The BJP decided to pull out of the PDP-led coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday. The decision comes within days of the Centre deciding not to extend the Ramzan ceasefire in the Valley.
"It has become untenable for the BJP to continue the alliance with PDP," BJP's Jammu and Kashmir in-charge Ram Madhav said. "A lot has been done for the state's development by the Modi government. It has done whatever was feasible," he added.
Ram Madhav further said that the "situation in the Kashmir Valley is not right today, there is terrorism and the freedom of press is in danger after the killing of Shujaat Bukhari ji."
"Terrorism, violence and radicalisation have risen and fundamental rights of the citizens are under danger in the Kashmir valley. Despite support from the Central govt, PDP failed to control the situation," he added.
The PDP has called an emergency meeting to discuss the issue at 4pm on Tuesday. Mehbooba Mufti is expected to chair the meeting. Senior PDP minister Naeem Akhtar said CM Mehbooba Mufti will submit her resignation to the Governor shortly.
Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah took to Twitter to react to the BJP's decision to withdraw from the alliance with PDP "And so it has come to pass…
BJP leaders and ministers met the top party leadership earlier in the day amid reports of straining of ties. National Security Adviser Ajit Doval also met Shah on Monday.
This is not the first time that differences have cropped up between the alliance partners. Earlier, the PDP reportedly threatened to pull out of the coalition over the issue of two BJP ministers rallying behind the Hindu Ekta Manch, which was demanding a CBI inquiry into the rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl in Kathua district. The BJP had asked both the ministers to resign from cabinet.
On Tuesday, the BJP had called its cabinet ministers in Jammu and Kashmir to New Delhi for consultation with the party leadership.

Wales fitness coach White promoted

Fitness guru Craig White has been promoted by the WRU © Getty Images
Craig White, the conditioning coach brought in as part of the Wales fitness team by head coach Warren Gatland in the summer, has been elevated to a new role by the Welsh Rugby Union and will now take responsibility for co-ordinating all aspects of physical performance at the top end of the game.
White assumes the position of National Squad Performance Manager with immediate effect and is contracted until after the 2011 Rugby World Cup. This position of increased managerial responsibility for the former Wasps and Leicester Tigers fitness guru means he will now co-ordinate all physical performance areas for the national squad, although he will initially remain a hands on coach working throughout the Regions as he has done since arriving in Wales.
White will report directly to Gatland, but maintain strong links with the newly appointed National Performance Manager Huw Wiltshire to ensure consistency of approach throughout the WRU leading through to the national squad.
"In my short experience in Wales, we have the potential for establishing a truly world class environment for the production of top class players and this has stood out in comparison to all the other places I have worked," said White.
"The one overriding thing we have in our favour as a nation is the heavy concentration of rugby talent in what is just a small area in terms of the geography of the country.
"Those bare facts present a golden opportunity for us to nurture the playing talent we have available to us and, at international level, leaves us with no excuses as to why each and every individual who comes through should not reach their true potential.
"From a personal point of view I am very much looking forward to this new role and, whilst I want to continue to maintain hands on coaching contact with the national squad in the immediate future, the role will also involve more co-ordinating and management duties."
White will co-ordinate the following key areas in relation to the national squad: Physical Conditioning, Injury Prevention Strategies, Rehabilitation, Nutrition, Sports Science and Performance Monitoring.
"We are in pretty good shape already and the players we are working with at the moment are in a position to maintain the healthy state of Welsh rugby for the short term," he continued.
"We have a squad that could go head to head with any in the world game at the moment physically and come out favourably on their day.
"But the important factor is to not only maintain those high standards, but to continually improve them as the squad evolves, to stand us in good stead for years to come and that is the very crux of this new role.
"We also need to close any gap that may exist between those within the national squad and on the fringes."
White is one of rugby's most highly respected conditioning coaches, he joined Gatland's backroom line-up, charged with building the Wales team towards the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand in 2011, prior to the two-Test tour of South Africa in June.
"I have worked with Craig at London Wasps and in Ireland and I know the talent and tireless dedication he will bring to this role with Wales will be of great benefit to the players," said Gatland.
"He has the professional credentials, personality and management skills to really get to grips with all of the key physical performance areas of the national squad and to ensure that once that best practice is in place it permeates throughout the national game."
White's last UK role was as Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at the Leicester Tigers. He has worked at the top level with London Wasps, the Irish Rugby Union, the British and Irish Lions and Leicester Tigers. Outside rugby he has an impressive track record in top class soccer with Bolton Wanderers and has studied with many experts from the worlds of elite sports and sports science.
Some of the most respected figures in rugby have spoken in the past of the high regard they hold him in as a fitness expert and trainer.
WRU Group Chief Executive, Roger Lewis, said, "Craig is an extremely impressive individual who has an outstanding record and clearly operates at the forefront of his area of expertise. He has much to offer the game in Wales."
The former Leicester coach Pat Howard said: "Craig is without doubt one of the best trainers I have worked with and he has a bright future. If I had to use one word to describe Craig, his commitment to winning and improving standards, not just his own but also everyone else's, it would be, relentless."
Sir Clive Woodward said, "Craig is without doubt one of the best practitioners in his field. He is well respected in his field and I had no hesitation in selecting him on the 2005 British and Irish Lions tour."
Ireland centre Brian O'Driscoll added, "The main reason all the lads enjoyed working with Craig is because the training he did with us was aimed not just at making us stronger, fitter and faster but aimed at making us better rugby players."

Martin lighting fixtures transformed Singapore's Anderson Bridge into a dynamic light display, during i Light Singapore 2019. Artist Xavi Bové and lighting partner onionlab used a range of Martin fixtures to make this "Time Rhythm" creation come to life.
First held in 2010, i Light Singapore is held annually and brings people together by focusing on art and sustainability. 2019's bicentennial edition included the overarching theme – Bridges of Time – and over 30 installations that were free to the public.
"The concept behind my proposal should be a relationship in between light, sound and time, combining all these elements in a way of representing time," said Xavi Bové, visual composer of XAVI BOVÉ STUDIO, who discussed his ideas behind the creation of his "Time Rhythm" exhibit. "For the light design, we thought about having one light metronome that is going to be moving visually in a frequency of 1 second so it's 60 times per minute. So we place one big moving head on top of the bridge in the center and on each side there's going to be 12 moving heads so in total are 25 heads placed on the architecture of the bridge and then on top of that we use the whole architecture to mount our LED bars so we could use exactly the shape of the original architecture of the bridge to enhance it with our light design."
"When we first were asked by the festival to do this installation, we realized that we were going to work with Martin. That's a brand that we always wanted to work with," said, Jordy Pont of lighting partner, onionlab, a pivotal component in creating the exhibit. "(Martin) were completely easy to work with – with the equipment and with the moving lights. We hope that in a future project we can continue working with Martin."
"It is really a great opportunity for Martin to be working with lighting designers and co-creating lighting solutions to really bring out the video of iconic locations like for example the Anderson Bridge, where we have located," said Amar Subash, Senior Director Lighting Solutions, HARMAN Professional Solutions, Asia Pacific. "It's a great opportunity for the public to enjoy these architectural locations at their finest, using Martin lighting solutions. We're able to bring out the best in these locations. Martin loves to work with the designer community, so we love to engage and to really showcase what's possible on both the architectural and entertainment sides. We are really open and we look forward to working with the designer community in creating more such events and activities to showcase what lighting can really do. We want to thank the whole team of designers and partners that came together to create this event."
We invite you to watch two videos that showcase the i Light Singapore 2019 Anderson Bridge exhibit, featuring Martin lighting. The first video includes a discussion on the design of the exhibit with the artists that created it and the second video offers an opportunity to view the full show from the perspective of someone attending the festival.
We'd love to hear your thoughts on the exhibit or the Martin lighting fixtures supporting it in Leave a Reply.

The South Korean Ministry of Defence has posted its own video on YouTube to reject Japan's allegations over the current military radar-related spat between the two immediate neighbours.
Ministry's spokeswoman Choi Hyun-soo pointed out that the clip was released in order to "provide accurate facts, after distorted facts have been disseminated to Internet users across the globe through Japan's clip unilaterally published in Japanese and English".
"We once again say that Japan must cease actions that warp the facts and apologise for carrying out a low-altitude flight toward our warship that was on a humanitarian rescue operation," Choi stressed.

In the video, the ministry reiterated that one of its Gwanggaeto the Great-class destroyers did not target a Japense P-1 Maritime Self-Defence Force's plane, and that the warship used an optical camera while being on a humanitarian mission to rescue a North Korean boat in distress in international waters of the East Sea.
The ministry also reiterated that the Japanese warplane was flying at low altitude, which it claimed was "threatening" to the South Korean warship.
The footage comes about a week after the Japanese Defence Ministry released a video of its own which it said proves that the South Korean destroyer repeatedly locked a targeting radar on its aircraft inside Japan's exclusive economic waters off the Noto Peninsula on 20 December.

The clip, in particular, contained voices of Japanese crewmembers asking the destroyer's crew in English for clarification, to no avail.
Defence Minister Takeshi Iwaya, for his part, stressed that the video was released to let people in Japan and beyond know that the Japanese Self-Defence Force operated appropriately.
"It is most important that an incident like this should never be repeated between Japan and South Korea," Iwaya underscored, voicing hope that the two countries will resolve "difficult issues" and move to "mutual understanding and exchange".

The past few years have seen a deterioration in Seoul-Tokyo ties, which were specifically tarnished by compensation issues related to the sexual abuse of "comfort women" and Korean forced labourers during Japan's colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula between 1910 and 1945.

How can U.S. lead if it won't listen on Jerusalem?
I write this letter unsurprised but nonetheless pained by the United States' decision to exercise its 32nd United Nations veto on issues pertaining to Israel's violations of international law. The 32 vetoes total more than all the vetoes exercised by the four other permanent Security Council members combined in the UN's history. In this instance, the U.S. vetoed a resolution affirming the international community's stance that Jerusalem is an international city too steep in religious and cultural diversity to belong to any single state.
The world is calling on the U.S. to take a moral stance against injustice. Israel's continued occupation of Palestine, as recognized by the rest of the world for over 50 years, is against international law and sustained primarily by U.S. unilateral international support and, of course, the $10 million of military aid we provide Israel every single day.
To be a true leader, first, you must listen. If the United States is to ever regain the faith of the international community, we must listen to our peers. We must obey international law. We must acknowledge injustice, like 50 years of military occupation, and we must do so now.

Quit tobacco in the new year
With the new year fast approaching, make a resolution for a healthier life for you and your family. If you use tobacco, quitting is the most important step you can take to protect your health and decrease the risk of lung disease, cancer, and even early death.
If you want to quit and tried in the past, don't give up. Many smokers say quitting is the hardest thing they've ever done. It often takes several tries before you can quit for good. However, with planning and support, you can become tobacco free.
* Fortunately, most health insurance plans cover nicotine replacement and other quit-smoking medicines.
* The Massachusetts Smokers' Helpline at 1-800-QUIT NOW (1-800-784-8669) is also available for free coaching 24 hours each days, seven days a week (except Thanksgiving and Christmas) to support you through quitting tobacco. In addition, now you can enroll online through KeepTryingMA.org. Online supports include quit planning tools, peer support and motivational text messages.
* You can get four weeks of FREE nicotine replacement help from patches, gum or lozenges at the Helpline (with medical eligibility). The combination of free coaching and cessation medication can make you three times as likely to quit for good as those who try to quit on their own!
Quitting can be hard–here are five ways to make it easier:
1. Set a quit date. Choose a quit day in the new year, give yourself about two weeks to prepare.
2. Tell your family and friends you plan to quit. Share your quit date with important people and ask for their support. Daily encouragement and planned activities can help you stay on track. For example, a smoke-free lunch date or game night could help distract you.
3. Anticipate and plan for challenges. The urge to smoke is short–usually only three to five minutes. Those moments can feel intense. Before your quit date, write down healthy ways to cope with cravings so you can get past them.
Healthy choices include:
* Drinking water
* Taking a walk or climbing the stairs
* Calling or texting a friend
4. Remove cigarettes and other tobacco from your daily routine. Throw away your cigarettes, lighters, and ashtrays. Clean your car and home. Old cigarette odors can cause cravings.
5. Talk to your doctor about quit-smoking medications. Over-the-counter or prescription medicines can help you quit for good. Your quit coach and pharmacist can also provide support.
For more information, call 1-800-QUIT-NOW or visit: KeepTryingMA.org.
Make the choice to quit today, making the holidays and New Year tobacco free and healthier than ever.

Victim: I have forgiven Cardinal Law
I am one of the people involved in the Catholic Church scandal and one of the abused.
I would like it known that I have forgiven Cardinal Bernard Law and all those priests involved in the church scandal. I believe that the friends and family of Cardinal Law should know that there are people who are capable of forgiving even the worst of crimes.
It's more important that they know that I believe he knows that forgiveness is possible, and that the family and friends deserve to know that the scandal is not going to be his legacy — let my forgiveness be his legacy.
Long ago I was taught by my parents how to let go and how to forgive being one of ten children. That's an important lesson to learn.
It has taken some time, there was pain. I don't condone any of the actions.
I have recently watched too many people saddened over the death of their loved ones and I've even been to a Mass at the church in which I was abused. Each night I ask for forgiveness of my sins for the mistakes that I've made. Why is it that I should ask to be forgiven if I'm not able to forgive myself?
There is much more to be said on this matter but let the family of Cardinal Law know that there is at least one person who grants his forgiveness and sends his condolences and wishes that he rest in peace forever In the arms of God.
And let he who has not sinned at all cast the first stone.

Christmas spirit lives on locally
Over the last few weeks the Salvation Army has been conducting boot drives in Fitchburg, Leominster, and Lunenburg.
This past weekend the Salvation Army conducted the fundraising drive at the center of Lunenburg.
When the call went out to help, you, the citizens of our community came out in force. I have been volunteering for the Salvation Army for over 30 years and this outpouring of response from you has touched my heart.
Despite the coldest weather so far this year, the people of Lunenburg showed why I am proud to live here.
People have asked me where the money we collect goes.
All money collected goes directly back to our community via programs such as "Bridging the Gap," a program which helps teenagers with life skills. We also provide summer programs, that include lunches, for families in need. Our food pantry also helps feed families throughout the year. Our emergency response team is also ready to help where needed providing hot meals and drinks during emergencies, fires and power outages and helping set up a shelter at the middle school in Lunenburg when needed.
Most of all the Salvation Army is there for you. If you know or have a need please call them at 978-342-3300
I would like to thank all of the volunteers and the Lunenburg Police Department for all of their support.
Thanks to the Dragonfly Café for giving our helpers much needed hot chocolate, and a big thank you to Applebee's for supplying lunch to all of our volunteers.
I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year.
Dave MacDonald
Salvation Army

text: I haven't been seeing Jenna's byline on here all that often lately, but I guess it's because she's been off interviewing Questlove for the Village Voice. Not too shabby. Aside from his musical virtuosity, the focus seems to be on his self-imposed feelings of loneliness and isolation. Definitely an interesting read. I remember enjoying a profile in the New Yorker a while ago that talked about a crisis of confidence he had in high school due to the ridiculous talent coming out of Philly at that time. Kids he knew subbing in with Miles Davis during the school year and getting crushed at the talent show by the group that would become Boys II Men.

Factors To Consider When Engaging A Sydney Plumber
Plumbing issues in a residence can give you headaches and make the place uncomfortable to live in. If you want to avoid issues with your water and sewerage system, you should get the installation and any requisite repairs done by a proficient Sydney plumber. This article will feature the top thing you should look for if you want quality services on hiring a plumber.
Lack of water in a house or malfunctioning sewerage systems can be really frustrating. You therefore want to deal with a plumber who is highly available to offer emergency services on the same day that you need work done. Find a plumber who can guarantee availability to make repairs on the same day that you contact them.
You should also find a Sydney plumber who is honest and trustworthy. Some service providers make promises to clients that they cannot keep. Find a service provider who will give honest and accurate statements and also keep their word when it comes to availability.
Sometimes, accidents occur during the course of service delivery. If you do not want to shoulder the costs of any damages made by a plumbing professional, hire a service provider who has a current, valid and comprehensive insurance policy. With such a service provider, you are usually sure to get indemnification in case there any damages to your property when plumbing services are being offered.
The Sydney plumber that you are dealing with should also be highly experienced. An experienced plumbing expert is likely to do quality work quickly and efficiently. Novice plumbers can unwittingly make mistakes that are often expensive to correct. Find a service provider who has a wealth of experience in carrying out installations and handling the maintenance of plumbing systems. If you want peace of mind when it comes to plumbing services, you should consider engaging the professionals at www.drdripplumbing.com.au.
For quality services, seek a service provider who is highly rated by past clients. A plumbing expert who has proven their mettle in this field is likely to have a high industry reputation and great reviews from past clients. Find a service provider who is unafraid to furnish you with verifiable testimonials and references from happy clients.
You should also ascertain that you are hiring a Sydney plumbing service that is fully licensed to operate in your locality. Licensing usually shows that a service provider has met all the requisite regulations from authorities. Licensing is only handed to skilled professionals who have demonstrated that they have the requisite skills to offer quality services to prospective customers.
Before engaging a service provider, ensure that they can competently handle the magnitude of work at hand. Some service providers do not have the capability and resources to handle big jobs. Ideally you should go for a plumbing service that can handle any type of job whether small or big. This is the best way to guarantee that your work will be handled efficiently within the agreed time frame.
The ideal Sydney plumber should also be willing to guarantee their work. A guarantee usually shows that a plumber is committed to offering highly quality services the first-time round. The plumbing professionals at www.drdripplumbing.com.au espouse all the values discussed above. If you are seeking the best plumbing services in Sydney, you should definitely look them up.

Clinical Trial For Alzheimers Disease Underway At Lakewood Hospital
New technology aims to improve brain function for Alzheimer's patients
People aged 60 to 90 who are diagnosed with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease may benefit from something as simple as sitting in a chair – a state-of-the-art chair, that is.
Clinical trials for the new chair therapy began last fall at the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas. This non-invasive therapeutic system uses cognitive training and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to targeted areas of the brain. The trial was expanded to Lakewood Hospital in early 2014.
"While there is no cure for Alzheimer's, we are always looking for treatments to improve cognitive function for patients," says Babak Tousi, MD, a geriatrician with special interest in neurodegenerative diseases. He is the principal investigator of the clinical trial at the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health at Lakewood Hospital (formerly the SeniorCare Assessment Center). "Until the introduction of this device, medication was the only approved option for treatment," Dr. Tousi says. "The pilot trials suggest that this treatment may help provide patients with nine months of better brain function even after the treatment."
Know the Symptoms
Alzheimer's disease, the result of an increasing number of nerve cells deteriorating and dying, affects more than 5 million Americans, most older than 65. Symptoms include:
- Memory loss
- Confusion
- Decline in executive functions (mental processes which connect past experience with present action)
- Poor judgment Aphasia (language disorders)
- Apraxia (motor disorders)
How the trial and treatment works
Following an initial interview and consultation with the physician and a research coordinator, individuals approved for the trial must commit to participating in a 15-week program that consists of daily appointments (lasting 1 to 1-1/2 hours) five days a week for six weeks and two screening visits.
Patients interested in participating in this trial or getting more information, may contact the study coordinator, Christine Whitman, RN, at 216.227.2438 or email@example.com.
Additional support for older adults
The Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health offers comprehensive outpatient services for older adults experiencing a change in their physical, psychological or social well-being at four locations (Lakewood Hospital, Cleveland Clinic main campus, Las Vegas and Cleveland Clinic Florida). For more information or to schedule an appointment at Lakewood Hospital, call 216.521.2228.
In partnership with the Alzheimer's Association Cleveland Area Chapter, Lakewood Hospital presents Tuesdays Talk on Dementia. Held the first Tuesday of each month from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health at Lakewood Hospital (Community Health Center, 1450 Belle Ave., 2nd floor). Topics of discussion vary each month. For more information or to reserve a spot, call 216.227.2273.

Welcome to our virtual birthday party on World Environment Day, 5 June 2019.
The Cape Town Green Map was launched on World Environment Day, 5 June 2009 when this website went live.
The Cape Town Green Map isn't just a bunch of intersecting lines and street names. Rather it is the heart of the City, a green life-force, which sends out information via the numerous vessels and networks of the internet.
As with all maps, it provides direction – but with a difference. No other map has attempted to chart and detail the City of Cape Town from a green perspective before.
The best birthday present will be your response to this call, so that you can be included on the new Cape Town Green Map site, We are busy updating our Green Map database and invite you (current listings and new) to contribute and/or update a listing.
From today ( 5th June 2019) - our birthday - we invite you to do just that through this link. Please create an account first!

Disclaimer: I have purchased the product(s) myself. Read the full disclosure here.
Guerlain is a company that really needs no introduction. This French brand was founded in 1828 and has been committed to beauty ever since. I always considered their makeup, skincare and fragrances very luxurious, and had so many products on my wish list, but never got myself to buy some to try, especially because of the high price tags.
In the last year or so I've tried a few of their products and completely fell in love with the brand, so I decided it's time to buy a tin of their famous Météorites and test if they are really worth the hype. There are many beautiful limited edition pearls out there, but I wanted to start with one of the classic colors, and for my skin tone (which is very light) I chose the Météorites pearls in Clair. This is a product that's been around for a long time, so it may not need a review. But since it's quite a controversial product, I decided to share my thoughts – what do they do, how to use them, is there any difference in skin appearance and is it really worth splurging on Meteorites? After using them for a few months, this is what I think!
Météorites Highlighting Powder Pearls are hand-shaped delicate pearls of powder in multiple colors that brighten skin and minimize flaws. The original versions come in three colors:
- 01 – Blanc de Perle (not available at Sephora)
- 02 – Clair/Light
- 03 – Medium
- 04 – Doré/Golden
These are not hugely pigmented powders, so even if you are light skinned like me, you can choose the medium color to add a bit of warmth or the golden one in the summer to brighten your tan. I use sunscreen (almost) always, so I tent to stay light even in the summer, so I decided that Clair would be the most useful color for me.
The original Météorites come in a beautiful silver metal tin that is about 2/3 full and covered with a thin sponge that can be used to apply the powder (which I don't recommend), and it keeps the pearls in place so that they don't get damaged in transit. The tin is embossed with a lovely pastel flower with the Guerlain logo, and I have been keeping it on display ever since it arrived. I don't care much for the outer paper box, though, which is thin and quite flimsy for such a luxurious brand.
The powder pearls have a signature violet scent that can be quite strong in the tin, but once I apply the powder to my face the scent only gently lingers and doesn't cause any migraines.
More than what the powder is for, it's important to explain what it is NOT meant to be. Although there is some subtle shimmer, this is not a highlighter. It is also not a setting powder, and doesn't mattify or control oil and shine. Instead, it is a finishing powder to be used after setting powder.
To use the powder, simply apply it with a big, fluffy brush all over your face as the last step in your makeup routine (or the next-to-last step if you use a fixing spray, which comes last). It will look as if you're not applying anything, and resist the urge to apply too much, because it does have some subtle shimmer, and you don't want to look like a vampire from Twilight.
Météorites in Claire contain pearls of different color:
- blue-toned white pearls to reflect the light
- yellow to counter redness
- pink for freshness
- mauve to catch the light
- green for extra redness correction
- champagne pearls to adapt to the skin and gently illuminate it
From my experience, this powder is meant to subtly enhance skin, and I never noticed a huge improvement. However, as I catch my reflection in the mirror throughout the day, I can definitely see something. Météorites improve the way my skin looks, and I love to apply them even if I am not wearing a foundation. The shimmer is very subtle, and looks more like a glow. It's important for me that the powder doesn't catch on any dry spots I have, and looks very natural. It's great on top of matte foundation, to add some subtle glow that is lost, but without looking shiny.
I feel like this product, and other Guerlain products I've tried, are made for a very minimal no makeup-makeup look. This is a product for someone who doesn't like heavy makeup, contouring, too many layers, can-be-seen-from-the-space highlighters etc. It's meant to subtly enhance, without covering the natural skin texture and look. It will definitely look better on a very well cared-for face, but it works well on top of other products that do some improvements first (a blurring primer, a good foundation, a mattifying setting powder).
To put things into perspective, sometimes this is pretty much all I wear, a.k.a my definition of very minimal makeup (occasionaly I add blush):
I didn't include photos of swatches or how the powder looks on my face, simply because this product is so subtle that the effect are barely noticeable in person, and there is really no visual difference on photographs.
So, is it really worth splurging on Météorites? It depends. If you already own a lot of makeup, have a very complicated and well established makeup routine, you may not need something like this, and it may not give you a lot of improvement to justify the price. However, if you are like me, and more often prefer a quick, natural, barely-there makeup that just enhances your face a bit, without covering ALL the flaws, then this could be a product for you. It's a luxurious finishing touch that I truly enjoy.
Météorites come at a whooping price of $77 CAD, so you better make sure you will use them. The pearls are available at Sephora, and I recommend buying them during one of the Beauty Insider/VIB/Rouge discount events.
Have you tried any Guerlain products? Do you have any favorites to recommend? What do you think about these products here, do you think they're worth the price tag?

Parents reminded to avoid spray sunscreen on children
More options mean safer alternatives for sun safety
From sunscreens with varying SPFs to sensitive-based formulas and sprays, the options for parents are overwhelming. Adding to the confusion, new rankings and lists, labeling certain products found on store shelves dangerous- even cancer-causing.
"There's so much still more we need to know about those chemicals and it's something the FDA is always working on and we're always looking for more information," Parkside Pediatrics pediatrician Dr. Justin Moll says.
Among the products being studied for safety: spray sunscreens. Despite their kid-focused packaging, Moll says the FDA doesn't recommend sprays for children.
"There's a few issues with them," Moll explains. "You don't get quite as good as coverage and they aerosolize, so a lot of times - especially with young children - they breathe it in and it can irritate their airways or easily get in their eyes."
Moll says lotion-based formulas are a much safer bet.
"The recommendation is to use an SPF of 30 or higher, go for something that is tear-free, hypo-allergenic, Paba-free and apply it at least 20-30 minutes before being in the sun."
As for lists, such as the Environmental Working Group's recently released, "Hall of Shame," Moll says that's where the abundance of options comes in handy.
"There's so many options out there," says Moll, "Avoiding those added chemicals is a fine, safe idea."
While parents may be concerned, Moll points out that what we do know for sure is that any sunscreen is better than none at all.
"What we do know, more than anything, is that… over exposure to sun will cause skin cancer," said Moll.

AUBURN, Ala. – The Auburn University Board of Trustees will discuss student parking and a partnership with Southern Union State Community College in a meeting this Friday.
The first phase of expanding campus parking includes the addition of 300 paved surface parking spaces in the West Campus Parking Lot for students living on campus. It also includes 300 gravel surface parking spaces in the Hayfield Parking Lots for students who commute.
This phase, which will cost $3.50 million, is pending final approval. The parking spaces will be paid for with parking fees and money from Auburn University's general fund.
Construction of the new parking spaces is expected to be completed this summer, according to a memorandum from Associate Vice President for Facilities Dan King. King also said the project will include additional lighting and landscaping in these areas.
Auburn University has partnered with Southern Union State Community College for a new "Path to Plains" program. The program will increase support for the community college students in their process of transferring to Auburn University.
A memo from Provost Bill Hardgrave asks trustees to establish tuition rates for the program and waive student and professional fees for those enrolled. The memo requests that the Auburn University Board of Trustees approves a tuition rate equivalent to that of Southern Union.
Additionally, the board is expected to vote on the final approval for renovations of the Village View Dining Facility. According to a memo from King, the 22,700 square feet of renovations will include equipment extensions and modifications, as well as general dining room improvements.
The Village Dining project will also occur in two phases, with the first phase beginning in May and the second phase beginning in August. According to King, the dining facility will be closed this summer but will open for the upcoming fall semester.
The project is estimated to cost $3.80 million and will be financed by Dining Services with funds from the Aramark dining contract.
Lastly, the board is projected to vote on the project initiation and architect selection to renovate the ALFA Pavilion at Agricultural Heritage Park. The AFLA Pavilion, built in 2005, is a venue for university and private events, according to a memo from Dean of the College of Agriculture Paul Patterson.
The memo says the proposed project will be focused on improving the pavilion's interior and exterior to increase the venue's marketability.
Event revenue from the pavilion and gift funds from the College of Agriculture are anticipated to be used for the payment.
The Auburn University Board of Trustees is scheduled to hold a work session on Thursday afternoon before the regularly scheduled meeting on Friday.

Knowing a little more about Chula Vista can make finding cheap car insurance easier. The second largest city in the San Diego metro area next to San Diego itself, Chula Vista is a scenic, bayfront city less than 8 miles from the Mexico border in far southwest California. Home to an estimated 261,000, it is a tourist hub and also known as the "lemon capital of the world." Its name is Spanish for "beautiful view." Chula Vista is an eclectic mix of locals, tourist and immigrants so, below we will help you navigate living, driving and acquiring car insurance for this scenic city.
Let Cheap Car Insurance help take the leg work out of shopping for the best car insurance in Chula Vista. Get your auto insurance quote today!
Multiple interstates run through Chula Vista, with Interstate 5 connected it to the greater Los Angeles area to the north. For real-time traffic maps that include the Chula Vista area, visit i5highway.com.
The California Department of Transportation recommends that drivers call the Caltrans Highway Information Network at (800)427-7623 for current closures and traffic announcements.
A recently enacted rule within the city requires owners of RVs and trailers to buy a 24-hour permit for every day they park on a city street, or face a $100 fine for each violation. Only residents can get the permit, which means those who live in RVs or motor homes can't park on streets in Chula Vista.
In addition, bike lanes in California should be treated as full lanes if you are turning right, meaning you cannot turn right from the car lane by crossing over the bike lane.
Chula Vista's most recent auto theft rate is 315.5 incidents per 100,000 people, vs. the U.S. average rate of 220.2 incidents per 100,000 people. According to city-data.com, auto thefts make up about 16 percent of total crime in Chula Vista, with general theft making up the bulk, or 60 percent.
The California Office of Traffic Safety's "Click It or Ticket" program was designed to ensure drivers get a ticket if they or their passengers do not wear safety belts. It is also illegal to text or talk on the phone while driving. Drivers can use hands-free devices. For bicyclists, helmets are not required by law except for minor children.
According to the California Highway Patrol, a driver who is over the age of 21 will receive a DUI charge if his or her blood alcohol level is higher than 0.08 percent. For drivers under the age of 21, the limit is 0.01 percent. Offenders may be ordered to enroll in sober driving programs. However, some first-time offenders could face up to six months in jail as well as fines and court costs. Their licenses are also immediately suspended for up to one year.

My name is Jim Boyce and I am a BBB member. I recently did business with Mainline Insurance Services, Inc. out of Chula Vista purchasing a General Liability Policy and Workers Comp through their office. I have to say that their service was absolutely atrocious.After a nightmare getting the policy to the Contractors board, I called Mike back to complain about the whole process. It was literally a zoo of a conversation. He could not see where he had done anything wrong or less than good customer service. In fact, according to him, I am the one with the problem. I am the one being rude. I am the one with elevated expectations. I told him I thought he and his office were inept if I could get the problem handled in 30 minutes and he couldn't get it done in over a month.
In business, our customers are everything. Mike Jones and Mainline Insurance Services, Inc. have exhibited the worst in customer service and handling a customer's problems. It's too bad because he had more than one opportunity to take care of things and chose instead to ignore me. After all, he's already paid, so what's it to him if I am hanging out here on a limb that has such a powerful impact on my business. He "did what he was supposed to do according to the policies of the CSLB" It was "their problem" and "my problem" not his.

CrossFit CE November 2018 Newsletter
What's Up With Programming?!
Congratulations on a successful SQUATOBER! In the next week, I'll be looking at everybody's results and examining the differences between our two programs. We will be testing our 1RMs either the 1st, 2nd, 5th or 6th. We will be using our new found leg strength and continue to develop it in a 16 week-conjugate system where we cycle between leg strength, upper body strength, a day of dynamic upper body and a day of dynamic lower body, with one day of functional strength. Our MetCons will be focused on prepping for the Open – 10 to 16 minutes in length utilizing the frequently seen movements during the Open. The goal is to have all of our athletes prepared for the Open and our next in-house competition. Once again this year we will split CFCE into two teams and compete against each other. Much more on this when we get closer in February! – Coach Neil
Fall Brawl Wrap Up
This past Saturday Oct 27th we hosted our Annual In House Throwdown – this year calling it the Fall Brawl! We had even better participation than expected with 25 teams (50 people!) participating and plenty more stopping by to support! It turned out to be an incredibly fun morning with all athletes pushing their limits on all three events – with some PR's thrown in! In the end we had some teams rise to the top, take podium finishes, and walk away with some sweet swag. Our winners were:
- Men's RX Division
- 1st place – Jose and Enrique Rojas
- 2nd place – Rich Daniels and Tyler Palin
- Men's Scaled Division
- 1st place – Alex Pratt and Kevin O'Neill
- 2nd place – Jon Altizer and Geoff Bieger
- Women's RX Division
- 1st place – Natalie Jorion and Prarthana Jain
- 2nd place – Kendra Verhage and Julie Janssen
- Women's Scaled Division
- 1st place – Jenny Denk and Gabby Fudalej
- 2nd place – Lizbeth Torres and Jen Jauregui
We had members push themselves to go RX when they normally may not, a pregnant and post partum team, and members only months into CrossFit participate – so when the next one rolls around don't hesitate to participate! Plus there were donuts, a cake, and a keg! What more could you want on a Saturday morning?! It truly was an amazing event to see – what an awesome community we have here at CE!
-Coach Dana
We also had to celebrate a special birthday! Happy Birthday Coach Neil!
Olympic Lifting Update
At the beginning of this summer we began our first ever Olympic Lifting class! It was a huge success that culminated in hosting our very own In House Mock Meet! These classes have been sporadic for awhile now due to a number of events being held at the gym, but they will be back consistently starting this weekend Saturday Nov 3rd at 7:30 am! Yes – we know its early, but it's a great opportunity to have a full dedicated hour to spend getting more proficient and honing technique on the Olympic Lifts (Snatch and Clean&Jerk). Coach Dana has written a 12 week program that will focus on different part of each movement and build from week to week. At the end of 12 weeks we will hold a Max Out Day for people to come in and crush some numbers! To see the most progress it is highly recommended to come in consistently, but anyone is welcome to come by when they can. Feel free to Coach Dana or reach out to someone who participated in the last cycle if you have questions – they all have great things to say about their progress! Workouts are posted in SugarWod on Friday evenings so you can check it out and see if its something you might need some work on. – Coach Dana

School Zones
What's the speed limit at a school zone?
The speed limit in a school zone is 25 mph.This is the "prima facie" speed for all school zones.
If I don't see any children, do I still need to go 25 mph?
That depends. The California Vehicle Code says that when you approach or pass a school building that is posted with the warning sign, you must drive 25 mph while children are going to or leaving the school either during school hours or during the noon recess.
However, if there is not a fence, gate or other physical barrier that separates the school from the roadway, you must drive 25 mph while the school is in use. This means the whole school day. So, why take a chance, when you come to a school zone, slow down to 25 mph. Not only will you save yourself from getting a ticket, but you may save a childÕs life. A child that may suddenly run out in the street in front of you or one that may e chasing that ball into the street without looking first. Remember, they are children, we are adults. We are responsible for the safety and well being of our children.
Palm Desert Police in conjunction with Riverside County Sheriff Department will be out in force during the school year to ensure that our children are kept safe and allowed to enjoy their school time.
The Palm Desert Traffic Services Team wishes to remind motorist that School is still in session. We ask the following: Motorists please watch your speed in and around schools. Parents/caregivers should only drop off their children in designated drop off zones. Parents/ caregivers should not allow their children to exit vehicles onto the street or into traffic. Children should be directed to use crosswalks when ever possible. Additionally, bicyclists under the age of 18 are required to wear a helmet. The Palm Desert Traffic Services Team thanks you for your cooperation and wishes you a safe & happy holiday season.
The Palm Desert Traffic Services Team consists of two Sergeants, four Motors, and six Deputies. Traffic Services primary mission is to improve public safety while insuring the efficient flow of traffic. If you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding traffic in Palm Desert please contact the Traffic Services Team at 760/ 836-1600 or see their website.

Students at Memorial Park Elementary School are completing a number of hands-on activities to develop their critical thinking skills.
The school is making a concerted effort to integrate STEAM concepts into classroom education. STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) activities motivate students to draw on their problem solving skills, and the approach is being used across the country.
STEAM is still referred to as STEM; however, arts has been added to the educational approach recently.
Memorial Park Principal Eric Rigsby praised the school's teachers for finding ways to incorporate STEAM activities.
"It lends itself very easily to science classrooms and math classrooms, but I've seen it in reading and language arts," Rigsby said. "It can really be used across the curriculum."
One group of students at Memorial Park participated in a seed dispersal project as part of the STEAM curriculum. Students were assigned to create a model depicting how their particular seed traveled and present their project to the class.
A second-grade classroom provided students with Legos and other items to build their own invention, and some third-graders created models of their classroom — all while learning directional skills.
Other students crafted a spaghetti tower, and another group was assigned to create a structure strong enough to hold one of their textbooks.
"The big thing for us is the engineering component — having kids be able to work together to solve a problem and being able to take a framework and expand upon it," Rigsby said.
He said one of the greatest benefits of STEAM is how students learn to problem solve by working together and drawing on their varying skill sets.
"Our kids love it. ... I think our kids like the freedom of knowing 'somebody didn't plan out every step for me,'" he said.
STEAM is incorporated in all grade levels, according to Rigsby, and he said Memorial Park will likely seek STEAM accreditation in the future.
Just last year, Memorial Park was named a National Blue Ribbon School for their demonstrated academic success. Rigsby said STEAM projects for students and the continued mantra of critical thinking are helping the school become even stronger.
"I think our school does a very good job of holding our students accountable for their learning," he said. "Our teachers do a wonderful job of setting the bar high for our students."

I should note that this was originally posted in 1998.
It's good to be home.
Emily had gone to Bali a few days earlier, as she had some business and both my son and I still had school. On Christmas Eve we got to the airport and boarded our flight to Bali.
Like the song goes … "the weather started getting rough. The tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew …" We made three passes over the Island of the Gods, but it wasn't meant to happen.
The rain was buffeting our sturdy craft. It was impossible to see anything, and then the peanuts ran out.
Well, next thing you know … ol' Wayne's back in Surabaya. And Boy howdy, was I ever happy about that. I peppered the air with cries of gosh golly and dad burn it. I'm not happy.
Emily is waiting at the airport for me and her handphone is obviously not working. My handphone has previously given up the ghost. Now I'm using a phone card and trying to find a compatible phone. I find one, but unfortunately, it's sandwiched between two phones occupied by men talking louder than seems necessary.
I can't hear a bloody thing. I'm trying to explain the situation to my mother-in-law. She's a nice lady who I communicate quite well with in person, yet her English doesn't exist, my Indonesian is poor, the connection sucks and the surrounding noise is unbearable.
Well, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas at the top of my lungs, I compliment their country and their courtesy and I wish them on their way. My son thinks dear old Dad is ready for a new sports coat in that lovely wrap-around style.
Finally, I get through. Everybody's okay on that side. We waited in Surabaya's Juanda airport for an hour and a half. Finally, the plane boarded again. It was now 10:00 pm. The flight to Bali is about 35 to 45 minutes. Bali is an hour ahead of Surabaya.
We arrive in Bali at 11:40 p.m. Bali time. It's drizzling. The taxi driver asks for Rp 40,000. I decline. We walk out to the taxi booth and buy a voucher. We pay Rp 26,000. Christmas Eve passes in the back of a taxi. We arrive.
My wife is at work preparing a shipment of fruit to Hong Kong. I am now a fruit packer. By 12:00 p.m. Christmas day the fruit is packed and on its way. We shower, eat and almost everyone sleeps.
Me, … I'm wired. The rest of our merry band has fallen asleep. The nanny and the cook are watching the kids. The next day the lost sleep will catch up with me. I take a long walk. We were in Denpasar, Bali and it's hot. I walk for an hour and come back drenched in sweat.
Christmas night we head to Jimbaran.
Jimbaran beach is a long strip of seafood restaurants. You order your food fresh. You pick a table. On the beach, if it's not raining, under the tents if it is. On a clear night the sound of the surf, the smell of barbecued fish and the majesty of a star-filled sky conspire to bewitch even the most cynical traveler.
The day after Christmas I sleep until 11:00 a.m. I'm still tired when my two nephews and my niece wake me. Chinese-Indonesian children do not play outside and are generally spoiled. I've brought some cartoons with me. The VCDs keep them occupied for half an hour.
We head to Kuta that afternoon. We don't go to the bars or the shopping malls. We find a relatively quiet beach and play in the surf. My son, who's eighteen, seems more interested in the spectacle of topless women frolicking close by. My head may have turned one or two times. The surf-kissed sand has been rendered almost mirror-like. The sky is a rich blue with traces of white clouds. Gradually the blue becomes purple and the sun is a descending red ball. Pale pinks and rich oranges dominate the fading palate. A tropical sunset is beautiful and abbreviated.
In fifteen minutes it is dark. The stars are brilliant. Aside from a few moments of temper, the week passes uneventfully. We watch videos on New Years' Eve. Two days later we hop in the car and head to Lovina. We're going to see the Dolphins.
Last episode we left for Lovina to see the dolphins.
Along the way, we pass the site of Gunung Agung's 1963 eruption. The devastation was massive and thousands died. The Balinese believe that this was because prayers had been interrupted. Now the boulders, once part of Gunung Agung's crown, are strewn about, but they are covered with lush vegetation. It was another example of nature's power to repair itself.
I was reminded of a walk through Canada's Algonquin Park.
Granted, it probably doesn't need to be said that it certainly wasn't similar terrain. A picture from the early years of the last century showed a devastated mountain.Trees, and earth torn away to run a rail line through. Then in the fall 0f 1995, I walked down that same path and tall, healthy trees shaded me. Waist high grass surrounded me. I was shaded by mature pines. Nature will right itself, once given a chance.
Now I stood in the lushness of Gunung Agung's revival. Gunung is the Indonesian word for mountain, and the center of Bali is a spine of mountains. Many of them are still active volcanoes. As late as 1994 there have been eruptions. They don't call the Indonesian archipelago the Ring of Fire because of the hot food. We arrived in Lovina. We looked at one place. They wanted RP 300,000 a night. That's the price of a luxury hotel in Surabaya.
We found the Hotel Padma. We paid Rp 120,000 for each of two rooms, barely enough for myself, Emily, her sister Suzy, our son Adryan, Suzy's three kids and a family friend. So, it's guys in one room, and women in the other. The pool was clean large and warmed by the sun. We ate a large dinner and turned in. At 5:00 a.m. we were up and by six o'clock, we were in two traditional boats heading out to see the dolphins. We were about 20 minutes out when the first small pod appeared.
They surfaced, played about and were gone – only to reappear in another area. This went on for half an hour or so. Then a larger group appeared. The two groups surfaced, dived, disappeared, raced the boats and delighted their audience. It is impossible not to feel a little like an alien watcher, privileged to witness a very personal kinship with nature.
The surrounding mountains were mist-cloaked shadows at the water's edge. The water was black in the pale early morning light, briefly disturbed by our bright-coloured boats and the sleek gray bodies that danced and dived around us.
Then it ended. We had spent almost two hours watching. It was impossible to tell who was more excited, the adults or the children.
After breakfast, Adryan and I went snorkelling. A reef lay about halfway between the shore and where we watched the dolphins. Again, we were in a traditional boat. A narrow canoe like craft with twin outriggers, a small (5.5 horsepower) outboard motor and an inverted, triangular-shaped, lanteen sail that also serves to shade our driver/guide as he naps. We don masks and flippers and enter the now blue waters. Colors explode around us. Angelfish, rainbow-hued fish, blue neon tetras and unfortunately a few too many jelly fish. We moved location twice. Adryan managed to find a French coin. Once cleaned, it was revealed as a 1995 coin, but still a find. I had to rescue it from the pool bottom later that evening, so the excitement of discovery was obviously short-lived. We stayed two days then headed back to Denpasar.
We flew home that Saturday.
I shared a meme. It's something many of us do, have done, and perhaps we'll do it again. This meme was a reworking of a famous poem by German Pastor Martin Niemöller.
A message was then posted which questioned the post. I almost replied that the post was only shared, and not mine. That reply would have been disingenuous at best. I shared it because I agreed with the idea that we need to be both aware and caring. I have not identified the writer although I have put a part of his reply in quotes. I have left him anonymous, one because he's a friend and this is not a personal issue. It's a discussion. My second reason is that I hope that we can always approach things in a civil manner. If we lose the ability to communicate, we will eventually lose ourselves.
His reply was, "But what specific policy since Obama left has been anti-Jewish? What anti-Black? What anti-Muslim, all Muslims? What anti-all Mexicans? What anti-gay? Hoist on your own petard."
I have not presented a petard to be hoisted upon. Trump's campaign and his ongoing assault on propriety, common sense and your constitution are the problems before the world. What Trump will do to the world is the issue we will all face. Trump is like an elephant in musth. He seems to have little focus, no clear direction or objective. The ongoing blind destruction of policies and relationships, the trampling of enshrined rights, nor much else done by the newly minted president, don't seem to be an issue for some Americans.
The first steps to repeal the Affordable care Act, to roll back hard-won advances for LGBT rights, to imperil women's rights and health, to continue racial profiling, to deny climate change, to either defund or muzzle critical government services, to deny sanctuary to those in need, to violate treaty in order to violate both the environment and human dignity, and to smugly demand that UN member nations lock step with ill-considered and provocative statements. None of these things that have been put on paper, tweeted, broadcast, or signed as executive orders, should surprise anyone who has followed the campaign and has an inkling of the current administration. Governments disappoint us, but they usually parcel the pain out over an entire term.
Pastor Martin Niemöller's original poem has been referenced, and to be fair trotted out, numerous times in response to a variety of issues both political and social. Is it apt here? It is pertinent only in as much as one chooses to look at the situation, and consider, "what next?"
As long as we keep the lines of communication open, we have a chance. My greatest fear is of extremists on both sides who use any excuse to further an agenda. They spend more time shutting down discussion than considering their, and other, opinions. Here in Indonesia, we have some fairly radical organizations that shut down discussion through intimidation and by using the political and legal clout of highly placed friends. A local governor has been charged with blasphemy and there have been a number of large protests against him. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/27/indonesia-court-blasphemy-trial-ahok-jakarta-governor
That the governor is Chinese and Christian does not sit well with the leaders of these groups. Their organizations are in turn being used to further the political ambitions of a few highly placed, and somewhat convenient, friends of more recent vintage.
If America does not reinvigorate and safeguard its freedoms, its media, and its education system, with open and honest discourse then the world stands to lose a powerful instrument for positive personal, national, and global rebirth and innovation. America has been called the most powerful nation on Earth. The American President is regarded as the leader of the free world. He must be tasked to do better, for America and for the world.
Leadership is a responsibility, not a perk. We must all demand more of our leaders. We must hold our leaders to a higher standard. Whether we are American, Canadian, Japanese, German, European, British or Indonesian we must live deliberately in this moment. When we allow ourselves to be divided along religious, racial, national, economic and ideological lines we hasten the moment when we can be drawn and quartered along more personal lines.

Mechanic: If I were you I'd reschedule for later in the afternoon.
This is a good chance to try an activity on intent and inflection. Call a student aside and tell them to be happy when they read, tell the other to be angry. Next time try one sad and one happy. Try energetic and really tired. Ask the audience to judge how effectively the speakers communicated. Don't let the audience in on what the subtext is all about. With time, they can identify things for themselves.

In the years and centuries to come we will explore our solar system and reach beyond the incandescent majesty of our home star. We will stretch out with our will and our curiosity.
At our best we will be, at once innovative, steady and resourceful. As always, we will be prone to self-doubt and introspection.
It will be our disembodied intellects that will stride across alien deserts and sail the glittering seas of distant moons. While we propel ourselves infinitely across an inky void we cannot be oblivious to the needs and protection of our own fragile sphere.
We will need to enrich, renew, heal and listen to our home even as we seek to communicate with her counterparts.

The IDF recovered fragments of a Syrian surface-to-air missile that landed in the Golan Heights following reports of Israeli airstrikes in southern Syria, The Times of Israel reported Friday.
According to the IDF the remains of the missile landed in an open field and were being taken for further analysis by the military.
The UK-based Syria Observatory for Human Rights charged that Israeli planes targeted military sites of significance to Syria and Iran on Thursday night "for an hour."
The director of the observatory, Rami Abdel Rahman, said that Israeli planes struck at two targets in the Damascus region, including one believed to be an Iranian arms depot. Two Israeli missiles reportedly struck al-Kiswah at a location of a "weapons depots belonging to the Lebanese Hezbollah [terrorist group] as well as Iranian forces." Another missile reportedly struck Harfa, which is near the border with Israel, and is a Syrian military base.
Rahman said, "It appears the Israelis had intelligence that weapons had arrived there recently."
There were also reported blasts at the Damascus International Airport and at a town along the Damascus-Beirut highway, suggesting that Israel may have been tracking a recent arms shipment.
These are the first Israeli airstrikes since September, when Syrian anti-aircraft fire downed a Russian plane. Although the Israeli planes were no longer in the vicinity of the airstrikes, Russia blamed Israel for the lost aircraft.
Despite the tensions with Russia, tand he recent delivery of the S-300 advanced anti-aircraft missile batteries to the Syrian regime, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Israel would take whatever steps were "necessary" to protect its interests in Syria in the wake of the incident.

The purpose of this post is to get real estate agents and potential buyers to talk to communicate about what it will take to smash the ice off of this cold buyers market and thaw out all those potential buyers.
During our recent ice storm I observed that if one did not clear the ice and snow from the sidewalks on a regular basis the water just continue to accumulate and freeze layer upon layer. Even a little thawing during the day made the next days ice thicker and more treacherous after the nights hard freeze.
I wonder if the buyers out there aren't like the accumulating ice. Every time there is a little encouraging news (rates are a little lower, more homes are on the market, the federal government promises to do something) the buyers thaw just a little. However there is always a bunch of negative news on the economy that seems to make the ice on the buyer thinken just a little bit.
Is there something we as realtors can do to help this ice begin to thaw permanently or are we at the mercy of our federal governments policies.
I hate to be one who waits around for government policy to change hoping for something that will cause the big thaw.
I have always had more faith in the action of hardworking individuals than our government. So fellow realtors what can we do to help melt the icey climate that is affecting our buyers?
Here are two suggestions.
Do everything possible to honor the buyers we currently have. Begin to build a reputation of treating buyers like royalty. I still hear comments about buyers that show a certain hesitant attitude from many realtors. That is generally our own fault. Too many times we do not get our buyers qualified and we waste our time and theirs. Those who are qualified should be treated like the very precious people they are.
Write on our blogs and leave information wherever possible to help move up buyers understand THIS IS THE OPPORTUNE TIME. Selling and buying in a down market makes sense when you are moving to a more expensive home. We need to shout this from the roof tops!
What else can we do? Please if you have any suggestions share them with all of us Activerain readers.
Thanks, Paul
