Now the one month option is gone....
So I am sitting here looking for another site to join and again came back to DDF. This time, when I followed the link from PU, the sign up link only shows 2 options. Sign up for 3-MONTHS at $89.99 or sign up for a year at $99.99. Wow, that is just ballsy. On a whim, I went direct to the site in another browser and there is a one month sign-up for $29.95 but it renews at $44.95! So they are randomly changing their pricing and options and might even be thumbing their noses at PU. I'm going to pass...again...
DDF Network
dscount price up to $33.95
Well, I just tried to sign up and see two things that are a little frustrating.
First, the discounted price is up to $33.95. That is not a cache or related issue but is a revised discount from their new regular price of $44.95 a month. Wow...that has to be the most expensive monthly porn site price I have ever seen. Good luck with that.
And perhaps more annoying is that when I first went to the discounted sign-up page, I entered my site-unique username and password for this site into the form. Then I saw that the credit card handler is somebody I haven't heard of before (DDFsupport), NOT one of the ones listed on the charge page (like ccbill), so I backed out. After a few minutes, I decided to sign up anyway and came back to the sign up page. This time, the site said my username was already in use....because I typed it in 5 minutes earlier! This was unfortunate and was enough to make me decide to spend my money elsewhere. I hate getting jerked around before I even sign up for a site. Sorry, DDF, FTVgrls.com (and ccbill) gets my money today.

I am here looking now and the discounted price has gone up to $33.95. Not a cache issue. I let the PU folks know.

Top rated softcore site
Some of the most beautiful models on the planet!
The site is HUGE!
Spectacular imagery and sets
Dozens of outstanding photographers across Europe
4-6 updates PER DAY!
Excellent search capabilities
Excellent navigation and "window" management
Excellent range of photo and video resolution
Download speeds are consistently fast.
Customer service that ANY on-line company would be proud of.
Only one thing in the CON category:
Too much cross-selling to the other sites in the network.
Bottom Line:
I noticed there were no current reviews of this site so I thought I would write an update to a review I wrote two years ago.
I've been a member of this site off and on for over a decade now and am a loyal, permanent customer. It is without a doubt one of the best softcore sites on the internet. The models are spectacular, the sets are great, the clothing, hair and make-up are usually perfect, the variety is great and the girls generally look like they are having a good time. Nothing cheap or poorly done anywhere, period.
Navigation is also very good and the way the site opens tabs for sets and individual images is the best I've seen. I've actually used this site as a reference to other webmasters with sites that have mediocre navigation.
There are several exclusive or nearly exclusive models on this site that words cannot describe. Many are well known European models but many are women you've never seen before but will want to see again and again. The girls are almost entirely all natural. The images you see on the main page and tour are perfectly representative of the images in the site as are the scores of the models (over 150 legitimate 9+ models).
To be clear here, this is a SOFTCORE site. If you enjoy looking at incredibly beautiful naked women positioned in ways that tastefully show off their assets, this is a great site for you. The site is mostly solo sets with a few two-girl sets and an occasional masturbation set. Sexy, but no sex. If you are looking for hardcore, insertions or kink of any kind, you will need to look elsewhere. Pretty much the only gaping here will be your mouth just before you say "Oh my fucking god this girl is beautiful"....and you will say that a lot!
There is really only one negative that I'm going to mention here and it is more of a customer service thing than a fault with the site.
Met Art
is part of a pretty big network which includes
Sex Art
, the Life Erotic,
Errotica Archives
Erotic Beauty
and a few others. Unlike many other networks, you have to join each of these sites separately. OK, I can appreciate that the individual owners want to maximize revenue. What I find a little annoying is that in Met-Art, when you look at a set of a model, a section sometimes appears at the bottom of the set that says something like "more of this model:' with a bunch of images that are links. Well, although there may be more of this model on Met-Art, the links are NOT WITHIN THE
SITE. They are links to offers to join one of the other sites in the network where more images of this model exist. Since I first mentioned this a few years ago, I have seen a few other networks that do it but some of those are all inclusive networks with free access to the other sites. There is always a link on the top of each page that will get you to the models "profile card" within Met-Art (just click on the model's name), so after a while you will learn to ignore these links at the bottom.
Now, in-spite of that cross-selling tactic, the guys at Met-Art are gracious enough to discount the other sites once you join Met-Art, sometimes providing significant discounts, as low as $5-10 for a month for each site. To be fair, these sites have their own flavor and plenty of unique sets. And pretty much every site on the network is the same or nearly the same quality as Met-Art, although some of these other sites are considerably smaller.
Oh, and here's an interesting one. They have a cam site called
.com. I do not partake in cam sites very often but browsing this one brings up several of the top models that are showcased on the Met-Art site. A few years ago I, um, came across Mila I., one of my all time favorite Met-art models, on the cam site and I could not resist. She did not disappoint, I was completely satisfied and I have a memory that (oddly, I admit) rivals a few from high-school. Clearly, the cam site is not soft-core....
I also want to say that the customer service for Met-Art and their network is simply outstanding. They are very responsive and have cleared up billing and other questions/issues immediately whenever I have had to contact them.
So...if you have not yet been to this site and want some seriously great softcore imagery and video to add to your collection, Met-Art is a MUST. I have an annual membership and have joined nearly every one of the other sites in the network for at least a month. This site and every other site on the network is totally, completely worth subscribing to.

I took them up on the
2-for-1 offer. It was a great deal. I also saw a Femjoy $14.95 for a month offer but apparently it was only valid for a few days and I missed it. Make sure to sign up to their newsletters so you don't get left out of the deals!

Some nicely done videos
Some great looking models
Decent collection
This is actually a referral site.
All or most of the content is from third party libraries or sites getting referrals.
Site layout and navigation is inconsistent and generally awful.
Preview page is not representative of content
Preview page makes many models look under 18 (scary)
Update 3 times a week, maybe.
Cross selling on every page. (From the sites with the content)
Bottom Line:
I've reviewed a pretty significant number of websites, So I hope the PU webmasters understand that as the consumer reports of porn, they need to watch out for misrepresentation.
At first, this seems like one of those sites that is trying to model itself in the image of WOW or W4B. The recent videos, though not exclusive, are very nicely done and follow that genre.
There is a section called DVD movies. Click on it and you are taken to an area with commercial streaming DVDs. It is a really poorly implemented area, though, because each video includes an option for HD, but generates an error when you click on HD. These are mostly old DVD from before 2008 or so, probably from a commercial re-licenser/aggregator.
Then, as you navigate through the site, there is also a large collection of videos that generally remind me of the stuff you can find on RedTube or other free sites. It is not bad, but I've seen much of it elsewhere. Funny thing...once there, you can't get back to the main page. This is because you are no longer on 18X. You are actually on a different site called Webmaster central. Another content aggregator. Another funny thing. Many of the videos have the lower corner blurred out or have been cropped to eliminate a watermark. This is probably because the aggregator bought the rights to these videos from sites that no longer exist.
But here is where the really sleazy website garbage comes in...stuff this site deserves to get slammed for. The Thai girl on the preview page named Eaw is not on the site. She can only be found by clicking on the "tour videos" link at the top. "tour videos" interesting description. I'm thinking it really means "Browse videos".... Ah, there she is, 2nd one down. Click on it, and up comes a video of the girl and some screen shots along with "click here for more" So I click on it and....What the fuck?...I'm redirected to a site called "
Thai Girls Wild
" and invited to join! Are you f-ing kidding me!!?? There below Eaw is a nearly famous picture of the beautiful Melena from Met-Art, also on the preview page. I follow the link and, BAM, it actually takes me to a Met-Art sign-up page! The girl on the top of the page, named Alyssa Hart here, is actually a referral to a site called
Wow, so I've paid to see models from the preview page who are actually not on this site at all except for a few images and one video that are REALLY on sites that are paying this site for referrals. NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! DON'T DO THAT! IT IS AMONG THE MOST DECEPTIVE THINGS A PORN SITE CAN DO!
So...bottom line? Well, as far as I can tell, there is either no or very little original content on this site. It is an aggregation of libraries and referral agreements that provide content from other sites. And in addition to that, the site is deceptively advertising models on its preview page that are actually bait images for referrals to other sites.
As unlikely as I think this is,it is entirely possible that the webmasters of this site do have some unique content, are trying to create something and are only a referral site while they build up their collection. If that is the case, I apologize. However, you are deceiving people and my score reflects my disgust for this kind of deception.
I have never had to say this in a review before, but STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS SITE!

A little rash or a slap mark is OK. Lots of pimples, razor burn or "other" can be kind of distracting. Many models go to great lengths to make sure their lower extremities look pristine, front and back. It does not take a lot of abuse to change a close-up view from Yum! to Yuck!
Oh, and I've seen a few great close-ups ruined by a FLY! A BIG FLY! WTF! Edit that out! :-)

Huge collection.
Many reasonably attractive girls
Network includes multiple sites, depending on what you signed up for.
Many models have different types of sets listed (masturbation, foot fetish, lingerie, etc.)
There are early sets of a few popular models here.
Site is multi-lingual
File download speed seems pretty good.
What you see in the previews is representative of what you get.
Every set is exclusive to ATK
Site is often slow
Site often crashes (lots of 504 server-database errors)
Pages time-out so you can't go back or refresh
Lots of cross selling
Can't tell how many images there are.
Can't tell how many videos there are.
Navigation is a bit more challenging than it needs to be.
Many sets are nearly identical.
Some sets appear to have been recycled (Sets in only small resolution from 2011?)
Since every set is exclusive to ATK, chances are good you will see it elsewhere on an ATK site.
Bottom Line:
I'm having a hard time finding a lot to like about this website. Perhaps the best way to describe it is middle of the road. The models are your basic cross section of college-age Kmart or maybe Target shoppers. Some are attractive, many are not. None are truly stunning and almost none are truly hideous. This is a side effect of the amateur-type site status, I guess. There is a wide variety of body types from super skinny to...um...super plump, so if you like bigger girls, this might be a good site for you. These girls are all natural, ranging from nothing up top, to some giant melons, but breast size is proportionate to overall body type (i.e. fat is distributed evenly). There are no really fit or smoking hot bodies here, but a lot of nice 18-24 year-olds. The grace/awkward ratio is about even. Overall, there is a huge collection.
Navigation Is difficult. It is single threaded, and if you try to open multiple windows, the servers either throttle access or time-out...in other words getting through the images quickly is simply not possible. You can set how many thumbnails you want to see but, again, everything is single threaded so you have to wait to open a picture and then wait to return to the gallery.
The photography on this site is about average. The images are clear and consistent, but the lighting in the mostly indoor sets is not well developed or particularly flattering. You can tell that many of the sets with a model were shot on the same day in a different corner of a room or a different room in an apartment or hotel room.
The sets are a very standard formula. Girl starts out standing, clothes on, peekaboo, strip (often bottom first for some reason), show ass, spread, gaping spread, then depending on the type of set, on to other things like toys, masturbation, foot fetish, watersports, etc. "Artistic" is really just a normal set that they converted to black and white. Really dumb. This image shooting sequence makes many of the sets monotonous, even boring. In general, the girls do not look like they are having a very good time. It is all pretty much just straight show-me-the-money stuff, not very glamorous. Lots of gaping close-ups if you are into that. A handful of sets are girl/girl or guy/girl scenes but the vast majority are just solo.
Images come in three sizes, 682x1024 (who uses this?), 1080x1600 and 2000x3000.
Make-up is generally very good. No goofy eastern European eye shadow that I can find. I also noticed that the girls are generally very clean and well groomed. Mostly no pimples (anywhere), slap marks, bruises, razor burn, bad tattoos, etc. I don't think there is any or much photo-shopping...
The ranking of the models is a little odd. On a 1-5 scale (5 highest), there are a lot of unknown young models at the top of this list with only a few votes.
Shyla Jennings
is a 28th, Tiffany Thomspon is 15th. Early Zoey Kush is 94th. Early Jessie Rogers, complete with original Brazilian tan lines, is 62nd. Riley Marks is 85th. These model scores are not the sum of the scores of the sets, but a separate score for the models themselves. The reason I mention this is because it is not really possible to find the "best" girls or sets using the ranking system. You might find a model you like down in the 100-200 range. Oh, there are 657 ranked models. Surprisingly, most at the bottom are not bad looking, just victims of a bad photographer. Just reinforces my point about how useless the ranking system is. Might be more about the images than the girls.
There are quite a few videos of the models. Some masturbation videos are quite good, but many are just videos of the photo sets. Even a few guy/girl videos are just the photo sets, which is immensely disappointing. There are also a handful of behind the scenes videos...a big NOPE on those. Some of these girls you simply do NOT want to see before they put on make-up. Finding a video with the right combination of attractive girl and decent videography is very, very rare, but there are a few. Forget about anything hardcore, though. There are a couple, but it is extremely rare.
Perhaps the thing that taints my opinion of this site the most is the navigation speed and server response. When you try to open multiple windows, even to view images, the site times out. Oddly, download speed seems OK, though.
Bottom line? Well...if you are into amateur-ish solo photography, there is a huge collection here. Take a look at the previews and determine if this is the type of thing you like.

It's all B roll!
I rejoined EB as part of a special with
. The EB site has had a slight freshening, but I'm not terribly impressed with the most recent content. First, it is all "B" roll! It seems as though these are sets of slightly less attractive models or, if mainstream models, slightly lesser quality sets. So they may not have been good enough for the main site,
Met Art
, when they were taken. Second, it is an odd collection of old and new sets. I recognize several models that retired back around 2008 or earlier and here they are in "new releases" this month with different names and the exact same look. A few models have sets from 2007 and new sets in 2014 and they look exactly the same...because they are old sets just being released now. (To their credit, EB lists the age of the model when the sets were taken, but I don't think those ages are accurate.) That usually only happens because the set was not rated very highly back when the model was popular but now, what the heck, who cares, release it! Fourth, some sets of once popular models might be a bit off because when these sets were taken, these models were very near retirement. There are a few sets where I looked at the model, recognized her and although she was still very attractive, she was several years older than she was at her peak. My typical male reaction was "Wow, what happened? She used to be really hot!" There is nothing that reminds you that YOU are getting old more than images of a favorite model showing that SHE is getting old. Depressing. There are also a few sets from the time before a popular model perfected her look. A lot of eastern European girls took a little time to perfect their looks and some of these sets are the "before" pictures. And lastly, releasing a set in 3 parts is positively annoying. There is no reason for this other than to string us along and get more money. Many
Met Art
sets have 120-160 images in them. These EB sets usually have 40-60 images spread over 2-3 or more pages of 20 images a page. They either do that to minimize load on their servers, or to make it look like there are more images. Either way, its a really cheap trick!
This site is still better than a lot of others out there, but it is really unfortunate when a good site goes mediocre.

I'm with you on the anal thing. I can't think of her name, but there was a beautiful tall, athletic dark haired eastern European model that appeared on the scene a few years ago. First saw her on
Met Art
, I think. Then she popped up everywhere and soon had her then perfect boobs enlarged. Next time I saw her (not on
Met Art
, of course), she's doing anal. All I could think of is "awww". You can't unsee stuff like that.

So...the reason I wrote the survey is to see what people think about seeing certain models EVERYWHERE and their thoughts on models that just don't seem to have the same, um, bounce that they once did. The girl named Malena/Maria seems to be everywhere these days. Caprice and Melissa Mendini are very, very popular models that, although beautiful and versatile, just seem, uh, a little over exposed. Malena Morgan is another very popular bombshell that I have seen in some sets lately where it just doesn't look like she's having any fun. I don't know if they are just crappy sets or what.
I just joined Twisty's for like the 10th time on a bargain sign up. There are a lot of great models there (including 35 sets of Malena, 31 sets of Caprice and 41 sets of Melissa Mendini), but also some older (30+) models and porn stars that I would prefer to think of from...kinder years.
Some models look great forever, some are one-shot wonders (pun intended) and a lot kind of evolve or devolve from the pressures of the business.
In the end, though, there are models we like no matter what, models we don't like very much and a whole lot of models that we will gladly look at until somebody more interesting comes a long.

Eufrat is a great example of somebody who has been modeling for a awhile but still has a great attitude and appearance. Lorena is another really lively one. There will always be great models that will look good well into their thirties or until they retire (Like Marketa Belonoha).

Yes, I had a chance to look through things in more detail and agree that it doesn't seem to be as good as it used to be. The advertising alone seems like it has doubled and I complained about that in 2012. It is funny that you mention score rigging as there are a lot of new , pretty average videos of pretty average girls rated 9.6 or higher, something I've never seen in any site. Now I know why. It is remarkable how many good sites have been destroyed by new owners that are just out to recoup their investment. This is probably one of them. Probably still worth it for $10 once every couple of years or so.
Just foined for $10!
They are running a promo for $10! (watch out for the cross-check) I just re-joined so I haven't seen much, but so far it looks about the same as it did in 2012 with more content. They still don't display sets on one page. Videos are 720p max and images are 3000 across max. Many very (too) familiar models here. Very easy to download zips. A lot of advertising...
For $10 I don't know how you can go wrong! (Read my old review.)

I wrote a review back in January of last year and am very happy to say the old login/password issue is gone! The photography is even better than it was last year and the collection is simply excellent, among the best soft core on the Internet. Now if only they would update once or more daily....... If you have never been to this site, I highly recommend it!

My level of remorse depends on how much I spend on a site and how it misses the mark. For $10, I'll try anything that looks interesting and won't be too upset if it is not all that was promised. For $20, I'll be a little more critical if it misses the mark. For $30, the site had better perform as good as or better than promised. I generally will not join a site that is more than $30 although there seem to be a growing number of fetish sites out there that exceed that.
Also, I will generally not join a site that doesn't have good reviews here and will brace myself for disappointment if I want to join a site that has no reviews here. Still, once in a while I get taken..or at least feel like I did.
I just remembered...I have experienced remorse a couple of times for reading bad reviews here and joining anyway! Read the reviews!

Oops. Starting writing and the edit timer ran out...
I'm thinking I used to spend about $20-30 a month on magazines and videos back in the...80s, plus an Atlanta, Dallas, Houston or Fort Lauderdale strip club once every couple of months or so. That was maybe 40 images per $5 magazine and one crappy video rental a week. When you consider Moore's rule of technology (doubles every 6 months-2 years), and you throw in inflation, I'd say on-line porn is about the same or slightly better value than porn of prior years.
And although I know where there are some really, really...um...satisfying strip clubs, it is hard to compare that to having a private video chat with any one of about a million girls, some of whom are popular models on your favorite porn sites, with the ability to ask her to do just about anything you can imagine right there in living color...probably for less than you would spend at a strip club.
And if you think that is cool, just wait until you see POV and real-time role-play porn on an Oculus Rift! This technology will blow your everything!
So I guess the value (and budget) is about the same but the technology makes it all much better.

A good value compared to what? Magazines? Old VHS? DVDs? Strip clubs? A date? A girlfriend? A hooker? A wife? (I'm mostly kidding...) :-)
I agree with Pat and RearAdmiral about the volume and variety available on-line being unlike anything else, ever, but I've also experienced what Greymane mentions with rip-off sites. It amazes me that some of these sites can be in business at all.
In the end, you often make a decision based on the sales pitch you are given. Sometimes the result is all that is promised, but often it is not. Thankfully, there is a community here at PU, "The community-based Consumer Reports of porn", that helps us by providing timely and accurate reviews so we know what we are getting into.

OK, I know what you mean, but I really think they have improved a LOT at Femjoy in the last 4 or 5 years. I keep all my images by year (10 years worth for Femjoy) and I just went back and opened some zip files from 2007. They are good, but sometimes these images are a little darker and sometimes the emphasis is on the overall locale with the model included in the image periphery someplace. This was pretty common in softcore several years back and was a technique made popular by
Holly Randall
and others from the days of
magazine (the "artsy" dark hazy look, the halo look and the High Dynamic Resolution look sometimes still used by
Michael Ninn
and others can go straight to hell as far as I'm concerned.) Honestly, a panoramic shot with the model in the image can sometimes be very beautiful, but it does not appeal to everyone, it should be used very sparingly and it distracts from the reason for the set, which is the model. Dark sets do crop up occasionally and I too get very frustrated with them. Fortunately, those sets are very rare. Digital cameras are much better these days, too, so the softness we used to see sometimes is also rare.
One thought....sometimes they mess with the thumbnail image to brighten it up for the text they are adding, not simply to improve the image. This may be why you sometimes see brighter thumbnails.
These days I download and unzip the zip files of entire sets instead of just individual images. I also have a single folder where I keep the very best high-resolution images because of the model, the pose and the image quality, not because of the locale. If an image I want to keep happens to have a little too much space at the bottom or top (often they are formatted portrait but could easily be cropped to be landscape), then I just load up Adobe Photoshop and crop it myself. I just looked at my jumbo best-of collection, about 1000 images, and I've probably cropped 75% of them, but I've only messed with color balance and brightness on about 10% of them. These are the cream of the crop models and images across about 30 sites, but they still required a little cropping to suit my tastes and emphasize the model over the locale. I imagine that may be the case for others as well.
Photographers these days need to be all things to all people. That means they need to do panoramas, full body shots, close ups, hands and feet, face shots, coy shots and open shots, all with both direct eye contact and averted eyes. A little of everything. Amazingly, probably 80% of the Femjoy sets and 60%-80% of the images in those sets for last few years are keepers for me. That may not sound like much, but that is an incredibly high percentage compared to the average soft core site I visit. Of course, your mileage will vary, but I think the photographers at Femjoy do a very, very good overall job these days of keeping their audience happy.

Some of the best European models
Wonderful sets and lighting
Top notch photography
Great interaction
2 sets a day
Models generally are not shy
Good site layout
3 image file/zip file sizes for each set.
Images up to 5500 x 3700 pixels(a 6 foot poster)
Excellent value for the money
Navigation not up to par with the best sites
Videos are a bit snoozy
Image/zip file sizes are odd/archaic
Site is not quite as reliable as some others.
Bottom Line:
I've been a member of this site 5 or 6 times over the years and keep forgetting to write a review. It keeps drawing me back.
Here's the good and bad (absolutely no ugly).
This is a site with photography that ranks up there with the best in this genre...perhaps THE best. The photo sets and models themselves are generally spectacular. In fact, there are a few exclusive models here that are the absolute pinnacle of beautiful female form. Translation: They have perfect, perfect bodies, pretty faces and bright eyes. The models are 18 to mid-20s, fit, clean, totally natural, mostly clean shaven and just drop-dead gorgeous. Very few piercings and next to no tattoos. The more recent models are very open. I've never used this word in a review before. Delicious.
Lets talk about content:
The site has been around since 2004. I can't get a good read on sets, but it is at least 3000 or so, plus about a video or two a week for at least the last few years. Of course the older sets tend to be a little more "observing a naked girl in the woods" but for the past few years, the shooting formula has been damn near perfect. Great mix of full body and close-ups in various poses. Sets and outdoor locations are great. Interaction is great. Lighting is consistently terrific. Posing is great. Nothing awkward or uncomfortable anywhere.
The videos are sometimes of the photo shoots and sometimes shot separately on the same set. The girls start naked or disrobe and are usually undressed by the halfway point. Any close-ups, etc are reserved for the last few minutes of the video and there is rarely any masturbation. These are not bad videos, but they are not terribly exciting unless you really want to see how a particular model moves. They come in multiple sizes and formats from standard definition (272p) to 1080p. Older ones are in 720p.
Just a reminder that this is soft core. There is no guy/girl sex, no toys, no insertions, etc., with maybe a little bit of masturbation and few girl/girl sets just touching and leaning. (If you want that in this format, go over to
.) At
, you just get beautiful unobstructed view.
So..what's not to like? Well...I know the webmasters are working on improvements, but there are a few things that keep me from rating this site right up there with the best. I know they will be reading this so forgive me if I direct some of my points to them.
First, the navigation is a little off. there are a few too many clicks to get where you want to be and not enough new-window options. When you click on a set from the home or updates page, a new window opens for that set and then all actions happen in that window. Click to see images, and a limited number of images appear in a gallery. Click on "show all" (nice pun, I guess) and all of the images appear. What, are we still in dial-up times? Just show me ALL the images when I ask to see ALL images, please. This doesn't sound like much, I know, but it is a little odd to navigate through. ..Then there is selecting a picture. When you click on an image from a gallery, it opens up in the same window that the gallery of images was in. Click back and you are taken back to the top of the gallery page regardless of where the image was that you clicked on. This may also seem like a little thing but when looking through many images, it is unnerving. What SHOULD happen is that each set should open a window/tab and each image within that set should open a window/tab. Or better yet, the whole thing should be user selectable like several of the other top-tier websites are. To their credit, the navigation options once looking at an image are pretty good (larger image, next, previous and back to gallery).
And my last little nitpick is with the file sizes. There are three image size choices: "Quickview Edition" images are 800k wide. "Collectors Edition" images are 1200k wide and "Poster-Size Edition" images are 4500-5500k wide. Wait, what? (Insert captain Piccard meme here) Who the fuck looks at 800k images anymore? Even iPhones are 960 pixels wide/tall! My smallest computer screen is 1900 pixels wide. So the two smallest images sizes are waaaay too small to fill my computer screen and the only other option involves 5500 pixel, 2 meg images and a zip file that is a third of a gig! There is just something seriously outdated with this thinking. I appreciate the larger images, but they are a little too large to be loaded and kept exclusively. What is needed is a 1200, a 2000 and a max resolution (4500+) image size. I have been told they are working on fixing this and will happily report when it is fixed.
Bottom line? If you are into soft core and like young, OMG beautiful girls, don't hesitate. Just join this site. This is one of the few sites that I would recommend for an annual membership because of the terrific soft core content. There is enough here to keep you entertained for months.

Khan's Poll
I've been to japan and the things girls do for money in clubs and parlors there are unbelievable. When it comes to fetishes, they might even top the US. I knew a top-tier American stripper who went over there for a year because the money was almost double what she made in the US. Paid for 4 years of college in less than a year! (Somebody paid her $10,000 cash to be a blindfolded, glass topped table for 2 hours including breaks.) I'm guessing this is why a lot of the great oriental porn actresses won't leave Japan to shoot a video without blurring...they probably make more and expose less by staying in the country.
So, yes, the double standard is very frustrating. But there probably isn't much we are going to be able to do about it.

The videos in general are very high quality but there are a few that don't rank up there with the rest. In general the video is MUCH better than your typical hardcore or amateur site.

'Lock your doors and load your guns'
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 11/30/2012 @ 11:53 pm In U.S. | No Comments
(Breitbart) City attorney of San Bernardino Jim Penman had the audacity to tell the truth to the residents of bankrupt San Bernardino at a recent city council meeting. Taking stock of the fact that San Bernardino's murder rate has jumped 50 percent over the last year, that the city has been cutting its police force by about 80 officers, and that there is no good news in sight, Penman stated, "lock your doors and load your guns." He stands by the statement today, explaining, "you should say what you mean and mean what you say."
Penman continued, "Let's be honest, we don't have enough police officers. We have too many criminals living in this city. We have had 45 murders this year…that's far too high for a city of this size …

The strange story of a forgotten battalion of Mexican-Americans in the Civil War. Read more
Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on July 15, 2012.
The strange story of a forgotten battalion of Mexican-Americans in the Civil War.
About this project
The Forgotten Mexican-American History of the Civil War
As most folks reading this know all too well, these are strange times in my home state of Arizona. The Mexican-American community is under political assault, with their very status as Americans coming into question. Here in Tucson, a school board has gone out of its way to appease state officials by enforcing a ban on teaching the role of Mexican-Americans in our shared history.
This project is my little way of striking back against this.
The current political dogma is based on the premise that Mexican-Americans are a new community, largely without roots in the United States. This is pure bunk. Mexican-Americans have always been here, though their role in building this country is too frequently dismissed and forgotten. In particular, the role of Mexican-Americans in the Civil War usually goes unmentioned.
Thousands of Mexican-Americans served on both sides of the great conflict, from Pennsylvania to the Pacific Coast. This project focuses on one battalion, about 400 men (plus their wives, in a few cases), raised from among the californios, the Spanish-Speaking natives of California, in the hopes that their legendary horsemanship could be put to good use in the federal service. These men served in California by supporting a campaign against Indians in the northern counties, pursuing bandits in the Central Valley, securing the roads across the southern deserts, and generally enforcing federal authority during the national crisis. Later, they were posted to a squalid post on the Mexican border in Arizona, from where they patrolled against Apaches and partisans of the Emperor Maximilian.
The Civil War is the great American Epic, our Iliad. That Mexican-Americans were a part of this story and therefore share in our national heritage is an inconvenient truth that is too little known. I hope that in a small way, this book can give this record its proper place in the popular imagination.
The book, tentatively titled Knights of Woeful Countenance: 1st Battalion of Native Cavalry, California Volunteers, 1863-1866, is an expansion of an article that was published in the Journal of Arizona History in 1999. The article received an award from the Arizona Historical Society in 2000 and has since been posted online by the California Military History Museum.
At this point, much of the research is finished. The request here will allow me the time and resources to complete the writing that remains.

Story: Koreans
Before 1990 there were barely 1,000 Koreans in New Zealand. Then the numbers soared, reaching almost 20,000 a decade later. Leaving their crowded cities for a less frantic urban life has proved very popular among South Koreans. They have flocked to Auckland, where they have built up business and cultural networks.
Full story by Hong-key Yoon and Inshil Choe Yoon
Main image: Julia and Glen Jo
The Short Story
A quick, easy summaryRead the Full Story
Immigration history
Koreans are comparatively recent immigrants to New Zealand. Some arrived before the 1980s, among them teachers of martial arts, which became popular with New Zealanders. But most have come since 1990: within 10 years the population swelled from around 1,000 to over 19,000. There were two big waves – in the early to mid-1990s, and in the early 2000s. Almost all of these immigrants were from South Korea.
Reasons for coming to New Zealand
The surge in arrivals was largely due to a change in New Zealand's immigration policy in 1991. Immigrants applying to enter New Zealand were assessed on a points system, which did not discriminate by country of origin. Because points were given to professional and business people, many Koreans were able to come.
South Korea is a crowded country where most people live in apartments. Many sought a quieter lifestyle, and welcomed New Zealand's open spaces and golf courses. The less competitive education system also appealed to many families.
The community
Being used to city life, Koreans mainly chose to settle in Auckland, especially on the North Shore. Finding jobs has been one of their biggest challenges. Many opened their own small businesses such as groceries and travel agencies, which often served their community. Many immigrants were Christians and they formed their own church communities.
By the mid-1990s Korean newspapers were being published in Auckland. And migrants could also eat at Korean restaurants, which served traditional food such as kimchi – a vegetable dish highly seasoned with pepper and garlic. In 2003 there were about 15,000 young Koreans studying in New Zealand as international students.

|The Game Story:
|WORCESTER, Mass. – Senior Rory Nunamacher netted a hat trick, and rookie Jack Bobzien tallied four points on two goals and a pair of assists, but it wasn't enough for the University of Hartford men's lacrosse team as it suffered an 11-9 loss at Holy Cross on Saturday afternoon. The Hawks fall to 0-2 on the season while the Crusaders improve to 1-1 overall.
A flurry of Holy Cross goals in the opening minutes of the second quarter proved to be the difference in the game as the Hawks fell behind by six goals and was never able to recover. Hartford managed to trim its 8-2 deficit down to a pair of goals in the fourth quarter but was unable to complete the comeback.
Facing the early six-goal deficit, the Hawks responded from a 5-0, second quarter Crusaders' run by netting the next three goals, including the final two of the first half, to bring the gap down to three.
Bobzien had a share in all three of the Hawks' goals during that rally, netting his first in a Hartford uniform with 4:12 left to play before the break. After assisting on Nunamacher's second tally of the contest in the final minutes of the half, the rookie opened up the second half with another goal just eight seconds in to make it an 8-5 game.
From there, the momentum shifted back in favor of Holy Cross with Myles Gillespie and Matt Ward delivering back-to-back tallies to put the Crusaders back ahead at 10-5 with 5:21 left to play in the third.
In the closing minutes of the third, the Hawks netted two of the last three goals of the quarter, trimming their deficit to four. Junior Andrew Cacchio scored both of Hartford's goals 66 seconds apart from each other to shift the score to 10-7 before Terry McKenna found the back of the net with 51 seconds left to push the Crusaders' lead back to four at 11-7.
Hartford made it interesting, cutting its deficit in half in the fourth quarter, however it was never able to fully recover from the barrage of first-half Holy Cross goals. With 6:15 left in regulation, sophomore Kevin O'Shea scored his first goal of the season while Nunamacher followed suit with two minutes to go, delivering his third marker of the game and bringing his team within two goals.
Holy Cross held edges in both shots (49-34) and ground balls (29-18) and also finished with the advantage at the face-off X, going 14-of-24. Both teams struggled in extra-man opportunities with the Hawks going 0-for-3 and the Crusaders converting on just one of five man-up situations.
Redshirt junior Drew Haig rounded out the scoring for the Hawks on the afternoon, with his second goal of the season ending Holy Cross' 3-0, game-opening run. Classmate Frank Piechota played all 60 minutes between the pipes, making 15 saves.
The Hawks continue the search for their first win of the season when they host the Brown Bears on Wednesday, March 6 at 3:00 p.m.

Working in partnership with Island Waste Services, Isle of Wight Council delivers a range of recycling initiatives, for almost 70,000 households across the Island, to recycle, compost, recover and minimise domestic waste. The council are responsible for many schemes through which householders can play an active part, minimising the waste that is sent to landfill and recycling or recovering a wide variety of materials.
The council provide a fortnightly kerbside collection for domestic waste and recycling.
All households on the island have been provided with a green wheelie bin (or clear bags where appropriate) and at least one food caddy. Householders are expected to provide their own means for containing residual waste (black bag waste and dustbins) and storing it securely between collections.
The waste collection calendars for 2015 are now available to download from our website.
The calendars are no longer being delivered to households, but it is easy to download a calendar specific to your address.
Simply click here, enter your postcode, select your address and then click 'view the calendar'. You can then print the calendar.
Throughout 2015, the weekly waste collections mirror those of 2014, so you will not see a change in your collection day or what waste is collected on alternate weeks.
Recycling bags are now available from your local library. Any residents requesting clear recycling sacks once they run low should continue to call the council on (01983) 823777. If the request is approved, the caller can then collect the sacks from their local library. All residents collecting their bags from the library will be provided with a unique reference number which they will need to quote when picking up the bags.
Should residents run out of sacks before receiving their additional stock, they can place recyclable waste in coloured bin sacks as long as they are not black or grey in colour. Green sacks may also be used, but any green garden waste must only be placed in the pre-paid garden waste sacks.
The following can all be put in your wheelie bin or clear-sack for collection at the kerbside:
If you find that you cannot manage the wheelie bin that has been provided for you or you cannot place your waste and recycling out on the kerbside for collection - you may be eligible for assistance with your waste and recycling collections. You can read the policy here and apply for an assisted collection by clicking on the do it online tab at the top of the page and completing the online form.
We provide two collection caddies for food waste, a small one for in the house and a larger one for presenting the waste kerbside. You can line the small caddy with plastic bags and put the multiple bags in the big caddy for collection. This is collected upon a weekly basis at the same time as normal refuse or recycling.
You can put the following items in the food waste caddies:
Please do not put any food in packaging in the food waste caddie.
Garden waste is not collected as part of the normal collection service. Green sacks have to be bought separately, costing £1.30 each (minimum order of 5 for £6.50, payment cannot be made in cash and cash on delivery is also not a valid payment method.) and are collected upon a fortnightly basis at the same time as normal refuse. Please do not put out with your recycling as it will not be collected. Green sacks bought from supermarkets and other shops are not the correct sacks and garden waste placed out for collection in such sacks will not be collected.
In the pre-paid bags you can put:
You can purchase the bags from Island Waste directly or the outlets listed below:

There are three sites on the island where householders can take and recycle items that are not collected with their normal weekly refuse collection.
Bulky household items such as wardrobes, washing machines, cookers, carpets, beds, mattress, suites/sofas, arm-chairs, broken furniture and similarly sized items are not collected as part of the scheduled waste and recycling collection service. A separate, chargeable, service is offered for bulky items.
To dispose of bulky wastes either:
Unfortunately most bulky wastes that are collected/delivered to the council are sent to landfill.
European legislation prevents the disposal to landfill of fridges and freezers until all CFCs (including those trapped in the foam) have been removed, by a licensed repossessor. As a result of this retailers are now unlikely to take back your old unit free of charge when you buy a new one.
Contact us to arrange a collection by clicking on the 'Forms' tab at the top of this page and by completing an on-line form.
There is a charge per item (cheque or card payment only) for this service and a waiting list of around 2 weeks.
The fridge or freezer must be placed outside of your home ready for collection as the collecting staff will not carry any items through your property for you. Fridges and freezers are sent to a specialist plant on the mainland where the CFC gases are extracted from the units prior to their disposal. Last year over 6000 units were sent for disposal through this route from the Isle of Wight.
The above does not apply to businesses or trades with fridges and freezers to dispose of. Businesses and trades with fridges or freezers to dispose of should contact a private waste contractor, many advertise in phonebooks or you can search online.

The Seahawks' stretch run is beginning with a limp.
As the team prepares to for its final six regular-season games, beginning with Sunday's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs at Qwest Field, leading receiver Mike Williams and left guard Chester Pitts are dealing with foot and ankle injuries.
Williams got what coach Pete Carroll called an injury "they've never seen before" on the bottom of his foot. He was injured during Sunday's loss to the Saints in New Orleans, when he caught six passes for 109 yards – including a 68-yarder from Matt Hasselbeck that is the team's longest offensive play this season.
"Mike is going to be a day-to-day thing," Carroll said Monday during his day-after Q&A session. "He did something very unusual to his foot that might not be as serious as we originally thought. So we're going to have to wait and see how he responds."
Williams definitely has responded in a positive way since being signed in April. He moved into the starting split end spot and has caught 52 passes for 654 yards – including a trio of 100-yard receiving efforts and also three games with 10-plus receptions.
Williams left the game early, just after his long run to grab Hasselbeck's long pass. But Carroll said that was due to cramps in his hamstring.
As for the foot, Carroll said, "He was running down the field and felt something pop. It's very unusual. They know exactly what it is … and they've never seen it before."
Pitts, meanwhile, has a sprained ankle. He has started the past three games after an arduous return from having microfracture surgery on his right knee last September while playing for the Houston Texans.
"He'll have to see how Chester comes back," Carroll said.
There is a chance that Mike Gibson will return after missing the past two games with a sprained ankle. He has started two games this season at left guard.
"Mike is saying that he can (come back this week)," Carroll said. "He ran today and ran alright. We're going to have to wait and see. That's a big boost for us if Mike can get back. He has a great attitude about it. He's dealt with ankle sprains before and he thinks he's got it.
"But we're still going to have to go day-to-day with him and see how that works out."
Just in case, Carroll said Tyler Polumbus also will get some work this week at guard. He has started five games at left tackle and another at right tackle.
"We'll get resource here to do a couple of things to get things straightened out," Carroll said.
Cornerback Marcus Trufant also is in that day-to-day category after getting a concussion when he took a knee to the helmet while tackling Saints running back Chris Ivory after a 5-yard gain midway through the first quarter.
"So we've got some stuff we're going to have to deal with here," Carroll said. "We'll figure it out as we go through the next couple of days."

Cateye HL EL600RC Single Shot £74.99
Good, if pricey lamp for urban riding and complementing dynamos on rural runs
Weight 100g Contact www.zyro.co.uk
Previous Review
Next Review
Cateye's CL EL 600 is a rechargeable, single watt LED front light well suited to urban commuting and as a complement to dynamo systems but despite generally good build quality and user friendly design, more accessible batteries and a USB charging option would be welcome refinements.
Separating the imaginatively named EL600 from the competition is a clever Reverse Offset inner lens (ROL) which focuses the single watt beam upon a precision, curved reflector, maximising output. Three beams (high, low and flashing) give run times between two and twenty four hours and selection is simple-even on the fly and wearing winter gloves courtesy of a well positioned, rubberised switch.
A full charge takes five hours using the surprisingly cumbersome smart charger, although in a pinch it accepts dry cells but access to the battery compartment demands removing the slightly vulnerable lens assembly held in place with two tiny (2mm) Allen screws-fine in the living room but a nightmare along dark country lanes. Some might reason, used properly this should never happen but we live in an imperfect world and the option of a USB charger would be a welcome upgrade.
An ingenious, tool-free universal fitting kit consumes nominal space and accommodates all bar diameters-I've successfully attached ours to a Space Saver bracket and even mounted it securely atop a helmet. Bridle path blasting has failed to budge it. Despite advice to the contrary, positioning millimetres away from a wireless computer hasn't presented any problems. Run times are pretty accurate, although ours only managed 23 hrs and 45 minutes against the 24 stated in flashing mode, but hey, that's a lot closer to 24 than 23.
Stout weather seals are to Cateye's usual high standards and toggling between modes in a downpour hasn't revealed any obvious flaws. Just the same, mile munching, foul weather commuters might want a lick of Vaseline on the battery contacts. Output is more than adequate for being seen by- even on unlit roads and is handy for roadside mechanicals but insufficient for rural lanes. Sixty quid seems steep too- nice tyre driven dynamos and budget ten watt lead acid systems can be had for the same money. However, low weight and reliable design backed by a two year warrantee gives peace of mind.
Good, if pricey lamp for urban riding and complementing dynamos on rural runs
road.cc test report
Make and model: Cateye HL EL-600RC
Size tested: n/a
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
The EL600RC is a single watt rechargeable LED light aimed at the suburban commuter and to that end does exactly what it says on the tin.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Unique ROL Lens ensures the one watt output is used to maximum effect, three modes-hi, low and flashing managing 2,6 and 24hrs respectively. 100g including universal bracket and batteries is very impressive. Claimed 10,000 chare cycles before replacement batteries. Also accepts dry cells in emergency.
Generally to Cateyes renowned high standards but 2mm allen screws are easily lost-especially performing roadside bulb or battery changes.
Generally very good.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Great commuter light with reasonable burn times in all modes but very much a light of the seen-by family rather than for seeing with. Short charge times are conviient but USB technology would've been more practical as the charger isn't one you'd pop in a pannier.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
Solid build quality, surprisingly bright beam, great mounting bracket and low weight.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Vulnerable lens and akward to access battery compartment, lack of USB charging option. Pricey too given the output.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes
Would you consider buying the product? No
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Possibly

Marriage Equality and How to Cope with Success-Related Losses

The sister of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhohkar Tsarnaev allegedly threatened to bomb another woman.
Ailina Tsarnaeva called up her boyfriend's ex, who lives in New York, and threatened injury to the woman if she didn't leave them alone, The New York Post reports.
"Leave us alone," the 23-year-old New Jersey resident is accused of saying. "I know people who can put a bomb on you."
The woman, who is currently going through a custody dispute gone sour, called police. Tsarnaeva then turned herself in and was charged with aggravated harassment.
This is the second run-in with the law for Tsarnaeva, as she was previously involved in a counterfeiting case three years ago. While an obstruction charge against her was later dropped, she was accused of knowing customers who paid with fake money at a restaurant and then later lied about it.
Tsarnaeva's two brothers are accused of planting bombs during the 2013 Boston Marathon. While Tamerlan Tsarnaev died during the manhunt, Dzhohkar is currently awaiting trial. According to NBC New York, he is charged with building and planting the bombs.
Three people died and more than 260 suffered injuries as a result of his alleged actions.
In early August, a friend of the suspected bomber, Stephen Silva pleaded not guilty to trafficking heroin and possession of a handgun with a filed down serial number.

Jennifer Love Hewitt has snagged herself a hottie!
The actress and boyfriend Jarod Einsohn made their red carpet debut as a couple at Wednesday night's premiere of "Like Crazy" at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood -- where JLH was looking sexy in a tight bandage dress.
The two started dating back in August after Hewitt was quickly linked to new "Bachelor" Ben Flajnik. Jennifer broke up with boyfriend of less than a year, Alex Beh, in May.
According to IMDB, Einsohn recently appeared as "Deputy #1" on a 2010 episode of "Medium" and "Reaper Control Tech" in the Shia LaBeouf flick "Eagle Eye."

Lesson 2-5 "Home Environment"
Love the preparation suggestion #3 for this lesson - be sure, ladies, to "Make your classroom as attractive as possible for this lesson. Cover the table with a cloth and place a centerpiece on it." Giggle.
I think maybe I'll shoot for realism instead. I'll dump a basket of unsorted socks on the floor, scatter some cracker crumbs and potato chip wrappers, and place a pile of backpacks, shoes, coats, and homework folders right in front of the door to make it feel more like my home. Just kidding. Maybe.
For this lesson - "Each young woman will strive to create a home environment where the Spirit of the Lord can dwell" - a pretty straightforward goal, wouldn't you agree?
Yet there are so many ways to get there with a lesson like this!
You could go all practical - home organization, "House of Order" and similar scriptures, homemaking skills - because the Spirit recoils from messy houses (or something like that). Last year's Homemaking lesson might be a good place to begin if you feel you need to go that way. Just be aware that the next lesson has a VERY similar theme - #6 "Sharing Work in the Home" and right after that there is a four-lesson unit coming up called "Contributing to Family Life."
You could stay on the spiritual plane - perhaps using President Tanner's and Sister Cook's talks on how YW can nurture and spiritually strengthen their homes right now, and/or bringing in some of the material from Elder Bednar's Oct 09 talk on being more diligent and concerned at home - especially if you have a lot of girls who are from part-member families or who are the only member in their families. There's a lot they can do to be witnesses of God and strengths within their families. Just also be aware that #9 is a lot the same, "A Young Woman as a Peacemaker in Her Home."
You can blend the two - that there are spiritual dimensions to even the most mundane tasks of homemaking, and that spiritually nurturing homes have recognizable physical characteristics, the temple being the best model for this. Elder Stevenson's talk from May 09, "Sacred Homes, Sacred Temples" might be a good resource.
I think the end of this lesson would be a good time for a short brainstorm session about what life/home skills your girls are interested in learning, and calendaring some upcoming class activity to teach or learn those skills. You might be surprised what they don't know or what they are dying to learn how to do.
You also might be surprised that one person who can teach that skill is one of the girls themselves. A couple of weeks ago, sadly, we had a funeral in our ward for a young man in his mid-20s who died in a motorcycle accident. Our current bishop had been one of his quorum leaders when he was Priest-age and even back then this young man was really into cars, engines, motorcycles and was always fixing something up. One time when they were planning activities, the class wanted to learn about car maintenance. Well, the leader brushed this idea aside at first - since it wasn't something he knew anything about, he's not into getting under the hood of his car - but this young man spoke up: "Hey, I think that would be good. And I'll teach it." And he did. And it brought the quorum closer together and it gave this young man a chance to shine at the things he was good at and the other guys at the activity paid way more attention because it was someone their age teaching it. I've been thinking a lot about that story since then. I'm betting there are experts among our youth right under our noses, and kids who may need a chance to shine.

In my mind, isn't that the point of the entire youth program? That's why there are adult advisers, but they are the presidents. That's why youth committees have advisers.
I really like the brainstorming activity. I think we might work on that for our boys.

I am SOOOO going to do the "messy room" to start my lesson! What a great object lesson, then have them do a quick 2 minute clean up before we really get going on it. I kind of think (oops, Mormon Woman, thinking for herself, oh no! wink wink) they'll remember that longer than they'll remember a "tablecloth and centerpiece" (eyeroll here)ReplyDelete
I'm teaching this tomorrow and I think I'll use the case studies in the manual, plus a few I wrote myself, e.g. --ReplyDelete
Lindsey shares a room with her little sister, Whitney. They keep very different schedules and have totally different tastes and levels of cleanliness. It's very frustrating to both of them.
• What problems might these sisters be having?
• Are there specific skills they could apply to make things better?
• What could Lindsey do to set an example for her younger sister?
Alyssa's parents both work full time and she comes home before they do, fixes herself a snack and watches her favorite show before starting her homework. She has noticed that it gets very hectic at dinnertime, and sometimes there's shouting and bickering about whose turn it is to set the table, help with dinner, or clean up the kitchen. Sometimes they even forget to say a prayer before eating and rushing off to evening activities.
• How could Alyssa's family solve this everyday stress?
• What could Alyssa do differently, even without being asked?
Lauren just got to college and she's in a suite with 4 other women. Some of them pick up after themselves, some don't, and there are usually dishes in the sink and dried food crusted on the stove. The inside of the fridge is a scary science lab. One of her roommates says, "No guys are allowed in the suite anyway, so who cares?"
• What do you think is the spiritual atmosphere in that apartment?
• What could Lauren do to improve the situation?
Becca and Cody just got married and moved into their first apartment. Since they're renting, they can't change the awful wallpaper, shag carpet or dreary kitchen cupboards. But still, they want to make their home inviting to the Spirit and welcoming for themselves and their friends.
• What strategies might work for Becca and Cody?
• What skills do you think Becca and Cody might need to have, or develop, to make the kind of home they want?
PS, I also altered the "Anna" story because I wanted to get across the point that home environment is not just a girl's responsibility.ReplyDelete
Ann's brother often leaves the bathroom untidy and unclean. She complains daily of having to clean the dirty shower, of picking up his sweaty clothes, and of not being able to find what she needs. He seems to think cleaning is a girl's responsibility.
• How does the spiritual atmosphere in the home suffer because of her brother's neglect of basic homemaking responsibilities?
• What can Ann do in this situation?
We just had ward conference and so we are already behind - I will be teaching this lesson tomorrow. Thanks for all the helps. I agree that each YW has something to teach/share, it is sometimes hard to draw it out of them. But when you do, everyone is rewarded.ReplyDelete

Oh this 80s cake was fun and everything is edible except the Rubik's cube (we wanted her to have that to play with) and the stars stuck in the cake!
I made this cake in two 9" round pans and in 2 mini loaf pans. Everything is iced in buttercream icing.
White, golden yellow, royal blue, black, leaf green, really red and spongebob blue Wilton color gels were used to color the icing.
The idea was to have things that represented the 80's - PacMan, MTV, a "Boom" Box, the Smurfs, cheerleading (she was a cheer captain), Roller Skates and of course all the bright and funky colors.
The cake was actually a French vanilla box cake that I added vanilla pudding to in order to make it a little denser. The icing was basic buttercream. I started by icing the entire cake in white. I then blocked the cake of into 4 different sections on the sides.
PacMan: I iced this block with black for the background and then used #4 tip with white icing to create the game screen. I then added the ghost, cherries, and of course PacMan with a #2 tip.
The Smurfs: I iced this block with golden yellow and used a #16 star tip for the hat, pants, eyes and mouth. I used the #1 tip to outline the body and face and colored it in with an angled spatula in spongebob blue. I added the grass and heart with a #3 tip.
I used the #16 star tip to create the roller skate in white on a orange background (can't be seen in picture). I then wrote "Speed Skating" in green around the skate.
The Cheer Block: I iced this block in green, and used the #3 tip to draw pom poms and a megaphone in white, pink and blue. I added her school's football team's name (Tigers).
The Boom Box on top was made from Vanilla cake baked in 2 mini loaf pans. I "glued" the two loaves together with buttercream icing and then iced the entire box with royal blue. I added the white background for the tuner and then decorated with black, white and red for the knobs, volume, tuner and tape deck.
I then drew the MTV logo (old style) and added the real Rubik's cube on top. I bordered the cake with green, pink, orange and yellow to represent the funkiness that was the 80's!
This 80s cake was fun and brought back a lot of memories for the birthday girl (and for me too)!

Chronicle came out in theatres last weekend, and I have yet to actually go see it. Remember how I was raving & ranting about superheroes and how I wish I had powers? Okay, perhaps you don't remember, but I do!
Well I'm a huge fan of superheroes, and I'm willing to admit that I can be sort of a geek when it comes to Marvel Comics & DC Comics. If I had to choose between Batman & Superman, I would choose Batman due to his innovative crime fighting skills. I mean he is an average guy with no real powers, but he still kicks butt. Pretty dope if you ask me.
I mean think of it, Superman is basically indestructible. The only thing that can really stop him is Kryptonite. But back in the day, DC Comics decided they needed to switch things up; killing off Superman was the next best course of action, and a way to piss off the fans. Not only did it piss off fans, but it created so much confusion!
All the confusion of the death of Superman (following his return) is something that comic fans have had heated discussions over for years, but Max Landis (co-writer of Chronicle) decided to release a hilarious live-action parody (released same day as Chronicle) that provides viewers with his perspective on "The Death And Return of Superman." The film is a little over 16 minutes in runtime, and it's basically inspired by Max Landis' "drunk history" short films.
If you happen to be one of those geeks/nerds out there that was upset/confused/annoyed at the death of Superman & the chaos, then you might want to check out Max Landis' hilarious short film The Death And Return of Superman. The narratation and the cheap live-action costumes & acting create a short film that is innovative, riveting, and evokes a major LMAO moment. The video even stars Simon Pegg, Elijah Wood, Mandy Moore, and many more, so you'll want to watch the full thing to experience the essence of Max Landis and his witty sense of humor.

Hair Care
Eco Attributes Reinvent the Ethnic Hair Care Segment
By: Elle Morris
Posted: June 7, 2011, from the June 2011 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 3 of 3
The popularity of organic and natural ethnic hair care products has translated to the retail environment too, with major mass retailers such as Target dedicating more shelf space to ethnic organic beauty products and going beyond traditional relaxers to offer more premium options traditionally sold only through specialty outlets, including Miss Jessie's Curls and the Jane Carter Solution line. Organic ethnic hair care products are also making appearances on TV home-shopping networks like HSN and QVC.
Ethnic hair care has come a long way from lye relaxers, and the relevance of natural positioning is not expected to fade anytime in the near future. In fact, as more brands leverage eco-attributes and natural positioning, the multicultural, or "multitextural," consumer is likely to get more attention at mass, with more marketing spending dedicated to address the specific hair care needs of blended consumers.
Further, the term "ethnic" will become more antiquated during the next decade, as brands become more global and consumers outside the U.S. resonate less with the term. The saturation of this segment will continue, and in an effort to relate more authentically to their consumers, ethnic hair care brands are also more likely to incorporate greater cultural relevance in communicating with their consumers across marketing channels such as social media, direct mail and TV. Additionally, there will likely be further leveraging of word-of-mouth as a key influencer via product sampling and health-related education.
As more products are introduced into the ethnic hair care segment with similar claims, ethnic consumers can look forward to greater innovation related to the performance of organic lines with less concern for traditional ingredients. As the unique relationship between ethnic consumers and their hair continues, they will also continue to purchase many different products in an effort to find one that is effective. However, brands that do succeed in connecting with this consumer and empower her to make more informed choices are likely to benefit for many years to come.
