Do You Have "the Talk" in Your Relationships?
Do You Have "the Talk" in Your Relationships?
by DearSugar 32 Reactions 0 Shares Print
The Hills started out last night with Stephanie telling Lauren that she and her boyfriend, Cameron, had "the talk" to make their relationship officially official. While putting labels on relationships is important to some, others aren't comfortable putting their feelings on the line — a must when having that type of discussion. Sure, there's a level of ease that comes with knowing where you stand in your relationship, but having "the talk" seems a little outdated to me. What do you think? Do you typically have "the talk" in your relationships, or do you tend to let things progress naturally?

i think that when i was younger i felt like i needed to have 'the talk' but now that i'm older, it's not the same situation and it's easier just to let things naturally progress. chances are when you don't stress about labels, you find yourself in the perfect relationship already.

natually...unless u truely want 2 know but then if u have 2 ask...it may not be worth it.

We didn't have a talk to make it "official." People just started calling me his girlfriend & then he did too. Then eventually I started calling him my boyfriend. We've talked about our relationship every now & then over the years--I think that's healthy, but there was never a how do we define this discussion. we just use our first date as our anniversary. I've never really felt the need to have a RDT. All the guys I've dated have been pretty open & honest about how they feel & what they want. I've never had that 'but where is this going' feeling...unless I felt it wasn't going anywhere & wanted to get out.

I definitely need that to see where I stand. And you are so right, chow, I have an anniversary thanks to that, and it's in a few days! (On the 3rd.)
chow 5 years
i think it depends on the relationship but one positive thing about having 'the talk' is that you actually have an anniversary to celebrate. it's nice to know where the other person stands.

We had a talk, it happened about a month after our first date and I just asked him how do you feel about the way things are going, are you happy? I think having some sort of conversation can save a lot of heartache if in fact one person either doesn't feel the same way about dating/relationships as the other (some of my friends have fallen into the trap of thinking they are exclusive when in fact their supposed bf is sleeping around - a reason I myself had the chat long before sleeping with my bf).

lickety split... i agree its not childish at all... its coming to an understanding as to whether or not you're exclusively seeing each other... I'd rather know if a guy was serious about me than assume he was and find out later that he was dating other girls at the same time because we never discussed whether we're exclusive with each other or not... NOT talking about it at some point in some form or another seems juvenile in my opinion

Every boyfriend I've had has asked me outright "Can I call you my girlfriend?" but that's about it.

i do think some sort of talk is necessary. i agree with the comment "how would you know if you're on the same page". i dont think it has to be all serious and ultimatum-ish, but just some sort of understanding. my [now] husband thankfully initiated "the talk"...just kinda like, so what are we really doing, where r we going. i know what i want. do u? aww memories :)

"childish and ingenuous thing to 'decide'", lol. well, hope you enjoy being single! it's not possible to have a serious relationship w/o talking aboutit, and why would you be afraid to discuss what you want for the future? if you love him respect that he has his own plans and the 2 of you might need to make compromises to remain a couple. if all you want out of a man is a sex partner i'm sure he's happy to go that route. but if you expect or desire more please speak up. otherwise the label your stuck with is "booty call".
HeidiMD 5 years
We never had the talk. I didn't care and didn't need the label to know what I had was good, and he started referring to me as his girlfriend quickly enough.
bluesteyes 5 years
ALL women have the talk! I mean even samantha in sex and the city had one :) It's important to talk. We have to talk about stuff to make things work and yes make it official. Talking is great as long as your partner is fully participated. Talking at someone is boring and kills romance

Also, I have to say...I have always thought my fiance feels the same way about me as I him, but when he proposed, it was a declaration that he DID feel that way, and that he would continue to. It meant so much, that gesture/act. Def not something we discussed though! We are old fashioned! lol
cravinsugar 5 years
Mesayme, I don't think people are trying to be needy/fake. I think it comes from one person's desire to know if the other feels the same. I think that is natural, but to each their own. My frist relationship we never discussed it...from day one we were together.
cravinsugar 5 years
We had "un"talks. I would ask what we were, and he would answer. One day we were a couple, officially. I was fine with it. I didn't have to reveal anything, and he was in control (since when we started out he hadn't wanted anything serious). no pressure, no strings. we have had serious convo's though, just not that early on!
CoMMember13630786602261 5 years
My boyfriend and I had "the talk" He brought it up...I was more on the side of "do we have to put a label on it" But he took that to mean that I wasnt serious about our relationship, which I was, so we went ahead and "put a label on it" I think its good to know where you stand and to know that you are both on the same page about where are and where you are going.

If you don't have "the talk", how are you going to know whether or not you're on the same page?
bluebellknoll 5 years
I don't think that the talk is outdated at all. It makes sense to have a discussion to know where the relationship stands. I also agree with nysupergirl in that it doesn't have to be a long drawn out discussion either.
oohsexypenguin 5 years
I've always had some form of "the talk" in my relationships. With my ex, it came after he referred to me as his gf and I kinda freaked out (we'd only been dating for a couple of weeks). With my fiance, we were in the car one day driving to his place, and all of a sudden he asked "Would you like to be officially dating?" So cute, lol! I definitely think having some sort of discussion about where your relationship stands/is going is important, just so both of you are on the same page.
sc-cutie 5 years
That's funny. BF and I were just talking yesterday about how we didn't know when we really started "dating." At one point though, I do remember giggling on the phone with him about "so when are you gonna call me your girlfriend?" -- he said "oh babe, I've already done that!"
MissJules5x 5 years
i think if you're feeling a little insecure about the future of the relationship then the talk is always a good way to set things out in the open and get that peace of mind. if you are intimate with someone and spend enough time with someone to be in a relationship the communication should be there and it shouldn't be awkward. sure it can be nerve wracking to be the one to bring it up but it shouldn't be something people shy away from.
nysupergirl 5 years
I think that at some point in every relationship, there is "the talk" weather that is what it is looked at or not. If there were no such thing, the people would not know where they stand with each other, and would more likely than not, walk around being confused, and doing things that may unnecessarily hurt the other persons feelings. I know that in the past, i have had the talk in almost every relationship that i have been in, and the ones that I did not have the talk in were definitely short lived. The talk does not need to be some long drawn out and dramatic discussion, but can be as simple as clearing the air as to what you are and what you are not.
bbkf 5 years
No, I don't see the need to do that. The only time I've had any sort of "talk" was when my husband proposed to me.
bikinib7 5 years
My boyfriend was so silly and asked me if I would be his girlfriend. I never had that happen in previous relationships, it was kind of just assumed. haha - I blushed when he asked me, but at least I knew where we stood. (And we have a real anniversary date to celebrate.. lol)
Lily-Inferno 5 years
I would like to know where the relationship is going but to sit down and have a talk about it is a little strange to me. I dunno, I would find it a bit awkward. The "talk" my husband and I had when we started dating was "Hey, I love you" and that pretty much meant hey youre my gf.
infusedwithspice 5 years
I think it's respectful to make note of both of your boundaries . . . otherwise you risk the "we were on a break" or "I didn't realize we were serious" conversations. I'd rather know where I stand.
lemamike 5 years
It depends. I've had boyfriends where we had the talk but my current boyfriend (of over a year and a half) and I did not have the conversation. We've liked eachtoher since the day we met and just have ended up as boyfriend girlfriend.
fantome14 5 years
I think there does need to be a conversation, just so everyone's on the same page. The people we date are not mind readers, so even if we think we're exclusive, the other person might be waiting for the talk. My bf and I had a very simple talk, which is just what I wanted. He said, "I think we're heading a serious direction, and I think thats what you want too. Do you" And I said "okay." We then did have to talk about some past stuff that happened to both of us in order to establish what kind of relationship we wanted, but the actual talk was very easy.
zabrow 5 years
i was just thinking about this! usually i have some kind of "talk" with guys i date, but i've been dating a new guy for a few months now, we see each other most days & i've even met his parents, but i don't feel comfortable calling him my boyfriend without at least having a quick conversation about it. both of our groups of friends call us "boyfriend/girlfriend" when we're out, but i always feel like i have to correct them & tell them that he's not my boyfriend. i don't know at what point after you've been dating for a while it turns into an official exclusive thing if you haven't had some kind of conversation about it, so i'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else says.
Mesayme 5 years
It sounds like a childish and ingenuous thing to 'decide', like a business deal or something. Why are these people so disgustingly needy and fake?
alltherage 5 years
I dont think its outdated. But it does depend on the situation. But yeah at some point while the conversation doesnt have to be elaborate i think u do need to establish that you are dating exclusively and/or are serious...

20 weeks ultrasound
The 20 weeks ultrasound examination can be done from 19 to 22 weeks. The scan is usually performed transabdominally. Sometimes, it may be necessary to do the scan transvaginally.
The aims of 20 weeks ultrasound examination are to:
- Evaluate the structural development of the baby, with special attention to the brain, spine , face, heart, stomach, bowel, kidneys and limbs. If you wish, the fetal gender can be determined.
- Determine the growth of the baby,
- Determine the position of the placenta and the amount of amniotic fluid,
- Measure the length of the cervix if needed to assess the risk of preterm labour and
- Measure the blood flow in the uterine arteries if needed to assess the risk of growth restriction.
Some specialized forms of the 20 weeks ultrasound include fetal echocardiography, where baby's heart is examined in more detail, and fetal neurosonography, where the baby's brain is examined in more detail. This is usually done if a problem is detected, or where there is a high risk of a specific abnormality in the heart or brain respectively.
Most babies (>95%) are born healthy. Of babies with serious structural abnormalities, the 20 weeks ultrasound scan can detect about half. Whether it is detected or not, can depend on a number of factors:
- The specific condition: some conditions, such as spina bifida, anencephaly (deficient development of the skull) and gastroschisis (a defect in the abdominal wall), are detected in more than 90% of cases. Some conditions (such as cerebral palsy or autism) are usually NOT seen on ultrasound. Some conditions (such as certain forms of dwarf growth or hydrocephalus) only develop later on in pregnancy.
- How well the baby is seen on ultrasound. This in turn depends on the quality of the ultrasound equipment and the skill of the person doing the ultrasound, but also on factors like the pregnancy duration, the position of the baby and placenta, the amount of amniotic fluid and the amount of fluid or fat or possible scar tissue in your abdominal wall.
- The 20 weeks ultrasound is not a good screening test for Down's syndrome. Because about half of babies with Down's syndrome would have some major or minor abnormality which is visible on the 20 weeks ultrasound, it is better to do a 12 weeks ultrasound if you want to know what your baby's risk of Down's syndrome is.
If something out of the ordinary is seen, we will try to make as accurate a diagnosis as possible. This might entail further tests such as blood tests or an amniocentesis, consultation with other specialists (such as geneticists), or repeating the ultrasound examination after some time.

Share your dimensions ? Also is it on wheels? I was thinking this would work great in the kitchen where I keep my Boxer at in a wire cage that I would like to get rid of. Did you put a plastic tray in the bottom or just plywood bottom?

Dimensions: 24" wide x 27" tall x 36" long. This is a big kennel. Wood is pine and top is ash I believe.

much nicer than the traditional black wire ones, though probably not as portable. I think you definitely find a market to sell these to others who want dog crates that look a little better

Fantastic dog crate! Great design, very well made and like the clean lines. Looks really comfortable, I'm sure the dogs approve. Great job!
#7 posted 266 days ago
Thanks for the additional info, might borrow your idea and build one myself. I think I am going to look for some kind of pan to put in the bottom and maybe build a crate that fits the pan and my baby girl. Lady.

Helmut Lang to Host Second Sample Sale
If you missed Clothingline's Helmut Lang sample sale in December, don't fret. The brand will be hosting their own sample sale at their Soho store beginning next week. The sale starts Wednesday, January 9th and runs through Sunday, January 13th at 93 Mercer Street.
Merchandise will be up to 60% off which means dresses that used to be $395 will be selling for $90 and blazers will be available for $235 from $725. Last year's sale was mostly overstock so the quality of the merchandise was great. The prices are fair, could be a bit lower, but expect a lot of sizes and great leather jackets.

Fur & shine – my favourite combo
Apart from blubbering over the true death of True Blood – Was I crying because it never did redeem itself and get good again? Or because it was possibly the worst-written last-episode of anything? Or simply because goodbyes have never been my strong point and after four back-to-back episodes I had made my way through most of a bottle of red wine? True mystery. Where was I? Oh yes, apart from that I was drawing up a storm with my students, as usual. The sessions are always fun, always challenging, and just sometimes require me raiding my kitchen and laundry supplies… These are some of my demo drawings.

Injury forces Australian Samantha Stosur to withdraw from her Indian Wells quarter-final match
- From: AAP
- March 15, 2013
Australian Samantha Stosur was forced to withdraw from her Indian Wells quarter-final match against Angelique Kerber due to injury.
The world No.9 had looked in good form at the tournament and was eying her first semi-final in five months.
"The official reason for Sam Stosur's withdrawal is a right calf injury," the tournament said on its Twitter feed.
Stosur had on Wednesday recorded a rare comeback win in the fourth round, rallying from a set down to beat German youngster Mona Barthel 4-6 6-2 6-3.
The last time Stosur progressed past the quarter-finals of a tournament was in Moscow last October where she lost to Caroline Wozniacki in the title match.
Stosur, seeded No.7 in the event, held a 2-0 career record over Kerber who now receives a walkover into the semi-finals.

happens to use a source of ignition in a Cobweb Jungle, you'll have an inferno in seconds. A bit of Artistic License — spider silk does shrivel quite rapidly when exposed to intense heat (so yes, a flamethrower can clear out cobwebs), but it doesn't actually burn, much less cause the pyrotechnics that people have come to expect in fiction. On the other hand, the dust that collects on old cobwebs usually is flammable, so sometimes those dusty old cobwebs really are as burnable as fiction makes them appear. But in fiction even clean, freshly spun spider silk can (and usually will) go up in flames. Named for a video game. Not to be confused with the rise of the World Wide Web breaking the premise of a story.

A grant to investigate what motivates retail foodservice employees to follow safe food handling practices was awarded to a team of Iowa State University researchers by the United States Department of Agriculture Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension (Project Number 2007-51110-03806). The project period is September 2007-August 2010.
Project team members are:
Other research team members include:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimated that about half of every food dollar is spent for food prepared away from home (USDA, 2001). The average household expenditure for food away from home in 2005 was $2,634 with an average per person of $1,054 (NRA, 2006). Restaurant industry sales are forecast to increase 5% in 2007 to over $500 billion dollars, and serving more than 70 billion meals and snacks (NRA, 2006).As lifestyles change and there is less time and knowledge for food preparation at home, ready-to-eat foods and foods prepared in restaurants and other retail foodservice operations will represent a greater portion of consumers' diets and may present greater risks to consumers. Foods can become contaminated at any link of the food chain, from production to service. The majority of foodborne illnesses have been linked to foods prepared in retail foodservice operations and caused by human error at some point in the food chain.Knowledge, education, and training do not ensure safe food handling practices. Researchers have noted improvement after taking a food safety course. Effectiveness of food safety education methods and settings has been studied, but more work is needed.
While training appears to be an important component in developing employees' knowledge and skills in following food safety practices, training alone does not assure follow through by employees and, subsequently, safe food. Understanding factors that motivate employees to follow food safety practices is important, yet there is a paucity of research addressing employee motivation. Addressing these motivating factors is essential to assure the safety of food service in retail foodservice.
The goal of this project is to determine factors that motivate foodservice employees to implement safe food handling practices in commercial (clubs and restaurants) and noncommercial (assisted-living facilities, child care centers, schools, and university foodservice) retail food stores and foodservice facilities and develop strategies to improve employee motivation. Specific objectives are to:
This project will have three phases. The first phase will involve developing and testing a theoretical model to explain employee motivation to follow food safety practices. This phase will involve the development of scales to measure motivation, including establishing the psychometrics (validity and reliability) of the scales. The second phase of the project will involve developing training modules for supervisors/managers and dietetics/hospitality management students. The third phase will involve testing all training modules for efficacy in improving food safety practices.
Arendt and Sneed (2006) utilized the expectancy model and the theoretical underpinning to examine motivators to following safe food handling practices. Questionnaires were distributed to 169 students in three hospitality management courses. Data were examined by four individuals with food safety expertise to identify themes. Themes emerged across four areas: having supervision and the supervisor acting as a role model, providing consequences and punishment, holding employees accountable and implementing disciplinary procedures, providing reinforcement and reminders to employees, providing needed equipment, supplies, and uniforms to employees, having a personal experience with a foodborne illness, and inspecting and having regular follow-up. Five themes were consistent among all four areas: 1) providing incentives; 2) implementing discipline, punishment, and penalties; 3) providing resources (facilities, equipment, and uniforms); 4) monitoring employee behavior and holding them accountable, and 5) educating and training employees. A preliminary model placing the supervisor role within the organization context was developed from the themes that emerged.
The project proposal has been reviewed by the Iowa State University Office of Research Assurance. All data collection instruments will be approved prior to data collection.

Remember when Facebook was simply a great way to stay connected with friends and family? Perhaps you don't. Maybe you were never caught up in the "what are you doing right now?" age, and couldn't care less which comic-book hero your friends are most like, or how big their farm is.
Opening the morning's e-mail last week, I heard from an old friend - or at least I thought so. The message read : "I'd like to be your friend on Quepasa.com. Would you like to add me as a friend? Thanks! Richard Patterson."

We all know that perception often influences our decisions, yet we catch ourselves and become reminded that what we perceive isn't always what's really going on. With the constant barrage of information available in today's 24/7 world, it's important to not get caught up in the day-to-day market volatility and news headlines. That daily hype doesn't always dovetail with what Wells Fargo Advisors top strategists are observing in the financial marketplace.

I enjoyed reading the Sept. 17 editorial, The comeback kids. It was enlightening to read and opened my eyes to what our country is doing to preserve the existence of sea turtles.
Living in landlocked Austin, Texas, often keeps me from interacting with these unique creatures; however, I now feel better informed about the challenges facing them today.
The fact that sea turtle eggs have been stolen from nests resting on the beach since the 1960s is startling.
It has become increasingly important to protect them, considering that these small reptiles have also been misled by the bright lights that illuminate the hot concrete streets, causing them to crawl into heavy traffic.
Last, learning that sea turtles have been known to be caught, in order to make turtle soup, a popular dish for restaurants, is concerning.
Considering that these shortages are being caused by humans themselves, it seems fitting that we try to find a way to help mitigate the effects.
The ways in which Florida has begun to contribute to the conservation of sea turtles is incredible.

Why would T-Mobile want to postpone the rezoning request so that it could pay $2100 to the County instead of paying $1000 a month to Mr. and Mrs Pennington? If T-Mobile had wanted to deal with the County because it offered a greater resource for future cell towers, why did they not do so from the beginning. It would appear that someone from the County stepped in and muddied the water after a good faith negotiation had begun with the Penningtons. From the information provided in this article, it seems like the Penningtons have been unfairly treated during this process. That adds just another reason why we are right in not trusting our county officials ( Elected and Staff).

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – An Illinois House Committee has voted down a proposal to add a penny per ounce tax on sugar sweetened drinks.
The bill, nicknamed the "Soda Tax", wouldn't have just taxed soda. It would have also included things like sweetened tea, fruit drinks, energy drinks and even sports drinks.
The bill's chief sponsor claimed the tax would raise $600 million a year to go toward under-funded Medicaid programs and to promote better nutrition.

I needed a desk and the ones I saw on display at Target had broken hinges and the MDF was chipping off. So I did the math in my head and said to myself, "Self, I could probably buy the wood to make the desk and still have money left over." I think I made the right choice. It was an excuse to make a taper jig (Oh, how I do love making jigs so). In the end, I had a sturdy desk, enough wood to make several other projects, and also learned how to fill pores on Mahogany. Another successful project in the can!

Intense efforts are underway to introduce legislation harmonising Cyprus with EU laws on sexual exploitation and abuse of children in order to increase public safety and avoid costly fines, Interior Minister Socrates Hasikos said yesterday.
Commenting on media reports that Cyprus is about to be severely penalised by the EU for delaying to amend its child protection laws, Hasikos (photo) said the issue is being treated as a matter of urgency.
The Ministry submitted to the House on January 8 a proposal to harmonise national law on abuse and exploitation of children as well as human trafficking with EU legislation.
However, during the first meeting to discuss the bill on February 3, the House Human Rights Committee submitted a new proposal for the creation of separate legislation for both issues which is still under examination.
Hasikos assured that the proposal is now being reviewed as a matter of urgency by the Legal Services and will be submitted to the House as soon as possible.
"A grace period has been granted and fines will be avoided if the laws are introduced separately without further delay," said the minister.
Hasikos' announcement comes a day after the publication of media interviews with University of Nicosia Law Lecturer Antonis Stylianou who said Cyprus is only steps away from being slapped with fines of up to €8,000 per day over the delays.
According to Stylianou, Cyprus was initially given until December 18, 2013 as a deadline to transpose EU legislation into national law that aims to better define and categorise offences against children, introduce protective measures and enforce heavier penalties for the most severe crimes.
"This deadline and the next one set on March 21, 2014 were not met," said Stylianou.
"Unfortunately there have been many delays and Cyprus is not acting in the best interest of children."
Objections over the initial plan to introduce one law covering crimes against children and human trafficking were put forward by Commissioner for Children's Rights Leda Koursoumba, MPs and non-governmental organisations.
"Human trafficking and sexual exploitation of children are two very different matters which must be introduced into law separately," said Koursoumba.
"The police force and Immigration Department oversee matters of human trafficking but they are not qualified to handle child abuse cases."
New child protection laws were agreed by the Council of Europe and European Parliament and written into law in 2013 while member states were given two years to transpose the directive into national law.
The legislation penalises sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children as well as child pornography across the EU by harmonising around 20 relevant criminal offences and setting thresholds for maximum penalties. It also strikes hard at sex tourism and child pornography on the internet.

WOBURN, Mass., June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambridge Research & Instrumentation, Inc. (CRi) announced today that Oosight(TM), a non-invasive optical imaging system manufactured by CRi and widely used by embryologists as an aid in the field of in vitro fertilization (IVF), has been used in a groundbreaking study that investigated ways to select eggs most likely to produce a pregnancy.
Dr. Suha Kilani, senior scientist at IVF Australia in Sydney, led a group which included researchers from the School of Women's & Children's Health at the
"Extrapolation of these results would suggest that when a normal spindle is found, the chances of a pregnancy, if a high quality cleavage stage embryo follows, is greater than 65%," commented Dr. Kilani.
"We congratulate Dr. Kilani and her collaborators on the quality of their work. It is a significant step forward in improving methods of non-invasive grading criteria. This study adds to our knowledge of contributing factors to fertility and also validates the importance of good quantitative data as produced with the Oosight system. Such data are imperative if we are to make single-embryo transfer a reality, thereby greatly reducing the risks associated with multiple births," said Cathy Boutin, Product Manager at CRi.
CRi's Oosight systems based upon the company's original LC-PolScope technology can be seen at the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology conference in Amsterdam Ju

Inequality and size of the government when voters have other regarding preferences
AbstractThe celebrated relation between inequality and redistribution is based on selfish voters who care solely about own-payoffs. A growing empirical literature highlights the importance of other regarding preferences (ORP) in voting over redistribution. We reexamine the relation between inequality and redistribution, within a simple general equilibrium model, when voters have ORP. Our contribution is five-fold. First, we demonstrate the existence of a Condorcet winner. Second, poverty can lead to increased redistribution (which implies a countercyclical social spending to GDP ratio). Third, we show that disposable income 'strongly median-dominates' factor income. Fourth, we show that fair voters respond to an increase in 'strong median-dominance' by engaging in greater redistribution. Fifth, an illustrative empirical exercise using OECD data points to the importance of fairness in explaining redistribution.

I was surprised to see only 1 review for Mimosa Court hence this post.
I used to travel a lot to Nairobi on business between 2009 and 2011- so this post is dated but could be helpful to someone looking for cost effective accommodation on a long term basis.
Eventually the high cost of Nairobi's mainstay hotels became prohibitive and I needed an alternative when it became clear that I was going to need to stay there for a month or more at a time.
Mimosa Court had everything I was looking for. A big, fully furnished, spacious apartment that consisted of 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, lounge and dining room that overlooked the beautiful garden and sparkling pool. The apartment is serviced daily and the security provided is of a high standard.
Tasty, "home" cooked meals can be had on the small verandah next to the pool at very reasonable prices at certain times of the day, If you would like to enjoy an alchoholic beverage with the meal you will need to provide this yourself.
Being an apartment you will need to provide everything yourself (towels are however provided). Everything you need can be bought at the local Nakumat and Uchumi stores that are situated around the corner in Ngong Rd, about a 5 minute drive (I dont recommend walking in the area especially at night) so hook up with one of the many friendly taxi drivers to take you around. If you are not familiar with Nairobi traffic, you definitely should not try driving around yourself.
During my stays at Mimosa I often went to restaurants for dinner to be in a more "busy" environment (Mimosa as a whole is a very quiet, tranquil place). My favourites were Osteria Del Chianti in Kilimani and Mediterraneo at the Junction shopping center. The time to drive to either of these restaurants is entirely dependent on traffic conditions which can be bad in Nairobi - so while it might take 10 or so minutes on some days, on other days it can take half an hour or more...
All in all I had a very comfortable stay at Mimosa Court and would happily recommend it.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Mimosa Court is Nairobi's premier executive apartments Located just two kilometers from the city centre, Mimosa Court offers a distinctly tranquil environment amidst all the luxuries and privacy of contemporary home away from home living with fully furnished and serviced apartments. ... more less

You know where you blew up the second Anti-Air cannon while trying to disable the Leviathan's sheild? (Off the Thorn Hollow Landing Site or whatever) Look around near the remnants of the cannon with your command visor to find a giant battery. Pick it up with your ship's grapple beam and take it back to where you just were. After placing the battery in it's holding spot, the rest should become self-explanetory =D

I know RealGM does not really have much to do with this. But here is the problem.
Windows SmartPhones only have 1 app for boards/forums. It is called "Board Express Pro-Tapatalk" for Windows Phone 7. I cannot get it to work with with my Windows Phone. Every time I go on RealGM, it says that the server is off-line and it is usually a temporary issue. I can view the boards, but I cannot post or anything. I am logged in correctly with my user name.
It would be nice to get it fixed for us Windows Smartphone Users. I know they Taptalk works for iPhone users, because my brother uses it.
Here is their website:
I am not asking for the RealGM admins/staff to fix this issue. I am merely asking if RealGM can send them a message. I think it will mean more. I tried sending one myself, but I got no support. I am sure if they see it is from the RealGM forum staff itself, they will surely take some action.
EDIT*: It looks like they have no more ways of contacting them anymore. They do not allow anyone to register on their forums anymore. I guess Windows Phone Users only hope is if RealGM has contact with them or something.
By the way, if anyone was able to get this app working on their Windows Phone, let me know please.

When cleaning their bodies or taking a bath, people commonly use soap. Lately, however, custom shower gels have gained in popularity as a personal care product. This is because it is easier to handle than soap and will not leave any mess or residue in the shower. They are usually scented and there are aromatherapy versions that help reduce stress, promotes a restful sleep, and boost energy levels. The likelihood of grabbing potential customers using promotional shower gels is very high considering that more people are now using these products at homes, in beaches, or in hotels.

Personalized shower gels, compared to liquid soap, are based mostly on petroleum. They contain chemicals that allows easy cleaning of the skin. As they have a balanced PH state, they do not cause skin irritation. To prevent skin dryness, shower gels may contain some moisturizers in their recipe. Likewise, they have conditioning agents making them perfect as a body wash and hair shampoo. Promo shower gels is an emulsion of water and detergent base with added fragrance. Although not really functioning as a hair and body wash, shower gels can be a great alternative to moisturizing shampoo and can give the same result.
Customized shower gels will be appealing because they usually come in dispensers. This means that you can easily take them with you to the beach or when traveling. They can fit easily into bags, purses, or even your pocket. More and more businesses are capitalizing on their wide imprint area to add their corporate logos or contact details on the gel. This translates to continuous exposure of your brand. Whenever customers use bulk shower gels in the shower or beach, they will see your logo and remember it. They come in different varieties so you can choose the right one that will truly represent your brand.
We also recommend : Personalized Backpacks, Pedometers in Bulk
With the cost of most advertising mediums more costly than ever, considering imprinted shower gels can give you an affordable alternative. Consider buying them in bulk and you do not have to worry about what to give out on your next event. Printed shower gels can deliver huge savings for your company. In return, you can use the money to fund other projects that your company will venture into. Leave a lasting impression on your intended recipients and take your branding efforts to the next level.

This week, The New York Times reported on the production in China of an animated television series with an exotic 10-year-old heroine, Princess Fragrant. The 104-episode series is loosely based on murky historical narratives about the Fragrant Concubine, an ethnic Uighur woman who in the 18th century was brought thousands of miles east to the Chinese imperial court in Beijing of the Qianlong Emperor, an ethnic Manchu, to be one of his consorts.
The program's creators are Han, the dominant ethnic group in China. It was commissioned last year by the government of Kashgar, an oasis trading hub in Xinjiang, the vast western borderland where violence between Uighurs and Han has been soaring. The mythical tomb of the Fragrant Concubine, who is known as Xiangfei in Mandarin and Iparhan in the Uighur language, is in an Islamic Sufi shrine in Kashgar and is often visited by tour groups from other parts of China. Most Uighurs are Sunni Muslims.
The creators, based in the southern city of Shenzhen, across the country from Xinjiang, say their goal and that of officials in Kashgar is to improve ethnic relations through the cartoon, which shows Uighur, Han and Kazakh characters going on adventures together along the Silk Road.
