Sensual Massage Treats – Erotic Therapy For Holistic Healing And De-Stress
Tantric massage is not a mere sophisticated erotic play. There is so much more to it! The sexual energy that is stimulated and worked with during the sensual massage session can help you to heal the emotional traumas, eliminate stress and tension or even heal some physical illness. It can also serve as a source of inspiration, creativity and personal breakthrough s – in fact, there is nothing impossible to it, as in Tantra it is believed to be the foundational force of the Universe, its core energy and power. Of course, to reach such profound effects, serious practice is usually required, yet oftentimes the major advance on Tantric path can happen spontaneously and unexpectedly (you can learn more about London Tantra here). This energy, called Shakti-Kundalini, dwells in each and every human being and only waits to be awakened to grant the practitioner its supreme and abundant gifts. However, it's a very delicate matter and you should only trust a professional tantric therapist to work with it. Tantric massage utilizes various techniques from different massage modalities as well as elements from complementary disciplines of yoga, bioenergetics, and sexual therapy.

Orgasmic Massage Adventure – Happy Ending Lingam And Prostate Massage
One of the features of tantra massage that makes it really stand out among the other types of massages is its explicit erotic tint. Naked masseuse performs those teasing and provoking motions, using her hands and the whole body, not being ashamed to touch you in the most intimate places, the parts of your body that give the maximum pleasure and erotic response. Unrestricted in her techniques, which include body to body massage, the Goddess of tantra massage will be arousing you by all sophisticated tantric means, her skills being perfected and polished during the extensive training and devoted practice. Deliberately raising your sexual response by gently stroking and caressing your body, she will then get to the culminate point of tantra massage – the massage of your sex organ, which is called lingam in tantra.
Lingam massage is done by hand and we'd like to emphasize that it's strictly massage indeed – no oral sex or penetrative sex is ever allowed within the tantra massage session, for an extra payment or without such. However the techniques of lingam massage are very refined and special – if you think of it as your average hand job, it isn't so! Special motions of your beautiful tantric massage London therapist's hands will touch you precisely in those spots which give the heightened erotic response and guide you towards the bright orgasmic release. It is for this part that sensual massage is called a happy ending massage. Orgasmic massage means, as you might already know or guessed, not just a simple erotic massage, but tantra massage with lingam massage at the end of the session.
And, if you wish to go even further, you might want to order a prostate massage as well! Prostate massage is very good for men's health, it helps to boost your virility and prevent possible health issues. It is especially recommended for men after 40 to extend the prime of their life, but of course each and every man of any age will benefit enormously from it. Do you know many treatments which are as beneficial as pleasant? Prostate massage is unique in this regard, combining solid therapeutic effects with enormous, overwhelming erotic sensations.
Moreover, in tantra the prostate is regarded as a sacred spot of a man, the stimulation of which can not only give exceedingly pleasurable sensations, but even transport a person out and beyond his limitations, fears and core assumptions into the realm of serene repose, supreme love and deep peace.
The equivalent of lingam massage for ladies is Yoni massage. This option can be arranged within couples massage session, for him and her.
Sophisticated Erotic Joys For Men
If your libido is decreasing and you want to spice up your sexual appetite, erotic massage is right for you. That won't do as much pressure on your muscles, but on the nerve endings of the skin which are more sensitive. Soft hands glide gently over your naked body, in elegant and quiet manner, with candles, music, oils and dim candle light …
We understand everyday stress and nervousness caused by travel and business meetings. Have you ever thought how it would be if one of our models would accompany you for the day, evening or night? What if, after a day of exhausting negotiations and meetings you could get escape from everyday life and dive into the fascinating world of erotic massage, having an Angels seductive masseuse as a guide?
Nude massage involves every part of the body and aims to create a balance of physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of human being for the most holistic effect attainable. Unlike the simple nude massage, erotic massage is more intimate, more voluptuous … perfect. This is done with light sensual strokes on your body with breasts and body of fascinating Angels masseuse. The Tantric massage follows the spiritual and emotional balance reaching culmination with Lingam or Yoni massage (intimate massage of sex organs resulting in ejaculation and complete relaxation).

Eastern Philosophy Of Ecstatic Sexuality
You will be welcomed in a pleasant environment with soft lighting, scents and background music and immediately immersed in a relaxing atmosphere so that you can better prepare to get massage.
Tantric massage is a sensory experience so addictive that you will discover a new dimension of pleasure, giving you the ability to forget the world around you and to release stress accumulated during the day, all thanks to the skilful touches so delicate and profound at the same time, like you have never felt before.
The term tantra massage does not identify a specific sequence, precise craftsmanship, but only a way to massage, a particular kind of sensitivity of touch that will never be equal to another because it varies depending on the particular needs of the receiver.
Our skin marks the limit of our body and the point of contact with the world. It can be seen that through breathing the skin becomes more alive, more vibrant, more supple. With the practice of tantra massage you will discover that the body is not limited by the skin. Your feelings will amplify in a succession of waves that will feel to stray far, touch the world and return to the body. It feels unique and unforgettable.
The massage will affect the whole body paying special attention to the most sensitive areas and energy points in order to strengthen and expand the feelings of pleasure and lead to total abandonment of day-to-day persona.
Aromatherapy For Sensual Enhancement
We create an enchanted place full of scents and colours that stimulate the senses where nature, history and legend blend in a magical landscape that is the ideal place to pamper yourself through the massages and body care.
The Tantric massage is one of the oldest and most profound Oriental rituals for body care and for the general welfare of the person. It has high physical and spiritual significance and an evolutionary purpose and may also have many beneficial effects in addressing issues related to body and mind, thus helping to dissolve psycho-affective-sexual discomfort.
For this reason, this type of massage should be carried out by competent professionals who can focus their attention on tactile stimulation, alternating powerful techniques, delicate touches, sensual meditation, enabling more subtle energies to flow through the body in an easy and unobstructed way.

BloodRayne 2 Xbox
- Publisher: Majesco Games
- Release Date: Oct 12, 2004
- Also On: PC, PlayStation 2
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Terminal Reality and Majesco prove once again that videogame sequels don't suck - that is of course, unless they're supposed to.
With so many options available and constant re-evaluations about the situation I didn't feel the creep of boredom even if most of the enemies are pushovers.
Improves on its predecessor in almost every way, even if it still features the same maddening difficulty level as the original.
Reply value is questionable, so less than hardcore fans might want to pick this up as a rental.
An excellent follow up to the original. It provides plenty of the action, and it is one of the bloodiest games I have seen to date.
Overall BloodRayne 2, although lacking in some departments is still a drastic improvement over the original.
It still has some blaring issues (that "unpolished" feel really sticks with you) but the coolness and guilty pleasure-ness of it make it well worth the time and money.
Play MagazineWhat Terminal Reality has managed to create in the two years succeeding the Bloodrayne debut borders on miraculous. [Nov 2004, p.72]
There are many things that could use some polish, but this sequel is definitely a step in the right direction.
It is very evident, however, that the BloodRayne series has come along way, flexing much better visuals, deeper gameplay, and a smoother overall look and feel thanks to the Infernal engine.
With sharp visuals and loads of neat levels, you'll have a blast cutting through enemies. If you're offended by extreme violence, stay clear, otherwise this is one enjoyably gruesome action game.
Thanks to how the harpoon has been integrated into the extensive environmental interaction, and the superior visuals, and more varied gameplay, BloodRayne 2 stands above the original. Thanks to some broken scripting, easy combat (with no difficulty levels available) and incongruent acrobatics, BR2 isn't hugely better, only noticeably better.
Game InformerWhile this sequel does succeed in proving Rayne is more than a pretty face, a few more tweaks are needed before her playtime prowess matches her dark mystique. [Nov 2004, p.147]
One of the few things that can be said about BloodRayne 2 is that it's a nice looking title. The character model for Rayne looks extremely detailed, as do the character models for some of the main enemies.
Cheat Code CentralBloodrayne 2 is the perfect game for Halloween. It's a sweet, scary treat but it's over too quickly.
If you want to look at pert bottoms and women sucking each others' necks while wearing stockings, you'd be better off doing it on the internet for free. [Official UK Xbox Magazine]
It's a game worth checking out if you like strong, sexy female anti-heroes and gratuitous bloodshed, and aren't hoping for an experience heavy on plot and social relevance.
A fun, challenging game for the first three stages, with varied gameplay and a likeable heroine... Once you get beyond that point, you'll find it increasingly frustrating... or you'll start cheating madly in the name of basic survival.
A decent action game with a lot of nifty gameplay twists thrown in for good measure. While we wish BloodRayne moved a bit better than she does, no one can argue that she brings a sexy darkness to an action game (ahem) dripping with personality.
A pretty decent action game, featuring a sassy heroine, cool moves and powers make the action very hot indeed. The gore is suitably over the top but remains fun all the same.
Isn't a great game, but it's a lot of fun. Look at it as the popcorn movie of the game world, it's really pretty, but only skin (or polygon?) deep.

JSJan 27, 2005Poor controls. Poor design. No story. No imagination. Very cute character.
ScottC.Oct 14, 2004Kind of like Devil May Cry. Both in style and play. The graphics are well done, and the game obviously caters to the male demographic in Kind of like Devil May Cry. Both in style and play. The graphics are well done, and the game obviously caters to the male demographic in gaming. Some tend to think that is a pure button masher. I have found that to be an easy line to place on this game. The combos are deep. The animations are well done for the fatalities and combos as well. The game is linear, and a tad on the easy side, but all in all a good game to have. Rent if that is your thing, but if you like to revisit games just to do it again, it's worth the purchase as it is indeed a fun play. Devil May Cry meets, Prince of Persia with a touch of Laura Croft thrown in with a great deal more attitude. If any of those games did something for you, you should enjoy BloodRayne 2. … Full Review »

St. Olaf College (Music and Norwegian)
*At this time, I am only accepting ACT students. Please read my full bio for a description of how I approach preparing students for the exam.
In his seventh year of tutoring, Thore has logged thousands of one-on-one hours with students. Named a National Merit Scholar in 2008, he holds a Bachelor of Music in vocal performance and a Bachelor of Arts in Norwegian from St. Olaf College, graduating summa cum laude and with distinction in both degrees. He is also a member of Phi Beta Kappa, an academic honor given to roughly one percent of college seniors nationally. While at St. Olaf, Thore worked as an Academic Assistant, helping students who needed extra assistance with study and organizational skills. He also tutored content in Norwegian, music theory, and music history.
I tutor ACT in two-hour blocks, covering all four multiple choice sections of the exam. Beyond teaching any missing or forgotten English grammar and math content, I focus on teaching specific procedures to be used in each section to improve accuracy and pacing. My procedures help students guide and streamline their comprehension and decision-making processes on the exam while avoiding common, predictable errors.
At the sessions, we begin by working through the content and procedures together. Because accuracy must always be developed before speed, students then practice the procedures untimed on homework ACT sections. (For example, the problems in the math section increase in difficulty as the test progresses. A student who only has time to answer the first two-thirds of the problems correctly before randomly guessing on the twenty most difficult problems would score a 26 on most exams.) We review the specific errors at the session and address why the correct answer is right, what mistake in thought process, procedure, or content led the student to their specific error, and how the student must approach the problem differently in the future to avoid this mistake and promote the correct answer. After one or two untimed sections, students begin working through sections timed without the aid of the procedure sheets.
There are no tricks to an improved ACT score: students must commit to learning and integrating the procedures and thoroughly reviewing mistakes through a process I call "error logging." Once all four procedures are covered, the student will have a full practice test to complete before the next session in addition to the error logging. Because there is less homework between the first few sessions as we work through the introductory content, sessions can be doubled up the first and/or second week.
To fully prepare a student for an exam, I hope to see him/her for six to eight sessions. The number of sessions required depends largely on a student's starting and goal scores, the amount of math content that must be covered, and the intensity at which a student error logs the material. Most students see an additional three to five composite points when fully prepared for the exam; I routinely have students improve beyond that, including multiple nine-point score improvements.
I generally meet students at coffee shops within a ten-mile driving radius around downtown Minneapolis. I'm happy to meet students at other suitable public locations or in-home provided a parent is present for the duration of the session. I do require 24 hours notice for cancellations. My rate covers all materials and travel within my standard tutoring radius and is non-negotiable.
I look forward to hearing from you.
-Thore *At this time, I am only accepting ACT students. Please read my full bio for a description of how I approach preparing students for the exam.
In his seventh year of tutoring, Thore has logged thousands of one-on-one hours with students. Named a National Merit Scholar in 2008, he holds a
What I mean by the statement above is that Thore teaches the material in a way that each student can understand it. He truly understood how I was thinking about problems and taught in methods that complemented my thought process. This method of teaching made it easier for me to grasp material and learn how to do the problems faster. For example, my reading scores were low so he had me perform a passage in front of him and he identified that I was focusing on unimportant details rather than the purpose of the passage itself. Thore then proceeded to teach me methods to combat this issue and as a result, my reading section score increased by 8 points.
Besides teaching methods, Thore has a vast knowledge of material. Yes, he has to teach students material because schools simply don't cover essential concepts that are tested by the ACT such as English grammar.
Thanks so much Thore!
P.S. I'm Thore's student and he has helped me increase my score by 5 composite points (25 to 30).
He explains everything very well, has a good plan to follow so I know what to study before our next session.
He really knows how to help a kid prep for the ACT. He is knowledgeable, knows how to explain things, and is patient. Rather than just going over individual questions, Thore worked with my son on practical strategies to prepare for the ACT. It paid off- his score increased by 4 points.
Thore is an excellent ACT tutor. He is an expert about the Reading/English portion of the ACT Test. He is also dynamic and a great coach, He does a great job keeping the student engaged making the learning process fun which I find to be imperative to keep the student working toward their goals. Thore used all his resources to find my daughter's learning style going above and beyond when he encountered learning roadblocks. I would recommend Thore to anyone who wants to increase their ACT score. Nice work Thore! Thank You!
My daughter had her first tutoring session with Thore yesterday. The feedback is great. "He is good, I like him." Coming from a taciturn 16 year old, this is a lot. Thank you, Thore. We are looking forward to completing the ACT prep with you.
He knows exactly what he is talking about. Gave me some valuable information on the ACT science section that I never knew. Great 1st session!
Thore taught how to read the Science Charts in ACT type questions. This was an excellent lesson in reading the charts.
Thore focused on ACT math techniques for my son, giving him tips to avoid common mistakes and anticipate the kinds of questions that he would encounter.
Elizabeth liked the session with Thore and said she understood the math a little better. She thinks these tutoring sessions will help prepare her for retaking her ACT.
I am very impressed by Thore, he is very thorough and clearly has significant experience in test preparation. My daughter enjoys working with him and he is very patient with her. I have noticed that she seems to be more confident about the ACT preparation process since she started working with him. She wants to do well and is encouraged by his positivity and persistence. My daughter's grandmother picked her up from one session and even remarked about how impressed she was with him. We are very happy we found Thore!!
Thore is an awesome tutor. He really helped to prepare my son for the ACT. I was amazed at how Thore was able to motivate my son to study and take practice tests. Thanks to Thore, my son increased his ACT by 4 points. I would absolutely recommend Thore to anyone looking for a patient, dedicated, results oriented tutor.
Your son worked hard and managed this score increase in only seven two-hour sessions. Congratulations and best wishes on the college search!
Thore is an excellent tutor. He comes well prepared and does a great job guiding and giving advice on how to improve!
Thore is great! He is very patient, methodical and thorough. He covers all topics to facilitate my daughter's success. He encourages my daughter with each accomplishment, which gives her the enthusiasm to try harder! He has given her the confidence to be able to score higher in her ACT (she scored a 33!!!). Thank you, Thore!

Healing with Plant Intelligence: A Report from Ayahuasca
Numerous and diverse reports indicate the efficacy of shamanic plant adjuncts (e.g., iboga, ayahuasca, psilocybin) for the care and treatment of addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder, cancer, cluster headaches, and depression. This article reports on a first-person healing of lifelong asthma and atopic dermatitis in the shamanic context of the contemporary Peruvian Amazon and the sometimes digital ontology of online communities. The article suggests that emerging language, concepts, and data drawn from the sciences of plant signaling and behavior regarding "plant intelligence" provide a useful heuristic framework for comprehending and actualizing the healing potentials of visionary plant "entheogens" (Wasson 1971) as represented both through first-person experience and online reports. Together with the paradigms and practices of plant signaling, biosemiotics provides a robust and coherent map for contextualizing the often reported experience of plant communication with ayahuasca and other entheogenic plants. The archetype of the "plant teachers" (called Doctores in the upper Amazon) is explored as a means for organizing and interacting with this data within an epistemology of the "hallucination/perception continuum (Fischer 1975). "Ecodelic" is offered as a new linguistic interface alongside "entheogen" (Wasson 1971).

Polyurethane coated Nylon Gloves

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
These are a must for working outside. They wear like leather for a fraction of the cost and they give you much more feel for what your doing. These gloves are great for weeding the yard or garden,because you can push your finger into the dirt and fell the roots to pull them out, yet, you don't get the dirt under your fingernails.
Great protection!

Was taking down an old deck on back on house. Plenty of splinters & rusty nails BUT not one injury to our hands. More flexible than "heavy" work gloves, too.
Ilove these gloves.

Great gloves
Good Grip!

See all my reviews
Up till now, gloves of this type were too slippery. These breath well enough - last long enough and provide enough protection without sacrificing a level of sensitivity that I personally prefer when working.
great gloves for touch sensitive work
By gloveboy
from glovetown nj
bottom line:great light duty glove when you need a light duty glove WITH great tactile feel.good price.was looking for a light duty glove when doing light work around the house that required good dexterity and tactile feel.I have the yellow hardy gloves from harbor freight, and they are great highly recommended medium duty gloves, but not so good for detail work because you loose dexterity and tactile feel - but that is understood because those gloves have a different purpose.these gloves allow you to work with your hands in such a way it is almost like not wearing gloves. they are cut a little small, so you might want to consider ordering a size up (if ordering online) or try them on at the store.great glove.good price.good quality.will be buying several pairs to have in the car, range bag, etc.
Nice gloves, I have several pairs
By NJPete61
from New Jersey
I have several pairs of these gloves, they light weight and work great. I even keep a pair in my car tool kit. The rubber material has a good grip, which is great for when you replace a toilet or have to carry or lift a slippery objects, helps you get a good grip and also protects your hands. I also use them for raking, gives me a good grip on the rake and also prevents blisters.

Style: Especially cool for a Casio (Not known for looking classy) this watch even looks great with more dessy clothes, as well as looks rugged enough to wear with jeans and a T-Shirt. Function: Ok, I'm a geek... I missed my digital watches when I had to sacrifice them to look more stylish. But this watch has enough little gizmos to make any nerd smile. :) Temperature feature works great if you calibrate it. Generally is accurate +/- 1-3deg. Timezones out the ying-yang. Stopwatches for when you're working out. Timers, all that! Negatives: It only has one alarm that I can find. Not six as advertized. Also since it's both digital and analog... sometimes the hands are in the way of the digital readout you want to see. Also the dark background with the light readout does make it more difficult to read in some light settings, but you can get used to it. Cool Features: Auto light feature. Love the fact that all I have to do is raise my arm at night and the light comes on. (Feature must be enabled) So many other features to geek out on when you first start using it. Comment: Younger person's watch... Generally if you don't have patience for calibrating features (i.e. temperature), setting up things, and seeing smaller print... Don't buy it. You will only frustrate yourself. This is not a watch that is ready once you open the box.
I picked out this watch as a Christmas gift. So far it's been great. The temperature feature is pretty good. However to get it to work right you need to adjust the watch to compensate for the temperature of your arm. My arm seems to be about 20 degrees higher than the actual temperature. You can adjust the temperature of the watch up or down by approximately 18 degrees. So after reducing the temperature reading the full 18 degrees, I think my watch is within about 2 degrees of the actual temperature. This is fine for my needs. Otherwise it's pretty easy to use and set if you follow the directions. The directions are no more difficult to follow then the directions for any other electronic device. If you can follow the directions for a digital camera you can use this watch. The only thing that was not easy was removing links from the watch band. There are multiple directions for how to do this available on the internet but Casio does not provide any type of direction and it was not easy. I managed to do it but it was a pain. If you need to remove links from the band to get the watch to fit I recommend visiting a jeweler. One bonus, Target and Casio's own website had this same watch for $20 more than the Walmart price. Thanks Walmart!
This watch has everything you would ever want or need in a timepiece. I have read some of the other reviews and how they said that this watch was complicated to set up or operate. I say no way. Just read the instructions. They are on a 5th grade reading level complete with pictures. One minor note- the thermometer will not read correctly until you take it off and let it sit for 20 mins. Not sure how important it is to you, not much for me. One thing I really like about the watch is the 30 time zone setting. I travel for a living, many times through multiple time zones. All you have to do is set your local time in reference to Universal Time Coordinated. (Also not hard, there are instructions) Great value!
I bought this watch for my husband, he loves it, it does everything it said it would..
I luved the watch the moment I took it out of the box. I've already given the watch a rough and tough experience in the past few weeks like swiming in lakes, hiking, etc. It works perfectly fine. Also my need of a dual time on the watch is also solved.
This is a very attractive watch. I was excited to get it in the mail and set it up. I can understand the complaints about scuffs and other things. But my problem was when trying to set the time the minute hand is stuck. It will jitter back and forth then lock into place. Dissapointed that it's faulty upon receiving. Will have to drive a half hour just to return this thing can get my money back.
Well where to start? The watch is very hard to program (even reading the book). The metal scuffs very easy and makes it look old in about 2 days. There is moisture in the watch and when I go from a hot room to a cool room the watch fogs up. 3 days in the pin near the watch itself breaks (not a big problem go to Wally World to get new one). Pin is super hard to get in. Now the pin comes out every day and falls off every time I move my wrist. The watch is garbage and that's where it's going. Oh the temp did work well to about 5 degrees of real temp (not too bad).
This is a well built, sleek watch with quality matching watches of a much higher price. Only three minor gripes at all: it sometimes catches your hairs in the band, the backlight only stays lit for 1.5 seconds before shutting off and the digital display is a hair bit hard to read at times. Those three gripes are overshadowed by the overall quality and features of the watch. I really like it!
This is a great watch, I got as a present from my wife. I love the look and it does everything it says it will, except shoving temperature, it's a little off because of the heat from my arm. But all the rest works great, especially cool feature is that when I turn my wrist to look at time it automatically turn on the back light.
Great watch! Looks really cool, has a mix of antique and modern. I really liked but I had to return it. It didn't fit my arm; I'm a very skinny person and it started hurting my arm. I wish the band was more flexible (it doesn't bend a lot) then it would fit me better.
Looks great from a distance and the description tells of a design that has some very positive features. However, when you get it in your hand... it's excessively heavy... the digital displays are virtually unreadable... the backlighting makes no difference in visibility... and the chrono dials are designed and arranged in a way to make them virtually useless. On top of that, the print in the extensive manual is so tiny it's also unreadable. It's coming back first chance I get.
A very nice watch.And looks great.I would recommend it to anyone.It would look nice on women to.
Beautiful watch. A bit complicated but has interesting features and a handsome face.
Great looking watch for work or play. This watch has incredible accuracy. I set it once when it arrived about three weeks ago and it has not gained nor lost one second since! I have never had a watch that was that accurate. They could have included some instructions for adjusting the band, however. I had to go a Google search on Casio metal watch band adjustment to find out how to do it. Even after I had, it wasn't easy! The only minor complaint I have is that the digital display is hard to see under anything but perfect lighting conditions.
This watch is definately worth the money... very cool elegant design with functionality. The thermometer works OK after calibration. There are only two minor issues I have with the watch: 1) The digital readouts are sometimes hard to see in bright/direct light and 2) The watch has a function where if you turn your wrist to look at your watch the digtal readouts illuminate automatically. You can set the watch to do this, but this function shuts off after 6 hours (I guess to save battery life).
i like the style of the watch and it's features, but the light feature is so so, i wish it was brighter.
Looking for a replacement after buying the cheaper Casio Databank (another analog-digital watch) I ended selecting this watch that solves somes flaws in the old watch but add anothers. Pros:
-Quality materials and design (heavier, but not bulky, adjusting the band its not to hard).
-Separate displays for time and date.
-Auto light feature (with the raise of the arm). -True Backlight ilumination that iluminates from the back the digital and analog hands (no more the cheap front led light that barely iluminates the analog hands).
-The lens is under the frame (so it not get scratched if you hit the watch with the wall :). -Extensive and detailed 3 language manual (english, spanish and french, with excellent translations). CONS:
-Temp display not accurate or usefull (only use is a a show-off),
-Dual Chronometer complicated (is not the traditional start-stop, so you need to learn how to use the new functions),
-Initial setting its somewhat long (15 min if you're good to follow manuals, this includes digital setting, analog adjust and time zone -you don't need to adjust the temp sensor-, more if you want to activate auto light and learn how to use the chronometer).
-Hands are wider than necessary (its hard to see the digital display if a hand is over it)
-Instruction manual somewhat confusing and not includes quick guide (also doesn't help its small size and that is forced under the watch stand, so its bended and you'll finish wiith some loose pages). Overall a powerfull watch with lots of features and and very beautifull. Recommended!!
Great product, if you want something reliable. In my opinion, much better than Timex.
I previously bought a timex ironman, with the same features than this one, and I could'nt even keep the analog and digital sinchronized, highly overated.
The only complaint I have is that the digital display is a little hard to read at some angles. Overall, very well worth the money, it feels like my Citizen, but $200.00 cheaper.
I've worn this watch for the past two weeks and I can say that it met almost all my expectations. The one thing I am dissapointed is the temperature feature. It works well when you leave the watch away from you for 30 min (as stated on the manual) but it doesn't when you wear it. This is not clear when you buy it, as it is only defined on the owner's manual. Other than that, a great buy.
I bought this watch online. When i recieved this watch i was greatly dissapointed with it. The colors and quality of it look way better online then they do in person. It says there are 3 alarms but there are only 1. The Temp feature is a joke. It reads the temp of your arm it seems i tried to calibrate it several times with no luck. On average it was 20 DEG off. Do not buy this watch.

Throw me something, mister
But not too hard, please.

HOUMA — Charlene Babin said she will never go to a Mardi Gras parade again.
Last year, during the Krewe of Terreanians parade, Babin said, she was hit in the head with a harness attached to a heavy metal hook thrown off a float. She went to Terrebonne General Medical Center and was treated for cuts and bruises.
"It's been my thing, I've always lived for Carnival, but all it takes is one time," Babin, 67, said. "I care less about it now."
Law-enforcement agencies in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes said no tickets or arrests have been given for throwing beads too hard this year. However, police said they are aware of how hard beads and other items are occasionally thrown off the floats and will take appropriate action if needed.
"It really depends on the severity of it," said Terrebonne Sheriff's Maj. Malcolm Wolfe. "Sometimes, when it's not so bad, the float captain will address it. If somebody got injured, they will take them off."
Krewe of Hercules Captain Danny Picou said none of its more than 700 members ever throw to intentionally harm anybody.
"If you go to the parade, you are there because you want to be there, at your own risk. No one in Carnival throws to hurt anybody," Picou said.
He added that he was unaware of any riders being pulled from this year's parade because of throwing too hard.
"Your adrenaline's flowing, and your body can get excited at the time. Accidents do happen," Picou said.
Dennis Rodrigue, captain for the Krewe of Cleophas in Thibodaux, said the 450 men and women members are instructed on how to throw safely.
"We have a set of rules that coincides with the city ordinance. You have to be soft and gentle and not throw baseball-style."
Rodrigue said the krewe takes complaints seriously, and float captains do their best to try to keep their float riders in line.
"We try to police it as much as we can," Rodrigue said.
Still, residents emphasize that one injury can really sour one's opinion on Mardi Gras. Last year, during the Hercules parade, Jennifer Authement's baby granddaughter was hit in the face with a handful of beads.
Authement said her granddaughter was not seriously hurt but was scared.
"She was enjoying the heck out of the parades," Authement said. "She loved the sirens and the music. She's a baby; they don't care who they hurt."
Dana Arabie said she got hit in the left eye with a bag of beads, causing her to bleed.
"I rode for five years; I never overhand threw," Arabie said.
Babin said she attributes at least some of the carelessness to riders who have drank alcohol, which can cause them to act differently than they might intend. She said there are many things, along with cutting back on the drinking, that would help make Mardi Gras a safer holiday.
"They're drunk," Babin said. "They don't know what they're doing. They just don't care."

Having been promoted to the position of club captain last summer, it was anticipated that Dawson would be one of the first names on the teamsheet this term. But, to the shock of many Spurs fans, Villas-Boas allowed the centre-back to speak to QPR after accepting a £9million bid for the player in August.
Dawson turned down the chance to move to the west London club in order to fight for a place in Villas-Boas' starting XI, but the Portuguese overlooked the England defender for the opening third of the campaign.
The 29-year-old has since worked his way back in to the Villas-Boas' XI, however, starting the club's last seven Barclays Premier League games.
When asked whether he thought it was a mistake to let the former Nottingham Forest man speak to QPR, Villas-Boas said: "Yes. I think we appreciate the fact we were able to hang on to him.
"We ended up being on the better side by the fact he agreed to stay with us. We were lucky in that sense."
Although Villas-Boas would probably not consider selling Dawson now, he will have to cut one of his centre-backs loose this summer.
With Jan Vertonghen and Younes Kaboul both in their prime, and Steven Caulker considered a bright young prospect, it appears 35-year-old William Gallas - who is out of contract in June - is the most likely to depart.
"We won't start another season with five centre-backs," Villas-Boas said.

An: this is my third fanfic- I've already written everything and now I'm getting them out. So this is also one of the stories I've wrote and I hope you guys like it.
Disclaimer: Not mine ( I wish). It's all Stephanie Meyer :P
My life
Have you ever felt that one day, that day would all be yours? That you will become so powerful that all your enemies in high school or college or what ever will be jealous of you? You, just a simple girl can become so big and powerful watching you on the throne day. Well to start off with, I can relate to this because from when I was a baby till now; 17 years old. I met someone. Someone so weird and obnoxious and rude and mean and disrespectful and strange and sweet and funny and cute. Yeah I know I am weird. I am a 16ars old girl, I am skinny and I am beautiful, I don't want to brag but I have to tell you all the things other tell me. I am stubborn and very will, but if you look on the bright side I am really good in basketball and I'm really friendly and very loving. So this is where it all happened. The meeting and the prince, and me, and a basketball game, everything.
Me (by the way, my name is Bella, hi) and my team. Alice, Emmet, Jake, Sam (Samina), Belinda, Lisa, Jacob, Mary, Diana, Rose, and John. We are the best basketball playing team ever. Until Jacob quits! He said that he has other better things to do and stuff. That's when the team, except, me decides to put in the prince (who goes to our high school because he wants to) in our team. I was really made and I didn't agree to this by I was voted off. The thing is that I hate him, the prince. I think that I am the only one who hates him, I don't know why. I think that he is a big show off since he's always trying to beat me at everything…and he does…sometime. Now he is here, trying out for the team. He possibly can't win this one…can he? You'll have to find out.

We went to a local store to try rings and find what we liked. This ring caught my eye in the store but not online. I loved it. We went home and ordered it cause I didn't want to wait 3 weeks for it to be sized when I could order it in my size and have it in 4 days. I have had the ring 3 days and absolutley LOVE it. However, I will update in the months to come and let you know if I still feel the same way. I do feel you get what you pay for but after a few months of reseach and looking everywhere I found that instead of paying 900$ plus for a very similar ring at a "Jewlery Store" and paying their commission we were able to afford this ring with out breaking our pocket book. I am very pleased and we will be buying my fiance's ring from Wal-Mart as well. I am a size 8 and it fit perfectly when he put it on my finger. :)
At first I wanted to steer clear of my husband purchasing this set due to the reviews that have been submitted about it tarnishing, however, after getting married and wearing the band 24/7 (except for cleaning the house with different products i.e. bleach, tub cleanser, and windex, etc), I must admit, for the price we paid, it has definitely blew me away. The ring stays pretty clean due to my upkeep and extreme maintenance. I usually clean it twice a week with a toothbrush and some Whitening Sensodyne. Sensodyne toothpaste is a great tool to keep it shining. I would recommend this item to anyone...especially any married or engaged couple on a budget!!! The only downfall is "MY EGO". The only time I feel like my ring may not match up or be up to par is when I'm in the grocery aisle or out somewhere and you see those people with like "huge" diamond rings. They're obviously people who can afford it, and eventually I hope to be upgrading; this is definitely not the ring I intend to have for the rest of our marriage, but until then, I'll remain "Mrs. Conservative"
My fiance bought this set online after we looked at many other rings. Although, the bad reviews set me back a bit I loved this ring so much I wanted to try it out, we ordered it, and it didn't come in long after that at all. I have had it for a little while now and it is still beautiful as ever and shining. It fits perfectly and I cannot wait to have the set together. I will add on and post pictures with the set together after our wedding. I recommend this bridal set for anyone who wants something beautiful for a great price. I am so pleased with what I got, I am SOOO happy I took a chance on this ring.
I have had this set since August of 2009 and it's still in great shape! It's very sparkly and shines really well. I bought the silver jewelry cleaner that Wal-Mart carries and it cleans it just fine. I have never had it turn green, turn my finger green or tarnish, I just like to clean it once a week to see it shine! None of the diamonds have any visible inclusions, and none have fallen out! I wear it all the time, except in the shower and to do dishes so I wont lose it! I have even put my hands in bleach water and it did not tarnish! It's a great set and looks beautiful. It's isn't delicate and I never worry about it breaking or anything, and I'm pretty rough on it! I would buy again! My mother in law says every time she looks at it, "That ring is just beautiful!" It's even better because I got it when it was on sale.
I was unsure about it when I first got it. The band seemed too big and, when I tried them both on together, it was too wide and made the engagement one closer to my knuckle than I wanted/like. I washed it really good, and wore it a while.. it grew on me and now I love it. I rinse it really good with hot water all the time, and dry it good with a paper towel. It cleans up very nicely with a little effort. I have not had any trouble with tarnish (I never have with any of my silver rings unless I don't wear them for a long time). One of the stones is just a hair higher than the others, but I have OCD so that is probably why I notice it..no one else does lol.
The bottom of the band has tiny pinhole size dents (?) or something now, I'm not sure how they got there but, it's silver (I wanted white gold.. seems more sturdy).
If you get this ring set, keep in mind that the bands are both the same width, and together, I think they are somewhere around what a 9mm men's ring would be (just my personal guesstimate).
If any problems with the ring arise I will add more later.
I've had this set for over 2 months now. It's very comfortable, doesn't get caught on things (important for me because I go through many pairs of gloves at work) and shiny. I have tan skin, so it stands out. I've received many compliments! I haven't had any problems with it - doesn't stain my finger, no stones falling out and I wear it all the time. I clean it every 2-3 weeks and it keeps its shine great. Very satisfied with the product and the price!
When I first received this ring I was so happy. I'd done hours of research on the ring I wanted. This was the ring that beat them all out. Good reviews, or better than most, and beautiful to boot. I wore it everyday. I got scratched, but that's expected from Sterling Silver, it's a malleable metal. When the ring cracked, I got worried. It cracked where they'd extended the ring to make it fit my finger. I sent it off to have it fix. My fiance had the warranty for the ring. It came back weeks later, polished and shining. The crack was fixed, but there was still a chip where the crack was. That chip has since crossed the threshold of the ring and the ring is on the verge of cracking again. It has also cracked on the other end of the piece they added to extend the ring. On my way to work yesterday, I looked at my hand and noticed a diamond missing from the main four. I'm extremely upset. My wedding is in twelve days, definitely not enough time to purchase, re-size, and for a new ring to arrive. I warn any bride or bride-to-be that this ring is deceiving. I still wear it, as I cherish my status as wife-to-be, but we've all ready gone hunting for a new ring and it definitely won't be another of this one. These pictures were taken today. I apologize for the blurry images.
This is a very nice wedding set. I don't believe it is worth the $198 though. The picture on walmart.com looks a lot bigger. If you want this ring I would recommend going to the store and taking a look at it first. But over all it is an average looking ring. The price for 1/4 tw is nice when you are on a budget and would make any bride happy to wear. I have gotten a lot of rings from walmart and I can never seem to be happy with one. Sterling Silver is easily messed up. But again over all is good. I will add a couple of pictures to show. It does give off a nice sparkle of the diamonds which is nice.
I just received this ring from my fiance, I put the ring on and I love it! The price was cheaper then the second one I had fell in love with at walmart.com but I fell in love with all over again at the store. We are both pleased by finding the comfort and affordability of the ring itself to be astonishing. The 4C's was a plus and because I may need it re-sized they do that too, so I've been told!
I know that I am happy with this product now and I don't see a problem in the future but it could come along with this ring. The ring is beautiful and I do recommend it!
Just received my ring via Fedex and I was so surprised and PLEASED when I opened the box. OMG, This ring set is gorgeous! The diamonds are very clean and sparkle like mad and the silver is very shiny and beautiful. I am so happy with this set and for the price, it unimaginable! This ring set looks like it costs four times as much and nobody will have a clue, unless you tell them different. I highly recommend!
The ring is nice for the price we paid..although the band is a bit cloudy, In the grocery store under bright lights the ring shines like crazy! i got this ring as an engagement ring..this is just a starter ring for me till I get the one i really want when we get married. I think its worth the $200 bucks we spent on it, it dosent come in half sizes so the ring is always moving around. I would love it if it fit perfect. very pretty, I catch people staring at it sometimes..lol
I have had this ring for over a month and it is beautiful the sparkle and shine is unbeliveable for the price... I havent had any problems with the ring and I never take it off for showers or doing the dishes or cleaning ect.!! I recommend this ring and the matching grooms band for anybody thats on a tight budget.. We love it :)
I ordered it on Aug 21 paying one day shipping and I just got it today. It's a pretty cute ring but not anything like the pic makes it seem. I thought the bands would be wider and thicker but they aren't, and the diamonds are tiiiny. It's an alright ring, I'm proud to have it.
I love this ring, it is elegant and simple. in the picture it looks bigger than what it is but its beautiful. it is sharp on the top and bottom but nothing to like cut you. i would definatley get this ring! it didnt turn my finger green but it might on others but it will go away sterling silver is a little funky when your trying to get your skin used to it. If it starts looking dull and worn take some toothpaste or jewelry cleaner to it and it'll shine like new!
I just received my ring in the mail today and it is more beautiful than I ever imagined it could be! Before ordering this ring I looked at many different rings and read all of these reviews, and finally decided to go with this one. I made the best decision!!! It is so sparkly and looks like it cost thousands of dollars, it is an incredible value! The sterling silver is so shiny and adds to the sparkle of the gorgeous diamonds!!! I can't express in words how happy I am with the ring and my fiance was very pleased when he saw it as well (I insisted on picking out my own ring!). No pictures can do this ring justice you must see it in person, it is breathtaking. I was very cautious in making the decision to purchase this ring because there were a few (not very many) bad reviews about missing diamonds/tarnishing etc. However, with any ring there can be issues like that. Now that I have my ring I know that I made the right decision. I am so happy, and I know that if you pick this ring you will be too!
My husband just bought me this set because we're convinced our orignal set is jinxed. I got my ring today and I love it!!! It fits beautifully and it just sparkles. I'm so happy. I hope there are no horror stories in the future. But we'll see. Until then and if ever then. I LOVE THIS SET!!!!
My husband bought this ring for me (I browsed and chose this beautiful ring) and thought since the price was right, I would give it a go; glad I did. When I received the ring (I ordered online and chose Site to Store) it was more than perfect; shiny, just the right amount of diamonds, and the perfect size for me. I have never had a bridal set before (no money at the time) so it has taken some getting used to wearing, but I love them. The only thing that I would warn you about is if you have hard water (such as well water), I am not sure if it is the water or the softener for the water, but when I slipped up and washed my hands a couple times with my rings on, it turned the back of my wedding band a bronze color so I would definitely watch out for that. Also, the back of the rings scratch easily so that is just a tiny thing to watch out for. I of course got the protection plan so I am set for 2 years if anything happens to them. Overall, I am in love with these rings but definitely in the future I am going to want something a little more different just because we cannot afford more right now! Good luck to those who take their chances on this ring, because in my eyes, it was definitely worth it!
i have had my engagement ring for almost a year now and the only difference is mine has a few scratches on the back, like all my rings do. the diamonds are still intact never broke and it still shines. i do clean it about once every 3 months or so. i love this ring. its beautiful and i would recommend it.
my fiance gave me this ring for my 21st birthday in october and everyone loves them. i always get compliments on them and none of the stones have fallen out and it is very easy to clean. it is a little scratched on the band because i work with my hand a lot but it doesn't bother me. i love my rings. couldn't be happier.
This ring is very pretty. It is magnified in the picture on the website, but the ring really is a lot prettier in store. Ive had this set for a week now and it hasn't turned my finger green. It was also $50 more in store then online. It was exactly what I wanted, but well worth the money.

I have a task to create xcode4 project. The project will be used by other people to open with xcode4, build it and run. The problem is that we use wxWidgets library and by creating xcode project I have to make sure that it has valid wxWidget library path set.
To get valid wxWidgets lib path using terminal is simple:
wx-config --cxxflags

How to configure xcode to call these commands and use it's output to set library path?

I 'm a bit under the weather today, which for some reason makes me want to write something fun and useless. Behold three little stories of childhood crushes.
The Chair Lift Switch
The first girl I had a crush on was named Keely. I got my mom to take me to a toy store to buy her a present (a troll doll), which I then left on her desk. Anonymously, I think. I'm pretty sure that we were eventually "dating", but it's hard to remember since "dating" was just a title back then.
I do remember going on a ski trip with her, though. Her friend Caitlin asked to ride the chair lift up with me, and, on the way up, asked if I'd mind if Keely dated my friend. I was too polite to say anything besides "no, that's fine". Keely and my friend were riding the chairlift in front of us, and I imagine they had a similar conversation.
Not So Anonymous
He also "stole" another girl I was interested in. I met her in the "new to Texas" group as a freshman in High School. We had a mutual friend named Mary who somehow arranged for us to pass anonymous notes back and forth. I still have them. At Mary's insistence we had a phone call, back before the days of caller ID, and I somehow revealed my name by accident. Then my friend started dating her shortly after.
Three Bold Moves
A few years later I made friends with another friend's girlfriend, Dina. The two of them broke up, we continued to be friends, and one night I found myself in her girls-only dorm room. I think I was helping her on her computer, which is the one and only move geeks have, and it never works. As she was typing away, I got into her absent roommate's bed, and decided to try another move: the pretend-I-fell-asleep maneuver. Shockingly, it worked. Half an hour of silence later, she got in her bed. I pretended to be woken up, but too groggy to get back to my dorm. We talked for an hour or so and then started to fall asleep. After plenty of time for awkward silence, it was time for my third bold move of the night.
"So... are you really going to make me sleep in THIS bed?"
"Are you serious?"
"Umm.... Yes."
"Uh, I guess not."
I went into her bed and we made out. In front of her building there were three handicap spots that were never used. The car that I bought had handicap plates, which, of course, I never changed, so I'd park in those spots all the time. Her ex drove by the next day, saw the car, and was furious. Ten years later and it's still awkward between us.
She and I became boyfriend and girlfriend. One night, for no reason at all, she was furious with me online. She said she never wanted to talk to me again. I launched into hero mode. I drove my car to the back door of her dorm and called her. It was raining. I told her that I was going to stay in my car outside her place until she would talk to me. I thought that this was a really valiant display of masculine honor. She told me that she was kidding around when she said she didn't want to talk to me. Nothing was wrong at all. It was just a joke.
A month later we broke up. She sent me a really long email, which I still have, basically saying that I was a crappy boyfriend. She was right. We got back together a month later, and then I broke up with her a month after that. I wasn't thinking it at the time, but I suspect that the whole relapse was me subconsciously wanting to be the one who did the breaking up. She's the only ex I have who doesn't want to talk to me.
It took me until the Project Hollywood Days, but I did eventually learn that other friend's exes are off-limits no matter what.
wow, you are an ass, sir. parking in handicap spots "just cause you can" and hooking up with a friend's ex? that's really low.
Good timing. While you may have intended this as a "fun and useless" story, it does give me hope to move on. Just went through a harsh break up last week, and I doubt she'll ever talk to me again. I purchased "Make Her Chase You" specifically to learn how to win her over, and it worked flawlessly. For that I am indebted to you, Tynan. Now it's time for me to read it again and find someone better.
I was more F than A or C, but any way you look at it, I was an AFC. An Average Frustrated Chump. I had a crush on a girl named Renee, who lived on my floor in the dorm.
For weeks I lived in agony, wondering if she liked me. I'd make subtle hints and get back subtle responses which weren't nearly conclusive enough for me to do anything about it.
Things came to a head on Friday night. I had to ask her. Not in person, of course. On AIM.
So, i've been single for about 2-2,5 years now?
Last time I was dating a girl was the end of my sophomore year. Her name was Lisa. We had a very deep, yet shallow relationship. We were so close to each other we would do ridiculous things like blowing on each others stomach to make fart noises. Well, I did that to her. But she never really knew a deeper side of me. I didn't really share it. I had a strong resentment towards my good friend/Roommate, Allan, at the time, but I only spoke of it a few times. I had insecurities and dreams, but I never shared them. Same goes for her, I think. All in all, it was really shallow, but we were like best friends.
I went through therapy earlier this year, and I started thinking about things I've never thought of before. I've had a lot of bad relationships honestly. I've achieved a lot of my goals, but I've never quite been too comfortable in my own skin. Kind of weird I didnt notice that for 22 years. lol.
I started seeing a girl in Dallas, and then I suddenly moved to Austin. I dated her for a month and told her the day before I was leaving. It was the first relationship I had in about 1 year since dating Gabi. The moving company packed up my stuff while I went to go visit my co-teacher that I taught with at a middle school. She was the only person aside from a few friends that I wanted to say goodbye to. That was it. She yelled at me, and slapped me, and threw my keys at my face.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Love Mama's grits and hash, but man that place needs a serious update. Getting very tired and worn in a not-good way.
Intentionally or not, law enforcement is always part of the business plan of drug and human trafficking.
Christopher Fallis
Oakland, CA
Alex Gibney is hardly the one to "dig up" the cyberwar scare. There have been numerous documentaries on PBS about it. They have discussed Stuxnet at length.
This topic per se is not just an outrage movie - it's about life now.
While online data leaks affects consumers, businesses are now incredibly concerned about cybersecurity both for their customers as well as protecting their proprietary info. The utility industry is paranoid (but should be more so) about infrastructure attacks.
Janet Yellen, head of the Federal Reserve has already called cybersecurity the number one threat to the U.S. economy.
This is all far more important than the Repblican witch hunt on Hillary's email server.
The number one country in state on state cybersecurity is China.
The Bangladesh Bank attack threatened to create havoc in all of the world's banks, and we do not really know yet who the attacker is.
While Eastern European and Israeli and Argentinian hacker companies have decades of professional hacking under their belts, they will never be as fully funded as state hackers who have unlimited budgets at their disposal.
We weren't the first to launch an attack and we won't be the last (with Stuxnet)...
Helpful blog post , I learned a lot from the insight . Does someone know if my business would be able to find a fillable KY DoR 62A500 (P) form to fill out ?
Meanwhile where are our elected officials, especially Mayor Libby? Whose constant PR efforts are what she dos.
OTL (out to lunch).
306 people have been killed and 2,066 have been shot and injured in Chicago in 2016 alone. Hundreds more are dead in Baltimore, Detroit, st.louis, basically any black urban area is plagued by violence and death so I find it really had to get worked up over some extremely awful errors by law enforcement. But what is the real problem? Y
What a fantastic space! A cool club with comfy couches, excellent sound and great music. AND you can BYOB for no charge (they don't sell alcohol here).
Berkeley has been missing a smaller, more intimate place for acoustic music since the Freight grew up and became huge, and The Back Room fills this gap with style! I love the variety of music - folk, blues, soul, pop, world, bluegrass, Cajun, etc. - and it has a very chill, friendly vibe.
Dear Ms. St. Clair,
Despite the subject matter of the interviews you had with Kenneth Eugene Parnell, I must say that I really did enjoy reading your article; it was very well-written and gave me a sense of being right there with you. I usually lose interest in a story after the 2nd page, but you held my attention by bringing everyone in the article to life.
I realize that this article is 7 years old, but the story sparked my interest after seeing a Discovery Channel story about Cary Stayner on YouTube. I remember both stories very well because I've lived in Modesto for over 25 years. I saw the movie "I Know My Name Is Steven" when it came out on TV, and it left an impression on me. I could not imagine having to interview a man like Parnell, so I commend you for your bravery as well as your writing skills.
I raised my two kids in Modesto, and didn't realize how much crime history this small town has; The Lacy Peterson case; Sandra Levi case, and the 3 women murdered in Yosemite are among the most famous....and the most recent. To leave on a better note, this town did produce people like George Lucas, Timothy Olyphant, Jeremy Renner and many others who are famous for more credible things.
I hope to find more of your writings because I believe that they will be as interesting as this one.
I am inspired by this post to make our world better as drugs ruin lives of thousands of people every year and I reckon we should struggle to get rid of such a dangerous plant. Turn to http://customwriting-s.com/ to get more info.
What was this idiot thinking ,Lol, in the heat of the moment and cops falling down all over the place , this clown decides he wants to be a pimp now , and not just to anyone but the young lady who is knocking em down like bowling pins , but there's more than 10 so let's say Dominoes. This idiot is a very smart idiot , he's beyond idiot hahaha OMG I can't stop laughing hahaha , that was a knee slapper!!! Any other idiots wanna be a pimp while this is ongoing. What a Jackass!!
As a veteran who at 17 years of age made an oath to protect and defend this country I'm broken. Why is it that the mere presence of melanin is enough to cast doubt about my character, intellect, intent, or value before I even open my mouth? Why is it that my saying my life matters qualifies me as a racist? Why is my equality a threat to those who have it implicitly? Why do I have to beg and plead for my life to matter when I sacrificed my youth to protect a country that hates the very idea of a successful me? Why do the bigots who's freedom to speak I defended feel so comfortable speaking to me like trash. I've never hurt anyone, i am not a criminal' I am not a mutant, nor a super predator...I'm simply me and all I wanna know is why?
Some folks see the data I posted below and think it is false. They type angry replies and call me a liar. They say I'm just making it all up. They can't believe that if these numbers are correct, our government would still prohibit cannabis consumption. Yet my data is taken direct from the US Government's own Center for Disease Control website. I ask these angry folks to check my numbers for themselves and get back to me with any errors they find, then I never hear back. Franky I'm as shocked as those folks who get angry when they see the numbers.
Figures from the Center for Disease Control on numbers of deaths per year in the USA:
* Prescription Drugs: 237,485 + 5000 traffic fatalities
* Tobacco: 390,323
* Alcohol: 88,013 + 16,000 traffic fatalities
* Cocaine: 4,906
* Heroin: 7,200
* Aspirin: 466
* Acetaminophen (Tylenol): 179
* Marijuana: 0, none, not a single fatal overdose in all medical history and almost no traffic problems by comparison to prescription drugs and alcohol.
So, which is safer ???? Legalize, regulate and TAX!
Most of the trees that will be destroyed are no where near buildings.
Why do they hate us so?
UC Center for Fire Research and Outreach at Berkeley, which Jack Cohen is affiliated with would disagree. Having read some of their work, which formed the some of the basis of the Berkeley plan to remove Eucalyptus from their land in the hills, and advocated for a larger removal, they don't view Eucalyptus an equal to native tree species.
Jack Cohen has never published on Eucalyptus fires, nor presents himself as an expert on this type of forest fire. Rather than get into dueling fire scientists, I would note Mr Cohen advocates a 100 foot gap between buildings and a forest as the minimum for safety. The vast bulk of the trees slated for removal fail within this 100 foot gap.
We've been telling the public for years that this goes on... what will it take before you understand that the prohibition of consenting adult commercial sex ALWAYS leads to this type of corruption? While minors should not be engaging in the sex industry, the fact that it is against the law means that cops use the laws for their own ends. Decriminalize consenting adult commercial sex- PERIOD!
Further to Eric's excellent reply to "geykerry"'s attempt to minimize the issues here, it should be noted that in the model for decriminalization of prostitution , New Zealand (the place of my birth) the actions of the law enforcement outline in the story are all illegal. In fact about a decade ago there was a similar case of a culture of one North Island city's police force having sex with young women who were exploited.
Several officers and ex-officers faced long trials on rape charges and though they were unsuccessful (due to the jury finding the actions consensual) in conviction, all the officers who where still in the force were dismissed, losing their police pensions, including a senior officer who was at that stage 3rd in line to being NZ's Police Commissioner, the highest post a Police officer can hold.
Even in a decriminalized system the Police's actions outlined in the story are completely unacceptable and corrupt.
Mr. O'Sullivan describes a firestorm in Australia. He could just as easily be describing a firestorm here in Western North America where wildfires consume thousands of acres of native trees and vegetation every year. Such firestorms also occur in Australia where the climate is similar and in that case the trees are predominantly eucalyptus. Eucalyptus trees are not inherently more flammable than bay laurel which contains twice as much oil in its leaves nor are they taller than our resinous conifers. Rather the fire conditions are weather related and the consequences for human development is where we choose to build our homes and how we maintain them.
Jack Cohen is a world renowned fire scientist at the US Forest Service fire science laboratory in Missoula, Montana. He has evaluated eucalyptus fires here and in Australia and says of our 1991 fire: "This indicates that the eucalyptus trees did not burn with high intensities (or any intensity) leading to home destruction. This strongly suggests that eliminating eucalyptus and replacing it with some other vegetation would not prevent future WU fire disasters because the problem was inappropriately defined as a eucalyptus vegetation problem and not a home ignition-home ignition zone problem." Here is his assessment, including the photos he supplied to illustrate his conclusion: https://milliontrees.me/2016/05/06/fire-sc…
There are many reasons why people defend our urban forest. Aesthetics has little to do with my motivation for defending it. We have lost 66 million native trees in California in the past few drought years and millions more are expected to die. These dead trees are, indeed, a fire hazard, yet we are wasting millions of dollars destroying living, healthy trees that are expected to live another 200-300 years. Such voluntary and natural deforestation is contributing to climate change and the warming climate is the primary cause of increasing wildfires and the death of our native trees. I am as concerned about fire safety as Mr. O'Sullivan.
What does it take to get the cops to investigate themselves?
