Supplement Direct REPS Agent Orange
Purchased this in one of my past orders. Was always curious about it so I gave it a go finally. Glad I picked some up
Flawless. Never has it let me down. Whether mixing 2 or 3 scoops everytime it dissolved completely.
Agent Orange is awesome! It is probably the best tasting Orange preworkout drink I have had. I'll order more based on taste alone.
With 2-3 scoops, I'm only getting 80-120mg of caffeine but I get what I want out of it, a slight buzz and alert feeling. I workout in the morning now and don't feel I need the energy like I did after coming home from working 10+ hours.
I also started to use REPS when wanting to bring my caffeine intake down. I started at 3 scoops then moved to 2 scoops where I've been.
I don't notice much in this department. While taking REPS I've noticed more veins and more of a pump at times but it also could be coming from many other sources.
I love this product! At my 2 scoops per workout and doing a 2 on 1 off schedule, a bag of REPS for $9.99(before 10% off ) will last me about a month. That is incredible value for less than $10. Of course I love my energy and will eventually use a supplement with more energy to it, but for now REPS takes the cake. I'd like to try all the flavors as Agent Orange was down right tasty!

My mistake, I was thinking of HOH.
But seriously, you're talking about a pretty much fresh, new company with recycled talent being number 3 in the country?
And if mainstream America doesn't watch ROH, what makes you think they will suddenly watch NJPW? To mainstream America, WWE is wrestling. From what I understand, NJPW is doing quite well for a company not based in America, as their style fits better with an international audience.
As for the other 3 companies, seriously, let's not say a show that fewer than a dozen people on this forum have heard of and say they could be number 3. If us internet geeks haven't heard of it, what makes you think mainstream America will take a liking to it?
There is a reason why companies like Wrestling Society X and Urban Wrestling Federation all failed. Most fans care nothing about wrestling that isn't WWE. I, for one, have no interest in watching TCW, when I have no idea what that is.
Financial backing is key. Are these companies you listed making money? Where are they based out of and how often do they hold shows? Who are their champions?
And OP, you've just listed 5 companies that could be number 3. Which is weird because you earlier said Chikara and have since replaced them with AAW. Do you even know what you're talking about or do you just like making threads with no insight until others comment so you can repeat what they say?

Does this mean that the public and local towns will have less say in what is built in their community. What will it mean for Saxonvale and Frome?

Well done local world we need more reporters like this ................

New homes should be built in existing villages and market towns instead of as part of sprawling new developments of up to 15,000 plots, the Princess Royal has said.
She argued it would be better for existing rural communities to take the brunt of the 240,000 new homes needed each year.
All right for royals to tell us where we should build - just like Marie Antoinette. Perhaps she could sell off a bit of her estate for houses.
The facts are these. Villages have very few jobs so newcomers mean more commuters jamming up the roads. In summer our roads arealready full with people coming from the north and east going to Southamption, South Coast and the Devon and Cornwall resorts. In Beckington the village had agreed to 40 new houses but the government and local authorities have let big develo[per firends build 84 and more to come. No jobs in the neighbourhood or Frome for these new folks. It is wrong to give a blanket figure for all authorities to meet when there are no jobs coming to the area.
Why more houses anyway? Because the population of UK is soaring and the governments can't or won't tackle it.

Your Take: Country Music's Future at Radio
Last week, programmers and DJs descended upon Nashville for the Country Radio Seminar. Several programs discussed the music habits of today's listeners and some interesting facts were shared. In one program, Edison President Larry Rosin offered more information from the organization's media research study, including a stat he was hesitant to reveal yesterday for fear of "bumming people out": "Respondents' favorite ways to listen to music scored traditional FM radio at 17%, internet options such as YouTube and digital stations at 14% and 'my own personal collection' topping the list at 30%."
In another program, Rhapsody's Jason Schneck added, "85,000 users on Rhapsody are primary Country users. 350,000 consumers have played Country in the last month. When we do a Country feature, we see a 20-30% increase in that catalog after. Country is growing exponentially for us. There's a great opportunity there and we're doing all we can to promote it."
We want your take: What is your favorite way to listen to music? Do you primarily use streaming services, radio (traditional or satellite) or mostly listen to your own music collection – and is that collection digital, or do you prefer vinyl and/or CDs? If you look in your personal crystal ball, what do you think it will be five years from now? What about 20 years from now?
11 Comments
I listen to a mix of my personal collection and streaming. Out of convienence I find myself listening to music on streaming services that I own in other formats. I even find myself buying albums to support an artist, but listening to it on a streaming service rather than on the format I just bought.
I don't think there is any way to predict the options for listening to music in 5 years, and certainly not 20 years. I don't think physical formats, or even downloads, will be going completely away, though.
The large majority of my listening is split evenly between radio and personal collection. The radio is mostly satellite, supplemented only by the two local university country/roots radio shows. Recent additions to the personal collection are 50:50 between CD and digital. I'd go 100% digital if they would always include a .pdf of liner notes.
The other 10% is internet, primarily YouTube or an artist's web site, to hear more about someone I've just learned about. No idea about where things will be five or 20 years from now.
I'm usually listening to CDs I'm reviewing whether they're advanced copies or ones I've bought myself. Beyond that, I listen to satellite. I always say Sirius/XM Prime Country keeps me sane.
On Sunday mornings the local country station (102.5 WKLB) plays a four hour block of 'Sunday Morning Country Oldies' that's just divine. The format has switched to an 80s/90s bent over the ast few years, with 70s thrown in, but it's still wonderful to listen. The two DJs have been anchoring the show for more than 20 years. Last time I tuned in, they played everything from Tracy Byrd's "Keeper of the Stars" to Tanya Tucker's "What's Your Mama's Name" to Emmylou, Dolly, & Linda's "To Knw Him Is To Love Him" plus Emmylou's "Beneath Still Waters," among others.
As far as streaming, I only use Spotify when listening to releases I need to review for My Kind of Country spotlight artists. I should use it more, listen instead of buying new releases all the time, but for whatever reason I don't.
I'm the music director for a country radio station, so I listen to that a lot both when I'm the DJ and when I'm in my car. If I'm out of town or at home I'll listen to my iPod.
There is simply no longer any good reason or business model that has thousands of stations playing exactly the same, limited national playlist–the same list anybody can or will soon hear digitally anywhere anyway.
If broadcast country radio has a future, it will be in localizing and distinguishing what it does to be an attraction. Varying flavors and even formats and country music reflecting local/regional tastes, time of day, year-anythting smart that matters–live music and talk with local and visiting acts, involvement with the scene. And added income from all over the globe since it can be heard anywhere digitally anyhow–and a reason's been provided to listen.
It might work something like-WSM.
I agree with Barry. I think for radio to survive it needs to roll back to what it was. That's not just "good ole days" thinking, either.
For example, in my small little town there is a local owned independent station. Over the past few years they have gone to playing the exact same music that all of the stations in larger towns are playing. Their highest rated times were the two weekend "oldies shows" or local sports events. Their change, in what I've observed, wasn't a case of playing what the audience wanted, but more of an inter-industry "keeping up with the Joneses" (though, unfortunately not George).
My wife and I listen to cd's that we both like almost every morning. (We're retired) The rest of the day when we listen it's usually music from i-tunes or cd's loaded to our laptops. We almost never listen to radio.
I have a lot of music on vinyl, LP's and 45's. If the LP is one on which I still like most of the songs, I do occasionally play the LP. Some I've played recently include John Denver, Don McLean, Everly Brothers, Elton John, Joe South, B.J. Thomas, Larry Gatlin, Johnny Rodriguez and the Eagles. If I no longer care for most of the album, I buy the few songs I like on i-tunes.
RE streaming, we recently saw Melissa Manchester and Brandy Clark shows on Stage-It. We both check you-tube occasionally.
I have no idea what the future holds for radio but i hope i-tunes and cd's are going to be around for a long time. I'll be too old to embrace a new technology.
I live in a city that did not have any country station for more than ten years–Then something called Nash FM came in. It plays current country, but I hesitate to even call it a radio station, as it seems to have no DJ's and seems to be run by a computer. If you listen to the station there's nothing about it that indicates place or time. The hour you listen to on Sunday at 2 pm could be the same feed that was played at 2 am a week before. But I couldn't even listen to an hour because the station seems to have a constant drumbeat of noise designed to drive anyone over the age of 16 insane. I don't even know what it is–It must be something the sound engineers concoct.
A short time later, I got a new car that came with Sirius XM radio, so I finally have something listenable. I don't know if that Nash noise is still even on.
Nash FM is a Cumulus chain. A bunch of stations in different places given the syndicated shows.
I think this is the wave of the past.
And when WHN AM was the New York country station–and the most listened to country station in the US, by the way–it had a format that was unquestionably country but skewed towards the tastes of those around the metropolitan New York area most likely to go for it–so it was current pop country, some traditional, some that might be called Americana now. The mix was devised by smart programmers at the radio station that understood their own audience–not any imposed fake sophisticated national corporate-meets-focus group notion of "what works, everywhere–period." And no, not presented by robots.
Has anyone been listening to online stations such as what I run on Live 365. You might hear the same song tuning in different hours but my mix is anything but what you will find on commercial radio.
What country radio needs is more Bluegrass and Western Swing.

Expedition to Northern Tibet, Part 2: Where the Wild Yak Roams
Kiang live up here.
We're in the highest, most desolate section of Tibetan Plateau; a place no one lives and very few visit. And yet even here we're accompanied by oddly domestic shapes. Kiang, or Tibetan wild ass (Equus kiang), are a strikingly coloured relative of the donkey; their red-brown backs contrasting sharply with white flanks, belly, legs, neck and muzzle.
They can survive more arid conditions than any other large mammal on the plateau, and like their less-wild cousins, are masters at finding food where there appears to be none. Their equine shape and canter are familiar even to someone who has spent very little time with horses.
As we struggle with our bike and trailers, slouching exhausted every couple of hundred meters, the domestication of equines seems like one of our species smartest achievements.
A big part of the Chinese government's motivation for creating these nature preserves (Kekexili and Aerjinshan) was protection for the endangered Tibetan antelope or chiru (Pantholops hodgsoni). With slender arched horns the colour of ebony, chiru are an attractive antelope. But it is their pelts that are the cause of their decline. To deal with extreme cold, chiru have an extraordinarily fine and soft undercoat, known as Shahtoosh. Considered among the most luxurious and prized of all animal fibres, a shawl made of Shahtoosh can supposedly be passed through a wedding ring.
Poaching of these antelope – dramatized in the haunting film Kekexili Mountain Patrol – has pushed the small remaining population to the highest and most remote parts of the Tibetan Plateau.
Expedition to Northern Tibet, Part 1: The Land of Charging Blue Bears
Why is it that when you are trying to be the quietest, you inevitably drop or bang something noisy? Well, at least that's my experience.
The ice that just cracked under my foot was like a window breaking.
The bear sleeping on the bank of the river exploded with a roar.
Within a few seconds it was covering the frozen ground towards us at break-neck speed. My friend Hamish and I raised our airhorns above our heads and squeezed. The bear kept coming. Then just as the horns started to wheeze their last exhale of compressed air, the bear registered the sound and pulled up.
Standing less than 80 feet from us was one of the rarest bears on the planet, the Tibetan blue bear (Ursus arctos pruinosus).
We didn't speak, there wasn't anything to say. We both knew that our air horns were exhausted and that in retrospect we should have had a plan to let off one then the other.
The bear stared at us with lips curled back. We stood frozen holding our bikes. It wasn't more than a few seconds – time enough to process the gravity of the situation – before the bear turned and retreated. Twenty feet at first, then all the way to the bank, then half way up the sand dune, at each point turning to observe and perhaps reevaluate its decision to retreat, then finally over the top of the dune and out of sight. This was the first bear we had seen on the expedition.
"Holy [expletive]."
"These air horns just saved our lives."
Discovery: New Cave Fish Species Sees "Light of Day"
Deep inside a remote cave in northern Vietnam, Craig Leisher aimed his headlamp at the water. Several small, strange-looking fish flashed by. He readied his butterfly net and quickly tried to scoop one up but missed. He tried again.
Leisher eventually caught four species of fish. Further analysis revealed that two species were already known to science, one was a new species and one was a mystery.
The new species, Schistura mobbsi, has no eyes, no pigmentation and a limited ability to sense motion. It is a type of loach — a river-dwelling genus that includes both subterranean and above-ground species.
Leisher and ichthyologist Maurice Kottelat recently published the discovery in Ichthyological Explorations of Freshwaters … 10 years after the fact.
Why did it take 10 years for Schistura mobbsi to make its public appearance in the scientific literature?
Let's re-wind.

The Caveman's Valentine deserves an A for ambition, but the final product is a pastiche of too many predecessors, from Wim Wenders' well-intentioned misfire The End of Violence, to Terry Gilliam's The Fisher King, to just about every recent film from Oliver Stone. There's a fairly gratuitous sex scene to hold our interest and to prove that, as Romulus' dead wife puts it, "some white girls'll fuck any kind of black man." And for anyone who's ever fantasized about Samuel L. Jackson, there's a split-second shot that leaves nothing to the imagination. Hall and Feore give entertaining performances, and Jackson gets to live out the Method actor's dream of playing a crazy person. Given his track record as a tough guy, however, and his height, it's a bit of a stretch to think that he'd be cowed into submission by the likes of the puny adversaries herein.

Another critical asset for communicating in a disaster is our SouthernLinc radios. These push-to-talk units allow us to talk to public safety, public works, hospital, state public health, Red Cross, and school officials, among others. In addition, these units have talk groups which enable a person to communicate to all group members at one time. SouthernLinc is also the primary way we communicate with our National Weather Service office. Many times we will have advanced warning from them that a tornado warning will be issued over the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) All Hazard System. This gives us another means of verification prior to activating our Outdoor Warning System for the area included in the warning.
How did Tuscaloosa EMA interact with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)?
I think what was done in Alabama will be a national model. In addition to a Joint Field Office (JFO) established in Birmingham, a mini JFO was established here. Tuscaloosa was the home of Division C, which served not only Tuscaloosa County but a number of other counties in our area. When we had a question, FEMA and state officials were available locally to assist us.
What were residents most unhappy with regarding the government response?
One of the challenges we're dealing with now is the FEMA Individual Shelter Program, which subsidizes a homeowner's shelter construction. There has been a lot of interest in the program, but the process is slow. After the application process at the local level, the state reviews the package and then FEMA. This can take months. If a grant is awarded, the applicant pays the full cost up front and applies for reimbursement of 75 percent of the cost up to $4,000. A number of people, however, have advised us that they cannot afford to pay the full cost of the shelter up front and wait for reimbursement.

A deliciously spiced potato/capsicum side dish to complement grilled chicken or fish, or to accompany other Mexican dishes. Posted for the 2005 Zaar World Tour, this recipe has been adapted from an International Masters '1001 Recipes for Pan or Wok' recide card. If like me, you don't like really spicy food, omit the chillies and add dried Italian or Greek herbs, and perhaps 1/2 teaspoon cumin. Realise of course that this is then no longer really a Mexican dish! Testimony surely to just how many recipes are so easily crossing national and international boundaries!

I really don't get people sometimes. This is why I'm very picky about who I let into my life. I've been hurt too many times to let anyone me wholey. I have been dropped twice in my life be friends I've been friends with for years. Both times I did not do anything. The first cause I kept a secret another friend told me and when my friend knew I knew and didn't say anything dropped me didn't speak to me for along time well over 10 years then apologizes to me life is too short to hold grudges. And I just couldn't give in cause I was hurt. The 2nd was a friend I was friends with for over 14yrs dropped me at the time my mom died. Told me I didn't do anything wrong but since I was in the circle of friends ( and cousin ) she couldn't talk to me anymore. So now here is my friend I use to live with in NY. A lot of shit went on. I moved away to be closer to my family after Mom died. And again like I don't matter. I called all the time since I moved, sent christmas and birthday gifts. I went and visited. One sided friendship. What hurt most was she got married and had a baby and didn't included me in anything. Tells me I'm like a sister blah blah blah but didn't ever talk about her wedding shit to me and even if i brought it up change subject or whatever. Same thing with baby shower. I blew up to her Mom about it. The topper was the baby christening she wasn't even gonna tell me. So I decided to walk away. I mean how much more bullshit am I gonna take. I'm tired of crying and giving chances. I stopped calling, won't go visit, stopped sending gifts, stopped texting ( not as much ) in the pass 2 weeks shes been texting me how she misses my friendship , the old days….blah blah blah. So it takes me to walk away. I'm tired of getting hurt! I'm tired of getting walked all over! I'm tired of feeling I don't matter to anyone. And I'm not gonna get sucked back in to getting hurt by anyone anymore. I can't!! When is enough enough?
Here I am again!
I'm hoping this time this is going to be easier to stick to since everyone is back to school and work. I really have no excuses now. No one is home till 3:15pm.
Monday & Wednesdays back to kickboxing
Mon, Wed & Fri back to the gym
and Tues, Thurs workout at home
Sunday and Saturday rest days
Monday starts again…Back on the morning shakes and figure out a perfect eating menu. Since the last time I have blogged I have been working out in spurts and did the shake thing for 2 whole weeks straight. But now that summer is over the parties will start to die out. I need to make this my moment I have till now and May to get in shape and work on me. I have to try not to fall into my normal winter funk. This shit is really hard.
Well I'm officially back come Monday.
I've decided to clean out the closet of my life of things and people that don't make me happy anymore. To clear the things in my life that add to my stress and my negative feelings. Is it wrong for me to do?? Maybe but for right now I need to rid my life of things that eat at me. I need to do what's best for me! Right now that's all that matters to me. I have to fix me first before anything else in my life otherwise I'll never get out of this sink hole I'm in. So first thing I did was quit taking score for the softball team. I quit because this year it bothered me so much I didn't wanna take score anymore I wanted to play but I can't. I said last year I was gonna lose this weight and walk again …. never happened! This weight and not walking is the biggest stress in my life. I need to focus on doing what I said losing the weight and get walking again. There are a few people I need to drop out of my life also. I feel bad quitting . I enjoy the team and hanging out with my friends having laughs but it's not so enjoying for me this year letting it depress me. So that was my first step.
I went to the gym twice this week. I wanna make it a habit to go more. I actually feel great after a nice workout. I need to get my strength back mentally and physically that's all that matter right now. I need to rid my mind & body of all this negativity
Clean slate on life I'm giving myself. I am the ruler of my happiness. I let negative shit & people in my head. I let stress enter MY life again. I became weak! Nah, I am not letting it defeat me. It's not who I am and It's not going to be who I ever become. I've hit my rock bottom and I'm going to climb out of it one step at a time. I am going to fix me for me. It's true I need to do this for me and NOBODY else! I have to find my happiness and strength again. When I do there is no stopping! I totally hit the lowest point in my life. I've embarrassed myself and I'm ashamed of myself for giving up on myself and letting everyone see me that way. Nothing in life is easy I know that and nothing in my life has ever come easy. I'm a fighter always have been. Allowing the negative thoughts of giving up into my head…. on life! Nah, that's not me!! I don't know why I let it all get to me. It scares me! I need to find out where or what went wrong and fix it. I let my guard down. I need to build again.
I went to the gym today! When I was working out and blogging I was feeling go. I relieve my stress at the gym and in my writing so here I am again! Which the gym should work out great this time cause my friend joined.
So first day at gym this is what I did
Shoulders 10 sets of 10 @ 30lbs
biceps 10 sets of 10 @ 30lbs
triceps 10 sets of 10 @ 90lbs
abs 10 sets of 10 @ 70lbs
chest 10 sets of 10 @ 50lbs
and it felt great!
I am so truly so frustrated with myself…..my life!!!!! So tired of it! I honestly do feel like I'm on my own. I just can't find my strength, my willpower,my passion, my reason! I feel like I exist to just exist. I was doing good then I just let everything and everyone get to me. I want my life back and I can't figure out a way to go about it. Everything I've done and do I just fall back to square one. How do people stick to one path and never get sidetracked? I'm so afraid to say how I feel and where I think I'm headed. I have so many people around me but yet feel so lonely. Does that make any sense? My best to me doesn't seem good enough and all I do is never enough. I have unreachable goals. Nothing in my life seems mine I have to depend on everyone. It's not me, It's not who I was and it's so not who I wanna be for the rest of my life. I'm tired of just going with the flow. Sucking it all in! The past couple of weeks have been hell to me. I'm tired of feeling like my feelings don't matter. I just wanna runaway…..fix me and comeback and say look at me now bitches!! but since I can't run there is nowhere to go.
I really let my emotions get to me and I never done that before. I let build up. ON the 4th I drank soooo much. I hardly ate anything. I don't really remember anything from that day. I just heard from everyone. I woke up the next morning in my bed. I was a mess! I puked several times when they got me in my room. And I'm embarrassed and ashamed of myself. I drank so much my sister said they were thinking to take me to ER if I had alcohol poisoning. Well I haven't touched liquor since then. Just a couple of beers and lots of water this past weekend. I was so stressed all week I fought with my best friend from NY and her mom then found out my best male friend that moved up here got engaged. But he didn't tell me and I spoke to him the day before. A friend text me OMG Joe is getting married and I said Joe who…my Joe? She's like yeah it's on facebook and she sent me pic. I was hurt and upset cause I just spoke to you and this is the way I have to find out. We are like family he had so many hard times and I was always there for him. Then he comes here on the 4th with his daughter who I haven't seen or spoken to in like 4 1/2 years cause of him. Who use to be a kid with a good head on her shoulders now she's 19 and is like a Miley wanna be ass hanging out thug talking. Ugh! The fight with my friend and her mom realy got to me making me feel guilty that I haven't seen her baby or them in like a year in a half. I'm tired of it. It's like a 1 sided friendship. I don't drive and you been around where I live to visit your dad. Fuckin come visit me. I don't matter! My feelings don't matter! Enough already! for once all the ones that stress me I would love to see them do an ounce of what I did for them. For once I would love to feel important to feel special to feel like I matter. everything i do i do from my heart and it feels like it's never enough ….. something has to give! I need to get away!
It's been a while since I posted. I was doing good then I lost my gym partner. Which I know it's no excuse but it's so much easier going with someone cause you don't wanna let them down. When you're on your own it's so easy to say everyday….. I'll go tomorrow ( which we all find out tomorrow never happens ) I did go a couple of times but didn't last long. I worked out at home a few times but didn't last long either. Kickboxing didn't last long either. They close on weekends now till Labor Day and the Mondays & Wed is softball days ( I take score ) I'm in such a funk! I have been having good times but my life is not how I want it. No one understands how I feel and I really don't express. I really don't wanna express how I feel anymore to anyone I know. Only I can fix how I feel. I'm getting frustrated with having to have help. I hate this fkn chair so much I want to take a sledge hammer to it already. I'm mad at myself for not being strong enough to stick with what I want. I'm tired of depending on people! I can't get to the gym unless I ask for a ride. I can't stand taking score in softball anymore cause I wanna play…. I wanna be part of the team. I use to love playing ball. It angers me. It angers me I can't do the things I use to do. It angers me cause ever fkn day I imagine how different my life could be. It angers me seeing everyone enjoy the things I wanna do but can't do. It angers me cause I don't know how to get back everything I lost and I don't want to accept the fact that this damn chair is my life now. NO!! It's a burden to everyone and most of all me! I am never going to overcome my anger. I tried and I failed over and over again.
It's Only Gets Better!
So on Wednesday I went to Kickboxing with my friend. We kicked ass! The News people were there filming because the instructor is doing a fundraiser for a boy who lost his life. My friend and I so didn't wanna be on TV the instructor said suck it up it's for a good cause and she is absolutely right! It was an awesome workout! Finally got to punch the pads that they hold..I so thought my friend was gonna knock me out lmfao! Oh was really sore all day yesterday but that's a good thing :) I'm really feeling good about myself…. I feel the difference!! I said that on this journey I wanted to inspire people but didn't realize I would really inspire myself. It really is an amazing feeling!
Mama Said Knock You Out
New Beginnings
So today I went to kickboxing with my friend. I loved it😊 I worked up an awesome sweat!!! Just what I want. The things I couldn't do the instructer gave me other things to do. Omg it was great! So I'm going to go every Wed & Sat. Tuesday I'm meeting another friend at the gym to do the punching bag. I'm so excited I wanna hit something lmfao. It's so beautiful out today. Getting ready to go to a friend's daughter communion BBQ . Enjoy the beautiful day everyone xoxo
Opening Up
So today I showed my video to a long time friend of the family my Mom's best friend since i was like 3yrs old. I spoke to her on the phone telling her about the video and she asked me to send it to her email. So I agreed said watch it and call me back. Her and her husband watched it and she called me back an hour later crying both of them. She said we never knew you felt that way. I said no nobody did because I was always told that's not how you feel or I just never let anyone in on how I felt. I understand my Mom couldn't handle things. I mean she couldn't even handle what she was going through. I deserve to be anger! I'm not looking for pity at all. I want the world to know that it's not easy being born with a deformity , different from normal people. Living, struggling and fighting in a world twice as hard as a normal person without any disabilities just to be accepted by others and life in general. No one knows or understands until they put on our shoes and see the struggles we have to go through everyday. Even then you truly can't understand cause our disabilities are permanent. Everyday we are reminded about our difference. Everyday we question ourselves are we ready for another day. So when you stare, make fun of, pass judgement or ignore a person with a disability just remember it's already hard enough for that person to be out in the world and you don't have to make it harder for them. I am so going out of my comfort zone to do this and like I said I hope to inspire at least one person.

Shade screens may be the solution you seek
Updated On: Oct 26 2012 12:56:19 PM EDT
Why stay inside when you can extend the livable portion of your home? Easy solution…add a shade screen. Shade screens can enclose your patio or deck & transform it into a comfortable, ventilated, pest-free environment, protected from harmful UV rays. Shade screens reduce cooling energy use by 16 – 24% as compared to an unshaded house. Whether you plan to enclose your patio or convert your garage into a screened-in room, the shade screen offers instant versatility. It also gives privacy, you can see out but outsiders can't see in. Shade Screens give you the best of both worlds, lift the screen & let sun in when you want it. When not in use, the screen retracts out-of-sight. Don't waste your outdoor space, enjoy it to the fullest with a press of a button, the screen smoothly & silently glides down to create an outdoor living room for you & your family to enjoy all of the amenities of your home day or night.

W elcome to South Euclid Municipal Court, serving the South Euclid and neighboring Cleveland Metroparks communities. Judge Gayle Williams-Byers is the current Judge elected to a six-year term beginning January 1, 2012.
Our pledge is to dispense justice fairly and uphold the tenants of the United States and Ohio Constitutions. We work diligently to respond to all inquiries and concerns in an efficient, professional manner while treating all who interact with our court with respect and courtesy.
The South Euclid Municipal Court is the community's court, belonging to no one man or woman, but rather making everyone equal under the law. It is our duty and honor to serve all who appear before the court and our obligation to ensure that each person's rights are preserved during the judicial process.
To Protect and Serve our Youth
Representatives from the Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court, Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office, Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department, South Euclid Police Department and the Urban League of Greater Cleveland will gather at the South Euclid Municipal Court at 7pm on Tuesday, September 30th for a public forum on how justice professionals along with community members can work together to steer youth in a positive direction.
The forum will be moderated by journalist James Wade of The Call and Post Newspaper.
Event organizers will aim to generate discussion on how the Juvenile Justice System works to protect and respond to young people in the community as well as give an opportunity for South Euclid parents, residents and other concerned stakeholders to share their perspective with those who work with youth in a professional capacity.
"We hope through this open exchange that citizens are better able address their concerns to jurists, prosecutors, law enforcement officers and other important stockholders who serve side by side with the juvenile justice system," said Judge Gayle Williams-Byers, the Administrative and Presiding Judge of the South Euclid Municipal Court.
"Another important goal of this forum will be to teach community members, block watch clubs, coaches, mentors and concerned neighbors how to help steer our youth in a positive direction," she added.

I created this filling just for Ed, since he loves pepperoni and hot Italian sausage on his pizza. I've added lots of oregano and a little garlic as well, and wrapped it up in a crust with more oregano. I don't think the tomato juice in the crust gives it any additional flavor, but it gives it an appealing color.

Police told to use Wikipedia for court preparation
Wikipedia is starting point...not the authority
This is the same judicial system ignorance that had a district judge tossing out a case because the issue at hand had been "raised, vetted, blogged, texted, twittered, and otherwise massaged by America's vigilant citizenry"
Wikipedia unfortunately benefits from the word 'encyclopedia' which people have historically trusted because information entered into a published encyclopedia, such as Encyclopedia Brittanica, has been researched and fact-checked by professionals. Wikipedia is merely self-checked by the users, and in some cases by companies and people with a vested interest in making the "facts" portray them in a favorable light. It is also susceptible to people entering completely false information.
Were I a judge and an attorney or witness told me their case used information that came from Wikipedia I'd
1) laugh, and
2) tell them to get some credible experts, and
3) sanction them for wasting the court's valuable time.
PC repair techs police dangerous picture law
Use Encryption And Beware Lying Techs
It is a good practice to use very strong encryption software for all your personal data. That way, if the computer is lost or stolen your data remain secure.
Encryption also prevents unauthorized casual viewing of your personal data whether by accident or by a PC repair person.
If they can see pictures, then they can see bank statements, credit card information, phone contact numbers, etc.
Use encryption. There are some very good FREE encryption programs available for Windows and Mac computers.
Pray also that you never give your PC to a repair person who would put incriminating material on your computer if you upset or argue with them (much as some food servers have been reported to contaminate customers' food when customers upset them, are the 'wrong' race, etc)
There are also people who commit crimes and then plant false evidence in order to play the 'hero' and report 'criminals' to the police. Hopefully the legal system can sort things out but likely will be too late to save one's reputation or keep one from having to pay legal fees.
GPS tracking slapped on laptop recovery service
Computrace Firmware - Impact On or Problems with Installing A Preferred OS?
A few more technical/sales questions.
Does this embedded hardware technology also mean that a person can no longer install an Operating System (OS) of their choice? Will it in fact prevent a person later changing from the provided OS and loading any OS except a "special" (and hence expensive) OS?
Is this one more method whereby Microsoft/Windows achieves what is called marketing "Lock-in"? Look this term up on Wikipedia if you don't know what it means. It's a powerful corporate tool to ensure revenues and remove customer choice.
For example, what happens to the person who decides they want to install some specific free version of Linux on the Computrace embedded firmware computer? Would it even be possible.? Assuming it's even available, will they have to purchase some licensed bit of code and pay for some unwanted service to compile into their OS just to make the entire computer work?
What additional CPU and memory resources does this extra hardware require? Will it degrade the stability of Windows? As functionality that is not required to use the computer, this hardware seems to present an additional and un-necessary risk.
I think I'd prefer to rely on strong encryption and just either write-off the equipment loss or apply an insurance claim, and not even bother with recovery of the asset.
It would likely cost a LOT more in my time and employee wages to pursue recovery of the computer (dealing with the retrieval company, the police, etc) than it would to just replace the asset and re-load the encrypted data from backup.
But, if the computer manufacturers take these choices out of my hands, it's all moot anyway.
Privacy Concern -- and Faraday Pouch/Cage
So this firmware is embedded in EVERY one of certain model laptops?
Is each computer clearly labeled so the customer can decide to NOT purchase one of these computers?
Can the customer ask to have the firmware permanently disabled (e.g. a programmable fusible link) so that NO ONE can enable it from a remote location at some time in the future? What if the computer is sold to someone else...can that second purchaser have the embedded technology permanently disabled on demand?
ONE scenario I can imagine is the Computrace technology being abused by hackers or terrorists that gain access to Computrace data (by whatever means**) and then maliciously remotely delete data from hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of users laptops.
As far as I'm concerned, from a privacy standpoint this is also as bad as or possibly worse than having GPS tracking in your phone or RFID modules in your clothing, license plates, or other products. (search on "RFID" and "Katherine Albrecht" for related privacy info). The potential for corporate or governmental abuse is high.
**Including a lost or stolen laptop with customer data...read the recent "TheRegister" article on this re: TSA's "Clear" program laptop "disappearance", or how hackers recently infiltrated the TDameritrade client database.
As for defeating the technology on a temporary basis, a simple Faraday construct (pouch, netting, cage, etc) is all that would be required to prevent GPS from working. Some buildings are also constructed to prevent RF from entering/exiting thru walls, ceilings, and even windows. It would be a trivial and cheap exercise for "thieves" to setup a secure room in which GPS would not work.

Response to Aitor - Compression v. Encryption
Ref: post by "Aitor"
Posted Wednesday 6th August 2008 07:58 GMT
It is NOT a choice between encryption and compression. That is an un-knowledgeable excuse.
You can do both quite easily and securely without significant storage overhead with any number of programs on multiple platforms. E.G. Check out TrueCrypt, a free open-source program that lets you transparently encrypt/decrypt at disk, partition, or file level.
I've no personal or financial interest in any company, product, etc. that may be described in this post.

Platinum sales and chart-topping success are not enough for rap mogul Jay-Z as he has decided to go on a Magna Carta Holy Grail European tour this fall.
Young Hov announced his overseas plans Monday (July 15) following buzz about Magna Carta earning him his first-ever United Kingdom number one album.
Jay-Z is unstoppable right now. Today, he achieved his first number 1 album in the UK with Magna Carta Holy Grail and following the milestone, he has revealed dates for a UK and Europe headline tour, starting October 3rd. The trek which also includes 3 nights at London's O2 Arean kicks off at Manchester and ends in Netherlands on October 29th. The Magna Carta tour follows the Legends Of The Summer tour with Justin Timberlake which launched last night in London. Purchase tickets at Live Nation and peep the dates after the jump. (HHNM)
A detailed listing of specific dates and European venues has also surfaced.
Thu 3 Oct-13 UK, Manchester Arena Sun 6 Oct-13 Ireland, Dublin 02 Arena Tue 8 Oct-13 UK, Birmingham NIA Arena Thu 10 Oct-13 UK, London O2 Arena Fri 11 Oct-13 UK, London O2 Arena Sat 12 Oct-13 UK, London O2 Arena Thu 17 Oct-13 France, Paris,Bercy Fri 18 Oct-13 France, Paris,Bercy Sun 20 Oct-13 Switzerland, Zurich Hallenstadion Mon 21 Oct 13 Belgium, Antwerp, Sportpaleis Wed 23 Oct13 Norway, Oslo Spektrum Fri 25 Oct-13 Sweden,Stockholm, Globe Sun 27 Oct-13 Germany, Hamburg 02 World Mon 28 Oct 13 Germany, Cologne Lanxess Arena Tue 29 Oct-13 Netherlands, Amsterdam Ziggo Dome (HHNM)
Despite dropping albums for nearly two decades, Jay landed his first UK chart-topping solo release with Magna Carta.
Jay-Z has landed his first UK number one album with Magna Carta Holy Grail. The rapper's highest-charting album previously was 2011's collaborative project Watch The Throne with Kanye West, which peaked at number three. The record ousted Mumford & Sons' Babel which enjoyed surging sales following the band's appearance at Glastonbury. In the singles chart, Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines returned to the top spot, replacing John Newman's Love Me Again after just one week at number one. (BBC UK)
Over the weekend, Jigga performed alongside R&B star Justin Timberlake in London.
Has London ever had a more dystopian venue than the Olympic Park? Compared to Wireless's old home of Hyde Park this partially astroturfed gravel car park, exposed to an unforgiving sun, is like Coachella designed by an angry JG Ballard. Still, a formidable three-day lineup drawn from urban music's top table is worth risking heatstroke. Having headlined a night each, Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake close the weekend together under the typically self-effacing name of Legends of the Summer. (The Guardian)

PICTURES: www.QueenofFarts.com
When Luci Vaughn wants to indulge herself, she eats fast food for three days… and then holds in her poo for as long as she can. "This gives me really tasty, foul-smelling farts, and the building pressure of the gas in my intestines is such a turn-on," she grins. "When I finally let go into a cute pair of knickers, the physical sensation of release and the grim olfactory storm always make me cum hard."
Take a deep breath, readers. We're about to delve into a putrid penchant that'll make your nostril hairs curl: foul smell fetishes. Smell is a powerfully evocative and provocative sense, and many of us get a tingle in our frisky bits when we catch wind of a certain scent.
Some get the horn from particular perfumes, others from latex or lube, while plenty of people are turned on by the aroma of their partners' hair and skin – even when their lover's personal pong is pretty full-on, such as their body odour after a sweaty workout, or their musky muff or salty sausage after it's been hotly stewing in underwear all day.
Sure, it might seem rancid to other people, but an extra-strong, pheromone-rich waft from your amour's privates or pits can really get your juices flowing.
Yet there are folk out there who get moist over stenches far more disgusting than a bit of perspiration, such as eggy farts, bad breath, vomit, urine, congealing grease and more. Retching yet?
Fetishists like Luci revel in multiple foul scents. Luci's a virgin. She hasn't had penetrative sex, but that hasn't stopped her experimenting with gaining sexual pleasure via smelling farts, vomit, rancid fat, urine and shit. "I've always been a scent-oriented person in every aspect of my life, and the right foul smells heighten the intensity of my orgasms to a degree that simple masturbation, oral sex or touching can't compare to," she explains.
Luci craves different scents according to her moods. She's a transgirl – she was born a man, but dresses and identifies as a woman – and has a girlfriend, but she lives far away, so sometimes Luci gets "needy and kink-deprived" in her absence.
In this state, she craves the stench of trumps and poos produced by a meat-heavy diet.
"It's overwhelming, intoxicating," she gushes. But if she's in a more sensual mood, she prefers the smell of excrement and methane produced after veggie-based meals, mixed with a few squirts of eau de toilette.
Luci also adores the smell of her lover's regurgitated food, because she feels like it fosters closeness. "Vomit play is one of the most intimate kinks," she claims. "To revel in the contents of your lover's stomach, to smell the semi-digested matter that's come from deep inside them – it can bring you as close to that person as it's possible to be."
But beyond intimacy, the rank smells of stale food and bodily fluids tap into Luci's sleazier desires. Her fantasy is to be stripped naked, forced to her knees, and tied up in a straitjacket… on the floor of a grimy late-night chip shop.
"The smell of old burgers, chicken wings and fries would set my blood on fire and cover my nethers in pre-cum," she says. "Another transgirl would force her thick cock down my throat until I vomited, and the stink of her sperm would mix with the scent of my sick, and the smell of all the gone-off, deep-fried meals past diners had ordered."
Luci loves many scents, but some foul smell fetishists fixate on just one. Fiona loves industrial cleaning products – especially bleach. "To get myself in the mood for sex, I pour Domestos onto tissues and lay them on the radiator behind my bed," she reveals. "The heat makes the fumes more powerful."
Other fetishists are turned on by a single bodily scent, such as bad breath. For Alan B, 'halitosis' equals 'horny'. "I can hardy control my desire if a woman exhales on me and her breath is really fuggy and stagnant," he enthuses.
Alan has met fellow bad breath fans on internet forums, and says a lot of them like the smell of stale cigarettes. He knows one gent who pays women to cough in his face after they've chewed old-fashioned throat pastilles, while another likes to be forced to smell bad breath caused by foods like onions or curry. Alan's preference is for rotting teeth.
"Tooth decay emits a spooky, cloyingly sweet odour, which I find exciting" he explains. "The visual element switches me on too, when a girl's teeth are furred up with bright plaque. I like it best when there are no gaps between each tooth, just a sunshine-yellow block of hard tartar."
Alan's girlfriend has healthy gnashers, but she's happy to cater for his fetish, and sometimes she won't brush them for up to a week if she thinks he deserves a treat.
But when foul smell fetishists can't find anyone to indulge their passions, they improvise. Reader Bonnie's boyfriend loves the smell of her feet when they're sweaty, but gets bored when she insists on washing them. To ensure he regularly gets a foul smell fix, he wears three extra pairs of insoles in his shoes every day, to make his feet sweat profusely. He ceremoniously lays the damp, mouldering insoles out on the floor each morning and slides them into his trainers one by one, sniffing them deeply as he goes.
These stories may make most folk gag, but smell fetishes are surprisingly common – especially the desire to sniff farts. Many attractive young women, such as The Queen Of Farts, Kelsey Obsession (below), and Péteuse (right), make money by running fart-based porn sites, featuring pictures and videos of themselves letting rip.
Like Luci, Péteuse understands that different types of food cause different gases. She eats a varied diet in order to please as many fart enthusiasts as possible, who often beg her to scoff lentil soup, muesli, or Argentinan beef.
"My fans love to tell me how they think my ass gas smells," says Péteuse. "They send me lengthy descriptions of how they imagine my trumps must whiff of broccoli, rotten eggs and squidgy cheese – but in reality they smell like the inside of a pumpkin!"
Viewers are also turned on by watching Péteuse fart, and some make specific requests. One wanted her to guff while sitting on a huge beach ball, while another had a more worrying fantasy.
"One guy wanted me to break wind all over a copy of the Qu'ran and say terrible anti-Muslim things in a vicious way, which I refused to do," she says.
Kelsey Obsession's fans have visual requests, too. "Many of them like to watch me fart on small china figurines, like a giantess towering over models of tiny people and powerfully releasing my butt bubbles in their faces – it's a domination thing," she shrugs.
Some fart freaks like the camera to be close as possible to Kelsey's bare asshole, so they can see her trumping. "They like to see my puckered sphincter open as the air pushes out, then squeeze back closed when I'm done," she giggles. "But plenty of guys simply focus on the stench of the fart. For loads of blokes, it's all about the smell. They describe how they'd like me to fart in their mouths so they can taste my gases."
Veteran wind machine, The Queen Of Farts, receives tons of fanmail about her bottom burps. "Some guys love the sounds that my guffs make. I get letters enthusing about my chokingly strong farts echoing in the toilet bowl or squeaking out through a tight pair of jeans," she laughs. "Yet many fans are totally smell-oriented. They tell me how they've buried their faces in the cushion after a woman has risen from a chair, hoping to catch a sniff of her emissions."
There may be a scientific explanation as to why some folks lust after pongs that others despise. An article in New Scientist magazine revealed there are around 400 smell receptors in a human nose. Each one responds to a handful of specific smell molecules, which are determined by a person's genes. "Unless you are dealing with identical twins, no two persons will have the same genetic make-up for those receptors," says biochemist Boris Schilling.
Andreas Keller, a geneticist working at the Rockefeller University in New York City, agrees that people perceive smell in their own way. "Everyone smells the world with a different set of receptors, therefore it smells different to everybody," he says.
To illustrate this, Charles Wysocki of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia studied androstenone – an odorant produced in boars' testicles.
"About 50 per cent of people smelled nothing when exposed to it, while 35 per cent detected a powerful urine smell, and the other 15 per cent thought it was pleasantly floral, musky and woody," he explains.
That means that foul smell fetishists may not perceive the scents they love to be foul at all... so their apparently 'disgusting' cravings are nothing to be sniffed at.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that foul smell fetishes aren't just down to DNA, though. In some cases, the kink appears to have Freudian roots: the fetishist can identify a formative experience that led them to associate a particular smell – however horrible – with sex.
Kelsey Obsession says she's received multiple emails about childhood incidents in which her fans smelled a fart squeezed out by their primary school crush, and became turned on by this exposure to the normally-private workings of their love interest's body.
Other fetishists' early experiences are of a less innocent, more explicitly sexual nature. Bizarre reader BileyCoyote7, aged 36, gets an erection when he smells vomit, and thinks it's because of an incident that happened in the toilets of the hardware superstore where he had a Saturday job as a teen.
"The older blokes used to stick pictures of Page three girls on the walls in the loos, and as a randy 16-year-old I couldn't resist regularly tossing one off during my lunchbreaks," he says. "Once, a colleague came in and was sick in the adjacent cubicle, just as I orgasmed. The sudden fear of being caught turned to relief when I realised that my workmate was preoccupied by being ill, so didn't realise I was wanking, and the rush of adrenaline was incredible! Since then, my cock's acted like Pavlov's dog whenever I smell vomit."
Some fetishists have been influenced by pop culture, rather than their own experiences. Kelsey's heard from several fart fans who say their fascination stems from comical storylines in kids' movies, such as the diarrhoea scene in Dumb & Dumber. The pleasure they got from laughing at something as a child has grown into sexual pleasure as an adult.
But foul smell fetishism can also develop entirely in adulthood, and can be about domination. For fanatics who are into masochism, being forced to inhale a horrific odour is part of the thrill of being tortured.
"I love it when my girlfriend commands me to breathe in her stinky bum gas, dominatrix-style" reveals Bizarre reader Luca Blackthorn.
Péteuse says she's contacted by many men who fixate on being "punished" by her farts and fetid feet, including one chap who wants her to strap her cheesy ballet slippers around his nose, tie him up in an unbearably hot room, and position him so that the switch to turn on a cooling fan is just out of his reach.
Some stench enthusiasts claim that bad smells make them feel 'primal', like BeastieGal, who says, "My husband and I like straddling each other in a 69 position and farting, because the smell brings out our 'animalism'."
Other fans claim to get hot and bothered about the element of taboo linked to an awful reek.
"Girls are cute, and farts are gross, so it's erotic to smell a nice young lady's fart since it's something naughty that she's not supposed to do," muses Kelsey Obsession.
But many fetishists aren't concerned with working out why they get off on nasty niffs – they're happy just to focus on their perverse pleasure. For Luci, that means continuing to experiment with foul funks. She's recently discovered that the smell of a playmate's wee is "ruined" if her partner's eaten hotdogs, but "delightful" if they've ingested grape soda and mint sweets, which "can make your piss taste minty if you eat enough of them".
If Luci's girlfriend eats so many sweeties that her teeth start to rot, maybe she can drop Alan B a line…
