My Perspective: Americans Doubt Stimulus Results
Well a majority of Americans believe that a 787-billion-dollar stimulus package passed six months ago with support from President Barack Obama has had no effect or even made the US economy worse. A USAToday/Gallup poll released Monday found that 41 percent of Americans think the spending has made the US economy better, but 57 percent believe it has either made no difference or worsened the recession that began in 2007. The paper noted, however, that while economists do not agree on impact of the package on the economy, most believe the recession would have been worse without the stimulus. But respondents were skeptical about the effects of the massive expenditure on their personal finances, with just 18 percent saying their fortunes had improved, and 68 percent saying they had seen no change.
Americans also expressed pessimism about the long-term effects of the package, which combined 288 billion dollars in tax cuts and 499 billion in new spending for a variety of projects, including infrastructure renewal. On the long-term prospects for the US economy, opinion was evenly divided; with 38 percent saying it would improve the economy and 38 percent saying it would make things worse. Twenty-two percent expected no difference. Expectations were even lower for the long-term effects of the stimulus for individuals, with just 29 percent expecting things to get better because of the increased government spending and most expecting their situation to either worsen -- 34 percent -- or stay the same -- 36 percent. The poll, which surveyed 1,010 adults between August 6 and 9, also found concern about the way money is being spent to try and boost the US economy. Over three-quarters of those questioned -- 78 percent -- said they were either "very worried" or "somewhat worried" that money from the economic stimulus was being "wasted."
Six months after President Obama launched a $787 billion plan to right the nation's economy, a majority of Americans think the avalanche of new federal aid has cost too much and done too little to end the recession. Many of the Americans could feel this way because of the number of job losses in this nation has continued to be high and while the public sector thanks to the government has been hiring like never before, the private sector has continued to lay-off. Thus the poll results should not be surprising and the American people are starting to see what I have said for months which Congress and the White House misled, misguided and misused their political capital to get their pet projects funded on the backs of us the American people during a time when our economy was suffering.
POLL RESULTS: Six questions
The USA TODAY/Gallup Poll found 57% of adults say the stimulus package is having no impact on the economy or making it worse. However the number that stands out to me is that even more Americans —60% — doubt that the stimulus plan will help the economy in the years ahead, and only 18% say it has done anything to help improve their personal situation. That skepticism underscores the challenge Obama faces in trying to convince the public that the stimulus has helped turn the economy around. It also could complicate the administration's plans to overhaul the nation's health care system. "This is a wake-up call for the administration." says House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, R-Va. "People see the stimulus hasn't worked, and now you want to lay on over $1 trillion in a health care plan."
The administration declined to comment on the poll results. The stimulus package contains $288 billion for tax cuts and $499 billion in new spending, much of it meant to pay for unemployment and other social services. The $1 billion "cash for clunkers" program was not part of the bill, although its $2 billion expansion comes from stimulus funds. The government has allocated more than $200 billion in aid. Since the plan began, however, the recession has left an additional 2.2 million Americans without jobs, according to Labor Department surveys. Economists generally say the recession would have been worse without the stimulus, though they disagree widely on how much it has helped. "The economy was like a huge pothole we had to fill, and what we did was throw a little gravel in the bottom. You don't fill the hole, not even close. But you make it better," says University of Oregon economist Tim Duy. "Many people don't see the effects so they assume it's not working."
The poll Aug. 6-9 of 1,010 adults has a margin of error of +/–4% for the full sample. In a question asked of a subsample, 51% of Americans say the government should have spent less on the stimulus; 31% say the amount was "about right." Also, almost half in the full sample say they are "very worried" that stimulus money is being wasted. However Republicans seized on recent polling Monday by USA Today that shows a majority of Americans think the Democrats' nearly $800 billion fiscal stimulus package "has cost too much and done to little to end of the recession." "By any objective standard, the Democrats' trillion-dollar 'stimulus' isn't working," said House Republican Leader John Boehner in a statement released by his office. "The administration promised the 'stimulus' would provide a 'jolt' to our economy and create jobs immediately, but 2.8 million more Americans have lost their jobs since the 'stimulus' became law."
"Six months ago today, President Obama signed a stimulus bill with the promise that government spending would put Americans back to work," said Indiana Rep. Mike Pence, the third-ranking Republican in the House. "Congress was told that borrowing another $1 trillion would prevent unemployment from rising over 8% nationwide. With the loss of more than two million jobs since the stimulus was signed and unemployment at 9.4%, the results are in: the stimulus isn't working." So the fact that fifty-seven percent of the respondents to the USA Today/Gallup poll believe the stimulus isn't having any impact on the economy or is making things worse. Sixty percent of those polled don't think the $787 billion package of spending and tax cuts will have any impact in the future. And perhaps the worst news for Democrats at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue is that only 18 percent of respondents think the package has improved their personal situation.
The poll also showed that 54 percent of Americans think the economy will still be in a recession a year from now, and 78 percent of the respondents are either "very worried" (46 percent) or "somewhat worried" (32 percent) that the stimulus money "is being wasted." Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have worked hard this summer to sell communities on the impact of the stimulus, holding press events in cities and towns across the country to make the case that the stimulus helped soften the impact of a global economic contraction. However what is clear is that perhaps the economy could have been worse without the stimulus but that doesn't mean the type of stimulus package the Obama administration pass was any better than the type of stimulus package that President Bush passed because it did little to improve the recession.
I have stated for nearly a year that all bad things don't last forever and that is why I have always believed that America as well as the world would recover from the economic recession. However I have advocated for a real economic stimulus and that the $787 billion that the Democratic Congress passed and the Obama administration signed in law. It is clear by the poll and the 6 questions asked that the American people are tired of seeing their cost of living go up, their friends and neighbors lose their job and the government spending to continue to soar all the while the American Dream continues to slip away for ordinary Americans. For the last year and 8 months, it is clear that the Democratic controlled Congress loves to spend and neither President Bush or Obama have stopped them or thought to do anything about Congressional spending as long as some time of economic stimulus package was put on their desk that has some type of aid to the American people.
However the size of the stimulus is not the problem but it is the approach to the stimulus to that was the problem. Neither President Bush or Obama understood the recession and didn't look for Congress to create a stimulus package that was timely and targeted. Instead as seen now, the $787 billion stimulus package was timely for the short term but for the long term, hyper-inflation is about to soar since we are almost out of the recession and nearly 60% or more of the stimulus money hasn't been spent. Also the stimulus wasn't targeted because it won't create many permanent jobs in this nation and it won't create the 3 million jobs that the Obama administration said it would create or save cause as many jobs that have been saved or created, twice as many have been lost if not more. Therefore the fact many Americans doubt the stimulus results shouldn't surprise anyone because the results have not been seen yet and as much as the White House and the Democratic Congress want to say it is because of the stimulus the recession is nearly over, that is just not the case and any economist will tell you that. The results of the stimulus and its impact on the recession just can't be proven.
America needed a real economic stimulus and we didn't get it no matter how the White House or the Democratic Party tries to spin it but the Republican Party can't act like their plan was any better but it would have saved billions of dollars from being wasted. Hopefully the poll results will make many Americans hold their Congressional leaders who voted for the stimulus accountable come 2010 no matter if they are a Democrat or Republican if they voted for Bush's stimulus, Obama's stimulus, TARP or any other bailouts than we need to vote them out because we need fiscal responsible people in office who will practice common sense whenever voting on legislation that uses our tax dollars.
Poll: 57% don't see stimulus working

Jay-Z - History
(Jay-Z - History)Jay-Z - History with Lyrics
LYRICS : [Chorus: Cee-lo]
Now that all the smoke is gone
And the battle's finally won
(Gimme a lighter)
Victory (Lighters up) is finally ours
(Lighters up)
History, so long, so long
So long, so long
[Verse 1: Jay-Z]
In search of victory, she keeps eluding me
If only we could be together momentarily
We can make love and make history
Why won't you visit me? until she visit me
I'll be stuck with her sister, her name is defeat
She gives me agony, so much agony
She brings me so much pain, so much misery
Like missing your last shot and falling to your knees
As the crowd screams for the other team
I practice so hard for this moment, victory don't leave
I know what this means, I'm stuck in this routine
Whole new different day, same old thing
All I got is dreams, nobody else can see
Nobody else believes, nobody else but me
Where are you victory? I need you desperately
Not just for the moment, to make history
[Chorus: Cee-lo]
Now that all the smoke is gone
And the battle's finally won
Victory is finally ours
History (yeah), so long, so long
So long, so long
[Verse 2: Jay-Z]
So now I'm flirting with death, hustling like a G
While victory wasn't watching took chances repeatedly
As a teenage boy before acne, before I got proactiv I couldn't face she
I just threw on my hoodie and headed to the street
That's where I met success, we'd live together shortly
Now success is like lust, she's good to the touch
She's good for the moment but she's never enough
Everybody's had her, she's nothing like V
But success is all I got unfortunately
But I'm burning down the block hoppin' in and out of V
But something tells me that there's much more to see
Before I get killed because I can't get robbed
So before me success and death ménage
I gotta get lost, I gotta find V
We gotta be together to make history
[Chorus: Cee-lo]
Now that all the smoke is gone
(Lighters. Up.)
And the battle's finally won
(Lighter. Up.)
Victory is finally ours
(Lighters. Up.)
History, so long, so long
So long, so long
[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
Now victory is mine, it tastes so sweet
She's my trophy wife, you're coming with me
We'll have a baby who stutters repeatedly
We'll name him history, he'll repeat after me
He's my legacy, son of my hard work
Future of my past, he'll explain who I be
Rank me amongst the greats, either 1, 2, or 3
If I ain't number one then I failed you victory
Ain't in it for the fame that dies within weeks
Ain't in it for the money, can't take it when you leave
I wanna be remembered long after you grieve
Long after I'm gone, long after I breathe
I leave all I am in the hands of history
That's my last will and testimony
This is much more than a song, it's a baby shower
I've been waiting for this hour, history you ours
[Chorus: Cee-lo (2x)]
Now that all the smoke is gone
And the battle's finally won
Victory is finally ours
History, so long, so long
So long, so long
Man in the Mirror--By Michael Jackson
I'm gonna make a change,
for once im my life
It's gonna feel real good,
gonna make a diference
Gonna make it right...
As I, turn up the collar on
my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowing my mind
I see the kids in the streets,
with not enought to eat
Who am I to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs
A summer disregard,a broken bottle top
And a one man soul
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
(Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)
(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
And a washed-out dream
(Washed-out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see
'Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
(Starting with me!)
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
(Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Change his ways - ooh!)
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that..
(Take a look at yourself and then make that..)
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
(Man in the mirror - Oh yeah!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Better change!)
No message could have been any clearer
(If you wanna make the world a better place)

A Change is Gonna Come by Sam Cook
It's been a long time coming but a change is surely going to come in America and the World! I am the Future of America and the World and that is the message that each of us must carry with us each and every day that we wake up on Earth! I am the Future! You are the Future! We are the Future of America and the World! That is way every election is important--primaries, special elections and general! So vote every year and hold our politicians accountable. Hold our political officials accountable by writing them, calling them and making sure they attend meetings that we the people have. "The Time for Change is not Now but Right Now!"
"EmPOWERment By Any Means Necessary" should be our anthem and should be our creed as we make the positive differences in America and the world that so many people beg for and hungry for year after year! A Change is Gonna Come, A Change is Gonna Come, that's what we must say as we say "God grants us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, Courge to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference" each morning before we go about the task of making a positive change in America and the world a reality.
Born In The U.S.A. - Bruce Springsteen
"When will people realize that we are Americans first and foremost, not Democrats or Liberals, not Republicans or Conservatives, not Independents or moderates. We are Americans. Stop putting a political party above America and stop putting any politican above America. America succeeds because of us the people holding our government responsible no matter the political party because the main two political parties are to blame for the condition America is in."—Hodari P.T. Brown
America with its flaws and all is a country I am proud to have been born in. America is not perfect but my love for it is perfect. That's why all Americans must realize that we are all Americans. In fact we are Americans first and foremost. We are not Democrats or Republicans. We are Americans.
We are not Muslims, Christians or Jews. We are Americans. Too many times we recognize our differences with others rather than appreciating our similarities which are, we are Americans. We are Americans first and foremost, no matter if we were born here or moved here legally. We are all Americans, here in this country to make not only our lives better but the lives of other Americans better so future Americans can enjoy the rights and freedoms that make us all Americans.
We are all Americans. We are one party united under God. We are Americans and this is the only political party that matters. We are Americans and this is our country so let's make sure that we make America better than how we found it so future Americans can live prosperous and joyous lives. We are Americans and must not ever forget that.
America will prosper as long we make sure we are doing our part to make it prosper and that means we can't put any political party or politician above America. Long live America forever and long live America's service to the world. Together, America and the world will prosper for future generations to enjoy America and the world we live in.

Somethings Gotta Give--Big Boi ft Mary J Blige
Somethings Gotta Give people and it begins today for all us to make sure that something is us. We the people are sick and tired of suffering.

John Legend - "If You're Out There"
If you're out there than you need to get started in helping to change America and the world. The world and America won't change until you get involved in making the changes you want to see in this world. If you're out there, than you must know that tomorrow started now and today started yesterday so you are behind in helping to the change. If you are tired of hatred, racism, poverty, war, and violence than the time to change it is now. If you want universal health care, world peace, democracy for every nation, equal rights, and happiness for all than you must get involved now to help the save world.
You must believe in the change that you want to see and you must act on making that change a reality. If you're out there than say it aloud and show the rest of America and the world that you're out here to make a real positive change in the communities we stay in. If you're out there than get involved now. I'm calling every women and men to join me as we take back our country right here, right now. If you're out there than the future started yersterday and we are already late so we have lots of work to do but I know we can do it together as one.
Yes We Can accomplish anything that we set out to do! We don't need charismatic or inspirational leaders to believe in ourselves and to take responsiblity for our own faith, we just need each other. Yes We Can build a new America and a new world if each of us would take action now to make the changes that we want to see in the world. Yes We Can control government by holding our political officials accountable for their actions by calling them out when they don't pass legislation that supports the common good of all man and by voting in every election to ensure that we have people representing the people locally, state wide, nationally and in the world.
Yes We Can be great! Yes We Can be what we want to be! Yes We Can be glorious in not only America but the world! Yes We can put action behind our worlds and change the world starting right here, right now! Yes We Can as Republicans, Democrats and Independents become one as we freely think about our fellow men and women and make decisions that will be in the best interest of all people and not one single group.
Yes We Can be the change that we want to see in the world! Yes We Can show the world that the youth are ready to lead! Yes We Can put our egos, our social economic statuses, our religions, our educational statuses and our skin color to the side for the better good of the world! Yes We Can be Greater than we have ever been and help others be Greater than they have ever be!
YES WE CAN and YES WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS IN ALL THAT WE DO! YES WE CAN, no matter what others may say, we will be glorious! YES WE WILL and YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN!
YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN is what will be sung from every mountaintop, every riverbank, every household, every school yard, every factory, every sporting event, every college campus and even every place you can imagine in the world is where YES WE CAN, will be said and heard!

A War For Your Soul
A War For Your Soul-regular version from Erisai Films on Vimeo.
The moment has come for us as a nation of people to finally wake up and realize that our destiny and fate in society has rests on our shoulders. We cannot allow the forces of evil and darkness to drain us out. We have to continue to overcome all odds in order to make the future of our nation better and the future of future generations of Americans better. We have to continue to pray to our Lord and we have to continue to uplift each other in prayer as well as take action against those things that are trying to destroy us. We have to stand up once and for all and be the future that we want to be. Now is our time and we shall do together by any means necessary.
This video was created to inspire young African-Americans not to fall prey to some of the problems they face in society. The use of the voice "Master of Darkness" represents evil, which is where the blame of all problems should be placed, and not on any one group of people. This video should not to be used to divide people (Black & White), there are images of heroes that are white in this video, and there are images of Black & White coming together with the words of Dr. King in the background. Some of the images from the past can be unsettling, but they are used to show all Americans how far we have come, and how far we still have to go. This film is being strategically placed in school systems, churches and youth orgs around the country, in hope of helping a lost generation of kids that we as Americans have forgotten. As fellow Americans we must continue to love each other, and take that love and spread it to the rest of the world. **THIS VIDEO IS NOT FOR SALE & I AM NOT ACCEPTING DONATIONS FOR THE FILM, I ONLY WANT THE MESSAGE TO REACH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT ANY HIDDEN POLITICAL OR FINANCIAL AGENDA.
Sitting On the Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding
"The time for sitting is over! The time for action is now! The time for hope without action is hopeless! The time for change without a positive attitude is a change that we can't believe in! We need change that is positive of helping all people! Our time for action is now, our time for hope is now, our time for change is now and our time to believe that we can do whatever we set our minds to is not now but right now!"
The Star-Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Key
O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming;
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream;
'Tis the star-spangled banner; O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave,
From the terror of flight and the gloom of the grave;
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave!
O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land,
Praise the power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just.
And this be our motto— "In God is our trust; "
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
Black President

(Let me tell you now)
People get ready, there's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket, you just thank the lord
People get ready, for a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board them
There's hope for all among those loved the most
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all man kind just to save his own (believe me now)
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
For there's no hiding place against the kingdoms throne
[Alicia & Lyfe]
So people get ready there's a train coming
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming,
You don't need no ticket, you just thank the lord

Evil, or just dumb?
American politics frequently hosts the question, "Are they evil, or just dumb?" Most often, it's directed at one of the major Occupation Parties, such as when Democrats wonder whether Republicans are evil, or just dumb, for launching the latest invasion of one of Israel's current open targets, or when Republicans wonder whether Democrats are evil, or just dumb, for not more effectively prosecuting the latest ongoing occupation of one of Israel's current open targets. Usually the marionettes are on their game so well that, even when they make a slip-up, it's of the "bumbling fool" variety--e.g., Dubya or Biden--rather than the off-message variety. American politicians look like idiots all the time, but they're very good at not breaking down and saying, "To hell with you goy cattle, go kill more Arabs or it's gulag for you!" Ergo the great conundrum of the twentieth century: are they really evil, or are they merely so dumb they don't realize what's going on, and they actually believe that, oh, say, Iraq will become a thriving democracy, or ISIS will respect vaginal integrity in London, etc.?
I make the mistake of going on Twitter occasionally to click "like" on everything that comes up, re-tweet Hillary's Spanish ads, and make pithy comments to the Huffington Post's marketing team every time they write an article about the new brand of Acai berries that JK Rowling promises will make you smarter, or the ten best ways for new parents to have sex next to a crib without losing the passion. You know, useless stuff like that. Shouting into the void, defacing a Big Brother poster, screaming that the Emperor has no clothes...whatever.
As part of all this, I was honored and humored recently to have one of Jill Stein's (the Green Party candidate) interns "like" one of my sarcastronic replies.
What a letdown. It's like one of those old Occupation sayings, "In Soviet Russia, audience entertain theater," or more literally and pendingly, "Only in Weimerica do the corporations control the anticorporate party." Even Trump doesn't want to overturn Citizens United, and the Greens are the only pseudo-party speaking out forcefully against it, while being themselves Disney mouthpieces. I expect to see Harry Potter coordinated with soytits entitlement and the resumption of Janissary slave policy in the Eurozone, because that's what they built it for. The Greens should've at least had the savvy to pretend to be anti-Disney, at least until they win a hypothetical presidency.
Harry Potter is another blow struck in the battle between nations and their foreign rulers. The inbred Jenomics used their perverted (Judeo-)Christian religion to mask an invasion of Europe and the imposition of inbred, cousin-marrying rulers, more akin to the model used in the Middle East, than to the network of complementary small kingdoms then webbing Europe, which had been--prior to the subtle merchant invasion--successful at holding off the honest barbarians. Besides its many other poisons, Harry Potter is a strike back at the Magna Carta and similar noble/royal tensions: after centuries of having their inbred finance-kings controlled by international merchants, the nations' nobles tried to restrict kingly powers, in an "audit the Fed" equivalent. JK Rowling's message in Potter is, in part, designed to craft a negative perception of the Malfoy line--the soil-bound old aristocracy committed to the quality of the nation ("nation" in the proper sense). The narrative does a lot of the other stuff too, with sexuality and gender-play and demasculinization, but one of its main reasons for being popularized was the facilitating of the current invasion. Repeal the Magna Carta, cast off the Malfoys, and embrace some inbred transient and permit it to appoint foreign rulers and traders at its leisure.
The coordination between entertainment and power is so profound that it goes ignored. Even from the expressly, totally anti-corporate party--as the Greens are marketed, at least--connecting policy to Disney's meaningfully purposed, utterly corporate, product is a necessity. Neither sarcasm nor irony, nor principle nor shame.

The Fog of War
- Synopsis
- The Canadian government censored the news during World War II for two main reasons: to keep military and economic secrets out of enemy hands and to prevent civilian morale from breaking down. But in those tumultuous times - with Nazi spies landing on our shores by raft, U-boat attacks in the St. Lawrence, army mutinies in British Columbia and Ontario and pro-Hitler propaganda in the mainstream Quebec press - censors had a hard time keeping news events contained.Now, with freshly unsealed World War II press-censor files, many of the undocumented events that occurred in wartime Canada are finally revealed. In Mark Bourrie's illuminating and well-researched account, we learn about the capture of a Nazi spy-turned-double agent, the Japanese-Canadian editor who would one day help develop Canada's medicare system, the curious chiropractor from Saskatchewan who spilled atomic bomb secrets to a roomful of people and the use of censorship to stop balloon bomb attacks from Japan. The Fog of War investigates the realities of media censorship through the experiences of those deputized to act on behalf of the public and reveals why press censorship in wartime Canada was, at best, a hit-and-miss game.

text: It's a seemingly confusing question, until you see the GIF. Where did the soda go? Upon seeing it, you instantly understand the context, as well as the reason for naming an entire subreddit after it. There are subreddits dedicated to a gigantic variety of subjects, but few contain as many user-submitted pieces of gold as r/wheredidthesodago. Infomercials exist on various spectrums. There's products that look really cool, and ones that look ridiculous. But what most if not all of them contain are moments of pure camp, a tactic that imprints itself into people's minds, and almost certainly is intentional. If you remove the context, snippets of them are hilarious, and perfect for GIF format. It's why infomercials are so shareable. Luckily for us, redditors are hard at work night and day submitting to the subreddit, and for that we can be grateful. So if you are in need of a spoon that doesn't work, finding out what a wrench is, or seeing a dog carried around in a shoulder bag, check out r/wheredidthesodago.

If you see pony rides being given (other than on the carousel things you sometimes see at fairs) or little kids being taught English style riding, you might see rainbow reins.
They're rubber covered reins with colored panels - the exact colors vary, but they're generally bright primary colors.
The purpose is to help kids learn to hold the reins in the right place and develop contact. It's a lot easier to tell a kid to keep their hands on the blue bit or the red bit, after all.
They're also kind of cute.

Well I have been at the new Bootcamp for a week now. I enrolled on a three week bootcamp where each morning at 7am an assembled collection of women sweat it out for an hour before work. We have sunday off this weekend so I have been enjoying my day. I weighed in at the beginning of the week at 14stone 11lb. I am going to wait till the end of the bootcamp to weigh in again. I have set myslf a goal to be under 14stone by the end of July. I am off to South Africa in October so I want to be a little thinner. It has been a number of years since I was under 14 stone so that alone is going to be something to celebrate. I have decided to not buy any new clothes until I have to. I waste my money on stuff that does not fit or I won't wear so I want to make my way thru the stuff I have in my wardrobe. I need to save up for my trip anyway.
I have been eating really well this week with fruit salad and granola for breakfast, home made veggie soup for lunch and a decent dinner. No crap just good stuff. I have enjoyed it and have planned for next weeks food already. Planning is the only way I think to make sure I don't falter.

I'm just thinkin' out loud here, but with LSU tanking the big one, here's my prediction:
Providing Missouri beat Kansas.......the BCS should put them at # 1......and LSU could drop no lower than # 6 maybe # 7.......If Oklahoma wins the big twelve championship (link)........I'm thinking Kansas drops to # 9.........But who's # 2?..........if West Virginia, OSU, and Arizona St. win out they could all make a case for having that number. (If Missouri plays really bad, but wins, their one loss could come into question and then you would have four teams lookin' for that number) I'd love to see Oregon and Kansas in a game and LSU play Oklahoma.......Mizzu and W.Va in the big game and OSU and ASU in the consolation.......but I'm just thinkin' out loud. :)
If ya can't say anything else, ya can say this has been an awesome season of college football. Who needs a playoff with this kinda fun? BCS Rankings here
(And yes Mark, I do have time on my hands)....... :)
Update: ( I know all the Bowl games will mess this all up)

Should You Consider Upgrading to a Tile Roof?
As you drive through some Tampa Bay neighborhoods, you might notice the stunning tile roofs on some (or all) of the homes. Tile roofing is becoming increasingly popular as many homeowners in our subtropical location try to replicate a Mediterranean style for their houses. Aside from simple aesthetics, however, did you know that tile roofs carry many other benefits? Here are a few of them.
Weather Resistance
One of the main considerations when installing a roof in the Tampa area is whether it will be able to stand up to the rather extreme weather we can get here on the Suncoast. Whether we're talking about the daily torrential summer rains, occasional hurricanes and tropical storms, or the intense heat of the midday summer sun, the roofs on our houses have a big job to do in keeping us safe, dry and comfortable.
Our tile roofs are able to withstand the wind, rain and hail that is common during the late spring, summer and early fall. In addition, they reflect heat, so you might even notice your energy bills getting lower, as your air conditioning system won't have to work as hard during the hottest days of the year.
Environmental Friendliness
If you are concerned about the environment (and who isn't?), you'll be glad to know that our tile roofs are not only energy-efficient, but also fully recyclable. Even better, they need to be replaced less often than asphalt roofing materials, which saves time, money and space in the landfills. Some tile roofs can last as long as a century! If just a few tiles need to be replaced, we can do so without re-installing the entire roof; this leads to even less waste.
Upgraded Home Value
A tile roof is a luxury item that many potential homebuyers can appreciate and are happy to pay more money for. When the time comes to put your home on the market, a tile roof is one of those extras that can help it sell more quickly and command a higher price. If several homes in the neighborhood begin installing tile roofs, you could even see the market climb in your immediate area, as these roofs make a neighborhood more attractive to buyers. They evoke a feeling of pride in homeownership, which is important to many people searching for a home.
If you want to learn more about tile roofs, please call Dynasty Building Solutions today to talk to one of our roofing specialists and to schedule a free consultation appointment.

random thoughts:
i didn't get a lot of sleep at the end of last week, and my efforts to play catch-up this weekend have failed miserably. on top of the exhaustion, i seem to have developed a twitch just under my left eye. it's been going non-stop since thursday. true story. i'm beginning to worry.
i'm excited for this next week. mainly because it's the last week before christmas break. also because i'm going to have my students make snowflakes to decorate my room. and i think i've almost figured out how to justify reading/watching how the grinch stole christmas in a high school-level english class.
in five short days... freedom for two whole weeks! so ready for a break from work and so ready to spend quality time with family and friends.
lots of changes coming in the next few weeks and i'm looking forward to having time to just sit and think, plan and ponder, organize and make decisions.
i love my job. i love my family. i love my friends. i love my savior. i love my life.
i love the christmas season.
i love my sleep. goodnight.

Registry 201
creating a wedding registry at a second store is much easier than your first go 'round.
After our four hours at Macy's we knew anything after that was smooth sailing.
Target yesterday was a breeze (aside from taking 45 minutes to get to the first Target store due to a Boy Scout parade shutting down all of the National Mall area, thus making getting TO the highway a royal pain. Then finally arriving at the first Target only to find out their registry system needed repairs. We practically begged them to call their other stores and find out which ones were working. Then a torrential downpour out of nowhere caused us to travel at snail-like speed to the next Target store. Finally, price scanner in hand, we were ready to register a second time).
The experts (I have no idea who they are) recommend creating a wedding registry at up to three stores. This helps guests living in different areas who have access to different stores. Although, I'm sure the "experts" came up with this idea long before internet aided shopping.
So at Target we merrily walked the store and played the "Oh I want that!" game. We were much less serious (and less focused?) this time around. That might be why Mike ended up scanning three home theater systems and me: various travel coffee mugs and two different food processors. Oh I should mention that Mike intends to research the different systems and delete two. Still, we even considered board games for the registry. Is that tacky?
What funny things did you register for, or do you joke about adding?
4 comments:
Registering was almost better than the wedding! LOL I loved it. We are such shopaholics that we took our honeymoon money and went back to Target and got more stuff. Then hid in the house while everyone thought we were out of town. Ha ha ha ha. Sad, I know. :-) We got lots of good household stuff. It was SO awesome.ReplyDelete
I don't think it is tacky to register for board games. People you play them with will appreciate having something personal to buy.ReplyDelete
I can't imagine you are Target with the freedom to make a wish list, YIKES!!!
Okay soooo I'm slightly less terrified. This post looks and sounds much happier. :)ReplyDelete
Dude, my husband and I registered for some random stuff. We had like, Skittles and big screen TVs. Who even cares? I told my husband I'm going to start making Christmas and Birthday registries for myself because it's so dang fun.ReplyDelete

This week we have been playing with the chairs. Using Gabrielle Roth's 5 Rhythms the performers have improvised with the chairs as individuals. I then encouraged the performers to play with the rhythms and the chairs as a group. Very quickly some fantastic material has emerged:
- moving as a group
- moving the chairs in different ways, eg. rolling underneath them or next to them to move them through the space
- Pushing the tipped over chairs – the idea of a barrier came to mind when watching
- Manipulating the chairs, so that they look like humans marching
- The chairs are no longer an object but a living object that the performers have a relationship with
- floating chairs balanced on the feet of the performer
Through another playful task, Claire Coache (Artistic Director from Open Sky Productions) and I asked performers to show us what other objects the chair could turn into. Many 'objects' were related to things one would find at a playground. A very effective seesaw was created.
The performers soon became very playful themselves and were playing in their self-created obstacle course, which consisted of the performers stepping from chair to chair.
This stepping from chair to chair soon emerged into a way to travel from one side of the room to the other, which was then complicated by the fact that one chair was 'roasting hot' and as such the performers soon found ways to avoid the chair or to only stay on it for a limited amount of time.
The rehearsal continued with Claire taking the lead. We revisited the poem by Nicola Davies and identified the various sections that will need to be covered in order to tell the story. A rehearsal scheduling exercise was followed by a short improvisation task around the war 'arriving' at the school to generate material. We played with the use of sound that was progressively getting louder as the war neared the school.
More in the next rehearsal….

I haven't posted this until now simply because I didn't like the article and wanted to post it with a reply.
However, since I am too broken and depressed to do that now and time is racing by I'll do it now, without the comment (which will come one day).
Anyway, this is an article on incel published in August 2014 issue of German magazine Der Spiegel, mostly centered around an interview I had with a journalist Takis Würger.
It is a corny, biased piece with a lot of nonsense like adding the 1981 Reagan shooter for some amazing reason but still better than you'd get from an American. I was gonna have my photo taken as well but gave up for reasons I will describe later.

We viewed the marina through large windows, had two delicious appetizers, 3 draft beers for a bill of $13.00. Can't beat this being at Orange Beach. Plenty...

I stumbled across this graphic today. It highlights what impact bottled water is having on the planet. With all the talk of carbon footprints, and global warming there is something easy we can do. Don't buy bottled water, use filters, drink tap water.
I am going to avoid it as much as I can and on the rare occasions I do have to buy some water I will go for the local supplier.

Lowle Ch'red, nicknamed 'shredder', was known for wearing elaborate head pieces, and today was no different. Today she displayed a black spider web like veil. In her capacity as a member of Republic Intelligence, she was following someone known only as 'The One', a fugitive wanted for fixing the election of the Supreme Chancelor when Valorum was kicked out of office during the Naboo blockade. She had been following the case ever since and had gotten only a few clues. She knew he was a male human and lived on Coruscant and now she was looking for Dexter Jettster who might be able to give her some information - if he had any.
"Would you like a cup of ardees ma'am?" said WA-7.
"No, I'll take some strong caf," Lowle replied.
From across the diner she could hear Dex and Kenobi speaking about Kamino, and after Kenobi left, Dex came over. "Well what is it this time Shredder?" he said in his deep voice.
"Oh, you know, the usual. You get a lead and you follow it only to get nowhere," she answered in her thick coruscanti accent.
"Who is it this time?"
"The One."
"Hmm, I may have something on him. I hear he had some part in the election of the new Queen of Naboo."
"That's all?"
"I'm afraid so, and here's that caf you ordered. I'll let you sit and think about it for a while. Have you tried the Jedi yet?"
"No, I'm afraid they'll take over the whole investigation."
She thought long and hard while Dexter went back to the kitchen from whence he came.
The caf was the strongest she had ever tasted and was perfect.
Later that day she stopped by the Jedi Temple archives, only to see Kenobi again. Jocasta Nu was just finishing helping him, and she walked away leaving him looking very confused, which was strange for a jedi.
As Lowle caught up with the elderly Jedi Knight she was shocked that the older jedi had noticed her without turning around. Shredder hadn't had much experience with the jedi yet.
"Can I help you?" Jocasta said in a curt but still polite way.
"Yes, I was wondering if the jedi order is able to help me with an investigation. I need to find out if there have been any notorious hackers on Naboo in the last few years," she said
"My, that's going to be quite a lot of names but I'll see what I can do," Nu replied obviously a little surprised, "and I'll need to see your identification."
As Lowle handed over her identification chip the jedi slid it into a slot on a nearby empty terminal and quickly summoned her with a hand motion.
"It appears that the list is rather short, and seeing as Naboo is one of the more wealthy worlds, that is strange."
"Can you make it go back to a few months before the election of their new queen?
"Why of course."
The list showed one coded name. It was displayed in a deep red that signified that they were off limits until she had a warrant or went back to intelligence to get permission in person. It was so classified she couldn't even ask by comlink, or see their name, just their number.
"May I ask why you are using the jedi database instead of the Republic's, Miss Ch'red?"
"Just between you and me, the Republic's database is a little out dated, and has been known to be missing a few important entries"
"Well we do have the finest of all libraries and I have heard that a lot lately from other detectives."
"I'll just take this code and see if our database has him on file, and then get permission. I'm sure I'll be back." Lowle said, rather flustered
Back at HQ she went directly to the director's office. She didn't even knock on the door into the inner office and walked right past the secretary who did her best to tell her the director was in an important meeting with the Chancellor.
'Well this should be interesting' she thought, 'since the Chancellor is from Naboo he might actually find this interesting'. As she reached to punch the button to open the sealed door it rapidly opened to reveal the Supreme Chancellor and the director with several of his guards.
"Why, we were just coming to see you, Lowle," said the director as he ushered her quickly into the room.
The curtains were drawn and a large map of the republic slowly revolved on the table in front of her. It was the most detailed map she had ever seen. It had the different sectors shaded and Hutt space clearly marked, with another she had never seen in the Unknown Regions
"Miss Ch'red it's so nice to see you again." said the Supreme Chancellor.
"I'm sorry we can't be louder but we are worried that someone may have infiltrated HQ," whispered the director.
"But shouldn't our sweeps or security droids have found them, or the bugs?"
"I'm afraid that there has been a large abundance of biological devices found around HQ and they don't register on our scanners. They are being entered into them as we speak."
"I heard from the jedi council that you stumbled across some evidence that says some major hackers were on Naboo in the months before the election of the Queen," whispered the Chancellor, "I was convinced that the other candidate had gained a majority of votes from people I spoke to when I was visiting."
"But the name on the list is of the highest security. Even the jedi don't have access."
"Only the Chancellor and I have clearance." whispered the director
"What could they have done, or be doing, to have that kind of influence?"
"I'm afraid I can't tell you just yet. You have to promise us this information never leaves this room."
"I promise."
"We all know of the person known as The One. But what you don't know is that he isn't one person anymore. Intelligence just came in that he has been cloned using spaarti cloning cylinders."
"I think we have him now!" said the chancellor in a loud voice.
Seconds later there was the sound of an explosion and several blaster shots. The room was already filling with smoke.
"We need to keep the chancellor safe," said the director, "Take this spare blaster rifle," he gestured to the Chancellor, "Chancellor Palpatine, here is a pistol just in case. Quick, into the closet, just keep going. Lowle, keep the Chancellor safe, here is the data card."
Lowle took it wearily, thinking something was very wrong. "But where will you be?"
"Buying you some time, and be sure not to let the chancellor out of your sight."
She turned around to see the Chancellor pushing some random spots on the back of the closet. As she entered the closet he quickly shut the door and pulled out one of the shelves. She watched the back wall open and they stepped inside the small cavity. There was a blaster shot and a thud as the director's body hit the ground just as the door sealed itself.
"Where does this go to, Chancellor?"
"To the closet in my office."
"But that's impossible, your office is in a different building."
"You may want to hold on to something my dear."
Just then the room suddenly dropped and the lights started to come on.
"Do you have your data pad with you?" he said as he turned around, only to see that the card was already in the slot.
"It says I need the password…" as she quickly handed it to him
"Yes of course do you know what time it is?"
"5:13." She replied, looking confused"
Just then the closet stopped and a panel on the other side opened revealing the chancellors dark red office. She had never been in the chancellor's inner office before. It was very ornate with expensive statues scattered around and a large stone carving in the hallway. All of them had something to do with the jedi.
"Let's call some extra guards to protect us. They seemed very serious back there."
"I completely agree with you" he said as he was pressing the com button to call the guards, "I need 10 of the finest guards outside my office door immediately."
"We heard that the intelligence office has been attacked, My Lord, are you all right, do you need a medic?" asked the commander at the other end.
"No, commander, I am fine but you must get here as fast as possible. I think they are out for me personally. Do not release this to the public under any circumstances except in the event of my death."
Lowle hurried over to Palpatine's holocomputer and uploaded the information. The Chancellor moved quickly to his desk and activated lockdown. It sealed the door and several blast doors came down from the ceiling for more protection. Suddenly ray and particle shields covered the windows and the lights changed to a dim red. Nothing was getting in or out of the office anytime soon.
She read the information on the holoscreen. It said that the villain was right in the room with her. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was the person known as The One.
"But that's impossible!" she stammered as she pulled out her blaster.
"You are not really going to shoot me now are you Miss Ch'red. You would be arrested and surely executed."
"If I have to, but is it really true?"
"Why wouldn't it be? Why can't I be a notorious criminal? No one would suspect me. I have fame, power, and enough money to live in luxury forever."
"First tell me who you really are."
"I am Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Dark Lord of the Sith, and the soon to be ruler of the galaxy." he said in a changing voice.
He moved so fast that she couldn't even get a shot at him. He seemed to just teleport to a statue on the other side of the room flip the statue over and grab an electrum plated lightsaber.
As he activated it with a snap hiss and a crimson blade extended she stammered "Sith Lord? That's impossible the jedi would have sensed it."
"No, they should have, but I have hidden my presence well. They are not as powerful as they believe. All this time I have been manipulating everything and they haven't even taken notice."
She shot at him with perfect accuracy straight at his heart, except that the lightsaber intercepted it and the beam bounced right back into her abdomen.
She had only minutes to live, she thought, as she fell to the ground.
The pain was worse than she could have ever imagined. She saw her childhood flash before her eyes. The death of her family while she was forced to watch when she was eight, her graduation from Republic Investigator College, the day she got her dream job at Republic Intelligence, her first arrest and subsequent career.
"How did you do it underneath all of our noses?" she whispered
"Lots of planning and a supreme grasp of the Dark Side. If you vow to become my apprentice I can save your life and you will be more powerful than you could ever imagine."
"But I'm not force sensitive. The jedi checked."
"But the jedi didn't know I was interfering. I have foreseen this moment for a long time."
"I will never join the sith, and will never help a criminal!"
"Then die!" He said as bolts of blue lightning shot out of his fingertips.
The pain was even worse than the blaster shot. She could feel her bones becoming calcified the longer it went on, and could see smoke coming off her body.
All of a sudden the lighting stopped and she heard him say, "Would you like to change your decision now? Join me and you can wield this power at my side."
She looked over and saw her blaster lying on the floor next to her. Her vision was getting blurry, and fast. She reached for it, only to see it fly into the Sith Lord's hand.
"Did you think you could shoot 'me'?" he said as he loomed over her.
"Yes!" she said as she brought out her spare blaster from her skirt and aimed, only to feel his red blade connect with her neck.

Nice background to that teaser shot from the OS for Attack of the Clones. That elaborate spiderweb veil at first looked like something that would have been on Amidala or other Naboo. As I recall, that veil did not make the final cut in ATOC.

How many mg of caffeine in coca-cola?
Answer . \n23 mg per serving, I believe.
Is there caffeine in Coca-Cola?
Answer . Yes, although a caffeine-free variant is available. The caffeine-free variant usually comes in gold-colored cans.
Can caffeine free Coca Cola give you headaches?
Coca Cola is so full of chemicals - even when it is caffeine free - that it is possible your body would react. Especially if you notice that you get headaches soon after drink…ing it every time. If it is a chemical reaction, like any other food allergy, your body may take 36 hours to respond. There is also the possibility that it is the sugar. High fructose corn syrup is extremely refined sugar, which means your blood sugar goes up to process it - but soon after immediately crashes down. These crashes can cause headaches. . Indiguy says:. Lots of variables, eh?. What seems most likely to me, are the following: Any of the chemicals in Coke, the carbonation, or lack of caffeine by someone who drinks a lot of caffeine containing beverages. (withdrawal) Since you specify decaf, I tend to veer toward the latter. -But I'm a caffeine junkie!

Yes, although Coca-Cola Zero has no Calories, Sugar, or anything considered "bad" for you it does have some caffeine.

What is the difference in caffeine free Coca-Cola and regular Coca-Cola?
Caffeine free has no caffeine and regular still has caffeine andsugar!
If Coca-Cola has caffeine what makes it kosher?
The question seems to imply the impression that the presence of caffeine renders something non-kosher. That is not the case. While there are some Jewish individuals or groups …who hold the opinion that stimulants and sedatives are to be avoided, there is no prohibition of such substances within the normative framework of the 'kosher' laws.

When was Caffeine-Free Coca-Cola created?
Caffeine-Free Coca-Cola was created in 1983.
In Pepsi
How much caffeine does root beer pepsi and coca cola have?
This data came from the Center for Science in the Public Interest.Just giving credit (and blame, if any of the figures are incorrect)where it's due. All figures are for a 12 o…z. serving (one can). . Most root beer (including Barq's Diet Root Beer) has none;caffeine is not a natural ingredient in root beer, and has to bespecifically added. . Barq's Regular Root Beer has 23 mg. This may be what the slogan"Barq's has bite" refers to. . Regular Coke (and Coke Zero, and Diet Pepsi) has 35 mg. . Regular Pepsi has 38 mg. . Diet Coke has 47 mg. Suddenly the fanaticism of some Diet Coke drinkers makes a lot moresense; they've allowed their addition to caffeine to overwhelm thefact that their taste buds are telling them "this tastes vile ." Doesn't explain Coke Zero, butCoke Zero isn't (quite) as foul as Diet Coke.

I finished this book a few days ago. I was going to write about it when I was back at home, (I am in London now) but having already moved on with my reading, I realise it may be better to write about it now, while it is still fresh in my mind.
First of all, loved the book, some parts more than others. Most of all I loved how the book got me thinking. Even the title. It is a Buddhist book but I am going to write about the thoughts it generated about my astanga practice, all thoughts are my own, read the book if you are interested in it, I don't want to spoil it.
I have had an attitude of surrender and honesty in relation to my practice and faith that the alchemy of the practice would just work. For instance if I noticed ego or ambition in my practice I just let it be. I am human afterall and it is a practice. So if I wanted to get on my mat on any given day because I wanted to work on an asana I would accept that even though I knew it was not about the asana, I felt that the practice would work regardless.
This is mainly due to my faith in the practice and has worked pretty well for me. This book made me question this belief and then realise that surrender and acceptance are indeed necessary and yet questioning is also good.
When I first started practicing astanga there were so many things in primary that I couldn't do that the practice hammered my ego each time I got on my mat. Not that I felt bad about it but I was not hey check me out either. What I love about this practice, specifically about learning it pose by pose is that there is usually something I can not do. What I wonder though is as people progress could ego about the practice become more of a problem if left unchecked or even encouraged.
I am by no means advanced in astanga world but as someone who has practiced daily for years my practice has obviously changed. When I practice at a workshop or some classes people sometimes complement my practice. I never know what to say. I work hard at my practice and I guess it's nice to acknowledge that effort. I definitely feel that internally, as in I enjoy being in a fairly flexible strong body. But for me it is mostly a spiritual practice and the last thing I want is an ego about my spiritual practice.
I think it is best to just observe the thoughts that arise as a result of this physical or spiritual progress and just watch them. I think you can not subdue the inevitable how should I put it, unspiritual thoughts or actions. To do so would not only be repressing but also spiritually egotistical, as in, I am way to spiritual for that!
I have found that through surrendering to the practice, it has changed me. I like a challenge of a difficult asana and I like it when I can do something that was once challenging. I mostly do not care what others think, okay well maybe I like to please my teacher sometimes, lol! I am thinking one of the reasons this practice works so well is because it teaches us to stay in the moment, to notice, to allow and to surrender.
I am going to leave you with a quote from the book
" We go around and around, trying to improve ourselves through struggle, until we realise that the ambition to improve ourselves is itself a problem. Insights come only when there are gaps in our struggle, only when we stop trying to rid ourselves of thought, when we cease siding with pious, good thoughts against bad, impure thoughts, only when we allow ourselves simply to see the nature of thought."
Chogyam trungpa, cutting throughout spiritual materialism.

Penile rehabilitation should really start during the months and months promptly after surgical procedure, even If you don't truly feel like it. Typical masturbation will Increase the blood circulation to the penis and there are lots of intercourse toys for men which often can assist.
We all know how crucial it truly is to maintain your penis clean up plus your Hydromax or Bathmate needs to be no exception.
There isn't any "greatest" Bathmate pump (with the exception of the Xtreme product) - the decision of which a single to have relies on your own starting off...
This regimen is the best for me, And that i'll describe why. The gains beneath are rounded down (mainly because I'm applying tailor tape rather than staying precise). I'm not destined to be guessing what 1/10th of the inch I am at:
To avoid this, you have to get the job done your way up little by little. Once i initially started pumping, I was heading really tricky in every session and often bought fluid retention. I took a crack for a few days to Enable my physique reset. I then received again to it but this time, I begun incredibly lightly and labored my way up - I'd no fluid retention.
The Bathmate collection incorporates a weaker gaiter, which is akin to the Penomet "Force 80" gaiter A part of the Premium bundle. Inexperienced persons will discover this gaiter in excess of ample for the primary four months of use.
How can a penis pump click here for more work? It's simple - It is really suction. Bathmate products and solutions present the powerful, continuous suction you'll want bathmate hydro pump x30 to get hard and remain tricky. You need not disguise your pump from the companion-numerous Bathmate pumps are obvious, permitting you and your Particular companion to have turned on because of the sight with the pheasant beneath glass (so to speak).
The consolation pad is effective pretty perfectly during the tub, nevertheless it isn't going to offer sufficient suction within the shower for the pump to hold with no strap. Eliminating the ease and comfort pad find more information can make it possible for the x30 to hold from just its suction underneath the h2o stream of your shower.
I tried a handful of Other people items that seemed not likely to damage my nerve endings. I tried several tablet regimens without having achievement, some natural nutritional supplements, Chinese herbs—The complete nine yards. However no satisfactory results.
Total, I'm proud of the BM X40, and I believe that It is Definitely really worth the purchase When you are ready to be patient.
When you've got The cash, go with the Hydromax Xtreme pump. Get the final word energy and comfort and in no way obtain A different pump. In order to help save some money, choose the Hydromax X package deal.
Concentrating on only the region during the prostate gland where by the tumour is situated, HIFU can help Guys to keep up typical erectile purpose and Get well their sexual purpose a lot quicker than with common prostate ablation.
Bathmate provides a range of penis pumps, and its gained a standing as an excellent maker of products that offer comfort, stimulation, and serious results.
For those who declare a refund for the to start with 60 times and later on decide you ought to re-obtain, this offer will no more be obtainable. This is essential in order to avoid abuse of the present.
