LOOOOVE these Wet n Wild blushes. Crazy inexpensive, super pigmented, blends beautifully into the skin, and lasts all day...what more could you want from a blush? This product does have shimmer in it of course, but it isn't glittery and just gives such a nice glow to the face. It's really more of a coral colour than a berry as the name implies, but gorgeous nonetheless.

Okay, so I love Wet'n'Wild products - especially their blushes. I bought the Berry Shimmer shade because I felt daring and it is this beautiful, deep natural red color. It was a bit too dark on my fair skin, but I think if I bought a lighter blush brush and used it rather than the brush it came with then I could make it work. Also, the brush it did come with is really nice ! It is angled and would be a really good brush to use for contouring. Plus I only paid $3 for this at Walmart so you really can't beat the price for the amount and quality you get !

OMG, I am shocked!
This is the most pigmented makeup item, I have EVER own.
This blush is just perfect. I like the colour, and I think it will go with all types of skintones.
As I said this is REALLY pigmented, so be careful when you apply. You need almost nothing on your blush, so please be aware while you apply it, so you don't end up with clown cheeks. :-)

Wet n Wild Color Icon Blusher in #834E, Berry Shimmer is a gorgeous deep wine color with gold sparkle. The pigmentation is absolutely phenomenal. It has fantastic color payoff.
The texture of the blush is very soft and easy to blend with a lovely satin finish. I found that as you blend it out, it does tend to lose the sparkle, but not the pigmentation.

This is the one Color Icon blush that I avoided for a long time, thinking it would be too intense for me. Seeing as it's less than $5, I decided it wouldn't hurt anything to just try it, and boy, am I happy I did! I'm pretty fair-skinned, but if I don't pile it on (which is sometimes difficult because it's VERY pigmented), this blush is the perfect just-came-in-from-the-cold color on me. It doesn't look clownish at ALL like I suspected. I imagine that since it looks good on me, it will look AMAZING on those with darker skin tones. I would highly recommend trying this for the colder months, or if you just want to try a reddish but not clownish blush for a few dollars :)

Holy pigmentation! I have the WnW blushes in Pearlescent Pink and Mellow Wine and I find them to be a great quality pigmented product, but this color? VERY pigmented! For reference I'm a W3-W4 in L'Oreal True Match. I applied this like any other blush and it was intense! I had to tone it down w/ my Rimmel Stay Matte translucent powder, but upside it lasted over 12 hours! Use a light hand and tap off any excess! I suspect that in the summer when I'm tan I won't have to be so careful, but regardless, don't you want a product where a little goes a long way?! Much better than packing on product just to get a color pay off. The color is very nice, don't fear the shimmer, it comes off more "subtle glow" as opposed to glittery. At only $3, I highly recommend this product for medium to dark skintones.

Love all Color Icon blushes! This one, I was afraid would look too dark & strawberry or cherry-like on my skin. It actually has a lot warmer undertones that I realized & looks beautiful. A rich glow. SUPER pigmented. It blends easily but you will have to learn how to use a light hand. I think due fiber brushes or stippling brushes are better since it picks up way less product than a normal big fluffy blush brush. I find it hard to spread evenly with a normal brush. It does not last on me forever because I have super oily skin & don't wear any foundation or setting powders ever. I bet if you set it with the UD setting sprays, it will last forever :) Oh & the tiny shimmer/sparkles in this blush can't be seen on your skin, I promise.

For reference I'm an NC35 or Nars Sheer Glow in Stromboli, olive skin tone with yellow undertones.
This blush is creamy,pigmented,shimmery (not disco ball shimmery), buttery, and oh-such a lovely color.
Very pigmented so use a light hand esspecially if you are a more fair skinned lad/lass. This is truly a stand out color to me; I was so afraid of this color in the pan thinking it would make my cheeks look to dark or muddy. This is a true to berry color, with warm undertones. I love wearing this with minimal eye makeup because it warms up the face so beautifully. The price point is great, the pigmentation is fantastic, and application is even and long wearing. Give it a try!

The jury is still out on this. I thought I would comment on my initial opinion. When I opened it I had a feeling it was going to be very pigmented. I usually don't buy such bright/dark colors. I just dabbed my brush into the pan and it picks up serious color! On my skin it's not very berry-ish. It's more coral. I'll have to wear it more to get a more detail review. I doubt I would repurchase...at least that's what I'm saying now. I am glad I bought it because I was curious about it and it looks nice on my skin but I could tell this is a blush that I will need a light hand with and lots and lots of blending! But that's not neccessarily a bad thing, if the end result makes my cheeks pretty. I'll be back....
UPDATE: I tried this blush again today and decided I really love this color on my skin. To apply it, I ever so lightly tap my brush into the pan and then lightly stipple the blush on my cheeks. Then with another brush I blend it in. This keeps it looking natural and very well blended. I'm so glad I tried this shade. I think it would look the best on brunettes/ black hair and dark eyes. It would probably be too much color for a fair blonde.

When I first applied this blush, I thought it was too garish and red - but then I just realized that it's SUPER pigmented and you literally need to just touch your blush brush to the product for a nice flush.
I am so amazed with the finely milled texture and colour payoff of this blush. It looks even better when I have a tan. It's a coral-red blush with fine gold shimmer.
The brush that is included is absolute crap and immediately went into the garbage can. The packaging kind of sucks and I'm always nervous that I'm going to drop it while trying to open it. But the quality of this product (as well as many other Wet 'n' Wild products) is so impressive and better than most of my department store blushes. Wet 'n' Wild is definitely my favourite drugstore makeup brand.

1. Winter Garden
Best time of the year is winter. Everything nicely done up for the cold under a thick mulch, an' you know that under there things are resting after late summer bloom, or already thinking about Spring. An Afteryule stroll around Mr Bilbo's garden can be a real treat on a fine day after a frost. Not much left to do this time o' the year so there's time to look and appreciate and remember.
Snowdrops are pushing though already, won't be long before they're bending their heads ready for flower. I love snowdrops, they're so soft and pure and delicate, but they stand up to the worst that's thrown at them. That smooth, clear white puts me in mind of…..
Some of Mr Bilbo's fancy hellebores are already starting to flower. Beats me how they manages in the cold. First year after planting, me an' Dad were right sorry when they collapsed in the bad frost after Yule, but when we asked Mr Bilbo to come and see if there was something we should have done different, he just smiled and said it was time for elevenses. And when we went back outside, there they were standin' up proud again. And the colours! Well, I don't 'spect you'd notice them so much in the summer with so much else to compete with them, but they make the long cold of Afteryule and Solmath a better place, with their pinks and whites and purples and yellows. No end of patterns inside some of 'em, too: some has quite large speckles, and some just a dusting like. I made a nice sheltered spot for the really rare one that's smoky blue like Mr Frodo's eyes turn when he's ...
There's already a few flowers showing on the lungwort; on'y the coral one, as yet o'course. Such a warming colour this time o' the year, like the most delicious lips you ever kissed…. Them as flower a bit later on come in all blues and purples, and some of 'em turns pink afore they finishes. Last one to flower here is a really piercing blue that I saw in an old garden over to Michel Delving one day, and I knew I had to have it… for Mr Bilbo's garden. Cost me a fair bit of Old Toby that did, but it were worth every leaf. Blues like that are few and far between and not on'y in the garden neither. I had to get that blue corydalis too, for spring, and the one with the smoky purple leaf – sets off the flowers no end, to my way o' thinking. Like shadows under eyes worn out wi' too much reading by candlelight…
Aye, there's a lot to be said for the garden in winter. Once I've cleared all the summer's growth and the fallen leaves to compost, you see the strong clear lines of it; without all the frills and furbelows, as you might say, You realise it has a naked beauty all of its own. You see under the trappings to the heart and strength beneath, and there's rare quality hidden there.
A/N: I hope one day to have a link to a page on my website, showing all the flowers I mention in my stories - for the horticulturally challenged!

"Acklins is a lovely, unspoiled island located on the southern tip of The Bahamas. The bonefishing is world-class and there is an abundance of fresh seafood."Leah Donawah, Acklins
Acklins & Crooked Island
Known as two of the more remote islands, Acklins & Crooked Island are as natural as they were when The Bahamas was first discovered. Separated by a 1,000-square-mile lagoon known as the Bight of Acklins, both islands are a haven for bonefishing, snorkeling and diving. You'll also find miles of undisturbed sandy beaches, coral gardens, limestone caves, magnificent cliffs and even remnants of slave and cotton plantations. It's the perfect way to forget about the complexities of life. In short, Acklins & Crooked Island are The Bahamas' definition of seclusion.
Discover more about Acklins & Crooked Island
Both Acklins and Crooked Island are extremely remote and not well known as tourist destinations. But don't let their natural surroundings fool you. Both offer plenty of exciting activities for the adventurous visitor. Acklins Island is one of the least known and most preserved islands in The Bahamas. Which means its rustic landscape is ideal for vacationers looking for private getaways with outstanding secluded beaches and premier bonefishing. Crooked Island on the other hand is one of the best guarded secrets in The Bahamas. It boasts sparsely populated settlements such as French Wells and Gun Point, which are reminiscent of early plantation lifestyles. Just over 350 people call Crooked Island home, making it a great place to explore your natural surroundings in peace.
First Post Office In The Bahamas
Landrail Point was the location of The Bahamas' first General Post Office. A hotel now sits around the remnants of the building, with the old stones and mortar of the original walls visible from the reception area.
Lucayan Indian Sites
One of the largest Lucayan Indian settlements in The Bahamas sits along Pompey Bay Beach, just south of Spring Point, Acklins. Ten ancient Lucayan sites have been unearthed by National Geographic Society Archeologists on Samana Cay alone.
Turtle Sound
One of the natural wonders of The Bahamas, this waterway with differing depths is referred to as an inland river. It runs nine miles from the French Wells Channel to just behind some of the northern settlements. Plenty mangroves, marine and bird life can be found there.
The three islands in this atoll (Acklins/Crooked Island/Long Cay) are unspoiled, sparsely populated and mostly undisturbed since the days of Christopher Columbus. With their peaceful atmosphere, these secluded havens make the perfect getaway.

The Ultimate Work Wardrobe – Five Essentials for Every Gal
The work wardrobe has always been a toughie. We struggle with the term smart casual on a daily basis and this tends to be the attire for most businesses nowadays. However, regardless of your work's clothing requirement (albeit smart, smart casual or extremely casual) there are five essentials you should have in your wardrobe.
Thanks to Motilo's style tips, and a little imagination, you will forever be ahead of the fashion pack when it comes to your work attire:
The White Blouse
The white blouse is an absolute must! Whether you team yours with boyfriend jeans and white courts or tucked it into your favourite floral formal skirt, it will go with everything. So hassle free and a timeless classic, every fashionista should have the white blouse in her wardrobe, regardless of your work setting.
image via glamour.com
For curvy hourglass figures, aim for a fitted wrap style to accentuate your fabulous figure and for slimmer shapes – silk flowing fabrics look perfection.
The Bold Accessories
You can spend a small fortune on your work attire, and it's an absolute minefield. By opting for simple classic option like the white blouse, you can invest in some bold accessories to bring your outfits to life. Chunky wood jewelry gives you an earthy look whilst jewels embody the vintage style.
And it doesn't stop at jewelry. Mix & match your jewelry with other accessories to look like the professional you are. We love teaming the bland white blouse/black pencil skirt combo with bright red accessories all over, including your nails.
The Black Trousers
We're not talking about the boring black school trousers that do nothing for your shape or confidence, oh no. The black trouser comes in many shapes and sizes, and you need the style best suited to your shape and attitude. Cigarette style trousers are super stylish and super flattering too for summer. Opt for ones that show off your ankles to elongate your figure and tick all that tricky smart casual box too.
The Loafer
A cross between the sturdy brogue and the flirty ballet pump, the loafer has the smart formal look whilst being a bit of fun too. Available in so many shapes and shapes, we love all the suede loafers on the market especially in fun summer colors out there at the moment like pastel pink and cool blue. Remember to team your shoes with a matching top to complete the look.
The Chic Handbag
To finish it all off, you need the ultimate handbag complete with your make-up essentials, ample stationary, notepad, mini perfume and business cards. The designer brand of the moment is Micheal Kors and their bags are stunning. Various sizes and just a handful of exquisite colors. However, you don't have to be drawn in by the fashion phase of the moment.
Mulberrys are still lusted over and Louis Vuittons have a fantastic fashion edge about them. However, we don't all have the couple of hundred lying around for such luxury, try online. Whether it's a designer classic on EBay or an affordable gem form the high street, your work wardrobe needs one killer handbag!

Tammy Wynette has a serious competitor for Nashville's Queen of Heartbreak crown: Lorrie Morgan, who at 36 is already twice divorced and once widowed in 1989, when doomed country star Keith Whitley died of alcohol poisoning. That translates into instant credibility for the hundreds of thousands of mostly female fans who are currently keeping Morgan's Greatest Hits package squarely in the middle of country's top 10. The album is also a reminder that Morgan is capable of delivering the kind of feisty songwriting that harkens back to Wynette's halcyon days in the '70s.
''The thing that Tammy had made you think: 'Well, hell, if she lived through it, I can live through this, too,''' says Morgan, who welcomes comparisons to Wynette. ''Women need a lot of understanding, and they need songs to help them express themselves. I want to make today's women feel what I felt years ago when I listened to Tammy.''
That philosophy has paid off with Morgan's blue-collar fan base but winning her peers' affection has proved harder to come by. ''There's just a few women in the business who'll even talk to me,'' says the plainspoken singer, whose 1992 hit single, ''What Part of No,'' showcases her pull-no-punches style. ''When I've refused to record a certain song, or said, 'I don't feel like doin' a show with a particular person,' people go, 'Lorrie's hard to get along with. She's just a bitch.' It may have cost me a few votes at awards time, but I'm not good at playing politics.''
Underneath it all, Morgan says, she's not so tough. The events of her life losing her father, Grand Ole Opry star George Morgan, at 16, and trying to rehabilitate the reckless Whitley (she used to tie his leg to hers in bed so he wouldn't sneak out to drink) also nurtured a tender side. ''People often portray me as Miss Hard Stuff,'' admits the single mom of daughter Morgan Whitley, 14, and son Jessie Keith Whitley, 8. ''It hurts my feelings a lot.''
But things are looking up. Her seven-month relationship with U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee is going strong, and this fall, Morgan makes her network debut in the ABC TV movie The Stranger Beside Me, playing the friend of a terrorized wife. ''I feel like I'm just beginning my life,'' says Morgan. ''I'm happier than ever. Maybe it's finally time for me to enjoy things.''

you pound the girl as hard as you can and want to inflict as much pain as possible (no hate)
this might be for several reasons
you may actually hate the girl because you know her or maybe you just don't like her ways (she is fat, ugly, stupid, feminist, etc)
how does it feel after you release? do you feel like the damage is done and was effective or does the anger continue to fester?
do you feel the need to do it again?

Before the creation of mankind there were angels. You either believe in the realm of spiritual and supernatural beings, or you don't. There is no middle ground, really, is there? Even as a young boy I believed. Before my conversion to Christianity I had a huge imagination for this sort of thing. After becoming a Christian, as a young man, my favorite stories in the Bible involved angels. These incredible beings were filled with mystery and wonder. But where did they come from? The beginning of the human race is well documented, but the subject of angels is sorely overlooked. There is just a glimpse into their existence. Click Here to Read More

I'm asking this as an open question; I don't know the answer:
Do we still assume the the numbers coming from these BISG reports, even while based on a consumer survey, do not in fact come close to reflecting the impact of the smallest publishers and the cadre of self-publishers on total ebook adoption and sales (perhaps in large part because of the absence of participation by Amazon)?
Study: Ebook Growth Stagnating in 2013
Once thought destined to reach 50% or 80% of all book buying and reading in the U.S., ebooks have stalled out on their way up to higher altitude.
According to a new study from the Book Industry Study Group, for the past year or so, the share of all new ebooks sold — both in units and dollars — has been flat at about 30% and just under 15%, respectively.
At the same time, the percent of book buyers who read ebooks on at least a weekly basis as well as the percent who have bought an ebook have similarly stalled at around 20% and 25%, respectively.
Those who planned on further ebook growth over the past year may be d. However, this doesn't mean that ebooks won't continue to grow. The report later shows purchase intent for tablets and e-readers. Consumers still intend to buy many of both, especially the former. As more people have e-reading devices in their hands, there is a likelihood that adoption of ebook reading will continue to increase.
The report offers tempered good news on this front:
As the innovation curve reaches its later stages, an innovation often becomes accepted as a natural component of the industry's business environment rather than an exception. Considerable evidence suggests that e‑books and other digital content products are now well established product categories that offer consumers a broader range of reading options resulting in an overall increase in reading activity.
The study, the latest version of the Book Industry Study Group's Consumer Attitudes Toward E-Book Reading, was conducted in August 2013 among 1,048 Americans aged 13 and up.

I think the impact of ebook adoption on self-published authors is huge, but that isn't what this study is measuring, or not directly.
The participation of Amazon doesn't really matter for this consumer survey. The study is asking consumers what/where/why they bought a specific book(s) – they may have bought them at Amazon – but it isn't asking Amazon what the consumer bought.
From my experience asking a consumer if a book is from a small publisher, or is self-published, isn't useful at all. That is something those of us in the business care about – consumers generally don't. Did they like it? Did they get it for a good price? That's what they care about.
–Noah Genner
The stall in sales isn't that surprising. Ebooks are still like computers were at the DOS stage. They're not a mature technology, so they'll only attract certain kinds of readers, mostly fiction and heavily romance novels
Reasons for the stall include:
1. A lot of book sales are as gifts. Gifting an ebooks is still rather weird and clumsy.
2. The richness and complexity of books still hasn't been duplicated. At one extreme are most ebooks, clumsy at displaying text well and downright awful when pictures are included. Amazon is especially bad there. At the other extreme is Apple's iBooks Author, which may be visual but forces a particular kind of visual–high school textbooks–on readers. I've got about a dozen serious non-fiction books I could port to ebooks if an acceptable way to include endnotes (pop-up) existed. Still better would be two sorts of notes. One for things worth reading. One for references that can usually be ignored.
3. DRM, incompatible formats, proprietary lock-in, and in general the feeling that, in buying an ebook, you're merely leasing it for as long as the retailer wants to support the format it is in. There's no way to sell it, loan it to a friend, or pass it along as an inheritance. And who wants to have their book collection lost across half-a-dozen readers?
The chief failing is that, for reasons that defy good sense, ebooks have been treated as long and simplistic web pages. ePub is just crippled HTML. Ebook readers are often just crippled web readers. All the hassles of HTML are there but few of the benefits. The only real difference is that DRM makes reading ebooks for less simple.
Digital publishing shouldn't have begun by looking at websites and asking, \How can we do that?\ It should have begun by looking at printed books and asking, \How can we do all that?\ Only after ebooks could do what print could do in Gutenberg's day, should fancy features such as multi-media be added.
@Michael: I agree that we are still in the early days of ebooks–more the Model T era than anything else. First generation technologies like epub are adequate for some needs, but are simply not sufficient for many markets and publications.
For example, our focus is primarily on digital publishing in the educational market. In the educational market, \advanced\ features such as support for complex layouts, multimedia, learner feedback, assessment, local and online access, delivery of scores to instructors, and activity statements/stream are very useful–perhaps vital to success. But, those features alone are not sufficient–they must be coupled with fast, cost-effective, and scalable \create once, run everywhere\ production systems that allow publishers to create and deliver such content on a wide range of devices, using multiple delivery methods and channels.
We are currently working with many partners who understand these needs and are working very hard to fill them.
I think your headlines need to be country specific, because the mature markets may be stalling, but the rest of the world has barely started their ebook growth – which means exciting times ahead! In the last month, I've sold ebooks in 22 countries – from Brazil to Burkina Faso – early days for sure, but I think publishers and authors need to start looking to the rest of the world. America isn't the only country of readers!
Pingback: Why is the Ebook Business So Out of Sync with Consumers? | Publishing Perspectives
I think it is safe to say that in 2013 print book sales haven't been all that great either. I haven't done a formal research, this is just the feedback of my many acquaintances and friends who work in publishing houses and bookstores.
If the sales of print books have indeed suffered in 2013, then I believe any pessimism regarding the stagnating growth of ebooks should be attributed to 2013 being a bad year for book selling, print books and ebooks alike.

Kushti wrestlers making hand massage inside a small akhara of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Pehlwani or kushti is a form of wrestling from South Asia. It was developed in the Mughal era through a synthesis of Indian malla-yuddha and Iranian Varzesh-e Bastani. A practitioner of this sport is referred to as a pehlwan, while teachers are known as ustad (or guru, for Hindu teachers).
The ancient South Asian form of wrestling is called malla-yuddha. Practiced at least since the 5th century BC and described in the 13th century treatise Malla Purana, it was the precursor of modern pehlwani. In the 16th century India was conquered by the Central Asian Mughals, who were of Mongol descent and officially promoted Persian culture. They brought the influence of Iranian and Mongolian wrestling to the local malla-yuddha, thereby creating modern pehlwani. Pehlwan who compete in wrestling nowadays are also known to cross train in the grappling aspects of judo and jujitsu. (wiki)
Man practising Pranayama by the Ganga river in a foggy morning, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Pranayama (प्राणायाम) is a sanskrit word meaning "extension of the prana or breath" or more accurately, "extension of the life force", a system of breath control in yoga practice.
Gangaur is a festival of women celebrated especially in Rajasthan. It is a time for them to dress up in their best clothes and participate in the festival dedicated to the divine couple of Lord Shiva and Goddess Gauri. A vow is observed by married women for marital bliss and young girls for ideal husband. Women make clay idols of Lord Isar (Shiva) and Goddess Gauri (Parvati) and worship for 18 days. They sing bhajans or devotional songs as part of Gangaur Puja. During Gangaur festival many fairs or Jatra are celebrated in Jaipur, Udaipur, and many other towns in Rajasthan.
Mewar festival is a fair organized in Udaipur during Gangaur festival. The festival marks the beginning of spring season in the state. Gauri and Isar idols are taken out for a ceremonial procession through different parts of the city. Women carry the idols on their heads and place them on the boats of Pichola lake at Gangaur Ghat at the end. Once the religious part of the festival is over, it is time for cultural events where the rajasthani culture is portrayed through songs, dances and other festivities.

Visiting a city or live in a place that doesn't have a bike share program yet? Don't fret – Liquid is a new peer-to-peer bike rental marketplace that makes it easy to borrow a bike from individuals or bike rental shops. Like other peer-to-peer networks, Liquid isn't just a place to conduct bike rental transactions – it's also a great way to meet people that share your passion for cycling.
The young company changed its name from Spinlister because Liquid better represents the type of marketplace it is trying to create. The service makes it easy to rent a bike or list your bike on the site. Afraid that your bike will get damaged or stolen if you rent it out to strangers? Just like other peer-to-peer marketplaces, Liquid collects reviews from listers and the renters following every rental in order to regulate the community. And for bike aficionados, the bikes themselves are also reviewed. Moreover, Liquid guarantees the safety of the bikes listed on the system. If a bike is damaged or stolen during a rental period and the renter is unable to reimburse a bike owner, Liquid will cover the cost of replacement or repair up to $5000. And they will buy you a cake.
Prices of bike rentals vary quite a bit from owner to owner and aren't necessarily cheaper than renting from a storefront bike rental shop. Liquid currently operates in many major cities across the US, and they plan to expand to other countries soon. Because it's a new service, bike inventories are still slim in many locations but are increasing as the system becomes more popular.

The potential negative side of social media
Social media is great, as is the internet, but both remain largely unregulated, as clearly demonstrated by the farcical situation regarding so-called "gagging" injunctions in the UK being breached all over the internet.
The internet can be a force for good but there is a dark side, as with almost all things. Here is a good example.
A significant number of hotel resorts have been reporting to Trip Advisor that guests have tried to blackmail them to obtain discounts, upgrades or other concessions by threatening to write adverse reports on the influential tripadvisor site.
The difficulty is compounded by the fact that the tripadvisor site allows anonymous posting and seems to do little in terms of spam or quality checking. Instead what happens is that the hotel or resort owners or managers have to monitor their own feedback and argue their case by replying to adverse comments.
Tripadvisor or similar sites are not the policemen of the internet but to be truly trusted, they have to do some legwork in ensuring things are fair for both sides. This kind of publicity just confuses people more, it can be hard to ascertain what's right or wrong ion these situations.
On a personal note, my family and I went to a hotel and resort slightly off the beaten track last summer in Agadir in Morocco last summer. When checking out this resort the reviews were so widely apart it was very difficult to make a decision about whether to book or not. Maybe this was a good thing, as the reviews were not bland, but bearing in mind the above, it now strikes me that some of the bad reviews may have had an agenda, particularly as the hotel was fantastic, the resort was great and the staff were exceptional. So much so that they allowed us to change the terms of our booking whilst there. Few hotels would allow that.
If anyone wants to know about this hotel and resort, just get in touch, but clearly, I accept no legal liability or responsibility, views are my own, blah blah etc etc !

Chinese appliance maker Haier Group is expected in the next few days to finalize a long-discussed plan to inject its white-goods manufacturing unit into Hong Kong, China-listed Haier-CCT Holdings Ltd., sources close to the matter said.
The deal will likely involve the injection of Haier's 40-percent stake in Qingdao Haier Refrigerator Co., China's largest manufacturer of white goods, into Haier-CCT in a U.S. $200-million transaction.
The transaction was first reported in the Financial Times, although it has been in the works for more than a year.
Such a move would result in Haier Group raising its stake in Haier-CCT from about 30 percent now to a controlling level, dislodging CCT Telecom Holdings Ltd., which currently controls Haier-CCT with a stake of about 46 percent.
"The deal should be finalized in the next few days," said one source familiar with the situation.
The Hong Kong Stock Exchange said in January that it would treat backdoor listings as new listings from March 31, 2004, and Haier's backdoor listing seems planned to beat that deadline. Regulators have come to frown on backdoor listings in recent years as they are an effective means of escaping the scrutiny imposed on ordinary listing candidates.
Since the announcement made by the exchange, there have been two major backdoor listing transactions: one by a firm controlled by Li Ka-shing, said to be Asia's wealthiest man, and one involving his youngest son, Richard Li, as the biggest shareholder.
Haier Group's backdoor listing was first proposed more than a year ago, when the group applied to the Qingdao planning commission to inject part or all of its white goods assets into Haier-CCT, according to a newspaper report.
The shares of Haier-CCT have been suspended from trading in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since March 8 pending a notifiable transaction, according to a stock exchange statement.
Sources said investment bank CSFB is advising Haier Group while Deutsche Bank is advising Haier-CCT.
Spokesmen from both investment banks declined to comment. (Dow Jones)

Used, One Previous Owner: 4 Celebrity Items Auctioned for Ridiculous Amounts
Subscribe to our newsletter
There's no denying that we're a celebrity obsessed culture. From the magazines to the gossip blogs, we care deeply about our social betters. So it's only natural that we'd want a piece of them to make our lives a little less wretched. The autographs, sports and movie memorabilia and other such items that can be found all over the internet are evidence of that. But sometimes fans and the celebs themselves can go a little overboard, resulting in some pretty bizarre exchanges, such as...
William Shatner and his Kidney Stone
Saying that William Shatner is 'a crazy guy' is a bit of a redundant statement, with post-Star Trek exploits including, at present, his infamous spoken word version of the Elton John classic 'Rocketman' during the 1978 Science Fiction Film Awards, his releasing of a (admittedly, quite badass) comic book series and related first-person shooter, and him flipping out after being caught cheating during a 1977 episode of The $20,000 Pyramid.
However, it all reached a head in 2006 when, following an admission into hospital with severe back pain, he announced he was planning to auction off the culprit: a kidney stone. Proclaiming in a press release, he stated that: "This takes organ donors to a new height, to a new low, maybe. How much is a piece of me worth?"
Turns out, $25,000. The money, put up by GoldenPalace.com (whose other purchases include a grilled cheese sandwich purported to show an image of the Virgin Mary and a VW Golf once owned by Pope Benedict XVI), was swiftly donated to charity though, so don't be getting any ideas about this sort of thing.
Scarlet Johansson and her Soggy Tissue
OK, so we're off to a considerably weird start thanks to Ol' Shats up there, but you kind of expect him to be a bit crazy with the auctions; for pete's sake, if you had to pretend to live in space for ten years, you'd be a sackful of spaniels short of a toolbox as well. But what about somebody who has never ever shown any ounce of madness?
During a 2008 interview with Jay Leno, Scarlet Johansson, who was suffering from a cold, blew her nose on a tissue. Then bagged it. Then signed it. Then put it up on eBay, apparently because the cold was given to her by Leno himself, thus making it doubly-valuable. The tissue eventually sold for $5300, further proving this theory to be (sadly) correct.
You have to wonder though. Why did she have a spare small plastic bag with her the day of the show? And a marker pen perfect for doing autographs? Actually doesn't matter, we just remembered that she once sold someone a twenty-minute long date with herself for $32,000, so by comparison, this is completely mundane.
Elvis Presley and his Hair
Imagine you were a celebrity and all your good roles and gigs had been and gone, leaving you to scrape at the very bottom of the barrel in order to earn some cash.
But a-ha! One day your friends (the heroin addicted ones) tell you of this brand new way you could milk your fame and earn some serious money: selling your hair to fans! Looking at it initially, this seems like a good idea; your supply keeps constantly regrowing and you won't look weird because everyone else is doing it! But what if someone took your hair without you knowing and kept it in their attic for 50-or-so years until you were nice and ripe in the ground? Which unethical money-hungry would do that?
Enter...quite a few people actually. First of all, there's the guy from Wiltshire in England who sold a SINGLE STRAND of Presley's hair for nearly $960, which is kind of paltry when you consider that a few months earlier, another man from England sold a single strand for $1700! Meanwhile, on this side of the pond, an entire lock of the stuff made $15,000. Jesus, we're considering buying some of that just so that we can clone Elvis and then sell his hair all over again.
Madonna and her Used Underwear
Remember the 1993 film Body of Evidence? Starring Madonna? Anybody? Well anyway, to cut a long story short, a piece of underwear worn by Madonna in that film was sold by a 'private gentlemens club' (who themselves acquired it from another auction) in 2005 to an apparently quite-avid fan for $1900. The reason they were selling? Apparently the club was undergoing a period of remodelling and needed a 'change', but we think we all secretly know the real reason why.
To give further credence to the ghost theory, it also appears that the original auction was cursed: it was deemed unsuitable for sale by eBay. Yes, Madonna's used underwear is apparently in the same league as firearms and Nazi memorabilia. No arguments here.

Book Review: Food and the City
By Sandy Amazeen Mar 29, 2012, 6:44 GMT
When you\'re standing in the midst of a supermarket, it\'s hard to imagine that you\'re looking at a failing industrial food system. The abundance all around you looks impressive but is really a facade. In fact, there\'s just a three-day supply of food available for any given city due to complex, just-in-time international supply chains. The system is not only vulnerable, given the reality of food scares, international crises, terrorist ...more
As food production moved off the family farm, taken over by mega-corporations driven by the bottom line, diversity and nutrition fell by the wayside. Mass-produced, specially engineered food frequently pumped full of unnecessary antibiotics and preservatives now line the grocery store shelves. The result is a loss of important varieties, the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria, an epidemic of obesity and diabetes. In the midst of many cities worldwide, there are food deserts where access to fresh wholesome food is nearly impossible. Now, thanks to community gardens, seed banks and dedicated individuals worldwide, fresh produce, eggs, chickens, honey and more are being grown in the most unexpected places. From tiny apartment balconies and window boxes to backyard raised beds and illegal garden plots in the middle of urban decay, people are taking a proactive approach to their food and this book shows how and where it is being done.
Journalist and food writer Cockrall-King presents compelling arguments for taking a more activist role in food production, not the least of which is the fact that most urban areas only have access to a three-day food supply. Should a manmade or natural disaster disrupt the normal food distribution chain, grocery store shelves will soon empty. As those pests that feed upon the few varieties of grains, fruits and vegetables currently grown on corporation farms become pesticide resistant, there is the real danger of a collapse in the food chain. From San Francisco to Vancouver and from London to Cuba, Cockrall-King shows how residents are changing the face of food deserts and advocates that all of us find a patch of dirt, no matter how small, and start our own green revolution. This fascinating, thoroughly researched book is a great starting point and highly recommended.

MGMT Already Apologizing for New Sound
MGMT's Ben Goldwasser apologized for "Flash Delirium," the first single to come out of the duo's sophomore album, Congratulations. "When we first wrote that song, we were laughing so hard," Goldwasser said. "It's not a single, but we thought it was a good way to entice people to listen to the whole record. I'm sure there are plenty of people who think it's completely weird and not what they were expecting. I'm sorry." Apologizing for the first single doesn't exactly bode well for the rest of the album.

Saturday 28 April 2012
A fantastic first-half display secured Wigan a thumping win over Newcastle United, boosting their prospects of Barclays Premier League survival.
The Latics' biggest League win of the season helped them move three points clear of the drop zone - and hit the Magpies' hopes of Champions League qualification.
Victor Moses opened the scoring with a header bofore adding another in quick succession with a smart finish.
Shaun Maloney finished from Franco di Santo's pass before the Argentine produced a glorious looping finish to beat Tim Krul and make it 4-0 before the break.
Newcastle pressed after the interval but could not break down Wigan, leading to jubilant scenes on the final whistle.

Relegated Wolves salvaged some pride as they produced a stunning fightback to earn a draw at Swansea.
The home side raced into the lead through Andrea Orlandi's header on 22 seconds, with Joe Allen's deflected shot and Nathan Dyer's header putting them 3-0 up after just 15 minutes.
Steven Fletcher's header seemed a mere consolation, especially when Danny Graham made it 4-1 to Swansea shortly afterwards.
But Matt Jarvis's low shot made it 4-2 at half-time - and after the break David Edwards netted before Jarvis's second completed an unlikely fightback.

Kevin Davies hit both goals as battling Bolton earned a vital draw to claim a precious point in their fight against relegation from the Barclays Premier League.
Davies neatly volleyed home from Martin Petrov's cross to put the visitors ahead, but Nicklas Bendtner levelled before half-time.
James McClean scored with a fantastic 25-yard free-kick to put the home side ahead but Davies headed in from Sam Ricketts' cross to earn a draw which leaves Bolton in the drop zone - but only behind 17th-placed Queens Park Rangers on goal difference.

Nikica Jelavic scored twice as dominant Everton eased to a crushing win against Fulham.
The Croatian slotted in a penalty after Pavel Pogrebnyak's handball to open the scoring, and Marouane Fellaini headed in soon afterwards as the Toffees took charge.
Jelavic's second came before the break with a low finish from a tight angle, then Tim Cahill finished from Steven Pienaar's through ball to complete the rout.

Robin van Persie's 28th Barclays Premier League goals of the season earned Arsenal a point in a hard-fought match against Stoke.
Peter Crouch rose to head in Matthew Ehterington's cross after just nine minutes.
But Van Persie converted Tomas Rosicky's cross six minutes later to ensure matters finished all square.

A fabulous late save from Shay Given ensured that Aston Villa earned a point against local rivals West Brom at the Hawthorns.
Given blocked a close-range shot from Peter Odemwingie in injury time as the Baggies pressed for a winner.
The visitors had the better of the first half and Gabriel Agbonlahor was twice denied by Baggies keeper Ben Foster.

Prof. Annette M. Kim
Fall 2011
A truly inter-disciplinary course, Housing and Land Use in Rapidly Urbanizing Regions reviews how law, economics, sociology, political science, and planning conceptualize urban land and property rights and uses cases to discuss what these different lenses illuminate and obscure. It also looks at how the social sciences might be informed by how design, cartography, and visual studies conceptualize space's physicality. This year's topics include land trusts for affordable housing, mixed-use in public space, and critical cartography.

How did YOUR parents react to you marrying someone with children? Does it matter? If it was difficult, did it get easier over time? Are my parents the only idiotic people in the world who are too old school?
I was 19 and he was 24 and had 3 children under the age of 3. He was working 3 jobs (picture people, pizzeria, and golf course) to support the kids and was living in his parents basement since BM left him 3 months before. My dad told me that if I ever saw DH again then I could get the F*** out of his house. Well then the next day my dad's best friend at work died of a heart attack in the bathroom at the age of 35. My dad was then afraid that if something ever happened to him, then he'd die with me mad at him. He told me that I was able to see DH and explained to me that things won't be easy and it's not what they really want for me but if it is what will make me happy then they'll be happy.
Fast forward to today. My parents LOVE DH and especially the kids. My mom always says if something happens to me and DH she still wants visitation with the kids. Those are her grandchildren no matter what. DH has also shown them that he will do whatever it takes to support his family. He's worked 3 jobs again, and now he is living and working 5 hours away to build his seniority at work so he can get transferred home and have a great job.
Here's my story:
I met my H, 5 years ago, when I was 20. He was a single dad to 2 girls (S was 3.5 and C was 15 months). Unlike the usual situations, their BM died when C was 3 months old. We started dating and I quickly grew to love his family as my own. My parents were not happy because I was young, he's older, and he has children. We argued about it a lot but, obviously, I wouldn't let them dictate my life or judge him because he was a widowed father. I ended up moving in with him and getting engaged very quickly.
My parents are very pro-education but I wasn't planning on quitting school and I don't know why they thought I would. Sophie and Charlotte are both, very much, a part of my heart. My mom has come around a lot but my dad is still stubborn. As a result, even though it's been years, we have a rocky relationship. They're very old-school and old-fashioned because that's how they grew up (they're not born in this country) so it's their mind-set but it upsets me. I want them to love my girls like their grandchilren and I'm hoping that will happen. I grew up very close to my parents so it does bother me but it's been so long that I'm learning to live with it.
That turned into a long vent...
My parents opposed it completely. They had been married for over 40+ years. They don't agree with divorce and were compeletly freaked out that I was dating a divorced single dad. I'ts not idiotic. They're just trying to protect you.
Blended families are not easy and not for the faint of heart.
My mom had a hard time, I think... not that she didn't love DH-she does! Her thing was that she thought I'd have kids some time in my life. I do, but they're skids, not blood kids. She's now resigned to deal with it as she has no choice, but I think THAT was hard on her vs. the fact that DH has kids. She does love the skids, though.

Los Angeles. Private detective Mike Church (Branagh), at the behest of the orphanage priest who raised him, rescues an unknown amnesiac (Thompson), who he names Grace and with whom he quickly falls in love. With the aid of hypnotist and antique dealer Franklyn Madson (Derek Jacobi), who appears on
the scene, Grace undergoes hypnosis and recounts her past life as Margaret, a British concert pianist married to Roman Strauss, a flamboyant emigre conductor who was imprisoned for her brutal murder. At a second session, she begins to blur the identities of Roman and Mike, and the latter realizes
that Grace is remembering a past life in which he plays a part as well. Intrigued, Church undergoes hypnosis himself and discovers just how symbiotic their relationship is: he was Margaret and Grace was Roman. Further investigation reveals that in 1949 the Strauss murder case actually transpired,
resulting in Roman's execution. As the modern-day and past experiences increasingly overlap, Church fears his romantic attraction to Grace will again end with a violent death.
Scott Frank (PLAIN CLOTHES, LITTLE MAN TATE) has created a screenplay which, at the expense of story and character development, prides itself on its ability to quote liberally from great films of the past. DEAD AGAIN borrows icons, motifs, characters and camera angles from a number of classics,
most notably Hitchcock thrillers such as REBECCA, with its gothic mansion and creepy housekeeper, SPELLBOUND, with its hypnosis, psychoanalysis and giant Salvador Dali scissors, and VERTIGO, with its reincarnated doubles and Catholic trappings, but also film noir mysteries and Orson Welles's
CITIZEN KANE. However unlikely the twists and turns in this mystery, DEAD AGAIN moves briskly forward, never weighed down by any sense of seriousness. Branagh's transformations between his lightweight, American detective and his heavy, Germanic musician are pure bravado, done for the thrill of
watching the Master Thespian assume two wildly different incarnations. leave a comment
