This question is only my curiosity, but it has a solid base. O asume that most or all women can enter theyr servix with theyr finger if they want to. I have done it severat times, just to experience the feelings. If eny girl need advise howto do it, hehe is my experience. You need to squat becouse the servix need to hang down toward the vaginal entrance, (if you would try to do it by laying on your back you would only push your servix higher, and your finger becomes to short) . Than you need your myddle finger real clean, and your fingernail must be trimmed, and made smooth with the file. Than carefully locate the entrance of your servix and keep pressure on the entrance for few minutes, and it will open. Ok that is not the reason why I'm creating this silly thread. Few years ago I had regular contact with a man who asured me that he had several servical sex and tie. He explained to me that the accures becouse after the benis penetrates the servix, it only the tip, and the servix will close after a short whyle and it closes up right behind the head, and cutt of blood return, sothat the head swells and becomes purple and blue. Well, honnestly to this day I'm not sure if I believe it or not. But I have another reason, why i'm asking that question here. this forum has many great people , some have waswt experiences on many levels of sexual joy. My other encounter was about servical sex was a californian girl about 5 years ago , (only on the net ,a bestiality chatroom. That girl has driven me crazy, and explained to me in avery detale how it is to be squirted full righyt into the servix by a boer. Yes Boer. Now , I'm a sperm crazy woman, I like lots of it, but not in my mouth,nor my face, nor my breasts, but right where it belongs. I know the feelings when I ger the sperm shower internal, but it is only outside of the servix. That californian girl asured me that if the sperm is received inside the servix, it is a mindblowing experience, and a boer is lasting longer than a dog, and squirsts much more sperm than a dog. So please if someone could comment on this, it would be much appresiated. thanks
Well a boars penis is designed to get inside the cervix of the sow and yes they do cum alot. Including a very thick jelly which acts as a barier.
i smell BS Boar, maybe... man, no
zndxxx, I wonder what,,BS,, means.................
QUOTE (mewetta @ Jun 2 2009, 10:32 AM) I wonder what,,BS,, means................. boar sperm?
The cervix is not designed to be penetrated. Sure, some people are able to insert a finger part way, but many women actually find anything going into/coming out of/pressing against their cervix quite painful (a large percentage of menstral cramps are from the passing of tissue through the cervix). The human cervix is designed (with it's naturally small, flattened opening) to keep things from entering the uterus, as there is a great risk of infection if things could easily get in there.I don't think it's at all possible for a penis of a human, or dog,, etc. to enter the female cervix, it isn't at the right angle in most cases anyways (the cervix enters the vaginal canal at a 45 degree angle). A boar may be different because that is what they are designed to do, but even then, I doubt it's likely to happen with a human female.
a man's penis is not going inside anyone's cervix.i doubt if a boar's penis will either. maybe up against but not penetration.i don't think the average woman would find her cervix being forced open to be very comfortable.

Yup what the other posters have said. I was just saying that when boars mate with sows thats happens. Actual proper penetration ofthe cervix in a human female is not gonna happen.

Thanks Saerx (Sarx), , your words making sense, but perhaps you do not know all about servix penetration , and I can asure you that not all women feel pain. I can tell you that I know a woman who is masturbating with a new pencil, just cutting a little of the first adges with a pencil sharpener. We humans are all differend. Many of us are seeking a bit of extreme, just like us furies, ( in reality sex with animals is extreme sex) don't you agree ? Even the addicts starting with so called harmless marijuana, than going into stronger stuff. About mens penetrating servix seems to me a bit wide imagination, thats why I started this thread at the first place. But I'm 100% positive that some women did or do have sex with boers. At that time of my association with the californian girl, I was involved in a research on a wider scale becouse I was hooked on to. Luckily that desire of mine has evaporated, but if I had a chance than, I would have trayed. But at the same time, I had almoast dayly contact with 2 other women who had boer sex on the regular basis. One was a german woman, she had a whyte male boer called,,Boris,,. I will not mention her name here. She had Boris from very young age. In germany a pig means luck ( Schwein gehabt) means,, you have been lucky. So she got that piglet as a new years present to pring her luck. Boris became very clean and house trined, and lived inside the house. she started to play with it very early becouse that thin and long twisted penis fascinated her. In my research I found that in commercial piggeries they starting extracting seman from boers at 6 months of age. Than it ended the same way as when women starting to play with a dog penis. At the time I had regular communications with that german woman, Boris was already 2 years old and about 250 kilos haevy. I immediately objected after she admeted to me that she have sex with a 2 years old white boer becouse I already knew the from the californian girl that it is dangerous to mate with a mature boer. That she has given me the full explanation, how she did it. As I mentioned before, Boris grew as a very domesticated pet, and from early age he mated his mistress once a week or so. They sayong that pigs are smarter than dogs. But after Boris grew bigger and haevyer, also his penis grew to about 60 centimetres ( 2 foot) . Here is how she did it : All she needed to make Boris lay down on the floor or carpet, she started to sreach his belly, than she lay down next to him one of her legs stright back and between his hind legs, her other leg she pot over his hune body, and mooved in position with her vagina, and boris already started searching with his cork puller and finding his target eazyly bacouse he was useto it. Than she would moove higher or lover, and taking as much as she wanted. Here are her explanations, and I have no doubt that she was saying the truth. If she took only 8 0r 9 inches,,,,, the mating would last much longer becouse Boris would seek full penetration. Than I sayed to her that it is not possible to take the lot of that long thing. But she contradicted me and explayned to me. Boers penis is a thin flexible shaft, once it reached the far end of her uterus, it doubbles up and fasing toward the entrance again, so that it is actualy doubble inside the uterus. But there could be problems. Becouse the tip of the penis if constantly turning it feels line having an Eggbeater inside and turned on in slow motion. The uncomfortable part is if he finds the emall entrance of the womans eg tubes, (one of each side of her uterus) than the she she would jump becouse that is a sharp pain. The other woman was a Danish married woman was in real trouble and ended up in a menthal hospital. They owed a piggery, and her husband was turned on by waching her under a big boer. She always taking the boer the doggy style, and at first it was fun for her to. But soon, her husband demanded that she mates several time on some days, and with sevewral boers. That was the disaster. The boer, after he has deposited all the semen, he squirts a thick gluey jelly to stop the semen going to waste and block the servix like a plug. Becouse the woman had to much of the jelly stuff inside her , becouse there was no time to draine of the old stuff, it acommulated inside her, and she had to be hospitalized and clean out her uterus. Can you imagine the shame for that poor woman,, and howto explain it to the doctors ? Ahe was cleaned out 3 times in 4 months, and fialy she had blood poisoning becouse her uterus started to digest boers sperm. Than her husband declared het as ,,Unclean,, and never touched her again, and she became insane. My last contact with her was as she was in a menthal institution. I hope that this did not shock you, becouse I was shocked as I learned about her ordeal.
I don't doubt that some women enjoy cervical play -- as in my post I agreed there are some women who can penetrate their cervix on a small scale.I'm still a bit sceptical about boar-penis-cervix-penetration stories though...

Sarx, I understand your sceptycism, this is far from ordinary,m and Im not trying to convince you about something rather disgusting. But I will try to convince you that there are women who are mating with boers. If I could explain to you how much research I have done on this subject, you would belive that this type of sex exists. For example, anal knoting by a big dog, is hell of a pain, as it was for me. But many people are still practecing it. Even horse, as MRS.BEAST is saying, ,,,if you are having sex once a year, than you will be hurt once a year, but if you are doing it often, than you get useto it. I'm talking about the huge Flare at the top of horses Phallus. It is much much bigger that any dogs knot, and even some men are taking it analy,,,,, deeper than any woman I have seen on the videos. But if you like to look deeper into this subject,,,, there is a video made in Danmark, not by the famous Bodil, but by another woman, the video is fairly clear if you find the right copy. It is showing the woman on her back, on a seagrass mattrece, to huge boer on top of her, belly on belly, but the boer is resting its front legs on the bed , (not on that skinny woman) . Than you can see the boers long and thin penis penetrating about a foot or so, and the flexible shaft is bending as he is pushing forward,and the tip must have reached the bottom. Than you see it inside totaly, and the woman is even mooving up the meet him or take more of it. So there is no other way than to bend and doubble inside her. That video still exist on some sites its called,,pig rape,, Ok I will stop putting my wired toughts and experiences into peaples minds. Cheers

I will relate a story I got from a lady I used to chat with online. She got a frantic phone call one night from a close friend who explained her husband was having sex with her and became ' stuck ' in that he could not move back without causing her extreme pain. She was rather petite while her husband was of medium build but, according to her, very well hung. This lady went to her friend's house and had to enter by climbing in the bathroom window. She found her way to the bedroom and found them both still hopelessly joined. After some discussion she got some ice from the freezer and applied it to the base of his penis so that his erection would subside. This is what happened after a while and he was able to slowly and carefully remove his penis from her. It seems they were trying a different position whereby her legs were up on his shoulders and then he pushed down folding her in half as it were. This enabled very deep penetration and, apparently, enabled his penis head to enter her cervix. That was the cause of the pain inflicted when he tried to thrust. That position was deleted from their regular sex sessions. The alternative to my friend's successful intervention would have been a trip to ER and extreme embarrassment in trying to explain. I was rather sceptical about the possibility of this happening but was assured it was a true account. You decide whether or not to believe and remember, we don't all fit into the normal ( whatever normal might be).
ZZferret, thanks for your contribution. Actualy I heard a simular story, but I did put it as humbuk. In my town there sopouseto be two married women stuck by a double dldoe, and ambulance had to pich them up, and the ambulance could not deside howto take them on the same streacher. But I did dismiss it, becouse I could not imagine how it could be possible.
Sarx. this is a message you should read, please go to google and write in the bar,,,,,,,stuck by having sex? ,,,,,, I found 15.000.000 responces. Its impossible to read the lot, but the first few should be enough, cheers
Or try to search,,coitus captivus,,
I don't think it's "disgusting" and I'm not doubting that people have sex with boars and other large animals such as horses -- I know full well that it happens, I'm just in doubt of penetration of the cervix and uterus. My first instinct is to guess that the (flexable) boar penis is just bending within the vaginal canal rather than the uterus itself, as anatomically, the penis is more likely to end up in the tented area of the vaginal canal behind the cervix, which can expand *a lot* during sex, if necessary.I'll be fair and do the google searches you suggested though.
no male penis is going into anybody's cervix
after a good deal of net searching (including some porn video sites) I can not find any proof that cervical penetration is possible by a human male's penis. The vaginal passage is designed to prevent this. From my reading it seems that a female human who is not sexually aroused will have her cervix about 2-3 inches (on average) within her vagina. When she becomes aroused it lifts and the back wall of the passage allows for another few inches of penetration. There were several mentions of a guy causing pain while trying to penetrate during sex because the girl's muscles had not relaxed, thus causing the penis to bump against the cervix. The cervix is very tight and would require medication of some sort to loosen to the extent that it could be penetrated by any thing above the cell size. The idea of cervical penetration being pleasurable is a bit off as one of the main causes of cramping during a woman's period is tissue passing through the cervix.I do keep an open mind though on this topic as all humans are different, some feels pleasure and pain differently then others and some are capable of doing things with their bodies that others could not.Now when it comes to a boar and a human mating, again I would have a hard time imagining cervical penetration though it would seem far more likely then human/human penetration. Consider this. a girl who can not been stimulated in any sexual manner gets down onto all fours to allow a boar to mount her, her cervix is now on the bottom wall of her vaginal passage about 3 inches in partially/mostly blocking the end of that passage. The boar's thin penis would most certainly strike it but as the same time the small size, flexibility, and length of it would also make it move around the cervix to push into the area behind it (not through it) more easily then a human male. From every video I've seen of pigs mating, the end of their penis (the cork screw part) is soft so it would lack the stiffness to force its way into any thing. Another fact is that a boar will stop thrusting once he has gotten in/near the cervix, allowing his penis to twist about to do the work.While it is a very hot thing to imagine, I will have to say no on this topic until some one can present me with a video to prove its possible. I'm not saying I need a scope or some thing pushed into the vagina to show it (you can buy them at some porn stores) but simply seeing a boar mount, go through the motions for the usual length of time and then dismount. Part the labia and show that little or no cum is running out. Since boars cum A LOT if there was cervical penetration then that cum would not be present as it would be all stored within the uterus.

Thanks killjoy08, I've come to pretty much the same conclusions... I really can't believe this until there's strong evidence (scope photos, video evidence such as described above, or evidence through a peer reviewed source... I would imagine that the story of the woman who had to have her uterus cleaned out would've made it into some medical journal, somewhere, if it was accurate).Otherwise... this sounds about as possible as trying to push a foam water noodle into a pop bottle, from across the room.

Just wanted to say. It is perfectly normal that all humans are sceptical about enything they do not see, hear, feel, or experience. Especialy the things that can not be mesured, dated, especialy if a prize tag can not be pu on it. I did not experience thoes thing, so why did I believe ? Perhaps the answer is ; becouse I was turned on by the tought that it would happen to me. So I wanted to believe. thanks for your interest. Thies is a great community.

Thies is a great community.As I said I am open minded on the subject, I've seen humans do things I did not think 'humanly' possible so I am not ruling it out. I've never been much good at 'blind faith' as I'm very scientific in my way of thinking. I find interspecies (not just human/animal, but any different species) mating a very interesting and the thought of the human body working differently during it to accommodate the other species is even more of a turn on.So please do not let some folks' skepticism deter you from posting about your experiences as most simply have yet to experience them themselves. Many thought that mating with a male dolphin would cause internal injuries but in a thread some kind ladies offered up pictures to prove that wrong. Eventually some thing will come along to prove cervical penetration is both possible and not painful and we'll all look back to your original post and say "Yep, she was right after all."
Cervical tie…cervical fisting… cervical entering …While this subject is very erotic to a great many people it is not a safe viable possibility. Mewetta, I noted that you state in your profile that you are a female….. hmmmm Squatting does not bring the cervix closer to the opening of the vagina. All sexually active women are (I hope) aware of the position adopted for the dreaded "pap" test. The stirrups on the table bring the legs back and open to bring the cervix forward to aid visualization and ease of performing the test … A procedure I have been on both ends of … It takes much more than brief pressure to open the cervix… and most women experience discomfort, some pain, and some faint from a reaction called Vasovagal Syncope. As for "masturbation with a new pencil" …. I have a great deal of difficulty with your unsafe suggestion to other forum members. Infections that would begin in the uterus travel quickly to the fallopian tubes and from there to the peritoneal cavity inside the body. The result of the infection would be at the very least be sterility, and at the worst death. Medical procedures that involve the intrusion into the cervix are done in a sterile manner. In a medical procedure, the cervix can be dilated (opened) to allow entrance of a curette (used to remove the lining of the uterus) , insertion of an IUD ( to prevent pregnancy), to sample the tissue or many other purposes. As for penetration of the cervix by a boar's penis, I concur with Särx, the vagina does change shape and is very stretchable especially during sexual arousal. If it were penetrated one would see a great deal of blood, both from the irritated cervix and also from the disturbance of the endometrial lining of the uterus. There is a medical condition called a uterine prolapse, the ligaments supporting the uterus become lax. The uterus descends down into the vagina and can protrude thru to be visible externally. This condition is very uncomfortable, putting pressure on the bladder, increasing the risk of infection, and making sexual intercourse uncomfortable. Hysterectomy is the most common treatment. Just for curiosity I did Google coitus captivus… I do not consider the "Jamaica Online Star" to be a reputable medical journal…. And even they claimed that the issue was one of vaginal tightening …..
Bravo Caduseus Dawn. that is a very scientific explanation. Acording to scince, the Bee should not be able to fly, but it does. You are the first one to doubt me femenity. I can asure you that if I squat and open my legs, than put my knees close to my chin, than push as if giving birth, I can see the uterus, if I part my vaginal entrance, and if I touch what what I see, it is deffenitely the uterus, but not the servix entrance. Please tell me, is your medical knowledge about humans or veterinary ?
Science is about updating knowledge based on discoveries from evidence and experiments. What you quoted is from 1934. This is from 2005:http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlere...i?artid=1312389Science has solved the mystery of bee flight

Mewetta , What you describe sounds like vaginal mucosa. If you wish to truly know what it is you are seeing, make an appointment with your Physician and ask. As to my medical knowledge, my practice is the care of humans. I however have cared for the medical needs of the animals in my life, with the exception of surgical intervention. I do consult a veterinarian when the needs are beyond my scope of practice and knowledge base. My life has been enriched greatly with the creatures I have been blessed to know.
I'm also female and will agree that squatting, with the legs spread will shorten the vaginal canal in general (and it's not that far off of a position from how you would be positioned for a pap smear, the way I do it anyways), which does allow for easier access to, well everything in there, including the cervix -- but cervix position changes over the course of the cycle as well so sometimes in this position the cervix can still be quite high up. There is no possible way to examine one's own uterus via this position though, unless you have some serious medical issue/abnormality such as was described above.
Sarx and Caduceus Dawn, Thanks for the adwise, I will make apointmet today, I'm bid worried now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Let us know how the appointment goes, I hope it's nothing serious and that all's fine!
Please don't take offence but from what I understand of our biology there are places things should not be put for very obvious reasons which have already been mentioned here so I think this idea is a red herring, a good rumour but nothing else, yes we know guys here can and do take on stallions far deeper than ladies mainly due to us only having one useable entrance and yes I do partake but only the plastic kind(so far) and to get the whole length in takes both time and practice, the risk if I rush is huge and don't fancy being carted to A&E with a stallion's dildo up my arse so far it's up against my diaphragm and yes taking my time is way more fun, please don't take the risk of doing what you have found, if it is a pack of lies then you will most certainly be in danger on doing ireperable damage to yourself, it's not worth the risk now is it ?

XXL Lists "The Women Of Tupac"
Jada Pinkett-Smith and Keisha Morris are among the people named in "The Women Of Tupac."
XXL has created a list naming "The Women Of Tupac" in an article published today (June 16), Tupac's birthday.
"It's not secret that Tupac was a master when it came to the ladies," XXL says of its list. "Although only married one time, Tupac always seemed to have a flock of ladies in his corner whether it was a friend, rumored lover, fiancee or wife."
Rosie Perez is named in the list. Perez has denied romantic involvement with the emcee. Another Tupac friend who has denied any romantic link is Jada Pinkett-Smith, who is also on the list. The two were friends and schoolmates and they appear together in a rendition of Will Smith's "Parents Just Don't Understand" below.
Kidada Jones, Tupac's former fiancee, is also on the list, followed by Jasmine Guy, who was rumored to be his lover, according to XXL.
Tupac's former wife, Keisha Morris, also appears on the list. The couple married in 1994 and their marriage was annulled after 10 months, according the publication.
To view the full list, click here.
Recently, BET also made a list about Tupac, naming 10 trends he "sort of" started.

Spoon Shop
Click here for the Wooden Spoon Shop with merchandise that ranges from stylish polo-shirts to trendy fleeces & t-shirts
'White Line Fever' is a bespoke programme written and designed by Keith Fleming of the Chiefs community department which bids to assist young people who have issues with anger, communication and frustration and help gear those problems into positive outcomes. Using the sport of rugby as the vehicle to drive the programme, the club's community coaches work with those on the course to learn more about controlling their aggression in the right manner, through areas such as team work, goal setting and game plans and then relating it all back to daily life and problems they may encounter.
As Keith explains: "The aim of our programme is to get the young people to control their emotions correctly and then work positively on ways to improve their lifestyle. Initially we talk to them about problems they may have come up against already, before then discussing ways of tackling the various problems and channelling it all into what we hope is a positive outlook. At times it's certainly not easy and we are realistic to the fact that not everyone involved will be a success story, but if we can help the majority of those involved, then we will be over the moon."
Exeter Chiefs staff putting the Spoon youngsters through their paces.
The Devon Committee of Wooden Spoon has funded the full £30,000 project cost and Devon Wooden Spoon chairman Bruce Priday, himself a former Exeter player said: "Over the years Wooden Spoon in Devon has invested large sums of money into capital projects, but we felt as a committee we wanted to branch out a little bit more and try and tackle some of the social issues within the region. The 'White Line Fever' project offers the perfect project as far as we are concerned. I am delighted to see the way it is working locally and from others who have seen it, the feedback I have received is that it is the best of its kind in this sector. As someone who has been involved in rugby for much of my life, helping the Wooden Spoon is kind of payback for me."
He added: "Wooden Spoon are massively impressed with how the programme has been launched and delivered - and I believe it's a massive accolade to the club, which is developing so fast, that they have been able to do this. Already I've heard of several success stories. One being a lad has gone back into main stream schooling, another is trying to work out how to qualify as a carpenter and the other is how a group of girls who never even got involved in PE lessons are now doing so and even playing rugby in a team. That's great to hear and long may it continue."

VMware sets date for mobile virtualisation
Summary: The project to let businesses virtualise smartphones and mobile devices is still in the early stages, but VMware says it is in negotiation with major handset makers
Virtualisation company VMware says its new platform to let organisations virtualise smartphones and mobile devices will show up in handsets next year.
The mobile phone is now as important to businesses at desktop computers, and acts as a mobile computer in many cases, said Stephen Herrod, VMware chief technology officer, speaking at the Interop industry conference in Las Vegas on Tuesday.
Although Herrod said the project is still in its "early stages", researchers at VMware are working on a VMware Mobile Virtualization Platform, which will create a virtual machine for mobile devices, allowing users to move their phone to different handsets.
VMware is currently negotiating with handset manufacturers and the technology should be included within new handsets at some point in 2010, said Fredrik Sjostedt, VMware EMEA director of product marketing. "The technology is there, and up and running, but it needs to be something that is on handsets when they're purchased," Sjostedt told ZDNet UK on Wednesday.
Virtualisation of mobile phones means user data on phones will be a portable file that can be moved from handset to handset. This means users who lose or damage phones will be able to retrieve data more easily, and corporate IT departments will have fewer support headaches, said Sjostedt. Potentially, companies could also run more than one virtual smartphone on a single handset.
"Configuring email, secure web access and corporate applications on phones is a nightmare, particularly where users have gone out and bought themselves a new handset. This means you have an abstraction layer between the application and the phone's operating system, so you can deploy the same image on a Nokia or a Motorola handset, very easily," Sjostedt said. "Companies will be able to say — just bring your phone to us and we will create a corporate identity that can sit alongside your personal identity. Users can still have their own files and photos, without putting corporate security or data at risk."
Mobile virtualisation will also mean handset manufacturers will be able to roll out new features and applications more quickly, Sjostedt added. At present, handset companies may spend 18 or 24 months testing new features on various platforms and phone models — but this could be eliminated using virtualised phones. VMware is currently in advanced negotiations with all the major handset manufacturers, Sjostedt said.
Mobile-phone virtualisation is probably still an idea ahead of its time, according to Clive Longbottom, a research director with Quocirca. "At the moment, there's an element of 'what's the point?', but it's certainly interesting a year or two out," Longbottom said.
Longbottom believes the most valuable application of mobile virtualisation will be in corporate settings, where it can be difficult to get full functionality from enterprise applications on mobile devices.
"I can see that a field engineer might find it useful to be working using a scheduling application, then have the ability to switch to his laptop image and see boiler plans and instructions when the need arises. Being able to divide mobile devices into different systems could potentially be very powerful," he said. "However, at the moment, I don't think devices like the iPhone are necessarily sophisticated or powerful enough to handle this kind of technology."

Blog title…
How to get in shape fast
At the age of 19 I weighed in at 350 pounds, with a waste line of over 50′
and an all around unhealthy body. Walking a flight of stairs winded me, I
could only lift my legs about waist high and I was unable to do most of the
things I really wanted to do. However during the summer of 2010 I decided
to change all that, I began eating right and started experimenting with
different kinds of exercise to see what would work best for me. I tried taibo
videos, taking my dogs for walks, going to my local gym, ect. However none
of these options gave the feeling like I got a good workout and the
repetitious nature of these exercises quickly lost my attention.
So one day thinking to myself, I wondered what kind of exercise would get
me active, get me healthy, and not involve doing the same motions 45 times
in a row like lifting weights. Then I remembered how as a kid i always
wanted to do martial arts. Watching videos with Jackie Chan and Jet Li flipping
through the air always piqued my interest but I just never had the chance
to do it as a child. So in the summer of 2010 I started my first classes at
Amerikick. They had an awesome Mixed Martial Arts program and having seen
how popular stuff like UFC had gotten I decided to give it a try. The first
day really showed me how out of shape I was. I got winded almost
immediately, my arms felt like rubber and by the end of the class I could barely lift
my arms up high enough to use my steering wheel on the drive home. Even
though my body was thrashed and my muscles ached I found myself wanting to go
back. Even if I was slower than everyone else they worked with me and
never once did I feel embarrassed because of how out of shape I was.
Fast-forward a year later and I'm still actively going to Amerikick . I
have since lost over 30 pounds and 6 inches off my waistline. Now as an adult
purple belt i have upgraded to the Black Belt Club so i can attend class 3
times a week, as 2 times was just not enough for me anymore and I feel
great. Not only have I lost 30 pounds but I feel all around more healthy than i
did before. I've gone from being winded on a flight of stairs to leaping
up 4 flights to get to class and not breaking a sweat. As well I find myself
being much more flexible than before, kicking almost 6 feet high at times
and I can almost do a split which creeps out my family considering how big
a guy I am. Additionally I'm starting to see some definition in various
areas such as my forearms and legs, places which use to be flabby are now
tighter and look great.
A year ago I never would have thought I would feel this great from taking
martial arts, and I'm sure a year from now ill be looking back, healthier
and happier, on all the time well spent at Amerikick.

GHS Announcement
GHS. REACH. CLP. OSHA. Our regulatory expertise is unparalleled. Our software delivers it to you.
In its first major change since 1983, the Hazard Communication Standard (OSHA 1910.1200) has adopted the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling (GHS), which transforms workers' rights about chemical safety from "right to know" to "right to understand." The regulation requires companies to provide detailed documentation, including safety data sheets (SDS) and product labels, to enable their employees and customers to properly handle and store hazardous chemicals. Originally created by the United Nations, GHS promotes uniform standards for authoring, labeling and document creation in more than 30 countries, and has enabled businesses in those jurisdictions to reduce risk exposure and enhance workplace safety.
IHS product stewardship experts recommend that companies treat GHS as a strategic operational concern, not a regulatory matter, because of the potential impact to manufacturing and product design.
IHS experts suggest that companies consider these factors when incorporating GHS into their operational processes:
- Communicate GHS requirements – Employees will need time to understand how to incorporate GHS-compliant processes into their daily work processes. Also, customers may need training to ensure proper handling and storage of regulated chemicals.
- Develop a work-back schedule – Determine what steps will be required to implement GHS into operational processes, and when to begin the process to ensure compliance within OSHA's designated transition period.
- Identify and address potential gaps against SDS authoring requirements – GHS requires companies to provide more detailed product information than existing HCS documentation.
- Align product with GHS classifications. Improperly classified products could lose their marketability, so companies are advised to support evaluation processes with relevant product data or product components.
- GHS is complicated – start early.
If you would like to learn more about the IHS solutions for SDS authoring and management to help you comply with the new GHS regulations, please contact us by completing the form on this page.

Committed: The Mysterious Potential of Superheroes (in praise of the vague)
The basic superhero touchstones, the ones that stick around for decades, aren't really very complicated. Over time, various individual writers and artists come along to imbue them with contemporary characteristics for a short time, but because none of these things are set in stone they just do not stick, because they aren't part of the DNA of the character. There is always space for the next writer to take things in another direction and for the reader to subject our own ideas upon the character and make him or her our own. Continue Reading »
Committed: NYCC (Warren Ellis, Talking Shop, & Photos)
As I write this, I'm slumped on the couch having just returned from New York Comic Convention. This was my second time at NYCC and I can confirm that it is a very different sort of affair from its West Coast counterparts like San Diego International Comic Con. Like New York itself, the convention is a little darker and more crowded, with less physical space for a similar amount of people and moodier lighting, the convention has an engaging urgency to it. Underneath all of the brash fun of the comic books, costumes, toys and games there is a definite New York atmosphere which bleeds through. Meeting up with all of my East Coast and European friends and colleagues in person is quite an experience too, since if we do talk, it is usually only talk online.
Committed: Jason Aaron – Macho Men for a Modern World
It takes a certain kind of character to make a violent, bloodthirsty superhero likable. It certainly isn't an easy task. There are plenty of superheroes with "codes", rules which prohibit them from killing and so forth, these are more enjoyably relatable, we all want to think that, even when pushed to the edge of endurance, we would maintain a certain moral code. It is much harder though, to create an empathic, emotionally attractive character who is totally merciless. Continue Reading »
She Has No Head! – Random Thoughts Mash-up #1
She Has No Head! meets Chad Nevett's Random Thoughts…OMG. WHAT. WILL. HAPPEN? Let's find out!
Here's the deal, I'm way behind on my novel revisions for my agent, work is crazy busy, I've been sick and I just can't seem to catch up, also my planned column for this week got pushed back due to some things beyond my control. So the benevolent Chad Nevett agreed to let me pilfer his column concept (and I should add fearless leader Brian Cronin suggested the idea to me months ago) and so here we are! Did you really want to see how the sausage gets made people? I thought not!
Random She Thought: It's She Has Random Thoughts Time! Get Excited!
Committed: Unhealthy Fantasies
The most depraved and sick comic books are healthy and possibly even necessary. This is a difficult article to write, and I'm not sure if this is going to go down too well, but it needs saying. These comic books are doing us a public service, helping us to live out our most dangerous fantasies in a safe environment which harms no one else. This way, when we can accept our unacceptable selves, we're able to let go of them and move on. Continue Reading »
She Has No Head! – Ruminations On X-23, Minx, Comics For Women vs. Comics For Girls, Twilight, And The Kitchen Sink
I was genuinely psyched to do a review for the Marjorie Liu X-23 one-shot that came out this past week. I had read CBR's seven-page preview of the issue and was pretty impressed with what I saw.
In fairness, I know very little about X-23. I know she's supposed to be a clone of Wolverine, and that on the surface, though not a bad idea in a way, it's the kind of comics gimmick that generally makes me roll my eyes. I feel like I can actually hear the meeting in which a character like X-23 is created. "No she'll be totally badass! Hardcore and unstoppable like Wolverine – but a hot young chick!" Plus, while I didn't read the issues in question, and thus can't comment specifically on how it was handled, it strikes me as a bad idea to make her a prostitute/victim of sex trafficking. I have a hard time imagining Wolverine (the original male version) being given the same treatment – which seems like a pretty standard example of Women In Refrigerators. I suppose it's another issue entirely whether an X-Men comic book is capable of dealing with such delicate and important subject matter effectively. Having not read the issues and story in question however, I'll put that aside for now.

Yeah, this randomer thoughts thing is my shtick. See how long it lasts before I get bored (or Nevett internet sues me for ripping him off (even if I did the random thoughts thing here first)(first!!!!)). Continue Reading »

Ilulissat Overview
Ilulissat means "iceberg" in Greenlandic. One look and it's obvious where the town got its name. On a clear day, the landscape is truly surreal. Hundreds of icebergs surround Ilulissat. They vary in shape from flat-topped hunks to jagged mountain peaks and in size from small doghouses to mega-cruise ships and larger. And that's just the part above the surface!
The icebergs originate from the Jakobshavn Glacier, called Sermeq Kujalleq in Greenlandic. It is the most active glacier in the world outside Antarctica. The bergs collect at the mouth of the fjord just outside the harbor.
All this ice has recently put Greenland in the news and on travelers' radar screen with concerns about global warming. The country is officially part of Denmark, though it has been self-governed since 1979. It's the largest island on earth and would stretch from New York City to Denver if tilted on its side. Roughly 85 percent of the land is covered by the polar icecap. The coastal areas, where towns like Ilulissat are located, are free of snow in summer, making exploration by cruise ship a hassle-free way to go. Beginning in 2007, this far off-the-beaten-path destination has become accessible with Hurtigruten's new ship, the Fram, spending entire summers cruising Greenland itineraries.
Ilulissat, the hub of the west coast Disko Bay region, is the country's third largest town, boasting a population of roughly 4,500 people and at least as many sled dogs. Located about 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle, it is the most accessible place to see both massive icebergs and the polar icecap. For this reason, tourism here is on the rise. The town offers a variety of hotel accommodations and half a dozen tour operators.
No roads lead to Ilulissat. Access is by air or local ferry service. Visiting cruise ships include Hurtigruten's Fram, which calls once a week in summer, and the icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov. The midnight sun shines here from late May through July. Having daylight 24/7 is a boon for sightseeing and for navigating through a sea full of icebergs.

For More Information
Greenlandic, an Inuit dialect, and Danish are the official languages. Some children learn English in school, and resident Danes usually speak English. Don't count on being understood if you stop someone on the road. Go to one of the souvenir shops instead. Greenlandic is said to be one of the hardest languages to learn. You can practice by saying "kutaa" (KO'-daa) for "hello."
Currency & Best Way to Get Money
The official currency is the Danish krone (DKK), about 5.5 to the U.S. dollar. Check
for current rates. There is an ATM at the Bank of Greenland, open weekdays 6 a.m. - 6 p.m. Good news: Many restaurants and shops take Visa and Mastercard. Bad news: Most add a 5-percent service fee for credit card purchases. It's a good idea to carry some cash. Euros are generally okay. U.S. dollars are rarely accepted.
Best Souvenir
"Tupilaks" are funny little carvings of weird looking characters, usually made from caribou antler, soapstone, driftwood, walrus tusk or bone. They were once used like hex dolls to cast evil spells. Now, they are said to ward off evil spirits, and they definitely create good fortune for their makers. If you're tempted to buy one, remember it's illegal to bring home artifacts made of certain marine mammals. Be sure to ask if you will need a CITES permit for customs.
Where You're Docked
Ships anchor outside the main harbor where there's a good chance of being right next to an iceberg. The inner harbor is filled with small fishing boats, and your ship's tenders or Zodiacs must travel at slower-than-normal speeds while taking passengers ashore. From the dock, it's a fairly short climb up the wooden stairs to reach town.
Hanging Around
Everything is a few minute's walk from the dock -- souvenir shops, hotels, museums, the bank, you name it.
Getting Around
This is a really small place. Walking is the best, easiest and fastest way to get around. You can circle the whole of Ilulissat in 25 minutes or less. Get a map from the ship or stop by just about any shop and ask for one. Most of the places you're likely to go are marked on the map. You don't need a street address, and you can't get lost.
Yes, there are taxis and occasional van-type buses if you can communicate with drivers who probably don't speak English, and if you have Danish money to pay the fare. Bus fare is 10 DKK (about $2).
Watch Out For
The sled dogs. They may look like pets, but these dogs are used to pull sleds in Greenland and are bred to work, not to be your best friend. You'll see them by the dozen, snoozing in front of practically every house. By law, they have to be tied up. Even so, if you get too close, they growl and snap at you. Beware of the really cute puppies. They can run free until they are five months old, and they may or may not be the friendly type.
Mosquitoes. Don't let all that ice fool you. Mosquitoes thrive in Greenland, particularly in July and August. Bring your bug spray and keep covered up.
Don't Miss
The town's claim to fame is ice. You don't have to go on a tour to see the huge bergs. Just walk to any high viewpoint, and you'll see them. If you want to get up close, your ship and every local tour office offers trips out to the ice in small boats.
Displays in the Knud Rasmussen Museum show typical Greenlandic dress and tell the town's history. Ilulissat was founded in 1741 as a trading post. Whale blubber and train engine oil (from whales) were shipped to Copenhagen in exchange for coffee, tobacco and guns. Moving to the present, shrimp, halibut and tourism are the main industries. The museum occupies the large red house where Arctic explorer Knud Rasmussen was born in 1879. Open 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., weekdays; 1 - 4 p.m. Sundays. Entrance: 25 DKK (about $4.65).
Souvenir shopping:
For sealskin mittens, jackets, boots and toys, check out the shop in the small, unnamed red building between Spar Bank and a shop called Sara. For high-quality crafts and souvenirs, don't miss the shop with the big sign that reads "Greenland Tours, Elke Meissner." The owner, Elke Meissner, speaks excellent English and is a wealth of information about the town and local activities.
Been There, Done That
Historic site:
The ancient settlement of Sermermiut was first inhabited more than 4,000 years ago by the Saqqaq people, who were the first people to migrate to Greenland. The Dorset culture moved in around 500 B.C. What you'll see here are the remains of 18th-century houses and ancient pre-Christian graves. You can walk to Sermermiut. Allow about two hours.
A collection of Greenlandic art can be seen at the Emanuel A. Petersen Art Gallery. The paintings, mostly by Danish artist Emanuel Petersen, depict local scenes, which means icebergs, ships and Inuit people. The photography exhibit, in particular, is worth the visit. Open Tuesday - Friday, 1 - 4 p.m. Entrance: 25 DKK (about $4.65).
Grocery shopping:
Pisiffik is a general store selling food, clothes and housewares. It's interesting to see reindeer chops in the freezer next to the halibut. Best of all is the large selection of wine. At around $20 a bottle you may want to stock up for the ship, as long as they allow you to bring alcohol onboard.
Ilulissat sits on a cliff overlooking a sea filled with spectacular icebergs, so why not pick a restaurant with windows on the waterfront? Unless you're at the far end of town, that should be a piece of cake.
Rustic with a View:
Hong Kong Cafe serves both the familiar (hamburgers for about $6.50) and the new (whale curry for $12.60). If you're not feeling adventuresome, you can always order chicken or beef curry off the English menu. The cafe is open 10 a.m. - 9 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and noon - 8 p.m. on Sundays.
Casual Snacking:
The Hotel Hvide Falk (White Falcon) is perched on a bluff overlooking the harbor. You can grab a pizza to go from $11 (small) to $18 (large).
Greenlandic Buffet Experience:
Both the Hotel Hvide Falk and the Hotel Arctic (newer, nicer and on the opposite side of town) offer typical Greenlandic buffets. Check first, as these feasts don't happen every day. The Hotel Arctic's Restaurant Ulo serves their feast on Monday evenings. A few of the specialties you'll find are musk ox soup, "mattak" (whale fat), shrimp, scallops, marinated salmon and halibut, steamed catfish, smoked whale, reindeer and lamb. The price for the meal runs about $45.
Shore Excursions
Best Overall:
Seeing icebergs from the ship is amazing. Seeing them up close from a small fishing boat is breathtaking. When the little boat shuts off its engine, you can hear the bergs rumble and crack. There's a chance of spotting seals and whales, too.
Once-in-a-Lifetime Trip:
Climb into a helicopter for fabulous views above the polar icecap and the icebergs.
For Active Travelers:
Hike to the Sermermiut settlement to see what remains of the gravesites of Greenland's first inhabitants over 4,000 years ago. A bonus of this excursion is a presentation about Greenlandic sled dogs.
Taste Sensation:
A Greenlandic buffet is a feast of local, unusual fish fare, plus meats like reindeer and musk ox. If you want to be sure of getting a chance to eat like a native, book the group excursion.
Staying in Touch
The Hotel Hvide Falk, a five-minute walk from the dock, has two computers for checking your e-mail. They charge 25 DKK (about $4.60) for 30 minutes. It's easier to use your ship's Internet cafe, and the price is probably about the same.

Plenty to talk about following last night's twin killing. Let's get to it.
The closest thing to a morning edition in the Phillies' blogosphere is Tom Goodman's Swing and a Miss, which has an excellent, detailed summary of last night's double-header.
Goodman praises Pat Gillick for the addition of Jeff Conine, who "never appears to get too high or low and always plays under controlled intensity ... At 40 years of age the fire still burns within."
Goodman also points out that the entire outfield has changed since opening day, or most of the season for that matter. That includes the addition of Shane Victorino, who has earned the right to keep a starting job, in center or in a corner.
--- Victorino isn't the only player making a name for himself as a possible part of the Phillies' future. Since his latest call-up, catcher Carlos Ruiz is starting to look more comfortable at the plate and behind it, working with fickle starter Jon Lieber last night.
Offensively, Chooch is hitting the ball hard and finished 2-for-4 with a homer and three RBIs. He's accomplished all he can in the minors, and at this stage, is likely to stick, either in Philadelphia or elsewhere in the Majors. Officials from around baseball have inquired about his availability. From a Sept. 1 article in the Daily News:
" '... Ruiz, 27, has a strong arm, pretty good catching skills and a .304 batting average with 25 homers and 109 RBI in two full seasons at Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The Phillies seem uninterested in trading Ruiz, since he and 33-year-old rookie Chris Coste might be their best options for next season.
" 'Unless we do something to get a top-of-the-line guy, which is doubtful," said assistant general manager Mike Arbuckle.
" Veteran Mike Lieberthal, 34, is fighting through his third injury of the season, a nagging back issue suffered Aug. 9 that cost him three games last weekend. He already has missed 9 weeks with knee and hip injuries, and he is a free agent after the season.
"Which means that Ruiz is the starter next season, right?
" 'I think he's a contending candidate," Arbuckle said. "I don't think it's an absolute lock.' "
I'm not the only one who noticed Ruiz's demeanor with the pitchers last night, particularly in the ninth inning working with Ryan Madson. "I even like how he goes out to the mound and puts his hands on the pitcher," Goodman commented this morning. "He wants them to trust him."
--- Name the best National League middle reliever, according to Hardball Times Win Shares. That's right, it's Geoff Geary, who earns Beerleaguer's vote for unsung Phillies hero of the 2006 season.
Geary's nine Win Shares place him ahead of several higher-profile middle relievers who were bantered around as possible Phillies acquisitions in the offseason, including Bradon Looper, Dan Wheeler, Chad Qualls, Bob Howry, Soloman Torres and Duaner Sanchez, who's out with injury. Overall, he trails only Takashi Saito, Billy Wagner and Trevor Hoffman, all closers.
Since Aug. 8, Geary, the team leader in vuture wins with 7, has surrendered just one run and no homers since Aug. 7. On the season, he's 7-1 with a 2.95 ERA and trails only Torres of Pittsburgh with 82 2-3 relief innings. Geary has been a true horse.

- Good, but could have been so much moreMaxwellVIPDined on 11/23/2014The seafood was fresh, well prepared and served in abundance. The problem was that Flaherty's accepts reservations before 6pm but doesn't open up its "nice" dining room until 6pm. Eating in the bar area at wooden tables without even tablecloths just cheapened the entire dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 11/8/2014Full of tourists, no charm. We left and went to a restaurant across the street with an open garden, fire pit, charming servers.
- ScallopsYummyDined on 11/4/2014The scallops on the specialty menu were disappointing, with lack of flavor, and only four small scallops. My dining partner liked the vegetarian risotto.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A place to visitRayOVIPDined on 10/17/2014The food and service was excellent and the oysters are just excellent stop by and have the oystersSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great EveningAslongasitisDined on 10/15/2014We were promptly greeted and seated. Our wine order was taken and we perused the menu concentrating on fish dishes. We settled on splitting paella. What a great choice, except it took a long, long time to come. Our waitress implied that the demand that night for the dish was high. When it arrived, it was stupendous. Our neighbor tables all enjoyed chatting-- one couple from Brazil, the other from Pennsylvania. We all had a wonderful experience. I plan on going back again and again.Special Features:
- Still good after all these yearsLaobanDined on 10/7/2014Went here first in 1979, have been back annually over the years... Still good solid , not fancy or fussy seafood Last night we had seafood risotto, grilled sand dabs w no butter, lobster bisque, lobster gnocchi --- when server came for dessert, all our plates were fully cleaned off...enough said.!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fresh FishPGGALDined on 9/24/2014A very enjoyable dinner and the fish was all fresh and prepared well.Special Features:
- Mixed bagLacrosseDined on 9/20/2014The special Sea Bass was excellent. The sole was overcooked and dry. Oyster selection was good. Good solid place.
- Great place...been there oftenCrutcrutDined on 9/20/2014We live in Half Moon Bay, but went here to celebrate my B-day. Have been several times over the years for lunch, but never for dinner. Everything was great. We hope to return many more times.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- been there before, won't be backScubaSteinDined on 9/19/2014We had found this restaurant years ago and hand a number of items (appetizers and entrees). The service was good as was the food. We were so impressed we ignored personal recommendations of others to try different restaurants on this return trip. This go round unfortunately was not a repeat performance. Service was poor for us and other tables around us. The food was hit and miss, mostly just okay for many courses. The oysters and salad were good, but my calamari and my wife's Ahi were just mediocre.Special Features:
- Not Single Guest FriendlyRJGsReviewsDined on 9/12/2014I've know about Flaherty's since I was a child and always hears good things about them. However, when going to the restaurant on the 12th, with a dinner reservation already made, when I said it was just for myself, they went to seat me way back next to the kitchen, etc. I asked for a closer table and their response was to see what was on the bar side of the restaurant. Turns out they had a nice window table for me. Why not offer the choice to me before I make the comment? Food was good, servers were stretched to thin. Not only that if you caught the eye of another server who wasn't yours, your ignored. Last time I eat there.Special Features:
- Good neighborhood restaurantSydRDined on 9/9/2014Great food; crab cakes fabulous as was steak. King salmon a little over cooked but still good. Would definitely go backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice weekday dinnerTesorovalentinaDined on 9/8/2014Wonderful fresh oyster choices, best line caught Idaho Trout since many years, and incredible sautéed squid-along with pleasant service. Very enjoyable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wouldn't RecommendTrav4golfDined on 9/1/2014Maybe you're supposed to stick with the oysters and lobster chowder that they market heavily as being really great. The food was very average. The fish was supposed to be fresh but the halibut was clearly not and so it was cooked and smothered in what tasted like thousand island dressing. The cod didn't have any taste. My potatoes were room temperature and hard and dryed out. The waitress didn't know much about menu selections especially questions regarding fresh fish of the day which is supposedly what they get flown in daily. Two thumbs down. Too many good restaurants to waste time and money at Flahertys.
- It was differentTerryDined on 8/18/2014Oyster stew was not what I was expecting. I hadn't had it in a long time so I was a little disappointed when it was so different. My wife had the cobb salad which she said was outstanding.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Jumping!KateVIPDined on 8/1/2014Packed and everyone seemed happy and contented. Food very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 262 reviews are from the Flaherty's Seafood Grill & Oyster Bar reviews archive.
- Limited gluten free optionsWheathurtsDined on 7/29/2014Complimentary baskets of fresh bread at every table. Since I'm allergic to wheat I requested gluten free and was charged $1 per slice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Last minute lunch at Flaherty's...FunDinersVIPDined on 7/26/2014Carmel was packed - not surprising for a summer Saturday. We looked to Open Table to help us find a lunch spot - party of 8. We booked at Flaherty's for a table to be ready in 15. Apparently, they don't get regular updates (maître'd hadn't checked for several hours)...but he still worked to accommodate us in 2 tables of 4, which was fine. Everyone was in the mood for either beer or Bloody Mary's. The beer selection was terrific. The Mary's were delightfully spicy & each was decked with a jumbo prawn. The consensus was that they'd gone too light on the booze, however. Oyster selection was great, but the Kumos were SO small (would've fit in a 1/4 tsp), we felt pretty gipped. The larger ones were awesome, flavorful, and well-accompanied. Yum!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent dinner choiceMattieSheaDined on 7/8/2014Delicious food and hostess and wait staff were terrific!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TheMcCunesTheMacsDined on 7/7/2014The lobster bisque was the best we have ever had! The wedge salad met expectations and the scallop risotto-lovely. All in all, a great meal! We retuned the next night to pick up dessert to go...sadly the pecan pie did not meet our expectations. The filling below the pecans was the consistency of cranberry jelly-not loose, but firm. It was ultra weird. The key like pie was ok...so, I am glad our first visit included only the entrees. We know they are stellar for our next visit and will shop around for dessert. Dinner-two thumbs up!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceptional food - but very noisy!MacbestVIPDined on 7/5/2014We arrived to find that the person at our assigned table had not left yet and there was no room. But the way the receptionish handled it was very professional. She walked us into the bar area (the restaurant has two areas, bar area and restaurant - eat at later, former is REALLY noisy AND packed!) and bought us our first round. This was very classy. The service in the restaurant was just good - plates delivered by the busboy (or assistant waiter, you pick) was always to the wrong table and then came to ours. Service was also slow (the place was completely packed). And the final bill had the "free" drinks on it (then removed). That said, food was exceptional - super fresh and huge portions. Put up with the service issues, food is great!!Special Features:
- Confused.Golf2VIPDined on 7/4/2014We like this restaurant but the waitress had a table of six, plus 5-6 more tables of two. She was rushing everyone to order, I believe, to get us out and the next wave in. My order of sea bass was wrong so my husband ate his dinner and mine arrived after he was done. She offered wine or dessert but not necessary as I was not looking for anything free. It sort of ruined the dinner. The food is great, however.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Solid SeafoodSnackMasterDined on 7/2/2014Been going to Flaherty's for decades. Easily the best crab chowder and lobster bisques anywhere. Fantastic balance of flavors, textures, and ultra fresh and tender seafood. The crab cocktail and artichoke were tasty as always. The reason for holding back a star is because they changed the recipe on the berry pie. Used to be something I raved about, and now something barely better than a hostess pie. The new recipe has a thick, tough crust and the pie no longer has a mound of berries but, scant portions. Other than that, I still highly recommend the other items on the menu.Special Features:
- Great Seafood in Charming TownksmithDined on 6/28/2014If you're looking for delicious, fresh seafood in a fun, relaxed atmosphere, check out Flaherty's. There were a number of fresh, local options on the daily specials menu. I had the crab encrusted halibut cooked in a clam broth, which was warm and homey. My dad had the cioppiono which was a HUGE bowl filled with tons of fresh seafood. Our waitress was friendly and very accommodating. She knew the menu inside and out and had no problems accommodating my gluten free needs - she even brought out delicious gluten free focaccia bread for me! I will definitely come back next time I'm in Carmel!Special Features:
- great food and serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 6/27/2014excellent menu of ethically sourced seafood, service is efficient yet warm and the atmosphere is bustling in a good way.Special Features:
- Outstanding fresh fishem4bartzDined on 6/21/2014Highlight was the cioppino. Giant bowl of the freshest most delicious mixture of seafood. Have it! You will not regret it.Special Features:
- Nice anniversary dinner!KNortDined on 6/19/2014I choose to make reservations at Flaherty's because it received very good reviews from yelp and another reviewer. It was moderately priced and not too expensive. I liked that they were concerned about sustainable seafood and had many selections on their menu. My husband had a pesto salmon dish and I had a grilled salmon dish. We also had 1/2 dozen blue point oysters. Everything was fresh and very good.Special Features:
- Disappointed lunchweaveDined on 6/9/2014Service was only fair. Server seemed under the influence of something. Slow responses. No vegetarian options but one. Not everyone likes seafood. Won't be back.Special Features:
- Looks can be deceivingOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 6/4/2014The service was very slow but the food was terrible. The seafood was overcooked and had zero flavor. They did take care of the situation which was nice.
- Great Seafood at Carmel by the SeaSamanthaDined on 6/2/2014We had a large party of 8 that included 2 kids. Everyone was happy with their food. The wine list and the seafood was excellent. The kids menu was also very good, especially for those kids who don't like seafood. The adult menu also had several non-seafood dishes. We had the Calamari for an appetizer. Another person in our party ordered the Clam Chowder. I ordered the Paella. Service was also very good. I know that a large party is not easy to wait on, but our waitress did an excellent job.Special Features:
- mussel lover dreamMendabendDined on 5/31/2014great pasta and seafood combos tried sveral in our group....all great....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great chowderluv2dineVIPDined on 5/19/2014The New England chowder cannot be missed. The crab cakes are also very good. Good wine list with lots of local wines.Special Features:
- KEY LIME PIEfritchieDined on 5/15/2014My husband's paella was outstanding. My haibut had a wonderful sauce, but it was a little heavy for the fish. Their key lime pie, however, was unbelievably mouth-watering. We have eaten key lime pie all over the U.S. and this was the best we've ever tasted! Everything about it: the flavor, the consistency, and the crust were out of this world!Special Features:
- Again and AgainFlyhighVIPDined on 5/9/2014Our favorite dinner place in Carmel. We have eaten there a dozen times. Great food and service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food in CarmelAbstertDined on 5/3/2014Very good food in Carmel. Has the cashew crusted halibut and it was amazing. The mussels for the appetizer weren't too great, but my bloody mart helped out. I would recommend to try this place out and you won't be disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for gluten freeNoGlutenDined on 4/29/2014A dedicated fryer, cornmeal coating and gluten free bread makes for a great tasting fried shrimp sandwich. Something that you may have a very hard time finding at any other restaurant.Special Features:
- Great EveningMenuPagesDined on 4/28/2014My husband, daughter and I celebrated my daughters birthday with an early mid-week dinner. Our server, Carlos, was knowledgable, attentive and friendly. I didn't get the busboy's name but he gave excellent service as well. Our drinks were very good and the food was fabulous. Have to remember to leave room for dessert next time....and we will go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Perfect spot for dinnerBbbbVIPDined on 4/4/2014Stopped in on a Friday night for dinner (recommended by our hotel) and we weren't disappointed. The staff offered helpful suggestions - oysters on the half shell were delicious and the cashew crusted halibut was perfect. What a perfect meal!
- Great Anniversary Food:)jiseguerrerosDined on 3/22/2014We went to celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary and we didn't realize that this restaurant was divided in 2. One is the Oyster Bar and the other the Grill. Since we made our dinner reservations before 6pm, we were seated at the bar and the noise level was not ideal for a romantic and quiet dinner. The food was great, but I would not say that their clam chowder was one of the best I've had. It had more potatoes than clams. I will say my lobster melt was delicious and my husband's salmon was wonderful as well. Our waitress was very friendly and explained the food options very well since their menu is extra loaded with options and it got overwhelming. Overall it was a great dinner, but next time I will eat at their Grill for a quiet feel.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
