Troubles swallowing food or liquids – what does it mean?
Oropharyngeal dysphagia is related to problems with the initiation of the swallows and clearing the food bolus from the mouth to the esophagus. This usually occurs within a second of swallowing and you may feel that you cannot initiate a swallow or food hangs up in the neck region. A test that is commonly used to evaluate this is a modified barium swallow or videofluoroscopic swallowing study. This study provides critical information on inability or excessive delay in initiation of swallowing, unintentional inhalation of food, unintentional expulsion of food from the nose or mouth, and/or abnormal retention of food in the back of the throat after swallowing. Most ...

How to treat PFS runner's knee
Patellofemoral pain constitutes a quarter of the injuries to the knee. Kneecap pain can be both debilitating and frustrating; prolonged pain can limit physical activity and cause those suffering from it to abandon their recreational and sporting activities.
Patellofemoral pain usually manifests as a gradual onset of pain around the edge or underneath the kneecap during physical activities. Common activities such as descending hills or stairs, squatting, running, or sitting for long periods of time can all aggravate the pain and cause soreness.
How your knee works
The knee joint is made up of three bones: the femur (thigh bone), the tibia (shin bone), and the patella (kneecap). The patellofemoral joint refers to the kneecap and the groove (trochlea) in the femur in which the patella sits. The four muscles of the quadriceps all attach to the patella. The patella is a sesamoid bone (the bone is embedded within the tendon) and it plays a crucial role in the function of the leg by lengthening the lever arm of the muscles and tendons of the quad to maximize power and function and by acting as a shield to protect the knee from direct trauma. The cartilage covering the kneecap within the knee joint acts as a shock absorber, protecting the underlying bone from stress. With running and jumping, the knee (and its overlying cartilage) can experience forces up to 8 times bodyweight. The cartilage itself does not have a nerve supply, but the bone underneath has an extensive nerve supply and these nerves become painful when the cartilage is not functioning properly to pad and protect the bone.
In patellofemoral syndrome, or PFS (also known as runner's knee), the cartilage undersurface of the patella become angry, inflamed, irritated, and the kneecap hurts.
How to treat PFS or runner's knee
Loosen things up. Use a foam roller to roll out the quad muscle and the illiotibial (IT) band. These tissues all hook into the kneecap and can contribute to pain when they are tight.
- Make things stronger. In the early recovery period (the first several weeks when you are just starting out on your recovery journey) ....
Gluten allergy: myth or fact?
Gluten is a hot topic these days, and is hitting the headlines again. Why? At the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology annual meeting, Dr. David Stukus (a pediatric allergist) set out to clarify frequent myths that he encounters in his practice. So, why is he saying that gluten allergies do not exist?
Gluten is a protein found in foods processed from wheat and related grain products. In celiac sprue (affecting up to 1% of adults), gluten intake leads to damage of the small intestine, impairing its ability to absorb nutrients. I like to imagine that a healthy small intestine is like a shag carpet, and small intestine affected by active celiac sprue is more like a tile floor. Celiac sprue is not a gluten allergy, but rather an autoimmune condition where the gluten is triggering an inflammatory response in the body.
Studies find that ...
What are the options when lung cancer is inoperable?
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month and for those who have been diagnosed with lung cancer, one dreaded word is inoperable. Many feel defeated when they hear they are not candidates for surgery, but promising non-surgical treatments are available. CyberKnife, a form of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), is one of these options.
Radiation treatment to a moving target adds a level of complexity. However, CyberKnife tracks a tumor and directs targeted radiation via a state of the art robotic arm. Most patients complete their treatment in 3 to 5 days.
Highly focused radiation has become the standard of care for treating medically inoperable early stage non-small cell lung cancer with excellent results.
This video demonstrates the robotic real-time tracking of the CyberKnife.
Testosterone is associated with worse disease severity in men with early relapsing onset multiple sclerosis
MS and many other autoimmune diseases are less common in men than in women. This is especially true during reproductive years. Sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen, may be responsible for the difference. It is thought that men with multiple sclerosis may have lower testosterone levels than healthy controls.
Dr. Bove and his group assessed the prevalence and clinical associations of hypogonadism in men with recent onset relapsing multiple sclerosis. Male subjects from the Comprehensive Longitudinal Investigations of MS at the Brigham and Women's Hospital (CLIMB) cohort were included. Hormonal measures included testosterone, the testosterone: estradiol ratio, leutinizing hormone (LH), and free testosterone. Clinical outcomes were collected every 6 months for Expanded Disease Severity Scale (EDSS), and annually for Symbol Digit Modalities test (SDMT).
The analysis included 96 men with a mean age of 40 years, disease duration of 4.6 years; 71% subjects were untreated at baseline. Of these men, 39% were ...
Life-saving technology and getting the word out about radiosurgery
Twice last week I received phone calls from grateful family members thanking us for taking care of their loved ones when treatment options were dwindling. One patient is now 4 years past his CyberKnife treatment for inoperable lung cancer and is going strong and living life to the fullest. The other patient was recently treated and is feeling great and planning a European vacation. Both families are extremely appreciative for the care they received but both voiced frustration that they stumbled upon this treatment option by chance and that we need to do a better job of publicizing the radiosurgery modalities. As the person receiving these calls, I am thrilled to hear how our center has positively impacted so many lives but struggle with how to get the word out to those who may benefit from radiosurgery in the future. So with our patients' stories fresh in my mind, here is an introduction to radiosurgery.
Stereotactic radiosurgery is targeted radiation therapy delivered to nearly any body part with precision while utilizing real time image guidance. The ....

There are certain key buzz words among evangelicals, particualrly emergey-types that literally make me want to perpetrate extreme violence on anyone I hear saying them. And sadly, every now and then I find some of them escaping my own lips. So, if you find me too harsh, just realize that much of what I am about to say is as much self-loathing as others-loathing.
So, here are quintessential evangelical phrases that if you say around me may very well result me suddenly unleashing all my wrath upon your kneecaps:
"I'm just looking for someone to 'do life' with me."
"I'm searching for something real, you know, something raw, authentic, you know?"
"What we really need is authentic community."
"We need to strive to be more intentionally missional."
"We're not Christians, we're Jesus-followers!"
"Jesus was Green!"
"Everything must change."
"We totally need to hear each other's stories…like I need to hear your story and you need to hear my story. We need to just hear, you know? Each other's stories."
"We're all about radical discipleship."
"Our home communities are where the church really happens."
What else is there? Come on folks, lets do life and be authentic together as we think of more annoying emergentisms!

The House of Representatives voted this afternoon to overwhelmingly approve another 90-day extension of the highway bill, enabling the divided Congress to move forward on negotiations on a long-term agreement.
The bipartisan vote passed easily by a count of 293-127, with 69 Democrats joining the Republican majority in support of the measure, known formally as H.R. 4348, the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2012. Just 14 Republicans opposed the bill.
The bill also included a provision authored by Nebraska Republican Lee Terry to strip approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline from the White House and compel the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to approve or disapprove the permit within 30 days.
The White House has threatened to veto the legislation, although the leadership crafted the bill without the intent of it ever reaching the president's desk. After the vote, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, dismissed the president's warning.
"The House is on record again in support of the Keystone XL energy pipeline – a project President Obama blocked, personally lobbied against, then tried to take credit for, and now says he'll veto," Boehner wrote in a statement following the bill's passage. "There's no telling where the president stands from one day to the next on Keystone, but he knows the pipeline has broad and bipartisan support in Congress and among the American people. He knows it will create tens of thousands of new American jobs. And he knows that if he continues to stand in the way, the Canadian government will bypass the United States and ship their energy – and the jobs that come with it – to countries like China."
It's unclear how that rider will ultimately fare during conference negotiations, but Republicans added the provision to ensure it'd be a topic of negotiation at conference.
"Keystone is a critical part of our 'all of the above' energy strategy," Boehner added. "The higher energy prices go, the more we all pay for everything from gasoline to groceries, and it's taking a real toll on families and small businesses. That's why I hope President Obama and Senate Democrats will get moving and join the American people and Republicans in supporting this common-sense bill."
Over the past month, Democrats have pressured Republicans to vote on the Senate's two-year, $109 billion bill, which was approved in a bipartisan vote in the upper chamber March 14 and did not include any language about the pipeline.
Instead, Republican sources say the House will use the latest 90-day extension as a legislative vehicle to move the negotiations to a bipartisan, bicameral conference.
Today's extension tacks on another 90 days to the end of the current authorization, which runs out June 30.

Can't Completely Remove A Screensaver
I have deleted a screensaver from Syswow64 and System32 but the screensaver still appears in Screen Saver Settings and can still be used in themes. The screensaver was created using Screensaver Factory 5 Standard.

Welcome to Seven Forums Tom Co. Does the program itself not give you the ability to uninstall the screensavers it creates? In the possibility that it is too late for that. I'd suggest you see if Revo Uninstaller will list the screensaver.
Revo Uninstaller You might actually think of recreating the screensaver if it is a feature of the program, rather than a one off creation, and see if it shows in Revo then. I'm afraid I know nothing about how the program works. A Guy |

I Found Part of the Problem
Thanks to all who responded. The name of the screensaver is Aquarium. It was listed with that name in Screen Saver Settings. I assigned the name Aquarium as the screensaver name to one of my themes. I opened that theme with Notepad and found that the screen saver being executed was c:\windows\system32.scr. When I double clicked c:\windows\system32.scr the Aquarium screensaver was launched. I then deleted c:\windows\system32.scr and Aquarium no longer appeared in the Screen Saver Settings list. I recreated the Aquarium screensaver with Screensaver Factory 5 Standard and everything is now as it should be. Now I have to determine why Aquarium was apparently created as c:\windows\system32.scr. That didn't happen with the recreation.

Tom, I had the same question. Maybe my solution will help someone else.
(By the way, perhaps it's not the same one to which you referred, but I remember an Aquarium screensaver from my Commodore Amiga days. It was a nice, graphically intense program, especially for that period. After Commodore went belly up, the author updated and released it for the XP platform.) Anyway, a Google search sent me to the following page, windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Delete-a-screen-saver, but their suggestion was to go to the Control Panel/Programs and Features List; however, it did not include my new screensaver. From my experience with XP, I remembered that screensavers were stored in the C:\Windows folder\, so I checked there. Lo, and behold, I found a few screensavers, although their filenames were not the same as in the Screen Saver Settings list. I right-clicked on one of them. The highlighted menu item was "Test" so I clicked it and a screensaver preview appeared. The next one I clicked brought the one I wanted to get rid of so I moved it out of the C:\Windows\ folder. Voilà! It disappeared from the Screen Saver Settings list! |

Salvage work - divers salvage musical instruments from wreck - Scapa Flow.
M/S of small boat tied onto large semi sunken vessel in Scapa Flow, Orkneys. M/S of men climbing the funnels of the ship. Great M/S of diver emerging from the water carrying a tuba. He has also salvaged what looks like fencing swords. His colleagues on the boat turn the tuba upside down to tip out the water. One of the men laughs and smiles at the camera. High angle of two divers looking at their booty. They examine one of the fencing foils and the tuba. One of the divers attempts to play the tuba! Good shots of this. He stops playing and smiles broadly at the camera.

A recent mention on Lou's show renewed my interest in the DiveQuest tour at what was once The Living Seas. This is something I have wanted to do for quite a while now but, as with all things, real-life takes over and wanna-dos and dreams fall on the backburner. I'm trying to make it a reality now.
I have yet to hear a bad word about DiveQuest, and I have read countless reviews across the internet, but what I am interested in is this: have any of you lovely people on WDW Radio participated in it recently?
After all, I trust your opinions more than anyone else :thumbs: [/S uck-up]
Just curious.

Spike (Marvel Comics)
Spike | |
Publication information | |
Publisher | Marvel Comics |
First appearance | X-Force #121 (Dec. 2001) |
Created by | Peter Milligan, Mike Allred |
In-story information | |
Alter ego | Darian Elliott |
Species | Human Mutant |
Team affiliations | X-Force X-Statix |
Notable aliases | The Spike |
Abilities | Ability to generate bone spike projectiles |
Spike and The Spike are the names of several fictional characters in Marvel Comics. Recent characters of this name have had similar powers to generate projectile spikes, possibly inspired by Spyke from X-Men: Evolution.
The Spike is a character in the X-Statix series from Marvel Comics. He first appeared in X-Force #121, and was created by Peter Milligan and Mike Allred. He is a mutant with superhuman powers. He should not be confused with Spike Freeman, another character in X-Statix/X-Force.
Spike is also the name of a similar character from New X-Men, and also appeared in the film X-Men: The Last Stand, albeit as a villain with no apparent connection to the more commonly known character, aside from name and powers.
The Spike (X-Statix)[edit]
After watching video footage of the Spike in action, the senior members of X-Statix, except the Anarchist, vote to have him join the team. At the press conference to announce his membership, the Spike calls the Anarchist racial names and the two began butting heads. Eager to gain more media attention, Vivisector and Phat jump into a fight with the Spike in "defense" of their teammate. Later, Anarchist expresses fears that his life is endangered with the addition of another young black male to the team.[volume & issue needed]
When U-Go Girl hosts the Larry King Show, she has the Spike show up as her first guest. This swiftly erupts once again into a battle between the Anarchist, Vivisector, Phat, and the Spike. In the middle of the battle, Lacuna travels between seconds and removes everyone's clothing. After announcing her candidacy in X-Statix, she returns their clothing and left.[volume & issue needed]
During some downtime with the team, the Spike, along with some other members of X-Statix, were transported to a dimension residing inside Doop, where they each face their worst fears. In Spike's "torture realm," the only thing Doop finds is a book entitled "Spikey Cross-Dressing," bearing the image of the Spike wearing a red dress and fishnets. After saving them and returning them to their Santa Monica HQ, Doop notices that only a second had gone by and no one appears to have any memory of ever leaving.[volume & issue needed]
The Spike returns home from a mission with the rest of X-Statix, but they wind up in the ocean, due to U-Go Girl's malfunctioning mutant power. She attempts to teleport them from the ocean, only to wind up in a forest. In the forest, the team signals a plane and they hitch a ride to California via Federal Express.[volume & issue needed]
He was among the X-Statix members seen at a parade in their honor, after they successfully took out a Japanese terrorist sect. The mutant terrorist group the Brotherhood attacks X-Statix, calling them "mutant sellouts," due to their popularity and media attention. During the fight, the Spike aids the Orphan in killing one of the Brotherhood members by impaling her as she fell backwards from the Orphan's punch. After defeating the Brotherhood, the Orphan asks what just happened and U-Go Girl replies, "The end of a revolution?"[volume & issue needed]
The Spike participates in a battle in Central America alongside his teammates in X-Statix, where his rivalry with the Anarchist came to blows, as they competed to kill as many militiamen as possible, as if trying to beat each other in the "amount killed" department.[volume & issue needed]
Double Crosses In Space[edit]
The Spike returns to Santa Monica with the rest of the team, where they were bombarded with questions by the media. After U-Go Girl, the Orphan, and the Anarchist returned from their failed attempt to contact Dead Girl, the team's manager Spike Freeman instructs X-Statix on its upcoming mission to help the C.I.A. get a better image. The team was to head into space to stop the "Bush Rangers" who has seemingly taken control of the Mars 2010 Space Station. They would then forfeit and get saved by the C.I.A., thereby making the C.I.A. look good. In reality, the Bush Rangers were death row convicts, mostly black, altered to gain mutant powers.[volume & issue needed]
The C.I.A. wants this specific mission done because the Orphan had hidden Paco Perez, a mutant with the power to make multinational drug corporations even richer. However, the companies owe the C.I.A. so it balances out.[volume & issue needed]
The Spike personally expresses anger about the situation. As U-Go Girl and the Orphan argue with C.I.A. Agent Wright, the Spike seems very disturbed at seeing Vivisector and Phat high-five each other. The team voted on whether or not to go on the mission, with the Spike sided with the Orphan, creating a stalemate. Dead Girl then arrives and put her vote with the Orphan and the team heads into space.[volume & issue needed]
While traveling to the station, the Spike sees Vivisector and Phat holding hands. He slashes Myles and demands to know the situation. His homophobia becomes part of a multi-team member argument. On board, the crew members are happy to see the team and want autographs. Or so it seems. The Bush Rangers had killed and replaced the crew and they ambush X-Force moments later.[volume & issue needed]
During the fight, the Spike is seemingly convinced to join the Bush Rangers. The other X-Force members manage to back off and wait for the appropriate time to 'surrender'. As the team relaxes and waits for the C.I.A. Crack Squad led by Agent Wright to arrive, the Spike argues with the Bush Rangers who had seemingly won him over to their side. One of them whispers to the Spike what he had done to put him on death row. This noticeably disturbs the Spike. When the Orphan arrives looking for the Spike, all he found were the remaining Bush Rangers, all disguised to look like the Spike. As a battle broke out, the "real" Spike arrives and rejoins his teammates in X-Statix, stating his "defection" had been a ruse.[volume & issue needed]
When the Crack Squad finally boards the space station, they attempt to kill the senior members of X-Force. Agent Wright had altered the plan as a way of revenge; his daughter might have been saved by Paco Perez, the mutant child the Orphan had hidden away.[volume & issue needed]
To escape weapons fire, the senior members teleport into one of the station's spacescraft. It goes out of control, heading into deep space. Thinking their teammates dead, the remaining X-Statix members (Vivisector, Phat, 'the Spike', and Dead Girl) battle and kill the C.I.A Crack Squad. Agent Wright reaches into his jacket and is killed by the impostor Spike. All he wanted to show the team was a picture of his daughter.[volume & issue needed]
The real Spike, dressed in Bush Ranger clothing, is seen, battered and bruised, claiming he was no traitor. The Orphan and U-Go Girl make it back to the others using the spacecraft's lifepod, then use their powers to rescue the Anarchist.[volume & issue needed]
The real Spike meets up with the rest. The impostor attacks, driving several projectiles deep into his double's body. X-Force attacks but the Bush Ranger takes several punishing blows and fires spikes all across the room. He is soon killed in a combined result. The Spike is seen dead, sprawled on the floor. U-Go Girl has taken another projectile to her stomach and soon dies of her injuries.[volume & issue needed]
Spike's death is dismissed on the news; according to the reporter, he simply wasn't famous enough for America to care.[volume & issue needed]
Powers and abilities[edit]
He could generate razor-sharp spikes from his body, which he could fire outward with deadly accuracy.
Other comic characters named Spike[edit]
- Spike Freeman is also associated with X-Statix.
- A member of The People[1] was known as Spike. The youth had six arms but apparently perished in the destruction of her mansion. She first appeared (and perished in) Sub-Mariner vol. 1 #42
- Spike is also the name of a Deviant mutant, who along with Coal and String, was sent by Ghaur to retrieve the Proteus Horn which could summon undersea monsters. He was mistaken for Sunspot by Namorita. He first appeared in New Mutants Annual #5
- A member of Hellbent was also called Spike. He could fire spikes that caused delusions. He first appeared in Moon Knight vol. 3 #58.
- An agent of Rainman is known as Spike as well. He was forced to give information about the Rainman by the White Tiger and first appeared in Crew #2.
- There was also a similar character named Spike who was a student at the Xavier Institute, introduced in New X-Men # 126. This Spike was also a friend to Kid Omega, a mutant who went insane.
- A student of the Xavier Institute named Spike appeared in X-Men vol. 2 #134.
- Another student from Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Spyke, starred in the early 2000s animated series X-Men Evolution. He is the nephew of Storm.
In other media[edit]
In the movie X-Men: The Last Stand, a "Spike" character portrayed by Lance Gibson appeared in a battle with Wolverine, where he was depicted with the ability to extrude bony spikes from his flesh and hurl them with great speed and force. The battle culminates in a mutual stabbing, which only Wolverine recovers from due to his healing factor; Spike is presumed dead but not shown again.

The Bug & Dorian Concept Join Sonar Festival 2015
España, it's on. The Bug and Dorian Concept have been confirmed for Sonar in the second wave of artists confirmed for this year's Barcelona-based festival. Tickets are on sale now.
Read More
The long awaited follow up to the sonic dystopia that was London Zoo, Angels & Devils is both a year zero re-set and a continuation of what has been. A sonic assault blasted to the netherworlds above and below. Like the Bowie/Eno classic Low, or Can's Tago Mago...... an album that is split into two distinct themes and explorations of light & dark, yet also one tied together in its pursuit of a singular path/vision.
Truly only The Bug could find the common ground between the enlisted collaborators; Death Grips, Liz Harris (of Grouper), Gonjasufi, copeland (Hype Williams), Flowdan, Miss Red, Justin Broadrick (Godflesh/Jesu), Manga (Roll Deep), and Warrior Queen.
Utopian/dystopian, black/white, complexity/singularity, negative/positive... Angels/Devils.
The album will be released on 25 August 2014 via Ninja Tune - order your copy on 2LP, CD & digitally from the Ninjashop and iTunes. Find out more on atwarwithtime.com

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Leave it to Uncle Sam to spoil the party.
When Oprah Winfrey gave away 276 cars last week to the audience of her show, images of people laughing, jumping, crying -- some hysterically -- filled the airwaves and the give-away became stuff of legend. Late night talk show hosts and newspaper columnists are still talking about it.
But now some of those eager prize-winners have a choice: Fork over $7,000 or give up the car.
According to a spokeswomen for Harpo Productions Inc., Oprah's company, the recipients must pay a tax on the winnings, just like any prize.
For a brand new Pontiac G-Six, the model given away on the show, the sticker price is $28,500. The $28,500 would need to be claimed as income so, depending on the individuals tax bracket, the tax could be as high as $7,000. And that was after Pontiac agreed to pay most of the local charges, including state sales tax and licensing fees.
The Harpo Spokeswomen said winners had three choices. They could keep the car and pay the tax, sell the car and pay the tax with the profits or forfeit the car.

How I Learned 1 Easy Trick to Get a
Take BlastXL for rock-hard boners that last forever... and make your GFs' eyes pop and pussies twitch. That flood of blood seemed to stretch my dick too, so it's now bigger all the time. And you've gotta experience these new super-intense high-volume orgasms. Out of this world! Porn stars must be ready to rock as soon as they're on set, and they've gotta keep going as long as it takes. How do you think the honeys will react when you start fucking like a pornstar, and having 3-4 explosive fire-hose orgasms every night? |
Take Vimax — a safe natural supplement that male pornstars have been using for years — to grow a monster cock. Since I've been using Vimax, I've discovered that a big dick is even more important to chicks than big tits are to guys. And they can't help it. It's genetic. They're prewired to chase and fuck the alpha male — the guy with the monster cock. So, if you're the lucky alpha male, checks will fight for you... and cum longer and harder and more often than you thought possible. It's genetic. Trust me, when you get a dick like that, every guy wants to be you... and every chick wants to fuck you. And don't worry about being good in bed. With a monster cock, you'll be great. So, get plenty of rest now. You're gonna need it. But please, please stop taking Vimax when you get to 9". If you get bigger than 9", you'll hurt the honeys. And you don't wanna do that, right? |
(Did I mention that both companies are giving away these products for virtually nothing? I'm not kidding! If you visit the promo pages for BlastXL and Vimax, you can get a sample of each for just the cost of shipping!)
*Update: Since making this blog post, shipping costs have dropped even lower. Now they're literally giving away BlastXL and Vimax for free! Visit their sites now or see the end of this post for more details...
Just take your capsules, as instructed on the bottle, and you'll GET A LONG THICK HARD DICK in a few weeks. If you're man enough, don't forget to take before and after pics to share with us at the end of your 4 weeks.
Update: Before ordering my free samples of BlastXL and Vimax, I did plenty of research on the products. I found some coupons that make it even easier to get started with them. You just have to pay shipping. Otherwise, you're getting them completely free. And there's even a cool way to get free shipping.
COUPONS EXPIRE , and free samples are limited, so if you want a BIG HARD DICK for FREE, you might wanna hurry!
Share your success stories, and post your pics. Don't be shy. Comments are now live! | |
by Michael 12:53PM EST |
Mike! Here are my pics. That stuff ROCKS! My GF can hardly walk, but she always has a smile on her face. You the man! | |
49ersAlltheWay 4:14PM EST |
Love your story and pics. Just ordered a free trial bottle of each. I'll send my results ASAP... if I'm not too busy fucking my GF's brains out. lol | |
Anonymous 9:14AM EST |
ive been taking this stuff for a coupla weeks and ive already grown 2" in
length. This shit is amazing! Never seen my girlfriend
so happy. And she can't get enough. We used to have sex a couple of times a week. Now it's EVERY NIGHT. And she usually comes back for seconds. | |
Arthus 10:20AM EST |
Thank you, thank you, thank you! For years, I tried to convince myself that 6 inches was
OK. But I had no idea what I was missing out on! Since I started taking that stuff I've grown from 6" to 8", and I'm still growing! Carrying around a HUGE DICK gives me all the
confidence I need to meet, text, and fuck any woman I want. Mike, you're a GOD! | |
Matty87 11:30AM EST |
I'm a bit shy, so I don't normally post on blogs. And I wouldn't normally post pics of my dick online. But that was the old tiny-dick me. Now I've got a monster, so I'm gonna show the world. I'll post before and after pics real soon. | |
Richmanpoorman 2:19PM EST |
A guy at the gym told me about this blog, and I just ordered the stuff. How long's it take to arrive? And will I see BIG changes in a couple of weeks? It's my wife's birthday soon, and I want to give her a HUGE surprise! | |
Anonymous 5:01PM EST |
I found your link on another forum. Great article. Thanks for sharing. I'm 1 week in and already see impressive results. I can't wait to see how big I am in 4 weeks. | |
Anonymous 11:41PM EST |
I was pretty skeptical at first. But the trials are free, so what the fuck. I
gave it a shot. And... dude! 3 inches in 2 weeks. Man I'm happy I followed your advice. Totally changed my life! | |
Dick 8:31AM EST |
I've been with my boyfriend for about a year. Nice guy. And he's big
(just under 9" and real thick). My last two boyfriends were about 8"
and 9 1/2" (I know, I know, all my gfs hate me. lol). Anyway, I got in a big fight with my
boyfriend, and went out for a drink... and a guy at the bar picked me up... and took me back to his place.
He's about 7" probably average thickness. He got me off (eventually), but it felt weird. With my boyfriend, I love how he
stretches me and pushes in and out of me real deep and slow. After my boyfriend, the bar guy felt
like a pinky finger in me lol.
So, to other girls here who have hung boyfriends or have sex with large guys alot, do you feel like your "wrecked" or all stretched out down there? | |
by Jen
I've tried other stuff like ExtenZe before, and it didnt work for me. Does this stuff really work? | |
Anonymous 1:11PM EST |
Hey man. I don't know shit about Extenze, because I've never tried it. But this stuff works for me. And check out the pctures other guys posted. Don't let other dud products stop you from getting the big dick and confidence you deserve. And both these products are free to try (just pay a few bucks S&H) so you've got nothing to lose. And a LOT to gain. | |
by Michael 2:24PM EST |
used to worry about taking a shower at the gym. But not any more! I can beat any guy there. Even those huge bodybuilders. At least in the shower. | |
Stephan 4:57PM EST |
I started working out when I got the stuff in the mail. And man, I've changed a LOT... FAST! For the first time in my life I've got muscle and a HUGE dick. Word's out around my apartment building. And lots of horny hotties have been to visit. And they keep cumming back. Life is goooooooddddddddddddd! |
Nickoli 5:50PM EST |
Just ordered it!!!! Man I cant wait. Think I'll go check the mailbox again. | |
by Sean
OMG! Look how I've changed in 4 weeks. Ripped and hung and confident I can get whatever I fucking want. When I look at these pics, I'm speechless. So's the super model from across the hall. Of course she has my monster cock in her mouth... so who could blame her. | |

Greece deserves thanks for the just-concluded Olympics and perhaps an apology from its many critics.The early line was that if the terrorists didn't get you in Athens, the traffic would. But none of the dire predictions materialized.
When the finals bills come in, Greece will have spent $9 billion to $10 billion hosting the games. More than 10 percent of that was for security, prompting some Greeks to argue that the United States should pay for the security since most of it went, by their reckoning, to protect Americans.
Greek officials took a more dispassionate view, saying that preparing for the games had galvanized the country into long-overdue and permanent improvements in roads, public transit, the airport, housing and amenities like pools and stadiums.
At one time it looked like those improvements were never going to get built. Greece won the games in 1997, but took such a relaxed and dilatory approach to preparing for them that by 2000 the International Olympic Committee was only a few months away from giving the games to South Korea.
But the Greeks surprised the world, and maybe themselves, with a crash program of construction that completed the sites on time, although workers were still planting, painting and paving even as the Olympic torch arrived in the stadium.
The preparation had a more somber benefit. For years, the U.S. State Department had accused the Greeks of slow-walking an investigation into November 17, a Marxist terrorist group responsible for decades of murders of American and British diplomats and attacks on the Greek offices of Western companies. But Greek police rounded up the gang in 2002.
In the end, the return of the games to a birthplace both ancient and modern after lapses of 1,611 and 108 years respectively was a success — for the athletes, the spectators and especially the Greeks who partied into the dawn after the closing ceremonies. They earned it.

This is a yummy mix of grains I discovered on my quest to get away from processed foods. These grains all have different cooking times, but soaking them overnight fixes that problem. They will all steam up in about 20 minutes, the same as white rice. They cook at a 1part grains to 2 parts liquid ratio. I get all these whole grains from the bulk food section of the heath food store and mix them up in a big container for storage, then cook up portions as needed.

What is the best way for putting lettering on cakes. I tried the fmm script tappit cutters.
It took me ages trying to get one letter from them and my icing skills are useless. I keep seeing cakes with beautiful lettering on them and wonder what they are using.
I want to make cakes to sell but I am sure customers would expect some personalised wording on their cakes. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rosie!
Facts about Rosie
- Breed: Bullmastiff
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Rosie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Rosie is a a very sweet Mastiff girl who is somewhere between 2 - 4 years old. Rosie is mellow, easy going, adores children, and would love nothing more than to spend all of her waking hours with them. Rosie has been around dogs from 10 - 190lbs and seems to get along with everyone, and she's even very tolerant of puppies. Rosie has started coming out of her shell, and is even learning how to play! Rosie is as a loving, very sweet, mild-mannered dog who is blossoming more and more each day. Rosie underwent heartworm treatment at the end of March and is gaining both weight and confidence every day. She will be super with everyone as she regains her trust! She can still be very shy around new people, and she needs a family that will be understanding of her needs, and will allow her time to settle in. Is this sweet little girl the right dog for you?

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rosie, a Broomfield Bullmastiff dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Bullmastiff for sale in Broomfield, or seeking a Bullmastiff dog from a breeder in Broomfield.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Broomfield already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Broomfield breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Bullmastiff breeders who help with Bullmastiff rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Broomfield paves the way for another one to be saved.

Rare earth elementsa set of 17 related metals, mostly shunted off to a tacked-on lower line of the periodic tableare crucial to the way we live now; responsible for miniaturizing computers and headphones, powering hybrid cars and more. The time has come to get better acquainted with the molecules that make our modern world run. By Maggie Koerth-Baker Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 4 of 4 Neodymium: Little Giant Once upon a time, there was no such thing as a convenient way to carry your favorite tunes along on a jog. Rare earth elements changed all that. The key is magnets. Those things are everywhere, from hard drives to headphones to anything that incorporates a small electric motorbasically, if there's a component that needs to spin, magnets are probably involved. Producing a strong magnetic field used to require a big, heavy magnet and, thus, led to big, heavy pieces of technology. Then, in the late '70s, Sony introduced the Walkman, a (relatively) small, (relatively) portable music player. Why were they able to shrink the form factor? Magnets. Specifically, magnets made from the rare earth element samarium, which were smaller and stronger than anything then available. Today, the samarium-based magnets have largely been replaced by magnets made with neodymium, which are even smaller and even stronger. We have these magnets to thank for the miniaturization of gadgetry. But they're also responsible for making necessarily chunky tech lighter and cheaperlike the turbines that turn wind into electricity, and the drills that search for oil deep below the surface of the Earth.

This is the best fuse holder i have ever owned. The rubber grommets come out and the little rings inside do to for easy use of power wire from 4 to 0 gauge power wire. It's well worth the 30 dollars when u take the top off its not loose like normal holders it stays on nice and tight so u really gotta squeeze the middle for the tabs to pop off. Best holder ever if u get it u will love it! I have been using mine for 6 months now

Could be that I am completely out of touch, since I am not a native English speaker nor American.. But when did the word Bonkers become a thing in America? I have seen/heard it at least 3 times this week. Do you use it? Has it been used forever? and I just happen to be slow. I know its from Britan or something. Do you like the word? Discuss the word. k thanks.
It's not exactly super common, but it's one of many synonyms for "crazy", and I've heard plenty of people in the U.S. and Canada use it. It's not as distinctly British as something like "lovely" (which no one in North America uses unless they're an 80-year-old lady).
That takes me back to a time when I started to grow out of my cartoon phase so naturally I hated Bonkers.
The word itself has been around for ages, but rarely used in conversation anymore. You just ran into some weird people or something.
I've heard "bonkers" all my life. Not frequently or anything though. It's not new in the U.S. that is for sure. It sounds like you just got...ahhh, let's call it lucky and happened to hear it a bunch in a short period of time.

@ninessc2: It has been slang for "crazy" or "silly" for almost a century, based on the perceived sound("bonk") it makes when one hits their head. After someone hits their head, they may act irrationally. Thus, "bonkers".
You don't hear it as much anymore, but it's still used off and on. I'm not surprised you might have heard it multiple times in a week.
I like it, but then, I like a lot of older terminology.
I've definitely heard it in older movies/tv shows so I would guess its been used for a long time.
I'll give you my feeling towards the word bonkers as a native English-brained person: The image I have when hearing 'bonkers' is small balls/objects flying all over the place. Chaos in a small, contained area. Here are some usage cases that come to mind:
When you tell someone that they are bonkers, you're saying they're crazy, as in something in their head is loose (small things flying around in a small, contained space?). I mostly associate this with them first doing some bizarre physical maneuver before being labelled as 'bonkers'.
How was the party? Oh, it was bonkers. If I hear this I imagine there were a lot of people and some crazy things happened. Again, a contained space, lots of movement. I might use this if I was at a party and some drunken buffoon tries to do some break dancing on top of a table but fails miserably, breaking their ankle as they slip off the beer-soaked table. Then the police show up and everyone scatters, leaving the broken-ankle'd-break-dancer to wallow in agony, beer, and regret. 'Bonkers' especially suits the image of everyone scattering as soon as they hear the sirens.
You could also use bonkers to describe a game. If someone tells me a game is bonkers I imagine something like... Garry's Mod. There are no rules, anything can happen. Normal online multiplayer games where the admin has lowered the gravity and given everyone rocket launchers may be referred to as bonkers.
I'm sure others have their own interpretations of this word, but these are mine!

How many times have you wanted to see bratty Justin Bieber get his a$$ handed to him? Well, Conan O'Brien made that happen tonight on his TBS show. So sit back and watch your new favorite video over and over and over again!!!
For some reason Justin Bieber was once again invited to Fashion Rocks because, I guess, wearing your pants below your balls in fashionable. And on that note, he is the new crotch of Calvin Klein. Tonight as he was introducing Rita Ora, he stripped down to his Calvins because he said he felt more comfortable in them. I know, he is 20, but he looks like he is 12, so that made me so uncomfortable to watch this. Even the much taller female model was like why is this little boy taking off his clothes. He is just like a baby who strips down to their diapers because they don't know any better. So ewwwwww.

By law most Government Auctions and Sales must be advertised to the general public to give any interested parties the opportunity to participate. But many times the minimum posting requirements are woefully inadequate. There are probably dozens, if not hundreds of auctions within driving distance each month which most people have no idea are even taking place.
It could be well worth your time to learn the tricks to locating upcoming auctions and sales in your area. Government surplus, law enforcement seized property and bank foreclosed and repossessed property of all types can provide some of the best bargains you will ever see.
In addition to getting in the habit of looking within your local newspapers for Auction notices, check with the local courthouse as many times this is the first place an Auction may be posted. Just a little bit of effort on your part could result in a huge return. Don't automatically discount the idea of a government Auction simply because they have been around a long time. There are still some amazing deals to be had.
Once you have located an auction which may have something you could be interested in, don't forget to follow these basic tips to help you get the most value out of the experience as well as to avoid making some of the more common mistake "newbies" make.
- READ the rules and terms of the auction beforehand! Many people think there is one set of rules and procedusres which apply to all auctions. This isn't true. Everyone can be different in very major big ways. What forms of payment are accepted by the high bidder, how soon does the merchandise have to be removed from the premises and if it can't be removed immediately will there be extra storage fees. and a hundred other details which could cause more headache and stress than you bargained for. So take some time and READ the Terms & Conditions of EACH auction you plan to participate in.
- Determine beforehand what your absolute highest budget is and under no circumstances go over it. Auctions are designed to get bidders involved on an emotional basis. Combine this with the fact that many men are competitive by nature and you can understand how bidders can get carried away and keep bidding long after they have surpassed what they thought they would pay. Keep a cool head and always keep the numbers in mind and don't go over. There will always be another to bid on another day.
- Could be included in tip #1 when reading the terms and conditions, but make sure you know all of the fees in addition to the actual winning bid. For example there may be sales tax or other taxes or even auction surcharges, such as for storage or if their help is needed to load or transport your merchandise.
- Make sure you have an inventory list of items well ahead of auction day so that you can do your appropriate due diligence and research the accurate value of any merchandise you are considering. This may be in the form of a catalogue or may be posted online so you can print out. For repossessed car auctions you may be interested in use online sites such as National Auto Dealer's Association (NADA ), Edmunds, or Kelleys Blue Book, among others, to get an idea of true market value.
- Some auctions provide a chance for participants to inspect the merchandise on-site before the actual date of the sale. If this is possible, I HIGHLY recommend doing it. If you can't, then arrive very early to the Sale to give plenty of time to look at everything closely that you are considering bidding on. Most Sales do not offer a chance to return anything if it turns out to be defective. Obviously confirm this important policy in the Terms & Conditions, but the general rule is "buyer beware". So take heed and always allow more time than you think you need so you can inspect everything as best you can.
- Plan on how you will transport any items you successfully have the winning bid on. You'd be surprised at how many people don't even consider how they are going to get there truck or boat or whatever home after they buy it. And in the case of repossessed cars, what about insurance? Have you covered that? I personally won't so much as drive around the block without insurance. Let alone in many states it is illegal to do so.
- And lastly, but can be a huge help, go to several auctions simply to observe. Watch how people bid and watch how the good auctioneers are expert at creating excitement and how they drive the price up without the participants even realizing. By observing without feeling any nervousness or pressure from actually participating and bidding, you will learn a lot which will help you immensely when you actually do go to buy. You will feel much more confident and will be more likely to avoid making mistakes first-time auction participants make.
I hope can you use these tips to your advantage and I hope you take advantage of the increasing opportunities that are out there in Government and law enforcement Auctions and Sales.
