3 1. Introduction Heat stress can kill Heat stress is an increasing phenomenon, particularly in southern jurisdictions, where severe weather patterns and heat waves are linked to the effects of climate change. During the 20th century, heat, particularly heat waves have probably caused more deaths in Australia than any other natural hazard. In the period between 1803 and 1992, at least 4287 died in Australia as a direct result of heat waves. 1 They are also one of the least studied natural hazards. Heat can also cause expensive livestock and crop losses and damage to roads, railways, bridges etc. Heat stress is best described as excessive exposure to heat that may lead to a number of heat conditions ranging from mild conditions, such as prickly heat to more life threatening conditions, like heat stroke. People suffer from heat stress when the body absorbs more heat than it can dispel. Prompt action will avoid the serious or even fatal consequences of fully developed heat stroke. The groups most at risk of heat stress are young children; the elderly; those with alcohol, weight, or health problems; and people on medications which have a drying effect, or reduce perspiration. Seek medical advice in all such cases. All parts of the Northern Territory can experience temperatures in excess of 30 0 C. In the Top End during the Wet Season, this is combined with high levels of humidity and in Central Australia, temperatures may exceed 40 0 C. Anyone can fall victim to heat stress through a lack of hydration, over exertion or being over exposed to the sun. Acclimatisation plays an important role in protecting healthy people from heat stress and therefore new residents and visitors to the NT are particularly vulnerable. These Guidelines provide information on how to overcome heat stress, particularly the effects of heat stroke. 1 Geoscience Australia. Australian Government. Commonwealth of Australia.

4 2. Types of Heat Stress related illness. Heat stress represents a continuum of disorders from minor syndromes such as heat rash, heat cramps, heat syncope (fainting), heat exhaustion to the severely life-threatening disorder known as heat stroke. Heat Rash an itchy and painful skin rash, caused by blockages of the sweat ducts and an increase in pressure of the sweat ducts. Heat cramps painful cramps affecting various muscles or muscle groups and parts of the body. Heat syncope (Fainting) the blood vessels in a person s extremities dilate to increase heat transfer to the skin, causing reduced blood flow to the heart and brain, leading to a person fainting. Symptoms Heavy sweating, tired and thirsty Moist cool skin Irritability Loss of appetite Nausea Prickly heat rash Muscle spasms / twitching Painful muscle cramps (abdomen, arms and legs) Treatment (First Aid) Move to a cool place (e.g. cool shady area, air conditioned environment) Lie down with legs supported and slightly elevated Have a cool shower or bath Drink more water Massage muscles gently to ease spasms, or firmly if cramped, then apply ice packs and drink glucose (e.g. diluted cordial) Additional salt treatment is not recommended Department of Health is a Smoke Free Workplace Page 2
5 Heat Exhaustion A serious heat illness which may progress to heat stroke if not properly treated. It is most common in non-acclimatised individuals. Symptoms Profuse sweating Cold, clammy, pale skin Fatigue, weakness and restlessness Headache Dizziness Nausea and /or vomiting Weak, but rapid pulse Normal temperature Faintness Treatment (First Aid) Move person to a cool place (e.g. cool shady area, air conditioned environment) Lay person down with legs supported and slightly elevated Loosen clothing Cool person e.g. apply cool wet cloths to person s head and body, fan them Give sips of cool water If vomiting continues, seek medical assistance immediately Department of Health is a Smoke Free Workplace Page 3
6 Heat Stroke (Hyperthermia) THIS IS A MEDICAL EMEGENCY Do not delay, call 000 immediately. Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related illness. It occurs when the body is unable to control its temperature. The body s temperature rise rapidly to dangerous levels and internal systems start to shut down, leading to permanent disability and death if emergency treatment is not provided. Symptoms High body temperature (more than 40 C) Altered mental state, e.g. confusion, disorientation, rapid development of unconsciousness Dry skin (though this is not often present) Dry swollen tongue Rapid, strong pulse at first, then weaker Headache Dizziness Nausea Fits/seizures, coma Treatment (First Aid) Seek medical assistance urgently. In the meantime: Move person to a cool place (e.g. shady area, air conditioned environment). Lay person down with legs supported and slightly elevated Remove clothing Cool person rapidly: o Apply ice packs to the person s groin and armpits o Also, apply cool water, or wrap in a wet sheet and fan them (keep wet) If person is unconscious, check person s airway, breathing and pulse: o If person is in cardiac arrest, begin CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation) o If person is breathing and has a pulse, position unconscious person on their side and clear their airway Do not give sips of cold water Department of Health is a Smoke Free Workplace Page 4
7 3. Guidelines to avoid heat stress When the body is exposed to elevated temperatures, the human body relies on sweating to lose heat. Evaporation through sweating is important to cool the body. Therefore in order to lose body heat, a person must be able to sweat. Prevention is the best way to manage heat stress. Suggestions to prevent heat stress include: Drink plenty of fluids: o Drink water to the point where your urine is light yellow colour. This generally means drinking two to three litres of water per day but may be more depending on heat, humidity and physical activity. Drinking too much water (e.g. over 10 litres) can be dangerous too so always check to ensure that your urine remains a light yellow colour o Rehydration is best with water and not carbonated drinks o Avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks during exercise as it increases your risk of hyperthermia Acclimatisation: It takes weeks to acclimatise to a hotter climate. Avoid strenuous activities during this period Light Clothing: To help evaporation of sweat, wear lightweight, light-coloured, loose, porous clothes and a wide-brimmed hat Protect yourself outside: Use strong sunscreen as sunburn limits the body s ability to cope with heat Do not take salt tablets unless prescribed by a doctor Stay cool indoors: o Keep your home cool with curtains, shutters, or awnings on the sunny sides and leave windows open at night o If you don t have air conditioning, use fans and damp towels etc. to stay cool o Have frequent cool showers Avoid exposure to heat: o Minimise exposure to direct sunlight if possible o Spend as much time as possible in air-conditioned buildings (e.g. shopping centres, galleries, museums etc.) if it gets too hot outside or at home Schedule outdoor activities carefully: Try to restrict your outdoor activities to cooler parts of the day (in the mornings and evenings) Do not leave children (or pets) in parked vehicles: The temperature in cars can heat up to dangerous levels very quickly, even in cool temperatures or with the windows cracked open Seek medical attention if you suffer chronic illness or feel unwell Protect your pets: Give animals access to shade and plenty of water Department of Health is a Smoke Free Workplace Page 5

text: Oxygen Can Be Generated From Comet 67P In Deep Space Without The Need For Life By Amit Meta | May 15, 2017 04:14 AM EDT oxygen is the third most abundant element in the universe. It is rarely seen elsewhere outside the Universe, though individual atoms of oxygen are common in space, particularly around massive stars. Now a recent finding shows oxygen can be generated from Comet 67P in space without the need for life. In 2015, for the first time scientist announced molecular oxygen at Comet 67P was found by Rosetta spacecraft. They said, it was the biggest surprise for them and it could help to understand how the solar system formed. Scientist discovered that the oxygen was frozen inside the comet since the beginning of solar system some 4.6 billion years ago. They also found, when the Comet 67P close to the Sun, it spreads oxygen. Chemical engineer Konstantinos P. Giapis uttered, the chemical reactions occurring on Comet 67P's surface were exactly similar to experiments he had been performing in his lab for the past 20 years. According to Caltech Authors, the molecular oxygen at Comet 67P is not ancient. But now it is being produced by an interaction between water molecules coursing off the comet and particles streaming from the sun. Watch video Now scientist briefly described how the oxygen formed. They said the water molecules of the Comet 67P are heated by the Sun. After getting heated, it becomes ionized by UV ray from the Sun, then the sun's wind blows the ionized water molecules back toward the comet. Finally, when it hit backs the comet's surface, which contains oxygen bound in materials such as rust and sand then the molecules pick up another atoms and oxygen is formed. In addition, this oxygen producing mechanism from Comet 67P could be happening in a wide range of situation, Seeker reported. Moreover, "Understanding the origin of molecular oxygen in space is important for the evolution of the Universe and the origin of life on Earth," wrote by the researchers. This process is an abiotic process that means oxygen can be produced in space without the need for life. This chemical reaction is based on is based on the seldom-considered class of Eley-Rideal reactions, which occur when fast-moving molecules collide with surface's new molecules. All necessary condition and such reaction exist on Comet 67P.

By James Agberebi:
Ex-Super Eagles midfielder, Etim Esin, has berated the Nigeria Football Federation following the sacking of Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.
On Saturday 4th July , the NFF through its media officer, Demola Olajire, released a statement confirming the contract termination of Keshi.
In a chat with Completesportsnigeria.com, Esin expressed his disappointment at the development.
He challenged the newly appointed interim coach, Amodu Shuiabu to better the records set by Keshi.
"The sacking was uncalled for. Can't we appreciate our own for once?," Esin remarked.
" Let me see what Shuaibu will bring that will beat Keshi's record. Fine, he qualified the team for two World Cups, but Keshi also qualified the team for the World Cup and also won the Cup of Nations.
"Keshi is not my best friend, but we should always try and do the right thing and stop doing things that will continue to draw our football backwards. So honestly, Keshi's sack is not acceptable."

A new regional headquarters for Potomac Edison's Maryland operations will be located in the Williamsport Service Center, a result of Allegheny Energy's merger with FirstEnergy that will add to the approximately 130 employees already there.
"The facility was chosen because it is centrally located, can accommodate the Potomac Edison management organization and is already equipped with the company's information technology infrastructure, a significant cost savings," according to a statement Friday from FirstEnergy, which is headquartered in Akron, Ohio.
The newly appointed president of Maryland Operations is James V. Fakult, who was formerly with FirstEnergy in the Ohio Edison service area in Akron, FirstEnergy spokeswoman Ellen Raines said.
The number of new employees at the center could not be confirmed Friday, FirstEnergy spokesman Todd Meyers said.
"Basically, it will be Jim's management team," Meyers said, referring to Fakult and the additional personnel being added at the center.
The Williamsport Service Center, 10802 Bower Ave., off Interstate 70 near Halfway, currently employs approximately 130 people, including line, substation and transmission line crews, designers, meter readers and garage mechanics, he said.
The center also has a general storeroom for poles, lines, transformers and other equipment and supplies used in about half of the Alleheny's existing service area, Meyers said.
"I'm very pleased the company recognized that my advice that the best location for locating the headquarters of its Maryland operations was to come back to Washington County," U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett said in a statement.
The decision to place the regional headquarters at the center will bring in about 40 new employees, Bartlett said.
Allegheny Energy's headquarters were on Downsville Pike from 1996 to 2004, a building which earlier served as the general office of Potomac Edison when it was a company with Allegheny Power Systems.
The merger proposal called for regional headquarters in Allegheny's service areas, operating under the names of subsidiaries Potomac Edison, West Penn Power and Mon Power.
"Over time, we will reintroduce the utility operations companies' names," Raines said. "It's our local communities that are our focus."
Reintroducing or keeping the names of utility operators was something customers were comfortable with, she said.
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission Thursday cleared the final hurdle to the merger of FirstEnergy and Allegheny Energy, and the companies began joint operations Friday.
It will also be back to the future for electric customers as they will soon open utility bills containing names of companies from bygone years.
"It will be gradual over time," Raines said of the transition.
Customers can expect to see advertising about the name changes, new decals on trucks and changes in the bills they receive.
Washington County customers of what had been Allegheny Energy will be making their payments to Potomac Edison, Raines said.
In Franklin County, Pennsylvania, the bills will soon be coming from West Penn Power, a subsidiary of Allegheny.
West Penn will maintain its headquarters in Greensburg, Pa., the statement said.
In West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle, customers will be getting their bills from Potomac Edison or Mon Power, another Allegheny subsidiary.
The West Virginia regional headquarters is in a newly-constructed transmission operations center in Fairmont. Previously, there had been no regional headquarters in that area, Raines said.
The last time customers got bills with return addresses from Potomac Edison and West Penn was 1996, Meyers said.
FirstEnergy announced plans in February 2010 to purchase Allegheny for approximately $4.7 billion in stock. Together, the companies will serve 6 million customers from Ohio to New York, the FirstEnergy statement said.
The companies will have combined assets of $48 billion and annual revenues of about $16 billion.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Thoratec THOR, +2.21% shares tumbled more than 7 percent to $12.80 after the company said a decision on national coverage of the use of its left ventricular assist devices for destination therapy has been delayed. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said it would issue a decision by Sept. 15, pushing back its original deadline of Aug. 13. "This latest delay is very disappointing, particularly for the many very sick end-stage heart failure patients who can benefit from this procedure," said D. Keith Grossman, Thoratec's president and chief executive officer, in a press release issued after Wednesday's closing bell. The company said nothing has changed its view that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid will eventually issue a positive decision.

Peugeot 3008 review
In this review
Overall rating
What Car? says...
Whether you're a fan of the Peugeot 3008's looks or not, one thing's for sure: the French firm has certainly tried to give its small SUV a striking appearance. It taps right into the current trend for aggressive styling, whereas its predecessor, a previous What Car? Car of the Year, looked frumpier and more like an MPV.
Then there's the swish interior. Compared with the functional dashboards of rivals such as the Nissan Qashqai and Seat Ateca, the 3008 is more akin to a motor show concept car, with its plentiful mix of materials and avant-garde design.
Yet beyond the visual stimuli, the Peugeot 3008 needs to be practical, cheap to run and good to drive if it's to succeed in this extremely competitive class. Read on to find out exactly how good it is, and which engines, trims and options we recommend.

Take Action! Tell your lawmakers to prioritize post-Hurricane Matthew rebuilding
Just a few hours after the Senate released its budget, the Governor announced that the federal government would provide only $6.1 million to the state to rebuild post-Hurricane Matthew. Estimated damage from the storm that hit Eastern North Carolina in October 2016 is $2.8 billion.
The Senate provides just $150 million in state dollars for the Hurricane rebuilding effort.
Tell your legislators to make sure that the state budget prioritizes rebuilding post-Hurricane, and anticipates other federal losses in funding.
Rather than prioritize tax cuts for the wealthy and profitable corporations, North Carolina's leaders must prepare for federal funding cuts and meet needs in communities that are trying to rebuild from natural disasters today. Far too many families and workers are still displaced from their homes, schools, and jobs.
Ask your Senator or Representative to vote NO on a budget that includes another round of tax cuts, and urge them to craft a budget that commits state resources to shared priorities: rebuilding after Hurricane Matthew, affordable housing, additional pre-K opportunities and environmental protection, to name just a few.

After years of being hunched over like a stereotypical villain (Mr. Burns comes to mind), I decided to get my act together and stand up straight. My efforts in bettering my posture, and thus, alleviating the pain of my scoliosis, bad knee, and foot injury, are not evident in this picture.
Bad Stella.
Let this be a lesson to all on the importance of posture. See how I look? I look like I've shrunk, like I have a pooch (and I mean belly, not canine), and my shoulders are all hunched to the front. Not flattering at all. Stand up straight, flaunt what you've got. It's also part of a good workout! Above all, it indicates confidence. And, really, is there anything more flattering than being confident in yourself?
I have no excuse for my posture in this picture other than the fact that I was dead tired. Long day at work, still getting used to new schedule. Also, working out every day...my energy levels, oh, they aren't what they used to be!
On to the outfit...some time ago, my mom gave me several bags of her clothes to sort through and classify. Some we'll sale at a little garage sale we're planning, and others, many others, I chose to keep. I've shorted and taken in several, this dress being one of them. I have fond memories of my mom in these clothes. Plus, by wearing them, I'm reminded of her. It's funny. When you're younger, you want to be cool and grow up, and run away from your parents. Now, I treasure the time we spend together. And I miss my parents! Specially now that mom and I thrift together. And dad and I can have adult conversation. While I drink wine.
The dress is a little on the conservative side, that's why I decided to throw it in the mix of things. Some boots, leggings, and a striped top; we're back in business. I can feel my funky side flowing into my work wardrobe a bit. Since I started my new job, I've played it a little safe (after all, my m.o. for clothes -and life- is loud and proud) because I don't want to gauge anyone's eyes out while they're still getting to know me. But little by little,yes...I will bring my prints...I will bring my flowers. I will bring my mustard pleated vintage pants with patent high heeled oxfords. And I will rock.
Bring it!

What a Slouch: A Lesson in Posture

I found out that I can improve the speed of the display rendering with about 50%.
It's quite simple really.
Currently I'm checking every frame, after every color, after pixel on/off...
But my machine will not feature 60 fps full motion video. Heck, even cinemas don't have that. You can easily see that this is a large overhead with largely redundant information.
By extracting the draw buffer (front) from the videolayer (back) I can keep drawing the frontbuffer "no questions asked" at about 1 ms per color. All the screen updates, such as text and images, happens in the backbuffer and when say a certain interval has passed the buffers are swapped. Rinse and repeat.
The beauty about this is that I remove all the heavy checks from the draw routine and can spread out the work of building a frame over a "lot" of time. Every clock cycle is crucial in this build since the Arduino is a single core, single process type of MCU.
A quick example (numbers are guesstimates, since I have not coded the backbuffer part yet):
Single frame: 18 ms (drawing) + 20 ms (building) = 38 ms, gives around 26 fps if the frame would be recreated every frame, such as during a video scene. This is very low and flickering is noticeable. Normal case is around 52 fps if the frame is created only once and drawn many times.
Single frame: 8 ms (drawing) + 2 ms (building) = 10 ms, gives around 100 fps if video was created at about 15 frames/sec. I could easily limit the drawing to 70 Hz to further free up resources without being noticeable for the player. Time that they however will feel with the game being more responsive.
I can't believe I've missed this -
I've done this a million times before in regular graphics programming...

U.S. Conventional Units (may also be referred as United States customary units): In the United States, most people express distances in inches, feet, yards, or miles. Those units, along with the units we use for speed, volume, and other quantities, are known as the U.S. Conventional System.
SI Units or Système Internationale: The International System of Units (abbreviated SI from French: Le Système international d'unités) is the modern form of the metric system and is the world's most widely used system of measurement, used in both everyday commerce and science. Most scientists and most countries now use SI units. SI units use the meter, the kilogram, the second, and the kelvin. Each base unit measures a different quantity. For example, the meter measures length, and the kilogram measures mass.
The units of these two systems are different, but the quantities they represent do not change. The units have a fixed relationship to each other. The laboratory results reported in U.S. Conventional Units can be converted into the results in SI Units or vice versa. The relationship to convert a value from one system to the other is called conversion factor. Below are some of the websites containing the conversion factors for common laboratory tests. The SI Conversion Calculator or conversion factor table provided by JAMA Author Instructions may be the most common one that has been used.
- SI Conversion Calculator
- Clinical Analyte Unit Conversion
- SI Units for Clinical DataNormal Laboratory Values from AIDS.org
- AMA manual of style laboratory unit table
- Conventional Units - International UnitsClinical Chemistry SI Conversion Factors
The following may also be useful in understanding the different laboratory test units:
Factor Prefix Symbol for Lab Unit
10^12 tetra T
10^9 giga G
10^6 mega M
10^3 kilo k
10^(-3) milli m
10^(-6) micro µ
10^(-9) nano n
10^(-12) pico p
10^(-15) femto f
10^(-18) atto a
1 mL = 1 cc where mL is milliliter and cc stands for cubic centimeter
mg = milli gram = one-thousandth of a gram. 1 g = 1000 mg
1 mg = 1000 mcg or ug, here mc stands for "micro-" meaning "one millionth of".
In cell counts, the results may be reported as #/cumm, here cumm = mm^3 meaning per cubic millimeter.
For microbial measures (such as viral counts and viral loads), the log scale is commonly used. Microbial load (cfu/g or cfu/ml) can be expressed as log10. So, if you have 100,000 microbes that is 5 log, 10,000 microbes is 4 log, 1,000 is 3 log, 100 microbes is 2 log and 10 microbes is 1 log. Now, if you went from 100,000 microbes cfu/g to 10,000 microbes cfu/g that would be a 1 log reduction (5 - 4 log). If you went from 100,000 to 32,000 that would be a 0.5 log reduction (5 - 4.5 log) and so on.
If the microbial population went from 100,000 to 32,000 that would be a 0.5 log reduction (5 log - 4.5 log).
If the microbial population went from 100,000 to 320,000 that would be a 0.5 log increase (5.5 log - 5.0 log)

What a time to be alive! But what does the increased convenience mean for retail space and the commercial real estate industry as a whole?

O'Neil Commits to San Diego St.
Winnacunnet High's Kirsten O'Neil is arguably the best 2 sport athlete in the NHIAA. She's one of the state's best players in both soccer and basketball. In addition to being an all-state player in both sports this past year and winning 2 state titles in basketball, she has played in 3 AAU National Tournaments in basketball and in soccer she has competed in the ODP (Olympic Development Program) at the National level as well.
Recently, O'Neil ended her recruitment by making a commitment to play soccer at San Diego State University, a Division I school which competes in the Mountain West Conference.
Despite the fact that O'Neil has excelled in both sports, she knew that soccer was the sport she would be playing in college.
"I was more focused on D-I for soccer instead of a D-III school for basketball" said O'Neil.
O'Neil led the Winnacunnet girls soccer team to the final four for the first time in 24 years. In the quarterfinals vs. Manchester Central, she scored the tying goal with 30 seconds left of play, then scored the game winning goal on a header in overtime. She has achieved National, Regional and State pool ODP status for soccer. O'Neil had a number of schools recruiting her for soccer.
"I was considering a few schools in Pennsylvania as well as UNH, and also many North Carolina schools" said O'Neil. "But I loved the campus at San Diego, and the coaches were very welcoming. The weather and location is beautiful, and I wanted a whole new experience."
O'Neil is also one of the state's best players in basketball, making it even more impressive that she will be playing Division I soccer in college. Last season as a junior she was a 2nd team all-state player and was the starting point guard for an undefeated state champion Winnacunnet girls basketball team, which has now won 5 straight titles and 77 consecutive games. She scored 28 points in the Warrior's regular season win over eventual runners-up Londonderry. Playing both sports definitely helped with her recruitment for soccer.
"I'm a versatile player and that's what the coaches really liked" said O'Neil, whose older sister Kelsi is a sophomore for the UNH women's soccer team. "Im hoping to make an impact and fit in well at San Diego St. Fitness is huge in both sports, and playing both complimented each other a lot. It keeps me in shape year round - going into basketball season I'm in shape from soccer, and after basketball season I get right back into soccer in the spring and I'm in good shape from basketball all winter."
Now that O'Neil has ended her recruitment, her next goal is to win a state title in both soccer and basketball this year as a senior.
"To win 2 state titles will take a lot of hard work from every player on the team" said O'Neil. I don't have experience winning a state title in high school for soccer, so that would be an amazing start to my senior year. And for basketball we are all very close as a team so it's a big plus. We'll have to work just as hard as last year though, if not harder."
O'Neil has been named a captain for both soccer and basketball for her senior year. She has a chance to not only win a state title in both sports, but also be the Division I Player of the Year in both sports as well. That would be a remarkable accomplishment.
The Winnacunnet girls soccer team begins their quest for a title on August 30 at home vs. Merrimack.
Congrats to Kirsten, and best of luck at San Diego State!

text: I'm just returning from a week at the beach at our family's house on Seabrook Island in South Carolina, right outside of Charleston. We had a wonderful week of relaxation after a hectic few months with our renovation and move. When at the beach, I basically live in rompers and I felt like the vintage tropical print of this romper was just perfect for vacation and roaming the streets of Charleston! It also has the cutest ruffled details and the most flattering cut. I am in love with all of the classic Palm Beach-esque floral prints and colors that H&M has in their summer line. In my opinion no romper is complete without some cute wedges, so I completed the outfit with these neutral suede platforms from local Lexington boutique Morton James (tf you aren't local, don't worry they are also available at Anthropologie + Nordstrom). I have to admit I wore these shoes just about everyday on our trip- they go with everything and are SO comfortable too! I'm excited to get settled back in at home and get back to work on decorating and finishing the last details of our renovation!

We join Jesus today while He and His disciples are having dinner. During the meal a group of Pharisees and scribes approach Him. They are aghast at His disciples' behavior and are going to make sure He knows about it.
The Pharisees are going to confront Jesus on the lines of the oral traditions or the traditions of the elders. According to TempleInstitute.org the traditions of the elders was originally a set of oral rules said to have been handed down to Moses during his time on Mt. Sini , while BibleHistory.com states that they were first seen in practice during Israel's captivity by Babylon. They were supposed to be like a buffer surrounding the Torah so, if observed, the user would be assured they would not be in danger of breaking one of God's written laws. These oral traditions were finally written down in 200 A.D. and were called the Mishnah. Read more »

single girls who have condoms
Isn't this a bit wierd or something? A single girl who keeps condoms in her bathroom or handbag or something? I can understand it for a girl in a relationship, but someone who is single obvisouly thinks they are going to get laid right?
Just a thought Chris, but maybe they happen to enjoy sex as much
as single guys, but don't fancy having a baby or getting The AIDS.manbearpig, champo, lyserge, powerfulmellow, milkyalmond, seibu, umlaut_ampersand, virago, hello_dave, Mr_Mills, GS2008, Coja, chris_81, and cowcow this'd this
- Memories, The_Living_Year, cherrycola, and virago this'd this
it just is
one of my mates was talking about it and i thought it was just a little wierd...it's like me keeping tampons in my bathroom just in-case when i'm entertaining a girl in my flat she comes on her periodRoyter-Hatfood this'd this
um, it's not though, it's nothing like that
the condom is mutually beneficial, is it not?
Do you really think it's weird? I'm afraid I don't understand...
yeah i do find it a bit wierd, think of it this way
the girl goes out, walks into a shop and thinks 'oh yeah i need some of these, i'll probably have sex soon' and then buys them and goes home...i just find that a bit odd......it is a good thing though, i'm glad they do this, but still.
Yes, that is the general thinking behind it
why, what do you guys think when you buy them?!
the only time i've ever bought them was when i was drunk in a pub toilet once
pack of three and i blew one of them up almost straight away.....the other times i've got them is just freebies and a friend gave me some when he was clearing his room out throwing all his stuff away after he split up with his girlfriend.
When I left my job to go travelling the office did a collection for me...
and in with the money they gave me 100 condoms. 100!
That's why girls buy them
If you don't, who the hell else will?
Condoms last quite a while though, errr........apparently.
It's not like buying fresh mango on the off chance that the man from Del Monte pops over.
- Scout and heartlessromantic this'd this
Also, this is a little like saying..........
'Well, my house isn't being burgled at the moment so I think I'll cancel my contents insurance'.manbearpig this'd this
it's a good thing if anything.
not weird at all.
i'm not saying that though am i?
i'm not 'getting laid' as a constant anyway. This thread was the result of a conversation i had with a couple of mates earlier
my gosh
those degenerate sluts
ah, the beauty of male hypocracy
'so...they like...they think they might be having sex in the next year. fucking sluts man'
We all think it.
I'm disgusted girls even know what sex is.
'Chris being an eejit'doodthatkicksarse, manbearpig, Heliotrope, and lyserge this'd this
- brusma this'd this
I think there are 2 types of guys
ones who hunt and have sex alot and ones who never think they'll get lucky again so only buy them when the odds look good. I'm the odds look good type.The_Living_Year this'd this
I buy plasters
before I've even hurt myself!
^ emo
wow. i'm not even going to begin explaining why your post was idiotic
you are just..wow. that's so ridiculous and stupid. i hope no single girls ever have sex with you again. or taken girls either.
you weirdo dinosaur.
jesus fuck chris mate
theo can you ban him for just talking about sex so much?Mehodor this'd this
you're damn right chris
how fucking dare the bitch.
Military School;
not really an adequate preparation for life on Civvie Street
Ha ha
what a mong
- joeydubya this'd this
i brought my mobile phone with me today but i wasnt expecting a phonecall, what does that make me
A WHORE.Mr_Mills this'd this
- burnmybird this'd this
Chris, I think everyone I've ever been out with had their own condoms
Now I realise where i've been going wrong, sincere thanks for that. Cripes, what a bunch of whores!
this is madness Chris
i keep condoms - its a wise things to have
I don't understand this thread.
I may understand it less than any other thread on DiS except the "how do I finger a girl?" one, which seemed a bit too much of a self-explanatory question.
in defence of chris I'd say it depends entirely on how many there were
1-5 = yep, sensible girl who rightly doesn't want to take any risks
50-100 bumper back = dear god man, I'm excited yet terrified at the same time
500-1000 = what does she do for a living exactly?
It's like the old joke...
I went to the chemists to buy some condoms. The woman asked me if I wanted small, medium or large. I said 'large, of course' so she gave a box of 5000.
Do you even understand what condoms are for?
"the only time i've ever bought them was when i was drunk in a pub toilet once"
So all this ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SEX seX SeX Sex S!*&$X SEX you've been having recently has been protected by......nada?
Excellent point.
Something isn't quite right with this story.
absolutely amazing sex
that he's been watching people have through their dorm windows. Hang on!1!! Did she just get that condom out of her OWN handbag!!?? WHORE!
- Anschul and Luis_Carruthers this'd this
yeah but we used to have freebie buckets for condoms in our sanitorium
at school and i got a few from there and then a few from a pub toilet and then some a mate gave me.
right, but you realise they're not to just stop babies?
If a girl's on the pill, great, it's a high percentage that you won't get her pregnant. But another MASSIVE plus for condoms is that they protect you from STD's.
ALWAYS USE A CONDOM YOUNG MAN. or at least until you're mature enough to realise why it's not weird for girls to have them, and why they're not in the same category as tampons. *smacks forehead*
yes i know
maybe posting this thread was a bit rash of me?
How topical.
The end.
you had mentals in your school?
no it's just the name
it's a very old school so sticks to traditional names etc. Sanitorium is a place for long term illness
but it's the traditional name for the medical centre
Not as weird as
a single man keeping a diaphragm cap.
I'm not sure if this is misogynist or just retarded
either way, i'm offended...
- katti this'd this
All the single ladies! All the single ladies.
All the single ladies! All the single ladies.
All the single ladies! All the single ladies.
All the single ladies! All the single ladies.
Get ya sheath out! out! out! out!
yeah, they normally have little holes pricked in them that way you think, oh great, i can save the one in my wallet for next week
meanwhile you're pregening up some mentalist who'll be chasing you up for money for the next 19 years.
i never really understood properly the tiny hole logic
my sperm is pretty syrupy and would find it hard to fit through a pin prick hole. my penis on the other hand...
I know I'm not offering anything new to this thread
but fuck me the fuck off if this isn't the funniest thing I've seen in a long timecolinzealuk this'd this
I'm loving the targeted ads at the top of this page
"How To Pick Up Girls"
I guess questioning them on their contraception is the best way to go.
I read that as
"I've got easyjet aids"
So glad you're back.
is this one of those classic threads that everyone who's someone posts in so when the day comes along when someone pipes up remember...
those 2 giants walking like a crab learning how to finger a girl with her own condoms?Luis_Carruthers this'd this
i told you guys

Original: 13th Feb, 2011
This hardly seems worth writing another blog entry thing about since I haven't really made much progress, but uh… here we go anyway, I suppose.
It's similar to the last progress shot since I didn't work on it much today. I didn't like how the mountains looked rather… flat and backdroppy, so I changed them a bit to make it look like there were mountains fading into the distance. I still feel like I should do something about the mountain on the right side of the image though since that also seems flat to me… HMM.
Other than that, I added some red shadow under and behind the dragon (after all, it IS red and red light will be shining through its semi-transparent wings…), I gave the tail some more definition, and worked on those floating chunks of land a bit. I'm also considering redrawing the big bits of grass in the foreground (again) since they aren't creating the effect I want them to… Sigh!
Hopefully the next progress shot will contain a bigger difference in progress…
