China hotels
Hotels in China have come a long way since the days when musty "friendship hotels" were, for foreigners, the only places to stay. Today, no place on earth is building hotels at the same speed as China. This frenetic expansion is increasing the range and quality of accommodations both for international business and leisure travelers and for China's fast-growing domestic travel market. Shanghai and Beijing have the most advanced hotel scenes in mainland China, with most of the international luxury chains represented (or on their way). There is also an emerging focus in those cities on design-led independent properties, such as Hotel Côté Cour S.L. and Commune. Shanghai is home to one of the highest hotels in the world (the Grand Hyatt Shanghai) and also plans to build the lowest, a luxury underground property in a former quarry, slated to open in 2010. Some of the best hotels in China are beyond the mainland, in Hong Kong and, increasingly, in its fellow Special Administrative Region, Macau. The latter is making waves with its enormous casino resorts, which aim to attract meetings and conventions, as well as the growing number of gambling-crazed Chinese. China is also developing some fine resort hotels, particularly on the island of Hainan. Cities adjacent to natural and historical attractions, such as Hangzhou, Suzhou, Lijiang, and Nanjing, are also welcoming international resort operators, and luxury hotels are springing up in previously neglected areas, such as the northern ski fields near Yabuli, and at the foot of the Great Wall.
Chinese officials have been planning a hotel in this former Imperial retreat on the outskirts of Beijing for nearly 20 years. The Aman signed up only three...more

Anxiety is contagious.

Here's the thing about shame: it binds you, enslaves you, restricts you, limits you, and robs you of the capacity to either imagine or to act. Shame makes believing the gospel impossible and forces us into patterns of behavior that are decidedly un-Christlike.
Shame is that terrible gut-wrenching unchosen feeling that erupts when we feel unworthy, broken, tainted, less-than, or fallen because of something we experience. Our face turns red hot, our stomach churns, we physically or spacially try to shrink. Shame erupts for dozens of reasons (failure, perception of non-compliance, abuse, comparing ourselves, personal weight or looks, etc…), and is deeply tied to our social relationships.

We are all 21 in my apartment now and we finally put a table together. Now we cant decide on a theme to decorate the table. I wanted to choose 3 super villains I thought represented us. My other friend want a pokemon themed table and like my idea of picking something that represented us but also wanted things to represent our group of friends so he went though and picked certain pokemon that he felt reflected us. Our other friend wanted a Hitler themed table. Some of our friends gave some less then interesting ideas.
I I want a more of a science fiction theme, one friend wants something unique and from his childhood , and the other wants something that will look nice to our guest. But we struggle with the fact that we dont all like the same stuff with and the stuff we do enjoy we dont enjoy equally. ie: I never got into the pokemon thing so im sorta against that. two of us dont really like the Nazi theme even though we agree its a bit funny, two of us dont want anything stupid like President Lincoln fighting a polar bear
When I look online i dont get any awesome ideas so i figured i'd pic our community's mind on the subject.
We are in desperate need of some out-of-the-box ideas

You've got to love those Washington Post folks. They continuously use both their news and editorial sections to push for cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and disability insurance, running roughshod over journalistic standards and data. But when it comes to the Wall Street boys, they just can't help but to tear at our heart strings.
Last week the Post ran an editorial bemoaning the "political persecution" of J.P. Morgan. It complained that the government was pursuing a civil case against J.P. Morgan for misrepresenting mortgage backed securities it sold to investors during the housing bubble years:
"Yet roughly 70 percent of the securities at issue were concocted not by JPMorgan but by two institutions, Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual, that it acquired in 2008."
There are two points worth making on this. First, if 70 percent of the securities came from Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual, then 30 percent came from J.P. Morgan. This means that it could have been involved in misrepresenting tens of billions of dollars in mortgage backed securities sold to investors. We have young men sitting in jail for stealing cars worth a few thousand dollars, but the Post thinks that Wall Street bankers should get a pass on fraudulently passing off tens of billions in bad mortgage backed securities.
The other point is that executives of large corporations like J.P. Morgan are supposed to understand that when they take over a company it can involve both upside and downside risks. On the upside, the company may have product lines or assets that the buyer did not fully appreciate at the time of the acquisition. On the downside, it may have liabilities such as the legal issues being raised in the Justice Department suit.
Believers in free markets would expect that a CEO like J.P. Morgan's Jamie Dimon understood such risks at the time he chose to buy up Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual. However the Post apparently feels that he and his bank need a special hand from the government to change the terms of the deal after the fact and release J.P. Morgan from the billions of dollars of liabilities they inherited when they bought the banks. Their concern for the desperate plight of the Wall Street bankers is touching, but those of us who believe in free markets must insist on contracts being respected and laws being enforced.
It is worth noting that J.P. Morgan apparently disagreed with the Post and thought that the government had a pretty good case since it settled for $13 billion.

Anything cyclical. If your freestyling, you rap in a cypher (one after the other). Interrupting another man will break that cypher (unless he's next in line and the dude behind him is falling off). The same concept applies to burning; there is a set order to who hits next (pass it to the left my friends). Never break the damn cipher

Brown chicken, onion, and garlic in oil (or water). Add beans, broth, chilies, and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove and stir in sour cream and cream. (I add jalapeno juice to taste, at least a couple of tablespoons…it will get hotter as it sits a while, but not much).I always double this recipe which is great for a 6 quart crock-pot to take to a Chili Cook-off!

Less than 24 hours before President Obama's 2013 budget is delivered to Congress, White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew aimed to pre-empt the inevitable onslaught of criticism Sunday, defending the budget's $1.3 trillion in additional deficit spending and $1.5 trillion in added tax revenue.
"We have tax cuts that go to people who don't need them," Lew told me on "This Week." "We have tax cuts going to the wealthiest people in America who are going to have to pay their fair share."
Similar to his 2012 budget, the president's 2013 budget calls for a minimum tax rate of 30 percent for millionaires and ends the Bush tax cuts for high-income earners.
Lew said that for every dollar of revenue, the budget includes $2.50 in spending cuts, including cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, agriculture subsidies and federal civilian workers' pensions. Over the next decade, Lew said, the president's proposal will reduce spending so it will no longer add to the deficit and will create stability in the economy.
But despite the cuts, the president's budget would mark the fourth straight year deficit spending that exceeds $1 trillion. The deficit spending comes after Obama pledged upon taking office in 2009 that he would "cut the deficit we inherited by half by the end of my first term in office."
Lew defended that failed pledge on Sunday.
"When we took office, the economy was falling so fast that the first thing we had to do was put a bottom in," Lew said. "That cost money in the Recovery Act. It cost money in terms of lost revenue and slower economic growth. We're on track now. We've seen several months of sustained economic growth and job creation, but we're not out of the woods yet."
Lew said the "American people should be pleased" with the recent uptick in the economy, but emphasized that the slow recovery is still in need of an "extra push," which Lew said should come in the form of a payroll tax holiday extension.
The tax cut extension is currently stalled in a conference committee as the House and Senate seek to reconcile how to pay for extension. Lew called on Congress to "finish their work" and pass the payroll tax cut "on time."
House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said he believes the tax cut will be extended but blamed Obama and Democratic Party leaders for the delay, saying they are "not engaging" in compromise conversations.
"We've taken provisions from the president's own budget as ways of paying for this payroll tax holiday, yet they continue to insist on not agreeing to those kinds of things," Ryan said in an exclusive interview on "This Week." "It's difficult to see exactly how this is going to pan out."
Ryan said the American people would recognize that the House is acting while the Senate is stalling such legislation. Thus, he said, he is not concerned that Congress' dismally low 10 percent approval rating would result in Republicans losing control of the House in the 2012 election.
"There's a very big difference between all the action to deal with our country's big problems in the House and just the total inaction by the Senate," Ryan said. "The House is acting and the Senate is sitting on their hands playing partisan politics."
Lew defended the Senate, pointing out that the upper chamber has to get 60 votes in order to pass a budget, a feat he said was a "challenge" when there is "no willingness to work together."

HIS 306N • Race/Slavery in the English Atlantic-W
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
39320 |
Course Description
We will explore the development of race-based slavery in Britain's North American and Caribbean colonies during the Eighteenth Century paying particular attention to the variety of forms that slavery took different places and to the ways that the enslaved responded to the oppressive conditions that they found in the Americas. We will then discuss the emergence of slavery as a "peculiarly" southern institution in the wake of the American Revolution and compare the demise of slavery in the British Caribbean and the United States.
The class will meet twice a week. During the first weekly meetings, we will discuss scholarly articles and/or books that analyze different aspects of the history of race and slavery. During the second weekly meetings, we will either discuss primary sources that shed light on issues discussed in assigned scholarly writing, or I will hold individual meetings with class members to discuss writing assignments.
Grading Policy
Students will be expected to write two short (3-5 pp.) papers during the course of the semester and one slightly longer (10 pp.) paper at the end. The first short paper will count 15% of the semester grade; the second short paper will count 20%; the final paper will count 40%; attendance and participation will count 25%.
Reading assignments will be drawn from some of the following texts: Betty Wood, Slavery in Colonial America Mark Smith, ed., Stono: Documenting and Interpreting a Southern Slave Revolt Gary Nash, The Forgotten Fifth: African Americans in the Age of Revolution Peter Kolchin, American Slavery Walter Johnson, Soul by Soul Frederick Douglass, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave William W.

Wigan join Bolton and Stoke in chase to land Leeds star Bradley Johnson
Wigan have joined the chase for transfer-listed Leeds star Bradley Johnson. The 23-year-old is on the transfer list at Leeds after failing to agree a new deal at Elland Road and has attracted attention from Bolton and Stoke. Heading off: Wigan, Stoke and Bolton are all keen on Johnson Johnson's contract expires at the end of the season and Leeds are prepared to sell him in January rather than risk losing him for nothing at the end of the season. Meanwhile, Leeds have taken Jamaica international Jason Morrison on trial.

Minutes before Higgins sets off for the first stage (the sixty-five rally cars are released in one-minute intervals based on their speed factor), we point our convertibles east of Lewiston. The afternoon is now more pleasant because the sun shines through fewer clouds before warming our backs. It's conceivable that an actual owner of a luxury convertible might even lower the top in such conditions. Maybe.
Sno*Drift PR guy Alex Berger, driving a new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, leads our train to "The Ranch," an isolated section of Stage 2, deep in the thick Michigan forest, where we can park our stylish ragtops within sight of the race course, position ourselves safely behind trees, and watch the rally cars whiz by up close. Before long, Higgins's Subaru flies by, power-sliding through most of the U-shaped section that we can see. A few cars later, though, the ice has been chewed up and flung off the road, leaving the slower race cars to claw through the slushy mud as best they can.
We get our first taste of an official spectator area on Stage 9. Just before 9 p.m., cars begin blasting down a hill and into a tight left-hander, light bars blazing. Drinking and driving are a terrible combination, obviously. Drinking and watching racing, however, go together like thermal underwear and warm gloves, as proven for decades by fans at Le Mans, Talladega, Indianapolis, and everywhere in between. Add Montmorency County to that list.
Among the thousands of visiting spectators are ten of my best friends, first-time Sno*Drifters who traveled from as far away as San Diego and Omaha for an annual pilgrimage to drink beer in the snow; eat chili, Slim Jims, and bland goulash; and play euchre. By the time the racing started today at about 2:30 p.m., they were too soused to drive from their own rented party pad to any of the spectator points. Lucky for them, I'm sober and I'm a nice guy -- despite the fact that they've already polished off the chili they promised to share with the Automobile Magazine team -- so I "upgrade" from the Audi to the magazine's eight-passenger Four Seasons Honda Odyssey, which is on hand as a support vehicle, and chauffeur some of them to the racing action.
We can only hope that the group of boisterous Lithuanian rally fans (visiting from Chicago, no less) we meet at the dark spectator spot have a sober friend to drive them around. Between pulls from a bottle of Andre champagne, the biggest, drunkest one of the bunch randomly tries to pick a fight with road test editor Christopher Nelson. Then he requests that the magazine sponsor his own (alleged) rally car. Then he abruptly passes out while standing, toppling with the sound and force of a huge falling oak tree.
The rest of the crowd is more tame, although they cheer loudest for the half dozen or so cars that spin out right in front of us (all recover and continue down the road -- saplings and snow banks are very forgiving). On the way back to my buddies' lodge in the Odyssey, the five of us start laying plans to return for Sno*Drift 2013.
The next morning, a few inches of fresh snow covers the roads. While our newest rally heroes begin day two of Sno*Drift, we return to Winding Road to emulate them in our own turbocharged, all-wheel-drive cars. Even through winter gloves, layers of quilted Carhartt outerwear, and clunky boots, we can tell that the BMW is the quickest of our three cars on the slippery stuff. Its predictable power transfer, crisp steering, and superb balance make it easily driftable and lots of fun. The Bimmer accelerates with astounding thrust on the icy two-lane, with great assistance from its Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D tires, a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8, and a quick eight-speed automatic transmission. "This car leaps forward with just as much bravado as the Bentley," notes Nelson. "There's remarkably little lag. Zero to 60 mph? Who cares? You'll see triple digits in the head-up display faster than you can say 'wind burn.' "
The $57,750 Audi A5 shares its eight-speed ZF automatic transmission with the BMW and its four-cylinder engine configuration with the majority of Sno*Drift participants. Its turbocharged 2.0-liter is a great engine, but 211 hp just can't compare with the BMW's 400 hp and the Bentley 6.0-liter twelve-cylinder's 567 stampeding ponies. Fortunately, only the lack of power holds back the Audi from being just as fun and capable as the 6-series on this road. The steering is firm and direct (although its wheel is the only one that's not heated), Quattro all-wheel drive loves sending power rearward to help the A5 rotate and maintain slides, and the transmission delights in keeping the four-banger boiling. And even though the engine is moving half a ton more car than when it's bolted to a Volkswagen GTI, the 4000-pound A5 still weighs 600 pounds less than the BMW, so it's very nimble. "Reduce weight, increase sportiness -- it never fails," said deputy editor Joe DeMatio. "The Audi handles like a Mazda Miata compared with the other two cars," Nelson agrees. The A5 isn't so anxious, however, to slow down on this skating rink of a road. Fortunately, we're able to stop in time to watch a herd of elk plod across the road.
The Bentley Continental GTC has brake rotors as big as dinner plates but is also reluctant to scrub off speed. Blame the Pirelli Winter Sottozero tires fitted to both it and the Audi; fortunately, poor braking grip is the only complaint we have about the Pirellis. The Bentley weighs almost 1500 pounds more than the Audi, so it's also the least playful car in these conditions, its nearly three-ton mass making it difficult to get sideways and its 516 lb-ft of torque making it tricky to maintain a drift without causing the stability control (set to dynamic mode) to step in. It is possible to dance with the GTC, but it would rather run, as I learned on our trip north when DeMatio sonorously blasted past the A5 at triple digits as we crossed the wide, high, and long Zilwaukee Bridge on I-75 near Saginaw.
"The power delivery from the twin-turbo W-12 is amazing in its effortlessness," DeMatio affirmed. "There's only a six-speed automatic, but I don't care. There's so much torque available, accessible at any speed, with a simple press of your right foot. On two-lane roads the Bentley can't hide its weight, yet it's pretty darn agile all the same. What it does best, of course, is go fast, look rich, and make both its occupants and onlookers feel good."
The Bentley's lofty $234,127 price may be similar to the value of a 2500-square-foot waterfront home with a three-car garage in Montmorency County, but the high tariff seems somewhat more acceptable when you consider how much prestige the GTC offers and how luscious it feels. It's a shame that we spend most of our time in the Conti with gloves on our hands, because the bare-fingered tactile sensations are what truly set it apart from just about every other automobile on the planet. The door panels, center stack, armrests, and even the tonneau cover are trimmed in fine leather. Beautiful tamo ash accents the cabin. In the parking lot of the Super Special -- where the race cars sprint through a makeshift 0.8-mile course at the bottom of a large gravel pit -- my buddies are most impressed with the Bentley's 1100-watt Naim stereo, which sounds amazingly crisp and clear, particularly when bumping old-school Dr. Dre.
The fact that the Audi gets quite a bit of attention when parked next to its six-figure rivals says a great deal. The A5 is arguably the most beautiful car of the trio even though it's the least expensive by far. It's also the most practical: It has the quickest-acting power top (lowering in just fifteen seconds), and it will work when the car is traveling at speeds of up to 31 mph -- versus 25 mph for the BMW and 20 mph for the Bentley. It can go much farther on a gallon of gas, and it's also the only car in which you can ask an adult friend to sit in the back without apologizing profusely for the cramped quarters.
Personally, though, I'm happy to drive off in the BMW. It's not the prettiest car here, but it's perfect for visiting Winding Road one final time at dusk to reexplore its surprisingly impressive rallying abilities. Plus, the 650i has a giant infotainment screen and optional swiveling LED headlamps that illuminate the road almost as well as a rally car's light bar.
Years ago, it was common for drivers of convertibles to freeze their buns off in the wintertime. And that was with the top up -- drafty side curtains and thin rag tops were almost useless for resisting the elements and heaters were weak, so drivers might as well have been sitting inside wire-wheeled refrigerators during colder months. Multilayer soft roofs keep today's convertibles comfortable and quiet at highway speeds with the top up. (Retractable steel roofs do, too, but the diminished luggage space, increased weight, and longer top-lowering times are undesirable compromises. Long live the rag top!)
There's absolutely nothing like driving a big-bucks convertible, top down, on a crisp morning while snowflakes flitter over the windshield and spiral onto the road behind you -- there's also nothing like fighting frostbite with a beer in your hand while a stickered-up econobox slides by so close that you can smell the racing fuel. Their creators probably engineered these three convertibles with the Cote d'Azur in mind, but there's nothing wrong with taking them north for the winter.

Author's note:
The was my first omnisicent view piece. I wrote this based on all the corruption and sadness in the world.
Good Morning, Hun
The diner was one where the waitresses all called you "hun". It didn't matter whether you were new in town or had been born in Dr. Schultz's office. Everyone was hun, just like everyone was "neighbor". No matter if you lived on one side of town or the other (not that the town was very big in the first place), you were a neighbor. You would walk into the diner, be greeted with a "Hi, neighbor!" by the men at the breakfast bar, and then be asked, "What can I start you to drink, hun?" by your waitress."Vanilla chai," Jessica White answered. The waitress looked slightly confused. "Never mind, just an orange juice." Annabelle knew what a vanilla chai was; she had given Jessica that look only because she was alone. No one was ever alone in the town. Jessica White was new though. A fresh run away from the nearest city, starting over with her aunt and uncle.
"Be right back, hun," Annabelle smiled, and traipsed away with poise of a ballerina. Jessica sat back in the booth and pulled out her phone. No new messages from Priscilla or Jonathan White, not a surprise. Oh, how she detested the couple. They were a combination of mean, abusive, and ignorant, all rolled up and stuffed into a casing of downright beautiful. Yes, they were good looking, and therefore, so was Jessica.
Upon entering the diner, she had turned the heads of the young, high school football team sitting at the table in the corner, their usual spot on Sunday mornings. Ignoring them, Jessica had taken an unoccupied booth next to the window. She wanted to erase any memories of Priscilla and Jonathan, and people-watching helped. In the town there were enough people to watch on Sunday mornings that your head spun. Sunday was the Sabbath day, but also the yard sale, lemonade stand, dog walking, group running day.
"Here ya go, hun," Annabelle said. She placed the orange juice on the left corner of Jessica's placemat. "Anything to eat?"
"Two slices of wheat toast and an egg over easy," Jessica ordered. "Please."
"Comin' right up, hun." Annabelle marched off, writing the order as she walked away. Jessica was Jessica. Never Jess or Jessie. That's what Priscilla called her when she was feeling mean. Now, Camille, Priscilla's sister and therefore Jessica's aunt, had always offered Jessica a place to stay. She had been reminded of this last Thanksgiving when Priscilla sent a fork across Jessica's cheek, causing a permanent scar. Camille had told Jessica multiple times that day that she was and would always be welcome at their home.
Not that Priscilla minded Jessica leaving. She hadn't cared when Jessica threatened to leave before, so Jessica took no care in telling Priscilla that she was actually leaving. That was Friday. Jessica had hopped on the train, then into a cab, and arrived in town on Saturday, yesterday.
"Eat up, hun. You look awfully sad. This'll cheer ya right up," Annabelle smiled and placed the food in front of Jessica, doing her best to be as nice as possible. And Annabelle was nice, she as one of the most kind-hearted people in the town. Jessica nodded and swallowed hard. She wasn't hungry, but hadn't eaten since Friday and would need her strength. Today was the day she explored the town's famed Donaghy Forest.
Camille and Eric's daughter, Beth, had told Jessica about the forest last night before they fell asleep. Beth whispered tales of demons and murderers and other criminals hiding in Donaghy Forest, set to pounce at any time. The tales wrapped themselves around Jessica's brain and didn't let go, a boa constrictor, choking her until she gave in.
Jessica finished eating and left a twenty on the table, more than enough to cover the bill. Then, she set out for the forest, against Beth's earlier pleading.
"You're kidding. You can't go. You'll die. Like little Wendi Smith," Beth warned.
"Who's Wendi Smith?" Jessica asked, resisting the urge to roll her eyes.
"She was seven. She went for a walk in the forest and never returned. Some call it Smith's Forest now, in her honor."
"That's made up. A fairy tale for the ill-humored."
"It's not! I knew her… Okay, well I didn't know her. But Camille did! You can ask!"
Then Camille interrupted from the kitchen, "I did not, Beth Marie. Now stop spinning lies and eat your oatmeal."
That had set in stone Jessica's desire to venture into Donaghy Forest. The name hardly sounded foreboding, and the pleasure of possibly finding Wendi Smith and solving the mystery tempted Jessica to the extreme. She always had the longing to solve mysteries. Watching those detective cartoons as a child and reading all the Betty Lee detective stories (fictional as they may have been) drove Jessica's passion for mystery.
The forest was at the most-southern point of the town. The entrance was well-marked with graffiti skulls and warnings of "Do not enter!" and "Life at risk upon entering!" Jessica marched onward past the signs and into the forest. The deeper she walked, the weirder she felt. As if eyes were on her every motion.
A branch cracked.
Jessica turned, and to her complete surprise, saw Priscilla. Stumbling, and clearly intoxicated, Priscilla closed in.
"What do you want?" Jessica screeched. Her heart beat fluttered up to panic mode. Her adrenaline kicked in, and she flew at her mother with near-lightning speed. But Priscilla was ready. She drew out of her pocket the sharpest tool in her kitchen. The butcher's knife.
And that knife was the last thing Jessica White saw.

god today........
dam hate Tuesdays well to be true hate everyday except Saturdays
first 3 periods were with the same teacher, single latin where i had to write a investigation on chariot racing, then double classics where what a shock had to do a different investigation, latins ok gives me a chance to be calm, quiet and think to myself. the class and the subject itself isn't that bad i guess.
but fucking classics its like WW2 every lesson first parts just the computer room bleh just this one fucking homophobe who mocks every GBT in existence but, again what a shock loves lesbians.
the second part as soon as the teacher leaves the room, Feudal Japan meets Middle Ages meets WW2, paper shurikans fly threw the air, paper plains fly and large clumps of paper get launched like rocks from a catapult.
4th period was Computing with one of my favourite teachers, but because of a couple of assholes were far behind on the multimedia project and now we are no longer allowed te talk te each other.
5th bleh doing a shit ton of work for the false promise of a movie in history not much else for that
6th period was really funny i guess where one of my female friends put proper lipstick on some of my male friends who looked like drag queens it was hilarious made even funnier when one of the guys kissed the other on the cheek as a joke. so he had lipstick which made it funnier because it got on his shirt and he had a girlfriend so possible break up causing pain which always makes me happy.
i think i have alot of emotional problems:
the voices being the obvious one, i dont want rid of them but i want to know where they came from and how to control them
a massively over the top HATRED for my mother i think that bitch deserves everything she gets she gets, i dont want to talk about her.......
a irrational fear of anything that can hurt me that is not human! its on and off but everything can and will scare me!
the list goes on and on and on....... a million more i can mention
the worst thing is that josh hasn't replied :( i hope theres a good reason
Are you afraid of upstairs? I have this massive bed and I'm always afraid it's gonna fall through the floor (which is really creaky) and land on the car. Talk about irrational fears!
"It's a helluva start, knowing what makes you happy."
--Lucille Ball
i was seriously terrified!
you should talk all the talk in a poets style
"so he had lipstick which made it funnier because it got on his shirt and he had a girlfriend so possible break up causing pain which always makes me happy."
Why does this make you happy?
In regards to your voices... It's hard to tell if these are intrinsic forces or extrinsic (from within you or from the outside). My advice would be to ignore them - the more attention you give to voices, apparitions, ect. The more they have the potential to ruin you.
2) pain is truly what i know best so its always a fimilar sensation which brings happiness that its not on me
oh i try not to give them more attention
you should talk all the talk in a poets style

I'm looking for a system that plugs in and charges while I'm listening at home, and is also portable using the battery. Is this system the one?
- Asked by Janet K from New York
- Dec 16, 2009
Bose SoundDock Portable
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Yes! The Bose® SoundDock® Portable allows you to charge both the dock and your iPod (depending on what model of iPod you have) while listening at home. Unplug the AC cable from the dock and it transforms into a full blown portable stereo system. Bose® has been able to keep the sound quality and power the same (highly impressive), whether your running the SoundDock® Portable® from the mains or from the in-built battery. When outside the sound quality is amazing! I've had people come over asking what brand it is because they were impressed that such sound was coming from something so small. Hope this helps.

Tom Robinn Hyaluronic serum
le Sunday 28 October 2012byJoe the "tire-remover"
It had been a long time since I had not tested anything from Tom Robinn. A French cosmetic brand which packaging has been redesigned since my first test. This product here is a hyaluronic serum. You may have heard about this barbaric term with hyaluronan (also called hyaluronic acid). Instead of collagen, this substance is… Read more

Always quite the sight to be seen, Nicole "Coco" Austin was back out on Miami Beach alongside husband Ice-T in a barely-there bikini on Monday (October 4). Wearing a tiny orange two-piece, Coco frolicked along the sandy shoreline as her man watched on while relaxing under the shade of a beach umbrella.

Hilarious, Peter Kay continues to storm the UK with this spin-off from Phoenix Nights. As a bonus the fitness DVD and CD soundtrack are worth the extra few quid. I think I've watched it 5 or 6 times so far.

Jan 25th 2012 2:07PM I noticed this was filtered a long time ago as this is a word I would use. One of the first things I checked in SWTOR was if transsexual was blocked by the filter (yes it is). I hope BioWare follows this example and also unblocks the word.

Dec 28th 2011 11:05AM Well I play DDO so when I spend my money on the game I only buy sale items. Funnily enough I like the subscription option the game has and think that is the best deal for my money in a month. When I feel like really playing the game in a month I pay the sub and have fun. When I am not in the mood or feel I won't play much I can just drop the sub and still have fun in game. I really like this model of f2p.

Dec 22nd 2011 11:28AM @(Unverified) I think you will find that in the real world things are not that simple. I am not the only person who was confused by the process and is now waiting in line to fix it. Beyond SWTOR being a game it is a business and due to how it designed it's system it
Operations management is about streamlining your process to work for you customers. The breakdown that occurred with me and many other customers is called 'static'. This is the difference between what the company was trying to say and what I actually heard. In designing the process they could have done many things to have prevented this breakdown such as a reminder on the activation page itself that would pop up or automatically direct you to the next step.
Proper process design is an integral part of business planning.

Dec 22nd 2011 11:00AM This is so frustrating as I already put in my game code but I still can't play. It gave me no notice when I did so that I had to do more! BioWare dropped the ball on this and much of the traffic could have been avoided if they had set things up properly.
The Daily Grind: Will SWTOR succeed in Asia? {Massively}
Dec 19th 2011 10:28PM I think that the main barrier to entry for this game is the hardware requirements. The mainstream hardware lvl is not a high as it is in some other countries. You could also argue that the mainstream hardware lvl is barely at a place it is useable in the American/European Market! Most people do not have high level graphics cards or dedicated gaming rigs.
The game has some issues when played with only the minimum system requirements and you need a decent graphic card to get it to play smoothly.

During the sale before patch 11 came out they offered 1000 points points per month and 3 months subscription for 30 dollars. I decided to try out the subscription and because I had the points anyway I got the Artificer class to play with which is the most expensive (and only) thing I have gotten in a cash shop. Not sure if that counts since I didn't pay for the points.

Merlina the Wizard (魔導師マリーナ Madōshi Marīna?, lit. "Mage Merlina") is the principal antagonist of Sonic and the Black Knight. She is a unique member of the townspeople from the world of Camelot and the granddaughter of the legendary wizard Merlin. A talented young wizard, Merlina serves the Royal Court as the Royal Wizard of Camelot.
When Merlina learned that only ruin and warfare awaited her kingdom in the future, she sought to prevent this by seizing the scabbard of Excalibur from the corrupted King Arthur to make her world eternal. For this, she called Sonic the Hedgehog to her world and sent him on a quest to retrieve the scabbard. When Sonic succeeded, Merlina attempted her plan, but was stopped and redeemed by Sonic before her actions could destroy the kingdom.
Following in her grandfather's footsteps, Merlina became the Royal Wizard of Camelot where she served the Royal Court. During the game's opening sequence, Merlina is being pursued by King Arthur and the Knights of the Underworld. The sorceress uses a summoning ritual to warp a "brave knight, swift as the wind" into the Arthurian world and Sonic promptly appeared. After the hedgehog dispatches the demon knights, Merlina stops him from attacking King Arthur immediately, and instead conjures a magical cyclone to teleport them away to the shores of Misty Lake.
After Sonic acquires Caliburn, Merlina explains that she cannot accompany them on their journey; as the Royal Wizard, she would attract unwanted attention from the residents of the Kingdom. Merlina instead remains in hiding for much of the first half of the game, while Sonic completes quests for Nimue, Lady of the Lake. When the hedgehog goes to battle King Arthur for the final time in Faraway Avalon, Merlina is finally tracked down by the Knights of the Round Table in Castle Camelot. The Blue Blur arrives back just in time to intervene and gave Merlina the Scabbard of Excalibur—which then enables the wizard to play her true hand.
Merlina reveals that she had, all this time, been planning a double-cross. Summoning Sonic to the Kingdom was not a scheme to defeat King Arthur and bring peace and liberty to the land, but rather to take the power of Excalibur's Scabbard for herself. Having foreseen the future of the storybook realm, Merlina realized that the Grand Kingdom was doomed to end in ruin and warfare—and is determined to stop these events from coming to pass, interpreting her grandfather's dream of a kingdom that lasts forever literally. The wizard intends to apply the scabbard's power of immortality to the realm itself by placing Grand Kingdom under a kind of magical stasis, fueled by the dark forces from the Underworld. As the castle falls apart around them, Sonic and the Knights flee through Knight's Passage. In order to save the Kingdom, the former lieutenants of King Arthur agree to work with Sonic and Nimue to halt the Dark Queen's magic by activating four sacred stones. Sir Lancelot rushes to Shrouded Forest, Sir Gawain to Great Megalith, Sir Percival to The Cauldron, and Sonic to Dragon's Lair.
Nimue's plan is, however, ineffective in halting the spread of Merlina's magic. Sonic and Caliburn head back to the castle to face the wizard in Dark Hollow, where Merlina explains her intentions. Enraged and disgusted, Sonic turns a deaf ear to Merlina's words and attacks her, but only suffers a severe beating. After being bisected by the crazed sorceress, Caliburn fuses with the other Sacred Swords of the Knights of the Round Table to become Excalibur–simultaneously encasing Sonic in a suit of gold armor: Excalibur Sonic. In response, Merlina uses the power of the Scabbard to transform into the giant Dark Queen, the game's final boss.
After her defeat, Merlina returns to normal, but continues to lament the fate of her world. Sonic hands her a flower and comforts her, proclaiming the anarchic wisdom that, while every world has to come to an end, they just have to live their lives to the fullest until that day comes. Reminiscing about her grandfather, Merlina takes the Blue Blur's words to heart. Though her reaction is not seen, she is also present when Caliburn reveals that Sonic is the one and true King Arthur.
Powers and Abilities
Merlina is a talented wizard of incredible power. She wields a form of magic referred to as "High Ancient magic", which is highly potent.[1] With her magic, Merlina can accomplish feats such as teleporting herself and others, accelerate the aging process of at least plants, and even call beings from other dimensions to her location through rituals. As another testament to her magical skills, she was able to single-handedly force Castle Camelot into collapse and raise a new castle in its stead at the same time.
Besides magic skills, Merlina is capable of fast movements and high strength, being able to catch Sonic the Hedgehog just as he took off at high speed and even hold him in stationary position on the ground while he was running. She also have some knowledge about swordsmanship as she was able to teach Sonic at the basics of swordplay at Misty Lake.
As a member of the townspeople race, Merlina breathes in carbon dioxide and breathes out oxygen, similar to trees.
Dark Queen
By harnessing the powers of the scabbard of Excalibur, Merlina can transform into the Dark Queen. In this state, Merlina's skills at High Ancient magic is greatly increased and she can also control the forces of the Underworld. She is also capable of feats such as flight, forming barriers and use her shadow for combat. She can also assume a ghostly spectral form where he can project energy, create barriers and engage in swordplay. While in this form, she is strong enough to go toe-to-toe with Excalibur Sonic and Excalibur.
Appearances in Other Media
Archie Comics
Merlina made an appearance in the story "Knight Time" from the Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog #197, as part of the comic's adaptation of Sonic and the Black Knight.
In an alternate medieval world, Merlina was a sorceress that served as the royal wizard to the ruler of the land, King Arthur. For unspecified reasons, however, Merlina made King Arthur angry at her and he desired her death, forcing Merlina to run for her life. As Merlina ran through the open fields, however, King Arthur caught up to her, and she ended up being cornered the king and his minions. In an effort to save herself from the king and his minions, Merlina used her magic to summon Sonic the Hedgehog from his world. After Sonic had arrived, Merlina apologized for summoning him so abruptly, but Sonic quickly caught up to the situation and dispatched King Arthur's minions in no time flat. Before Sonic could take on King Arthur, however, Merlina pulled Sonic back and teleported the two of them away in a whirlwind of smoke and dust.
- Merlin (Grandfather)
- King Arthur
- Excalibur Sonic (as Dark Queen)
Theme Songs
Merlina has four songs, a slow piano theme for when Sonic speaks with her "Merlina's Theme", "With Me" when she is the Dark Queen (shared as the theme for Excalibur Sonic). "Merlina- Her Wicked Smile" for when she reveals her true intentions and "Merlina- The Queen Of The Underworld" for when she starts to fight Sonic.
- "Ifaras zaras yezaras, Ifaris zaris yezarik. O brave knight, swift as the wind! Heed my call." - Merlina summoning Sonic.
- "Being from a distant world! Forgive my abrupt summons!" - Merlina greets Sonic.
- "No, you mustn't!" -Merlina trying to stop Sonic from attacking King Arthur.
- "You do not understand. He cannot be wounded."
- "Let me introduce myself, I am Merlina the Wizard." - Merlina introduces herself to Sonic
- "Yes. Nimue, the Lady of the Lake gave him Excalibur. He was bewitched by the power of immortality its scabbard bestowed. He became immortal, summoning legends from the underworld. He is plunging his kingdom into a world of horror and chaos." - Merlina answer Sonic's question "...He got a little sidetracked?"
- "The fate of our kingdom rests in your hands, do not fail us." - Merlina trusts Sonic with the fate of the Kingdom.
- "Are all creatures from your world as coordinated as you?" -Merlina is amazed by Sonic's speed and co-ordination.
- "T-That was amazing! Defeating the Mist Dragon like it was nothing. The mark of a true knight..." - Merlina after witnessing Sonic's defeat over the Mist Dragon.
- "If you remove that sword and defeat King Arthur with it, you shall forever be the worst of knights, slayer of Kings."
- "Why do flowers bloom knowing they are destined to wither? Their time of beauty is so short-lived." - Merlina's conflict in the game.
- "Your king was nothing more than an illusion my grandfather conjured up." - Merlina reveals who King Arthur really is to the Knights of the Round table..
- "There was never any King Arthur." - Merlina thinks King Arthur doesn't exist forever.
- "Well done and thank you Sonic." - Merlina takes the Scabbard from Sonic.
- "With this scabbard, I can erase my grandfather's greatest mistake." - Merlina reveals her intentions for the scabbard.
- "I shall make this kingdom eternal..." - Merlina, upon becoming the Dark Queen.
- Merlina bears a strong resemblance to Shahra except she has a lighter skin color, purple hair, a tiara with a red jewel in the middle, and a longer braided ponytail. They both had also betrayed Sonic, who had forgiven them, but unlike Shahra, Merlina didn't turn evil.
- Many have commented that Merlina bears a very close resemblance to Princess Zelda, of the Legend of Zelda games. It could be possible since both she and Zelda have similar hairstyles, ears, eye shapes, and even use magic powers to aid the hero. Both have also battled the hero at least once.
- When Merlina first summons Sonic, she uses the same incantation Erazor Djinn used to summon the Ifrit Golem in Sonic and the Secret Rings: "Ifalas zaras I e zaraq".
- It is mentioned by Lancelot after beating Shrouded Forest's Beat the Clock Mission that Merlina has done something bad before with the line "Dark Hollow? What is Merlina up to this time?" It could have been possible he was referring to her plot to take the scabbard in the beginning of the game.
- As the Dark Queen, Merlina is the first villain that Sonic faced who wanted to do good instead of evil. Unlike Erazor Djinn who wanted to destroy the story world, Merlina wanted to protect it. However, like Erazor Djinn, her intentions corrupted her.
- Merlina would be considered neutral for the following reasons:
- She wanted to stop King Arthur and protect her world.
- However, later in the game, she takes the scabbard and uses its dark powers to create a kingdom that lasts forever and sacrificing others in the process (which would mean she was not a sorceress, but indeed a witch), which was why Sonic had to stop her.
- After being defeated, she takes Sonic's advice to the live the life to the fullest with the time they have.
- Merlina is one of those few villains who changed their outlook on life and became Sonic's friend instead of his enemy. Another example is Chaos.
- In the 3D cutscene, (The opening of the game) Merlina's hair and dress are purple, but in the 2D (The rest of the cutscenes), her hair and dress are magenta. Also, in the 2D cutscenes, the Dark Queen has purple hair (though this was to match her overall darker appearance).
- Merlina's motives are similar to that of Maria and Tikal, which was to save their world from destruction, but Merlina's ambitions corrupted her, unlike Tikal and Maria's.
- Merlina's favorite flowers seems to be Carnations, for every time she had a flower in her hand, it was always a Carnation. She only held yellow/orange carnations, meaning disappointment or dejection. This relates to how she's disappointed with her world coming to an end someday or that she dejects its fate and decides to make a world that lasts forever.
- In the opening sequence of Sonic and Black Knight, when Merlina is running from King Arthur, a symbol on the bottom of her dress proves to have an extremely close resemblance to the guild seal within the popular Xbox/PC exclusive franchise Fable
- Merlina mentions her grandfather, Merlin, more than twice in the game. This suggests that she has or had a strong connection with her grandfather, much like a daughter to her father.
- Merlina is the only female human-like companion to not die in the story she's in. Maria was killed on Space Colony Ark, Elise was killed when Eggman's carrier crashed (though Sonic prevents this from happening by going back in time) and Shahra died when she took the fatal blow for Sonic. Ironically, she is the only one of them to use a tool for immortality.
- Merlina is the only primary antagonist in the entire Sonic the Hedgehog series that Sonic has faced who is a female.
- She is as well the first female final boss that Sonic has fought.
- By the logic that she used the methods she did to prevent her world from ending, Merlina can be viewed as a "Well-Intentioned Extremist"; who is someone who uses methods that can be viewed as morally wrong or questionable, but holds good intentions.

AEC 'won't bring foreign takeover'
TDRI reassures Thais over impact on jobs
- Published: 27 Nov 2012 at 00.00 | Viewed: 1,618 | Comments: 1
- Newspaper section: Business
- Writer: Nanchanok Wongsamuth & Parista Yuthamanop
Thais have a false perception that the Asean Economic Community will immediately open up the service sector to foreign dominance and negatively affect jobs, says a think-tank.
Thailand Development Research Institute president Somkiat Tangkitvanich said Asean was behind schedule in agreeing how countries can invest in other members' service sectors.
Asean countries have agreed to allow workers of eight professions to freely move to other member countries, but they still have to register and observe domestic requirements in those countries.

text: April 15 - AN Italian animal rights group today asked Pope Benedict XVI to stop wearing fur out of "respect for the sacredness" of animals' lives. The Italian Anti-Vivisection League said the Pope should not wear a fur hat the Vatican has ordered from a manufacturer in the northern city of Pavia ahead of his visit to a university there on April 22. "Out of respect for the sacredness of the lives of all living species, we invite the Holy Father to arrive at a choice of high religious and ethical value by giving up fur clothing for that occasion and for the future," the group's vice president, Roberto Bennati, said. Benedict XVI, who will celebrate his 80th birthday on Monday, regularly wears clothing with fur, particularly during outdoor ceremonies in the winter. The animal rights group argued that he should do without fur because "valid alternatives exist that do not call for the murder of animals".
