On the Street in Black Forest
By Breeanna Jent
As they manned the Pikes Peak Council Cub Scouts Pack 70 booth at the 2017 Black Forest Festival on Saturday, August 12, Tory Hoefar and Kristin Havens caught up with The New Falcon Herald. In between greeting visitors to their booth and handing out informational literature on Pack 70, Hoefar and Havens talked with the NFH about living in Black Forest. A Colorado native and Black Forest resident of 11 years, Hoefar, age 49, is also a Realtor with Remax properties, and spends her free time volunteering with several nonprofits, like Cub Scouts Pack 70. Havens, age 41, is a Michigan native and a recent transplant to the Black Forest. When she is not volunteering with Cub Scouts Pack 70, she works as a systems engineer for GPS.
So what brought you to Black Forest?
Im a Colorado native, from Pagosa Springs. Being there, I wanted to live some place with a wonderful country-based lifestyle. In my spare time, I ride horses.
Im retired (U.S. Air Force), and loved it here. We wanted to come back to the Black Forest area because it reminded us so much of Michigan, where Im from, and it had that smaller community feel.
Where is your favorite place to visit in Black Forest?
I really like Section 16 (a loop trail in Black Forest).
I like Black Forest Regional Park because I can walk.
What do you enjoy most about Black Forest?
I love the fact that I live in a small community on the edge of a larger city.
I like the small-town feel! Its nice to have a community after having moved around so much. This sounds weird, but I love the trees, I really do. They make me smile. Reminds me of back home.
What do you enjoy most about autumn?
Oh, I love the crispness in the air and the colors.
Definitely I love the fall colors and anything that has to do with pumpkins and Halloween!
If you had to describe yourself in five words, what would they be?
I would say loyal; committed to my family life; a mom; a wife; and I like to think of myself as trustworthy.
I would also say loyal; passionate; a mom as well - that really defines me in a lot of ways, and also as a wife.
What accomplishment are you most proud of?
My son and the life weve built. Im proud of our family.
Im also going to say my family!
What is an item on your bucket list?
Machu Picchu: I want to see it and climb it.
Really, I just want to go to Europe! Im retired from the Air Force, and Ive never been to Europe.
If you won the lottery, what would you do with your winnings?
I would buy more horses travel more, and ride my horses more.
My husband and I would really just like to travel with our kids.
What is your favorite thing to talk about/learn about and why?
I love the natural lifestyle, like homeopathic medicine. Im originally from Pagosa Springs, so Im a little bit hippie and a little bit country! I also love real estate.
Im really passionate about my job. I love teaching kids about it and about space in general.

Black Forest or Bust 2017 festival
By Breeanna Jent
The heart of Black Forest bustled with festivities on Saturday, Aug. 12, in the thick of the annual Black Forest Festival; hosted by the Black Forest Community Club.
A live band entertained onstage while guests enjoyed food and refreshments, provided by local vendors, and visited dozens of community-based vendor booths. Festivities for this years Black Forest or Bust festival kicked off early with a pancake breakfast hosted by R&R Coffee Café; and ran well into the afternoon, with something for everyone.
This is a really great opportunity for the community to come out and show what they have to offer, said Ian Scheimann, an R&R Coffee Café employee who was helping serve refreshments like coffee and root beer and other sodas from Rocky Mountain Brewery.
This years new western-themed features were tied into the festivals traditional events, said event coordinator Shari Conley in a July news release. While visitors enjoyed festival staples like live entertainment, a jailhouse, outhouse races and a parade; they were also treated to new festivities; including pack a mule and pan for gold, provided by the Western Mining Museum. The Matoska dancers performed Native American dances; Twisted Pine Farms set up a ranch with a variety of livestock; the Pals of the Pines 4H Club sponsored a petting zoo; and also available were several new childrens games; face painting; and more.
While enjoying the festivities, visitors also came out to support local businesses owned by their friends and family.
At the festivals Pioneer Town, first-time visitor Teresa Dominguez watched over her grandchildren, Riley Byes, age 6, and Zane Byes, age 2, as they rode atop a metal horse. Dominguez traveled from Colorado Springs to support her friend Heather Boucher, owner of Black Tree Yoga Center. I decided to bring my grandkids so we can support my friend Heather and her yoga studio, Dominguez said. Weve had a wonderful time so far.
Near the stage, Lynn Bartle of Falcon, Colorado, spent time with family and friends visiting from out of town. This is our first time here, and we love it, said Valerie Allen, Bartles cousin visiting from southern Illinois. The food is delicious and this whole thing is great.
I was looking for fun things for us to do and this popped up, so I thought it would be something nice we could all do, said Lynn Bartle, who was also joined by her aunt, Loudene Strunk of Illinois, and her friend Heidi Wolf of Cañon City.
The Black Forest Festival is one of the many community services offered by the Black Forest Community Club, Conley said in the news release.
Proceeds from the volunteer-run event benefit local charities and nonprofit organizations, she said.
It takes a community like we have in Black Forest to pull this off, Conley said.

New brew pub in Black Forest
By Breeanna Jent
On August 1, Donovan Routsis received word that he was one step closer to making a long-time dream come true: the El Paso County Board of County Commissioners had approved his request for a liquor license to operate Black Forest Brewing Co.
The bar will be located in a shopping center off Black Forest and Burgess roads, near local hangouts; including R&R Café, the Chicken Coop and Descars Roadside Bar and Grill.
Tentatively scheduled to open this fall, Black Forest Brewing Co. will join more than 25 local breweries in the Pikes Peak region - but it will be the first of its kind in Black Forest.
Routsis, a recently retired Air Force colonel who graduated from Arizona State University, began his foray into microbrewing more than 20 years ago. He became interested in the beer craft while stationed at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs.
Since the 1990s when Routsis first began brewing, the number of microbreweries throughout the country has significantly increased. According to a March 13, 2014, article, Brewers Association Announces 2013 Craft Brewer Growth, posted to the Brewers Associations official website, The number of operating breweries in the U.S. in 2013 totaled 2,822. At the end of 2016, the Brewers Association reported a total of 5,203 breweries. With 334 breweries listed for Colorado, the state ranks No. 2 in the number of breweries nationwide.
Jaks Brewing Co. in Falcon and Peaks N Pines Brewing Co. in Colorado Springs, as well as Descars Roadside Bar and Grill and The Chicken Coop bar in Black Forest, have provided support and helped Routsis navigate the process of opening the brewery.
You would think that people would look at the (craft brew) industry as competitive, but its not, Routsis said. You see the potential in Black Forest and thats when you look to be part of that community. We want to provide a gathering place, really. We want people to come and stay for a while.
Routsis said a survey, which is a county requirement for microbrews, showed a 100 percent residential approval rating for the business.
Black Forest Brewing will take on a German flair, Routsis said. He has partnered with Schnitzel Fritz, a Colorado Springs-based German restaurant and deli, to provide food for the pub which undoubtedly will complement one of his brews, a German chocolate cake stout.
Part of the fun of the industry is the creativity combined with the technicality of the craft, Routsis said.
Brewing is a very technical process and theres a lot of science involved, but it also allows you to be creative, he said. Some things work and others dont. Its about finding out what works, while allowing me to express both my technical and creative sides.
Overall, the one thing we are looking at is that we dont only want to create a place for people in the community to visit, but we also want to work with our local businesses. We are trying to be an additive to the community and not competitive. Our hope is that well become a destination and help draw people to the Black Forest.
AARP at the 2017 Black Forest Festival
Submitted by Stanley Beckner
Black Forest AARP Chapter 1100 participated at the Aug. 12 Black Forest Festival by sponsoring a booth on the midway. Chapter members also participated in the preparations for the festival, and enjoyed the big pancake breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage and plenty of orange juice and hot coffee, which the Boy Scouts served starting at 6:30 a.m.
By the time the festival celebrations were over at 3:30 p.m., the chapter had sold items and collected donations totaling $296.15. The proceeds were donated to the Black Forest Cares Food Pantry. The items sold and donated for the charity by the chapter members were home-baked cookies, breads and cupcakes, as well as carefully nurtured potted plants and many special craft items.
Since the Black Forest Festival was started in 1960, eight AARP Chapter 1100 members have served honorably as Keeper of the Keys to Black Forest.
AARP Chapter 1100s booth at the Black Forest Festival featured home-baked goodies, plants, crafts, lots of free literature and red T-shirts. Numerous chapter members volunteered their time to staff the booth. Shown here are (left to right) Beverly Schaab, Electa Beckner and Gwen Burk.
Many people enjoyed the pancake breakfast that kicked off the 2017 Black Forest Festival. The local Boy Scout Troop served the meal and cleaned up afterward. Photos submitted
Keeper of the Keys: Terry Stokka
Terry Stokka was named Keeper of the Keys to the Forest for 2017-2018 at Black Forest Community Hall on Aug. 6. Terry arrived in the Black Forest after serving in the U.S. Air Force as a navigator and civil engineer. He has enriched the quality of life in the Black Forest in many ways. Terry joined and energized the history committee and archived the community club history back to 1929. He produced a video of historical cabins in the Black Forest. Many are no longer standing. Terry videotaped oral history interviews of a dozen "Old Timers. The interviews have been transcribed and are stored by the history committee. He also produced the video, "The Day the Forest Burned, after the 2013 fire; the video includes a map and narration booklet. Terry's narrative is a key content of the explanation of the fire at the Memorial at the Black Forest Log School Park.
Since 2006, Terry has been the chair of the Black Forest Land Use Committee, a group that works with developers as well as county officials to ensure they adhere to the goals and policies of the Black Forest Preservation Plan.
Terry is interested in forest care and led the mitigation efforts to thin dog hair trees in Falcon Forest subdivision. His hobby of finding and documenting the largest and oldest trees in the Black Forest has resulted in a slab on display in the community hall, with historical events marked on the rings of the trunk displayed.

The 'Two-Pin' technique increases sanitation for multiple dose vial users. They draw with the first pin, and then shoot/inject into the body with a new one. This procedure prevents any residual contaminants that may have remained on the drawing pin from being transferred into the body via the injection site. It also makes injection less painful since the drawing needle is necessarily dulled during passage through the rubber stopper atop the vial. A dulled needle increases injection pain because it doesn't pierce the body as cleanly as an unused one. The protocol below is followed by AAS users who draw from multiple dose vials, but steps 4 - 8 are routinely disregarded by those users who draw from ampoules (also called ampules) and sachets.
An epidural steroid injection places this powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly around the spinal nerves. Traditionally epidural injections were administered without any special equipment, by inserting the needle by feel in the area around the spinal nerves. More recently epidural injections have been administered with the aid of imaging tools to allow your physician to see the needle going to the proper location. Either real-time x-ray called fluoroscopy, or CT scan can be used to 'watch' the needle deliver the medication to the proper location.
Epidural steroid injections are most commonly used in situations of radicular pain, which is a radiating pain that is transmitted away from the spine by an irritated spinal nerve. Irritation of a spinal nerve in the low back ( lumbar radiculopathy ), such as from lumbar spinal stenosis , cervical spinal stenosis, herniated disc , and foraminal encroachment, causes back pain that goes down the leg. Epidural injection is also used as a minimally invasive procedure to treat nerve compression in the neck (cervical spine), referred to as cervical radiculopathy , which causes pain.

Classroom Teacher
Hello, my name is Pamela J. Terry and I currently work at John T. Pirie. I am a veteran teacher that is really enjoying my experiences with CAPE. My students are involved in depicting the changes the main character of "Esperanza Rising" goes through after the death of her father, loss of her home / inheritance, and escapes / relocates to the United States ( poor, homeless ). Their visual interpretations of these changes are very creative and insightful. My students and I have learned new techniques / strategies / approaches to connect language arts / reading with visual arts.

Valuable Takeaways from TechWeek Chicago – even if YOU are NOT a TECHIE.
By: Cle Andrea Hayden
Packed with exhibitors and a schedule full of workshops, panel discussions and sponsored parties, TechWeek Chicago proved to be a valuable experience for techies, entrepreneurs and those who just like to be "in the know" of the tech world. Check this list of tips that I gained during my first TechWeek experience:
1. Choose your social circles wisely. During the "Future of Fashion" panel, there was a lot of discussion regarding the impact the digital sphere is having on retail and the fashion industry. But let's take it one step further. Social media and mobile devices are adding a completely new realm to the retail experience. Not only will our social media friends give us a "thumbs up" regarding a potential new clothing purchase, we will also be scrolling through our news feeds looking for recommendations on the best pair of running shoes to purchase.
2. Find your stick-to-it-tive-ness. CEO, Michael Small of GoGo Air urged start-ups and entrepreneurs to be persistent when it comes to building their businesses. Having an attitude of resolve & tenacity is key when looking to achieve success in anything. STICK.TO.IT!
3. Sometime going off your planned path can prove to be beneficial. My Thursday schedule went a little something like this: "Managing Social Media in the 21st Century", "Obtain the Funding to Realize Your Vision" and "The Future of Fashion". Somewhere between getting from session A to session B, I ended up in a session called "What do the Queen, Jesus and Technology Have in Common". The presentation was impressive and when over, I had a new outlook on technology and how it is impacting us as humans. So be flexible, you never know what you can learn and how you may be able to use that information in the future.
4. Fine tune your skills, be aware of your weaknesses and understand your opportunities. According to Howard Tullman, CEO of 1871, by 2020 42% of the American workforce will be working for themselves. How exciting! Sounds like there will be quite a few of us walking away from the hum drum of corporate life and becoming creative in terms of how we make our 'dough'. Take advantage of the time you have now and prepare for your future.
5. Take a few minutes to truly connect with others. Conferences are great places for you to enhance your professional tool kits; however they are also ideal for building your network. Think of it! A room full of really interesting, hip individuals who understand your 'special' language. If time permits, go a little further than just passing out your business card. Slip away for a sip of wine or grab tea, whatever your passion, but use the time to connect with individuals on a more meaningful level.
TechWeek was full of energy and excitement that I am sure left an impression on all who attended. So whatever your 'thing' is, continue to innovate, disrupt and blaze a path unforeseen!

The little card box was easily made with my scoreboard and I embellished the cards with gold foil trims, buttons, and some die-cut embellishments from K & Company. The hardest part was photographing the set.

Without a doubt, Pattaya nightlife is legendary. Whatever you want, you will be able to find here. Nightlife is a bit of a misnomer as the action continues 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The possibilities are literally endless from bars, pubs and a-gogos to excellent cabaret shows, restaurants and other live entertainment.
Pattaya Nightlife Warnings
A word of warning to the few who come looking for under age girls and boys. Yes they are available although not obviously. If that is want you want you will no doubt find it here. You will also likely end up spending a year or two in a very unpleasant Thai prison and have your name published in all the newspapers back home. Thai law requires all people who work in bars to be 20 or older. Prostitution is illegal although generally ignored provide the participants are aged 18 or over. Any foreigner caught having sex for money with under 18 year olds, will receive a mandatory minimum two year jail sentence and if the girl is under 16 the penalties are very harsh. People are being caught regularly, so don't do it. All Thai's carry ID cards and if you have any doubts, ask to see it. This year (2011) is 2554 in the Thai calendar, so you will need to do a little maths to work out their age. If their birth year is 2536 or more – move on . . . quickly!!!
Thai bar girls are not like their counterparts back home. You can expect to find a loving and considerate companion who will stay with you for a few hours (short time), overnight (long time) or several days (girlfriend experience) or longer. Generally speaking these girls come from the rural North East and are working in bars because it is the only way they can earn money to support their family.
They are not hard nosed hookers and you should not treat them as if they were. Once you agree to go with a girl, she will consider herself your girlfriend and if you act accordingly, the rewards are many. There are three main areas where you will find the action, although they have now sort of merged into one giant area.
Northern Pattaya Nightlife
Centered along Second Rd, Soi 2 to Soi 6. There are mainly beer bars, mixed in with a few A Go Gos. This is the quietest area, so you will find yourself very welcome here. The famous Sabai Dee Massage Parlor is also here, next door to the Big C shopping center. The action is mainly on Second Rd although some of the Soi's do have a few places. Also Naklua Rd near the junction with Second Rd has a few places to amuse you.
Central Pattaya Nightlife
Clustered around Soi 7 and Soi 8 and extending from Second Rd to Beach Rd. This area has developed quite a lot lately and although smaller than South Pattaya, it has a lively atmosphere. Most of the action occurs in the Sois, with a spill over on to Second Rd. You will find mainly Beer Bars here although there are three A Go Gos on Soi 8. Many hotels are also clustered around this area.
South Pattaya Nightlife
This is where it all started, and South Pattaya still contains the largest collection of Restaurants, Discos, A Go Gos, Beer Bars and Massage Parlors in Pattaya. It's also where you will find FLB Bar.
Starting from Soi Pattayaland 2 and extending South to Soi 18, this is a big area, with many side streets (sois) and much to do and see.
The action takes place in the Sois, and along Beach and Second Rd. Beach Rd from South Pattaya Rd to Soi 18 is closed to traffic at night and metamorphoses into The Famous Walking Street. This area is boisterous, noisy and full of bars. Many of the bars stay open 24 hours a day and there is always some weird sights to astonish you.
Pattaya nightlife in other areas
Although most tourist stick to the above three areas and you will always feel safe there, there are many other places to visit for Pattaya nightlife. South Pattaya Rd between Second Rd and Sukhumvit Rd has many Massage Parlors, bars and a discos frequented by lots of locals. There are quite a few establishments that cater to Thais which you can recognize by the fairy lights, although all signs are in Thai. Basically wherever you go in Pattaya, something will be going on.

Allu Arjun has only stirred a hornet's nest by making the 'Cheppanu Brother' remark. Despite a detailed explanation by him, Pawan Fans began targeting him deliberately since then.
The rising number of Dislikes for 'DJ – Duvvada Jagannadham' Teaser has only been making everyone believe few issues remained unresolved. While no. of views reached 3.9 Million-mark, Likes & Dislikes stood at 93,000 and 77,000 respectively, leaving a short margin of 16,000.
Were Pawan Fans behind the huge number of Dislikes? If so, They have completely forgotten that the movie belongs to Harish Shankar who is behind a much-needed blockbuster 'Gabbar Singh' for Powerstar. At least, They should have been indebted to the Director and refrain from creating more hurdles for DJ.

SAN FRANCISCO — Falcon/Raging Stallion Studios' new DVD line Guys Like Us has released its latest title "He's Got the Moves."
Andrew Rosen directs exclusives Ryan Rose and Ray Diaz, as well as Connor Kline, Lucas Knight, Duncan Black, Hayden Richards and Andrew Fitch in a film that exploits the erotic possibilities of "moving day."
As the young, muscled men move boxes to-and-fro, they begin sweating through their t-shirts and releasing arousing pheromones. The atmosphere draws together couples Diaz and Kline; Black and Knight; and Rose and Fitch in scenes that feature oral and anal action. Kline and Richards pair up when the latter unceremoniously drops a box of sex toys and "can't resist" using one on Kline's backside.
"The cast is a really fun bunch of guys — good-looking and great to work with — who delivered extraordinary action," said director Rosen. "Fans will be pleased that this cast features some really huge dicks, and these guys know how to use them and how to take them. Super talented Connor Kline sits on Hayden Richards dick and gets fucked sideways — you don't see that every day."
"With a cast like this, and exceptionally shot male erotica, 'He's Got the Moves,' is continuing an exciting trend for the Guys Like Us brand. This new brand of DVDs is gathering steam and it is really exceeding my expectations," said Chris Ward, Falcon/Raging Stallion Studios president. "Andrew Rosen put together a striking group of young studs, paired them perfectly and captured outstanding sex."
"He's Got the Moves" is available through Falcon and Raging Stallion stores.

Resistance Bain Therapiste collection is definitely something to talk about. I received full size samples of the Shampoo and Conditioner in a recent Voxbox (anyone else a fan of Voxbox!) and I was instantly drawn to this reverse method of cleaning. Yup, reverse meaning you use the conditioner first!
So who should be using the Resistance Bain Therapiste products? Anyone with over processed or damaged hair, or those who tend to heat style their hair frequently. I am a culprit of all of the above! I tend to color/highlight my hair, and sometimes I can use a little help with freshening up my locks.
In other news, I'm looking forward to this week being over and feeling stress free again! Halloween events are fun, but are also a lot of work!
Thanks to Influenster for providing these full sized samples in exchange for my honest opinion. All thoughts shared above are my own.

Go To Camp With Dickey Betts and Roger Daltrey
When Bad Company first extolled the virtues of rock and roll fantasy back in 1979 the group had little inkling of how this might be tied into the camping experience experience. Thankfully others have stepped to the fore, paving the way for Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp. Paul Rodgers hasn't signed on (yet) but Roger Daltrey, David Crosby, Dickey Betts, Nils Lofgren and Bret Michaels are all on board for the event which swap coasts and take place in Los Angeles on February 17-21, 2005. Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp allows folks to hang and perform with the artists (hopefully restraining from too many versions of 'Every Rose Has Its Thorn).

"Discourses on regional problems and cultural knowledge patterns"
Work package 1: Challenges and dynamics of structurally weak regions
The persistence of regional problems is also a matter of discourses on regional problems, represented by cultural narrations and media, and of cultural knowledge patterns they produce. Discourses may either reinforce negative perceptions or support the view that it is time for creative solutions. In other words, leveraging potentials for the support of innovative approaches (e.g. of social entrepreneurship) may depend on the ways in which problems typically are discursively framed and on respective cultural knowledge patterns. They may differ between different regions. Thus, in the ESR 3-project public discussions of regional problems as well as cultural knowledge patterns will be analysed and compared by conducting a qualitative discourse analysis (of regional newspaper articles) and qualitative interviews with residents. Comparative studies will be carried out for the Mid-West (IE), the Uckermark (DE) and the Mühlviertel (AT).
This project will be hosted at Leibniz-Institute for Research on Society and Space / Germany

Ask your MP to ensure Brexit doesn't harm the environment
The divisions caused by the EU referendum make it more important than ever for us all to unite behind our shared environment.
Some people want to paint the referendum result as permission to get rid of environmental protections. But we know that's not what people voted for. Together we're creating a mass movement of support so that, whatever happens next, we can protect the nature and environment that we all treasure.

"Frankly speaking, CA is my other side". I smile at his humbleness. But he still reiterates that claim a couple of times over the period of the interview.
Meet CA Ketan Vikamsey.
Senior Partner at Khimji Kunverji & Co., a 75 year old CA firm and amongst the largest in the country. If you've ever had a chance to hear him speak at any of the professional conferences, you'd know how he could captivate you with his words. And if you glance through a few of the pictures in this write-up, you'd know he could captivate you even more with his real than life photographs. Photography is just his pursuit of happiness.
It all began with his interest in horticulture, floriculture & bonsai. As a college intern, he was the Joint Secretary for the Cactus & Succulent Society of India. He remembers being featured on the cover page of Savvy magazine with a headline "Adam's in Eve's World", since in India bonsai was more of a woman thing. Although his passion for photography goes back to his childhood days, he attributes his love of wildlife and his subsequent interest in wildlife photography to his early college days.
His FB page "KV Kliks" shows how he has developed as a photographer over the years but he maintains "Irrespective of the world likes my work or not, it is important whether I like my work or not." His genre of photography includes Nature & Geography i.e. wildlife, landscape, macro objects, birds & mammals. Other than that he also enjoys travel photography. Some of his clicks have been made as cover pages for a number of popular photography groups on social media.
Quiz him on what drives him and he is quick to respond. "The adrenaline rush or the kick you get once you are into it is something which keeps you moving through the week/ month."
He travels extensively for pursuing this passion. His work schedule is planned in a fashion which allows him to take a couple of days off to enjoy what he loves best – capturing breathtaking moments!
Ask him about his best experience till date and he fondly remembers his recent trip to Tadoba. "Whether you see an animal or not, there are a thousand eyes watching you". Be it witnessing a tigress and 4 of her newly born cubs at a nearby pond or capturing the fear in the eyes of an Indian Gaur in a "Tiger–Gaur" chase, I see him reliving each moment as he speaks about it.
I try to see how photography has impacted his professional and personal life. Ask his colleagues and staff, and they will tell you that he is one of the most cheerful partners around, always available for a word and always calm and composed. His eye for detail in photography rolls back to his work too. Give him any financials, and he will point out at few things he wants details of & in each case these would be the exact areas where issues and complications exist. Further, nature photography requires you to be fit which keeps him the healthy, upbeat & lively person that he is. "We don't click photographs, we make photographs", he says. "We visualize the image & then click them & that is the difference between a normal photographer and a creative photographer."
When asked about owning DSLR or other camera equipment, his humble response was "It is a matter of priority. The equipment is not important, but the person behind the equipment is! A person might have 5 times the equipment as me, but his clicks might not be that great. Whereas, there might be another person who may have half the equipment as me, but his clicks might be just awe-inspiring."
Despite his ever so hectic work schedule, he ensures to take out time to take formal trainings in photography, take trips with fellow photographers & mentors to help him improve every day. He uses social media to connect with people of the same wavelength pursuing common hobbies. He loves his critics as much as much as he loves his followers. He believes every critic helps him go a long way indeed.
When asked to give a message to the readers, he said:
"Irrespective of photography, gardening, nature walks, be it anything, do something creative. There are many people who are in more humble positions than we are, but all it takes is your own passion rather than the equipment. Start humble, have a plan & work your way towards it"
And that was Ketan Vikamsey, the ardent photographer for you!

Kudos to India for this landmark decision and modern step forward in protecting animals. Especially the reason they were referring to for banning Doplhins and Orcas from Entertainment shows is amazing. The Indian Government was referring to the 2011 Helsinki Declaration of Rights for Cetaceans where it says:
– Every individual cetacean has the right to life.
– No cetacean should be held in captivity or servitude; be subject to cruel treatment; or be removed from their natural environment.
– All cetaceans have the right to freedom of movement and residence within their natural environment.
– No cetacean is the property of any State, corporation, human group or individual.
– Cetaceans have the right to the protection of their natural environment.
– Cetaceans have the right not to be subject to the disruption of their cultures.

Too many scholars think of research as purely a cerebral pursuit. If we do nothing with the knowledge we gain, then we have wasted our study. Books can store information better than we can--what we we do that books cannot is interpret. So if one is not going to draw conclusions, then one might as well just leave the information in the texts.

This days, our young men have embraced the wearing of agbada to weddings. Agbada which was reserved for older men is now a trend amongst the youth. No more suits to look dapper at weddings, but Agbada sewn in different fabrics and styles.
Check out some important tips you need to know if you intend on rocking the Agbada attire:
Agbada Style Tips For Men
1. Material Matters: It is important to choose and select a material that suit the color of your skin and most importantly your personality.
2. Material Thickness and Fittings: Do you prefer your Agbada to stand for a long time? Do you want it to retain starch ? Then go with thicker materials. Also note that an improperly starched Agbada would make you look as though you look sick trying to fit in a big outfit. Ensure your Agbada is starched enough and the tail of your Agbada should not join you until two minutes after you've walked into a room.
3. Head Gear: Make sure your your cap doesn't conflict with the color of your Agbada so you don't look like a masquerade.
4. Accessories: The accessories is important as they improve your outlook. You can add wristwatch , cuff links , rings and even nice necklaces or chains as you wish.
5. Trouser Length: Do you know that the trouser is called SOKOTO. So please , guys ensure the lenght of your sokoto is appropriate. Whether fitted or regular, make sure it's long enough to be seen and not cover your shoes.
6. Packaging & Protection: Lastly, It is advisable to dry out your Agbada as soon as you pull it off. Leave it well folded in your closet till you want to wear it again.

When the news broke that the FBI tracked down and arrested members of an alleged Russian spy ring, I couldn't help but think of the then-upcoming Salt, especially when photos turned up of the alleged "femme fatale." Maybe--just maybe--this might have been the most genius movie marketing job ever pulled. Unfortunately (for my "out-of-the-box" thinking)--but fortunately (for the sake of national security)--the news was merely life on the verge of imitating art. With Salt opening this weekend, and with our Cold War fears now coming back (like everything else from the '80s), we shake and stir the espionage genre, ranking the best-reviewed spy movies. This week's ranking includes Bond, Bourne, some spies hunting aliens, and two of the best Hitchcock thrillers. Before you check out the full list, indulge in a few gems below -- yeah, baby!
30. Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)
MRQE Metric: 66
What better way to kick off the list? Austin Powers certainly is the grooviest flick on the list, and one that goes on to spoof some of the most iconic characters and plot devices of the genre--namely those from the early '60s James Bond movies with Sean Connery. Contrary to popular belief, Dr. Evil is not based off of Mike Meyers' former boss, Lorne Michaels, but rather from the villain in You Only Live Twice. Dr. Evil's plot to hijack nuclear warheads for "one…million dollars" was totally ripped from Thunderball. And--of course--who could forget such colorful character names as Alotta Fagina?
Enjoy this classic scene…
26. The Bourne Identity (2002)
MRQE Metric: 68
A spy who cannot remember… Robert Ludlum's best-selling 1980 spy novel hit the big screen in 2002, with Matt Damon taking the lead as Jason Bourne. Featuring some of the greatest action sequences of the year, including a thrilling car chase through Paris, The Bourne Identity thrilled critics and audiences in the summer of '02. We first encounter Bourne aboard a ship off the coast near Marseille, and we follow him as he uncovers his true identity, and the people who are tracking him down. Bourne was a breakout role of sorts for Damon, who prior to the movie wasn't really considered an action star. Damon later paired up with director Paul Greengrass for the two even more thrilling Bourne sequels (both of which make the list). A fourth Bourne movie was announced in June, but there has yet to be any official word as to whether Damon or Greengrass will be returning.
Matt Damon discovers who he is...
16. Men in Black (1997)
MRQE Metric: 74
2002 sequel, which underperformed the original in both quality and in the box office (while the sequel was a box office success that year, it didn't have the same return as the original).
5. Goldfinger (1964)
MRQE Metric: 84
How could we make a list of the best spy movies, and not include Bond . . . James Bond? In fact, Mr. Bond appears not once, but five times on our list! Maybe he should appear more, but that would be unfair to all the other spies. Goldfinger remains as the best-reviewed film of the franchise--from the notorious death of Bond girl Jill Masterson by gold paint, and the famously named character Pussy Galore, to some of the franchise's most iconic villains, Goldfinger and his manservant Oddjob (with his lethal hat), it's hard to argue why. The plot, to steal gold from Fort Knox, finds Bond stateside working with the C.I.A. to thwart Goldfinger's attempt at grabbing the one metal he loves most of all. Goldfinger became the first Bond movie to be classified as a "blockbuster" at the box office. In fact, it's success grew so fast that was included in the Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest grossing film of all time, though the film has since been eclipsed by the likes of The Dark Knight and Avatar.
Who could forget this classic scene and famous line?
3. Notorious (1946)
MRQE Metric: 87
6, 3, and 1 spots; but here we're highlighting Number 3, Notorious. Truly one of Hitchcocks's most notable, Notorious is a post-World War II espionage love triangle. Of course, with the sexy back-drop of Rio de Janerio, how can love not be in the air? The entangled story of Alicia (Ingrid Bergman), Devlin (Cary Grant), and Alex (Claude Rains), begins when Devlin, an American government agent, recruits Alicia, a daughter of a convicted Nazi spy, to infiltrate a group of Germans in Brazil. Alicia soon falls in love Devlin, and things get complicated when he needs to convince her to seduce Alex, one of the aforementioned Germans and a friend of her father's. Alicia ends up marrying Alex in an attempt to uncover his past. We won't spoil the ending, but love truly prevails.
The Notoriously long kiss...
There's more iconic films to be had than just these five. Head over to MRQE to see all 30 of the Best Spy Movies.

Thursday Buzzfeed published an interview with Dr. Ben Carson, the retired surgeon and possible GOP candidate for president. The most surprising aspect of the interview wasn't the content but the byline. The author is one of the reporters who, three months ago, leveled accusations of plagiarism at Carson involving his 2012 book America the Beautiful.
In January, Ilan Ben-Meir was one of three authors on a piece which uncovered evidence of plagiarism from several sources in Carson's book. According to Buzzfeed, Carson did cite the source of the work in "many cases" but did not explain to readers that entire passages had been lifted from those sources verbatim. As an example, Carson's book used the lines, "Socialism is an old dream. Some dreams are nightmares when put into practice." Those sentences and nearly two paragraphs that preceded them were taken from a website called socialismsucks.net.
A few days later, Carson apologized for the errors in a statement to Buzzfeed saying, "I attempted to appropriately cite and acknowledge all sources in America the Beautiful, but inadvertently missed some. I apologize, and I am working with my editors to rectify the situation."
Apparently all was forgiven as Carson granted Ilan Ben-Meir a "wide-ranging" interview this week. Topics discussed included the Iran deal, the police shooting in South Carolina, and of course his views on gay rights. On this last point, Carson responded to Ben-Meir's questions about his position with a question of his own: "What position can a person who believes in traditional marriage, between one man and one woman, have, who has absolutely no animosity or opposition to gay people – what position can they take that would be satisfactory to the gay community?"
Ben-Meir notes that Buzzfeed's interview comes after Dr. Carson's appearance before a, presumably, hostile audience in New York—a speech to Al Sharpton's National Action Network.
Perhaps Dr. Carson's spirit of conciliatory outreach to critics was the right one in this case. Despite some challenging questions about the aforementioned issues, Ben-Meir chose not to mention his own prior plagiarism scoop in the new piece.

Have you noticed that a lot of people on your newsfeed are on glamorous, adventurous holidays at the moment in picture-perfect locations in Australia and around the world?! Is it making your travel bug itch with desire? Are you having FOMO (fear of missing out)? Are you desperately pinning travel inspo pictures on Pinterest? WE ARE!
We love planning holidays, researching activities and accommodation, exploring new places, devouring authentic food and discovering hidden gems. It's the joy of travel that will never get old, no matter how many airports we sit in, flights we miss and mini disasters that happen in a foreign land. If we could travel all day, every day, without a care in the world, we would in a heartbeat.
For now though, we must live vicariously through others, so we asked our wonderful contributors if they had any upcoming travel plans. To my surprise, the majority of them do have holidays on the horizon (it just goes to show what an adventurous bunch we really are!). Here's 6 holidays #TeamBT are currently planning for the second half of the year.
BT contirbutor Chloe is in the very early stages of planning a trip to Europe to explore the region on a solo mission. It will be her first time in Europe, so she's looking at doing a group tour to get her bearings, meet new people and make her time abroad as care-free as possible (who doesn't love someone else organising the logistics of travel!). She's heading to the northern hemisphere in January if all goes according to plan, so her winter knits will definitely get a second life outside of Australia's winter season.
Come January, Madi is going to Canada as an exchange student, to study and live at a local university in Vancouver. She went to Canada earlier this year and fell in love with the snow, the beautiful landscapes and the fun-loving people and enrolled in her university's exchange program upon her return. To say she is excited is an understatement!
Teagan, who is our Brisbane Editor and social media guru, is headed to Mexico in September for two weeks to explore Mexico City, eat tacos in the street, ride bikes around Tulum, catch up on some reading, drink tequila cocktails and hone her photography skills in paradise. The busy bee hasn't planned a single thing yet (um Teagan, September is 2 months away!), so if you have some wisdom and recommendations to share, I'm positive she would love to hear it!
Michaela is staying on home soil for her upcoming holiday and is heading south to Melbourne for two weeks on a food, fashion and lifestyle tour around the city and its surrounds. Her foodie hit list consists of (so far) rooftop cocktails at The Lui Bar, an American style feast at The Gem Bar and Dining Room, a chocolate fix at Cacao Lab in Melbourne's CBD and a serving of Italian from Smokehouse Sorrento. She also plans on visiting Collingwood, Phillip Island and the Great Ocean Road she is in Victoria.
BT contributor Aimee is going to Bali and Lombok for a stint in October to climb mountains and enjoy the Indonesian sun. What's the plan, you might ask? It involves lugging her yoga mat to high altitudes to feel the zen in the fresh air, clear her mind and feel exhausted, yet rewarded. She'll be climbing Mt Rinjani (3726 metres), Mt Angung (3031 metres), Mt Batur (1717 metres), Mt Batukaru (2275 metres) and more. If you're planning a trip to Bali in the coming months, check out our post on the popular island here.
Abby is also heading over to the northern hemisphere to sightsee around London before crossing over to Europe to continue the adventure. Abby and her partner are huge history buffs, so they're excited to be visiting the Colosseum, Vatican City, Anne Frank's House, Globe Theatre and more, as well as wine tasting in Munich, relaxing on the beaches of Cote d'Azur and experiencing the nightlife of Amsterdam.
So, that's what #TeamBT are up to at the moment (of course, when they aren't exploring Brisbane and writing the fab content that you see here). We are one extremely lucky bunch to be able to explore our city, our country and international lands, so give us a hola if you have any tips for the ladies who are off on an adventure in the coming months.
Here's our top tips for planning a holiday:
– Money – As much as we hate to admit it, money makes the world go round and you have to have some spare through every stage of the process – from planning, booking flights and researching accommodation to buying essentials before you leave, eating out (a lot) while you are away, shopping (crucial) and sightseeing. It is always wise to have a little more than you need incase of any emergencies that return funds immediately. To save you worrying about money and conversion rates while you are away, perhaps consider a personal loan from Heritage Bank before you go. Check out the groovy calculator they've created below to get an estimation on how much you can borrow, the interest rate and how long you have to repay the loan. Trust us, you don't want to be worried about money while you are eating Nutella crepes under the Eiffel Tower… no way!
– Luggage – If you're one of those gals who could take 3 bags of 'essentials' for a weekend away, stop right now! You need to pack light when you hit the road baby, there ain't nothing chic about lugging a giant suitcase up a flight of stairs. Stick to the basics and make sure everything works together so you can mix and match either piece with a couple of others. Always have denim, grey and white tees, a good jacket, a splash of leopard, a hat, scarves and comfortable shoes. The rest can wait until you get home.
– Do Your Research – There's nothing worse than arriving in a destination and not knowing what there is to see, do and eat in the area. Do your research and the city and it's surrounding towns, and look at what's close to your hotel. That way, you can hit the group running and push through the jet lag once you have dropped your bags at the hotel.
– Be Spontaneous – If we can give you one piece of advice, it would be to be spontaneous when you are travelling. That doesn't mean you don't have plans, but rather that you can accept change and be flexible if a good opportunity comes up. Say you meet a group of friendly backpackers in the park – have dinner and drinks with them. You meet a brilliant local who wants to show you around their hometown – why the heck not! Playful banter with a charming young man – you go girl! Be spontaneous on your travels and the most unexpected experiences will find you.
So, did we teach you a thing or two about how we travel?
Would you like to see more travel content on Brisbane Threads? Let us know and we'll work on bringing you more from our adventures abroad, as well as the best of Brisbane.

Suggestions that the Samsung Galaxy S4 isn't selling as well as expected have been rubbished by the phone-maker's CEO.
Earlier this month, JP Morgan's army of number-crunchers claimed that demand for the hugely hyped smartphone was "way below" its earlier estimates and cut their sales forecasts by a quarter.
Today JK Shin of Samsung brushed off the bank's downbeat assessment of consumer response to the Galaxy S4, sales of which he claims are more than holding up.
Shin said: "I can say sales of the Galaxy S4 smartphone are fine. It's been selling well.
"The report was based on its own analysis. Probably the bank may have corrected its previous bullish estimate about the S4 sales."
Clearly in combative mood, Samsung's main mover also dismissed suggestions that the company would reach some kind of détente in its long-running patent dispute with Apple.
"Patent disputes against Apple will continue," Shin forecast.
His comments come after Samsung announced that the Galaxy S4 raced to ten million sales within a month of release. The tech giant has previously forecast lifetime sales of over 100 million for its flagship smartphone.

Two Easy Ways to Add Texture to Your Photos
Extra photos for bloggers: 1, 2, 3
Gritty cell-phone photos are the new faux-vintage, but we've got another way to add filters to just about any photo.
We'll teach you two ways to add pattern to your pics. A little lace and some sunlight will re-invent your shots with shadows.
…While a scanner and crumpled paper will make people want to reach out and touch your photos (mind the fingerprints on the screen!).
p.s. Our pals at Artsy Couture are giving away 3 free photo wood block sets on Facebook today! (Plus a 25% sale on their site, w00t.)
Why Texture's Cool
Sometimes you take a photo that just feels like it's missing something. Fix up that lonely photo by adding some texture to it with layers in Photoshop or by using fabrics like filters when you're shooting.
You can even choose a texture that complements the story being told in the photo itself. You can get doubly creative by mixing and matching themes and ideas!
Method 1: Shoot with Fabric as a Filter
With Method 1, you'll be adding texture with tangible stuff like fabric!
- A yard or two of fabric – lace works great, but think chiffon and taffeta too!
- Tape
- A window
- Scissors
- The Sun (may not appear exactly as shown)
Step 1 – Stretch!
All good workouts start with a stretching session and this photo project is no different.
You'll want to stretch that lace over a window (or get some friends to hold it taut above your subject!). Use tape to hold the fabric in place or the promise of a candy for your assistant friends.
Step 2 – Shine on!
Angle your subject so it's close enough to the lace that the pattern is clearly shadowed. Too far away and all you'll get is some blotchy shapes!
Step 3 – Add texture to your photos!
Oh the dreamy possibilities!
You should see a pattern shadowed over your subject. The brighter the sun, the bolder the pattern. Snap away while the texture's hot!
Method 2: Fake it!
Method 2 creates the same effect just digitally!
- 4″x6″ textured fabric or paper
- A scanner
- Photo editing software
- A photo that's just crying out for a bit of je-ne-sais-quoi
Step 1 – Scan away!
Pick out your fabric or paper. We used lace again, but crumpled paper is neat too – pretty much anything with a texture or pattern will do!
Drop a chunk of fabric or a piece of paper onto your scanner and scan it at a high resolution. Don't worry about it being perfect – the whole idea is imperfection!
Step 2 – Layers upon Layers!
Once you've scanned your texture, open it up in Photoshop along with the photo you want to add pizzazz to.
Copy and paste the texture into a new layer on your photograph. Your photo will be entirely obscured at first, but don't worry, like Rocky, it'll make a comeback!
Step 3 – Blend it like a margarita!
With the texture layer selected, click the little box on the top left of your layers palate. This is your blending mode and it offers much more than crush, puree, and liquefy.
Click through to try out a few different flavours (our favourites are Overlay and Soft Light) and watch the magic unfold!
Step 4 – Finishing touches
If it looks as garish as a gold lamé dress, you can tone down the effect by changing the opacity of the texture layer.
Mix it up with More Ideas:
- Write a message on a piece of paper. Then use the writing as a layer!
- Make your texture and photo interact. For example, shoot the photo as if your model is tearing apart the photo or crumpling it!
- Photograph textured surfaces! Think stonework, rusty metals, etc.
- Use your photo editor to give the texture color.
- Go for themed patterns on holiday photos to give it that extra blast of cheer (like snowflake cutouts for Christmas)
- Photograph glitter in sunlight and using the shiny dots as a sparkly layer over photos.

Document Details
Published Document
National Nuclear Security Administration, Los Alamos Site Office, DOE.
Floodplain/Wetlands statement of findings.
This floodplain/wetlands statement of findings is for the installation and operation of two groundwater monitoring wells within two separate canyon floodplain locations at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico. Monitoring well CdV-16-1 (i) would be located within LANL in Canon de Valle, and monitoring well R-2 would be located near the LANL boundary within the Incorporated County of Los Alamos in Pueblo Canyon. The installation process for the wells would include the placement of small cement pads around the wells, along with a gravel-covered area, and road improvements, culverts and erosion control materials and mechanisms as needed. The wells would be operated and monitored periodically after installation was completed. In accordance with 10 CFR part 1022, the Department of Energy (DOE), National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Office of Los Alamos Site Operations has prepared a floodplain/wetland assessment and would perform this proposed action in a manner so as to avoid or minimize potential harm to or within the affected floodplain.Start Further Info
Elizabeth Withers, U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration, Los Alamos Site Office, 528 35th Street, Los Alamos, NM 87544. Telephone (505) 667-8690, of facsimile (505) 667-9998; or electronic address: email@example.com.

Borgstrom, Director, Office of NEPA Policy and Compliance, EH-42, Department of Energy, 100 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20585-0119. Telephone (202) 586-4600 or (800) 472-2756, facsimile (202) 586-7031.End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
In accordance with DOE regulations for compliance with floodplain and wetlands environmental review requirements (10 CFR part 1022), NNSA prepared a floodplain/wetland assessment for this action. The NNSA published a Notice of Floodplain and Wetlands Involvement (Volume 68, Number 139). This Notice announced that the floodplain/wetlands assessment document was available for a 15-day review period and that copies of the document could be obtained by contacting Ms. Withers at the above address or were available for review at two public DOE reading rooms in Los Alamos and Albuquerque, New Mexico. No comments were received from the Federal Register notice on the proposed floodplain action.
Project Description: The DOE is installing a network of monitoring wells around and within LANL to characterize the hydrogeological setting of the Pajarito Plateau. These monitoring wells will be installed at varying depths and used to provide information on the groundwater aquifers present and to monitor various characteristics of the aquifers over time. The two subject monitoring wells would be installed in canyon-bottom settings chosen by the New Mexico Environment Department, which is the local regulator for water quality appointed by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Alternatives: Alternative locations for the wells were not considered for this project due to the focused scope of the hydrogeological characterization of groundwater impacts from past LANL activities. The placement of wells R-2 and CdV-16-1 (i) has been mandated by the New Mexico Environment Department, hence alternate well sites were not deemed feasible. However, the proposed drilling activities would be conducted outside the stream channel and the short-term adverse construction impacts to the floodplains of Cañon de Valle and Pueblo Canyon would be mitigated to the extent practicable.
Floodplain/Wetlands Impacts: Well CdV-16-1 (i) in Cañon de Valle would be located above the top bank of the stream and would not directly impact wetlands. Erosion and sediment control best management practices (BMPs) would be installed to prevent material from entering the stream channel. Short-term, direct impacts to the floodplain above the top bank of the Cañon de Valle stream channel would occur from the construction of the well, the concrete pad, and the graveled area around the pad.
There would be short-term indirect impacts from discharge of well development water to the ground.
Wetlands are not present at well location R-2 or along the existing access road to the construction site in Pueblo Canyon. Short-term direct impacts to the stream channel would result from improving the access road stream crossings. A culvert would be installed of sufficient size to pass normal flows and would be removed at the completion of the project. In addition, direct impacts to the floodplain would occur above the top bank of the Pueblo Canyon stream channel due to construction of the well, concrete pad, and graveled area. As with the well in Cañon de Valle, there would be short-term indirect impacts from discharge of well development water to the ground.
The proposed action of installing and operating two monitoring wells does conform to applicable State or local floodplain protection standards. The pertinent Los Alamos County Code Ordinance is: 85-70 "An Ordinance Repealing Chapter 15.16 of the Los Alamos County Code Adopting a New Chapter 17.70 Pertaining to Flood Damage Prevention."
Floodplain Mitigation: Placement of BMPs (such as silt fences, straw bales or wattles, or wooden or rock structures to slow down water runoff and run-on at cleared sites) at the construction area and post-construction reseeding and Start Printed Page 48359revegetation of the disturbed ground around the well pads would minimize soil disturbance and reduce or prevent the potential for soil erosion. The road design would include an appropriately designed culvert so that downstream flow and function of the floodplain will not be impeded. Indirect impacts from discharge of well development water to the ground would be minimized. The water would be sampled and the analytical results would be sent to the New Mexico Environment Department for their approval prior to discharge. Discharge would be through sprinklers or via a water truck along the access roads. No debris would be left at the work site. No vehicle maintenance or fueling within 100 feet of the floodplain would occur. Any sediment movement from the site would be short term and temporary.Start Signature

Who says bondage can't be without class? This 100% pure silk blindfold is soft, sensual yet still allows for all of those delightfully wicked moments. Where will the next touch be? The next kiss? With your sense of sight cut off, and the sense of touch heightened, you won't know, but you'll be begging for it! For beginners and advanced users alike, this is a delightful piece in a brilliant silky red designed for those intimate encounters where a sense of class is required.
When she doesn't know where your lips will touch next. When she awaits helplessly for the next caress, when she is completely under your power her lips trembling with anticipation. You would be amazed what using a blindfold during sex will do for the both of you. Although blindfolded sex is often believed, and rightly so, to be a bondage type experience, it is the very mildest of all of them. And with the silky smooth Intima Silk Blindfold from LELO, this experience can be all yours. Use the Intima blindfold and see if you too don't enjoy the night. The soft silk ensures a comfortable fit even when it is tied tightly to prevent it from slipping. And as with all LELO sex toys, the Intima Silk Blindfold comes in an attractive box that makes it the perfect gift for a friend.
Mystery keeps the sex life alive and interesting. Experts say that when one sense is eliminated the other senses are heightened naturally. When your lover's sense of sight is hindered through the use of a blindfold, their sense of touch increases.
The Intima Silk Blindfold is just the tool to give the both of you the mystery and the experience you are looking for. Blindfolds during sex, particularly for the man who is primarily driven to climax by the sight of you, can delay the climax as you both have more time to experience each other in some aggressively intimate ways. The Intima Silk Blindfold by LELO ties easily and the material is soft enough to be comfortable as well. These blindfolds come in three colors: black, purple, and red, so you can have one to match whatever you are wearing. Try it once and you may find blindfold sex to be the best you've ever had.
Lelo Pleasure Objects became a reality back in 2003 when three innovative designers got together in Stockholm and came up with the idea that would change the landscape of the sex toy industry. What if they were to design adult toys that were beautiful 'pleasure objects', that were refined, the most luxurious of anything created before. This uncompromising aim to deliver high end intimate objects backed with a 12 month guarantee and 5 year warranty saw sales soar with over 18 million Lelo products sold thus far. Lelo is the brand that most shoppers look for and other manufacturers aspire to replicate. It is like no other brand in the adult industry before and has set the benchmark for all others.
