In the matter between:
The appellant was found guilty and sentenced on 18 February 2003 on three counts as follows: count 1, attempted murder, ten years direct imprisonment; count 2, rape, 15 years direct imprisonment; count 3, robbery, five years direct imprisonment. The trial court further ordered that counts 1 and 3 were to run concurrently. The appellant is therefore serving an effective sentence of 25 years imprisonment.
The appellant applied for leave to appeal against both conviction and sentence on 19 February 2008. Leave to appeal was granted against sentence only. He now pursues the appeal against sentence.
The main grounds of appeal against sentence are that the magistrate did not take into account the cumulative effect of the sentences imposed in respect of multiple counts flowing from one incident, that he disregarded the personal circumstances of the appellant and that the magistrate therefore erred in imposing a sentence which is shockingly inappropriate in the given circumstances.
The facts of the case appear from the judgment of the trial, Court which found that on 11 November 2000, at or near Delmar Street, Bellville South, the accused unlawfully and with intent assaulted the complainant, Ms Edwina Afrikaner by stabbing her, throwing her on the ground, kicking her, trampling her body and beating her with unknown objects and inflicting violence on her with intent to commit murder. At the same day and place each of the accused raped the complainant in turn. They also robbed her of her jewellery, clothes, dentures, shoes and gold earrings. The total value of these possessions was some R4 000,00.
All four accused had pleaded not guilty, but the Court found all four guilty as charged.
Accused No 3 appealed against his conviction and sentence, whilst accused No 4 initially appealed against his conviction only. Accused No 3s appeal against conviction succeeded, while No 4's conviction was confirmed, but his sentence was altered to an effective one of 18 years imprisonment. The reason for the partial success of the appeal was to counter the cumulative effects of the sentences, which, according to Veldhuizen, J "was buitensporig swaar".
The guidelines in appeals against sentence were set out succinctly in S v Maloas. 2001(1) SACR 469 (HAA)r where it was said:-
uThe test for interference in sentences on appeal were evolved in order to avoid subverting basic principles that are fundamental in our law of criminal procedure, namely that the imposition of sentence is the prerogative of the trial court for a good reason, and that it is not for appellate courts to interfere without the exercise of discretion unless it is convincingly shown that it has not been properly exercised. The adjectives, "shocking", "startling", "inappropriate" and the fike that have been employed to drive that point home should not
simply be appropriated indiscriminately for use in a situation which is very different."
Also, according to "Terblanche's Guide to Sentencing in South Africa" at page 138:-
"Conststency in sentencing has the basic function of requiring that similar sentences should be imposed when similarly placed offenders commit similar crimes/'
However, on page 139 the learned author states that:-
"Consistency does not require that exactly the same sentence should be imposed in similar cases."
Judgment of Veldhuizen, Judge, in the appeal of co-accused Nos 3 and 4, dealing as it does with the same offence, although different accused, has relevance in regard to the present appeal insofar as it may point towards an appropriate sentence and at the same time establish an expectation of consistency in the sentencing of the appellant and his fellow-accused. However, the mere fact that accused No 4s effective sentence was reduced to 18 years does not mean that the present appellant can expect the same result.
Accused's personal circumstances and his particular role in the offences must be taken into account.
One other guideline I consider relevant in this appeal is the view expressed in the case of R v Zonele and Others, 1959(3), SALRr page 319 (AD), where at page 330, it was said:-
"Gene rally speaking, previous convictions aggravate an offence because they tend to show that an accused has not been deterred by his previous punishments from committing the crime under consideration in a given case."
The questions, therefore, to be answered, are whether indeed the trial court properly took into account the cumulative effect of the sentences imposed in respect of multiple counts flowing from one incident, and also whether the personal circumstances of appellant were disregarded or not. The overall question is whether, in the circumstances, the trial court imposed a sentence which is disturbingly inappropriate.
The answer to the above questions can best be made by looking at the triad of the appellants personal circumstances, his rofe in the crimes of which he had been convicted, also the seriousness or otherwise of the offences, and the interests of the community.
reading of the record reveals that the appellant played a leading
role in the events of the day in question. It is also
clear from
the record that this was a brutal and violent gang- rape. The assault
on an innocent and defenceless woman
was particularly vicious.
appellant himself hit the complainant with a plank, kicked her head,
removed her clothing and was the first to rape her. Appellant
had six
previous convictions, including two for robbery. He had been released
on parole barely a month before he committed the
present offences.
Clearly this is a case where the interests of society must take
Personal circumstances of the appellant themselves are not remarkable, they are largely outweighed by the seriousness of the crimes and the interests of the community.
It appears from the record that the appellant was part of the so-called Fanta Kids Gang, or a gang of sorts anyway, a factor which acts as an aggravating circumstance as far as I consider the matter.
The Court must obviously consider whether there are any possible mitigating circumstances. The most compelling such factor to me is the fact that appellant had already been in custody for two years and three months as an awaiting-trial prisoner before sentencing.
Taking all these circumstances into account and in particular the fact that all three offences arose out of the same incident, I consider that the magistrate did indeed err in not giving sufficient weight to the cumulative effect of the sentences. I consider further that, notwithstanding the aggravating factors present, the effective sentence of 25 years is disturbingly inappropriate, with the result that this Court is entitled to interfere with the sentence.
Taking into account the seriousness of the crime and the interests of society which requires protection against, in particular, brutal and violent crimes against women and children, I consider that an appropriate effective sentence would be one of 20 (TWENTY) YEARS IMPRISONMENT. In the result, I would allow the appeal and make the following order:-
The appeal against sentence is UPHELD.
The sentences of 10, 15 and five years imprisonment imposed on counts 1, 2 and 3 respectively are confirmed, but it is ordered that the sentence imposed on count 3 will run concurrently with that imposed on count 2, whilst five years of the sentence imposed on count 1 will afso run concurrently with the sentence imposed on count 2r thereby producing an effective sentence of 20 (TWENTY) YEARS IMPRISONMENT.
I agree and it is so ordered

"Time out" is a technique used by parents and teachers in response to undesired behavior in a child. It involves removing the child from the environment and activities in which the inappropriate behavior occurred, and placing the child in a specific place for a specific amount of time. During time out, the child is expected to be quiet and reflect on the behavior.
Time out is an effective disciplinary technique in which no physical punishment is used. Professionals report that avoiding use of physical punishment may help prevent children from learning that physical violence or infliction of physical pain is the key to achieving desired results.
Children learn to avoid time out by ceasing the behaviors that have caused previous time outs or those that result in such warnings.
1) Find a place in your home that will be suitable for time out. A chair in the hallway or a corner will work. It should be a place that is not too closed-off, dark, or scary. It should also be a place that has no potential for fun, such as in front of a TV or in a play area.
2) Get a timer that makes a loud noise, and establish the amount of time to be spent in time out. It is generally recommended to do 1 minute per year of age, but no more than 5 minutes.
3) Once your child shows bad behavior, give a clear explanation of what the unacceptable behavior is, and tell the child to stop it. Warn the child of the consequences for not stopping the behavior -- sitting in the chair for a time out. Be ready with praise if your child stops the behavior.
4) If the behavior does not stop, tell the child to go to time out. Tell the child why -- make sure the rules are understood. Only say it once, and do not lose your temper. By yelling and nagging, you are giving the child (and the behavior) too much attention. You may guide the child to the time out spot with as much physical force as necessary (even picking the child up and placing him or her in the chair). Never spank or physically hurt your child. If your child will not stay in the chair, hold the child from behind. Do not speak, as this is giving the child attention.
5) Set the timer. If the child makes noise or misbehaves, reset the timer. If the child gets off the time out chair, lead the child back to the chair and reset the timer. The child must be quiet and well-behaved until the timer goes off.
6) After the timer rings, your child may get up and resume activities. Do not hold a grudge -- let the issue go. Since your child has served the time, there is no need to continue to discuss the bad behavior.

Meanwhile, Mr. Cox flashed the OK sign, passed out party favors, and raved out till 2013.

The Thompson Miami Beach Hotel Now Taking Reservations for November 14
True to their word, Thompson Miami Beach is actually opening later this year--in late October with reservations now being accepted online for November 14.
Located at 4041 Collins Avenue in a former condo building, the newest Thompson Hotel will have 380 hotel rooms featuring "beach-inspired accommodations and mid-century, international resort style." Designer Martin Brudnizki has been working on the design which will (of course) preserve the building's Art Deco flair and 1950s architecture.
And as we mentioned back in May, the Thompson will also have two pools, a small spa, three bars , including a speakeasy in a bungalow, and a 267-seat "classic brasserie" from James Beard Foundation Award-winning chef and Miami native Michelle Bernstein.
Room rates for November 14 are rather reasonable starting at $314 for an advanced purchase rate (no refunds) and $339 for a regular rate. That would be for a deluxe king room with custom-made 400 thread count SFERRA linens, rain showers in the bathroom, oversized Frette terrycloth robes, a 42� flat screen television with movie library, a gourmet mini-bar and a 24-hour in-room dining service.
Below is a snapshot of a model room, as posted on the hotel's website....

Along the Water, The Aloft Miami Beach is Slowly Coming Together
Our Miami Beach tipster has returned with some new shots of the upcoming Aloft Hotel in Miami Beach on way north Collins Avenue.
The latest Starwood hotel to hit Miami won't open until March 19, 2015 and judging by the pictures, we're even a little skeptical of that date. Yet it is interesting to see how Aloft is updating the old Motel Arkana, keeping much of the motel's existing structure but also adding another tower adjacent to the lot. (See the rendering on the Aloft Miami Beach website to get a better idea of how it will look.)

The Miami Beach Edition is Looking Good as Its November Opening Nears
Now that you can make a reservation at the upcoming Miami Beach EDITION, opening in January November, let's take a look at how the construction on the property is progressing.
A tipster on the ground in Miami Beach snapped these shots for us a few weeks ago and all we can say is WHOA. Like, in a good way. WHOA.
Of course, there still is a lot of work to be done but it is looking rather crazysexycool already. For comparison, here's what the hotel looked like back in February 2012.

[UPDATED] It's Time To Book Your Room at The Miami Beach EDITION, Opening in November
Ladies and Gents, pull out your credit cards. The Miami Beach Edition is now taking reservations.
We got the email alert in our inbox today (although it was announced on Facebook yesterday) and quickly clicked over to the site. There we discovered that while the hotel will "premiere" in November, rooms aren't actually available until January 19, 2015. (UPDATE: We've been told that the hotel is definitely opening in November and that the reservations will get moved up as the opening date gets closer.) For now, rates on that opening Monday in January start at $579 a night for a standard king room. Someone pass us the smelling salts.

At Last! The Hilton Cabana Beach Miami is Now Open
Finalmente! The Hilton Cabana Miami Beach has officially opened.
The beachfront property on (way north) Collins Ave was set to open in December but that was quickly pushed off until March. Then we sort of lost track. But now we've got word that it's really open.
The 10-story Art Deco building has 231 guest rooms and suites spread out over Cabana-style buildings, hence the hotel name. Most of the rooms will have balconies from which you can gaze at either the sea or the pool. We dig the orange stripes and the cheeky photograph of two ladies fishing.)
In-room amenities include 42-inch flat-screen TVs, walk-in showers, large work desks, room service from 6am to midnight and complimentary WiFi (well, it's part of the $20 resort fee. ) Also onsite are two pools; the Brasserie L'echon, an all-day dining spot; a lobby bar and both a business and fitness center.
Right now, room rates this weekend start at just $199 a night for a room with two queen beds. Gotta love Miami in the off-season!

The Thompson Hotel in Miami Beach is Finally Happening
The Miami hotel scene shows absolutely no signs of slowing down and now there's another big name in boutique to add into the mix--Thompson Miami Beach.
Thompson, under its former owners, tried to make the Hotel Victor their original Miami hotspot but the brand's new owners, Commune Hotels and Resorts decided to attach themselves to a different project.
Located at 4041 Collins Avenue in a former cone building, close-ish to the raging hotspot that is the Fontainbleau, the Thompson Hotel will have 380 hotel rooms featuring "beach-inspired accommodations and mid-century, international resort style." Designer Martin Brudnizki is in charge of the design which will (of course) preserve the building's Art Deco flair and 1950s architecture.
The Thompson will also have two pools, a small spa, three bars and a 267-seat "classic brasserie" from James Beard Foundation Award-winning chef and Miami native Michelle Bernstein.

Freehand Miami to Get More Hands, er, Rooms
The Freehand Miami won over HotelChatter contributor JetSetCD last year with their "funky fresh" hostel rooms and amenities, all at a very reasonable rate ($21 a night for a shared bunk room when JetSetCD was there) And it looks like other folks have been equally impressed because the Freehand just expanded its property.
The hostel acquired the building next door and has opened it up as the "Guest House" with nine Private King Rooms, five King Suites (a new room type) and one private Bungalow which can sleep four.
The Guest House is accessible through the existing Freehand courtyard so the lobby, the Broken Shaker bar and the pool aren't very far away at all. It's also across from the building that will house the Freehand's restaurant, which still hasn't opened but we're hearing it should debut later this year.
Rooms in the Guest House start this weekend at $60 for a dorm room and $224 for a private king room.

The Metropolitan by COMO in Miami Beach is Now Open for Your Wellness Retreats
At long last and a few delays, the Metropolitan by COMO in Miami Beach has opened its doors (on March 3rd to be exact.) And it wouldn't be a hotel opening without a Facebook page showing off some opening photos.
For starters, we're loving the elevator lobby with its bold lighting fixtures. We're also drooling over the fare from the Traymore restaurant and the serene pool scene. Oddly, the Facebook page doesn't have any photos of the guest room. You'll have to head over to the hotel's website for those.
All in all, the beachfront hotel has just 74 rooms with interiors done by Italian designer Paola Navrone using "pastel pink and sea-foam green" which sounds like it could be terribly wrong but actually looks so perfectly right. Simple but definitely stylish.

The Hilton Cabana Miami Beach Will Open on December 16th
When we put together our The Master List of Worldwide Hotel Openings at the start of the year, we had a little bit of a mystery with the Hilton Cabana Miami Beach. At the time, we couldn't find out much information on this spot, only that it would open in Q3. But a lot can change in a year.
Not only does the hotel have website but we've heard that it will be soft-opening on December 16th.
The 10-story Art Deco building is located on Collins Avenue at 62nd Street (way north) but it's got prime beachfront property along Millionaire's Row. When finished, the hotel will have 231 guestrooms and a variety of suites spread out over Cabana-style buildings. Most of the rooms will have balconies from which you can gaze at either the sea or the pool. (We're digging the orange stripes and the cheeky photograph of two ladies fishing.) Also onsite will be two pools, Brasserie L'echon, an all-day dining spot, a lobby bar and both a business and fitness center.

A Sale May Be Pending But It's Sexy Business as Usual at The Fontainebleau
UPDATE 9.6.13: A rep for the hotel emailed us to say, "We're having our most successful year on record since reopening in 2008. We're averaging over 80% occupancy a year and have the highest revenues in the history of Fontainebleau. In fact, Fontainebleau is one of the most profitable non-casino hotels in the world." In other words, party on.
It's unbelievable that even in the face of financial troubles, Miami Beach's legendary Fontainebleau is still partying like all's right in the world.
The hotel capped off their summer of BleauLive concertsthis past weekend with a performance by singer Robin Thicke and Grammy-winning producer/musician Pharrell Williams. The duo took to the stage and performed their monster summer hit, "Blurred Lines."
Meanwhile, the details are equally blurry regarding the upcoming sale of The Fontainebleau to South Florida developer Turnberry Ltd. Dubai World, who has 50 percent stake in the hotel, has already unloaded other assets to repay $25 billion worth of debts, with the SoBe hotel the most recent on the chopping block.
According to an article in Reuters, the sale of the hotel will be completed in a few weeks, but the price is being kept hush hush according to their source, and Dubai World's spokesman would not comment.

Will Marriott Be a Sore Loser After Eden Roc Lawsuit Drama?
It's been about a year since trouble first started brewing down at Miami's famed Eden Roc Hotel. The property, which has been around since the 1950s, is managed by Marriott, but the relationship between Marriott and the hotel's owners was bad. So bad, in fact, that the hotel tried to boot Marriott from the premises during an after-dark siege. Serious drama, right?.
A judge (who happened to be a self-professed Eden Roc "fan"") declared back in November that Marriott has the legal right to remain as manager of the hotel.
Or should we say, 'had.'
Yesterday, the hotel's attorney announced that Eden Roc has won in a New York Appellate court the right to oust Marriott as manager of the property. The attorney called it "a vindication," and believes the outcome of this bitter lawsuit will help settle future disputes between hotel owners and management:
"A hotel manager is barred from commandeering a property against the owner�s wishes.��Any doubts in that regard have been laid to rest."

Inside Freehand Miami: At $21 a Night, It's More Than A'ight
Inside an 8-bed room
No one ever got anywhere by calling something a "revolutionary concept." That phrase is played out right along with "funky fresh." Instead let us say this: if Freehand Miami plays its cards right and doesn't get too big for its britches (double idiom sentence!), it has the real potential to be crazy awesome and quickly multiply to conquer cities beyond Miami. Oh wait, that's exactly their plan (for 10 properties!), so what you're about to read is the future, baby.
The Freehand is a hostel with some private rooms and it's not trying to hide that fact. It is, however, a fancy hostel with an interior by Roman & Williams, staff uniforms designed by Timo Weiland, artwork by local Miami artists, and cocktails by Bar Lab.
Shared bunk rooms start at $21 a night (per person), while private rooms begin at $109 (per room). Beyond the rooms (8-bunk, 4-bunk, private king) the Freehand benefits from an inviting lobby, a bar (The Broken Shaker), back garden courtyard, a lovely pool, a side garden of table tennis and other yard games and, eventually, there'll even be a restaurant.
We stayed for three nights at the beginning of Art Basel, the week of their debut, paying a total of $122 for two people in the coed 8-bed room. We were however "upgraded" to a 4-bed room as the 8-beds weren't totally ready.

Birth is quite a journey and it can leave its mark upon your baby – quite literally! Get the lowdown on baby birthmarks…
Sometimes babies are born with marks on their skin, most will fade while others will be permanent.
There are several different kinds of birthmarks:
Vascular birthmarks are caused by bunches of red blood vessels under the skin. Port wine stains are caused either by a lack of smooth muscle lining around thin walled blood vessels, or by a lack of nerve fibres to the blood vessels.
They won't cause your baby any discomfort but a port-wine stain around the eye should be monitored by a doctor to make sure it doesn't cause any problems with vision. Talk to your midwife if you have any worries.
You don't need to do anything to care for birthmarks. Stork marks and strawberry birthmarks usually fade within about two years. Port-wine stains are permanent, although they tend to fade over time and can be reduced with laser treatment.

Noe Garza and friends drum fishing Previous Next DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES At the Meadows we drifted in clear water with Alameda Rattling Floats and live shrimp. We caught mostly drum and trout with a nice redfish. DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES The pace was brisk during most of the three hours spent catching black drum near Yarborough, with several doubles landed simultaneously. DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Most of the drum we caught were between 16 and 22 inches this past week south of Baffin Bay. DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES The fish we caught appeared healthy inside and out, which is welcomed news following a recent spell of emaciated drum. DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Noe Garza scoops another drum from the waters of Yarborough for Joe Gallegos of Alice. DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Joe Gallegos prepares to box another black drum during a recent fishing trip south of Baffin Bay. DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES We took home 20 drum, along with a few redfish and trout, last Monday on a conservation trip with Noe Garza, who is bent on reducing the drum population so they don't starve. DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Chano Alaniz catches another nice drum with the help of Noe Garza this past week near the old Yarborough Pass area. DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Brown pelicans last Monday had few opportunities for handouts. They looked eager when we showed up at Billing's to clean fish. DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Chano Alaniz of San Diego caught the biggest redfish of the day, along with the most hardheads, while fishing south of Baffin Bay this past week with Noe Garza. DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Chano Alaniz caught the biggest redfish of the day while drifting the Meadows. Rory Hastings of Stockdale reels in another black drum from the stern of Noe Garza's Stoner Skiff. DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Rory Hastings enjoys a relaxing break from the Eagle Ford Shale oil patch. Fishing was good and the weather was fair for January. DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Sunrise over Padre Island as seen from the Upper Laguna Madre this past week. DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Rory Hastings caught the biggest trout of the day. It was a healthy one at nearly 20 inches. DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES The white pelicans at Billing's Marina outnumbered the brown. They're bigger too. And equally lazy when it comes to handouts at fish-cleaning stations.

Introducing The Hermès Dressage Chronograph (Live Pics & Pricing)
Last year at Basel World, Hermès offered up the Dressage watch with an in-house H.1925 automatic movement. Well, this year Hermès has taken the Dressage a step further, adding a Dubois-Depraz chronograph movement to the H1925 giving us the elegant Dressage Chronograph. As you would expect from Hermès, the details on this one are handled wonderfully.

Where you want it, when you need it
Posted in Newsletter. Written by admin on November 5th, 2011
November 2011 Newsletter
This month we feature an unsung hero in our product line – the Studio Vu and the many versatile uses for this hefty device. Plus, read about photographer Brad Moore and the new Tether Tools product that's named for him! We also have a brief gifting guide to get your holiday wish list started and a great video on tethered photography featuring Frank Doorhof.
Enjoy the newsletter!
- Tether Tools Team
The Tether Tools Studio Vu Monitor Bracket was first released in March as a solution for videographers and photographers who wanted to shoot tethered to a large monitor, iMac or Cinema Display. As with many of our mounting solutions – our customers put the Studio Vu to even more uses that work for their business. Photo and video pros like the Studio Vu system because it's versatile, adaptable and extremely stable – something we're sure you'll appreciate if you've ever invested in an iMac or any large monitor! Here are some of the uses we've discovered for the Studio Vu system:
Do you have the Studio Vu system? If so, tell us how you use it and you could be featured on our Facebook page.
Many of our new products are developed specifically at the request of our customers. We love the challenge of helping solve a problem that will make photographers lives easier, your shooting more efficient and your gear more secure. So when we were approached by one of the world's busiest photo assistants, who needed a better way to secure his laptop power pack to his tethered shooting set-up, we set out to solve his – and perhaps your – challenge.
Ever wish a tripod or light stand had arms so it could hold more than just a camera or light? Now it can. The StrapMoore is a handy contraption that secures to the leg of any tripod, light stand, table or chair. Its interior GripperElastic® straps allow you to secure just about anything you need near your camera or computer – like a laptop power brick, charger, phone, off-camera flash or any other item that needs a secure home in your workflow. The two securing straps and the holding strap are all adjustable so it can easily grip small and large equipment. Oh, and did we mention it's named after this month's Photographer Spotlight?
Brad Moore is a photographer based in Tampa whose love for music is the basis of his active photography career. When he's not shooting concerts, he works with Scott Kelby and the gang at Kelby Media Group as Scott's photo assistant and photo studio manager. Brad also has been a contributing photographer to some of Scott's best-selling books, including The Digital Photography Book Set. Before moving to Florida, he worked as an assistant to Joe McNally on jobs for National Geographic, Spots Illustrated, Golf Digest and more. Read more about Brad's work and how having a product named after him changed his life.
The holidays are just around the corner. Have you made your list yet? Not to worry, we've got you covered. Whether you're looking for a gift for the photographer in your life or searching for a way to send a helpful hint to friends and family, here are our suggestions for Tether Tools gifts on every budget.

All amounts paid by the Advertiser after the due date will bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) above the base lending rate of AIB Plc, from time to time, from the date when payment was due until the date of payment is received.
In the event of any failure by the Advertiser to make payment, the Advertiser will be responsible for all expenses (including legal fees) incurred by Adforce in collecting the amounts due. The Advertiser warrants that it contracts with Adforce as principal notwithstanding that the Advertiser may be acting as an advertising agency or media buyer or in some other representative capacity.

Adforce provides the Advertiser with estimated usage statistics only as a courtesy to the Advertiser and Adforce will not be held liable for any claims relating to any usage statistics however supplied.
The Advertiser acknowledges that delivery statistics provided by Adforce are the official, definitive measurements of Adforce performance on any delivery obligations provided in the Order. No other measurements or usage statistics (including those of the Advertiser or a third party ad server) will be accepted by Adforce or have bearing on this Agreement. If required, Advertiser shall, at their own expense, be allowed a bi-annual review of the Adforce's logs that support the delivery statistics.
Except as expressly set out in the Order, any renewal of the Order and acceptance of any additional advertising order will be at Adforce's sole discretion. The rates applicable to such renewal period (if any) are subject to change by Adforce from time to time in its absolute discretion.
The Advertiser may not resell, assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder, and any attempt to resell, assign or transfer such rights will entitle Adforce to terminate this contract immediately, without liability on the part of Adforce.

6.2 Other than as set out above, Adforce shall not be liable for any unavailability or inoperability of the mobile internet, WAP gateway, internet, technical malfunction, technical delay, computer error, corruption or loss of information. In no event will Adforce be responsible for any indirect, consequential, special or economic loss of any kind including without limitation loss of profits, business, contracts, revenues, goodwill, production and anticipated savings arising from any failure to publish in a timely manner or at all any advertisement in accordance with the Order.
6.3 Without limiting the foregoing, Adforce will have no liability for any failure or delay resulting from any governmental action, fire, flood, insurrection, earthquake, power failure, riot, explosion, embargo, strikes whether legal or illegal, labour or material shortage, transportation interruption of any kind, work slowdown or any other condition beyond the control of Adforce affecting production or delivery in any manner.
6.4 Adforce does not limit or exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence.
6.5 Each of the provisions of this clause 6 are to be construed separately and independently of the other, and if any provision of this clause 6 (or any other clause herein) is found by any court or other judicial body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision will not affect the other provisions of this clause 6 (or any other clause herein) which will remain in full force and effect.

Yeah, sorry for being so awol, but I have to read your story in short bursts, and given the speed of your updates, and the length of your posts, I'm afraid I must admit I haven't tried to catch up in a few weeks. Doing my own story gives me little time to work with someone else's.Thy Obsessive Freak wrote:So hopefully this idea won't be as quickly abandoned as my other ones as it's an ambitious idea that I'm not just doing for fun (But it's pretty fun re-exploring my own fantasy world again and the characters I do find great).

If you think marketing isn't a key issue for start-ups, think again. If you fail to make enough sales, you won't survive. And unless you've got customers beating a path to your door each day, without marketing, you won't make sales. Simple.
It's a common misconception, but marketing involves much more than advertising, publicity or selling.
The Chartered Institute of Marketing defines marketing as: 'The management process responsible for identifying, anticipating and satisfying customer requirements profitably'.
Rather easier to understand is the organisation's explanation that marketing seeks to get 'the right product or service to the customer at the right price, at the right time.' And that: 'Without proper marketing, companies cannot get close to customers and satisfy their needs.'
Effective marketing is underpinned by sound knowledge of (potential) customers and competitors. Only by knowing your customers' needs, wants and aspirations can you hope to satisfy or delight them – and possibly even lure them away from your competitors.
Carrying out market research for your start-up business needn't be complex or expensive. Finding the answer to the most basic facts is key and a simple conversation with potential customers can reveal much. You need to find out what they think about your products and prices.
Market research isn't complete unless you weigh up the competition, of course. This, too, can be achieved quickly and at little cost. Simply looking through your local paper or business directory or carrying out a quick Google search can reveal a great deal of valuable information.
Market research can enable you to tailor your offer to fit a gap in the market ('niche'). Being the best supplier within your niche (or one of them) should be high up on your list of ambitions. It's a well-worn route to success. Remaining close to your customers enables you to stay in tune with their needs.
And you're more likely to succeed if you have a marketing plan, which sets out your objectives and explains your marketing strategy.
Marketing success is underpinned by the Four Ps: Product; Price; Place (ie distribution channel); and Promotion.
Together, they form the 'Marketing Mix'. Get it right and you'll maximise the success of your marketing efforts. You also need powerful messages and a unique selling proposition that convinces customers to buy from you.
You must promote your business effectively and it's a never ending task. Key options include advertising (online and offline), direct mail, point of sale display, public relations (PR), word of mouth and networking. The most potent promotion comes from the mouths of satisfied customers, so it pays to ensure your customers are delighted.
In business, the ability to convince customers to spend is arguably the most valuable skill. To some small-business owners, it comes naturally. Others get better with time. There are a number of techniques that can be learned, but you need to be able to recognise buying signals and close the sale.
Marketing isn't something you do occasionally, it must be part of the everyday fabric of your business. You need to assess your sales and marketing activity continually, learn from your mistakes, build on your successes – and remain open to new methods.

Realanonymous Flyers Update: Either Us Or The Islanders
The Hockey Gods are finally rewarding me for all the slaughtered lambs I've been murder-sacrificing on my lawn for the last month. Halleluha. Holy shit. The Flyers are finally catching some bounces and are winning some crucial games to stay on the playoff bubble. I'm convinced that Wayne Simmonds' skates are touched by little hockey angels, riding little angelic zambonis in hockey heaven. Plus, Crosby broke his jaw, the Rangers traded Gaborik, and Kovalchuk is still a long ways away from returning from his bum shoulder. It's like the Atlantic Division Sea is parting down the middle for either the Flyers or the Islanders to dangle right into the promised land. But fuck the Islanders. They'll always be two years away from being good. It's the Flyers that were chosen by sweet little Canadien baby infant Jesus to be awesome and win Stanley Cups!
Looking forward to this game tonight like I haven't in a long time. I'm using binoculars over here, that's how forward my looking is. Toronto is a surprise playoff team this year that has beaten the Flyers twice already. JVR hasn't scored in ten games, but this Kadri kid is finally living up to his hype and is torching the score sheet. They hit hard and they score a lot. It's gonna be a tough test coming off a game last night, but a huge road win would be great boost in confidence and morale for the Flyers as they fight to stay alive while closing out the final act of this season.
Besides getting a whiff of Steve Mason, I want to see if our new gorilla beast, Rosehill, has any impact on the game. The Flyers have a lot stacked up against them, including a severely depleted defense, but this set back has been a major opportunity for Gustafsson to showcase his talents. I'm looking for Scott Hartnell to ramp up his offensive game, and I also want to see a couple bullshit goals go our way tonight. A nice 5-0 win on the road would be nice. Let's make a run.

Jay-Z – What More Can I Say
Young, Hova the God, nigga. Blasphemy/ I'm at the Trump International: ask for me/ I ain't never scared. I'm everywhere, you ain't never there
Jay-Z, ready to declare his "retirement", asks everyone "What More Can I Say." After multiple platinum albums, having a minority stake in the now Brooklyn Nets, and impacting rap and pop culture like no other, he really has nothing else to say to prove his worth to people. Pound for pound he is the best. And if anyone disagrees, they can definitely come to Jay-Z and ask for him. However, they will need to go visit him at the Trump International. The Trump International is not an ordinary hotel. It's where the big dogs roll. Just visiting him at the Trump is not enough to know that he has done it all. He is the God MC and blasphemous for his brash delivery. But if there are still critics, all they need to realize is that he is everywhere that they have never been.
Donald Trump has managed to market himself through real estate, TV, movies, and even politics. His name is synonymous with wealth, money and status. He has truly transformed his name into a brand. And this brand is enough to show status and success. Especially for Jay-Z, who ends up coming back from retirement and turning his personal brand into something out of this world and unimaginable. Looks like Jay-Z did in fact have more to say after releasing "The Black Album."

Individual Counseling
I see the body in particular as a portal to greater understanding of the mind. By combining the traditions of somatics, early attachment dynamics and relational psychotherapy I support the client in transformation by allowing the body's subtle ques to inform the direction of the therapeutic process.
My work as a psychotherapist with individuals aims to support the client in the following ways:
- Identifying personal strengths and resources that can support transformation.
- Seeing old defensive strategies that may impair growth and change.
- Supporting the client in letting go of behaviors and thinking that are self destructive or harmful to others.
- Building a repertoire of behavioral and mindfulness tools to help cope with issues such as depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, anger, illness and major life transitions.
- Trusting in core emotional experience that can unlock suffering and bring forth insight.

Cubbin Consulting -- Airlines Economics, Marketing, Safety, Training and Project Management
Airports are vulnerable to attack. The latest failed attempt in Glasgow is the tip of the iceburg. Airports, particularly in the U.S.A where guns are more readily available, are totally vulnerable to walk-in, shooting and bombing attacks. Why hasn't this happened yet? Mainly because the FBI has been doing a great job of intercepting terrorist cells. But, how long will our luck last? Terrorists have struck New York, Madrid, Bali, London, and Mumbai -- which city will be next? Recent reports of terrorist threats to hijack cargo airplanes, or foreign airliners, in the next few months have again raised the specter of how we must protect ourselves at all costs. But, how can we protect ourselves when terrorists attack the very place in which we live? Do you know how to confront terrorist activity? My advice may be the very essence of what saves your life and the lives of other passengers.
I foresaw the probability of another attack on our airports, like the shooting attack in LAX on July 4, 2002, and had warned both the FBI and TSA of the possibility. Despite my warnings, and the attack, the Transportation Security Administration still has not made airports sufficiently safe. For example, a simple, shoulder-fired missile from an airport perimeter could bring down a jetliner and devastate an already bleeding airline industry.

NOOO! I'M GAY!!!! That's what I thought when it finally became clear. somewhere, deep inside my conciousness, I discovered that I was fantasizing about a friend of mine. HIS name was Isaac. I was so freaked out. I didn't believe it for a long time. until I went to another friends house. that other friend was a strange one. when I got there he said "come on, you've gotta see this!" and it turned out he was on a porn site!!! I sheilded my eyes, very embarassed, but when I peeked through, I saw one boy in all of it. A boy was stripping and I know it's awful to see that kind of thing but it really turned me on. another thing popped up (so many popups) and it was two guys making out. I really felt disgusted. and I really liked it. It finally just popped into my brain "get over it. This is not something you'll be able to change. but still, gays are human. so get over it and be yourself."
to be continued...
(although many of these things will be more recent, I may write what I went through in the past some, but it wil be more about my newer experiances.)
my friend was not gay, and it was my logic side of my brain that spoke (hence the name)

My dad gave me a trial tennis ball version, and I fell in love. This moisturizes better than anything I've used, and it tastes deliciously like candy. I put it on at night, b/c I won't mess with it while I sleep. When I wake up, I still taste the candiness, so it's got long wear! And it makes my lips feel so soft.
I don't mind the price ($12 for 3-pack): They give a good amount. The only downside to this is that I have to stick my finger in it. But more people need to try this lip balm. Seriously.

Love, love, loooove this! I've had two of these for, maybe, 4 years and neither of them are close to running out. Yummy scent and taste, super moisturizing, cute designs on the packaging. I keep this in my school bag, since the fall winds have been doing damage to my lips. Some people might be bothered by the screw-apart sphere that you dip your finger in, but it doesn't bother me :) Definitely going to repurchase if I ever run out!

I absolutely love this lip balm...it's shiny enough to be pretty but just balm-y enough to look natural. This is the HG of lip balms. It is SUPER moisturizing. I have been on 60mg Accutane for 20 weeks (for those ladies who know, you'll really appreciate his next bit...) and I NEVER had dry lips as long as I used this stuff. Never. This balm is THICK, smells fine (nothing to write home about, but not nasty either), has an SPF, and lasts quite a while. I can go to bed wearing it and wake up with moist, soft, supple lips. I have noticed, however, as other reviewers have said, there's a tingling sensation sometimes. I don't get it every time, though. I also don't like dipping my fingers into the pot of balm...I think it's kinda gross.

i'm not gonna lie, i really wanted to LOVE this lipgloss. but unfortunately, there is something i just can't get past. even with all the oils and butters and vitamins in this, the balm BURNS the living life out of my poor lips. i know this has not just happened to me, because i have read elsewhere that other people have also experienced a burning sensation. lip balms are supposed to be calming...cooling SOOTHING! i don't put on a lip balm when i want my lips to burn. i gave this 2 lippies because the design is nice and the SPF is a nice touch. also, i found this pricy at 8 bucks for this little ball. i just can't get past the burning. lip balms are supposed to soothe...
UPDATE: the burning sensation has weirdly stopped, but i just get a sort of tingle now that i don't really mind...truth is this DOES hydrate very well, and i really like the taste and smell. so i will bumps this up to 4 lippies. i will buy this again, if i can find this.

My favorite lip balm of all time! It is a premium lip balm and has spf 20 which is plus. It has a nice vanilla smell. By the way it only comes in vanilla.
The packaging is so cute. Which is the main reason I got it. It is shaped like a ball and they come in in different designs. I have the 'carnaval in rio' one. They are really hard to find though. I got mine in Bermuda for $10 but you can order it online. It was also on Oprah's Favorite Things episode in 2008 (i believe that was the year).
If you can get it, it is great. One ball is like 2 sticks of regular lip balm.

This is my favorite lip balm of all time! It contains no petroleum products so I'm not allergic to it :) It also smells great, tastes great, lasts for hours on your lips, and for close to a year in the ball with daily application. I've even used it as a barrier for dying lashes and brows in place of Vaseline. This product is a must have that I can't live without. It also has spf 20 in it which makes it even better.

Age: Unknown Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium Hair: Blond Eyes: Green
Don't be turned off by the initial stickiness of this product! After a few minutes the tackiness fades away and your lips are left feeling as soft as a baby butt.
- the vanilla creme flavor tastes legit, not nasty like most lipbalms w/SPF
- the brightly colored balls are easy to find in a bag/purse, and they're fun!
- the most long-lasting lipbalm I have ever used. It literally stays on for hours, even after eating! And I have tried probably fifty different lip treatments (high & low end).
- doesn't just soothe while it's ON the lips, actually HEALS dryness. I usually have pretty dry lips, but they have been consistently moisturized/soft since I started using this product. My friend suffers from horrible dry lips (we're talking constant flaking/peeling/discomfort) and she says her lips have never felt better since discovering this!
- the screw ball is sometimes difficult to close (that's why I took off 1 lip for quality). The one my friend has even feels like it needs some oil or WD40 - as it is very "stiff" and hard to close AND open. Not a big deal.
I will definitely repurchase. I even see that they now come in tinted versions online.
I bought two new balls of this stuff and apparently they have fixed the packaging. Each one now easily opens and closes. This is officially the best lipbalm ever created :)
