Giving is better, so why bother?
In the Sutta Nipata, the Buddha says, "Happiness never decreases by being shared." The Qu'ran (3:92) declares, "Whatever you give to charity, God is fully aware thereof." And the New Testament (Acts 20:35) makes clear, "It's better to give than to receive." Extolling giving has become conventional wisdom and a moral touchstone around the world. No wonder we don't value receiving. Who wants to embrace the lesser part?
Even science seems to bear out this lesson. Jordan Grafman, a senior investigator specializing in cognitive neuroscience at the National Institutes of Health's National Institutes of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in Washington, D.C., led a team that monitored the brain activity of volunteers while they played computer games in which they could win cash rewards and donate the proceeds to charity. Both receiving money and giving it away increased levels of dopamine, a hormone related to feeling good. But giving away money caused more activity, and released oxytocin, another "feel good" hormone associated with emotional closeness. The prefrontal cortex, an area involved in moral reasoning, was also activated when giving included a sacrifice of one's own resources. The study led Grafman to conclude, "It definitely seems like you're going to get more pleasure, if these brain activations can be any guide, when you're giving than when you're simply receiving."
The study suggests that giving is hardwired into our brains, making us feel good about doing good. But does that mean it's really better than receiving?

The price of receiving
Many of us instinctively resist receiving because we sense the power dynamics involved, which reduce the receiver to the weaker position. We all know how it feels when someone gives us advice for "our sake" and we know it's to establish his or her own wisdom. We don't take the advice, because we don't want to confirm our inferiority. Harvard University Professor Ellen Langer puts such power dynamics to good use. "Receiving empowers the giver," she says. "That's why I advise parents to let their kids buy them gifts. When they receive them, it can make the children feel confident and good about themselves."
Such dynamics might be acceptable in relationships of love and trust, like between parents and children, but they can make us uneasy in other contexts. A friend of mine, Barbara, worked at an advertising firm for five years before she was laid off. She chose not to receive unemployment because of the stigma. She had grown up in an upper-middle-class family in New England that had strong Puritan roots. For her, as for anyone influenced by Puritan values, needing help carried the hidden implication that she hadn't worked hard enough. "Being on unemployment just made me feel like I had failed as an adult," she remembers. "I felt ashamed at needing help."
While shame at receiving government assistance might be less prevalent in European countries, where the social welfare system is generally accepted as every citizen's right, the stigma attached to needing help is often a major stumbling block to accepting what's given and putting it to good use. This is true in Western cultures, especially in the U.S., which so highly values achievement and earning that when Americans are given something unexpected or unearned they feel guilty.
Guilt is one way our conscience responds to situations in which we feel we don't deserve the good things that come to us. "Sudden wealth syndrome" is the name attributed to a group of symptoms—including guilt, anxiety, sleep disorders and fear of losing control—that can disturb those who win the lottery, inherit wealth or bring in huge rewards from financial investment. "People who inherit large sums of money often feel a disparity between who they are and what they are being given," says Stephen Goldbart, co-founder of the Money, Meaning and Choices Institute in California, which addresses the psychological opportunities and challenges that come with great wealth. "Guilt is a way to address the emotional impact of this gap."
Where does the guilt come from? "In the U.S., but also in tribal cultures, we have a basic belief system that we work for what we are given," Goldbart explains. "If we are suddenly given to, without work involved or the appropriate degree of work, then our sense of self, our values and our world view—including our ideas about fairness—are threatened." In these situations, Goldbart suggests it's helpful to have "a flexible sense of self and a flexible world view. You're just not going to be the same person afterward."
To receive, we might need to leave behind the safety net of a work-equals-reward mentality. But this requires acknowledging the existence of outside forces, and allowing for the possibility that we never had to deserve what we've "earned" in the first place. And if there's no deserving, it means some things, at least, are simply free.

This supercute teen visits us from Ohio, and has never done anything like this before! We interview her at a restaurant, then she flashes at the busy place... and strips down at a public office area and masturbates! Using her fingers, she is able to have a nice, natural orgasm. Notice those strong vaginal contractions, and how her toes curl up with pleasure! She starts feeling free and walking around totally naked out there... Then in a super sexy black dress & heels, she flashes us some more, and takes her panties off giving us upskirt views at a fancy fashion center! It may look like a fashion shoot to passersby, but you get to see a lot more! She then takes her heels off, plays in a water fountain, and runs butt naked everywhere! Finding a safer spot outdoors, she uses a vibrator for the first time in her life, and has another, stronger orgasm... and stronger vaginal reactions to the toy! Later, in a skin-tight blue dress, she finds another risky office area to sneak in, and play around with the red poles, dance a bit, and show off her flexibility. Off to a park, she's doing cartwheels, backstands and all sorts of acrobatics! Feeling free to get naked, she risks being nude to show off her skills and her sexy figure in her birthday suit. She even finds fruits to eat... Then some more fingering on a front porch of someone's house... she loves getting frisky outdoors! Back home, she tries fingering herself with 3 to 4 fingers, then tries taking on a big dildo, though she's too tight! Why not play with the vibraking toy, and it pushes her to her sexual limits, bringing her to one last super strong orgasm, that has some orgasmic 'aftershocks' to her vagina even after she's done. Some breast and butt massage action in the bedroom is next... Then a little dinner and sexy interview continues, with a finish poolside as we watch her tan in the nude. What a cute butt! She's a total First Time Video Girl, experiencing everything for the first time, and she's exclusive to FTV!
Miley has one of those spunky personalities that shows both in her photos and videos! Just 18, she has no problem with showing off her naked, naturally busty figure. Stripping down in the bedroom, she plays with herself, as flexible as she is, fingering her juicy vagina. Then, with the help of a glass vibrator, she masturbates hard and deep. Notice how juicy she is inside! Using a hairbrush handle, she penetrates herself further, and causes milky juice to rush out. Trying some cute outfits, she gives herself a hard breast massage (notice how firm and perfect they are!). Out in the extreme heat, she strips and runs topless, then takes everything off and fists herself right there in the public office building hallway! She fists hard & deep, surprising even herself. To cool off, she goes to the office area courtyard, compeletely naked and splashing everywhere! No fear of getting caught... Having lunch, the interview is topless, and she gets caught by the server. Out at a park, she does some nude cartwheels, she just loves being nude outdoors. Back home, she stuffs herself with a large cucumber, going as deep as she can in several positions. Then in her cutest dress & heels, she rides the FTV Monster toy, look how big it is! Finishing herself off with more hard, deep and fast fisting. What a way to start her First Time Experience in adult!
This tall, leggy and sexy blonde is wearing a colorful summer outfit, walking around an office area... We get views up her skirt, and she gets comfortable right in front of the office area, spreading and fingering! Exposing her breasts, they're full, firm with perky nipples and we see that mischievous smile... She's going to get frisky! Pulling out her favorite rabbit vibrator, she masturbates with such intensity to orgasm, right out in the open (a bench in front of the office complex!). Notice her full, firm & sexy butt too btw. Then off to a medical office building, she gets even more daring, taking her dress off, walking naked through the hallways, while some employees are in the background! Finding comfort (all naked) in front of a dental office, she settles down and masturbates again, rolling around the ground for a strong toe curling orgasm. No fear whatsoever! Later in the (very hot) day, she's posing next to an airstream trailer, then goes inside and fucks herself hard with a large lifelike dildo. We get to see her fun-loving personality indoors, and then she attempts to penetrate herself with the largest thing she's ever used -- the FTV Monster! It takes some practice, but soon enough she's got 3/4 of the toy deep inside of her! She rides it hard, until she can't do it anymore. Pretty hot... Back out of the extreme heat, she gives her breasts & butt a nice hard massage, then finishes off with her feet. She experiments with the vibraking, then gives us some extreme closeups of her private parts. A total toy adventure in this 100 degree sunny day!
This gorgeous girl with the perfect slim figure and full, round natural breasts is a total first timer trying all sorts of new and sexy things for FTV! We watch her down an open mall where she flashes her breasts, and gives us upskirt views, then fingers herself in the seating areas right there! Cooling down at an ice cream store, she flashes some more... Then finding a set of stairs nearby she masturbates with a vibrator to a nice, natural orgasm. Then walking the open hallways, she strips completely naked and walks around in this public place! Then she takes the heels off too, and walks barefoot & naked and gives herself a nice hard breast massage. Later in the day, she's wearing a white dress, fingers herself, strips naked runs after geese, and through a golf course area! She settles down to play with a banana, stuffing it into her very petite private place. On the next day, she's in the sexiest dress & heels, showing off her super sexy curves, but soon enough the panties come off, and she's using her fingers to another orgasm! And that all right in a beautiful, fancy resort! Not having enough, she plays in the water fountain, and then does something very kinky... using her shoe heel like a toy, penetrating it deep! Back home, she gives her breasts another hard massage with cream, shows off her pretty petite feet, and then uses the Vibraking. The result is an amazingly strong orgasm, with strong vaginal contractions throughout to a very strong response on climax. Enjoy this Total First Time Video Girl, she's exclusive to FTV!
Alison's Nightmare: Halloween Short Movie Bonus A Scary & Creepy movie short made for AlisonAngel.com, now also here for you on FTV. As Alison states: It was actually kinda scary to make it, so I cant imagine how scary it will be! I really love to act, and when I am on camera in other chapters I don't get to because I just love to be myself. But this was my chance to feel like a real actress. This is freaky, this is horrifying and if you have a weak stomach you shouldn't watch this video. It all started on a dark night when I was home alone, getting ready for bed. Sleeping that night was hard, but you will just have to hang on to the edge of your seat to find out why, and to see if I survive my night alone! Muahahahah!
FTV's Tenth Hardcore Update: One bonus update at the end of every Month. Total First Timer FTV Exclusive Kate's situation is an interesting one -- she loves women and is pretty much a full lesbian -- but wanted to try guys for a change. What an adventure! First meeting up at the beach, we see how cute she is, and how perfectly sexy her body is (awesome breasts!). So she is set up with a random guy at the beach, and giving him a blowjob, but he has a hard time staying hard... and gets nervous and takes off! So another day the week later, she meets up with another guy, a young 'nerdy' guy. She gives him a blowjob, rides him, and he ejaculates prematurely?? So another month goes by, and she's looking for men again... this time its two guys! She blows them both, then take turns having sex with her... even anal sex! Perhaps she is satisfied now... finally. It was one crazy 3 day project!
One of the sexiest girls of FTV returns after 3 years, and looks just as hot as before... and more athletic as well! She loves showing off her sexy body in public, so we re-introduce her out at an office area, her flashing her goods and running completely naked on a very busy street! She flashes at the airport as well... Undressing for us and trying out several sexy outfits, we get to see her spunky personality while she talks about her personal life. She gets to masturbating in front of the mirror, while two angles record her using her fingers to a strong orgasm (with visible orgasmic contractions). She genuinely loves to masturbate, and the intensity of the pleasure she derives from it really shows. Revisiting her extreme, she deep fists herself from several sexy angles, so hot for such a petite and sexy girl! Later, out at a mall area, she gets frisky again, showing off that firm, perfect butt and walks around flashing in a very sexy dress & heels. Going to a restaurant, she isn't shy about flashing again, and then masturbates at the mall area with her fingers to another, even stronger orgasm! A second camera records the action from a distance, in a 'voyeur' style. Back home, she gives her body a nice breast, butt, and foot massage, then lets us see some extreme closeups of her private parts. Going kinky and extreme again, she takes two cucumbers, stuffs them deep (both go almost missing inside!) and then stuffs one deep anally, and one vaginally. Total double penetration! Showing us her naturally athletic form, she does yoga for us, slowly stripping down until its all done in the nude. As she likes it, she starts rubbing herself again, and has one final, strong orgasm. She looks so hot doing it, because you can see how much she enjoys the experience. Enjoy this FTV favorite on another total sexual adventure!
She's a hot, sexy secretary, walking to the office with a package... but nobody seems to be around. So why not take her top off in this hot, sunny day? Those breasts are perfect, firm naturals, and she does enjoy squeezing them hard. Then settling down right in front of the office entryway, she takes her panties off, and begins to rub herself with her fingers... that is until someone takes notice of her activities. Moving to another office complex, she gets comfortable on the stairs, and uses a vibrator to masturbate right there! Then getting even more risque -- she takes off all her clothes, and walks naked through the office area, with only her heels on! She looks really sexy out in the open, nude and exposed... Then taking her heels off, there's a bit of foot fetish play, and extreme closeups of her private parts. Back home, she's in black lingerie, and tries out the vibraking toy.
She's one of those dream girls that look straight out of Japanese Anime -- except this girl is half Korean and half Caucasian. Blessed with big beautiful eyes, and the sexiest, firmest figure (just look at those firm round breasts and perfect butt!) she's a perfect cutie for FTV. We see her driving her 350Z topless (!) and then goes completely naked and runs around an office area. Back home, she masturbates with her fingers and comes to a nice orgasm -- and wants to do it again! She then puts on a very sexy black dress & heels, masturbating in a beautiful resort (with a vibrator), then getting caught by security... she still walks on the street completely naked! Finding another public place, she puts on a summer dress and masturbates one more time with another vibrator. She has never used a vibrator in her life, so it was a new and incredible experience for her. Notice the vaginal 'responses' to such new toy experiences. Then she flashes at a restaurant, and at a grocery store, she loves risking it! On the next day, she's wearing a sporty outfit, and shows off her flexibility, then does some incredible cartwheels and tumblers! All this on a regular street and completely naked! Back home, she tries out a rather large summer squash, and manages to get most of it in (and she is very tight!). The squash literally gets stuck inside... Then with a banana acting like a g-spot toy along with a vibrator, she has another strong orgasm!!! After a nice hard breast & butt massage, she attempts one last orgasm, this time with the Vibraking... and has one of the strongest in her life. Then in a hot secretary outfit and her eyeglasses, she ends up near-fisting, surprising us all! She's a Total First Timer, and you'll only see her here, on FTV :)
Contributor Shoot. Both FTV first timers, and residents of Phoenix, Arizona -- they are shot mostly on location, flashing and showing off their cute bodies. Samantha is a stunning blue-eyed brunette who has that sultry look... She flashed around college town, then goes indoors to masturbate with a vibrator and a larger dildo. She is very tight though... Bobbi is a skinny blonde who starts by flashing roadside and fingering herself outside, then going indoors to ride a large dildo, penetrating herself deep. A combination update, two separate updates in one.
Recently turned 18, she is about to enter college, and is having her first time adult experience here on video... We watch her walk down a busy college street, looking very leggy and sexy. She isn't shy at all, and flashes her breasts right there, then takes the public nudity further and rubs her private parts, exposing them! Going to her dorm room, she takes her shirt off in the hallway, then gets all naked at her place. While her dorm roommates are watching TV, she goes to the balcony and fingers herself. She starts masturbating with her fingers hard and fast, and has an orgasm there out in the open! She then goes to her bedroom and teases us with extreme closeups, foot play, and trying on a cute bedside outfit. Then, using a vibrator for the first time in her life, she has a rather strong orgasm, but continues to masturbate, because she likes it so much! The next day, we meet at a restaurant, and she goes all out flashing, and playing with herself in this open, public place! Then in a gorgeous dress & heels, she walks down a resort, stripping down, giving her breasts a hard massage and spreading for us. Finding a banana, she penetrates herself deep, and tries riding it. Going home, she's wearing her glasses again, and wearing a cute white dress. Trying the vibraking, she ends up having some of the strongest orgasms of her life, with some very strong vaginal responses! She gets so wet, that she tries putting in 3, 4, then five fingers... so why not try fisting! And she does, fisting herself hard, and nearly getting off from it. Going even more kinky, she stuffs as many as 4 fingers in her butt, then double penetrates herself with two large toys, pushing her limits to the max! It was an incredible FTV adventure for her, a total first time experience, and it turned rather extreme for such a petite 18 year old!
Been in the US for only a year, Colombian hottie Valerie comes to shoot for FTV, and she's got such a sexy figure! She arrives with a suitcase full of clothes, and talks to us (in somewhat broken english) about herself, and what she likes to wear. Stripping down, she goes straight to masturbating, and uses a vibrator to come to a nice, strong orgasm with strong vaginal contractions. Out at a strip mall, she's giggling and having fun flashing her breasts, and being seen by passers-by... we love those perfect round breasts! She then dares herself by taking everything off and running around the parking area! Not having enough of the outdoor & public stuff, we watch her walking down a neighborhood street, in just lingerie and heels... while getting the attention of a guy on a motorcycle, she strips for him on the street, and he drives off with her underwear! Quite random and unexpected. Wearing a unique 'sailor girl' outfit, she poses and plays with herself on a rather large powerboat, and poses sexy next to Hummer H1. Then going to masturbate, she uses another vibrator on the patio area to get herself off. Time to get athletic... going to a volleyball court, she plays a little nude volleyball, and even has a run-in with FTV's Trisha and plays with her a bit too. To cool down, she takes an outdoor shower (with a sensual breast and butt massage), and then fingers herself poolside. As the sun is setting, she walks around the pretty property in a gorgeous flower dress, and we get a bit more of her sexy body as we follow her. Going to the office, she finds the vibraking toy, and masturbates with it, having the strongest orgasm of the day! Enjoy this slim, sporty, and very sexy girl!
FTV's Ninth Hardcore Update: One bonus update at the end of every Month. Riley was a total first timer back when she shot for FTV in 2008 -- 6 months after her shoot she decided to enter the adult world, cut her hair shorter (we liked it long!) and try boy/girl action. So we brought her back to do boy/girl for FTV, and see how she enjoys sex for real. She ends up having sex with Steve, shooting on location and at his bachelor pad.
This sassy & gorgeous blonde is spotted walking at a busy mall, wearing a cute blue dress & doing some shopping. Soon enough she's flashing her breasts, and giving us upskirt shots! We follow her back to her place, and watch her play with herself in the kitchen. She then fingers herself hard and deep, and gives us extreme closeups of her private parts. She's pulling & stretching her labia, and spreading wide, for us to see deep... She then pulls out her white vibrator, and masturbates to an orgasm. Taking all her clothes off, she shows off her naked form and washes her feet. A little foot fetish later, its more about that firm butt of hers, and how she plays with it. She ends up fingering herself on the bed, and pushing two fingers in anally... Putting on a white bikini, she goes teases some guys at the apartment complex pool, getting even friskier by playing with herself right there! Ending up with another orgasm, she is quite satisfied. Later, at the FTV house, she puts on a very sexy dress & heels, and tries riding the glass FTV Toy. Its a little too big for her, but we get some nice closeups of the penetration. Pushing her limits, she takes a very long vibrator and sees how deep she can go with it, then takes it a step further and double penetrates herself with two vibrators, going anally deep as well! Then to finish herself off, she tries out the Vibraking toy, and ends up with two strong orgasms, and some unique (& noisy!) vaginal contractions. Victoria is a truly sexy doll whom we'd all wish we could have...
One of the cutest girls you've ever seen, she's visiting from Tennessee, and truly is that Southern Belle you've always dreamed of. Meeting her at a resort mall, we take her out to lunch, and realize she isn't wearing any panties! Peeking up her skirt in this public place, she then gives us a tour of the resort she is staying at. More frisky, more explicit as it goes, she then undresses for us and tries on some lingerie. She ends up masturbating on the dresser table with her fingers... twice! We discover how much she loves to masturbate, so she does it again on the resorts' recreation area all while employees are at work! Notice the orgasmic contractions... More upskirt and flashing, and playing in water fountains, chasing geese, all in the cutest yellow dress & pink heels. From a conservative background she's never tried toys before, and experiences her first strong orgasm with a clitoral vibrator! Then she tries the rabbit toy, for another, stronger orgasm! We get some extreme closeups of her private parts, stretching and playing with her labia... then attempting to fist! She gets all her fingers in! Then she gets a hard breast and butt massage from her boyfriend, and a little foot fetish too. She has one of the nicest 'booty' you've ever seen. Later in the day, she's wearing a sexy black dress & heels, flashing some more at this resort, and finding a rather exposed area to masturbate again! Another strong orgasm, right in the open! Later that night, she discovers the Long Pink Toy, and sees how deep she can go, then has her boyfriend pound her doggy style hard and fast... to one last, strong climax. Enjoy this Total First Time Video Girl, one of the cutest and only on FTV!
From the moment the camera starts rolling, she starts taking her clothes off! Even right in the middle of a mall and office area! Surprising the photographer, she doesn't keep her dress on for long! So she's in the nude, in this public place, showing off that perfect butt of hers, and fingering herself! Of course, she catches the attention of a few angry people, so we move on to another location. The clothes don't stay on for long (again) and she's sitting at the steps of an office finger-banging herself! Back home, she tries the rabbit toy, and has several toe curling orgasms. In fact, the last orgasm gives her a 'charlie horse' cramp in her foot! So while she is massaging her foot, we get some unexpected foot fetish action. The talk goes from butt to anal, and since she fingered herself anally while masturbating, why not try a toy? A wand-like toy then enters her butt, and she pushes it as deep as it can go, going real deep (6 inches long!). She surprises even herself. Then in the cutest red dress & heels, she plays with her breasts & butt, then gives us some extreme gaping closeups of her pretty private parts. She plays with the vibraking toy and also goes for a larger clear dildo, hard-fucking herself with it until she is sore. By the end of the day she's out at a golf course, and goes naked running around in the grass... She's a total first timer, experiencing all this only on FTV!
Brea is the kind of FTV girl all fans look forward to -- She's gorgeous, sexy, perfect breasts & butt, and willing to try anything! We first see her in a sexy dress & heels (notice how leggy she is!) and she exposes those perfect round naturals, squeezing them really hard! The panties eventually drop, and she shows off her butt, and this all happens at a fancy resort! The risk involved here is great... and makes it even riskier when she gets completely naked, walks around the hallways, shows off the perfect body, then masturbates! She uses a vibrator to orgasm, then gives us extreme closeup gaping views and closeups of her clitoris right there at the resort. Visiting another popular & beautiful resort, she is spotted by security, but he is actually friendly... she strips naked and puts on another cute outfit. Then off to a busy street, she plays in a water fountain, then walks completely naked once again! Finally back home, she starts stuffing fingers, and attempts to fist. She eventually manages to fist herself (oh my!) in the pink room. After a lunch break and a topless car ride, she puts on a very sexy 'bad girl' outfit with miniskirt & heels, and proceeds to a medical office center, and goes topless once again. Risking it further, she starts masturbating with a vibrator! This time we weren't as lucky and got found out, and had to leave in a hurry! Off to another medical office across the street, she enters the main hallway and strips down completely naked... then fingers herself, and uses a banana like a toy! Right there in the middle of the hallway! Before we get into trouble, we take off home to a comfy bed where she uses the vibraking toy. Watch her vagina up close as she reacts to the toy and has another orgasm. Then she decides to ride the bedpost just for the heck of it! Afterwards she gives a sexy breast & butt massage in her own unique way. What next? Try the biggest toy we have, the FTV Monster! Its bigger than her arm... and she gets it halfway in her. A truly adventurous shoot, going all out for this totally hot update. Oh yeah, she reminds us of the actress Milla Jovovich, don't you think?
Daphne is a cute teen, and really shy about her total first time experience. She starts by wearing a white heart nightie and warms up with an interview and a little striptease. Notice how nervous she is... though once she has her first orgasm she is a lot more relaxed! Going to the pink room, she spreads for us, then uses a vibrator to tease herself. Eventually reaching orgasm, she's full of giggles and funny expressions. Trying on a few other cute dresses & heels, she gets more 'sophisticated' with the black combination. She shows off a vibrator of her own, and proceeds to use it on the stairs to masturbate a second time. A little breast & butt play as well. Totally shy, but totally cute, and only seen here, on FTV.
She's a total stunner when you see her approach, and she's only 18 years old! Never done nudes or any adult before, this total First Time Video girl loves to have fun! From the very start she flashes everywhere she goes, and eventually is all out naked in this public place! Trying to masturbate on the steps, she gets caught, and so goes flashing at a gas station, then plays with herself in the car... We realize that she likes having all her clothes off and showing off her perfect breasts & butt. She does a sexy nude dance to one of her favorite songs, then uses a vibrator (for the first time in her life!) to have a nice, natural orgasm. Notice how wet she gets (milky wet). After a lunch, she's at a sporting goods store looking for roller blades, and ends up trying them on topless! More daring activity continues as she goes rollerblading by the canal, and gets seen by passersby rubbing herself right there! She then masturbates with a vibrator, and does some nude rollerblading... Later that evening, she plays around in a water sprinkler in the grass, giving herself a hard breast & butt massage. She's then off to the shower where she fingers herself some more, masturbating in various sexy positions. On a second day, she returns to visit an ongoing convention at a resort. She seems dressed nice, looking like a hottie amongst so many men. Little do they know she's planning to flash and get naked right there! Starting from the hotel lobby, to the poolside area, and around the elevators, she's flashing, fingering herself, even using a toy, all while people have unique reactions to her spunky and fun attitude! Only twice did we get into trouble, which isn't bad for the level of public nudity we ended up doing on this crazy shoot. She just turned 18, and she wants to come back for more... You will only see her here, on FTV!
Still a teen, she's a petite cutie who has been doing cheerleading for 10 years and loves to show off her flexibility! We watch her strip down and put on some long black socks, then stretch and move into some very flexible positions. She's also quite 'flexible' down there, stretching her very long labia for us, playing with them, and gaping her vagina. We watch her finger herself, then use a vibrator to an orgasm. She does get milky wet inside, so she spreads some more for some extreme closeups... In a sexy black dress and purple heels, we get upskirt teases, then some hot butt views of her sexy bubble butt. She penetrates herself anally, by using a glass toy, and we see it up close and 'in your face'. Turning herself on, she experiments with the Vibraking toy, masturbating in a sexy way to a strong orgasm. At a restaurant, she wears a beautiful long red dress, flashes some, then strips down at the garage, showing off her long labia again (stretching and pulling them). Then she brings us a very large cucumber, and penetrates herself really deep! Riding it hard, she uses a vibrator to help bring herself to another orgasm (while the cucumber is deep inside her). Then in pigtails, she visits the pink room, takes her panties, stuffs them deep, then uses a large pink dildo to stuff them even deeper! She rides the dildo deep while the panties are in her, then slowly pulls them out for us to see!

Publisher's Description
In this groundbreaking and insightful new commentary, one of the world's leading biblical scholars unveils the unity and continuity of the Torah for the modern reader. Richard Elliott Friedman, the bestselling author of Who Wrote the Bible?, integrates the most recent discoveries in biblical archaeology and research with the fruits of years of experience studying and teaching the Bible to illuminate the straightforward meaning of the text -- "to shed new light on the Torah and, more important, to open windows through which it sheds its light on us."
While other commentaries are generally collections of comments by a number of scholars, this is a unified commentary on the Torah by a single scholar, the most unified by a Jewish scholar in centuries. It includes the original Hebrew text, a new translation, and an authoritative, accessibly written interpretation and analysis of each passage that remains focused on the meaning of the Torah as a whole, showing how its separate books are united into one cohesive, all-encompassing sacred literary masterpiece. This landmark work is destined to take its place as a classic in the libraries of lay readers and scholars alike, as we seek to understand the significance of the scriptural texts for our lives today, and for years to come.
Author Bio
Richard Elliott Friedman is professor of Hebrew and Comparative Literature and holds the Katzin Chair at the University of California, San Diego. One of the premier biblical scholars in the country, he received his doctorate at Harvard and was a visiting fellow at Oxford and Cambridge. Author of The Hidden Face of God, The Hidden Book in the Bible, Commentary on the Torah, The Exile and Biblical Narrative, and the bestselling Who Wrote the Bible?, Friedman is also the president of the Biblical Colloquium West. A consultant to universities, journals, encyclopedias, and publishers, he is also the editor of four books on biblical studies and has authored over fifty articles, reviews, and notes in scholarly and popular publications.

No student of the Old Testament, or entire Bible for that matter, should not have this book missing from their library. It is more than just a commentary. It is a work of art.

Toronto: Top Five Flicks to Catch at Blood in the Snow 2013
The second year of fledgling Canadian horror film festival BLOOD IN THE SNOW is upon us, running from Friday November 29th – December 1st in Toronto at the legendary Carlton Cinemas, nestled beside the now dormant Maple Leaf Gardens. The event is co-sponsored by FANGORIA, Anchor Bay Canada and endorsed by the Toronto International Film Festival. Within, there are plenty of diverse indie Northern fright features (and a cavalcade of dynamic shorts) to choose from in the lineup, but we've whittled the long list down to five of our favorites.Read more »

Seem to have a problem with PHP system command - I place a command with it and if return code is above 0 - I cite failure otherwise I carry on.
It never seems to return on FFMPEG commands lower than a certain number of seconds (generally 3-5 seconds duration video encodes that are very quick to encode). Is this something that'd be from FFMPEG not returning properly or system command?
An example command:-
system('ffmpeg -i /home/test.wmv -f flv 340x160 -vcodec libx264 export.flv', $returnCode);
if($returnCode > 0) { error(); }
The only way to get round this seems to be to run a timer and check log files if nothing back after an amount of time but if anyone has any pointers - be gratefully received.

News articles on apes
Mongabay.com news articles on apes in blog format. Updated regularly.
Orangutan populations collapse in pristine forest areas
(08/12/2010) Orangutan encounter rates have fallen six-fold in Borneo over the past 150 years, report researchers writing in the journal PLoS One. Erik Meijaard, an ecologist with People and Nature Consulting International, and colleagues compared present-day encounter rates with collection rates from naturalists working in the mid-19th Century. They found orangutans are much rarer today even in pristine forest areas. The results suggest hunting is taking a toll on orangutan populations.
Camp merges technology and conservation for local students
(08/03/2010) From July 23-25, Taiwanese undergraduates held a camp in Bukit Lawang, Sumatra, that taught local high school students to use technology as a conservation tool. The Taiwanese volunteers aimed to help local people in this popular rainforest tourism destination to use the Internet to research and promote sustainable tourism practices. The high school students, who had no formal training in using the Internet, learned to use email, produce a blog, conduct research, and use GPS devices to create a map of part of the local trail system.
Scientists condemn current development plan in Kalimantan
(08/02/2010) Scientists with the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC) have released a resolution opposing the current development plan for a road and bridge crossing Balikpapan Bay in the Indonesian state of Kalimantan. The resolution states that the plan threatens not only the fragile ecosystems within the bay, but of the nearby mangroves as well as the Sungai Wain forest and its watershed, vital for local industry and people. According to ATBC, the plan could be easily remedied by officials picking an alternate route, which is also favored by locals since it would be 80 kilometers shorter.
Indonesian people-not international donors or orangutan conservationists-will determine the ultimate fate of Indonesia's forests
(07/29/2010) Many of the environmental issues facing Indonesia are embodied in the plight of the orangutan, the red ape that inhabits the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. Orangutan populations have plummeted over the past century, a result of hunting, habitat loss, the pet trade, and human-ape conflict. Accordingly, governments, charities, and concerned individuals have ploughed tens of millions of dollars into orangutan conservation, but have little to show in terms of slowing or reversing the decline. The same can be said about forest conservation in Indonesia: while massive amounts of money have been put toward protecting and sustainable using forests, the sum is dwarfed by the returns from converting forests into timber, rice, paper, and palm oil. So orangutans—and forests—continue to lose out to economic development, at least as conventionally pursued. Poor governance means that even when well-intentioned measures are in place, they are often undermined by corruption, apathy, or poorly-designed policies. So is there a future for Indonesia's red apes and their forest home? Erik Meijaard, an ecologist who has worked in Indonesia since 1993 and is considered a world authority on orangutan populations, is cautiously optimistic, although he sees no 'silver bullet' solutions.
Captive orangutans: enriching bodies, minds, and lives
(07/22/2010) Visitors to the Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine (OCCQ) are always delighted by the sight of playful young orangutans. Hairy orange youngsters swinging through the branches or tossing balls around always induce fits of cooing and camera clicking. These activities appear to be so natural that it is easy to forget these are orphans in rehabilitation school and one of the main classes is Enrichment. The term enrichment has become a catchword in the world of captive animal husbandry in the past few years and for many organizations, enrichment has become a new focus as more and more research reveals how critical enrichment is to the physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing of captive animals.
Forest loss occurring around Kibale National Park in Uganda
(06/28/2010) A new study in Tropical Conservation Science finds that Kibale National Park in Uganda has retained its tropical forest despite pressures of a dense human population and large-scale clearing activities just beyond the border of the park. Home to twelve primate species, including Chimpanzees, the park is known as a safe-haven for African primates.
New plan to save the chimpanzee from extinction
(06/21/2010) Humankind's closest relative, the chimpanzee, is classified as Endangered by the IUCN Red List. Threatened by habitat and forest loss, hunting for bushmeat, trafficking for the illegal pet trade, mining, and disease, the species remains in a precarious position. Yet a new 10-year-plan with East and Central African hopes to ensure the chimpanzee's (Pan troglodytes) survival. The plan, which focuses on one subspecies of four, the eastern chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii), pushes for the conservation of 16 core areas that would protect 96 percent of the eastern chimpanzee population.
Wildlife-rich river threatened by sand-dredging in Borneo
(06/15/2010) The Kinabatangan River in Malaysian Borneo is home to a fabulous wealth of species, including orangutans, proboscis monkeys, and a sizeable population of the world's smallest elephant, the Borneo pygmy elephant. While local politicians have stated numerous times that the ecology of the river will be protected, locals are reporting a number of legally sanctioned sang dredging operations on the river. Dredging can affect river flows, negatively impact wildlife, and release toxins from the sediments.
Protected areas vital for saving elephants, chimps, and gorillas in the Congo
(05/10/2010) In a landscape-wide study in the Congo, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) found that core protected areas and strong anti-poaching efforts are necessary to maintain viable populations of forest elephants, western lowland gorillas, and chimpanzees—all of which are threatened with extinction.
Farming snails to save the world's rarest gorillas
(04/28/2010) In a place of poverty and hunger, how do you save a species on the edge of extinction? A difficult question that conservationists have long-been working to tackle, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) has come up with a new plan to protect the world's most endangered gorilla, the Cross River gorilla, from poachers by providing locals with an alternate and better income from farming snails.
Jane Goodall renews her faith in nature and humanity during the "Gombe 50" anniversary, An interview with Dr. Jane Goodall
(04/12/2010) 2010 marks a monumental milestone for the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) and its founder, Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE. Fifty years ago, Goodall, who is today a world-renowned global conservation leader, first set foot on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, in what is now Tanzania's Gombe National Park. The chimpanzee behavioral research she pioneered at Gombe has produced a wealth of scientific discovery, and her vision has expanded into a global mission 'to empower people to make a difference for all living things.' Time, however, has not stood still for Gombe. The wild chimps of the area have suffered as the local human population has swelled. Gombe National Park is now a forest fragment, a 35-square-kilometer island of habitat isolated in a sea of subsistence farming. Because the problems facing Gombe—unsustainable land practices, overpopulation, and a cycle of poverty—are typical of many other areas, lessons learned by Dr. Goodall and her team provide valuable insights for solutions at Gombe and beyond.
Hope for survival as isolated orangutans joined by rope bridge
(04/11/2010) Researchers in the Malaysian state of Sabah in Borneo are joyful after receiving confirmation that a young male orangutan used a rope bridge to cross a river, which has separated one orangutan population from another. Due to logging and clearing forests for oil palm plantations, which cover 18 percent of land in Sabah, orangutans on the Kinabantangan River have been cut into fragmented populations.
Guerrillas could drive gorillas toward extinction in Congo, warns UN
(03/25/2010) Gorillas may disappear across much of the Congo Basin by the mid 2020s unless action is taken to protect against poaching and habitat destruction, warns a new report issued by United Nations and INTERPOL.
Orangutans use calls for a variety of reasons
(03/10/2010) Mature male orangutans produce what scientists call 'long calls', which can be heard for one kilometer in all directions even in dense forests. New research in Ethology has uncovered that these calls are employed for a number of reasons and provide information about who is calling and why.
Why we are failing orangutans
(03/01/2010) It is no secret that orangutans are threatened with extinction because their rain forests are being destroyed at an alarming rate. Ten years ago, Shawn Thompson, a writer, former journalist and university professor, set out to chronicle the threat to orangutans in a book released in March 2010. The book is called The Intimate Ape: Orangutans and the Secret Life of a Vanishing Species. The book spends most of the time talking about the nature of orangutans and the relationships between orangutans and people. But the ultimate underlying message is there about the source of the peril to orangutans and the solution. Thompson says that the problem of saving orangutans has to do with communications and human nature.
Humans push half of the world's primates toward extinction, lemurs in particular trouble
(02/18/2010) Of the known 634 primate species in the world 48 percent are currently threatened with extinction, making mankind's closes relatives one of the most endangered animal groups in the world. In order to bring awareness to the desperate state of primates, a new report by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature highlights twenty-five primates in the most need of rapid conservation action. Compiled by 85 experts the report, entitled Primates in Peril: The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates, 2008–2010, includes six primates from Africa, eleven from Asia, three from Central and South America, and five from the island of Madagascar.
Orangutans vs palm oil in Malaysia: setting the record straight
(01/16/2010) The Malaysian palm oil industry has been broadly accused of contributing to the dramatic decline in orangutan populations in Sabah, a state in northern Borneo, over the past 30 years. The industry has staunchly denied these charges and responded with marketing campaigns claiming the opposite: that oil palm plantations can support and nourish the great red apes. The issue came to a head last October at the Orangutan Colloquium held in Kota Kinabalu. There, confronted by orangutan biologists, the palm oil industry pledged to support restoring forest corridors along rivers in order to help facilitate movement of orangutans between remaining forest reserves across seas of oil palm plantations. Attending NGOs agreed that they would need to work with industry to find a balance that would allow the ongoing survival of orangutans in the wild. Nevertheless the conference was still marked by much of the same rhetoric that has characterized most of these meetings — chief palm oil industry officials again made dubious claims about the environmental stewardship of the industry. However this time there was at least acknowledgment that palm oil needs to play an active role in conservation.
World's rarest gorilla caught on film
(12/16/2009) The first ever professional footage of the world's rarest gorilla, the Cross River gorilla ( Gorilla gorilla diehli), has been shot deep in the forested mountains of Cameroon. The only other existing footage of this Critically Endangered subspecies was taken from far away by a field researcher in 2005.
African children on 'gorilla warfare' mission in run-up to COP15
(12/06/2009) "It's the gorillas I've got to thank for bringing me here," said Sephora Binet-Mboti, (13), as she gazed up, wide-eyed, at the Eiffel Tower in Paris. She was a long way from her in home in Central Africa where she lives in Gabon at subsistence level in a clapboard house with her parents and nine brothers and sisters. Sephora had never traveled as far as the capital of Gabon, let alone to the developed world, but on Thursday (3rd December) she boarded a plane for an all-expenses-paid dream week in Paris, the city of lights.
Hyenas cooperate more easily than chimpanzees
(12/06/2009) Spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) could show chimpanzees a thing or two about working together, according to a new study. Hyenas, prodigious hunters, pull down prey together. Christine M. Drea, an associate professor in the department of Evolutionary Biology at Duke University, started to ask questions about the cooperative hunting habits of hyenas while she was reading The Spotted Hyena: A Study of Predation and Social Behavior by Hanz Kruuk.
Transmitters implanted in orangutans for tracking after release into the wild
(11/23/2009) For the first time transmitters have been implanted in orangutans to track their daily movements. The Sabah Wildlife Department (SWD) has implanted transmitters into three orangutans that have been released back into the wild from Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Center in the Malaysian state of Sabah on the island of Borneo.
Disney commits $4 million to rainforest conservation in the Amazon, Congo
(11/03/2009) The Walt Disney Company will invest $7 million in forest conservation projects in the U.S., the Congo Basin, and the Amazon in an effort to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
"Money is not a problem," palm oil CEO tells conservationists during speech defending the industry
(10/26/2009) Earlier this month at a colloquium to implement wildlife corridors for orangutans in the Malaysian state of Sabah, Dr. Yusof Basiron, the CEO of Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC), told conservationists and primate experts that the palm oil industry was ready to fund reforestation efforts in the corridors. "We can raise the money to replant [the corridors] and keep contributing as a subsidy in the replanting process of this corridor for connecting forests," Basiron said in response to a question on how the palm oil industry will contribute. "Money is not a problem. The commitment is already there, the pressure is already very strong for this to be done, so it's just trying to get the thing into motion."
Emotional call for palm oil industry to address environmental problems
(10/21/2009) During what was at times an emotional speech, Sabah's Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Environment, Datuk Masidi Manjun, called on the palm oil industry to stop polluting rivers and work with NGOs to save orangutans and other wildlife. He delivered the speech on the first day of an Orangutan Conservation Colloquium held in early October in the Malaysian state of Sabah on the island of Borneo.
Palm oil industry pledges wildlife corridors to save orangutans
(10/03/2009) In an unlikely—and perhaps tenuous—alliance, conservationists and the palm oil industry met this week to draw up plans to save Asia's last great ape, the orangutan. As if to underscore the colloquium's importance, delegates on arriving in the Malaysian State of Sabah found the capital covered in a thick and strange fog caused by the burning of rainforests and peat lands in neighboring Kalimantan. After two days of intensive meetings the colloquium adopted a resolution which included the acquisition of land for creating wildlife buffer zones of at least 100 meters along all major rivers, in addition to corridors for connecting forests. Researchers said such corridors were essential if orangutans were to have a future in Sabah.
Two of the world's most endangered (and strangest) primates receive protection from new reserves in China and Vietnam
(09/24/2009) There are 200 Tonkin snub-nosed monkeys left in the world. The cao vit gibbon, however, is even worse off with only 110 individuals remaining, giving it the dubious honor of being the second most endangered primate in the world (the closely-related Hainan gibbon with only 17 individuals is likely number one). Both of these species—the cao vit gibbon and Tonkin snub nosed monkey—have received good news recently as new reserves in China and Vietnam have been created in part to aid their survival.
Palm oil both a leading threat to orangutans and a key source of jobs in Sumatra
(09/24/2009) Of the world's two species of orangutan, a great ape that shares 96 percent of man's genetic makeup, the Sumatran orangutan is considerably more endangered than its cousin in Borneo. Today there are believed to be fewer than 7,000 Sumatran orangutans in the wild, a consequence of the wildlife trade, hunting, and accelerating destruction of their native forest habitat by loggers, small-scale farmers, and agribusiness. Gunung Leuser National Park in North Sumatra is one of the last strongholds for the species, serving as a refuge among paper pulp concessions and rubber and oil palm plantations. While orangutans are relatively well protected in areas around tourist centers, they are affected by poorly regulated interactions with tourists, which have increased the risk of disease and resulted in high mortality rates among infants near tourist centers like Bukit Lawang. Further, orangutans that range outside the park or live in remote areas or on its margins face conflicts with developers, including loggers, who may or may not know about the existence of the park, and plantation workers, who may kill any orangutans they encounter in the fields. Working to improve the fate of orangutans that find their way into plantations and unprotected community areas is the Orangutan Information Center (OIC), a local NGO that collaborates with the Sumatran Orangutan Society (SOS).
'Greening' logging concessions could help save great apes
(09/17/2009) Promoting reduced impact logging in forest areas already under concession could help protect populations of endangered great apes, argues a new report published by WWF.
Saving gorillas by bringing healthcare to local people in Uganda, an interview with Dr. Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka
(09/16/2009) How can bringing healthcare to local villagers in Uganda help save the Critically Endangered mountain gorilla? The answer lies in our genetics, says Dr. Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka, wildlife veterinarian and director of Conservation through Public Health (CTPH). "Because we share 98.4% genetic material with gorillas we can easily transmit diseases to each other." Therefore, explains Kalema-Zikusoka "our efforts to protect the gorillas will always be undermined by the poor public health of the people who they share a habitat with. In order to effectively improve the health of the gorillas we needed to also improve the health of the people, which will not only directly reduced the health threat to gorillas through improvement of public health practices, but also improved community attitudes toward wildlife conservation."
46 rescued orangutans returned to the wild by helicopter in Borneo
(09/05/2009) The Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOSF) has successfully released 46 orangutans back into the wild. The orangutans had been rescued from forest fragments and housed for months at the Nyaru Menteng Rescue and Reintroduction Project in Central Kalimantan until suitable — and secure — habitat was located. The release site is a section of rainforest in the upper Barito region of Central Kalimantan, within the Heart of Borneo.
20,000 orangutans killed or poached in 10 years without a single prosecution
(08/24/2009) At least 20,000 orangutans have been killed or captured for the illegal pet trade in the past ten years in Indonesia without a single prosecution, according to a report published by Nature Alert and the Centre for Orangutan Protection, groups that campaign on behalf of orangutans.
Rehabilitation not enough to solve orangutan crisis in Indonesia
(08/20/2009) A baby orangutan ambles across the grass at the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation's Nyaru Menteng rehabilitation center in Central Kalimantan, in the heart of Indonesian Borneo. The ape pauses, picks up a stick and makes his way over to a plastic log, lined with small holes. Breaking the stick in two, he pokes one end into a hole in an effort to extract honey that has been deposited by a conservation worker. His expression shows the tool's use has been fruitful. But he is not alone. To his right another orangutan has turned half a coconut shell into a helmet, two others wrestle on the lawn, and another youngster scales a papaya tree. There are dozens of orangutans, all of which are about the same age. Just outside the compound, dozens of younger orangutans are getting climbing lessons from the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOS) staff, while still younger orangutans are being fed milk from bottles in a nearby nursery. Still more orangutans—teenagers and adults—can be found on "Orangutan Island" beyond the center's main grounds. Meanwhile several recently wild orangutans sit in cages. This is a waiting game. BOS hopes to eventually release all of these orangutans back into their natural habitat—the majestic rainforests and swampy peatlands of Central Kalimantan, on the island of Borneo. But for many, this is a fate that may never be realized.
Examining monkey tools: archaeology expands to include non-human primates
(08/17/2009) Archaeology, the study of ancient cultures and their artifacts, has always been confined to the technology of humans and direct human ancestors. However, a new study recently published in the journal Nature examines the benefits of expanding the field of archaeology to include non-human primates.
Borneo ablaze: forest fires threaten world's largest remaining population of orangutans
(08/16/2009) Raging fires have broken out in the peat-swamp forests of Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, threatening the largest population of orangutans in the world. The fires were started by people but have spread uncontrollably due to the extreme drought that Borneo is currently experiencing as a result of El Niño conditions.
Gorillas orphaned by bushmeat trade set free on island
(08/10/2009) The Fernan-Vaz Gorilla Project has set free six young gorillas on an island outside of Loango National Park in Gabon. The release marks a new stage in the rehabilitation of the gorillas. The six western lowland gorillas, ranging from two to seven years of age, were orphaned when their respective parents were killed for bushmeat. The island provides a refuge from poachers and other predators where the gorillas are able to acclimate to the wild in safety.
Borneo orangutan release in jeopardy over fate of coal mining concession
(07/29/2009) A plan to release orangutans in a 250,000-hectare (618,000-acre) tract of forest in the Heart of Borneo has been disrupted by uncertainty around BHP Billiton's decision to pull out of a coal mining project in Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of Borneo, reports the Independent and conservation groups familiar with the situation. BHP Billiton had provided funds to help establish the forest reserve in Central Kalimantan and offered conservationists mapping support and use of helicopters to deposit orangutans into otherwise inaccessible areas. The two-year program would have reintroduced scores of orangutans but the first scheduled airlift of 48 orangutans for July 20 was canceled after BHP warned it could no longer guarantee the safety of reintroduced orangutans.
UK firm plans to log habitat of critically endangered orangutan for palm oil production
(06/23/2009) A Scottish firm has been implicated in funding a plan that would destroy the rainforest habitat of critically endangered orangutans in Sumatra.
Malaysian palm oil chief claims oil palm plantations help orangutans
(06/18/2009) Dr. Yusof Basiron, CEO of the Malaysian Palm Oil Council, the government-backed marketing arm of the Malaysian palm oil industry, claims on his blog that endangered orangutans benefit from living in proximity to oil palm plantations. Environmentalists scoff at the notion, maintaining that oil palm expansion is one of the greatest threats to orangutans.
First captive bonobos released into the wild
(06/16/2009) A group of 17 orphaned bonobos are being released into the wild for the first time this month. Set free by the world's only bonobo sanctuary, Lola ya Bonobo in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the bonobos will be released into a 50,000 acre (20,000 hectare) forest where the species has been absent for years.
Range extended for world's most mysterious gorilla
(06/11/2009) The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) announced yesterday the discovery of eastern lowland gorilla nests in an unexplored area of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), expanding the range of this little-known subspecies by 30 miles (50 kilometers). The eastern lowland gorilla, also known as Grauer's gorilla, is currently listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List. Scientists estimate that the gorilla has as few as 8,000 individual left. Although closely related to mountain gorillas, the eastern lowland gorilla is the world's largest living primate, weighing over 500 pounds at maximum, and is endemic to the DRC.
Orangutan guerrillas fight palm oil in Borneo
(06/01/2009) Despite worldwide attention and concern, prime orangutan habitat across Sumatra and Borneo continues to be destroyed by loggers and palm oil developers, resulting in the death of up to 3,000 orangutans per year (of a population less than 50,000). Conservation groups like Borneo Orangutan Survival report rescuing record numbers of infant orangutans from oil palm plantations, which are now a far bigger source of orphaned orangutans than the illicit pet trade. The volume of orangutans entering care centers is such that these facilities are running out of room for rescued apes, with translocated individuals sometimes waiting several months until suitable forest is found for reintroduction. Even then they aren't safe; in recent months loggers have started clearing two important reintroduction sites (forests near Bukit Tigapuluh National Park in Sumatra and Mawas in Central Kalimantan). Meanwhile across half a dozen rehabilitation centers in Malaysia and Indonesia, more than 1,000 baby orangutans—their mothers killed by oil palm plantation workers or in the process of forest clearing—are being trained by humans for hopeful reintroduction into the wild, assuming secure habitat can be found. Dismayed by the rising orangutan toll, a grassroots organization in Central Kalimantan is fighting back. Led by Hardi Baktiantoro, the Center for Orangutan Protection (COP) has mounted a guerrilla-style campaign against companies that are destroying orangutan habitat in Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of Borneo.
New rainforest reserve in Congo benefits bonobos and locals
(05/25/2009) A partnership between local villages and conservation groups, headed up by the Bonobo Conservation Initiative (BCI), has led to the creation of a new 1,847 square mile (4,875 square kilometer) reserve in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The reserve will save some of the region's last pristine forests: ensuring the survival of the embattled bonobo—the least-known of the world's four great ape species—and protecting a wide variety of biodiversity from the Congo peacock to the dwarf crocodile. However, the Kokolopori Bonobo Reserve is worth attention for another reason: every step of its creation—from biological surveys to reserve management—has been run by the local Congolese NGO and villages of Kokolopori.
APP, Sinar Mas plan to log habitat of critically endangered orangutans
(05/20/2009) Asia Pulp & Paper and Sinar Mas Group have acquired a license to clear hundreds of hectares of unprotected rainforest near Bukit Tigapuluh National Park on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, report environmental groups who say the activity threatens a population of critically endangered orangutans that have been re-introduced into the wild. The companies intend to log the concession for timber and plant it for industrial timber and oil palm plantations.
Orangutan population in Borneo park plunges 90% in 5 years
(05/16/2009) The population of orangutans in Indonesia's Kutai National Park has plunged by 90 percent in the past five years due to large-scale deforestation promoted by local authorities, reports The Centre for Orangutan Protection (COP), an Indonesian environmental group.
Chimpanzee population plummets 90 percent in supposedly strong region
(05/06/2009) Chimp populations continue to decline in Africa. A new survey of our closest relatives in the Cote D'Ivoire found that the population fell from an estimated 8,000 to 12,000 individuals to a paltry 800 to 1,200, a decline that took place in less than twenty years.
Large population of rare black orangutans found in Borneo
(04/13/2009) A large population of orangutans has been documented by conservationists conducting a survey in a remote part of Indonesia Borneo.
Male chimps use meat to seduce
(04/07/2009) Male chimpanzees who share meat with females over a long period of time have a better chance of mating, according to a new study published in PLoS ONE. Studying chimps in Tai National Park, Côte d'Ivoire, researchers from the Mac Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology observed that female chimps have sex more frequently with males who have shared meat with them at least once as opposed to males who never share.
Flu epidemic killing bonobos in Congo sanctuary
(03/29/2009) Six bonobos, a species of chimpanzee, have died from a flu epidemic in a month at the Lola Ya Bonobo in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Ten more have contracted the flu. "There is no fever. Antibiotics don't do anything. The bonobos have severe respiratory infections and then they can't breath for 3 days then they die," writes a staff member on the sanctuary's blog through the conservation organization WildlifeDirect. The staff of Lola Ya Bonobo have sent out a plea for help and donations, as the flu continues to sweep through their center.
More than 300 gorillas butchered each year in the Republic of Congo
(03/27/2009) During 2008 and early 2009, Endangered Species International (ESI) conducted monitoring activities using undercover methods at key markets in the city of Pointe Noire, the second biggest city in Congo. Findings reveal that 95 percent of the illegal bushmeat sold originates from the Kouilou region about 100-150 km northwest to Pointe Noire where primary and unprotected rainforest still remains. The Kouilou region is one the last reservoirs of biodiversity and endangered animals in the area.
After seizure, gorilla receives MRI scan free of charge
(03/26/2009) The Wildlife Conservation Society announced today that a 42-year-old western lowland gorilla named Fubo received a free MRI scan after suffering a seizure at his home in the Bronx Zoo's Congo Gorilla Forest exhibit. The MRI was provided by The Brain Tumor Foundation, which sent a 48-foot-long moveable MRI facility to the zoo. Overseen by vets, zookeepers, and various medical personnel, the scan revealed that Fubo had a lesion on his left temporal lobe of his brain.

Make your own muesli with MuesliMixer
I was lucky enough to receive a sample of my very own blend of muesli from MuesliMixer, a company which allows you to create your own customised muesli from over 55 ingredients.
I had heard of MuesliMixer before but never got around to designing and ordering my own muesli. However with the lack of good gluten free muesli's around this seemed like a great idea.
MuesliMixer has two types of gluten free bases, free and c'crunchy (rice puffs, rice flakes and sunflower seeds with a pinch of cinnamon) and free and tasty (rice flakes, puffed amaranth and buckwheat) and a number of glutenous options. I decided to go for the free and c'crunchy as I looooove cinnamon.
There are a number of fruit, nuts and seeds and extra options (both gluten free and not) to add to your muesli base. I choose apple, cinnamon roasted almonds (to continue on with the cinnamon theme) and linseeds for extra fibre. The process is so easy and at the 'add to cart' stage of the ordering process you even get the option to name your muesli.
All up my muesli cost $12.02 + $5.49 shipping which makes it quite a lot more expensive than buying muesli off the shelf at the supermarket, however note that the gluten free muesli base is almost double the price of those glutenous bases.
I was very impressed with the delivery time having put my order in on the 21st November and receiving my muesli on the 24th. Opening up the package I found an additional bag of peanuts with the label 'try some pretty peanuts – and maybe order them the next time :-)'. This is such a creative concept which I love!
So the verdict on the taste of the muesli? Delicious! There was the perfect amount of cinnamon in the base mix and the cinnamon roasted almonds gave it that extra kick. The only thing that I would change is that next time I would order twice as many almonds because they taste so good!
I am always on the look out for original and different presents for people and I think this would be a great idea especially for friends/family who are gluten intolerant (if you want to order someone some muesli for Christmas you can add a gift tag).
The creative ideas from MuesliMixer don't stop there! If you love the muesli you made and want to re-order they even give you a code on the back of your packet to do so.
I love this concept and am excited to make other flavour combinations.
What would you include in your personalised muesli?
