Tortilla chips are the love of my life, so crunchy, so fun when paired with salsa. The only thing I don't love is that some of them could definitely use a nutrition makeover. Corozonas Sancks are made with plant sterols, which have been shown to have an impact on lowering "bad" LDL cholesterol. I decided to try out Corazonas Salsa Picante Tortilla Chips because I also love bold flavors and spicy chips, plus they have the added benefit of being made with whole oats in addition to plant sterols.
These tortilla chips have the usual triangular shape, but you can see actual pieces of the rolled oats embedded in the chips. The salsa picante flavor isn't extremely hot, instead, each chip has a mild salsa taste that works with the flavor of the tortilla chip itself. These chips would be appropriate with a healthy dip or on their own. If you don't like spicy chips, I think that you would appreciate the mild flavor of this. If you do like it red hot, well pair it with your favor HOT salsa and prepare to enjoy!
A 1 ounce serving of Corazonas Salsa Picante Tortilla Chips provides 140 calories from 7 grams of fat (11% of the daily value), of which only 0.5 grams is saturated fat. There is also 5% of the DV for sodium, 3 grams of dietary fiber and 2 grams of protein.
The ingredients list is not too bad at all: Masa Flour (stone ground corn masa flour, trace of lime), Vegetable Oil (may contain expeller pressed high oleic safflower, mid-oleic sunflower and/or canola oil), Whole Oats, Tomato Powder, Oat Fiber. Contains 2% or less of: Sea Salt, Natural Plant Sterols, Maltodextrin, Cheddar Cheese (milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes), Whey [milk], Onion Powder, Cilantro Powder, Buttermilk, Salt, Natural Flavors [soybeans], Garlic Powder, Jalapeño Powder, Sugar, Smoked Paprika, Lemon Juice Powder, Beet Powder. Contains Milk, Soybeans. These chips are vegetarian.
A 7 ounce bag of chips cost $2.79 at Kroger where I found them in the "health food" section. The calorie count is similar to most other chips, but there is less saturated fat and more fiber. They were delectable yet healthy, which is a winning combination in my book. I preferred this flavor to the Corazonas Margarita Lime Tortilla Chips.

Cash Advances are More Convenient Than Ever
If you are having a hard time wondering how you are going to make it until your next payday, you may consider applying for cash advances. After all, not everyone has a big savings account that they can withdraw from whenever they need some money. If you are like the average person, you are most likely moving from one paycheck to the next. There is no possible way that you cannot afford to wait until payday to take care of these things.
For example, maybe you don't have any groceries in your home. If this were the case, your family would go hungry while waiting for you to get paid. Rather than worrying about any of this, apply for http://media68.net cash advances online. You can have the answer that you are searching for within minutes of applying. This way, you will have money on its way to your bank account before you know it.
Of course, you will need to provide certain things before you can be approved for your loan. For example, you will need to be able to prove that you do have a source of income. It doesn't necessarily need to be a full time job. It could be a Social Security income or even a monthly alimony check. As long as it is a reliable income, you can use it. If you have direct deposit, you will need to show a copy of your bank statement. If you can provide these documents, you should have no problems getting approved right away.
Maybe your bad credit has held you back in the past. Thankfully, this isn't going to be an issue with cash advances. In fact, nobody is going to check your credit. You will never have to worry about the embarrassment that comes from being denied due to financial mistakes that you have made in the past. Your income is your source of credit. Apply online today and you will have an answer before you know it. Generally, the amount of money that you will be able to borrow is going to depend on the amount of income that you have. If you need a little extra, you can always talk with your payday lender to find out what can be done.
Never allow a lack of money to stand in your way when it comes to things that need to be done. For example, if your car was giving you problems, you would want to get it fixed right away. Imagine if you could not go to work because your car wasn't running right. This would cut off your income and maybe even your job. Don't take any chances. Borrow the money that you need and pay it back on your next payday. Visit here for more loan information.
Another benefit of cash advances is that it isn't a long term monthly obligation. Generally, your loan will be paid off within a couple of paydays. Apply online today and get the money that you need to take care of your financial obligations. Once your loan has been paid off, you can always borrow more money.

Fit & Flare Sheer Back Dress
Sexy AND Classy!!
WOW! This dress is everything. I'm used to seeing tight "clubbing" type of dresses at bebe, but lately I've been seeing really cute, wearable dresses for the day and night without being too sexy. This dress is stylish and classy and the perfect LBD. Bought in my usual size, size S #I'm 5'7" and 135-140 lbs#. Fits perfectly. I'm dying to wear it out!!
October 25, 2012
Absoultely love this dress. Was looking for something beautiful to wear for my one year anniversary and this dress was a no brainer. I am a bit more conserative so at first I tried this dress on more for 'fun.' But one I had it on, wow it looked gorgeous! I did buy it a size smaller, that strechy material really sucks you in and gives that hour glass figure. I am over 5'9 so I went with the Small purely due to shortness because the XS I tried on for fun was just a tad short, I usually buy Mediums in Bebe dresses. Love love love this dress, if you have an event you want to turns heads, this is the outfit!
October 22, 2012
Head turner
I bought this dress last week as soon as I saw it online and as soon as I saw the plunging v neck with the sheer black overlay I was in love!
When I went to try it on I was worried about the length of the dress because I am very long legged and almost every dress I wear comes up to my butt, but in length it fit above the knee: not too short, and not too long to where I could show some leg still.
The "sleeveless" part of the dress and the bottom portion is made of stretchy but thicker material so its perfect for fall and durable and I must add soft!
No zipper, I was kind of worried about that so "little black dress approved" deodorant.
Many people looked and some had the guts to tell me I looked amazing (we know how people are).
Any woman who wears this will feel confident and like I said "secure".
October 19, 2012
i love the sheer deep v neck

YES! The Best WiFi Security Camera
By Russb2
from Alto, NM
Used for home security while away.Would be even better with a battery backup.
The Best? I would hate to see the worst!
By Frustrated Purchaser
from Chicago
If this is the best camera, I would hate to see the worst. It took me over an hour to set it up the first time and I have a degree in Electrical Engineering. Afterwards, it constantly needs resetting (by pulling its power source and plugging back in) to get it to work. I have even tried adding a wifi router extender to boost the wifi connection, and it still loses its connection regularly.
Quality Product with some surprises
By Norm
from Los Angeles, CA
The camera unit has what you would expect plus a few extras. The initial setup was simple but did require searching for the device using the software in order to setup WiFi. The microphone works but does pickup some background sounds - presumable from the unit itself. I was surprised the unit has a embedded speaker. You need to speak very softly to use it. The max video is not HD but SD - that was not clear (to me) but not too important as video quality is very good. Night time recording quality is very good within 15ft/4m. I did not try further. WiFi is awesome! Email notifications are fantastic. Worth the purchase price!
By RICK
from LONG ISLAND
Excellent But!
By T Dub
from Edgewater, MD
Easy to use but terrible instructions, not in good English. No mention of setting up SD card storage. Also needs an extendable power cord.
By M, a mechanical engineering graduate
from Naples FL
There were no full directions included only the quick set up instructions. The many features on the camera were not intuitive. The camera worked while connected to the router, but did not with Wi-Fi even though it found the Wi-Fi. The camera went through a routine of turning around then it began quacking. I returned it for a refund.

Orthopedic Surgeon Ed Stolarski Targets "The More Complex and Challenging (Cases), the Better"
SARASOTA—Board-certified orthopedic surgeon Edward Stolarski, MD, is on track to perform 800 to 1,000 minimally invasive hip and knee replacements this year.
Since relocating from the Cleveland Clinic in Naples, where he helped develop the practice's total joint replacement program, to the Kennedy-White Orthopaedic Center in Sarasota in 2005, Stolarski has quickly built a solid reputation as one of Florida's leading orthopedic surgeons. He is an industry leader and developer of new approaches of joint replacement, allowing faster rehabilitation and shorter hospital stays. Among other pioneering moves, Stolarski is training national and international surgeons in the anterior total hip replacements and hip revision techniques.
In 2007, Doctors Hospital of Sarasota named Stolarski Physician of the Year.
"The more complex and challenging the cases are, especially problematic joint replacements, the better," he said. "It gives me great satisfaction to see the quality of life dramatically improved for my patients after they've had joints replaced."
Stolarski's case load in patient age ranges from replacing both hips on a 14-year-old girl with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis who had missed 100 days of school and "has gone from being crippled to her mom worrying about her out dating," he said, to replacing the knee on a very healthy 94-year-old woman who had been confined to a wheelchair and "did just fine."
The anterior approach for a total hip replacement is a huge benefit for patients, Stolarksi said.
"It's incredibly minimally invasive with no muscles being cut, hip precautions are greatly reduced, implants are actually put in more accurately, and patients return very quickly to their activities, including yoga, martial arts, as well as high-risk careers such as police work and fire fighters. No special tables are utilized and patient's leg lengths have been perfect because of how they are positioned. We utilize fluoroscopy in the OR to verify implant positioning and leg lengths. There's no guesswork."
Within two weeks of having their joints replaced, most healthy, motivated 40- to 60 year-olds still use some sort of ambulatory aid—crutches or a cane. Within six weeks, they're playing golf. Within 12 weeks, they're playing racquet sports. Sometime between six and 12 weeks, they'll start using weights again.
A large portion of Stolarski's practice involves revision hip and knee surgery.
"Used to be, people needing a new hip or a new knee were told to wait as long as they could bear it because their implants would only last so long," he said. "With today's technology, revisions turn out very well. It's still a difficult and individual decision as to when a joint replacement should be done for each patient."
Stolarski, who was an electrical engineer before studying medicine, said his fellowship training in adult reconstruction and the ever-expanding demands for joint replacement led him to focus only on those issues.
"When someone comes in with a problematic hip or knee—it may be as simple as an athlete wanting to get back to playing sports, or as complex as having been bounced around from doctor to doctor with bone loss or infection—the buck stops with me," he said. "Unless there are other factors, such as medical conditions preventing surgery, most complex revisions can be addressed."
Even surgeons select Stolarski to perform surgery on them. He replaced a hip in a fellow orthopedic surgeon utilizing the anterior approach and he was working again six days later. He's also a teacher of surgeons. This November, he'll be in Henderson, Nevada, conducting the Masters Course for Total Hip Replacements via the Anterior Approach. The attendees are surgeons who are performing this approach, but want to enhance their abilities. "It's a great educational experience," he said, "both in the lecture hall as well as the cadaver lab."
Another new technology Stolarski is exploring and utilizing: patient-specific cutting blocks for total knee patients. By using an MRI of the knee and certain x-rays, a cutting block is made for that individual patient.
"I tell patients it makes me more accurate and reduces blood loss," he said. "Both of these advantages turn into longer lasting, better functioning knee replacements that are less likely to be painful or need to be redone."
Stolarski is concerned about one aspect of hip and knee replacements: who will pay for the advanced technology implants and also further research and development.
"I'm worried about it," he admitted. "For example, I had a 43-year-old male patient who needed a total hip replacement. I wanted to use an implant that was more advanced and cost more than usual. He needed an implant that would last as long as possible. I needed all kinds of OKs before I could do it. My reimbursement doesn't change with the type of implant, but the implant cost itself is higher. This increased cost is absorbed by the hospital. The problem is that the hospital is reimbursed a set amount, regardless of what I put in a patient. They (the hospitals) are already running on a very thin margin. I realize that hospitals can't afford to lose money on these procedures, and insurance companies and patients are limited to what they can pay. It's a very difficult problem that needs to be resolved."
Getting active people with arthritis back to what they enjoy doing quickly, safely and with minimal disruption in their lives, both short- and long-term, is very rewarding, said Stolarski.
"For the majority of our younger patients, the arthritic joint is the only thing slowing them down, and that's readily resolved with today's technology. We focus on techniques and approaches that are minimally invasive and let them lead a normal life."

Jones Airways LLC recently broke ground on an 18,000-square-foot hangar, Stephen Wright is finishing an 8,000-square-foot building and Dr. Tim Viser will soon start on a 2,000-square-foot hangar.
Perry Stone of Voice of Evangelism and Mark Johnson of J&S Restaurants have put down deposits on sites.
In addition, Jetport manager Mark Fidler is in discussions with an investor from Texas who is interested in building a hangar at the new airport.
The Cleveland Municipal Airport Authority recently awarded a $1.73 million contract to Merit Construction of Knoxville for 20 T-hangars.
Fidler said Monday afternoon all of the T-hangars are leased and he is starting a waiting list.
"I expected them to be occupied and that's what I indicated in the proposed budget," Fidler said.
The T-hangars should be finished by late August or early September.
Fidler said that in the not too distant future, he expects to see more T-hangars or another large community hangar.
In addition to hangar construction, anchors for 10 planes should be installed on the tarmac by the end of the week.
Fidler said the airport is attracting business travel to Cleveland that was not possible at Hardwick Field. Recently, Renfro officials flew to Cleveland to announce a major expansion at its plant on Michigan Avenue Road. In August, Whirlpool Corporation is hosting a conference that will bring in nine jets.
"Neither one of those would have been possible at Hardwick," he said. "Pilots are beginning to find us. More people will find us after the Instrument Approach Procedures are published at the end of this month."

Transportation in Zurich
As with the trams, Zurich's bus network runs from the early morning until midnight and is clean, modern and easy to navigate. Don't forget to buy your ticket at the Haltestelle (bus/tram stop) vending machines before boarding.
Fiercely expensive, Zurich taxis can be hard to find and do serious damage to your bank balance. With the city's great public transport network, cycle paths and walkable areas, taxis should be only a last resort.
Zurich's quays are ideal for exploring on foot, and many of the city's major attractions, such as the Altstadt (old town), are conveniently clustered close to both banks of the Limmat River.
Rent your car
Clean, modern highways link Zurich to the rest of Switzerland and other parts of Europe. The best parking option is to buy a daily parking permit for residential blue-zone areas or for long-term parking, you can opt for the airport and use the efficient public transport system.
Transportation tips
The Zurich Card offers three days' unlimited travel on public transport, as well as free admission to more than 40 museums. Bike is the other alternative. In the summer months, you can hire bicycles free from the main railway station.

An insider's take on spanking, S&M and the new porn law
This is a guest post by Pandora Blake.
[Caution: this article contains links to images that some may find offensive, disturbing and NOT SAFE FOR WORK]
"Show me a new medium and I'll guarantee it will attract censorship as soon as it becomes popular (or, in some instances, once it attracts public notice)" says Ramsey Campbell. He's writing in the introduction to Dances with Werewolves, the autobiography of Niki Flynn, an American-born writer, model - and star of "extreme" porn films. Niki is an intelligent, independent, articulate woman who has made a career as a "professional victim". She's also a friend. She has a website, a popular blog, large numbers of fans who appreciate her DVDs, photostories and internet movie clips. I act alongside her in a couple of them.
Niki and I make films in which we are punished, disciplined, abused, tormented, assaulted, abducted, tied up and generally mistreated. We do it because we love it. We don't earn huge amounts of money and no-one has ever made us do anything we didn't want to do - or at least, not more than once. You run into the occasional creep in every industry, but the world of corporal punishment porn is, in my experience, understandably careful about consent. Niki does it for her own intriguing reasons, which she describes eloquently in her writing. She finds danger compelling, and exploring the most extreme scenarios of the human condition through roleplay and acting, in a safe and consensual context, is when she feels most alive.
I can certainly identify with that. I also do it for a straightforward reason which is perhaps easier to understand, which is that I like pain.
Not everybody does. Not everyone who plays with pain likes it in the same way, either. Even I don't always enjoy the pain of a kink experience. Sometimes the point of the scene is that I won't, that I'll be frightened beforehand and, afterwards, proud of my endurance. It takes courage to surrender absolutely, however much you trust your partner. Usually because you can trust them to push you. Because you need them to push you.
I can't explain my kink to you in a single article. I've been writing about it for years and still haven't fully expressed it. Partly this is because it's as hard to make generalisations about kink as to make them about sex. I enjoy certain erotic pain experiences and I find sexual surrender profound and fulfilling, but the nature of my submission differs from partner to partner. With every person I play with, the texture and meaning of the experience is different.
I can't speak for perverts in general, or even for submissives and masochists in general. What I can tell you is that my earliest memories are my four-year-old daydreams of being hurt and helpless, that kink has been a core part of my identity even before I knew what it was. I can tell you that I'm not a victim of violent abuse, and I'm not a rape survivor. My parents are kind and liberal and smart, and I was raised to ask questions and critique the arguments I was presented with; this isn't about re-enacting some traumatic event of my childhood.
I can also tell you that it is absolutely possible to consent to suffering. People consent to suffering all the time. We risk broken bones to go skiing; we get tattooed; we fall in love. We get drunk even though we know the hangover will be horrible.
I'm an independent, self-employed, over-ambitious perfectionist. I work hard and play hard and set myself tough goals. I need the profound emotional release that comes from, just for an evening, having no responsibilities at all. I need the deep, kittenish satisfaction that comes from offering myself to my lover, doing what I'm told and being found pleasing. I need the emotional simplicity that arises from being given very simple goals. Don't move. Trust me. Endure this. Pain grounds me in my body better than any meditation technique I've ever tried. It cleanses my psyche of all the self-inflicted anxiety and guilt that accumulates during my average working week. It leaves me feeling renewed.
Being a professional fetish model is less intimate, but no less intense. When I'm working I strive to create something emotionally powerful and visually beautiful, something I would enjoy watching. I take pride in my performance, and get a kick out of testing my bravery and stamina. The heightened emotions create strong professional bonds, and there's always a lot of laughter on set.
I have a deep and abiding fascination for the more creative expressions of human sexuality. I don't need to be turned on by everything I do on camera: it's all about getting inside the mindset, discovering what it is about this particular act that gets people going, and learning to push those buttons. It's one of the most exciting challenges an actor can face.
Some of us are more adventurous than others. My friend Beverly Bacci is a well-known spanking actress, but she also models for fetishes I'd never even heard of before she told me about them. One of her regular clients is a "horror variety theatre" specialising in murder fetish. Not my cup of tea; I like my pornstars alive and wriggling. I couldn't say whether Beverly enjoys her work in that way, but her professional enthusiasm is infectious. It's an ambitious challenge in acting and make-up, with obvious appeal to those with a taste for the gothic and macabre. She writes candidly about the shoots in her blog; it's perfectly clear that no models were harmed in the making of these videos. Like me, Beverly is an independent agent, and any misguided outside attempts to deny her that agency are infantilising and misogynistic.
On Monday 26th January, the new legislation making it illegal to possess "extreme" porn came into effect. The day before, I stood in Parliament Square clutching a hand-made placard, protesting against a badly-worded and unnecessary curtailment of our civil liberties. Parliament didn't listen, of course, any more than it had listened to nearly three years of protests and discussion since the consultation was released in 2006.
As adult members of a democracy, we are entrusted with a vote in choosing our countries' leaders. We have a voice, however much it may be drowned out by others. We are granted autonomy over our own bodies, up to a point; we can eat and exercise as much as we please, smoke, drink, and cut ourselves with razors if that's what we want to do, without breaking the law. Every adult in this country has the legal right to conceive and raise children, and fill their heads with whatever ideas as they fancy. That's a hell of a responsibility.
What this government does not trust us with is sexual agency. The extreme porn legislation sends a strong message that UK citizens are not to be trusted with pictures of violent sex. The excitement might go to our little heads, and we might rush out and re-enact them with no thought for the safety of ourselves or others.
This is tremendously insulting. I'm female, so I'm used to legislation and media trying to deny me volition and agency. It happens all the time in films and TV. Now, the government is telling me that I'm not allowed to possess obscene pictures because it doesn't trust me to use them responsibly. What will the government do next? Make it illegal to rape a blow-up doll, wank over a photo of a friend or desecrate a photo of an enemy? Make it illegal to draw violent pictures, or write about extreme fantasies? Make it illegal to talk about them?
Let's think about the argument here, for a second. The one championed so passionately by Liz Longhurst and the Daily Mail, that violent porn causes violent crime. The court case into Jane Longhurst's tragic murder did not demonstrate a causal connection between the extreme porn Graham Coutts liked to look at and his act of homicide; nor has it ever been demonstrated that there is a de facto link between one act (looking at violent imagery) and another (committing violent crimes). The debate on violent videogames has raged for years without conclusion.
Everyone in the country is now affected by this law, despite the fact that the vast majority of us are not violent sexual offenders, and never will be, especially if we're female. This law has nothing to do with violent crime, and everything to do with censorship.
Censorship never works. It never has. Here's a bit of relevant history from Ramsey Campbell's introduction:In the 50s, horror comics aimed at adults apparently had to be stopped, and so they were in Britain by the Children and Young Persons (Harmful Publications) Bill, encouraged by a newspaper outcry under headlines such as 'Now Ban This Filth That Poisons Our Children' and 'Make Bonfires of Them' (the comics, not the children), along with a persistent media claim that a gunman called Alan Poole had been influenced by his own collection of hundreds of horror comics, although in fact he owned just a solitary comic, a Western one eventually described in Parliament as 'not very alarming'.
A media campaign that uses an unexamined scare story or a single unrepresentative crime to whip up hysteria until the government feels forced to bring in extra censorship - it's a recurring turn of events. In the early 80s it was the "video nasty": while the term was coined by a publicist to sell horror fiction, it was hijacked to describe videos the public was supposed to find objectionable. The Daily Mail urged 'Ban the Sadist Videos' and clearly had the ear of Berard Braine, who referred in the House of Lords to 'a grave and growing social evil which no civilised or caring society would tolerate ... a filthy and pernicious trade' (which is to say, making and distributing horror films he didn't like).
How is a fetish movie different from any other TV of film scene attempting to realistically depict a violent event? Do we assume that all actors taking on gritty or gruesome roles must be helpless abductees with no ability to give informed consent? It's not even as if Hollywood is particularly asexual - half of the violent scenes in modern films are intended to be titillating, and to criminalise fetish porn while making an exception for classified films is to set up an explicit and unashamed double standard. The scariest thing about the extreme porn legislation is not that it assumes sexual narratives are automatically immoral, it's that the difference is defined as not being in the intention of the creator, but the mind of the viewer.
Owning a DVD of Kill Bill is fine, but owning an excerpt of the schoolgirl death scene in a folder marked "wank material" gives the police grounds to prosecute - particularly if they've already decided you're a bit dodgy and don't have anything better to pin on you. This legislation creates a thought crime in UK law, and Big Brother is watching YOU masturbate.
I'm familiar with the old excuse that some murder fetish porn and some rape porn depicts real non-consensual acts, and that's the nasty stuff this law is aimed at. Give me a break. Rape and murder are already crimes. It's stupid and dangerous to criminalise fiction just because ignorant prudes can't tell the difference. At best, this law has achieved nothing except fuel prejudice against kink, and at worst it's open to abuse or over-zealous enforcement by the whole judicial system, from street bobbies to high court judges.
The ironic thing is that in some ways kink has become increasingly acceptable. Films like Secretary and shows like Diary of a Call Girl bring fetish into the mainstream. Ever since Max Mosley successfully sued The News of the World, the press has, with some exceptions, tended to be positive. Certainly the industry has been getting increasingly progressive. Feminist porn is coming into its own; an increasing number of kinky sites are woman-led, and the internet has enabled a level of transparency and accountability that makes it very difficult to mistreat a model and get away with it. If the legislators were at all familiar with this industry rather than making uninformed assumptions from the punter's point of view, they'd know all this.
Put bluntly, the government doesn't trust us. Especially if we're doing anything it doesn't understand.

At least she does it only in her spare time with consenting partners. Labour voters want that for life from the state, & inflict it on the rest of the population!
Still isn't my cup of tea though. Am far more "conventional". But I don't view it as my place to stop people engaging in this sort of doing with each other... - 20 February 2009 at 08:59

"What will the government do next? Make it illegal to rape a blow-up doll"
Didn't some chap get prosecuted for having sex with his bicycle a few months ago?
Thank you for an interesting post.
This is another in a long line of stupid and unnecessary laws that criminalise people who are not criminals (presumeably including me after following your links). As you, rightly, point out we already have laws to deal with non-consensual sexual or violent acts.
I do have one question - the balloon thing - how does that work? - 20 February 2009 at 10:17

What is happening in your country? Once a proud bastion of freedom and liberty, it's now becoming a place only for the polite and proper. Is it the political correctness movement? I just don't understand it. The stiff upper lip has been replaced with shriveled balls.

Very brave, well reasoned, great writing - and fills me with despair for the cause of personal freedom.
As long as there are people like you speaking out then all is not lost. Thank you. - 21 February 2009 at 10:28
I completely respect your right to live your life the way you want. But what does it say about your "fans" that they get their kicks from watching women being hurt and abused? And doesn't it send the messge that women are all "brats" and naughty schoolgirls who enjoy being beaten up?

Briony, I'm one of Pandora's fans. And I'm a feminist. And kinky. And a woman.
Why on earth would a spanking movie — or any movie — send any sort of message about "all" women?
Plus, you don't do justice to the diversity of our fetish. There's sooo much more out there besides brats and schoolgirls. Seriously. Go check it out. - 21 February 2009 at 19:45
Unlike most of H's upstanding commentors, this kind of stuff absolutely IS my cup tea, and this article only confirms my belief that kinky people are smarter than nulab prudes, and better able to make decisions about their sex lives.
I doubt anyone will ever be prosecuted under this law. I hope I'm right. - 21 February 2009 at 20:02
- SPANKEDHORTIC said...
thank you for inviting Pandora Blake to write this guest article. There are very few others that could represent the point of view of the spanking and BDSM communities in such an eloquent and accurate manner.
Briony wrote- "But what does it say about your "fans" that they get their kicks from watching women being hurt and abused? And doesn't it send the message that women are all "brats" and naughty schoolgirls who enjoy being beaten up?"
- To that it can only be said that there are just as many male brats and naughty adult schoolboys, out here in the world, that enjoy being "beaten up" both on an amateur level like myself and whilst modeling for kinky video producers. I find the general argument amongst those that support the recently activated laws that they are some how supporting the feminist cause unsubstantiated. Although the laws themselves to not distinguish between men and women, the general point, that is so often heard from it's supporters, that it is there to protect women can only get the response from male bottoms and subs that the choice to go and get "beaten up" should not only be open to men. This is sexism in its most base and dangerous form, not unlike the attitudes of many in the 19th century that men should have the right to have the opportunity to choose their political leaders whereas women should not. Men should have the right to choose to be "beaten up" in a safe, sane and consensual manner if they wish, on an amateur level or as a professional model. My sisters within the world of spanking and BDSM should have exactly the same right to make that choice.
These unreasonable laws are bad enough in themselves, the openly sexist attitude of many of it's supporters is, frankly, intolerable.

Thank you, Ms Blake. A brave and gentle post.
My only trouble with arguing that the case that people who carry out sexual crimes aren't influenced by the pornographic material they consume is unproven is that I can't see how you could ever prove it. I observe, broadly speaking, a connection between the things I think and the way I act; but I benefit from a nice, stable upbringing and highly-developed systems of internal moral sanction, like a lot of fortunate people. Not everyone's like that. What the State should do about it is another matter, of course. - 22 February 2009 at 16:28

Thanks everyone for your comments. It's an honour to be able to write something here, and I really appreciate you taking the time to read and reply.
Asquith - Is representative democracy consensual? Gorden Brown's leadership arguably isn't...
And I wish everyone who disagreed with me took your approach to it.
Wasp_box - Hey, thanks for your reply :)
I think the bicycle incident was a public nuisance/indecency thing rather than anything else? I could be wrong though.
No idea about the balloon thing. I think it's an extension of latex fetish, but there's certainly more to it than that. I think the list in the entry I linked is are quite revealing, as they show what the client is looking for and what the trigger points are.
Briony - Your first sentence is immediately contradicted about your next question. My "fans" include men and women, subs and doms. I'm a "fan" of kinky porn myself. I was looking at pictures of men and women (mostly women) being hurt and abused for years before I started working in the industry. Are you saying it's okay for me to look at porn, but not for men? Or are you saying it's okay for me to act in porn, but not to look at it?
Misogyny is sometimes defined as the view that women do not have individual personalities; that any general statement about women applies to all women. People who think like this are going to think like this whether or not they look at porn, and all we can really do is wait for them to die and make sure our sons are better brought up. And people who don't think like this are going to look at kinky porn exactly the same way I do - as a fantasy.
I've fantasised about being hurt and abused, or watching others being hurt and abused, for most of my life. This doesn't mean I want to be assaulted or raped. Quite the contrary - I'm much more aware of the risks than some of the women I know, and much more inclined to respond with anger to any perceived threat to my person. Nor does it mean I would wish harm on any other person. Fantasy and reality. They're two very different things.
I absolutely believe that kinky porn, whether the submissive figure is male or female, is best when accompanied by informed debate. I'm much more interested in a video of someone being hurt and abused if I know a bit about the model, know that they enjoy what they do, know a bit about their reasons for doing it. I find it hard to enjoy porn where the consent of the models isn't explicit - I'm much more interested if the models have a voice and I can hear in their own words that they got off on making it just asuch as I get off on watching it. So I can sort of see where you're coming from. But I wouldn't ever presume to insist that everyone watching porn subscribe to the same ideals. It's a question of personal taste.
I think that modern advertising, music videos and vanilla porn send a much more misogynistic than any kinky porn, which is, as I've said in my entry, much more focussed on female desire. I'd like to see more female-gaze spanking porn (and intend to produce my own) but there's already a fair amount out there.
And don't forget that an awful lot of kinky porn is male hurting male, or female hurting male. Do you have a problem with the "message" that sends?
If you're getting a "message" about all women from the kind of porn I'm talking about, I think this says much more about you than it does about the porn. - 22 February 2009 at 19:24

This is an extremely well done piece-- thanks to Pandora for writing it and to H for choosing so well.
As a feminist woman who only came to terms with her own kinkiness in her 40's, I have some sympathy for Briony's views. After all, mine weren't very different a few years ago, and they were probably the primary reason that I hadn't explored an essential part of my own sexuality. Happily, greater exposure to the kinky community has made it clear to me that they were also almost completely wrong.
Prefectdt is of course right that society tends to focus on BDSM in the context of male-dominant female-submissive activity. That's probably a reflection of our society's uneasiness with relatively new roles for men and for women, and with women's concerns (often realistic, in my view) that relinquishing hard-won control in any form can be a slippery slope.
So I too wondered about men—not women, just men-- who watch kinky videos. I didn't even consider at first that many of them enjoyed imagining themselves as the "victim," just as I do when I watch a spanking clip. I soon learned the error of that assumption, but I still remained a bit suspicious of male tops. And then, I began meeting kinky people and realized they were just like the everybody else.
The vast majority of men and women I've met in the scene treat one another with kindness and respect and look out for the interests of newcomers. Submission or dominance in one's sexual life seem to have little correlation with the extent of control or responsibility we take in other parts of our lives. Most of the men I've met who enjoy dominating women in a kinky context are fundamentally extremely respectful of women- and not in the paternalistic way of the creators of this law. They are also giddily pleased that they can bring us pleasure as they act out their own fantasies (or ours) in a safe, sane and consensual manner.
Sure, there are kinky men who are insecure and selfish and who use kink as a way to try to keep women in a less powerful position, but I doubt that's because they're kinky. There are also plenty of vanilla men who do the same, as most of us see in one way or another in our daily lives. In short, there are petty tyrants in every group in society.
There may actually be more predators in the BDSM and spanking scenes than in society as a whole, drawn in much the same way as pedophiles are drawn to children's and youth groups. Of course, the vast majority of adults who work with children are decent, dedicated people. The same is true in the kinky world. No one suggests that we should disband the Boy Scouts or youth groups because there are pedophiles in the world: we are simply more cautious about screening those who work with youth. Most of us gladly endure such screening because we also value the safety of young people. It works the same way in spanking and BDSM groups, and, as far as I can tell in, in the spanking pornography industry itself. Thus, as Pandora points out, laws forbidding the ownership or making of films made in a safe and consensual manner are absolutely unnecessary.
In addition to my fundamental concerns about censorship in a viable democratic society, I worry that this law will drive the kinky community further underground. Having an internet forum in which to discuss desires I had for so long thought that no one else shared was an essential part of becoming more fully myself, even more fully alive. Society shouldn't underestimate the human cost of denying kinky people the ability to talk to one another, to meet one another and the express our humanity in a shared community. After all, we're a distinct minority in society, and it takes networking with an explicitly kinky focus to meet one another and to learn about exploring our desires safely. To drive what are after all basic sexual needs underground seems more likely to cause an explosion than to prevent one. - 22 February 2009 at 19:55
Since people are asking what kind of person watches this, I'd like to speak up.
I get my kicks from damsels in distress it's true. When presented with a woman in pain I get a strong urge first to protect her, then to soothe her, then to progress to making her happy, most likely... ahem... through physical means.
Logic says it's how nature protects wounded and vulnerable people, by making them more attractive to potential mates who will protect them.
Certainly it takes some amount of suspension of disbelief to actually turn it into a sex game, but so does any kind of recreational sex. You're either trying for a baby or you're suspending disbelief. - 25 February 2009 at 10:39
I agree thats its a crazy law, But it only affects extreme violence in porn,
Sex does not make crime ok
assaulting someone is a crime whether yo consent it or not,
animals cannot consent sex so its criminal,
violence or intent of self harm is criminal, to provoke a potential harmful or violent situation is caution able by law enforcement,
the fact is you can still do your stuff but do not expect that broadcasting it is ok,
I LOVE porn, but you have to see reasoning within the law, it isnt a fierce as they mae it out to be, spankings fine, wankings fine. animes fine, it affects the extremitys - 28 February 2009 at 02:33
I love this article. I always get a bit depressed when I hear "Oh don't worry, it won't affect you" or "Why should I care, it doesn't affect me" (especially when the sentiment is often "Why should *you* care") - the point is that even if I happen to not have or view images that risk being illegal under the law, the law still spreads prejudice against kink as you say, and sends a message that certain consensual acts, even if entirely role-played, are "abhorrent", and comparable to real abusive acts.
There are those who support the law whilst claiming not to have anything against BDSM, but this tends to be only as far as the mildest of acts are concerned (as suggested by the Anonymous comment); "I'm okay with this - but that's just going too far".
What will be next? Since the Government is passing a law criminalising drawings of sexual images of under-18s (yes, 18, not 16; which will also catch drawings of adults if the predominant impression is of an under-18), and the Government equates the "extreme porn" law to the law on fictional child porn, a future law on "violent drawings" does not seem inconceivable.
I'm not aware of any push for written material - however, anyone who publishes or distributes written fantasy material should be wary of the Girls Aloud case. If successful, it will set the precedent that written material can be illegal under the Obscene Publications Act, as well as being the first case of material published on the Internet.
The way the laws are going, I can see it remaining legal to rape a blow-up doll or wank over a photo - but I can imagine it being illegal to draw a picture of someone raping a blow-up doll, or possess a picture of a friend "for the purpose of getting aroused by it"... The laws criminalise images but not the acts themselves; and judge people based on apparent motives, not actual motives, which makes them all the more insane.
@Briony - It says that her fans enjoy acts between consenting adults?
If we're worried about sending a message, shouldn't we be worried about much more prevalent mainstream porn, as opposed to alternative interests? Not only is the former far more widespread, but alternative fetish and SM pornography is far more likely to feature men in submissive roles and women in dominant ones, or to have same sex scenes, unlike mainstream porn. The message is that people are in a role because they choose it, and not because of their gender.
@Anonymous: "it affects the extremitys" - No, it affects entirely staged and fictional material - including for example, an extract from a legal film. I think you misunderstand the law, it's not about stopping illegal or abusive acts, it applies to consenting adults, even if it's all pretend. Are you suggesting that crime dramas on TV should be illegal, because crime itself is illegal? Of course not. This law does not criminalise based on what actually happened, it criminalises based on what the image appears to show - even if it can be proven otherwise. (Did you read Pandora's excellent and informative article here? She explains this quite clearly.)
Consenting adults role-playing with a knife are intended to come under the law, if one of them pretends to threaten the other, in an image.
So spanking's fine - but anything beyond that, who knows. Between "mild spanking with a feather duster" and "the most extreme acts conceivable", there's a whole range of BDSM acts that consenting adults do, and view. The fact that we are supposed to be happy that only the mildest of S&M acts are legal in an image (even if staged) shows how restrictive this law has become. Note also that the law has been broadened since it was originally proposed, so please don't be misled by anything you read at earlier stages. - 2 March 2009 at 12:04

This letter is in reference to the changes that are taking place at the Bradley Healthcare & Rehab Center on Peerless Road.
It has been one week since my aunt was moved from the former Alzheimer's Unit into general population with the other residents. I am just as upset now as I was then to hear about the intent to close the unit. It is obvious that the persons that made the decision to close the unit have never cared for a loved one with Alzheimer's.
Has the original reason for the unit suddenly vanished? There was an obvious need for the unit or it would never have been established. Our community continues to diagnose people with Alzheimer's. To my knowledge, there has been no cure found as of Feb. 12, 2013.
I know money is the reason for closing the unit. If I had the money that they are projecting to make for the next five years, I would donate it to them in order to keep the unit open. The residents would be able to stay where they were with people they knew.
Alzheimer's patients do not cope with change very well and my aunt is no exception. They are confused enough without the added stress of this massive change.
I was pleased with the care she was getting while assigned to the Alzheimer's Unit. The staff showed love and care as they met her needs with the love and affection she had grown accustomed to. They knew she loved chocolate ice cream. They also knew when she said, "I haven't had a thing to eat all day," that she needed a snack. This is but one example of how her needs were met on a daily basis.
My aunt is but a single person, but a proud woman she was in her formidable years. She should be allowed the dignity in her later years that she knew when she had all her faculties.
As things changed, her needs were met without any thought given to them. The staff knew each patient by name because they had all grown accustomed to one another.
The residents came to know it as home. My aunt has been a resident for 2 1/2 years. Now, her entire conversation is, "When am I going home? Get me out of here. Why am I here?"
It is sad that money takes preference over the care of our elderly. Is this what life has been reduced to?
— Phyllis Tucker

George Peacock was educated at home by his father until he was 17 years old, then he attended a school in Richmond, Yorkshire (one of the nearest towns to Denton) to prepare for entering Cambridge. In 1809 he became a student at Trinity College, Cambridge.
As an undergraduate at Cambridge he made friends with John Herschel and Charles Babbage. In 1812 he graduated, placed second to John Herschel in the examinations. He also won the second Smith's prize. In 1814 Peacock was awarded a fellowship and, in the following year, he became a tutor and lecturer in Trinity College.
While undergraduates Peacock, Herschel and Babbage planned to bring reforms to Cambridge and, in 1815, they formed the Analytical Society whose aims were to bring the advanced continental methods of calculus to Cambridge.
In 1816 the Analytical Society produced a translation of a book of Lacroix in the differential and integral calculus. The following year Peacock became an examiner and used his position to further his reforms. He wrote to one of his friends saying
I assure you that I shall never cease to exert myself to the utmost in the cause of reform, and that I will never decline any office which may increase my power to effect it. ... It is by silent perseverance only, that we can hope to reduce the many-headed monster of prejudice and make the University answer her character as the loving mother of good learning and science.
Peacock published Collection of Examples of the Application of the Differential and Integral Calculus in 1820, a publication which sold well and helped further the aims of the Analytical Society.
In 1830 he published Treatise on Algebra which attempted to give algebra a logical treatment comparable to Euclid's Elements. He has two types of algebra, arithmetical algebra and symbolic algebra. In the book he describes symbolic algebra as
the science which treats the combinations of arbitrary signs and symbols by means defined through arbitrary laws.
He also said
We may assume any laws for the combination and incorporation of such symbols, so long as our assumptions are independent, and therefore not inconsistent with each other.
Peacock extended the rules of arithmetic using what he called the principle of the permanence of equivalent forms to give his symbolic algebra, so he was not as bold in practice as the abstract ideas for symbolic algebra which he gives in theory. He investigated the basic properties of numbers, such as the distributive property, that underlie the subject of algebra.
In 1831 the British Association for the Advancement of Science was set up. One of its first aims was to obtain reports on the state and progress of various sciences from leaders in their fields. Hamilton was asked to prepare a report on mathematics but he declined. Peacock was then asked and he accepted although he restricted his report to Algebra, Trigonometry and the Arithmetic of Sines. He read his report at the 1833 meeting of the Association in Cambridge and the report was subsequently printed.
In 1836 he was appointed Lowndean professor of astronomy and geometry at Cambridge and three years later was appointed dean of Ely cathedral, spending the last 20 years of his life there.
Peacock was a reformer for his whole life. He worked hard to reform the statutes of Cambridge University and, when the Government set up a Commission to propose reforms, he was appointed to it. Although he attended meetings of the Commission, he died before the report was finished.

Banishment to the "Friend Zone"
A well-meaning friend told me that if you have an interest in a woman early on, you need to make a move immediately, otherwise you risk being banished to the friend zone, which is permanent.
However, I've seen evidence to the contrary, not in all cases but some, where the man and woman had to be friends for a while before the romance could blossom. Does anyone think that this actually could result in a marriage even stronger than if both parties jumped in right away?

Jayne Min is not your typical style blogger--in fact, she's quite the opposite! The mastermind behind beloved blog Stop It Right Now openly admits she'd rather watch funny online videos than catch up on current trends and even confesses to being in "thoughtless dressing mode" most of the time. It's that kind of fuss-free, laid-back attitude that gives Min her appeal.
Q&A with Jayne Min
Please describe your personal style in two sentences or less.
A tomboy who finally discovered she is a woman, appreciating mature high-fashion through silly, Internet-loving juvenile eyes.
How does the city you live in inspire your day-to-day style?
Los Angeles, with its year-round, near-perfect weather, keeps me pretty casual—jeans and t-shirts are the standard—so the real flair comes with footwear. Since I can drive everywhere, I don't need to test my pain tolerance. I'll always have a spare in the car. It's all about jazzing up a practical, basic outfit in LA with accessories or light outerwear, which pretty much sums up my look.
Name one go-to piece in your closet and why.
Black jeans are my everyday staple. I throw them on with Vans when I'm running late to work and then dress them up with heels and a leather jacket that are stashed in my car when I'm heading to an event right after. I reach for them the most when I'm in thoughtless dressing mode, which is 75 percent of the time. They go with anything, so it's hard to make a mistake with black jeans.
Tell us about some of your favorite current trends and why you appreciate them.
I pay attention to trends less now that I'm older. In my twenties it was about "being ahead" (which generally meant you were already behind), but now I just like to stick to ol' faithfuls—things I know will stand the test of time, like classic silhouettes, closet staples, and the occasional zany archival piece.
Who are some of your style icons and why?
I respect women like Tilda Swinton and Diane Keaton, who have distinct looks that are not rooted in being sexy or glamorous. They wear what they like as an extension of their personalities and it shows a certain mature confidence—women who wear the clothes, not vice versa.
What are some of your fashion sites/blogs?
I went through a phase of checking up on a lot of blogs, but I got too overwhelmed with work, so now I only check in on friends' blogs from time to time. Otherwise, I mostly go on Tumblr and sites like Self Service Magazine for inspiration and Vogue or Style.com to catch up on shows and news. I'd say I do the bare minimum to keep up with what's going on in fashion. I'm generally on the Internet to zone out and watch funny videos.
What are some of your favorite places to shop?
My #1 not-so-secret weapon is eBay. It's where I score most of my insane past season or rare fashion finds at heavy discounts. For basic closet building blocks (black slacks, white blouses, linen t-shirts), Zara is my go-to. And for my Acne fix or indie designers, I love Creatures of Comfort, Mohawk General Store, and Satine boutique in Los Angeles, and also Barneys New York and Saks Fifth Avenue for their great sales.
