Destination weddings are our favourite, simply because they are full of inspirational ideas for every bride. Today's blog post will feature the beautiful union of Keith and Catherine in Phuket Thailand, captured by the very talented photographer and a good friend of mine David Christopher.
Their Story
Keith and Catherine were summer lovers, they first met in 2006 while Catherine was backpacking on an around the world trip, that started in her hometown England and led her to her soulmate in Sydney. As this romantic summer love story continues Keith was working with the backpackers when he first laid eyes on his future wife.
From the very first moment I saw her, she took my breath away. I thought she was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen." Keith
The summer romance blossomed as the days went by, and Keith spent more time with Catherine. Summer came to an end and Keith decided to move to the UK for a year in hope that both him and Catherine will grow closer together. With their mutual interest to explore the world Keith and Catherine spent the following two years travelling and making memories. A blossoming romance that fought all odds of distance magically continued into 2013, when both Keith and Catherine moved to the UK permanently.
The proposal
On Catherine's birthday in 2013 Keith proposed in the iconic Trafalgar Square, along side friends and family and a pre-arranged busker that played some of their favourite songs.
Once she said yes, I whisked her off to Paris for the night. After 4 years in London, we now live in Dubai." Keith
The Wedding
As they were both Summer lovers it seemed fit that they should have a Summer wedding, and what better place than Phuket Thailand, with the help of a wedding planner from Luxury Events Phuket, a glamorous Galia Lahav wedding dress, and the fantastic photographer David Christopher both Keith and Catherine had the wedding of their dreams.
The most important thing to us at the wedding was having the most cherished people in our lives from opposite sides of the world meet, to join us in our celebration of our commitment to each other. No single thing stood out above the other, as everything meant something special to us in its own way. It was all amazing and something we will truly cherish. The lanterns, fireworks and party certainly helped to make it epic." Keith
We love the colourful wedding palette, sentimental decor, and firework display. It's clear to see that both the guests and Mr & Mrs had a fantastic time.
Everything was planned out perfectly, the groomsmen strutted down the aisle as if it was a runway followed by the beautiful flower girls, and bridesmaids. Keith had the biggest smile on his face when he laid eyes on his lovely bride.
What a wonderful way to end an evening, congratulations to the wonderful couple thank you for sharing your special day with us, and a special thank you to David Christopher the photographer.

Old Regent Ballroom
19 Corringham Road,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Located in Stanford-Le-Hope, Essex. The Regent Cinema was a small independent that opened in February 1935 with "20 Million Sweethearts" starring Dick Powell & Ginger Rogers. It had an unusual design in that the entrance area was at a 90 degree angle to the main hall. The cinema was equipped with stage facilities and had one dressing room.
It normally played second string to the big cinemas in nearby Grays – showing only second run films. It closed as a cinema in the 1970's. The auditorium had a floor built across at balcony level, and the ground floor became a bingo club, with the upstairs used as a pool and snooker hall, operating as the Regent Leisure Centre. Eventually Riley's snooker took over the entire building. It was closed in the early-2000's, and the building suffered water damage.
Taken over by new owners in 2013, it was renamed Old Regent Ballroom, and presents cabaret and other events downstairs, and a ballroom/dance studio upstairs.
Recent comments (view all 1 comments)
The chief projectionist was the late Jim Frostick. Some years after the Regent closed, he became the 2nd operator at the State Grays. Mr Frostick passed away in 2011. The assistant operator was Ken Butler, who still lives in the town. Mr Butler also became a part time projectionist at the State Grays.

Arthritis and Chondroitin
In This Article
Chondroitin gives structure to the cartilage. It is one of the few arthritis solutions that can help rebuild the cartilage and reverse some of the damage done to the joints.
Arthritis refers to a number of related joint disorders that involves inflammation and pain.
Of the more than 100 types of arthritis, the most common ones are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout arthritis, septic arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis.
Joint pain is the main complaint of arthritis. This pain is caused by the degeneration of joint tissue as a result of disease, inflammation or regular straining of the joint muscles. Besides pain and inflammation, stiffness and restriction in movement are the other features of all forms of arthritis.
Although arthritis can affect people of all ages, it mostly affects the elderly. It also affects women more than men.
Arthritis is the most common cause of disability worldwide. Because it reduces the range of motion and the extent of movement of those it affects, arthritis may trigger other health complications such as obesity, heart disease, and depression.
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It is caused by the result of daily wear and tear of joints which shows with age although it may also be a result of injury to the joint.
Osteoarthritis affects the joints that bear the body's weight. This means that it can be caused and worsened by obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. It usually worsens after exercising.
Osteoarthritis is usually situated at the pelvic, back and spine joints. It also affects post-menopausal women more than men or younger women.
Treatment options for osteoarthritis include pain relievers to reduce pain; physical therapy to improve muscular strength and flexibility of the joints; and surgery if the joints are too bad to respond to conventional treatments.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
In rheumatoid arthritis, the cartilage is eroded by an autoimmune attack rather than daily wear and tear. Therefore, rheumatoid arthritis can affect people of all ages.
It is mostly situated at the joints of the fingers, wrists, elbows, and knees. Therefore, it causes stiffness in these joints and may cause deformities if left untreated. The pain and stiffness of rheumatoid arthritis are at their worst in the morning.
Early diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis can produce remarkable results.
The drugs of choice are corticosteroids to reduce joint inflammation and monoclonal antibodies to reduce the autoimmune attack causing the degeneration of the joints.
Gouty Arthritis
Gouty arthritis involves the deposition of crystals of uric acid in the joints of the toe, ankles, knees, and elbows. This causes pain and inflammation and may lead to the crippling of the limb attached to the joint.
What is Chondroitin?
Chondroitin is one of the drug options used in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
Compared to conventional arthritis medications such as corticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), chondroitin produces lesser side effects and is safe for long-term treatment.
Chondroitin is part of a proteoglycan that gives structure to cartilage.
It is a glycosaminoglycan which is capable of binding to structural proteins. Basically, chondroitin is a family of sulfated sugars of varying lengths. The sugars making up the structure of chondroitin are the monosaccharides, D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine.
These sugars are alternated into straight, unbranched polysaccharides of different lengths. Each sugar in the chain can be left without a sulfate group or with one or two sulfate groups attached.
Chondroitin sulfate is one of a group of proteoglycans called aggrecan.
Aggrecans, such as chondroitin sulfate, aggregate together tightly but are highly charged. Because they carry the same electrical charge, chondroitin molecules generate electrostatic repulsion which provides a force of resistance in the cartilage of the joint against compression. This repulsive force is responsible for the cushioning effect of the cartilage.
Besides its structural function, chondroitin also plays a regulatory role in the central nervous system.
In the brain, it helps stabilize the synapses of the neurons. It is also produced in increased amounts after an injury to the central nervous system to protect the damaged nerve endings.
However, the chief medical use of chondroitin is to treat osteoarthritis by contributing to the structural repair of the cartilages.
Chondroitin: Supplement, Drug & Safety
In the US, chondroitin is sold as a dietary supplement for the purpose. However, in other countries especially in Europe, chondroitin sulfate is recognized as an osteoarthritis drug and classified as a slow-acting medication to relieve the symptoms of the disease.
Chondroitin is commonly formulated and sold in combination with glucosamine.
Chondroitin sulfate is available as capsules, tablets and powder forms. The dose for this oral formulation of the drug is 800 to 1200 mg taken 2 – 4 times daily.
Chondroitin produces no serious side effects even during long-term treatments. The most common side effects of chondroitin are gastrointestinal upsets, gas, nausea, diarrhea, and constipation. Even these side effects mostly occur at very high doses (10 g daily) of the drug.
Rare and theoretical side effects of the drug include a headache, hair loss, edema, chest pain, high blood pressure, bone marrow depression, and bleeding. Chondroitin may also trigger allergic reactions in a few people especially in asthmatics.
Allergic reactions to chondroitin should be treated as medical emergencies.
In addition, chondroitin is not recommended for pregnant and lactating women since its effects during pregnancy and breastfeeding are not well studied. Furthermore, people who have a high risk of developing prostate cancer are not advised to use the drug because a preliminary study indicates a possible link.
Since chondroitin is similar in structure to anticoagulants such as heparin and warfarin, it may also inhibit blood clotting. Therefore, it should not be taken alongside these drugs.
In spite of these side effects and contraindications, chondroitin is considered a very safe drug for treating osteoarthritis. In fact, it causes no drug-drug interactions since it is not metabolized by cytochrome P450, the enzyme family responsible for drug metabolism.
Therefore, there is no safer alternative to chondroitin sulfate in the management of osteoarthritis.
Because chondroitin also relieves arthritic pain, the doses of NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen, are reduced when taken together. This is beneficial because it means that patients will experience fewer side effects of NSAIDs while still experiencing the same level of pain relief.
How Chondroitin Works for Arthritis
Different studies have identified the therapeutic benefits of chondroitin in the treatment of osteoarthritis especially when arthritis affects the hip or knees. The efficacy of chondroitin is further improved when combined with glucosamine.
Researchers have determined that chondroitin sulfate has multiple mechanisms of action in the treatment of osteoarthritis. There are 3 main ways chondroitin provides relief for the pain and swelling associated with this degenerative disease.
First, chondroitin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory activity, especially at the joints.
At the same site, it promotes the synthesis of proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid. This means that when chondroitin is taken orally, it can stimulate the production of new chondroitin to strengthen the cartilages of the joint.
Lastly, chondroitin reduces the destructive action of chondrocytes.
To do this, it inhibits the production of nitric oxide, enzymes that split structural proteins into peptides, and other substances known to kill off chondrocytes and damage the cartilage.
To protect the chondrocytes from self-destruction, chondroitin sulfate inhibits the relocation of a specific nuclear factor (nuclear factor-kB) in the chondrocytes.

Cheap offers on holidays from Cork Airport to destinations across Europe. Located a few kilometres outside the city centre, Cork Airport is a great alternative to Dublin and Shannon airports. Offering regular flights direct to cities like Paris and Milan, as well as holiday destinations like Lanzarote and Malaga. A nation in its own right, it's only right that Cork is home to one of Ireland's fastest growing airport.
With more than 50 European routes and new ones regularly being added, it's no surprise that 2.2 million passengers use Cork Airport every year. During the peak summer season, about 7,000 people a day are making their holidays from Cork.
Holidays from Cork Airport are ideal for those living within the "Rebel County", as it offers an alternative to Shannon and Dublin. Not travelling across the country before you've started your holiday can save both time and money.
There were calls for an airport to be built in Cork as far back as 1928, although it took several decades before there was any real progress. Since it was eventually built in 1961, it has emerged as one of the three main international airports in Ireland, and is always looking to expand.
All offers are subject to availability and are typically based on 2 people sharing.

I caught a re-run of Room 101 that had Fay Ripley as a guest and one thing she wanted to put into Room 101 was shy people. She was of the opinion that being shy was akin to being rude. She lamented diner parties and the like where people struggle to return conversation, exclaiming it was just a drain on her energies. It seems that we shy people were only put on earth to spoil her social occasions and act as a bar to the furthering of her pleasures, to such an extent that she would rather we just don't exist at all.
Luckily Paul Merton recalled his own childhood experiences, and so refused to consign us all to Room 101 saying that some people can't really help being shy and it doesn't make us bad people. If I ever appear on Room 101 I'll put 40-something women with breasts like Spaniel's ears wearing push-up bras into Room 101.

This is such a great and humorous read. UX doesn't stop on the job. True UXers live it.
If you are thinking about a career in User Experience (UX) you may be drowning in all the areas you can specialize. How do you decide? User research? Content strategy? Visual design? Code! Metrics? Service design? Information architecture? Search Engine Optimization?
Apply UX Techniques to everyday activities
Every day you have an opportunity to try different UX techniques. I'm not going to suggest building your own mobile app, redesigning a well-known website, or designing a t-shirt for a cause. Those are terrific ways to establish your portfolio once you know what you want to do.
Instead, I'm going to encourage you to try an unconventional, low-cost, and beneficial activity that will help you explore UX specialties like content strategy, information architecture, and user research: Clean and organize your refrigerator.
What does cleaning your refrigerator have to do with a User Experience career!?!?!
The first steps in cleaning your refrigerator are a lot like conducting a content inventory and audit.

Chapter VII: losing rationale
"All explorers are seeking something they have lost. It is seldom that they find it, and more seldom still that the attainment brings them greater happiness than the quest."
-Arthur C. Clarke
"What's bothering you today?" he heard her annoyed voice ask him as she took a seat next to him on the window sill of the Gryffindor common room.
"Do I sense a bit of aggravation in your tone?" he asked, amusedly cocking an eyebrow at her.
"Naturally, Voldemort's dead and you still find cause to mope. You truly are one of a kind, Harry," she commented with a slightly pained smile.
He let out a small chortle at hearing her sarcastic quip. "How do you always know just what to say to make me feel better?"
"I've told you time and time again Potter; I'm just perfect like that. Now, come on, tell me what's bothering you."
He shrugged. "Nothing special."
"You know, Potter, it's quite pathetic when the bookworm has to tell you to learn to seize the day. You're always so broody, and, yes, many of the girls surely find it sexy, but I'm afraid your mates would beg to differ," she told him with a wink. "Just let it go Harry, there's no point in crying over spilt milk. You finally have the chance to really have a life, take advantage of that. Carpe diem, Harry, carpe diem," she told him with a smile before getting up to leave.
"You know how we had that conversation a week ago?" Neville asked as he let himself into Harry's office, taking the liberty of seating himself on the couch.
Harry's eyebrow furrowed in confusion. "Not that I don't love your company, mate, but what are you doing here?—I thought professors were supposed to be dedicated to their work."
"No Herbology classes until one today so I thought I'd come and visit you, apparated from Hogsmeade," he explained with a noncommittal wave. "Anyway, back onto more important matters, remember what we talked about then?"
"Well it'd be rather pathetic if I forgot given what my confession was," Harry rolled his eyes as he returned his attention to the paperwork he had previously been working on.
"Eyes up then because I have an important question."
"And I have important work to do so I'm afraid it's not going to happen, deadline's in two hours and I've only just started," he distractedly told him as he rifled through some papers, eyebrows furrowed in deep concentration.
"Okay fine, reasonable enough. So here's the thing, ever since you said what you did, I've been thinking-"
"Lo and behold, he can use his brain," Harry teased him with a grin.
"Yes I can, and I must say I'm rather talented at it too. Now I shall astound you with my brilliance through one question."
"And what's that?" Harry asked him as he took out a quill and began writing a few notes on the work he'd been reading.
"Well… okay, so don't be offended or anything by this question… I mean if you think about it, it's a perfectly reasonable thing to ask…" Neville stumbled, the old nervous teenage version of him slowly reappearing with each word.
"Nev, whatever it is, it's fine, I trust you. Just say what you need to say."
He did exactly that as he tactlessly spat out the words. "Are you sure you're in love with her?"
Harry's quill slipped as he heard the question and he lifted his head to look at Neville, who had moved from the couch and was currently pacing the room. "What do you mean?"
"Well it's like this… I was thinking about everything that you said and your history with girls-"
Comprehension dawned upon him as the confused frown that was marring his face quickly disappeared. "In other words Ginny."
"Yeah," Neville sheepishly admitted.
Harry clenched his jaw as he forced himself to stay rational and not let his temper get the best of him, a great feat on his part. "So how'd that lead to this then?"
"Well what if you're not in love with her, but the idea of her. I mean it's easy to fall for her… she could easily be a savior of sorts… I just can't help but wonder if it's misplaced affection."
"It's not."
"But how can you be so sure? I mean you haven't seen her in two years now, she's not the same person anymore; you know that as well as I do, whether you choose to admit it or not. Really, the entire point of leaving was so that she could change, to become someone else; so how can you be so sure that you'll love this person as well?"
"I get letters from her-"
"But that's it, your only form of communication, Harry."
He let out a deep groan. "Have you ever felt like that missing piece… without it life felt worthless?"
"That could be for a friend too, Harry," Neville reasoned.
"Have you?" he gruffly repeated.
"I've felt that way for two years now, I miss her and there's nothing I can do about it. All I have now are these memories of her, ones that I'm replaying in my mind nonstop so I can at least have her by me in some form or another. I fell in love with her as I analyzed each moment, remembered her reaction to everything, how she supported me, teased me… how she was always there."
"But Harry… what if it's just some sort of misplaced affection?"
"It's not!" he adamantly defended himself, almost petulantly so.
"Have you ever thought that maybe you told me because subconsciously or something you wanted me to tell you that it wasn't true, because maybe you needed someone to tell you that it was all a farce?"
Harry shook his head. "That's not it."
"I can't deny the fact that I think you could learn from Ron's example—take a page from his book, so to speak. Don't let that one event dictate the rest of your life like this. He's moved on and so should you," Neville let out a deep breath. "But, then again, I guess I also can't change your mind, you have to be willing to do that on your own, on your own terms too. I can see that much at least… but be careful mate, when she comes back, whenever that may be, you may find that you're severely disappointed if you realize that you were only in love with an idea this entire time. It's a horrible fate, that's a feeling I know, and I'm telling you now, it can break you," he told him before exiting the office.

Snoop dogg from Rollin 20 crips release a single called "Im FromLong Beach"
Snoop dogg from Rollin 20 crips release a single called "Im FromLong Beach"
I wonder if Snoop Dog knows Dwayne Cross. He should know him because Dwayne says he is the Boss and overall Leader of the Rollin' 20's Niggers in Long Beach. Dwayne has also admitted that he's a Faggot and likes to have sex with younger Nigger Slave Boys. I think Snoop Dog should make a Video showing Dwayne sucking the dick of some younger Nigger Slave Boy while another Nigger Slave boy has his dick up Dwayne's big dirty filthy Nigger Ass. That should be the new slogan for the Rollin 20's.
" Join the Rollin' 20's under the direction of head Nigger Dwayne Cross". LMAO

Ultra BOOST: Greatest Running Shoe Ever
Attending athletes and guests experienced the superiority of Ultra BOOST through state-of-the-art live testing demonstrations using the ARAMIS system also used by top engineering institutions like NASA, Boeing and Audi to measure crash tests, vibration analysis and durability studies. adidas developed Ultra BOOST using ARAMIS' 3D shape and surface measurement to provide a fully adaptable running experience. Ultra BOOST intuitively adjusts to a runner's stride delivering the unrivalled Energy Return of BOOST™, superior support and adaptive comfort over hundreds of kilometres, in virtually any environment.
"To answer the world's athletes' call for more Energy we aimed to create the greatest running shoe ever and we've done exactly that with Ultra BOOST," said Eric Liedtke, adidas Executive Board Member. "adidas has raised the industry standard with BOOST and will continue blazing a path in Energy Running for those who dare to follow."
Ultra BOOST features 20 percent more* BOOST cushioning material, the highest Energy Return cushioning in the running industry, and has eliminated the traditional EVA midsole for more direct contact to provide the ultimate expression of BOOST. Made of thousands of unique energy capsules, BOOST delivers a consistent performance over hundreds of kilometres, in virtually any condition.
To complement the unrivalled Energy Return of BOOST, Ultra BOOST features an innovative update to adidas' PRIMEKNIT technology built to reach new heights of comfort, support and style.
A runner's foot can remarkably expand up to 10 mm or more in width while running. When restrained, this expansion can cause severe discomfort, friction and the leading injury in running, blisters. Unlike other leading knit technologies the innovative PRIMEKNIT pattern of Ultra BOOST provides comfortable support in less expansive areas of the foot and adaptive stretch where it's needed to deliver maximum comfort.
One of the most advanced features of Ultra BOOST is the Stretch Web outsole that adapts and stretches to your foot strike and movement. The perforated elastic design harnesses and maximizes the Energy of BOOST without restricting any of its qualities. The unique appearance of the Stretch Web outsole is the perfect look to complement the eye-catching Energy capsules of BOOST.
Ultra BOOST also features an entirely new heel construction that frees the natural movement of the Achilles tendon. A carefully tuned external heel counter comfortably cradles the foot and adapts to the high extension of the Achilles. A new featherweight sock liner adapts to the runner's natural foot form, for a customized fit and feel.
Ultra BOOST also boasts a new dual-density TORSION® SYSTEM, embedded into the shoe's base. This allows more independent movement between heel and forefoot for superior stability and a smooth, more controlled run. adidas Ultra BOOST will be available in leading adidas stores in the Philippines and Runnr BGC from February 25, 2015 at PHP8295.

Sixty-sixth United Nations General Assembly
New York, September 21, 2011
THE MINISTER – The French President devoted the bulk of his speech at the United Nations General Assembly to the question of the Middle East and resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. You'll have noted in his speech his desire to create a new dynamic, first of all on the basis of one observation: that the extraordinary upheavals that have taken place in the Arab world – generally called the Arab Spring – make the status quo and a stalemate in the situation more unacceptable than ever.
It's more necessary than ever to act. We're saying this to Israel, as a friend of Israel. Everything around Israel has changed: in Egypt, in Syria, and relations with Turkey are strained. There's no other way for Israel to guarantee in the long term her security, to which France is very deeply committed. You'll have noted in President Sarkozy's speech the sentence where he explains that, in the event of a threat to Israel, France would immediately stand by Israel's side. But – I repeat – the only way to achieve peace and security is by negotiating and concluding a peace agreement with the Palestinians.
We're saying to our Palestinian friends that we understand their impatience, their desire to act and the steps that led them to bring the matter to the United Nations, but that the procedure they've chosen is most certainly doomed to failure.
In these conditions, what can we do and how do we act? I'd like to emphasize the four central themes of President Sarkozy's proposals.
First of all, changing our method – quite simply because the current method hasn't succeeded for many years, not to mention decades – and adopting a more collective approach bringing together all those who can help break the deadlock in the situation: that is, most probably, all the permanent members of the Security Council, the European Union and big European states that are not permanent Security Council members, and the main Arab states involved in the region.
Second theme to work on: we must create the conditions for resuming the negotiations. There's no other possible route in order to achieve peace, guarantee Israel's security and finally give the Palestinians what they have a right to: namely, a fully-fledged state.
The broad parameters of these negotiations are known; I won't dwell on them. They're the Madrid principles, the road map, the Arab peace initiative, President Obama's speech on 19 May and the parameters agreed by the European Union. Everyone knows the aim of the negotiations, too: mutual recognition of two nation-states for two peoples, established on the basis of the 1967 lines, with agreed and equivalent exchanges of territory. President Sarkozy really insisted that, if we sincerely want to relaunch this negotiation process, we mustn't set any preconditions. Of course, once they're sitting around the table again, it will be up to the Israelis and Palestinians to find ways of moving forward and adopting the agreements that will lead to peace.
The third crux of the proposals is that these negotiations mustn't go on forever. So France is proposing that precise deadlines be set enabling the progress of the negotiations to be assessed: the resumption of talks within a month – there's no reason to delay –, six months to reach agreement on borders and security, and a year to come to a definitive agreement. Along the way, France is proposing to host a donors' conference as early as this autumn, which could also make it possible to move ahead with the negotiations.
Finally, the fourth point: as part of this approach, President Sarkozy has proposed to work on raising Palestine's status within the United Nations and thus take the first step along the path to creating a fully-fledged state by recognizing for Palestine the status of non-member, observer state.
That puts into perspective President Sarkozy's speech this morning and France's broad proposals.
President Sarkozy informed President Mahmoud Abbas of them yesterday and, as you've doubtless heard, the Palestinians have just stated that their reaction to the French proposals is positive and they're ready to work on them.
This morning President Sarkozy also met Prime Minister Netanyahu, who noted the French proposals. The Israeli Prime Minister and the French Head of State decided to continue their contacts.
Q. – What comments did Mr Netanyahu make regarding the French proposal? Even if the proposal is well received by the Palestinians, do they still plan to go to the Security Council? If so, what will France's position be?
THE MINISTER – Regarding the first point, I told you what I had to say, i.e. that Prime Minister Netanyahu has taken note of the French proposals, and I trust you to decipher what this diplomatic language means. Regarding the second point, it's not up to us to persuade the Palestinians to give up the initiative they've taken. We simply told them that it wouldn't be successful given the position taken by the United States. For the moment, it's not a question of how France might vote since the vote hasn't been scheduled – if I may say so – and all our efforts that I've just recalled are aimed specifically at ensuring that this question doesn't arise at the Security Council.
Q. – When President Sarkozy says: "let's change our method" does that mean ending US control of the issue?
THE MINISTER – Obviously, I can't share your expression "US control". The United States has a key role to play in the search for peace; we simply believe that she won't achieve it on her own. Furthermore, that's what we've noted for a number of years now. We think that the EU has a role to play, that all the permanent members of the Security Council have a role to play and that the Arab countries – Egypt for example, and others – also have a role to play - hence this proposal for a more collective approach.
Q. – Do you have confidence in the Israeli and Palestinian leaders? If all the diplomatic efforts fail, don't you think we're heading into the unknown?
THE MINISTER – To answer your question, the answer is obviously yes. If we're trying to take initiatives, move things forward and create a new dynamic, it's because we think the status quo is appalling and intolerable for everyone, that it can only lead to a stalemate, and perhaps unfortunately to the resumption of violence. So from this point of view, we're certain that we have to get back to the negotiating table and move forward. Regarding the first point, if there isn't a minimum degree of trust between the two parties, we'll never achieve anything. Our role is precisely to calm things down, to calm the emotions that have always marked these relations.
Q. – Do you consider the leaders of both sides to be credible?
THE MINISTER – These are the leaders of Israel and Palestine. It's not up to us to change them or choose them. We're telling them to sit down at the negotiating table and we're telling them that France trusts them since we're a friend of both Israel and the Palestinians.
Q. – In President Sarkozy's speech, there was a proposal for a new status for Palestine and also insistence that the negotiations should resume without preconditions. Does that mean that in terms of France's position the two things are linked?
THE MINISTER – France is proposing an approach, she's not proposing a package that's all sewn up. We're going to work on this now with all those who want to work on it: the Palestinians, we're continuing our contacts with the Israelis. We're also going to work with our European partners and those Arab States that wish to do so. All this will be clarified but, in our mind, the two things must in fact go hand in hand, i.e. the resumption of the negotiations and progress on enhancing the status of the Palestinians at the UN General Assembly.
Q. – The timeframe seems to greatly resemble what Lady Ashton herself worked on within the Quartet. Does that mean that President Sarkozy took inspiration from the work that was done at EU level, and are we moving towards a common European position?
THE MINISTER – Regarding the first point, we're working very closely with the High Representative and Mr Tony Blair. We hope that the Quartet will be successful. We said that we would support these proposals provided that they were acceptable – or will be acceptable – both to the Palestinians and the Israelis, and that they were balanced. The Quartet has a very useful role to play.
Regarding the question of a common European position, that's something that we'll continue to discuss. To be very frank, there are differences of opinion today between the Europeans.
Q. – What more will you offer than the Quartet? What will happen before Friday's speech?
THE MINISTER – Regarding the first point, the answer is quite simple: the Quartet doesn't include the five Security Council members. By proposing to change our method, we aim to expand the circle in order to involve the actors who we believe have a major role to play in the negotiation.
Secondly, we'll see what President Abbas does and says on Friday. I think that he'll do what he announced, i.e. submit a request to the UN Secretary-General to include in the Security Council's agenda the admission of Palestine as a UN member state.
As you know, there's a process after that: the Secretary-General will forward the matter to the Security Council, which will establish a committee to review this application, and then, when the time comes, the matter will come before the Security Council itself.
We therefore have some time ahead of us and we want to use this time to work on the French proposals.
Q. – Regarding the timetable for the initiatives, when will you submit the request for observer status to the General Assembly, and when will the timetable that President Sarkozy mentioned in his speech start? Is there a deadline?
THE MINISTER – As I told you, President Sarkozy made proposals, they're on the table; we're going to work on them with all those who would like to work on them. So I don't have an answer today to all the questions you're asking.
Regarding the second question – when will the negotiations begin? – I can give you an idea of the general feeling: as soon as possible. There's no reason today why not, if we don't set any conditions that will drag things out, since all the parameters I've mentioned – the Madrid principles, etc. – are on the table. Secondly, when and how to submit recognition of the status of non-member observer state for Palestine to the General Assembly will be included in the discussion and the plan we'll draw up together.
Q. – Can you say you are confident that you have less than nine votes at the Security Council to avoid a veto?
THE MINISTER – I don't want to place myself in a voting situation at the Security Council. Regarding whether there will be nine votes or not, we're not there yet, and we're going to work – within the timeframe we're facing, namely that of the current session of the General Assembly, i.e. by the end of the year – to ensure that the deadlock is broken.
Q. – What will you offer the Palestinians for them to give up their preconditions?
THE MINISTER – We are making them a comprehensive proposal, telling them that we'd like the negotiations to resume. If this process gets under way, France, with others, is prepared to study a proposal at the General Assembly that would be the first step on the path towards recognizing the status of non-member observer state. It's an extremely important proposal. I believe that hasn't escaped you.
Q. – How do you expect to overcome the reluctance, if not the probable opposition, of the Americans with regard to observer state status?
THE MINISTER – As you will have noted in the President's speech, we have asked the Palestinians to pledge not to use the possibilities that come with gaining observer status in ways that could be negative or generate conflict – that is, to pledge not to go to the International Criminal Court – before achieving a definitive agreement that could lead to their recognition as a fully-fledged state.
Q. – As for the requirement that the Palestinians give up their bid to the Security Council to get your support at the General Assembly, why wouldn't they go to the Security Council at the same time as going to the General Assembly?
THE MINISTER – I've told you what the timetable is. We think we probably have several weeks before a Security Council vote. We can opt to exert pressure or not exert pressure, but we have several weeks in which to hone the proposal we made and the comprehensive approach I indicated: that is, a resumption of the negotiations without preconditions but with a timetable that includes consideration of taking the matter before the General Assembly in order to grant non-member observer status. All that will be part of the effort we're now going to make.
Q. – What's the difference between the status the Palestinians currently have and the project you're proposing?
THE MINISTER – The difference may appear modest to some, but to others it appears extremely important. It's a state status they currently don't have – that of UN non-member state, but as a state all the same, an observer state. Among other things, this allows them to apply for membership of a number of international organizations.
Their candidacy will be examined as that of a state. It's an extremely important step.
Q. – I would like to understand correctly: you would support the Palestinians going to the General Assembly to ask for observer status. Now, their intention if they go – and they've announced it many times – is to be recognized as a state within the borders of 1967. Will that be acceptable for the European Union and France?
THE MINISTER – I told you that there are two aspects to our proposal: the resumption of negotiations – and one of the principles on which that resumption would be based is indeed the 1967 borders – and on that basis, carrying out mutually agreed and equivalent land swaps, which is also part of the package, of course.
At the same time, we approached the General Assembly seeking recognition [for the Palestinians] as an observer state, and we will see how the two things work, both time-wise and in substance.
Q. – You said that, in meetings between President Sarkozy and the Israeli Prime Minister, the latter took note of your proposals, but we know quite well what derailed the negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis: it was the inability of the Americans to get their strategic ally, Israel, to freeze settlement activity. What more can you do to convince the Israelis to return to the table and to move forward?
THE MINISTER – Your question is quite simple, as one of the French proposals does in fact consist of abandoning all preconditions, including the settlement freeze, because we think that's a bad approach. President Sarkozy said so several times: if we start setting preconditions of this type, we will never reach our goal; that's what is new.
Q. – I remember the warm welcome Hillary Clinton extended to you a few weeks, a few months ago, and the conference you proposed, which never took place but was supposed to be held in June. You're putting it off until the autumn. Do you have any assurances [that it will be held]?
THE MINISTER – Not assurances, but prospects. We will discuss all that. The point of President Sarkozy's initiative was to move the lines. A new idea has been put on the table, a new dynamic is being created and there are some positive reactions, reactions of expectation. Now we will delve more deeply into all of that. He gave his speech barely two hours ago. Give us time to work on it.
Q. – You haven't coordinated with the US administration?
THE MINISTER – But we've been coordinating with them for a long time. We've been talking about all this for years and years. So we're very familiar with each other's positions. I spoke about it with Hillary Clinton, I went to see her in July after coming back from the Middle East to discuss the parameters proposed by France, we've maintained close contact, and now we'll see how all this can succeed.
Q. – For a reporter who follows French politics, it is perfectly clear that France – and very specifically France – understands the Arab street perfectly well. At this particular moment, with all the diplomatic initiatives, and in the knowledge that not the Arab leaders but the Arab street – with whom Nicolas Sarkozy's speech is totally in synch – is very suspicious, isn't France, along with the Americans and the rest of the world, concerned about credibility in the street? As we've seen, there was a very positive side to France and Britain in Libya, but there's also another Arab world that has expectations and is practically accusing the Americans of not being fair. Isn't France worried about her credibility and image in the Arab world?
THE MINISTER – I'm not sure I clearly understand your question. That we have some credibility in the "Arab street", to use your expression, is an observation, a fact. We've seen it in Benghazi, in Tripoli and elsewhere as well.
The thing that deeply motivates the President is the search for peace. We cannot maintain the status quo; we cannot continue depriving the Palestinian people of what they have long been promised. Let me remind you that the idea that there would one day be a Palestinian state was a promise made to them, by the United States among others. At the same time, we cannot permanently deprive Israel of her security, of the lasting recognition of her existence and her integrity. We must get out of all that. What motivates us is the effort to help break the deadlock.
We see there's once again a deadlock, and so we think French ideas can perhaps, even certainly, move the lines. That's what we're going to work on. I am well aware of the difficulty, I am well aware of the objections expressed in various quarters, the strength of conviction that will be needed, but I think the strength of President Sarkozy's convictions is above average.
Thank you very much!./.

Tanya's Story
I'm Tanya Williamson and I'm an account consultant in Portland, OR. I'm a true native Oregonian, born and raised in Portland. 🙂 I went to University of Oregon – Go Ducks! But, finished my schooling back in Portland at Portland State University. I come from a family of six. My parents and my three siblings all live in Portland as well. We enjoy spending time together and plan family events often.
Over the past ten years, I have volunteered with a lot of different organizations where I've met people from all different walks of life. From at risk teenagers going into high school who have a high chance of dropping out to young children who come from undesirable living situations and need a mentor and someone who cares. All of these experiences have taught me compassion and have given me a different and valuable perspective on life. I would not be the person I am today if it weren't for these experiences, which I am thankful for.
I use my background and experiences to contribute to Team Gravity by better serving our merchants. I genuinely care about our clients and their businesses. In an industry where merchants are easily and often taken advantage of, I pride myself on looking out for their best interest, not my own. When I put the merchant first, everything comes together the way it should.

Tanya Trivia
- Favorite Food: When it comes to food, it's hard to pick a favorite. So, I'll list my top three! I love sushi, Mexican, and Thai food. Portland definitely has plenty of good food spots, so I have lots to choose from.
- Favorite Movie: Bridget Jones Diary and Bridesmaids. If you haven't seen them, you should. They're hilarious!
- Hobbies: When I'm not enjoying good food or watching funny movies, I love to go hiking, wine tasting, or on short weekend adventures with my husband. Oregon is perfect for all these things! The Gorge is full of beautiful hiking paths and trails, a lot of which have waterfalls. The Willamette Valley is perfect for wine tasting with hundreds of wineries to choose from. For weekend adventures, we can go to Hood River to watch the kite boarders and swim in the river. We can head over to the coast and enjoy all the cute beach towns or we can head up to Mt. Hood for a weekend on the mountain. All of these fun weekend trips are within an hour of Portland. It's great! If you can't tell, I really do love where I live!

Best Line: "Tonight I'll probably fuck another nigga girl/Party time, excellent, Wayne's World"
Producer: JMIKE, Mad Max
Album: Bigga Than Life
Label: Cash Money/Universal
In 2011, Wayne was a creature of habit. There was nothing out of the ordinary about this verse—the usual suspects are all here: drugs, gangs, sex, beasts, movie references, bodily waste.
But Wayne should be given an award for churning out consistently fresh and dope verses using the same formula over and over again. He's bar-none the best at it in hip-hop. Wayne can make a lot of things sound very good with very little effort. Yeah, you wish you could do it, but that's Y.U. mad.

SAP exec: On-demand model needs tweaking
As Salesforce.com, Siebel and others offer their software through an on-demand model, SAP plans to take a broader approach.
SAP plans to announce a broad strategy to address midmarket companies that are using on-demand software from Salesforce.com and other vendors to run customer-facing applications.
Few details have emerged about SAP's plans, but answering questions during a session at the recently held Morgan Stanley Software, Services Internet & Networking Conference SAP's Peter Graf, executive vice president of SAP solution marketing, told investors an announcement is imminent.
"On-demand needs to be viewed as part of a larger strategy in terms of your applications," he said. "As companies are evolving in the way they are thinking about CRM and customer relationships in general, their needs are changing."
The success of Salesforce.com has led Siebel Systems Inc. and others to launch their own on-demand models. San Mateo, Calif.'s NetSuite Inc. is also successful with on-demand sales force automation products.
SAP could be waiting for the market to play itself out before it makes its move. Seeing an opportunity to grab a larger share of the midmarket, SAP has been surveying small and midsized businesses using on-demand products.
"Many of the customers told us that Salesforce.com is a little like a candy bar. It gives them an immediate sugar rush, but it won't solve the problem," Graf said.
SAP is finding that customer defection is higher with on-demand models since companies don't need buy a license to use the software. Instead of looking for the cheapest price, customers are beginning to seek more functionality and integration with other applications.
SAP has been offering software hosting services as part of its Managed Services division. Companies still purchase a typical software license, but for an additional cost, individual SAP software components or the entire mySAP Business Suite can be hosted at an SAP data center.

The on-demand model is slightly different from the hosted model, and it is unclear whether SAP would partner with a third-party vendor or create its own structure.
According to a study released by AMR Research Inc., the on-demand model is gaining traction in the market. The survey of 200 services and manufacturing companies found that nearly half were using an on-demand service. About 40% are using on-demand for customer-facing applications, AMR said.
Through an on-demand model, a company can use the software by paying a monthly subscription fee, rather than making the large investment associated with a software license. The on-demand model has so far been successful with CRM vendors, but whether it can support a more broad approach is yet to be seen, said Jim Shepherd, vice president of research at Boston-based AMR.
"It's not at all clear what will happen with that usage model with regard to ERP [enterprise resource planning]," Shepherd said. "But it would allow SAP to sell to customers that they wouldn't otherwise get."
