If you have ever watched porn videos, it is highly likely you have seen mean spurting loads of thick cum on the face of their sexual partners, to the amusement and enjoyment of their female counterparts. What does this tell you? That loads of cum are highly appreciated by ladies, and are a great ego appeaser for the man. Ever seen how the men in the porn movies stand up with their hands akimbo as the ladies struggle to have a piece of the thick cream pie cum?
Away from the porno videos; scientifically, a high sperm count produces healthy kids, not to mention the fact that a man is believed to be sexy and masculine if he ejaculates huge loads of cum during sexual intercourse. Low sperm count in men is the order of the day for most people today, if not for anything else, because of the kind of lifestyle that many are leading. From cigarette smoking to taking of alcohol, eating unbalanced diets and leading sedentary lifestyles, all these can contribute to low sperm count.
Experts' advice on hitting the gym and changing your lifestyle in order to enjoy the many great benefits of thick semen. Even so, you know that while such a move is healthy and highly recommended, no doubt it can take forever for you to experience the results that you so much desire. This explains the emergence of an easier, healthier way out of low sperm count. The use of semen pills is gaining in huge popularity today more than ever before simply because it enhances the production and capacity of sperms in the male body.
But what makes these semen pills so effective?
High vitamin content
They are effective because they are made of natural ingredients that boost one's sperm count while providing an overall healthy being. The vitamin content of semen pills is quite high, with protein and zinc topping the list of some of the most active ingredients that boost the production of semen.
Herbal Content
There is also an herbal content added to these pills to enhance the quality of sperm count. No doubt sexual intercourse is one of the most intensive workouts one would ever do, and all the energy is required. While producing healthy sperms is a task by itself, taking pills that have a rich herbal content ensures one gets the energy they need to produce the hormones that are responsible for sperms production, as well as the energy required to do the task itself.

Applications for our student leadership program are opening up again in a few weeks and it has me reflecting on what I look for in a student leader. Over the past week, I decided that I want our student leaders to be a leader third. Before they can be a student leader, they need to be a Christ follower first and a servant second:
1. Christ Follower
Student leaders are the ones that make things happen. But one of the first things I tell student leaders is, "this isn't ASB." I think it is important to make the point that they aren't planning events and running ministries just for fun, they are doing it to help fulfill the purposes of the Church. A leader of a ministry isn't like the leader of a club. A leader of a ministry is the spiritual leader of a group of people. In order to have a team that can be spiritual leaders of your ministry, you need to have a team of students that are pursuing the Lord. Before you say yes to putting a student in your leadership program, make sure you know what is happening in their spiritual life. Ask them questions about their relationship with the Lord, what their quiet times look like, where they are being challenged, etc. Dig deep. Don't be afraid to talk to a spiritual leader in a student's life or even a parent!
2. Servant
Is this student serving already? One of the mistakes that I have made is overlooking this on some applicants. In my mind, I thought, "I can help motivate them to start serving." But that isn't something you should have to say about a student leader. Student leaders are the ones that are already serving in your ministry. Sometimes this means saying no to popular students in your youth group. When I took a closer look at our "core" students, I found that most of them weren't serving. Saying no to students like this might be tough, but it is a perfect opportunity to really challenge them and take them to the next level. Do be on the look out for students that are serving on ministry teams, showing up to serve projects, staying after events to clean-up, or just students that are servants in your ministry.
When I look for students that have leadership potential, I look for those two things. The more I develop our program, the harder I get on student leadership applicants. Don't be afraid to say a few no's. Letting in students that aren't ready can make your program ineffective, or worse, harmful to your ministry. Saying no to some students is okay. It is healthy for your program and it is helpful to grow the student that needs to grow.

Funeral services have now been set for Corporal Charles Licato, who died earlier this week in a car accident while on duty for the Harford County Sheriff's Department.
The viewing for Corporal Licato will be held at the McComas Funeral Home, 1317 Cokesbury Rd, Abingdon.
Friends may pay their final respects Monday, September 10, from 2 PM – 9 PM and Tuesday from 2 PM – 9 PM.
The funeral service will be held at 11 AM at Mountain Christian Church, 1824 Mountain Road, Joppa.
He'll be buried at Bel Air Memorial Gardens.
The investigation continues into the deadly accident.
Sheriff Jesse Bane tells WBAL Radio that Corporal Charles Licato died around 2:30 Thursday morning in an accident along Route 1 near the Conowingo Dam.
Bane says that a driver spotted Licato's department vehicle in a wooded area off the road and then used the deputy's radio to call for help.
The 34-year-old Licato was at the end of his shift when the accident occurred according to the sheriff's office.
Investigators say that Licato who was driving an unmarked Chevy Impala was headed northbound on Route 1, crossed the center line into the southbound lanes. At that point authorities say the car left the roadway, struck a steel pole on the driver's side and then hit two large trees. Bane says Licato was killed instantly.
He was a 14 year veteran of the Harford County Sheriff's Office. Licato's brother is also with the sheriff's office. Bane says Licato's father is a retired Baltimore City Police officer.
Sheriff Bane calls him one of a kind and a deputy who was brave and had no fear.
Licato worked in the Warrant Apprehension Unit.

Maybe it's just tradition that pikachu needs to be used in all electric gyms /shrugs.
Dissapointed about how Snivy's battle was handled, her gym debut and she gets owned, not cool
Maybe it's just tradition that pikachu needs to be used in all electric gyms /shrugs.
Dissapointed about how Snivy's battle was handled, her gym debut and she gets owned, not cool
When I'm saying short, I refer it to the battles - 1HKO for both Emolga and Tynamo, and for Snivy - after like 30 seconds she was out with no hits on Emolga. Pretty screwed up.
i'm confused what did Pikachu use to knock out Emolga?
Emolga had Aerial Ace, which did it's toll on Snivy and since Snivy's a Grass type...
You mean, worse than the ones where Ash didn't even win the gym battles, plus Ash used a bit of strategy here. I think you're overreacting. Palpitoad got a win, Snivy is shown that she isn't that strong yet again and Pikachu got some more wins, which is alright since it lost to Excadrill and it'll probably lose to Bouffalant.
This battle was good.
No idea, I only saw Electro Ball clashing against Electro Ball.
Iris: Are you sure the recipe calls for this many Minccino?
Cilan:*Sighs* Hang on, I'll check.
Ash: What's happening?
Cheren: Yeah...he does that sometimes.

This has to be my least favorite gym battle so far in Unova.
There were some great moments, and funny moments like Ash leaving the gym in the middle of the battle. But everything else was just nauseatingly bad.
- Palpitoad is male. I mean why give it such a feminine voice? I mean it was very feminine in this battle, even more so than it has been in the past few episodes. So yeah, not really cool. But I expected prior to this episode that Palpitoad was male, way to cheapen it here. And I'll get to why this is even worse down the line.
- Snivy lost. If anyone should've lost it should've been the rat but I'll get to that it an moment.
- Ash was completely and utterly out of character. Whomever wrote this, kindly stay the hell away from gyms from now on. Seriously, I don't care what kind of message you're trying to shove down our throats but honestly you did not need to make Ash do horribly that you had to resort to Cheapchu as your last resort.
- Pikachu.
A)Okay so let me get this straight. Elesa's Emolga isn't male and is female, and yet she didn't use ONE attract on Pikachu at all. What the hell. This is what really irritates me. It's like the writer went "Oh we did the attract thing just to confirm Palpitoad and Emolga's gender" but no sense it using it in a way that might actually cost Ash the entire battle by not using it on Pikachu. It doesn't help any that Elesa just let Pikachu use that OHKO quick attack on Emolga.
B). Pikachu being chosen in this. I mean it's bad enough that Ash is completely and utterly out of character. They really had to bring in Pikachu in all this and make it be the one that smacks Ash upside the head. Roggenrola would've been so much better. Sure it takes 1x damage from electric attacks, but honestly all Tynamo ever did (as far as I saw) was tackle. Ooh Roggenrola is going to be knocked out from a tackle.
The only decent match which has it's downsides as well is Palpitoad's battle with Zebstrika. And the only reason why I can't praise it for being the best battle, is because of that stupid close call it had, where it looked like it was knocked out.
I don't know how this episode that revolved primarily around the gym battle, could have so many things wrong with it. And I can't blame the gym being sucky merely just because of Pikachu. Because there were so many other things wrong with this gym that Pikachu is merely icing on the rotten nasty cake.
Now I didn't watch this is perfect quality, so maybe my irritation primarily stems from the fact I was getting annoyed with the quality not being perfect. So I'm going to reserve final judgement until I can actually see it in better quality. But from what I saw and what I expected, least favorite gym of Unova so far.

I will not say I'm the best. But by Ash's standards, I'm pretty good.
Some of you need to look at this before you comment on what a Pokemon should learn. Some of you are okay but some of you need to look at this: http://www.serebii.net/attackdex-bw/ This is the attackdex, it is your friend.
I find that amusing, Ash overthinking things is bad yet him impulse thinking is good.
But he still went with using a strategy and actually showed some development in this episode, compared to the start. He tried something and learn't that he didn't need to change the way he battles.
Snivy is not that strong, you guys need to stop putting that Snake on a mother f------ pedestal. She beat two Pokemon! 2! And one due to her utilizing attract.
Worse than Sabrina's battle? Worse then when Brock just gave Ash a badge before he trained again? Palpitoad got a wins as I said, Pikachu did well and as I've said, Snivy lost which further proves that she isn't that good.
And for the people that say this was bad writing, read this.
For the record, the reason why Satoshi botched the battle was very well explained as him attempting to overthink everything and try to strategize ahead of time, panicking when things didn't work out the way he had intended them to. When Pikachu gave him a wake-up shock, he finally realized that taking things as they come, adapting to that, and improvising with what options he has available is how he battles best, used pikachu in such a manner for the rest of the battle, and thus avoided getting hit by obvious counters. No bad writing here.

iron tail and quick attack OHKO is disappointing.
worst unova gym battle so far.
i wont mind snivy losing to emolga because of type advantage.
but OHKO on emolga is so... zzz
and whats with crashing the wall for 19279182791 times in a gym battle
Now that the episode has aired I can post two things I noticed beforehand going into this.
1. in hoenn and sinnoh in both of the region's fourth gyms, Ash's usage of a grass pokemon was a bad choice and the pokemon in question did not get a victory, Third time's...apparently not the charm or grass's best chance for fighting.
2. Ash using grass types in electrical gyms is apparently a bad idea as well
Elesa really needs to focus on her other two pokemon if they got beaten that quickly (though in Tynamo's case i'm not suprised given how people kept referring to it as the magikarp of unova, guess they were right.), sure Emolga knocked out Snivy due to type advantage, but it seems like she's focused on Zebrastrika so much once it goes down all you gotta do is send out a female and you practically have a lock on beating her.

The writers made her look like a real powerhouse in Ash's team, due to fact she is already well trained and got some awesome moves. When Ash caught it, Cilan mentioned she was well trained.
When I said "worse battle ever", it's ofc a bit over-reacting, but this battle was just bad in my opinion...
Just because that's the case at first doesn't mean it's going to hold, I've seen pokemon before who were considered strong when captured but then slowly decline after some time had passed.
Also, the attacking power of moves in the anime doesn't follow that of the games, people need to remember that.
I notice gym's still seem to be straight up "fight till you faint" battles so far this season...at least when Ash battles.
Umm, it actually does... maybe not 100% correct but it sure is. There is a reason after all for pokemons to learn new moves.
That doesn't mean the moves are going to help the pokemon in the long run, yes pokemon learn more moves over time, but that doesn't make them stronger or weaker, how the moves are used in battle is what counts, not the strength of them.
To get back on topic, I wonder how long Palpitoad and the Zebra went at it, sounds like they faught for a while from what i've heard.
Just because it's justifiable doesn't mean it isn't bad writing. Since when has bad writing been solely associated to apparently been written by someone who only has a small grasp of the language their writing.
The simple fact is, Ash was COMPLETELY out of character, that's why it's bad writing. It's like suddenly Ash gets pissed off at Oshawott for showing up every time and then kicking him (literally) for not waiting to be called.
Ash shouldn't have been strategizing at all in the freaking first place. I don't know if this was really screw with Ash's character but I'm not buying it. I don't care how he badly he saw Bianca losing, or how bad he lost to Bianca's dad, he still should not have been so indecisive in a way that nearly cost him the match.
And we certainly did not need Pikachu to send that message to him, when he should've just done with what he's used to.
Now had there been any sort of build up to this, sure I would be fine with it. Like Yugioh GX for a moment for a reference. Jaden lost badly to Zane, although he was seemingly close to winning. The next time Jaden battled Zane, he wasn't battling like he usually does and it nearly cost him, since he was "over thinking it" and wasn't playing the game to his best. When he realized this, sure the match ended in a tie, but he was back to himself, and realized he could do it his way just fine, and was the better duelist because of it.
But how does that apply to Ash? He didn't badly lose to Elesa. As far as I can tell there was no reason for him to doubt his own battling method, so much that he had to over think the situation and have it nearly cost him the badge.
So it comes down to, who honestly believes that some of us didn't like this episode just because we "didn't understand it?" Honestly that sounds like a petty counterargument for my opinion. Who says "I didn't understand the meaning" and even if I didn't understand it, what makes it less bad writing, when this episode should not have been written this way in the first place.
Ash should've went in there with what he wanted to use and won the usual way he does things. He chose Palpitoad because it's a ground type, Ash has instinctively chosen Pokemon that were super effective against the Pokemon in question prior to this so it's not out of the realm of possibility that he could've just had Palpitoad and used it merely because he knew it was a ground type.
So it doesn't matter if Ash's indecisiveness is justifiable, it doesn't suddenly change my opinion of the gym, just because the writers apparently wanted to try something new and make Ash look completely out of character. And mostly to make this gym battle last an entire episode, because apparently, they could not fill the entire episode with Ash being normal Ash so they had to throw in some B.S. out of character stuff just to fill out the time.
I'm still not sure how this lasted twenty two minutes, when it really did come off as incredibly rushed and the battles didn't seem that long at all. I mean I usually underestimate how much content can be shoved in the span of a single episode, but for this episode it seems I overestimated how much content can be in an episode, because this episode felt really empty. Edit: Though the quality of the way I saw the episode might have something to do with why it felt so empty.
I will not say I'm the best. But by Ash's standards, I'm pretty good.
Some of you need to look at this before you comment on what a Pokemon should learn. Some of you are okay but some of you need to look at this: http://www.serebii.net/attackdex-bw/ This is the attackdex, it is your friend.

West Cumbria UTC: Reaction and more detail of college plans
Last updated at 09:59, Tuesday, 29 May 2012
News that the west Cumbria is to get a new £10m University Technical College was today hailed as a major development for the area.
The Britain's Energy Coast University Technical College (UTC) will be the first of its kind in the UK to specialise in energy and link to the national sustainability agenda.
This will mean giving students the unique opportunity of acquiring knowledge and qualifications specific to the energy sector and giving them the best possible start to a future career in the industry.
Rob Rimmer, Programme Director for Britain's Energy Coast Campus, said: "We are delighted that our application for a UTC has been successful and West Cumbria has beenc chosen as one of the UK locations which will benefit from a massive investment in the shape of a new educational centre of excellence specialising in engineering and construction.
"Leading partners involved in the application including the University of Cumbria, Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, Lakes College West Cumbria and GEN II Training, really believe that this is an enormous vote of confidence in West Cumbria as Britain's Energy Coast. A UTC will help us create the skilled and qualified workforce needed to make this area one of the most important for energy in the UK and achieve the ambitions of Britain's Energy Coast.
"We are really pleased that our application proved that our vision has merit and as such now has the backing of the Department for Education. I would like to thank our local MPs Jamie Reed and Tony Cunningham for their support and the work with the Government on our behalf."
Rob Rimmer added: "The Britain's Energy Coast Business Cluster has been very supportive and we will expect their businesses now to work closely with us in shaping the UTC for their needs. What we can say however, is that our vision is for a UTC with 500 pupils by 2018 based at Lillyhall and serving West Cumbria, using the specialist facilities and training offered by GEN II/Energus and Lakes College. As well as teaching national curriculum subjects we envisage that the UTC will focus on subjects including nuclear, on and off shore wind farming, tidal and hydro, bio-mass, anaerobic digestion and solar energies and the developing fields in green construction techniques. These are all skills which will give this generation the opportunity to benefit from an increasing energy industry in this region."
Mike Smith, Chief Executive for GEN II Training, said: "GEN II is fully committed as a sponsor of Britain's Energy Coast UTC and will bring our significant experience and expertise in vocational training and education not only to enhance the work of the UTC, but also add considerable value to its learner's experience and educational attainment."
Cath Richardson, Principal for Lakes College West Cumbria added: "The Energy Coast is an important and valuable asset for the region and one which the College is committed to supporting. Britain's Energy Coast UTC will provide an excellent and distinctive additional progression route for learners and thereby a valuable opportunity for young people to achieve and contribute."
Liz Beaty, Pro Vice Chancellor of the University of Cumbria, said: "Developing progression routes for learners is a key aim for the University and the UTC model clearly offers a new opportunity to achieve this and a strong fit to meet the challenge of the future skills requirements of the energy industry in our region"

Your quiche looks delicious. And I was so excited to see that you have been raw for 26 days. I recently began my journey into raw food (about a month or so ago) and although I am not 100% raw I am definitely headed there.
I look forward to following your journey! - August 26, 2009 at 5:36 PM

The one big mistake a lot of people make when switching to raw foods is to not count their fat content. Judging from your recipes,
I think it would be a good idea to monitor that for a few days. - January 20, 2010 at 5:39 AM

Notes on the Mantra R07 Trimming system by Ozone Test Pilot, Russ Ogden:
The R07 comes with trim risers as standard. These are also available for the M2 as an optional extra. First of all and most importantly is that the trimmers can be used with confidence - there is not too much travel with them, approx 1.5cm to slow down and 4cm to speed up.For max climb in thermals it is best to pull the trimmers fully on. This reduces the airspeed, sink rate and brake pressure without compromising the handling and with no early stall problems. For maximum handling it is possible trim the glider asymmetrically, with the inside trimmer pulled on fully and the outer left at neutral. The handling is at its best in this position and in strong climbs can be the most effective position. However, please be aware that while in this configuration your wing will be trimmed asymmetrically and the pilot must take this into consideration in the event of any collapse or other maneuvers in flight.
In turbulent strong climbs or in any active air it is best to return the trimmers to the neutral position (where all the risers are the same length).
For most glides it is best to release the trimmers, except when trying to maximize glide while flying downwind in good air. Otherwise, release the trimmers all the way and add additional speed with the speed bar if needed. Another technique is to leave the trims in the slow position and use the speed bar to effect speed, only releasing the trimmers to reach maximum speed.
There are no right and wrongs - it is up to the pilot but we would suggest that the latter method is probably the safest. Normal collapses with the trimmers fully released are manageable, but as with all trim systems we strongly recommend in turbulent air to bring them back to the neutral position and fly the glider actively. At full speed and maximum bar it is best to keep the trimmers in a midway position unless you are confident that the air is smooth enough to let it go all the way.
Cheers Russ

SARASOTA COUNTY — A weeklong sting operation aimed at protecting Sarasota County children from online sexual predators netted 30 arrests, Sheriff Tom Knight announced Wednesday.
The SCSO's "Operation Intercept II" investigation has led to charges, including the use of a computer to solicit a child to commit sex acts, against men from North Port, Port Charlotte, Sarasota, Bradenton, Tampa, Fort Myers and the St. Petersburg/Clearwater area. Knight said one man traveled to Sarasota County all the way from Port Orange, just south of Daytona Beach on the East Coast. Operation Intercept II follows the initial Operation Intercept that nabbed 30 last May. This sting ran from Feb. 8-15.

The Other Guys
New York City Serenade
Hollywood's never-ending onslaught of remakes continues! January's remakes and sequels were a varied and surprising bunch, and the most recent crop is no different. This month sees a classic romantic comedy and horror movie get reinvented, while another European thriller gets Americanized and an ensemble comedy gets updated.
Hard to believe that The Bodyguard is almost twenty years old, which may be why Warner Bros. is looking to remake it. Deadline reports that screenwriters Jeremiah Friedman and Nick Palmer will write the remake of the 1992 original, which saw Kevin Costner as an ex-Secret Service Agent who falls for the singer (Whitney Houston) he has been assigned to protect from a stalker. The remake won't stray too far, changing the Costner character to a Iraq War veteran and updating the movie to include cyber-stalking. According to the report, the plan is cast a young singer "with global appeal" in the Houston role.
Don't just sit there, join the conversation! No need to register to comment, just let us know what you think. Have fun, but please keep it clean and stay on topic — inappropriate remarks will be removed.

Watch-Out Wednesday: BonLook
Montreal-based BonLook was founded by Sophie Boulanger and Mélanie Daigle, in an effort to bring the style and quality of European eyewear to North America. They were inspired by traveling the world, living abroad, and constantly learning about new cultures. BonLook believes that everyone has the right to sight. They work directly with high-end manufacturers to deliver stylish and edgy lenses at a fair price.
In an article in Fashionably Marketing Me, co-founder Sophie spoke about how the idea started: "When my partner realized that this industry was untouched by the internet, we decided to go into it. When you look at glasses, it's an essential need and very personal, and it's so expensive. We decided, let's sell a good product at a decent price so that people can afford more than one pair. We're going to be a new player and people can rely on us to offer high quality, stylish eyewear."
BonLook doesn't just want to help their customers get trendy glasses at an awesome price—they also give a percentage of all sales to a nonprofit that addresses vision-care needs of low-income children.
You can shop glasses and sunglasses by color or shape; and when you find something you like? Virtually try them on before your purchase!
We're also obsessed with the catchy names such as "Bonnie & Clyde" and "Drink The Kool-Aid." With prescription and non-prescription lenses, you're sure to find a pair (or two!) just for you.
Check them out on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest!

- Uses newer PowerPC 750CXe processor, not older PPC 750
- 500 MHz 256 KB on-chip cache, not 200 MHz 512 KB backside cache
- ATI Rage 128 Ultra, not older Rage 128 Pro
- 16 MB video memory, not 8 MB
If you are running Mac OS 9.1 or later, iMac Firmware Update 4.1.9 should be installed. If you are using Mac OS X, you must boot from a Mac OS 9.1-9.2.2 writeable partition (not a CD or network disk) prior to updating. You cannot update to OS X 10.3 or later unless you first install Firmware Update 4.1.9.
- For more information on firmware updates, see iMac: When to Install Available Updaters.

This was the first time my family and I travelled to George (as part of our Garden Route holiday). Erica's guesthouse was just that- a GUEST house. She really treated us like visiting relatives in her home. I especially enjoyed the varying breakfast each morning. Our rooms were neatly packed when we left loose items lying around. She prepared rusks... More

Jolokia is a fresh way of accessing JMX MBeans remotely. It is different from JSR-160 connectors, as it is an agent based approach that uses JSON over HTTP for its communication. It provides new features for JMX remoting: bulk requests allow for multiple JMX operations with a single remote server roundtrip, there is a fine-grained security mechanism for restricting JMX access on specific JMX operations, JSR-160 proxy mode, and history tracking, to name a few. Jolokia's origins are in jmx4perl. Client bindings in addition to Perl have already been added, and more are planned.
WaldScan is a PHP class which recursively scans a given directory for a list of selected file types. It has many uses for any Web page which serves files over HTTP/HTTPS, for a CLI program which does batch processing of files, or in cron jobs for caching file data for faster access.
CI-Eye is a powerful continuous integration build radiator requiring no installation and almost no set-up. CI-Eye talks to many different CI servers through their REST APIs (so no plug-ins are required). Currently, support is offered for Hudson, Jenkins, and TeamCity. CI-Eye runs as a standalone Web application.
jmxtrans is effectively the missing connector between JMX and whatever logging or graphing package that you can dream up. jmxtrans is very powerful tool that reads JSON configuration files specifying servers/ports and JMX domains/attributes and then outputs the data in whatever format you want via special "Writer" objects that you can code up yourself. It does this with a very efficient engine design that will scale to querying literally thousands of machines. The core engine is pretty solid and writers are included for cacti/rrdtool, graphite, and stdout.
C++ template classes implementing a B+ tree key/data container in main memory.
A powerful and pretty desktop environment for Linux and Unix-like systems.
