I was silly, happy and outgoing little girl. My mother taught me good values and I knew my dad loved me in his own way. I also had two older brothers.
When I was in the 4th grade, my parents divorced and my whole world crashed. My brother who was 2 years older than me began to abuse me physically and mentally. I remember thinking that the abuse from my brother was normal. I just accepted it. If a friend came over, he would scream at me and get violent. Eventually, none of my friends wanted to come over anymore. He was finally sent to live with my Dad when I was around 16. My mother fell apart because of it and became an alcoholic. I had to go live with a family friend in order to help my mom deal with the trauma of everything going on around her.
Through all this drama, I was still a "good girl" during my teens. I kept all the rules at home and school. I never broke curfew and stayed a virgin until I was 18. I didn't kiss a boy until I was 16 years old and he eventually broke my heart. He knew I wouldn't go past the kissing stage with him so he decided to have sex with my best friend instead. I didn't date again until I was 18. I was too brokenhearted. (That's probably why I still feel like if I don't have sex with a guy, he's not going to want to be with me. I've tried making them wait. They don't stick around more than a month so I feel like I always have to sex in order to keep a guy. )
I began to act rebellious and started hanging out with the "Goths". I became a popular metal head/goth girl. I even started doing phone sex a month before I graduated high school right when I turned 18. It was my first job. That was the beginning of my sex work lifestyle.
I went into stripping at 20 years old when I was lured in by a female hairdresser who probably got kickbacks for finding girls. I was dancing at a club and the club photographer came in and asked to shoot naked photos of me for magazines. Then it went to shooting me with another girl in magazines and then it was me and guys in magazines and then it turned into solo videos, girl/girl videos and boy/girl videos and a few shoots with me and multiple performers. It was a progression that finally led me into the porn industry.
I worked in porn for 10 years with breaks in between. My work name was Neesa and I did about 27 movies. My last shoot was November 2006. It was a very abusive, frightening and unsanitary experience for me. They reuse dirty sex toys all the time on porn sets. Most of the time, the companies don't want to purchase a new sex toy. Which start at $10. That's how cheap they are. I always saw girls that had sore vaginas. We would want to take a bigger break to try to regain our composure after enduring painful scenes, but the directors, camera men, etc., would stress that they "needed to get of there as soon as possible". And the company wouldn't want them to have to pay their employees extra time. So, most the time, there wasn't time for a shower to take after shoots. Not to mention doing shoots on couches that they used for other shoots. I doubt they paid to clean it after each time it got used.
In the worst scene and moment of my life, I was raped and verbally and mentally abused while making a video with Max Hardcore. It was the most horrible and degrading experience I ever had. I was in complete shock and horror. After that scene was shot, I got tested at AIM (Adult Industry Medical Clinic). I was horrified to find out that I was positive with Chlamydia/Gonorrhea in the throat. We didn't have vaginal or anal sex because my HIV test wasn't ready yet. So he insisted on an oral scene and right after that scene I tested positive for the two STD's. I called Dr. Sharon Mitchell to let her know. She asked Max to come in and test. I'm sure she told him which girl, and what the diseases were, even before he came in. Of course he would take Zithromax before he got retested as Sharon wouldn't want to lose one of her biggest clients. They care about money. That's it. Sharon Mitchell called me after he tested and called me a liar. "He didn't give it to you. His test came back negative". She said in a rude, ambivalent manner. This is the clinic that claims to keep us safe. It's a joke.
I left porn 3 ½ years ago because I just couldn't do it anymore, especially after the rape. I found out about The Pink Cross Foundation at a booth at AVN. I think very highly of The Pink Cross team and Shelley Lubben. They have taught me important information about the industry that I should have known before I even got in. They treat me like I am human. They are very caring. Shelley sends me care packages often. And they are filled with love, information, great books.etc. It put tears in my eyes. I felt so loved. It had been a long time since someone loved me like that. She and the organization don't force religion on anyone. I went to her and she treats me with love and respect. I like being around girls that are just like me - FORMER porn actresses. I am very thankful for Shelley's team and all of their prayers.
Since I met Shelley and heard that God has a plan for my life, I decided to leave the sex business for good. I have been stripping to make ends meet but now I know that God is with me and wants me to leave. I went to school for being a dental assistant so I am going to try and get a job. It's not easy right now because I know I have some health issues to deal with because of everything I've done. But I feel God really working in my life so Im not going to give up. Please pray for me.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa slammed global pharmaceutical firms on Friday over a covert campaign against its planned overhaul of intellectual property laws to favour cheaper generic drugs, accusing them of a "satanic" plot to commit "genocide".
It is not the first time drugmakers have clashed with Pretoria. A decade ago the industry was forced to climb down in a bruising battle over AIDS drugs patents and access to generics.
The latest fight reflects tension between an industry that wants to protect its intellectual property and profits as it pushes further into emerging markets, and governments from India to Brazil that are determined to increase patients' access to life-saving treatments.
South Africa is in the final stages of implementing a new law that would allow generic drugmakers to produce cut-price copies of patented medicines and make it harder for firms to register and roll over patents.
Global drugmakers have drawn up a $600,000 (£364,985) publicity campaign to mobilise local and overseas opposition to the changes, according to a document written by a drugs industry lobby group and seen by Reuters.
Minister of Health Aaron Motsoaledi lashed out at drugmakers on Friday, saying their campaign was aimed at turning South Africans against the government.
"It's a conspiracy of satanic magnitude," he said. "This document can sentence many South Africans to death. This is a plan for genocide."
Ellen 't Hoen, a campaigner on access to medicines in poor countries and founding director of the Medicines Patent Pool that has encouraged companies to share AIDS drug patents, said the drugmakers' planned campaign was a big mistake.
"How can industry not have learned its lessons after being burnt so badly before in South Africa?" she said.
Medecins Sans Frontieres, a long-time industry critic, said reform of South Africa's intellectual property (IP) laws was long overdue and the drug companies' campaign was "outrageous".
"The draft IP policy includes reforms that are not radical. For instance, the proposed patent examination system would reward truly innovative patents and weed out frivolous applications," said Julia Hill, MSF South Africa Access Advocacy Officer.
The ruling African National Congress is looking to cut healthcare costs as it grapples with the world's heaviest HIV/AIDS caseloads and its biggest treatment programme.
The new law is expected to reduce medicine prices and open up a fledgling generic drug industry dominated by Aspen Pharmacare and Adcock Ingram.
Many AIDS drugs are now available as cheap generics - though newer ones are still patented - but campaigners said the government proposals could also improve access to costly treatments for other diseases, including cancer.
The new policy would close a loophole known as "ever-greening" that allows a drugmaker to make minor changes to an existing drug or discover a new use for it, and then register it as a totally new find.
Healthcare activists say South Africa's track record of approving drug patents shows the need for reform - in 2008 it granted more than 2,400 patents compared with fewer than 300 in six years in Brazil.
Brazil and India, both of which have significant domestic generic drug industries, have taken a particularly tough line in limiting the award of patents to multinational drugmakers.
In India, this led to a high-profile showdown with Novartis over the patenting of its best-selling leukaemia drug Glivec, resulting in a defeat for the Swiss company last April.
The South African drug industry document - prepared by U.S. consultancy Public Affairs Engagement for the lobby group the Innovative Pharmaceutical Association South Africa (IPASA) - outlines a plan to delay the reform at least until after South Africa's elections in early May by suggesting the new law would be politically damaging.
"The world cares that South Africa is proposing to take a wrong turn in economic policy by weakening IP protections. And by cares, we mean both expresses compassionate concern and will take action by reducing investment," the document reads.
IPASA members include drugmakers such as Sanofi, Baxter International, Pfizer and Novartis.
IPASA spokeswoman Val Beaumont confirmed the authenticity of the document but said the proposals were still under consideration.
"No part of those proposals have been accepted. No part of that document has been implemented," she told Reuters.
The industry could now ditch the campaign - which it dubbed "Almost Political" - because the leaked document has likely weakened its negotiating position.

The world, because of Satan's corruptive influence and mankind's poor choices, has been falling apart almost since it began. But there remains hope—the sure return of a God who will reverse the seemingly irreversible damage we have both to our planet and our lives. Find out more below.

The Gordon Institute of TAFE grew out of the need for technical training in the brave new world of the 1800s industrial age. From its origins as a mechanics institute and a night school for tradespeople, the Gordon has become the embodiment of quality vocational education and training in Geelong and beyond. During the late 1800s, Geelong's increasing importance as an industrial centre, along with a worrying overseas trend showing Britain was losing its traditional markets to the United States and Europe, spurred leading Geelong citizens to campaign for greater technical training. However, it was another overseas event that hastened the Gordon's development. The heroic exploits of British general Charles Gordon had captured Geelong's imagination. His death during the siege of Khartoum in Africa prompted calls for a memorial. One proposal, backed by a military battalion brass band, suggested a statue but others wanted something more meaningful. What better memorial could there be, it was said, for a man whose life was devoted to civic duty and, especially, to the education of the disadvantaged, than a vocational institute? Since opening in 1887, in a single-storied hall and operating mainly night classes for tradespeople, the Gordon has developed into an institution operating across five campuses. The Gordon offers 220 nationally recognised courses in seven teaching schools, as well as 240 specialist courses exploring a wide range of career options. There is an annual enrolment of 26,000 students.

Kabam, the leader in the western world for free-to-play games for traditional players, today announced a new, broad-reaching agreement to bring its hit franchise games to Microsoft's rapidly expanding Windows device ecosystem.
As part of the deal, Kabam will deliver its lineup of hit games to Windows tablets and phones over the next year, including Fast & Furious 6: The Game, Dragons of Atlantis: Heirs of the Dragon and The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth. Moving forward, Windows users will be able to play future Kabam games in the same timeframe as other platforms.
"Kabam's goal is to be the free-to-play games leader across all mobile platforms," said Kent Wakeford, chief operating officer of Kabam. "Collaborating with Microsoft to put Kabam games on Microsoft mobile devices is a further step toward Kabam's platform ubiquity."
Windows Phone is a top three smartphone operating system and, according to IDC, the fastest growing platform among the leading operating systems with 91 percent year-over-year gain in 2013. According to IDC's mobile phone forecast, Windows Phone stands to grow the fastest among the leading smartphone operating systems with a predicted compound annual growth rate for 2013-2018 of 28.1 percent, driven by a strong Nokia device portfolio as well as the addition of nine new Windows Phone partners.
"Kabam is a leader in free-to-play games with a strong record of delivering game experiences that people love," said Steven Guggenheimer, corporate vice president and chief evangelist, Developer eXperience and evangelism, Microsoft Corp. "Bringing its existing franchise games as well as future hit titles makes the Windows ecosystem even more robust. In return Kabam will enjoy unmatched monetization opportunities, such as our industry-leading 61 carrier billing connections in 36 markets."
"Kabam is eager to take advantage of the increasing popularity of Windows devices," said Kabam Senior Vice President of Business Development Mike DeLaet. "By combining unique Microsoft technologies and merchandising opportunities with our robust games, Kabam and Microsoft will drive new types of innovation that will attract new gamers globally."
Terms of the partnership are not disclosed. However, the companies said Microsoft will feature all new Kabam games and major updates, and Kabam will include the Windows Store badge alongside other platform partners in its marketing and promotion of Kabam games.
Kabam has experienced massive growth since its founding as a games company a little more than four years ago. The company now has more than 800 employees in offices throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Kabam generated more than $360 million in revenue in 2013, a 100 percent growth over 2012.
About Kabam
Kabam is the leader in the western world for free-to-play games for traditional players with first and third party published titles available on mobile devices via its own dedicated channel in the Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore, and on the Web via Facebook, Yahoo, Kabam.com and other platforms. Kabam is the fastest growing Internet media company in the San Francisco Bay Area and the 17th fastest growing company overall in the U.S., according to Deloitte LLP. Kabam's 2013 revenues exceeded $360 million, a 100 percent increase over 2012. The company is profitable and cash-flow positive, and has created four titles that have grossed more than $100M each in their life. Kabam's Kingdoms of Camelot franchise has grossed more than $250 million in less than four years, making it one of the top 10 strategy franchises of all time. In 2012, Kabam Publishing was launched to provide third-party developers access to Kabam's technology platform, distribution channels, data analytics and best practices that Kabam's in-house development teams use to bring wildly successful games to players worldwide. Kabam has approximately 800 employees around the world, with corporate headquarters in San Francisco. The company's investors include Google, Warner Brothers, MGM, Intel, Canaan Partners, Redpoint Ventures, Pinnacle Ventures and others. More information about Kabam can be found at www.kabam.com.

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Los Angeles Kings have more players who are capable of finishing plays around the net this season. Count Pavol Demitra among them.
Demitra scored on a 40-foot wrist shot with 1:29 left in overtime, Eric Belanger also scored and Mathieu Garon made 24 saves, leading the Kings to a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Sunday night.
Tim Gleason sent Craig Conroy into the Minnesota zone with the puck and he fed it to Demitra, who stepped around Wild defenseman Nick Schultz and beat a screened Manny Fernandez to the glove side for his second goal of the season.
"I couldn't see the shot, but I knew he was going high-glove," Fernandez said. "I saw his face move, I saw his head move and I knew the shot was coming. I knew where he was going with it and I knew I was beaten right away."
Demitra, who averaged 30 goals over his previous seven seasons before signing with the Kings as a free agent in August, acknowledged that he waited for the screen to develop before letting it go.
"The defenseman tried to step up on me, so I faked, went around him, got open space and took a shot," he said. "There were two guys skating in front of the goalie, and I just shot as hard as I could. They have a hardworking team, play a strong defensive game and they're not going to open up too much at any time. So you have to make the most of the chances you create against them."
Fernandez made 30 saves in his season debut after missing the first two games with back and neck spasms. It was his first game action since his preseason appearance on Sept. 23, when he made 27 saves in a 2-1 victory over the Florida Panthers at Grand Forks, N.D.
"It would have been nice to steal one here," Fernandez said. "The guys worked hard and we didn't get what we deserved. But they played hard, too."
Minnesota had an 8-1 advantage in shots on net by the time Wes Walz opened the scoring at 6:52 of the first period with an unassisted goal. He beat Garon to the stick side from short range after a turnover in the Kings' zone, but the Wild wasn't able to get anything else past the rookie.
"The puck was bouncing in the slot all night, but I think he was seeing the puck well," Minnesota forward Alexandre Daigle said. "He was always on the rebounds and he didn't give up a lot of rebounds. It seemed like either his defensemen were on them or he was catching them. He's a good goalie."
The Kings tied it at 2:52 of the second period on a play that would have been whistled for offsides prior to this season, when passing the puck across two lines was a rule violation. Defenseman Mike Weaver made a long pass from behind his blue line to Derek Armstrong, who was a step behind the Minnesota line. Rookie George Parros worked the puck to Belanger, who beat Fernandez to the stick side from short range.
The officials had to go to the instant replay with 4:26 left in the third period to determine if Walz had put Minnesota back in front. Walz tried to jam a rebound past Garon, and the puck ended up in the goalie's glove along the goal line. But the replay was inconclusive.
"I caught the puck in my glove," Garon said. "A player came and pushed my arm over the goal line and I just pulled it back quickly, I had the puck the whole time. I didn't have much time to think about it. I just pulled my arm back I was just happy it was not a goal."
Game notes
Sunday was the 19th anniversary of Luc Robitaille's first NHL game and the first of his 654 career goals, which are the most by any left wing in league history. ... Before the game, the Kings activated team captain Mattias Norstrom, who was sidelined since Sept. 27 because of a strained left hamstring. Norstrom is the only Kings player to appear in all 17 regular-season meetings with Minnesota. ... D Denis Grebeskov, who turns 22 on Monday, was assigned to Manchester of the AHL after sitting out the Kings' first two games of the season as a healthy scratch. He was the 18th overall pick in the June 2002 draft, and played in four games with the Kings during the 2002-03 season.

I believe this might be a remote control flying object. They said it takes off and lands in a area where homes are.
Maybe some young college student has made this device and flys it from his home a few times a week??

Introduction. Men suffering from frenular scarring and stricturing with associated phimosis are traditionally treated with circumcision. In men wishing to retain their foreskin, the treatment options are limited by this dual pathology. Frenuloplasty alone is contraindicated in this clinical setting.
Aim. To demonstrate the utility of frenular grafting in patients with a tight frenulum and concomitant phimosis who wish to retain their foreskin.
Methods. Six men were included in the study. Presenting symptoms included bleeding (N = 2) and pain/phimosis (N = 6). Median age is 27 years (25–34 years). All men were healthy and sexually active. We describe a refined technique involving the excision of scarred and redundant frenular tissue and the insertion of a skin graft to the area.
Main Outcome Measures. All patients were assessed for graft viability, functional/symptom improvement, time to penetrative intercourse, and overall satisfaction.
Results. All men received an interposition skin graft with 100% viability, with no revision surgery required. Postoperatively, all men were sexually active and able to retract their foreskin.
Conclusions. Cosmetic outcomes are encouraging and painless sexual intercourse is attainable in this difficult group of patients. Kayes O, Li C-Y, Spillings A, and Ralph D.
