What an amazing episode… perhaps the best of the season. Beautifully acted and well written – they do a great job of tying the million plot strands together.
I was definitely struck by how callous Will seemed in this episode. Alicia was definitely disappointed. I think she needs to stay away from lawyers and politicians.
Becca is devious and I love the dialogue between her and Eli.
Finally… am I the only one who really loves the idea of a Cary and Kalinda romance? Both of them are really cutthroat, manipulative people, yet somehow when they're together they bring out the best in each other. It's weird, but it works. Great chemistry.
@ Ashley – yes hoping for a Kalinda/Cary romance:). I do not think Peter adn Will are"awful" as has been said earlier. Im glad FINALLY we are seeign shades of Wil that were hidden . I think Alicia and Will have beeb deluding themselves for a while with this whole romance thing. Alicia knew Will in Georgetown. People change and i dont think she really knows this Will.
I kept thinking after that tightly wound scene where Alicia confronts Will about Edelstein how great it would be to see them battling it out on opposite sides in the courtroom… then they can go to bed, if necessary, in Season 4.
This was the season finale, right? I read it in another source and didn't see it anywhere else….
@end of season: No, the season concludes in May.
Alicia should accept Viola's offer. Then she can battle Will in court. And while Bond was packing his stuff, there was not sign of his henchman – don't remember his name, Kalinda's nemesis.
I think that the mistaken notion that this was season finale comes from the absence of next week's preview. Often happens after a sweep month – which February was. Heading into several reruns.

I am lead to believe that this problem is rampant. I would like to validate that with evidence from models who have or have not experineced this personally.
This isn't the point, a model asking about doing nudes is very different than saying you do them and then getting inundated with offers to do porn, escort work etc.
Agreed that it's wrong to push someone to do something they aren't comfortable with, the point of the thread is to see if there what evidence there is of this happening with what frequency. I don't think photographers can really supply this type of information. Granted a model posting his/her experience here is not going to be a scientific sample but it will at least be objective evidence and not hearsay.
How is this related to the topic?
Gonna be kind of hard for models that have pulled their profiles to respond in this thread, or for models that have decided to stay to speak for why a model that has left would leave.
I guess I need to be clearer, my question isn't why you'd pull your profile, the question is how wide spread is the problem, thus the title of the OP. Everyone was a newbie once and would be able to share if it happened and if so was it prevelant or infrequent for him or her.
Yeah, I get the title...but in your OP, you seem to strongly believe that many newbies leave the site because of inappropriate offers...and want to validate that belief using the experiences of those that have decided to stay.
How can those that have decided to stay validate your belief that newbies are leaving/have left because of the proliferation of inappropriate offers?
I don't think I stated that I strongly believe newbies leave the site because of this. Newbies leaving was the seed crystal that got me wondering if this was a frequent occurrence. Everyone was a newbie once and would have experience (possibly) with getting inappropriate offers.
I think Shaz is right.
To a certain extent the site is self-selecting when it comes to success or failure.
I'm assuming by "inappropriate" the OP means an offer for the sort of work that a model's profile has stated she doesn't do. Whether this means nude, or spreads or photoshopping someone to look like a fairy, it doesn't really matter.
I don't get more offended by the small amount of adult work I get offered (maybe 5% of total offers at the very most) than I do by brand-new photographers who want me to do a TFP shoot with caution tape. It's all just work I'm not interested in - and I can't blame them for asking in case I'm one of the billion people on here who says they do one thing, then do another.
By definition "porn" is not allowed on MM so therefore I would think that to be inappropriate for here. Yes I am referring to work that the model clearly states she doesn't want to do.
ever hear of ambien?
im not sure if you mean this; but when i first started (not on MM) but decided i would like to try out modelling, i saw an advert online in one of the forums (can't remember the name) looking for adult modelling, i had no idea what "adult" modelling ment but i thought i'll email and find out, after sending a few shots of myself (fully clothes) the assistant contacted me quickly via email (around 10pm at night) said that she was interested in my looks and would love to see me asap. we got to chatting via email, as she wanted to call me that night-which i refused. She said, i had the perfect look and body for adult modelling, i asked her about what sort of modelling she was organising, she gave me little details on the sort of modelling, but insisted i come the next day to the shoot which would be at 8pm, the photographer will pick me up in his car, and we go to a hotel, and he will make me feel relax -and i will be at ease with him..i was alittle unsure about this idea, and told her, im not interested in sex or porn shoots, and she tried to reassure me that other models dont have a problem with it or dont complain, i told her im not an 18year girl and she goes on to question whether i have sex cos i was 30 or i cant get a root etc.. i was so angry and she stated that "photography is dead and the only way to make it into modelling is to do video photography and adult modelling" - i asked another photographer about this, and he said, yes- you have to sleep with the photographer if you want to be successful. i am no longer friends or talking with this photographer as he gave me bad advice..
Did they initiate the contact?
Typically only respond to queries... find that if the talent is interested enough in initiating contact it indicates they have done due diligence and are sincere about collaboration...
might consider switching to a passive mode... works for me...
It's just a big game of whack-a-mole. One profile gets taken down, there are 2 more waiting to pop right back up.
I do CAM the offers for adult work however, CAMing them only goes so far. Some of these guys just make another profile and try again.
I don't think they ever would. They want big membership numbers, putting up a roadblock of requiring paperwork would grind that to a halt.
When I first signed up, for at least 6 months, the majority of my inbox was as follows
-thinly veiled porn
-offers for something else that turned into porn as the conversation went on
-people with no portfolio/references
-people really freaking far away
-legit but stupid offers
-legit good offers that i actually took
I was 17.
A LOT of newbies are young. A lot of newbies havent tried doing any sort of business online before. Being bombarded with unappealing offers would naturally lead a newbie to believe "well if thats all Im going to get, whats the point?" and pull their profile.
One of the first places I went when I signed up was into the forums. I saw other people complaining of those types of messages, and I saw that there were a lot of other people (models and photographers) who were on their side and proof that once you weed through the bullshit you could actually maybe get somewhere. So I stayed around and ignored the offers I didnt want, CAMed the ones I could, and eventually made it to round two and set up some good shoots that helped build my portfolio. The website has a huge membership, only a very small percentage even see the forums much less participate in them. Theres no banner that pops up over your inbox when youre a newbie that says "HANG IN THERE, IT GETS BETTER! ITS NOT ALL POV "artistic" PORN!".
If you haven't you will probably get some now (or maybe already)
Oh no! That wasn't a request
I don't even do nudes, and I have gotten some offers. A paid foot modeling shoot. Right before the shoot on my way, the photographer and I chatted, he told me he will massage my feet and thighs before the shoot, to "prep me." I was on my way by myself to see him, and decided this sounded a little too much. -_- since when do I need a massage right before a shoot, especially up my thigh area near my private. Really!!??
I actually think the reverse it true. As years have gone by, and I've gotten older, I've gotten MORE requests for hard content.
I think the general mentality is that women over 25 or 27 start getting "desperate" for work, and are more likely to shoot explicit material. Obviously, I don't think age has anything to do with what we choose to shoot, one way or another, but I did notice that when the rates I could get for basic girly-erotic work started to decline (when I was about 28 or so), the offers for hard content started to increase, on other sites, around that same time.

ENACTING POPULISM: On Populist Reason
A conversation with Ernesto Laclau and Davide Tarizzo
Part 1
ENACTING POPULISM: On Populist Reason
A conversation with Ernesto Laclau and Davide Tarizzo
Part 1
from Foundland, Simba, the last prince of Ba'ath country, 2012.
For Enacting Populism, Foundland shows work based on an on-going investigation of pro-regime propaganda images which are created by the Syrian Electronic army and distributed on Facebook. By working with an archive of Photoshop engineered, mysterious worlds Foundland unravels the logic and utopian vision of a regime which has legitimated the deaths of thousands of Syrians since 2011.For the Enacting Populism show at the Kadist Foundation, Foundland presents a video installation and accompanying publication entitled: "Simba, the last prince of Ba'ath country". The publication traces the functioning of Facebook and social media for the distribution of digital propaganda, and highlights ways in which these strategies are currently being countered and undermined by activists. Foundland's video installation is a playful re-interpretation of stock images before these images became used for propaganda, sketching a placeholder-rife political visual landscape.
«I think that the prospects in today's Western Europe are rather unpleasant. All the governments in Western Europe are reacting to the crisis with extreme neoliberal formulas of adjustment. Zapatero has just passed a set of draconian measures and you know what is happening in Greece. In Germany the situation is also relatively unsustainable, and in England the relationship between Nick Clegg and David Cameron is quite feeble because there exist strong tendencies within the Liberal Democrats to reject the coalition agreement and the way it is implemented. So the situation is bad, and this all the more because the social democratic parties, which are the only viable alternative at the moment in Eastern as well as Western Europe, do not have any alternative plan. These conditions fuel extreme right-wing populism. If you don't have an alternative to the system, people who feel a need for such an alternative move to extreme ideologies, wheter they are right-wing or left-wing. Take the example if France. There existed a classical discourse of opposition, which was that of the Communist Party and the red belts of the industrial cities. This world has disintegrated as a result of the tertiarization of the labour market. The outcome was a unique system of ower in which the social democrats and the more conservative forces did not differ very much from each other. The only political alternatives were to be found on the fringes of the left and right, yet it is the right fringe that has progressively expanded. Many former voters of the French Communist Party are today voter of Le Pen, a phenomenon thart is called gaucho-lepénisme. The reason is simple: if you want change in some way, the precise way om which that change is going to happen and its ideological framing become a seconday matter. And that is of course not only the situation in France. The chances for a left populism are today in Western Europe rather minimal. Populism is going to expand, but it will be a populism of the right."
Ernesto Laclau, excerpt from an interview by Rudi Laermans, appeared on The Populist Imagination, Open magazine no. 20, Nai Publishers, 2010

You could be living with arthritis and not have a clue, inspite of you're body giving you subtle hints. If you're joints hurt when you are getting up or if you have stiff joints or a stiff knee or you're hip hurts, you need to take a closer look at your bone health.
"Arthritis can affect you anytime and most of the affect is felt on the hips and knees. Arthritis is a condition when your joints become swollen, stiff and red. It will also restrict your movements and there are associated health risks", points Dr Rajeev K Sharma, Senior Consultant Orthopedics & Joint Replacement Surgeon, Indraprastha Apollo hospital.

Kinect Sports: Review
The Xbox 360 Kinect, Microsoft's new gaming toy, released to the world, only a few months ago. For those that don't have it, you may wonder, how it is? How are the games? And most of all, do they work? Well, carry on reading to find out, about one of Kinect's most popular game!
Kinect Sports, one of the first games to be released for Kinect, along with the also popular Kinect Adventures and Kinect Joy Ride. Kinect Adventures is a game, perfect for an active family, making you jump, duck, weave, and move around much of your room. A recommended game for a younger audience and their parents, but anyone over 14, may quickly get bored, unless trying to entertain youngsters. Kinect Joy Ride, a game, where you hold an airborne, invisible steering wheel, and drive your vehicle across many tracks, and through many clouds, and a quick pull back with your arms, and you're going twice as quick. Joy Ride, a game made more for the older generation, as they can relate to real driving, but can satisfy the younger generation for some time, until they get bored.
Kinect Sports however, is the game, that can entertain any age, or sex, for numerous hours of joy. Kinect Sports get you moving, running and jumping all over the room, but without needing to much play space. Sports, gets you kicking a football, sprinting on the spot, throwing a javelin, smashing a volleyball and even beating up your friend, just virtually. Kinect Sports has three main game types; Main events, Mini games and Party Play.
Main events, is how it reads, the main events, here you get to play six different games; Football, Bowling, Track and Field, Boxing, Ping Pong and Beach Volleyball. I will start with what I consider to be the two best 'Main Events'; Bowling, and Track and Field.
Bowling, like on, one of the Wii's best selling games, Wii sports, is one of the most popular games, where up to 4 of your family and friends, online or offline can play together. An easy task of bowling a virtual ball, down a virtual lane, sounds simple, but it is anything but if you want to get strike after strike. Positioning of the body and feet in accordance to the lane, is just as important to the positioning of your arm that you are bowling with. As with all the games in Kinect Sports that involve an object you have to pick up, you get a choice of which hand to use, this chosen simply, by placing the chosen arm out to the side, to grab the object, in this case the bowling ball. Once you have positioned yourself with the lane, its just a simple lunge forward, and swing of the arm, just like you would do if you were bowling in reality. The pins fall down, collide and the most annoying of all, wobble, just like normal pins do in a lane. A strike is met with a nice snippet of well known music, flashing lights, crowds cheering, but most of all, a brilliant replay of your moment of glory. One of the best Main Events, and really shows off the power of the sensing of Kinect, Bowling will always compliment you with fun, when alone, or with friends. I believe Kinect Bowling is generally more fun and accurately presented then its main rival Wii Bowling. Although on the Wii, I believe that it is more accurate when trying to spin the ball, I also know that you can play Wii Bowling, when outside the room where your television is based, so not as much skill is needed. The Kinect Bowling has more accuracy with the body, involving your feet and body positioning as well.
Now enough about Bowling, as I go onto the Track and Field, another brilliant Main Event on Kinect Sports. Track and Field consists of five different small games, them being; 100m Sprint, 200m Hurdles, Long Jump, Discus and Javelin. I will concentrate mainly on two of these games, that contain all the skill needed for all the games. First of all, the simplest of these games, the 100m Sprint. A simple one this, just run on the spot, and watch, as your character sprints down the track, either leaping with joy at the end, or weeping in disappointment, depending on your result. Although it is quite that simple, there are a few hints that will give you the edge over your family and friends. As the starter calls 'set', a small crouch down, before you start, will give your avatar a super quick start, then its up to you to do the rest, until you get near the end, where another lean forward, will zoom you to the finish line, with exceptional speed, maybe even breaking the world record at the same time. Kinect takes a few things in to mind, when deciding how fast your running. Things like picking your knees up really high, will really help you in your journey to becoming world champion, and so will vast movement of your arms, in co-ordination with the legs. These two factors, will help you in the other three sports that also contain running, and when you want to gain maximum speed. Mastering this skill, will then help you in my next event, the Javelin. Another fairly simple event to do, but some techniques will work a lot more then others. Again it is a game where you have to grab the Javelin first, with your desired hand, by just grabbing it from the side. Then, with your chosen hand to the side, sprint, like before, as fast as you can, the faster you go, the faster that javelin goes. As you approach the 'foul line', the floor will turn orange, then green, as it hits green you need to throw that javelin hurling through the air, as fast as your little (or big in some cases) arms can make it. To throw, you simply throw an imaginary ball, or javelin if you wish in the air, and watch as your avatar, actually lets go of it, and it flies off into the distance, or lands right in front of your feet sometimes. On Javelin its all about finding your own tactic, to get that javelin to travel across the field as far as it can possibly go. The technology for the Javelin is brilliant, it really does take into account how you throw the javelin, what angle it is, what speed you throw your arm at. Javelin is a good sport to try on Kinect Sports, as you don't need to be mega strong, or mega fast to win, just to master the technique from practice.
So that's the 'Main Events' in a nutshell, probably the best section to play, whether your learning the basics, or if you're already a master, you can still reap the same rewards and fun from it. Playing by yourself, or with a party of friends and family, 'Main Events' will keep you entertained for a long period of time. But there are still other games, that I haven't discussed yet, that will test your skill even further, and make you try again, and again to break, not only the world record, but your personal records every time.
'Mini Games' another fun section of Kinect Sports, is packed with smaller games, where you have to break records, beat times, and try to survive against the meanest of computer opponents. 'Mini Games' is more suited to gamers playing by themselves, as you don't get to play at the same time as your opponents, but you can still compete against them, just you would have to take it in turns, in the 'play space' (the 'play space' is a phrase often used in Kinect games, it refers to the space you have to use, and the space you will play in). I will once again, discuss two of these 'Mini Games' that are well suited to the game, and in my opinion, are the most enjoyable, 'Super Saver', and 'Paddle Rush'. All games from the 'Mini Games' section, are taken from, and involve in some way, part of one of the 'Main Events'.
Super Saver, taken from the Main Event 'Football', puts you in the feet of a goalkeeper, having to save penalty after penalty. As you stand on the spot, in the middle of the goal, a football Will be kicked at the goal you are defending, and it is your job to save that from entering the goal, thus saving yourself a lost life. As the game progress' the saves get harder and harder, and you will find yourself jumping across your play space, to try and defend this ball, with any part of your body possible. On screen, a large indicator shows you where the football is going to go, and where you have to place any body part, preferably your hands, to successfully save the ball. You start with four lives, meaning only four balls are allowed to pass through your clutches until you lose, but can gain another life, every time you reach a multiple of twenty on your 'shots saved' record, so these being twenty, forty, sixty and so on. If this were to be played on such rival consoles as the Wii, or the PlayStation Move, the only body part able to save, would be your hands, but with Kinect, you can stretch out a leg, header forward, or even let it hit your torso, as Kinect will be monitoring all of your body throughout the game. 'Super Saver', an extremely addictive, yet surprisingly tiring Mini Game, a good one for when you're alone.
Paddle Rush, taken from the Main Event 'Ping Pong', gives you two paddles, to hit back a Ping Pong ball across the table, but in this Mini Game, it's not just one ball. As you yield both paddles, one in each hand, the computer player will continuously hit balls at you, slowly at first, then increasing with speed all the time. Your job is to hit as many back as possible, gaining a point for every ball hit back. On Paddle rush, you do not, unlike Super Saver' lose a life for letting a ball go past, but in this game, you have a time limit, and every time ten balls are returned, you gain an extra five valuable seconds, to keep hitting the balls. The game finishes once the time has completely run out. If there was a similar game to this, there maybe, on the Wii, or PlayStation Move, both Kinect's biggest rivals, I believe they would be equally as good in this game, as all that is needed is the hands, or controllers in the Wii and Move, so the responses would be the same, and no extra gain would come from Kinect's controller free motion sensor. Paddle Rush, is definitely a game to play when you're on your own, and can quickly bore you, but good to get in a few games and set records, especially if you want that all important gamer score.
So that's the 'Mini Games' in a shorter more precise nutshell. Best to usually be played by yourself, but can be addictive to beat your own personal record again and again. There is one last kind of game type, that brings a whole party of people together, in deep competition and involvement.
'Party Play', the last section of Kinect Sports that is available. Party Play solely concentrates on 1 Vs 1 games, against your family members or friends. Simple to set up, and encourages great competition between players, both playing, and just watching. You have to split up your group of friends or family, into two teams, who will compete against each other for the ultimate prize of victory and the bragging rights. Party Play, will randomly choose a game, as you have to pick one person from each team, to compete. Some games may include both players to be in the play space at the same time, or some, such as long jump, will ask for them to take it in turns. Players compete for victory in each event, gaining one hundred points for victory, but only a dismal fifty points for those who lose. Throughout the selection of games, the points for both teams will be added up, and given a grand total at the end, celebrating the winning character, along with their team. Party Play can be great to play with a group of friends, as it guarantees every player a go, and brings rivalry, that not many other games could bring. For a quick, exciting time, when with a large group, Party Play will be a great success.
So that's then Party Play, an event to be played with, and against, family and friends, encouraging rivalries and bragging between the players and teams.
That's pretty much all of Kinect Sports wrapped up, from Bowling to Running, Saving to Hitting and rivalries to friendship. Kinect Sports can keep you entertained for a long period of time, whether alone, or with a party, the fun never stops. The motion sensors work great on Kinect Sports, picking up every movement that is needed to excel at every game. Sports doesn't completely show off the motion sensors, and vast technology, but then neither does it need to, whereas some games, such as 'Your Shape Fitness Evolved', will even detect the movement of fingers, but as this isn't required in Sports, they decided not to include that, but concentrate, and give more time to the important features, which are brilliantly exampled in all of the games on Kinect Sports. I believe Kinect Sports is better then it's main rivals, being 'Wii Sports' and PlayStation Move's 'Sports Champions', for one particular reason. My main reason is that of the use of the whole body, something that neither the Wii, nor the Move can apply, due to the only motion sensoring, being with the controllers, and not the system censoring the actual body. I believe, aspecially in a Sports game, it is very important, to not only take into the context the arms, but the legs to, and what they have to do. Take the running events for example, I remember playing the Wii, and just sitting on my chair, whilst moving my arms really quick to run, obviously not replicating any reel running at all, but when I go on Kinect Sports, I have to be standing, and actually running on the spot, moving my legs, otherwise my Avatar would not move. This makes for a much greater experience whilst playing the game. However, in some cases, I believe the technology of the Wii and the Move, can work better at some points in each game, then Kinect's sensor. For games on Kinect, such as ping Pong, I believe that using a controller, included in the Wii and Move, would make the hitting of the ball more accurate, but this is only in a game where you would only need arms to play, and not the rest of the body, such as the legs. Generally, I believe the actual body censoring of the Kinect is better, and can provide a better experience, then any other console, or game. Kinect Sports, gets you the most involved out of any virtual sports game to have been released so far, due to all the factors that have been said during this review.
I hope that this Review has made you think of returning to Kinect Sports, buying Kinect Sports, or buying the whole bundle of the Kinect Sensor and Kinect Sports, as I can tell you from a first person experience, that it is definitely worth your hard earned cash. Kinect has it's downs, but mainly it's benefits to the player over it's competition.
Stay tuned with Top 10 Series, for more brilliant reviews on many games.

The I-love-you-forever love.
The Love-Hate kind of love.
The I-hate-you-the-most love.
*edit some parts here*
Someone who would always make me smile.
Someone who would always take care of me.
Someone who's excessively charming.
Someone who's willing to give me what I want.
Someone who can't get enough of me..
Someone who loves watching me sleep.
Someone who kisses me unexpectedly..
And of course, someone who's afraid of losing me…
…or better if it's Lee Minho himself. =))
Because it would be the best feeling in the world. Like Princess Dianna once said to Prince William, "Marry your best friend."
This is really what I want in the future (kung ikakasal man ako or whatever). Gusto kong sobrang ma-establish yung friendship to the point of yun nga, mag-bestfriend na kayo. Sabi nang iba pwede naman daw maging mag-best friend habang nasa relationship ka, pero hindi eh, para sa akin, iba pa rin.
Yung tipong you respect each other in every way. Tapos yung malimit kayong mag-asaran at magkulitan at mag-suplado't supladitahan pero kapag seryoso na yung usapan, seryoso kayong talaga. Yung kapag kahit sobrang magkaiba kayo ng opinyon eh nagagawa niyo paring i-open yung mind niyo sa sinasabi ng isa't isa.
Yung feeling na malimit lang kayo sweet pero andun palagi yung spark kapag magkasama kayong nagtatawanan at nag-uusap nang kung anu-anong bagay sa mundo. Yung bang hindi kayo conscious kung ano ba yung ayos niyo kapag may lakad kayong dalawa. Tapos yung feeling na hindi ka na-iinsecure kapag may nakikita kang tingin mo mas gwapo/maganda sayo kasi wala ka namang pakialam at all dahil nga magkasama kayo.
Yung lahat ng bagay nasasabi mo sa kanya. Kahit pa yung natatae ka na. Open kayong pag-usapan kahit yung malalaswang bagay pero hindi niyo binalak gawin kasi naniniwala kayong may tamang panahon para dito (at iyong panahon na 'yon ay yung pagkatapos kayong ikasal). Yung bang 'di na kayo nahihiya sa isa't isa, mapa-utot ka man dyan o mangulangot ka, oo, aasarin pero parang wala na lang rin after.
Yung alam na alam niyo na yung latay ng bituka ng isa't isa. Sa tingin pa lang, alam na, 'di na kailangang magsalita o sumenyas. Yung ramdam mo na agad kung masaya ba siya o malungkot. Kapag masaya siya, masaya ka na rin, kapag naman malungkot siya, alam mo na ang gagawin para mapawi yung sama ng loob niya.
Yung tipong ang babaw ng kaligayahan niyo. Lahat na lang ng pwedeng mapag-tripan, pagti-tripan. Yung wala namang lagi kayong regalo sa isa't isa tuwing monthsary, birthday, valentines, etc shit pero kapag nagbigay naman effort kung effort at hindi lang basta basta mahal na bibilhin.
Yung alam niyo naman yung weakness at negative side ng isa't isa, pero gagawa at gagawa kayo ng paraan para magbago for the betterment of your relationship, yung para maging deserving kayo for each other.
And lastly, God is in the center of your relationship. He's the force that keeps you close together.
Ewan ko ba kung bakit lumabas na naman lahat 'to. Pero 'yan, 'yan talaga ang gusto kong future relationship. Hhhhhmmmm, yeah, I want it to be perfect, sino bang ayaw? Sinabi ko nga sa sarili ko, only God knows my future, and it's up for me to discover.
Sa wakas after ilang days nang pagsa-snapshot ng episodes ng Heartstrings, paghahanap ng mga pictures at pagkakacrop at pag-eedit ng mga pics, natapos ko din at nagkaroon din ako ng araw time para i-post 'to. HAHAHAHA!
Unang-una hindi lang naman ako sa Heartstrings na-aamaze when it comes sa fashion, kasi kahit dun sa mga dati kong napanood na na korean drama, eh talagang bow na bow ako sa mga damit, sapatos at accessories nila. Well, Korean Fashion, as a whole, gustong-gusto ko talaga. O sige na, KOREAN CULTURE as a whole.
(Gustong-gusto ko din na ang ganda ng kutis at balat nila, batak na batak eh, parang walang pores! At ang puputi at ang kinis! Pero malamang mga artista 'tong nirerefer ko 'di ba. At malamang sa malamang din, artista yun so may proper grooming and shits sila. Pero kasi grabe naman sila magpahalaga sa kagandahan to the point of excessive make-up and sometimes, surgery. Pero ewan, pros and cons na lang din sa mga bagay-bagay. Ganun talaga siguro.)
So ito na ngaaaaaaa. Mahaba-haba 'tong post panigurado. Siguro iri-read more ko na lang? Bahala na. =))
Credits to the owners of other stills. I forgot to take note of the sites where I got them. But, please don't claim these pictures as yours. I snapshot and edited them myself one by one, so please observe proper crediting. I deserve some, don't I?^^
Happy pills. Wish I have supply of these.

Labor Day brings the closing of several theme park rides and shows
Written by Robert Niles
Plenty of theme park attractions will be closing at the end of today's Labor Day holiday, so go get your last rides in today, if you are so inclined.Tweet
The most closures will happen at Disney California Adventure in Anaheim, where the Maliboomer will make its last blast off today. Pizza Oom Mow Mow, S.S. Rustworthy and the Bountiful Valley Farmers Market also will close today, as Disney continues its billion-dollar-plus make-over of Disneyland's younger sibling.
In Central Florida, Katonga will be making its final show at Busch Gardens Tampa, to clear the way for the upcoming Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy show. And Star Tours at Disney's Hollywood Studios is slated to close with a special sold-out D23 fan club event tomorrow, making today your possible last chance to experience the original version of Disney's Star Wars ride in the United States. (The Disneyland version closed in July.)
Please pay your last respects to these attractions in the comments. (Or get in your last shot if you weren't a fan.)
Readers' Opinions
From Will Chilcote on September 6, 2010 at 12:16 PM
WOOT!!! A closing of Star Tours means Star Tours 2.0 is coming soon!!! I can't wait.
From Anthony J on September 6, 2010 at 2:20 PM
Good riddance to all.
From 220.127.116.11 on September 6, 2010 at 3:32 PM
Not really a big fan of Star Tours in it's current state. Queue is good and i love the look from outside. But I'm a Star Wars fan, so I hope 2.0 will be great. Hope they don't mess this up...

R.I.P Star Tours
From 184.108.40.206 on September 6, 2010 at 6:39 PM
The film and the themeing were great at Startours. Was the first simulator ride i ever saw as a 12 year old kid. Only the better imax simulators can top Startours.
From Anthony Murphy on September 6, 2010 at 8:11 PM
I actually like the Mailboomer and I am suprised they are not keeping it!
Many local parks are also closing during the week since many start school tomorrow!
From Rob P on September 7, 2010 at 12:19 AM
"To infinity and beyond" as Mr Lightyear might describe the passing of Star Tours.
It had it's moment in the sun and now it has to be retired due to old age and space fatigue. This once state-of-the-art simulator ride is going to that great galaxy in the sky. A sort of " attraction heaven" where the former glories can be relived eternally.
Anyway.........putting all that mush to one side..........Star Tours had , regrettably, outlived it's brief to thrill and entertain and was looking worn and tired. I , like many others out there, will mourn it's passing, sentimental souls that we are, but will also eagerly look forward to the updated incarnation.
This is "Au Revoir" and not " Goodbye".
From Joe Brown on September 7, 2010 at 11:00 AM
We are going to WDW in November and my 9YO is really ticked that Star Tours is closed. He actually said last week that he doesn't want to go now becasue of no Star Tours.
From 188.8.131.52 on September 7, 2010 at 12:52 PM
I'm sad that the Orignial Star Tours is closed, but I'm looking forward to the 2.0 version. We've made Star Tours a regular stop every time we go to DL. In fact my dad's company supplied some of the material for the themeing in the building so I've always felt a little tiny bit of connection with the attraction. the farmer's market at DCA waas also a regular stop when it was open to get some fruit or drinks. Since I'm involved in the agriculture industry I'm kind of sad to see that area go if only for the missed educational benefit for the city kids.
From 126.96.36.199 on September 7, 2010 at 1:37 PM
We rode the Maliboomer yesterday on its last day. The wait was over 20 minutes. They had only one tower operating; they had already dismantled most of the seats on the other two towers.
Today walls were supposed to go up all over DCA: the front entrance, portions of Paradise Pier, and over near Flik's Fun Fair to start demolition for the Cars Land entrance. We left last night so can't confirm how much went up today.
From Michael Grebo on September 9, 2010 at 1:06 AM
Im going to go off the path a little here and say old town in florida, it is a great place to unwind in a different way after a day at the regular orlando parks. You can grab a beer, do some karaoke, ride a ride and then walk through a haunted house. Is it the best place in the world no, but since you will most likely be traveling to disney anyway you might as well give this spot a shot. Also from what I remember the flying ride was the highest in the country, it is insane. This spot is what paradise island used to be but better in my opinion.

Bucket and spade time again, David is taking us all on a wee holiday to Dubai or is that goodbye
There doesn't appear to be a sentence that can correctly convey the crushing sense of disappointment that ended this afternoon's match. Manchester United had to settle for a share of the spoils with the Premier League's bottom club after Darren Bent's stoppage time equaliser gave Fulham a point. Not that Fulham played badly, of course; it's just that they were utterly dominated, coped with a league record of 81 crosses and scored with two out of their three opportunities. As indictments of the Moyes era go, this was perhaps the most damning so far.
Perhaps it's no surprise that the man charged with taking United's training sessions for the last five years before Sir Alex Ferguson's exit was able to plot such a course for his side, but Rene Meulensteen needed little tactical nous to escape Old Trafford with something to show for his efforts; just a penalty area full of committed players. From the off, United dominated possession and found themselves unable to make any serious advances on Maarten Stekelenburg's goal. Crosses were swatted away with worrying ease, with Fulham content to soak up the pressure in the face of such predictability. In that sense, Steve Sidwell's strike just before the first half's midway point shouldn't have been so surprising, but seeing Lewis Holtby's delightful ball evading both Juan Mata and Darren Fletcher so easily to allow Sidwell to touch home still proved deeply unsettling.
But, as has so often been the way of things this season, United continued to labour, seemingly undeterred. Robin Van Persie should have equalised shortly after having met Rafael's searching cross but blazed over from close range in a rare incisive moment. The crosses simply kept coming and coming, some over-hit, some under but most never reaching a red shirt in a dangerous position. It said much that Fulham should have doubled their advantage before the first half was over, and United were grateful for Kieran Richardson's mishit blast after the simplest of counter attacks.
Chances for the visitors dried up after the interval but they remained resolute in the face of United's incredible persistence to an unsuccessful tactic. If there had been any pattern of success present, or any aerial presence to trouble Dan Burn or John Heitinga, then perhaps such dispiriting repetition would have made sense. Yet with such creative players on the pitch, you could count the number of clear-cut chances created with one hand, Wayne Rooney drawing a one-handed reflex save from Stekelenburg after Mata's touch in a rare flourish.
Of course, when the breakthrough came from Robin Van Persie in the 78th minute, the relief was still tangible, the Dutchman touching in Mata's cross from close range. Michael Carrick's deflected strike two minutes later prompted an eruption of joy from Old Trafford, and wild scenes accompanied it. Yet nothing is as simple as that in this Moyes era, and such tight scorelines are simply ticking time bombs. The game entered five minutes of stoppage time with Fulham released from their shackles and leaving gaps that United were unable to expose, Van Persie chipping over with the visitors back-line suddenly disorganised. And, in a season that has seen Everton, Southampton, Sunderland and Swansea score late on, the full time whistle didn't come quick enough. Darren Bent tapped in David De Gea's wild parry from Richardson's shot, providing a stunning finale to another dispiriting afternoon's work.
Meulensteen spoke frankly of his old club's tactics after the match: "I thought the gameplan was quite straightforward – get it wide, get in in." Perhaps, if allowed to stay in the job, David Moyes will find a team that such repetitions are thoroughly effective against, but such adherence against a team that hadn't gained a single point against top-half opposition and one that United should clearly be beating cost them dearly today. The Scot looks out of his depth, and his charges look dispirited. Even during a season that many expected little from beyond a top four finish, Moyes is hurtling ever closer to a low that could cost him his job. Such ignominy, after being given a six-year contract, won't be down to bad luck, either.
We all knew that Nemanja Vidic's contract was due to expire in the summer of this year, 8 years after...

Care Home
India is home to the world's largest population of HIV orphans. Unfortunately, the number continues to rise. These children face staggering risks and typically die young or live on the streets. Naz India, working with HIV/AIDS since 1994, opened its arms to HIV+ orphans to create a Care Home in 2001 after a child was abandoned at our doorstep. The Care Home is founded on the belief that all children have a fundamental right to a loving, fun-filled childhood with access to health, education, and a safe, stigma-free environment.
Today, we run a thriving residential care home with
30 children
between the ages of five and 17 years. The children have come from across the country – from Maharashtra, Manipur, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Haryana, Jammu and Delhi, referred by child care institutions, orphanages, hospitals and NGOs. Naz India has given the children a lifetime commitment and provides for their educational, nutritional, medical, recreational as well as psychosocial needs.
The Home provides a holistic approach to the children's health and well being. It provides a safe, caring and stimulating environment for them and helps to give them the best possible start in life by providing love and support.
Nutrition is vital for people living with HIV, especially children. During the course of our intervention we have realized the need for providing balanced, nutritious diet for people living with HIV. It not only prevents the occurrence of opportunistic infections but also ensures that the asymptomatic stage of HIV infection is prolonged. At the Naz Care Home, the meals are planned with an emphasis on a well balanced diet, inclusive of vegetables, fruits, cereals and pulses.
All the children above the age of three years attend school. The Care Home takes care of school fees, books, uniform and transportation. Three tutors and volunteers work intensively with the children after school to help them with their homework and provide additional inputs.
The children have yoga classes thrice a week and attend dance lessons twice a week. They are taken for educational and recreational trips. We aim to provide avenues for personality development by conducting workshops and retreats/camps.
In 2009, the Naz Care Home was designated as one of the 10 Community Care Centre for Children (CCCC) by NACO.

St. LOUIS (KMOX) – Shortly before 4:00 a.m. a domestic dispute on St. Louis' south side, turned ugly and ended up with police and a SWAT team surrounding a home on Minnesota Avenue.
Police believed they had a hostage situation on their hands involving the young child of the female victim who was pistol whipped earlier.
When police finally entered the home, they found the youngster but the gunman apparently got out before the cops arrived.
St. Louis police are looking the suspect.

The BMW X5 was a real challenge for AC Schnitzer, and one which they accepted with enthusiasm. For the first time in the history of AC Schnitzer, test drives were carried out not only on the North Loop of the Nürburgring and on public roads, but also in the country with changing terrain, climbs and descents.
The result is an extensive accessory range which secures for the AC Schnitzer ACSX5 its firm place both in the fast lane and on a sandy track.
For the famous 3.0 Diesel engine we offer a performance kit, which increases the X5 3.0d to 156 kW (212 hp). With these figures the sprint from 0 - 100 km/h just takes 9,2 seconds and the maximum torque is reached at 460 Nm.
With or without engine tuning, the exhaust system with 2 sports rear silencers of V2A special steel ensures improved response and a deeper sound.
To improve the driving dynamics, complete AC Schnitzer sports suspensions are available which guarantee driving pleasure not only on country roads but also beyond the tarmac.
To complement the use of the suspension components, the AC Schnitzer wheel and tyre combinations were developed. As well as alloy wheels in 19", for the first time on the BMW X5 AC Schnitzer has crossed the magic boundary and has developed wheels in 20" and 22".
The aerodynamic range of high quality PU-Rim not only gives the X5 a more sporting appearance but also improves downforce substantially.
As most car drivers usually "only" see their own car from the inside, AC Schnitzer has also developed some unique components for the interior. As well as the carbon fibre interior trim and a 3-spoke sports airbag steering wheel, the interior of the BMW X5 is enhanced with an aluminium handbrake handle, gear knob and pedal set with matching foot rest.
