home-cooked hospitality in egypt
Nothing beats a home-cooked meal, but especially when that feast is accompanied by music, dance and new friendships in a Nubian family home. Intrepid's Sameh Tawfik knows what's on the menu, so he can't wait to get his group to dinner for this special night in Egypt…
"Plodding along on our camels, it seems like an eternity to reach the small Nubian village, nestled between the sand dunes. As we walk through the streets towards the house we have been invited to for dinner, I try not to hurry but my stomach is urging me forward. We are welcomed inside and my group is invited to see where our hosts are cooking our meal. I try not to be impatient as I wait for the food to be served.
what's your delish local dish?
In February we called all Foodies and Food-ettes to let us know the best local dishes that they discovered on their travels. The competition to WIN a trip from the Intrepid Delicious Discoveries digital brochure has now closed and after spending days in the kitchen testing recipes and reading about your scrumptious journeys, our judges have reached a verdict… Congratulations Donna Mackereth, your Cinque Terre pesto is a winner!
Thanks so much to everyone for sharing your own Delicious Discoveries – it was a very tough decision to choose just one winner! We are going to keep this blog post live so that you can enjoy trying all the recipes at home and we shall be publishing many of them over time in separate blog posts so that they will be easy to find under the 'recipe' theme.
india's sweet side
In India you are never far from a colourful mithai (sweets) vendor and if you scan the bottom shelf, below the silver-coated pink and green concoctions of ghee, nuts, milk and sugar, you will undoubtedly spot a large bowl bobbing with gulab jamun, a local favourite.
These donut-like balls are saturated in a warm rose syrup. So divine that it runs in rivulets down your hand and arm when you pick one out of the serving bag and attempt to gobble it up in haste. They are a staple dessert in most parts of India, and what better way to remember your sweet India experiences than by enjoying your own mithai fix at home…
feel-good food in vietnam
Enjoying a delicious local meal is one thing, but knowing that where you have chosen to dine also makes a real difference to disadvantaged youth gives you even greater satisfaction. Many Intrepid travellers know the dining delights of KOTO in Hanoi and now Ho Chi Minh City. KOTO was established in 1999 to support deserving young people and Helen Cunningham explains why it's one of her most memorable meals whilst on holiday in Asia…
"If you're a people person, then some of the best travelling discoveries you can make come from meeting the locals at your holiday destination. For a down to earth, realistic and sometimes colourful experience, I thoroughly enjoy the knowledge, company and stories that the locals are willing to share. Having travelled through many Asian countries, I love to get away from the regular, most visited tourist spots and sample local cuisine, culture and art, and in return the locals are excited to share their lifestyle with me.
hankering for the flavours of hong kong
Hong Kong is where western and oriental worlds collide. You can see this exciting fusion in everyday lifestyles, in local transport and especially in its cuisine. Intrepid's Frank Lee is based in Beijing, but he always jumps at the chance to visit Hong Kong for a foodie fix…
"Just like so many Intrepid travellers, I love holidaying in Hong Kong because the food is so fantastic. The selection of local delicacies is overwhelming and best of all, the street food is really tasty, fresh, affordable and easy to find. Here are some of my favourite eating experiences that reflect the unique culture and flavours of Hong Kong…
a moroccan tajine to remember
From learning the secrets of cooking perfect couscous, to enjoying a tranquil picnic in mountain gorges, Carlie Smith discovered why the aromatic flavours of Morocco will infuse your memories for years to come….
"Everything about Morocco was amazing – the sights, the smells, the people. However, the one thing that really stood out to me, and still does, was the amazing food experienced along the way. From something as simple as harissa and fresh dates eaten with the locals in the main square of Marrakech, to exotic tajines, with their incredible mix of savoury and sweet, cooked in the most wonderful earthen pots – just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
dave and deb love eating local
Dave Bouskill and Debra Corbeil (a.k.a The Planet D) have a very healthy obsession with food, especially when it comes to travelling global and eating local…
"Travel without trying new food is like Angelina and Brad flying without a brood of children in tow, it just isn't right. That is why tasting delectable dishes during our journeys is the most important part of our day! During breakfast we always discuss what we're having for lunch and during lunch we always discuss where we should eat for dinner. It's the most fun we have when travelling.
a melaka christmas holiday to remember
Taking a trip over Christmas can be a wonderful way to discover how the festive season is celebrated around the world. In Malaysia, while the food might be different, it's a delicious feast for the senses and Sandra Jones won't forget her special Intrepid-style Christmas holiday to Malaysia…
"Early in the afternoon we arrived at our hotel in Melaka, and it was quickly decided that we should all go out to celebrate Christmas with lunch. We left it up to Carol, our group leader, to decide where and she organised a wonderful meal at a local restaurant that served traditional Nonya Baba cuisine.
feast on japanese tradition
Ask Intrepid's Chotie Moloney to recall her most favourite traditional feast and it's sure to be this amazing banquet in Japan…
"We were in the Alps township of Takayama for the summer fireworks festival when our local ryokan chef prepared an evening banquet for us. What a treat! After dressing in yukatas and indoor slippers, we entered the private dining room with a great sense of excitement. A long low table was already laid out with 8 place settings for our Intrepid group. It took a little time to settle in a comfortable position with satin cushions on the tatami floor, but I managed to cross my legs without pointing my feet at anyone and was ready to feast.
delizioso cheese spread in italy
Travel is about seeing, feeling, touching and most importantly, tasting! And where better to get culinary advice from a local than in Italy. Lea Barlow took time out to find out this traditional recipe and the result is a favourite and easy dish she enjoys making at home…
"This is not exactly a recipe. In Italy we stopped for lunch at a great little restaurant. They served their great crusty bread with a dish of spread that we all fell in love with. We asked about it and how to make it and discovered that it was very simple.

It was the purpose of my lectures to the Academy to show that art in Christianity can rise higher than in paganism, since Christian ideas are more sublime than pagan ones, and the best that the art of Greece and Rome has produced is, to my mind, also contained in Christian ideas … and I maintain that there are more suitable artistic subjects to be found in the Old and New testaments than in pagan mythology. (Bindman, 31)The contents of his lectures show Flaxman to have had extensive knowledge of the history of his medium, and his interest in strange new subject matter paralleled the enthusiasms of more radical art students on the continent such as the group known as les Primitifs in the studio of David. Nevertheless, as a retiring man who had little commercial success in the last twenty years of his life Flaxman was wary of promoting his remarkable ideas. As professor of the London academy I have also given lectures on art history but I do not dare, like Fuseli, Opie and Reynolds, to appear before the public with them (Bindman, 31). In fact, Flaxman's lectures were published posthumously in 1829 with a number of lithographic illustrations after the artist's original drawings showing primitive figures and Egyptian, antique, and Gothic sculpture. His analysis of the sculpture on the west front of Wells Cathedral demonstrates his sensitivity to earlier styles, just as his enthusiasm for the early Christian art remained with him while he was imbibing classical Renaissance influences in Italy. His friendship with W. Y. Ottley continued throughout his life: when Ottley published one of the first English studies of early Renaissance artA series of plates engraved after paintings and sculptures of the most eminent masters of the early Florentine school (1826)he dedicated it to Flaxman. In the same year, on 7 December, the sculptor died in London. He was interred, as he wished, not in St Paul's Cathedral but in St Pancras cemetery.

Hey, I'm Elsa!
We are from Brooklyn, NY but I am originally from Chicago. I grew up in the Wicker Park area. I still have family in Chicago so we go back home about once or twice a year.
We have a 2.75 year old daughter & a 10 month old daughter.
We love the city life. We love great restaurants, great movies & a relaxed atmosphere.
Our kids are great too, we are teaching them to be respectful of others & their things. Our 2.5 year old has a lot of energy (as to be expected) but we are always out exploring new things to help her grow & learn.
We are looking for a place that is home base when we are visiting Chicago. Some place safe and clean where my kids can sleep. Most of the time we are out to eat, but a nice kitchen would be great too.

Argentina's keepers show dislike for technology
Vito, why go all the way to Argentina?
Even our very own John Motson, BBC Sports commentator, is publicly against the introducution of video technology into football pitch. There are many others too who are against it in these shores.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Jimmy, Argentina or England, doesn't matter; just showing that opinion is divided globally. Personally, I can't make up my mind either. I can see the argument from both sides. There are legitimate points on either side.
As for your question to the other poster, I would advise you not to pander to the simpleton/pack-mentality exhibited by most here. They like patting each other on the backs and deluding themselves rather than engaging in intelligent conversation and debate. They do not realize that their attitude of avoiding any discussion unrelated to Spurs is the very same reason their club and national teams are abysmal. One needs to expand one's horizons by looking outward and learning rather than be content living as a 'frog in the well' (that does not know about the world beyond).

If in2 needed any pointers to what you are about Vito your last post surely provided it. Thinking and writing that anybody who dislikes you is a "frog in a well" is completely in character - arrogant, condescending and pathetic.
We dislike you because despite our original request for you to stop posting articles that have nothing to do with Spurs in a polite way, and then in a not so polite way, you have chosen to carry on. That does not mean we are ill educated, not Wordly wise or not very well travelled. Only someone such as you would think that.
in2 you were warned. On the other hand you could be fooled by Vito and think he is a poor misunderstood, reasonable chap who is inviting you to be in his more intelligent gang. A bit of research looking at a variety of other boards would quickly establish you would be in a gang easily capable of holding any meetings in that well that Vito likes so much.

Presents a framework for three-dimensional model-based tracking. Graphical rendering technology is combined with constrained active contour tracking to create a robust wire-frame tracking system. It operates in real time at video frame rate (25 Hz) on standard hardware. It is based on an internal CAD model of the object to be tracked which is rendered using a binary space partition tree to perform hidden line removal. A Lie group formalism is used to cast the motion computation problem into simple geometric terms so that tracking becomes a simple optimization problem solved by means of iterative reweighted least squares. A visual servoing system constructed using this framework is presented together with results showing the accuracy of the tracker. The paper then describes how this tracking system has been extended to provide a general framework for tracking in complex configurations. The adjoint representation of the group is used to transform measurements into common coordinate frames. The constraints are then imposed by means of Lagrange multipliers. Results from a number of experiments performed using this framework are presented and discussed

Hi, valuable plugin, thank you!
I just used it to back up a new site I'm building.
[1] On the dashboard, it says my database is 725k. I hit "run now" to back it up. The resulting backup is 111k.
I'm wondering if this is right? Is it highly compressed? Or just backs up some part of the whole database? (Newbie!)
[2] I had been under the impression this plugin would back up images, posts, pages, plugins and media as well.... doesn't seem to do that. I must have misunderstood.

On my OS X typing /usr/bin/python in to terminal runs Python 2.6.1, but typing python runs Python 2.7.2. I'd like the former to run 2.7.2 as well - how do I do this?
The version in /usr/bin/python is the version installed as part of OS X. Type 'which python' to find out where your newer python version is located. You've probably installed a newer version via MacPorts or the like.
It might be dangerous to change where /usr/bin/python points to in case it is needed by other apps. You can change your python scripts so that they find the user's version of python by changing the first line from:
If you really want to replace /usr/bin/python, you can do it like this:
However, like I said, that might be dangerous. If you need to revert this change later you can run:
Please run these with care though. If you accidentally remove your system installed python version on OS X there will be some pain involved in getting it back.
It seems the
The file itself seems to be pointing to (Reference 1):
In this folder you should be able to find the latest installed 2.x or 3.x versions with symbolic link folder named Current/, where Current/ will point to the latest installed version.
Note, all the Python version that you have ever installed are placed in (Reference 2):
In my case I had to remove 2.5 folder from 'Reference 1' and upload 2.7 from 'Reference 2'. Then I removed the 'Current' link and created a new one pointing to 2.7/ folder (ln -s 2.7/ Current). [I am not sure, the same might be needed for the other folder]
Now, when typing python --version you should see python version pointing to the latest Current/ link that you created, in my case it was Version 2.7.
I hope this helped, it worked here.

I chose the Cairns Beach House because it was really cheap and I usually don't mind if there are minor flaws. This hostel, however, made me cringe more than once. Neither the air con nor the fan in my half of the 10 bed dorm worked and the bathroom was in an unbelievable condition! On the wall next to the bed you could find plenty of spiderwebs.
The wifi works well though and they had a pick-up servce from the bus station.

It is evident that hysterectomy alone seldom cures this condition. As, for instance, in 12 of 15 cases in which the more radical operation has been done, the growth was found to have extended beyond the uterus, as has been mentioned in this paper. In the Johns Hopkins Hospital there have been 63 vaginal hysterectomies, with 5 deaths; 26 combined abdominal and vaginal hysterectomies, with 5 deaths, and 67 abdominal hysterectomies, with 16 deaths. The comparison of the percentage of cures and also the primary mortality in these three classes of cases is of no value, for the abdominal or combined abdominal and vaginal operation has in many instances been used instead of the vaginal operation, because the growth was too far advanced for the vaginal route. It can never be hoped that the abdominal operation will be attended with as low a primary mortality as the vaginal; on the other hand, by the vaginal route the wide excision of the parametrium and pelvic lymph nodes is impossible.

Btw tiger thanks for thinking of me, and good chapter. It is by far my faviorte
I know this music isn't appropriate for a bar fight but I feel like it was appropriate for Joe's stance on not trying to get a drink no matter what and the inevitalbe police arrival.
You just had to thank Murphy's Law for happening to Joe and it's going to get worse from here if you plan on writing it that way for Joe's predicament. ^^
AW Joe, not AWE Joe.
Awe = adoration
I had the time of my life reading this

And for the up side, who cares that it doesn't make sense, that's what makes sotries awesome and awe-inspiring, who cares that in real life an M134 Gatling gun is impractical to carry around through a jungle, hell we all watched Ventura do it and it was fucking awesome, "I ain't got time to bleed" BZZZZZZ, kills like 8 guys with this ridiculously huge gun
It may a barroom instead of a ballroom...but it's close enough.
You should have used this song, It would 75% more awesome!
>>18763631876363 Funny enough the U.S. Military did fiddle around with the idea of a man portable electric Gatling gun for a while, but nothing ever came of it. Impractical in real life but awesome in fiction!

Countess Vaughn Is Engaged!
Congratulations are in order for actress Countess Vaughn, who early this morning (Marc. 26) shared that she's engaged!
The former Moesha and The Parkers starlet broke the nuptial news via Instagram, posting a candid shot of her man down on bended knee and her absolutely living in the moment — smiles and all. "He asked to marry me….and I said yes.." she captioned it.
While the information on who this beau is slim to none, from Vaughn's previously posted photos that day, it looks like the couple attended a prom themed party as they were dressed to the nines in proper tux, gown, and corsage attire. And, she may have already known that he was going to pop the big question, as she captioned one of the photos: "I'm thankful and blessed…love you guys…it's a big night for me…loving my makeup…feeling 18 again."
Back in 2002, Vaughn got married Joseph James, who she has two children with, and divorced in 2005. In the past, she's kept pretty quiet about dating and her love life, but it's great to see her getting a second shot at love.
Congratulations to the happy couple!

Countess Vaughn Writes Open Letter To Brandy On Instagram: "I Apologize For Anything Negative I've Ever Done"
With the year coming to a close and many prepping their resolutions or goals to becoming a better them, actress Countess Vaughn, too, had some baggage to purge of before entering 2016.
The 37-year-old actress known for her roles in The Parker's and Moesha, wrote an open letter on Saturday (Dec. 19). The topic, you may ask? Brandy, her former Moesha co-star. It's been no secret that for two decades the two haven't seen eye-to-eye. The issues were brought to public attention in VIBE's April 1998 issue when Brandy shared that her and Vaughn were actually not the close friends that the fictional characters they played who assume:
"I think she's very funny, very talented. I just feel like she wants to be in the position I'm in. People tell her, 'You're the reason why the show's successful.' And she's told me that before. And she's called me a b***h–to my face. She said, 'I'm the reason why the show is successful, b***h.' In front of a lot of people. And I looked at her like, Wow. I couldn't say nothing about her because I wasn't about to. She knows. She wakes up and looks at herself in the mirror and gets disgusted. I don't."
17 years later, Vaughn is apologizing for her actions and seeking to start a fresh relationship – that doesn't necessarily mean friendship, but cordialness at the least– with Brandy.
"At the end of the day I had to learn in find myself why not be friends when we're both talented, Why call you names when your [sic] just an amazing person," Vaughn wrote."I apologize for anything Negative I've ever done are said to you ….sorry this had to be on social media , I just want the world to see that I've grown out of my comfort zone ….. Hopefully one day I can tell you in person or on the phone to let you know I mean everything I've wrote …."
Shortly after Vaughn posted the letter, Brandy responded saying, "I would love to start a new friendship with you with new heads on both of our shoulders. It will also be great to work together again. Without you, Moesha would not have lasted as long as it did."
Read Vaughn's full open letter below and Brandy's reply.
@4everbrandy I'm proud of you. For placing one foot in front of the other. For waking up every morning and simply giving it your best shot. for placing a premium on personal growth too. We been threw are ups and downs , high and lows … But at the end of the day I had to learn in find myself why not be friends when we're both talented, Why call you names when your just an amazing person… I'm proud of you for being you and working to rise to the best you inside of you.You are an amazing being with amazing God-given capacity. I believe in who you are and who you are working to be. We are all works-in-progress. One of life's purposes is to improve on the wiring under the hood of our lives. I believe in your ability to stand and courageously be the person you were meant to be. Im not perfect , no where near it..I care about your life and your happiness. I wouldn't do what I did if I didn't. I care about you as a person. We are spiritual siblings, you and I. I know this to be true. And it means a lot to me… I apologize for anything Negative I've ever done are said to you ….sorry this had to be on social media , I just want the world to see that I've grown out of my comfort zone ….. Hopefully one day I can tell you in person or on the phone to let you know I mean everything I've wrote …..I didn't do this for applause, because we all know that some people don't believe celebrities to be "human", but this came from a very human place. No matter how or if she respond know that the Universe will continue to bring me growth and happiness because that is what im putting out there…😘😘😘Congratulations on every thing you've accomplished… Love you beautiful ….happy holidays from Countess 😘😘😘😘

Countess Vaughn Shows Off Her New Body: "I've Been Working Out And Taking Care Of Me"
Ever so often, discussions surrounding Countess Vaughn's body resurface on social media. Whether it's talk of her racy Instagram photos or her decision to go under the knife, people always seem to have something snarky or negative to say about the actress. The naysayers never really appear to lower Vaughn's confidence though. In fact, it seems that their comments do just the opposite. The "Hollywood Divas" star is known for boasting about the love she has for herself and recently, she took that self-love a step further by making strides to improve her health.
With the help of liposuction, Vaughn was able to shed three dress sizes, but instead of simply using the procedure for instant gratification, she decided to adjust her eating habits and practice portion control.
"I watch what I eat, and I'm into snacking now," said Vaughn, who, according to People, didn't see significant progress after the procedure due to thyroid issues. "I used to just eat maybe once or twice [a day] – breakfast and then dinner, maybe skip lunch. But now I try to snack, have some nuts, have some yogurt."
The mother and wife also admits that she had to lay off of one of her favorite foods: fried chicken.
"There are still times that I want it, but I have to watch it," says the former Moesha star. "Instead of getting three pieces, I'll have one piece and walk away."
In addition to getting her eating in check, the 37-year-old has also incorporated exercise into her weekly routine.
"I've been working out and taking care of me so I can have energy for my kids and work," she said. "I put my music on, and I just walk for 30 to 45 minutes. I'm very appreciative now that my body is responding to the workouts and the diet, so I just have to keep on moving."
In other Countess Vaughn news, the actress seemed to imply that she had something going on with "Moesha" co-star Ray J way back in the day.
"You Haven't Done Anything Since Moesha" Watch The Hollywood Divas Season 2 Trailer
The ladies of "Hollywood Divas," veteran actresses Golden Brooks, Paula Jai Parker, Countess Vaughn, and Elise Neal and newbie Lisa Wu are coming back to TV One.
And from the looks of the trailer, they're keeping up with the drama both within the group of ladies and people on the outside.
The ladies take a trip to Jamaica and seem to be bonding. But in the midst of the turn up, Paula Jai Parker's husband, Forest claims that he owns the ladies' project "The White Sisters," though they were all producers of it.
And Forest isn't just beefing with the ladies. He and Paula also seem to be having some issues, including tension between him and her mother.
Inside the group, Golden Brooks throws some shade at Shar Jackson, pointing out the fact that she hasn't worked since "Moesha."
But it's not all doom and gloom. Countess is working with Erica Campbell's husband Warryn to work on a song.
Golden is dating and from the looks of things, someone might be getting married.
Take a look at the trailer in the video below.
"It's Crazy Because People Like Kim Kardashian—She's A Mother:" Countess Vaughn Responds To Body Critics Who Took Issue With Her Racy Photo
Earlier this week, we told you that "Hollywood Divas" star Countess Vaughn came under fire for some racy Instagram photos that she posted to show off her weight loss progress. One photo in particular, in which the actress poses in a top and thong, received the most attention. Apparently, fans found it to be inappropriate. We were recently able to catch up with Countess, who says that she's not really fazed by her critics.
MN: You received quite a bit of negative attention after you posted a pretty intimate photo of yourself on Instagram.
I don't mind. I don't care. Just like I stated on there, it's just self-love. I can understand that people don't like it. It's okay. I know everybody doesn't love me and I can deal with that. That's just the nature of people. People are going to react however they want to react and I embrace it—whether it's good or bad. So you know, I know what's up. I don't trip about it because at the end of the day, it's about me loving on me and understanding that this is where I'm at right now and I feel beautiful. If that bothers somebody then I'm sorry it does, but this is where I'm at. I'm about self-love. You can state how you feel about it.
MN: Of course, people tend to take things to extremes. What do you say to those people?
Don't try to hurt me, now. When it gets to the point when you say you want to meet me out in the streets and hurt me over a picture, well that's not what I'm about. It's self-love. I love myself.
MN: Why do you think people were so openly critical?
It's crazy because people like Kim Kardashian—she's a mother—she can go and show a picture with no problem, but I guess it was just too much booty, honey. Some cheeks they can't handle and I guess mine was doing too much. It's okay, I'm standing up for those girls who look like me. They want to see themselves so, at the end of the day, that's what I'm all about. There's a market for girls who look just like me and that's who I'm entertaining and that's that. There's nothing wrong with us loving our bodies. It doesn't start at size 8. You don't get down to a size 8 and say, 'Okay, I can love me now.' You have got to love yourself wherever you're at.
MN: Did you lose some of the weight naturally, or was it primarily from the procedures you had done?
On the show I went through the process of getting work done. If you watch the show 'Hollywood Divas' you will see that I had work done. I wasn't secretive about it. I wasn't one of those people who said you know, 'Yeah, I worked out and I did this and I did that.' I was very straight up and said that I wanted a mommy makeover. This isn't for everybody. I understand that, but you know, after the second baby it's a little harder. I just needed a jumpstart.
MN: Was reality TV what you expected it to be?
Yeah, you basically know what you're getting into and you have a responsibility to prove to yourself. People are watching you, so if it's coming out of your mouth and you are saying it, then it's on your heart. You have to really be in tune with that. It's a big responsibility of what your personality is. If you are a mean person, that's what's going to come out. If you are laid back, that's going to come out too. People will get that real idea of who you are.
MN: Will you be returning to "Hollywood Divas" next season?
Definitely. I have some other projects as well.
MN: Can you tell us about any of them?
I'm not the type of person who puts things out there. I don't want to jinx it. I like for you to see me come out there and see what I do next.
"This Is Unnecessary": Countess Vaughn Shows Off Weight Loss, And A Lot Of Skin, And Gets Criticized For It
If you watched the first season of "Hollywood Divas," you probably know that Countess Vaughn wanted to get some work done to get her body back after having kids and struggling to control her weight. That interest was often criticized by her castmates, who felt like she needed to learn to love herself the way she is. Specifically, Golden Brooks was the most critical, telling her she needed to work on her self-esteem before considering another surgical procedure (side note: Vaughn also had a fat transfer to her butt years ago), something people, including Vaughn, took as being a little judgmental:
"…if you feel doubtful and scared on the inside, then it may all come back. I get being insecure. But before going under the knife, can we change your diet? I want Countess to look at being healthy and not doing the quick fix. Let's go jogging, let's juice. I think it's coming across that she's taking it the wrong way. I think it's important for black women to know about organic eating, exercising, even some therapy. Fix yourself from the inside out."
Well, Vaughn has indeed fixed herself. And while she hasn't confirmed whether or not it was through a tummy tuck and liposuction or hard work, she's celebrating her new figure on Instagram. Two days ago she posted a picture of her changing body.
And while she's excited to be getting more slim and trim, some of her followers didn't understand why she would literally post a picture of her ass for the world to see:
"This is unnecessary. Really?! smh"
"You don't have to post half naked pics. We're about the same size. I post plain pics to let ppl know I love MYSELF body included."
"Omg is she serious. When will we learn smdh"
But many defended and supported Vaughn, which she appreciated.
"Thank you for your understanding. That i was bored and having fun with my phone."
I wouldn't have done all of this, but when you're feeling yourself and proud…it's a photoshoot!
Anywho, check out more images of Vaughn's changing look below:
"I Had To Do Something About It": Countess Vaughn Reveals She Had An Abortion So She Could Do "The Parkers"
On this week's episode of "Hollywood Divas," Countess Vaughn revealed the extent of what she had been through in the past that while trying to make it in Hollywood. During a therapy session, Vaughn stated that she found herself pregnant around the age of 18 when she was beginning work on "The Parkers." While Vaughn shined on "Moesha," "The Parkers" was to be something she would star in, front and center, and that was a big deal for her. She worried that if she went through with the pregnancy, she was going to lose her big opportunity. With that in mind, she revealed that she decided to abort the baby.
"They didn't want to see a pregnant girl up there on TV…I knew it wasn't a good look. I had to do something about it. I had to make a decision to get rid of the child for my career because I knew from the jump that if I let any of them know what was going on, they would have cancelled my show."
Vaughn spoke about this time in her life a bit further on the post-show blog:
I don't know if Hollywood has changed. When I was young, we didn't have shows like "16 and Pregnant," we didn't have anything saying "yes, you can be a mother and successful." My role models were Janet Jackson and Halle Berry who didn't want marriage to ruin their careers. Really, I was forced by fear. The fear of wanting to do the right thing or what I thought was the right thing at the time. My maturity wasn't there. The way I handled the situation showed that by not talking to anyone and taking matters in my own hands that I just wasn't ready. But having a show and having money doesn't make you ready to be a parent, either.
Vaughn also talked about dealing with other tough times in Hollywood, including being made fun of as a child star during her stint on "227." Unfortunately, the taunts, which were done behind her back, came from an elder adult who worked on the show:
Being a child on the set, I was bored running, through the hallways and I heard a conversation I shouldn't have heard. I kept that conversation in the back of my mind, like "is that what people really think at the end of the day." Especially at that age, it was traumatic. To have someone smile in your face and later . . . especially being an elder who had those views of me. But I kept it to myself.
Now, I'm trying to get away from victimhood. I want to shed the energy — to get over it. I really wanted this therapy regardless if it was on TV or not, it didn't matter. I want to be a better person and this was an opportunity to knock my thoughts off someone else. I'm not a victim, I love myself.
She told Us Weekly that while it was hard to reveal all these things, she needed to release it all:
"I really needed it to release all that I've been carrying all this time. I've beat myself up for so long about it, and I just felt like, 'You know what girl, you've got to tell somebody.' Even though the world will know, hey, that's just me. I like to keep it real at all times. While it was being shot, I really didn't notice the cameras being there. I was really there for help."
Vaughn is a mother of two children: Sasha, 5, and Jaylyn, 11. You can check out Vaughn's therapy session for yourself, and share your thoughts below:

Crabs-In-A-Barrel Drama: Why I'm Disappointed In "Hollywood Divas"
I thought I had really sworn off ratchet reality TV, but something about seeing famous (or in some cases, semi-famous) Black women come together to create something piqued my interest enough to make me tune into "Hollywood Divas." Featuring Paula Jai Parker, Golden Brooks, Countess Vaughn, Elise Neal and Lisa Wu, "Hollywood Divas" is a close sister-friend of "R&B Divas." What I mean by that is, has-been or struggling celebrities of a certain craft come together to become relevant again, constantly listing their credits to validate their current staked claim (READ: struggle).
I'm not sure if I was wrong for expecting a bit more (this IS reality tv), but I was all kinds of confused and disappointed by the rollout of the episodes and the catty/shady behavior of the women on-screen. In my mind, if I'm a struggling actress trying to get my name on somebody's marquee or credits, I'd come into a collaborative situation with my game face on and my pettiness tucked clean away.
These women don't think like I do, apparently.
The first two episodes jumped off with tears, fake high-pitched greetings, half-hugs, shade and catty backhanded compliments. One thing that struck me in particular as crazy with a capital C is the fact that Golden Brooks, best known for her role as 'Maya Wilkes' on Mara Brock Akil's groundbreaking show "Girlfriends," spent every waking moment shading reality stars and blaming them for the reason that "theater-trained" actors with a "certain pedigree" couldn't get work.
Um, you're on a reality show now, boo.
She also stated that in order to get work nowadays, actors have to be active on social media with millions of followers. To say that I was annoyed and that I highly disagreed would be the understatement of the year. There are so many examples of actresses, BLACK actresses, who have made it – in RECENT years – based off of their talent and strategic choices in roles not their standing on social media.
Viola Davis, a newcomer to Twitter, gained acclaim because of her work in recent movies like The Help and now her incomparable work as the mysterious and driven Annalise Keating in ABC's "How To Get Away With Murder." Her Twitter followers are climbing, but it's not because she's so active online. It's her talent.
Though she boasts 1.8 million followers on Twitter, Kerry Washington was on the map before she ever became active on social networks. Having masterfully portrayed Ray Charles's wife, a former Black Panther, Kay Amin, a slave woman and now political pistol Olivia Pope, she has garnered a fanbase. This fanbase comes not because of selfies and tweets, but because she has put in the work and taken on roles that align with her values and trajectory.
"Soul Food" actress, Nicole Ari Parker, spoke candidly at last year's Woman Thou Art Loosed "Girl Talk" segment about hearing a thousand nos before hearing the yes' that have helped her have success.
The bitterness and jealousy seen within the first few episodes of this show has left a bad taste in my mouth, but I'm still hoping for the best. We, as Black women, already have it tough without blaming one another for what we lack. There is room for all of us to shine, we just have to get in where we fit in and be resilient.
I'm hoping "Hollywood Divas" will eventually showcase strengthened friendships, uplifting creative projects, and a positive answer to the portrayal of Black women, but I won't hold my breath. However, it's still early, so we shall see…

"Create A Role For Yourself That Is Not The Maid!"Countess Vaughn Talks Transitioning From A Child Star To A Hollywood Diva
Notably known as Kim Parker, we saw Countess Vaughn grow into adulthood on "Moesha" and "The Parkers" and now we've finally gotten a chance to catch up on her life since then, thanks to the new reality show "Hollywood Divas." MadameNoire got the chance to catch up with Countess at the Circle Of Sisters Expo in New York City and while we chatted she shared insight on how she's maintained her self-esteem in a critical industry where the media and even her peers are critical of her (i.e. Golden Brooks calling her a whale in the second episode), as well as her advice on child stardom. Check her wisdom below!
What can fans expect to see from you on "Hollywood Divas"?
"Fans can expect to see the real from me. I've been out of Hollywood for a minute and the show gives me an opportunity to come back and play catch up in my life."
What new projects have you been working on?
"I've been working on new music and fans can see me in an upcoming film. I will also debut a clothing and hair line. I want to be a woman that does it all. Viewers will get a window to see what it takes (the different stages) of me transitioning back into the industry."
What advice would you give upcoming actresses who want to make it in the entertainment industry?
"It's important for aspiring actresses to know themselves. If you want to be in this industry, you need to check it out first because it can weigh on your self-esteem, you know? What job do you go to where people are constantly judging you? It's all about you being strong in your own skin. Most importantly, if you don't like the auditions your agent is sending you to, you have to make opportunities for yourself. If your agent is always sending you out to audition to be the maid then you need to create a role for yourself that is not the maid!"
What's the greatest lesson you've learned transitioning from a child to an adult actress?
"I've learned to not listen to what others have to say because it is not gospel."

Paula Jai Parker Says "Hollywood Divas" Was The Only Gig She Could Get
Now that reality shows have become a dime a dozen, it's clear to see the folks who subject themselves to the over-the-top drama of this genre of television clearly do it for the money. But are the checks that good? If you ask Paula Jai Parker, we bet the actress would shout out a resounding yes. The "Friday" star is one of the cast members of the new TV One reality show "Hollywood Divas" and when we asked why she joined the series she said plainly that the show is the only reason she has a house and a car right now because no one else in Hollywood is checking for her.
Is that the case for fellow '90s actress Countess and Vaughn and former "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Lisa Wu? Check out what they had to say about joining the show, beef with current and past cast mates (like Brandy on "Moesha for Countess) and why no one watching "Hollywood Divas" should judge them. What do you think? Will you keep tuning in?

Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
United Therapeutics' subsidiary Unither Virology won a National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) contract worth up to $45 million over five years to develop a broad-spectrum antiviral drug for diseases such as dengue and flu, based on its glycobiology antiviral platform. About $10.6 million in funding will be provided over the initial 42 months of the contract. The remaining finance will be allocated through eight milestone-based options.
The funding will support preclinical safety and efficacy studies aimed at enabling clinical trials of the candidate against dengue, and also preclinical studies that will generate additional data for development of the candidate against influenza. The contract means Unither Virology will be able to create about 20 new jobs at its headquarters in Silver Spring, MD.
Unither's glycobiology-based antiviral agents were originally developed and licensed under a research agreement with the Oxford Glycobiology Institute. The iminosugar molecules are designed to enter host cells and inhibit the chemical pathways that viruses use to fold their proteins. Unither says that because the iminosugars impact on the host cell rather than attacking the virus directly, the technology reduces the likelihood of drug-resistant virus strains emerging. Laboratory tests have indicated the iminosugar molecules are active against at least five different families of viruses.

Temperament is each person's unique way of thinking, behaving, and reacting to other people and situations. Although every person is different, basic patterns of temperament exist, such as being shy and withdrawn or outgoing and eager to try new things.
Temperament often affects a person's:
Temperament is greatly shaped and affected by a person's life experiences and environment. For example, a shy child who is hugged and praised often will develop self-confidence. This helps him or her respond in a positive way to new situations.
Temperament may change over time as a person ages.

The trial of a Bluff woman who has denied charges laid after
the sinking of her fishing boat Easy Rider last year will
probably take one week.
Eight people drowned when the Easy Rider was hit by a rogue
wave and sank in Foveaux Strait in March last year during a
muttonbirding trip to the Titi Islands. One man was rescued.
Gloria Davis, sole director of Easy Rider owner AZ1
Enterprises Ltd and widow of the boat's skipper, Rewai
Karetai, has denied charges laid by Maritime New Zealand
against her and her company.
At a status hearing in the Invercargill District Court this
morning, Judge Kevin Phillips said he had read the
submissions from prosecution and defence counsels and
estimated the trial would take a week. "It would be the best
part of it," Davis' counsel Roger Eagles replied.
Davis was remanded to March 28 so a trial date could be set.
Two of the charges against Davis are under the Maritime
Transport Act. They are operating Easy Rider knowing a
current skipper's certificate was not held, and causing the
boat to be operated in a manner which caused unnecessary risk
or danger to persons on board.
Three charges are under the Health and Safety in Employment
Act - that as a director of AZ1 Enterprises, Davis acquiesced
or participated in the failure of that employer to ensure the
safety of employees aboard Easy Rider; that she acquiesced or
participated in the failure of that employer to ensure no
action or inaction of any employee while at work harmed any
other person; and that she acquiesced or participated in the
failure of that employer to ensure no contractor or
subcontractor was harmed while working on board Easy Rider.

I was a little overwhelmed by the variety of options in the smart TV category. This particular model has the respect of not only its users but of the print media as well. Even so, my expectations were muted because I was leery about color/picture quality. This TV is much, much better than expected. The colors are vibrant. The screen has a small border which gives the whole view experience much more continuity. The other question I had was how hard is it going to be to hook up to wifi. It was a breeze. The TV and the router found each other with little prompting. Streaming has been seamless. And, the built in apps are terrific. They all offer great variety of programming. In fact, I will be removing my cable box in a month. It's that good. I highly recommend this product.

The easy to follow guide made set-up a breeze. The quality of the picture blew me away. The Smart TV features are awesome. The style, with the narrow bezel, is very chic. I put this one in the master bedroom and now I'm hoping to get one with an even bigger screen for the family room very soon.

I love my new LG TV. It was a great buy. But beware, if you have Comcast as your internet provider, you may not be able to use Netflix. I had trouble setting up Netflix but with the help of the LG people was able to get it going. Fortunately, I have AT&T as my internet provider. I do get some glare in the evening, but it's not horrible. Overall, I am very, very happy with the LG TV
Great picture

Not so easy to set up using standard remote. Did not come with Magic Remote. Need that to do many of the functions. Other reviews complained about the sound but we find no problems with the sound. We are quite pleased with our new LG TV.

The movie was fun and campy. I think the older folks who actually saw the old muppet show appreciated it more. My 7 year old like the singing and dancing.

To be waylaid by a coworker who loves to talk and doesn't realize 1. that you're too busy to stop to chat, 2. doesn't pick up on subtle hints that the conversation should come to a close, and 3. you're too polite abruptly end the conversation. If the feeling you had inside could be heard, it would make the same sound as Ozzy Osbourne yelling his wife's name "Sharon" loudly.
I was on my way back to my office when I got Sharoned.
