Makka yella video song from naan free downloadWhen A Fantasy Become's Reality!!!As I mentioned in my profile I used to, still occasionally do, write sexy adult stories for ladies and like minded couples and in return they would try some of the things I wrote about and some even sent pics and movies to show they had a nice time enjoying those stories.
So I've decided to download some of those stories to watch if u like 'em and if u do, feel free to message me and let me know what u think and if u feel that way inclined, send me a photo or 2 in return for the goodwill gesture I've given u! Hynotist Next DoorThis is an extended adaptation of a story I read online many years agone. It stuck in my head and I added to it and embellished it in my own ultra-raunchy way. Reading the amazing erotic tales posted here by DizzyD427 and Kinkybelle have inspired me to finish my version of this one and download it. Really, this is solely the 1st of several chapters. I'll flesh out and download the others as time permits.
My s****r Brooke p 80I didn't especially wanna drive coz I was sure there'd be tons of beer there, and I didn't wanna risk getting stopped on the way back to the hotel after the party.
Looking at the flyer, I noticed that it was nondescript. It implied that the party was hosted by the college, but after the discussion with the men at the school, I was sure it was a frat party. The presentation of the flyer, I was sure, was to lure unsuspecting gals. Pakistani Poontang #02Punjab princess gets her fuzzy naan bread pounded & creamed Cuckold Humiliation p 2A group of men surrounded 'em and they groped and dry humped the gals for the rest of the song. I went over to a table and sipped on my swallow during the time that I watched. They danced for a pair of hours and then the song "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails came on and Christina grabbed one man during the time that my wife grabbed some other. They smutty danced with their partners and actually ground into every other during the part of the song that goes "I wanna fuck u like an a****l...
Back Stage Cum Doxy p 2The singer crossed her legs, giving Loren and these in the front row a consummate view of her haunches. Loren wanted to jump on the stage and devour the tease. If the show didn't kill her the face to face with the singer surely would.
By the time the last song was over Loren could hardly stand her knees were so weak. This babe leaned on her roommate as the song ended, watching Hayley bend and blow kisses to the crowd. My wife copulates youthful dark man and leaves me p 3In advance of that night I was always in the room during the time that this babe was fucking and sometimes even participating. From that night on I can solely hear from some other room.
We got a baby (not a dark baby but our baby) 5 weeks agone. In one week this babe will be able to fuck afresh, and I desire her to fuck a dark man in advance of this babe copulates me for the 1st time after the birth. My s****r Brooke p 110During the time that I'd at no time performed this routine in advance of, I'd seen it many times, so I joined her on the dance floor. We danced jointly, with me following her lead. The crowd started singing and clapping along as we danced. I just now noticed that the DJ was playing the longer version of the song, the one from the movie, which lasts over four and a half minutes. I wasn't sure I could keep up this aerobic routine that lengthy, but I was giving it my most good try.
Friday Night p 18The chorus ends and the song proceeds into the verse.
Sir pulls my hair, lifting my head from the floor with one hand and cups my sex with the other. I'm so juicy. This guy lazily circles the aperture of my butt, lubricating it with my own arousal. This guy places tiny bites on my cheeks as this guy proceeds to juicy his fingers and circle me. Just as the line of the song begins in advance of the chorus, this guy spanks me hard and then inserts a finger into my butt. Buck and Rachel 1st FFM three-someSome other in the series.
Rachel and I were at a trade show in Fresh Orleans. It was typical - lengthy days - vendors having parties after - sheer hell ;-). I was staying a day longer than Rachel - but the final night in advance of this babe left we had a 'free' night - no vendor obligations. We went to a bar (hey, it was Fresh Orleans) and settled in for some drinks. A good band was playing. |

Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders
Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD) is a term used to describe a spectrum of disorders that can affect mothers and families during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
While commonly referred to as "postpartum depression," medical research and health care providers now know that these disorders can occur anytime in the perinatal period. These disorders include: Depression and Anxiety in Pregnancy, Postpartum Depression, Postpartum Panic Disorder, Postpartum Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Postpartum Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, and Postpartum Psychosis. The term "maternal depression" usually refers to depression during pregnancy or the postpartum period.
Approximately 15-20% of women will experience moderate to severe feelings of depression or anxiety during the perinatal period.[1-2] Women of any culture, age, income level, education level, and race can experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder. While there is no one single cause, women with a history of depression, anxiety, or other mental health concerns are more likely to experience PMAD. Stress, hormone changes, trauma, lack of support, family history, and other stressful experiences such as a colicky baby or pregnancy loss may also increase the risk for PMAD.
A mother's mood/anxiety symptoms have a direct impact on her child and partner. Approximately 10% of new fathers experience mood and anxiety problems as well.[3]

This last week, we received news that our colleague Dr. Seow Ting Lee was promoted from Assistant Professor to Associate Professor with tenure. We are very proud of Seow Ting's achievements. She is a stellar teacher and an excellent researcher, having been recognized with Faculty and University-wide teaching awards, and with many stellar publications in the areas of ethics, social media, health communication and strategic communication management.
We surprised Seow Ting with a gypsy dress although I guess she already had a sense that this was coming, given my poor acting skills:)
We have to plan more extreme surprises for the P&T parties as these are now getting pretty much the norm!
Welcome all your ideas and thoughts for the ones to come.
For now, let's all celebrate the success of Seow Ting. We are so proud of you!

CNM 2013 Random Blends: Showcasing Art and Creativity
Posted by cnmhead in Uncategorized on April 8, 2013
This week the Random Blends exhibit wrapped up at the Arts Science Museum. The event was a major success, with student exhibits wowing the viewers and engaging them in conversation and play. I am personally delighted to witness the creativity and artistic expression of our Media Design students. I am sure that those of you who attended the events will agree with me.
The event was opened by Janadas Devan, Chief of Government Communications for the Ministry of Communication and Information. The theme of this year's Random Blends is "process," depicting the creative processes through which theory finds expression in practice. What you will experience today are the creative expressions of the abstract concepts, critical questions, and analytical frames that are conceptualized by our students.
In addressing the role of process in communication, I noted: "Communication for us is not only about the meanings we co-create, but also the values we come to imagine together as a community of scholars and practitioners. Our excellence is embodied in our theoretical treatment of communication as a creative process that actively works toward making social impact and toward imagining a better world."
The exhibits, showcasing the creative work of our media design students, depict the ways in which the creative process works toward the formation of socially relevant art.
Thanks to our media design teachers, Jing, Anne-Marie, Chris, Joshua, and colleagues. Thanks also to our amazing and brilliant students who created and curated the work. The quality of the work speaks greatly to your creativity and learning here in CNM.
Here are the links to the extensive media coverage of Random Blends, thanks to the work of Satveer, Daniel, Mary, Chris and Josh:

Make love, not war! We're big Jelena fans at HollywoodLife.com, so it's hard to see this once happy couple dissing each other in public. Browse through our gallery to see the newest ways Justin and Selena have gotten revenge on each other.
It's been two full months since Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez split on Dec. 30. While we certainly hope they can work things out and reconnect down the line, there's no denying that these two former lovers have been dissing each other pretty hard lately.
Since their unfortunate split in late December, Selena has sang "Cry Me A River," Justin's alleged dirty past came back to haunt him and the Biebs even grabbed a fan's boob on a carpet! Are all of these just moves to hurt each other? That's debatable.
But then there's the more obvious signs. For instance, Selena, 20, tweeted a photo of her giving the peace signs while wearing a hat with Justin's tattoo, she bared her sexy cleavage on a Spring Breakers poster and did it again at a Justin Timberlake concert.
Furthermore, there's all the new potential love interests that Justin, 19, and Selena have been parading around with in public: Ellapaige Roberts-Clarke, Hunter Hayes, Gucci Mane and a mystery blonde, who was spotted leaving Justin's London hotel on February 27.
It's clear that a lot of emotions are involved. So what's our advice? Stop the dissing and get back together! Justin and Selena clearly still care about each other. Otherwise, they wouldn't go to such great lengths to send revenge disses to each other. Right?
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers?

So much hate! So much anger! Organized hater's willfully publish hateful Social Media BS comments about innocent individuals. Haters' intent is to capture maximum market attention and financial gain at the expense of others.
Are you a hater? You can change. Don't be a hater. Cooler heads prevail. Get cooler. Take back control of your emotions. Consider the source. No one is perfect. We all have flaws. Choose to be positive. It's a personal choice. It's your choice. A positive approach will serve you well in your personal and family lives.

I think the reason why Ella is being seen near Justin is either because she is one of Justin's friends girlfriends or she just wants more fame. I think Selena and Hunter Hayes would be a cute couple, but nothing could ever replace Jelena and no one could ever make Justin more happy.
Posted at 9:50 AM on March 3, 2013
They are doing this to hurt each other, but what goods that? They should discuss this and if it doesn't work out then they should just stop do what they want with their lives. Or if they get back together then their together. I am a huge jelenator and would love to see them together and happy. But if this is the way to make themselves feel better.then there's your answer.
Posted at 9:16 AM on March 3, 2013
Justin is not with a new girl,this Ella girl is Justin's Dj's girlfriend,Justin and Selena are not over each other and who knows maybe they are still together they just like to keep things quite right,maybe they just want us to think they dont talk to each other but we will never know,anyways…

Posted at 8:41 AM on March 3, 2013
Why would Selena get back with Justin when he already moved on and he is with a new girl? She isn't a fool. What she needs is keeping move on with her life. And these Selena's new potential love interests are just made up rumours, without a pic at least. I hope she finds a new love when her life calm down a little

Aphrodisiac Foods: Fact Or Fiction?
I decided to make a small list of common foods believed to have sexually stimulating effects, even though in most cases, their effects have yet to be proven. This list is by no means incontestable, since most of the claims are not based on fact. Nevertheless, here are some foods that are considered aphrodisiacs and why, or as the case may be, why not.
Ah yes, good old oysters, the cliché of all aphrodisiac foods. Oysters have long been thought to have aphrodisiac properties, but very few studies have been conducted on the matter.
One thing that brings credibility to the oyster myth is the fact that these slippery critters are full of zinc. Zinc controls progesterone levels, which have a positive effect on the libido. Zinc deficiency can cause impotence in men, so any food rich in zinc is considered an aphrodisiac in that respect, and oysters happen to be loaded with the mineral.
Many believe that oysters were originally labeled "aphrodisiac" because of their shape. Upon close inspection, they somewhat resemble the female sex organ. This could be a reason why people in the past associated mussels with sexuality. Sexual appetite, more often than not, starts in the mind rather than in the body, so oysters could have a psychological effect on the libido.
This brings us to the next type of aphrodisiac foods...
sexually suggestive food
Many different foods are considered aphrodisiacs because of their sexually suggestive nature. Eggs and caviar remind us of the reproductive system. Asparagus, bananas, onions, carrots and, as stated above, oysters, also remind us of sex organs, and have therefore been categorized in many cultures as erogenous foods.
None of these foods really have any proven qualities, but if they make us believe that they'll raise our sexual desires, chances are they'll work. Many men's sexual libido begins to diminish after having been with the same partner for a long time, so sexually suggestive food can help spice things up.
the devil's soup
As crude as it may sound, alcohol is also considered an aphrodisiac. It relaxes the body and reduces inhibition. In other words, alcohol makes you do things you normally wouldn't do in a sobered state. It doesn't really enhance the libido; it just changes one's perception of things.
How many times have you heard stories of an acquaintance making a complete jackass of himself during a party, staring down some girl's dress or making out with, let's say, somebody less than desirable? Where would humanity be if it weren't for alcohol? A world population of a few billion short, probably.
Think she might like your nuts...

Tree Planting in Honor of His Majesty the King
The populace of the entire country has been urged to join the campaign "Tree Planting, 80 Seeds for Father" in honor of His Majesty the King, who is recognized as Father of the Land.
The campaign is part of the project in celebration of the 80th birthday anniversary of His Majesty this year. It is aimed to encourage people to show their gratitude to His Majesty on this auspicious occasion.
Minister to the Prime Minister's Office Khunying Dhipavadee Meksawan said that the project has been carried out jointly by the Office of the Permanent Secretary under the Prime Minister's Office, the Royal Forest Department, the Royal Thai Army, the Boss Association, and Kasetsart University's Alumni Association. It focuses on the theme "Deeply Rooted Love and Unity," which calls on people to unite their hearts as one for environmental preservation on a sustainable basis. Under the project, it has been suggested that people grow trees with yellow flowers. Among these trees is
, known by several names, including the Pudding Piper Tree, or Indian laburnum.
Recognized as the national flower of Thailand,
is a deciduous tree that grows to a height of eight to 15 meters. It is a native of the Asian tropics and is found in mixed deciduous forests. It blooms from February to May and grows leaves prior to flowering.
illuminates the cities and forests alike with its beautiful, bright yellow flowers.
Literally meaning "royal plant," ratchaphruek is commonly referred to as
among Thais. The color of this flower signifies Monday, the day of birth of His Majesty the King. So
is meaningful for Thai people. Moreover, Thais consider this tree auspicious because its bright yellow flower also represents Buddhism.
According to Khunying Dhipavadee, the Royal Forest Department is distributing nine million packets of seeds for planting throughout the country. Each packet contains nine perennial seeds. People wishing to participate in the project may give a donation of nine baht for one packet. This number 9 stands for His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the ninth monarch of the Chakri dynasty.
The seeds are available at various stores, such as Seven-Eleven, B2S, and major drug stores. Proceeds will go to the account "Project on Tree Planting, 80 Seeds for Father in Honor of His Majesty the King." The donation will be presented to His Majesty for use at his discretion.
His Majesty the King is immensely interested in the conservation of natural resources because recent development of the country has demonstrated how economic growth can result in overuse and misuse of such resources. Tree planting will help increase natural resources and solve environmental problems.

Because power is now concentrated in the hands of so few, the Miami delegation faces a somewhat new challenge: Hold itself together sufficiently to a) make Marco Rubio speaker and b) push current leadership into making concessions on local issues. No matter how it may look from the outside, the effort requires constant maintenance; the group of ten Cubans and one Colombian spans an array of personalities, ideologies, and ambitions.
At one end is smooth, intellectual insider Marco Rubio; at the other is pugnacious charmer Ralph Arza. The two could not be more different and yet, after initial skirmishing, Arza played a key role in helping Rubio lock up pledges for the speakership. Rubio is often described as a talented young politician who has thus far managed to balance his larger ambitions with more parochial considerations. He can strong-arm party members into accepting a position, or he can broker a consensus, sometimes in clever ways, such as relying on the debating skills of the eloquent Dan Gelber.
Majority whip Gaston Cantens is a quiet, serious fellow, smart and well regarded even outside South Florida. His unsuccessful bid for the 2004 speaker position helped bring the delegation together and laid the groundwork for Rubio. Gus Barreiro and Manny Prieguez are leaders within the group even though they're considered mavericks who don't always vote along party lines.
Rene Garcia was initially viewed as just another Raul Martinez protégé trying to get the heck out of Hialeah, but he's become a more serious player. The friendly, eager-to-please Garcia was elected chairman of the Miami-Dade delegation two years running because he has managed to make the rambunctious, sometimes unruly, members get along with each other. Julio Robaina, former mayor of South Miami, is considered by some of his peers to be a closet Democrat with a pothole mayor's mentality.
David Rivera is the experienced back-channel strategist and loudest drumbeat on Cuba issues. Juan-Carlos Planas, a notorious practical joker, is carving a niche for himself on judicial issues. Marcelo Llorente, the youngest at age 28, is considered bright but in need of some maturing. Juan Carlos Zapata is an interesting case because as the only Colombian Republican, he is the minority within the minority. Some think that made him a little paranoid initially, but this year he's clearly on the team and his colleagues are willing to publicly support him.
Barreiro, Prieguez, and Cantens were each elected in 1998, when the Cuban delegation was divided by personal politics; other legislators didn't view them as a bloc because they were so busy fighting each other. The three newcomers saw this and made a decision to change. "We saw how things worked and how important being in leadership was and we looked at Gaston and said, 'Would you like to be speaker?'" remembers Barreiro. "Then we sat down with each Hispanic member and talked to them about how we have to stick together. We saw that we each are as strong as our strongest member."
Cantens concurs. "You're less likely to screw someone if you like them," he reasons. "Build on personal relationships rather than playing hardball. Every member of the team needs to check their ego at the door. We've hopefully learned from some of the mistakes of the past."
The future will depend on it, especially if Rubio does ascend to the speaker's post in two years. Florida may be more like Miami every year, but there is still a lot of trepidation in points north. "It's a very careful balancing act he needs to perform," Cantens allows. "We don't want the rest of the state to come back and say, 'See? This is why we don't trust South Florida.'"
Tallahassee Here We Come
This year's Miami-Dade County Days (March 31 and April 1) was quite the bonanza for airlines, hotels, and restaurants in Tallahassee. About 350 people registered through the official organization, which charged $150 a head to participate in the events, and offered package deals that ran up to $600 for airfare, hotel, meals, and events. Coordinators also gave away several packages to organizations that kicked in sponsorship money. Other attendees made different arrangements. Here's a brief look at some of the numbers, as provided by each entity.
Miami-Dade County spent $24,988 to send 39 people, including commissioners Sally Heyman, Katy Sorenson, José "Pepe" Diaz, Javier Souto, Rebeca Sosa, and Bruno Barreiro. The commissioners brought a total of fourteen aides with them, including those sent by Barbara Carey-Shuler and Dorrin Rolle. The rest were from various departments, such as transit, cultural affairs, community relations, the fire department, and county courts.
City of Miami spent about $3000 to send eight people, including Mayor Manny Diaz and his chief of staff, Manager Joe Arriola, Commissioner Joe Sanchez and an aide, two aides to Commissioner Johnny Winton, and the city's grants administrator. Some of their costs were covered by event organizers.
City of Miami Beach spent an estimated $1800 to send commissioners Luis Garcia and Richard Steinberg, and the city's economic development director. Manager Jorge Gonzalez also went along, but his trip costs were covered by event organizers.

Today's Great Horror Movie Trailer: Suspiria, the horrifyingly artistic and bloody 1977 film from Italian horror legend Dario Argento. All the fun of boarding schools, ballet dancers, secret covens, and necromancy, in one Technicolor package.
The Best Thing About It: The whole trailer is fantastic, but obviously the big-ticket item is that opening. It's got all the elements. Sing-songy nursery rhyme complete with stark plinking. A turned-away face set against a black background. An over-the-top skull reveal. AND a kicky flower in the hair to complete the look. None of this is even in the movie, and it already counts as one of the greatest scares in horror history. All that plus the greatest turtleneck sweater in pop culture history.
Contributing Factors: Once the trailer moves into the scenes from the actual movie, the tension doesn't let up. You get a good look at Argento's surreal color palette, the melodramatic acting, the violent splashes of brightest blood. The film's title -- repeatedly hissed by a malevolent voiceover -- is accompanied by the letters spelled out in veiny, beating hearts. The killer tagline: "The only thing more terrifying than the last twelve minutes of Suspiria are the first 92." Foreboding AND providing the vital service of giving you the film's running time right up front!
Better Or Worse Than The Movie It Advertises?: Somehow, despite being one of the all-time best trailers and a hallmark for creativity in movie advertising, the trailer still pales in comparison to the actual film. Have you not seen this movie yet? Do you have a good excuse as to why not?
Final Assessment: This is how horror cinema ends up with some of the most ardent fanbases around. Every extremity of the filmmaking process gets an infusion of macabre energy. This is how you sell the work of one of the masters of horror.

At a relatively advanced age, Morris is recruited as a major league player and realizes that it is never too late to realize one's dreams. An inspiring true story, "The Rookie" is a warm family feature that showcases Quaid's talent. On Sunday, the big screen comes alive with J.R.R. Tolkien's classic fantasy trilogy, "The Lord of the Rings." The fourth highest grossing movie in cinematic history, the Fellowship of the Rings will thrill the entire family with its dramatic visuals and vivid animation.

Next week, Central Pacific Bank will once again sponsor "Sunset on the Beach."

On September 8, prior to the featured movie at "Sunset on the Beach," local artists and city and state emergency response personnel will join together and participate in this special effort. A video of this live recording will then be presented as a gift to the people of New York City. "What will make this recording special is that we are asking the people of Hawaii to be a part of a recording that will be given as a gift to the people of New York City," said Arnoldus. Thousands of residents and visitors are expected to participate and share their aloha of our state and great nation at this "Sunset of the Beach" event.

hehe thats got to suck. i should get it soon.
April 26th, 2005, 06:37 AM #36
The only reson you don't have it is b/c you're too lazy to get it . ANYHOO, i was lazy too , i didn't get it until march this year, i think the end of school pushed it out of my mind last year... maybe i'm just making excuses. I had to order it as well, i went to all the book stores at the Sunshine Plaza and not a single one had Riddle, i had to order it in, took 2 weeks! That's why i came here, to while away the hours whilst i waited for it.
Well, back on topic, i've been reading The Grapes of Wrath by John Stienbeck, i can see why it won the Pulitzer , an excellent book, if a bit deppressing (the Joads have just reached the labour camp and the bleakness is getting to me so i'm finding it hard to read on), my favorite chapters are the descriptive ones, the way he set the book out is brilliant.
In the end it took 51 hours for that movie to download, it finished about 1am this morning.
BTW welcome to SFF World Netty!

I've had other people tell me (a couple quite outraged) that they're having trouble getting the books. Though they're in places like Reader's Feast and Borders (The Riddle, but not The Gift, which puzzles me). This is partly down to Penguin's salespersons, as well as the bookshops, so I've been making a little bit of a fuss (don't they want to sell their books??) The Riddle was literally just shoved into the shops, and has been a bit lost in terms of Penguin's policies - they even forgot to enter it into the Aurealis Awards. That's for a number of reasons, most of which are no one's fault; the main thing was that I didn't have an editor pushing it inside the company. I've been assured that a little more attention will be paid to the books than heretofore... and the editor gap is now fixed up. Anyway, good on you for pushing the bookshops! Thanks, guys.

I'm very picky with fantasy, I usually either love it or hate it - I love Alison's books, Tolkien (of course), and some Garth Nix books - not the Seventh Tower series though, it's too corny and it seems a little 'dumbed down'.
I like Harry Potter, but honestly can't see what all the fuss it about - there are a lot worse books out there, but also a lot of better ones. Same goes for the Earthsea books.
I LOVE anything Douglas Adams - but if the new movie is a crap as the trailer makes it out to be, I'm going to be *just a little* annoyed.
The Phillip Gwynne books (Deadly Unna, and Nukkin Ya) are very good, as well.
Also Everworld, and Animorphs to a lesser degree. Can anyone tell me where my screen name comes from?
And the Halo books are very good (well, Eric Nylund's ones at least - I understand there wasn't much you could do with making a book directly from the plot of a shooting game, but still, Book 2 was a little boring)
Emily Rodda is good (Deltora Quest is a little average, and series 2 sucked majorly, but it still compares quite well to most other fantasies). I like the Teen Power books (it's under a new series name now, Raven Hill Mysteries maybe?)Last edited by Akdor 1154; May 1st, 2005 at 04:45 AM. Reason: clearing up some confusing commas

You just reminded me, i've also read some of Everworld, up to book five, i gave up after that . Can you tell me what happens. Hmmmm Akdor does seem familiar, but i can't remember what from. I've also read the Remnants series by the same author, (have you read it?) i gave up on that as well. I must say i don't agree with Applegates writing style (ie a sh*t load of books all about 100 pages long.)

Everworld Spoiler:
Spoiler:The mean angry chick (I forget her name, maybe it's Gemma? The one that's not April) kills the guy that the old crazy woman said could be killed by no man. Then she dies as well. Then all the gods team up and try to rebuild Everworld, and all the kids decide to live only in Everworld.
And BTW, my name cames from Visser 'Hork-Bajir' Chronicles. Akdor was the first Yeerk to propose attacking the Andalites instead of allying with them. Such a nice guy .
Writing that made me wonder whether Applegate was mirroring the U.S.'s default state of affairs with any "inferior" coutries with the Andalites. I was like 11 when I read the book, I didn't worry about this stuff back then.
I read Remnants and liked a bit, but I had some trouble getting the 13th book (ooh, unlucky ) and it series wasn't good enough to convince me to actually go to some effort in tracking it down . Is she still writing them?Last edited by Akdor 1154; May 1st, 2005 at 05:17 AM.
May 1st, 2005, 05:27 AM #42I think her name was Sienna (?)(Everworld spoiler)
Spoiler:why would they want to stay in Everworld? some people are too stupid. I remember somebody saying something about a battle lead by Sienna and then her dying, so i guess they were right.
I have no idea about wether or not she is still writing the Remnants series, i think i got up to the 7th book there, then it got too depressing, the whole end of the world thing really got on my nerves, could you tell me what happens there as well ? (Remnants spoiler)Spoiler:i got up to the bit where the adopted kid is talking with the mothership or something and everyone else is pigging out on Macca's or something. I think they find a chunk of earth and everyone dies (?) but the Jane, i forget ther name brings them back to life or something.
way to many "or something"'s lol

Rumors of Kim's affair with Kanye — while she was married to Kris Humphries — were sparked again by their NYC date. It's shocking they went out on the day Kanye's new song about being in love with her came out!
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are now dating — and they were spotted out as a couple for the first time on the day Kanye's diss track about Kris Humphries was released!
Kanye, 34, and Kim, 31, were seen going to The Hunger Games at a New York City movie theatre on April 4, TMZ reports.
Sources close to the couple say that they are dating — but they're taking things slow for now.
Kim also took to Twitter on April 5 to write, "Saw Hunger Games last night. What did you guys think?"
That same evening, Kanye released a new song with DJ Khaled called "Theraflu" on New York City radio station Hot 97 which touched upon about his love for Kim — and how Kris, 27, ruined it:
"And I'll admit, I had fell in love with Kim / Around the time she had fell in love with him / Well that's cool, baby girl, do your thing / Lucky I ain't had Jay drop him from the team".
This timing of this is pretty bad for Kim legally, given the battle with Kris she's entering over their divorce. Furthermore, it seems to confirm reports that she was allegedly having an affair with Kanye DURING her marriage — which would sink her prospects in court!
Do YOU think Kanye and Kim make a good couple, HollywoodLifers?

I remember when Amber Rose said one of the reasons she split with Kanye was because he was cheating on her with Kim while Kim was with Reggie Bush. So Kim and Kanye have been "F" buddies for a long time. TMZ says they are dating.
They are both narcissistic people and crave public attention. IMO they are both pathetic. This is just another way for both of them to stay in the news big time. Watch how long this "relationship" lasts. Kim's first husband said she was a fame whore and cheated on him with other dudes. Girl is nasty.

She is the village bicycle everyone has had a ride! Any horny dog could make it with her. I thought she said she needs a long time before dating, was that another lie? Did she help write the stupid song. NONESENSE! I knew all a long Kris Humphries was not the right color for her.

Corruption in Kenya; Corneille's Music
Aired June 27, 2009 - 12:30:00 ET
DAVID MCKENZIE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hello, and welcome to INSIDE AFRICA. I'm David McKenzie reporting from Kenya. On the show this week, Michela Wrong, author of "It's Our Turn to Eat" discusses corruption in Kenya. And Rwandan musician Corneille talks about his music and why he'll never go home again. But first, we look at the plight of the mentally disabled here in Kenya. Like in many African countries, they often don't get the help that they need. Kenya spends less than one percent of its annual health budget on mental health services, but the families of the mentally disabled pay a heavy price. I spent some time with those families and with an activist who's trying to change that. And what I saw was quite disturbing. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) MCKENZIE: Social workers in Kenya searching for those in desperate need, finding a mother and child on the floor of a squalid kitchen hut. John is 17 and severely handicapped. He's been living like this his whole life. His mother Jane is mildly mentally disabled. She does what she can for her son, but John spends much of his time on his side, and he suffers from severe bed sores. They depend on help from their impoverished family, and they haven't eaten for days. Edah Maina runs the Kenya Society for the Mentally Handicapped. After years of working with the vulnerable, the cases still shock her. This poorly funded charity does what it can, acting on the tips of neighbors, searching for the neglected. Daniel Mungai's (ph) family keeps him locked away in this shack, his clothes and bed soaked with his own waste. (on camera): So, how long has he been here, living here like this? EDAH MAINA, DISABILITY ACTIVIST: For 15 years. MCKENZIE: For 15 years. MAINA: Yes. MCKENZIE (voice over): Daniel started having seizures at a young age. He's sometimes given medicine for epilepsy, but his parents say they simply can't afford to maintain proper care, and they're struggling to cope. NDUNG'U JOROGE, DANIEL'S FATHER (through translator): We don't lock him up out of bad will. We lock him up because people are very bad to him out there. If he leaves, he could be caught by young men. That is why we lock him up in the house. MCKENZIE: The desperate measures that families feel they need to take aren't rare. MAINA: People with mental disabilities . MCKENZIE: Edah Maina says the mentally disabled in Kenya have few options for long-term care and support. MAINA: The entire family is effected, and especially when the mother sort of loses hope and resorts to locking up the child, because they have to go out and look -- and earn a living. Or they have to chain them up because they have behavioral and emotional disturbance, and they don't want them to hurt themselves. MCKENZIE: It's hard to believe that 15-year old Joseph could hurt himself or anyone else, but he is on powerful anti-psychotic drugs, and his mother and grandmother struggle to handle him. PRISCA NJERI, JOSEPH'S GRANDMOTHER: When the drugs finish, he beats himself, and he bites himself when the drugs finish. MCKENZIE: She doesn't know what they'll do when Joseph gets bigger as they don't have access to proper care. Like so many families in Kenya, they feel forced to make an awful choice -- locking their loved ones away in darkened rooms. (END VIDEOTAPE) MCKENZIE: The director of Mental Health here in Kenya told me that they're doing what they can, but that they're overwhelmed with the situation. He said that there are only 50 active psychologists in the country servicing more than 30 million people. We'll have much more of INSIDE AFRICA after the break. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) MCKENZIE: Welcome back to INSIDE AFRICA from Nairobi, Kenya. There have been several high-profile sporting events on the continent lately, including the Tusker Safari Sevens. We'll take a look at them now, starting with the 2010 warm-up event for South Africa. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) MCKENZIE: Football fever ahead of the World Cup next year failed to feel stadiums for the Confederations Cup. So, football's governing body did what it could to avoid embarrassment. SEPP BLATTER, FIFA: It is not a principle of FIFA to give tickets away, but it's also a principle when there is an opportunity to offer tickets to people that cannot afford to buy tickets. MCKENZIE: Poor attendance is not expected to be a problem in 2010, but transport has emerged as a major concern. Fans describe the system as chaotic, inadequate and confusing. Local organizers say the problems are being addressed, but there is one thing they can toot their own trumpet about -- the Confederations Cup turned out to be peaceful and fun. More than 30,000 rugby fans from Ireland and Britain also invaded South Africa to watch their British and Irish Lions take on the Springboks. This fans tend to be middle-class, middle-age men and women, with money to spend and a penchant for orderly celebration, no matter the final score. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There is a turn of phrase that says win or loose, we booze. MCKENZIE: But their visit caused a shortage of hotel rooms, raising concerns that South Africa might have trouble accommodating an expected half-million football fans next year. Rugby fever also gripped Kenya. The national team finished the best ever sixth in the AOB Seven series, beating heavyweights like South Africa, New Zealand and England, which attracted droves of happy fans to the Safari Sevens tournament in Nairobi. Unlike the traditional 15-a-side format, the sevens version is faster, more free-flowing, and the games are shorter, making it a crowd pleaser. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (inaudible). MCKENZIE: And the love appears to be spreading. (END VIDEOTAPE) MCKENZIE: The Safari Sevens, probably one of the biggest parties of the year in Kenya. What is more engrained, unfortunately, in the country is corruption, and this book, "It's Our Turn to Eat" deals with that subject. Several weeks ago I did a story on the book, because booksellers in Nairobi were too afraid to sell it to the public. The government said that it hadn't banned the book, but the booksellers were worried that people within these pages would end up suing them because of the explosive content. Michela Wrong, the author of "It's Our Turn to Eat" tells a story of the former corruption czar of Kenya who fled to the U.K. and then resigned his post. She's now publishing it in the U.S., and she sat down with CNN's Elise Labott. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) ELISE LABOTT, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I want to take you to 2003 in January. Kenya is seen as the most stable country in Africa, a model of democracy. The new president Mwai Kibaki appoints John Githongo to expose corruption, and it's a time of great hope. And he's personally loyal to him, and then what happens? MICHELA WRONG, "IT'S OUR TIME TO EAT": Everything seemed to be going very well, and there was this great mood. But gradually what happened was that John Githongo, who is a former journalist, began to discover that there was a big scandal brewing in his own administration. And one by one, the ministers who he thought were going to be helping him fight this were beginning to come to him and say, John, you're investigating your own people, you're investigating your own community, your ethnic community and your own administration. Please, can you stop? LABOTT: Kenya is a very tribal society. And you talk in a book, and you suggest that tribalism and corruption go hand in hand. In fact, talk about the role of the tribe in Kenya and how does corruption fit into that? WRONG: Well, basically I called my book "It's Our Turn to Eat," because it's a phrase you hear all the time in Kenya. You hear it elsewhere in Africa as well, and it captures the system of rule that has predominated in places like Kenya, where one ethnic community tends to regard access to state power, to state house and the presidency, as their chance to pillage, to gorge themselves on state resources. And it's not about sharing the wealth around. It was their turn to eat, and there wasn't a sense that they were doing this -- there were great growth rates, 6 percent growth rates, a lot of aid coming in, tourism was thriving. But this was not for the country. This was going to be their own narrow -- it was going to be in that group's interest. LABOTT: And Githongo didn't have the same ethnic loyalty. He felt that it was his responsibility, an individual act of courage to kind of expose this corruption, and he's faced with a choice -- his tribe or his moral conscience. WRONG: Well, that's what is so interesting about John Githongo, and that's why I decided to write the book. Because I think in the -- in the personage of John Githongo, you see very much the modern African. And he's being prevented with often older men, ministers coming to him and saying, you should put the interests of your ethnic community first. But he doesn't feel that way. He became a whistleblower eventually, but it wasn't originally that clear to him. He went on the run. He turned up at my flat in London, because we were old friends, and he had collected a lot of evidence. And what he'd done is he'd actually miked himself up, and had taped all these conversations with these ministers, who were coming to him and saying, "John, Anglo-Leasing, the scandal, it's us that you're investigating. Please, stop it." LABOTT: The book made a lot of waves in Kenya. It got great reviews, but you can't find it on the shelves, and even the government itself refuses to acknowledge that the book exists. Did you realize that it was going to be so controversial when you wrote it? WRONG: No, I didn't. I was aware that I was writing about a scandal that had been widely exposed, but what happened after the book was published is that the booksellers of Nairobi got very frightened, very nervous, and they decided they didn't want to sell it because they might be sued for libel by the people mentioned in the book. Of course, that's made it a notorious book, and it's also made a lot of Kenyans want to -- to get hold of it. So, in a way, they shot themselves in the foot. And I think in this day and age, you can't stop people getting hold of information. (END VIDEOTAPE) MCKENZIE: Corruption, such a damaging and difficult problem to fight. Stay with INSIDE AFRICA. We have much more after the break. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) MCKENZIE: You're watching INSIDE AFRICA. Welcome back. Morocco has become a model for women's rights in the Muslim world. That's because of the 2004 family code called Moudawana, that was unanimously adopted by the parliament in Morocco. As Seema Mathur explains, the changes it contains had made a huge difference for many Moroccan women. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) SEEMA MATHUR, CNN CORRESPONDENT: In Morocco, many women celebrate that stories like Jai Mansouri`s (ph) are becoming less common. Married at just 13, Mansouri followed a once typical path of going from the control of her father's home to her husband's, a man who was more than twice her age. JAI HASSA, VICTIM OF ABUSE (through translator): He rapped her hands with the headboard of the bed. MATHUR: In addition to sexual abuse, she was blamed for having a disabled child. HASSA: They used to insult me and curse me. MATHUR: Mansouri is now divorced and glad that child marriage is no longer legal in Morocco. HASSA: Really, I think there is -- women are more protected than they used to be. MATHUR: In 2004, there was a sweeping change to the family law in Morocco known as Moudawana. Women gained rights never seen before-- being able to choose their husband, to becoming an equal partner in marriage. With legal rights to property, women now don't have to fear living on the streets if their husband divorces them. They can remarry and keep their children. FATIMA SADIQI, WOMEN'S RIGHT ACTIVIST: Now, the divorce is not in the hands of the husbands. It's in the hands of the judge. MATHUR: Fatima Sadiqi, an expert in women's studies, says Moroccan women gained those rights through strategy and circumstance. SADIQI: All the ingredients of the historical moment were present at the specific point, and we had the changes. MATHUR: In 2003, the country was shocked by the bombings in Casablanca. SADIQI: There were Moroccans killing Moroccans. That was a big shock, a big shock for Moroccans. And then extremism was banned by everyone. MATHUR: It was an opportunity to back women's rights still based on Sharia on religious law. SADIQI: Those texts were read with new lenses. MATHUR: Finally, the changes were carefully worded to be about family rights and to be inclusive of the religious spectrum of all Moroccans. SADIQI: They rallied, these younger veiled feminists, by demystifying the veil and say, we have no problem with the cloth you put on your head. The most important thing is to give women's rights. That made it. MATHUR: Women legally have more rights now. The problem is, many don't know it or know how to fight for those rights. It's estimated 60 percent of Moroccan women are illiterate, a more prominent problem in the rural areas. YOUSSRA BENCHRIF, SINGLE, COLLEGE GRADUATE: Mentalities have improved, but we still have to work on it, and especially in poor areas. MATHUR: Youssra Benchrif comes from an economically better background. She's educated and aware of her new rights. BENCHRIF: I feel now so free, and I don't care about what people would say. MATHUR: Benchrif works at a university, will be pursuing her Ph.D. and lives on her own, which a few years ago would have raised eyebrows. BENCHRIF: A spirit of the Moudawana changed the mentality, so that is now -- people are -- especially women -- are more empowered. MATHUR: While many Moroccan men were in support of the changes, the new rights, including the right to property, is unsettling for some. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Young men, especially in my age, are very concerned about getting married, because they think if they get married, if they divorce, they have to share their fortune. BENCHRIF: From the side of men, there is just this fear of Moudawana, even if they didn't even read it, so they just say OK, it's -- it's a weapon now in women's hands. But it's not actually. It just gave them their natural rights. MATHUR: Natural rights for people like Benchrif to pursue her dreams, to protect young women like Mansouri from abuse. Natural rights that many women in this part of the world say are long overdue. Seema Mathur, Fez, Morocco, for CNN's INSIDE AFRICA. (END VIDEOTAPE) MCKENZIE: Such a fascinating and hopeful story from North Africa there. We'll have much more of INSIDE AFRICA right after the break. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) MCKENZIE: Welcome back to INSIDE AFRICA. One of East Africa's most famous musical exports is the Rwandan R&B artist Corneille. He left Rwanda in 1994 because of the genocide where he was orphaned, and moved to Canada, where he's had a flourishing musical career. Femi Oke met up with him during a studio session in New York. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) FEMI OKE, CNN ANCHOR: This is Corneille. Born in Germany, raised in Rwanda, and now living in Canada. The cosmopolitan artist has a huge Francophone following. Despite the adoration from his fans, he hates being in the limelight. (on camera): You're almost an anti-celebrity celebrity. CORNEIILLE, R&B ARTIST: Yeah. OKE: It's -- it's like, "I'm famous, but I'm just going to have to suck it up." CORNEILLE: Yeah, that's basically what it is, which is weird, because a lot of people will say, oh, that's so, you know, so self-righteous. I think I'm in the wrong business, really. I think I have the talent for the wrong business. OKE: There is sex in your music. What can I say? Are you -- are you thinking about sex when you're writing it? CORNEILLE: I'm definitely not, I'm definitely not. There is something about my music that I guess is -- I guess that's what sex is, it's something very intimate about my music that comes out. Maybe that is what it is. OKE (voice over): I met up with Corneille in New York at a mixing session for his latest album. Now, during a break, he reminisced about his early years as a musician. CORNEILLE: That's a funny picture, because I didn't even remember it until maybe three years ago. I didn't remember ever having taken a picture where I was playing a guitar. And then when I saw it, it was so revealing to me. You know, at 10, I was listening to music, I was trying to figure out what the heck Michael Jackson was trying to say, you know, and just like phonetically imitate whatever he was saying. And I started getting interested in writing my own songs, and then I had a little band back in Rwanda when I was 16, and then, you know, gradually I turned into the -- the musician and the artist that I am today. OKE: When Corneille tells his story, he doesn't talk about the reason he left Rwanda. He suggests that I do it. So, I gently asked him to tell me what he can. CORNEILLE: I was raised in Rwanda. Both my parents are from Rwanda. And as everyone knows, in 1994, the genocide happened, and I lost my entire family during the genocide. People went nuts. I survived by some magical way -- I guess it wasn't my time -- but I stayed in Kigali, the capital, for the entire time the genocide was taking place. OKE: Corneille managed to escape from Rwanda. He's never returned. He wrote the track "I'll Never Call You Home Again" to explain his reasons for not wanting to. CORNEILLE: I don't think it was proper to say I'm angry. The pain is deep enough for me to say I don't want to go back, and I don't really care what the world expects of me. When I did say that out loud, I -- it freed me from such an incredible pressure, and a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders, and I wrote the song. It looks like, you know, my story is horrible. It's not the worst story out there. It really isn't. It really isn't. There is people suffer more from a lack of love. I'll never lack love. OKE: After spending an afternoon with Corneille, I realized that it's not sex I heard in his music, it's love. Femi Oke for INSIDE AFRICA, New York. (END VIDEOTAPE) MCKENZIE: That's a positive note to end on. Be sure to join us next week on INSIDE AFRICA, where Isha Sesay will interview Bela Fleck and Toumani Diabate. They've been touring together, and we'll let them play us out now. Thanks for watching. END

Ultrasound at 7 weeks
I am 7 weeks pregnant and I had my first doc appt this morning. I said I did not want a trans-vaginal ultrasound, just the regular abdominal one, and I was told that they would not be able to see anything at this stage... I know at least two persons who have had the regular ultrasound done at 6 and 7 weeks. This denial to provide me with what I wanted from the exam is kind of making me think to change the doctor. Any opinions?

I had the crap scared out of my when I was given an abdominal! Its was a a pregnancy resource place where I live. They said "oh your could have an ectopic pregnancy" (tubal pregnancy) Not something I wanted to hear! So I ended up at the ER & I was 7 weeks! They even tried abdominal with no luck. Did the vaginal & there he was my little dot with a beating heart! Now I am 30 weeks & I can lay on my back & you can see him usually looks like his butt is in air!posted 11/30/2010 by Renee1029
Yes, the trans-virginal u/s is necessary this early. They do a lot more than just look at the baby during an u/s. they look at your ovaries and check for cysts and any other abnormalities that could harm you or the baby during development. They do many measurements line the sac size, baby size, etc and you can only get that with the TV u/s. I know this post is long after your note, just wanted to comment for others who might have your concern.posted 07/17/2013 by klschult
It is possible, in theory, to see a baby & info at 7 weeks via an abdominal ultrasound, but it isnt possible to tell if the fetus is viable or hear a heartbeat... The vaginal ultrasound is the best way to do an early ultrasound.posted 11/30/2010 by JenniferAnne1976
I had the same method used on me at 7 weeks. At my 11 week ultrasound it was abdominal. Early in the 1st trimester that is the only way they can detect the heartbeat.posted 11/30/2010 by mandoosh
I didnt know how far along I was so I had an internal ultrasound at 7 weeks. I was told they couldnt see anything with the abdominal one until a certain point. It is totally your choice, but your doctor wouldnt offer you something that was unsafe. If you did make a request and your dr wouldnt at least let you see for yourself that they couldnt see anything I would be worried of what they may decline you of later in your pregnancy. I would probably change drs if mine told me no to something reasonable that I requested.posted 11/30/2010 by heathercolburn
Most techs will not perform abdominal ultrasounds until at least 10 weeks. Usually if an ultrasound is done before 10 weeks it is because of some concern about the mother and/or fetus and if anything can be seen it is not with any detail at all.posted 11/30/2010 by Mommy too many
at my 6 wk sono it was transvaginal, at my 10th wk sono it was abdominal, the tech told me at 6 wks u cant really see anything unless u do transvaginal. which was fine by me. im sure transdermal u can at 6wks however it would be as accurate as transvaginal.posted 11/30/2010 by malishka217
I had an abdominal one at 6 weeks 3 days, saw the sac and all that, and the heart fluttering, and even heard it.posted 12/01/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
They are wrong. I had a tummy ultrasound at 7 weeks and 2 days and you could see the heart beating and was even told the rate at 158. : ) change doctors! Goodluck!posted 11/29/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I had a ultrasound last week at 6weeks an couldnt see baby only the sac an the yolk. They tried the vaginal after and still couldnt see anything. I have to go back in 2weeks. I was told there would be a big change in 2weeks timeposted 01/10/2014 by hayleybourne81
