My name is Peter and I have become a stereotypical manwhore. But I wasn't always this way. In High school I played soccer and I was a perennial standout, but as many people know soccer don't get you laid or popular. I really didn't understand my predicament because I was 5'11 175 pound jock. Years of soccer sculpted my body into twisted steel, coupled with my messy brown hair and hazel eyes I should have been a stud. Unfortunately, I was a class clown and a little bit immature for my age. While I had a relatively decent Continue»
Boxing with Mistress Victoria Mistress Victoria was a tall Native American dominatrix, with long straight black hair, a quiet smile, and a wicked sense of humor. She was trained in kick-boxing and Tai Kwan Do. Each time I had a session with her (and I saw her weekly for over a year), I marveled at how long and hard she whipped me-- making me take so much punishment and still not ever marking me. Even when she used a single-tail, she was so accurate (and considerate) that the bright red welts would disappear in 3- Continue»

Later on she passed by a Starbucks Cafe while jogging and saw her best friend Selena Gomez sitting at a small table just inside, Demi stopped jogging and made her way to the Cafe door. "DEMI!!!!!!!" Selena yells after seeing her walk in, "Hey girl!!" Demi replys. They hug and Selena kisses her on the cheek almost on the lips, "I was just thinking about you" Demi replys "I hope in a good way" she l Continue»

Mrs M I have a recorded delivery for you can you sign here. I leant forward to sign and my towell slipped revealling my stocking clad body and my large 36E breats. "Oh I am sorry" I apologised " Continue»
When I was 23, I was horny constantly. What I really wanted was to be fucked by dozens of men every day, in my mouth and pussy and ass...over and over again. I couldn't really do that, so I masturbated constantly. It wasn't unusual for me to make myself cum fifteen times a day and I was constantly fucking my pussy and my ass with toys and then licking them clean before putting them away. Even to this day, I almost always wear a butt plug during the day because I love the feeling of cock filling my ass and I Continue»

My cock's been in a few holes in its' life, and was needing something new to get into. My 'sex-only' friend Lyn and I were cruising the internet when we saw this advert for a swingers' group meeting in our area. Both partners in the couple had to be bisexual, and I was looking forward to sucking cock for the first time, while Lyn had been with a couple of women before, so we replied to the advert. Soon, a couple contacted us , inviting us to their flat a couple of miles away, and we looked forward to a cock-sucking, cu Continue»

I have been arranging gang bangs for married women since 1994 here in the Tampa area. 5 years ago I had a couple contact me about arranging a gang bang for her and that he was a cuckold. She was 30 at the time, he was 41 and up front both of them told me they wanted only guys who could impregnate her. At first I thought it might be all talk but as we set a date she explained she would let me know because she was keeping records of her temperatures so she knew when she would be fertile. I arranged for the guys, Continue»
"In my second scene ever, my agent put me with Shane Diesel. Worst experience of my fucking life. While I was waiting for him to arrive, I got curious and looked him up on the computer. When I saw how big his cock was, I was horrified. I was scared to fucking death! When I came into this industry, I had only had sex three times. But I'm very intimate and sexual in my own mind. The first thing I did was I went downstairs, found a bottle of rum and gulped it down. It was a horrible scene, dude. But I really needed mon Continue»
My freshmen year at collage has finally concluded, yesterday was the last day of my classes. It's summer time and I just arrived home after completing the three-hour drive from campus, but that's when reality set in. Being home again…. I'm twenty and being here isn't going to be easy. Any freedom I had over these past few months is now gone, now that I'm back under my fathers roof and have to answer to him. As for my privacy, well that's gone too especially with my two eighteen year old s****rs (non identica Continue»
I heard the door open and then the sound of her stilletoes on the hard wood floor. I was lying naked on the floor as her last SMS instructed. She swayed into the room, her long stocking clad legs leading my eyes up to my mistress. I could just see the tops of her stockings peeking out of the modest business skirt that she wore. Wordlessly she walked across the room and placed her stilletoes on either side of my head. My cock throbbed in anticipation and a thin bead of pre-cum oozed slowly out of it. She squatted d Continue»

During the critical time between pulling out and living to fuck another day or those ten seconds of pure, raw positive energy release from the penis to my brain I choose the latter and laid out the foundation for the next c***d I have created.

So a couple weekends ago I was with this girl. We were at this huge blow out party in the woods. Cops came so we hid. WE hid for hours in the 30 degree cold. She said she was sooo cold so I told her I would warm her up. So I kissed her. Then she kissed me back! And from there we started hooking up. Eventually my hand ended up up her shirt. Pulled off her bra and sucked on her boobies. Then I got my hand and put it down her pants and rubbed her. She kept groan and saying my name. This gave me a huge hardon!!. Continue»
I first met Amanda Bynes on the set of one of her movies in New York, it was summer and she was wearing a light tank top and shorts i could see every curve in her tight body. I could tell she worked out just by looking at her, she stomach was flat and toned her legs and arms had visable muscles to them. I was one of the cops assigned to direct traffic and keep people away from the set when they where shooting so i pretty much had an all access pass. She was talking to me in between shots when we seemed to hit it off, i Continue»

This tale is based on an unquestionably right tale in August 2009 that occurred to me at the NY Metro. Honestly, I have long had a secret desire – to bring the girl to orgasm on the escalator, but men will know me, sometimes standing behind a girl in a small skirt, which is a few steps above do not arise unequivocal thought. As the object had to find a girl who does not bother the problems of high ethics in public places, confident, and surely not just whore Railway station.

This is going to be the on-going story of a model maker, who sometimes made the models! If you're sitting comfortably, then I'll begin. Once upon a time, if my memory serves, a master figure maker, a sculptor, decided to make some 3" high erotic figurines, some 75mm tall. He carved and carved, but as his imagination wasn't so hot he made a bit of a mess of everything, and, far from being objects of lust and fascination, his dumpy creatures were li Continue»

I think that message may be related to the file name and path being too long. Did you change locations of the files?

Resolve that some decorations may have to wait until next year. Depending on your child's age you may have to keep your favorite decorations boxed this year.

Having a family cooking making party is a great way to prepare cookie platters for your neighbors and friends to give as a token of affection during the season.
Save the family tree by having a special toddler tree just for your son or daughter. This small tree can be kid-sized and decorated in baby-friendly Christmas ornaments such as plush ornaments and other safe decorations.
Decorate your Christmas tree appropriately for your child's age. Put glass bulbs, lights, tinsel and ornaments that are delicate or have removable parts out of reach.
The air is filled with the aroma of gingerbread cookies, minty candy canes, the piney Christmas tree, and yummy hot apple pie.
Celebrate the holiday season with this classic Golden storybook which includes six scratch-and-sniff scents in The Sweet Smell of Christmas
Keep kids in the spirit with kid Christmas activities that engage their minds.
Christmas crafts for instance, can keep them busy by turning the home into a winter wonderland. Seeing their efforts on display is always a bonus.
From: squidoo.com
Prevent tree accidents, screw a hook into a wall stud and secure the hook with fishing line or sturdy string to your Christmas tree
Make a snack for reindeer. Take 1 cup of oatmeal, 1 tbsp brown sugar & 1 tbs cinnamon, add colored sugar just before spreading on front lawn
Lollipops can line the edge of your sidewalk! Place 8 inch white Styrofoam circles onto 36in wooden slats. Cover lollipops w/red cellophane
Children love to 'camp out' so consider sleeping in sleeping bags in front of the Christmas tree one night.
Let the kids make their own Christmas tree. Find some wall space, get a nice sized roll of paper and paint, color or draw a tree.
Develop small motor skills with toys like stacking toys, wooden puzzles, shape sorters & pop up toys that little fingers can manipulate
Put aside fragile ornaments from exploring tots. The bottom half of the tree should be decorated in paper, plastic, cloth or yarn ornaments

Do not leave children unsupervised around any kind of electrical lighting or open flame.
Most young children are afraid of Santa at first. How you react is the key to her overcoming her fears.
Try as much as possible to include your toddlers in holiday activities. At this age they like to "help", and if you include them in what you are doing it often reduces the possibility of temper tantrums.
Take an inventory of potential hazards you have in your home after decorating and pay special attention to electrical decorations. Christmas lights hung or strung across a wall or window are no exception. These may be low enough for a small child to grab before you can notice.
To keep your child from getting to the Christmas tree, place it inside of a large play yard and scoot the tree toward the wall out of reach.
Play scavenger hunt when shopping. Kids loves stickers, so when she finds an item on the list she gets a sticker. She has fun, and you get your shopping done.

An audiobook in Tamil language.Millions of devotees regard Jagadguru Shankaracharya Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Paramacharya, the pontiff of the Kanchi Kamatchi Peetam, or the Sage of Kanchi, as the greatest saint of our time.He gained the reverence and respect of the devotees to whom he was simply "Periyava" - the revered one or Maha-Periyava.His compassion-filled gaze could melt away a devotee's sorrows. He could divine everything. To cite an instance, he knew that a devotee, far away from him, was unwell, something even a neighbor did not know. The acharya's blessings and prasadam saved the devotee's life. This is one of many such examples of his infinite grace. Once could bask for a lifetime in the ray of love that flowed from his eyes.As God knows what his devotees need, the Paramacharya knew, too. He knew who needed kindness and who could provide it, who needed help and who would give it; he brought them together.Bharaneedharan's gentle writing is familiar to thousands of readers of Tamil fiction and nonfiction, particularly his biographical sketches of several spiritual gurus. He began his career as cartoonist "Sridhar" of Ananda Vikatan and later achieved spectacular success as "Marina" the playwright.Admired by millions of readers of devotional literature, Bharaneedharan treasures the grace and blessings he received from the Sage of Kanchi, whose story he tells in his inimitable, simple, moving style in this audiobook.More

Republicans are significantly more likely than Democrats or independents to rate their mental health as excellent, according to data from the last four November Gallup Health and Healthcare polls. Fifty-eight percent of Republicans report having excellent mental health, compared to 43% of independents and 38% of Democrats. This relationship between party identification and reports of excellent mental health persists even within categories of income, age, gender, church attendance, and education.
Please click through to see this remarkable data. Note that this data shows self-reported mental health.
Here's another group of people who self-report excellent mental health.
In their desperate search for solutions people trapped in a destructive and seemingly hopeless relationship with a psychopath frequently are told: Quit indulging him and send him for therapy. A basic assumption of psychotherapy is that the patient needs and wants help for distressing or painful psychological and emotional problems. Successful therapy also requires that the patient actively participate, along with the therapist, in the search for relief of his or her symptoms. In short, the patient must recognize there is a problem and must want to do something about it.
But here is the crux: Psychopaths don't feel they have psychological or emotional problems, and they see no reason to change their behavior to conform with societal standards they do not agree with.
Hmm. Go figure.

Telford, PA (PressExposure) June 10, 2009 -- You presentation of your product through brochure printing outputs counts as much in the brochure's success as its quality. Custom brochures cannot live on eye-catching quality alone. It needs a well thought of content strategy.
This will effectively communicates the best features of your product or service. That is why it is important to know a few things about the proper ways to effectively display and explain your products for brochure printing.
Pictures, Pictures and pictures
You should focus on the quality of the pictures you put in presenting your product through brochures. People always look at the picture of the product to see if they really want to buy it. They look for the style, they look for the angles, and above all, they look at it and imagine if they own it. With this said, you must always maximize the reader's experience by adding in as much pictures with different angles as you can. Let them judge mostly through the pictures, this is how many people shop anyway. If your product looks good enough in those images, you will not have any problems promoting it using custom brochures.
Ordered and unordered lists
In addition, lists are a very good idea for most product descriptions in a brochure. You really do not need several big block paragraphs describing your product in essay form. Most people want quick and fast information especially when reading brochures. So make a list of the best features of your product, or a list of the advantages of your product over the competition.
Crunch up and condense all the information in a few short phrases in the list. This way, people would be able see the information they want immediately, without having to read and get bored with a whole block of text. Try to use ordered text (ordinal) if you want to illustrate processes, orders and magnitude while use bulleted unordered lists if you have groups of concepts of equal value. All this should make for a better experience in judging a product through a color brochure.
Another good way to make an effective product brochure is to emphasize key points. In terms of pictures, your best and usually your most expensive product should always have the largest picture. In text on the other hand, try making the best descriptions, facts, keywords and concepts appear in bold so that people's eyes lock to them immediately. Try to give attention to these aspects so people read what you want them to read immediately.
Clear layman language
Now, also in terms of writing, do not forget to use a clear and simple layman's style of writing. You do not want to confuse people with difficult industry only words that will never be of use to them. Make it clear by using simple layman's terms. Some people even find that using analogies are a great way to explain to people what the product does in a simpler language. This should make your brochures and the products more inclusive and simple, getting everyone to understand why they should buy it.
Define terms
That being said however, if you do need to use big terms, you might as well define them as well. Explain this again in laymen's terms and even try to add in the word's etymology for better impact. Try to place this section as early as possible so that the people reading the brochure will have a better understanding of the brochure and the important terms and definitions early on.
Now, just follow all these tips and you will see how people would positively respond to your custom brochures. By making it easier for people to judge your product through your brochures, you can eliminate second thoughts and get a product sold quicker and more effectively because of it.

Although I would have considered myself to be rather experienced in the field of sexual exploration, by my 19th birthday it still frustrated me that I hadn't sealed the deal, so to speak. It always frustrated me that I had never had a serious relationship but had numerous long-term 'flings' starting at the age of 16. I couldn't understand how I would start something with a guy, only for them to decide a month or two later of fooling around that they weren't into it which resulted in them moving on, and in most cases, ignoring me. I was sick of this repetitive bad luck and vowed to wait for the right guy to come along whom I would 'surrender my body' to. However, this was not to be the case.
I was on a week long getaway with a childhood friend of mine, with no expectations other than to have an injection of sun, culture, and great food and wine. We talked at length throughout the holiday about our boy woes, mine being that I hadn't yet met someone whom I wanted to have sex with. We laughed about it, enjoying that liberation and freedom of being away from home in the balmy heat of southern France and celebrating our youth.
It was on one night that we went out to dinner that we met two young eligible French students looking for somewhere to go out. My friend C noticed that one of them was paying close attention to her and I noticed the same about the other. Perfect! One for each of us! We were persuaded without much hesitation to go for 'un boisson' with them in a small pub in the centre of the town. We had a few drinks with them and then moved on to a cocktail bar.
At this stage, we were quite merry and were thoroughly enjoying the company of the two handsome suitors. The bar was dark and dingy, with low lights, tacky posters, and cheesy club music blaring from a 'retro' duke box. We ordered several rounds of shots (which must have been watered down as they tasted like pure juice). It was hilarious. C's man, Pierre, had a very poor command of English and I laughed as they communicated in pigeon English and French. In the end, there was nothing left to do but to walk in the direction of our hostel and bid them goodnight.
However, we realized that we had forgotten our keys and were immediately offered beds in the hotel rooms of our French companions. When we arrived, we were met by the sight of a two-story, two star 'hotel' with the facade of a traditional abode. Hilariously, they had also forgotten their keys and my man climbed nimbly up a street pole, inched his way along a large windowsill that was jutting out, and slipped without any difficulty in through the bathroom window of his hotel room. He looked like the cat who had gotten the cream as he ran downstairs eagerly to open the door for us. He cautioned us to be quiet and we giggled as we tiptoed upstairs to their bedrooms.
C went into Pierre's room and I went into the other, my insides squirming with excitement and anticipation. We sat down on the bed talking for a few minutes and then we leaned in and began to kiss. I felt electricity between us, my body hungry for his touch. He unhooked my bra with deft hands and pushed me back onto the bed. He was easily the most experienced man I have ever been with and knew exactly what to do.
It was amazing. I let go of everything; all my preconceived ideas of what I wanted or what it would be like. I didn't think, didn't even wonder why I was doing it, I just did. It was spectacular. What made it even more fantastic was hearing him talk dirty en Francais. He was such a gentleman and knew exactly what to do. Although he was a liiiittle bit older than me at 25 years-old, for this one night, age didn't matter. We didn't swap numbers, didn't add each other on Facebook, and I liked it that way. It meant that what we had shared really was for one night only. A brief but exhilarating encounter that will always be one of my finest memories. The following morning C and I left the hotel at 7 a.m., running through the tiny lobby so as not to be seen and laughed the whole way back to our hostel. It was a night I'll never forget.

Woo-hoo! Royals draftee Whit Merrifield had the national championship-winning hit in tonight's game 2 of the CWS title series for South Carolina. Let's carry that kind of performance over to your pro career, Whit. Nice job throughout the CWS. Plus some face time postgame tonight.
AAA - Omaha: O-Royals 5, Oklahoma City 0
DH Thorman 2-4, HR (13), 3 RBI (46), RS -- .275, man, he's keeping it up with the bat
SS Mertins 2-4, 3B (2), HR (4), 2 RBI (19), RS -- .243
C Bellorin 2-4, K -- .164
LF Lough 1-5, K, 2 RS -- .273
1B Ka'aihue 0-4 -- .307, BA slipping, slipping
2B Lucas 1-4 -- .331
RF Parraz 1-4, K, OF assist at home -- .267
Baez 6 IP, 5 H, 3 BB, 2 K -- W, 1-0, 4.02 ERA, Manauris gets first AAA win in style, just ignore the BB/K
Herges IP, nothing -- 4.71 ERA
B. Hardy 1 1/3 IP, H, 2 K -- 1.89 ERA, I predict he's the next O-Royal to get the call
Rupe 2/3 IP, 2 H, K, WP -- 2.36 ERA
* Manauris Baez led four Omaha pitchers in an 8-hit shutout of the RedHawks. Kurt Mertins slammed a 2-run homer in the 1st for his 4th of the season to get Omaha a 2-run lead before the Royals made an out. RF Jordan Parraz kept the shutout intact early with an OF assist at the plate to end the 2nd. Scott Thorman put 3 more runs up with one swing of the bat in the 5th as his 3-run homer (his 13th) made it 5-0 Omaha. Baez stranded 2 in the 6th and handed it off to the bullpen in the 7th. Josh Rupe left 2 in scoring position in the 9th. RedHawks SP Elizardo Ramirez allowed 5 runs (4 ER) over 5 IP to drop to 4-3 with a 5.53 ERA. C Jarrod Saltalamacchia and DH Ryan Garko had 2 hits for OKC. The Royals are 41-36. Omaha has Wednesday off.
AA - NWA: all-star break
* The Nats-driven TL North team takes on the TL South Wednesday.
A-Adv. - Wilmington: Blue Rocks 3, Frederick 2
LF Ortiz 4-5, 2B (12), HR, 2 RBI (23), RS -- .305
2B Navarro 2-3, HBP, 2B (5), RBI (19), RS, SB (4) -- .242
3B Romak 2-4, picked off, E (6) -- .292
RF Francis 2-4, K, RS, SB (2) -- .261
1B Hosmer 0-2, 2 BB, K, picked off -- .351
SS Colon 0-5, 2 K -- .000, can only go up from here, right?
C S. Perez 0-3, BB -- .255
Lamb 4 IP, UER, 6 H, BB, 7 K, E (2), WP -- 1.77 ERA
Hodgson 4 2/3 IP, ER, 2 H, 2 BB, 3 K -- W, 4-6, 4.97 ERA
Mozingo 1/3 IP, H -- SV, 2, 4.71 ERA
* Christian Colon's debut probably wasn't as he hoped but the Rocks did get the win. Colon's first pro AB, you ask? Grounded into a 5-4-3 DP. The Keys used a John Lamb error to score a run in the 1st but Lamb struck out the side after a leadoff single in the 2nd. Adrian Ortiz clubbed a 2-run homer in the 3rd for his 1st of the season to give Wilmington a 2-1 lead. Colon followed with a K in his 2nd AB. Lamb got 2 key Ks with the bases loaded to finish out the 3rd and Rey Navarro hit an RBI double in the 4th to make it 3-1 Rocks. In Colon watch, he grounded out in his 3rd AB in the 5th. A 7th inning Colon forceout ended the inning and he K'd to end the Rocks 9th.

RF Ronnie Welty and 3B Billy Rowell had 2 hits for Frederick. Rowell also had 2 errors (19). The Rocks are 4-2. Tim Melville starts the first of 3 at home Wednesday versus the Lynchburg Hillcats (4-2, A-Adv. Reds).

Sam Runion was lockdown (did I just write that?) for the last 4 outs for his 1st save of the season. Peoria SP Nick Struck allowed 4 runs (2 ER) over 4 IP to drop to 2-8. 2B Matt Cerda had 2 hits for the Chiefs. The Bees are 1-4.

They would only strand 3 in the other 8 innings combined. Casper smacked Scott Alexander around for 3 runs in the 4th and 2 in the 5th as a Nick Graffeo wild pitch allowed 1 of the runs in to make it 5-0 Ghosts. Casper added a 2-run triple in the 6th as part of a 4-run rally to make it 9-0. Murray Watts led off the 7th with his 3rd homer of the season to account for the Chukars' only run. Starter Tyler Gagnon pitched 6 scoreless frames to get his first win for Casper this season. 1B Jordan Ballard and DH Robert De La Cruz each had 3 hits and LF Corey Dickerson had 2 hits. IF is 3-6.

Y. Ventura 5 1/3 IP, 3 R (2 ER), 4 H, 2 BB, 4 K -- 0.00 ERA
Sanchez 2/3 IP, 2 H, K -- 0.00 ERA
* The Royals came back to take a 3-run lead but are fighting off the Reds in the 7th. Julio Pimentel had another rocky rehab outing as he allowed a run in his inning of work. Yordano Ventura endured 2 errors as the Reds added another run in the 2nd. Jarrod Dyson hit an RBI single in the 3rd and Henry Moreno hit an RBI double in the 4th to tie it. Dyson slapped a 2-run triple to break the tie in the 7th and Daniel Mateo followed with an RBI groundout to make it 5-2 Royals. Ventura was pulled with 2 on and 1 out in the 7th and Jose Sanchez allowed 2 runs before Dyson ended the rally with an OF assist at the plate. Jerico Blanco hit a sac fly in the 8th. I'll bring you the thrilling conclusion tomorrow, if there is a thrilling one. It may be a boring conclusion. Starter Jonathan Correa allowed 2 runs (1 ER) over 4 IP. Two Reds had 2 hits.

Need some startup help
Hi there.
I've been doing some programing back in the 1990's and the beginning of 2000, mostly vb.net.
Some of my knowledge have gone missing, so I try this forum to get some most needed startup help.
I'm planning to create an app with a simple database that can run on iOS (and also on Android).
The purpose of the app is to be able to search for persons in an office building, getting back some info on the person and also which office room number that person occupies. This is STEP 1.
In step 2, input from the user should be something like:
- Where am I know (which room number)?
- To which room number would I like to go?
The app should from the database calculate if I'm to go north/south thru the hallway, take stairs/elevator to desired floor, and then in which direction to go to come to my destination.
Maybe I explained this in a stupid way, but this is the essence of what I would like the app/database to to.
My big question is:
- Which platform should be used to program this?
- Which language?
- Which app-building software could to this in a good way?
Hope to see some answers and hopefully I will get some direction in my work.

Im not too certain how database related (the prime focus of this site) your proposed app is.
the native db on most phones is SQLite, but as, I guess, you want to store locations centrally that means some form of central datastore. given the trivial nature of the storage that could be a SQL database or it could conceivably be flat file (depends on budget, hardware & software the central service is provided on.
the main issue is developing soemthign that runs on iOS AND Android (and presumably whatever the current name of windows mobile is)
The fundamental problem is that the phones themselves are closed ecosystems and use specialised form of languages (Android uses a derivitive of Java, iOS use Objective C, god knows what Windows mobile uses. however you may be able to cut accross all that by using HTML5 along with Ajax and/or CSS. IIRC to develop native apps for iOS you need Apple hardware & OS , Android can be developed on any OS and Windows on Microsoft OS. HTML / AJAX etc natch can be done on any host hardware.
if you can develop the app to be HTML based then that would be the way to go in my books. but that assumes that
..your location(s) will have an always on connection
..there is nothing that is going to stretch the hardware (mobile devices are very resource limited)
..although the Android development environment is or can be free (use Eclipse or Netbeans or similar, developing for iOS or windows may involve buying a development environment
dunno if Google's web tools is still around (that promised to deliver Java development process but targeting web pages for deployment)
there are some propriatory packages that claim to allow you to develop an application and then deploy on Android and or iOS. although when I looked at it around 2..3 years ago they didn't seem very nature nor especially attractive on price or performance
from what you've said so far I'd expect an HTML solution to be the way to go,not least because it frees you from having to buy specific hardware or software or development environments. it frees your users to use whatever devices they have (be it desktop, laptop, tablet, phone or whatever. But it will require a central server (I reckon it could sit happily alongside any existing corporate web server. a simple register page and search page would be very modest server load.
Coming from a VB background I found the Android flavour of Java an absolute pain (Java not so much), not quite as frustrating and seemingly needlessly obtuse as Python, but getting closeI'd rather be riding on the Tiger 800 or the Norton

Thanks for a extensive answer.
After thinking a bit, I guess I don't need a server running for this app.
The database can be incorporated in the app itself, can't it?
Because the size of the db will not be big.
We're talking about max 250 contacts (including name, room number, floor, distance from elevator/staircase to each room and so on).
And when people are moving into new offices/rooms, changing their location/phone number, all I have to do is to change this in the database, and upload the updated version of the app to App Store.
This should work perfectly for my use, shouldn't it?
Any suggestion for an easy to use HTML-coding software?

its HTML so any text editor on any computer large or small will do
as to whether thats notepad/wordpad HTMLEdit, a fiendishly complex editor like VIM or its numerous relatives/clones or a 'full on' IDE such as netbeans or eclipse is entirely up to you
as to where the data gets saved, I guess it depends on who is the provider, who is the consumer,
for what you originally outline I expected it to be a central server as different people announce where they are to the system so that anyone else within the organsiation can access that position.
in that case you'd need a central datastore accessible by all those who need to. if its on, say, your device, then the logon /log off's will fail if your device isn't present. how your proposed app would work with others trying to contact your device may well break the HTML led appraoch.I'd rather be riding on the Tiger 800 or the Norton

I'm not sure if we are talking about the same here.
I'm now in the process of downloading and installing xCode for iOS.
My plan is to develop this using my MacBookPro for iOS (iPhone and iPad) first. After I have achieved what I want, I will try to develop a simillar app for Android systems.
My point is: The database only need to be updated by one person - me.
The office rooms are static - they will never move around :-)
And when people move permanently to another office room, I do the changes in the database I have on my MacBookPro, I then update the App with the new database and relaunch the updated App.
The users (meaning the people working in the building) only need to search for other colleagues using the App.
The users never update any info in the App, they only search and USE the data from the database within the App.
Was this more clear, or am I just talking jiberish here??
Should this kind of App be able to program using xCode?

President Barack Obama signed into law Monday the extension of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 which extends the program until December 31, 2020. The law H.R. 26, also gradually increases the trigger required to activate the program to $200 million from the previous $100 million and gradually increases the industrywide retention to $37.5 billion from the previous $27.5 billion. See our comparison chart of program changes below.
With the enactment of this legislation, TRIPRA is renewed for a further six-year term, providing clarity and stability to policyholders and the insurance marketplace.
Coverage Gap?
However, the program will not be retroactive to expiry, rather it is effective January 12th, resulting in a potential coverage gap of 12 days for insureds. While Rep. Randy Neugebauer, the most recent chairman of the Insurance Subcommittee of the House Financial Services Committee, tried to assure industry that there would be no coverage gap, we await further guidance from Treasury. As a result of this uncertainty, premiums for coverage bound during that period will be due and payable, and potentially subject to minimum earned premium requirements. For organizations, taking steps now to ensure coverage continuity is key.
The mandatory offer of terrorism coverage under eligible property and casualty coverage will now be enforced. It will be important to review any coverage bound after January 1, 2015 which may have excluded terrorism coverage as a result of this program gap, to ensure that current "mandatory, make-available requirements" are met with this reenactment of the legislation.
|Effective Dates

2018 Peugeot 508 Design Changes
2018 Peugeot 508 Design Changes – Peugeot manager Maxime Picat has confirmed that the 508 will certainly proceed past 2018, when the current design results from be changed by a brand-new generation, according to a new record. UK internet site Autocar reports that while the brand name's huge car will survive on, it will be changed in an attempt to expand the 508's charm past its core markets in France, Spain and also Belgium.
2018 Peugeot 508 Design Changes
Talking with Autocar, Picat confirmed that the car would be changed when it reaches the end of its existing lifecycle around 2018, insisting that "the question is not 'will we replace it?'
Significant changes from the existing model are likely to focus on design and technology, with Picat suggesting that, to remain competitive in the section, the 508 have to be rejuvenated and also have its capabilities changed.
The concern is whether we duplicate the same 4.8-metre watering hole (car) style or otherwise. [The segment] the auto is in is losing customers as well as we additionally see that it isn't a segment that customers imagine moving up to, so the opportunities available are going to decline detailed if we stall," he claimed.
We will not take a large risk, because we don't have a big car park of consumers we could risk losing, however we can removal the lines of where the course is and also we can be a little vibrant. We have a remedy which, we believe, is a good surprise– however I will certainly not tell you extra," he included.
Back in 2014, Picat hinted that the next-generation 508 range could be reinforced by a 'four-door sports car' body design, together with the extra traditional sedan variant, in comparable blood vessel to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class as well as CLS-Class brother or sisters.
In 2014, a report by Automotive Information quoted PSA Peugeot Citroen's Chief Executive Officer, Carlos Tavares, stating that the next-generation 508 will certainly be geared up with a larger choice of driver aid functions, including partial self-governing driving technology.

Tripods and monopods are used to provide the photographer or videographer with a stable base from which to shoot photographs or video. This helps avoid the shake and unwanted blur that can occur using cameras by hand. A tripod has three legs that are usually extendable, which allows the person using the tripod to adjust the height of the tripod, depending on their height and the height of the subject or scenery that they are shooting. The camera is attached to the tripod by a rotating head which allows the photographer to move the camera to get the right shot once the camera is mounted on the tripod. A handle is also usually attached to the tripod head, which allows a smooth panning motion when using the camera, and which can be especially useful when filming rather than taking still photographs. A monopod is used for similar purposes, but the main difference is that is has one leg rather than three. It cannot stand alone, therefore, and requires the photographer or videographer to keep a hold of it; however, it does provide a more stable shooting position for the camera than simply holding the camera by hand. There are advantage and disadvantages of tripods versus monopods, depending on the situation and type of photographs or film being taken. There are also many different things to consider when buying a tripod or monopod, such as cost, weight, portability, and material the device is made from. Tripods and monopods can be purchased from high street stores, department stores, and specialist camera shops as well as from eBay.
A tripod can be one of the best accessories to buy when purchasing a camera. Whether it is a DSLR camera for photography or a video camera or DSLR to be used for making films or home movies, a tripod will enhance the quality of the end result. Whenever a steady hand is needed to take a shot, a tripod should be used. For photographers, as well as holding a camera, a tripod can instead secure and hold an off camera flash or a lighting unit. Tripods are particularly useful in low light situations or when long exposures are being used in order to provide stability and prevent unwanted blur or shake in the photograph or film.
When buying a tripod, firstly consider where it will be used. If the intention is to take it on hikes in order to take nature photographs for example, a lightweight tripod will be an advantage. Heavier ones can be cumbersome, and the photographer is more likely to try and do without carrying it or using it, which will result in poorer-quality photographs. The lightest tripods are usually made from carbon fibre. They can be about 30 per cent lighter than the equivalent aluminium tripod, which can make a big difference when carrying the tripod, especially alongside other camera equipment. Aluminium tripods are very stable, and this is partly due to their extra weight when compared to carbon fibre tripods. They are, however, still popular and readily available as they can be much cheaper than a carbon fibre tripod.
Tripods have leg-locking mechanisms to enable the user to extend the legs and lock the tripod at a specific height. When buying a tripod, check how easy it is to quickly extend the tripod and lock it into place. If using the tripod for wildlife shots or when it is necessary to capture a scene quickly, then ease of set up is one of the most important things. Otherwise the shot may be lost while the user is taking too long to set up the tripod.
Alongside traditional tripods, other options such as the Joby Gorillapod can be a useful buy. The Gorillapod is a specific type of small, lightweight, plastic tripod, which, instead of extendable legs, has bendable legs. It is suitable to stand on a wall or other surface, or even bend around and fix to a tree or railings in order to get a decent photograph without blur. Many photographers would consider owning a larger, more traditional tripod and a Joby Gorillapod as well.
A monopod is a type of camera support, similar to a tripod but with only one leg rather than three. As such, it cannot stand up independently, and the user will need to support the monopod, while the monopod supports the camera. Monopods can extend quickly and are therefore very good for capturing a shot quickly before the subject moves away. They are less stable than tripods but still offer a lot more support and less camera shake than using a camera or video camera just by hand. When buying a monopod, check the height it extends to, how small it will fold up for ease of carrying, how stable and strong it feels, and what material it is made from. As with tripods, monopods can be made from a range of materials, with the most popular being aluminium or carbon fibre. Monopods usually have a ball head which allows the camera to move once mounted on the monopod. Check the movement and fluidity of the head as well as the ability to lock the camera fixed into a position without fear of it moving. Some cheaper monopods with plastic components may have a more flimsy feel. Monopods are vital for taking photographs or film of things such as motor sport or other fast moving sport, or perhaps wildlife. For motor sport shots, the monopod offers the user the ability to quickly pick up the monopod and camera and move to a new location while following the action as well as the ability to pan very easily, which is essential when taking creative shots of motor sport or other action and wanting to convey movement.
For the keen hiker or trekker who is also a keen photographer, the monopod has another advantage. Some monopods are designed as walking poles or sticks which have the camera fixing on top still. Thus, it avoids the need to carry a stick and a monopod and is always at hand.
The table below shows the advantages and disadvantages of tripods compared to monopods.
Can stand up alone – allows user to set up tripod and take photographs or film using a remote shutter release
Heavier and more cumbersome and bulky than a monopod
Compact and easy to store and carry
Cannot be used hands-free
Find Tripods and Monopods on eBay
Tripods and monopods can be purchased in camera shops or high street electrical shops as well as on eBay. Buying a tripod or monopod on eBay offers a lot of choice as there are many available, both new and second hand. To look for either a tripod or a monopod on eBay, head to the eBay homepage. Begin by opening the All Categories tab and clicking on the link for Cameras & Photography, followed by clicking the link on the left hand side and then opening the category entitled Tripods & Supports. From there, find the link on the left hand side to Tripods & Monopods. Search available item listings, or refine the search further by using new options on the left side of the page. Different brands can be selected for different types of tripod or monopod, such as table-top tripod, and the search results will reflect just these items if selected. Alternately, try entering specific terms into the search bar at the top of any eBay page.
For any photographer or videographer, some kind of tripod or monopod is a necessity. It is almost impossible to take clear, blur free photographs or film using a hand-held camera in low light conditions or at night. Both tripods and monopods have advantages and disadvantages, and as such, some people may consider buying both a tripod and a monopod in order to use in different situations. One of the main factors to consider when buying either a monopod or tripod is portability and weight. Aluminium tripods and monopods can be heavier than carbon fibre ones, but they are also cheaper. It is important to way up the pros and cons of different brand and types of monopod or tripod before purchasing.

Jonas is on his first ever soccer team and he totally loves it. He's playing with his cousin Calum. I'm pretty sure that watching 4 & 5 yr olds play soccer is one of the cutest funniest things ever.
Subway sandwiches at the park is about the closest we got to a vacation this summer.
These two are so lucky to have each other. They have so much fun together. And they're getting really good at fighting with each other too. I guess that's a good skill to have... uh...
Molly liked to slide down the hill on her belly. So funny. While a dog adds another dimension of crazy and smelly to our lives, it's also really fun.
Jonas likes trying to mess with me by posing crazy for pictures (above and below). Too bad he doesn't know that I actually think it's funny and cute - so ha! Joke's on you Jonas.
Turning 5 this week. Crazy!!!!
Good Dad. Also they're reading a couple of my favorite recent library finds: The Seven Silly Eaters, and A Sick Day for Amos McGee.

I've read that more first-borns become political, military and business leaders than other birth order people. A quick review of American presidents seems to support this claim.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Oldest children are considered to be the strongest of all birth orders bar none. They oftentimes have to endure & experience things that no other birth order has to experienced. They have it much harder than other birth orders. They have very high, even stringent expectations placed upon them. They aren't allowed to be normal children as they must set a perfect example for their younger siblings.
They must be adult-like from an early age as much responsibility is placed upon their shoulders. They have to toughen up, be strong, & aren't allowed to be vulnerable as it is a seen of weakness & they mustn't be weak in front of their younger siblings. They must be there 24/7/365 for their parents & younger siblings. They are THE SHOULDERS that the family stands on. They are to go-to person whenever there is a problem in the family. They are ones who everyone in the family, including the parents, depend upon.
They also must sublimate their needs, wishes, & desires to that of their family. They are told that their individual needs, desires, & goals are secondary to that of their siblings. They even sacrifice part of themselves for the so-called betterment of the family. They are seldom or never allowed to pursue their individual path. In wealthier families, they must follow the prescribed educational & career patterns set by their families whether it is business, medicine, lawyer, or other professions. In poorer families, they often have to forego their own education to supplement family income & to pay for their younger siblings' education. It isn't unusual for oldest children to continue to financially support their families as adults, oftentimes shortchanging their own spouses & children.
Because of strict standards & having responsibility at a young age, oldest children are very authoritative, even authoritarian in their dealings with others. They aren't of the democratic vein. They are controlling & rule/supervise with an iron hand. They aren't one to suffer fools gladly. They aren't loathe to use methodology of power=might=right. They love to use power plays to get others in line. They are also very exact in their punishment if they have been crossed.
Another aspect in their having control is being strong & invincible. They feel that it is quite fallacious to show weakness in any form. To show weakness means being disrespected & they don't want to be disrespected. They are to be respected at all times, if not adulated.

African Star Ends Man Utd's Winning Start
English Premier League Report: Stoke City v Man United 09 September 2017
English Premier League
Result: Stoke City 2-2 Man United
Date: 09 September 2017
Venue: Bet365 Stadium
Manchester United's winning start to the Premier League season came to an end, after they drew 2-2 with Stoke City on Saturday evening.
Ander Herrera was handed his first league start of the season, with Juan Mata being dropped to the bench.
Stoke enjoyed an encouraging start to the first half and put United on the back foot on a couple occasions.
Marcus Rashford could have handed United the lead after 23 minutes, but the striker failed to beat Jack Butland from close range.
The home side eventually broke the deadlock just before the halftime break when Eric-Choupo Mouting turned home Diouf's cross.
Stoke's joy was short-lived as a couple minutes later Paul Pogba's header deflected off Rashford and sailed into the back of the net.
Just over 10 minutes into the second half, United took the lead as Henrikh Mkitaryan played in Lakuku, who was denied by Butland initially but managed to slot home the rebound.
However, Stoke leveled matters in the 62nd minute when Choupo-Mouting rose above Phil Jones and headed home at the far post.
Mourinho repsonded with a double change on 71 minutes as Mata and Martial replaced Herrera and Rashford.
Lukaku should have restored United's lead in the 81st minute but the Belgian strike fired over the crossbar with only Butland to beat.
Both sides pushed for a winning goal in the closing stages, but they were unable to get the important strike.

Unanswered: DTS to import data
Hi All,
I'm working on a DTS to import data from excel files in a SQL database. The thing is, the excel files never have the same structure, meaning, never the same number of columns,sheets as we have to define a destination table and a transformation, do you know a way to do that?

Allow NULLS
I think you'll need to get the provider of the Excel file to at least include the field even if it doesn't have any data. Then, if in your destination table you can specify that columns allow NULL values, when you receive a file that doesn't have any data for a particular column in your destination table, it won't matter.
You could also set a default value on those columns. Are you working with a native Excel file or a CSV file?

If youre in a hard-hit sector like retail or financial, start updating that resume. Even if youre in a relatively safe sector, such as energy, the changing nature of IT may very well mean that, at the very least, youll need to modernize your skill set.
The only workers who shouldnt lose sleep are those involved with the few technologies that should benefit from a recession: virtualization, utility computing and green IT are all relatively safe. However, when disruptive technologies collide with disruptive economic conditions, all bets are off.
Outsourcing Will Continue
While utility computing, SaaS and cloud computing arent usually thought of in terms of outsourcing, it is an integral part of the model. If you subscribe to applications from a service provider, chances are youll call their help desk when trouble hits, not your own. Analysts believe that broader outsourcing trends will continue as well.
Outsourcing is interesting in that it is a strong trend in both boom and bust times. In a down economy, people who havent looked to outsourcing start to consider it as a way to save money. They have no choice, said Frances Karamouzis, research VP with Gartner.
She added that most organizations will only outsource pieces of IT, not the entire end-to-end IT process. Storage, security and other types of infrastructure are the most likely candidates. For in-house IT, this could be a good thing. While fewer IT jobs will remain in house, those that do will tend to be mission critical or will have a more strategic role in the future of the business.
Its a challenging job market, but some positions remain hard to fill, said John Estes, a vice president with the IT staffing firm Robert Half Technology. The most skilled IT professionals are in demand for positions in areas such as web development, applications development, network administration, and help desk and desktop support. While employers are making tough decisions and are in a cost-conscious mode, job seekers with specific, hard-to-find skills continue to have opportunities available to them. In this type of market, it becomes essential for them to understand which skills are in demand and find ways to acquire them.
IT Spending in 2009
While the analysts are all busily updating their spending forecasts for 2009 because the recession hit harder and faster than any expected, the numbers arent as grim as you might expect.
Its important to remember that analysts dont make money selling doom and gloom. Without multi-billion dollar market forecasts, few clients will be able to justify paying for their services. However, their optimism cant be divorced from reality or no one will believe them or value their research. Suffice it to say, in this economy, reality is trumping optimism and analysts are wary. IT spending will slow, but we believe that overall spending will still increase in 2009, said Karamouzis.
Other analyst firms agree. Forrester Research predicts that in the
Although all the economic forecasts went from up slightly to down drastically in a matter of days, the good news is that IT is in a better position than ever to resist the downward pull of a slowing economy, said John Gantz, chief research officer at IDC. Technology is already deeply embedded in many mission-critical operations and remains critical to achieving further efficiency and productivity gains.
Regions and Industries
As for the impact on specific industries, analysts pretty much follow the conventional wisdom. Financial, manufacturing and retail will suffer, while energy and health care should do fairly well. Gartner believes that enterprises in several other key economic sectors, including communications, the government, transportation and utilities, will all reduce IT spending in 2009. Whether that translates into job losses or just a slower adoption of new technologies is not clear.

Crucial talks today are likely to result in German-based car giant Daimler-Chrysler installing one of its own executives as a new chief operating officer at Mitsubishi.
Daimler is also looking at upping its stake in Mitsubishi beyond the 34 per cent agreed earlier this year, effectively making it MMC's biggest single shareholder.
The moves have been forced on Daimler by Mitsubishi's free-falling share price and image following revelations that it had duped authorities by failing to inform them of customer complaints regarding suspect vehicles.
The 30-year cover-up allowed the company to avoid costly mandatory vehicle recalls.
It is now reinspecting more than 600,000 cars, trucks and buses worldwide - causing further damage to its sick bottom-line this year.
The company is also bracing for criminal and administrative penalties and an inevitable consumer backlash as the affair continues to dominate Japanese newspapers.
Industry experts said the reshuffle would duplicate the changes made at Nissan after French company Renault bought into the debt-laden producer last year.
While Nissan executives hold the nominal top positions, the company is effectively run by its chief operating officer, Carlos "Le Cost Killer" Ghosn, a Renault appointee.
Analysts said Daimler would now place its own management "fingerprints" on Mitsubishi, speeding up decision making, killing off unproductive model runs and educating the workforce on the crisis confronting the company.
There are differing views on how this will affect the struggling Australian division, which has been ordered by Tokyo to return to profits this year or face closure.
Some experts believe Stuttgart would take a much harsher line than Tokyo on Adelaide's long-term prospects, with tariffs protecting local producers to be phased out over the next decade and Mitsubishi Australia struggling to find local buyers.
While some new export orders have given Adelaide a psychological boost, they do not count in terms of the Mitsubishi ultimatum.
But Nobuyoshi Yoshida, of the Automotive Business Practice Institute, argues that the Australian car market will be more important for Daimler than Asian-fixated Mitsubishi. "It would be very hard for Daimler to shut down the Australian assembly operation," he said.
Executives from the two companies formally signed off on the tie-up on July 28. The deal commits Daimler to spending 225 billion yen ($A3.69 billion) to obtain a 34 percent stake in Mitsubishi, with that stake to be fixed for 10 years.
Under Japanese corporate law, the 34 percent gives Daimler a veto over Mitsubishi board decisions while preventing the company's massive debt being registered on its books.
It is understood Daimler will approve the elevation of Mitsubishi's vice-president, Takashi Sonobe, to the post of president, with its own man taking the number two position of chief operating officer.

A craft room is a great place to keep hobby items that would otherwise clutter up your family?s living space or home office. Craft rooms tend to be very small though,aion kinah, some no more than the size of a walk in closet,aion gold, so storage becomes a key concern for those hobbies that require lot of accessories and components. The best solution for a tiny craft room is to use RV type of storage.
Like a small craft room, an RV (recreational vehicle) tends to house a lot of items in a very small space. These not only have to be housed,aion kinah, but secured so that everything does not get tossed about or broken when the RV is moving during travel,aion gold. For that reason, RV storage is the ideal solution to tiny craft room storage.
Storage Ideas: Apothecary
The biggest thing that accumulates in a tiny craft room is paraphernalia. Whether you are a scrapbook fanatic, love to sew, create photo collages, or build model cars, it requires a host of items in order to make projects flow smoothly. The biggest challenge in the room is to find a home for the myriad of little parts and pieces that you need in order to have fun with your hobby.
One great answer is an apothecary, which is very similar to a wall of drawers used in a medicine shop to store a lot of medicines and medicine equipment. They can be as shallow or deep as you need them to be, and floor-to-ceiling drawers are stylish and a handy means of storing everything. Labeling the drawers will help you find what you are looking for when you work your hobby, and everything stays neat and organized.
Storage Ideas: Cube Storage
Cube wall shelves are another simple and helpful idea for storing some types of craft materials, such as paper, felt, tape, paint, and similar items. Much like a picture frame, they are cubes that hang directly on the wall with room to insert a few accessories. Size and depth are based on the cube, and varying sizes can create depth in the room while still maintaining style and sophistication.
Similar to an apothecary, a cube storage system offers many different units to hold multiple items securely. However, many cube storage systems are customizable, whereas the apothecary?s cubes are all the same size. With a cube storage system, you can tailor the size of the cube to meet your needs, and some systems come with doors that can be closed on scissors, glue, and dangerous items that should be kept away from children or pets.
Making Every Inch Count
Finally, the best RV storage for a tiny craft room is to make every square inch of storage space count. Build storage drawers or cabinets under your desk. Take a cabinet with a door, such as a medicine cabinet, and appropriate it for craft room use. Hanging baskets are great, but they spill easily and aren?t always the best option for storing small items. Use them for yarn or other material that will not fall out easily and make a mess.

Stopped having periods 7 yrs ago
Patient : I AM 56 YEARS OLD, STOPPED HAVING A PERIOD ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AGO, ABOUT A YEAR AGO FOR A BOUT A WEEK AND A HALF I HAVE HAD BLOOD WHEN I WIPE (LIKE A PERIOD) BUT TODAY I WOKE UP USED THE RESTROOM AND BIG CLOT, WITH IN MIN. I USED THE RESTROOM AGAIN TWO MORE NOT AS BIG BUT NOT SMALL, AGAIN WHEN I GO TO WORK TWO MORE, AND NOW ABOUT TWO HOUR LATER ANOTHER ONE . WHAT COULD THIS BE ?
Symptoms: JUST A LITTLE CRAMPING NOT REALLY ANYTHING
Doctor : Hello, Thanks for the query. As mentioned that you have already achieved menopause seven years back and this is the first time that you are experiencing post-menopausal bleeding in the form of clots since last 2 weeks now. Any form of postmenopausal bleeding is to be investigated to rule out any evidence of local cervical cause of bleeding ( could be a growth or cervical cancer) and a possible uterine cause ( endometrial hyperplasia or uterine cancer). It is suggested that you should report to your physician soon for a complete examination which shall include a per speculum exam with PAP smear, bimanual per vaginal exam, hormonal profile, ultrasound pelvis to check for endometrial thickness and then a endometrial biopsy to rule out uterine cancer. Further treatment would be based on the results. I hope I have answered you query in detail. Wishing you good health. Regards

How did you start? I did a course at Greasepaint Makeup Academy in London before I began assisting. I knew this was the best way to develop and to gain experience in the industry. I was offered the opportunity to work with makeup artists such as Charlotte Tilbury. That is how it all started.
What is your role for Chanel? Chanel has enabled me to discover so many things in so many different ways, both creatively and practically. It's an incredible opportunity. It involves such a broad range of activities. The course of a collection follows in a very particular process. I think about an idea, I research and I work with the studio. The reference for a colour can come from anywhere, the same goes for textures. I'm working on mood boards, discussing ideas. And I'm presenting everything internally and externally, to the press. I also work on all the make-up and beauty campaigns, editorial shooting with Chanel faces, such as Kristen Stewart today.
Who is the Chanel woman to you? Sophisticated, forward thinking, intelligent, powerful — she knows what she wants. She's not a woman to be told what to do or think. It's all about her personality. Not only the way she looks. Coco Chanel is this woman, my first inspiration probably. She was kind of a punk! And think about Catherine Deneuve, Loulou de la Falaise…all of them are "la bellezza canonica" for me.
What are your inspiration sources for this new colour collection for Chanel? The inspiration was born from my obsession with the colour red and what the colour symbolises. I wanted to express this in a very personal way by creating a book of photographs and a video – a sort of scrapbook of things I love and that represent this concept, this is an inward journey. A study of an obsession,
How was your first meeting with Kristen Stewart? We first worked together on a Chanel makeup campaign in LA last August. It was a lot of fun, she is lovely... she takes make-up so well.
What is your beauty philosophy? It's about embracing who you are, to enhance what is there. I want to use makeup to reflect a character, not create a disguise. There is strength in imperfection; there are nuances in someone or something being not too perfect. I really believe in happy accidents and spontaneity in life. It is OK if an eye shadow moves or eyeliner moves.
What should every woman have in her beauty bag? A Chanel Lipstick, of course.
What's your trick to doing make-up in flash? It is about concentrating on the essentials, accentuating your best features and having products that you can use in creative ways, like dabbing off excess colour on your lips with your finger and using it as a cream blush to create a healthy flush on the skin. Do not focus too much on a perfect finish!
What is the worst makeup faux pas? To cover more than it needs to be.
Your favorite make-up for the day? Simple! A mascara and a sweep of lipstick. I finish by dabbing a little bit of the lip colour on my cheeks for a fresh finish. A strong lip colour can feel fresh during the day if the rest has been kept naturally glowing, minimal but groomed.
Your craziest make-up for a party? We need to go back to age 10...

If you're not familiar with Land Rover's lineup, it's always great to start at the bottom and work your way up. It all begins with the 2016 Land Rover Discovery. It's a five plus two passenger compact SUV that balances the brand's off-roading heritage and luxury finely. The Discovery is also the newest nameplate for the brand and it's meant to replace its predecessor the LR2. This refresh shows that the British automakers are looking towards the future and have honed in on a design that prospective customers and fans of the brand can enjoy.
The exterior doesn't draw attention to itself with overtly sharp edges or a flashy front grille. Instead, it opts clean lines that flow from the front that flows up to give the Discovery a well-proportioned look. The Discovery we drove was presented in a Kaikoura Stone grey with black accents throughout. This gave the SUV a more aggressive look, an aesthetic that would certainly appeal to younger new car buyers.
On the road, you'll be pleased by its smooth drive and its quiet cabin. You'll also take comfort in knowing that there are different driving modes that are ready to accommodate to your environment. Under the hood is a 2.0-litre Si4 turbocharged engine that produces 240-horsepower with 240-lbs of torque. This one-to-one ratio delivers a balanced distribution between power and torque helps move the Discovery when it comes to carrying heavier loads. Although, a lag in the turbo was certainly felt and it takes a lighter foot to prevent any accidental burps from happening.
When you get inside the interior of the Discovery, you'll find it to be straight forward and to the point. We appreciate the different textures that have gone into the dashboard, steering wheel, and the shifter knob. It definitely feels premium inside the cabin. The selling point has to be the fixed panoramic room, which gives the Discovery an open air feel, sort of like a loft with high ceilings. Most of the passengers we had inside were disappointed that it couldn't open but we referred them to the Range Rover Evoque Convertible.

Girl with the Long Hair Trailer (1975)
11 December 1975 Comedy, Romance 92 mins
"Girl With Long Hair" shows how universal the look of 1970s softcore pornography was. It is populated by hipsters wearing aviator glasses and cool mustaches running after hot chicks with feathered Farrah Fawcett hairstyles and plastic jewelry. There are shag carpets on the floor and oil paintings on velvet on the walls. The decor uses the brightest colors available, especially international orange, a then ubiquitous shade that is now only seen on emergency equipment such as life jackets. The set designer and costume designer also used a lot of school bus yellow, fire engine red, and other bright, high visibility primary colors.
