|The present paper examines the 1989 collapse of communist rule in East-Central Europe (ECE) and the subsequent developments by focusing on the countries that experienced a regime change in 1989, i.e., Poland, Hungary, former GDR and Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and Romania. Thus, revolution, reform and reconciliation with the recent past are key concepts in terms of the present analysis. The main argument put forward by this study is that the nature of the 1989 regime change has influenced to a large extent the subsequent developments in the respective countries, especially with regard to the processes of democratization and integration into the European structures. Equally important, it influenced the way in which the wrongdoings of the defunct communist regimes were dealt with. This study is concerned with three major issues: (1) the nature of regime change; (2) the factors that determined the speed of the democratic consolidation process; and (3) the ways of coming to terms with the communist pasts, and consists of two main sections. The first section proposes an explanatory model of the collapse of communist dictatorships in ECE centered on a culturalist-structuralist approach and demonstrates that the regime change in ECE was determined by a complex aggregation of three kinds of factors (structural, nation-specific and conjunctural). Furthermore, this section shows that the particular aspects of regime change at country level were determined in each case by the interplay of regime and community political subcultures. The second section discusses two major aspects of democratic transition for the cases considered: (1) the pace of democratic transformation; and (2) the issue of coming to terms with the communist past. Thus, this second section is divided into two parts. The first part examines the speed of political and economic reforms and argues that in those countries in which the political transformation went hand in hand with the economic reform the transition was shorter. Establishing a delicate equilibrium between "institutional design" and "invisible hand" turned out to be the key for a more rapid and therefore less tortuous transition. The second part of this section is concerned with the problem of coming to terms with the past and the adoption of lustration legislation. The present study argues that the nature of the regime change has largely influenced the strategy of fulfilling the "backward looking" task of the post-1989 regimes during the 1989-1999 period. In dealing with the wrongdoings of the defunct communist regimes in the six countries under scrutiny, one should discern between: (1) application of early lustration (former East Germany and Czechoslovakia); (2) late initiation of lustration as a result of political competition (Poland and Romania, 1997, respectively, 1999); and (3) very limited lustration in Hungary and Bulgaria. Nevertheless, unified Germany stands out as an exceptional case in terms of scope and outcome of the process of transitional justice.

The xwáyxway mask has protruding eyes, a gaping mouth with a large protruding tongue, and a bird's head for a nose, two bird-head horns, and a crest of feathers.
The late Mary Clifton, who was Island
Comox, explained that the Quinsam (kwániwsam)
area is best known as the place where the Island Comox
xwáyxway mask and two "first
ancestors" appeared. Mrs. Clifton explained how
two first ancestors together with a xwáyxway
mask "dropped down from the sky"
at Quinsam, in the territory of the í7iksen
group of the Island Comox. These first ancestors were
a woman named Tísitl'a and a man
named Shálhk'em. Through
them, Mary Clifton stated, the Island Comox people had the rights
to the xwáyxway mask. Mrs. Clifton believed
that the place name kwániwsam, meaning
'resting place' in Island Comox,
is related to this story, in that the people who "brought
down" this mask "rested" here.

My wife and I were recently invited by my boss and his wife for dinner at Per Se in 2 weeks, as a thank you to me for helping him at the last minute to finish a daunting project
My wife and I are extremely excited to go, but the only thing is my wife hates seafood which is a decent portion of the tasting menu. She would be more than glad to eat any meat and vegetable they put in front of her. Would they make a substitution for her throughout the menu ( she eats most everything else and doesn;t want to end up having to order the vegetable tasting because of her distaste for seafood ? I know people would give their eye teeth to go to Per Se and we are very excited. I don't want to seem bothersome to the restaurant.

Knockin' On Heaven's Book - Poem by Jeffe Ovie
On heaven's book
You go knocking
With hope to enter
A merciful piece,
A paradise' place
Which would avoid
All evil's faces
Settled as a hook.
Such place doesn't exist
And it will be vain
To knock at any doors,
Thinking that behind,
Heaven and Hell
Can be separated,
Can be isolated.
Such place doesn't exist.
As long as there is
Night gloom then day light,
Heaven and Hell
Are from the same material.
The two sides
Of one single whole.
Heaven as Hell
Exist only in us even,
Deep in our heart.
The battle settles there,
And nowhere else.
On heaven's book
You go knocking
With hope to enter
A peaceful land.
and this land does exist.
Its name is
And it's made
Of the same material
Than Heaven and Hell:
Note: dedicated to Shashendra Amalshan's poem 'The Devil's hook and the Heaven's book'

Designer Marc Jacobs says he wasn't worried about stripping off for the campaign for his new men's fragrance Bang, as he had been working out.
Marc Jacobs says he wasn't worried about stripping off for his latest fragrance campaign.
The fashion designer appears almost naked in the adverts for his new men's scent Bang - which he co-created with fragrance firm Coty and business partner Robert Duffy - but was always quietly confident the final results would look good.
He said: "Rob decided I was in pretty good shape and I ran with it. I wasn't nervous at all - I keep in shape and go the gym a lot anyway so no I didn't have to do much preparing. I've been working out forever. I take pride in grooming."
Marc - who launched his first menswear fragrance with an exclusive party in London last night (22.07.10) - recently revealed how he'd chosen the name Bang because the moniker had a "sexual connotation".
He said: "The name came to me first. We had been approached by Coty to do another men's scent - we did one many years ago - and I was in the gym, and the name Bang came to me.
"As a word, it has so many connotations, including a sexual connotation. And I loved the immediacy and the sound of the word. For me, fragrance is always a multilayered process - Bang was the catalyst for how this fragrance came to be. You're drawn to try it, to experience it."

Letter(s) from Elena Aklanova to Edgar (Italy)
Letter 1
Hello, my name is Elena. I'm 25. I live in Russia, city Khabarovsk. I like your profile and I would like to correspond with you. Write me directly to my e-mail address: email@example.com I wait for your letter.
Letter 2
Hello, Edgar. Thanks a lot for writing me and sending me your pictures. I like them really much. You seem to be very cute. It is really pleasant for me to get your letter. You know, it is not very new for me to seek for my partner through the Internet. I started my search two years ago, but when i thought I found my destiny, I had really bad experience. And that's why I stopped corresponding with anybody. And now one year passed and I decided to look for my destiny one more time. I don't really know if I will meet him or not, but I will try to do my best to do it. As you know, my name is Elena Aklanova. I live in Khabarovsk, it the the city on the far East of Russia. I know that it is my native city, but I don't really like it and the climate here is awful. I was in Saint-Petersburg and I really enjoyed living there, although I spent there only a couple of weeks. I graduated from the Pedagogical University of Khabarovsk and I work as teacher of English in private school here in Khabarovsk. I'm not well paid, although it is a private school, not the normal state school. I'm quite well paid in comparison with the teachers of the normal school, but it is not enough to live good here. Everything is really expensive, but anyway I used to live as I live. I like my job, I like children and nobody is guilty that the profession I enjoy the most is not well paid here, in Russia. I don't really care. As for me, I like music, travelling, hikes and camping. I don't smoke at all, but I can drink some vine very occasionally and with the good company. I like to go to the theatre and to the cinema. I also enjoy photography. I like to take the photos of myself. I don't have the camera, but my father has his friend, who has his own studio. He likes to take my photos, he tells that I'm really pretty and I might be a model. But I'm not really interested in the carrier of the model. As for me, I live with my father and my grandmother. I can't afford me to buy a separate apartment for me and so I need to live together with them. As for my partner, I want to see him as HONEST, HONORABLE, KIND-HEARTED, LOVING AND CARING PERSON. If you think you are such a person, write me and I will be glad to start to correspond with you. I wait for you letter with impatience.
P.S. I don't want to have a long-term correspondence, I prefer to meet my partner and to know him personally. I think that meeting in most cases is better than million letters. In fact, I just don't want to be disappointed after the long period of time. So, if you think you feel the same, I wait for your letter. Moreover, I will have a vocation soon and I would be pleased to meet with you. Please, let me know what you think about it, OK??
Best regards
Letter 3
Hello, dear Edgar!! Thanks a lot for your letter to me. I appreciate you being faithful and honest with me. I read your letter and I feel that I correspond with an alive man. You have your feelings and your points of view. and I like it really much. You know we completely don't know each other and I would like to tell you about my family. I live, as I mentioned in my first letter, with my father and my grandmother. My mother left us 3 years ago for another man. My father worked as an executive director in the company which supplied Khabarovsk with a natural gas. He was a successful businessman and we lived very well (I mean financially) and were really happy together. I don't know why, but my mother was not really happy with my father although he was and still really good and family man. She wanted someone special and so she decided to leave him and the family. She began to date with another man, my father's companion from work. He was also a rich man and it seemed to me that my mother began to feel happy with my father's friend. My father was really upset and frustrated and he began to drink a lot of alcohol. Month by month he constantly drank and finally he lost his good job, sold his car and our cottage near Khabarovsk. So we needed to move to grandmother's flat in Khabarovsk. He drank a lot and became the real alcoholic. I tried to do my best to save him from his problem but nothing helped. In a few month he decided to stop drinking, because we lived really miserable. My mother didn't help us, because she was still angry at me, because I refused to live with her and another man. So my father stopped drinking and one of his former friends proposed a working place for him in FSB (FEDERAL SECURITY SERVICE) archive here in Khabarovsk. He is not really well paid, but he is alive and it is the most important. The other problem is that I don't want my future husband to be Russian(I haven't ever seen the man who could treat the woman as he should do) and so I look for the man abroad in the Internet. But it is impossible for me to meet with the man from abroad here in Russia. In case if I decide to meet with the man from abroad here, my father surely will loose his job. I know that it is really hard, but it is his job and I don't want him to have such a problems. You know the person who works in Secret Services or their relatives can't have any connections with foreigners. But I surely decided that I wanted to find the right man for me from abroad. And nobody can stop me of doing that. So if we decide to meet one day, the place of our meeting couldn't be Russia. I hope that you understand me. You see that I'm a really problematic person and my story isn't funny or romantic at all. I just wanted you to know the truth. You know I wanted to tell you one more thing that after reading of your letter I had a warm feeling inside. Let's know each other better. I wait for your letter with impatience.
Sincerely, Elena
P.S. I send you the pictures I have for the moment. As soon as I get scanned new ones I will send them to you, Ok?? Also, please, let me know if you can meet with me during my vocation in the middle of August. it is really important to me. I hope that you understand me, dear.
Best regards
Letter 4
Hello, my darling Edgar!! Thanks a lot for your caring letter and I want to apologize for non-responding you earlier. my dear aunt had a heart attack and All these days I was at the hospital helping her. I had a lot of work to do today!! I had 9 lessons and I'm really tired now. But I have a great surprise - a letter from you!! I need to say that the moments when I can read your warm words and write you my letters become ones of the the happiest in my life!! You know, I want to tell you that I was a little bit upset when I read your letter. Don't think that I'm a person that goes anywhere for someone's money to be happy after two letters. I'm not such a person at all. I had a lot of letters offering me to go to see the world, but I read your letters and I thought that you were probably the person I was looking for a long time. I hope that you understand what I'm telling you about. I know that you do. Also you wrote that I'm welcome to come to you during my vocation. There are several tours in travel agency to go to Italy for vocation and I would really like to meet you personally. I think that only after the meeting you can have the full picture about the person. I don't believe in the feeling which rise during the Internet correspondence. Please, let me know the city of my arrival in Italy if you are still interested in our meeting, of course. as son as I get this information from you, I will go to the travel agency to find out the final price for the full trip to you and let you know about everything, OK dear E***?? So, I wait with impatience to see your next letter in my mail box with the news from you. Also, please, let me know if you can help me with covering of my trip expenses. I don't know at the money the final price for the full trip to Italy, but I think I won't have enough to pay for the full trip myself. The time will show anyway.....
By the way, how is the weather in your country?? We have very different temperatures (mostly cold)!! But today is quite warm - +27C, and it is not windy at all!! So I decided to have a walk by feet from the school to the Internet Cafe. You have no idea what wonderful weather is outside!! Khabarovsk is a very beautiful city with a very ancient architecture!! I love this city! The home nation of Khabarovsk are Russians here (mostly Christians)!! By the way, Khabarovsk is a very criminal city, so in the evening it is very dangerous to walk alone!! But I prefer to stay home in the evening!! I would really like to travel and see other Russian cities and also other countries all over the world, but at the moment I don't have any opportunity to do this!! I would really like to know more about your traditions and customs of your country, way of life of your people!! Because I think every woman should know what the man wants!! Do you think so?? I thought a lot why I started to correspond with you!! I don't know why, but I have a feeling that you are a good person!! I wait for your letter with impatience!
Your Elena.
P.S. I attach the another picture that I scanned recently, I hope that you will like it as well as previous ones. It was taken about 1 month ago.
Best regards
Letter 5
Hello, my dear Edgar! Now I'm in the Internet Cafe. I've just come to check my mail for one second. I am very happy to receive a letter from you. In your letters you show your interest to me, and it is very pleasant for me. After receiving of your letter, I went straight to the travel agency. There is a special offer for going to Italy, with arrival to Rome as a tourist. Travel agent told me that it would take him about 2 weeks to get all the documents ready after I pay all the trip expenses to him. He told me that there will not be any problems with getting of touristic visa to Italy. He explained what sorts of documents I needed to have before he start arranging of the trip to you. Travel agency gives very special offers right now and if we use travel agency, we will save a lot of money. The final price of the full trip to you will be USD800. This tour is for 2 weeks and it includes touristic visa to Italy, insurance list, accommodation in Silva hotel there, meals two times a day and the plane tickets from Khabarovsk to Moscow, from Moscow to Rome and back. He told me that it was the best price for today. Also travel agent told me that it was really good for me that I got the International Passport and now he doesn't have to spend the time for getting it. I know that there are a lot of people in the Internet looking for the someone's money only. I'm not the one. I understand that without knowing each other it is really hard to believe in existence of the person. So, to assure you that I'm real, I send you the scanned copy of the International Passport that I got in June. I thought it would be possible for me to go somewhere abroad to know someone personally, that's why I got the Passport beforehand. I hope that all your doubts will be destroyed. I think that I can also save some money - I think I will have about USD300 soon. I hope that you understand me, dear E***. I think that it would be the best to use travel agency to arrange the full trip for me, because they make everything from the beginning to the end themselves. It would be more useful for me, because I work now and I have to work a lot, I don't have much free time. Please, let me know if you have the possibility to help me with the rest of the sum to cover my trip expenses in your next letter, OK??
I need to say that it is very useful for me to use the Internet Cafe to write you, because this Cafe is situated near the private school I work in. I'm not a well-paid, but the money is not the main thing in my life. The most important for me is the interior world of the person I want to be with. I note that every time I get your letter, my heart sings with the happiness. I can tell you that I spend the happiest moments of my day in the Internet Cafe writing a letter to you, my sunshine!! I thought a lot why I have chosen your profile, may be it is a sign from above. Do you trust in it? I do. Today we have a very good weather. I finished my classes and decided to go for a walk down the street in such fine day. I saw lots of happy people.... I liked those who kissed each other on the bus stop and in the cars. I smiled, when I saw a happy couple waiting for a bus, because they seemed to be so happy together. Isn't it romantic?!! I would like to give them all I had. I wished them to be happy and to be such romantic as they are now!! Also it was insignificant, what weather was in the street. I decided to show a couple of sentences of your letter to my beloved mummy. Mummy read the letter and said that you were probably a nice person. I was afraid of that she got angry at me, because of my new correspondence with you. But I knew that she should know it. She is always worrying about me a lot. She would like to see me with a good person. I need to tell that you and me begin to understand and feel each other!! It is very important. We should trust each other. The lie is a very bad thing. My mummy have been teaching me to tell the truth since the childhood. So we should trust each other completely!! I believe that you won't play a dirty game with me!! I know that I won't survive next time. And I'm afraid of it, afraid of being off the road. I need to close here!! I wait for your soon reply!!
Your Elena

Thanks to Todd for telling me about the IRT homework study #3 which did the same thing, and that let me compare my results with theirs. I had an error in my Excel which made the time get out of sync and that compounded and ended up making the last period H/L more often. Doing these stats in Excel is a bit complicated, but worth the time & effort in my opinion.
I updated my previous post, but here is the updated chart:
This fits better with convential sayings that the first period is most often the H/L. Lately that may not seem like the case, we've had many mid-day reversals. But over several years, that is the correct pattern.
The last time period is the second most likely to be high low. And since by the last 90 minutes, we already know if the first few periods are likely to be high or low, we can guess the last period will be the opposite and use that for a directional bias if supported by context.
Another important implication of this is that trying to fade the intraday trend mid-session is not a good idea.

Sunny Dress
The inspiration: a pair of shoes by Goody Goody that were too cute to not be bought.
The starting point: Butterick B4110, a great pattern for beginner or experienced sewers with a lot of different options.
The twist: Calico appliqués to repeat the carrot, turnip and beet motif on the shoes. Stitch witchery + embroidery thread to secure the appliqué pieces, and we're in business.
The finishing touches: Velcro closures on the back, since babies spend a lot of time on their backs and don't need buttons digging into them, a pair of britches to go underneath, a crocheted sun hat, and we have the trimmings for the most styling little bean under the sun.

Rumsfeld urged reporters to tell the complete story about Iraq - the progress as well as the violence that tends to dominate the headlines.
He questioned why people "see hundreds of stories on the negative side and handfuls of stories on the positive side about what is going on."
The RNC video ad addresses this superbly!
"Retreat and Defeat are NOT an option"
Thanks for the ping!

7 reasons why some women don't 'cooperate' during overnight visits
Women often say no on the first night for many reasons.
1. Poor wooing skills
Every woman wants to be nicely 'tuned'. If you can't dispense honey-coated lyrics, don't be fooled that expensive night outs will do the trick.
Most men, for their lack of effort or woman's fear of date rape, only get what we call 'mercy shag'.

- 20 Things Women Should Never, Ever, Do
2. Dirty house
Some men live in really disgusting homes. That obviously will make the woman doubt his whole-body hygiene.
It means the man is dirty and you can't sleep with a dirty man in a dirty home. No woman wants germs down there!
3. Blame the hormones
Sometimes the hormones can act up. You might start seeing spots of blood in your panty and are too embarrassed to tell the guy.
So you just deny him without any explanation. Period.
4. Terrible kisser and romance skills
During foreplay or any time you have a trial make-out, you may realise the man is a terrible kisser or his romance skills need a lot of updating.
That is a definite turn off.
4. His other woman or ex's stuff is all over the house
This only means that you are either obsessed with her or are still dating. And some women won't wish to lead a man astray.
5. You share a house with somebody else
There are women who won't wish to sleep in a man's house if they share it with anybody. You can't just sexile the housemate.
Or make someone sleep on the couch. Conscientious women never let that happen.
6. If you like the guy
When you like the guy and you want to date him, for a long time, you may deny him the goods.
You want him to think that you are not easy to get.
7. The guy is hairy
The guy may have some bodily feature that is just a turn off.
Various women have something that turns them off, and they can never recover from that.

In doing research on this site, guys have different methods of accomplishing the goal of good soil contact and germination. I'm curious what method you use? This is a loaded question but could you give some type of guarantee... Say if I slit seed and you water at least once a day that 85% of the seed will germinate? Fescue is dying out here and it is only about 16-20% of my customer base, but its a nice fall income producer.

Petaling Jaya, Malaysia (PressExposure) September 14, 2012 -- http://www.serenityyogaretreats.com/, the first Serenity Yoga workshop in Kuala Lumpur is set to happen on October 6-7, 2012. However, after a week and a half of opening the registration to the yoga workshop, the slots were completely filled. Mahindra Raj, the yogi behind Serenity Yoga Retreats Workshop, expressed his gratitude to all those who registered early on. Raj said, "I wanted to keep my workshop as intimate and personalized as possible so we made sure to accept a small number of yoga participants."
The workshop created interest because Mahindra Raj is a yogi and at the same time a licensed life coach who uses Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Spiritual Response Therapy and other forms of "Energy Healing". The workshop offers a different approach to yoga and was open to beginner level up to intermediate level. It was also said that some of the participants are flying in to Kuala Lumpur to attend the yoga workshop.
Serenity Yoga Retreats Studio also conducts private yoga classes and meditation classes on selected days. Mahindra also mentioned about plans of offering free yoga classes and free meditation classes once a week but the exact dates will be exclusively announced on his contact list.
Mahindra Raj has been trained and inspired by an expert yogi in Mexico, Tias Little. Mahindra brought to Kuala Lumpur the knowledge on Prajna yoga. It's an entirely different type of yoga that not all yogi enthusiasts has experienced or learned.
Serenity Yoga Retreats will soon announce the next schedule for their second yoga workshop. To be one of the first to receive the information, be sure to sign up on their subscription form. For more information, please visit http://www.serenityyogaretreats.com/

Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer has weeks to ensure his company is complying with a European Union antitrust order or face fines...
Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer has weeks to ensure his company is complying with a European Union antitrust order or face fines of as much as $5 million a day, the EU's top antitrust regulator said.
Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes told Ballmer at a meeting in Brussels Tuesday that Microsoft risks fines as high as 5 percent of its daily revenue unless it abides by the antitrust order.
"We are not in a position to say that we are satisfied that Microsoft has complied fully with that decision," European Commission spokesman Jonathan Todd told reporters yesterday. Microsoft has "weeks rather than months" to comply, he said.
Tuesday night's meeting was the highest-level talks between Microsoft and the commission since Ballmer failed to reach a settlement with former Competition Commissioner Mario Monti in March 2004. Less than a week later, Monti ordered the company to license some information to rivals, sell a version of its Windows operating system without a media player and pay a record fine of 497 million euros ($642 million).

"The company is working as hard and as fast as it can to comply with the commission decision," Tom Brookes, a spokesman for Microsoft, said.
The company is appealing the antitrust decision at the Court of First Instance in Luxembourg.
The orders of the European Commission require Microsoft to share its Windows server code with rivals so their products can better communicate on networks with machines running Windows.
"Over a year has elapsed and as of today we are not in a position to say that we are satisfied that Microsoft has complied fully with that decision," Todd said.
He said that in Tuesday's meeting Kroes made it abundantly clear to Ballmer that Microsoft had to fall in line quickly.
"Mrs. Kroes said that the commission expects the decision adopted in March 2004 to be complied with urgently and in full, and she added that unless this was the case that the commission would be obliged to take formal steps to ensure compliance," Todd said.
He said the EU's antitrust regulators were still not convinced that the Windows version the company was forced to produce without Media Player was technically up to standard. And questions remained over whether enough had been done to let competitors be interoperable with Microsoft's system.
Information from Bloomberg News and The Associated Press is included in this report.

SNOWFLAKE THOUGHTSDecember 30, 2014
Dress by Virgos Lounge
† † †
As I watch the snowflakes fall in peace,
I see them turning into Mother Nature's ice cold sparkling fleece.
Silently, cold and finely wrought,
Imagining each snowflake as a thought.
I watch them as they're floating to the ground,
Sinking deeper in the snow, softly touching, getting drowned.
Returning to their origin of life, melting down forever caught,
Becoming one with all the other thoughts.
A huge mass of should and should have been,
Tangled, worried, undefined, unseen.
Never really touchable they are,
Melting away as you reach out your hand a hint too far.
Unconsciously they cover the world, not knowing the power that they hold.
Their virtue, once meaningfully used, could be the solution, sheer, pure gold.
So keep your thoughts always sorted and clean,
Observe their words, embrace their scenes.

When I look at this series of shots in my head sounds hoarse voice of Nick Cave:
O Nancy's body is a coffin,
She wears my tombstone at her head
O Nancy's body is a coffin,
She wears my tombstone at her head
She wears her body like a coffin
She wears a dress of gold and red
She wears a dress of gold and red
She wears a dress of red and gold
Grave-looters at my coffin
Before my body's even cold

Tampax Pocket Pearl SheSpeaks Program
Going to the beach is fun but not when you have your period especially if you are in constant worry of your tampons or pad protection failing you.
Trust and believe me it's not fun plus can be quite embarrassing.
You're friends just texted you and told you that they were on their way over and that's when you notice Aunt Flo has arrived.
You start rummaging around you're purse for a tampon only to come up empty handed.
The girls show up and notice that worried look that you've got on.
Girl you've just got your period didn't you?
"Don't worry I've got you covered, it's new from Tampax."
*Tosses you the new Tampax Pocket Pearl.
Tampax Pocket Pearl fits easily and discreetly in any purse or bag that can go with you virtually anywhere whether it's a night out on the town, the movies , school , work or the beach!
Tampax Pocket Pearl offers backup protection with it's unique braid which helps stop leaks before they happen.
It has a no slip grip applicator that's easy to use.
I put the new Tampax Pocket Pearl to the test and I am loving not only their design and the fact that they fit discreetly in my purse but how easy they are to use, mess free plus it's super comfortable.
Look for Tampax Pocket Pearl today in the feminine hygiene aisle at a store nearest you!
Disclosure :
I received a free sample of Tampax Pocket Pearl courtesy of SheSpeaks for reviewing purposes only and the following thoughts are in fact my own.

Scenario rules:
Never offer more information than is required.
Practice your call script to get what you're going to say come out naturally.
Be prepared for any response from your target.
Scenario #1
The Cheating Husband and the Flower Delivery
(of course this is just a possible suggestion)
Set Call Display to "Local Flower Delivery"
C=Caller (you)
T: Hello?
C: Hi. This is Local Flowers Fast. We are calling to confirm delivery of a flower order to (supposed mistress's name).
T: Who?
C: We have delivered an order of roses to (supposed mistress's name) ordered by (the cheating husband's name) and just need to confirm that delivery has been made as requested. Can you confirm this for me?
T: I don't know who that is (or some other reply).
C: Ma'am you don't know who (supposed mistress's name) is?
T: No, no I don't think so.
C: Is this (the cheating husband's name) work phone number?
T: No, no it isn't.
Oh, I am sorry. Please excuse me, I was to confirm delivery at his work address. I am very sorry for disturbing you.
The rest can be ad-libbed, I think. Or just hang up, the evil seed of jealousy has been planted, mission accomplished
Scenario #2
The Bad Businessman and the Tax Audit
(of course this is just a possible suggestion)
Set Call Display to "Audit Department"
C=Caller (you)
T: Hello?
C: Hi, this is (someone at some tax audit office). We are calling about the last filing deadline that was missed.
T: What?
C: The last filing was missed so we are going to be conducting an audit. This call is to let you know that we will be coming on (some date) to begin our audit. Further we need to have your records available, at your location, for the past 5 business years.
T: I don't understand (or some other lame excuse).
C: I think I've been quite clear. Is there a problem with an audit? We have federal rules concerning this you know. If you don't comply there can be fines, seizures and jail time.
Ad-lib from here or complete the scenario with your own pre-crafted script.
Scenario #3
The Windfall
(of course this is just a possible suggestion)
Set Call Display to "Rogers, Franks and Scotsby LLC"
C=Caller (you)
T: Hello?
C: Hi. Is this (target's name)?
T: Yes, may I ask who's calling?
C: This is Ralph Meyer (or some name)I am a partner with Rogers, Franks and Scotsby Legal firm.
T: What is this about?
C: According to our records you are the grand nephew (niece) of (some related person's name) and the only benefactor of (the name again) Last Will and Testament.
T: I am? I don't know who that is.
C: If I have this right this is your mother's cousin's second uncle. At any rate, you have a substantial estate coming your way. We need you to be at (some place, nearby or distant) on (some date not too far into the future) for the final reading of the will and to receive the keys to (some big house/property) and title and deeds to (some cars, lands, boats, horses, whatever, you get the idea).
T: Really?
C: Yes. I'll give you the time and date again so you can write it down. Do you have a pen?
You can ad-lib or complete this script yourself. You see where it's going.
Scenario #4
The Bad Neighbor That May Be A Threat To Your Health
Using www.RevengeCall.com to phone him (hiding your ID and changing the caller display) you can call him as an investigator from where-ever and ask him troubling questions unrelated to your dealings.
Think of calling as this bad neighbor as:
– Someone looking for drugs
– Someone accusing him of stealing neighborhood pets
– A pushy person from his church/group inviting themselves over for coffee (and not showing up, of course)
– A relentless telemarketer, calling at odd times of the day and night
– Just plain weird wrong numbers
Scenario #5
The Ex-Boyfriend That Won't Go Away
The best way to handle an ex-boyfriend is to keep him busy with other girls. His attention will be turned away from you and you'll be free to live your life again.
Using www.RevengeCall.com do the following:
Call him up, with your voice changed, of course, and set the call display to private, and say to him:
"Hi, my name is XXX and I was told by a friend that you're an interesting guy… meet me at XXX later today (tomorrow), we can have coffee and talk a while. I will be wearing XXX and I am described as (hair, eyes, build)."
Keeping him busy chasing ghosts will get him off your story for a while. Distraction is as good as anything to let you live your life again.
Scenario #6
The Car Accident And The Person Won't Pay
The worse thing you can do in a car accident is to not call the police and get a police report written up. Your insurance company will want this and when you don't have it… well, you're on your own making the payments and the other guy, within a few days after the accident, has changed his tune about paying for the damage.
This is where www.RevengeCall.com comes in handy.
With the record feature you can call up the guy that caused the accident and get him to take blame for it and have a nice recorded copy to give to the police, the insurance company, and finally maybe the judge in the small claims court you end up in to get the damages to your car paid.
Scenario #7
Alternate Phone (Hacking Your Own) Voicemail
One of the great uses for RevengeCall.com spoofing service is that you can get access to your own voicemail from any phone easily. Just set the caller ID feature to display the same number as the voicemail you need access to and once you can enter the password you will have access to the voicemail account. From there you can listen to your messages, delete them and even change your voicemail message just as if you were calling from your own phone.
This should not be used to access an account other than you have permission to access.

The Authentic Bars, Cafes and Restaurants of Buenos Aires (Paperback)
Little Bookroom, 9781892145550, 160pp.
Publication Date: May 27, 2008
About the Author
Praise For The Authentic Bars, Cafes and Restaurants of Buenos Aires…
"I love Buenos Aires even when I am not reminded how much I love it. So how could I not wax poetic about The Authentic Bars, Cafes and Restaurants of Buenos Aires by Gabriela Kogan. Beautiful black and white photos complement insights on neighborhoods and advice on the best (what isn't good in BA?) things to eat and drink." --The San Francisco Examiner
"To get to know the heart and soul of Buenos Aires, author Gabriela Kogan insists you need to know its cafes, bars and restaurants. And yet, like most of the big cities around the world, Buenos Aires, too, is facing an uphill battle to maintain its distinctive establishments. Until the 1970s virtually every block had its own cafe. Because of gentrification, various economic crises and other reasons, family businesses are struggling to survive. But the establishments Kogan has chosen counter that trend and still function as meeting places and hangouts. Some specialize in home cooking; others are more specific: steakhouses, pizzerias and coffeehouses. Includes a glossary of food-related items." --The Chicago Tribune

Connect to Outer Space – The Seiko Astron10:17 am
The sky has always held the secret of time. Now we can capture time using the power of space and the energy from light, anywhere on the planet. Literally, all you need is light to connect to space.
The history of Seiko is a story of innovation. The brand has time and again, pushed back the boundaries of what a watch can deliver, especially with the Astron GPS Solar watch – the world's first GPS satellite assisted watch with atomic clock precision. Much like the first Astron released by Seiko on 25 December 1969, which was the world's first quartz watch, the new Seiko Astron GPS Solar shows Seiko's relentless drive for innovation and positions it as the world leader in electronic watchmaking. The progress of Astron never stops.
Technology and innovation is what sets the Seiko Astron GPS Solar apart from other luxury watches. GPS satellites that orbit in space control the time keeping accuracy and guide the watch to automatically adjust to the exact time zone based on it's location. All this by simply holding the watch under an open sky and pressing a button. By taking the energy it needs from the light alone it never needs a battery change.
The Seiko Astron receives GPS signals under an open sky and once the signals are received, the second hand starts moving, indicating the number of satellites, and then displays the current time after it synchronizes with the satellites atomic clock. It is an emotional moment, feeling an identification with GPS satellites 20,000km away.
The watch automatically receives GPS signals whenever it is exposed to natural light. To maintain accuracy of time even when the watch is concealed under a sleeve and the dial cannot receive enough sunlight, the watch stores the time of the previous successful manual time adjustment or time zone adjustment, and automatically starts time adjustment at the same time. A Seiko ring antenna placed under the dial ring provides automatic reception as it receives signals regardless of posture.
Here we feature the Seiko Astron GPS SAST009G with a beautiful and deep black dial with blue and white markers that resemble the view of the earth from outer space. The indexes being raised far above the dial are inspired by lights and signals from outer space. The light from the luminova on each hour marker shines like the earth when viewed from the stratosphere.
The scratch-proof sapphire protects the dial with but also allows maximum light to play with the dial. Unlike watches that synchronize time with atomic clock signals in certain areas only, the Seiko Astron can provide atomic clock precision and accuracy at any place on earth. Accuracy of time, date and location is maintained in all 39 time zones across the globe. Power from light ensures that the need to replace the battery will not arise. The low battery consumption Seiko Astron GPS Caliber 7X52 Quartz movement automatically corrects the time once a day whenever it gets satellite signals under an open sky. It takes six seconds to update the time and thirty seconds to update location. The watch also has a second time-zone dial at the 6'o'clock position in a 24 hour format, perpetual calendar, world time, day-light saving, signal strength indicator, and power reserve. The bold 47mm case is high quality polished steel with scratch-proof black ceramic bezel. A durable silicone strap with an adjustable clasp makes the watch very comfortable to wear.
If you are a frequent traveller to other time zones, a tech enthusiast or an avid watch collector, the Seiko Astron GPS Solar is a great addition to your journey with time.

Juncker mentality
When Jean-Claude Juncker, the President of the European Commssion, quipped to the recent State of the Union conference in Italy that English was "losing its importance in Europe", he hit a nerve.
It was doubtless the very nerve he intended to hit.
English is the only truly international language the world has right now, thanks largely to America's dominance of business and aviation.
Nobody's going to stop being able to speak English overnight. As Michael Skapinker wrote in reaction to Juncker in the Financial Times: "If there is to be any decline in English's status as the EU's lingua franca, it is more than a generation away."
But, as Skapinker also observed, just because you can speak a language, it doesn't mean you like it.
Our Brexit negotiators had better have good language skills, because I can't imagine their EU counterparts volunteering to conduct proceedings in English. Indeed, they would be neglecting their duty to the EU and its nations if they did. It's their job to make life hard for us.
The All Party Parliamentary Working Group on Modern Languages recognised this need when it called, last autumn, for a national plan to produce linguists in the light of Brexit.
Katrin Kohl, Professor of German Literature at the University of Oxford, says in this blog post that Brexit makes it harder to implement the most obvious solution to the "downward spiral" of language learning in the UK: recruiting language teachers from mainland Europe.
International businesses from Anglophone countries have bases in the UK because we speak English and are in Europe. Inevitably, they will move to the mainland because the more important of those two factors – the one that makes money – is being within the world's largest trading bloc.
So yes, over a generation, English will lose its importance in Europe. It's hard to imagine that MFL teaching in UK schools and universities won't uptick accordingly in that time. But that won't come soon enough to meet our immediate language needs as we try to make favourable deals with the EU and non-Anglophone nations around the world.
Juncker's prod was enjoyably mischievous, mocking Brexiteers' Basil Fawlty-esque attitude to Europe and weird, blind optimism that somehow everything will be okay if we just believe in ourselves. He was also, perhaps, poking fun at the American Empire's slapstick decline and fall, its descent into Trumpish clumsiness.
It's pointless being outraged by Juncker's comments. Europe is simply looking to a future without the UK in it. They want to get on with their lives after the divorce.
Far better to recognise that Juncker was doing us a favour, warning us that our over-reliance on English is a big problem in the short term, and that we ought to be planning now for the long term.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN) and his wife, Dame Emmanuella Abimbola Fashola hosted children at the 2012 End of Year Party with Governor Fashola enjoining the children to continue to study hard and be obedient students.
The governor who spoke at the open grounds of Lagos House, Ikeja before a large gathering of happy children thanked them for abiding by his advice to them last year to be up and doing in their studies.
He also commended teachers in the state for imparting knowledge to the students, adding that the results are becoming evident in results being turned out at the school certificate examinations
He added that from the 2011 results when only 19 percent of the students who sat for the exams passed with five credits including Mathematics and English, it has moved to 39.8 percent in 2012.
He stated that the improvement is only indicative of the fact that the administration is moving in the right direction just as the government is also improving the quality of schools, training of teachers as well as an improvement of hospitals and healthcare.
The governor also charged mothers at the ceremony to become the Ambassador of the State by helping to look after the children and ensuring that for those who have not been immunized against the child killer diseases, they are taken for immunization.
He also acknowledged the contributions of public servants who assist government in serving the citizenry, the policemen who look after the people and make everyone safe, the firemen who keep Lagos safe and all the street sweepers who keep Lagos clean.
Governor Fashola appealed to all those who do not pay their taxes to do so in order to allow the children have more opportunities for recreation, to learn in the schools and more drugs in the public hospitals.
Speaking earlier, the First Lady, Dame Emmanuella Abimbola Fashola charged the children to continue to be obedient children and pray for their parents and the nation at large so that the country can continue to be peaceful.
