Thousands Protest Against the Government in Bangkok
More than 100,000 people rallied in an anti-government protest at the home of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra in Bangkok, Thailand, on Sunday. Although Shinawatra dissolved the nation's parliament earlier this month and called for new elections to be held on Feb. 2, that has not reduced tensions among Democrats.

Eider dedicated extra attention to designing a jacket sharing the name of a prime ski town, and the resulting Jackson Hole Jacket would make its namesake proud. Elder's proprietary Defender shell couples with a Cormax lining for a combination of weather resistance and comfort. Strategically insulated, the arms and body offer specific heat retention based on the body's needs during high aerobic output in a cold environment.
- Critical seam taping prevents moisture from soaking through
- Removable hood and removable powder skirt let the Jackson Hole convert from an all-mountain must to an around-town casual coat
- Underarm zip vents allow you to control your body temp
- Plentiful pockets keep you organized so you don't have to waste time fumbling for a lost or buried trail map

Amazing Jacket
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
- Fit:True to size
Bought this jacket before a 4 day ski trip in February, and I've never been so pleased. Used in 0 Fahrenheit with just a base layer while downhill skiing and felt almost a bit warm, had to open the underarm zip vents to cool off a couple times. Hood also fits nicely over a helmet.
Can't get much better
Incredible in every way. Worth the money. Just wish it had more pockets.
Best jacket I've ever owned
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
For as long as I can remember I have been layering and using a shell. I guess I stubbornly thought that anything else would be too bulky or heavy. After a season in this jacket I will never go back to my old ways.
The shell is really lightweight and stretchy but absolutely bombproof. I was skiing tight trees last year and snagged a thick branch head on with enough force to completely take me out. I thought for sure I'd ripped something but when I looked I couldn't even tell where the branch had snagged.
The down along the back is perfect for the lifts but is not too hot for spring skiing or touring. The underarm vents are pretty large so it doesn't take long to cool off it you need to. The zippers never snag and the pockets are large enough to fit your lunch. Even the powder skirt works better than any jacket I've had in the past.
I really can't say enough good things about this jacket. It's light, it's warm, it's bomber.
Fully featured at a great price!
The defender twill fabric on the exterior of this jacket is very unique and soft. Open it up and see the down lining on the back and you'll know it's super warm and comfy on the chairlifts. Removable hood and skirt, along with the fantastic fit and styling make it a great piece for skiing and nights on the town!
cool fabric
look closely and you will see this jacket has a visual texture. Easy to wear on the mountain or around town. This is our best selling color and fabric, see for your self how comfortable it is and of course it does have the lycra wrist gaitors like all the Eider jackets!
Have you any other good waterproof jackets...
Have you any other good waterproof jackets like this on with more pockets & on special as I am thinking of Postage cost to add on to the cost of the jacket to South Australia. Ian

Conference Paper: A combined approach to ITS vulnerability and survivability analyses[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We now live in a digital society where day-to-day operations are optimized by complex real-time control systems. Our surface transportation infrastructure has evolved to a level of complexity where intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are essential for large urban environments. Our surface transportation infrastructure is a highly complex system subject to day-to-day operations with different levels of recurring congestion, stresses from special events, and damage from natural disasters, accidents, sabotage, and nuisance attacks. Under normal traffic conditions, ITS operation is optimized for system-wide objective functions (i.e., minimize network-wide delay or maximize throughput), and travelers modify their behavior accordingly by alternating their departure time, travel route, or mode of travel. This work presents a security and survivability analysis of the City of Moscow, Idaho ITS project, which is now under development.

Palladino: Thrilling weekend for Chere
By 5 p.m., his cell phone battery was dead, overwhelmed by text and voice messages from well wishers, and calls from race fans looking for tips. It was just as well. The Preakness was 90 minutes away and there was a lot to do.
He checked out the horse in the paddock. Ring Weekend looked calm and ready to race. He walked his horse to the turf infield where Preakness horses are saddled in front of the main grandstand.
Not wanting to miss the post parade, Dr. Mitchell Chere of Watertown, one of 10 owners of a champion 3-year-old named Ring Weekend, dashed to the owners box to watch the running of the 139th Preakness.
Out of the gate, things did not go as planned. Ring Weekend was bumped and boxed and trapped in eighth place out of the post.
"Our horse was knocked sideways out of the gate, and that took our plan out," Chere said. "It was impossible to win once we got pinched back with that situation at the gate. We wanted our horse to run a little with California Chrome, but he got banged inside.
"Woulda, shoulda, coulda. We ran fifth."
California Chrome, the star thoroughbred who has now won the first two races of the Triple Crown, ran away from the field in another impressive performance.
Was it a disaster for Chere and the management team of West Point Thoroughbreds? Absolutely not. Chere was thrilled that Ring Weekend charged through the field and rallied to the third position by the final turn. The horse was
See WEEKEND, Page 9B
so fast that he had to be steadied, twice, as he ran up on the leaders. That's not good. There was too much ground to make up, too much turbulence, and too little room.
The run to fifth earned $45,000, give or take. That paid a lot of bills and gave the West Point group confidence that a cleaner ride at Belmont could bring a great result. Maybe even an historic result.
It was a Triple Crown weekend, no matter the finish.
Chere returned home Sunday afternoon and went back to work as a doctor in the Franklin Group in Prospect. The glamorous world of thoroughbred racing and the chase of a Triple Crown victory is on hold now, until June 7 in New York.
The Watertown man missed out on the Kentucky Derby experience when Ring Weekend took ill days before the race. But the Doc got his shot Saturday. Now he wants another.
"When people look at the outcome of the race, they will think, 'You did not win, so you lost,'" Chere said. "That is not true. You can play a good game and lose. Ring Weekend ran a great race."
After the race Chere visited with Ring Weekend, and then enjoyed a party in the stakes barn that was the thrill of a lifetime.
"It was an unbelievable experience," Chere said. "A great thing about the Preakness, that I was not aware of, is that after the race in the stakes barn with all the horses, the owners and trainers and jockeys and grooms have a huge party. To be around all these horse people, to laugh and talk about the race, to meet Art Sherman and Steve Coburn (trainer and owner of California Chrome), was remarkable. Can it ever get better than that?"
Well, maybe. Coburn is, as described by Chere, "The one with the cowboy hat. He really is a great guy. I wish him the best. I feel a personal connection with him now."
And now, count Chere among the legion of California Chrome fans, sort of.
"If I can't beat him, I hope he wins," the Doc said.
But he really, really wants to beat him.
"I did not know how amazing it is to be a part of something like this," Chere said. "I got close at the Derby, but the Preakness lived up to any expectations that I had, and more. It was overwhelming, and exciting, and a privilege to be part of it. It was a great honor to be among the horse racing greats."
Chere rubbed elbows with horsemen, and walks away a horseman, too.
Now the wait, and hope, begins for Belmont. Ring Weekend was a bit scratched a dinged after the rough ride, but 24 hours after the race Chere's phone did not ring. That means that his horse came through a rugged Grade I stakes race sound and healthy.
All he can say on the record is this: "If Ring Weekend continues to come out of the Preakness as he did, Belmont will be strongly considered."
Sounds to me like a thoroughbred horse we know will make a trip to Belmont in the next few weeks, and a local horseman will again enjoy a Triple Crown dream.

Welcome to Safe Routes to School of Central Alabama!
In 1979, approximately 47% of students walked or biked to school. Today, that number is at 13%.
In Alabama, it's even lower as approximately only 3% of students walk or bike to school.
During a similar time frame as this decrease in physical activity, the obesity rate and occurrence of related chronic diseases have dramatically increased.
Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is a movement to create safe, convenient and fun opportunities for students to walk and bike to school.
Safe Routes to School of Central Alabama is a joint initiative of United Way of Central Alabama and the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham which promotes SRTS locally. SRTS is an initiative which concurrently supports behavioral and environmental changes to create a healthier community. SRTS partners with schools to educate and encourage students to walk to school; and works with cities to improve infrastructure to be more conducive for walking and biking. The initiative strives to accomplish several objectives including increased physical activity, increased safety, traffic mitigation, and improved air quality.
SRTS of Central Alabama's signature program is the Walking School Bus. Walking School Bus (WSB) routes function like bus routes, but students are walking instead of riding, and supervised by adult volunteers.
The program continues to grow as students walked over 560 miles the first year (2011-12), and over 1,325 miles the second year (2012-2013) at three Birmingham City Schools. In the 2013-14 school years, SRTS of Central Alabama expanded to work on different events with ten schools in five school districts. This expansion included hosting eight bicycle rodeos, coordinating National Walk to School Day events at seven schools with over 1,000 students participating, and hosting a Bike to School Day event with 120 students participating.
As a result, students are increasing their amount of physical activity with a goal of improved wellness. Long-term, SRTS creates a culture of active transportation so that people habitually choose walking and cycling as modes of transportation; improving local health outcomes.

Best Collaboration (2012)
Paper Bird and Ballet Nouveau Colorado
Coming on the heels of a pauper's life of dumpster diving and living in a bus powered by veggie oil, Paper Bird teamed up with Ballet Nouveau Colorado for the grant-fueled project of Carry On, which took the former to a new world of highbrow art, writing songs for a companion ballet production. Ballet Nouveau Colorado was likewise suddenly exposed to an audience of dusty freegans, traveling by road bike to the sober world of silent dance. And we all got a new Paper Bird album out of it, 2011's Carry On. The two worlds will collide again this September, treating Denver to another round of the unlikely collaboration.

Your camera is a powerful adventurer, but it has avoided weekend camping trips since the incident back in '09.
Misty lakes? Morning dew? Flying marshmallows? That's scary stuff.
The DryZone Duffle is waterproof sealed and padded for protection, so your camera no longer needs to fear the great outdoors.
Not only is the outer shell airtight and waterproof, the inside is a removable cushioned bag that protects your gear from scrapes and bumps.
This yellow submarine of a bag is full of space for anything you wish to keep dry. It'll hold your dSLR, phone, a couple extra lenses and socks. Wet socks are the worst.
Kayak to your heart's content with this bright yellow bag at your side. Your camera will stay bone dry through a full underwater dunk. No joke!
So when your boat flips in the river (again!), at least your gear will be safe.

Free Agency 2010 is upon us, and players are ready to hear those hilarious little sales pitches by the Nationals and Royals.
This Friday the 20th is the first day unrestricted free agents can sign with new clubs. We know you lovely ladies and gents don't want to spend all your time thinking about the top players that the Cardinals could sign (I'd say "should" but I know better) to improve the ballclub, so we here at the CD decided to give you a little rundown of our top 25 free agents, and where we think they'll sign. As an added bonus (mostly because this FA class is God-awful), we each threw in five extra guys in order to drop a little more knowledge on you.
It'll probably be a major upset if either of us hit on more than five or six of these, but we're shooting for perfection. Hooks and I are cocky bastards, what can I say? And even if we miss a few here and there, I couldn't imagine any of you bookmarking this page and continuously coming back to tell us how big of jackasses we are. That would…never…happen?
So without further ado, here are the top free agents for this '09/'010 offseason, and where they will land – including special DVD commentary by Mr. Hooks himself:
1) Matt Holliday (Hooks: Mets. HMW: Red Sox.) – We had him, dammit. We HAD him.
2) Jason Bay (Hooks: Red Sox. HMW: Giants.) – Like Holliday, this guy seems like a Cardinal. Unlike Holliday, he's not going to stab us in the back.
3) Chone Figgins (Hooks: Angels. HMW: Phillies.) – White people hate his name, but love his game… HI-YO!
4) John Lackey (Hooks: Yankees. HMW: Tigers.) – And…we've got ourselves a pretty weak free agent class.
5) Aroldis Chapman (Hooks: Red Sox. HMW: Red Sox.) – Yes. I've read the stories. Yes. I'm on the Kool-Aid.
6) Jon Garland (Hooks: Dodgers. HMW: Brewers.) – Being able to take the ball every year for 200 innings and keep your team in a game is worth it.
7) Erik Bedard (Hooks: Angles. HMW: Cardinals.) – Hasn't put it together, but hasn't played on a good team either.
8.) Ben Sheets (Hooks: Rangers. HMW: Rangers.) – His recent injuries make him a risk. But worth a two year gamble.
9) Adrian Beltre (Hooks: Phillies. HMW: Twins.) – Get this guy in a bandbox ballpark with that D and you've got a possible all-star.
10) Randy Wolf (Hooks: Mets. HMW: Mets.) – Blah.
11) Rafael Soriano (Hooks: Cardinals. HMW: Yankees.) – Go get him Cardinals. Get him now.
12) Vladimir Guerrero (Hooks: Angels. HMW: Yankees.) – He may be done. But if he isn't, he's right behind Holliday and Bay when it comes to an impact bat.
13) Jermaine Dye (Hooks: Cardinals. HMW: Rangers.) – Seems like the White Sox are pulling the plug early on him.
14) Mark DeRosa (Hooks: Cardinals. HMW: Cardinals.) – Valuable because of his D at multiple positions.
15) Xavier Nady (Hooks: Diamondbacks. HMW: Rays.) – Based solely on the fact that Scott Boras would rep him.
16) Nick Johnson (Hooks: Mariners. HMW: Orioles.) – This guy used to be pretty good.
17) Joel Pinero (Hooks: Marlins. HMW: Phillies.) – Not nearly worth the money he's demanding. Great 2009 season, though.
18) Miguel Tejada (Hooks: A's. HMW: Astros.) – Quietly a very solid 2009 season. Besides the whole lying about his age thing.
19) Johnny Damon (Hooks: Yankees. HMW: Yankees.) – Remember when he dumped his ugly wife when he got paid in Boston for a hot one? She does.
20) Marco Scutaro (Hooks: Red Sox. HMW: Tigers.) – I'm starting to hate this FA class. Damn you Holliday!
21) Mike Cameron (Hooks: Padres. HMW: Cubs.) – Again, I searched this list hard and could only come up with Mike Cameron.
22) Orlando Hudson (Hooks: Nationals. HMW: Nationals.) – When is this guy not a free agent?
23) Carl Pavano (Hooks: Nationals. HMW: Astros.) – God, how great for the Post and Daily News would it be if he came back to NYC?
24) Doug Davis (Hooks: Brewers. HMW: Brewers.) – He pitches. That's the best thing I can say about Doug Davis. He pitches.
25) John Smoltz (Hooks: Cardinals. HMW: Cardinals.) – A good dude to have hanging around on a good team with playoff hopes.
Wild Cards (Hooks):
1) Rich Harden (Cubs) – This could be the steal of the 2010 class. Or more likely, the biggest waste.
2) Carlos Delgado (Orioles) – As a DH with a one year contract? Could provide huge ROI.
3) Jason Marquis (Rockies) – Excellent 2009 season, but we've seen him shit the bed many times. Can he repeat?
4) Hideki Matsui (Japan) – Will he accept a DH only role? Can his knees hold up?
5) Andy Pettitte (Yankees) – Is he valuable to anyone other than the Yankees? Will he go anywhere else?
Wild Cards (HMW):
1) Rich Harden (Cardinals) – I realize it's wishful thinking to bring in Bedard, Smoltz, and Harden, but these are all short-term gambles. Roll the dice, and let's see what happens.
2) Dick Ankiel (Pirates) – Sorry Rick, but this about sums it up.
3) Hank Blalock (Cardinals) – Hey Cardinals, worth a shot? I'm not even a fan of him, but I wouldn't mind Hanky B off the bench. Whenever extremely cheap, buy-low guys like this pop up, I always think of the Cardinals. Hmm…
4) Randy Johnson (Nationals) – You'll remember the day when you heard this news, and said to yourself, "Wow, Randy Johnson, you're a whore." I'm actually predicting this in hopes that he'll take Strasburg under his wing and teach him proper mullet-grooming techniques.
5) Russell Branyan (Mariners) – Runner up in the bidding? My Thursday night slow-pitch softball team.
Honorable Mention: Craig Counsell (cardsdiaspora.com) – We might have to sell a few more ads to Applebee's (or have a good night in the alley playing craps), but I'd love to buy Craig Counsell just to punch his face every day from March through September.
Think you can do better? Throw some predictions out in the comments and then you'll be allowed to talk shit down the road. Just don't do it to our faces, we're fragile.

Hawk takes readers on a ride that doesn't stop until its chilling conclusion. Madeline LeBlanc is a character who's easy to like and extremely unusual. Her development throughout is wonderful; she's worth spending more than 500 pages with. The story starts off slow, but once the action picks up, it doesn't stop and leads readers down a mesmerizing trail. Flashbacks create tension and an intense reading experience.
Psychologist Madeline LeBlanc hasn't had an easy life, and her work has mostly been centered on trying to figure out the causes of her father's cognitive schizophrenia. After Madeline's brother commits suicide, she takes a close look at her family's past, including her own childhood in the Louisiana bayou. In the process, she brings up memories and actions that some people don't want remembered. Soon Madeline is in grave danger from those she never expected. (FORGE, Sep., 544 pp., $14.99)

The MOWA Band of Choctaw Indians are a state-recognized Native American tribe located in southern Alabama, primarily in Washington and Mobile counties. The MOWA Choctaw Reservation is located along the banks of the Mobile and Tombigbee rivers, on 300 acres (1.2 km²) near the small southwestern Alabama communities of McIntosh, Mount Vernon and Citronelle, and north of Mobile. In addition to those members on the reservation, about 3,600 tribal citizens live in 10 small settlements near the reservation community. They are led by elected Chief Framon Weaver.[2] They claim descent from small groups of Choctaw and other Native Americans of Mississippi and Alabama, who avoided removal to Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma at the time of the 1830 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek.
Since the mid-19th century, the MOWA Choctaw have attempted to gain federal recognition.
This area of frontier Alabama had been inhabited for thousands of years by indigenous cultures. The Mississippian culture is believed to have been ancestral to the historical tribes of the Muskogean-speaking Creek and Choctaw, who dominated the area in historic times.
The first European settlers in Mobile and southern Alabama in the 18th century were Roman Catholic French and later Spanish. The area was governed by nationals of these two countries before the British took it over. English and Scots traders arrived before the American Revolutionary War and were followed by settlers arriving in the early 19th century.
Some Native Americans who came to this area were refugees after the Creek War (1813-1814). Others were Choctaw who refused removal to the Indian Territory in 1830. By their treaty, they were allowed to stay as state (and US) residents if they gave up Choctaw tribal membership. In 1835 the state government built the Weaver Indian school at Mount Vernon, Alabama, with labor supplied by the Choctaw. Before the American Civil War, the Choctaw were at risk in periodic "Indian roundups" by the federal government, as well as in raids by slave traders.[1] During these decades they sometimes intermarried with European Americans.
Numerous references in historical records note the presence of Choctaw Indians in this part of Alabama. Historically, there were recognized Indian schools in the counties.[1]
With increasing Native American activism across the country, the Choctaw insisted on their right to self-identification and recognition. In 1979, the Choctaw in this area of Alabama organized as the MOWA Band of Choctaw Indians. "MOWA" is a contraction of Mobile and Washington, the two counties which this group inhabits. Its tribal office is located in McIntosh. The MOWA Band of Choctaw Indians achieved the honor of becoming the first State Recognized Tribe by the State of Alabama in 1979.[2]
State Recognized Tribal members purchased their first 160 acres (0.65 km2) of land in south Washington County in 1983. The State of Alabama has recognized their land as a reservation. They descend from several Indian tribes: Choctaw, Creek, Cherokee, Mescalero, and Apache. Their annual cultural festival, which includes Choctaw social dancing, stickball games, a Choctaw princess contest, and an inter-tribal pow wow, is held on the third weekend of June on their reservation lands.
The MOWA petitioned the federal government for federal recognition as an Indian tribe. In 1994 the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) denied the MOWA petition. The Choctaw note numerous historical factors have made it difficult for them to satisfy BIA requirements: differences in traditional naming practices and difficulty in following name variations through records; the US government's inconsistency in record keeping, etc.
One such example which ties more than 70-75% of the tribal members ancestry to the so-called Cecil Weatherford since her name was to be Cecil Weathers in the Catholic Baptismal Records in 1814. However, her name was Cecil Weather however, and she was the daughter of one William Weathers from the U.S. Census of 1810 in Baldwin County Alabama. Cecil Weathers was also the daughter of Nancy Fisher of the Creek "Fish Clan" (several other Fishers would later be removed to Oklahoma after the 1830s removal period. However, Cecil's Children of Dave Weaver, became Weavers and Chestangs and then married into the Reed families (Hardy Reed and Rose or Rosa Reed) both of Alabama Indian descent (Creek/Choctaw).
The issue presented here is that Nancy Fisher is recognized as Creek, Hardy Reed is recognized as Creek, and even Cecil Weathers (not Weatherford is recognized as Creek - all Alabama Indians - Creek/Muskogee/Cherokee/Choctaw/etc. being names given by Europeans). Cecil is the daughter of William Weathers (later the family surname would be changed to Weathersford and then to Weatherford finally and he was later given the moniker "Red Eagle" and made a "Chief" as well - but he lived in a Planter's Home and was given quite an estate by General Andrew Jackson for his clever role in the Fort Mims Massacre).
So the result is that the BIA was not submitted the evidence which Matte was privileged with that would tie the Weathers family surname to the Weatherford family name and thus, no Federal Recognition was granted to the MOWA Choctaw Band of Choctaw Indians. Hardy Reed and his descendents were also summarily discounted by review since the attention was aimed at Rose Reed and her upbringing by her father's slave and not the Native American Indian husband to which she had several children with. Dave Weaver and Byrd families are historical Cherokee but these families are also discounted from the review by the BIA as not enough evidence was submitted or not in time.
Ethnic identity[edit]
The historian Jacqueline Anderson Matte notes that the Choctaw have preserved their identity by cultural practices:
"The strongest evidence of the MOWA Choctaws' Indian ancestry is not, however, found in written documents; it is found in their lives. Their ancestors passed to them their Choctaw Indian and African identity and traditions, persevering and preserving their heritage despite a long history of persecution and discrimination. Interviews with elders reveal stories of survival by hunting, fishing, trapping, and sharing the kill; rituals related to marriage, birth, and death; customs associated with gardening, medicinal plants, logging, dipping turpentine, and restricted communication with outsiders; and ancestral relationships told generation to generation. Despite hardships, the Choctaw Indian community north of Mobile persisted as a system of social relationships solidified within ceremonial gathering areas, churches, schools, cemeteries, and kin-based villages. Reduced in numbers, and increasingly a dominated minority in their own homeland, the ancestors of the MOWA Choctaws made new alliances."
Leon Taylor, a revered elder, said in testimony to the US Senate: "Today, I am Choctaw. My mother was Choctaw. My grandfather was Choctaw. Tomorrow, I will still be Choctaw."[1]

Very, very, very fun
Reviewed: 24 April 2015 by Xxhollyfxx, a Straight Single Female
The product comes in a box with 3 candles wrapped up.
The product works by lighting the wick and letting it burn until the wax starts to melt and then pour it on to the body.
The wax does not burn, the wax is more like the heat of when you get a wax in a salon. The candle does not leave marks on the skin for too long, and is very fun to use in the bedroom. It is very fun after, picking the wax off.
- Pros
- The heat of the candle.
- Cons
- Nothing to dislike .
- Bottom line
- Great fun, easy to use and fun picking off after.

OMG! I was so excited to try these and, boy, was I happy.
I enjoyed my partner using them on me and also using them on him. They were hot, but didn't burn my skin or leave marks, which I appreciated.
I would definitely recommend them if you are interested in heat play, and they are a fair price for the three candles.
Give them a try - you won't regret it!
- Pros
- Fair price and fun.

- Nothing.

Amazing sensations
Reviewed: 28 August 2014 by Tink_sixes, a Straight Going Steady Female
One word - wow! This is such an erotic experience, I would definitely recommend.
These had been on my wishlist for a while. We had been playing with bondage and temperature play, and this was really something I wanted to try. When I finally ordered them I was so excited.
As always LH did not disappoint. They arrived the next day in the usual discreet box. When that box was opened sitting in my little package were 3 candles in a colourful cardboard box.
When I opened the box they were in a small clear plastic bag, and to my surprise when I opened them they were lightly scented, and smelled great!
You can control the severity of the sensation by how high you hold the candle. The closer it is to you the less time the wax has to cool, and the sharper the sensation. They had me so turned on, simply amazing!
- Pros
- Colour, smell and feel.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- So glad I got to try.

BB candles are hot stuff
Reviewed: 03 April 2014 by KinkyFuckery, a Straight Going Steady Female
I bought these candles to experiment as I really enjoy hot wax. I have used other wax candles in the past.
I wanted something that my boyfriend could use all over my body as and where he likes.
The candles come in a box with 3 candles inside - red, blue and white.
Easy to use. sSimply light the wick and get ready to drip the wax whereever you see fit.
My boyfriend had a whale of a time playing with these candles. I enjoyed it as I didn't know when or where he was going to drop the next droplet of wax, which is a great build-up to heighten.
The higher the candle is, the cooler the wax is when it gets in contact to your skin. The lower, the hotter and more of a sting it has.
Amazing sensation when you don't know what is coming next.
Blindfolded on your back, your partner in control, not knowing where the wax is going to fall, is definitely one hot kinky night of fun.
Highly recommend, these beauties.
If you are looking to get into wax play, don't use the household ones. Buy the ones that allow you to enjoy play and be safe and not damage or burn your skin, just heighten your lover's senses.
- Pros
- Great product.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Full hot wax play, amazing, enjoy your own kinky night.

Amazing, test your limits
Reviewed: 09 January 2014 by kinky-for-you, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
These candles burn at a lower temp then normal ones. You can use them at varied heights to increase or decrease the sting they create. They are amazing and leave your skin so sensitive after. I started having them held quite high and lowered with each drop.
Different parts of your body are more sensitive to the heat so obviously be careful but I certainly recommend them for that kinky night in!
The wax peels off really easily too, but make sure you have a suitable candle holder available if you plan on altering sensations. Ice is mind-boggling combined with these!

- Kink factor.

- Nothing.

Michael Christopher Brown for Newsweek
Standing in a room in some compound on the outskirts of Misrata, I did not have time to think. Guards shuffled people in and out of the room quickly, and with every picture I took, a guard was shaking me to go. I tried to go inside the room again, and eventually made three trips—ultimately photographing National Transitional Council leader Mustafa Abdul Jalil looking over the body of Gaddafi amidst the crowd.
After months of getting to know the Libyan people and learning about the horrors they endured under Gaddafi, it was strange to see the man—the dictator—lying in a refrigerated room on a mattress, uncovered and scraped of life. The man was stripped of his robes and power, and could now have been any one of the hundreds of dead I have seen in this war.
Many walked out of that room with deep feeling showing in their faces. Smiling but not really smiling—showing an expression that betrays a depth of emotion for which there are few words. The Libyan people were finally standing over this man who had taken everything from them, and tomorrow they will see a new beginning. A man dead and a new country is born.
Michael Christopher Brown has been photographing in Libya on and off since February 2011.

Article Summary
We've been following the development of Tobii's impressive eye-tracking technology for several years now, but it looks like consumers may actually get a chance to try it out for themselves in the not too distant future. Thanks to a partnership with SteelSeries, an eye tracker specifically for gamers is set to hit the market later this year, but that still leaves the question of what the technology can actually bring to video games. Fortunately, we were able to catch up with Tobii CEO Henrik Eskilsson on the CES show floor and try it out for ourselves.

Chronic Disease Management Following Discharge From Post-Acute TBI Rehabilitation – A Pilot Study
There are an estimated 80 billion neurons involved in information processing (cognitive activity) and each neuron can have as many as 20,000 connections.
Welcome to The Transitional Learning Center, a national pioneer in post-acute care for patients with acquired brain injury, which was founded in Galveston by philanthropist Robert L. Moody, Sr., after his son was badly injured in an auto accident over 30 years ago. Mr. Moody recognized the critical need for brain injury rehabilitation facilities during his son's recovery. Since then, he has directed more money toward this field and has been directly responsible for helping the more than 2000 patients we have served re-enter the community.
Since our inception in 1982, The Transitional Learning Center (TLC) is one of the few post-acute brain injury rehabilitation facilities to maintain its sole specialty in providing brain injury rehabilitation and treatment. TLC's program offers a full continuum of care for survivors of acquired brain injury, which include traumatic brain injury, stroke, CVA, anoxia, encephalitis and other etiologies resulting in brain injury. Our inpatient program allows for complex, more medically involved patients an opportunity to transition from a comprehensive rehabilitation setting to a more community reentry based program and/or vocational programming as their functioning improves. On-site apartments provide an opportunity for patients to practice independent living strategies in a safe environment. For patients living close to the campus, TLC offers an integrated day program and single service out-patient treatment, all focusing on the cognitive difficulties patients often suffer as a result of their brain injury.
The growing need for long-term supported living became evident years ago. In an effort to meet that need, TLC created TideWay on Galveston Island. Initially, an eight bed facility on the West End of Galveston Island, TideWay quickly grew and the need for expansion became clear. In 2004, TideWay relocated to its present location and expanded. Now a 32 bed program, TideWay continues to meet the needs of survivors of brain injury by offering the finest long-term living facility in the country. For patients who are unable to benefit from the services of a comprehensive post-acute brain injury rehabilitation program, who are unable to return to an independent lifestyle, and whose caregivers are no longer able to take care of them, TideWay on Galveston Island offers long-term and respite services for caregivers of individuals with brain injuries.
In the Spring of 2008, TLC expanded to Lubbock, TX., which already offered extraordinary healthcare resources. By locating our newest facility in Lubbock, TLC is able to bring an important service to the Southwest market; a market that was underserved when it came to comprehensive postacute brain injury rehabilitation.

The President Again Tries to Right the Ship

- November 25, 2015

With the country shaken by the bloodshed in Paris, nervous about attacks at home, and concerned about an influx of refugees from the Middle East, many presidents would take to the airwaves for a prime-time address to reassure an anxious nation. But that is not President Obama's preferred way to use the bully pulpit.
Instead, after a week out of the country and out of sight for most Americans, Obama on Tuesday used his third press conference in eight days to persuade Americans it is safe to follow their daily routines and to reassert his command of the war against terrorism.
Basking in praise from visiting French President Francois Hollande, who stood at an adjoining lectern in the East Room, the American president found himself playing catch-up in the wake of the multiple assaults in Paris and the rising intensity of the political cri...

Imagine interviewing for a top-level job where the hiring committee hasn't gotten around to reading your resume, but HR keeps polling its members anyway to see if you should be brought back for the next round of interviews—and all the while, you're sinking toward bankruptcy.
Even worse, imagine that the hiring committee is instead leaning toward a TV game show host and a motivational speaker, neither of whom has any obvious relevant experience for the job.
A dozen Republican presidential candidates don't need to imagine any of this. They've been living it most of this year—the potential victims of surveys that shouldn't actually matter yet.

Is Ben Carson the New Republican Frontrunner?
- By Molly Ball
- November 12, 2015
- Leave a comment
MILWAUKEE—Ben Carson came out to address the media after Tuesday night's debate, emerging in the spin room with his typical air of beatific nonchalance. He was immediately engulfed by dozens of microphones and cameras; a reporter for the Daily Mail began shouting questions about new factual discrepancies in his autobiography. "Did you attack your mother with a hammer, or did she attack you?" the reporter shouted. "Are you running away from this question?" Carson simply ignored him and kept walking.
Off to the side of the surging mass of media, Carson's campaign manager, a heavyset career operative named Barry Bennett, was exuberant. Had Carson won the debate? "I only care about the bank account, and we did well with that," he said. The former neurosurgeon's campaign had already taken in $6 million since the beginning of the month, $1 million the day of the debate alone.
The media are starting to call Carson the new frontrunner. He had a one-point lead over Donald Trump in the latest national poll. The past week saw him pass his first major test with surprising deftness, making a plausible defense against accusations he stretched the truth in his bestselling memoir...
Biden to Clinton and the Rest of DC: Stop the Madness
- By Ron Fournier
- October 21, 2015
- Leave a comment
"I believe we're out of time," Joe Biden said Wednesday of his opportunity to seek the Democratic presidential nomination. Then the vice president warned Washington's political class that its time was running out.
Stop fighting, he said. Stop the madness.
"I believe that we have to end the divisive partisan politics that is ripping this country apart. And I think we can. It's mean-spirited, it's petty, and it's gone on for much too long," Biden said in the Rose Garden alongside his wife, Jill, and President Obama. "Four more years of this kind of pitched battle may be more than this country can take."
The bulk of his speech was an affirmation of Obama's presidency and the increasingly liberal Democratic agenda: Reduce the income gap, increase social mobility, eliminate large and secret campaign donations, extend pub...
Does Hillary Clinton Have a Problem With Male Voters?
- By Josh Kraushaar
- October 8, 2015
- Leave a comment
When Hillary Clinton entered the presidential race, she expected to win overwhelming support among women in her bid to become the first female president. Instead, she's finding out that an unprecedented level of resistance to her candidacy among men is undermining the conventional wisdom that she'd be the strongest Democratic nominee in the general election.
Put another way: Clinton is now nearly as unpopular with men as Donald Trump is with women. That's saying something.
The latest round of polling for Clinton is brutal. This week's NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist survey in Iowashows her favorability rating with men at a mere 27 percent, while two-thirds view her unfavorably. Her minus-39 net favorability with men is 28 points worse than Vice President Joe Biden and 27...

Suzuki Boulevard C50 Bobber Build FINAL DAY
WOOHOO It's DONE! And it is AWESOME! I LOVE the way it came out both in appearance and especially the way it rides! I think most of the difference is all the parts I replaced - new shock and all new bearings - plus the BlueCollarBobbers.com seat is OUTSTANDING. Absolutely perfect, you just float down the road in style! It finally stopped raining long enough to give it a wash, revealing the GORGEOUS white walls! I went down to the gas station to fill her up and had a blast through the neighborhood. I got the garage all cleaned back up, tools away (I really need a big tool chest now) and did the official 'after' photoshoot. I also go over the costs of the project in detail, plus talk about what worked well and what didn't so if you are interested in your own project you have a better understanding of what to expect. Oh yeah, I talk about some STUPID mistakes I made so you can avoid them. Big props again to BlueCollarBobbers for the excellent quality parts!

King of the Hill-I tell ya what, this severely underrated television show parodying small town American life tells the ever-increasingly ridiculous story of the Hill family. Chock full of dry humor and subtlety, this comedy is pure gold and worth several viewings, just skip the last season. (movies.netflix.com)

Colours are lovely. This is proper pre-Halloween atmosphere
i love how the light breaks through the trees good work.
it looks really eerie!
Excellent work!
I love those energetic fall pictures with the yellow sun and colorful leaves, but they always feel kind of fairytaleish to me. This picture captures perfectly the side of autumn, that Im used to. Bit foggy and bleak.. always so damp, that you never know if it has just stopped raining or is it starting to any moment now. I like it a lot. Tough it has this gloomy aspect to it, its also kind of refreshing and lively with those natural colors. Great photo, well done! (:
Beautiful, really love this
this is so beautiful!
A very beautiful, almost emotional picture Tomi!
Your works are very subtle...
awesome! light and colors are great!
I like that lonely feeling in this photo. Looks like it's a long road ahead...

Volunteers are needed to help pack food boxes of like items or simply break down larger donated totes of food to more manageable sizes.
Sometimes the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank receives food items in bulk quantities. To help distribute the bulk food more efficiently, volunteers are needed to repackage the bulk food items into family size portions.
Volunteers are needed to sort donated food items and check expiration dates. The items are then sorted and distributed to our shopping area shelves where our partner agencies shop.
Each month more than 5,100 ElderShare supplemental food boxes need to be packed for distribution to qualified senior citizens. These boxes require a monthly or quarterly shift commitment of three or six hours.
Periodically departments within the office are looking for assistance with bulk mailings, making calls, data entry, photocopying, scanning, and filing.
Volunteer support is needed for donation pick-ups. To assist in the transportation department volunteers must be trained, able to lift at least 50 pounds, and commit to a regular volunteer schedule.
The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank holds several major fundraising events throughout the year. Volunteers are needed to assist staff with the planning, set-up and tear-down of these events.

Communities across the US are turning to hunting to help get deer numbers under control. A waste of good venison? Hardly. In fact many local deer management programs donate their harvests to local food banks.

Hello. ♥
My name is Stephanie!
you can call me Steph tho
I love all kinds of art like digital art, pixel, and photography.
I am American born Chinese and I live in Shanghai, China. But my hometown is Babylon, New York in Long Island
My main sports are swimming and track and field.
I joined dA on September 20, 2009, because my friend told me to [or some other reason i forgot ] I was thinking that I would never use this account. I was wrong though, because there was something about dA that made me keep on coming back. I was in-active for a few months...or a year
But now i'm active! and I try new styles and all my friends on dA supported me by giving me llamas, points and constructive feedback.
I am an emoticonist, i mainly make emoticons and little animations, but I am also a varied artist. I make tons of vector emotes, avatars... sometimes i use pixels to create pieces that aren't emotes. Occasionally I will upload some photography.
I plan to make a little of everything so watch me to stay tuned!
Feel free to visit my gallery and leave a comment! I love people that just randomly come talk to me. haha

Take a trip back in time with vintage craft ideas! Learn how to make a vintage inspired floral headband from Linda Peterson. In just five easy-to-follow steps, you'll be able to make your own classy wearable craft. Use muslin to create an entirely unique piece.
You will need both cheesecloth and muslin to create this piece. Purchase a plain plastic headband from your local discount or dollar store - you won't recognize it when the product is finished! Dip the cheesecloth in a mixture of water and Aleene's Tacky Glue to create a stiff texture. Coil the strips of muslin to create a rose shape and use the cheesecloth for the leaves. Eyelash trim adds a fun, whimsical touch to the piece!

Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
I would much rather see little Dri Archer line up as a WR than I would Bryant right now. Height for a WR is a highly overrated attribute.
