Frank, girls don't have external genetalia so getting kicked in the groin is virtually painless to them. What makes it so painful to us is that our testicles are ultra-sensitive and even a light kick is painful. But if you want to be sure, ask one of your girlfriends if you can kick her in her groin.

I actually heard it was a myth that it didn't hurt girls much to get hit in the groin. And it was women who told me this. Perhaps most people don't know because it's an area that's less likely to be hit as it doesn't hang out as much as guys stuff.
I'm no expert, but getting the tip of a shoe, from an upward kick, to that area can't tickle.

Well yes the tip of a shoe I think would cause tremendous pain in a woman- as much as a swift kick in the groin

It Does

It hurts a women to get hit in the crotch as much as guy in most cases. Because the testicles are loose and hanging, and the vagina is compact, a blow of light force will be painful for a guy but not a girl. But because the vagina is compact the pubic bone is more vulnerable, so a blow of reasonable force force will be slightly more painful for females. In the groin are there is a pubic bone. Both women and men have this bone. When force is applied to the pubic bone, extreme pain almost always occurs, - male or female. This is not just some random fact, believe me. This is based on scientific knowledge.

Just try and slap a girl's naked groin and a guy's hanging balls. Then just compare the two reactions.

yes it does hurt
August 22 2004, 11:47 AM
There are many females in this world who are too immature to admit that being kicked in the vulva is extremely painful.
The fact is, I have seen females get kicked in the vulva & they were in as much pain as any guy I have seen get kicked in the testicles. In the 2000 Olympics I saw Lauren Burns get kicked in the vulva twice and she had to take a time out and hold her vulva, she was in that much pain and she was wearing groin protection, in fact in most regions of the world it's mandatory for males & females to wear groin protection during combat in martial arts.
Yes the testicles are larger, they hang outside the body and can be hit easier, but the vulva is slightly more sensitive as it contains the Bartholens' Gland and the clitoris which are very sensitive and can be damaged very easily in fact a kick in the vulva can cause vulvadynia which is a disorder that produces severe pain in the vulva all the time for no reason and the only treatment is to put ice on the vulva to numb the pain, now if the vulva wasn't as sensitive as many girls on claim, then there would be no disease called vulvadynia, go do a search at Google and see for yourself and see what pain women who suffer from this disorder have to face.
A male cannot suffer from long term testicluar pain-like disorders after being hit in the testicles because they are far tougher in structure than the Bartholen's Gland, the Bartholen's Gland is so important as without it sex is extremely painful cause it produces the moisture that lubricates the vaginal passages during sexual intercourse.
Yes there will be some cases where some men & women will not be too hurt after a kick in the groin, while others will be, it all depends on what damage is done to the region, such as a the impact force, how it's inflicted, rupture or internal bleeding.
I also saw a female football player who got kneed in the vulva and she was in so much pain, she had to be carried off on a stretcher, now that proves that being hit in the vulva is as painful as being hit in the testicles and that is something that none of your girls on here can counter-argue.
I have studied the female and male genitalia for a long time and I have studied psycyhology as well and I have come across a large amount of girls who just cannot accept that being hit in the groin is painful for women too, so they make up ridiculous stories where they claim they were kicked and it didn't hurt, or how they kicked a guy and he was put in a hospital, it's all too common to hear these girls make up these lies (exept maby for the guy-hospital thing which is possible), it's just part of their immaturity, they do not want guys knowing females have a weakness too.
Here's the perfect example. Susan i dont want to offend u but im just making conlcusions. U sad that getting kicked in the vulva is absolutley not painfull at all. Well first things first. Getting kicked against ur body always hurts. Second of all u have to understand the biological course of the male body. The male body is build up out of the not fully developed female feutus (baby, correct spelling?) the clitoris will become the penishead, the labia majora will become the ball sack. dont know about the rest, but the sensitive nerves that are on the testicles arent developed after birth, they also come out of the female futus fundament. So girls also have these nerves and the mount out in the klit. so a good kick whilst it must be hard will hurt any female what so eva.
But sadly enough there is this stereo type going on that it will only hurt men, heck most men and female alike dont even know this nasua stabbing fact of the pain factor of females. And there is this thing about sexual assault (that is kicking a guy in the balls without u being attacked) to a men is funny (u see it in all sorts of movies and there was even a americas funniest home videos special dedicated to this "funny thing" (it is not)
But violence/sexuall assault to a women isn't funny in general. Like a guys friend would probaly laugh at his misfortune if he got nailed in the sack by a girl but her girlfriends would probaly not laugh if she got hit in her vulva by a guy.
(A mouthfull) And this is not a random fact.
thank u for your time, i know it is quit a bit of reading.

August 22 2004, 1:22 PM
You are correct in a way. Yes a woman who is involved in contact sports and receives a very strong blow to her vulva will experience extreme pain - and perhaps have vulvadynia. ( A very rare occurance - and the women who do have it - it is usually not for this reason.)
A ball/punch/kick being thrown in a sport is going extremely fast and would cause considerable pain - to either a man or a woman.
Men have conditions similar to vulvadenia - and sometimes get cancer because of receiving extreme damage to their testicles, have hernias, and other nasty conditions.
But there is no comparison between a relatively light kick a woman would give a man if she was upset at him and a a relatively light kick to a woman. A man would feel pain from a light kick whereas a woman would not.
The clitoris is protected far more than the testicles are. If direct contact was made to the clitoris - yes it would hurt tremendously - but the likelihood of that is small.

Women have the Advantage!
August 22 2004, 10:16 PM
I once was fighting with my older brother and i was curious so i kicked him in the groin and bent over and started moaning. Also, I was playing baseball with his friend, and I hit the ball right into his balls and he dropped like a rock and passed out. Now, I've been kicked pretty hard in the crotch while playing soccer and it didn't hurt at all. So to all you boys who think that a crotch kick hurts a female, you're wrong. I'm glad i'll never have to get kicked and have it hurt like it does a man!!

Yes it does hurt
August 25 2004, 10:10 AM
Well i know perfectly well that the testicles are much more vulnerable then the vulva. The testicles hang out of the body and the vulva does not so the testicles are much easier to hit. I knew all about those nasty things that men could get from a groin kick, Like getting a hernia. I know that a light force to the female groin will not hurt a women as much as a it would a man. Only hard hits will have the same pain effect, but the hit to the female groin has to be aimed very precise.
And that is exactly my point.
Well first of all let me tell u about pain.
U have nerves that can give u different kinds of pain, like pain of when u fall on the ground and hurt ur knee (slow pain) , pain of a needle (fast pain).
The pain that u get of a groin kick is not like those pain sensations at all. Its a stabbing nasua kind of pain, your legs can feel very light like jelly, u can throw up and the feeling goes all the way up ur under stumoch, because of the nerves end there.
Maby u didn't followed me, because what i was trying to tell is that women can feel the same nasua stabbing pain as that a men would feel. So im not talking about the pain what u get of when u fall on the ground and hurt ur knee (slow pain, no, i'm talking about the same sick like feeling of what men have to endure. Thats because of what i told first about that we have the same nerves in our body.
So yes a men is likely to get hit easier in the groin not only of the vulnerablle position of the testicles but also because thats how it is.. Girls (like) doing that to do that (well there are ocasions that its nececary and then i would be less vicous, but i have read many forums and heard some stories of girls persnonaly and there reasons for it. Like that a girl told me that she was angry at her boyfriend because he neglected her and was mean to her and therefore she kneed him (did someone said sexuall assault?) And Girls often do this because its like this easy to raise ur knee or foot and the results are remarckable and satisfying and most of the time they think it was funny (i read on a forum somewere about 'her first time' -like she was no longer a virgin - and she said that she had to do it at least ones in her life becasue she thougt it was so funny. I also asked them if they've done it often to a guy and most of them responded: "oh lots of time" (and most of the time it was not for selfdefense, just all because they were angry and stuff). I didn't recall that any girl said to me that she was the unlucky one if u know what i mean
But to get back, no indeed a women isn't likely to get hit in the groin in everyday life, but what im telling is that they can feel the same pain as us.

Re: Yes it does hurt
August 25 2004, 10:57 AM
Bjorn and others,
I personally do not have any experience with this idea of kicking/ kneeing guys for fun- or without provocation. I personally know of only one occassion when I have done it - and that was when was lying on my bed in my dorm room and a guy came thru an open window and jumped into my bed and tried to have sex with me. I am not sure what I did- but I was fighting with all I had.
But I do know I have been paralyzed with fear MANY times when guys have come onto me -not in nice ways- and refused to take no for an answer - or were so drunk or high that reasoning with them was not a choice. Sadly I have allowed guys to do things I really don't want them to do because I haven't had the guts to give them a swift kick.
I have instead convinced myself that being touched when I do not want to be touched is just a touch and doesn't really matter and I can get over it. Trouble is you don't. Each time you allow a guy to touch you inappropriately it leaves a permanent mark on your psyche. And eventually you get enough marks that it changes the way you view the world.
I've written elsewhere how I do not think I am marriage material. It is partly for what I describe here that I think this. I have a hard time standing up for myself and put other people's needs before mine. I would stay in abusive relationship too long. I don't want anyone to shut down their ability to defend themself the way I have.

I can relate to that
August 27 2004, 3:51 PM
Hey its me again. Im not gonna talk about the pain factor anymore. In my Letters i dicribed how unfair i think it is that men are often groin attack victims for no good reasons. Relating to that subject i found an article that describes exactly what i mean. Enjoy.
Television & Movie Industries Controlled by Feminists:
Every division of television is controlled by feminism or moderated; feminists control all material that is broadcasted on television. All television programs are screened by feminist organisations, & if these programs produce any material that is offensive to females in a manner that shows physical or physical violence against females, then the feminist organisations will publicly expose the network & the producer until their reputation is destroyed & the program will be taken off air.
Repression & Distortion:
All news services provided by the various television networks are also controlled by feminism; they are only allowed to broadcast statistics, news clips & information that portray females as being the "victims" & males as the "monsters".
These programs are only allowed to leak facts & statistics that give the impression that females are the victims of crimes with the offender being male, usually sex crime. Now, while these news channels are happy to distribute such facts, they refuse to release facts about false rape allegations, sexually assault or sexually violence performed by females, child murder, homicide & physical assault as in these crimes, females are the offenders at least 60-70% of the time & the victims usually are males 80% of the time.
Sexual Violence Against Men:
Now, as far as entertainment is concerned, we all know that the content shown in television & movies is always based around securing the best ratings, however the feminists have based all content around what they believe is acceptable & unacceptable.
Feminists claim that it is acceptable to show females kicking males in the testicles for no legitimate reason, with the intention to embarrass the male & make everyone watching laugh at him & think of the female as being a "hero", now this activity is shown in almost all programming shown on television, it would be very unlikely for there to be a program that has not shown a female kicking male in the testicles at least once.
Now feminists have forced producers to always invent a way of showing a female kicking a male in the testicles no matter what, as you will see they will usually resort to having a fight between a male & female & even if the female has won the fight & it not in any danger, she will kick the male in the testicles as "revenge" but what feminism refuses to show is females being hit in the vulva.
Now in these fight scenes, the females could be fighting either a male or female & she could be on death's door, but the feminists will not allow the producers to show her kicking the offender in the vulva to save herself, not even in self defence, feminists claim that it is unacceptable to show females or males kicking another female in the vulva even in self defence, they claim that the vulva is so sensitive to pain that acts of violence to this area are strictly unacceptable regardless of whether they are performed in self defence.
Now, feminists claim as the testicles are very sensitive to pain as well, that programming must show females kicking males in the testicles as a way to teach society that males have a weak target & that females should strike this target whenever they feel like doing so.
Now, feminists claim that it is unacceptable to teach society that the vulva is very sensitive to pain & is a weak target of the female body, because they claim this would encourage males to kick females in the vulva.
Ok, so as you can see the feminists contradict themselves in a variety of ways, it is evident that their sole purpose is to produce anti-male material that will cause public persecution of males as well as a way to educate females to commit sexual violence against males in the form of kicking them in the testicles.
Now as for movies, well there are a few that contain scenes where females are kicked in the vulva, rarely by males but the producers of these movies are brave & have enough courage to show such material & must be congratulated, while the rest of the producers are pathetic "working ants" who are controlled by the "queen ant".
If you are still wondering about how sensitive the vulva is, then I will answer your question right now. The vulva contains the Bartholin's Gland & the clitoris which are just as sensitive to pain as the testicles are, they are both tender structures that can be damaged by a low force must like such a force to the testicles causes.
The following statistics came from a study performed by the Journal of the American Medical Association in early December, 1995; you can view the original article at HERE
The second story was concerning a study of young boys being kicked in the groin which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in early December 1995. The authors noted, among other things, that most cases occurred in the 7th and 8th grades and further that "BOYS WITH A PHYSICAL LIMITATION, USUALLY EYEGLASSES [ed emph] or asthma, were three times more likely than other boys to get kicked in the groin. [Maybe this is why we are seeing fewer traumatic hyphemas (see follow-up note below); maybe these 'typical boys are now kicking the disadvantaged in the groin instead of punching them in the eye.
This behaviour was attributed to the fact that the groin kick these days now appears in many movies, as a dumb or heroic thing: kids are getting the message that it is OK to kick someone in the groin- either as a joke or to get even or punish someone. Nor is this traumatic experience to be taken lightly: a year after the study 25% of those disadvantaged boys who had been kicked in the groin had signs of depression and 12% demonstrated post-traumatic stress syndrome.
Although it was eyeglasses in this particular study that were offered as the physical limitation for which groin kicks were appropriately delivered, it is not a far reach of the imagination that any ocular abnormalities such as un-straight eyes might well provide a similar if not stronger rationale for the administration of a groin kick by those so inclined to manifest their rejection of their disadvantaged, other than 100% normal appearing, peers.
There are currently 1531 known movies that contain scenes in which a male actor is shown being kicked/kneed/punched/hit in the testicles,

Re: I can relate to that
August 28 2004, 11:02 AM
I actually agree with much of what is in the article you provided - except I am not at al sure this can be attributed to feminists. I consider myself to be a feminist and I do not want men treated prejudiciously in the media anymore than I want women to be. I have noticed a pattern of idiot husbands in TV comedy that I find offensive.
I know many of you will be unfamilar with these TV shows- but Everyone Loves Raymond is about as anti-male as a program can be. Raymond who writes his own material depicts himself as a person who is clueless about most everything. I do not find this program at all funny or endearing - but a source of amazement and anger.
Tim the Toolman is another where a male comedian writes himself into a storyline as a buffoon - I do find this funny, but pehaps because I find there is a greater attempt at balance with other characters. But on occassion I do think it goes overboard.
There are numerous other sitcoms that make fun of men.
I suppose it started back with All in the Family with Archie Bunker. This was an amazing program and was a trail blazer in television - but it did use Archie as an ignorant man to demonstrate the fallacies of conservatism.
I don't blame this on feminists. I blame this on corporations that buy the advertisments that keep bad comedy on the air. I blame it in the male comedians that bad mouth themselves. I blame it on the men who say nothing about the drivel and allow their children to watch it. Some feminists may have a hand in this, but I don't see them as the main problem.

Personally I liked it in the old days when Hollywood had that standards code each movie had to live up to (not that I lived through this time mind you). Such as they couldn't show crime paying off, or people subjects dealing with the groin.
Personally I'm no fan of feminists (no offense), but that article seems a little over the top. Feminists screening movies for content and twisting them to their agenda? I know a lot of Hollywood types have pet causes, but I can't really only blame feminists. Especially when men probably make up the majority of producers and executives, and 1/2 the theater going population.
Personally I think they shouldn't show groin hits at all, but if they are, then show it on men and women.

August 29 2004, 8:26 AM
about girls getting hit there I don`t think so.
but girls think before you kick.......
Once my cousin(girl) saw this site dedicated to hitting guys between the legs.....she got ubssesed about it.
She tried it to me with her high heels.
I passed out and next thing I know........................................I was in the nearest clinic wrapped up in blankets and clutching my eggs with fear.
I had to apply ointment for 2 weeeks.
That wasn`t a pleasnt expierience
Girls: don`t get upssesed with kicking guys in the nuts.
I admit that girls might be better than boys but there is no need to kick.
self defense: use that move when youre being attacked buy a guy it`s effective.
Think before u kick!

August 29 2004, 12:27 PM
Ur wright that article wasn't my own and i to thought it was a little bit to much about the femist thing but if u keep that part away it is all true. I mean Boys are tought at an early each in general that they musn't hurt girls becasue they are weaker by strenght. Girls are not tought that they musn't hurt boys. They learn that boys have these things between there legs and that they are very sensitive. These girls will see groin attacks in movies and television and see what would happend. then they become curious about it.
And boys arent tought that female groins are sensitive to. (i knew that fact when i was 15)
Abuse and humiliation toward men:
1: U can buy a marriage counceling kit for the female who can use it for the male. The slogan reads: thread him like a king, train him like a dog. And if he behaves good there are cochlate chip cookies provided with it u can give him. ( the people behind it thought it as humor)
2: I read on the net about a letter of an angry male who saw a cartoon were a women nailed a guy in the sac. There was a massage in it that couldnt be missed that was that the guy was castrated and the women was the hero of the cartoon. The guy wrote to the male script artist of the cartoon and they replied that it was sexual abuse towards men and there's nothing wrong with that.
3: On a car deal ship billboard u can see a women standing on a men as if she had conquered him and like she was the hero
4:I've recently saw sex and the city for the first time ever. I've heard that it was a succes comedy and many celerberties watch it. (most of them were female). The episode that i watched was called "sex and power" something. I watched it about 5 10 minutes and i realised it was a true feminist sitcom. Not only because of the female actors and there "struggle/life". but i soon saw a scene were 4 female friends were eating in a friends room and they were discussing to get promoted and be wealthier. I will qoute it: Female # 1: So how can we get to higher levels? # 2: Well, we could use our sexuallity on men.
# 3: but wouldn't that be abuse? # 2: Yes but its conflicted towards men and thats perfectly legal.
Get the picture. u can just call it feminist propaganda. but i can realte to u susan this reality isn';t just because of feminists. Its also becasue of men them selfs. Most men dont seem to have a problem with it. its like they just think that its just the way it is. That kicking guys in he balls was a reality that has been there for as long as there are people. But in fact it all started in the seventies. that was the period when it became "funny" and normal.
By the way i can go one for hours like this. i have lots of articles relating to this subject, but i think its all clear now, so i gues its just better we call it a day and i'l stop talking about it huh Susan?

Taste of Terroir winners
By Jessica Yadegaran
Friday, July 27th, 2007 at 10:28 am in Uncategorized.
Last night was Livermore's Taste of Terroir, a wine pairing contest of sorts that takes place in the gorgeous Palm Event Center, on the Michael Katz property off Vineyard Drive in Pleasanton.
Ah the power of a good pairing! It was definitely a positive way to experience Livermore wines, particularly the reds, which I often find too hot for my taste (15.9 % alcohol in a Syrah is not uncommon; neither is 14.4 % in a Tempranillo, which was billed to me as a "lighter red wine").
I had just come from the new Livemore Safeway on First Street, the chain's first uber-lifestyle store with a deluxe wine bar I will be covering in the August 8 Food & Wine section. Phil Wente was manning it, pouring free samples of Murrieta's Well wines. YUM. With their luscious White Meritage lingering on my palate, I headed straight to that station at Taste of Terroir.
The balanced structure and fruit of the Sauvignon Blanc-Semillion blend provided just the right softness for the poached rock shrimp on spicy couscous salad with lemon vinaigrette, courtesy of As Good As It Gets Catering.
But that wasn't my favorite pairing. My favorite pairing involving a white wine was the John Christopher Cellars 2005 Chardonnay. They served it with seared scallops with chevre and brandied pears topped with organic feta. The pear flavors echoed in the Chardonnay was outstanding, not to mention the mimicking richness and pillowy butter of both scallops, this varietal and the chevre.
I think the most successful pairings help people understand and eventually appreciate a wine's true style. That's what this one did for me, a person who doesn't typically like traditional Chardonnay. For a moment I was over the new, trendy unoaked expressions. Only for a moment though.
There were two fantastic red pairings and both won, which you'll see below. The Garre Cafe made a phenomenal strawberry stuffed with smoked quail, goat cheese and aged balsamic vinegar to go with Garre Winery's 2004 Gina Maries Private Reserve Merlot. Pow! The vinegar-kissed berries brought out all that is good and true in Merlot. Try it at home sometime.
The People's Choice and Judges Award went to the same pairing, a 2005 Syrah Clark's Corner Syrah from Mitchell Katz Winery that was served with wild boar sliders on sweet potato brioche with Syrah-sour cherry ketchup. Yowzers. Most of us felt that the Syrah was too young on its own, but paired with that lip-smacking ketchup, it was truly a whole new wine.

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Love This
Probably one of the best things the Internet is used for by many people, is recommendations. Whether it's the best films, the coolest cars, the funkiest cocktail bars, the cheapest prices on 42-inch 3D plasma TVs, whatever, a few clicks will get you to more opinions than you can shake a wireless mouse at.
The big problem then, is that which of those opinions do you listen to?
We've all seen sensible, constructive feedback published online. And we've all seen the ranting, toxic nonsense spilling from the keyboards of dribbling morons too.
The online world is full of rogue builders, dodgy investment brokers and sites that will just plain rip you off and the real world is full of people, places and processes that will only ever disappoint you.
Thank goodness then for www.lovethis.com, a new site which will only give you recommendations from the people you trust - your mates.
And if you can't trust them, you probably need to get out more. Good job you'll know where to go.
If you have a website that you want to tell us about email us via the feedback form.

Product Information
- GeoSafari Jr. Talking Bug Net from Educational Insights
- Part of the GeoSafari Jr. brand
- We recommend this product for ages 4 and up
- 3 AAA batteries required TTPM Is Always On With
What It Is
With the GeoSafari Jr. Talking Bug Net, kids don't have to catch real bugs to learn about them. This toy net comes with six plastic bugs: praying mantis, spider, ladybug, grasshopper, bee, and butterfly. When you place one of the bugs in the net, the net knows what bug you've "caught". There are two modes of play. In Fun Facts mode, place a bug in the net to hear a fun fact about that bug. In Quiz mode, listen to the instructions and drop the right bug in the net. If you do, you'll get a congratulatory response. If you drop the incorrect bug into the net, it will give you one more try to find the right bug. After a second incorrect answer, the net will ask you a new question. There are also instructions for playing a group game with the Talking Bug Net. The net has more than 100 fun facts and quiz questions.
Is It Fun?
The GeoSafari Jr. Talking Bug Net is a way for young kids to explore the world of bugs without having to get up close and personal with real bugs. Kids will like how this interactive net recognizes the bugs and gives information on each bug. The net can also be used as a stand-alone roleplay item for kids who want to go on pretend bug hunts.
Who It's For
The GeoSafari Jr. Talking Bug Net is for ages 4 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
Three AAA batteries are required but not included.
In Fun Facts mode, only place one bug in the net at a time.
In Quiz mode, if you incorrectly answer a question two times, the net just moves on to another question without letting kids know what the correct bug should be. This may be frustrating for kids who want to know the right answer to the question.

NETZSCH Machines and Plants for various Industries and Applications
The machines and plants manufactured by the Grinding & Dispersing Business Unit of the NETZSCH Group are used primarily in the following areas of application: chemicals, paint, pigments, inorganic matter/minerals, sealants and adhesives, ceramics and in the life science field for pharmaceuticals, goods and biotechnology applications. The demands placed on machines and technology in these different industries are extremely varied. They must be reliable, have a long service life and be easy to operate and custom tailored for the particular application.
That is our strength and you can rely on it. We will work with you to develop the right solution for your processing task.
NETZSCH Confectionery is attending the cocoa, chocolate, compound, filling cream and spread industry in the premises of NETZSCH in Selb, Bavaria, Germany as well through several sister companies in all globe.
Research & Development, Teaching
For basic research, product and formulation development you can count on our well-proven laboratory machines. Reliable technology, easy operation and service – you need only concentrate on your scientific problems.
Ores / Minerals / Metals
The mining and extraction of natural resources has played an important role throughout the history of mankind. The valued components are extracted from the mined mineral aggregates through various processing steps in which NETZSCH machines and plants play a role.
Paint is a coating material based on organic binders and, depending on the composition of the binding agent, can contain organic solvents and/or water. The organic or inorganic pigments that are finely dispersed in the binder give the paint its color. In general, paint is composed of binders, solvents, fillers, pigments and additives.
Pigments / Dyes
A world without color would be dull and drab. The elements and substances that make everything colorful are, on the one hand, divided according to the chemical structure into inorganic and organic colorants. On the other hand, the designation pigment or dye is geared toward how the colorant behaves in a particular medium. Therefore, the distinction between pigment and dye is not rigid and a single substance can be both a pigment and a dye at the same time.
Printing Inks
Printing inks are finely dispersed, liquid to pasty mixtures which are made up of colorants such as pigments, binders (oil-varnish) and additives such as thinners, wax dispersions, etc.
Life Science
Applications in the Life Science fields, such as active pharmaceutical ingredients and additives, cosmetics, household maintenance and textile care products or biotechnology products place very high demands on the machines to be employed. Matched to your application, we offer you machines with a specific design (e.g. free of dead space and GMP compliant) or specially designed models tailored to the particular requirements.
For many years now, food products have been processed with a wide variety of technologies with the machines and plants of the Grinding & Dispersing Business Unit of the NETZSCH Group. From baby food to a multitude of spices to grains and sugar, cost-effective preparation by fine grinding is required. Machines constructed of rust and acid resistant materials ensure compliance with food processing standards.
Ceramics / Glass
To this day, ceramics have proven their value in a multitude of applications. Continuous advancements mean that ceramics are also of interest for new applications which require durability, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and temperature stability – and, at the same time, a low specific weight. Such new high-tech materials achieve strengths that are comparable with those of metals.
Agricultural Chemicals
Pesticides protect plants or plant products from organisms that could damage them. The Grinding & Dispersing Business Unit delivers the right technology for the production of pesticides – whether by wet or dry processing.
Nano Applications
The production of very fine particles by grinding coarse particles is referred to as the dispersion method or "top-down" process. For such grinding tasks, high energy densities such as those realized in agitator bead mills must be available. They are employed in many branches of industry for grinding raw materials into the nanometer range as well as for dispersion of fine pigments and products from "bottom-up" processes.
Adhesives / Sealants
PMH and PML Planetary Mixing and Kneading Machines are especially suited for the production of adhesives and sealants. BP Tank Press-outs can be used to empty the system tanks of the mixing and kneading machines.
Cellulose / Pulp
The extraction of cellulose is a complex process overall. A whole series of mechanical and chemical steps are required to first separate cellulose from the natural impurities and then refine it until chemically pure. The specially developed CONDUX Model CS 500/1000-Z High-performance Cutting Mill is used in this process. Here, the feedstock is finely ground using a multi-blade rotor (16 cutter bars on the perimeter) and a multitude of fixed cutting blades along with a special screen insert.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - The rules to watering became clearer for Gwinnettians on Thursday, when county officials decided to echo state mandates instead of using their own rules.The new restrictions are slightly looser than the most recent county rules, changed a month ago to allow hand-watering. "I have every confidence that Gwinnett's businesses and residents will do the right thing by adhering to the state's outdoor watering restrictions," said County Administrator Jock Connell, who was given authority in March to make drought-related decisions by the Board of Commissioners. "I would encourage everyone to keep up their water conservation efforts." According to Gwinnett Water Resources Acting Director Lynn Smarr, the biggest change to the restrictions involves newly installed landscapes. Since December, the county has only allowed 10 days of watering out of the first 30 days after new plantings, but the less restrictive state rule allows 30 days during the first 10 weeks. All water users must abide by an even-odd schedule, based on address and only water for 25 minutes from midnight to 10 a.m., but whereas most vegetation can only be watered by hand, using a hose with a release-nozzle, large areas of new vegetation may be watered by sprinkler. Smarr said the changes do not mean the county is less concerned about drought, as Lake Lanier, the county's major water supply, remains about 13 feet below its full level. "This is to be consistent with the state. It's a little bit easier for our customers if we are all on the same playing field," she said. "We're heading into the summertime, and our customers need to be conservative. But this makes it a little easier." Residents can go to www.gwinnettcounty.com for information about the watering restrictions, as well as a toilet-rebate program and a program allowing customers to truck reclaimed water from the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center in Buford for street sweeping, dust control, irrigation and other uses. "It's important to know the rules because the Department of Water Resources will be enforcing them," Smarr said.

"So, what kind of music do people at the CMC write?" one is often
asked. One of our artistic goals at the Columbia University Computer
Music Center is to make this question, at best, a very difficult
one to answer. As you will hear on this disc, a wide variety of
musical styles, aesthetics, and technical approaches to computer
music are represented and fostered at the CMC; all are pursued at
the highest level of musical and technical quality. Gorgeous ambient
soundscapes, explorations of rhythm and new musical forms, interactivity
with instrumentalists, dancers, visual artists and scientists; CAC
(computer-aided composition) of purely instrumental works; explorations
of song, speech, speech-rhythm, poetic prosody, new varieties of
sound synthesis and processing, style modelling---these and more,
in varied combination, characterize the scintillating variety of
approaches to composition found at the CMC.
We at the CMC hope you enjoy the selections on this disc. If particular
works interest or excite you, please check out the web site(s) of
the composer(s) in question. Many would be happy to provide you
with more recordings and information about their music

"I was Hannah Montana's mother! Where did I go wrong?" – Brooke Shields slammed Miley Cyrus' VMAs raunchy performance during an interview with the Today Show this morning. "I just want to know who's advising her and why [the racy display] is necessary… [Our children] can't watch that. I feel like it's a bit desperate," she added.
Ouch! At least she said what we were all thinking, amIright? Brooke, who played Miley's TV mom on a few episodes of Hannah Montana, hinted that her overboard sexy bad-girl image is probably the result of trying to rebel from her Disney days.
"You could see her trying so hard to go against that," she said. "She can sing beautifully, and I feel like if she lets that lead, rather than let her bottom lead… She's trying so, so hard."
Do you think Brooke's theory is dead-on? Or do you think Miley has always had the twerking side in her and it was just waiting to bust (a move) out? Tell me in a comment below!

The children's charity Barnardo's has said the move - which was voted by 101-0 at Holyrood yesterday - will send a clear message that it is "not acceptable" - with jail terms of up to seven years.
Only four MSPs abstained in the vote after Holyrood's Justice Committee had called for the Scottish Government to consider if it would be practical for to introduce its own legislation on the issue.
In a written submission to the committee, Mark Ballard, head of policy at Barnardo's Scotland, said: "We believe that creating an offence under Scots law of forcing someone into marriage would be the right step to take in order to tackle this very serious issue.
"We believe that, much like the attitude towards domestic abuse, cultural and societal attitudes towards forced marriage need to change. Making it a criminal offence to force an individual into marriage will send a clear message this behaviour is not acceptable."
He said that, currently, victims may be unwilling to come forward as they "may even feel as though they do not want the perpretrator punished by a criminal sanction".
He added: "By criminalising the act itself we will begin to shift perceptions and start the drive towards cultural change that is needed to stamp out forced marriage in Scotland."
Alison Davies, manager of Saheliya, an Edinburgh-based organisation which provides mental health support for black and ethnic minority women, said: "We believe it will strengthen support work and preventative work.
"Forced marriage should be in line with other abusive practices within the family such as domestic violence and sexual abuse."
Currently there is no criminal offence of forced marriage in Scotland but courts can issue protection orders to those at risk, which if breached could carry a two-year prison sentence.
Without forced marriage being a criminal offence the country risked failing to comply with the Council of Europe's convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence, also known as the Istanbul Convention.
The legislation will make it a criminal offence for someone to use violence, threats or any other form of coercion to force another person into a marriage - with this offence having a maximum custodial sentence of seven years.
Minister Shona Robison said that forcing someone to get married against their wishes was an abuse of their human rights.
She said: "Forced marriage is thankfully not an issue that affects the majority of people in Scotland. However, it is a blight on those communities where it happens and can have a devastating effect on the lives of victims."
She told how seven forced marriage protection orders had been granted since Scottish legislation was passed in 2011.
Ms Robison added: "We're seeking to go further in the protections available for victims by creating a new criminal offence of forced marriage through the legislative consent motion on the Antisocial Behaviour, Crime and Policing Bill going through Westminster."

Ashley Benson's Crazy First Kiss Story (VIDEO)
Everyone remembers their first kiss, but how many people can actually go back and re-watch it whenever they want? Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson (Hanna) can!
Yesterday (July 23), Ashley stopped by Conan, where she chatted about her acting good luck charm (Drew Carey. Really), being responsible for the "Call Me Maybe" phenomena, and, yes, her first kiss.
It turns out that memorable moment came at the age of 15 for Ashley — and it was for a part! Ashley was starring on Days of Our Lives when she had to lock lips on screen with her 20-something costar.
"It was in a party scene," Ashley explained, "So there were all these extras there, and then you have the whole crew. It was very weird."
She added that "I look back, watching it, and I'm like, 'Wow, that's very awkward looking.' Oh well!"
Check out the full interview below.

Would you like to enjoy your next family holiday in the company of your four-legged friend? Does the idea of leaving your children's beloved pet fish in the hands of a stranger bring tears to their eyes? Both of these problems can be fixed when choosing accommodation in Mornington, as there are plenty of places that will actually allow you to bring your pets with you.
Whilst it is not recommended that you bring your furry feline friend on holidays – they're prone to running away, after all – with the proper research you are sure to find establishments that are happy to accommodate your dog, fish and even your guinea pigs! You may not be able to experience the motel or bed and breakfast getaway you were after, but at least you'll be able to enjoy it with the entire family.
The best way to begin is to do an internet search for pet friendly accommodation in Mornington. More often than not, the results will be composed of holiday houses and units, as they have a backyard. And, if the description doesn't specify whether your pets can be accommodated or not, it never hurts to ask the owner for clarification. Let them know what kind of pet you are hoping to bring with you and wait for their response. Keep in mind, however, that you may be required to keep your pet outside for the duration of your stay.
When it comes to choosing your next holiday destination, remember that by choosing accommodation in Mornington you can include all members of your family, even the furry and scaly ones. Don't you think that you will enjoy your holiday so much more if you can share it with everyone?

Wow great news TAI!! This is the one with PointUI?Why is there no screenshots, so we can
see it before we try it...And just this morning i was hoping to put a new rom (because I was
using AT&T stripped cause i had some phone problems that turned out to be SIM card
problems) and I was wondering if you made this rom that we've been all eagerly waiting...I
am so eager to try this one for you...And I think I will do this later this day or maybe
tomorrow morning...Can you maybe give us some more info about ram usage and maybe
which panels (PointUI) it consists, maybe give us a clue on what were your improvements on this
Thanks a lot for making our Heremeses modern phones
So this one is Hero-like rom again??Well I told before that I just put PointUI on AT&T
stripped and the lowest ram value vas around 15MB...So i guess it's because AT&T stripped
is a 6.1 or 6.0 rom, and versions you are trying to build PointUI on are 6.5.3...I hope you
will manage to do something to make your rom fast and with a good ram size...Can't wait
for it...Anyways I will try this rom, because with this AT&T stripped i can't find some of the
settings that i need to change...And I hope if you could post some info on this rom so we
can know what to expect...I hope I am not to annoying about it
Thanks for your quick answer!!
Yeah... you and +QuePPC are the best chefs for Hermes... but I did not use your ROMs because they were all too heavy for me, with too many things cooked even in the lite versions. I see you removed Titanium in the new 28205. Is this version also generally cleaner and faster than the previous ones? This would make me try it out.
Wie ich sehe kannst du auch Deutsch, oder ?

KCNA Commentary Slams Stepped-up Moves for U.S.-Japan-S. Korea Military Alliance
|Pyongyang, February 14 (KCNA) -- The U.S., Japanese and south Korean military authorities in recent closed talks on Jeju Island called for "maintenance of close system for sharing information of the north" and "regular" talks, while talking about the "provocation" of someone.
This is part of the U.S. strategy toward Asia which envisages putting military pressure on the DPRK and containing powerful neighbors through the establishment of triangular military alliance.
The "information sharing" and "regular talks" aim tightened "tripartite cooperation", an expression of their stepped-up moves to form triangular alliance for aggression.
The joint operational scenario is already in place among the three parties and the military operation commanding system of armed forces has been coordinated. The operation of information sharing system would be ill-boding under this situation.
There is no doubt that its immediate target is the DPRK.
The U.S. seeks to ignite a war on the Korean Peninsula in a bid to realize its domination strategy toward Asia and Korea.
It has amassed armed forces for aggression in south Korea and its surrounding areas to launch military operation against the DPRK any moment and regularly staged military drills to round off the preparations for war.
The U.S. plan is to put the Asia-Pacific region under its control through the triangular military alliance. Japan is also mulling becoming the "leader" of Asia by taking advantage of the U.S. aggression Asia strategy.
The international community should heighten vigilance against the aggression forces' desperate moves in the Asia-Pacific region, a region drawing big attention of the world forces.

Mobile recycling could allow for upgrade to HTC handset
18 February 2010 — 6:00 PM
Consumers could be tempted to upgrade to a new handset from mobile manufacturer HTC and might find that mobile recycling allows them to get the cash to do so.
A recent report from IDS suggested that HTC was one of the most successful smartphone companies and the announcement of a new service aiming to enhance two of its models could be good for users.
Two new smartphones, the HTC Desire and the HTC Legend, will make use of HTC Sense, which promises to make handsets work in a more natural way by assisting people in the way in which people live and communicate.
Facebook, Flickr and Twitter are said to be "seamlessly" brought together through a new HTC application called Friend Stream, while individuals can be organised into groups such as family, friends and colleagues.
"HTC Legend and HTC Desire take Android to another level in both substance - with HTC Sense - and style, with HTC Legend's revolutionary crafted aluminum unibody design," said Peter Chou, chief executive officer of HTC Corporation.
Consumers will be able to get their hands on the HTC Desire on T-Mobile from March 26th, it has been revealed

Thanks Gamespot for the 30 second ads. I thought you were not going to implement advertisement when you got rid of paid subscriptions? Fail
@burnettaj Ok First of all this is a Trailer ANY trailer is Advertising. Secondly if GS had no ads it would not exist. How do you think they generate income?
@burnettaj Just open another website and check it out or watch TV sideways until the ad is done. At least that's how I perfectly handle it :D
People will always find SOMETHING to whine about, won't they? How about you start a website, and incur ALL the costs of maintaining a server and keeping the page current. Then find a way to do it without ANY income generated from the site. Think about it for a second. Kids in America these days are being led to believe that anybody who wants to profit off of anything is automatically greedy.
@MattyWoah It's ok Matty. You'll be alright. I promise it will be ok. Way to get that off your chest. Have a good day Matty :)

By SHEA STASKOWSKI

Starkville High School drama students are gearing up for the annual North Mississippi Regional Theatre Festival with a public performance tonight.
The 15-member cast will be performing the original play "The Purple Fan," which is a family-oriented, light-hearted Chinese folk comedy about a beggar boy who digs up a ghost and a purple fan. The findings lead to a series of hysterical events in an effort to find the lost prince of China.
"I like it because it's an original piece," said Mandy Kinney, SHS drama director. "Because it is a folk tale, we did have to do research on everything from how to pronounce a certain word to the proper color for fabrics for the time."
For the festival, which will be held in McComas Hall on Mississippi State's campus Friday, Dec. 3, Kinney works each year to bring a different type of story to the competition.
Last year, SHS students performed the show "Almost, Maine," which was comprised of several short vignettes centered around the theme of love. The year before that, the thespians performed a version of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," which is known for it's dark and eerie plot.
"We do lots of variety with our shows," sophomore Akane Little said. "'Almost, Maine' was a very realistic love story, and this year is an over-the-top comedy for children."
"Our diversity is what makes us so good," fellow sophomore Elizabeth Underwood added. "People can't really guess what we'll do (for the competition) because it's always so different."
Sometimes, that diversity results in nerves for Kinney.
"I'm always nervous because if we were competing with a sport, we'd all be doing the same thing, but how do you put something like ("The Purple Fan") up against Shakespeare?" Kinney asked. "But as long as it's executed well, I know they'll deliver."
Kinney is also experiencing nerves because this year's cast is made up almost entirely of underclassmen, which is a rare event for the accomplished drama department. "For a lot of these kids, this is the first time at festival," Kinney explained. "But they've been working so well together. They're like a well-oiled machine."
But regardless of the genre, the SHS's theatre troupe always walks away from the festival competition well-decorated with awards. Last year, "Almost, Maine" earned the group a superior play rating, peer's choice award, best supporting actor and actress, best main actress and a pass to the state competition.
SHS will be competing against 18 other theatre troupes from the north region of the state. The top five teams, as voted on by the judges, will advance to the state competition held in Meridian the weekend of Jan. 13, 2011. The group has a long history of getting passed to the state competition, but no actor in the group has ever been to the southeastern competition, which is the next step after the state level.
"It's a goal we've been working towards every year," Little explained of the southeastern competition.
"If we make it, we'll get to compete against community theaters, which would be the highlight of our high school acting careers," Underwood added.
In an effort to execute the best show possible during the competition, Kinney holds a public performance the week of the competition to help the cast work out any kinks in the system. "We want people here so we can get used to an audience," Little explained.In addition to having to impress the judged with their show and talent, the thespians must also adhere to strict festival guidelines. The entirety of the set, including props, must fit into a box small enough for the troupe to carry on and off stage together.
Each troupe will have exactly 45 minutes to walk on the stage with their box, unload the box, set the stage, perform the show, take down the set, put it back into the box and exit the stage. Since all props and stage sets must fit inside the box, Kinney experimented with a different form of set this year, which is made entirely of people.
"My favorite part is what we do with the set," sophomore Jack Bryan said. "There are always people on stage, but they aren't speaking. Some are being trees, one person is a boulder... It's really cool."
"They can expect a lot of laughs, and there are multiple morals," Little said.
"This type of theatre is new to audiences. It's something they haven't probably seen before," Underwood said. "I think with every character there is a moral to the story that audiences can look forward to."
The public performance will be held tonight at 7 p.m. at the SHS theater. Tickets are $5 to help offset the cost of performing in the competition.

FOR most of us, the paper-free office remains a myth. But now all our waste office paper can be turned economically into car fuel, say researchers at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
Lonnie Ingram and his colleagues at the university's department of microbiology and cell science turn the paper into ethanol by fermenting it with genetically engineered bacteria. Ethanol is added to petrol to make it burn more cleanly and efficiently, particularly in the US.
A process already exists for turning paper into ethanol using yeast, but the system also needs expensive enzymes, which make the process uneconomic. To produce one litre of ethanol, Ingram's system requires only 25 per cent of the enzymes consumed by the yeast-based system. He says that this saving is enough to make the bacterial conversion financially viable.
Ingram found the genes he needed in Zynomonas mobilis, a bacterium used for centuries by Mexican ...

1981 Chevrolet Corvette Specifications
The reenergized 350 was then mated to a stock replacement clutch, which spins the original BorgWarner T-10 four-speed and Dana 44 rear with 3.08 gears. Factory N90 aluminum wheels shod in BFGoodrich 255/60-15 rubber rounded out the package, making the Corvette ready for its first night out with its new owner.
"I just wanted to get to know the car, so I took some time before going on to the next stages," Gilby says. "During that time, I started taking it to car shows, which were always a few hours drive away. This gave me a chance to really enjoy the Corvette, both from a driving point of view as well as showing it."
After showing the Corvette for a year, Gilby decided his next step would be to upgrade the cabin accoutrements. Blakemores Automotive Upholstery implemented the yellow-and-gray seat motif using the original frames, but added lumbar supports and covered the thrones with velour, leather, and Corvette-logo stitching. "I wanted to be able to sit in the seats, not on them," Gilby says. "They're now very comfortable on a long drive."
One year later, new door panels were made to match the soft gray fabric of the seats. The steering wheel, meanwhile, was treated to a thicker circumference and stitched with flame motifs, and the speedometer was upgraded to a 165-mph unit, replacing the factory 85-mph piece.
Next, Gilby contacted Sound In Motion in Nambour to install a show-quality sound system. "George's brief when we first discussed the installation was `This is a show car, so thesystem has to look like it's part of the vehicle, not an add-on,'" owner Brian Bugenhagen says. "The key to the integration was the custom fiberglass panel, which houses the subwoofer enclosures [and is] loaded with JL Audio 10-inch speakers, an Alpine multi-channel amplifier, and rear-fill 4-inch speakers. The installation took approximately two weeks, including the dash speakers, the Alpine three-disc in-dashCD player,and the security system. We're very proud of the end results."
Gilby's most elaborate mods can't even be seen--that is, of course, until the hood is raised. The engine bay features a plethora of polished pieces, including billet underdrive pulleys; custom, stainless steel radiator-expansion and windshield-washer bottles; an aluminum radiator; a chrome power-steering pump; a ceramic-coated intake manifold; and much more, all further enhanced with carefully hidden electrical and vacuum wiring. The job took more than six years to accom-plish, but Gilby managed to minimize the car's downtime along the way. "The transformation was done progressively, as I did pieces when I could afford to," he explains.
With all that passion and pride invested in the car, it's no surprise that the results have been sizzling. Gilby has entered the Vette in the Australian National Corvette Convention four times and taken First Place in each outing (in 2001, 2003, 2006, and 2007). And if that's not enough to put this car among the world's most successful show Vettes, just take a look at some of its other awards below.
So what does the future hold for this Vette? Gilby says he's holding true to his motto that he's willing to modify anything on the car. Accordingly, he's already planned horsepower upgrades, a complete dash and instrument panel to reflect the curved lines of the exterior, a rack-and-pinion steering upgrade, a six-speed manual trans, new wheels, air vents for the hood, and even fuel injection.
In the meantime, he'll continue driving his Corvette to shows, and driving home with First Place awards. "It took until I was 38 years old to get my first Corvette, and I haven't stopped smiling since," Gilby says. "There's always a new and different idea forming about how to further personalize my car."

Festival : Music
Musical Summer in Roisin - Classical Music Festival
© Willy Decamps
- Opening periods
- Event planned for the month of August 2015
Dates and programme may be subject to change
- Event planned for the month of August 2015
- Address:
Eglise de Roisin
- MAPS: Google Maps
Discover this amazing event, described by the press as "a small festival of big music". In Roisin from 23 to 31/08/14!
Small because it takes place in a small church which can only hold 250 people and because of the small number of concerts each year.
Big because of the authenticity, friendliness and its unwillingness to compromise of the quality of the music.
Although early music has a special place in the programme, the desire for discovery is a fundamental criteria in the choice of music, and the repertoire always has some delightful surprises for the audience.
The programme continues to showcase the human voice and will let the listener travel to Italy, England, France and the south of Spain.
Support for Belgian artists also remains a major concern for the festival.
Don't delay! Unlike the enjoyment, seats are limited!
The Musical Summer in Roisin is organised by the F.A.R. (Foyer d'Animations de Roisin).
