Guys, if you really like a girl, do you masturbate with her in mind? If yes, do you even do this if she has an "innocent" personality? Even if your a... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Yes, I have done this so many times. I have a (only one) girlfriend whom I will marry after 3yrs. We meet once in a year for 3-4 days. She s 1000miles away from my state. Can't even see her if I am upset/sad/happy/emotional/moody/sexy mood etc. I can only call and spoke to her. So we share everything over the phone. Virtual sex also happens sometimes to vent out the sexual feel. Eg. I ask her to remove her dresses and ask her to do some naughty touches etc (all over the phone). If I get into sexy mood, I seek permission from her to masturbate. She takes me thru the process by asking me to remove my dress one by one and giving kisses etc.
What we are doing is mutual. Am very much guilty (lost peace many days) about this. I don't know what were are doing is right or wrong. Even she doesn't know. We both are not loving for time pass. True love. We both are dream about our wonderful future together.
Girls/Guys, Please tel me what we are doing is right/wrong. Am very much confused about this. Please help me out in getting rid of this confusions.
What do we do when we meet? - Just share hugs and kisses and few physical touches. Not sex!
I don't think that having phone sex is very right. It seems to me that you just get horny and use each other to satisfy this horny urge. Your relationship seems to be based on lust rather then actual love.
Dude, there is nothing wrong with phone sex. Talking on the phone is probably the only contact you have with the woman you love and if you're going to use it to masturbate that is totally natural.
What would have been wrong was to have sex with a prostitute or some other stranger.
What Guys Said 16
Yes I would and do masturbate thinking about the women I really like.
i you want me to paint what my mental picture is when I am doing this let me know.
Haha sorry to drag this up but id like to know what your mental picture is-ive always wondered.
Lol I don't mean I wander about you personally haha wen I read my comment back it sounds like that lol I just mean in general because there's this guy I know likes me so was just wandering if he thought about me.
I normally thing about her and I doing sexual things together, Whatever my mood may be, say the next time it happens it could be about giving/receiving oral.......You get the picture. hope this helps
I do but usually it will take a few more days to get used to if they are innocent type. I'm considered a very romantic gentleman & I masturbate often to the thought of the girl I like.
& I usually look at pictures.
& I usually look at pictures. I think that when a guy masturbates to a girl he likes it increases his fondness of her.
I don't usually come to girls I know. I have tried it before, using Facebook and looking up pics of them, and sure I can get hard by jerking it, but I cannot seem to jizz to them. Like I feel ashamed by doing it. I have done it one time tho, I actually spoke to this girl about masturbating, like she is really sexual, we are just friends, not Boyfriend Gf, and we would look at porn together and have fun times competing to see who could come first, or who could come the most in one night, believe me never take a bet with a girl about masturbating, she pulled off 3 orgasms in an hour, and I had 2 in like 3 hours. Well I started talking to her what she would think if I cummed to pics of her, and she said it would be cool, she would take it as a complement and wanted to know how much I jizzed and how good it felt doing it to her, well it wasn't as good as I thought it would be lol.
Yes I do, and I have no problem with it. I would much rather masturbate to a girl at school than some fake whore on p*rn .
Most of the time I will see a hot girl at school and have the urge to jack off to the image I have of her in my head.
As for if she is innocent, it just depends. There are some girls that are innocent, cute, and beautiful, but don't have those amazing hot bodies. For example, there is this girl in my English class that I am crazy about. She is really outgoing, kind, cute, smart, and has an amazing body. She is kind if on the short side and has an amazing butt. I couldn't stop looking or thinking about her the whole class. She was wearing jeans that really showed off her amazing butt, and she has a really cute face. The second I got home today I masturbated to her.
i know that if you just like than yes. but if you love someone it is really hard I don't know why but it is
I know the feeling totally. Haven't done it in almost 2 weeks. Have a deeply crush on a girl. I feel some kind of guilty if I do it. Have stayed away from porn/hentai for a good while now. I hope after my exams I can ask her out and maybe start something.
hi... I did it a few times but I felt like I did something wrong. see I thought I liked her more than 'just that' and when I did it I felt bad because it made me feel like I considered her a 'slut or something'. the truth was that it was just a fantasy. I really liked her still. but big problem... things didn't work out too well so I'm trying to get over her. I don't want to masturbate with her in mind but I found myself doing it a couple times... is this wrong? I have deep feeling it is... btw I'm a gentleman not a sicko... like many guys we have fantasies that we don't really act upon in real life.
If I were you I would try to start something with her.
I know it's hard and I am in the same case as you, but that's the way too go, bro. Unless you don't progress it from crush to a relationship with her, you will always stay at that stage.
Yes and no. I love my girlfriend with all my heart, and no one can please me more than her, but when I guy's masturbate they usually watch/read/listen to, porn, and can imagine themselves in the scenario they are watching. I truly believe innocence has nothing to do with it.
So you would do this sometimes with the girl you like in mind and sometimes with a porn girl in mind?
I see the dilemma here and I have never been in a relationship to tell you what's wrong or right for me, but I can only tell you this, if you have a crush on someone you can't get yourself to do it. At least it's like that for me. I can't get myself to masturbate. Because then I would feel guilty about it and that I am doing something really wrong. Though the girl I like have no awareness of this, deep inside me I feel guiltiness. I guess it's not like that for everybody and this goes from person to person. :)
What Girls Said 3
I had a stalker back in high school who would touch my hair and masturbate while sitting behind me in class, even though I was "innocent" as you say. (looking back I should have told an adult, but naive kids will be naive kids. I just thought he was gross, I never thought potentially dangerous. )
at least nothing bad happened to me, now all I can do is look back and realize what an idiot I was. Haha
That is sick
Omg wow ugh
Have an opinion?

To all Residents:
David Smades from the QuickPass home office will be conducting training classes on the use of this Visitor Access System. The class will take about 30 minutes and will include a hands-on demonstration of what residents need to know about using the system.
This introductory training has proven very useful in other communities when getting starting to use QuickPass. The classes will be held in the Community Room of the Club House. There will be seven identical training sessions. For questions please call 305-293-0301.
The schedule is:
Wednesday 3/18 10:30am and 5:30pm
Thursday 3/19 10:30am and 6:00pm
Friday 3/20 10:30am and 6:00pm
Saturday 3/21 10:30am
All residents are encouraged to attend ONE of these classes.

Key West Golf Club Owners and Residents,
If you have not already received it, you will be receiving an initial email later this week from firstname.lastname@example.com asking you to set up your account. Quickpass is a visitor management system which the Homeowners Association is in the process of installing in the Key West Golf Club community. When fully operational it will allow you and our security personnel to better control visitor access and parking of vehicles on our property.
The initial email will provide a link to the QuickPass system. It will ask you to open your account, review and update your contact and vehicle information. The process is fairly straight forward.
After your account is updated in the Quickpass system, you will be able to identify any visitors you want to give access to the property. That information will be used by the security personnel at front gate to process them onto the property.
We are implementing the QuickPass system on a trial basis over the next several months to evaluate its performance and capabilities. The implementation will be phased in slowly so residents and security personnel can learn how to use it.
If you do not received the email from QuickPass, please contact them. They have a resident support email which is firstname.lastname@example.com and a phone line that will provide help during business hours or you can leave a message and someone will get back to you right away. That number is 480-367-6982.
If you have any questions about how the HOA is implementing Quickpass, please call Chuck Best, Property Manager, at 305-293-0301. Additional information about the installation and its phasing will be distributed in the future.


text: The R.O.B. wiki last edited by Tgrills on 02/09/15 01:21PM View full history R.O.B.'s appearance in Mario Kart DS.Released by Nintendo as an accessory/peripheral for the original NES, the R.O.B., or Robot Operating Buddy, was a short-lived addition to Nintendo's growing home console library in the mid-1980's, and was instrumental in marketing the N.E.S as an "Entertainment System" rather than a video game console.Only compatible with two games, Gyromite and Stack-Up, R.O.B. was originally a unique and attention-grabbing selling point, but was later mostly forgotten. Interestingly, and proving that nothing in the gaming world is ever truly forgotten, R.O.B. has begun popping up of late, making cameo appearances in many present-day Nintendo first-party franchises.First appearing in 1985, R.O.B. bares a striking resemblance to later robot movie characters such as Johnny 5 and WALL-E.In Mario Kart DSR.O.B. appears in Mario Kart DS as an unlockable character. He is one of the few characters in the Mario Kart series that did not originate from a Mario game.In Super Smash Bros. BrawlR.O.B. is an unlockable character in the crossover fighting game Super Smash Bros. Brawl.R.O.B. as the ancient minister.In the Subspace Emissary adventure mode R.O.B. first appears as the Ancient Minister, the mysterious leader of the Subspace Army. When the Ancient Minister refuses to sacrifice any more R.O.B.s, Ganondorf orders the R.O.B. Squad to attack him. His Ancient Minister disguise is destroyed, revealing his true identity as a R.O.B. He then joins the protagonists on their mission to defeat Subspace.

Excellent add-on, especially like autohide.
Is there a way to locate the popup on the right side of the browser?
My all time favorite theme. Thank you very much for updating it.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (184.108.40.206).
In 3.0, you can duplicate bookmarks by draggin tab or url favicon, but this makes it so much easier.
Another excellent extension.
I have the sidebar on right, and would like to have a rightside hover show. Possible?
All in all, excellent, especially the lock/unlock option
Just a note: I feel that several "reviews" detailing installation problems which are not the developer's fault deflate the ratings, so here's my five stars. I'm using several add-ons by this author, and all work as described, and I recommend they be un-sandboxed soonThis review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.3).
note to developer: The downloaded xpi has 3.0b3 as max version in install.rdf
though page says 3.1a1pre
I like the idea, and it is useful, but it disables the middleclick open all in tabs feature, which, as I store many sessions in folders on the toolbar, makes it unusable for me now. Hopefully, this can be amended,This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.8).
Very useful for me, as I like to do as much as possible within the browser frame without hunting buttons on the toolbars, so this tab context menu is a timesaver.
I especially like the "go to start" feature which acts as a Safari-like SnapBack, and is ideal for my style of research
Works smoothly, and responds well to different window sizes and resizing (the userChromes are glitchy).
Thank you VERY much.
This should be out of "experimental" soon, and recommended to the public.
Using 3.0pre ID:2008051011
Was going to say the best sidebar tabs, but, with nested tabs, the best vertical tabs too.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.5.2008030303).
I'm using the penultimate 1.12 version in 188.8.131.52 and this feature doesn't work. Is this only available for the 3.0 version? Is it possible to be available for 2.0?
Otherwise, very fine in Default theme. Especially like the expansive tabs and adjustable tabbar.
Requested Feature: If at all possible, a toggle button between default tabbar and vertical would be useful. With only a few tabs open, the default tabbar works fine. With many tabs open, vertical tabs are best.
I've always enjoyed tour themes, especially the subtle gradations of tone and luminosity. But the is absolutely stunning.
There is nothing harsh or inorganic about your colours. I believe they are derived from crushed stone, plant fiber and velluma, as always, the code is seamless.
I've only seen your Midnight theme online, but it too is beautiful. You've claimed new territory as your own.
A lovely theme. a TEN. However, for me, it disables the extension Clear Fields https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2408
which I use frequently, so until this can be resolved, I'm forced to choose function over form.
I like the theme very much, both dropdown and sidebars clear and easy on the eyes. However, the text on the status bar has to be darkened, or skin the status bar fully with appropriate text coloration, otherwise a 10.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.00).
Very nice theme, I like the colors and layout very much, and would use it, except that I find the unfocused tabs very difficult to read. I use no tab extensions, perhaps one could darken the text.
Otherwise, very fine.
I am trying to keep Firefox light and agile, and have only a few bookmark extensions. Nautipolis adjusts the default theme just enough with clear, attractive icons and excellent sidebar, all with a very small, unobtrusive footprint.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.7.14).
I have both installed, and have no problems. I also have Mr.Tech Local Install, and that may help.
I use Split Pannel frequently, and am very pleased with it. The only problem is that a few themes, such as the BlackJapanMax doesn't show a closing x in the pannel.

Picture: Glenn Close The New York Times Arts & Leisure Weekend - Day 1 held at the Times Centre New York City, USA - 08.01.09
Actress Glenn Close loves the anonymity of living in New York - because she can go about her business without a constant trail of photographers.
The Fatal Attraction star moved to the city in 1974 and has stayed in the Big Apple ever since, despite movie industry pressure to move to Hollywood.
And Connecticut-born Close insists she will never leave her adopted home, because she enjoys the relaxed atmosphere in the city, which is in sharp contrast to the paparazzi-ridden streets of Los Angeles.
She says, "I love New Yorkers, I love the fact that I can go on the subway and I love the fact that I can do public transport.
"The only people who bother me is the odd tourist. On the subway someone will catch my eye and give me a thumbs-up.
"I just love that I don't have to have make-up on - I can look horrible and nobody cares. It's hard for me to believe it would be the same thing in Hollywood without someone with a camera hiding behind a market basket trying to get you picking your nose or something."

Now, I'm thinking of getting the 5900XT or 9800pro and flash either to 5950U or XT. Currently, I am leaning towards the 9800pro just because it performs better at 3dmark 05, although I am aware that it is the better performer.
Just wondering why the Geforce cards totally suck at 3dmark05?? It hurts to see a 9500pro
the 5900U. Anyway, is it a driver probelm or something that will be solved in the near future or something like that??
Nope, since it's an architectural/design problem it's pretty hard to fix it via drivers. If you want something now, go with the 9800 Pro. But if you'd prefer the 6600GT and can wait a couple months, the AGP version should be out. Also, why would you need to worry about the HSI? That's something the card manufacturer and Nvidia deal with, not the end user like you. It may add a few dollars to the price of the card, but it shouldn't be outrageous.

A place for news and commentary about Milwaukee neighborhoods, government and urban life
City praised for budget, with a cautionary note
A new analysis of the proposed 2014 city budget by the Public Policy Forum gives budget planners a high grade.
"Given the city's substantial pension contribution, stagnant state aids, state-imposed property tax limits, and $7.6 million in expiring grants, maintaining services at existing levels is no small task," the nonpartisan group reports. "When measured against that objective, the 2014 proposed budget receives a high grade, as well as extra credit for its foreclosure initiative and continued diligence on local street repairs."
Mayor Tom Barrett's proposed budget includes a $61.6 million contribution toward the city's pension fund. Not all of that money is coming from the property-tax levy: $13.4 million of that amount will come from a special pension reserve.
"While the pension obligation remains daunting – at nearly $62 million for the employer share in 2014 – the impacts have been alleviated by withdrawals from the pension reserve, as well as recent policy changes that eliminate wide swings in annual pension payments," the report says.
The report adds that an additional $14.8 million of property tax levy will need to be identified within the next three years to accommodate higher pension payments once the pension reserve fund is exhausted.
The forum's report also notes that the city is taking $20 million out of its Tax Stabilization Fund, a 34% increase over this year. That fund, the report says, "is unlikely to be able to continue this level of operating support in the future."
The report also adds this cautionary note: "The substantial savings generated by major health care changes in 2012 soon will run their course; the ability to rely as heavily on the tax stabilization fund will depend upon the city's tenuous ability to continue to generate robust annual surpluses to replenish the fund; and the capacity of the debt service fund to offset annual debt service payments and free up cash for capital projects may not be sustainable on a long-term basis."
The report also takes note of the increases in various services, including garbage and snow and ice removal. Under the proposed budget, charges for such services would increase 4.4%. The report notes that charges for services now comprise a larger percentage of general purpose revenue than the property tax.
Ald. Michael Murphy, chairman of the Common Council's Finance and Personnel Committee, said in a statement that the city had been harmed by state actions.
"To be frank, the city's long-term fiscal challenges remain daunting because of several factors, including the loss of shared revenue from the state shared revenue program, as well as public policy changes (repeal of residency requirement for city workers, removal of billboards from the property tax rolls, etc.) that will be detrimental to the city's finances," he said.
Murphy added that he was confident the city will continue to balance its budget and pay its bills on time.

Thanks for the help JinJin. I just wanted to say that I got an immediate response from JinJin and that she was very flexible about meeting me during my busy schedule.
She showed me many different listings, knew a great deal about neighborhoods and buildings and helped me to isolate where I want to make my next move. Very professional and cute.
I rented an apartment from this agent.

I would be wary of pictures and information posted in listings by this broker. She claimed to be showing us a 2 bedroom, but neither the pictures nor the floor plan in her listing matched with the actual apartment she showed us, which was a 1 bedroom that had been converted to a 2 bedroom. Also, there was no in-unit laundry, contrary to the pictures in her listing. The experience left me feeling like my time had been wasted.
I did not rent an apartment from this agent.

Jin Jin worked hard to get me into a lot of apartment showings after hours. Also, she was courteous, and did not push me to sign a lease after seeing the first apartment.
I did not rent an apartment from this agent.

A strong field of cars and drivers highlighted the UMP Summer Nationals on Tuesday at Belle-Clair Speedway in Belleville and Bobby Pierce won the $5,000 for finishing first in the UMP Late Models 40-lap feature race.
There were 35 UMP Late Models trying to make the show. Heat race winners were Pierce, Shannon Babb, Randy Korte and Brandon Sheppard. The semi went to Ryan Unzicker.
This race would stay green much of the 40 laps and there was lead changes. Pierce would job pass Korte for the lead first and maintain that for quite a few laps.
Ryan Unzicker was the car moving forward on the bottom. He started 17th and was in the top five at the end of the race running the bottom.
Babb would take command around lap 24 and Pierce and Sheppard were close behind.
Pierce would get a run coming out of turn one and put a slide job on Babb late in the race and it work, but he had right side sheet medal damage from hit the outside wall.
Pierce would go on an get his first win of the season on the Summer National tour. He was followed by Babb, Sheppard, Unzicker and Korte to complete the top five.
Mike Harrison won the $1,000 prize to the winner of the UMP Modifieds feature. Harrison led all 30 laps with Matt Mevert close behind trying to get the lead.
With only two cautions to slow that race it was a battle for the remaining positions.
Harrison would take the checkered flag with Matt Mevert, Devin Gilpin, NASCAR's Kenny Wallace and Tyler Nicely rounding out the top five in the 30-lap race.
Last Friday at Belle-Clair, Daryn Klein won the UMP Late Models topless feature race. However, after the race he was determined to be under weight and was disqualified, giving the win instead to Matt Wiedner. It was his first feature win.
Brian Bielong held off Rusty Griffaw in the UMP Modifieds feature on topless night.
Trevor Isaak won the Pure Stocks feature and Brad Knepper won the Kids Modz feature.

The NextMed / MMVR Conference
In 1992, the "Medicine Meets Virtual Reality" conference first presented a daring vision of healthcare transformed by newly accessible computer-based technologies. Participants explored how simulation, modeling, visualization, robotics, data networks, and ancillary tools could make medical therapy and education more precise, effective, and affordable.
The evolving "NextMed/MMVR" continues to attract international researchers committed to intelligent healthcare: engineers, clinicians, educators, industry, military, students, futurists, and others. Analyzing progress across disciplines, they nurture a collaborative language that better assesses current challenges and enables improved outcomes.
Over two decades, medical virtual reality—along with the broader integration of IT with medicine—has advanced remarkably. And the vision shared at this conference still inspires with its creative mix of provocative thinking and validated investigation.
Update! The dates of NextMed/MMVR22 remain pending. Late winter or early spring 2016 appears likely. The Call for Presentations will open about 9 months before the conference, with the submission deadline about 7 months before.
In the meantime, we invite you to:
- Visit our 2014 and 2013 archives to learn about topics and presentations
- Provide us (or confirm) your email address to receive future updates
- Enjoy lots of photos at our Facebook page
1st MMVR / IFCARS Joint Conference on Human Machine Interface
In collaboration with the CARS Congress, we are holding a session on human-machine interface technology in Barcelona on June 24. It will include submitted papers and invited lectures. CARS is an outstanding international gathering and it is a pleasure to share the topic with that research community.
MMVR/IFCARS co-chairs are Ramin Shahidi PhD and Dave Warner MD PhD, members of our own Organizing Committee.
This session is organized as part of CARS, so please see its website for details, including registration information.

44 year old man | Olathe, KS, USA | Seeking women 30-46 within 50 miles
Looking for a laid back adventurer.
I'm very laid back that enjoys life outdoors and with my son. Will try most adventures at least once. I love to hang with friends for cookouts and conversation with a cold beer. I am originally from the Ft. Worth TX area and was transplanted in Missouri when I was a young boy, I consider myself as a Texan! I'm looking for a person with these same interest and is done with the constant bar scene. I would consider myself very straight foward and i'm not afraid to speak my mind. I am who I am and im not looking for anybody that is going to try to change me to who they want, I want you to want me for who I am. I have owned my home now for 11 years and I have not been dependent on anybody so that is not what I am looking for. I love to cook but over the years I have figured out it is really hard to cook for one, lots of leftovers. The greatest gift God has ever given me came 3 1/2 years ago in my son. I have a good relationship with his mother and we both understand we are his parents and that we are here for him and his happiness so are first decision was keep all matters out of the courts. I believe government should stay out of family matters as much as possible. I have had a lot of changes in my life in the last 4 years, some for the good and some for the bad. I have made the best out of the bad and with my drive I turned the situations into a positive and moved full speed ahead. I grew up in a Christian household and through the years my faith has never changed and I love God first. I have strayed from his teachings at times in my life, but deep down I always knew the right path. I still wouldn't consider all my paths as the best but I never regret anything I have done one or do in my life. But I am learning! I spend time between Springfield and Kansas City working for the railroad. I'd say its about 50/50 on the time, but my home is in the Springfield area. If time allows I love to watch a St. Louis Cardinals or Dallas Cowboys game, in person or on TV!

"The most difficult part about being involved with Seminole Student Boosters for me is just keeping track and trying to stay up to date with our 1,600-plus members," said Athletic Events Associate Director and FSU junior Katie Min Holmstrom. "We are the largest student organization. I am very proud of our member population and their school pride."
Freshman Arielle Haynes is the Special Events Associate Director. She became involved through her interest in obtaining tickets to go to the games. Haynes applied during the summer to be involved in the organization.
"I've always wanted to join Seminole Student Boosters and I finally became a member after I made friends with members on the 2006 executive board," said FSU junior Tiffani Dishner. "Hearing their experiences with Seminole Student Boosters, I decided that I wanted to become more involved with it and ran for the Ticket Director position."
Aside from being a full-time student taking 15 credit hours, Haynes is dedicated to HT3, which promotes diabetes awareness, and was inducted at Torch Night for her involvement in high school.
As the Special Events Associate Director, Haynes is one of 20 on the Executive Board. The Tampa native is responsible for assisting the Event Planner and overseeing the Special Events committee of 16.
Seminole Student Boosters is also involved with community service projects such as Dance Marathon. A big event for the organization is Seminole Uprising, their Fall pep rally. Being engaged with so many gatherings, people, and objectives, sometimes unfortunate occurrences come up that are beyond their control.
"The craziest mishap would have to be my first year when we tried having Seminole Uprising in Dick Howser," said President and FSU senior Joe Mahshie. "The weather was horrible and we went back and forth all day whether or not to have the pep rally or to postpone it.
Besides attending sporting events, there are plenty of benefits to being involved in Seminole Student Boosters.
"I think getting a behind-the-scenes look on what goes on in athletes' lives and being able to be on board with athletes is a great perk," said Haynes. "You hear their perspective and you hear how much it means to them."

Madam Mitigation:
Lucio's nickname for Mistress Overdone, "Madam Mitigation", references the bawd's ability to alleviate the sexual desires of her customers. However, ranging entries of the terms "mitigate" and "mitigation" in the Oxford English Dictionary add further dimension to Overdone's nickname.
Besides the more obvious definition, "To alleviate or give relief from (an illness or symptom, pain, suffering, sorrow, etc.)" another entry associates mitigation with "Compassion, mercy, or favour." This is particularly interesting in light of Shakespeare's careful juxtaposition of the main plot that occurs "above ground" and the subplot of the underworld. While the characters above ground (such as Angelo) undermine their outward concern for justice with deceitful and hypocritical actions, the characters of the underworld, though "dirty" and "diseased" prove altogether more honest and virtuous. Mistress Overdone, for example, demonstrates her maternal and generous nature by taking care of the baby of Lucio and one of her bawds. "I have kept it myself; and see how he goes about to abuse me!", she claims in 3.2, evidencing at once both her own compassion and Lucio's hypocrisy. It is due to this compassion, along with her honest conversations with Pompey, and her fear of "what will become of her" under stringent law, that Shakespeare manages to align the sympathies of his audience with a prostitute.
Another entry in the OED defines "mitigation" as "abatement or relaxation of the severity or rigour of a law, penalty, etc." This also seems relevant to Mistress Overdone's role in the play, as she embodies a group highly threatened by the strict and rigorous policies of Angelo and the Puritan pressure to rid the city of its vices. It is exactly "mitigation" she seeks from the authorities in response to her 'crimes': "Good my lord, be good to me", she begs Escalus in 3.2. It is again the positive light she is presented in (by her honest and compassionate nature) that causes the audience to also hope for the "relaxation of the severity or rigour of a law".
Perhaps the nickname, "Madam Mitigation", implies more than a prostitute's ability to please. Through the figure of Mistress Overdone, Shakespeare challenges a narrow representation of the urban underworld and acknowledges that even the most prominent embodiments of deviant sexuality may not necessarily be void of virtue.

The operation was not a laboratory, like one used to cook methamphetamine, but used already prepared chemicals to make the pills.

Photo By MCSOFeb. 13, 2014: Law enforcement authorities seized about 3,000 grams of methamphetamine during a traffic stop on the frontage road of U.S. 59 in Splendora. The drugs were estimated to be worth $300,00, and two men were arrested.
An El Campo man remained Monday in the Wharton County Jail after police found him with 1.5 pounds of cocaine valued at $44,000 on the street.
Michael Martinez, 28, was arrested about 10:30 p.m. May 28, when police executed a search warrant at his home near U.S. 59 on El Campo's south side.
He is charged with delivery of a controlled substance, money laundering and endangering a child. Bond for the three charges totals $116,000, according to law enforcement records.
The child endangerment charge was added because there were seven children in the house, ranging in age from a few months to 19 years, said Lt. Russell Urban of the El Campo Police Department. The infant was in the same room as the cocaine, which was in a child's toy bag, he said.
If convicted on the charges, Martinez faces five to 99 years in prison. At the time of his arrest, he was on parole for an earlier drug charge, police said.
While a drug seizure of that size would not be unusual in Houston, for a small town like El Campo, it's uncommon, Urban said.
"On the highway, we stop truckloads of marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine all headed to Houston from down south," Urban said. "But for our local dealers to have that amount is pretty rare."
