Query by J Brian: What are the effects of keeping a (GSM) cell telephone in your left pocket next to your heart muscle?
I read an article (Yahoo News) yesterday about a study of the effects of cell phones on the cerebral cortex. It was identified that following using a GSM cell phone, the cerebral cortex was "excited". I maintain my cell phone in my shirt pocket.
Ideal answer:
Answer by John
do not be concerned about it…
if you took to heart every thing the "experts" say is poor for you, you'd in no way be able to reside
Know better? Leave your personal answer in the comments!
I really like this phone for texting, but the touchscreen is very difficult to use. When I am trying to scroll through my contact list, it is very bad at figuring out where I'm scrolling or clicking. And for some reason I can only ever scroll when holding the phone with my left hand. When I have the phone in my right hand, it does not recognize any thumb swipes whatsoever. I guess it must have to do with how the swiping algorithm is programmed. It's a good solid phone for a very reasonable price, but if I had it to do over again I would not buy this phone.
Good eye wonder why myself.
Because it's a she that's why. She now goes by Kristin Paget the old he had a sex change and now is a she. Now stfu already about the high heels and nails! lol
those are the new lebron shoes that havent even dropped yet and those are gangstalicious man manicure nails
Why is he wearing high heels and nails?
How do you build an antenna like one they are using?I mean I don't think they are using a usrp as their bts.So how do you build something similar to a usrp?
c c c, this computer hacking fashion is not easy! rofl
ok but why he wearing those shoes?
yes hahahaha
@omwaboku noob,u are wrong he Is watching porn
Search youtube for detracktor for a solution to cell phone spying, hacking, eavesdropping, stalking and tracking.
no, those are air Jordan's
hell yeah!
All the people that are mocking his shoes and nails are next to be hacked by him…LMAO
Its a man in the middle attack. He creates a tower that cellphones recognize as a legitimate tower. There is a range, look at the two yagi antennas set up. GSM operates around the 900Mhz frequency. Maybe 800 I forget, but the range is still limited to the amount of watts being pushed through the antenna's. It's similar to being on a wifi network and using something like arp poisoning to become "the host". This is why high powered amplifiers are generally banned in most countries.
high-heeled shoes with a small beacon (strobo light)
other than that the video is rather interesting…
I thought the video was okay,but really…who cares what numbers someone is calling?,or what this guy is wearing? if you really want to do something…show how to communicate freely through phones/internet without pay a bill. its all done by satellite it should be free for everyone :/.
People are overlooking the simple.. the phone now talks via his GSM, and if his asterisk has outbound trunks, the person's mobile would use it. Thus if they make a call, it goes via his GSM and network VOIP trunk and he can listen in… of course inbound calls to the mobile wouldn't come via this hijack.
Right. He can pick up the TIMSI's and the IMSI's, and can probably pick up digital serial's like SMS and MAYBE even MMS, but he won't get audio due to the A51 encryptions, unless he has the correct algorithms to break it.
And he's got nail colors going as well
This says intercepts cell phone calls. I can see him getting the GSM and broadcasting on it, and I can see him hearing the broadcast but he would need to encrypt it to understand it. Because regardless of what he intercepts he can understand it do to the encryption. Am I correct?
This was from Defcon 18 (2010) in Las Vegas
5:30 "soo we have" – too much estrogens
Wearing high heels shoe and long nails on his fingers..what the…….is wrong with him?her?
except it didnt cost 1.5k $ 15 years ago

The Lower Perkiomen Valley Regional Sewer Authority (LPVRSA) is sending a letter to elected officials in the area – and statewide – asking them to stop interfering with the proposed interceptor project, according to Richard Kratz.
Kratz is the Perkiomen Township representative to the LPVRSA, which provides wastewater treatment to Lower Providence, Upper Providence, Perkiomen and Skippack Townships, and Collegeville and Trappe Boroughs.
"Outsiders are trying to get involved in this and be helpful," Kratz said during the meeting August 7 Perkiomen Township Board of Supervisors meeting. "All it does is cause more confusion than we already have."
The letter, which was obtained on Tuesday exclusively by the Perkiomen Valley Patch, highlights the history of the board, created in 1987, and occasional conflicts. According to Kratz, he drafted the letter with Perkiomen Township Manager Cecile Daniel, and it has been approved by the LPVRSA board. It will go out to all six municipalities in the region, as well as all sewer authorities, elected officials, and the Governor Tom Corbett.
"As in any situation, there have been times when not all parties have been in agreement with the final decisions made by this Authority," the letter states. "Those tough decisions were made for the benefit of the group as a whole and not the few."
This letter comes on the heels of a joint meeting on July 30 between some staff and attorneys for the LPVRSA, the DEP, State Senator John Rafferty and State Representative Mike Vereb, in an attempt to work out issues concerning the Lower Providence portion of the Perkiomen Valley Interceptor.
and township officials oppose the planned interceptor, as they believe it will cause environmental damage and safety issues at the Perkiomen Creek near Hoy Park in Lower Providence.
According to Kratz, the alternative would be to add a pump station in the area that could cost the LPVRSA as much as $10 million and $300,000 in yearly operating fees.
While the letter does not specifically outline all of the issues related to this middle interceptor, the board is very clear about its decision-making process.
"There will be those who disagree with the final decision to move forward with the installation of the middle interceptor in the location where it is presently being proposed," LPVRSA says in the letter. "Interference by others in trying to intervene in this matter creates more confusion to a situation that is already stressful. As a result, for those individuals that feel their interference is intended to be of assistance, STOP."
"The regional board is running this show and until we ask for help, we won't accept it," Kratz said.
Kratz did tell residents to "keep your eyes out" for local town hall meetings in each of the six municipalities at which the LVPRSA will discuss the issues and solicit feedback directly from residents.

Albany- Murder defendants may no longer have to wear visible shackles during court.
"This is somebody who has nothing left to lose, and we saw with the Nichols case what an unarmed person can do given an opportunity," says Darton Political Science Professor Roger Marietta.
Marietta says the supreme court is over thinking whether leg irons and handcuffs will influence a jury's decision and jeopardizing courtroom safety.
"At some point I think we need to be prejudice in favor of the victims," Marietta says.
The U. S. Supreme Court banned shackling after a Missouri man was visibly restrained during his sentencing. In a seven to two vote justices said the presiding judge did not determine whether he was an escape or security risk.
"They had his restraints hidden to the jury in the same case that during the penalty phase they had them visible," says defense attorney Howard Stiller.
Howard Stiller says he understands why the high court made their ruling, but says there are other ways to maintain safety without violating a defendant's rights.
"I think you can have your cake and eat it too. There's such great high-tech equipment now-a-days hat most police departments generally have anyway that you could make sure the defendant stays in place if there is some kind of security concern," says Stiller.
"There's lots of alternatives to that sort of thing. They have what they call a stun belt. It fits under the clothing, it has a remote control, and someone such as a deputy in the courtroom can exercise control over a defendant that way very easily," says Superior Court Judge Loring Gray.
Gray says he believes restraints are necessary in some situations, but prefers using invisible ones if they must be used. He says Missouri judges made the mistake not making it clear as to why they allowed the defendant to be shackled.
"They just said well we felt it was appropriate so that the jurors would feel safer. Here you know the guy is going away to the penitentiary for life at least. That's the other alternative. I don't see how that would make the jury feel any safer," says Gray.
Judge Gray says the ruling is very case-specific and he doesn't think it will have a large impact on the nation's court system. However, he does believe it will open the doors for more defendants to bring up similar complaints.
The ruling will not effect the conviction in the Missouri case. The defendant will have to go through another sentencing proceeding.

Exclusive: "Yo, If Somebody Gets Behind [Nicki Minaj], She's Outta Here"
Friday, Nov 18, 2011 3:30PM
As this week marks the one-year anniversary of the release of Nicki Minaj's platinum-selling debut, Pink Friday, and SOHH recently spoke with DJ Holiday about the star's commercial success.
Holiday, who worked with Minaj before she was a Young Money artist, says he always knew she had true star power.
"It was a blessing to work with her early on in her career. I always kinda knew in the back of my head that there was something different about her. The day I met her, we got in the studio and worked together [and] I just knew she was it. I meet artists everyday but I knew she would be special." (SOHH)
Holiday also spoke on Minaj's qualities as an artist.
"There wasn't just one thing that made her stand out, it was everything. I was like, "Yo, if somebody gets behind this girl she's outta here." She can rap, you know what I mean? You meet alotta female rappers and most of them are saying the same things, but she wasn't like that. She was talking about other things and it just made sense to me. She's my friend and we still talk every once in a while and I just wish her nothing but blessings."(SOHH)
Earlier this month, rapper Big Sean reminisced on his time spent with Nicki while recording the music video for remix to his single, "Dance (A$$)".
"I hit her up and she said she loved that song and she listened to it all the time with her tour dancers. Two days after I asked her, she killed it, sent it back and told me she wanted to shoot the video for it. When she came on the set, I was like, "Man she is fine as sh*t." D*mn, she look good. There was alotta chemistry, right? [laughs] Hell yeah. We go together good. That's my favorite video strictly because of her."(SOHH)
Veteran artist MC Lyte has also given Minaj her props, saying that Nicki's brand runs deeper than rap.
"Nicki is coming out to win. She's not thinking of the block. She's not just thinking of the city. So she's able to handle so many areas of what it takes right now to be an international star. So hats off to everybody that's doing it but, I see the vision that Nicki sees for herself that people probably didn't see before." (VH1)
Check out Nicki as she does her thing alongside Big Sean in the remix video "Dance A$$":

Dimensions and determinants of rural poverty
The economic crisis of the mid-1980s led to the implementation of a structural adjustment programme, which limited public sector spending and decreased subsidies for agriculture. A national programme of aid to needy families was set up to cushion the effects on the poorest families. Although illiteracy rates have dropped, about 66% or rural women were still illiterate in 1990.

CHATTANOOGA (AP) - Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko says his agency will help the Tennessee Valley Authority to get Alabama's Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant operating more safely.
Jaczko made the comment during a telephone conference call with reporters on Friday after he toured the plant with Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander, according to the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
In May, NRC gave Browns Ferry a "red" rating, which means inspectors found "high safety significance" issues.
The rating came after a reactor-core cooling valve failed last fall and prompted NRC to begin a series of inspections.
The first two-week inspection was just completed. It found that TVA "lacked rigor" when investigating the cause of problems, or simply made repairs without determining the cause. It also found problems with the plant's in-service testing program.

Europa League gets the stage to itself this week. Normally relegated to the Thursday after Champions League action, UEFA's second tournament moves half its matches to Wednesday, with the region's marque tournament resuming next week. That gives us four times over two days to enjoy a tournament that normally crams 16 matches into a four hour window.
The match day starts at 1:00 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, featuring six matches highlighted by Anderlecht's trip to St. Petersburg to take on Zenit and PSV's visit to Sampdoria. Then at 3:05 p.m. Eastern, most eyes will turn to Manchester and City's match against Salzberg, while some will look to Poznan and Juventus's visit to Lech or Madrid, where holders Atlético host Greece's Aris.
At Thursday's early kick-off time (again, 1:00 p.m. Eastern), CSKA Moscow looks to stay perfect against visiting Lausanne Sports (Switzerland), while Porto's visit to Rapid Wien and Borussia Dortmund's visit from Ukraine's Karpaty will give Germany's leaders a chance to start salvaging their knockout round changes. At 3:05 p.m. Eastern, Palermo has a must win match against visiting Sparta Parha, while Villareal will be looking to climb from their in their group against group leading Dinamo Zagreb.
Here are the fixture lists of the fifth round of UEFA Europa League action:
Group A
Manchester City (England) versus Salzburg (Austria), Wednesday, 3:05 p.m. Eastern
Lech Poznan (Poland) versus Juventus (Italy), Wednesday, 3:05 p.m. Eastern
Lech and City are atop the group with seven points each, meaning wins by each will put them into the knock-out round, with Lech's sixth round match with Salzberg giving them the inside track on first place. Juventus has drawn all four of their group stage matches. Even with a win, they'll likely need a result against City in round six to get through the group.
Group B
Atlético Madrid (Spain) versus Aris (Greece), Wednesday, 3:05 p.m. Eastern
Rosenborg (Norway) versus Bayer Leverkusen (Germany), Wednesday, 3:05 p.m. Eastern
Bayer's one point lead in group could turn into a one or two point deficit after today's matches, though both Atlético and Bayer are likely to clinch knockout stage places. The second place Atleti are three points ahead of Aris. With a win over their Greek visitors, they'll send both themselves and Bayer through.
Group C
Sporting Lisbon (Portugal) versus Lille (France), Wednesday, 3:05 p.m. Eastern
Gent (Belgium) versus Levski Sofia (Bulgaria), Wednesday, 3:05 p.m. Eastern
Sporting is four points clear of Lille at the top of the group, and having already won in France, they Portuguese club ware likely to clinch the group. That would put the winner of Gent and Levski in second place, if there is a winner. Levski won the first meeting 3-2, but Gent's last Europa League match was a 3-1 win over previously unbeaten Sporting.
Group D
Villareal (Spain) versus Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia), Thursday, 3:05 p.m. Eastern
POAK (Greece) versus Club Brugge (Belgium), Thursday, 3:05 p.m. Eastern
Dinamo and POAK come into the day one point ahead of Villareal, in third on six points. The Yellow Submarine can take control of the group with a win today, closing group play at disappointing Brugge. POAK need a win over the Belgians, still facing a trip to Zagreb.
Group E
Sheriff (Moldova) versus AZ (Netherlands), Thursday, 3:05 p.m. Eastern
BATE (Belarus) versus Dynamo Kyiv (Ukraine), Thursday, 3:05 p.m. Eastern
The group's top two meet in Belarus, with BATE having already take a point in Kyiv. With neither Sheriff nor AZ making much of an impact on this group, this could be Dynamo's only chance to make up the three points separating them, on seven, with group leading BATE at ten. If Dynamo does win, Sheriff and AZ are eliminated, with Dynamo ownig the tiebreaker over BATE.
Group F
CSKA Moscow (Russia) versus Laussane Sports (Switzerland), Thursday, 1:00 p.m. Eastern
Palermo (Italy) versus Sparta Praha (Czech Republic), Thursday, 3:05 p.m. Eastern
CSKA is perfect through four rounds and host a Lausanne club whose only point came after Silvio's stoppage time equalizer got them a point in Praha. With CSKA having given up one with allowing 12 in this tournament, look for the Red Army club to clinch group. Sparta comes into their match with a four point lead on Palermo and can advance with a draw.
Group G
Zenit St. Petersburg (Russia) versus Anderlecht (Beligum), Wednesday, 1:00 p.m. Eastern
Hajduk Split (Croatia) versus AEK (Greece), Wednesday, 1:00 p.m. Eastern
Russia's newly crowned champions have already won this group, sitting on a perfect 12 points. Anderlecht, second place with four points, sit second, seeing a win to make sure they're not passed by either AEK or Hajduk Split. AEK won the teams' initial meeting in Greece, 3-1, but have recorded only one point in the succeeding three matches.
Group H
Young Boys (Switzerland) versus Stuttgart (Germany), Wednesday, 1:00 p.m. Eastern
OB (Denmark) versus Getafe (Spain), Wednesday, 1:00 p.m. Eastern
What is it about German teams? Like Schalke in Champions League, Stuttgart has been horrible in league but great in Europe. The relegation-embattled club is perfect through four rounds. A draw over second play Young Boys, a team they beat 3-0 in Bern, will clinch first place. If the Swiss club doesn't get three points, they will be tied with a winner of OB-Getafe, both teams carrying three points into their match in Odense.
Group I
Metalist (Ukraine) versus Debrecen (Hungary), Wednesday, 1:00 p.m. Eastern
Sampdoria (italy) versus PSV (Netherlands), Wednesday, 1:00 p.m. Eastern
Sampdoria will need a win over Netherlands' leaders, given Metalist should get a victory over visiting Debrecen, who've yet to record a point. Samp coming into the match trailing Metalist by two points for second place, and sitting five points behind group leading PSV, Giampaulo Pazzini must find a way to keep-up with the prolific Dutch team. Metalist, having won 5-0 at Debrecen, should move to ten points.
Group J
Borussia Dortmund (Germany) versus Karpaty (Ukraine), Thursday, 1:00 p.m. Eastern
PSG (France) versus Sevilla (Spain), Thursday, 1:00 p.m. Eastern
I guess not all German teams are destined for continental success, because while Dortmund's dominated the Bundesliga, they haven't been able to climb into the top two of Group J. With Sevilla and PSG facing each other in Paris, Dortmund's being given their chance to make up ground. They need three from Karpaty, who haven't registered a point, ahead of a visit from group-leading Sevilla on the last match day. Sevilla currently leads the group with nine points, followed by PSG (eight) and BVB (five).
Group K
Utrecht (Netherlands) versus Napoli (Italy), Thursday, 1:00 p.m. Eastern
Steaua Bucharest (Romania) versus Liverpool (England), Thursday, 1:00 p.m. Eastern
Steaua and Liverpool seems destined for a draw. Just something in my bones telling me that. If it happens, Liverpool moves to nine points and stays in first place. Steaua moves to six ahead of a round six match at Napoli. It's up to Napoli, winless to this point, to get three at Utrecht and regain control of their knock-out round destiny. With Utrecht closing their group play at Anfield, a win for them brings fewer certainties, though it would also move them to six points.
Group L
CSKA Sofia (Bulgaria) versus Besiktas (Turkey) Thursday, 1:00 p.m. Eastern
Rapid Wien (Austria) versus Porto (Portugal), Thursday, 1:00 p.m. Eastern
As is the case in Portgual, Porto is in control, holding a three point lead on Besiktas going into the fifth round. Porto has already clinched a knockout round birth, and if their lead remains in tact at the end of Thursday, they'll have clinched first place, too. Besiktas, four points ahead of both Rapid and CSKA, confirms their own knockout round spot with a win.

According to an article in Technology Review, a pilot project at San Mateo Medical Center in California is using an avatar in physical therapy sessions. The sympathetic avatar named Molly reportedly guides physical therapy patients through prescribed exercises, and the goal for this new platform is to treat patients at home using their TV, phone, or desktop. The new technological aid is from Calif-based company Sense.ly.
The Technology Review report notes that the avatar can modulate her tone of voice and facial expressions, interview PT patients in English or Spanish, and use the 3-D cameras of a Kinect device to guide patients through their rehabilitation. The avatar software also tracks a patient's progress over time and creates a transcript of the voice interaction, as well as issue red flags for things that require immediate attention.
The news report indicates that the software is also being tested for a number of other uses, such as performing intake and assessment in a waiting room of an addiction and detox clinic and advising patients with a high blood-sugar reading what to eat on that particular day. The use of an avatar was also used to teach CPR in a high school program and was found to be effective in identifying preconception risks for certain groups of women.
Paul Carlisle, director of rehabilitation services, explains, "We don't want to replace therapists. But in some ways, it does replace the need to have them there all the time."

A Longview woman going through a divorce is accused of starting a fire in the home she still shares with her husband.
Longview police arrested Julie Kell, 42, Friday night.
Officers said she was intoxicated and mad at her husband when she set fire to their garage on Terumi Lane.
Investigators said the suspect sent her husband text messages threatening to start the fire. He drove home and on the way spotted fire trucks heading to his house, according to police.
Officers arrived at around 8:20 p.m. Friday and arrested Kell. She was first taken to the hospital, according to police, because of her level of intoxication.
No one was hurt in the fire and it did not spread to the house. The garage was badly damage, but no cars were inside at the time.
Police said the couple rents the home.
Kell is charged with first-degree arson.

When Journalism Training Isn't Enough
'… our newsrooms are impoverished, and it will take much more than training courses to correct the situation.'
By Sue Valentine
South Africa
Last year several requests came from two foreign media trainers to help them identify candidates for courses specializing in public health journalism (especially HIV/AIDS) that they intended to offer to journalists in the developing world. In both cases, my reply was that the handful of journalists who cover public health for public radio or various newspapers in South Africa had already been to courses that taught the science of HIV or explored how to "humanize" the AIDS epidemic. Unless the proposed training was going to offer something different, it would be a redundant exercise—at least in our country, where there has been no shortage of journalism institutes and nongovernmental organizations providing workshops and seminars on HIV/AIDS and coverage of the pandemic.
The plethora of courses on HIV/AIDS coverage is not to suggest that we, in the South African media, do not need to improve the way in which HIV/AIDS and other public health issues are covered. Far from it. Poor understanding of science and medicine among journalists has contributed to public confusion. Add to the mix unhealthy doses of AIDS denial, allegations of racism, the false dichotomy of treatment vs. nutrition, and the need for well-informed, contextualized reporting, and analysis is all the more acute.
But a handful of health reporters, however well trained, cannot alone address the shortcomings of newsrooms that don't have dedicated health reporters nor influence the way in which political or economics reporters might understand or cover these issues.
Complex Journalism Issues
List the broader issues facing our society, and one quickly realizes that it is not just in the coverage of HIV/AIDS that the media is failing the public. The challenges confronting journalists in newsrooms in southern Africa are far more complex than can be addressed by preformulated courses based on external perceptions of what journalists in the developing world need.
In a survey of health coverage in print and radio in five African countries (Senegal, Cameroon, Kenya, Malawi and Botswana), the African Women's Media Centre reports that while there was a high demand for quality health reporting and a healthy amount of selfcriticism among journalists, the desire for change was offset by a variety of factors that hamper the media, such as the pressure on state-owned media to toe a government line or the pressure on the commercial media to adjust their editorial content to keep advertisers and sponsors happy.
Profitability is a growing factor affecting how newsrooms function and the quality of news coverage. In the case of public broadcasters, the intention to "inform, educate and entertain" might be the stated mandate, but increasingly public broadcasters are under pressure to attract advertisers and audiences. In South Africa, the public broadcaster is as reliant on advertising as any of its commercial rivals. Quality program content on public radio that relies on research and time in the field to collect interviews and sounds is costly to produce. In the past two years, much of this kind of programming has been eliminated from the 16 public service radio channels making way for much cheaper program options such as phone-in talk radio.
Better training of journalists will not address such challenges that are management decisions but that contribute to a diminishing of the role of journalists and a shrinking space for informed public debate.
Bluntly put, our newsrooms are impoverished, and it will take much more than training courses to correct the situation. Beat reporters (with the exception of the political and economics desks) have all but disappeared. A handful of newsrooms retain a health reporter or an education reporter but, more likely than not, stories that require context and background are handled by a thinly stretched, revolving group of young reporters with minimum knowledge of the complexities of health or education policy and practice.
At a leading Johannesburg daily newspaper, the flagship in its group, the night editor can sometimes find himself with only two journalists to call upon to cover the news. Budgets for motor vehicles or drivers to take reporters into the field have shrunk, resulting in greater reliance on the telephone and Internet as principle sources of information. Such working conditions allow for little more than basic newsgathering in the quickest, cheapest way.
In these circumstances, it is unsurprising that "press release journalism" becomes commonplace as newsrooms simply react to events around them without exploring, probing and questioning.
Reinventing Training
Trainers might readily identify the problems with such practices and enthusiastically compile training courses to encourage investigative journalism, specialist coverage, or feature writing. However, in the context of understaffed newsrooms and a perpetual sense of plugging the gaps, there is little space for quality journalism to flourish, no matter how keen young journalists may be. And journalists will remain young, contributing to the "juniorization" of the profession. Poor salaries and the lack of any career path see many talented journalists, often the recipients of costly training, move out of the newsroom and into more lucrative opportunities in government communications, public relations, or the advertising industry.
In this environment, courses that are designed to inspire journalists or encourage creative approaches to the craft are more likely to be exercises in frustration if, at the end of the training, they return to under-resourced newsrooms running on skeleton budgets.
There are no neat answers, but perhaps it is time to consider alternatives to previous definitions of what journalism training courses can provide. We have to address the lack of resources in newsrooms and find ways to ensure that we keep journalists practicing as journalists so that we reap the benefit of experience and expertise. Concurrent with journalism training that emphasizes ethical, accurate, analytical news coverage, there has to be an injection of funds to hire sufficient staff to produce a quality product.
Does this imply greater focus on the need for innovative management training—not in how to squeeze greater profits from the newsroom—but in how to create the conditions in which quality journalism can thrive?
Are there short-term measures to encourage journalists to stay in the profession but to enjoy a respite from the daily grind through channeling funds into journalism fellowships rather than training courses?
Whatever the approach, it must begin with adequate recognition and understanding of the conditions in which journalists in the developing world are working. It cannot be business as usual. It should not come in the form of preconceived courses that satisfy the trainer but which fail to meet the needs and context of the trainees.

Big Clits versus Small Clits
Does clit size determine pleasure?
From Nora
From Jojo
From Liza
From Deborha
I am always worried when I meet a guy. First I do not enjoy intercourse because of that hurting feelings. And I don't dare to say, if you want to masturbate me instead. This have made me a little uninterested of guys. (But) I'm not complaining as long as I enjoy to do it the needful way I like best. "My Way"
From Kasey
I'm so glad I found this discussion, reading about other women with large clits so I know I'm not a freak or a hermaphrodite as I have joked about with my boyfriend (which he doesn't like because he says I'm beautiful). It helps a lot knowing I'm not alone, and that other men actually like/prefer them! I think I want to start a support group for women with large clits who are insecure.
Oh, and on the debate on whether clit size effects orgasms, I doubt it. I'm big and so are my orgasms, but my friend is tiny and she has big ones too. I don't think it matters at all but I just know my pleasure center is easier to find.

Busch continues at the nightclub through July 12.
Here's how the event is billed: "The acclaimed actor/Tony-nominated playwright and drag legend returns to 54 Below with a show chock full of outrageous personal stories, original characters and classic songs; all performed with his own unique form of glamour. Charles Busch continues to delight and re-define his craft as a master humorist, entertainer and camp icon. The author of dozens of hit plays (Tale of the Allergists Wife, Die! Mommie! Die!, Psycho Beach Party, The Divine Sister & Vampire Lesbians of Sodom to name but a few), Busch is joined by his longtime musical director Tom Judson. Expect laughter, music, tears and sequins."
"I'm sincerely just loving my foray into cabaret over the past few years," Busch said in a previous statement. "I feel like I'm back in vaudeville. My musical director, Tom Judson, and I have traveling everywhere from New Orleans and Atlanta to Three Oaks, Michigan. During the next few months we'll be playing Feinstein's in San Francisco and the Copa Room in Palm Springs and now it looks like we're going to be doing our act in Rio and Paris, France!"
He wrote the book for the Broadway mounting of Taboo, and he also penned the screenplays for and starred in the films "Die, Mommie, Die" and "Psycho Beach Party." His noted plays include The Lady in Question, Red Scare on Sunset and the long-running Vampire Lesbians of Sodom. Busch's Off-Broadway appearances also include The Third Story and Die, Mommie, Die.

stainless steel Leaking IndirectsIs there a stainless steel indirect that doesnt leak after a couple of years. I had switched to Lochinvar Squire but had a leaker after 2 years. The Buderus that looked like the boiler seemed the most reliable to me. Lochinvar told me that it probably was just a bad weld or glass coating. I always come off all tank connections with brass first then switch to copper or black on the boiler in and out. Domestic side brass to copper then pex. Exspanion tank.

SS indirect...water heater don't have a glass coating. I have started using the Weil Mclain Aqua-plus water htrs. They have an anode rod in them to combat w/ the corrosion process.

I have installed.....several hundred Triangle Tube Smart series indirects and have never had one leak...
several Super Stor indirects and have never had one leak....
a few Crown indirects and have never had one leak...
years ago (about 15-20) Amtrol had a design flaw and we had almost all leakers after a few years on their WH-7P... they re-designed their coil, and paid labor to replace... was good about it and I continued to install them until the digital smart controls all died due to internal relays that failed... Very few covered under warranty... moved over to TT and haven't looked back.
I like them as their a tank within a tank, not a coil and have very low pressure drop.

Read the directions...I apparently missed the part about making sure to put a potable expansion tank on when you are on a city service, or if there is a check valve between tank and house expansion tank. So when that 80+ lbs hammers on and off when a valve is turned off and on in the house it apparently destroys the seals on the PLUS tanks or tank within the tank design. I found that out the hard way. They still warrantied it but you only get one replacement.

A scary post-bailout prediction
From Mark Cuban, who knows a thing or two about money:
You heard it here first. If the BailOut has not requirements for how the money is used, this is how its going to go down:
1. The Bailout Hits. Euphoria on Wall Street. Stock Market goes up.
2. Banking Balance Sheets improve, Banks of all types say the problem is solved. They loan money to their biggest corporate and very rich clients. They have to, they dont want to lose their business. Of course, those corporate and rich clients borrow as much as they possibly can because they dont know when and if credit will dry up.
3. Wall Street Analysts say they are optimistic that retail sales will be stable with last year, and possibly even up as consumer confidence has shown increases
4. We start to hear complaints from consumers and small businesses that loans are not available to them , or when they are, the terms are unreasonable.
5. Dec sales for retailers are below last year and below analyst expectations. Retailers say its due to lack of credit availability to consumers.
6. Mortgage default rates start to increase
7. Stocks fall hard
8. The Treasury Department says it underestimated the amount of money that needed to be pumped into the system in order to create liquidity for MainStreet. They announce they will use the ANTICIPATED profits from the 1st bailout to fund the next 500B of bailout
9. They time the 2nd 500B "investment for the taxpayers" to be on the 101st day of the new administration.
10. The Recession grinds on and on and on
Bottom line is this. If the 1st Bailout doesn't set standards for allocation of proceeds so that corporate clients dont consume all the liquidity from the BailOut, those corporate clients will consume all the credit. They would be stupid not to try and take all the credit extended to them.
In addition, there must be credit standards set so consumers know what will allow them to qualify for loans (assuming there is any cash available for consumers) . The last thing we need is the redlining and redzoning of consumers. It may be 20pct down for a home and a given credit score. 10pct down for a car and a minimum credit score. But there needs to be some minimum standards so that consumers know if they are being taken advantage of, and banks feel the pressure to loan the money to qualified consumers. This needs to happen
I dont know why anybody thinks that the Bankers who got us into this mess are going to take 700B of taxpayer money and know how to loan us out of this mess. It makes no sense at all. We need to set standards for how the money will be used by banks.

removing the plate from the tin bath, the tin plating was dull.
I polished it with dry cotton balls, then used
a small paintbrush to fill the etched lines with
enamel paint (One Shot brand). I used tiny scraps
of paper to carefully wipe the enamel filling flush
with the surface, then polished off the excess
with small scraps of plain copy paper.
After the paint dried, I shaped the panel by
drilling holes for the switch and buttons, and
filing out the rectangular areas for the display.
I also used tin-plated copper, painted with
black enamel, for my Model 13, shown at right.
Instead of using Nixie tubes, this clock shows

Apparently, there is a new trend in the natural community of using old-fashioned hair grease for twist-outs. I'm curious about this because for many naturals it comes down to ingredients in the product. Most classic hair grease products are known to have mineral oil and other unnatural ingredients in them. This leads me to ask, has hair grease been revamped with better ingredients?
If you're using hair grease for twist-outs, does the hair feel greasy to the touch? Does the twist-out last longer? I'm not passing any judgment on anyone who uses old-fashioned hair grease, I'm just curious about the come back that hair grease is making. I remember over a month ago, one of the main complaints from many naturals about Tyra's Type F Youtube channel (to my understanding the videos for natural hair are being redone for the channel), was that one of the women was promoting hair grease and pomade for use on an Afro. What has changed between then and now?
I'm not sure if I could ever go back to hair grease because I would imagine that it would just weigh my fine to medium hair strands down. As far as the ingredients are concerned, I prefer natural oils over mineral oil and petrolatum.
Like I said, this is all out of curiosity. If you're using hair grease on your natural hair, let me know what you like about it, and why you went back to using it?

The Texas Stars announced Saturday that they were releasing defenseman Cam Barker from his professional tryout contract.
The 26-year-old Barker, the third overall pick in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, had 8 points (3 goals, 5 assists) and a minus-5 rating in 23 games with Texas this season.
Barker attended Texas' training camp on a tryout and then signed a 25-game professional tryout contract at the end of camp. The Stars, who hit the 25-game-mark tonight in Abbotsbford, could have signed Barker to a 25-game extension.
Earlier this week the Stars signed forward Taylor Vause to a second 25-game professional tryout contract. Vause, like Barker, signed a 25-game PTO at the end of Texas' training camp. Vause has 1 goals, 0 assists and a minus-9 rating in 10 games with the Stars this season.
The departure of Barker leaves Texas with six defensemen on the roster, which opens the door for a player to be called up from the Idaho Steelheads of the ECHL.

Per California Vehicle Code Section 40220, the following procedures are to be followed for contesting parking citations. This mechanism provides you with three (3) levels of review for your parking citation and must be followed in order.
Request for Investigation 1. Pursuant to CVC Section 40215(a), you may first contest a parking citation by completing the Request for Parking Citation Cancellation form. 2. You must, within 21 days of receiving the citation or within 14 days of the mailing of the notice of a delinquent parking violation, mail or deliver this form to: Pismo Beach Parking Department 585 Dolliver Street Pismo Beach, CA 93449 Attn: Parking Citation Contest
Upon receipt of this form, a supervisor from the Parking Department will conduct an investigation into the circumstances pertaining to the issuance of the citation.
a. If based on the results of the investigation the supervisor is satisfied the violation did not occur or that the registered owner is not responsible for the violation, the citation may be canceled. On the other hand, the supervisor may find the violation did occur or that the registered owner is responsible for the violation. You will be notified of the results of the investigation.
Request for Administrative Hearing 1. Once you receive the results of the investigation and you are still not satisfied, you may request an Administrative Review Form within fifteen (15) days of the investigation results being mailed to you from the Parking Department. You must then send in or deliver the request for an Administrative Review Form along with the parking penalty by check or money order to the Parking Department. A hearing will then be conducted and you will be notified of the results. If you are exonerated, the parking penalty will be returned to you with the final decision.
a. You may pick up the form at the Parking Department, call and have one sent to you, or download a form from this website. b. The Administrative Review is an informal hearing to determine whether or not the officer had reasonable cause and authority to issue the parking citation. You will be notified as to the date and time of the hearing and you have the right to attend on your behalf. You may also bring any witness or representative.
Appeal to Municipal Court 1. After you have received the final decision resulting from the Administrative Review and are still not satisfied with the finding, you may appeal the decision to the San Luis Obispo Municipal Court within twenty (20) days after the mailing of the Administrative review findings (CVC 40230). The matter will be heard "de novo."
a. You must appear at the San Luis Obispo Municipal Court and obtain a Notice of Appeal. The court will affix a case number and set a court date. The court will also collect a $25.00 filing fee. You will be instructed to serve a copy of the Notice to Appeal to the Pismo Beach Parking Department. b. The Parking Department will send the court a copy of the parking citation and documentation from the Administrative Review as prima facie evidence of the facts. c. The court de novo hearing does not provide for appearance of the citing officer or any other member of the Parking Department. You may elect to subpoena anyone you wish to testify. d. The Municipal Court will notify the Parking Department of the ruling on the appeal. If the court decides in your favor, the Parking Department will return the parking penalty to you.

It's one of those things you see that just doesn't make sense on the surface.
On two major corridors leading into Fort Myers -- Colonial Boulevard and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard -- there are signs posted which read: "Exiting the City of Fort Myers."
A short distance down the road, drivers are told they are "Entering the City of Fort Myers."
Megan in Lehigh Acres wants to know: "Why are these signs posted?"
I found out they were posted at the request of law enforcement. There are pockets of land not included within the city limits of Fort Myers.
In one area in the central part of the city, there's essentially a donut hole where a section of Broadway Avenue has never been annexed into the city.
The lines have been in place for years. So why are the signs needed now?
"I don't think it's obvious though where the city limits are," Saeed Kazemi told me. "We want to make sure that you know when you are in the city and when you are not."
He ordered the signs as the director of Public Works for the City of Fort Myers.
Kazemi said the signs are really for law enforcement. Lee County Sheriff's deputies have jurisdiction over the entire county. However, Fort Myers Police officers are only allowed to write tickets within the city limits.
"Police were ticketing the people and they were going to court," Kazemi said. "They were proving in court that the ticket they got wasn't in the city limits."
FMPD requested the signs after a case involving DUI was thrown out of court. An officer made the stop in one of those pockets of county land which is outside their jurisdiction.
When it comes to issues of public safety, a spokesperson for FMPD says forget the city limits. An officer isn't going to pass by a vehicle crash just because it's in one of those pockets of county land.
The big distinction here is officers can't issue citations outside their jurisdiction.
"That is a very good question. It never really dawned on me. I'm glad you're bringing that to my attention," one pedestrian mentioned while watching us shoot video of the signs.
Now everyone knows where the lines are drawn.

Busy with Broncos, linebacker Von Miller irks magistrate but finally arrives for traffic plea
By Martha Neil
Oct 28, 2013, 04:30 pm CDT
So it's the judge who makes this a spectacle. By denying a motion to avoid the appearance. And ridiculous is not a legal term to be used from the bench. Sounds like this is a crony judge who should be removed
By Todd on 2013 10 29, 1:01 pm CDT
@ 1: It's fair. Most jurisdictions require you to either appear personally or file for a continuance for such hearings so that you can appear personally. If they'd waived personal appearance for Miller, but the rest of us "little people" had to show up, you can bet it would be on the news at 11:00—or whenever they have news in CO.
As for "ridiculous," even judges have limits; and "blowing off" the court is always bad form.
By BMF on 2013 10 29, 6:28 pm CDT
It's traffic court. You can usually do the whole thing by mail. It's more like a crony judge that wanted to be a big man.
Ridiculous. This is the problem judges are not there to blow off steam. They do not get that option. If they are the type of individual that need to blow off steam they are not judge material. Read the rules anything that diminishes the judiciary is not allowed. Unfortunately we allow buffoons to be judges because in this case they know someone. Not unlike Scalia

Newbury & Thatcham Ladies 4 Reading 3as 0By Reading Hockey Club • Nov 13th, 2012 • Category: L3A, Match Reports
On Saturday 10th November, Reading Ladies 3As travelled to a very chilly Newbury and Thatcham for a late push back.
The team started quite well and contained a good Newbury and Thatcham side who had several chances which were saved and dealt with well by the Reading defence. Unfortunately the pressure on the Reading goal continued and in a frantic 15 minute period in the 1st half, Newbury and Thatcham scored 4 goals with no reply to leave the score a very flattering 4-0 at half time.
Reading regrouped at half time and came out fighting, playing some good attacking hockey, winning short corners, hitting the post and missing the goal by a whisker on various occasions. However, they were very unlucky not to score any goals. Defensively, they played with much more maturity in the 2nd half and Newbury and Thatcham were contained and the score remained 4-0 throughout.

The System is a very innovative binding option that will appeal to riders on all levels. It is a truly custom fitted binding that will allow riders to easily fine tune their riding stance and style. This universal appeal means that the System will be your ultimate binding no matter where your riding takes you.Pros:
- Solid construction
- Ultra customizable from all control points
- Quick "in and out" entry method
- Multiple boot options for different rider preferences
- Works for riders of all skill levels
- Bulky appearance
- Slight learning curve for newer riders
Full Review of the Hyperlite System Binding
When Hyperlite first announced the release of "The System" binding in Spring 2011 it created quite a stir in the industry. The idea of a two piece boot and binding combo was a completely new concept and left a lot of riders scratching their heads. It was the first time a wakeboard binding was created with a separate base and boot.
Now, gear innovation is inevitable with any sport, but sometimes it's necessary to wait and see what has staying power. Well, here we are one year later and the System binding is still on the market, continuing to rise in popularity. So if you've been curious to try this unique new binding setup, then check out how it ranks in terms of form, fit, and functionality.
For snowboarders, the ratchet binding and boot combo in Hyperlite's "System" is not a foreign concept. Considering the vast similarities between snowboarding and wakeboarding, the System binding makes perfect sense.
The bindings were designed for adjustability, strength, and support, and with those extra options comes a little extra bulk. Although the System binding is light in weight (just over 3 lbs. for boot and binding) it has a very beefy look. There are two ratchet straps that come over the top of your already bulky boot, which may -- depending on rider preference -- seem a little cumbersome, especially if you are used to riding with standard one piece boots.
What the System binding lacks in appearance is made up for in fit. The bindings are broken into two pieces: the boot, and the high back ratcheting base plate. Both components provide customization, and adjustability to achieve one truly perfect fit. There are four different styles of boot to choose from, all of which have varying levels of flexibility depending on rider preference.
All of the boots feature heat molded liners so that your foot goes right to the same place every time, completely eliminating heel shift and toe wiggle. The base plate has an adjustable high back so that you can choose the angle you are most comfortable riding at. The ratchets can also be adjusted in length over your ankle and toe for more responsive control. The System binding is really geared toward riders who want to customize their fit and then continue fine tuning it as their skills increase.
When you first jump in the water with the System bindings on your board, you will immediately become enamored with how responsive they are. The articulating highback on the baseplate allows you to control the board with your entire leg instead of just heel and toe movement. This added control allows you to make sharper turns, pop bigger airs, and finesse your movement.
Additionally, you can be locked in and ready to ride within a matter of seconds by simply putting your boot in the baseplate, ratcheting up, and taking off. On the downside, newer riders will have a tough time getting used to the separate boot and ratchet combo, and may take a bit more effort to find that perfect fit. Nonetheless, the System is a responsive binding that will definitely take your riding to new heights.Final Word
The System boot and binding combo is worth every penny. If you are looking for a binding setup that you can easily tweak to fit your riding style, then the System is a no-brainer.
