Top Reviews of VPN Residency
"Restaurant is clean and attractive. "
Velankanni church visit was long pending item and decided to make it in August 2013 as everyone felt comfortable. Me, my wife, our four year old 6 months old sons along with both of our parents decided to drive from Kottayam on the Xylo. Booking the room was critical being the start of season. Holiday IQ really helped in choosing the right place meeting our requirement, yes "VPN Residency". "VPN Residency" is well located in the main road to Velankanni Matha Shrine and very easy to reach. External appearance is no doubt good, looks relatively fresh building. Ample parking space as we entered and our Xylo found a comfortable place to rest. Check-in formalities were fairly simple and easy. No confusions on the advance booking, we got two numbers of three bed rooms. Its actually two bed rooms but has sufficient space to accommodate a third bed. Rooms smelled fresh and furnishings were clean in white. Clean toilets. Staff was courteous enough. Restaurant is clean and attractive. Buffet breakfast is complimentary and its very good. Al-a-carte Food was not so great considering the price. Overall I am happy about the time we spent with "VPN Residency". Velankanni is not Goa and hotel options are less if you are on a budget but not ready to compromise on hygiene. Go for it. Being a religious place, expect guests checking in and checking out round the clock resulting in some noise. Highly conscious sleepers should consider bringing ear plugs.
"Excellent stay & good facilities "
Had a good experience at VPN Residency, Velankanni. The room was good and liked the entire infrastructure with an added complimentary breakfast with good food. Will surely give a try here again during my next visit too. It's a bit away from the shrine, approximately a km away you would need to walk and I would say this is the best time to be there as there were no much crowd. For the hotel I will give 8/10.
Stay was really good. Room and restaurant were very clean. Food was excellent. Nearby to the church. One of the perfect place to stay. If you are planning to stay in Velankanni the VPN Residency is the right one. The staff were very patience to acknowledge the request we made during the stay.
"Your hotel housekeeping dept. we appreciated."
We dont have pictures, we are coming velankanni one night every three months, last time also we took 2 rooms. Rooms very specious, your house keeping department we appreciated, they do very very good job. We are doing overseas recruitment business, any city any hotel we select first we are looking bathrooms, ie your hotel housekeeping dept. we appreciated. As it is your performance is very good, Keep your standard and give a good rate for next booking. Our family members going to velankanni i introduce only your hotel. Any group any time we give your address. We hope your hospitality.
"A second home away from home"
My stay was a religious visit to vailankani, I needed a comfortable location very near to the church, thus there was no other better place than this. Overall the hospitality was good, and we had not found any inconvenience in our stay. Since I have been visiting this place for the past 3 yrs, most of the staff are familiar to us, so it is like a second home during my stay. As for the food I have not ate outside but only at the vpn due to hygiene concerns, my advice to pilgrims or tourists is that check out the number on the hotel's website and book your room and don't eat outside, a small check is that the food expenses could be reduced a bit, that is the area which makes a slight hesitation. We have not experienced the indoor pool, because we did not have ample time for it, maybe I will check it out in my next visit.

How long will my bone fracture claim take
It is impossible to give a standard timescale in these cases. Some people may require additional surgery to correct problems arising from the initial accident. The possible health impact of all the procedures and complications you may have suffered will have to be considered as part of any settlement and that may take some time to establish.
We will need to obtain medical evidence from independent experts detailing exactly what injuries and damage you have suffered.
The way your opponent responds to your claim also influences how long things might take. Sometimes, they'll admit liability quickly on the basis of our evidence and accept our valuation. In other cases, they may require you to be assessed by their own expert and will value the case themselves.
At Access Legal, we need to take time to resolve your claim in your best interest. If you settle too early, you cannot re-open your claim should additional unforeseen problems arise later down the line. We will always aim to resolve your claim without undue delay and can sometimes obtain interim payments so you don't have to wait until the end of the process before you receive some financial help.

another account for my minor children. My ex husband died last year. The trustees (his brother & sister ) want to direct the monies in to the trust of my minor children- who are the named beneficiaries of his estate. They have filed an ex parte motion. Do I need to be present at court? Or can I file a response thru the court. I don't want to see that family. Aren't I still entitled to that money?I had an attorney. I was disappointed that he didn't think I was entitled to the money. I did all the web searches on information pertaining to cases I thought might be similar to mine. (ERISA, EGELHOFF v. EGELHOFF... Etc). I called the brokerage account provided them with all the information of my ex spouse. The brokerage agent confirmed that I was the beneficiary, and said that it will be deposited to my account on August 31. However, the motion is dated for Sept 4th... They have since filed an extension until Sept 13 for me to seek other counsel. Now what? My attorney is no longer representing me. He feels he cannot represent something he feels he will not win... So am I on my own? I don't think I need an attorney, either the brokerage company pays me or they won't. They are under Federal Guidelines to pay who is named as beneficiary--that, per the Brokerage account. Period.
You posted this question before in another practice area listed on this forum, albeit you provide more facts now, and colleagues answered your question in the affirmative - the brokerage account funds are yours. We also recommended that you retain counsel.
In contested court proceedings it is usually more prudent to appear and appear with counsel and not pro se because knowing case law isn't the only thing that is involved in good advocacy. So I suggest you find an attorney who is willing to advocate for your rights.

Before acting on any information provided, you should contact an attorney who has experience with your issue Though I may answer questions posed by individuals in other jurisdictions, I am licensed to practice only in the State of Illinois. If you reside outside the State of Illinois and your matter does not relate to a person or property inside the State of Illinois, you should contact counsel in your particular state.

I would suggest that the answers to both of your questions are yes. You DO need to show up at the hearing and you DO need to have an attorney. It is not clear why your attorney believes you cannot win. But this kind of case has been a VERY hotly litigated area of law, the past couple of years. Yes, under ERISA, you are entitled to receive the account, as the designated beneficiary. Whether or not you can keep it is the more pertinent question. Different circuits have different answers, with many of them imposing a constructive trust on you, to recover the proceeds. Without an attorney, there is a very good chance you will lose. It sounds like based on your former attorney's research of the case law, you may lose either way.

By BEN A. FRANKLIN, Special to the New York Times
Published: November 11, 1988
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10— Texas has been selected as the site of the proposed superconducting super collider, a $4.4 billion atom smasher that would be the largest and most costly scientific instrument in the world, the Department of Energy said today.
The announcement, two days after the election, prompted immediate charges that the selection was motivated by politics. But officials said Texas was ranked first by a group of senior Energy Department engineers who evaluated the competing sites.
Secretary of Energy John S. Herrington said the importance of the undertaking rivaled the atom bomb project of World War II and the space program of the 1960's. Insights Into Nature's Forces
The collider would accelerate subatomic particles to nearly the speed of light and smash them together, yielding debris whose study is expected to provide insight into the fundamental building blocks and forces of nature.
Many top physicists say the project is imperative if further advances in high-energy physics are to be achieved.
Elated over the prospect of a multibillion-dollar expenditure over the next seven years, Senator Phil Gramm, Republican of Texas, said, ''Too often the Government invests in programs that have big returns in the next election when they ought to invest in programs that have big returns for the next generation. Praise and Criticism
''In high-energy physics,'' he said, ''we, today, are basically looking at the fuzz on the peach; we know very little about the inside of the peach.''
The project offers the depressed economy of the Dallas-Fort Worth area thousands of construction jobs and thousands when the collider is in operation. [ Page A25. ] But the project has been criticized by researchers who fear its huge appetite for funds will squeeze out other experiments.
Mr. Herrington insisted that Texas had won entirely on technical merit, and the White House said that neither President Reagan nor President-elect Bush, who is from Texas, played a role in the decision. A spokesman for Mr. Bush said the Vice President learned of the selection this morning.
Reporters repeatedly asked Mr. Herrington whether the choice of Texas had been influenced by powerful Texans of both parties in Congress, but he denied it.
''We picked the best from the best,'' Mr. Herrington said, referring to sites in six other states whose elected officials lobbied hard for the project.
At the news conference, Mr. Herrington and four other department officials, including senior engineers and technicians who took part in the study to select a site, stressed that the Texas location had won ''outstanding'' ratings in four of six broad categories, and ''good'' on the two others. The outstanding scores were for geology, regional resources, environment and setting. Good scores were given for regional conditions and utilities.
The Energy Department said Illinois, whose sponsors were among the most vociferous objectors to the decision, had outstanding scores in only two categories, good in three and poor for setting because of ''strong landowner opposition.'' Site Chosen on Election Day
Mr. Herrington said he had not chosen the site until Election Day. ''Each of the finalist states asked that we not make this decision prior to the election so we could de-politicize this effort,'' he said. His remark about the timing of the decision reflected an awareness that to have made it before the election could have brought a torrent of criticism of the Reagan Administration.
But politics will undoubtedly have a role in what is likely to be a struggle in Congress to finance the super collider, a 53-mile oval tunnel, 150 feet deep, that would be built about 25 miles south of Dallas. The project has received only about $200 million so far for planning and site selection and Congress has prohibited use of those funds for construction, wanting to leave the decision whether to proceed to the new administration. The Reagan Administration had requested $350 million to start the project, and some authorities estimate that it could eventually cost as much as $6 billion.
Texans acknowledged that one factor in the site selection might have been the influence of the state's Congressional delegation, which is expected to help assure future financing for the project. A $1 Billion Incentive
None of the other states offered the $1 billion incentive that Texas did. Texas voters and legislators agreed to provide $1 billion to help reduce the cost to the Government of the collider. And the state will provide the site alongside Waxahachie in Ellis County at no cost.
''I presume the Department of Energy concluded that Texas is the only state with the political clout to get the thing funded,'' said Bernard Weinstein, an economist who heads the Center for Enterprising at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. ''But we're talking about a $6 billion project in an era of tight budgets. The battle has just begun.''
At the news conference to announce the Texas site, Mr. Herrington was flanked by influential Texans, including Senator Lloyd Bentsen, Michael S. Dukakis's running mate; House Speaker Jim Wright, a Democrat, and Senator Gramm, who has been influential in budget matters. Illinois Officials Angered

The Perrins of Chateau de Beaucastel and Robert Haas, their importer since 1970, founded Tablas Creek Vineyard in 1990. They chose their 1600-foot elevation site in West Paso Robles' Las Tablas because of its chalky clay soils and its climate similar to the southern Rhone Valley. They imported selected French cuttings of Mourvedre, Grenache, Syrah and Counoise and multiplied, grafted and planted their own vines, which they farm organically. This blended wine, in the image of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, is 100% estate-grown and bottled.

I know its a bit of a long read but I thought it was really interesting and it kinda fits into what I had been thinking about recently. The conspiracy theorist side of me comes out some times :D

I don't like the heat much anyway. Gimme an induced ice age.

The theory would fit with the level of craziness that happens on the climate change fringe, i.e. our government.
Jun 8, 2011 at 1:14 UTC
well if we really could change climate, don't you think farmers and other people in agriculture would be using the technology to make their harvests better or something? wouldn't we use it in desert areas? I just don't see chem-trails so powerful that it changes weather.
Jun 8, 2011 at 1:25 UTC
Eh... I'm highly skeptical of statements like this:
"Of course, this is no natural phenomenon as the article claims. Ten years ago, contrails from jet aircraft disappeared within minutes, yet apparently we are led to believe that the same substance is now causing the trails to linger for hours and form into clouds. This is impossible without something within the substance having been changed."
Logically, I believe that's begging the question. I doubt that the statement of "ten years ago (etc.)" could be proven - everything following from that is seriously doubtful science.
The article is interesting - I just think it has only a passing relation to reality.
Jun 8, 2011 at 1:40 UTC
Good old Alex Jones, he's been on the chem trail thing for years, they were saying the same sort of things at least all most a decade ago. While I have a strong conspiracy theory side of me and I wouldn't put the most despicable things past the majority of our elected officials, I just can't buy it.

Jun 9, 2011 at 8:06 UTC
I'd be interested in evidence that the free clinics are some kind of evil conspiracy - frankly, most of the inner-city free clinics I've seen are staffed with truly caring people trying to Fight the Good Fight. I'm a Soldier, not a Healer, but I respect the fortitude it takes to work in such conditions.

The Death Of Sharon Tate And The Manson Murders
November 23, 2011 by staff
The Death Of Sharon Tate And The Manson Murders, Sharon Tate's engagement ring will be put on an auction block by the end of November. Auction house Gotta Have It! Collectibles suggested that it was the ring that the "Valley of the Dolls" actress wore on the day of her murder. Her sister Debra, however, is adamant that the actress was not wearing any rings at the time of death.
Debra told TMZ, "Because Sharon was pregnant, she couldn't fit any rings on her finger." Though so, she did confirm that the oval opal ring did belong to Sharon. According to the sister, the ring was not Sharon's "official" engagement ring. It is said to be an "unofficial symbol of her relationship" with director Roman Polanski.
Debra also insisted that the ring was never worn by Sharon because "the ring was not Sharon's style." The sister additionally noted that the late actress gave it away to a family friend long before she was murdered by the followers of Charles Manson in 1969.
Sharon's engagement ring will go up for auction on Gottahaverockandroll.com. The bidding will start at $10,000 on November 30 and runs through December 9. Pete Siegel of Gotta Have It! Collectibles told New York Daily News, "It's a great item of Hollywood collectibles." He did note that Roman gave the ring to a friend, who sold it to pay off a debt.

There's something a little bit special about this recent video from Men At Play. The guys appearing in "Safe House" are hot enough, but this is also Bruno Knight's directorial debut! The porn hunk has stepped behind the cameras to help create some of the hottest hardcore action in a different role than the one he's used to, and I have to say that the results are impressive! Hunky and muscled hairy top Paul Wagner is the officer charged with protecting Brandon Jones, delivering him to a safe house and out of the reach of the prostitution ring he was caught up in. But Wagner isn't always such a "good cop", and he wants some things in return. Those things are Brandon's mouth and ass! He feasts on that hard cop cock, servicing the hunk like the pro that he is, then his ass is up for some rimming before Wagner slides his dick in and fucks him hard. The cummy mess Brandon takes over his face at the end of that mean fuck is what gets him squirting his juice, too, showing that he really didn't mind assisting the authorities in such a way!

Raccoons don't attack for the heck of it
Q: Do raccoons like water? Do they attack something
just for the heck of it? If so, why?
A: Originally, raccoons lived in the woods, near water, but, as people cut
down trees, raccoons moved into open land, even cities, and live there now.
They're at home in water. Raccoons can cause people problems but attack
something for the heck of it?
Coons might attack if threatened. When cornered, full-grown raccoons are savage
fighters, ripping and slashing with claws and teeth a match for most
predators. If hunted by dogs, a raccoon may come off best, especially if he
can lure the hound into water and drown it.
"I've never heard of them just attacking somebody for no reason. Usually they
get mad if somebody stops giving them food or corners them in a threatening
way," says Alan Cooley raccoon wrangler at the University of Colorado at Boulder,
taxidermist, and trapper.
Rabies, on the other hand, is a different story. A rabid raccoon can attack
for no reason, like any rabid animal. To date, however, no human has contracted
rabies from a raccoon. Be careful, though. You don't want to be first.

The old window air-conditioning unit inside Amanda Quinteros's two-bedroom apartment provides welcome relief from the summer heat. But to use it, she and her husband must pay their landlord an extra $75 a month.
The charge is illegal, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Fairfax County Circuit Court against JBG Residential Services LLC, the property management company at the Olde Salem Village Apartment Homes in the Baileys Crossroads section of the county.
The suit alleges that the charge violates language in tenants' leases that stipulate fees for electricity and water but say nothing about air conditioning. The suit also alleges that the fee violates a Virginia housing law that prohibits landlords from charging more for a utility service than what that service costs to provide.
"Right now, we're bearing the heat because the one air conditioner is all we can afford," Quinteros, 51, a plaintiff in the lawsuit, said as her grandson and neighbors' children played near the cool air streaming from the unit. "We don't use the other one we have, because they'll charge us."
The suit seeks damages and an injunction against the fees at the 448-unit complex, where rent for a two-bedroom apartment starts at $1,365.
The complex's "Air Conditioner Policy" is outlined in a memorandum given to tenants every spring, the lawsuit states. Tenants are required to pay $325 per air conditioner for April through September or $75 for each month an air-conditioning unit is used.
Listed as an "amenity fee," the charge is explained as a way for JBG staff to monitor the air-conditioning units to ensure that they meet aesthetic standards, attorneys for the tenants said. JBG employees check apartments to see whether air conditioners are in use, tenants said, and assess fees if they have not already been paid.
Officials at JBG, which manages 7,500 apartments at properties across the Washington region, did not respond to questions about the fees or the lawsuit, but they said the company is in compliance with its leases and state regulations.
"As with all of our communities, JBG is committed to ensuring that our residents are proud to call our community their home," company spokesman Matthew Blocher said in an e-mail.
The suit alleges that the air-conditioning charges at the Olde Salem Village complex increase incrementally each year. If the fees are not paid on time, the amount the tenants owe is doubled, said Simon Sandoval-
Moshenberg, a lawyer at the Legal Aid Justice Center in Falls Church, which is coordinating the lawsuit on behalf of the mostly Latino tenants in conjunction with the D.C.-based law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan.
"It's just nickel-and-diming them for everything," Sandoval-Moshenberg said.
Lauren Boston, a spokeswoman for the National Apartment Association, an Arlington-based industry group for owners of large apartment complexes, said she was unaware of air-conditioner fees in other buildings.
"Nobody here has heard of that kind of charge," she said. "But we'd have to do more research to know for sure."
The fight over the fees has been brewing for several years at Olde Salem Village, off Leesburg Pike. Community organizers have sued JBG on behalf of individual tenants at least three times in recent years, but those cases focused on specific disputes rather than whether the fees should be allowed.
In one case in 2013, a Fairfax County judge ordered JBG to return $135.50 to a tenant who was incorrectly charged a late fee for using his air conditioner, court records show.
The Olde Salem complex is portrayed on its Web site as a tranquil haven for young professionals.
But tenants say that neighborhood crime has caused police to be a regular presence in the area and that rodents and cockroaches are a problem in some apartments. In general, the complex is considered to be well managed, county officials said, but records show that inspectors have visited the complex and found cases of bed bugs.
Everth Romero, another plaintiff in the lawsuit, pays $150 a month for two air conditioners in the bedrooms of the apartment he shares with his wife and young son, but he keeps the living-room window open to circulate air there.
The third-floor apartment tends to bake in the summer heat, he said. In July, when he was late with the payment, he was charged a $157 penalty.
"I can't keep paying all this money," said Romero, 32, who is unemployed after he was injured a year ago at his construction job. The family relies on the roughly $525 per week his wife makes cleaning houses, he said, and plans to move when their 15-month lease expires in November.
With median rents in Fairfax County hovering around $1,500 per month, the complex remains a relatively good deal even with the extra fees, community organizers say. For that reason — and in some cases because of immigration status — many residents have been reluctant to complain publicly.
"Nobody wants to say anything, out of fear of being thrown out," Quinteros said.
Quinteros said she raises the money to pay for her air conditioner by babysitting neighbors' children and selling El Salvadoran tamales, steamed to perfection inside her tiny kitchen. She charges a dollar per tamale.
"People have said I should charge more," she said over the whir of her window unit. "Maybe $1.25."

A FORMER Kidderminster College student is celebrating after a computer game he designed was downloaded more than five million times.
Jakrapong Saenyabut, 23, who completed the college's Level 3 creative media production course from 2010 to 2012, developed the artwork for Construction City while a friend completed the programming.
The free game, which allows players to control cranes, excavators, trucks, tractors and helicopters across 189 levels, was voted in the top 10 apps by appbrain.com and has received more than 40,000 five star ratings on the Google Play store.
Steve Rich, the ex-student's tutor at college, said: "Jakrapong's great passion was in creating the artwork for games and this is where he excels.
"I am delighted this game has received more than five million downloads and this is further proof that the college's courses equip students to compete with the best in this growing industry and I'm sure he will be making many more popular games in the future."
Jakrapong, who is originally from Thailand, is now running Heavy Fall Studio, a small company he set up to release his games.
The firm's facebook page has more than 100,000 likes and states its goal is to "permanently impact the global mobile gaming industry".
One user who downloaded Construction City from the android app store stated: "No better words for it, one of the coolest games. I love this game. I wish I had more levels. Awesome work from the investors of the game, thank you."

Four new schools have begun to show interest in Doomes. Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State are the four. "They told me to get ready to hear a lot from them." Trey knows that if he continues to hear from new schools, he'll be busy until he makes his college choice.
Kennesaw was the first school to offer Doomes and they continue to show interest in Trey. "They would love to keep me in-state."
Wednesday night, Doomes was on campus at Georgia Tech for their game with Florida State. "Coach (Josh) Pastner invited me to come watch them in ACC play." Doomes described the game as one of the best he's seen. "They completely out-hustled, out ran, and just wanted it more than Florida State."
Trey was impressed with the play of Josh Okogie, Ben Lammers, and Quinton Stephens. "If they weren't scoring, they were diving for loose balls or banging the boards for rebounds." It was clear to Doomes that Tech was a well-coached team. "You can see the players take to Coach Pastner and that speaks volumes of him and his staff."
Coach Pastner stays in touch with Trey as often as he can as does his recruiting coach Darryl LaBarrie. "Together, they are showing me a lot of love and showing me how much they want me. Coach Pastner told me last night that any one of four positions on the floor could have been me Wednesday night."
Even though he is a junior, Trey had given some thought to cutting his list of schools. "For now I am keeping it open. I have an idea of who the main schools are and which ones will probably be the
ones I make a decision from." Moving forward, Trey is approaching his recruitment with an open mind.
Doomes currently has 12 offers and he feels that other schools are close to offering. "This is the reason to keep an open mind. I'd like to feel when I make my decision that I'll have all the schools that want to offer to choose from."
A decision to sign in November or April has not been made at this time. "A lot will depend on how many offcial visits I can get in this summer." Doomes plans to take all five officials so that he can learn everything he needs to learn about each school. Trey is looking forward to talking to the players at each school to get their opinion of the school.
When it comes time to make his decision, Trey will be getting input from his parents, high school coach, and AAU coach. He will look to his parents for most of the input. "It will be my decision to make and
I will do it with their guidance."

Escape to Purgatory(1996)
A novel by Mark Bannerman
Wes Cullen is a former Confederate Army officer convicted of murder and imprisoned. Finding life behind bars intolerable, he escapes by bludgeoning down a guard. But the cost of freedom turns out to be far greater than he expects. He acquires temporary sanctuary with a young widow who is in desperate trouble herself. With her daughter sick, she is striving to keep the land she and her late husband farmed - but the local cattle baron and his lustful sons have other ideas. Meanwhile Cullen becomes further involved with outlawry and a price is placed upon his head. With enemies all around, he is plunged into a vortex of catastrophe, drawing ever closer to a rope's end.

The fate of Sheffield United, falling with bad grace into the Championship this week, or unlucky Torquay United, about to plunge into the Conference, will dismay supporters, but it is the counterpart to others' success. A contest in which sustained defeat has no consequence lacks tension, as cricket used to show. The division of its championship into two leagues has given the county game new energy, just as the multiple contests within football have sustained fans for over a century. The same is true in any competitive field, not least in politics, which has its own rankings - front- and backbench, cabinet and junior posts. Who goes up and who goes down may be less important than the policies ministers follow, but relegation and promotion still shake things up. Football and the government will both show that again when their new seasons start in the summer. In both the chance of promotion is what drives achievement. In neither would that be possible without someone else getting the boot.
"It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail," claimed Gore Vidal - and he was right, at least about football. In a game of manufactured emotions, failure is part of the fun. A Premiership in which rich clubs could be certain that their brands would never be diminished by relegation would be tiresome. The chance of calamity, however remote, is what keeps fans on the edge of their seats. It does no great harm other than to the pride of certain towns and the pockets of well-paid professionals.

Girls have been using Halloween as an excuse to dress provocatively for years, but sometimes the attempt to be "sexy" goes all wrong. These "sexy" costume ideas are neither sexy nor suitable for Halloween. Actually, they're pretty funny. Here the 10 worst "sexy" Halloween costume ideas.
Number Ten: "Tribal Princess."
Not only is this offensive, but that headdress will also make you look like a bird. Nope.
Number Nine: Sexy Clown.
There's nothing sexy about clowns. Nothing.
Number Eight: "Ms. Sexy Mario Green Player."
Not only is this costume ridiculous (Suspenders? Really?), but the fact that they couldn't even call it "Luigi" is equally absurd.
Number Seven: Sexy Elf.
It's Halloween, not Christmas. Come on.
Number Six: "Feisty Nun."
Though I'm sure many boys had fantasies about Catholic school, a fantasy about a nun was definitely not one of them. Don't get into the habit of wearing this.
Number Five: "Little Fur Kitty."
Sexy cat costumes may be the most popular of the sexy costume ideas, and they're entirely overdone. "Little fur kitty" might be unique, but this costume looks like something meant for a six-year-old.
Number Four: Sexy Charlie Brown.
Cover this poor woman up with a great pumpkin, Charlie Brown!
Number Three: Sexy Barney.
If your childhood hasn't been ruined already, it is now.
Number Two: "Pretty Paratrooper."
No girl should ever, ever, EVER dress up as a sexy [insert official Military name]. This is the opposite of supporting the troops.
Number One: "Cry Baby."
Finally, the absolute worst sexy costume idea is a sexy baby. This girl definitely needs a permanent time out from the costume game.

U.N. report details mass death, flight in eastern Ukraine
Published 6:00 pm, Wednesday, June 18, 2014
Geneva --
Hundreds of people have been killed and thousands have fled their homes amid rising violence, insecurity and crime in areas of eastern Ukraine that are under the control of pro-Russian armed groups, the United Nations said Wednesday.
A total of 356 people were known to have been killed since mid-April, Gianni Magazzeni, a senior U.N. human rights official, told reporters in Geneva as he presented the latest in a series of monthly reports by the U.N. team of 34 monitors in Ukraine.
Fighting between the Ukrainian army and armed groups in the eastern areas of Donetsk and Luhansk has increased in regularity and intensity as the government in Kiev seeks to assert its authority and has led to a growing number of civilian casualties, the United Nations reported, noting that separatist groups had acknowledged that their ranks include fighters from Chechnya and the Caucasus.
The dead included 257 civilians and 86 Ukrainian military personnel, including the 49 who were killed last week when separatists shot down a military transport plane with a shoulder-launched missile as it approached Luhansk airport, Magazzeni said. The report did not offer additional detail about the remaining 13 deaths.
Latest news videos
"We are talking of a reign of fear, if not of terror" in the pockets of territory around Donetsk and Luhansk controlled by armed separatists and now experiencing a state of total lawlessness, Magazzeni said. He cited cases of people shot at checkpoints for no reason and members of armed groups who were summarily shot because they no longer wanted to fight.
The U.N. refugee agency has reported that more than 34,000 Ukrainians have been displaced.

By Donna Freydkin, USA TODAY
NEW YORK With A-listers, the nose has it.
Everyone from Mariah Carey and Usher to Sarah Jessica Parker and Gwen Stefani have launched their own perfumes in the past months.
And on Wednesday night, Ali Larter, Christina Ricci and Rashida Jones turned out to fete the new fragrance DKNY Delicious Night at a downtown bash. The scent is another of Donna Karan's odes to Manhattan, so it's only fitting that Heroes hottie Larter dashed into the VIP room, ordered a glass of bubbly and got ready for a big night out.
"I'm so excited to be here in the city. I'm here with my girlfriends, and we're going to have an amazing night. We're going to have a great dinner at the Waverly (Inn) and drink champagne until dawn," Larter said.
Her perfect Manhattan escapade? "The exact one I'm describing. That's what we do," she said. "It's not about dancing in nightclubs. It's about having a great bottle of wine and great conversation.
"It's a sexy city, and I'm excited to be here."
Ricci sported a new, lighter-brown hair color. "I actually really like it. I read a long time ago, in some beauty bible, that if you want to change your hair color, you should go back to the color you were as a toddler. So that's what I was."
The L.A.-based Ricci is in town with plans to pamper herself.
"The hotels (here) are some of the most incredible hotels in the world. I love to go back to one of the gorgeous hotel rooms that has a view of the park and be in a luxurious room with an incredible view," she said. "I'm actually not 'a hot night out in the city' kind of girl."
Jones, formerly of NBC's The Office, is bicoastal but tries to come to Manhattan as much as possible. Her favorite activity? "Just walk around and make decisions as I'm walking of what to do. You can't do that in L.A. People stare at you like you're crazy. People don't really walk. You sit on your (bottom) in the car all day long. It's insane."

About Me
My name is Mickie and I am finally pursuing my life-long dream of modeling. I love, love, love being in front of the camera; it allows me to escape reality and be a different character. I can be crazy, fun, sensual, sweet, sexy...anything I want to be!
I am up for most types of modeling. Please feel free to contact me with any great ideas you may have. However, keep these few points in mind:
1. I do NOT do nudes!!!
2. I will do implied but I am very select about who I will work with
3. I reserve the right to bring someone with me to shoots and you never have to worry about this person interfering in the work we do.
4. I am very professional and reliable and I expect those I work with to be the same.
I am really looking forward to meeting and working with some great people here in the Atlanta area. Also, I occasionally travel to my hometown of Charlotte, NC and I am willing to do some work in that area as well.

Last week Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich wanted to arrest judges.
This week it's probably smart-alecky Internet pranksters who neither know nor appreciate an historical, transformative figure when they see one, and who engage in juvenile acts of online fraudulence and slander by owning the domain newtgingrich.com and then redirecting visitors to sites that Freddie Mac's historian emeritus would prefer voters not see.
For example, type in newtgingrich.com in your url field (or click on the link) and you just may end up at:
Travel Guide to Greece (alluding to exotic vacation Newt and his wife took early in the campaign)
Freddie Mac (noted $1.6 million historian)
Gingrich presidential campaign implodes -- Washington Post, June 9, 2011
Gingrich's Campaign Still Looks an Awful Lot Like a Book Tour -- The Atlantic, December 9, 2011
Tiffany & Co. -- Famous jewelry company's website.
A YouTube video of Newt and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi sitting on a loveseat in an ad requesting urgent action to combat climate change.
Some of the links above are designed to subtly imply that Gingrich is a greedy, big-spending grifter. The others are designed to impugn his character to the GOP base.
This type of willful disrespect for authority figures stems from the self-indulgent excesses of the '60s, which themselves were the logical outcome of the ruinous social policies enacted by Roosevelt's New Deal, Newt might say.
No word yet on who is behind the site, but whoever it is, Newt challenges that person to a series of 26-hour "Lincoln-Douglas style debates," as well as a 12-day, 14-city book-signing tour through the midwest on a luxury bus.

PARIS (AP) The French Open women's final between Justine Henin-Hardenne of Belgium and Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia drew a 1.7 overnight rating and 5 share on NBC.
That was down from a 1.9 rating and 6 share in 2005, when Henin-Hardenne beat Mary Pierce of France. But it was the same as in 2004, when Anastasia Myskina defeated Elena Dementieva in an all-Russian final.
The rating is the percentage of all homes with TVs, whether or not they are in use. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.

Talk:OpenGL ES
|WikiProject Computing
|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
|WikiProject Google
|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
BlackBerry OS 6.1 is going to support OpenGL-ES 2.0 pretty soon on phones currently running OS 6.0 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 06:04, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Are there any hardware solutions for OpenGL ES yet?
Yes, check out the MBX and SGX technology created by Imagination (http://www.powervr.com). Their technology is used in the Intel 2700G graphics accelerator (in Dell Axim x50/51v PDAs), in the new Freescale i.MX31 ARM-based CPU and some others. There are also many phones currently shipping using the MBX core such as the Nokia N93 and at least 6 OMAP based phones only available in the Japanese market.
NVIDIA and ATI also have mobile 3D chipsets supporting OpenGL ES 1.x. The ATI Imageon series and NVIDIA GoForce are the brand names. There are also somewhat smaller players such as Falanx (now part of ARM) which have the Mali 55 and Bitboys (now part of ATI). There are other hardware vendors out there, but I don't have their names handy.
iPod and iPhone[edit]
What's wrong with saying "phones, tablets, in-car devices" or similar? Marketing for iAnything shouldn't be on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 13:34, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
^^^ I've checked - the commit about iSomething was added by an unknown user... reverted the change
opengl 4.1 and opengl es 2.0[edit]
I've removed this recent edit: "OpenGL 4.1 is officially superset of OpenGL ES 2.0" which was not only in the wrong place, but is not entirely clear.
- The online documentation for opengl es 2.0 says "OpenGL ES 2.0 is defined relative to the OpenGL 2.0 specification" [1].
- The online documentation for opengl 4.1 says "Full compatibility with OpenGL ES 2.0 APIs for easier porting between mobile and desktop platforms" [2]
- The core specification PDF for opengl 4.1 [3] says "Improved OpenGL ES 2.0 compatibility by adding features previously found only in OpenGL ES 2.0 and not OpenGL 4.0 (GL_ARB_ES2_-compatibility)"
Therefore, I'm not sure whether saying that 3.1 is "officially a superset" of opengl es 2.0 is right. There's already a statement before that about the relation between opengl 2.0/opengl es 2.0, which I think is enough. pm (talk) 21:56, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
- What's unclear? An API that was previously only in OpenGL ES 2.0 got added to OpenGL 4.1, making OpenGL 4.1 a strict superset of OpenGL ES 2.0 when OpenGL 4.0 is only an approximate superset. So the edit was correct. --David-Sarah Hopwood ⚥ (talk) 19:57, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
needs disambiguation[edit]
"Many other functions and rendering primitives were removed in version 1.0 to produce a lightweight interface, including:"
May need reinforcement that the following list is of FEATURES REMOVED
'they are :' replacing 'including' seems clearer to me
"the removed features include :" would be even better — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 02:57, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Basing on OpenGL 2[edit]
The article says: "OpenGL ES 2.0 was publicly released in March 2007. It is based roughly on OpenGL 2.0, but it eliminates most of the fixed-function rendering pipeline in favor of a programmable one in a move similar to transition from OpenGL 3.0 to 3.1."
First, what does "based roughly" mean? Can it be described a bit more accurately? Second, the fully programmable graphics pipeline was included already in OpenGL 2.0. It is only deprecated in the 3.x spec. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 15:55, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
I wan't to update&support opel es3.0 Naruto2415 (talk) 17:04, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
opengl es3.0[edit]
We want to update Deknakon.2532 (talk) 04:20, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
glBegin & glEnd[edit]
In beginning of the article it is said that "One significant difference between OpenGL and OpenGL ES is that OpenGL ES removed the need to bracket OpenGL library calls with glBegin and glEnd. " but this doesn't make much sense since only the primitive declaration functions e.g. glVertex3f were affected by this restriction. These functions have been removed in OpenGL ES, as it is said later in the article. In the light of these facts, this whole sentence could be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 06:49, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
Strict subset of OpenGL?[edit]
OpenGL for Embedded Systems (OpenGL ES or GLES) is a subset of the OpenGL computer graphics rendering application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D computer graphics such as those used by video games
Is OpenGL ES really a strict subset of OpenGL? If so, is this true of all versions of OpenGL ES?
A quick web search turned up this StackOverflow answer indicating that it's not, but there's no reference to an authoritative source.

* Tapering of Fed stimulus still not seen imminent
* Euro helped by hopes of banking union deal, year-end flows
* No immediate reaction to budget deal in Washington
By Hideyuki Sano
TOKYO, Dec 11 (Reuters) - The dollar wobbled near a six-week low against a basket of currencies on Wednesday, hurt by the perception the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to trim its monetary stimulus.
On the other hand, year-end repatriations by European banks helped to underpin the euro, as did tighter money market condition and expectations of a banking deal in the euro zone.
"The fall in U.S. bond yields pressured the dollar. Although the Fed is on course to taper its stimulus, it is still not seen as imminent," said Shinichiro Kadota, chief FX strategist at Barclays in Tokyo.
The dollar index, which measures its value against a basket of six major currencies, stood at 80.01, little changed in Asia but not far from a six-week low of 79.843 hit on Tuesday.
The dollar has been capped since mid-November, when Janet Yellen, the incoming Fed chief, confirmed investors' belief that she will pursue an easy monetary policy to support job growth.
Although a strong reading in last week's payrolls data raised speculation the Fed could trim its bond buying even as early as next week, a move early next year is seen as more likely.
The dollar's attraction has also been tempered by a widespread belief in markets that Yellen will keep rates low for the foreseeable future even after the bond-buying stimulus has been rolled back.
The dollar showed no immediate reaction to the news that budget negotiators in the U.S. Congress have reached a two-year agreement aimed at avoiding a government shutdown on Jan. 15.
While the accord is seen as positive for the dollar, traders held off on trading on it. The deal still needs to pass both houses of congress and does not address the debt ceiling that needs to be raised some time next year.
In Asian trade, the euro stood little changed at $1.3748 , having risen the previous day to a six-week high of $1.3795, near its year-to-date peak of $1.3833 hit in late October.
Against the yen, the common currency fetched 141.35 yen , having risen as high as 142.19 yen on Tuesday, a level last seen in October 2008.
The common currency, which gained 3.4 percent versus the dollar and 7.7 percent against the yen from its low in November, was also bolstered by the repatriation of funds by European banks.
The banks are under pressure to shore up their capital bases ahead of an ECB asset quality review, which will be based on banks' balance sheets at the end of 2013.
A rise in euro zone money market rates has provided further support for the currency after the European Central Bank last week gave no hint of an immediate easing.
Some traders also cited hopes of a banking union as helping the single currency. European Union finance ministers edged closer to agreeing on a plan to form a new agency charged with closing down ailing euro zone banks and sharing the costs.
Other European currencies were also buoyant with sterling sitting near a two-year high against the dollar hit on Tuesday following comments from the Bank of England and strong house prices earlier this week.
The pound stood at $1.6440, near a two-year high of $1.6468 on Tuesday.
The Swiss franc was even stronger, helped by signs that deflation in Switzerland is abating and the economy is growing.
The euro traded at 1.2218 franc, just above a seven-month low of 1.2207 touched on Tuesday, while the dollar hit a two-year low of 0.8850 franc on Tuesday.
The Swiss central bank is widely expected to keep its commitment to the euro/Swiss franc peg at 1.20 francs at its policy meeting on Thursday.
The dollar also sagged against the yen to 102.81 yen, from Tuesday's high of 103.40 yen, though the yen is seen staying under pressure from expectations the Bank of Japan could expand its asset-purchase programme next year to achieve its ambitious inflation target.
An equally listless Australian dollar dipped 0.2 percent to $0.9135. The Aussie has been undermined by the Reserve Bank of Australia's repeated attempt to talk down the currency to support growth.

Forget those rules about bright makeup not being right for everyday wear, because being playful with your makeup is no longer taboo. I've put together a few looks that I'm hoping will inspire you to gravitate towards colour so you can feel confident while making a bold statement.
[The right shade of pink doesn't have to be too loud.]
If you're just testing out the waters, I suggest starting with a bright colour on your lips. There are many textures that are fitting for everyday wear. I prefer something with longevity, which is why I selected the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Addis Ababa. Because my lips were the focus of this look, I kept my other features soft.
[Start with a small amount of the product and build it up each time.
You can always add more but it's difficult to take away!]
Flushed cheeks are a beautiful way to add depth to your face. I used NYX High Definition Blush in Electro. For this look you can skip the contouring and simply press a blush brush onto the apples of your cheeks. When using a brighter blush try using only one side of your brush to distribute the product onto your cheeks while keeping the other side clean. Use the clean side to blend out your blush by sweeping the colour out to your hairline. This will create a soft gradient transition.
[You can wear this on its own with a nude lip or pair it with a bold lip colour as shown.
As you can tell, I decided to go bold.]
Let the colour speak for itself when lining your lids with a coloured pencil. I used Essence Long Lasting Eye pencil in Turquoise to draw attention to my eyes.
I enjoy wearing the blue coloured pencil on its own, but you can also pair it with a black liquid liner to add more definition. Complete this look with a volumizing mascara like Maybelline Lash Sensational!
