Dreissenid mussels (quagga or zebra) have been discovered in Lake Piru in Ventura County. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is working with United Water Conservation District and Lake Piru Recreation Area staff to contain the infestation. All boaters are being required to clean, drain and dry their watercraft upon exit from the lake. This discovery marks the first time quagga or zebra mussels have been found in a Southern California waterbody that does not receive water from the Colorado River.
On Dec. 18, Lake Piru Recreation Area staff reported the discovery of potential quagga mussels to CDFW. The mussels were found attached to a Lake Piru patrol boat and several additional mussels were subsequently found on devices deployed in the lake for the purpose of detecting mussels and on the shoreline. CDFW staff tentatively identified the mussels, which range in size from one half to three quarter inches long, as quagga. Genetic testing is underway to confirm this identification. Lake Piru Recreation Area staff are working to determine the full extent of the infestation.
Lake Piru, which is managed by United Water Conservation District, is located downstream of Pyramid Lake. Lake Piru drains into Lower Piru Creek, a tributary of the Santa Clara River.
Quagga and zebra mussels, non-native freshwater mussels native to Eurasia, multiply quickly and encrust watercraft and infrastructure, and compete for food with native and sport fish species. These mussels can be spread from one body of water to another attached to nearly anything that has been in an infested waterbody, or via standing water from an infested waterbody entrapped in boat engines, bilges, live-wells and buckets. People who launch vessels at any body of water are subject to watercraft inspections and are encouraged to clean, drain and dry their motorized and non-motorized boats, including personal watercraft, and any equipment that comes into contact with the water before and after recreating at a waterway.
For more information on boat inspection programs and preventing the spread of quagga and zebra mussels visit CDFW's website (www.dfg.ca.gov/invasives/quaggamussel).
Quagga mussels were first detected in the Colorado River system in January 2007 and were later found in San Diego and Riverside counties. They are now known to be in 26 waters in California. Zebra mussels were discovered in San Justo Reservoir in San Benito County in January 2008.

Whoa! Speechie off the port bow!
This post is in dedication to Talk like a Pirate Day (September 19th…of course.) The fine folks over at LessonPix asked the #slpeeps for some pirate-y themed therapy and we obliged (because we're da bomb dot com.)
First let's start by saying: LessonPix is AWESOME. I'm not just saying that because they asked me nicely to write this post and be part of their blogging hearties. I'm saying it because I DO WHAT I WANT, YO. What is LessonPix you ask, Dear Reader?
Well, "LessonPix is an easy-to-use online resource that allows users to create various customized learning materials."
For serious – you can make SO MANY THINGS. It's $36 a year, and in comparison to something similar (think in the ballpark of $400) I think it is WELL worth it. Especially since I can login on any computer – I don't need a disk. For $36/yr I'm getting what – 11 years to the $400 one time price. (Obviously prices change and products change and therapy changes so don't come crying to me in eleven years, that's just a way to think of it if you're having trouble with the cost in your brain.)
What sorts of things can you make? I'll tell you. Picture cards such as THESE:
Or you can create about a zillion other things. You pick the PIX you want, and the website creates PDFs with your material.
You can search what you need, upload personal images – it pretty much does all of the things. Which is awesome because I've got things to do, I can't be hanging out in Paint all day trying to draw with my arrow mouse. I couldn't do that in fourth grade and I can't do it today.
Anyway back to the pirates. I'm working for the MOST part as an Early Intervention Therapist. My caseload is composed primarily of two year olds (Yeah I didn't know I had patience either, you aren't the only one who is surprised.)
When LessonPix asked if I'd use their pirate materials to do therapy I was all about it. Here are some things I made:
These are GREAT, because obviously I can put anything I need to in there. For a lot of my kiddos we're working on receptive language – specifically identification of familiar objects/toys and following directions. So in the case of the treasure map up there, I put in images that correspond to a puzzle I was using in therapy. Then I can provide not only a verbal cue, but I can point to an image. Many of my clients require an extra prompt or two so adding a visual component is a great way to supplement cues I'm already providing. And since it's on a treasure map, I can use these little guys to hop along to the next piece:
If I wanted to do a themed therapy session with pirates, I could use the game board and a corresponding toy for a scavenger hunt type of activity. I found this in our therapy cabinet and it worked great for such a task:
You can see that this toy has many components, such as cannon, helm, mast, spyglass, ladder, etc. While playing we could go over these vocabulary terms and then use the gameboard to prompt "giving" specific items or identifying by pointing. In early childhood therapy themes are often used so even if there was an ocean or beach unit, this type of toy could fit in nicely. And having engaging, novel materials to use with little ones is pretty much key to your survival so LessonPix really helps out with that!
I will absolutely be using LessonPix materials again, I think their product is amazing! My brain can't even understand how the picture gets to the TV Screen so I have no idea how they're making customizable materials out of thin air that make my life so easy. Now all I need is a real pirate to help me cotreat…

Living Hope Sermon Series:
Pastor Clark and Pastor Tim believe that God uses the preaching of His Word to call His people to repentance, renewal and rejoicing. We believe the Scriptures are essential to the life of Living Hope so expository preaching has a central place in our corporate worship. The authority of preaching is found in authoritative Word of God. We believe that God uses the systematic preaching through various books of the Bible to establish and extend His authority. Our pastors strive by God's grace to prepare their sermons prayerfully and diligently seeking to bring the grammatical historical truths of the texts to the attention of the listeners in a practical, relevant way. The sermons are posted here to be used as appropriate: catch a sermon that was missed, as a mid-week review, or to pass along to others in order to encourage them. May God richly bless His Word to the heart of the hearer!

Hacktivist DDoS Attacks on NATO Websites Linked to Ukrainian Tensions
Hacktivists reportedly caused extended periods of downtime on several NATO websites over the weekend, and the distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are said to be linked to escalating tensions between Ukraine and Russia over the now occupied region of Crimea.
The attacks began on Saturday evening, and continued through Sunday, though most services had recovered, and officials say the event did not at any time put critical systems, data or operational functions at risk.
"It doesn't impede our ability to command and control our forces. At no time was there any risk to our classified networks," a NATO official said.
The attacks were likely prompted by published statements on NATO's main public website (www.nato.int) from Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen which insinuated that Sunday's referendum on Crimea's attempt to break away from Ukraine would violate international law.
A website belonging to NATO-affiliated cyber security center in Estonia and NATO's unclassified e-mail networks also experienced disruptions from DDoS attacks launched by a hacktivist group identified as Cyber Berkut said to be protesting NATO's interference in their country's internal affairs, but experts believe the attacks were likely initiated by pro-Russian sympathizers.
"One could equate these cyber attacks against NATO as kicking sand into one's face," said John Bumgarner, chief technology officer at the U.S. Cyber Consequences Unit, a non-profit research institute.

Solar is the obvious choice. When you think about it, the ability to make electrical power from sunlight is a marvellous process.
Solar energy
Electricity generated via a solar power system s 100% carbon free, renewable, clean, and silent. Solar panels themselves are highly durable, with standard life-spans of 25 years +.
And how much nicer is it to flick on a light switch at home, or cook a meal, knowing that just like a natural, plant-based ecosystem, you've harnessed the power of sunlight to make it happen.
It makes the burning of fossil fuels to produce electricity seem like an old dirty habit.
Power from solar photovoltaics: What's its history?
As far back as 1839, a 19-year-old Frenchman called Edmund Becquerel, discovered what is called the photovoltaic effect, the physics behind the solar cell, while experimenting with a couple of metal electrodes. His process was refined over the following decades by pioneering scientists, and in 1923 Albert Einstein received the Nobel Prize for his theories explaining the photoelectric effect.
In the early 1950s the first uses were made of the photovoltaic cell, sometimes referred to as PV cells. These cells are produced from extremely thin wafers of silicon. These are the types of solar panels that you hear about most frequently these days.
Solar energy has come a very long way since 1958 when the first solar powered satellite was launched. With the recent advent of nanotechnologies, the efficiencies of the PV cell are now many times what they used to be. Now it takes far less roof space, and far less expense, to fully solar power an average home.
Solar Panels and Solar Power: How does it work for you?
When sunlight hits these cells, electrons are shaken free and move around. Electrons are the negatively charged particles that sit around the nucleus of an atom (the nucleus consists of protons and neutrons). An electric current is simply the movement or flow of electrons in the same direction. A bolt of lightning, for example, is a sudden surge of electrons across a build-up of charge within clouds, or between clouds and the ground.
If you place a group of these PV cells together in a panel, and install a number of panels side by side, you can create a flow of electrons and DC electricity. The electricity used in households, however, is AC 240 volts. Therefore a box called a solar inverter – usually no bigger than your average shopping basket – is used to convert the DC electricity to AC so it can be used immediately by occupants and the electricity grid.
It is important to remember that even an overcast or rainy day is sufficient to generate some solar power, although obviously significantly less than if your panels were basking in broad sunshine. If shading could potentially be an issue, or if you need to split the array on a roof which faces different directions, try to maximise the output of your system by using an inverter that can take multiple inputs. In any solar panel 'string', where the panels are in series, the weakest panel pulls all other panels on the same wire down to its level. This means that if even one panel is shaded, all other panels may as well be in the shade. Separate strings of panels wired to the inverter enables you to mitigate the effects of this problem.
Grid-connected solar power systems are generally very low-maintenance. Besides the occasional cleaning and regular health-check, solar panels should last you for decades.

Victoria University researchers have been awarded nearly $1.2 million in funding to find new and improved antibiotics from previously untapped sources.
The Health Research Council of New Zealand has granted the funding to Dr Jeremy Owen and Professor David Ackerley for their three-year project.
Owen said the project will use DNA sequencing and synthetic biology to discover new drugs. "These techniques allow us to extract new molecules from bacteria that can't be grown in the laboratory."
Ackerley said antibiotic resistance was a significant threat. The World Health Organization recently described humanity as being in a race against time to develop antibiotics against multi-drug resistant superbugs.

Serco has sold its equity stake in the company that holds the contract to design, build and run Wiri Prison in South Auckland. It will continue as a sub-contractor to operate the facility.
This month, Serco sold its 10% per cent stake in SecureFuture to InfraRed Infrastructure, part of London-based InfraRed Capital Partners. The exit is among changes in Serco's New Zealand business since the London Stock Exchange-listed company lost its management contract for the Mt Eden Corrections facility, leaving it with the 25-year contract to run Wiri, which opened in May last year.
Serco NZ's revenue doubled to $64 million in 2015 but costs including a $10 million onerous contract provision associated with the Mt Eden contract and a doubling in its wage bill to $40 million led to a loss of about $11 million.

Date set to broadcast Birmingham cabinet meetings to the world
Live video streaming of Birmingham City Council cabinet and planning committee meetings is expected to begin in February next year.
The council is close to finalising a contract with an as yet un-named media company and has identified committee rooms three and four in the Council House as the venue for live coverage.
The preferred bidder has offered to provide a set number of hours' coverage during the year for a fixed fee, but it will be up to council leaders to decide exactly which meetings are screened.
A source said it was also likely that some scrutiny committees and district committee meetings would be broadcast, fulfilling an open government commitment by council leader Sir Albert Bore.
The annual cost to the council of live streaming on the internet is thought to be in excess of £100,000 and the money to pay for the new service will come from corporate reserves.
However, the cost is not as much as £500,000 and can be signed off by chief officers using delegated powers.
Full council meetings will continue to be screened live, as happens now. The eight council meetings shown so far have attracted more than 43,000 views.
Sir Albert made it clear when taking control of the council in May that he regarded live coverage of meetings as an essential step forward in bringing greater democratic accountability to the local authority.
He is particularly keen for district committee meetings to be held in the Council House, where chief officers are on hand to easily attend. Sir Albert said live streaming would allow members of the public to follow the businesses of the committees from the comfort of their own homes.
Only the more controversial scrutiny committee meetings are expected to be broadcast, along with fortnightly planning committee meetings.
Procurement of the webcasting service was handled by Service Birmingham, the council's IT provider although a formal tendering process was not conducted.
Cllr James McKay (Lab Harborne), cabinet member for a green, safe and smart city, said: "A procurement exercise is underway and will be finalised shortly. The council leader has made it absolutely clear that a measure of priority is to be given to this."

Wichita, Kansas (March 7, 2018) – Mount St. Mary's University sophomore catcher Sean Kelly has been named to the 2018 Johnny Bench Award Watch List, as announced by the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission last week.
The award, which is given annually to the nation's top NCAA Division I catcher, features 97 backstops and will be updated to include other candidates until April 30, 2018. Kelly is one of four Northeast Conference (NEC) catchers to make the initial list, joining Cody Doyle from Sacred Heart, Phil Capra from Wagner, and Nick Garland of Central Connecticut State.
Kelly has made seven starts and appeared in nine games for the Mount to open the year. At the plate this season, Kelly leads the team in slugging percentage (.586), doubles (3), and is tied for the team-lead in home runs (1) and triples (3). He also ranks fourth in batting average (.310) and RBIs (5), and has an on-base percentage of .333. Behind the dish, Kelly has registered a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage with four runners caught stealing.
The watch list will be narrowed down to the semifinalists, whom will be announced May 16, 2018. Ballots will be sent to the national voting panel at the end of May for a vote to determine the three finalists. The finalists will be announced June 4, 2018. A final vote among the national committee will occur during the College World Series. All finalists will be brought to Wichita and the winner will be announced at the 21st Annual Greater Wichita Sports Banquet on June 28, 2018.

The Key to Continued Peace
Life is unpredictable. Wealth disappears, jobs end, relationships fail. Even health is not guaranteed. The good news is that we can experience inner peace that is not threatened by life's challenges. The secret to this tranquility is surrender to the heavenly Father. Peace with God is the fruit of oneness with God (Life Principle 12). We experience calmness beyond human comprehension when we submit to His will and trust Him to provide for our needs.

Hair goals: the length you want!
When I first embarked on my haircare journey, I'll be honest, for me, I wanted LONG HAIR. It was ALL about the length! I was inspired by the fotki pages of other black women who had grown their hair to dazzingly proportions.
However, I quickly realised that the healthy hair grows stronger. And stronger hair retains length. Of course, it was all in the handling of the hair. I know that now.
To actually commit to this, I needed something to look forward to. At first, it was hair past my shoulders....perhaps in line with my armpits at the back (armpit length, also known as APL). This galvanised me to start strong and continue. I was prepared to wait a while. I had read with each woman, it took dedication and patience to reach each goal.
I sailed to APl withing 4-5 months and was now excited. My hard work was already paying off! So what next? BSL hair, of course (bra-strap length to the uninitiated).
Looking at charts like the above really helped me, and I hope it will help you too. It gave me a picture of where the hair should fall. I also went online and looked at pictures of celebs to keep as inspiration ( like, Zoe Saldana's MBL hair).
So pick an ultimate goal length (this may take a couple of years to reach). Then pick an interim length as a short-term goal, say in 6 months, I want to be at ___ length on the way to my ultimate length!
Next up! Hair goals: healthier hair!

My grandma does not really like it whenever I grow out my hair. I have always wanted my hair to be very long up to my buttocks, but I can never do it because my grandma would always force me to go to the salon to have a haircut. She says that it is too long and unhealthy. I do not know why I want my hair long, but I just find it very pretty. It kind of reminds me of my Barbie dolls when I was a little girl.

CHICAGO — It was a study in contrasts for a once stalwart American ally: There was Kenya Prime Minister Raila Odinga in Barack Obama's hometown of Chicago last Thursday. He had been invited to speak to a business group by the city's Council on Global Affairs.
On that very same day, as Odinga was talking up the future of Kenya's economy in the Windy City, Tanzania President Jakaya Kikwete was at the Oval Office meeting with President Obama — the first African head of state to do so.
Odinga's U.S. visit also included a stop at the University of Buffalo to address the law school, but a meeting with Obama in Washington wasn't in the cards. It appeared to be a snub to the Kenyan leader.
Since Obama's inauguration in January, Kenya has enjoyed the status as the country where the new U.S. president's father was born. Odinga himself recently claimed he's Obama's cousin, though that has not been officially confirmed.
But all is not well with Kenya's "special relationship" with the Obama administration. Not only was Odinga not welcomed in Washington, even to meet a few officials, but a few days before Odinga's U.S. trip, Obama announced that his first visit to Africa as president would be not to Kenya, but to Ghana, a country that recently held successful elections and had a peaceful transfer of power.
Members of GlobalPost Passport can watch the full interview with Prime Minister Odinga. If you're not a Passport member, you can find more information here.
So where does that put Kenya, a longtime East Africa power player and U.S. ally? Not in the White House; more like the dog house.
Right now, Odinga admits Kenya has some work to do to get back into Washington's good graces. He says the relationship is "fairly cordial."
"I don't think our relationships have deteriorated in any kind of extent," he told GlobalPost in a sit-down interview during his Chicago stop. He says Kenya is being advised by its "good friend" the U.S. to "increase the pace [of reforms], otherwise there's danger coming."
Kenya's prime minister says the United States is helping with health and food aid and the two countries are working together to stop the piracy threat in East Africa's coastal waters.
The strained relations have been evident since the deadly riots and street violence that took place in Kenya in late December 2007 and the early part of 2008 in the aftermath of a presidential election gone wrong between Odinga and incumbent President Mwai Kibaki.
Early returns and exit polls projected Odinga as the winner, but once the election was over, Kibaki had apparently won by more than 200,000 votes, to the surprise of many local and international observers.
That sent Odinga supporters out onto the streets to protest what they saw as a fraudulent vote tally. In response Kibaki's military police squads used strong-arm tactics to quell the violence.
Mayhem ensued for the next few weeks, resulting in some 1,300 people dead and the image of Kenya — a tourist beacon with a reputation for stability — severely tarnished.
Under international pressure to control the chaos, the two rival politicians in February 2008 forged a power-sharing deal at the behest of former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan and then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. After a few more months of haggling over the details, Odinga was officially named prime minister in April 2008, with Kibaki continuing as president.
But trouble may be brewing yet again in Kenya. Police and judicial reforms have been slow to take hold, Odinga admits, and reports of corruption by both Odinga and Kibaki are rampant.
There are also signs that the power-sharing arrangement isn't working. Observers say the government is plagued by inertia. Odinga complains he's being left out of the decision-making process and is proposing structural changes that give the power to run the government to the prime minister, with the president handling foreign policy and defense.
"It is not that there is anything wrong with the structure that has been introduced," says Odinga. "It is only the resistance by those that have been there not to respect [it]."
Kibaki's contingent, for its part, has accused the Odinga crowd of fomenting a coup, a charge Odinga himself is all too familiar with. The son of Kenya's first post-independence vice president, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, the prime minister spent most of the 1980s in prison for allegedly plotting a coup against Kenya's ruler at the time, the dictator Daniel arap Moi.
Things have reached a point where Johnnie Carson, the former U.S. ambassador to Kenya and now the assistant secretary of state for African affairs, made a trip to the country earlier in May to deliver a stern warning to the co-leaders that changes need to be made. He was quoted in Kenya's Daily Nation saying the U.S. was "deeply concerned and worried whether the events of the last several weeks were again a prelude to a round of instability," adding that "political tensions must not be allowed to turn into a political crisis, and a political crisis must not be allowed to turn into political violence."
Carson's words were straightforward: "We came here to warn a friend about our concerns." It is clear that instead of letting Kenya bask in a special glow because it is the ancestral fatherland of Obama, the new U.S. president is showing that he knows the situation in Kenya well and he intends to hold the country to high standards of democracy and economic management.

I am so productive when I don't have to go to work! I should be on holiday more often. In saying that, only nine weeks of school this term until the Christmas/summer hols.
Anyway, I have made two of the half circle borders for The Circle Game quilt. They were lying on the floor when I was at home last week and nephew Lucas said, "Hey look at all the semi-circles. Two semi-circles make one circle." And he proceeded to match them all up. How does an almost four year old know about semi circles? When I was home Lucas and I played numerous games of ludo and Snakes and Ladders with two dice which helps develop number knowledge ... it also speeds the games up! It can take a long time to get four counters around that ludo board.
The helpful lady at The Ribbon Rose in Ellerslie helped me audition numerous fabrics for the border. I am pleased with this choice. It's black (obviously) with cream coloured dots, which is good because the main background fabric also uses cream rather than white.
34 more semi-circles and it's done!

The Pets - Man's Friend or Carpet's Foe?
The word "pets" brings the ultimate sense of joy and happiness for everyone. People who love pets are quite interested in finding out how to take care of them and properly maintain the upkeep of their homes. Many of us consider pets a part of our family and we love them just like we love our families.
However, what we may not consider is the number of bacteria and germs that they bring with them. Whenever any pet animal enters our home, many different types of allergens, dirt, waste, and other harmful stuff comes with it. In the long run, this can cause serious damage not just to our carpets and floors but also to our own health and well-being.
We do take great pride in the way we take care of our cats and dogs. However, we also set very high standards for ourselves with regard to the way our homes should be maintained and the pristine condition they should be kept in. Hence, it is in our best interest to ensure proper cleaning of our carpets and keep them free of all types of foul animal odor. This article provides some valuable insights about the harmful stuff your dog is leaving behind on your carpet. Solutions with regard to proper cleaning have also been mentioned. Check it out and make use of the suggested tips to ensure a neat and clean home free of all pet hazards.
In spite of your best efforts to keep the paws of your pet clean, some bacteria and germs are bound to find their way into your home. This is exactly why your day-to-day cleaning activities have such an important role in the overall cleanliness and hygiene of your home. You can't afford to slack off too much with the daily cleaning processes.
It is all good to mop up and use the vacuum cleaner on a regular basis, and by "regular" we mean at least a couple of times every day. But it is highly critical to employ a professional cleaning service to clean your carpets after every three to six months. This is by far the most efficient and effective method of ensuring that your carpets are being kept thoroughly clean and free of all unwanted pet germs, bacteria, and contaminants.
Professional carpet cleaners love nothing more than to see your pets as well as your family clean, healthy, and happy. Look for a professional upholstery and carpet cleaner in your area today and reach out to them to ensure that your carpets are clean as a whistle and that pet dog or cat of yours can keep their tail wagging.
Important Tips for Getting Rid of Tough Pet Stains
There is a reason we so lovingly share our houses with these furry and loyal friends. They bring something quite special into our lives. As humans, we have developed a real attachment and association with our pets, so much so that their troubles can feel like our own and we feel sad or happy if our pets feel sad or happy. Their silly little shenanigans, undemanding affection, and unconditional love and loyalty are something that we really value in our lives.
Because of the way we share our homes with our pet friends, it is inevitable that their presence will cause some wear and tear of the home that will require regular cleaning. Upset stomachs, dirty paws, saliva, and accidents with regard to house-training are all part of the package if you want to keep pets in your home. However, these spots and marks do not have to be a permanent fixture on your carpets and floor.
Common Pet Stains and How to Clean Them Well
Clean up any loose dirt and spots with the help of an absorbent wet cleaning cloth. Thoroughly cover the stains and let a general cleaner work on it for at least five minutes. Blot up any extra cleaning solution with a clean, absorbent cloth and allow the area to dry before running the vacuum cleaner. It might be sensible to keep all children and pets away from these areas until you are done with the final round of vacuuming. This is to avoid any exposure to potentially harmful chemical substances that make up the cleaning solutions.
One way to keep the inquisitive little minds away from the under-treatment areas is to turn over an empty laundry basket on the spot and weigh it down with a few books. This will enable air to easily circulate to the drying part of the carpet while making sure that no untoward incidents happen with your little ones.
If not taken care of properly, the smell from "pet accidents" can spread through your entire home and become a serious health hazard. Therefore, it is best to get a professional carpet cleaning service to clean those pet urine stains because they will make sure that all odor and stains are gone completely. Professionals use an innovative process for removing pet urine that works by eliminating the crystals, thus preventing the smell from spreading. They also provide upholstery cleaning services because pet accidents can happen anywhere, not just on the floor or carpet. Bringing in professional carpet cleaning services at least once in a year is an important preventive measure for any household with a pet because conventional home cleaners can't get to the deepest affected parts and clean them. You need specialized services for that.

Please, let me know via email when the new review on this product is available.
If you are looking for a semi-powerful bullet to use occasionally this may be the toy for you. If you want something with more power and quality keep looking.
Charisma is a basic traditional-type vibrator that is essential for beginners and is also good for advanced users. It may be used externally or internally during solo play or with a partner, waterproof and is very convenient for traveling. I'd say it's a must-have.
It's a okay vibe, the velvet touch is nice, being waterproof is great, but I wish it had more powerful vibrations.
I would have loved this vibrator due to its texture, discreet sound and design, and waterproof nature. However, I just can't get over the fact that it's not nearly strong enough for me! Still, it's a pretty basic vibrator that would be good for beginners, although the gradation from low to high is very small and may not give a beginner an idea of what frequency of vibrations they like.
Great for any occasion, bath, solo time, sex, you name it. Water proof is an added bonus. Does not have the benefit of g-spot toys, but I love it for masturbation, especially when combined with another toy.
This is my favorite toy everyone should have one. If you don't have one purchase it and it will arouse your sex even more especially in the tub or shower!
The Charisma is a nice, basic vibrator: you can think of it as a short and slender traditional vibe, or a longer multispeed bullet. The texture provides wonderful friction, but no exciting shapes. It has a few quirks-- a no-slip grip that is more slippery than the rest of the vibe, a sudden increase in noise at the highest setting-- but it works well and looks adorable.
Great first vibrator! Great features! Does not disappoint, and is small enough to stick in your pocket for a field trip.
This little vibe is the best! If you are looking for a small discreet vibe for on the go fun, look no further! This is it! With it's silky smooth feel and powerful vibrations you'll want to take it everywhere!

During his recent visit to Ngee Ann Polytechnic, MediaCorp artiste Desmond Tan talks about new inspirations that keep him excited about acting.
By Darienne Sim
Living the experiences of the various characters he plays remains a magical magnet that keeps local star Desmond Tan, 31, glued to his career.
Tan, who was at Ngee Ann Polytechnic on Oct 25 to promote Korean makeup and skincare label Etude House's new Dear My Matte Tinting Lips-Talk range, met his fans at LT73A, and shared with npTribune insights into what makes him tick.
Discovered through local reality programme Star Search in 2007, Tan still finds acting as "magical" as it has ever been.
He says: "It allows me to live [as] who I am, and to live someone else's life, and to breathe under someone else's skin. That's something I can't quite explain. It's a magical experience."
To improve his performance, Tan finds inspiration not only in Hollywood actors like Christian Bale, but Asian ones as well. In fact, while raving about the 2016 Chinese drama, Hao Xian Sheng (To Be A Better Man), Tan says that Chinese dramas are not to be ignored.
"It kind of blew my mind. [The] Chinese [industry] is doing quality pieces, and to the extent that I would like to go to Shanghai after I watch that show. And the performance by Sun Hong Lei is just incredible."
He also finds it useful to watch documentaries, and observe people on the street, as he feels that there is a difference in "watching a real person do a real thing" and learning from them, as opposed to studying a fellow actor's performance.
Almost a veteran in local television, Tan plans to expand his reach overseas. He recently finished filming for an upcoming Taiwanese film, A Simple Wedding, slated for release next year.
"For the last nine years in my career, I've been working on local projects. And you come across these people again and again. But when I work with the Taiwanese team, I am surprised by their performance, their delivery, and that allows me to broaden my spectrum for performance," he says.
Tan says that while he isn't sure how his life may be in 10 years, he is confident that he will continue to act, and urges Singaporeans to support local television.
He says: "No one else speaks Singlish but us."
