Private Groups
Everest Base Camp 18 April 2011
My brother and I have just booked this trip - is any-one else doing this trip.
Just trying to get our heads around the kit list!!!
ha ive just booked this trip.never been on anything like this before.realy looking forward to it.by reading some of the reviews the secret seems to be to travel lite and buy anything you need out there cos its so cheap.have a few friends who have done this trip and they would say the same..
Hey nigel,
Also on the trip (Simone's brother). Can;t quite believe we're going, only 7 or so weeks now!!
Can;t wait
How much of the stuff you thinking of getting out there? Boots i'm taking with, although read somewhere some people hire them, thinking I wouldn't want any surprises., I'm thinking maybe sleeping bag and down jacket might be worth getting out there.
hi james
that post from aliyates sort of says it all.i will probably rent a sleeping bag out there and carry the kind of gear he says. from what i can see its travel light and just put on layers as you need to. have you guys got your visas or re you planning to get them at the airport when you get there....whoop whoop not long to go now...you doing much training????? lol
Hi Guys,
Just to let you know I did this trip last year and loved it! Just a few notes you can buy quite a lot when you get their when you first arrive before you start the treck and you can get some good deals in Kathmandu. I would say though to take all your essentials with you especially your boots, and you need to have the broken in cause your gona be spending most of your time with them on your feet!!! :)
You really only have 10kg of weight for luggage to take with you so keep your kit list simple that includes your sleeping bags. You need very little and youll find that as you go through the treck you just add layers on your body the further up you go :). I think in total I used on my trip two pairs of pants (that where zip offs into shorts for the lower sections), 2 long sleve tops and 2 t shirts, 1 fleece, 1 water proof jacket, 1 water proof trouser and your down jacket. Gloves 2 pairs and something for your head. and to be fair I dont think I used all that, the further up you get the colder and tierd you get and you cant be bothered changing. Dont worry everyone is the same you all just get use to the smell, esp as you may get if your luck and can be bothered 3 showers on the trip! Some people dont even bother:)
Its a fab trip and your gona love it youll never experience anything like it in your lives!!!! :)
Hi everyone,
Myself and my friend John have just booked this trip, looking forward to it just 6 weeks now, never done anything like this before other than Munro Bagging in the Scottish Highlands and I ski in the Alps. Oh and a little walking in the Canadian Rockies last year but nothing near this altitude!
We are NOT Jedward!
Hey Edward...and John
Can you believe its only 6 weeks to go.
I'm just in panic mode about my fitness - bought a stepper but then lost a week trying to build the dam thing!!!!
Can anyone advise on facilities to charge batteries....or should I invest in a solar charger?
Hey, the teahouses have sockets to charge batteries/electronics etc at the counter and at a cost. The places we stayed in Namche and Lukla had sockets in the rooms so you can charge there although by the time you stay in Lukla you will be done walking. I dont remember the cost as I had a solar charger myself. I cant imagine though it was more than a 100 rupees for an hour of charging time. Someone who paid for charging will know better though...
Does anyone know if we can leave kit in the hotel in Kathmandu while we are trekking?
Hi I have just come back from this trip and these are the things I wished I had known before I went.
The weight limit for the porters to carry is 15 kg
I would have taken far more food for snacks.
It is easy to charge stuff up along the way 100 to 200 rupees for an hour at reception but the power is dodgy so if your battery gets completely flat as I did it wont always restart it.
There is plenty of mobile phone reception but unlock your phone before you go.
You can leave a bag in Kathmandu so you can take cool clothes to wear there.
I didnt take enough tissues - more useful than toilet paper though you can buy stuff along the way.
The queue for the visas is enormous at the airport and I was tired after the flight so wish I had got it before hand
You need £30 in rupees for the porters/guides on the trek and another £30 in rupees for your trip guide.
There are plenty of cash points that work in kathmandu,lukla and namche but make sure you tell your bank before you go.
the food on the trek is very reasonable but you need at least £6 to £10 more per day than the adventure company guide lines to buy hot drinks to counteract altitude sickness and pay for meals at the upper teahouses..Everyone in my group ran out of money and was borrowing it off the guide!
you can buy a bowl of hotwater everywhere to wash in if you want to or if you have bought a pot of hot water(thermos flask) you can take it back to your room and use it for hot drinks overnight and to have a wash in the morning.
The local company used doesnt let you use diamox just ibruprofen for altitude sickness and if they catch you taking diamox threaten to take you back down the mountain as they say they are not medically qualified to supervise its use.I personally found this very hard and suffered badly from headaches and breathlessness but to be fair most people in my group didnt and we all made base camp.
Hope this information will help you have a great holiday
Thanks for that feedback Diana, it will be very helpful. More money, tissues and snacks - got the message. Can I ask what the teahouses are like? Everyone feel free to add me to your facebook friends, Simone, I think I saw your profile, but I couldn't uniquely identify anyone else.
Yes thanks for the tips Diana. How cold was it at night - Would a down vest be a good idea - if so is it easy to get one in Kathmandu?
Hi you can buy anything you need cheaply in kathmandu but you dont get alot of time as there is a long and very good site seeing trip on the sunday at the end of which you are taken to an area with shops and a currency exchange place( where the rate was very good.)The quality of stuff people bought did seem to vary from very good to some trousers which just fell apart so I guess it is buyer beware and be prepared to haggle hard, you should be looking for 25% to 30% off.
In terms of night time temperature I guess it could vary as you are going later than me but it did get down to minus 20 (minus 26 on kalapatthar) at the coldest so in the beginning I was just sleeping in one set of thermals and by the end I was in several layers. Also the dining/ sitting areas were all pretty cold so we were eating dinner in down jackets,hats and gloves to keep warm.You can buy extra stuff in Namche - on the first acclimatisation day and some guys in our group got very good deals there.
The tea houses varied enormously from ones with ensuite facilities (Namche and lukla) to ones with no lights, no water and massive gaps in the windows,But there is no running hot water anywhere unless you request and pay for it.The rooms have two beds in but nothing else.They all supplied pillows( and blankets if you asked for them). The food was mostly pretty good .Nobody had upset stomachs which was great.Anything else you want to know just ask.
Hello all,
I've just booked the trip a week ago and I'm on a different flight to the rest of you. I go via Muscat in Oman so I'll probably meet you at the hotel. What time is your take off from Heathrow and landing at Kathmandu? You should be able to spot each other at the check-in by the red luggage tags that Adventures will send you and you may have seats booked in a block.
See you there,
Hi Robin
My brother - James and I are on a different flight as well. We go via Bahrain leaving Heathrow on the 18 at 20.25 and arriving in Kathmandu on the 19 at 1705, let us know when your flights are and we can arrange to meet up
Hi Simone,
I leave Heathrow at 2235 on the 18th (terminal 3, Oman Air) and arrive in Kat at 1705 same as you do so I guess we'll meet in arrivals, or the in queue for visas most probably. I thought I would be on my own at the other end so it's good to know you two will be there as well. Just look out for those red luggage labels!
Hi everyone,
Myself and John are on a different flight again, via Delhi, arriving in Kat at 1445 hrs. Red tags have arrived. Staying at the Tibet Hotel in Kat rated 10 out of 103 (Tripadvisor). See you all soon.
Hi Everyone,
My partner, Anita and I are on the trip leaving monday, cant believe how quickly it's come round, I did Kilimanjaro a couple of years ago with Adventure company and had a great time, I've had mixed views on whether or not an inflatable matress is useful in the teahouses and woudl love ot hear fomr anyone who knows for sure, I have a lightweight one but its not self inflating and i'm concerned about needing all that puff at altitude! :-) Looking forward to meeting you all at LHR or Kathmandu Colin

text: Starting tonight the Stateline will see some rain showers and they are expected to continue through Monday night. On Saturday night we'll start small with just some light sprinkles mixed with flurries and we are only expecting some scattered showers on Sunday. However, by Monday a stronger system will move into the Stateline and just sit over us bringing us anywhere from an inch to two inches of precipitation in about 12 hours. Some of this could fall in the form of severe tunderstorms, especailly Monday evening. This rain will be falling into already high water systems. The Rock River in Rockton is already at flood stage and is experiencing minor flooding. The additional rainfall could pose a flooding concern for that community and any community along a stream or river. Remember, if you encounter a flooded roadway never attempt to drive through it.

This time of the summer makes me pine for a road trip. When you live in a beautifully large and diverse country like Canada, it's hard not to think that we are missing something if we don't carve out time to drive across it's entirety.
Well George Simhoni knows the beauty of Canada better than most of us- he's spending some quality time in Alberta later this month, shooting a campaign for Travel Alberta (a client George has worked with for the past couple of years). Here's one of last year's shots that George did with Scott Shymko at Karo Group Calgary:
George doesn't play favourites with the provinces. Here's a shot last year campaign for Nova Scotia Tourism. This was shot with Brian Hickling (Art Director) and Halifax-based ad agency Colour:
I love the contrast in these two shots between new mountains and old.
As I prep for my own cross-Canada camping adventure with family in tow (2013 if we can get it together in time), I regularly check in with photographer Naomi Harris' great Canadian road tripping blog The Maple Highway. An ex-Torontonian who relocated to New York City over 10 years ago, she's rediscovering her roots by touring the country, camera and model releases in hand. Heading into Ontario as we speak, she's come from Victoria and will end up in Newfoundland before the summer's through.
If you're not in a position to take two months off work, then go on a vicarious road trip through Naomi's adventures here. And, stay tuned to this blog over the next few weeks as we bring you dispatches from the road in Alberta with George and crew.

Why A Wii U Price Drop Probably Won't Happen This Year - ArticleVGChartz Staff, posted on 23 August 2014 / 25,345 Views
Since May of this year, Nintendo has no longer been selling its Wii U hardware at a loss. This has led to speculation that the company will issue an official price drop for the console to capitalize on both the holiday season and the release of their biggest game for the remainder of the year, Super Smash Bros. While a retail price reduction is certainly not impossible, it seems far more likely that Nintendo will instead opt to provide more value at the console's current price point.
The Wii U is still priced competitively relative to both Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One consoles, which seem certain to remain at the base price of $399 throughout the year. Many are expecting an official Super Smash Bros. U/Wii U bundle upon the game's release, similar to the company's Mario Kart 8 bundle earlier this year, which actually increased the Wii U's price by $30 by including added peripherals in addition to the game. This formula would work perfectly with a Super Smash Bros. U bundle – particularly when you factor in Nintendo's upcoming amiibo line, which is set to work with the game. However, Nintendo might be better served in keeping the Wii U at $299 for such a bundle, with only the game included to keep the base price a full $100 less than the competition, which will be an appealing prospect for many consumers.
So when should gamers expect a Wii U price drop? Probably during the first half of next year, when Nintendo's upcoming creation game Mario Maker is set to release, would be the perfect time for the company to make their move with an official price drop; effectively reducing the Wii U's retail price by $50 with Mario Maker included. That way, the Wii U would be available at an all-important mass-market price of $249 while being bundled with a game that could have potential for broad appeal – and Nintendo will most likely be able to offer said bundle without incurring any financial loss at that point.
There are sure to be Black Friday deals and possible door-busters from retailers this holiday for people seeking discounts on Wii U hardware, but with three straight years of annual losses, Nintendo's return to profitability is paramount for the company, and so the chances of an official retail price drop for Wii U happening in 2014 seem low.

For 2011, Midori chose Kim Kardashian as their new spokesperson. The contract focuses heavily on social media, taking advantage of Kim's 5 million Facebook fans and 3 million Twitter followers.
Midori was working to be relevant to a new generation of 21-25 year old women. Awareness among this target was low, however, when sampled, they enjoyed Midori. Working with someone like Kim Kardashian, who has a tremendous audience with this target, has been a strong strategic move for Midori. She brings awareness to the brand through her posts and tweets about the brand. However, the challenge for Midori became taking advantage of the additional visitors and converting them to Midori consumers.
Origin Agency developed custom Facebook pages to serve as a destination for Kim Kardashian's fans and a place to find exclusive Kim-related content. We also wanted to make sure that we "closed the loop" and used the relationship with Kim to push Midori cocktails. We filmed a series of exclusive "how to" videos that show Kim learning how to make Midori cocktails (and tasting them along the way). The strong brand interaction and endorsement videos will be released throughout the year. All the recipes are featured on the Facebook page, along with exclusive shots from the Kim photoshoot and expert tips from Kim on how to "Stand Out."
Origin also developed the concept and materials for Midori trunk show events held in conjunction with ShoeDazzle, another company associated with Kim Kardashian.

Staph infections are caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, which many healthy people carry on their skin and in their noses without getting sick. But when skin is punctured or broken, staph bacteria can enter the wound and cause infections, which can lead to other health problems.
You can help prevent staph infections in your family by encouraging regular hand washing and daily bathing, and by keeping areas that have been cut clean or covered.
Staph bacteria can spread through the air, on contaminated surfaces, and from person to person. Kids can carry staph bacteria from one area of their body to another — or pass it to other people — via dirty hands or fingernails. So good hand washing is vital to preventing staph infections.
It's also important to encourage kids to keep their skin clean with a daily bath or shower. If your child has a skin condition such as eczema that makes frequent bathing difficult, ask your doctor for advice.
Keep areas of skin that have been injured — such as cuts, scrapes, and rashes caused by allergic reactions or poison ivy — clean and covered, and follow any directions given by your doctor.
Staph bacteria can cause toxic shock syndrome, cellulitis, and these infections:
Folliculitis is an infection of hair follicles, tiny pockets under the skin where hair shafts (strands) grow. In folliculitis, tiny white-headed pimples appear at the base of hair shafts, sometimes with a small red area around each pimple. This infection often occurs in areas where there's been friction or irritation, such as with shaving.
Folliculitis often clears up on its own with good skin hygiene. Sometimes, it can progress to become a boil. With a boil, the staph infection spreads deeper and wider, often affecting the skin's subcutaneous tissue (deeper tissue under the skin) and the oil-producing glands, which are called sebaceous glands. In the first stage, which parents and kids often miss, the area of skin either begins to itch or becomes mildly painful. Next, the skin turns red and begins to swell over the infected area. Finally, the skin above the infection becomes very tender and a whitish "head" may appear. The head may break, and the boil may begin to drain pus, blood, or an amber-colored liquid. Boils can occur anywhere on the skin, especially under the arms or on the groin or buttocks in kids.
To help relieve pain from a boil, try warm-water soaks, a heating pad, or a hot-water bottle applied to the skin for about 20 minutes, three or four times a day. Make sure that the washcloths used for the soaks are washed after each use. Boils are occasionally treated with oral antibiotics and in some cases need to be surgically drained.
Impetigo can affect skin anywhere on the body but commonly occurs around the nose and mouth. It usually affects preschoolers and school-age kids, especially in the summer months.
Impetigo caused by staph bacteria is characterized by large blisters containing fluid that is first clear, then cloudy. The blisters may burst, ooze fluid, and develop a honey-colored crust. Impetigo may itch and can be spread by scratching. Doctors usually prescribe a topical ointment to treat it and may, depending on the severity, add oral antibiotics.
You may have heard about methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a type of staph bacteria with a resistance to the antibiotics usually used to treat staph infections. Although MRSA infections can be harder to treat, in most cases they heal with proper care.
Most MRSA infections involve the skin, but sometimes MRSA can cause more serious problems, such as bone infections or pneumonia. MRSA pneumonia is rare, but is more of a risk for kids already sick with the flu.
Scalded skin syndrome (SSS) most often affects newborns and kids under age 5. The illness usually starts with a localized staph skin infection, but the staph bacteria manufacture a toxin that affects skin all over the body. The child has a fever, rash, and sometimes blisters. As blisters burst and the rash passes, the top layer of skin is dislodged and the skin surface becomes red and raw, like a burn.
SSS is a serious illness that needs to be treated and monitored in a hospital. It affects the body in the same way as serious burns. After treatment, most kids make a full recovery.
Most localized staph skin infections can be treated by washing the skin with an antibacterial cleanser, warm soaks, applying an antibiotic ointment prescribed by a doctor, and covering the skin with a clean dressing. To keep the infection from spreading, use a towel only once when you soak or clean an area of infected skin, then wash it.
Your doctor may prescribe an oral antibiotic for your child's staph skin infection. If so, give the antibiotic on schedule for as many days as the doctor directs. More serious staph infections may require hospitalization.
Call the doctor whenever your child has an area of red, irritated, or painful skin, especially if you see whitish pus-filled areas or your child has a fever or feels sick. Also, call the doctor if skin infections seem to be passing from one family member to another or if two or more family members have skin infections simultaneously.

Atheists Invent Armored Catfish, Beasts Destroys South Florida Ecosystem
In their latest bid to prove evolution, a group of atheist scientists are now to blame for great destruction in Florida's fragile ecosystem. The scientists unleashed a monstrous, lab-created armored catfish into the wild only months ago. Unknown to the general public, the plan to release the catfish into the wild was supposed to prove an atheist claim that 'evolution allows the environment to easily adapt to invasive alien species'.
The species of "armored catfish" is damaging South Florida's lakes, causing coastal erosion and even burrowing holes that trip up humans walking along the water's edge. Last week alone, one young man in Pensacola fell into one of the fish's trip holes and had his arm mauled off, all before locals were able to pull him out from the ravenous cluch of genetically engineered fish. Another group of hikers went into a lake for a cooling dip, to only be attacked with what they thought were 'mutant pirhanas'. Later, they found out all their lacerations and missing digits were the result fo the invasive armored catfsih.
Gaming officials in Dade County, Florida, were shocked to respond to calls about a wounded 13-foot alligator that was found writhing in pain outside a rural bayou. The gator was missing two arms and an eye, letting out hisslike cries of agony. Officials decided to put the gator down and do a biopsy, to only find that it was being eaten from the inside by a clutch of armored catfish.
What's even more terrifying is the intrinsic r (reproductive) values of these fish. Females can self-replicate through oogenesis, a new type of 'genetic lesbianism' that has been created by these scientists. One oogenized fish can give birth to 800 live offspring, who all grow to about two feet within a week.
Locals report they have seen pythons, small birds and even a bathing jaguar consumed and eaten by this new fish. The governor of Florida is expected to announce a potential state of Ecological Emergency by last this week.

Overall Experience
Nice place

Very nice only thing would be an ab machine in fitness room

Served the purpose

In town on business, got upgraded as room type my company booked wasn't avail. My room was clean and comfortable enough. Only major complaint, elevator reeks of stale cigarette smoke!
Decent hotel - can use improvement on cleaning and repairs.
March 29, 2016
This is a decent hotel in a quiet part of town with simple access to the beaches and local hot spots.
Upon arrival our bathroom was found to be dirty, not cleaned from the previous guest. The AC was not working and appeared to not have been verified until we arrived.
They did replace the AC the following morning, however, the first night was very HOT.
Hotel staff is friendly and helpful at all times. For the price, this is a decent hotel, however, make certain you arrive early since room bookings can sell out and if you have a problem with the room, you will want an opportunity the switch rooms fast.
This was our third bad experience with Candlewood with regard to repairs and room condition, hopefully, future stays at a different hotel will break this cycle.

Kelly's Ho-downKelly Osbourne is to live in a brothel for a new reality TV show.
The sexy star - who shot to fame on the hugely popular MTV programme 'The Osbournes' with rock star dad Ozzy and mum Sharon - will appear in a new series for the music network which follows her efforts to become a method actress.
The 21-year-old will be filmed in several challenging situations, including a legal brothel, as she learns about different walks of life.
An MTV source said: "Kelly's great on camera and she's also deadly serious about acting. She's a bit nervous now filming is about to start, but she hopes to meet some interesting people along the way - especially the prostitutes."
Last week, Kelly hit out at London's notorious Primrose Hill set for their debauched behaviour.
The beauty says she is disgusted at the actions of the group of British stars, which include Sadie Frost and her ex-husband Jude Law, Kate Moss and British actress Davinia Taylor, and would never socialise with them.
She fumed: "I'd rather eat my own s**t than be part of that Primrose Hill set.
"I think it's disgusting what that lot get up to. They're like, 'Let's sleep with each other's boyfriends and husbands, but let's still be friends and go clubbing'."

Brooklyn cinephiles will have another reason to stay indoors this summer as BAMcinemaFest has released the titles for some of its films. The event runs from June 16-26 and features a slate of films from emerging talents at some of the world's premiere film festivals.
This year's edition brings the New York premiere of six new films and the Brooklyn premiere of Marie Losier's "The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye." Losier's film was awarded the Teddy Award in Berlin last month, an inspiring reward for a film seven years in the making.
Standouts among the New York premieres include Todd Rohal's "The Catechism Cataclysm," coming off buzz-generating runs at Sundance and SXSW this year. Rohal's film is described as a "philosophical buddy drama" and stars Stevie Little from HBO's "Eastbound and Down" in the title role. Also making their Big Apple premieres are film critic Michael Tully's "Septien," former child actor Clay Jeter's "Jess + Moss" and newcomer Alex Ross Perry's "The Color Wheel."
The Safdie brothers will also present new work at BAM this summer, premiering their short "John's Gone" in the same venue that held a retrospective of their work last summer.

Ski Accommodation in Champoluc
We offer an extensive range of ski accommodation in Champoluc to suits most tastes and budget. The majority of our hotel accommodation is offered on a half-board basis, which includes a buffet breakfast and typically a four course evening meal, with choices at most courses. Some of our hotels in Champoluc are now offered on a bed and breakfast basis. We have a few apartments available, but please note that unlike in France for instance where self catering accommodation is generally a cheaper option, in Champoluc, apartment accommodation is generally of a similar cost to some of our less expensive hotels on half board.
Eagle Apartments
These brand new apartments are just a few minutes' walk to the Ski 2 ski deposit and the bottom of the main lift. The 2 apartments are spacious, well finished and of very good quality.
Being centrally located, there are numerous restauants nearby.
Lo Retsignon
Situated just 60 metres from the top of the Frachey funicular and even closer to the bottom of La Mandria chairlift, the two apartments of Lo Retsignon will appeal to those looking for traditional accommodation away from the hustle and bustle of the village centre and with the added bonus of doorstep skiing!
Villa Americana
The Villa Americana has been the subject of an extensive renovation to turn it in to a delightful bed and breakfast property.
Petit Abri Apartments
Situated in a separate, self-contained building opposite the Hotel Petit Abri, these 4 recently renovated apartments provide good quality accommodation, available either on a self-catering basis, or with meals (breakfast and / or evening meals) in the hotel.
Orestes Hütte
This is a mountain refuge built to complement the breathtaking setting. Built to be a self-sufficient as possible the hut uses solar panels and a hydroelectric plant to provide hot running water at 2600m.

Hotel Punta Zerbion
This 3* hotel is situated in the hamlet of Corbet, less than a 5 minute transfer to the Ski 2 ski deposit at the bottom of the main lift in Champoluc (transfers are provided by the Ski 2 resort team).
Le Petit Coeur
Le Petit Coeur in Champoluc is a delightful property which is only an 8 minute stroll from the Ski 2 ski deposit and the bottom of the main lift. The property is furnished in an authentic style with the 'heart' theme evident throughout the building. It has the feel of a private house, rather than a hotel and will appeal to those looking for a truly authentic 'Italian experience'.
Hotel L'Aroula
One of our few properties actually situated on the slopes, L'Aroula is in a tiny hamlet of ancient farm buildings about two thirds of the way down the Ostafa piste.

From here the red piste winds back down to Crest and L'Aroula can be found tucked off the edge of the piste with views down the valley.

Stadel Soussun lies in a small valley above the town of Champolucand and is easily accessible from the top of the Crest cable car. A walking track takes you from the cable station to the village, through a beautiful pine wood with wonderful views of Monte Rosa and Matterhorn. In winter the track becomes a snow slope that connects the village to the Monterosa ski domain.
Hotel Champoluc
The Hotel Champoluc is a good quality family–run hotel perfectly situated for those looking for hassle-free access to the slopes. With all bedrooms recently decorated, we are pleased to continue to feature this ever popular hotel. Right at the bottom of the piste!

Hotel California
The Hotel California is a unique property with its twelve very different bedrooms, all designed around a different singer or band. A very popular hotel which was featured in an Observer newspaper article -'10 Boutique Ski Hotels', as well as in a number of ski guide books.
Hotel Le Campagnol

This is a great value hotel for those who aren't looking for luxury accommodation but like their rooms to be warm and clean. Recently mentioned in Conde Nast Traveller magazine.
Meuble Ayas
Originally one hotel, the Hotel Ayas has been split in to two properties. The building now houses the delightful Hotel La Rouja – see further up this page for the details. The other half of the building is currently awaiting conversion in to apartments.
Hotel L'Aiglon

A variant on the clothes pegs on cunt routine is to connect them with a piece of string and then pull them all off at one time. The result is one very sore cunt. Another fun idea that has worked well for me is to make the sub pee while standing up. Punish her until she gets it right.

Gina has an amazing cunt. It's been a long time since Hogtied had some serious cunt lip weight training but it has been worth the wait. Seeing all that stretched female skin hanging several inches underneath Gina's hole was a dream come true. Let's see more sexy pussy skin strecthing scenes. Its something you will only find at Hogtied.

Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey Season 5 Spoiler: Episode 1 Reveals Sad Secret! Is It About Baxter?
Update: Want to know what's actually happening in Season 5? Read our full episode recaps! They're live as of the U.K. September 21 premiere.
We're just days away from the beginning of Downton Abbey Season 5 (well, in the U.K. at least). September 21 marks the start of the next round of Downton and you know what that means: Spoilers!
Earlier this year, Allen Leech, who plays lovable Irishman Tom Branson, chatted about what's in store for Season 5, and he threw out one crumb that we figured was worth reviewing after seeing the official Season 5 trailer.
When we heard from Allen at the end of January, he said he'd just received scripts for Episode 1 and Episode 2. Upon reading them, he immediately called up his bud Rob James-Collier (Thomas Barrow). Although Downton's two Toms don't share much beside their first names, off camera Allen and Rob make for one of Britain's best bromances. Too bad they kind of hate each other on the show.
While Allen didn't spill any specifics from the scripts, he did say "very exciting stuff happens in Episode 1 and continues into Episode 2." Even more interesting, he teased that he "found out something I didn't know" during Episode 1 and was "deeply saddened" by the revelation.
At the time, that tidbit left us in the dark but we've been watching the trailer on repeat since its debut at the end of August. That's gotten the wheels turning — could that sad secret have to do with Phyllis Baxter (Raquel Cassidy)?
In second 29 of the trailer, we see her telling a lady we believe to be Cora (Elizabeth McGovern) that she has "a secret, a bad secret," likely the same one held over her head by Thomas Barrow (Rob James-Collier) throughout Season 4. Speaking of Baxter's nemesis, Thomas pops up looking suspicious just a couple of seconds later. Coincidence? We think not.
What do you make of our theory? Think the sad secret involves Baxter or someone else entirely? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Dykes and Player Weekly Comments
Spike Dykes Monday Press Conference
"Saturday was a hard day for us. We lost to a good football team in a very, very great setting for college football. I wish I knew who to blame other than myself because that is part of what you go through when you lose those close games to those good football teams. A&M did a good job at the ball game."
"A&M had 47 yards in the second half. We played great defense. We had 112 yards in the second half. We could not get on the scoreboard in the second half. It was one of those defensive slugfests that we thought might happen. The last three years the game plan was try to stay, hang in there and try to have a chance to win. And we were fortunate enough to do that a couple of times and it didn't work Saturday. I thought A&M made very few mistakes. They made key first downs and we did not make some key first downs when we needed to. And the time of possession, they had it 35 minutes and we had it about 25. So those things come into the figure. It was right down to the wire and we just did not make the plays we needed to to win the game."
On Saturday's opponent Missouri
"We've got an extremely hard game coming up Saturday. In fact, we're playing Missouri as you well know, and they had 169 yards against Nebraska. But, the last three plays of the game they throw it in the end zone. If they catch it they tie the game or have a chance to go for two and win the game. They're very opportunistic. They do a good job of taking care of their business. Corby Jones is probably the best quarterback we've seen. He's a good leader. Hes a guy that's been at the helm there for three years. And really a good person. He's extremely tough. He's a very smart, very dedicated guy. Devin, their tailback,
is a good player. He gets old before the day gets there. He just runs over and over and over right up your midsection. Their line is big and strong and physical. They're sort of a Big Ten style football team. A lot of power football, a lot of play-action passes. Defensively they are in the same category as an A&M or Colorado. They're big and strong. They're not as fast as A&M probably. Weve got our hands full.
Weve got another tough day at the office. They're sort of in the same boat were in. They've got two losses. They can ill-afford anymore losses. They're still ranked in the top 25 and rightfully so. They've lost two games, one to Ohio State and one to Nebraska."
On Missouri running back Devin West
"West runs a little bit like Bam ran. He's got good change of direction. Hes got some power, but he's not just a power runner. He's got some finesse. He's really a good back. The thing we're going to need to do is just build a fence around him and Corby Jones because theyve got a good option attack."
On getting past the lost
"We're just going to go out and try to win every Saturday and keep on keeping on. This is our ninth-straight week of football and these guys have handled it pretty good."
Player Quotes from Tuesday press sessions
Senior defensive end Montae Reagor
"We are going to try to do our best this weekend. We are going to prepare as well as we can. Missouri has a good ballclub. They play hard and they make the plays they have to to put themselves in a position to come out on top. We will have to play a great game. They run the ball very well. Their bread and butter is to run the ball. We are going to try to put more men in the box to try to counteract their running game. Corby Jones is a great player. He is a one-man wrecking crew. He makes big plays when they need them if you don't contain him. We are just going to have to contain him and try to keep him from beating us by himself."
Junior defensive end Taurus Rucker
Devin West is a lot like Byron Hanspard was a few years ago, except he is a bigger back. He runs hard,, finds holes but he will also run over you if you aren't careful. He and Corby Jones bring a lot to this game. The defensive will have a lot of responsiblity in the game. Jones is very powerfule and he has a great arm. He is also a very good leader on the field for them. He is actually very similar to Rob Peters. We will be prepared for Corby. They are big play guys who you can't give an inch. The thing we have to keep doing is to SWARM to the ball and make plays when the opportunities present themselves. We did a great job with takeaways last week. This week will have to be the same thing. We will have to limit our mistakes and special teams will have to play well for us to have a chance to win."
Junior quarterback Rob Peters
Missouri is very similar to the last two defensive we have faced. They have a lot of size, a lot of quickness and a lot of athletic ability. It is going to be about the same for us. We need to go out and concentrate on us and not worry about what other people are doing. We need to execute our offense better. The last couple of weeks we have played some good teams. They were in the top 25 for a reason. Their defenses have been good. There have been opportunities that we have had that we haven't taken advantage of. You can look at it both ways. We have got to continue to get better and go out and make plays. I feel pretty comfortable (after missing several games due to injury). I don't think there have been that many problems. The defenses we have played have been good, there is no question about that. The inexperience may have something to do with (turnovers). I feel confident. I will go in there and do my best and, hopefully, we will move the ball."
Spike Dykes comments from Sunday media teleconference following Texas A&M game
"We got beat by a good football team on Saturday in a tough place to play. I thought our guys played hard. I don't think there was any lack of effort. I guess when you lose the first thing to do is try to figure out who to blame. I can't find anyone to blame. We had a chance to win late in the game against a top-ten football team. We just couldn't quite get it done. The credit goes to A&M they made the plays when the had to. We had some opportunities. We played hard and had a chance at the end and that is about all you can ask for. It was a defensive struggle We hoped to hang around and win it at the end like we did the past few years, and we just didn't get the job done. They out executed us when they had to and we went down. As for the injury situation, we have a few guys bruised up, but we should have all hands on deck for a good Missouri football team next week. This is a tough football conference. The Big 12 teams come to play football every week. We can't hang our head down long now. Two loses in a row is kind of discouraging, but we'll try to regroup and see what we can do next week"
On Donnie Hart's play in the endzone near the end of the game
"I don't worry about it, you have to go with what they (the referees) call. They had the best view of it."
On A&M's defense
"They've got a lot more speed than they have had the past few years. They aren't quite as big and physical this year. They have good defensive ends and secondary that gave our guys a hard time to get open. Their linebackers really put a lot of pressure on our offense. They are a quick defense and extremely well coached."
On the fake field goal by A&M
"The fake field goal was a great call. They out executed us on a gutsy a move. It was probably changed the momentum some, but we went down later and scored again off a turnover."
On the struggles of the offense
"I think the defensive teams (Texas A&M and Colorado) you play against have a large part in that. We were nearly as productive as Texas A&M. It was just a defensive struggle. When you play two of the top defensive teams in the nation it's tough."
On Missouri
"I haven't had the chance to watch much film on them, but I know they have a great quarterback and running back. They've lost two games to Ohio State and Nebraska. They are a big strong solid football team more like a Big 10 team than one from our conference. Corby Jones is a great quarterback. Defensively, they are very solid and have made a lot of plays. Larry is a good coach and done a great job with the program."

TTC with Irregular Periods
So my husband and I have been wanting to start trying for a baby this past March, I had already stopped taking birth control 6 months prior and had fairly normal periods. Well in March I started skipping periods. When they returned I started ovulation kits and for a couple of months I was getting positive ovulation tests and my cycles were 29-30 days. The next month, I was 3 weeks late, the month after I was a week early, and now I am about 4-5 days late. So the question is, how do you predict that you are going to ovulate with such irregular cycles. I know the tests and other methods can help you know when but only give you about 2 days notice. And I realize you should start trying every other day for about 5-6 days before you actually ovulate for your best chance. But with periods being so difficult to predict I don't know when to start the every other day schedule. Does anyone have experience with this, and have conquered this issue, or figured out how to predict ovulation earlier?

I can't believe this is happening! DH is 42 and I am 31. We've been ttc #2 x 12 months. Found out 3 months ago that my husband had zero motility. That's right. ZERO percent motility. Count was 12 mil. I have very irregular periods ranging 29-40 days. I ordered the book from http://pregnancyhours.com and absolute no symptoms out of the ordinary 1-10 dpo. I always have cramping and sore boobs before af, so I knew not to count these as symptoms. Here we are 10 dpo and Bfp on Frer and wondfo. I go for betas today. Im scared and nervous about the next 8 weeks (to get me out of the first trimester). But right now, I AM PREGNANT! Thank the good Lord. If your DH has had a bad SA, try these book. It can't hurt! I wish you all the best. And hope to see u all on the pregnancy boards soon.posted 03/14/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
Actually they did find some cysts in my ovaries but the last time I was tested, they had cleared, so I never did get a PCOS diagnosis. But I have have been fairly irregular all my life, when I'm not on the pil. I think I will ask my doctor about those pills and see if it is an option since I did have cysts, or maybe they're back, I think I'm going to get checked again. I just feel like after spending so much money on kits, since it changes every month I feel like it's sort of a waste. Since they give you only a day or two notice, I read some places that it is not a good way to plan your fertile days. I thought after my 3rd month of using the kits we'd get it right but it did not happen. I guess I can keep trying for couple of more months with the kits before seeing my doctor.posted 10/24/2012 by tos212
Well personally I would try to find out why your periods are so irregular. I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome so I have very irregular periods when off the pill. I am now on a drug called metformin which is for people with PCOS or diabetes and it helps regulate your period when off birth control. That makes it a lot easier for me to figure out ovulation now that my periods are more regular. If you don't have PCOS then just stick with the ovulation kits.posted 10/24/2012 by aradiapixie

Glee Season 5 Spoilers: See the Cast as Puppets — With Still-Human Blaine!
We've already gotten to see Darren Criss (Blaine) kissing some kind of mouse puppet. And it was strange. But now Glee is giving us a glimpse at what it would look like if all of Blaine's friends had been turned into puppets. Needless to say, it would look pretty darn adorable.
We know that Season 5, Episode 7 will be called "Puppet Master," and now we're getting a sense of why that title was chosen. Ryan Murphy tweeted two photos from the Glee set, both of which suggest that the McKinley kids are now made of felt.
"Glee puppets!" Ryan captions a photo of ten of the different Glee characters as puppets. "With many more to come! Who's your favorite so far?"
Indeed, we can see just about all the members of New Directions in puppet form, including Sam, Artie, and Tina. We also spot the puppet of Mr. Schue in the back, looking dapper in his mini sweater vest. We don't yet see a Sue puppet, so we hope we'll get to see her decked out in a little tracksuit soon.
There's just one question: Where the heck is puppet Blaine? We don't know for sure, but we're slightly worried that Blaine might not be getting a puppet doppelganger. In fact, Ryan tweeted a second photo in which flesh-and-blood Blaine is surrounded by his cloth pals, with the caption, "Blaine and friends."
So does this mean there's no little plush guy with a bowtie and hair gel? Perhaps not, as we're guessing that the episode might involve about-to-graduate Blaine freaking out and fantasizing that his choir friends are puppets. In past episodes, Schue previously imagined the gang as their mini selves, while Tina envisioned everyone as having switched personalities.
Either way, we cannot freakin' wait for this episode to air! And if Glee isn't going to show us a Blaine puppet, maybe we'll just make our own. Someone pass us the hot glue gun!

Logging In
I thought that I was good at record-keeping. In fact, my iPhone/iPad keeps me meticulously organized – the Calendar keeps track of my schedule, my to-do list is on Reminders, everyone that I know is in my Contacts, and for all the other random stuff, there's Evernote. And with iCloud, everything is updated between my phone, my tablet and my desktop, so no matter where I am, I'm always on track.
At four days old, my son had his first visit to the pediatrician. Surprisingly, she told us to keep track of feedings and diaper changes.
"Get a notebook", she said.
Really? A notebook? In this day of technology, I was supposed to use something as antiquated as a notebook to write down every time he fed or wet his diaper?
I figured that there MUST be an app for that. And I was right. There were actually a few.
For the first couple days I logged everything. If I didn't log it immediately I made a mental note to do it later. And I did. Or at least I tried to.
The thing about newborns is that they don't have set schedules. Soon, my sleep deprivation began to set in and I really could not be bothered to pick up the phone or the tablet, or even worse, go online to a website to keep a record of diaper changes and feedings at 1.30am, 3.00am and 4.15am.
The mental notes became sporadic and gradually became non-existent, all in a matter of days.
Now I wish that I DID keep a notebook and a pencil handy, to easy tally poopy and wet diapers with one pen-stroke.
So the next time we go to the pediatrician, I'll have to average. I can bluff precision or admit failure.
I guess that it's time to buy a notebook!

What's That Rash?
Lichen simplex chronicus
Looks: Red and irritated, eventually taking on a brown, leathery appearance after too much scratching.
Caused by: Doctor's don't know exactly, but it begins when something irritates the skin, and the more you scratch it, the more it itches.
Feels: Itchy, itchy, itchy.
Contagious: No.
Where: Ankles, wrists, neck, rectum, arms, legs, back of the knee, inner elbow.
Treatment: Stop scratching! We know that's easier said than done. You may need help from an anti-itching cream, such as hydrocortisone, as well as antihistamines or even tranquilizers prescribed by your doctor. Salicylic acid medications may be used on thickened lesions.
See a doctor if: The itching worsens, or your skin starts to get infected (you experience pain or fluid leaks from the lesion).
Next: Ringworm

Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
Thank you for your information, it was helpful... I just had a follow up question.
There were some credit cards she applied for in both of their names without his consent...however, when he contacted the credit card company regarding some suspicious charges, he was told the information regarding that charge on their joint credit card could NOT be disclosed to him. How can the credit card company deny that information? When my brother confronted his wife, she said she was disputing the charge, then later said she was not disputing the charge, she was disputing the charge on to that card, implying she knew the charge was hers and was legitimate, but how can she put a stop to him inquiring information as to what or to whom the charges were paid to??? She still has not filed a dispute. How can he gain access to this information?

After a year of delivering life-saving humanitarian aid to the people of Chad, Medair looks back at a year of hard work and lives saved as the programme closes.
Medair has been responding to an acute malnutrition crisis in Abdi District of Chad's Ouaddai region. In 2013, Medair admitted 5,924 children to its therapeutic nutrition programme at 10 clinics and one mobile site and screened more than 25,000 children scattered across 194 rural villages. "Our team made considerable progress reaching remote communities with the programme and many children's lives were saved as a result," said Maarten Fontein, Head of Country Programme, Chad.
Working in a remote area with poor accessibility presented its share of challenges but staff kept finding ways to reach clinics and provide nutrition services to thousands of young children. Indeed, Medair treated almost twice as many children as originally expected, and improved the capacity of the local health services to identify malnutrition and manage a nutrition programme.
However, despite these positive results, it has not been possible to attract sufficient resources required to continue delivering ongoing humanitarian relief. After considering all options, Medair has had to proceed with closing the programme. "This has been a very hard decision for us to make," says Maarten. "There remain a lot of children with acute malnutrition in Abdi district; in recent weeks we have continued to see high numbers coming to therapeutic and supplementary feeding days. The drought-prone Sahel belt, which runs across Chad, is a region that consistently ranks as one of the most vulnerable and least developed on earth. Yet to many outsiders, Chad remains an unknown; as sadly highlighted, it is a forgotten crisis."
Moving forward.
Over the past two months, Medair has worked closely with government officials, local authorities and other humanitarian agencies, as well as the beneficiary communities, to ensure that its departure from the region passed as smoothly as possible for all stakeholders. Medair is thankful for the very good collaboration that made this possible.
"I am very grateful for all that Medair has done," said Acha, mother of a acutely malnourished child who recovered to health in the nutrition programme. "In the future, I will know how to recognise a malnourished child and will advise other mothers to do what I did: take their children to a treatment centre."
Medair Chad was supported by the E.C. Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid and by generous private donations.
Medair helps people who are suffering in remote and devastated communities around the world survive crises, recover with dignity, and develop skills to build a better future.

The Need For a Capitol Infusion. . . .
August 31, 2009 - Joselyn King
Saving the former Capitol Music Hall -- now called the Capitol Theatre -- is a commendable undertaking, and on its own it could pay SOME dividends to the city of Wheeling.
But here's the reality check. It's going to take business springing up around it and taking advantage of the traffic for the downtown to truly prosper from it.
And subsequently, those businesses will have to show initiative and take advantage of Capitol traffic passing their doors.
My first trip to Wheeling was in August 1990, when some college friends and I came up for a living World Wrestling Federation television taping at what is now WesBanco Arena.
It was a packed show. Thousands of people in the downtown, and we had to park on the roof of the old parking garage. Because we knew it would take us some time to get out, we went looking for somewhere to eat and chill out after the event within wallking distance.
At 11 p.m. on Friday night, choices in the downtown were few to none. No businesses were open to take care of a large chunk of ravenous wrestling fans.
Years later, after I moved to Wheeling, I attended a Sawyer Brown Jamboree U.S.A. Christmas show at the Capitol. They did two sold out shows -- one at 7 p.m., and one at 10 p.m.
Across the street was the Elder-Beerman store. That night, the store -- as a chain -- was staying open until midnight to tempt holiday shoppers.
But not in downtown Wheeling. That store closed at 6 p.m. -- just as thousands of concert-goers and potential customers were piling past their door.
Where was a live Santa and piano music to entice them inside?
Prosperity and opportunity often knock outside the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The Capitol can only provide so much of an economic impact. It's going to be up to other investors to "Capitolize" on it.

Actual Costs of Living in Chiang Mai, Thailand - CrossFit, Coffee and Chilling Out
I've been living in Thailand off and on now for the past four years. I usually come for 12 Weeks at a time, but sometimes spend 6 or 9 months here straight. In my book, 12 Weeks in Thailand: The Good Life on the Cheap, I break down every trip's expenses starting with my first trip to Koh Tao, Thailand then Koh Lanta, and finally Phuket. During my first trip, when I lived in Koh Tao, I used an excel spread sheet to break down everything from my daily coconuts, to chocolate bars, laundry detergent, tooth paste to dental floss.
But now that I'm over the hump, I'm just going to give you the major expenses as everything else is cheaper here than back home anyways.
Here is my actual living costs here in Chiang Mai, Thailand
Room - I have a single room with an attached western style toilet and hot water. I don't have a kitchen, but I do have a mini bar where I do some light cooking.
Cost is 3,200 Baht per month ($107US)
I had to put down a 4,000 baht ($134US) deposit but the place is month to month with no contract. Total for 1st month move in, 7,300 baht ($244US)
Wifi/Utilities: Water, Electrically and Internet is extra, but the good thing is there are no contracts. I have air conditioning in my room but I never use it as I have a great breeze with my windows and fan. Wifi is 300 baht a month ($10US) and Electic/Water is around 600baht a month ($20US)
Subtotal for Accommodation including all bills: 4,200 baht a month ($140US)
Edit: (Last month's actual cost for rent/wifi/fridge rental/electricity/water was 4,295 baht $143US)
Food Costs: I've been cooking a lot lately using a $10 table top burner I bought as I want to eat Paleo. Mostly I eat chicken breasts and vegetables cooked in grass fed butter with a side of sweet potatoes.
Chicken Breasts - 80 baht ($2.67) per kilo (2.2lbs)
Vegetables - 15 baht (50cents) per bunch (2.2lbs)
Sweet Potatoes - 10 baht (40cents) per serving (pre-cooked)
Anchor Grass Fed Butter from New Zealand (90 baht $3US per stick)
Average Meal Cost for Lunch/Dinner: 80 baht ($2.67US)
If I were to eat Thai food, the average breakfast/lunch would be 30-50 baht ($1US - $1.67US) and for dinner it could be up to 150 baht ($5US) if we went somewhere good and had big portions.
Cheapest possible food costs: 30 baht ($1US) per meal Thai Food.
My Monthly average food costs: 7,800 baht ($260US) which is actually on the expensive side as I'm eating Paleo and going out to nice restaurants often.
|Chicken Stir Fried with Onions and Peppers plus a fried egg. 35baht ($1.17US)
CrossFit Gym Membership: Back in the US, CrossFit gym memberships range from $150 to $250 a month depending on if you're in San Francisco, LA or in a smaller city. Here in Chiang Mai it is 2,600baht ($87US) per month for unlimited classes. Exercise is a big priority for me and I really love the personal training and group support of CrossFit so I happily pay the monthly membership cost even though it's almost the same cost as my rent.
Muay Thai Membership: I've stopped doing Muay Thai for the time being, but I was paying around 5,000 baht a month ($166US) for membership, an unlimited pass twice a day would be 8,000 baht ($267US) but if you read my book 12WeeksinThailand.com you'll see why I never pay more than 5,000 baht a month for Muay Thai. If you're interested in the sport, check out my Muay Thai blog where I traveled around Thailand training at the best Muay Thai and MMA gyms. It's www.MyFightCamp.com
Subtotal for all fixed costs: Rent/Food/Gym Membership: 14,600 baht ($487US)
Motorbike Rental: You'll want a scooter to get around. They're fun to drive, use almost no gas, and you can park them anywhere. Average costs to rent one are 1,500 - 2,500 ($84US) a month. Personally I bought a 2nd hand used motorbike instead. I paid 13,500 baht ($450US) for it 6 months ago and it's still running perfectly fine. When I leave I'll sell it for $350US to the same shop I bought it from or to a friend.
Gas/Petrol: Motorbikes use very less gas, so I average less than $10US a month driving around, even though I'm scooting everywhere around the city and into the countryside often for weekend trips.
Coffee: Sitting here in a very nice coffee shop with free wifi and having truly gourmet coffee, I spend 55 baht ($1.84US) for an iced Americano
|A latte at impresso 55baht ($1.87US)
So in total with my coffee addiction, rent, food, crossfit, and living the great life in Chiang Mai, Thailand on the cheap. I spent around $600US a month which is 18,000 thai baht.

The tests here recorded were performed at the U. S. Soldiers' Home at Washington D. C., in the course of an investigation to determine the prevalence of syphilis in that institution.
The inmates of the Soldiers' Home are all discharged soldiers who have served twenty or more years in the army, or who have been discharged for some disability incurred in the service. Practically all of the inmates, therefore, suffer from some disability or chronic disease, and the great majority are well along in years, 80 per cent, being between the ages of 50 and 80. There are a fair number of cases of locomotor ataxia, and a considerable number suffering from circulatory disturbances, liver diseases, etc. Under such circumstances it might reasonably be expected that a large proportion of these men would show evidences of having suffered from syphilis. This was, therefore, considered an exceptionally good opportunity to test

Japan's second-largest carmaker, founded in 1933, was not as hard hit by the March tsunami and earthquake as Toyota and Honda. In December, Nissan became the first automaker to introduce a mass-market pure-electric vehicle, the LEAF. Nissan also debuted a youth-oriented crossover car, the Juke, early this year. In TV advertising, the company has emphasized fuel efficiency, including in a "what if everything ran on gas" spot showing computers, phones, copiers, iPods, all belching smoke. Nissan's YouTube site shows video interior and exterior views of the new Versa sedan. The company's tag line: "Shift_the way you move."
