Seriously, WTF????????
There's always Lifetime.
Rick Santorum is going down. What a fucker!
people are stupid. don'ot count on people to be smart, especially when excercising their right to vote.
of course people eat this shit up. it's scary!
No, No, No! It's not the Health channel - our agenda is much too broad and deep for that.
The plan is to convert ABC from the American Broadcasting Company to the Abortion Broadcasting Company. And if you don't watch more than 14 hours a week, your taxes will go up, and at least one of your children will be recruited to the homosexual lifestyle.
Jeez, leave it to a Republican to get it all mixed up.
If they want to make this campaign about tv programming, bring it on.
Whew! Thank Allah that Rick didn't pick up on our "other" tv campaign...to turn HBO into the "Homosexual Boning Office" channel. A 24hr gay sex channel that will replace local cable access channels. It will also be broadcast in every public and private school.
Now I trust that all of you dems will keep this secret for us.
On the plus side, when they set up those homosexual-agenda recruiting booths in the malls, they're going to be FABulously decorated.
Religious conservatism is a mental illness.
The homosexual-agenda recruiting booths are already in operation, Fnarf. We've disguised them, though, as Abercrombie & Fitch outlets.
Hopefully no one told them about Skinemax,...
Oh, yeah and don't forget about the extensive changes planned for "Spike" - although I hear they're keeping the name, since it will now be more descriptive.
The Food Channel, of course, will be devoted to Feeder/Gainer porn.
Comedy Central: Blue Collar Comedy cancelled, replaced by Witty Urbanites Dissing Rubes.
HGTV: A new series on building your dream home dungeon/playroom.
Bravo: Bravo just gets to keep being Bravo.
The Constitution clearly guarantees prime time fetal snuff film for ALL!
The only people who are keen to watch abortions being performed are Christian conservatives, anyways.
Thanks, Dan, for putting me onto Feeder/Gainer porn. I wasn't, uh, hep to that scene until now. See? I've been recruited! Now I'm off to the store to buy some lard and ten cases of Mars Bars.
Santorum's lunacy is surpassed only by that of Katherine Harris (barely). How this medieval freak ever got elected in the first place is beyond me. If he gets beat by anything less than 20 points, I'm going to cry.
Fear! Fear! Fear!
Oh, wait, noone's scared of you Reds any more and your refusal to let America be strong and true to it's nature.
Real Americans refuse to live in Fear.
I dunno, but someone needs to tell Hillary to stop doing her Gallagher impression with a sledgehammer and pregnant women's stomachs before the GOP sees her.
Is this before or after the Coalition of Free* Peoples of Middle Earth draw the Eye of Al-Qaeda to the battle in Iragondor instead of the brave hobbitpublicans climbing Mount TerrorDoomFearScare?
*Free - some restrictions may apply. Void where prohibited.
Sanitorium (sic) needs to go away for a nice long hibernation.
If you are unaware, Santorum is a 15th level cleric of Jebus with a maximum charisma. He uses his magic powers to entice the masses. Its not medeival like SDA in SEA said, I would liken his followers more to a world of pure fantasy.
I hope they don't discover the plans for the terrorism reality show.
OMG, Joh, you just inspired this funny image of Foley doing his bloodninja impression on AIM with some page.

I have a blog up and running, but it's setup to be a registration only blog (either through WP or through the new Google Friend Connect). The problem is, my boss now wants a section that is open to anyone posting/commenting akin to a question/answer forum. I initially thought that I could make a category and put the initial post in for people to come in and ask their questions, but they would still have to be registered to do that.
I looked through the plugins to see if there was a "forum" plugin that would give this functionality but didn't find anything. Is there any way to do this within one WP installation or am I going to have to have a separate one? Or so I have to setup some other forum software just for that?

âRun, Goblin, Run!â Part 2 of 2
⢠How has the Hobgoblin evaded the Superior Spider-Man for so long? And does that hold the key to the Superior Spider-Manâs greatest success -- or greatest failure? Itâs the end of the line for Hobgoblin, and possibly an end for a big chapter in the history of Spider-Man.

I love this product because it has very powerful vibration and the soft bristles inside are much more enjoyable to me than the jelly ticklers that they usually make in these kind of toys.
Was this review helpful for you?
Ok Im going to be 100% honest here. I am a 38 C I dont know if maybe this product only works on very small breasts but it deff did not work on mine. It was a HUGE waste of money, it is deff way over priced and it shouldnt be sold period. The suction was horrible and it didnt suck onto my nipples for more than a second before falling off, I tried everything but nothing made it stay. I tried to see if it would at least suction onto my chest but nothing and the circles are so small you would have to have man nipples in order for this product to even come close to working well on you. I was extremley dissapointed and upset with the amount of money it cost to get a piece of junk. The only good thing I can say about this product is that the vibration is REALLY strong but whats the point if it doesnt suck onto the part of your body you need it to vibrate? and it dosent work on clits either so your better off just saving your money and buying a vibrator.

Twice now, I have gone to my wordpress install and found that it is throwing PHP errors. I only installed this on the 27th of april, and now on the 3rd day I'm having this happen for a second time.
My host assures me there was no activity on their server that could have corrupted these files.
All of the files in wp-includes appear to have new timestamps when this happens, but all other files on the server are fine. If I re-upload the original files form the release package, everything works again.
For now I have left it in error state at http://www.amykenny.ca in case you want to see the errors.
Is there anything within wp that could be trying to write info into these files? I'd suspect hacking except there have been no problems with any other fiels ever on my server, just this one directory over the last 2 days...

The Twins by The-5tory-TellerWatch
©2010-2016 The-5tory-Teller
Good work^^
I like it because its dark like me and i even have a twin...you kinda wonder:3
The idea is wonderful and there's something I really like about this. However, even when you view the full size, it seems so dark and blurry when you're trying to focus. Perhaps that's the point. Anyway, nice job
You may try viewing some of the others that are apart of this series when you view the artists comments. Blur and pixelation and darkness are key components that comprise this series. This is because the point of the series is to pull characters out of the darker recesses of my mind so clarity is the last factor to compose them.
And thank you! I'm glad you like it-- it's one of my favorites.

View Using Active Card View all races on one page
Formscan By Gary Carson - MIDNIGHT GAME should prove a class act here and it would be a surprise if he was turned over. He has to give weight away to his rivals here but is still best on ratings and comes into this in form. Willie Mullins' charge was impressive when beating a smart type in Staying Article on his return at Fairyhouse earlier this month and a repeat of that effort should see him claim this in similar style. Joxer has only 3lb to find on these terms and looks the main danger having produced a couple of decent efforts this season. His run at Down Royal when he chased home Monksland was particularly good. Gigginstown, owners of Midnight Game, also have Arnaud and Edeymi and while both showed a good level of ability as juveniles last season they failed to shine on their returns to action and need to improve.

The pros and cons of climate change
The debate over climate change—and its causes—is never-ending. But Iowa State University climatologist Gene Takle is a firm believer in climate change and he says it is having an impact on agriculture—both good and bad.
On the positive side, Takle says, are warmer springs, more humid summers and longer growing seasons.
"Plant breeders have attributed at least one bushel per acre per year yield increases to a better, more favorable climate. Our growing season is longer, we have more soil moisture so we can plant higher densities," Takle says.
But Takle says climate change has also produced more extreme and unpredictable weather—such as intense thunderstorms, especially in the spring. It has also created additional challenges for fighting pests and disease.
"Nights are more humid. It means that we have dew on crops longer-it comes earlier in the evening and lastslonger in the morning so that's more favorable conditions for pests and pathogens, molds, fungus, toxins and so on," he says.
Takle notes, over the last 30 years, moisture in the air in Iowa and across the region has increased 13 percent.
Takle says farmers are already adapting to climate change. The question, he says, is whether they'll be able to continue to adapt as more changes occur.
Radio Iowa contributed to this report.
1st we all know it has been getting warmer ever since the end of the last ice age and the glaciers retreated out of Missouri. Next, The CON is a PRO; blame it on cars and cows even though the ice age ended just fine without cars and cows, $$ to be made, millions off of the Y2K scam, etc… I've had it with all those left wing democrat nutjobs.
What happens when we all die, whats the pro's to that?
And we are trusting a guy named takle?

Andrew McBurney
Laughing Horse New Act of the year 2013 Finalist.
'Best Newcomer 2012' and 'Best Joke 2012' (West Midlands Comedy Forum)
Winner of Arc Gong Stockton, March 2013
Winner of 'Beat The Frog Manchester. January 2013
'Andrew McBurney is one of the most original and intelligent acts I've seen in a long time, and he's very, very funny' (Joe Lycett)
'His magnificently wretched stage persona gave his material an emotionally bedraggled edge. The concept of comedy as therapy is nothing new, but he appears on the verge of tears, desperately trying to hold it together, as he revealed he has just been dumped. That raw heartache defined what should have been material, giving every funny line a pathos-laden twist. We'll see more of him' (Steve Bennet, Chortle)..
Andrew McBurney tour dates
Harriet Dyer
Laughter Lounge Award winner Harriet is described by The Guardian as 'definitely one to watch'.
' She's got funny bones' (Kevin Bridges)
'Exploring the thin line between eccentric and the mental' is perfect comedy ground for Harriet Dyer, who seems to have lived her entire life on that interface. Her instinctively funny stand-up is packed full of weird and wonderful incidents from her strange life so far – yet however outlandish the tales, they all have an absolute ring of truth' (Steve Bennett, Chortle at the Leicester Comedy Festival)
'A bundle of whimsical hilarity… a breath of fresh air... will have you in stitches' (Broadway Baby)
'Dyer made the audience feel at home and managed to wow the crowd… Loveable and delightful' (Three Weeks).

Residents of Oamaru will soon be given details of how to take
part online in the New Zealand census on March 5.
Oamaru has been chosen by Statistics New Zealand to act as a
''special administrative area'' for the census, the first
since 2006, to test a way of streamlining the process for
The census was to have been held in 2011 but was postponed
because of the Christchurch earthquakes.
Statistics New Zealand strategy and development unit project
manager Phillippa Kidd said most residents would be expected
to take part solely online, but there would still be an
opportunity for those who wanted to fill in forms to do so.
''There will be parts of the very north of Oamaru that are
still under the old process, where a collector will be out on
the streets from February 16, delivering paper forms and
internet access codes,'' she said.
''But for most of Oamaru and the area out to Weston, down to
Thousand Acre Rd, fromFebruary 21, those people will start to
receive a letter in the mail that will have all the
information they need to go online and complete their census
Mrs Kidd said those residents who still wanted to fill in
paper forms would be given a contact number to call, to
request that forms be posted out.

Comedy Giants Contend For Emmys: Which Actors Will Bring Home The Win?The comedy categories in this year's prime time Emmy Awards are packed with major talent. From Lena Dunham to Bob Newhart, there are major stars vying for the top honors this year. Check out who might take home the Emmy - do you agree?
Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 4: 'Augustine'Augustine is the second movie in the past three years to deal with the long-discredited disease referred to as "female hysteria" – used as the go-to diagnosis for many mental and physical health problems suffered by women in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Movie Blog: 'Mansome' More Irksome Than ComelyWell now someone's gone and done it. They've made a documentary about the scene in The 40-Year-Old Virgin when Steve Carrell gets the hair yanked out of his chest to the accompanying screams of, "YeeeeAAAAAHHHHHH, Kelly Clarkson!"
Movie Blog: 'Apes' Human After All, Men InterchangeableRise of the Planet of the Apes is relentlessly ridiculous to the point where you wonder if apes were behind the camera in addition to being in front of it, but the movie is never less than totally entertaining summer escapism.
Movie Blog: Permanent Arrested DevelopmentPointing out the disparity between a finely crafted drama which excels in every conceivable level one could expect from great movies and two formulaic summertime cash-grabs bereft of originality, nuance and (more to the point) entertainment value is probably unfair. So be it.

Mr. Larry Hayden has informed the BBB of an ongoing operation targeting consumers seeking to sell their timeshare. This operation has taken on various forms. Previously, timeshare owners nationwide were being solicited via telephone by persons falsely representing themselves as being from Vacation Realty International. These callers were feigning employment with Vacation Realty International, directing consumers to the Vacation Realty International/Timeshare Resales Worldwide BBB report at www.Alltimeshare.com and subsequently collecting non-refundable upfront fees ($1500- $2100). The callers were corresponding with consumers via email sent from email@example.com. As of late October, timeshare owners are now being contacted by a company purporting to be Timeshare Resales Worldwide. This company is cold calling consumers in order to elicit business from them. This company is also sending out a fraudulent contract using Timeshare Resales Worldwide's business name, logo and website. The following contact information was provided to these timeshare owners: Phone: 770-347-7681 and 760-560-3884 Toll Free: 855-816-9497 Email: email@example.com The BBB is encouraging anyone who is contacted by a "representative" claiming affiliation with VRI, Vacation Resales International, or Timeshare Resales Worldwide to contact Mr. Larry Hayden directly via email firstname.lastname@example.com, and include copies of any paperwork received, prior to providing any form of payment to the caller. Canadian citizens are now being targeted to send money via Moneygram to the upfront fee perpetrator, specifically Occidental resort owners. The imposters are now using the name "Larry Hayden" in order to solicit money from unsuspecting consumers. Per Mr. Hayden, the scams have been discovered to originate from the Dominican Republic, and consumers should refer to the following websites to seek assistance in recovering funds: http://santodomingo.usembassy.gov/fpu-e.html http://www.fbi.gov/contact-us

Where are the Women?
A bolt of randomness or something more sinister? That's the question asked by NYT Supreme Court reporter Linda Greenhouse in her article today on the sudden drop in female Supreme Court clerks.
According to Greenhouse, just under 50 percent of new law school graduates in 2005 were women. Yet women account for only 7 of the 37 law clerkships for the new term, the first time the number has been in the single digits since 1994. Last year at this time, there were 14 female clerks, a number which went up to 16 over the course of the term.
Justices David Souter and Stephen Breyer suggested that the drop reflected a random variation in the applicant pool. Some speculated that Justice Antonin Scalia, who hired only two women among 28 law clerks during the last seven years and who will have none this year, could not find enough conservative women to meet his test of ideological purity.
A Volokh Conspiracy post that went up in July elicited a number of comments on the question, including the relative scarcity of female students among the top editors of the leading law schools' law reviews an important preclerkship credential and the absence of women among the "feeder judges," the dozen or so federal appeals court judges who, year in and year out, offer a reliable pipeline to the Supreme Court for their own favored law clerks. The Legal Times's Tony Mauro also touched on the topic back in May.
Law Blog readers, give us your own take on the subject. Is it randomness or are other factors working against women?

2011 Mazda 3 s Sport 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6M)
I purchased a 2011 Mazda3 seven months ago, and have 21,000 miles. My local Mazda dealer has changed the oil every 5,000 miles using 5W20F oil. Every oil change the level has been a quart low. At the 10,000 mile change I ask the service manager to check the level before the oil was drained, he did and confirmed it to be a qt. low. At the 15,000 mile changed they again checked the oil and confirmed it to be a qt. low, and that we had an issue. At 20,000 miles they again said it was low but that was acceptable for my engine. The service manager just called me and said he has it in writing that 1 qt./1500 miles is acceptable for my car and I should be very pleased my car does as well as it is.
I bought a 2007 3s in 09 and loved it until I traded in and got my 2011 3s 2.5 with a 6 speed.This car is awesome it is fun to drive very quick and has good top end speed too.it is very well laid out both inside and out as well especially that dual exhaust.
engine sound, 6 speed, BT
I was caught between buying a Honda Civic, VW Jetta or the Mazda3. The Civic lacked substance.. it was simple, not sporty, lacked knobs and features. The VW fell in the same category as the Civic, it was just blah. Dont get me wrong, they are great cars, but their design lacks a statement. It's just another car parked at the grocery store. The Mazda3 has great design, modern and a nice body kit. The interior feels solid and luxurious. Some people like the the front grill and others dont. In all honesty, if you dont sport a turbo charger, a big block engine or some NA performance engine, you dont need to have an aggressive front grill. The Mazda3 is a fun car and should be smiling! Enjoy!
6 speed manual and clutch.
Responsive suspension and handling.
Exterior design.
Upscale instrument cluster.
Dual exhaust.
Seat could be designed to support a bit wider folks.
Seats should be able to sit lower. Sometimes I feel like I'm sitting too high in the car even though I've adjusted the seat all the way down.
Auto off/on headlights should be standard.
Allow quick tap turn signals instead of having to hold down the turn signal.
This is my first brand new car and after a year of researching cars I couldn't help but go with the Mazda. I owned a '90 MX-6 that had 261k on it when I sold it. This car gets compliments at gas stations and in drive-thru's. The gauge cluster invites you into a cockpit that tells you this car wants driven. Handling is world class, power is peppy, and people are amazed when I tell them I have the 6 spd Manual. Love love this car.
Bluetooth (so nice while trying to drive 6 spd). 6 spd trans. Gauge cluster. Sliding armrest. The liquid metallic silver color. Huge compliments on it's appearance.
None I can think of, well maybe for a different oil dipstick. You literally can not read the thing. Your better off to just replace the oil and go by the manufacturer specs for oil capacity.

A fascinating camel safari tour in Jaisalmer
Jaisalmer the oasis city of Rajasthan is a fascinating city in itself. It is located in the middle of the desert and hence is a major tourist attraction in itself. When you visit Jaisalmer, one of the most attractive activities that you can do in the city is to go for a desert safari in the Thar Desert.
There are several desert camps that are located on the border of the Sam sand dunes which again lies on the outskirts of the Jaisalmer City. You can plan for a budget stay at one of the numerous desert camps available on the Sam sand dunes border and take a desert safari package.
Explore the beauty of Thar Desert in Jaisalmer
India is such a country that its landscape is as vivid as one's imagination. There are mountains and seas, streams and Desert everything under the map of single country. Thar Desert is one such example of a beautiful piece of landscape within the realms of the Indian Boundary. Located on the western parts of the royal state of Rajasthan, it is a beautiful tourist attraction too. Millions of tourists from different parts of the country and the world visit Jaisalmer and Rajasthan to take a peep into the wonderfully diverse life of the Desert. If you too want to seek pleasures of life in the Great Indian Desert, you simply cannot miss staying at a great desert camp and go for a camel safari within the remote areas of the Thar Desert.
Desert Camping in Jaisalmer
The gateway to the Thar Desert from Jaisalmer is through the Sam sand dunes. There are numerous good desert camp sites in the border of the Sam sand dunes. You can always choose a good budget desert camp like Rajputana Desert Camp or The Serai as per your budget and convenience. In my view Rajputana Desert Camp is the best tent in sam to stay as it offer many outdoor activities like quad bike race, paragliding etc.So either you can choose Rajputana resort in jaisalmer sand dunes or search sites like Tripadvisor for more
There are also many other desert camps that you can choose to stay put in. Usually most of the Desert Camps have in their package a desert safari either on the camel back or on a jeep. You can choose your safari conveyance as per your convenience.
If you are not very courageous and would want to have a safe and secured holiday with your family, you can choose the Jeep safari. However if you are a little adventurous, you should ideally choose the Camel Safari as a bumpy ride on the camel will definitely bring with it some grand memories that will last you a life time.
Going on a Camel Safari in Jaisalmer
Riding on a camel back can be a lot of fun if you have not done it before. However if you have any back aches or other physical problems, it is best avoided as it can give you more pain physically. However, riding on a camel for a quick peep into the life of the desert people can also give you some valuable insights about the life style of the desert people of Rajasthan.
Some interesting little known facts abour places & culture of Rajasthan
Rajasthan truly is a colorful and vibrant state of India. If you have been to Rajasthan and have not noticed some of the interesting little facts about the state, here is your chance to learn more about them in this article.
Color coordinated cities of Rajasthan
There are many cities in Rajasthan that are truly color coordinated. Now that's truly an interesting thing to notice isn't it? For instance, Jaipur is Pink and thus is known as the Pink City of India. Similarly Jodhpur is colored blue and is also known as the Blue City.
Udaipur, the city of Lakes is also known as the White city because of the majority in white colored buildings. Jaisalmer is truly known as the Golden city, not only because of the Golden Jaisalmer Fort but also because most of the buildings within the city realms are golden in color.
Plus I will suggest you all to hire a Rajasthan tour operator and book some holiday package like Jaipur Agra tour package or udaipur sightseeing tour package to explore the above cities of Rajasthan.
Some other interesting places of visit in Rajasthan
Not many people are courageous enough to visit the Bhangarh Fort which is abandoned and said to be haunted by spirits. You can also take a sneak peak at the Kuldhara Village which was abandoned almost overnight and remains so till date. Visit the Vijay Stambh which is in Chittorgarh and is believed to be the home of A Bao A Qu. One of the deepest and largest well of India also lies in Rajasthan at the Chand Baori Abhaneri.
If you want to experience the luxury at its best, you should travel to Rajasthan and experience the journey on the Palace on Wheels and the Royal Rajasthan on Wheels.
Educational Hub of Rajasthan
Not many people know that a small city in Rajasthan, Kota is also the educational hub of India. While most travelers focus their interests on the tourist destinations of Rajasthan like Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Jodhpur, Udaipur etc, not many people know that Kota attracts thousands of students from different parts of the country for providing higher education in all subjects.
Wild life sanctuaries in Rajasthan
If you are an animal lover and love exploring the wild, you should ideally know about the Sita Mata wildlife sanctuary in Rajasthan. Located in the district of Pratapgarh in Rajasthan, it is named after the consort of Lord Rama after the epic Ramayana. As per the legends, Sita, wife of Lord Rama returned to the womb of Earth in the mountains within this sanctuary. Here lies a mountain that still stands in two splits to this day to bear the mark of Sita's exit within the realms of Mother Earth. Beneath the mountain foot, lies a small temple with a very small idol of Sita. It is believed that there is a cave beneath the platform on which the idol is placed. That cave is believed to lead towards the middle of the Earth where Sita is laying in rest.
Apart from the legends and the temple, you can also spot several wild animals in the sanctuary, one of the most notable species of wildlife is the Flying Squirrel.
Must visit attractions at New Delhi for travelers
New Delhi is now comes in the list of top 25 cities to visit in India. And though 25 may be a big number but one must remember that India is a country with multiple culture, languages and attractions.
So today's post is shared by Mr Bose from Pitrashish group who offer more then 60 rooms in their three mid budget hotels in Karol Bagh near to Delhi Sarai Rohilla railway station. So lets discuss these 4 amazing attraction which attract travelers from 4 corners of the world.
1. Chandni Chowk
Chandni Chowk is one of the best places to shop with your family and friends. The densely populated market began more than three centuries ago. Some of the early visitors to this destination included merchants from China, Turkey and Holland.
Whether you want to buy curios or souvenirs, Chandni Chowk will rarely disappoint. At Dariba Kalan market, you can shop for pearls, gold as well as silver jewelry. Began in 1819, Gulab Singh Johri Mal manufactures and exports natural perfumes to different parts of the globe. If you love spices, then you should tour Khari Baoli. For Zari and Zardozi tinsel and trimmings check with Kinari Bazaar.
2. Lodi Gardens
Located in New Delhi, Lodi Gardens spread over 90 acres of land. The gardens contain Bara Gumbad, Shisha Gumbad, tomb of Sikandar Lodi and Mohammed Shah's tomb.
Formally known as Lady Wellington Park, the destination boasts of well-maintained jogging trails as well as extensive garden surrounding that offer plenty of space where you can wander with some of the friends over the weekend. The monuments at Lodi Gardens make it an ideal destination to tour with your kids during the holiday.
3. India Gate
Constructed to pay tribute to fallen Indian and British soldiers, India Gate is yet another destination that will make your holiday memorable. Measuring over 5kms, Rajpath road is among the few things that will make to fall in love with India Gate.
Located opposite the gate, Rashtrapati Bhavan is also a great place to spend time with your spouse. While at the gate, you can also access Aksharadham Temple. His Royal Highness, the Duke of Connaught laid the foundation of the 42m Gate in 1921 making one of the greatest place that anyone who loves history should tour even ones.
4. Bahai (Lotus) temple
The all faith home of worship has its location near Nehru, Delhi. The shape of the temple resembles a blooming lotus with leaves. The building has beautiful pools designed to represent the lotus leaves. The structure comprises of twenty-seven marble pearls that form a circular shape.
The well-manicured lawns surrounding the temple add on its beauty. You do not have to worry about transport because we have a number of companies that can help you reach at this point. Thousands of people from all over the world keep visiting this garden throughout the year. Next time you visit India; do not come back until you take a trip to Bahai (Lotus) temple.
Explore the royal Rajasthan on a fascinating tour
Rajasthan is not only the royal state of India; it is also one of the vibrant and colorful places in the country. The state is renowned for being a heritage place that too with an extremely rich culture and traditional background. That is why, Rajasthan is also nick named as the "Land of the Kings". Millions of tourists visit Rajasthan every year to explore and visit the mystic leftover charm of the royalties of the past.
The Pink City Jaipur
Jaipur is the capital city of Rajasthan and is also the largest city of the state. It is extremely well planned and follows the Vastu Shastra model in its design. It is truly a flamboyant city of India with vibrant people, colorful markets, stunning temples and magnificent building structures. When you plan a trip to the beautiful city of Jaipur, do not forget to keep the Amber Fort, Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar, and City Palace etc in your travel itinerary.
One can enjoy a sightseeing tour of Jaipur in a car, bus or a luxury vehicle. So we would suggest to either hire a car from a local Jaipur car rental service or bus rental in Jaipur which is cheaper if you are traveling in a group of 20 plus people.
The Lake City Udaipur
Udaipur is fondly known as the most romantic city of India. It is surrounded by the lush greenery of the Aravalli Mountains and with several lakes. That is why, Udaipur is also known as the city of lakes. Udaipur is home to three interconnected lakes which make for a stunning view of the azure waters all around. The lakes that make Udaipur famous around the world are Fateh Sagard Lake, Swaroop Sagar Lake and the world famous Lake Pichhola. Some other interesting tourist attractions of the city include the Durbar Hall, the City Palace, Jag Mandir, Lake Palace, Sahelio ki Bari etc.
The Royal City Jodhpur
The royal city of Jodhpur was founded by Rao Jodha. It is the second largest city of Rajasthan and is also fondly known as the Sun City since it is blessed with a sunny and bright weather all throughout the year. Jodhpur is also one of the gateways to the Great Indian Desert Thar. One of the most popular and interesting places of visit is Jodhpur is of course the mighty and the magnificent Mehrangarh Fort. The city of Jodhpur too is divided into two parts while the new city is bigger and most of the modern facilities are available, the old city of Jodhpur has boundary walls all around the city. Apart from the mystical Mehrangarh Fort, there is a lot to see and explore in Jodhpur like Umaid Bhavan Palace, Kaylana Lake, Gangaur, Jaswant Thada, Balsamand Lake, Ghanta Ghar etc.
The Golden City Jaisalmer
Jaisalmer stands tall as a desert city of Rajasthan because of its magnificent Jaisalmer Fort which is made with stunning yellow sand stones. It is also the gateway to the Thar Desert as the Sam sand dunes are just on the outskirts of the Jaisalmer city centre. People from different parts of the world visit Rajasthan and Jaisalmer to simply soak in the feel and looks of the desert life of India. When you visit Jaisalmer, apart from the regular sightseeing, do not miss the camel safari in the desert.

The Christmas Mega-Blog! Part Two - Majora's Mask
By dankempster 4 Comments
The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask: Discovering Gaming GreatnessI never owned a Nintendo home console before the GameCube, so before that my only exposure to the Legend of Zelda series was a fleeting few minutes with a friend's copy of Oracle of Ages. Since then I think I've played, if not completed, pretty much every instalment in the franchise, from the original right through to Twilight Princess and Phantom Hourglass. Up until recently, there was one exception - Link's second Nintendo 64 outing, Majora's Mask. I played Ocarina of Time three or four years ago on GameCube after getting hold of the special edition of Wind Waker with the OoT bonus disc. I know people say it doesn't hold up, but it really did blow me away. Perhaps it's because I'm part of the Final Fantasy VII generation, but I found myself able to look past the game's shortcomings and appreciate just how revolutionary it was. It remains my favourite of the 3D Zeldas, although for how much longer I can't honestly say. I'm only around halfway through the main quest of Majora's Mask, but it's such a refreshing take on the Zelda formula that I can't help but be sucked into the experience.
Everybody no doubt already knows the plot behind it so I won't get bogged down in explaining it in detail. The gist is, you play as Link (the same Link from Ocarina of Time), who finds himself in the strange land of Termina. Termina's going to be crushed by the falling moon in three days, and it's up to Link to prevent that from happening. The plot may not quite have the epic scale or labyrinthine twists of modern adventure titles, but it sure makes a difference from saving the damn princess. That was the first thing that set Majora's Mask in a league of its own for me - the fact that it completely goes against Zelda tradition in terms of its plot. It shows that a good Zelda game doesn't have to stick to the formula to be successful. It's a shame the developers seem to have forgotten that, because the recent instalments in the series have stuck to the formula so rigidly that it's often been detrimental to the games themselves. It's nice to see a game shaking it up and being different, and this isn't restricted to the plot. It's evident in the gameplay too.
Given the three-day time limit Link's on, the game relies on a very well-implemented time mechanic to enable him to get everything done. Time-travel was used in Ocarina of Time to create a dual world-style mechanic - you could either play as Young Link in the present, or Adult Link in the future. In Majora's Mask, because the cycle runs on a three-day loop, time travel and manipulation becomes much more important. You effectively have three game days to complete any given task, and when the 72-hour cycle ends, you use the Ocarina of Time to travel back to the first day, at which point the loop starts all over again. Where this system really shines is in the execution of side-quests. Everybody in the world of Termina has their own schedule, along with their own problems to be solved and needs to be met. With the help of the Bombers' Notebook, which stores all relevant schedule information, the player has to learn to manage their time effectively in order to complete certain tasks. I'd only ever seen a time management system like this in games like Harvest Moon before, so to see it work so effectively in Majora's Mask is a pleasant surprise. It effectively provides the freedom of an open-world game, where you can jump in and out of the main quest as you see fit and take things at your own pace, without actually being a true open-world game itself.
Perhaps my favourite thing about Majora's Mask, though, is the use of masks as a gameplay mechanic. While a lot of the masks in the game are little more than novelty items obtained from (or necessary for) certain side quests, the ones that actually change Link's physical appearance add an incredible amount to the game. The different guises he can assume under the magic of the masks each bring with them a unique moveset and a different approach to playing. For example, in situations where Link might usually have to resort to using bombs, Goron Link can get by with the power of his melee attacks. Goron Link can't come into contact with water, but Zora Link is at his most effective when submerged. The effects these different masks have on the way you play the game makes for some great puzzles and truely memorable boss battles (here's looking at you, Snowhead Temple!).
In summary, I'm loving Majora's Mask because it does pretty much everything that I've been wishing a Zelda game would do ever since I finished Twilight Princess. It ditches the tried-and-tested set-up in favour of something much darker and certainly more interesting. The new gameplay mechanics fit in well with the ones established in Ocarina of Time, and provide a fresh take on the series without completely abandoning its roots. If Twilight Princess gets its own Majora's Mask, then it'll be the best thing to happen to the series since... Well, Majora's Mask, I guess. Thanks very much for reading and Merry Christmas. Stay tuned for part three of my Christmas mega-blog, a pondering look at storytelling in videogames, which should be coming in a few hours' time.

MM: Yahiro Matsuzawa by VolatileDinnersWatch
©2012-2016 VolatileDinners
My oc for MM rp group So sorry for absolutely butchering English language >.< (not a native English speaker here) Also warning to all interested: Teen Drama Ahead!!!
Full Name: Yahiro Matsuzawa (八宏 松沢)
Age: 20
Height and Weight: 6'3" (193 cm), 205.03 lbs.
Gender: Male
Year Level: Third year
Weapon: Shield (Self-made from scraps and unused parts from work)
Arcana: Strength
Arcana Rank: Rank 1
Suit: Swords
Nationality: Japanese
-Metal sculpting
-Electronic music (favorites: Daft Punk, Pendulum, Dumme Jungs, Glitch Mob)
-His hoodie
-Anything done by Joe Mad Madureira
-Whoever or whatever it was that killed Yumi and anything related to the case.
Term Gentle Giant is probably closest to describe his personality. Because of his rather intimidating and grumpy appearance people are often surprised when Yahiro gets a reference, jokes, shows concern about someone, makes conversation. He never dismisses anyone interested in his person and bluntly speaks about his past if asked.
He usually keeps himself on the side but, if presented with an opportunity for an interesting exchange or a friendly tease, he'll go for it.
Yahiro's stoic and calmer then Buddha himself even though he wears his angry grimace most of the time. That sometimes bites him in the ass. Because of all this bottled up stress and terrible experience in the past, he overly obsesses over even smallest hint leading the unknown assailant.
-Great physical strength
-Skilled metalworker
-Good with all kinds of blue collar jobs (especially welding)
-When fighting in group he tries to fill the role of The Tank
-Not very agile
-Obsession to find Yumi's killer.
-Has problems with more delicate work (mostly housekeeping)
-Little concern for his own well-being
-Bottles up stress
-He has a lot of trouble with remembering names
==>Click Here For Expanded Version<==
Short version:
Yahiro led a very average and relatively happy life in Kirimori City. That is, until he started first year of high school and met a short, fragile girl with fiery red hair named Yumi. Bond between those two was truly something special, and they knew it. However their happy days were suddenly interrupted by Yumi's hospitalization because of her weak heart.
With Yumi's health dwindling along with her family funds, Yahiro decides to help. He takes a lot of dangerous part-time jobs. In most of them he was employed illegally due to his young age. However that is not enough and at the beginning of third year he drops out as well to earn more money for Yumi even with everyone disproving of such drastic measures.
Almost two years pass and things are finally starting to look better. Yumi finally can leave the hospital bed for short walks.
During one of those strolls, fate decided to play a number on them. Yahiro leaves her side just for a moment. When suddenly he is beckoned back by her scream. When he returns Yumi is already on the ground and the unknown assailant is nowhere to be found. Stress of the sudden attack coursed a cardiac arrest and even though Yahiro did all he could, Yumi passed away.
To fully recover from trauma and to finish his education, Yahiro is sent to Higashimori.
-Manual labor, night shifts and stress took toll on his health and appearance.
-Still works at construction sites as welder. He says that it helps him keep his mind at ease.
-Scar on his face was caused by almost fatal accident during one oh his jobs. A metal cable snapped and whipped him across his face. Few more inches and he'd be decapitated.
-He made his own shield.
-Be it summer or winter, the hoodie stays.
-Clings to anything that reminds him of Yumi, even his evoker is her phone.
-Favorite quote: "Beware the fury of a patient man." - John Dryden
-Tropes: Gentle Giant, Berserk Button, True Man Wear Pink, Not Evil, Just Misunderstood
Hey there. I like your character. With his gentle giant despite his scary appearance, and quest to avenge his friend Yumi.
whoa....such a cool concept!!! Awesome!!!
Truly gorgeous.
What a hardcore giant.

Our Top Ten Girls' Night Movie Picks
(IF YOU'VE WATCHED THEM, REWATCH! THEY'RE WORTH IT.)PS: This ranking is in no particular order, aside from number 1.
The Princess Diaries Series (2001 and 2004)Starring: Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews
An ordinary girl finds out she's actually a princess. COME FREAKING ON. THIS IS THE DREAM. Every girl who has ever wrapped their blanket around them like a gown and worn a fake tiara on their head can relate. This is basically a universal story, the secret dream and ardent hope all little girls harbor came true when this movie was made. Also, it features Anne Hathaway before all that Oscars fame got to her head and we can all agree now that that's the best Anne Hathaway of all. Also, more dramatic makeovers:
The Devil Wears Prada (2006)Starring: Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt
What exactly does an awesome girly movie need? Meryl Streep? Check. Awesome costume changes including but not restricted to Coat Porn? Check. A grand, dramatic makeover scene? Check. A pre-Oscars, pre-Les Miserables, pre-pretentious Anne Hathaway? Check. (What's up with Anne Hathaway and makeovers, huh?) Anyway, my point is, this movie is missing nothing. Because it's awesome and that's why it's on our top ten list!
And if you have a problem with that...
Bring It On (2000)Starring: Kirsten Dunst, Eliza Dushku and Gabrielle Union
One word: Cheerleaders' cat fight! Okay that's three words, I know, we all make mistakes. Anyway, cheerleading, stolen routines, flirting, rival schools, a whole lot of bitchery makes this the perfect fun, girly, guilty-pleasure movie for a cosy girls' night!
Plus, it's always fun to see someone defy expectations...
Legally Blonde Series (2001 and 2003)Starring: Reese Witherspoon, Selma Blair, Luke Wilson and Matthew Davis
Speaking of defying expectations, Legally Blonde is all about that. Young, rich, spoilt and very blonde Elle Woods makes an application to Harvard Law School and somehow manages to get in. Initially bright-eyed and enthusiastic, her classmates mock her and regard her as a typical dumb blonde but... as in every girly movie, she gets up and proves them wrong while wearing some very pink and very pretty outfits in the process.

10 Things I Hate About You (1999)Starring: Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles and Joseph Gordon-Levitt
This is a completely feel good rom-com until you remember Heath Ledger's tragic death a few years ago. Well, let us all remember how versatile Heath Ledger was as an actor. When he wasn't scaring the beejesus out of us as Joker, he was the lovable and extremely hot Patrick Verona with his magnificent head of hair. Also: Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Pitch Perfect (2012)Starring: Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Anna Camp, Brittany Snow and Skylar Astin
This is for those girls whose girls' nights have a loooot of singing. This movie lets you belt out all of your favorite jams and throws in a few old school ones to satisfy your pre-millenium music needs. Also, Fat Amy. She's reason enough.
This clip...
Is also reason enough. I'm telling this movie gets it. WE ALL SING BETTER IN THE BATHROOM.
Sisterhood of The Travelling Pants Series (2005 and 2008)Starring: Blake Lively, America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn
For those who love a heartwarming tale of friendship between wildly different characters, this series really hits it home. Sure, the second movie wasn't all that awesome but the first movie alone is enough to push this series onto our list. A tale of love, life, travel and uhm... pants, four girls who couldn't be more different stand by each other as they go through the trials and tribulations of youth. It's a sweet coming-of-age film and who can really argue with premise huh? Plus, in the second movie there's Jesse Williams...
Doing that. Nuff' said.
Crazy, Stupid Love (2011)Starring: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Steve Carrell and Julianne Moore
I could go on and on about how funny this movie is, how great the cast is, how cute Emma Stone is in it but considering how well received that last gif was... I'm just gonna leave this here...
Credits: http://piketcadisi.tumblr.com
What can I say? I'm lazy.
Clueless (1995)Starring: Alicia Silverstone, Brittany Murphy, Stacey Dash and Paul Rudd
Okay this one is lil' bit vintage but it's amazing, especially for girls' night. Clueless was adapted from a Jane Austen novel Emma. It's completely taken out of its original Victorian-era context and interpreted into high school in America circa 1990s. Young, rich, pretty girls, cute, dorky boys and a whole bunch of misunderstandings in between. What's not to like? Also, as someone who's read the original work and watched Clueless, the original lead character is a lot less annoying in the movie than the book. Furthermore, super adorable 1995 getups are reason enough to serve this on the next girls' night movie menu.
And the top spot goes to...
Mean Girls (2004)Starring: Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried, Lacey Chabert and Tina Fey
We all knew this was coming, didn't we? You'll probably egg me if I didn't include this given that this year marks the tenth year anniversary of arguably the best movie to ever depict a high school girl clique – the beautiful work of art Mean Girls. Aside from that tidbit, this movie is possibly one of the most hilarious high school films ever made and that's no surprise since it's scripted by the brilliantly funny Tina Fey as an almost parody of high school popular cliques. It also features Amanda Seyfried before she was an A-lister and Lindsay Lohan before she became a D-lister, funny how life works huh? Aside from all those reasons, Mean Girls educational value alone is enough to make it the top of our list for girls' night.
For example, it taught us about feminism...
It taught us about race...
It taught us about sex...
And most importantly it taught us about female friendship...
There's really only one thing to be said about Mean Girls...

I logged on to LIVE today to check out what the new avatar gear was and i was excited to see it was American History, in liue of our nation's b-day coming up. What suprised me, however, was the fact that the only Civil War uniform available was a Confederate one. Now, i understand it was part of our history and plenty of people have some sort of misguided loyalty to the Confederates and a hope that the "south will rise again," but i would have figured Xbox would hide these feelings till the actual war broke out. I'm also a little shocked that Xbox is pro-confederacy b/c they are based in Washington state. Can't get much more north then that. Albeit, i don't think that state was around during the war. At bare minimum a Union uniform ought to be added.

A certain magic happens as the beef and aromatic vegetables slowly cook down with wine, tomato paste, and broth.
Leave a Review
I'd been craving a traditional ragu, and this was it! I don't understand other complaints of it being bland, unless it wasn't salted enough (it's "to taste") or unless it didn't simmer down long enough. I used chicken stock, and substituted ground pork for the veal and it was completely savory and delicious with egg noodles. I also cut cooking time in half through more aggressive simmering -- I was hungry and it was getting late. But it worked and nothing suffered at all. Was considering adding it to my list of dishes for entertaining.
I love making this recipe. I've made it a few times and I make a couple changes. I add reconstituted dried porcini mushrooms and the soaking liquid, and a few cloves of garlic also when I added the onion. I also add some good quality dried Italian herbs, and today when I made it I had no dry red wine so I used Marsala wine. I also added a bit of crushed tomato so it would look more like "typical" tomato sauce so my eight year old would eat it. I also did not add the milk, as I felt that it would be too much liquid. Was fantastic. Oh and added a few bay leaves.
I agree with many others, it is very bland. It lot of work and time for not enough flavor. Almost sweeT.
Actually did not think this recipe was worth it. Was a bit too greasy for me. While it did taste better the second day, I would try a different recipe first before trying to perfect this one. The only change I made was used all ground beef vs. the mixture of veal / pork / beef.
Great dish; both my husband and young granddaughter loved it. Easily tweaked if one wants to, but I liked it just as recipe is written.
After living and studying in Italy, this is the closest recipe I have found to what I would eat in the Emilia-Romagna region. This is full of flavor and tastes better the longer you cook the sauce.
Loved it! I used ground turkey instead of veal. I did add a head of chopped garlic after the onions were sauteed. I also pureed the carrots and celery and added them along with the wine. Finally, I added 1/2 tsp ea of oregano, thyme, and cinnamon. It was awesome!
Cannot imagine how other reviewers thought this was bland. Family loved it and will make again and again.
This was the first time making a Bolognese (Ragu) sauce without using a jar and have to say it was a great, full flavoured outcome for a first attempt. I have read some of the other reviews and think some people are just a little fussy and unfair with their comments. What this recipe provides is a good basis for a Ragu that can be adjusted to suit everyone's taste. Next time I will try eg a different brand of beef stock or tomato paste to play around and tinker with it, but out of the box it was really enjoyable.
Not bland at all! I just made it for the first time, and I think this will be the bolognese recipe I go back to...I've made it many times, with other recipes, but the pancetta and the lack of chunky tomatoes (just tomato paste) makes this great.

"What To Talk About When There's Nothing to Say," from the authors of Content Rules
How do you create content when you don't have breaking news to share regularly? If you want to remain relevant, you need to find a way to converse much more frequently than when you have big news. Consider these 10 approaches:
- Chat with customers.
Ask customers a single question, such as "What's your biggest marketing challenge?" or "What's a strategy you used to grow your business this year?"
- Interview luminaries.
Q & A interviews with thought leaders, strategic partners, or flat-out interesting creative thinkers make for compelling text, audio, or video content.
- Share real-time photos.
Upload photos from industry events, meetups, or other gatherings. Fresh content matters here, and the faster you can get your photos up, the more likely they will be shared.
- Monitor search keywords.
What keywords are people using to find your blog or website? Those keywords can inform your content stories and suggest new opportunities based on what customers are already interested in.
- Trawl industry news.
Share an opinion about a recent news story that's affecting your industry or audience. Be timely; you could benefit from the extra boost of being one of the first to comment on the topic.
- Go behind the scenes.
Show things that your readers or followers don't usually get to see. Share photos that give an insider's view of your company, or tease some new, compelling content, product or event that you'll be launching soon.
- Go to an event.
Take session notes, conduct interviews, or take photos. Real-time blog or tweet the sessions that offer value to your community, and share with your audience what you learned, enjoyed, or were surprised at.
- Share best practices or productivity tips.
People are always looking for efficiencies, and this type of content is always highly useful and shareable.
- Invite guest posts.
Give your readers or employees or an expert in the industry the chance to guest post for your blog. Don't limit yourself to written content.
- Create a regular content series.
A themed series is a great way to help you create regular content. Pick a day of the week and post the same type of content on that day.

Content Rules is compelling and honest from the introduction on. It is a book I can hand my clients, friends, teachers- almost anyone who wonders why people need to or bother creating content for the web- to help not only explain why compelling content is important, but how to create it. It helps people break down the barriers that often get in the way of creating compelling content, and instead gives them some parameters on how to make sure your authentic and compelling voice shine through. In addition, the examples and case studies in the book bring the rules to life, in a way that will help folks understand how to find their human voice, and why that is so important to success in contrast to another paragraph of over-polished, sanitized, personality-free "safe" messaging.
I'm really excited by Content Rules as a book I can enthusiastically pass on to friends, colleagues, clients and more. If it's between a more generic book on social media or online marketing and this one, you need Content Rules because it will help you understand the fundamental approach you need to take regardless of the tool, platform, network or marketing plan- you need to concentrate on your Content first.
However, perhaps it's essential to fully understand why most businesses tend to create poor content. In fact, much of the business communication that's being produced today clearly doesn't meet the needs of its intended target customer. To the vast majority of marketers, the task of creating content is still centered upon explaining what their product or service does.
In contrast, great content -- from the customer's point of view -- should provide meaningful and substantive insight or guidance about what products and service will do for them. As I concluded reading this book, it occurred to me that the authors had not made this point in the most compelling way. I was somewhat disappointed.
That said, Ann Hadley and C.C. Chapman have written a very comprehensive guide about how to develop a content marketing strategy and construct interesting information for your intended recipient -- utilizing a variety of digital media in the process.
Chapter 6, "Share or Solve; Don't Shill" is -- by far -- the most useful section of this helpful guide. It shares the six characteristics of a good idea or a story. What's missing, in my opinion, are examples of how companies typically fail to incorporate these basic principles.
Why is this explanation needed?Read more ›
This year, I picked Content Rules even before reading it, because I love the title concept and I know one of the authors, Ann Handley, from when I used to write articles for ClickZ (back in the day, as they say).
Content Rules is a relentlessly upbeat guide to developing content for the Internet. The authors not only stress that "content is king" online; it's also queen, jack, ace, and most of the rest of the deck. Content Rules will show you how to find content in every corner of your organization, package it in every conceivable format, and syndicate it throughout the universe. Pretty impressive.
The Theory
The authors begin by laying out 11 "content rules," then expanding those in the following nine chapters. This is the "theory" portion of the book; as theory goes, it's very easily digested. The authors stick to the conversational tone they advocate in Rule #4: Speak Human:
"It's not just about getting more traffic; it's about getting more traffic that gives a s**t." The authors quote social media consultant Jay Baer. That's human enough for me.
Highlights in the theory section of the book include:
1) Creating a content publishing schedule, especially the checklist for things to do each month on page 60. It's a good template by itself for an online marketing game plan.Read more ›

World War on AIDS -- at Last
June 25, 2001 -- At last the world is facing up to its 20-year-old AIDS crisis. Whether it is a case of "better late than never" or "too little too late" remains to be seen.
Beginning today, the United Nations will formally take up the issue of AIDS. After three days of deliberations -- which follow months of behind-the-scenes wrangling -- the General Assembly will vote on a "Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS" that will dictate the world's response to the worldwide epidemic. It marks the first time world governments have met to plot a single, global response to a health threat.
"It is a bit late, but it is a historic moment," says Peter Piot, director of the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). "It marks the final stage of the transformation in understanding AIDS from a medical curiosity to a problem that touches the economic and social security of the entire world."
How big is the problem? Some 36 million people are living with HIV -- 5.3 million of them infected just last year -- and 21.8 million people already are dead. A UNAIDS map of the world shows that AIDS rates are rising fast in nearly all of Asia, Eastern Europe, the Caribbean, and sub-Saharan Africa. Growth is slow in the U.S., Australia, Brazil, Argentina, and Western Europe due to the impact of anti-HIV drugs. Only two nations, Thailand and Uganda, have shrinking AIDS prevalence -- and both face a resurgence of the epidemic without continued effort.
Solving the problem won't be easy -- or cheap. A UNAIDS analysis of the problem, published in the journal Science, says effective AIDS prevention and treatment will cost $3.2 billion next year and ramp up to $9.2 billion each year by 2005. And these are conservative estimates.
"Spending on the battle against AIDS in the developing world needs to rise to roughly five times its present level," says United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who opened the conference by calling for the creation of a "Global AIDS and Health Fund" to be operational by the end of this year.
