I'm pretty sure there are very few people out there who haven't heard of 50 Shades of Grey, it has rocked the nation with its provocative story line and erotic scenes. Other books from the erotic/romantic book genre have a lot to live up to (Okay not really because I personally don't believe the 50 Shades of Grey books were really great "literature", they were good for a "kick" but not much else). When TLC Book Tours offered the chance to read Hotelle and Elle, I figured I should give some other erotic/romantic books I shot (especially since 50 Shades has spoiled this genre for me), find out what I thought below!
Title: Elle
Author: Emma Mars
Publisher: Harper Perennial
Format: 435, Paperback
Source: Received from TLC Book Tours in exchange for an honest review
(From Goodreads)
A spellbinding, erotic, and revealing love story full of drama and poignancy–the sequel to Hotelles-in which a young French woman continues her carnal education in a mysterious Parisian hotel.
In a hotel room in Paris, a young woman named Elle experiences the most exquisite freedom and sensual pleasure she has ever known, thanks to Louis, the man who has conquered her completely.
So many things in life have changed since they first met. Her engagement to Louis's deceptive brother, David, has been broken. Her mother has died. Yet Elle is wholly fulfilled with Louis, the master who heightens her senses and unleashes her deep, seductive power.
In the alluring Hotel des Charmes, Louis takes Elle beyond her wildest fantasies. Exploring the boudoirs devoted to other courtesans–Mademoiselle Josephine, Deschamps, Kitty Fisher, Cora Pearl, and Valtesse de la Bigne–Elle willingly opens herself further. In sublime self-abandonment she discovers absolute ecstasy, absolute sweetness, absolute desire.
Then David unexpectedly returns, stirring up painful memories and threatening their bliss. Elle fears her education may soon be over. . .
She does not understand that it has only just begun.
About the Author
(From Goodreads; translated by Babelfish)
Emma Mars est une auteure française de vingt ans. Ou trente. Peut-être même quarante. Elle a l'âge qu'elle veut, et la vie qu'elle aime à s'inventer, car elle n'apprécie rien tant que les passerelles entre la réalité (la sienne) et la fiction (celle qu'elle écrit). Quitte à mettre parfois un peu trop d'elle dans ses romans, et un peu trop de romanesque dans sa vie. Mais peu importe, c'est ce qui rend son existence passionnante, et l'espère-t-elle, ses livres assez captivants pour vous embarquer, vous lecteurs, dans ses errances sensuelles.
Emma March is a French author of twenty years. Or thirty. Maybe even forty. She is any age she wants to be, and the life she loves to invent, because she enjoys nothing as gateways between reality (Siena) and fiction (the one she wrote). Left to be sometimes a little too much of it in his novels, and a little too romantic in his life. But regardless, it is what makes her exciting life, and hope she, her books quite captivating to embark, you readers, in his sensual wanderings.
My Review
As I mentioned above, although I enjoyed 50 Shades of Grey, I wasn't not a die hard fan- I thought the concept was interesting, but I hated Anastasia (I wanted her to stop being so weak and helpless). I went into Elle (and the first novel Hotelles) thinking that this was just going to be another meh book like 50 Shades of Grey. I have to say I was wrong. I didn't love this book, it is no literary masterpiece that will be studied in school for years to come, but it was an enjoyable book. I enjoyed getting to know Elle and watching her develop as a character (especially sexually) and I enjoyed the little bit of mystery that was mixed in with the eroticism.
The overall concept was original and was well written. I found that I was intrigued to find out what was going to happen next and rather enjoyed the erotic parts (unlike 50 Shades where I got bored after a while [no I am not saying it wasn't a turn on, but after a while it seemed predictable]). The sex scenes in Elle were arousing! It was fun to continue Elle's "carnal education in a mysterious Parisian hotel".
Overall I thought this book was good, it had a good concept and a good main character. The book didn't wow me, but maybe that's only because I prefer my own imagination when it comes to eroticism (ha ha ha maybe that was a little TOO much information to share with everyone). I think this book was a lot of fun and I am interested to find out what happens next!
I give this book:
Thank you to
for allowing me to be part of the blog tour!

Youngest kid of six with an inferiority and black sheep complex, but determined that God saves not just his soul to heaven but the remainder of his manic-depressive life, so others won't say he became a Christian and remained a jerk.
On identity
i won't be transparent before i'm opaque. and you'll get to know me starting from the small things: who my favourite bands are. what kind of movies i like. who are my heroes.
On Christianity
I'm convinced that when confronted with sincere, real love, the Jesus factor will become obvious. But let's not plant the cross before we carry it. I'm not trying to con you.
On dreams
Some dreams are meant to be achieved. I know that. But maybe other dreams are meant to drive us, privately. Never known to anyone but ourselves.
On melancholy
It is a sadness that, when choosing between crying and sighing, will choose sighing. I'd almost say that melancholy is being sad about sadness itself.
On memory and nostalgia
It saddens me when life moves forward and people decide that certain things are worth forgetting.
On language
I've learnt that the word irregardless is filed as a non-standard word in the English language. That's a lexicographer's way of saying it's not a real word.
On politics
Crowds are fickle things. So when we stand in the thousands and cry against the present government, do we know who we're actually crying for?
On society
People always want the best for themselves. But I want to sometimes take second or third or fourth best, just so that the loser down the road doesn't always have to come in last. It must feel like shit to always come in last.
On growing old
Leasehold property make me feel sad. It doesn't matter how old the family photos are that you put on your wall. It's your family but it's not really your wall.
On philosophy
I ask you, if God loves everyone, and if God is also incapable of loving evil, how can there be such a thing as an evil man?
On a daily basis
One line quips, like this.

i've never really wondered why critical thinking, as a learning method, has always been the domain of western education. chinese education prides itself in diligence and rote learning but i've never heard of a chinese school that fostered asking lots of probing, critical questions. i've always taken this as a given, but i've recently stumbled on what's possibly the fundamental reason why.
in mandarin, the words for "question" is "wen ti". but "wen ti" doesn't only mean "question". "wen ti" also means "problem". it all clicked. if asking a question is phoenetically identical to introducing a problem, you're not gonna ask many questions.
when someone says "wo mei you wen ti", they are essentially making a simultaneous double comment that when "i don't have a question", "i don't have a problem".
questions are not associated with discovery, wonderment, understanding, truth, or clarity. questions are associated with problems. and nobody wants problems. so nobody asks questions.
i fully understand that the chinese tradition largely ignores asking questions because it's not really the confucian way of learning, which is pretty much one-way traffic from senior to junior. but something tells me that the double meaning of this mandarin term is at least partly responsible for generations of chinese teachers who would rather you just shut up and listen.

Herts Dive Club is delighted to announce that it has been awarded Lottery Funding against it "I can Dive" initiative designed to train local children, teenagers, adults and families in how to scuba dive. Since being established in 2009 HDC has grown to support various groups and people from the local community by providing them with the opportunity to try scuba diving.
We believe that scuba diving is a great physical activity that provides opportunities for people to experience exciting underwater activity that will give them a chance to swim underwater, experience adventure and discover new things. For children in particularly, it helps to increase their self-confidence/self-esteem, develop their non-verbal communication skills, learn about water safety/awareness, and learn more about themselves. It also gives them a structured environment to develop skills in a fun, controlled and safe environment. These skills include punctuality, awareness, team working, self-discipline, enjoyment and satisfaction of achievement.
In the past year HDC has been contacted by many groups who would like to try diving, especially disaffected/disadvantage groups, those supporting disabled children and those from uniformed groups e.g. scouts and guides. We have also been contacted by two local schools looking to add Scuba diving to their extra-curricular programme during weekends and school holidays.Now we have obtained this funding, we aim to work with local schools to deliver scuba courses. Each session will consist of 15-20 students and will take place at Hatfield Swim Centre, as well as transporting children further afield to Open Water and Coastal Dive Sites in the UK.
Many of these children would not usually get the opportunity to try scuba diving, however now we have been awarded funding we are able to offer this experience to children in the local area.
Funding will also enable us to purchase equipment and provide a trailer to transport this dive equipment to make these sessions possible. Equipment includes;
- New Trailer to transport Dive Equipment
- Replacement & updated Diving Kit
- Regulators
- Dive Computers
- PADI Materials for Training Courses

Using Manipulatives to Teach Elementary Mathematics - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, v3 Jun 2010
The purpose of this paper is to explain the importance and benefits of math manipulatives. For decades, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has encouraged school districts nationwide to use manipulatives in mathematical instruction. The value of manipulatives has been recognized for many years, but some teachers are reluctant to use them in their lessons. Throughout this paper, a discussion of the positive results of several research studies that strongly suggest the use of manipulatives will be mentioned. The history and advancement of manipulatives with also be discussed. Defining manipulatives and explaining the correct way to use them will be highlighted in this paper.

Bad Car Day
A police officer pulled over a driver and informed him that, because he was wearing his seat belt, he had just won $5,000 in a safety competition. ''What are you going to do with the prize money?'' the officer asked.
The man responded, ''I guess I'll go to driving school and get my license.''
At that moment, his wife, who was seated next to him, chimed in, ''Officer, don't listen to him. He's a smart aleck when he's drunk.''
This woke up the guy in the back seat, who, when he saw the cop, blurted out, ''I knew we wouldn't get far in this stolen car.''
At that moment, there was a knock from the trunk and a voice asked ''Are we over the border yet?''
A Sunday Drive
Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH.
He thinks to himself, "This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over.
Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies-two in the front seat and three in the back-wide eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, says to him, "Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?"
"Ma'am," the officer replies, "you weren't speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers."
"Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly...Twenty- two miles an hour!" the old woman says a bit proudly.
The State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that "22" was the route number, not the speed limit.
A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error.
"But before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask... is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven't muttered a single peep this whole time," the officer asks with concern.
"Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We just got off Route 119."
Lawyer's Salary
A pipe burst in a lawyer's house, so he called a plumber. The plumber arrived, unpacked his tools, did mysterious plumber-type things for a while, and handed the lawyer a bill for $600.
The lawyer exclaimed, "This is ridiculous! I don't even make that much as a lawyer!"
The plumber replied sympathetically, "Neither did I when I was a lawyer."
Will the Real Dummy Please Stand Up?
Los Angeles Police lucked out with a robbery suspect who just couldn't control himself during a lineup. When detectives asked each man in the lineup to repeat the words, "Give me all your money or I'll shoot," the man shouted, "That's not what I said!"
A bank robber in Virginia Beach got a nasty surprise when a dye pack designed to mark stolen money exploded in his Fruit-of-the-Looms. The robber apparently stuffed the loot down the front of his pants as he was running out the door. "He was seen hopping and jumping around," said a police spokesman, "with an explosion taking place inside his pants." Police have the man's charred trousers in custody.
A man spoke frantically into the phone: "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!"
"Is this her first child?" the doctor asked.
"No, you idiot!" the man shouted. "This is her husband!"
In Modesto, CA, A man was arrested for trying to hold up a bank without a weapon. He used a thumb and a finger to simulate a gun, but unfortunately, he failed to keep his hand in his pocket. Wonder what he uses for a knife?
Legal Parrots
A man goes into a pet shop to buy a parrot. The shop owner points to three identical-looking parrots on a perch and says, "The parrot on the left costs $500." "Why does the parrot cost so much?" asks the customer. The owner says "Well, the parrot knows how to do legal research."
The customer then asks about the next parrot, to be told that this one costs $1,000 because it can do everything the other parrot can do plus it knows how to write a brief that will win any case.
Naturally, the increasingly startled customer asks about the third parrot, to be told that it costs $4,000. Needless to say, this begs the question, "What can it do?"
To which the owner replies, "To be honest, I've never seen him do a darn thing, but the other two call him Senior Partner."
Funny Valentine
A guy walks into a post office one day to see a middle-aged, balding man standing at the counter methodically placing "Love" stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. The balding man then takes out a perfume bottle and starts spraying them all.
His curiosity getting the better of him, he goes up to the balding man and asks him what he is doing. The man says, "I'm sending out 1,000 Valentine cards signed, 'Guess who?'"
"But why?" asks the man.
"I'm a divorce lawyer."
Infamous Quotes of State Troopers
"So, you don't know how fast you were going. I guess that means I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?"
"The handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch out after you wear them a while."
"Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket."
"Just how big were those 'two beers'?"
"The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or dog?"
"Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven."
"No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to have quotas, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we want.
The Cigar Incident
A Charlotte, North Carolina man, having purchased a case of rare, very expensive cigars, insured them against ... get this...fire.
Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of fabulous cigars, and having yet to make a single premium payment on the policy, the man filed a claim against the insurance company. In his claim, the man stated that he had lost the cigars in "a series of small fires." The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason that the man had consumed the cigars in a normal fashion.
The man sued...and won. In delivering his ruling, the judge stated that since the man held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable, and also guaranteed that it would insure the cigars against fire, without defining what it considered to be "unacceptable fire", it was obligated to compensate the insured for his loss. Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the judge's ruling and paid the man $15,000 for the rare cigars he lost in "the fires."
After the man cashed his check, however, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of arson. With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used as evidence against him, the man was convicted of intentionally burning the rare cigars and sentenced to 24 consecutive one year terms.
The Case Of The Missing Bull
A big-city lawyer was representing the railroad in a lawsuit filed by an old rancher. The rancher's prize bull was missing from the section through which the railroad passed. The rancher only wanted to be paid the fair value of the bull.
The case was scheduled to be tried before the justice of the peace in the back room of the general store.
The attorney for the railroad immediately cornered the rancher and tried to get him to settle out of court. The lawyer did his best selling job, and finally the rancher agreed to take half of what he was asking.
After the rancher had signed the release and took the check, the young lawyer couldn't resist gloating a little over his success, telling the rancher, "You know, I hate to tell you this, old man, but I put one over on you in there. I couldn't have won the case. The engineer was asleep and the fireman was in the caboose when the train went through your ranch that morning. I didn't have one witness to put on the stand. I bluffed you!"
The old rancher replied, "Well, I'll tell you, young feller, I was a little worried about winning that case myself, because that darned bull came home this morning."
Drunk Driving?
A cop pulls over a guy.
"Your eyes are awfully red. Have you been drinking?"
"Gee, officer," the man says. "Your eyes are awfully glazed -- have you been eating doughnuts?"
Prosecutor: "Did you kill the victim?"
Defendant: "No, I did not."
Prosecutor: "Do you know what the penalties are for perjury?"
Defendant: "Yes, I do. And they're a lot better than the penalty for murder."
Super Granny - Defender Of Justice
An elderly lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, she found four males in the act of leaving with her car! She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun,preceded to scream at them at the top of her voice, "I have a gun and I know how to use it! Get out of the car, you scumbags!"
The four men didn't wait for a second invitation but got out and ran like mad, where upon the lady, somewhat shaken, proceeded to load her shopping bags in the back of the car and went back and got into the driver's seat.
She was so shaken up that she couldn't get her key into the ignition. She tried and tried and then it dawned on her why!
A few minutes later she found her own car parked four or five spaces further down. She loaded her bags into her car and drove to the police station.
The sergeant to whom she told the story nearly tore himself in two with laughter and pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale white males were reporting a car jacking by a mad elderly woman described as white, less than 5 feet tall, glasses, and curly white hair carrying a large handgun.
No charges were filed.
Mozzarella Fella Spell
FBI agents conducted a raid of a psychiatric hospital in San Diego that was under investigation for medical insurance fraud. After hours of reviewing thousands of medical records, the dozens of agents had worked up quite an appetite.
The agent in charge of the investigation called a nearby pizza parlor with delivery service to order a quick dinner for his colleagues. The following telephone conversation took place and was recorded by the FBI because they were taping all conversations at the hospital.
Agent: Hello. I'd like to order 19 large pizzas and 3 cases of soda.
Pizza Man: And where would you like them delivered?
Agent: We're over at the psychiatric hospital.
Pizza Man: The psychiatric hospital?
Agent: That's right. I'm an FBI agent.
Pizza Man: You're an FBI agent?
Agent: That's correct. Just about everybody here is.
Pizza Man: And you're at the psychiatric hospital?
Agent: That's correct. And make sure you don't go through the front doors. We have them locked. You'll have to go around to the back service entrance to deliver the pizzas.
Pizza Man: And you say you're all FBI agents there?
Agent: That's right. How soon can you have them here?
Pizza Man: Everyone at the psychiatric hospital is an FBI agent?
Agent: That's right. We've been here all day and we're starving.
Pizza Man: How are you going to pay for all of this?
Agent: We've collected a pool of cash.
Pizza Man: And you're all FBI agents?
Agent: Yes.

Route 66 in the News
Route 66 Trailhead Opens
2012-10-20 07:43:20
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. - The history of the city and Route 66 is alive and well at the recently dedicated Route 66 Trailhead Park, along with improvements to Foothill Boulevard east of the new Pacific Electric Bridge.
A veritable outdoor museum, the new park features a portion of the original iron bridge that was nearby above Foothill, just west of Vineyard, from 1929 until it was removed in 2010 for its replacement by the Pacific Electric Bridge. The bridge is part of the Pacific Electric Trail.
Other interesting elements include the planting of mission grapes, which had carpeted the landscape when wine production dominated the area. A stretch of the original two-lane Route 66 pavement from the early 20thcentury is in the western part of the park.
"Now that the Route 66 Trailhead has been been completed, visitors and residents alike can use this area to either start on the trail, pause while they're on the he trail, or end their journey on the trail as they travel along the Pacific Electric Trail," said Mayor Dennis Michael.
Sandra Sanchez of Ontario was enjoying a run Tuesday along the city's Pacific Electric Trail, adjacent to the park.
"I usually go to the trail at Foothill and Euclid in Upland, and I've come here a handful of times," Sanchez said. "Now it's open I'll come back regularly. The times I do come, there are lots of families and people walking their dogs."
Michael thanked residents for enduring delays, traffic, construction noise, dust, closures and the removal of the bridge.
He said the improvements to Foothill open the area up for safer and efficient travel, increased property values, attracting and retaining businesses to the area.
The park recently was dedicated with the help of a woman who was part of the ribbon-cutting ceremony of an earlier improvement to Route 66 more than 70 years ago.
As a young girl, Upland native Joan Andreas Miller helped dedicate the 1938 Route 66 widening project, when the road was widened to four lanes across.
Miller was delighted to be a special guest to help cut the ribbon at the dedication for Route 66 Trailhead Park and Foothill Boulevard improvements .
"I just think this has been a wonderful job to restore something that everyone flew by, and it's very, very pretty," Miller said. "I'm gonna have to come and take a walk."
The new improvements widen the road to six lanes across east of the Pacific Electric Bridge. Completion of the last phase of widening and improvement of Route 66, west to Grove Avenue, is on hold, officials said because of the dissolution of redevelopment agencies and the loss of funds because of the state action earlier this year.

Roger Moore makes his last stand as Bond in A View to a Kill. Facing off against Christopher Walken's horse racing fanatic and industry tycoon Max Zorin, he must stop him before he carries out a dastardly scheme to create a monopoly in microchips.
Finally, after seven movies and countless unbearable sexist puns, we have come to the end of Moore's Bond tenure. It's been quite the slog, beginning vaguely promising with Live and Let Die before loosely declining in quality and now ending with the preposterous A View to a Kill. I can almost taste Timothy Dalton, and the taste is sweet.
After the sedated (and thoroughly awful) Octopussy, there was a need to re-invigorate the formula somewhat. The obvious choice in this instance would be to replace 57 year-old Roger Moore with someone who isn't a ballhair away from receiving their pensioner's buspass. Instead, they made sure everyone else around him was younger and trendy to make up for his complete inadequacy. Hence Grace Jones; Zorin was also to be portrayed by David Bowie at one point, before even he presumably thought this was a fucking ridiculous idea, and so was replaced by Christopher 'will star in literally anything' Walken.
Poor Roger. He has since said that the revelation that he was older than his co-star Tanya Robert's mother was what put the final nail in the coffin. And he is properly old-looking here; it's not as if he has aged particularly well. His hair is verging on Donald Trump territory, and his face looks like its been intensively varnished. You almost begin to worry for his well-being when he jumps off things or runs fast; he's liable to cause himself some serious injury.
Moore aside, this is surely one of Bond's most bizarre outings. A bad-guy whose preferred method of transport is a Zeppelin full of explosives, a plot that involves drugging horses via remote control, and, well Grace Jones, everything feels like it's been cobbled together from different movies. Mostly though, it's just complete and utter nonsense.
Mission Dossier:-
Bond theme: Duran Duran may be preening, sub-human yuppies, but they write a great 80s tune. After the subdued likes of All Time High and For Your Eyes Only, this is a welcome change in tone. Opening with a thundering beat, this immediately feels more electric and exciting than Bond has been for years. It's the best thing about the entire film; shame that everything pre and post the opening credits is complete bobbins.
Best one liner: Once again Moore delivers the sex puns thick and fast (hey-o!), but this time they mostly revolve around horse racing ('I love an early morning ride!'). Personally though I am a fan of Bond exclaiming 'Quite the let down!' for seemingly no reason whatsoever after exiting a descending lift.
Glamorous Locations: Opening with Bond skiing (AGAIN) in Siberia, Bond has a brief jaunt to the Eiffel Tower before staying at Zorin's estate twenty-odd miles north of Paris. After seemingly hours of dull horse racing chatter, Bond moves on to San Francisco to thwart Zorin's devious masterplan, culminating in a triumphant encounter atop the Golden Gate Bridge. Of course.
Girls: Between Alison Doody's hideously named 'Jenny Flex' and Grace Jones' batshit insane 'May Day', they make some of Moore's most mis-matched pairings. At age 57 to Doody's 19, Moore was older than her mum (yuck), whilst Jones is simply on another planet altogether. Their sex scene is almost too awkward to bear, with a behind-the-scene story involving Jones and a huge black dildo presumably explaining why Moore appears to be so terrified.
Gadgets: After the relative lack of gadgets in the last few instalments, they seem determined here to shovel in a few useless items of note. Doing what seems like some actual spying for once, he uses some binocular sunglasses to peer at Zorin while he's up to his shady business deals, and snaps some photos with his inconspicuous ring camera. Most outrageous though is his iceberg-submarine, which he uses to escape Siberia in the film's pre-credit sequence.
Classic moment: In a film that's almost completely bereft of anything that can be defined as a 'classic moment', the pickings are slim. However the pre-credits sequence features some impressive skiing, and Bond even takes down a helicopter. Pretty badass…
Low Point: …apart from the moment when Bond uses a blown-up shard of snowmobile to snowboard way from the bad-guys to the tune of Beach Boy's 'California Girls'. Just stop it now Roger.

Ordering from us
Check the current information on our BREXIT page first!
We operate a TWO stage ordering process.
STAGE 1 - Picking the stallion and paying for his nomination fee
Decide which stallion you want and place an order in your basket.
This is NOT requesting anything be sent to you. It's just like filling the nomination form in.
STAGE 2 - Actually asking for your choice of semen to be sent to you
Decide if you wish to order Chilled or Frozen (depending on stallion) and then place an actual order for the semen to be sent.
You can find the link to this on the top menu bar of the site or below in these links.
If you need more explanation then please also refer to our guide on using the new system and how we work with dispatches.
To be 100% CLEAR - you must do Stage 1 AND Stage 2 if you expect to receive any semen from the stallion of your choice
Please do take a moment to read through our very reasonable terms and conditions below.
- Lickley Horses acts as the UK agent for the stallions shown on this website.
- For the purpose of taxation your contract, payment and invoices originate from Van Olst Horse Bv, Netherlands. You are charged sales tax at the prevailing rate of the Netherlands. Your invoice is from them in Euro.
- Stud fees are subject to sales tax at the rate of the country of residence of the stallion owner. This is clearly shown.
- For the purposes of legal and taxation issues your contract is with the stallion owner. A receipt will be sent to you from them.
- Your contract will be for access to a limited number of doses of semen. We set this at 4 in the case of frozen semen and unlimited in the case of chilled. This is for the insemination of one mare and in the current season only. Any semen remaining at the end of the season remains the property of the stallion owner.
- No semen will be dispatched without full payment of both the nomination fee and the delivery charge.
- No guarantee of pregnancy is made in the supply of semen from these stallions.
- Customers are presumed to have digested all the relevant information, printed and verbal before ordering.
- We try to ensure the accuracy of this information however we can not be held responsible for any errors.
- Liability for the semen belongs to the stallion owner, the transport company and ultimately the customer.
- Lickley Horses will not be liable for any costs incurred as a result of a failure to deliver usable semen on time for whatever reason. This includes but is not exclusively limited to vet fees, transport costs or livery.
- Time of delivery is the responsibility of the shipping company and Lickley Horses is not liable for late delivery as indicated in the above condition. No money back guarantee or refunds are offered.
- Some studs may offer a change of stallion but this is discretionary and not within our control to authorise.
- Stallions may become unavailable during the season,or stock may run out or become unusable. In these circumstances a full refund will be offered if no semen has been dispatched, or a pro-rata offer made if semen has already been sent.
- Lickley Horses reserves the right to cancel or refuse to accept any order made without reason.
- Issues of semen quality are the responsibility of the stud or stallion owner.
- We will mediate in any discussions over this matter but liability rests solely with stallion owner or stud.
- Semen is provided for the insemination of one mare only.
- If you are engaged on an Embryo Transfer programme please indicate this clearly at time of booking.
- Additional charges will apply to additional pregnancies.
- Some studs offer discounts for this.
- NIF credits limited to the same stud and are for the next season only and in the amount of 50% of the nomination fee of the stallion used. These will only be issued upon declaration that the mare is not in foal, and before 1st October of that current year.
Frozen Semen
Is dispatched by Stallion AI Services Ltd and there is a delivery and handling charge made by them for each dose sent.
We dispatch all semen 1 dose per time. The reason for this is that once out of our control we can not return to our stocks.
Chilled Semen
Where available we will make every attempt to delivery as requested.
Due to the many variables associated with this we can not, under any circumstances, make promises of delivery date or time, or even promises of availability continually throughout the season.
Once the semen is in the hands of the courier it is the property of the mare owner.
You may always request a frozen dose to substitute for a chilled.
We will process payments for chilled services on behalf of the studs and this must be paid before the dispatch request is made.

The buying and selling activity for puts and calls can be used to help gauge investor sentiment in the market. The call put ratio measures the relationship between the numbers of calls being bought versus puts being bought. This indicator refers to all CBOE (Chicago Board of Exchange) options.
Low call put ratios are often indicative of excessive pessimism and thus of large amounts of money on being at the "sidelines." Conversely, high call put ratios indicate a point at which there is so much optimism that very little money is left to push the stock or index higher.

Phase I of parks improvements to start February 1
By LYNETTE SOWELL
Cove Leader-Press
On Wednesday evening, the Copperas Cove Parks & Recreation Department held its first quarterly town hall meeting of the year to inform residents about park programs, improvements and upcoming events. Approximately 25 residents attended the meeting.
The biggest announcement came from Parks & Recreation Director Joe Brown, who said the first phase of the park improvements projects is set to begin on February 1. The first phase includes parking lots, sidewalks, walking trails and monument signs, with each of the city's park receiving upgrades in one or all of those aspects.
City Park will receive several new parking lots, along with the creation of approximately three miles of walking trails. The ultimate plan is to roll anything that is not completed one year into the following year's projects, Brown said.
Phase two will include improvements to restrooms, concessions and storage areas at City Park, South Park, and High Chaparral, along with any phase one projects not completed. Brown gave kudos to the Copperas Cove Rotary Club which has already donated two new pavilions toward the park improvements.
The project work will kick off at City Park so that the improvements will be completed before baseball season starts, Brown said.
The department is also applying for a Texas Parks & Wildlife Grant for $200,000 which would help with some of the walking trails in City Park, which if approved, the city would also contribute $81,000 for that part of the project.
He also shared the improvements to the cemetery, to include new fencing, which is nearly completed.
"There's a lot of chatter about cemetery maintenance," Brown said, adding that it's something they've tried to work creatively on.
Brown also addressed some of the challenges his department faces, where maintaining approximately 500 acres of grass and park space, which includes the parks, cemetery, and golf course. With the current staff, it breaks down to about 31.5 acres per fulltime employee (FTE). The national average, according to the National Recreational Park Association, is 13-19 acres per FTE.
"When people come and complain, and I welcome them, and I agree with come of the cemetery maintenance complaints," said Brown. "We've worked on a number of plausible solutions to this, and none of them worked. It is left in the hands of staff to mitigate and maintain the cemetery the best we can…All the grass is an invasive weed grass that grows faster, unbelievably quick."
Nic Cantrell talked about the athletics and aquatics programs. More than 17,000 visitors spent time at the city's pool's last summer season. He was also happy to report that the splash pad in South Park pool was operational again after a hiatus of a few years.
Among the question posed by residents was that of installing disc golf at one of the parks. Brown said starting disc golf was something that could be done for less than $10,000 and agreed that Ogletree Gap park or Rhode Park would be suitable locations for installing the equipment for that.
The meeting was also recorded live on Facebook with a replay available online at the Parks & Recreation Department's Facebook page.

The cycling gloves manufacturers like Meera of Sialkot are bringing forth exclusive collection in order to meet the diversified requirements of the athletes. The re are basically two types of categories available in the market. The first one is the summer cycling gloves. These are widely used in the harsh condition of summer.

Another accessory which is widely demanded by the athletes is the jerseys. Nowadays, the customized range is in high demand. The cycling jersey manufacturers are offering their range in attractive designs and shades. Moreover, they are offering fully customized range in order to meet the demands of the teams.

"Quite a strong statement?", you say? Well then, why did so many influential men throughout history sport this style. You can start googling generals of war and emperors of nations and find everyone from Abraham Lincoln, to Sean Connery, even how we remember Jesus (although those blue eyes and highlights still crack me up!).
If you're all about joining this legendary league but don't think you can make it, try these steps to growing your facial follicles faster. The biggest illusion out there is the belief that you can't grow a beard at all, which is pretty improbable.
Care for that Face!
1- Keep your skin clean. Wash it with warm water and a mild cleanser every morning and evening. Clean skin for hair growth. When I asked Beth Morrell, Paramedical Aesthetician and Laser Technician, she suggested I use Revision Skincare's Brightening Facial Wash. It's a glycolic and salicylic acid combo that cleans nicely.
Exfoliate! Try a scrub at least once a week. Removing dead skin cells can stimulate new hair growth but will definitely help whiskers grow without skin getting in the way. (Who needs those red bumps anyway?!)
I like to both cleanse and exfoliate at the same time, so Beth has me using SkinMedica's AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser. It's a two-in-one deep cleanser with gentle exfoliating beads. It's mild enough for daily use so I don't need to carry the extra product.
2- After every cleansing, I moisturize with SkinMedica's Ultra Sheer Moisturizer because it's light weight and not sticky. Keeping the skin moisturized is useful in helping hair grow more easily. And while you're there, check your face and neck for ingrown hairs. Beards will not grow in evenly if there are ingrown hairs on your face. Keep a tweezer on hand and gently pull the hair to straighten, *not plucking it out*.
Take Care of Yo'self!
1- Get plenty of rest and exercise. Sleep will help your damaged skin repair and promote beard growth. Exercise improves blood flow, and good circulation rushes all those nutrients to where they belong!
2- Take your pills! Yeah, mom was right. Incorporating vitamins and biotin into your diet helps you all around! Specifically, vitamins B1, B6, B12 and E are useful in helping hair grow quickly. And about 2.5 mg of biotin every day can help your beard grow in more. You can get those supplements from any vitamin shop or health food store.
(Buyer beware! Vitamins that stimulate hair growth work on ALL hair, so get ready for some manscaping.)
3- Watch that mouth! Or at least what goes in it. Increase the amount of protein in your diet. The proteins found in meat, fish, eggs and nuts will grow facial hair faster. But don't forget your fruits and veggies. Hair cannot grow without the proper nutrients in the body, and fruits and veggies provide several of the vitamins and minerals hair needs to grow quickly.
Defy the urge to trim or shape your beard. If you want the hair to come in quickly, leave it alone! You will have the chance to groom the beard after about 4 to 6 weeks when it's fuller. And no, shaving does not make hair grow quicker or thicker. Otherwise, we'd never go bald! The old wives' tale is just that. Shaving your beard will only reduce the amount of hair on your face, not bring it in more rapidly.
Something to remember:
New hair can be a pain in the neck! Those new hairs growing in might be coarser than other hair you're use to. And because your beard may not all grow at the same speed, your face might get itchy or irritated.
One solution I use and recommend is beard oil. These usually contain essential oils that can help soothe skin while softening whiskers. This would make it better for the grower… and the kisser!
(All products mentioned specifically are available at Elan Skin & Laser Center.)

In 2004 the band ii subtly waved a welcome sign under my nose, as their track "Little Paper Body,' a part of the SBS Whatever Sessions 2 compile, lulled its way into my consciousness. Close to four years later that same band has released their debut full length recording, and with it a number of melodies that will maunder into your memory, but only just. Through sonic developments and harmonic progressions ii deliver Landlakes, and it's not a moment too soon.
With one handset and a bad line I have ii on the phone. Choosing who to ask which question is a difficult task, since the two seem indecipherable on record. Jon Tjhia, one half of the self described sound/noise/ambient/instrumental pop two-piece agrees.
"I know that when listening back to things often it's hard to tell who' done what and that, to me, is a really good sign because it means that we're both on the same page and we're not just ploughing away with our own distinctive motifs and sounds. And it also means that hopefully we've got enough varied methods that our own creations aren' instantly recognisable and therefore a bit predictable.â€
Having worked together in various outfits over the last seven years, ii seems to be the one that fits for Jon and Alex Nosek, the other half of one of Melbourne' most understated acts. Through soundscapes the two piece together melodies and intrigue with arrangements, hinting at so many genres but failing to fall into any of them. Their debut record, Landlakes, captures that perfectly, in a tight finished package of just under 40 minutes. To get it to that point took a little longer.
"We probably started recording it, or bits and pieces that appeared on it, over the last two years. And we did it all in various studio arrangements in the last two houses I've lived in. We pretty much did it all ourselves, besides a bit of help from Danny [Jumpertz, Alpen/Plankton, and co-runs Feral Media, home to ii and Landlakes]. Danny came down to Melbourne once and recorded us with his stuff, and that kind of just freed us up to use my computer as a processing thing in a live situation rather than doing it later on. But it was just basically putting it together for a long time, and being pretty meticulous about all the details, working very carefully through it all.â€
The process surprises me a little. Even though I have ears, and a listen to Landlakes makes it quite obvious it's not a record that could be done, live, by two people, I've always thought of ii as an improvisational group, and have come to expect an improv-like evolution in the way their songs develop. The evolution might be appropriately ascribed, but it seems I'm mildly off point with the rest.
"I don' really think of us as strictly improvisational [in approach],†Alex suggests. "I think we do whatever to get to something we're happy with. Whether that's really meticulous arrangements in the studio, or – I think a lot of the things on there were just random takes that I think at the time we weren' even contemplating would end up on the record.
"I guess, you know, I think studios – using the studio as an instrument was a big part of the record, and if we did have sections that we weren' happy with amongst sections that we were happy with, then we would cut and paste amongst it… [There was] a lot of reviewing, kind of knowing where something deliberate might fit nicely with something that's improvised. That kind of sounds like cheating…
"I think that a lot of the things that we come up with in improvisation, if they don' end up in their pure form on the record – which a lot of things did – they kind of prompt us in a certain direction or hint at an idea that we can develop, so in that sense…†Jon adds, "the whole idea of improvisation isn' contained to doing one take in real time, it might be that we sort of have something, and we think it needs something else, so we'll go and improvise in that direction and see what that can produce in terms of recordings, and see where the two meet – see where things fit together. It might be that one sound comes from one piece, and we might think that it fits better in another piece so we'll bring it over.â€
The two explain that this can be as specific as lifting one of their sounds and relocating it in a different context, so essentially taking improvisation as a sound source where the end point is as much the product of the way sounds are arranged and interact with each other as the actual sounds that are used.
"It's really flexible,†Jon continues. "I guess in addition to what Alex was saying before about the way we approached recording, and how he said it felt like cheating a bit to go back and edit things that we didn' like from improv – my personal view is that when you have a five piece band or a ten piece band versus having a two piece band it's pretty unfair in terms of what you can produce live, and there' a huge gap between what two people can do in front of an audience and what ten people can do, and it's not to say one' better, it's just a different range of capabilities, but I think the studio' a pretty good thing to have in terms of creating a level playing field. To me there' not really such a thing as cheating because people don' listen to records because – well some people listen to records because they want to record people playing in a room but for us that's not really the underlying philosophy – the studio' there as part of the process to making a disc that has, you know, however many elements of music on it which we like and which we want to show people.â€
So duos aren' the least common band formation, right? But with ii it seems less default, more a defining feature. Quite simply, it's literally there in the band name, but beyond that their music plays out like an intimate and involved conversation between two minds, rather than a restricted movement towards a finishing point.
"I think it's a lot easier to be decisive [in a two piece], and you can kind of – I find with a bigger group of people if you're not the loudest one, or the loudest three, it's quite easy to let your ideas just slip by because people have already added so many things you feel like, you know, too many cooks and maybe you should just let things go the direction they're going,†Jon states as an informed opinion, rather than a comment laced with malice.
"I think we're pretty good at communicating what sort of direction we want to go in and also what we like and don' like about certain things. For better or worse the filtering process is pretty brutal because if one of us doesn' like something, if one of us really doesn' like something, that's 50% of the vote against and that means that hopefully the stuff we do keep is – I don' know about better – but it's more agreeable to both of us so we can get behind it fully.
"I don' think we could have had five people in a room obsessing over things with more detail than which we did, the two of us.â€
And that's what it comes down to. Even though they're Jon' words, they reflect the driving force of ii as a democratic collaboration: obsession. Jon spends his spare time writing songs as Scissors for Sparrow and drumming in Aleks and the Ramps, while Alex is a contributor to both Scissors for Sparrow and Oblako Lodka, which are projects they work on after tetrising all their other commitments (like full time work) together and finding the gaps in between. When you're using words like tetris to describe your free time you know that you're running on passion, and obsession as its natural derivative.
"We don' talk about what we're going to do before we start playing so there' an extra little thrill when something great happens and we both like it,†Jon buzzes down the line. "Sometimes you're sitting there with a guitar or a keyboard under your fingers and your mind pauses for a second and realises that all this stuff that you're hearing wasn' really planned in any way and it just kind of came out of the musical conversation with somebody.â€
Throw two music nerds in a room together with instruments with a seemingly endless recording process and similarly endless musical conversation – condensing the hours upon hours of tape to something that's not going to soundtrack the rest of your year is going to require some obsession.
The result?
"I think Jon' really creative in the studio and he probably thinks about sound in a different way to the way I think about it. Particularly adding little bits and pieces that skirt around the outside of the core idea,†Alex suggests, when trying to isolate what it is that makes ii ii, and what each i brings to the collective.
And for Alex? "Texture in the sound is really important to me and even though we are often making music that's quite ambient I'm really into building momentum, but quite gradually. I don' want it to sound like we're into these big crescendos or whatever, like a lot of bands are, but kind of like there is movement, that it's not all this vague wafty background sound, but that there actually is movement and transition. I guess even in straight up pop songs I think when there is a transition between a chorus or a verse that's what I like about music in general. I [also]think melody is really crucial.†In the notes I made for myself going into this interview I had "choose your own adventure†scrawled in my page' margin. A little embarrassed to admit it now, but throughout my first and second rotation of Landlakes my mind would pick up motifs, different ones on each occasion, and almost create a different listening experience, nae, different records through that shifting focus. Obviously I was as important in making Landlakes as Jon and Alex were. No. Not really.
While we're talking about ambitious listeners, where Alex cites the importance of melody in what is a predominantly texturally focused record, he plays his part in the super couple and passes over the handset while suggesting Jon might have something to say on the topic of melody.
"Like Alex said, it's really important even though a lot of the music is quite noisy, to keep an element of melody in there – definitely for me.†For the sake of full disclosure I know this – on Jon' (music social networking site) last.fm page he clocks up a massive 2,384 listens of Broadcast, the epitome of noise pop.
"I listen to a lot of noisy music, maybe a little earlier on; I don' listen to that much pure noisy music now. [Our sound] kind of comes a lot from our influences as well – at least definitely for me – I listen to a lot of girly music.†He clarifies that by that he means Broadcast, but I think the gendering is unnecessary, and that involved pop is really what he means.
"I feel like [Broadcast'] whole schtick is to kind of create melodic pop songs with interesting sonic things going on, and introducing noisy things to that kind of paradigm. Whereas for us it's not always like this but in some ways it's kind of the opposite, a lot of the things that we put together in the studio especially try to kind of add a pop music element to this music that would otherwise be kind of inaccessible… I can' say that it's always a conscious thing. I guess personally speaking pieces don' tend to feel complete unless they've got the things we like to listen to in them.â€
ii: perfectly fulfilling the adage of making music for the right reasons, and comfortably co-opting pieces of your heart, your brain and your smiles along the way.

Sweden and Norway have historically been periodic enemies and allies; mid 19th century political pressures even generating the idea of a Scandinavian united kingdom with the addition of Denmark to compete against rising German influence. Though that proposal by Charles XV of Sweden didn't arise, the relative late-coming of the industrial revolution and globalisation undoubtedly galvanised their symbiotic relationship. A dualism that sought ever greater regional industrial and financial strength versus an initially an increasingly competitive Europe, and more recently, Rest of World.
Since its birth effectively for 1915 with SKF/Volvo trucks and 1924 for Volvo cars, and the 1947 for SAAB, Swedish Automotive has benefited from Norwegian oil reserves and dual-country petroleum refining. Although Norway is the world's 7th largest oil exporter, gaining 25% of its GDP from its black-gold', and Sweden has claimed it seeks to have a 100% non-fossil-fuel car parc by 2025, the realistic inter-dependency between cars and oil to date - and crucially into the mid-term – cannot be refuted.
Having to juggle the Scandinavian set of economic & ecological ideals against the constraints of today's regional economic concerns and its related effects upon intra-regional, self-protecting, industrial policy-making, is becoming increasingly fraught.
Prime examples of the fragile situation have come to light recently with:
1. The "repatriated" PE investment of a near confirmed SAAB (with EIB-Norwegian-Russian backing) and now possibly Volvo Cars (via US led Crown Consortium with respective US-Swedish backing)
2. The objection to the VW-Porsche amalgamation by Norges Bank Investment Management – Norway's State Pension Fund, a division of the nation's Central Bank.($325bn asset-base Q408)
Scandinavia's industrial luminaries well recognise the massive global-wide potential for the 'eco-premium' brand foundations of its 2 well-regarded 'homeland' marques. However, whilst the future looks good, the present-day financing for both companies is still not fully secured; respectively drawn from confirmed and proposed Scandinavian PE sources – the latter requited if the Chinese Geely bid fails. Even with big-name and big-family investors behind the deals - such as Bard Eker & Augie Fabela and possibly the Wallenbergs – both firms have needed interim EIB (national-government-backed) bridging finance given the eased but still tentative access to held & borrowed capital.
(Understandably, the Swedish government is not keen to work itself into a political corner, the way arguably the US government has with GM, so is reliant on the EIB as partial funding intermediary with heavy-weight domestic investment groups refining future business-models and long-term funding).
Thus Volvo & SAAB require a level of subtle protectionism of their own until they are past their re-formation phase.
Furthermore, Valmet Automotive, the Finnish contract vehicle manufacturer is also threatened by the VW-Porsche plan given its reliance on the Porsche Boxster contract (as of 1997) and Porsche Cayman contract (as of 2005), these high-margin contracts due to end in 2012. Having watched the resultant Merkel-Magna that so benefits German workers, it will be concerned that all future Porsche assembly will be undertaken in Stuttgart and potentially Wolfsburg. Valmet is undoubtedly concerned about loss of income, its order book replaced now with only low volume Fisker PHEV sports-saloon and low-margin TH!NK City car and Garia Golf Car assembly. {NB Valmet and Investinor – the Norwegian government backed fund - have interests in the recently re-capitalised TH!NK Global).
However, investment-auto-motives expects Valmet will also be used by SAAB and Volvo as a continued Special Vehicle Operations base for their own Hybrid, PHEV & niche series variants. This should help balance the order book, and it is believed that this initiative will be used as a showcase to re-attract Porsche's patronage.
To the crux of the matter...
...investment-auto-motives conjects that given the level of official and unofficial inter-play between Sweden, Norway and Finland, that Sweden with its powerful investor-base and Finland with its own Norwegian interests, could have added additional weight to Norges Bank Investment Management's Norwegian objection of the merging of VW and Porsche.
This does not of course preclude Norge's own primary concerns regards the alleged dis-proportionate benefit gained by the Porsche and Piech families from the M&A relative to smaller stock holders – Norges Bank reported being VW's 7th largest stock-holder – but simply that there may be important related strategic side-issues that effect the maintainance of Scandinavia's own investment / economic harmony.
The objection itself sent to the VW supervisory board cited that the deal.."fails to assure that the plans will benefit VW shareholders equitably....neither does the information available assure us that the conflicts of interest have been handled satisfactorily. In total, therefore the deal appears unacceptable" [especially since] "Porsche is in more need of the transaction than VW".
Such investor interloping could well intendedly slow the legal process of VW-Porsche integration, this in turn slowing the project-specific platform/technology sharing that VW seeks to integrate from Porsche into Audi and vice-versa. For as we've seen with BMW's Efficient Dynamics vehicles there is real potential for the German's to undermine, or at least mimic, the intrinsic "eco-premium DNA" of SAAB and Volvo and so their USP in the regional and global automotive marketplaces.
Eco-Premium hatch-backs, saloons, coupes and convertibles are the play-book for the revitalisation of "Scandinavian Autos AB", and Sweden – as it should - will be greatly concerned about Germany's momentum in this arena; particularly Audi relative to the B, C, C/D & E segments and Porsche relative to dedicated & shared-tech coupe & convertible variants. Moreover, Opel's new owner Magna International seeks to re-structure and re-establish Opel, very probably as both continued in-market presence and use of Opel assets for 3rd party contract manufacturing.
Thus whilst certain sections of Scandinavia will not wish to antagonise German clientele, there is a far bigger picture 'industrial interest story' that emerges from the very inter-connectedness of the region and the emerging threat from a structurally radically altered German auto-sector.
This means that the vitally important abilities of situational analysis and interpretation will have to be concise, as will the accordant sensitive activism that follows. So far Scandinavia and Norges Bank Investment Management seems to have handled the situation well and passive-aggressively, a rare example of activism on behalf of publicly-held monies.
Others from similarly placed peers, from Californian CALPERS to Singaporean GIC funds, would do well to watch how Norges conducts itself from here on, a case-study of our times regards the guardianship of public monies set within a complex political context.
International Economics and International Diplomacy, as ever, consequential bed-fellows.
But for one and all, a case no doubt of: "watch this space"...or..."ur denne mellomrum" (Norwegian)..."se den har utrymme" (Swedish)..."katsella nyt kuluva asettaa" (Finnish).
