Valentines Day is right around the corner and I'm dedicating this post to all the fella's out there needing help with their Valentines plans. With the Missus being the one bringing home the vegan bacon, its up to me to bring the romance on Valentines, so I have some experience in the area. Fortunately for me, the wife has had a favorite Valentines treat for the 12 years we've been together and it makes life easy. All she wants on Valentines Day is spicy hot italian sausage. Not just any spicy hot italian sausage mind you, but my spicy hot italian sausage.
What makes my spicy hot italian sausage so special? It's the perfect size, long & thick, and firm yet pliable, more than filling without leaving one feeling overstuffed. Being from southern Italy, my spicy hot italian sausage has a touch of boerewors in it, giving it some extra flava'. Fitting perfectly in the mouth, women love the texture on their tongues and the way the warm gooey sauce hits the back of their throats as they bite down.
But you're sayin' "Felipe, I don't have a spicy hot italian sausage!" Fear not my testosterone addled brothers, whether you have a bratwurst, a banger or chorizo, the truth is most of our better halves will love the sausage you have for them. Well except for cocktail wieners. Not that women can't love them, it just takes a special woman to live solely with cocktail wieners. If that's all you have, you could experiment with other sausages, though you might want to be careful with the boerewors sausage from South Africa. Legend says women that have tried it have had a hard time enjoying any other types of sausages after that experience.
Wow writing this post has made me mmmmm……..hungry………very hungry. I hear the woman comin' in and she'll be looking for her spicy hot italian sausage. She's has that ravenous look in her eyes, I'm gonna have to supersize it. Better get cookin'.
yeah baby let's get cookin'.……………..
Preheat broiler while heating sausages, peppers and tomato sauce in a skillet. When warm, layer sausages, peppers and sauce into a split hogie roll. Cover sausage/peppers with Tofutti slices, broil until the 'cheese' has melted.

On The Road With Bugatti Chiron
By Tim Lappen | January 9, 2019

I love invitations, don't you? They all start out about the same way but the fifth word in is critical. I mean, "Would you like to" is a nice beginning but where they go from there can make all of the difference in the world. For example, if it continues "run with me for 26.2 miles" or "join Weight Watchers starting on Saturday" or "see my home movies", that may not be something which you'd jump at. Fortunately for me, since I do live in AutoLand (metaphorically and literally), many times that tantalizing lead is followed by something automotive. And luckily for me, the invitation just prior to the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance continued on with "drive the Bugatti Chiron on a 2-1/2 hour leg of the trip from Los Angeles to Pebble Beach." This is a supersonic vehicle which can go 0-60 in under 2.5 seconds and, yet, I beat that mark as my reply was delivered in about one second – "hell yeah!".
To provide a bit of color here – Bugatti has been my most-favorite marque since I was a child. I was fortunate to have a neighbor family which loved cars and their teenage son had – incredibly enough – a Type 35B Bugatti. Now before you go all "affluenza" on me, note that I am of a certain age so that my neighbor had what was then a "nice older car". I assume that it was worth a few thousand dollars then as the Type 35B which won the inaugural Monaco Grand Prix in 1928 – arguably one of the most important Bugattis of all time — reportedly sold for 120 francs at a tax sale in 1954. So back to my youthful imprint story.
The car made a certain unusual sound, which became my siren's call, and I would race to the end of my driveway to see it go by. And it wasn't only the sound that spoke to me – the Bug was everything that a race car should be, and nothing more. Even to my prepubescent eye, it had perfect proportions. It also burned oil in copious amounts such that, long after it had disappeared from sight, the cloying smell of burning castor oil (the Castrol predecessor) hung in the air.
Thus, with my lifelong love affair with Etorre's finest machines firmly set in the region of the brain devoted to automobiles, let's fast forward to my trip to France to experience the Bugatti Veyron, the company's first modern-day production car. The one I drove was the Grand Sport Vitesse version – the initial Veyron had 1,001 horsepower but the Grand Sport Vitesse upped it to 1,200 ponies. The experience of piloting that mythical car on the roads around Provence was exceeded only by 202MPH on the backstretch of Circuit Paul Ricard. That trip remains the highlight of my automotive journalist career but there are a few which come in right behind that, and this story is about one of them.
To replace the Veyron (which was in production from 2005 through 2015, if you include the few variants), Bugatti created the Chiron which, like the Veyron, is named after a famous Bugatti race driver from the past. The Chiron takes off (literally) from where the Veyron passed the baton. It's still a W-16 engine (16 cylinders!) but it's now at 1,500 horsepower. It has an eight-liter displacement and uses four turbochargers. While Bugatti doesn't advertise its acceleration or top speed achievements, it's clearly faster than the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse that I drove a few years before, which would mean 0-60 in under 2.5 seconds and a top speed above 268MPH (that's not a typo!).
So of course, I said "yes" to the invitation to drive it!
The Chiron is a vehicle about which you truly could say that there's nothing which was compromised in order to meet a budget. The leather is sumptuous, the seats beyond comfortable, the fit and finish superb, the ergonomics outstanding, the body sleek sinuous and gorgeous – it's all there. I felt immediately at home and felt a huge rush just when firing up the engine. My co-pilot, the great Andy Wallace, a professional racer who is Bugatti's test driver, showed me a few things which had changed since my Veyron drives (I was lucky enough to have several different opportunities) and off we went. And I mean OFF.
Interestingly, the car is so sure-footed and capable that it's actually very easy to drive. The transmission shifts are automatic (unless the driver chooses to use the paddle shifters), the steering direct, the suspension so sophisticated that its work is completely behind the scenes and all you know is that it's taking care of business.
Whenever I mention Bugattis, people ask "How fast did you go?" This time I was better behaved, in no small part because of the plethora of polizia in the area. It was the Thursday of Car Week so everybody who had an exotic car was wending his way northward from Los Angeles. I saw gaggles of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins, Porsches and the like, and boy was it fun to pass the whole group at once! With the Chiron, you can go from the speed limit to a multiple of that in the blink of an eye and then get back down to the limit so quickly that should anyone, say, have a radar gun pointed your way, it will seem like an electronic glitch. At least, that's what I told myself and I lived to tell the tale.
How to describe the indescribable? Well, with the Chiron, let's start with this — your body experiences what your mind can't really comprehend! It's like "I am here but now I am there and I can't figure out how that happened!" Neo would understand. With all-wheel drive and more computers than a Space Shuttle, the Bugatti wizards have figured out how to put 1,500 horses and 1,180 pound-feet of torque to work with so little drama that it's the closest thing to an automotive miracle that I've experienced. On the other hand, a statement like "Sorry, officer, but it didn't feel like I was going that fast" probably wouldn't fly. Suffice to say, the Chiron is my new favorite ride.
Even Before SIHH Starts One Thing Is Clear: Blue Remains The New Black!

If you follow me on Instgram (well you are totes missing out on a lot if you don't already!), you know I was present at the launch of Himalaya's latest product – the Himalaya Fresh Start range of face washes yesterday. And going by the stories you kinda must have already gauged how it was an afternoon complete with all things fun!
If you like me have been a loyal Himalaya Neem Face Wash user you know how the product has been an absolute boon to anyone with oily skin (ahem, me!). And as someone who has constantly struggled with oily skin and the resulting acne, I was beyond excited to see one of the most trusted brands out there adding not one or two but four new products to its range dedicated to the woes of everyone out there with oily skin! So the new range of Himalaya Fresh Start Oil Clear Face Wash is all about 'Stay Oil-Clear Stay Fresh' and this just becomes a lot more fun when it comes in flavors ranging from strawberry to peach and lemon to blueberry.
While I definitely have a lot to say about the ingredients and the what and how, I think it's only fair to take a moment to stop and talk about the packaging. A clear departure from the trademark Himalaya packaging, the Stay Fresh range is fun, quirky and and absolutely striking. I love myself well packaged bath and skincare products and this one definitely caught my attention with its quirky design and color ethos. Just what you need for that instant pick me up!
Now moving on to the range, the Fresh Start Oil Clear Face Wash is specially formulated with a unique blend of natural fruits with its USP being the addition of natural beads. Now this means that every time you wash your face, you get the benefits of a face wash + scrub in one go. And for any low maintenance girl out there, this is a win-win situation. Also, as it is with any Himalaya product, this range of face wash is complete with all things natural and the result is soft and healthy skin sans any oil residue in under a couple of minutes!
I couldn't wait to try the range so I obviously got myself to use them before filing this blog post and it's safe to say that I loved the product! All the variants smell absolutely fresh and do the job to the T. Also, when you find that one product that works for you, it's only fun to switch things up with different variants once in a while to break the monotony. So I love that within the same range you have so many options to choose from here. If you are an oily skinned girl or just like yourself a good face wash that not only looks and smells good but also does the job it claims to do – you must give this range a try.
Strawberry: Known to possess skin-conditioning properties, Strawberry helps enhance the appearance of facial skin and restore suppleness. Click here to buy.
Blueberry: The fruit contains a rich store of nutrients and antioxidants that exhibit skin-conditioning properties. Click here to buy.
Lemon: Widely used in cosmetics for its great skin-conditioning properties, Lemon has refreshing and astringent properties which help reduce excess facial oil. Click here to buy.
Peach: Containing skin-conditioning properties, Peach enhances the appearance of the skin and restores skin softness and suppleness. Click here to buy.
What do you think you'd like to try first? I loved using the strawberry and bluberry variants!!

New Legislation Aims to Avert Arctic Giveway to 'Corporate Polluters' Sneaked Into GOP Tax Scam
Climate, Crony Capitalism, News / February 12, 2019 February 12, 2019
NorthBay's Rep. Jared Huffman introduces new legislation! "
"Ever since drilling proponents sneaked an Arctic Refuge leasing provision into the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Trump administration has been moving aggressively to rush through the required Environmental Impact Statement," the group writes in an open letter. Summing up the catastrophic impact of the proposed extraction, they note:
Fossil fuel development in the Coastal Plain would devastate an Arctic nursery of global significance. It would violate human rights, jeopardize food security, and threaten the health and safety of Indigenous communities. It would contribute to the escalating crises of climate change and biological annihilation. The Arctic Refuge is an irreplaceable ecological treasure. Its fate should not be decided on an expedited timeline that prioritizes outcome over process to benefit the oil industry and its allies."
Announcement comes as scholars warn fossil fuel drilling in Arctic refuge "would contribute to the escalating crises of climate change and biological annihilation."
Andrea Germanos, staff writer

New legislation sponsored by Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) aims to make sure that doesn't happen. (Photo: G MacRae/flickr/cc)
Conservation groups are cheering the introduction on Monday of a measure to stop fossil fuel extraction in a section of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).
"This bill calls a halt to the administration's headlong rush to sell off this special wilderness to corporate polluters," said John Bowman, senior director for federal affairs at the Natural Resources Defense Council. "And it preserves the fundamental human rights of the Gwich'in people whom these lands have sustained for thousands of years, and who—among two-thirds of all Americans—oppose drilling in the Arctic Refuge."
The legislation is a renewed effort by Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.), and would repeal a provision included in the GOP's 2017 tax bill (pdf). Denounced as "a Big Oil polar payout," the provision opens the refuge's coastal plain to oil and gas exploration and drilling.
"I have seen the coastal plain," said Stan Senner, vice president for bird conservation at National Audubon Society, "and it makes no sense to drill for oil in this unique landscape. Even one season of exploration, to say nothing of full-scale development, will scar it for decades."
The impact could be "catastrophe," said Erik DuMont, public lands campaign director for Environment America.
"Drilling in this area would likely displace the Porcupine caribou herd from their prime calving grounds, leading to a decrease in the survival rate of the calves and decimating the overall size of the herd. But that's just the start," DuMont explained. "It would disrupt nesting grounds for dozens of species of migratory birds who flock there from every U.S. state and six continents. And, even just doing seismic testing, would likely cause irreparable harm to our iconic polar bears."

.@RepHuffman announces introduction of the Arctic Cultural and Coastal Plain Protection Act, bipartisan legislation to restore protections to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge #ProtecttheArctic
Rep. Alan Lowenthal
✔ @RepLowenthal
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge should never have been opened to oil & gas exploration. Shortsighted political deals place vulnerable ecosystems and communities in serious jeopardy—I'm proud to stand with my colleagues to fight to restore protections.
The announcement of the new legislation comes the same day as a group of teachers and scholars detail their opposition to fossil fuel exploration and drilling in ANWR's coastal plain.
The letter will be submitted to the Bureau of Land Management on March 13, 2019, the last day to provide for public comment on the draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program.
FULL STORY & COMMENTS


New Jersey recently enacted two new pieces of legislation which will affect nearly all employers. On April 24, 2018, Governor Murphy signed into law the Diane B. Allen Equal Pay Act (the New Jersey Equal Pay Act or Act) and on May 2, 2018, The New Jersey Paid Sick Leave Act.
Following in the footsteps of many other states, New Jersey is proposing legalizing recreational use and possession of marijuana. Medical marijuana is currently dispensed at various locations throughout the state. However, until legislation is actually passed, an individual still faces significant legal and financial consequences if arrested for marijuana possession without a prescription in New Jersey.
On December 22, President Trump signed into law the most sweeping overhaul of the tax system in more than 30 years - H.R. 1, also known as the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act". Passage of the tax bill marked the culmination of the President's first major legislative achievement nearly one year into his first term.

Ferrari exotic car rental in Miami
There's nothing quite like it
If you've already experienced the thrill of driving a Ferrari exotic car. you already know that there's little that can top it. For those who haven't, hiring a Ferrari and spending the day driving around Miami is especially exhilarating.

They'll listen enthusiastically to your requirements, then set about exceeding your expectations to provide you with the perfect choice of rental.
Not just a driving experience
When you rent a Ferrari, you're really buying into the history, styling and power which has been meticulously crafted over many years. These cars were built for racing, whilst ensuring design specifications that would turn any head.
The City of Miami may not quite provide a racetrack experience, but when you consider the quality of the roads and the surrounding landmarks, it doesn't have to be about speed.
The torque these powerful cars produce, along with their handling, guarantees an adrenaline rush like no other.
Some Ferrari exotic car rentals you might want to consider
Looking for ultimate power? The Ferrari 488 Spider provides an 'effortless' driving experience. This open-top sportscar is powered by a 3902cc turbo-charged V8 engine which gets you from 0 to 100kmh in just 3 seconds. It's no wonder that this incredible manufacturer has racked up the most Formula One wins.
Want a real head turner? How about the F12tdf? This car was built as a homage to the Tour de France. Only 799 have ever been built, so as far as uniqueness goes, it's unlikely the average man in the street has ever seen one. Sophisticated style, coupled with tremendous handling and performance, this is a car to be seen in – and heard.
Fancy something a little more laidback in the looks department? You won't go wrong with the California Cabrio. With its sleek, ultra-stylish lines and stunning interior you'll happily drive around town, not failing to impress anyone who spots you.

Why rent a exotic car.
Exotic Cars are the stuff of dreams. But buying and owning one could be your bank manager's worst nightmare. Which is why more and more people are looking to rent one for those special occasions, when they can really enjoy them.
Exotic Cars don't come cheap, with list prices frequently north of $100,000. But if you crave owning one of these fantasy machines, the chances are you'd rather have a brand new and completely personal one; meaning the second hand market for them isn't as strong as you might expect. Even if you're cash rich, it can be galling to lose many thousands of pounds the instant you drive off the forecourt for the first time.
Many exotic exotic car. have highly specialised parts that are pricey to replace – even down to simple things like the tyres and engine oils. And you often need specialist knowledge in order to complete servicing and maintenance on them. So the regular upkeep that these demanding cars require can cost a pretty penny.
Insurers are famously risk-averse, and exotic car. are the sort of car that perfectly exemplify everything they fear most: rapid, engineered for supreme handling, irresistible to thieves and expensive to repair. It can make insuring one enormously costly – especially if you live in an area that attracts higher premiums, like a busy city with narrow streets, or a rural country location punctuated by sweeping blind bends.
Familiarity breeds contempt, as the saying goes, and renting a exotic car for a weekend here or there means you can chop and change as often as you like. If you find that your chosen model is less comfortable or practical than you'd hoped, you can hand the keys back in a matter of days.
The look-at-me factor is part of the exotic car appeal, but standing out from the crowd is a double-edged sword. Before long, neighbours and other locals could start to recognise your movements. But if you only have the car for a few days or weeks at a time, there's far less chance of that happening.
Long-term affordability
The majority of new cars in Miami are sold on finance – allowing us to afford more expensive cars than our bank balances strictly allow. These deals often last years at a time, tying you into a contract that you can afford right now, but may not if the sun isn't shining so brightly.
Find out more about the benefits of renting a exotic car for just a few days or weeks at a time through Miami Lusso. Our list of available exotic car. includes models from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, McLaren, Aston Martin, Koenigsegg and others.
The BMW i8 Exotic Car is considered to be stunning piece of art that is both futuristic and breathtaking in designs and looks. It is the very initial plug-in hybrid exotic car launched from the stable i8 of BMW. However, its concept is quite old and had its debut in the Hollywood movie "Mission Impossible".
Its exterior is the low-slung coupe type make-up that is clothed with blue accents and silver shades that offer it that perfect stance. Aluminum and carbon fiber were used in a wide range of its design to ensure lightweight body of approximately 1485kg. Sharp headlights edge the kidney grille, which add to it aesthetics. Besides this, the aggressive muscular frame stance, scissor doors combined with wheel arch does add to its exquisiteness.
In the interior, the dashboard fitted in this vehicle is of color-changing lighting pattern. Moreover, the digital driver cockpit will make the driver feel he / she is driving in a futuristic car. The BMW i8 Exotic Car is basically a 2 + 2 seater. Some of the standard gadgets include the i-drive infotainment system having satellite navigation system, Bluetooth and USB connectivity by Harmon-Kardon audio unit.

The car's front wheels derive power from electric motor of 131PS, thereby offering max torque of 250Nm, which is located at the front. It is for this reason; CO2 per km emission is quite low (around 49gms of CO2/km.)
Combined power derived from both electric motor and fuel engine provides optimum of 362PS as well as torque of 570Nm, which its 6-speed auto transmission t gasoline engine has been mated to. Moreover, the motor is combined with 2-stage auto hybrid all-wheel drive.
With regards to its performance and mileage, in its combined power state, the exotic car can achieve top speed of 250 kmph and approximately 120 kmph in electric mode. Besides this, it just takes 4.5 seconds to travel at a speed of 100 km from 0 km in hybrid mode. It also has excellent fuel efficiency figures, consuming just 2.1L/100 kms.
What makes the BMW i8 Coupé unique is its exceptional lightweight concept called LifeDrive architecture. It consists of the Drive module – an aluminium chassis – and the Life module – an ultra light passenger compartment made of high-strength carbon-fibre. Together they create sustainability and perfect weight balance, and deliver unmatched sportiness.
Overall, this car has left behind its competitors behind.

Marija Desivojević Cvetković, Senior Vice-president Of Delta Holding
What Does It Mean To Be Happy?
I follow with interest in the trends of business literature over recent decades. From the Six Sigma programme and "benchmarking", through the Balanced Scorecard, at the beginning of the 21st century we got to the subject of leadership, and today, apart from digitalisation, the most common term encountered at conferences and lectures, and in books and magazines, is happiness.
What is it that business gurus are trying to tell us? In chasing success, have we forgotten about that which makes us alive and that which we'll regret when there's no more time? What does being happy mean to each of us? Can a woman who combines, on a daily basis, nurturing her family and raising her children, a responsible job, socialising with friends, travelling and other activities that she enjoys, be happy? Am I happy?
I don't view my life as a see-saw that needs to be tilted to one side or the other: obligations or satisfaction (among other things, on which side of this are children?), work or holidays, travel or friends. I think that what we've long since referred to as the work-life balance is a false and outdated notion.
I don't want to balance between being a good mother and a good manager, or a leader at Delta Holding. I don't want to balance between creating good people out of my children and shaping young people in the company into good personnel who will very soon lead the company. I don't think there's a need to strike a balance between business trips and climbing the Himalayas or the Andes. I don't think there's a juxtaposition between my business training at Harvard Business School and my swimming, running and cycling training.
I don't view my life as a see-saw that needs to be titled to one side or the other: obligations or satisfaction (among other things, on which side of this are children?), work or holidays, travel or friends. I think that what we've long since referred to as the work-life balance is a false and outdated notion
All of these things comprise my life, and I believe the lives of many businesswomen look similar. Those are the pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle that wouldn't be complete without those pieces.
That's why I don't want to balance and measure days on the basis of which side of the see-saw is prevailing. I want to integrate everything that fulfils me and is important to me in order to create a whole in which I enjoy and which works.
I don't consider happiness as a fleeting feeling; as a set of moments that are actually just having fun or satisfying current desires.
Happiness is a state of being, something that exists in us and represents internal peace with ourselves, and with all the choices that we make every day. Happiness is being self-realised in your work, continuously learning, advancing, researching and creating new values. Happiness is giving back to the community in which we live and work. Happiness is creating deep, high-quality and enduring emotional relationships with friends and family. Happiness is living in harmony with nature, engaging in sports and passing the finish line of a marathon. At the end of the day, the greatest happiness is when you arrive home after a day spent at work and are awaited there with the question "Mum, what are we going to do today?"

The second annual Jamie Chapin Classic golf tournament benefiting University of Florida (UF) Health brain cancer research took place on Saturday, March 17, at the Lagoon Course of the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club.
The event hosted by the UF lacrosse team honored former Nease and UF lacrosse star Jamie Chapin, who passed away at age 25 after battling brain cancer. In addition to golf, guests enjoyed live music, hot dogs, burgers, green spirits in honor of St. Patrick's Day, a silent auction and more at the event, which also featured a hospitality tent for attendees. All proceeds benefited UF Health's Brain Cancer Immunotherapy Program.
Deb Chapin, Jamie's mother, said the event was more successful than she had anticipated.
"We're very excited about the enthusiasm, and we're really hopeful," she said. "We know next year it's going to be even bigger."
Events such as the Jamie Chapin Classic make a real impact and bring people together, Chapin added, because communal events offer an opportunity for groups to collaborate and share information.
"Normally people want to own the research and own the cure," Chapin added. "At this point, if we're going to have a cure or some kind of treatment, it has to be collaborative. This specific event is raising awareness, but our bigger goal is literally to create that collaboration."
Chapin commended Dr. Duane Mitchell, co-director of the Preston A. Wells Jr. Center for Brain Tumor Therapy at UF, for collaborating with other experts and working to improve current medical procedures related to the treatment of brain cancer. Mitchell, who attended the Classic and spoke to attendees about UF's brain cancer research, is the director of the UF Brain Tumor Immunotherapy Program and a Phyllis Kottler Friedman Professor in the department of neurosurgery, among other distinctions.
"We just appreciate that he stays in the game," Chapin said. "That's a really tough place to be. They don't quit; they keep going."

I tried to look up on CNN.com exit poll data for Texas, the second biggest state, and only got:
No exit poll data available
From a Dallas News article:
To save money this year, the [exit poll] consortium is doing bare-bones exit polling in 19 states. Enough voters will be questioned in those states to help predict the outcome of races, but not enough to draw narrative conclusions about the vote - what issues mattered most to women voting for Mitt Romney, for instance, or how many Catholics voted for Barack Obama.
The affected states are: Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming, along with the District of Columbia.
Each is considered a non-battleground state with polls showing a strong advantage for one of the presidential candidates.
Okay, Romney won 57-41 in Texas and Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz was elected to the Senate 57-40. So, nothing too exciting about Texas ... except that it has a large fraction of the country's Latino voters, who are the Official Big Story of 2012. Unfortunately, the exit poll data from Texas was too sketchy too let the public see anything about the demographics of the Texas vote.

By a strange coincidence, virtually all of these are non-battleground states which vote Republican. California, New York, New Jersey etc are solid locks for the Democratic party just as Texas, Utah, Tennessee etc are for the GOP - but those Dem states get exit polls.
sunbeam said...
Texas is pretty heavily gerrymandered (pretty rational thing to do in a state dominated by a single party, of which we have lots now Republican and Democrat).
How do you separate this out from the voting tendencies of hispanics? Pretty easy for the Presidency of course, but for local races?
BTW I don't know how excited I'd get about this if I were a Democrat, at least not without knowing how many hispanic voters split their ticket, or just let it all ride on one party.
Just for shits and giggles I'd like to know what fraction of black voters split their tickets.
That is a suspicious list of states, all red other than Hawaii, Rhode Island, and Delaware. Presumably Vermont is just too important a state to leave out.
Whiter areas went heavily Republiccan while South Texas swing Democratic for President. No percent. Okahomia had around 65 for Romney. Texas would look like Okahomia if they wanted to really use e-verify and deport some of their illegal population.
w/r/t Texas vs. California
for reasons of history, chance and demographics, California "hispanics" are mostly from Southern Mexico or Central America (Guatemala, El Sal etc) whereas Texas receives most of it's Mexicans from Northern Mexico.
Mexico, like the US, is *really* different between N and S. As an example, there is no "mexican" prison gang, there isn't enough rapport. Instead, there is a Northern Mexican gang and a Southern Mexican gang. During the Mexican Revolution, N.Mex was Pancho Villa and S. Mex was Ernesto Zapata. They are *VERY* different.
Knowing how Calis So.Mex. inhabitants voted would not lead you into an informed convo about how No.Mex. voted any more than you could project Alabama's votes onto Vermont or Mass
As of the census[1] of 2000, there were 3,380 people, 1,225 households, and 982 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,580.3 people per square mile (609.8/km²). There were 1,282 housing units at an average density of 599.4/sq mi (231.3/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 89.26% White, 0.53% African American, 0.03% Native American, 8.40% Asian, 0.09% Pacific Islander, 0.44% from other races, and 1.24% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 3.76% of the population.
There were 1,225 households out of which 36.6% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 75.8% were married couples living together, 2.9% had a female householder with no husband present, and 19.8% were non-families. 18.0% of all households were made up of individuals and 8.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.76 and the average family size was 3.12.
In the city the population was spread out with 26.6% under the age of 18, 4.1% from 18 to 24, 17.0% from 25 to 44, 37.3% from 45 to 64, and 15.0% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 46 years. For every 100 females there were 96.5 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 90.8 males.
The median income for a household in the city was $184,991, and the median income for a family was $200,000. Males had a median income of $100,000 versus $57,222 for females. The per capita income for the city was $133,247. About 2.4% of families and 3.7% of the population were below the poverty line, including 4.0% of those under age 18 and 3.6% of those age 65 or over.
As of 2000, Piney Point Village was the wealthiest location

ot-ish: ed west in the telegraph u.k. channeling steve sailer/peter brimelow:
Pundits tell the Republican party: 'The only way you can win is by importing more Democrat voters'
Congratulations to Teddy Kennedy on his historic election victory. The Lion of the Senate may no longer be with us, but there is little doubt that he secured Barack Obama's win – for as every media outlet has pointed out, Romney simply "ran out of white guys"....
The consensus among the commentariat, therefore, is that the Republicans and by implication the Conservatives need to do more to attract non-white voters by cutting down on their objections to immigration and multiculturalism. In order to win, the Republicans must encourage the importation of millions of Democrat voters – an almost flawless plan.
This rests upon a couple of false ideas. Firstly, that there is a straight comparison between Latin American immigration today and that of eastern and southern European Catholics and Jews from the 1880s to 1920s. Sure, some of the complaints sound similar, but there are major differences, and the main one is that it took the 1924 law restricting immigration to facilitate the integration of white ethnic minorities....
Jeeves said...
Look at the WSJ's "heat map" for Texas: all very red...except along the border and up to San Antonio. There, deep blue. Gee, could it be demographics? See also, So. Arizona, light blue.
The GOP is rapidly turning itself into the 21st century version of the Fabian Society, eschewing electoral politics as it wonders why "culturally conservative"(??) Latinos don't embrace supply side economics and instead voting la raza.
Anonymous 11/8/12 7:34 AM, thanks for the link. Good response to questions I was thinking post-election. A conservative echo chamber certainly exists now which can skew from reality, but I don't think Nate Silver making better predictions than Karl Rove doesn't invalidate that the MSM is biased. In what world are issues like Fast & Furious and Benghazi completely ignored, but Sarah Palin emails and the abortion opinion of local politicians who the general populace couldn't pick out of a line-up become BIG NEWS, not show a bias??
So Arizona isn't as hispanic as so Texas,there are counties I believe Webb which is 97 percent hispanic.
I live in Texas and am please that in this minority majority state, 100% of statewide offices are held by Republicans, including Black and Latino officials. All conservatives, too.
My State Representative is a Latino Republican and he won re-election with like 80% of the vote. He is very conservative and a great guy.
It seems Latinos in Texas are here to work, and Latinos in California are there to live off the taxpayer.
Look at the WSJ's "heat map" for Texas: all very red..
most red areas have more cows and cactuses than people. I think we should elect a new cattle and give them the vote.

This is the best commentary on this election. While Hispanic vote will play a key role in the future, this election was really decided by northern whites.

Here is a great post by Andy McCarthy on National Review's "The Corner"
I'm surprised Lowery hasn't banished McCarthy yet for "hate facts".
The WSJ today on immigration.
Immigrants should be a natural GOP constituency. Newcomers to the U.S.—legal or illegal—tend to be aspiring people who believe in the dignity of work and self-sufficiency, and they are cultural conservatives. They are not the 47%.
That's more akin to mental illness than anything else. The GOP has been telling itself that Hispanics are "natural conservatives" since Nixon - the fact that Hispanics stubbornly refuse to behave as the GOP stereotype of them would suggest they should never impinges on the delusion in the slightest.
We've already tried what the liberal Republicans want - if their diagnosis is correct then the 1986 Reagan amnesty should have won Hispanics over to the GOP. Instead the Republican share of the Hispanic voted dropped in the aftermath of that amnesty.
What i found interesting, or perhaps sad, was that 43% of eligible people didn't even bother to vote. The number of people who didn't vote, was greater then the number who voted for Obama.

Not so. Whites in NJ, PA, WI and most northern states voted for Romney, often by large margins.

Feeling Cold? Here Are 4 Japanese "Flower" Hot Pots Perfect for Winter
VARIOUS AREAS
As days get colder and colder, what's the best thing to eat that can provide that much-needed warmth? Look no further than the versatile nabe i.e. hot pot, which can take on a dizzying array of variations in Japan! From the common sukiyaki to the motsunabe (which probably requires a bit of courage to stomach if you can't handle the thought of eating tripe) there's always something for everyone looking for a piping hot and hearty meal most suitable for this season. Do you know that there are four types of nabe in Japan with names of flowers and trees? Join me in meeting the "F4" of the nabe world and discover why you should try them during this period of the year!
Why were names of flowers used for these nabe dishes?
jp.fotolia.com/
Before introducing the F4 nabe, let me explain why there was a need to name them as such by mentioning Japan's history of meat consumption. Centuries ago, before Japan started raising domestic livestock for consumption, people got their meat primarily through hunting. As such, eating deer and wild boar meat was more common than eating chicken, pork, or beef.
With the introduction of Buddhism to Japan, there was a time when eating meat was frowned upon. This subsequently led to a time when people developed a general dislike for eating meat. Despite so, the widely accepted view was that meat acquired from hunting could be consumed but the killing of animals for meat was not okay. In addition, the more legs the animal had (except the octopus and squid), it was seen as more unacceptable to kill such animals for food. It was only during the accelerated growth period after World War II ended that the consumption volume of meat in Japan exceeded that of seafood.
Back in the Nara period, due to the influence of Buddhism, killing of animals and eating of their meat was banned. As for hunting, those methods using traps and spears that shot towards the animals when the trap was triggered were also prohibited. During the farming periods of April to September, it was even specified that animals including cows, horses, dogs, monkeys, and chickens could not be eaten but people were free to eat deer meat and pork.
Among the aristocratic class, chickens were used in the dishes offered during New Year ceremonies, and the nobles turned to dairy products and milk for protein. However, as Buddhism was not widely spread among the commoners, they continued to eat meat despite the restrictions imposed on them. The subsequent eras saw tightening or easing of the meat eating bans depending on who was in power and the social trends. For example, during the Kamakura period when the samurai class exerted more power, the bans were significantly less strictly enforced, but when it progressed to the Edo period, the bans were yet again enforced.
What remained relatively unchanged over the years was that the nobles tended to stick to the bans while the commoners were eating meat on the sly. As such, this gave rise to the need to use alternative names such as those of flowers and plants to refer to meat. For example, "botan (牡丹)" i.e. peony was used to represent pork because it was usually cut and served to look like a peony flower. Deer meat was known as "momiji (紅葉)" i.e. maple leaves as the animal appears in the October card of the hanafuda (花札) i.e. Japanese playing cards which were based on the Japanese anthology named Hyakunin Isshu (百人一首). The "sakura (桜)" i.e. cherry blossom was used to refer to horse meat as the colors of the meat and sakura are similar. Last but not least, the "kashiwa (柏)" i.e. oak was the synonym of chicken because of the resemblance in the colors between the feathers of the chicken and the kashiwa's leaves.
Now, let's find out more about the F4 nabe!
1. Botan Nabe (ぼたん鍋)
Botan Nabe i.e. peony hot pot is named as such because of the use of thin pork slices which are arranged to look like the flower as shown in the photo above. The usual ingredients for this nabe include vegetables, mushrooms, tubers, konnyaku, wheat bran, tofu, and pork, but the broth tends to differ across different regions. Most versions would use a dashi i.e. soup stock made from seaweed and bonito flakes with miso or soy sauce added. For extra flavor, Japanese wine or mirin is added. On the other hand, the Edo style uses a sukiyaki-style stock called warishita (割り下) made from soy sauce and sugar with soybean or hatcho miso (八丁味噌) added to thicken the soup. When you eat the Edo style Botan Nabe, a dipping sauce made from raw eggs and Japanese peppers is used.
Botan Nabe is especially popular in the mountainous areas of Japan where pork is easily acquired. As such, there are some places that are well known for this dish. Here are two places you must visit just so you can try their Botan Nabe!
i. Shishi Nabe Ressha (しし鍋列車)
樽見鉄道のしし鍋列車に乗車完了^_^ 想像よりも随分美味しくて感動!!温泉入浴券付きで、とてもオススメのミニ旅行だ! pic.twitter.com/uDl6JFGext
— 駅弁マニア (@mori4141harueki) December 15, 2016
In Gifu Prefecture, there is a limited edition train service called Shishi Nabe Ressha (Japanese only) running on the Tarumi Line from Ogaki Station (大垣駅) to Tarumi Station (樽見駅) on Thursdays between December and February each year except during the year-end and New Year holidays. Take note that there is a need to change to a special train at Motosu Station (本巣駅).
During the ride, which takes approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes, a meal consisting of the Botan Nabe (they call it Shishi Nabe here because of the use of wild boar's meat rather than pork) and other in-season local dishes is served to passengers as they take in the sights along the journey. At a price of 5,500 yen per person, the package also includes an entry ticket to the Usuzumi Onsen (うすずみ温泉), a discount ticket to Jishin Danso Kansatsukan / Taikenkan (地震断層観察館・体験館) i.e. Seismic Faults Observation and Experience House, and a one-day full access ticket on the Tarumi Line between Ogaki Station and Tarumi Station. Upon arrival at Tarumi Station, there will be a shuttle bus which will bring you to Usuzumi Onsen, after which you can go anywhere you like.
Take note, though, that you will need to make reservations by calling 0581-34-8039 at least 10 days in advance. If there are less than 25 people who have signed up for this train service on your selected day, the service might be canceled. As such, the railway company will contact you before your trip to confirm if it is going to push through as planned and will send the information package which contains the ticket and instructions to your mailing address. If you have a group of 25 people or above, the railway company can arrange a special carriage for your group provided that you contact them in advance.

ii. Sasayama City's (篠山市) Botan Nabe
Another place you should not miss when it comes to savoring Botan Nabe is Sasayama in Hyogo Prefecture, which is one of the top three hunting grounds for wild boar along with Amagi (天城) on the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture and Gujo City (郡上市) in Gifu Prefecture. Besides the fact that the Botan Nabe from Sasayama has been listed in the top 100 local cuisines by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries since 2007, it is also the place of origin for Botan Nabe and the version with a miso-based soup was first conceptualized here.
Every year, the Botan Nabe season in Sasayama (Japanese only) will run from 15 November to 15 February the following year. As the mountainous areas of the city are famous for its pork, this is a dish that has been favored by the locals and visitors for its unique flavor, a good source of energy and boost to vitality, and its ability to warm the body from the inside. Most Botan Nabe found here will have a mixture of white and red miso (proportion of each type differs across different restaurants) added to the dashi soup along with powdered Japanese peppers, mirin, and sugar. Other variations include the chestnut miso, warishita, clear dashi, and white miso soup stocks. Unlike beef, the pork is simmered in the hot pot's soup base for as long as possible so that the flavors seep into the tender meat.

2. Momiji Nabe (もみじ鍋)
A post shared by Yui (@yuimasa73) on Feb 3, 2016 at 4:35pm PST
Momiji Nabe is a venison hot pot which includes ingredients such as burdock, shiitake mushrooms, spring onions, konnyaku, tofu, and vegetables that are cooked in a soup made from bonito flakes and miso. Although venison is readily available throughout the year, it is said that the best season to eat this meat is during summer and autumn as it prevents fatigue from the summer heat and replenishes the body with its rich nutrients during the colder autumn.
As deer eat a lot of plants and grass, it is highly regarded in the field of Oriental medicine as a type of meat with medicinal benefits. Venison is also well known for its high protein, low calorie and fat content, and being rich in iron to prevent anemia, so it is gaining popularity especially among the health conscious. Note, though, that most of the venison found in Japan are imported from France and New Zealand, so the domestic ones are generally more expensive than the imported ones.
Tamba (丹波市) in Hyogo Prefecture is especially well known for its venison, obtained from wild deer roaming in its mountainous areas, which is used when making Momiji Nabe. Here, this hot pot is also known by another name – Shikakui Nabe (しかくぃ鍋), which literally means "eating the deer" as "shika" means "deer" and "kui" means "eat."
On Hyogo Prefecture's website (Japanese only), Hayama is recommended as a place to go to for Momiji Nabe and other venison dishes. If you look at Hayama's website (Japanese only), there are many variations of Shikakui Nabe such as the standard type, red miso, white miso, oden-style, etc. The Shikakui Nabe sets here typically include a venison salad, venison spare ribs, seasonal vegetables, and udon along with the hot pot.

3. Sakura Nabe (桜鍋)
A post shared by o.ojgxx (@o.ojgxx) on Jul 30, 2017 at 7:47am PDT
Sakura Nabe uses horse meat, which is typically eaten like sukiyaki with miso added to the warishita soup stock and ingredients such as spring onions and shirataki (しらたき) i.e. noodles made from konnyaku and chrysanthemum. As fresh horse meat has a color which resembles that of sakura's, it was nicknamed as such in the old days when eating meat was banned in Japan. Over time, though, the iron content in the meat will cause a change in color to a darker brown tone.
Sakura Nabe was said to have originated in the Tokyo red-light district of Yoshiwara during the Meiji era, and is a dish highly regarded for boosting one's vitality. As such, this dish can be found in Tokyo as well as in prefectures such as Nagano and Kumamoto which are well known for being top producers of horse meat. Horse meat contains high protein and iron and has low calories and fat which makes it easy to be digested by the human body. The Sakura Nabe is especially recommended to be eaten during the cold winter season.
In Tokyo, you can visit Sakura nabe Nakae (桜なべ中江) which was established in Yoshiwara during the Meiji era. Having a long history of 110 years, this restaurant specializes in Sakura Nabe and is offering a variety of set meals which cost between 7,200 yen and 10,200 yen (exclusive of tax) depending on which cut of horse meat you order. Besides this, you can also try raw and grilled horse meat.
Note that Nakae is closed on Mondays and only opens for dinner on weekdays from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm. During weekends and public holidays, they are open for the entire day from 11:30 am to 9:00 pm. To get here, take the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line to Minowa Station (三ノ輪駅) and walk from Exit 3 for 9 minutes.

4. Kashiwa Nabe (かしわ鍋)
鳥喜多 #鳥喜多 #親子丼 #かしわ鍋 _ おだしがすごくおいしかったやつ! 全然滋賀のほうがいろいろあった …🤔 _ ままと隆二くんのソロライブ行きつつ、 2日間で福井、岐阜、滋賀へ 歩きすぎ🚶🏽♀ _ _ #滋賀 #滋賀グルメ #長浜 #黒壁スクエア #食べ歩き #🍳 #🐔 #🍧 #gourmet #shiga

Last but not least, Kashiwa Nabe is a local dish from Aichi Prefecture that features chicken as its main ingredient, and uses a light soup base primarily made of ponzu and soy sauce. However, there is another variation which is called Kashiwa Miso Nabe whereby miso is added to the standard soup base so as to give it a stronger flavor. Typical ingredients in this hot pot include mushrooms, vegetables, and tofu.
To experience the best of both worlds, you can consider visiting Raku (楽), s a restaurant located in Nagoya's Naka Ward that offers both Kashiwa and Kashiwa Miso Nabe. It is recommended that you call the restaurant at 052-951-1125 beforehand to make reservations. The restaurant is open every day from 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm except on Sundays and public holidays. To get here, take the subway and alight at Sakae Station (栄駅) before leaving from the first exit and walking for seven minutes.

Familia Pavlović, cunoscută și ca Radinović, Radenović  sau Radinović-Pavlović, ai cărei strămoși Jablanići au fost numiți după numele moșiei familiei lor de la Jablan grad (Mezgraja, Ugljevik), a fost o familie bosniacă medievală, care avea posesiuni feudale întinse de la râul Drina Mijlocie și Superioară din părțile estice ale Bosniei medievale până în regiunile sud-sud-estice ale teritoriului bosniac din Hum și Konavle de pe coasta adriatică. Reședința oficială a familiei era castelul Borač și ulterior castelul Pavlovac, deasupra defileului râului Prača, între actualele localități Prača, Rogatica și Goražde din Bosnia și Herțegovina.

Istorie
Radin Jablanić a fost un stăpân feudal local al văii râului Krivaja și al regiunii Prača și tatăl fondatorului familiei, Pavle Radenović, care a stăpânit un teritoriu întins din părțile de est și de sud până în părțile de sud-est ale Regatului Bosniei, de la sfârșitul secolului al XIV-lea până la moartea sa în 1415.

Pavle Radinović a complotat împotriva regelui de atunci al Bosniei, Ostoja, și a marelui duce Sandalj Hranić, ceea ce a dus la asasinarea lui de către Sandalj la Kraljeva Sutjeska în 1415. El a fost înmormântat undeva în regiunea Vrhbosna; se presupune că ar fi fost înmormântat la periferia actualului oraș Sarajevo, între suburbia Dobrinja și satul Tilava, în zona numită "Pavlovac".

Cel mai de seamă membru al familiei a fost marele duce al Bosniei Radislav Pavlović, fiul lui Pavle.

Reședința familiei

Castelul Borač
Familia Radinović-Pavlović a guvernat teritoriile pe care le stăpânea din castelul Borač-Pavlovac. Este vorba de fapt de două castele, construite pe parcursul a câtorva decenii (două generații) și la câțiva kilometri distanță unul de celălalt. Ele sunt cunoscute simplu ca Vechiul Borač și Noul Borač sau Pavlovac.

Castelul Pavlovac
Noul castel Borač este cunoscut în prezent ca Pavlovac și a fost denumit, de asemenea, Novi Grad ("Orașul nou"). Datarea exactă a construirii sale creează încă probleme, dar unele hărți medievale sugerează anul 1392 sau sfârșitul secolului al XIV-lea ca moment al construcției sale, în timpul stăpânirii lui Radislav Pavlović.

Vechiul castel Borač
Cu toate acestea, istoricii sunt siguri că a mai existat o altă fortăreață a familiei Radinović-Pavlović, un castel Borač mai vechi, care a fost construit în jurul anului 1244 și era situat la doar câțiva kilometri în aval pe malul râului Prača, în apropierea satului Mesići, între satele Borač și Brčigovo.

Posesiuni

Proprietăți, moșii și castele ale familiei Radinović-Pavlović:

Arbore genealogic

 Radin Jablanić (-1391), stăpân feudal minor (Vlasteličić)
 Pavle Radinović (fondator) (1391-1415), cneaz (Knez) și duce (Vojvoda)
 Petar I Pavlović (1415-1420), duce (Vojvoda)
 Radislav Pavlović (1420-1441), marele duce al Bosniei (din 1441), cneaz (Knez) și duce (Vojvoda)
 Ivaniš Pavlović (1441–1450), duce (Vojvoda)
 Petar al II-lea Pavlović (1450–1463), duce (Vojvoda)
 Nikola Pavlović (1450–1463), cneaz (Knez)

Religie
În cursul secolului al XIV-lea și la începutul secolului al XV-lea, când familia Pavlović stăpânea părțile centrale și estice ale Banatului Bosniei și apoi ale Regatului Bosniei, toți nobilii erau obligați să-și exprime loialitatea față de monarh, regat și Biserica Bosniacă. În consecință, toți membrii familiei Pavlović au fost în cursul secolului al XIV-lea și începutul secolului al XV-lea membri ai acestei religii, cu excepția lui Ivaniš Pavlović, care a făcut parte pentru o scurtă perioadă din Biserica Catolică. Așadar, se știe sigur că cneazul Pavle Radinović, fiii săi, ducele Petar și cneazul și marele duce Radislav Pavlović, precum și fiii lui Radislav, ducele Ivaniš, prințul Nikola și cneazul Petar Pavlović au fost membri ai Bisericii Bosniace.

Membrii și conducătorii Bisericii Bosniace au avut un rol și o influență importantă la curtea familiei Pavlović în cursul timpului, mai întâi la curtea cneazului Pavle Radinović, iar apoi la curtea marelui duce al Bosniei, Radislav Pavlović, precum și la curtea fratelui său, Petar. Această situație a continuat în timpul stăpânirii fiilor lui Radislav, ducele Ivaniš Pavlović, prințul Nikola și cneazul Petar. De fapt, marele duce al Bosniei, Radislav Pavlović, a fost cel care a extins semnificativ rolul și influența conducătorilor krstjani ai Bisericii Bosniace în treburile de stat. Documentele istorice au evidențiat prezența frecventă a membrilor influenți ai Bisericii Bosniace de fiecare dată când era nevoie de mediere în relațiile politice și economice stabilite între magnații Bosniei sau între conducătorii Bosniei și ai statelor vecine (mai ales ai Republicii Ragusa). Au existat numeroase medieri între magnații bosniaci și conducătorii Republicii Ragusa, ca de exemplu în negocierile de vânzare a porțiunii domeniului Konavale a lui Radislav Pavlović către Ragusa și în negocierile de pace care au pus capăt Războiului de la Konavle.

Stema
Subiectul principal al cărții Rodoslovne tablice i grbovi srpskih dinastija i vlastele (1987), scrisă de un grup de autori sârbi, în care a fost cercetată, printre altele, stema familiei Radinović-Pavlović, este heraldica de origine iliră, cum ar fi heraldica Fojnica și Ohmućević. Elementele heraldice ilire sunt reprezentate în mod semnificativă pe stemele familiilor medievale.

Cu toate acestea, potrivit acestor autori, stema familiei conține un oraș fortificat, cu trei turnuri, atât pe scut, cât și pe creastă. Au fost adăugate ulterior pe scut, potrivit heraldicii Ohmućević, trei fleur-de-lis aurii, dar această interpretare nu este în conformitate cu sfragistica, iar prezența acestor ornamente este probabil decorativă. Familia Pavlović a lăsat șase sigilii, care au toate același simbol heraldic, un turn sau un oraș fortificat. Cea mai veche stemă este cea a lui Pavle, datată din 1397, care conține un oraș fortificat cu un singur turn. Pe sigiliile fiului său, Radoslav, unul are un turn (1432), iar celelalte trei turnuri (1437), în timp ce fiul lui Radoslav Ivaniš are trei turnuri. Fortificația este inspirată cel mai probabil de cetățile de pe sigiliile Ragusei (azi Dubrovnik). Acest sigiliu a fost utilizat probabil ca stemă a familiei, în ciuda faptului că nu există o stemă completă cu scut, cască și creastă.

În cadrul aceluiași subiect, alți autori, precum Ćiro Truhelka în 1914 și mai recent Nada Grujić și Danko Zelić în 2010 și Amer Sulejmanagić în 2012, au perspective diferite și au ajuns la concluzii diferite. În primul rând, existența stemei (scut, cască și creastă), creată de Ratko Ivančić în 1427 și încă vizibilă în palatul familiei din Dubrovnik, nu este un element contestat. Astfel, potrivit arheologului croat Ćiro Truhelka (1865-1942) și studiului său "Osvrt na sredovječne kulturne spomenike Bosne" (1914), heraldica iliră, în conformitate cu "mesajul său ideologic-propagandistic", folosea culoarea roșie pe stemă, în timp ce stema lui Radoslav Pavlović din Ragusa folosea culoarea ultramarin. Pe aceeași linie, Nada Grujić și Danko Zelić afirmă, într-un studiu publicat în 2010, că stema lui Radislav Pavlović era acoperită cu aur și lapis lazuli. Stema lui Radoslav Pavlović de la palatul său din Ragusa a fost realizată de Ratko Ivančić în 1427, având dimensiunile 1,28x1,28 m.

Pe două stećci din Boljuni, lângă Stolac, există gravuri ale unui castel cu trei turnuri, despre care istoricul medievist Šefik Bešlagić credea că aparținea membrilor familiei Pavlović. Pe de altă parte, există presupunerea că necropola din satul Pavlovac al suburbiei Kasindo a orașului Sarajevo aparținea familiei Pavlović, problema locului de înmormântare al familiei rămânând nesoluționată.

When you have been in the beauty industry for what seems like all your life, how could you choose a favourite product? Products change all the time with reformulation, new ingredients, new innovations, and you change too. Your skin changes, it is obviously older now and maybe doesn't like the texture of a product you raved about years ago.
I do have a few products that give me good vibes, but I am going to pick a facial one today.
A brand I love is Guinot. A French brand that was founded by a man called Rene Guinot over 50 years ago. He was a chemist and made products for his wife who was a beauty therapist, like myself. Somehow, I cannot see my husband making me skincare products! One he is not a chemist, and two, if his cooking skills are anything to go by, then I think we will give that a miss! Chuckles!
I digress, where was I? I trained with Guinot back in 1995. The Company was moving away from Rene Guinot to Guinot, and a new Cathiodermie machine. Cathiodermie was later renamed to Hydradermie. The facials are a must and well worth having, but we will save that for another day. Back to the product in question.
Back in the 90's this product was called Longue Vie Cellulaire. Today it is just called Crème Longue Vie. What I love about it is the way it was born. It contains 56 active cellular ingredients: 20 amino acids, 10 vitamins, 19 active biological ingredients and 7 other active elements (trace elements and mineral salts) which are necessary to cellular life. It was developed in a hospital burns unit and was proven to regenerate skin on burn victims. No wonder this is an anti-ageing product. Back in the day I loved the smell, and somewhere in the back of my mind I can still smell it. It did have an overhaul some years ago and to me the scent is different, but the product still remains amazing.
For my mature skin I tend to use this under my moisturiser like a serum. There are times when I do use it without topping with another product. It is quite a lightweight moisturiser and absorbs well into the skin. Longue Vie Cellulaire is for all skin types over 25 years old. You would use it morning and evening. Because of all the active ingredients it will regenerate and brighten the complexion.
Writing about it makes me want it. I haven't been for a Guinot facial for a number of years. Note to self, add to wish list!
Next time you are near a Guinot salon pop in a get yourself a sample. Hopefully you will love it as much as me.
