Other Geological Hazards
Carbon Dioxide
Elevated concentrations of CO2 and depressed concentrations of O2 in building spaces is an arising environmental hazard in western Pennsylvania and other areas of the Appalachian coalfields. This problem was restricted to blackdamp (a gas composed of a mixture of CO2 and nitrogen) from abandoned deep mines in the past, but serious CO2 hazards related to surface mining activity have emerged in recent years.
Staff geologist Christopher D. Laughrey and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's Fred J. Baldassare provide information on this problem in a paper (PDF format – 5.2MB) entitled "Some applications of isotope geochemistry for determining sources of stray carbon dioxide gas." This paper is made available from the American Association of Petroleum Geologists journal Environmental Geosciences, v. 10, no. 3 with their permission. The Pittsburgh Geological Society also has information about carbon dioxide migration and other geohazards.
Flooding is well known as a hazard across Pennsylvania. Although flooding is controlled by the landscape and precipitation, it's the use of the land and its modification that tend to worsen flooding situations. The Pittsburgh Geological Society provides information about floods and other geohazards. The U. S. Geological Survey's Pennsylvania Water Resources District Office is a good source of information on current hydrologic conditions in Pennsylvania.
Methane Gas
In some areas of Pennsylvania (especially areas of coal mining and gas well activity), stray methane gas in the subsurface can be a hazard. Under certain conditions, methane can migrate to private water supply wells and ultimately into a house or structure. Unmitigated, methane can build to explosive concentrations. A proper well vent allows methane to vent to the atmosphere rather than build up to explosive levels. The risk of an explosion from stray methane varies from location to location based on site-specific conditions. In Greene County in 1997, a methane explosion destroyed a home. Methane gas had migrated through an improperly vented water well into the house. The Pittsburgh Geological Society provides information about the migration of natural gas and other geohazards.
Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless, odorless, inert, but radioactive gas, with a half-life of 3.8 days. It is a decay product of the most abundant naturally occurring isotope of uranium, U238, and has radium as its immediate radioactive parent. Uranium and radon are found nearly everywhere in very small concentrations. Radon and its daughter products decay by the emission of alpha particles, essentially helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons) carrying a charge of +2. Because of their large mass and charge, alpha particles travel only a short distance through body tissue, and have the capability of causing extensive damage when they encounter living tissue. The risk of lung cancer is understood to be proportional to the amount of exposure to radon decay products in air. — Pennsylvania Geology, vol. 18, no. 2.
It is estimated 40 percent of homes in Pennsylvania have radon levels above EPA's action guideline of 4 pCi/l. For more information, visit the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's web page on radon. Also, see the U. S. Geological Survey web site on radon, including "The Geology of Radon."

Subsidence Caused by Underground Mining
Subsidence associated with the underground extraction of coal is a geologic hazard with a human twist. After coal is removed from the ground, over time the roof of the mine begins to collapse. The sagging of rock layers may propagate to the surface. Land subsidence can be devastating to a building's foundation, and also can alter ground water and surface water flow.
For more information on land subsidence, contact the Survey, or visit the Department of Environmental Protection's mine subsidence insurance and "Subsidence Agent Program" web pages. The Pittsburgh Geological Society also provides information about land subsidence from mining and other geohazards.

Having worked in the HiFi industry, I can assure you that very few people are making a huge amount of money. Running a business costs, distribution costs and shops cost.
You might be able to make a living selling over the web but unless you can find a incredible viral marketing strategy even that is going to cost for marketing.
Most of the time in developing a product is in negotiating with suppliers, working out how the finish you want can be achieved without costing to much, writing work instructions for assembly, writing a manual, testing the product works over production tolerances, ensuring it passes legislative requirements ( fortunately this is not to bad for a passive speaker ).
As a rough guide each company that work on a product needs a Mark up of 30 to 50% to be able to trade profitably. So say it costs £100 in parts and materials, you need to make £50 to be able to run your business, it now cost £150 you will probablynsell it to a distributor (once you can find one who is prepared to sell it) they will want another 40% it now cost £210. The shop will need another 50% to be able to stay in business, high end hifi doesn't move that fast and the staff cost money. So it now costs £315 suddenly your design dose not look so competitive with the competition.
I dare say this will get me a flame war but, I get annoyed buy the HiFi manufacturers are all ripping us off attitude. Yes there are a few that seem to be able to offer very average product for allot of money but even that cost them as they had to build the brand somehow. Most are only just profitable and currently a lot are not profitable at all. Yes if you put in many hours of work you can just about make something better than what you could buy for that money. If you don't want to put in the hours why do you assume just because the parts cost less than the product, it's a bad deal. Don't get me wrong I am all for DIY otherwise I would be here but DFY has it's place.
You see the same thing with software, it costs nothing to make why is it so expensive. That will be because it takes thousands of man hours to write, promote, distribute etc.
Please don't think I am saying you shouldn't try, you should but expect it to be difficult and don't be surprised if you find you can't make a profit there is much more to a successful business than a product that is good in one respect. Most people buy things with their eyes and their hearts not their ears and their minds. They are brand loyal and change resistant. Also good to your ears may be horrible to theirs.
Best of luck.

I went to school for 3 years to master this and it newer got me a job in this industry. IT was the next choice but it is not really my interesst here in life. But now, IT is getting closer to music and there are opportunities. My self - I'm to old now - I'll just stay put amazed. The thing of today is to press the Redmond giant to give us UAC2 - built in.
Good luck to you all.

My mind had a change after reading your inputs made after my last one.
Good luck to all trying to get into the business. Among you there will be astonishing good designs and designs that probably shouldn't have seen their first light.
Strange though, even in a forum as this one you can't be sure of who is trying to screew you. But again, that might be the way to better the designs - not ourselves.

DIY speakers are an art unto themselves. Having worked for B&W I have had the luxury of seeing the amount of R&D that goes into their products.
Even though I wholeheartedly agree that most of the £18K price tag of the 802D's is taken up with R&D, dealership and profit. You can guarantee that the product will work "out of the box".
I have yet to see a finished DIY design that can compete with the High End speakers, not only B&W but the multitude of High End manufacturers.
IMO most DIY designs are trying, AND SUCCEEDING, in producing excellent designs for pennies.
Has anyone produced a reliable High End design that can realy compete and be reliably replicated.
I would rather spend £18K on something that I know will please my ears for years to come than spend £2K on some DIY project that will be disappointing.
I would love a pair of B&W Nautilus but at £60K I'd have to save for a few months.

Hi Andy,
Well said, Many people are simply unthinking and very naive. I am sure they would not give their own hard work away for free.
DIY does have a tendency to attract those people who always want something for nothing, because they believe they are being ripped off. This attitude probably extends into every element of these peoples lives.
Without the traditional Hi-Fi market investing in Driver manufacturers the DIY market will be up the creek without a paddle, to put it mildly. For sure no major drive unit manufacturers relies on the specialist DIY market to keep them going!

DANIELSVILLE — Doug Kesler's fingerprints are all over Athens-area softball.
They're found easily in Madison County's softball complex, where banners list the Red Raiders' six region championships and four consecutive elite eight appearances.
They're seen in other programs, thanks to the coaches that have come to Kesler and picked his brain, trying to replicate his 16 years of success.
And they're easy to spot among his players, 26 of which have gone on to play collegiate softball.
"You have people come back to you and said, 'If it wasn't for what I learned there, I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing today,'" Kesler said. "That's what you hope. Softball is very temporary, but we hope they learned stuff that will help them in life."
For Kesler, the lessons are over.
The founding head coach of Madison County's softball program, who has racked up more than 400 wins, retired at the end of the season.
Kesler told players and parents at the team's first booster meeting earlier this year. He'd tried to step away about three years ago, but had second thoughts as the season wore on.
He's not second-guessing the decision this time.
"It's one of those things you always hear, 'You'll know when it's time,'" Kesler said. "I knew it was time."
Said Madison County athletic director David McGee: "It's going to be very different to see our program without him there. He's been here since the beginning of the fast-pitch program."
Kesler grew up in Clarke County before his family moved to Danielsville. He graduated from Madison County and started teaching at the school in 1979. He coached football and baseball and hoped to eventually become the head football coach.
Then, in 1985, the first of his three daughters were born.
Plans changed.
"I said, 'Well, you know, if I'm going to keep coaching, I'm going to coach something they might play one day,'" Kesler said.
He helped Sally Baldwin, then the slow-pitch coach, start a fast pitch team and led the team in its first season in 1998. Four seasons later, Madison County reached its first state final game, an experience Kesler got to share with his daughter, Brooke.
He remembers the state sectional game that season well. The Raiders were trailing Eastside by one run in extra innings. Brooke was the last at-bat, and doubled off the wall with two strikes and two outs to score the winning run.
The umpire signaled the end of the game, and Brooke headed straight for Kesler.
"She comes sprinting across the field and jumps into my arms at third base," said Kesler, who coached two of his daughters at Madison County and worked with the other as a statistician. "I don't think there was a dry eye anywhere on the Madison County sidelines."
Madison County went on to make another state final appearance in 2012 and finished third in the state tournament this season. As the news of his retirement spread, he heard from the coaches he'd gotten to know during his tenure.
"All my buddies, we were going down this year, other coaches saying, 'Yeah, I'm pulling for you this year, I want you to win it your last year,'" Kesler said. "We came up short (but) that's not really how we measure success. A state championship would have been nice, it would have been nicer for the girls than for me."
This year's senior class will graduate after a 36-4 season, with three players — Randee Bettis, Bri Carr and Ivie Drake — signed to play with college teams.
"He's one who wins with passion, but also wins the respect of all who are involved in the game, from the players all the way up to the coaches (and) the umpires," said Bettis' mother, Theresa.
At the end of the season, Kesler coached Bettis and Drake in an all-star game, and an exchange with two of the other players participating stuck with Theresa.
"By the end of the tournament, two girls that played and ended up being eventual state champions, they wanted their picture with him," Theresa said.
Said McGee: "We're going to miss him. He's made a lasting impression for us for so many kids, both through softball and in other ways. He's touched so many lives. It's hard to put a number on it."

10X Super Bleaching Face Cream
Size: 2 oz / 60 mL 2-year Expiration Made in the USA
HELPFUL TIP: If you use skin lightening products on your face to gain a lighter complexion, you have reduced the amount of melanin in your skin so it is important for you to use our Retinol or Retin A products to prevent the premature onset of wrinkles. Too many times we have seen people who have lightened their skin significantly but unfortunately they tend to look older because they did not use Vitamin A products to combat wrinkles.
Product Description
If you are serious about skin lightening and desire a product that doesn't take months to work, then this product is the right choice. This is a strong face whitening cream designed to effectively lighten dark spots, erase sun damage and fade discoloration.
The 10X Super Bleaching Face Cream is formulated with generous amounts of proven skin lighten ingredients to accelerate results. Hydroquinone, bearberry, kojic acid, glycolic acid, mulberry, niacinamide, MSM, tranexamic acid and licorice are combined in a super cocktail to vigorously combat hyperpigmentation.
Moisture is vital to achieving supple skin, so we incorporated natural humectants and botanicals to hydrate and refine skin texture. The result will be lighter, smoother skin that exudes a radiant glow!
Specially Designed to Lighten Darker Skin Tones
Skin lightening has been practiced in many countries for centuries. In Asia it is an integral part of any skin care regimen. ProDerma Light understands the complexity involved in creating an effective cream that will work to lighten darker skin tones. Our job is to create products that will deliver visible lightening results for those from African, Caribbean, Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern and Hispanic descent.
Most companies make creams that will only "brighten" the skin tone but they are not strong enough to really lighten darker skin. Quite frankly, many cosmetics chemists do not understand the cultural practice of skin lightening so they create products that are weak and ineffective on darker skin tones. ProDerma Light creates skin lightening creams that deliver results.
Let's Talk Ingredients……How the Cream Works
There are thousands of skin lightening creams on the market. Most do not work, or they barely produce any visible results to justify their hefty price tag. Without a doubt, hydroquinone is the most effective skin lightening agent. However, the permissible amount of 2% is sometimes not enough to lighten darker skin tones. To make a really strong lightening cream it is necessary to incorporate a generous blend of melanin-reducing agents. Here are a few that we utilized in this cream:
Bearberry (Arctostaphylos Uva-Ursi)
Bearberry is one of the many ingredients that has become more prominent in skin care products today as it has been discovered to have a whitening effect on the skin. Bearberry contains arbutin, which is a form of hydroquinone but is considered safer. Used regularly, bearberry can remove freckles, age spots, discoloration and even the most stubborn pigmented areas of the skin.
Tranexamic acid is a peptide that is used to prevent excessive blood loss during surgery. Its skin whitening properties was accidentally discovered, but now you will find tranexamic acid in several high end skin preparations. In Asia those desiring whiter skin typically inject tranexamic acid to block melanin synthesis. Most of us would cringe at the thought of injecting ourselves so it is good news that tranexamic acid can be formulated in creams for topical application. It is highly effective at reducing dark spots and providing an overall fair complexion.
There are several types of AHAs (fruit acids) but glycolic is undoubtedly the most popular as it delivers numerous skin care benefits. Glycolic acid is able to produce such wonderful results because it has the smallest molecular structure so it can actually penetrate the epidermis and really get to work below the surface of the skin. Glycolic acid treats hyperpigmentation, sun damaged skin, skin discoloration, rough skin, enlarged pores, wrinkles, melasma, oily skin, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, loss of elasticity, and a host of skin conditions. However, glycolic acid on its own will not lighten the skin tone by several shades. We use it frequently in skin lightening preparations to exfoliate the skin and get rid of the dull, dark, dead skin cells. When the thick, darker top layer of the skin is gently removed, skin lightening creams are better able to absorb and work faster. Without proper exfoliation, skin lightening creams will just sit on the top layer skin and the full potential of the active lightening ingredients will not be realized.
Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, is one of those ingredients that can be described as nothing short of amazing! It is a vital ingredient used in many cosmetics preparations as it is gentle on the skin and offers moisturizing, anti-aging and skin lightening benefits. Unlike other skin lightening ingredients, niacinamide does not stop the production of melanin but instead it prevents the transfer of melanosomes to the surrounding cells. This helps to prevent darkening of the skin and thereby reduces pigmentation.
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza Glabra)
The licorice plant is a legume that is native to southern Europe and parts of Asia. Outside of dermatology, licorice is used to treat various complaints including stomach ulcers, sore throat, bronchitis, cough, and infections caused by bacteria or viruses. In skin care preparations, licorice is now frequently used as a skin lightening agent. Licorice has been proven to inhibit tyrosinase activity and prevent UVB-induced pigmentation. Some researchers claim that the de-pigmenting efficacy of licorice is greater than that of hydroquinone.
MSM is an organic sulfur compound that plays a critical role in detoxification. It is also a beneficial nutrient for bone and joint health as it improves circulation and reduces inflammation. Though it is commonly available in pill form and taken orally, normal ingestion of MSM from dietary sources will not result in noticeable skin lightening. However, topical application of MSM has been proven to brighten the skin tone and promote glowing skin. MSM is highly regarded as a "beauty mineral" as it helps to strengthen hair and nails and treats skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, rosacea and acne. On its own MSM is not strong enough to give dramatic skin lightening results but it works well in conjunction with other skin lightening ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How fast will this cream work?
A: The cream is designed to work fast but there is no way to promise an exact number in days where all users will get the same results. The majority of users see visible lightening in just 1-2 weeks but everyone's skin is different. We all live in different climates, have different ethnicities, practice different exfoliation techniques and have different levels of dedication to skin lightening. Some are serious about skin lightening so they exfoliate regularly, use the cream twice per day, avoid the sun and use sun protection. Others may use once per day and do nothing else. Clearly, the person who is more committed will achieve faster results than the person who is not wholly dedicated.
Q: Does the 10X Super Bleaching Face Cream contain 10% hydroquinone?
A: No. The 10X Super Bleaching Face cream does not contain 10% hydroquinone. The cream is formulated with several skin lightening agents to make it highly effective but it is not 10% hydroquinone.
Q: I have very dark skin. Will this cream work for me?
A: Yes. The cream is designed to lighten even darker skin tones.
Q: What is the difference between the 10X Face Cream and the 15X Body Cream?
A: The 10X Face cream is specifically formulated for the face. The skin on the face is thinner and more sensitive than the skin on the body. The concentration of ingredients in the 10X Face cream is different from what is in the 15X Body Cream.
Q: Does the cream contain any mercury or steroids?
A: No. None of our products contain mercury or any form of steroids.
Q: How long should I use the cream?
A: You can use the cream for as long as it takes to achieve results.
Q: Can men use this product?
A: Yes. The 10X Super Bleaching Face cream can be used by both men and women.
Q: Is the cream fragrance free?
A: No. The cream has fragrance added

I love this cream! I'm using it at night with .05% Retinol gel during the day. The combination of the two creams has evened my skin tone and eliminated my acne. I'm so happy!! I've tried very expensive creams/antibiotic creams and these two products have been the best by far. I highly recommend them!
Posted by S. Vernay on 28th Jul 2016
I purchased the 10% hydroquinoine and it worked on my elbows and knees. But I used Obagi (which is way more expensive) on my face. I switched to purchasing this and IT WORKS and does it fast! My family noticed the results in 2 weeks and it is DRASTIC! I love Prodermalight...Thank you
Posted by DAT on 5th May 2016
The 10x face cream is amazing. I started noticing a difference within a week. It worked so well that you can see where I was careless with it and rubbed it in outside of the dark spots. Unfortunately it lasted me a week and a half because I put it other places besides my face.
I paid extra to have the 15x expedited this time but I'm receiving it well over 5 days which was a WASTE of money. I've emailed customer service THREE TIMES about getting some kind of store credit for the pointless shipping fee, but NO RESPONSE. Because I've waited so long, the spots I was treating have went back to their dark color. Do NOT pay for faster shipping, just buy 2 of the same item at once.
Anyway, this cream does work famously, I'll leave another review for the 15x..... whenever I get it >:(

I originally bought this cream for my face as specified, however after the first use I realized it is too strong for my face. My face is semi-sensitive. So, I decided to use it on my neck, elbows, and knees. This is day 3 and I must say wow! I'm already seeing lightening on these stubborn areas! I'm eagerly waiting to see the results in 1-2 weeks. I will do an update after I finish my jar.
This is my first purchase with ProDerma. I was skeptical, scared, and hesitant to order at first. But after reading reviews and examining the site, ProDerma seemed reputable to me so I decided to give them a try. I'm glad I did! This cream seems of very high quality, key ingredients that really work. I also love the texture of this cream, it is not too thick but it provides the right amount of moisture. In addition, shipping was very fast! I got my product in about 3 days. So I'm very pleased, and plan to buy the Kligmans Face product next.
ProDerma, thank you for giving us a safe, effective, high quality lightening product for dark skin. Please continue bringing us your product.

I'm black american and it's hard to find products that will not lighten my face but take away the dark spots from acne bumps. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT & the Price is great!!!! I'm a faithful customer from NC.
Posted by Happy Custoer on 26th Jan 2016
I have been using Prodermalight products for about a year now and I enjoy it when I find something that works well. A product which delivers the expectation it advertises. Prodermalight for me is one of those products. Keep up the good work and stay honest.
By the way I live on the other side of the world, and yet their speed of delivery is so quick it's as if they are around the corner.

I absolutely love this cream! It works so fast and shipping to Australia took only 4 days to arrive. I am very happy I bought this cream because at first I was skeptical. It lightened my face and neck so quickly I have never seen anything like it. Do you sell to stores in Australia? It would be a good market for you because we have many people with dark skin here. Please let me know where in Australia I can buy your creams.
Posted by Meilin on 17th Nov 2015
this cream works gradually....... so far used this cream for 3 weeks. noticed some good lightening results. will continue using. One of the best creams in the market
Posted by Mona Lisa on 21st Oct 2015
I've been using proderma for several years. It is the best product on the market. I had 3 very large spots on my face. I've used everything to get rid of them and proderma is the only product that has worked. This product is well worth it. I use to buy the product from eBay and Amazon. I love this product!
Posted by Ren on 12th Oct 2015
This was the first item I purchased from this company; This cream worked great for removing my stubborn suntan on face & neck. The cream was a bit greasy for my T-zone though & I did break out a little on a few occasions; I felt the 15x Body Cream has a better consistency especially when used as a night cream. Overall however I am amazed with the whitening ability of this product & definetly recommend this :)

2nd Trumpet in C from Prelude to "La Traviata" (brass quintet)
Some may recognise this as the prelude to one of the acts of Verdi's melodramatic "La Traviata", a tragedy where the leading lady succombes to a fatal illness. Others might recognise it as the bit in "Pretty Woman" where Julia Roberts cries in the arms of Richard Gere on a visit to the opera. Either way - your audience will love it! Look out for other operatic favourites from Warren Belshaw. (Trumpet parts in C and brass band quintet parts are available.)

Absolutely Recommended, Some Flaws, But Many Illustrations and an Easy Read, September 29, 2016
I rate this book as a solid five because it is a very important collection of insights — including a buried but all important indictment of Saudi Arabian Wahhabism and Western Imperialism as the true roots of ISIS. The graphics are so exceptional that I urge the author to offer this book in Kindle form where color graphics and the easy jumps from picture to brief test to picture will make this book twice as valuable as its present form limited to black and white photos.
There is absolutely no question about the author's erudition or integrity. This is a man deeply steeped — as an observing Westerner — in Arabic culture, history, and language; in the political-economic history of the region; in the role of Islam as the foundation and the glue for society and the Islamic economy; and in the contributing factors including the US invasion of Iraq and the US dismantling of the Sunni officer corps in Iraq leading to ISIS. A solid five on intent and substance.

HUDSON — Authorities have arrested a young man accused of injuring four people in a hit-and-run accident with an ATV over the weekend.
The Florida Highway Patrol says Michael Dennis Floyd, 17, was driving his pickup west on Denton Avenue about 2 a.m. Saturday when he collided with an all-terrain vehicle going south on Hicks Road. FHP said the ATV ran through the stop sign.
The kids on the ATV — ranging in age from 12 to 16 — were all thrown from the vehicle. They were taken to area hospitals for their injuries.
Floyd later told authorities he ran from the scene because he didn't have a driver's license and had a warrant out for his arrest. Two passengers in his truck eventually identified Floyd, who turned himself in to authorities Wednesday, a report states.
The Hudson teen faces charges of leaving the scene of an accident with serious bodily injury and driving without a valid license.

Owner of Licenciados and 8-9-8 Collection cigars.
(continued from page 3)
Boruchin: In 1985, I bought the whole company.
CA: When you started in 1981, what were the total sales?
Boruchin: Less than $2 million a year.
CA: What were the sales in 1985?
Boruchin: In '85 we grew the business to about $4 million.
CA: Does that mean that most of the growth was in the wholesale business?
Boruchin: Yes. Don't forget Mike didn't carry a full line [at retail] of merchandise from everybody. When I came in with the wholesale operation, he was only carrying two or three sizes of the Te-Amo. Then we added the whole line. He was only carrying two or three sizes of Montecruz. We added the whole line. The only company where Mike was carrying the whole line was General Cigar merchandise. While he was adding all of this merchandise for wholesale inventory, retail sales grew, too, in the different sizes.
CA: Did the retail business grow the same as the wholesale side or did it contract?
Boruchin: Our retail business was growing in a dying industry. A lot of retailers were going out of business. A lot of small shops were closing. But we were discounters. We were a consumer-oriented company. We were offering popular cigars at a tremendous price.
CA: Where did most of your business come from--residents of Miami Beach or tourists?
Boruchin: It was a combination. When I arrived, Mike had discontinued his mail-order business, so most of the business did come from the residents and tourists. In 1985, I started the mail-order again. Luckily, he had kept his records, so the minute I had full control of the company, I put out a letter which went to maybe 4,000 or 5,000 names. I re-established the mail-order side. We have been growing ever since. But other stores kept going out of business. They couldn't afford the rent on the malls or whatever. Maybe we were selling fewer cigars, but our share of the market was growing.
CA: I remember when I visited Mike's in 1991, the thing I loved about it the most was--forgive me for saying this--but it was a dumpy, almost garage-like store that was loaded with merchandise. Anyone who loves cigars would walk in there and thought they died and went to heaven. It wasn't fancy. There was nothing elegant about it, it was down and dirty. The counter cases looked as if they had been there since 1950. Which cigars were selling well then?
Boruchin: Te-Amo was always very strong, and Montecruz and Don Diego were also very strong brands. All the national brands were doing well. We also did a tremendous business in the seconds of Macanudo and Partagas, which we had an exclusive on from General Cigar.
CA: Did people know they were buying seconds from Macanudo?
Boruchin: Yes, they did. We didn't necessarily advertise it, but sometimes the sales staff would tell people. Normally, we just said they were seconds of the best brands on the market. People understood, because the sizes were identical and the color of the wrapper was identical. But we were careful. We felt, and General Cigar felt, that it might hurt the main brand.
CA: You have the three tiers of your business--mail order, wholesale and retail. By 1995, what were the total sales of your business?
Boruchin: Last year, we did about $11 million.
CA: What was it in 1992?
Boruchin: We did around $7 million in 1992.
CA: In 1996, what are you projecting now?
Boruchin: Over $22 million. We've doubled the business.
CA: In one year?
Boruchin: In one year.
CA: Of the $22 million, how much is mail order, wholesale and retail?
Boruchin: At one time, wholesale was 80 percent, 85 percent of my business. Today, it's 50 percent. The reason in the change is that our retail business has increased so much that no matter how much more the national companies have been giving us, we don't have enough to wholesale it. We are selling directly to consumers. The store is tremendous. The mail-order is tremendous. So, wholesale and the retail side is about a 50-50 split.
CA: When you moved to your new store last year, you were very nervous because you went from a little hole in the wall to a good-sized store.
Boruchin: We went from 1,800 square feet to 16,500 square feet. And, instead of renting, we bought the building for over a million and a half dollars.
CA: It sounds like you did the right thing.
Boruchin: God knows. The business was already pointed in the right direction two years ago, though. And, it looked like we couldn't continue on Arthur Godfrey Road. I was convinced that I had to move in order to even maintain the business that I was doing.
CA: It would seem that maybe the biggest change from a retailer's or a wholesaler's point of view would be that in the '80s you could get as much of any brand as you wanted, and today you're dependent upon your relationships with the manufacturers. Is that true?
Boruchin: Yes. But we were lucky. We were in a position in the market when the Cigar Aficionado revolution came that helped us cash in. We were probably the second-largest company in the United States in the cigar business. We were in the right place at the right time.
CA: Second to JR Tobacco.
Boruchin: Yes. By the way, we are very friendly competitors and personal friends. He [Lew Rothman, owner of JR Tobacco] is one of my largest suppliers of cigars.
CA: Many cigar lovers are frustrated about how difficult it is to get their favorite cigars. They always ask, "How long will it be before we can get the established brands?" What do you think?
Boruchin: I think every manufacturer is making tremendous investments, from growing tobacco to training cigar makers to making more boxes. You know the shortage of boxes is one of the biggest problems, even though it's not mentioned very often. I would say that if the consumption continues to grow at this rate, [we may never catch up]. If at one point, the growth does slow down, the bigger manufacturers will catch up. I actually hope it never happens, even though some people are frustrated. You know why? There're a lot of great products on the market, and a lot of new products are coming to the market. Some of them are great, and you can still find good cigars. When I left my place in Miami, I had a good supply of almost every major brand. That doesn't mean that two weeks from now we might not be out of everything.

Having passed that significant bench mark, her seventh solo crossing of the equator, she is now heading for Cape Horn. Right now she reports that she is in excellent southeast Trades, and a much-reduced west-flowing equatorial current.
The equator crossing was uneventful - at 1200GMT on Monday, which was 4am local time.
'It was still very dark, with no moon to light up the sea as she gave Neptune/Poseidon his 'tipple' in thanks for a safe passage,' Jeanne reported via Sailmail. 'It was also very rough, beating into the seas, but with good wind making for fair speed.'
She had finally escaped the calms of San Francisco Bay earlier in the month, where a replacement liferaft had been organized to replace one that 'jumped ship' on her fourth day out.
Picking up her anchor on 30m of chain without a working windlass proved challenging, she reported - but using a long line shackled one end to the chain and the other taken to a mast winch, with lots of to-ing and fro-ing between bow and mast, she finally raised it and got away soon after sunrise. 'We had a beautiful sail under the Golden Gate Bridge, with clear blue skies, in good wind, carrying the strong ebb tide out into the Pacific!'
She headed down, initially through busy shipping, then well-offshore in continuing rough seas, past Mexico and Central America, making for the ITCZ (aka 'the Doldrums'). She managed to keep going well and avoided most of the nasty weather there - in fact, she reckoned it was one of her best crossings ever! As Jeanne has been circumnavigating the world since 2007 (with pauses while she repairs boats, collects money) the technology has improved gradually. This time it could have been responsible for her 'best crossing'
'It was really useful being able to download satellite pictures showing the active cloud formations in the area, so I could see where there might be gaps to head for.'
Jeanne hopes to have rounded Cape Horn safely early in the New Year. She's well aware of the problems in the Southern Ocean, having been badly knocked down W of Cape Horn in January 2011.
'Once past Cape Horn, it will be my third crossing in the Southern Ocean towards S. Africa and on towards Australia and New Zealand. I'm hoping that ice won't be a big problem and that the weather gods will be kinder to me this time around - I had a stormy time there, earlier this year.'
She's had several problems to contend with - for the past month, her autopilot has not been working properly, for one - but she was happy to report on Friday that she'd finally fixed it and it was working well!
The wind instrument finally stopped working just under a fortnight ago - she's planning to climb the mast in the calmer seas expected this weekend to change over the wind vane unit at the mast top in the hope that will solve her problem. Having no electronic wind information definitely takes sailing back to basics!
'In practice, I'm 'driving by the seat of my pants' just now - if we heel too much, time to reduce sail - simple! But it does make life a lot easier being able to see wind strength and direction at a glance. So I hope my mast climb won't be in vain.'
Regular news reports and positions while on passage are being posted to : www.svnereida.com
At 70 Jeanne is already the oldest female to circumnavigate the world solo. If she succeeds in this attempt, she will be the oldest female to circumnavigate solo, non-stop and unassisted.
Good luck Jeanne!

The Food Standards Agency launched an inquiry in June after it emerged that some sick and injured animals had not been subjected to proper checks.
However, the report published on Monday, suggests that the risk of contracting BSE from these animals was "very low".
And it says the main safeguards against BSE were working well.
The alarm was raised last year by the Meat Hygiene Service (MHS), a body which enforces inspection and welfare regulations in slaughterhouses.
It found that two so-called "casualty cattle" - sick or injured animals - had not been tested at a plant in Scotland. More cases were detected in April this year.
The MHS later established that 55 abattoirs across Britain had failed to test 261 animals since January.
The inquiry by the Food Standard Agency has been supervised by a group of experts led by Patrick Wall, Professor of Food Safety at University College, Dublin.

Festivities, Celebrations and Holiday spirit define this time of year. Picking out gifts, hitting the holiday parties, relishing good food and honing in on aspirations for the new year. As we review another year passing we begin to redefine what is important to us. This time of year can be identified as a sort of revitalization. We return back to our warm homes from the brutal finals and we relax, often on the couch after copious amounts of eating. We enjoy our loved ones, celebrate our successes and set new aims for our personal frontiers. During this wonderful time of rejuvenation is an opportune time to spruce up our wardrobe. mstylelab is the perfect place to find great pieces that can adorn your personal style while also making you feel ready to take on the new year, and the new you in 2014.
My first look has a sort of chic bohemian essence. I saw this Maison Jules dress in the ox blood color and knew that it would be one of my pieces. The tone of the deep maroon looks fabulous on all skin tones. The deep dip in the back paired with the maxi length and slit made it so dynamic and forceful. I wanted to make this dress into a look that I would wear to the library or out to coffee, somewhere I would feel relaxed and comfortable. I decided that accessories were going to be key here. I paired the look with some beautiful pieces from American Rag on mstylelab. I went for a multicolor cross body bag, a big floppy hat and gold-tone red stone chandelier earrings. I love this look because it has an elegant yet at ease quality to it.
My second look is a casual yet vivacious look. It could be suitable for going to class, having a day out with friends or even going out to a party or to see live music. The top I have on is a mstylelab Cherry Stix sleeveless printed graphic crop top. I first saw the top and thought it was such a bold piece that it was meant to make a statement; it frankly states KABOOM! I completed the look with some awesome pieces from Material Girl, their striped leggings and spike drop earrings. The striped leggings have a very Brother's Grim vibe to them which you will either love or loathe; I personally adore. Fair warning: a bold crop top and legging combination is not for the weak of heart. For shoes I sported the fabulous Deja Vu booties. The accessory of the spike drop earrings had the same edge and bold factor in this look made me want to continue taking risks. It may be time to ask yourself if one of your goals for 2014 is to be bolder with your fashion choices, risk taker or nay?
My final look is meant for either a holiday or New Year's party. I know that we all struggle with not looking like were going to homecoming or going to a normal party and where to find the happy medium. I've found the solution, people. It is easy to gravitate toward the common holiday colors; I challenge you to step outside of the norm. An all black fierce get-up has stood the test of time as both beautiful and sensuous, all while being classically elegant. For a top I went with the Planet Gold three-quarter sleeve cropped top. This piece has become a staple of mine, perfect for either dressing up or down. I paired the crop top with the Teen Vogue embossed pencil skirt that can be found on mstylelab. I chose this skirt because it complimented the crop by being high waisted, as well as bringing in another type of texture to the look. I put the cherry on top of the look with the gunmetal-tone spike and stone drop earrings that are fierce, yet sophisticated– ideal for any festivities. I found that if you wanted to dress down the look, layering the QMack relaxed sweater over the top made it something perfect for a more casual night out.
mstylelab is a wonderful place to put together new looks for the new year. There is something so exciting about preparing for a new year as well as focusing on what you wish to accomplish in that year. As we assemble our list of resolutions, reconstructions and refocuses for the new year, think about how your personal style makes you feel as an individual. Fashionistas and Fashionistos, what will hold for your fashion form in 2014? The answers are all yours.

Jordan, EU welcome Bush statement
Jordan has welcomed U.S. president Bush's speech on the Middle East and said it was ready to work with Washington to end the Israeli-Arab conflict.
But it insisted that reforms in the Palestinian territories "must come from within Palestinian society." "It is extremely important that the United States is now taking the initiative to put an end to the conflict," a government statement said.
The statement added Amman would work with Washington to reach its objectives, which would lead to an end of Israeli occupation and the establishment of a Palestinian state.
For his part, Arab League Secretary General Amr Mussa said Bush's speech contained some "positive points', but stressed that Arab countries must be involved in creating a Palestinian state. "It is a very important speech by the American president and it must be given all the attention it deserves, because we are at a very critical moment," Mussa said. "I hope that consultations among Arab countries will lead to an objective Arab stance to assist the creation of a Palestinian state," he added.
Meanwhile, European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana on Tuesday welcomed Bush's speech as a sign of "renewed engagement" by Washington. He said in a statement the EU shared with Bush the objective of two states living side by side in peace and security. But Solana stopped short of backing Washington's call for the Palestinians to ditch Yasser Arafat, pointedly refraining from mentioning him.
Solana said an early international conference, as agreed earlier this year by the United States, the EU, Russia and the United Nations, was now "more than ever necessary".
In separate reaction, French Foreign Minister Dominique Galouzeau de Villepin said in an interview broadcast on France Info radio: "The speech by U.S. President George W. Bush converges with the aims of France and the European Union, whether it be on the fight against terrorism, a stop to settlement building and an end to occupation.
Galouzeau de Villepin, who is in Israel, said Palestinian reforms were clearly necessary. "That is a point on which we all agree and I will say this later to President Arafat. But it is only the Palestinians themselves who can choose their leaders.
German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer said Berlin welcomed "the newly expressed perspective that the U.S. would fully support a Palestinian state if there were rapid Palestinian reform efforts. "Only the Palestinian people can decide on their legitimate leadership," Fischer said. (Albawaba.com)

Lush Introduces Chewable Toothpaste Tablets 2011-07-08 03:05:00
Awesome Alert: We Have Reached the Toothpaste Singularity
Get ready to have your worldview realigned, because Lush just introduced these awesome toothpaste tablets dubbed Toothy Tabs ($4). Just think about how much space you'll save in your designated gels and liquids bag at the airport. Plus, instead of throwing away tube-style toothpaste packaging that will never biodegrade, all you have to do is recycle a tiny box.
To use, simply chew the tablet up and then start brushing. They're made with the same foaming agents as regular toothpaste, so it works exactly the same way. What do you think? Will you give these guys a go?

One of the Rewards of Operating a business while in the Construction Sector
You could possibly wait to carry out a company during the authentic estate and development, given the reality that every single of your houses features a good selling price and that you do not hold the potential to fulfill the necessary sum of money to get the fund to begin the organization. Blissful Real Estate Agents Merewether Basically, there may be no will need to worry about that make a difference as one of the advantages of the true estate and building enterprise is the fact there exists no need to implement your own personal cash, not even influence how much dollars you might have.
In reality, it's one of several rewards of functioning a business from the real estate and design business not to involve any fund. You need to know that home financial investment could pay an progress of about 20-30% on the price of the house you purchase by advancing towards the lender to borrow funds, but given that you should play them if you want to keep paying out the home loan, by way of example by leasing out the residence you've.

Syrian Refugee Pathways
The University of Toronto Mississauga Refugee Pathway (UTMRP) offers recent refugees who do not meet traditional admission requirements for UTM or do not have access to required documents, the opportunity for successful direct admission to university level studies.
We understand that many refugees are coming to Canada with unique situations and different levels of education. Some students:
- have not completed high school but are ready to attend a local high school;
- have completed high school and are now ready to enter university level studies;
- have started degree studies in their home country and are now needing to transfer;
- have completed degrees and are looking how to transfer the credentials or continue on with a graduate/professional level of studies.
No matter the situation we can work with students to help them determine the best pathway for them.

Our custom capabilities in label manufacturing cover a wide range of areas. First we will look at the types of equipment that allow us to run both short run label jobs and very large run label jobs at peak efficiency. Then we can look at custom materials used for special applications.
Short run labels can be jobs with just a few of the same label or small quantities with many versions. Both of these types of jobs lend themselves to running on our digital press equipment. With digital printing, there are no plates involved in the process so that cost is eliminated right away. The versions are made in a program like Adobe Illustrator or some other type of vector art software and sent to the printer with the quantity to print. The second version can be right behind it and sent at the same time making the entire job run with only one setup.
Digital die cutting is also great for short run label printing and can be done in line with the digital printing press. This eliminates the need for costly dies to cut the shape of the label. This is a process of creating another layer in Adobe Illustrator for the die lines. As the print job is sent to the printer, the die lines are sent to the cutter. The printer prints, the digital die cutter cuts and in one pass, the labels are finished in any shape, any colors, and finished on rolls ready to ship. The cost savings are tremendous on short to medium run custom labels.
Flexo printing is still the gold standard in medium to long run label jobs. These presses require plates for each color, and dies for each shape. The setup is a little more extensive but once the press is running, the label costs drop significantly the longer the same job runs. For very large jobs, the labels can be run with multiple up on a roll and then finished down on single rolls off press.
The types of label and tag material that can run on these presses run across the board. Standard paper labels can be run in a direct thermal, laser label, inkjet label, thermal transfer label, magnetic, and EDP stocks. Finished can be matte, semi-gloss, gloss, high gloss, and floodcoated in fluorescents or any other color.
Adhesives can be from static cling, ultra removable, removable, standard permanent, aggressive, and tire adhesives just to name a few. We even have a ceramic label material where when heated, the adhesive dissipates and the ceramic will become imbedded in the steel roll it is placed on in a furnace.
4 color process labels have vibrant colors and are key to so many customers marketing their products. Our processes allow us to protect the image with a UV varnish or laminate. Coupon labels that are folded and contain instructions under the label are also a common product for us.
All of these custom label and tag solutions can be performed and shipped direct from the plant floor to your door saving storage costs and 3rd party handling costs that many other providers hide in their pricing. We do offer blanket order pricing and other flexible options, so please contact us with any custom label requirement.

Upon publishing my first novel some two and a half years ago, it became clear to me what a gargantuan task it is to proofread your own manuscript to an acceptable standard. However many times you read at it and convince yourself that it is finally error free, you can be certain that issues will remain. Even if your own English and Grammar skills are spot on, you are simply way too close to your own work to give it a fresh and impartial read. And because you know your book so well, it is impossible to avoid falling into the trap of inadvertently skipping overly familiar portions of the text, however thorough you believe you are.
No author wants to see the dreaded words '…poor punctuation and grammar distract from an otherwise enjoyable read' in a review of their work. And although few reviews for my first novel THE STAR AGENCY mentioned grammar or mistakes, I was even more determined with book two in the series to ensure that it was watertight in that department. So the second time round, I decided that as a minimum requirement, I needed a proof-reader to vet my work. Having checked out several, I eventually came across Nicola Rhead who appeared to offer exactly what I needed, those being great testimonials - which can be cross verified on Amazon by downloading book samples - and a reasonable price.
A number of weeks before my manuscript for THE VOYAGES OF THE SEVEN was due for completion, I dropped Nicola a line to enquire about her availability, and I received an almost immediate response with a very reasonable quote. A month or so later, once the manuscript was ready, I emailed Nicola once more and submitted my novel. From that point forward, the process was nice and simple. I received progress reports throughout the process, and eventually the final manuscript on the promised date.
Viewing the final manuscript revealed how thoroughly Nicola had vetted my work. Not only were a number of errors flagged up (many of which I would never have spotted), there were many helpful notes and suggestions included which really helped me polish the final manuscript, many of which might even be deemed editing choices rather than just proofreading notes. This to me is going above and beyond the call of duty. I know that any proof-reader should be considered just an extra pair of eyes, rather than a definitive this book is now perfect. However, I could not find fault in anything Nicola had done for me.
I never preach to authors saying that they must pay for editors and proof-readers, because that decision depends on so many factors, price being at the top of that list. Some people simply cannot afford it and I understand that totally. You do what works for you and your budget. However Nicola's services worked well for me and I am happy to recommend her work to the cost conscious author requiring a great professional service.
Many thanks Nicola.

ALMOST 500 new businesses started up in Halton last year, a new study has revealed.
The figures are likely to be even higher than the statistics suggest as three postcodes, L24, L25 and WA4, also fall into the borough of Halton and are not included in the national enterprise campaign, StartUp Britain.
Halton Council has worked tirelessly to encourage inward investment and given help and support to countless fledgling businesses.
Halton Clr Eddie Jones, board member for economic development, said: "Overall our businesses survive longer, compared to the north west as a whole, despite Halton containing some areas of significant deprivation. This is something we can be proud of, as we are of our local residents who dare to grasp their opportunities.
"The Council has support in place for businesses locally throughout the entire business lifecycle, from pre-start, to start-up, and post-start to high growth and this commitment to our local and national economy will continue. "
Research shows 526,446 businesses were registered with Companies House, beating the 484,224 businesses recorded in 2012, and 440,600 in 2011.

Best Fitness Apps: Pact
Available for: Android and iOS
Cost: Free (to download)
Maybe you have the resources and the trainers you need, and instead all you lack is motivation.
You're not alone, and Pact might have a solution.
Pact might not be a fitness app the way that Hot5 is — it doesn't offer any particular workout instructions or give you any fitness advice. But it does reward you for sticking to your workout routine. And it's the creative thinking behind Pact that makes it one of the best fitness apps out there.
The method is simple: When you go to the gym and complete a workout, the app verifies your location, and you earn money. But if you miss your goals, you pay money, which ultimately goes to the more motivated app users.
Pact also can be used to track your daily food consumption, making it one of the best fitness apps for an all-around health focus.

Way of the Samurai 3
Review by Heavy_Metal_God
"Way of the Samurai 3 Review (Opinion included)"
Way of the Samurai 3 is an RPG where you assume the role of an omitted Samurai, as you do in the first and second instalments of the game. The game takes place in feudal Japan, during the Sengoku Era, in the year 1560.
You start the game by seeing your Samurai, limping through a battlefield in the city of Amana with many dead Samurai around him, you are a survivor of the battle, and have much more awaiting you.
The gameplay is fairly straight forward in terms of controls, but, unlike the previous two games, you now have more options during cut scenes, they are, draw your blade, this will cause the person you have unsheathed your weapon to, to either run away, or fight you, the other option is to apologise, this simply makes it so that the cut scene might as well not have been there in the first place. Of course, apologising does have its advantages, if you are in a battle and maybe feel as if you will lose, you can prostrate yourself, thus, apologising and depending on your opponent, you may be forgiven.
The controls feel pretty fluid, you can adjust camera settings to match a speed you want it to turn etc.
In the game you will find that there are 3 different factions you can work for, The Fujimori Clan, are the clan that control Amana, lead by Lord Shuzen Fujimori, they are the clan to join if you plan on taking over Amana for yourself. There is then The Ouka Clan, they are seen as bandits who steal from rice dealers, although they believe they are true Samurai and they are protecting the land, their sole aim, is to kill Shuzen Fujimori, and bring back the fallen Sakurai Clan. Finally, there are the villagers, not used to having a Samurai around but if you can show that you are loyal and can be trusted, you will see benefits in working for simple farmers. Of course, if you're feeling rather powerful, you could always work for yourself.
The gameplay, really wants you to feel like you are in control and give you a sense of creativity. This is achieved very well in this game as you can customize your Samurai with accessories and you can even choose their face and clothing. Another great aspect that lets you feel like this, is weapon forging, here, you can create your own sword or spear, you do this by collecting items you will find around Amana.
The graphics/sound:
Admittedly, Way of the Samurai 3s graphics are not the best graphics seen in PS3/X360 titles, but this isn't to say they are bad graphics, in fact, they are actually very good, but you may have to ignore some small details. As for the sound, the feel of the first Way of the Samurai, with its ambient background music, has been brought back, this is a good touch as it really sets the scene for the type of place you are in (e.g. In battle the music would be fast paced, whereas, in a village, it would be more calm and relaxing, etc.)
Play time/re-playability:
To complete a story, on average, it would take about 1 hour-2hours, but as short as that may seem, you are guaranteed that you will never play the same game twice (unless of course you want to) as there are over 20 different endings and pathways you can choose throughout each play-through. It is easily a game you could play over and over again, and never get bored as the possibilities are almost endless.
As a final recommendation, I would recommend this game to anyone who likes to play games and get the most out of the game you have purchased, I would personally recommend buying this title, but of course, if you have your doubts rent it first, but it is definitely a must have game. 10/10.

Excessive alcohol consumption accounts for one in 10 deaths among working-age Americans each year, making it the fourth leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States.

I'm starting to get bummed out that there's only one episode left of Ride And Seek, but at least this one is pretty damn amazing as the crew has a heavy session at the Atlanta four block before heading down into Florida. Definitely had a ton of good memories from this day… Shot my first Van Homan tailwhip gap and then he made me a smore later that night, haha.
Be sure to check out the previous episodes…

The crew hits up the infamous Atlanta 4 block where Van Homan handles a tailwhip and Garrett Reynolds completes a 180 barspin over Corey's motorcycle burnout. The next day, they take a joyride to a swimming hole smack-dab in the middle of Georgia for some much needed R&R before they head out to Gainesville, Florida to discover some more riding hotspots.

ok got a question my girlfriend is in to bondage and wax me never done any other then maybe hand cuffs she knows this and says she want to show me but need to know how to go about doing this and not looking weak or like a tool any suggestions ?
Foreplay Using Hot Wax
It sounds kinky and you want to try it; but how do you go about doing it? If you are not careful and cautious you could injure your partner or yourself – so how do you go about it safely?
As with any sexual act you need to talk about it with your partner - communication is the key. Does your partner want to try this? Do you want to be the one being pleasured with the wax or do you want to do the pleasuring? Once those questions are answered, you can proceed to the next step.
What level of intensity?
To figure this out, here is a simple way to gauge where in the spectrum you fall. As with most adventures, start gradually and work up. Find a birthday candle - if you can't find one, a taper candle will work. These types of candles are suggested because they do not create a large amount of wax. Let the candle burn for about a minute or so, until there is a small amount of wax available. Pour the wax into the palm of the hand of the person wanting to be pleasured. If your partner doesn't like the feeling at all, perhaps wax is not for you. If they still want to try it, start at a LOW intensity; do the same thing to the thigh. If they are fans of that location, try a MEDIUM intensity wax approach. If they are totally hot and craving more, you can then try a HIGH intensity wax approach.
This is a simple way to get the thrill of the heat of the wax as well as the texture. It is also a "neater" approach. Burn a candle to the point where there is a liquid wax in the approximate size of a quarter or more. Taking your index finger, run your finger along the edge collecting the soft wax (this provides the pleasurer with the safety of not being burned). Take your wax-covered finger and dip it into the liquid wax. Then place your finger on the body of the person being pleasured. This method allows for sensual touching to play a large role in the foreplay. This method can also be used on more sensitive parts of the body, such as the nipples and neck.
There are special candles available at adult stores that burn at a lower temperature than regular candles. This intensity level brings the joy of pouring wax without the high temperatures. To pour, hand-eye coordination, as well as communication, is necessary to make sure that you don't miss and pour anywhere the person feels might be too sensitive.
Great care should be taken here – both in the amount of wax used and the body areas subjected to the wax!
High intensity uses the high temperatures of regular candles. A higher end candle with smooth wax is recommended, purely for cleaning-up purposes. Simply pour the wax on to the body of the person being pleasured. To increase the intensity and the reaction, try taking the wax off right away and tracing the path with your tongue or ice. Either is sure to send shivers through your partner. Also, to vary the temperature of poured wax, pour from different heights or blow out the candle before pouring. A close pouring is hotter and more intense.
Although there is no need to shy away from erogenous zones, they should be approached even more carefully and with lower intensities! The inner thigh and small of the back are easily accessible as well as fairly hairless examples of where to start. These are not exclusive approaches. To perfect the fun of hot wax, communicate with your partner and work out their likes and dislikes to create a foolproof system.
If you and your partner want to try this, please remember that very hot wax can really burn and hurt your partner. NEVER pour hot wax into any orifice or onto the face (especially NOT near the eyes). Have fun, but BE CAREFUL!

FAIRFIELD, Ohio (AP) The father of a young southwest Ohio woman missing for more than two weeks is hoping someone can offer any clues to her disappearance.
Dave Markham spoke on NBC's Today' show Monday morning, expressing hope that somebody knows something that can help find 22-year-old Katelyn Markham. She has been missing since Aug. 13.
Markham calls the mystery a parent's worst nightmare. He says she has never been gone for more than 24 hours without contacting anyone.
Another search with volunteers is planned Monday evening. More than 100 people on Saturday searched a park about three miles from her apartment in the north Cincinnati suburb of Fairfield.
Police say they have no evidence of foul play but can't rule it out.
