Golden Grove sits in the Parish of Llangathen, and is set in a picturesque agricultural area in the Towy Valley, north of Carmarthen. The Parish is served by the Church of Llanfihangel Aberbythych. I do not presently have any photographs of the memorial, which is presumed to be in the church, as both times I have visited it has been locked, so the names of the fallen are taken from the 1922 published Carmarthen County War Memorial Roll.

On Monday a friend and neighbor contacted me about a birthday present for her husband. She wanted to know what murders or families of narwhals were in stock. I had just sold a great murder and had a slightly damaged family of narwhals in the shop. I told her I would make the repairs and it could be hers.
She discussed this idea with her children (there are three) and they were a bit worried that my piece only had one young'n. There was some discussion regarding gender and tusks.
We decided that I would design and build a pod that was specific to this family. I made a note of relative age and gender and went to work.
I began with a croquet ball. I had slice a portion off to make a base for a single bird. I like the looks of a 2/3 sphere. I mounted it on a chamfered rim. I layered up 2-3 colors on the base and rim and ended up with a sea blue 2/3 sphere and red base.
I find myself using old patterns less and less for projects as my forms become more ingrained in my head and hand. I tend to draw patterns for the project and never re-visit them.
I began with the dad whale. He was pretty straight forward. I did give his head and tail a bit of twist. I temporarily mounted this whale on the base.
I wanted the final form to be a tight twist of whales. I drew and carved momma whale swimming vertically above the father with her tale wrapping around his side.
I used the three remaining, smaller whales, to fill the space between these two. With the carving and addition of each component it was apparent where the next one was to go.
At some point I decided that the base looked like an old globe. I scaled and printed out several world maps and loosely transferred the continents to the base and painted them green. A red line marked the equator.
To achieve the mottled backs of the creatures I painted base coats of different shades of brown. Over the brown I ragged a medium grey. Over this I spatters, using a toothbrush, various shades of cream, black and grey. This is a messy process — I've several spattered painted journal pages and tools — but I love it!
The entire piece is mounted on a series of steel rods. I've had problems with loose joints in former pieces and wanted to avoid them here as placement of the individual whales was so important. I used cyanoacrylate — super glue — as I usually do. Cyanoacrylates can be finicky about setting and I've had my share of frustrations. I recently discovered an activator that makes this adhesive very reliable.
I told my client that this piece would be delivered in about ten days. I'm working on building up inventory so it was no problem putting this piece at the top of the list. We've been "iced-in" all week and with nowhere to go I finished in just over 3 days and was able to put a lot of extra time and thought into it.
The pod is going home today or tomorrow. It's been a ball to render a dear family in whales!

Japanese soup can be a filling one-dish meal featuring a variety of foods. What's nice about these soups is how easily and quickly they can be made; the seaweed stock cooks in minutes rather than the hours it takes to make Western-style meat stocks.
Use homemade konbu stock. The recipe, based on one published in "Japanese Dishes for Wine Lovers," is simple: Simmer two 4-inch square sheets of konbu seaweed in 8 cups of water. Or, use a commercially available powdered dashi mix reconstituted according to label instructions. Both can be found at Asian stores, specialty markets and, increasingly, in supermarkets.

In search of a new challenge, the 39-year-old director of custom publishing at Hearst Magazines Hong Kong Ltd. signed up for dragon boat racing, the ancient Chinese traditional sport. The native Hong Konger had watched Dragon Boat Festival races in the past and knew about the sport's intensity.
"I'm fascinated by all things powerful," she says.
Dragon boat races date back more than 2,000 years as a Chinese ceremony to celebrate the summer rice planting and to venerate the dragon water deity. In Chinese folklore, the story goes that in 278 BC, during the Warring States period, popular statesman and poet Qu Yuan tied himself to a rock and walked into the Miluo River, in today's Hunan province. He decided to drown himself when he learned of an impending invasion. When the local villagers heard, they rushed to their fishing boats to save him while beating a drum to scare the fish away from his body. Every year since—or so the story goes—there's been a Dragon Boat Festival to mark Qu Yuan's death.
Over the past three decades, the sport has grown around the world. Hong Kong now boasts hundreds of teams, and more than 60 other countries host their own competitions. Even the newly anointed Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine Middleton, was a dragon boat racer in London until she had to leave her team in 2007 for security reasons.
Dragon boats are thin, long boats with a dragon's head on the bow. Most of today's boats in Hong Kong are still made of wood but some races use synthetic-fiber ones. The boats used in international competitions hold 22 people—20 paddlers, one drummer and one helmsman—and races are usually 200 to 500 meters.
Ms. Ho says the team aspect of the sport pushes her to always put in extra effort. "You have the feeling that you can't let your team down," she says.
In a competition, she says she has to mentally control every aspect of the body. "As a control freak, I like that," she says. "Your mind and body feel very connected."
She says dragon boating has made her healthier. After three months of racing, Ms. Ho had her cholesterol checked. Dragon boating was the only major lifestyle change she had made, and her level of low-density lipoprotein, or bad cholesterol, had dropped by more than half. Dragon boating also helps clear her mind. When she returns to work—often immediately following an evening practice—she says she feels energized.
"The body is tired, but the mind is refreshed," she says.
The Workout
Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated the fifth day of the fifth lunar month—June 6 this year. To gear up for the annual races, Ms. Ho's team, Buzz Dragon Boating Society, starts with land-based training in September. For four months, the team focuses on building up muscle strength and endurance. Training starts with a 1,500-meter run and then moves to a series of strength exercises. The team will do three sets of 10-15 reps of exercises such as squats, lunges and push-ups. The workout will also include three sets of 30 crunches and other core workouts. The team practices three times a week for one to one-and-a-half hours.
In January, when the weather starts to warm up, the team moves training to the water. They will start with 25 minutes of nonstop paddling as a cardio warm-up. "Twenty-five minutes is actually very long and exhausting," Ms. Ho says.
Next they'll focus on one technique or aspect of the race. For example, the team might practice the first 30 strokes of a race, 10 times in a row.
The types of strokes that teams use vary depending on where they are in the race. At the start, they'll use short, quick strokes that use mostly arm strength to get the boat off to a fast start. After that, the paddlers will use a longer stroke that uses the whole body as leverage and dips the paddle deeper in the water.
Spectators may think dragon-boat racing is all about using the arms and shoulders, but "the power stems from the legs and body," Ms. Ho says. After practice, her sorest muscles are always in her legs.
The team competes in races about seven or eight times a year, and each competition usually has one or two heats that lead to semi-final and final.
Outside of dragon-boat racing and practice, Ms. Ho goes to the gym at least once a week. She'll run on a treadmill for 20 minutes and then move to weight lifting. She focuses in particular on her shoulder and back muscles. She'll often end her gym workouts with core exercises that include crunches and plank holds.
Ms. Ho focuses on making sure she gets enough protein to build muscles and has most of her calories early in the day. She often eats a big breakfast of cereal, a muffin, eggs and bacon. At work, she'll often eat a second breakfast of a sausage roll. For lunch, she might have fried rice. Dinner will be light, often a grilled fish fillet with a light salad.
Two days before a race, Ms. Ho says she'll increase her carbohydrate intake by eating more pastas and wild rice to maximize her energy.
Cost & Gear
Ms. Ho pays about 2,000 Hong Kong dollars (US$257) a year to be on her team, and the fee includes everything from boat maintenance to coaching. Other than the club fee, costs are minimal. She says normal work-out clothes are suitable for racing, but she bought a pair of padded rowing pants (HK$400) to make sitting in the boat more comfortable. She says some people also buy their own carbon-fiber paddles, which are lighter than wooden ones. She bought one for less than HK$1,000. Ms. Ho pays HK$250 a month for her gym membership.

What would you consider a reasonable price for embedding fonts in apps and ebooks?
I think units sold per month is a good way to determine the price, because it differentiates between small and big publishers, and if someone starts selling big all of a sudden they can purchase a new license. My gut feeling is that something like 50, 500 and 5000 units sold per month would cover most cases. What would you consider a reasonable price (for one style)?

Promoting Cambridge – Project detail
Concluded in Spring 2015. The team has now dispersed to work on other projects.
In its year of existence, the team worked on two initiatives:
1. Data
Worked with key figures to update the Cambridge Cluster Map, which is a very useful tool that accesses a wide range of hard data on companies – from turnover and employee numbers through to industry sector and company location – and visualises it in the form of a map. The Map gives anyone anywhere in the world access to key information on the Cambridge Cluster and its companies and demonstrates how 'big data' techniques can be applied to provide sophisticated insight on an entire business community.
The Growth Project team sought to integrate the Cluster Map data with its own data sources and modelling, to produce a much-enhanced tool which created an even greater insight to outsiders and thus a more compelling proposition for Cambridge. The Cluster Map website is currently unavailable due to its upgrade being implemented.
In early November 2014, the Cambridge 50 web site was launched. The site makes it easy and transparent to identify the fastest growing companies in Cambridge and to find contacts to invest, work or partner with them. All the companies listed have grown by at least 20% per annum over two successive years, measured by their revenue or the number of people they employ. Cambridge 50 is the 'scale-up' companion site of the Cambridge Cluster Map and both will form important components of the strategy for promoting Cambridge.
2. A Promotional Agency for Cambridge
The team recognised that the need for a central body that could promote Cambridge as a great place to do business had never been greater. Cambridge is fortunate that many companies wish to locate R&D here, but the city region faces strong competition from around the world. It was clear to the team that Cambridge needs to build larger, enduring companies, encourage trade and investment and create the businesses of the future so as to assure longer-term prosperity.
Discussions took place with Central Government and UKTI but eventually funding for the new agency was agreed, the City Deal Executive undertaking to contribute matched funding of £150,000 over two years. Cambridge Ahead and Cambridge Network are each contributing £60,000. The agency also has the support of the GCGP LEP, Cambridge County Council, South Cambridgeshire District Council and Cambridge City Council. It is now up and running as part of Cambridge Network, and carries out various roles, including:
- Helping companies to trade with Cambridge, to do their research and development, and to make investments here.
- Support the growth of Cambridge companies and look after those multinationals who have already decided to locate here.
- A 'one stop shop' for inward visits − it will receive and host potential investors.
- A clearing-house and advisory service, and building on what Cambridge Network does already, will share knowledge expertise and opportunities.
The Cambridge Brand
The project team believed there is a compelling need for a brand for Greater Cambridge that incorporates the universities of Cambridge, its enterprises, its people, culture and other unique traits and qualities. However, with its dissolution, it will be for the head of the new promotional agency to decide if and when this happens.

I love being outside, and photography gives me a way to express the peace and joy I find in nature. I use natural light to try to capture my experience of places I travel with my family, friends, or often on my own (it's hard to convince anyone else to get up at 5 AM). There's no magic; I just go shoot when the light is good and try to pick an interesting perspective. I hope you enjoy the pictures! If you're in a hurry, check out my "Top Tens" galleries for an abbreviated tour of my photos.
I started doing photography about 16 years ago when I borrowed an old Olympus 35mm film camera from my dad (which I never did give back.....sorry Dad). I took a college course on black-and-white photography at Denison University and fell in love with light. I took my camera with me on trips, and friends and family liked my pictures enough to start asking for prints. My camera has been with me ever since, although I've gone through a couple of upgrades in equipment and have learned through reading, research, and looking at others' photos about composition, lighting, and editing. I'm gradually learning about the business of photography, but mainly I just like doing it, and I'm not yet willing to give up my day job as a psychologist.
For gearheads, I shoot with a Nikon D610 full frame body and one of two lenses (Nikon 24-85mm VR or a 70-300mm VR), often attached to a Manfrotto tripod and ball head. I frequently use a polarizing filter but generally use minimal photo processing with Adobe Photoshop and the Nik Software Collection.
I am currently revamping my online sales procedures. If you wish to purchase a photo, let me know and I will provide an estimate. I am able to fulfill orders for prints, matted photos, and framed artwork directly and work with art purchases for large-scale projects. If you are interested in licensing digital images for advertising or other purposes, please contact me.

noé likes sex. She's proud to like sex. And she thinks that if you're a woman, you should be proud to like sex, too. As a result, noé is also really fed up, and for good reason. She's sick of seeing women who embrace their sexuality being shamed for the very same reasons men are celebrated. Big topic to cover for a debut single, to say the least.
Yet this new single, "Lady" — premiering here on Not Mad as her first official release — succeeds as an unabashedly sexy, assertive and alluring attack on this seemingly undying and yet incredibly relevant sexual double-standard of condemning women and championing men.
This isn't to say the song isn't fun, though. Over a pulsating, slow-burning beat produced by noé's frequent collaborator, Fernando Familiar, noé shows off her vocal range while instructing a boy on the exact ways to love and treat her. A sample verse:
None of them other boys consider me a lady
With my clothes to the floor
They feel me like a figurine
But sex should never be a one way street
Quit calling me names
I'll make you love the pain.
Yeah, she's really not fucking around. Born in Paris and raised between Hong Kong and Aix en Provence, France, noé will graduate from Berklee College of Music in December, and is currently living in between Boston and New York. She took a few moments to discuss with Not Mad the inspiration for "Lady", her feelings about the word "slut" and slut-shaming, the importance of promoting female sexual empowerment and "mutually pleasant" sex, and her upcoming debut project.
Not Mad: Before we even address the lyrics of this song, I want to first talk about perspective. It feels like in "Lady" you're almost looking a guy into his eyes and giving him these instructions. Is this about right? Why did you choose to frame the song with this structure? Do you feel like addressing the song to a "you" makes it more impactful?
noé: "Lady" is about a woman taking control of her own sexuality and not being ashamed of doing so. First of all, I'd like to establish that if I decided to portray the "Lady" character as a heterosexual woman having sex with straight men, it was not only because I wanted to draw the character from my personal experience, but also because I wanted men to relate to the issues exposed in "Lady", [issues that are] constantly confronting women around the world. There are many other ways women can have sex and I hope that the song and its fundamental meaning will resonate with women of all different sexual orientations.
Second of all, I wrote the song as a direct address because I wanted it to be as intimate as possible. This is an important subject to me, and if I was going to take the risk of writing explicit lyrics, I wanted the entire song to be as impactful as possible. I feel like using the "I" and "You" pronouns makes it personal, and involves the listeners a lot more…In any sexual relationship, I want women to feel represented, empowered and stimulated by the "I", and I want their partners to want to be the "you". I want them to feel excited by the idea of a woman taking control of her sexuality, to the point where I want those [male] partners to "want" to be respectful towards these women, and treat them the way they deserve to be treated.
The lyrics in "Lady" are unabashedly sexual and assertive. You're telling this boy to sit down in your seat and to let him let you show how it's done "when a lady leads." You then tell him at the end that "you're gonna go down on me," which I think speaks for itself. This being said, it's inevitably – and unfortunately – more shocking to conventional pop music (whatever the fuck that is) that these words are coming from your mouth, a woman. Why was it important for you to make a song that positioned you, as a woman, as the one sexually in charge?
I wanted to depict a woman taking charge sexually because people tend to directly relate a woman who "loves sex" with the word "slut" and I couldn't disagree more with the bad connotation of this association. If the definition of a "slut" is a "promiscuous woman", then I don't understand how the term became an insult. People tend to think we should stop calling women with multiple sexual partners "sluts", but I believe we should embrace the word and its meaning, and instead, stop judging women for who they are and how they decide to live their lives. The word isn't the issue, the issue is how we think.
Moreover, the idea most of us have of a woman who "loves sex" couldn't be more erroneous. Women don't have to have thousands of sexual partners, the skills of a pornstar, the body of a Victoria's Secret model or any other stereotypical qualification to "love sex". But even if they do happen to have all of the above, than so be it! Who are we to judge? Everyone deserves to be treated respectfully in a sexual context (or any other context for that matter). There is no exact definition of a woman who loves sex. She can be a party girl, a college girl, a married woman, a mother of three, a business-woman or whoever she is, enjoying as much sex as she wants, however she likes it.
This omnipresent "slut shaming" by men and women against women needs to stop. Not to mention the sexism and hypocrisy of it all since a man having multiple partners and an active sex life is in most cases looked upon [as having an] aura, and in some countries even stereotyped as being the "perfect man". Yet, "promiscuous women" are called names and looked down upon.
The sexually-in charge-"Lady" I wrote and sing about stands for all these women: The ones openly enjoying their sex lives, the ones afraid of talking about their sexuality, the ones ashamed of loving sex, the ones who won't take pleasure in the act because they were told it was disgraceful, the ones who won't have sex for fear of "slut shaming", the ones who think they are not good enough for sex, and all the other women who wish they had more of a say on their own body and sexual activity.
Do you feel like more women – especially women in college, like yourself – need to take more control of their sexuality?
I wouldn't say that women "need" to take more control of their sexuality. I'm not forcing anyone to do so, but women who choose to take control shouldn't be afraid of doing so… I do believe women should start talking more about their sexual activities, and do so with pride instead of shame; however, we need to provide them with a safe environment in which they can express themselves without being judged.
It feels like sex is a taboo subject amongst many women, because many of us grew up in a society in which conversations about women's sexual activities never surpassed the mere concept of reproduction. Some of us were never even [had it] explained how sex could be pleasurable to women. We had to figure it out on our own, and sadly some women still haven't figured it out. In fact, I've realized many women don't know what "mutually pleasant" sex feels like. I don't blame it on women, nor do I blame it on men. I blame it on the general assumption we've maintained throughout the generations that "women don't like sex". This only fueled the belief that sex shouldn't be / can't be pleasing to women.
This assumption brought many of us women to feel alienated with our own bodies, making us less confident about our overall sexuality and less inclined to stand up for ourselves and pleasure in sexual contexts. If we can hardly change the older generations' opinion on women and sex, we can help younger ones understand and embrace women's sexuality and make choices of their own.
Are you planning on releasing an EP or full-length project to follow this up?
Yes! I am currently working with my amazing producer Fernando Familiar on my upcoming EP. It should be released by the end of this year. I am very keen on my music being just as compelling as it is meaningful, with songs having deep significance and sparking conversations on subject matters that are important to me. However, "Lady" only showcases one aspect of my personality. My EP will touch base with other sounds, emotions and issues I hope many of you will be able to relate to. I can't wait for you to discover the other facets of who I am!

Our obsession started with Herschel bags when we were looking for the perfect Father's Day gift for our hubs. We came across Herschel bags and never looked back. Unfortunately they don't really go on sale, but right now there is a great selection of men's bags on sale at Nordstrom for 40% off. In particular they love this Novel duffel bag which drops from $80 to $47 (a favorite feature is the separate shoe compartment!) They also have a great selection of backpacks on sale like this Pop Quiz backpack which drops from $70 to $41. Shipping is Free. (Note: They have ADORABLE kid's backpacks too which we will keep our eye on for a good sale)

You will find five types of fire extinguishers commonly in use today; water, foam, powder, CO2 and wet substance. Other forms of more specialist fire extinguishers include, Halon, clean agent fire extinguisher, and specialist powder extinguishers like Class - D fire extinguishers for metal fire hazards and monnex powder. Water fire extinguishers are the most often used, the simplest, and most affordable. They can be employed to extinguish flammable solid fires like paper, wood and most regular combustible materials - also known as Class - A fires. Additives might be added to water extinguishers to increase their fire rating as well as their fire fighting capability, allowing smaller, lighter models to be used.
In addition, low freeze additives may be added to defend the water from danger of freezing in cold states - this is usually employed for caravan parks as well as unheated warehouses and outbuildings. A foam extinguisher provides class A coverage in a comparable way to a water extinguisher, but also provides coverage against flammable liquid fires, assuming a B rating. AFFF foam extinguishers are often established in areas where there aren't any flammable liquid hazards present, but as a favorite medium to cover the class A hazards as well as to meet the flooring rating of the building.
In offices, the aerosol nozzle employed on most foam extinguishers, means it is safer if employed accidentally or unintentionally on electric fire hazards. Some foams and more recently some water extinguishers are tested to adhere to a 35kva dielectric test to certify their safety if accidentally applied on electric risks. ABC dry powder fire extinguishers might be safely utilized on fires involving electric equipment as well as flammable solids and fluids. As they cover various kinds of fire risks, they're also called a multi-purpose extinguisher. Even though they may be used on electric fires, the powder - Mono Ammonium phosphate - shouldn't be the first selection of extinguisher to be used on very sensitive electrical equipment, as it may cause harm to very sensitive parts as well as get deep into the inner workings of small parts causing corrosion. The first option fire extinguisher for guarding electrical equipment is the CO2 extinguisher. The primary advantage being that they're inert, clean and for that reason leave no residue, working by depleting a fire of the oxygen necessary to continue burning. They're also safe to use on flammable liquid fires like petrol and oil, they're unsafe however on cooking fat fires due to their fast release which may spray hot fat and potentially spread the fire.
Do you have fire extinguishers in your home? Which kind do you own? Sound off in the comments section down below.

Mesa Mods & More
I have a Mesa Triple Rectifier that for the most part I am pretty happy with, but I've read about replacing output transformers, tubes and all sorts of other stuff. I just want my amp to sound more present, punchy and for the distortion to sound clearer. What do you recommend?
The Dual and Triple Rectifiers are among the top five amp models we mod the most. You can check out the details, sound clips, etc on our website, however, before you go that route you may want to experiment with some new tubes and/or a new output transformer. For power tubes we really like the tone of the Ruby 6L6GCMSTRs with a PC rating number of around 35-45. For preamp tubes we have been using the GT-12AX-C (gold series) with our Standard or Deluxe Mods, but the GT-5751M (gold series) works well in a stock Mesa Rectifier.
The output transformer can also make a significant difference and recently we have been shipping our custom VAREC180-O output transformers directly to customers. These are made to our specs by Mercury Magnetics and it gives you 4, 8 and 16 ohm impedance taps. You can take the amp to your local tech to have it installed or perform the work yourself (if you know what you're doing). The tonal difference is literally night and day. The amp will feel much easier to play on, tighter/richer on the bottom end, pinch harmonics come out with ease and the over all tone is much more focused.

Pakistan needs staggering $2bn for refugee reliefJune 12th, 2009 - 8:43 pm ICT by IANS
Peshawar, June 12 (IANS) Pakistan needs a staggering $2.2 billion to rehabilitate the three million refugees who have been uprooted by the military's anti-Taliban operations in the country's restive northwest, Online news agency Friday quoted Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi as saying.
Talking to reporters during a visit to the Jalozai refugee camp near this North West Frontier Province (NWFP) capital, he said the US had given $300 million while Turkey had contributed $110 million.
Qureshi said the Pakistani government had begun negotiations with donor countries to raise the target amount for refugee relief, while talks on this had also been held with the heads of UN agencies in Pakistan.
Noting that donor agencies and UN bodies had stocks only till July, Qureshi said if fresh aid did not arrive by then, Pakistan would make good the requirements from its own resources.
"We can reduce our development budget and we can reduce our expenditure, but the IDPs(internally displaced persons) would not be (left) disappointed (due to lack of relief goods), the foreign minister maintained.
All resources would be utilized for the rehabilitation of the refugees, he said, adding that their return would be ensured in a phased manner after the revival of the civil administration in the Swat, Buner and Lower Dir areas of the NWFP where the military operations are underway.

California coach Lindsay Gottlieb can envision her team one day being in the position the Golden Bears face now.
Cal plays its second-round NCAA tournament game Monday night at perennial power Baylor. It is a battle of Bears for a return trip to the Sweet Sixteen for one of them.
Gottlieb says her players embrace the stage they're on. She also believes her program is at a stage where eventually people will be asking the next team what it's like to go play Cal.
Baylor, a two-time national champion under coach Kim Mulkey, is trying to get to the Sweet Sixteen for the sixth consecutive season. The Lady Bears (30-4) have their fourth consecutive 30-win season.
Cal (22-9) made an unexpected run to the Final Four last year.

- Well done members area with some nice browse / search features. The site design is not the most attractive, but it is ok and it is very easy to navigate due to the nice browse/search features Only Secretaries has included. And the arrangement was neatly done and very organized.
- Reasonable membership price. Membership price depends on the kind of offer you want. You can get it for $24.95 for 30 days (non-recurring) or go for $19.95 a month (recurring). You can also get it for $49.95 for 90 days (non-recurring) or $89.95 for 180 days (non-recurring).
- Movie Theater. Ok what is this? With regard to this feature this is what Only Secretaries has to say about this: Via the Movie Theatre you can view the latest and favourite videos via the Flash Player. To view the movies you will need to have Flash player installed.
- The Theatre has three channels, Latest Added Videos which shows the last 10 videos released to the members; Top Voted Videos showing the Top 10 videos as voted by the members; and Your Favourite Videos, which features videos that are available as a Flash video that you may have added to Your Favourites (note you can add any video or set to Your Favourites via the link when each set is displayed).�
- Video quality may be improved further. The video quality is not actually bad at all, but it is not mind-blowing either. Having a bit rate of 1510 kbps nowadays is just satisfactory. For members to have a real awesome viewing experience, a bit rate of 2000 kbps and up would be splendid.
- Nothing for people who want more than non-nude content. Yes, hardcore stuff is way out of the question. Here, breast and pussy exposure is the best you can have. Only Secretaries concentrates more on the teasing aspect and the horny secretaries in nice pantyhose niche.
- Bonus access to 4 additional company sites costs extra. If you want to include free access of five of Only Secretaries' sister sites with your membership, then the price shoots up to $44.95 a month.
- Could explore other video formats. It would be great if they add other video formats instead of having just .AVI. Though this is a nice video format, some people really prefer what they are accustomed to and don't want to download anymore codecs and stuff just to make a certain video play. And also, I believe that MPEG4 is perfect for this kind of content.
OnlySecretaries is perfect for people who totally dig teasing secretaries stripping type of content. It�s all very softcore without an ounce of hardcore content. This site offers nicely shot images in really good resolutions. Video content quality is not that bad as well. The site itself is fascinating, with really smooth navigation due to nice browse/search tools, and also because of well organized content. The price is cool and I can't find a reason to stop you from trying Only Secretaries for yourselves.

Future plans for Golden Minerals
However, Golden Minerals is not, yet ready to implement this huge profit boost plan. This is due to the company being required to further work on optimizingoperations and meeting various regulations, which have been set out by the PEA.
