HARNESS, Sir HENRY DRURY (1804–1883), general, colonel-commandant royal engineers, son of John Harness, esq., M.D., commissioner of the transport board, was born in 1804. William Harness [q. v.] was an elder brother. Harness passed high out of the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich in 1825, but had to wait two years for a commission. He employed the interval in study ing mining engineering among the silver mines of Mexico. On being gazetted a second lieutenant in the royal engineers on 24 May 1827, Harness returned to England and went through the usual course of study at Chatham. In 1828 he married Caroline, daughter of Thomas Edmonds of Cowbridge, Glamorganshire, and in 1829 went with his company to Bermuda. He was promoted lieutenant on 20 Sept. 1832, and on his return home in 1834 was appointed an instructor in fortification at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich. Here he remained for six years, and compiled a text-book which formed part of the course of study at the academy for the next twenty years. In 1840 Harness was appointed instructor in surveying at Chatham, and was promoted second-captain on 30 June 1843. In 1844 Harness went back to the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich as professor of fortification.
The next year he was appointed inspector of Welsh roads, with a view to assisting the county authorities in the rearrangement of the public roads consequent on the abolition of turnpikes. In 1846 he was appointed joint secretary with the Hon. F. Bruce to the new railway commission. When this commission became merged in a department of the board of trade, Harness remained as sole secretary.
Under an act to provide for the conveyance of the royal mails by railroad the remuneration to be paid to the railway companies was to be fixed by agreement, and Harness was appointed arbitrator for the post office, a very difficult duty, which he carried out with a result highly satisfactory and beneficial to the post office. He was promoted first captain on 20 Feb. 1847.
Harness was next called upon to reform the royal mint. The master of the mint in 1850 was a political officer whose responsibilities were limited to his parliamentary duties, and when Harness was made deputy-master he became virtually the head of the establishment. The mechanical operations of coining were at that time a matter of contract between the deputy-master and certain melters, assayers, and moneyers, who, besides enjoying considerable emoluments, claimed also a vested interest in the appointment of their successors. Harness had to substitute for this system a government department. During the progress of these reforms the master, Mr. Sheil,was appointed British minister at Florence. Sir John Herschel succeeded him, with no parliamentary responsibility. On the completion of the reorganisation in 1852 Herschel said that but for the resource and energy of Harness he could not have carried out the reforms so efficiently. Before Herschel's appointment Harness had been promised the mastership when the proposed abolition of a political head took place. He therefore considered himself superseded and resigned the position of deputy-master, although Lord Aberdeen, then prime minister, personally pressed him to remain. After declining the government of New Zealand, he accepted the appointment of commissioner of public works in Ireland, and remained in Ireland two years. In addition to his ordinary duties he, as a special commissioner, carried on an inquiry into the works of the arterial drainage of Ireland, and was a commissioner for the abolition of turnpike trusts.
On 20 June 1854 he was promoted brevet-major and on 13 Jan. 1855 lieutenant-colonel. He was then brought back to England to take charge of the fortification branch of the war office, under the inspector-general of fortifications, an office he held until the close of the Crimean war, when he was appointed commanding royal engineer at Malta.
On the outbreak of the Indian mutiny he was given the command of the royal engineers of the force, under Lord Clyde. He took part in the operations at Cawnpore, in the siege and capture of Lucknow, and the subsequent operations in Rohilkund and Oude. For his Indian services Harness was several times mentioned in despatches and was thanked by the governor-general in council. He was made a C.B., and received the medal and clasps.
In 1860, after his return from India, he was appointed director of the royal engineer establishment at Chatham (now the school of military engineering), which he succeeded in raising to a high pitch of excellence. He became a full colonel on 3 April 1862 and a major-general on 6 March 1868. On leaving Chatham he was appointed a member of the council for military education.
Shortly after the outbreak of the great cattle plague in 1866 Lord Granville invited Harness to become head of a new temporary department in the council office. According to the clerk of the council, Sir Arthur Helps, the privy council heard more plain truths from Harness than they were accustomed to. He declined the government of Bermuda and also of Guernsey. He was made a K.C.B. in 1873, and was awarded the good service pension. He was promoted lieutenant-general and made a colonel-commandant of the royal engineers in June 1877, and retired in October 1878 as a full general. He died on 10 Feb. 1883 at Barton End, Headington, Oxfordshire. On his death George Robert Gleig [q. v.], chaplain-general to the forces, wrote : 'I have lived long in the world and conversed with men of all orders of mind as well as of all professions, but among them I never found one in whose society I so much delighted as in his. His powers of narrative were remarkable. I invariably heard from him something which I loved to carry away. He was so gentle, so pure-minded, so simple in his- tastes, so just in his estimate of character.'
A portrait of Harness, painted by Mr. Archer, hangs in the mess of the royal engineers at Chatham.

One can never say Thank You too often. And gratitude is the essence of the Christian faith as expressed in and through the Catholic Church. Gratitude for God's love and gift of life and eternal life, gratitude for the gift of faith, gratitude for family and for friends, gratitude for the blessings God bestows on us—and that we are called to share with others.
This is the last Sunday of Advent, the month-long preparation for the Christmas celebration of the Incarnation of Christ—God into humanity. Let us ask ourselves, how did we use this time of preparation so as to prepare our hearts as a home for Christ? Soon it will become even more hectic and crazy, leaving very little time to think about the religious aspect of Christmas as we put up the tree, finish the shopping, and begin (I am way behind) the wrapping.
Pope Francis Proclaims a Jubilee On April 11, 2015, Divine Mercy Sunday, Pope Francis proclaimed that the Church would celebrate an extraordinary Jubilee. The Jubilee Year of Mercy will commence Tuesday, December 8, 2015 – the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It will conclude on November 20, 2016 – the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of the Universe.

Plages (1981)
Serge Garant
Commission: Orchestre des jeunes du Québec (OJQ)
Plages was written in July 1981 and premiered the same year, conducted by the composer.
The music is derived from a matrix, a group of five notes, which, by successive inversions and transpositions, generates a network of intervals extending over six octaves, using the augmented fourth F-B as center.
The work consists of a single movement separated in five sections (plages) which differ in length and orchestration. In each section, a different characteristic of the matrix is exploited as follows:
In the lower register of the orchestra, the original group of five notes, note by note, by successive entries interrupted by pauses.
In the high register, an inversion played by the strings followed by a transition played by brass and woodwinds;
By the woodwinds, in short rhythmic permutations of the matrix;
By the strings, in a more melodic version of the previous section, in retrograde;
By the full orchestra, in a very slow tempo.
In the coda, elements of sections 1 and 3 are restated while each string player chooses freely different transpositions of the original group and, in turn, basses and cellos, viola and violins disappear into silence.

HotelTonight Outlook — Travel's Best and Brightest Have a Say on Its Prospects
- Sep 11, 2017 2:30 am
Most of the travel brainiacs we consulted feel that HotelTonight has an uphill battle ahead, but as they say in baseball, that's why they play the games. In other words, maybe they're wrong, and HotelTonight will have the right stuff to persevere. The entire travel industry is watching.
HotelTonight burst on the scene nearly seven years ago as a unique and exquisite mobile- and tonight-only hotel booking app that spawned a host of competitors — startups and major players among them — all over the world.
Skift tech editor Sean O'Neill traced HotelTonight's evolution here, including its latest pivot into a hotel-booking service that enables guests to book hotels 100 days in advance.
Sam Shank, HotelTonight co-founder and CEO, posted a Reuters story on LinkedIn the other day that pointed out that the startup would now have to go head to head with Expedia and Booking.com.
Shank wrote: "Proud of the HotelTonight team and their relentless quest to reinvent the online travel agency for the mobile era. Great things ahead!"
But will HotelTonight wither at the prospect of directly competing with the Priceline Group and Expedia, which collectively spent roughly $6.5 billion on advertising in 2016, and is increasing that spend this year?
Will HotelTonight run into a brick wall on the customer acquisition front as Hipmunk did, and end up with an underwhelming exit for investors as Hipmunk did in 2016 as a tuck-in buy for SAP/Concur?
Shank argues that HotelTonight's mobile advantages will trump that marketing spend, and that curation beats inventory comprehensiveness. The latter has been a signature plank in the growth of online travel companies until now.
HotelTonight's prospects are hotly debated across the travel industry, and Skift reached out to assorted travel-industry brainiacs to weigh in with their ideas on what's ahead for HotelTonight. One of the things we asked them, too, was whether they thought there were parallels for HotelTonight in Hipmunk's exit, which is believed to have been for less than what its venture capitalist partners invested.
Here's what the travel intelligentsia said:
Adam Goldstein, Hipmunk CEO
Adam Goldstein: "Competition is tough in online travel. Every company needs to look carefully at how it can gain reach. In the past, we did it by expanding our verticals and platforms; now we're expanding our audience to small businesses with Concur Hipmunk."
Paul English, co-founder Kayak and Lola
Paul English: "One of the most brilliant things about HotelTonight is their name — it got them traction. I think they will have challenges stretching that brand to 100 days."
Asked why HotelTonight would have trouble transitioning to a 100-day booking window, English added:
"There is another issue for them as well. When they were niche and tonight only, they negotiated great rates on a small number of properties. It would be harder to do this at scale. But I think Sam [Shank] is amazing."
Steve Hafner, Kayak co-founder and CEO
Steve Hafner on the move to a 100-day booking: "It will help, but ultimately Sam has a losing hand. Next up…an HT website that accepts bookings."
Nadav Gur, Founder and CEO Servo Labs, WorldMate founder
Nadav Gur: Mobile as a platform has come of age. It's no longer a first-mover platform as it was when they [HotelTonight] got started, but rather a platform where to get customers you spend money — just like the Web. HT was great at moving fast and introducing a fresh business model and a fresh user experience, which allowed them initially to acquire users at a very low. That ended somewhere around 2014 and now it's back to the arbitrage between acquisition cost, conversion rate and margin — which Booking.com and Expedia excel in.
"[Now-Priceline Group CEO] Glenn Fogel told me in 2011 that 'unless you have inventory no one else has — it's virtually impossible to compete with us and Expedia.' HT had that in the last-minute inventory, but for Expedia and Booking this was not so hard to copy given their existing distribution relationships. And then it's back to my point about who optimizes acquisition cost versus margins.
"Personally, I also feel that for many of the original customers, this was a lifestyle product — stay at a posh hotel in your own town or its vicinity. That gets old eventually."
Max Rayner, Hudson Crossing Partner,Ex-CTO Travelzoo
Max Rayner: "HotelTonight is a good example of two big trends: The first trend is that if a travel distributor wants to take on the Big Three [Priceline, Expedia and Ctrip] and that will require near-prohibitive amounts of investment. Look for the example of MakeMyTrip having to take money from Ctrip to continue growing. But the second is that a loyal audience and/or access to relatively unique inventory are valuable assets that can allow a minnow to prosper among the sharks. That's where HotelTonight is 'making their bed,' betting that its core audience will now shop beyond 'tonight' without all the PPC [pay per click] costs of visit/booking acquisition that usually challenge smaller players.
"In a way, HotelTonight is now aiming for an outcome similar to Hipmunk's. Hipmunk was also not able to break through into the 'majors.' but managed to offer enough unique value that it became quite valuable for an acquirer at two levels: proven innovative features, and enough audience loyalty that it wasn't a bottomless pit of PPC spend."
Gillian Morris, founder of HItlist
Gillian Morris: "The two companies — HotelTonight and Hipmunk — couldn't be more different. Hipmunk was never distinct from the other metasearch engines: The 'agony' factor is a public relations gimmick that does not factor into most people's purchase decisions, and the display was novel to some but confusing to most. Fundamentally they were offering the same exact product with the same UX as every other metasearch engine where you search for a flight from A to B on X date [optional returning Y date]. They got as far as they did because of Alexis Ohanian's [Hupmunk chief marketing officer's] marketing prowess and the Silicon Valley echo chamber that rewarded them with enough dollars to artuget a lot of PR.
"HotelTonight was a differentiated product from the beginning, first for its focus on last- minute bookings at steep discounts, which others weren't offering at the time. Much more important was its decision to have a singular focus on mobile UX [user experience], and the product decisions that it made because of that: fewer, curated listings; a personalized log-in experience, and hassle-free booking.
"This focus on a good user experience has made them a hero among time-constrained higher-end travelers. I don't think Hipmunk ever had anything differentiated enough to get people coming back to the platform, but HotelTonight has true loyal evangelists."
Johannes Reck, GetYourGuide co-founder and CEO
Johannes Reck: "I think HT is a fantastic company that drove a tremendous amount of innovation in the mobile travel space. I love their user experience and product centricity. Also, Sam Shank is one of the best CEOs out there. He managed to completely turn the company around from a high-burner to break-even. That's an incredible accomplishment and anyone who's ever worked in a start-up company can attest to that.
"I think you're article overemphasises the fact that they weren't bought yet. Not every start-up wants to get bought (including GetYourGuide), as it means you give up control over how you develop your product.
"So in a nutshell, I think HT's prospects are great: They are still growing at a considerable pace, have a highly loyal user base and a superior mobile product. It's very likely HT can grow for a few more years and then go public."
Jen O'Neal, Tripping Founder and CEO
Jen O'Neal:"Playing in a hyper-competitive market is hard enough. Playing in a slice of that market is exponentially harder and could limit HotelTonight's longer-term growth potential. Opening up their booking window — and going after a larger market — is a smart move.
"We made a similar move early on at Tripping.com, when we pivoted from being a social travel site with a small market of mostly young backpackers to a becoming a metasearch site for vacation rentals with an enormous global market. Having been through the pains of a pivot, my advice is for them to move as fast as humanly possible right now, in full pursuit of their new direction.
"Sure, competition is stiff in the hotel space. But HotelTonight has three key things going for it: a beautiful product, solid (and growing) brand recognition and — most importantly — profits. If anyone stands a chance of going up against the big guys, it's Sam and his team. I wish them a ton of luck."
Dmitry Koltunov, co-founder and CTO of Alice
Dmitry Koltunov: ""Hipmunk and HotelTonight focus on solving different problems. At the core, Hipmunk optimizes the general search experience, helping consumers wade through all the options more intuitively. They gained market share by grouping and filtering travel options in a way that made sense, i.e. sorting by 'agony,' or removing travel options that were the same, but priced poorly. Growth for them was to get more clients — implying that UX would be able to defeat the big guys.
"HotelTonight solves the problem of curation and affordability with a slick user experience. They explicitly show a subset of hotels that can offer various levels of luxury, but all at a good price. Since curation is a part of the special sauce, expanding to longer range dates seems like a natural evolution. If guests like the HotelTonight selections and the UX they provide feels great, limiting options to 7-day booking prevents loyalty for trips planned ahead of time. Expanding the window could be a way for HotelTonight to capture more trips from the same loyal consumer base in addition to simply growing the customer base. It makes their product sticky."
Martin Soler, Dryven partner, managing partner Soler & Associates
Martin Soler: "In my opinion Both Hipmunk and HotelTonight stayed at the early adopter stages. They haven't 'crossed chasm' into mainstream use for hotels. Staying niche while the others moved on (Trivago, Skyscanner, for example).
"Hipmunk, as Skift pointed out, is pivoting to business travel. For HotelTonight, I'm not sure that will be an avenue unless they can prenegotiate rates en masse.
"It's an amazing achievement that they managed to stay around for so long and not get wiped out by the likes of Booking. Even to the point where Booking shut down their last-minute app, while they have all the inventory.
"Moving to 100 days is a step to moving mainstream. They [HotelTonight] need to become a mainstream channel for hotels and top of mind for consumers in a market where booking hotels is a once- or twice-a year activity, and that means high cost of acquisition. Corporate travel is more frequent but not necessarily a very mobile activity. I believe they're coming to a critical point where they need to make some choices that will reflect on their DNA and, more importantly, advertising budgets."
Roman Peskin, co-founder and former ceo dealAngel
Roman Peskin: "HotelTonight is a bit of an outlier in the business to consumer travel startup world. They didn't die and they are profitable, albeit marginally. One of the reasons for their modest success was that that its user experience is really freaking superior to practically anything out there. They did what startups should always be aiming at — they carved out a small niche market were they could dominate, and now they can expand into broader markets. However, it is doubtful they will be able to expand beyond a core base of consumer frequent travelers, who care about the aesthetics of user experience.
"Just like Hipmunk, HotelTonight could be utilized a lot better in the corporate travel space. Their streamlined user exerience and focus on curated offers is exactly what any major corporate TMC needs. There are two obstacles in this otherwise perfect mergers and acquisition situation: HotelTonight doesn't have flights. Corporate travel tools that don't have flights are dead on arrival. And expanding HT's functionality with a flight-booking engine of equal quality as its hotel product is not an easy task.
"Just like Skift said in a past article: they raised too much money, 2.5 times more than Hipmunk. It would be hard to swallow for most TMCs except for the largest three. But American Express Global Business Travel already made their bet on KDS Neo,
BCD acquired GetGoing's assets for cheap, although judging by the way they treat the product and the team, it is unlikely to ever become a big thing. I don't know much about Carlson Wagonlit Travel although based on Kurt Ekert's interview, I doubt they have their mind in the right place for such a bold move."
Joe Haslam, co-founder and chairman of Hot Hotels
Joe Haslam: "Companies like Hot and HotelTonight had a window when we both did well, but once the market switched from Web to mobile, the big guns followed and gobbled it up.
"Big Tech is moving from a mobile-first world to an AI- [Artificial Intelligence-] first world. Customer experiences like Paul English´s Lola will be the future.
"A mile down the road from HotelTonight is Uber. Watch Uber acquire companies like HotelTonight and put together the perfect trip experience. With [former Expedia CEO] Dara Khosrowshahi now in as CEO at Uber, they have the perfect guy to do it."
Justin Effon,co-founder and CEO of Alice
Justin Effon: "Things didn't turn out too poorly for Hipmunk — they found an acquirer. HotelTonight is in a different position than Hipmunk was: HT is profitable. [Editor's Note: Hipmunk claimed to be profitable from its early days.]
"But, in pivot, HT is becoming even more like an online travel agency and the online travel agency space is an established duopoly. Perhaps if HT does make headway here, it can hope for an acquisition [even if Shank prefers an IPO.]"

Hi, I am interested in your 1979 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible listed on Autotrader for $9,500. I'd like to get more information about this vehicle and confirm its availability.
1979 VW Karmann Cabriolet. This is the Dec. 79 production vehicle (last yr, last mo) from Germany w/ fuel injection. Purchased from the original owner w/ less than 50k 2 years ago. The car was sitting for a long time so it needed some work. It is reliable w/ no mechanical issues as I drive it every weekend. There are few areas where it's pitting but nothing major. I don't need help selling and I can only show the car on weekends.


This summer Mother of Pearl, an eco-friendly sustainability brand based out of London, launched an interiors collection comprised of luxury velvet cushions, round printed pouffes and soft silk quilts in signature Mother of Pearl prints.
Mother of Pearl interior design collection shot on the British seaside.
The cushions would appeal to fans who love rich, glittering textures and films like Marie Antoinette. Imagine lying your head on a plush cushion perched on top of a chaise.
Marie Antoinette the movie starring Kirsten Dunst.
All fantasy aside, Mother of Pearl is trying to spread the word about their new interiors line AND do some good. If you go to a Mother of Pearl store now and buy a velvet-y cushion and have it monogrammed a portion of the funds will go towards providing shelter to a young homeless person for a night.
There are about 35,000¹ young people in homeless accommodation at any one time across Britain and the numbers are increasing. And the death rate of the homeless has doubled² in the last five years with an average life expectancy of 43 years.
We know buying a cushion for a safe night's sleep won't solve the problem but it can help buy some time until we have a better, more permanent solution. To find out more about Mother of Pearl's new interior line and their support for those in crisis check out their website.

You can now buy Twitter followers - Macleans.ca
You can now buy Twitter followers
Might be a nice boost if you're running for president…
by Jesse Brown
On Twitter, where your face and name sit directly above your stats, it's bad etiquette to talk about your stats. Everyone wants followers, everyone pays close attention to how many followers they have and who their followers are. When you get a new follower, it's standard practice to check out how many followers that person has. Call it vanity, call it "the influence economy," call it what you will, but followers are the currency of Twitter, and it was only a matter of time until you could buy them with actual money.
Here's a dude who claims he can sell you up to 150,000 followers. To prove it, he has over 700,000 followers himself, whom he couldn't possibly have earned with his 65 semi-literate tweets. According to the Internet security researchers at Barracuda Labs, Twitter followers cost, on average $18 per 1000. Barracuda found 20 vendors selling Twitter followers on eBay, and 58 websites specializing in the trade. Here's a nifty infographic they released to illustrate their findings.
Of course, none of these buy-able followers are actual people. They are fake accounts, and no matter how many of them you buy, nobody will actually be reading all of your witty tweets. The idea is that other people, real people who visit your Twitter account will think that all of your followers are real, that they all care what you have to say, that you must be an important and influential and popular person. Who would be so insecure as to pay for something like that? Barracuda Labs points to this poor soul as an example.
So how are these fake accounts generated? Anyone with multiple email addresses can manually register a bunch of fake Twitter accounts, but in all likelihood, bulk vendors sell accounts that were created en masse by hackers who have automated the process of registering Twitter accounts and filling them with profile info and tweets.
At least, that's how they generate plausible fake followers. A sloppier hacker might simply use a bot to register thousands of fake accounts, leave them empty, and hope that nobody clicks through to examine them. These accounts are easily revealed as fakes, and Twitter is on the lookout for them. Once detected, they are removed.
One user recently had over 10,000 fake followers removed by Twitter after he suspiciously gained over 116,000 followers in one day. Barracuda Labs believes the number of fakes among his sudden new followers might be much higher, since 80 per cent of the new accounts were less than 3 months old, and 23 per cent of them hadn't written one tweet.
Who was this Twitter user with the obviously fake followers? @MittRomney.

After my climb of Kilimanjaro, I made my way back to Arusha. From here I was heading for a rendezvous with Neil and Sara on Zanzibar, an island off the east coast of Tanzania. I took the first morning "express deluxe" bus from Arusha to Dar es Salaam. An African bus station is certainly a site not to be missed. They can't of course be organized in any manner. Basically you know your bus is leaving the station, but so are 50 other buses. They don't depart from a set spot, they kind of idle, lurch and circle around in a decidedly chaotic manner. Street vendors wander from bus to bus, selling food, drink, and super glue to the bus passengers. I found my bus with the help of my taxi driver and another local "guide" (for a tip of course).
Neil and Sara wandering the street of Zanzibar city.
I eventually, after several attempts, found the hotel Neil, Sara and I were staying in. Neil and Sara returned from their tour, they had arrived in Zanzibar just the pervious day. They were delayed in Dar while they tried to get replacement airline tickets for Sara. On the bus from Arusha, they had their day packs in the overhead bins above them. The bus was stopped in Moshi to pick up more passengers, Neil checked the packs, yep still there. Five seconds later, one pack had vanished. The thief didn't get much else except the souvenirs Sara had bought in Vic Falls, they sure must've been pissed to find a wood elephant and not the gold and jewels we mzungus usually carry around.
Preparing my mask with the patented spit defogging agent.
The next day we went on a scuba/snorkeling trip with the Australians. The reef around Zanzibar is quite nice and the visibility was excellent. We did some curio shopping after the dive trip, always bartering the prices down to or 1/3 original price. Neil and Sara eventually closed a package curio deal with a vendor know as Mr. Cheapo, finishing their shopping requirements. I went back to Mr. Cheapo the next day to negotiate my own super duper deal.
Neil and the Australian hanging out in the water.
We visited the waterfront area for dinner, all the local vendors are out selling fried squid tentacles, calamarie, sugar cane juice and other interesting dishes. We met a young Tanzanian kid who followed us around all evening. As far as we could tell, he had no ulterior motive, he just wanted to practice his English, his dream was to go to America someday.
Our next day, we had a taxi take us to the south part of the island. Here you can rent snorkel gear and head out on a boat to swim with the dolphins. Our boat had to stop several times on the way out for spot repairs to be made to our outboard motor. We finally reached an area with dolphins, I jumped out and started the chase. Those dolphins make it look easy, you can be swimming full bore after one while they lazily swim along, toying with you, then they turn on the afterburners and they disappear in the distance. I never got close enough to touch one, but I got within a few yards.
On our last day in Africa we took a dhow over to a beach island. We rented a little grass shelter, complete with hammock. We relaxed all day- dozing, swimming, playing frisbee, and boogie boarding. Neil and Sara flew home the next day, while I had to wait one more day for my flight.
On the ride to the airport, I realized I was sick of Africa. The sight of all the people, bikes, cattle, roadside shacks, it just started to annoy me. Culture shock on the last day, pretty convenient timing, makes it easy to leave. I sat at the Dar airport, waiting and waiting for my flight. I was pretty down on Africa when a Tanzanian business man sat down near me. He greeted my in Swahili, I responded with what little Swahili I had learned. He was an interesting guy, working for the agricultural ministry, going to Amsterdam for 3 months of classes. He had a leather handbag, that was his luggage, all of it. He laughed, "You mzungus always carry around so much stuff", pointing at my big checked bag and carry-on. Yeah, I guess we do; spare batteries, sun cream, insect repellent, sterile syringes, clothesline, a hundred other "necessities". What would it be like to head off to a distant land carrying just a small handbag? No space ship of western essentials. Thanks for the inspiration buddy.

Hello blog readers! How is the beginning of your week going? So far things are falling into place for me – always a good thing.
I was not a good meal planner this weekend for the work week, so I had to buy lunch at the caf today. Thankfully I lucked out with this wonderful piece of pizza (A Bianca pizza – spinach cheese!) It was delicious and I loved it – and it was even better with the bit of hot sauce that I added.
I made up for having not the healthiest lunch by having a hearty and wonderfully fresh salad for dinner. Mom was my hero last night – she went to the market and picked up vegetables and turkey for salads and had the eggs boiling when I got home. I helped her chop the vegetables and make the salads. They were so good!!
This smoothie was pretty! The ingredients listed above make two good sized smoothies. My to go container was full this morning!
I hope you are having a good day so far – see you tonight for a full update on a dinner that has a lot of promise! See you soon!
Next Post Stay cool, bunnies!

Splendies is a monthly subscription site for underwear. Each month, they sent you three pairs of fun and colorful underwear.
The best part is that it is so affordable! One month is only $8 which to me, is very affordable. Also, you can save $4 off your first month using the code SPLENDIES to try out this service.
You can cancel your subscription at anytime. The subscription comes with free shipping. Your Splendies package will come with three pairs of underwear from different brands. You may get a pair of boy shorts, thongs or briefs in different materials such as lace or cotton.
Splendies come in sizes small to extra-large. If you need another size, check out their other company Volupties which carries plus sized underwear.
The underwear that I was sent seems to be pretty good quality. I like that they are different fun colors as well. Check out Splendies for more information.
These look awesome. I pinned it to my future purchases. Nice gift too.


It is very important to look at the past records of all the candidates who are running for President and Cory Booker's record is not good. This is especially true when it comes to education. In fact, Cory Booker praises Betsy DeVos and he served with her on the Alliance for School Choice between 2004 and 2008. Of coarse he is walking that back now, but that just shows that he knows he was wrong. He is also on record for his praise for Bain Capital against Barack Obama on Meet the Press during the 2007 primaries. My hope is that Cory Booker, and Kamala Harris split the Neoliberal vote.

This is the second installment of this segment which will chronicle the very best dapper and elegance in classic movies. Jane Russell is a lady that turned heads for her looks right from the very beginning. Howard Hughes found her in a nationwide search for a buxum beauty where she landed her first starring role in his film "The Outlaw" (1943). Howard created a special bra with wiring for Jane that would create such a stir it would not come back into official release until 1950. One can already see that Jane Russell had from the very beginning a stamp in the style department and got many people's attention.
Jane continued to star in very stylish films such as "Macao" (1952) starring alongside Robert Mitchum one of her best leading men. Then it was a continued success with the funny Bob Hope in "Son of Paleface" (1952) then a year later it was her most successful film and co-star to date whom was none other than Marilyn Monroe in "Gentleman Prefer Blondes" (1953). Travilla created the beautiful outfits for both Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe.
Jane then filmed "The Tall Men" (1955) with Clark Cable with Travilla once again doing the costumes. Then it was off to do "Gentlemen Marry Brunettes" (1955) with Jeanne Crain with Travilla again doing the costumes which as one can tell was a great relationship between Russell and Travilla. This legendary star whom started out as a elegant lady with the right looks to turn heads continued through out her career to always do the same, look beautiful while being her brash and smart self while being stylish!

It is really obvious. it means that it sis conspicuous and that it is easily seen like when women get plastic surgery on their face. Or too much plastic surgery in one spot, more like. And then you have people who want to be Not obvious and they are easily seen and would make awful spies. Can you belive those people? They don't even compare to James Bond…Oh yeah.
By michelle on 12.25.2010
obviously the oblivious is centered in the mind. The necessary, an incumbent partner. Which to choose? Fallacy over fact.
By Gregor on 12.25.2010
It wasn't that obvious to Ian and myself that we had a lot more presents than we thought; or that our combined families actually went out of their way to take care of our needs this year. But with the medical bills and everything else (plus the wedding earlier this year)… I am so thankful for both sides. Now, more than ever, I think it is obvious how much we are blessed.
P.S. Yay, I got a vacuum!

It seems obvious that everyone is different, yet it is still a major problem for people to not assume that everyone else is just like them. "Merry Christmas!" they say, but do they really know that I am Christian and celebrate Christmas?

Like everything with you is.It's all in front of me, it's all there shouting, telling me what we are, but no, i'm seeing it how i want it.Not how it truly is.

It was obvious she like him. You could tell by the way she twirlled her hair around her finger, batted her eyes when he was around, and in how she carried herself in his presence. She was lovestruck. But did he like her back? That was the real question. Maybe he did. But maybe he didn't. I guess she'll never know, seeing that she was too shy to ask.
By Andrea on 12.25.2010
Tings are obviously not what they seem, but most of the time people think that everything s as simple as "I see it, so it must be real." And "I don't see it, so it can't exist." You know? It's ridiculous, and very ill-minded of most human people. Personally, I believe you have to go deeper to know what life is like.
By Brandon H. on 12.25.2010
the obvious is hidden from the seeking eye, blinded the truth is incarcerated and infatuated with an inflated sense of worth, we pretend to ignore the caterwaul, we feed on the absence of intelligence because it's easier to remain the dark then look into the blinding light.
By gFDhafhadfh on 12.25.2010
I thought it was obvious that things had gone wrong. The oven wasn't working. The rest of the food was burnt. Whoever decided to have us host dinner was obviously out of their minds. We were not cooks.
By athena URL on 12.25.2010
It may seem to you that this is simple, uninteresting and perhaps even a bit stupid. But it is not. It is much more than that. I cannot describe quite how strange it was to see her lying there. You'd never think that you'd notice straight away, but I did. It was the water. It was completely still. So very strange. But then again, it should have been obivous.
By S.C. Kelly on 12.25.2010
isn't it? its Christmas again and then its over. What are you going to be for Holloween?
By LJ URL on 12.25.2010
It should have been obvious. I don't know why I hadn't seen the signs. The social withdrawal, the mood swings… it was practically screaming at me. I sat down and put my face in my hands. What was I going to do now? How had I let it get this far? I laid down on the bench and stared up at the lofted ceiling.
By LaurenJ813 URL on 12.25.2010
It's obvious when you love someone, It shows clearly on your face and through your actions. People around you notice and take note. There's no way to avoid it, It just happens.
By Nevaeh on 12.25.2010
state the obvious. obviously captain obvious. it would be the obvious thing to do. obviously the door was open. when it became obvious the water pipe was broken, she turned the main valve off. could it be any more obvious?

Yet he couldn't understand the nature of her mirth.
Words could escape the constricting muscles of her throat, had she only tried to form the syllables.
But she couldn't fight the love that bubbled up from wells hidden in the most hard to reach places of her heart.
"It should be obvious," she thought. "I'm completely head over heels."

It's pretty obvious for someone to realize that I'm really not going anywhere in life. I smoke, do drugs, drink, ect. I fail most of my classes and don't even care about my education.

It's been sitting on the counter since the day she got back home. It was wrapped when she first got back, but it's not now, and she knows it's because her little brother unwrapped it. It's a box, just black and small, and made of suede. It's the box that holds what people called her destiny. But it's not something she wants to open, because it's impossible to tell him no, now. It's the obvious choice, and he was the obvious choice…but nothing's so obvious now that he's dead.
Marry me?

It was obvious he was watching her from across the dance floor as he casually sipped his drink, but the young flapper didn't seem to notice. No, she was tied up in dances of the Charleston and the drinks men offered her. She was tied up in the jazz and the booze, but not him…or so he thought. A smirk formed on his face and he watched her his icy gaze raking over her body as she walked over to him and hopped up, sitting on the table he sat at. She smirked down at him, her green eyes sparkling. "Buy me a drink?"

Obvious is a word that means simply to be very straightforward. If something is very obvious, it is supposed to be very easy to see, yet some people miss these things.
By PZ on 12.25.2010
it always is, isn't it? I think that if people spent a little time just looking below the surface of anything, absolutely anything, from a shrug in response to an 'are you ok' to a report on the news the world would be a much better place.
By Katharine URL on 12.25.2010
So Obvious , How You Do Her , So Obvious . She Doesnt Even relize It , And You Dont Even Care , Its Disgusting , I Cant Belive You , The One Person Who Said They Werent Like That , And You Do What You Do Anyways , Psshhh ! You Really Digust Me ,

it's not clear why i hate her. i mean, there's the obvious reason, that she was the one he cheated on me with. but the thing is, it's two years later and i'm still writing about her, not thinking about him.
i think what made me hate her so much is that she changed him; we could have been together forever and she took that opportunity away from me, she erased that possibility from my future.
By lynn on 12.25.2010
Well everyone thinks that things are obvious. It is society and the stereotypes that tell us the predictable way that things will go. That is what obvious really is, duh. NO. I have decided to think things differently. I am alive. I don't follow. I don't expect. Obvious is just a word.
By Annuka on 12.25.2010
You are obviously wrong on the matter. You never seem to understand what is going on around you. You are completely oblivious of the world around you. Open your eyes. There is a lot to see and you are years behind the rest of us.
By Chris on 12.25.2010
everything.
We are simply nothing but we are also something.
Look, watch, pay close attention.
By KatherineEmm URL on 12.25.2010
well its plain and simple to see isn't it really…blatant even,what more could i say, without stating it,this is why i love you because you are simply the one i want and need always even if you are out of my reach
By adrian weeden on 12.25.2010
Its obvious I have no idea what I'm doing. This is one of those moments where you go with the flow and don't even think about what your doing or what will happen when you get there.
By Na on 12.25.2010
I have many thing to say thati don't even know where to start. I wish things where Easter to say
By Beatriz on 12.25.2010
its the choice you think of subconciously. there's no steering wheel for what needs to be said..done…your heart or your brain just takes direction. its not always the best choice, but its seldom the wrong one.
By Sara on 12.25.2010
I don't like when things are obvious. But maybe I do. What I don't like is being aware of obvious flaws with myself. What I like is to know exactly what my goal is. I feel my mind is confused. I wish it felt like things were more obvious.
By Kristine on 12.25.2010
When a friend is in need, it's obvious. Do you notice?
By Melissa URL on 12.25.2010
clear and transparent behaviour or meaning
something so clear its ridiculous
By Eleanor on 12.25.2010
Something I should have seen coming.. It's odd that it has a negative connotation but strangely comforting that it does. When "Obviousness" comes into play we are highlighting our oversight or stupidity in something we should have seen or known instead of realizing the obvious
By nikki on 12.25.2010
It's obvious that this is not the only place i am. I see places of sugar and wealth. I see many monkeys but none seem to care about me. It's obvious i'm elsewhere. My female hero fills me with brown sugar. It's obvious that i'm unending.
By Kalle Kromann on 12.25.2010
It's obvious that I have no idea what to write about sense I'm writing about what I don't know what to write about. I could write the definition…but what's the fun in that right? Oh well It's also obvious that I am really tired and don't know what to say. (:
By Erica Judy on 12.25.2010
Well, it wasn't obvious to me at all. It just didn't add up. How come everyone around me just didn't see it. Were they blind? I didn't know how to convince them that these visitors were not human.
By Helen URL on 12.25.2010
obviously everything is not as obvious as it seems. Obviously I'm here writing about this word, but it's hard to write because there are so many other distractions. The voices, the noises, chatter, chatter, I obviously don't care what you are talking about. I'm obviously typing something vigorously.
By Darling on 12.25.2010
Seeing him, I know the truth. His hand tucked carefully into his pocket. His eyes wandering, afraid to make eye contact. And yet… He catches my eye, stares deeply into my soul. I can see his thoughts laid out clearly. I can read him like a book. And I'm loving every thought I'm reading.
By Joann on 12.25.2010
it was so obvious, but it took me 4 months to see it.
when you realize you are just tired of being with someone. when you think that it isn't worth it, when you don't want to fight for it anymore, maybe it's time to stop.
By james on 12.25.2010
I think that it must be obvious that I have Asperger's Syndrome. I mean, come on, I struggle with communication and interpersonal relations. People MUST think that SOMETHING is wrong. But they think I am just strange…
