Apologies in advance for my tardiness with this update but I confess I have been all caught up in the excitement of the Princely Treasures opening night party, and what a party it was. The Gallery concourse was transformed into an elegant palace, themed meticulously, instantly evoking a sense of royal decadence. Guests entered the Gallery on a red carpet and were greeted by a string quartet dressed in full period attire.
Two banquet tables, adorned with a sumptuous feast, enhanced the experience and reiterated a time of royal ruling. The usual opening formalities proceeded and guests listened eagerly and intently until the exhibition was declared open! As the guests orderly ascended the staircase to the exhibition entrance they were greeted by a novelty portrait booth with many props to further transform their royal experience. The Marie Antoinette wig was the favourite.
The atmosphere from the Gallery staffs' perspective was one of relief and elation, not only was the exhibition up and running but it was a resounding success. We can now relax and enjoy the fruits of our labour. Drinks all round.

Viet Hai Village - Rustic beauty at Cat Ba Island
Cat Ba is the most illustrious island in Hai Phong, contained by the emerald green water of Lan Ha Bay. Here stands a village in the center of the jungle – Viet Hai fishing village.
Viet Hai fishing village
Numerous visitors come here to feel the lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery – air, mountains, trees and the locals. If you have chance to visit the village, you will experience one of the most unique type of village in the North Vietnam.
Back in the past years, Viet Hai was secluded from the world outside due to its distant locality; therefore, tourists coming here are amused by the wildness reserved perfectly as it was in old time. That is also the highlight of tours to Cat Ba.
The trail leading to Viet Hai
People here still live with the lifestyle dated back decades in comparison with the urban life. Families who own some motorbike will be regarded as the rich in the village. A seeming weird thing is that most visitors are not Vietnamese but foreigners.

People of the village are very friendly, honest and heartwarming. People here know each other very well so they don't close the door regardless what time in the day it is or if the host is home. When there is anyone needs help, all the villagers are willing to give a hand. Viet Hai is told to be a "virgin" to any social crimes. People live together by just love and care.
Thatched roof cottages in Viet Hai
Visitors go here to feel the tranquility and quietude to both physically and mentally escape from the bustling streets in the urban area. Come here in a fine day to sit in the shade and look upon the verdure is the most perfect refreshment.

Despite one of the poorest village of Cat Hai Commune, people there do not seem to be disappointed but rather enjoy their poor but a lot of love and care life.
The friendliness from the local here makes the village not a place to visit but home to come. You can cycle around the village or ask motor-taxi drivers who are farmers here to give you a ride around the area. If you prefer to try specialities of the island, you still can find local restaurants some of which are stilt houses in the area.
Food served in the local restaurants is taken from villagers' house in the area such as vegetable, chicken, duck or goose. The local in Viet Hai want to make their village a home for people from everywhere to welcome people as their friends and family.
Let's join us, Cat Ba Express to tour the village, a unique destination of the beautiful island!

Laura Muir to take on Zola Budd's 1985 mile record at Anniversary Games
- From the section Athletics
Laura Muir will attempt to break Zola Budd's 32-year-old British mile record at the London Anniversary Games on 9 July.
The 23-year-old Scot, who holds five outdoor and indoor British records, ran a personal best four minutes 19.12 seconds over the distance last year.
Budd's mark, set in Switzerland in 1985, is 4:17.57.
"It would be brilliant one month out from the World Championships," Muir told BBC Sport.
"To have another British record, and in the London Stadium again, would be fantastic. Fingers crossed I will be able to do something."
The world record - set by Russian Svetlana Masterkova in 1996 - stands at 4:12.56.
At last year's Anniversary Games, Muir broke the British 1500m record that had stood since Dame Kelly Holmes' gold medal-winning run in the 2004 Olympic final in Athens.
She expects her return to bring back happy memories.
"The main thing was just how loud the crowd was," said Muir.
"I am usually very focused on my race but I was just aware as I came into the final 200m of the crowd getting louder and louder. It was brilliant."
With the Anniversary Games just four weeks before Muir plans to take on a 1500m and 5,000m double at the same venue in the World Championships, it will also be a chance to maximise home advantage.
"It is really really helpful to know where the call-room, the warm-up areas, the kit drop-off and the toilets are," she added.
"Knowing that set-up is one of athletes' biggest worries going into a major championship.
"You want to have everything ready and not have to worry about anything else apart from doing the best you can on the track."
Alongside leading Britain's next generation of elite athletes, Muir is also training to become a vet.
Juggling studying and sport dates back beyond the London 2012 Games, when she organised a placement on a dairy farm so she would finish inspecting the morning milking round in time to watch the Olympic action at home in Kinross.
This year she has already squeezed in experience with the Dogs Trust and various local practices around winning 1500m and 3,000m gold at the European Indoors. The rest of the season is dedicated solely to athletics.
"After the disappointment of finishing seventh in Rio, we knew how important the indoor season was for me in the build-up to London," she added.
"We wanted to do really well there. We ticked that box pretty well and now everything is building towards London."

Daily Digest 16 November 2009
Today's roundup - including the Summary Care Record roll-out in London, cowboy cosmetic surgeons and how wearing a bikini can help fight cancer.
By Steve Nowottny
Today's roundup - including the Summary Care Record roll-out in London, cowboy cosmetic surgeons and how wearing a bikini can help fight cancer.
The official London launch of the Summary Care Record receives attention in a number of papers this morning, as well as from the BBC.
As Pulse reported some months ago, the first records in the capital are due to be uploaded at the Princess Street Group Practice in Southwark. But the scheme is now set to offered to every patient in London within months, while the Telegraph reports that: 'Family doctor practices across every party of the country will be transmitting the data by the end of 2011'.
The Daily Mail reports a warning that women wanting cosmetic surgery are increasingly at risk from 'cowboy cosmetic surgeons'. Nigel Mercer, president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, is reported as saying that 'public expectation, driven by media hype and professional greed' has culminated in a 'perfect storm in the cosmetic surgical market.'
The Times is one of a number of papers to cover an outbreak of swine flu in West Sussex, which has closed the Christ's Hospital boarding school after more than 100 pupils were infected.
And almost 80,000 cases of cancer could be prevented each year simply through healthy diet and exercise, according to a study by the World Cancer Research Fund. Amongst the advice given to patients, we're told that 'just 15 minutes of sunlight a day will give Britons enough Vitamin D to boost healthy hearts' – a fun fact which conveniently allows the Daily Express to publish an accompanying picture of bikini-clad beauties demonstrating exactly how one should obtain said sunlight.

Children from Becket Primary School have been busy creating a nature trail near their school in Worle.
Big Worle is a £1 million 10 year project funded by the National Lottery and aims to bring local people into the heart of making their area a better place to live.
Local residents have formed a Partnership called Big Worle and, after extensive consultation, drew up a plan on how to spend the money. There are many different aspects to this project and Avon Wildlife Trust have been asked to deliver a small (but very exciting) part - we are working with Becket Primary to do something very special along the green lanes of Worle – create a nature trail.
The children of Becket Primary have been busy since the start of school in September 2016 being nature detectives, improving habitats, building bird and bat boxes and planting wildflowers. In spring, we will have an official launch and invite everyone from the community to come along and celebrate what the class and community have achieved. By then the bulbs planted in October should be putting on a show and all the wildlife will be springing into life after their winter slumber. We will also have booklets to give out to everyone which describe the route, what can be found along it and how people can make small improvements for wildlife at home. Each double page spread will incude pieces of work created by the children from year 5.
On 17th March 2017 we will be enjoying a dawn chorus run by naturalist Ed Drewitt. We will start at the school bright and early and finish there with breakfast before school starts. It will be fantastic to find out what we can see and hear as we walk the nature trail route.
For more information, please email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Something Beautiful
Because it's Friday, and because there is so much strife and bitterness in the air, I share this with you. Republicans, Democrats, Religious, Agnostics, Atheists, males, females, gays, straights, whatever - please take a moment before going on to the next blog or making your next comment, or allowing the shadow of political ugliness to lay another pale shade of gray over your soul. It doesn't answer anything or prove me right or you wrong. It is a delightful short story, and it calls to mind Auden's words from In Memory of WB Yeats:
You were silly like us; your gift survived it all:
The parish of rich women, physical decay,
Yourself. Mad Ireland hurt you into poetry.
Now Ireland has her madness and her weather still,
For poetry makes nothing happen: it survives
In the valley of its making where executives
Would never want to tamper, flows on south
From ranches of isolation and the busy griefs,
Raw towns that we believe and die in; it survives,
A way of happening, a mouth.

In India, a name such as Rummy Sharma would be hard to miss. More so for the party goers and initial converts to the electronica magic in the capital city of New Delhi.
Rummy is often credited as the pioneer of Techno in India. He was also the rst and the only Indian to have played at the prestigious Love Parade Festival in 2006.

It's not quite Miss Crabtree teaching the kindergarten class, but the likes of Vince Carter, Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson have been full-time teachers, mentors and instructors to a very youthful bench this season.
Like after the 113-111 victory over Cleveland on Wednesday, Kidd noted of Carter's efforts with a young group around him that helped turn the game with a fourth-quarter surge.
"He was the dad out there," Kidd said of Carter. "He kept the kids under control. He put the kids in position to be successful."
"Well, I don't know if he's 'Dad,' " laughed Mikki Moore, "but I see what he [Kidd] means. Me and Vince and Eddie [House], when we're out there with the young guys, we try to point them in the right direction."
Results are materializing. In the eight games before last night's Meadowlands meeting with the Lakers, the Nets' bench outscored the opponents' reserves by five points a game, 33.1 to 28.1. But it's more than just points. The kids are starting to get it.
"We are a team so it's not about one group versus the other group," coach Lawrence Frank said of the bench, "but they've done a great job. One, they're always ready to go. Two, it seems like in many of our games, whether it's a win or a loss, that it's a different guy stepping up."
Rookie Marcus Williams has played from Day 1. Hassan Adams finally won Frank's trust and has become a rotation regular.
"Hassan has earned his time," Carter said.
Josh Boone was hurt and still is working his way into a job. And Mile Ilic is simply learning the ropes. So of the four rookies, two play. But there is more youth. Antoine Wright, who was sent home from yesterday's morning workout because of a virus, is in his second year. Bostjan Nachbar has only really played one full season. So any and all guidance by vets is invaluable.
"Everybody has been great," said Adams. "Richard [Jefferson] I've known since high school, and he's been a big mentor at each level.
And J-Kidd, Vince have been the same way. They're like brothers in the sense they want you to be successful.
They want you to get it and get it early. They don't want you waiting around, say 'til next year. They want you to get it now to help." Valid point. The Nets vets have known success, so none of them are looking over their shoulders.
There is no insecurity among the starters. For the reserves, there is a healthy competition.
"Everybody knows what they have to do on the court and they know that if they don't play good, another guy is going to come in," Moore, shooting .682 in his sub role, said of the bench. "That's the big thing. You get your minutes but they're threatened by the next guy on the bench because everybody on the bench can play. Last year, they didn't have confidence in some guys so certain guys knew they were always going to play.
"Now certain guys thrive off one another. It's not anything negative toward one another like, 'Oh, you've got my minutes' or 'I'm going to take your minutes.' Everybody wants to see each other succeed." All for one and one for all and all that. And the grizzled guys, like the ancient 29-year-old Carter – hey, he turns 30 next month (think he remembers Lincoln?) – have enjoyed the guiding part.
"Oh yeah," Carter said. "When we're out there with that group, be leaders. Lead them, direct them. Tell them, 'Don't be afraid to step up,' because they're good. They just need some direction out there."

"These sheets will never get washed," I think to myself as I yank the patterned cotton layers from my mattress and toss them in the darkest corner of my closet. I doubt I'll ever move forward with trading in the imprints of your scent and skin and smiling face for the clean cover up of detergent- mountain fresh or gentle rain, crisp linen, French lavender, or otherwise. Instead I will leave a time capsule in memory of our many furious attempts at connection, of all of the ample opportunities we had to say, "I love you," but never did.
Time will march on, because that's what time does. I will wipe away all other remaining remembrances- the figurative and the literal- as if conducting a deep spring cleaning of your presence in my life. The empty beer bottle on the kitchen counter. The pocket change on the nightstand. That time you laughed so hard in the car. A million little nothings bleached and Fabreezed and cleared away until there is no existing evidence of any nothings at all. Except the sheets, hidden away from voyeurs and viewers and house guests, puddled in a disgraceful heap in the back, back, back of everything I might think and do and everything I try not to think and try not to do.
One day, in a not-too-distant future, my house and car and thoughts will be spotless of your spirit, except for those stale linens in that safe locker, and I will find myself flooded with advice from my dead grandfather. Overwhelmed with his clarity, I will cry.
One, Do not take any wooden nickels.
Two, Do not speak with a forked tongue.
Three, If someone tells you they do not want to be loved, believe them.
Those sheets will never get washed. I'm throwing them out in the garbage. I'm getting a new mattress. Moving to a smaller apartment in a bigger city where nobody knows your name or my proclivity for making heart-shaped mistakes. Then some day, on a regular day, an unremarkable day, somewhere between the shared appetizers and awkward first date conversations, somewhere between the harsh reminder of sunrise and the soft release of evening, I will go shopping for new sheets in a color you hate- not out of spite but because I genuinely like the color- and a person standing in the aisle beside me will look my direction, and See Me. Like nobody else has seen me before- exhausted and grieving and round with regret. They'll know, without words, to cup together their hands, all at once strong and firm and soft and tender, and dive them straight into my chest. They'll grab my weary, heavy, pounding, pulsing center and, holding on tight, will whisper past my ribcage "Rest now, gentle one. Stop working so hard to be loved. You are loved. You have always been loved, past galaxies and lives and language and time".
I will sleep soundly that night, and all the other nights that follow. I will keep the floor of my closet swept and dusted and free from debris. I will wash my new sheets as often as I feel like they need cleaning. Because saving mementos is not necessary when people stay present. Desperate whiffs of stained fabric is silly when people stay put.

Korean Youth a Bunch of Morons!
Almost half of juniors surveyed, who will get their first voting rights in the 2007 presidential election, said in a recent poll that South Korea should side with North Korea if Washington attacks nuclear facilities in the North without Seoul's consent.But wait, there's more!
In the survey of 1,000 youngsters aged between 18 and 23, conducted by The Korea Times and its sister paper the Hankook Ilbo on Feb. 16-19, nearly 48 percent of respondents said that if the U.S. attacked nuclear facilities in North Korea, Seoul should act on Pyongyang's behalf and demand Washington stop the attack.
But 40.7 percent of them said Seoul should keep a neutral stance in the event of such attacks, while 11.6 percent said South Korea needs to act in concert with the United States.
Only 11% would back the US?
Now, I can understand part of this. It would piss me off if I was in Seoul and the US attacked the North. There is a good chance my home would be nailed in that case. Still, backing the North in that kind of a situation galls me to no end.
And more...
Oh yes, lets maintain the status quo and forget all those who are in prison or starving to death. The apathy of Koreans has always annoyed me.
Peaceful unification was the most preferred method of reintegrating the two Koreas, receiving the approval of 54.1 percent of respondents. But 35.5 percent said they have no problem in maintaining the status quo if the two sides can coexist peacefully.
Nearly 40 percent of respondents chose China as the partner most important for South Korea to keep friendly relations with. The United States came next with 18.4 percent and North Korea came third with 18 percent.
Half of the respondents considered themselves ``progressive'' (50.1 percent), while 21.1 percent of them said they are ``conservative.''Progressive, right. Can we say ultraliberal? It will be fascinating to see what happens in the next election.

Super Monaco GP Review
Super Monaco GP Review
Reviewed by FRG2000
The graphics are incredibly detailed in every way for a game from the early 1990's. The cars look very detailed, and even the driver portrait pictures look surprisingly good, despite the limitations of the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis in the USA).
I consider the music is in the game to be a masterpiece, with catchy yet amazing pieces throughout the game. However, what stops me giving the game 100/100 is the voice effects, which are really annoying and sometimes awful.
The game is surprisingly deep in World Championship mode, meanwhile the arcade mode is sometimes tame and a little easy.
In the World Championship mode, you start your career at Minarae(Minardi – the game doesn't have a licence for real names) and you have to do well in the races and progress until you get offered a contract at Maddona(Mclaren).
In the second season, you will get challenging by G.Ceara(Senna) and it's nearly impossible to win the challenge. The difficulty is so high that you'll probably get beat and end up having to you have to go back to the Dardan team (Scuderia Italia/Dallara) and try to win the championship again to finish the game.
It would be good if you could customize the names, as in other unofficial F1 games, because in Super Monaco GP you have to race under the name "You" and under the great country called "Your Country".
Replay Value:69/100
Apart from the challenges in World Championship mode and the entertaining SMGP Mode, there isn't much else here to hold your attention.
Despite being a game that's nearly a quarter of a century old, it has aged very well. It's top notch in every aspect and is a good game to play for retro enthusiasts.
The Verdict
Super Monaco GP is a masterpiece in almost every way.

My mom has nothing to wear
She has literally shipped up more than half of her closet to outfit me in the in-between phase.
She's not a big woman at all, but she is much more endowed on top than I am and regularly wears flowy dresses and shirts. In my non-pregnant days, I wore very fitted tops, dresses, skirts, pants, etc.
I know in earlier posts, I've mentioned that she is preparing to buy anything tiny and blue from most stores in Tupelo, my home town.
Well, she's also been regularly going through her closet for me.
At my last count, she has sent me (from her own closet) 3 pairs of shorts, 2 pairs of khakis, 6 or 7 dresses, 2 pairs of black pants, and oodles of shirts. She's coming for a visit this weekend and bringing me her overalls.
Bob says she's probably walking around Tupelo in her underwear. I don't think she's at that point, but she's probably left herself with just her business suits and T-shirts and sweats.

The first time I ventured beyond Cambridge in search of Franklin Café, the cab took us the wrong way down a very icy one-way street. The second time, the cab driver and I nearly beat each other up. For some reason, the powers that be are making it awfully hard to get to this tiny little restaurant, quietly tucked away in Boston's South End. Nevertheless, despite the perilous journey, I know I will return again and again.
Franklin Café has all the elements of a very good restaurant (particularly for the cost-conscious graduate student). The food is delicious and creative, yet surprisingly affordable (average entrée price: $16). The ambience supports the causal, the moderately dressy and the just plain confusing (like the woman in an old pair of jeans and a sweater sitting next to man in sports coat sitting next to woman dressed like '80s Madonna and a '90s Courtney Love). Furthermore (and perhaps most importantly), Franklin Café is one of the few places I know of in Boston/Cambridge with a kitchen that stays open until 1:30 a.m., making it a wonderful place for a late-night snack after a long day of (a) studying the law (1Ls), (b) drinking with the reasonable belief that you will study the law the next morning (2Ls) or (c) studying the law while drinking (3Ls).
Franklin Café can perhaps best be described as a bar that happens to be a restaurant, but does a really good job at both. There is but one long room with nine small booths to accommodate diners. In fact, you can almost touch the bar from your seat. This sounds cramped, but actually makes for a very fun atmosphere, as the restaurant is constantly abuzz with those from outside spilling into the bar, those at the bar spilling into the booths and those in the booths stumbling back to the bar.
Perhaps its only flaw (hardly fatal) is that Franklin Café does not take reservations, meaning that anyone planning on dropping by on a Friday or Saturday night should be prepared to wait an average of 40 minutes for a booth, unless you plan to eat like a senior citizen (kitchen opens at 5:30, grandpa). Not to worry, however, as Franklin Café offers those of us who embrace the 21st amendment a well-stocked bar to keep our taste buds (and liver) plenty busy while waiting for a table. The beer list mainly consists of the old standbys (Stella, Bud, Bass etc.), while the cocktail list is divided into "Straight Up" drinks and Franklin signatures (all $7). My trusty dinner companion (who possesses an astounding desire and capacity to sample just about every drink on the menu of the restaurants I review) was pleasantly pleased with the "Sparkling Peach" (Mathilde peach liqueur and champagne), remarking that it tasted like the Haribo peach candies she ate as a kid. Other notable concoctions include the tomato Martini (Belvedere vodka, tomato juice and piquant grape tomatoes), the "Rainbow Martini" (organic rain vodka, chambord, midori and sugar rock candy) and the "Mo Cocktail" (Ketel One vodka, half ounce of chambord and the juice of 5 lemon wedges).
Franklin Café may resemble a bar, but the culinary treats its menu offers would take offense at the label "bar food." For the carnivores among you, I recommend starting with the beef carpaccio ($7), a delicious array of raw, thinly sliced beef seasoned with capers, sea salt and extra-virgin olive oil. Seafood lovers will enjoy both the garlic grilled calamari (slices of fresh calamari served with baby pesto, baby white beans and lemon sauce; $8), and the surf and turf (grilled beef tenderloin chop accompanied by crusted prosciutto-wrapped shrimp; $9). The shining star, however, of Franklin's appetizer menu is most certainly the Prince Edward Island Mussels ($8), a heaping pot of fresh mussels drenched in a pernod, scallion, garlic, herb sauce (with plenty of bread for dipping).
Franklin's chef likes to keep the entrees fairly simple, with a modest selection of chicken, lamb and other game, as well as a few fish items rotated periodically. The veal scallopini (in lemon caper sauce and herb risotto, $16) is nothing to write home about, whereas the black pepper seared sashimi tuna loin (a good portion of which I stole from my dinner companion) I found more worthy of praise (particularly at $16, compared to what one would expect to pay at the typical Tremont Street eatery). Other notables include the pan seared Atlantic cod (with oyster mushrooms, scallions, ginger and garlic, $15), and the grilled lamb leg steak (served with rosemary chimichurri and black eyed pea salad, $16).
So when it's 12 a.m. on a Wednesday and you're trudging out of Landgell (nerd) or stumbling home from the Common (lush), spend a few of the clams you earned this summer and jet over to Franklin Café. A quick (but apparently sometimes dangerous, in my case) cab ride will turn 1 a.m. pizza and scorpion bowls into mussels and martinis.

Status: Finished
Genre: Erotica
Sally looked at his picture on her ipad. His tall dark features and cute face made her smile inside. At 26 she was old enough to know better then fall head over heels with a guy online.
Sally swipped her finger across the smooth glass screen to see his next picture. She never saw it before, how cute he was. It took her about 6 years before she wanted to turn this friendship into something more.
Their Skype 'sessions' had been informative to say the least. She was a little naive in a way, having never really learning much from men, she had been busy with her life, with doing things and not really noticing that she was missing out on the whole subject of men. And there was a subject and a lesson to be had from men wasn't there.
We all know the basics. They eat, stereotypically like football beer and girls.
She guessed he like girls, that's for sure, football, mhh, maybe more like cricket or rugby, beer maybe. Men had shots these days didn't they. He wasn't the type to drink heavily.
What did she know though?, people can be anyone they chose to be online.
Her eyes cast down the next picture of him, he was nude from head too toe but with only a book covering his privates. The smile on his face one of humour and knowledge in the fact that she'd love this pic.
Yeh, she loved this pic all right. His smooth chest and arms, his nipples where erect. She never knew men could even get erect nipples!. Why was she deciding to fall deeply with a man so far away?. Wouldn't it be better for such a late beginner to find someone local?.
The next swipe of her finger said it all. There he was totally naked. Not only naked, but with an erection. Sally wriggled her toes. She was laid on her bed in her pyjama shorts and camisole top. It's for certain that if he was here right now, she'd kiss his lips and make love to him.
It was about 6 inch's and normal girth. His balls shaven. The smattering of hairs on his chest. Sally grinned.
The name of this guy making her crazy?. Rafael...
Italy wasn't that far away from Britain, that's what she kept telling herself at least.
It was her Birthday soon anyway, she'd be 27. She guessed it was time to let herself enjoy the things a man could offer her.
Brushing her fingers through her hair she pouted her lips unknowingly clicking on his "Hey" message on Skype.
Accepting his call, his face appeared on her screen. He instantly smiled. "Hey" she waved. "Baby, you dressed for bed?".
" Ha, I called in sick today, not feeling well".
"Oh, what's happened?".
They used to only type on Skype, but she'd moved into a one bedroom apartment so could now talk to whoever, and as loud as she liked, within reason! Without upsetting others or disturbing their sleep.
Now they were voice chatting, and he's voice was just as sexy as he was.
" Maybe something I ate" she shrugged. His eyes squinted always as his mouth grinned, letting out a laugh. "I don't want you running off to the toilet!".
Moving his phone down, she saw his chest was naked. Italy is one hour ahead of Britain, one hour ahead of her home town of Leeds in fact. The one hour was good for Skype and keeping in contact easily.
" What's with the chest?" She asked trying to keep things casual. It was 7pm her time, so 8pm his.
"I just had a shower". She watched as he brushed his hand through his hair, stopping at the back of his head, her eyes taking in his muscley biceps as he layed down. Bringing the phone close to his lips, he began kissing the screen. This had her laughing, of course, what else could she do.
"How was your day Raf?"
"Uhh...." pulling the phone away he shook his head. "My company are all idiots!".
He explained something about computers, which she didn't understand at all, but she smiled, nodded and laughed as he told her what happened.
"You?, you just layed alone in bed all day?" she could read his mind.
"I got up, made breakfast, i did do stuff,... just not much......"
Rafael took in her features, she had brown hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. Her lips looked so soft and delicious.
She didn't know any of this, he'd never really told her how he felt, she assumed he wanted to keep it on a friend level.
"You wanna see me, i got a new toy".
Sally looked down away from his face as he said this. Although they where friends, they'd exchanged intimacey online.
"Don't be shy, silly".
Leaning over to his bedside, she looked up to see a sight of his bedroom wall. Coming back into sight, she saw him with what looked like a contraption. His eyes widened as he saw her look away embarresed.
"You not want to?"
His Italian accent sounded thick. "
it's just....." she sighed. He wanted to tell her she was beautiful but held it back.
"You make me stiff". Lowering the phone, he showed her the bump in his pyjama shorts. She guessed it was warm there too. Uk, was having rare warm weather at the moment, she'd never seen so many legs on show before.
"Tell me what too do". Rafaels hand smoothed across his bump, she was always speechless, he just carried on though.
Part of her was shy. the other part feeling so warm inside, she could feel her underwear get wet.
She watched as he pulled low his shorts, lifting his semi hard penis in his hand, he began to pump it.
"Take off your top".
She pursed her lips sighing, not impressed, feeling very odd and uncomfortable, but that just turned him on even more.
The look of her lips, she had on just a cherry lip balm, he wanted to suck her lips so much.
"What you thinking?"
Turning the camera back too his face, he pulled out his tongue playfully.
"We should stop....."
"Only if you take off that top...." his face serious before grinning.
"I'm naked underneath though"
"I'm naked too!"
Pulling the phone at arms length, she saw his whole naked body. He had muscles in all the right places. He was perfection. Plus his penis was now swollen and ready for action.
Lifting off her top, she pulled her ipad far, so he could take in the view of her chest.
Admiring each others bodies he let his hand go to his penis. wrapping his fingers around it he pumped once hard.
"put it on then, the toy".
She watched him put on the cock ring. It looked uncomfortable and tight around him.
Turning it on she watched his face.
"Now what?"
"Now we talk about your day" he winked.
"You know it, I called in sick about 8, went back to bed, 11 I got up to shower".
" A lazy bum day".
"You could say that". Reaching for her glass of water she took a sip.
" You feeling alright now?".
"Hmm mm" Sally smiled.
"Would you ever wanna meet me?" Her mind let it slip out so easily, she didn't even know that it was top of her list too ask him.
"You know, I can't..."
Who was she kidding. Sally was cute, but only slightly. Rafael was all man, any woman would love to be with him. A wave of sadness and self loathing washed over her, her chest felt silly been on display so easily and so bare.
"Marie... Right?".
The way her eyes where looking at him right now, told him that she hoped he'd forgotten about her, that Sally was the one for him. It was plain too see how much she adored him.
Marie was a woman he worked with in his Office. He'd mentioned her before. She was unsure if he'd did it on purpose, told her about the date they'd had. It had lead to sex, right there on the bed she was viewing him on.
She guessed she couldn't compare to an Italian lady, they where always so pretty and sophisticated.
" I may give her a chance, she's a real Doll"
A 'Doll?', what was this?, the 1920's!?"
"I should go" she said, feeling her tears coming to her eyes. He could see them redden, and her wipe the moisture away before it could form into a tear drop.
"You pissed at me Sal?"
Letting out a laugh she shook her head, tasting the salty tear that had quickly fallen from her eye, down her delicate pale skin, onto her eager to kiss him lips.
"You are not here...what can I do?" he said leaning in to kiss his phone screen. Sally closed the Skype down fast, her heart hurting, and her not wanting him too see her now as she let the tears flow.

Anyways, I was playing and there is this one problem that keeps bugging me: the player's backs. They're straight. I mean, literally, look at the shirts! It is obvious that the player's backs do not curve in any way, shape, or form. This looks very eery, is unnatural, and overall looks bad. Well~ after a while, I came up with a solution! And here it is, tell me what you think. I applied this update to both the male and female cotton shirt, and plan on adding it to the rest, if this idea is approved. To be honest, I like these better because they look far more natural and less eery.
Male Original / Male Improved
Female Original / Female Improved
If the idea is approved, here is the sheets for a dev to add to the SVN:
All development of pixel art and graphics

Listen to this article
Variety is the spice of life, they say. This could well be the motto when Insead, the international business school, chooses a new dean.
This summer athletic American accountant Frank Brown took over the reins from Gabriel Hawawini (amiable French academic) who in 2000 succeeded Antonio Borges (pugnacious Portuguese banker). The biggest difference, though, is that Mr Brown is a businessman, not a professor.
Not only does he not have the doctoral degree beloved of the academic world, he does not have an MBA either. Indeed, with only one language, English, to his credit – he is currently learning French – he would not get a place on his own MBA programme.
What he does have is 26 years working in the commercial sector, most latterly as head of PricewaterhouseCoopers' $3.5bn Advisory Services operating unit. He believes he can use his corporate expertise to improve the organisation and the process within the school – "connecting the dots", as he puts it. This would be pertinent to Insead, which, because it operates in France and Singapore and in two time zones, is far more complex to run than the average business school.
Moreover he has a real "full steam ahead" attitude and a strong view of what he wants Insead to be. "I'm really smitten with the place itself, the enthusiasm, the entrepreneurial spirit. You get the impression there is nothing you can't do if you put your mind to it.
"What do I want this place to be known for? The one that screams to me is leadership."
Mr Brown's approach to the subject of leadership may have a different focus to the esoteric academic theories; for him, leadership is placed fairly and squarely in a practical corporate setting.
"To me it [leadership] means developing other people, leading by example . . . [It's about] how you share authority, accept responsibility. One of the biggest misnomers in leadership is that it is given. It isn't, it's earned."
Mr Brown believes there is a real job to be done in promoting two different brands: the MBA degree itself and the Insead brand. "If you look at the MBA, what does it qualify you for? What happened over the past decade is that it has become less of a requirement. What we have to demonstrate is that it develops the next generation of leaders."
As to promoting Insead, one of Mr Brown's great strengths is that he will be able to promote the school in the US, where he believes the qualities of this internationally focused school are largely unknown. American corporates do not know of Insead's diversity, he says, nor that 900 MBAs graduate a year, the same number as the US's two big hitters – Harvard Business School and the Wharton school at the University of Pennsylvania.
Promotion, he says, will not be through a $50m advertising campaign but through word of mouth. "We have to talk to people, the right people. It's hard work. But we've not had a person with broad business experience trying to do that. It happens to be something I enjoy doing. I don't know a better way; we've just to focus on doing more of the same."
It is not just the MBA degree that Mr Brown wants to promote. Companies planning to enter the Chinese market should see Insead's deep expertise in Asian economies as a continuing resource, for example. Promoting the executive education programmes at Insead is particularly significant as these short non-degree programmes account for up to 45 per cent of the business school's revenues.
Mr Brown is open about academic concerns over his appointment. "There was certainly some apprehension among the faculty," he says. The two things they worried about most were whether he was the "sort of American who took no prisoners" and whether he knew anything about Insead.
On the latter count he was well-prepared. Although Mr Brown had never been a student at Insead – he studied on an advanced management programme at Wharton – he joined the Insead US advisory council in 2000 and became a member of the main Insead board in 2005. "From mid-September [2005] I spent a lot of time here [at Insead]. By the time I said yes to the job I felt I really had a handle on things."
Mr Brown, 50, has already re-organised the top management team at Insead. Now he is embarking on fund-raising. He acknowledges that this is a different proposition in Europe from the US. "We have a lot of alumni in Europe who have been very generous, but the difference between Europe and the US is that it [giving] is not habitual in Europe."
At the moment, Insead has just €70m (£47m) endowment principal in the bank, which gives an annual income of under €3m. Mr Brown believes the way to raise money is to "appeal to the heart strings". One plan he has is to introduce scholarships for people of colour, for example, in Africa.
The big question for any Insead dean is whether he plans to build on the dual-campus model and develop further campuses around the world – Prof Hawawini, Mr Brown's predecessor, had hoped to open a US campus.
Mr Brown is pragmatic. "You build another campus when you fill up the two campuses you already have."
As to the US, for the moment he is content to establish an office there for alumni relations. Only time will tell if he is the man to build an Insead campus on US soil.

Feminine Vaginal Hygiene Tips- Written by Debbie Nicholson owner of faithanddreams.org offering psychic reading services. Debbie can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
This may seem like a strange topic to write on but it is not. Without females using the proper hygiene and believe me there are those who do not (hence that fishy smell) it could lead to problems other than strong smell and odor.
Sebum will come from our glands that surround the clit and produce a shiny appearance on the glands. When we do not bathe or properly clean the area, sebum will collect and be called than smegma. That white cheesy appearance that is now adhering will keep on collecting until it is washed away. When not properly washed away and allowed to collect this can cause pain, irritation and/or stop the experience of orgasm.
Our natural body fluids do not expose us to any harm as long as proper hygiene is used. We do not need special soaps or washes. Just plain water. Sometimes those "special feminine" products can cause irritation. The myth of douching is just that a myth.
Here are some basic tips for feminine hygiene:

Sometimes we don't always get the rewards out of life that we should. It sometimes seems that you can spend most of your life working hard, earning money, paying your taxes and then when it comes to the point of retirement you could find that everything you have worked so hard to achieve isn't exactly worth quite what it seemed at the time.
In this article we'll look at the pension lump sum and what opportunities it offers.

WARSAW, Poland: Poland and Ukraine say they are taking steps toward developing a regional gas hub that would end Central and Eastern Europe's dependence on Russian supplies and keep prices in line with European standards.
The region still relies to some extent on Russian natural gas and has been exposed to political pressure from Moscow, which has limited supply volumes or hiked gas prices in the past.
Government officials participating in a debate Tuesday said the hub should be in place by 2022 on the Polish-Ukrainian border to supply the region with gas from Western Europe, liquefied natural gas from Poland's ports and from a new Baltic Pipe that will bring gas from the North Sea.
The existing pipelines, interconnections and storage facilities will be developed for the purpose.

September 18, 2013 HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY MANAGEMENT COMMISSION No. 42
The Management Commission met at approximately 9:00 a.m. in the House of Assembly Chamber.
MR. SPEAKER (Wiseman): Good morning, everyone.
Welcome to the House of Assembly Management Commission meeting. My name is Ross Wiseman. I am the Chair of the Commission and Speaker of the House of Assembly.
For the benefit of the Broadcast Centre, we will go around the table and introduce ourselves, starting with Mr. Verge, to my left.
MR. VERGE: Wade Verge, Deputy Speaker, MHA for Lewisporte district.
MR. GRANTER: Vaughn Granter, MHA, Humber West.
MR. KING: Darin King, MHA, Grand Bank district and Government House Leader.
MS SHEA: Joan Shea, MHA, St. George's – Stephenville East.
MR. A. PARSONS: Andrew Parsons, Opposition House Leader and MHA, Burgeo – La Poile.
MS MICHAEL: Lorraine Michael, MHA, Signal Hill – Quidi Vidi.
MS KEEFE: Marie Keefe, Clerk's Office.
CLERK: Sandra Barnes, Clerk.
MR. SPEAKER: Thank you, and welcome everyone.
Everybody has a copy of the agenda for today, together with their binders with all of the appropriate briefing notes. There are two items that have been inserted this morning and before we start, I just want to bring it to your attention.
They will be inserted under Tab 6, and they are two additional letters of appeal dealing with MHA claims. There was not a great deal of preparation necessary for them. They are routine in nature, so I have taken the liberty of having them inserted in your binders this morning. With everybody's concurrence, we will deal with those when we deal with that Tab 6.
Everybody has had a chance to have a look at the information that was circulated earlier. We will deal will Tab 1 first, which is the minutes of the May 15 and July 16 meetings. You have had an opportunity to review them. I will entertain a motion to adopt them as circulated.
MS MICHAEL: So moved.
MR. SPEAKER: Ms Michael.
Mr. Granter.
Are there any comments or discussion?
By way of information, at the May 15 meeting there was a question posed with respect to the financial statements that were provided at that time with respect to the MCRC budget. The statement at the time under the areas of Professional Services there was a deficit of $15,000. There was a question around how much we actually spent and kind of an explanation of why that overrun in that particular expense category.
You might recall the way the budget is broken down is there are a number of expense categories so costs are charged out to a particular expense category. Overall, the budget for that review that was done by Judge Brazil and her group, as a Commission we had budgeted $100,000 even for that, and the total cost was $105,855.
That particular one expense item of Professional Services, we had budgeted $80,000 and the actual cost was $95,000. That related directly the reimbursement of the Department of Justice for Judge Brazil's salary for the portion of her time that she spent doing that review. We had budgeted $80,000 and it became $95,000. It is what it was; we had to reimburse Justice for the salary cost for that period. We did not spend as much on other salaries that we had budgeted, nor did we spend as much on transportation and communications. So, the net effect was that we spent $5,855 more for that review than we actually had budgeted for last year.
So that is an explanation I said I would bring back to the Commission when I had got the additional detail. Any questions with respect to that, though?
Okay, there being none, all those in favour of adopting the minutes – oh, I am sorry. Ms Michael.
MS MICHAEL: Maybe just one.
MR. SPEAKER: Yes.
MS MICHAEL: That $15,000 for the judge, how did that compare to what the money would have been if we had paid somebody outside, like we had done in the past?
MR. SPEAKER: Well, when we drafted our budget, we had talked about having $5,000 in salaries in that expense category and $80,000 for Professional Services. So we had envisaged $85,000 in total for compensation related to the review.
MS MICHAEL: Right.
MR. SPEAKER: At the end of the day, we spent $95,000.
MS MICHAEL: Okay.
MR. SPEAKER: So that was the difference in what we had envisaged versus what had actually occurred as a result of that decision to go that route. You recall, the Budget figure we used was based on the actual experience of the previous –
MS MICHAEL: That is what I was wondering, yes.
MR. SPEAKER: – review that we had completed after the last general election before that.
MS MICHAEL: Right.
Thank you.
MR. SPEAKER: Okay.
Is everybody in favour of the minutes?
SOME HON. MEMBERS: Aye.
MR. SPEAKER: Thank you.
On motion, minutes adopted as circulated.
MR. SPEAKER: Under Tab 1 as well, a couple of routine things that we have a responsibility to report back to the Commission with. One is with respect to the delegated authority that goes to the Clerk to make certain decisions under section 25(1) of the act. We are advising the Commission that there was a decision to spend $255 for furniture for the office of the MHA for Bonavista South. The information is provided for you here.
In addition to that, under the delegated authority to the Speaker in consultation with the other parties, we had asked the Department of Finance for a warrant to come up with the money to fund the by-election in Cartwright – L'Anse au Clair. You might recall, as part of our annual budgetary process we had not made any provision for any by-elections and had not envisaged it. So when it happened, we were not in a position to fund it.
There is a special warrant that has been issued to cover off the cost of that. As I understand, the process now in terms of getting that back to the House, the Minister of Finance, or someone on behalf of government will table that special warrant, issuing of that special warrant in the House when it next sits, so the House will be aware of it as a whole House.
Under Tab 2, we have the Financial Reports, and there are two periods that these reports cover. The first part covers the financial period of April 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013. That is the first quarter. These statements reflect the operating performance of all the budgetary areas for the House of Assembly itself, together with all of the individual members and their expenditures to run their constituency offices during that same period of time. We will deal with one of them at a time.
Are there any questions or issues with respect to this particular set of statements?
The next set of statements under that – I am sorry, Ms Michael.
MS MICHAEL: Mr. Speaker, it is a general question. There are a number of places, for example, Hansard and the Broadcast Centre, Office of the Chief Electoral Officer, part of that we understand, but a few other places, too, Office of Child and Youth Advocate, where there are overruns in the salary area, and I fully understand the reason for the overruns. The explanations are clear but just a general question.
With the tight budget that we have, is there any fear about covering these overruns in the salary lines, because there are a number of places where we have them?
MR. SPEAKER: Yes. It is a fair question, actually, because we recognize this is the first quarter and in salaries, generally, it evens out because the salaries are twelve months. They are a recurring expense every pay period. When you see salaries that sink a little bit, it is a fair question to pose.
As I understand it, we are comfortable with the salary targets. For example, the Child Advocate, that one is over because there is a person who finished up last year, taking their severance and being paid out on a biweekly basis. Therefore, there is a salary being paid out of that budget that really was not budgeted for as a part of their core staffing, but there is a mechanism that that money will get recovered. The House of Assembly will recover that money from a severance pot held in the Department of Finance.
MS MICHAEL: Okay.
MR. SPEAKER: When severances are paid out by departments - and the House of Assembly is included in that budgetary exercise - if you do not have enough money to cover the shortfall of severance payouts it is then picked up from a separate fund within Treasury Board.
MS MICHAEL: Great.
MR. SPEAKER: I think it is Treasury Board, but it is housed within Finance or Treasury Board, and that is what is happening here. At the end of the year there will be reconciliation.
MS MICHAEL: Okay.
MR. SPEAKER: If that budget category has a shortfall of the equivalent of that salary payout, it will be recovered from that fund.
MS MICHAEL: I got it.
Thank you.
MR. SPEAKER: There is one other area, and I think the officials in Corporate Services have had some discussions with respect to salary areas in your caucus, I believe –
MS MICHAEL: That is right, yes.
MR. SPEAKER: - to make the adjustment to ensure we are on target as well.
MS MICHAEL: Thank you.
MR. SPEAKER: Are there any further questions on this particular one?
The next set of statements deal with the period ending March 31, 2013. Are there any questions with respect to the statements that you see here?
Just as a general comment, because this reflects the last fiscal year's performance. If you look at the tab that talks about – at the end, a summary of all of the expenditures under the House of Assembly's budget, with the exception of the Office of the Auditor General. That particular summary of all those collective budgets, last year we had a surplus of $1.7 million, but you might recall we made some significant adjustments in last year's budget.
We have taken this year's budget and made it more accurately reflect what last year's actuals were. So we should not find ourselves with that kind of surplus at the end of this year because we have kind of right sized the budget to reflect our actual experiences in recent years.
That information under Tab 2 is for information purposes. We do not need an acceptance by the Commission.
Under Tab 3, these are the reports of the various caucus funding grants. Each caucus would get a monthly allocation based on the number of people sitting in their caucus.
Each of the caucuses has a responsibility to file an annual report outlining their expenditures, the revenue they have gotten, and the expenditures by various expense categories.
What you are seeing here is the various caucuses living up to their responsibility to report to the Commission how they used those funds that were allocated in the budget process.
You will note, there was a readjustment made in the allocation for the person sitting as an Independent Member for a period of time, but as of the reporting period here, there had not been any expenditures made from that allocation. So there is no summary here, obviously. Again, this is for information purposes but if there are some questions or comments, please feel free to make them.
MS MICHAEL: (Inaudible) with regard to the Independent MHA, we know that position is gone now, but are you expecting that there were any expenditures during that period of time and it just has not come in?
MR. SPEAKER: No, there were no expenditures over that period at all.
MS MICHAEL: There were not any at all.
MR. SPEAKER: This would reflect any expenditure incurred and charged during that period. I have no way of knowing, between the period of April 1 and up until recently, whether there were any expenditures or not.
MS MICHAEL: Okay.
MR. SPEAKER: There would be no obligation to report on those until the end of the next fiscal year. The next fiscal year, when we do this exercise, we will have a similar report for the period of April 1 up to the time of that change from that individual who sat independently.
MS MICHAEL: Okay.
Thank you.
MR. SPEAKER: The allocation for that individual now gets, obviously, rolled over into that of the Official Opposition.
Tab 4, again, is for information purposes. This is the audit of the Auditor General. The Auditor General does – which we will deal with in a moment – the annual audit for the House of Assembly, but the Office of the Auditor General is subject to an audit as well. What we have here is the audited report from Grant Thornton on the Auditor General's Office. As you can see from the report and the letter attached, they are providing a passing grade and a clean bill of health. The accounting practices of the AG are all in order and everything is fine.
Tab 5 is a report from the Audit Committee; the Chair of that is Mr. Granter. The Audit Committee has made a recommendation to the Commission that we would appoint the Auditor General to do the audit of the House of Assembly for the year ending March 31, 2014.
I would entertain a motion from the Commission that we would follow the recommendations of the Audit Committee and appointment the Auditor General to do the House of Assembly audit for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.
Moved by Mr. King; seconded by Mr. Parsons.
Tab 6, I had indicated earlier that we have added a couple of other appeal letters. These are in areas where the MHAs involved had submitted a claim for reimbursement that exceeded the sixty-day submission deadline. Before the Corporate Services department can actually process these claims, they need the permission and approval from the Commission.
What I will do is we will deal with them individually. The first one comes from the Member for Terra Nova and the amount of these expenses are $2,526.12. These are expenses that have deemed to be eligible for reimbursement and had they been submitted within the timelines, they would have been paid automatically.
Because of the authority that the Corporate Services department has, they do not have the authority to pay it once it has exceeded the deadline. So, I would be asking the Commission if they would approve and direct Corporate Services to pay the amounts of these claims. We will do it by way of a motion for each of them.
The hon. the Member for the District of Terra Nova.
Ms Michael; seconded by Mr. Parsons.
All those in favour, 'aye'.
SOME HON. MEMBERS: Aye.
MR. SPEAKER: Motion carried.
The next one we have comes from the District of Trinity – Bay de Verde. A similar circumstance – the explanation provided on the first one applies to this one as well; the amount in this case here is $306.
I entertain a motion.
Mr. Granter; seconded by Mr. King.
All those in favour, 'aye'.
SOME HON. MEMBERS: Aye.
MR. SPEAKER: Motion carried.
The next one we have is the Member for Mount Pearl South. This one is a similar circumstance, only this time we are involved in an invoice and an expense that occurred in the last fiscal year, so this will be charged to this year's budget and not to last year's budget. The principle of meeting the approval of the Commission remains the same, so the amount of $56.50 for the District of Mount Pearl South.
A motion to that effect.
Mr. Parsons; seconded by Mr. King.
All those in favour, 'aye'.
SOME HON. MEMBERS: Aye.
MR. SPEAKER: Motion carried.
Then we have the one we walked in this morning, the Member for Conception Bay East – Bell Island. It is the same circumstance and this time the amount is $100.
I entertain a motion.
Mr. Granter; seconded by Mr. King.
All those in favour, 'aye'.
SOME HON. MEMBERS: Aye.
MR. SPEAKER: Motion carried.
The final one is the appeal from the Member for St. George's – Stephenville East and two amounts: one in the amount of $36.75; and the second amount is $56.
So I will entertain a motion for the payment of those for the Member of St. George's – Stephenville East.
Mr. Granter; seconded by Mr. Parsons.
All those in favour, 'aye'.
MS MICHAEL: I do not have a copy of that one.
MR. SPEAKER: I am sorry, Ms Michael.
MS MICHAEL: I do not have a copy of that one. I think I have Mr. Brazil's (inaudible).
MR. SPEAKER: Okay. They are there, are they, Ms Michael?
MS MICHAEL: Yes.
MR. SPEAKER: Okay, perfect.
The last tab in your binder, the information pertaining to that one was sent out to you by way of an e-mail from the Clerk on August 15. A couple of other members mentioned earlier this morning as well that they had not received the e-mail. The e-mail, like I suggested, was dated on August 15 at 10:32 a.m. It was from the Clerk. It was sent to all the members of the Committee. There was a PDF report attached.
The PDF report attached to that was the report of the Office of the Commissioner for Legislative Standards, the report to the Commission dated August 9 with respect to an investigation that was conducted as the result of a complaint that was registered by the previous Member for the District of Cartwright – L'Anse au Clair with respect to the Member for Conception Bay East – Bell Island.
It was distributed to you and on today's agenda for information purposes. I just want to share with you the process that will happen with a report such as this. There are two pieces of legislation that guides this process after the commissioner has finished the piece of work he has done. Firstly, it is embedded in the House of Assembly Act. I will just cite it for you.
Section 44.(1) says, "Where the request for an opinion is made under subsection 42(1) or (3), or where the commissioner conducts an inquiry under subsection 42(2), the commissioner shall report his or her opinion to the Speaker of the Assembly who shall present the report to the House of Assembly within 15 sitting days of receiving it if it is in session or, if not, within 15 sitting days of the beginning of the next session." That is the House of Assembly Act, and it gives direction to me as the Speaker.
The second piece of legislation that guides us in dealing with this report comes from the House of Assembly Accountability, Integrity and Administration Act, and section 36.(1) or (3) would apply. It says, "Where a request for an opinion is made under subsection 36(1) or (3), or where the commissioner conducts an inquiry under subsection 36(2), he or she shall report his or her opinion to the commission which shall present the report to the House of Assembly within 15 sitting days of receiving it if it is in session or, if not, within 15 sitting days of the beginning of the next session."
So, the Speaker and the Commission, in both cases, dictated by two different pieces of legislation really functions as a conduit for this report to the House of Assembly. As a Commission, or myself as a Speaker, have no authority to deal with it and dispose of it. We have an obligation to bring it to the House, and the House itself as a whole will deal with the report.
In my capacity as Speaker, and jointly then in my capacity as Chair of the Commission on behalf of you, I will present this to the House of Assembly when it sits again this fall, and the House will dispose of that report. I have it on the agenda to share it with you for information purposes so we know where it goes.
That concludes the agenda as we had distributed it. I will entertain a motion for adjournment.
MS MICHAEL: So moved.
MR. SPEAKER: Ms Michael.
Thank you very much, folks. We will attempt to convene another meeting of the Commission I suspect some time in early November.
Thank you very much, and enjoy the rest of your fall.
On motion, meeting adjourned.

Domain development phase is very crucial and may consume a lot of time. Domain is unlike a landed property which appreciates in values even when nothing is done. You need to apply some development techniques on your virtual property before anything does happen.
Flippers need to be skillful on developing his domains for churning out good amount of money. Your domains must not be left idle without making use of it. You need to park them or host them as well as write good content on their sites on a daily basis. However, if you are parked, you can use your domain as signature under your contributions at forums after quality contributions as well as also write articles which systematically generate leads to the parked domains.
If the above activities are very well carried off, then the very age of your domain the more it will appreciate further in value. The flippers who do not believe in parking lose out money as the traffic that comes to your parked domain names refers to purchase one thing or others. For your domains that yield up to $150 on a regular basis with good amount of traffic.
You need to know how to sell domain as it varies from one flipper to another. However, the virtual gems are valuable enough with purchaser negotiating for purchase. It represents an area which requires patience, hard work and diligence.
The very cost of your domain must be negotiated out between the bidder as well as the owner. However, what matters relates to relevancy of the domain, age and traffic capacity of the domain must enable the two sides for reaching a compromise on the selling price.
In addition to this, you need to check the past sales of other related domains that can help to reach an agreement. You may not get buyer for some domain early, but with more the age of domain the more search engines pay attention to such domains and the more the domain is active, it will bring out traffic and clicks. Thus, it isn't advisable to sell any of your domains in a hurry.
In order to develop your domains through hosting them, you need a web host which is cheap, reliable and specially designed for domain flippers for enabling you to host for a reasonable price.
