do people go for basement renovation? Most of the time, people who have their basement renovated are those that need the extra space. It is either they are welcoming a new member into the family or they simply want to improve their living space by adding a new room that everyone in the family can use. Normally, the basement is used for storage, but renovation turns it into the entertainment room, the family den or even the child's playroom. All these are options for basement renovation.
However, many are still wondering why they need to renovate their basement space. If they intend it only as storage, why would others think of it differently? If you are not convinced that your basement space is worth the improvement, then here are a few reasons why you should:
- A basement renovation is important because it allows people to realize that their basement can be more than just the storage space that it is. Although the basement is already useful as a storage space, it can be more than just that. It can be that space in the house where everyone can gather and watch a movie together.
- Basement renovation is important primarily because it allows the homeowner to improve their living space without spending too much. Adding a new room means double the amount you will spend if you just renovate your bathroom space. Would you spend more if you can choose to spend less and still have that extra room to use?
- A basement renovation allows you to check on the status of the various systems in the house. From the pipes of the water system to the pipes of the gas system and even the electric system, you can have all these checked to make sure they are in perfect shape. Since all of these are located at the basement of the house, you can have the expert check it as part of their regular home maintenance.
- More importantly, the value of the basement space is measured as to how much your home is worth after the renovation has been completed. You'd be surprised to know that after the renovation project has been completed, you can sell your home with a mark-up value of at least 30%. Who wouldn't want to earn as much just after the spending you did on the basement.

Markets keep rising after Dow hits record high
LONDON The Dow's new all-time high and better economic data from the United States propelled world markets Wednesday, with European stocks hitting a four-year high.
Investors are cheered by major central banks' commitments to keep supporting growth in the world biggest economies - the U.S., China, the 17-country eurozone, Japan and Britain.
That has helped them look past a budget impasse in Washington. Automatic government budget cuts took effect last week after President Barack Obama and Congress failed to reach a budget deal. The $85 billion in cuts are expected to hurt U.S. economic growth, but for now investors seem happy to buy further into the market rally.
European shares added to gains reaped a day earlier, when the Dow posted a new record. Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.1 percent to 6,439.54 while Germany's DAX advanced 1 percent to 7,950.84. France's CAC-40 added 0.3 percent to 3,798.65.
A broader measure of European stocks, the Stoxx Europe 600, rose to its highest level since June 2008.
Wall Street also showed no signs of slowing, with Dow Jones industrial futures rising 0.4 percent to 14,284 and the broader S&P 500 futures up 0.4 percent to 1,542.50.
Japan's benchmark index reached a multi-year closing high, capping a day of positive trade in Asia. The Nikkei 225 jumped 2.1 percent to close at 11,932.27, the highest finish since September 2008.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 1 percent to 22,777.84. South Korea's Kospi rose 0.2 percent to 2,020.74. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 advanced 0.8 percent to 5,116.80. Benchmarks in Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia and mainland China rose.
Ric Spooner, chief market analyst at CMC Markets, said the new highs reached on Wall Street provided a psychological boost to investors but that such gains can go into reverse pretty quickly.
"From the big picture point of view, there is a lot of risk in either direction for the stock market at the moment," he said. "But we could quite easily continue rising, given how low interest rates are."
Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke has recently suggested that the central bank would continue its campaign of massive bond-buying, known as "quantitative easing," to support the world's biggest economy. The issuance of bonds has pushed their prices down, steering investors toward stocks.
"The lesson is clear. Don't bet on Capitol Hill. Bet on Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke instead. To be sure, it was Bernanke's reassurance, as last week's congressional testimonies on monetary policy, to keep QE3 on its present course that turned a worried stock market into a record high," said analysts at DBS Bank Ltd. in Singapore.
Meanwhile, Japan's central bank is expected to sharply loosen its monetary policy to get the economy growth after two decades of stagnation. Chinese authorities have committed themselves to their economic growth target, while the European Central Bank is expected to leave interest rates at record lows for the foreseeable future.
In commodity markets, the benchmark oil contract for April delivery was down 26 cents to $90.56 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose 70 cents on Tuesday, hours after the death of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, whose country sits on the world's second-largest oil reserves, after Saudi Arabia.
In currencies, the euro shed 0.2 percent against the dollar, to $1.3030, while the dollar rose 0.1 percent against the Japanese yen, to 93.42 yen.

Welcome Back
For a few years now I have been considering starting an art journal. I am a big fan of Suzi Blu and her inspirational videos really made it look a lot of fun, I wanted to try but was afraid of 'doing it wrong'. Suzi Blu showed a trailer for Julie Prichard's Layer Love class and mentioned Julie's blog. After seeing more art journaling there and an advert for a new magazine that Julie was featured in by Somerset Studio called 'Art Journaling' I decided to take a look.
The magazine had been out for a while by the time I found it, but there was still a digital version available. Looking at the few pages offered as a taster of the magazine I decided to buy it. What can I say…OMG! This was a revelation, a publication full of amazing images of different styles of Journals and from many artists. The publication has advice on choosing pens, journals, glues etc. There are interviews with many artists and a whole host of links, to those artists websites and blogs.
Reading this issue got me off the fence and I started an art journal of my own, and it is just as much fun as people say it is. There is so much inspiration in that publication, all in one place together. I finally realised that like any other creative endeavour that there are as many different styles as there are artists. There is no wrong way, you journal in a way you like, it is your journal after all. There is a picture of a journal page on the top of page 29 that really called to me. I believe the work is by LK Ludwig. The image is of a man holding a birds wings, and the text below reads;
'He offers you wings and asks the question
Can you forget your fear of falling long enough to fly?'
That totally summed up my feelings towards art journaling, I did want to do it, I was just afraid of falling and getting it wrong. It was fear preventing me from starting a journal and after reading this magazine and visiting the wonderful websites of the artists featured, I was hooked.
Is Art Journaling Magazine for me?
Buy this magazine if you can say yes to the following;
You want to find out what art journaling is all about?
You want to find links to superb artists, for inspiration?
Although the physical issue 1 has sold out there is still a digital version available to download. Issue 2 came out 1st September 2009.
This has taken my creative journey to a whole new land of possibilities. It is one of the best presents you could buy for your creative side. Go check it out on the links below.
Art Journaling Issue 1 (Digital download)
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon

Lee Brice, 'Hard 2 Love' – Album Review
Lee Brice's new album 'Hard 2 Love' feels like a half thank you note, half apology to his soon-to-be wife and their son. Not all of the 13 cuts were written by the 'A Woman Like You' singer, but put into the context of what is going on in his life, many come across as extremely personal love letters.
Songs like 'Beer' and 'Parking Lot Party' add tempo to the project, but the best songs — the meat of the album — are the soulful and revealing ballads. Songs like the first single and 'See About a Girl' (co-writer by Kyle Jacobs and inspired by Kellie Pickler) are easy to fall into. They're sweet without being sappy or corny. Brice is at his best when he pushes a man's emotions to the limits of comfort in words he'd use to open up. He hits another home run on 'Don't Believe Everything You Think,' an uptempo love reminder that seems fit to be a single, but may have too much competition.
The end of 'See About a Girl' features a brief phone call with his fiancee Sara, a dangerous trick he repeats on 'One More Day' with his son Takoda. It's difficult to criticize a talented songwriter like Brice for making a song too personal, but by turning the story inward, he risks alienating an audience that regularly favors songs they can call their own. 'Seven Days a Thousand Times' is a dark and beautiful lyric — perhaps the most vivid and emotional story Brice has ever told — but it also remains inaccessible until one listens for the fifth or sixth time.
The real winners on 'Hard 2 Love' are those that trade in brushes of imagery for melody. In most cases these are ballads, like the tear-jerking, surefire single 'I Drive Your Truck' and 'Life Off My Years.' 'A Woman Like You' and 'Don't Believe Everything You Think' are the best uptempo examples of that perfect marriage.
'Hard 2 Love' isn't Lee Brice's 'Revolution' (Miranda Lambert's break-thru album) but it's quite possible his next one will be. It feels like the singer hasn't quite perfected the recipe for his brand and style. He's got all the right ingredients, he's just slightly off on the measurements.

- Iso Amino By Man Sports, Sweet Delish, 30 Servings
Iso Amino By Man Sports - 30 Servings - Sweet Delish - Amino Acids
What's In Man Sports Iso Amino?
Man Sports Iso Amino is Pure Isolated BCAAs. Fuel Your Athletic Performance. Man Sports Iso Amino packs 5 grams of pure isolated BCAAs per serving in a scientifically proven 2:1:1 ratio. No fluff, no fillers and no added colors or dyes. BCAAs are everything you need to rebuild, repair and trigger lean muscle growth.* MAN SPORTS ISO AMINO can be taken throughout the day and is especially useful intra-workout to speed recovery.
An Amino That Tastes Good?
It has nothing to do with science or efficacy -but It's important to enjoy what you spent your hard earned money on. We take flavor & mixability very seriously. This is where MAN Sports ISO AMINO stands as the clear leader. MAN Sports has made monumental advances in flavor systems to provide extremely unique, one-of-a-kind flavors. Try any of our unique flavors from Tigers Blood to Dorks, Sour Batch to Sweet Delish and you'll be hard pressed to find flavors that come close, supplement or not!
CLEAN – No Artificial Colors or Dyes:
MAN SPORTS ISO AMINO contains no artificial colors or dyes, almost mixes completely clear in water! This is something you want to sip all day!
Mixes Like Sugar In Water:
Mixability was of the utmost concern when creating MAN SPORTS ISO AMINO. There absolutely couldn't be those annoying "floaties". It needed to mix like sugar in water – and due to being high-grade instantized BCAAs, it does just that!
Bringing Old School Back:
Pure BCAAs are everything you need to rebuild, repair and trigger lean muscle growth. MAN SPORTS ISO AMINO is a throwback to the old school BCAA's that are just that, pure isolated BCAA's. No added marketing fluff, prop blends, or underdosed "everything & the kitchen-sink" formulas that only cushion the manufacturers wallet.
The Fat Burning, Muscle Building BCAA Ratio:
BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio have been clinically studied and PROVEN to effectively aid in muscle repair, growth, muscular energy and even fat loss. BCAA products with inflated ratios of 8:1:1 or even 10:1:1 show no added benefit over their 2:1:1 counterpart. So why the 2:1:1 ratio of BCAAs? Simple, "if it's not broke, don't fix it."
Baylor University Proves 2:1:1 Ratio:
Scientists from Baylor University gave college-age men either a leucine supplement, a BCAA supplement, or a placebo before and after a leg workout. They discovered that while leucine increased muscle protein synthesis after the workout better than the placebo did, the BCAAs increased protein synthesis even better than leucine and the placebo. That's a big reason to stick to a 2:1:1 ratio when it comes to BCAA supplements.

At various times over the last year (like, say, when she has insisted on being the one to move the clean utensils from the dishwasher to their drawer, only to drop all of them on the floor en route) I have referred to my daughter as The Unhelper. She is not quite three, and not quite as big a contributor to the orderliness and cleanliness of our household as her enthusiastic choruses of "I DID IT!!!" (and my equally excited responses of "WAY TO GO!!") throughout the day would suggest. But she is all about the trying, and I am all about the letting her. After all, what does having to rewash some utensils really matter if it means that in a few more seasons she'll be the flesh-and-blood form of the designated-dishwasher-unloader for which I've always longed?
Now is the prime time to channel her spirit of service, her passion for pitching in, her avidity for assisting me! Enter: the Melissa & Doug Magnetic Responsibility Chart. For everything from potty training to counting down the days until Christmas, we are all about charts.
The Melissa & Doug Responsibilty Chart comes with 25 preprinted responsibility magnets and 2 blank magnets on which custom responsibilities could be written with a dry erase marker.
It also comes with 63 smiley face reward magnets.
The upper magnetic board of the chart is sectioned off into a column with spaces for the chore magnets and separate columns for the days of the week, under which the idea is to collect a smiley face for each responsibility met each day. The lower magnetic board of the chart is a dry erase board that doubles as a place to store the extra smileys and responsibilities (unless you live with a toddler like mine who would take all the smileys to play in her room, never to be seen again—if you live with someone like that, I recommend storing the extras in a plastic baggie just out of reach). As with everything Melissa & Doug that we've ever played with, the quality of the materials used is excellent and the colors and graphics are very attractive to a toddler.
With a minimal amount of debate over which responsibility magnets to use for our first week (I just can't turn her loose on the glassware in the dishwasher yet, no matter how ready she insists she is), we easily found seven achievable, age-appropriate goals. Her favorite, because it has an ice cream cone on it: "say please and thank you." My favorite, because . . . well, for obvious reasons: "stop whining."
You'll note that our favorite magnets are not necessarily the things at which we excel. Yet. But we are SO rocking some of the others! Either that or she's done a little rearranging of the happy faces when she thought I wasn't looking.
. . . I see the seeds of life lessons taking root, lessons just as big as learning to get dressed and say "please" and to bathe and to put away the army of small toys that make barefoot navigation to her bedside at night rather hazardous. Lessons in things like recognizing a goal, doing the work to reach it, and being proud of having done it for herself.
And equally important: lessons in falling short of a goal, being disappointed when the reward isn't given anyway, realizing that moving a reward from another task only leaves a hole somewhere else, and resolving to keep trying to reach the goal.
We've had a lot of those "keep trying" talks, but seldom am I sure just how much is absorbed. Then, while we were out today, she asked me for the sippy cup I had forgotten at home. I told her that I had forgotten to bring it and that I was sorry. And then braced for the meltdown.
Only instead, from the backseat, just a sigh followed by: That's okay, Mama. You just have to keep trying.
I might not deserve a smiley face for "bring everything with you that your kid's going to need" today, but she's definitely getting the smiley for not whining. And I'm going to dry erase "cut your mother some slack" on one of the blank ones just so I can reward her for that today, too. She's totally earned it.

Children need them. We all form them constantly anew when circumstances change. They are a source of security and confidence in life. But we all want to escape them and be free – something we think we do in a controlled way in what we call holidays.
Where would we be without habits? At the mental level they give psychological stability (though often at the cost of feeling that we are trapped). Psychologically we repeat mental habits and patterns ad nauseam. We very rarely actually think because we are merely repeating old routines of emotional response dressed up as thought.
We identify ourselves - and our lifestyle - by the habits, whether they are good or bad, that make up each day Either way they give a false security because they are mechanical and so render us powerless to access the deeper sources of creativity and spontaneity. We admire and envy other people for their courage whenever they do something non-habitual. Even good habits need to be made conscious. We forget that we are as capable as anyone to live in the present moment and so transform mechanical habits into life-transforming rituals.
Habits are regulated, as organic rather than dehumanising mechanical patterns, simply by the degree to which we can live contemplatively – in the here and now. For John Main this means constantly taking the leap of faith, the "risk involved in all loving". Letting go, before we are sure what will happen.
Strangely, therefore, it is the good habit of meditation, morning and evening, which strengthens this capacity for radical (yet integral, non-extreme) living. In meditation we drink directly from the pure well of being, in the ever-present now.

The leaders of the Senate and House Agriculture Committees have sent a letter to the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction recommending a $23 billion cut to mandatory spending within the committees' jurisdiction.
For more, see $23 billion in agriculture program cuts?
Chairmen and ranking members issued the following joint statement: "Agriculture has a long legacy of bipartisanship and today the House and Senate Agriculture Committees are preserving that tradition. In the coming weeks, we will continue working with our House and Senate colleagues to provide the Joint Select Committee a detailed set of policy recommendations for achieving these important savings."
In the letter, the four -- Oklahoma Rep. Frank Lucas, Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson and Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts -- write: "As you know, the Agriculture Committees reauthorize most of the mandatory and discretionary spending programs in our jurisdiction every five years through omnibus legislation commonly known as the farm bill. The current farm bill expires in 2012, and the agriculture committees have been working diligently on the many important policies we consider in this reauthorization process.
"America's farmers and ranchers face a daunting challenge producing the food, fiber, and fuel for a rapidly growing global population. Farming and ranching are extremely high-risk undertakings – as clearly demonstrated by the devastating weather events across the nation this year. America's producers need tools to manage their risk in case of natural disasters and increasingly volatile prices; the farm bill provides those tools.
"But the farm bill has a much broader focus than only production agriculture. Conservation efforts in the farm bill ensure the long-term productivity of our soil, keep our waterways clean, and support the restoration of wildlife habitats across the country. Nutrition programs provide food for hungry children and are more important than ever for families who are struggling in these difficult economic times.
"Commodity program spending represents less than one quarter of one percent of the federal budget, and actual Commodity Title spending has been almost $25 billion below Congressional Budget Office projections at the time the 2002 and 2008 farm bills were passed. Crop insurance underwent $6 billion in reductions through the most recent renegotiation of the Standard Reinsurance Agreement, $6 billion in cuts in the last farm bill and $2 billion in the 2002 farm bill. This totals $14 billion since the passage of the Agriculture Risk Protection Act in 2000. Conservation has been cut by over $3 billion during the last five years. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) was cut by nearly $12 billion in the last Congress to offset other spending. In addition, there are also 37 programs, totaling nearly $10 billion, which expire and have no baseline into future years.
"We are currently finalizing the policies that would achieve $23 billion in deficit reduction and will provide a complete legislative package by November 1, 2011. Deficit savings at this level is more than any sequestration process would achieve and should absolve the programs in our jurisdiction from any further reductions. We welcome the opportunity to explain this recommendation and the forthcoming legislative proposal upon request from the Joint Committee."

OAKLEY — A man who was stabbed several times after a fight broke out in a popular restaurant on Super Bowl Sunday was in stable condition Tuesday and expected to be released from a hospital soon, police said.
Police responded about 11:45 p.m. Sunday to calls that several people were involved in a fight at Mike's Beef 'N' Brew at 2083 Main St., Oakley Police Chief Bani Kollo said. When police arrived, one man was bleeding from several stab wounds, at least one of which was to the stomach, Kollo said.
The man suspected in the stabbing was gone when police arrived, Kollo said. Police continue to investigate the case, but no arrests have been made, Kollo said.
An ambulance took the injured man to a hospital, where he underwent surgery to repair his wounds, Kollo said.
Police said it is unclear if the attack was gang-related or fueled by alcohol. Initial reports suggested the suspect also pulled out a gun, but police never found one, Kollo said.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Oakley police at 925-625-8855.

Annam1 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 163 designs submitted by 68 freelance designers.
The Patron Company, LLC doing business as Patron Store
The Patron Company based in Portland Oregon has developed an entirely new concept in E-Commerce. The company builds customized online direct-to-consumer retail stores for schools and other non-profit organizations, called "Patron Stores".
Patron Stores are complete 'turn-key' online retail operations totally managed by The Patron Company.
Schools and non-profit organizations are continually looking for innovative ways to improve their fundraising efforts. Every school or non-profit has a 'dedicated patron pool' with an allegiance and a commitment to support and sustain it. By shopping in their own dedicated Patron Store which is a fully functional and completely stocked retail operation, the patron pool helps to sustain their school or non-profit without any additional donations, fees, or premiums. Part of all revenue from sales is shared with the school or nonprofit. Patron Store merchandise is priced competitively with other online stores, so a patron does not pay a premium for shopping at their Patron Store.
It is similar to a school spirit store, only instead of just a spirit store, a Patron Store is a full range retail operation with thousands of products and services, which shares its income with the school or nonprofit.
Age group 30-55, our consumers are middle to upper class.
Keep in mind that we are customizing each store for the specific school or nonprofit and so every store looks somewhat different……however the entry link to each patron store, regardless of the customization, could be the logo. (In fact we want it to be the logo is possible).
So if the logo is universal enough, we would want to use it as the ubiquitous symbol on all school websites that provides the link entry to the 'Patron Store'. We would want the logo to be simple but useable. (Like many of the logos currently linked to various social networks or social buying sites etc.)
NO COLOR PREFERENCE. But we wish to stick with elegance... Logo design should be elegant and sophisticated with a modern twist. The logo may be distributed on hundreds of websites so it has to be classy, clever, and eye-catching.
Although the company is called The Patron Company we want to emphasize "Patron Store" in the logo since it is the Patron Store that will be on all the websites and we will be known for the "Stores" not the "company".
Our slogan is "Shop to Give"
So in summary, we are "Patron Store" (shop to give)
From a design perspective the emphasis should be on the "retail" part of the equation with a "nod" towards the fundraising aspects of the business model.
What we are interested in is finding a logo that is clever and says something about what we do……which is to provide a "shopping environment" a "retail store" but with a socially conscious message……"shop in your local school patron store and help support it…………..or shop in your local charity patron store and help support it"
We are completely open to every part of the design. This means color or colors, shape, or image. (Our current website uses a Kelly Green as its primary color but we don't want to limit any creativity so if you have a better idea or color combination feel free to use it.

A stay of proceedings is a ruling by the court in civil and criminal procedure, halting further legal process in a trial or other legal proceeding.[1] The court can subsequently lift the stay and resume proceedings based on events taking place after the stay is ordered. However, a stay is sometimes used as a device to postpone proceedings indefinitely.

United Kingdom[edit]
In civil procedure, stayed of proceedings are governed by the Civil Procedure Rules. In criminal trials, they are governed by the Prosecution of Offences Act 1985.[citation needed]
A court may issue a stay in a winding up upon the creation of an application for RIA Black TECHNO Black Joseph White RIA Joseph TECHNO qFw4P, an order being made against a false or mistaken institution, the petition debt being paid in full, the pertaining institution ceasing to exist, or the prior existence of a winding-up order.[2]
In bankruptcy, a case can be stayed if a certification for annulment exists or an Individual Voluntary Arrangement is being negotiated.[2]
Examples of staysDULCEY Element DULCEY DULCEY Beige Beige DULCEY Beige Element DULCEY Element Element Element Beige Beige [edit]
In R v. Crawley and others [2014] EWCA Crim 1028[3] a stay was given. As part of the Conservative government's fiscal austerity policy, the Ministry of Justice decided to cut the fees paid to barristers for Very High Cost Cases (VHCC) by 30% in November 2013. Due to the amount of papers involved this case was classed as a VHCC by the Legal Aid Authority (LAA) who pay the defendant's costs (as free representation (legal aid) is required under the ECHR). Barristers in protest of the cuts refused the instructions to act on behalf of the defendants at the reduced fees, so no suitably qualified barristers could be found to represent the defendants. As the defendants would not be able to have a fair trial without suitable representation (in breach of their right to a fair trial under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights) the case could not proceed and was stayed. An adjournment was found to be unlikely to resolve the case and excessive delay would contradict a further requirement of the ECHR (Article 6(1)) requiring timely handling of prosecution.
United States[editDULCEY DULCEY Element Beige DULCEY Element DULCEY Element Beige Beige Element DULCEY Beige Beige Element ]
According to the legal code, a stay of proceedings can be issued in a case "brought in any of the courts of the United States upon any issue referable to arbitration under an agreement in writing for such arbitration" when the ruling on the case is pending, can be stayed "until such arbitration has been had in accordance with the terms of the agreement, providing the applicant for the stay is not in default in proceeding with such arbitration".[4]

Last year I learnt:
1 Why people wear coloured socks. It's not, as I previously thought, because they are insufferable optimists, looking to display their sunny personality through their jazzy footwear. Rather, it is so they don't end up wearing odd socks (one black sock does look so much like the other one and yet they are alwas fundamentally different in size and texture). And there is something really massively unsatisfactory about wearing odd socks. So I now have a lot of very colourful socks, and always wear matching pairs, and very zen I feel about it, too.
2 I cannot control events with the power of my mind. When I went to see Dr O with my nervous breakdown, I explained to her that I feel very superstitious about my anxiety. "I believe that if I worry enough about something, then it will not happen," I said. Dr O looked at me. "So what you are telling me," she said, "is that you can control events just with the power of your mind?" "No!" I shrieked. "It's more complicated than that." But it wasn't. That is what I believed. I don't believe that any more, and I am much less anxious. But I worry that I am less interesting.
3 I am not good at being flexible. When Kitty was very tiny I lived my life and hers by the clock. I'm talking to the second. From the outside it probably looked really mad but I was terrific at it and it worked. I never had to fret over whether she was hungry or tired because she was never hungry or tired because she was fed before she was ravenous and in her cot before she was hysterical. But now Kitty is nearly one and she's more of a real person rather than a blob and some days, like the rest of us, she is more tired or more or less hungry than others. So now I have to do a thing where I have to make about a million little decisions, from day to day, about whether this is one of those days that she needs to go back to bed at 9.45am for a little kip, or whether she can make it until lunchtime. And just between you and me, I hate it.
4 Being a lazy shitbag is okay only for so long. I am a quitter, through and through. I hate making an effort at anything, it causes me genuine pain. I don't like doing exercise, or "sticking at" things. When I think about having to put my clothes away at night I want to cry, so I don't and they pile up on the chair next to my bed until on morning, usually on a Sunday, it even repulses me so much that I do something about it. But last year, I had to persevere at some stuff. I couldn't give Kitty up for adoption, because everyone would know what I'd done and be SO unsympathetic. And I had to keep wearing my stupid fucking teeth braces to correct my teeth because both my husband and my dentist, Handsome Richard, made such an almighty fuss about me giving up. But now Kitty is so much less of a hassle than she was and my teeth are near as damnit straight that I now, with great reluctanct, admit that perseverence might not just be for massive square martyrish losers after all.
And so it is with dinner. The past few months have seen me so incredibly uninspired about food in general and dinner that I am just doing the same old things over and over again. It was mostly because I couldn't be BOTHERED to think about it. I would mull over our dinner options for about three minutes and as soon as I had settled on an old favourite I would just go with that.
But on the way to the shops yesterday I really thought about it and came up with a couple of things we really haven't ever had before, or hadn't had in ages. They don't comply with my husband's usual cry for things to be purchased from the Ginger Pig, or to be carb-free, but there's no time for that kind of dicking about this year. We must have variety, and vegetables, or we will all go mad.
So I did a very obvious dinner thing last night that was nonetheless really nice. It was very lazy pub-starter stuff - just a slab of ready-made puff pastry flattened and goat's cheese and roasted tomatoes on top. But, you know, it was really terrific and terribly easy and I'll be doing it again. If I can be bothered.
Goat's cheese and roasted tomato tart
2 packs Capricorn goat's cheese
1 slab ready puff pastry (I get Waitrose own, which comes in two slabs. One of those, rolled out a bit, is enough for 2 people.)
1 string of baby tomatoes on the vine
1 egg
some mint, if you have
salt and pepper
semolina for dusting
1 Shove the tomatoes in the oven for an hour at 180 with olive oil and salt at some point during the day.
2 When ready for dinner roll out the puff pastry to a longer-ish oblong. Dust a baking sheet with semolina to stop the pastry from sticking. Beat an egg in a bowl and brush the pastry all over with about a third of the eggwash.
3 In a bowl combine the torn-up goat's cheese (rind on or off, it's up to you), the tomatoes, some mint, salt and pepper and the rest of the beaten egg. Then pile up in a fat straggly line along the centre of your oblong (as it cooks it will melt and spread out and you don't want it to slop over the edges of the pastry).
4 Shove in a 180 oven for about 20 minutes. We ate this with Polpo's courgette salad (also on this blog).
Yes yes I know a lot of you will be rolling your eyes at the obviousness of this, but as my husband always says "The perfect is the enemy of the good".

David Broder, 81, dies; set 'gold standard' for political journalism
Thursday, March 10, 2011; 12:39 AM
David S. Broder, 81, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for The Washington Post and one of the most respected writers on national politics for four decades, died Wednesday at Capital Hospice in Arlington of complications from diabetes.
Mr. Broder was often called the dean of the Washington press corps - a nickname he earned in his late 30s in part for the clarity of his political analysis and the influence he wielded as a perceptive thinker on political trends in his books, articles and television appearances.
In 1973, Mr. Broder and The Post each won Pulitzers for coverage of the Watergate scandal that led to President Richard M. Nixon's resignation. Mr. Broder's citation was for explaining the importance of the Watergate fallout in a clear, compelling way.
As passionate about baseball as he was about politics, he likened Nixon's political career to an often-traded pitcher who had "bounced around his league."
He covered every presidential convention since 1956 and was widely regarded as the political journalist with the best-informed contacts, from the lowliest precinct to the highest rungs of government.
Former Post executive editor Benjamin C. Bradlee called Mr. Broder "the best political correspondent in America. David knew politics from the back room up - the mechanics of politics, the county and state chairmen - whereas most Washington reporters knew it at the Washington level."
Mr. Broder was praised at the highest echelons of political power. The White House issued a statement from President Obama that called him a "true giant of journalism" and added that he "built a well-deserved reputation as the most respected and incisive political commentator of his generation."
Sen. Richard G. Lugar (R-Ind.) said in a statement, "In his thoughtful and probing questions based on decades of scholarship and on-the-scene observations, David Broder set the modern 'gold standard' for those of us engaged in political life as we sought to persuade others, to legislate and to administer the successful progress of our country."
Asking tough questions
Balding, sporting horn-rimmed glasses and measured in his speaking style, Mr. Broder was once likened to an MIT professor in appearance. He was a frequent and instantly recognizable panelist on TV news-discussion shows, a penetrating questioner who often put politicians on the spot and a clear-eyed analyst who could cut to the heart of an issue.
On "Meet the Press" in 1987, he probed whether then-Vice President George H.W. Bush, the GOP front-runner in the next year's White House race, was too much an Eastern patrician to understand average Americans.
Mr. Broder asked the candidate whether he knew how many Americans lacked health insurance and how many U.S. children were born into poverty.
Bush said he didn't know, adding: "We have the best medical-attention system in the world, and I don't want to see it go into the mode of England or this whole concept of socialized medicine where the government provides absolutely everything. You are going to break the government."

Bedourie, meaning 'dust storm', is a quaint little town with a population of 120 people. Perched on a sand dune and surrounded by Eyre Creek, it is the administrative centre of the huge 95,000 square kilometres of the Diamantina Shire – perfect for a one-of-a-kind getaway.
Did you know? In the 1880s, Bedourie was a major watering and rest stop for drovers moving cattle from the Northern Territory and northwest Queensland to the customs collection point in Birdsville, 200 kilometres south.
Bedourie is also home to the Bedourie Camp Oven. Borne of necessity under a tree in Bedourie during the 1920s by a tin smith, the Bedourie Camp Oven was constructed for the drovers and cameleers of the camel trains who were having problems with their outback cookware. The cast iron ovens they were carrying were cracking and breaking under the harsh conditions of the outback.
Over time the design for the oven was refined and was manufactured from spun steel with a tight fitting lid. In 1945, R.M. Williams began selling the ovens and in 1966, an R.M. Williams catalogue listed the Bedourie Camp Oven with heavy duty rolled edges for sale at two pounds, fifteen shillings (AUD5.50).
In 2001, the Australian Government recognised the origins of the Bedourie Camp Oven as 'Uniquely Australian' and noted its significance as an improvised oven used by the pioneers of the Queensland outback. In recognition of the iconic oven, a street in the ACT was named Bedourie Street in March 2001.
For a small community, the town has excellent facilities including a hotel/motel, two caravan parks, a restaurant and tavern, general store, wireless internet, fuel services, a police station, and a medical clinic. Everything you need is right there.
Must visit Town attractions include:
• The historic Mud Hut
• The cemetery
• The new artistic representation of a dust storm that stands on Herbert Street.
Attractions around Bedourie include:
• The Vaughan Johnson Lookout
• The renowned wetland of Cuttaburra Crossing
• Carcoory Ruins
• The Diamantina National Park – one of Australia's top ten National Parks.

Many homeowners wish that some of the rooms in their abodes were a bit larger, but there's only so much you can do about the amount of space in your house. That being said, it's important to know how to create interior designs that cater to areas with limited room.
Bringing in bulky furniture, dark discount window treatments and deep-colored carpeting can instantly make a small living space feel even more cramped. Here are some tips on how to create the illusion of more room in an area that could use some help.
1. Add more light.
As Freshome.com reports, rooms with a small amount of space can greatly benefit from more light. Natural light is the best option - consider bringing in custom window shades that allow sunlight to flow into the space throughout the day. When the sun sets, be sure you have plenty of lighting fixtures to keep the room bright and functional. This tactic is simplistic, but it works.
2. Use reflective surfaces.
If you don't have much natural light flowing into the room but you want to make it feel larger, you may want to consider bringing in more reflective surfaces, such as side tables with glossy or glass tops. Mirrors on your walls can also quickly make any space feel dramatically larger.
3. Opt for bright colors.
Dark hues might create a sense of coziness in a space, but they can also make a room feel smaller than it already is. To avoid doing this, use bright colors throughout your small area to create a sense of openness. Choose pastel hues for your furniture and wall paint to enhance the interior design. These three tips can be the difference between a confined room and one that welcomes you and your guests.

Chelsea are being linked with a move for Manchester City target Daniele De Rossi.
TalkSPORT claims the Blues are ready to 'usurp' the Citizens in the race for the Italian midfielder, with Jose Mourinho an admirer of the 29-year-old Italian international.
And, NBC Sport cite Italian reports when claiming that 'the special one' is ready to offer an opening bid in the region of €10million.
Roberto Mancini had been heavily linked with a move for the Roma star during his time at the Etihad Stadium, but Manuel Pellegrini has since replaced the Italian.
The change at the Manchester City helm has seen their interest subside in recent weeks, and the focus on De Rossi now comes from west London.
Chelsea will have also taken encouragement from recent comments confirming that De Rossi is available for transfer, with president James Pallotta saying 'everyone is on the market' last week.
"De Rossi? We'll see. Everybody is on the market, just as they are for the Boston Celtics," he told RAI television.
A one-club man to date, De Rossi has spent 13-years in the first team at the Stadio Olimpico. But, his time in Serie 'A' could be coming to an end, and it's Chelsea who are ahead of Manchester City in the race to bring him to the Premier League.
