Oxford, England (CNN) -- Singer-songwriter Annie Lennox proudly wears an "HIV Positive" black T-shirt, proclaiming her solidarity with the disease's victims, even though her status is HIV negative.
"I constantly want to bring attention to the issue," says Lennox. "This is my way of campaigning visually."
At the TED Global conference last month in Oxford, England, Lennox made clear in a talk and an interview with CNN.com that she is seriously committed to combating the spread of the disease.
She was inspired by Nelson Mandela's statement of support in 2003 for the effort to fight the virus by the 46664 Foundation, named after Mandela's number in prison.
South Africa was losing 1,000 people a day to AIDS, many of them women and children. Mandela compared the death toll to genocide.
"I'm a woman, and I'm a mother, I told myself that this is something that I have to talk about," Lennox said.
In her talk at the conference attended by about 700 people, she told the story of a seven-year-old girl in South Africa suffering from the disease and weighing about what a one-year-old child weighs.
After the girl was treated and put on a special diet by doctors, she recovered, looking like a child her age. "The hair on my arms is standing," Lennox, said as she showed before and after photos of the girl. "Isn't it extraordinary?"
An ambassador for U.N. AIDS, she said the organization is committed to ending mother-to-child transmission of HIV by 2015.
TED is a nonprofit organization that hosts conferences and makes talks available on its site, http://www.ted.com/. [CNN and TED have a partnership in which TEDTalks are published Tuesdays on CNN.com.]
The Scottish pop music artist gained fame performing with Dave Stewart as the Eurythmics and has gone on to a successful solo career and many music awards.
In 2007, Lennox organized a group of 23 female performers to make "Sing" as a benefit recording for the fight against HIV/AIDS. It has raised more than 100,000 pounds (about $159,000 U.S. dollars). Lennox was honored with the Services to Humanity Award in 2008 by the British Red Cross.
Lennox sees people in developed Western countries living in a bubble of great privilege where they have a responsibility to help those who are not as fortunate. She says she aims to use her skills and influence to help make that happen.
Ultimately, Lennox says, the fight against HIV/AIDS is not about charity but about securing human rights.

Health Pros and Cons of Sitting – The Huffington Post September 2012
We love to sit. We buy recliners for our homes, ergonomic chairs for the office and camp chairs for our kids' soccer games. Sitting feels good. The trouble arises when we sit too much. Humans evolved on the go. We aren't designed to sit eight, 10, 12 hours during the day. In fact, we evolved to be active during the day and rest at night, and many of our biological mechanisms are designed to support that lifestyle. So when we live contrary to our body's normal modes, there can be consequences. A number of recent studies have outlined these consequences in a big way. A study in England showed that office workers who sat more than five hours a day had higher body mass indexes (BMIs) and felt a loss of mental well-being. Even more alarming, a massive study of 220,000 people in Australia found that people who sat more than 11 hours a day had a 40 percent greater chance of dying in the following three years, compared to those who sat for under four hours a day.Read More

Balanced Scorecard was original planned by Dr. Kaplan and Norton in 1992 and has since evolved into a strategical readying borer. Many big corporations in circles the world have adoptive the Balanced Scorecard in its untouched ordered series commercial activity. Incidentally, Strategy Map is one of the tools nearly new within the idea of Balanced Scorecard.
Using Balanced Scorecard hypothesis is an powerful way to translate shareowner expectations into Key Performance Indicators for an supervision. This nonfictional prose writes about how to use a Strategy Map to retell an prospect from shareowner into a set of key Performance Indicators.
I am active to proportion beside you how I used Strategy Map to reiterate shareowner expectations into Key actions Indicators and to use them as a splasher for celebration observance and following of the company recitation for active entrepreneur, man of affairs or enforcement shareholders.Post ads:

What is a Strategy Map?
It is a procedure to repeat scheme into plan of action objectives in the 4 view of Balanced Scorecard. Each of these Strategic objectives are unavoidable to be inter-dependent with all remaining. To go forward the inter-dependency of respectively of these objectives, a ordinarily particular "cause and issue " relation was utilized to achieve it. A symptomless allied strategical objectives should be recovered aligned for a ubiquitous goal i.e. supportive all others to realize the shareholder's expectations. The 4 perspectives of Balanced Scorecard are explicit below:-
- Financial Perspective
- Customer Perspective
- Process Perspective
- Learning and Growth

It is performed more often than not as fragment of a Strategic Planning Process after a scheme is mechanized. Depending on the rate of your plan of action planning, is should be aerated as module of the Strategic Planning function.
Who should execute the Strategy Mapping?
Ideally, it should be performed by the one and the same set of inhabitants who did the Strategic Planning Process. However, whatever CEO squabble that since the Strategies are fixed, in that is no status for the CEO to be confused in sprouting the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) One of the reasons for such as a doings is logical because the CEO may just a goal for his strategies. Hence, to him, doing a Strategic Map to come together the KPI is an learned pe.
In conclusion, you have to distinct which alley you deprivation your unit to lug. If at all you impoverishment to progress the Key Performance Indicators based on the four perspectives, later you should swot how to accomplish the Strategy Map effectively. To help you next to the understanding, I am active to print my nonfiction " How to act a Strategy Map".

A young boy is hesitant to join in doing music class.
The hipster teacher (who sports an impressive mustache) grabs his guitar and begins to sing. Everyone perks up and is ready to move. Everyone, that is, except the one youngster who would rather sit and watch than sing and dance. He clutches his toy frog (and his mother) even tighter than before. The teacher belts out his repeating refrain: "That's all right, there's no rush. / Whenever you're ready, come play with us!" All kinds of music-class accoutrement are brought out: shakers, scarves, rhythm sticks, and instruments. With each one, the boy becomes more and more curious (and brave). Predictably, he ends up leaping in and never wanting to leave. Weinstone, the founder of Music for Aardvarks and Other Mammals—an interactive music class that began in New York City—certainly knows what makes a class tick (or rock). The children in the class are wonderfully diverse, though the protagonist is Caucasian, and Vogel either attended a music class or received copious notes because the mannerisms of the kids are spot-on. They chew on scarves, lose their instruments, kick their shoes across the room, and otherwise make mayhem. The rhymes can seem syrupy and simple, but listen to Weinstone sing the song (available for download from the publisher). It will become addictive.
Reassurance for wallflowers everywhere. (Picture book. 4-8)


text: "Necronomicon," "Book of Eibon" etc I am sorry to say, are all fictitious. Lovecraft invented the first, I the second. Howard, I believe, fathered the German work on the Nameless Cults. It is really too bad that they don't exist as objective, bonafide compilations of the elder and darker Lore! I have been trying to remedy this, in some small measure, by cooking up a whole chapter of Eibon. It is still unfinished, and I am now entitling it "The Coming of the White Worm." . . . This worm mentioned in Eibon is Rlim Shaikorth, and comes from beyond the pole on a strange, gigantic iceberg with a temperature of absolute zero.

While we strongly recommend that dogs live indoors, there's nothing wrong with giving Fido his own little pad to hang out in. If you want to get your pooch a doghouse, look for one with great insulating properties. Plastic ones may be cheapest, but they won't really keep your pup warm in winter or cool in summer. You'll also want to make sure your furry pal's home is raised up off the ground a bit , and that the door faces away from prevailing winds.
Fido's outdoor area should always provide him shelter, water, and entertainment. Limit your pet's outdoor time in bad weather, and never leave him outside too long.
If Fido likes digging, why not give him his own little sandbox? Bury some fun toys in it for your pooch to dig up. This is a great option if your four-legged pirate has been known to dig up your yard or flowerbeds. Your pup may have so much fun digging in his sandbox that he leaves the rest of the yard alone!
Toxic plants can be very, very dangerous for dogs. Learn to recognize some of the toxic plants that are native to your area. (Tip: check the ASPCA site here for a full list of safe and unsafe plants.) When planting things in your yard, always choose things that are safe for Fido. If you are concerned that your furry buddy will trample your garden, put in trails and walkways for him to run through, and then use borders to section off your plant beds.
Kiddie Pool
Does your canine pal love water? Why not get Fido a kiddie pool to splash around in? If you really want to make your pet's area look cute, look for a bone-shaped doggie pool, or a pet sprinkler attachment. We recommend adding a filter to your hose, especially if your lawn system uses reclaimed water.
Do you have questions or concerns about your dog's veterinary care needs? Call us, your Plano, TX animal clinic, anytime!

Mistress Dorothea apparently wrote, in an article that I never saw here:
>But "droit de seigneur" in the classic sense of "the lord has the right
>to go with the peasants' wives" ... never happened. It's a Renaissance
>tall tale, ...
This happens not to be the case. In summary, _jus_primae_noctis_ is
documented in customals in Normandy, Switzerland, Trentino, Catalonia,
Burgundy, and Auvergne (most quoted below). The custom was "sporatic",
however, and its incidence is greatly exaggerated. Also, it was not as
severe as is commonly thought: "the serf has always, at least from about
1170 onwards, the power of redemption".
With malice aforethought of copyright violation, I quote extensively
from Appendix 14 (pp. 464-469) of _The_Medieval_Village_, G. G. Coulton.
Dover Books, 1989, ISBN 0-486-26002-X. It is a reprint of the original
edition of 1925 published by Cambridge University Press, Cambridge,
England. This is a fine book, well worth the purchase. "_" denotes
italics. I sometimes use "'", "`", and ":" for accent marks.
The best discussion of this subject from the point of view of an
orthodox Roman Catholic is, so far as I know, the article by A. de
Barthe'lemy in the _Revue_des_questions_historiques_ (I, 1866, 95 ff.).
The author does not deny that, on certain manors, custom demanded a
fine from newly-married peasant couples as an alternative to the lord's
right of passing the first night with the bride. The most explicit
account is in a Be'arn customal of 1538. It runs:
"Art. 38. Item, in the village of Aas, there are 9 houses with their
appurtenances belonging to the said lordship [of Louvie] and affieffed
to the same. These houses, their inhabitants and their owners are and
were serfs, of such servitude that they cannot and may not quit the said
houses, but are bound and constrained to live and dwell there to do
their service and pay their dues. ... The inhabitants of these houses
are called and named, in an ancient term of the vulgar tongue, "the
Bragaris of Louvie." Art. 39. Item, when the inhabitants of these
houses marry, before they know their wives they are bound to present
them the first night to the lord of Louvie, to do with them according to
his pleasure, or else to pay him a certain tribute. Art. 40. Item,
they are bound to pay him a certain sum of money for each child that is
born to them; and, if the firstborn be a male, he is free provided that
it can be proved that he was begotten in the work of the said lord of
Louvie in the said first night of his pleasures aforesaid."
In the same year and province, the lord of Brizanos exacted a similar
tribute by way of redemption from a similar right. In 1419, we find a
Norman lord exacting the same, and another equally plain instance comes
from Drucat in 1507; finally, examples might be given from Germany.
These are irrecusable business documents, which both sides admit to be
genuine. Beyond this, we have the testimony of a poet not otherwise
favourable to the peasant, who accuses the monks of Mont-St-Michel of
taxing their serfs in redemption of this immoral right at the end of the
twelfth century; Nicholas Boyer makes similar assertions about "certain
nobles of Gascony" in the sixteenth; Hector Boyce, about the same time,
says the same about twelfth-century Scotland, and Montaigne, in his 22nd
_Essay_, alludes to it as a notorious fact. We know, however, that
Montaigne must be discounted; and certainly Boyce is not a good
authority for the conditions of four centuries before his own time.
We must remember that only a small proportion of the thousands of
medieval customaries have come down to us, and that a complete
collection would probably have provided many more instances than those
which can now be quoted. But, even so, there can be no doubt that the
_droit_de_seigneur_ has been grossly exaggerated by a good many
antiquaries and historians from the seventeenth century onwards, in
Roman Catholic as in Protestant countries. Even Ducange is here among
the exaggerators, and de Barthe'lemy's article has rendered a real
service to the public. He points out justly that our most irrecusable
witnesses testify to the abuse only as alternative; the serf has always,
at least from about 1170 onwards, the power of redemption. His farther
arguments are less convincing; but it is only fair to state them here.
He doubts whether the lord had ever a real customary right of dishonor,
redemption or no redemption. In his opinion, the whole story may be
explained by a canon of the 4th Council of Carthage, confirmed by a
capitulary of Charles the Great: "Let the husband and wife, when they
have received benediction from the priest, remain in virginity that
night by way of reverence for the said benediction." This prohibition,
like others of the kind, soon passed into a stage of redemption by
payment in money or in kind to the Church, and presently a similar right
of blackmail was "usurped by layfolk, after the analogy of tithes, which
had originally had a purely ecclesiastical character." Apart from this,
the lord naturally exacted a fine when the couple had omitted to get his
permission. From the later fifteenth century onwards, individual lords
were inclined to exagerate their feudal righs, and claimed to enforce
these marriage-fines by the most brutal sanctions. Such sanctions,
however, were simply a legal device to ensure payment of the fine; as
when, in 1337, a gambler at Orthez was compelled to sign a formal
abjuration before his lord, a notary, and a priest: "if he broke his
oath, he swore to pay a consiferable sum of money or to plunge from the
bridge of Orthez into the river." Thus far Barthe'lemy; but, from what
we know of early serfdom, and of the slavery from which in some cases it
had developed, it seems far more probable that these customs were
survivals of an abuse once literally enforced. Yet there seems no doubt
that, within the five centuries with which we are converned, no national
or provincial code of laws enforced it, and that, even in this form of a
legal threat, it existed only sporadically on certain manors. But, so
far, its existence is admitted by all who have troubled to look at the
actual evidence; and we cannot leave it altogether out of account in any
true survey of medieval peasant life.
I know of no authentic evidence for the _jus_primae_noctis_ in
England; but such a case as I have printed in Chapter XI (p. 123) shows
how easily an unscrupulous lord might have taken advantge of his
unquestioned constitutional rights, and refused marriage-licence to a
serf-girl whom he coveted for himself. Such possibilities must have
contributed to the result that "of all manorial exactations, the most
odious was incontestably the _merchetum_" (Vinogradoff, _Villainage_, p.
I subjoin farther evidence which has come to hand in the course of
preparing this volume for the press. The peasants of the Persen valley
in the Trentino entered a protest against certain new exactions on the
part of their lord; they complained of forced labour and of the
"fruictiones primae noctis de sponsalibus." This was apparently in the
twelfth century. (Footnote: F. Schneider, _Die_Entstehung_v._Burg_und_
_Landgemeinde_in_Italien, Berlin, 1924, p. 194; cf. p. 195, n. 1. I owe
this reference to Mr C. W. Previte' Orton, who tells me that he has met
with a similar case in Sardinia.) In Normandy, at Bourdet, in 1419, the
lord's customal makes this formal claim:
"I have a right to take from my men and others, when they marry on my
lands, 10 sols tournois and a joint of pork of the whole length from the
chine to the ear, and the tail frankly comprised in the said joint, with
a gallon of whatsoever drink is drunk at the wedding; and I may and
ought, if it please me, go and lie with the bride, in case her hisband
or some person on his account fail to pay to me or at my command one of
the things above rehearsed. (Delisle, p. 72.)"
On the manor of Maur or Mure, under the abbess of Zu:rich, the
customal of 1543 prescribes that, "whosoever here comes to holy
matrimony, he shall invite a baliff and his wife also ... and, when the
wedding-feast is over, then the bridegroom shall let the bailiff lie
with his wife the first night, or shall redeem her with five _batzen_
and fourpence." A similar custom obtained in 1538 on the manors of
Hirslanden and Stadelhofen, dependent upon some abbey in Zu:rich and
appently upon the same as Maur (_Weisthu:mer_, I, 43; IV, 321). On a
Burgundian manor, if a man in complete serfdom chose a wife outside the
manor, "il perd tout ce qu'il a, a` moins qu'il ne 'la me`ne ge'sir le
premier soir dessous son seigneur' " (Seignobos, p. 43). A judicial
sentence of Ferdinand V, dealing with the lords of Catalonia in 1486
has, among other articles: "We declare that the said lords may not take
as foster-nurses for their sons or other children the wives of the said
peasants, with or without indemnity, against the will of the said women;
again, they may not, on the first night after the peasant had taken a
wife, sleep with her, or, as a sign of lordship, when the woman is laid
in her bed, pass over the bed and over the said woman." Brutails (p.
193), while maintaining with great probability that this marks a dying
and exceptional abuse, rightly rejects Schmidt's attempts to explain it
away altogether. Montalembert recognized the realities which underlay
even the anti-clerical exaggerations of his day; ... Finally, Bishop
Fle'chier had no dount as to its sporatic survival even in the
seventeenth century. He writes (_Grands_Jours_d'Auvergne_, p. 157: ....
Chassin gives farther evidence, some of which seems valuable in spite
of his evident exaggerations (_Serfs_, pp. 50 ff.). And certainly the
marriage-restrictions suffered by the serfs under the abbey of
St-Claude, down to the very Revolution, are sufficiently scandalous to
corroborate the worse scandals of earlier times. ....

Subject: Italian Dowry Fund
Organization: Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY
Date: Sun, 7 Nov 93 15:57:15 EST
A couple weeks ago, I posted something about the dowry insurance offered
in Florence in the 15th century. Dorothea of Caer-Myrriden (sp?) asked me
if I got my facts straight on when the fund was unavailable. My answer is:
Yes -- and here's a brief recap and explanation:
The subject: The Monte delli doti (the dowry fund), started in Florence in
about 1424/24. Lasted 100 years (more or less) until the grand doge's
fiscal reforms of the 16th century.
What was it? sort of a cross between dowry insurance and municipal bonds.
The idea started when Florence was in a fiscal pickle and needed money.
They offered to parents of daughters a plan: Invest a sum with the Monte
delli doti (called the Monte for brevity), and in a fixed term (usualy 7.5
or 10 years), you'll get the interest -- usually 2-5 times that of the
original sum -- to be given to the husband of said daughter for her dowry.
This solved 2 problems: city cash flow, and rising dowries no parent short
of the doge could afford.
Terms? The money could not be withdrawn at any time for any reason until
the term was up. The money had to go to the lawful husband of the daughter
for whom the Monte account was created.
So: The daughter had to live to see the end of the term AND had to be
legally married (ie. in a consummated marriage) at the time of maturity.
If she did not marry by the end of the term, the Monte account could be
held and used at a later time. But the money could only be withdrawn and
given to her legal husband. This was NOT a money-market account for Dad.
If she died before marriage, the Monte account reverted to the City of
Florence -- original investment, interest and all.
If the girl entered a convent and took religious vows, the Monte account
reverted to the City of Florence -- original investment, interest and all.
In Florence at that time, many of the girls of marriageable age who
entered the convent were thought to be unmarriageable.
The article I got this information from was interesting, because it showed
that many of the families who got into the Monte during the first years
falsified their young daughters' ages. If they had a ten-year term and
their daughter was ten, it meant that she could not get the money -- and
thus secure a marriage contract -- until she was twenty; in most upper
class families in Florence, this was nigh onto spinsterhood (most women
married between 13 and 17). So when they registered with the Monte, they
pushed back daughters' ages a few years to get them to a "marriageable" age.
They found this out by comparing tax roll information (Florentine census)
with the Monte records. They were able to compare about 970 records this way.
If anyone's interested in reading the article I got this information from,
the author is Anthony Mohlo, and the article "Deception and Marriage
Strategy" is the first article in the Summer 1988 _Renaissance Quarterly_.

How very interesting. As you said, the City would _not_ pay a dowry
if the investor's daughter went into the convent. There was probably
some perfectly sound economic, not religious, reason.
There's a bit of dialogue from Fry's _The Lady's Not for Burning_
that seems to apply (quoted from memory, so don't nit-pick me):
"I am quite usual, with five elder sisters. My father thought
he'd never be able to find husbands for us all, so he decided to
simplify things by letting me marry God. He gave me to a convent."
"What kind of showing did he think he would make as God's father-
"He let his beard grow longer. But then he found that husbands fell
into my sisters' laps. So he stopped thinking of God as eligible--
no prospects, he thought. So he looked around and found me Humphrey
Devize. Do you think he'll do?"
"Probably. He isn't God, of course."

>Are you saying it didn't exist at all?
No. Few scholars of the topic will debate its existence in limited locales, usually in France, and as you say, usually for the excuse for levying a fine. Even that may be misunderstood. A recent query to the Medtextl listserv brought the following cite from Peter Binkley, which might help shed some light on the matter:
"See Alain Boureau, _Le droit de cuissage: La fabrication d'un mythe, XIIIe-XXe siecle_ (Paris: Albin Michel, 1995). It received a bravura review in the TLS , Oct. 6 1995, p.44, by Peter Linehan, who wrote: "[Boureau] is exigent in his taxonomy. Not any lordly lust will satisfy him. He will only consider cases of legal entitlement to a payment in lieu of ravishing a female feudal dependant on her wedding night. By that reckoning, all but five of the dossier's seventy-two "proofs" for the existence of the practice turn out either to be legendary or to involve a confusion with something entirely different, namely _merchet_, the payment made for "formarriage", when (in F.W. Maitland's words) "the girl married outside the vill", an event about as lubricious as a parish fete on a wet Saturday. And such is the virtuoso quality of the author's dismissal of the claims of the remainder that the reader is left regretting that there were not more of them deserving of his scalpel and his lancet." Although the myth is found as early as 1247, it flourished in the 16th century and especially around the time of the French Revolution."
The always reliable (in medievalist circles) Jim Marchand added, " According to the Book of Leinster, King Conchobar had the _jus primae noctis_ in his realm.". That must be one of the early medieva references cited by Brewer. It has also been noted that the motif appears in the epic of Gilgamesh.
In the particular case of "Braveheart", however, it seems quite easy to prove that Edward I never proclaimed it as law as a way to subjugate the Scots. Suffice it to say that it is not covered in Bracton, the most contemporary legal treatise in England, there is no mention of such a proclaimation by ANY historian of the period, there is no evidence, even allusory in any collection of legal documents dating from the reign of Edward I, and in fact, no one has yet provided even _one clear--or even unclear citation which could refer to the custom_ for England or Scotland in the period under discussion. And yes, I've looked--13th century English history is my primary field of study.
So, to wind this up....yes, the custom perhaps existed in a limited fashion in some areas of Europe, but certainly not to the extent believed in modern popular culture, and (so far) definitely not in England or Scotland during the time of Edward I. It is an exception, not a rule, in medieval law.

Actually Alban you are in error. Droit de seigneur is mentioned in the

that I learned in Hebrew school when we learned the book of Esther. We
also learned that it happened in later periods. It is supposedly one of
the reasons why Jews combined the two parts of the Jewish wedding ceremony

MAC Extra Dimension Extensions Summer 2017
MAC Cosmetics is adding new permanent shades of Extra Dimension Blush and Extra Dimension Skinfinish to its lineup! The MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish has been around in limited edition versions for a while, even included in the MAC x Mariah Carey collection. The new shades will be available online on MACCosmetics.com and in MAC Cosmetics stores, Nordstrom, Macy's, Bloomingdale's and Saks Fifth Avenue on April 6th 2017.
Skinfinish is an amazing product that really does highlight skin perfectly, making it appear to glow beautifully from within with a light application while giving skin a clear, smooth appearance. The new permanent status of the Skinfinish and Blush shades will prove highly beneficial especially since some of the best light reflecting shades and fan favorites (like Oh, Darling) are back permanently and a lot of MUAs and makeup lovers are happily prepping for the day the products officially go on sale.
The MAC Extra Dimensions extensions for summer 2017 are all about adding two products to the permanent offerings in multiple shades, and the collection also includes the perfect brush for each now-permanent product. The very specific formulations are designed to blend seamlessly smooth into skin so that wearing them is all about enhancement. The return of the bestselling shades is one of the better releases from MAC recently. Let's take a look!
MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish ($33.00)
All three Extra Dimension Skinfinish shades are going to be permanent options that offer a stunning shimmer and flawless appearance for you skin. The shades have fun names like Oh, Darling. The liquid-powder formula is good on all skin types and offers 10 hours of prismatic, nearly luminescent wear. The glow is natural enough not to appear shocking, but provides a youthful, awake glow that really helps to highlight your face perfectly.
• Oh, Darling – metallic gold
• Glow With It – soft peachy nude with multi-dimensional shimmer
• Superb – patina bronze
MAC Extra Dimension Blush ($28.00)
MAC is adding 10 shades of the Extra Dimension Blush to their permanent offerings. This is amazing as the colors range from a muted blue fuchsia to a pink tinted champagne color. With so many different shades, it should be easy to find more than one to complement the look you could be going for. Names like Hushed Tone, Sweets for My Sweet and Fairly Precious are odd descriptors that still seem to fit the shades beautifully, while still managing to be fun to say.
• Into the Pink – soft pastel pink
• Sweets for My Sweet – mid-tone yellow pink
• Rosy Cheeks – mid-tone muted blue fuchsia
• Hushed Tone – neutralized pink peach
• Just a Pinch – apricot
• Cheeky Bits – mid-tone pinky coral
• Wrapped Candy – plum
• Fairly Precious – light pinky champagne
• Telling Glow – bright coral
• Hard to Get – warm burgundy brown
MAC Makeup Brush
MAC is offering two different makeup brushes to the permanent lineup – one all over face brush and another specifically for your cheeks. This should be obvious but one – the Split Fibre Face brush is perfect for use with the Extra Dimension Skinfinish compact, and the other – the Split Fibre Cheek brush is ideal for use with the Extra Dimension blush.
• 127 Split Fibre Face ($35.00)
• 128 Split Fibre Cheek ($35.00)

Several hot topics are on the agenda of tomorrow's public Colorado Springs Utilities Board meeting. One deals with selling a portion of city-owned Utilities and the other concerns watering restrictions, which are inevitable due to persistent drought.
First, a study to examine the pluses and minuses of selling or leasing the power portions of Colorado Springs Utilities likely will be undertaken by NewGen Strategies, a consultant with offices in Denver and four other U.S. cities.
The Utilities Policy Advisory Committee interviewed two firms and is recommending NewGen be hired. The UPAC panel will brief the Springs Utilities Board, comprised of City Council, at its meeting tomorrow, which begins at 1 p.m. in the 5th floor of the south tower of the Plaza of the Rockies building downtown.
The UPAC item is slated for 2:15 p.m. Here's the memo outlining it:
UPAC will brief the Board at the February 20 meeting on selection of NewGen Strategies as our Project Management Support contractor. UPAC requests Board approval to proceed with negotiating a contract with NewGen Strategies.
UPAC will also brief status and projected timeline for preparation of Statement of Work and contract, in consultation with the City Attorney's office.
UPAC is studying the implications of selling or leasing Colorado Springs' power plants, transmission and/or distribution systems. The study, assigned to UPAC by the Utilities Board in August 2012, will include public input and is expected to be completed in 2013.
In January, UPAC evaluated two vendor submittals to the Request for Proposal (RFP) for project management support services. At the January 23 meeting, UPAC decided to invite both vendors to make presentations at the February 6th meeting. After the presentations and question and answer sessions with each vendor, UPAC selected NewGen Strategies as the vendor for project management support.
The board also will hear an explanation of the Water Shortage Ordinance, which Utilities officials are calling to be placed on the Feb. 26 City Council agenda for first reading. The ordinance would restrict outdoor watering to twice weekly and amend rates to urge conservation. The ordinance also carries penalties for violating the restrictions.
First offense: warning
Subsequent offenses: $300 to $600, depending on the stage of restrictions that have been imposed.
Two violations in the same year: $1,000.
Those fines will be added to the customer's water bill. Repeated offenses and unpaid charges can result in discontinued service, according to a presentation prepared for tomorrow's meeting.
Read the complete ordinance here by clicking on the Feb. 20 agenda and going to item 5C.
Discussion on this topic is scheduled to begin at 2:45 p.m., following by a presentation on expanding the city's community solar garden program at 3:15 p.m.

My goal is to achieve the following: 1) Give Xbox Live! highest priority 2) Give P2P (torrent) lowest priority 3) Leave the rest of the traffic untouched My question concerns the other devices on my network (routers 2 and 3, laptop, pc, ...). Do I need to create an entry in the Classification for each one of them, or only for the torrent box and the Xbox?

Female multiple orgasms, anyone? When you talk about the one advantage that women have over men when it comes to sex is probably the fact that they are physically capable of achieving toe-curling, mind-blowing orgasms not just once but twice, thrice or even four times. On average, it takes about 20 minutes for a woman to have an orgasm while men experience it only a fraction of the time: two to five minutes at best. Just imagine how prolonged your sexual pleasures will be if you manage to have female multiple orgasms during the nights that you will spend in bed with your significant other!
Steps on How to Have Female Multiple Orgasms
Now, the question is: are there steps that you can actually follow in order to have multiple orgasms? The answer is a resounding yes. Here, we will take a look at a few steps that you can follow in order to have multiple orgasms:
Nothing kills the mood more than a brightly lit room with bland décor – or a room supposedly set for seduction but with loud rock music blaring in the background. Clue your partner in on the fact that you would like to enjoy an entire night of fun rediscovering each other's pleasures, and make sure to set the right mood for it.
Don't be embarrassed to set the scene by using candles, or even flower petals if you're feeling a bit romantic. Those who are into BDSM can even add some naughty props like ticklers, blindfolds and a pair of feathered handcuffs.
One of the most common mistakes that women make which is also the reason why they fail to reach multiple orgasms is not experimenting with what they like in the first place. If you want to experience one earth-shattering climax after another, know what turns you on by experimenting while you're flying solo.
Using a sex toy, you can discover the pace that you like best, as well as the most sensitive parts of your nether regions which can bring you to one sexual peak after another. By familiarizing yourself with your sexual needs, you can go after what you want and work on reaching multiple orgasms with the help of your partner.
This is yet another mistake that most couples make: not indulging in enough foreplay and getting right in on the main event. If you want to prep yourself up to having multiple orgasms, you should make sure to extend the foreplay. It's perfectly normal to get a head start and already reach one or two orgasms before having your partner join you in penetrative sex.
One of the best ways to extend his sexual pleasure and your own is by holding the position that you have when you first reached your sexual climax. For example, if your knees are locked behind his back when you first peaked, you can hold the position and continue moving your hips to the rhythm that you were following earlier even after your partner has already climaxed. This way, you will have more than one orgasm during penetration. Just let your mind and body go and wait for the sensations to flood you one, two or even three times more.
By following these tips on how to experience multiple female orgasms, you will wonder why you didn't start enjoying double, triple or quadruple the pleasures earlier on in your sex life!

Aha, so i said i'd get back, here i am. I worked pretty much already today and i took a break to take the pictures i told you about. So here are the latest 4 LOs i did on sunday. They are all for Dana's wedding albums (told you that she wanted me to make 2, 1 album for every pair of parents, so this is why you will see doubles ;)).
With this first one im also taking part in the current Sketch Thursdays challenge:
The title means "At the palace":
The pictures are so wonderful and full of intricate and elegant details, that i thought i should not use to many embellishments. The pictures are taken in the Oltenia Art Museum from Craiova, Romania, and here are 2 pictures of it:Inside:
And here is the other LO i made, with the same pictures:
And these last 2 were meant to enter a challenge, but i forgot that february is shorter than the other months, so i forgot to submit them :)):
Hope you like them :).
Now i will go make something to eat, then maybe watch some movie with my beloved husband and then work again ;).
Have a wonderful afternoon and rest of the week :)!
