Can BHA actually DISSOLVE blackheads/ clogged pores
Posted 11 February 2009 - 10:14 AM
Does BHA actually dissolve a blackhead ?
i was thinkin about doin a lil experiment where i would extract a blackhead using a comdone extractor then submerging it completly in Salacylic acid and leaving it for like 1 - 3 months to see if it actully dissolves blackheads or breaks them down. i would replace the salaclyic acid everyday so that it doesnt go 'off' if thats even possible.
Posted 11 February 2009 - 07:20 PM
However, salicylic acid/BHA is probably the single best topical thing I've found for reducing blackheads. And here's a little tip for you: although Paula's Choice products are wonderful in general, (I'm a huge Paula Begoun fan), you would probably save a lot of money by just using salicylic acid powder mixed with water or even crushed aspirin mixed with water. I believe it's exactly the same thing, and it's worked for me immensely.
On a side note, I love your suggestion of experimenting with an already extracted comedone. I'll have to try that myself.
Posted 13 February 2009 - 06:50 AM
Posted 13 February 2009 - 11:09 PM
I don't believe they know the exact cause, although it's probably that the skin's oil balance is off and that your skin is excreting too many toxins, meaning that your bowels/digestive system are all messed up.
I recently discovered that like many people in Western societies, I have Candida overgrowth, which is probably why I get comedones.
My father has the same thing, but neither one of his parents ever had it, nor did any of his siblings. Unsurprisingly, he was also the only one who refused to eat anything but carbohydrates, and unfortunately, I'm the same way.
You may want to poke around the diet/holistic forums if you want more info on this topic. I'm personally interested in changing my dietary habits/lifestyle and maybe doing a few detoxes, but the convenience factor kind of seems to get in the way.
The best and most efficient way to fix problem skin is from the inside out.

Well, I would love to see how your story unfolds, as we seem to have basically the same problem.
How old are you?
Posted 22 February 2009 - 09:35 AM
Sebum is not always liquid. Sometimes it is waxy and thick. It will most definitely clog your pores.
My comedonal acne is due to a combination of two factors, both of which I believe to be genetic. One is a tendency to this thick, waxy sebum; the other is that my skin cells do not shed properly. So my pores get clogged with a combination of the two.
Salicylic acid is soluble in oil, so it can penetrate the pores ... and it does break up those sticky skin cells and exfoliate within the pores. In my experience, though, the blackheads don't "dissolve" .... they loosen up and gradually come to the surface, where they can be extracted easily. Continued use of BHAs should prevent them from recurring.
Posted 22 February 2009 - 10:23 AM
so basically this is genetic and im gona have them untill i die ! FFS !
even with cotinued use of bha and all those other prescription creams you can get you will still get blackheads and clogged pores ?
Well, I would love to see how your story unfolds, as we seem to have basically the same problem.
How old are you?
ive just turned 20 ... had these damn clogged pores for the last 5 years and most likley for the rest of my life !
Posted 22 February 2009 - 10:28 AM
This type of acne is actually one of the most stubborn and difficult to treat, because many of us never outgrow it. Topical retinoids and BHAs do work very well, but you have to keep using them or the bumps will come back.
Posted 22 February 2009 - 12:08 PM
true. my secret weapon against blackheads and closed comedones is clean & clear blackhead scrub (i know, right? there is not one other product from a drugstore that helps AT ALL, but this does a great job.) as soon as my skin clears up, i often stop using the scrub, only to have them come back at full force a few weeks later...which is happening now haha...i've resolved myself to using it at least 2-3 times a week for maintenance in the future
Posted 22 February 2009 - 02:21 PM

by cloged pores do you mean blackheads ? mine are white. they are like white beads and can easily come out if i just rub my skin on my nose. but they come back within 1 day. i cant believe im gonna have this for the rest of my life. they have made my pores MASSIVE.
so retinoids dont actaully correct anything to do with clogged pores coz as soon as you stop using it they come back. i cant be using retinoids for the rest of my life !
Posted 22 February 2009 - 02:38 PM
Green Cream cleared up the bumps, and BHAs and mandelic got rid of the worst of the blackheads. I still got congested pores on my nose, chin, and forehead, though. These didn't have hard comedones in them, just waxy sebum, but they were still annoying.
My derm put me on a low-dose Accutane course to get try to get rid of folliculitis, and an additional benefit was that it cleared my pores really well. I'm now on a very low-dose maintenance dosage, and reducing it every few months. So far my pores are staying clear.
Posted 22 February 2009 - 04:08 PM
you said GC cleard up the bumps ... what exactly do you mean bumps. are you talking bout the same white hard bead things that you can just rub off with you finger. (this is what i have - they are hard round things) ... or do you mean like little acne spots. ?
Posted 22 February 2009 - 05:18 PM
When the comedone eventually surfaced, it could be extracted or rubbed off, but most of these bumps were closed.
Posted 22 February 2009 - 08:42 PM

i think what you have is somthing differnt to mine. i basically have like a little white hard lump that just appears in every pore. there not flesh coloured of anything. its basically just sebcoues material / sebecoues filaments. they dont get inflamed or anything. they are like blackheads but their white and are not as hard to remove as blackheads. they can all re rubed off my skin but they just come back within 1 day.
Posted 22 February 2009 - 08:58 PM
A good AHA topical might also help, since it sounds like your problem is largely confined to the surface of the skin. I'd recommend a lactic acid serum, as it is less irritating than glycolic. Lactic acid is also a humectant, so your skin will actually retain water better when you use it.

Six Sauces Wish Grill Festival
Absolute Barbecues has organized a Wish Grill Festival showcasing six new sauces for use in their wish grill. Also they have introduced exquisite options for non vegetarians like Peking Duck and Jungle Red Fowl. The festival is on till 29th May.
We went on an evening and found the place crowded as usual. The good thing about AB is the extraordinary reception you get when you go there â the wait staff literally pampers you. I started with a Watermelon based mocktail. Thick and juicy, I like this concoction over there.
First, a quick visit to the wish grill to have a look at the sauces. I was already familiar with Tufani Indian. There were a set of Asian sauces â Thai Galangal, Asian Black Pepper and Hunan Sauce.
Apart from this there were Parsley Sauce, Mustard Sauce and something called AB Dancing sauce.
The exquisite meat items were lined up next to the Wish Grill. There was the Peking Duck, Jungle Red Fowl, quails and rabbit.
Being a Bengali and fond of mustard, I started with a grill of assorted seafood in mustard sauce. The mustard sauce was strong, flavorful and suited my palate. My next favorite was the Black Pepper Sauce which I tried with some Peking Duck. The Galangal or Thai ginger sauce was a pit pungent, but flavorful, radically different from any other. It suited the slightly fibrous Jungle Red Fowl well.
I am not fond of parsley, did not like the green Parsley sauce, though some of my friends found it good with fish.
After the wish grill it was time for the normal grill on the table. It was good as usual with an assortment of prawn, chicken and fish kababs as well as mushroom and paneer on the veg side. Spicy pineapple shavings were as usual good. We tried a new item, round scoops of watermelons in a spicy sauce grilled on skewers and they tasted great.
From the dinner buffet I liked the Sri Lankan Prawn Curry and the Rajasthani Doravat Chicken. I did not have much appetite after that, but could not afford to miss their signature dessert Indrani.
The new sauces in the Wish Grill are not to be missed. The special sauces festival is on till 29th May.

Crowdy, Noisy, Negligence of Chauffeurs
Had been to ABs on 21 April 2014 with family (of 4 people). I had heard and read about AB's a lot and taken my family members to jubilee hills AB's. After we reached there,
1. Car parking : 2 chauffeurs came running to take our 2 cars for Valet parking.
2. we had been to 4th floor via 2 lifts which were actually confusing with the configured floors they stop at
3. Waited for 5 minutes to occupy the table
4. Once we occupied, they have taken almost more than 15 min to get the barbecue and do all the setup
5. Finally our starters arrived.
Our long awaited period has been answered with superb and awesome variety and yummy starters
6. Wish grill : when it said 'wish', we expect it to be our own grill which will be served to us but in reality, we are allowed to choose our own base item like emu, quail, sea food, egg etc but the sauce will be insisted by the waiter there. If we ask for our own sauce, he says no sir...With this we use only this sauce. With some other item he says, we don't give rice with this and it went on...And finally we took HIS WISH GRILL.
7. Chicken biryani was just about average in taste, color, hygiene.
8. I liked butter naan and mutton curry.
9. Next comes, desserts which they served in large variety. Tasted almost everything except wish ice cream, assuming that however, its gonna be HIS WISH ICE CREAM rather than calling it our wish ice cream
10. Desserts were good and tasty. Loved the way, they have scooped watermelon and musk melon.
11. The crowd was too much and the ambiance very bright lights and noisy
12. The music was so very loud and disturbing. I dint like it, as it was high, crowd started talking loudly. So there was ABSOLUTE mess and there was no peace or good feel there
13. somehow we finished eating finally. Paid rs 150/- as tip to the waiter after paying the bill. To my utter astonishment, he rejected and handed over the money saying TIPS ARE NOT ACCEPTED SIR. I was so shocked to hear to that. But good discipline the waiters had. This was observed every time they served food, cleaning plates, attending to us, checking with us about the taste and food. Keep up guys.
14. While returning, we have given our slips for getting our cars near the wallet parking in down stairs. And trust me they took more than 45 minutes to get our 1st car, and another 15 minutes passed and our 2nd car dint come. Finally we had to go to parking area to inquire and found out the driver was unable to open the I10 car lock. This was so strange. They were not even responsible or concerned to listen to us, or give us acknowledgement or any answer regarding our car. We went inside and got our car and returned finally.
However, I would not like to give more than 3/5 rating for AB's. 3 is also given for waiters' discipline and starters.

Worst HYGIENE Standards
After listening much about ABS, thought of visiting but couldn't due to many reasons.Luckily I had to give a small treat for my friends.So visited with a group of 6 on 26th April for dinner. All are pure veg though.
Ambience: very noisy with crowd talking at their own pace
Starters: almost all starters are good. but to my bad luck we got an INSECT inside cauliflower starter.when I showed the same to the waiter they cleverly took it inside before I could take a snap of it.their answer is 'it even May happen at home' and sometimes it happens. only vegetables can contain insects not non veg. can u expect this answer from them? of course they tried in many ways to cheer me up by giving complementary drinks and desserts but nothing could change the impression they made.
wish grill: a unique concept but was too confused to have a good combination of ingredients.of course I cannot comment on it since its subjective.
Main course: tomato soup was good.curries were good.veg biryani was pathetic.
desserts: almost all are good including wish ice cream. but here comes the twist. again we found a piece of LIME STONE in the ice cream which might have broken from the stone base which they use to mix the wish dessert.
So friends the HYGIENE STANDARD they maintain are INSECTS IN STARTERS and STONES IN DESSERTS. This might not happen to 90% of people but please do CHECK BEFORE YOU EAT AND EAT AT OWN RISK.
I liked the live music and singing. It's lovely. I appreciate the singer/composer/dj . Excellent stuff from him

A New Twist to the Old Bar-be-cue Style
ABs Wish Grill is the new entrant in the bar-be-cue dining space in Hyderabad. Like any other Bar-be-Cure restaurant, it has a bar-be-cue menu (to be served on table in an oven) and buffet menu. What is different in this place is, they have a live counter where certain meats, eggs, vegetables and sauces are kept, and you can choose your ingredients which then the chef cooks into a starter. This concept was something new.
We went there on the day of Dusshera, for lunch. The interior was spacious and I guess 80 to 100 people can dine at a time. The waiters were friendly and helpful.
There were 5 types of veg and 5 types of non-veg items for bar-be-cue. Buffet also had adequate dishes. The only slight disappointment wasdesserts section did not have something in hot (there were gulab jamun and rasgulla, but they were pathetic).
Overall, its a place you should visit at least oncejust for the live counter experience.
Grill Lovers Paradise
Finally after a long delayed and over due visit, I happened to visit AB's with fellow foodies.
Having read oh so many reviews about this place, there is no point writing about the ambiance . So today I will write only about the food and perhaps the service.
After a collective decision to visit AB's , we decided it to be today...
Landed at 12 pm at Ab's, the place was starting to get occupied.
It being the sea food fest it is, there was obviously more number of sea food lovers.
because the rest of the junta wasn't yet in for lunch, we ordered our wish grill - which by then had already stacked up a pretty long line.
I took a all mix sea food except the lady fish in Dijon mustard and lemony sauce.
WE were seated near the buffet table opposite the dessert counter. As soon as everyone arrived, we had already began to eat.
Our server for the day was Arpan. Was very watchful and courteous and obliged to almost everything we asked.
Rahul Basu being a Bengali was conversing with him in - well, Bengali and i guess these guys do tend not to piss off a Bengali speaking brother.
Having realized this , we also coerced Rahul to request him to get some grilled crabs which he did after a while...The crab however were pretty small with real negligible meat in them.
The other starters that came to the table were the mutton gilafi kebab, tangdi kebab, Australian grilled fish, apart from the the prawn and chicken on the live grill.
I did like the chili oil spray that they have, something new to my eyes.
The famed cinnamon pineapple also made it presence felt , after a couple of servings, i did not fancy it any more.
While the wish grill was ok, it wasn't really a wow experience.
The complimentary virgin mojito was refreshing.
For the main course, i had butter chicken, eel and chicken biryani. All of them run of the mill.
The dessert section was very interesting. Indrayani, stone ice cream, fresh jalebi and angoori gulab jamun. All of them pretty good. I really loved the butterscotch with almonds and white chocolate. Did not taste of a cheap produce....
All in all it was a decent experience food wise, but the non intrusive yet watchful service and the company of fellow foodies made it all the more enjoyable.
While the grill might not be a very doable thing for folks with restless kids, I sort of don't fancy it any more. One more place off the list and many more to go !

Good one for a Hangout!
AB is undoubtedly a competitor with guts to Barbeque Nation. Very economical and the menu is better than any restaurant. I am not sure how many people would taste everything listed but the concept of Wish grill and customized deserts look cool.
Great Food
I didn't go in a planned manner there. My wife told me that folks in her office are talking about AB and since we went to Bajaj showroom, thought why don't we give it a try...
First I didn't know how it's going to work and the waiter clarified that. We went for one veg and one non-veg order, their dinner included.
1) Unlimited Mongolian Grill.
2) 6 veg - 6 non veg grills. Chicken, Mutton, Prawn, fish, duck etc in non-veg
3) Regular buffet - salad, soup, decent curries, breads and rice.
4) Unlimited dessert corner - coldstone icecream and other desserts.
Drinks are also available but charged separately.
I don't think charging Rs 625/725 for veg/non-veg dinner can be called expensive given the varieties...
Food was really tasty and Mongolian grill was the highlight. I haven't seen it at any other place in India yet. Ambience and courtesy of staff are other factors I liked.
Loved the place and would definitely visit next time, may be with a bigger group...
Amazing Food
We friends just saw the hoarding in Madhapur and decided to visit the place.
1) Ambience
2) Starters
3) Staff
4) Service
1) Price
2) Desserts
Actually we didn't know it was a dinner buffet and we clarified with the waiter also, but there was confusion regarding that and we didn't eat main course because of that. Hence we end up paying Rs 1800/- for 2 people.
I like this place very much but that confusion in the end regarding the buffet/a la carte worsened the experience.
The food is lip smacking and delicious and staff and ambiance are very good.
The desserts were not having much variety.
These all factors resulted in me, giving it a 3 star instead of 4.

The next AB of Food Industry!
A few years ago, the only option was Bar-b-Que Nation. There are plenty options nowadays and when we heard of this new joint offering the same thing in a new package, it was sparkles in our eyes as the price they were offering was comparatively less than other similar chains.
4 of us planned our visit on the occasion of Dussera as they were offering some special Bengali dishes in their menu. We were pretty late for it but the staff were too obliged to make us sit in comfortably. We were assigned a waiter for our table who walked us around and explained the concept of AB and their trademark Wish Grill. We were too eager to get started. Walked in to the Wish Grill and ordered whatsoever came in our mind. The chef suggested us some additions to make the dishes attractive. As the grills were being prepared the Bar-b-que was placed in the center of the table and starters were being served. Each and every starters, the fish, the chicken, the prawns, the mutton were extra succulent and juicy and gave us some melting moments. The grills were ready in the Wish chamber and they turned out exciting but a little difficult to understand the different variants we had ordered.
The most exciting starters were the roasted pineapple, the creamy potatoes and the juicy tangdi. We were hogging on the starters till we were almost full and thought it was the right time to stop or else we would miss the exciting buffet spread. We took a break of 10 mins as we sipped on our beverage and rushed in for the buffet as the clock was ticking past the closing lunch time. We scanned through buffet and took a portion each of almost everything for the taste.
Disappointment!!! The Bengali dishes were no close to even what is served in Bengali joints in Hyderabad. The other dishes were just fine. The only mention would be the mutton and the crab which tasted great. We slurped and moved on to desserts. Here comes another sweet punch with an option to have ice cream mixed on cold stone, however the options were less. The sweets were great too.
Being in close proximity to home and office, I am sure this will be a frequented joint for many. The concept overall gives a good feeling. I hope they maintain the standards and rise to the occasion to become the 'AB' of the food industry.

Absolute bliss
ABs Absolute Barbecues is the new competition to Barbecue Nation and other grills in Hyderabad. The swank new restaurant has opened in the Jubilee Hills Madhapur corridor.
Apart from the usual barbecue, a star attraction of this restaurant is the Mongolian Grill, which currently is not available in any of the other places in Hyderabad. I was eager to visit them, and when the foodies group Foodies In Hyderabad came up with an astounding offer of availing their Sunday lunch buffet at Rs 250 inclusive of taxes (as opposed to the normal price of around Rs 700), I literally jumped at it. It was not just a deal it was a steal.
The restaurant has a seating capacity of more than 100 people. It is well lit and well decorated. I was very excited about the wish grill concept, where you can rustle up the veggies and meat you want and get them prepared on the Mongolian grill with the sauce of your choice. So after a brief chat with my foodie friends I headed to the wish grill.
I started with an assortment of uncommon meat ducks, rabbit and quails in combination with chili garlic sauce and a choice of vegetables. The chefs were ready with their swords which they use to toss up the food on the round grill. What came out after their display of sabre rattling was a nice and spicy dish the meat was well cooked and it had drawn in the juice from the sauce.
I followed this up with a mix of seafood prawns, squid and fish this time in sambal olek (a red chili based sauce) with a little bit of fried rice thrown in. A great fan of the South East Asian sauces as well as seafood, this was the perfect dish for me. Some of my friends who tried this from me, also lauded the preparation.
The beauty of the wish grill is that after the first try with a particular sauce and your chosen ingredients, you can decide to modify the next recipe, as per your taste. I wanted to try a milder version of the chili garlic grill, so had a second round this time asking them to put a little less sauce and seafood instead of meat. The result was a delicious dish (and a customized recipe for myself which I will try on my next visit there). My suggestion to people planning to visit here, is to first prepare a smaller amount first for your tasting, and then based on your preferences and feedback from your palate, modify the ingredients and prepare a larger grill.
After my adventures with the wish grill, I settled down for the barbecue. I ended up trying most of the items served on the table grill my personal favorite was the barbecued mushroom. The chili garlic prawns were also delicious. The tangri chicken was good and gilafi seekh were up to the mark and the chicken wings were too spicy. What I also loved were the shavings from a pineapple on a skewer served on the table.
So much of food already, and my tummy was telling me I was no longer well equipped to try out the main courses. But my greed got better of me, and I tried a little of each non-veg dish in the main course. The Sri Lankan Crab curry was spicy and went well with the naans. The Laal Maans had a decent taste, but it was not not fiery and spicy as I had during my frequent visits to Rajasthan the last few years. The Fish curry Mangalorean style looked good to go with rice, so I just tried a small piece of the fish and it was not great in taste.
They also did have a huge range of dessert including ghewar and baklava. But frankly, I was in no condition to try them all. Tried Indrani, a milky rasmalai with pomegranate and other fruit pieces which seems to be a house favorite.
Finally the service was amazing. There were more than 80 foodaholics in the house, but the waiters did a phenomenal job. We were pampered badly, and they kept on repeating each item till we asked them to relent. A young lad, Abhisek who was handling my table really took good care of us.
Wish Mr Prosenjit Roychoudhury and his new place the best. A must visit at least for the wish grill!

Choosing a digital camera for your holiday
19 April 2010
What's a mega-pixel? Do I need a 64MB or a 1GB memory card? Why is optical zoom more important than digital zoom?
Well-known photographer Charles Corbett helps you survive the digital deluge and shows you a few top sellers.
If we mention the names of Joseph Niepce, Louis Daguerra, Henry Fox Talbot or George Eastman, what would you think? A new French boy band?
No, these gentlemen were pioneers of photography and as film had not yet been invented, they had to work through all sorts of messy processes to fix images on glass plates. Since then even film has all but come and gone, because we have now entered the exciting era of digital photography.
Let's look at a few pointers when deciding to invest in a
digital camera
. Of course you've found that the digital camera in your cell phone, well, remains a camera in a cell phone. You need a modicum of quality when capturing memories of the good times.
Determine what you ultimately want to do with the camera. Is it for family snapshots or do you want to experiment? If it's the former, a basic compact digital will suffice, but more about that later.
The first thing to look for in a digital is how many mega-pixels it captures. Pixels is the abbreviation for the picture elements, the small dots that make up a digital image, and one 'mega' is one million of them in a batch. Knowing your attention to detail and quality, you wouldn't want a camera that takes fewer than 4 megapixels.
Next, make sure it has a good lens, for example, one that allows lots of light into the camera. It's no good having huge megapixel capability and a poor quality lens. Which brings us to optical and digital zooms. Buy a camera with a good optical zoom, lets say at least 3x (three times magnification). This means the camera uses its lens to bring the subject closer. A digital zoom does the same, but uses electronics rather than optics, resulting in a loss of image quality. So even if your camera has optical and digital zooms, avoid using the latter, unless you want your pictures to have that blurry paparazzo look.
Also remember that digital cameras increase a lens's optical length, thus a 135mm lens on a film camera will give you about 200mm on a digital. So make sure you know exactly what you're getting and keep this in mind, especially when buying SLR/removable lenses.
Another important criterium is the camera's power supply. Rechargeable batteries are a money saver. Some rechargeable cameras can also use disposable batteries. This is handy when you're stuck in the wild, far from a power point. If you take a lot of pictures, don't buy a model that takes AAA or other small capacity or expensive batteries.
Be sure to handle the camera to feel how it fits in your hands. It's no good buying a matchbox camera is you have sausage fingers.
Also consider your level of experience and rather buy something simple if you're a novice.
Budget for a memory card, as the included 16 or 32MB card won't hold many pictures. You want at least 6 or 32gb. If you can stretch your camera fund, get a memory card reader for your computer. Slot the card into it and your pics are transferred to your pc or Mac in an instant, without using the camera's power. And backup your precious memories on CD – you don't want to lose them all if your hard drive dies or your laptop gets stolen, Remember most photo labs print digital pictures.
Read lots of reviews in camera magazines and on websites such as
Review center
Digital Photography Reviews
So you don't want to be a photographer for Vogue or National Geographic? Then enter the realm of the point-and-shoot digital camera.
Konica Minolta have launched the Konica Minolta Dimage Z3, and almost like that other well-known Z3 model, it has a striking design. Its 4-megapixel ability will give you excellent print quality up to a whopping 35cm x 25cm. That's close to an A3 size print. But it also features predictive auto-focus control, improved auto-focus accuracy, superb close-up ability, a 12x optical zoom and a special anti-shake function. The latter is especially handy on those mornings when you're not as bright as you were the night before…
Don't laugh at the close-up feature either. Think of the points you'll score with the lady in your life when she can photograph, up close, her engagement ring, to e-mail to the known universe.
So where to now, you ask. As they say, when the going gets tough, the tough go shopping! Always remember that making lasting images will only enhance your own image.

First Stage summer camp exposes kids to theater basics
Kids are getting a "fast and furious" introduction to theater this week in the First Stage Theatre Summer Camp, said camp Director Mary Smirl.
Taking place at Pea Ridge United Methodist Church, this week's camp is geared toward children in kindergarten through fifth grade and covers auditioning, rehearsing, costumes and set building.
"We're having a blast," said Smirl, a board member for First Stage Theatre Company. "We're doing everything from puppetry to theater games. Then we're doing a production on Friday."
She's thrilled with the enthusiasm of the campers and the older students who have come back to serve as counselors.
Twenty-nine kids are participating in the camp, which has the theme of "Alice in 'Wonder What It's Like to Be in a Show' Land." Their public performance will be a mash-up of "Alice in Wonderland" scenes, and is planned for 2 p.m. Friday at the church, located at 5747 E. Pea Ridge Road.
First Stage's camp for middle- and high-schoolers is coming up July 15-19. "Wicked Auditioning Skills" is for kids in grades 6-12 and will cover preparing for an audition, monologues, vocal assessment, dance and what to wear.

EnglishLads membership gets you brand new and exclusive sexy naked young 18-24 yo lads showing off their toned bodies in explicit scenes, sucking, fucking, ass play and cum shots.
This is Doug's second video and he's already proving to be very popular with the members and I wonder why; may be down to one particular, rather large uncut talent he has dangling down a long way between his legs! When we tell him about the comments regarding his cock he blushes slightly and laughs it off. Doug has a great body, defined and slightly hairy and firm with very strong muscles. Today he's here to experience one of Dan's now infamous massages; relaxing on the bed Doug lets Dan's hands explore his body, paying some special attention to his hairy hole and his rock hard cock. Before long Doug is getting his first hand job from a guy and judging from the faces and harder and harder breathing that Doug shows, he's very much enjoying it. As Dan's hand action speeds up Doug is soon squirting his thick, gooey cum all over his abs. One more boundary pushed by another straight lad more than happy to lie back with his hands behind his head!

Streamline your Next Trip with These Tips
by: December 25th, 2013
Holidays are fun but they can require a lot of work. All of the planning that goes into a trip can be overwhelming.
IReport.com provided the following tips, to help you smooth away some of the rough edges of travelling.
Feel more rested on long flights with noise cancelling headphones. Even for travellers that aren't planning to nap, this innovative technology can be a godsend when confronted with crying babies and other unpleasant sound pollution.
Pick up the best local snacks for the lowest prices by quizzing taxi drivers and shop owners on their favourite street vendors. Street vendors might not offer gourmet meals, but travellers can have some uniquely delicious culinary experiences this way.
Be prepared for the worst and carry over the counter medications for allergy attacks, motion sickness, and gastrointestinal distress. While a 24-hour bug might not be a big deal at home, it can be disastrous while travelling.

The Council of Europe, based in Strasbourg (France), now covers virtually the entire European continent, with its 47 member countries. Founded on 5 May 1949 by 10 countries, the Council of Europe seeks to develop throughout Europe, the common and democratic principles based on the European Convention on Human Rights and other reference texts on the protection of individuals. The Holy See, the United States of America, Canada, Japan and Mexico have observer status. Belarus has applied for membership.
In 1955, the European Cultural Convention came into force as the prime instrument through which the European states, expressed their commitment to cultural co-operation. It continues to provide a legal framework for the Council's action in fields such as education, culture and heritage. In 2005, the Council of Europe and its member states celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the European Cultural Convention with two Ministerial Conferences (in Faro and Wroclaw) and a series of brainstorming workshops with cultural policy experts and intellectuals (Strasbourg). The 3rd Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Council of Europe was also held in 2005 (Warsaw).
The Council for Cultural Co-operation (CDCC) was set up in 1961 as a committee of governmental representatives responsible for setting the agenda for action in the fields of education, culture, media, sport and youth. In 2001, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe decided to transform the Council for Cultural Co-operation (CDCC) and its specialised Committees into four Steering Committees; including the the Steering Committee for Culture (CDCULT) which had a "hands-on" mandate for developing cultural co-operation programmes. The CDCULT'sTerms of Reference indicated that the Committee "shall be responsible for activities related to cultural policy and action and follow-up on their implementation, monitoring and evaluation" and that its work "shall focus on cultural policy development and help with its implementation, standard setting and follow-up" including the:
As of 2012, a new supervisory body, the Steering Committee for Culture, Heritage and Landscape superceded the previous specialised Committees in the field of culture, heritage and landscape and now oversees all the activities implemented by the Council of Europe in these sectors.
The Council of Europe's activities in the field of culture have been built upon four main principles including: the promotion of identity, support to creativity, respect for cultural diversity and participation in cultural life. Through its inter-governmental committees and in-house Directorate of Democratic Governance, Culture and Diversity, the Council has made contributions in the field of cultural policy, with pioneering work that includes:
While the Council of Europe does not have the resources nor the mandate to provide direct support to artists, it does back programmes involving creative artists such as "Apollonia" (facilitating artistic exchange with central and east European countries) or "Pont de l'Europe" (essays from 40 European writers inscribed at the Pont de l'Europe connecting Kehl to Strasbourg). Since 1954 the Council of Europe has organised over 29 transnational art exhibitions such as "Art and Power: Europe under Dictators 1930-45". The programme was extended to include the new Council of Europe Cultural Events and Arts Exhibitions in 2008 and a new award scheme "Cultural Labels" was created to distinguish innovative artistic projects that send a strong message related to the Council's work and critical European issues.
Other milestone projects of the Council of Europe in the field of culture are the Cultural Routes and the EURIMAGE activities supporting cinematographic co-production. Previous milestones include Culture and Neighbourhoods; Arts, Creativity and the Young; the Electronic Publishing, Books and Archives Project; Information Society and Cultural Policy; European Approaches to Cultural Diversity; Intercultural Dialogue and Conflict Prevention; Creating Cultural Capital.
In May 2005, the 3rd Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Council of Europe (Warsaw, Poland) adopted a political declaration and an action plan proclaiming intercultural dialogue and the democratic management of diversity as a central priority for the Organisation in general, and for the cultural sector in particular. In this regard, the DG IV responsible for education, culture and heritage, youth and sport coordinated a transversal Council of Europe exercise, the White Paper on Intercultural Dialogue, published in May 2008. It argues that our common future depends on our ability to safeguard and develop human rights, democracy and the rule of law and to promote mutual understanding. It offers an intercultural approach as a forward-looking model for managing cultural diversity.
In 2006, the Council of Europe - together with the European Commission and the European Youth Forum - launched the "All Different-All Equal Campaign for Diversity, Human Rights and Participation", followed by the recent "Speak out Against Discrimination" Campaign. It also launched the project "European Heritage Days" and engaged, as of 2008, in the Intercultural Cities project, both run as a joint venture with the European Commission.
Cities participating in the Intercultural cities programme undergo expert and peer reviews of their policies, governance and practice. This review takes the form of narrative reports and city profiles. The Intercultural Cities Index is a complementary tool, capable of illustrating visually the level of achievement of each city, progress over time, and enabling comparison with other cities. The Intercultural Cities Index - with a focus on the intercultural integration of migrants and minorities - attempts to assess and compare the current status and performance of 30 cities. The ICC Index aims to begin needed debates by highlighting a few facts and processes which suggest the level of interculturality of a city.
In 2008, as a follow up to the guidelines of the Council of Europe's White Paper on Intercultural Dialogue and the Declaration of the Baku Conference of Ministers of Culture, the "Artists for Dialogue" initiative was conceived as a scheme for encouraging collaboration and co-operation between artists and cultural actors/ mediators from Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East and Central Asia, in a long-term perspective.
In 2011, a report prepared by a Group of Eminent Persons entitled "Living together - Combining diversity and freedom in 21st century Europeè holds firmly that identities are a voluntary matter for the individual concerned, and that no one should be forced to choose or accept one primary identity to the exclusion of another. It argues that European societies need to embrace diversity. But this can work only if all long-term residents are accepted as citizens and if all, whatever their faith, culture or ethnicity, are treated equally by the law, the authorities and their fellow citizens. Like all other citizens in a democracy they should have a say in making the law, but neither religion nor culture can be accepted as an excuse for breaking it.

Brighton midfielder Liam Bridcutt hands in transfer request
BRIGHTON midfielder Liam Bridcutt has handed in a transfer request as former boss Gus Poyet attempts to take him to Sunderland.
The 24-year-old Scot has asked to leave the Championship club with the Black Cats in advanced talks for him and winger Will Buckley.
Sunderland are keen to land the pair with Bridcutt in particular somebody Poyet is very keen on as he looks to bolster the squad he inherited from former boss Paolo Di Canio.
Poyet has refused to discuss his January targets, but is known to admire Bridcutt after taking him to the Amex in August 2010.

You're supposed to learn something new every day. Meaning you should learn on average 7 things every week (math is awesome!). Here's what I've learned in the past few days:
- There is such a thing in football as a penalty for "excessive celebration". This is something I never hope to have in my own life.
- The 405 freeway in Los Angeles is ALWAYS a traffic jam. Even when it goes against all reason, there are more people on that highway than live in my hometown.
- I can eat tuna melts 5 days a week and still not be tired of them. This is a fact.
- There can be up to 40 grams of sugar in a can of soda. Definitely not worth it.
- Ketchup was invented in Asia. NOT at the American burger stand
- You can make Ramen noodle soup without the use of a seasoning packet.
- Ramen noodle soup made without a seasoning packet is way awesome. Especially when you add in some ketchup. Totally weird.
Here's my quandary – if I learned 3 of these facts in the same day do I get a laziness pass the rest of the week?
Anti-Ramen Noodle Soup
I used some Chinese noodles I found in the grocery store, but I might prefer in the future going with the egg noodles that the original recipe suggests. It still tasted great though so don't be afraid to use any noodles you have on hand. Even normal spaghetti would probably work.
Adapted from Mark Bittman
Serves 2
2 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
2 ½ tablespoons ketchup
½ tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 lb egg noodles, or any other noodle you prefer
Sliced green onions (optional)
Sriracha or other chili sauce (optional)
In a large pot of boiling water, cook the noodles. Drain and separate into two separate bowls.
Meanwhile in bring another pot with 3 cups of water to a simmer. Add in the soy sauce, ketchup and vinegar. Allow to simmer for at least 5 minutes and then ladle over the noodles. Add in the green onions and chili sauce if you prefer, and dig in!

I love Ramen, but the seasoning packet is basically pure salt! And I'm totally with you on #3– tuna melts are the best sandwich on God's Green Earth. Fo real.
- February 7, 2011 at 5:36 pm
This looks so delish and I can't wait to try it.
- February 7, 2011 at 6:12 pm
i love ramen! real ramen, i mean, not the instant stuff in the packet. this looks like a delicious and simple version! yum.
- February 7, 2011 at 6:25 pm
Ketchup, really? Who knew?
Anyway, hurray for tuna melts. I'm pretty sure I could eat them every day too.
- February 7, 2011 at 6:30 pm
These look delicious! I'm going to have to try this soon.
- February 7, 2011 at 6:52 pm
I love to do this! I leave out the seasoning packet, add soy sauce, a few coins of ginger and green onions. I fry an egg and put it on top. Instant lunch! I can't wait to try your version though!
- February 7, 2011 at 9:09 pm
yummmm…now please give your tuna melt recipe.
- February 8, 2011 at 12:47 am
I like using whole wheat spaghetti – kind of tastes like buckwheat noodles. nom nom
- February 8, 2011 at 3:19 am
This IS weird! Ketchup. I'm so down for trying this!
- February 8, 2011 at 5:41 am
There should never be a penalty for excessive celebration. In fact, I think you should get bonus points for that. Or a raise. Just saying.
I made myself so sick of the ramen packets during college that this sounds like a refreshing alternative!
- February 8, 2011 at 8:13 am
This looks great and so easy!
- February 8, 2011 at 11:37 am
This looks so easy and delicious! I agree with Joanne, there should be bonus points for best celebration. It's the best part.
- February 8, 2011 at 11:42 am
Ketchup…who would have thought? Glad you did! Bookmarking this.
- February 8, 2011 at 1:05 pm
This sounds interesting…I'd definitely like to try it. By the way, I can't STAND Ramen.
- February 8, 2011 at 11:22 pm
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy reading your blog everyday! The pictures are great and blurbs always put a smile on my face. Your such an inspiration to me.
Check out my blog:
Thanks again
- February 9, 2011 at 10:13 am
I … actually bought ramen just recently and was feelinging guilty! i'm going to try this!
- February 24, 2011 at 4:42 pm
Haha, I've always been boring and just made my ramen with a vegetable bouillon cube instead of the packet. I can't wait for this!
- April 4, 2011 at 1:44 pm
Wow! This base is even better than the Kikkoman's Memmi Noodle Soup Base. No MSG and can accommodate both meat and vegetarian eaters. No more Cup O' Salt for me. And tuna melts are the bomb, so are BLTs!
- August 12, 2011 at 9:31 pm
Can you cook the noodle sin the broth while it simmering? It seems like it would be one less pot to deal with.
- October 15, 2011 at 10:27 pm
I would probably cook the broth first, then add the noodles in if I really wanted to just do it as one pot. Or you could just reuse the pot you boiled the noodles in =]
- November 16, 2011 at 2:57 pm
This sounds really yummy! I'll have to try it sometime. I LOVE ramen (yes, even the instant kind) but all that salt is WAY outta line. Maybe making my own with this recipe will help me feed my cravings without the guilt of all the salt I'd normally be eating. Thanks!
- May 22, 2012 at 3:22 pm
Just finished making this recipe for my family (Mom makes us cook at least once a week ((the woes of being 18 in this day and age) )
Delicious! I sliced up some pork tenderloin and it cooked very nicely in the broth and added some nice flavour!
Thanks for the recipe, it was fantastic
- July 1, 2012 at 5:20 pm
The thing originally named "ketchup" was invented in China, but what we call ketchup in America (and is more properly called "tomato ketchup") is a purely American invention that bears little similarity aside from being a sauce. So it's not exactly authentic Asian fare, as being used here.
- August 30, 2012 at 11:50 am
This was amazing thank you!
- September 15, 2012 at 9:14 am
I actually used packaged ramen noodles for this. The water for the recipe simmers for 3 minutes which is ramen cooking time. After the noodles were cooked I spooned them out and mixed the other ingredients into the already hot water and put it back in the microwave for five minutes. Worked like a charm! Also, I bet if you sliced veggies very thin and put them in the water it would cook them just enough. Nice way to add some veggies
Thanks for the recipe!
- February 24, 2013 at 7:50 pm
Just made this tonight and it was so delicious! I added some sauteed red bell pepper (thinly sliced) and some cooked chicken to make it a little more hearty. It worked great with some whole wheat linguine I had in the cupboard. Such a surprising and great use for ketchup. Definitely will make this later.
I used the same pot i used to cook the noodles, but I dumped the water. I can see why it'd be quicker from reading the posts above, but I don't know about keeping that starchy water the pasta cooked in.
- January 24, 2014 at 8:55 pm
Great recipe! I made this with tomoshiraga somen, added more soy sauce and ketchup, and about a tsp of chicken bouillon, came out great and full of flavor!

The first phase of the FIFA Futsal World Cup Brazil 2008 is drawing to a close and, for those who wish to prolong their stay in the elite competition, slip-ups must be avoided at any cost. Paraguay knew just that prior to taking on tournament surprise packages Thailand, but the Albirroja kept their nerve to dole out an 8-0 futsal lesson, the most one-sided scoreline in Group B so far.
Starring for the Guaraníes was Rene Villalba, who racked up four goals and an assist against the Thais. "I think that I've scored four goals in a qualifying match before, but what matters is that the team won and qualification for the next phase is in our hands," the 27-year-old wide player said exclusively to FIFA.com.
Boasting six points from their three matches so far, Paraguay need a win over Chinese Taipei 2004 runners-up Italy to stay in the competition. The Azzurri, for their part, have taken maximum points from their three outings and have history in their favour.
Twice the two national teams have met in the first group phase at a FIFA Futsal World Cup, and on both occasions Italy emerged victorious, 7-5 at Hong Kong 1992 and 4-2 at Chinese Taipei 2004. Not that Villalba is unduly concerned: "The statistics also said we lost our two previous games against the United States, and yet we we beat them here (5-0)."
Sleeping with the enemy
Spice is also added to the forthcoming clash by the fact that half the Albirroja squad play their club futsal in Italy. Indeed, Villalba himself just won the Serie A1 title with Luparense, where he shares a dressing room with several players sure to line up against him on Wednesday.
"Yes, we know each other well and that's why it'll be a great game to play in. But they must be more anxious than we are," says Paraguay's top scorer with six goals so far. "We're going to approach the game in relaxed mood while staying totally focused, because whoever makes the most mistakes will lose."
The son of a former eleven-a-side footballer who played most of his professional career with Cerro Porteno, Rene is the third of four brothers, all of whom play futsal. In fact, the quartet even played together a few seasons ago in Italy for Reggio Calabria. And at Chinese Taipei 2004, he was part of the Paraguay squad alongside older brothers Carlos and Walter, with the latter also here in Brazil.
The free-scoring wide man feels that Italy will find the Guaraníes an altogether tougher prospect than in the 4-2 reverse four years ago. "Paraguay have made a lot of progress in recent years. At that moment in time, my team-mates and I had only just moved to Europe so we had less experience. Nowadays things have changed and that makes a difference."
That said, Villalba is aware the Albirroja are the underdogs going into tomorrow's game. "We've seen articles that have claimed Italy are already safely through, but I think they're going to find taking this last step very difficult," warns the Luparense man.
"That's because nowadays we capable of going toe-to-toe with any opponents. And what's more, if we do make it through, we're ready to spring more surprises."

Portfolio Risks - Duration and Stock Risks
The primary measure of bond price volatility is duration. It takes into account both the length of time to maturity and the difference between the coupon rate and the yield to maturity. Here are some of the most important facts about duration:
The longer the duration of a particular bond, the more its price will fluctuate in response to interest rate changes.
Duration is always equal to or less than the years to maturity of the bond.
Duration can help to calculate the impact of interest rate changes on the price of the bond. For example, a bond with a duration of 8 is likely to decrease 8% for every 100 basis points increase in market interest rates.
Duration is a weighted average term to maturity.
- As payment frequency increases, duration decreases.
Exam Tips and Tricks
A zero-coupon bond, with only one payment (at the end of the term), has the highest duration of any bond and is therefore the most sensitive to price changes due to interest rate changes.
Stock Risks
Here are some risks associated with investing in the stock markets:
Systematic risk - Also known as market risk, this is the potential for the entire market to decline. Systematic risk cannot be diversified away.
Unsystematic risk - This is the risk that any one stock may go down in value, independent of the stock market as a whole. This risk may be minimized through diversification. This also incorporates business risk and event risk (as described in the "Bond Risks" section).
Business risk- The risk that a company will not make enough money to stay in business.
Regulatory risk - The risk that laws may change and impact the business, industry or governmental entity, thus having an impact on the value of the security
- Other risks - Opportunity risk and liquidity risk (both described in the "Bond Risks" section) may also apply to stocks in a portfolio.

@Shinteikun Well Xbox hardware is 7 years old, and PC gamers use Witcher 2 to benchmark their PC's nowadays. My only question is will the PC version get an update that includes all the new cutscenes / locations / content that the Xbox version gets, I would imagine so, and if so when?
Finally, xbox players can enjoy this masterpiece! Tho, xbox version IS compromised... from what I've seen, it's not even close to ultra high specs on PC...
I am looking forward to playing this and have been for a while, I have my copy pre-ordered.
Not a game for kids, but if you're looking for a great mature game, you just can't miss it
Go Geralt, go! Show'em who you are!
Only a month to go! It's unstoppable now :)

A Bleak Outlook: Nov. Job Loss, Economic Weakness
Posted By admin On December 3, 2008 @ 1:44 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,U.S. News | Comments Disabled
Housing Wire

A brief pause for roasted turkey and mashed potatoes marked the only relative bright spot in an otherwise bleak month for American workers. November was filled with financial concern and employment markets bleeding job losses at alarming rates, according to monthly reports released this week.
Private sector employment decreased by 250,000 in November, according to a monthly National Employment Report released Wednesday by Automatic Data Processing Inc. (ADP) in partnership with Macroeconomic Advisers LLC. The report is based on actual payroll data and measures the change in total non-farm private employment each month, according to the ADP.
Small business employment (representing payrolls with one to 49 employees) was down 79,000 in November. Medium business employment (50 to 499 employees on payroll) dropped 130,000, while large business employment fell 41,000. "Falling employment at medium and small firms clearly indicates that the recession has now spread well beyond manufacturing and housing-related activities," said Macroeconomics chairman Joel Prakken in the report.
