The quest is called "Ranger Changer". Since this is your fifth fygg im guessing the you've been to Zere Rocks. If not the go north-east of bloomingdale and take the eastern road when it splits into two then keep going north. You'll come across a cabin. From there leave through the northern exit of the area and continue walking until you come across a cave. Turn to the right before entering and the cave and the Ranger will be there. Talk to him and he'll give you the quest.
For the quest you'll need a thief with the Toxic Dagger ability(requires a knife). Use Toxic Dagger on a Hocus Chimera then just let the poison kill it(you'll need to do this on 3 of them) if you have a mage that can take away their magic it would help since they tend to use midheal when near death.
Luiman04 (Expert) - 7 years ago
Rangers and Sages. You can't do this until later in the game.
nWoWhammy - 7 years ago
None of the vocations you unlock are by storyline, but rather doing certain quests.
Rangers are unlocked when you have gotten past Dourbridge.
I don't remember what the quest name is but, when you're going to Bloomingdale from Dourbridge on the map before Bloomingdale in the North-Eastern part of the map there is a cabin, go one map up from there and you'll see two NPC's one of them will give you the quest to unlock the Ranger Vocation.
To finish that quest you need to poison 3 Hocus Chimeras with Toxic Dagger and let the poison kill them.
Have you gotten the fygg from Zere Rocks?
Because if you did you should have passed the NPC with the quest to become a Ranger.
ReDDsHaD0w (Expert) - 7 years ago
Actually you can get the ability to equip bows even earlier in the game be completing the quest to become an armamentalist. However, this is hardly worth it just for bows, as they aren't sold this early in the game. Armamentalist Fources can be very handy at times.
CelestriaSlave - 6 years ago
Rangers, Armamentalists and Sages. All three of these Voctations can use bows. Level the bow skill up in each of them to get better at using your bow.
Emical_Fire - 6 years ago
Archer job. No.
Sage; Ranger;Armamentalist.
007Sniper014 - 5 years ago
There is no Archer or Bowman vocation. However Armanentalists can use bows. Its probably your best bet, Sage and Ranger come later in the game when you can be an Armanentalist just by getting the first fygg. After you rescue the "vocation changer" there will be a guy in red/orange. talk to him, he will give you a quest and when you complete it you have the vocation. Sage is far in the game along with ranger. Sage is found on a bookshelf.

Arrma Fury 1/10 Scale Electric RTR Short Course Truck w/ATX300 2.4GHz Radio System (Purple)
|Low Price:
This is the Arrma Fury 1/10 Scale Electric Ready to Run Short Course Truck. Short Course racing is raw, exciting, fast and fun. If you want a Short Course truck that is fast, fun and looks awesome, then the Fury is exactly what you need. The Fury is a Ready-To-Run, 1/10 scale, 2WD electric Short Course truck that will let you and your friends tear-up your local track, parking lot or garden. Designed for strength and super-quick battery changing, the 'Fury' won't leave you in a rage. It will leave you wanting more Short Course fun. Race the Fury against your friends and see who is the SC king on your block.
The Arrma MEGA ESC and MEGA 15T brushed electric motor are a durable waterproof combo that will let you run your Arrma Fury in all sorts of weather conditions. The waterproofed ESC means that even if it rains (or snows), you can keep having fun. Plus, the 15T brushed MEGA motor combined with a standard 7.2V NiMH 6-cell battery pack will allow your Arrma Fury to reach speeds up to 30+MPH! With faster optional motors and even more powerful optional batteries, your Arrma Fury will burn-up the street, parking lot, backyard or racetrack. 30+MPH is just the beginning! All this speed needs some serious control, and the included Arrma ATX300 transmitter is the only transmitter in the world that can be left-or-right handed with no disassembly needed. Arrma is all about fun and sharing, and the ATX300 transmitter allows you to pass the transmitter to anyone. With the simple press of a button they can change the angle of the steering wheel for maximum comfort and driving feel.
- The tiny ARX300 receiver will bind seamlessly with your ATX300 transmitter. If you want to, you can bind up to six different ARX300 receivers to each ATX300 transmitter.
- With your Arrma receiver safely shielded in the purpose-designed splash-proof receiver box, you can go drive regardless of the weather. Combined with the MEGA waterproof ESC and MEGA 15T motor, you and your friends can keep on enjoying your Arrma Fury when the going gets tough and wet!
- 'dBoots' Sandscorpion tires are fast, consistent, long lasting and give awesome grip, just where you need it. The specially developed rubber compound means that the tire wear is low, so you will have plenty of drive time before you need to re-dBoot your Arrma Fury!
- Four oil-filled, coil-over shock absorbers will keep your Arrma Fury under-control and super-smooth. Changing the oil thickness with optional oils and using optional springs will allow you to fine-tune your Arrma Fury to any surface.
- If 30+MPH isn't fast enough for you, then some of today's optional brushless systems will provide you with maximum power. Combine these with optional LiPo batteries, and your Arrma Fury could reach awesome speeds.
- The Arrma Fury comes with an oil-filled metal geared differential as standard. The metal gear transmission allows the Fury to handle the output of high power brushless/LiPo systems. Super-smooth and consistent performance is another reason why a geared differential is part of the Arrma Fury design.
- A slipper clutch is important to ensure you get just the right amount of power to the wheels. With the precision slipper clutch you can fine-tune your Arrma Fury for perfect off-the-line performance.
- High-grade materials have been used throughout the Arrma Fury, and the drivetrain is no exception. Tough steel driveshafts and output shafts, combined with the steel gears in the gearbox, mean that the Arrma Fury can cope with vicious power AND will keep going, and going, and going.
- The Arrma designers were asked to design a body that was beautiful and strong, and they nailed it! Polycarbonate is the material of choice for 1/10 scale off-road cars because it is strong yet lightweight and each Arrma Fury comes with a factory-painted "Salvador" body shell.
- The Arrma Fury comes with a twin vertical plate (TVP) chassis design, as standard. Unlike some other RTR cars, the Arrma Fury uses high-grade materials to make it perform, and look amazing. The Arrma Fury also uses an aluminum front bulkhead skid plate to offer protection from the roughest conditions.
- The Arrma Fury has been designed to allow the batteries to be changed without removing the polycarbonate bodyshell. This makes changing the battery quick and easy; Just slide out the battery door pin, open the battery door and replace the battery. It's that simple!
- Super tough hex hardware has been used throughout the Arrma Fury. Industry standard in the best RC models, you will need fewer tools, meaning maintenance and upgrade jobs will be easy and quick.

We often become rushed, distracted or tired during the holiday season, which is when home fires—especially cooking fires—are more likely to happen. In fact, Thanksgiving is the #1 day of the year for home cooking fires, followed by Christmas Day and Christmas Eve! Our top tips to make your kitchen safer: Always keep the area around the stove cleared of anything that can burn; never leave the kitchen when the stove is on; don't leave the house when the oven is on (not even for a turkey); and use a timer to help you remember to turn things off. Here are more tips to keep your kitchen and your entire home a place of joy!
- If a fire starts on your STOVE, most importantly do NOT try to move the pan or pot ... and NEVER use flour or water to try to put out a grease fire! Instead, carefully toss a lid onto the pan/pot or slide a baking sheet over it, and turn off the heat if possible. Otherwise, consider using a fire extiniguisher that you should always keep handy in the kitchen area—but only if the fire is small and it's not between you and your only exit.
- If a fire starts in your OVEN, keep the oven door CLOSED and allow the fire to go out on its own. If it does, wait a few minutes then open your windows and carefully open the oven door. It will be smoky.
- Whether the fire is on the stove or in the oven, if it's not going out quickly despite your efforts, GET OUT OF THE HOUSE to your safe meeting spot and call 9-1-1!
UNATTENDED COOKING is the top cause of fires and fire-related deaths around the holidays. Always remember to...
- USE A TIMER. It's easy to forget you have the stove or oven on, especially once you sit down to enjoy your feast or the big game.
- STAY WITH THE STOVE. Always stay in the kitchen whenever you are cooking to keep a close eye on the stove. Never leave your house when you have food cooking in the oven – not even a ham or turkey! Keep the handles of your pots and pans TURNED BACK AWAY FROM THE EDGE of the stove so they aren't knocked or pulled down.
- CLEAR THE AREA: Even when the stove is off, but ESPECIALLY when it's on, keep the area around the stove completely clear of flammable items such as hot pads, paper towels, cookbooks, and decorations.
- KEEP KIDS BACK. Always keep children at least 3 feet away from a hot stove top. Move knives well out of their reach when preparing or serving food. Don't let kids too close to hot dishes or liquids, such as gravy and coffee.
- CAUTION WITH CORDS. Be sure cords from electric knives, coffee makers, plate warmers, and mixers are not dangling off of the counter. Adults may accidentally snag these dangerous items, and children or pets may be tempted to pull them down.
- KNOW THE RISKS OF TURKEY FRYERS. Turkey fryers use a lot of cooking oil at high temperatures, and there is a significant danger that hot oil will be released during cooking. Additionally, the burners that heat the oil can ignite spilled oil. To reduce the risk of a turkey fryer catching your home on fire, only use it with great care on a flat surface in the open, well ventilated outdoors. Keep fryers off decks, out of garages and a safe distance away from trees and other structures.Make sure the turkey is thawed and dry before cooking—ice or water that mixes into the hot oil can cause flare-ups. Choose a smaller turkey up to 10 pounds.
- Fresh trees are less likely to catch fire. When shopping for a live tree, look for one with vibrant green needles that are hard to pluck and don't break easily from the branches. The tree should not be shedding any needles yet when you buy it!
- Before placing the tree in the stand, cut 1-2" from the base of the trunk.
- Add water to the tree stand EVERY DAY!
- Some lights are only safe for indoor or outdoor use, but not both. Use ONLY OUTDOOR LIGHTS on live Christmas trees.
- Always turn off Christmas tree lights before leaving your house or going to sleep.
- Position the tree away from exits and at least three feet away from any heat source.
- Visit www.PflugervilleTx.gov for information on the City of Pflugerville's chipping program.
- It is against both Fire Code and Electrical Code to use temporary electrical power (such as extension cords) or to display holiday lighting for more than 90 days. This is also addressed in the Caution label attached to most holiday lighting.
- When hanging holiday lights, use clips – not nails – to hang lights so the cords do not get damaged. If you need to use a ladder, work with a partner on the ground for safety.
- Replace any strand of lights that has worn or broken cords or loose bulb connections.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the maximum number of light strands to connect.
- Keep lit candles away from decorations, curtains and other things that can burn. Choose decorations that are flame resistant or flame retardant. Locate candles away from windows and doors so your exits aren't blocked if their surroundings catch fire.
- Keep matches and lighters out of children's reach – ideally up high in a locked cabinet – and do not leave children or pets alone in a room with a lit candle.
- Lights out at bedtime! Blow out candles whenever you leave the room or go to sleep.
Before you curl up with a good book and a cup of cocoa by the fire, be sure to get your chimneys cleaned/inspected by a professional every year and your heating equipment inspected. Here are other steps your family can take to stay safe and cozy this winter:
- Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from fireplaces and portable space heaters, including decorations, rugs, curtains, pillows, baskets, and books. Likewise, follow the 3-feet rule for kids and pets to help keep them from getting burned.
- All types of fuel-burning equipment should be vented to the outside of your house to avoid carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. CO is a deadly gas that's odorless and colorless. If you have ANY TYPE of fuel-burning equipment for heating or cooking in your home, including both wood and gas fireplaces, stoves, and ovens, you should install at least one CO detector on every level of the home. Remember to test your CO detectors each month and change the batteries every 6 to 12 months, just like you should do with your smoke alarms!
- Ensure your fireplace has a sturdy screen to stop any sparks from flying into the room. Ashes should be cool before putting them in a metal container; keep that container a safe distance away from your home.
- Always turn off space heaters when you leave the room and when you're going to sleep.
- Never use an oven to heat your home.

I am wanting to include several derived layers in aCadence 6.1 techfile and here are my quiries
(1) Is there any documentation on this tschfile class? So far all i been able to get (online serach) is a 2006 presentation by Cadence
(2) Can one perform sizing in addition to boolean on layers?
(3) Does the class create actual layers when the boolean is satified and will the derived layer stream out?
1. In your installation directory <install_dir>/doc/ascitechfile/ascitechfile.pdf <install_dir>/doc/techfileuser/techfileuser.pdf Look for 'techDerivedLayers'.2.

"They should experience what it is like to feel you are choking"
About: Royal Bournemouth General Hospital / Gastroenterology Royal Bournemouth General Hospital Gastroenterology BH7 7DW
Posted by Jannetta (as ),
I decided before my gastroscopy that I wanted sedation, but I allowed the health care worker who saw me before the procedure to talk me out of it and convince me not to have it. That was a hideous mistake. The procedure was the worst experience of my life to date. I was traumatised for the rest of the day. Before any health care worker is allowed to talk people out of having sedation, they should themselves experience what it is like to have a tube down your throat and feel you are choking.
Response from Sue Mellor, Patient Experience Lead, Royal Bournemouth & Christchurch Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust 3 years ago
Dear Jannetta
We appreciate that you took the time to offer this feedback. Please know that because we take this so seriously I have already spoken with the unit Sister who wanted you to know
"'During admission to the endoscopy department we give patients the opportunity to discuss the benefits and draw backs of receiving sedation during their procedure. On signing your consent form you would have been told that you could withdraw your consent at any time before or during the procedure, and once discussed with the Endoscopist there is the possibility of having sedation if the criteria is met (I.e. someone to accompany you for 12 hours post procedure, not working/driving for 24 hours after).
Patient choice is something we take very seriously and this needs to be respected. I will ensure this is raised with all the unit staff at our meeting tomorrow and they are extra vigilant when explaining the options to all patients"
We want our patients to have the best experience possible with us and I am sorry that you feel that you were overly encouraged into having your gastroscopy without sedation and not well informed. We have obviously not attained the standard we set for ourselves and let you down. If you would like to discuss this any further please contact our PALS, on 01202 704886

As was evident last month before the onset of any hostilities with Iraq, uncertainty has been driving up the price of fuel. Published reports had fuel-industry experts talking of a pecking order for access to jet fuel. As the world's largest single user of the product, the U.S. military gets first crack at it–not just for its airplanes but for tanks and other vehicles. Airlines were ranked next on the order, implying that other users lower down on the scale could be left hunting for crumbs from the table.
Will business aviation feel the squeeze? NBAA president Jack Olcott suggested a history lesson: "We can look back and say we were able to get back into the air in 1973 after President Nixon lumped us in with snowmobiles, and we were not severely restricted in 1991 [by Desert Storm]. We anticipate that the acceptance of our community is greater now than it was at either of those times."
General Aviation Manufacturers Association president Ed Bolen said: "There are valid causes for concern, but we have seen nothing to indicate that there will be any policy based on allocation. We anticipate that the market, rather than a system of allocation, will be allowed to dictate availability."

Taxes, Transfers and the Distribution of Employment in Mexico
The informal sector accounts for a substantial fraction of employed population in Mexico and other Latin American countries. In this paper we study the interaction between the tax and transfers system and the size and composition of informal sector. To do that we build a search model that can be calibrated to the Mexican data. Our model features two employment statuses: employed and unemployed; and two sectors: formal and informal. We estimate our model to data from Encuesta Nacional de Ocupaci ́on y empleo (ENOE) by simulated GMM. Then we perform three different policy analyses: changes in the distribution of the transfers between formal and informal sector workers, changes in the size of the transfer system, and changes in the progressivity of taxes and transfers (pending). Our model is able to capture key features of Mexican labor markets, such as the distribution of the labor force across sectors and the distribution of accepted wage offers. Dividing transfers equally between formal and informal sector workers increases the size of the informal sector by 5 percentage points, it also increases average wages in the formal sector by 6% whereas wages in the informal sector fall by 4%. When we double the size of transfers, the size of informal sector falls by 5 percentage points. However, it has a big effect on the distribution of accepted wage offers: average wages increase by 10% in the formal sector and they raise by 16% in the informal sector.

So, me and this guy had a friends with benefits thing about a month ago, and now we barely talk. He told my best friend that he was scared of rejection, but he was willing to try with me. He still hasn't talked to me about it, so I was wondering if I just walked up and kissed him; how would he react? Would I be able to tell if there is still something between us? Please help!
Most Helpful Guy
I agree that it is a good idea. If he is shy he might instantly pull away though. I'd still try it anyway.
I'm going to play devil's advocate here a bit as well though. If you aren't totally sure that he likes you, you might want to know if it is his first kiss or not. I think that would be a little awkward for him if he didn't like you. Since you think he does though, go for it.00|00|0
Oh! And a breath mint before hand for good measure. ;)
Thank you! I am pretty sure that I am going to give it a shot.

In the last 10-15 yrs, the card usage has replaced cash transactions to a big level at least in urban India. We no longer go to banks to withdraw cash. Almost everyone prefers to pay by cards when we visit malls, grocery shops or when we fill petrol in our cars.
Increase in Card Frauds
While the ATM/Debit/Credit card usage has increased, so has the frauds related to the cards. Most of the times, the card frauds happen due to negligence of the card holder. In this post, I will talk about several things you should keep in mind which will safeguard you against a fraud or any crime which can potentially happen. The things we talk in this article will be for ATM cards, debit cards, credit cards and even internet banking transactions.
1. Destroy the CVV number on the back of the card
Once you have used your ATM card several times, it's suggested to scratch the CVV number on the back of the card. Almost everyone will memorize the 3 digit CVV number once they have used it 5-10 times. You can also write down the CVV number in your mailbox and email it to yourself if you want to record it at some place.
While this will not make you fully protected from a fraud, but it will surely reduce the chances.
2. Change the PIN as soon as your receive the card
Once you receive your card for the first time, it's suggested that you activate it asap and then change the PIN. Try to avoid keeping the PIN's which resemble your birthday, pincode or phone numbers. Make it a random number or some combination which you can relate to.
If you do not change your default PIN which the letter contains, it might happen that someone looks at it and misuses your card, given they have access to it. That's the reason you should also destroy the old password document.
3. Activate SMS Alerts for any amount above ZERO
It's suggested to activate the sms and mail alerts for all transactions.
If you do not want any sms for a specific amount like Rs 500 or Rs 1000, then you can setup the alerts above that amount, but make sure you do it. A lot of people who come from old generation like our parents, uncles etc are new to these card payments and do not activate these features. Please do it for them
4. Keep the customer care number saved on phone
It's always a good idea to store your bank/card customer care numbers on your phone, so that you can inform them about any fraud or issues as soon as they happen.
Imagine you lost your card and you are thinking – "Once I am back home, I will call customer care and share about this incident so that they can block my card". This is not a great situation, because within few minutes, the who has the card can swipe it and use it (given he knows other details)
Better avoid being late in informing about the incident, because once the money gets debited from your account, then matter becomes complicated and you will spend lot of times in fixing the issue and following up
Prevention is better than cure …
5. Avoid using the ATM in night or places which are not safe
There have been instances where I wanted to withdraw cash from ATM around night-time, and my wife always tell me that we can always do it next day in the morning, because it's better to avoid ATM's at night especially when it's not an emergency.
I think that makes sense.
While, out of 100 times, 99 times nothing will happen. But then that one bad incident is what you want to avoid..
I am not saying that never use the ATM in night, but as far as possible, try to refrain using your cards at night at lonely places, because you never know who is keeping an eye on you..
Here is a video from Bangalore, where a 38 yrs old lady was attacked by a guy inside the ATM. Something like this is very much possible to happen if you take things lightly at night when it's lonely.
Hence, if are going back to home in midnight and thinking of withdrawing cash from an ATM which is located at a lonely road, I suggest that you avoid it unless it's emergency. It's always safer to come back in morning and withdraw the money from ATM.
6. Don't let any once enter the ATM while you are using it
If there is only one single ATM machine inside the room, then don't allow anyone enter the ATM when you are using it. You can directly tell the person to enter the room once you have used it.
At times, People are not civilized enough to understand that ATM usage is a very private activity and they should not enter or look at your screen.
7. Never leave an incomplete transaction
There are many ATM frauds which has happened because the person left without completing their transaction. You should never leave ATM screen unless the "welcome screen" appears back.
There are cases, where the computer hang in between the transaction either because of a technical issue or because someone had done some trick to it. Always press the cancel button once you are finished or sense that there is some issue.
Below is an excerpt from a report from Indian express which shares more details about keypad jamming fraud in ATMs.
Keypad jamming fraud
The risk department of the banks have termed it so because the modus operandi of defrauder involves jamming both the 'Enter' and 'Cancel' buttons on the ATM machine by applying glue or by inserting a pin or blade at the edge of the button. So when the customer tries to press the 'Enter/OK' button after entering his ATM PIN, the key does not function and the customer can't proceed with his transaction. At this juncture the customer thinks that the machine is not working and tries to cancel the transaction, which also does not go through as that button is also jammed. Thinking that the transaction is cancelled, he leaves the ATM machine.
As soon as the customer leaves or is prompted to visit the nearby ATM machine, the fraudster takes over the machine and since the transaction is active for around 30 seconds in most cases (some banks have reduced it to 20 seconds), he keeps the transaction active by pressing some functional buttons and in the meantime removes the glue or pin from the 'Enter' button to go ahead with the transaction. The fraudster then withdraws the cash from the customer's account, leaving the customer unaware of the fraud till he checks the message from the bank.
If your ATM screen is hanged or incase of any issues, make sure you contact the security guard or at least call the customer care while you are inside the ATM.
All ATM's have cctv machine and it will record your activity which will help you later in case of any problem or dispute. Here is a real life case of how ATM fraud can happen from a fellow blogger BasuNivesh.
8. Never share your debit card PIN when you shop
When you go to Petrol Pumps to fill your car or while you are dining at restaurants, try to avoid sharing the ATM PIN while making the payments. A lot of people let others enter their PIN, because they don't want to walk all the way to swipe machine.
I prefer to walk down and enter the PIN myself or ask them to bring the swipe machine near me.
While it surely adds to convenience by sharing the PIN, but it also exposes you to the risk of debit/credit card fraud. No one is stopping the person who has your card to note down your card number, expiry date, CVV number (most of the people don't scratch it) and write down the PIN you shared with them. In some extreme cases your card can be swiped to skimming machine to steal the information and duplicate the card.
A lot of people think that just because someone has their card details, they are still secured because the OTP comes to their mobile or the 6 digit extra password is asked while doing transaction online. However, they are mistaken.
While one will surely fail while doing the transactions in Indian websites, they will succeed while using the card on international websites, because OTP is not sent there. Also that extra layer of 6 digit password is not asked while doing transactions at many websites outside India.
9. Never share your PIN, OTP , CVV and other sensitive details
My father in law is a senior citizen and despite being a bank employee for many years – I can clearly tell you that even he might fall prey to many online frauds related to banks because he is very new to these card payments and internet banking. He belongs to that old era and his banking is very different than the today's banking.
Like him, your parents, and grandparents and in laws will surely be from the generation who does not understand very well how these online things work.
When they get a call from someone who says – "I am calling from Bank and …", for them it's a genuine call and they can't tell a difference between fake call and a genuine one. And they are always on the list of fraudsters.
There are various online frauds going on these days, where a person poses as a bank employee and then scares the person on other end saying things like
- "This is a verification call from bank, please share the OTP which has just come on your mobile"
- "You will now get a new card because the old one is cancelled, please share the 3 digit on the back of the card to approve this"
- "We notice that a 20,000 transaction has happened just now, did you do it? Please share an OTP which has come to your mobile to verify that you are the card holder"
Listen to this YouTube conversation, where a girl is posing as SBI staff and trying to get information. Imagine if your parents or some senior citizen gets this kind of call, how will they react?
Here is a good FAQ related to fraud protection related to cards from ICICI bank
10. Don't expose the cash withdrawn from ATM
I have done it few times, and I now understand that it was a mistake.
When you take out cash from ATM, if it's a big amount – many times few people come out of ATM holding the bundle of cash without realizing that someone might be watching them.
It's always suggested to keep a bag with you and put the cash inside it or at least keep the cash in your wallet or pocket till you reach your car or home. There might be many bad elements nearby and they will keep an eye on you. They might be behind you and later they may attack you. What they show in CRIME PETROL actually happens in real life too 🙂
Don't get Paranoid
While it's suggested that you should be alert and careful while using your cards or internet banking, but I would like to also add that you should not become paranoid and start behaving like a maniac :). You should judge the situation and use your presence of mind when someone is really being helpful and when someone is trying to trick you.
Please share any other tips or suggestions which I have not added above.

The Swedish study found that sons and brothers of sexual offenders are five times more likely to commit a sex crime than unrelated males. The researchers suggested that the findings could help prevent future cases of sexual assault.
The study published in the International Journal of Epidemiology analyzed data from 21,566 Swedish men convicted of sex crimes between 1973 to 2009 and found a higher risk of committing sexual assault in men who are related to sex offenders with 2.5 percent of brothers of sex offenders convicted of similar crimes compared to the 0.5 percent increase in average men.
The researchers noted that while the results indicate a link, this does not mean that brothers or sons of sex offenders are doomed to become perpetrators themselves.

I am fairly new to this but travel a bit and have seen different kinds of Mesquite. We are up in West Texas and have lighter colored Mesquite. Down in south Texas they have a dark red Mesquite. Does anyone know if there is a flavor difference?

From a distance Pat watched as Queequeg walk toward them, his skin glowed in the setting sun. Striped down to his black Speedo, with an obscene bulge jetting from the crotch he proudly displaying the blue/black tribal inking that ran the length of his body.
'Do you find the tattooed hulk sexy? Look how his muscles flex when he walks...undulating, like a tsunami, smooth and swift...Tom, how do you feel about Queequeg?'
Tom's chest swelled up and his face got darker. 'What the fuck ya mean...how do I feel?'
Travis' antenna perked up. He had anticipating something diabolical was fermenting in Pat's head but never would have imagined, even in his wildest nightmare, Pat would try something involving Tom. A chill ran up his spine, Queequeg over powering Tom and having his way with him, the entire thing caught on camera. No doubt about it, the studio would make a killing from the video release. However much the video brought in it would be chump-change compared to the live cam showing with over a million worldwide subscribers.
'Hey big guy!' Pat said. 'Sit down and take a break, I'm sure you've been working your ass off...and the asses of my crew!' Pat handed him a fresh joint. 'The good stuff, Ty-Gold with a little kiss of hash...courtesy of our good buddy Tom.'
Queequeg smiled at Tom and said. 'You always got the best connections...real radical shit. So tell me how things been going with you?' Queequeg put his hand on Tom's shoulder.
Pat's eyes were like glowing green embers as he watched his Maori warrior turn up his seductive charm. Tom was out of his element and unsure how to react, small talk continued in a perfunctory routine with little interest or knowledge of what was being said. Pat watched Tom's face with anticipation, searching for that foible in the human condition that would betray his inter thoughts, leaving the soft underbelly exposed to his raptor-like seducer.
Pat imagined the questions racing in Tom's head: how would he hold up in a fight with Queequeg, would he provoke a fight or jump him, had Pat put him up to it?
Hesitantly Tom reached for the joint; with lighting quick reflex Queequeg wrapped his long fingers around Tom's hand. Surprised, he tried to pull his hand back from the iron grip, panic flashed in Tom's eyes and everyone watched to see if his reaction would be Fight or Flight.
The tattooed hulk grinned and locked eyes with Tom. 'Hold on! Let me give you a shotgun...Pat says I do it better than anybody...Ain't that right Hoss!'
'Got that right big guy.' Pat was fascinated seeing the size difference in their hands. Tom wasn't a small man; yet, when compared to Queequeg it looked dwarf size.
The tattooed giant took a super drag and passed the joint to Pat. Next he coned his hands around Tom's nose and mouth and slowly released the smoke. Tom felt small with his face wrapped by two massive hands, he thought it might be a test, one of many to follow that night, and Tom was determined not to loose his cool, bitch-out and draw away before all the smoke was exhaled.
'Damn boy! You got some heavy-duty lungs.' Queequeg smiled in Tom's stoned face. 'You okay, seem a little wobbly.' With his right hand firmly locked on the back of Tom's neck, he used his left hand to explore the hard body, running his hand up the shirt feeling the deep cuts of sculptured chest. Tom was in an undead-like state, physically and verbally unresponsive, except his probing eyes, they followed the tattooed hulk as he explored his body. Getting bolder, Queequeg started groping Tom's crotch and chuckling when he felt a boner.
He looked over at Pat and got a nod so he eased Tom down on the carpet and straightens out his legs. With the dexterity of a surgeon his large fingers had Tom undressed in seconds, with his pants and boxers down to his knees and his shirt open. Queequeg leaned forward and swallowed the entire nine-inches of thick cock.
Armed with a digital camera, Pat danced around the hot action snapping pictures like a director, giving Queequeg praise and instructions as he took shots from every angle. Pat reached in his shirt pocket for one of his infamous little suppositories and tossed it on Tom's washboard abdomen.
'Let just cut to the chase Queequeg...shove that fuck-bullet deep...we'll have this hot macho-man moaning like a cheerleader getting dicked by the team under the bleachers.' Pat stood over Tom, the camera inches from his raging hard meat stick. 'Skin it back...yeah, damn that's a fine looking cock head. Now finish stripping him and raise his knees up so we can see that soon to be departed cherry ass.'
Travis hadn't made a sound, he was in complete shock and his big blue eyes expressed it all. 'Pat, I hope you know what you're doing...the man will go ballistic when the drug wares off. By the way I saw you spike his drink...pretty slick, he didn't suspect a thing. What was that shit. Something new? He's like a zombie'
Pat said. 'My friend with Aztecs Productions in Venezuela sent it to me...shit grown everywhere down there...people have used the stuff for centuries. It's similar to scopolamine, except the Vic doesn't remember a thing...' Pat chuckled. 'However, the pain in his throat when he swallows and the racked-out sore ass might be a giveaway.'
Travis couldn't take his eyes off Tom's big thick cock, erect like a rocket ready for blastoff. He could only see Queequeg's back, but from the rapid movement of his elbows, he knew his lover must be getting a royal finger fucking and the tattooed giant was pounding the hell out of his monster cock.
'Travis why don't come and sit by Tom's head so you can see everything.' Pat started into his photographer-shuffle. 'By the way, it wasn't my decision to explore Tom's nether region...the million plus subscribers to Deadwood Clandestine, Inc. spy-cam show were responsible. After viewing last year's Big Top, with Butch the hunky straight Marine getting ravished by Queequeg, thousands of subscribers flooded the studio demanding more. So the producers made up a poll with names and pictures of everyone, for the subscribers to rate from one to five stars. Also, they were to line up the 'dream combination,' which one does what and to who. Our own Maori warrior was the favorite and the most requested combination was Queequeg takes Tom, in a quasi-barbarian production...' Pat took on his ringmaster persona. 'Messieurs, it is with great pleasure I give to you...The Viking vs. The Mogul!'
'Now Queequeg don't suck him off anymore, I want him to shoot his load while you finger fuck him...he shoots cum like Old Faithful, three foot high and lots of it...should be some good shots.'
Travis took his place at Tom's head. The cocks mesmerized him; his long-time favorite mouth watering love stick was throbbing ready for explode; a few feet down was an angry beast-of-a-cock, so large and grotesque it jolted his senses. His concern was not so much for himself, although he would never attempt it sober. His fear was for Tom, the largest thing ever to be inserted in his virgin butt were the fingers fucking him now.'
'Whoa! Look at him go!' Pat scrambles with his camera to catch the mighty leaps of cum. 'Oh man, the viewers are gonna eat this shit up! Bet I could bottle it up and sell it on e-bay!'
Pat watched Queequeg scoop up Tom's copious deposits and slick up his monster cock. Pat franticly snapped the lens as fast as he could, knowing the producers needed the pictures fast as promotion stills for the fuckfest later that evening.
Both Travis and Pat were tenting their pants as they watched Queequeg raise Tom's beefy legs onto his shoulders. His grin was more an evil smirk, and his dark sunken eyes seemed to penetrate the mind, reading your thoughts. Thoughts that invariably involved Queequeg's mighty cock and the damage it could cause.
Travis' ass muscles clinched as he starred at the dick of death, it was a virgin's nightmare. Asking the question over and over in his mind, would it stretch to accommodate or rip the entire length of the rectum? Tom had clout; surely they would never sanction such a serious injury to placate the perversions of a few subscribers?
Queequeg held Tom's legs straight up, bent down and started eating out his cherry ass. Tom's response was immediate; he moaned and twisted like the virgin he was, almost loosing his mind when the tattooed giant forced his tongue passed the anal ring. He left the opening dripping with saliva and positioned his huge member at the opening.
Pat snapped a close up of his magnificent savage, grinned and said. 'No can do my gargantuan friend...dismount now! Cease and desist! Don't you dare shove your stallion fuck shaft in that virgin ass! Show time is later this evening and millions of prying eyes will be watching while you bust that cherry.' Pat chuckled. 'Don't make me call security!'
Travis' mind had tripped several circuit breakers. He had freed his cock and was slowly jerking, riveted on the action in front of him. He was totally off guard when Pat sat behind him, grabbed Travis' cock with his right hand, and with the left he tightly held a fistful of balls, gently rolled them around while he whispered in his ear.
'You're thinking about that big cock, aren't you. Wondering...just wondering what it would be like...could you take it up the ass, would he be rough. Maybe setting your mind on being a mouth whore, but could you even get that big fuck stick in your mouth. Ah, such are the dreams of the phallus worshipers. Tell you what, I'll stand by while you try it...nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'll stop the hulk if it get out of hand.'
Pat motioned for Queequeg to kneel down in front of Travis so he could make love to his huge cock. Straddled directly over Tom's face, Queequeg looked down into the misty eyes of the drugged stud. Tom was riveted as he watched Travis' tongue glide over the huge cock, licking off his very own cum.
Pat took up a position lying on his side so he could snap close-up pictures of Queequeg's hot pulsating cock. Carefully focusing on the peach size head as it dripped pre cum like a leaky faucet, first collecting on Travis' chin, then forming long strands of clear drivel before dropping down, pooling on Tom's face.
As Antonio and Joe walked down the main street of Deadwood he pointed out various storefronts and the program that was conducted there. Stopping in front of large window they tried to pier into the dark room. Antonio explained that it was a training center to teach recently paroled guys a trade.
'Diesel engine repair.' Antonio explained to Joe. 'Without Pat assistance, teaching these guys a skill...most would be right back in prison in no time at all. The recidivism rate is like fifty percent...restitution can be a bitch when you don't have any money coming in...Parole officers! Don't get me started...'
Joe thought it might be a good time to find out more about Antonio. 'I know you said the Mexican police are looking for you...what do they want you for?
Antonio laughed. 'I was wondering when you would start with the questions...' He saw the worried look on Joe's face. 'No problem...I'm glad you asked, but it's gonna take some time to tell everything.' Antonio took Joe's hand. 'I'll take you to my secret place...when I need to have some downtime alone I go the old livery stable. My first hiding place after I climbed the fence and got cut up, I hid in one of the old stalls.'
They climbed a ladder to the hay loaf and Antonio retrieved an old army blanket and spread it out over the hay. Next he pulled out a saddlebag containing his stash, they sat cross-legged on the blanket while he rolled two joints and told Joe his life story.
It was necessary for Antonio to start his story in Chile where he was born, his father had been a low-level diplomat connected with a trade consulate in Mexico. At the age of ten Antonio's father defected to Mexico with his family, narrowly escaping the ruthless clutches of Gen. Pinochet. The family was granted asylum and Mexican citizenship, unfortunately a new regime came to power and restored ties with Gen. Pinochet's government; once again the Diaz family felt threatened, and tried to maintain a low profile.
During his sophomore year at the University of Mexico, Antonio decided to take a little summer break and make some money, his family was stretched to the max. His friend Rudolph, a.k.a. Radioman, he always seemed to have on earphones and the volume cranked to the max; he had painted the scene at Puerto Vallarta as a playground for lonely rich American women. He claimed to have been a rich ladies summer boy-toy, giving him expensive clothes and jewelry; when she left she gave him a wad of American dollars.
Antonio and Radio took jobs as pool boys, serving drinks to wealthy guest, and it wasn't long before a midlife couple was attracted to the boys and invited them to their suite. Wendell Foster was a tall tanned girlie-man, a film producer, obviously gay and given to sweeping dramatics; the boys secretly gave him a nick name, 'Big Gushy.' He was totally smitten with Radioman, no mystery there; the boy was a walking sex magnet.
Jean O'Keeffe was an actress, although her last picture had been twenty years earlier, she had what theater people call Star Quality. Antonio loved being around her, she was smart, funny and although she was older than Antonio's mother was, her libido was that of a much younger woman and she more than satisfied the younger man.
Antonio and Radio made a pack, whatever happens in Puerto stays in the port. When his friend started walking around with nothing but an erection, Antonio was lost for words and had a bad vibe something was about to ruin their sweet setup. Wendell and Radio drank at a dangerous pace, Jean and Antonio pleaded with them to slow down, but they didn't, even adding to their regiment aberrant behavior, was obsessive oral sex preformed on Radio. The older man became obsessed over the huge cock, performing an Olympic-like marathon of phallus-worship.
Wendell suffered a stroke while undergoing repeated deep-throat on a thick eleven-inch Mexican teenager cock. The coroner's report read like an erotic story or perhaps a snuff movie script: Copious amounts of seminal fluid and active sperm were recovered from the stomach and intestines. Multiple oral sodomy contusions and lacerations were evident as well as impacted sperm. Death was due to asphyxiation.
Jean fled the country before the police arrived to investigate the murder; after they had looked around for five minutes they called it a homicide and arrested Rudolph.
Strangely, the boy condemned himself, over and over he said. 'My dick killed Wendell!' The tabloids in both countries quickly jumped at the story with headlines that suggested the movie producer had been choked to death from repeated oral sodomy. Jean's pictures were included with the crime story; after her public relations people spun the story her image was plastered across the nation, she became a cause celebre and frequent talk show guest. Jean's career was once again active; most pleasing for her was the reassurance of interest in her old movies, even talk of a new picture.
Rudolph hanged himself in his jail cell; however, friends and family didn't believe that story. When his body was delivered to the funeral home they discovered he had been severely beaten.
The prosecution attorney was livid when he found out the defendant had escaped a murder trial He had counted on this hi profile case to advance his political career; determined not to be denied, he filed new charges against Antonio as a coconspirator and issued a warrant for his arrest
Antonio escaped minutes before the Federally arrived at the apartment he had shared with Rudolph. With no time to prepare after the anonymous caller told him of the new charges and to leave immediately, he snatched up a few dollars and three avocados his mother had sent him and ran out the door with his school back pack still hanging on his shoulder.
A trucker hauling watermelons destined for a San Diego Wal-Mart saw Antonio thumbing a ride and figured him to be an American student doing a little partying in Mexico. More important, the boy didn't look like an illegal immigrant. Hank Crockett's disdain for wetbacks was legendary, formally with the Minuteman Militia a private army of nearly one hundred assisting the Border Patrol guard the Mexican border. The government dismissed them after discovering ties a white supremacy group.
A confrontation began the moment Antonio greeted the trucker in Spanish. Hank's face almost exploded with rage and he slammed on the air brakes, yelling that he didn't pickup Mexican hitchhikers.
Quick thinking on Antonio part, he re-thanked the trucker for stopping, this time he spoke flawless English, enunciating every syllable, sounding very upper echelon. Hank the trucker mellowed instantly, thankful that his instant assessment ability hadn't been compromised; he could still spot a wetback a mile away.
Antonio instantly fabricated a person history for Hank, shamelessly borrowing from his spring break fling with Hollywood actress Jean. The trucker was buying the story completely, even asks for an autographed picture and wrote down his address.
Antonio told the trucker he was stopping off in Tijuana to meet up with some friends. He was tempted to stay with the driver and roll across the border, but feared the authorities would be waiting.
Travis had methodically cleaned all his lovers cum off Queequeg's heavy veined cock. He removed his upper and lower teeth and grabbed hold of the egg size testicles one in each hand, forcing them between his fingers so they lay in the center of his palm. He gently pulled back, prompting the tattooed giant to jabber off a string of swear words.
Queequeg yelled. 'Bitch Mother Fucker! Let go my damn nuts!'
Travis didn't say a word, just increased the pressure as he pulled the big hulk closer until his cock was inches from his lips. Travis chuckled and opened his mouth wide, swallowing the entire head, forcing his dagger-like tongue into the piss slit driving Queequeg crazy and causing him to depart from his usual stoic nature, to yelling and swearing at the Trav.
Threats and intimidation bounced off Travis like water on a ducks back. To drive home his point he pulled hard on Queequeg's balls forcing a few more inches of heavy cock in his mouth. He could feel the chill that raced through the big guy's body; his cock pulsed with minor tremors
As Travis' mouth preformed a merciless sexual ritual, the giant hulk actually utter a 'please.' It was almost perverse hearing submission from the lips of one so strong and unyielding, prompting Travis to wickedly gum-bite the area directly behind the glans penis.
As Trav sucked and polished the majestic fuck stick, a hand reaches up and wrapped around Queequeg meat. Totally surprising everyone, Tom tightened his grip and started a rhythm, milking the big piece of meat into Travis' mouth.
Queequeg bent down looking through a tangle of arms and found Tom's eyes; he could feel the lust, he yelled for Tom to grip it harder and jack the fuck out of it.
Pat moved to the left side for a better view, he told Trav to let go the balls his arm was getting in the way of the pictures. He was light headed from the hot action; no director could have ever staged the tantalizing action that unfolding in front of him.
Without warning the giant cock exploded like a sperm fountain overfilling Travis' hungry mouth and splashing down on Tom's face. Travis bent the still rock-hard cock and aimed it at Tom's lips, he grabbed the balls and pulls while viciously twisted them around. With his hand firmly wrapped around the shaft he starts to beat the meat with vigilance.
Travis yells at Queequeg. 'Listen you big fuck! I'm gonna pull your nuts off if you don't shoot a load in Tom's face.'
The words were still resonating when the colossal fuck stick erupted again flooding Tom's face with thick cum that cascaded down to his chin. Travis pulled on the balls hard forcing the big cock to press against Tom's lips. Quickly Pat pushed down on Tom's chin forcing his mouth to open. Seconds later Queequeg unloaded the last of his juice in Tom's mouth. Forced to take a load, it was a first for the Outlaw and he didn't know what to do.
Travis yelled. 'Swallow baby...Queequeg's got the sweetest cum I've ever tasted...Pat says it's from all the avocados he eats...sure hope you like avocados.'
Antonio's luck was holding Hank wheeled his humongous rig off the Mexican Interstate 1-D onto highway-1, a less traveled road into Tijuana. As they were saying their good-byes the trucker reminder the boy to send an autographed picture of his mother.
He assured the big man that a picture would in the mail in about a week, jumping out of the cab Antonio gave him a thumbs-up gesture as the eighteen wheeler lumbered forward creating a cloud of black diesel smoke
He hated lying to Hank, but the FBI and half a dozen other agencies were most likely monitoring her mail and telephone hopping he would contact her.
After walking a few miles the outskirts of the city began to appear, the neon-heavy block buildings oozed a pustule imitation of the glitzy-glamorous good life. Ahead he could see a service station sign, Mex Oil & Gas, and hurriedly crossed the highway. It was new and modern, surrounded by long lines of motorist eager to fill up before crossing the border into California, land of skyrocketing prices.
He purchased a two-liter bottle of spring water and six Granola bars inside the Quick-Mark putting a major dent in his travel funds. As he was standing at the checkout he sensed someone was watching, nervously his eyes scanned the room, behind a glass wall separating the food store from the coffee shop were three sets of hungry eyes.
On first assessment Antonio thought they were like him, college students, maybe Mexican American judging from their clothing, except it was all-wrong, an Ole Miss cap and a UCLA tank top. Or the combination that defied all reasoning, a Yale baseball cap and a Harvard Law tee shirt? The largest of the trio smiled and with a finger motioned him over. Apprehensively he crammed his supplies in his backpack and went over to their booth. The big guy made the smaller guy switch seats so Antonio would have to set next to him.
'Hi guys!' Antonio said standing beside the booth. 'Name's Antonio and I'm a student at the University.'
'Sit yo-self down, An-ton-io!' He reached out and grabbed his hand pulling him down. 'They call me Juan, this ugly hombre is Nester...the little guy, well he has lots of names. You can start off with Luis.'
'Happy to meet you fellows.' Antonio said with an uneasy smile. 'Do you guys go to school around here?'
Nester's laugh was sinister. 'Yeah, we be students and shit... Tijuana U, school of hard knocks...where you can learn those life-skills that make a flying-fuck difference...like hot wiring, breaking and entering, and all kinds of confidence games.'
'You got that right Papi.' Juan said. 'But you failed to convey the true advantage of a TU education...that enhanced psychic ability...like spotting an undercover Federally, or the nervous dude on the verge of becoming a snitch, or scooping out a punta even before he knows he's one.' Juan grinned and looked at Luis. 'But one of the most useful trade skills is spotting a guy on the run.' Juan's right hand gently massaged Antonio's neck.
Nester reached in his back pocket, pulled out a folded tabloid, and slammed it down on the table. 'Hey dude, you're famous! I never met a guy that kills with his dick...my props bad boy!'
Juan and Nester were laughing their asses off as Antonio checked out the magazine. If he had to come up with worse case scenario he was certain the tabloid story would claim the prize. They had taken pictures from the hotel security tape, showing the Jean and Antonio kissing and playing poolside, dinning at the fancy restaurant; they even had pictures of Rudolf and Wendell shopping for clothes. Rudolf was totally naked in one picture trying on swimsuits.
'Tell me something...' Hector jabbed his index finger on the blacked out area of Rudolf's nude photo. 'What we talking about size-wise...this big stud must be packing some killer-meat!' Everyone but Antonio roared with laughter and Juan hi-five Hector.
'Killer-meat! Man you-so-bad...shows some respect for An-ton-io's friend.' Juan's face was a mirror of deceit; he turned and looked at Antonio. 'Man, we sorry your roomy snuffed himself...but seriously dude, in prison for a sex crime! The cons would have eaten him alive.'
Antonio jumped up, and reached down for his backpack, Juan's hand struck faster than a snake grabbing his wrist. Antonio struggled and tried to peel-off Juan's long fingers. A shouting match between the two guys drew the attention of the entire coffee shop.
Juan lowered his voice and said. 'Sit yo ass back down before somebody recognizes you and calls the police!'
Antonio face was crimson and he was so angry his entire body trembled. 'Just let me go! No body killed Wendell, he was on drugs and choked...that's the truth man! The only charged me after Rudolf killed himself...the chief prosecutor is no good, pure trash, using this case to boost his political carrier.'
Juan and Hector cracked up and Juan, still laughing, shook his head and said. 'Everybody knows the prosecutor is a slime-bag! Hell, most of his undercounted money is from extortion. Rich American comes down, party too much and go to jail. Now this is the fun part where District Attorney Hugo Ferreira puts the squeeze on, painting a picture of what a Mexican jail would be like for them. The rich tourist coughs up dollars and the DA's office frees them from jail on their own recognizance, pending trial.'
Hector points to his Harvard Law tee-shirt and says. 'These guys can be so grateful...give you the shirt off their backs!'
Juan looked into Antonio's eyes and said. 'How's tricks? Gigolos make good money I bet. That old actress bitch made ya get down and do the nasty...did ya have to eat out her wrinkled old snatch? Kinda like eating a catchers mitt, all dry and dusty.'
Antonio was fuming; his voice was almost shouting volume. 'Asshole, Jean was classy lady...good looking even! You'll never experience someone of her caliber, because you're just a sewer rat! Now what do you want...what's it gonna take for you leaches to go away?'
Now Juan was angry and concerned that Antonio would make a scene and involve the police. He motioned with his hand for Antonio to keep cool. 'Ok killer-dick! What I want is some of the money and rich bobbles that the old actress laid on ya...I'll even escort ya to a secluded spot on the border few people know about...crossing over is easy and no Border Patrol check that section. What ya say, shake on it and we leave right now!'
Antonio's head was spinning; the chance of freedom was stronger than his fear of what Juan would do when he found out he had only a few Pesos.

An 'open mic problem occurs when someone using a Marine VHF radio leaves the frequency used in emergencies, channel 16, transmitting without their knowledge.
This channel is routinely used by vessels making initial contact with each other, but they should then switch to another frequency to keep the airwaves clear. On September 25 the boat with an open mic was eventually located by helicopter in Poole Harbour, and another was found by a lifeboat off the coast of Hayling Island on Sunday, October 3.
Every time a helicopter is sent out it costs the taxpayer £6,000 per hour, and an RNLI all-weather lifeboat costs only slightly less per hour, at £5,500.
Solent coastguard watch officer Katherine Piggin said the cost involved was huge, but sometimes they simply have no choice but to clear the airwaves in any way they can.
She said: 'It is the most horrendous feeling when you think you might have missed a mayday.
'And it becomes so much easier to do if we have constant chatter buzzing in our ears because someone has left their microphone on permanent transmit.'
Leisure sailing firms say they take the problem seriously. Laura Hamlin of yacht hire firm Sunsail said that customers were required to hold a licence before using VHF radios.
She said: 'Sunsail takes the use of channel 16 very seriously and ensure that all customers are given a full boat brief before use.'
