Author Interview: Jack W. Regan
I recently had the pleasure of interviewing a new author of Young Adult fiction, Jack W. Regan. Previously on my blog I also read and reviewed his book T'Aragam, which is the first of a planned series. To read my review follow the link at the end of the interview.
Jack's Virtual Book Tour started on July 17th and will run through August 10th. Doing a virtual book tour myself in March of this year I know how much time and effort goes into this type of campaign. I am happy to be a part of it and wish him the best in his tour.
Please welcome Jack W. Regan...KC: How long did T'Aragam take to write?
JW: From original idea to finished manuscript...about nine months, mostly because I couldn't decide how I wanted to write it. It was originally going to be in first person and I wrote about 15,000 words that way, when I realized it just wasn't working. At one point I just shelved the whole thing, figuring it was a lost cause. Then I saw an advertisement for a novel-writing contest. When I saw the ad, the deadline was a mere six weeks away. I pulled out "T'Aragam" and began working like a mad person. I changed the viewpoint and altered a few other plot points and some how managed to write and rewrite the entire manuscript, finishing a mere two days prior to the deadline. So, from first glimmer to completion, almost a year, although the vast majority of the work was done in the six weeks prior to the contest deadline.
KC: How did you find your publisher and how long did it take?
JW: I published "T'Aragam" myself. I didn't even try to track down a traditional publisher, not because I didn't have faith in my book, but because I'm a little anti-establishment when it comes to publishing. I kinda resent the bigger publishers picking and choosing what the public should read. I'm a total sell-out, of course, because if a publisher came and offered me a nice sum to publish this series, I'd be an idiot to refuse, but at the same time I think the industry is changing. There are a myriad of opportunities for authors to make themselves heard. I know there are benefits to being traditionally published, I'm not denying that. Nor do I think less of authors who choose that route. If it works for them,that's great. For me, I love having complete control of the product, everything from writing to cover and interior design. It's a heckuva lotta fun and the response has been great.
KC: Where did the idea for T'Aragam come from?
JW: I've always been fascinated with time travel and parallel universes and wondered if it will ever be possible to travel between them, whether or not they affect one another, or what it would be like to go back in history with modern day knowledge. That's how "T'Aragam" started. Obviously, the actual book is far from that and it's better off for it, but that's how it began. Shows what a massive rewrite actually took place!:0)
KC: What draws you to write YA Fantasy? Do you want to try other genres?
JW: I've tried other genres, most of them aimed for a more adult audience. But I think writing for younger readers suits my writing style more. I don't like to take things too seriously and I think that hampered my earlier works, which were supposed to be serious and gritty, but always had an undercurrent of goofiness. Yeah. Didn't work so well. As far as fantasy goes, I think it's just the escape from reality that beckons me. You aren't bound so much by the restraints of what people know and are comfortable with. "Hey, I just wrote about a giant horse with wings and the head of a dragon!" "Those don't exist," someone scoffs."They do in my world!" I say smugly.
KC: This question was born out of a Twitter conversation. Do you think the author chooses the story/genre or the story/genre chooses the author?
JW: Simply speaking for myself, I had to play around with genres before I found YA fantasy. As I said, I formerly was writing stuff for a more mature audience: mysteries, etc. I just wasn't that good at it. Why I thought I had to write those, I'm not sure. I think the story itself often chooses a writer, though. As a writer, I've had ideas leap out of nowhere and take my brain hostage, refusing to let it go until I write something about it. I think it works both ways. Even when an idea does "choose" a writer, that writer must still flesh it out.
KC: I read and enjoyed T'Aragam. You left the possibility and the hint of a sequel. How's that coming along?
JW: The title of book two is "Kingdom Heir." It's underway and is scheduled to be released on Dec. 1, 2009!
To find out more about the book and all sorts of other fun stuff, please visit: www.taragam.comAmazon.com purchase link:http://www.amazon.com/TAragam-Jack-W-Regan/dp/1442114592/
Thank you Jack for your honest and insightful answers. I can relate to the challenge of rewriting. I am facing similar issues with my current book. It is hard to make such drastic changes but sometimes it has to be done. In your case it was a complete success. I love the final outcome of T'Aragam and look forward to reading the next book, Kingdom Heir. Good luck on the rest of your virtual tour.
Also, thanks to all you readers who have stopped by to learn more about Jack W. Regan and his new book. If you would like to read my review of T'Aragam click on the following link.
As always, I welcome your comments and thoughts on this. This is my first author interview and hope that the questions and answers will help other writers find some inspiration and confidence in their own work.
Thanks and keep reading!

Children's Book Review Series: Pingo by Brandon Mull
Pingo by Brandon Mull and illustrated by Brandon Dorman is sure to be the next best selling children's book. It is packed with creativity, imagination, and mischief. The book is geared toward children in grades K-3, but I think younger would enjoy having it read to them and it makes a great book for older children to share with siblings or school reading buddies.
Have you ever had an imaginary friend, or have you known someone who did? It still makes me smile to see a child chatting excitedly and running around an imaginary world with friends unseen to anyone else. In Pingo, Brandon Mull asks an interesting question. What happens when your imaginary friend becomes your imaginary enemy? Mull's creative humor, combined with Brandon Dorman's artistic talent, answer this question perfectly. This is the children's literacy equivalence to the classic imaginary friend gone bad movie, Drop Dead Fred.
Chad and Pingo are the best of friends. The exciting adventures they share are limitless. But when Chad thinks he is too old for an imaginary friend he finds the trouble Pingo can cause is just as limitless. This is a cute, laugh out loud story about the importance of friendship and imagination.
Pingo is not the first book the Brandons (Mull & Dorman) have worked on together. Mull is the author of the New York best selling series Fablehaven; of which Dorman also illustrated.
Pingo is not yet released, but is currently on sale and available for pre-order on Amazon. The expected release date is August 5, 2009.
Let me know if you get this book. My family loved it and know you and your children will too.

It's Contest Time Again!
Monday, July 20, 2009
This one's for you Gram...
She was, and is still in many ways, the backbone of the family. Her never wavering love of family and strict adherence to right and wrong has made me who I am today. I just want to take a moment to share a bit of knowledge that has stuck with me; some things I wish I had told her before. She always knew she was loved, but I wish she could have known how important she was in all our lives and how much of her is in the foundations that make us who we are today. Of course she did not always use traditional methods to ingrain her morals and beliefs into us.
Before I share her words, let me share the image of her; the way I will always see her.
Gram was a giant among women. Not in stature, as she barely touched 5 feet tall before age and gravity took their toll, but in personality. She had long fire red hair that she rolled up each night in small foam covered curlers. Her dancing blue eyes that could make you smile or cringe depending on her mood. She had a love of life that no amount of money or material things, or lack of, could change. She was loyal to her family and friends and fiercely protective when either were threatened. I couldn't begin to list everything she taught me, but I can share one that I am always trying to pass along to my own kids.
When I was young Gram would stop me before I went out to play to see what I was wearing. If she didn't like it she would tell me, "You're not going outside in those shorts (or top...whatever the clothing item in question was) I'll find you dead in a bush!" If that doesn't scare the crap out of a young girl nothing will. I'll be honest, for years just out of the fear that some killer would be lurking around every bush I was careful about what I wore. As I got older I understood that she had taught me a very important lesson; one that I am trying to teach my own children. Of course I changed the wording some.
The direct message is especially relevant with my daughter. She is going into 5th grade and is starting to be more self aware and media aware. I still control her clothing purchases but that doesn't stop her from trying to hike up, tie up, or roll down her outfits to emulate today's pop teens. My version of my grandmother's wisdom is, "If you don't respect yourself no one will." And unfortunately there are many examples of this on television and in print. These pop teens, who are trying to dress and act like adults are instead attacked and taken advantage of by the media and the public.
The indirect message goes much farther. I try to teach all of my kids how important it is to respect themselves. Their clothing choices are just the beginning. I want them to be aware of how they present themselves to the world and know if it matches with how they want to be seen or if they are just copying what they think will make them popular. Popularity can be a dangerous goal for a child who is still trying to find out who they are and who they want to become.
Don't get me wrong, my kids wear clothes I don't agree with. I believe in letting them find their own style and personality, even if I don't like what they choose. I just remind them that if they are going to wear their jeans halfway down their backsides, boxer briefs blazing, and thick chains around their necks they better understand the message they are sending to the world. But at the same time, I do not allow my daughter and her friends to run around the front yard in their bikinis. Call me over protective; call me a prude, but some lessons are so deeply embedded you have no choice but to pass them on. Is it a little sexist? Yeah, I guess it is. But boys running around shirtless in their swim trunks don't carry the same sexual connotation. If Sport's Illustrated starts publishing a male swimsuit edition I will have to rethink that though.
Thanks for stopping by and giving me a moment to honor someone very special and very missed...my grandmother.
Gram, thanks for your love, smiles, dances, lessons, cakes, kaliloo, patience, flowers, everything purple, support, and for your time. I love you.

Children's Book Review Series: Hoop-la the Hippo by Patti Madison
Hoop-la the Hippo by Patti Madison and illustrated by Niki Vukadinover is a new ebook geared for young children. It has three elements sure to make it a big hit with kids; cute story, important message, and actively involves the reader.
The Story:
Hoop-la the Hippo is worried about his weight. He begins watching what he eats and exercising. Hoop-la quickly becomes obsessed with becoming thinner. One day he realizes that, although he is skinny, he is not happy and he does not feel well either.
The Message:
This is a very cute story for today's children, who are becoming more self aware much younger. It shows that while eating right and exercising help you stay healthy, too much can make you sick. Children need to learn proper nutrition and what are normal amounts of physical activity for their bodies and minds to run their best.
Active Involvement:
Children are given two options with this book; they can choose to read it themselves or have it read to them. When reading it themselves the cursor can be used to point to harder or unknown words and they will be read out loud. This is a great way to promote independence and confidence while building the reader's vocabulary. If the child chooses to have the book read to them they decide when they are ready to move on to the next page and can stop the reader at any time.
Another excellent way this book encourages involvement is by offering a quiz at the end. The child is asked to answer a few questions about the story which test their ability to comprehend and recall events and help them make more meaningful connections with the story. This aspect makes it a great addition to a classroom or home schooling environment, since mastering these skills is a building block to becoming a stronger reader.
Ebooks are becoming more popular with adults on the go. This is also a great format for children, not to replace traditional books but to enhance their reading experiences. They can be enjoyed with parents or alone if the parents are juggling other household or work responsibilities. The hands on active involvement make these ebooks feel more like a video game to young children. They will want to read the stories over and over.
You and your child can preview and purchase Hoop-la the Hippo and other popular ebooks by going to http://www.wizz-e.com .
Are your children reading ebooks already? Tell me what your family or students think of them? Let me know what you think of Hoop-la the Hippo and the other unique stories on the website.

Now for a little comic relief...
An elementary school class started a class project to make planters to take home to their parents. They wanted to have a plant in it that was easy to take care of, so they decided to use cactus plants. The students were given green-ware pottery planters in the shape of clowns which they painted with glaze. The clown planters were professionally fired at a class outing so they could see the process. It was great fun! They planted cactus seeds in the finished planters and they grew nicely, but unfortunately, the children were not allowed to take them home. The cactus plants were removed and small ivy replaced them and the children were then allowed to take them home instead.

Children's Book Review Series
City of Hamburgers by Mike Reiss and illustrated by Xeth Feinberg is sure to spark the imagination and the appetite.
It's bedtime for Jeffrey, which means it's also time for another one of Grandma Greta's stories. Jeffrey loved his grandma, but did not want to hear another story about fairies, princesses, slippers, and kisses.
A conversation about Grandma Greta's unique accent leads to a new story; the true story of her childhood in Hamburg, Germany. As she shares what life was like for her and her fellow Hamburgers, Jeffrey's imagination creates a humorous view. When she tells how she met his grandfather who was from Frankfurt, Germany, Jeffrey pictures her (a Hamburger) and him ( a Frankfurter) getting married. Now Jeffrey can not wait for Grandma Greta to tell the next "real life" story.
This is a cute book that shows two very different point of views of the same story. Children of all ages will be laughing at how Jeffrey visualizes his grandmother's story of growing up in Germany. Many adults may recognize the author Mike Reiss as the longtime writer of The Simpsons and as contributing writer for some popular children's movies; Ice Age (1 & 2), Horton Hears a Who to name a few.
For more information or to purchase City of Hamburgers by Mike Reiss please follow any of the following links.
My kids and I were laughing out loud reading this book. I would love to hear what you think of it. If you have or plan to purchase City of Hamburgers tell me about it.

Last week I answered some of your questions (emailed to me firstname.lastname@example.com). I got a great response, thank you! I am happy that my answers helped. I did receive a few more questions, via Facebook, and thought I would answer them this week. Here we go:
Q: I work in a professional industry, and in one of my last jobs, my direct supervisor sabotaged my work and used "poor work quality" to terminate me 6 months later. What should I have done and can I prevent this from happening again?
A: This is a tricky situation. In certain instances, you can confront him her/him in non-threatening way by simply having a conversation with her/him about the quality of your work, or ask for a mini-review. If s/he is hostile to this, make a note of it, and write a "memo" to the HR director explaining the situation and how it is making you feel. Be prepare to have a meeting with Human Resources afterwards.
If your boss is directly abusive or threatening you, put the problem in writing and then report it directly to your HR manager. It may be that this supervisor has a history of this type of behaviour. The one thing to keep in mind is that you do have rights, and you need to keep a careful record of any and all instances that you feel are treated with hostility.
Finally, if it is so egregious, you may have a case for wrongful termination. If you think you do, contact an employment lawyer.
To prevent this from happening again, do research about the company and managers before you accept the offer. Two ways to get inside info is through Linked In; try to connect with current or former employees and ask about the culture and managers/management styles. The other great site to get insider info is glassdoor.com. They have candid reviews and ratings from current and ex-employees for hundreds of companies worldwide.
Q. I was fired from my last two jobs, one was 6 months and the other was 3 months of employment. Neither jobs were a good fit, so should I leave them off my résumé? If I do, I'll have a 9 month gap. Please help!
A. It is so easy for potential employers to investigate you, you should not lie via omission. However, it the jobs are not relevant to the job you are applying to, you can leave it off and use a line such as: "Mar-Dec 2010 – Employed in a different indstry". If you are seeking work in the same industry, include the jobs on the résumé, and even list one or two accomplishments. Even though your tenure was brief at both places, you did learn and contribute. Be prepared to address the short stints in a cover letter or interview. As a former HR Manager, I was fine with an explaination like "those jobs were not good fits for either party, and it was better to separate sooner than later. However short the time was, I did contribute to the firm (give an example), and continue honing my expertise. I am excited to interview with you, as I feel I am a good fit for this firm."
Q. Since the Great Recession really affected my profession, I went back to school and got a Master's in another field. How do I present this on my résumé?
A. You must highlight your "transferable skill sets". Those are the skills and experiences that can be an asset in your new career field. Often, those skills are management, communication, leadership, mentoring, supervising, training, etc. Those are "soft" or "people" skills and competencies, and they are transferable because they involve core or intrinsic skills related to working with people. Use a "Key Areas of Expertise" section to list those skills that transfer to your new career.
Also, you might include a brief description in your cover letter to explain your career change. Try something like: "during the past few years, I have taken the time to return to school to gain a new career in XYZ. I felt this was a natural extension of my existing experiences and background, and a far more productive use of my time than waiting for my old career to bounce back".
I hope that helps. Do you have a career question? Email me at email@example.com.

Bad tech habits and how to stop
Pocket-sized computers, worldwide communication, instant access to any factoid, and more cat videos than you can watch in a lifetime - no one predicted today's digital life even a few decades ago. Unfortunately, these marvels have turned far too many of us into generally impolite and downright rude individuals.
Let's start with….
The dinner sinner
These are the people who, while eating with others, shut out the rest of the world, including loved ones. You've seen them. Families sitting in restaurants, each with their respective screens illuminating expressionless faces. No one is talking. But there's a lot of texting, gaming and Facebook going on.
Instead, make the dinner table a gadget-free zone. It's easy when you make it a game. It's even better when there's money involved.
Ask each person to hold up his or her phone. Then, each person must place the phone in front of his or her place setting with one caveat. The phone has to be placed face down. The first person that picks up a phone during dinner pays the entire bill. It's amazing how much better the conversation is and who's willing to pay big money to see who sent a text message.
The public restroom talker
It's OK when you're at home but when you're in a public restroom, resist the urge to hold a full conversation in the stall. You're just too loud. You probably don't notice that your voice reverberates off the tiles.
Don't think for a moment that texting is permitted either. If there's any sort of line, be courteous. Get in, do your thing, wash your hands and leave.
I have a friend who has a solution for people talking on the phone in public bathrooms. He has a fart app on his smartphone. Yes, it's an app that can make all sorts of vile sounds. He turns up his phone's volume and he starts triggering the app until the person hangs up and leaves.
I never said it was a mature solution.
The ear whisperer
Earbuds and headphones are a do not disturb sign that tells the world you just don't want to be bothered. I get that. But when the person trying to talk to you is your co-worker, friend, family member or someone in a position of authority, can you please remove your earbuds or headphones? I know you can hit pause and this silences things on your end. Still, I would rather know for sure that I have your complete attention.
The loud ones
Ringtones, text alerts, and mail notifications do not have to be set at full volume. Ditto for when you lose at Candy Crush.
And if you're going to share a movie's dialogue, turn the screen so everyone can watch. Better yet, turn down the volume until you throw on a pair of headphones.
Also, if you have the volume on your headphones up loud enough so other people can hear it, they're too loud. Not only is it annoying people, it's damaging your hearing. Do everyone - including yourself - a favor and bring it down to a polite level.
The texter
If you're running into poles, tripping off sidewalks and slamming into other people when you walk, you're probably trying to text at the same time. Stop - especially if you're headed my way.
You also never text while driving. It's a quick way to kill yourself and plenty of other people. If you know someone who texts and drives, send them this sobering documentary from Werner Herzog and maybe they'll get the picture.
And for the more than 11 percent of you who think it's OK to text during sex, that's just wrong.
The selfie
The only person who wants three selfies a day of you is your mom. We already know what you look like; show us what you're looking at. Even better, put down the camera and just enjoy the scenery.
Even more sins to squash
I've got plenty of great tech manners advice that you really need to follow. Click here to read my 10 Commandments for Mobile Manners or print out the poster to hang up in your home or office.
Be sure to share this list with your family, friends or any other tech users you know so we can make the tech world a better place.

Toyota chief apologises for flaws leading to car recallsJanuary 30th, 2010 - 3:17 pm ICT by IANS
Tokyo, Jan 30 (DPA) The chief of Toyota Motor Corp has apologised for accelerator pedal flaws forcing the recall of millions of cars in North America, China and Europe.
Akio Toyoda, the reclusive president and chief executive officer of Toyota, apologised for the manufacturing flaws in brief comments made to Japanese broadcaster NHK at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Friday.
"We are very sorry to have made our customers uneasy. We are now working to grasp the facts so that we can deliver an explanation as quickly as possible to alleviate our customers' concerns," he said.
A personal statement of contrition by a major Japanese business executive is rare. Analysts said the top automaker is facing a major blow to its reputation for reliable manufacturing.
Toyota had earlier announced the recall of nearly three million vehicles in North America, and on Friday said it would recall 1.8 million cars in Europe. The total number of cars affected by faulty accelerators or floor mats could reach more than seven million, industry analysts said.
Toyota Motor Europe said eight models produced between November 2005 and September 2009, including the best-selling Yaris, were subject to recall.

Five angles to watch at the PGA Championship on Sunday
We've got just one day of major season left in 2017, and our list of potential challengers has narrowed from 156 to just a handful. As you prepare for the last day of the PGA Championship, here's what you need to know. Enjoy Sunday; it's a long, long way 'til the Masters next April.
Kevin Kisner was in charge until …
Kisner spent the morning before his Saturday tee time making blanket-and-cushion forts with his daughter, which seems like a pretty solid way to kill some time. He continued his ho-hum first-time-in-contention-at-a-major experience with a solid 15 holes, working himself all the way to 10-under. And then … he yanked his approach on 16 into the water, had his bogey putt ring out and then … bogeyed 18 and just like that a three-stroke lead over the field was down to one over Hideki Matsuyama and Chris Stroud.
What was Jason Day thinking?
Having birdied his way back into contention, former world No. 1 Jason Day went to the 18th within four strokes of the lead and riding some momentum. Then he hit his drive into the trees and here's where it got perplexing. Instead of chipping out into the fairway and taking his lumps, Day decided on an impossible hook shot that, presumably would have gone … we're not exactly sure where, because in between him and the green was a virtual forest and directly in front of his ball was another tree preventing anything close to a full swing. Predictably, the shot didn't work, landing behind a bush, forcing him to take a penalty. Nick Faldo, commentating on CBS, called it "one of the worst decisions I've seen a professional golfer make." The result: a quadruple bogey that put him all the way back to even and essentially took Day out of contention for the tournament.
Stroud's story
If you're looking for one of those underdog-made-good tales, you can do worse than Chris Stroud, a guy who had played in 289 PGA Tour events before winning last week for the first time. That got him entry into this year's PGA Championship, the first major he'd played in since the 2014 PGA, and all he's done is vault right to the top of the leaderboard. Now he's just one stroke back of the lead. A high finish this weekend will get him into quite a few more majors next season, and a win would get him an invite to the PGA for the rest of his career.
Matsuyama's time?
Hideki Matsuyama has spent most of the last couple years dueling with Rickie Fowler for the title of "best player not to win a major." While Fowler looked to make a run on Saturday only to have his round go slightly south when he hit it in the drink on 17, Matsuyama remains in striking distance despite a 2-over 73 Round 3. He's won five times in the last year, most recently at the WGC-Bridgestone last week, where he carded a course-record 61 to close out the day. He's got exactly the kind of game to take home a major, and this could well be the time.
Grand Slam watch: Done till 2018
Jordan Spieth came rolling into the PGA Championship with only one leg of the career Grand Slam remaining. He'll leave Quail Hollow the same way, never able to get his game on track at Quail Hollow. "The PGA Championship, I think, is going to be the toughest for me," Spieth said after his Saturday round left him at 3-over. "If we look historically back on my career, I think I will play this tournament worse than the other three majors just in the way that it's set up. I feel like my game truly suits the other three majors maybe more than a PGA Championship. But I believe we can play anywhere and can win anywhere. It's just a matter of having everything in sync at the right time."

8 ways I've used Jonathan's Law of Defaults
I owe much of my success in life to something I call my Law of Defaults. It's really more a guideline than a law, and I haven't decided exactly how to state it yet, but here's the rough idea:
"When you're not sure what to do, default to doing what someone older than you would probably wish they had done."
Here are some examples:
"When you're not sure what to do, default to doing what someone older than you would probably wish they had done."
Here are some examples:
- Started my 401(k) when I was 19.
Yes, I have 10 year's of retirement savings before my 30th birthday. It was nerdy when I started it and it's nerdy now, but I projected forward 50 years and tried to guess which statement would more likely be running through my head: "I wish I had saved more money" or "I wish I had spent all my money when I earned it." Since that 7% of my salary wasn't going to make a big difference in my day to day life I defaulted to saving.
I read somewhere that the single largest reason people don't save money is that they fail to set up the mechanics. They have the money, intention, knowledge, and ability to save, but they don't spend the 20 minutes to set up the automatic deduction.
- Bought the maximum of every stock option or employee stock purchase program I could.
This is another financial one that has treated me well. I always default to buying the maximum allowed. This one is a little funny because I also sell all the stock options the minute they vest -- I think my future-self would be pissed about having gained money then lost it by holding an individual stock for too long.
- Stayed at Yahoo when I could have gone to Google.
I have to include one sad story to show that The Law doesn't always work out: when I had the option to switch from Yahoo to Google I stayed with my Default, Yahoo, because they seemed about equal and I thought it better to continue on one track rather than switching for no good reason. That decision probably cost me a million dollars, but what are you gonna do? Gotta have a system.
- Worked all summer even though i didn't feel like it.
A few months ago I didn't know what I wanted to do next and didn't really feel like doing anything (I think they call that "depression") so I defaulted to working. Now I'm still not sure exactly what to do next, but I'm not depressed, I met some cool people and did some decent projects, and I still have money in my bank account.
- Didn't drink or do drugs as a teenager.
It's true, I didn't drink until my 21st birthday. I wasn't specifically against it, but I figured that future me would probably prefer less brain destruction and stupid behavior rather than more. I sometimes feel like I missed out on a part of my youth, but I have plenty of time to drink and act stupid as an adult, which is probably more fun any
- Didn't do anything that would look bad in a political campaign attack ad.I used to aim for President, hence the no drugs, but now I just aim for mayor of San Francisco, which is much more forgiving. Still, there is no video of me naked, no shady financial dealings, not secret support for terrorist organizations. Because you never know when you're going to want to run for mayor, and why ruin your chances when all other things are equal?
(Luckily we now have Arnold and GWB to lower the bar for political office, so I'm free to do nearly anything.)
- Assumed all of my emails would be released publicly.
I know that data lives forever, and that nothing is secure, so I always default to writing email as if everyone I discuss is CC'd. It encourages politeness as well as assuring that no mean/rude/libelous emails surface and hurt me in the future. Don't get me wrong, I'll talk some serious shit in person, just not via email. I'm sure if future me had some relationship ruined or business deal go bad because an old electronic communication surfaced I'd be pissed at past me, so why risk it.
- Took risks.
One might read my Law of Defaults and think that it would make me a boring, overly cautious person. But I think the main thing future me will want is a history full of risk and adventure. I took some smart risks, like dropping out of college and quitting a well paid job to start a company with no business plan. There are more risks that I could tell you about, but writing it here would give too much fodder to my political opponents. You'll have to ask me in person. :)

Nicole Scherzinger See Thru To Boobs At The Pre-GRAMMY Gala In Beverly Hills
- 7001
- No comments
The Grammy Awards are here! Hooray! For me it is always a reason for joy because there are a lot of hotties dressing up. And from all the stars, the singers wear the craziest outfits! Of course Nicole Scherzinger doesn't disappoint ever, but she really took it up a notch at the Pre-GRAMMY Gala in Beverly Hills. She chose a really sexy, see through dress to show her hot body. And apart from the dress she wore no bra, so when I say see thru, I really mean it! Just check out the pics!
You'll lay eyes on the most gorgeous pair of boobs in the industry, with cherries on top… uh, nipples! Yes, her nips are piercing the mesh see thru material. And that only makes her look even more badass, braless and badass! See what I mean by looking at her smug, sexy face! She oouzes sex in this dress and is not afraid to linger in front of the cameras so we can enjoy her…and ourselves…Enjoy!

SeaFood Business is the global trusted authority for seafood buyers and sellers. We are the seafood industry's leading trade magazine with more than 30 years of experience. Our coverage is based on the "business" of buying and selling seafood.
Issue link: https://seafoodbusiness.epubxp.com/i/123787
Net Working "The various NGOs are not so much competing with each other but for the people who fund them. Whatever the agenda of the foundation they're trying to get funding from, that's what they're keying off in their message to suppliers." Photo courtesy of Encore Associates Phil Gibson Senior VP, Encore Associates San Ramon, Calif. By James WriGhT P hil Gibson knows the seafood supply chain from one end to the other. Born in Seattle but raised in Juneau, Alaska, Gibson did a lot of fshing in his youth, working as a deckhand on a power trawler, a longline halibut boat and a sockeye salmon gillnetter. He was also a meat cutter at Super Bear Supermarkets as a teenager, years before embarking on a long career in seafood at supermarket chain Safeway, the third-largest U.S. supermarket chain. Over the course of 22 years, Gibson's leadership in the seafood category pushed the chain ahead of the pack in terms of environmental awareness: Seafood Choices Alliance named him a Seafood Champion in 2011, an honor he calls "humbling." As group director of corporate seafood for Safeway from 2006 to 2013, Gibson was responsible for the fnancial management, promotional planning and sales strategy for more than 1,000 stores. He oversaw an ofce of 13 people with liaison to more than 100 feld personnel. Now, as senior VP of Encore Associates in San Ramon, Calif., he will put all his knowledge to use as a consultant to ambitious seafood suppliers and retailers hoping to make sense of sustainable seafood sourcing policies and interactions with non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Gibson, 61, whose frst name is actually Bryan, is father to fve and grandfather to six. Te slightly slower pace at his new gig ("juggling two to three balls at a time, instead of six or seven") allows him to spend more time with them. What accomplishments during your time at safeway are you proudest of? First would be the development of the Waterfront Bistro private-label line that I brainstormed, developed and made into a $100 million business. Tere's no national seafood brand, so we took advantage by developing an in-house brand and putting a wide range of products under the label with vendor partners like Trident Seafoods, Lusamerica and Aqua Star. And in the shrimp line, we had a deep relationship with Eastern Fish Co., Red Chamber and Chicken of the Sea. Also, I'd say the development and implementation of the sustainable seafood policy. It took a number of years; I started down the path in 2007. We thought we could internally develop a good policy, but found out in short order that was not true. In 2010 I formed a partnership with FishWise in Santa Cruz. Te reason we chose them was they didn't have an eco-label and they 48 SeaFood Business May 2013 were really trying to improve the performance of sustainable sourcing. No agenda, per se, except they used the red-yellow-green system of the Seafood Watch program as a guide. Teir bent is to improve fsheries broadly and not punish fsheries that aren't quite there yet. Philosophically, that's how the supply side of the industry feels. Do NGOs compete for retailers' consulting business? It is very competitive. Te problem with that whole business is the various NGOs are not so much competing with each other but for the people who fund them — Pew Charitable Trusts, David Suzuki. Whatever the agenda of the foundation they're trying to get funding from, that's what they're keying of in their message to suppliers. Tey have to have the same philosophy. World Wildlife Fund, SeaChoice and even FishWise get a majority of their funds from these foundations. It behooves them to be efective at pushing their agenda forward. In full disclosure, I'm working with FishWise as an advisor to help them expand their work. What does your role at encore entail? A lot of what Encore does is brokerage and category management. My role is on the consulting side, working with suppliers to build their own internal sustainability programs, helping them to make sense of it. Tey have to supply products to a range of companies, and those companies have NGO partners that are pushing them in one direction or another. Consequently, the supplier is trying to please a range of people with conficting programs. I've got a couple of companies I'm working with now that want me to organize, internally, their sourcing program to say confdently, "Tis is what we're doing, why we're doing it, and that it's getting done the right way."

The Modern Age
The start of The Modern Age was marked by the beginning of communications between cities. With the lessening threat of monster attacks, people who previously thought they were isolated were able venture out and find each other. Trade and messenger routs were set up, and a governing body known as The Council came to be. Old records that were being held by individual cities were replicated and shared, uncovering events of the past. An attempt was made to contact the old trade partners mentioned in the records of The Golden Age, but none of the ships sent out ever returned and it was deemed pointless to continue trying. Despite its isolation, Inretio was thriving. The continent contained everything necessary to sustain its people, and the discovery of other cities greatly raised morale. However, The Great War soon shattered hopes once again. The Major Cities that survived the war are the same that exist now. Several cities had been destroyed, and those that did survive only did so because of the quick thinking and strong guidance of their local generals. People eventually returned to their daily lives, but there was and still is much worry that the monsters will some day return and finish the job.

I promised myself that we would make this party super simple and low cost since we are between houses, are saving money, and were having my in-laws host. Of course "keeping it simple" isn't actually in my vocabulary though so I went a little crazy as per usual ;-)
Penny loved the princesses and balloons, but got super shy when all of her guests arrived. She spent the majority of the party hiding behind the shed, insisting that mommy or daddy hold her, or covering her eyes with her hands. We didn't sing happy birthday or blow out candles because we knew she would not deal well with the attention, and gifts were opened facing mommy on her lap so that she couldn't see everyone watching her. It still was a great party though and we loved getting to see all of our family and friends celebrate this amazing two year old!
Please excuse all of the hoses, grills, and other misc in the background.
The cupcakes were made by my mother-in-law and decorated by yours truly. We got a cream cheese frosting and separated them out into 6 bowls to dye the frosting with food coloring to match each respective princess's dress. We decorated the top to look like a skirt, printed off the top half of Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White, Ariel, Rapunzel, and Belle, tapped them onto a lollipop stick, and stuck them in. Easy enough and super cute!
Every good tea party needs some finger sandwiches. We went with PB&J, egg salad, and ham and cheese for a nice variety.
We also dipped some strawberry wafer cookies in almond bark and sprinkled with gold sprinkles for the centerpieces. Unfortunately we didn't get a good picture of those but they were simple, adorable, and delicious!
And now for some general party pics. Notice how enthused Penny seems about all the attention ;-) Love this girl, though! She's too dang sweet for her own good!

Home Insurance. Thursday , March 01st , 2018 - 16:03:19 PM
It's human nature to become accustomed to watches and warnings if you live in an area that experiences such warnings every year. Resist the tendency to take these too lightly. Every storm is different, and a complex number of factors can either increase or decrease any storm's intensity quickly. Review the experiences of others to see how your carrier handled similar claims in the past, and above all, stay safe.
In a year that's brought potentially unprecedented damage across the United States from natural disasters, consumers surveyed by Clearsurance said they were concerned a natural disaster could also cause damage to their own home. Yet despite 87 percent of respondents expressing concern, very few took action by enhancing their existing insurance policy or purchasing a new one.
The rapid adoption of Wi-Fi enabled devices has allowed for an increase in what are called "non-monitored" systems. These are security systems that are set up in a home, but are not connected to an alarm company. While these types of systems do offer an additional level of home protection, they might not qualify for a discount on homeowners or renters insurance premiums. Check with your agent or carrier to find out more about what types of home security system installations might qualify for a discount.

Out this week: Need for Speed Payback, Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds, Super Lucky's Tale, Sonic Forces, more
In an ideal world, the Xbox One X would've made its debut this week alongside the system showcase Crackdown 3. With MS's open-world shooter delayed until 2018 however, the Xbox One 2.0 launches with Super Lucky's Tale…a mediocre, budget-priced, platformer.
Sonic Forces hasn't gained favourable reviews either. While not a travesty of Sonic '06 proportions, the abundance of 5/10 reviews suggest that it too is average at best.
EA's Need for Speed series also makes a return this week, while Horizon Zero Dawn receives the eagerly awaited The Frozen Wilds DLC. Max: The Curse of Brotherhood makes the jump from Xbox to PlayStation meanwhile. This physics-based puzzle/platformer was an Xbox One 'launch period' title, and it isn't too shabby. Not a classic, but pleasant enough.
Then on the Switch there's a choice of two new titles – DOOM and Ben 10. A tough choice. You may want to sit down, have a cup of tea, and mull it over before picking one.
New release showcase:
Need for Speed Payback – PS4/XO/PC
From the moment it was revealed, Need for Speed Payback looked far more promising than the last NFS entry. The Fast & Furious series is the obvious inspiration here, but rather than having a story worthy of the silver screen it's more of a 'straight to DVD' affair.
With reports of Project CARS creators Slight Mad Studio acquiring the Fast & Furious license, you may want to wait for a genuine slice of Vin Diesel pie.
8.0 – PlayStation Lifestyle: "While I finished the story in around 15 hours, it's worth noting that there are a ton of side events and collectibles that I failed to collect in that time. I could see myself easily doubling my time within Payback, and do so with a smile on my face the entire time"
3.5/5 – GamesRadar: "Need for Speed Payback successfully returns to its Fast and Furious roots with aplomb, but a focus on the grind and a beautiful but empty world means it ultimately falls short of greatness"
5/10 – GameSpot: "The simple, almost retro, handling model provides occasional bouts of fun, but it's never enough to escape Payback's flaws, with an unwillingness to let you partake in its most hair-raising moments, and a general drabness that seeps into every layer of the game. Fast and Furious, this is not; and that's a disappointing outcome"
Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds – PS4
Just like the full game, review scores for Horizon Zero Dawn's anticipated The Frozen Wilds DLC are a tad mixed. That's to say, for every 10/10 or 9/10 there's a 7/10 lurking.
There's no debating that it isn't a sizeable package – a huge dollop of extra content that'll take a fair while to play through. Around 15 hours is the reported amount, but don't expect the faults from the original to be fixed – it's very much a case of more of the same, only in a new snow-covered setting.
10/10 – PlayStation Lifestyle: "Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds is everything DLC is supposed to be. For only $19.99 ($14.99 if you're on PlayStation Plus), the wonderful playground we last saw Aloy in is expanded by an impressively large, immaculately detailed, diverse landscape"
9/10 – God is a Geek: "It's a fantastic piece of DLC, and it's much more than a few hours of content. The new location is visually stunning, and the gameplay has been expanded through the way you vary combat against the new beasts, and tweaking your skills to incorporate the new skill tree"
7/10 – The Metro: "A generous expansion that through its stunning visuals and inspired creature design showcases the best features of the original, even if it doesn't fix many of its flaws"
Super Lucky's Tale – XO
With Rare busy with Sea of Thieves, Microsoft has turned to Playful to create a family-friendly title to bolster the Xbox One's winter line-up. It isn't an entirely new game – the original Lucky's Tale launched on PC in 2016.
The original arrived to mixed reviews, and it seems to be a case of twice unlucky for the plucky fox. A camera system that doesn't provide full control and clunky controls drag down the experience. Stick with Yooka-Laylee.
7/10 – God is a Geek: It's not going to break records, and it might not set the world alight, but it's fun, easy to play, and great to pop on with the family and spend a rainy Sunday afternoon with
6/10 – GameSpot: . It's easy to imagine how Super Lucky's Tale would be the highlight of a younger kid's weekend, but it has little to offer anyone looking for an enjoyably challenging 3D platformer.
5.0 – IGN: Poor controls and a lousy camera doom the otherwise adorable-critter platformer Super Lucky's Tale.
Sonic Forces – PS4/XO/Switch
Despite what many say, Sonic can work in 3D – Generations and Colors [sic] both proved this. Alas, this only makes it more disheartening to hear that Sonic Forces' main issues are things SEGA should have noticed, such as dull level design and an awkward storytelling method. Oh, SEGA.
5.5 – Destructoid: "While I see potential in Sonic Forces, the execution just isn't there, especially with the Switch edition. In the future I really hope Sega reinvents the wheel, taking a more Mario Odyssey adventure approach. The whole level-based 3D "thing" hasn't worked out so frequently that it's worth a shot"
2.5/5 – Trusted Reviews: "Like Sonic? Play Sonic Mania. Played Sonic Mania? Play it some more. While Sonic Forces looks fantastic, it's one of the least engaging games in the entire series"
4/10 – The Metro: "Whoever this shoddily made platformer is meant to please it won't be those that like Sonic Mania, or any of the better 3D Sonic games"

Alright, I've been a little slow in posting this one. This was actually a Father's Day gift for my father in law. The little man loves to help in the kitchen, so I knew a homemade barbeque sauce would be something fun we could make together.
2 cups ketchup
1 cup water
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon ground mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, for 1 hour 15 minutes.
Modified from Food Network
The little man totally loved making this. We measured everything out and dumped it in the bowl together. He's becoming quite the mixer. I put the sauce in a mason jar and made a little tag for it.
Then, I had the little man paint the BBQ brush too. I taped off the brush so that didn't get paint on it, and I let him do his thing. He was quite proud of his work. And Grandpa loved it! 🙂

E. coli bacteria found in City of Poughkeepsie water
Bring tap water to a rolling boil, boil for one minute, and cool before using. Or use bottled water certified for sale by the New York State Department of Health. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth, and preparing food until further notice.
This Boil Water Notice applies to all customers in the City of Poughkeepsie.
What Happened ?
E. coli bacteria were found in the drinking water sample on Monday, July 8, 2013. The New York State Department of Health considers any confirmed E. coli positive sample as a public health hazard and a violation of drinking water standards.
The presence of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or animal wastes. Harmful microbes in these wastes, including E. coli, can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms. These may pose a special health risk for infants, some elderly, and people with severely compromised immune systems. But these symptoms are not just caused by harmful microbes in drinking water. If you experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you should seek medical advice.
What is being done ?
The City of Poughkeepsie has conducted major flushing to move freshly chlorinated water through the City water distribution system. Sampling is being conducted to lift this notice. All sample data will be reported to the Dutchess County Department of Health.
It is likely that you will need to boil water for the next 2-3 days until the problem is fixed. You will be informed when tests show that you no longer need to boil your water.
For more information, please contact:
The City of Poughkeepsie at (845) 451-4170
or the Dutchess County Department of Health at (845) 486-3404.
Please share this information with other people who drink this water, especially anyone who may not get this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses).
You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.

Some days I just don't know whether to laugh or cry when I'm exposed to right-wing rhetoric on social networking sites. If there is one truly altruistic thing the Internet has given us it's the daily exposure to just how far over the backside of reality the Republicans in this country have let their fringe elements take them. When you combine the fact that we're a nation built on freedom of expression and thought with the Internet you can find yourself down the rabbit hole of TEApublican propaganda pretty easily. Recently I was clued into a couple of really entertaining items from Teabaggistan, and I felt the need to share them with everyone.
First up, we have the folks at "Overpasses for Obama's Impeachment." You can find their Facebook page here if you want to see some of the most cringe-inducing propaganda about Ben Gozzi (seriously, I saw something that said "Remember Benghazi" as if it's the goddamned Alamo or something) or more lies about IRS targeting or birth certificate falsification. You can just scroll down the page and find real gems like the meme that has a picture of Obama on it and the words, "We no longer want your resignation, we want you imprisoned!"
Look at these "brave patriots!"
All four of them! LOL!
Delusions of grandeur? There are more signs than participants! LOL!
What reality do these people enjoy? They are the ones who voted twice to put into office NeoCons who spilled blood and treasure all over the map in wars that the American people by and large feel were not worth the price we paid. I feel deep-down to the core of my being that Dick Cheney and George W. Bush are heartless, war mongering profiteers that lied through their teeth to get the world to sign-off on the Iraqi invasion they'd been spoiling for since they took office. If anyone needed to be brought up on some kind of criminal charges it was the people who willfully put our young men and women — my contemporaries and peers — into the meat grinder based on lies, lies and more damnable lies.
What I find particularly amusing though is the fact that they're resorting to ripping off the Overpass Light Brigade — a group of liberals in Wisconsin who began stringing up messages in lights on their states overpasses. The messages at first were in support of recalling Governor Scott Walker, and even though the recall effort stalled, Overpass Light Brigade has continued to rig up their progressive messages, becoming quite an Internet sensation. I guess since Obama lifted the idea for the Affordable Care Act from the Republicans and Mitt Romney, it's only fair that TEApublicans steal this idea from liberals.
Next we have our friends at Tea Party Conservatives of America. I admit I don't really frequent that page at all, but it was brought to my attention thanks to a meme that was inboxed to me and it just made my toes curl. It's an image of a painting that depicts Christ's second coming (White Christ of course, not Historically and/or Genealogically Correct Christ), apparently on a battle field chock-full of soldiers from all eras of human life with the caption "Every Knee Will Bow; Romans 14:11."
I've got to be brutally honest here. I was exposed regularly for a good part of my childhood to Christendom and their texts. I get the reference, and I understand what the Bible verse's meaning is, but in typical TEApublican fashion, they muddle everything up with their message. Why is Jesus on the world's most historical battlefield? Also, are they saying that Jesus has the powers of time travel? If that's the case, couldn't he just go back in time and stop all the wars and famine? Why would he choose instead to come back, go back in time and bring a bunch of long-dead solders back with him?
The reason I'm even talking about this confounding meme is that it illustrates perfectly why I bristle every time someone injects their religion into political issues. I acknowledge that for some there is no disconnection between political ideology and religious dogma. That's their right as free-willed human beings living in our free society. I just wish they understood how many people don't want them using their religion as a cudgel, bashing minorities and members of the LGBT community and using God as their reference point and excuse for doing so. No this meme doesn't represent that, but it reminds me just how far into Stupid Land you can travel when you think God's on your side.
There is a Facebook page dedicated solely to debunking the Tea Party Conservatives Of America page, as well as a local right-wing talk radio program. To visit that site CLICK HERE!

See all the bloopers of the politicians who said "I did not said that, I did not said this" and fully exposed the next instant by concrete evidence that they said so.
Sometimes I wonder why these jokers sweared in Court to tell the TRUTHS and nothing but the TRUTHS and yet they gave false evidences.
Why need liars,oops lawyers when everybody in Court tells the TRUTHS. ???
It makes the Jobs of the Judges easier.

I wouldn't worry too much about what "editorial" comes out of the likes of The Global Times. 😂 It is probably staffed by a slew of small-dick-penis-envy angry orientals, all with bad-attitudes toward anything non China-Chinese.
If you or your cuntry hasn't been insulted by The Global Times then you or your cuntry is probably unimportant and unimpressive.
There's no storm brewing lah. It is obvious the global times just wants to poke trouble, because no one has the BALLS to directly criticise Singapore for being a US ally and partner

Reply by Hu Xilin, Editor of G;obal Times in ST today. Its report was based on 'real situation' and from serious and reliable sources. 'Singapore has gone too far on the South China Seas issue and has consciously or sub consciously taken sides', being among the very small number of Asean nations that have actively promoted the South China Sea arbitration...Singapore is siding more openly with the US and Japan on the South China Sea issue...
Global Times is the source for China to show its displeasure without making it an official position. When this happened, it is China saying it is unhappy with Singapore.
- September 28, 2016 10:26 am
Don't worry. We have Japan and USA supporting us . The PM has been honored with a State Dinner and in Japan
The Emperor has also to meet our little emperor with a lunch? Which Head in ASEAN has it. we must be special.
Our relation with the Nips dates back back to WW2 where our ex president and ex pm are Japan's good friends.

If Singapore leaders want to die, let them go to the front line and die fighting China in the South China Sea. They have no right to involve all innocent Singaporeans in their siding with USA and Japan against China. What's the use of Stanley Loh denying when all actions and utterances by Singapore politicians both past and present have always been clearly anti China and pro USA and Japanese. Even Singapore henchmen the so called political analysts and strategic studies intellectuals have always toed thee leader's line to always demand that China must accept the fake , illicit and bogus South China Sea tribunal ruling. They also openly support the thieving of Chinese lands and islands by Vietnam and the Philippines. Singapore politicians and its stooges and henchmen are a disgusting lot. Chinese citizens in China are very angry with Singapore for allowing USA to operate its military in Singapore to target against China. They are asking if Singapore wants to offer itself as a target for a Chinese nuclear bomb. If Singapore leaders want to die, let them go and die themselves. They have no right to drag ordinary innocent Singaporeans along.

What if the Global times editors are supporters of the Old Jiang regime (promoted then) who is trying to stir shit within the new Xi era?
What good does China people gain by pushing another SEA member and vital member of the malacca straits to be 100% ally of US, Japan etc and to turn against China. Last thing Xi want is another fuck diplomatic problem after SK and Pinoy. Xi's 1B1R is futher and further away from objective.
So sometimes people need to know how China politics works and what is the current situation in Xi's political scene. But have to ask, Xi's anti corruption drive is really good or no good for china?
- September 29, 2016 12:55 pm
Time is moving fast and Xi is in "power" for some time.
The longer he takes to exterminate all his internal enemy, there will be more problems surfacing.
Sad to say, his job is a shitty one and he needs to be ruthless and cannot be half hearted.
Throughout China history and history worldwide, People in his shoes either killed all his enemies and their families roots or he himself and family stands to be eliminated.
Hu Jintao taking over Jiang then was a puppet then and does not have control over PLA. He and his family were in danger if they oppose Jiang faction. There is no such thing as No.2.
Either you are on the boat or you are not. If you are obedient, you will be given bones.
What Xi is doing now is to tear the face of harmony and wage anti corruption war on this people. It is all about money.
For eg, under the old group of PLA procurement officers in charge. The rise in military budget on the theme of modernizing PLA hardware in fact bring more opportunities for corrupt officers to share. Leading the China people in believing that all their money are well spent.
This Global times Chief editor Hu Xiling was formely a PLA officer......

- September 29, 2016 7:52 pm
@ Anon 7:52 pm
Learn or no learn any lesson from Tsai.
You got to respect the Taiwanese People's choice whether you like it or not.
This popularity thing is a democracy product which is telling the leader he or she is still under the system (will of the people - who is still the boss at the end of the day) even after getting elected. He or She is still accountable to the people and system (rules).
Can the same thing be said for China leader or system?
Whether any trillion dollar is missing the US system will be subjected to the accountability under the system. The people will get the chance to vote whether they accept the explanation or do not accept.
In US, even a simple presidential party candidate nominee need to be elected?
Can the same thing be said for China system?
The point here is who should be the one making the choice?
This is the reason why the small Shit in HK (occupy central) and Taiwan election (Not only the presidential one but rather fight between DPP & KMT) become a MEGA shit.
A lot of people (like you) including China leaders do not understand the real reason behind why the shit is happening and snowballed to become a giant one. And thus cannot address the problem and the tide.

Zig-Zag Ripple Rabbit Vibrator with Bendable Body
The only thing I need
Reviewed: 10 October 2017 by Vickie9o, a Straight Engaged Female
This vibrator actually makes me laugh, in a good way.
I ordered this bendy guy in the 2 for £30 deal last week and was eager to try it.
The first thing I noticed is it starts of at full power, 3, which I was not expecting. It then goes down in speed 2 then 1 and has 7 patterns each with different speeds. I personally find this rather annoying as I like to change speeds while using and to start of slow and increase.
On the plus side, however, it saves what setting it is used on, so if you find a speed or pattern that you simply adore you can just turn it on and go for it without having to waste time searching for it, which I guess would be great if you're in a hurry to get started. ;-)
Because of the photo I thought this was a twist-on where you start low and twist for more speed. It also feels like a twist turn and I've twisted it once or twice while in use and pop the batteries fell out.
But apart from all these little faults I have picked, I really do like this vibrator.
I struggle to find sex toys that I enjoy, and most of the ones I buy end up in a box and never seen again (until I bin them).
The more I use this vibrator the better it is. The vibrations are powerful and felt the whole way up the shaft plus on the little rabbit itself. I like clitoris stimulation, and most toys I have tried haven't given me what I wanted. This is perfect for me. As with its bendy soft shaft and flexible little rabbit it really is amazing.
The pros on this out weigh the cons for me and only mention them as it is worth noting.
On a more personal note, the reason I haven't mention any mind-blowing orgasms is I have never experience one. Ever. But that doesn't mean this item is anyway bad. In fact that I really like it says something, eh. :D
- Pros
- Soft and Bendy, Strong Vibrations.
- Cons
- Buttons and lid.
- Bottom line
- Pros out weigh cons. Amazing.

Just Wonderful
Reviewed: 11 September 2017 by Lols, a Straight Single Female
I have had quite a few different rabbit vibrators but this one is by far my favourite.
I really appreciate the bendable body so it will fit the contours of my body, unlike other stiff ones. The length is wonderful but I could stand a bit more girth personally. I love the buttons being on the bottom so there's no chance of accidentally turning it off or changing the tempo.
The ribbed body just helps to keep the waves of pleasure rolling over you! A very welcome addition to my drawer.
- Pros
- No offensive smell. Bendable. Great length.
- Cons
- Bottom line
- Great for beginners and old hands alike.

Hello Mr Big
Reviewed: 01 August 2017 by MsBZiggyStarr1989, a Straight Married Female
Far too big for me personally! But, love the softness of this, absolutely love it!
The rabbit is fully auto! Soft, you feel the vibrations 100% in the rabbit and the shaft. This is a fantastic product for all over vibrations and quality or orgasms assured! Not for the faint-hearted or beginners.
Super smooth, super bendable, soft squishy design, beautiful colour and quality. Love the functions and the speeds are perfect for me! The buttons were soft and easy to use, the base is easy to remove and batteries were easy to insert. Amazing orgasms and you won't put it down.
