It's no secret that the Kardashian-Jenner sisters are basically the equivalent of American royalty, but have you ever wondered exactly which princess they would be if they lived in Disney's world of happily-ever-afters?
Kendall Jenner recently took to her App to reveal which House of Mouse princess is the most like each of her sisters, writing in a post:
"My sisters and I love Disney movies. We used to watch them all the time when Kylie and I were little. I never really thought about which princess I'm most like, until a friend recently told me that she's such a Mulan, lol. It got me thinking about which characters my sisters would be from the movies (and my own personal princess, of course)."
Kendall then went on to reveal each of her sisters characteristics and attributes alongside the princesses she thinks would suit them best. After admitting that she most related herself to The Princess and The Frog's Tiana, she also drew similarities between:
- Kourtney and Jasmine from Aladdin
- Kylie and Rapunzel from Tangled
- Khloé and Belle from Beauty and the Beast
- Kim as Ariel from The Little Mermaid
However, I've got to admit – now that Kendall has spoken – I think we can do better. Below is Movie Pilot's very own Disney princess/Kardashian fan casting, alongside a detailed explanation as to why:
1. Kim Kardashian As Jasmine
"[She's] headstrong, confident, smart, brave, romantic, stubborn and caring."
Considering the overwhelming amount of visual evidence that's out there, there's no arguing that Kim Kardashian is Jasmine from Aladdin. I mean, c'mon, the two ladies bear such a close resemblance to one another that Kimmy even dressed up as her once for Halloween.
And although Kendall likened Kim most to Ariel, her description also fits in superbly with the spirited Princess of Agrabah, way before Kanye swept in on his magic carpet and showed her a whole new world of motherhood.

2. Kourtney Kardashian As Meg
"Adventurous, intuitive, rebellious, intelligent, stubborn, caring [and] brave."
If Kourtney Kardashian could be any Disney leading lady, it would definitely be the dynamic, hip-swaying Megara from Hercules. Oozing sass and confidence from every pore of her body, the eldest Kardashian sister is super fierce, isn't afraid to speak her mind and has absolutely no time to listen to anyone's bullshit:
3. Khloé Kardashian As Rapunzel
"Bold, beautiful, imaginative, brave, protective, kind, accepting, stubborn, curious, outspoken [and] independent."
Although Kendall puts down Khloé for Belle from Beauty and the Beast (probably because she's written a book and all that), she's totally Rapunzel.
Alongside all of the characteristics above and the fact that she's the one with the brightest blonde locks right now, if anyone was to manage to escape from that high tower, KoKo would be the one to draw on her resources to do it. After all, she's a determined little lady — evidenced by all the hard work she put into getting that insanely fit bod over the past year.
4. Kendall Jenner As Cinderella
"Smart, determined, motivated, dutiful, hardworking, funny, humble [and] respectful."
Ignoring the fact that the princess sports a blonde lid in all of the adaptations, looking at her qualities she is basically the animated form of Kendall Jenner. Like Cinderella, the Kardashian Klan's resident tomboy has worked her way up from humble beginnings to the top of the high fashion food chain, where she now reigns supreme.
Ultimately, Kendall's miraculous bippity-boppity-boo transformation into one of the hottest supermodels of our generation was basically as breathtaking as when the Fairy Godmother worked her magic on Cinderella's rags. Oh and let's not forget her exquisite entrance to that ball – it has Kendall's jaw-dropping Victoria's Secret moment written all over it:
5. Kylie Jenner As Ariel
"Feisty, energetic, defiant, courageous, confident [and] kind."
As one of the youngest Disney princesses, Ariel is the epitome of Kylie. Like the princess, she always sports a bold hair color and is obsessed with collecting cute things (mainly dogs), mirroring the Disney princess's love of precious thingamabobs.
Although Kendall might think that her sister most resembles Rapunzel from Tangled, we think she's far more suited to The Little Mermaid. To top it all off, Kylie spends 70 percent of her time at the beach in the summer so she legit belongs 'Under the Sea:'
Bonus: Kris Jenner As Maleficent
Okay, though she's not technically a Disney princess, we can definitely draw parallels between momager Kris Jenner and Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty (although admittedly she's more relatable to the version brought to life by Angelina Jolie in the 2014 blockbuster.) Like the fairy, the Kardashian matriarch is often misinterpreted for a money-grabbing businesswoman when all she wants to do is look out for her kids and gently help them along.
A fierce protector of her realm, the fairy is a complicated character that exercises control over everyone around her. She's even got her trusty minion (Corey Gamble) always by her side, and the exquisitely high cheekbones to match.
Do you agree with these Kardashian-Jenner Disney princesses?

Cargo ships regularly lose these containers overboard — they write them off and collect insurance. But now marine biologists have found one off the coast of California and have decided to study how it may affect sea life. Already, they've discovered that the container has become a new type of habitat on the muddy ocean floor, attracting its own suite of creatures.

Both men and women are crazy about owning a set of six pack abs. But there are so many myths circulating around. Let us bust them first.
Also Read: Workouts To Try Before You are 45
To begin with, your body deposits all excess fat first in the area of your belly and then distributes it to other areas depending upon your genetics. And when you lose fat, your body will lose fat in all other areas first and then finally deals with the belly fat.
This is the first reason why losing belly fat seems to be the hardest thing to do. Until you lose belly fat, your abs don't show up.
Also Read: How Your Body Gets Energy
That is why the right diet, the right exercises and the right attitude towards six pack is important. Now, let us discuss about the myths about six pack abs.
Myth #1
Many people think that they can eat anything if they are into intense workouts. This could be far from truth as you need the right diet if your abs need to show up.
Myth #2
Eating certain foods will melt belly fat- this is a myth. Without your handwork, your belly fat isn't going to leave you though many marketers claim that certain miracle foods will blast your belly fat.
Myth #3
You can get six pack abs in 7 days- this is another myth. Sculpting your abs is one of the toughest challenge and it could take months or even years to achieve them.
Myth #4
Doing crunches every day is enough to get a six pack. This is a myth as you need to target on burning the fat and excess calories apart from doing crunches. Crunches alone won't take you anywhere though they are good to start with.
Myth #5
Women can achieve the feat faster. This is a myth as fitness experts say that men can achieve their abs faster. As female bodies naturally store fat a bit more than males, they might need to lose all that first for the abs to show up.
Myth #6
Cardio is the best solution for abs- this is another myth as you need resistance training also to achieve the feat.

Indo-Asian News Service
Mumbai, (IANS) So entertaining and appealing is Nana Patekar's character in "Bluffmaster" and "Taxi No. 9211" that he says even children have started liking him.
The credit surely goes to Rohan Sippy for presenting him in this new avatar because before "Bluffmaster" he was just known as the angry man of the film industry.
The buzz is that Nana and Milan Lutharia, director of "Taxi No. 9211", are planning to visit theatres across the country from next week onwards to see the reaction of the audience thronging the theatres.
Rohan's marketing strategy
After the success of his second directorial venture "Bluffmaster" Rohan Sippy has built quite a reputation for himself not just as a director who makes an unconventional film but also as a producer who has mastered the art of packaging and marketing the film.
Insiders reveal his marketing gimmicks start even before the film is complete.
For instance, the video rights of the hit track "Right here right now" were unleashed long before the film hit the screen. It worked its magic and lured youth, who came in hordes to the theatres.
Not only that, the music of "Bluffmaster", which was the film's USP, was Rohan's personal choice and he stood by it till the end notwithstanding the criticism from those who were convinced that the music wouldn't work.
No wonder Rohan is looking as pleased as punch and says: "If our films have got great feedback from the audience then it's only because the film has spoken the contemporary idiom."
The young director is enjoying the well-deserved long holiday.
Priya Dutt's confession
Recently Priya and Sanjay Dutt were invited at a Simi Garewal show and an insider tells us Priya, the Congress MP, confessed that as a schoolgirl she used to be very scared of exams. The show will be aired this Sunday.
Priya said she always used to have high temperature before the exams. The news of her illness was sufficient to tell her father Sunil Dutt that her exams are nearing.

Walz Statement on Executive Order
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Representative Tim Walz (MN-01) released the following statement on President Trump's immigration executive order:
"The safety and security of the American people is our highest national imperative, but President Trump's executive order on Friday not only puts our men and women in uniform at greater risk overseas, it fundamentally contradicts our nation's values.
By unilaterally shutting America's door on those fleeing war and persecution in hope of a better life in the United States, we break the promise of our fundamental principle: that our nation is enriched by those who come from different lands, who bring their talents, their hopes and their hunger for freedom. This type of blanket discrimination is shameful and morally reprehensible. It's not who we are as Americans, and it's not who we are as Minnesotans. In the last day, I have been heartened by so many Americans who have raised their voices to speak out. I join them and will continue our work to live our values and protect our nation."

More than 20 years ago I had a goal of becoming a brewer and perhaps one day even owning my own brewery. I had a vision that passion, art, community connection and business would all come together in one ultimate pint. In 2010 that dream began to take shape, and in 2012 became a reality when we founded American River Brewing Company.
Of course, I love beer so picking my favorite ARBC brew is tough. I've been a beer-drinker since I was just a tyke (Danish roots, you know), so it's hard to pick just one. I enjoy them all, depending on the day.
My favorite food to enjoy with one of our beers is a pan-fried New York steak, medium-rare, with steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes. That's good old comfort food, especially when paired with Coloma Brown or Fire Break Red Ale.
My wife Claire and I have a dog and two cats that make up our family. Most nights you'll find us curled up in from of the television watching NCIS or a good movie. We really enjoy classic movies like "Casablanca," "True Grit" (the original one with The Duke), or "Christmas Story."
I used to be an avid SCUBA diver, but these days finding time to get away is rare and vacations are somewhat few and far between. However, I do still try to fit in a quick round of golf every now and then when my schedule allows.
I've been blessed to have been a part of this industry since the early 90's and I've worked for some of the best brewers and breweries in the nation. For me, the learning never stops when it comes to brewing and I uncover something new every day.
I first met David when we worked together several years ago and he told me this idea he had for starting his own brewery. He and I got along really well and we enjoyed similar beer styles, so when he asked me to join him I jumped at the opportunity. I've been brewing about 20 years now and have mastered everything from ale to sake.
Like many people, I was a beer drinker long before I enjoyed the taste. Now I consider myself something of a connoisseur. Of all the beers we make, I enjoy Firebreak Red the best. I like the maltiness and roasted barley flavors it has. Over the years I've discovered that I'm more of a maltster than a hophead. I enjoy a Firebreak Red with pizza on Sunday night, usually a Chicago-style with pepperoni on it, at the very least.
My wife and I have 2 dogs that we walk daily and spoil rotten. They like to sing and talk to us in their own doggy language. Besides dogs and beer, my other passion is music. I'm primarily a bassist and I have a home studio with lots of fun toys. One of these days, don't be surprised see me in a jam session at the brewery.
In all honesty, I've been a fan of ARBC since they first opened their doors. From my first sip it was clear that they made a superior product and I wanted to be a part of the process. By a stroke of unbelievable timing, here I am!
I like just about all of the beers we make, as you might expect, but if I had to choose just one it would be the Fire Break Red. It's a very well-balanced ale and I like that a portion of its proceeds go toward the Firefighters Burn Institute which is a very worthy cause, in my book. That's what I call a win-win.
I've been a beer lover since my freshman year of college. I discovered craft beer while all my friends were drinking the cheap stuff. I'm of the opinion that it's better to enjoy one good beer than a six-pack of swill. Life is just too short to drink bad beer.
My favorite foods are probably Mexican and pizza, although I'll eat just about anything. Especially barbecue. There's nothing on earth like an ice-cold beer and great BBQ on a hot summer night.
I was born and raised in Lake Tahoe, so anything outdoors is fun for me. You name it, I did it. Skiing, snowboarding, camping, fishing, hiking and mountain biking. Growing up I did it all and still love it to this day.
Before joining ARBC I didn't have any professional brewing experience but I've been an avid home brewer for years so I've gotten to know the science in great detail. I'm also on a mission to visit every craft brewery in California. I've been to many and have many more to come. It's great to finally be a part of the craft brewery revolution that's going on in this state and I'm soaking up every minute of it.

So - yesterday we got married! Theo proposed to me on the 9th of November and on the 30th of November, we fixed a date: 21.12 (or for you Americans: 12.21!)
A few hours later we found ourselves wondering what the h$&@ we had done! Giving ourselves only 3 weeks to plan it all!
So here we go:
1. Get your friends to lend a hand! All it takes is one capable best man or woman to hear your wishes and then communicate with all the guests. Turns out, people love to help with such a happy occasion! Thanks Rob Uijterlinde and Canan Mizrak, our witnesses!
2. Pick your rings ASAP. Especially if you want them lovingly handmade, for example by our amazingly sweet and capable Sandra Savelli - who, despite her name, is not Italian, but Estonian! It takes time to decide on a design, fit them and everything. A beautiful ring doesn't just make itself, you know!
3. Be decisive about your dress. There's no time to order hand made silk lace from Florence, but there's no need to wear your old beige dress either! I put up a "help me" post on the Amsterdam Mamas Facebook page and within the hour had over 40 helpful tips and advice how to get a dress. The next day, I dropped into the Bijenkorf department store (yes, 'Morning Shopping,' ladies, that's when there is no one else and the friendly staff are all yours!), and within 1/2 an hour had picked my dress! (Karen Millen). Guess what? It was even on sale!
4. Guests need some advance warning. I guess it helped that we had at least announced our engagement 3 weeks earlier - so that my family- who live in Israel- could work up the courage to join us on the shortest (but not coldest!) day of the year! Prepare for surprises when you plan a whirlwind affair. People will say "I can't make it, sorry!" And then show up last minute! So don't be upset when it takes them a few days to figure out the logistics and make it after all.
5. Cater or die. The night before the wedding - we invited the guests from abroad to a small dinner at our house. Without the delicious lasagne, salad and garlic bread that my friend and caterer had made, we would have had far too much to do! Thanks Colleen Camastro!
6. Do NOT stress the minor details! Of course I did. But it wasn't helpful! I found a book on my shelf called "letting go" or something similar. Another friend told me, "take it lightly." She was so damn right! No one noticed the 2 mm black spot on the weave of my jacket. My shoes were a tiny bit tight but my feet felt fine the whole day! No, we didn't make a seating arrangement- and that was fine!
7. Relax when possible! I was not relaxed at all, trying to keep my full time job while planning my wedding, and oh yes, we had the small matter of our mortgage to arrange as well... Then I started taking "Rustgevend" (rest giving) supplements (A. Vogel - for those readers in the Netherlands). Bach's Rescue Remedy helped too. Also Drop Dead Diva, long baths, whatsapp support from my sister and best friends and some meditation!
8. Ask your fiancée for support. It's really not just your party, Miss Bridezilla! By me asking Theo for help we were both equal partners in "getting things done." Once we realized we had succeeded, we felt we had strengthened our bond and learned more about project management. Yay Daselaar-Weinberg team!
9. If you have kids (like I do), then try to involve them! They also want to be a part of the celebration and can be super helpful as well! Naomi and Yoav also gave speeches that left no one's eyes dry!
10. With such a short time to arrange things, you might not have time to pull out all the bells and whistles. Instead, Why not surprise your guests? We took ours on a boat trip, but didn't let them know until they had boarded that we'd be showing them the yearly "Amsterdam Light Festival" from the water! It was both a surprise for them and fun for us!
If you're as crazy and spontaneous as we were, we wish you the best of luck! Oh, and don't forget to enjoy the slightly bumpy process as well as the wedding itself! After all, marriage is not just about falling in love and the honeymoon, but all the stuff in between. Some of it is bound to be a bit messy. But that too can be an adventure, if you let it!

Spring football games are here, with the majority of the Ohio Valley teams holding their games this weekend. Since scores really don't matter for these glorified scrimmages, the film recorded will influence the depth charts for the summer. We decided to let you in on what we will be watching.
Austin Peay April 20 11 a.m.
1) Position to Watch: Quarterback
Quarterback production was scarce last season for the Governors and coming into the spring showcase there are only two left on the team, Jacob Sexton and walk-on Timarious Mitchell. Sexton did sustain a thigh injury at a scrimmage last Saturday, which would leave the reps for the walk on. This has the potential of the opening day QB not being on campus yet.
2) Kicking
Very rarely do we recommend watching the special teams, but for the Govs the kicking last season was some of the worse in the FCS. Converting 33% of field goals makes the few chances the kickers get during the game, very very important.
Tennessee Tech April 20 1 p.m.
1) Player to Watch: Cody Matthews
The Golden Eagles are looking for a new playmaker on the outside after DaRick Rogers left for the NFL. Matthews was second the team in receptions last season and has been the go to receiver for QB Darian Stone during spring practices.
2) Secondary
The saying "Defense wins championships" was something forgotten by Tennessee Tech last season posting the 7th worst in total defense and second to last in pass defense efficiency. There was plenty of youth for the Golden Eagles and with that gowing pains are expected.
Southeast Missouri April 27 12 p.m.
1) Player to watch: Kyle Snyder
It was supposed to be Snyder's Redhawks last season when the junior transferred into the program but that was delayed as he was injured just nine days into camp. The QB is will being looking to upgrade the last place throwing team, which would compliment the option oriented Redhawks very well.
2) Running Backs
When you have an option team like the Redhawks, the playing time is pretty much who is fresh at the moment the play is signaled in. SEMO knows what they are and have multiple backs to use. But which player will be the first down back, that could be decided with a breakout performance Saturday.
Murray State April 20 12 p.m.
1) Player to Watch: Sam Small
Small was coming off a tremendous freshmen season in which the linebacker led the Racers with 115 tackles, things were looking up. Then Small tore his ACL last season and is looking to bounce back. In the new defensive scheme, linebackers will be asked to cover and pressure making the return of Small very key.
2) Quarterback battle
The graduation of Casey Brockman has left a huge role to fill for the "Hatch Attack" especially with how expected starter KD Humphries has played in two spring scrimmages (multiple interceptions in each). The door has been left off for Parks Frazier and South Alabama transfer C.J. Bennett to take over the reigns.
Tennessee State April 20 3 p.m.
1) Player to Watch: Stephen Godbolt III
If you haven't heard of the cornerback by now, start paying attention. Godbolt is already drawing comparisions to a former TSU Tiger that now plays in the NFL and it is for good reason. You have to wonder how much better he gets entering his junior season.
2) Defense
The whole starting defense returns for the Tigers and for a team that seemed to be a lock for a FCS playoff berth, it is scary. TSU had the best defense last season in the OVC in yards allowed, and 2nd best in points allowed.
Jacksonville State
Jacksonville State's is already completed. Here's what we saw.
UT Martin April 20 10 a.m.
1) Player to Watch:TBD
This might sound mean but its true and the Skyhawks know it (thus why I'll be there live). They are looking to replace every key position on the offense thanks to graduation. Most coaching staffs are fine to replace one or two, but no QB, no RB and no WRs (Jeremy Butler is returning) are hard to overcome and this is why spring practices are so important.
2) Pass Defense
We are expecting a lot of passing during the spring game, as Coach Simpson searches for his new QB and WRs and that will allow the defense to get the reps it needs. The Skyhawks were the second to worst passing defense in the conference.
Eastern Kentucky April 20 4 p.m.
1) Player to Watch: Jared McClain
McClain was the other half of the Colonel quarterback duo that was tremendous last season. But the job is now all McClain's who was primarily the running QB is now going to use his arm. The junior has the potential to do so for coach Dean Hood and will be throwing to new targets as well.
2) Running back battle
One thing Eastern Kentucky football is know for is its ground game, and the graduation of Matt Denham leaves the Colonels missing 61% of their ground production. The names being floated out of Richmond are sophomores J.J. Jude and Jared Sanders to become the new Colonel workhorse.
Eastern Illinois April 27 p.m.
1) Player to Watch: Jimmy Garoppolo
Garoppolo was outshined by a fellow Panther last season but it was the young junior that shocked the OVC landscape. He lead the OVC in passing last season and is in line to do even more in year two under Head Coach Dino Babers.
2) Defensive Line
The Panthers are looking to replace a first team All-OVC defensive lineman but more importantly are looking to replace the entire starting line, a total of 17.5 sacks! This is the "weakest" part for EIU but they return all their linebackers.


text: So the bottom half of the touchscreen on my Eris crapped in random places which means I could use certain parts of touchscreen, others by pressing very hard and others not at all. In addition the trackball on this was messed up which caused the cursor on the screen to keep going to left randomly. So then I upgraded to Droid X, and put the Eris away in a black dungeon not to come on again. Recently, I moved in with a couple of friends into an apartment near university. I set up my desktop computer in my room, but the problem is that the Comcast cable modem with Wifi router is in the lobby where there is the only Co-axial output jack. So I couldn't put the PC in the lobby. So I think of getting a PCI Wifi adapter for my PC, but alas the best buy near me doesn't have them in store and this is Friday. That means one won't reach me before mid next week. So how to get internet on my PC ? ahaaaa.... ERIS ! Eris + PDANet = Wifi Adapter => WIN! After taking care of the issues such as not being able to type in the password to the Wifi network, which took some cleverness on my part (I made a file on SD card with the name of the wifi password, then copy the name from rename of Astro and paste into the password field to connect to Wifi) I had working internet on my PC. Although the speed was limited to around 2 Mbps while a laptop in the same room gets 16 Mbps on speedtest.net, I was able to game online in Bad Company 2 pretty smoothly with no noticeable lag or high pings. Viva La Android! and Eris or what's left of it

I stopped by here today for lunch looking for something new. I was reluctant at first because it looks like a typical non-authentic Chinese restaurant. But hey, this is Manhattan, not the Golden Mall in Flushing, so I decided I would settle for the usual Chinese fare.
The menu is huge, and there are 107 lunch specials ranging in prce from $6.50 to $6.95. These come with a choice of soup and a choice of rice.
I ordered the General Tso's Grouper. Now don't go turning up your noses at the thought of eating anything General Tso's style. I already mentioned this isn't the Golden Mall. But if you can't get the real deal during yoru Midtown lunch break, I have to tell you the General Tso's Grouper was incredibly delicious. It came on a small platter with about eight pieces of silver-dollar sized filets, cooked perfectly and crispy on the outside, soft white tender fish on the inside in a spicy orangey General Tso's sauce. It might not have been grouper. It could have been cod. Whatever it was is was great.
The hot and sour soup was very spicy. The egg fried rice had nice big pieces of scrambled egg.
For a grand total of $6.95 plus tax, this was a really great meal.

In response to fallout over the latest Spencerfest, I can't say I'm surprised regarding the "content" of the National Policy Institute conference; this is Dickie Spencer after all. I guess he got bored of arrogantly parachuting in to lecture the Hungarians on how to be Hungarian and is back to his usual routine of buzzword-laden, content-devoid TED Talk nationalism and promoting repellent weirdos.
Spencer, as per his ingrained faileoconservative sentimentality, is a weak, pandering, fence-sitting coward who tries to play all sides of key issues while maintaining plausible deniability when held to any stance or standard, kinda like Grindr Greggie and the Alt-Gay Mafia in that regard, but wider in the scope of his offenses and more stupid. Spencer brings absolutely nothing to the table beyond repackaging the same old conservative/mainstreaming approach that's been argued, tried, and refuted a million times already, pretending he's doing something "new" and "different", while busing in homosexual freaks and jew-appeasing cowards. Dickie blacklisting Matthew Heimbach for rightfully opposing homosexuality and allegedly supporting violence – like Dopey McGodboy is any threat to anything or anyone as he's laying 6 million wreaths of white Christian guilt on the graves of dead niggers – was also particularly funny.
When not cucking for Trump, vouching for disgusting fags and attempting to silence all criticism on that matter, Dickie will go out of his way to exculpate jews from blame and argue for their inclusion, while throwing the occasional, vaguest insinuation in the other direction to retain the loyalty and cashflows of some of his other supporters. Weak, pretentious, and stupid. It seems that Dickie "please don't quote paranoia" lil Dick Spencer was finally able to the muster the minimal amount of courage required at this latest conference to state that jews "aren't us", barely addressing the scope of the jewish problem and why it matters. Dickie, with all his prissy concern over the media calling him names, doesn't need the media to look bad. He makes himself look worse than they ever could with his cowardly backtracking right in front of them like the stupid, simpering idiot he is. Whatever one may think of them, the cartoon klansmen that NPI's branded as no matter what they do at least have the balls to stand by their convictions. Look, mom! I'm a thought criminal!
Spencer's previous inclusion of alibi jews to avoid being called mean names by their media and continued hesitance when forced to discuss the subject bring his most recent declaration into question. With no public disavowal of his past stances and actions, and with the inclusion of Jew appeasers like Guillaume Faye, his audience is sent an unclear, confusing message to internalize regarding the role of Jews. This sets them up to be co-opted by Jewry and ultimately is the result of Dickie's cowardice and continued prissiness when it comes to "difficult" subject matter. At the end of the day, Dickie's more concerned about maintaining his appearance and not being even vaguely affiliated with anything remotely "fascist" than he is with the truth and leading people in the direction they need to go. For that reason alone, he's a despicable coward and a weakling. One is left wondering where his continual, subservient fawning over jew, Paul Gottfreid, and pathetic adoration of various other jews like (((Rothbard))) and Mises fits in here, and what conclusions his audience draws from that.
It's hilarious how alt-right postures as some radical alternative while pussing out on things like naming the Jew, attacking the holohoax, making a clean and explicit break from conservatism, and adopting anything even vaguely resembling a vanguard strategy. They just sit around and play girly little parlor word games – buzzword-laden and pretentious enough to retain their audience's attention and $$$ but vague enough to avoid committing to anything tangible – so they can all congratulate each other on being oh-so-clever and "above" those vulgar philistines who consistently out-compete and out-achieve them in pretty much everything. They want the image without actually owning it. Repackaged faileocons. It's a big fashion statement for them as they all play another round of pin the evasive buzzword to the champagne glass with Sam Dickson whining about equal rights for Whites.
It's all vague, evasive bullshit defining itself on what it's not – yeah we're not fascists, but we're not conservative either – and by its own big tent design, is incapable of developing any internal consensus and corresponding goals. Self-indulgent, directionless, overanalytical bullshit put out by smart people with no balls with a serving of hobby horse bullshit needlessly thrown in. It's a big tent structure paradoxically pitched to a very narrow niche audience – a handful of nerds whining over inconsequential bullshit and arbitrarily redefining themselves to avoid being called mean names by their enemies. As a result, they can't agree on any concrete set of standards, making them unable to mobilize any consistent platform, and unable to defend themselves from hostiles and homosexual Fifth Columnists intent on co-opting them. Hell, they can't even agree on who their enemies are. A prime example of this in action is the vapid jewish skank Rachel Haywire, who's allowed to fester (and generate $$$) as a result of the alt/new right's explicit rejection of fascist politics and insistence on liberal principles like free speech – except when they're being attacked over Haywire. Funnier yet is how the big tent idea is used to justify the inclusion of jews, jew-appeasers, faggots, and all range of unrelated tangential subcultures while radical, fascist elements are denounced as icky extremists and "disinvited." All while they co-opt the imagery behind fascism for the purpose of vibing out to an aesthetic and maintaining a false image of radicalism while shitting all over the ideology and related goals behind it.
In the end, it ends up functioning as the same failed, capitulating conservatism it nominally opposes, minus the real world presence and institutional power. Forever on the defense; forever trying to justify itself in accord to liberal/jewish precedents; forever prefacing itself with faggy disclaimers; forever pandering to people's existing viewpoints and getting co-opted; forever ceding ground; forever splitting hairs over irrelevant minutiae and boring everyone to fucking tears with needlessly esoteric wordplay in an attempt to make itself look profound and relevant when it has no reason to be.
The usage of the term "identitarian" as a self-descriptor is another perfect example of this chickenshit mentality in action. The term is vague and flexible enough to mean anything, to offer plausible deniability whenever called a mean name. I D E N T I D Y. Yeah well wtf's that? Who's identity? Who's excluded? What clear reference points and course of action is the term establishing beside directionless, self-serving obfuscation. The original Generation Identity primer by Markus Willinger was already cringeworthy enough, going out of its way to explicitly condemn and downplay the nationalist focus on race and ethnicity in favor of I D E N T I D Y, going out of its way to condemn Germany's National Socialists and Fascism as whole as "extremism." These happen to be the only forces who were historically capable of resisting the Jewish-led onslaught of liberalism whom the alt-right routinely caterwauls about while marinating in a level of angst reminiscent of some fat emo bitch's livejournal. It's only fitting these cowards would want to emulate Generation Identity. The concept of the "Overton window" is a frequent defense used by the alt right to justify their approach.
However as correctly pointed out by Alex Linder "The alt-right shit has absolutely nothing to do with our cause, it merely sucks potential supporters away from it. Overton window is wrong. It's a zero-sum game."
Acting in terms of the Overton window is just ceding immense ground while pretending you're moving things in the direction you want. At the end of the day, it's a theoretical model that nerds use to sound superficially smart while rationalizing their inability to hold a concrete, clear, consistent stance of anything. It's a model, not an immutable law of nature. The idea that we need to gradually convince people to the point of radicalization overplays the degree to which people actually think, and ignores the fact that there's no such thing as "gradual radicalization". They side with whatever puts food on the table and with what they think the neighbors are doing. What people "think" they want at this immediate current point in time doesn't really matter. People don't think, they respond to authority, which requires acting as our own unit of authority. Stemming from that, to a large degree all politics is local. Which requires building up local, PHYSICAL on the ground units to serve a variety of community interests as well as actively challenging for power. See Golden Dawn. How did they do it? Providing community services tailored to their specific localities. Providing recreational meetups. Providing security escorts in dangerous neighborhoods. Providing food drives, medical supplies and other charity services. Staging public demos, leafeletting, and all the usual IRL promo activities. Maintaining an unwavering, unphased image of confidence and consistency while beating the living shit out of immigrant invaders and anything standing in their way. Basically acting as a state within a state and doing the exact opposite of everything the alt right claims is necessary. All while fielding candidates, who started out getting fractions of %'s of votes. But, that signaled a serious intent to actually challenge for power. They're now the third biggest party, and because their support's coming largely from the police and military going up to the highest levels, they can't be shut down because they can leverage a credible threat of violence against the state if it breaks its own rules. They're basically running the whole show now to where both the left and the right are trying to co-opt their support, and failing. What they didn't do – publicly support figures that were hostile to their interests or sell out out of some mistaken notion of expediency. They lumped EVERYTHING that wasn't them in with the System, populist conservatives included, and attacked it as a whole, capitalizing off the growing disenfranchisement of their voter base. A large segment of the population's already disillusioned, voter non-participation's on its way up. There's an opening, if it's acted on and taken advantage of by an unapologetically fascist vanguard. Let's look at some numbers – when William Johnson half-assedly ran for congress in MI on nothing more than lazy robocolls, he got 0.9% of the vote in his district. Think that's like 3,000 or so people already willing to ditch the two party system under an openly racial line. That's a small segment of the larger population in that frame of mind. Now if ~10% of those local 3,000 were actively coordinated into an ideologically and politically relevant unit , you know where that could snowball? Going from that, what would those numbers look like decade or two down the line as conditions get worse?
The A3P wasn't that unit, as it never sought to fully differentiate itself from failed conservatism, and increasingly tried to copy it. No one wants a shitty knockoff version of an already failing product. Its membership numbers tanked accordingly. The same applies to the alt right as it's just another incoherent rehash of conservatism for repulsive degenerates who want to play Nietzschean crossword.
The success of Greece's Golden Dawn, Hungary's Jobbik, the prior organizational success of the US's National Alliance is a direct refutation to everything these people claim, and puts them to shame. They are pandering cowards trying to rationalize their cowardice, they want the radical image without actually owning it in any capacity. All these design flaws are why all this shit will never make it past the blogosphere and occasional self-important dinner parties into any concrete organization/movement. Oh, but here's an inspirational game of thrones reference. Dude, I'm like fuckn Voltaire or somethin.
As for Guillaume Faye's claims on holocaust revisionism being ineffective and unnecessary, that's demonstrably false, as several prominent figures came into racial politics via learning the truth about the holohoax and the jewish problem – which remain our primary institutional obstacles. The holohoax, in particular, is the enemy's primary propaganda point to keep the public away from any Ethno Nationalist stance; we have the tools to counter and disprove it, exposing the enemy for what they are and further harming public sympathy for their antics, which is already tanking. The holohoax happens to be both the enemy's strongest point of psychologically disarming whites, and their weakest point of defense. Disproving it and pointing out how the jewish control of the media allows such a lie to be institutionalized quickly opens the door for people to understand the rest of the jewish problem. When they see the extent they've been LIED to and EXTORTED, any sympathy towards the jews goes right out the window, being replaced by righteous contempt and distrust, opening the door for public examination of other areas of the Jewish problem. Revisionism is our greatest tool for tackling the jewish problem; sacrificing truth out of some misplaced notion of expediency is a hallmark of corruption and cowardice, only making our work harder.
Avoiding crucial material out of fear of negative framing, that will happen regardless, and has already happened simply giving the enemy power, resulting in ceded ground. If we lure people in under false pretenses and insinuations couched in plausible deniability in hopes of later radicalizing them, that just creates a risk for a hostile takeover the second the envelope is pushed too far; it creates an ideological prison, pandering to and reinforcing their current misconceptions, drives them away from the direction they need to go, and prevents them from perceiving and defending against external threats. No way out but through the jew and it's depraved existential playground, America. The basic mechanics of media control and the holohoax can be easily understood in an hour by pretty much anyone, and is absolutely necessary introductory material. This isn't graduate level course work, so it isn't complexity that holds the audience back from these points, as various alt right figures sometimes claim in regard to revisionism. It's fear of punishment from authority figures that holds them back. This requires us to champion these points and act as our own unit of authority instead of beating around the bush – which frames the subject as dirty and shameful – undermining morale and reinforcing cowardice in our audience, further making the audience even more reluctant to approach it, as well as appearing fundamentally dishonest, like we're trying to slip poison into the food. Avoiding this subject out of fear it will alienate the audience, pandering to their misconceptions and giving that power. This isn't a complicated subject. Snapping that the audience already knows about the jewish problem, as Dickie did when Mike Enoch briefly mentioned the subject, is a cowardly lie, especially when the alt right goes to great lengths to redirect from all aspects of the jewish problem whenever it is brought up, all out of concern of how it'll make them look to a hostile media that hates them anyway and brands them as klansmen and dressup Nazis regardless of what they do. The inclusion of Kevin MacDonald on the panel at the recent NPI event was an attempt to retain credibility in the eyes of more radical elements and related revenue streams, an attempt to maintain plausible deniability when accused of going soft on the jewish problem. KMac's content was devoted entirely to a fantastical "pathological altruism" with not a single word mentioned in regard to his previous primary area of focus.
As fascists, we're responsible for setting parameters of ethnonationalism manifestations to come. This requires delineating "us" and "not us." A jew of any kind will never be us, and will always be an alien entity both in terms of biological composition and cultural function/identity. "European Jews" may physically look closer to us due to admixture, and can outwardly mimic our cultural expressions/forms, but, internally, will still be hyper-aware of their jewish status with accompanying motives, cloaked actions, internal ruminations/content, etc. They will always act in accord with their ingroup interests at our expense. Codewords do not cover that, and leave too many loopholes, and for that reason, the jew needs to be named, excluded, and attacked as a whole. Anything that does not address this crucial aspect of ethnonationalism in full will be co-opted by jews and taken out. Initial task for Ethno Nationalists: branding the "we", from which jews must be identified as a cohesive biological entity and unilaterally excluded. Part of the exclusion requires instilling a very clear sense in members who the "we" is, otherwise, you end up with jews getting caught in the mix and causing their usual problems, thus necessitating regular attacks on the jew. Anything that fails this will be infiltrated and co-opted by them, secessionist breakaways included. The same applies to fags, and the alt right is living proof as to why they must be treated exactly the same as jews, as their function is identical. Just like jews, fags infiltrate rising movements, form their own internal power blocs and start jockeying for positions of power and influence to ensure their interests are carried out within a new context.
The problems with Faye and Donovan should be obvious, and it speaks to White Nationalism's lack of principles and coherent direction that aside from being rightfully attacked by Carolyn Yeager, this garbage is going on relatively unopposed, with no organized response. Spencer should be attacked until he picks a side, his conferences boycotted until he stops bringing in homos and outright enemies as shining examples for us to follow. Meanwhile, the resulting Zionist and faggot influx from the alt right needs to be spat on and shown the door in no uncertain terms. Their attempt to run with and dredge ethnonationalism with their reactionary, cowardly conservative bullshit cannot go ignored. All such efforts, when spotted, will be immediately and publicly kicked to the curb by us.

Stowaways looking for a loving home
NewsCat RehomingFriday 01 June 2012
Kitten Ads
These Turkish delights are looking for a home after travelling all the way from Istanbul.
The stowaways are, however, illegal immigrants, as they entered the UK in a shipping container.
The mother, Vitra, wandered into the container of bathroom tiles in Turkey on May 5.
She then gave birth to three kittens while aboard a freight ship to England. Sadly, one kitten died during the two-week voyage.
The cats are being kept at Lady Hay Kennels in Blindley Heath, until an owner is found.
Assistant Sam Knight said the mother had been named Vitra, after the Turkish bathroom products, and the kittens Dave and Matt, after the men who found them.

"WASHINGTON — Subway-riding, penny-pinching Howard Dean has brought a new style to the Democratic National Committee since taking over from the high-rolling Terry McAuliffe.
The changes at the top of the Democratic Party are more than cosmetic, however. Dean is reaching out to new voters, in new ways, just as he did as a pioneering – though unsuccessful – candidate for president in 2004.
Dean, the political outsider in last year's field of Democratic White House hopefuls, is loosening the Beltway's noose on the Democratic Party to a degree that is surprising activists and party officials out in the states.
"They're saying this is the first time someone in his position seems more interested in really winning elections, instead of courting rich donors and protecting the party's Washington players," said Craig Crawford, a political analyst for MSNBC and CBS and a columnist for Congressional Quarterly magazine.
"Dean may be the first grassroots Democratic leader since Andrew Jackson let the mob trash the White House for his Inaugural," added Crawford."-from the story by Cox News Service.

End of reading list
Every Man Dies Alone by Hans Fallada
This is probably the one of the best, if not the best book I have ever read. It speaks of who we are as humans in conditions that are truly evil. You always wonder who you would be like in the cast of characters. If you read one book this year, this is it.
Robert the Bruce (the Steps to the Empty Throne) by Nigel Tranter
The first in a trilogy written in 1969.
– After reading 2/3's of this book I gave up. The plot was minimal, the writing was pretty good but the characters, more and more were introduced. You needed a small encyclopedia just to keep them referenced. When the Comyn clan was introduced that was it. The plot disappeared in the myriad of names. Sorry Nigel but I have to move on.
Almost Friends by Phillip Gulley
Written by a Quaker minister.
The Shia Revival by Vali Nasr
For anyone that has an interest in the Middle East this is required reading. Most of us in the West are absolutely blind when it comes to any history of the Arab world and this book bring the Shia / Sunni information into perspective. You cannot understand what is happening there until you begin to understand what has and is continuing to happen with Islam today.
The No Asshole Rule by Robert Sutton
197 page book that you can read in a long evening. Some interesting points. He really talks about a lot of dyfunctional activities in the typical workplace. He has a blog which is active and gives you an idea of where he is coming from.
The Law of Dream by Peter Behrens
Great fiction by a Canadian about the Irish family and one young person who left to come to North Amercia. This has a very refreshing style to it. This would make a wonderful movie.
Everything is Miscellaneous – The power of the new digital disorder by David Weinberger, coauthor of The Cluetrain Manifesto
This book should be required reading for anyone who used the internet. He speaks about a 3rd order and how we should be getting our heads around the way the digital world stores data. Forget the Dewey decimal system, the tree structure and the physical limitations of print and paper. They have their place but we need to view information in a different fashion if we are to garner some advantages to information that were never possible before.
The Perfect Thing – How the iPod Shuffles Commerce, Culture and Coolness by Steven Levy
A very easy read. His big point is the action of shuffling and how it has changed the way we hear music and pushes changes in the music industry. Has some interesting stories and behind the scenes happenings about the iPod. There is nothing technical about this book, it is more about the people and ideas behind the device. Interesting that yesterday on CNN he was being interviewed about the iPhone. The interview started off with someone trying to steal the TV persons microphone. We may not know what an iPhone looks like but we do know what an iPod looks like.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
This is a very eerie book, haunting in its presentation and story. This is a book you could discuss at length with anyone else who has read it. It brings up imagery and ideas that you never wanted to think about but sat there in your brain anyway. My advice – don't even start to read this book, you won't put it down until you get to page 241, the last page.
January 4, 2008 5:48 pm
I'm currently reading The Kite Runner. WOW! They've made it into a major motion picture (which means they will likely butcher it) but I highly recommend the book.
LOVED The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay.
January 11, 2008 5:45 pm
I just finished The Road. Unbelievable. I finished it on the plane home, and had to choke back tears and keep from openly sobbing.
June 9, 2009 8:26 pm
I loved The Road. It is one of the few novels that I continued to mull over in my mind, even weeks after finishing it. Every aspect of the book, including the stark style of writing and minimal punctuation, reinforces the tone. Amazing.

OK,OK Sasha. You say he was born in the USA. Explain to me then why he is eligible if only one parent was a US citizen
Was Sidney even a US citizen? If she was it was just barely
You have hit the proverbial nail on the proverbial head....Sidney was NOT old enough to confer citizenship on her son and the alleged father was not a citizen at all.....therefore Barrack Hussein Obama is NOT a natural born citizen of the United States even if he was born in Hawaii - which seems increasingly unlikely.

Pain while urinate UTI or STD?
Patient : I had anal sex with a girl and the next day I had a burning sensation when I urinate. Now a week later I still have a surfing sensation and lower abdominal discomfort. Do I have a uti or an std? I started taking cranberry pills 2 days ago and my symptoms have improved slightly but not 100%
Symptoms: Burning sensation while urination, pain/ pressure lower abdomin, no discharge from penis
Doctor : Hello, If you have had anal sex , then it is likely that as the anal flora is full of micro-organisms , that you may h ave contracted a urinary tract infection of a STI. The symptoms of burning sensation while urination indicate a UTI with lower abdominal and backache. The symptoms are usually improved with alkalinization of urine which the cranberry pills do effectively. But it is important to visit a physician for a urine and urethral swab culture and sensitivity test to isolate the causative organism ( could be E.coli or chlamydia/gonorrhea,ureaplasma ureolyticum), based on which the necessary antibiotics can be started to direct the treatment accordingly and the course usually lasts for a week . In the meantime along with cranberry pills its necessary to drink 5-6 liters of water per day to flush out the infection sooner. I hope i have answered your query in detail, wishing you good health, regards

Lessburg, Virginia Urgent Care and Walk-in Clinics

Three years later I am still happy and proud to be working with Akili Dada. Talk about job satisfaction! ~ Joyce Ngumba, Director Innovation in Leadership Program
On Friday (December 11th) my colleagues and I went for a Dada Dialogue in Kawangware. We initiated Dada Dialogues this year responding to the need to create spaces where young women felt free to discuss the issues that affect them and their communities. Through the dialogues we as Akili Dada speak to these issues sharing the knowledge and resources we have gained as an organization, empowering the young women to act as agents of change. Having visited Isiolo, Kwale, Bomet and Makueni throughout the year, Kawangware was the last and best dialogue yet. Indeed we met 64 smart, funny and engaging women between the ages of 16-40 who shared their experiences with us.
The issues articulated by the women that affected them and their communities heavily centered on the lack of employment that then has contributed to a number of social challenges including insecurity and poor parenting on the one hand and teenage pregnancy, prostitution and poverty on the other. These ladies unsparingly shared with us their life experiences and we were honored that they felt that the dialogue was a free enough space for them to do just that. There was a heartfelt moment for example when the youth confronted the older women about their lack of parenting and lack of providing for their children. In turn the older women apologized to the youth for their neglect. Talk about an intergenerational dialogue! The beauty of this experience was that it was not the usual pity party session; the women boldly highlighted their concerns and the challenges of life in Kawangware while openly engaging each other in finding solutions. At the end of the dialogue we collectively devised an action plan to address some of the pressing challenges. As I was reflecting on this dialogue I was impressed by the resilience and sense of determination these powerful women had in ensuring that they and their community has a second chance. They resolved to ensure that their lives would not be relegated to a life of poverty, crime, and unemployment. I should not neglect to mention that 95% of the women in that room were unemployed and I believe that something can be done to give these women that second chance. I am hoping that as Akili Dada and hopefully with some help from other like minded organizations we can have a "second chances" initiative where such women can realize their potential through skills building workshops and back to school initiatives.
After lunch we visited, Mary, one of our scholars. Mary lives in an informal settlement popularly known as Satellite in Nairobi and is one of our most recent recipients of the Akili Dada comprehensive scholarship. We were impressed to see that in addition to excelling in school, Mary had already taken initiative to impact change in her community. Her community service project involves facilitating neighborhood clean ups. Mary narrated that her motivation for the project was brought about when she witnessed the death of a neighbor's child due to typhoid disease. She resolved to rally her community to keep their environment clean, educating them on the benefits of doing what may seem as a little action that builds to bigger benefits for her community such as fewer cases of such untimely yet preventable deaths. We spoke to Mary's mother who herself is an inspiration, selling porridge in Kibera (yet another informal settlement in Nairobi) to support her family. Her husband has been unemployed for several years and thus making her the sole breadwinner. Her determination to ensure her children got an education reminds us of the importance of our work in ensuring that underprivileged girls have access to quality education. As she thanked us profusely for the scholarship we were also reminded of the greater impact that our scholarships have on the households that these young women come from. Mary's mom can now focus her energies on providing an education for Mary's siblings, easing the economic burden that was once a heavy on her.
In the evening (it was indeed a long day) Joy and I went to Mercy Mugure's magazine launch at the Michael Joseph Center in Nairobi. Mercy, a 2015 Dadas Ignite fellow, is a young woman living with a disability and making a difference for persons living with disabilities. Mercy's initiative ensures that the lives of people living with disability are portrayed in a positive way and on that night was launching Ability Africa Magazine. Mercy is a strong believer that disability is not inability and has channeled her efforts to challenge the way society views persons that live with disabilities. "We have lives too, we are parents, we are spouses, we are professionals, and we yearn for the same things that all people do." Says Mercy. The magazine, the first of its kind in Kenya at least, highlights the lives of people living with disabilities in an informative and empowering way. We as Akili Dada were proud to be a part of this event. During her remarks, Mercy, spoke passionately about her hopes for the magazine. She stated that she wanted the magazine to serve as an advocacy tool so that children growing up with any kind of disability do not have to go through some of the challenges she and others have gone through. The event was well attended and exemplified inclusion with people living with all kinds of disabilities including the physically challenged, hearing impaired, people living with albinism among others being well represented. The event was so inspiring and empowering. The magazine was endorsed by Honorable Isaac Maura a Member of Parliament living with albinism and a champion for people living with disabilities. The magazine was also endorsed by Senator Godliver Omondi also living with a disability and the National council of People living with disabilities. I was so proud that one of our Dadas had started such an initiative.
On my way home from the event, I was overwhelmed with gratitude to be part of an organization that allows me to engage with women from all walks of life. In addition, I am more proud that we are not just sitting and watching we are trying our best to make sure that these women realize their potential. I am reminded of Wangari Maathai who used the now famous humming bird analogy and states that like the humming bird that poured drops of water to quench a forest fire, she (Wangari) was doing her little bit to save her environment and to change the world. I am certain that Akili Dada is doing its little bit too in ensuring that young women not only realize their potential but also are positioned to be the leaders of tomorrow.
As we wrap up this year, I am exceedingly proud of our work and look forward to next year. I also can't help to feel so blessed to work with Purity, Veronica, Peninah, Joy and Doris who make coming into work every day a joy.
Here is to a productive 2016 and Happy holidays!

The majority of people in Brazil oppose abortion on grounds of microcephaly, a condition which causes babies to be born with abnormally small heads, a new survey has revealed.
An increase in cases of microcephaly has been linked to the spread of the Zika virus, which causes flu-like symptoms and usually clears up in a week. The possible, but disputed link with microcephaly, has led to demands that Brazil liberalise its restrictive abortion laws.
However, a poll commissioned by Brazil's Datafolha Institute has found that 58% of Brazilians oppose abortion in cases of women infected with Zika, against 32% in favour of terminations. A further 10% had no opinion.
In cases where microcephaly is confirmed in a foetus, a majority still opposed abortion, at 51% of respondents. The percentage stating they would back an abortion in such a circumstance was 39%.
The continuing opposition to abortion in Brazil comes despite a call by the United Nations for countries affected by the Zika virus to offer terminations and a major push by advocates of abortion to sway the opinions of pro-life ministers in Brazil's parliament.
Such actions have, however, been met by moves by politicians to bolster Brazil's existing anti-abortion legislation, specifically on the question of seeking an abortion due to a microcephaly diagnosis.
Pope Francis also weighed in on the ongoing attack on Brazil's the pro-life stance, insisting, as he concluded his recent visit to Mexico that abortion is "a crime" which sees the "throwing out of one life to save another…it's a crime, an absolute evil".

College and Career Readiness
ILN states have developed a shared framework for understanding college and career readiness (CCR). This framework focuses on the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that have the greatest impact on student achievement and lifelong success. States are actively incorporating this shared framework into their state definitions of CCR; orienting their education systems to operationalize this goal; and engaging postsecondary stakeholders to ensure seamless pathways to college and career.

Samsung SCH F319 - Samsung rips off the i-Pod
With Motorola making hay while the sun shines with different versions of its RAZR model, Samsung has decided to set its eyes on another popular money making machine - Apple's famous iPod. The new SCH F319 need not hide anything since its pretty clear from where it draws its inspiration from. To convince you that it is a music phone, it has a stereo speaker system built-in. Additionally it has about 200 megabytes of memory and a special Mp3 player. Things are made much easier thanks to the jog dial which quickly let you browse through the playlist.
The handset when closed looks just like a Mp3 player, its only when you slide out the keypad does it become clear that the F319 is a cell phone.

If there's one blog that summarises free-spirited bohemian style, it's FUSS! Based out of scenic Goa, Rhea Gupte of FUSS has eclectic taste and the spin she gives hers outfits is always noteworthy. Whether it's going all out with spunky accessories or pulling a 180 with a look that's completely simple, the chic blogger loves experimenting with styling to create looks that are unique to her. We collaborated with her on our Shivan&NarreshxStylista collection and if you think she went OTT with her styling, think again! The blogger took the minimal route and her photographs amidst the frothy waters and clear skies of Goa are almost poetic. We also quizzed the blogger about her views on this collaboration and here's what she had to say:
1. Tell us a little about your blog FUSS?
FUSS is a creative space for me to express my thoughts and ideas about fashion, as well as to experiment with styling, photography and composition.
2. What was your concept behind this stunning lookbook?
My idea was to portray the beautiful Shivan&NarreshxStylista pieces in a peaceful setting at a beautiful destination. It embodies the spirit of a woman who enjoys being by herself, expressing her personality through the clothes she wears and finds joy in the little moments of life.
3. What is your favourite piece from the Shivan and Narresh for Stylista collection?
My favourite piece from the collection is The Linear Obsession Swimsuit. It is an unusual colour palette, yet looks so chic and wearable thanks to the way the colours have been juxtaposed. It also fits like a dream!
4. How was your experience collaborating with Stylista?
I always enjoy working with brands which give me complete creative control, and Stylista was absolutely supportive of having me work on my original idea for this. Also, it was a lovely opportunity to work with clothes designed by Shivan and Narresh, who are my favourite swimwear designers in the country.
5. Any tips on how one can style the Shivan & Narresh for Stylista collection?
The pieces look amazing just as they are, which is why I kept the styling minimal. However, I would love to see them worn with a wide-brimmed straw hat and a cute beach bag!
