Description This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 792,519, filed on Oct. 29, 1985, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,727,120. Polypropylenes grafted with an unsaturated monomer bearing an acid anhydride group are known for their adhesive properties which are attributed to the polar groups contributed by this monomer. It is also known that a restricted concentration of these polar groups is sufficient to impart good adhesive properties to many substrates. However, for reasons of convenience in use, grafted polypropylenes (PPgs) can be diluted in a polyolefin (U.S. Pat. No. 3,856,889). The mixtures have the advantage of the good physical and mechanical properties of the diluent polyolefin and are better in this respect than the PPgs which they contain. Attempts have been made to increase the adhesive properties of polypropylene grafted with maleic anhydride; thus, with this aim in mind, Japanese Application No. 80/40,396 of Mar. 31, 1980, Publ. 81,136,833 claims the addition of an epoxidized fatty acid glyceride to this polymer. We have found that it is possible to greatly increase the adhesive properties of PPgs, alone or mixed with one or more polyolefins, by adding to them a compound, which may be polymeric, bearing at least two groups, which may be identical and which are reactive with the acid anhydride group. The compounds which are reactive with the acid anhydride group will be referred to hereinafter as "compound R", and may have at least two alcohol groups, at least two amine groups or at least one of an alcohol group and an amine group. The compound can be a diol, a triol, a tetraol or the like, a diamine, a triamine, a tetraamine or the like, or a compound containing an alcohol group and an amine group or two amine groups and an alcohol group or two alcohol groups and an anine group and the like. By "grafted polypropylenes" (PPgs) we mean any propylene homopolymer or copolymer with various monomers (whether they be block or random, provided that the copolymer contains at least 50 mol% of propylene) on which a monomer bearing an acid anhydride group has been grafted. The grafting monomer is a compound bearing at least one double bond which is active in radical polymerization and at least one five-centred cyclic acid anhydride group. By way of illustration, the grafting monomer can be maleic, citraconic, 2-methylmaleic, 2-chloromaleic, 2-carbomethoxymaleic, 2,3-dimethylmaleic, 2,3-dichloromaleic, 2,3-dicarbomethoxymaleic, bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-3n3-2,3-dicarboxylic, and 4-methylcyclohex-4-ene-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride, and the like. The list is provided by way of illustration and is not intended to be limiting in any way. The invention applied to PPgs, whatever their molecular weight. Many methods have been proposed for producing PPgs. Active sites may be prepared on the polypropylene chain by treatment with initiators of the peroxide or diazo type, or by electromagnetic treatment. The active sites are sites on which the anhydride will be grafted via a radical route. The polypropylene may be preactivated in a first step independently of the grafting and, in a second step, the preactivated polypropylene may be brought into contact with the grafting monomer. Activation and grafting may also be carried out simultaneously by subjecting a suspension of polypropylene powder in a liquid or a solution of polypropylene in a suitable solvent (U.S. Pat. No. 2,970,129) to the action of a peroxide; it is also possible to operate in a gas stream (U.S. Pat. No. 3,414,551). The liquid, solvent or gas stream contains the appropriate quantity of the grafting monomer as defined above. It is also possible to operate in a molten state. Among the useful compounds R, containing at least two alcohol groups are: ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,4-but-2-enediol, 4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-1-butanol, 1,2,6-hexanetriol, erythritol, sucrose, glucose, dihydroxyacetone, polyoxyalkylene glycols such as polyoxyethylene glycols, polyoxytetramethylene glycols of different molecular weights, hydroxylated derivatives of ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers, copolymers of ethylene witha comonomer bearing an alcohol group such as hydroxyethyl acrylate, and the like. The list is illustrative only and is not limiting in any way. Among the useful compounds R, containing at least two amine groups are: alpha,omega-diamino polyamide oligomers of various molecular weights, obtained by polycondensation, in the presence of a diamine, of a monomer giving rise to a polyamide, such as a salt of a diacid and a diamine (for example AH salt), an amino acid, a lactam such as caprolactam, lauryllactam, and the like. Particularly suitable are: alpha,omega-diamino polyamide 11 or 12 oligomers, the sythesis of which are described in French Patent Applications Nos. 83/15,859 and 84/13,244 in the name of the Assignee Company, the contents of said applications are incorporated herein by reference. alphatic or aromatic diamines such as hexamethylenediamine, nonamethylenediamine, undecamethylenediamine, dodecamethylenediamine, meta-xylylenediamine, bis-p-amino-cyclohexylmethane, and the like. The respective quantities of the two main constituents PPg and compound R which react together to give the adhesive compositions according to the invention will be such that their molarity ratio, MR, defined as follows: ##EQU1## The preparation of the adhesive compositions according to the invention can be carried out by simple melt-compounding of the grafted polypropylene, alone or mixed with a polyolefin, with the compound R. The dliuent polyolefin can be a propylene homopolymer, a block or random propylene/ethylene copolymer, or high density or low density polyethylene. Any apparatus for converting plastics which ensures good compounding is suitable, for preparing the adhesive composition of the present invention. Devices such as Buss or Brabender mixers, a single-screw extruder, or a double-screw extruder of the Werner and Pfleiderer type are useful. It is possible to carry out the operation in a simple autoclave. The converting devices can be fed with the two or three constituents (PPg with or without a polyolefin and R) delivered separately, or as a mixture, prepared beforehand by simple tumble-mixing or in a dry-mixing device. Fillers, colorants, and additives providing protection against aging by light, heat stabilizers, and the like can be introduced into the converting device along with the other constituents. The compounding takes place at temperatures between 160� and 250� C., preferably between 180� and 210� C. The reaction between PPg and compound R is fast. The reaction can be followed by infrared spectrography, by observing the characteristic vibration of the ester group at 1730 cm-1 when the compound R is an alcohol, or that of the amide group at 16050 cm-1 in the case of an amine-containing compound R. The adhesive forces obtained with the new compounds are measured as follows: polymer granules are arranged between two sheets of aluminum, 100 microns in thickness. The two sheets of aluminum with the polymer granules between them are placed between two plates heated at a temperature of 200� C.; a pressure of 4 bars is then applied for 5 minutes. The assembly is taken out and allowed to cool. After cooling, specimens 2 cm in width are cut out and T-peel tests are carried out by pulling the aluminum sheets at a speed of 50 mm/minute by means of a tensometer at ambient temperature. The adhesive compositions according to the invention can be employed for gluing materials other than the aluminum referred to above. Materials such as steel, copper, corrugated cardboard, wood, leather, cork, as well as plastics can be glued by use of the composition of the present invention. The following examples are by way of illustration and are not intended to be limiting in any way. Maleic anhydride was grafted onto a polypropylene homopolymer in the following manner: the following were introduced into an autoclave: 440 g of monochlorobenzene 96 g of Lacqtene 3050 FNI (polypropylene sold by ATOCHEM - melt index, ASTM D 1238 at 230� C. under 5 kg, equal to 5) 8 g of maleic anhydride 8.2 g of benzoyl peroxide. The mixture was maintained at a temperature of 130� C. for 3 hours and a 1.9% grafted PP was obtained, with a melt index of 56, measured at 190� C. under 325 g. The following were mixed at a temperature of 178� C. for 10 minutes in the tank of a Brabender mixer: 40.5 g of Lacqtene 3050 FNI approximately 4.5 g of the PPg obtained above alone or with the addition either of a monoalcohol: 1-octanol or a dialcohol : 1,6-hexanediol. The results obtained are collated in the Table below: ______________________________________ Molar ratioAdhesive composition, in grams MR = Peeling forceHydroxylated reactant [OH] on aluminiumPP PPg Type weight [MA] in daN/cm______________________________________40.5 4.5 -- 0 0 0.2740.5 4.498 1,6-hexanediol 0.02 0.4 0.5040.5 4.498 " 0.04 0.8 0.7940.5 4.492 " 0.08 1.6 0.8140.5 4.482 1-octanol 0.18 1.6 0.29______________________________________ The results show clearly that a monohydroxylated reactant such as 1-octanol has practically no effect on the adhesive properties but that a dihydroxylated reactant such as 1,6-hexanediol substantially improves the adhesive properties. It should be noted that the addition of the same hexanediol to PP without PPg, does not improve its adhesive properties. By employing an operating procedure similar to that of Example 1, 4.1% of maleic anhydride was grafted onto a block propylene/ethylene copolymer sold by ATOCHEM under the name Laqctene P 3050 MN4 (melt index at 230� C. under 5 kg equal to 5). The grafted copolymer, had a melt viscosity, measured at 200� C., at a shear rate of 10 s-1, with a Rheomat 30 apparatus manufactured by the Swiss company Contraves, of 100 Pa s. The grafted copolymer was then melt-compounded, at 180� C., in the tank of the Brabender mixer of Example 1, by itself or with either polyoxytetramethylene glycol (PTMG), or polyoxyethylene glycol (PEG) of different molecular weights, or an alpha,omega-diamino polyamide 11 oligomer with a molecular weight of 1050, obtained by polycondensation of 11-aminoundecanoic acid in the presence of hexamethylenediamine, in accordance with the operating procedure described in French Patent Application No. 84/13,244. The results collated in the Table below show clearly that the addition of polymers bearing two groups which are reactive with PF grafted with maleic anhydride substantially improves the adhesive properties of the grafted PP. __________________________________________________________________________ REACTANT in gramsWeight of PPg Type in gramsWeight ##STR1## aluminium in daN/cmPeeling force__________________________________________________________________________ on45 -- 0 0 0.1742.12 PTMG Mn = 650 2.88 0.5 1.039.59 " 5.41 1.0 1.042.33 PEG Mn = 600 2.67 0.5 1.4741.50 PEG Mn = 2,000 3.50 0.2 1.2537.18 " 7.82 0.5 1.87 ##STR2##44.03 PA di NH2 Mn = 1050 0.97 0.1 0.2140.53 " 4.47 0.5 0.96__________________________________________________________________________ Maleic anhydride was grafted onto the copolymer lacqtene P 3050 MN4, defined in Example 2, as follows: the following were introduced into an autoclave: 440 g of monochlorobenzene 96 g of 3050 MN4 48 g of maleic anhydride 8.2 g of benzoyl peroxide The mixture was maintained at a temperature of 130� for 2 hours. 1.0% grafted PPg was obtained, with a melt index of 70 at 230� C. under 5 kg. The PPg was diluted with Lacqtene 3050 MN4, identical to that from which it has been produced, by feeding a 30 D single-screw extruder set at 200� C. with a mixture of 180 g of 3050 MN4 and 20 g of the PPg; after a residence time of two minutes, a liquid strand was produced which was solidified, cooled by passing into a water trough and granulated. Similar tests were repeated except that there were added to the mixture: either 1,6-hexanediol a polyoxyethylene glycol of Mn=600 (PEG) or the di-NH2 PA oligomer of Mn=1,050, used in Example 2. Adhesive bonded aluminum sheets were produced using granules of the composition produced.

As in Example 1, the PPg obtained was compounded in the tank of a Brabender mixer set at 220� C. for 10 minutes, with Lacqtene P 7091 (ATOCHEM's random propylene/ethylene copolymer with a melt index of 6 at 230� C. and under 2.16 kg), alone or with the addition of polyoxyethylene glycol of Mn=2,000. ______________________________________ PPPPgPEGin gramsAdhesive composition ##STR4## in daN/cmon aluminiumPeeling______________________________________ force40 10 0 0 0.0532 8 1.5 2 0.70______________________________________ It was found that the addition of a small quantity of PEG increases the adhesion considerably. A three-layer laminate consisting of the following was produced by coextrusion with three extruders: Lacqtene P 3020 GN 3 (ATOCHEM's random propylene/ethylene copolymer with a melt index of 1.7 at 230� C. and 2.16 kg): thickness 0.8 mm binder: thickness 0.1 mm Eval ECF (ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer from Kuraray): thickness 0.2 mm. The binder was obtained by extrusion. As stated above, one of the three extruders was fed with one of the following two mixtures: Lacqtene P 7091 (defined in Example 4) 95 parts by weight grafted copolymer of Example 2, 5 parts by weight or Lacqtene P 7091, 95 parts by weight grafted copolymer of Example 2, 5 parts by weight hydrolysed EVA containing 28% acetate, defined in Example No. 4 (EVA OH), 0.25 part by weight the material has a residence time in the extruder of 3 minutes at a temperature of 200� C. in both cases.

I think not...
Remember last time.....
That is really sad but the rules are to be followed.
He had an engine and if he had used it in absolute necessity I don't think he would have been disqualified. He knew he could not be helped without disqualification and did not ask the Russian crew to leave his boat immediately.
Naive from Stamm but if you don't follow the rules in all cases, things can become nasty.
Stamm certainly did not deserved that bad luck, I mean all these problems with hidrogenerators. Next time I bet that all are going to carry more spars.
Facts found
On 22 12, Bernard Stamm decides to change course toward the Auckland Islands in order to repair the hydro generators.
Until 23 12 at 04h00, Bernard Stamm sails by his own means to Sandy Bay, prepared to anchor.
At 04h53, Bernard Stamm anchors in the bay after having unsealed the engine and the heavy anchor.
At 20h00, Bernard Stamm notices the presence of a Russian scientific ship Professeur Khoromov moored close to his position. Then, within half an hour, Bernard Stamm notices his boat is drifting.
Seeing the boat is drifting toward the ship, Bernard Stamm calls her by VHF. During the chat with the crew, they propose to moor his boat to the ship. Considering this is an emergency situation, Bernard Stamm decides to use the ship as a mooring and informs the crew of his decision by VHF.
Then Bernard Stamm prepares the boat to move, sets the sails and turns on all devices .
Coming back in the cockpit, Bernard Stamm notices that a person from the ship is on board his boat and has begun to recover the anchor.
Bernard Stamm starts the engine and turns on the auto helm, then goes to the bow to recover the anchor.
Bernard Stamm decides not to ask this person to leave the boat "when I saw him on board I did not find any reason that could justify to send him back from the board".
Bernard Stamm comes back to the engine controls and at the helm and the person at the bow throws the line on the Russian boat to make it fast.
Immediately afterwards, the person leaves Cheminées Poujoulat and returns to his RIB.
Once the boat has been correctly moored behind the Professeur Khoromov, Bernard Stamm goes to say hello to the two people in the RIB, and then they offer help. At this time, Bernard Stamm explains clearly the situation, that he is racing, that he is not entitled to any help.
Bernard Stamm considers that this was a case of absolute necessity for which it was needed to act in order to secure the boat and to prevent creating a problem for the ship moored nearby.
Mooring to another boat is a breach of the first sentence of NOR 3.2.
By not asking the person on his boat to leave when he discovered him, Bernard Stamm broke the second sentence of NOR 3.2.
The mooring of Cheminées Poujoulat to the Professeur Khoromov was made with the help of the person on board and the crew of the Professeur Khoromov. This is a breach to the second sentence of NOR 3.2.
Even though not requested, the assistance received from the crew member by Cheminées Poujoulat to secure the Cheminées Poujoulat and to prevent creating problem for the Professeur Khoromov constitutes a breach to NOR 3.2, and the material contact with another boat by mooring to her constitutes a breach to NOR 3.2 and to the principle of NOR 3.
Cheminées Poujoulat is DSQ from the Vendée Globe under NOR 3.2, fourth sentence and SI 11.2

I think it is awkward because they both seem stiff and uncomfortable with their poses, aside from some of the other comments already made. Isn't that what awkward is? They are awkwardly posed.
The only thing awkward about this photo is that I'm not him! Darn!
I don't know what u guys are talking about thats totally awkward
their not kissing their face smushing and look at the position of the girls hands and arms
4. Can I ask what exactly is awkward about kissing after your engagement?!?!?
A: nothing…when you do it RIGHT
kidding, chill out man – at least you two aren't in the "baby's day out" photo.
Here are the facts:
1. This is not an awkward pic.
2. I don't even know why I'm wasting my time responding to this, but my friend showed this to me. This happens to be me and my beautiful fiancé.
3. Clearly Mark is upset for some reason or the other. This photo can only be one of my facebook friends…. AKA thank you Mark C.
4. Can I ask what exactly is awkward about kissing after your engagement?!?!?
5. The snow is on the bottom of the glasses because they were sitting in the snow next to the roses before I brought her out there.
6. It's Martinelli's Apple Cider, not beer. It's a tradition I have on New Year's Eve.
7. Oh, and it's not Valentine's Day – your bit late. It was New Years Eve.
8. Quit drowning yourself in criticizing other people who you don't even know.
9. I'm sure you could spend your time on something a bit more productive/positive than this….
yo, C….I hear your anger and I concur; but instead of spouting off at the people who posted comments, why don't you find the jerk who posted your engagement picture on a website designed for making fun of pictures that seem "awkward". Seriously..THAT'S no friend. I'd be a little hurt.
p.s. You're pretty, so it assuages the awkwardness. Just saying..
I just have to ask, how and why is she holding the roses that way? Ever try to handle long stem roses, usually the thorns on them are so bad, your hands wind up a bloody mess?
Must be an engagement picture?
It's supposed to be awkward that there is snow on the bottom of their wine glasses. Har har har. It's a stretch.
I agree that this is not an awkward photo. BUT! I want to know what's going on with the fuzzies on the bottom of the champagne glasses. I just don't get it..
Thank your for the kind reply…..and even with snow, it's still weird.
They're not really kissing, just smooshing their faces together! mmm sexy…
Looks to me like her middle finger is a bit more extended than it should be. Otherwise, I see nothing else odd about the pic.
There's no unsanctioned breeding on the island.

Share No other area in Havana gives such a vivid and immediate impression of the city's history as Habana Vieja (Old Havana). Cobbled plazas, shadowy streets, colonial mansions, leafy courtyards, sixteenth-century fortresses and architecture famously ravaged by time and climate are all remarkably unmarred by modern change or growth. Ironically, however, the very lack of urban development between the 1960s and 1990s, which allowed the historical core to be so untouched, was the same force that allowed for the area's subsequent decay. The huge restoration project of this UNESCO World Heritage Site that began some 25 years ago is visibly still underway today, and though there are now one or two whole streets almost completely lined by beautifully renovated buildings, much work remains. But though its central streets are heaving with visitors, Habana Vieja is no sanitized tourist trap, and the area buzzes with a frenetic sense of life and a raw sense of the past – for every recently restored colonial building, there are ten crumbling apartment blocks packed with residents. And in the side-streets, neighbours chat through wrought-iron window grills and schoolchildren attend classes in former merchants' houses. Habana Vieja's main sightseeing area is relatively compact and made for exploring on foot. Although the narrow streets and eclectic architecture lend a sense of wild disorder, the straightforward grid system is very easy to navigate. The Plaza de Armas is the core of the historic old city and the logical starting point for touring the district, with numerous options in all directions, including the prestigious Plaza de la Catedral three blocks away to the north and the larger but equally historic Plaza Vieja five blocks to the south. For the other unmissable sights head from the Plaza de Armas up Obispo, Habana Vieja's busiest street, to the Parque Central. The wide boulevards and grand buildings on this western edge of Habana Vieja differ in feel from the rest of the old town, and belong to an era of reconstruction heavily influenced by the United States, most strikingly in the Capitolio building. Some of the most impressive museums are here, including the Museo de la Revolución and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Cuba's best and biggest art collection.

he Arris TM822G has two independent 96MHz wide RF tuners to receive downstream channels up to 1GHz vs The TM802G having two 48Mhz wide RF tuners up to 1GHz. (Will make a difference in bandwidth allocation/speed)
I just got one of those myself.Firmware Name: TS0703123_090611_MODEL_7_8Firmware Build Time: Tue Sep 6 18:01:19 EDT 2011Curiously, I'm now bonded on 5 channels.
I had a moto, but it does feel snappier.
I believe that they both can bond 8 channels. The max download rates are relatively the same. I believe the 96MHz refers to where in the spectrum the channels can be located. If one channel were at 6xx MHz the other bonded channels for that radio would need to be within the 96MHz range.

38 CFR 21.154 - Special transportation assistance.
A veteran, who because of the effects of disability has transportation expenses in addition to those incurred by persons not so disabled, shall be provided a transportation allowance to defray such additional expenses. The assistance provided in this section is in addition to provisions for interregional and intraregional travel which may be authorized under provisions of §§ 21.370 through 21.376.
(Authority: 38 U.S.C. 3104(a)(13))
Periods during which special transportation allowance may be provided.
A special transportation allowance may be provided during:
(Authority: 38 U.S.C. 3104(a)(14))
Transportation assistance includes mileage, parking fees, reasonable fee for a driver, transportation furnished by a rehabilitation facility or sheltered workshop, and other reasonable expenses which may be incurred in local travel;
The veteran's monthly transportation allowance may not exceed the lesser of actual expenses incurred or one-half of the subsistence allowance of a single veteran in full-time institutional training, unless extraordinary arrangements, such as transportation by ambulance, are necessary to enable a veteran to pursue a rehabilitation program.
Determining the need for a transportation allowance.
The case manager will determine the need for a transportation allowance. The assistance of a medical consultant shall be utilized, as necessary, to determine the need for special transportation assistance and to develop transportation arrangements which do not unduly tax the veteran's ability to travel and pursue a rehabilitation program.
Use of a relative precluded.
A relative of the veteran may not be paid any part of a special transportation allowance. The term relative has the same meaning as under § 21.374 pertaining to the use of a relative as an attendant.
(Authority: 38 U.S.C. 3104(a)(13))

Thursday evening was the last chance to hear from local Democratic candidates for county offices.
The last of the campaign speakings was a debate held at the Clay Jones Community building Thursday where guests also enjoyed a taco supper.
Candidates for county commissioner and county treasurer spoke about why they are the best choice for Bryan County.
County commissioner candidates answered questions on road repair, commitments of the office, what their priority as commissioner would be and how they differ from their opponents.
Candidates all said that bus routes should be top priority for road repairs and the county budget needs to be a priority.
Roger Hedgecock and current commissioner Jay Perry are running for District No. 3 while Kevin Carter and Chuck Downs are running for District No. 1. Monty Montgomery, who currently holds the office, did not seek reelection.
Perry talked about the improvements made to both areas during his time as commissioner.
"When have you ever seen so much work done?" Perry asked the crowd. He said district three has a better budget and better equipment than when he was first elected, and the district does not owe money.
Hedgecock and Carter both cited their ability to work on roads and bridges themselves as what sets them apart from their opponents.
"I'd like to see spending with local vendors," said Hedgecock. He said he would like the county to rotate purchasing from locals to keep money in Bryan County so everyone can benefit.
Downs said it is his experience with retail business and also his experience driving the roads of Bryan County that give him the knowledge needed for the position.
Candidates for county treasurer, Nancy Conner and Prudy Sullivan, spoke on issues of time management, customer service and experience.
Conner spoke of the improvements that have been made to customer and office relations since she was elected, noting that customers include the public and other county offices.
She said she values accuracy over time. Conner said while she may not be in the office at 8 a.m. each morning, she has workers who are and she is working throughout the county to best serve her customers.
Sullivan said that if she is elected treasurer, she will be in the office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. because she feels it reflects her respect for the customers.
While Conner spoke of her experience as treasurer, Sullivan said she has more experience than Conner did when she took the position.
Guests at the debate also heard from Congressional District Two candidate Joshua Harris-Till and State Senate candidate Joe Hill on why they want to represent the small communities in government.
Representatives for Jack Herron Jr. and John Cox, who are running for state superintendent, also spoke about why their candidates are right to represent Bryan County children.
Bryan County resident Kenna Kissel said she did not know who she would vote for at the beginning of this campaign, but she knows now, adding that it is important for citizens to come to speakings.
"You learn who people are," she said. She added she goes to the speakings to learn the candidates' beliefs and principles.
A pie and cake auction was held after the debate to benefit the Bryan County Democratic Party.

Chemistry Talk
Hybrid materials in general typically consist of an inorganic oxide component coupled to an organic portion via covalent, ionic or van der Waals interactions. The recent literature is rich with examples of such coordination polymer or metal-organic framework (aka 'MOF') compounds. The majority of these materials however, are based on transition metal chemistry, leaving compounds based on f-metals less explored. This presentation will highlight results from our efforts to develop the synthesis, crystal chemistry and ultimately the properties of Ln(III), UO2n+ and Th(IV) based hybrid materials. Structural features absent from d-metal systems (such as spherical coordination environments), provide unique challenges and opportunities for the formation of extended topologies. Further, metal mediated organic reactivity under hydrothermal conditions gives rise to novel structure types based on ligands generated in situ. Comments that place these results in the context of environmental issues and hydrothermal syntheses in general will be presented as well.

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Pro-Am
A classic case of "lesbian" porn made for heterosexual men.
Each girl has her own still gallery with tease and girl/girl/toy photos, each gets her name and face shown during the intro, and each is listed in the scene index. Oddly enough, there is no identifying information provided during the actual sex scenes.
The sex is well posed for the camera, but rather obviously so, which really chills any spontaneous bursts of sexual heat that threaten to interfere with the camera angles. The fact nobody seems to be having much fun isn't a big bonus, nor is the obvious scripting of the sex itself.
However, the girls really are nice to look at and the Euro-styled lipstick lesbian art sex has its moments, high among them Cats and Aisha San's scene, which suggests actual chemistry.
Retailing: Stylized sex with a European flare for those who mostly just want to see pretty girls get it on.

Do you know how to prevent malaria? One of the easiest ways is providing mosquito nets for families who are living in poverty. Malaria is transmitted by mosquitos, so mosquito nets are the best way to prevent the disease. These nets are treated with repellant and are high quality. They last three times longer than standard nets that you can buy elsewhere.<.p>
Families also receive training on how to properly use the nets and also how to ward off mosquitoes that may breed in or near their home.
Malaria kills almost 1 million people each year and many of them are children under 5 years old. You can teach others how to prevent malaria and give a gift that keeps families healthy!
WATCHSee Compassion's commitment to eradicating malaria.
Mosquito Net for Malaria Protection
Malaria kills nearly 1 million people every year, most under the age of 5. It is transmitted exclusively by mosquitos and is both preventable and treatable. Your gift will help give children and their families the gift of mosquito-free sleep with an insecticide-treated bed net. These high quality nets last three times longer than standard mosquito nets. Children and families will also receive training in how to use the net and education about ways to prevent the breeding areas where mosquitoes thrive.
Malaria is an often-fatal disease that's both preventable and treatable. Your gift of an insecticide-treated bed net also includes training to help children and their families avoid the mosquito bites that cause this deadly disease.

- For other places with the same name, see Soho (disambiguation).
Soho is a district of central London, part of the West End, famous for jazz, its gay village, sex shops and alternative lifestyles.
This is generally considered to be the area enclosed by Piccadilly Circus, Shaftesbury Avenue and Cambridge Circus to the south, Charing Cross Road to the east, Oxford Street to the north, and Regent Street to the west. Oxford Street is the main shopping street in London but much of it is in the Mayfair-Marylebone district.
The area immediately surrounding Old Compton Street in the southern part of Soho is widely recognised as London's foremost gay village and is a very stylish part of London indeed. There is some overlap with the red light district, though there has been a decline in prostitution and strip bars in the area since the 60s and is not quite as seedy as it once was, although you may still get solicited on the street in certain parts of Soho.
Chinatown is sometimes considered to be part of Soho, but it is south of Shaftesbury Avenue and, having a culture distinctly different from the rest of the West End, adjoins – but is not really part of – Soho.
Soho has a long and colourful history. The first record of the name comes from the 17th century when the area was pasture after being used as hunting park for the Royal Court of Henry VIII some 100 years earlier.
Despite this royal attention and very grand development taking place in adjoining districts, Soho did not become fashionable until recent times and was mostly known as an area settled by new immigrants. By the mid-19th century it had become the home of prostitutes and low brow music halls. Things looked up in the early 1900s when it gained something of a Bohemian reputation with writers, artists and actors moving in but the sex industry continued to dominate the district until as recently as the 1980s. This lucrative business was always run by organised crime groups and ensured that Soho was a notorious haunt of gangsters throughout much of the 20th century.
The music business began to really prosper here in the 1950s with a beatnik and jazz culture very much to the fore. Perhaps London's most famous jazz venue, Ronnie Scotts, is still thriving today in Frith Street. Many famous rock bands are also closely associated with Soho. The Rolling Stones played their first ever live concert here (at the legendary Marquee) and The Sex Pistols lived in Denmark Street as well as playing a number of infamous gigs. In the 1970s and 1980s Soho, and the Marquee in particular, was the place in London to head for to check out up and coming and often very controversial British bands.
Since the 1980s, the whole of Soho has undergone rapid transformation and development into a fashionable district of upmarket restaurants and media offices. There are though still a few places which are easily associated with its more colourful past and even a small remnant of the previously dominant sex industry remains.
Modern day Soho has the densest concentration of restaurants, cafés, clubs and bars in central London and truly represents the vibrant, bustling heart of the city. It is also the modern hub of London's media world with multiple advertising agencies, television and radio studios and post-production companies choosing this as their base of operations.
Unsurprisingly given its colourful nature, much has been written about Soho. The following is short selection of books, all of which are a great read and would be of benefit to anyone planning to visit Soho.
- Dirty White Boy, Tales of Soho by Clayton Littlewood, Cleiss Press 2008. The musings and observations of a clothing store owner in Old Compton St in the 2000s. You will struggle to find a better modern day commentary on Soho. Littlewood's book has been compared to Christopher Isherwood's writings about sordid Berlin in the 1920s. And apart from all that, it is very funny.
- Dog Days in Soho by Nigel Richardson, Phoenix 2001. A biography of one sailor's life in Soho in the 1950s, perhaps the single most notorious period in the history of the district. Poignant and very well written. Gives a fine sense of the period just before the evolution of modern day Soho.
- Soho: A History of London's Most Colourful Neighbourhood by Judith Summers, Bloomsbury Publishing Ltd 1989. Not easy to find copies of this book but it is worth the effort. Covers the social history of the district from the 18th to late 20th century.
Get in[edit]
By tube[edit]
A tube station serves each of the four approximate corners of Soho:
- Tottenham Court Rd to the north-east (Central and Northern lines)
- Oxford Circus to the north-west (Bakerloo, Central and Victoria lines)
- Leicester Square to the south-east (Northern and Piccadilly lines)
- Piccadilly Circus to the south-west (Bakerloo and Piccadily lines)
By train[edit]
The most convenient mainline rail station is Charing Cross, located 10-15 min walk to the southeast.
By car[edit]
Access to Soho by car is not recommended, owing to traffic congestion and stringent parking restrictions, and the £8 congestion charge. There is, however, a Masterpark parking station on Poland St, and another car park on Brewer Street.
By rickshaw[edit]
More entertainment than transportation really, rickshaws run in Soho and the surrounding areas. They are much more expensive than a black cab, and may seem a lot less safe, but they are a lot of fun and can often be the fastest way to get around these tightly packed streets.
Old Compton Street is Soho's unofficial high-street and is full of bars, cafes, clubs and shops. It is a great place to grab a coffee and watch Soho go by.
- Soho Square, Soho Sq W1. A centuries-old small park that becomes packed on warm sunny days.
- Wander the streets. Soho is best discovered by simply wandering its streets. Take the less trodden paths and you will be amazed by the rabbit warren of streets and the seemingly endless number of cafes, bars, shops and more. Some highlights are the gay village on Old Compton St, Soho Square and a tea and cakes in one of Soho's great patisseries.
- Dominion Theatre, 268-269 Tottenham Court Rd, W1T 7AQ. Home of Queen musical We Will Rock You
- Gielgud Theatre, 35 Shaftesbury Avenue, London, W1D 6AR.
- Novello Theatre, 5 Aldwych, London, WC2B 4LD, ☎ +44 844 482 5171. Home of Mamma Mia since 1999.
- London Palladium, Argyll St, W1F 7TF. Famous old London music hall whose boards have been trodden by many legendary names. These days it shows mostly blockbuster musical productions for the masses.
- Prince Edward Theatre, 28 Old Compton St, W1D 4HS, ☎ +44 20 7440-3020.
Soho has a diverse range of shops, tending towards the arty, boutique and independent style of outlet.
After a period in the 1970s and 1980s when Carnaby Street became little more than a tourist trap and a pale imitation of its innovative, trend-setting heyday in the 1960s, it is now once again a major centre of new design. There are some especially interesting independent fashion stores in the small streets and courtyards off Carnaby Street, so it is well worth exploring the area carefully.
Berwick Street is notable for a collection of independent record shops specialising in different genres of dance music.
Clothing and accessories[edit]
- Ben Sherman, 50 Carnaby St, W1F 9QA, ☎ +44 20 7437-2031, e-mail: email@example.com. The flagship retail outlet of this iconic British fashion brand. Men's and women's clothing, accessories and shoes.
- The Great Frog, 10 Ganton St, W1F 7QR (tube: Oxford Circus), ☎ +44 20 7439-9357, e-mail: email@example.com. Rock and heavy metal jewellery specialist. Been in business here for more than 40 years.

- Clone Zone, 64 Old Compton St, W1D 4UQ. The world's largest gay retail company.

London's best known bookshop is a mazy warren containing a seemingly impossible number of books! It is not always easy to find your way around and although greatly improved since the renovation in 1999, the service is notably surly. Nonetheless, this place is a must for all book lovers.
- Boardwalk, 18 Greek St, W1D 4DU. A club, bar, and restaurant. Good choices if you are strapped for cash.
- Cafe Valentino, 13a Greek St, W1D 4DN, ☎ +44 20 7437-8837. Late. A small cafe, primarily notable for its very late opening hours.
- The Dining Plaice, 20 Berwick St, W1F 0PY, ☎ +44 20 7437-3280. Decent fish and chip shop in the heart of Soho. Handy for Berwick Street market.

- Tuk Tuk Noodle Bar, 56 Old Compton St, W1D 4UE (Next door to Admiral Duncan pub), ☎ +44 20 7734-5951. M-Th noon-midnight, F Sa noon-13:00, Su 12:30-23:30. Honest, authentic and reliable Thai food, served up quickly and is amazing value for money. Can be crowded at peak times, turnover is so fast you won't be waiting too long. £8-12.
- Thai Cottage, 34 D'Arblay St, W1F 8EX. A slightly rough around the edges Thai restaurant which is always busy, thanks to the excellent value food which speaks for itself.
- Wagamama, 10a Lexington St, W1F 0LD. M-Sa until 23:00, Su until 22:00. Reliable Japanese food at a reasonable prices from this almost Starbucks-esque chain. Service is swift, and although queues can often be quite long, they clear rapidly. Diners are seated on uncomfortable benches opposite each other, so not a good place for an intimate meal. Main courses around £5-8.
Italian and pizza[edit]
- Piccolo Diavolo, 8 Old Compton St, W1D 4TE. noon-23:30. A little corner of great Italian hospitality in the heart of Soho. A good variety of Italian quality food served with passion by friendly waiters. Mains and pizza around £7.
- Pulcinella, 37 Old Compton St, W1D 5JY. Th-Sa noon-01:00, Su-W noon-midnight. Arguably the best Italian pizzeria in Soho with a good variety of pizzas prepared with a thin and crustry dough spun in the air and other traditional Italian dishes. Good value for money.
- Ristorante Cappucetto, 9 Moor St (At the intersection of Old Compton and Moor Sts - close to Cambridge Circus), ☎ +44 20 7437 2527-9472. Th-Sa noon-01:00, Su-W noon-midnight.

- Balans, 60-62 Old Compton St, W1D 4UG, ☎ +44 20 7439-2183, e-mail: email@example.com. daily 24 hrs. Almost a Soho institution, this 24 hour eatery in the heart of the gay village offers a wide range of British and world cuisine in a stylish atmosphere. Has now gone international with branches in Miami, but the original Old Compton Street Balans is still be best, attracting clientele as diverse as TV presenter Dale Winton and politician and former mayor Ken Livingstone among its regulars. £20-25.
- Busaba Eathai, 106-110 Wardour St, W1F 0TR, ☎ +44 20 7255-8686. noon-11PM. One of the best choices on a street with any number of fantastic restaurants. You will find a laid back atmosphere with big low wooden tables (expect to share if your party is small). The menu features among other dishes a fine butternut squash curry. Average meal £14-20.
- Chowki, 2-3 Denman St, W1D 7HA (Off Piccadilly Circus). Until midnight. In a city which was once the capital of India it makes sense that one can find a decent to good Indian restaurant on just about every corner. Once in a while you find one though that does things in an interesting enough way to be worth talking about. Chowki is like that, with dishes from around India that do not conform to the standard Bengali/Kashmiri/Punjabi fare, but surprise and please the pallet with unexpected overtones of Africa, or Italy, or Greece. Set menus £14.50, vegetarian £12.50.
- The Red Fort, 77 Dean St, W1D 3SH, ☎ +44 20 7437-2525, e-mail: email@example.com. This has been the landmark Indian restaurant in Soho since it opened in 1983. It was badly damaged during the Dean St fire in July 2009 and is currently closed for renovation. No doubt it will be back and serving the same high quality Indian food soon. Vegetarian options are especially good.
- Red Veg, 95 Dean St, W1D 3TB (Opposite TESCO), ☎ +44 20 7437-3109. For those of you looking for veggie fast food, this has some great options.

- L'Escargot, 48 Greek St, W1D 4EF (tube: Tottenham Court Rd), ☎ +44 20 7437-6828. This French restaurant has been serving up refined cuisine to the Soho faithful since 1927 and is currently owned and run by celebrity chef Marco Pierre White. The brasserie downstairs is slightly less formal than the Michelin-starred upper level. From £60.
- Quo Vadis, 26-29 Dean St, W1D 3LL (tube: Tottenham Court Rd), ☎ +44 20 7437-9585, e-mail: email@example.com. Bit of a Soho institution formerly owned by Marco Pierre White. Now under new management but little has changed. Top notch British grill style food in a very smart environment. £60.
- Vasco and Piero's Pavilion, 15 Poland St, W1F 8QE (tube: Oxford Circus), ☎ +44 20 7437-8774, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com. Umbrian food prepared with the very best ingredients by chef Vasco. All the pasta is freshly made on the premises. The calve's liver is especially famous. Has been in business here for 40 years. £60.
Have tea and cakes in one of Soho's great patisseries.
- Maison Bertaux, 28 Greek St, W1D 5DD (tube: Tottenham Court Rd), ☎ +44 20 7437-6007. Slightly tatty but utterly and deliciously French, since 1871. Take away or sit at one of their sidewalk tables.
- Patisserie Valerie, 44 Old Compton St, W1D 5JX (tube: Tottenham Court Rd), ☎ +44 20 7437-3466. 07:30AM-23:00 daily. The original location of this highly successful business (locally nicknamed as "Pat Vals") which has expanded across London with numerous outlets now around the West End. Wonderful French cakes and pastries. Breakfast here is notably good. Has a large seating area upstairs.
Be careful not to go any place recommended by someone you just met, as this is more than likely a scam that will cost you hundreds of pounds with the suggester getting a commission.
- Garlic and Shots, 14 Frith St, W1D 4RD. Walk through the unassuming upstairs restaurant and head down the back stairs to find this small hidden basement bar, which boasts 101 different garlic and chilli-infused shots and loud rock/metal music. The 'Bloodshot' is highly recommended! There is also a seated outdoor smoking area out the back.
- The Crobar, 17 Manette St, W1D 4AS (Off Charing Cross Rd). Metal pub. Very fine atmosphere if you like or are among the metal folks.
- The Crown and 2 Chairmen, Dean St, W1D 3SB, ☎ +44 8721 077 077. Has had a fancy refit and has a good selection of beers. You may have to wait a little while for your drink however. Popular with local media industry crowd.
- The French House, 49 Dean St, W1D 5BG. The legendary pub in which the French resistance convened during World War II and which was the favoured haunt of legendary Soho characters such as Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. It is a very small pub, so expect to be jammed in, particularly in winter. Also, note that the pub only serves beer in half-pints. An absolute Soho institution. Think "Jeffrey Bernard is unwell".
- The Midas Touch, 49 Beak St, W1F 9SB (tube: Piccadilly Circus). Popular pub with locals and usually has some good happy hour deals. Cheap-moderate.
- The Tottenham, 6 Oxford St, W1D 2DN (corner of Oxford St opposite Tottenham Court Rd tube station). Recently refurbished pub claiming to be the only pub on the whole of Oxford St. An absolute tourist trap but it is very convenient.
- The Toucan, 19 Carlisle St, W1D 3BX. Widely mistaken for an Irish bar it actually specializes in Guinness, said to be the best pint in London. Also check out their collection of over 100 different Irish whiskies.
- Sam Smith Pubs. Sam Smith's pubs are some of the cheaper places to drink in Soho as they mostly sell their own beers brewed in Yorkshire. The pubs are The Red Lion, 14 Kingly Street (Oxford Circus tube station) and The White Horse, 45 Rupert Street (Piccadilly Circus tube station). £2-£4 per pint.
Jazz joints, bars and clubs[edit]

Marketing is vital to the success of any business. Your strategy in marketing will mark the difference between failure and success. After all, what good is a great product if no one knows it exists? The main aim of marketing is to let the world know that a) Your product exists and b) What a great product it is! Marketing is all about presentation. It's about creating desire and want in the hearts of your consumers. It's about evoking that sense of urgency. It's about compelling them to give up their hard earned cash for it. And what makes it even more challenging; consumers nowadays are bombarded with all kinds of marketing tactics that are becoming harder and harder to catch. That is why if you want to sell your product your marketing strategy has to be off the charts. Social Networking – the Marketing Strategy of the Future The internet has led to the birth of a new kind of marketing strategy – social media marketing. People connect online. They make friends, they shop and they even date on the internet. With the number of social networking sites turning up all over the internet these days, what would be crazier is that if you refused to take advantage of this marketing goldmine. Here are 5 Reasons Why You Should Use Social Networking Sites to Grow Your Business: It's free! -- To encourage people to sign up, most social networking sites offer free registration.

Publicity. -- The essence of online marketing is to boost up your visibility to your primary market.
