It is true that the collapse of the art installation by Arne Quinze will be remembered as one of the flops of Mons 2015. However, to reduce the urban art displayed in Mons to this Flemish artist alone would be a deplorable mistake. Having designed and coordinated the opening ceremony for Mons 2015, Philip Kauffmann has added another string to his bow by taking care of all urban installations across the city. Initially, this was not really a specialty for the scenographer, but that did not stop him from taking the plunge, with the help of several big names in street art (Bonom, Momo or Ox) and the city's brand new look.
It is obvious from the locations he selected that he did not want to make the installations too ostentatious. "I wanted the works to surprise the people of Mons who were regularly using these lanes. I wanted them to pass by without noticing them at first…," explains Kauffman. The surprise will be even more dazzling. Go Rue d'Enghien to discover the work of Atelier Pica Pica. The collective spent some time strolling through Mons in search of inspiration, and eventually based its Panorama on memorable images from its urban wanderings: a shop front, a sign, a person passing by… The hieroglyphics by the Liege artists served on Mons tiles freshen up what used to be a much duller, if not cut-throat, alleyway.
Square Saint-Germain, just opposite St Waudru Collegiate Church, passers-by will be able to take "angelic" selfies of themselves. These ephemeral ego trips are made possible by Filip Gilissen's Spread your Wings. A stone's throw away, on Rue Samson, the installation by the artivist Ox features billboards whose slogans will become more and more hard hitting over time. As for those looking for something to read, they will have fun following La Phrase by Karelle Ménine and Ruedi Baur. They should watch where they are going though, while this 10-kilometre sentence takes them past lamp posts and over treacherous cobble stones and pavements.
Let it be known that, in 2015, Mons is focussing on its street cred, displaying an eclecticism that is both comprehensive and refreshing. Philippe Kauffmann has achieved his goal with his selection: he avoided "off-the-peg" mindless art, giving the public total freedom in understanding the installations. Of course, it would be hard not to see a mischievous reference in Elodie Antoine's Paresseux (Sloths) hanging from the trees on the university campus. The same goes for the Cascade bibliographique (Bibliographical Cascade) by Alicia Martin, falling onto Place Warocqué. There is another parallel Rue du 11 Novembre between the Hell'O Monsters eyeing the shack of Mons's mayor, Mr Elio Di Rupo himself.
Mons is not interested in intellectualizing art; rather, the 2015 European capital has chosen fun connotations to stimulate dialogue, with a desire to change codes. "I took inspiration from other festivals precisely so that I would not copy what I saw." Mission accomplished? You decide.
How long does it take to see all these works?
"I once completed the circuit in 1 hour and 17 minutes," assures Philippe Kauffmann. Difficult to question the words of the artistic advisor/director. Yet, in the case of an average family, a whole tour of the street art will take at least two hours, as they stray off the path or get distracted by other frivolities. Not really an issue in a city that is literally transformed. And if they are lucky enough to get some sunshine, ambling visitors will have all the ingredients for a successful holiday afternoon.
Don't wait too long, however, because the "contracts with the building owners run until September 21st," explains Philippe Kauffmann. After that, the works will go back to the wild. From then on, depending on the political good-will, their fate will be like a lottery: conservation, deterioration, destruction… That's what I call street art!

In 1930, in the village of Hindan, district Samghar Sindh, our beloved Swamiji was born, in the house of pious souls Shri Hiranand and Mata Moeta Bai, who was humility personified. She was the sister of Satguru Swami Sarvanand ji Maharaj. Blessed was He that He grew in the atmosphere of Sanctity and harmony.
Pooj Satguru Swami Haridasram ji Maharaj was given the name of Lalchand. As he grew he attended school, and received education in hindi and gurmukhi besides this worldly education. Everyday he dedicated quite some time composing bhajans, and studying the Holy scriptures.
Since childhood Swamiji remained in the company of Satguru Swami Teoonramji Maharaj and Satguru Swami Sarvanand ji Maharaj. God has definitely blessed Him to be able to live in the company of the Spiritual Master, under whose guidance he was to work and become the Master himself and guide us on, later. In 1951, at the age of 21 years, Swamiji realised that he had come to the Earth with a mission, so they renounced the world and decided to live a life of dedication. Swamiji was initiated by Satguru Swami Sarvanand ji Maharaj.
Since then Swamiji served the Master with ulmost devotion and faith. Swamiji, acompanied Swamii Sarvanand ji Maharaj during their trips in India and many foreign countries. In 1975 Pooj Swami Sarvanand ji Maharaj and their Sant Mandli formed by three persons Sant Hardas, Sant Manoharlal and Sant Arjandas, visited Las Palmas, Swamiji was received with great Love and devotion by his devotees. Swamiji requested their devotees to open such an institution.
In 1977, when Satguru Sarvanand ji Maharaj left for heavenly abode Swamiji´s looked after Amrapur Darbaar (Jaipur), they wrote their Spiritual Master´s biography, and translated this in Sindhi and English. In 1992, Pooj Swami Shanti Prakash ji left for Heavenly abode. Swami Haridasramji Maharaj, was named Gadeshwar of the Prem Prakash Mandal on the 30th August 1992.
They have been leading a life of dedicated service, they have forgotten themselves, and have no thoughts of rest or relaxation, they travel from place to place, spreading the teachings and advising everyone, to practise Meditation. Spain, Pakistán, Hong Kong, United Estates, South America, are some places where Swamiji have openend a lot of hearts.
On 26 th August 2000, after spending a good time with their premis in Spain, Swamiji left for Heavenly Abode from Lanzarote Island (Spain), but their true love and teachings will always remain with us. Now Satuguru Swami Bhagat Prakash ji Maharaj is their succesor, He is the present Gadeshwar of Prem Prakash Mandal giving to their premis all the true love necesary to full our hearts in service of Satguru Maharaj.

The one thing that anyone who's already married will tell you is how fast your wedding day goes by! Therefore, for me, it's so important that you spend as much time as possible with your loved ones and ultimately live every second of your special day. My style is all about storytelling. To be perfectly honest, most of the time you probably won't even realise that I'm there as I quietly fade into the background and document your wedding day naturally, as and how it unfolds. What you certainly won't get from me is someone who is constantly interrupting the action, bossing you and your guests around or taking you away for endless formal group shots!
At some point following your ceremony, after you have both had a well-earned drink, greeted a few guests and mostly importantly had a moment to breathe, we will take a little walk away from the crowd and spend a short time (20-25 mins or so) capturing some natural and relaxed couple shots. I am of course more than happy to offer a spot of direction here, absolutely nothing cheesy, rigid or forced though, just me capturing some lovely interaction between the two of you as you enjoy some 'alone time' together for the first time as newlyweds! When the sun goes down, and if you're up for it, I will grab a couple of my lights and we can quickly head outside to capture some of my dramatic, signature portraits ;-)
On your wedding day I want to focus on capturing your family and friends truly enjoying the day, providing natural, relaxed and fun images rather than taking countless posed shots of you and your guests all stood in a line, looking at the camera. That being said, if having a selection of group shots is important to you, I am happy to capture up to 6 combinations for you (close family, bridesmaids, groomsmen etc).
Where are you based? Do you charge for travel?
I'm based in Chester, Cheshire, in the North West of England but I will happily cover weddings across the whole of the UK and beyond! All UK travel expenses are included in the price. For venues over 2 hours (each way) from Chester, a £50 accommodation supplement fee will be added.
Which camera model(s) do you use?
I use the awesome Nikon Z6 and Nikon D750.
Will you bring any back-up equipment?
Yes. I shoot with two cameras on the day. Any photographer who takes their craft seriously should always carry back-up equipment.
In this case I would throughly recommended a pre-wedding shoot! These relaxed and informal shoots are a perfect way for couples to get acquainted with being in front of the camera before the big day. It's also a great way for us to get to know each other a little better and to have a bit of fun! You'll leave the shoot wondering what on earth there was to worry about! ;-)
Can you recommended any other wedding suppliers?
Yes indeed! I have worked with some wonderful suppliers over the years and I'm more than happy to offer recommendations to my couples if required.
Do you need feeding on the day?
As a wedding is a long (and often non-stop) working day for me, a hot meal and soft drink served in a separate room to your wedding breakfast would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
How long will it be before we get our photos and how many will we get?
Each one of your wedding photos will be individually edited in my creative, signature style and I work as hard as I can to make sure that your photos are ready as soon as possible without ever compromising the quality. During my busiest months, please allow up to 6 weeks for delivery. I never limit the number of photos that you receive but as a rough guide, you can expect at least 350 photos.
You will have full printing rights but as is standard in this industry, the photographer always retains copyright of their work. With this in mind, I kindly ask that if you receive a request for images from one of your other suppliers to please notify me so that I can send them any images directly. I am more than happy to share images with other suppliers free of charge, however, it's very important that all requests go through me so that I can explain my copyright terms to them.
How do we book?
If you would like to enquire about making a booking, please complete the form on the contact page with as much info as possible and I will be sure to get back to you as soon as I can. To secure a date, I require a booking fee of £400. This booking fee is non-refundable and will be taken off your final balance. The remainder of the balance will be due 8 weeks prior to the wedding date.
Do we need to meet up before we book?
This isn't essential but I do understand if you'd like to meet up before committing to a booking. My meetings take place in either a coffee shop or bar in Chester and can be booked between the hours of 10am and 3pm, Mon-Fri. Some evening appointments may also be possible, depending on the time of year. Please note that due to the amount of weddings that I shoot, I am unable to offer weekend meetings.
How far in advance do we need to book you?
ASAP! :-) Most couples tend to book me 1-2 years in advance of their wedding day and as you can imagine, peak season dates get snapped up very quickly!
Are you insured?
Yes, I have both professional indemnity and public liability insurance. I am also fully CRB/DBS checked.

Remember Danny Salazar's disastrous start to the 2014 season? (Yeah, we like to pretend it didn't happen either.) But thanks to his rediscovered pitch command, Salazar's stuff is more dangerous than ever
Whenever we talk about pitchers, we love to talk about 'stuff.' Pitchers with stuff tantalize and climb to the top of rotations. Pitchers without a great deal of it end up filling out staffs or settling into a relatively ambiguous bullpen role. Guys with stuff get all the second chances they need, in the hopes that they one day harness that stuff and become a true ace. In the world of pitching, the siren song of stuff is impossible to resist. Every pitching coach is Odysseus, only they don't have beeswax.
Danny Salazar has never lacked stuff. When he forced his way to the majors in 2013 and helped push the Indians to their first playoff berth in six years, he brought with him an electrifying fastball-slider combo that he complemented with a splitter to help him keep lefties in check. (A quick aside: Some people call Salazar's splitter a changeup. The effect is basically the same, but Pitch F/X codes it as a splitter, so we're calling it a split here). In a 52-inning stint with the big league club, he posted a 3.12 ERA, 2.75 xFIP and 65 strikeouts, positioning himself to be the team's ace of the future.
Against all odds, it turned out that he would need that aforementioned second chance. Salazar was so bad in the first half of the 2014 season that he earned himself a demotion to Triple-A Columbus for 11 starts. He simply couldn't find the strike zone, and when he could he got hit hard. In the first half of last year, hitters slashed .295/.364/.521 against him. Basically, every hitter he saw was Mike Trout.
When he returned after the All-Star break, he did so with the sort of command that had previously eluded him. No pitcher can succeed without fastball command; it is the bedrock upon which all pitching greatness is built. Fastball command is why Greg Maddux was the dominant pitcher of his era, despite a fastball that rarely, if ever, reached 90 mph. Suddenly, Salazar had that command. He cut his walk rate in the second half to 6.2% from 9.2% in the first half. That alone was behind his 3.50 ERA, 3.25 xFIP and 1.24 WHIP, all of which were significant improvements over his first-half numbers. He still had some distance to cover to put himself next to Corey Kluber at the top of the Indians' rotation, but the bedrock was in place. This season, he has started to build on that solid ground.
After a spring training speed bump landed Salazar in Columbus, and not Cleveland, to start the season, he has looked every bit the frontline starter the organization believes him to be. Through seven starts and 43 2/3 innings, Salazar has a 3.50 ERA, 2.46 xFIP, 1.08 WHIP and 60 strikeouts against just nine walks. His strikeout rate is nearly 30% higher than his walk rate and would be the best in the majors if he had enough innings to qualify for such a statistic, which he soon will. Coincidentally enough, Kluber is the current leader.
• MLB Power Rankings: Royals take over at No. 1, Indians surging
Last year at this time, Salazar had no clue where his fastball would go once he released it. This year, he's essentially placing it in the catcher's glove.
That's a chart for all of Salazar's fastballs thrown this season by zone. In short, he doesn't miss, unless he's missing with a purpose, which explains all those high fastballs, a go-to pitch for any pitcher ahead in the count. With that foundation, two of his secondary pitches have flourished this year. One, the splitter, is an offering he has always had, but has thrown more than ever, with spectacular results. The other, a curveball, is completely new to his repertoire this season. Both are responsible for taking him from a pitcher with a strong base for success to one who could be an ace for years to come.
Let's start with the splitter, because it's more integral to his success. Salazar is throwing the pitch 24% of the time this season, double what he did last year. It has a whiff rate of 29.5%, and has been strike three on 35 of his 60 strikeouts. Hitters have managed just a .136 batting average and .227 slugging percentage against the splitter. So, yeah, it's a good pitch.
One reason it's so effective is because Salazar will throw it in just about any situation. You already know it's his best strikeout pitch. Here it is getting strike three against Brian Dozier, a righty with pop…
…and Joe Mauer, a lefty who makes a ton of contact.
However, he doesn't just use it to get strike three. Here's Salazar in a start against the Tigers back on April 24 using it in a get-me-over fashion to start an at-bat against Nick Castellanos. It wasn't the best split he has ever thrown, but with Castellanos sitting fastball, it didn't need to be to get Salazar ahead in the count.
Salazar will also go to it when he's down in the count. He started against the Royals in Kansas City on May 5. He had a decent outing, allowing four runs on six hits in six innings, striking out seven and walking just one. Those numbers don't jump off the page, but he was dominant after surrendering a three-run, first-inning homer to Eric Hosmer. In that at-bat, Hosmer drilled a 2–0 fastball to put the Royals in front. The second time Hosmer came to the plate, Salazar fell behind 3–1. This time, however, he went to the split.
After taking that for strike two, Hosmer struck out looking on a fastball. It's hard to get any pitcher to take a strike three fastball in an even count. Salazar's willingness to throw his splitter at any time makes that possible.
Salazar's curve isn't nearly as good or important as his splitter. He has thrown it 46 times, or 6.4% of his total pitches this year. Of those 46 curveballs, 24 have been balls, 10 have been taken strikes, five have been fouled off, four have been swinging strikes, and three have been put in play. Here it is in action.
Salazar gets more velocity on his curve than most pitchers, with his average curve checking in at 81.1 mph. As you can see from the above GIF, he also gets great movement on it when he doesn't overthrow it. However, it's real value is in giving him another ground-ball pitch. Salazar got in trouble with homers earlier in his career, and he's still struggling in that regard this season, allowing seven in his 43 2/3 innings. On the plus side, his ground-ball rate, which was 34.4% for his career entering this season, is at 43.8% in 2015. The splitter does the heavy lifting there, as well, but the curveball carries its weight, relative to its general usage.
The stuff was a constant for Salazar. Last year, he learned fastball command. This season, he added a nasty out pitch, as well as another breaking ball to round out his repertoire. With all of those clubs in his bag, he appears on his way to being a frontline starter in the majors.

Simon Kinberg spoke with Variety about mixing the old "X-Men" trilogy and the "First Class" franchise, as well as the film's tone.
"There's a tone, it probably most closely resembles a 'Dark Knight' tone. It's a little more dramatic and weighted and almost operatic than any other superhero movie," Kinberg told Variety. "However, this movie has some lightness and humanity. It's a dramatic franchise that's hard to integrate into anything else. Licensing issues aside, Batman and X-Men are not going to exist together."
SciFiNow spoke with Brian Singer, who briefly discussed the online comparisons between Fox's X-Men franchise and Marvel Studios' Avengers franchise.
"It's not healthy for us," Singer told SciFiNow. "I'll tell you why: they're both comic-books and at some point you can expand the universes, that's where the comparison ends. The Marvel universes -- particularly Avengers and Iron Man -- are... and it sounds defensive, and it is defensive, but only because people make comparisons between ['X-Men: Days Of Future Past'] and 'The Avengers,' which is ludicrous. 'The Avengers' is a mash-up of massive single character franchises of incredibly familiar characters and Iron Man. And did I mention Iron Man? Oh, and by the way -- Iron Man.
"They are huge, colossal franchises that are peppered with all these other characters that are, again, extremely famous and so yes, Fox will at some point synergise [the X-Men] characters and that process is slowly beginning, but it's very different than taking movies that gross close to a billion dollars and then pushing them together into these giant broad movies. If you want to give me Robert Downey Jr. in a metal suit and have him join the X-Men, then yes, let's go head-to-head [with Marvel Studios]."

W & J Riding used Leyland vehicles of all types almost exclusively for the first 30 years of its existence from postwar through the 1930's, 1940's and 1950's.
Tom Riding recalls below.......
"In my opinion the 600 and 680 engines were supreme while the Leyland Beaver and Leyland Octopus were rugged machines built for hard work and endless pain.
The spares and service back up provided by Leyland at that time was also second to none, so all in all it was a winning formula for our company for many years".
1955 and with denationalisation well and truly behind them the good times had now really started to roll at W & J Riding.
These two superb 1955 registered Leyland Octopus Reg No's WTF 574 and XTB 198 were purchased brand new and ran for 10 years after which time they were then brought into the workshops for a complete rebuild.
Reconditioned engines were fitted as were new cabs and new 25' bodies, this time aluminium with wooden floors.
The original 900/24 wheels and tyres were replaced with 1000/20 Michelin 'X' tyres and 20' wheels.
Leyland Octopus Reg No XTB 198, registered new in 1955, is pictured here once again in 1966 after its rebuild.
All of W & J Riding's eight wheeler's were fitted with brakes on every wheel, something that Leyland Motors never did on the production line.
This prolonged the brake lining life and gave the vehicle an enhanced brake performance along with increased driver confidence.
Leyland Octopus Reg No XTB 198 Fleet No 25, registered new in 1955, is pictured here on a Saturday morning on the wash bay in the depot at Longridge in 1966.
These were the days before automatic drive through's and electric power washers when all the vehicles in the fleet were painstakingly washed by hand.

The first of many Leyland Comets arrived in 1955. Reg No VTF 658 was new in May 1955 while Reg No WTB 881 was new the following July.
Tom Riding continues below....
"WTB 881 was first driven by Bert Slater who eventually was made up to be one of the yard foremen.
Three years later he was given another new Leyland Comet, Reg No 750 FTD, which was later sold on to Charles Holt of Rochdale when we had finished with it.
WTB 881 always sounded different from the other Comets and was a great favourite of mine".
Leyland Octopus Reg No WTF 574, new in 1955, is seen here shortly before being rebuilt getting its feet well and truly soaked in the over flowing River Wharfe on the A659 near Otley West Yorkshire.
Tom Lambert was the driver on this occasion but the deep water doesn't seem to bothering him or the wading Leyland Octopus.
One of Tom Riding's all time favourite photographs shows Leyland Octopus Reg No WTF 574 after emerging from it's rebuild in 1966 complete with a full set of wheel trims and chrome bumper.
Tom continues below....
"The exclusive Woodward's side-rave on the body puts the finishing touch to the whole lorry.
Driver Norman Holland has made a superb job of loading the conveyor belts and has protected the side-raves from scuffing from the chains with pieces of belting.
He looks quite proud and so he should be".
Leyland Comet four wheeler model ECOs2/4R Chassis no 564513 Reg No YTC 320 was registered new in March 1956.
Driven by Jess Yeulett, who stayed with Riding's until his retirement, it is pictured here on Preston Dock after having just loaded up with a Lancashire flat.
With no twist locks in those days Jess can be seen roping it down.
Tom Riding recalls below....
This was the third Leyland Comet that we bought out of a total of fourteen that were acquired over the following three years.
These were good fast machines but in those early days suffered from constant overloading.

Driven by Jess Yeulett it is pictured here during the backbreaking manual loading of timber on Preston Dock.
In the background is the now long gone Preston power station along with the overhead gantry spanning the River Ribble which carried the coal from the dock side to the furnaces.

This stunning colour photograph shows on the right Leyland Comet Reg No 60 DTE Fleet No 40.
Registered new in October 1957, and driven from new by the late Tommy Bagot, it is seen here in the yard at Longridge.
Note all the sheets and ropes on the cab roof prior to loading up later in the yard with drums of triclorethylene.
On the left is 1948 registered four wheeler Leyland Beaver Reg No NVT 460 Fleet No 18 which was purchased, along with it's 'S' licenses, in 1954 when six years old from Preston British Road Services at Water Lane.
Riding's ran this vehicle for eight years as a draw-bar trailer outfit until 1962 when it was taken into Riding's own workshops and cut down and transformed into a 4X2 tractor unit.
Photograph courtesy of Tim Forrest.
Leyland Comet ECOS2/4R four wheeler Reg No 921 DTJ Fleet No 41 was powered by a Leyland 350 engine in line with a 5 speed gearbox and Eaton 2 speed axle.
Registered in January 1958 it was driven from new by the late Harold Swanson who later went on to form his own company with his brother Jack.
It is seen here in Glasgow 58 years ago loaded with asbestos pipes from the Turners Asbestos factory at Dalmuir for onward delivery to a location in the Northwest of England.
At that time Riding's were using a Mr David Vetters on a commission basis to load all their vehicles for the South which he did very successfully for quite a few years until Riding's opened a depot in Wishaw after which time they worked directly for the British Steel Corporation at Motherwell.
Leyland Comet four wheeler Reg No 900 FTD Fleet No 44 was registered new in 1958.
This was the last Leyland Comet of this type to be delivered and was driven from new by David Cronshaw a driver from Accrington.
Tom Riding continues....
"We fitted them all with trailer towing equipment and vacuum brake connections from new and at that time regularly sent them to Hillhouse works with a trailer to bring back 20 tons of trichloroethylene in drums which was then transhipped onto various other vehicles at our depot in Longridge.
In my time i only ever knew of one major Leyland engine failure and that occurred in Reg No DTB 914 which was going down the hill outside the Cross Keys Hotel at West Marten.
The driver seriously over revved the engine and the cam followers broke and pushed out the side of the crankcase.
Leyland had by this time modified the cam followers so they just gave us an engine under warranty.
Leyland Motors at this time were a first class firm".
A nice line up of five W & J Riding Leyland's seen here parked in the yard at Longridge in 1960.
Nearest the camera is Leyland Comet Reg No WTB 881 then Leyland Comet Reg No 900 FTD Fleet No 44 then Leyland Comet 750 FTD Fleet No 43 unfortunately the other two are unidentifiable.
Photograph courtesy of Tim Forrest.
Leyland Steer Reg No 880 FTF was a new addition to the fleet in June 1958.
Seen here parked in the yard at Longridge it is waiting to head back to Accrington were it was out-based along with Leyland Steer Reg No 868 LTJ, seen in the previous picture.
880 FTF would be later chopped down and converted into a Leyland Beaver 4x2 tractor unit.
Leyland Steer 16S/3 Reg No 868 LTJ, registered new in November 1959, was one of four Leyland Steers in the fleet at that time.
Tom Riding recalls below....
"It was all to do with the 'A' licence and trying to increase the carrying capacity of our fleet.
This machine along with Reg No 880 FTF were out-based in Accrington and were used on the Darlington changeover, with Albert Brown and Ken Wade the two drivers.
The picture above shows the Steer deputising for an Octopus and is massively overloaded but fortunately it doesn't show".
Registered new in 1959 Leyland Octopus Reg No 980 HTE Fleet No 49 was the first in the fleet fitted with a Leyland 680 engine.
Driven from new by Joe Masterson Snr it spent most of it's life on the Darlington change over.
Also Tom Riding recalls that this was the first vehicle in the fleet that would go up Sawley Brow, on the old A59, fully loaded with a gear to spare.
In this photograph we see Leyland Octopus Reg No 980 HTE Fleet No 49 in later life.
By this time it had been taken off night trunking due to the run requiring a larger articulated vehicle.
Allocated to general haulage work on days it is pictured here while coming into the centre of Thirsk in North Yorkshire to park up for the night.
When Leyland Was King!
This impressive yard shot, taken in the late 1950's, shows a few of the many Leyland built rigids and draw bar outfits that Riding's ran in those days.
But Leyland domination would be all about to change as within a few years of this picture being taken Riding's fleet would become dominated by Atkinson articulated vehicles as the late Jim Riding, who for years had been dead against articulation, finally relented and the rest is history.

Sometimes, it is just the little things that tickle my fancy. There is nothing like a death metal song being introduced by The Tall Man (from the Phantasm series for you non-horror nuts). It just makes that song that much better. I am so easy to please.
But, if you think that Funeral Whore does not have much more to offer than some references to horror movies, you are sadly mistaken. Funeral Whore can bring it with the best of them when you are talking gold old-fashioned death metal. The riffs are crunching. The vocals are from the lower depths of hell. Yes, my friend, this is just about the most evil music you can challenge yourself with.
Funeral Whore is basically death metal 101. It is death metal back to the basics. Think of Autopsy or Rigor Mortis and you will have a pretty good idea of what you are getting into. There is never a letdown of anger nor speed on Step Into Damnation, and after listening to just a few tracks on this album, you will indeed feel you have stepped into damnation (pun intended).
Overall, while Funeral Whore is not bringing anything new into the genre, sometimes that is a good thing, and this is a prime example of when it is right to just bring it old school.
Step Into Damnation Track Listing:
1. Eternal Genocide 03:14
2. Wasteland of Corpses 03:44
3. Obidience 03:58
4. Camp Blood 03:15
5. El Salvador Death Squad 03:16
6. Step Into Damnation 03:48
7. The Bitch Died 03:22
8. Pierce My Flesh 03:32
10. Failure of the Sacrifice 03:02
11. Buried in Hell

Southern Football League match preview
Round 9 - Provided by SFL League Management
New Norfolk v Dodges Ferry at Boyer, 2pm Saturday
Both teams displayed strong performances in Round 8 and will be keen to grab another win tomorrow to stay in touch with the top five as the middle of the season approaches. New Norfolk had a decisive win over Sorell, winning its second game for the season, while Dodges Ferry hung on for a two-point win over Brighton.
The Eagles had a slow start to the season but if the last two games are anything to go by they have returned to the style of football they are well known for and should be able to pull off a good win over the Sharks this week.
Dodges Ferry has also been showing their ability to contest in the early rounds, playing a close game last weekend and coming close to knocking off the undefeated Lindisfarne two weeks before that.
Both teams have proved they have the potential to challenge the best and are capable of a win at home or away. These teams are sitting right next to each other on the ladder, so it's an important win for both of them. It will be an interesting match to see who can prevail.
Claremont v Huonville at Abbotsfield Park, 2pm
This be a strong battle with the Magpies tipped to take out the points.
Lindisfarne v Hobart at Anzac Park, 2pm
It is widely tipped that Lindisfarne will remain undefeated this season after facing Hobart this weekend .
Cygnet v Sorell at Cygnet, 2pm
These teams are desperate for a win this weekend and it's going to be interesting to see if Sorell can lift its game on the road or if Cygnet can make up for the devastating loss against Lindisfarne last week.

Political studies grad earns international development grant
Posted on January 18, 2017 by Tia Lalani
Meet Augustana alumna Stacey Haugen (BA, '15) on her journey from Camrose to the International Development Research Centre, with international research and travel on her horizon.
Although it seems almost impossible, Stacey Haugen's path has only gotten all the more impressive since graduating from Augustana in 2015 with a bachelor of arts in political studies, both the Social Sciences medal and Augustana medal for highest grade point average, a full entrance scholarship to the Balsille School of International Affairs, a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada Master's Program Scholarship, and the prestigious Sir James Lougheed Award from the government of Alberta.
Armed now with a master of arts in Global Governance and a year-long grant contracted by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) in Ottawa, Stacey is continuing her research on improving circumstances for women in conflict and post-conflict zones, and continuing to make Augustana proud.
Equipped with an easy and contagious laugh, Stacey is more than willing to share her journey, describing the ins and outs of the various complex projects she has been working on over the past year, and conversing as an old acquaintance would, rather than a stranger with a staggering list of accolades behind her, and no doubt in front of her, as well.
While at the Balsille School of International Affairs, Stacy completed courses for her MA, followed by work on a policy project in coordination with the Center for International Governance Innovation (affiliates of the University of Waterloo and Wilfred Laurier University) where she presented on humanitarian architecture to Global Affairs Canada.
She also was invested in her own research centered on the role of NGOs in terms of gender relations in war times and post-conflict zones. Her results – that the funding structure of NGOs doesn't necessarily work for gender equity – was not surprising.
"The funding is often short term, from nine months to a year, and you can't really expect to make progress in gender equity in a year because it's a long term goal." Stacy noted, also mentioning that funding often necessitates concrete and observable objectives. "It's not like we can report back with 'we have changed everyone's mind about gender equality' in nine months" Stacy laughs.
Although Stacey discusses her research lightly, it's obvious how important the work is to her. After graduating from Balsille, Stacey received a grant through the IDRC to continue her work, but more specifically, research sexual and gender based violence in the Middle East and North African region.
Stacey's original proposal also involved interviewing Syrian refugees and displaced women living in Canada, but with a field research component written into the funding, she may have the opportunity to travel internationally to conduct interviews as well – something that she'd love to do.
With research grants a plenty and international travel in her future, Stacey remains thankful for her time at Augustana and the opportunities it afforded. She spoke of the many research trips, editing jobs, and conference presentations that she was a part of during her undergraduate degree with a still-present air of excitement.
"I got a lot of practical skills at Augustana that I ended up being able to use for other applications. Another thing was the mentors; I met a lot of other students during my master's that weren't able to have mentors throughout their undergrad like I did."
These mentors, who for Stacey were largely professors Sandra Rein, Janet Wesselius and Shauna Wilton, provided opportunities that would never have come up had she not been able to form close relationships with her professors.
At the core of the opportunities and mentors offered to Stacey was always good old fashioned hard work, something Stacey has never shied away from, and continues to rely on as her journey extends from Camrose, to Ottawa, and beyond.

It's Sunday! So let me help you come up with some healthy lunch box ideas for you and your family. Work/school lunches shouldn't be boring, and they most certainly don't need to be bought. So often we buy our lunches or turn to the over-processed nutritionally empty packaged options because we are out of ideas. So please, let me do the thinking for you!
I know what some of you might be thinking – if it isn't "I don't know what to eat", it's that it requires a lot of time. It's true, healthy living does require some preparation. But what can be more valuable than time spent toward good health? Your health is in your hands. Make better choices for better health!
I am so passionate about clean eating on-the-go. Food prep is my number one tip for a healthy week… Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. I believe nutritious food is more delicious than the processed junk, is clearly better for us, and what's more, it really doesn't need to be complicated. Make a big batch of something and dish it out throughout the week. Choose a few options and repeat!
Below are perfectly good meal options to include in your diet. Mix and swap vegetables as much as you can for nutrient variety and you are set for a week of vibrant energy! Whether it's an on-the-go breakfast, a packed lunch for you or your children, a mid-morning or afternoon snack, I have you covered!
- Bircher muesli/overnight oats
- 2 x small Spiced Coconut muffins
- Fruit salad with coconut yoghurt mixed with stevia to sweeten, 1 tbsp mixed seeds, 1 tbsp coconut flakes, 1 tbsp nuts, cinnamon and optional tahini/almond butter drizzle.
- Chia pudding
- Baked/regular beans with ¼ avocado and brown rice/quinoa (add greens to be extra kind to your body!)
- Make a smoothie on the go. See lots of options here.
- Two slices of Fennel Sunshine Loaf OR Buzzin Breakfast Loaf.
- 2 Breakfast Cookies.
Lunch options
- Homemade sushi using brown rice or quinoa, veg, avocado, tempeh/tofu. I also like to add kim chi and tahini!
- Mountain bread/gluten free wraps with salad, avocado/hummus/pesto & lentils/beans.
- Lentil Bolognese with konjac/zucchini noodles.
- Bean Burgers with salad and a tahini vinaigrette.
- Super Salad – 2-3 cups leafy greens and salad veg with 1/2 cup beans, 1/4 avocado and optional 1/2 cup sweet potato or quinoa. Homemade salad dressings.
- Tempeh/Tofu poke with green salad, or in a wrap.
- Mung bean pasta with pesto, sautéed veg.
- Quinoa, Black Bean, and Corn salad – keeps well!
- Rosemary & Sea Salt Seed Crackers with 2-3 tbsp hummus, pesto or avocado.
- Coconut yoghurt with stevia and cinnamon, small handful nuts and seeds, and 1/4 cup blueberries.
- Shredded carrots drizzled with 1 tbsp tahini, 1 tsp maple syrup, cinnamon + 4-5 walnuts, crushed.
- 2 x Bliss Balls
- Chopped veg – raw zucchini, cucumber, capsicum, celery, carrot – with Cashew Coconut Pesto.
- Raw trail mix – my favourite combo is raw almonds, walnuts, brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, 1-2 chopped dates + tbsp goji berries.
- Handful of homemade granola
- 1 x Choc banana muffin
- Sliced apple with cinnamon and nut butter of choice (or small handful nuts)
- Kale Chips with Tahini Cumin Dipping Sauce
- Nori sheets wrapped around vegetable sticks, avocado and tahini + Kim chi.

If you've been following the blog for a while, you've probably seen a post of two featuring Mouse.
Mouse has been with us for about a year and a half now, but she is still very confused about her identity. It probably didn't help that I named her Mouse – because obviously my cat speaks English.
Now, there are some things she does like any other cat. She sets on top of everything – especially things I don't want her to set on.
And she plays with just about anything she comes by – as long as it's new.
But honestly, she acts more like a dog than a mouse. She drinks from the toilet.
And she's mean in a fight. At least in a fight with my husband's hand.
And then in her spare time, she likes to moonlight as the Cat in the Hat and a Superhero… ok maybe I'm responsible for that.
Do your pets do anything weird?

Consultant / Auditor
Consultants, internal auditors and external auditors serve very different roles in a data center project, and all of them being vital to the project. A consultant for a data center project cannot be the auditor for the same project. An internal auditor can serve as an external auditor but only for organizations other than the one where they are employed to ensure impartiality. Below is a short description of the various roles and some of the high level requirements.
Consultants / CTDC
A consultant provides professional advice to companies who wish to achieve conformity to the requirements of the ANSI/TIA-942 standard. In a data center build project, consultants could serve a variety of roles such as technical advisor, designer, implementer, project manager and other important roles.
A TIA-942 certified consultant carries the CTDC (Certified TIA-942 Design Consultant) credential.
Internal Auditor / CTIA
An internal auditor is an individual who helps an organization, which could be the organization where the internal auditor is employed or another organization, to get their data center ready for conformity certification to the ANSI/TIA-942 standard. This individual understands the complete audit cycle and is able to help the organization to assess at the very least, the major non-conformities and ensure that all documentation and resources for the external certification audit are well prepared and allocated.
A TIA-942 certified internal auditor carries the CTIA (Certified TIA-942 Internal Auditor) credential.
External Auditor / CTEA
An external auditor is an individual who is external to the organization that wants its data center to be assessed for conformity to the ANSI/TIA-942. The auditor understands the full technical requirements of the standard in detail, understands the audit process and is skilled in seeking evidence for conformity verification. The external auditor is able to write a non-conformity report and review the potential fixes of the non-conformities.
A TIA-942 certified external auditor carries the CTEA (Certified TIA-942 External Auditor) credential.
Consulting / Audit Company
Consulting / Audit companies are companies providing consulting and/or audit services. For those companies offering both services to a data centre, it is important to ensure that the external auditor is not the same individual as the consultant. The external auditor is also not allowed to work for, or be related to, the company under the scope of the audit to ensure proper impartiality.

Information in its most restricted technical sense is an ordered sequence of symbols that record or transmit a message. It can be recorded as signs, or conveyed as signals by waves. Information is any kind of event that affects the state of a dynamic system. As a concept, however, information has numerous meanings.Moreover, the concept of information is closely related to notions of constraint, communication, control, data, form, instruction, knowledge, meaning, mental stimulus, pattern, perception, representation, and especially entropy.

Yippee! Project Complete
July 29, 2011 § 4 Comments
At 11:30 this morning I finished the last piece of art for ABCers !! – my next picture book with author Carole Lexa Schaefer. It comes out Summer 2012 from Viking. I can see my living room floor again. For the last seven months the floor has served as a viewing wall. It's so important for me psychologically to be able to see the book grow and the images develop in relation to each other.
It's such a rush to feel close to the end, everything coming together, idea flashes on waking (often at 4 am), details like puzzle pieces fitting perfectly. I figured out I have about 720 actual hands-on working hours in the project. More if you count my psyche pacing the dreamtime.
I can say this now because I'm done -well, there will be corrections and a few re-dos after copy-editing gets their feedback in- but there is always a point where I get down in the bog of it, thinking it will never end, I'll be stuck there forever and my life will be consumed by- as my good friend Patty describes it- the "Coyote/Roadrunner anvil" hanging in the air over my head. Close friends get calls during this time. Bless you, you know who you are.
I'm happy to know however, that this bog is a natural part of any project. I learned this recently from a book, SWITCH. Its authors, Chip Heath and Dan Heath call this stuck place the "valley" between the two peaks of the beginning and the end. Knowing this will happen with each book project now -not trying to prevent it- I can plan for it, stoke myself heroic even, and press on through the challenge.
The Heath brothers (Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die) have written another brilliant book. SWITCH: How to Change Things When Change is Hard (2010) I've been reading a library copy for the last 2 weeks and I have to say it's changed my life. At least how I think which is huge. Brightened up the final push of this project, that's for sure. Something just clicked. Ha! Yeah – like a light switch (another image from the book). Mostly it was focusing on what they call "bright spots," any small part or process that's working well, making you feel good, optimistic. A spark.
All the illustrations were done with Berol Prismacolor Art Markers and Prismacolor pencils on a recycled paper from France called "Speckletone." I've used the same paper in a number of children's books. (See my website: pierrmorgan.com ) The markers sink into the surface a bit creating a soft look, earthy and inviting.
I have to laugh about the markers and pencils being lined up here. I didn't style them for this photo. It's how I work. (The carpet is even white – in ten years it's only gotten one spot of blue paint.) I like to have things in order so I don't spend energy -like leave my chair- looking for tools. The markers are divided into warm and cool colors in box lids and I'm like a kid with the rainbow thing and the pencils. I did it with the 64 Crayola crayons too. A meditation.

One of the fledgling Barn Swallows has died. Don't know the cause. But at least it made it back to the nest where at night it is surrounded by the warmth of its parents and sibs. It has been two days gone.
Curious about the lifespan of these fliers, I found a site that has answered almost every question I've ever had about them. Ask The Exterminator – by Rick Steinau. Click on the "Like" button on any page you visit so he can continue to offer the information for free (requires a Facebook account). He has a long list of birds and critters with lifetime facts. The Swallow's average lifespan is four years.
And life goes on busy on the wings of strong hearts no matter the size.

Parachute Clouds
July 24, 2011 § 2 Comments
Before sunset yesterday a troop of strange cirrus clouds came floating across the inlet. Like parachutes or jelly fish in the air waving their long arms leaving dots of rain behind. Reminds me of the opening scene of the Star Wars episode "The Empire Strikes Back" where Imperial probe droids were slinking around the snow on the planet Hoth. Makes me wonder if the design of those spidery droids was inspired by a parachute cloud sighting?
In case you're thinking about skydiving now, here are some short, graphically pleasing education videos on air temperatures around the world and how weather changes.

Restaurant of the week: Mahjong, VIC
Our secret Melbourne food reviewer "Dishy Daisy" checked out this Cantonese gem and fell in love with the fried custard.
Fitzroy Street in St Kilda is a colourful area. I once saw Chris Lilley in the IGA there! I spotted Ron Barassi was on a tram I boarded at Fitzroy and Princes St. This one guy asked me for $10 because he cut his foot on some broken glass – he certainly had. All walks of life. All varieties of dining as well.
Max Tsang, owner of Mahjong, has therefore chosen to boldly effect his contemporary Cantonese cuisine at the top of Fitzroy just across from the start of Albert park. The space, formerly a car showroom, is carefully decorated. A fine collection of ornate teapots from China can be found discretely placed in barriers throughout the restaurant. Each of these barriers depicts a symbol, roughly translated as 'luck', and weighs about two tonne.
Max met me and the door and was excited to take me through his favourite Yum Cha dishes of the menu. He's clearly thought these through as what came to the table felt authentic from a modern angle. Tasty flavours were found in a selection of shrimp soup, won tons, egglpant with steamed chicken, scollops on greens with garlic, steamed beef in a mandarin sauce and finally a fried custard bun (best fried custard OMG). Each dish came with a nice drop of wine – so when dining don't be afraid to ask for a recommendation when walking through the wine list.
Mahjong is not crowded and raging like it's Fitzroy Street counterparts, not that it needs to be, yet it is sure to leave one feeling well dined and relaxed – maybe even a little pampered. We could ask for worse.

No matter what your fitness goal is, be it to lose two stone, to gain lean muscle or to run a half marathon, everyone can struggle with the same issue: staying motivated.
Flexible gym memberships allow you to train pretty much any time you want so you will no doubt already have the foundations laid to have access to all the resources you need.
Staying motivated to achieve your goals is a challenge in itself; lack of it is the most common excuse as to why so many people fall off the wagon. But by adopting a few tips and tricks and taking advantage of the latest innovations you can enjoy sustained motivation and smash your fitness goals to pieces!
Let's get straight to it…
When you have a goal, it's imperative you keep your focus on it and remind yourself why you set this goal in the first place.
Never underestimate the power of visualization – what is your goal? Perhaps it's to develop a dream physique? Or maybe you really want to win a sporting event?
Create a visualization board and pin images to it, which represent your goal. It could be a celeb bod you admire, a sporting picture or someone winning the marathon. Pin the board up somewhere you will see it every day.
A huge mistake people make when setting goals is to rely on other people to walk the path with them. This is setting you up for failure before you begin. The only person you can rely on is yourself. You are the one with the goal and you must have that fire to achieve it within you.
Know that only you can accomplish what you set out to and don't rely on a friend or work colleague to accompany you to training sessions, as if they quit, you're likely to do so as well.
There are so many choices available on the market today when it comes to wearable fitness technology.
Although they can't do the hard work for you, they can help to motivate you and keep you on track. Wearable fitness trackers can count your steps, remind you to exercise and track your workouts to name but a few benefits. They hold you accountable – some come with a hefty price tag too so you will have to make sure you use it!
Once you have set your heart on a goal, ensure you give it 100%. If you don't adopt the winner's mindset you may as well give up now. Dream, believe and achieve.
If you think you can, you will – and you are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to. Keep your eye on the prize and keep pushing on, enjoy a helping hand from technology if you need to, benefit from your Hussle flexible membership and when you hit the gym, hit it hard!
the point about 'only you can do it' is very valid. It is no-one else's fault if you don't train, eat too much or don't get outside for exercise. Only one life - treat it with respect.

Every once in a while, someone has to begin a new discussion about whether LeBron James will be considered a greater player than Michael Jordan when it's all said and done, with Charles Barkley being the latest NBA great to raise the subject. More
With 6'7 Gerald Wallace co-leading the league in rebounds per game this season (12.2), we remember the shortest players in NBA history to lead the league in rebounds. More

Cafe Panorama Laavu – A Scenic Café in Levi
Laavu is closed for summer!
Our new Café Panorama Laavu has been opened for the season 2016-2017. Laavu is located close to Levi front slopes. There is a 300 meter scenic path to the Laavu from the parking lot of Levi Summit. In the Laavu, you can enjoy for example hot drinks, crepes cooked by an open fire and fried sausages. The amazing views carry out all the way to Pallas fells.
Café Panorama Laavu's heart is the open fire. From the shelter of the forest, you can admire the northern lights in winter or midnight sun during the summer time. The Laavu's front wall is made of glass, so you are not exposed to the chill winter weather. Next to Café Panorama Laavu, you can also find a scenic tower, from where you can see the Lappish scenery even further.
Our waiter is there every day to sell savory and sweet treats and drinks. Café Panorama Laavu is open daily. On request, it is also possible to organize group dinners – how about our own Lappish miso soup or glow-cooked salmon? Laavu has a license to serve alcohol.
Seats: 40
Specialties: Views, glass wall, open fire, sausages cooked by open fire, crepes

Smithers Quality Assessment President Jeanette Preston was appointed to the Certification Body Focal role by the International Aerospace Quality Group, an international non-profit association under the Belgian law with office registered in Brussels.
The IAQG is a cooperative organization within the aerospace and defense industry comprised of three sectors (Americas - AAQG, Asia/Pacific - APAQG and Europe - EAQG).
Preston will serve in a leadership and advisory role for the IAQG's Other Party Management team. This group reviews new and existing quality standards to ensure they are in the best interest of the aerospace industry and are in line with the IAQG's commitment to ethics. As part of this appointment, Preston will also serve as Certification Body Focal for IAQG's Americas region.
"Jeanette Preston is a tremendous technical and strategic asset to our organization," said R. Darrell Taylor, chair of the IAQG registration management committee. "Her years of experience as leader of a certification body and her strong relationships with manufacturers around the world make her an ideal choice to represent the voice and conscience of aerospace companies as the IAQG strives to create and enforce quality standards that help drive our industry forward."
Currently, Preston has proposed a resolution with the IAQG designed to streamline the certification process and, as a result, save the aerospace industry up to as much as $10 million per year.
In addition to her duties as SQA president and her newly appointed IAQG responsibilities, Preston is Chair of the International Automotive Certification Bodies Association (IACBA) and a board member of the Independent Association of Accredited Registrars (IAAR).

... my favourite shade of "rose"
Another big weekend makes Liz a tired and grumpy girl .... but It was good, none the less. Both my big boys took part in the Mt Cootha 80km cycle challenge with my partner Christian taking 2nd place in his age division. Congratulations babe - so proud of you !
And last but not least, I wanted to share some news from last week. I am going to be attending the ISGB conference in July/August this year. This is very exciting, not because it's being held in Rochester, New York but also because I was awarded a scholarship to help get me over there. I am looking forward to being able to meet in person, on line friends whom I have only known over the Internet and on the beader's forums. See you at the Craft Expo - Liz x

Agents in the Anthropocene
The Master of Education in Arts warmly welcomes you to the symposium Agents in the Anthropocene: Trans/disciplinary Practices in Art and Design Education Today, which takes place at the end of January 2017. With this symposium we intend to explore the role of the art and design fields as active agents within the discourse about the so-called "Anthropocene." Special focus will be given to the notion of trans-disciplinary research—with its cross-pollination of art, science, design, media, ecology and different cultural disciplines—arising as part of the (critical) discussion about the Anthropocene.
Confirmed keynote speakers include: T.J. Demos (Professor History of Art and Visual Culture, UCLA, Santa Cruz; founding Director of the Center for Creative Ecologies); Alistair Fuad-Luke (educator, writer, activist, and Professor of Design Research at the Faculty of Design and Art, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano); Frauke Huber & Uwe H. Martin (artists, part of the collaborative art and research project World of Matter); and the artists Joshua Portway & Lise Autogena, among many others. In addition to keynote presentations, the symposium will include open call presentations (of exemplary practices and research from students, tutors, artists, designers, scientists, collectives and the like) and participatory brainstorming sessions.
Admission is free, but due to the limited number of available seats (80), registration is necessary. To register and for detailed information about the programme, please visit the symposium website.
Additional questions can be directed to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Realistic toys have women on a roll!
More and more realistic toys are being introduced in the women sex toys market. Realistic vibrators and dildos have helped women achieve stimulating orgasms. In true laymen terms, a dildo is an artificial erect penis which is used to provide sexual pleasure. A vibrator, on the other hand, is a vibrating dildo that is capable of providing mind-blowing and sensational orgasms to all the people who use them. Some vibrators are specially made with remote controls and various vibration intensity settings.
Both these products have been labeled by straight men as their biggest competition. They have provided women with an option of easy orgasms, anytime and anywhere.
Dildos are famously known as the classic realistic toy
Dildos are the oldest forms of realistic toys used by women. Past users have suggested to start with a smaller one and work your way up to a bigger model for a completely satisfying experience. Most of these products are designed exactly like a real penis, with stimulated veins to provide that added touch of authenticity. Crafted to look and feel like one, these products are tailor made to give orgasm after orgasm. We at AdultProductsIndia offer dildos in a wide range of shapes and sizes, making it easy for you to choose your own. Designed to feel like the real thing, the texture and elasticity of the product makes them a great first buy for sex toy virgins. With options ranging from flexible to floppy and colour variants including blue and purple, there are plenty of options for you to choose from. Made with either skin safe rubber or plastic, these products usually feature a pair of soft testicles and realistic veins on the shaft.
Women prefer realistic toys when it comes to sex because of the lifelike experience they deliver. The Handsome Dick is a simple and elegant dildo without any added features. The 15 cm magic stick is designed to imitate a real penis with balls, authentic veins and a conical head adding that genuine touch. This is probably the best looking artificial penis available in the market with its attention to detail in finishing and its fleshy colour. This product is soft to touch but solid as an erect penis that is capable or enhancing your sex life and give you ultimate orgasms. The Top Cat – 7 Inch Jelly Dong With Suction Cup is a realistic toy that is guaranteed to heighten your sexual desire and satisfaction. The realistic balls and veins make it the perfect addition to your adult product collection. This exciting baby comes in purple colour and is also included in the design is a suction base which makes it stand on its own on any flat surface.

Many other options are available for women who wish to try their hands at something new in the sex toy market. These products were tested and proven extremely effective at satisfying sexual urges of women.
Vibrators giving everyone a run for their money, quite literally!
Vibrators are the ultimate offering in the realistic toys department. Vibrators are basically just vibrating dildos and have gained popularity amongst the female population of modern India. Equipped with the power of providing multiple stimulating orgasms, these products have allowed women to satisfy all their sexual urges in one go. With your partner or on your own, a vibrator gives access to quick and easy orgasms for women, anytime and anywhere. There are a ton of options available once you're settled on the size of the dildo you are looking for. If you are looking for a product that causes intricate sensations or going for a clitoral stimulation, studying your product and its vibrations will go a long way. The power and the speed section with multiple speed settings make this product a must have for experienced adult product users. Women are bored of trying the same sexual routine with their partners and want to enhance their sexual life by adding a little vibration to it.
Some of these vibrating realistic toys are battery powered and made of skin-safe rubber or jelly rubber. Vibrators made from plastic are firm to touch and are specifically designed to enhance female orgasms related to the G-spot or the clitoris. The Top Cat – Realistic Tickle Your Fancy Vibrator is a penis shaped toy that is perfect for all your sexual desires. Although it looks and feels smaller at size, the product is quite capable of stirring some intense orgasmic sensations. Apart from being a fairly simple device, the multi-speed vibrator is also quite easy to operate.

Whether used to masturbate or while making love with your partner, this product is bound to stir up some amazing sensations and lead to an ultimate orgasm. The 24.5CM Vibrating Realistic Dildo is the dream product for women from all over the world. This baby is 24.5 cm long and 4.5cm wide, and is designed to reach and stimulate the deepest corners of your vagina. The balls, veins and flesh make it seem like a real, genuine penis bit the vibrating feature makes it even better than the real thing. With multi-speed vibrations at helm, this product is the perfect companion for experimentation.

Forget about thrusting it in and out with your hands, just place it on a flat surface and let the magic vibrations begin. There's always an added option of sticking it on the wall and playing with it in doggy style.
Realistic toys have been pleasuring women for a long time and it's about time you get in on the action too.
