Eating and Drinking in HCMC
On a recent visit we flew from London with Cathay Pacific to HCMC via Hong Kong. The jetlag was fairly severe so after a short sleep we headed out in search of something to eat in the early evening. On first impression there seemed a wide range of restaurants and places to eat in HCMC ranging from basic joints (boiling pots of noodles on the pavement) to fancy Vietnamese and French eateries. There are so many street cafes that it seems unlikely that anyone actually cooks at home. In general you'll find a wide range of restaurants in HCMC serving a great selection of dishes at bargain prices as well as upmarket joints offering fine International cuisine.
Although any restaurants frequented by tourists are likely to have menus
a good idea to print out a list of the names of Vietnamese food. This was a great source of fun for the locals when we tried to order dishes in Vietneamese and certainly endeared us to many waiters and waitresses. The level of English spoken always seemed just about sufficient for the job that the person was doing though at times it's very difficult to understand people who are speaking quite well because their accent is very strong.
Getting Around and Sightseeing
To visit the main tourist attractions you will need at least two full days. The main Ho Chi Minh City Attractions include the Hotel de Ville, the Reunification Palace, the Museum of Ho Chi Minh City, the War Remnants Museum, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Jade Emperor Pagoda. If you're quite adventurous it's also worthwhile taking a taxi to the Chinese district of Cholon where you can visit a number of busy pagodas and and street markets. Not many tourists head out this way so you may feel a little out of place but it's worth doing just to observe life on the streets and provided you use your common sense there's no reason to worry about heading off the beaten track.
Most of these main sights are within easy walking distance but if you want Ho Chi Minh City transport taxis are a great option as they're metred and cheap. An alternative is to take a cyclo which is quite an experience in the crazy traffic and well worth doing before the
government bans them all.
As you walk the streets you might be surprised at the amount of wealth around as top name international hotels and designer shops selling Rolex and Lacoste, etc. rub shoulders with street sellers offering little more than cigarettes and chewing
shopping in HCMC you can pick up some bargains if you're interested in good quality branded products. In Ben Thanh Market you'll find good quality Ralph Lauren polo shirts and Billabong type t-shirts very cheaply as well as excellent North Face rucksacks for a fraction of the price paid in the west. Many of the factories making these products are on the outskirts of HCMC. Nowhere
in Vietnam sells such quality branded goods as here, in fact I bought a bag in Hanoi which a week later I noticed was branded as "The North" (not "The North Face"). Ben Thanh is one of a number of markets in HCMC which is well worth a visit.
Tours From HCMC
Once you've seen the main sights you'll want to consider some Ho Chi Minh City Tours. The most popular is a half day trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels where you can see part of the 200km network of tunnels which the Viet Cong used during the American War. You can make this a full day tour by including a visit to the Cao Dai Temple in Tay Ninh on the Cambodian border. This is the home of Caodaism, a Vietnamese religion which is a combination of other major religions. Mekong Delta Tours are also popular though it's best to go for longer than one day.
If you're moving on from HCMC within Vietnam there are excellent services by bus, rail and air.
More Information About Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam's reputedly worst city for street crime but don't be paranoid. Our hotel porter warned us to be careful everytime we left the hotel yet we never felt threatened and didn't see any incidents. It seems that
Vietnam hotel , Excellently situated within easy reach of all Hanoi's main attractions, Vietnam hotel welcomes you with timeless elegance, warmth and immaculate style. Established in 2010, our hotel quickly has been drawn recognition for its service and we have been very proud to boast one of the highest rates of recurring guests in the city. Combining elegant Vietnamese charm with seductive modern touches, 40 guest rooms offer you great comfort, refined style and a wide range of amenities and services that take care of your daily, recreational and business needs. Vietnam hotel definitely is an oasis for corporate and leisure travelers offering the "True Vietnam Experience." A hotel is an establishment that provides lodging paid on a short-term basis. Facilities provided may range from a basic bed and storage for clothing, to luxury features like en-suite bathrooms. Larger hotels may provide additional guest facilities such as a swimming pool, business center, childcare, conference facilities and social function services. Hotel rooms are usually numbered to allow guests to identify their room.
most common crimes are the same as in any large urban area frequented by tourists: bag snatching, pickpocketing and property theft from bars and restaurants. Actual physical harm seems to be unheard of. Just be careful and you'll be fine.
Traffic is a nightmare all over Ho Chi Minh City and the worst place must be the roundabout outside the Ben Thanh Market. Your lasting memory of this city will be the sheer quantity of motorbikes on the roads and guess what … they never stop at a pedestrian crossing! Watch how the locals cross the road before you even attempt it. It's simply a question of keeping moving slowly forward without making any sudden rash movements, this way any motorbikes will go around you.
Ho Chi Minh city airport transfer
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) Airport lies 7km northwest of the city.
Arriving in Asia can be quite a culture shock for travelers who haven't visited the region before. However, on arriving at Ho Chi Minh City Airport for the first time be pleasantly surprised at how modern the airport terminal is and how the ground vehicles all look new and efficient.
A Vietnam Visa is required to land in Vietnam (available through embassies abroad) or a "letter of introduction" from a tour agent, however, at the time of writing it is also necessary to fill in an arrivals-departure card. On some incoming flights this card is distributed on board otherwise you'll need to get hold of one in the arrivals lounge before joining the queue to pass through immigration.
The staff are quite meticulous in checking your paperwork so make sure you've filled in the arrival-departure card correctly. If everything is in order they'll stamp your passport and you can then proceed to collect your luggage. Any mistakes and they'll send you back to correct them.
Hanoi Transfer Service offers a/c cars and friendly licensed drivers for transfers from the airport to your hotel, and from your hotel back to the airport at the best prices.
Usually, there are 3 kinds of vehicles: 4-seater cars for maximum 3 passengers, 7-seater for maximum 5 passengers and 16-seater for maximum 11 passengers. ( this to allow room for your luggage ).
Ho Chi Minh City Airport Transfers
Tan Son Nhat International airport is Vietnam's largest international airport, both by area and number of passengers and is located in the city of Ho Chi Minh. If you are planning a trip to Vietnam, then you are, no doubt, aware of the large amount of scams you will need to watch out for whilst on your travels. Many of the scams operating in Vietnam are associated with taxi cabs, with many bewildered tourists being robbed, overcharged or otherwise harmed simply in the process of getting from A to B.
Get your Vietnam trip off to a safe and reliable start by pre-booking an affordable, trustworthy airport taxi with HolidayTaxis.com. One of our friendly, professional drivers will be waiting at the airport to take you directly to your hotel with zero stress and zero worry. And, I'm sure you'll agree, that's what you'll be hoping for, after a long flight!
Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon, is the largest city in Vietnam, as well as being the country's former capital. With everything from touristy, westernised bars and clubs, to buzzing street markets selling everything from souvenirs to delicious, freshly-made street food, Saigon really is an awesome city to visit. Along with Hanoi, the capital city, with its temples, museums and parks, there is a completely unique and eye-opening city break experience on offer in Vietnam.
However, if the bustling, crazy vibes of the city are a little too much, there is also the seaside resort of Na Trang, which not only offers superb Vietnamese beaches, but also a lively, urban atmosphere and some incredible scuba diving experiences. Then, there are the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Hoi An to enjoy, just south of Da Nang. And if you're seeking deeply authentic Vietnamese culture and heritage, head to Hue, where the weather might not be up to much, but the fascinating historical sites and beautiful sights, will!
Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam
Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) is home to some 6 million people, most of whom you will see at some point during your stay as they whiz around town on their motorbikes. The city's Tan Son Nhat Airport lies 7km north west of the city centre and is the most popular arrival point in Vietnam for international travellers. As well as long haul arrivals there are many flights to HCMC from within Asia, especially from Bangkok and Hong Kong.
Ho Chi Minh City Airport Transfers and Accommodation
Getting from Ho Chi Minh City Airport into the city couldn't be easier thanks to the official taxi service operating from a desk straight ahead of you as you enter the arrivals area. Simply pay for a ticket at the desk and you'll be lead to a waiting taxi outside.
Ho Chi Minh City VietnamMost hotels will send a driver to collect you if you contact them in advance. This offers peace of mind during a long haul flight knowing that life will be easy on arrival. On our last visit the promised driver wasn't there so we used the above taxi service for a mere $5US rather than the $14US quoted by the hotel. If you're looking for a cheaper option there's a regular airport bus into the city.
In spite of the city's size it's fairly straightforward deciding which part of the city to stay in. Travellers will most likely go to one of two areas: Dong Khoi which has mid-range accommodation or Pham Ngu Lao where you'll find most of the budget accommodation in HCMC. There are Ho Chi Minh City Hotels to suit the requirements of all visitors ranging from backpacker hostels to 5-star hotels.

Our research shows that, unlike more experienced drivers, people who are new behind the wheel dont necessarily identify these situations as being potentially dangerous, and therefore they often dont respond in the safest way possible."

Right next to 3 strip clubs. Hotel business, outside of 8 Buccaneers game days, seems to be for prostitution. Saw two roaches in the room and there was no toilet paper. Horrible place, shocked that it's still opened.
The staff gave an excellent service during our stay.
The bed sunk into wherever the heavier person laid and the other person, me, had sleep into the same sunken area. could not move anywhere else on the bed. we didn't care for the packaged breakfast, went to McDonalds instead.
I cannot say I liked anything. I have stayed in worse. I took my socks off. After walking around the room for a few minutes, the soles of my feet were filthy. I had to wash them and put my socks back on.
Location Bad service Room not very clean Ants Condition of the property - run down Front desk staff terrible
I like that when I reached there I was greeted in a nice way. After that everything was disappointing The manager mr Alex was so unprofessional when I complaint about breakfast he said that you didn't come in 5 star hotel . It was highly unprofessional the way breakfast was presented. Over all I would say I won't go there again.
It was 5 minutes from the park where we were volunteering that morning, which is why we picked this hotel We tried to check in at 2:45 and were told there would be a 5 minute wait because the computers were having issues. 30 minutes later, no one had talked to us and we were sitting where we could see the front desk. We had to leave to take care of an event. When we came back at 8:45, they were still unable to check us in for another 20 minutes. There were 4 or 5 people in line at this point, and the manager was fixing the tourist pamphlets instead of talking to any of us. When we did make it up to the desk, the front desk person checked us in with a total of 5 words. There was no good parking when we went to our room. The room itself looked like we had time traveled back to 1993. There were stains on the carpet, the nightstand drawer didn't have a handle to open it, the smoke detector's battery cover was missing, and the list goes on (we took pictures). When we checked out the next morning, it was the shortest interaction I have ever had to check out.
None Got covered in bed bug bites
It took an hour for the shuttle to pick us up at the airport which would have been fine if we were told in advance. We were told it was on its way. Called three times and asked for description of van. Front desk said it would say Howard Johnsons on the van but it said Veterans Limousine. The room was filthy and when we took the shuttle to the cruise other people were also commenting on how dirty it was. One customer said they left their luggage in the bath tub so it wouldn't touch the dirty floor. Next time I will spend a little more and get a decent room. I looked up price for uber and it is cheaper to use them to get to the cruise port than the $10 per person they charge.
Value Location to food, etc. Comfort Only paid $65 for one night and I can't complain. Beds are comfortable, toilet and shower worked, lights and refrigerator were good. Environment Old rooms, need renovation Hotel in general, needs renovation We arrived at night to check in and it was a bit intimidating. It is located right next to an abandoned restaurant of some sort, and you just get a bad vibe. While going to park, we saw two gentlemen acting strange, one seemed disoriented, as they walked from a hotel room. The rooms and hotel in general are definitely quite old. The floors were quite squeaky and the tile in the bathroom was old and the grout was cracked.
Cost was low Cigarette burn holes in the sheets. AC didnt work well. Toilet didn't flush. Shower was too dirty to even stand in.
the hair dryer worked the tv worked rug smelled of urine water was not hot the refrigerator was broken the door worked but you had to pull and push it to open and close

On November 10th, at 7 p.m., join the Monuments at 208 in Dumbo and spend the evening celebrating and remembering the vision of Kurt Vonnegut Jr. with a selection of music, art, and film inspired by Himself. Mr. Vonnegut died after a fall on April 11th, 2007.
Monuments was formed shortly after songwriter/guitarist Gabriel Berezin met drummer Mike Cook in the days following Sept 11th, 2001. Gabe was ten minutes late for his day job when the first plane crashed through his office window on the 97th floor of the World Trade Center killing his co-workers inside.

King Creosote | WIG385 | Released: 02/09/16
Astronaut Meets Appleman follows King Creosote's breakthrough record From Scotland With Love (2014) and his Mercury-nominated collaboration with Jon Hopkins, Diamond Mine (2011). It arrives replete with a chamber-rock rabble and then some: harps and bagpipes come as standard, as does silence.
The first track to be shared is the album's opener 'You Just Want'. A seven-minute piece of hymnal drone-pop, its touchstones are the art of patience, scenes of mild bondage and Venus (in Furs). LISTEN HERE.
Elsewhere on the record, 'Melin Wynt' is a lilting bagpipe-techno odyssey. KC explains "It's an anti-wind turbine song, from a place called windmill. There are no windmills there." This sense of place, disorientation and absence (in space, time, nature, hearts) underpins Astronaut Meets Appleman – most literally, perhaps, in the silence that unfolds amidst crestfallen lullaby 'Rules of Engagement'. Or, as he intones on philharmonic lament 'Faux Call', "it's the silence that somehow says it all".
The KC idiom – equal parts geometry, self-deprecation, cosmic wonder and seafaring poetry – remains intact on the forthcoming album, as does his knack for a killer couplet (see drive-pop calypso 'Love Life': "Her jealous accusations know no bounds / Scarlett Johansson was never in my house"). But there is a renewed sense of space and letting the music breathe (lead, even) on the album – all the better to showcase a stunning ensemble cast that includes Catriona McKay (harp), Mairearad Green (bagpipes), Gordon Maclean (double bass), Hannah Fisher (violin, vocals), Sorren Maclean (guitar, vocals) and Pete Harvey (cello), alongside KC's regular rock diviners, and his baby daughter Louie Wren (on ambient reverie, 'Peter Rabbit Tea').
"I wanted to push myself songwriting-wise, so I went in with hardly anything and had to wing it," KC reveals. "I wanted to try and flip the clock all the way back to sound like a younger me – or a less cynical me. In the past, I've been fixated on twisting and wrenching every line, but here I've let that go a bit, and I hope that lets you concentrate more on the music; on what's going on around it."
"I always feel I'm reaching for something, but I never get there, I wanted to get out of the usual places" KC muses, and this is reflected in the album's geography, which is more far-flung than usual. It was variously recorded at Analogue Catalogue in Ireland's County Down, An Tobar on the Isle of Mull, and Glasgow's Chem19 studios (HQ of long-time ally Paul Savage, who co-produced the LP with KC).
On Astronaut Meets Appleman, King Creosote is still upsetting apple-carts and dealing with the fallout, still appraising love and life, the moon, the stars; tide tables, bagpipe scores, zeros and ones; mathematics, ticking clocks and the beat of our hearts.

I know how an alt works...my point is, that it isn't going to do anything more than its designed to do. Charging additional batteries isn't the problem, its drawing more amps than the alt can provide, correct?
Say you have no load drawing from the alt, what limitations would it have charging multiple batteries?

IUM resurrected its yearly tradition of hiring out the miniature tourist train that normally winds its way around the streets of Monaco, and filled it with the new students and took a tour of the Principality on Friday evening.
The students dressed up in IUM t-shirts and boarded the train at 7pm, before it trundled off up to the Rock and around the palace. At one point the train was overtaken by Prince Albert in his special royal car which added an extra element of excitement for our new cohort.
It then came back down from the rock and wound its way through the road inside the harbor wall of Monaco to park outside Stars n Bars, where students spent 20 minutes enjoying a drink in the lazy evening sun. Then it was all back on board – except for the students who forgot to board and ended up running behind the train – to go off to the next destination: MacCarthys traditional Irish pub. This has long been a favorite in Monaco for students who want to relax over a cheap beer, and the place was soon heaving with IUM students ordering their famously inexpensive pizzas.
Last stop for the train was La Brasserie back in the harbor, another favorite spot to sit and chat over organic food and beers brewed onsite. It was a great way to introduce our Principality to the newbies, and to show Monaco how great it is to be an IUM student!

Okay, Levi. Your Turn.
By Rabbi Jack AbramowitzG-d had Moshe take a separate census of the Levites. Levi had three sons: Gershon, Kehos and Merari. They had fathered three familes that bore their names. While the males of the rest of the nation had been counted from the age of 20 and up, the Levites were counted from a month old and up.
The family of Gershon numbered 7,500. They were given the job of assembling, disassembling and maintenance of the Mishkan's various drapes, roofs, hangings, curtains and the courtyard enclosure. They camped on the west side of the Mishkan.
The family of Kehos totaled 8,600. They were responsible for the Aron, the Table, the Menorah and the two altars, plus all the utensils and the partition (the Paroches). These Levites camped on the south side of the Mishkan; they reported to Aharon's son Elazar.
The family of Merari were 6,200 all told. They were placed in charge of the beams, pillars and bases of the Mishkan and the courtyard enclosure, along with the related utensils. They camped on the north side of the Tabernacle.
Moshe and Aharon made their camp on the east side of the Tabernacle. Only designated kohanim were allowed to set up camp there. (Moshe was the functional equivalent of a kohein.)
There were 22,000 Levite males above the age of one month. (Really, there were 22,300, but 300 of them were first-borns themselves, so they were not actually "exchanged" for the first-born males of the other Tribes, as we will see in the next aliyah. See Talmud Bechoros 5a.)

Nicolas Heurteloup was born in Tours, November 26, 1750. From his earliest childhood, he was supported by the nun who ran the hospital pharmacy nearby. She managed to persuade his student to move into surgery.
He began his studies at the Charité hospital in Tours and finished them at the Hotel-Dieu of Paris. The young man enlisted in the army and joined the health service that was coming from embryo to emerge.
In 1768, he served as surgeon-in support in the army of Louis XV, who was stationed in Corsica. In 1782 (in 1770, according to Michel Dupont, Dictionnaire historique des Médecins dans et hors de la Médecine, Larousse (éd.), Paris, 1999), he took charge of surgeon in the hospital of Bastia. In 1790 (in 1786, according to Dupont), he worked as chief physician at the hospital in Toulon. In 1792, he joined with the same grade the army of the South and in 1793, he officiated in the army of the Alps.
That same year, he joined the board of health, where he served until his death.7. In 1795 he accompanied the army of Italy. He became the first surgeon of the army that year.
On June 14, 1804, Heurteloup was named inspector general of the health service, along with Pierre-François Percy, Dominique Jean Larrey and René-Nicolas Dufriche Desgenettes. In 1808, he succeeded Percy, suffering from blindness, and became the chief surgeon of the Grand Army. Meanwhile he was consulting surgeon of the Emperor.
In 1809, he organized hospitals of Vienna and Ebersdorf where the wounded of Battle of Essling (May 21 and 22) and Wagram (July 5 and 6) were treated. In the bulletin of the Grand Army in the aftermath of the Battle of Wagram, Napoleon himself insisted on "the way the surgery was used and especially the services of the surgeon in head Heurteloup." Never Desgenettes or Percy had such an honor. The Emperor gave Heurteloup a banquet and a medal adorned with the imperial praise.
Not surprisingly, on 24 July 1809, Napoleon promoted Heurteloup in the order of the Legion of Honour by appointing him an officer and, on 16 December 1810, he elevated him to the nobility by making him Baron of the Empire.
Suffering from paralysis following a brain disorder, Nicolas Heurteloup gave way to chief surgeon of the Grand Army to Dominique-Jean Larrey on 12 February 1812, when Napoleon decided to go to war against Alexander I, Tsar of all the Russias.
Heurteloup died in Paris on March 27 of that year.

The New York Times recently wrote about a new trend of mothers who work on Wall Street with stay-at-home husbands who watch the kids.
The women and men quoted in the article largely described the arrangement as an inversion of the traditional 1950s marriage: the wife is the breadwinner while the husband cares for the children, does the laundry, and makes the meals.
Husbands who are increasingly willing to take on the domestic load help women dedicate themselves to work in a way that only men with housewives previously could. The women can head to the office before the sun's up without worrying about lunches or daycare dropoffs. If they need to travel with little notice, they can. In exchange, the Wall Street women earn paychecks their husbands could hardly compete with.
The group of women with this arrangement, while growing, is still very small. Moms working in finance with stay-at-home spouses make up less than 2% of all married women on Wall Street, according to the Times' analysis. But their ranks have increased nearly tenfold since 1980.
The Times found that the current number of moms working on Wall Street (more than 21,000) has risen steadily over the past 30 years. In 1980, just 2,980 women fit into that category. The number climbed to 5,924 in 1990 and 16,196 in 2000.
You can see the gradual growth in the chart below:
Data from the New York Times
Will the trend continue? It's hard to say. On the whole, the women seem to like the setup, but the stay-at-home dads interviewed by the Times had mixed feelings. Many were proud of their wife's success, but felt awkward telling friends they were househusbands.
Although it's a sign of progress toward gender equality, the solution certainly isn't ideal. As the Times points out, the culture of Wall Street isn't changing if success requires one partner to stay at home and support the other's career. A more accessible model would offer the flexibility to accommodate dual-earner and single parents.

Posted Sun 27th of January 2008
You and I have some thangs to do to one another. I see something in you that need to get out, a trapped desire needing to be fulfilled. Follow me back to my place, come with me, and let me lead you to your freedom. Relax and forget about tomorrow, let your past float away and focus on the now, on me and you.
Come into me, place you body against mines, let me feel your body's heat. Let me taste your lips and savor your tongue. Let me trace your curves and find your pleasure spots, let my hands and fingers learn your body and what make you wet. Let go and fall into my care, let me ease your tension while my tongue traces your body. From your neck to your breast, farther down to your stomach. Lay back and let go, close your eyes and let me please you.
Open your legs and let me take you to pleasure's heights. Enjoy me as I kiss and suck on your inner thigh while my hand brushes up against your pussy. Let me know how you want me to touch you and whine when I tease you. I feel your pulse between your legs, I smell your passion, and I feel your heat. You're spilling over as my thumb massages your clit, your precious pearl. Don't fight it, let your body go, jerk and move against me or with me, just enjoy what we are doing. The closer we get to you heights, the shorter your breaths become.
And as we get to your peak and you prepare to jump, your horizons expand and we move forward, wave after wave of ecstasy crashes through your body and I smile and enjoy your reactions. The way to thrash, buck, and beg for release then more seems to release that lust in your heart and I get a better picture of you, the real you. The passionate, dirty, lustful creature I knew you were.
I can take it any longer, my passion is at its peak, I enter you all at once, I kiss your lips and try to contain you scream, you tense up, I stroke into you, rubbing up against your pearl, I cup your ass and breast, I pinch you nipple, and to my amazement you grind against me. Either instinctive or deliberate you begin to guide me, to lead me through your path of seduction, you lick my ear then bite my lode, that alone almost make me spill me load, now the tables have turned.
The lustful little girl I was trying to free have become a sexual devil, all you inhibitions now gone, you have turned the hunter into your prey. I relax and let you ravage me, that lust seem to be take me whole, the control I thought I once had is now gone. I look into your eyes and see madness, your need has taken you completely, you have become an innocent victim and now its eyes are on me.
I try to regain my composure then you do something amazing, your walls seem to be crushing me dick, you have gripped me perfectly, its mind blowing, I've lost myself in you. Your voice, your commands, I have no choice be to follow. With you on top and you ass clapping as you bounce on my, your tits sway from you motions, you stare straight up as if you are peering into heaven it's self, I reach for you breast and squeeze, I massage and pinch you nipples, I sit up and put your tit in my mouth and pull you hair back, I reach down and play your clit like a guitar, you cry and we look into each others eyes and we explode together.
Our lips together, you milk me for all I'm worth. Sweat rolls from our bodies, the sheets stick to us, and the room is 400 degrees hot. The only sounds are our mouths gasping for air. We fall back with you on top of me, you hair in my face, your face in my chest. I hold you and close my eyes preparing for sleep to take over.
Then you begin to laugh, I look at you with curiosity and fear. You look into my face, smile that devilish grin then head down towards my head. I try to catch you but before I can react you have me in your mouth and I can do nothing. You suck and lick me trying to raise my dick back to life. You look at me while jerking my dick and challenge me to round two.
Exhausted I want to say no but a smile rolls across my face. I lay back and my body takes over, my mind numb from the pleasures of your mouth I know I'm no longer a free man, I'm yours. Whatever you want, whenever, it's yours, I am yours. We make love form sun up to sun down, nothing else matter anymore, nothing else exists anymore, just you and me for all time trapped in our lust.

There are just a few men and women that will be able to response to the true meaning of Lust between a man and a woman. This was great and I for one welcome your expression of what really brings men and women together.
Thank You!

what kind of story is this. Can you wrte better and submit a good story that is very erotic and full of lusts? Rate 5/10
2008-02-10 08:47:51
What a crappy piece of nonsense this so called story is. Lust is when you only think about yourself and nothing for your partner, Love is thinking of your partner and their needs first, but as you are only 22 years old your notions are only to be expected.2/10

March 6, 2016 - Nice if unspectacular bottle. Needed some coaxing on the nose to reveal raspberry, charcoal and leather. Stewed black cherries with a dark green resin finish. Quiet, unassuming but perfectly acceptable if you like the type. Drink now. Paired with roasted chicken with shallots and garlic.

February 5, 2013 - Classically aged Bordeaux. It was clear with a medium garnet color. The nose was medium plus with aromas of black cherry, plum, cedar and pencil lead. Wonderfully expressive. The tannins were soft and well integrated. A little thin on the mid-palate with the flavors more muted than the nose. Overall, a fine wine that is ready for immediate consumption.

March 13, 2012 - Fresh nose of raspberries, strawberries, tar and tobacco! Deep red in color! On the palate, beautiful presentation of merlot fruits! To me, this bottle is simply outstanding! Very pure and yet very rich! Still have few more years to go! 12.5% printed in the bottle! Very good balance! Cheers!
vegasoenophile wrote: (87 points)
August 24, 2010 - Floral nose of ripe fruits with hints of licorice and some smoky, tarry minerality. Rich, coating mouthfeel. Great meaty notes of red berry and a nice savory quality, like the richness of bone marrow. I'd say this wine needs food.

Started experimenting with digital color. It ain't easier, but it looks cleaner. Thoughts?
Tuesday, October 30, 2012
2 comments:
Looking good so far! I used to take a loooong long time with digital color, but this tutorial gave me a lot of good tips. Still takes a while, but I've been practicing it with my comic for a while now, and I'm pretty happy with the results most of the time. =)
Are you doing the linework traditionally still? Or is this strip all digital?RepliesThanks! I'm already getting complaints, but let's hope it improves. I had to look for a few tutorials before I found one that explained the process as if to a child, and then I got it! I do the sketch and the inking traditionally -- don't know that i can in good conscience cheat on that part. I still like the shading, it looks way smoother. Good luck with your comic!

Bontril is a prescription drug that is approved for the short-term use of helping people lose weight. It works by suppressing the appetite and possibly increasing the metabolism. The medication comes in two forms -- short-acting tablets and long-acting capsules. As with any medication, side effects can occur with Bontril, such as insomnia, headaches, and dizziness.
What Is Bontril?
Bontril® (phendimetrazine tartrate) is a prescription weight loss medication only approved for short-term use. It should be used in conjunction with an appropriate diet. The drug comes in two forms: a short-acting version (Bontril PDM) and a long-acting version (Bontril SR).(Click Bontril Uses for more information, including possible off-label uses.)
How Does Bontril Work?
Bontril works by suppressing the appetite, and it may also increase the metabolism. It is chemically similar to amphetamines.Effects of Bontril
Only very short studies have evaluated the effectiveness of medications like Bontril. In these studies, people taking these medications lost more weight than those who were not taking the medications. However, the difference was small (only a fraction of a pound more per week for the people taking Bontril). Studies also suggest that the effects of these medications for weight loss decrease after the first few weeks.

Rated 4 out of 5 by PuiChink from Crafty workmanship but tad short Very nice workmanship for this maple tool in par with peers. but the wok paddle perhaps too long for most people unless the person is 5'-10" above. Note the wok has a rim to bottom depth about 4-5" and not the frying pan depth 2" max, as such the person may need to bend elbow a bit and not as comfortable as elbow extendedDate published: 2017-02-03Rated 5 out of 5 by marplesk from Great product Just realize this is a single wok paddle - so if you plan to use this to stir fry order 2.Date published: 2016-09-09Rated 5 out of 5 by lilitalia84 from Great for stir-fry! I just used this wok paddle last night for the first time, and it works so well for stir-fry compared to the small cheap bamboo wok paddle I used to use. This longer size works much better in my 12" wok. I was undecided about this purchase due to the high price (even on sale), but I'm glad I bought it as it will last much longer than my bamboo paddle, and the quality is great!Date published: 2016-04-12Rated 5 out of 5 by Kiheigal from Wok paddle Wok paddle is the best kitchen tool I have used for stir fry in my new Williams Sonoma Nordic wok. The wok paddle works better than any other utensil I have used for stir fry, especially when cooking a large amount of food which is often the case with stir fry. I highly recommend wok paddle for stir fry.Date published: 2016-01-12

Dog's Nose is Better Than Medical Equipment
An important member of the surgical team at Duke University Medical Center this week doesn't have a medical degree, or even a pedigree.
A terrier mix named JJ was invited into the procedure room because her nose is more sensitive than any medical instrument at detecting when 7-year-old Kaelyn Krawczyk is having a dangerous allergic reaction.
His North Carolina trainers believe the 2-year-old dog is the first dog to be trained to smell and react to the beginning of a mastocytosis flare-up.

Ultimate Guide To Business Cards
A well-crafted card speaks volumes about you and your work, and can be the one decisive factor that will bring you better business. We have the formula that will make your card so good that it just may inspire murderous envy la American Psycho .
your dispensable billboard
Your business card is the tangible representation of you and what you have to offer. Consider it your mobile advertisement. After all, it is what your contacts will remember you by. So like any good ad, it has to be brief, to the point, and incite people to action.just the facts
An effective business card has just enough information to allow clients or potential business prospects to contact you. The less cluttered it is, the better. Here is what should be on it:Your name: Obviously, they need to know who they're talking to.
Your job title: A brief description of what you do is another possibility.
The company name: If your company has a logo, you can use it at the top, but keep it subtle.
A default phone number: List your work number, preferably with a voice mail so that people can leave a message.
Your work e-mail: The Net is a common tool among business people and listing your e-mal address will make it that much easier for others to contact you.
Address, fax and URL are optional; use them only if you think it's a necessary means of reaching you.
I do not recommended including your cellular phone number on your card, as you want to avoid getting pesky, non-essential calls on it at all hours of the day and night. Should you want to give it to a particular contact, write it on the back of the card with your expensive pen.
Information that can become outdated, such as personal e-mail addresses, should also be omitted.
All of the aforementioned information should be on one side, so that people can jot down any extra information, such as a meeting time and place, on the reverse. If you insist on having both sides done, consider a faded watermark of your company's logo or name.
making the sale
If you're in sales, consider making two sets of cards. One would be for potential clients and for use at networking events, and should provide details about your specialty, and have only basic contact information. The other, made for existing clients, can include more contact information and a strong promotional phrase.A promotional phrase can be a potent marketing tool. If it makes a concise, compelling statement about your business, it can inspire enough confidence for a valuable contact to make that call. Use strong words that appeal to the senses, like "experience," "feel," and "see."
Make it about your client's needs, and not a self-congratulatory motto. In fact, the word "you" is often considered the most powerful in marketing. Avoid vague clichs like "#1 in the business" or "More for your money." A good promotional phrase would be "You will see results fast."
So, what should the card look like?

Duchess, the Greatest of Danes
You never know who you're going to run into when you roam the city of St. Louis. You certainly don't expect to meet a 6-foot dog.
But this is Duchess the Great Dane, who is arguably the tallest dog in St. Louis. The five-year-old weighs 180 pounds and is 3-feet tall when she's on all fours. But when she rears up on her hind legs, Duchess is 6-feet-4-inches tall! And that still doesn't qualify her as the tallest dog in America. Another Great Dane named Zeus, who hails from Michigan, holds that record at 7-feet-tall.
Duchess is an astounding sight. She's almost like a tourist attraction as runners, bikers, dog walkers and even park staff slow down or even stop to see if that's really a dog. And Marty Connolly, Duchess' owner, doesn't mind a bit.
Marty, a 63-year-old retiree from South St. Louis, is glad to share the story of his rescue dog. Duchess is originally from California and came to this area with her family. But demanding jobs and a new baby didn't leave Duchess much family time. So Marty stepped in. Marty had lost his first beloved Great Dane, Duke, recently and Duchess fit right in.
The gentle giant ambled happily along with Marty during one of her two daily walks in the park. When she stopped to say hello, she leaned into the stranger that was petting her. An instant connection. And when the stranger's yappy dog tried to get her goat, a sniff and yawn was all the response her sweet soul had to share.
"All I know is she loves people and other animals and her mission from God is to help others," Marty said.
But Duchess' new friend wasn't so sure.The 15-pound little dog tried to get to know Duchess by sniffing her hind quarters. But all her little nose could reach was Duchess' legs. They parted with a plan to meet again soon.

Sleeping at the foot of the bed
Sometimes it takes a new perspective to see the thing that has been right there all the time. And even though Mama Love is 93-years-old, it took sleeping at the foot of the bed for her to see something that had always been there for the first time.
It was a cool spring night when Mama Love decided to change her sleeping position on a quest to soothe the tired bones that have served her body for the last nine decades. The next morning as the sun rose over the Metro East property her family owns, she delighted to see out of her window a blossoming tree in the distance. High above the green tree tops rose the tallest tree sprouting white spring flowers.
"Ha! Now I thought, I've been in this house for at least 70 years and I have never seen that tree," Mama Love marveled when she relayed the story. "And all it took was sleeping at the foot of the bed. We might not like it, but we all need a little change now and then you know. You never know what you might discover."
Mama Love knows about change. When she was born, women couldn't vote. When she grew up in the Southern Illinois community just outside of St. Louis, black kids didn't swim in the city pool or watch movies on the main floor of the local theater. Water hoses and balconies would have to do. And most kids in her community didn't go to high school. But not Mama Love. She was one of the first African-American graduates of her integrated high school. Even though she knew a high school education wasn't going to let her work at the phone company or local drug store like her classmates. A high school education was not going to save Mama Love from a lifetime of being "the help." For more than six decades, she spent her life going to white people's homes to cook their food, clean their homes and wash their clothes. Then she went home and did the same thing for her own family.
But Mama Love has always been a believer of change. When her kids' white friends asked her why her kids couldn't go swimming, she decided to integrate the pools. When her educated and successful children grew up and weren't allowed to live in certain parts of town, she used her connections to mobilize the community and sparked a fair housing movement. But the biggest legacy of change in her life is that despite the fact that she never took one college course, she made sure all three of her children got bachelors and masters degrees. Education paid for one dirty dish at a time.
Change, Mama Love says, is why she's still here when so many of her friends are gone, when her beloved husband of 62 years has been gone for more than a decade and when all of her own children are now eligible to collect Social Security. Change has been what has kept her spirit fresh and her mind active.
"But you got to have an open mind to see things," she'll tell you. "Just like that tree. Been here all this time. It didn't change. I did."
Then she pointed to another tree closer to her house and closer to her heart. The tall, thick tree rose majestically as it sat at the foot of her backyard deck. Its roots planted firmly in the family homestead.
"Now this tree, it hasn't always been here," she explains. "The boys planted it when they were kids. Of course that had to be close to 60 years ago. And look at it now, it's still here."
And that is one thing the mother of three, grandmother of seven and great-grandmother of five hopes will never change.

A Day in Dutchtown
The colorful hijabs and elaborate hookahs displayed in the window entice Nasrulla Hazrat's customers to come into his store, the Afghan International Market. Located on Grand near Chippewa, the grocery and housewares store sits in the Dutchtown neighborhood of St. Louis. But you don't see too many of the community's first residents, the Deutsch, or Germans as we know them, around anymore.
"Most of the people who come here are refugees," said Hazrat, an Afghani national. "People who live around here or study English at the International Institute."
The International Institute is steps away. Established in 1919, the nonprofit organization provides adjustment services to immigrants and is key to the development of St. Louis' thriving immigrant population, which stands at 8 percent of the citizenry and includes the largest Bosnia population outside of Bosnia.
Dutchtown itself is home to a large Asian population that includes Chinese, Vietnamese and Indonesian. There are also people of Mexican heritage, and immigrants from Africa and India along with African-Americans and whites.
It's a hodgepodge of humanity that is in your face. A tour of the neighborhood will uncover an Iranian grocer, a Vietnamese restaurant and an African clothing and hair braiding establishment. It's not uncommon to see Arabic or Chinese lettering on store signs. And a woman wearing a burqua or a man in a Buddhist kasaya robe is just as normal to see as a kid with his underwear peaking out of a pair of baggy jeans.
Back in the Afghani International Market, a variety of languages fill the store as owner and customer negotiate prices. Hazrat says he speaks both Pashto, the Afghani national language, and Dari, a Persian dialect spoken by Afghanis. But today, he is speaking English to a Liberian customer, who barely speaks it herself. She wants a better price for a rug. Somehow, through gestures, eye rolls and smiles, she gets it.

The first time I practiced yoga was enchanting. The soft breeze from the Mississippi River tingled on my skin as I stretched my arms high above. Looking up to the sky, the sun warmed my face as it gleamed over the landmark St. Louis Arch. My newly-purchased yoga mat was lying on the freshly-cut grass of the national park. And I was positioned perfectly in front of our yogi, Maury. Surrounding him were a few dozen people who, like me, were taking advantage of the free lessons and the perfect weather.
The morning couldn't have started better. I didn't even think twice that I ran into my boss in traffic on the way downtown. It didn't matter to me then where she was going as she abruptly, some might say rudely, cut in front of me on Tucker Blvd. But when I looked at my cell phone after the hour-long yoga session and saw the missed calls and voice mails, I realized that she must have been on her way to meet with the human resources representative at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The entire time I was guiding my body to be one with the universe, two people were spending that continuum of space trying to inform me that I no longer had a job.
So here I am, an unemployed journalist. I wrote more than 540 stories and took hundreds of photographs in the two years that I was employed by the Suburban Journals of Greater St. Louis. I've also worked at the Belleville News-Democrat and several publications in my hometown of Detroit. I have been blessed to be paid to write. As it stands today, writing is no longer my profession. But it is still my art.
So in pursuit of that which feeds my soul -- my art -- I present to you Saint Louis Stories. My first Saint Louis Story was my own. But future Saint Louis Stories will be about the people and places that make up this richly cultural and diverse metropolis.

If you are doing this once, then reading the whole file is fine, but if every 'nn' minutes you want to run the script then saving the location of the end-of-file would be a good solution. This technique is similar to 'pop-before-smtp' technique. (Example, not tested ) Since you will be running on a log server, you should use the same locking mechanism as the log daemon. There are some race conditions in the code, but if you save where you ended, you shouldn't miss anything. I originally wrote this in 1997, so I tried to update the technique. Looking at the original code, it isn't the way I would write it today, but it has worked on some 40 - 50 mail servers since, and I never had to rewrite it (probably should now). Hopefully you see the idea and can adapt this to your situation.

Cubism: An intellectual revolt against the artistic expression of previous eras
Cubist Theory
Cubism began as an intellectual revolt against the artistic expression of previous eras. Among the specific elements abandoned by the cubists were the sensual appeal of paint texture and color, subject matter with emotional charge or mood, the play of light on form, movement, atmosphere, and the illusionism that proceeded from scientifically based perspective. To replace these they employed an analytic system in which the three-dimensional subject (usually still life) was fragmented and redefined within a shallow plane or within several interlocking and often transparent planes.
Analytic and Synthetic Cubism
In the analytic phase (1907–12) the cubist palette was severely limited, largely to black, browns, grays, and off-whites. In addition, forms were rigidly geometric and compositions subtle and intricate. Cubist abstraction as represented by the analytic works of Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Juan Gris intended an appeal to the intellect. The cubists sought to show everyday objects as the mind, not the eye, perceives them—from all sides at once. The trompe l'oeil element of collage was also sometimes used.
During the later, synthetic phase of cubism (1913 through the 1920s), paintings were composed of fewer and simpler forms based to a lesser extent on natural objects. Brighter colors were employed to a generally more decorative effect, and many artists continued to use collage in their compositions. The works of Picasso, Braque, and Gris are also representative of this phase.
