SQL Fundamentals
SQL is the language of data, and it is a critical skill to have when working as a Data Analyst, Data Scientist, or as a Data Engineer. In fact, more data analysts and data scientists use SQL than use either Python or R (because both Python and R programmers use SQL, too). In our SQL Fundamentals course, you will learn the basics of this critical skill and start building some experience working with SQL databases.
This course will teach you how to explore and analyze data in SQL through hands-on active learning. You will learn concepts such as how to preview a SQLite database table and how to filter the rows in a table using the WHERE clause to select only the data you want to look at. You will also learn how to use aggregate functions in SQL to create summary statistics for various tables. Some aggregate functions you'll get familiar with are computing the minimum, maximum, and average values of a column.
You'll also learn how to use the GROUP BY clause to compute group-level summary statistics in a database table. We'll cover how to query virtual columns using the HAVING clause to further filter your data after aggregation, and we'll explain the difference between the WHERE clause and the HAVING clause.
In this course, you'll also learn how to write complex, nested SQL queries using subqueries. At the end of this course, you'll get hands-on practice using the Python SQLite workflow to explore CIA factbook data and learn to generate visualizations using SQLite results.
By the end of this course, you'll be able to:

Why You'll Appreciate Home Pest Control When You Start Spring CleaningDecember 17, 2018
Ready for spring cleaning?
Don't be surprised by any uninvited house guests. At Top Notch Turf, we provide our customers with reliable home pest control. You should know what kinds of pests your home needs protecting from, and which ones you need to be on the lookout for.
Storage areas usually left alone are often the target of hard-working spring cleaners looking to go beyond their regular cleaning routine. These quiet, undisturbed areas also attract spiders looking for a safe place to chill out. As spring cleaning tasks begin to shake things up, both parties will be surprised.
Here are a few things you should know about home pest control and spiders.
1. Spiders move around.
They will likely find a place to hide during the day, and the move to a different place to hide at night. Just you've declared one space spring-cleaned, and spider-free doesn't mean your spider troubles have been surely vanquished.
2. Spiders need water.
Ready to clean under the kitchen sink? What about the bathroom sinks? The space enclosed under the sink is often a great place to conveniently store unsightly cleaning supplies and toilet paper. Spiders see this space as prime real estate.
Here they'll have access to water and will remain relatively undisturbed.
3. Don't forget to vacuum under the couch.
The most likely place for a spider to chill during the day? Under the couch or armchair. It is hidden and goes undisturbed for days on end.
4. Spiders love your clutter.
It is not a good idea to leave piles of half-done projects and miscellaneous items you are sure to eventually sort through. Most of us have these piles somewhere in the house.
Here is some extra encouragement to get back to them. Or at least remind yourself to use caution when approaching long-untouched piles of things.
5. Watch out in the garage, attic, and basement.
Every home deals with pests. They could be in the back of your closet, behind a desk, or in the corners of your ceiling. Even if you are the June Cleaver type of housekeeper, you need to be wary of spiders in your garage, attic, and basement if your house has them.
If you see signs of a spider infestation in these areas, call a professional. It is important to know what you are dealing with before you start cleaning these areas.

When starting, the message list's column are not properly re-sized. In my configuration (which is Fancy), the first column "Message" is way smaller than the second column "Status" which only contains two status icons.

To get a readable message subject (more that the 20 first characters), one had to right-click the list header and click "Adjust Column Sizes" in the popup menu.

The column are then properly re-sized.

I wrote a mini patch which automatically resizes the column. It actually adds 2 lines of code in the view constructor which are the same lines executed when "Adjust Column Sizes" is clicked.

There is still need to recall that code when the view is resized but in a first time, this is quite enough for what I need. I'll attach a patch that also adjusts the columns when the view is resized.

I also don't know if this would alter other message list themes and/or configurations, use with care.Cazouhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906198410648851270.post-9562310269999552872010-04-26T14:35:00.001-07:002010-04-26T15:07:56.029-07:00Google Summer of Code 2010 !Yay, I've been accepted in the Google Summer of Code program this year !

Google should maybe have a look at the way they inform students they have been accepted.
I received 2 emails, the first one saying I've been accepted for the "Revive Kuroo" project ((an adapted version of) the proposal will be posted here soon). So Yay, I've been accepted.

And the second one, saying I did not make it. That explains itself by the fact that one of my 2 proposals had to be rejected.

What's Kuroo ?
Kuroo is a Kde based fronted for portage - the Gentoo packaging system. The switch to KDE/Qt 4 killed the project leaving all Kde users without any portage GUI.

And what are you gonna do ?
The project will finish the (already started) port to Qt 4 and Kde 4 support will be dropped as we want light applications and avoid forcing people to install the whole kdelibs/kdebase (which is something that takes time on Gentoo).

The way the application uses portage (currently by executing the emerge python program) will be changed to using the portage API provided from the PackageKit project.
Compatibility with the new Portage API will also be added so that Kuroo can be used again by anyone !

And you'll do that all alone ?
I'll work alone on the project but my assigned mentor is Brian Dolbec (Porthole project) and Andrew Schenck (Kuroo project) will be there too to help in some possible troubles I might have with C++.

I also wrote a proposition to improve the KDE multihead support but that one did not make it.

I can't wait to start working on this project ! Lots of ideas are already in my head, for the GSoC and after !

So now, let's talk with my mentor and plan all this exciting Summer of Code.Cazouhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906198410648851270.post-38101417537655550152010-02-11T00:29:00.000-08:002010-02-11T01:49:35.133-08:00Facebook chatSince yesterday, Facebook announced the immediate availability of it's XMPP compatible chat. (The first anouncement was done in May 2009)

You can now use Kopete to chat on Facebook, without the Facebook plugin.

First of all, you must go to the Facebook page to create an username if you hadn't yet.

Then, go the the configuration dialog of Kopete and create a new account. Choose XMPP/Jabber/Google Talk, not Facebook.

The configuration is simple :

Enter the jabber ID : <username>@chat.facebook.com

Enter your facebook password (or not, if you don't want Kopete to remember it)

Go to the Connection tab and uncheck "Allow plain-text password authentication"

Make sure that "Use protocol encryption" and "Override default server information" are unchecked

Click Next and enjoy !

Isn't it ?

That's just little thingies in KDE 4 you sometimes meet, makes you smile and you will never see it again because you have no idea where it might come from.Cazouhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906198410648851270.post-81770403821289374642009-03-25T06:25:00.001-07:002009-03-26T17:03:01.951-07:00GSoC is back on and Cazou -vHey, it's been some time since I have written something here. Waw, my last blog entry was on September 17. In fact, I hate blogging, not because I don't have anything to say but because I'm rarely sure about what I'm talking about and I have some problems with english which I almost everytime remake my way.

Anyway, This also is my first entry on planet KDE, yay \o/. I added myself some time ago but never posted anything. So, to start with the beginning, I'm happy to be here :-).
I participated last year in the Google Summer of Code and was supposed to add support for VoIP for the jabber protocol in Kopete. I started by modifying libiris in kopete to support an early version of the Jingle protocol which has changed a lot since then. Now, I'm working with the Psi/Delta team to add Jingle support directly in Iris. Later, Kopete will be updated to a Jingle supported version of Iris and/or will have Telepathy support which will replace most of the protocol plugins inside Kopete. That explains why I'm not an active SVN committer since 2 or 3 months.

But enough about the past, GSoC is back and this year, I will - and I promise - be more verbose, I will tell you everything I'm doing on this summer of code (If I participate) and I will even try to explain what I'm going to do in advance.
My participation in GSoC this year does not mean I will totally stop working on Jingle, I'll just slow down things.
There are several project by which I'm interested, in different organizations. About KDE, I like the idea of presentation recording in Okular (+KPresenter ?) which would record timings and sound from the microphone (and animations in KPresenter ?).
X.Org's multi-touch implementation. Even though I never touched at X.Org's source code, that would be great to have something moving there. The XInput mechanism doesn't seem that complicated and the motivation comes from freinds being silly with their Mac Book :D.
The other ideas I suggested in other organizations were not suitable or I simply did not get any answers (a DBus service to replace the GnuPG smart card reader daemon, some ideas on openMoko which are apparently already implemented).Cazouhttp://email@example.com

This binding is used to invoke a JavaScript function when the associated DOM element is submitted. This binding is used mostly for form elements.
The form is not actually submitted to the server when submit binding is used. KO prevents browsers default action. If you want submit binding to work as real submit element, then return true from your handler function.
submit: <binding-function>
The binding function here will be the main function which needs to be invoked after submit event.
This function can be any JavaScript function and need not be necessarily ViewModel function.
Let us take a look at the following example which demonstrates the use of submit binding.
<!DOCTYPE html>  <title>KnockoutJS Submit Binding</title>    <form data-bind = "submit: addition">
Enter first number: <input data-bind = "value: var1" />

Enter second number: <input data-bind = "value: var2" />

<button type = "submit" >Click here for addition</button>
 </form>
Let's carry out the following steps to see how the above code works −
Save the above code in submit-bind.htm file.
Open this HTML file in a browser.
This program adds 2 numbers. In KO, any accepted data from UI is considered in String format by default, so it needs to be converted to Number format in case of Numeric operation.
Please refer to click binding for additional notes such as passing extra parameters, etc. All notes on that page also apply to submit binding.

I find myself speaking to liberals more and more these days (maybe since they have become so bold with Obama-mania). I see such a double standard in the way that they talk and think. Obama is a classic example of this with his appointments now that he is president (no more lobbyists? who did he just appoint? oh yeah a lobbyist, yet he is excused because he is the right man for the job, can we say double standard?) I do not want to get into the Obama debate now because I could write on and on about the Obama liberal double standard. I want to write about a website that I have been visiting for a while now. The site claims to be founded by people who are open-minded and tolerant. I read some of the posts and immediately saw many false statements. Believing that these people were truly open-minded and tolerant I decided to correct some of the mistakes. I was very nice as I explained why the writers were wrong in what they had stated. They were making claims about God that were not Biblical. I brought the Biblical argument with the correct changes. I was immediately attacked. The open-minded tolerant mood changed dramatically. I learned quickly that open-minded means that you have to be open-minded to what we believe (i.e. liberals) but it is not reciprocal. There was also a claim that the writers on the site were free thinkers yet when someone began to question their ideas with good arguments (i.e. me) then they began to censor what was written. This is a typical response from liberal free-thinkers. The site is here if you want to see it. The author uses a lot of liberal rhetoric to excuse himself for censoring someone who can argue well against the liberal talking points. You can see for yourself that liberal free thinkers are not so open-minded. I am so glad that God does not have a double standard like people. He always says what He means and means what He says. God speaks in a clear way and all we need to do is listen.

Bass guitar is a pretty big instrument and sometimes it can seem a real challenge to play even basic sounding basslines or solos because of the stretches involved. In this lesson I show you how to make the most of the hands yo mama gave you and even stretch an octave on one string without moving your hand. Boom.
Tips For Large Stretches
- Keep the thumb relaxed and centered on the back of the neck
- Try not to pull the thumb back too much or curl it around the front of the fretboard
- Keep fingers in a claw shape to maximise precision
Pivoting is a way of angling the thumb to the left or right in order to jump wider distances.
Practice this technique using the G major arpeggio below. Pivoting will help with the stretch between the 7th and 12th fret on the G string.
You can apply this to pretty much any arpeggio for practice. Here is an example of the F major arpeggio – try pivoting between the 5th and 10th fret of the G string this time.

Change Control
Current Status and Anticipated Changes
The following support level definitions are used by the Arm ABI specifications:
- Release
- Arm considers this specification to have enough implementations, which have received sufficient testing, to verify that it is correct. The details of these criteria are dependent on the scale and complexity of the change over previous versions: small, simple changes might only require one implementation, but more complex changes require multiple independent implementations, which have been rigorously tested for cross-compatibility. Arm anticipates that future changes to this specification will be limited to typographical corrections, clarifications and compatible extensions.
- Beta
- Arm considers this specification to be complete, but existing implementations do not meet the requirements for confidence in its release quality. Arm may need to make incompatible changes if issues emerge from its implementation.
- Alpha
- The content of this specification is a draft, and Arm considers the likelihood of future incompatible changes to be significant.
All content in this document is at the Release quality level.

Arm Contract reference LEC-ELA-00081 V2.0 AB/LS (9 March 2005)
The C++ ABI for the Arm 64-bit architecture comprises the following sub-components.
- The generic C++ ABI, summarized in The Generic C++ ABI, is the referenced base standard for this component.
- The C++ ABI supplement in The C++ ABI Supplement details Arm-specific additions to and deviations from the generic standard.
- The generic C++ exception handling ABI summarized in The Exception Handling ABI for the Arm architecture, describes the language-independent and C++-specific aspects of exception handling.
- The C++ exception handling ABI supplement for GNU/Linux in EH ABI Level III: Implementation ABI for GNU Linux details Arm-specific additions to and deviations from the generic standard for GNU/Linux systems.
The generic C++ ABI is implicitly an SVr4-based standard, and takes an SVr4 position on symbol visibility and vague linkage. This document does not cover extensions for DLL-based environments.
The Generic C++ ABI
The generic C++ ABI [GC++ABI] (originally developed for SVr4 on Itanium) specifies:
- The layout of C++ non-POD class types in terms of the layout of POD types (specified for this ABI by the Procedure Call Standard for the Arm Architecture [AAPCS64]).
- How class types requiring copy construction are passed as parameters and results.
- The content of run-time type information (RTTI).
- Necessary APIs for object construction and destruction.
- How names with linkage are mangled (name mangling).
The generic C++ ABI refers to a separate Itanium-specific specification of exception handling. When the generic C++ ABI is used as a component of this ABI, corresponding reference must be made to the generic C++ exception handling ABI as summarised in The Exception Handling ABI for the Arm architecture, and the C++ exception handling ABI supplement in EH ABI Level III: Implementation ABI for GNU Linux.
The Exception Handling ABI for the Arm architecture
In common with [IA64EHABI], this ABI specifies table-based unwinding that separates language-independent unwinding from language specific aspects. The [IA64EHABI] specification describes three levels of ABI:
Level I. A Base API, interfaces common to all languages and implementations.
Level II. The C++ ABI, interfaces for interoperability of C++ implementations.
Level III. The Implementation ABI specific to a particular runtime implementation.
The AArch64 C++ EH ABI uses Level I and Level II of the Itanium exception handling ABI as specified.
EH ABI Level III: Implementation ABI for GNU Linux describes the EH Level III ABI used on GNU/Linux systems.
The C++ ABI Supplement
Summary of differences from and additions to the generic C++ ABI
This section summarizes the differences between the C++ ABI for the Arm 64-bit architecture and the generic C++ ABI. Section numbers in captions refer to the generic C++ ABI specification. Larger differences are detailed in subsections of Differences in detail.
GC++ABI §2.2 POD Data Types
The GC++ABI defines the way in which empty class types are laid out. For the purposes of parameter passing in [AAPCS64], a parameter whose type is an empty class shall be treated as if its type were an aggregate with a single member of type unsigned byte.
Of course, the single member has undefined content.
GC++ABI §2.3 Member Pointers
The pointer to member function representation differs from that used by Itanium. See Representation of pointer to member function.
GC++ABI §2.8 Initialization guard variables
This ABI only specifies the bottom bit of the guard variable. See Guard variables.
GC++ABI §3.1.4 Return Values
When a return value has a non-trivial copy constructor or destructor, the address of the caller-allocated temporary is passed in the Indirect Result Location Register (r8) rather than as an implicit first parameter before the
this parameter and user parameters.
GC++ABI §3.3.4 Controlling Object Construction Order
Global object construction is managed in a simplified way under this ABI. See Controlling Object Construction Order.
GC++ABI §3.4 Demangler
This ABI provides the demangler interface as specified in the generic C++ ABI. The ABI does not specify the format of the demangled string.
GC++ABI §5.2.2 Static Data
If a static datum and its guard variable are emitted in the same COMDAT group, the ELF binding [Generic ELF] for both symbols must be STB_GLOBAL, not STB_WEAK as specified in [GC++ABI64]. ELF binding of static data guard variable symbols justifies this requirement.
GC++ABI §5.3 Unwind Table Location
The exception unwind table shall be located by use of program header entries of type PT_AARCH64_UNWIND. See Unwind Table Location.
(No section in the generic C++ ABI) A library nothrow new function must not examine its 2nd argument
Library versions of the following functions must not examine their second argument.
::operator new(std::size_t, const std::nothrow_t&)
::operator new[](std::size_t, const std::nothrow_t&)
(The second argument conveys no useful information other than through its presence or absence, which is manifest in the mangling of the name of the function. This ABI therefore allows code generators to use a potentially invalid second argument – for example, whatever value happens to be in R1 – at a point of call).
(No section in the generic C++ ABI, but would be §2.2) POD data types
Pointers to extern "C++" functions and pointers to extern "C" functions are interchangeable if the function types are otherwise identical.
In order to be used by the library helper functions described below, implementations of constructor and destructor functions (complete, sub-object, deleting, and allocating) must have a type compatible with:
extern "C" void (*)(void* /* , other argument types if any */);
(No section in the generic C++ ABI) Namespace and mangling for the va_list type
The type
__va_list is in namespace std. The type name of
va_list therefore mangles to
Differences in detail
Representation of pointer to member function
The generic C++ ABI [GC++ABI] specifies that a pointer to member function is a
pair of words
<ptr, adj>. The least significant bit of
discriminates between (0) the address of a non-virtual member function and (1)
the offset in the class's virtual table of the address of a virtual function.
This encoding cannot work for the AArch64 instruction set where the architecture reserves all bits of code addresses.
This ABI specifies that
adj contains twice the
this adjustment, plus 1
if the member function is virtual. The least significant bit of
adj then
makes exactly the same discrimination as the least significant bit of
does for Itanium.
A pointer to member function is NULL when
ptr = 0 and the least significant
bit of
adj is zero.
Guard variables
The generic C++ ABI [GC++ABI] specifies the bottom byte of a static variable guard variable shall be 0 when the variable is not initialized, and 1 when it is. All other bytes are platform defined.
This ABI instead only specifies the value bit 0 of the static guard variable; all other bits are platform defined. Bit 0 shall be 0 when the variable is not initialized and 1 when it is.
Controlling Object Construction Order
The generic ABI specifies a #pragma and .priority_init section type to allow the user to specify object construction order. This scheme is not in wide use and so this ABI uses a different scheme which has several pre-existing implementations.
The compiler is responsible for sequencing the construction of top-level static objects defined in a translation unit in accordance with the requirements of the C++ standard. The run-time environment (helper-function library) sequences the initialization of one translation unit after another. The global constructor vector provides the interface between these agents as follows:
- Each translation unit provides a fragment of the constructor vector in an ELF section called
.init_arrayof type SHT_INIT_ARRAY (=0xE) and section flags SHF_ALLOC + SHF_WRITE.
- Each element of the vector contains the address of a function of type extern "C" void (* const)(void) that, when called, performs part or all of the global object construction for the translation unit. Producers must treat
.init_arraysections as if they were read-only.
- The appropriate entry for an element referring to, say,
__sti_filethat constructs the global static objects in filecpp, is 0 relocated by R_AARCH64_ABS64 (__sti_file).
- Object construction order may be controlled by appending an unsigned integer in the range 0-65535 (formatted as if by printf("%05d", priority)) to the name of the section. The linker must lay these sections out in ascending lexicographical order.
- Sections without a priority number appended are assumed to have a lower priority than those sections with a priority number. The linker should lay out sections without a priority number after those sections with.
- The priority values 0 to 100 inclusive are reserved to the implementation.
- Run-time support code iterates through the global constructor vector in increasing address order calling each identified initialization function in order.
ELF binding of static data guard variable symbols
The generic C++ standard [GC++ABI] states at the end of §5.2.2:
In effect the generic standard permits a producer to generate one of two alternative structures. Either:
COMDAT Group (Variable Name) {
Defines Variable Name // ELF binding STB_GLOBAL, mangled name
Defines Guard Variable Name // ELF binding STB_WEAK, mangled name ...
} // (... this ABI requires STB_GLOBAL binding)
COMDAT Group (Variable Name) {
Defines Variable Name // ELF binding STB_GLOBAL, mangled name
COMDAT Group (Guard Variable Name) {
Defines Guard Variable Name // ELF binding STB_WEAK, mangled name
A link step involving multiple groups of the first kind causes no difficulties. A linker must retain only one copy of the group and there will be one definition of Variable Name and one weak definition of Guard Variable Name.
A link step involving pairs of groups of the second kind also causes no difficulties. A linker must retain one copy of each group so there will be one definition of Variable Name and one weak definition of Guard Variable Name.
A link step involving a group of the first kind and a pair of groups of the second kind generates two sub-cases.
- If the linker discards the group that defines two symbols there is no problem.
- If the linker retains the group that defines both Variable Name and Guard Variable Name it must nonetheless retain the group called Guard Variable Name. There are now two definitions of Guard Variable Name with ELF binding STB_WEAK.
In this second case there is no problem provided the linker picks one of the definitions.
Unfortunately, [Generic ELF] does not specify how linkers must process multiple weak definitions when there is no non-weak definition to override them. If a linker faults duplicate weak definitions there will be a functional failure.
This ABI requires the ELF binding of Guard Variable Name in the first structure to be STB_GLOBAL.
The rules codified in [Generic ELF] then make all three linking scenarios well defined and it becomes possible to link the output of compilers such as armcc that choose the first structure with the output of those such as gcc that choose the second without relying on linker behavior that the generic ELF standard leaves unspecified.
EH ABI Level III: Implementation ABI for GNU Linux
This section describes the Exception Handling Implementation ABI for GNU Linux systems.
It specifies:
- The format of the unwind tables
- Standard Runtime Initialization features
- Throwing an Exception
- Catching an Exception
This section follows the layout of [IA64EHABI] §3.
Data Structures
The format of the exception tables is as specified in [LSB] §II.11.6 (Exception Frames).
The codes used to describe the encoding of pointers used in the exception frame tables, are the values described in [LSB] §II.11.5.1 (DWARF Exception Header Encoding).
Note that in particular that the layout of the Language Specific Data Area (LSDA) is not specified by this ABI. The structure and layout of a LSDA is specific to a particular implementation of a personality routine.
Standard Runtime Initialization
See [IA64EHABI] §3.3.
Throwing an Exception
See [IA64EHABI] §3.4.
Catching an Exception
Overview of Catch Processing
Stack unwinding itself is begun by calling
__Unwind_RaiseException(), and performed by the unwind library. See [IA64EHABI] §3.5 for a summary.
The Personality Routine
The personality routine is specified in [IA64EHABI] §2.5.2.
Exception Handlers
The behavior of exception handlers is described in [IA64EHABI] §2.5.3.

Blade Master: Overview & Origin
By kamrenamir 0 Comments
I've been wondering this since I got on the CV. Can I like put specific threads in one place so I have easy access to them?
Hey if you read my preview for Nightwing and Oriole, (http://www.comicvine.com/forums/fan-fic/8/nightwing-and-oriole-preview/675712/#11) Than you know that Nightwing has a new sidekick. Well I'm really looking forward to this series but I have no idea for an origin for Valarie/Oriole. I really want it to be original and not that much like any of the Robin's. So I need YOUR help. If you could give me some basic ideas that would be great. Put them in the comments or if you want, PM me. Thanks.
Okay so I was writing some Fan-Fic and then a Question came to my head. First: As you know Captain Marvel and Black Adam can call down the lightning bolt by saying Shazam, and they can also use this as an attack by intercepting the bolt with their opponent. (Can you see where this is going?) So I was wondering, what would happen if Captain Marvel tried to do that to Black Adam? Would he be transformed back or would he get hurt?
(Note 1- I would like to thankfor revising this, he is awesome and he has been (if I may) a mentor to me in the Fan Fic department, I really promise to work on my writing skills. )
(Note 2- This, took, FOREVER. I hate how my production speed is. Anyways.Umm I can't get into my other account right now but I'm sure i'm not the only one. Here is Number 2 if you didn't read. http://www.comicvine.com/myvine/kamrenamir/new-amalgam-universe-teth-dakom-2/87-79452/)
"So, umm, Lady Blaze, why don't you tell me a little about yourself" said Dak stumbling over his words "Since you're sorta kidnapping me!"
"In good time boy" said Lady Blaze sternly. She silently and swiftly walked through the streets, Dak in tow. They arrived on an eerily dark street; at the end on the right there was a telephone booth that looked out of place
"Get in!" Lady Blaze motioned to the booth.
"But" Dak was cut off by a large flame erupting from Lady Blaze's hand. "Fine" Dak sighed and hesitantly walked into the booth. Dak was nestled into the corner of the booth; Lady Blaze entered and closed the door, the small space got even smaller.
"So what now? We need like twenty more people to break a record"
Lady Blaze ignored him and proceeded to pick up the receiver and typed in a sequence of numbers. When she finished typing in the numbers she hung up the phone, folded her arms and stared directly at Dak. He contemplating saying something but decided against it.
Soon the booth started to shake violently. Dak looked around slightly panicked when suddenly the ground opened up and the booth plunged underground. Dak screamed. Blaze rolled her eyes in disgust at him. After a few tense minutes; the booth shuddered a halt. Lady Blaze was motionless in the middle of the booth looking down at Dak who had wedged himself into the bottom corner
"Where are hell we?" Dak said while getting his mental composure back.
Lady Blaze cracked a smile as she flung open the door "Exactly, but I call it home."
"So why am I here?" yelled Dak getting to his feet
Lady Blaze walked out of the booth onto the dark and cold land and sighed "You are here, because I want you to be my champion on earth, and by that I mean that I want you to work for me."
"Okay, this could work out" said Dak "But how do you expect me to do all of these tasks? I'm assuming they're going to be worldwide things."
"Follow me and you will understand" Lady Blaze began walking across the dormant underworld. After what seemed like days of walking the two arrived at a black and gold door sitting in the middle of nowhere.
"Before you go into this room" Lady Blaze turned and stared at Dak "I must tell you, I have promised Set, that you would be merciless and would not hesitate to do any job that was asked of you. Are you ready?"
Snikt! Snikt! Dak popped all of his claws and smirked "Merciless? I was born merciless
(Note-This took way to long to come, I have procrastination problems. Here's Teth-Dakom numero uno if you missed it:http://www.comicvine.com/forums/fan-fic/8/new-amalgam-universe-teth-dakom-1/660280/)
Walking down the narrow ally as stealthly as possible, Dak even surprised himself with how good he was at stealth movement
Getting about ten yards behind the thugs Dak started to scrape his claws on the ally wall.
The thugs didn't seem to notice the scrapping untill one of them dropped some money.
Looking back to Dak the thug was paralyzed.
"What are you starin at stupid." The leader said while hitting him on the head.
As all of the thugs turn around and look at Dak they are all were stricken with fear.
After about 5 minutes of standing still Dak was getting bored.
"What's wrong guys?" Dak raised his arms so his claws were in better view.
"We, Your supposed to be dead?" The leader managed to sput out.
"Ohh you're talking about what happend back there? Naahh that was just a minor set back. " Dak was scrapping his claws on eachother now.
"Hey, he has claws like that one hero we heard about on T.V." One of the thugs whispered into the leader's ear.
"I think his name was Dark Claw" The thug continued.
"I doubt he knows how to use those things" The leader said with a smirk.
"Let's work him over." Now all of 5 of the gang memebers were taking out switch blades.
Dak laughed in the way you would expect an evil villain to laugh.
"I hope you understand that the only way to kill me is to, decappitate me." Dak said walking closer.
"How about we stab you in the neck a million times." The leader said getting ready to charge.
"Fine by me." Dak got into the best fighting posistion he could think of.
As all of the thugs realease their blades Dak did feel a bit nervous. He had never actually fought with his claws. Just killed people. But his healing factor gave him some reassurance.
"This time. Make sure he dosn't get up." The leader said as he and the gang charge Dak.
Still in his fighting posistion Dak jumped up in the air about 5 feet above their heads and plumeted with his claws aimed for the leader.
The leader saw this coming and swiftly jumped out of the way of the attack.
As a blade was swiped at Dak he ducked and thrusted his three claws into the thug's kneecap.
With blood gushing onto his face Dak flipped over that thug and land next to another.
Slashing the thugs arm Dak grabbed him and threw him into the leader.
While both of them fall to the ground Dak runs up to another thug, dodges a swipe and thrusts his claws into the thug's neck and stomach.
"Wow, that is a lot of blood." Dak said while pulling his claws out of the thug.
"The last two left." Dak was now looking at the leader who was hiding behind the other thug.
"So which one dies first?" Dak could tell the leader was about to make a run for it.
As the leader charge for the now further end of the ally Dak stabbed the already damaged thug in the stomach and ran for the leader.
The leader was far ahead of Dak and was about to get to the exit when a female silhouette came out of the darkness and wrapped it's her hand around the thugs's head.
Stopping in his tracks Dak watched as the Silhouette squeezed the leader's head until it burst open and the entrails splatter on the wall.
"Dakom Akihiro, Your coming with me." A voice came from the Silhouette.
"Who-Who are you?" Dak said, truly terrified.
"Call me, Lady Blaze."
(Sorry if my fight scene isn't that good. I'll work on it. )

"Suit, stand down."
Rhody could barely hear his own voice over the crackling of the flames engulfing the trucks.
"Well, that wasn't to hard" Rhody said to himself as his gattling gun went back into it's idle position and the shield was deteriorated.
"Suit, call Tony."
"How's it goin Rhody?" Tony said still sounding drunk
"What am I looking for again?" Asked Rhody as he walked through the village looking through half exploded houses.
"Weapons Rhodes." My Stark Tech is very valuable.
"Oh. Got you Tony." Rhody said opening a door to a cellar.
"Suit, barrel cannon." The cannons around his wrists came up and were armed.
Shooting into the cellar at least 5 times Rhody proceeded to fire at all of the buildings in the village
Now, as the whole city lay in ruins with just about every building in flames, Rhody needed to get going.
"Suit locate next village." A locator appeared and Rhody prepared for flight.
"Suit, Fly" Rhody said while looking at the clock in the upper corner of the HUD
"4:30, Okay this can be managed."
Flying high through the sky at 95 mph Rhody grunted in pain as a HEAT round struck the chest plate and propelled him to the ground.
"How did I know something like that was going to happen?" Rhody spat out as he cough.
Looking up the village was in view and about 5 miles away.
But, surrounding the village on all sides, were tanks.
A man that looked like a general poked his head out of one of the tanks with a megaphone.
"Suit, translate." Rhody said before the man started talking.
"We have already utilized the Stark Tech blueprints." The general yelled.
"Turn back now or we finish you off." The man went back into his tank.
"Hah, yea right." Rhody said with a smirk.
"Suit, gattling gun." As the gun go into firing position a bullet wooshed into the gun and it exploded on Rhody's shoulder, sending him back to the ground.
" G*d Dammit" Rhody exclaimed with anger.
"I don't have time for this!" Rhody yelled raising his open palm to the tank.
" Suit, Repulsors!" As the beam of energy hit the tank with the general in it, there was an instant explosion.
From another tank a man came out and yelled.
"Kill him, or I kill you!"
All of the tanks moved into position, and Rhody let them.
"Suit, Shield." The shield reappeared.
"Suit, Barrel cannons" The cannons came up again.
"Let's do this." Rhody pointed the cannons at the multiple tanks and began flying and dodging the Blasts.

Fourteen years, thats how long I've been alive.And In those fourteen years I've hurt a lot of people.But I think it's justified. My father left my mom when I was three, and as a result, my mother committed suicide.So I've been moving from foster home to foster home because the owner of the orphanage never seems to getin that all of the people in my life, die. They all have 3 clean stab marks in their chests.
As Dakom "Dak" Akihiro walk down the street of the run down neighborhood he now called home he planned the assault on his new family.
"Maybe this time I'll get picked up by someone wealthy" Dak thought to himself as he turned a corner.
Walking past a park, five thugs emerged from the darkness of the playground.
All of them having cigeretts in thier mouth they exited the park and surounded Dak.
"Look who it is, the new runt that moved in." One of the thugs pushed Dak
"How much money you got on you runt?" The thugs were getting more violent
"None that you and your bastard friends can have" Dak was resisting their pushing.
"Oh, he's a smart mouth" One of the thugs said
The apparent leader of the thugs pulled out a switch blade.
"We can do this the easy," Suddenly Dak's knee was thrusted vigorusly into the thugs stomach, forcing him to drop the knife.
While the other thugs help the leader off of the ground he pushes them away.
"Congratulations runt, your going to die" One of the other thugs says as he give the leader his knife.
"Beat him to a pulp" The leader says pointing to Dak.
"I pefer my orange juice without pulp actually." Dak said with a smirk.
As the thugs charge at him Dak swiftly dodges their clumsy bodies and runs down the street.
Approaching an ally with the thugs close behind him he decided to play with them.
Running into the ally Dak faked tripping over his foot and stayed on the ground wimpering.
"Please don't hurt me." Dak said as convincingly as he could.
"To late for that runt!" The leader yelled as the other thugs picked Dak off of the ground and held his arms.
Pulling out the switch blade Dak decided that he would let them stab him.
Walking up Dak the leader grabbed his shoulder and thrusted the knife into Dak a dozen times.
Dropping to the ground Dak somewhat liked the pain that came after those thrusts, but only because he knew that it would be gone in a couple of minutes.
By the time Dak was fully healed the thugs were about 3/4ths of the way down the ally.
Why they decided to walk down to the other end, who knows? But it would be their biggest mistake.
Standing up and brushing off the dirt from his old navy jacket Dak brought his hands up in front of him and
instantly, three claws came out, 2 from his knuckles and one from his wrist.
(note-Dakom is Egyption & Japanese thus, first name and last name)
Do stores sell minimates? Or is it just online?

As NightRunner vaulted the last radiator and leaped the final rooftop in the night sky he was finally in sight of the protest.
"This has to be the biggest one this month" Nightrunner said to himself.
Looking down to the crowd of at least 30 people, all was calm, until Nightrunner noticed a fire start in the middle of the crowd. Then suddenly all the protesters began charging the small group of riot shield officers sent to keep them in line.
As the protesters threw rocks and punched at the officers Nightrunner knew this wasn't going to end well if he didn't intervene.
Right as Nightrunner jump off of the building to go help, she saw officers coming out of a swat car with loaded rifles.
"Damn" Nightrunner said as he pulled out a batarang.
Throwing the batarang at an officer about to shoot Nightrunner faintly heard the man cry out in pain.
Pulling out another batarang Nightrunner leaped off the building and landed outside of the crowd.
Flipping into the air Nightrunner throws the batarang and putting another officer in pain.
Landing in the middle of the crowd a man with a baseball bat swipes at Nightrunner.
Jumping over the man and grabbing the bat in mid air Nightrunner landed behind another officer.
Bashing the officer in the head, Nightrunner noticed another van of fully armored officers park near the riot.
The protesters were becoming deadly and started fighting each other.
"Why are they doing this?" Nightrunner thought to himself.
Suddenly there was a loud pop, and Nightrunner heard a cry of pain in the crowd.
Looking over, a guard was holding a revolver and their was a man bleeding out on the ground.
All was silent as everyone watched in horror.
As the protesters dropped their signs, they all just left.
Now, as all of the officers surrounded Night runner he released a smoke pellet and when all was clear.
He was Gone.

text: Staff Host Account / Sunday, March 3, 2019 / Categories: Islam Times-English Saudi Arabia tortured US citizen: NYTimes The dual citizen, Walid Fitaihi, is a Harvard-trained physician and motivational speaker and was detained in November 2017 along with around 200 other prominent Saudis during what Riyadh has attempted to portray as an "anti-corruption" drive. He has not been handed any public charges or given a chance to stand trial. The New York Times reported on Saturday that Fitaihi was subjected to horrific torture. Citing a friend of Fitaihi's, who was not named, the daily said the 54-year-old was interrogated under torture. "Dr. Fitaihi told the friend he was slapped, blindfolded, stripped to his underwear, and bound to a chair," the Times wrote. In at least one instance, he was shocked with electricity for about an hour, it said. His tormentors also whipped his back so severely that he could not sleep on it for days, the friend said. The associate said Fitaihi was questioned primarily about a relative who had also been detained — namely Adel Fakeih. "Dr. Fitaihi believed his interrogators were seeking evidence against Mr. Fakeih," the friend was quoted as saying. Fakeih was a former top aide to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who has ordered the detentions. Fitaihi remains in detention, and it is unclear whether the torturing has stopped. Also in November 2017, the Middle East Eye (MEE) news portal cited sources inside the Saudi court as saying that a number of the high-profile figures had sustained serious injuries under beatings and other instances of torture. According to the report, several of those subjected to physical abuse were taken to hospital with torture injuries. There were, however, no wounds to their faces so they would look normal when they later appeared in public, it added. The Times report said, "A military officer who had been detained died with a twisted neck and other signs of abuse on his body, according to a person who saw it." Mohammed was named heir to the throne in early 2017, when his father, King Salman, ousted former crown prince Mohammad bin Nayef. Ever since, the kingdom has been embroiled in a number of unprecedented controversies, including the killing of Saudi dissident and Mohammed's critic Jamal Khashoggi. He was murdered and dismembered after entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul last October. US intelligence agency the CIA has concluded that Mohammed personally ordered Khashoggi's murder, according to The Washington Post. When King Salman made Mohammed defense minister in 2015, the German foreign intelligence agency BND said in a report that the king and his son had plans to destabilize the region with aggressive intervention in other countries.Link to original article Previous Article Sanders attacks 'dangerous' Trump at campaign launch Next Article Somalia on alert for new Takfiri attacks after scores killed Print 196 Rate this article: No rating Tags: Saudi Arabia Leave a comment Name: Please enter a name.

Live Strings Wedding Music Livingston, Montana
Planning Your Livingston Wedding Music:
Live wedding music can change the mood and heart behind your wedding. Live musicians bring in a special atmosphere for the bride, groom, and each of your special guests. They are trained in playing to cater to the moment. We all know that weddings can often have some unexpected twists and turns. If these surprises present themselves, your cellist and other wedding musicians can easily change their tone or timing to make the day flow perfectly. Want to work on planning your day some more? Visit the "Planning your wedding music" page. You can also write me and I'm happy to help answer any questions you have regarding hiring me as a live cellist for your Livingston wedding ceremony.
Click: Planning your wedding music
Travel Fee:
I do charge a travel fee of $0.50/mile for any location that is over 25 miles outside of downtown Bozeman. Depending on the location address, The travel fee for your live music in Livingston will be at least $32 (may vary depending on location) on top of the fee for your wedding music. This fee should be pain in advance of the event in order to cover fuel and travel fees for the musician.
Wedding Music Timing:
Typically my Livingston brides will plan to have my live cello wedding music for their event an average of 3 hours. This will allow for your guests to enjoy music prior to the Livingston wedding ceremony, during the ceremony, and after the ceremony for cocktail hour while the bride and groom take wedding photos with their bridal party and family. I do not suggest that you hire me for any less than 3 hours to accommodate set-up and tear down as well as any surprises that may occur during the actual day of the Livingston wedding event. If your event goes longer than planned I am happy to accommodate the space with incredible music. If this happens and I do end up going over the time that I was paid for... I will invoice you for every 30 minutes that I stay and play. I want to make your Livingston wedding everything that you ever imagined and more.

Your garage door secures your car, your home, and other belongings. Making sure that your garage door is working properly should be your priority. The following is a simple guide that will help you detect 4 common garage door problems. And you'll learn what might be the cause.
4 Common Issues & What This Might Mean
1. Garage Door Doesn't Move
Your garage door might not go up or down when you command it to do so. These symptoms usually point to worn or broken springs. Your springs should last a long time, but this does depend on use. They are meant to withhold a lot of pressure, which could be dangerous to you. So call your garage door specialist should you notice any issues with your springs, or try to fix it yourself if you feel you are capable. Remember that having the parts before your professional arrives might reduce the cost as well.
2. Operates Without A Command
Your garage door opening and closing without you pressing the command might be due to a misplaced transmitter. Gather all of your controllers, and make sure they were not being toyed with by one of your children or a pet.
Another reason why you are experiencing this rather eerie phenomenon could be that a neighbor is using the same frequency as you are. You can look in your owner's manual to change the frequency if you suspect that this is the reason your garage door is acting up.
3. Door Refuses To Touch Ground
There could be a number of reasons why your door is halting prematurely. It could mean that your garage door is doing its job and reversing before crushing an element in its way. Check to see if you see any debris or toys that may be in the way of your garage door. The item could be quite small depending on the sensitivity of your garage door sensors.
4. Door Boomerangs After Hitting The Ground
Remember those sensitivity sensors mentioned above? They could be the cause behind the phenomenon of a door closing only to rise again after you press the command. Check your owner's manual to see if your sensor's sensibility is too high, causing your garage door to mistake the ground as an object that it should not crush.
There you go; you can conquer some simple issues now that you have a few possible causes of the aforementioned problems. For additional information regarding garage door problems, contact a business such as Overhead Door Of Akron.Share

Dentures or possibly a dental bridge come with very particular challenge. When you have one of these devices, you may have grown used to these challenges by now. If your dentures escape your mouth when you are least expecting them to, then perhaps you should try talking to your dentist about dental implants. Here is some info to get you started on the journey to more comfortable dental health.[imp_text_call_to]
Dental implants are quickly overtaking traditional dentures as the favored method for replacing missing teeth. They look more natural and realistic than any other replacement option available. They are permanent, strong and stable in your mouth, not like the old dentures. In short, implants make your life less stressful than dentures.
Lost teeth are serious health problems, but many people find them much more serious dents to their self-confidence. Your whole attitude to life can shift if your smile has gaps in it. And you may choose to isolate yourself from social settings, which can be rather sad, since a dental implant is a minor procedure. Dental implants can solve your confidence problems, as they are going to restore your healthful appearance directly.
Dental implants really are a great choice because they are going to protect you from bone deterioration. Damages can be caused by a missing tooth even if you have appliances including bridges or dentures. When you have dental implants installed, your remaining natural teeth will still have the support and strength they need because there are not unfilled holes in your jaw.[imp_text_call_to]
Your looks will likely be improved in so many ways when you have dental implants installed. They can fix sagging areas of your face by improving your bone structure. When you have lost teeth and replaced them with implants, the shape of your face will remain basically the same. The pearly white smile you'll get from implants really enhance your looks as well.
With the way dental implants are permanently mounted, there is no chance of them falling out of place at inopportune times. You also don't need to change your routine dental hygiene to eliminate or clean implants in the way you'd with dentures. To keep your implants looking and feeling great, simply brush and floss the same way you take care of your own teeth.
In case you have a missing tooth or even a number of them, you can solve your problem using dental implants. The benefits listed are just the top of the list of the number of advantages they have over other dental procedures to cover or replace lost teeth. Dental implants are considerably more robust than the rest of your teeth. Also, since the implants are made of high-quality, durable material, you'll never need to worry about getting a cavity in an implanted tooth.

Be careful what you wish for…
Already, the 2014 airwaves are becoming heavy with political ads from various PACs, targeting incumbents who will face primary elections soon. Most notably is the ad urging John Boehner (R, OH) be replaced as speaker of the House of Representatives.
I'm not necessarily a Boehner fan. However, in the first place, Boehner represents the 8th Congressional District in Ohio. Folks outside that district cannot vote for him in any election. Second, the Speaker of the House is elected by members of the majority House party at the time. Why run national advertising? (In my opinion, the ad is not particularly professional looking, either.)
Now, I've been a Tea Party supporter since the beginning, but what bothers me most is many hard-line Tea Party folks are not satisfied with gains (as in 2010), urging an immediate all-or-nothing. In my view, given the diversity of the United States, it is not reasonable to expect to change Washington, DC, and replace every long-time incumbent overnight. It seems the result of attempting to do so in a cavalier fashion is folly. I believe we must continue to work hard to promote conservative values to the American people in every way possible, and the nation will come to realize what we have allowed our representatives to become. Conservatives cannot be silent.
Your wishes can backfire. Case in point: A group of Tea Party faithful targeted Sen. Richard Lugar (R, IN) in the last primary election, as having served much too long in the Senate, and his voting record was becoming questionable for conservatives. Another candidate was elected as the GOP candidate for the fall. Unfortunately, the less experienced Republican misspoke two weeks before the general election and the Democrat now serves in Washington.
It is difficult to be patient these days–ObamaCare, IRS scandals, Benghazi, jobs, the deficit–but it behooves patriots to be diligently thoughtful and choose our battles carefully. Really good candidates are difficult to find, and most cannot withstand the microscopic scrutiny the candidate and his or her family will suffer. The electorate will usually not accept a candidate "warts and all." Start looking. — D. C. 'Dan' Lee, "DannyBoyStories.com"

Hey GWSB!
This is Dave Gelsomino, currently studying at King's College London (KCL) through GW England in Central London. It's been about a month and a half since I arrived here, and I'm pretty much already at the halfway point. Time flies when you're abroad! The week of Halloween is the last week of classes before a mid-term Reading Week. I'm sure you know what to expect; a week of traveling from one European city to another, from hostel to hostel. But KCL isn't kidding when they call it a Reading Week; it's definitely not a Fall Break. Classes here are extremely heavy on reading, and almost all of them culminate in one large assignment that makes up between 70-100% of your final grade for the course. It's easy to fall behind on the readings, so I'll be spending most of next week catching up and beginning to work on my end of term assignments. Don't worry though, I'll be sure to find some time to take advantage of the break from class to do some more exploring of London.
Even if you spent all four years of college in London, you could never fully explore it. The size and scope of London is mindboggling. You can walk for hours and still be in Central London, with major tourist attractions like the British Museum, Westminster Abbey, the National Portrait Gallery and Shakespeare's Globe Theater all located within the heart of the city. Luckily for me, as a member of a signature GW program (GW England), I have gotten to experience some of the city's pricier attractions for free, including the London Eye, a show at Shakespeare's Globe Theater and a walking tour of the City of Westminster. The Underground (or Tube) makes getting around London a breeze, but definitely has a bit of a learning curve as it's about three times the size of DC's Metro.
By far one of my favorite aspects of studying abroad is meeting people from around the world. I am in a full immersion program, which means I live with international students, take classes as if I were a full time student at KCL and am essentially a one-term transfer to the University. KCL has an enormous international population (55%!), and I have so far met students from the UK, France, China, Hong Kong, Nigeria, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Bulgaria, India, Germany and Austria just to name a few. In both of my group project teams (you can't even escape them abroad!), each student is from a different country. It really provides amazing insight into your work that you would never have otherwise. Hopefully GW will continue to increase its proportion of international students as this has been one of the best parts of my experience in London! The only word I can use to describe Londoners themselves is quirky. They are an eclectic group of people in one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world. Everyday I walk by ethnic restaurants from every corner of the globe and hear dozens of different languages being spoken on the street.
London is also a great place to be if you want to travel during your study abroad experience. I decided that I would rather get to know my host city and country better rather than traveling every weekend so I have planned a relatively small number of trips, including Paris, Amsterdam and Geneva. But if you want to spend every weekend exploring a different part of Europe, London is probably the ideal place to be as a central hub for low-cost airlines like EasyJet and RyanAir.
No matter where you choose to go abroad, it will be an amazing learning experience that I would encourage everyone to do! See you across the pond!

today we cuddled in the morning and ..right now we're both unemployed starting a new business together,.. So we didn't get up for several hours.. We woke up around 9- cuddled, fell back asleep- cuddled- fell back asleep etc
While cuddling, I recognized the tension stored and festering behind my pubic bone that resulted from an orgasm a couple days ago. I stayed present with it.. Laying there, recognizing the tension, breathing, not doing anything to it, just being there... It slowly released, but not completely. I just stayed with it mentally and emotionally- recognizing how the tension will/may/and does affect my day to day emotions, as I will sometimes have emotional bursts a few days or week later after an orgasm.
Don't mean to be XXX, but- I ended up sucking on my Bf's nipples at one point. It was actually very comforting and reminded me of the nurturing we both can give eachother. He was relaxed and enjoyed it too.
We ended up having sex, but it was very slow. No movement. I laid on top of him and we kissed slowly a lot, but we didn't really hump eachother, just remained PIV and held one another. I felt so blessed.
At one point I said out loud, does this sound crazy, but can you tell how much more connected this felt? He said "of course, it was a completely different experience." He told me later that I was around him completely. For me, I felt like I could tell each time he became more excited or moved a little, I remained more still and relaxed. And I felt we both intuitively and silently understood eachother's struggle but felt connected and grateful to stay how we were. I said sorry once and he said "no, enjoy it" and held me.
I ended up giving him a BJ later, so he had an orgasm, but none for me and it was good that way. He still has a hard time not orgasming if he felt he has "gone too far (in feeling) to go back". I understand, and I know his intention eventually will be to become aware and remain in a place entirely where he will not go "past". I anticipate even more awareness when we do things slow and I'm not in a post-O time.

Did he request
the BJ, or did you do it out of gratitude to thank him for the lovely karezza?
I did it out of gratitude
I've gotten good at saying I'm not in the mood if I don't want to.
Could you find
another way to express your gratitude?
Have you noticed any changes in your closeness since then?
Yes, I probably could. But it becomes extremely uncomfortable for him if we get to a certain point and he doesn't O. I realize how silly this is.. Because he needs to learn how to be aware of his limits, but he gets really cranky...... I feel responsible. I want to change this by slowing down sex a lotttt, but I realize the more sensitive he becomes, the more he may feel that it's necessary to O, even when he's past a two week range.
I could express my gratitude with a massage, which I do a lot.
It wasn't so much that I did it because I felt I had to, but because I was also turned on,.. For both our sakes, I see how it would be good to start training ourselves to stay out of the no-o zone. I think we're both still feeling out if we want to dedicate to karezza. I know for sureeee, that I do better without orgasm (in all my life) and going sloth-slow makes amazing comforting and depth over any other sensation. He still enjoys fast sex sometimes :/ which I don't want to do anymore, because I realize my heart isn't present for it. I know he's also said he wants to do slow sex and he's not sure why we haven't started it before. The only thing that keeps pulling us back to quicker sex is - truly- me, when I don't say no to faster sex, and also when I decide to have an orgasm, which takes away any comforting feeling from slow sex, so we often don't have sex or nothing at all.
Please talk me out of it LOL
What is the longest
he has gone without orgasm while doing regular karezza?
He's gone without orgasm for over a month, when we weren't having sex at all. But we've never done regular karezza, no-o for both at the same time.
Would he try that
for a month do you think?

Russia: Moscow Court Finds Glamorous Ex-Defense Ministry Official Guilty in Corruption Case
A Moscow court ruled Wednesday that former Defense Ministry official turned celebrity Yevgenia Vasilyeva was guilty of fraud as one of Russia's most high profile corruption trials entered its final stage.
Vasilyeva, who denies her guilt, is accused of stealing 3 billion rubles ($59 million) in twelve separate incidents as part of a huge graft scheme at the Defense Ministry. She was found guilty of eight of 12 alleged charges of criminal activity, TASS news agency reported Wednesday evening.
The scandal erupted in 2012 and cost several top officials, including then Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov, their jobs.

Inspirational Women of the Year Awards: How one mother's heartbreak has helped save countless young lives
As part of our Inspirational Women of the Year Awards — launched with The Open University — the Mail is telling the stories of some of the people you've nominated. ISLA WHITCROFT talks to Anne Jolly, 56, who, after the sudden and unexplained death of her teenage son, set up a charity to prevent other families suffering a similar terrible loss. . .
Terrible loss: Anne's son Ashley was only 16 when he died of Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome. Now she helps other bereaved families
Twelve years on, Anne Jolly can still remember every word of the phone call that shattered her world for ever. She was at work, and her youngest son Philip was on the line, panicked and frightened.
'It's Ashley. I can't wake him. He won't wake up, Mum.'
'I knew immediately that Ashley was dead,' says Anne, then a secretary working part-time hours to fit around her family. 'I don't why — call it a mother's instinct.
'I raced home in a blind panic and found Ashley lying on his bed, looking peaceful as if he was asleep. But he was clearly dead and probably had been for some hours.
'The paramedics tried to revive him, but stopped quite quickly. They said they were sorry but there was nothing more they could do.'
Ashley, a sports-mad, fit 16-year-old was gone for ever. Because his death was unexplained, the police were called, the room cordoned off and no one allowed in.
Finally, his body was taken away for a post-mortem, leaving behind him a utterly distraught and shell-shocked father John, mother Anne and brother Philip, then 14.
'The pain is like a physical one which takes your breath away,' says Anne. 'You care for your children, nurture them, protect them and keep them safe from all harm — only to find that you can't actually keep them safe from death.
'We sat there in a daze. I was desperately going through what he had eaten the day before, what he had done. How could my son die without warning, without even giving us a chance to save him?'
It was a question that was to haunt Anne for months to come.
'The post-mortem results stated he had died of an asthma attack,' says Anne, from Brentwood, Essex.
'But I just couldn't accept that. Ashley had never had an asthma attack in his life, his bedclothes were undisturbed and neither his brother, who slept in the same room, nor I had heard a thing. Surely he would have struggled for breath or called out for help.'
The need to find out the truth of what happened became, in Anne's own words, an obsession.
'I went on the internet and started to write letters and emails to experts in a variety of fields. I sent a copy of Ashley's post-mortem to professors in all the London hospitals and eventually one wrote back to say they felt Ashley's death most fitted the symptoms of a cardiac abnormality.'
Cardiac arrhythmic abnormalities claim the lives of eight young people each week, usually without warning.
They come under a variety of names — Long QT Syndrome, Catecholaminergic Polyventricular Tachycardia and Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, to name but a few — but essentially all describe the disruption of the electrical signals which keep the heart pumping.
If the pattern is disrupted enough, the heart stops beating, within seconds the brain is oxygen-starved and, like a light flicking off, the person is dead.
'You care for your children, nurture them, protect them and keep them safe from all harm — only to find that you can't actually keep them safe from death'
Anne says: 'I researched the condition, speaking to charities in America and Australia. Gradually, I realised this was most likely to be the cause of Ashley's death.
'Until then, I'd felt so lonely, as if we were the only family this had happened to. It was a relief to know we were not on our own. The shock was not only did nobody seem to know much about the condition, but nobody seemed to want to know.'
But, as Anne was to discover to her horror, it wasn't just pathologists who were ignorant about it. GPs, coroners and even some cardiologists were unaware of the condition and, worse still, of the early warning signs which, if read correctly, could save someone's life.
Symptoms include dizziness, blackouts, unusual chest pain on exertion, feeling faint and seizures. But, as Anne says: 'Not everyone will have symptoms. Ashley didn't that we can recall.'
No warning: Ashley was a sports-mad teenager
However, if there are symptoms and the sufferer is referred to a cardiologist who specialises in arrhythmia, there are drugs that can help. In some cases, a tiny implantable defibrillator can be fitted which restarts the heart when it stops.
'Unfortunately, these symptoms taken separately are vague and can easily be written off as something else,' says Anne.
'A few years after Ashley died I met one boy who'd been diagnosed with epilepsy, and even though his medication wasn't working and he was still passing out, his doctor persisted in this diagnosis.
'It wasn't until his family came across one of our leaflets that he was properly diagnosed and fitted with an internal defibrillator. Without that, he could well have died and his death been attributed to epilepsy.
'Family history is a critical area of diagnosis. Often, when you look at the family tree of victims, you'll see they have had several members who died prematurely and suddenly — maybe in their sleep, or an unexplained car crash, or by drowning when they were a strong swimmer.
'I realised there was a huge need both to make the public aware of the symptoms of cardiac arrhythmia, but also to get the medical profession up to speed as well. Experts around the world were doing great things, but not exchanging developments that could save lives.'
So a year after Ashley's death, Anne and John launched the organisation Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS) from their own home, supported by the British Heart Foundation and backed by key cardiologists.
'I do it for Ashley and for all the other young people who, like him, never got the chance to grow into adulthood'
A year later the group received charitable status, and in 2002 held its first conference at the Royal College of Physicians which was attended by more than 60 medical experts from all over the world — the first time there'd been such a gathering on the syndrome. SADS has held a conference every year since.
From the start, Anne was sure awareness and education was the key to cutting deaths.
'One of the first things we did was to send symptom leaflets to every GP's surgery in the UK, both to enlighten the GPs and to inform the public,' she says.
'We contacted cardiology units, and often they pass their newly diagnosed patients onto us for support.'
Anne is now a trained bereavement counsellor, and a heartbreaking but necessary part of her work is talking to traumatised parents.
'I know exactly what they're going through,' she says.
Several times a year the charity runs bereavement retreats where people can talk to others in the same situation.
'We share memories, trauma, light candles and hold memorial services.'
Fundraising takes up a great deal of Anne's time, and she's proud there are now more than 100 heart monitors and heart event recorders in GPs' surgeries across the UK, all funded by SADS, and the same number of external defibrillators in sports clubs, leisure centres and schools.
'A target is to have an external defibrillator in every school in the UK,' she says. 'They are so simple to use, and if you can keep someone's heart going until the paramedics arrive, you could save their life.'
In just over ten years Anne and SADS have helped thousands of families, raised hundreds of thousands of pounds to buy essential diagnostic and life-saving equipment and ensured that millions of people have now heard of sudden arrhythmic death syndrome.
'Before Anne, there was zero awareness of this condition,' says Dr Andrew Grace, senior cardiologist at Papworth Heart Hospital.
'Today, thanks to her work, awareness of sudden adult death is high both among the public and medical profession. Now families have somewhere to turn, not only for cohesive, reliable information, but also to receive counselling. Out of her loss she's achieved an enormous amount.'
Despite being about to become a grandmother, Anne has no intention of slowing down. 'I just keep ploughing on,' she says. 'I do it for Ashley and for all the other young people who, like him, never got the chance to grow into adulthood.
'SADS doesn't give you a chance to say goodbye. I want to spare anyone else suffering that.'
