DJ Intel on the Furious Styles Crew's Anniversary and How He Wanted to Be Obama's Mixmaster on Election Night
There are many perks involved with being a DJ: Complimentary booze, free schwag, the adoration of hundreds at gigs, and (depending on the particular selector or promoter) possibly a nice payday.
Then there are the more unusual bonuses, like the one that DJ Intel got recently at The Monarch Theatre. The Chicago-based selector, who travels to Phoenix annually for the anniversary celebrations put on by the Valley's renowned hip-hop/b-boy collective Furious Styles Crew, was chillaxing backstage at the club with five ladies sporting bikinis.
He'd performed earlier for the kickoff night of FSC's six-day party and got to decorate each of the half-naked beauties with body paint along with Edson "House" Magana and other members of the crew.
Nice work if you can get it. Read the full interview here.

Les Claypool's Duo de Twang and Deer Tick Added to McDowell Mountain Music Festival 2013
Do you hear that? Off in the distance? It's the sound of a bass guitar being slapped. Furiously slapped.
That's kinda what Les Claypool (Primus, Oysterhead, Frog Brigade) does, and I'm betting that's what he'll be doing with his Duo de Twang (Claypol plus MIRV) on Sunday, March 24. The act has been added to the McDowell Mountain Music Festival 2013 lineup, joining previously announced bands The Roots, Balkan Beat Box, Dr. Dog, The Heartless Bastards, and Yonder Mountain String Band at Margret T. Hance Park.
See who else will be playing the McDowell Mountain Music Festival 2013.

Maynard James Keenan: Events and Rituals
The journey known as "Vintage 2012" is almost complete. Not finished, but it's most certainly arriving at a fairly calm station. No more 2 a.m. panic-related insomnia attacks, where I stare at the ceiling going over and over the logistics of a tiny workspace. I'm not about to kid myself; there's still quite a few long days ahead. Just none that involve an adrenaline rush. I've been trying to catch up on a bit of sleep, if there is such a thing. This usually involves a late dinner, a glass of wine, and some commercial-free iTunes downloads.
Check out Maynard's full column.

Minus the Bear's Cory Murchy, "It's Just 12 Years of Plugging Away and Learning"
Seattle math rock-meets-electronic indie band Minus the Bear has been going strong for 12 years now, spending most of its time on the road or in the studio. As a testament to how much the band tours, take a look at how many times we've reviewed the band over the years.
So it's no surprise that Minus the Bear is back in support of its fifth full length album, Infinity Overhead. The band decided to take a back-to-basics approach and worked with producer Matt Bayles, who left the band in 2006 to focus on his producing career.
"I think we all have the same vision as far as wanting to do this for as long as it's making us happy and fun," says bassist Cory Murchy on the band's longevity, "So far so good, we're lucky it's turned into our jobs and we're stoked for that."
We recently caught up with Murchy to discuss working with Matt Bayles, the band's relentless tour schedule, and why Minus the Bear has strayed away from silly song titles. Check out the full interview.

Ask Fan Landers: Should I Stay in the Closet for the Sake of My Rap Career?
Dear Fan,
Since about a year ago I've been the hypeman for an better-known MC. Not famous, but people know us in our region. He's gay, I'm bi. Neither of us are out really and I didn't know he was til we got on tour together. He's older and farther along getting established, he's got mixtapes. I do stuff on my own but people have been knowing me mostly since I joined with him. I know if we both came out people would think we are together and have "the gay MC" or "______'s gay hypeman" or with my name always overshadowed by him. At the same time, I am not about to be telling him not to. What do I do?

Vampire films have been a staple since the era of silent films, so much so that the depiction of vampires in popular culture is strongly based upon their depiction in films throughout the years. The most popular cinematic adaptation of vampire fiction has been from Bram Stoker's Dracula, with over 170 versions to date. Running a distant second are adaptations of Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu. The legend of Elizabeth Báthory, the "Blood Countess" has also been an influence. By 2005, Dracula had been the subject of more films than any other fictional character.
As folklore vampires are defined in their need to feed on blood and on their manipulative nature; a theme held common through the many adaptations.[1] Although vampires are generally associated with the horror and sometimes splatter genre, vampire films may also fall into the drama, action, science fiction, romance, comedy or fantasy genres, among others.
Early cinematic vampires in other such films as The Vampire (1913), directed by Robert G. Vignola, were not undead bloodsucking fiends but 'vamps'. Such femme fatales were inspired by a poem by Rudyard Kipling called "The Vampire", composed in 1897. This poem was written as kind of commentary on a painting of a female vampire by Philip Burne-Jones exhibited in the same year. Lyrics from Kipling's poem: A fool there was . . . , describing a seduced man, were used as the title of the film A Fool There Was (1915) starring Theda Bara as the 'vamp' in question and the poem was used in the publicity for the film.[2]
An authentic supernatural vampire features in the landmark Nosferatu (1922 Germany, directed by F. W. Murnau) starring Max Schreck as the hideous Count Orlok. This was an unlicensed version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, based so closely on the novel that the estate sued and won, with all copies ordered to be destroyed. It would be painstakingly restored in 1994 by a team of European scholars from the five surviving prints that had escaped destruction. The destruction of the vampire, in the closing sequence of the film, by sunlight rather than the traditional stake through the heart proved very influential on later films and became an accepted part of vampire lore.[3]
The next classic treatment of the vampire legend was, an adaptation of the stage play based on Stoker's novel Dracula, Universal's Dracula (1931) starring Béla Lugosi as Count Dracula. Lugosi's performance was so popular that his Hungarian accent and sweeping gestures became characteristics now commonly associated with Dracula.[4] Five years after the release of the film, Universal released Dracula's Daughter (1936), a direct sequel that starts immediately after the end of the first film. A second sequel, Son of Dracula, starring Lon Chaney, Jr. followed in 1943. Despite his apparent death in the 1931 film, the Count returned to life in three more Universal films of the mid-1940s: House of Frankenstein (1944) and House of Dracula (1945)—both starring John Carradine—and Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948). While Lugosi had played a vampire in two other films during the 1930s and 1940s, it was only in this final film that he played Count Dracula on-screen for the second (and last) time.
A transition between the Universal tradition and the later Hammer style is exemplified by the 1957 Mexican film El Vampiro that showed the vampire fangs (Universal did not).
Dracula was reincarnated for a new generation in Hammer Films series, starring Christopher Lee as the Count. In the first of these films Dracula (1958) the spectacular death of the title character through being exposed to the sun, reinforced this part vampire lore, first established in Nosferatu, and made it virtually axiomatic in succeeding films.[3] Lee returned as Dracula in all but two of the seven sequels. A more faithful adaptation of Stoker's novel appeared as Dracula (1992) directed by Francis Ford Coppola though also identifying Count Dracula with the notorious medieval Balkan ruler Vlad the Impaler.[5]
A distinct sub-genre of vampire films, ultimately inspired by Le Fanu's Carmilla explored the topic of the lesbian vampire. Although implied in Dracula's Daughter, the first openly lesbian vampire was in Blood and Roses (1960) by Roger Vadim. More explicit lesbian content was provided in Hammer's Karnstein Trilogy. The first of these, The Vampire Lovers, (1970), starring Ingrid Pitt and Madeline Smith, was a relatively straightforward re-telling of LeFanu's novella, but with more overt violence and sexuality. Later films in this sub-genre such as Vampyres (1974) became even more explicit in their depiction of sex, nudity and violence.
Beginning with My Best Friend Is a Vampire (1988), Innocent Blood (1992), Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992), and Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995), directed by Mel Brooks with Leslie Nielsen.
Another development in some vampire films has been a change from supernatural horror to science fictional explanations of vampirism. The Last Man on Earth (1964, directed by Ubaldo Ragona), The Omega Man (1971 US, directed by Boris Sagal) and two other films were all based on Richard Matheson's novel I Am Legend. They explain the condition as having a natural cause. Vampirism is explained as a kind of virus in David Cronenberg's Rabid (1976) and Red-Blooded American Girl (1990) directed by David Blyth, as well as in the Blade trilogy to a limited extent.
Race has been another theme, as exemplified by the blaxploitation picture Blacula (1972) and its sequel Scream Blacula Scream.
Though always a representation of passion and desire, since the time of Béla Lugosi's Dracula (1931) the vampire, male or female, has usually been portrayed as an alluring sex symbol. Christopher Lee, Delphine Seyrig, Frank Langella, and Lauren Hutton are just a few examples of actors who brought great sex-appeal into their portrayal of the vampire. Latterly the implicit sexual themes of vampire film have become much more overt, culminating in such films as Gayracula (1983) and The Vampire of Budapest, (1995), two pornographic all-male vampire films, and Lust for Dracula (2005), a softcore pornography all-lesbian adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic.
There is, however, a very small sub-genre, pioneered in Murnau's seminal Nosferatu (1922) in which the portrayal of the vampire is similar to the hideous creature of European folklore. Max Schrek's disturbing portrayal of this role in Murnau's film was copied by Klaus Kinski in Werner Herzog's remake Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979). In Shadow of the Vampire (2000). directed by E. Elias Merhige, Willem Dafoe plays Max Schrek, himself, though portrayed here as an actual vampire. Dafoe's character is the ugly, disgusting creature of the original Nosferatu. Stephen King's Salem's Lot (1979), notably depicts vampires as terrifying, simple-minded creatures, without erotism, and with the only desire to feed on the blood of others. This type of vampire is also featured in the film 30 Days of Night.
A major character in most vampire films is the vampire hunter, of which Stoker's Abraham Van Helsing is a prototype. However, killing vampires has changed. Where Van Helsing relied on a stake through the heart, in Vampires 1998, directed by John Carpenter, Jack Crow (James Woods) has a heavily armed squad of vampire hunters, and in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992, directed by Fran Rubel Kuzui), writer Joss Whedon (who created TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer and spin-off Angel) attached The Slayer, Buffy Summers (Kristy Swanson in the film, Sarah Michelle Gellar in the TV series), to a network of Watchers and mystically endowed her with superhuman powers.
By far, the most well-known and popular vampire in the films is Count Dracula. An amazing number of films have been filmed over the years depicting the evil count, some of which are ranked among the greatest depictions of vampires on film. Dracula has over 170 film representations to date making him the most frequently portrayed character in horror films; also he has highest number of film appearances overall followed by Sherlock Holmes.[6][7]

A worker injured while on the job, or while performing tasks or services outside of the workplace but pertinent to the job, is entitled to compensation to cover the loss of wages and benefits to cover medical and rehabilitative treatments. A worker injured while on the job, or while performing tasks or services outside of the workplace but pertinent to the job, is entitled to compensation to cover the loss of wages and benefits to cover medical and rehabilitative treatments.
The list of compensation and benefit categories that may be available to an injured worker and dependents include:
1. Wage loss benefit
2. Specific loss benefit
3. Death benefit
4. Medical treatment, reasonable and necessary
5. Vocational rehabilitation
6. Mileage to/from medical appointments, treatment, and therapy.
Wage Loss Benefit
Michigan law does not differentiate between permanent and temporary disability—all disability is covered under the wage loss benefit in a workers' compensation claim.
A worker is entitled to wage loss benefits if there is a reduction in wage-earning capacity.
Changes in the wage-earning capacity, the amount of compensation received and any supplements to this benefit are very technical, and it is important to have an attorney trained and certified in workers' compensation law representing you in a claim for wage loss benefits.
The attorney representing the insurance company does not represent your interests.
Specific Loss Benefit
A worker is entitled to this benefit when there is a loss of limb or the function of a body part. It should be noted that a worker cannot be compensated for lost wages and for a specific loss simultaneously.
Death Benefit
This benefit is compensation to the workers' dependents, and this benefit is based upon a formula with applied limits and caps to after-tax wages. In addition, under workers' compensation law, the insurance company must pay a set amount for reasonable funeral and burial expenses.
Is Retaining a Workers' Compensation Attorney Important?
A worker injured at the workplace, or while performing tasks and duties pertinent to employment, needs an experienced, certified attorney to guide them through the process of administering the workers' compensation claim.
It is also important for the attorney to care and to take the time to understand the financial and medical situations of the client and of the family. Without this knowledge and support on your side, you are vulnerable to a loss in entitled benefits.
An injured worker needs to retain an attorney with whom the worker trusts, feels comfortable and has the assurance that their interests are being looked after first.
With these assurances in place, you will have the confidence in the advice of what should and should not be done, and in knowing that your rights are protected for the benefit of you and your family.

For the satellite internet service im getting in the FAQ it states this:
Does this mean that if i do host a site on my own pc, that it wont work? Or will it just be slow becasue of the satellite workings, if it will just be slower will it still be faster than dialup?Can I host a Web site on my own computer?
No. The BTopenworld Business Satellite Service is not designed to support Web sites at the your premises. The asymmetric nature of the service and the satellite round trip delays will limit the performance of Web sites hosted at your premises compared with those hosted on BTopenworld's servers. 20MB of Web space on BTopenworld's servers is provided as standard, with logs and statistics available.
Also is this the same for hosting an FTP server.
Thanks alot,

You Win or You Learn
"You win, or you learn". That quote was never more relevant than it was for our U15's boys rugby team after we came out the wrong side of our North Munster Schools Cup Final last Friday in Clanwilliam. There is no point in reminiscing over all the little variables that may, or may not have contributed to the final result. Doing so has never changed the result of any match. What is important to reflect on however, is the standards these boys have brought to rugby in the school.
Our focus over the last few weeks has been on absolute hard work. The message we sold to the boys was that talent never won anything. They now understand that hard work supersedes talent all day long and without it you get nowhere in rugby. The work they put into our first half try took the effort of all 15 players with Leon barging his way over the line, for what was a super score.
When you are 10-5 down at half-time, you are absolutely still in the game. But, when you are camped between their 10 meter and their try line for the entire second half, you always expect to get the return you deserve for your dominance. We just could not get over the line and David came very close at the death. The effort and commitment these boys put into winning that game last Friday was just brilliant to watch. This commitment was epitomised by nobody more than our captain Tadhg who, after getting a bad knock to his leg just before half-time, did all he could to play through the pain barrier, but it was just too much of an ask. He was a huge loss for the second 30. They gave it everything and we could not have asked for anymore. The Villiers jersey was on display and they promoted it with pride.
There is no silverware to display at the end of a good season, but so much was achieved outside of that. Thomas is going to a final Munster Clubs trial this Wednesday in U.L and he has the full support of all his teammates. Tommy is probably our most improved player. Fahad seems to be getting faster and Max's leadership qualities sets him apart from any opposition player he comes up against.
What gives me great hope for the future is that we have one of the best 15yr old rugby players I have seen in years in Eoin. He dislocated his thumb in a rugby match on Wednesday, got it popped back in, strapped it up and just got on with it. 48 hours later he put in an utterly dominant performance and battered everything that came his way in a Clonmel jersey. He is one to watch for the future.
Unfortunately, it was not to be this time, but lessons were learned and reputations were enhanced. There were tears at the end, but that just shows how much they care. There is no shame in not winning a cup final in that manner. These boys will have some great days in rugby. Last Friday was not one of them, but down the line, they will reflect on that match and understand that they gained so much from this performance.
We have already set a target for next season. This team is going to put everything into qualifying for the Munster 'A' Schools Junior Cup. Last October we just came up short against the schools rugby superpower in Presentation Brothers Cork. There was only 4 points in it at the end of that game. If we qualify for the Junior Cup next year, then we might just get an opportunity to make up for that game.
Richie Mc'Caw is the greatest rugby player to have ever played the game and he famously said, "I don't believe in luck. I believe in hard work". These boys have that in bucket loads.

Surfing on that metaphysical edge the audience can leave behind the mundane in order to indulge in a few hours of relentless and intense absorption
and escapism. But getting people there is getting harder and harder all the time as the competition is intensifying and the fresh, new ideas less so. To simply make a "normal" mix cd was never an option for Out of Orbit. They knew they had to make something special for our new and old listeners with our first cd release.
Using cutting edge technology and displaying in what direction the future of mixing might take; Triple-O wants to present "Restructured Layers". A megamix of our musical catalogue, for all you people out there who have been looking for a way to their our music in a comfortable way without getting into vinyl. Perfectly Geared to fit in between both a sweaty club experience and a nice home listening session, hopefully this cd brings out the best of both worlds. Mastermixed by labelboss Martinez this cd is an extension of his acclaimed dj gigs, bringing you a mix experience of absolute world-class. And for the real Triple-O heads out there who already own most of our releases, this cd will not make you disappointed since this mix was created equally with you in mind as well! With all our releases cut up into loops and pieces, Martinez have woven a beautiful and intricate carpet of sounds, putting two and two together in order to create something bigger and more beautiful than its mere parts.
Blending parts and pieces from the orbit catalogue Martinez have managed to do what most djs aspire to do, create something artistically new through the way he blends the back catalogue. Pure Alchemy in other words! When does the mixing start and the mixing end? Another impossible question in this case as the full cd is a constant mix throughout the full 76 minutes. I'm not even sure if there are any parts where the music is allowed to play by itself. Blending pieces of up to 7 or 8 different tracks at the same time, we are sure you've never heard anything exactly like this although Richie Hawtins DE9 record would be the closest in terms of mixing technology.

The Oldest Traditional Greek Cafe, in Pelio
Traditional Greek cafes, mainly found in the small villages of Greece' s mainland, are a meeting place for local people. You rarely see women in these cafes though, unless they are visitors. Men meet up, drink their coffees or ouzo and tsipouro, eat mezes, play cards games, talk and argue about politics and football while smoking and laughing.
In the village of Lafkos, in Pelio there is the oldest traditional Greek cafe in Greece, Forlida's Cafe. It was established in 1785. On the woodstove placed in the middle of the room, chestnuts are roasted during the cold winter months for the locals and the visitors.

4 Satisfactions Only Pregnant Women Understand
Many pregnant women, especially those who have already had one or more children, understand that oftentimes, being uncomfortable is just part of the experience. With so many changes taking place within a woman's body, it's not surprising when feelings of tension, strain or discomfort come up.
At the same time, when you find the solution – the perfect thing that's just what your body needs – there is no better feeling in the world. Let's take a look at a few feelings of satisfaction that only make sense to pregnant women:
1) Sitting down
Sure, people who stand for long periods during their job may enjoy a good plop down in their favorite chair after a long shift. But for a pregnant woman, few things can compare to sitting down, removing her shoes and just relaxing for a spell.
As the American Pregnancy Association pointed out, pregnancy causes the body to produce as much as 50 percent more blood and body fluids to help the developing baby grow and progress. This leads to swelling called edema, which particularly affects the feet and lower extremities from about the five-month mark and into the third trimester.
Activities like standing for long periods of time, consuming high levels of caffeine or not including enough potassium in your diet can all impact swelling. When you're finally able to sit down – even if you've only been standing or walking for a short period of time – being able to kick off your shoes and put your feet up can make you feel like a queen.
2) Removing tight clothing
Many women today wear some type of shape wear, particularly underneath formal dresses and outfits. During pregnancy, however, most women bid these garments goodbye. It is interesting to note, though, that even when clothing isn't as tight as traditional shape wear, it can still have an effect on pregnant women.
Here's another satisfaction only women in this position understand: removing a tight piece of clothing in favor of something looser and more flowy. Whether this includes a form-fitting top, a snug pair of pants or undergarments, there's just something about taking these items off and donning something more comfortable.
Several sources, including the California Pacific Medical Center's Women & Infants Center, have found that tight clothing – especially garments that are close-fitting around the waist – can lead to heartburn in pregnant women.
"The fullness in the abdomen from the growing uterus, amniotic sac and baby can put pressure on the stomach and force the contents back up the chest," Livestrong contributor Sarah Harding writes. "The pressure from tight clothing can push on the stomach and force the contents upwards, creating heartburn."
"Pregnancy causes the body to produce as much as 50 percent more body fluids."
Pregnancy comes with a change in wardrobe, and selecting looser-fitting items is a key to comfort.
3) Going to the bathroom
It's no secret that pregnant women often have to visit the ladies' room far more often than they did before they were with child. Another satisfaction that pregnant women understand comes during these personal moments.
A common, but little-talked about discomfort that affects pregnant women is constipation and associated abdominal pain, noted the American Pregnancy Association. Pregnant women should be sure to drink plenty of water during the day, and it's best to consult with your health care provider before adding anything new to your diet.
4) Satisfying food cravings
Pregnancy and food cravings go together like biscuits and gravy, and we're not here to argue with that. When you simply must have fried pickles – or something weirder like barbeque sauce on your PB&J – there's nothing more satisfying than eating exactly what you've been craving.
Andrei Rebarber, associate director of NYU Medical Center's division of maternal-fetal medicine, noted that while there are multiple theories behind pregnancy food cravings, a mom-to-be's need for certain foods could be connected to nutrients that her current diet is lacking.
"It's not that the body actually needs the specific food you are craving, but it may need something in that food," Rebarber explained. "And your taste buds just interpret it as a craving for something specific."
So, the next time your significant other complains about being sent on a peanut butter run at 2 a.m., remind your sweetheart that you need these nutrients to curb your cravings.

For those who suffer from skin tags know and understand this aesthetically unpleasing condition. In most of the cases, skin tags do not pose any health threat and are usually painless. It is, however, not pleasing to the eyes. Moreover, in some cases, skin tags are painful, should they become infected. Very few individuals don't mind carrying skin tags on their skin, but most of them hate these tags and want to get rid of them immediately and painlessly. Thankfully, products like TagBand, play a vital role in helping these individuals eliminate skin tags without causing any discomforts. It is in fact a highly effective treatment for removing skin tags.
What Is TagBand?
Skin tags are small skin growths that can be formed anywhere on the skin, from neck to eyelids, underarm to private genitals, literally anywhere. TagBand skin tag removal kit aids in removing these skin tags. It claims to remove these tags within a week. What's more, it also claims that once these tags are removed, they will never come back.
The TagBand kit is designed in a way that its consumers can use it easily, without putting any hard efforts. Besides, it works on all sizes and forms of skin tags.
The kit includes:
- Mircro TagBand cone
- Micro TagBand remover device
- 10 Micro TagBand bands
- 10 Micro TagBand swabs
This particular kit helps in stopping blood flow, aiding the removal process to speed up.
How Does It Work?
The good news is, the TagBand is an easy-to-use tool. The kit comes with an easy-to-comprehend instruction manual that helps in making the application much easier. All you need to do is place the band around the skin tag in order to stop the blood supply, which eventually will kill the skin tag as it cannot and will not survive without a flow of oxygenated blood.
While following its application, make sure that you choose the right sized product suitable for your skin tag.
Step 1: Ensure that you, first and foremost, cleanse the area with the help of a swab. The kit contains a few cleansing swabs that will help you in cleaning the area. Cleaning the area helps in reducing the likelihood of developing any infections.
Step 2: Now push one of the bands on top of the cone. It is important to have the band remain in the top 1/5th section of the cone until one is ready for the application.
Step 3: Place the cone over the skin tag. Remember, it should be pressed down well enough till it levels with the rest of the surrounding skin.
Step 4: Gently push the bottom of the remover until the band pops off the cone. After it comes off, the band should be securely around the skin tag.
Step 5: The band should invariably remain in place until the skin tag naturally falls off. Your skin tag will look darker before falling off.
Since TagBand helps in removing skin tags for good, your skin tag won't grow back once it falls off. Unlike other treatments that take months to show positive results, TagBand is a fast and effective treatment for treating skin tags. Generally speaking, TagBand produces results in only a week's time. Moreover, TagBand removes skin tags permanently, which means these skin tags once removed won't come back.
Pros & Cons
- Faster and permanent results
- Removes almost all sized and forms of skin tags
- A simple, painless, and easy treatment
- No chemicals used
- Can be purchased online
- Value for money product
- 60 days money back guarantee
- Super-fast delivery
- Excellent customer services
- Sometimes, may cause some irritation on the skin
- May not be very effective in removing really small skin tags
Final Verdict!
If you read online, TagBand is a pretty infamous product. There are many sufferers who stand by the claims of TagBand and show confidence in its ability to produce remarkable results. On Amazon itself, TagBand has received an average rating of 3.9/5 stars. Although most of the users have left positive testimonials in favour of the product, there have been a few complaints too against this product. People have shown a bit of a disappointment in removing tiny skin tags while using this product. Some of them believe that TagBand is not meant for removing small skin tags. But in such cases, one can always choose the micro band!
Regardless, most of the folks support the claims of TagBand and are willing to recommend it to other users. Besides, not only is TagBand effective in removing skin tags, but it is also affordable and reasonably priced. Going to a doctor to get the skin tags removed can cost you an arm and a leg; however, by using TagBand, you are sure to see effective results without hurting your pockets.
All in all, the positives of TagBand certainly outweighs its negatives. It is indeed one of the best, painless, and the easiest treatments to remove skin tags effectively. Tons of people believe in this product and say that it takes only a week to remove the skin tag.
In other words, if you are suffering from skin tags, then TagBand should be your best bet. We give a positive review to TagBand. It is indeed one of the best products that we have in market so far for removing skin tags, unless you want to go for natural remedies for skin tags.

Unexpected result
Reviewed: 8 January 2020 by Man but not Superman
I come at this review from a slightly different angle to most people as radiation therapy on my prostate pretty much wrecked anything reproductive. I can get an erection but it takes a while and doesn't always result in a climax, so I bought this plus some Lovehoney 'enjoy' more in hope than expectation.
When it arrived I was surprised at how bulky it was.
I lubed the TENGA then closed and clipped it over my flaccid penis. After a short while, I was astonished to find that I had an erection! Nothing further developed that time but it was an encouraging start and over the course of the next few days I refined my 'technique' and finally I went from flaccid to climax in one session. Result!
I'm now looking forward to regular usage. It may be imagination but my penis now seems more willing to erect even without the TENGA, however, it's early days yet for anything definite on that.
- Pros
- Very effective and certainly worked for me.
- Cons
- Bit heavy and bulky, quite expensive.
- Bottom line
- Great product. Would recommend it.

Sensations everywhere
Reviewed: 9 September 2019 by Sir jerkalot, a Straight Single Male
Great toy that makes you feel sensations absolutely everywhere.
Three buttons to increase and change where the sensations are felt. The suction on this is incredible and it will take you to orgasm in no time.
One of the best bits is that it is easy to clean. Just slide the lid off, open up and wash.
The reviews really do not lie, and it is worth paying the extra for this compared to cheaper toys.
- Pros
- Everything, especially that it's easy to clean.
- Cons
- Nothing.

- Makes you shhhhhhhake.

Test your stamina
Reviewed: 5 September 2019 by FunnyMonkey
The Flip Hole is one of those strokers which is worth every penny. I got it for a period when my girlfriend was away for work and a year or two on I'm still really happy with it.
It has different textures on each side, so rotating it changes the sensations. The three buttons completely change the feeling, with the middle one acting to create suction and the others creating a tight opening or additional head stimulation. Regular use massively improved my stamina - if you can last in this you can last in anything!
The solid casing means that you can wedge the Flip Hole in handy furniture or between cushions to simulate sex with a partner and leave your hands free.
I found that if you warmed up the product (just use hot water) before use and applied lube it was as good as the real thing. That said, it does tend to overstimulate me after orgasm due to the sheer number of textured bits.
Once you do cum I've found it doesn't leak any fluid, making it easy to take to the bathroom to clean under running water. The only challenge I've found is that ideally this toy needs to air dry for a few hours, so having guests over in a small house requires planning,
The toy doesn't require a lot of (any?) maintenance, the use of powder (like a Fleshlight) to keep the texture, it is non-threatening in appearance (at the time my girlfriend wasn't a fan of life-like strokers) and honestly doesn't scream sex toy should it be found.
It gives me amazing orgasms and my wife is more than happy to incorporate it during play due to the effect it has on me!
- Pros
- It feels phenomenal!
- Cons
- Slow to dry.
- Bottom line
- If you want amazing orgasms with easy cleanup, buy this!

With a coppery color indicative of a traditional IPA, Upslope India Pale Ale has a complex malty character and is more well-balanced than most IPAs, but still offers that bitterness that IPA lovers seek. Complex malty character meets the bitter side.

Ferg, from far Britol writes Meathaus:
Hopes ya enjoy these comics all tha way from Britol-Blighty
–Ferg @comicstomp CHEERS."
Thanks for these comics zines MAVERICK #1 and HYPER GALACTIC ROCKSTAR CHAMPION 2nd Edition, Ferg, and this patch, drawing and letter. Hyper Galactic Rockstar Champion is written and illustrated by Joe W. Price and Ferg with cover art by Dessy Baeva and is about a battle of the bands show broadcasting from Sky Mountain Arena complete with commercials for Spider Island and Elecan, the can full of as many elephants as you need. I was rooting for Hugo le Fat's "smog of bum notes" but he ended up "ignited in a blaze of his own foul stench" by Modus Operandi's incomprehensible shredding lightning bolt. Maverick takes you on an attempted prison break from the Bottle Bank where you are lucky if you are not harvested for jam. See more Ferg and friends over on ComicStomp.

Three Pleasant Hikes
This page discusses three favorite Alaska hikes among the many I have made over the past few years.
Mountain above Olga Bay, Kodiak Island,
looking Northwest.
Overlooking Onion Bay, Raspberry Island.
Note my boat at anchor, center.
Peak at Granite Bay, Prince William Sound,
looking West toward Port Wells.
Note my boat at anchor, lower left.
Peak at Granite Bay, Prince William Sound,
looking Southeast across Esther Lake.
Montain above Olga Bay, Kodiak Island.
Entering Olga Bay is an interesting nautical challenge because of strong currents in the entrance, an issue I discuss
Once inside, I anchor in front of an abandoned cannery at about 57° 9.449' North, 154° 13.419' West, and row ashore. At that point, I make my way to a place where there isn't much brush near shore. Brush-busting is one of my least favorite things, for a list of reasons, not least of which is that the local bears spend most of their time in the brush, and wading through thick brush virtually guarantees some close bear encounters.
I avoid the worst brush by walking along the shore of the bay from the anchorage, roughly southeast for perhaps a mile, watching for an opening in the brush up to the slopes of a mountain located northeast of the beach. From that opening the hike is relatively clear and steep, rising to a peak at an altitude of 2,250 feet, just high enough to afford a beautiful view of southern Kodiak Island, a verdant, treeless region as far as the eye can see (photo at right).
This season I saw another of my bear misconceptions shattered. I had assumed that bears wouldn't bother to ascend to the highest terrain, preferring the brushy zone near the water, where there is plenty to eat. But on this climb I saw bear sign all the way to the top of the mountain. I also saw some digging sites along the bear trails, which makes me think there is some kind of root the bears like, and for which they are willing to climb mountains. This assumes that bears don't climb mountains just for the hell of it, as I do. But I'm just guessing, I'm certainly no bear expert.
Even though I avoid the brush to the degree that is practical, I meet bears here anyway, usually while walking on the beach. There are several other seemingly feasible hikes in Olga Bay that I plan to explore in future visits.
Ridge north of Onion Bay, Raspberry Island.
Onion Bay is a relatively small bay on the south side of Raspberry Island, located on the west side of Kodiak Iskand. On the northwest part of the bay is an open path through the brush (visible to the right on the photo on this page) to gain access to an east-west ridge lying north of the bay. On the east end of this ridge are a few rather tall peaks with nice views.
The ascent point for the relatively open path up through the brush is located on shore at 58° 5.235' North, 153° 16.749' West. I basically row ashore, walk along the beach to the ascent point, then climb north, then northeast, as I ascend the ridge. The ridge is much easier to walk along than it appears from a distance.
In 2005 I decided to drop straight down from where the photo was taken, reasoning that I could see and avoid the brush more easily from above and reducing the distance, but in doing so I encountered a bear, so I resumed the rather roundabout path to the original ascent point. I never, ever assume bears are going to make way for me. I always make way for them.
Mountain above Granite Bay, off Port Wells, northwest Prince William Sound.
This is my favorite hike in PWS. When I first visited PWS I noticed a rocky-top mountain above Granite Bay, realized it would be easy walking and offer nice, open views from the top, so I resolved to find a way up to the high, rocky country from the brushy shore.
Over a period of years I've tried various routes, most of them terrible, until I finally realized the most efficient, least brushy approach was from the southwest. I now row ashore at roughly 60° 52.45' North, 148° 5.83' West, make my way through some rather thick shore brush, opening onto some open muskeg meadows surrounding small lakes. I make my way NE to a relatively clear ramp that ascends to a higher ridge. The ridge then ascends SE to a peak located at 60° 52.15' North, 148° 3.51' West, 1690 feet high, affording pretty views in several directions.
The reader will notice that, apart from my boat, these bays are empty. If you get the impression that I had these hikes and anchorages to myself, you are right. People just don't visit these places in any great numbers, regardless of how gorgeous the weather is. I sometimes share an anchorage with a local fisherman, but while hiking on the land I have never encountered another human being (only bears). On these hikes I've found some trails worth following, but over time I realized they were made by animals, not people.
Why are these places empty? Well, several reasons. Alaska doesn't have a very large population and is remote from the larger population centers of the lower 48. Getting to a particular location in Alaska, to photograph bears or go hiking, means having a boat or an airplane and plenty of free time. I have to take my boat across the Gulf of Alaska each season to get to these places, that trip isn't for everyone, it is also a passage not suitable for the average recreational boat. And there are conflicting requirements as well — crossing the Gulf of Alaska suggests a large boat, while visiting some of the smaller anchorages I describe here suggests a small boat. My 37 foot Nordic Tug is a reasonable compromise.
Besides, who wants to travel a distance of 3,000 miles at 10 miles per hour, in order to wade through bear-infested brush, just to sit on a mountaintop in the middle of a treeless landscape? At the moment I can only think of one person who wants to do that.

Candy Grab
Last night, we were fortunate to be invited to attend the Admirals game by our friends at the Westown Association. As part of the Halloween weekend festivities, they held a candy grab for a bunch of the kids in attendance who were in costume. In under a minute, the kids managed to clear a fairly large pile of candy pff the carpet, and head back to their seats with their spoils.

Halloween Decor
A few blocks over from our house, some neighbors have gone all out decorating their house and yard for Halloween. Ghost, goblins, and grave markers dot the landscape, and the whole scene is lit to enhance the mood. It will be interesting to see how many kids avoid the house tomorrow while trick-or-treating.

Speedy Cheese
The Brewers have the Racing Sausages, and the Admirals have the Merkt's Cheese Spread race. The cheeses (Port Wine, Beer Cheese, Sharp Cheddar, and Almond Swiss) lace on their skates and race two laps around the rink. Contact is apparently encouraged, and it can be an all-out battle at times.

Some people call pigeons "rats with wings". I can't really argue too much, I guess. This one, sunning itself on a bridge, has great coloring and patterns in its plumage. You won't see that on a rat.

Another fan favorite at the Admirals game is watching the youth hockey players come out to show off their skills in front of the crowd. Last night, the kids from the SHAW Timberwolves were waiting at center ice for a coach to show up with a puck so they could begin to play.

Human Hockey Puck
Tonight was the Admirals home opener at the Bradley Center, and the home team won 3-2 in overtime. It was great to see hockey back in town for the season, and part of going to the game is enjoying the entertainment between periods. One activity is known as the "Human Hockey Puck", and involves using a giant slingshot to propel 3 lucky contestants down the ice in a plastic snow saucer. The winner is usually the one that knocks the most large inflatable pins down, but style points certainly figure into the fans' determination of the victor. In today's photo, we see the winner of tonight's competition displaying excellent skill and form.

I've shown a photo of the roof at the Mitchell Park domes before, but this is the first showing the top of the dome where the mechanicals are kept. The ventilation and lighting equipment looks like the center of a flower, and the arcs of the dome reaching out from the center almost look like the petals extending in a radial pattern. Kind of neat for a botanical building, hey?

Many of the parkways that meander throughout the county follow the paths of small rivers that wind their way through mostly residential areas. The sometimes expansive boulevards have trees that have matured to the point where they get as large as this maple, and the display of color in the fall makes for a great opportunity to drive, bike, or hike these roads.

Mercado Fresco
We've been wanting to get to El Fuego restaurant for a while now, and finally got the chance this afternoon. It's a large restaurant, but it's broken up into a number of different rooms and spaces to avoid feeling too large. The food was good, the prices more than reasonable, and the service was great. We'll definitely be back. If you're in the vicinity of the airport, stop by and check it out!

I've featured Wolski's Tavern before, but this is the first time that their famous bumper sticker has made the daily photo. Seen around the world, this simple statement has become the catchphrase of a Milwaukee icon. You can get one, but you have to be in the bar at closing time.

Haggerty Hall
Haggerty Hall is located on the campus of Marquette University, and is one of the buildings in the College of Engineering, as evidenced by this crest above a doorway. This entrance is off a courtyard on the south side of the building, and cannot be seen from the street. If you're in the area, take some time to stroll around campus and look at the great buildings they have there.

Ducks on the Pond
Caught these two out on the pond in Jackson Park. The weather's been nice when the sun is out, and not so much when it's cloudy and breezy. We finally turned the heat on today in anticipation of the cooler temps expected this weekend. Hopefully it stays nice enough to get some much-needed yardwork done in anticipation of the winter ahead.

Blown Down
Almost exactly one year ago, I published this photo of the giant pumpkin that serves as a Halloween store near our house. Last night, the high winds in the area tore the canopy open and caused the store to deflate on itself, causing a bit of a mess. I took this photo this morning on my way to work. The owners had a backup canopy in storage, and as of this evening the roof is back up. I suspect that they'll be cleaning up for a couple days, as the owner has stated that they hope to be back open this weekend.

The Captain
I suppose that if I'm going to show you Pabst photos, I had better include one of the Captain. Frederick Pabst was a captain of a steamship on Lake Michigan when he met Jacob Best and his daughter. Long story short, Pabst married into the Best family, began to work in the family brewing business, and eventually grew Pabst into the largest brewer in the world. This statue of him is on display at Best Place.

Due to some technical difficulties (my laptop is current DOA on my desk, and I don't know when or how I'm going to get the data off of it), MKEDP may experience some minor interruptions over the next few days. Wish me luck!!
Today's photo is a shot from last year, so I don't know if the sculpture above is still in its place or not. Between 3rd Street and the River at the intersection of Juneau Avenue, there was a display of sculptures. This one was credited to Aaron Bezalel... doing a little research on Google, it looks like it may be by Aharon Bezalel.
