He noted that the stability, security and the vision of leadership to the future gives the U.A.E. a huge momentum to score more achievements in all levels, citing the political and development successes.
Gargash said, "Our foreign policy shows that the U.A.E. does not look for playing a regional role, but seeks to promote preservation of the integrity of the national values of the countries in order to promote prosperity in the region ripped by problems and painful events. He reiterated the U.A.E.'s concern about spread of Daesh terrorist organisation that threatens the political systems in the region.
He underlined that the U.A.E. is looking forward to creating stronger and stable systems in the region that can support each other in the face of extremism and terrorism, and to maintain the integrity of the national state that "We see threatened in more than one Arab country", calling for addressing the fragmentation happening in the Arab world through cooperation with many countries to tackle this dangerous phenomenon.
Gargash stressed on Egypt's pivotal role and status in the Arab world, noting that moderate Egypt contributes to the moderation in the Arab world.
He said the U.A.E. was clear in its resolution to classify the terrorist organisations, adding that it firmly handles the issue of extremism, which creates incubator ground for terrorism.
The U.A.E. minister noted that the U.A.E. began to respond to the terrorism, incitement and extremism before 20 years during which it was governed by its vision, wisdom and clear policy in tackling the terrorist movements and extremism.
About the resolutions of recent historic Riyadh meeting, Gargash said, "We are hoping for GCC reconciliation to overcome obstacles that had hampered the GCC work. Such a reconciliation should be translated into provision of political and economic support to Egypt because stability of Egypt is the stability of Arab region." He added that the Riyadh meeting succeeded in opening a new page among the GCC states, thanks to the patience and wisdom of The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, and great efforts of Amir of Kuwait, His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmed Al Sabah and His Highness General Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the U.A.E. Armed Forces.
On the most important issues to be discussed at the GCC Summit in Doha next month, Gargash said, "We are hoping for success of the Summit to further boost the integration among the GCC states in all fields, and unify views on strengthening Egypt's stability".
About efforts on ending Iran's occupation of three U.A.E. Islands: Tunb Greater, Tunb Lesser and Abu Musa, the U.A.E. minister, stressed on the U.A.E.'s legal and historic position over the three Islands, referring to the statements issued by the U.A.E. at the GCC Summits or the United Nations Security Council in this respect. He added that those statements were aimed at provoking the other party, but to reiterate the U.A.E.'s legal and historic stance.
Gargash said the U.A.E. has been for over four decades working to find an amicable solution within the framework of international law, and through mechanisms of bilateral dialogue or referral to the International Court of Justice.
About unfolding events in the occupied Jerusalem, Gargash said Israel is leading the region into a serious religious war through threatening the holy sites in Jerusalem, expansion in Jerusalem and the Western Region.
He noted that the Israeli government does not want the two-state solution backed by moderate Arab states, adding that by doing so Israel dismantles the moderate stance in the inflammatory region.
Gargash holds the international community accountable about spread of Daesh and other terrorist groups in Syria and Iraq, noting that similar situation may occur in Libya, which has become a sanctuary for extremism and terrorists who embrace the Muslim Brotherhood ideology.
Gargash said the danger of Brotherhood still looms large in a number of Arab countries, calling for concerted action to address it.
He said he does not see any solution to Syrian conflict, but added that the only solution would come through US- Russian Summit, and rejection of any Turkish intervention in Egypt. "The intervention of Turkey in Egypt's internal affairs is rejected as it opposes stability," Gargash said. – Emirates News Agency, WAM

The U.A.E. has called on the Arab Financial Markets to further update mechanisms that commensurate with the needs of investors and market conditions through licensing new financial products and services, and issuance of legislation and regulations to meet the market needs.
The First Arab Capital Markets Conference, which opened here yesterday and organised by the Union of Arab Securities Authorities (UASA) in collaboration with the Securities and Commodity Authority, Thomson Reuters and Arab Monetary Fund, called for introduction of new mechanisms and various technological services. It stressed on the importance of activating the role of corporate governance, enhancing transparency and support mechanism disclosures as well as a commitment to corresponding standards and law enforcement.
Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansouri, Minister of Economy, said the trading in the Arab financial markets amounted to $711.61 billion since the start of the year up until November 19, with a total of 22.34 million deals.
"Strong economic blocs requires maximum cooperation in order to overcome the challenges and difficulties faced by our joint work, which comes in the forefront of legislative structures varied and different organisational structures in the Arab stock markets and the difference in the listing and disclosure requirements," said Sultan at a capital markets conference.
Investment managers are likely to increase their allocation to the U.A.E. markets, revealed a report conducted by the Inter-Arab Investment Guarantee Corporation on Investment Climate.
About 47 per cent of the respondents of a survey are likely to increase the funds to the U.A.E. market, while more than 50 per cent of those are likely to increase the allocation to Saudi Markets. The Saudi regulator is likely to open the capital markets to the foreigners next year.
The survey also found that 40 per cent of fund managers expected to increase their equity allocations to Egypt and only 7 per cent to decrease them. The results of the survey also showed that funds are positive on many Gulf stock markets despite the recent slide in oil prices, which has lost more than 25 per cent since the start of the year.
"The capital markets regulator said it is facing challenges due to rapid changes in the capital markets. Following the global financial crisis, the regulator faced challenges to revisit old legislations and they had to come up with new amendments, which took time as they had to go through a set process, said Abdullah Salim Al-Turifi, the Chief Executive of Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority.
The year 2013 witnessed a record 23 deal IPO in the Middle East and North Africa, which raised $3 billion, an increase of 64 per cent in terms of volume and 51 per cent in value terms. – Emirates News Agency, WAM - http://www.wam.ae/en/news/economics/1395272989561.html

Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, ADX, yesterday announced the listing of National Investor in the Exchange's Second Market for private companies under the symbol TNI. The company's shares started trading on the 25th of November.
The listing ceremony was held at the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) in the presence of Rashed Al Balooshi, CEO of ADX, and Yasser Geissah, CEO of The National Investor, as well as a number of senior staff from both organisations.
The "new" market, where listing does not require full stock exchange disclosure, is also intended to serve as a stepping stone for some companies to go public, and will facilitate that process by providing ownership records. The new initiative will also help improve corporate governance and transparency among companies while strengthening the anti-money laundering efforts.
ADX listing of the National Investor in the Second Market comes in line with its strategic initiatives aiming towards diversifying investment products which will create more vehicles for investing money that will help to stimulate long-term growth and diversification, as well as the encouragement of more institutional investors to the market.
"We are delighted to welcome The National Investor on the ADX growing list of companies," said Rashed Al Balooshi, CEO of ADX. "The National Investor's solid reputation built over two decades of professional and transparent services offered to a substantial client base that includes listed and privately owned companies, financial institutions and high net-worth individuals, makes it an ideal addition to our listing." He continued, "listing of The National Investor is important for the market and the company, whereby it further strengthens its position in the market locally, regionally and globally, and will secure future growth, not to mention also that this process will open the doors to foreign investors and local citizens who are looking for more opportunities to diversify their portfolios".
Al Baloushi added, "As part of the program of best practices that we adopt and apply through the operational mechanisms at ADX, and in line with the strategy and aspirations of 'Abu Dhabi Vision 2030', we encourage more companies to list their shares on the second market, stressing through his speech the importance of new listings in giving investors more opportunities to diversify their investments and therefore spread their risk further, which consequently helps to enhance stability in the market which in turn will attract more institutional investments to Abu Dhabi in particular and the U.A.E. in general".
TNI's asset management practice manages three funds, including TNI U.A.E. Blue Chip Fund,TNI MENA UCITS Fund and TNI MENA Hedge Fund. These funds are targeted at international and local institutional and sophisticated high net-worth individual investors. TNI asset management has a rigorous investment process coupled with strong buy-side research capabilities, which positions it as one of the leading fund managers in the U.A.E..
"SCA's initiative to allow listing of private companies is a significant step towards the development of the U.A.E. capital markets. TNI, with its strong corporate governance framework and proven track record, will bring further diversity to the ADX exchange," added Yasser Geissah, CEO of TNI. – Emirates News Agency, WAM - http://www.wam.ae/en/news/economics/1395272981306.html

Razer DeathAdder 2013 Mouse is Stupid Fast
Why you'd buy the old DeathAdder mouse from Razer is anyone's guess, especially since the new one is twice as powerful and costs a mere $10 more.
The Razer DeathAdder 2013 features a 6400dpi 4G Optical Sensor. Last year's model boasted a by comparison simpleton 3500dpi Razer Precision 3.5G infrared sensor. So you see, it not only sports almost twice the dpi, but it now has an optical sensor. Also included are zero-acoustic ultraslick mouse feet, a gold-plated USB connector, on-the-fly sensitivity adjustments, a seven foot lightweight braided cord, and a design that is only compatible with right handed gamers (there is also a lefty version, just make sure you choose that). It's also compatible with Razer's Synapse 2.0 service, which syncs your mouse with the cloud, and automatically downloads the necessary drivers, firmware updates, as well as save individual settings without you needing to "lift a finger".
You can buy the Razer DeathAdder 2013 for $70.

After 3 weeks of nominations and another 3 weeks of voting, the polls are closed, the ballots have been counted, and Krissi001 and Mirz123 are here to announce the winners of the 2012 Emote Award.!Before we get to the winners, though, we'd like to comment on a question that was raised during the voting process. There was some concern that a few of the "newcomers" actually posted their first emoticon before January 1, 2012. In previous years, the Emote Awards were done on an erratic schedule, from a date in December to another date in December. Our goal this year was to get the awards on a full January 1 - December 31 calendar. As a result, there were a few newcomers that fell into the gray area between the last awards and the new January date. In the spirit of fairness, we allowed those couple of emoticonists to compete, since we did not feel it right
Why is Gaspar bleeding.READ THIS:I REALLY, REAAAAALLY don't want you to start commenting on the following people's profiles and/or artwork, at least not because of me since they probably don't even know what they're doing. I assume they're just kids.Thanks.----------------------------------Hi there,I don't know how to start this, hah. I will make it look fun, since I can't do much about it, but I think it's actually pretty sad.There's a drawing I made many years ago, back to 2008 when I used to be at Asato-Kun, this one:It's pretty awful, isn't it? It's actually a really bad drawing, hahaha. Well, the point is that my dear friend Tama (LazyTurtle) sent me a message in Facebook with the link to some girl's artwork that ended up being a base of this drawing, but retouched.I told Tama that I'm used to find this picture all over the internet, since many RPers don't have any respect, hahaha, and well, I decided to use my good buddy Google to find more of the edited masterpieces that

Wall-E the Cyborg (Chapter 6)
True Directive
Nothing but darkness was all Eve could see till the word "Reboot" suddenly flashes as her view comes into focus and Scans around and feel's disoriented.
Eve ended up in the Garbage Depot as Eve lies in a seemingly endless warehouse of trash but not just trash, slime, and cyborg parts were everywhere in piles dumped from a variety of celling chutes.
Eve looks down to see computer mice crawl over her as one of them has crawled over her Reboot button and switched her back on.
"Wall-E! Wall-E where are you!" Eve yelled as a warning alarm sounds.
Eve spots a platform, loaded with giant trash cubes as it slides into an airlock as the inner shield doors lock and seal.
"Caution: Activating airlock disposal...Activating airlock disposal" a computer voice said as the exterior hatch flies open and the vacuum of space instantly sucks out the cubed trash.
Eve begins to panic and calling out again "Wall-E!" she yelled as suddenly, her area is flooded in light she flinches at the sight
Wall-E the Cyborg (Chapter 5)
Back with the Captin he plays with a toy Axiom and a globe of the Earthmaking Rocket noises "Prepare for landing..." he said making Landing noises "We're here everybody!"
"Yeah, Captain!" he said making crowd cheers.
"Captain we're home! It's so beautiful!" more crowd cheers"
"...No it's nothing. I was pleased to do it. It's all about you people –" but from the trash Eve bursts out from it, like an angel and blows the lid off.
The Captain is stunned by this vision as she opens her chest to reveal the plant.
"How...? How'd you find it!" he asked as Eve hovers over to him and salutes and formally presents him the plant as he takes it in his hands.
Still potted in the old boot he gazes at it in wonder. "We can go back home...for the first time!" he laughs. "What's it like now?"
"I don't know"Eve said as she shrugs.
"No, no! Don't tell me! I want to see for myself!" he said as he turns to his console and hits a button.
A Cylindrical Device rises from a panel and the Captain st
Wall-E the Cyborg (Chapter 4)
The Repair Ward is a fully automated clinic for broken cyborgs and daycare for the malfunctioned. The Rejects are kept in force field pens and the wall has dozens in pens along the walls.
Eve and Wall-E stop at the Inspection Stations as robotic orderly-arms activate.
Wall-E watches them systematically check in Eve and preform an I.D. scan.
The then attach a red defect boot to her head and shoulder and press a button on the boot as Eve goes into pod mode and is lifted off the transport.
"Where are you going?" Wall-E asked.
The orderly-arms now start on Wall-E as he escapes before they can place a defect boot on him and races through the ward.
Wall-E runs smack into a defective Beautician-Cyborg as she turned to him with a creepy smile.
"Just a trim? Uh huh" She said as she paints Wall-E face with hideous looking make-up then holds up a mirror as Wall-E gasps.
"You look gorgeous!" she said.
"Are you insane! Get this junk off my face!" Wall-E yelled as he is snatched up by an orde
Wall-E the Cyborg (Chapter 3)
The Rescue
When Wall-E opened his eyes he saw he was in space as he looked back to see the Earth starting to grow smaller as he floated away from the ladder and grabbed a hold of it as he looked to a window to see Eve pod.
"Eve look stars!" Wall-E said.
Soon after flying past the moon and getting a chance to recharge his solar energy when they flew by the sun and flying under one of Saturn's rings.
Soon the ship drew close to purple space clouds as he saw a ship emerge as they flew towards it.
"The Axiom I remember when this ship left it was the day they sent us to clean up I can't believe it's been 700 years since I've last seen it" Wall-E said.
The small ship then landed in the docking bay of the Axiom as the gravity turned off and Wall-E stood as he watched mechanical arms repair and refuel the ship as he heard a shuffle and saw all the Eve pods being move.
"Eve" Wall-E said reaching to try and pull her put but looked up to see a mechanical arm as he moved back and watched the pods
Wall-E the Cyborg (Chapter 2)
Meet Eve 2.0
Wall-E shook as he pushed off the hot rocks off his head as he pocked his head out and looked around as he stood up and hit his head on the ship with a lound clank.
"Ow!" Wall-E said rubbing his head as he crawled out from under it and looked up at the massive ship, "Is this the ship? Have the humans returned?" he asked himself as he saw the ship open up.
"Ahhh! Got to hide! Got to hide!" Wall-E said as he quickly hid behind a pile of garbage as a large device lowered from the ship as he saw it began to scan the area with a blue scanner but hid when he saw a pod come down and the machine grew arms as it began typing on the pod.
"What is that?" Wall-E asked as he saw the arm set the pod down on the ground as the arms typed on a keyboard as he saw the pod fall apart as Wall-E hid in fear of what it held.
"Okay Wall-E calm down just take a peek and then decided if it's dangerous" Wall-E said as he looked back over then gasped at the sight.
Before him was a beautiful girl in a
Wall-E the Cyborg (Chapter 1)
Meet Wall-E 2.0
For 700 years the cyborg units Wall-E have been cleaning up the Earth while all it inhabits waited for the planet vegetation to return but 500 years into the clean up all the cyborg units began to malfunction and shut off all except one that had a malfunction that kept him working but also gave him a personality and called himself Wall-E.
Wall-E became self-aware and continued what he was created to do but also started to learn and collect Earth forgotten treasurers.
He learned for Movies he collected about the many things Earth once had he learned every emotion, every human action and soon acquired a painful emotion called lowliness.
Even with his pet cockroach keeping him company Wall-E wishes for a companion someone he can finally do all the things he learned from the movies with someone who can teach him love.
Wall-E is a cyborg unit built by humans to clean up the Earth Wall-E body is built exactly like a humans with robotic organs but with a few different feathers

Incarcerated rapper Lil Wayne is still putting in work despite being behind bars, according to newly signed Young Money artist Cory Gunz.
According to Cory, he shares a special bond with Wayne which surpasses artist-boss ties.
"I think Wayne is really one of the only people that understands me," Cory told DJ Envy in an interview. "Him and Mack [Maine], for him to reach out and understand [is great]. His spirits are up, you know, but nobody wants to be in that position. I know I wouldn't. For the position that he's in, he's spirits are definitely up, he's holding his own. Shout-out to Weezy again, he'll be out real soon and his spirits are high and everything and he's good. He's still working, getting things taken care of from where he's at." ("Sucker Free")
Earlier this month, Gunz gave his reaction to being recently signed onto Young Money.
"Shout out to Wayne for giving me a shot. He kept it real. All I'mma say, that this is it. This is what it is. Everybody just better get ready…Wayne is gonna executive-produce the album," he explained in an interview. "I trust his insight. He's going to be overseeing everything. I'm gonna keep doing the things I been doing. I think that's what's gotten me noticed. I'mma just keep my grind moving. Whatever ventures I can do, I'm bringing my familythrough. My whole team is gonna eat. I'm just telling everybody to get ready…I haven't met Nicki [Minaj] yet. Me and [Drake] met a while back when they was doing the I Am Music Tour in Arizona." (MTV)
Speculation on Wayne signing Gunz developed last March.
Lil Wayne is turning himself in today but last night he spent time live on webcam where he first talked about his recent show with Jay-Z at Madison Square Garden. Wayne later said that Cory Gunz would be the next artist on his Young Money label. "Shout out to my n—a Cory Gunz, about to be the newest member of the Young Money team." Gunz tweeted over the weekend, "LOL. Young Money!!!!!!" (Rap Basement)
Wayne was officially sentenced to a year behind bars in early March.
Lil Wayne has been sentenced to a year in jail after pleading guilty in a New York City gun case. The Grammy Award-winning rapper was taken away in handcuffs to start serving his term immediately after his sentencing. He'll serve his sentence in city jails, not a state prison. He could be released in about eight months with good behavior. (CBS News)

Saint John Theatre Company aims to produce the highest standard of live theatre, and the most diverse English-language theatre programming in New Brunswick, using highly skilled local and regional talent.
A Message from Artistic Director, Stephen Tobias
Theatre (as we know it) has been around for roughly 2500 years, so the Saint John Theatre Company is still a relative newcomer in the scene. However, we are extremely proud of the 24 years of great story-telling that we have offered to the community. From humble beginning the SJTC has grown into a thriving arts organization that is making its impact felt throughout Southern NB. The SJTC is now one of the most prolific theatre producers in the province which is fitting for a community of the stature of Saint John. It's a great city and we want to ensure that we have a great theatre company.
Our 25th year will be a big one on-stage with four separate series of works: Main Stage, Studio & Presentation Series, as well as the Fundy FRINGE Festival. Combined we will be offering over 25 theatre works to our audience. Beyond that: the SJTC will be busy off-stage as well. Education, Community and Literacy outreach in addition to Training & Mentorship activities are designed to make our community a little more vibrant; a little more cultural; a little more livable!
I invite you all to join us on this wonderful theatrical journey. Anchoring it all is our Main Stage series. Bond with your family at the ever-popular Sound of Music. Experience the full blown blending of theatre and symphonic music in the Tom Stoppard comedy, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour. Shed a tear at the touching and tragic romantic saga of The Great Gatsby. In the intimacy of our BMO Studio Theatre, come and share in some amazing stories such as Stephen Massicotte's Mary's Wedding and Harold Pinter's Betrayal. We offer something for everyone this season. Come share in the work that celebrates the many talented people of southern NB!

Hi aprilcindy. It's nice to meet you. Will you please fill in your profile so we can know something about you? Thanks a million. Stick around and jump in anytime. The people here are awesome!
I think you really need to have a serious talk with him. I can say if anyone ever did that to me, I wouldn't have sex with them. Hell, I might not even stay with him. How are things outside the bedroom? Why does he think he needs porn in order to get excited? Has he told you what he'd like to do to make your sex life better? Is there any reasons why you don't initiate? Do you have any fantasies that you'd like to act out?

I can understand watching porn on occasion. Master and I will sometimes watch porn together before W/we have sex. W/we have a stack of DVDs, but W/we have never watched a movie all the way through. Once W/we start having sex, O/our focus is on one another and not on the movie. W/we'll sometimes have the movie running, but W/we don't keep watching it while W/we are having sex.
I agree with nhgal. I would most likely leave a man who couldn't have sex with me without including porn. I certainly would not have sex with him. That would make me feel useless. If he needs his porn so much, then what am I there for? He could use his hands on himself or have a blowup doll. It would make me feel that he didn't want me. He wants what he sees on the screen.
I wouldn't definitely have a long, serious talk with him about this. And please do it now before the anger and resentments start to build up and you pass the point of no return.

Hi there,
Being diabetic can have a huge impact on his libido. But since he masturbates to porn, and uses it during sex, well I really don't think there is anything terribly wrong with his libido, but there is definitely something wrong with his attitude towards sex! I agree with the others - if my man couldn't have sex with me without including porn, there would be some serious trouble!
|Wed, 01-21-2009 - 10:52am
My husband does not masturbate. He tells me to get him ready, meaning get hard and then we will have sex. I told him last night that no more porn movies while we have sex and he said said ok.......and then he said I told you I could get it up without movies but it's just easier.
I'm not going to allow this anymore. For over 3 years we did this because we were trying to have a baby and I didn't care how he did the deed, I just wanted to get pregnant. I finally got pregnant after 3 years and now our son is 6 months old.
My husband feels it's up to me to get his tool started.........our sex life is really boring.

My husband feels it's up to me to get his tool started.........our sex life is really boring. <<<
Who should get it started then? He should just spring into action? You start him up, he starts you up, that's what the foreplay is for.
Do you know what would make it less boring? Can you say so, does he take suggestions? Whips & chains, spankings & names? Do you get oral sex, do you give it? Is it always in the same room, same time of night? Act out the porn?
I'm not going to allow this anymore. For over 3 years we did this because we were trying to have a baby and I didn't care how he did the deed, I just wanted to get pregnant. I finally got pregnant after 3 years and now our son is 6 months old. <<<
This sounds as one sided as him not doing anything sexually for you. Allow?
You didn't give any suggestions, you LET him have porn on, you let him set the pace of sex. Now your expectations have changed & he's still wrong, when you gave him no direction in the first place. And he has penis issues.

We love to watch sex while I have my penis in her. We rarely make it through a complete scene.
