text: General Pervez Musharraf was indicted on five counts, including treason [AFP]The inevitable finally happened; a special court has finally formally charged Pakistan's former strongman General Pervez Musharraf on five counts, including treason on account of suspending the constitution on November 3, 2007. Musharraf expectedly pleaded "not guilty" in an emotional but composed response, saying he never even could imagine committing treason. The former president was charged with treason under Article 6 for suspending, subverting and abrogating the constitution, imposing a state of emergency on the country in November 2007, making unlawful changes to it, and detaining judges of the superior courts. In what appeared to be a shock to him, the court later also rejected Musharraf's request for permission to leave for Dubai to look after his 94-year-old ailing mother. It said allowing Musharraf to leave the country was the executive's prerogative. This way, the court threw the ball in the government's court. Interestingly, State Prosecutor Akram Sheikh had told the court in the morning, the government had no objection if the accused wanted to go abroad to see his ailing mother. Court appearance Following months of delaying tactics by his lawyers, the special court had, on March 14, issued non-bailable arrest warrants for the former president, instructing the authorities to arrest him if he failed to present himself before the court on March 31. "Whatever I did, I did for the country and its people. I am sad that I am being called a traitor," stated a composed Musharraf, claiming that he made Pakistan a respectable country during his tenure and recalling that he also defended the country in two major wars with India. 101 East - Pakistan: The Enemy Within Musharraf insisted that he did not make decisions alone. His counsels reportedly have submitted a list of some 269 "collaborators" of Musharraf between 1999 and 2007, when he imposed a state of emergency and suspended dozens of senior judges, including former Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry. The list also included General Ashfaq Kayani, the former army chief and once one of Musharraf's most trusted associates since the coup in 1999. Legal experts say the trial will now likely take its course. "Once somebody pleads not guilty the prosecution has to prove otherwise, the onus is on the prosecution now," former Supreme Court Chief Justice Saeeduzama Siddiqi told the private Samaa TV. Barrister Salman Akram Raja, hinting at the long-drawn process, said in an interview that, "The next step is the recording of witness statements as well as of depositions by the collaborators named by Musharraf's lawyers." But Musharraf supporters and his defence lawyers were upbeat. One barrister and close Musharraf associate stayed away from the proceedings protesting what he called the "controversial and biased conduct of judges", but insisted the prosecution had conceded their major contestation. A lengthy trial The head-on confrontation with the judiciary at the zenith of his rule invariably triggered the former army chief's downfall, prompting lawyers and politicians to unite for the judges' restoration. Faced with mounting opposition following general elections in February 2008, Musharraf resigned in August of that year and left the country within weeks. Most critics have always been sceptical as to whether the government, which initiated the treason case under Article 6 of the constitution late last year, really wanted him prosecuted. Musharraf's second appearance before the court on Monday, underscored a major step forward in Pakistan's democratic transition; never before had a former army chief and president faced indictment. The run-up to Musharraf's second appearance following 35 hearings, accompanied by heated arguments between the prosecution and defence lawyers and delaying tactics, has not been shorn of dramatic and curious twists and turns. On two previous occasions he dodged the court following a mysterious discovery of "explosives" near his farmhouse on the outskirts of Islamabad. The explosives were somehow both amateurishly rigged and expertly unearthed. Talk to Al Jazeera - Pervez Musharraf: 'A politicised vendetta' In January, when he did manage to leave his home for another court hearing, Musharraf suddenly fell ill on the way; his car was swiftly diverted to the military-run Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) hospital, where he has been ensconced for nearly three months. Source of tensions The nature of his illnesses, however, remained disputed. At times he complained of chest pains, while a leaked medical report said that he was beset by nine different ailments, including hypertension, a clogged artery, a rickety knee, and some trouble with his spine. Though the army practically denied any role in his admission to the military-run hospital, most observers agreed it wouldn't be possible without tacit support of General Headquarters (GHQ), now headed by General Raheel Sharif. Providing shelter to Musharraf at the military hospital also signalled to the civilian government that the army, still a predominant political force, disfavoured the witch-hunting of its former chief. The case took a surprising turn on March 30, when Farogh Nasim, a barrister ideologically close to Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and a member of Pakistan's Upper House - the Senate - appeared on Musharraf's behalf. Nasim's association with Musharraf offered another twist in the case; the MQM is the only party that has publicly supported Musharraf. The three-member bench rejected Nasim's request for a several week adjournment and allowed him only two weeks to prepare for the next hearing. It, however, excused Musharraf from personal appearance when the case resumes in two weeks. The court's rather favourable ruling about Musharraf's travel abroad has sparked hopes the former army chief may soon be heading out for what would be an end to months of an ordeal that he probably had never envisioned before returning to Pakistan in 2013. As of now, the process seems set for protracted proceedings, and therefore with no immediate fallout for the civil-military relations. If Musharraf somehow manages to leave the country, that will probably provide a big relief to the government which had increasingly looked to be choking under the gauntlet it had thrown at him. So, the disappearance of Musharraf from the national scene - under whatever conditions - would not only relieve the government of a headache it asked for, but also take out a big source of distraction from other pressing issues such as the tenacious Taliban insurgency and the challenge of economic revival.

We're all Sugar Addicts. And there's no shortage of Sugar Daddies with an insatiable sweet tooth. Finding one that truly understands the meaning of a mutually beneficial relationship can be tricky, particularly if he's new to the Sugar Bowl. Many men are conditioned to think assisting a woman financially is demeaning, a set-back to the growth of feminism. Pity that being a gentleman has somehow equated with impeding the advancement of the modern woman.
If your Sugar Daddy is a good catch more than likely other Sugar Babies know it as well. Why is it that men who are taken become bigger targets to other women? But what should you do if another Sugar Baby tries to move into your territory? Whether you're the type to share or not, it's best to know what to do in these situations.
Leonard Nimoy said it best, "the more we share, the more we have". As long as your relationship is solid, a new-comer is not much of a threat. In fact, it could be beneficial when approached correctly. Becoming friends with the newcomer SB not only shows class, but proves that you value the relationship. Not to mention the fact that you will come off as a strong, confident woman.
Personally, I believe this is the ideal situation—for those of you who use SeekingArrangement in a more casual manner. A new SB is like gaining a new girlfriend, except she's a Sugar Baby. Both of you now have a confidant to go to if you wish to discuss the more intimate parts of your arrangement. Plus, it gives your Sugar Daddy renewed excitement. Think of the new Sugar Baby as the additional upgrades, while you are the Mercedes.
If you aren't into sharing there are two ways you can go about it:
What have you done when faced with this situation?
Have you ever had to deal with another Sugar Baby moving into your territory?
I had an SD who would always try out new "flavors". The less it bothered me, the more he wanted to spend time with me. I had been there for about 3 years so he would always tell every new girl that I was not going anywhere and if they didn't like it they could kick rocks so to say. Some did, some complained and got them no where. I'm still great friends with him but he became such a negative old man I couldn't take being around him anymore.
Moral of the story, don't be a whiny little complainer of a SB. Total turn off. Go with the flow, and if you can't, excuse yourself from the situation politely and with class.
My SD is whiny too. Even worse, he pulls out.
So I added a second, younger, more generous SD.
Well, I meant being a whiny sugar baby that complains is pretty much a death sentence. But yes, an SD that does the same is even worse. The one I had would just complain about everything. I could never do anything without some kind of backhanded comment. Just shows he was becoming miserable in his own life. That's when I knew it was time to excuse myself. We still remain friends to this day. This was back before I ever tried anything online.
Getting back to the purpose of this blog…I feel as a SB you can't really get jealous if your SD wants to see other girls as well. I mean it's not as if you're in a conventional committed relationship. But if that does bother you as an SB you should be upfront about it and express your concerns about sharing right away. And if you are fine with it always ALWAYS use protection, (should be a no brainer regardless). I know some girls who got too territorial and it has scared away a good amount of great SDs.
This was an SD from a while ago, when I was like 19 lol. I can't have more than one main SD, it just gets too messy and feels like more of a job rather than a fun, carefree relationship.
I wouldn't mind at all if my SD had more than one SB at a time. Just as long as I don't have to hear about them! withsomesugarontop.com
My apologies to all of you who have reached out to me. I have finally come back home. The chancellor of the university I served as chair spoke with me today said, (this is translated) Joe, we realize you are leaving but you must understand. You will be missed by everyone here. If we get in a particular jam would you mind returning till we fill the faculty possession. I told him, President, I would enjoy it tremendously, under 2 conditions 1) it doesn't turn into a full time position and 2) I may have a companion with me; will that great a problem. He said no. So thanks again for all the postings. I am learning a lot. I close in apologizing for going full member. However now that I am coming home I see no reason not to. Take care ladies, each of you have been most kind. Your gentleman friend, Joe
and believe that even though she tells you her focus is you theres another five she has lined up too bro
@daniel, shes totally into you, dont take it too far out of category or dont take it too seriously cuz shes like that with all the guys she lays claims to, and its too many to rationalize putting sincere efforts until she will match the sentiment and i wouldnt count on that being a solid sentiment at that. SO! keeping the strippers close might work for you beings shes such a jeaous type
I think here are a few fundamental misunderstandings.
First of all the SD can do what he wants. A SB has absolutly no rights. If he decided to take a new or additional SB it is only his decision.
There are a lots of SB and a few SD. So the SD pays without any legal reason for a SB.
Be aware he can ends the arrangement immediatly. He does not lose anything.
Especially if Sex is included it could be seen in some countries as prostitution. On the base it is that a SB wants money first and the SD wants … whatever.
He is in the situation to be picky. He has the requested thing – money.
Another problem is there is no legal right for payment even if it is agreed. So the SB is normally dependent on her SD.
So if he brings a new SB accept it and make no drama or your agreement is faster ended then you can think.
A written agreement is fine but could be a problem for the SB too. A SD will have no problem to pay but e.g. if it is agreed the SB has to meet the SD twice a week and once a week sex. He has the right on it. And as prostitution is illegal in some countries in other it is legal including the right to get this service.
A good friend has a very benifitial arrangement. He has 2 SB and with both written contracts. He pays the rent and all for the university for the both for that reason they signed an employment contract starting after they finished university to work the next 5 years in his company and he can come over from once a month till once a week to check the improvement at her studies. Additional is a second contract how the girls show their thank to him.
For all a very good arrangement. he invites the girls to holidays, nice restaurants, gives beautiful gifts. Both get internship in his company.
For him it is easier. He can avoid golddigger. And the girls are happy too, they get immediatly a good job after the university.

Where is that 2 button for ENGLISH when you need it?
"To me, the very idea that you associate with those types would be a deal breaker – I wouldn't trust the "beer and pool" line for a second. I'd keep that under wraps in the future."
Seriously? Obviously, you aren't familiar with this girl. She has visited sex clubs and openly encourages three-somes, but I'm not really into that. Knowing her like I do, this smacks of huge double standard.
@Faco – will answer you in a newest blog topic. No one looks at the old ones, once the new one is out 🙂
I asked about one week ago: What is the main difference between SBs and traditional prostitutes? Any answer is acceptable for me. I am just curious about our modern perception of very old matters.
Sex for money is sex work. As simple as that. You can´t build no true relationship when there is money in between. If you have sex, then withdraw the money and then you have sex no more, that is sex for money, and then sex work.
That is not good or bad in itself. We are told that sex work is inmoral which is bullshit. If two people consent in change sex for money there is nothing wrong, and nobody has the right to get in the way.
To me, the very idea that you associate with those types would be a deal breaker – I wouldn't trust the "beer and pool" line for a second. I'd keep that under wraps in the future.
Women may communicate with a different language and have assumed that you were trying to say that you loved sex with porn actresses. The fact that you have friends who own strip clubs and have dancers creates a presumption.
Spicey- I understand the sex with strippers part (although I don't have sex with strippers….just a beer in the pool….she also said "I don't like you seeing other people", which referred to the girl in California. This happened 6 months before we met. Plus, I always play safe since I wouldn't want to expose myself or anyone else to the unwanted gifts.
Daniel – I wouldn't want my SD having sex with strippers because I wouldn't want the nasty "souvenirs" that might come with that. It has nothing to do with exclusivity. I wouldn't care if he occasionally had sex with librarians.
Thank you Treasured, I appreciate the feedback. I asked the question on this thread because the last posting was only two days prior and it seemed to be related to the "third wheel SB" issue. But again, thank you for your answer, it was helpful.
Daniel, definitely 😀
But, then again, ANY SB wants her SD to be JUST with her 😀
PS: It is much better to raise questions like that in the newest blog topic. Posts which have been made to the blog topics which are over are rarely answered.
Back on topic. I was talking to my SB of 6 months about a couple of things that happened over a year ago. One was a chance encounter with a girl that does porn in California. The other was a stripper party at a neighbor's house (he manages a strip club). There was no sex at the party…just some time in the pool with a beer and a bunch of topless 20 y.o. girls. Anyway, my SB got annoyed and said "I don't like you seeing other people", and "I don't want you fucking strippers". From this, I assume she wants an exclusive arrangement (even though none of this happened after we met). This is fine by me, but do you think I'm drawing the right conclusion?
que hay
@Sacy, lol, yes it was 🙂
Welcome back Madridista – and nobody took that rant about you from (was it Tequila?) seriously!
@Alana – The trick is to never "trust" that they're going to follow through AFTER you trust them with your body. Make them show first, then share.
"How do you know for sure someone will buy you stuff and not flake out? Any advice for me ladies?"
The answer to the first question is you have an arrangement with them. It's nice when a pot SD sends small gifts of appreciation, but to expect it right off the bat without any agreement is a bit unfair. Flaking can't be prevented, but to minimize it is to have very direct communication before. Discuss any concerns you may have, past arrangements, what kind of arrangement are you interested in now, etc. You really want to make sure you're on the same page and a lot of pot SDs and SBs can be eliminated during the initial stages of contact. But if anyone suddenly disappears on you, don't take it personally. It's annoying, but we can't change anyone's lack of manners.
lol must be my avatar cuz it can't be what im saying?? HA
where have u been russian, you've been missed
What that story teach us, sugars ? Not deal with married men. While couple have mess with their marriage, I don't want to be their family shrink, or friend, or bisexual friend. But if they have healthy relationship, why not ?
Perfect timing, just week ago I have dinner with my ex sugar and his business partner with his SB, in one hour, his jelouse wife join us (thank you iPhone navigation) … Everything end well … I am not go that far to have sex with his wife (thanks god) but I was extremally diplomatic, we had very frank and honest conversation with her about all men being bastards, all get drunk, and in the right moment I pull SB out of the restorant.
Lol – you can see why I was so freaked out! He's a total pedo! Another need for better SA report user protocols. Blech!!!!
PS: I did not refer to YOU, when I said that SOME people NEED to educate themselves in BDSM 😀
Strangely enough about you I had little doubts with your sexuality 😀
I just got it!!! I know why you thought I am talking about THAT guy! I KNOW which one you mean (I think his SA profile says something similar to what I have written).
The one who lives somewhere in Mexico, looks hideous, and is looking for a "daughter"!
DAMN! THAT one has contacted me too, and was successfully blocked ages ago.
Sacy, I am lost.
I think we are talking about different guys. I talked about MY Daddy, when I said I am enjoying "Daddy's little princess thing" (the one I have a relationship with, and who is awesome) and SEPARATELY about a guy, who harrased me on SA (but that one was just a jerk, and has not expressed little girl fantasies).
Your one is definitely a creep.
Treasured! I am not talking in generalities, I am talking about HIM! He told me this! I have interacted with him!
Nobody on this blog or anywhere else would ever refer to me as vanilla, or uneducated in the ways of BDSM. (Lol, I literally wrote not the book, but "A" book on it which has been reviewed as well-written, explicit dirty chick lit) I'm not afraid of exploring sexuality and I don't judge most fetishes – but this guy is a molester. 100%! Ask him about how he learned about this fantasy and you'll discover the truth if you listen with your ears open.
And… Adequate people, playing out those fantasies, do NOT imagine molesting a child (and having a woman substitute that). What they do feel and see, their ADULT partner, someone they deeply care about, being vulnerable and submissive to them.
But, for that, my darlings, you have to experience things like getting dripping wet in a restaurant, just because your partner has just told you "What a good girl you have been", or, saying out of nothing "You are MY slut".
Or, a man, getting on all fours in a public place, to beg you to allow him to give you oral pleasure 😉
Usually "nilla" people don't get it 😛 😀
BDSM is not about unfulfilled child molestation fantasies, and not jus about horrid looking women kicking men in their balls (THAT does happen, to be honest).
It is way beyond that.
Flyr – I absolutely agree with you. If it involves anyone under 18. That's actually a crime.
If a MAN (or, a woman) is engaging in a roleplay between two consensual adults, like me, wearing a schoolgirl outfit and says things like "I have been a bad girl, Daddy", I can't see anything wrong with that.
If anyone is familiar with some aspects of BDSM, they understand, what I am talking about 😉
Other people – welcome to educate yourself 🙂 Just put fet life into a searching engine.
Child molestation fantasies – Creepy beyond words.
You sound interesting. Where are you from?
yeah fantasies are different than reality. no need to call the cops on someone thats just tryna act out a fantasy in a perfectly legal way.
my friend was a phone sex operator with her friend they were roommates, anyways they were told to be prepared to hear some crazy shit and not to be freaked out because its just people act out a fantasy in a perfectly legal way… like talking about having sex next to a dead body on a bed ;o
"@Treasured – he's so nasty! He wants you to make up stories about your father molesting you while he touches you or you touch yourself. Can't actually have sex though 'cause the plumbing is broken.
How does a man learn he has a molestation fantasy? One guess … 'Cause he's done it. Big! Red! Caution! Warning! Pervelert! In the strongest way I can say it. Even if he does offer to give you one of the villas at his resort think of the poor young children he damaged before he found a safer way to indulge his fantasy. You're a mom, don't risk bringing that vermin into your life."
No no no no. I am aware of THAT kind. But this one is nothing like.
He has NO underage fantasies whatsover (he has never voiced them or acted in any way.) Even all his girlfriends were over 25. And I know he is attracted to women, not little girls.
He just likes to care. And he certainly doesn't call himself "Daddy".
Just his whole attitude is.
It is more of mine fantasy and definition, not his.
Anyways, I am exploring a new side to me. Where I can feel ultra feminine, ultra protected and ultra spoiled. 😀
yeah i think at the end of the day guys will take what they can get
but ive had guys refuse me because i wasnt putting out first date! =(
@ sassy n Re Variety
You'll have to be the judge, as a friend put it some guys treasure a perfectly prepared same cocktail / same dish at their favorite restaurant while others endlessly pursue variety . What makes the two of you happy…… and smiling.
I'm pretty uninhibited yet my favorites focus on quality not variety if that makes sense to you.
@alle "tired of men asking for sex on the first date"
You might try some expectation management and also find that it adds value and longevity to the relationship. Let the pot know that you are interested in meeting him but that you don't believe it is good for you to have sex on a first date. You just wanted him to know that up front.
Assuming that you are not expecting anything other than some good company, wine and perhaps dinner it is a nice way to start. I don't think it is the only way by a long shot but you should be doing what feels good for you .
The important thing (I believe) is to keep the potential SD in the loop so that a) if sex on the first meeting is a requirement you are not wasting your time b) he understands the mission statement for the first meet is to test to see how comfortable you are c) if there is no sex on the first date he is not sent home wondering what he did wrong but rather looking forward to another meeting.
Of course you can always gaze across the table and let him know that he is so special that the rule does not apply now that you have gotten to know him.
Just my thoughts
I sure didnt mean to make that kinda happy face on the end of that message… I meant more like an accepting loving smile
I don't know acting like a kid and a dad is hot because it's forbidden some people are bored with sex and have to make it forbidden or hot somehow. Some of those people have been sexually abused in the past 🙂
I'm getting really annoyed with guys wanted sex on the first date and offering me money for it!!!! Self proclaimed sugar daddies ?? Even ones with a monthly allowance get down to that topic!!!! If they dont say it then they try to screw you when you meet up and you never hear from them again. Is this the reality of the situation or is this a VANCOUVER thing
@Lo " Diana get it. I have been receiving messages from a self proclaimed computer geek/engineer in his thirties. Tbh a geek sounds refreshing at this point."
I love geeky guys!!
Did I mention the guy that just went on and on about how amazing is on his profile and in my inbox. It was such a turn off that I couldn't even bring myself to respond to the message.
@Treasured – he's so nasty! He wants you to make up stories about your father molesting you while he touches you or you touch yourself. Can't actually have sex though 'cause the plumbing is broken.

Im a newcomer to this site. No dirty, kinky stuff. How do you know for sure someone will buy you stuff and not flake out? Any advice for me ladies?
@Lo – Sorry, he's all MINEEEEEEEEE. And he's sexy, I swear I better watch out that I don't fall for him 😛
@Lo, not sure of he's super conservative but I do believe GTT is still around 😉
All super super conservative SD's with no sexual fantasies/kinks/preferences call meee
Hey is anybody going to Augusta for the Master's?
Sassy, what inclinations has he shown, if any?
Some guys are more conservative because they have hangups. Others are more conservative because they are afraid of the girl rejecting what they might enjoy. It's pretty important to know what kind of conservative guy he is.
@sassy: I would start a conversation with him between visits about what his sexual fantasies are, then you know where to go. It makes for GREAT foreplay, and is an easy way to find out what direction to take things.
answer sassy's question lol
Thanks Dorky and Treasured. I'm crossing my fingers that at least one of them pans out. The position at my current company isn't quite where I want to be, but it would be a step forward. Plus I would be working for the senior manager that is over the group that I eventually want to be in. *sigh* Maybe some brownies WOULD help 😉
He is in Europe, so doubt he is a danger to any American ladies. And.. Honestly, the dumbass is just too stupid to be taken seriously. Even by the new naive SBs… Although, you never know…
Ok. Will give general info. From Ireland, reasonably good looking, mid 30ies.
Off to sleep 😀 Mwahhh
@Treasured please post him on the wall of shame. We all need to know who he is so we can stay away from him. He's a creep.
@Treasured… have you contacted SA support to find out what the inappropriate content was? Or if the email even came from them? Could have been phishing.
Tina – good luck! I'm sure you'll do fine.
Hmmm… A VERY peculiar thing just has happened. I got an email from SA saying another member reported my profile for "inappropriate content" and that SA deleted it.
1) There was NOTHING "inappropriate" by SA standards.
2) Just checked my profile and not a single thing was changed.
I DID block, for the first time a member on here a few days ago. Who, after offering me a cheap date as a live in maid-sextoy, got very upset, when I asked him if he has read my profile at all. On which the answer was "I don't like profiles that bore, I like straight and to the point". On which I replied "my profile IS long, so dumbases like you do not waste my time by asking me questions, such as you did" and asked him not to contact me again…
Well… I'm pretty sure it is him.
SO, I am toying with the idea of posting his profile on here on the wall of shame 😀
But… Could it have been someone else? And, the main question – why?
If my SD doesn't want to be exclusive I can understand that. If he wanted to get bring a newcomer into the relationship I'd be all for that only I wouldn't want to hear every little detail about her. I would want us to be two separate entities. My current SD has another SB but she lives in his area. I live 4 hours away from him so I only get to see him when he is in town on business, who am I to deny him his at home pleasures? I'm sure he wouldn't deny me mine.
@Tina- Good luck! I hope you get two offers, and get to take your pick. Maybe if you bake them some brownies?
@SDinLA: my my my, the BS Index has been quite active the last few years. I think our posts are boosting it a bit…… 😉
@Dorky: the sad thing is that I remember that post….sheesh! And wish me luck – I had an interview yesterday with my current company, and a second interview late next week with another company. Hopefully ONE of these pans out! 🙂
@Tina No, you obviously haven't checked lately. It's up to 78.3%. It was 78.29999999999, but my post bumped it to 78.3. The last time it was as low as 51% was in February of 1989. (78.12073428 now!)
I have a conservative SD and am a good girl, but I want to keep things fresh behind closed doors and keep him satisfied. I don't want to shock him in a negative way, though, or make him think I'm too kinky for him (I'd be happy with just missionary with him, he's that good). So my question is: what would you advise doing? Should I try role play/costumes/etc. or leave things as they are?
LOL @ Dorky!!!
But, no. Not in that sense. I CAN role play, but it is not about the age (I definitely DO NOT feel younger than my own age, except some bratty teenage moments, but guess a lot of people have them).
It is about the attitude… And the ability feeling all weak and submissive, yet spoiled and pampered by a man, who genuinely cares. Since he is also was-is a SD AND older, term "Daddy" is appropriate 😛
The thing is… I REALLY enjoy it… 😛
Diana get it. I have been receiving messages from a self proclaimed computer geek/engineer in his thirties. Tbh a geek sounds refreshing at this point.
Last year, Jenny discussed a guy who wanted her to spend the weekend with him, role playing that she was 12 years old. Is that the kind of thing that you're talking about?
My suggestion was that she should do exactly that. Yell at him that he's ruining her life, run into a bedroom, slam the door, put on her headphones and spend the entire weekend barricaded in her room playing games on her iPhone.
I am curious if anyone had any experience with "Daddy's little princess" fantasy?
I think I am discovering a new side to me 😀
@SDinLA: really? I thought it was more like 51% 😉
@Lori: I agree with JerseyDarling – reschedule with him, and make sure he knows that you're excited to see him, and although you understand his need to reschedule the first time, that you can't wait to spend time with him. Let him know that you're looking forward to him coming to see you because of the chemistry, and that you're excited about spending time with him. I definitely wouldn't mention his flaking on the first meeting (except for saying that you understand about his busy schedule) since this can put him on the defensive. I would give him a second shot at meeting with you. If he flakes a second time, I would look for someone else, since he either doesn't have the time for a long distance SB or isn't serious about having one. Good luck!
Lori, if the chemistry was that strong I'm not really sure why there's a question. Reschedule with him. If he flakes then he flakes, but you'll never know what could be unless you put yourself out there.
Open yourself up to the possibilities instead of being afraid of them.
Thanks for the helpful advice, everyone. I appreciate it.
Just to clarify, when I posted that my pot SD's cancellation had "left me in a bad way financially," I wasn't referring to my ability to make ends meet. I work full time and have my basics covered each month. The extra $1000 was money I had budgeted to get some "extras" done that I normally couldn't afford: some car repairs I've been putting off, a surgery my pet needs, etc…so now I'm just disappointed that those things won't get done on the schedule I had planned.
I've had long distance SD's before and actually prefer them, because SD's in my home city tend to "cling" a little too close for my comfort. I like the distance between us because when we visit one another, it's sure to be supercharged and exciting…rather than the local guy I can see any time I want to. Usually travel arrangements are not a problem, and I'm understanding about cancellations, but I've never had a long-distance pot SD cancel on me before, especially one I feel so much chemistry with. Usually once an SD makes plans to travel to meet you and is calling/texting nearly every day, that's a pretty sure sign he's serious, in my experience. (Although I know there are certainly plenty of exceptions to the rule, too…some people are just flaky, let's face it.)
So my dilemma at this point is: what do you think I should do if he wants to re-schedule this meeting? Because I'm really not into the idea of getting flaked on TWICE.
Thank you Tina for the warm welcome back!!
Ohh blog topic is infidelity.. Well I haven't changed my view much since the last time I posted. I still can't be physically intimate with the married SD.
Third Wheel? Eh.. Unless meeting the SD's other SB is to honestly verify he's a true SD, I don't actually see the point in such gatherings. Maybe I'm missing something here. Is the purpose to bring the two together in hopes something sexual will take place? If that's the case then I hope these desires would have been discussed prior to an arrangement being in place.
78.3% of all statistics are made up.

Hey Lo!! Yah another OC sb! Ok so I read the LA party was going well until the police shut it down for liquor license issues? Really? That sounds so 1920's. Couldn't they just confiscate the liquor and let the party continue?
I updated my profile this week and took it off "hidden status" and so far the men have been quite respectful this time around. There are the usual fakes that apparently haven't left the building but I did receive a few new contacts as well/ One sweet potsd has me logging in looking forward to his messages. He's a bit of a distance away and even though we may never meet, his humor, great looks and personality shine through. Actually there hasn't been a pot sd on this site that has even come close. Did I forget to mention he's attractive, verified , under 40 and…single!
Statistics are like bikinis, what they reveal is interesting, but what they conceal is essential. – Woody Allen
Re: cheating, I don't care much for statistics. What matters to me is my relationship with my person. I always make clear in any relationship that if my partner cheats, we'll deal with the emotional consequences later, but I'm entrusting them with my sexual health and for that reason I need to know.
In arrangements, it varies based on the kind you have. For my sexual health, I limit my partners and prefer monogamy for that reason. (See, I'm not always a frou frou romantic – sometimes I'm just a practical girl! ;))
@Mide: welcome to the blog, but in order to give advice we'll need to know a little more specific information on what you need some help with.
@Lori: I agree with what everyone has commented to you regarding your situation. I understand the need for extra funds, but sugar shouldn't be a way to make ends meet. Unfortunately when you rely on sugar, you actually add drama to the relationship when something like your current situation happens. Sugar should be for something extra in your life, not the day to day business. It doesn't have to be for shopping or trips, but sugar can be used for school tuition, educational hobbies to enrich your life, or to help start a new business. These are things that can enrich your life as a whole, but if they are interrupted they don't destroy what you already have. Long distance SDs are hard, and you have to have great communication. Knowing that he's long distance, you will have to deal with cancellations such as the above. But, that's something you will need to talk to him about ("hey SD, I know that you're very busy and that cancellations may happen from time to time, but can we talk about expectations when they do come up? For example, will we plan another meeting, or should we extend the meeting the next month to make up for the missed time? How would you like to handle allowance? I would like to be able to rely on a certain amount each month, regardless of our meeting, since I need to budget a few things, but would love your feedback on this….). Of course, that talk comes VERY soon after the arrangement is made official, or as things go well during your first meet. Don't drill him or make him feel bad, make sure it is a friendly but informative chat. I can't stress how important communication is in an arrangement. Good luck, and don't take resentment into your first meeting with the pot SD 🙂
@Diana: Midwest has been busy with school and life, Cali SB is no longer a blog participant
Nice to see you back!
@Guru: the "cheating" statistic/topic is a difficult one, since it all depends on the person. You can put a number to it, but the likelihood of someone cheating all depends on the person. There are scientific studies listed about when people cheat based on chemical reactions in their brains at different times during relationships that can contribute to certain behavioral characteristics. (For example, there is an actual brain chemistry change between the first and seventh year of a relationship, hence the common "seven year itch"). Man-o-pause is also an issue…………
But aaaaaaaanyway, I'm also not into sharing. If I'm giving my all to someone, then I expect then to put in the same effort. Now, for sugar, you don't get all of me, IRL you do. Because of that, the expectations are different. I have a problem sharing attention, but also know that SD/SB relationships can require a different perspective based on the arrangement. I want to know if my SD is not monogamous, but I don't want to know about their time together, know anything about the other SB(s), and they shouldn't know about me. What I do in my life is my own business, and no one but me has a need or right to share private information. If I share it, I share it with those that I trust.
Man, I sound awful. But, c'est la vie! 😉
Just read up on some of the past blogs. Wow I missed out on the safety blog and also the sex tips and tricks? Tsk Tsk that's shame. Back door and squirting? I missed that? **face palm** Just catching up with blogs in Oct 2012..Where's Midwest and CaliforniaSb?
Diana nice to see another OC native in here 😀
Wow I haven't posted on here in forever. I remember the last time I posted was just before the Fifty Shades party. Btw did anyone go and if so was it better than the London bash?
SD, what are you some kind of guru or something???
… And, I always keep the original box for all the designer gifts I get. That way I can hock it on eBay as soon as the relationship ends. My Prada is fun, but a Target bag and $$$ in my pocket is delightful.
Another note, Lori – even when you're in an arrangement, SDs are notorious for Poofing. Never trust their word or their money for your needs, only your wants.
Lori how often were you planning on meeting up? I'd find a local SD if I were you to make up for the other guy's unreliability and have two SD's if you're only planning on seeing them once a week anyway. I bet a long distance SD would be pretty inconvenient….
Am new on this site but , its nice meeting alot of lively ladies here….All i need is ur Advice before i can venture into any relationship with SD…….Having problem to Mail SD too
I've had this happen a couple of times before (though not long distance). Either we've had the first meet and we've scheduled the second to start the arrangement, or it's for the first meet. A pot will call and cancel the day before or the day of (thankfully I've avoided them canceling RIGHT before) and eventually we reschedule. It leaves me a bit annoyed but I get it, I just say something along the lines of "Aww that's a shame, I really wanted to see you! Hopefully we can see each other soon." Sometimes, it happens again.
Usually at that point I'll kindly but firmly remind them that I understand that part of his being successful means he'll be busy and sometimes have to reschedule, and that once I'm in an arrangement with him I'd be happy to accommodate. But when we're not even in an arrangement yet, it's not very nice to keep rescheduling.
For me, because I prefer receiving monthly assistance, it assures me that once we're in an arrangement our bases will be covered either way. If he misses and has to reschedule, I'm still compensated. If he wants to see me more often, I'm cool with that as well.
In your case, I'd consider yourself lucky he gave you $200.
Disappointments happen on both sides.
Long distance means that not much vetting can happen before the meet, and it's risky. What happens if the couple discusses a certain amount, he shows up, and finds out she doesn't look like photos? Or maybe she cancels? (I have heard that pot SBs can be flaky too).
I wouldn't be surprised if some SDs schedule the weekend with more than one pot SB, figuring that one will flake, and they'll have a backup. It wouldn't surprise me if some SBs schedule time with more than one pot SD for the same reason.
It could be the Lori was the backup SB, just in case another one didn't work out.
Sorry Lori, it's the cost of doing business – even though it sucks! And, how much of your "preparation" expenses would you have done anyway? Getting your roots touched up doesn't really count as a lost investment as you'd have needed to do it anyway. Never count on $ugar until the money is in your pocket (or your PayPal).
@Lori, ditto to what Treasured said. Couldn't put it better myself. Be cautious about counting allowance before you get it. it is conditional on spending time together and if you didn't, then it's a bit unfair to expect it unless you already in an arrangement. It's nice that SDs in the past have done it for you though.
@sassynsweet, the SDs I met offline were mainly at sporting events (best to get a VIP seating) and in lounges at ski resorts. The men were both well known and had a certain reputation, so I already knew they'd be into a sugar-type relationship, just based off their dating history. They all mentioned they wanted someone to have some fun with, who wouldn't expect commitment or pressure them into anything (or "accidentally on purpose" get preggers). So what they were looking for described a SB to me. To be successful in sugar, site is a great supplement, but we have to diversify. While at uni, I used to frequent a lot of lounges downtown that were known to be frequented by business executives and up and coming types. It can be done anywhere if you research, research, research. Start with social pages in your area, or local gossip sites.
@Lori, I've had that happen to me too meaning as a SD I've had to cancel. Everything booked, events planned, and something comes up. The thing that is different in your situation is you guys do not have a arrangement. You guys might have met and it might have not been nearly as cool as you thought it would be or as cool as he thought it would be.
So, for him to wire you $200 as a consolation sounds fair to me! The next time it happens I would definitely say you are no longer interested!
I'll add that's one of the problems with a long distance SD good luck!!
@Madridista – How did you meet an SD offline? How did you know he'd be into it and how did you have the convo?
Hi Lori.
First and foremost – you should NEVER rely on a Sugradaddy to keep you afloat financially. You counted on that money, it didn't work out. You, have put yourself in a difficult financial situation. No anyone else.
He cancelled, life sucks. Most SDs would not even give you 20%. They would just cancel and that would be it.
I think he did nothing wrong.
Definitely do not show your annoyance (which, of course, is understandable). You can mention that you are in some financial trouble, but in no way direct at a SD that it is his fault.
btw, I haven't expressed my displeasure directly to him yet. Just playing it cool to see if he's serious about rescheduling anytime soon. Trying to collect my thoughts in the meantime, get some advice, and sort out how I feel about this.
Sorry everybody…this is an off-topic question, but I really need some advice from the more experienced SBs/SDs. I'm having a dilemma with a potential SD. Not sure what to do about it.
Met this guy thru SA; we've been chatting frequently for about a month. Really hit it off; seem to have everything in common. We've swapped real-world identities and phone numbers, email, social networks, etc…We live in different states, so he had planned to fly down and visit me in my home city this past weekend. The trip had been confirmed 3 weeks in advance, and I was really looking forward to finally meeting him!
He was to fly in last Friday, and was going to spend a few days here. He offered to compensate me $1000 for that time together, and I thought that was fair. However, late Thursday afternoon he texted and said he had some major problems arise at his job and would have to cancel his trip. Because he canceled at the last minute, he wired me $200 as a way of making up for the inconvenience.
I have to be honest and say I was pretty miffed. After planning on spending a wonderful weekend with him, setting other plans aside, and budgeting for a certain amount to pay bills with this month, the last-minute cancellation was more than just an inconvenience. It's put me in a bad way financially, and eroded a lot of my trust in him. Sending me $200 didn't even cover the expenses I was out in preparation for that "lost weekend." I felt insulted.
Maybe I shouldn't feel that way…after all, shit happens…so that's why I'm turning to the blog for some advice. Granted, we do not yet have a formal arrangement, but we did have solidified plans and a budgeted amount I was relying on. If you were in a similar situation, how would you handle it? Would you expect the SD to pay the full amount as promised since he canceled at the last minute on you? Would you expect more than 20% of that amount to make up for the cancellation? Or does that seem fair to you?
I've had long distance SD's before, and trips sometimes did get canceled due to circumstances beyond his control. In those instances, he always sent the full allowance anyway and we would just re-schedule for another time. Now this new potential SD says he wants to re-schedule his visit to my city, but so far he can't tell me a date to pencil in…and I'm very hesitant to set aside time for him now, only to get dumped on AGAIN at the last minute.
Any advice for me? I thought I really liked this guy, but now I'm not so sure…
Don't know what happened before, I can see the missing posts now.
I would hate sharing. Someone a few blog posts back (why can't I remember her name now! I remember her gravatar lol) posted about her experience with an SD and bringing another SB along for the first or second time, I forget which. I thought that was incredibly cool of her, I wouldn't be able to do that.
Well, maybe I could if I thought the reward would be great enough. But to date I've never done it.
Re sharing… Reminds me I can be very naughty sometimes.
Once, my SD decided he wants an addition to our holiday. And, of course, I was fine. I was fine even with a girl (since I was able to choose out of a few 😛 )
But, I just couldn't resist to be naughty. I was the one to book the tickets. And I strictly followed the instructions of booking the most optimal travel option.
Oh well… It is not MY fault that it included changing twice, and at one point going from one airport to another by bus (arrival was in one, departure to the next destination in the other)! Hehehe… And, accidentally travel time took 16 hours, instead of a direct 5.
WHAT? Hehehehe. Gosh. I can be SO bad sometimes.
Mind you, I didn't particularly liked the girl.
Madridista – WELCOME back!
Sacy – those are actual girls… Not familiar with them personally, but have seen them around… They might even be reading the blog… So, calling them "muts" might be a bit too much…
Sharing… MY core personality is possessive. I HATE sharing. ANYTHING. Ice cream, MY drink, clothes (HATE for girls to borrow my clothes, always did), SDs 😀
BUT, one had to learn. So, I am much more open to sharing. In a relationship it takes a LOT of self confidence. But, can be done. And still be the ONE.
Being civilised with a girl – yes. Friends? NO way! Unless she is my friend before she met my SD (again, have to be pretty confident in myself to do that.)
Answering re questions about trips… Some are last minute, some are planned way in advance. Destinations: all over the world.
Last one – Asia. Which was AMAZING! THANK you my Daddy 😛
Do married SDs do that – OH YES! 😛 And even better, since abroad no one knows that they are married.
madristaaaaa you probably don't remember me but I've missed your presence on the blog, glad you're back
Hi sugars! How's everything?
Gosh, I've missed a lot on all these recent topics and enjoyed catching up a bit.
On topic: I've never met any of the other SBs that my SDs may have had. We never discussed it and that suited me just fine because our time was our time and we didn't bring up other sugars or significant others into it. It just wasn't our thing, but when I was active on SA I did come across a profile that had stated that part of the arrangement this one SD was looking for was to spend time with two SBs simultaneously, so it depends on everyone's comfort level.
Off topic:
As I was catching up on the blog, I did come across a comment that I'd like to clarify, I won't call out which SD wrote it, but that wasn't very malicious to spread lies like that. I don't think it was fair to misrepresent me or where my advice is coming from on here. So, clarification: my SD never bought me a villa (lol, I can't even type this with a straight face) and I never had the amount per month that this person stated. I wasn't in it for the money or "fairy tale". And I NEVER even remotely said anything like that anywhere on this blog. Reading comp.= it's not a rocket science. I've been on SA for 6 years, SB for 9, and met my first and last SD offline, not on this or any other sugar site. Therefore, those relationships weren't the basis of my advice or sugar tips. And I don't galavant around Europe for fun, that's part of my job as is spending time with certain athletes. Again, because it's my job and I never said they were all in love with me (that's beyond ridiculous). Sure, most of my boyfriends and dates are those guys because that's the only people I work and, incidentally, friends with. Most people end up dating people in their social circle and for the last 3 years that's been my social circle. Even outside of work, we'd run into each other at restaurants, charity events, clubs, etc. so I don't see how that's any different than dating scene at any other industry. Not to be overly rant-y but it was a bit startling to read that comment that made me seem like I'm in la-la land with men throwing sugar left and right. That's not true and I've worked hard and made a lot of sacrifices to get where I am and the things I've shared was to help put my advice in perspective, so people would know where I'm coming from with my thoughts and why I'm saying the things I am. It was never bragging and there's nothing to brag about really. Sugar helped me accomplish a lot of goals and made life easier and sweeter in some ways. I think I have a very diverse range of experience in sugar both on SA and off, so I'm more than happy to help out some newbie SBs (I wish someone had helped me when I started). Ok, end of rant!
Hmmm…..Interesting, could be a challenge or an added benefit.
Missing posts? There were more here just a minute ago…
I think it'd be awesome idea, if your into sharing and girls.
May arouse you, and his pockets.
Gross – what's with schnozzy and her mutt sidekick on the blog image?
I'd be all for it, a new friend!
First, just 'cause I wanna roll like that!

Chennai, Oct 22:
Powered by a superb ton from Virat Kohli, India defeated South Africa by 35 runs in their fourth and penultimate One-Day International (ODI) at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here on Thursday.
Coming in at the fall of Rohit Sharma, Kohli was part of a couple of crucial 100-plus partnerships with Ajinkya Rahane and Suresh Raina to help the hosts amass a total of 299/8 in 50 overs.
In reply, South Africa could only manage to score 264/9 despite a defiant century from AB de Villiers who scored 112 off 107 deliveries.
With this win, India levelled the five-match series 2-2. (IANS)

A Farewell to Arms - Ernest Hemingway
Author: Ernest Hemingway
File Size (Pages): 568 KB (332)
Published: 2012 (First published 1929)
Genre: Classics, Historical Fiction, Literary Fiction
Challenges: The Classics Club
Edition: E-book
Source: Purchased
Description: Set in the waning days of the First World War, A Farewell to Arms (1929) is the epic love story of American ambulance driver Frederic Henry and British V.A. D. Catherine Barkley, drawn together yet torn apart by the tides of war. (via Goodreads.com)
Thoughts: It was okay. While I liked the overall story of the book, I just felt that Hemingway's use of voice wasn't my style and felt that the interaction between Frederic and Catherine was basically surface level type of conversation and that they really had no depth to their relationship. And if it weren't for my book club group reading the book, I probably wouldn't have read it. Its not that its a bad book, its just that I felt that there wasn't really anything deep between them and felt that Frederic's relationship with the men that he interacted with on a regular basis was more realistic than what he had with Catherine. Then again, Hemingway is hard to understand and that it was my first venture into anything he had written and hopefully I will read another book of his.
Bottom line: I would recommend this book to those that are fans of writers of the 1920s and 1930s, basically if you are a fan of Hemingway's contemporaries.

Azarenka survives as seeds tumble at U.S. Open
Victoria Azarenka dropped her first set of the tournament on Saturday but recovered to book her place in the last 16 at the U.S. Open after two former Grand Slam champions were sent packing.
A finalist last year and one of the favourites to win the title this season, a feisty Azarenka overcame a shaky start to beat Alize Cornet of France 6-7(2), 6-3, 6-2 after Petra Kvitova and Svetlana Kuznetsova crashed out.

Riske stuns Kvitova
Kvitova, the 2011 Wimbledon champion and seventh seed at Flushing Meadows, fell 6-3, 6-0 to American wildcard Alison Riske in their third round match.
Then Kuznetsova, a former U.S. Open and French Open champion, was beaten 7-5, 6-1 by Italy's Flavia Pennetta as the upsets continued.
Russia's Maria Kirilenko, seeded 14th, was thrashed 6-0, 6-1 by in-form Romanian Simona Halep while former world number one Ana Ivanovic had to dig deep to avoid joining the growing casualty list.

Ivanovic survives McHale scare
The Serbian was on the brink of defeat in her center court match against American Christina Mchale before recovering to win 4-6, 7-5, 6-4. She plays Azarenka next.
"I know what to expect," said Ivanovic. "I really want to play against the best and challenge myself, because I'm ready to take them on."

'I made too many mistakes'
As the world number two and reigning Australian Open champion, Azarenka is expected to go deep into the tournament but the Belarussian was given a tough workout from Cornet.
"In the first set, Alize played really well and I made too many mistakes," Azarenka said. "I wasn't patient enough. I had a lot of chances and I didn't convert them."
The U.S. Open is the only Grand Slam where Kvitova has failed to at least make the quarter-finals and the Czech said she was unable to play near her best on Saturday after contracting a virus.
"Unfortunately I was lying in the bed yesterday and I had a fever," Kvitova said. "I tried to play, tried to fight. But my body wouldn't let me fight."

Riske to lock horns with Hantuchova
Drained of energy, Kvitova said she was unable to practice on Friday and went to a Manhattan doctor to find out what was wrong.
"I had a blood test to see if it was bacteria and virus and it was virus. I didn't have any sore throat or anything like that. I had just a very high fever."
Riske burst into tears after her win. The 23-year-old, who still travels with a security blanket that was given to her on the day she was born, has had a long road to her first fourth round appearance at a Grand Slam.
She first tried to qualify for the U.S. Open in 2007 and had never won a main draw match until this year. Now she is through to the last 16, and facing a showdown with Daniela Hantuchova, who saved four match points in her 3-6 7-5 7-6(4) win over Israeli qualifier Julia Glushko.
"The blankie story is out," Riske said. "I'm used to it now. I can't deny it now. It's getting smaller by the week. It can fit in the palm of my hand."

Ferrer through to last 16
Spain's David Ferrer became the first man to reach the round of 16 at this year's U.S. Open when he defeated Kazakhstan qualifier Mikhail Kukushkin on Saturday.
Ferrer, seeded fourth after reaching the French Open final in June, dropped a set for the second match in a row but was otherwise untroubled in his 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 victory.
Kukushkin matched his best performance at a grand slam by reaching the third round but contributed to his own downfall by committing 66 unforced errors, almost twice as many as Ferrer.
The Spaniard was a semi-finalist at the U.S. Open in 2007 and again last year. His next opponent will be either Janko Tipsarevic or Jack Sock.

Nadal roars into fourth round over Dodig
Second-seeded Rafa Nadal extended his 2013 hard court record to 18-0 with a 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 battering of Ivan Dodig of Croatia on Saturday that sent the Spaniard into the fourth round of the U.S. Open.
Nadal, the undisputed King of Clay after winning his eighth French Open earlier this year on the red clay of Roland Garros, continued to show his hard court prowess as he ran the dogged Dodig relentlessly on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
The 2010 U.S. Open winner smacked 37 winners in the two-hour eight-minute victory, nearly double the number registered by Dodig, and showed his versatility by winning 14-of-17 forays to the net set up by his ferocious groundstrokes.
Nadal will play either 13th-seeded American John Isner or Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany for a berth in the quarter-finals.

There is one aspect of this memorable World Cup which will not stick in the mind - the number and severity of injuries. Whilst many Brazilians will be haunted by the spinal injury to Neymar and Mexicans will refer to Hector Moreno's broken leg, Fifa and their Medical Assessment and Research Centre (F-MARC) can be proud of a 40 per cent reduction in injuries across the tournament. This stark reduction likely stems from better player conditioning, more monitoring and fairer play in the game.
The World Cup has historically experienced the highest levels of player injuries across all international football tournaments. Coming at the end of long and arduous European seasons, along with players masking injuries in order to make national team squads, often makes the risk of injury twice the norm.
This disparity has, though, narrowed in recent years. Preliminary data released by Fifa shows that there were 95 injuries reported across all of the games played, seven of which were severe (that is, an injury where a player is ruled out for more than four weeks). We observed this trend in the final, where Germany and Argentina both progressed with very high player availability (seven players on each team started every game).
So what are the reasons? It is widely recognised that the performance of a team is highly influenced by the injury situation; teams that can avoid injuries and keep the players on the pitch are more successful and win more matches. We therefore know that the fundamental responsibility for coaches and medics alike is to keep their top players on the pitch.
Ordinarily the medical team ranks poorly in the hierarchy of an elite level football team, with the major power positions belonging to the managers or technical coaches. In the international game and across the successful club sides though this has started to change, with team doctors more visible and more time being dedicated to injury prevention in both training and game settings.
The focus of these exercises is to protect the player from contact or non-contact injuries through enhanced core stability, balance and eccentric hamstring strength.
Underpinning this player care is also the monitoring of workload, fatigue and sleep patterns, along with ensuring that players declare injuries and are given time to fully rehabilitate before returning to the field.
Lastly, we are starting to see fairer play and less contact injuries in the game, with better refereeing and tackling techniques. Ten red cards during this World Cup is significantly down on the 17 issued in South Africa 2010 and 28 at Germany 2006.
There is no doubt that the world's most popular game is being made safer. What will last in the memory from this World Cup are the seemingly knock-out blows to the heads of Javier Mascherano, Christoph Kramer and Alvaro Pereira. These types of sickening head injuries are a fresh challenge for the footballing authorities, especially against the backdrop of the NFL action suits relating to health issues of former players who suffered repeated concussion.
Strong guidelines are in place. However, a fresh and strong debate is needed over whether to implement a concussion substitution law like in rugby or to impower the team or independent doctor to decide on whether a player should continue. What we know for sure is that the disorientated player should not be allowed to decide for themselves, and the referees should not be making medical decisions.

Review of the Tracfone ZTE Citrine Android SmartphoneThis review of the ZTE Citrine is created by TracfoneReviewer. We have many more full reviews on our Cell Phone Reviews page.
|Full Review of ZTE Citrine
The ZTE Citrine is a small, inexpensive Android phone available from Tracfone for either CDMA or GSM networks that actually packs many similar features and specs found in larger, more expensive devices.
Is this phone the best smartphone from Tracfone for under $50? We will answer that, and share the full specs, features, and details about this phone. We will also give our review, and where to buy this phone at the best price.
Tracfone has been releasing a large number of budget smartphones during 2016 including many ZTE, LG and Samsung devices. You can catch up on what phones are coming out or already released by checking out our posts on New LG and Samsung Tracfone Smartphones and New ZTE, Alcatel and Huawei (Nexus 6P) Tracfone Smartphones.
With the Citrine, the main feature is the low cost, but there are some other good things about this phone. Let's take a look at our quick pro's and con's for the Citrine.
ZTE Citrine Quick FactsThe Good:
-Recent OS - Android 5.1.1
-Low cost - Available for $50, and even $30 some places
-Quad-Core Processor
-CDMA and GSM versions of the phone available
The not so Good
-Small Screen - 4"
-Low Internal Memory - 8 GB
-Low RAM - 1 GB
One of he key features on this phone is that it is very inexpensive, and yet comes with the relatively recent Android 5.1.1 OS which we see mostly on phones that cost twice as much or more.
Another great point to note is that there is a GSM version of this phone and a CDMA version. Just make sure you know which version works in your area (more about this below).
Of course the Citrine can't compete in performance, appearance, or functionality with devices like the Apple iPhone 6 Plus now available from Tracfone, or other high end devices, but it also doesn't have the $500 plus price tag.
Let's take a look at the full features and specs for this smartphone.
ZTE Citrine (Z717VL/716BL) Features and SpecsBelow are the features for the smartphone, followed by the technical specs.
- Android 5.1.1 OS (Lollipop)
- Z717VL version is 4G LTE capable using Verizon network towers
- Z716BL version is 4G HSPA+ capable using AT&T network towers
- Wifi and Bluetooth
- Access to over 1 Million Apps on Google Play
- Alarm Clock
- MP3 Player
- 3 Home Screens
- Handsfree Speaker
- Voice Dialing
- Caller ID, Voicemail, SMS, MMS
- Proximity and Accelerometer sensor
- 3.5mm headphone connection
- Hearing Aid Compatible
- Size: 4.92" x 2.56" x 0.41"
- Screen: 4.0" touchscreen with 800x480 resolution (TFT-LCD)
- 1.1 Ghz Quad-core Processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 210)
- 8 GB Internal Memory plus Micro SD Card slot (up to 32 GB)
- 1650 mAh Battery with Talk Time 12 Hrs, Standby 10 days.
If you notice the battery capacity, it is small, but this phone only has a 4" screen so it doesn't drain the battery as fast as phones with larger screens.
Let's get into our full review of the Citrine.
Tracfone ZTE Citrine ReviewWhat we Like:
There's a lot of good features on this phone, specifically Android 5.1.1, 4G speeds, Quad-core processor and the low cost.
|Front, back and side of the ZTE Citrine - Note the textured back, and side charger port
The Citrine comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor that has four cores, and runs at 1.1 Ghz. With this processor, the Citrine is capable of 4G LTE speeds, and has pretty good responsiveness. It is limited by the RAM, which we will mention more about further on. Basically, in a phone this cheap, it still has reasonably good performance.
Lastly, the price is what will likely draw most of the attention to this phone. It is listed most places for $50, but also available for $30 in a variety of locations, including online. $30 is a great price for this phone.
We also want to remind our readers that there are two versions of the Citrine, one with GSM capability, the other with CDMA capability. So it is available to all Tracfone users, but make sure you get the correct version for your service area.
What we Don't Like
There are some drawbacks about this phone that we want to share so that you can make your own informed decision about buying this device.
First of all, the Citrine has limited internal memory and only 1 GB RAM. Many of Tracfone's smartphones share the same limitations. While it has 8 GB internal memory, only about 2-3 GB is actually usable, depending on which pre-installed apps you keep/update. Because of the low amount of memory and RAM, you won't be able to load very many apps on this phone, and running multiple apps at once will cause the phone to slow down and possibly freeze. This phone is best for calling and texting, and a handful of basic apps like Instagram and Google Maps.
Here is some additional helpful information relating to the internal memory, from one of our readers, KRR:
The total space I see is 8.00GB, System Memory takes up 4.69GB and after updating the variety of apps that are mandatory and adding in apps like The Weather Channel, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Zedge, Google Photos, Tracfone and a couple smaller apps for work I am left with 1.75GB available. Not too shabby all things considered. The Facebook app is a storage hog, so I opted to uninstall it and just access Facebook from the Chrome browser and use Facebook Messenger (since Facebook is staunchly against us accessing our Facebook messages via a browser on a mobile device). I do recommend going in and clearing the cache often (Storage>Used Space>Cached Data).
- KRRThe ZTE Citrine also has a small screen, just 4", which for some is a good thing, and for others a negative. If you're not sure what size screen you prefer, try visiting a Bestbuy, or other electronics store, and test different smartphones. For many, a screen size between 5" and 5.5" is preferred as it makes for easier viewing of videos, messages and everything else.
Camera quality isn't great either on the Citrine, which shouldn't be a surprise at this price point. The rear camera has 5 MP and is adequate for capturing moments as long as there is good light, but the front camera, with only 0.3 MP, will struggle in anything other than good lighting.
Finally, the quality of this ZTE phone is good, but nothing like a high-end smartphone. With most things in life, you get what you pay for, and the same is true for the Citrine. It does have a nice textured back, but it is made from plastic.
Some readers have experienced issues with the quality of ZTE phones, such as the ZTE Quartz, and ZTE Valet. If you experience issues, we suggest contacting the retailer you bought the phone from, or contacting Tracfone. We have not heard any complaints about the quality of the Citrine, but will update as more information becomes available.
Now that we've covered our pro's and con's for the CItrine, we want to answer the question, is this the best phone from Tracfone for under $50? Well, probably. A lot depends on what you're looking for in a phone, and if you're looking to use a variety of apps, you will likely be better off with a more robust smartphone.
That concludes our review of the ZTE Citrine. We will share some additional information, and where to buy the phone.
ZTE Citrine Overview and Where to BuyThe Citrine is a very budget friendly smartphone that is best for those who want to use it for calling/texting and occasional web browsing, email and other basic apps. It will likely struggle at running any apps that are resource intensive, like certain newer games.
This phone is most similar to the LG Lucky, also available from Tracfone. However, the Citrine is an improvement over the lucky in almost every way, with better processor, more memory, better camera, larger screen and more.
You can find the ZTE Citrine available from many retailers including Walmart (GSM version, or here is the CDMA version), Target, Bestbuy, and more.
The Citrine can be found online from many of the same retailers, and also on the Tracfone website.
Some retailers have the phone listed for $50, while others have it discounted at $30, including the Tracfone website and Walmart.
You can take a look at the ZTE Citrine interactive tutorial for help using and navigating the phone.

Another round of reviews (read the previous ones here)
Hawaiian Grilled Chicken
Ok, a few things went wrong. First: before using coconut milk, shake it. I didn't know this so it wasn't too coconutty. Second: I only marinated for 4 hours instead of 8. Third: we bought a bulk meat deal from a local butcher. I didn't realize that 1lb. of chicken would be one breast instead of 2-3. This caused me to completely scramble at the last minute for another dinner for the kids. However, I was happy with how it cooked and if I had let it marinade longer the flavour would have been better. This I will make again.
**I have made a second time and it was awesome! I let it marinade over night and cooked on the indoor grill. This was a hit!
Cowboy Casserole
I had this as left overs, which I was told wasn't as good as the night before, but I liked it. It's basically Sheppard's Pie topped with tater tots instead of mashed potatoes. A good kid friendly meal.
Corn Chowder
This was pretty good and the kids loved it. I did forget the red peppers and celery (I don't know how) and it was missing "something" so add at least the celery, although the red pepper adds colour. Danny later said it needs some bacon, but he says that about most soups. It does make a lot so plan for a left over night or freeze it - I googled it and you can freeze it with the milk in it. The potatoes might get a little soggy in the defrosting but in soup do you notice?
Chocolate Cupcakes
This is the recipe I used for Lynden's birthday cupcakes. The recipe said it makes 16 but I didn't alternate between the flour and milk and ended up with 42 cupcakes between 2 batches. I found them to be a little dry; but I don't know if that's because of how I added the milk (slowly added) or my oven, which is quite off. They were flavourful cupcakes though.
White Turkey Stew
I was really looking forward to this and I was really disappointed. I didn't enjoy the flavour (too much cumin) and we used beans you had to presoak and they were terrible, which didn't help. The kids ate a bit of it, but we didn't push it since we didn't eat more than a few bites (we ended up having A&W for dinner)
Slow Cooker Chicken
I only had this after left overs and I liked it. Danny said he would have it again but would crisp the skin after (bake at 500 for 15 minutes). I didn't plan it properly, we had it just a few days before Thanksgiving (we had 2 turkey dinners), so I don't know we enjoyed it to its fullest. A great way to have a nice dinner without the fuss.
Teriyaki "Dump" Chicken
This was a hit! Lynden actually asked for seconds, which he never does. I like the idea of "dump" chicken - throw your chicken in with some marinade and freeze. Take it out when you want and you don't have to worry about seasoning the meat later. I'm looking forward to trying out some other recipes.
Pumpkin Spice Muffins
One of the big perks of Thanksgiving (besides turkey) is pumpkin flavoured stuff. Oh, I love it! I bought a large can of pumpkin puree and made pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin cookies, and had enough left over for pumpkin muffins. I quite liked these ones. They weren't as moist as I was expecting them to be and I didn't have time to make the icing, but the cinnamon sugar topping was good enough. Great flavour; a Definite keeper.
Morning Glory Muffin
This was my second recipe for morning glory muffins and I liked this one better. The first recipe I felt was missing something and were drier, these are great. The recipe made 24 and they didn't last long. Danny preferred the original recipe more so I'll make both recipes again and see which we like more.

Apple Mac computers hit with first ransomware attack, researchers find
Cyberattackers targeted Apple users over the weekend with the first known ransomware written specifically for Apple software, according to security firm Palo Alto Networks.
Ransomware is a fast-growing threat that encrypts data on infected machines and demands that users pay a ransom in digital currencies, such as Bitcoin, to receive an electronic key so they can retrieve their data.
[Also: Hollywood Presbyterian gives in to hackers, pays ransom]
The most high-profile ransomware attack happened just last month when attackers struck Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center and held its data hostage, effectively reverting the hospital back to a pre-digital state in which employees used paper records and fax machines.
While most pieces of ransomware target Windows operating systems, in this new case hackers attacked Macs through a tainted copy of a program known as Transmission, which can transfer data via the BitTorrent peer-to-peer file sharing network, Palo Alto Networks explained. Any Mac users that downloaded version 2.90 of Transmission, released on Friday, were infected with the ransomware.
"On March 4, we detected that the Transmission BitTorrent client installer for OS X was infected with ransomware, just a few hours after installers were initially posted," Palo Alto Networks said on its site. "We have named this Ransomware KeRanger."
Transmission responded by removing the malicious version of its software from its website and . on Sunday it released a version that it claims automatically removes the ransomware from infected Macs. Transmission users were advised to immediately install the new update, version 2.92, if they suspected they might be infected.
KeRanger is programmed to stay quiet for three days after infecting a computer, then connect to the attacker's command and control servers to start encrypting files so they cannot be accessed, Palo Alto Networks added.
[Like Healthcare IT News on Facebook]
"The malware then begins encrypting certain types of document and data files on the system," the company said. "After completing the encryption process, KeRanger demands that victims pay one bitcoin (about $400) to a specific address to retrieve their files."
If paying the ransom seems far-fetched, hospital executives should know that's exactly what Hollywood Presbyterian was forced to do when they settled for a $17,000 ransom.

About a consult
At our appointment, let's keep it low key and talk about what you love. We'll look at what you already have and find the color to bring it all together. If you are deliberating about paint color, we can zero in on what will work best. My joy lies in finding what you want, not what I want. Also, each consult for paint colors includes a personal custom palette of colors for you to keep. Schedule here
What do we do at an appointment?
You give me a brief tour of the space and give me your visions, if any. After some Q and A, we'll arrive at a general plan. I'll then take a few minutes to come up with specific paint options. When we reconvene and make final selections, working solutions are narrowed down for you so that you can enjoy "the fun part" of choosing colors.
On what kinds of things do you consult?
Surface choices: I provide guidance on your choices of paint, as well as other surfaces (tile, carpet, etc). Paint colors are my specialty. I am educated in all the nuances of paint colors and how they "behave". And some are more well-behaved than others!
Re-Mix: Rearranging and repurposing. Using what you already have, finding new uses for things that are nearly forgotten — I love this. Often, in choosing paint and surface colors, the homeowner and I begin moving their possessions around to create new accents. Saving money AND renewing your space.
Do you consult on exteriors?
Love them! As long as we have daylight and the weather cooperates, let's do it.
Why aren't your "After" photos staged?
My strength is choosing backdrops for what you have. For a complete redesign including new floor plans, moving walls, purchasing custom furniture, I will refer you to some amazing full-scale designers. My photos show that the homeowner and I chose new backdrops for their regular daily life.
I don't want to spend a lot of time getting a full-blown design plan and buying new stuff.
Neither do I. I don't consult on structural changes or buy custom furniture. I'm happy to recommend amazing designers who work in those realms. I work on room color schemes that go with what you have.
But I like Neutrals
Me too. Neutrals are the most complicated type of colors to choose. Most have more than one undertone, and I can help you sort through the thousands of choices that will blend seamlessly with what you have. There's: beige, buff, sand, khaki, mushroom, latte, jicama, buff, tan, bark, moss, cork, ginger, moonlight, cotton, wicker, desert, maple, almond, stone, parchment, willow, cement…see what I mean?
Do you take E-Clients ?
Although we used to do long-distance consults in years past, this service is no longer available.

Highlighting the beautiful island, Barbados.
This blog site pays tribute to the rich beauty of the island and its people, which some of us who left its shores long for; and which, to those of us who are lucky enough to return, makes it impossible for us to want to leave again.
All content on this Blog unless otherwise stated is exclusively mine, and may not be reproduced or copied without my consent, or a link to the Blog and acknowledgement of my authorship.
Queen Hephzibah*
Barbados is a small independent nation in the Caribbean, celebrating its 50th anniversary of Independence on November 30, 2016. It has a parliamentary form of government, after the Westminster Model. Since November 30, 1966 when it became officially independent, the island and its people have thrived and prospered in spite of its size and economic challenges.
Located easterly of the Lesser Antilles (The Caribbees) at latitude: 13 10′ of the Equator and longitude: 59 32′ of the Prime Meridan, Barbados is comfortably nestled between the Atlantic Ocean to its east, and the Caribbean Sea to its west. It is fed by the Trade Winds.
It was first inhabited by Amerindians until about the 15th Century when it was claimed by the Spanish/Portuguese. Then in 1625 the English arrived and around 1627 Barbados became an English colony. All that changed with Independence in November 1966.
In 1937 Barbados saw its first and, to date, 0nly riot. This riot, on July 26, was part of a greater labour uprising in the British colonies. It is seen as the beginning of the coherent movement of nationalism and has been credited with sowing the seeds that led to Independence in 1966.
Premier Errol Walton Barrow was to become the Prime Minister.
The Barbados Constitution is a good thing.

Talk about being different. Swiss watch manufacturer, IWC Schaffhausen has launched Skywriter, a global digital platform meant to actively engage with their web clientele and online followers, while introducing their new watch collection.
The Skywriter campaign allows users to "write" messages in a digital sky on your handheld, desktop or laptop and share it with third party social media platforms – no apps required. This campaign is part of the #B_ORIGINAL campaign by IWC for the new Pilots Watches collection launched at Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in Geneva this year.
Before writing a sky message, users will have to select one of the four aircrafts, and following which, you'll be shown the watch that is associated with your aircraft of choice. If it's not your style, pick another from the four choices, then embark on the trip among the clouds and leave your personal message across the sky. Don't forget to share it on social media like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, WhatsApp, Weibo, or direct email, and via the "save message" function on Instagram.
Skywriter can be assessed here and it is available in 10 languages. Join in, enjoy your flight and leave your message – just like we did.
