I bought these towels because the description say they are organic. When they arrived - the label does not say organic. I called Pure Fiber, the company who makes them, gave them the item number from the tag and was told that these are not organic towels. If organic matters to you, as it does me, do not buy these towels.
plush and decorative--look great in my bathroom, wash well love the design
The towels are well made and durable after the first wash. No fading or loss of fiber after the first wash. The texture and thickless is well made. I would highly recommend this product to my friends. I only wished that it came as a set with hand towels.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The blue color is exactly as shown.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very good quality
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Exactly as described.

I was hoping to have a PC kill a NPC. in essence I was using the dark brotherhood start quest from skyrim for inspiration. so you could just call it a contract killing and resolve it like a combat. but I didn't know if it would relate to a specific skill check or mechanic. also at the moment we only have the starter set and don't have all feats, skills or classes available to us. although we are looking to purchace the core book after our enjoyment of our first few games.
It all depends on how the assassin wants to kill the target. If they're sleeping coup de grace is good. Using a poison is another option. My favorite missions from the dark brotherhood were when you could make it look like an accident. (Weakening supports on a balcony) But in the end it really should be up to the playerto decide how they approach the problem. Your job is to give them a problem to solve and maybe hints on how it can be solved, then taking their solution and interpreting proper skills/abilities to use for it.
Ex. Disguise to make yourself look unassuming
Stealth to follow him from the pub.
Bluff to lure him into a dark alley.
Silence spell to muffle any sound of a struggle.

Excellent!I have been using it for the past 3 months. Biotique shampoo did not make my hair dry. Rather it cleanses and moisturizes my hair. I was initially afraid thinking "Shampoo with conditioners" will leave my hair dry. But i was wrong. my hair is now soft and shining. you need to apply more get it froth. Thats the only minus. I will recommend it to my frnz.

"An Apple a day keeps the Hair Problems Away"Wow is the one word which comes into my mind while thinking about the product.It has a very pleasant green apple smell which captures you once you open the Bottle.You need to take very limited quantity of the shampoo if you apply on the dry hair and a little more if you apply on the oiled hair.Post the rinsing you will feel the volume build up of the hair and the hair feels great,though a touch dry but not at all problematic.Most importantly you know that you are not damaging your hair by pouring the chemicals into it.Its a really good product.I am going to continue with this shampoo for as mu… (Expand)

Didn't like it at allGot this product last week from Flipkart and used it once only.. It left my hair dry and the conditioner is no good..! Its ayurvedic product and not a cosmetic one, so may be that's why it is like that.. So please think twice before buying this..

2 in 1 collection for new growing hairs......This shampoo has a very nice green apple smell. I have used this product for 2 weeks now and after every wash i can see the improvement with my hairs. Generally i oil my hair with biotique bio bhingraj and then wash it down. In early 2 washes i didn't feel good as it left my hairs dry and frizzy. But gradually after every alternate day usage it has made my hairs rich in shine and texture. My hairs feel good. The hair fall will not decrease drastically as it will take time but u will experience good smell from your hairs.

Shampoo + ConditionerIm a metal head dude so I have hair till my waist and this shampoo serves the purpose for say, about 3 hours at max. Its not bad considering pantene and h&s shampoos barely last 1 hour on my hair. However, the shampoo is amazing, it does exactly what its supposed to.

A big NO for dry and fizzy hair!This is strictly a no for dry hair... Its organic but it makes your hair sticky while shampooing and the hair breaks and it becomes way too dry. So if you want an organic shampoo for dry hair, giovanni shampoos does a decent job!

Proteinuria can also be a result of overproduction of proteins by the body.
Kidney disease often has no early symptoms. One of its first signs may be proteinuria that's discovered by a urine test done during a routine physical exam. Blood tests will then be done to see how well the kidneys are working.
Risk Factors for Proteinuria
The two most common risk factors for proteinuria are:
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
Both diabetes and high blood pressure can cause damage to the kidneys, which leads to proteinuria.
Other types of kidney disease unrelated to diabetes or high blood pressure can also cause protein to leak into the urine. Examples of other causes include:
- Medications
- Trauma
- Toxins
- Infections
- Immune system disorders
Increased production of proteins in the body can lead to proteinuria. Examples include multiple myeloma and amyloidosis.
Other risk factors include:
- Obesity
- Age over 65
- Family history of kidney disease
- Preeclampsia (high blood pressure and proteinuria in pregnancy)
- Race and ethnicity: African-Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics, and Pacific Islanders are more likely than whites to have high blood pressure and develop kidney disease and proteinuria.
Some people get more protein into urine while standing than while lying down. That is known as orthostatic proteinuria.
Treatment of Proteinuria
Proteinuria is not a specific disease. So its treatment depends on identifying and managing its underlying cause. If that cause is kidney disease, appropriate medical management is essential.
Untreated chronic kidney disease can lead to kidney failure.
In mild or temporary proteinuria, no treatment may be necessary.
Drugs are sometimes prescribed, especially in people with diabetes and/or high blood pressure. These may come from two classes of drugs:
- ACE inhibitors (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors)
- ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers)
Proper treatment -- especially in patients with chronic disease such as diabetes and high blood pressure -- is essential to prevent the progressive kidney damage that is causing the proteinuria.

How can I disable BAStats after I already upgraded, but I can get to any of the pages? Is there a way to manually disable it?
How can I disable BAStats after I already upgraded, but I can get to any of the pages? Is there a way to manually disable it?
I initially got a blank page too, until I ran upgrade.php and all is humming along quite nicely now. Thanks for the hard work all.
everything is uploaded, cleared the cache - tried viewing from a diff machine also - nuttin
cyberhomie: Try renaming the plugin file ? That should stop it loading
I think there might be a problem with Asymptomatic's latest release of Exhibit as well, but i can't be sure. Anyone else have any issues with it?
Go directly to your admin and try activating a different theme. To deactivate a plugin you can delete it or rename it.
Mmmmmm :-). Seems to be working so far. Haven't played with all plugins, but my main functions are just fine, and both trackbacks and pingbacks are now working as advertised on Dreamhost - thanks to the devs for sorting that out, and of course to Podz for the test site[1].
And a word of advice if I may - people, if you're going to edit core files, *keep a record* in a text file. Saves a lot of pain later.
[1] And for everything else he does here :-)
My website just doesn't work anymore after the upgrade. I cannot even login to the admin part. It looked so promising, but there must have been some compatability issue with wp_users_online that I used.
That is probably the most disappointing upgrade I have ever made.
The error message is:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_currentuserinfo() in /customers/brams.dk/brams.dk/httpd.www/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php on line 169
Let me know if there is anything I can do to avoid starting from scratch again.
I put a # before the BAStats folder (renamed it) in pluggins and that fixed it
Thanx for the help guys
I used this guide (mostly, I got lazy and just used my ftp overwrite on the root files) and everything is running smoothly. *thumbs up*
Also, like I said, I used overwrite on the root files and it worked for me, but it might not work for you. Follow the guide to the letter. :)
Edit: btw... if you use dropdown_cats with the code edit to template-functions-category.php, the code to comment out is now on lines 196 and 215 (not 208 and 227 as it states in the codex).
tbrams...just roll back to your v1.5 backup...
Change the width back from 99% to 95% in wp-admin.css
then it is better viewable in IE explorer to.
Search for the following line.
#template textarea {
font: small 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
width: 99%;
I ran into the same error as you, tbrams. It turns out that I forgot to do step 7; after doing it, though, everything worked fine.
Item #3. In my version of wp-images for WP 1.5, I was missing get-firefox.png -- it was coming up as a broken image after upgrading. Not sure if anyone else experienced the missing png file...
I am confident that there is a severe compatibility problem with the wp_list_user plugin. I have rolled back to 1.5 to disable this and attempt to upgrade again.
Sorry for the panic - it's not the kind of surprise I was expecting just before going to bed (It's 2 mins past midnight here in Denmark).
vkaryl: Yes, I cleared and refreshed the cache.
podz: I don't use any of the themes. Back in the pre-theme day I wrote my own index page and haven't used the theme system at all.
And I did run upgrade.php.
So far so good here!
The Exhibit gallery is not working with 1.5.1. Apparently it is calling a function called get_currentuserinfo() that has been moved over to the new pluggable_functions.php file and is not finding it. Disable that plug-in before upgrading!
After disabling the troublesome plugin that was calling get_currentuserinfo() the upgrade went just fine.
Looks great - thanks for all the hard work and for making sure that you reminded all of us to back up the existing tables as step 1 in the upgrade guide
Which version of Exhibit are you using? Mine seems fine (I'm using Exhibit 1.5d)
The risk is not yet public knowledge.
Well, ok then. Motivation enough for the upgrade. Just did three sites, instructions were flawless. Excellent work, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you!
Here's another instance of Exhibit not working with the new version. I'm running the latest (asy) version from his website. I'm guessing that there is an easy fix to point it to the file that has the get_currentuserinfo() function, but I haven't had a chance to look too far into it.
I fixed teh Exhibit bug by simply delving into the exhibit10.php plugin file and adding this line right before the get_currentuserinfo() call:
$incfile = 'wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php';
$incfile = '../' . $incfile;
if($c==30) {
echo "Could not find pluggable-functions.php.";
So dirty. So hacky. Whatcha gonna do right?
There is a similar piece of code directly above the get_currentuserinfo() call that does the same thing when looking for wp_config.php. Apparently the creator of Exhibit used a lot of dirty hacks too ;D
I am only keeping Exhibit around for old "legacy" posts that used it as I call most of my new photos from Flickr Gallery now.
If you forgot to disable a plugin that has ben mentioned to cause errors after the upgrade (IOW, you can't get to the plugin panel to disable it), download the plugin file, edit so that it only has the plugin header, and upload the edited file. You should be able to disable the plugin now.
For example, BA Stats would be:
Plugin Name: BAStats
Plugin URI: http://asymptomatic.net/wp-hacks
Description: This plugin calculates statistics for a WordPress weblog.
Author: Owen Winkler
Version: 1.0β build 6
Author URI: http://asymptomatic.net
And, Entity2NCR would be:
Plugin Name: Entity2NCR
Plugin URI: http://guff.szub.net/entity2ncr
Description: Converts » and the like to their numeric equivalents.
Version: 0.1
Author: Kaf Oseo
Author URI: http://szub.net
That works...I just fixed it another route by copying the function get_currentuserinfo() and get_userdatabylogin() from pluggable-functions.php to functions.php. I think kinki's is the more elegant approach though, especially as it seems that exhibit development has pretty much progressed as much as it's going to go.
Due to the remarkably clear instructions, I just upgraded my four installs with zero problems.
Thanks podz. And thanks to the developers for getting this out.
[[Guess I should have noted that of all the plugins I use, the only one I had a problem with was one for which I forgot NOT to delete a data file in the WP root folder. Had to reupload the file, all is fine.]]
Maybe it's just me, but perhaps you want to clarify steps 5 and 7. The way I read it the first time, the only files to change were the directories outlined in step 5. You skip to talking about themes in 6, and then mention "files" in 7. It may be easier to just say Delete and replace everything except the config file and the content directory, including all files within wp-admin and wp-includes.
Could have just been me though.
Guys, one quick question about theme:
If I'm using my own theme, when upgrading from 1.5 to 1.5.1, should I do any change on my theme files?
I'm asking this because I've been told that you've done some changes on "Classic" and "Default" theme files.
Thank you!
TigerTor - No.
If your theme works, do not feel that you must update the default and classic themes. It is entirely optional.
Miklb - I'm aware I could have written it somewhat better.
podz, I was not trying to correct you, I was simply trying to convey a sense of confusion, as to perhaps prevent someone else's.
Regardless, thanks for the thread.

Airbus's A380 Bypasses Hubs to Target Smaller Cities
Airbus SAS's A380 superjumbo, designed to carry 500 people per flight between the world's biggest airport interchanges, is carving out an unexpected new market with direct travel to non-hub cities.
Singapore Airlines Ltd., the first company to operate the A380 in 2007, is cutting costs by using the plane to reduce the number of flights to Zurich without slashing capacity. Gulf carrier Emirates has deployed it to Manchester in northern England, adding seats without the expense of extra services.
More than 70 airports are equipped to handle the A380, which has a 262-foot (80-meter) wingspan and is 239 feet long, with Munich and Berlin among non-hubs seeking to secure flights from the five carriers that operate the plane and the 10 others with orders. The development is a boost for the Airbus flagship, which has won only one new airline buyer since it first flew.
"The A380 was designed as a replacement for the 747, but as it's deployed we're finding that the execution is very often different than the forecast," said Chris Tarry, an independent analyst in London who has followed the industry for almost 30 years. "Airlines need to match capacity with demand, and if you want to move lots of people in one go the A380 does just that."
Auckland, Jeddah
Of the 20 destinations that the A380 currently serves, six -- Manchester, Zurich, Auckland, Melbourne, Montreal and Jeddah, the second-largest city in Saudi Arabia -- are absent from Airbus's list of what it predicts will be the top 20 airports for the plane.
For flights from smaller cities the A380 works best as a "strategic tool" when there's no need for a high number of daily frequencies, Richard Carcaillet, Airbus's marketing director for the model, said in an interview.
"It's logical to use the A380 where there's the potential to increase traffic with one well-timed flight that catches the peak of demand and reduces your spill, or traffic that's left behind because an aircraft is too small," the executive said.
Emirates, the No. 1 A380 customer with 13 in its fleet out of 90 on order, began operating the superjumbo to Jeddah four times a week in February, switching to a daily service in June.
Manchester was added to the network last month, with the A380 replacing one of two daily Boeing Co. 777s and funneling a potential 525 more people a week to the Dubai hub the carrier is building as a rival to airports such as London Heathrow.
"There were some very clear traffic flows which were calling for the A380," Emirates Chief Executive Officer Tim Clark said in an interview. "The seat factors on Manchester flights were very high, which required an increase in gauge."
Crowd Puller
The coming of the A380, which attracted 20,000 spectators for its first flight to Manchester, is "massively important" and was secured at a cost of 10 million pounds ($15.9 million) in upgrades, said Andrew Harrison, the airport's managing director, who is hopeful the remaining 777 service might be switched to the superjumbo.
Manchester, which handled 22 million people last year, ranking it fourth among U.K. airports, had initially regarded Boeing's 787 Dreamliner as a more likely candidate for flights because the model is smaller and designed for direct services that don't involve hub transfers, Harrison said in an interview.
"We always talked about the Dreamliner being potentially more our kind of aircraft," he said. "It would support longer haul and what we call in the business 'thinner routes.' But the Emirates route has proved to have loads of demand."
Emirates' Clark says "similar points" in Germany, France, Asia, South Africa, Italy and China could support the superjumbo and lists Hamburg, Munich, Dusseldorf, Rome and Milan as possible destinations for the future.
Singapore Switch
Singapore Airlines deployed the A380 strategically in March when it replaced 12 weekly Boeing Co. 777 flights to Zurich -- which ranks as Switzerland's biggest city but isn't among the largest 150 in Europe -- with a daily superjumbo service.
With the 777 seating 278 people and the A380 some 471, flights were reduced at a cost of 39 seats a week, maintaining feed to Singapore for connections across Asia and Australia while allowing a spare Boeing to be used for services to Munich.
"This is operationally more efficient as mounting more flights carries incremental costs for landing, parking, over-flight and air traffic control, as well as for a full set of cabin and technical crew and additional fuel consumption," said Nicholas Ionides, a spokesman for the carrier, which is the second-largest in the world by market value.
Among secondary airports identified by Clark as likely A380 destinations, Munich, which opened in 1992, is "well prepared" for the superjumbo, having been built with a plane of its size in mind, according to spokesman Peter Pruemm.
Berlin Ambitions
The model has operated test flights to the south-German city "several times," though no airlines have plans for scheduled services this year or next, he said.
Berlin's new airport, which opens in June 2012, will have a gate that is A380 compatible and is expecting to receive flights, said spokesman Leif Erichsen. Berlin is almost unique in being a capital city while lacking a major hub, with long-haul German flights focused on Frankfurt, he said.
Airbus, which is owned by European Aeronautic, Defence & Space Co., markets the A380 as more fuel-efficient than older, smaller jets and says it helps alleviate congestion at major airports. EADS was trading down 5.5 cents, or 0.2 percent, at
17.82 euros as of 1:18 p.m. in Paris, paring gains this year to 26 percent and valuing the company at 14.5 billion euros.
Cocktail Bars
Airlines that operate the superjumbo -- which include Air France, Deutsche Lufthansa SA and Qantas Airways Ltd., as well as Emirates and Singapore Air -- say the plane is also creating its own market, luring flyers with a double-decker layout and on-board perks such as first-class cabins and cocktail bars.
According to Airbus's projections the five busiest airports for so-called very large aircraft by 2028 will be Hong Kong, Heathrow, Beijing, Dubai and Tokyo Narita, with 12 of the top 20 located in the Asia-Pacific.
David Gamper, Geneva-based director of safety and technical affairs at the Airports Council International group, said the A380's natural home may be "thicker hub-to-hub routes," but that it will "migrate to thinner routes" as deliveries mount.
"There are a lot of airports around the world which can accept the A380, usually with very little modification," he said in an interview. "And more will need to accommodate it simply due to the number of airlines getting the plane."

Finance minister George Osborne on Wednesday unveiled plans to further slash British public spending as the government clings to austerity, despite a pledge to also boost investment of railways and roads.
Osborne, a key Conservative member of a coalition administration alongside junior partners the Liberal Democrats, vowed "no let up" in his deficit-slashing reforms presented before parliament.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Osborne said the government would cut spending by £11.5 billion ($17.7 billion, 13.6 billion euros) for the 2015/2016 financial year, which largely follows Britain's next general election.
"The action we have taken together with the British people has ... taken our economy back from the brink of bankruptcy," he said in reference to austerity measures implemented since taking office in 2010.
"Britain is moving out of intensive care and from rescue to recovery... Today we announce the latest action to secure the recovery."
The opposition Labour party has already pledged to stick to the coalition's spending plans, should it win national polls in May 2015.
Osborne on Wednesday added that Britain needed to act to combat the impact of "challenges from abroad" like the eurozone crisis and high oil prices.
The government will gain £5.0 billion -- almost half of the total cuts -- via a new efficiency drive across the civil service, he revealed.
"We have been... driving down costs, renegotiating contracts and reducing the size of government," Osborne told parliament.
Public sector pay increases will be capped at one percent for 2015/16.
And automatic progression pay -- whereby millions of public sector workers receive automatic annual pay increases for time served in addition to inflation-linked rises -- will be scrapped.
Osborne described the system as "deeply unfair" to those in the private sector who pay for them. But he added that government expenditure on health, schools and foreign aid would be protected in 2015/16.
A range of other government departments would meanwhile face average cutbacks of between eight and ten percent during the future financial year, which runs from April to March.
And Osborne said that welfare benefit claimants who did not speak English would be compelled to attend language courses. Claimants who are not prepared to learn English would have their benefits cut.
"This is a reasonable requirement in this country. It will help people find work," Osborne said.
The review -- or Spending Round 2013 -- set out how Britain will spend a total of £740 billion of taxpayers' cash in 2015/2016.
Britain's free-to-all National Health Service (NHS) budget will stand at £110 billion in the year.
"We need to find another £11.5 billion of further savings" across all government departments, Osborne added.
"Finding savings on this scale has not been easy -- these are difficult decisions. There never was an easy way to bring spending under control," he said.
The coalition would meanwhile stick to a path of austerity despite the country's fragile economic recovery.
"We will not let up. I will not let that happen. The reform will continue," Osborne told lawmakers, vowing to continue to slash the record deficit inherited from Labour in 2010.
"We have always believed that the deficit mattered... that we needed to take tough decisions to deal with our debts."
The chancellor added that state borrowing was due to fall to £108 billion in the current 2013/2014 financial year.
Osborne added that he would also use the new savings to invest £50 billion in education, science, roads and railways -- which do not form part of the government's day-to-day spending -- in 2015/16.
Britain's economy returned to growth in the first quarter of this year, with gross domestic product expansion of 0.3 percent according to the latest official data. In doing so, the country avoided its third recession since the 2008 global financial crisis.
The International Monetary Fund has declared that Britain was "a long way" from a sustainable economic recovery, and called last month for greater infrastructure spending to accelerate growth and offset austerity.

The Captain of Köpenick, National Theatre | Theatre reviews, news & interviews
The Captain of Köpenick, National Theatre
Antony Sher takes on the Prussian authorities in a comedy banned by the Nazis
A little man takes on Authority and fails. A little man dons a colourful uniform, complete with boots and spiked helmet, and he becomes Authority. Carl Zuckmayer wrote Der Hauptmann von Köpenick in 1931, two years before Hitler came to power.
Wilhelm Voigt, the real-life subject of the drama, had his moment of fame as the ersatz Captain of Grenadier Reserves in 1906. An anti-militarist aware of the growing Nazi threat and declared "half Jewish" because one of his grandfathers was Jewish, Zuckmayer was clearly writing about his own time as much as the early 1900s. He described his satire – in some ways an echo of Gogol's The Government Inspector - as a fairytale, and was criticised for failing to make it sufficiently political, but the Nazis nevertheless saw fit to ban it. The question is whether the story of the little man lost in the Prussian bureaucratic machine still resonates for a 21st-entury audience. In Adrian Noble's rollicking production of Ron Hutchinson's new version the answer must be, ultimately, yes.
Voigt is a thief who, having scarcely been out of prison, has no papers. Released after his latest (15-year) stint, he attempts to join society, to find somewhere to live, and get a job, but without a residence permit he officially does not exist; he is "an administrative oddity". Until the interval, his rackety life on the street or dossing at his sister's shop is intertwined with the story of the self-important little mayor - the excellent Anthony O'Donnell (pictured above right) and his specially tailored uniform. Voigt's underlying humanity is revealed as he cares for his sister's dying lodger, with whom he shares the symbolic folktale of The Musicians of Bremen in which dispossessed animals frighten robbers more powerful than themselves.
When the uniform is damaged and sent to a fancy dress shop, Voigt acquires it and then the real fun begins. A group of soldiers see, not the man, but the clothes and obey his every command. Even now, what he really wants is registration papers so they march purposefully on the town hall and further chaos ensues. But, when he gives himself up he is rewarded, finally, with bureaucratic recognition.
Adrian Noble makes full use of the NT's technical assets, giving the revolve a workout as Anthony Ward's sets change swiftly from prison to doss house to tenement, from mess ball to cemetery to town hall against a cartoonish suggestion of an overcrowded cityscape. There is much fun with brass band music and Keystone Kops-style chases. Parallels with the shortcomings of our own bureaucracy, especially the convolutions of the benefits system, are there to be picked up but are not hammered home. Voigt's assessment of his moment of celebrity as a great achievement also rings bells for the X Factor generation.
His exploits provide the Kaiser with a giggle because he has demonstrated that the people (who here seem on the verge of revolution) can be led easily enough by authority. The final moments underline this as goose-stepping marchers readily follow a uniform, now apparently moving entirely without human aid, beneath banners decorated with the Imperial German eagle.
Hutchinson enjoys a pun: Voigt, having been set to work in prison, declares: "I made a good doormat." Despite the efforts of a busy ensemble, however, it seems a long time before the glorious moment when Voigt acquires not just a change of clothes but a new – temporary – persona. Antony Sher as the victim-cum-hero relishes every second, both as the Chaplinesque little survivor and as the strutting, quick-thinking captain. This is a delightful, gleeful performance, sympathetic without being sentimental and very funny.
- The Captain of Köpenick at the National Theatre until 4 April

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: May 01st, 2002
Running Time: 106
Director: Nacho Vidal
Company: New Sensations
Cast: Teo (I), Nacho Vidal, Mandy (I), Nikki (I), Laura (I), Toni Ribas, Barbarella (I) (Hungarian), Tiffany (I), Lisa Sxi, Red Angel
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Considering Vidal's rising stature as a performer/director, stock prominent in the Euro section.
Nacho and his crew do a take-off on that '70s porn thing, complete with ruffles and polyester shirts in this strokable fuckfest.
But, like all clothes in porn, it's temporary and soon forgotten at the sight of the first naked woman. The three men triple-team this fine piece of European ass, though Nacho exercises his director's privilege and fucks the blonde. She doesn't speak much English, but she puts her mouth to good use sucking Vidal's cock and screaming in ecstasy. "She is beautiful," Vidal says after he's done spooging his fuckjuice in her face.
Other standouts include the third scene, where Vidal and Ribas share two cute-as-a-button brunettes, use them for their own perverted ends and have them groaning in heated passion. Excellent group fucking, which concludes with Ribas screwing both girls like an out of control machine. The pair wear out Ribas, who suck him off after he's cum. Just as impressive is the closer, with what looks like a double-vag with Teo and Vidal on a brunette after Vidal loosens up a blonde who looks like she doesn't take über-sized units too often.
