After granting WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange political asylum, Ecuador may consider doing the same for embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad and his inner circle, if he asks for it.
Speaking to Brazilian daily Folha de Sao Paulo, Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa said, "Any person who requests asylum in Ecuador, we will consider as a human being whose basic rights we must respect."
"We would analyze such a request with all responsibility," he added.
President Correa confirmed that Syria's Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal al-Miqdad had visited Quito a few weeks ago, but denied reports from Israel's Haaretz newspaper that they had discussed the possibility of granting political asylum to Assad, his family and his associates.
"These talks did not take place," Correa said, noting that al-Miqdad expressed gratitude to Ecuador over its "objective position."
Haaretz reported that al-Miqdad had held meetings in Cuba, Venezuela and Ecuador over the past week, bringing with him classified personal letters from Assad to local leaders.
Ecuador already made world headlines by granting political asylum to famous whistleblower Julian Assange in August. However the WikiLeaks founder remains confined inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London as British authorities say that if he leaves, he will be arrested and extradited to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning in connection with a sexual assault case.
The Syrian president, who has ruled the country since 2000, is facing a civil war with local and foreign opposition forces pushing for him to relinquish power.

The target is the Coordinate Plane video. I used a tool called Popcorn Maker to add comments to it. I don't think this can be embedded, so please click here to go watch.
Before y'all get out your flamethrowers and head to the comments, I'd like to say a few things. I'm neither vitriolic, panicked, nor bitter about Khan Academy. I think it's a great resource and it's an excellent place to see a demonstration of procedures. I send my own students to it during exam review time, and they report that it is helpful.
Where Khan and the Gates Foundation overextend their claims, though, is when they suggest that the Khan Academy can serve as standalone instruction in Mathematics. Enduring learning requires productive struggle and time to noodle out unfamiliar problems, posed by a teacher who knows what you're ready for, and can provide expert scaffolding. Lecture-only instruction focused on mastering procedures is an impoverished substitute for doing Mathematics, and it doesn't matter if that lecture is in person or in a video.
Given that, I do think that the instruction provided in the Khan Academy could be improved with some better planning and basic pedagogical technique. It's already a good resource for some purposes, and I'd love to see it get even better. It's my hope that the key players involve will calm down, cut the drama, and work together to improve the available resources. It's math, people. Not the opera.
I made a video intended to instruct on the coordinate plane. Although I'm certain it could be improved since it hasn't been subjected to editing by anyone but me, I think it's better than the Khan Academy offering. First, it provides motivation for graphing quantities in two dimensions. Second, it asks questions of the viewer at key points, with the idea that the viewer would take a moment to think and respond before continuing. Here you go:

Future Opens Up About Marrying Ciara
Could Ciara and Future tie the knot soon? The 'Honest' rapper recently discussed his relationship status with the songstress and if she's really "the one."
During promo for his sophomore album, 'Honest,' the Atlanta native stopped by Hot 97's Angie Martinez show to discuss various things including,child support, spending money extravagantly and booty calls.
But when it came to Ciara, Future got serious, saying he knew all along he would be with her. Seven years ago, the 'Tony Montana' rhymer spotted the 'Goodies' singer taping a music video and told his brother, "I'ma be with her one day."
Fast forward to January 2013, and the two began dating. Future left his "rockstar lifestyle" behind to settle down with CiCi.
"This it… I don't get into nothing to get out," Future admitted. "We haven't set a date. This the one. I said it before, I said it seven years ago, so for it to come around and happen, it was just meant to be."
Aww! Future and Ciara will have the most epic Atlanta wedding of all time.
'Honest' is due Nov. 26.

Alan1 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 133 diseños de 50 diseñadores freelance.
The web site is IvyPlusJobFair.com
We are running the first online job fair for students at the top universities in the country.
Students from schools such as Harvard, Princeton, and MIT can watch live video of companies describing what they do, learn about available jobs, and ask their job and career questions - all from their computer. Think live streaming video of real company employees (not Second Life avatars).
The IvyPlusJobFair gives students a new way to engage with companies. Rather than trolling through the traditional giant job fair that these schools now provide, Students can interact on their own terms from their dorm room.
This also provides new job opportunities to students because companies without the time or money to visit students on campus can still recruit.
We are reaching out to university students from top U.S. schools (Ivy League and the like). Clearly, they are smart, tech savvy, and young, and the brand should appeal to that. There is also a bit of exclusivity to the brand, since the site is restricted to students at the top schools in the country.
As for brand feel,
Cool web 2.0 (3.0?) feel (like chegg.com) = good
Old school (like newyorker.com), = not good
The most important criteria is that the logo must fit in our web site design. We have some requirements both in terms of size and color palette so that it works with what we have.
Web Logo Requirements:
Size & Placement
- max of 350px wide by 68px height. But this can be smaller if necessary.
- logo will be against a white background, so it might make sense to have a white background around the image. The template for the site will look like - http://www.jobnob.com. The new logo will fit where the Jobnob logo is now.
- colors restricted to blue, orange, green, and gray. Please use the color shades that look like this http://www.jobnob.com/files/jobnob_logo.gif
- you can use 1 or more of these colors but please restrict to these.
- logo can/should also include interesting icon/design element to make it interesting and appealing.
- the logo must include the words "Ivy Plus Job Fair".
- The words can be pushed together "IvyPlusJobFair" or separated.
- You can also use one color for all text or different colors (e.g. "IvyPlus" in green, "JobFair" in blue) but of course it should look good and not obnoxious.
We will also need a hi resolution version for print.

More personal impressions, this time from outdoor lights in Stockholm (my own photos).
Ceramic Metal Halide
In Stockholm, the inefficient cool-white High-Pressure Mercury Vapour (HPMV) street lights have now been replaced by warm-white Ceramic Metal Halide (CMH) with electronic ballasts. This incandescent-looking light has nice brightness and better colour rendition than previous lamp types, showing the environment in a more flattering light than the spooky blue-white or green-white of HPM, or shades of orange from High-Pressure Sodium (HPS).
In my opinion, this makes Stockholm once again a very beautiful city, while it also saves energy as these are much more effective. Before the light was cold and harsh, now it is warm and soft, almost romantic.
In this view, the only light detracting from the overall romantic impression is the extremely bright cool-white Metal Halide floodlight stuck temporarily on the construction crane (I thought its reflection in the water made an interesting comparison). Also note the decorative string of incandescent bulbs on the restaurant-ship in the centre:
Here, one can clearly see the difference between the warm-white CMH lamps to the left, and the somewhat dysmal cool-white Mercury Vapour lamps to the right (in real life, the light from the latter seemed not quite as green, but cooler than cool-white and not attractive):
High-Pressure Sodium
I'm glad to see the most of the horrid monochromatic (orange-yellow) Low-Pressure Sodium (LPS) lamps on highways having been replaced by the more peach-coloured High Pressure Sodium (HPS) with better, though far from optimal, colour rendition. Ceramic Metal Halide (CMH) would look nice on highways too but that is not practical as they don't last as long as HPS lamps. Here, on Söder Mälarstrand, Stockholm, the difference between the band of orange-yellow HPS street lights to the right, and the clear warm-white CMH lamps at the bottom, is clearly visible (though this picture is not the best; in reality the first is more orange and the latter more clear-white):
One place I really like HPS is in road tunnels, where they add some warmth to the often cold dark concrete – if the lamps are placed along the tunnel walls and not at a glaring angle.
Improved High Pressure Sodium
The beautification of the Stockholm lightscape began in the 1990s, when some of the oldest parts of Stockholm, such as Old Town and parts of Södermalm, received old style wall lanterns, lit by improved quality High Pressure Sodium 'White SON'. These frosted bulbs are still in use and give a very beautiful light as they have a special diffusing layer which makes the light visibly radiate, and their warm glow is reminiscent of incandescent or even gas lights, but brighter and more efficient – a good compromise between romantic and functional.
However, these White SON are not as efficient and as other HPS lamps (quality and quantity are usually trade-offs) so EU wants to ban them, which is stupid on so many levels as they are still much more effective and long lasting than traditional incandescent lamps that would be used in such luminaires and are only used in a few select places meant mainly for pedestrians, tourists and people in love.

(2011; 109 pages)
The aim of this manual is to provide guidance for the procurement of quality-assured malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) that reliably give accurate results. It is based on the results of WHO product testing of malaria RDTs and on WHO-recommended criteria for procuring RDTs. The guidance provided is general and should be adapted to the local context.
The target audience for this manual includes procurement officers, malaria programme managers, health officers and supply chain managers responsible for selecting, procuring or assisting in the procurement of RDTs for malaria in the public and private sectors.
The manual summarizes information from publications on the quality of malaria RDTs that is readily accessible only by specialized procurement agencies. Its aim is to improve understanding of the following aspects of procurement:
- performance components and selection criteria,
- estimating quantity requirements and budgeting,
- defining technical specifications,
- managing tenders, adjudications and contracts,
- quality control through lot testing,
- supply management and product recalls, and
- monitoring supplier performance and managing product variations.
This manual covers activities in the procurement cycle up to the receipt of goods at the port of entry. It does not cover in-country storage, transport or distribution, as these are covered in other manuals. It describes good procurement practice in a non-prescriptive manner, providing checklists and covering technical issues...
(Microscopy and RDT s are both adequate to diagnose malaria in febrile patients. Demonstration of the presence of malaria parasites is advised before treatment with antimalarial medicines, as diagnosis based solely on clinical symptoms is of poor accuracy and leads to overdiagnosis of malaria, waste of antimalarial medicines, an increased frequency of adverse side-effects and increased drug pressure on resistant parasites. Early exclusion of malaria can enhance early diagnosis and appropriate management of other, potentially severe causes of fever. Parasitological diagnosis improves malaria case detection and surveillance systems.)

The offense was led by Ed Sparks who went 2-3 with two RBIs. Danny Pugh went 1-4 with three RBIs and two runs scored. The Bucs scored five runs in the third and four in the fourth to complete their scoring.
In the series finale, ETSU rallied for four runs in the top of the ninth to take a 9-8 lead but allowed two ninth-inning runs and lost 10-9. Ed Sparks and Jeremy Terry both drove in two runs. Sparks stroked three hits including the Bucs' first home run of the season. Reid Casey suffered the loss, pitching the final 1.2 innings. Raymond McBride started the game, allowing five runs in 3.1 innings.

Dflewis74 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 203 diseños de 39 diseñadores freelance.
TXTin Mobile Marketing
TXTin Mobile Marketing was developed to help small and medium sized businesses take advantage of technology previously only available to the largest U.S. corporations.
The founders of TXTin watched as American Idol, Fortune 500 companies, and professional sports franchises brought text message marketing to the mainstream, and immediately realized the mass potential in text message marketing for local, small businesses.
Until now, however, the expense of text message advertising for small and medium sized businesses has been cost prohibitive.
TXTin found the solution to these high costs in "shared short codes" and we're using our system to level the playing field for local businesses.
Rather than own your own share code and deal with the headaches and hassles involved (which can be a job in itself), you get all the exact same benefits as the pro sports teams and Fortune 500 companies (without the cost) by sharing our short code.
Visit http://www.TXTin.com
Our primary audience is small, medium business owners that want reach their customer base instantly with a mobile ad campaign. This service has broad appeal, however here is a partial list of who our target audience is:
Bars and Restaurants...
• Send daily specials - lunch, happy hour, early bird, and more.
• Bars/Night Clubs can send schedule of featured entertainers.
• Send promotional offers - 2-for-1, free stuff, etc. Generate traffic.
Professionals, Artists, Bands...
• Artists can publish upcoming shows and gallery events.
• Real estate agents can broadcast a "new listings" alert.
• Bands can send "gig" alerts and reminders to their fan base.
• Professional speakers can provide info about featured events.
Retail Businesses...
• Provide basic business info: locations, store hours, website.
• Send a text-based mobile coupon that offers attractive discounts.
• Announce current and future sales promotions.
Institutions & Organizations...
• Churches and ministries can send reminders of their services.
• Schools can broadcast lunch menus to parents and students.
• Organizations can broadcast special messages to members.
Website Owners...
• Use our service to broadcast new product info to customers.
• Create "limited-time" sales blitz and send alerts via text.
• Send sales invitations and reminders to subscribed customers.
Our current logo for TXTin is somewhat dated and is showing it's age in the modern smartphone era. Our brand logo has served us well, and now we are ready for a modern upgrade that is "reflective" of the instantly connected world that now we live in.
Although we love how the red and black scheme of our logo stands out, we are open to seeing an alternative color design or background. We are firm believers that a mobile device in the logo is key to our identity, so that should not change. However the current phone desperately needs to be traded for a sleek modern touch screen phone.
Other than the above, there are no firm guidelines, so show us what you can do and let us see where your imagination takes you.
Thank you 99Designers and Good Luck!

But you could forgive the hard rock music legend for welling up at BC Place Stadium this Sunday, when the Vancouver Canucks will don Vancouver Millionaires jerseys for the Heritage Classic.
Back in 1999, the passionate sports fan decided to resurrect the logo for the Millionaires, an all-but-forgotten team that won Vancouver's only Stanley Cup in 1915.
He trademarked the Millionaires distinctive logo, which spells out "Vancouver" inside a big V. Then he produced a stylish new line of hats, T-shirts and jerseys, and hit the street.
"I pounded the pavement up and down Robson Street," he recounts.
"But nobody wanted Vancouver Millionaires (merchandise), nobody had even heard of the Vancouver Millionaires. But we kept pushing and pushing, and finally stores started picking it up."
The turning point came when the Vancouver Giants wore the Millionaires jerseys for a game in 2008. The masses rediscovered the Millionaires, and you started to see the logo pop up everywhere. Wayne Gretzky was spotted wearing a Millionaires jacket during the 2010 Olympics.
As an independent operator, though, Thor decided he'd taken the Millionaires brand as far as he could. So he sold the logo to the Canucks.
"They could tell the rest of the story, in a big way, like the Heritage Classic, which takes millions and millions of dollars to put on," he said.
"I wasn't going to be able to do that. I went as far as I could go with it, and it was time for the Canucks to take over. And they're doing a wonderful job."
But the East Van resident didn't get out of the hockey memorabilia business. In partnership with Firstar Sports, Thor put together a new line of vintage hats from obscure but legendary teams like the Montreal Winged Wheelers (the first team to win the Stanley Cup in 1893), the Winnipeg Victorias (the first western Canadian Cup winners in 1901), and the Seattle Metropolitans (the first American team to win the Stanley Cup in 1918).
Now he's expanded into jerseys. Tuesday at the BC Sports Hall of Fame, Thor showed off a collection of colourful new-old sweaters for teams like the 1912 Vancouver Terminals, 1913 Victoria Aristocrats, 1926 Detroit Cougars, 1930 Chicago Shamrocks, 1931 Boston Olympics, 1972 Minnesota Fighting Saints and 1973 Vancouver Blazers.
Each comes with a story. The Terminals was the name of a lacrosse team that featured many Millionaires, including Newsy Lalonde. The Millionaires were often referred to as The Terminals in the press (Vancouver was the terminal of the Canadian Pacific Railway, hence the name).
The 1912 jersey is maroon with white stripes on the arms and a big V logo that looks like two crossed dog bones. And it bears an uncanny resemblance to the 1912 Millionaires sweater.
"They would use the same jerseys," Thor notes with a laugh. "Hey guys, hockey season is over, use our jerseys for lacrosse."
The most striking jersey might be the Chicago Shamrocks, which is white with an emerald green three-leaf clover logo beneath "Chicago." There are four green stripes on the arms.
The Shamrocks were in the American Hockey Association, a would-be rival to the National Hockey League. In 1933 they combined with the remnants of the Victoria Cougars from the Pacific Coast Hockey League to become the Detroit Red Wings.
"It happened like this," explains Thor, who is a walking encyclopedia of vintage hockey facts.
"It was the Victoria Cougars, (which moved to Detroit to become) the Detroit Cougars, which became the Detroit Falcons.
"The Detroit Falcons go bankrupt. When the Detroit Falcons go bankrupt, (Shamrocks owner James Norris) moves the Shamrocks to Detroit to become the Detroit Red Wings."
The Victoria Cougars were the last B.C. team to win the Stanley Cup, in 1925. They started off as the Senators in 1912, then became the Aristocrats in 1913. The Aristocrats jersey is a beautiful royal blue, with an angled red stripe across the midriff that reads "Victoria" in white letters.
The Boston Olympics were a championship amateur team that sent several players to represent the United States at the 1932 Winter Olympics. They had a great logo, a big blue "O" flanked by red wings, with Boston written over top. The sweater is white, with red and blue stripes.
Asked if it somewhat dangerous to be selling a Boston jersey in Vancouver, Firstar's Doug Sheridan laughed.
"You can wear vintage, because you're not aligned to a current team," he said. "The thing I'm worried about with Boston is that (the Olympics had) New York Rangers colours."
The jerseys will be about $80, and initially will be sold online at firstarsports.com and in some big stores in the U.S. Hats are $30. Ten per cent of the profits from the line will go to the Vancouver Canucks alumni, and Canuck greats Kirk McLean and Dennis Kearns were on hand for the announcement.
McLean thinks the repro jerseys are "spectacular."
"I love seeing the vintage stuff," he said. "It's amazing the way they can turn these vintage looks into kind of a modern-day look."

Hard work deserves a fair wage, but we often undersell ourselves just to book commissions. It's a tough market and unfortunately, when 'everyone's doing it' you have to undersell to compete. The art world shouldn't be like Walmart, commission art isn't just cranked out carelessly, there is no assembly line for making comics. Even when an artist seems to effortlessly dash off a doodle, there's more there than meets the eye. You often don't see the hours spent learning how to draw, applying to schools, and honing craft. You don't see the frustration at failed drawings, the desperation at being unable to make rent, or the pages of thumbnails that come before a finished page. It's our job to make it seem like magic, and magic isn't free.
|I did a little number crunching to determine exactly what goes into every commission I complete, and I've come up with these numbers:
|Using this as a basis for comparison
25$ marker render= at least 5 (often many more) hours of work
1+ hour for the sketch(es)
|First some loose studies to get a feel for the person I'm drawing.
|Then a couple roughs, which I emailed to Delightfully Tacky so she could pick her favorite.
30 minutes to scan and tweak those sketches
Wait around to get the OK from the person commissioning the piece
30 minutes to tighten the pencils
1+ hour to ink
2+ hours to render
30 minutes to scan/tweak
Send it off to the commissioner
20 minutes to drive to the Post Office (I live out in the sticks)
At this rate, if materials and shipping were free, I wouldn't even make $5 an hour. That's not even breaking minimum wage, and I'm not constantly cranking out commissions either. Now let's figure out the cost of supplies.
Each Copic marker is about $6. I have around 75 at this point. I will use around 30 individual markers per piece, but I don't have to refill them very often.
I've only had to replace one nib so far, and I've only had to buy refill ink for my colorless blender. Refill ink is about the cost of a marker, but it can fill a color several times.
I use plate Bristol board for marker renders (11"x17", Strathmore's 500 grade), which is around $25 for 21 sheets. For watercolor, I use watercolor paper, which is slightly smaller and costs more. I tried to switch to Vellum Bristol (because it'd be larger and slightly cheaper), but it doesnt want to take the water and I can't control it as well.
Right now I ink pieces with Copic Multiliners and a Kuretake Brush Pen. Each Multiliner is a one time investment of $8, and I have sizes .03-.8. Each replacement ink cartridge is $4, and nibs are 2 for 2$. The Kuretake brush pen (which is nicer than the Pentel Pocket Brush I used before) was $21, and I haven't had to purchase any new refills yet.
For sketches, I use both bluelead and regular 3B graphite. The blueleads run $2 a pack, and I usually buy 10 packs at a time to save on shipping. Each pack has ten leads.
My UNO and SCAD education have both helped me become the artist I am today (and continue to improve), and each class is 3,000$. I take two classes a semester, and there are four semesters in a school year. I don't want to think about that math right now. I usually spend an hour of my time each night studying/practicing and 2 hours doing classwork.
Please keep in mind that time I spend doing a commission is time spent not doing classwork, housework, or studying.
The $25 for a marker render is an introductory price, to get my product on the market and to generate a portfolio. For right now, I want my services to be affordable and accessible. I love what I do, but it's supposed to be my livelihood, and I need to eat just like you do. When artists charge something like 10$ for a marker commission, they're really devaluing the market, and making it hard for the rest of us to sell our more expensive work. Even 25$ is on the cheap side, but right now it's better for me to make 25$ here and there then never make 40$.
Right now, I'm willing to accept some trade and payment in the form of exposure, but only if it's the sort of exposure that'll lead to 2+ paying customers in the next week (it doesn't have to be marker, $5 sketches go towards paying bills too). If your readers aren't interested in the sort of artwork I produce, it probably isn't worth it for me to accept trade in the form of exposure. Right now I run no ads and have no sponsors, so everything is out of pocket.
Not only is my time spent when I do a commission, but I don't even keep the original. I pay to have it mailed to you, package rate. You own the original. I only retain digital rights for self promotion.
I tend to solicite trades/offer pro bono illustration to bloggers who have a large fanbase that's primarily in my demographic (20-29 year olds, right now. I want to do kids books and comics, so I'd love it if it expanded to 10-29 year olds). Many of their readers would have some disposable income, and they tend to like 'cute things'. These bloggers are transparent about their stats and have no sponsors that compete with what I do. I intend to work with these people long term. I contact them via the provided email, and send them work updates via Twitter, both for their approval and for self promotion. I prefer not to be contacted via Facebook, since there is personal information on there that I'd rather not be accessiable to the internet at large.
I find these sorts of trades acceptable (keep in mind, if I approach you, this isnt applicable):
Custom clothing/accessories/jewelry (the person requesting the trade has to make these. I want to support other artists as much as possible)
Exposure, but ONLY if you average about 2,000 pageviews daily. Art blogs don't usually get a lot of views, and I'm trying to change that for mine. The more eyes see my work, the better my chances of getting paid.
Adspace, but ONLY if the above is true.
Convention table space
I love working for:
People who want pet portraits/pets included in their commission (or animals in general)
Fashion bloggers (I love pretty clothes!)
LP (Let's Play) artwork
Other artists (especially if its to draw their characters, or reimagine their characters. I don't ever think my way is the right way, but I love seeing other people draw my characters too)
Gaming Blogs
Comic review blogs
Humor Blogs
Presents/card designs
Concept art/character designs
Avatars/user icons
I won't do:
Porn (I plan on doing kids books one day, and I don't want that kind of record to bite me in the butt eventually)
Yaoi/yuri (but nonexplicit couples are ok. Let's face it, I just don't want to draw any kind of porn.)
Furry (Anthro art is iffy though. If you have an adorable, non sexual character, I'll probably consider it)
Design work (your money is better spent elsewhere)
Animation (for the same reason)
As always, I reserve the right to say no, and I may recommend a friend who is better suited at providing what the customer wants. I can't guarantee their rates, however.
And you can always commission a tutorial! Commissioning one means I will definitely do it, and soon, whereas if you just request it, it may or may not happen.

Do you rent and need to file an insurance claim? Do you know how?
There was a time when it was less common, but most of today's standard lease agreements require the tenant to carry Renters Insurance. This isn't designed to only protect the landlord and their property – it's also a very smart thing for the tenant to do.
If you rent, you've likely put some investment into your furniture, clothing and furnishings. Not to mention all of your electronic devices, jewelry and other valuables. Assuming you rent and you already have Renters Insurance, do you know what to do should something unfortunate happen?
First, let's explore some ways to be prepared for a claim:
Once you get all moved in, the boxes are gone, and you've cleaned your new rental property – start taking photos of every room and all of your valuables. This is called performing a Home Inventory and it will come in very handy when/if you should have to file a renters claim. Your claim specialist will appreciate your preparedness because it means he/she will be able to more quickly adjust your claim
Also, be sure to keep important records (receipts, photos, registrations, etc.) in a safe or fireproof container. Your claims specialist will determine values based on current Actual Cash Value or Replacement Cost information.
Uh-oh. You have to file a renters claim. What should you do?
Talk to your insurance agent to discuss a potential claim if:
- You lost items in your rental property due to a burglary or break-in
- An item was stolen from your car
- You had a fire
- Water damage
- Injury to a guest
What steps should you immediately take?
- Report damages or losses to your landlord
- Report any theft to police
- Retain receipts for temporary repairs, additional living expenses, and other claim-related costs
- Review your policy, including coverages, limitations, and deductibles related to personal property
- Use your insurance company's mobile application, such as the State Farm® mobile app, to initiate the claim filing
What type of repairs should I do while I wait?
- Talk to your insurance agent before performing any repairs
- Read your lease to determine what repairs you or your landlord might be responsible for
- And remember, retain any receipts associated with the repairs
What does the insurance company do with your claim?
- Review claims details, possibly through a renters insurance claims investigation
- Might request an inventory of property damage
- Ask for item documentation and/or details about the lost items including receipts, photos, brand names, model numbers, age, purchase price, place of purchase
- Assess damage
- Explain your coverages and endorsements
- Work with your claims associate to estimate repairs (your contractor can also give an estimate)
- Review estimate and authorize repairs or provide payment to you
- If another individual is responsible for the damage, your insurance company may pursue Subrogation – this is the process where your insurance company attempts to collect the money it paid to you from the responsible party.
If you are State Farm® customer and need to file a renter's insurance claim, please visit statefarm.com/claims to file or manage your claim.

Lake Forest, IL (PRWEB) December 08, 2012
1-800-GO-VAPOR.com, a leading U.S. marketer of vapor steam cleaners with customers in every state in the nation and seven foreign countries, today announced that it intends to actively market the Ladybug Tekno 2350 steam cleaner to veterinary hospitals.
"Disinfectants are used everyday by animal health care staff to kill bacteria, viruses and fungi on surfaces found within their clinics," says V.K. Dunlop of1-800-GO-VAPOR.com. "While these products are necessary, not all are as effective as you might think."
Using ordinary tap water, the Ladybug Tekno 2350 with Ladybug's proprietary patented Thermo Accelerated Nano Crystal Sanitation (TANCS®) technology is scientifically proven to produce better results than traditional disinfectants, qualifying the Tekno as a disinfection device for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA Est. No. 82121-WA-01) and making it more suitable than traditional hard-surface disinfectants for many healthcare settings such as animal hospitals.
"Many traditional disinfectants are highly toxic and contain potentially cancer-causing chemicals that threaten the health of animal clinic staff," says Dunlop. "The simplified water-only protocol of the Tekno 2350 cleans, disinfects and deodorizes almost any surface without chemicals."
Scientific testing has shown that TANCS®-equipped steam cleaners are a safe and cost-effective way to kill canine parvovirus.
Commonly called parvo, canine parvovirus is a contagious virus affecting dogs caused by the canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) virus. Parvo attacks rapidly reproducing cells, like those lining the gastrointestinal tract. The disease is spread from dog to dog by oral contact with infected feces. It can be especially severe in puppies. In untreated dogs, the mortality rate can exceed 90 percent.
"Parvo is the most common infectious disease affecting dogs in America," says Dunlop. "TANCS®-equipped steam cleaners offer a proven and effective method for killing parvo without the toxic side effects of chemicals."
Recent testing conducted by Microbiotest and Nelson Laboratories demonstrated that a 7-second application of TANCS® resulted in a 5-7 log reduction of canine parvovirus.
Located in Lake Forest, Illinois, 1-800-GO-VAPOR.com is moving fast to educate consumers and businesses that finally, there's a feasible, environmentally friendly alternative to chemicals. The company markets Ladybug, Reliable and Vapamore steam cleaners. For more information, call 1-800-468-2767. 1-800-GO-VAPOR.com is a proud member of the Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families coalition, a nationwide effort to protect families from toxic chemicals. To stay safe and avoid toxic chemicals, keep abreast of the latest news with 1-800-GO-VAPOR.com's Twitter account, @1800GOVAPOR.

For purist photographers, there is no alternative to the optical viewfinder. Current LED screens are, by comparison, like looking though the bottom of a bottle. But could this tiny, high-res display change that?
This new MicroOLED display, originally developed with military and medical heads-up displays in mind, can deliver a fairly impressive 5.4 megapixel (2560 x 2048) monochrome image on its 0.61-inch diagonal screen.
Obviously the resolution drops if you want more than monochrome, to just 1.3 megapixels in full 16-million color. Either way, that's pretty impressive pixel density, and that fact that it only draws 0.2 watts means it's well suited portable devices.
Can it replace the optical view finder? In honesty, most professional photographers won't be convinced to switch. But as this kind of display improves, expect to see a new generation of cameras and photographers who don't need optical view finders any more. [MicroOLED via Engadget]

New Cadillac ELR electrifies in its debut at NAIAS
New gas-electric hybrid blends dramatic design, Industry-leading extended range technology
DETROIT – Cadillac unveiled Tuesday the 2014 ELR at the North American International Auto Show. The sleek luxury coupe is a gas-electric hybrid that leverages the Chevrolet Volt's successful extended range all-electric powertrain.
Using only the energy stored in the battery, the ELR will deliver a GM-estimated range of about 35 miles of pure electric driving, depending on terrain, driving techniques and temperature. This means most daily commutes will require zero gasoline with zero emissions.
Charging the ELR's battery can be done with a 120V electrical outlet or a dedicated 240V charging station. Once the vehicle is plugged in, owners can schedule either immediate or delayed charges, even coordinating charging according to departure time or when electricity rates are lower.
Because the ELR operates so quietly in all-electric mode, a driver-activated feature sounds a noise to alert pedestrians, particularly those with visual impairments, in an intersection. The alert was developed in conjunction with the American Federation of the Blind.
The Cadillac ELR has an aggressive, forward-leaning profile that introduces a new design evolution that will be carried over into future Cadillacs. ELR production begins in the United States in late 2013 with sales starting in early 2014 in North America and expanding to global markets including China and Europe.

Bros reunion tour plan revealed
Bros could become the latest boy band to reform and go on tour, singer Matt Goss has revealed.
Goss, together with twin brother Luke, on drums, and bassist Craig Logan, enjoyed huge success in the late 1980s with hits including I Owe You Nothing.
"If we can make the numbers work and the venues work, then we're all up for it," said Goss, now 39.
He was speaking at the film premiere of his twin brother's latest film Hellboy II: The Golden Army.
"Being in a band is like being a politician, you've got to make sure everyone is happy," Goss said.
"But Luke, Craig and definitely myself – we're all up for it."
Bros had 11 hit singles, including When Will I Be Famous? and Cat Among Pigeons, and three top 20 albums in the UK.
"I had the best time," he said.
"I think everyone that went to see Bros gigs had the best time and that's the one reason we all agreed it'd be a good laugh if we did it."
He said he thought the band would still have the support of the original "Brosettes".
"They're still pretty insane," he added.
"They weren't too cool for the room – they knew how to have a good time. That's the way I feel."
Logan, who went on to become managing director of Sony BMG-owned RCA Records, left the band in 1989.
Bros came to an end in 1992.
Matt Goss is still recording music as a solo artist while Luke Goss has acted in a number of stage shows and US films.

What are the requirements for the USDA program in Mount Vernon? So that's going to be looking at a 640 minimum credit score requirement.
There is a income requirement too when applying for a USDA Loan Mount Vernon.
So basically the income requirement is about 78,000 if you're in a family of 1 to 4 if you're in a family of 5+ that's gonna go up to about $103,000 on the income limit.
The big requirement for USDA is that it's property specific.
It's got to be in a USDA Approved Zone. How much down payment does this program require?
It's actually 0% down payment which is Great!
Ok Awesome, and how much does the average home buyer come in with out-of-pocket?
So because your down payment for a USDA Loan in Mount Vernon is covered you're just gonna have to come in with again your prepaid and closing cost So if it was a $300,000 purchase.
you'd be looking at about $7,500 cash for keys to get in the home.
What type of home buyer is the USDA Loan program Ideal for? So this is going to be ideal for the home buyer that's looking for a property in those specific areas.
Ideally it's properties that are going to be USDA Eligible rural zones.
So not right in the middle of the city, but maybe if it's more on the outskirts, on a little bit of land, lower tax rate areas that's probably going to be a property that's eligible and that would be ideal because that one would probably qualify OK, Fantastic.
What is a USDA Home Loan?
I bet you're wondering, what is a USDA home loan?
Designed with the residents of more rural areas in mind, the United States Department of Agriculture designed its loan program to enrich rural communities by providing affordable home loan options to low-income households that may not be able to secure home financing through other means.
Who has time to stop and smell the roses? You don't, and this isn't even a rose.
What are the requirements for the USDA program?
So USDA has a few interesting requirements First of all, you'll need to have at least a 580 credit score Some lenders require a 620 credit score.
Your household income has to be under the county maximum Like a lot of down payment assistance programs. This is based on family size So 1 to 4 is one category and then 5 and above is a higher threshold for qualifying
What's unique about this one is the home has to be within a designated area.
So, Typically what that means is.
NOT within a metropolitan area So within our area here (Riverside county) Our local cities around her don't qualify But we only need to go 10 miles away to where there's an open area where there's Several homes that qualify.
USDA stands for United States Dept of Agriculture But it's NOT a farm loan.
Specifically, they don't finance this program for farms in Mount Vernon.
It has to be a Single Family home in the Mount Vernon area, without a barn structure on the property.
Then it also has some home price limitations.
The Threshold is a little bit lower than say an FHA loan for the loan limits.
Ok, and how does this program differ from other Down payment programs?
So it's different because it's not really a down payment program but it allows financing up to a 100% of the purchase price And it's interesting because you can actually use this program with 1 or 2 of the other programs.
If you need closing cost assistance But, what's unique it's a 100% Financing so you don't need a 2nd or a 3rd lien on the property.
Your interest rates are typically lower than if you combine it with a down payment assistance programs and you don't have to repay any down payment assistance.
It has a monthly factor It's like mortgage insurance upfront It's financed at a monthly component.
Much less than FHA So if you can qualify for this program It's better than FHA And As I mentioned, rates and payments Are typically lower on this program So USDA is really a great program.
And on average How much does the home buyer have to come in with out-of-pocket?
So Again, we are financing the whole loan Purchase price up to 100% So the only thing remaining is then the closing costs Typically, plan on around 3% of the purchase price for funds to close.
The question there then becomes, Well, Where does that come from? Typically, we ask the seller to cover those costs And if we can get the seller to cover 3% Then, the buyer may only need to come in with an earnest money deposit.
And they may even get most or all of that back.
If the seller is covering all the fees.
One unique feature about USDA Versus all other loans is that if the home appraises for more than the purchase price.
We can finance the closing costs up to that appraised amount So, no other loan I know that we can actually finance the closing costs.
What type of home buyer is this program ideal for?
So certainly those that don't have access to money for a down payment Anyone that wants to live that doesn't have to live within a metropolitan area because, again, the house has to be in an area that is not in a high densely populated area.
It's also suited well for people who have some credit issues and anybody that qualifies for this program would definitely be better served than going FHA so those type of people.
And besides the Area restrictions are their any other property restrictions? So property restrictions are going to be similar to FHA They'll do manufactured homes.
They'll do homes with Casitas So no real other restrictions.
Just if it conforms to the FHA guides then it should qualify for USDA There's a couple little quirky things that you don't run into very often like you can't actually have a barn on the property It definitely can't be for agricultural purposes It has to be for residential purposes.
USDA Loans in Mount Vernon – Do You Pre-Qualify?
- Hey guys, Austin Schneider here, and today we're gonna gothrough the pros and cons of a USDA loan.
(jazzy music) Pro number one is that there is an option for no down payments.
Con number one is that there's some geographical restrictions.
Because this program is meant to support purchasing a home in rural areas, there are geographical restrictions that could cause quite a long commute if you are working in the city.
Pro number two, there's someflexible credit guidelines.
There's the 640 minimum, andif you do have a few dings, you're probably gonna still be okay.
Con number two is thatthere's some income limits.
You do have to meet income limits that are based off of the median income in the area you're living in.
Pro number three isthat the interest rates are typically lower than yourstandard conventional loan.
Con number three is that you can't get out of the mortgage insurance.
While it is a little bitlower with the USDA loan, it's still gonna addto your overall costs.
Thanks so much for watching.
For more on USDA loans,for the pros and cons, check out our blog atTheMortgageReports.
Thanks so much for watching,we'll see you on the next one.
Sierra Lending helps ITIN borrowers get a home mortgage
- [Interviewer] In money,hard money lending, there's almost no lender thatdoes a consumer-purpose loan, or will consider an owner-occupiedconsumer-purpose loan.
How's it possible forPacific Private Money to do these types of loans,where other people can't? - Well, it's funny becausewe hear all the time, oh it's illegal to do a private money loan or a hard money loan, on anowner-occupied residence, and that's simply not true.
The regulations allow it,it's just you have to follow very specific underwriting guidelines.
First of all, you haveto be licensed to do it.
And a lot of people in theprivate lending business, are not willing to go outand get the NMLS license.
They're not willing to becomea mortgage loan originator.
So the extra licensing, itcosts money and it takes time.
You also need to have theunderwriting guidelines, which we paid our law firm alot of money to help us create those underwriting guidelinesso we could be in compliance.
And, so, at the end of theday we need to make sure that they have the ability toafford those monthly payments.
There's also certain otherrules and regulations, for example.
Instead of a 10 day due date,it's a 15 day grace-period, late charges are less, you're not allowed tohave default interest.
So there's a number ofconsumer protections in there, but we really like the loan product, because there's a need for it, there's a demand for it, it helps people to purchasehomes when they couldn't otherwise or to borrow moneyto improve their home when they couldn't otherwise do that.
So it's not illegal, it'sjust you have to do it within the guidelines of the law.
- You have to know the law, yeah.
- [Interviewer] So it soundslike most private hard-money lenders just don't have theinterest or the infrastructure-- - Maybe the resources, - [Interviewer] Or theappetite for doing-- - Yeah, it's more expensive.
You have to scale up.
You have to hire peoplewho know how to underwrite, and produce theconsumer-driven disclosures, you have to have the software.
So between the licensing, the staffing, the paying for the education and the underwriting guidelines, and producing, and the time involved.
It's just, it's more overhead, of course, to do these things, but we just, we like the business model.
We think there's a strong need for it.
It's an underserved market, and we like underserved markets.

- While Athens and Thessaloniki are tourist hot-spots, plan your visit in early spring (March) and you'll have the cities for yourself. No lines at sights, no hot weather and excellent prices.
- But summer has a different appeal in Greece as the islands are teaming with life. You can avoid the crowds by visiting "secret" places such a Evia, Kalymnos, Kea or Spetses.
- The weekends in Athens should start with a walk among the stalls in the Flea Market. Pick up anything from fridge magnets to jewelry and clothes.
- If you visit Crete, spend some time exploring the ruins of the Minoan town of Gournia. Malia Palace, also on Crete, is a Minoan palace which is generally overlooked by travelers.
- Put on your walking shoes. Many islands offer excellent hiking trails , ranging from easy 20 min walks to harder several days treks.
Why you should add Greece to your RTW travel listOf course visiting Greece wouldn't be complete without seeing some of the sights the country is famous for. Here are some ideas on what to do if you've never been there or plan on staying for a while.
- Learn history and visit the Archeological Park of Athens which includes the Acropolis, the Roman Agora and the Greek Agora, among other sites.
- Watch a sunrise or sunset in Santorini.
- Spend a day doing nothing on a beach.
- Visit the Palace of Knossos in Crete.
- Visit the Old Town of Rhodes with its amazing Medieval castle.
- Visit the Old Town of Corfu.
- Be amazed by the "suspended monasteries" in Meteora.
- Take photos in Little Venice on Mykonos.
- Dance the night way in a club or on a beach in Mykonos.
- Take the ferry between the Greek islands.
- Try the amazing Greek food: tzatziki, dolmades, Greek salad, sea-food.
Why you should not add Greece to your RTW travel list
- Visiting Greece in the summer is expensive if you plan to stick to the very popular destinations. Add Santorini, Mykonos and Crete to your itinerary and you will spend a lot of money. The alternative is to try during spring or autumn. Better yet, plan to visit one or two very popular places and also choose off-the-beaten-path locations to add to your trip.
- Temperatures are high during summer, especially on the mainland. That's why Athens and Thessaloniki almost look deserted in July and August. Everyone heads to the islands.

Louisa May Alcott is reported to have said, �November is the most disagreeable month in the whole year.�
When gardeners look at the dying of the vegetable and flower gardens and the heaps of fallen tree leaves that must be raked (again), we might be inclined to agree with her.
Yet, our outlook should not be all bleak. We have three major holidays in the offing to brighten our days � Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day. The winter solstice, when the shortest day of the year occurs on Dec. 21, is only one day away from seeing day length begin to lengthen.
Those leaves that may lie heavily on our lawns and on our minds are a bounty. Rich in recyclable organic matter and nutrients, the leaves are an invaluable source of food for the soil�s essential micro-organisms. The sooner this new �shipment� of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and other growth-enhancing substances are relocated, the quicker will the fallen leaves be recycled into the flowers and fruit of 2013.
Thanksgiving, only four days away, provides proof positive of the harvest of your labors of the past season. How much of what you will enjoy of your feast came from your garden, from your efforts, from your planning?
Thanksgiving Day can be used not only to celebrate ties of family and friends, but also to plan ways that your next garden will include more of your own-grown produce.
The garden catalogs have begun to appear, precursors to the host that will soon be arriving. While it is true that the pictures and promises that they contain are one-sided, the fact to be gleamed from garden catalogs is that many contain, in easily digestible form, a wealth of practical information.
Before me is the 2013 catalog from Stokes Seeds Inc. (PO 548, Buffalo, NY, 14240-0548, www.StokeSeeds.com, (800) 396.9238). Stokes is an honored Canadian seed house with an enviable record extending for more than 130 years. While they maintain a presence in the U.S. to make payment and shipping easier for us, their offices and trial gardens are located in Ontario.
Their catalog, rightfully called �a garden guide,� is directed, but not limited, to market gardeners. For you, this simply means that their descriptions are realistic portrayals of the strengths and limitations of the seed types offered.
Unlike too many seed and plant catalogs that paint unrealistic promises of their offerings, Stokes has gained and maintained its reputation by avoiding hyperbole.
Use its catalog (and selected others to be mentioned in future months) as a helpful guide to assist you in planning your efforts. Bear in mind that time spent in planning is the first step in preparing and planting your gardens. It is at least as productive of your time as anything else you can do for your garden.
Meanwhile, return to the raking, mowing, blowing and stacking those waiting leaves.

"Put down those pens, authors! Put down those brushes, artists! Why not go into the service industry? Or banking?"Monday, April 20th, 2009
Apologies to non-Canadian readers, but I need to address our national broadcaster. Dear CBC, Canadians need much more Seán Cullen on CBC radio, and much less Stuart McLean. Why do we have to wait until summer to listen to Simply Seán on the radio? Why only in the summer, CBC? What is the logic of giving us the oily, faux-down-home Stuart McLean all year, and the droll, off-offbeat Seán Cullen only in the summer?

Apollo 15 Mosaic Completed
Let me secretly show you a cool project I just finished. During the later missions of Apollo during the 70's, NASA came to understand that their funding would be cut back. In attempt to extract as much science as possible from the last few missions to the Moon they increased the astronauts' time on the surface, gave them a car, and added a science bay to the orbiting spacecraft. Inside that science bay (called SIM) were two repurposed spy cameras. One was the Apollo Metric Camera, whose 1400 images from Apollo 15 are seen projected above. Recently ASU has been digitally scanning this imagery. This has allowed me and my colleagues to be able to create a 3D model of a large section of the near side of the Moon and to create a beautifully stitched mosaic.
Besides these being pretty pictures, I'm proud to say that all of this work was created by open source software that NASA has produced and that is also currently available on GitHub. Vision Workbench and Stereo Pipeline are the two projects that have made this all possible. The process is computationally expensive and is not recreate-able at home, but a university or company with access to a cluster could easily recreate our results. So what does the process look like?
- Collect Imagery and Interest Points (using ipfind and ipmatch).
- Perform Bundle Adjustment to solve for correct location of cameras (using isis_adjust).
- Create 3D models from stereo pairs using correct camera models (with stereo).
- Create terrain-rectified imagery from original images (with orthoproject).
- Mosaic imagery and solve for exposure times (using PhotometryTK).
- Export imagery into tiles or KML (with plate2dem or image2qtree).
This long process above is not entirely documented yet and some tools have not yet been released in the binary version of Stereo Pipeline. Still, for the ambitious the tools are already there. Better yet, we'll keep working on those tools to improve them as IRG is chock-full of ideas for new algorithms and places to apply these tools.

Can ant colonies reproduce and sustain with no queen? And what is the role of the queen in the actions of the other ants? Has it been found to have any instruction, or only egg laying? (Angela, Baton Rouge, Lousiana, USA)
Hi Angela,
In a "typical" ant colony, there is one or several queens that have been fertilized on their mating flight before colony founding. These queens lay eggs. The queen can lay fertilized eggs, which will develop into females (workers or - when the colony is mature - workers and new founding queens). The queen can also lay unfertilized eggs, which then develop into males. If there is only one queen per colony and this queen dies, the workers can start to lay eggs. But since the workers have not been fertilized, these eggs only develop into males. Males don't contribute to maintaining the colony, they will fly off once mature to mate. So the "typical" colony cannot sustain without the queen. However, there are some ant species (e.g., Platythyrea punctata), in which workers are clonal and lay eggs that develop into females. In these colonies, the most dominant worker will lay eggs while the others maintain the colony. Once this reproductive worker gets weaker or dies, another worker will become the reproductive. A really nice review on exceptional colony structures is "The demise of the standard ant" by Jürgen Heinze.
Coming to your second question: Ants communicate with chemical signals. These can be pheromones or cuticular hydrocarbons. The queen produces a range of pheromones and by this gives instructions to her workers. One important instruction is that the workers don't lay eggs. It is in the queen's interests that she is the only egg-layer and the workers nurse her offspring, forage and defend the colony. So the queen produces pheromones that suppress the ovary development of the workers. Once the queen dies, the workers will start to develop ovaries to lay unfertilized eggs and these will develop into males. Please also read this post on ant pheromones.
All the best,
Steffi Kautz & the AntAsk Team

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
The Small Business Act requires that all federal agencies negotiate with the Small Business Administration to develop small business prime and sub-contracting goals. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the Small Business Act require prime contractors receiving contracts which exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, to give small businesses an opportunity to participate.
EEOC publishes all Requests for Proposals through FedBizOpps, which is the single government point-of-entry for Federal government procurement opportunities over $25,000. To learn more about FedBizOpps, see Federal Business Opportunities
The FAR also requires that all Government vendors be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database prior to award of contract. The CCR is the primary vendor database for the U.S. Federal Government. The CCR collects, validates, stores and disseminates data in support of agency acquisition missions. Vendors are required to complete a one-time registration to provide basic information relevant to procurement and financial transactions. Vendors must update or renew their registration annually to maintain an active status. Both current and potential government vendors are required to register in CCR in order to do be awarded contracts by the government.

People often find themselves unsure of their actions when visiting Asian escorts Marylebone because of many reasons. First, these Asian escorts St. John Wood are extremely beautiful. Second, their oriental charms cast a magic on their clients and third, men find themselves to be mesmerized and short of words in their presence.
If you are not sure what should you do, our advice will be to let the lady set the pace. It is OK if you are afraid to admit that you are nervous. Your escort will be able to gauge your emotions even if you do not spell the words. If you want them to start the act, it is perfectly fine to ask them if you can come close to her or if you may kiss her or for that matter if you two could now move to the bedroom. Asking for what you want is absolutely fine with the professional escorts. They would rather appreciate your straight questions and would be able to set the course of action.
You must not forget that both of you have come together with mutual consent for having a fun filled lovely time. So, when it comes to the actual act your experience will largely depend on your escort. Therefore, being comfortable with the lady is important for both of you. You would get the service that you want her to perform and you would also not be forced to do something that you do not want. If you are not comfortable with any nonconventional form of sexual act, you will have to explicitly tell that to your Asian escorts St. John Wood. It is fine to ask the lady to talk to you for some time and give you some time to prepare yourself mentally to proceed further.
Safe sex is truly important not only for you but for Asian escorts Marylebone too and you will have to follow your escort's instruction. She will take all the precautions and it is for your benefit that you follow the rule. With a free mind both of you will be able to enjoy the experience. The girl will do her best to make sure that you get more than what you expected, but in the end, it is also your responsibility to enjoy the session as you desired.
Staying calm and relaxed will help in your performance as well and even if it does not go the way you wanted it to be, don't curse yourself. After all, this is your time to enjoy yourself and the girl is not going to judge you for your performance. But, never forget to remain respectful and friendly.
Nice words, respectful gestures and being attentive to her wishes are the factors that would make the Asian escorts Marylebone give their best while providing services to you. If she requests you to be gentle or suggests some other posture, you must follow her requests. Till the time the escort is enjoying your company, you will not be able to have a great experience. So, it is important for you to be respectful towards Asian escorts St. John Wood.
When you meet Asian escorts Marylebone ( http://www.london-dolls.com ) or Asian escorts St. John Wood ( http://www.london-dolls.com ) the best thing is that you take back some wonderful memories.
