Girl-Kuripot.com Disclaimer: I can only guarantee my own GK Giveaways and rest assured that this site Girl-Kuripot.com is for Pinoys (both men and women) living in the Philippines. If you fall under this category, you can join (depends only if there is an additional age limit, female or male only limit, geographical area limit like Manila only or skill requirement, etc.) as this is the first thing I look at in the terms section but (still) please read the terms and eligibility requirements beforehand so that you are also well informed. It is your responsibility to determine the validity of each promo, contest or offer, review the rules, full mechanics or terms then decide whether or not you wish to enter into anything posted on this site (I always indicate a source at the end of the post). I try my best to filter out promos which are too good to be true but my dreams of travel extend to the whole world so it is normal to find prizes like trips/stays outside of the Philippines (I have won some all-expense paid trips abroad from experience). There are some contests and promos in this site that are also open to other countries (not only from the Philippines) or worldwide (everyone). If it helps for you to know, I also enter most of the contests here - at my own risk, except for my own giveaways obviously. You can check out the section under "GK Joined" below and my Twitter (@miloodee) for more contests/giveaways =) Enjoy the site! - Love, GK

Bruce Edwards and Grum Willcock ended up victors in the GMSC Crail Summer Stages in their Darrian T9, winning by a 40 second margin from Gary and Gordon Adam in their Escort. Both John Rintoul and Tom Morris suffered mechanical woes while in strong positions, and there was a tie for third between the Subarus of Colin Gemmell and Ross Fernie, settling in favour of Colin due to his time on SS1.
Ross Carbry didn't even know he had an entry until Friday lunchtime, so for a last minute rush he did really well. Graeme Rintoul and his father Jim were the first GMSC crew home in their Fiesta.
72 of the 91 Seniors entered completed the rally, an exceptionally high proportion, but unfortunately Jock McFarlane, George Fell and Roy Millar all rolled, caught out by tight sections at the airfield.
Not long to go now, and the forecast is for sunshine! First car on Saturday at Crail starts at 8am, and we can expect a full-on day of motorsport with cars able to fully enjoy the grippy Crail surface. Seeded entry list is here. The final instructions can be found here.
Marshals: We looking forward to welcoming marshals, signing on from 06:45 with a briefing at 07:15 at the stage start. We offer £5 fuel money, a hot breakfast, a packed lunch and entry into our marshals draw. There are plenty of prizes, including tickets for the Touring Cars at Knockhill (proper ones, not sitting at a marshal point!!). Bill is the Chief Marshal bill.creevy@btinternet.com 07740 374458 and we look forward to welcoming you on the day.
Media: Any media personnel should have made contact with Graeme by now brown.graemea@gmail.com and all media must sign on when they arrive at the venue.
Anyone Else: There are strictly controlled areas for viewing, so please follow the instructions of marshals. Entry after 8am will result in a parking charge by the land owner.
Thank you for your entry to the Summer Stages, we look forward to welcoming you all on the day. Once again the response has been brilliant, so the stage is set for another big day out at Crail. A few things to tell you, including a few changes from recent events, so sit up and pay attention…..
We have effectively completed the entry process for both the Summer Stages and the Summer Junior Stages, thank you for the tremendous response. Any entry now received will be added to the reserves; we have limited the Junior field to 10 competitors, allowing us 90 entries to the Summer Stages. We have already moved 10 competitors from the reserves to the main entry.
If you need to withdraw for any reason, please contact us immediately – you will receive a full refund and make one of our reserves very happy! If you are still on the reserve list, we will keep updating the unseeded list, so you can see where you are in the queue.
PLEASE NOTE; to maximise the chances of getting everyone through all the stages, the start of SS1 is changed to 08:00. You may wish to review your travel/scrutineering plans as a result. We are scrutineering in Leven on Friday night.
We have moved the closing date for the Junior Rally to Sunday 17th May. This will allow us to recycle any spare places not used by the Juniors. Please get your entry in as soon as possible. If there are any issues contact treasurer@glenrothes-msc.com .
We have had a fantastic response for this event and we are now fully subscribed and have a substantial reserve list. Thank you for your entries and well done to those who navigated their way through the entry system. We will be able to "promote" a chunk of the reserves once we have the Junior rally finalised, and to that end we have moved its closing date to the 17th May. We will then provide an updated position to the reserves.
Glenrothes MSC are delighted to return to Crail for another year to stage the Summer Stages and Summer Junior Stages, on 13th June. We offer 55 miles for the grown ups and 28 miles for the Juniors. We’ve been busy with the concrete again so you can expect an improved surface as we continue to invest in the venue. If the November event (and Ingliston this year) are an indicator, we expect a bumper entry, so early applications are encouraged. However, please note that an entry is not complete unless payment is made and the seeding information is completed.

Maggiano's Little Italy opened the doors of its first location on the corners of Clark Street and Grand Avenue in Chicago, Illinois November 11, 1991. What happened next, as they say, is history.
The restaurant was successful from the very beginning, with eager diners sometimes waiting hours for an opportunity to dine family-style. The portions of Italian-American cuisine were large, reminiscent of a Sunday night visit to their grandmother's house, or as they say in Italy, nonna's casa! The recipes were simple, authentic classics, many of them coaxed out of Italian grandmothers, mothers, and aunts whose ideas of a recipe were a pinch of this and a sprinkle of that. With some trial and error, the chefs celebrated the birth of many of Maggiano's signature dishes.

Dubai: The sukuk, or Islamic bond market, has been severely tested over the past 18 months. After five years of growth in issuance, size and investor appetite, last year saw a contraction of 50 per cent in the value of sukuk issued. The second half of 2008 and the first quarter of this year saw the market effectively closed.
While governments and investment-grade corporates in North America, Europe and Asia were issuing record amounts of bonds in the first and second quarters of this year, their Middle Eastern counterparts were also issuing - but in the conventional markets, not the sukuk market.
A well-publicised criticism of the mudaraba sukuk structure made by Shaikh Taqi Usmani, a prominent Sharia scholar, in February 2008, is often blamed for the drying up of the market. Of more impact, though, was the global credit crunch that struck shortly afterwards.
But recent months have seen developments that indicate a significant shift in the market, and which have profound implications. New buyers and sellers have emerged, at the same time as traditional participants have rediscovered their appetite for Islamic debt.
Indonesia's $650 million (Dh2 billion) sukuk issued in April effectively re-opened the market. Since then, Bahrain has raised $750 million, and last week Saudi Electricity Company tapped its home market for $1.9 billion, issued in Saudi riyals.
But study the detail of these issues, and new trends appear. Perhaps the most important is the emergence of the US as a source of sukuk investors.
Historically, the US has not featured on issuers' wish-lists of investors. The education needed to convince US investors to buy this asset class was too time-consuming, too costly and had little guarantee of success. And in the good times there was plenty of demand from the Middle East and Asia, so who needed the US investor? So went the perceived wisdom.
And yet, when HSBC was marketing the Indonesian sovereign sukuk this year, it received strong demand from US institutions, without any prior sukuk education.
Perhaps this demand should not have been surprising after all, the sukuk was issued to comply with the US 144A rule that allows marketing to onshore clients in the US. This was only the third sukuk offered in 144A format, and indicates a growing willingness by issuers to be offered in the US.
By complying with 144A, the sukuk becomes on a par with conventional bonds in terms of the documentation, legal framework and disclosure levels. We are now seeing sukuk issuers lean towards 144A offerings as a matter of course, which bodes well for the market.
The US is not the only new investor sector to have emerged: Islamic private bank investors have also become significant, with 10 per cent of the Bahrain issue being subscribed by this segment. Perhaps it is not surprising that such investors see the attractions of sukuk, given the volatility of other asset classes, but like the US investor base, demand has suddenly appeared.
The most visible result of these new investors entering the market has been the level of subscriptions. Bahrain's $750 millions offer was five times subscribed; Indonesia's was seven times subscribed, receiving commitments of $4.6 billion.
In both cases, this strong interest allowed the borrower to issue at pricing tighter than guidance, and, in the case of Bahrain, to increase the issue from $500 million to $750 million. The SEC issue was even more popular, receiving commitments of more than $5.3 billion.
So what can we conclude from these developments, and how do we see the market developing? First, more sukuk will be issued under 144A regulations, the documentation and transparency levels of which will boost demand across geographies and investor types.
Second, the US will become a leading target for sukuk issuers, and as familiarity with the asset class increases, the investor base will broaden.
Finally, the emergence of private banking investors will open another investor segment that will require its own marketing and approach.
