After the CM saw the film, he not only applauded the power packed performance of Rani in the film, but also mentioned how the film has got focus on the worst social evil of human trafficking which needs to be eliminated. The CM feels that it is very important for this film to have a widened reach and so making it tax free would be extremely beneficial.
What is bigger is that the CM went on his own accord to watch the film with his family and decided to make it tax free. The makers of the film were very happy when they got to know about this and they are hoping that others see it in the same way and the film gets a similar tax free status elsewhere.
The film has a very strong social message which is put across not in a preachy way but with a very interesting story. The film has been snowballing even at the box office, growing by positive word of mouth.
Rani Mukherjee is personally elated with all the feedback. She is glad that the film is making a connect with people and hopeful that it will make a difference.
Honourable Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Mr Shivraj Singh Chouhan in his tweets said, "After a very long time went along with family to watch a movie. 'Mardaani' turned out to be soul stirring saga highlighting a societal evil. I congratulate Rani Mukherjee for a wonderful and powerful performance in 'Mardaani'. Aditya Chopra has done well to produce this movie. Trafficking of young girls and women is worst evil which needs to be eliminated.'Mardaani' has brought it into focus. We will give 'tax free' status to 'Mardaani' in Madhya Pradesh considering the bold social message conveyed by it."

Peter Leparulo
Thanks Matt, good afternoon and thank you for joining our call today. During the first quarter we made good progress advancing our business model. We grew revenue by double digit sequentially and improved our bottomline driven by solid demand for the next-generation products in Mobile Computing and M2M.
In Mobile Computing, we have experienced healthy sales growing the MiFi segment over 30% sequentially. To provide a wider context for the market dynamic we are experiencing, we are seeing operators place heavy emphasis on wireless data now more than ever with the proliferation of 4G networks which are incredibly efficient in transferring data. The speed and availability of these networks shared data plans from operators and promotional efforts continue to drive the mobile broadband market. These trends play directly into the value proposition of our modified devices. Simple, ubiquitous broadband connectivity that allows multiple WiFi enabled devices to seamlessly access wireless networks.
With that as backdrop, we are seeing a very healthy order pipeline and customer forecast for Q2 across our Mobile Computing portfolio. During the first quarter, we had a very successful product introduction of Verizon with our MiFi 5510. This device is our fifth-generation 4G LTE mobile hotspot and is positioned as the value product at the carrier. Additionally, we had a strong quarter performance from our extended battery modified 4620LE, the premium product with Verizon. Between these two products we have held a dominant position at Verizon and see increased order trends for the second quarter.
Turning to progress with our MiFi 2 at AT&T, as many of you know this product, the first mobile hotspot with a touch screen and new levels of user interactivity has received very favorable product reviews in the media and from users. In the second quarter, we expect to see even greater traction and a more solid channel position. Again, we are seeing a stronger order trend from MiFi 2 for the second quarter and have orders of more than 50% over the first quarter revenue generated by this iconic product.
To that end, we were pleased last month to announce the commercial availability of the MiFi 2 at Bell Mobility, the provider of Canada's largest 4G LTE mobile network. The launch with Bell is a great example of how we have been able to leverage our development work into additional channels.
One of our objectives for the year of Mobile Computing was to have a targeted strategy with key North American operators. We are looking forward to launching our first 4G LTE MiFi at Sprint in the second half of this year. At that point, we will have launched best in class 4G LTE MiFi mobile hotspots at all three major North American carriers. But we are not stopping there; up until now, the MiFi technology platform has enabled Consumer Mobility by bringing WiFi enabled consumer products to the cellular network.
Looking ahead in Mobile Computing, as we discussed on our last call, we continue to see the operators expanding into new markets that 4G network infrastructure enables. These include markets such as fixed mobile convergence or in-home connectivity and in-vehicle connectivity which bring new categories of new used cases and services through new categories of peripheral devices, all over the 4G network. These markets will readdress by more integrated hardware and software solutions with customized extensions that enable additional used cases and solve broad system level issues rather than device centric issues.

How do you put an
if...else statement within a
for statement?
This is the code:
// This is within a actionListener. When ever I press a button, this happens.
for (int i = 0; i < booleanVariable.length; i++) {
//length is 8
System.out.println("booleanVariable is" + booelanVariable[i]);
if (booleanVariable[i] = true) {
booleanVariable[i] = false;
System.out.println("booleanVariable was true")
} else {
System.out.println(" booleanVariable is false");
This is the output over 3 presses:
booleanVariable is true
booleanVariable was true
booleanVariable is false
booleanVariable was true
booleanVariable is false
booleanVariable was true
This means that, for some reason, even if booleanVariable is false, the output says is true, which is false.
What I've found:
- Without the
break;statement, the program goes around the for all 8 times and outputs exactly the same as without a
break, only incorrect values another 5 times.
What I've tried:
- Changing the if from true to false (out of desperation)
- If within a While within a For
- else, else if
- case switch
Normally, I'd just use a switch, but I'm using booleans, and booleans dont work is switches.
If someone knows the answer, I'd be forever grateful. Thanks.

Hi all,
I know it's doubtful that I'll find exactly what I'm looking for, but I'm wondering if anybody has used something similar or could point me in the right direction of something that would at least come close.
Basically, I'm looking for a voting/poll plugin that will allow users to vote for a "people's choice" among a group of about 20 objects, which sounds easy enough. However, I have the following requirements:
- I need to be able to limit a user's voting to once a month/week/whatever via a cookie (most likely)
- I need to be able to collect a user's email address in the process
- I need to be able to style each on of the poll questions uniquely so that I can add an image to the choice
- I'd like to be able to hide the results from the user and have them only accessible on the back-end
I've tried WP Polls and that's about about the closest I can come to what I need, but as near as I can tell, I can't collect an email address in the process.
Does anybody have any suggestion about a plugin that I could use to make it happen? Any help provided would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Obama Visit, Rockefeller Tree Lighting to Make Midtown Even More Unbearable Today
Maybe skip driving in the city today.
Here is something really American: President Barack Obama will be in New York City for a fund-raiser today, which happens at the same time as the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree-lighting extravaganza, making it more or less impossible to drive in midtown from about 3 p.m. until 11 p.m. (One traffic expert is calling it the "biggest gridlock alert day of the decade.") Obama, who is "still evolving" on gay marriage, will attend a "small reception to celebrate the progress in the LGBT community" at the Sheraton on Seventh Avenue, where tickets range from $10,000 to $35,800. To accommodate his travel plans, there will be "frozen zones" around the city starting at 5 p.m. The tree party features performances by Cee Lo Green and Michael Buble. Justin Bieber's part of the show was pre-recorded, so at least the city planned ahead.

Notes: Price gets birthday surprise; Tigers claim Qualls
New Tiger David Price got a new appreciation of Detroit, thanks to a special birthday present.
DETROIT -- New Tiger David Price got a new appreciation of Detroit, thanks to a special birthday present.
Price's girlfriend, Tiffany, surprised him with a helicopter tour on Monday, the team's day off.
"I've always wanted to ride in a helicopter," Price said. "That was the first time I've ever done that. We did that, Astro got a Detroit Tigers jersey, so he was pumped. It's my birthday but he's still getting gifts. That's how it always goes."
Price, who turned 29 Tuesday, said the tour took them all over the place.
"Saw everything from a bird's eye view, saw a lot of nice golf courses, flew over Comerica, Ford Field, went over to the Silverdome, saw that, what's left of it," Price said. "We went over Belle Isle. I don't remember all the lakes, I guess there's more than 10,000. I guess we flew over the mayor's house. That was ridiculous."
Price said the water looked clear from up there.
"I think that was the most surprising to me, I could see, not the sandbar but whatever's in the bottom of those lakes," Price said. "I could see all the way down. That was refreshing. I don't get in the water that much but I feel like if I did, I'd feel a lot better."
While Price has settled in nicely with the team, he's not quite settled in a home yet, especially with the Tigers coming home for just three games before heading out again.
"It stinks. I didn't unpack my suitcase," Price said. "I haven't unpacked ever since I got traded so I'm living out of a suitcase and I've been in a hotel. So I guess it almost feels more normal being on the road, just being in a different hotel. It's all right. I'm dealing with it."
Price said he and the team aren't looking too far ahead even though there's just over a month left in the regular season.
"If you get caught up in all the wild card chases or the division championships, whatever, league titles, that's when you find yourself not playing in October," Price said. "So we just need to focus in on the task at hand right now and just take care of business right now and that'll propel us into the postseason."
The Tigers put a claim on Houston Astros reliever Chad Qualls and now have two days to try to work out a deal.
Qualls, 36, talked to CSN Houston's Howard Chen about the claim.
"I could've signed there in the offseason," Qualls told Chen. "Obviously, they tried to trade for me at the deadline. With me being put on waivers, why wouldn't they want to take another chance now? So, yet again, nothing's changed. I'm going to go to work as usual and do my thing."

Tigers manager Brad Ausmus is familiar with Qualls, having caught him in Houston from 2004-07.
"He's a hard-throwing sinkerballer, sinker-slider guy," Ausmus said. "Waiver claims this time of year, they don't really mean anything.
"A quality pitcher like that, you'd always take in your bullpen, for sure. Again, I don't think there's anything to talk about. As far as I know, Tiger baseball stance, there's really nothing to it."
Qualls had fond memories of his time with Ausmus.
"I love to hate him and he loves to hate me," Qualls joked. "No, it's great, especially since I was so young when he was a catcher. He already had so many years in the big leagues and I learned a lot from him. I mean, I could ask him anything and bounce anything off him. Even in the offseason, I'd talk to him about contracts and stuff like that."
Price said he learned from Qualls when the two were teammates in Tampa in 2010.
"He taught me my two-seamer," Price said. "We had just traded for him and we got him the day before I pitched. I had seen him throw and I saw the action on his fastball. It's like a bowling ball, it just kind of deadens bats. I just went up to him, we were out there stretching, I was like, 'How do you hold your two-seam?' He showed me that."
Qualls is 1-3 with a 3.07 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 14 saves in 49 appearances this season.
His family lives in Austin, Tex., so he does have a good reason for wanting to stay there.
"Anytime anybody wants you is a good feeling," Qualls said. "Obviously, they're in a pennant race over there and need some bullpen help. Flattering or not flattering, I still have a job to do here and basically, my commitment is to these guys and this team and trying to get the Houston Astros in a positive direction."
After getting Sunday's game off and Monday's off day to rest his sore ankle, Miguel Cabrera was back in the lineup Tuesday.
"I think it was good to give him the two days," Ausmus said. "He said he feels better, said he's ready to play first."
According to STATS LLC, Cabrera came into Tuesday's game with just one home run in his last 124 plate appearances, the first time that's happened in his career.

It's not clear whether Valery Podsobinski, a 45-year-old mom from Talent, Ore., allegedly fed her children pot-laced snacks then beat them with household objects, or the other way around. Actually, it doesn't really matter. If police are right and she did either of those things, then she's unlikely to be seeing her kids any time soon.
Psilocybin mushrooms, you say? Indeed, when she was arrested she apparently had a big bag of shrooms on her.
As for the child abuse, police say she had been abusing her kids for months before she was arrested, slipping pot-infused food into their meals and later abusing them.
Her weapons of choice for beating her kids supposedly included belts, wooden spoons, paddles, and spatulas.
We've definitely heard of parents being booked for hitting their kids with all kinds of objects (in fact, sometimes they have the kids so well trained that they hit themselves) but getting them high first is a new one.

Tigers fend off Placer in late season non-league match
By: Staff Report
The Roseville High girls volleyball team overcame another slow start Tuesday as it beat Placer in four games in a non-league match. Off their SFL bye on Monday, the Tigers took a break from league play to take on the talented Hillgals in Auburn. Roseville overcame some early errors to win a hotly contested first game and then battled through a very competitive contest before finishing off Placer 26-24, 21-25, 25-22, 25-17. "We started out slow in the first game, again, and it took a while for us to catch up to the speed of the game," said Roseville coach Ron Grove. "We have worked on starting better. We were not hitting smart in the first game, making some careless errors. However we were able to pick up the speed of our play and win the game. The rest of the match, we made adjustments and were able to play at a faster pace and hit smarter." After Placer captured game two, the Tigers won another tight one in the third stanza before winning game four in a more comfortable fashion despite yielding the first five points of the game. "The match featured many long rallies and was an entertaining hard fought match as Placer and Roseville both played a scrappy, athletic match," Grove said. "It is a good tune-up for our last league game against Del Oro and the section playoffs next week." \ Jessica Richardson continues to fill in for the injured Kelsey Roland at outside hitter had a good match with nine kills. Richardson dominated on the block, and was her usual strong self on the back row with 25 digs. Kali Lauhon spread out to offense from her setter position. Simone Durham and Katie Simon each had nine kills and Stephanie Blumm added eight. Hilary Coy played a nice game in the back row, with 12 big-time digs and some nice passing. The Tigers were back home Wednesday for senior night and a regular season ending date with Del Oro.

Battlefield Hardline Leaked During Battlelog Update (UPDATED)
UPDATE: EA has confirmed the Battlefield: Hardline is real, and that it will be revealed during its E3 press conference June 9.
DICE will not be developing the next Battlefield game.
That, at least, will be the case if information from a recent slip up winds up being true. The information came out after assets for a new police-themed game entitled Battlefield Hardline were found in EA's servers following a recent Battlelog update. According to the leak, the new game is being made by Dead Space developer Visceral Games.
Besides that tidbit, the discovered assets included a logo for the new game as well as information pertaining to possible classes (Mechanic, Professional, Operation, Enforcer) and a potential multiplayer map (Downtown). Several multiplayer modes were also named. Among them were Blood Money, Bomb Squad and Carrier Assault. Battlefield Daily has also managed to uncover a set of supposed in-game award graphics.
Running on the (probably correct) assumption that stuff is genuine, there's a fair chance that EA was going to reveal this new game at E3. We've reached out to the company for a statement.

WASHINGTON — United and eager to respond to a national uproar, the House overwhelmingly approved legislation Tuesday to make it easier for patients enduring long waits for care at Veterans Affairs facilities to get VA-paid treatment from local doctors.
Lawmakers were so keen to vote for the bill, they did it twice.
The 426-0 final vote was Congress' strongest response yet to the outcry over backlogs and falsified data at the beleaguered agency. Senate leaders plan debate soon on a similar, broader package that has also drawn bipartisan support, underscoring how politically toxic it could be to be seen as ignoring the problem.
House members didn't want to be left out of their roll call. An unusual second vote, superseding the chamber's 421-0 passage of the bill barely an hour earlier, was taken after a handful of lawmakers missed the first one. They included Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Jeff Miller, R-Fla., the bill's author, who said he had been in his office.
The VA, which serves almost 9 million veterans, has been reeling from mounting evidence that workers fabricated statistics on patients' waits for medical appointments to mask frequent, long delays. A VA audit this week showed that more than 57,000 new applicants for care have had to wait at least three months for initial appointments.
"I cannot state it strongly enough — this is a national disgrace," Miller said during the debate.
"We often hear that the care that veterans receive at the VA facilities is second to none — that is, if you can get in," said Rep. Mike Michaud of Maine, top Democrat on the committee. "As we have recently learned, tens of thousands of veterans are not getting in."
The controversy led Eric Shinseki to resign as head of the VA on May 30, but the situation remains a continuing embarrassment for President Barack Obama and a potential political liability for congressional Democrats seeking re-election in November.
Philip Matkovsky, who helps oversee the VA's administrative operations, said of patients' long waits and efforts to hide them, "It is irresponsible, it is indefensible, and it is unacceptable. I apologize to our veterans, their families and their loved ones." He did not specify which VA officials had questionable integrity.
Richard Griffin, acting VA inspector general, told lawmakers his investigators were probing for wrongdoing at 69 agency medical facilities, up from 42 two weeks ago. He said he has discussed evidence of manipulated data with the Justice Department, which he said was still considering whether crimes occurred.
Senators have written a similar bill, which Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said his chamber would consider "as soon as it is ready."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the chamber should debate the bill immediately, instead of first considering a Democratic measure letting borrowers refinance student loans at lower rates.
"Veterans have been made to wait long enough at these hospitals," McConnell said.

How much can a cat take?
The video below is from Japanese television. Based on the laugh track I have to assume it's part of a comedy show.
An entire fish is placed on a board in what appears to be a park. A cat is then allowed to take the entire fish and run off with it. The next fish is larger. The next, larger still, until they reach about 4.5 pounds.
I'm not sure of the original point of the video, but it's weird, from Japan and about cats. Enjoy.

The story of how life changed the face of the Earth may be more profound than previously envisioned and could lead to new clues for detecting life on exoplanets.
Microbes living in Antarctica's saltiest lake swap huge chunks of genetic material as a means of surviving their harsh environment.
For the first time, smashing ice and other comet-like ingredients together have led to the creation of amino acids in the lab.
Researchers have found signs of life in mud pulled from the bottom of an ice-covered lake in Antarctica.

Lightening: When a baby drops there is nothing that feels lighter about your physical situation. In fact I believe it causes even more discomfort.
Post term: Once a baby is ready for the outside world they should just be considered term. I have yet to hear of a baby who is more ready than ready.
My water, as in "My water broke!" : Shouldn't it be the baby's water? I am pretty sure my baby is the one who is partial to it.
Thank you for your consideration,
Anyone have any they would like to add?

Members of Tunisia's main ruling Islamist party called for a rally in the capital on Saturday, a day after police clashed with protesters at the funeral of murdered opposition figure Chokri Belaid.
The Ennahda party demonstration was to take place in the centre of Tunis on Habib Bourguiba Avenue, where the latest violence has taken place, the party said in a statement.
The protest would "defend the legitimacy of the national constituent assembly," where the Ennahda-dominated coalition holds a majority, and would "fight against (political) violence" it said the opposition is using.

The company provides GSM cellular services to retail & corporate customers and business solutions to SMEs and large enterprises. Its wholly owned subsidiaries are MTN Holdings Limited, MTN Service Provider Limited, MTN International (Mauritius) Limited, Verizon South Africa, Arobase Telecom and Afnet. MTN Group Limited operates across 21 countries in Africa and the Middle East.
Industry spending on any particular IT product or service is an important indicator of the criticality of that product or service for the industry. Based on the IT spend information available, we have computed a criticality score for various IT products and services, for MTN Group Limited.
Further, various company level developments and events are important indicators of selling opportunities and drive the sales of IT products and services. For example – an acquisition by MTN Group Limited might result in opportunities for IT migration and integration services. By tracking these sales drivers, we have arrived at a demand score for each product and service.
Through an in-depth analysis of industry trends and drivers and company level developments and events, we have made the IT Selling Opportunities Map for hardware (including telecom equipment), software and IT services for MTN Group Limited. These maps have been divided into four zones representing Level I, Level II and Level III opportunity areas. Level I opportunity areas have the highest scores and hence, there is a high probability that MTN Group Limited will buy these products and services. Level II opportunity areas have lower scores and hence, lower probability to sell to MTN Group Limited. Level III opportunities have the lowest scores and hence, unlikely to sell to MTN Group Limited.
The report is meant for IT and telecom equipment vendors and intends to help them identify selling opportunities within the company. Further, the identified sales drivers can be used to penetrate these accounts or increase current share of the customers wallet. Also, the report lists key IT spending decision makers, which will enable salesperson to directly contact the key executives within the company.

These are in MENS sizes
These are in MENS sizes. My daughter wears a ladies 10 shoe and we bought the large fins with swim socks and they fit fine. We also bought my daughters friend a medium (yellow fin) and she wears a ladies size 8 shoe and they fit too.

works great!
I'm fairly new to lap swimming. These fins have really helped me learn how to kick correctly. They feel good on your feet with no pinching. The sizes listed on the web site seem to be more toward mens sizes... i wear a 9.5-10 womens shoe, but the large size was too big. The medium size fit nicely.
Great fitting fins!
My first training fins and I am so pleased with the Tyr Burner fins! They fit great and are comfortable. I wear a lady's size 11 or Euro size 41. The Large fins (red) fit me well.

Swim fins
I am training for a sprint triathalon & this fins are perfect.The fit is true to size , a great training tool.

Soft rubber is easy on the feet - short blade great for lap swimmers!
Prior to trying these fins, I had tried several other pairs (a popular brand) and loved the short blade, but not the blisters left by the harder rubber on the knuckles of my toes, even with the addition of socks. I chanced upon some large split-blade Tyr fins and loved the soft rubber foot pocket, but didn't want enormous fins. So I am glad I ordered these TYR Burner EBP fins - a perfect compromise.My foot is size 12.5-13 in shoes, but wide and relatively thin (top to bottom). The 11-13 size fins fit snugly but are still quite comfortable. These fins do float which changes your body position a tad bit. It is noticeable but nothing astounding. The little grips on the bottom help with flip turn traction on the wall, and the short blade is great for maintaining a fast kick cadence.I am so excited to have found these. They are definitely worth trying.

Nice fins
This is my second pair of TYR fins. The first set lasted about a year before they tore along the seams, both fins. I am a 59 year old masters swimmer, I swim about 12 miles a week, and generally use them on one or two days a week. These fins have helped my kick I have much better technique since I started using them. They hurt my feet the first few times I used them but now I have no problem I do not need any protective cover on my toes and feet. I wanted to buy the Hydro Tech fins but they were a six week wait and since my fins were both broken I went with a second set of them.

Starting to Swim
These fins are great - just starting to swim and not a regular swimmer. They are easy to get on/off and I purchased the yellow - I wear women's size 9 1/2 shoe. They are a little tight - but thinking this will get better w/ more use. The quality is nice and so far have held up well.
Great Fins
Prior Reviewers were right! Love Em!
I bought these based on reviewers especially the one who commented about how well they worked right out of the box. I agree!!! I have some Speedo fins which were cutting into my feet after a few swims and also while they were shorter than standard fins and floated, they felt heavy in the water when I was swimming....I got these and put them on - what a difference. It feels as if I have nothing on my feet while I get the benefit of the fins for training! And great so far for rubbing! Thank you prior reviewers that made me give these a try!

Awesome !Reviews worked for me!
I began lap swimming to better my overall self. I thought you just get out there and hammer out the laps. However, I had the chance to observe a couple of really good lap swimmers - and that is what I want to become. Another lap swimmer recommended I use zoomers and I looked at hers. One day though, a lap swimmer came in, had zoomers, and I asked him about his zoomers. This was the second person/time I had seen zoomers. He was nice enough and told me to go ahead and try his zoomers a bit. So, I did for a lap. Well, they were a bit big, so loose on my feet and kinda heavy. My legs need to strengthen and coordinate. I then began my shopping for zoomers. I saw these, read the reviews and boy o'boy! am I so happy I did!. Okay, I ordered the small, they are green and the fit is perfect for me. In real life I wear an 8 to 8.5 and my running shoe, is a 9 (Saucony Omni 13) I will gush on and on about these because 1. I am so new to this lap swimming and these truly have helped my form, I guess, or my kick. I really like the flexibility they have over what I tried in the zoomers. Okay, my stats, if it matters, 5"4ish, 165 lbs --these are not heavy. O', my son said, you will love them - He knew about zoomers- they will make your swim time faster. He competed and I don't but my half mile yesterday was 15 minutes faster than when I began my half mile with out. Note that I also used a front FINIS snorkel and the TYR nose plugs. I'm trying to get the most out of my work out and I'm no the right track with these items - plus the kick board in the other review! I chose these because I read the reviews.
Pryor, Ok
My First Pair and I Hope They Last a LONG Time!
I wear a 9.5 woman's shoe size; I bought Medium. They're a tad roomy on me but my swimming is unaffected (I don't worry about them coming off). I only bought fins because reviews led me to believe that they'd help to develop my leg, thigh and butt muscles better.
St. Louis, MO
Great fit, very comfortable! Soft composition, easy to use while swimming laps.
Great product! Should have purchased long ago. Great fit, steamlined design works beautifully while swimming laps. Lightweight and soft for a great fit and feel!
Milwaukee, WI
Outstanding Fins!
I have been a competitive swimmer for nearly 50 years and due to a shoulder problem have been using fins more often. These are great, very comfortable (no rub wounds as from others) and very easy on the knees and ankles. They provide just enough propulsion to keep up the speed and not so much to make you lazy. I am glad I tried these and hope they last!
Mark Comfort
MIssoula, Montana
Great Fit/Feel
Fre shipping delievered ASAP!
The most comfortable pair of fins ever!! My shoe size range in men's 11-12. The blue fins fit perfect!
West Bend, WI
Most comfortable fin EVER !
You never know if an item is going to fit or not when you order on line. However, the chart was pretty accurate, and mine fit perfect. The material is softer than most fins, which really helps in comfort. The length of the fins are great...not too long to put stress on knees, and enough resistance to get a great leg workout. I really love them, and they don't take up too much room when packing for the gym.

Easy on Easy Off - TYR Burner EBP Fins
Using these for triathlon training. They are easy on/easy off and are comfortable during use.
Yorktown, VA
I love these fins!
The fins fit great with my high in-step and are flexible. We use them in the pool and they are great. We will also use on vacations in the ocean. I love that they float on top of the water. My husband and I are very happy with these fins and would recommend :)
Day Lily
Roseville, CA
Good fit
I was surprised that my ladies 9N feet fit well in the medium (yellow) TYR fins with no rubbing. With the rounded fin design I do not hit the fins together like other fins I have tried. I'm getting a great kicking workout with my burners.
St. Paul, MN
Good For Kick Traing
I wear women's 9-9.5 shoes and bought the yellow, which allows for Sporti neoprene booties underneath. The fit is snug, but completely comfortable for an hour. I have even walked laps in the pool in the fins (great training for snow shoeing) and had no problems. I previously used Zoomers which were less comfortable and put me in a less good position in the water. These fins are great for anyone with shoulder issues as they take the pressure off your shoulders in freestyle.

Teams across Oklahoma are assessing damage, flare-ups expected
As firefighters continue to respond to residual flare ups from Thursday's wind-driven wildfires, officials are continuing assessing the damage that has left hundreds of people homeless. Across the state, Thursday, wildfires in western and central Oklahoma injured an estimated 49 people and destroyed more than 138 homes and 6 businesses. State emergency management officials say the largest property losses have been reported in south central Oklahoma and in eastern Oklahoma County. Oklahoma County More than 100 structures were destroyed in Oklahoma County alone Thursday. In Midwest City, officials said there were an estimated 2,000 acres burned, affecting 60 homes with 34 homes totally destroyed. In Choctaw, officials said there were another 17 homes destroyed. Midwest City Fire Marshal Jerry Lojka said a report of a flare up of one of the extinguished homes in the Oakwood East addition is probably going to be a repeating occurrence today. Because of numerous simultaneous fires Thursday, where flames were basically leaping from rooftop to rooftop, Lojka said firefighters weren't able to battle the blazes in the normal fashion. Firefighters just didn't have time to peel back walls and soak everything to make sure hot spots are out. "We just did what we could and moved on to the next one," he said. "It's probably going to take us all day today to make sure everything is out." After spending the night at the Midwest City Community Center, where about 75 residents flocked to after flames threatened their homes Thursday, 51-year-old Christy Bryant, along with her daughter and five grandchildren, were still waiting to find out if they still had a home. Bryant said she and her family left their home between NE 10 and Reno, after seeing the orange glow of nearby fires become stronger and closer. During the night at the shelter, Bryant said, her grandchildren were constantly bombarding her with questions about their toys, their clothes, their video games and their home. "I keep telling them that material things don't matter," Bryant said. "We still have our lives we still have each other — no matter what happens this morning." While the Bryant and her family were preparing to see their neighborhood, residents in Oakwood East were slowly returning to the random devastation throughout the hard hit neighborhood. Sprinkler systems continued to spray water on scorched lawns, and water from a hard night of fighting fires ran through the streets of the neighborhood. The door to one partially burned house in the neighborhood was wide open, as if the family got out as fast as they could, not even bothering to shut the door behind them. Some houses were completely destroyed while the house next door appeared untouched. Nathan Christmon who lives at 2040 Westbury Drive, came home to find that his was the only house that burned on his entire street. "It's almost like a tornado hit," the 42-year-old Devon tax accountant said. "It's just so random — the houses the fire chose to hit." Charlotte Moore, who had just flown back home from Las Vegas, pulled into her Yorkshire Drive home Monday morning to find her neighbor's house burned to the ground. But the only damage she had was a fence. "I had no luck in Nevada but I got lucky here," she said. Midwest City Police Chief Brandon Clabes said he knew that there are people who will probably want to see the damage from the fires, but he is asking them not to. "The best way to see the damage is to look at it on TV or the computer, not at the locations" he said. "If you don't live here or need to be here, we need you to stay away." Clabes said emergency responders are tired and weary, but overall, they are in good condition and still doing their jobs. "I can't give enough praise to our firefighters," he said. "They did the most outstanding job I've ever seen, even though they feel like they didn't because they felt helpless at times. "We know we saved some lives," the chief said. "We just don't know how many." At Lake Stanley Draper, Oklahoma City fire crews battled brush and structure fires across more than two square miles east of Lake Stanley Draper yesterday, Deputy Fire Chief Cecil Clay said. At least three structures burned between SE 138 and SE 134 and officials are still assessing the extent of the damage. Hot spots in wooded areas gave firefighters a difficult time yesterday, and Clay said he anticipates they will do the same today. "There was no way we could save some of those structures," Clay said. "When the wind is blowing 30 to 40 miles per hour, embers just blow from one spot to another no matter how much water you use." Carter County Preliminary estimates indicate that 50,000 acres of Carter County were burned by out-of-control fires Thursday, said Ed Reed, Carter County Emergency Management director "It was so hard, so fast and so furious," Reed said about the 13 fires that caused hundreds of evacuations. "The 18 years I have been doing this, I have never seen anything like this." Fires started about noon Thursday and weren't under control until after 3:30 a.m. Friday. At least one firefighter was injured. Larry Hicks, Chandler emergency management director, said the injured firefighter's truck was overrun by fire. Reed said he isn't sure how many structures were lost in the fires. They were out at daybreak beginning assessment of the damages. At least one Ratliff City firefighter lost his home while fighting the fires, Reed said. The Fox-Graham Fire Department was destroyed by fire while firefighters were battling the wildfires. "They lost a truck, records, tools and everything," Reed said. "It was totaled. It was unbelievable." Reed said he had no idea how many fire department came to the aid of those in Carter County. Murray County In Murray County, fires continued to burn near Davis, dispatchers said. No major roads were closed. Portions of Interstate 35 that were closed last night had reopened. Garvin/McClain counties Oklahoma Highway Patrol helicopters circled the devastation north of Lindsay, Friday morning. A 15-square-mile area burned, McClain County deputies said. An estimated 10 to 15 houses were destroyed, but officials are still looking for possible losses. Purcell City Manager Eric Johnson said his information is that 13 homes between Lindsay, in Garvin County, and Purcell, in neighboring McClain County, were damaged or destroyed. The only severe injury firestorm injury reported occurred, near Lindsay when a motorist lost control on a smoke-covered roadway. Stephens County A raging fire fanned by 40 mile-per-hour winds caused the evacuation of the entire town of Velma Thursday. The fire destroyed 15 homes and three downtown businesses in this Stephens County town of more than 600 people, said Gary Ball, Stephens County emergency management director. There were numerous garages and storage buildings also destroyed in the fire that started about 1 p.m. A couple of firefighters suffered smoke inhalation while fighting the fires. They were taken for medical treatment and then released. Residents were allowed back to their homes starting at 11:30 p.m. Thursday. No one could enter the housing additions without going by City Hall for a slip of paper verifying their home address, Ball said. Elsewhere in Stephens County, there were fires in Loco and between Meridian and Duncan. The Meridian Nursing Home was evacuated during the fire, Ball said. Lincoln County In Lincoln County, about 40 miles northeast of Oklahoma City, a firefighter suffered major burns while battling a blaze and was taken to an Oklahoma City hospital, Chandler Emergency Management Director Larry Hicks said. The firefighter was listed in stable condition in the burn unit of Integris Baptist Medical Center, emergency management officials said. "We had one truck that got overrun," Hicks said. "It's pretty severe." Shelters The only mobile Red Cross assistance location in central Oklahoma open now is at Midwest City Community Center, said April Wilkerson of the American Red Cross. Community Shelters are open at the following locations: First Baptist Church in Healdton Midwest City Community Center First Methodist Church in Marietta Turner School in Love County First Baptist Church in Nicoma Park

Emh... not a "king of the gorila´s" man, but a sweet one! hehehe
So gorgeous yet curious!! X3 fave2u, good miss ^*^
Oh...my...the raw passion is intense. Tarzan is acting out on primal animal instincts. While Jane who is used to the flowers and romance, doesn't mind the more primal approach. I mean c'mon, look at him, you would too lol
What actually ramps up the romance in this is that it is an "almost kiss". It creates a huge amount of tension and anticipation despite being so subtle. Props!
My sister looked over at the computer when I was looking at this and said (loudly) "That's cute,but why is he strangling her?" I was flustered,and the only thing I could think to say was "It's a HAPPY strangle!" ... I think i made it worse... It's really cute though.
this piece really caught my eye in your gallery, it is sooooo passionate, I LOVE art like this
gorgeous!so pretty!
Oh my eiqsugzeqghezr. So cute rzegqrgqrgsdr. ♥♥♥
I love this so much. It really makes me insides fell all warm and happy.
This is the cutest thing ever. ;A;
kyaaaa! my heart melted
How Romantic <3
More Tarzan!! ^^ this is so touching!
Amazing!! Such a sweet romantic moment!
I looove these two! I can't get enough! ;u;
