Identified - Greeting everyone. Tonight some of our servers have fallen to a DDoS attack. The attackers appear to be trying to hit every server we have publicly. Their attacks are failing to completely drop our EU/NA fleet of servers, although they are creating connectivity issues due to the firewall increasing it's protection rules. Most clients will barely notice a different upon playing the game, though we are still investigating 1 of our Asia Pacific servers which was affected by the attack.

More to come.

Many new pool owners wonder what clarifiers are and why are they needed in a swimming pool. Now pool clarifiers are not supposed to be used for the entire swimming season continuously, but to clear up certain problems. Plus, clarifiers are generally used when the pool is first opened or after an explosion of algae that has been treated. It is also needed if filtering has been reduced or chlorination reduced. So this product is designed to make your pool water clear again if it's cloudy.
Too, if you find your using a clarifier regularly then other factors could be the problem causing cloudy water. So you may want to check to see if your PH is too high, if you have high TDS or if your calcium is too high. Also problems with cloudy water can be caused by high alkalinity and cyanuric acid which is also high. Additionally, if your filtrations system is poor, if you don't keep your pool clean or if the circulation in your pool is slow; all this can contribute to a cloudy pool.
However; if all the above is in order and your chemical levels are maintained, but your pool is still cloudy, then you will need a clarifier if you are not adding one. Now a clarifier works by trapping particles which are invisible and visible in the filter. These particles are then drawn into the filter by the circulating movement and removed from the water. So when you are treating your pool with a clarifier, run your filter for 24 hours during the period of treatment or as long as you can to improve both filtration and circulation.
As much as you want to during this, don't over clean the filter. Clean the filter or backwash when there is a 7-9 pound reading on the pressure gauge. Also after the treatment, make sure you maintain the proper chlorine levels and water PH balance to keep your pool clean and clear.
So, using a clarifier when needed will give you a sparkling clean pool.

The Halfpipe Training Programme is for skiers & snowboarders with their eyes on the international competition scene...
The Halfpipe group is new for this 2019, offering skiers & snowboarders an opportunity to focus 100% on competitive pipe riding. Training starts later in the season & gives athletes a chance to warm up before the expected pipe opening.
The programme will run for 4 days a week (generally Thurs – Sun) from the start of August. Halfpipe training is very susceptible to weather, snow & pipe conditions so there will need to be a little flexibility on training days in the week.
We highly recommend starting the season by joining the Core Skills Camp. It will help to jump-start your season!

Weekend Numbers
- Two people have been killed and at least 29 others wounded in weekend Chicago shootings on the last weekend of summer.
The weekend's first homicide took place around 4:10 a.m. Saturday in the city's West Garfield Park neighborhood, in the same block where three others, including a 12-year-old boy, had been shot late Friday night.
- Just before 7 p.m. Saturday, a 21-year-old man was fatally shot while driving on the city's Northwest Side.
Police were flagged down in the 3300 block of West Chicago Avenue and discovered a 21-year-old man had been shot in the chest in the 3900 block of West Ferdinand Street. The man was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition but was later pronounced dead.

I have this weird phobia of sharing dishes with other people. It sounds like it's not a big deal but it's getting really bad, and it's awkward to tell people. I have to go around my house trying to find plastic forks and paper plates all the time because I just can't use any dishes other people use. It's so bad I can't usually eat over friend's houses or have sleepovers cause I feel like they would be offended.
HELP I can't be the only one!

Glitter, feathers and brightly colored wigs turned Dupont Circle into a sea of vibrancy Tuesday night as scores of men put on mascara to compete in the 17th annual High Heel Race.
Despite a light drizzle, thousands of people lined 17th Street between P and R streets to watch drag queens gallop down the street, cordoned off by Metropolitan Police officers for the occasion.
The race, which takes place every year on the Tuesday before Halloween, featured cowgirls, cheerleaders, a tastefully dressed Princess Diana and a Winnie the Pooh and Piglet duo that suggested S&M rather than harmless friendship.
After the race, which was won by a well-built 20-something clad in fishnet stockings, the streets filled with spectators who treated the queens like stars, asking them for autographs and pictures.
The race left most in good spirits, including two queens who came as Anna Nicole Smith and Peggy Lee, a famous singer.
"We shuffled along. It's wet! It's rained two years in a row now. We've been doing this for seven years," said the man dressed as Anna Nicole Smith.
Hailing from D.C., both queens stood in the street after the race, sipping large martinis and talking to bystanders.
The man dressed as Smith brought along a dog resembling Smith's dog, Sugarpie.
Participants who did not win the race said they enjoyed the atmosphere and event.
"I gave a good effort," said a queen who called herself Whiskers. "It's not as easy to run in heels as people would think, but it was a valiant run."
Whiskers, standing resplendent in all his glory with friends after the race, wore a gray dress, a scarf and a hat over a purple wig.
Bars and restaurants were packed during and after the one-minute race, as people celebrated the race and its inherent message of freedom of expression.
As the night wound down, MPD started to break up the crowds. One squad car drove out with a drag queen dressed up as a police officer sitting on the back of the vehicle.
One person yelled, "It's the last gay cop in D.C.!"

Asset Tag Structure and Hierarchy Guide
1. tagging Structure
The general idea is to have a High-Level structure defined by 3 things: Location, Technology, and Exclusion.
The location tag structure should be created within your business units, starting with region, country, etc...
The following images are simple examples to help you get started. Every team/dept/company/etc.. has their own preferences for tagging structure. Your tag structure is defined by the level of granularity that you're company is trying to accomplish i.e. - OS > OS Type > OS Kernels, etc...
- Operating System Hierarchy (Parent and 2nd level child tags)
- Windows Desktop Tag Hierarchy
- Mobile Devices Hierarchy
- Network Devices Hierarchy
- Windows Servers Hierarchy
Benefits of creating an exclusion tag
a. Reduces the Qualys subscription costs by decreasing the number of ip's that are scanned.
b. Identifies the technologies that are in scope.
c. Increases accuracy and filtering for reports.
Once all your technologies are defined and tagged, move the technology tags (that are out of scope) to your exclusion tag.
* In order to remove the excluded ip's from the Qualys ip subscription count (exclude ip's from future scans), you must...
1. Verify assets are properly identified and tagged under the exclusion tag.
2. Once you have verified the assets are properly tagged, you can copy the ip lists to your global exclusion list.
3. Purge old data.
Exclusion Process
The exclusion process will be managed at two levels – Global and at Scan Time.
Old Data will also be purged.
- Scan Time (Dynamic List) will be managed at every scan.
- Global (static List) will be managed once a month.
- Purge old data
A. Exclude hosts at scan time
Under the Asset View Module: Click the Assets tab and then click Tags. You will notice an asset tag called "Exclude". This is where all the dynamically tagged (for exclusion) assets will be located.
At Scan time click new scan - > Tags
Select the tag/tags you want to include first, and then select the "Exclude" tag for the "Do not include" section.
Note: Always add the asset tag "Exclude" to the "Do not include". That should be the only tag that is added here.
B: Globally exclude hosts
There is one global excluded hosts list for the subscription. To see this list, or to make changes, go to Scans > Setup > Excluded Hosts.
1. Exclude Hosts Using Global Exclusion List
The Excluded Hosts Setup page appears with a list of IPs currently excluded, if any. Click Edit to make changes to the list. You can add or remove hosts. Note that add and remove actions must be performed at different times.
In the Hosts section, enter the IPs you want to add to the list.
Now click Comments on the left side and enter notes about the changes you're making. Comments are required and will be saved in the history log for the excluded hosts list. When you're done, click the Add button to add the hosts to the excluded hosts list. (If you're removing IPs from the list click the Remove button instead.)
A confirmation window will appear. Click Add again to confirm the change.
Which users have privileges to globally exclude hosts?
Managers and Unit Managers have privileges to edit the global excluded hosts list. Managers can add/remove any host. Unit Managers can add/remove any host in their business unit.
Can I add IPs to the excluded hosts list that aren't in my subscription?
Yes. IPs not currently in the subscription may be added to the excluded hosts list. This ensures that they will not be scanned even if later added to the subscription.
Is it possible for an excluded host to show up in map results?
Excluded hosts may appear in map results if discovered via a DNS method. If the IP belonging to a DNS server is included in the excluded hosts list and this server is used to resolve DNS names for hosts in the map target, then the service will still send normal requests to the DNS server. The server, however, will not be scanned for vulnerabilities.
C. Purge Old Data
- Select VM and go to Assets > Asset Searchand find the hosts you'd like to purge.
Last Scan Date NOT WITHIN the past 90 days
- In the Asset Search Report, select all or some hosts under Results, and then select Actions: Purgeand click Apply.
Both methods will prompt you with the following Warning:
"Purging hosts will remove all automatic host data as well as associated tickets and exceptions (scan results will not be removed). This host data will be removed from your account: vulnerability data and compliance data. None of this information will be recoverable.

Eyes are considered to be the window into one's soul, and thus the frame needs to live up to its interior. In comes Passioneyes the New Dolce&Gabbana Makeup mascara which lends both volume and curl to the lashes.
Scarlett Johansson shot by Tom Munro in the new Dolce & Gabbana Makeup campaign for Passioneyes mascara.
The Passion Eyes Duo Mascara brush is moulded in a curved shape to create flirty, full and curled lashes. A thick centre features bristles spaced closely together, allowing for absolute precision and control in application. The special cut of the bristles – longer in the middle and shorter on the ends of the brush – mirrors the natural form of the lashes, enabling them to capture, coat and curl lashes simultaneously.
Combined with the volumising formula, the tailored brush and shaped bristles deliver clump-resistant, impeccably curled lashes with irresistible, bold volume.

Here we are again: another series and another chance to play Syfy versus BBC. At the end of season 1, I speculated that there were enough differences between the two that perhaps Syfy would be branching off in its own unique direction. One episode in and it definitely still looks that way. Just to be clear, I intend to spoil the ending of both BBC and Syfy's first seasons, and the BBC second season. If you didn't see either of those endings, don't go forward—you're supposed to be surprised. 🙂
Let's start with the end of last season, which is important in order to understand some big differences that exist before the second season even begins. If you don't recall and you missed the replay tonight, let me remind you that Sally tries to torture Josh via bitching and moaning so that he'll use his wolf to kill Bishop for Aidan, since all three friends are veritably certain that Aidan will lose the fight. Josh reluctantly agrees, but then Sally and Aidan turn the tables on him in order to protect him from having to kill.
That was a huge surprise for BBC fans, which was great because I thought I could only be surprised the first time around. In ours, George pretends he intends to run away with Nina, when in fact he tricks Herrick into being locked in with his wolf. He changes and tears Herrick to shreds. The American version does offer a more satisfying fight, as the BBC focuses on a battle of words and the fight itself is a few blurry moments of audible savagery. Yet this is George's attempt to accept his wolf in order to save his best friend. That's why George and Josh begin their respective second series in completely different places.
This might be a good thing, since in the BBC version, George spends much of this season being kind of a dick and poor newly-turned Nina deals with most of her problems alone. Will this happen for Josh? Hard to say, but so far there are few similarities.
Both Nina and Nora keep having been scratched a secret until the first change. However, Nina can see Annie, so she asks for help and swears her to secrecy. I had hoped that Sally and Nora would have a similar bonding experience, which in my mind could have been done without allowing Nora to see her yet, but Sally continues to be solely immersed in her own ghostly realm. While it seems likely that Josh will find out about Nora, depending on how he manages to escape being shot by the vampire, Nina continues to keep her secret until the truth comes out in an argument. She has distanced herself sexually from George, which he interprets as her rejecting his wolf. (This may still happen with Nora and Josh, since the series starts with her gently refusing him.) Nina begs George for patience and support but he is overwhelmed with self-loathing and the new level of anger and violence that are the result of his having embraced his wolf in order to kill Herrick. He is also on edge because vampires are constantly attacking him in retaliation for Herrick's death. This is obviously not part of Josh's reality at this point, which may change the direction of the series.
BBC's Being Human Season 1 ends with an introduction to the villain of the following series, and it has nothing to do with any vampire "Mother". I've said before that the Old Ones were only introduced on BBC in Season 3, and the finale suggested that there would be a conflict with them next season. The villain for Season 2 is an old man who has apparently been searching for the trio, and found them with the help of mental patient and fiance-murderer, Owen. We find out in Season 2 that he's a religious man who views all non-humans as abominations.
The environment between the roommates is fertile for a villain to exploit. Mitchell is overwhelmed with being the new vampire king; George attempts to separate himself further from his wolf and causes more problems with his denial; and Annie is threatened by the world beyond the door that she turned down and also begins to think about the implications of immortality as an unchanging ghost. Given Sally's nightmare about a reaper coming after her and Aidan's problematic attempt to keep the vampires clean, some BBC plot lines will clearly prevail. The future of Josh and Nora is much more unclear. I do hope Nora will go through the same anger and angst and love that Nina went through as she struggled to accept her new role.
One thing is clear, Syfy has an advantage because they're two seasons behind. This gives them a chance to avoid the pitfalls that poor Toby Whithouse's show has run into because three of the four main characters are leaving before the story is told. If you don't know what I'm talking about, those are more spoilers than I really want to put here—Google at your own risk.

Rabbi Gershon Winkler discussed his work on Jewish shamanism, as well as translating and teaching rarely studied dimensions of the Kabbalah, and other ancient manuscripts which describe realities beyond the known, including the 7 underworlds and their spirit gatekeepers. One of the foundations for the Kabbalah is the Zohar, an early medieval set of books that compiled ancient wisdom and mystery teachings. The word Kabbalah means "receiving," he noted. "Mystery wisdom is something that you do not seek...but comes to you when you are open to receive," instead of having a closed mind filled with previous patterns of thought, he explained.
In the Kabbalah tradition, one can do a shamanic journey to the 7 underworlds, realms within the Earth that can be visited while in a spiritual state, and which serve to reveal aspects of the self. Each realm has a gatekeeper that requires the visitor to surrender different attributes of themselves if they want to enter. The lowest underworld has an absence of light, another has two-headed creatures; the fourth level has beings of wizardry that share information about maneuvering the physical world with physical energy, he outlined. According to the tradition, upon arriving at the end of the 7th underworld, you reach the gate of the 7th heaven, which joins the underworld in a circular fashion.
There are good spirits, and bad spirits, Winkler reported. The problem is that when people dabble unknowingly in the occult they can open a portal in which these spirits can come through. Sometimes people can get possessed by spirits of the deceased, who have trouble making the transition to Other Side. A Rabbi could then conduct an exorcism that would serve as a healing ritual for both parties and help the spirit to cross over, he said. Regarding hauntings, he noted that abandoned places can become a magnet for darker spirit entities. Winkler also pointed out some interesting similarities between Native American spirituality and Kabbalah teachings.
Seeing Angels
First hour guest, author Lorna Byrne talked about her lifelong contact with angels. When she first began to see angels as a young child, they told her to keep it secret, as people wouldn't understand. Angels actually do have wings, she revealed, though she said she doesn't always see this aspect of them. Everyone has a guardian angel, and these angels love to be around us because our souls are a speck of light of God, Byrne shared.

By Tom Stinton
There is no doubt that technology is improving the customer experience, but it is also opening consumers up to increasing security threats and increasing the need for financial institutions to improve their cybersecurity technology. Intelligent Environments has long been calling on the digital banking sector to not only make users more aware of cyberfraud by improving education, but also to make it easier for customers to protect their personal data online. While there has been movement towards more secure data security procedures, there is still much more that needs to be done to ensure consumers are better protected, while still have a quality user experience.
Recently, a story from the USA highlights this disconnect between the user and security perfectly. It was reported that a child accidently ordered a doll house via Amazon Echo by simply asking "Can you … get me a doll house?". It had turned out that her parents had not set-up the optional four-digitsecurity code, spoken aloud to confirm purchases. The story went viral, and in the process highlighted consumers' sometimes casual consideration for personal security, when the story hit the local news. During the broadcast, the anchor signed-off by saying, "I love the little girl saying 'Alexa order me a doll house'". This then caused several other Echo owners' machines to place orders for doll houses as their device were activated by the anchor's off-the-cuff remark.
As much as this story is amusing, the message here is that security features are there for a reason, to stop unwanted purchases and to protect data. However, consumers are still bypassing the features, taking short-cuts, or choosing not to set them up as the processes are often seen to be too cumbersome or onerous.
Our own research shows, specifically in terms of online banking, that consumers feel managing their personal security is too complicated, ultimately leading to unsafe behaviours. Passwords and log-in process seem to be a particularly significant problem.
For many people, it's a user experience issue. The problem of too many passwords and security codes is a reality, with our research indicating 34 per cent of people admit to writing their passwords down to remember them. We are told that best practice states passwords should be long and unique for each different account, with some organisations suggesting changes every 30 days. It's fair to say, the majority of consumers don't follow these guidelines, especially as the average citizen in the UK is registered on over 90 accounts, according to password management company Dashlane. If an average consumer followed these guidelines, they would need 1095 different passwords, or password iterations, every year. It comes as no surprise then, that people are writing passwords down to keep track of which is for online banking, and which is for their magazine subscription.
Concerningly, 21 per cent of consumers admitted to sharing their PINs with colleagues, friends or family members to withdraw money on their behalf, an act which we are warned against regularly. This demonstrates that the issue goes beyond simply better education, which the financial sector is already heavily investing in through banks' individual campaigns, and through joint-activities with third parties such as the Government backed Get Safe Online campaign.
Consumers are aware that there is a need to improve their own data protection habits, with 60 per cent saying they have become more aware of security due to high-profile cyberattacks such as the Three and Tesco hacks of 2016
However, ultimately, banks and other organisations who hold sensitive data need to implement more robust security measures against hacking and cybercrime. This includes making better use of technology such as biometrics, which can be more secure than traditional password and PIN technology, but also more user friendly.
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that will come into force in 2018, will ensure financial institutions pay far more attention to security as the punishments for neglecting data protection are going to be severe. However,increased security cannot be to the detriment of the user experience as users will only find a way around the measures if they are seen to be in anyway cumbersome, as we have seen by the Amazon Echo example.
We know that consumers' natural inclination is to side-step complicated processes wherever possible, so, while there is an increased need for improved cybersecurity technology and process, the financial sector must make a great effort to ensure that it is never to the detriment of a great and seamless user experience.

To choose the best electronic cables, you should consider what application you need the cables for and determine the types of connectors you have. If you are trying to set up different components for a home theater, for example, then you want to be sure to have the proper audio and video cables. On the other hand, if you are putting together a computer, then you need to have certain cables for inside and outside of the tower. You should be sure that any electronic cables you choose are as high quality as possible, and are of a length that is functional and effective for you.
One of the first things that you should consider when it comes to electronic cables is the particular devices you are trying to connect. If, for example, you are setting up a home theater system, then you should look at the different connections you may have. This means you need to look at each device you want to connect and consider the different input and output connections you are working with. There are various types of audio and video connections that can use very different sorts of electronic cables, so you should be specific when you determine what you need.
You should also consider different ways that electronic cables might be used within a single system, especially for more complex setups. Computers, for example, often use a number of cables both internally and externally, and understanding all of these connections can help you choose the right ones. Since many of these electronic cables may be used to pass a charge, as well as different types of signals or data through them, it is important that you use the right ones. Connecting cables that transfer charges to a terminal that is not meant to receive power can potentially damage your equipment or devices.
Any electronic cables you choose should also be high quality and be made from materials that are the best possible. Some cables, for example, may need to be shielded from other signals to ensure you do not have issues with signal loss or distortion, and metal connectors made from gold and similar materials can ensure a higher quality transfer of data. You should also determine the length of cable you need, and choose electronic cables that are appropriate for those lengths. Some audio and video cables, for example, may be available in different thicknesses that should be used for certain lengths, and knowing the amount of cable you need can help you choose the right size.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

NanoDays 2009, the second annual nationwide festival of educational programs about nanoscale science and engineering, kicked off on March 28. Organized by the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network (NISE Net), the festival will continue through April 5 with over 200 science museums, research centers, and universities across the United States taking part.
NanoDays activities are designed to bring university researchers together with science museum educators to create learning experiences for both children and adults to explore the miniscule world of atoms, molecules, and nanoscale forces. Most participating science centers are combining simple hands-on activities for young people with presentations on current research for adults. Several also are hosting forum programs engaging the public in discussions about the benefits and risks of particular applications of nanotechnology.

somewhere over the rainbow
I had so much fun making my ice cream post last week that I decided to make it a regular (until I get sick of it) feature. It's almost like a scavenger hunt, looking around the internet trying to find a bunch of things that fit whatever theme I've set for myself that week -- in this case, rainbows! My favorite is the pastel wicker mirror (no. 16) I have an irrational fear of mirrors at night, so I only buy ones that can be turned against the wall before I go to sleep (I know, I'm crazy!) but maybe I could turn it into a picture frame or something. It's just so cool!

For the past twenty years, BV Coastal Estates has been known for producing quality wines rooted in our California heritage and inspired by our vast yet fragile coastline. We believe that we are all stewards of the environment, and are dedicated to the earth and oceans.
By donating $1 for every bottle sold* to support Oceana's efforts, BV Coastal Estates has made a pledge to help make our oceans more abundant and conserve our oceans for future generations.
Oceans cover 71 percent of the globe, and they are as important to us as they are vast. Our oceans are home to most of the life on our planet and play a central role in the world's natural systems, like regulating our climate and absorbing carbon dioxide. They provide livelihoods to countless fishermen and others around the world. They also feed hundreds of millions of people and have the capacity to provide a healthy seafood meal to a billion people, every day. Unfortunately, the oceans are in trouble - scientists report that the amount of fish caught from the oceans began declining — for the first time in recorded history - just a few decades ago.
Founded in 2001, Oceana is the largest international advocacy organization focused solely on ocean conservation. We seek to make our oceans more biodiverse and abundant by winning policy victories in the countries that govern much of the world's marine life. Our offices around the world work together to win strategic, directed campaigns that achieve measurable outcomes that will help make our oceans more bio diverse and abundant.

Disclaimer time: I pretty much hated the first Amazing Spider-Man. It's one of the most forgettable films that I have seen in recent years, and was only made so that Sony could keep the rights to the character. It was a business move rather than a film made by people who care, and it showed. I went into The Amazing Spider-Man 2 with pretty low expectations, and a good idea of what was going to happen in this film thanks to the spoiler filled advertising campaign.
From the second it starts to the very last frame, this film does an awful lot wrong. It may be the messiest, least restrained film I have seen in a long time - scenes interrupt each other, plot points are started and then dropped, only to be picked up an hour later and never finished, characters come and go and then disappear entirely - and it all ends up feeling illogical, unstructured and dissatisfying. It honestly feels like the film wasn't even really edited - a scene involving a pre-Electro Max Dillon feels like it never should have seen the light of day, and a very out of place evil scientist feels like he walked straight off the set of a bad James Bond porn parody.

I watched 4 free episodes of it and then went on buying subscription. There are few other TV series in there too. Would you recommend it? How good is the show? How does it compare to most of the superhero series on TV currently (like Daredevil etc.)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Review: Fifty Shades of Grey Lubes and Body Care
This is part one of a multi-part review of the Fifty Shades of Grey product line. Obviously, all opinions here are mine and completely subjective. To judge for yourself, visit our store.
The Fifty Shades of Grey books have inspired people to explore their sexual fantasies, and it was a matter of time before a tie-in product line hit the shelves with the release of the movie.
I'm always wary of movie tie-in products, and I never expect much in terms of quality. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by the thought that went into this line. Geared for those who want to explore light bondage, the Fifty Shades product line offers items Christian and Ana used in the books along with a selection of lubricants and body-care products, making it one of the most complete lines I've ever seen. All the toys come with detailed instructions (including diagrams) plus creative ideas for their use.
While there are a few items I don't think are as great at they should be, overall it's a well-rounded product line of beginner-level, quality products.
Lubricants: Most are okay; one is extraordinary.
It's rare that an adult toy line bothers to include lubricants, but let's face it: lube is necessary for some things, and the fact that they include their own rounds out a pretty well-rounded product line. Ready for Anything Aqua Lubricant is a standard water-based lubricant, and while it's not extraordinary, it is safe to use with all toys. (Fair warning to sensitive types: it does contain glycerin and methylparaben, which can cause irritation for some women.)
The first rule of anal sex is use lube, and Fifty Shades provides a thick water-based lube to make anal play easier. Despite the name, At Ease Anal Lubricant doesn't contain any numbing ingredients, only an aqua formula that pairs well with all anal toys. There's nothing amazing in the ingredients list to set it above other anal lube formulas, but it is a good quality, thick lube.
Similar to the hard-to-find Liquid Silk lubricant, Silky Caress Silk Lubricant is the standout of the Fifty Shades lubricants. As a hybrid lube, it's slicker and longer-lasting than a water-based lube, but safe to use with most toys. It's natural feeling and incredibly smooth, and has quickly become one of my new favorites here at Frisky Business.
Body Care: Christian may not smell like this, but he should.
Many websites speculate what Christian Grey smells like. (Google "What does Christian Grey smell like?" I dare you.) According to the Fifty Shades body care line, Christian Grey's signature scent is a combination of sandalwood, bergamot, and musk. All the body products are scented with this combination with varying degrees of intensity. For the most part, the scent is gender neutral-to-masculine and light enough that I didn't feel like I was wearing my partner's cologne.
The first one I smelled is the Sweet Sensation Bath Oil, a light bath oil with hints of musk and sandalwood. It smelled waxy in the bottle, and I didn't like this one at first because I couldn't really detect the fragrance. Once on my skin, the musk fragrance came out, but it was extremely light. Plus, it's an oil and will leave a slippery residue on my tub. If you're not already a fan of bath oils, this may not be the best format to try Christian's signature scent.
A better method is the Sensual Touch Massage Oil. A blend of base oils leave the skin feeling wonderfully silky: sweet almond, safflower, jojoba, and grapeseed oils round out the ingredients list. The sandalwood, bergamot, and musk combo comes across as warm and sensual without being overly masculine. I liked the way my skin smelled and felt with this one.
No body care line is complete without some sort of lotion. Soothe Me After Spanking Cream is a tub of creamy lotion with the Fifty Shades signature scent. There's nothing that makes this specifically an "after spanking" product – it doesn't contain benzocaine or anything to alleviate pain – but the shea butter is a nice balm for dry skin. I've used this cream on my winter-dry hands with lovely results.
Clitoral stimulation gels bring blood to the skin's surface and create a warm, tingly sensation. Come Alive Pleasure Gel for Her uses niacin, ginseng, and yohimbe to get the blood moving south. These ingredients can be less harsh for more sensitive skin types.
I have never seen a toy line offer an associated toy cleaner or latex condoms before, but this one does, making it hands-down the most complete product line I think we've carried here. Lavender and tea tree oil make the Cleansing Sex Toy Cleaner the best-smelling one I've ever tried. The tea tree oil tempers the lavender and creates a clean smell, rather than a floral one. I wasn't able to examine The Foil Packet 12 Premium Latex Lubricated Condoms because they come in a sealed box. I presume they are standard latex condoms like Trojans or other similar brands. Still, a 12-pack for $10 is a good price.
Julia's Top Picks:
Sensual Touch Massage Oil: Of the body care products, the fragrance carried through this one the best.
Silky Caress Silk Lubricant: I can't say enough nice things about this lube. Silky smooth, compatible with most toys, and natural feeling.
Unlike most toy cleaners, the Cleansing Sex Toy Cleaner smells fantastic and makes after-sex toy cleanup less of a chore.

Though fads and styles come and go, oral piercings remain a popular alternative style choice. Lip piercings, tongue piercings and cheek piercings are the most common, but it's safe to say that any spot that can be pierced has been by someone — including under the tongue, inside the lips, and even the uvula! When deciding whether or not to get a piercing, most people consider the appearance, pain level, maintenance and price. However, dentists are speaking out and urging oral piercing enthusiasts to also take their dental health into consideration.
When thinking about oral piercings, dental hygiene might not be at the forefront of everyone's mind, but getting a piercing in or around the mouth can have an impact on oral health. The piercing hardware can damage your teeth, chipping away the enamel or causing your gums to recede. The site of your piercing can also be vulnerable to infection, a cause for serious concern considering the amount of bacteria that exists in your mouth at all times. Finally, piercings can make it more difficult for dentists to perform examinations and give x-rays of your mouth.
Dentists' Advice for Oral Health and Piercings
If the disapproval of your dentist doesn't change your desire to get pierced, there are a few things you can take into account to help maintain good dental health with an oral piercing.
Get Pierced by a Trusted Professional
This goes for any piercing or tattoo, of course, but it's particularly important with oral piercings. Make sure that you choose a piercer with a good reputation who maintains an excellent standard of cleanliness. Our mouths contain millions of bacteria, and infections anywhere in the mouth can lead to larger problems. Especially for tongue piercings, it's crucial that the piercing professional knows how to avoid puncturing a blood vessel, which can lead to prolonged, difficult to control bleeding.
Choose tooth-friendly hardware
Be mindful of your teeth and gums when you're selecting the jewelry that you will wear in your piercing. Barbells made of polymer are much less likely to damage your teeth than metal, so talk to your piercer about getting hardware made of this more gentle material. If metal is your only option (you may need to initially get a standard barbell placed in your piercing and wait until it's healed to change it), be sure that it's high-quality, surgical-grade steel. For tongue piercings, you can also opt for a smaller ball on the bottom of the piercing to avoid injuring the sensitive area below your tongue.
Be Mindful of Your Piercing…and Your Teeth and Gums
After your piercing is done, always be aware of it. Excessively fiddling with the piercing will damage your teeth and trigger gum recession. If it gets snared on your teeth while you're talking or eating, it could tear a hole in the piercing site. You may need to adjust the way you eat and talk to avoid unnecessary contact between the piercing and your teeth and gums.
Of course, the best way to avoid tooth damage from an oral piercing is not to get one! But if you feel that this piercing is necessary for your self-expression, follow these suggestions and take all the precautions that you can.

What's the Jane Austen News this week?
Taking Modern London Back to the Georgian Era
As fans of Jane Austen, and therefore potentially fans of other authors whose stories are set in the early 19th century, you may or may not have had the new TV adaptation of Vanity Fair marked out as required viewing this weekend. Those of us at the Jane Austen News certainly had "Sunday 2nd September, 9pm, ITV1" written firmly in our diaries. If you did see parts 1 and 2 of ITV's latest period drama this week, then you'll already know what a fantastic job Olivia Cooke did as Thackeray's rather flawed heroine Becky Sharp!
However, though Vanity Fair has stellar performances from the likes of Olivia Cooke, Michael Palin and Frances de la Tour in it, it also has incredible attention to detail by way of the settings and costumes. So what did the crew have to do in order to take modern London back in time to the Georgian era? Lots of green screening it would appear!
We hope you enjoyed seeing the transformations as much as we did.
Parts 3-7 of Vanity Fair will air over the coming Sunday evenings at 9pm on ITV1.

Hello everyone!
You guys are awesome I read all of the supportive messages you post to each other (sorry for not contributing much ) and it's such good motivation to keep doing what I'm doing!
So here's my status quo. I started getting serious about my weight loss about 9 weeks ago. I had already been exercising vigorously twice a week but I was really not watching what I ate at all!! And this girl likes to EAT! These are my stats just before I started:
weight- 90 kgs
chest- 107 cm
hips- 121 cm
thigh- 74.7 cm
waist- 97 cm
jeans size- 18
exercise- Kendo, Iaido, Fencing
running distance- umm... About 150m (yikes)
And NOWWWW:
weight- 84 kgs
chest- 101 cm (huh??)
hips- 113.5 cm
thigh- 72 cm
waist- 87 cm
jeans size- 16 (but maybe 14. the 16s are feeling really baggy already)
exercise- Kendo, Iaido, Fencing, Step Into Life- Cardio, Fitball
running distance- 4 km!!!!! (this is really the part I'm most excited about)
I feel fantastic! I can't wait to see my progress over the next couple of months. It's great to be losing fat but it's AMAZING to feel so much healthier. I can't believe I can run now! I can't wait for my first 10K run...somwhere down the line
And thanks for suggesting calorie king!

John F. Kennedy said, "Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other." At Dyn, being the leader in Managed DNS means a relentless pursuit of constant learning at the highest levels – about our customers, their industries, and pushing the envelope of technology itself. This is epitomized in our recent launch of DynECT 5.0, the newest version of our enterprise product.
With DynECT 5.0, we answered the question, "What gives our customers users the absolute best competitive advantage?" We took time to learn from our customers, took a step back and consolidated our most popular features into a simpler, streamlined interface.
Combined with updates to Geo Traffic Management (GeoTM), the flexibility to monitor CNAMEs and boosted notifications, DynECT 5.0 offers unparalleled value in managed DNS.
So how do we make DynECT even better?
We evolve together – Dyn and our customers, from individuals to enterprise organizations who all place their faith in us and their infrastructure in our steady hands.
Our future continues to focus on applied research and innovation on all levels. We dig into the industries of our customers, understanding what is both on and beyond the horizon of the business landscape, and how technology can maximize their competitive advantage. We explore the limitations of both cutting-edge technology and the DNS standard itself, discovering efficiencies to be gained and pushing those limits in the name of performance and stability.
Managed DNS leadership means an endless devotion to learning. There is no better justification for the success of our customers, and there is no better explanation why DynECT 5.0 is merely the latest example of the unrivaled value Dyn continues to provide to the world.
