Alix- We are still waiting for our consultation on October 9th with the new RE to get a second opion and most likely switch clinics. I am doing clomid this month though since I had it prescribed last month and didn't get to take it.
Alix- That is insane! Did your boss take immediate action? You should not be put in a situation where you are in danger. What on Earth would possess someone to say something like that? Wow, I would make absolutely sure you are not ever put in a situation alone with that guy. I hope a formal complaint has been filed, so it doesn't get swept under the rug. Any chances anyone else heard him say that?

Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes!!! DH said he has a good feeling about this month so we shall see!!
Nursetara - I hope this month is your month with the Clomid! I will KMFC for you!!! Thank you so much for the welcome wishes! You ladies are so welcoming!!!
Brie - Keep your head up!!! How much longer do you have until your classes are over? Is there any family or friends nearby that could give you a hand during this time so you can get your studying and homework done? It's a shame that he is this way...I hope things get better for you!!! And the 14th is fine for my test date. I actually think I may have ovulated on the 2nd so it could even be as far out as the 16th if you want to change it to that. Either way I will definitely keep you guys posted and KMFC for that BFP!!
Alix - Make sure you follow up on your complaint from whoever said they would keep you in the loop. Keep on them and make sure appropriate actions are taken. The comment he made was very inappropriate...joking or not....it is just something that shouldn't be said. And I definitely would also feel weird about also working with him again. Follow your gut instincts!!!

Alix: OMG! How flipping insane!! I wish I was there! I know violence isnt the answer, but I'd sure like to kick him in his kahonas and see if it "really kills his babies!" little freaking ba....... OMG. Girl, I dont know how your DH didnt just go up there and choke his brain cells out..obviously that idiot is lacking some so it probably wouldnt have hurt him. That just makes me so freaking mad! Maybe you and DH can sit down and work the financials and maybe you can afford to quit for a little bit and then take a few weeks to find another job? please do! i am now worried about you!!
Faith: I put the 14th up for now, and welcome! These ladies are amazing! Welcome aboard! I have 2 more semesters after this one, but this one just started..so more like 3.
Tara: KMFC for you!
afm- not much to report other than school is crazy, as usual. DH's coworker and friend's wife just found out she is pregnant with baby number 5. Shes insane.. she doesnt even look after the 4 they have. She has been trying to trap her husband for 3 months into getting her pregnant.. if its even his..which is a completely different story lol. However, she wants another one because...wait for it... "Brie gets to stay home all day with her baby so I should too!"... wow. Seriously? Yes. But Chris works 60+ hours a week, and her husband works more (often 7 days, and upwards to 16 hours a day at times!) to struggle to support his family. She doesnt want to work at all, and he keeps pushing her to work more. She doesnt watch her kids now and pushes them outside and locks the door so she can read. I go to school and am very involved with Layla. I feel guilty for staying home because Chris has to work so hard for us and had to drop out of school. I just dont get it, and I dont get wanting to bring another baby into the world all because you are jealous of me (and her words here, not mine.). I feel bad for that poor baby, the enviornment he/she will be born into is sickening.. roaches from floor to ceiling..pots and pans filled with mold because she wont wash them.. making the dog eat the kids poop accidents so she doesnt have to clean it. Oh and she is now "anti vaccine" and home birth. I had to explain to her why vaccines were important.. like prevents pandemics and epidemics.. duh. Her 4 are always sick, then in the emergency room for various things running across a hot stove, stabbing themselves, etc. Crazy.. jealousy is not a reason to bring a baby into this world esepcially when you are struggling to take care of what you have. But i guess not everyone sees reason the way I do.
On the upside, DH told me how proud of me he is and that I make him so proud by how far ive gone in school and how good I am at it. That doesnt happen often (not that hes a dingaling always..he just isnt very good at sharing his emotions..he just expects me to know lol.) so I was completely taken by surprise. :
Mommagiggles- Thanks!
Alix- I agree that you should make sure they follow through!
Brie- Yikes, that is frightening. That is grounds for CPS. Those children don't sound like they have a stable living environment. How increadibly sad. My DH isn't overly emotional either, so I agree it means so much more when they share their feelings like that.

Profile-Driven Storage
Streamline Storage Provisioning
Profile-Driven Storage provides visibility into your storage pool, letting you optimize and automate storage provisioning. Give VMware vSphere® administrators the ability to overcome upfront storage provisioning challenges, such as capacity planning, differentiated service levels and managing capacity headroom. Administrators can meet growing business needs by provisioning datastores at scale, eliminating the need to provision virtual machines on a case-by-case basis.
- Manage initial and ongoing virtual machine placement based on pre-defined requirements.
- Create datastore clusters to support VMware vSphere® Storage DRS™.
- Gain deep insight into storage characteristics via integration with vSphere APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA).
Ensure Application Service Levels Match Available Storage
Matching application service levels to the available storage is difficult when you must manually choose between different datastores and different storage tiers, especially when the right application service level is not known or changes over its lifecycle. With vSphere Profile-Driven Storage, vSphere administrators can ensure application service levels match the available storage, which limits the ongoing need for monitoring and troubleshooting.
- Use compliance checks to ensure a virtual machine is always on appropriate storage.
- Find non-compliant virtual machines and correct the error via VMware vSphere® Storage vMotion®.
Allocate Storage Without Complex Coordination
Managing storage allocations to support dynamic environments can require extensive coordination between application owners, virtual machine owners and storage administrators, often resulting in downtime for critical applications. Profile-Driven Storage lets storage administrators do their job without causing service interruptions or having to coordinate multiple groups.
- Improve application uptime and business continuity.
- Reduce coordination between administrative groups.
- Reduce effort needed to properly allocate storage.
Technical Details
Dynamic Storage Provisioning
Using Profile-Driven Storage, various storage characteristics, including SLA, availability and performance, can be requested in a virtual machine storage profile. These profiles are used to ensure that only those datastores or datastore clusters that are compliant with the virtual machine storage profile are made available. The virtual machine storage profile can also help select a similar type of datastore when creating a Storage DRS datastore cluster. Profile-Driven Storage will reduce manual administration for virtual machine placement while improving virtual machine SLA storage compliance.
Virtual Machine Compliance Status
Profile-Driven Storage makes it easy to validate virtual machine compliance. vSphere provides a single pane of glass to check compliance of all virtual machines and the associated virtual disks, ensuring that even administrators who don't necessarily have access to all the different layers can validate compliance on the virtual machine summary.
Profile-Driven Storage eliminates the need to maintain complex spreadsheets and validate compliance manually during every migration or virtual machine creation.

Every time you ride a motorcycle, there is a risk of an
injury. That is the nature of riding a vehicle with only 2 wheels. There are no
roofs and doors to cover and protect you from harm. You are vulnerable to bad
weather or accidents when riding a motorcycle.
However, there are safety gear you can wear to protect
yourself from harm. One important safety gear is the helmet. This perhaps is the most common and most
important piece of safety gear you should wear when riding a motorcycle. You
should choose the best motorcycle
helmets that will fit your budget and needs. Check out some motorcycle helmet reviews here
The first thing you have to consider is what type of
helmet you will need. This can be determined by asking yourself several
questions like: what type of motorcycle do you have; where are you going; and
how fast do you drive. If you already know the answers to these questions, then
it's time to choose the helmet that is most suitable for your riding profile.
There are different types of helmets namely Full face,
Modular, 3/4, and 1/2. The given list is arranged from the most protective one
to the least. Keep in mind, however, that that more protection a helmet
provides, the less comfortable it becomes.
If you use your motorcycle for racing or if you're just a
fast driver, you might want to use a full face helmet. This helmet provides
maximum protection. By its name, it's a full sized helmets with chin and jaw
protectors. This type of helmet usually doesn't have movable parts which is
quite uncomfortable to wear. However, maximum protection is guaranteed with
this type of helmet.
The modular type of helmet is one of the more versatile
helmets available. It's one of the best
motorcycle helmets designs created. It's also a full sized helmet but it's
more comfortable to wear because it has movable parts like the eye protector.
The lower part of the helmet is perfectly shaped for the chin and jaw.
The 3/4 type helmet is the most commonly used helmet by
average motorcycle users. Modern 3/4 helmets are considered as some of the best motorcycle helmets in the market
today. Usually, this type of helmet does not have a face protector but modern
3/4 helmets have the option for a pull down face protector. It doesn't have a
chin protector though. This helmet is one of the more comfortable to wear
although it usually costs more because of its complex built and different types
of materials used.
The 1/2 type of helmet offers the least protection of the
4 types but it provides unparalleled comfort. The main purpose of this helm is to
cover the top of your head. It doesn't have an ear protector. It doesn't have a
jaw and chin protector as well. This is good for casual motorcycle ride where a
helmet is required but you want the comfort of not wearing one.
Make sure to choose the right helmet that will fit your
needs and budget. You don't have to go with a full sized helmet if you are just
going to use a scooter. You also do not
want to wear just a 1/2 helmet if you are going to use a big bike on a

It seems he had been carrying heavy loads of responsibilities for other people and had injured his back. Now he was unable even to lift his spirits.
Another man arrived complaining of a sharp pain in both his ears. In fact, there was bleeding. It seems he had been listening to so much slander and negative talk that he had lost the ability to hear anything good about anyone — even about his spiritual family. He had, in fact, become so suspicious and judgmental of others that the blood of Jesus, which covers sins, was exiting his state of mind through his ears.
Following him was a certain man with a terrible eye infection. It was blurring his vision to the point that he could no longer see himself as he truly was. He told the doctor his eye problem had impaired his forward movement.
It seems he thought so much of himself that he was blinded to his own shortcomings. Everything was always about him. He began every sentence with, "I." The shortsighted man could no longer see how humility and a personal interest in others were essential ingredients to having meaningful relationships. Now, whenever he approached anyone, everyone would quickly step away.
In walked another man complaining of chest pains. His heart was hurting so badly that he collapsed in the waiting room. It seems he was having a heart attack! Gasping for air, the man admitted he had been secretly harboring grudges and resentment toward those who had offended him. His refusal to let go of the past and forgive freely from the heart had hardened his heart to the point that it blocked the flow of intense love from circulating throughout his life.
Later, a certain woman entered the doctor's office with such a severe headache that she suspected a brain tumor. It seems she had a problem with the headship arrangement she had agreed to when she married her devout husband. Her problem with submission was causing tremendous head issues and arguments over who made final decisions in their family. No longer content with her role in the marital arrangement, she chose to take the lead, creating a malignant headship problem.
Another woman entered the doctor's office with a terrible boil on her tongue. It was huge, infected and getting worse! It seems she had used her tongue to damage so many of her friends that she could not say a word and be believed anymore. The blister was so bad she could not speak to anyone without causing herself pain! Her gossip had inflicted so much injury to others that she lost her freeness of speech and was now suffering in silence.
The final patient was a man who rushed into the doctor's office with horrible stomach cramps. His intestines were so torn up that he was unable to stand straight. It seems he had been digesting such a regular dose of pornography, profanity and nauseating violence that it was tearing him up inside! It left him too weak to take a stand for what is right. He was losing a taste for the truth.
When anyone irritated him he would instantly get so sick of them that he threw up the most toxic expressions ingested from his entertainment. Losing his appetite for spiritual food and regularly losing his temper, the man lost weight in the sight of everyone who respected him and was losing his relationship with his Maker.
Do you see anyone you know in these settings? It is not uncommon for people to find themselves falling short of the glory of God as Romans 3:23 says. But these seven people had one thing in common. They all sought help. They all recovered because they made it to the doctor, were diagnosed and treated, before their condition proved fatal. Whatever was prescribed, they followed the directions.
Although such spiritual maladies may not be uncommon, if left untreated, would you be surprised if people suffering with these unpleasant qualities became "dead in trespasses" as Ephesians 2:1 says?
How wise it would be to heed the Bible's advice at James 5:14-16: "Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed." — New International Version.
Seeking spiritual help when we are not feeling good about ourselves is a wise course to take. Perhaps we have taken on undue responsibilities that are weighing us down, we may have been careless in our speech, lost our balance in listening to gossip and watching unwholesome entertainment or found ourselves struggling with humility, submission or forgiveness.
Happily, the God of tender mercies arranged for spiritually qualified individuals to assist the weak, to pray with us, asking God Himself to raise us up to a higher quality of spiritual, mental and emotional health. So take advantage of this provision. It all starts by seeking help.

Mint flavor infuses this creamy, easy holiday fudge. If you like, use two cups mint-flavor semisweet chocolate pieces instead of the chocolate pieces and extract.

hi falconfan...haven't we been thru this years ago...........you were anti outing/naming...........well, now you are grown up....
.........brad garret, i'd never have thought...until i saw him in my supermarket last month, and i'm looking like shit these days....he still checked me out...it's that GAY EYE THING...i barely recognized him, though....
i met the beautiful james marsden along time back...he was introduced as a sister.............and he is heaven
my friends here in hollywood, say i think everyone is gay.......................but.........
i was at a gay producers last month for a table read...and next to me, as always, was one of the most informed people in this town.........i mentioned ben affleck and matt damon as lovers...........he said no way...........another pal worked on the new Liberace movie, for showtime........and he burst my bubble when he said matt damon is not gay, at all..............and is a rather sweet,dumb, lump....booo........maybe he was just high every day, to make it thru a pic with michael douglas/ who's late brother was gay/
leonardo is a yes...........i love that hunter parrish is named here, what a dreamfuck...........
actors are not easily labeled, as one way or another...they want attention, and gratification, and someone, anyone to stroke their egos, or.......whatever....
I don't know if this is the right thread for this but here is my story. A few years ago I was a waiter in the Detroit area for a catering company. One night we were catering an affair in Grosse Pointe. There were many sports celebs there, mainly from professional hockey. Towards the end of the party another waiter and I were invited to stay after most of the guests had left. We agreed. Two of the guests were big names in hockey and it seemed we were paired with them. They took each of us into separate bedrooms where we had some serious sex. I can't name the guys but they were hot, hung and very much into plowing us. I had a great time but lost my job and never saw the guys again. It was worth it.

I would love it if Jensen Ackles was gay
What about Lee Pace (Pushing Daisies)?
Hmm...Jamie Bell doesn't strike me as gay; not that I would mind for one second. I don't really care about anyone else mentioned haha.
Oh, and Paul Walker.............

did anyone mention harry styles?
I don't know why people suspect LL Cool J or Channing Tatum..
I personally think Ne-Yo and definitely P Diddy.
Surprised no one has mentioned
Keanu Reeves
Nick Jonas
Barrett Foa
I did. And Louis Tomlinson. But I won't go further, that discussion in the One Direction thread became flat out bullying. You'd think it was a bunch of teenage girls in there...
I've heard things about Zayn Malik too...rumblings from people who went to school with him, saying he was bi. Not as concrete as H or L, but it has come up.
I really can't wait to see, 5 to 10 years from now (as most boy bands don't last too long at the top), the truth that comes out about ID.
Is it fair to class Styles as in the closet, he's never refuted nor confirmed the reports... Louis on the other hand would be too far in the closet it's unreal.
I'm sorry, but you can't really blame Louis for being in the closet. He was basically forced to beard up. Harry was lucky he didn't have to beard up, and god knows management has tried. But for now they're just happy calling him a womanizer and a man whore, and leave it at that. They probably backed down a bit when his own mother threatened to sue them for ruining Harry's image. For example I think Harry is in charge of his own twitter, while it's basically been proved that management has access to Louis' twitter, and god knows what they've tweeted on his behalf. Some of the twitter rants and attacks might not even be him.. it might be management. That said.. I'm pretty sure Louis is gay and his girlfriend is a beard. There's too much weird stuff going on there.
I like Francisco Lachowski, Jon Kortajarena and other male models
I worked on a movie with Johnny Depp in the late 90's. Word on the set was that it was common knowledge that the guy with him was his boyfriend. Never saw the guy in question. Saw Depp a lot while working. Lot of stuff on set about celebs is idle talk, especially from Teamsters, but this was more widespread than usual.
a dear friend of mine worked with johnny depp on many movies...........especially the tim burton ones..............he and johnny were together alot, and he says ,yes.............bi at the very least....he tells a story of a night in johnny's hotel penthouse in las vegas, filled with booze and drugs...................and the best part was that a storm came up , and johnny opened all the sliding glass doors, and let the storm rip apart the hotel penthouse...................my pal is still mum on any action, though...smart boy............don't tell secrets while you are still working in the industry....
on edward scissorhands at fox, johnny was brought into my department.........and was very dreamy.......understated flirty..............of course he wanted something in my department, so his demeanor was correct/ undestood for hollywood.............i gave him many things at fox...and he was very grateful.....he always was close...................and of course i heard from another good friend that johnny liked the boys..................johnny put me on the guest list for his viper room club on sunset, for years...........i never go out, but it was sweet of him....he never made a pass, though...
why aren't we discussing one of the nicest gay man in hollywood, leonardo di caprio...........a total pothead and a dream date...
Yes. I think we're on the same page You're right of course.. Harry hasn't really been lying. He just hasn't told the truth (because he cant.. there's a contract). Anyway.. all of the womanizer stories etc in the papers are bullshit. The man is bisexual. Rumor has it he's leaning more towards men and some people even say that he's gay.. like completely gay. All the womanizer stories in the newspapers are lies. It's not true. And I just laughed when they said Harry has had sex with 410 girls. I'm like.. no he hasn't. That was even too much for Harry. He usually refuses to comment on the rumors, because he knows they're not true.. but this one he did comment on, he said it hurts when they write stuff like that. FFS.. the man is 18! They should lay off him for a bit.
And about Louis.. I really don't know what to say other than he's gay and his girlfriend is a beard. I feel bad for him, I really do. But his twitter still annoys me. Then again.. if what I have read is true, then it's REALLY fucking complicated. And there's a reason he has to come across as an asshole.. it's all about image. It's worse to be gay in a boyband than to come across as an asshole on twitter, it's sad but true. I like Union J so much more.. they're gay friendly and they always tease each other and joke around with their bromances.. one of them is even openly gay. It's a total switch from the closeted One Direction, sigh.
I like Francisco Lachowski, Jon Kortajarena and other male models
semi retired tennis player/model Jan Michael Gambill (still plays World Team Tennis)- he says he's straight....but was seen/photographed on Elton John's party yacht with gay porn stars and having his nipples played with by David- Elton's hubby.....there are NO out male tennis players- past or present...only one known definitley to be was Bill Tilden- back in the 20s. It would be nice if Jan had the guts to publicly say so, tell what it was like to be gay on the male tour, etc.
The thing is, 1D used to be like that, it was only when they got properly signed and management took over completely it changed. Sadly I'll imagine it'd be the same with Union J were they to get signed. (Hopefully not as bad as that actor from Teen Wolf(?) who tried to remove the pictures from existence of him kissing a man.)
I'll imagine it's why the one from Union J came out before getting big, otherwise he'd have ended up closeted.
I don't get a gay vibe from the Bieb at all.
dude really, NJ is a straight boy...his older bros Joe and Kevin on the other hand...
I was thinking about how 1D used to be so touchy-feely with each other and now it's like totally "hands-off"...?!?!
...and the Teen Wolf guy you're thinking of is the ultra sexy Colton Haynes.
"Everyone wants to be adored."
I'm European so I ONLY know this guys from the series "DAMAGES".
He gives me a gay vibe for sure, just his speach and some subtle body language...
Maybe I'll make a fool of myself when it's like common knowledge that he's gay:
I'm talking about
Zachary Booth
ID's management is horrific.
Simon already dropped them from repping anymore X-factor acts...(probably 'cause of so many lawsuits).
Rebecca Fergusun is suing them majorly for working her into the ground, keeping her away from her own damn children, etc. What I've read about her going through is horrific. She's suing the shit out of them.
And there is a whole list, seriously a list, of acts that have not re-signed, left, or sued this management company. Several X-factor contestants have told some pretty bad stories about basically once you sign with that company, you sign your life away. They can do with you as they please.
ID has three more years in their contract with them.
My guess is the Union J guy came out before hand because either he had some good advice, or was just smart, to realize if he didn't do that before they get signed to a major label, once he signed his name on the dotted line, they would have made him do the classic closeting too. (Just after they started getting popular on X-factor, the press was already being fed stories of him hanging at clubs with multiple girls, etc.) They'll still do their best to downplay the whole gay thing.
I remember one of them saying Harry Styles' advice to them was "Don't let them change you...".

Judging From Dillon Casey's Interview About His Same-Sex Sex Scene In Torchwood, He Could Potentially Be Bisexual or Heteroflexible!!!
The Interview
Courtesy/Torchwood Tumblr
I have read several interviews with Torchwood: Miracle Day star, John Barrowman, and he talked about the sex scene with you! Are you aware of this?
I have had some of the interviews by John Barrowman sent to me, and I have read some of them. I find it so funny. First of all, he keeps calling it boysex, which I am going to kill him for! (Laughs) I am a man first of all. (Laughs) It is full on mansex, I guess. Basically, Capt Jack Harkness had a lover who died recently. So, he goes out to a gay bar to let off some steam, and he meets me, the bartender, who is just ready to go, and we hook-up from there.
The word is out on Fridays episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day. It is being hailed as a very racy sex scene between you and John. Would you say it is?
It is definitely very racy, and as racy as it gets. Torchwood; Miracle Day is a very confidential show and very confidential about story. But, I will tell you it is a very explicit.
John Barrowman is very open about his sexuality, which is part of what makes the Torchwood franchise so fascinating dont you think?
The part John plays, Capt. Jack Harkness, is a hero, and on the show he is not a homosexual. The character is an omnisexual. So that means he will have sex with men, women, aliens, and it just doesnt matter. Any person or thing he is attracted to that is also attracted to him, he will have sex with. He is not a slut, but the lines of sexuality have been blurred from the world in which he comes from. John Barrowman is a charming great guy, and he is very open about his sexuality and he made that very clear on set, too! (Laughs) He told me right before they said, action Dillon, just so you know, I might get an erection. And they said, Action. (Laughs) But I guess I took that as a compliment.
He said he was very turned on in the scene!
Its a hot scene!
So, did you have any idea you would be having full on sex when you got the role, or did that come after?
Basically, I got a breakdown for the part. They were looking for a character who was comfortable having intimacy with a man. I thought that meant kissing. So I thought, I am cool with that, no biggie, I can do that. I went in and did the audition and they gave me the part. Later, I went in for the wardrobe fitting and the wardrobe lady said to me, So, we have your nudity waiver you need to sign. And I went, Oh, this is the first I heard of nudity. Why do I have to sign a nudity waiver? And she goes, Well, its for your sex scene with John. So that is the first I heard of the sex scene, and again the scripts are very confidential. But I knew this show was awesome and I wanted to be a part of it. Of course, after I heard of the sex scene, as a straight guy, there was a moment of What have I gotten myself into? But I would have thought that if I had to sign a nudity waiver to do a sex scene with a woman on a show, I would hope it would just be tasteful and not just gratuitous.
I would think it would be the same if you were shooting a sex scene between a man and woman and they yelled, Now get naked Dillon!
There were moments when I was doing MVP where I thought, I hope this is not gratuitous ass shots! With regards to Torchwood, I did think for a bit, Am I just coming on here to do a sex scene? I have never had any contact like that with a man in a sexual way, so the nerves started to hit, but then I thought, What the hell! This is my job. I am an actor. Homosexuality does not bother me, so lets do it, and lets go for it. And right away when I met John, he was an awesome guy. And Russell Davies, the creator of Torchwood: Miracle Day, was an awesome guy. Everybody made me feel really comfortable. It worked out really well.
John had nothing to do with you being selected for the role, or did he?
I think he definitely did.
I think so, too! (Laughs) Was he there when you auditioned?
No, but he told me later he saw my audition tape. I had my clothes on for the interview, by the way! (Laughs)
Have you seen the final edited version of it?
Nope. But I knew where the camera was and what was going on. So I have an idea what it looks like. But, I have been told not only is it sexy, but it is a very beautiful scene.
I was floored yesterday to see the BBC decided to cut the sex scene when they air this episode there, but the US is not cutting it. Usually, its the reverse. I think the US can be behind the rest of the world when it comes to sex scenes on television.
I read an article that said it was one of the raciest sex scenes ever on primetime television. I think it all depends on Torchwood: Miracles Days timeslot in the other markets or countries for who could be watching TV at a certain time. It does not matter its a gay sex scene at all. I think if it was a racy heterosexual sex scene, it would be the same scenario, or at least I would like to think so.
After you finished taping the sex scene, what did John say to you?
It was like, (Laughs) Peace, bro. Good working with you! (Laughs) It really was not awkward after we shot it. I remember we had not talked for a while after the taping, because John is really busy with the show. I finally saw him at the Torchwood: Miracle Day wrap party and I said, Well, you dont call and you dont write! (Laughs) But seriously, I could see how it could be awkward, but John is such a professional and we have the same sense of humor, which is great. I knew right away after talking with John I could trust him in the scene.
Recently you faced, like many before you, a little twitter hiccup that developed when you tweeted something, and then some people were saying you were homophobic!
I made a stupid tweet with just my sort of sense of humor. I now understand that there are some hard-core fans of Torchwood, which is great. And, because of the nature of Capt. Jack Harkness, people can have a political stance on it and have their views. There are also people out there that are looking to get offended, and sometimes have a chip on their shoulder. I guess the tweet offended them. Then, I made that Living in L.A. with Dillon Casey video, which is my satirical video series on FunnyorDie, which should have cleared it up for some people.
Since you are up in Toronto with your family, will they watch you in Torchwood: Miracle Day?
You know what? Now that I know the scene got cut in the UK, I am curious to know if it got cut in Canada. I am not sure if they would show a scene like that. My dad actually kind of wants to see it, but I would not watch it with him. I can tell him the time and the channel. (Laughs)
What about Darren Criss (Glee)??
Do you think he is gay?
The more I see, the more I'm convinced about Tebow...
Richard Armitage as well.
I went to University of florida the same time tebow was there, and I never saw him with guys. he was quite a man whore really. it always really bugged me when he would go on and on about him being a devout christian or whatever and there he was every weekend chasing after the ladies.
Jared Leto
Louis Tomlinson
Justin Timberlake
Wilmer Valderrama
George Clonney
Joe Jonas
Sometimes I think gay/bi men and women are their own worst enemies...particularly with public figures.
It's as if the person is no longer desirable if they're not presumed to be straight...as if people here want their favorite stars to be straight, and actually not like them (us).
I don't understand our (LGBTQ) obsession with worshiping straight people...
Anyways, I digress.
Tebow...yeah, something's there. Can't say for certain, but just...interesting vibes.
There's something about the devout Christianity that is always like the robot going off saying "Danger, Will Robinson". It's so often a major conflict...and yet a convenient cover.
Watch, in about five years he'll be married to a very girly-girl, super devout Christian fundie woman that looks like a beauty queen, with children... they always do.

Janet Jackson has been rumored to be bisexual for years. Allegedly her ex-husband threatened to write a book that would include that information. Then there is the "Tonight is the Night" remake on The Velvet Rope, where she kept the "girl" in the song, instead of changing it to "boy." She admitted to liking gay porn, and then there is that doc on transgendered folks she is working on...

If Richard Simmons is closeted, then his closet is big enough to fit the rest of the planet into with him.

If I were Brian Sabean right now (and you know how I love impersonating Sabes), I am honestly not sure what I would be doing right now.
I think I called the Giants a kaleidoscope kind of team way back when in 2010 but now all I see is a tangled, tangled spiderweb.
Frankly, the whole toxicity-of-Rowand-and-Tejada thing really weirded me out, because the idea for the past few years with this team has been that chemistry is a complete non-issue. I think people start hinting darkly at things like that when the team is doing badly, mostly, but I also think this team isn't exactly the good old brotherhood any more. Some changes may (may? Will.) need to be made and the ownership change only thickens the plot.
So Sabean's first offseason move (oh, less than 48 hours after the Defending World Champions thing vaporized) was to resign Javier Lopez to a two year deal, worth 8.5 million and extend Jeremy Affeldt for one more year.
Interesting, I say, very interesting.
If I had a beard (which I most certainly do not, for the record), I would be stroking it right now. I mean first of all, HE DIGS THE LEFTIES. And second, yeah, he seems serious about the pitching and especially the bullpen. Like, 8.5 million serious. Very serious, that is.
Personally, I like it. Because I specifically like both those guys, but also because I don't think the Giants need a big, attractive move (hello, Prince Fielder). Those never work, except when they do, and anyway we just want a contender, right? If this pitching staff is set right and Aubrey Huff develops a tendency to hit balls, that could contend right there. So I think sticking to the core is a smarter way to go and this makes me feel, perhaps incorrectly, but still, that Sabes might agree with me.
Or I might agree with Sabes. But I prefer the former. You know.

Refusals of Medical Aid in the Prehospital Setting
Rachel Waldron, M.D., Cherie Finalle, M.D., Deborah Mogelof, M.D.
Background: When an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) responds to a call, the patient may choose to refuse medical attention (RMA). In order to decrease RMA's, we must first understand more about them.
Objective: Our research examined the characteristics of both patients and EMTs who are involved in RMA's. As well, we studied the timing of RMA's both by shift and within an individual shift.
Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of all patient charts in which the patient RMA'd for the time period 8/1/05 through 7/31/06, a one-year period. These patients were then compared to a control set of patients that was created by reviewing every chart in a 24- hour period for ten randomly selected days within the same one-year period. The data was obtained from the patient care reports (PCR's) which are scanned by NYHQ EMT's into HealthEMS database. Data analysis was performed using SAS 9.1 for Windows.
Results: The RMA data set had a total of 238 patients, 58% female and 42% male, with a mean age of 56. The control data set had a total of 303 patients, 53% female and 47% male, with a mean age of 53. There was no difference in the sex distribution between the RMA and control groups (Pr <= 0.2965.) There was also no difference in average age of the RMA and control patients on the day and evening shifts (Pr 0.1764 & 0.0711). However, on the night shift the patients in the RMA group were significantly younger – mean age of 47 in the research group versus 55 in the control group (Pr 0.0160).
The EMT teams in the RMA set were 0.42% female/female,7.14% mixed, and 92.44% male/male. The EMT teams in the control set were 4.62% female/female, 34.65% mixed, and 60.73% male/male. The higher percentage of males EMT's in the RMA set achieved statistical significance (P < 0.0001). The sex of the EMT team versus the sex of the patient had no effect on increasing RMA's. (P 0.9936)
The patient's chief complaint was significantly different in the RMA versus control groups. The RMA group had more neurological, psychiatric, and social chief complaints. (P< 0.0001) This difference holds true for both day and evening shifts (Chi-Square 0.0003, 0.0001), however on nights is not significant (Chi-Square 0.0812).
In the RMA group, the shifts were 35.71% day, 41.6% evening, and 22.69% night. In the control group, the shifts were 51% day, 30.03 % evening, and 18.48% night. RMA's were more common on the evening and night shifts (Chi-Square 0.0011). The calls were also broken down as to whether occurring in the first two hours of the shift, the middle four, or the last two hours. There was no difference in the frequency of RMA's based on the timing within the shift. (P 0.5488)
Conclusions: The call most likely to generate an RMA contains the following set of characteristics: a younger patient with a chief complaint falling out of the usual medical categories like trauma or cardiac, two male EMT's on the team, and an evening or night shift. The commonly held perception that RMA's are more common at the end of a shift (to avoid working overtime) was proven to be untrue.

Pacsafe Slingsafe 250 GII Handbag
Great LITTLE Bag
I bought this little bag over a month ago in Cypress Green. I love a small bag at times and thought this would fit the bill. It's wonderful. The only problem I have with it is what they call the "origami styling." Unfortunately, those lopped off corners in a bag this small make the usable space really tiny. I can get a very small wallet, car key, lip gloss and a couple of tissues inside the main compartment. My phone goes in the outside zipper compartment. And that's it. No sunglasses or anything else will fit. However, that's enough for me at times (although I would like my glasses with me) and because I can put it across my body very comfortably it's so convenient. My hands are free to do other things and my pockets are not stuffed and bulging. I can't get a passport in it which is unfortunate because this would be so wonderful for travel if it was just that much bigger. The green is a wonderfully neutral color without being the same boring black and brown I normally carry. I have about ten PacSafe bags and this one is a favorite.

Best Handbag
After a shoulder injury, I needed a handbag that was comfortable to use yet able to hold the various items I need to carry. Something like a fanny pack but with some style. This handbag does both and it is very attractive.

Great bag
This is my second bag like this. Bought the first one a few years ago and it won't wear out! So I got a different color this time, just for a change of pace. The adjustable strap lets you wear it across the body, which I frequently do. You can also disconnect to wrap around a shopping cart handle or chair back so it can't be snatched. Holds a lot of stuff, too. I love this bag and take it everywhere.

Great Travel Purse
I bought this bag in light green last yr.for a 3-month trip to Australia. It performed well. Very comfortable cross body bag leaving hands free if you like. Liked the RFID feature for credit cards. It was roomy enough for all of my essentials including cell phone. Liked everything about it except the light green showed the soil on the body of the bag in oval areas where the wiring ran on the inside of the bag. I did wash the bag, but not all came out. I used it again this winter for our 3-month trip and it got even dirtier. Just ordered the same bag in black for future trips, which I am hoping will solve the problem of the oval wire dirt marks. I wouldn't have ordered a second bag if I hadn't liked it so much. The light color just showed the soiling too much.

Very handy little bag
Bought this bag to use on a resort/beach vacation near Playa del Carmen. Despite it's small size, it holds quite a bit and I felt my valuables, credit cards and money were secure when I carried it into town. Very lightweight while holding all you need. Love it.
April 24, 2013
Love this bag!!!!
I waited a few months before reviewing this purchase and I have been very pleased with one exception which will be explained later. If I could give four and a half stars, I would. This carries quite a lot which follows: inside pockets: cell phone, my palm pilot, lipsticks, pens, lip gloss, extra cell phone battery and cuticle treatment stick. The main part of the bag also holds two check books, 2 Rx bottles, coin purse for change, a credit card holder with 12 pockets, a RFID credit card holder and a large eyeglass cleaner the same size as a checkbook. The smaller outside zippered area is for my eye glasses which I change out with my sun glasses. The only drawback is when zipping or unzipping the large compartment you have to be very careful as the zipper can catch the beautiful apricot colored lining and I've done this 3 times. I have to really work gently to get it to release as I am afraid that it will tear the lining. I've been lucky so far so now I am more careful. I purchased the green bag and I love the color as well. I can also use this as a fannypack. Can't say enough about the quality of this bag. The safety features are absolutely wonderful. I will feel quite safe and secure on my trip this September to Italy.
May 26, 2012
Super travel purse!
Large enough to hold all the necessary items, and with RIF protection, it's perfect for dropping inside a larger "carryon" personal item, too. Nice color (I chose the light green). I'm finding I like carrying it at home, too, so may have to buy another to switch off colors.
May 6, 2014
greayt purchase
this bag was bigger than i thought it would be, but it worked out great for travel, which is why i bought it. It is very lightweight, even with a lot of items in it. It holds a lot more than you would think. The strap is nice and wide and does not slip off your shoulder. I am glad that I had it on my trip. It proved to be a great purchase,

Windows Update crashed my computer need help please
I am writing this windows safe mode.
Cannot get computer to boot in reg mode. Sat for 40 minutes, with message "please wait while windows configures" Am running windows 7, 64 bit home, Dell Inspiron 570 It started yesterday when it downloaded updates for Windows. After the restart, the computer screen looked strange and could not open any programs. Went to "start" and re-booted, same thing happened again. I again went to start, this time it came up with 2 errors. (wish I had wrote them down) but said something about windows cannot find such and such. (sorry) Anyway, clicked on the "X" and windows came up again, but nothing would open. Had to hard boot as the start button would not even work. Rebooted into safe mode and have tried to return to a previous restore point. Seems I don't have any. So can't do that. I did go go to the recent installed windows updates and deleted them. But will not let me change the settings as in: Don't install updates automatically. I don't know if it is trying to install those over and over again. I tried to get it to come up again with the errors, but no such luck, it just sits with the blue welcome screen, then the "please wait" I am at a loss as to what to do next. I have my operating system disk and my recovery disk. Thanks, Jennifer |

You may try one thing, if you can remind on which date that update took place.
Click on the start button > Control Panel > Programs and Features. . In the resulting window, look at the left side pane, click on "view installed updates" In the resulting window, search for the update's date, under "Microsoft Windows" When got it, Select it, right click on it, and uninstall. Remember that all updates cannot be uninstalled. When uninstalled, restart your computer. Let us know the result. |

One of the first things I did after getting into safe mode, was to uninstall the 3 updates for yesterday, which is when it started.
So far, still cannot get into windows normally. Can in safe mode. Jennifer |

Thank you for your help, the only thing that I am sure about is what caused the crash. It was trying to restart after downloading 3 windows updates.
Nothing I have tried so far has worked. When doing some research, I found things that would cause this such as a video card? Is this possible? I also tried to run on my "repair windows 7 disk" that did nothing. Said it was loading files, and then back to black screen. Waited for 30 minutes and then normal windows came up with the following Location is not available. c\windows\sstem 32\config\sstem pofile\desktop refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a harddrive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure the disk is properly inserted or that you are connected to the internet or your network and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location. (hit okay) When I try to click on any program.... I get the error: Fail to connect. The server process cold not be started because the configured identity is incorrect. Check the user name and password. I can see the recycle bin, time and date. All black screen. I can see the start button and will only let me shutdown. If I try to hit any other button on my desktop, I get this: Error: 26EE0668-A00A-4407-9371-BEB064C98683 \0\ 05D7B0F4 2121 4EFF BF6BED3F69B894D9 I loaded my repair disk that I made when I got the computer and get this error: 0x4001100200001012 I am running AVG Full as my virus program.

Do you have another machine available to you? if so I would use that.
F12 on a dell will give you the boot menu, one option is the dell diagnostics. Error code 0142 on a Dell is a failing hard drive. At this point back up whatever you can and use dell's website to see if your PC is still under warranty. You can also call and use your express service code (all numbers so it can be used via touch tone phone) to see if you are under warranty. If you are not under warranty I would suggest a couple things. Either bring it to a repair shop where they can clone your system to a new drive and repair or do the procedure yourself. I do at least 4 of these a week and they range from difficult to VERY easy. Depending on how bad the drive is you can actually repair windows 7, just make sure you use the correct disk, ie. you have win7 pro sp1, make sure the disk is the same. Windows 7 can only be repaired if you can boot to it (they call it an upgrade for some reason). After cloning I would suggest a check disk (chdsk /r) be run to ensure consistency on the new drive, then perform a repair. Xp was the best for repair, to bad they dropped that... |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] RUSSIA/GERMANY/NORWAY/EGYPT/UZBEKISTAN/AFRICA - Expert hails "balanced" Uzbek policy, dismisses possibility of unrest

Uzbekistan is not going to face any major upheavals as the country's
leadership has been pursuing "a balanced policy aimed at containing and
preventing all negative factors", Uzbek political scientist Botir
Habibullayev has said. In a lengthy interview, the pundit dismissed
predictions that the Central Asian nation was the next in line to
witness popular uprisings inspired by the Arab Spring, saying that the
country's population had developed "a type of distinctive behaviour
immune to all sorts of external ploys". Habibullayev also said that the
Uzbek opposition in exile was incapable of influencing the situation in
the country as it faced division over disagreements about financial
flows. The following is an excerpt from the interview posted on the
website of the Russian internet news agency Regnum, specializing in
regional reporting, on 9 December; subheadings have been inserted
The outgoing year on our planet has been abundant in political
[Passage omitted: the author cites the political turmoil and changes in
the Arab world]
Almost immediately, some political analysts have begun projecting these
developments [in Arab nations] on Central Asia, arguing that such a
scenario may well be repeated in each of the countries of the region. At
the same time, a considerable part of them pointed at Uzbekistan as
being one of the most probable states in this respect. Nevertheless,
these types of prognoses not only have materialized, but there have even
been no hint of destabilization of the political and social situation in
the republic.
A Regnum news agency correspondent has spoken to Uzbek political
scientist Botir Habibullayev about the insolvency of such
"ventriloquism", as well as about how the situation might develop in
Uzbekistan in the near future in this respect.
Regnum news agency: This year countries of the Arab world have become a
catalyst of quite serious changes, which ultimately will definitely
affect their domestic as well foreign policy approaches. There has been
a lot of talk about the subject, in which parallels were drawn with
Uzbekistan. How well-grounded these types of prognoses do you think are?
[Botir Habibullayev] Let us, first of all, pay attention to the very
nature of how these developments have come about. By now it has become
obvious that these were not some sorts of social upheavals. These were
the actions started up by a group of people pursuing certain interests
and objectives. In this context, we are talking about religious and
extremist organizations, which directed their attention to the greater
Middle East and North Africa. According to their calculations, it is
here that a new base, an outpost of Islamic extremism should begin to be
[Passage omitted: the political scientist says Egypt's Muslim
Brotherhood is considered a terrorist organization in many countries and
lists a number of assassinations and terrorist attacks allegedly carried
out by this group]
Arab spring scenario not possible in Uzbekistan
As for the population of Uzbekistan, I think that the existing state of
stability in the country, the public welfare system, a balanced policy
aimed at containing and preventing all negative factors, have done their
job. This is no longer the Uzbekistan of 1990s as the population has
already developed - if you will - a type of distinctive behaviour which
is immune to all sorts of external ploys. We aim for creation and not
for destruction. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to be talking
about the Arab events repeating themselves here.
Regnum news agency: But let us not deny that at times Uzbekistan, too,
turns into a point of tension [ellipsis as published]
[Botir Habibullayev] I agree, but still I ought to underline that each
and every destructive attempt takes root not inside the country but its
roots are hidden outside of it. Currently there are a large number of
criminals living abroad. They had left the country some time ago and
today they have been making attempts to muddy the clean waters from
there. But due to the reasons I have already highlighted, such attempts
are doomed to failure.
Regnum news agency: But to be more specific; who would benefit from
unstable and weak Uzbekistan today?
Uzbek opposition said split over differences
[Botir Habibullayev] There are many of them. But among them, there are,
so to speak, iconic figures; iconic in a sense that any of their
appearances means one thing only - a desire to cause disorder in
Uzbekistan and to plunge it into an abyss of chaos, bloodshed and tears.
The latest formation of this type is the so-called People's Movement of
Uzbekistan (PMU), which was established in the West by infamous Salay
Madaminov and the Tayanch organization with the use of money from
western institutions. Until very recently, members of the Akramiya
terrorist organization, which in 2005 organized bloody disorders in
Andijon, were a part of the PMU as well. Nowadays Akramiya members have
split off from the PMU due to a very banal reason - that is because of
financial disagreements. And there is no talk of ideological motivation
whatsoever - it is all just about money.
Another significant point in this situation is that [Uzbek opposition
leader in exile Muhammad] Solih's group does not evoke the trust of even
those who call themselves opposition, too. Such an attitude can be
explained by suspiciousness of the ideas, as well as by the
indistinctness of PMU functionaries themselves, whose slogans are
reduced to the formation of a Shari'ah-based state in Uzbekistan.
Obviously, such a situation does not suit, so to speak, the secular
opposition, which advocates democracy and human rights.
For instance, the president of Uzbekistan's human rights society,
Abdujalil Boymatov, claims that Muhammad Solih is not a democratic
leader. Boymatov is also concerned about the fact that the backbone of
the association is made up of Islamic organizations, nurturing plans on
an Islamic state in Uzbekistan.
The leader of the Birdamlik [Solidarity] movement, Bahodir Choriyev, is
also of a similar opinion. In his view, there are a lot of
contradictions within the PMU. Furthermore, Birdamlik insists on
conducting non-violent struggle for its rights within the framework of
the law. The "Zealous Women Club" club headed by human rights campaigner
Motabar Tojiboyeva, also did not wish to soil itself through association
with the PMU.
[Passage omitted: the author accuses Uzbek opposition leader Muhammad
Solih (Salay Madaminov) of masterminding the 1999 terrorist acts in
The notorious Tayanch organization, too, is hardly made up of saints.
Active member of the organization, Muhammadsolih Abutov, is wanted in
Uzbekistan for being an initiator, ideological inspirer of attempts to
carry out terrorist acts at the German base in Termiz, of which, by the
way, Germany is aware. At the same time, we cannot but recall how the
current ardent democrat from Tayanch, Muhammadsolih Abutov, who while
being a member of the religious and extremist group, used to publicly
argue that "democracy is the religion of infidels".
[Passage omitted: the pundit lists a number of other individuals who he
says were behind some other terrorist acts in the country in the past]
Regnum news agency: According to what you have said, today the West, a
number of European nations, have been fostering terrorists who are
nurturing destructive plans against Uzbekistan. But one way or the
other, they [Uzbek opposition members] still have managed to obtain a
refugee status there [ellipsis as published]
[Botir Habibullayev] I am not inclined to state that this is being done
intentionally. It seems that this is due to something different: it is
down to the way of thinking and behaviour.
European asylum system criticized
The civilized West basically takes for granted whatever those who are
keen to obtain a refugee status say. In many European nations it is
simply enough to apply with a relevant statement about alleged
persecution for religious beliefs in the motherland and with the lapse
of a certain amount of time a former extremist becomes a legitimate
refugee. And nobody bothers to check the true motives that forced a
person to leave his or her family or home, nobody even bothers to send
an inquiry to the law-enforcement agencies in order to find out whether
or not they are about to provide shelter to an inveterate criminal.
Most of the criminals abuse this scheme, claiming that they are
persecuted in Uzbekistan on religious grounds. But, excuse me, it is
enough just to visit Uzbekistan once to see that hundreds of mosques
have been built in the country and they never remain empty. So the
question arises: are all these faithful Muslims being persecuted by the
state? Furthermore, several religious higher education establishments
have been opened and are successfully functioning in the country, in
which young citizens of the country receive religious education. What
kind of religious persecution one can be talking about here?
In relation to European nations, I can point out another thing. I am
more than convinced that no-one there intentionally provides shelter to
extremists from Uzbekistan. Currently, one may observe a trend whereby
the law-enforcement agencies have started to show interest in such
"refugees". And that is the right thing to do. As practice shows,
including the experience with the same Madaminov, Abutov, Nazarov and
the like, give the wolf the best food, but he would hanker for the wood.
Europe said to face major terror threat
Regnum news agency: What awaits Uzbekistan in the future anyway?
[Botir Habibullayev] I can say for sure that work to fight terrorism in
all of its manifestations is going to be continued in the country. They
will not be allowed to establish themselves here, nor it will be made
possible for them to implement the plans being masterminded somewhere
outside the country on reshaping the republic and the Central Asian
region as a whole.
It is understandable that they are going to have another bridgehead to
work off the funding. And in this respect, I would be the last person to
be willing to envy Europe, which today resembles a pot, into which
scorpions, poisonous spiders, snakes etc. have been thrown and where
nobody would venture to put his or her hand in. I am afraid that
terrorist acts are very soon going to be carried out in Europe itself
and they will be perpetrated by the very same "refugees".
And the incident involving plans to perpetrate a series of terrorist
acts in northern Europe with the participation of a "refugee" from
Uzbekistan is a vivid example of that.
I must note that one of the three men, suspected by the Norwegian
law-enforcement agencies of having links to Al-Qa'idah and who planned
to carry out a series of terrorist act in Norway, was Alisher
Abdulloyev, a native of Uzbekistan, who came to Europe as a refugee in

The AD8322 is a low cost digitally controlled variable gain amplifier optimized for coaxial line driving applications such as cable modems that are designed to the MCNS-DOCSIS upstream standard. A 8-bit serial word determines the desired output gain over a 42 dB range resulting in gain changes of 6 dB/LSB.
The AD8322 comprises a digitally controlled variable attenuator of 0 dB to -42 dB, which is preceded by a low noise, fixed gain buffer and is followed by a low distortion high power amplifier. When used in a DOCSIS modem application the AD8322 works with the attenuator available on some demodulators to support the 50 dB range required by DOCSIS. The AD8322 accepts a differential or single-ended input signal. The output is specified for driving a 75 Ohm load, such as coaxial cable, although the AD8322 is capable of driving other loads.
An evaluation board is available for this product and may be ordered using the following product number AD8322-EVAL.

You will be a short walk away from all of the resort's luxurious features, their infinity pool, two restaurants, beach dining, day spa, internet, reef & snorkelling equipment and sun-bathing pavilions to name a few.
Now, if waking up in heaven every morning wasn't quite enough, you and your other half will have a beach massage to look forward to, provided by Breakas very own onsite Spa. Then, once your appetite has been inspired by one of their restaurant's sublime Melanesian meals, you can get stuck into a 1 hour Melanesian cooking class for two – just to make sure you will have a little something to remember your trip by. Sun bathing, tranquil sea, white sand and a soft, warm breeze – perfection.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.
