Video: WWFD Chief Speaks at Lt. Mike Chiapperini Funeral
Video: Webster Police Chief Pickering Speaks at Chiapperini Funeral
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
By Patti Singer and Brian Sharp
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
WEBSTER, N.Y. - The tears came before the words.
As Webster police Sgt. Dennis Kohlmeier wept before the packed Webster Schroeder auditorium at Lt. Michael Chiapperini's funeral service on Sunday, one brother in uniform after another rose to join him, until a crowd formed at the podium.
That show of unity and brotherhood was evident throughout the day - in the thousands of emergency responders who stood in the frigid afternoon wind as Chiapperini's flag-draped coffin passed; in the dozens of firetrucks, police vehicles and ambulances from across the region that joined the funeral procession to West Webster Cemetery; in the citizens who lined the route holding American flags.
Kohlmeier composed himself and as others did before and after him, he spoke of Chiapperini as a friend and mentor - loving, laughing, as quick to offer a helpful word as a helping hand.
A police officer. A firefighter. A husband, father, son, brother.
"We mourn. We hurt. We cry. But we do not break," Chiapperini's brother-in-law, Dane Erich, said during the funeral service at the high school. "Mindless evil is not going to triumph over good."
Chiapperini, 43, and Tomasz Kaczowka, 19, were fatally shot on Christmas Eve while responding to a fire on Lake Road in Webster. Kaczowka's funeral is scheduled for Monday.
The blue line
Approximately 4,000 firefighters, police, and emergency medical services providers came to pay their respects to Chiapperini from departments throughout New York state, from Maine to California and several communities in the Canadian province of Ontario.
"As we honor our fallen brothers, we stand together in the blue line," Monroe County Sheriff Commander Dave Phelps said before the assembly formed.
They began to gather more than two hours before the service, many taking school bus shuttles from Webster Thomas High School to Schroeder. They assembled in the school then walked two by two into the parking lot, filling three sections. The only sound was the crunch of rock salt under their boots.
Some wore hats, others had earmuffs. Some wore dress white gloves, others had heavier gloves but a few just clenched bare hands.
They stood silently, shoulder to shoulder and several deep, then snapped to a salute when West Webster Truck 122 pulled up, draped with purple and black bunting and bearing the casket of Chiapperini. A contingent lowered it to a bier, and several of Chiapperini's colleagues passed between two lines of West Webster firefighters to escort him into the school as nearly 100 bagpipes and drums played.
The formation broke row by row as each responder went single file into the school, proceeding to the auditorium to pass by the casket, hats held over their hearts. Family and members of the West Webster Fire Department and Webster Police Department were the only mourners who remained in the auditorium, where the service took place. Others watched a broadcast of the service in the cafeteria and gymnasium.
West Webster Fire Chief James Deisenroth said Chiapperini joined the department at age 18 and quickly became one of its most active members. "His was a leadership unlike any I've ever experienced," Deisenroth said. "... His goal was to teach us to always do the right thing."
He then addressed Chiapperini, saying that - with Kaczowka - "you will never be alone."
Former Fire Chief and Webster Police Officer Anthony Galante told a story about the time he and Chiapperini were caught trying to sneak an air conditioner into a dormitory room at the fire academy. Remember him in "happy terms," Erich had told the mourners.
After the service, Chiapperini's casket was escorted back to Truck 122. A bugler blew Taps and Chiapperini received a 21-gun salute. Firehouse chaplain Hugh Knight called the detail to the final alarm for Chiapperini, also a former West Webster chief.
He spoke of the tradition of a ringing bell that brings a firefighter to duty and signals the end of the call. Then the bell was rung in three bursts, with three rings each time.
Brad Davies, 22, of Warsaw, Wyoming County, struggled to find words to describe the ceremony. He said that walking past he casket was breathtaking.
Davies, who has been a volunteer firefighter only since May, spent the time during the service back in formation.
"That's OK," he said. "For the sacrifice he's given to us, I can stand outside for a few hours and pay respects."
Dave DeGraff, the chief of Wallkill volunteer company in Ulster County, said he would most remember the row after row of firefighters and law enforcement.
Brent Smith, 27, a fireman in Orange County, Calif., was part of the honor guard.
"We felt it was important to show that their brothers on the West Coast are thinking of you," he said. "We wanted to show support."
Sgt. Jeff Alderdice of the Toronto Police Service called the funeral stirring and was struck by the grace and strength of Chiapperini's widow, Kimberly.
"I can't believe how brave the officer's wife is. For her to be so strong in front of all of us."
Broken hearts
In her eulogy, Kimberly Chiapperini thanked the community, as well as police, firefighters and Explorers, who drew applause when she asked them to stand. She recounted her husband's humor and playfulness, bringing the somber crowd to laughter, and spoke of her loss, bringing them to tears.
"Even though I'm surrounded by wonderful people, it's incredibly lonely," she said. "My heart is broken."
Two weeks ago, she happened across a YouTube video of a firefighter's funeral and Chiapperini told her that if he happened to die in the line of duty, not to have the bagpipers play Amazing Grace at his funeral because it was too cliche.
They laughed about it then. But when the funeral director came, she told him to make sure the bagpipers played that hymn. If the cold made them out of tune, all the better. "Mike will be laughing," she said.
As the family and mourners gathered at the graveside, residents - including Kohlmeier's sister-in-law, Chiapperini's former classmate and others dispersed from driveways where they had gathered as the procession passed. Small flags lined snowbanks and the cemetery road. Down the street, a hand-painted sign read: "WWFD God Bless, We ? You."
And the sound of bagpipes playing Amazing Grace drifted out over Ridge Road.
"Car 9-4-1, you are 10-7," Webster Police Chief Gerald Pickering had said during the funeral service, his voice breaking as he wrapped up his remarks. "Your work is done here.
"Rest in peace, my friend."

Rated 5 out of 5 by EmilyW IN LOVE! I love these curtains so much, they are exactly what I needed! I was hesitant to buy a sheer curtain, as I feel like they can look teen-y at times, but I couldn't be happier. I have an apartment with typical beige walls and not a lot of natural light. These curtains make my patio doors look bigger and brighter. The jute detailing is darling. Obsessed! I ordered these on sale and another more expensive pair from another retailer, and these won by a landslide. They're beautiful, casual, and airy. The pattern is not overwhelming and adds just the right amount of visual interest. March 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by pattycakes sheer ivory jute curtains I live about 100 miles from a World Market. I bought 4 of these about 3 years ago on-line. An interior designer gave them a rave review. I wanted more and they were only available in store. On a trip to Calif I found them in a store and brought 8 back in my luggage. I'm going to buy more now since they are back in stock. We have rental properties and these are great in bedrooms with a bamboo shade, in living room without shade. They are sheer but not super sheer a nice diffused effect. January 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by LuvtoShop Sheer & So Pretty The panels are smaller than other World Market curtains, which I didn't notice until I went to hang the 1st set. Even though my window was of average size, due to the width, I felt (4) panels were needed for added drama. I also clipped rings on the top to make it easy to open/close. As others have mentioned, the panels are sheer and won't provide security, but they look pretty. Don't purchase unless you have a backup source (shade, blinds or tinted windows). November 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by sara91 Perfection I love my curtains. This is for my front room in my home. They really give the room something extra without taking away from everything else that I have in the room. It looks great! Also, I got them on sale for 50%. ALSO, it was my Birthday and I got the $10 off reward for the sake of it being my Birthday and all. STEAL! October 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by crazyjan Just what I wanted I needed panels for a living room area which would still allow natural light and these work perfectly. Good value. September 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by FrankieSaysRelax Lovely curtains! We bought 4 panels of these curtains to cover 3 large windows in our master bedroom. The windows are quite big and we love the natural light so we didn't want any blinds blocking them. These curtains are the perfect solution as no one can fully see in (our bedroom is upstairs anyways) but they are thin enough that a LOT of natural light comes through. I got them during the curtain sale at 40% off and they feel like a steal. :) June 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by kk1111 Great curtains I bought these curtains for a window that had a great view. I wanted to soften the sides of the windows without blocking the view or too much light. They let in filtered light and add texture to the room. I used two panels on each side of the window for more fullness. Good product. April 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Poola Love 'em! These curtains remind me of sails on an old-fashioned sailing ship. They look great and go well with casual furniture of any color. January 25, 2014

An episode of mild diarrhoea is defined as any soft and unformed or watery bowel movements not fulfilling the definition of AAD.
- Severity of diarrhoea in patients ingesting L. reuteri versus placebo [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Severity of diarrhoea in patients ingesting L. reuteri versus placebo is measured as the total number of soft and unformed or watery bowel movements during an episode of diarrhoea and the presence of blood and mucus in faeces.
- Frequency of stool samples positive for C. difficile toxin A and B [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Frequency of stool samples positive for C. difficile toxin A and B at baseline, when presenting with diarrhoea during the study period, and at the follow-up 21 days post-antibiotic treatment is done to detect possible clearance of C. difficile, in patients ingesting L. reuteri versus placebo.
- Frequencies of other gastrointestinal symptoms [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Frequencies of other gastrointestinal symptoms during antibiotic use and 7 and 21 days after cessation of antibiotic use, in the L. reuteri group versus placebo is to be assessed by the validated GSRS score (Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Score, Svedlund et al., 1988).
|Study Start Date:
|February 2011
|Study Completion Date:
|September 2013
|Primary Completion Date:
|June 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
|No Intervention: Placebo, antibiotic, diarrhea
Placebo Comparator: L. reuteri, Antibiotic, diarrhoea
L. reuteri will be ingested by patients on antibiotic therapy, effect of probiotic on AAD will be assessed.
Dietary Supplement: L reuteri in children on antibiotics
Each patient will be assigned to receive either a probiotic supplement containing 1 x 10 8 CFU Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 in the form of one chewable tablet once per day (BioGaia AB, Stockholm, Sweden) or placebo, identical in taste and appearance. The probiotic or placebo will be taken 2 hours after lunch each day, during the entire period of antibiotic treatment and for an additional 7 days.
Detailed Description:
Antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD) occurs in up to 25% of all individuals receiving antibiotics (Bartlett, 2002). In hospitalized patients, AAD is related to significant increases in mortality, length of stay, and cost of medical care (McFarland, 2006). Twenty-nine percent of hospitalized patients may develop diarrhoea after antibiotic use; therefore, identifying strategies to minimize antibiotic-associated diarrhoea could be of significant medical and economic advantage (McFarland, 1998). A promising tool in this area is the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri

7 U.S. Code § 4002 - Alcohol processor grain reserve program
(a) Definitions
As used in this section—
(2) The term "processor" means any person engaged within the United States in the business of manufacturing grain into alcohol for use as a fuel either by itself or in combination with some other product.
(3) The terms "agricultural grain" and "grain" mean any agricultural commodity
(4) The term "producer storage program" means the producer storage program provided for under section 1445e [1] of this title.
(b) Loans on stored grain; processors eligible
To assist processors in obtaining a dependable supply of grain at reasonable prices, the Secretary may formulate and administer a program under which processors purchasing and storing grain needed by them for manufacturing into alcohol for use as a fuel may obtain a loan from the Secretary on such grain. Loans under this section may be made available only to processors that
(1) operate small scale biomass energy projects financed in whole or in part by the United States Government or any agency thereof, and
(2) as determined by the Secretary, are otherwise unable to obtain a dependable supply of grain at reasonable prices for use in such projects.
(c) Terms and conditions of processor grain reserve program and producer storage program
Except as otherwise provided in this section, loans made under this section to carry out the processor grain reserve program may be made on the same terms and conditions as loans made to carry out the producer storage program.
(d) Amount of loan
The amount of the loan that the Secretary may make to an eligible processor at any time on any quantity of grain purchased by the processor shall be determined by multiplying the price support loan rate in effect for such grain at the time the loan is made times the quantity of grain purchased by the processor. The quantity of grain on which one or more loans may be outstanding at any time in the case of any processor may not exceed the estimated quantity of grain needed by such processor for one year of operation.
(e) Replacement of removed grain
Whenever any quantity of grain stored in the processor grain reserve under this section is removed from storage by a processor, the processor may be required to replace such grain with an equal quantity, within such period of time as the Secretary shall prescribe by regulation, or repay that portion of the loan represented by the quantity of grain removed from storage.
(f) Purposes for which grain to be used
Grain on which an eligible processor has received a loan under this section may not be used for any purpose other than the manufacture of alcohol for use as a fuel, and the Secretary shall establish such safeguards as the Secretary deems necessary to assure that such grain is not used for any other purpose and is not used in any manner that would unduly depress, manipulate, or curtail the free market in such grain.
(g) Terms and conditions of loan; security; nonrecourse loans
Loans made under this section shall be made subject to such terms and conditions and subject to such security as the Secretary deems appropriate, except that such loans may not be made as nonrecourse loans.
(h) Payment for cost of storage; repayment of loans
In carrying out the processor grain reserve program under this section, the Secretary may—
(1) provide for the payment to processors of such amounts as the Secretary determines appropriate to cover the cost of storing grain held in the processor grain reserve, except that in no event may the rate of the payment paid under this clause for any period exceed the rate paid by the Secretary under the producer storage program for the same period; and
(2) prescribe conditions under which the Secretary may require processors to repay loans made under this section, plus accrued interest thereon, refund amounts paid to the processors for storage, and require the processors to pay such additional interest and other charges as may be required by regulation in the event any processor fails to abide by the terms and conditions of the loan or any regulation prescribed under this section.
(i) Announcement of terms and conditions of program
The Secretary shall announce the terms and conditions of the processor grain reserve program as far in advance of making loans as practicable.
(j) Use of Commodity Credit Corporation facilities
The Secretary may use the facilities of the Commodity Credit Corporation to carry out this section.
(k) Authorization of appropriations; appropriation acts as determining amount and extent of loans; expiration of authority to make loans
There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out this section. Any loans made under this section shall be made to such extent and such amounts as provided in appropriation Acts. The authority to make loans under this section shall expire five years after December 3, 1980.

Mitral (MI-tral) valve prolapse (MVP) is a condition in which the heart's mitral valve doesn't work well. The flaps of the valve are "floppy" and don't close tightly. These flaps normally help seal or open the valve.
Much of the time, MVP doesn't cause any problems. Rarely, blood can leak the wrong way through the floppy valve. This can lead to palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain, and other symptoms. (Palpitations are feelings that your heart is skipping a beat, fluttering, or beating too hard or too fast.)
Normal Mitral Valve
The mitral valve controls blood flow between the upper and lower chambers of the left side of the heart. The upper chamber is called the left atrium (AY-tree-um). The lower chamber is called the left ventricle (VEN-trih-kul).
The mitral valve allows blood to flow from the left atrium into the left ventricle, but not back the other way. The heart also has a right atrium and ventricle, separated by the tricuspid (tri-CUSS-pid) valve.
With each heartbeat, the atria contract and push blood into the ventricles. The flaps of the mitral and tricuspid valves open to let blood through. Then, the ventricles contract to pump the blood out of the heart.
When the ventricles contract, the flaps of the mitral and tricuspid valves close. They form a tight seal that prevents blood from flowing back into the atria.
For more information, go to the Health Topics How the Heart Works article. This article contains animations that show how your heart pumps blood and how your heart's electrical system works.
Mitral Valve Prolapse
In MVP, when the left ventricle contracts, one or both flaps of the mitral valve flop or bulge back (prolapse) into the left atrium. This can prevent the valve from forming a tight seal.
As a result, blood may leak from the ventricle back into the atrium. The backflow of blood is called regurgitation (re-GUR-jih-TA-shun).
MVP doesn't always cause backflow. In fact, most people who have MVP don't have backflow and never have any related symptoms or problems. Their mitral valves still can form a tight seal.
When backflow does occur, it can cause shortness of breath, irregular heartbeats called arrhythmias (ah-RITH-me-ahs), or chest pain.
Mitral Valve Prolapse
Backflow can get worse over time. It can change the heart's size and raise pressure in the left atrium and lungs. Backflow also raises the risk of heart valve infections.
Medicines can treat troublesome MVP symptoms and help prevent complications. Some people will need surgery to repair or replace their mitral valves.
MVP once was thought to affect as much as 5 to 15 percent of the population. Researchers now believe that many people who were diagnosed with MVP in the past didn't actually have a faulty mitral valve.
They may have had a slight bulging of the valve flaps due to other conditions, such as dehydration (lack of fluid in the body) or a small heart. However, their valves were normal, and little or no backflow of blood occurred.
Diagnosing MVP is more precise now because of a test called echocardiography (EK-o-kar-de-OG-ra-fee). This test allows doctors to easily see MVP and detect troublesome backflow.
As a result, researchers now think that less than 3 percent of the population actually has MVP. They believe an even smaller percentage has serious complications from the condition.
Most people who have MVP have no symptoms or medical problems and don't need treatment. They're able to lead normal, active lives; they may not even know they have the condition.
A small number of people who have MVP may need medicine to relieve their symptoms. Very few people who have MVP need heart valve surgery to repair their mitral valves.
Rarely, MVP can cause problems such as arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) or infective endocarditis (EN-do-kar-DI-tis). Endocarditis is an infection of the inner lining of the heart chambers and valves. Bacteria that enter the bloodstream can cause the infection.

+Like the costumes and digital backgrounds.
+Attractive Models
+A good amount of content
+Natural looking girls. Refreshing to find a site isn't full of pornstars with massive bolt on's.
-Bonus Studio sets aren't really a bonus. It's the exact same set just a different background.
-They have plastered everywhere on the site that it's $14.99 a month, when in reality the 1st Month is $24.99 then renews at $14.99.
-Videos are pretty much all the same and feel like a after thought.
Bottom Line:
I decided to bite the bullet and join the site to post a review. I'm reviewing this site as a $24.99 site, it'd be a higher rating it it was actually only $14.99 a month from the start. Overall this is primarily a photo site. Yes it does have videos but they are really all the same and I feel a after thought. With it being a primary photo site, you'd think the photo specs would be top notch. However that's not really the case. While the photos look great, they are only 1500x1000. By today's standards I'd consider that about 1/2 the size they really need to be.
Images are available in whole gallery as a zip set or to download individually.
Overall I like the site. I like that's it's something different. Can I recommend it at $25 a month? No. I'd give the site a mid 80's if it was $14.99 from the start.
Image Specs: 1500x1000, each gallery also includes a *bonus* Studio set that is the exact same as the main set but without the digital backdrop and instead all have the plain white backdrop.
Videos: Not sure on specs, downloaded on my andriod phone. Don't have a PC at moment. All videos are exactly the same. 6-7 minutes in length. All videos have the same plan white backdrop. Each video follows same layout. Model strips out of costume. Touches herself alittle, possibly spreads and dances alittle and that's the whole video.

+Great content and tons of it
+Good quality videos (720x480 @ 1500kbps)
+Access to 26 sites.
+Most of the 26 sites are updated weekly, a few aren't updated anymore.
+Nice price from TBP, $17.95 a month. Otherwise it's $24.95 a month.
-Doesn't use CCBill (Uses Secure Billing Worldwide, SBW)
-Pictures are nothing more then vid caps and poor quality (900x602)
-Doesn't allow use of Download Managers
Bottom Line:
I really liked the content of
and based on content alone, the site would rate high 80's or low 90's.
However what kills me about the site is that download managers aren't allowed. Well technically you can use them but you can only download 3 movies at once. You cannot que up 10 or so movies and let them download throughout the day. If you do que up lets say 5 movies, once it gets to the 4th or 5th one, it'll end up saving it as a .html file. If you open that it says "Your BigMovie link has expired! Please revisit the update page to regenerate a new one" So it comes down to only being allowed to download 3-4 files at a time. I don't know how it works with the smaller files, as I have no interest in downloading a ton of them when they have the full links available.
is pretty much a video only site. The pictures are nothing more then vidcaps and are 900x602. The videos are good quality, being 720x480 @ 1500kbps. The videos are available to download in 4 smaller parts or in 1 big wmv.
Overall, if they'd get rid of the stupid time expiring link to download the movies, the site would be great. However the fact that you can't even download more then 3 files without the link expiring, makes it a no go for me. So if you like to just que up a Manager with 10 or so files and leave it for the day, then I can't recommend this site.

+Nicole is hot.
+Nice mixture in the scenes (solo, b/g, and a few g/g)
+Included in the
bonus sites.
-Hasn't been updated with new NG stuff since June of 08. All the new updates are rehashed stuff from when she was NaughyCoco.
-Photos and videos could be better. All the photos are 768x1024.
-New videos decent quality (640x480 @ 1627kbps) The older Coco stuff is pretty bad @ 320x240 and from 700-900 kbps range, it seems to always be different.
Bottom Line:
.com seems to be one of the many sites that I've been a member of recently that has fallen off the face of the earth.
Ealier reviews comment on her interactivity with fans, however I can't comment on that. As there seems to be none anymore. I've even tried to email her a few times, with no success.
The photos and videos are decent quality but nothing that will strain your PC to run. In todays day and age of 3000 or 4000px images, NG's 768x1024 seems a bit behind the times. The only advantage to that is that all the images, even the older Naughty Coco ones, come in at the size.
The videos are on the low end of what I'd expect for a site in 2009, the newer stuff being 640x480/1627kbps. The older(or recently updated) Naughty Coco stuff is 320x240 and between 700-900kbps.
It is one of the bonus sites included in Twisty's so I'd recommend you sign up through
as it'll save you $5.
The store, which on her page says it offers signed dvd's/photos/posters doesn't work. When you go there it's completely empty.
Overall I think I just seemed to miss what appears to have been a great website. Since the site is included with
, I can't really knock it too bad. As your not paying $20 for just this one site. However coming from a fan of Nicole, if your only interested in this site and haven't been a member before, then I think it'd be worth it for a month. However if you've been a member of
before, then I really don't think it's worth the money. I'd have no problem paying the $20 for this site alone, if it ever gets back to what it seemed to be in early to mid 2008.

+Carmen is very hot
+Images are decent quality (792x1200)
+Super HD videos are decent quality (1280x720 @5000 kbps)
-So called regular HD videos are fine if there isn't a "Super HD" option available. For some reason if there's both a Super HD and HD option, the HD version is 16x9 that's been zoomed out and made 4:3. So even on a widescreen monitor it's only 4:3 with huge black bars at top and bottom. Why they done that, I have no freaking clue.
-Site is pretty much dead. Pictures haven't been updated in over a year (March 5th 08) and the videos haven't been updated in 6 months (10-22-08). The only thing updated in 09 has been webcam archive.
-Expects you to pay another $18 to get two seperate video zip sets. Not sure if that's for both or only one. I have no interest in that BS.
Bottom Line:
is another site that could be soo much better then what it is but the people behind it appear to be more interested in just raking in money then actually putting out a quality side.
The site appears to have turned into nothing more then a ad for
. A webcam site that charges you anywhere from $3-12. For how long or for what, I have no clue. I'm not into webcams. Quality is always horrible.
The photos and the so called Super HD videos are good quality as mentioned in the Pros. As mentioned earlier, if there is both a Super HD and a HD option, the HD option is 16x9 zoomed out to 4:3. So even on a 16:9 screen, it'll actually be 4:3 with the black bars on top, bottom and sides. If there is no Super HD option, then the HD videos are actually widescreen, 1280x720 @ 5000kbps.
Her earlier sets are non-nude. She has roughly 76 movies on her site and 36 are non-nude. So just under half. Her older videos are available in mpg format. Unfortunately right clicking and properties doesn't show me any info on what quality it is, however it looks comparable to VHS tapes.
She also has archived webcam shows, which is the only thing that's been updated in 09. Those are available in 320x240 @ 447kbps. So not any quality worth keeping.
The site also try's to sell you other zipset galleries, one is a webcam video with her and Ashley and the other is a HD video of her, for $18. Not sure if that's for both or only for one but trying to charge me additional for extra content for a site that's non-updating doesn't settle well with me.
The site could easily be summed up just by looking at her journal, which hasn't been updated since 2007. This site is evidently of no priority to Carmen or Spunky Productions. The fact that they still charge $24 is ridiculous.
Carmen is hot but her site is a sure fire miss. It's nothing more then a one month hit and run at best. And that's as long as you go into it knowing that you are pretty much spending $24 for what could be a months worth of update content for other sites.
LV Panty

+Nice Quality Photos (1152x1728)
+A decent panty site.
+Some pretty good looking models
-Doesn't look like the site is updated anymore. No dates on the updates to know how old they are. But I haven't seen anything new in the month I've been there.
-Horrible quality vidoes (720x480 765kbs)
-Only 46 videos.
-All the photos look pretty much the same.
-No members link on the main page
Bottom Line:
LV Panties is a decent site, that is if you are a panties fan. However it no longer appears to be updated anymore. There are no dates by the updates to know just when it quit but in the month I was a member I haven't seen anything new. From the layout and quality of the vids, I'd be guessing it's been 3-4 years since anything was updated. But again, I'm not positive on that and there's no way to know.
The photos are pretty much the only good thing about LVPanties, as they only have 46 vids at a crappy 720x480 @765kbs, so the only bright spot are the photos. Resolution wise, the photos are to the low end of todays standards at 1152x1728. They have what they call closeup gallerys, the photos are all in landscape, however they are 1152x768 size. So they are pretty much useless compared to the regular galleries. The photos are not available in a zip and there are normally 50-60 images per gallery.
The biggest problem I had with the photos is the fact that it was always shot in a bedroom or a bathroom. And it was always the same bedroom or bathroom, so it made the photos all blend together. 90% of the photos are shot in front of plain jane bare white walls. Makes for a very uneventful photo.
They do not have a member link on the main page. I had to search back through my history to find the link. Thankfully I hadn't cleared it out in a while. So unless you bookmark the members page, good luck finding it again.
In Closing, LVPanties is a decent site for a one month stay. There's really no point for anything else.

+Newer videos are good quality. 08 & 09 videos are 3000 kbps (1280x720), 07 and before are 2000 kbps (640x480).
+Most images are in high resolutions and good quality. Sizes range from 1000px to 4000px.
+Great site layout and navigation.
+Easy search function. By model name, clothing, etc.
-Can only view one image at a time.
-Must download zips at once, no queing up in a download manager & no pausing/resuming.
-No option to default to bringing up all thumbnails at once, instead of default 20 per page.
-No consistency to images, a 06 set will be available in 4000px, while a 08 set will only be in 2000px.
-Only uses Epoch.
Bottom Line:
is in the same line as
, a glamour style site featuring softcore & hardcore. I really liked the site navigation and the ability to search for clothing type or cup size. And both the images and videos are good quality, I had a few problems that I just couldn't get past.
First being that each image must be viewed 1 at a time. If you use Firefox, there's no way to right click and open in new tab for each image your interested in. When you do that it just brings up the full gallery again. So that means you either waste time going photo by photo, which is opened up in a new window, or you download the full zip and then sort through the ones you want. I've never been the kind to download the full zips, I prefer to just keep the images I like.
The problem with downloading the zips, is the fact that you can't que them up into a download manager. There is also no resuming of the zips. Videos seem to do fine queing up and downloading but for some reason you can't with the zips.
Each gallery comes up as default, 20 thumbs per page. You can change it to 50, 100 or all but there's no way to make all the default.
One other problem with images seems to be that there is no consistency. For example a 06 gallery may be available in 4000px, while a 08 gallery may only be available in 2000px. Or it may be 3500px or 2500px, there just seems to be no consistency to image size. It's all over the map.
They have a rating system I really like. You can rate the model, photosets & videosets. If you've been a member of a site like
before, then you've seen most of the models. I guess that's one reason why it was just kinda blah to me. Different site and galleries but still most of the same models.
You do get access to bonus sites:
.com &
.com. Some are still updated regulary, looks like mainly Sexby-
, others look like they haven't been updated in awhile.
Overall for the TBP discount of $19.95,
is a good site. Unfortunately the quirks about downloading the photos and/or zips is enough to make me not stay a member. If your the type that downloads all zips and don't mind not being able to que them up, then I'm sure you'll love the site. Unfortunately, that's a huge turn off for me and I felt the site just wasn't worth the hassle required to download the images.

+Good price ($19.95 not rebilled or $14.95 rebilled)
+Good quality photos (1333x2000px)
+On average updated almost daily.
-No videos
-No search function
-Navigation is horrible (no models page) Everything is sorted by update. So while a model may have 6 different sets on there, there is no way to find out untill you get to that update.
-Evertyhing is sorted by year, then by update date.
Bottom Line:
My main problem with
is the same problem I have with
, each model starts out nude. Or if she's not full nude, she will be within 5 images. Then you have 40 images that all start to look the same.
The navigation is horrible. You can't search for body type, hair color or even model name. Everything is listed first by year, since 2005, then by date that they were added. So if you find a model you like, there is no way to see her other sets or even to find out if she has other sets. Technically you can cheat and look at the web address to see what gallery you are in, then you'd know if they have any other sets
available. You can then change the gallery number to go to the other ones but frankly in 2009 you shouldn't have to do that to see the other sets. EAch model should have a main page.
Most of the models are pretty attractive and the photos are decent quality (1333x2000px) but there are no videos. No users forum. No bonus sites or anything. All you've got are 5 links on the side for update year.
Overall if you want nothing but full nude women, then you'd probably like
. But if you are the kind that likes the art of stripping, then I'd recommend you stay away.

+High Quality videos.
+Beautiful selection of young models, with different body types and sizes. They don't all look the same.
+Intimate videos with
Real Orgasms
+Lots of public nudity
+Normally 3-4 galleries per model update, around 60 images per gallery.
+2-4 videos per model update.
-Pricey ($29.95 per month, I got offered $20 per month when I went to cancel)
-Images could stand to be bigger. Currently are 1062x1600 for portrait and 1600x1062 for landscape. Not as high quality as some other sites.
-They do have BigPics, where are 3000x4000 or 2000x3000 but it's a seperate page from it's self and no way to know from the model update if they are available for her or not.
-No search function. Have to go by update or models first name.
-Not all models are actually first timers. For example a recent update was Franziska, who I saw alot on
ALS Scan
when I was recently a member to there.
-Older videos and pictures not that good of quality.
-Only updated on average 1-2x per week.
-Some videos are behind the scenes of the photo shoot, so you hear the great 3,2,1 camera click.
Bottom Line:
FTV is a site that I was a member of awhile back and liked back then but it was a bit too pricey for me. The site can get alittle too extreme for me (huge toys or fisting, etc) but decided to give it another try.
Photo's: In todays day and age of high resolution and high quality, FTV's photos are step behind the competition. Current updates photos are 1062x1600 for portrait and 1600x1062 for landscape. While updates in 07 where, 797x1200. 06 where 712x1072. So as you can see, while FTV keeps improving every year, it still doesn't compare to sites that have 3000 or 4000px images. But FTV does offer BigPics. They are 3000x4000px or 2000x3000px. But it's only of select galleries/models. I don't know why FTV doesn't do what ALS Scans do and offer two download sizes, normal res and high res. Since offering BigPics proves they have them available. For $30 a month, not offering them as standard is unacceptable.
Videos: 08 videos are available in 8000kb/s HD WMV's, 3000kb/s WMV's & Divx vidoes. Anything prior to December 07, is available in 2100kb/s WMV & Divx. The 8000kb/s videos are great quality, unfortunately my pc can't play them smoothly. So I'm stuck with the 3000kb/s. The quality is pretty good but not as good as some 720p videos from other sites. According to FTV's site, here are the following specs:
WMV Ultra HD 1440x1080 Resolution 8000kb/sec bitrate
WMV HD 720x480 Resolution 3000kb/sec bitrate
WMV 640x480 Resolution 700-2000kb/sec bitrate
Some videos are behind scenes of the photoshoots and you get to hear the lovely 3,2,1 and then the snap of the camera. However the cameraman does do a decent job of not talking too much, unless it's the interview video, he normally just lets the girls do what they want.
The videos are normally split up into 5-10 5-7 min secments. No option for full scene download.
The site could use a update in navigation. As of now you can either list by update or by model name in alphabetical order. There no way to search for a name or to find a model with a certain body type.
Some models are also not first time video girls, some can be seen on other pages, before their FTV shoots. However the models like that seem to be few.
In closing I really like FTV and it's probably one of my favorite sites. However there are changes that need to be done to break the low 90's number. They need to start putting the images up in their default resolution, instead just putting select images in a zip and slapping them up on the BigPics page. Add the user forum and drop the price. Right now $29.95 is flat out too high for any site that isn't a network site.
If they would do both of those and drop the price to $5-10 then I think it could easily be a mid to high 90's site.
In closing if you like public nudity or like real orgasms, then I'd recommend you give FTV a shot.
ALS Scan

+Helps a charity (The only site I've ever known to do so)
+Great quality images(2592x3888 portrait/3888x2592 for landscape).
+Great quality videos. Had Divx (which my pc wouldn't play smoothly) and 720p MP4 videos.
+Most models are small chested and pretty skinny. Very seldom are any models C cup or bigger.
-Website must have been one of the first ever built and boy does it show. WAY past due for a upgrade.
-No easy navigation.
-Most vidoes are just behind the scenes of the photo shoots.
Bottom Line:
As you can tell by the name of the site, every model is 100% shaved. At first it's pretty cool but then it starts to make every photo set and every model start to look the same. I love the fact that they have alot of smaller chested girls but after a while, they start to feel the same. Could really use some variation.
There are normally 100 or so photos per set. And the photos are great high quality images. The first 3/4 of the set is your normally glam style shoots but the last quarter can get pretty strange. From sticking normal every day items (food, end of a shovel, etc) in the pussy to pissing. Pissing seems to be a pretty big niche on the site, as it seems to happen alot.
The videos are great quality but most are behind the scens of the photo shoots. So you've always got the lovely cameraman talking through out the whole thing. When will these companies learn? Get rid of that shit.
Navigation for the site is complete crap.You've got either updates or all models. No way to search by cup size, hair color or even model name. To find certain model you have to go to the all models page and do a find within IE or Firefox.
For the price ($29.95 1st month/then $24.95) I think the site is past due for a upgrade. While the images are great quality, due to the navigation and the constant talking during videos, unless a your a image fan you'll probably be disappointed. If your a video fan like me, you'll quickly get sick of hearing the dumbass guys talking.

+Great price. ($19.95 from here or you can find it for $17.95 from another site)
+Updated 2-3 times a week.
+Very helpfull members forum, where the webmaster will even reply.
+Bonus guest model section. Gives samples of other sites.
+Nice and easy navigation. By style of set, body type or even just searching for the models name.
+Good selection of solo, girl/girl & boy/girl
-Some girls are the same one you've seen from other sites but with different names.
-Images are 1333x2000 for portrait and 1999x1333 for landscape.
-Newer Videos are 704x396, older videos are 640x480.
-Security doesn't allow me to download images using DownThemAll download manager.
-Too many images per set, where 3-4 in a row look almost identical.
Bottom Line:
For the price of under $20 a month,
Teen Dreams
is a very good site. And if it wasn't for economic reasons, I'd still be a member.
Compared to other websites,
Teen Dreams
is a bit behind on the quality of both the video and images. The images are good quality and decent size but don't compare to other sites that have 3000px and 4000px images. Both the new and older video are decent quality, however non are true HD or HD quality. I'd consider most videos to be near DVD quality.
One other nitpicking I didn't like was the fact that I couldn't use DownThemAll in Firefox for the images. It has a cool feature where you save the first image as "name" and then each following image would get a number behind it in order. The webmaster was quick to reply as to why, since they were recently hacked, it was a double security thing. Unfortunately there was no way around it, except don't use the download manager. Their suggestion was to just download the zips, unfortunately they normally have 100+ images per set. However there always seemed to be 3-4 in a row that looked almost identical and could have been left out. It just made it a bit more of a pain to download images, then other sites.
Teen Dreams
is a site worth checking out, you can't go wrong for $20.
Girls Gone Wild
Was a member approx.

prior to this review.
+If you have seen any of the videos, then you know what to expect.
+Normal Girls Gone Wild content. Alot of flashing and alittle bit of lesbian play.
-Pricey $$, frankly for the content it's a rip off.
-ALL videos are streaming. If you do work around it to get it to download, it has DRM. So you'll have to go through more hassles to remove that.
-Videos are crappy quality. Was probably decent 5-6 years ago but to today standards, not up to par.
-Photos are pretty much nothing but screen caps and pretty poor quality at that.
-Videos they have available in the members area are not the ones shown on the main page. The ones in the members area appear to be 3-4 years old and are the ones that they can't make any more money on.
Bottom Line:
This has to be one of the biggest ripoffs I've ever seen for a adult site. $30 for a site with crappy screen shot photos and only lets you stream videos? That may have been okay back in the early days of the internet but not in the year 2008. It's been a bit since I was a member and I don't remember the exact size of the videos but once blown to full screen, they weren't very good.
If you want Girls Gone Wild content, Amazon has Blu Ray dvd's for $13-$20 and regular dvd's are even cheaper. You'd be better off buying a few of those for the same price as a month of this site. I can guantee that the quality will be light years beyond whats available on the website.
Again sorry for not being specific on video and photos sizes. I've just recently started paying attention to those details.

Update History
Reason: Wanted to add specs to photos and videos. This review also applys to the other Girls of sites.
+You get acess to 6 sites. All are clones of each other layout wise but different content. Some models are on 2 or 3 pages but it's different sets. You get access to: Fresh Faces, Sexy Wives, Student Bodies, All Naturals, Women Of, Busty Babes.
+Playboy quality
+Great quality HD vidoes
+If you do the monthly option, after 3 months you can add another site for free. That site can be another Playboy site (Cyber Club, Special Editions, etc) or even a more explict Spice site.
+Easy to change, add or cancel subscriptions right there on the website.
+Seems to show all of the womans body more then the Magazine or Cyber Club. Videos don't seem to be as overedited as much as the Cyber Club.
-Not updated daily. But between all the sites, it's updated about a couple times a week.
-Can't view large photos from the site. You have to download the zip. Large photos aren't as large as other sites. About as large as the XL in the cyber club. EDIT: See specs at bottom of review.
-Layout kinda sucks. Just all the models headhots on the main page. Seems the number of model slots are limited and after that they seem to disappear. There is no archive or anything like that.
Bottom Line:
If you like Playboy or the Cyber Club, odds are you'll like these sites. They aren't updated as much as I'd like but they photos and vidoes do seem to show alot more of the ladys then what they do in the Cyber Club. To me they aren't as overedited, especially the videos.Each model normally has 1 HD video, a few have 2. Most videos are just a strip tease and some closeups of the body. The vidoes aren't just behind the scenes of the photoshoot. They are normally completley different outfit and layout then eiher photoset.
The one huge downside seems to be that there is a set number of slots available for content and after that's full the oldest seems to just disappear each time new content is added. There is no archive or search function.
Overall it's pretty much just a extension of every other Playboy site. You know what to expect. But if you stay a member long enough you can get all of Playboys sites for $19.99 a month, which for this site alone is kinda overpriced but for 2-3 of their sites or 1 of the Spice sites, it really isn't a bad deal.
EDIT: I just recently canceled but now that I know a bit more about spec talks, wanted to add photo and video specs. Photos are in two sizes, on the site they can be viewed and downloaded in 611x917. If you download the large zip set they are 1152x1728. So as you can see, why they are decent quality, they aren't huge like Playboy wants you to believe. There are only roughly 24-30 images per set.
The videos are in widescreen HD WMV's. They are 1280x720 at 3000kbps. Most videos are around 3-5 mins long. They include a strip tease and then some closeups of the body.
Over the past couple months, while I was a member, I find myself visiting the Playboy sites less and less. There are just too few images per gallery and Playboy makes sure you only see what they want. If they merged this site with the Cyber Club then it might be worth it but right now in this economy, I can't see this site being worth $20. Unless you really like softcore glamour Playboy style images and videos.

Update History
Reason: Wanted to add specs to photos and videos.
+It's Playboy. Pretty much a extension the magazine.
+Finally upgraded and added a XL photo option. EDIT: See specs at bottom of review.
+Updated daily. And also has daily double, 2 pictures that change daily.
+HD Videoes that using Firefox can be downloaded with no problems.
+If you do the monthly option, after 3 months you can add another site for free. That site can be another Playboy site (Network sites, Special Editions, etc) or even a more explict Spice site.
+Easy to change, add or cancel subscriptions right there on the website.
-It's Playboy lol. So the photoshoping is still pretty prevelant. They seem to have a habit of trying to shade or hide the pussy if they do show it. You'll very seldom see a lady squatting down with full frontal nudity, unless she has a inner pussy.
-While the photos are finally a respectable size, they still aren't as big as other sites.
-Most Celebrity pictorials aren't available.
-Videos are great quality but they seem to have a habit of going super slow closeup from the face to the belly button and then zoom past the bottom half. Would be nice to see them pay equal attention to all of the ladys body.
Bottom Line:
It's Playboy, if you don't like the content of the magazine then you won't like the site. Even though some have said all pictorials are available online, they aren't. Some celebrity ones like Christy Hemme or Pam Anderson 1994 spread isn't available online. Which is fine for older sets but even some of the newer ones, like UFC's Rachelle Leah which was in this months magazine, isn't available online. So if your joining for some celebrity pics, it can be hit or miss on whether it's available.
Photos are decent quality. I find the HD videos excellent quality. It just mainly comes down to how much they show as to rather I keep it and the over editing of the vidoes can really get on your nerves.
The site is updated daily with atleast a daily double, 2 random photos, but it normally is also updated with a new photoset. There is a lot of content but only the new stuff is available in the XL photos. Some of the older vidoes aren't hd but they are widescreen and look decent.
The one huge upside to any Playboy site is how easy it is to cancel. Just log in and go to "Member Services". From there you can cancel or renew any subscription. Playboy also has a loyalty program. Stay a member for 3 months and you can add another site free of charge. You can repeat the process every 3 months. Or if your only interest in the Cyber Club, you can save a decent amount of money doing the annual plan.
Overall if you like the content Playboy Magazine then you'll like the Cyber Club.
EDIT: I just recently canceled but now that I know a bit more about spec talks, wanted to add photo and video specs. Most "of the week" galleries have 1 set of 15-20 images with no video. "Of the month" galleries normally have 3 sets of 30-40 images with 3-4 videos. Photos are not available to download in zip. The photos default to coming up in medium, so you'll constantly have to change the photos to XL. They need to allow the option to make XL default.So as you can see, why they are decent quality, they aren't huge like Playboy wants you to believe.
The videos are available in Quicktime, WMV, & HD. Both quicktime and wmv want to stream but with Firefox there are ways around to download it. However I normally stuck with the HD videos. The HD videos are .mov files. Unfortunatly I don't know how to find out info on .mov files but they are widescreen and listed as 720p. Most videos are around 3-5 mins long. They include a strip tease and then some closeups of the body.
Over the past couple months, while I was a member, I find myself visiting the Playboy sites less and less. There are just too few images per gallery and Playboy makes sure you only see what they want. If they merged this site with the Girls of network sites then it might be worth it but right now in this economy, I can't see this site being worth $20. Unless you really like softcore glamour Playboy style images and videos

+High quality photos.
+Good quality vidoes with closeups of girls during orgasm.
-Pricey $$$ for a month to month. Gets better if you pay for 2 months at once.
-Blair Witch porn. Dude has problems keeping camera still.
-Can't seem to decide if he wants to focus on her face or pussy. So in turn you get the top of her mouth in the upper left corner and the top of her pussy in the bottom right. So in turn your pretty much looking at her belly.
-One of those great camerman who won't shut the F up.
-Not updated enough and he seems to have gotten stuck on shooting 3-4 certain models
Bottom Line:
My biggest poroblem with
Ron Harris
Studio is his video work. He seems to not be able to decide what he wants to focus on. So in turn you end up focusing on her belly most of the time. He also has a really hard time keeping camera still. Not sure if he's trying to jack it while taping them or what but it makes Blair Witch or Cloverfield look they were taped on a tripod. On top of that, he doesn't know when to shut up.
It seems from looking at the updates that he's starting focusing on a certin 3-4 models. And even with that, there just aren't enough updates.
Overall every once in a while I'd come across a video that he'd be less jerky and keep it focused down below for the big O. But that seemed to be few and far between.
EDIT:As for the videos they are available in 720p and 1080p to download. I've never had problems playing hd videos on my pc but the 1080p wouldn't play on my machine. Quality was good for the 720p if you could get past the stuff I said in my review. As for how many, just depended on the model. Some like his main girl Kara(who he shoots alot compared to everyone else) had probably 10-12, while most girls had 2-3.
While the videos look great, I couldn't get past the jerky cam, bad zoom and him talking all the time.

+TONS of content
+Good mixture of solo, girl/girl & boy/girl.
+Updated daily with 2-3 sets.
+You get access to a few other sites as well. Main one for me is
-No HD videos. However the November treat is in atleast widescreen but quality still isn't in HD.
-Only allows you to download 1 video at a time using a download manager. If your doing something while downloading, I've had it timeout on me and restart the download.
-Can not resume downloads using Firefox DownThemAll.
-Photos are decent quality but not as high resolution as some other sites (
-Too often they will go straight from taking off their panties to using a dildo.
Bottom Line:
I've only been a member fo
for about a month now. It'll take me forever to look at or download all the content available.
has a great mixture of solo, girl/girl & boy/girl sets. As of now
has no true HD videos. The November
Treat is in widescreen and much better quality then their normal 640x480 videos but still not as good as other true HD videos I've seen. Most of the videos found on
are 640x480, while there are a few that are 720xXXX.
The photos found on
are of good quality and a decent resolution. However they still aren't as big as photos found on some sites like
is updated with 2-3 sets per day. It also has a nice catalog system you can use to search for models. By name, or by breast size, clothing, girl/girl or boy/girl and many more.
If you are one who likes to setup a que to download 3,4,5 videos on a manager at night or during the day, then you will be disappointed. Using DownThemAll with Firefox, I can only download one video at a time. And it has to be using all of my connection, otherwise the connection will timeout and it'll restart downloading from 0. You can not pause your downloads.You also can not set a que and then come back a couple hours later and download them. As appears the adress changes, as it gives me a error and wont' download.
also uses the stupid squiggly word, which you'll have to fill in each time you log into the site. It's currently not working correctly, so they have disabled it. But I'm guessing they will get it working again shortly.
Overall, I'd highly recommend checking out
if your a photo fan. If your mainly a video fan, then as of right now I think your be disappointed.
UPDATE:I've decided to cancel after this month. I think the biggest disappointment about
is the photo and video quality. No HD video and no pics larger then 1500-2000px, where as some sites are up to 3000-4000px.
Overall I feel
moto is quantity over quality and couldn't really see it for the $24.95 price point.
Only Tease
Was a member approx.
2 months
prior to this review.
+High Quality photos
+Great mixture in styles of clothing.
+Updated daily.
+Has a nice catalog style. Makes it easy to search for what you want, rather that be full nude or blonde or etc.
-Really softcore. Too many models that don't even get full nude or if they do, they don't give you a good shot of their pussy.
-Videos are pretty much useless. Seem to be nothing more then behind the scenes videos of the photo shoots.
Bottom Line:
I really like
and the other Only sites. The one and only huge downside for me was that there were way too many photo sets that were either non nude or only topless. Being a fan of full frontal nudity, it seems 1 outta 5 models/sets would show full frontal nudity.
Only Tease
does have a option to search for "Full Figure Nude" but the problem with that is, that anytime a model takes off her panties, they label it as full figure nude. Even if they do nothing with the panties down but show ass.
Overall the Only Sites are ones that I'd sign up for once every 6 months for a month. There just isn't enough content to please me to stay a member month after month.

+High Quality photos
+HD Quality videos
+Lots of updates
+Good mix of models
-Every set pretty much starts off with the model already nude. No teasing and/or clothes at all.
-Each gallery is set up where the top 1/3 is the highest quality(normally 3000 or 4000px) the middle is 2nd highest and bottom 1/3 is lowest. Would be nice if you could set it up so each gallery automatically came up in the highest quality.
-With no clothing, all the sets seem to start running together and looking the same.
-And as others have stated, most of the photos don't seem to have much life.
-Videos appear to be nothing more then moving photoshoots. You'll get a few closeups but doesn't really seem to be much reason to watch them.
Bottom Line:
I logged into my Playboy Cyber Club account the other day and saw a offer for so much off a
subscription for Playboy subscribers. So figured I'd give it a shot. The quality of the site is outstanding, both photos and videos. Unfortuantly each set starts with the model fully nude. No clothes, lingerie, bra & panties or anything else like that. So after awhile each model and each of her sets start to blur together and feel the same.
While the photos are great quality, I didn't like how in the preview gallery the top 1/3 is the highest quality(normally 3000 or 4000px) the middle is 2nd highest and bottom 1/3 is lowest. Would be nice if you could set it up so each gallery automatically came up in the highest quality.
The vidoes are in HD and as good of qualty as other sites HD videos (Playboy,
). But with no clothing or anything else, there doesn't seem to really be much of a reason to watch the videos.
Overall the site is great at what it does. Nice quality photos and vidoes, which is a big selling point for me. Most of the models are very attractive. It's just the sets seem blah. With no clothing, the only real difference between each set is the background. I myself like the mixing it up that other sites do. So if you want nothing but nude women, then this site would be great for you. If you like any kind of tease, then I'd advise against

Reflections on "The Butterfly Effect: The Art and Performance of Social Transformation"04/14/2015
On January 25, 2015, at Saybrook's Spring Residential Conference for the Schools of Psychology and Interdisciplinary Inquiry, Clinical Psychology, and Organizational Leadership and Transformation, students and faculty put on a community-wide event, "The Butterfly Effect: The Art and Performance of Social Transformation."
Saybrook occupies a preeminent role at APA Division 32 conference03/06/2015
How represented is Saybrook at this month's Society for Humanistic Psychology Conference (March 26-29)? This represented:
- The conference is being chaired by our Provost, Carol Humphreys
- The hospitality suite is being organized by one of our faculty, Jason Dias
- One of the keynote speakers is Theopia Jackson, a member of our faculty
And that doesn't even mention the sessions!
Saybrook faculty and students will be everywhere, talking about some of the most relevant issues in the field. These include:
Do psychologists need a stronger code of ethics?02/19/2015
The world of psychology has been shocked – even scandalized – by the ongoing revelations that fully accredited and credentialed psychologists were not only complicit in creating regimens of torture for the government, but actually designed and implemented them.
The American Psychological Association will be meeting soon to come up with its own response to these issues, but it is clear to many psychologists that the professions standards for ethical behavior and research need a drastic overhaul.
One such psychologist is Marc Pilisuk, a leading peace psychologist and professor in the Transformative Social Change program at Saybrook University. Pilisuk is the author of "Who Benefits from Global Violence and War."
Pilisuk and two students of the program, Melissa Anderson-Hinn and Gianina Pellegrini, have recently authored a chapter on "Ethical Objectives and Values" in psychological research for the new book "Research Methods in Peace Psychology." (Published by Springer, now in press).
"Conventional standards for ethical research are important," Pilisuk's chapter acknowledges. "They fail, however, to highlight a potential for harm that may be occurring if we were to examine the broader context of each study."
Meet the new co-chair of Saybrook's School of Clinical Psychology!02/18/2015
Dr. Bonnie Settlage was recently named co-chair of Saybrook's School of Clinical Psychology, allowing long-time chair Shawn Rubin (the editor of the Journal of Humanistic Psychology) to return to teaching.
We're thrilled to welcome Dr. Settlage to her new position, and are pleased to introduce her here.
Could you briefly describe your professional/academic history?
I am currently serving as an adjunct faculty and the co-chair of the CP department at Saybrook. I am a licensed clinical psychologist in California. I received my BA in psychology from the University of California at Berkeley, and my MA and PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York (graduated 2006). In addition to Saybrook, I currently work as a clinical supervisor to clinical psychology doctoral students at the John George Psychiatric Pavilion in San Leandro, CA . From September 2008 to July 2014, I was at the American University in Cairo (AUC), Egypt. Most recently my position was as an Associate Professor of Practice in Psychology and the director of the Psychology Program at AUC. I also had a private practice in Cairo and served as a clinical supervisor at the African and Middle East Refugee Assistance NGO in Cairo. Before Egypt, I was a staff psychologist at Napa State Hospital where I worked with severely mentally ill patients with forensic commitments, such as "Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity" and "Mentally Disordered Offender." I have taught a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology and have a wide range of interests in the field.
The Saybrook community continues to lead at the World Congress of Existential Therapy02/13/2015
Saybrook is widely recognized as perhaps the leader in Existential-Humanistic therapy. That is going to be concretely demonstrated at the first World Congress of Existential Therapy in London, England - when barely an hour will go by without a presentation from a member of the Saybrook community. Many of the Saybrook presenters, of course, are already recognized luminaries in the field, like Louis Hoffman, Orah Krug, Kirk Schneider, Paul Wong, Mark Yang, and Xuefu Wang - all of whom are members of the World Congress' Scientific Advisory Board.
Learn more about studying existential psychology at Saybrook University.
Of particularly interest should be the Sunday presentation: The New Existentialists, a formal presentation from Saybrook's own Existential psychology blog, cementing its status as a venue for discussion among the leading scholars of Existential psychology.
Here's the schedule of Saybrook presenters:
What does a Humanistic (R)evolution look like?02/12/2015
The Society for Humanistic Psychology (American Psychological Association, Division 32) will have its 8th annual conference March 26-29th in Chicago, Illinois. The theme of the conference is Humanistic (R)evolution: Innovative Relevance in a Complex World. The theme recognizes both the complex ways our society is teetering on a precipice and calls for innovative ways and relevant practices to care for others as researchers, clinicans, and social advocates. This year Saybrook University faculty member, Dr.
Saybrook long time leader at APA01/21/2015
The recent news that Saybrook facultly, students, and alumni have won significant honors from the American Psychological Association's Division 32 is actually no surprise. Saybrook has a long history of significant impact on the APA - especially Division 32. Here's a partial look at some of Saybrook's history with the APA's division on Humanistic Psychology:
- Lisa Vallejos (Existential, Humanistic, and Transpersonal Psychology Ph.D. student) served as a student representative on the Division 32 Executive Board 2013/2014.
- Helena Choi Soholm (Clinical Psychology Ph.D. student) was the student representative on the Executive Board 2012/2013.
- Abraham Lopez (Clinical Psychology Ph.D. student) has served on the Division 32 Diversity Task Force since 2012
- Maria Tahany (Clinical Psychology Ph.D. student) has served on the Division 32 conference planning committee.
- While a student, Xuefu Wang and his institute, the Zhi Mian Institute, received the Charlotte and Karl Buhler Award in 2013.
- A number of Saybrook students have won the Division 32 Sidney Jourard Student paper award.
Saybrook Students and Faculty in Existential/Humanistic Psychology take honors01/14/2015
This past month has seen members of Saybrook's community win numerous awards and honors, demonstrating the University's continued dominance in the fields of Existential and Humanistic psychology.
Ed Medelowitz, a long-time member of Saybrook's faculty, has been selected to receive the Rollo May Award of the Society for Humanistic Psychology.
Previous Saybrook winners of this prestigious honor include faculty members Art Bohart (2007); Kirk Schneider (2004); and Amadeo Giorgi (2004), among others.
Meanwhile new faculty member Paul Wong has been selected to receive the prestigious Carl Rogers Award from the Society of Humanistic Psychology (APA Division 32)..
In a time of crisis, black psychologists develop new ways to help their communities heal01/13/2015
The psychological impact of the recent killings of young black men by police is devastating to Americans of conscience, but particularly for many members of African-American communities around the country. How can they cope with the added fear, stress, and sense of persecution these verdicts create?
A new coalition between the Association of Black Psychologists (ABPsi) and the Community Healing Network (CHN) offer an answer. It's called "The Emotional Emancipation Circle Movement."
According to Dr. Theopia Jackson, a professor of clinical psychology at Saybrook University in Oakland, California, and co-chair of the ABPsi's national Education & Training Committee, the Emotional Emancipation Circle curriculum is a community focused therapeutic effort – one in which members of a community are taught how to heal one another. Ordinary men and women in Black communities come to facilitated sessions in cities around America. After receiving counseling and training in how to address the psychological damage caused by what the curriculum calls "the lie of black inferiority," they leave able to lead sessions in their own communities to support its psychological health.
Migraine and tension headaches can be treated with biofeedback based behavioral interventions01/09/2015
by Richard Sherman, PhD
About 4 of 5 of people who have tension and migraine headaches which did not start with trauma can reduce their headache frequency, intensity, and duration by an average of about 80% (with many having no remaining headache activity for at least 10 years) by using biofeedback based behavioral interventions.
"Tension" headaches originating from muscles kept too tense for too long anywhere in the head and neck -especially including the jaws. People who have muscle related pain usually cannot tell how tense their painful muscles are as well as people without muscle related pain. The inability to accurately relate actual levels of muscle tension to sensations from the muscles leads to muscles being kept tenser than necessary for longer than necessary given the task at hand. Muscles kept only five percent tenser than necessary for less than a half hour longer than necessary leads to pain which can be sustained for an entire day.
Biofeedback devices record tension in the muscles generating the pain and show those levels to the patient. The patient learns to associate actual levels of tension with sensations from the muscles so muscles are kept appropriately relaxed. Most people learn to recognize their levels of tension and to automatically keep them at appropriate levels. This eliminates or vastly reduces head area pain from this source. People who successfully learn this skill and apply it eliminate or vastly reduce the intensity, duration, and frequency of their tension headaches.

Comments about Petzl Attache Screw Lock Carabiner Closeout:
This is it: a compact, keylock, HMS-style carabiner with a fat, round cross-section for belaying and munter descents. The screwgate is a seriously bombproof design; in fact, Petzl has started using this same lock in some other designs, including the Locker and the Am'D.
I use these for caving, primarily as attachment points at the ends of my cow's tails. The keylock nose is important here, since nothing is much worse than trying to unclip a hook-style carabiner from an anchor or hanger at rebelay loops. Many carabiners degrade rapidly when subjected to mud, grip and moisture with every use -- I've had to retire many carabiners early in their lifespans because I could no longer manipulate the locking mechanism -- but these stand up to whatever abuse you shell out. Petzl cut their teeth on the deep, unforgiving caves of the Alps, so you know their gear can handle whatever you dish out.
If you're using a Petzl Stop or Petzl Simple for descending, this is absolutely the carabiner you SHOULD be using to attach your descender to your harness, as specified in Petzl's literature; the round cross-section prevents the front plate from levering open, no matter how hard you try.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
- Long Climbs
- Outdoor climbing
Comments about Petzl Attache Screw Lock Carabiner Closeout:
Really nice, basic, simple, locking 'biner. Slightly smaller size is lightweight and doesn't take up too much space on the harness. Works great with a munter. I've often wished these had a slightly bigger capacity for clipping multiple ropes/anchors, but then of course I wouldn't be commenting on their compactness. Has really grippy texturing on the screw.

I just recently set up Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2.17, and MYSQL server 5.5 on Windows server 2008. Everything is setup correctly except when running PHP scripts I'm receiving "undefined function" errors for all mysql functions (mysql_pconnect, mysql_select_db, etc. etc.).
Here is what has been done so far:
1. PHP has been installed to C:\Program files\PHP. php.ini was created from copying php.ini-dist into it. The following has been modified in php.ini:
extension_dir="c:/Program Files/php/ext"
doc_root="c:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
extension=php_mysql.dll and extension=php_mysqli.dll have both been uncommented.
2. Within C:\Program files\PHP the libmysql.dll file has been copied into system 32 and C:\Program files\PHP\libmysql.dll has also been added to PATH.
Also I want to get a better understanding of what is going on.Generally how do PHP docs local the MYSQL function library? I'm fairly new to this, any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
