Brunei: Where all that glitters is gold
MANILA, Philippines - Brunei is the land of gold — black and otherwise.
This nation on the northwest coast of Borneo may only measure 5,765 sq. km., but it's worth its weight in black gold.
At Brunei's Oil and Gas Discovery Centre, we learn that oil was struck near the Seria River in 1929 (after two British gentlemen sniffed it out three years earlier), and since then Brunei has produced over six billion barrels of crude oil — most of which is sent to Singapore for refining. At present they collect about 200,000 barrels a day and this year they're aiming much higher: 800,000 barrels every 24 hours. After all, demand from India, Russia and Korea is high.
With a gross domestic product of approximately US$16.95 billion, what does this small sultanate do with all its oil dollars?
Why, spend some of it on gold, of course.
A palace in the sun
Istana Nurul Iman, the palace of Brunei's current Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, is covered in gold. Our guide Sandra Tang informs us that if something golden is within reach, like a wrought-iron fence, then it's only plated in 19-karat gold; if it's out of reach, like the many domes that dot the city skyline, then you're talking 24-karat purity.
"There are 1,788 rooms in the palace. At one kilometer long it's the largest residential palace in the world." Tang rattles off more stats: "One story is 50 acres. The sultan has over 400 cars — 98 Rolls-Royces and everything else you can think of: Porsche, Ferrari, Bugatti, Maserati … even a Formula One car. The palace gets 130,000 visitors a year, but it's only open for Hari Raya and invited guests."
It's not Hari Raya and neither are we the sultan's invited guests, so we don't get a glimpse of the exalted garage nor the banquet hall that can seat 4,000 people. Instead we get the next best thing: a visit to the Royal Regalia building, a museum dedicated to the sultan and all the grand trappings of royalty.
All things luxe & royal
There we learn that the sultan's favorite sport is polo, and that he owns 300 Arabian and Argentinean horses. He's also a skilled pilot, flying both planes and helicopters. His marriage was arranged at age 19, and he was crowned at 21. At three kilos, the gilded, jewel-encrusted crown was so heavy during the crowning that his chin had to be supported by a solid-gold hand. Wearing the crown is a heavy responsibility literally and figuratively, but Tang says the hand signifies the people's support.
Regarding the royal artifacts, Tang says the philosophy was "When in doubt, decorate in gold." The sultan's father gave him a golden kris dagger when he was crowned, which symbolized the passing of power. He also received a golden spear and shield, and a solid-gold cat statue that was a present from the 14th-century king of Java. (At the time, royal objects were made out of solid gold because people didn't have the technology yet to make hollow objects.)
The kris, which has been passed down from the 16th sultan to the incumbent 29th, is especially precious: "It is said that whoever owns the dagger has the right to rule Brunei," Tang says. "That's why it's under a lot of security!"
On the ground floor you can also view the golden carriage that carried the newly crowned sultan through the streets, while the upstairs galleries are filled with room after room of gifts from around the world — from other Muslim royals and even a jeepney artwork from the Philippines.
Also on display is the jacket the sultan wore during his 26th jubilee. Tang tells us that each gold button on the front of the jacket — there are five — is 10 karats of gold. Heavy metal, indeed.
Even the mosques are money
While the Royal Regalia pays tribute to all things luxurious and opulent, on the other end of the spectrum are Brunei's places of worship, the Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah and Omar Ali Saifuddien mosques.
The former is the biggest in Brunei, with 29 gold-plated domes and 29 steps to honor the 29th sultan, according to Joanne Tang, our main guide and Sandra's younger sister. We take off our shoes, don the requisite black robes and enter the bigger dome for male worship. A three-ton crystal chandelier imported from Austria hangs over the 3,500-capacity prayer hall. "If the sultan is in the country, he goes to this mosque to pray on a Friday," notes Joanne.
The female prayer hall is smaller, darker, and can fit 1,500 — half the capacity of the male hall — the reason being that women usually pray at home.
All the granite, marble and gold used in building the mosques are imported. "The only gold Brunei has is black gold," intones Joanne.
Even the water village has gold
Proof of just how much Bruneians love their sultan comes when we visit the Water Village on a different day: a few families here hold a permanent open house for tourists, and we sit for an afternoon snack of tea, custard cookies and rice cakes in a village family's sala. Our silent but smiling host presents a yearbook of sorts: we are urged to leaf through its colored pages, with 60 or so pages devoted to studio portraits of the sultan and everyone in his family line; the yearbook was presented to this homeowner during a special event — the sultan's birthday, during which tens of thousands line up for an audience with the ruler of Brunei. It's clear that this homeowner treasures this yearbook as much as he would a family photo album.
Sandra also tells us that when the sultan came to the Water Village for a visit, one of the homeowners — a relatively well-off travel agent — installed a gold toilet specifically for the royal to use, but alas, we weren't shown the fabled bathroom so this story has acquired the status of urban legend in our minds.
A hotel built by & for royalty
We come face-to-face — or rather, back-to-bed — with Brunei's more luxe side at The Empire Hotel and Country Club, which is about 20 minutes away from the city. We are told the sultan's brother started building a royal getaway on this vast, 180-hectare property but never finished the project, so the government took over and continues to operate the hotel. With 500 rooms, 16 villas, and nine swimming pools, you need a golf cart to get around without expiring from the effort.
Upon the invitation of the sultan, Michael Jackson supposedly performed in the hotel lobby 10 years ago, but further checking reveals that he actually performed in the nearby Jerudong amphitheater along with Janet Jackson and Phil Collins. The free concert was a New Year's gift from the sultan to the Bruneians.
We are lucky enough to sleep in the Deluxe Room (B$500/night) — two steps up from their standard room, which is called a Superior (B$400/night). The beds aren't typical hotel sizes but were designed and manufactured according to the original owners' specifications, so the linen had to be made to order as well — no joke as we're talking high-thread-count Egyptian cotton and pillows stuffed with down feathers from Italy. Each bed has special timber supports for the back, so we had such a good night's sleep it was hard to rouse in the morning.
Empire's PR and marketing communications manager Hafiza Mohamad toured us around the property and, though we already felt privileged with our deluxe accommodations, we're definitely small fry compared to the royalty and heads of state who've stayed at the hotel.
Mohamad showed us the Emperor Suite, where former US President Bill Clinton stayed during APEC 2000. Voted "best presidential suite" by Asian Golf magazine, the 675-square-meter room contains its own 63.25 sq.m. swimming pool and Jacuzzi, over which a movie screen descends so that guests can view the latest DVD releases. Cost per night? Over B$16,000.
When Prince Charles and Camilla visited Brunei they stayed in an Empress Suite, which is similarly outfitted with 21-karat gold-plated bathroom fixtures, an Italian baby grand piano, Baccarat crystal and 19-karat gold thread woven into the carpets (enough to cover 14 basketball courts!). The only thing the Empress Suite lacks is the pool. It's also a little less expensive at $9,000 a night.
Rumor has it that US President Barack Obama will be coming in October for the ASEAN summit. I wonder which suite he'll choose?
For regular hotel guests like us, there's still a lot to ogle and experience in the hotel. For example, you can have a photo taken beside the largest ruby in the world, which is displayed as casually as a flower arrangement in a corner of the hotel lobby. Or how about a limited-edition crystal-and-gold camel from Baccarat, of which the Empire has two out of only four in the world — one located in the lobby and the other in the Emperor's Suite?
Other wonders on view include 370 pieces of tiger's eye inlaid into the gold-plated stair rails of the main atrium, while other semi-precious stones like lapis lazuli and malachite are found in various areas and among the furnishings in the top suites. And such vast quantities of Italian marble were used to build the hotel that a special region in Italy had to be reserved to supply it. Today it's so rare you can't get it anymore. Limited-edition Murano vases, titanium dinner and cutlery sets, an 18-hole golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus? All yours for the experiencing at the Empire Hotel and Country Club.
If you can't stay at the Empire, the hotel offers a great afternoon tea by the Dorchester Hotel that is popular with day-trippers, while Mohamed says their Chinese restaurant is very popular for Sunday brunch, complete with Asprey bone china and silverware.
Brunei is a land of many riches — material and otherwise. Its people live without taxes, with free education, housing and medical care. And they love their sultan, whose majesty is best expressed, not only in displays of wealth, luxury and opulence, but in his legendary kindness and care for his people.
But you can forgive us tourists for simply gawping at all the gold.

Definition of the Readily Releasable Pool of Vesicles at Hippocampal Synapses Neuron, Volume 16, Issue 6, 1 June 1996, Pages 1197-1207 Christian Rosenmund and Charles F Stevens Summary A readily releasable pool of quanta, tentatively identified with docked synaptic vesicles, has been defined by analysis of the neurotransmitter release caused by application of hypertonic solutions. The goal of this work is to determine the relationship of this functionally defined readily releasable pool to the one drawn upon by action potential-evoked release. We find that hypertonic solutions do not act through changes in intracellular calcium. Since the release produced by action potentials and hypertonic solutions varies in parallel as the pool size is changed, we conclude that the same pool is shared by both mechanisms. This conclusion, taken together with other observations in the literature, means that the synaptic release probability depends on the size of the readily releasable pool.

Rapid Reuse of Readily Releasable Pool Vesicles at Hippocampal Synapses Neuron, Volume 28, Issue 1, 1 October 2000, Pages 221-231 Jason L. Pyle, Ege T. Kavalali, Erika S. Piedras-Rentería and Richard W. Tsien Summary Functional presynaptic vesicles have been subdivided into readily releasable (RRP) and reserve (RP) pools. We studied recycling properties of RRP vesicles through differential retention of FM1-43 and FM2-10 and by varying the time window for FM dye uptake. Both approaches indicated that vesicles residing in the RRP underwent rapid endocytosis (τ ≅ 1 s), whereas newly recruited RP vesicles were recycled slowly (τ ≅ 30 s). With repeated challenges (hypertonic or electrical stimuli), the ability to release neurotransmitter recovered 10-fold more rapidly than restoration of FM2-10 destaining. Finding neurotransmission in the absence of destaining implied that rapidly endocytosed RRP vesicles were capable of reuse, a process distinct from repopulation from the RP. Reuse would greatly expand the functional capabilities of a limited number of vesicles in CNS terminals, particularly during intermittent bursts of activity. Summary | Full Text | PDF (593 kb) |
Identification of a Novel Process Limiting the Rate of Synaptic Vesicle Cycling at Hippocampal Synapses Neuron, Volume 24, Issue 4, 1 December 1999, Pages 1017-1028 Charles F. Stevens and John F. Wesseling Summary During intense presynaptic activity, the readily releasable pool (RRP) of synaptic vesicles empties more quickly than it can be refilled, and short-term depression results. Ordinarily, the pool refills within 20 s, but long, high-frequency trains of action potentials often induce a form of short-term depression that persists for a much longer time. Here, we report that replenishment of the RRP is governed by two simple processes: the previously identified mechanism termed refilling, and another process that appears after extensive exocytosis and produces a transient decrease in the capacity of the pool, lasting for several minutes. The data presented here place stringent constraints on the types of kinetic models that can be used to describe synaptic vesicular cycling and are inconsistent with the traditional multipool models of vesicular mobilization.

Membrane proteins and lipids often appear to be distributed in patches on the cell surface. These patches are often assumed to be membrane domains, arising from specific molecular associations. However, a computer simulation (Gheber and Edidin, 1999) shows that membrane patchiness may result from a combination of vesicle trafficking and dynamic barriers to lateral mobility. The simulation predicts that the steady-state patches of proteins and lipids seen on the cell surface will decay if vesicle trafficking is inhibited. To test this prediction, we compared the apparent sizes and intensities of patches of class I HLA molecules, integral membrane proteins, before and after inhibiting endocytic vesicle traffic from the cell surface, either by incubation in hypertonic medium or by expression of a dominant-negative mutant dynamin. As predicted by the simulation, the apparent sizes of HLA patches increased, whereas their intensities decreased after endocytosis and vesicle trafficking were inhibited.

Not everyone is discounting the value of great newspapers. Take Scott Galloway for instance. He's leading the fight for a board position at the New York Times after Firebrand/Harbinger LLC, a company created for this offensive, disclosed a 4.9% stake in the capital of the NY Times Company. His pitch : creating more value for shareholders (the usual crap) by a "redeployment of capital to expedite the acquisition of digital assets." according to the letter sent to Arthur Sulzberger chairman and publisher of the Times and Janet Robinson k the CEO. The fall of the New York Times stock (from $47 to $18 since 2004), shows a true erosion of the "value for shareholders" and it makes the media group tempting for investors such as Firebrand/Harbinger 'even though the family-controlled board shields the management from outside interference'.
> Read the letter from Gallaway, filed to the Securities and Exchange Commission. A monument of takeover-era rhetoric.
> And the profile of Scott Galloway in Portfolio magazine
> Forbes magazine is detailing the achievements of hedge funds manager Philip Falcone. Not exactly the kind of guy you want at your board for the kind of complicated turnaround the Times is facing.

Will Selena Gomez Be With Justin Bieber On New Year's Eve? VOTE!
trong> is performing as part of Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve this year, and we're curious if Selena Gomez will support him. Justin will be performing on the West Coast, rather than in New York City, so chances are the venue he performs at will be relatively close to Selena so she won't have to travel too far.
They are back on as a couple, but Selena and Justin both made sure to spend Christmas with their families, rather than with each other, this year. So, we wonder if Selena will do the same thing on New Year's Eve.
Do YOU think Selena will be with Justin on on New Year's Eve? Or, will she be with her family? Share your opinion below, guys!

For Sale: Shuttered Crestwood Mall
Crestwood residents march over stalled mall
Some Crestwood residents say city leaders are dragging their feet on a plan to redevelop the shuttered Crestwood Plaza. Dozens of people marched from the old mall to City Hall Tuesday to express their concern.
Developer Centrum Properties wants to turn the site into an entertainment center with a movie theater, bowling alley, restaurants and retail stores. But their plan calls for $22 million in taxpayer subsidies -- a figure Crestwood Mayor Jeff Schlink says he and many aldermen are not "comfortable" with.
"If we're going to grant and issue those tax breaks for them," Schlink said, "they're going to have to be done on terms that we feel are reasonable for the city."
Centrum officials say if they can't work things out, they may have to sell the land one parcel at a time.

After graduation from Tennessee Tech, Curtis went to work as a Chemist for the Tennessee Valley Authority in the water control laboratory. In 1956, Curtis became the third chemist hired in the chemistry lab at Arnold Air Force Base. Curtis retired 52 years later from his chemistry career and boyhood dream.
Curtis was a devoted Christian, husband, father, brother, uncle, friend, and patriot. He was always willing to help someone in need. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. He was a member of the Prairie Plains Baptist Church, where he served as a deacon since 1965. He was a member of the Hillsboro Masonic Lodge #382 and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Curtis enjoyed raising cattle on his farm, as well as hunting and fishing.
In addition to his parents, Mr. Baker was also preceded in death by his first wife and mother of his son, Mary Crystal Brandon Baker, and a sister, Callie Elizabeth Baker.
Survivors include his wife, Johnnie Mae Bonner Baker of Hillsboro; son, Steven Curtis (Betsy) Baker of Covington, GA; grandsons, Matt and Luke Baker, of Covington, GA; stepdaughters, Glenda Sue (Gordon) Smead of Nashville and Renee (Clyde Stephen) Matthews of Hillsboro; stepson, Gerald Bonner and fiancé, Loretta Boyd of Arlington, TN; step-granddaughters, Suzanne Smead of Nashville and Stephanie Matthews of Hillsboro; one sister, Wanda Baker Bush of Hillsboro; niece, Cynthia Bush Pellam of Hillsboro; and nephew, Freddie Bush of Hillsboro.

Found February 17, 2013 on
Fox - The Hockey Guy:
So what's wrong with the Florida Panthers? Plenty, as it turns out.
Rookie center Jonathan Huberdeau has lived up to all his hype, but it's tough to find anybody else meeting their preseason expectations.After starting the season 1-5, the Panthers improved, slightly, to 3-1-4 during their next eight games. They lost three straight overtime games, all at home. Those single points won't help them catch up during this shortened 48-game season."We're not finishing," Panthers coach Kevin Dineen told reporters. "It's finishing the game, giving a complete game, whether it's 60 or 65 minutes. We're not complete right now . . . You're not going to get in the playoffs with 48 points. You can't try to get a point a game, it's just not going to work."Here are some of the issues:
Florida's minus-18 goal differential is worst in the league. At last check the team ranked the Panthers ranked 26th in goals scored and 29th at even-strength scoring.

My Data Manager is a free and very usefull app. and it counts your data usage for each app. I began to use it today and its the what i looked for
I've owned my iPad for a week now and found these apps not mentioned yet very useful:
FileExplorer Free
Skitch (graphical notepad)
UEFA Euro 2012
Feeddler RSS Feeder
Dolphin (browser)
Azkend (puzzle game)
That puzzle game is good.Originally Posted by theTimo
I checked out Whitenote. Yes, it was great thing for iPad to use. Love it.
IPad Author - working with text and graphics couldn't get any easier.
I just downloaded Meeting Minutes by youxel it is a great app & a must have for every person who attend meetings. With you can schedule meetings and share all the notes with each attendee afterwards. The minutes can be taken by text, drawing and even using audio recordings, and a few taps of the screen will let you share the whole meeting. Even action points are covered beautifully and can be assigned to each attendee.
That sounds like an app I'll need to try out in the very near future. Thanks for the great suggestion.Originally Posted by Lobna

Cantley, Quebec, Canada, is a rural municipality north of the city of Gatineau, east of the Gatineau River, located within Canada's National Capital Region approximately 15–20 minutes from Parliament Hill. The population in the Canada 2011 Census was 9,888, with a high rate of population growth. French is the first language of 87% of Cantley's residents.[4]
Its roots are in farmland but recent housing projects are slowly changing the landscape into a suburb of Gatineau. Gatineau's Limbour neighbourhood has reached the town's southern limits with the Les Escarpements de Limbour housing development.
Cantley's main artery is Route 307 also known as Montée de la Source (formally known as la rue Principale) which is the extension of Rue Saint-Louis in Gatineau. Major collector roads include Chemin du Mont-Cascades, Chemin Ste-Élisabeth, Montée des Érables and Montée St-Amour. Most of the roads in the town connect to Route 307 and most of them are dead-ends. There are very few that connect to secondary roads.
The Société de transport de l'Outaouais (STO) bus routes 5 and 6 provides weekday rush hour service between Cantley and Ottawa via the Hull sector of Gatineau.
Chemin du Mont-Cascades gives access to the Mont Cascades Ski Resort, Waterpark and the Mont Cascades Golf Club. The waterpark is the largest in the Outaouais region while the Ski Resort offers 25 ski trails. Cantley is also home to Nakkertok, the largest cross country ski club in the National Capital Region. Residents have access to a second ski resort, Edelweiss Valley, which is located alongside Route 366 in Wakefield (La Pêche), just beyond Cantley's northern town limits.
The town of Cantley was founded in the 1830s by Colonel Cantley, a subordinate of Colonel John By during the period that included the birth of the city of Bytown (now Ottawa). During this time, Colonel Cantley went north and set foot in land several kilometres from Bytown where he remained until his death. In the 1850s, the area started to develop with the construction of its post office in honour of Cantley and a mass arrival of Irish descendents. Education started to play a role in the same period when a Roman Catholic chapel and school were built as a result of the increasing number of residents in the area. Another school was built on a farmer's land in 1858.
In 1925, a new hydroelectric dam was constructed along the Gatineau River, making it the biggest economic and industrial project of the town's history. This is now known today as the Rapides-Farmers Hydroelectric Station (Centrale Rapides-Farmers). However, the station is now within the city of Gatineau limits.
The Mont Cascades resort opened during the 1960s and 1970s and represents a major part of the town's recreational and touristic assets.
Previously, Cantley was a rural village part of Touraine, then Hull-Est until the merger that created the original city of Gatineau in 1975. As this move proved highly unpopular with Cantley's rural residents, they worked to petition the provincial government to recreate an independent municipality. In 1989, Cantley became an independent rural community.
On the outskirts of Cantley, is the Gatineau[5] Landsat Satellite Tracking station for Natural Resources Canada and is also an extension of CFS Leitrim, of Project Echelon.
Cantley Dry Materials Dump issue[edit]
From 2005 to 2007 controversy arose concerning a dry materials dump located in the northern end of the town. Nearby residents complained about toxic pollutants generated by the dump that caused effects on their health. Many residents and mayor Steve Harris firmly requested the closure of the dump. In late 2005, a fire broke out underneath the material for several weeks and caused an evacuation from the nearby residents The fire was initially thought to be caused by combustible fuel, but according to the owners of the dump, a criminal hand may have been involved.
Several lawsuits were planned by residents against the owner and on July 11, 2006, the town went to court against the dump for a compensation of over $55,000 for the fire and cover costs for the evacuation process and firefighters salary[6] Tensions rose once more when the owner, Gilles Proulx, launched a $750,000 lawsuit against a local couple. Proulx claimed that the couple had made comments against his reputation.[7]
The Quebec Ministry of Environment forced the owners to adopt measures to reduce the amount of toxic pollutants and gave them several delays to comply.[8] About a year later, it received a second warning and was giving another 10-day notice to meet the Ministry's standards or it would be forced to shut down its operations.[9]
On September 21, 2006, the Minister Claude Béchard ordered its closure but as the owners challenged the decision to court, it was re-opened occasionally. The site is currently not in operation as the case is still under study by a provincial court, but the Tribunal administratif du Québec supported in October 2007 the Minister's decision.[10][11] An appeal to that decision did not lead to changes,[12] and the landfill operator further appealed to the Quebec Superior Court, to no avail.[13]
Due to its closure, it created a significant waste problem across the region as only one landfill site remains in operation in Val-des-Monts. Many businesses are forced to travel longer for waste disposals while costs skyrocketed. In some occasions, various materials were dumped in many fields and lands.[14][15]

I recently upgraded to 23.1.5 from 23.0.6, and a few of my customizations broke - not many, but I also made a number of changes to my configuration, so I figured I'd cover them all here. Overall, it was a pretty easy process - the only customization that broke that I still haven't figured out is Slime breaking. It works if I run everything up to and including the call to slime, but not if I then continue running my other customizations.
These first customizations modify general Emacs behavior. debug-on-error will give a backtrace when an error is encountered in any running elisp code; this makes it much easier to debug problems. If display-battery-mode is on, your battery level and heat is shown in the mode line. apropos-do-all will make apropos do everything; it is much more useful this way. Setting pop-up-windows to nil will stop emacs from changing your window configuration, and confirm-nonexistent-file-or-buffer will stop emacs from prompting you whenever you create a new file.
(setq debug-on-error t) (display-battery-mode t) (setq apropos-do-all t) (setq pop-up-windows nil) (setq temporary-file-directory "~/.emacs.d/tmp/") (setq confirm-nonexistent-file-or-buffer nil)
I also noticed that hitting the spacebar now inserted a space character in my minibuffer. This is essentially never what I want, so I changed it to completion with:
(define-key minibuffer-local-map (kbd "SPC") 'minibuffer-complete)
The next set of customizations I added modified the behaviour of shell modes. The first one will cause cycling to skip unique values; if you run the same command twice, M-p twice will take you to a different commands. The other two are fairly self-explanatory, and are for showing as much as possible in the buffer.
(setq comint-input-ignoredups t) (setq comint-scroll-show-maxiumum-output) (setq comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-input t)
Finally, I added a few functions to help out. M-x google will now prompt me for a search string and then open a browser with a query for that string. Line-matches is used programatically in order to tell if the line point is on matches the given regular expression.
(defun google (query) "googles a query" (interactive "sQuery:") (browse-url (concat "http://www.google.com/search?q=" query))) (defun line-matches (regexp) "Returns non-nil if the current line matches the given regexp, nil otherwise." (save-excursion (end-of-line) (let ((end (point))) (beginning-of-line) (re-search-forward regexp end t))))

Chad Johnson walked out of jail at around 10:00 AM this morning after posting $2,500 bond following his arrest last night for allegedly assaulting his wife, Evelyn Lozada.
Johnson walked out with his lawyer, Adam Swickle, and was greeted by his brother. Chad faced a barrage of questions from the reporters waiting outside ... but remained silent as he made his way to a waiting SUV.
As TMZ first reported, the alleged incident between Johnson and his "Basketball Wives" star wife Lozada was so bad ... Lozada ran to a neighbor's house for safety.
BLACK DUDES really need to just stop getting married. Seriously. Just stop it.
GOD WORKS in mysterious ways. It could be a way to control the population. But black dudes really need to just stop getting married. Especially the darkskinned ones.
SWARTHY LOVERS like Chad Johnson could never, ever belong to one woman. Damn. Chicks need to get this through their heads. Seriously. I don't care how fine a witch is, she is not going to ever be able to have no swarthy lover to herself. Case closed.
BLUES WOMAN by the name of Ida Cox sang and recorded a song back in 1927, entitled "Fore Day Creep." In the lyrics she sings, "Any woman's a fool to think she's got a whole man to herself." The song is pure gospel. Nothing but the truth.
CHAD JOHNSON is really my guy. I love Chad Johnson. I never was a big sports fan until I saw him and learned of him. He's charming. He's gifted. But, like most swarthy men, too charming and gifted for their own good, in terms of trying to commit to a woman. Black dudes need to stop trying to marry these women, Lord knows. Just stop it.
I guarantee Evelyn flipped out over the condoms and struck Ocho first. It's real hard to think otherwise considering her history on VH1. I am tired of women thinking its okay to hit men. And as soon as the man reacts after being hit, not necessarily to hurt you, but to knock your a$$ back into reality the woman calls the police and labels the man a woman beater. She should have been arrested too. F*** Evelyn.

"In the 1980s and early '90s, many exercise classes became very elitist," says Ken Alan, a kinesiologist and a spokesperson for the American Council on Exercise in San Diego. "Aerobics was great for those who had well-developed movement-to-music skills, but it alienated people who couldn't keep up with the complex choreography. They were looking for a more back-to-basics workout."
"I used to take aerobics classes, but they were a drag," says Nancy Peterson Walter, Ph.D., 65, of Mammoth Lakes, California. "All the women in the class seemed so bouncy, but I just couldn't keep up." Now she takes several classes that incorporate child's play: Splash, a pool workout involving games of catch and tag, and Y.A.H.OO, in which participants might play follow-the-leader or a Twister-like game to increase flexibility. "I try to create playful challenges," says Suzanne Nottingham, the instructor who designed these classes. "When children play, they are essentially cross-training: moving their bodies through many ranges of motion at different intensities. It's fun to get adults into that kind of situation." Although classes like these are lighthearted, they aren't necessarily lightweight. A bit of exercise science theory explains why play can provide fitness benefits: "If you've been training for a while—maybe jumping on the treadmill a couple of times a week—your body becomes very efficient at that activity," says Keli Roberts, a personal trainer and group exercise instructor in Los Angeles. "But by throwing games and other fun activities into the mix, you demand something different and spontaneous from your body. And when you're doing something new, you are more likely to see gains in strength, stamina, and even weight loss." Without a class, you can create do-it-yourself exercise fun if you're willing to let go of your inhibitions and look a little crazy. Jill Carson, 35, a personal chef based in Fort Worth, Texas, switches between skating, running, and biking workouts, always trying to infuse a little "silliness" into the mix. "I may go for a brisk walk and add some skipping in the middle of it," she says. "Sometimes I run through a sprinkler or challenge a kid to a bike race." Carson added the fun element several years ago after realizing her workouts had grown stale and boring. "I was Miss Target Heart Rate. I was tired and not enjoying it—and was also walking the fine line between being highly fit and being injured. Now I don't even think of running or skating or biking as adult exercise," she says. "I have such a good time that I usually forget I'm working out." More Workouts: From the January 2001 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

5. Happy Gilmore Successfully Cut Someone With His Skate
The year was 1996 and Guy Boucher was a year away from becoming an assistant coach with the McGill Redmen. Guy was always a resilient fellow and thought he could have one last at making it in the big leagues. He had to live out his dream of becoming a superstar in the NHL. Guy suited up one last time and tried out for his local club, but ran into a guy by the name of Happy Gilmore. Happy wasn't very happy at all. Once Happy found out that he didn't make the cut, the next thing cut was Guy's face.
That's what you get for killing someone's father, dickhead.
It was only a matter of time before the FBI called Guy to use his badassery in Colombia. Those guys traffic drugs like Tim Thomas eats cheeseburgers the day before a game. For those who don't catch my drift, that's a lot. A lot of baby powder bro. I'm getting off track here. In 1987, Colombia was producing a shitload of cocaine and smuggling it into the United States, which was then cooked and made into crack*.
*I'm completely bullshitting, I have no idea the cocaine to crack method.
Because of the implications it could cause the United States, the US used Guy's ninja-like stealth to get into Colombia and bust the drug lords. Unfortunately while in a struggle with the great Czar or whatever they're called down there, his parrot flew down and cut Guy's face. There are rumors that the movie "Scarface" is based off of these tales, but instead of Colombia, it's based in Cuba. And instead of being white, he's Cuban. And instead of being in the FBI, he's poor. You get my drift.
Who wouldn't want to be the stand-in for Leo from Grease? Dude was the leader of the Scorpions, drove a sick fucking ride and almost got it in with Rizzo.
Look, living in the 80's was not an easy time. Women wore jackets that had shoulder pads than JS Giguere when he won the Stanley Cup, Rocky was fighting in victory and falling to such lows the Detroit Tigers felt bad for him. Lionel Ritchie was making straight men cry tears of unfathomable sadness and Wham! was asking to be woken up before you go, go.
A man can get lost in the 80's and I believe Guy was one of those lost souls. I'm not advocating to tie yourself to a complete stranger and have a knife fight that works strangely well to the guitar rift of "Beat It", but when an asshole in an all white suite and black Aviator sunglasses talks mad shit about your girlfriend's overuse of Aqua Net hair spray, you have no choice.
So yeah, I'm pretty sure it was #1. Add a comment

Puerto Madero, is a district of the Argentine capital, occupying a significant portion of the Rio de la Plata riverbank and representing the latest architectural trends in the city. We discovered it almost by accident and found it a pleasant place for strolling by the water. The area was originally a major dockland but it had become derelict over time.In the 1990s, local and foreign investment led to a massive regeneration effort, recycling and refurbishing the old west side red brick warehouses into elegant houses, offices, lofts, private universities, luxurious hotels and restaurants. This is the area nearest downtown and the most accessible for visitors. The Buenos Aires Hilton, other hotels, state-of-the-art multiplex cinemas, theatres, cultural centres, and office and corporate buildings are located in the east side of the development. The neighbourhood's road network has been entirely rebuilt on the east side. Today it is one of the trendiest boroughs in Buenos Aires, and has become the preferred address for a growing number of young professionals and retirees. Increasing property prices have also generated interest in the area as a destination for foreign buyers, particularly those in the market for premium investment properties. The new 2 km Puerto Madero Tramway line serves the area, running parallel to Alicia Moreau de Justo Avenue (along the ward's western side) but this did not seem well used by either locals or tourists. We took a ride and were the only ones onboard. The neighbourhood is still not well-connected to the city's transit network. Few bus routes run through Puerto Madero, no subway line reaches it and there are currently no official plans to extend the subway network to the neighbourhood.There are several minor tourist attractions here including the Uruguay Corvette, a ship built in England around 1877 and which served as part of the Argentine Navy for a number of years. Today the ship is a museum open to the public. The Sarmiento Frigate is also here (see another entry in this journal). The Puente de la Mujer (Woman's Bridge) is a pedestrian bridge that connects each side of Puerto Madero. Visitors come to the Buequebus Terminal at the north end of the area, which is the terminal of the ferry company Buequebus and is used by travellers to go to Colonia and Montevideo in Uruguay.While nothing exceptional, Puerto Madero is a nice place to walk along the water and there are ample benches all around if you want to just sit and relax and enjoy the nice day. There are many restaurants in Puerto Madero which cater to tourists - menus printed in English, outdoor seating, and higher prices. The outdoor seating is nice and the atmosphere is enjoyable but we thought the food was little different to other cheaper areas.

Dell Latitude D420 user reviews
User reviews4
ashleydoody 23 November 2013
Good: Build quality
Bad: ....nothing
Comment: Liam (below) doubts it'll run Win 7....well, I'm busy running Win 8.1 on one of these.
Buy one off ebay for £40, add a 1.8inch SSD ZIF drive (Runcore), Windows 8.1 and it flies. No need to spend £500+ on something new, this is all you need.
Liam Ousley 25 September 2012
Good: light, easy to transport, perfect for surfing the web, runs super on xp.
Bad: well its a notebook, and I doubt it could run win7.
Comment: The Dell Latitude d420 is fast, reliable, stylish and super portable.
even now 6 or so years after its release it is still the notebook for the job. I can't find a real fault. and for the prices you can get these for these days its a real bargain.
it doesn't come with a disk drive (like most notebook/netbooks) but it has the option of external ones, it has 2 usb 2.0 ports (3 if you count the one that can be used for external disk drive) and also has an sd card port at the side which can come in handy.
all in all, I think its perfectly designed. I'll probably be using this for the next 5 or 6 years.
Akhi Mohammed Raju 23 March 2012
Comment: I had it since 2007 still work as normal, i just rebooted it few times. 5* laptop
Nizam Hamid 24 September 2006
Good: Size is excellent, screen is sharp and clear, very useable keyboard and Core Duo is a must have
Bad: Would prefer integrated optical drive
Comment: Excellent product at a reasonable price, Core Duo really adds to productivity, superb at connectivity - 3G connection works well, easy to change and setup with non-Vodafone networks (I used an existing O2 contract). Screen resolution is a real bonus and is sharp and clear - a useful download is Msoft Virtual Desktop Manager - lets you switch very easily between screens and allows full use of even a 12". Design is subtle, feels tough and sturdy - finish is also neat and professional - also very slim
