Sub/maso F seeks M or F nemesis for dark & violent RP
July 31, 2016, 08:01:22 AM »
As an overview, I'm more maso than sub as a writer, because I love non-consent, at least at the beginning of a RP. You'll find my ideas pretty well fleshed but please don't let that put you off, that's just how my muse runs. Everything can be discussed and negotiated. I also tend to write from a hetero perspective out of habit but most roles could be played my female characters or vice versa. I have no interest in your RL gender or whether it's binary, that's your personal business. Im happy to write with people playing a different gender to the one they've registered as. All I ask is that you be convincing and avoid cliches. I do have a particular weakness for masculine genderqueer ladies.
Please follow the link in my sig to view my O/Os.
My posts are very much on the wordy side, please see
this thread
for an example of my writing style before you decide how suited we are.
Please message me with interest.

Walk Like a Man
~ FtM genderqueer character wanted.
Your FtM genderqueer character has been making some pretty epic life choices. You're not gay, you're a straight man in a female body. You tell your family and friends (how they react is up to you) and then your doctor. Following counselling, you start taking testosterone supplements and living as man. You put up with some shit from your employer and coworkers and it takes a while for the people in your life to accept your decision. You decide to move out of your comfort zone socially. Up till now you've favoured GLBT friendly bars and clubs but you start braving cis/het venues, to see how people react to you; how convincing you are as a man.
You get talking to a girl who just treats you like any other guy. She's exactly your type too and you find her so easy to talk to that you get a little carried away. You walk her home and she kisses you. Half drunk and intoxicated even more by the thrill of simply kissing a girl as a man, you start touching her and one thing leads to another. When she discovers you're not yet the gender it says on the can, my character reacts badly. You get angry and force yourself on her, a violent girl on girl rape that has her cumming harder than she ever has before. You leave before she gets up, worried she will go to the police with the DNA evidence all over her body and bedroom.
Nothing happens, in fact the next time she sees you you can tell she's fantasising about it. You take her out to apologise and she doesn't initiate anything sexual. You verbally humiliate her about the way she responded to you and it's like a light has been turned on. You use a feel doe to demonstrate how capable you are of fucking her like a man. You damn near kill her by forcing it down her throat and she just creams herself.
After that, she becomes your girlfriend and despite being a liberated feminist, this girl just brings out the predatory, violent asshole in you. When you start smacking her around and verbally abusing her she takes it all and gushes everywhere. The girl is turning you into a chauvinist abuser but you're too intoxicated by it all to care. You take more and more control over her life. You move into her place and start grooming her into your plaything. She becomes the outlet for all your frustrations and your sex drive just escalates with the hormone treatment.

Vampire vs witch ~ Buffy inspired.
Reply #2 on:
September 06, 2016, 04:32:27 AM »
Seeking suitably sardonic version of Spike, canon or non-canon. Could be contemporary or fantasy/historical setting.
Your vampire character stumbles on a very novice young witch trying desperately to deal with and develop her emerging powers without the guidance of her mother, from whom she inherited them. Her attempts to use these powers effectively when you get the urge to rape and drain her are just pitiful. Having never drunk from a wiccan before, you discover that her blood is the most incredible you have ever tasted. Initially you keep her as a blood slave and plaything but it becomes apparent that after you've drunk from her, you're physically stronger and faster. You drain her power and it adds to yours, for a short period of time. [yet to be determined]
After that comes the delicate balancing act of forcing/helping your delicious Wiccan develop her powers further, so you can feed on them. Let her get too strong or fail to drink from her frequently enough and she'll be able to defeat you and flee. Drink from her too often however, or gorge too deeply on her exquisite blood and she'll be of no use to you until she recovers - if she recovers. You're also not accustomed to having a cryptguest with human needs like warmth and food, so your care of her can be neglectful.
On the back of this new strength, your character sets about unseating the most powerful vampires in the land and assuming his place as their ruler and greatest threat. My character is dragged along as your sidekick but nobody can know your strength is stolen from the tiny little witch and therefore how precarious your position is if anything should happen to her or she gets the rise on you and escapes.
How their relationship develops and how consensual it gets in the longer term are something we can decide together.

River Vs Operative ~ Firefly/Serenity
Reply #3 on:
September 08, 2016, 03:35:15 AM »
Ok I'm a Whedon-o-phile. Deal with it.
In this story instead of Mal and his crew reaching Miranda and successfully exposing its secret, we're going to veer off topic a little. At some point in the original narrative, the Operative manages to snatch River and here's why.
Once he sees River in action he begins to question whether executing her is the right decision. Yes, she's undoubtedly suffering from minor brain damage and trauma but despite all that she remains a formidable force, a one woman army. She's a genius, she just needs to be handled a little more carefully.
He finds the strength of her bond with her brother interesting and potentially useful. The Operative puts it to his superiors that with a little more tinkering by the 'hands of blue' River can be made more stable. At the same time, he wants total seclusion with her. River is psychic and he is a terrible man who has done terrible things and regrets none of them. She'll see the attack on Haven that obliterated the place and she'll see how satisfied with it he was. All she'll get out of his head are reasons to fear him, because he is the man who doesn't ask why; he just follows orders in the most ruthlessly efficient way possible.
Once she fully comprehends what and who she's dealing with, he can really go to work on her. He can test every trigger she has and even give her new ones. Psychologically he will get into her head and kick things around until she comprehends the kind of malice she's dealing with. He wants her demoralised and doubting herself, as well as her sainted big brother. The real thrust of his new mission though will be to get her unquestioning obedience by any means necessary because the Operative intends to become her full time handler. If River can be kept on a short enough leash to become more asset than threat, she could wind up being the greatest Operative of all time.
The Operative is a pragmatic man who knows that despite the fact he's a vital, if unpalatable, part of the Alliance's bold vision for the future, no Operative has lived to old age or been pensioned off onto a nice core world to live out their remaining days in peace. He also knows he's not getting any younger and that the day he fails in a mission it will be his death sentence. Black Ops are a young man's game and keen new faces are always rising through the ranks, hungry for glory that they'll never publicly receive. He's counting numbered days.
Naturally, once River is mission ready the first thing she's going to destroy is her brother, swiftly followed by the rest of Serenity's crew. The self loathing that will inevitably cause in the calm after the storm will be something he can work with. She has to lose faith in herself before she'll put it in him.
The Operative's superiors agree to the plan but they think it's a reckless gamble with little chance of long term success. Early indicators of River's potential were off every chart however and they will take a chance on the Operative in order not to lose that. They want all this carried out on the most isolated rock they can still communicate with regularly, so after the scientists are done with her, River and the Operative get a moon with a view. It's been terra formed with the absolute basics and that's it. The only tech will be on the Operative's lab ship. There is nowhere for her to run unless she steals it and leaves him there. The lab ship has been modified to contain her but River can think her way out of anything.
Naturally she spends much of her time there trying to kill him and escape. They wind up playing cat and mouse across a fairly temperate rural landscape. He's forced to outthink a mad genius and she's forced to butt heads with a kind of absolute sociopathic determination she's not really equipped to deal with.
When he's forced to physically restrain her, a teenage girl (18+ obvs) his little psychic gets more insights she's not prepared for, namely what the Operative finds himself wanting to do to this pretty little weapon of mass destruction. It's been a long while since the Operative was troubled by such appetites. He knew he couldn't forge a specialist career in such a trusted position as lone operative, without turning his back firmly on his misspent youth. River's highly fluctuating vulnerability and her slight build just bring the predator roaring out of him, however. He's secluded with the power of life or death over her. If she can't be worked with, he'll kill her and leave her to rot on that moon. He's not going to admit failure unless he absolutely has to, of course.
The Operative tries to limit himself to psychological sadism, mockery and corrosion of River's self worth/confidence. The Operative is one of the few people single minded and skilled enough at compartmentalisation to be able to lie to River. When he's forced to chase her down through dense woodland however, River falls victim to a savage, truly primal rape. After that he decides that the simplest way to get her obedience may be as primal and unevolved as good, old fashioned subjugation. What he's not prepared for is how suffering at the hands of blue has unwittingly rewired River into the kind of creature that can 'enjoy' sexual, physical and psychological masochism.

Finally, his unconscious was requested to take us back to one minute before the very first time that this reaction had taken place. He described the following story.
"I'm about three years old and my father is asking me if I would like to go for a ride to visit my grandfather in the country. I am sitting next to him in the car, and we are riding past many fields and farmhouses."
"We are pulling into the driveway of my grandfather's house."
At this point Bob began to show signs of fear: his forehead wrinkled and his eyelids fluttered furiously.
"What do you see right there?"
"I see many bales of hay piled up in the yard. In front of them is a red tractor. Standing next to the tractor is something that looks like a man but is very frightening. It is dressed from head to toe in a grey suit, and instead of a head there is a huge cylindrical metal mask with a glass plate where the eyes should be. In its hand it's holding the end of a long wire coming from a machine making lots of noise. From the end of this instrument there is a blinding light."
At this point Bob began to cry and to show signs of great fear.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I think it's a monster with a death ray, and I'm hiding on the floor of the car. My father, grandfather, and the other men around are laughing at me. I feel very embarrassed, alone, and frightened."
Bob's signs of fear became even stronger.
"What's happening now?"
"My father and grandfather are opening the door of the car and they are dragging me out and calling me a coward and laughing at me. They are forcing me to look at the monster next to the bales of hay."
At this point the tears were running freely from Bob's eyes, and his nose had begun to discharge large quantities of mucus. His face over the area of his sinuses was red.
After erasing the image it was possible for Bob to become completely relaxed and to realize, with his adult mind, that what he was seeing was simply a man welding two parts of a tractor together. As a child his unconscious had picked up the tension and incoherency in the eye and nasal areas and attacked the protein molecules of the surrounding hay; thus his hay fever 'had begun.
Following a few days of reconditioning himself to various memories of reactions to hay, as well as various memories of feeling embarrassed and forsaken by people who loved him, his hay fever almost completely disappeared. His mind had been allowed to review a period of irrational fear and to reconstruct the memory along rational lines so that there was little need for the production of antibodies against hay protein.
Similar explorations and results have been obtained with allergies to food as well as to physical contact with various substances. Explorations focusing on attacks of sinusitis have produced similar findings and results. In each case a situation of high emotional tension was associated originally with the contact of a certain portion of the body with a foreign substance. Of course not everyone who has has a high degree of tension in a hay field will develop an allergy to hay. Whether this happens depends also upon the person's genetic makeup, emotional history, past contacts with this molecule, prior tension-producing events, and so on.

Our story
Our story is very simple and it begins with my father Primo,sharecropper.born in 1920,who after the second world war began to show particularly interest,and passion, for viticulture.
In those years, he bagan to replace grapevine and the elm with vineyards and specialized installations to produce grapes of exceptional quality.
His work ranged over all the city (Reggio Emilia) and sourroundings...expecially on lowland,also if he knew that the best quality was obteined on the hills.
Over the years we have selected varieties and clones to obtain grapes of "grand cru".

A few years ago, I wrote a sort of free verse - poem of sorts - that expresses it the best way I have been able to so far. I don't remember sharing that poem publicly before now. Maybe it was because I didn't think it would stand alone without explanation, and I wasn't ready to write the explanation. Maybe I wasn't ready to humble myself by sharing that pain and confusion.
When I graduated from high school, I had a car of my own; my part time job had turned into a full time job as soon as summer came; and at the end of June, I rented my own apartment. My middle name was responsible, and I was flying high.
I had also decided I wanted to become a Catholic, and I was just waiting to receive instructions, so I could come into the Church. But in the meantime, my Catholic friend's mother had read a book about the changes in the Mass, and how "awful" those changes were; and I read it and believed it, along with my friend.
Then she got introduced to a group that was traveling around the country, giving talks. My friend and I went to hear them. A really nice, upbeat lady, who traveled with them, suggested we go to a ten day seminar coming up in August in Idaho. She said, with such enthusiasm, you can go to Mass every day. Well, I hated to ask for time off work; but when I was growing up I had always loved church camp, and I decided to go, and my friend did too. I asked for the time off, and my boss graciously gave it to me.
When we arrived, the first thing they did was take our watches. I was very uncomfortable with that. (Imagine someone taking your phone for ten days...and you didn't know ahead of time). I had been wearing a watch pretty much all the time since I was in third grade.
We had Mass, as promised. It was offered by a retired priest who, I later learned, was senile and had no idea what this group really stood for.
Most of the rest of the time we spent listening to the leader, Francis Schuckardt, talk about how awful the changes in the Church were, how awful the world was, how no one who seemed to be in the Church was really Catholic any more. He would rant, "All the bishops are apostates, and anyone who follows an apostate bishop is ipso facto excommunicated!" Salvation was only with him and his group. Sitting here, writing it, I feel very foolish. Sitting there for hours on end, not knowing meal time from sleeping time from listening time, and it felt like mostly it was listening time, all I could feel was darkness and despair.
And so, when the ten days were over, we had to stay with the group. It wasn't a decision, consciously made; it just was. It was desperation and it was fear. It was...I can think of no other word but craziness. We couldn't go home, except to say good-bye and get a few of our things because, out there, in the world (oh, am I really saying this publicly?)...out there in the world there were all these "humanoids and possessed persons", and we were in grave danger. If you hear something enough times, over and over, you can begin to believe it. And there were all these respectable adults who believed it, so why not us?
Here's the verse I scribbled down a few years ago:
Here's the verse I scribbled down a few years ago:
Ten Day Seminar:
Our watches gone,
Time dragging on.
"The wicked world is dangerous!
Be safe with us."
Endless listening to
Endless ranting.
Free time – one time.
Time alone, with God.
"What should I do?"
"Keep My commandments."
Moment of connection.
Moment of sanity.
Cling to the connection.
Cling to the sanity.
Our watches gone,
Time dragging on.
"The wicked world is dangerous!
Be safe with us."
Endless listening to
Endless ranting.
Connection fading.
Sanity sliding.
Endless time ending.
Watches returned, intact,
But broken to our needs;
Our spirits broken, like their usefulness.
Time to go home,
Yet not home, to the world,
Where dangers lurk
And devils dwell.

Not only are we growing rapidly as a result of the acquisitions we have completed since this time one year ago, including Lighthouse Placement Services and The JM Group, we are also showing strong organic growth of over 14% year over year."
Summary of the Fiscal First Quarter Ended August 31, 2016
* A table has been included in this press release reconciling net loss to Adjusted EBITDA.
"Our metrics are improving on almost every front, especially our bottom line," Mr. Flood continued. "We posted our strongest Adjusted EBITDA result in our Company's history - $1.8 million for the quarter ended August 2016. This puts us on a trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA of $5.3 million, exceeding our prior year results for the same period by over 200%. We are pleased with the progress we have made and the stage we are setting for future growth."
Analysis of Financial Results
As a result of the Company's numerous acquisitions and strong organic growth, revenues increased to $47.8 million in the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2016, compared to $35.9 million for the same period in 2015. Gross profit increased to over $8.5 million, compared to $6.3 million for the same period in 2015. This represents gross margin of 17.8% compared to 17.6% respectively.
The Company's net loss for the quarter ended August 31, 2016 was $1.3 million, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million for the same period in 2015. The net loss was attributable primarily to non-cash accounting charges, as well as professional, legal, capital raising and other non-recurring expenses.
"This has been a significant quarter for Staffing 360 Solutions," stated David Faiman, Chief Financial Officer. "We achieved operating profit for the first time in our history, we are realizing economies of scale, and we are continuing to improve our balance sheet. In Q1 2017, our working capital deficiency improved by approximately $500,000 and stockholder's equity increased from $7.5 million to $8.2 million in the current quarter. We have also improved debt levels with the equity we have raised through our S-3 registration statement. We now have $5.3 million of trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA compared to $9.7 million of net debt, resulting in a 1.9x leverage ratio."
Other Highlights of the Fiscal First Quarter and Subsequent Events
"Staffing 360 Solutions continues to grow at a record pace," said Matt Briand, President and CEO. "Both our M&A activity, as well as our strong operational improvements from our business units have driven our results higher. Although expanding over 30% overall is impressive, delivering 14% organic growth year over year is a significant achievement. We have boosted growth by winning several new annual contracts in the consumer goods, education and beverage industries, which are expected to show more impact over the coming quarters."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses financial measures which are not calculated and presented in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in evaluating its financial and operational decision making regarding potential acquisitions, as well as a means to evaluate period-to period comparison. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes them to be an important supplemental measure of performance that is commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. We refer you to the reconciliations below.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (or loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and amortization of non-cash stock-based compensation, non-recurring acquisition and restructuring expenses and goodwill impairment charges.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed within this press release are forward-looking statements including, but not limited to the timing and ability to enter into any additional acquisitions and expand our business, as well as the size of future revenue or trading volume or future access to capital markets. Although Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained. Specifically, in order for the Company to achieve annualized revenues of $300 million, the Company will need to successfully raise sufficient capital, to consummate additional target acquisitions, successfully integrate any newly acquired companies, organically grow its business, successfully defend any potential future litigation, as well as various additional contingencies, many of which are unknown at this time and generally out of the Company's control. The Company can give no assurance that it will be able to achieve these objectives. Staffing 360 Solutions does not undertake any duty to update any statements contained herein (including any forward-looking statements), except as required by law. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include general industry considerations, regulatory changes, changes in local or national economic conditions, our ability to access the capital markets on terms acceptable to us, or at all, our ability to comply with our contractual covenants, including in respect of our debt and other risks detailed from time to time in Staffing 360 Solutions' reports filed with the SEC, including quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, reports on Form 8-K and annual reports on Form 10-K.
* During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company reclassified certain banking fees, previously reported within Loss from Operations, to Interest Expense for all quarters during the fiscal 2016 year. Adjusted EBITDA has changed as a result, based on these historical adjustments.
** Includes amortization included within Other Income / (Expenses).

Make the frosting: Put the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth; let cool slightly. Beat the butter, vanilla and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the melted white chocolate and beat until combined. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar until smooth.
Assemble the cake: Place 1 cake layer on a platter; spread 1 cup frosting on top and sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped cookies. Top with the second cake layer. Cover the whole cake with the remaining frosting, then press the remaining cookies into the sides.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch-round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper; butter the parchment and dust the pans with flour, tapping out the excess.
Whisk 3 cups flour, the baking powder and salt in a bowl until combined. Beat 2 sticks butter and the sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium; beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. (The mixture may look separated at this point.)
Mix 1/2 cup water with the cream in a liquid measuring cup or bowl. Beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the cream mixture, beginning and ending with flour, until just smooth.
Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake until the cakes are lightly golden on top and the centers spring back when pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn the cakes out onto the racks to cool completely. Remove the parchment. Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level, if desired.

Steven Spielberg Talked About Jurassic Park 4 Again
"It's on the schedule," he says. Right after, y'know, Lincoln, War Horse, and The Adventures of Tintin.
In an ultrabrief sit-down with ComingSoon.net, Steven Spielberg said of the long- and slow-buzzed Jurassic Park 4: "I haven't been active in the last year because I've been so busy obviously on War Horse, Tintin and now I'm currently shooting Lincoln, but right now, it's on the schedule to bring out another Jurassic Park."
Spielberg wouldn't state whether the new flick would be a reboot or a sequel; that's "just another boring secret," apparently. Regardless, rest assured that Terra Nova won't be your only dino fix forever and ever. (Also: If Jurassic Park 4 doesn't drop until 2013, that'll be twenty years after the original. Whoa.)

The Jonas Brothers Are Demi Lovato Lovers
The Jonas Brothers team up with Demi Lovato to shoot some stills for an album cover while in London on Tuesday.
After 2008 MTV VMAs host Russell Brand made fun of the Jonas Brothers for their purity rings, they paid a visit to Radio 1 in London and responded with grace, having nothing negative to say about the comedian despite his jokes.
After their visit to Radio 1, the brothers met up with Demi Lovato for their photo shoot. The photo shoot took place around Soho and the World Famous 'Eros" Statue.

Here is a picture of her crib before Robert transformed it into the "big girl" bed... looking at it still makes me tear up!
The fun is just beginning...
So far Kendyll has been following the "big girl" bed rules: no jumping on it at bedtime, do not get out of bed, when you wake up call for momma, and you can not call for momma unless it is daylight out. One incident to report. Early Monday morning, at 4:30, Kendyll was calling for me. "MOMMA" I heard through the monitor.
I race to her door and say, "What's the matter?"
"HELP!" she screams.
"Where are you?"
"I stuck!"
I run over to her bed and she somehow managed to get herself turned around in the middle of the night. Her head is down at the end of her bed, stuck under her covers because the side rails have her covers tight on each side of the bed. I pull back the comforter, and only see her feet kicking to get out. After I pulled her out, she told me that she was "hiding" (not sure why) and she got stuck down there. That night I was a little worried about putting her to bed, but she wasn't afraied of getting stuck again. Phew! Crisis averted.

Mahi Mahi Suite - Reader Reports & Opinion
Guest Report
Mrs J Williams from U.S.A. visited in May 2012 and awarded
We stayed at Mahi Mahi for just one week after meeting up with dear friends from Australia. We all enjoyed our stay at Mahi Mahi so much. The accommodations are very well kept, modern, clean, plenty of facilities in the kitchen. The bathrooms were spacious and spotless. Plenty of towels for both beach and apartment. The views from the balcony were stunning. A short walk through the garden gave us access to a wonderful beach. Very quiet for the most part, except for passing vehicles with loud stereo systems. Snorkeling right there with beautiful fish and coral. Warm clean sea and sand. We witnessed a leatherback turtle laying her eggs on the beach one evening. Easy walking distance to local grocery, restaurants, roadside fruit and veg and ATM. We even managed to work out how to use the excellent bus services. Buy a ticket from a lovely elderly lady next to the shops. Accomodations very reasonably priced for the excellent quality. Can easily accommodate 6 people. Cooking and BBQ facilities right there. We even had a local home cooked meal provided for us by one of the staff on request. Definitely a little piece of paradise!
Guest Report
D Layne from Trinidad visited in May 2012 and awarded
The pictures on the website dont do this place justice.
The rhythmic roll of the waves pounding the shore lulled me to sleep during the days and nights I spent at the Mahi Mahi Suite.
The balcony overlooked the soft blue-green water of the Grafton beach and the sky beyond and every evening we were treated to a dazzling sunset display, with the changing yellow and orange colours of the sunset breaking in between the clouds and illuminating the waters.
This place was beautiful. Quite frankly it was my most expensive stay ever in Tobago, but because I had worked so hard, I felt like I deserved a treat and that is precisely what I got. From the moment we walked inside, the impressive sense of space, colour coordination, beauty, lighting, fixtures & fittings took my breath away. The doors stretched up about 10 feet into the air. These were the doors to the bedrooms and for the Master bedroom, the double doors opened to reveal a King size bed with a second set double doors then leading to the Master bath. Which had Double sinks, Jacuzzi, separate shower, and walk in closet.
Oh, I was in my glee! The Kitchen was just as advertised a chefs dream! I baked a corn pie there on the last night of our stay and I swear it came out better there, than when I bake that at home. It must have been the convection oven. What I liked too was the lush greenery you could see from almost all the angles of the property. The beauty of this place was almost surreal. And from our balcony, we could also get a good view of the fishermen pulling in their nets every morning, except Sunday, and by 1am, they were usually done and gone.
The patio furniture was very comfortable, too comfy in fact for my one complaint was the frequent visits of the four legged feline who liked sleeping on the patio furniture. And there are rules against pets! If only they were followed, everything would have been perfect, but alas even though I did spend some time chasing her away, it didnt dissolve the feeling of euphoria I had when I left. This place was really divine.

Lesley from Trinidad visited in June 2011 and awarded
From the moment of our arrival, we were wrapped in a cocoon of safety and comfort. The apartment itself is luxurious with comfortable beds in every room. As it was only two of us, the master bedroom and bath was more than spacious for our needs. The kitchen and gas BBQ grill were a dream to cook with. Nothing beats waking up to the sound of the surf every morning coupled with the noiseless comfort of the A/C unit. The pictures on the website do not do this apartment sufficient justice. The pool was a bit on the high-chlorine side but although it seems small it a deep and shallow enough for different levels of swimmers. We had a great time at Mahi Mahi and cannot wait to return!
Guest Report
A.James from Trinidad visited in September 2010 and awarded
I stayed here for a weekend to celebrate my birthday and we had a fabulous time. In fact before we left we were trying to decide when we should return.
However, in the interests of being a balanced reviewer I will list the pros and cons of the place.
Mahi Mahi is exactly as advertised, what you see on the website is exactly what you get. It's on the beach, the rooms are immaculate, the pool is a little small but because of the way it's designed you don't mind once you're in it. It really is perfection, if you're looking for a quiet relaxing, vacation. The WI-FI was a big bonus for us as well. Everything we used in the kitchen worked so even though we didn't cook it was great to have the option.
Seahorse Inn and Restaurant is literally 2 mins walk from the property, because it was low season they only served dinner, but the food we had was great.
Buccaneers Beach bar was a nice enough spot to have lunch but the menu was rather limited. It's almost opposite Seahorse Inn though so it's a really convenient stop.
The beds in the second and third bedroom are a little narrow However, the beds were extremely comfortable so it wasn't much of a negative.
We chose Mahi Mahi because we thought we wouldn't need a car due to the proximity to the beach and restaurants, but in truth we probably would have had a better time with one. In general I recommend renting a car in Tobago otherwise your options are really limited. Unless of course you're doing guided tours etc.
There was some bad weather off Trinidad which made the beach rather choppy. Although it was still swimmable, as we aren't strong swimmers we chose to stay in the pool and just walk on the beach occasionally. However I suppose this is a risk if you're travelling in hurricane season, no matter where you stay. And even with the swells the view from the balcony was still amazing.
All in all we had a great time and I'd recommend this place to anyone interested in a nice quiet relaxing vacation, with all the amenities of home.

Rottnest Island is a former prison island that is about 19km or 12 miles from Perth, Australia. Noted as one of the biggest dive sites in Australia it has over 100 different sub dive sites within it. There is a great array of limestone over hangings, various wrecks and even a sunken grotto which can be found in the Fishhook Bay area. There are no cars allowed on the island so you will need to rent cycles to get around. You will also need to rent all of your diving gear which is available from one of the many stores on the island. A visitor map will suggest to you a range of trails to ride on that will lead you from one dive site to another. Your private sea garden is just a quick journey away and you will easily see why Rottnest Island is such a tempting place to visit since it has so much to offer.

Dolls Prams
A classic doll stroller offers excellent comfort for both doll and mother of the doll. The cot area usually comes with a comfortable mattress and a wind cover, so that the dolly or teddy can lay down in a soft, protected area in the carrycot. For the 'mummy' there is a storage basket for her to store spare clothes for the doll or other small toys for later. The stroller's large, sprung wheels guarantee a quiet journey.
More info for you
1. A must for all doll mums
Whether doll or teddy - from a certain age, most children love playing mum and dad. The dolls and teddies are the children, for whom the "parents" take responsibility. Of course, all doll parents take their "kids" along when going for a walk, shopping or to the playground - in the pram, or more precisely: the doll's pram.
2. Advantages for child development
In pretend play with dolls, teddies and doll's prams, children can explore their role within the family. Here, the little ones can pretend to be grownups for a change. For children, it's important to have a doll's pram that is easy to manage, easy to push and nice and agile. Realistic features are less important to most children. Of course, safety is top of the list of priorities. Everything else depends on the wishes of the doll's mum or dad.
3. What to consider before buying
The choice of different models and types is enormous - every child surely knows exactly what they want the new doll's pram to be like. Here's a brief overview of the most common doll's pram categories:
- Doll's pram travel system
- the complete set for little doll's parents. Just like with a real pram travel system, these doll's prams are usually pram and buggy in one. Sometimes they include further accessories, such as a diaper bag.
- Doll's buggies
- the compact version of the doll's pram. These models are great if you want to transport the doll's pram by car or if space for storing the doll's pram is at a premium.
- Wooden doll's pram or walker
a combination of walker and doll's pram. These models are ideal for very small doll's parents.
- Double doll's pram
- children often want a double doll's pram if twins are born in the family or a friend's family. Or they are practically minded doll's parents who simply need space for all their dolls and teddies in the pram at once.
- Tandem doll's pram
the same principle as the double doll's pram - but the difference is that it comes in handy if a smaller sibling is born at home.
- Doll's pram basket
the nostalgic version. These are particularly pretty and best for use indoors.
- 3 wheel doll's jogger
the sporty version among the 3-wheel doll's prams.
4. Timing: When is the best time to buy?
The best time to purchase a doll's pram depends on which type you want to get: a wooden doll's pram or walker can be purchased when your child is around one year old, to help him or her learn to walk. A tandem pram may make a good present for an older sibling when a younger baby is born.

Honda profit surges on sales recovery
TOKYO -- Honda's quarterly profit surged nearly 63 percent as production recovered after disruptions from natural disasters.
The Japanese automaker reported a 77.4 billion yen ($850 million) profit for the October-December period Thursday, as sales jumped nearly 25 percent to 2.4 trillion yen ($26 billion).
All the Japanese automakers are seeing a dramatic recovery from the quake and tsunami in northeastern Japan in 2011. Honda was also hurt by flooding in Thailand in late 2011.
The automakers are also reporting solid sales increases in the key U.S. market and in Asian countries such as India and Indonesia. The exception is China where anti-Japanese sentiment flared up last year over a territorial dispute.
Honda reported quarterly sales growth in all key global regions as well as in its motorcycle business.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Salt the water, add the pasta and cook to al dente. Heads up: Remove and reserve 1 cup of cooking water just before draining.
Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and saute until deeply browned and tender, 12 to 15 minutes, adding the garlic, thyme, and sage midway through the cooking. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper, to taste, and a little freshly grated nutmeg. Deglaze the pan with the Marsala and stir for 30 seconds. Stir in the cream, (or if you prefer, top the pasta with a dollop of ricotta at serving time). Stir in the reserved pasta cooking water, about 1 cup if using ricotta, and just enough to thin out the sauce to your liking if using cream.
Drain the pasta and toss with sauce, parsley, and cheese. Transfer the pasta to a serving bowls and top each with a dollop of ricotta, if using, for mixing into the fettuccine as you eat.

X-Men: Pixie Strikes Back #1
- Story by
- Kathryn Immonen
- Art by
- Sara Pichelli
- Colors by
- Christina Strain
- Letters by
- Dave Sharpe
- Cover by
- Sara Pichelli
- Publisher
- Marvel Comics
Kathryn Immonen's "Hellcat" limited series a while back was an unexpectedly poppy, upbeat piece of work, criminally overlooked. So, following a similarly overlooked stint on "Runaways," it's good to see the writer back in the saddle with a more commercial limited series, bound to expose her unique style to a new bunch of readers.
The series opens with various girls from the New Mutants transplanted into an alternate-reality-style high school setting. Immediately, things look odd to the reader, but it takes a while for that to bleed through into the story. The first half of the issue is played as a rather straight mutanthood-as-high school politics allegory, though Immonen's skill means that even deprived of their signature powers, the characters come through strong – the switchblade wielding bad-girl that is X-23, for example.
Later, it becomes more apparent that things aren't what they seem, and the series justifies its "X-Men" title by featuring Psylocke and Nightcrawler. Although, at this point, the cast is so well-rounded that one wonders whether it's really a Pixie miniseries at all. However, one thing that suggests that the character will be slightly less marginalized in future issues is that the issue attempts to give Pixie a new back story.
There's the briefest of nods to the character's previously portrayed past (as seen in 2008's FCBD issue of "X-Men") but only to placate the continuity obsessives. Like, for example, me. Beyond that, it's full steam ahead as a woman (and, dare we say, witch?) claiming to be Pixie's mother shows up on Utopia. If we're being honest, it's a far more interesting spin on the character, even though I've found the marriage of mutancy and magic to be a rather fraught one at the best of times.
One of the reasons Pixie has been steadily growing in popularity is that the character's visual is rather more striking than many of her peers. The fairy wings, pink hair and dark eyes make her as iconic as any of the "classic" X-Men, and Sara Pichelli does the character justice with her artwork. Indeed, all the characters.
In Immonen and Pichelli, Marvel have managed to find a fantastic creative team (and, letterer aside, an all-female at that) with a distinctive and original take on the X-Men. Compared to the rather dour and homogenous feeling most of the line has at the moment, this can't help but stand out. It might not have an event to piggyback on, but it is, undoubtedly, a worthwhile purchase for all current X-fans.

Today I'm going to show you one of the coolest finds ive come across thanks to Soundcloud and DJPixcell (for giving me this EP). The EP is called Weekend and its by a Progressive Dance/House/Tribal Artist named Mario Ayuda. His newest EP is a real treat and i assure you, this will be one of the rare times where i will post an EP so enjoy it fools!
The Original Track, Weekend, starts off in a drum like fashion, something you would see in some of deadmau5's more progressive tracks/remixes. Then the main synth comes in slowly and when it pops up,it gives an aura of stunning beauty and resonance. I would say this track sounds like the lovechild of armin van buuren and Pryda. It has a trance like feel,but still retains a progressive house jam to it. Its awesome. Nuff said.

The next and last two tracks are remixes of Weekend but dont let that fool you: theyre very good remixes.
The Sceleton Remix takes the already awesome track and pushes it up a level by giving an electronic edge to it,making it feel a bit grittier and danceable. Youll love it.
Mario Ayuda - Weekend (Sceleton Remix)
And finally we have the Sonic Division Remix. This track has more of a progressive trance feel, slightly speeding the track up and rewiring the track with different beats. Its spectacular if you ask me.

Making family dysfunction appear charming isn't easy. Just ask the nearest Gosselin.
Of course, reality-TV stars-turned-villains Jon and Kate didn't have Oscar nominee Andy Garcia ("The Godfather: Part III") and perennial Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Julianna Margulies ("ER," "The Good Wife") to show them how to make nice.
If they had, their tabloid-ready lives might have ended up seeming closer to the pleasant surprise of "City Island," a tiny but warm dramatic comedy that manages to spin dysfunction into embraceable quirkiness.
At the center of writer-director Raymond De Felitta's film, set on and named after a patch of the Bronx stranded in Long Island Sound (who knew?) are Vinny and Joyce Rizzo, played by Garcia and Margulies. They're also the fuel that makes the movie go.
Vinny is a New Yorker through and through, a tough, straight-talking prison guard who don't take no guff off nobody -- except from Joyce, his tougher, straighter-talking wife, and the bada-bing to Vin's bada-boom.
"She's kind of a hurricane," Vinny says.
They've got a nice, tidy house on the island, they've got two teenage kids, and they've got a marriage that has devolved into something resembling a roommate situation more than the loving partnership it once was.
They've also got secrets. All of the Rizzos do, in fact.
College-age daughter Vivian (Dominik Garcia-Lorido) is hiding the fact that she's lost her scholarship and has consequently taken to stripping to cover tuition. Teenage son Vince Jr. -- played by the appealing, Justin Long-like newcomer Ezra Miller, one of the film's nicest surprises -- is hiding his attraction to obese women.
Joyce is hiding her smoking habit (oblivious to the fact that Vinny is doing the same thing).
And Vinny, well, he's got the biggest secret -- two of them, to be precise. First, there's the fact that he's taking acting classes on the sly, harboring dreams of becoming the next Marlon Brando.
Second, and more importantly, he's got an adult son (Steven Strait) from a previous marriage whom no one in his current family knows about. And he's an ex-con. Who has suddenly taken up residence in the family boathouse.
Clearly, Vinny's got some explaining to do, but he waits until the last possible minute, transforming the inevitable third-act revelations in De Felitta's story into a farcical (and potentially lethal) whirlwind.
It's become a cliche to compare thoughtful indie charmers to 2006's come-out-of-nowhere Best Picture nominee "Little Miss Sunshine" -- so much so that I roll my eyes every time I see that comparison in a film's publicity literature. This time, though, I can't help but indulge in that comparison myself. "City Island" is that sweet, that rooted in reality and that enjoyable.
There's a certain triteness to the overarching message -- secrets will keep us apart, and the truth will set us free -- but the kind of sweetness and earnestness that's on display in "City Island" makes such quibbles easy to forgive. In fact, it makes a lot easy to forgive.
You listening, Jon and Kate?

ECJ Advocate General opinions
Opinion of 12 December 2002 providing material for the 2003 ECJ judgment
Opinion of 6 December 2007 providing material for the 2008 ECJ judgment
State aid; interpretation of Article 87(1)
Article numbers refer to the 1997 consolidated version of the EC Treaty.
The Chronopost case was a long drawn-out piece of litigation about the applicability of Article 87(1) to arrangements whereby Chronopost, an express parcels delivery company which is a subsidiary of the French State post office organisation La Poste, was given access to La Poste's national network. The question is whether this access, which is an advantage given specifically to Chronopost out of the State resource that is the La Poste network, was State aid.
On 1 October 2007, the Commission found that there was no State aid.
Ufex and other competitors of Chronopost appealed, and the CFI supported them and on 14 December 2000 annulled the Commission finding that there was no State aid.
Chronopost, La Poste and France appealed the CFI judgment and the ECJ agreed with them on 3 July 2003. It annulled the CFI decision on the grounds that the CFI had erred in law in setting out the relevant test for the existence of State aid, and referred the matter back to the CFI.
On 7 June 2006 the CFI annulled the Commission decision again, this time on the grounds of lack of reasoning and because the Commission had been wrong to disregard the value of goodwill in the transfer of Postadex (including a customer database) from La Poste to Chronopost.
On 1 July 2007 the ECJ annulled the CFI's new decision and definitely restored the Commission's finding of no aid.
The erroneous test proposed by the CFI
At paragraph 68, the CFI considered that the principle that a transaction has no State aid element if it is on normal market terms could be applied to the assistance provided by La Poste (as an arm of the State) to Chronopost (as the undertaking allegedly in receipt of State aid). Specifically, the CFI held at paragraph 75 that the relevant concept of "normal" market terms entailed a comparison with "a private holding company or a private group of undertakings not operating in a reserved sector". The CFI quashed the Commission's decision because it failed to apply this test in order to identify whether there was State aid.
The ECJ's rejection of the CFI test and determination of the correct test
The ECJ found that the CFI has erred in law in using a test based on comparisons with normal market conditions, because La Poste's network, built to meet non-commercial public service requirements and on the basis of a reserved sector, was too dissimilar to a commercial network to enable the comparisons in the CFI's test. Paragraph 38 of the ECJ judgment notes the "absence of any possibility" of using the CFI's test.
Instead, the ECJ held (paragraphs 39-40) that the relevant test was whether Chronopost had been charged on an objectively rational basis for no less than the costs that its use of the network had caused.

Gloria Levesque was on a family vacation when the rented Ford Expedition she was riding in rolled over, crushing the roof.
At the time Levesque was a schoolteacher with one of the Montessori schools. Today she can no longer work.
"I ended up having a spinal cord injury, and I'm partially paralyzed," said Levesque.
The rental vehicle was not equipped with optional electronic stability control. Had it been installed and working properly, electronic stability control (ESC) could have prevented the rollover.
According to attorney Brian Chase, who settled Levesque's lawsuit against Ford Motor Company and the rental-car company Enterprise, ESC could have been purchased for just a few hundred dollars.
"If they can ... rent a car rather without seatbelts, and seatbelts were an optional item, they'd do that," said Chase. "There's no other explanation other than they make money buying cars cheaper. Cars are cheaper without safety items."
Cally Houck's two daughters, Raechel, 24, and Jacqueline, 20, rented a PT Cruiser from Enterprise Rent-A-Car. At the time the vehicle was under a safety recall for a power-steering problem, but it had not been fixed. In fact, it had been rented at least three times before the Houck sisters got it. Near Santa Cruz, the power-steering fluid leaked and then ignited.
"The car caught fire, Raechel lost her ability to control the car, it plowed into an 18-wheeler and burst into a ball of flames on impact," said Cally Houck. "Raechel and Jaquie were gone immediately."
In a lawsuit, Enterprise admitted liability and Houck was awarded $15 million in damages, which she says is nothing compared to losing her daughters.
Unlike car dealers who are required by federal law not to sell any vehicles under a safety recall until fixed, rental-car companies, the single largest purchaser of new vehicles and the single largest source of used cars, have no such requirement.
Senator Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) have introduced a bill to require the rental-car industry to follow the same rules as car dealers.
In a committee meeting on the subject Boxer said, "A former Enterprise manager in San Francisco testified in a deposition. This is what he said: 'When demand called, we rented out recalled vehicles. If all you have are recalled vehicles on the lot, you rent them out. It was a given.' For me, it is a no-brainer, and I hope we can resolve it."
Hertz Rent-a-Car agrees with Boxer and is backing the Senate bill. But privately owned Enterprise, which also owns Alamo and National rental car companies and is the largest rental car company in the country, is not in favor of the bill at all.
Enterprise's website says: "We maintain a team of senior executives to review recalls when the manufacturer recommends an interim measure. From time to time, we may elect to use that interim solution to avoid stranding many travelers for no reason."
Eyewitness News did try to get an on-camera interview with Enterprise, but the company declined, and sent a statement instead: "Today, our customers can rest assured that we have the operating procedures and policies in place to ensure that the vehicles they rent from us are properly maintained and meet the highest standards for safety."
"When you rent a car you are putting your trust in that company, that vehicle, and you life and your family's lives," said Gloria Levesque.
"I miss them every day, and I have vowed that they won't be forgotten, and they certainly will not be relegated to a statistic," said Cally Houck.
The Raechel and Jacqueline Houck Safe Rental Car Act of 2011 bill is expected to be voted on in the Senate Commerce Committee this week.
Meantime, experts say before you rent a car, ask the agent if the car has been recalled and has been fixed. Also, check to see what safety equipment is on the vehicle.
