I don't know too much about SE Linux, but what keeps someone who has root from dropping their own ld-linux.so.2 in there? I assume that SE Linux has some higherlevel traps than just root and not-root. What keeps them from doing: ./myld.so /bin/program-to-exploit though? Is /lib/ld-linux.so.2 given some filesystem based attributes that gives it higher capabilities than some copied ld.so? -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/

A Big Boost for Big Data at UChicago
Last week Margot and Tom Pritzker, chairman and CEO of The Pritzker Organization, hosted a gathering of local corporate leaders and University of Chicago researchers to boost awareness of big-data biomedical research and to discuss how this work could become a regional economic engine. Two substantial gifts from Karen and Jim Frank, president and CEO of Wheels Inc., and Carole and Gordon Segal, the founders of Crate & Barrel, were also announced at the dinner.
The gifts will fund two related projects that are central to a much larger plan at the University that includes multiple data-driven discovery programs to improve health and medical care. The first project is a new Institute for Computational Biology and Medicine that will bring together experts from many aspects of biology who are devoted to data-intensive biomedical discovery. Researchers in the institute will strive to invent new methods of extracting biomedical information from large, varied data sets. These data sources will allow them to generate fresh hypotheses about health and disease, the evolution of biological form and function, and the intricate relationship of organisms to each other and their environment. The second, more tightly focused project will use genomic and physiological data to improve care for patients with pancreatic cancer.
To learn more about these big data initiatives, see John Easton's story in our Newsroom, and read Melissa Harris' report from the Pritzker event in the Chicago Tribune. And be sure to check out a photo set from the event on our Facebook page.

The opinions expressed herein are my own personal opinions and do not represent
my employer's view in any way.
Today is my "official rant day" so I had to post this. The Parameter class was something introduced with the new data binding infrastructure for ASP.NET 2.0. There are some classes that derive from the Parameter class like ControlParameter, CookieParameter, SessionParameter, etc. providing the developer with a good set of parameters to play with. Also, you can derive from the Parameter class in order to create your own parameters. Everything looks cool and extensible. What is the problem? Imagine you create a new class, MyParameter, that inherits from the Parameter class. Probably, you will want to use that parameter in other places, probably in a ParameterCollection. However, if you go to the designer and try to add a parameter to a parameter collection you won't see your parameter, only the predefined parameter types. You can expect that, as you haven't code anything for design time, but you hope that it will be easy to extend the default parameter editor to support your parameter.
The surprise come when you try to extend the default parameter collection editor. The ParameterCollectionEditor delegates all the functionality to the ParameterEditorCollectionForm class, an internal class. The ParameterEditorCollectionForm uses the ParameterEditorUserControl class (this is a public class) to edit a parameter.
The ParameterEditorUserControl contains a UserControl for each type of parameter it supports. The method InitializeParameterEditors and CreateParameterList are private, so you can't extend it in any way. When you change the type of parameter you are editing using the combo box, the SetActiveEditParameterItem method gets called to set the proper editor for the current parameter. This method contains some if else statements to select the proper editor based on the current parameter. Of course, the SetActiveEditParameterItem method is private too, so there is no way to extend the parameter editor in design time.
So, as you have seen, just to add design time support to another parameter you have to rewrite a lot of classes. With just a few tweaks to the existing classes, you would only need to override a couple of methods to point to your editor for the new parameter class you have created. If a class is a clear candidate to extending like the Parameter class, the design time related classes also have to be extensible. It is so frustrating to see this in several places...
It would be cool to have several ASP.NET team members to study how to redesign their code in order to make it truly extensible.

Last week, the United Nations wrapped up its first-ever Ocean Conference with a global call to action. From plastics to overfishing, nations pledged to do their part to deliver a global goal to protect life under water — one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals that went into effect last year. Cities were not mentioned in the ocean manifesto. That's despite the fact that nearly 40 percent of the world's population lives within 100 km of a coastline — and the majority of those people live in urban areas.

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo was once a labour inspector and upon taking office in 2014, insisted housing was her "absolute priority". But it's another issue — climate change — that has since become her signature. From instituting popular car-free days to hosting over a thousand local leaders during a major United Nations climate conference, the Spanish-born Hidalgo, who became a French citizen as a teenager, has become one of the world's de facto leaders on climate issues. That's thanks in no small part to the international accord that bears her city's name, the Paris Agreement on climate change... Read more

From traffic flows to housing figures, researchers, advocacy groups and city leadership are collecting growing amounts of urban data to better understand the ways in which cities do and don't work. Making hard data useful and communicating it in a way that makes sense to policymakers and their constituents, however, is a skill in itself. And that skill is a speciality of Jon Schwabish, a senior fellow at Washington-based Urban Institute. Through his work at the institute and his website PolicyViz, Schwabish trains city officials and others in how to better analyze, present and visualize their... Read more

Six months have passed since 167 countries adopted the 20-year urbanization strategy known as the New Urban Agenda at last year's United Nations Habitat III summit in Quito, Ecuador. That the world made it to that milestone is due in no small part to the efforts of Joan Clos, executive director of UN-Habitat, the U. N.'s lead agency on urban issues. The indefatigable former mayor of Barcelona traveled to over 40 countries on the road to Habitat III, drumming up interest and support from heads of state, housing ministers, big-city mayors and civil society activists. Since the summit, Clos has... Read more

In low-income neighborhoods, even the best-designed parks and community centers go to waste if no one uses them. The nonprofit Kounkuey Design Initiative is taking that challenge head-on. The late urbanist William H. Whyte famously observed the designs that ruin public spaces, from excluding places to sit and gather to creating dead zones. But even the best-designed public spaces can be a waste if no one uses them. This is especially true in low-income communities. "A pitfall is thinking that design can solve all the problems," says Chelina Odbert, the cofounder of the nonprofit Kounkuey... Read more

DUBAI — Dubai is taking data seriously, having embraced the value of urban data in particular as a strategy to maintain a competitive edge in the global city arena. It's investing in its "smart city" capacities, having launched 121 such services and more than 1,100 initiatives over the past three years. That has saved the government more than USD 1 billion dollars, according to government figures. Dubai was also among the first cities to adopt a global standard for measuring urban performance, and has since embedded that into its city reporting framework. It was one of the first to be...

Group question: Who are the entities that speak through our instruments that allows them to come in the name of Jesus the Christ? What is the nature of their makeup that allows them to do this?
(Carla channeling)
I am Q'uo. We greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. It is a rare privilege for us to be called to a group so finely tuned as yours is this evening. We are delighted at the opportunity to share our thoughts with you, insofar as your language can be used to compass the concepts which we would offer concerning our identity. We continue to work in adjusting this instrument to a deeper level of meditation, so that, while conscious, the instrument may be more purely aware of the nuances of each concept which we offer. We find this to be in the case of this instrument, very nearly as satisfactory as the trance sleeping state, in that the instrument's mind and vocabulary are capacious.
We have been waiting for this opportunity to speak upon our identity for some time, as this instrument would say. We even gave our group a name which compassed the query which to this instrument is crucial, that is, that as this instrument has noted with its intellectual mind previously, our name in the language you call Latin would mean literally, "Who?"
You wish to know why we of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator can pass the challenge of the Christ and can say to you, "Jesus is Lord." You wish to know what relationship we have to Christ. That which we have to say is both that which is desired and that which is not. Yet our nature is such that it is bound to disappoint each, that is, the intellectual and the faithful.
We shall begin with our identity as manifestations. We are citizens of various planetary groups which have attained thought communication and are therefore able to communicate without the language barrier. This ability to share concepts is fundamental to the Confederation. In the terms of your illusion, we live, have our various physical vehicles, and remain at this stage of our growth, individualized, but aware and harmonized with those within the group especially, and by careful extension, all those of the Confederation.
Each of us has our own areas of specialization. Some wish to speak to introductory students, some the intermediate, some the advanced, and some, those of any level in a certain area of inquiry, such as healing. We are those which seek out the more experienced or pure … We must pause.
I am Q'uo, and greet you again in love and light. We must return this instrument to its former depth of contact. If you will be patient, we shall pause again.
I am Q'uo, and greet you again in love and in light. We are those which seek the purer or more experienced channel with the aim of producing philosophically based inspirational material. The contact with this group has been rewarding for us, and we rejoice in the love of the one infinite Creator, which binds each to the Creator and to one another. This is our manifestation. It is, like all manifestations, a mask and an illusion, real, in a manner of speaking, but of a limited duration. Such is the nature of manifestation. By its very nature it calls to infinity.
Upon another level, we address the query concerning our relationship to Christ. Our faith differs somewhat from this instrument's, which is not surprising, considering that our experience is somewhat better realized within our manifestation. Nevertheless, when any seeking entity discovers compassion, that is to say, unconditional love, that entity has discovered and defined Christ.
We come from a race which worships the Christ in a somewhat different way, having, however, the understanding, if we may use that term, that the agent of redemption, be it the Christ principle or such an one as Jesus the Christ, is indeed Lord and one with the Father and Creator, Mother and Nurturer of all that that there is. We do not mean to demean this instrument's religion, but to say that a Christ is a Christ, that is to say, that "Jesus is Lord," is to say the obvious, for within the universe of this instrument, we are identical to that which is termed the Holy Spirit. This conjures up images of angels' harps and clouds. These scenes occur only within your thought worlds, and are created by your thoughts, not those of the one infinite Creator.
We are those who worship the Creator, and seek to serve the Creator, thus we move as close to infinity in our purity as we are able, and offer to those who wish to hear the one simple message of love. Again and again, we suggest that the nature of the creation is love, unmanifest and manifest, and that by moving more and more in harmony with the original Thought of love, a seeker of the mystery of the Creator may accelerate his pace upon the journey.
We are then the Holy Spirit or Comforter, in this instrument's terms. We have appeared as many, many things, including angels. We appear in thought alone at this time, and find that the mass of those who would seek our information prefer the, as this instrument would say, mythology, of the spacecraft and the visitors from elsewhere to the equally valid manifestation in thought of the angels or the vision. Were we to appear as ourselves, those of the Confederation would look most variously, and we feel our impact upon your people is more proof against abuse of free will by our speaking through instruments such as this one and using the most desired metaphors and images concerning our inner nature and function in order that we may aid the most entities.
It matters not who entities think we are. We attempt to satisfy the need for otherness, mystery and solemnity, and to indicate our polarity in a clear way. After that, our dependence is upon the relationship we may forge with a carefully tuned instrument, and in that way, by collaboration, we offer what humble gifts we have.
There is a third nature which shall disturb this instrument, although it has been intellectually considering this possibility for some time and has discussed it. Yet it will be sorry to hear from this contact that in our opinion we are completely within the instrument's mind, that is, we are allowed to speak because the instrument has made a pathway deeply enough into its own subconscious levels of thought that it is able to contact principles which lie deep within the mind and are influenced by the various energies of gravity in a spiritual sense which flow rhythmically through the metaphysical portion of each individual as well as the physiological portion. The study of the latter is called astrology; the study of the former could be called metaphysical astrology, and would reveal an inner universe of which the outer infinity of galaxies is but an hologram which moves in a predictable fashion, allowing at various times the various life-giving, gem-like energies of the archetypal subconscious to flash through to the surface and produce each day differently, each moment slightly variously, the message of love and light.
This instrument, therefore, may identify us with itself in the deepest reality of which we are aware. The infinity and reality lie not outside, but inside the non-thing which is each entity's consciousness. All studies concerning an entity are studies in a mirror, the true self, the inner self, being invisible. One learns of the inner self by looking very carefully in the mirror.
We are those principles within the infinity of the Creator which speak the words of Jesus the Christ to the world at this day. For those of other belief systems whose journeys have led them to a purity of a certain level, we identify ourselves equally with that entity's deity and come into relationship as those who may confess faith in this deity. If this entity were not dwelling with an heart full of faith, we could not come in the name of the Deity. It is our understanding—and again you must forgive our use of that word, for we feel our grasp is limited—that the Deity, the Creator is one, and each distortion which moves entities into a life of faith is acceptable to us.
It is the faith, the peace, the inner surrender to the will of the infinite Creator which marks the one which has decided to become a servant of the Creator, or, to put it another way, one who has decided to lose oneself in praise and worship of the one infinite Creator, for worship always produces the manifestation, not the manifestation the worship.
We very much thank this instrument for being courageous enough to be willing to risk what this instrument considers to be wonderful work lost. This risk the instrument chose to take by requesting our true nature. We do not think that this instrument will need to separate its faith from its work with us, yet it is the free will of the instrument which thinks and considers ethical questions deeply. We can only suggest to any whose religious beliefs attempt to strangle information that that information which is not truthful for an entity will not be retained by the entity. Were our energy fields not completely consistent with this entity's careful tuning and challenging, we could not speak.
Therefore, without wishing to infringe upon free will, we are nevertheless sanguine that we shall indeed be acceptable to this instrument at the end of each deliberation, as we are indeed of the principle of love, and that is the Christ, and the one known as Jesus was a complete Christ, Son of Man, and servant of …
(Side one of tape ends.)
I am Q'uo, and greet you once again in love and light. To repeat that which was lost. We are servant of All and lord of All, as the one known as Jesus was both the servant and lord, because we are those disciplined to the principle of love, to the refinement which allows us to live comfortably and therefore to comfort. There is that position which is attained at many times throughout the infinity which seems to stretch before one such as yourselves, to be many, many things. We have refined and refined our natures to become one with the principle of Christ, the principle of love, that which moves the consciousness to the consciousness which is the Creator.
Thus, in this instrument's Christian terms, we are those of the Holy Spirit, of Jesus the Christ. We leave to careful imagination our means of speaking to those who worship in a different way. The message is always the same, the philosophy unified, the hope of manifestation, inner peace, outer joy and the productivity of the good vine as each contributes in spiritual lightening of the consciousness of your planet.
We are those of Q'uo. We find that this instrument has only some confusion, but no queries, consequently we shall close at this time, thanking each who is somewhat fatigued for the privilege of speaking and attempting to serve. We would share our love and blessing and thank each for persistent faithfulness. We are most privileged to work with this group and to share in your quiet meditation. We are known to you as those of Q'uo. We leave you in the love and the light of one infinite Creator. Adonai vasu borragus.

Q: How do I burn an incense pyre?
A: First find a heatproof, non-flammable container such as a seashell, clay bowl, a rock or a device designed to burn incense cones. Place the cone in or on the container and light the tip of the cone with a lighter or match. Allow cone to burn for 10 to 15 seconds until a red ember is visible and then blow out. Your cone should smoke and continue to burn on its own. If it does not stay lit, try again.
Q: How long will a cone of incense scent my room?
A: Many hours depending upon your room size, ventilation such as AC or drafts. For larger rooms, burn two or three cones at once.
Q: My incense cone didn't burn to the end. What do I do?
A: First off, some mysteries of science and chemistry are never to be solved. Beyond that here are some helpful hints and tips. #1 Fire requires air. Try placing your cones on sand, salt or dry non-flammable soil to increase circulation. Also, try blowing on the cone a bit in the beginning to build up a larger ember #2 Made sure your cones didn't get wet or think about if the air is very humid. Water prevents fire. #3 Relight the cone. You can do this by holding the cone with tweezers for safety while you are lighting. #4 Break off the tip of a new cone. Sometimes the cone needs a larger ember to get started in life and to stay burning. #6 Don't let the flame run too long or too short before blowing out the cone. #7 Email email@example.com for help.
Q: Which of your scents are for men and which are for women?
A: We believe that scent is a personal expression of your individuality and it's truly up to the individual to select scents that are right for them based on their skin type and personal preference. This is one of the main reasons that we offer all of our scents in sample sizes for purchase.
Q: Why can't I smell my Pipe Bomb Perfume?
A: Pipe Bomb contains so few molecules that the nose may become anosmic to the scent. Read more about it here.
Q: My bottle of Pipe Bomb has white crystals around the sprayer. Is it defective?
A: Pipe Bomb is what is called a "molecule perfume". One of the molecules it contains starts out in the crystal form before being diluted with alcohol. When the alcohol dries down the crystals go back to their solid state. You can wipe down the crystals with a cotton ball soaked in alcohol.
Q: Where can I smell your incense and perfume in person?
A: You can either purchase an incense sampler pack or the Eau de Parfum sampler mix. Or you can check our retailer page for a local vendor near you.
Q: How can I sell Blackbird products in my store?
A: Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for inquiry.

Occasional Local Pests
The occasional pest invaders that are common to Las Vegas and the Mojave Desert are:
- Earwigs
- Silverfish
- Crickets
If any of these insects invade your property, our team at Fortified can remove the infestation and provide pest control services to minimize future invasions.
Where Do Earwigs Live & Do They Bite?
Earwig pests infiltrating homes or businesses in Las Vegas are relatively harmless; although if they feel threatened, they will try to intimidate their assailant by executing a slight pinch with their forceps. Earwigs typically prefer the outdoors but will venture indoors in search of food, water, and shelter. They prefer cool and moist places such as bathrooms and laundry rooms. Earwigs get their name from an Old English word meaning "ear insect" due to the superstition that they would seek retreat in a person's ear to lay their eggs in the brain.
Are Silverfish Harmful? What Causes Them?
Silverfish often cross the threshold of commercial or residential properties in the Greater Las Vegas Area. They are closely related to firebrats, appearing very similar as well as sharing similar habits and preferences to food. These occasional invaders usually come into buildings in search of carbohydrates and protein. They are attracted to glue, wallpaper, wallpaper glue, bookbinding, photographs, paper, starch, cotton, linen, rayon fabrics, wheat flour, cereals, dried meats, leather, and dead insects. Though silverfish are a major nuisance and inconvenience, they are generally not harmful to people and pets.
Cricket Jumping & Sounds
Crickets are obnoxious pests that can keep you awake all night with their songs. A cricket's size varies depending on its species, but they range between 1-2 inches in length. Crickets also range in different levels of blacks, reds, greens, and browns in their color. Most cricket species have two pairs of membranous wings and flattened bodies. Despite having wings, they are flightless. Instead, they jump in jerky, unpredictable movements that can be quite startling.
Crickets also have one pair of antenna or feelers that aid them in detecting movement of potential prey and finding food. It's important not to store stacks of cardboard, such as moving boxes in your home. Crickets are attracted to the cardboard, and spiders are attracted to the crickets, which can cause an even bigger pest problem!
Occasional Invader Pest Control
If you have any of these occasional invaders intruding on your commercial or residential property in the Las Vegas Valley, contact Fortified Pest Management and let our specialists provide you with our valuable services.
Fortified Pest is fully licensed and insured to supply our professional expertise and a wide range of pest control services to the commercial business owners and residential homeowners of the Greater Las Vegas, Nevada Valley.

These attributes are enhanced with the aid of top-shelf products and equipment that are exclusive to licensed professionals.

We carry a wide selection of bras and panties to fit all shapes and sizes, with cup sizes ranging from A up to K and band sizes from 30″ to 50″, and we will order other sizes when necessary. And with so many choices, we're here to help you choose the right products for you by offering personalized fittings.

If you've never had a bra fitting before – don't worry! We do everything we can to make sure you have a positive and comfortable experience. Our friendly and helpful fitters will walk you through the process, and find the right size and style for you. Each customer is assigned her own personal fitter to guide her through our selection of bras, consider her preferences and special needs, and explain the ins and outs of getting the right fit.
We keep track of your size, past purchases, and style preferences so that we can provide efficient assistance when you see us next.

This groundbreaking and purposeful inter-institutional consortium will be centered on faculty development.
This MOU will create a groundbreaking HBCU inter-institutional consortium centered on faculty development for 21st Century Career Pathways. The C3 institutions are uniquely positioned to collaborate because of the following commonalities:
- Geographically located in urban regions
- Developed connection to growing industries including healthcare, financial services, cybersecurity, engineering, and a variety of helping professions (e.g., education; social work)
- Academic profiles of students
- Strong alumni base

To some, the popularity of remakes over the last couple decades - along with hasty 3D conversions, the Saw series, and Michael Bay - spells twilight for great American cinema. To others, remakes are like holidays: the comforting repetition of tradition that grounds us in a world in which technology is changing the way we live every day. But even holiday traditions aren't good by default, and the history of remakes has had more than few fruitcakes.
Either way, don't expect to escape remakes anytime soon; like sequels and reboots, they are a favorite bet with increasingly cautious Hollywood studios. In October, new versions of Footloose and The Three Musketeers will hit theatres, no doubt driving critics to their thesauruses for more ways to say "screamingly awful."
As we wait to see how audiences will treat these latest remakes, here are the five worst cinematic remakes of all time.
5. Psycho (1998)
Rundown: This shot-by-shot color remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 masterpiece certainly created buzz for its daring, but it will go down in film history as utterly pointless. As Roger Ebert wrote at the time, director Gus Van Sant - whose otherwise brilliant career includes Good Will Hunting and Milk - brings nothing new to the table save an unnecessary masturbation scene.
Unfortunately, Hitchcock may not be done turning in his grave; Chinese director Chen Daming said in an interview last year that he'd love to remake classics like Strangers on a Train (1951) and North by Northwest (1959) for Chinese audiences. Fingers crossed.
How bad is it? It's said that Orson Welles' dying wish was to keep the colorizing-happy Ted Turner and his "damn crayons" away from Citizen Kane.
That's basically what this is: Psycho, but not good, with crayons.
4. Fame (2009)
Rundown: This remake of the popular 1980 film of the same name sought to capitalize on the success of reality shows like "So You Think You Can Dance" and "American Idol." But unlike a little show called "Glee" that did this effectively, 2009's Fame felt like it could have been written by the Microsoft Office paperclip (or maybe it was, since he clearly abandoned his old gig).
How bad is it? Even my friend Dave, a singing, dancing, ballroom instructor with a crush on star (and "SYTYCD" alum) Kherington Payne, fell asleep.
3. The Wicker Man (2006)Rundown:
Before we knew thatNicholas Cage's film career
would only keep getting worse, there was this remake of the 1973 cult classicThe Wicker Man
. Where the original holds a favored place in the history of horror, this version would find better company in the comedy section.
At least it gave us the infinitely quotable: "Get off the bike. Get off the bike. Step away from the bike!"
How bad is it? The hilarious YouTube video "Best Scenes from 'The Wicker Man,'" featuring clips of Cage punching Leelee Sobieski and running around in a bear costume, is just shy of 3 million views.
2. Rollerball (2002)
Rundown: Stripping away all that was right about the 1975 Rollerball (its dark, dystopian themes and star James Caan), this remake claims an astoundingly low critical rating of 3% on Rotten Tomatoes. At least Rebecca Romijn got to somewhat mask herself with a black wig and one of those vaguely Russian accents required of Hollywood starlets (see Angelina Jolie in Alexander); Chris Klein and LL Cool J are easily recognizable.
How bad is it? Klein's role would be better played by that two-by-four with the drawn-on face everyone was touting as a replacement for Keanu Reeves in The Matrix trilogy.
1. High School Musical: China (College Dreams) (2010)
Rundown: In an epic fail for globalization, Disney tried to export its wildly popular High School Musical franchise to China with this Chinese remake of the 2006 original. There were problems from the start; for one, it was deemed that high-school students having time to put on a musical in the rigorous Chinese school system was too unrealistic, and the plot was moved to college.

In this space I write about my life, and knitting projects. I enjoy photography as well as other creative pursuits and share my experiences here.

The color of that cardi is GORGEOUS!!! And, boy do I know that "are we there yet" feeling when it comes to knitting :-) I like to think of myself as a "process" knitter, but sometimes I just can't wait to see the finished result.ReplyDelete
I tried to finish my shawl last night, after midnight, because of the same "are we there yet" feeling ... And kept losing stitches while knitting a relatively simple bind-off! So I went to bed and finished it this afternoon instead. :)ReplyDelete
I have been working on my cardi and saying the same thing. I am just trying to get to the sleeves and it's taking forever. I really do detest the yarn I'm using so that is a big part of the problem.ReplyDelete
Have a wonderful, happy filled weekend.

Looking for a sleek, smooth, frictionless screw? This glass beauty will make your toes curl…
How does it work?
You can get singular glass dildos that you can either use to stimulate and penetrate your anus or vagina, but the Love Labs Glass Dildo is perfect for clitoral and G-Spot stimulation too. You can either use it cold or hot, as the Pyrex material is designed to withstand maximum temperatures.
Why not experiment with variations in temperature to see what turns you on? If you want your dildo to be cold, submerge it in ice water for 5-10 minutes depending on how extreme you want the temperature to be. If you want it hot, do the same thing except in hot water.
Sizzlin' features:
This kinky glass dildo is also amazing for anal penetration, with a choice of 'head sizes' to suit your penetration preference. For the more practically-minded among you, it's also dishwasher safe and comes with a pretty velvet carry pouch!
Top tip:
The Pyrex material makes this Love Labs Glass Dildo one hell of a smooth ride, but why not take it to the next level with some tingling lubricant? We love Durex's Play Mint Tingle Lubricant and the Tracey Cox Supersex Mint Tingle Lube.

I was on a very self destructive path, one that without the experience I'm going to share I would still be on.
A close friend who heard me talking about what I had been reading about on the subject asked if I would like to try it, and soon I was at her place, and she was walking me through what to do. Using a light bulb, I took a hit, I don't really remember the second, third, or fourth… but she said every time she leaned in to help me hit the makeshift pipe I hit it.
When she lifted the pipe from my lips, it was as if time had sped up and stopped at the same time. Fractals were coming in from all corners of the room, but they were more advanced then anything I had seen before.
Then these beings appeared; I could see no face, just shadows, or outlines rather, and they were singing this hum that I could almost not hear, but I felt and knew was beautiful.
They scanned me with beams of light coming from their hands from head to toe, then they were dancing and flying up to my face, then through me.
There were times when I looked on the walls and saw bits of my life flashing before my eyes — repressed memories I had long since forgotten.
That experience gave me hope for something better, and I hope it helps any who are curious about this thing to go out and try it. Even though it is different for everyone, the experience is always worth it.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Monday said the inflation rate in December 2015 rose to 9.6 per cent compared to the 9.4 per cent inflation rate in November.
This is contained in December 2015 Consumer Price Index (CPI)/ Inflation Report issued by the NBS in Abuja.
The report said the pace of increases recorded by CPI which measures inflation increased for the second consecutive month.
"The Headline Index increased by 9.6 per cent (year-on-year), 0.2 per cent points higher from rates recorded in November.
"The increase in the headline index is driven in part by higher prices within key divisions which contribute to the index.
"In particular, imported food items within the food and non-alcoholic beverages divisions, alcoholic beverage, tobacco and kola, clothing and footwear and transportation divisions all impacted the index,'' it said.
According to the report, food prices record significant pressures in December.
It said that the food sub-index increased to 10.6 per cent (year-on-year) during the month, 0.3 per cent points from rates recorded in November.
"All major food groups, which contribute to the food sub index, increase at a faster pace during the month with the exception of the milk, cheese and eggs group.''
Meanwhile, the Urban Index grew at faster pace relative to November, increasing by 9.7 per cent (year-on-year) from 9.4 per cent.
It said that the pace of increase recorded in December in the Rural Index was relatively muted, increasing from 9.3 per cent in November to 9.4 per cent in December.
On a month-on-month basis, it said that both the urban and rural indices increased at the same pace, both increasing at 1.0 per cent in December, 0.3 per cent points from 0.7 per cent in November.

- Family of 15 Year Old Drowning Victim Sues
The family of a 15-year-old boy who drowned at a Michigan camp last summer has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the camp and several camp employees.
According to the suit, the victim, along with other boys, was swimming after 10 p.m. in an area of the water that was not illuminated. A lifeguard lost sight of the boy, who had gone under. Unbelievably, he was underwater for almost 30 minutes before police and camp employees found him.
- New Claims in the Lawsuit Over Pregnant Inmate's Death
Attorneys representing the estate of a pregnant woman, who died while in a Pennsylvania county jail, are asking for the judge to allow them to amend their complaint, adding new allegations to their lawsuit.
The allegations here are sad. The 27 year old inmate died of pneumonia after being moved to a hospital from the jail. The amended complaint said that during December 2009, the woman's cell block had "little or no heat" and inmates "could see their breath." It is alleged that the walls and ceiling were leaking water, and that there was a strong smell of sewage coming from her sink. It is further alleged that there was black mold growing on and around her toilet and wall. The conditions sound absolutely deplorable.
On Friday, the Judge denied a motion by the county to dismiss the complaint, but has yet to rule on the request to amend.

Charming Haniotena Cottage lies between a tiny white-washed chapel and a carved village spring at the end of a narrow lane in Kritsa. This is one of Crete's oldest and prettiest villages, set on a hillside just a short drive from the sea. Inside the gate you enter a secluded courtyard garden, filled with flowers and herbs: a tangle of jasmine tumbling around elegant irises and earthenware pots filled with fragrant rosemary and oregano. At the far end is a sheltered swimming pool with beautiful views across open countryside towards Almyros Beach.
Inside, aged oak and natural stone are enhanced by traditional furnishings, creating a simple Grecian feel, with touches of cobalt blue in the kitchen adding to the villa's atmospheric appeal. Upstairs the light and airy bedroom affords wonderful views towards the coast and there is an additional sleeping area on the lower ground floor. There are shops and tavernas within walking distance of the property and the fashionable harbour town of Agios Nikolaos is just a 20-minute drive away.

Customer feedback
Haniotena Cottage is a very homely quirky cottage. Typically Greek. Kritsas is a great base to explore the area and come back to the comfortable little heaven.
The Newhouses – October 2019
This was our third stay at Haniotena Cottage in Kritsa. The cottage is very convenient for local amenities, has beautiful views and a small garden and pool to die for. Simpson staff were superb in every way. In addition the local villagers and tradespeople are very friendly and helpful. Despite having obvious tourist appeal, this village has not been spoilt and manages somehow to blend tourism with a very natural and authentic Cretan experience.
Mrs Mitchell – October 2019
Excellent stay at Haniotena, great for adults who like a quirky place to stay. An amazing view, lovely sunrises. Kostoula and Lydia are an absolute asset to Simpson Travel and a pleasure to meet.
Mark & Rob – September 2019
We could not have chosen a more perfect location for our honeymoon; it was everything we wanted and exceeded all of our expectations – peaceful and private, away from the bustling tourist areas and authentically Greek. The cottage was beautiful, the views stunning, the local people of Kritsa welcoming and friendly and Kostoula, the Simpson representative, went out of her way to make our stay extra special. We relaxed and unwound by the pool but having the car meant we could explore when we wanted to and there is plenty to do and see in the local area. We felt very lucky to have been able to spend time here and were very sad to leave. It really is a little piece of heaven!
Mr & Mrs Stickells – August 2019
Excellent village location.The cottage could best be described as rustic chic and is probably unlike any other ordinary villa. The front door opens onto the communal lanes and alleys of the village, but the rear of the cottage is a secluded, private haven with excellent views. This is the second time we have booked through Simpson Travel and on both occasions the service from telephone booking, flight and airport contact to the villa and departure can only be described as excellent.
Pat & Dave – May 2019
Very relaxing and enjoyable two weeks on Kritsa. Visits to local sights – Lato, Panagia Kera, Katharo Plateau – all worthwhile and some spectacular scenery on route. Enjoyed views from the bedroom/sitting area – beautiful colours over the mountains across the bay at sunset. Thank you to Lydia and Kostoula for looking after us.
Margaret & Chris – October 2018
We've enjoyed every minute of this holiday – what's not to like, a quirky cottage, friendly locals and sunny weather! Special thanks to Kostoula and Lydia for all their help and local wisdom. We will be back one day.
Esther & Andy – October 2018
We've returned – as we hoped we would! Two weeks in this time. We have been recognised and welcomed back by many of the local people and of course, Lydia has been helpful, friendly and rescued us when we lost the front door key on our trip to Spinalonga. We have eaten out in the village – Aristidis and The Big Tree. Having had a very busy two months prior to coming away, this holiday has been just what we needed – we knew what to expect and weren't disappointed. We went to see Sonia (owner of the cottage) she was delighted to meet guests from her house in Kritsa. Thank you to Kotstoula (always at the end of the phone when needed!). we've had a great holiday, the weather has been fantastic – thank you to everyone involved.
Pete & Penny – September 2018
We had a wonderful holiday, thank you Simpson Travel. Haniotena is a lovely cottage up in the hills with an amazing view – it felt like home the moment we stepped inside. The village was just a few minutes' walk from our idyllic cottage hideaway and you can buy all the basic amenities you need. The locals are so wonderfully friendly, we felt like one of the villagers by the time we left. The taverna nearest the cottage served amazingly tasty local fish and make their own taramosalata – it was divine.
N & S – August 2018
Had a lovely week here, in this quirky but lovely house. We liked Lato city which is well worth a short drive. St Pantaleimon beach was lovely and the Agadiko taverna had good service and home cooked food. We enjoyed Katharo plateau and especially Katerina's Taverna.
Chris & Jan – August 2018
I have travelled three times with Simpson Travel and I would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone. The attention to detail and the trouble-free touches, such as car hire and information prior to travel is spot on. The standard of all the properties is very high and I am sure I will be booking again with Simpson Travel.
Clare – July 2018
Wonderful, relaxing week at the Haniotena cottage. We loved the pool and swam/bobbed in it every day. Visited the mined Dorian city at Lato, just 'around the corner'. Ventured out to Sitia for a few days drive and lunch. Agios Nikolaos was great fun for a lazy lunch at Palagos as well as leisurely shopping and sightseeing. We have loved this week and especially the charm of Haniotena Cottage. It is looked after beautifully by Lydia, who is very special. Special mention for the swallows and swifts with whom we shared the pool.
Nigel & Frances – July 2018
The cottage has been the perfect ad much needed antidote to a busy year from us both. The frequent dips in the pool have been bliss and we've explored out beyond Kritsa a fair bit. We recommend the plateau above and lots nearby, but also a fishing hamlet, Mochlos, at the end of the mountains you can see in the far distance across the bay. Thank you to Kostoula and Lydia for looking after us. Highly recommended – this cottage is a delight!
Glen & Alan – July 2018
Lovely cottage – well kept – pool is a big bonus. Great views from the bedroom feature windows. Kritsa is a beautiful village, all provisions catered for at super market at the bottom of the hill. All in all, a great holiday.
Tony & Liz – June 2018
We had such a great time! We loved the villa and the location. Marian and Elli made us so welcome. We loved the beaches, the food, the people! So many surprises of the good kind like the support at the airport, clean towels and beds during the week. We would 100% book through Simpson Travel again! From booking to getting home everyone made our holiday really, really great. Many, many thanks!
Dr and Mrs Jackson – July 2018
A perfect hideaway for a week and yet so close the village and its life. Perfect weather. The swallows and pipistrelles have been a joy to watch, by day and night over the pool – so difficult to photograph! Many thanks to Simpson Travel for the use of such an unusual cottage.
Mike & Sue – April 2018
This was our first trip with Simpson Travel. We have just flown home and are in the process now of booking for next year we were so pleased. When we expressed a possible concern with the car it was changed the next morning. We have had a very stressful year and this was just what we needed. Everything ran like clockwork and we have come back refreshed and renewed.
Mrs Jenkins – October 2017
Excellent service from the Simpson Travel from booking to arrival at the villa. The villa was beautiful and the website clearly showed the property accurately and gave all the information needed. Welcome pack was very good and help from Evie, the local representative, was easily available and her service attentive to our wishes.
Dr Thomas – October 2017
Loved everything about this wonderful cottage and the village of Kritsa. Such warm and welcoming people who make you feel a part of village life from the outset. We set out to have a week of doing little other than relaxing at the cottage and spending time in the village. It was a perfect combination. We did not ignore the resident puss-cat. We loved having her about and it made us feel very at home to have such an affectionate cat around. We will miss her. We don't know how the Simpson Travel manages to find such wonderful villas/cottages for us to enjoy but very pleased they do. Thanks as ever to all involved in making our holiday a great one.
Laura & Steve – September 2017
Fabulous in so many ways – the cottage, the view, the village, the local people, the village tavernas and bars and the weather. And, as ever, the Simpson Travel service.
Mrs Bishopclark – September 2017
We have had a wonderful week's holiday here. The weather couldn't have been better. As previously mentioned, to have a cottage with wonderful views, but so close to the village is indeed hard to come by – it was such a treat to eat out on a few occasions. The local people are very friendly and eager to 'treat you' with food or a little gift. Thank you to Evie and Lydia for their local knowledge and suggestions. We hope to return next year.
Pete & Perry – September 2017
We too have had wonderful week here. Our itinerary was to be idle for a week and that is what we did entirely. It is perfect for relaxation as to have a house with views but also to have a pretty village/town just outside your door is hard to come by. Special mention of course to Lydia and Evie. If I could I would have taken her home but she does a fab job at keeping the garden safe.
Andrea & Ian – August 2017
We have absolutely loved staying here and will miss all of its charm and tranquillity when we are back in our busy London lives. We really enjoyed meeting the hugely welcoming locals who made it their mission to include us for drinks and chats whenever possible. Lots of relaxing in the pool! Thank you for everything!
Emily & Alex – August 2017
Returning for a second year to the beautiful Haniotena Cottage in Kritsa, we were not disappointed. It is the most beautiful location and so peaceful. The local residents are very friendly and welcoming. We shall hopefully be returning in the future.
Mrs Mitchell – June 2017
We've really enjoyed Haniotena Cottage as a base for exploring East Crete. We spent all of our time on the lovely sunny terrace in the mornings and our room in the evening. We have had terrific weather and a very relaxing time. Kritsa was a perfect host! Great suggestions and recommendations from Evie and Lydia – our thanks to them both. Many thanks for sharing a lovely place to stay.
Rebecca & Graham – May 2017
Stunning property. We had a very relaxing holiday. The cottage is home from home. Views are incredible. The pool and garden only add to the first class experience of genuine, traditional Cretan adventure. Thanks Simpson Travel.
Mr Hosking – August 2016
What at an idyllic two weeks! Breathtaking views over the valley to the sea beyond and mountains in the background. Being within 2-3 minutes of the beautiful mountain village of Kritsa made this cottage even more appealing with shops and tavernas so close and villagers all so friendly... We loved it!
Mrs Rasmussen – July 2016
Our first visit to Crete was delightful and we came across many small villages with kind and welcoming locals (non-English speaking!). Even after two weeks we have barely scratched the surface and our appetite is whetted for a return visit. Crete airport seems the most efficient of all the Greek Islands that we have flown to.
Mrs Elliott – May 2016
Had a brilliant two weeks at Haniotena Cottage. Kritsa is such a lovely, friendly village and we were drawn into village life. Cottage comfortable, garden and pool just lovely, especially the dipping swallows.
Mrs Butler – June 2015
We had a fantastic week. The cottage is comfortable and quirky. We loved the little archways and alcoves downstairs and the airy comfort upstairs. The garden is beautiful – the pool perfect.
Mrs Pugh – June 2015
Haniotena Cottage, in the pretty village of Kritsa, is the quirkiest place we have ever stayed – a great base from which to explore the many delights of Eastern Crete.
Mrs Lynch – September 2014
Our holiday in Crete was the best for years. The service from booking to departure (except for the charter airline and departure check-in) was excellent. The local representative was helpful with many good tips and information. The villa was everything we expected from the website and a little more. We would certainly consider booking another holiday with Simpson Travel in the future. Thank you.
Mr Merry – August 2014
Haniotena Cottage was a delightful holiday home and gave us a real flavour of living in traditional Crete. The village of Kritsa is full of character, lovely people and tavernas serving great food at a very reasonable price. We would love to return next year to experience more of this beautiful part of Crete.
Mr Solomon – June 2014
Beautiful cottage with its own lovely garden and pool to enjoy. Really nice to be in a small village where you can get to know some of the local people to enhance your holiday. Good location to explore nice beaches, tavernas and mountain roads. Crete is a beautiful island full of lovely welcoming people and would certainly come back.
Mrs Payne – July 2013
Excellent agent. A pleasure to deal with, everything was taken care of and everyone I had dealings with were polite and professional. Highly recommended.
Mr Roche-Gordon – April 2013
Spent a lovely relaxing week in this charming place. The cottage is wonderfully welcoming and comfortable. The only problem is...choosing where to sit! Katharo Plateau – away from it all and peaceful. We wish we'd been there in the spring to see the flowers. Thank you Lynne and Lydia.
Mrs Brooks – October 2012
The accommodation and location of our holiday is unique, very enjoyable holiday.
Mr Unsworth – September 2012
We had an idyllic time in the cottage doing very little apart from enjoying the pool, the scenery, the village, the sunshine and the food. It was just what we needed. Thank you. We have had a lovely week.
Miss Currie – August 2012
Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
* For further clarification on Facilities and Amenities, please view the 'Details' tab for each property or speak to one of our experienced sales consultants.
The road from north to south Crete takes you on an inspiring journey from the exclusivity of Elounda and the elegance of lakeside Agios Nikolaos into a rugged landscape harbouring the soul food of a simpler life. From gorges and caves to the mountain communities of the beautiful Lasithi Plateau – and then on to the romantically unspoilt beaches and homely tavernas of Myrtos, Makrigialos and Ferma in the south – this is Crete at its most warmly welcoming, without artifice, where you're a guest and never a tourist.
Discover it for yourself from a handpicked villa in The Gulf of Mirabello & South East Crete.

The Cable
U.S. Losing Legitimacy as Corruption Fighter, Experts Say
Once a shining beacon, the United States now offers an excuse for behaving badly.
The United States' position as a global leader in fighting bribery is in danger of seriously eroding, with potentially nasty consequences for clean business dealings around the world.
Anti-bribery organization Trace International on Thursday released the third edition of its Bribery Risk Matrix, which since 2014 has served as a bribery-risk scorecard. Traditionally clean countries like Sweden, New Zealand, Norway, Finland, and the United Kingdom crowd the top of the list. The United States ranks 16th, behind Germany, Canada, and Hong Kong.
The U.S. ranking remains about where it was in previous reports, but the global perception is that the United States under the leadership of President Donald Trump no longer puts a premium on fighting bribery and corruption, said Alexandra Wrage, president of Trace.
Since the late 1990s, "the U.S. has been seen as the engine for this global anti-corruption effort and it is really difficult to watch that being eroded," Wrage said. "There is a very strong sense that the U.S. is squandering its leadership role on this issue because of the behavior of the administration with respect to conflicts of interest."
Those perceptions, she said, are fanned by things like the president profiting from his office — a seeming violation of the Constitution's emoluments clause.
Though an increase or decrease in bribery at any level is extremely difficult to measure, Wrage said, the study aims to identify factors that enable it. Those include poor enforcement of laws against bribery, a lack of transparency when it comes to governmental functions and potential conflicts of interest, and factors that might limit the ability of civil society and institutions not only to identify and report corruption, but also to express dissatisfaction through protest.
Some of those risks seem to be growing in the United States this year. Since taking office, the Trump administration canceled ethics training for White House staff and eliminated an anti-corruption rule meant to make it hard for U.S. energy companies to pay foreign governments. Soon after taking office, Trump reportedly railed against anti-bribery rules for U.S. companies.
And that, in turn, isn't helping the fight against bribery and in favor of transparency overseas. When Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's son Hun Manith drew criticism for successive appointments as general director of the Defence Ministry's Military Intelligence Department and a lieutenant general in the Cambodian armed forces, a government spokesman dismissed concerns — by citing the example of the U.S. president.
"When Donald Trump became president, did he ask all his children to resign from all their businesses and not promote them to have any roles?" he asked a reporter.
That worries Wrage, who spends about half her year outside the United States trying to beef up standards and rules against bribery.
"I don't know how you restore [legitimacy] again once it's lost," she said. Before, in other countries, reformers would use U.S. pressure to jump-start their own efforts to fight bribery. "Now, you really do find people rolling their eyes and kind of saying, 'Who are you to tell us?'"
"And that has degenerated very rapidly," Wrage said. "It hasn't taken long for that to happen."
