Five Holiday Gifts for Cubs Fans
Chicago Cubs fans are truly die hard fans. Win or lose, Chicago fans love their Cubs. What other team can boast such a loyal fan base, even though they have more losses than wins. The Cubs have not won a World Series since 1908. Additionally, their last National League Pennant dates back to 1945. So with their losing record, what in the world would you get a Chicago Cubs fan for Christmas?
One of the most appropriate gifts would seem to be a prayer book. The Chicago Cubs have more losses than any other team, so praying for them can't hurt.
An exorcist could also be a helpful gift. Maybe they could remove the curse that has plagued the Cubs for so many years. "Maybe next year" has become a yearly motto for Cubs fans.
What about giving them a farmer? Since farmers have animals, they could take a goat to a game or two. This could possibly reverse the superstition that bringing a goat to a Cub's game gave them bad luck.
Another ideal gift for a Cub's fan is to give them an umbrella. This is especially true for a fan referred to as a "bleacher bum." Have you seen the birds that frequent Wrigley Field? If you don't come home with a win for your beloved Cubs, you could come home covered with bird crap. An umbrella would provide protection from the birds, the sun and the annoying drunk who is bound to spill his beer on you. It may even be helpful for rain delays.
Lastly, you can give your favorite Cub's fan a sympathy card. Since you already know the upcoming season is doomed to repeat, you might as well get it out of the way now. Throw in a box of tissues while you are at it. These will come in handy during the end of the baseball season.
The Chicago Cubs have some of the greatest fans around. They may not have a winning record, but one thing is for sure, they have a sense of humor. Maybe one of these ornaments would be more appropriate :

Help Homeless Pets: Hold a Supply Drive
Collect food and supplies for your local animal shelter
One great way to help your local animal shelters is to collect supplies for them. Here's how:
Step 1: Find out what's needed. Call the shelter or check their website to find out what items they need most. Some shelters request particular brands of pet food or cat litter. Others may need items such as towels, blankets, bandages, toys, treats, or office supplies.
Step 2: Decide on the details.
• Set a date. Anytime is a good time for a shelter collection, but many choose to coordinate their collection with a holiday or event. Once the date has been set, give your project a title or catch phrase. For example, a Valentine's Day collection could be called "Have a Heart—Help a Pet"; for Christmas, "Presents for Pets."
• Designate drop-off locations for supplies. At school, good drop-off sites include the cafeteria, library, and other common areas. In your community, consider setting up drop-off sites at grocery stores, pet supply stores, veterinary hospitals, elementary schools, churches, and community centers. Be sure to ask permission from the store manager or principal in advance.
• Gather large boxes for the supplies. You can get cardboard boxes from nearly any retail store; just call ahead, explain what you're up to, and ask if employees would set aside boxes for you to pick up. Decorate them according to your theme.
Step 3: Spread the word. Your collection's success depends on how well you promote it. Here are several ways to get the word out:
• Posters for pets. Make posters and fliers announcing the collection. In all your promotional materials, be sure to include the drop-off locations, deadline, and the list of needed items. It's a nice touch to include info about the shelter you're collecting for, such as the shelter's name, address, phone number, and website. Hang posters in school hallways, homerooms, the cafeteria, the library, and other high-traffic areas. If your collection is community-wide, ask permission to hang posters and put collection boxes in prominent areas around town.
• Get on the air. Make an announcement over your school's public address system. Contact local radio stations to ask if they'll air information about your collection or conduct an interview with you. If you get one set up, be sure to let the organization you're helping know!
• The write stuff. Run an article about your collection in the school newspaper. Write letters to the editors of local newspapers about your collection and how citizens can help. Be sure to personalize the letter with specific details about your collection.
Step 4: Deliver the goods. When your collection is over, arrange to bring the supplies to the shelter. Call in advance to schedule a good time and find out if the shelter wants publicity. If so, call your local newspaper and TV stations and ask if they would like to cover the event.

The level of violence that took the life of nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green in Tucson, Arizona Saturday is less than shocking to those close to the immigrant rights community, according to an area civil rights leader.
"It's something that we're familiar with," Salvador Reza of Puente Arizona told Laura Flanders of GritTV in an interview Monday.
He continued, "We're familiar because every day children lose their families. I think this has been coming along because of the planet of hate and vitrol that is happening every day, not only in Arizona but nationwide."
Reza mentioned that three people associated with the Minutemen, a right-wing anti-immigration group, are suspected of killing nine-year-old girl Brisenia Flores and her father in Arivaca, Ariz. in 2009 "under the pretext of fighting illegal aliens."
Both girls were killed in Pima County, Arizona. Flores' alleged killers are currently awaiting trial; Green's accused murder is being held without bail, charged with five federal crimes for a shooting spree that left six dead and 14 wounded.
When asked whether it is fair to compare the two murders, Reza replied, "No man is an island."
"They are a product of whatever messages go out in the environment," he said.
Reza commended Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik for standing up not only against the hate-filled political rhetoric in the media but also Arizona's anti-immigration laws.
"I think he's very brave," he said. "I think more politicians should be like him and actually say what they think because there is so much intimidation by the state senators here."
Reza, who has been repeatedly harassed by the infamous Sheriff Joe Arpaio for non-violently protesting the sheriff's anti-immigrant sweeps, suggested that politicians need to re-evaluate their language.
"Count to 10. Take a deep breath," he said. "Think about what you're saying."
The state of Arizona stands to lose $752.4 million in business and tax revenue as well as 4,236 jobs due to its Republican legislature's decision to pass anti-immigration laws, according to the Center for American Progress (PDF).
This video is from GritTV, broadcast, Jan. 11, 2011.

Palm Beach County commissioners want leading local businesses to tell them how to run the county government efficiently.
``If this were your $500 million business, what would you do?`` was the question Commissioner Ken Adams posed last Thursday in suggesting that a committee of financial experts from the private sector be formed to review the county`s financial operations.
Adams said the committee would be ``something like a mini-Grace Commission.``
J. Peter Grace headed President Reagan`s private-sector survey on keeping costs down. Its two-year study listed 2,478 ways government could reduce operating costs by $424 billion over three years.
Grace also is involved in Citizens Against Waste, which wants the federal deficit reduced.
Adams, a newly elected commissioner, previously has represented the U.S. Defense Department in negotiations to buy missile and space equipment and once lectured at an American Management Association meeting with Grace.
Pratt & Whitney spokesman Dick Dalton said the giant company west of Palm Beach Gardens would consider the invitation.
``We are certainly willing to examine such a request from the County Commission to see if in fact we could render some assistance to the county,`` Dalton said.
William Howden, vice president of the 7,500-employee government products division of Pratt & Whitney, already serves on a committee of the Economic Council of Palm Beach County,which suggests ways to improve efficiency in government, Dalton said.
Pratt & Whitney employees previously have served on county selection committees in search of a risk management director and most recently a new Purchasing Department director, said Assistant County Administrator Vince Bonvento.
An IBM spokesman, Jamie Clayton, could not comment immediately on the possibility of help from the masssive Boca Raton-based company.
But Adams, interviewed Monday, said help was needed soon.
``Our fiscal and financial controls just haven`t kept pace with the growth in county government,`` said Adams, a multimillionaire who owned and managed seven Tru-Value hardware stores in New York before retiring at age 49 to his Wellington horse farm five years ago.

This is my first post to this blog in two years. It will most likely be my last. I can't think of a better way to end my parental alienation blogging career than by giving readers of A Family's Heartbreak: A Parent's Introduction to Parental Alienation, and all visitors to this site, the gift of hope this holiday season.
We wrote A Family's Heartbreak: A Parent's Introduction to Parental Alienation and created this site to help other alienated parents and children avoid what my family went through. Please note the past tense, "went." I haven't been an alienated parent for some time. I also haven't talked publicly about reconnecting with my formerly alienated son — until now.
I'll keep the details of how we reconnected, as well as my theories on why we were able to reconnect, private. But if you read A Family's Heartbreak: A Parent's Introduction to Parental Alienation, you know the alienation was severe. My son and I didn't see each other or communicate in any meaningful way for 12 years. I missed all of his teen years, part of his 20s, and countless events. He missed plenty of family gatherings and all the father/son experiences that I missed.
The important thing to remember, however, is we did reconnect; and the past few years have been incredible. My son and I have a wonderful relationship. We may be closer than we would have been if we didn't lose all that time.
I'm sure you have plenty of questions you would like answered. Please allow me to leave you with some suggestions instead:
- If you are an alienated parent or family member, never give up hope. Never lose your faith that one day you will reconnect with the child. If you believe you will reconnect, you will.
- Never stop reaching out, even though your efforts may go unacknowledged for a long time. Most days you'll feel like you are pouring your time, money and mental health into a black hole. If your emails, cards, invitations, gifts and other efforts never reach the child you will at least feel better for having tried. If your attempts to reach the child do get through, I guarantee you the child will remember your attempts. The fact you always tried will make it easier for him or her to reconnect with you one day.
- Let go of the anger. This point is a key to reconnecting. The child wants to see he or she is getting back the same happy, emotionally secure parent the child remembers from before the hostilities — not some angry person who resembles the parent the child used to know. The child may also still feel loyal to the alienating parent. Showing the child you are no longer angry at the other parent removes a huge weight from the child's shoulders.
- Reconnecting is not about validation. Don't expect the formerly alienated child to be interested in your pain, admit you were right, or apologize for years of rude and inconsiderate behavior. When the child is ready to reconnect, keep the focus on the child's life and check your need for validation at the door. The fact that the child is letting you into his or her life is all the validation you need.
- Don't stand on ceremony. If your formerly alienated child initially calls you by your first name, bite your tongue. If the child forgets your birthday, let it go. Keep your eye on the prize standing in front of you and don't sweat the small stuff.
- Come to the grips with the fact that your child may never want to discuss parental alienation or the lost years. In fact, the child may pretend those years never happened. That's okay. Stay focused on a present and future that includes the child with whom you dreamed about reconnecting.
Happy holidays and Happy New Year. We hope 2016 is the year you experience the joy of reconnecting with your child.


text: Start by making the Thai vinaigrette. In a screw top jar pour in the juice of two limes, soy, sugar, finely chopped lemongrass, fish sauce, half the coriander and garlic. It is best to keep in a fridge over night for flavours to develop. Pre heat the oven to 220°C. Smother the beef in peppercorns and seer the beef in a very hot pan on all sides. Wrap loosely in foil and place in the oven for 12 minutes. Meanwhile, assemble the salad ingredients. Place eight leaves of cos lettuce on a serving platter. Slice the red onion very finely. Chop the chilli finely. Blanch the asparagus for about one minute in boiling salted water. Take out the steak and rest for ten minutes. Pour the juice from the steak into the marinade jar. Slice the steak very thinly. Lay the slices on top of the lettuce. Scatter over the onion, chilli and the rest of the coriander leaves. Arrange the asparagus on the plate and just before serving, pour over the vinaigrette. Tips: Not all your guests will like chilli so you can serve it seperately in a bowl for everyone to help themselves. If all your guests prefer their beef murdered, up the cooking time of the beef to fifteen minutes. Make sure your knife is razor sharp. There is nothing worse than thick pieces of beef or onion for this dish. Make sure you take off the outer layer of the lemongrass as it can be very tough. You can cook the beef the day before you wish to serve it but if you do, place in the fridge quite quickly after cooking as it will continue to cook.

SEO Checklist (guide, help, advice, suggestions, tips, article) for job boards
According to an SEO joke, the best place to hide a dead body is on page 2 of Google search results. It makes sense as if you've done your own analysis within Google Search Console you'll know the bulk of clicks come from results high up on Page 1.
It's one reason why the SEO agency landscape is so crammed and competitive.
As an aside, I recently Googled "SEO Agency" and clicked on Page 10. There are genuine results for SEO agency web sites sitting there. That has to be pretty embarrassing for them.
There are many good agencies out there but before you pick one to take your hand/wallet and guide you, take a look at the following checklist of SEO considerations for your site.
Despite the title of this post I'm not including keyword stuffing because that's clearly one of the things you shouldn't be doing.
1) Bread & Butter
There are some basics that I'll avoid going through in detail. This article assumes you:
- Have relevant meta data on each page related to the content
- Have quality content on each page
- Registered with Google Search Console (formerly Webmaster Tools)
- Have a robots.txt file configured correctly
- Setup an analytics system to track inbound traffic (e.g. Google Analytics)
- Analyze your keywords and pick your battles
- Run a responsive web site
If you don't have all of the above ticked then you should contact your provider or talk to your team – they're the basics.
2) Don't compete with yourself
A number of sites fall into the trap of having two different pages housing the same content. In this situation the search engine won't understand which is the correct page and so both URLs may start to compete with each other for ranking.
Some recent examples I've seen have been a job board with two pages for Graduate Jobs and a fashion site that showcased the latest events in two areas.
This mistake often happens due to the complex categorization that powers many online classified sites but is easy to resolve with some thought into how you structure your data. If you can't avoid having duplicate content consider canonical tagging to instruct the search engines on which page is the dominant one.
3) Consider your speed
Page load time impacts user experience and can affect your SEO ranking. You can review your page load speed by using this PageSpeed tool.
Consider what score you get for Desktop and Mobile. Live sites will be impacted by advertisements, analytics and various other scripts that run on the system.
4) Guide the robots
Use noindex/nofollow to prevent certain pages going in to the search engine index and to prevent crawlers following certain links. Depending on the pages of your site you may find it beneficial to tag them with this information.
5) Take advantage of initiatives such as AMP
AMP is one initiative to improve the experience of loading and reading content on a mobile. Your site's content pages should have AMP enabled to take advantage of the potential SEO benefits.
6) Domain name or folder
This is a big one. Are you running your site on the right domain name? Should you consider running it on a folder of another site in your brand? At Madgex we've seen a number of job boards run on "/jobs" with great results, as it normally gives you a healthy dose of indexable content alongside your recruitment offering.
When making this decision you need to consider where your content is housed, if your site is part of a wider brand and how old your existing domain name is to establish the risks of the move.
7) Content is required
If you are running your site on a different domain name to your other services then you should consider a content strategy. This won't just help your Google ranking, it'll also boost your overall user engagement too.
8) Inbound linking
Whatever your industry you'll find hundreds of other web sites with content but not the services you offer such as jobs or courses. It's worth contacting them to see if they will link or display your services for free. Educational institutes looking to help their graduates build a career, content specific blogs looking to provide a more rounded offering or local community hubs may be a good place to start.
There are more commercial ways to receive inbound links. Sponsorship, conference speaking or providing exclusive discount codes on particular e-commerce products are good ways for sites to gain links.
Ultimately inbound linking takes time but pays off in the long term.
9) Consider Bing
This might sound like a crazy one, but if you look at the search statistics from comScore you'll see Google searches account for around 64% of total US desktop searches.
That's a huge market share but also means a third of traffic is searching elsewhere. How many of you are registered on Bing Webmaster Tools?
Source: comScore
And More...
If you're running a Madgex product there are a number of SEO tools and configurations that are worth getting in touch about relating to the above and beyond.
There's no silver bullet with SEO, it's an ongoing evolution of providing good quality content to make it as easy as possible for the search engines to understand your site is the best place to send users. If you do that successfully you'll leave your competitors on page 2, along with all the other dead bodies.
If you'd like to discuss, talk about, converse, exchange views on, debate, chat, chew the fat, compare, review or confabulate about your site's SEO performance further please get in touch.

A Reviews FAQ
I wanted to respond to the questions I've received in both emails and article comments regarding the reviews I've been posting recently. Rather than address them individually however, I thought I'd take this opportunity to create a short article, almost a "Review FAQ" of sorts, to explain things concisely.
Why Are You Writing Reviews?
I've been publishing reviews on Hivelogic for many years (there is a Reviews category dating back at least to 2006). I spend a tremendous amount of time researching the products that I purchase and use, and when I find something great, I like to let people know. My hope is that Hivelogic readers might benefit from what I've learned in the process.
Are You Paid for Writing Reviews?
No. I do not accept any kind of payment, sponsorship, or advertisement for the products I review here. I believe that accepting payment for a review might taint my ability to review it honestly (and that's what sponsorships are for, anyway).
I will accept products from companies for review but I make it a practice to either purchase or return those products after the review is complete.
If You're Not Paid, How Come All Your Reviews Are So Positive?
I think people should only buy something once. It's my personal goal to find products and services that are both affordable and high quality. When I find something like that, I'll share it. I'll do my best to point out what's good and bad about it. But I'm not planning to write "negative" reviews, or warn people about things that aren't great. I'd rather just write about the things that are actually great.
I Have Something I Want You To Review
Great. Contact me and tell me about the product or service. If it makes sense for me and the site, I'll review it.

Monday, October 13, 2014
Kati and Scott returned from their Jamacian vacation in the wee hours of the morning. Kati brought back a very upset stomach. She is feeling better after a day of rest. With a little grace she will be fine.
We got the girls out the door to school and me to get crowned at the dentist all by 7:30 a.m. A small victory for our not so good morning family, except for the little girls who have lots to say at 6:15 a.m.
Next stop, shade tree mechanic to make sure my vehicle, now marking 250,000 + miles, is ready for a road trip. I am very excited about a trip to the Smokey Mountains. I leave tomorrow. Hooray for me!
Ali called to say she found the baby's pacifier and Guiness (the dog)was headed to surgery to remove said pacifier. That explains why the dog has been sick for weeks now. In the 16 months of baby grand's life, Guiness has eaten several pacifiers, bottle nipples, sippy cup tops, etc., however this time the pacifier got stuck. There will be a hefty veterinarian bill. Yikes.
I stopped by my old office to help get the fair exhibits registered. A short 4 hours later, I was ready to head home. Makes retirement shine like a new penny, when I stop by the office.
Got my clothes packed and ready to head toward cooler weather. Today I think the high was around 84 or something like that in mid October. Welcome to south Alabama.
Going to miss my 3 grands, but I am looking forward to a brief road trip. I will post pictures and updates as Camp Gane hits the road.

In The Neighborhood: NoMad
The NoMad neighborhood is packed with history stemming from the gilded age in the 19th century. Back then, the district was the center of the city's social and cultural life with a hub of theatre, dining, shopping and nightlife. In recent years, the neighborhood has undergone something of a renaissance and now boasts an intriguing mix of shops, attractions, eateries and more. And of course, it's our future home at The James New York–NoMad. Check out just a few faves in our soon to be new hood.
Dover Street Market, 160 Lexington Avenue
A true destination for both fashion and architecture lovers, Dover Street Market is a unique, seven-floor shopping experience built under the manifest of "beautiful chaos". Founded by one of the creators of luxury brand Comme Des Garcons, the building was once home to the New York School of Applied Design, but now it feels more like a shoppable art gallery. The market boasts a blend of local and international stores and is also home to a café for post-shopping dining.
The Museum of Mathematics, 11 East 26th Street
You don't have to be mathematically inclined to enjoy the Museum of Mathematics - aka MoMath in NoMad. Creatives will appreciate the predominantly hands-on and interactive exhibits, while kids will love that the museum has some sort of mathematical equation woven into almost every aspect of the facility.
Tone House, 32 East 31st Street
There are so many boutique fitness studios in NoMad, the neighborhood has been dubbed the "fitness district". For those seeking a serious step-up, you can't miss Tone House. Known for conditioning that provides athlete-level training, all classes test each participant both physically and mentally. They've also introduced new recovery classes to help properly recuperate from their workouts – yes, that's how tough it is.
Birch Coffee, 21 East 27th Street
If you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life. Birch Coffee (who is about to be our new neighbor) is just that. This NYC-based coffee roaster puts community and giving back at the forefront of its philosophy. Stop by and indulge in a cortado or espresso paired with a gluten free donut before heading back out to explore the NoMad neighborhood.

Your stunning photos brought tears to my eyes. My dear son whom I lost at the age of 27, two years ago lived in Surprise AZ. We have talked of so many places in AZ we still wanted to visit ( our home state is IN) and now he is gone. One of the places we also looked forward to returning to was Albuquerque, which would have been last Spring. We passed through in March of 2006 when Mikie moved to Az and we drove cross country, the place is incredible! Thank you again for the picturesque views, they warmed my heart thinking of what could have been. I so hope one day to return to New Mexico to savor the beauty and the memories. Have a blessed weekend! Lori Kolecki

So it's finally here! The April GlossyBox, and it shouts "Spring!!" like nothing I've ever seen before!
It's beautiful box design and leaflet brings the whole box to life, making this months GlossyBox ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.
The first item to look out for, is Modelco's 'Cheek + Lip Tint' in Rosey Red. When applied the colour is deep red, or "blood red" as defined by my sister, but nonetheless when patted across the lips and cheeks, the blood red turns into a beautiful rosey red colour.
Did I mention it also smells glorious?
Another glorious smelling product in this months GlossyBox, is 'Nip + Fab's' Pistachio Sundae butter. Not only is this green body butter soft and moisturising on the skin, but it also smells amazing. Like AMAZING. So amazing that I feel like a walking dessert when I wear it, it's smell is just so strong and yummy! If you don't like pistachios or the smell, I strongly advice you do not buy this product haha!
The next travel size item is Sunsense's daily face cream, which I admittedly have not tried yet. But I'll be sure to let you know, if it turns out to be a godsend.
Last but definitely not least, is this beautiful Essie nail varnish in , it's colour is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to try it! Absolute Bargain!

A method of using a solid chemical stick for treating a kitchen sink
drain pipe is provided. The solid chemical stick has dimensions that
enable it to fit through a drain guard but prevent the stick from moving
beyond the drain trap. The stick diminishes in size as it dissolves until
it is swept away by drain water passing through the drain pipe.
1. A method of sanitizing a drain pipe, the drain pipe extending
underneath a sink basin and covered by a drain guard installed in the
sink basin, the drain pipe having a U-shaped trap, the method comprising
the steps of: (a) providing a solid, dissolvable stick for sanitizing the
drain pipe, the stick comprising a sanitizing chemical and having
dimensions that enable the stick to fit through the drain guard but that
prevent the stick from moving beyond the U-shaped trap; (b) dropping the
stick through openings in the drain guard, thereby allowing the stick to
become lodged in the U-shaped trap 18; (c) allowing the stick to dissolve
and thus sanitize the drain pipe until enough of the stick dissolves to
enable it to pass through and beyond the U-shaped trap.
2. The method of claim 1 in which during step (c) it takes thirty days for the stick to sufficiently dissolve so that it can pass beyond the U-shaped trap.
3. The method of claim 1 in which the stick further comprises a fragrance.
[0001] This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/926384, filed Oct. 29, 2007.
[0002] 1. Field of the Invention
[0003] This patent relates to a chemical deodorizer, sanitizer and/or freshener for a sink drain. More specifically, this patent relates to a method of using a solid chemical stick that nests in a sink drain trap and slowly dissolves to deodorize, sanitize and/or freshen the drain.
[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0005] Kitchen sink drains come equipped with traps designed to prevent gases from backing up into the kitchen. Water settling in the trap prevents the gases from passing upstream through the drain and into the kitchen. However, these gases can contaminate or otherwise sour the water in the trap, and the resulting unpleasant odor can disseminate back into the kitchen. Food and other particles trapped in the drain also can cause sink odors.
[0006] Numerous methods of dealing with this problem have been proposed, perhaps the most common being to pour baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) down the drain. While this method may provide a temporary solution to a drain odor problem, the baking soda is quickly washed away once water is introduced into the drain.
[0007] Other methods of deodorizing and or sanitizing sink drains have been proposed. For example, Gangloff U.S. Pat. No. 2,542,367 describes a device that fits in the trap of a sink drain and can be heated as needed to clean the drain trap. The heating effect can also sanitize the drain by killing organisms.
[0008] Roth U.S. Pat. No. 4,910,808 describes a device that dispenses a flowable deodorizing chemical from a pressurized container into the inside of a grinder type garbage disposal system.
[0009] Richter U.S. Pat. No. 6,197,321 describes a solid granular chemical drain treatment product that fits above a sink drain. The chemical slowly dissolves under contact with drain water.
[0010] Scuilla U.S. Pat. No. 6,558,538 describes a rod-shaped device that can be dropped down into the area within a U-shaped sink trap to sanitize the drain. The device is a porous container which holds a chemical deodorizer that can slowly dissolve. The device is held in place by a tether.
[0011] All of these methods involve complicated solutions to the problem of drain odors. Thus there remains a need for a simple, effective way to deodorize and/or sanitize a sink drain. The present invention is intended to meet that need by providing a solid chemical stick that can be dropped down a sink drain and then lodged in the typically U-shaped trap to allow the solid chemical deodorizing agent to slowly dissolve, thereby deodorizing, sanitizing and or freshening the drain.
[0012] Further and additional objects will appear from the description, accompanying drawings, and appended claims.
[0013] The present invention is a method of using a solid chemical stick to treat a kitchen or industrial sink drain pipe. The sink itself comprises a basin and a drain guard installed in the basin. The drain pipe is connected to the drain guard and includes a trap which is typically U-shaped. The solid chemical stick has dimensions that enable it to fit through the drain guard but that prevent the stick from moving beyond the trap. The stick diminishes in size as it dissolves until it can be swept away by drain water passing through the drain pipe.
[0014] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sink drain shown in partial cutaway to show the invention in use.
[0015] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a drain guard.
[0016] While this invention may be embodied in many forms, there is shown in the drawings and will herein be described in detail one or more embodiments with the understanding that this disclosure is to be considered an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the illustrated embodiments.
[0017] Turning to the drawings, there is shown in FIG. 1 a perspective view of a sink drain, shown in partial cutaway to show one embodiment of the invention in use. The invention is a method of using a solid chemical stick 10 for treating a kitchen or industrial sink drain pipe 12. The sink itself comprises a basin 14 and a drain guard 16 (shown in greater detail in FIG. 2) installed in the basin 14. The drain pipe 12 is connected to the drain guard 16 and includes a typically U- or P-shaped trap 18, shown in cutaway view in FIG. 1. In an important aspect of the invention, the solid chemical stick 10 has dimensions that enable it to fit through the drain guard 16 but that prevent the stick 10 from moving beyond the trap 18. The stick 10 diminishes in size as it dissolves until it can be swept away by drain water passing through the drain pipe 12.
[0018] To practice the invention, the user drops a stick 10 down through openings 20 in the drain guard 16. The stick 10 becomes lodged in the trap 18, and will remain there, freshening the drain, until enough of the stick dissolves to enable it to pass through and beyond the trap 18.
[0019] The "stick" can have any dimensions as long as they are small enough to enable the stick to pass through the openings 20 in the drain guard 16 yet large enough to cause the stick to become lodged in the trap 18, at least until the stick partially dissolves. Suggested dimensions for the stick 10 are a minimum of one sixteenth inches in width or diameter and a minimum of about four and one half inches in length. Of course, the acceptable dimensions are a function of the size of the drain guard openings 20 and the trap 18.
[0020] The illustrated stick 10 is cylindrical and has a circular cross section, but the stick 10 can be formed in any suitable cross sectional shape, including but not limited to rectangular and triangular.
[0021] It is desired that the stick 10 take about thirty days to sufficiently diminish in size (by dissolving) to pass beyond the trap 18, thereby providing a month's worth of freshening action. The rate of dissolution will vary, of course, with the stick dimensions and the type of chemical used to form the stick 10. It is anticipated that a binder will be required for the stick to retain its shape until dissolved.
[0022] The compounds used to form the stick can include a deodorizer, a sanitizer, an antimicrobial compound and a fragrance. The stick 10 can also be unscented.
[0023] It is understood that the embodiments of the invention described above are only particular examples which serve to illustrate the principles of the invention. Modifications and alternative embodiments of the invention are contemplated which do not depart from the scope of the invention as defined by the foregoing teachings and appended claims. It is intended that the claims cover all such modifications and alternative embodiments that fall within their scope.

I'M BAAAAACK and I'm so sorry. Between my last set of exams ever, graduating and the huge amount of 21st birthday parties I've had the pleasure of celebrating (including mine!) I have no idea what happened that made me ignore this space for so long. I think I apologise every post I put up here now but here is a little something to occupy you for a few minutes on your Sunday night.
Also a quick note, there was no particular reason that I closed off my ask.fm. I just felt like it was time to have one less social media account! My email is still there for anybody who would like to contact me about anything.
Celebratory dinner at Elixir Roof Top. We went there for the red and ribs special (deff recommend).
I graduated from my bachelor's degree just a night before my 21st birthday hooray!
A huge thank you to my amazing cousin who made this salted caramel cake with matching silver and red detailing to match my theme.
I have no idea what was going on here but I like it because we all look really happy HAHA.
I had a Christmas in July theme incase you didn't put it together!
My sister was thoughtful enough to organise a geofilter for my party and I absolutely loved it. Can you see little me in the slideshow that Adrii made?
Hope you guys enjoyed this quick little post to get back into the feel of things. I'll be back in a few days with a travel diary post from my recent trip to Sydney with a few beautiful girls - pinky promise. In the meantime, I hope all of you are well and that you had an amazing weekend.

The ARM vs x86 Wars Have Begun: In-Depth Power Analysis of Atom, Krait & Cortex A15by Anand Lal Shimpi on January 4, 2013 7:32 AM EST

Cortex A15: GPU Power Consumption - 3D Gaming Workload
ARM's Mali-T604 GPU is pretty quick, but similar to ARM's Cortex A15s it can definitely use a considerable amount of power to deliver that performance. Peak GPU power consumption tops out at just under 4W compared to ~1W for Qualcomm's Adreno 225. Even the Cortex A15s pull a decent amount of power in this test compared to the alternatives. It seems like that 4W max we keep seeing is likely the typical TDP for the Exynos 5250, anywhere from 1x - 4x what we get with Atom Z2760 and APQ8060A.
The Mali-T604's performance advantage here comes at a price: total energy consumed is far higher than any of the competing solutions.

metafor - Friday, January 04, 2013 - linkIt matters to a degree. Look at the CPU power chart, the CPU is constantly being ramped from low to high frequencies and back.
Tegra automatically switches the CPU to a low-leakage core at some frequency threshold. This helps in almost all situations except for workloads that constantly keep the CPU at above that threshold, which, if you look at the graph, isn't the case.
That being said, that doesn't mean it'll be anywhere near enough to catch up to its Atom and Krait competitors. Reply
jeffkro - Saturday, January 05, 2013 - linkThe tegra 3 is also not the post powerful arm processor, intel obviously chose it to make atom look better. Reply
npoe1 - Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - linkFrom one of Ananad's articles: "NVIDIA recently revealed it was doing something similar to this with its upcoming Tegra 3 (Kal-El) SoC. NVIDIA outfitted its next-generation SoC with five CPU cores, although only a maximum of four are visible to the OS. If you're running light tasks (background checking for email, SMS/MMS, twitter updates while your phone is locked) then a single low power Cortex A9 core services those needs while the higher performance A9s remain power gated. Request more of the OS (e.g. unlock your phone and load a webpage) and the low power A9 goes to sleep and the 4 high performance cores wake up."

jeffkro - Saturday, January 05, 2013 - linkA15 currently pulls to much power for smartphone but it makes for a great tablet chip as well as providing enough horse power to power basic laptops. Reply
djgandy - Friday, January 04, 2013 - linkThe most obvious thing here is that PowerVR graphics are far superior to Nvidia graphics. Reply
Wolfpup - Friday, January 04, 2013 - linkActually no, that isn't obvious at all. Tegra 3 is a two year old design, on a 2 generations old process. The fact that it's still competitive today is just because it was so good to begin with. It'll be nessisary to look at the performance and power usage of upcoming Nvidia chips on the same process to actually say anything "obvious" about them. Reply
Death666Angel - Friday, January 04, 2013 - linkAccording to Wikipedia, the 545 is from January '10, so it's got its a 3 year old now. The only current gen thing here is the Mali. The 225 is just a 220 with a higher clock, so it's about 1.5 to 2 years old. Reply
djgandy - Friday, January 04, 2013 - linkAnd a 4/5 year old atom and the 2/3 year+ old SGX545 aren't old designs?
Look at the power usage of Nvidia. It's way beyond what is acceptable for any SOC design. Phones from 2 years ago used far less power on older processes than the 40nm T3! Just look at GLbenchmark battery life tests for the HTC One X and you'll see how poor the T3 GPU is. In fact just take your Nvidia goggles off and re-read this whole article. Reply
Wolfpup - Friday, January 04, 2013 - linkAtom's basic design is old, the manufacturing process is newer. Tegra 3 is by default at the biggest disadvantage here. You accuse me of bias when it appears you're actually biased. Reply
Chloiber - Tuesday, January 08, 2013 - linkFirst of all it's still 40nm.
Second of all: you mentioned the battery benchmarks yourself. Go look at the Nexus 4 review and look how the international version of the One X fares. Battery life on the T3 One X is very good, if you take into account that it's based on 40nm compared to 28nm of the One XL and uses 4 cores. Reply

It's been two weeks since we spent a fabulous weekend in Puerto Rico with family to celebrate my sister's 50th birthday, and I miss it so much. I find myself longing for the serenade of the coqui in the evenings, the sight of the smiles on the faces of my family, the cool feeling of the crystal blue water on my skin, and of course, the taste of the food. Though, gratefully, I am pacified knowing that I will be back again and again over the years ahead.
My little brood only got to spend a long weekend there this time, but we managed to fit quite a bit in! Here is a recap of our weekend in Puerto Rico.
My little traveling tots were more than ready for the adventure ahead
Oh, the places you'll go...
My sister booked a fabulous mountain home with a beach view on HomeAway in Bayamon (only $100 a night!). I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a secluded respite with all the comforts of a home, while still being within traveling distance from the airport and San Juan city. Renting a car is recommended if you stay outside of town.

Saturday - Viejo San Juan
When the boys heard there were old forts to explore, they couldn't wait to see San Cristobal and El Morro. We spent Saturday morning exploring the history and scenery of Old San Juan. Fortunately we were there during National Park Week and could enter El Morro for free!

When you walk nearly four miles before lunch, you pass out on the table before your food even arrives!
Sunday - La Playa
On Sunday morning we drove to Fajardo and climbed aboard a few of our family's boats for a day of fun in the sun. After checking out a few small islands as options, we opted for Cayo Icacos, where we spent the entire day in the sand or the water.
Cool cousins
Two out of my three cool dudes...
...and my third cool dude!
The water at Cayo Icacos was a surreal shade of blue
Do I look like the female version of Daniel Craig in this photo? The beach soon filled with boats and other beach-goers
With my big sis, soaking it up!
Mi amor!
The weekend went by far too quickly, but it just means we will have to go back soon. Thanks so much to my wonderful family in Puerto Rico for being such gracious and fun hosts, and thanks to everyone else who made the journey and added to the experience.

It's why they put so much time and effort into researching the best ways to make Grille Guards and Bumpers for a wide variety of trucks. That attention to detail has turned customers into brand loyalists and the company itself into a market-dominating dynamo.
That's no exaggeraton, either. Since 2002, Road Armor has taken the lead in production of high-angle faceting designs that have become the industry norm. It's not just design that keeps Road Armor at the forefront, but also intense attention paid to every fit and finish, along with pricing that remains competitive across a wide swath of the industry.
It seems simple, but believe us: it is not. Road Armor has achieved their unrivaled position because they are devoted to their customers, and they want to keep them happy.


text: First off Sir Mike.... I`m asking this in your forum and not in "strings" since I am interested in your personal preferances and input. My bass...did I say "bass"? I mean the love of my life .... is a `98 MIA Fender P.She is in need of strings in a bad way but I am so confused as to the plethora of brands,makes,styles,etc.... I do know I want roundwounds though(I have flats on another bass and like them but for me they are not the all purpose string I will use most).I am foremost concerned with a string that will amplify and/or accentuate the "P bass sound". I love this bass and love the sound,just want a set of strings that will be best suited to it.I am fairly new to bass(16 months) so play at my skill level....mainly into alt. rock,classic rock,pop 40,some(easier)motown/oldies. Sorry if this post is a bit long winded Mike. Usul

Generally I'm not particularly squeamish when I'm watching Casualty or Holby, but there's one thing I can't look at, and that's nosebleeds. There was a pretty spectacular one in this episode, issuing forth from the nostrils of guest artiste Keith Barron. The sub-competent May attempted to treat it, but got things wrong and it was left to cocky Lenny to fix the problem. May thought she'd get a little revenge by telling Lenny that the patient had later died of a massive stroke (he hadn't), but she reckoned without Lenny deciding it was time to hone his people skills by breaking the news to the patient's two daughters. Needless to say, they didn't take the news well, and were more than a little shocked when daddy was wheeled out of the lift a few minutes later looking fairly perky.
To be fair to May, she confessed to what she'd done, so now she's on her final warning, and that fellowship place is looking like a lost cause. May has an ace up her sleeve, though, in the form of her own daddy, who works for the hospital trust and is in prime string-pulling position.
Yet another bad week for Ruth. After inviting her brother Jonathan to stay with her, she was looking forward to a nice family Christmas, and gave him some money to buy a tree, turkey and tinsel. Sadly it turns out that he isn't the reformed character he was making himself out to be, and was found collapsed with a needle sticking between his toes. Later on Ruth got home to find her flat trashed. Lovely Staff Nurse Faldren keeps offering her advice and she keeps snapping at him "What business is it of yours?" It's his business because he still loves you, foolish girl, and it's still not too late to have yourself a merry little Christmas after all.
The prospects for Nick Jordan having a merry Christmas look bleak, as we last saw him throwing his Holby City ID card off a very high bridge. This was following the board meeting where Adam was called to explain why he'd gone AWOL to a hip-hop nativity play and apparently left the no-longer licensed to practise Nick Jordan in charge. Nick popped up at the 11th hour and said it had all been his doing, he'd only wanted a chance to prove he could still cut the mustard in A&E, but apparently he can't as his fine motor skills are no longer as fine as they were. Dr Zoe Hanna tried to persuade him not to commit career suicide, but ever since she saved his life by stealth, Nick hasn't trusted Dr Zoe. We last saw her doing what she does best – knocking back a row of tequila slammers. At least one person in Holby is determined that she'll be rat-arsed merry this Christmas.

There will be no updates here for a few days.
If it's been a while since you've explicitly told someone who matters to you that they do, why not bring in the New Year doing so?
We will probably resume operations toward the end of next week.

Our friend Lorne was interested in seeing the kayak, so I brought the whole bag and showed him how easy it was to setup from start to finish.
In about 20 minutes, you're ready to go!
I'll wave as you go past Winnipeg!ReplyDelete
We waved hi to you but we haven't totally passed by Winnipeg, we are staying at the Regent Casino for the night. Feel free to come by and say hi in person! ;-)Delete
I don't gamble but they have a really nice aquarium inside! My sister is moving to the city today or I would! Hope it's not too bright in the lot for you.Delete
We remember the aquarium from our last visit back in Oct. 2007, unfortunately they just closed that area off the day before because they are going to be doing construction in that area. :-(
No problem, maybe on our next drive through the area. The parking lot wasn't too bright, our new blackout curtains work well, just need to make some more for our bedroom windows.
Looks like a wonderful fun fall day, and the Kayak on the smooth lake was a bonus.ReplyDelete
It was a beautiful day yesterday, in every way!Delete
That kayak is a great purchase, nice you can use it as a single as you can't do that with a regular kayak. Safe travels!ReplyDelete
Yes, we are thinking that it was an excellent purchase!Delete
Glad you had a fun day without any driving.ReplyDelete
It was a very enjoyable day! :-)Delete
Thank you for taking the time to visit with us. We love to chat with other wanderers and your stories were fascinating. After seeing first hand how you handle blogging, Sue and I talked, and we think we will try it again so keep your eyes pealed for another "A place called away" blog spot sometime soon.
We look forward to crossing paths many times in the future whether it be in Northern Ontario, Saskatchewan, or some pretty town in Mexico.
Safe travels until we meet again.
Thank you for inviting us and for your wonderful hospitality! We really enjoyed our time with you both and look forward to your updates on facebook.
Somehow, I know our paths will cross again! :-)
I love seeing the calmness of the water and the reflections of the fall colors in the water. Beautiful day for a super ride.ReplyDelete
So do we, and we are hoping to be able to get out on the water again before this trip is done. :-)Delete

In an effort to sidestep cumbersome licensing negotiations, U.S. record labels and music publishers reached an agreement Tuesday that will allow record companies to automatically license works for online music services without having to clear songs with individual publishers.
The deal reached by the Recording Industry Association of America Inc. (RIAA), the National Music Publishers' Association Inc. (NMPA) and the Harry Fox Agency Inc. (HFA) grants RIAA-represented labels and licensees "bulk licensing" to the musical works the HFA holds rights to, for on-demand streaming and limited download services.
HFA was established by the NMPA in 1927 and represents more than 27,000 U.S. publishers, staking claim to the lion's share of U.S. publishing rights.
The agreement removes a "major legal roadblock" for new online subscription services," RIAA President and Chief Executive Officer Hilary Rosen said in a statement. Subscription services can begin licensing thousands of musical works immediately, Rosen said.
The agreement could be key for label-backed online subscription services MusicNet and Pressplay, allowing them quick and easy licensing to a wealth of musical content. MusicNet was formed by AOL Time Warner Inc., Bertelsmann AG, EMI Group PLC and RealNetworks Inc., and Pressplay is backed by Vivendi Universal SA and Sony Music Entertainment Inc. Both services are scheduled to launch this year.
To offer online music, mechanical and publishing rights must be obtained. This two-layered licensing scheme has been a speed bump for music services thus far, resulting in lengthy negotiating processes with various publishers and labels over royalty rates and other matters.
Although royalty rates under the new deal have yet to be hammered out, the RIAA has agreed to pay the HFA a US$1 million advance toward the royalties to be determined. Once rates are established, they will be paid retroactively from commencement of the services. If a rate is not decided on in the next two years, the recording industry will pay monthly advances totaling $750,000 a year until the rate is set.
Publishers represented by the HFA can, however, opt out of the agreement if they choose, and individual labels or online music services may decide to negotiate directly with music publishers.
In addition, it is a nonexclusive deal, meaning that the publishers can license their content to any number of online music services.

British Airways' huge new business centre near Heathrow feels like a user-friendly building. Thoroughly modern, it still harks back to community and small towns, with a High Street of shops, banks, a doctor's surgery and throngs of people. Way above is a glass roof. And down the middle of this cobbled thoroughfare runs a stream, with cafes and restaurants on its banks.
Recently, as a group of students from Cranford Community College in the London Borough of Hounslow, walked down this street, they may have reflected that, apart from being a lesson in architecture, the centre is also a vivid illustration of the power of information and communications technology (ICT).
At the entrance is a screen where visitors key in the name of the person they want to see and are shown where he or she is. Nearby is a machine which enables staff to book and receive airline tickets on tap, and down the street there is a library where they can access courses on CD-Rom and other media. Staff can also shop on the internal Internet and have their goods delivered to their desk or car.
Using the flexibility which IT offers, employees can organise their day in terms of hours and where they work: hot desking, for example, is a system which encourages staff to plug in their laptops, not at specific desks, but at any workplace - or home or cafe - where they can also key in their telephone number.
The 11 Cranford students - aged between 16 and 17 - were visiting the centre, known as Waterside, as part of a day-long session to support their GNVQ studies in advanced business and IT. Most of the session was spent at BA's Community Learning Centre with computers linked to many of its application packages - booking, e-commerce and baggage control systems among them. A systems "block" prevented them placing fictitious baggage on a real plane or getting a bill for a flight to the Bahamas.
"The sessions have been worked out in consultation with schools to give students work-related experiences and support teachers, says Mary Barry, BA's education co-ordinator.
In his introductory talk Mark Haggan, BA's learning systems consultant, discussed the qualities which BA seeks in its staff. They include languages and cultural awareness. Others are acceptance of flexible working practices, IT literacy, and people skills.
One exercise was to book seats to a chosen destination using BA's own Internet booking system - many of the students were doing a module on booking systems, requiring an assessment of their user- friendliness. The importance of the Internet was emphasised. At present "80 per cent of the airline's tickets are bought in travel agents and 0.1 per cent through the Internet", a BA executive told the group. But that situation is expected to change dramatically. Students also explored BA's Intranet system, where information for staff is posted, and worked their way through a "safety in the workplace" training programme.
Finally they went on a virtual tour of the business centre, using the programme sent to BA by the architect, before the actual visit.
"Brilliant", "great", was the students' verdict on the day. But undoubtedly the highlight was the visit to Waterside. Haggan asked what they learned on the day during the evaluation session. "That I want to get a job there," was one quick reply. One of the benefits of the session, said teacher Nikki Kettlewell, was that it confirmed to them that this might indeed be more than possible: "They can aspire to work here after this."
* The centre mainly caters to schools in and around Heathrow but will also sometimes accept bookings from further afield. Apart from programmes on IT and Communications Technology other sessions support languages, environmental education, marketing and brands and GNVQ Leisure and Tourism. At present it caters for secondary schools, but is keen to get involved with younger children. Programmes are free (schools pay for transport and pupils bring their own lunch).

You've probably heard about the case of a man who was sentenced to a handful of months in jail for a sexual assault conviction. You may or may not think that's a fair sentence, but do please understand that his life is basically over. He's a convicted felon, and worse, a convicted sex offender. He'll face massive struggles for the rest of his life because of these two things, so while his sentence may seem brief, bear in mind that it is, in many ways, a life sentence.
"Just like the one his victim has!" you might cry. "Revenge!"
And revenge is what we're going to get. Not against him, of course, though having a bunch of armed protesters show up at his house is just fucking creepy. Seriously, knock that shit off, you guys.
Where was I? Oh, yes. Revenge. Because of this incident, and a perception, that isn't entirely accurate, that rich white men get off with much easier sentences than other people do, a new law has been proposed in California that broadens the definition of rape (fine), and mandates stricter minimum sentences (not fine).
This really is a terrible solution to this problem. You know what's going to happen with stricter laws regarding this? I'll give you a hint: rich white males will still get around them. Poor black males? Not a chance.
And as liberals, we're supposed to stand up for the oppressed, right? That feels, at first glance, like what we're doing; standing up for women. But poor black men will suffer from this law far more than rich white men, and of those two, who do you think is the more oppressed? Anyhow, I thought we were supposed to be against longer prison sentences and against standard minimums.
This is a bad law. This is a bad solution to this situation, as is the recall effort against the judge in this case.
The solution here is a wholesale reform of the legal process to make it fairer. To make it so that poor black men stand the same basic chance in court as rich white men. This law will not do that.
If you believe in reforming the judicial system then you have to embrace logical, rational decisions that will benefit many and harm few. Changing the laws to punish one person (who won't be punished under these laws), does not accomplish that. This does nothing but make life harder for a people who already have hard enough lives as it is.

Why vr porn app is banned in Ghana since 2012
Tens of hundreds of thousands of Those people close to the planet incorporate turn out to be thoroughly addicted in direction of vr porn app. And science at this time exhibits that our head variations anytime we continuously retain the services of everything toward order large; be it medications or viewing just about anything upon the net.
Dopamine facilities in just the mind are trigged While a profit is obtainable and this Room of the thoughts lighting up upon fMRI scans. And at the time awhile a specific is made up of towards consist of whichever it is they crave. Within real truth, they can start out toward despise vr porn app nevertheless will need vr porn app precisely towards incorporate that hurry of dopamine in direction of appear to be considerably pure. And the extra they hire vr porn app, the added they grow to be addicted in direction of vr porn app… and as a result merely which includes any drug they choose hooked.
What we contain transferring upon by now is Really equivalent towards what occurred for the duration of the very last times of the Roman Empire. Brothels had been well-known and us citizens went in direction of them 2 or even 3 days a working day toward choose a repair service. They experienced in direction of choose large in just acquire towards perform inside tradition.
The simply distinction is presently we transfer toward the world-wide-web in direction of purchase our maintenance. And this sort of dependancy is not effortlessly cured, yet it is opportunity. It can take superior fortitude and determination towards crack no cost and develop into entire. There are lots of businesses that aid folks split free of charge of vr porn app and patient counseling moreover aids. And with year and exertion ultimately a individual can split free of charge, it's exceptionally identical in the direction of currently being an alcoholic and moving in direction of AA.
Still 1 of the highest sizeable specifics of breaking no cost of any habit is the Get pleasure from of God, the Universe, and Very good Spirit. In direction of include very good religion, towards incorporate a potent comprehending that Good Spirit is usually with us.
All the things we do is towards be performed with enjoy within just thoughts. In the direction of consider a drug or in the direction of keep track of vr porn app is particularly the contrary of appreciate… it genuinely degrades our intellect bodily and commences the spiral downfall of our daily life. Hence how can that be take pleasure in?
Why vr porn app is banned in Ghana since 2012
In direction of appreciate ourselves is toward try to eat healthier foods with appreciate inside of head, towards fitness with delight in inside head, towards meditate with take pleasure in inside brain, in the direction of pray with enjoy within thoughts, toward do our hard work with delight in inside intellect, in direction of have interaction with our companion, our household, and pals with get pleasure from inside intellect, and something else that we do is usually in direction of be carried out with get pleasure from within just intellect.
*** Investing Spots: Gals and the vr porn app Current market
It's inside the coupling. Limbs entwined within just limbs, the path oneself can come to feel pores and skin rub upon pores and skin, Individuals are the variables that attract women of all ages in direction of vr porn app. Occasionally noticed as taboo, women of all ages's bettering notice within just the sexual intercourse market place incorporates created them the fresh new local community in direction of market place. Reports and in a different way evidently needless percentages assert gals as the victor of utmost proportion shopping for vr porn app.
With ladies dropping the shackles of dated thoughts upon gender tasks, morals and taboos, they are getting upon the purpose of writer and manipulator of the vr porn app marketplace. With much more girls purchasing vr porn appographic movies and at this time coming into the organization as director of grownup flicks, they are switching the deal with of the vr porn app market place.
Shifting again towards the place we started out. Analyze includes listed that the girl system responds towards the romantic associations of partners with no respect in the direction of sexual orientation. Contrary to males who merely confirmed arousal each time traveling to photographs relating in direction of their personal sexual orientation, the girl system responded toward it all. For numerous females, vr porn app is particularly one more sexual software toward assistance them accomplish the fulfillment they demand. Sexual visuals can induce arousal and even fill the void of foreplay within a romantic relationship. Within just truth of the matter, sexually specific photographs are an aphrodisiac for possibly adult males and gals. They extremely aid purchase the juices flowing (pardon the pun).
Females's awareness and fresh embrace upon the sexual current market is shaping the course administrators and executives sector and believe with regards to their films. It's no more time simply in excess of the titties and ass still over the high-quality of pics and notice upon embrace and intimacy (hunky males dress in't damage both). A encounter elevate upon vr porn app may well even aid in the direction of proper poor conclude-ups, angles and comical conversation. The times of sexual parody may possibly quickly be attaining an close with further more of a interest upon the structure and legitimacy of the sexual encounter. Girls aren't out in the direction of erase the myth (possibly fantasies among pets) still towards generate individuals fantasies further more comprehensive and plausible.
Whilst a get worried around matching up in direction of the actors within the grownup leisure market place can be a barrier for the two person and woman visitors, the cosmetically best aren't likely absent. Plenty of researches think that belief weak within phrases of human body and breast dimensions, the path their individual sections glance and unsmooth thighs contributes toward girl prevention of vr porn app. Regrettably, we ultimately established individuals insecurities apart in the direction of check the most recent "chick flick" starring the following inside of the very long line of far too thin actresses. Researching sexuality and taking in an additional outlet towards do hence, finally wins in excess of the be concerned that our tits and ass merely received't incorporate up.
The shifts and variations remaining created inside of the vr porn app market place assistance capitalize upon a fresh mounted of buyers and give vr porn app a path out of exhausted and clichéd themes. Who would consist of concept, all the vr porn app current market necessary was a lady's contact.
The Net is an extension of the accurate-existence Narcissistic Pathological Place nonetheless devoid of its hazards, injury, and disappointments.

He (or she) can therefore fend off complaint, abuse, disagreement, and disapproval appropriately and inside of genuine season ; and, at the same time, continue to keep the precarious stability of his infantile temperament. Narcissists are, for that reason, inclined toward World wide web dependancy.
The absolutely sure capabilities of the World wide web are mainly missing upon the narcissist. He is not prepared upon developing his horizons, fostering legitimate associations, or turning out to be inside correct make contact with with other us residents. The narcissist is for good the provincial considering that he filters almost everything for the duration of the slim lens of his dependancy. He actions many others ; and idealizes or devalues them ; in accordance in direction of a single criterion simply: how educational they may perhaps be as Methods of Narcissistic Provide.
The Net is an egalitarian medium in which us residents are judged by means of the regularity and top quality of their contributions quite than as a result of the information or bombast of their states. Nonetheless the narcissist is powered in direction of distracting discomfiture by means of a absence of obvious and usually authorized hierarchy (with himself at the pinnacle).
