This cover does not fit my iPhone 5. It's cheaply made and very poor quality. The picture and description are deceiving.
This case is perfect for the iPhone. I have 2 little kids so when they get the case dirty it's so easy to just take the case off and clean it. It protects the whole phone.
When I first bought this case I was skeptical because I didn't know a case like this existed! It is amazing and the quality is great! It's like indestructible and protects the phone from almost everything The screen cover awesome but it's not as great as the regular touch screen but then again it's plastic lol
Bought this for my new iPhone 5 and I love it! Fits the phone perfectly- essentially it's a protectant box that the phone sits into with a clear cover that closes over the front and locks into the case. There are cut outs to allow easy access to speakers, headphone, charger, back camera and mute buttons. Volume and off/on are covered buttons that are soft yet firm, making the phone easier to grip, and I have no problem using the touch screen with the front cover or the front camera. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

South American mammal, with receding hair line. Loves butt dwelling monkeys. Favorite snack among snakes and sloths. Is associated with incessive noises which bring to mind fire alarms, car alarms and nagging wives. Often recognized by the howling sounds made during horrible football games, namely when the Chiefs are playing.
"Where did the Hervil go? It was eaten by the snake."

South american rodent, much like the rat. A favorite meal to boa constrictors and pythons. Distinctive receding hairline and the inability to be quiet when around others. The rodent has bad tastes in sport teams, namely (the chiefs) and spends his day listening for gossip around the woods.
What the hell is that irritating noise. Oh, by the looks of it, the sound must be coming from that Hervil.

Leilani Leeane is about to have her face riddled with Tommy Gunn's spooge in this episode of 1000 Facials. Leilani Leeane's tub is clogged and it needs a good routing, kinda like her pussy! Leilani takes control of the situation when the plumber shows up and she gets naked for him. Her message to him is loud and clear, she wants her pussy serviced in addition to her tub. Leilani drools all over his cock as she deepthroats it down. You can hear it hitting the back of her throat as she fucks his dick with her face. This is one house call he'll never forget! By the end of the scene, her tub isn't the only thing to get plugged.

- This article is about the protagonist of GTA III. For the GTA 2 protagonist, see Claude Speed. For other characters, see Claude Maginot or Claude Wome.
Claude is a recurring character in the Grand Theft Auto series, appearing as the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto III (set in 2001) and in a minor role in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (set in 1992). There is no voice actor for Claude, as he does not speak in either of his appearances.
Character History
Life until 2001
Claude grew up in San Andreas and by 1992 had emerged as a top contender in an illegal racing ring and owned an abandoned garage in Doherty, San Fierro. He became involved with Catalina, who had recently split up with Carl Johnson, before racing Carl Johnson in a losing effort. Following the loss, he hands over his garage to Johnson, before leaving San Andreas with Catalina. The two, heading towards Liberty City, go on a crime spree across the country, eventually reaching Liberty City in October 2001, nine years later.
Claude and Catalina arrive in Liberty City in October 2001 and immediately rob a bank. Catalina, however, turns on her boyfriend, shooting him and leaving him for dead, explaining that he is 'small time'. Claude is later arrested by the Liberty City Police Department. He is convicted of all charges and is sentenced to ten years in prison. While being transferred to a prison in Portland View, Claude escapes from a police convoy after the Colombian Cartel attack the convoy to free the Oriental Gentleman. Claude and 8-Ball escape to a safehouse in the Red Light District, before moving on to Luigi's Sex Club 7. Luigi Goterelli, the owner, gives Claude his first job in the city, to drive Misty from the hospital back to the club.
Claude, successful in his errand, continues to be employed by Goterelli, who also has him kill a drug dealer and two pimps, before having him drive Misty to Joey Leone's Garage. Claude then begins to work for Joey, killing both Mike Forelli and Lee Chong, before chauffering Toni Cipriani, later working for him against the Triads. Claude, impressing the Leone Family hierarchy, is introduced to the Don, Salvatore Leone. Salvatore, 'seeing nothing but bright things' for Claude, has him kill Curly Bob (who was selling secrets to the Colombian Cartel, now led by Catalina) and later destroy a freighter used as a factory for the drug SPANK. During this time, Claude also works for El Burro, the leader of the Diablos, helping him on various tasks, and Marty Chonks in his attempts to get out of his various problems.
After destroying the Cartel freighter, a paranoid Salvatore attempts to kill Claude by having him enter a bomb laden car. Salvatore's wife Maria, however, phones Claude and directs him to a small pier where the two meet Asuka Kasen, co-leader of the Yakuza, and flee to Staunton Island after Maria had told her husband that she was dating Claude. Asuka, unconvinced of Claude's loyalty, has him kill Salvatore Leone to prove himself, before having him kill a number of other people causing her problems. She later introduces him to her brother Kenji and Ray Machowski, a corrupt police man working for the Yakuza. Claude helps Kenji with his problems, including settling debts and freeing a man from prison, and helps Machowski in his attempts to remain unnoticed, eventually helping him flee the city by the airport.
Claude continues to look for work and finds employment with King Courtney, who has him attack the Diablos before attempting to kill him on orders from Catalina, and Donald Love, who has him kill Kenji Kasen disguised as a Colombian Cartel gangster, to provoke a war. Asuka, unaware of Claude's role in her brothers death, launches an assault on a Cartel controlled building site and begins to torture Miguel, Catalina's right hand man, into giving away Cartel secrets. Armed with the information, Asuka sends Claude on various missions to hurt Cartel operations, including stopping the selling of and stealing a shipment of SPANK.
During this period Claude, briefly, finds employment with D-Ice, leader of the Red Jacks sub-sect of the Southside Hoods, and attacks the rival Purple Nines into defeat. After this, Claude returns to the building site and finds both Asuka and Miguel dead, whilst a ransom note for Maria is left for him. Claude goes to the Cartel mansion, escapes an ambush, destroys a helicopter piloted by Catalina (killing her) and rescues Maria. Claude, at the end of Grand Theft Auto III, may have killed Maria as he fires a shot whilst she is talking, although he may have fired off the shot to stop her talking.
Claude is a laid-back man that appears almost emotionless regardless of the situation. He will take orders from his bosses without restraint and usually gives a nod or two to show that he understands; even when he is getting scolded or shouted at by his bosses for doing something wrong. He also bows down without having a word uttered (as in Kenji's case when Kenji bows down to Claude).He never speaks, and will only make a slight grunt when he is hurt, or an "Oah!" whenever he is killed. While crossing roads, if Claude is carrying a light weapon like a pistol, he will try to scare off a car by showing his weapon to the driver or will stick his middle finger in the air, irrespective of whosoever the driver is. He is the only GTA III Era protagonist who holds a heavy weapon with one hand while standing anywhere.
- Claude appears on a poster inside of the Ocean View Hotel in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, as an easter egg.
- Claude does not speak in either of his appearances, remaining silent, and is the only protagonist in the Grand Theft Auto III Era to do so. Maria Latore discusses this with Lazlow on Chatterbox FM, saying that a man she's just met "don't talk too much". However, as radio stations repeat everything over and over again, you can hear her saying that before she even meets Claude.
- Claude's name is only revealed in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, having been nameless throughout his appearance as protagonist in Grand Theft Auto III. He is the only protagonist in the series to not be named in the game in which he or she is protagonist.
- Claude was not the original protagonist of GTA III, replacing Novy.
- An Easter Egg in Grand Theft Auto IV states that Claude, along with the other GTA III Era protagonists, are deceased as of 2008. However, the Grand Theft Auto IV Era is not related to the storylines of the GTA III Era.
- In Grand Theft Auto IV the player can unlock a set of clothes exactly the same as Claude's for Niko Bellic.
- Claude may or may not be the same character as the Grand Theft Auto 2 protagonist, Claude Speed, with many fans stating that the two are the same character.
- It was revealed in Grand Theft Auto III's data files that the player was once allowed to enter their own character name, and the "DEFNAM" (default name) value for it was "Claude".

Happy Mothers Day!!!!!
My son is 14, today is the first Mother's Day I have been sober in his life.
I have been doing some reflecting on this today. (We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.)
Today, I woke up sober and my son told me Happy Mother's Day.
Today, I remember everything I did yesterday.
Today, I don't have to hold my head in shame for the things I did in the past.
Today, I am there for my son.
Today, I will have dinner on the table for him.
Today, I feel worthy of calling myself a mom.
Today, I feel worthy of his love.
Today, he is my first thought, not myself.
Today, we are both happy.
What a blessing my sobriety is for my son, not to mention the many blessings it is for me.
I hope all you mothers out there have a wonderful Mother's Day and take a second to remember (without morbid reflection) what it was like then, what happened, and what its like now.

Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
To what entity or person can I appeal that has higher authority
to help press my case for psychological counseling as part of my cancer
therapy? I thought somewhere that HMO's were obliged to go outside their
list of providers if none of the providers could provide the services (my
primary physician did make a formal referral). I had my mastectomy in
April '96 and have been working on my own ever since, simply because my
HMO won't move outside its list. Yet when I asked each person on the
list whether he or she provided cancer counseling, they each referred me
to the one person in my city who does this, and who, alas, is _not_ on
the list. None wanted anything to do with me (too bad for them I
think I'd be a trip, but that's beside the point).
We suggest you contact the psychologist in question to determine if they has any interest in attempting to negotiate a special rate for providing counseling services. You should simultaneously contact your employer's benefits office for assistance. There's no guarantee that the HMO will agree to such an arrangement. However, in some instances, they will make special arrangements for an individual patient. Finally, we suggest you also directly contact the HMO's Medical Director to discuss the situation.

NEW CASTLE, Del. - - A hot start in game one and the arms of Chelsea Botsch and Katie Warrington helped carry the Wilmington University softball team to a key Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference doubleheader sweep over University of the Sciences on Wednesday afternoon at Asbury Field.
Wilmington (20-19, 12-4 CACC) moved back above .500 with the sweep, scoring in all but one inning in game one before shutting out the Devils (12-16, 10-10 CACC) in game two on the strength of the arm of Warrington.
The Wildcats went with Botsch in game one in the circle, and she delivered a complete game master piece, allowing only one run on nine hits, striking out four batters to move to 5-6 on the season.
Botsch would receive all the help she would need in the bottom of the first inning, as the Wildcats put a three spot up on the board.
With runners on second and third and one out, Jill Stafford roped a single into left field, scoring Brooke Berger from third with the game's first run. Kinsley Parker executed a squeeze play in the next at-bat, sacrificing Christin Headley home to make it 2-0 with two outs in the inning.
Rachel Painter walked to put two runs on again in the first inning, and Kristin Garvin made Devils' starter Courtney Spina pay with a two-out double to right center scoring Stafford. The Wildcats tried to tack on another on the play, but Painter was cut down at the plate on the relay from right field.
The only inning the Wildcats did not score was in the bottom of the second inning, as they added single runs in each of the next four innings to close out the game.
Berger accounted for the run in the bottom of the third, as she led off the inning with her first home run of the season, solo shot to center field for the 4-0 lead. Headley and Stafford would to hit back-to-back singles and Parker would reach on an error to load the bases with no outs, but the Devils were able to get out of the inning to escape any further damage.
With Thompson standing on third after reaching on a single and two outs, Headley singled into right field, allowing Thompson to trop home for the fourth inning run and the 5-0 lead.
After the Devils scored their lone run of the afternoon in the top of the fifth, the Wildcats responded with another run in the home half of the inning. Stafford started the inning with a double to left center. Now with runners on first and third and two outs, Botsched reached on an error, scoring Stafford from third and the 6-1 lead.
Headley completed her 4-for-4 game in the sixth with a double, knocking in Thompson who singled to lead off the inning from first for her second RBI of the game.
Botsch would leave the bases loaded in the seventh to record the complete game win, moving the Wildcats back to .500 on the year.
The second game was more of a pitcher's duel between the two teams, as UScience's starter Julie Shaw only allowed single runs in the first, third and fourth innings. That was more than enough for Warrington, as she only allowed three hits in complete game win.
Wilmington would score all the runs it would need in the first inning, started by singles from Thompson and Headley. Still with two runners on and two outs, Painter smoked a doubled to right center, scoring Headley from second base to the game's first run.
Headley was in the mix once again in the third inning, as she doubled home Berger from first base to make it 2-0. Berger hit a one-out single to start the rally, while Headley's ball went down the left field line for her third RBI of the day.
Meghan Logullo scored the game's final run in the fourth, as she hit a one-out single into center field to jumpstart the inning. Two batters later, she scored an unearned run as Berger reached on a field error by the shortstop.
Warrington took care of it from there, striking out a season high 13 Devils en route to the victory. Warrington, named the CACC Pitcher of the Week for the third consecutive voting period yesterday, moved to 11-7 on the year and lowered her season's earned run average to 0.99 with the shutout.
Headley batted 6-for-8 on the afternoon, knocking in three runs and scoring two to lead the Wildcats. Berger added five hits in the two games while Thompson chipped in with four hits in the doubleheader. In all, Wilmington combined for 23 hits on the day.
With the two wins, the Wildcats move into a tie with Holy Family in the loss column in third place in the CACC standings. Wilmington will look to improve on their record on Saturday, as they host Post (11-27, 9-11 CACC) for a CACC doubleheader starting at 1 p.m. It is also the final home games for the Wildcats in 2012 and the team will honor its four seniors following the doubleheader on Senior Day.

Want to model for me?
As a photographer, I have a passion for collaborating with models and sharing knowledge. I photograph women aged 18 and up from all walks of life. Experience is a plus but not required.
What do I look for in a model? Someone who is individual and independent. You don't need to be perfect but you must be comfortable with your body. You need relatively smooth skin; some things can be covered by makeup or Photoshop.
A natural bust is required; no implants. If you have a very fit body with a small chest, that is okay too. Curves are okay as long is your midriff is tight.
Apply to be an art model in Charleston SC. I train new models and also cast experienced talent. I have time to help a few models develop a portfolio and market themselves. I make my income from selling art books and images, so I do not have to charge the models.
About Me
A second-generation artist, I became interested in art through museum visits and other cultural experiences while traveling. My initial training with the figure was life drawing in art school, but photography would become my medium of choice. In the last fifteen years I have photographed a few hundred women.
Nowadays, I create instructional materials for artists and models who are learning nude photography. I strive to create impactful, imaginative photos that celebrate beauty.

A male who is sexually attracted to women that are quite masculine, such as "butch" lesbians.

A male lesbian is a physiologically heteosexual male who wishes he'd been born a girl. He feels alienated by the social standards of gender roles. He may be a crossdresser or consider himself transgendered, but he is probably not transsexual. His ideal would be to be able to be his feminine self in a relationship with a biological female. If he is open about this, he may be ridiculed by both the gay and straight communities.
I don't know; maybe Prince is a male lesbian.

The male lesbian is either a male who is wholly psychologically feminine but attracted to women, or an androgynous male whose feminine half is attracted to women.
Dave is wholly psychologically feminine. He has the soul of a woman in a man's body, but finds women attractive. Thus, Dave is a male lesbian.
Rick is an androgynous male. Hes half masculine and half feminine. Both sides are attracted to women. Thus, Rick is a male lesbian AND a heterosexual male.
Rick is an androgynous male. Hes half masculine and half feminine. Both sides are attracted to women. Thus, Rick is a male lesbian AND a heterosexual male.

A man who Absolutely LOVES and Desires Women. But on the contrast does not relate to Men. As a teen he may have been very shy and could have also been view as gay because of his feminine characteristics. He is very interested in his own appearance ie: grooming, hair ,designer cloths ,etc. He does not like to watch the football Game. He would rather be talking or flirting with an attractive female. HE is not sure he wants to be a woman, but knows what he would do if he was one ,first his personality and interests would be the same, and second he could lighten up and be himself , third he would be a lesbian. He has a strong desire to please women, paticuarly the ones he is most emotionally attracted to.
If a male friend of the MALE LESBIAN has a wife or Girlfriend and His male friend and Wife or Girlfriend get into a fight, The MALE LESBIAN will almost always understand and take the side of the female.

Unhurried. Active. Environmentally aware. Lush. Protected. Biodiverse. Pura Vida -- the Pure Life. Costa Rica's pervading cultural ideology unites with its natural delights to create a unique national character, in which 25 percent of the land is preserved by law and there is no standing military. This invigorating program explores the essential nature of this Central American nation, from its pristine beaches and verdant forests to its rural villages and historic capital.
• On-site lectures with a local naturalist introduce the unique components of the rainforest, cloud forest and wetlands.
• Participate in cultural interaction activities in rural communities.
• Search for the elusive Resplendent Quetzal, the crown jewel of Costa Rica's birds, and learn about the life cycle of turtles during a visit to a research station in Tortuguero.
Activity Particulars
Walking up to 1.5 hours a day over uneven trails in hot and humid conditions. Elevations up to 8,000 feet. This program includes a number of bus transfers. The air conditioned Road Scholar bus does not have a bathroom on board; however, program activities and pit stops are built into the schedule for every 1.5 - 2 hours of travel.
This Road Scholar program offers participants the chance to explore a number of Costa Rica's iconic eco-systems within a relatively short period of time. Although bus travel is a necessity, it is also an opportunity to see and experience the country up close. En-route program activities help to break-up lengthier bus transfers and provide rewarding educational experiences. Local road conditions, weather, two-lane highways, winding roads, traffic, and elevation are bigger factors in determining the length of travel than actual distance.

Every year, under the watchful eyes of park guides, visitors enjoy nighttime walks on Tortuguero's beach in the hopes of seeing turtles (seasonal).

The National Park is situated right in the vicinity of Arenal Volcano. Although clouds often obscure the peak of the volcano, during clear days it is possible to see gases and steam rising from the cone. It is interesting to see how the periodic lava flows have contributed to the erratic growth of vegetation in the areas around the volcano

They built the first hotel (Cabinas Chacon, now named Savegre Lodge) and the first to set out to conserve the magnificent high elevation and oak forests that covered the entire valley. The patriarch of the family don Efrain Chacon, has transmitted his love for this land to his children and grandchildren.

To become "boglegged" and indeed have "boglegs" you have to spend a good deal of time on the toilet, after a while the blood flow to your legs is restricted and as a result you get hyper pins and needles and your legs go all Mongy and you cant walk when you stand up.
I was found on the floor of the toilet with me cecks round me ankles and widdle on me stomach as I stood up when I had boglegs and went arse over tits.
