Sorry about the sideways thing....... The giraffe is from MZ, so it should be the same as your survivor. Hopefully the buds on yours are ok. It looks like fairytale x giraffe might have taken so far. Mike |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Text of report in English by Lebanese Hezbollah Al-Manar TV website on
22 September
[Report by Batul Wahbah: "From Cairo to New York, Obama's Stances
From Cairo to New York, Obama's Stances Alter!
After his 2009 Cairo speech in which he stressed the right of Palestine
to exist, US President Barack Obama's comments at the UN General
Assembly on Wednesday underlined a serious change of position. Obama
told the UNGA that he opposes the Palestinian bid for recognition of a
state; a declaration that was met with joy and appreciation by Israeli
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. The PM lauded Obama saying that he
was wearing "a badge of honour" by insisting that negotiations are the
only way to peace. Decades of negotiations between Israel and
Palestinian leaderships have yielded no positive results for the
Palestinians. PNA leader Mahmud Abbas himself said a year earlier that
18 years of negotiations have hit the wall. At the UN, Obama said that
there could be "no shortcuts" to peace between the Israelis and the
Palestinians, and that negotiations between the two parties would be the
only means to achieving a true and lasting peace. He assured Palestinian
Pr! esident Mahmoud Abbas that a UN action would not achieve a
Palestinian state and the United States would veto any Security Council
move to recognize Palestinian statehood.
The president of a country that had waged wars on Iraq and Afghanistan
where it killed hundreds of thousands civilians, injured and displaced
millions others, had all the nerve to talk about "peace" before the UNGA
and recount Israel's tragedy of being the victim of its Arab neighbours
who have waged consecutive wars against it and sought to wipe it off the
map. 29 years this month Israel oversaw the execution of 3,500
Palestinian refugees in Lebanon during the 1982 invasion, waged more
wars during the past two decades on Lebanon and occupied Palestinian
territories, however, Obama's dream of another "four year term" has
blocked his memory. "Let's be honest: Israel is surrounded by neighbours
that have waged repeated wars against it," he said.
"Israel's citizens have been killed by rockets fired at their houses and
suicide bombs on their buses. Israel's children come of age knowing that
throughout the region, other children are taught to hate them... Israel,
a small country of less than eight million people, looks out at a world
where leaders of much larger nations threaten to wipe it off of the map.
The Jewish people carry the burden of centuries of exile, persecution,
and the fresh memory of knowing that six million people were killed
simply because of who they were," Obama said refuting his Cairo speech
in which he noted that Israel's creation had displaced the Palestinians,
and that peace required redress for their six decades of suffering.
Netanyahu was very satisfied with Obama's comments. He praised the US
president at a joint press conference prior to a meeting between them on
the sidelines of the UNGA in New York. Obama said that it was a pleasure
to welcome Netanyahu to the US, opining that Washington's "pursuit of a
just and lasting peace" is compatible with Israel's needs and "puts
Israel's security at the forefront." Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor
Lieberman also praised Obama: "I congratulate President Obama. I am
ready to sign on this speech with both hands," hailing the Obama's
omission of issues such as settlements and the 1967 borders.
Obama's excessive love to Israel had surfaced after two years in office
marred by a series of failures in foreign and home policies. Without the
Israel lobby in the US, Obama's chances of another term at the White
House are slim. In May this year, Netanyahu delivered a speech at the US
Congress. The exaggerated reaction by congressmen to every couple of
Netanyahu's sentences, as in applauding and standing up every 2 two
minutes, made the event more theatrical than political; just like
everything that involves Israel's interests and security at the expense
of the American taxpayers, the Palestinians, the Lebanese, the Syrians
and all the anti-Israel camp in the region.

Packing 400 lunches - and love - to serve the homeless
Kansas City's 'mother of the streets' rises at 4:30 each morning, packs 400 decorated bags, and then seeks out the homeless.
David Conrads
Kansas City, Mo.
For years, Marcia Merrick began her day making lunches for her two children. Her kids are grown up now, but Ms. Merrick still makes lunches every morning – 400 of them. Each decorated paper bag contains a peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich or a bean burrito, chips, fruit, and two homemade cookies. She also includes a note of encouragement – and then distributes them to the homeless of Kansas City, Mo.
Dubbed the "mother of the streets," Merrick starts every day (Christmas and other holidays included) at 4:30 a.m. so she can finish her preparations and make the 15-minute drive to downtown Kansas City by 6 a.m., the time when most homeless shelters close and their overnight guests are turned out. She also makes stops at homeless encampments tucked away in secluded spots around the fringes of the city, under bridges and highway overpasses, and along the banks of the Missouri River.
Each day is a little different. She gives out half of the 400 lunches in the morning and the rest during a similar afternoon run, before the shelters open again at 4 p.m. The time in between is taken up with other tasks, such as driving someone to a social services office or to court or a health clinic. She also gives away items like clothing and bedding based on individual needs. In addition, Merrick and the volunteers who work with her help some 370 homeless families a year.
Merrick doesn't just feed and clothe the homeless. She talks with them, learns their names, listens to their stories, and gives them hugs and encouraging words. As a result, she's well known on the streets of Kansas City and has the trust of many of the city's homeless.

Karok Tribe
Posted By Dennis On In California,Native American | No Comments
Karok Indians (Karok - karuk, 'upstream'; they have no name for themselves other than that for 'men' or 'people', arar, whence Arra-arra, Ara-ara, etc.). The name by which the Indians of the Quoratean family have, as a tribe, been generally called. They lived on Klamath River from Redcap Creek to Indian Creek, north west California. Below them on the river were the Yurok, above them the Shasta, to their east were other Shasta tribes, while on the west they were separated by a spur of the Siskiyou Mountains from the Yurok and the Athapascan Tolowa. Salmon River, a tributary of the Klamath, was not Karok territory except for about 5 miles from its mouth, – but was held mainly by Shastan tribes. While the Karok language is fundamentally different front the languages of the adjacent Hupa and Yurok, the Karok people closely resemble these two tribes in mode of life and culture, and any description given of the latter will apply to the Karok. They differ from the Yurok principally in two points: One, that owing to the absence of redwood they do not make canoes but buy them from the Yurok; the other, that they celebrate a series of annual ceremonies called "making the world," which are held at Panamenik, Katimin, and Inam, with a similar observance at Amaikiara, while the Yurok possess no strictly analogous performances. The Karok had no divisions other than villages, and while these extended along the entire extent of their territory, three important clusters are recognizable, in each of which there was one village at which certain ceremonies were held that were observed nowhere else. Panamenik, on the site of Orleans Bar, and several other settlements formed the first group; the second was about the mouth of Salmon river and comprised Amaikiara, Ashipak, Ishipishi, Katimin, Shanamkarak, and others; in the third and northernmost group the most important villages were Inam, at the mouth of Clear creek, and Asisufuunuk at Happy Camp.
In the first two groups a single dialect was spoken; in the last, the farthest upstream, a divergent dialect called Karakuka was employed.
Following is a list of the Karok villages:

Nalini Malani's work is influenced by her experiences as a refugee of the Partition of India. She places inherited iconographies and cherished cultural stereotypes under pressure. Her point of view is unwaveringly urban and internationalist, and unsparing in its condemnation of a cynical nationalism that exploits the beliefs of the masses. Hers is an art of excess, going beyond the boundaries of legitimized narrative, exceeding the conventional and initiating dialogue. Characteristics of her work have been the gradual movement towards new media, international collaboration and expanding dimensions of the pictorial surface into the surrounding space as ephemeral wall drawing, installation, shadow play, multi projection works and theatre. Some of her solo exhibitions are Cassandra, Galerie Lelong, Paris (2009), Listening to the Shades, Arario Gallery, New York (2008), and Nalini Malani, Walsh Gallery, Chicago (2007). Malani has also participated in numerous group exhibitions. Some of which are MATER, Universidad de Jaén, Spain (2009), National Galleries of Modern Art, New Delhi/Bangalore/Bombay (2009), and The National Museum of Modern Art Tokyo, Kyoto, Seoul (2009).
Malani's work is being discussed in Susan Bean's presentation Nalini Malani: At Home in the World.

2 in Vermont accused of collecting dead man's SS checksApril 23,2013The Associated Press
BURLINGTON — Two Vermont men have been charged in separate cases with illegally collecting thousands of dollars in Social Security benefits by covering up deaths.
Michael Rivard, 69, plans to plead guilty to fraud, according to the Burlington Free Press. He's accused of taking about $112,500 from 2005 to 2012.
Fifty-four-year-old Robert Driver pleaded guilty March 27 to stealing more than $151,000 from 1999 to 2012.
Driver had power of attorney for the bank account for Margaret Flint, who died in 1998. Benefits continued to be wired into her account.
Driver lives with Flint's grandson, Dalton Flint II. Records showed regular withdrawals from her account in the form of checks made out to and endorsed by Driver for about the same amount as the deposits.
Driver pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing.MORE IN This Just InTwo people were killed in a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 91, one of several accidents on...

A hearty cold weather soup. The flavor was excellent. We liked the addition of the rice (we used brown rice) for the additional body it gave the soup. We served it with a salad and fresh cornbread for a satisfying meal. The only addition we made was some thin slices of avocado for garnish.

Howard Schultz suit adds fuel to e-mail fire
Even if the Oklahoma-based owners managed to work an arena deal to keep the Sonics in Seattle, they were ready to do a "sweet flip" and...
Seattle Times staff reporter
in fight
Latest e-mail: Suit says new owner hinted that even if an arena deal were worked out, he might sell team and leave.
Schultz's letter to other ex-owners: "We left no stone unturned" in trying to find a local buyer.
The "side letter": New Oklahoma owner pledged "our good faith best efforts."
Even if the Oklahoma-based owners managed to work an arena deal to keep the Sonics in Seattle, they were ready to do a "sweet flip" and leave town, according to an owner's e-mail cited in a lawsuit filed Tuesday by previous owner Howard Schultz.
The Starbucks mogul said Sonics chairman Clay Bennett lied to him, "never intended to own a team that would continue playing in Seattle" and "fraudulently induced" the sale, according to a 12-page lawsuit asking that the sale be rescinded so Schultz could do what he said he intended to do all along: Sell to someone who would keep the team in Seattle.
The city of Seattle, which has a separate federal lawsuit against the Sonics, released several embarrassing e-mails weeks ago, but Schultz's suit disclosed a new potentially damaging e-mail written by Bennett two days before the sale in July 2006.
"Mr. Bennett confided to his co-owners that he was comfortable with the Purchase Agreement's good-faith provision because, in the event a Seattle arena deal could be negotiated, the Oklahoma City group could simply sell the team in a 'sweet flip,' and leave Seattle and the Oklahoma City group 'would still be in good shape for something in OKC,' " according to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle.
"They were willing to lie, and did lie to complete the deal," the lawsuit says.
Attorney Richard Yarmuth, of the Seattle-based law firm Yarmuth Wilsdon Calfo, filed the lawsuit on behalf of The Basketball Club of Seattle, the former ownership group headed by Schultz, seeking to void the $350 million sale.
Seattle Deputy Mayor Tim Ceis said Schultz's action could help the city's federal lawsuit, which seeks to bind the Sonics to the team's KeyArena lease through 2010. NBA owners last week approved Bennett's bid to move the team to Oklahoma City for the next season.
"We're glad Howard is following through and he's back on the team," Ceis said. "It strengthens our case to have him coming at it from this other angle."
Schultz's sales agreement includes a July 18, 2006, "side letter" in which Bennett writes: "It is not our intention to move or relocate the teams so long, of course, as we are able to negotiate an attractive successor venue [to KeyArena] and lease arrangement. Our commitment to you to use our good faith best efforts over the coming year to negotiate such a venue and lease arrangement in the Greater Seattle Area provides further concrete evidence of this intention."
Previous e-mails, already publicly disclosed, were included in the suit to show that the Oklahoma City buyers were intent on owning an NBA team in Oklahoma, not Seattle.
Joel Ngugi, a University of Washington law professor, said Schultz's legal challenge is a longshot to succeed, though it could inflict the greatest amount of damage on Bennett.
"If Bennett and Co. had bound themselves to use 'good faith' to keep Sonics in Seattle while they engaged in conduct that purposefully aimed at moving them to OKC, it seems that would come very close to within the definition of 'bad faith,' " Ngugi said.
"This is because it is considered bad faith to knowingly or willfully deviate from contractual specifications, and failing to act diligently and cooperatively to actualize the contractual purpose," he said.
In a letter sent Tuesday to his former Sonics ownership group and obtained by The Seattle Times, Schultz described at length how he thought Bennett had duped him. Schultz said he has no intention of retaining ownership of the team. Instead, he said he wants to reclaim the team so he can sell it to investors who will keep the team in Seattle.
"We seek to have the court unwind the sale by imposing a constructive trust on the team and giving [Basketball Club of Seattle] the right to try and resell the team to a buyer that, in fact, would keep the Sonics in Seattle," Schultz wrote. "We do not ask the court to return the team to BCOS or in any way obligate any BCOS member to participate in repurchasing the Sonics.
"If I had known that Clay Bennett and his group had no intention of keeping the team in Seattle, I would not have advocated selling to him," Schultz continued. "In light of the recent revelations, it is clear there was bad faith by the PBC group in our negotiation and I feel personally responsible for my part in accepting false representations."
In the letter, Schultz said that when he sought to sell the Sonics and Storm, he retained investment banker Goldman Sachs and tried to find a local buyer but to no avail. (Bennett's group has since resold the Storm to a local group.)
"A small number of prospective local buyers showed interest, but none stepped forward," he said.
Schultz said he refused to sell to a California buyer because the buyer clearly intended to move the team.
"We left no stone unturned in trying to identify and to interest a local buyer, including our willingness to accept a lower price from a local buyer if one emerged," Schultz said. "And we agreed to the sale to [Bennett's Professional Basketball Club] only after they made promises that they would keep the Sonics in Seattle."
He added that at the "11th hour" he instructed Goldman Sachs to go back one more time to a prospective local buyer but "that solicitation was not successful, in large part because of uncertainty regarding the ability to secure a new arena."

Selected FAQ |
What is sleep mode? |
Sleep mode conserves electricity by automatically turning off the lamp after the projector has not been used for 30 minutes (you can set the sleep mode from 1 to 30 minutes.) In sleep mode, the projector's power indicator is steady orange and only a minimum amount of the projector's circuitry remains on. This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. You can turn sleep mode on and off in the Settings menu. |

9. Wall-E
The Earth is inevitably polluted beyond habitability by humans, and we leave robots to attempt to reverse the damage. One such trash-collector robot becomes self-aware after dutifully cleaning up our mess for centuries on end, and sees beauty where humans only left garbage. Also, the only fully CG animation on our list.
The remaining humans who flee the earth all live on a titanic space-vessel, where generations of indolence and general laziness have resulted in everyone being morbidly obese and relying on robots for everything. And we mean everything. Does living with fat people who can't do anything on their own sound good to you? We didn't think so.
Likeliness: Fat people exist. Robots are getting smarter. The world is becoming covered in trash. If we manage to shore up space travel in the near future, Wall-E's planet earth might just be around the corner.
More after the break...
8. The Matrix
The Matrix follows Neo, a computer hacker who soon discovers that nothing in his world is real, and that he is nothing more than a bio-electric battery for "the machines", humankind's robot overlords. He is taught to do kung fu, because that's important, and because he is "the One".
The future doesn't get any bleaker than robots making humans into batteries. From birth, babies are implanted with bio-electrodes that connect to a grid. Their minds are kept stable by being kept connected to a digital environment they perceive as normal reality - known as the Matrix.
And did we mention the remaining free humans are constantly under threat from huge cyborg squids that patrol the earth?
Likeliness: Well, this is a tough one. We are still some ways away from truly self-aware artificial intelligence, unless it's just hiding in shadows of the Google servers, waiting for the right time to strike. But the issue here is, how would we know if we were part of the matrix? It could have already happened, and we would be none the wiser.
7. Cloud Atlas
A really complicated movie that jumped between different timelines in a mindboggling three hours, Cloud Atlas portrayed two future periods: the nearish future and the far future. The future which we are addressing in this article is the nearish one. In this future, we've perfected cloning to such a degree that it is become the obvious solution to all our major problems - labor and food shortage.
Clones are basically raised and treated as sub-human workers, eventually ending up as raw material for organic slop that they feed to other clones, and normal humans alike. Mmmm - yummy. Soup du jour of cloned human puree, anyone?
Likeliness: It doesn't take a genius to work out that growing people to eat is not worth the expense or the trouble, even if they grow up eating themselves. It is to be said that we have the technology to clone organisms now, although the moral implications of human replication will probably crush any dreams of a human clone factory. Overall, a highly improbable and repulsive solution to global food shortage.

How Do You Measure a Game's Worth?
influence of bad game parts (188 comments)
The sole amount of time spent playing a game doesn't consider the parts of the game that didn't entertain or were even frustrating. I guess you can't just substract these "wasted" hours either because a 20 hour game without any frustrating parts is likely to entertain you more than a 30 hour game that includes 10 hours of frustration. It depends a lot on how much your free time playing games is worth to you in the first place. It may even be worth so much that you enjoy a five minute Solitair game a lot more than going through five minutes of just learning the controls of any other game, as an extreme example. The location of the bad game parts is also important as five minutes of frustation every now and then are less likely to decrease your entertainment than a bad two hour part in one go, especially if that were your only two hours of playtime that weekend.

Exclusives, Why Do You Rip Me Off?Picture this. It's the release date of part 3 of your favorite movie saga and you rush to the nearest retail store to pick it up. As you approach the store clerk about getting your movie he or she hands you a blu-ray copy. You declined politely and ask for the DVD version as the last two of the movie series were on DVD. He or she tells you it's only exclusive to blu ray for the time being but you tell him or her you don't have a blu ray player and that DVD play is all you have. Now you are forced to buy not only a blu ray player but the movie on blu ray as well; which can most of the time be pricy.Now picture this. You're playing your favorite video game series on Ps2, Xbox, GameCube, Wii PS3 or Xbox360 and E3 comes along and the next installment of your favorite video game is announced and the release date is given. Suddenly you are so excited you ejaculate out your ears with anticipation and suddenly your whole world come crashing down when they announce is going to be exclusive on

Two Dead Boys (LOTS OF RHYMING)Ladies and Gentlemen, skinny and stout,I'll tell you a tale I know nothing about;The Admission is free, so pay at the door,Now pull up a chair and sit on the floor.One fine day in the middle of the night,Two dead boys got up to fight;Back to back they faced each other,Drew their swords and shot each other.A blind man came to watch fair play,A mute man came to shout "Horray!"A deaf policeman heard the noise andCame and killed those two dead boys.He lived on the corner in the middle of the block,In a two-story house on a vacant lot;A man with no legs came walking by,and kicked the lawman in his thigh.He crashed through a wall without making a sound,into a dry creek bed and suddenly drowned;The long black hearse came to cart him away,But he ran for his life and is still gone today.I watched from the corner of the big round table,The only eyewitness to facts of my fable;But if you doubt my lies are true,Just ask the blind man, he saw it too.- AnonymousI don't know
YOU.ARE.NOT.ALONE.So you want to kill yourself? Because no one cares about you. Your family hates you. Right?No.Your parents walking in your room in the morning to only find a dead body. They'll try their hardest to not think negative, and to just think that you're fooling around. Then they'll start shaking you. Why aren't you breathing? They'll be broken.Tears.Many tears. More tears than you ever shed. Was it them? Were they the reason you did this? More tears.Pain.Every day. Every night. Every single second of every day.Guilt.More guilt. What about your best friends? They're not going to care. Right? No. What's the first thing that will go through their mind when your principal comes in and tells the class that you're not alive. While your best friend sits there in tears. That girl that you'd smile at but never talk to? She's now crying. The boy who used to kick you under the table just to annoy you? He'll be shocked. He'll be devastated. He'll blame himself. What a

Do You Know That Your Partner Is A Reflection Of You
Now, without a doubt, this view is difficult for many of you to accept, because the alternative of seeing your own limits is so exposing and revealing. Very few people are willing to be that transparent. The more typical path is to make up some story about yourself and your partners, so you can feel impressed with yourself. After all, who doesn't like being right and looking good to the world about your selection of partners. It sounds good for our friends to hear that we could have had great relationship if it
weren't for the behavior of our date, wife, or companion. But you need to ask yourself, if you are so convinced that you are better than your partner, then why are you with them? Do you have nothing else to do? Are you just feeling charitable? Or why are they hanging out with you since you devalue them or don't love them? I have seen numerous couples in my practice repeat this same egotistical game year after year rather than acknowledge and being honest about their real intent; I am just using my mate to
glorify me.
Rather than accept the humbleness of seeing that you are no better than your partner and that they are merely a reflection of who you really are, we prefer to spend enormous amounts of time and energy proving that we are better or less than our partners. I call this verbal and emotional preoccupation THE DIFFERENCE GAME, in my book entitled, We'd Have a Great Relationship If It Weren't For You. In playing the difference game, there is no task, perspective, or activity that cannot be used to prove that we are better or less than our partners, such as, "I love you more, I am more sensitive and open, I am brighter, I have better judgment, or I am more successful".
Imagine if you dropped this ego attachment and no longer participated in this game within your relationship. You would then have time to listen, love, share, and be sexual to a much greater extent than you have known in your relationship. Of course, you would no longer be able to use your partner to inflate or deflate yourself, and you would be on very unfamiliar territory.
To see if you are ready for this, imagine saying
She loves me as much as I do her
He is just as open as I am.
He is just as vulnerable as I am
She is just as interested in me as I am in her.
If you can say comments like this without hedging in any way, then you are ready for an equal and mutual, intimate relationship with your partner. However, if you hedge or justify in any way, then there is still room for you to continue playing the difference game and maintaining a non-mutual attitude. Being accountable for your relationship and giving up being a victim and clinging to justifications, such as "I am with him because there is no one better", or "I am still here because of the children" all of which
takes courage to admit.
There are two major characteristics of a mutual relationship.

Vibe Pumps Your Vagina & Teases Your Clit!
Protected by Adam & Eve's Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy
One of the most effective thrusting toys we've ever seen, the Enchanted Thrusting Elle Vibrator is better between the sheets than your last boyfriend!
• Beads thrust up and down to mimic the feeling of sex
• Non-jamming beads also spin to massage your vagina
• Large elephant-shaped stimulator teases your clit with its nose
• Elephant's extra-large ears vibrate to tease your lips
• Try all 7 vibration modes and 3 speeds of thrusting
• Waterproof for wet and wild fun in the shower and easy cleaning
• Measures 1.5 inches wide and 5.25 inches long, insertable
• Made from soft and smooth TPE, a jelly-like material
• Vibrator uses 4 AA batteries, sold separately
The vibrator comes with a uniquely designed thrusting mechanism that pumps the spinning beads up and down inside the shaft to duplicate the feelings of sex. This leaves the shaft completely smooth, making it easier to clean and insert than other thrusting vibrators. And the thrusting motion allows the spinning beads to massage even more of your vagina – including your G-Spot – for even more stimulation!
The elephant-shaped clitoral stimulator is more effective than the typical rabbit design. Like your average rabbit ears, the trunk vibrates super-fast to tickle your clit, but the longer elephant trunk makes it easier to reach and maintain contact with your clit for prolonged pleasure. As an added bonus, the elephant has a pair of extra-large ears to tease your lips as well!
The sex toy features 7 different vibration modes, including multiple speeds and pulsating patterns, as well as 3 separate thrusting speeds for you to try out. The easy to use controller includes a function button which cycles through the 7 vibration modes. The two arrow buttons let you increase or decrease the thrusting speed, while a separate button lets you change whether the beads spin clockwise or counter-clockwise. LEDs light up to display the vibrator's current settings.
A special watertight seal lets you enjoy the thrusting vibrator almost anywhere – from the bathtub to the hot tub! The watertight O-ring also makes cleaning easier by protecting the batteries and motor from getting wet.
The vibrator measures 1.5 inches across and 10.25 inches long, with up to 5.25 inches insertable. The sex toy is made from jelly-like TPE, a material prized for its comfortable softness. The vibrator is powered by 4 AA batteries, sold separately. The base unscrews to hold a plastic battery cradle that makes changing and loading the batteries easier.
Adam & Eve recommends the Enchanted Thrusting Elle Vibrator for vaginal and clitoral stimulation.
The thrusting vibrator is compatible with Adam & Eve's water-based and silicone-based sex lubes. Wash the sex toy before and after each use in warm, soapy water and rinse it clean. Dry your vibrator with a lint-free towel before storing it with your other sex toys.
