THE brave father and great-grandmother of an inspirational little boy have completed an abseil down the Spinnaker Tower.
Sam Merrick, whose parents Paul and Louise set up the charity Sam's Haven, watched amazed as more than a dozen nurses and family members made their way down the 560ft tower.
Altogether 40 abseilers raised £5,000 towards the cost of a caravan for families of children who are seriously ill to relax on free breaks in picturesque Pagham, West Sussex.
Sam, who suffers from a range of health problems after being born prematurely, said: 'It was brilliant.
'I got to play with lots of my friends and the best bit was seeing my dad do his abseil.
'I wasn't scared at all because I know he is brave.'
Sam's mum Louise, 33, from Bere Road, Denmead, said: 'We can't believe how many people came out to support us.
'It seemed like all Sam's nurses from the paediatric unit at Queen Alexandra Hospital were there.
'They didn't just do the abseil and go – they waited around all day until everyone had finished and cheered everyone on. They are all great sports.
'There were lots of comments about my husband Paul looking very pale because he was so nervous.
'But the person I was most worried about was my nan Judy Jeffreys.
'She is 69 but was one of the first ones to sign up and she took it in her stride.'
In 2012 Sam had a bone marrow transplant from his older brother Kiran.
The youngster has spent two-thirds of his life in hospital and brief stays at Church Farm – the site of the charity's caravan – have provided much-needed rest and recuperation for the whole family.
And that is exactly what his parents wanted to give other families in their position.
In just a year, Sam's Haven has made enormous progress.
So far it has raised £20,000 towards paying off the luxury caravan but must still raise another £15,000 as well as finding the £6,000-a-year ground rent.
Entertainers from Church Farm joined in the fun on abseil day, August 22, with Bradley the Bear entertaining the children.
Yesterday it was confirmed by HMRC that Sam's Haven now has full charity status which means it can claim tax back on items needed for the caravan and claim Gift Aid on donations.
There will be a one-year anniversary celebration on September 14 at Paulsgrove Community Centre.

Recently Nancy and I went to Airdrie to be part of the celebration of the Olympic torch relay(actually she talked me into it) and while there we decided to cross off one of the restaurants on our must try list. The place we chose was Sushi Haru, which has had some good reviews from both friends and those on various sites we visit, besides we were in need of a sushi fix. We met a co-worker of Nancy's at the torch relay and she joined us to try this new place out.
Airdrie is not exactly a location one would think of when planning a meal of sushi and I wondered if the reviews we had heard and read were either those who had little sushi experience at awful places such as Sushi King or BBQ Sushi Inn and had therefore been amazed that sushi could taste better or that the reviews online were mostly shills wanting to help the place out, and since the reviews on Urbanspoon were mostly from those who have posted no others I had my suspicions. None the less we figured it was worth the risk and even if the food was sub-par it would in all likelihood be better than much of what we've already subjected ourselves to in the past.
Sushi Haru is located in a strip mall at the north end of main street and is not hard to find even for those from the city. When we arrived we found that the place wasn't very busy and initially this worried me since so many of the reviews I've read stated that the authors visited several times a week, I therefore expected at least a somewhat full house. The decor was a mish-mash of Ikea artwork and Asian themes that tries to fill the basic box that owners have to deal with, while not a Sushi-ya atmosphere in any way it was fine. They do have a small sushi bar at the back of the place and if one wants to have that experience than they do offer it, although if you are the only one there it won't really work.
We took a look at the menu and found the basic items one would expect at a small Japanese themed restaurant and a few Korean items as well. A quick scan of the ala-cart sheet and we decided the prices were to steep to risk ordering some of our favorites when we'd never been here before and had no idea of the quality or freshness of the offerings. What we ended up ordering was the Sushi Haru Combo which is 38 pieces of assorted nigiri, maki, sashimi, 2 temaki cones and a 4 piece order of prawn tempura for about $40, not too bad depending on the choices that came with it. Since there were three of us we also topped the order up with a spicy salmon roll and an extra 4 pc order of tempura.
The tempura arrived soon after we'd placed our order and looked to be quite good, it wasn't over cooked as many are and the only problem I had was it seemed a little too oily for me which I chalked up to the oil in the fryer not being quite hot enough, although the oil was fresh and left no after taste at all.
Next to arrive was the main combo plate and the hand rolls, as expected for the price it was heavy on the maki and had only 8 pieces of nigiri and sashimi, never the less the food looked good and was well made. The temaki hand rolls were not quite as tasty as I would have hoped for but were made with care and of fresh ingredients. I however noticed one thing that seems to be all too common in some of the sushi joints in Calgary, the fact that the owner is succumbing to the "more is better' attitude of North American food culture. I picked up a piece of nigiri and the fish was very thick and twice the length of the meshi (rice). Personally, I would much rather have the price be a little lower and the portions of manageable size than what I saw on the plate at Sushi Haru, heck they could have twice as many portions of nigiri and sashimi for the same price and people would love it believing they were getting more. Anyway, enough of the pet peeves, the freshness of the fish was much better than I'd expected from a place like this and while the over-all quality was a notch or two down from some of the places in the city, I was quite impressed with the offerings. The meshi was a little sticky and not as good as the rice in many of the more expensive sushi places in Calgary but it was fresh, not cold and still much better than that which is served by the majority of the places we'd been to in the past.
As with the nigiri the maki rolls were well made and it was obvious that the edomai had put some effort into them as opposed to the factory floor versions we are acustomed to receiving at many busy sushi restaurants were it seems that as long as they are done it matters not how well and again the ingredients were fresh and tasty. I'm going to bring up one more pet peeve and thankfully this is one that does not apply to Sushi Haru. I love good sauces and am so very sick and tired of the bottled crap that the vast majority of sushi places serve on or beside their offerings. Nearly all of the maki I've had that was to be "spicy" merely has a squirt of Sriracha in each piece or if they are creative sriracha mixed with mayo, this is a horrible trend that needs to stop. I was so very pleased to find that the Spicy Salmon roll we ordered appeared to have the unbelievable on it – a home made hot sauce. Not only did it seem to not have come from a bottle, but it tasted very good and it did not overpower the fish, this is a very good thing in my view. To add to this revelation Sushi Haru is reputed to actually offer ponzu sauce with some items, I can only hope it too is good and that they serve it with the types of sushi that it should be served with, I'll have to return and find out for myself.
Sushi Haru surprised us with it's quality and the overall experience of the food they served, it's not going to be the place we visit all the time but it is now on our list of quality sushi places that we intend to continue to patronize. If they don't fall into the trap of cheaper fish and cutting corners and they make some of the small changes I think they should it may well be that I go out of my way a little more often to sample what they have to offer and I suggest you give them a try, I doubt you'll regret doing so.

Do or Don't: Wearing Glasses
*They make me feel like I'm wearing a disguise.
*I can look over the top of them and say smart-sounding things when I'm trying to impress people.
*They remind me of the cat-eye glasses I wore circa 2001.
People who wear contacts/glasses always seem to wish they could just get laser eye surgery, but yesterday, two people who don't wear glasses told me they wish they had a prescription so they could wear some stylish specs. What do you think? Do you fall into either category?
p.s. My glasses are by Dior.

Your glasses are so cute! I don't like mine so I just stick to contacts.

Very timely post! I wore glasses from when I was very young until I had Lasik eye surgery in 2004, just after I graduated from college. Haven't needed glasses since! It seems like a lot of bloggers these days are sporting stylish glasses and it has kind of made me want some too. Since I spend all day at work on the computer my eyes get tired a lot so I did recently get a prescription for glasses to wear when that happens. I just ordered some from Warby Parker to try on and see which one I like. I just hope it's not all downhill from here and I'll have to start wearing them all the time! haha
Love your glasses btw. They look great on you!

Briel, I'm terrified of lasik! but i secretly kind of want to get it too. (alan calls it "getting your eyes lasered" which makes me laugh every time). ooh warby parker glasses are so cute! i bet they look great on you.
thanks, rachel!! I'm back to my contacts today :)

Great glasses! They are a perfect fit for you!

I definitely understand why Lasik is scary for some people. Though you can't feel anything you CAN see it when they cut a flap on your eye that they fold back to use the laser. It's crazy but I found it kind of neat! haha
- January 4, 2013 at 7:10 AM
I wish I didn't have too. I guess if I didn't have a -10 prescription probably wouldn't mind so much. Even with all the fancy thinning and anti reflecting they still make my eyes look smaller with distorted rings on the sides and still a tad thick for my liking. Thank God for contacts.
Uhh and the comments when I do wear them for my once a year annual eye infection.
"Wow, you're blind." Or "Wow, they are really thick. Ever think about lasik?" Get's old and monotonous quick.

I too have glasses.. I love to wear it. I have been looking in ways to get different pieces but on my search I got to know that there are ways to get rid of your glasses for people who don't like it. Here one of the San Diego's Best Lasik Eye Surgery Centre says you can get Lasik eye surgery if you don't want to have those glasses on your face. Have you ever learnt about it... I am reading more on it.

I recently get acquainted with sleepSEE ,a technology that uses ortho k science to correct vision .Moreover it costs approximately half than lasik and is 100% effective.

What do the executives at McDonalds wish for Christmas? To be as reviled and hated as the executives at Coca-Cola who came out with the bilge known as "New Coke."
Say hello to New Meat:
McDonald's Corp. is tinkering with its primary product -- the hamburger -- in its effort to stimulate sales.
Beef patties will get a reformulated seasoning mix "to improve the flavor of our meat," and new sandwich buns will be rolled out next spring, a memorandum sent to franchisees disclosed. A copy of the document was obtained by Dow Jones Newswires.
All that remains is Jell-o to screw with their flavoring, and the Axis of Cosby will have destroyed the world!

That crazy time when your whole world has changed, no sleep, spit up in your hair and getting excited over a bit of wind that could be possibly causing your bundle of joys first smile.
Right now rewind back around three months, your bigger than you ever expected, bored and really excited with a hint of worry about whats around the corner.
My first birth with my son Ethan I spent months of preparation arranging the perfect hospital bag. I took everything by the kitchen sink including straighteners and a complete copy of my make up bag! Not to mention the toiletries!
With Kara last april I really reduced my packing down to what I really needed. In the time between having my son and having my daughter my world had changed along with the amount of things I needed on my face to get through a day. The packing was easier to get right this time round.
So after two wonderful hospital stays this is what I would recommend Kate to of had in her bag.
Im not going to into all the clothes and nipple pads, just sticking to the things that will help make you feel a little more like you.
1) Nipple Cream, believe me you need this! this is also such a great multitasker, I used Lanoish which I have used as almost a dupe to Elizabeth Ardens 8 hour Cream. Will help with everything from chapped lips (likely if you had gas and air) to dry knees from being bent over the bed.
2) Dont bother with a bag full of your favourite toiletries as minis, your baby wants to smell you not your local boots (which believe me they will soon get to know whilst you are on maternity leave)
With my second I shared with her. So some baby shampoo and Johnson's top to tail wash. To remove your makeup dont take wipes baby wipes are just as good if you really have to use one!
3) Hand sanitizer, dont think I really need to go into this. But also useful for wiping down surfaces with the hand towels out of the bathroom. Note, post baby YOU WILL BECOME A GERMAPHOBE! for anything within 50 feet of your wonderful bundle of joy!
4) BB cream, a cheek stain and waterproof mascara, you are going to cry over the next few days ALOT be it tears of joy or baby blues it happens to us all. BB cream will double as your moisturiser and cheek stain will out last any powder or cream blush.
5) Hair brush, with hair bands and hair grips. With all the sweating you are going to do, you do not want your hair getting the in way. Post birth tip, you will not have time to use hair straighteners for at least three months!
Now Kate will most likely have a hair dresser go in and make her look amazing before she leaves the hospital but hey for the rest of us we can pack into one bag only! (hopefully)
For a full list of what you would need in hospital for you and baby I found this one from the boots website, really handy if you like to tick off along the way.
And finally congratulations to Will and Kate!!! And welcome to the world on nappies and baby grows!

To check your blood sugar level when you have Type 2 diabetes, follow the specific instructions included with your glucose meter, states Mayo Clinic. A glucose meter is an electronic device that reads a blood sample to determine the amount of sugar in your blood.
Although the instructions may vary by device, the first step is to wash and dry your hands thoroughly, recommends Mayo Clinic. Next, insert a testing strip into the glucose meter. Draw blood by pricking your finger with the lancet included with the glucose meter. Squeeze the finger gently until a drop of blood is present. Touch the drop of blood to the testing strip. The glucose meter should show the blood sugar level within a few seconds.
When applying blood to the testing strip, it is important to add a large enough amount, according to Mayo Clinic. However, do not add more blood after the first drop is applied. If your blood sugar levels are falling or rising quickly, while exercising or after eating for example, readings from other parts of the body such as the palm or forearm may not be as accurate as with blood drawn from the fingertip. If you believe a reading may not be accurate, test again using blood from the fingertip.

There was a time when I'd take the Light Railway Transit (LRT) from Baclaran Station up to Carriedo Station to get to Binondo. This was the most convenient and fastest way to avoid the traffic along Taft Avenue.
Binondo is Manila's Chinatown, and it is also the oldest Chinatown in the world, having been established in 1594, older than any Chinese enclave established outside China.
And what I love about this place is the food: the hopia and the ma-chang, are two of my favorites! Hopia is a favorite snack because it's yummy, very filling and of course, cheap! It's easy to bring with you, too.
Ma-chang, on the other hand, is a meal unto itself. Flavored sticky rice with a few bits of chicken, pork and chestnut in it.
(Charme is a store for Chinese good luck charms and a lot more!)
But on my visit today to Binondo, it's not just about hopia and ma-chang, it's about the sightseeing, food-tasting and discovery of the corners of Binondo I haven't seen before. And thanks to our friend Marlu, who organized this tour, and another friend Diana, a Binondo local and who knows everything there is to know about Manila's Chinatown, we got to roam, eat, taste, enjoy and relaxed around this interesting corner of the metropolis for a day.
And as we roamed around almost every street in Binondo, we were able to enjoy the different Chinese dishes, most of which are specialties from different parts of China introduced into the Philippines by Chinese immigrants who came into the country centuries ago.
We had noodles, dumplings and lumpia, which were all savory and definitely deserve a second visit someday! I think I remember which streets to turn right to, or to turn left to, depending on the craving. Since Binondo is a small area, navigating around it is easy. And almost every corner, there's a good Chinese restaurant worth trying.
For me, the photographs of these restaurants and their dishes would just remind me which Chinese restaurant to visit next time, although now, seeing the food while I write this blog is already encouraging me to plan a return trip. Ha-ha-ha!
(Salazar Bakery has the best hopia in town!)
(The New Po-Heng Lumpia House has the best lumpia this side of Manila!)
(Marlu and Chinatown's ube colored firetruck! So, unique and chic!)
(My favoreeeeeet! Ma-chang!)
(Diana guiding her tourist friends after
enjoying another meal at a noodle house!)
(Fresh mangoes!)
The day of touring Binondo ended with a needed foot massage at Beijing Liang Zi Foot Spa at the Peace Hotel. With hours of walking, our tired feet deserved a break and a massage! Although the cost of the massage is cheaper than the ones in other parts of Manila, the quality of the massage and service is as good or even better!
Before we left Binondo, we said a little prayer of thanks and blessing at the Binondo Church, or the Minor Basilica of San Lorenzo Ruiz. According to Wikipedia, this church was originally built in 1596, but its original structures were destroyed during the British Bombardment and the Second World War.
And walking around the streets of Binondo, the oldest Chinatown in the world, we have literally walked through 422 years of history. Just like my friends, I am grateful and very lucky that, because the Chinese immigrants and their present-day descendants have successfully preserved their culture (and recipes!) over the past four centuries, we were able to enjoy the cuisines, snacks and the Chinese heritage of Binondo today.
My grandmother was Chinese and I never knew her. But today, thanks to Diana, I once again re-connected with my Chinese heritage even at least through noodles, dumpling, ma-chang, and of course, hopia. :-)

Non-profit and charitable organizations rely on corporate sailing sponsorships to help fund their sailing programs. Photo Sails are the next technological step in imaging sails to help attract those sponsors by creating mobile sailing billboards more visually impressive than the current industry stickers and dyed sails.
Photo Sails display corporate logos easily and properly read on both sides of any sail and not faded out and backwards when viewed in back-lit conditions. Logos are more easily recognizable from further distances.
We have helped attract new sponsors to disabled sailors and childrens foundations sometimes making the difference between survival or expantion of active sailing programs. Capitalizing on corporate branding on sails maximizes current assets without any additional overhead. See the Stories about Challenged America, Shake-A-Leg Miami, and Sailability under our "For Charities" section.

MOE was recently featured with Trap Street members Louie V Gutta and Nooch on "Iont Understand", a follow up to Gutta's recent "0 To 100″ freestyle a.k.a. the infamous "Meek Mill Diss".
Look for more from TRAP STREET on Gutta's upcoming "NEW LEGEND" project set for September 2014.

The way that the news conducts their polls is actually really ineffective at getting accurate numbers, They call land lines, they can't call cell phones which most young and lower class have, by law. So many of the people that they call are older and usually aren't in the lower classes.
On my polls on this sight I have found that Sanders is up 66% and on another persons, poll, Sanders was up 40 voters, (Hillary had 5 people voting for them, most of the people that I have personally asked, are pro Sanders as well.
Hillary Clinton usually does not know what exactly she is talking about and mostly relies on the media to decide what she wants to do for herself. She should be more into politics rather than what the media wants, because media is after all a world of opinions influenced by others' opinions. Which results in people's opinions being formed by those who surround them. Not a good place to follow when you're planning to be president.
I think Hillary Clinton has a lot of momentum right now, especially after the recent debate and the back and forth with Donald Trump. I think the fighting with Donald Trump is actually helping her because she is all over the news right now. I don't think she is losing ground at all.
Bernie Sanders has been running a great campaign. He is getting more support than anyone expected, but Hillary Clinton has the backing of the party and is still the one to beat. She also brings a ton of unique experience that none of the other candidates possess. Besides, it would be great to have her as the first woman president of the United States.
I believe that Hillary Clinton is still a very strong candidate leading the Democratic Party to win the presidency. She has wit and charisma. Most importantly, she has had so much experience in politics as well as foreign policies. She has established good relationship with other countries' heads. Being the former First Lady and working in the White House definitely makes her a winner in the coming presidential election.

I posted this as a comment on his blog, but thought it was interesting enought that others might want to know what is going on.
The IsValid() function uses the following regular expression to determine if the email is valid:
The CFMail tag uses the Sun Java class
javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress parse() function. Since the implementation uses JavaMail, this is how we generate the InternetAddress objects that we pass in for the addresses (to, from, cc, etc).
The "strict" attribute is turned on. The JavaDoc says of this:
"Parse the given sequence of addresses into InternetAddress objects. If strict is false, simple email addresses separated by spaces are also allowed. If strict is true, many (but not all) of the RFC822 syntax rules are enforced. In particular, even if strict is true, addresses composed of simple names (with no "@domain" part) are allowed. Such "illegal" addresses are not uncommon in real messages.
Non-strict parsing is typically used when parsing a list of mail addresses entered by a human. Strict parsing is typically used when parsing address headers in mail messages"
See the InternetAddress JavaDoc at http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/javax/mail/internet/InternetAddress.html
In general I think that the more strict IsValid() behavior is a good thing, and importantly it matches the client side validators used for forms in the browser. This is what it is intended to do (match client and server behavior).

The primary outcome variable at the start of the trial was the change in TFC score from baseline to Month 60. The Data and Safety Monitoring Board recommended to the trial leadership that they reconsider how they accommodate missing data from subjects who die in their primary analysis of the change in TFC score. Based on these recommendations, the trial leadership changed the primary analysis to that of a joint rank approach. TFC consists of five ordinally scaled items assessing a person's capacity with: (1) occupation; (2) financial affairs; (3) domestic responsibilities; (4) activities of daily living; and (5) independent living. Total score ranges from zero (worst) to 13 (best).

|Brief Summary
|The goals of this trial are to determine if coenzyme Q10 is effective in slowing the worsening symptoms of Huntington's disease and to learn about the safety and acceptability of long-term coenzyme Q10 use by determining its effects on people with Huntington's disease.
|Detailed Description
Huntington's disease (HD) is a slowly progressive disorder that devastates the lives of those affected and their families. There are no treatments that slow the progression of HD, only mildly effective symptomatic therapies are available.
The purpose of this trial is to find out if coenzyme Q10 (CoQ) is effective in slowing the worsening symptoms of HD. In this study, researchers also will learn about the safety and acceptability of long-term CoQ use by determining its effects on people with HD.
Participants in this trial will be randomly chosen to one of two groups. Group 1 will receive CoQ (2400 mg/day), and group 2 will receive a placebo (an inactive substance). Researchers will compare the change in total functional capacity (TFC)—a measure of functional disability—in the two groups. The TFC is a valid and reliable measure of disease progression and is particularly responsive to change in the early and mid-stages of HD. Researchers will also compare the changes in other components of the Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale '99 (UHDRS) including: the total motor score, total behavioral frequency score, total behavior frequency X severity score, verbal fluency test, symbol digit modalities test, Stroop, interference test, functional checklist, and independence scale scores. The groups will also be compared with respect to tolerability, adverse events, vital signs, and laboratory test results as measures of safety.

With comedy sequences that wobble between parody and sentiment, director Marc-Andre Grynbaum has attempted to present the story of a young Jewish man who starts a rock group ("Rock and Torah") and achieves success. That is because he is actually an incarnation of a Biblical patriarch who was once enthused by music more than by the sculpting of holy icons, and for some reason, deserves musical success in modern Paris. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

April 25, 2012 20:28 ET
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - April 25, 2012) - Guide Exploration Ltd. ("Guide" or the "Corporation") (TSX:GO) announces the renewal of its $250 million credit facilities. The credit facilities consist of a $225 million extendible 366 day revolving term facility to May 28, 2013 and a $25 million non-revolving facility. The $25 million non-revolving facility is available subject to mutual approval of the banking syndicate and the Corporation, including repayment terms. Current amount outstanding is approximately $192 million.
2012 Operational Update
Exit production for the first quarter of 2012 was approximately 16,000 BOE/day including 5,600 barrels per day of oil and NGLs (35% liquids weighting). Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Guide has shut-in certain gas properties and will curtail production in other areas in response to the current spot AECO gas price. These shut-ins will impact approximately 10 to 15 percent of our natural gas production or approximately 6 to 9 Mmcf per day. Guide has hedges in place for the remainder of 2012 for approximately 31 Mmcf per day of natural gas at an average price of $5.09 /mcf AECO, thus the bulk of our gas production is protected from the current low gas price environment. At this time, Guide is not modifying its guidance for 2012.
In the first quarter of 2012, Guide drilled a total of 14.2 net wells. Our major area of focus was Montney oil in the Normandville/Girouxville area where we added 6 net wells and upgraded our Normandville oil facility to handle an additional 5,000 barrels of oil per day and associated gas.
During the remainder of 2012, Guide plans to drill an additional 24 wells (22 net) including 19 wells (19 net) planned in the Normandville/Girouxville Montney fairway. Plans also include the construction of a 5,000 barrels per day capacity oil facility at Girouxville.
Work is continuing on our Duvernay prospect near Grande Prairie, Alberta. We anticipate spudding this well in the third quarter of 2012.
Financial results for First Quarter 2012 will be released on May 7, 2012.
The Annual and Special Meeting of shareholders of Guide will be held at Livingston Place, 2nd floor, 222 - 3rd Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta on May 23, 2012 at 2pm (Calgary time).
Guide has approximately 103.2 million Class A shares issued and outstanding which trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "GO".
Forward Looking Statements:
Certain information regarding Guide in this news release including management's assessment of future plans and operations, drilling plans, plans to shut-in certain natural gas production and the effect thereof, plans for construction of oil facility and timing of release of financial results and of shareholder meeting and commodity mix, Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, risks associated with oil and gas exploration, development, exploitation, production, marketing and transportation, loss of markets, volatility of commodity prices, currency fluctuations, imprecision of reserve estimates, environmental risks, competition from other producers, inability to retain drilling rigs and other services, capital expenditure costs, including drilling, completion and facilities costs, unexpected decline rates in wells, wells not performing as expected, delays resulting from or inability to obtain required regulatory approvals and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources. As a consequence, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements or information are based on a number of factors and assumptions which have been used to develop such statements and information but which may prove to be incorrect.

In The VIP - Real Fucking Parties, Real Party Fucking
How many nights have you spent dreaming of getting into the VIP room and seeing what really goes on back there? In The VIP markets itself as a site that takes you beyond the velvet rope, past the satin panties, and right down to the nitty gritty of hardcore VIP room sex! They claim it's not just at clubs either — there are supposed to be plenty of limo scenes, hotel room scenes, and other similar shots. Do they really live up to their claims?
The answer is: Almost - but not really. I'm not buying that these are real clubs and real VIP rooms. Some look like local bars and others look like setup parties. Sometimes, the music that they play in the club scenes is pretty ancient... Took me back to my awkward high school days. (Shudders with disgust). Seriously, nobody wants to hear that music ever again — except whoever it is that's playing in in these damn videos! Some of the areas that are supposed to be VIP rooms are obviously just somebody's living room or den. The worst part is that the videos typically end with the same few guys getting it on with one or two girls he picked from the "club" -- and it's not in a VIP area, it's just basically wherever, living rooms, hotel room, etc. No club action here, no sir.
So those are the cons... what about the pros? The sex on In The VIP is great, very hot and exciting. The video guys manage to capture all of the best action from the right angles with great lighting. The girls on this site are really hot too—definitely the kind of girls that I would expect to see at the hottest clubs on any given night. So no, they aren't real clubs from what I can tell—but the girls are at least believable.
Right now they're are over 110 updates on InTheVip.com, which is an impressive number of updates with such a specified niche. A download will typically take up about 120MB on your hard drive—a pretty good number and a nice quick download on a broadband connection. Your videos can be downloaded or streamed, and they're available in Windows Media format (WMV) at 480 x 360 resolution or MPEG format (MPG) at the same resolution as well.
The videos are anywhere from a half an hour to close to an hour in length, and they promise to update with a new video every week. Obviously these guys know how to get their party on (even if it isn't in a real club), and you get to go along with them for the ride—or at least you get to watch that wild ride from the comfort of your own home. What more could you ask for, other than to be there in person?
There are an equal number of accompanying photo sets, and each one contains an astounding total of 250+ photographs. Many of the older ones were screencaps, but most recent updates feature both screencaps and professional digital pictures. But but they're still excellent if you ask me. They also offer zip sets so you can download the entire photo set with just a single click. I don't know what it is, but when a site offers zip sets, I can't resist downloading them. It's just so easy, and you get so much in exchange for that one click.
The bonus sites you get as a member of the Reality Kings network are plentiful and impressive: 40 Inch Plus, 8th Street Latinas, Big Naturals, Big Tits Boss, Captain Stabbin, Cum Fiesta, Euro Sex Parties, First Time Auditions, Flower Tucci, In The VIP, Mike In Brazil, Mikes Apartment, MILF Hunter, Milf Next Door, Money Talks, Pure 18, Round and Brown, Street Blowjobs, Team Squirt, VIP Crew, and We Live Together.
Overall I have to give In The VIP a 81/100. It's a low rating because they simply don't live up to their claims. The content is good and the fucking is hot—but there are no real clubs or VIP rooms in sight. For $24.95 with all those free bonus sites, I'd venture to say that it may be worth some of your cash—but I don't know why they have to result to diversionary tactics just to make a buck. Current status: Recommended—but not as highly as the other sites in the Reality Kings network!
When you join In The VIP, you also get access to the following websites: 40 Inch Plus, 8th Street Latinas, Big Naturals, Big Tits Boss, Captain Stabbin, CFNM Secret, Cum Fiesta, Dangerous Dongs, Euro Sex Parties, Extreme Naturals, First Time Auditions, Flower Tucci, Hot Bush, Mike In Brazil, Mikes Apartment, MILF Hunter, Milf Next Door, Moms Bang Teens, Money Talks, Monster Curves, Pure 18, Real Orgasms, Reality Kings, Round and Brown, Saturday Night Latinas, See My Wife, Street Blowjobs, Team Squirt, Teens Love Huge Cocks, and We Live Together.

Ever been to a club and wondered what went on in those VIP rooms? Well, you don't have to imagine any longer because you have your own special invitation at In The VIP. Camera crews go into real clubs and as the music pumps and unknowing people dance and party, these chicks strip and tease and play with both each other and the guys in the room.

So HAPPY to see large scale of my Diane Pernet illustration on display at her fragrance collection launch!!!
If Diane were a flower, I think she would be Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop' (Black Rose)...The sophisticated layers of the leaves create beautiful and elegant forms. The color combination of the plant is very intriguing and mysterious. Just like Diane, a perfect combination of boldness, power, darkness, beauty, mystery and elegance.
Special thanks to Marcus Kan of Draw A Dot. for the wonderful collaboration & brilliant art direction!
Have a Happy Weekend everyone!♥

New IB chief has his task cut outDecember 9th, 2008 - 5:41 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Dec 9 (IANS) Rajiv Mathur, a 1972 batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer who takes over as director of the Intelligence Bureau (IB) on Jan 1, will have his task cut out as his topmost priority will be to plug the gaps in the agency and address critical manpower and resource shortages.An Uttar Pradesh cadre officer, Mathur is currently special director in India's internal intelligence agency and the organisation he will soon head has been in the spotlight for not following up on critical intelligence inputs provided not just for the NOv 26 Mumbai attacks but for the wave of at least 30 bombings across the country this year.
"The composition and operational philosophy of the intelligence agency has not really changed much all these years. In this security climate post 26/11 and with a new home minister, the IB chief will perforce have to be more pro-active," said a senior intelligence functionary who knows Mathur.
Currently the IB has barely 3,500-3,800 field personnel engaged in hard-nosed snooping and information gathering out of a total strength of 28,000. Till date only 1,400 additional posts have been sanctioned.
Having spent more than 30 years in the country's oldest domestic intelligence agency, Mathur, who many colleagues describe as "low-key and cerebral", has not specialised in any particular area such as counter-intelligence or terrorism.
"He has largely been an officer who has dealt with political intelligence but that is alright. He is a team player and that is all that matters," said another intelligence official.
The government has already set up a task force headed by S.D. Pradhan, who retired a few months ago as chief of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC), to ensure more meaningful coordination among the country's intelligence outfits including the IB, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) and the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA).
Mathur will be director for a minimum of two years as the post carries a fixed tenure. He takes over from P.C. Haldar, who retires at the end of this month.

This second novel by the author of The Kite Runner again takes readers to is birthplace of Afghanistan. This time it is the story of two women a generation apart who come together under the most dire of circumstances amid the chaos of changing politics in Kabul, Afghanistan in the early 1990s. Their differing ideas about life and love change for both women as they come together to support each other. Within the recent historic background of Afghanistan, this is a story of endurance, sacrifice and love.

Guest Editorial
Barack Obama's agenda may be finished in 2014
If the president thought this last year was bad, he may want to take some time on his Hawaiian Christmas vacation to sit down and consider that his best days in office are most likely behind him. The months between now and November 2014 may be the last before his presidency, at least legislatively, is effectively over.
The sixth year of office is historically a difficult one for any two-term presidency – specifically the second mid-term election. Often, the national popularity of the executive is waning, his party has exhausted its political capital defending his policies, the opposing party is fresh off a painful defeat and ready to fight for a conclusive win, and the president's political coalition is simply not as engaged nor politically supportive as it was during the presidential campaign. These factors add up to big losses for the president's party and a national swing toward the opposition. Additionally, only three mid-term elections since 1870 have resulted in Congressional gains for a two-term president's party.
In 2014, you can take each of those cases and multiply them. For further analysis, consider Obama's first mid-term election.
In 2009, Barack Obama used the Democrats' filibuster-proof supermajority to force the unpopular "Affordable Care Act" (more popularly called "Obamacare") on the American public. The response from the electorate was the advent of perhaps the largest organic political grassroots movement in the modern history of the nation. The so-called "Tea Party" was a large, effective collection of Americans who were simply fed up with the left's grip on Washington and willing to mobilize against the government's historic overreach into the healthcare market. This movement attained historic notoriety (and the undying ire of the left) as the primary force behind the 2010 landslide midterm victory for Republicans which shifted the House of Representatives from a large Democrat majority to a Republican majority and eviscerated the Democrat's Senate supermajority in a night. All of this predicated on Obamacare as an idea and a bill.
Four years later, Obamacare was finally implemented with dismal results. Millions continue to lose healthcare coverage and access to their primary physicians, despite a multitude of speeches from Obama promising otherwise. Healthcare premium increases are rampant and severe, in many cases rising several hundred percent or more. The website was entirely out of service for months before the enrollment deadline passed and is, to date, still not optimally functional. This law, not supported by most Americans from the start, has put the nation's entire healthcare system in disarray and American families at risk.
On top of these and other mounting scandals from the White House, the backbone to Obama's coalition – the millennial young vote – is becoming increasingly disenfranchised with the President they twice voted for as they find themselves continuously thrown under the buss by his policies: Being legally forced to overpay for health insurance they don't want. Mounting student loan debt they can't repay because entry-level jobs with upward mobility are largely non-existent in this economic environment. And figuring out that the "Big Brother" NSA is recording everything they do on the web and their phones.
A recent Harvard University poll found that only 41 percent of young Americans now support the president, down from 52 percent at the time of the 2012 election. This pulls the rug out from under Democrats who were elected on the coattails of Barack Obama's popularity.
Senate Democrats up for election this year were last elected with the wave of support – and historic left-leaning voter turnout – for President Obama. They now find themselves accountable for the actions of a president they supported and at great political risk because of it, especially in vulnerable right-leaning states like West Virginia, Montana, North Carolina, Louisiana, South Dakota, and Arkansas. Indeed, if Republicans keep their seats and win only a third of the Democrat senate seats up for election in the upcoming year, Republicans gain the majority in both houses, officially rendering Obama a conclusive "lame duck."
Barack Obama finds himself with few supporters and fewer allies in Washington with a political party at the cusp of a great defeat. Owner of Politifact's "Lie of the Year" and Politico's most-exposed liar, Obama has little credibility with which to offer support to his party. The question is, though, who even wants it?
With history no longer in his favor, his keynote legislation hurting families as its launch sputters, and the once-thought most dedicated body of support dissolving by the day, 2014 very well may effectively mark the end of the Obama agenda.

I really don't want to repeat what I have said in my debate so if you want to know my reasons please go to the debate section and search is man better than woman. But like I said that is the debating section and this is the opinion section so yeah.
I'm not voting "woman", I'm voting NO to this entire debate. They're hardly comparable, every person has their own strengths and weaknesses and its hard to constrain these under "man" and "woman" because we aren't homogenous groups.
Deciding which sex is better based on some arbitrary factor like who can run fastest is really petty.
A woman is just as smart mentally and lower body. Any one who says otherwise is stupid. S T U P I D. It is just a fact of life. Just beacuse the running for president is mostly men that does not mean woman have less leverage than men
