Some years back Private Eye ran one of their spoof competitions – something like, MURDER SOMEONE AND WIN A MINI METRO! I couldn't help recalling this when it transpired that 31-year-old bricklayer Nathan Hageman, the first contestant on the new quiz show Red Or Black? to become a millionaire, was a convicted woman-beater. BEAT UP A BIRD AND WIN A MILLION!
With all the sneakiness, cowardice and blame-shifting typical of your average practitioner of the delicate art of domestic violence, Hageman at first claimed that he had spent two-and-a-half years in jail after defending himself from a threatening love rival – and went on to blame it on his parents' divorce when he was 11! "My education suffered very badly. I wasn't going to school and ultimately I didn't take my exams. It's no excuse and I take full responsibility for what happened." He added that he was also planning to give his mother "the retirement she deserves".
And a clip round the ear if she looks at him funny, no doubt – in my experience, men who beat up women are generally up for slapping their old mums too, these have-a-go heroes of the home and hearth. If they have a kiddie, why should we trust them – they'll probably lash out at it, too. Until it gets big enough to hit them back. And woe betide the cat if it gets in the way of their foot. In fact, the one type of sentient being they're NOT interested in engaging with violently is one who looks remotely equally matched in terms of physical strength. So they're not just a nutter, but a bully. JACKPOT!
Hageman was sentenced to five years for aggravated burglary and assaulting a former girlfriend – of which he served half. This creep's anger was directed at a woman, and therefore his crime is not taken as seriously as a "hate crime" – one based on racial origin or sexual preference – would be, despite the fact that there are not two racially – or homophobically – motivated murders each week, every week. If Hageman had been jailed for a homophobic or racial attack, would he still be allowed to keep his million pounds? I very much doubt it.
ITV have belatedly set about beefing up the background checks on their would-be beneficiaries, and weeded out two who didn't come up to scratch – we can only surmise why, but probably one of them mugged an old lady because he saw mummy kissing Santa Claus and the other set a cat on fire because he was goosed by the Tooth Fairy, judging by Nathan Hageman's rationale of why he feels the need to assault women.
No matter, the message that domestic violence is not as bad as other kinds, that a man's home is still effectively his castle, harem and torture chamber – in the same week as the crimes of Fred West came under the spotlight once more – came over loud and clear from this most unlikely of prime-time playpens.
Illogical and hysterical I may be, and no doubt I'd benefit from a swift slap, but I will find it hard to look at those cheeky chappies Ant and Dec from now on without seeing – to paraphrase an older, nastier big brother – a fist punching a female face, forever.
The only time Jonathan Ross ever made me laugh
Jonathan Ross is back – lock up your grand-dads, because we all know what a kick this half-wit gets from tormenting pensioners. I'll NEVER understand what anyone sees in this woefully unwitty man. I can honestly say that the only time he's ever made me laugh was when those paparazzi pictures of him blubbing like a baby at a sidewalk café because he thought he thought his missus was doing the dirty with some little-league pop-star were published, many years ago. Almost as funny as dry-drunk Russell Brand's face this week when he had to act as his well-refreshed wife Katy Perry's designated driver. Again, again!
Here's how to deal with online abuse
In the old days, many sexual and social inadequates wrote anonymous letters; now, many go online and post under fanciful names, as my colleague John Walsh pointed out in this column yesterday with reference to the trolls of University Challenge.
The producers of the show have reassured us that contestants are given a number to call if they needed "advice and support" over abuse. But the key to dealing with the abusers is the same as it was with curtain-twitching spinsters – which online trolls are merely the souped-up, potty-mouthed male version of. Like your dad used to tell you about spiders, they're more frightened of you than you are of them – for envy is a kind of fear, a creeping kind which eats the soul and murders empathy. If you are chosen to bear the brunt of trollish wrath, think of it as volunteer work for an unspecified charity. If you think of yourself as a useful outlet for people who might otherwise be beating up prostitutes or tormenting animals, you will find it much easier to bear – enjoyable even.
A splendid, elderly, rigorously Christian ex-Samaritan of my acquaintance once told me that of all the imminent suicides and terminally ill people she had listened to over the years, the people she felt most sorry for were the anonymous masturbators – "And I never hung up the phone until they were finished, for the poor creatures must've been SO lonely..."
Just think of your trembling trolls in this way, O lovely University Challengettes, and you won't be able to help but smile – kindly, one hopes. But heck, if you want to laugh at them instead, it's all good.

Ein Juwel persönlicher Fürsorge mit deutlich spürbarem Spaß der Besitzer daran, alles möglichst schön zu machen. Es gibt Frühstück mit Kaffee und O-Saft, süßen Teilchen, Bagels, Cornflakes und Co. sowie Obst, das wir am Pool einnehmen können. Die Lage direkt am Strand ist großartig. Die Zimmer sind nicht groß aber verfügen über eine vollwertige Küche.

Not an issue for us, so we moved a couple of tables over. We ended up liking the new table location better anyway. During dinner, Patrick and Michael made friends with the bartender. She was high fiving them and offering them fun drinks such as Shirley Temples. Dinner was very tasty. We are used to having ...

Brad made a cursory look around, but he was on a strict timetable and he didn't have time to search for missing hats and shredded passports. That passenger is more than likely still regretting not listening to Brad's sage words of advice. A short show followed where Zane demonstrated how alligators have sensors in their jaws that enable them to eat while sleeping. They ...

It was sort of a scary thought because that meant I would have to figure out my gates and connecting flights and all that jazz by myself.

Hey folks. Seized by inspiration, we have launched yet another venture in blogdom. We're hopeful that this will amount to something, and equally hopefule that our DCist chums might pass word of this along to Gothamist.

HOW long, O Lord, shall this, my country, be
A nation of the dead? How long shall they
Who seek their own and live but for the day,
My country hinder from her destiny?
Around me, Lord, I seem again to see
That ancient valley where the dry bones lay,
And 'tis in vain that long I wait and pray
To see them rise to men resolved and free.
Yet sure, O Lord, upon this land of death

In Regard to Reviews: I'm a review whore. If you review my writing I'm normally pretty good at replying and wandering over toward your page to see if you have anything written in one if my fandoms, if you do, expect a review. I leave a lot of constructive criticism splattered everywhere, hopefully I haven't offended too many people.
Thank you if you've reviewed any one of my stories, you guys are the reason I'm improving.
13/2/07 As far as my updates go I'm sure you'll hear from me from time to time. But I am trying to challenge myself, as I feel I'm at a standstill, and will probably be focusing most of my attention on branching out into original fiction. I'll still be an avid reader though, even if my updates only come now and then.

Another kiss on stage

No curving this time… Drake's second show in Miami last night. And this time, Rihanna joined him on stage. The last time they were on stage together, at the VMAs, the internet lit up with speculation about whether or not she avoided his mouth. There was no avoiding here. In fact, after the kiss, he goes in full body, and she accepts with both arms and then a hand swipe of his neck: #Aubrih tonight. 💏 #rihanna #drake Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Since last Monday I've been dealing with some kind of eye stye.

Rihanna will receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award on Sunday at the VMAs, held for the first time at Madison Square Garden. And she will be performing in celebration of the honour.

The art of disruption is about shattering the norm, setting creativity free, and forging a radical new vision of the world. It was in 1975 that a mad scientist named Jim Jannard set out to question the limits and disrupt the norms of an entire industry. Starting Oakley with little more than $300 and an obsessive drive that everything can and will be made better.

North Carolina gubernatorial election, 2008
County Results
|Elections in North Carolina
The North Carolina gubernatorial election of 2008 was held on November 4, 2008, coinciding with the presidential, U.S. Senate, U.S. House elections, Council of State, and statewide judicial elections. Democrat Bev Perdue won the election.[1]
Because incumbent Governor Mike Easley was term-limited, the open-seat race was contested between Democrat Beverly Perdue, Republican Pat McCrory, and Libertarian Michael Munger. Likewise, Democrat Walter H. Dalton, Republican Robert Pittenger and Libertarian Phillip Rhodes vied to replace term-limited Lt. Governor Perdue. For details on that election, see North Carolina lieutenant gubernatorial election, 2008.
- May 6, 2008 – Primary elections.[2]
- Oct. 10, 2008 – Last day to register to vote in general election.[2]
- Oct. 16 – Nov. 1, 2008 – "One Stop" registration and early voting[2]
- November 4, 2008 – General election.[2]
Candidates Richard Moore, Dennis Nielsen, Robert Orr, and Bev Perdue took part in a forum on January 26, sponsored by the state chapter of the NAACP.[3]
The statewide syndicated TV program, NC Spin, held debates for both parties' candidates in April.[4]
- Richard H. Moore, State Treasurer[5]
- Dennis Nielsen, Retired USAF Colonel[6]
- Beverly Perdue, Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina[7]
Moore and Nielsen appeared on the edition of NC Spin broadcast April 13 on most stations, but Perdue declined the invitation to participate.[8] Perdue and Moore met for their final pre-primary debate at WRAL-TV, which was broadcast on several stations across the state on April 22.[9]
On May 6, 2008, Perdue won the Democratic nomination for Governor, defeating State Treasurer Moore and Nielsen.[10]

- Bill Graham, Salisbury attorney and head of conservative group [12]
- Pat McCrory, Mayor of Charlotte (re-elected in 2007)[13]
- Robert F. Orr, former state Supreme Court Associate Justice [14]
- Elbie Powers, farmer, crop duster,[15] vice president of NC Pecan Growers Association[16]
- Fred Smith, North Carolina state senator[17]
McCrory reportedly commissioned a poll to test the waters for a run for Governor in November 2007, shortly after his re-election victory, but well after other Republican gubernatorial candidates began campaigning. A 2007 Rasmussen Reports poll had McCrory leading both major Democratic candidates by three points each.[citation needed]
The Raleigh News & Observer reported on January 9, 2008 that McCrory had filed the necessary paperwork with the State Board of Elections to run for Governor.[18] He announced that he was running in his hometown of Jamestown on January 15, 2008.[19]
Republican candidates Graham, Orr, and Smith held their first debate on October 20, 2007 at High Point University.[20] The two Democratic candidates held their first debate at the annual conference of the N.C. School Boards Association on Nov. 6, 2007, which hosted a Republican candidates' debate the same day.[21][22]
UNC-TV invited the three announced Republican candidates and two announced Democratic candidates to participate in the campaign's first debates (officially called "forums") to air on statewide television. Each forum is intended to focus on a single topic: on Jan. 10, the state's economy; on Feb. 7, health care; and on April 24, education.[23] Video of the forums is available on the UNC-TV website.
The Republican candidates, now joined by new challenger Pat McCrory, debated on WRAL-TV on January 17. The debate was also broadcast on stations in Charlotte and Wilmington.[24]
McCrory, Orr, Graham, and Smith met in a televised debate held by WTVI in Charlotte on April 3. Media accounts said that McCrory was the primary target of attacks by his rivals.[25] The same was true at another WRAL-TV debate, held on April 15.[26]
The final Republican debate before the primary was held in Asheville, and featured the only appearance by Elbie Powers in a debate.[27]

General election[edit]
If he had been elected, McCrory would have been the first mayor of Charlotte to win the state's highest office.[29]
Despite a "national Democratic tide" and Perdue's fundraising edge,[30] McCrory led Perdue at first; Perdue slowly gained with help from Barack Obama as the Democratic presidential candidate.[31] Perdue and McCrory remained close, with the two often polling in a statistical tie[30] in what was the closest race for governor in the nation.[32] Perdue ran slightly behind her opponent in polls released the week before the election.[30] Pundits speculated that Perdue was hurt by current Democratic Governor Mike Easley's decreasing popularity due to the aftermath of the 2008 Financial Crisis, and McCrory's efforts to tag her as part of corruption in Raleigh—consultants mentioned Perdue's "difficulty of being the candidate of continuity in a change election."[31]
Early in 2008, Libertarian nominee Munger called Perdue a "Stepford Wife" and said the Republican nominees were "circus clowns."[33] Prior to May 2008, the North Carolina Libertarian Party and Munger gathered 100,000 signatures of voters in order to qualify to appear on North Carolina's ballot. They, along with the Green Party, sued the state unsuccessfully over the ballot access rules. Munger appeared as one of two keynote speakers at the national Libertarian convention in Denver in May 2008.[33]
When Hillary Clinton dropped out of the 2008 presidential election The New York Times mentioned Perdue as a potential pick for Obama's Vice President.[34]
Munger called himself "the only liberal in the race."[35] Munger took more socially liberal positions on many issues than Democratic candidate Perdue. "One reason I haven't been allowed in all the debates is that I'm taking votes from the Democrats. Sixty percent of my supporters are voting for Obama. I'll talk about gay marriage, and Perdue isn't, or doesn't want to."[36] While Democratic candidate Perdue took a hard line on illegal immigration similar to that of Republican Pat McCrory, Munger took a position more aligned with Barack Obama.[37]
Perdue raised $15 million and ran attack ads against McCrory, criticizing him for not being tough enough on illegal immigration.[32]
In October 2008, McCrory received the endorsement of most major newspapers in the state, which typically endorse Democrats.[38] McCrory's candidacy for governor was endorsed by the Raleigh News and Observer,[39] the Charlotte Observer,[40] the Greensboro News & Record,[41] the Winston-Salem Journal,[42] and the UNC-Chapel Hill Daily Tar Heel.[43]
Perdue received the endorsement of actor and director Andy Griffith, who filmed a campaign ad on her behalf.[44]
Perdue defeated McCrory and Munger on November 4, 2008 to win the election.
The first general election debate between Perdue and McCrory was a forum at the North Carolina Bar Association meeting in Atlantic Beach on June 21.[45] The first debate between the two that was televised live was conducted by WTVD on August 19.[46][47] Another televised debate was held by WRAL-TV on September 9.[48] Next, McCrory and Perdue met for a debate on education issues at SAS Institute on September 19. The debate was sponsored by business and education groups and was covered by News 14 Carolina.[49][50][51]
Duke University professor and Libertarian candidate Michael Munger made history as the first third-party candidate to participate in a live, televised gubernatorial debate in North Carolina.[33] He made his first debate appearance with McCrory on September 24 at UNC-TV. Perdue declined to participate in that debate.[52] All three candidates debated for the first time on October 15, in the final debate before the general election.[53] The hour-long debate, sponsored by WTVI, WSOC-TV and the League of Women Voters, aired in several television markets.[54]
Analysts said that McCrory tended to perform better than Perdue in the debates, particularly in "sit-down debates that allowed more back-and-forth between the candidates." [55]

Author's Note: This is DavidLADarkStryker, aka Sekai Ishtal, aka . The squeal to this storyline The Orichalcos Effect has been uploaded. You can go into my Profile, and locate the story there. When I had first begun this story, the insparation to writing this plotline was from reading various other stories where Harry has been placed in situations outside canon. And of course, the few good YGO/HP fics out there on the web. I gotten my hype into the YGO TCG relighted when I had found my old deck based on the Charmers series in my home attic, and then I decided to see what I can do with a crossover of Harry Potter and Yu-Gi-Oh, but with those OOC traits such as Harry's parent's being alive still... the whole wrong BWL plot... and my own twists and turns. I appriciate all the reviews I have gotten while writing The Oriental Adventure. Thank you all for the constructive thoughts and comments you shared in all your reviews.

The Tale of the Tragic Triplets (Shortened)
Three born as one, bound by more than blood
One hundred years, the total sum
Every breath taken, divided amongst them
Four hundred months, each boy shall breathe
The consequence of their father's crime
"What… what is this?" I shuddered, turning towards my mother.
She looked down in sadness, as anyone would expect. My brothers and I glanced back and forth at each other, yet careful to never make eye contact. Having adjusted to my surroundings, the darkness of the attic was no longer a hindrance to my sight. Eventually, all three of us had our eyes fixed on the marble plaque mother held in her hands, while she only looked away. "When you boys were very small," she began, a noticeable trembling in her voice, "Your father made a grave mistake. He was unfaithful to me, had an affair with a much younger woman. However, when she realized that he was married, she revealed herself as a powerful immortal witch. To punish your father for his unfaithfulness and lies, she cast a curse upon you three, the ones your father loved the most. Like this plaque suggests, you all share a lifespan of 100 years. Thus, each of you may only live for a maximum of 33 years and four months."
At this point, she dropped the plaque to the side of her left thigh and began to weep. Her knees shook with anguish of their own. Ethan came to her side and placed his hand gently on her shoulder. "Don't cry, mom," he soothed, the way he usually did, "It's not your fault. This is dad's doing, a consequence of his poor decision. If our fates are sealed because of him, then so be it. I'll gladly accept this curse, mom, if it means that you'll smile, the way you used to whenever we played together."
I stood beside my outstanding brother but said nothing, not even moving an inch. Comfort mom? How could I, when I couldn't even comfort myself? I, Oliver Hartfield, the most arrogant and toughest of the Hartfield triplets, was scared. Not simply scared, but mortified. My death now had a time and a date. My death had suddenly become a very real thing in my mind. An expiry date had just been stamped onto my mortal flesh.
Ethan tended to mom for the rest of the night. Ryan, I had noticed, took this disastrous news rather emotionlessly. Shortly after the situation in the attic at 7:00 pm, he muttered something about heading to the local bar and sped off. That was the first night of my entire life where I felt lost, without hope. I sat alone in the living room, staring at the TV but not really watching it. My mind kept me busy, overloading me with uncontrollable fears and unanswerable questions. Around midnight, Ethan came downstairs. He gave the signal that mom was sound asleep. "Why'd she have to tell us now?" I asked as he walked down the steps, partially to him and partially to no one.
"No clue," Ethan sighed, correcting his collar, "But better now than when we're 30, I suppose."
I stood up from the flowery couch and looked at him, surprised. "You don't seem fazed by this at all", I whispered, almost with admiration.
He snickered. Even the best of us had a dark side. "So, the toughest of the Hartfield triplets has death anxiety?"
I stomped my right foot. "How could I not?!" I snapped, "This is my life, Ethan; and it's being cut short because my never-been-here-for-me father doesn't understand the concept of a monogamous relationship!"
Ethan put his index finger to his mouth. "Don't wake up mom, now." He walked over to the front door and grabbed his leather jacket. "I'm going home, Oliver," he said, "So do you think you could look after mom, just for tonight? She's having a hard time keeping it together."
I nodded, but gave him a cold look as I did it. How was Ethan not showing any fear? Was he doing this just to mock my own fear? Maybe he was secretly tormented inside, like I was. He just didn't want to show it, because he wanted to look like the bravest brother. I didn't really care about being the bravest anymore, seeing as how I was doomed to die in a dozen years. I realized that this news was the worst thing mom had ever done for our birthday, even worse than when we turned sixteen.
A little while after Ethan left, I decided that I had much better things to do than look after the doomsayer sleeping upstairs. But as I headed towards the door, she came downstairs. She looked much paler than earlier today, but at least she could speak now without bursting into tears. "Hold on, Ollie", she called as I put on my jacket.
I turned around. In her nightgown, she looked even scrawnier than she already appeared. My mother was taking aging very badly, and we could all feel it. "Mom, what are you still doing up? It's late, you should get some rest."
That was the closest to Perfect Ethan as she was going to get from Oliver Hartfield tonight. "You've always been my favorite son, Ollie", she randomly confessed.
I flinched. She had always favored Ethan, and now this? What sort of game was this old lady pulling? "I sense that you are the one who fears mortality the most," she whispered, "Ethan has no fear of death; he is content with his life. Ryan on the other hand, has no concept of time and spends most of his time drinking life away, anyway. But you, you're as scared as a pig in a butcher's shop. You have so much potential, but you're afraid that you won't live long enough to take in the fruits of your labour."
She hugged me, the way she did when I was twelve; which coincidentally was also the last time she hugged me before now. "If you kill your brothers, their remaining years will be passed onto you", she whispered, she head against my chest.
I flinched. This was so incredibly unexpected. I didn't want to die, but did I really have it in me? Would I really kill my brothers to extend my own life? No… (Yes)
No! (Yes!)
I can't! (I can)
I won't! (I will)
Ethan's house was in the next town over, about forty kilometers away. A revolver with a fully loaded barrel was tucked perfectly in my jacket pocket… it had been a gift from my father; the one responsible for this entire show.
My brother, hands down the most successful of the Hartfield triplets so far, lived with his girlfriend in a decent sized home with grey shingles. I inconspicuously walked up the steps and searched for the doorbell, only to quickly realize that he didn't have one. Ethan was all about class; a brass lion door knocker replaced the modern doorbell. I knocked thrice and my potential victim came to greet me three seconds later. "Oliver?" he greeted with uncertainty, "What are you doing here this late at night?"
"It's about mom," I lied, "She wants you to watch her instead of me."
"And you couldn't have called me?" he sighed, "That would've been much better than driving out here and leaving mom alone for an hour."
Was he onto me? No… not yet. As I led him out to the car, I subtly slipped the revolver from my coat pocket and into my sleeve. A courteous schemer, I opened the passenger door of my car for him. As he prepared to step in, I jammed the barrel into his stomach and pulled the trigger. A deafening sound echoed through the empty, dimly lit street. That must've woken at least a dozen people up. The only thing to do now was to slide Ethan's body into the passenger seat, make it look like he got inside by himself. As I attempted to slide my brother's corpse into the passenger seat, his gaze met mine.
I looked down at his stomach. A hole was apparent, but no blood. Looking up, his gaze met mine once again. A few unmeasured moments passed before I understood. With a dark grin on his face, he revealed the bulletproof vest underneath. Before I could fire again to finish him, the gun was wrested from my grasp and flung onto Ethan's lawn. I stumbled over to grab it, but the feeling of cold steel against the back of my head stopped me in a heartbeat. "Oliver… you wanted to know the reason I wasn't afraid of death the way you were? It's quite simple, really. Mother and I were in on this together. I'm her favorite, Oliver. Wasn't it obvious? I'm the perfect child, and you're a wilted flower. Now – "
Ryan stood on the other side of my car, a smoking gun in his hand.

CANADA FX DEBT-C$ holds near 7-week high ahead of ECB
* C$ session high of C$1.0120 vs US$, or 98.81 U.S. cents * Hits 2-yr high of C$1.2655 vs euro, or 79.02 euro cents * Bond prices edge higher By Claire Sibonney TORONTO, July 4 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar hovered near a seven-week high against the U.S. dollar and two-year peak against the euro on Wednesday as grim economic data heightened expectations the European Central Bank is about to cut interest rates. Trading activity was subdued with U.S. markets closed for the Independence Day holiday and investors cautious ahead of policy decisions from the ECB and Bank of England on Thursday, as well as North American jobs data on Friday. "Everyone in the world is looking for further stimulus and that's why we're at these elevated levels," said John Curran, senior vice president at CanadianForex, who noted that investors will also be paying attention to a Spanish bond auction on Thursday. Data on Wednesday showed Germany's services sector unexpectedly stagnated in June. And while a contraction in France's services sector eased, business expectations slumped to their lowest in three years, underlining how bleak conditions in Europe are. The reports solidified the view that the European Central Bank will cut interest rates to a record low on Thursday in a move that could drive stock markets higher and further lift commodities and commodity-linked currencies like the Canadian dollar. TWO-YEAR HIGH AGAINST EURO The Canadian dollar rallied to a two-year high of C$1.2655 versus the single European currency, or 79.02 euro cents, its strongest level since June 2010. Meanwhile, the BoE is seen launching a third round of monetary stimulus on Thursday, moving to counter a recession and the effects of a worsening debt crisis in the euro zone just two months after calling a halt to the program. At 2:31 p.m. (1831 GMT), the Canadian currency stood at C$1.0125 versus the greenback, or 98.77 U.S. cents, unchanged from where it left off at Tuesday's North American session close. "I think we're just seeing a bit of to-ing and fro-ing ahead of the event risks that come up in the next couple days in thin markets with obviously the U.S. being out," said Adam Cole, global head of FX strategy at RBC Capital Markets in London. Earlier in the session, the domestic currency hit a high of $1.0120, or 98.81 U.S. cents, its strongest level since May 17. Cole expected the Canadian dollar to stick to a narrow range between C$1.0120-C$1.0150 heading into Thursday. Canada's currency is seen weakening over the next six months before firming to the one-for-one mark with the U.S. dollar, a Reuters poll showed on Tuesday, helped by the prospect of central bank easing abroad even as the Bank of Canada looks to tighten. Canadian bond prices crept up across the curve. Canada's two-year government bond rose 2 Canadian cents to yield 1.035 percent, while the benchmark 10-year bond added 24 Canadian cents to yield 1.715 percent.

A socialite with close links to the Duke of York told of his distress over the storm surrounding his friendship with billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Goga Ashkenazi, 31, said Andrew had sent her a message on his BlackBerry over the weekend asking: "Have you seen the papers?" In the first insight so far into his state of mind, Ms Ashkenazi said he was "very, very upset" about the way he has been portrayed and "very, very worried" about whether he can continue in the ambassadorial role. Andrew has been under pressure since photographs emerged last month linking him to Epstein, a convicted child sex offender.
FULL INTERVIEW: Prince Andrew is not the villain.
In one image, Andrew is pictured with his arm around Virginia Roberts, a teenager who was being abused by the American financier at the time.
"He knows it was unwise to fraternise with this Epstein character, and it was silly to be photographed with his arm around Epstein's masseuse," said Oxford-educated Ms Ashkenazi.
"But I know Andrew as a lovely, lovely man, kind-hearted, impeccably-behaved and honourable, and I'm quite sure that at the time he had no idea that she was underage or anything more than a masseuse to Epstein." In a wide-ranging interview with the Standard, Kazakh businesswoman Ms Ashkenazi, who lives in a £28 million house in Holland Park, defended her friend as a "superb envoy".
She said: "Yes, he's made a mistake but it's not the kind of mistake that should cost him his job.
"It should be weighed up against all the good he has done. Britain is very lucky to have him. If a government is recognised by the international community, you have to put your personal views to one side and do your best for your country.
"Andrew is not the only one to have beaten a path to the door of dodgy dictators.
"When you travel as much as he does, situations are bound to arise where you find yourself shaking hands with people you later wish you hadn't met." Her defence of Prince Andrew came as business leaders delivered a lukewarm assessment of his role of UK special representative for trade and investment.
Director-General of the British Chambers of Commerce David Frost claimed the post was "absolutely critical" to the economy but repeatedly refused to give the duke his personal backing. He said: "I am commenting on the position, not the personality." After 24 hours of mixed messages from Downing Street - blamed on David Cameron's new director of communications Craig Oliver - a No 10 spokesman today said the Prime Minister had "full confidence" in Prince Andrew.

We present a three-stage quantum cryptographic protocol based on public key cryptography in which each party uses its own secret key. Unlike the BB84 protocol, where the qubits are transmitted in only one direction and classical information exchanged thereafter, the communication in the proposed protocol remains quantum in each stage. A related system of key distribution is also described.

Gulfstream Park Racing & Casino is a racetrack and county-approved racino in Hallandale Beach, Florida, in the United States. During its annual meet, which spans January through April, it is one of the most important venues for horse racing in America.
Gulfstream Park was opened on Wednesday February 1, 1939 conducting a four-day meeting. The initial meeting had a crowd of 18,000. In 1944, the track was reopened by James Donn, Sr. for a 20-day meeting in December. The Gulfstream Park Handicap was first run in 1946 and the Florida Derby began in 1952. In that year the clubhouse was built and the Grandstand seating was expanded.
Gulfstream Park introduced turf racing for the first time in 1959.
In 1961, James Donn Jr. succeeded his father as president of Gulfstream Park. In this year the Clubhouse was enlarged and the then-world's largest totalisator board was installed in the infield. A big break for Gulfstream Park came in 1972, when the track was awarded "middle dates" for a 40-day January through April meet.
In 1982, the Grandstand was renovated with new architecture and in 1984 the renovation of the clubhouse was completed. In 1986, the renovation of the track was completed with the new Gulfdome, a domed dining terrace. In 1989 Gulfstream Park hosted the Breeders Cup for the first time (which it did again in 1992 and 1999).
In 1990, the track was purchased by Bertram R. Firestone. In 1994, a half interest in the track was sold to Nigashi Nihon. The track was purchased by Magna Entertainment Corporation, in 1999 for $95 million [1].
The track began a $130 million renovation of the grandstand and clubhouse in 2004 and slot machines were approved for the track in 2004. It shares the races of the Sunshine Millions with Santa Anita Park.
The renovation, first effective for the 2006 spring meeting, was heavily criticized by racegoers and commentators, who felt that the new racino laid its emphasis entirely on the casino part, destroying the racetrack's atmosphere. [1]
Track attributes
The current dirt course is one and one-eighth miles in circumference, with a one-mile backstretch chute. The turf course is one mile in circumference; depending on the race day, the portable rail can be moved to the inside or outside of the course, thereby changing the circumference. The track can seat 16,627 people.
The track originally had a one mile dirt oval and a 7 furlong turf oval prior to the 2005 renovation.
Gulfstream Park has, in recent years, been a venue for concerts, with performances taking place on the grounds outside the grandstand. Reserved seats to the concerts are sold in advance, and others paying normal admission to the track may watch the concert in standing room. Various singers and groups who were popular in earlier times perform at Gulfstream as part of their tours. The track was also host to the Miami Pop Festival on December 29th, 1968 featuring The Grateful Dead and others.

THE Legal Aid Board (LAB) is threatening to slash pay among its senior staff, according to an internal report leaked to The Lawyer.
The First Division Association (FDA) union is accusing the LAB of planning to freeze the salaries of existing staff until inflation decreases their value by 30 per cent, and of introducing lower salaries for incoming staff.
It claims the cuts are an attempt to plug a £3m administrative budget deficit.
The LAB is strongly denying there is a deficit, or that it will make any pay cuts.
The FDA says about 800 LAB staff will be affected by the changes, contained in recommendations made following a pay and conditions review by independent consultants the Hay Group.
But the salaries of LAB chief executive Steve Orchard, who earns £99,288, all five members of the executive board and the senior personnel manager will be unaffected, while the 13 area managers will be awarded pay increases.
The FDA also claims that it is "general knowledge among LAB board members that the board is facing a £3m administration budget deficit" – the first time the LAB's administrative budget has been in the red for nine years, mainly due to administrative problems in rolling out its flagship computer system, Corporate Information System.
According to the internal LAB document, the existing pay scales will be "frozen until those proposed in this paper have caught up with them".
It says that the average value of solicitors' and account managers' salaries in the London area will be reduced from a maximum of £49,526 to £36,000. Starting salaries will drop from £27,189 to £25,500.
Robyn Dasey, assistant general secretary at the FDA which represents senior LAB staff, says: "This reduction in pay will inevitably lead to a lower quality of staff.
"The management proposals anticipate that in the future private practice solicitors seeking legal aid will deal with non-legally qualified staff at the LAB."
But an LAB spokesman says: "The LAB's administration budget will balance as it has done throughout the nine years of the board's existence.
"In preparation for the transition to the Legal Services Commission and the new remit, we have reviewed roles and responsibilities, initially within the Board's area offices, and implemented a new structure, including contracts managers.
"We have invited the Hay Group to evaluate the roles and market rates and have developed recommendations for a pay strategy on which we are currently consulting our staff."

Spectacular Showhouse
The annual Atlanta Symphony Associates 2015 Decorators' Showhouse and Gardens raises funds for the Atlanta Symphony and features big name designers creating both indoor and outdoor spaces like HGTV's Vern Yip and Chip Wade.
Outdoor Living Maestro
HGTV's Chip Wade designed several outdoor spaces at the 2015 Atlanta Symphony Showhouse and Gardens. "With architecture like this—very stately—I always tend to go more of the comfortable route," says Wade of his designs.
Black and White Chic
HGTV's Chip Wade designed this front loggia at the Symphony Showhouse using dramatic planters and furniture from Frontgate. When designing an outdoor space, Wade asks himself "is this place compelling? Does it make you want to walk down there and be in it?"
Graphic Planters
Stunning Frontgate planters are planted up with banana, rosemary and striking color combinations of deep plum and chartreuse.
Outdoor Drama
Chip Wade created wonderfully elegant outdoor spaces to match the grand Atlanta estate that played host to 2015's Atlanta Symphony Associates Showhouse and Gardens.
Ornate Lanterns
These beautifully detailed lanterns from Frontgate are a great way to illuminate paths and wonderful accents to this lovely container design.
Bring the Indoors Outside
A master of outdoor design, HGTV's Chip Wade created this chic living room vignette on a side patio at the Symphony Showhouse. Wade used a "super fresh" palette of blue and orange. Wade likes to feature artwork in his outdoor spaces and had this piece created using house paint to help with its outdoor staying power. Wade used rigid metal posts with garden topiaries affixed to create an arresting sculptural element overhead.
Pachyderm Punch
Chip Wade brings some wit and visual interest to this outdoor space with the addition of a ceramic elephant for a touch of fun. "The main design aesthetic is bringing in an assortment of accessories I like," says Wade.
Pump It Up
A forgotten nook of the garden becomes a focal point with the addition of this sumptuous Frontgate lounge in an outdoor design from Chip Wade. "When you're doing a seating vignette, it's easy to overdo," says Wade, who allowed some simple lanterns, pillows and the spectacular greenery outside the home to complete this restful space. He called the silver planter with its "high luster," a bit "unorthodox," but a distinctive accent that really defines the attitude of this space.
Pool Side
Atlanta garden designer Ed Castro Landscape created the container gardens and beds surrounding this elegant pool.
Al Fresco Dining
Outdoor dining and parties become elevated with paired tables and chairs that work wonderfully with this home's formal style.
Color Contrast
These black and white planters pair beautifully with a variety of plant textures and colors.
Topiaries Are Tops
We love the contrast of this black and white container with a playful topiary form in a look that marries high-style and wit.
Green Goodness
An array of greens from chartreuse to the variegated pyramidal American boxwood bring interest to this raised bed poolside. Daylily, pink vinca, white bacopa and Joseph's Coat round out this stunning raised bed.
Focal Point
This raised bed anchored by four boxwoods is meant to be best appreciated from above says Ed Castro, of Ed Castro Landscape.
Gold Standard
Indian Hawthorne is trained into a standard in this garden bed.
Paradise Found
"In all of our gardens, everything we do is about inviting people to the space," says landscape designer Ed Castro who placed this outdoor living vignette from Frontgate featuring the Eden coffee table at the opposite end of the pool to lure visitors into the space.
Old Hollywood
A black and white color scheme gives this poolscape an old Hollywood feel that Ed Castro Landscape complemented in plant shades favoring purple and chartreuse.
Layers of Interest
The eye is drawn to the various layered elements in this garden bed and a striking espaliered loropetalum designed by Ed Castro Landscape.
Graphic Punch
Graphic Madison containers from Frontgate work beautifully planted up with a trellis of clematis for even more vertical interest.
Garden Symmetry
An appealing balance of shapes and textures gives this planted raised bed by Ed Castro Landscape major impact when seen from above.
Animal Print
A palette of green and zebra print adds tropical flair to this terrace.
Pool Panorama
Ed Castro placed planters at various intervals in this pool design for balance, but also to invite people visually and psychologically into the space.
A Well-Deserved Rest
Atlanta landscape designer Ed Castro enjoys some much-deserved down-time during a tour of his outdoor spaces for HGTVGardens.
Grand Estate
The 2015 Atlanta Symphony Associates' Decorators' Showhouse and Gardens raises funds for the Atlanta Symphony while highlighting the talents of a variety of regional designers.
Clematis growing on a trellis lends vertical interest to this Frontgate container.
Twisted Topiary
This whimsical topiary form in a formal white container lends considerable interest to the poolscape.
Wait for It
Ed Castro plans his landscape designs to deliver results over time and suggests home owners do the same. A hibiscus will eventually bloom and provide luscious ornamentation for this container. Think about adding plants and flowers which will bloom at different times in your garden.
Container Pair
Pairs work well together, especially when allowing for some variation in the size and plantings in these containers filled with pyramidal American boxwood, hibiscus, lantana, petunia, bacopa, Joseph's Coat and creeping thyme.

This small mini lantern seems to put out almost as much light as a two mantle gas Coleman lantern. When I put them on opposite ends of a table at night and walked away, they sure seemed similar. It is plenty to read by or light up a tent or a room.
The globe slides into the casing for transport and storage. The switch, however, is exposed on the top and it is quit possible to have it accidently turn on inside your pack as happened to me.
It is a very good light, but $19.00 + price tag is too much considering all the options and competition for flashlights and lanterns. Walmart is overpricing this unit at this time. You can find it elsewhere for the time being until Walmart gets the pricing figured out. I got mine for about ten dollars.
All in all, for performance, it is a good little lantern
You should be able to tell by looking at it that it is small and not made to light a whole campsite. This mini-lantern is however excellent for inside a tent or bathroom. It is easy to operate and great for single person use. I also use it to light areas of the ground when walking trails, to the car, to the bathroom, etc.
In a matter of a year the black plastic casing became so sticky the light would not pop up. It also put the plastic sticky residue all over my hands. This mini Lantern was never used outside. It was placed on my in-closed back porch. I would not recommend this product due to the messy casing and inability to open the light when needed. Coleman would not replace this item because I did not keep the receipt. What a waste of $30.00.
My friend also purchased a different Coleman flashlight and had the same problem with the plastic. She had it packed in her garage emergency kit. Not much good in an emergency if it won't open.
I have these in every room of the house. Perfect for when you loose power, fit great in car and purse.
I searched for a small but powerful lantern for backpacking & car camping and this is it. Very small and light weight, but also very powerful lighting. Not nearly as bright as a Coleman white gas lantern, and will not light up a whole campsite. But, for preparing a meal in the dark or reading in the tent it is ideal. I think a bit on the expensive side, but the best choice for me.
Although I was surprised by the size of the lantern, expecting more lantern for the money, it does seem to be what we're looking for. My bf is a wildland firefighter, and needed a small, bright lantern for his tenting gear in his fire kit. I bought another more inexpensive lantern at the same time, to give him a choice. This one compacts very small, looks like it will do the job very well, so we'll see how it works on his next fire assignment.
