Since even before Rima Fakih was crowned Miss USA, conservative blogger Debbie Schlussel has been claiming Fakih's family includes top leaders of Hezbollah. After Fakih won, Schlussel decried her victory as a "sad day for the politically correct, Islamo-pandering climate in which we're mired" and called Donald Trump a "dhimmi" for handing her the crown.
Controversy has swirled around Fakih's Miss USA crowning, in part because of Schlussel's comments about her--more so, however, because of photos taken of Fakih posing with (on? around? near?) a stripper pole, and suppositions that her victory had something to do with Miss Oklahoma's constitutional interpretation of Arizona's immigration law.
Today, Fakih responded to the Hezbollah talk in an appearance on MSNBC.
"It's very hurtful. I would say it's very hurtful, and it's absolutely false," Fakih said when asked by host Tamryn Hall about the suggestions of Hezbollah association. Fakih pointed out that "it's just one person"--i.e., Schlussel--who is making them.
"She is someone said to be very racist and controversial," Fakih said.
"I was first asked about it, and I said, 'Come on man, I'm in a bikini, I would probably be arrested for this,'" Fakih said.
Coincidentally, that's not the first I've heard of that last point. Talking about Schlussel's accusations on the phone with a Tea Party organizer a few days ago, the activist pointed out that Hezbollah would probably frown on the swimsuit competition, not to mention stripper poles.

Jules Chevalier was a 'Man with a Mission' and he also wanted his followers to be likewise men and women with a mission, missionaries.
As Bishop Cuskelly points out in his study of the Founder, "Man with a Mission", one cannot really understand Jules Chevalier without understanding how central the idea of 'mission' was to his vision. He focused this vision in the motto he gave to his Congregation: May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be everywhere loved!
But what did 'mission' mean for him? The answer was to be found in the Heart of Jesus. He did not start with the question "Where are we sent?" or "To whom are we sent?" or "For what are we sent?" Important as such questions may be and as much as they did concern him, his fundamental question remained: "By whom are we sent?" At the origin of his charism is an experience, a profound experience, the fruit of study, prayer, reflection and contemplation. For him the words of Jesus were intensely personal: "As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you" (John 20, 21 – see also 17, 18). Father Chevalier was profoundly moved by the Gospel of John, the Gospel of the Word made flesh. God so loved the world that he sent his Only Son and now the Son sends us, the Son who is closest to the Father's Heart and who has made the love of the Father known (see 1, 18). Jules Chevalier felt compelled to share, with the whole world, the beauty of what God reveals in the Heart of the Word made flesh. He believed that the 'language of the heart' was the best way to present the fullness of the mystery of the Incarnation, with all the implications and consequences this has for the world.
Jules Chevalier was deeply impressed and inspired by another aspect of John's Gospel: the message of union with the Lord, as branches with the vine (John 15). It is in this union that we are called to continue the 'language of the heart'. As he wrote in his study on the Sacred Heart of Jesus:
That describes our personal union with Jesus; it surpasses all imagination. Let us say it once again: we are not talking about some simple union of being alike; it is rather a deep and mysterious union of life: Jesus is the vine and we are the branches; branches and vine constitute the plant, in the same way Christ is formed by Jesus and us.
Jules Chevalier had an apocalyptic vision of a new world emerging from the Heart of the Incarnate Word pierced on Calvary – this new world was the Church, the new creation.This 'new world' would overcome the indifference and selfishness of the world he knew, the world of what he called the 'mal moderne', the failures of his time: atheism, materialism, rationalism, liberalism. He found the remedy in the Heart of Christ, God's Word Incarnate. He was aware that in St John's Gospel Jesus is referred to on some forty occasions as the 'one sent by the Father'. Jesus was the first missionary of his own Heart; Jesus defined himself as the one who has been sent. Today he continues to call others to the same mission.
The conviction that the Lord calls me is central to the life of the missionary – God calls me personally and entrusts me with a mission. "As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you." The awareness of being sent, the strong conviction that he had a mission to carry out characterized the life of Jules Chevalier. Without this awareness it is impossible to understand his life or his charism as a founder, his aspirations and ambitions, his courage in the face of great difficulties. He was a man with a mission, with sense of 'mission without limits'. He expressed this in his motto: ubique, 'everywhere'.
This sense of mission which he bequeathed to his followers has at least four dimensions:
1. He always insisted that his MSC Society must remain open to all kinds of ministries and missions in the Church. "
To obtain that end – May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be everywhere loved! – the Society accepts every kind of ministry which the Church may offer, none excepted".
This was the attitude that led him, despite strong opposition, to accept the challenge of the mission to Micronesia and Melanesia in 1881. For Jules Chevalier our identity was not to be found in a particular kind of work, but in our spirituality, a spirituality that inspires us in our mission. And our mission is to continue the mission of Christ: according to his Heart, following the way of the Heart.
2. For Jules Chevalier the emphasis was always on ubique, 'everywhere'. The missio ad gentes (the 'foreign' missions) had a powerful attraction for him.
"Our missions abroad and among unbelievers are of great importance. They are the purest glory of an Institute". Despite the great changes in ecclesiology and missiology this remains the great work of the congregation today: in the developing Churches, among the new 'gentes', the marginalized, the refugees, the voiceless in a globalized world. "We will become all things to all people, by respecting different cultures ... " (MSC Constitutions n. 24).
3. Jules Chevalier wanted to proclaim and continue the mission of Christ in all its dimensions, in its full richness; he did not want to limit it. It is opposed to his spirit to reduce our mission to a social or political mission only – the Lord's mission is much richer, it has a transcendent dimension. However, at the same time, it would also be against the spirit and ideal of the Founder to spiritualize our mission and stress only its transcendent dimension. Chevalier was open to the problems of his time, to the real difficulties of people; open also to new possibilities (particularly for the laity) and to the concrete challenges of his day. He was convinced that you cannot preach the Gospel without taking seriously its social and human consequences. His dream remains for us an invitation to avoid polarization or the negative categorization of people and situations: Good News for all, without discrimination; Good News everywhere, for the whole person. Jules Chevalier would have been open to Pope Paul VI's emphasis on the centrality of dialogue and adaptation in the missionary endeavour of the Church.
4. Finally his 'mission without limits' embraced everyone: laity, priests, religious – everyone. He dreamt of a mission of cooperation in which everyone could be animated by the wealth and strength of a common spirituality.

Paper lions taped up around campus wear the names of new students and colorful hand painted banners welcome the freshmen class. JSerra's halls are bustling and the gym is loud and rowdy with new faces being introduced into the Lion family.
The class of 2016 turned out for freshman orientation with just days before the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year. As expected, they come with a lot of questions and a little bit of nervousness, but JSerra's newly formed student group, Link Crew is helping to rid them of their butterflies.
"Our main goal is to make sure Link kids help freshmen adapt well," said Andrew Lee, a senior exchange student at JSerra and a Link Crew leader. "We want to help them be more comfortable in a new place."
This is the first year for the Link Crew, a student group that is helping make Freshman Orientation run smoothly. Upperclassmen have volunteered their time to link-up with new students and make the freshmen class feel welcome.
Peggy Palsgaard, a Junior said she remembers being a Freshman at JSerra.
"A lot of us didn't have a lot of friends our Freshman year," she recalled.
That's exactly why she is a part of Link Crew, to be a friend to the incoming class.
"Some of them are a little shy," Peggy said. "I think they are happy people are interested in helping them."
New JSerra Lions like Ethan Worden say they are looking forward to what's to come for the school year. Ethan will be a kicker for the freshman football team, but it's more than the field he's enthusiastic about. "The academics, it's a great school and there's good people," he says.
"I'm excited about meeting new people," said Freshman Kelly Tordone. Kelly is a new member of the pep squad and is looking forward to trying new things. "I'm excited to Spanish 1, because I've never done it before!"
It's not just the Link Group that is doing their part to welcome, the Freshman Parent's Coffee was planned by the JSerra Parents Association (JSPA) to make new parents feel at home as well.
Parents of upperclassmen shared their experiences with the parents of the class of 2016 in the hope of introducing them to the JSerra community and also getting them involved.
Stacy von der Linden, treasurer for the JSPA, said her hope for the new parents is unity and "for people to feel part of the school and to feel welcomed."
All of their effort is working.
Nancy Brady a new JSerra mom. Her son Nick is about to join the JSerra family as a Freshman and he is bringing about a first to the high school.
"Nick is unique," she explains. Her son Nick has Autism and is the first student to have an aid at the school. Mrs. Brady said, she feels welcomed by teachers, staff, and parents. "We are thankful to the community to be included. It's really all about family."
Welcome to the students and parents of the Class of 2016!

On July 8, Torchwood will premiere on Starz in the U.S. This time around it's called Torchwood: Miracle Day and today we got a teaser:
It's just enough to make you wish July was here already, and that you subscribed to Starz.
Here is the official synopsis of the season:
One day, nobody dies. All across the world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next, and the next, people keep aging — they get hurt and sick — but they never die. The result: a population boom, overnight.
With all the extra people, resources are finite. It's said that in four month's time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can't be a natural event – someone's got to be behind it. It's a race against time as C.I.A. agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy. The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex keeps asking "What is Torchwood?", he's drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means to be human, forever.
"Torchwood," premiering July 8, stars John Barrowman ("Torchwood", "Desperate Housewives") as Captain Jack Harkness, Eve Myles ("Torchwood", "Little Dorrit") as Gwen Cooper, Mekhi Phifer ("ER", "Lie to Me") as Rex Matheson and Bill Pullman (While You Were Sleeping, Independence Day) as Oswald Danes.
What say you?

Spoiled or Tortured?
Today's lunch... roma tomatoes, cucumbers, and sprouts... rolled up in tortillas smeared with cream cheese. Are my kiddos spoiled or tortured? You decide.
Seriously now - I love sprouts. I made stir fry a few weeks ago and bought a pack of mung bean sprouts for about $5. They weren't that fresh either (you know when they're kinda slimy and getting gross)... I love sprouts. Sprouts of all kinds... on my salads, my sandwiches, in my egg roll, in my stir fry....
So I thought back to my childhood - specifically a second grade science experiment... sprouts in a jar. Why not? It's easy. It's fast.
I like to support small business, but I'm also kinda cheap and like free shipping. I looked around and then found something great on Amazon. The Sprout House sells on Amazon and it's Prime too!! I picked up a 1 lb jar of a wonderful mix (in the photo) of alfalfa, clover, broccoli, and radish sprout seeds and I picked up a 1 lbs jar of mung bean sprouting seeds.
Take a large mason jar - I used a ginormous pickle jar (it's about 2 quarts) - add your seeds - a little goes a LONG way. I used 2 TBS of seeds and it makes a whole lot, as you can see. Soak them overnight in warm water. Drain in the morning - use a cheese cloth over the top as your strainer to keep the seeds in jar and protect them from any fun bugs in your house (our house is still in the midst of a lady bug invasion). Put the jar away from sunlight - I just put mine in the deep corner of the counter, under the upper cabinets. Rinse the seeds morning and night and watch them grow!!
Now, back to the kids... I think it's a combination of both. O loves the "little crunchies," Iz is indifferent, and little Juju just hurls them at the wall (but he does that with a LOT of things).

For over 50 years in the region of 4,000 children, young people, and families have benefited annually from the ministry of Scripture Union Ireland. Many people's lives and faith have been positively influenced and shaped through experiences on camps and from retreats in schools. Many children and young people have developed positive relationships, grown in their Christian faith and have returned as team members and leaders of our activities. We want to see this kind of impact continue for a long time to come and ensure that more and more children and young people throughout Ireland have the opportunity to experience God and to encounter Him in the Scriptures.
Scripture Union is an interdenominational Christian movement. It is a non-profit organisation and a registered Irish Charity (RCN 20204664). While an autonomous movement we are privilege to also be part of an international organisation with a significant history in evangelisation amongst children and young people, creating lifelong disciples, developing leadership skills for life, and of course encouraging people of all ages to meet God through bible reading and prayer . As we work out these principles we seek to do so in partnership with all Christian denominations, churches and parishes as we engage in the following activities:
- Residential Retreats, Camps & Outdoor Pursuits
- Holiday activities
- School Retreats in Secondary Schools
- Developing and supporting faith formation initiatives in Parishes and Primary Schools
- Distribution of Scripture-based resources for Schools, Churches, Children and Youth Ministries.
- Training and Development
In accordance with our basis of faith we seek to promote Christian character and values and encourage a healthy lifestyle through participation in our activities. Our hope is that all who participate in our activities will grow in their Christian faith and so become committed church members and servants to a world in need. Our key resources are a small number of dedicated staff and a large number of equally committed volunteers from many different Christian backgrounds. The organisation is directed by a Governing Council and led on a day-to-day basis by the current General Director, Jim Donnan.
Scriptural, Relational, Collaborative, Relevant and Quality
Scripture Union is an organisation comprising individuals from a wide range of Christian backgrounds, both staff and volunteers, but who hold to common understandings and beliefs about faith, the importance of frequent reading of the Scriptures with Prayer, and ways of interacting with children, young people, their families, the church, and other organisations. As part of the worldwide family of movements and a group of individuals we choose to uphold the International Aims, Beliefs and Working Principles of Scripture Union. However our values are an Irish expression of these, and define our uniqueness. The practice of our ministry is influenced by these values and the culture and context in which we operate. The Scripture Union ethos can be summarised in the following words and value statements:
SCRIPTURAL: We are advocates for Biblical understanding and accept its teaching and guiding principles, which when prayerfully enacted, are inherent in all we plan and do. A developed and mature Christian faith requires knowledge of the scriptures. We are therefore committed to helping people open and engage with the Scriptures for themselves in life changing ways, appropriate to age and context.
RELATIONAL: As God loves people, so shall we, building relationships that are more than superficial as the starting place for sharing faith. We want faith to be discovered in the context of caring relationships. We are concerned about the pastoral care and development of our staff and volunteers, who are a part of the Scripture Union family worldwide. We value the whole person made in the image of God – spiritual, physical, emotional, social, mental, without prejudice to race, age, and social class or denominational background. We operate in a spirit of respect for all churches and fellowships. We place great importance on parents as the first teachers of the faith and fully respect that role in our evangelisation with children and youth.
COLLABORATIVE: We work to build a partnership between a small number of staff and a much larger number of volunteers. We are committed to and dependent on equipping and enabling people across all the denominations to do what God has called them to do. We therefore strive to work in partnership with churches and parishes and other Christian agencies. With do this in a spirit of service and support and demonstrating good practice and by training volunteers into effective servant leaders for ministry to children and young people. A good example of this intentional collaboration has been the Luke the Book Project in partnership with the National Bible Society of Ireland. Some 140,000 primary aged children received copies of this colourful and engaging CEV version of Luke's Gospel. A DVD version with animated lessons was subsequently produced. In partnership with the Catholic Diocese of Dublin during the Year of Evangelisation in 2010 some 20,000 copies were produced and distributed free to children in parishes.
RELEVANT: We work to impact children and young people in the context of the Irish culture with the gospel in ways that are transformative and respectful, always acknowledging our dependence on God and prayer for the gifts to engage in mission. We seek especially through our school retreats and ministry to share the Christian faith in contemporary ways that are relevant to the needs of young people.
QUALITY: We strive for the highest standards and effectiveness in our evangelisation, equipping, publicity, and administration. Our staff are encouraged to continue their personal development and learning while exploring current issues and trends in society, while nurturing a sense of adventure that enables all round growth. Reflecting the attitude of Christ is always our goal.
1867 Josiah Spiers started "Special Services" for children in Islington, London. "Special Services" had an informal, friendly atmosphere, lively chorus singing and exciting talks with visual aids. This was a completely new approach to work with children. This idea grew rapidly to become the Children's Special Service Mission (or C.S.S.M.). While on summer holiday at Llandudno beach, North Wales, Josiah drew the Bible text: "GOD IS LOVE" in the sand for children to decorate. The enthusiastic response of the children started the first of many missions to children and families.
1879 The first an annual card of daily Bible readings was published for children. On April 1, the Scripture Union was launched to encourage children, and later adults, to read the Bible daily. This has been called "the best thing to happen on April Fools' Day!" The idea spread very rapidly. Ten years later there were 470,000 cards printed in 28 languages in many different countries. Later the name Scripture Union (S.U.) was adopted for the whole organisation.
1896 Greystones, Co Wicklow Ireland, where the Irish ministry of Scripture Union was born – then known as the Greystones CSSM it became an annual event, continuing to the present time. Some 400 children, young people and families from the local area and beyond attend this mission.
Late 1960's/70's interest in Scripture Union work had grown significantly resulting in the London Council of Scripture Union forming an Advisory Committee (1970) to oversee the work.
Then in 1972 this Committee was encouraged during a visit of Mr Nigel Sylvester, General Director of SU England and Wales, with a vision of a full time staff worker.
1976 Kingsley Prescott was appointed as the first paid 'Travelling Secretary' and pioneered the work of the movement.
1978 Ovoca Manor in Avoca, Co Wicklow was acquired in trust for the sum of £1 to be developed as a Christian Adventure centre under the terms that it should be used 'for the spiritual and moral development of young people'.
1980 May 9th, Scripture Union Republic of Ireland was established as an autonomous movement by agreement with the British and Irish Regional Council.
1981 Scripture Union book centre at Northumberland Avenue, Dun Laoghaire, was opened.
1985 The appointment of the first schools worker signalled the exciting work in secondary schools around Ireland.
1988 A full retail Bookshop is established at 87 Lr. Georges St., Dun Laoghaire.
1991 A further retail outlet at 40/41 Talbot St, Dublin is opened.
2006 Scripture Union Ireland goes online with our first web presence and online Camp Booking.
2008 A Bookshop is opened in Cork City. Scripture Union provides financial support.
2010 Our first full-time Primary School's Worker is appointed.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease. This means that the immune system (which normally protects the body from infections) mistakenly attacks healthy cells. This can cause inflammation, swelling, pain, and damage.
There are different kinds of lupus. The most common type is Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). SLE can affect parts of the body including skin, joints and/or organs. Symptoms vary, and early symptoms can include fatigue, joint pain, fever, and a lupus rash, especially after being in the sun.
Clinical research is growing our understanding of lupus and how to treat it. Read on to learn more.
Thank you for sharing with us.
There is no single test for lupus. Because lupus affects different people in different ways, it can be difficult to diagnose. Instead, doctors use a combination of person's medical history of symptoms, physical exam findings, laboratory tests, and skin biopsies to make a diagnosis. Lupus is not contagious, but it does have a hereditary component, so family health information is important. Because the symptoms of lupus come and go over time, diagnosing lupus can be a slow and frustrating process.
No one knows what causes lupus. Scientists think that some people are born with the genes to develop lupus. It is also believed that sunlight, some prescription medications, infections or viruses, hormones, cigarette smoking, and stress can also cause lupus or worsening symptoms of lupus (flare ups).
The symptoms and severity of lupus vary greatly from one person to the next. Many people experience tiredness, weight loss and a mildly raised temperature (fever). Other common symptoms of lupus include:
Lifestyle changes can help to control how often and how severely a person may have rashes and other symptoms caused by sensitivity to light. Avoiding sunlight and wearing sunscreen are effective ways to help control these types of symptoms. Managing stress, eating a healthy diet, and avoiding nicotine may also reduce the risk of some symptoms.
Medications used to treat lupus include:
In addition, clinical trials are investigating potential new treatments before they are approved for use.
Clinical trials are advancing our understanding of lupus and investigating potential treatments for people with it. They depend on people like you to volunteer to take part.
Potential benefits of participating in a clinical trial include:
Lupus clinical research trials are important in the development of medicines for lupus. In the survey, you will have the opportunity to sign up to be notified about available and/or upcoming lupus clinical trials. You do not need to join the database to participate in this survey.
We also invite you to join our online community for people living with lupus.

David Kohlasch, a 30-year veteran of the hospitality industry, recently took the helm of an Inner Harbor landmark.
Sonesta, a hotel brand relatively unknown in the Mid-Atlantic, assumed management in May of the InterContinental Harbor Court hotel, now called the Royal Sonesta Harbor Court.
Before this year, the rapidly expanding brand only had a handful of properties in the United States. Its roughly two dozen hotels were concentrated in South America and Egypt. By the end of summer, Sonesta hotels will dot the eastern seaboard, nearly doubling the brand's locations.
In Baltimore, only the management is changing, from InterContinental to Sonesta. The building remains owned by Hospitality Properties Trust of Newton, Mass., which bought Harbor Court for $78 million in 2006.
Most of the staff remained the same and room rates are not expected to change, Kohlasch said.
Still there's work to be done, he said. Even though it underwent a $5 million upgrade in 2006, the 195-room hotel is going to be refreshed again.
Kohlasch, who used to manage the Ronald Reagan Building & International Trade Center, a Washington, D.C., conference and event space near the National Mall, looks forward to introducing Baltimore to the Sonesta brand, he said.
Being general manager of Sonesta's Baltimore outpost is his second stint with the company. He worked at its Boston flagship hotel two decades ago.
He returned, he said, because Sonesta has maintained it family-business roots and collegial culture. At the end of June, Kohlasch sat down with The Baltimore Sun to discuss Sonesta's plans for the Harbor Court property.
What does Sonesta offer the Baltimore hotel market?
As a company, all of our hotels are four-star hotels. We come from a very high-quality background and environment. In Baltimore … there are a lot of great hotels here, but there's huge demand here for Four Seasons-level hotels and we consider ourselves in that arena.
With the Harbor Court specifically, for the 25 years it's been here, it's been a four-star hotel. It's had an incredible reputation from the day it opened.
All of our properties are very unique. We're very indigenous to the environments that we're in. So we're not going to come in and have a cookie-cutter-style hotel. That's not how we operate.
Within the next 18 months, the property's going to go through a very extensive renovation. As we're working with designers to do renovations, they'll maintain the unique, indigenous feel to the hotel. We, very candidly, feel that that's going to help us succeed here, but it's also going to show our guests and the local community that we value and embrace the Baltimore culture.
What will the renovations entail?
We've had one meeting with designers and architects so far. So we're not at the point of getting into specifics of colors and fabrics. We're not there yet; we'll get there eventually.
But we're going to renovate all the guest rooms. All the public spaces are going to be completely renovated. We want to maintain the Baltimore feel and, in terms of the design, we're not looking at the exterior of the building.
Ninety-nine percent is going to be on the interior. There may need to be some repair work on the facade and stuff like that, but we're not looking to change the whole skin of the building.
When you compare the hotel's red brick exterior to the more recent structures of Harbor East, it doesn't have the same contemporary feel. Do you think that puts Sonesta at a disadvantage?
No. Once we get done with the design of the place, it's going to be beautiful. State-of-the-art technology. It's going to have all the amenities.
People pay and come back because of the service levels and the people who are inside. The building's unique because it has a distinct look to it. It's something people are going to remember. I don't think it's going to hurt us at all.
At the end of the day, what's going to be our success is what happens within the four walls of the building. It's the people that you're interacting with every day. It's the service levels, the quality of the food, quality of just the guest experience.
As long as on the sales and marketing side, we're doing everything we need to do in order to market Baltimore as a city and market ourselves as a destination — which we will do — I don't think that's going to be a detriment to us.
Have you heard from customers who are hesitant about the management change?
We've been here four weeks now — a very short time period — and a lot of people have come in very curious to see who we are. The curiosity, the feedback so far has been excellent.
A lot of people come in and say, "Who's Sonesta? We haven't heard of you guys," which I can understand, because we're a smaller company. Once we explain who we are — that we've been in the business for a long time, we're not new at this, we know what we're doing and we have been very successful — once we tell people our story and the culture of the company and where our focus is, the feedback overall has been excellent.
I haven't sensed any hesitancy. We were adamant that we were going to keep the Harbor Court name because [it] is almost a landmark. Whether it's Sonesta or any other name, all you need to do with a lot of people is mention Harbor Court and they know exactly where it is. Doesn't matter what brand is on it.
Why was Sonesta interested in this property specifically?
In terms of our quality levels of our hotels, which are all four-star, this fits right into that. Plus, we have a good presence on the East Coast, so this fits into that as well. We've got Boston, our flagship. We opened up a hotel in Hilton Head a few months ago and we're now in the Baltimore and Philadelphia markets. Also Baltimore itself, just from the business side of it, there's a lot of opportunity here.
Did most of the staff stay on through the transition?
We retained everybody. We brought everybody on that wanted to stay on.
Our employees are just as important as the guests in our company and we do everything in our possible power to make sure that we treat our employees with the utmost respect 100 percent of the time.
Whether you're the GM or the housekeeper or the front desk clerk — whatever the position may be — there's nobody more important than anybody else.
Our style is we go on a first-name basis. We are not formal. We want an environment that people love to come into. Feel appreciated and valued. If we can do that with our employees, they're going to end up servicing the guests exceptionally.
David Kohlasch, a 30-year veteran of the hospitality industry, recently took the helm of an Inner Harbor landmark.

Face of the day(s)
So here are two looks I've done recently. The lilac shimmer look was for New Year's Eve (which was a nice quiet night in), and the green look was for a belated Christmas party my best friend held on the 2nd.
MAC Moisturecover Select concealer
Urban Decay Primer Potion
MAC Pigment in Quietly over lid
Urban Decay Oil Slick eyeshadow in crease (from new palette)
GOSH Metallic Brass eyeliner on waterline (sounds weird but it is in fact a lovely minky grey with a subtle shot of bronze shimmer - and my only grey liner!)
Urban Decay Revolver liquid liner on upper lid lashline (wot my sis got me for Christmas, lovely steel grey!)
YSL Faux Cils mascara
MAC Mineralise Skin Finish Natural
Shu Uemura Glow On Pearl blush in P Wine 25
MAC Brow Pencil in Spiked
NARS Lipgloss in Metis
Close up (I have to work on my blending!) and excuse the chunky silver glitter, I used UD Uzi as a highlighter but it didn't really work. And then I couldn't get the glitter off!
This looks quite light here but it was in fact much brighter green in real life, with glitter!
MAC Moisturecover Select concealer
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Shu Uemura eyeshadow in P Green 450 on lid
MAC Humid eyeshadow in crease and lashline
GOSH eyeliner in Woody Green on top lashline and waterline
MAC Glitter Liner in Lime Dandy over the top on top lashline
YSL Faux Cils Mascara
MAC MSF Natural
MAC blush in Springsheen (also from my sis for Christmas)
MAC Brow pencil in Spiked
YSL Golden Gloss no. 7 in Golden Amber

Hey there, gorgeous! :-)ReplyDelete
You look stunning. I love both looks, the green one esp looks great with your eyes. And you have such perfect skin you hot cow!ReplyDelete
Both looks are gorgeous on you! I'll be checking out that GOSH liner in the second pic!ReplyDelete
gorgeous looks :)ReplyDelete
Naz you look so gorgeous. I llvoe green eye make up so might have to hunt down the Mac Eyeliner you used xReplyDelete
Aw thanks my lovelies - if I blushed I would!ReplyDelete
Laura - the GOSH liner in Woody Green is one of my absolute favourites, you must get! (Metallic Brass is also amazing!)
Em - Lime Dandy was an LE liner from 2008 but I think Collection 2000 have brought out a similar shade recently, it's a goldy-greeny one? x
Oh and Randomlondongirl - I really don't - it's just the miracle that is MAC Mineralise Skinfinish! xReplyDelete
Gorgeousness, as always! I love the colours :DReplyDelete

Born in Bath in 1761, Lambert was part of the privileged and wealthy elite. With the leisure and the means to pursue his passion for natural history in an extravagant and all-consuming way, his salons and personal library became the backdrop for the spoils of his collecting mania.
With a keen eye for detail and an almost childlike enthusiasm, Lambert relished the thrill of natural history collecting and was particularly interested in the drawings coming out of Australia.
Lambert became known as one of Britain's leading natural historians and though he never left Europe, he amassed over 700 drawings and countless specimens from New South Wales.
big image
After his death in 1842, Lambert's library was auctioned by Sotheby's.
The 13th Earl of Derby, a great friend of Lambert, purchased his collection of Australian watercolours from the sale. A passionate naturalist and collector himself, the Earl of Derby had begun assembling one of the finest natural history libraries in England at his family seat of Knowsley Hall, near Liverpool.
The drawings remained in the Knowsley Hall family library for over 150 years, rarely opened until the State Library's purchase of the collection in 2011. Undiscovered, the watercolours have barely faded or deteriorated over the years and feature bold and striking examples of Australian birds, plants, fish, a handful of mammals and a single scene of Norfolk Island.
The collection of 745 drawings was bound into six volumes, three of which have been referred to in historical literature. However, until the Library's purchase, the other three had never been seen or described before.
Obtained through the generous support of TAL & Dai-ichi Life and the NSW Government and known today as the TAL & Dai-ichi Life Derby Collection, these extraordinary watercolours are the Library's most significant addition to the First Fleet collection since the 1930s.
Below is a just a small selection of the Australian flora and fauna that was discovered within those six volumes.

After another brief hiatus, I'm back, bitches. Well, "back" to the few of you who noticed my absence. Thanks for stroking my ego and warming the cockles of my heart. Or was that just the heat wave?
I've just returned from a long weekend in New York, which primarily revolved around sweating buckets and guzzling iced teas, but also featured several noteworthy guest appearances by friends accrued throughout various stages of my life.
Observations that are by no means revelatory in any way…
Sangria with this gal might not heal all wounds, but it doesn't hurt. Pret a Manger iced black tea with red fruits is probably one of the best remedies for surviving 100 degree weather. Realizing you've forgotten your book is a bummer– until you pass the Strand kiosk on the SE corner of Central Park. 9 times out of 10, a dive bar with the right company will trump whatever's trendy– especially if there's skee ball involved. Everything dies, baby that's a fact, but maybe it is better to bear the news of a deceased childhood pet in the presence of friends, Mexican food, and several midday Margaritas. Sometimes you need the friend who can break your stubbornness by saying trust me that it's too late for you to take the subway back alone, please get in a cab in a stern voice. Harry Potter exhibits are one of very few exceptions to the avoid-Times-Square-like-the-plague rule. The Lobby Bar at the Ace Hotel just might make a person want to spend an entire weekend afternoon studying. Being able to use walking as a means of transportation is a simple pleasure better appreciated after relying on a car for a long period of time– though probably appreciated even more when the heat index isn't 110 degrees F.
Though I took no photographs, I can offer the following, taken by a friend in a Dingle diner (County Kerry, Ireland). Though I try to avoid behaving like a tourist while actually in the city, clearly I relish the opportunity to act like an NYC tourist in the Emerald Isle?

Cuba's digital destination
Jeffery Millstein – Cuba
Extract from the Introduction: "Fragments of Light"
by Nilo Cruz
Photographs are travelers of light who wander back to their source in order to capture an ephemeral moment—a volatile and evanescent image. They are relatives of memory, of dreams, of apparitions . . . except they are obedient storytellers who arrest the brevity of an instant and rescue it from a vanishing point. Cuba lends itself to the stillness of photographs, since this isolated island has long existed in a state of paralysis, immobile in time, like a stone raft anchored by the burden of an unrealized dream.
Every moment that is embraced by Jeffrey Milstein's camera seems to be imperishable. His images have a faded beauty reminiscent of old works of art without the craquelure found on the surface of oil paintings. His gaze seems to gravitate to the dilapidation found on the island, to the discolored and fractured walls of elegant and magni?cent buildings that not only narrate thousands of stories but also whisper tales of an unresolved promise—a sort of utopia that never quite materialized.
The images contained in this book do more than mirror reality in Cuba. They offer an orientation to its complexities. They present glimpses that are factual, realistic, honest, mixed with a breath of lyricism and quotidian simplicity, capturing our attention and allowing us to see the unseen. They get us in touch with the depth of our own inwardness and expand our sympathies not only for the Cuban people but also for humanity.
At ?rst glance, the viewer will be intrigued by the imprint of time captured in the photographs. I was certainly astonished and saddened by the crumbling colonial architecture, by the depiction and mystery of these new ruins. No doubt your own curiosity will be stirred as well by the rundown buildings that are determined to defy neglect even if they can only show the remains of their glory—the pulverized testimony of the grandeur that once graced the streets of Cuba.
One wonders if the decaying architecture portrayed in Milstein's photographs has been punished for having been built in another epoch since this active kind of destruction is characterized by the takeover of militant regimes. The tendency is to banish all that is representative of any past political ideology or pre-existing system. However, the politics of Communist Cuba have never been able to function without the imprint of time—without the allusion to the past and the vestigial capitalistic corruption that existed during Fulgencio Batista's regime in the 1950s. The revolution has always been invested in what went on before Castro came into power in order to justify its raison d'être. The imminent fear of an American invasion that could turn Cuba into a semi-colony has always been utilized as a threat and as a means to propagate and fortify the Cuban revolution and its ideals.
Nilo Cruz is a Pulitzer Prize–winning Cuban-American playwright.

Summers in India can be brutal and there are many of us who just want to stay indoors. While nowadays switching on an AC is all too common, houses in India have long been built to survive the heat naturally. These architectural and design elements keep the heat out and make sure your home is cool and comfortable.

More Information on Bactrim Treatment
The recommended Bactrim dose for treating urinary tract infections, ear infections, or Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in children is determined by weight. For Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia prevention, the dose is based on body surface area (which your child's healthcare provider will calculate using your child's weight and height). Bactrim should never be used in children under the age of two months old.
Some considerations for people taking Bactrim include the following:
- Bactrim comes in tablet form. It is taken by mouth, usually twice a day (although it is taken as frequently as four times daily or as infrequently as once daily for certain uses).
- You can take this medication with food or on an empty stomach. If it bothers your stomach, try taking it with food.
- Bactrim can be taken at any time of the day; however, be sure to take the medication at the same time(s) each day. For instance, if you take it twice daily, it is best to evenly space the doses, taking a dose every 12 hours.
- For the medication to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. Bactrim will not work if you stop taking it too soon.
- If you are unsure about anything related to your dosage or Bactrim dosing in general, please talk with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.

Hitech Technologies are proud to announce a new partnership with Orange Bikes, a British bicycle manufacturer specialising in a range of road, mountain and e-bikes. Orange Bikes will be working closely with Hitech Technologies to support their development on OEM, motorsport and niche vehicle projects.
With around thirty years of expertise in advanced technological development, Orange Bikes will further Hitech Technologies' scope of projects and fuel innovation. Formula Three is a technologically advanced sport, requiring first-class expertise and innovation to stay competitive as a team and achieve victory. The ability to develop new processes in-house is often what sets teams apart, making technological development crucial for success within motorsport.
With more than thirty years of Formula One expertise, Mark Smith, Head of R&D operations at Hitech Technologies added: "Our partnership with Orange Bikes will allow us to apply the most relevant areas of motorsport technology in support of the development of a leading British brand, whilst at the same time extending our own in-house engineering and testing capabilities."
Hitech GP Team Principal, Oliver Oakes, commented: "We are excited to collaborate with Orange Bikes throughout the season. We will be able to advance our technological development within Hitech Technologies to further our success both on and off track."
Ashley Ball, Managing Director at Orange Bikes, added: "We are excited to be entering into a technological collaboration with Hitech GP. We are huge motorsport fans and the innovation that Mark, Oliver and their team are now bringing to Formula 3 is plain to see."
"Working with the Hitech GP team in our Strange development program will be invaluable. In our 30th year of building performance bikes, we understand our craft implicitly, yet we are always learning, refining and looking ahead. And in that respect, we find ourselves on the same page as Hitech GP.
With so many new arenas opening up in the world of cycling, our thirst for innovation has never been greater. With our design teams' knowledge of materials and the performance testing facilities available at Hitech GP, this meeting of minds is exactly what we've been hoping to bring to the creative mix at Orange for some time, and now that time is right.Our aim, as ever, is to be at the forefront of the performance curve with our road and mountain bikes which now include e-bikes with power-assist systems and emerging battery technologies; nothing is off-limits. With additional data metrics to build on, we're sure of a fruitful future for Hitech GP and Orange Bikes."
