I love your perspective on this old, but ever-so-appropriate "P-word". Bring on the Pampering! We deserve (and need) it.
The new "P" word in Spa Trends: Prevention
- Published: Monday, March 15th 2010
- in Industry Insights
I have come to peace with the word "pampering."
To understand why this is important to me, I'll start with the fact that the word pampering and I have been in a wrestling match for about 10 years. It started as a result of hearing my friend and colleague Bernie Burt, author of Fodor's Healthy Escapes and 100 Best Spas of the World, speak at an event in Asia where he said (emphatically I might add), "I hate the word pampering!" He suggested that the spa industry ban together and try and stamp it out. I was inspired and got on the bandwagon.
That was a decade ago. Back then, the term pampering was negatively affecting our spa industry. While we as spa professionals took ourselves (and the work we did to improve people's health) seriously, the word pampering was setting us back. Pampering often conjured up the idea of fluffy pillows, pink robes, primping, and indulgence. The dictionary defines pampering as "excessive indulgence that adversely affects the character, nature, or attitude" or "to treat with affectionate and usually excessive indulgence; coddle; spoil." Ouch! No wonder we wanted to distance ourselves from that picture.
And indeed we did. In fact, we made great progress these past 10 years, emphasizing health and stress reduction at spas rather than indulgence. We talk about helping people make important lifestyle changes. We trumpet spas as places centered around exercise, eating healthfully, stress reduction, therapeutic body treatments, the mind/body connection, balance, etc. I would go so far as to say that our collective movement in this direction has saved us from a worse fate during this past recession than we might have otherwise suffered. (2009 STR SPA REPORT shows that while hotel occupancy plummeted, spa usage did not decline in proportion – in fact was far more resilient.)
Then in came a "knight in shining armor." About five years ago the term "wellness" started rising in popularity. Wellness became a worthy challenger to the term pampering. "We are about wellness not pampering" became our mantra and it caught on with the industry, the media, and many consumers. Even the medical profession started taking spas more seriously. They began recognizing the benefits, began going to spas themselves, and some doctors even crossed the great divide and opened a medical spa. These days, as evidenced by the number of spas around the world (over 80,000) and the size of the yearly spa economy (over 255 billion), per SRI's recent Global Spa Economy Report, we have in many ways replaced the word pampering with the term wellness.
And now – an odd twist.
It appears as if the term pampering is bubbling up again, and this time we aren't so inclined to stamp it out. Why you might ask? Because our society has become so super stressed (note that it was about 10 years ago that a huge percentage of the population began becoming enslaved to the internet and adopted mobile devices) and we often find ourselves in an exhaustive state 24/7. Pampering is actually sounding pretty good!
Scientific evidence shows that stress is the cause of almost 75% of doctor visits and stress reduction is part of almost all doctors' recommendations these days. All of a sudden, pampering is being recognized as having tremendous stress-reducing benefits and is something to be encouraged. I liken it to the recent increase in awareness of the health value of sleep, something considered indulgent years ago is now being promoted.
In SpaFinder's 2010 Spa Trends report one of the top trends I identified was "The new "P" word – Prevention. Prevention has become the topic du jour while the pampering story has taken a back seat. However, I made sure to say that this isn't a "hello-prevention, goodbye-pampering sort-of-thing." It is more like hello prevention – and by the way, pampering is part of prevention!
Bernie was right 10 years ago….back then it was time to say goodbye to pampering. Today, I think it is time to once again say – hello!
So the next time I am resting in a cloud of pillows and they ask me if I want the pink heated mitts and booties with my treatment, I will in good conscious say absolutely – bring 'em on!

Great post Susie! I for one am glad to see pampering come back into good graces. The spa industry tried to turn its back on pampering but a quick search of twitter for "spa" and "pampering" will show that consumers never have. Recent research on the importance of touch, relationships, and social support for well-being suggests that pampering may not only be conducive to wellness, but a requirement. Rather than seeking to eliminate pampering from the world of spas, we should be asking why DON'T we get pampered in the other healing institutions in our society?↓
Mia Kyricos
Amen, Susie! In my mind, it's "Hello, Prevention and Welcome Back, Pampering". In our attempts to give more credence and authority to the spa and wellness related industries — and rightfullly so — we forgot the consumer who has told us repeatedly that spa and pampering often go hand-in-hand. And whether its to reduce stress, ensure a sound mind and body, or to enjoy a lovely dose of "oohs" and "aahs", it's simply a matter of staying well. Here's to our health!↓
Deborah Szekely
Delicious, absolutely lovely. I agree.↓

Everyone deserves some pampering(or prevention) every now and then. You are right , people have too much stress in their life brought on by their machines.↓
Dana Powers
As a graduate of Harvard's School of Public Health "way back when", I remember learning about the contribution stress makes to the onset of illness and early aging for decades. You've written a terrific and incisive article about the importance of stress reduction and the role spas can play here – my health club and also my skin care doctors group both have on-site facilities providing spa services.↓

Susie, this is a great piece. The spa industry goes far beyond "pampering" however, it is still a piece of the pie. I love it!! Great job, keep up the good work!!↓

Rock out with your Croc out, and your pizza in.Via Tribunali's decision to shut down its satellite pizzeria in the back of the Crocodile in September represents one of the city's quieter culinary divorces. It was, however, an amicable one, Croc spokesperson Kerri Harrop assures us. The silver lining is those pizza ovens made from Vesuvian ash (really!) are still in the back of the house, and the Croc'll still be using them for $6.50 personal pies. There'll still be salad and booze served as well.
"The wall that separated the restaurant from the showroom is now gone, which enables showgoers to move about more freely," adds Harrop. "We still have the awesome and sexy high-backed booths, the cozy bar, and the private dining room in the back...
The back bar is open every day of the week, from 4pm until 2am, and there is no cover charge. Meaning you can come kick it in the bar without going to the show--although you'll probably hear it. We've got a full bar, a whole bunch of beer taps, and Happy Hour drink specials every day between 4 and 7pm--$6 pitchers of High Life & Olympia, $1 off drafts and wells."
SW music editor Chris Kornelis is really excited about that wall coming down.

Choosing technology
How to go about choosing what software tools to use
This is for guidance purposes only, so don't take it as legal advice.
At different points in your project you'll have to choose one technology over others, which could be a choice between:
- programming languages
- databases
- libraries
- operating systems
- small tools that help the development team work more efficiently
- proprietary (commercial) and open source software, where relevant
You can change your mind
Assume that most of your technology choices can or will change, especially during the early stages of development, eg:
- selecting a programming language that's easier and quicker to prototype in, moving to another for the final product that's easier for large teams to use
- using an open source product to get started quickly, going on to buy a commercial (proprietary) product for required features (or vice-versa)
On day 1 of your project you simply won't know enough about the domain or the user need to select the right technology. It's OK to make an educated guess at this stage, as long as everyone understands this.
Be sure to find the time to challenge your selection as you learn more about the problem at hand.
Start with capabilities
When making choices on what technology to use, it's very easy to immediately jump to a specific product. This tends to be based either on past experience or on current trends.
- Take a step back and think about the capabilities of the technology you're after – eg are you looking for a relational database or a document database? A key/value store or a graph database?
- Discuss the capabilities you want, rather than any specific implementation.
- Once you've defined a set of capabilities, work out how you will test potential software solutions against those capabilities.
- Test software in an environment that's very similar to your production environment, ie at production scale under real conditions (including worst-case user load).
Carrying out this process will make sure that you:
- understand the specific characteristics of software
- identify any trade-offs or potential issues with a piece of software, eg the ideal fit with your domain model vs. performance under heavy load
- confirm that its claimed capabilities are genuine
When choosing technology, make sure you consider the total cost as well as any upfront fees.
Take into consideration costs for things like:
- staff
- support costs
- licensing costs (where applicable)
- the productivity of ongoing service improvement work
- any exit costs (especially around migration of data to a future replacement system) that might be caused by the use of non-open standard formats or protocol extensions
Make sure that you understand the cost implications of any unusually high user loads in production systems.
Involve everyone
Involve the whole team in technology choices. That doesn't mean no one is in charge of making decisions, but that you want the development team (including web ops people) to share their insight on:
- the options available
- how it will affect the overall system
Expect technology preferences to vary, and for opinions to be divided when choosing technology.
All things being equal, picking technologies that developers and operations staff like will typically result in improved productivity.
Testing and deployment
You'll make these processes a lot easier if you:
- deploy your service early and often
- choose component that are easy to deploy and upgrade as part of an automated pipeline
- avoid software that makes testing difficult - frequent, automated testing is essential in agile development
Technology lock-in happens when your previous decisions limit future decisions, possibly leaving you with only 1 option.
For example, if you select a database that runs on only 1 operating system, you have no choice about the operating system you'll use. If the costs of that operating system jump, you have no simple way of reducing that cost quickly or cheaply.
Being locked in to one vendor, or one way of doing things, can create difficulties like:
- unforeseen financial costs, eg an overnight increase in cost
- limiting how quickly you can iterate on your product in the future, eg if the ideal technology choice isn't compatible with your current vendor or technology
Over time, and after many decisions, you can find yourself in a situation where all your technology decisions are tightly coupled and you are locked-in to one vendor, or one way of doing things. This can have unforeseen financial costs (for example an overnight cost increase). It might also limit how quickly you can iterate on your product in the future (if, for instance, the ideal technology choice isn't compatible with your current vendor or technology).
When you decide on a certain technology, be sure to have a clear understanding of the cost or implications of moving away from it, and avoid lock-in whenever possible. This could mean choosing not to use certain features (eg non-standard extensions to protocols, APIs or programming languages), so you have the ability to move to another technology as and when.
In general, avoid making long-term commitments to any particular technology, product or supplier until you fully understand the problem you're trying to solve. Even then, make sure you maximise your future development options and avoid technology lock-in if at all possible.
New vs existing software
If there's an existing software solution that solves your problem, definitely think about using it.
If you're using software to satisfy a rare or niche need, you're less likely to find a tool that will serve and continue to serve those needs. In these situations, expect that you'll have to create new software.
However, there are many situations where it makes more sense to use existing software like:
- when you have a commodity need, because someone has probably already developed a solution to the common problem
- facing a niche problem that's peculiar to government, which has already been solved by another part of, or another, government and released as open source software
In most cases, many projects will have the same need so it makes little sense to reinvent the wheel for certain types of software, eg:
- development tools
- build tools
- utility libraries
- databases
- monitoring tools
Sharing software
Share software that's developed to meet the needs of government wherever possible under a permissive, GPL-compatible open source licence (eg MIT/X11 or 3-clause BSD) unless doing so would:
- create an unacceptable risk to the security of systems or processes that cannot be mitigated with reasonable efforts
- break existing contractual arrangements
- directly threaten national security
Sharing software means it can be widely used and improved by anyone in the world who has a similar need. It's important that other governments in particular have the opportunity to reuse the software you've created, because everyone deserves to have digital services so good that people prefer to use them.
For example GovSpeak and unicorn herder are small components that were developed as a part of GOV.UK. They're now used by several different organisations, and have received a number of public contributions.
In practice, sharing usually means:
- uploading the source code and documentation to a public source code repository
- keeping it updated with subsequent changes that you make (or accept from other people)
- putting in place appropriate information security assurance to reduce and mitigate the risk of an exploit appearing in publicly-viewable software
Store the 'master' version of your software on an internal source code control system and replicate the latest version to a public repository.
Reasons not to share software
Sometimes it's not possible to share software that was developed for the government by a third party because the third party retains ownership of the 'intellectual property' (IP) embodied in that software.
So, when working with third parties, Avoid contracts that:
- allow third parties to retain ownership of IP in software that's been developed for government
- restrict government's ability to share software under a permissive, GPL-compatible open source licence
On other occasions a team may take a risk-based decision not to share some of the software they've created, eg to avoid exposing the details of a particular risk-assessment algorithm or process to the public.
It's good engineering practice in any case to encapsulate software, and so often in this situation a large portion of the software for a given system or service can still be shared in public.
The default assumption should be in favour of coding in the open and sharing software widely. But if you have serious concerns about sharing source code in public, then CESG can provide you with advice based on your specific situation. See also the joint Cabinet Office / CESG statement on Open Source Software and Security.
Commercial or open source?
With the growth of free/open source software, many high quality technology products (databases, operating systems, programming languages, development tools, etc) are freely available for government and its suppliers to use and improve.
Yet a large market still exists for commercial software products, and the availability of open source software doesn't automatically mean that you can't choose a proprietary technology if it meets your needs.
Still, the policy of government is that open source will be selected on the basis of its inherent flexibility. This is norm when there is no significant overall difference to cost between open and non-open source products that fulfil minimum and essential capabilities.
For more information on how to make sure there's a level playing field between proprietary and open source software, see the:
- open source procurement toolkit
- section of this manual covering the use of open standards
Make sure that any decision to use existing software, whether open source or proprietary, doesn't stop you from sharing new software created under a permissive, GPL-compatible open source licence.
Coding in the open
A successful open source project will collect contributions from a large number of sources, both inside and outside of a single organisation. Allow developers time to review contributions, and answer issues and discussions raised by others using the software.
Make sure developers have:
- the ability to install and experiment with open source software
- environments to easily publish prototype services on the web
- convenient access to a wide variety of network connected devices for testing websites
- unrestricted access to collaboration tools like GitHub, Stack Overflow and IRC
Larger open source projects often develop an extension model that makes it possible for others to continue to use the service in a variety of often unexpected and possibly undesirable ways whilst keeping the core project coherent under the editorship of a small, trusted group of committers.
Take every opportunity to contribute back to the open source projects you use, which can be in the form of:
- source code
- patches
- bug reports
- feature requests
- sponsorship of developers and support staff
- engaging in community discussion groups
- giving public attribution to projects
Cite the open source code you use, as in the GOV.UK colophon – you can read more about this approach on the GDS blog entry about coding in the open.
Keys, passwords and other secrets must always be stored safely and securely away from source code following Kerckhoffs's principle. This separation of project code from deployed instances of a project is good development practice regardless of whether or not the software itself is shared in public.
It's advisable for large, significant projects to have a private space to discuss security issues and develop a patch. This removes the risk of flagging a vulnerability before a fix has been deployed. This is especially advisable if there's a small number of participating developers.
Why GDS do this
Choosing technology is important, but it's probably not quite as important as you think. What's important are the users of that technology and being able to produce quality at a sustainable pace and suitable cost. When making technology choices, and importantly as you develop your product and constantly reassess your selections, try and make decisions that:
- maximise developer productivity
- minimise total cost of ownership
- avoid lock-in
- make it easy for the government to share software that it creates

List of emoticons. A simple smiley This is a list of notable and commonly used emoticons or textual portrayals of a writer's mood or facial expression in the form of icons.
The Western use of emoticons is quite different from Eastern usage, and Internet forums, such as 2channel, typically show expressions in their own ways. In recent times, graphic representations, both static and animated, have taken the place of traditional emoticons in the form of icons. Emoticons can generally be divided into two groups: Western or Horizontal (mainly from America and Europe), and Eastern or Vertical (mainly from east Asia). The most common explanation for these differences is how the different cultures value different parts of the face, i.e. eyes often play a bigger part in figuring out mood in the East while the West puts the eyes as equal to the rest of the face.[1] Western The emoticon in Western style is written most often from left to right as though the head is rotated counter-clockwise 90 degrees.

Cuando abre un libro de poemas, el (no) lector de poesía redescubre un gozo olvidado que atesorará siempre pero que no buscará repetir hasta mucho después de un incierto margen de tiempo; en las librerías contempla con nostalgia la sección de versos mientras camina hacia la caja con la última novela de Houellebecq bajo el brazo; tiene uno o dos poetas favoritos que relee sin insistencia y algunas noches se imagina lo feliz que podría ser leyendo únicamente poesía. ¿Por qué es así?

Skip to comments.West Point hosts first wedding between two men
Posted on 11/02/2013 6:11:41 AM PDT by AbioticEdited on 11/02/2013 6:35:48 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) A wedding at West Point of two graduates will be the first at the storied military academy between two men.
Larry Choate III, class of 2009, will marry Daniel Lennox, class of 2007, on Saturday at the U.S. Military Academy's Cadet Chapel.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsdaily.com ...
All your base are belong to us.
West Point now open for sodomy.
Pioneers in desecration. How proud he must be.
This is a sad day for the military.
The Long Gay Line.
I can't wait for the military to award Rainbow Stars for Bravery While Being Gay....
Oh, how sweet!
There are no words...
Speak now or forever hold your peace.
There was recent all hands pinning ceremony where a male LCDR was pinned to CDR. The CDR doing the pinning also male and apparently the LCDRs significant other, kissed him on the lips and congratulated him.
How anyone could consider these two officers, let alone respect them is beyond me. Sickening to say the least.
Two current day Bendadick Arnolds.
Let's hear a cheer for the Rump Rangers! /s
This ain't your father's military.
'Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.'
Absolutely disgusting. HomoNazi Extremists have no respect for any institution
.... is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
What do you mean, "biblical"?
What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... The dead rising from the grave!
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
How gay is that?
The "army of one" theme has been replaced with "army of sodom". Great...thanks LIBs/DIMs.
Sometimes I just sit here and shake my head. I simply do not understand how this country has allowed itself to be driven into exiling itself away from G-d and morality into this irredeemable snake pit.
But you Lenny, will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters....
How lovely. America has become such a grotesque sewer of depravity and evil. I'm looking more and more at secession as the only real answer left.
What a dishonor and disgrace.
Nope. You will NEVER be "just like any other couple" no matter how much "approval" you get from our dear CIC who wants to destroy our military.
How much sicker can we get?
What man has done, man can undo. GOD will undo... HIS will be done.
Give parasites the right to vote, and let depraved marxist sex perverts run for office.
Not all bad news though, the faggots have now come out publicly and that will make it that much easier to purge them from the military once the WH is back in American hands.
Wait 'til you see their sabre arch.
I always knew that the USMA aka the "High School on the Hudson" was not a REAL Military college, this just confirms it.
No one white glove here!!!!
The Citadel 84
cringing, but I gotta know. What was their warfare specialty?
TAD.....Very appropriate comment.
TAD.....Very appropriate comment.
The army of one theme has been replaced with army of sodom. Great...thanks LIBs/DIMs.
How about an.. "Army of sixty-nine"...
We will vote out of office the vermin who promote such vile behavior.
And yes, I do miss Bush.
Obama and his ilk will rue the day come next November.
The academies should be shut down as they are in violation of the own Honor Codes.
Few seem to remember what Benedict Arnold was caught doing: trying to betray West Point to the enemy.
Looks like the job has finally been done.
I think that's where we're headed.
What a laughing stock we've become. While the imposter in chief destroys the military by purging top warrior generals, he's made a mockery of the military academies. It will be a rainy day in hell when I would support my kids or grandkids going off to war to fight under the imposter in chief and his scumbag associates.
Conservatives...flee the 'blue states'...while you still can.
These guys will be prime targets for fragging if they make it to combat.
Disgrace. Disgrace. Disgrace.

A Vancouver man injured when his parked car was hit by another car on Interstate 5 last week improved to serious condition by Monday night, officials said.
Samuel R. Brackeen, 27, was parked on the right shoulder of I-5 between the City Center and East Mill Plain Boulevard exits on March 22 when his car was hit from behind by a 2006 Subaru Forester driven by Preston D. Garrison, 41, also of Vancouver.
Brackeen was taken to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center with a head injury, internal injuries and fractured ribs, according to the Washington State Patrol. He was listed in critical condition last week.
Garrison, the driver of the other car, was sent to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center with cuts on his forehead and rib injuries. He was treated and arrested a few hours later on suspicion of vehicular assault.
Alcohol was a "big factor" in the crash, said Trooper Ryan Tanner, a state patrol spokesman.
The investigation is ongoing.

About myself
Well, for starters...I'm a tall slender, young looking (for my age) guy who is in search for the "Lady of My Life".
I am passionate, caring and have lots of love and commitment to give to a relationship.
I enjoy the outdoors and I love music and play a variety of different instruments.
I am willing to give my ALL to the right lady in a LTR filled with adventure and fun.
I might start out as shy at first but when she opens the door to my passions...watch out! Things can get pretty steamy and you may not be able to stop it once you open the package.
I prefer older women with class and experience in life however, I am open to anything and anyone who has experienced life's ups and downs.
I am mostly submissive to my woman's needs and desires and proud of the fact that I can generously do things for her that make her feel good and also meets those needs.
I have a soft and gentle touch, a soft voice and am warm to the touch...but I can also hold my own and say no to some things.
This may be a little too forward for here however, I love giving oral and have been told that i'm particularly good at it.
Further, I am not opposed to kissing and massaging my lady's feet and toes...(okay, I have a slight foot fetish) and I believe the way to a woman's heart is through her feet. After all, they keep em' stuffed in those pointy little pumps all day long and they gotta hurt when those shoes come off.
Ms. Right will experience my very own "Patented Foot Massage" in times like this.
The person I would like to meet
A lady of class and stature, she has a strong mind and thoroughly believes in herself.
She's not afraid of adventure and is willing to try new things.
It's ok if she always gets her way as I am willing to please her in every way (including sexually).
She has a passion for everything she can get out of life and will strive to have the things she wants.
She is able to love and be loved, touch and be touched.
If she gets kinky with her man, so be it.
She gets involved in intimacy and goes at it with her heart and soul.
Not afraid to have her man rub her feet or massage her sensually as he whispers dirty little things in her ear.
A seductive nature is a plus as is a dominant personality...after all...I am a man, and men need guidance.
She is comfortable in jeans or all decked out in heels and hose and takes pride in her appearance.
Public displays of affection are fine in appropriate situations.
About my work
I play music in a band.
What do you like to do for fun/hobbies?
Outdoors things like camping and hiking. Music.
My idea of a great date
Anything that involves closeness and being together.
What is your academic background?
Music, Journalism and Visual Communications
What do you find attractive in people?
What do others do that irritate you?
Drunk Driving
What do you think is your best quality?
My smile along with my passions and fantasies...just ask me.
What one question would you want answered in an initial email from another member?
Did you like my profile?
Describe your physique.
Tall and slim...I can hide behind a tree and jump out and startle you.
Long arms that can wrap around her.
Russian fingers and Roman hands.
What do you do well sexually?
Now that's not fair!
What is the favorite thing you like sexually done to you?
This isn't either!
What fantasy(s) are you still waiting to experience?
Tied to my woman's bed so she has complete control over me and can do anything she wants.
Long periods of this are ok.
What fantasy(s) have you already experienced?
Do you have any STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)?
No...I am clean and healthy. I wouldn't be here otherwise.
STD's are a very serious problem in the world today and I would never subject anyone to a risk like that.
Are you looking for a one night stand, to play for a while, or a long-term Adult relationship?
I prefer a Long Term Relationship but willing to take time to know each other.
I can take my time and not rush.
Free Space. Say anything you want!
So...what are you waiting for...ya' better get me before someone else does.

thanks i would have loved to shoot on film but this time i only had the digital camera with me..

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution
Shame on you for releasing Raven, Steiner, and Tomko. All could've been used as big players in this thread. The rest, however, are expendable. Hopefully you can go your own ways with this, and I wish you good luck.
Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution
Didn't expect a TNA thread from ya Shocker but either way you'll do good with it. :P Shame on releasing Raven, he's awesome :(. Other than that, it looks good thus far, as a few other TNA 2010 threads do, so I wish you luck. I'll be reading.
Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution
Shame your old thread ended because I was really getting in to that. I wonder how Jon will feel about you doing a TNA thread as well but I wish you the very best of luck as you certainly have the talent. Hopefully this will go far.
Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution
I can't wait to read more! Hopefully this TNA thread takes off it seems like everyother one hasn't went very far.
Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution
Good luck with your BTB. I hope I'll be able to follow along with it
Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution
I wish you luck wih it shocker. N doubt you will do a great job. Shame you fired Raven though. Not caring much for releases of Tomko and Steiner.

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution
Looking good so far. I'm all for the release of Stiener, doesn't offer much nowadays except for sometimes a hilarious promos. I'm a big fan of TNA, so glad I'm going to follow this from the very beginning. You're a fairly good booker from what I remember from when I was last properly active so no problems there.
Stick with it and ... push The Pope plz.:side:

Florecitas De Villa Hermosa Group
For ten years, Virginia has been making a living by selling beauty care products. She started this business by first selling door-to-door in small quantities and with time was able to save up some capital that allowed her to set up a storefront in her home where she now sells a variety of beauty care products of different brands. Thanks to her efforts and dedication, she has been able to improve her income, and now her children go to a good school, and, most importantly, have a better quality of life. Virginia will use the loan to buy merchandise for her business. She will work hard to achieve her goals and this loan from Edaprospo will help her in this effort.
Additional Information
About EDAPROSPOEDAPROSPO seeks to use micro-credit to foster productive commercial activity for the sake of economic and social development within vulnerable urban and rural sectors traditionally neglected by commercial banks. By offering innovative products such as technical education loans and microfinance groups for young people, EDAPROSPO helps disadvantaged Peruvians lift themselves out of poverty.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

House of Cards a sensation in China, but will it be censored?
Netflix show has Chinese social media users applauding what they believe is a largely accurate depiction of Chinese palace politics.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
WASHINGTON—"Everyone in China who works on this level pays who they need to pay."
Mild spoiler alert: these are the words of the fictitious Xander Feng, an influential Chinese billionaire on the Netflix series House of Cards, a show that follows the machinations of U.S. Representative (and later vice president) Frank Underwood to agglomerate power and crush whoever stands in his way.
The phrase is also now viral on the Chinese Internet, which has proven surprisingly hospitable to the show. The newly debutedsecond season received more than 9 million views in the first weekend, compared to more than 24 million for the first season, released March 2013 in China.
Read more on thestar.com:
Despite having its arguably Sinophobic moments — in addition to Feng-as-villain, the show depicts a stateside Chinese businessman hiring both male and female sex workers, and a U.S. casino laundering Chinese money to fund a Congressional Super PAC — the show has Chinese social media users applauding what they believe is a largely accurate depiction of Chinese palace politics.
It engages Communist Party corruption, elite infighting and the often-outsized influence of the moneyed class with a directness that few domestic shows dare hazard.
The colourful Feng, for example, alludes to scheming with members of the Chinese government to force a more liberal financial policy, not to mention bribing high officials outright. The result is a portrait of Chinese elite skulduggery convincing enough that one user wondered aloud in jest whether the show's screenwriters had planted an undercover agent in party ranks.
None of this means the show's writers have spared U.S. policy-makers. Chinese web users continue to praise House of Cards for providing what they believe is a glimpse into wrongdoing at the highest levels of U.S. government.
One user lauded the show's screenwriters, who "really understand China-U.S. relations" and have also managed to "reveal how the U.S. government works." However overwrought that depiction may be, it's convincing enough that Chinese media has reported that Wang Qishan, chief of the party's internal discipline organization and member of the Politburo Standing Committee, has "repeatedly brought up" the first season series in talks with colleagues.
If Chinese netizens have a major concern, it's that the show is a candidate for "harmonization," neo-Orwellian Chinese slang for online speech that offends authorities enough to trigger the censors' invisible axe.
On Sina Weibo, China's Twitter, one user urged viewers to "hurry up and download it," while a number of others wrote they had watched the show as quickly as they could in the expectation it would soon vanish. That's because Chinese censors continue to come down hard on productions that cross an invisible red line.
For now, Chinese authorities appear willing to forgive the show's edgy moments, perhaps in what they view as a fair trade: occasional pot shots at China allowed, so long as the U.S. political system looks every bit as rancid.
In fact, the treatment of China as the key U.S. rival may pay a backhanded compliment to Chinese citizens and apparatchiks alike.
On Sohu, one user declared that although House of Cards "doesn't make China look great," much of what the show depicts is accurate. And, he continued, at least the series "takes China seriously."

Review Details
Carhartt Men's Long Sleeve Workwear Henley T-Shirt K128
Product Review (submitted on March 14, 2014):
Great product, made in America, built to last. I work in my clothes and need a product that works just as hard. I dont like spending my money twice on a shirt that should last for a couple of years. This product holds up to the test of time and looks good doing it. Ruralking had it in my size and was a quick ship. Did what they said and exceeded expectations. Next time I need one I will buy this brand from this store, even though I never set foot in there store.

Thanks. It is my personal favorite of all my hearts.
I saw your DD and this is the design that caught my eye the most. The design and colors make me think 'renaissance'... knights and ladies and castles and things. I love the vibe this gives off, and the composition is just stunning for a fractal piece. Wonderful work.

Very nice work! The colors work very well together. I guess I need to peruse more sections of dA. I made a heart fractal also, but yours is way better. I checked out your gallery and you have some awesome works there.
pure heart variation? Looks like you got some sort of heart/waves combination maybe even spiral. Superb work tom, very pleasing to the eye, great colors, spot on shape. I like how the hear looks full or should i say filled rather than flat and un-dimensional if thats even a proper word. Anyhow great render
interesting...nice ^^
Very nice, you have to show me how you do that hehe.
Nice one Tom.
x.x I'm not as much a fan on this one than your others... but it's still fantastic.

Here's a Vikings Reporter Getting Trucked [Video]

Oh, and watch out for that guy that's hiding in the bushes because he's going to run your ass over. Perhaps that was meant to be a metaphor for what the Packers were going to do to the Vikings.

Usually, my 5 y/o DS is well behaved. For everyone else (including DH), he's sweet, polite, respectful, sociable, etc. That is, for everyone else except me. I am the one DS is closest to and I realize that kids tend to act out more with the people they're closest to because it's a sign of their comfort level and being able to let go.
My DS is also sensitive and easily frustrated. When he acts out, he REALLY acts out by physically lashing out (hitting, kicking, biting, scratching, spitting, etc.), bad attitude, not listening, etc. I've tried various methods to get him to calm down, like asking him if he needs a hug and a kiss (his suggestion - sometimes it works) or breathing techniques (take a deep breath, count to 10, another deep breath, rinse, lather, repeat), asking if he needs to take a break (he's allowed to go up to his bedroom to calm down), etc. He knows it's okay to feel mad/frustrated or whatever but it's NOT okay to be mean to other people or things.
The problem is that things will go swimmingly well and then he'll get frustrated over something (like homework) so he'll throw his pencil across the room. (Now, he knows how to ask for help but even when I'm helping him at his request, he gets mad at me sometimes.) When he throws his pencil, I remind him it's not okay to throw the pencil. This seems to trigger (or like flipping a light switch) and BAM, it's like there's a completely different personality. He will try to swat at me so that's when I implement various methods to get him to calm down. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. If they don't work, he goes into full fledged physically lashing out mode.
Most of the time, I'm able to keep my voice even keeled when I'm politely but firmly reminding him of the rules. I've had to grab his wrists and say "No. That is not okay. You are not allowed to hurt me." It's when I find myself getting angry that I really get frustrated with myself for not being able to stay calm. I know my anger is not helping the situation but I start yelling, which really doesn't help. I've given myself time outs before by going in the bathroom and locking the door, which only enrages him even more because then he'll pound on the door and yell.
I don't want to be the yelling mom. I do not spank him but there are times I do have to physically restrain him (like holding him in a bear hug from behind) so he can't attack me (that sounds so awful to say). I give time outs and I've had to remove privileges (like screen time) and toys. DS knows I give warnings and follow through with them. He also knows that if it's not okay to do _____ at school, it's not okay to do it at home. (His teacher is amazed that he acts out at home because he's so well behaved at school so she doesn't believe me.)
What else can I do to help my DS when he's raging? How can I change my approach? What am I doing wrong? This is so unbelievably frustrating.
P.S. Sorry for the long post.

Leicester school budget revote set for TuesdayBy Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer | April 08,2013LEICESTER — Residents will return to the polls today to vote on a revised budget for the Leicester School District.
The School Board is proposing a budget of $1,117,640 for fiscal year 2013-14, an increase of $56,982, or 5.3 percent, compared to the current budget of $1,060,658.
On Town Meeting Day, residents defeated a proposed budget of $1,127,521 by a vote of 73 to 65. That proposal would have raised the budget by 66,863, or 6.3 percent.
The School Board has trimmed $9,881 from the first proposal.
The revised proposal would raise the residential tax rate from $1.32 to $1.39, or about a penny less than the prior proposed budget.
Residents will vote from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Town Offices.MORE IN This Just InWHITE RIVER JUNCTION A New Hampshire man is expected to spend nine months in jail in his home...

Sprint Caves In Clearwire Battle at $5 a Share
TheStreet) -- Sprint (S) has offered Clearwire (CLWR) $5 a share for the company's remaining stock, as the telecom tries to thwart blocking from Dish Network (DISH - Get Report) in its planned consolidation efforts.Sprint's $5 a share offer and the bid's acceptance from a special committee of Clearwire's board of directors indicates the telecom is trying to finish its merger ahead of key shareholder meetings through June. The revised offer, a 47% premium from Sprint's last $3.40 a share bid for Clearwire, also signals the company is caving to pressure from Dish. Dish has frustrated Sprint's plans at a merger with Japanese telecom SoftBank and in its acquisition of Clearwire, causing rising takeover prices at multiple stages of a near one-year long consolidation effort. "The revised offer demonstrates Sprint's commitment to closing the Clearwire transaction and improving its competitive position in the U.S. wireless industry," Sprint said in a statement. With valuable wireless spectrum assets, Clearwire is an important piece of Sprint's multi-billion dollar, multi-year effort to revamp its wireless service and better serve rising smartphone data usage. Sprint's upgrade, Network Vision, seeks to build a nationwide 4G LTE network. "The Clearwire board and special committee have determined that the $5.00 per share transaction with Sprint represents the best path forward for the company and is in the best interest of our unaffiliated stockholders," Erik Prusch, President and CEO of Clearwire, said in a statement. Sprint started its bidding for Clearwire shares over a year ago at $2.90 a share, however, a series of proposals floated by Dish has led to the wireless broadband service's rising price. Earlier in June, Dish Network unveiled a $4.40 a share tender for Clearwire's remaining shares, in a proposal Sprint called illegal. Prior to Thursday's revised offer, Sprint filed a lawsuit claiming Clearwire's recommendation of Dish's $4.40 a share offer over its $3.40 a share offer infringed on the company's rights as an initial Clearwire equity holder. At times in Sprint's acquisition efforts, Clearwire has said to objecting shareholders and competing bidders a lack of cash could put the company at risk of bankruptcy. In recent years, Sprint has injected billions into Clearwire to keep the company afloat. Sprint will be buying approximately 50% of Clearwire shares it does not currently own, in a deal that values Clearwire at about $14 billion. Clearwire could have cost as much as $7 a share after Dish entered the fray, according BTIG Research. Clearwire's special committee has gone from recommending Dish's offer ahead of the June 24 shareholder meeting to recommending Sprint's revised offer. Key Clearwire shareholders such as Mount Kellett Management , Glenview Capital Management, Chesapeake Partners Management and Highside Capital Management have agreed to vote in favor of Sprint's offer. Collectively those funds own 9% of Clearwire's voting shares. Comcast (CMCSA), Intel (INTC) and Bright House Networks have also agreed to vote in favor of Sprint's offer. As part of the deal, Clearwire will be required to pay a termination fee of $115 million, or 3% of Clearwire's total equity value, if it breaks Sprint's revised offer.Updated from 3:36 p.m. ET to reflect closing Clearwire share prices and additional information throughout.

I have been invited to go to a wedding next Saturday. I would rather have my rectum pulled out through my mouth. Why? It's a hard right evangelical wedding. I promised my Sister I would go and she promised to keep me out of fights. This is the third wedding for my "in the closet", homophobic, family member.
I hate to be cliche', but keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I am going for the sake of a terminally ill family member, whom I may never see again.

I was horrified the first time I confronted a baked oyster.
Although my childhood shellfish exposure was limited to the oyster crackers that my mother served with chili, I'd watched enough black-and-white movies to be vaguely aware of oysters Rockefeller and clams casino. But once I'd tasted an oyster, I couldn't imagine wanting to disguise its delicate flavors with heaps of spinach and a dose of Pernod. Burnishing an oyster with cheese and bacon seemed like a still worse idea. An oyster is not a pizza crust, I griped.
Yet as I traveled to legendary oyster towns, I realized restaurant kitchens meant no harm with their jalapenos and onions and Monterrey jack cheese. When Papa Joe's in Apalachicola, Fla. anoints its oysters with cheddar and hot sauce, or Gilhooley's in San Leon, Tex. grates Parmesan over its oysters before grilling them, the brilliance lies not just in the balancing of fat and brine, but in the audacity of branding bivalves with a local stamp. Paradoxically, carpeting an oyster with extra ingredients is an expression of oyster pride.
My favorite baked oysters in Seattle are served at Shuckers, the oyster bar at the Fairmont Olympic. There are eight different preparations on Shuckers' current menu, including oysters cooked up with smoked salmon and marinara sauce. There's also a terrific house-smoked oyster that tastes exactly like you'd make if you and your buddies were on the beach with a match and a burlap sack.
But top honors belong to the slightly sweet Olympic oysters, topped with Dungeness crab, bacon and a wisp of tomato hollandaise. For eaters who can't taste merroir, that's an oyster that shouts Seattle. At Shuckers, there are always tourists listening. But with an oyster this good, there should be local oyster lovers listening too.

Is it really racist to say that Arab cafes are not blown up by Jewish suicide bombers? Is it really racist to say that Arab planes are not hijacked by Jewish terrorists? Is it really racist to say that human rights, justice, and economic success, are more progressive in Israel than in the Arab countries? It's not ethnic cleansing if the Arabs who live in the Land of Israel, all decide that they'd rather move to live under the dictatorial rule of whichever corrupt despot seems most attractive to them at the time. It's certainly not ethnic cleansing if instead, the Arabs choose to stay in the Land of Israel, because they know that the Jewish state even provides non-Jews standards of education, justice, prosperity and equality that Arab countries couldn't. It IS racist, and it IS ethnic cleansing, if the Arabs want to drive Israel back to the sea, and destroy the Jews. Listen to what their TV, radio, propaganda say. The threat exists, and it isn't racist to deal with it!

Efterklang, courtesy Rasmus Weng Karlsen
Raphael Saadiq plays Showbox at the Market tonight at 8 p.m., for $23; for more on that, go read Brian Barr's feature on him.
There's also the Patsy Cline tribute at Columbia City Theater tonight, which our lovely Rocket Queen wrote about in her column this week.
Efterklang, a Danish band that sometimes features Portland dweller Peter Broderick (who will also play a solo set tonight), appear at Nectar Lounge this evening. Their most recent album, Parades, is a sumptuous pop opus (though some of the songs sound more like funeral dirges than parade music), and I can attest to the quality of their awesome live shows as well. If you're on the fence, you can download some of the band's music on their website. Awesome local pop band The Kindness Kind opens. That show starts at 8 p.m. and costs $10.Brujeria, Skarp, Owen Hart, Super Happy Story Time Land at El Corazon, $22, all ages
Brujeria released its debut album Matando Güeros in 1993, before the advent of widespread Internet information dissemination. So when the group's label Roadrunner characterized its members as "Satanic, murderous drug dealers" and bilingual fans translated the violent lyrics ("Matando Güeros" = "Killing Whites," a title reinforced by an album cover depicting a decapitated head held by an off-camera hand), listeners naturally regarded this masked band with fear and awe. Eventually, researchers pulled down Brujeria's bandanas, figuratively speaking, and the realization that these guys weren't witchcraft-practicing criminals (and some weren't even Mexican) disillusioned those who wanted to believe that real, exotic metal evil exists. For others, the musicians' prestigious identities more than offset the lost mystique. The death-grind outfit's current lineup includes Carcass' Jeffrey Walker ("El Cynico," on bass), Napalm Death's Shane Embury ("Honcho," on guitar), and former Cradle of Filth drummer Adrian Erlandsson ("Podrido"). Little is known about Juan Brujo, but recent performances have confirmed this ferociously guttural singer is in fact human, not a grizzly trained to growl in Spanish. ANDREW MILLER

Reminds me of a guy we had in my college who was working on something like his 6th undergrad degree.
I used to live across from her roomate (which she fooled) last year. Funny stuff though. This girl is planning to write a novel about her experience so I think there's some motivation for what she did-making cash out of controversy. This story is rated # 1 on ******.com.

Actually, I'm kinda impressed, in perhaps a perverse kind of way. Rather clever, and not as though she robbed a bank. Doesn't even appear that she robbed Stanford of any educational "value." Rather, she needed a place to crash, found one, and seems to have hurt no one in any intentional way.
Yes. It's wrong, wrong, wrong, that she didn't pay for her tiny room. Prosecute her for theft of a room. But, ya gotta admit, she's clever, and rather astute. A real businesswoman in the making.
Beats the hell out of those on the campus near my house who actually assault students, sometimes at gunpoint.

Awesome. I love it. This kind of stuff makes me have hope for the future.
On a side note, speaking of imposters, I had these friends who were identical twins, and went to the same college, were roomates, and had the same major and schedule, and dressed the same. They usually took exams for one another- they would split up the schedule and each one would take a half.
I like your avatar.
That happened when I was living in the dorms at Sacramento State. A guy's GF got evicted from her place so she just moved into his dorm room. She'd sneak into the building and to eat behind people, never had a key, wouldn't go to class, basically everything the girl in the article did. I don't think the RA's knew and if they did, they didn't care. We all thought it was funny this guy was hiding his GF in his room.

A Rutland woman has denied a felony charge for allegedly chauffeuring a drug dealer around the city for $15.

Immortalized Hearts
There is a tale that, long ago, there was a beautiful girl with hair and flesh like moonbeams, and eyes that could pierce the soul. Her mother dressed her in vibrant silks and lace like patterns of frost. Her mother named her Fynnavhair.
When Fynnavhair was a very young little girl, her mother unknowingly took her to a Goblin Market. Therein, magnificent creatures of all shapes and forms gathered to trade and barter. That fateful day, Broadinan, King of Faerie, saw little Fynnavhair and became taken with her. So besotted with her was he, he watched after her as she blossomed into a gentle, kindhearted maiden from afar, his heart growing fonder of her by the day. But as his love for her grew stronger, his magic touched her, and she became more like a faerie. She could not lie or stand the smell of iron. She found herself daydreaming incessantly and dancing by moonlight, stars and in the rain.
