15 Sexiest Tattoo Placements for Men & Women
Your skin will become irresistible with these tattoos
People get tatted up for so many different reasons. The most shallow (and popular) reason to get a tattoo is to make yourself look a little hotter to the opposite gender. We don't judge if that's what you want to do! We'd actually like to offer you some advice in the matter. If you're going to get a piece of permanent skin art to be more attractive, you should consider getting it in one of these proven hot spots.
There is absolutely something to be said about where a person decides to place their tattoos, and some areas are more attractive than others…

Over the past few months, PFLA has been involved in a number of public and industry forums with both the business community and the forest industry—actively engaged and advocating on behalf of private forest owners.
In late October, we were invited to participate in a forestry seminar "Trends, Issues & Opportunities for Wood in the 21st Century" at the Vancouver Island Economic Alliance's annual summit. Other panel speakers included Tim Caldecott from FP Innovations and Peter Moonen from WoodWORKS! BC.
The session examined the market, social, technical and regulatory trends impacting wood products, and asked the question "What does the future hold for forests and wood in the 21st Century?"
We also participated in the inaugural "Workshop of Wood Fibre Availability Forum" hosted by UBC in mid-September and attended by a wide range of stakeholders from the coastal forest industry, government, First Nations, and academia.
Throughout this process we've noticed some recurring themes:
- Getting the coastal log processing industry together and asking them to think about changing what they're doing to better face the global market is a lot like getting the turkeys together and asking them to plan Thanksgiving dinner — nobody wants to put turkey on the menu.
- The coastal processing sector chose to build subsidized logs into their business model and lumber, veneer, pulp, paper and bioenergy sectors are unwilling to consider paying international prices for logs or wood fibre.
- This is an economic problem, not a fibre supply problem, but nobody in the room is willing to talk about economics. The 2013 harvest was 20.8 million m3 and coastal mills processed 12 million m3, which means there is a huge log surplus. Participants want to blame the government, stumpage rates, other licencees, the tenure system, the stumpage system and log exports, but nobody wants to address economics.
- As long as our governments continue to create the situation where mills can acquire wood below the international price, mills are going to continue to drive the price down and distort the market rather than focus on running globally competitive businesses.
- If you're serious about reducing log exports you need to create a competitive processing sector — the inability to compete is why mills have closed and why they will continue to close.
What does it mean for private forest owners?
Private forest owners face major challenges when it comes to getting international prices for our wood:
- The costs associated with the surplus test process
- The economic impact if we're forced to sell our logs domestically
- For every log we're able to export we incur significant administrative, delay and handling costs
The sad thing is low stumpage rates and cheap log policies don't actually work — mills continue to close. There hasn't been any real investment or innovation in coastal mills for decades, despite access to the cheapest logs on earth.
The processing sectors' inability, or reluctance, to pay competitive log prices indicates the lack of modern, world-class, globally competitive, large-scale log processing plants on the B.C. coast. This is bad for everyone. If B.C.'s tree growers were offered competitive log prices from local mills we wouldn't need to export any logs.
What does is mean for the Canadian lumber industry?
As we approach the next round of Softwood Lumber Agreement (SLA) negotiations, American interests are looking closely at policies and practices in B.C. that reduce domestic log costs. A review of the US Pacific North West price data illustrates how dramatically low B.C. log prices and stumpage rates are in comparison.
B.C.'s failure to embrace international pricing and meaningful competition for logs directly subsidizes domestic mills and puts the entire Canadian lumber industry in a vulnerable position at the negotiating table.
The risk in continuing to allow market manipulations to occur is that it leaves no time period for industry to adjust when the government of Canada is eventually forced to make changes (by the courts, an international body or an international trade agreement); the consequences, in terms of mill closures, could be dramatic.
A sign of strong leadership and vision, to the benefit of all Canadians, is for government and industry to start making changes now to build a healthy, globally competitive business based on international pricing.

Ashton Kutcher must be one of the luckiest men alive. He was recently snapped leading Demi Moore and Penelope Cruz out and about. Seriously?? Two beautiful ladies? Not to mention, read their body language. Ashton leads them as they walk behind both holding his hand. If only Ashton had a third arm, he could lead me too :wink:. And seen in the hand of Penelope, is the stunning Tod's Capucine Pochette. This new number from Tod's is a refined black satin clutch with smooth leather trim and an engraved gold metal closure.

A fresh take on a traditional Thai dish.
Coconut Curry Chicken
1 cup FAGE Total 0% Greek Yogurt
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
3 cloves garlic, grated
Juice and finely grated zest of 1 lime
2 tbsp mild Madras curry powder
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 to 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp canola oil
2 limes, halved
Apple-Cucumber-Mint Raita
1 cup FAGE Total 0% Greek Yogurt
1 small Granny Smith apple, cored and grated
½ English cucumber, seeded and grated
12 fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
Finely grated zest of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Mint, chopped for garnish
- Coconut Curry Chicken
- Whisk together the yogurt, coconut milk, curry powder, garlic and salt and pepper in a medium baking dish until smooth. Add the chicken breasts, top-side down, then turn over to coat completely. Make sure the chicken breasts are entirely covered in marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours (the longer the chicken sits, the better the flavor). Optional: Add juice and finely grated zest of 1 lime to marinade.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking (to take the chill off). Remove from the marinade and put on a large plate or baking sheet. Wipe some of the excess marinade off with paper towels.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Place the chicken in the pan, top-side down, and cook until golden brown and crust has formed, about 4 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over and continue cooking until bottom is golden brown too, about 4 minutes longer. Place chicken in pan into oven for approximately 6-8 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Top chicken with raita, or serve it on the side. Garnish with fresh mint. Optional: Squeeze the juice from a lime half over each chicken breast and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Apple-Cucumber-Mint Raita
- Stir together all ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Massachusetts government and law enforcement officials have introduced proposals in the hopes of expanding the limits of secret wiretapping. The reasoning behind the expansion is the purported goal of more easily gathering evidence against criminal suspects, such as with drug crimes.
According to state Attorney General Martha Coakley, the current wire tapping law has not been revised since 1968, and officials feel that it has become outdated. Coakley's office released a statement summarizing the proposed changes. Most notably, authorities would still need a warrant to wiretap suspects, but the targets would not have to be members of a bona fide organized crime group, such as the Mafia. Additionally, once a warrant has issued for a wiretap under the new law, the revisions would extend the amount of time it could be used from 15 days to 30 days, which the statement claims is consistent with federal law
As a defense attorney, these proposals raise many concerns regarding the rights of criminal suspects. The intended purpose for using wiretaps, is to target individuals who may have sophisticated methods of evading law enforcement, such as those involved in organized crime. The use of wiretaps could lead to monitoring of individuals' private conversations for long periods of time, and may additionally impinge on the privacy rights of the innocent individual engaged on the other end of the conversation. This could amount to the sort of unreasonable searches and seizures that are protected against by the Fourth Amendment.

It's the repository for CakePHP rapid development framework and also home for everything useful for CakePHP developers like the debug_kit for CakePHP.
Here's what I did to connect successfully to TheChaw repository, I use the GIT Extensions which can be found here: GIT EXTENSIONS I also use putty from the putty project download the complete package.
Create an SSH Key using Puttygen I use SSH-2 RSA 1024, save your private and public key to any directory. Make sure to enter a key phrase if you want to change it and also to secure it.
Copy your OpenSSH key (its the key that says: Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized key files) from your puttygen screen logged in to your account at the chaw repository http://thechaw.com and paste your SSH key in the field for the GIT in your account.
To register your public key open pageant and select add key. Browse for your private key file that you generated using puttygen. Install your GIT Extensions and put this in the path in your environment variables by selecting the control panel >>> system >> advanced>>>path>>> selecte edit and add it as your last entry then save GIT_SSH=C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe.
To register thechaw.com in your registry open putty and type in the hostname as thechaw.com port 22 select SSH and click open. It will now prompt you to save the server fingerprint in your registry just go ahead and accept it.

A special panel discussion on 'Gender Equal- The Workplace of the Future'
Chennai, April 25th, 2016: Empowering Women in IT (eWIT), a first-of its kind voluntary, not-for-profit women's forum in India, today celebrated its 10th anniversary amongst the IT glitterati in Chennai.

There are few things a newborn photographer loves more than a prepared Mama! Sarah was definitely an earlier booker, contacting me in January for her July due date!! That seems to be a trend these days and I'm really enjoying it since the type-A planner in me loves to have a schedule mapped months in advance. So, as soon as Sarah reached out, I knew we were going to be a great match!
June 29th I recieved an email saying that she was 37.5 weeks and signs were pointing to sooner, rather than later. I have to admit, part of me didn't believe her. I think at 36.5 weeks, we're ALL hoping for sooner rather than later and hyper analyzing everything. Sure enough, that litte girl made her appearance only a few days later!!
Introducing Annabelle; the sleepiest newborn I've ever met.
When I arrived, Sarah and Craig were both smiling and the absolute picture of new parent bliss. Neither looked weary or tired. I soon found out why, they had the easiest newborn in the entire world!
Annabell was sound asleep when I got there so we immediately started with her individual pictures. I looked around for light, got myself set up and off we went.
Still sound asleep, we moved into the nursery for some family pictures. This nursery was a total dream, beautiful light and designed beautifully for their new baby girl.
From there, we moved into Sarah and Craig's room. And she was STILL asleep!
Then we just needed a few more with Grandma and extended family! I figured she had to have been getting hungry but really, not so much as peep!
It's been just over 4 weeks and I'm guessing that itty bitty girl has started to wake up! She was an absolute dream. May all of my future clients be so lucky.

Another shot from my recent work with Lily Jewellery & Accessories. There's something liberating about challenging yourself, and trying something new and different. It's sort of rejuvenating.
Whenever I used to see Blogger's posting pictures like the one pictured above, I was always envy. I never knew how to achieve this sort of look, I tried but failed. And look at me now, finally able to achieve the littlest of challenges. Am I a cool blogger yet?
Anyway, since it's Sunday, I'm not going to post a huge rambling piece, instead I shall keep it short and sweet. So, if you ever find yourself in Loughrea, pop in to Lily Jewellery & Accessories, and be dazzled by the sparkling, tempting, gorgeous jewelry.
In the next coming weeks, I'm really going to push myself. Things are changing, and hopefully all will work out for the best. Hey Future, I'm finally ready for you.

Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) in Columbus, Ohio, plans to close nine branches after its acquisition of Camco Financial (CAFI) in Cambridge, Ohio.
The $56 billion-asset Huntington agreed in October to pay $97 million in cash and stock for the $760 million-asset Camco, which operates Advantage Bank. Huntington expects to shut down eight Advantage branches and one of its own to reduce overlap, the Columbus Business News reported Monday.
All branches set to close are located less than 2.5 miles from an existing Advantage or Huntington branch, according to a letter from Huntington's law firm Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz. The affected branches are in Ohio and Kentucky.
"While it is true that Huntington Bank, like any growing banking organization, does usually close or consolidate selected branches after an acquisition in order to eliminate overlap and improve profitability in its branch distribution system, Huntington Bank does so in a manner that is consistent with its objectives of minimizing adverse customer impacts," the law firm said in the letter.
Huntington and Advantage will accept public comments on the proposed branch closures through Jan. 8.

CRAZY HEART (Stuart Cooper, 2009)
I suppose, when I sit down to watch a James Bond movie I know exactly what I'm in for: the theme tune, the stubble, the objectified women, the non-exploding helicopter, the exploding helicopter and so forth. As long as the formula is handled with verve and efficiency, the familiarity doesn't bother me.
So, I suppose in a similar sense, I could sit down to a low-key redemption indie anticipating the usual: the weathered faces, the melancholy guitar tunes, the breakdown, the ready light at the end of the tunnel, the Oscarbaiting. As long as my heartstrings are efficiently plucked, I shouldn't be fussed by the familiarity.
It's just that I buy tickets to low-key indies to get away from the familiarity.

Sabres D Gragnani out 4-6 weeks with knee injuryNHL.com @NHL
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Buffalo Sabres defenseman Marc-Andre Gragnani will miss four to six weeks with a sprained knee.
Coach Lindy Ruff provided the update Saturday a day after Gragnani was hurt in rookie scrimmage. Ruff didn't say which knee was injured, but noted it won't require surgery.
Gragnani, the Sabres' third-round pick in the 2005 draft, was expected to compete for a regular job with the team this season. He's previously appeared in six career games with Buffalo, but has yet to score a point.
Forward Mark Parrish, an 11-year NHL veteran, joined the Sabres in opening training camp on a tryout basis. A six-time 20-goal-scorer, he had two assists in 16 games with Tampa Bay last season.

BRIARCLIFF, N.Y. -- Yoga Teachers Association of the Hudson Valley has announced a special opportunity to study with Berkeley, Calif.-based instructor Sandra Razieli at Club Fit in Briarcliff Manor.
Razieli will present "The Art of De-Slouchology" from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
All people have a slouch spot — that space between the shoulder blades that rounds when we slump at a computer station, get very involved in a text or just feel lazy and want to collapse. This slouch spot is also the back of the heart and the root of the neck, so how one connects with this often neglected area has profound repercussions for structural alignment, emotional health, outward appearance and overall well-being.
In this three-hour workshop, participants will explore the art and science of "De-Slouchology." Through thoughtful and playful alignment-based movement, Razieli will guide participants to bring awareness and vision to their slouch spots so they can stand and sit with greater comfort and ease while keeping the back and front of their hearts open and supple. The tools she shares will enhance the experience of yoga asana and optimize movement in everyday life.
Razieli originally came to yoga in 1997 after many years of frustration trying to find a way to ease pain associated with her scoliosis. She quickly discovered that asana practice not only helped her feel better in her body but also was great training for her mind and inspirational for her spirit. She has been a Certified Yoga Instructor since 2001.
The workshop will be held at the Yoga Studio at Club Fit, 584 N. State Rpad. The cost is $45 for YTA members and $65 for nonmembers who register in advance; $55 and $75 at the door. Preregistration is requested. Register at this website . Bring a yoga mat and arrive early to check in and set up.

Alfa Romeo made several important moves to reestablish the fame of delivering beautiful and sexy Italian cars. First unveiled in 2012 at the Geneva Auto Show and officially announced to be produced in 2013, the Disco Volante is probably one of the sexiest and most audacious car made by Alfa Romeo and Carrozzeria Touring.
Wait, Carrozzeria Touring? Yes, the car in its guts and bones is an Alfa Romeo 8C but heavily modified by Carrozzeria Touring. Sounds crazy sacrificing a sexy creation as the 8C, but in the end, the result is just pure ecstasy for eyes.
Alfa Romeo and Carrozzeria Touring, this time, wanted to hit an exclusive customer's line. People who were so committed to the Alfa Romeo's concept that will pay the same money of a super sports car as a Ferrari or Lamborghini for a creation of this magnitude.
Those faithful customers, nevertheless, would have to wait and cross all the fingers to have one someday. The production of the Disco Volante it is both exclusive and reduced with the limitation of only 500 unit.
The Disco Volante is a pure visual joy and a true masterpiece. Each unit is created in no more and no less than 10.000 hours. Being said that, getting one seem a little bit expensive and tedious. But also, to have a Disco Volante you have to give away your 8C and it'll be modified to built one.

Let's review this awesome car.
Powerplant and Performance
The Disco Volante is fast, not insanely fast, but enough for a lot of customers. Is not a Lamborghini or a Ferrari in term of performance, but we all know that is not the intention of Alfa Romeo. The engine supplied for this masterpiece will be a 4.7 L V8 producing up to 450 horsepower at 7000 rpm and 354 lb-ft of torque at 4750 rpm. The acceleration is awesome but not exhilarating as its Italians rivals, going from standstill to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds and reaching a top speed at 181 mph.
All the power is sent to a rear-wheel-drive system, while the powerplant is paired with a six-speed electro-actuated sequential gearbox with paddle shift control and limited-slip differential.
Design Line and Interior
The exterior looking is sublime and its design is inspired in the 1952 Alfa Romeo C52 Disco Volante. That easily recognizable and their similarities are visible. The 2013 Disco Volante is a refreshed, futuristic, and modern interpretation of that 1952 Alfa Romeo C52, as expected.
The front fascia is astonishing and its tiny grill with a massive amount of air intakes for aesthetical and aerodynamic purpose fit flawlessly. The hood is smooth as silk, there is not a single irregularity in the surface while there is not practically a dividing line between the hood and those sharp and sexy LED headlights. From sideways, the car is completely different and has a dramatic line going from the wheels. The roof line is extremely low and delivers a truly sporty and athletic sensation. Probably the best of this car is the rear, completely inspired on that sensational C52 from 1952.
The Bottom Line
This is a sensational car. Is beautiful for any angle you look at it. The performance is quite nice and acceptable. Surely will give an astonishing ride. The Disco Volante is a clear sign of wealth and a sign of an elite taste for design. The only problem is the exclusivity and price of this beast, including the sacrifice of an 8C unit.
The price widely vary and it's only available on demand. With only 500-unit limitation, each one will be built on request of the customer, only if he or she pass the requisites.
