But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.(Galatians 4:4-5)
When God became a man, He put himself under the law. In every sense possible Jesus was yoked underneath the heavy load of the Law of God. The entire moral, sacrificial and ritual law were placed upon the MEssiah from birth.
At the very beginning we are told of Jesus' circumcision. He too was circumcised the eighth day according to the Law of Moses, and His mother who bore him had to undergo the ritual purification rite.
And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.(Luke 2:21-24)
Circumcision presupposes sin and guilt. It is a ritual that implies that we are fallen and not acceptable as we are naturally. Particularly in that part of us that transmits natural life, we must be altered ,something painful and limiting must be applied to us. Birth makes a woman unclean, and for the male, seminal emission is uncleanness. This is the Old Testament teaching of original sin.
The Savior first shed his blood when he was circumcised in the temple according to the Law of Moses.
But the Messiah had no original sin, so why should He be circumcised? To fulfill the purpose for which He came into the world, as Isaiah told us, "He was numbered with the transgressors and bare the sin of the many…". He who knew no sin became one with us, not in guilt, but in liability to the law of God.
He underwent the discipline of the entire law of God, growing in His knowledge of it, being a disciple of the Law, and at 13 becoming a "Bar Mitzvah" , a Son of the Law of God. In all things He kept the spirit of the Law as well as the letter. King David was prophesying through the Spirit of his greater son, the Messiah, when he said things such as ;
With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes. With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word. Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.(Psalm 119:10-20)
Only of the Messiah could it be said by the Father in Heaven, "This is my beloved Son, in Him I am well pleased", for in Him alone does the heavy law of God find its complete satisfaction. What is he end and goal of the Law of God anyway, but to draw men to love God and to each other…"Thou shalt Love the Lord Thy God, with all of they heart, and with all of thy soul and with all of thy mind and all of thy strength… and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself".
Jesus alone proved capable of doing the above in a complete and inward sense. His human life was a love offering to the Father. He did not hate or oppose the law of God, Jesus loved, treasured and even magnified it. His interpretation of the Ten commandments, that they are to be spiritually followed and not merely externally, is what convicted me personally of my sin and eventually led me to God.
The law which He upheld in its entirety, we have all broken. Now the law demands death for the transgressor, and Life for the keeper thereof. At the prime of His life, the Messiah credited His Law Keeping to you and me, and made himself liable for our law breaking.
He was condemned under the law, by the High Priest, (the chief executive of the law of Moses). The charge was blasphemy, a charge which pretty much sums up my lifetime of slights and distortions towards God.
He wasn't stoned, however. The holy logic of stoning is that because the LAw was written on stone, transgression of the law called for stoning. The law breaks you, you don't break the law.
THe Messiah instead fulfilled in his death another aspect of the Law, He was crucified,(Hanged). Deuteronomy tells us that Hanging is reserved for a particular type of transgressor, one who is actually cursed of God!
And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.(Deuteronomy 21:22-23)
It should be of interest that Pilate unknowingly performed another ritual from Deuteronomy 21, at the trial of Jesus. The Law of Moses decreed that should an innocent person be found murdered in a city and the murderer is unknown, the elders of the city should gather, slay a heifer and wash their own hands over the innocent heifer.
And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley: And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it. Be merciful, O Lord, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them. So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord.Deuteronomy 21:6-9)
The Messiah, who hung between heaven and earth upon that cross, naked, defenseless against his tormenters and their mockery, derelict of friend and lover, and abandoned even of God, was cursed of God indeed!
But not for himself, for he took upon himself our curse which we deserve- "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, for it is written,'cursed is everyone who hangs upon a tree"(Galatians 3:13)

Mendon holds 23rd annual spruce-up
Downtown Mendon was a ray of sunshine on a gloomy day Friday.
A team of 46, including 39 students in Caleb Stephenson's social studies classes at Mendon High School, took part in the village's 23rd annual spring spruce-up.
With a collection of debris, leaves, sticks and weeds to tackle, the students methodically went about their business during the day-long project. After removing the yard waste, students turned their attention to planting nearly 20 flats of begonias throughout the downtown block.
The improvement tickled Sarah Stewart, who has spearheaded the event from its inception.
"It certainly makes a difference in the way downtown Mendon looks, but what pleases me more is seeing the enthusiasm the students have shown toward the work," she said. "This is our sixth year partnering with the junior class and I've enjoyed seeing the kids take such pride in their work and community."
Previously, the school's National Honor Society helped out. Before that, representatives from a number of community groups, including the Mendon Women's Club, Friends of the Library and church groups, were a part of the event.
As time passed, however, the task was assigned to Mendon High School's students.
"It's been a great partnership and it really is a big deal for me to see how hard they are working," Stewart said. "They formed their own groups and didn't stand around and wait for instructions."
Stephenson said the event intentionally coincides with the annual Dust-Off old car show, which is Sunday. He said the community-service project benefits the community as much as it does the students.
"They get community-service credit for it, but I had perfect attendance today, so that tells me a lot about their enthusiasm," he said. "It's a community effort – a lot of moms and dads provided rakes, tools and other things we'll need for the day – and it's attribute to our character in Mendon."
Stephenson said he hopes the annual spruce-up leaves a positive impression on Dust-Off participants who perhaps visit Mendon only once a year.
His mother, Holly Stephenson, served as a volunteer. She said she especially enjoys the pride students take in their work later in the summer.
She said the hard work has its rewards.
"I know a lot of them will drive through town in the summer and say, 'Hey, I helped do that,'" she said.
The begonias were sold at a discounted price by River Bend Gardens, just east of M-66 on M-60. Mulch was provided by Hacienda Landscaping of Mendon. Meanwhile, hot dogs and other lunch items were compliments of the school's prom committee and Mendon dentist Mike Carl.
Mendon Downtown Development Authority also played a significant role in the annual project.
Caleb Stephenson said if time allowed, the students would plan to wash windows in the downtown district and tidy up Reed River Park.
The only complaint he had with the day was the weather, which was in the low 50s by the time work crews hit their stride mid-morning. Stephenson recalled last year's students in shorts and T-shirts had worked up a sweat in their shorts within their first hour.
"Actually, it's turning out OK because they're working hard … constantly moving to stay warm," he said. "But I'm a big believer in kids getting involved like this, whether it's school-required or not. So, this is a great experience."
A two-person team of certified arborists from Consumers Energy was on hand to help out, trim branches and educate the students.
With the start of a major reconstruction of the village's infrastructure and Main Street through downtown Mendon looming a year from now, it's not certain if there will be a spruce-up program in 2015.
For now, however, that's inconsequential to Stephenson.
"The hard work is a testament to the town its people and how they've raised their children here," he said. "We have a reputation of being hard workers in Mendon and we're proud of that."

I'm much more of a fall person. I love the crisp air and leaves changing colours… Cliché, I know, but so very true. Fall dressing always seems to be more enjoyable for me as well. I love all the layering opportunities that the new chill in the air brings and the ability to wear a blazer at almost every turn. A great blazer is one of those wardrobe staples that I believe everyone woman needs in her closet. It can instantly amp up a basic jeans and t-shirt look or make a body-con dress daytime appropriate. With so many stores and designers offering blazers as part of their fall collections, it's one of those great items that you can find at any price point. You can never go wrong with a basic black blazer, but I think it's worth the investment of purchasing a few different coloured options. I love how this military inspired blazer works against the softness (and slight psycho madamishness) of this Blumarine top. What are your favorite fall styling tips darlings?
Update: I submitted this outfit for the latest Bloggers Do It Better challenge, don't forget to check out the rest of the participants!

Execute him we should not talk to him
Published on: 2012-11-26 @ 22:35
We cannot either kill or relocate them. So, we must find and judge the criminals (destroy the thugs) and engage the others.
Two Arab guys in the settlement of Itamar cut the Vogel family, but there is little hatred of the Arabs in Israel, so the Arabs roam quietly because they are not in danger.
There is no hatred in Israel towards Russia which stuffed Arab regimes with weapons – of which thousands of Israelis were killed. And besides, there is no such anti-Israel UN resolution under which there was a signature of Russia, but there is no open hatred too, so the asymmetry is obvious.
It is said that "Israel has managed to keep a human face to an inhuman situation." But in the curves of mirrors set around everybody only see a hook-Jewish nose. The notorious political correctness precludes from smashing those mirrors, well, because people like them.
Rocking the hatred is linked to an inferiority complex. Maybe it is fear? After all, we still remember as a "noble rage" once saved the country and half of its Jewish population from Nazism. Nowadays, Today, the radical Islam will play the card of hatred.
Many people see the path to peace through handover of the occupied (or liberated?) territories to the Arabs, despite having the Gaza experience where the southern Israel is being continuously fired from. So we must seek out another path and it will most likely be gradual.
On the one hand, "… Islam is a religion of a thousand-year tradition and dealing with it simply is impossible," but on the other hand, the constant activity is inherent of radical Islam only. And this is the result of a purposeful parenting a child with general acquiescence. Therefore, a six-year old Arab girl dreams about "killing all Jews."
Bet on hatred forms a stable symbiosis with the idea of world domination. This idea is like a cancer, you can remove the tumor of national socialism and world revolution which will cause formation of Islamic globalism metastases.
The Jews have always been an obstacle to the world domination. No one could but for stumble on them or get around this mysterious Jewish barrier. The radical Islam can not get around it too.
Is Israel at war? If it is, the supply of resources to the enemy in time of war is treason. Since its inception, Hamas declares: "Any Jew can be regarded as a military settler, and our duty is to kill him" and "our strategic goal is to liberate all of Palestine from the sea to the Jordan."
Ismail Haniyeh has stated that even if a Palestinian state will be established within the 1967 borders, Hamas will only declare a truce, but will never recognize Israel and will continue the jihad. And for Hezbollah, the elimination of Israel has always been one of the main problems. The Manifesto of Hezbollah states "our struggle will end only when Israel will be destroyed."
Explaining the Arab-Israeli conflict through religious intolerance of Islam is artificial. Indeed, for centuries in the Middle Ages within unlimited Arab domination, not only Judaism was not persecuted but even enjoyed the patronage and protection as the recognized religion of the Jews.
Arab immigrants are showing intolerance and aggressiveness in European countries. Instead of willingness to cooperate and participate in their own well-being, the are showing the position of disadvantaged dependents, in spite of the equality of rights with other citizens of their host countries.
The more effort and resources invested in their social system, the higher are their demands, increased hostility and alienation. Instead of willingness to fit into their host European Community, they openly show a desire to dominate. Even the relative material well-being does not reduce their aggressiveness, that makes you wonder about the nature of their aggressiveness.
The peoples' triumph broke out spontaneously on 11 September 11 2001 in New Jersey." The Arabs, citizens of America, poured into the square, openly rejoicing in the national tragedy of their adopted country. And while the "politically correct" Anglo-Saxons did not know what to do, less politically correct immigrants from Italy crashed their cars in the merry crowd and began shooting at it from the windows. And the crowd immediately dispersed.
There always have been"unnecessary people" everywhere, but their numbers and influence is different. And certainly not often they are regarded as "the most favored nation" as in the modern Western culture where the army of "the unnecessary" is growing and gaining strength on the background of general decline in natality and the extinction of the indigenous population.
Gradually the conflict in the minds of many people has been transformed into a war of civilizations …. But exactly what civilizations? It has become customary to say- East and West. But in the world presently there are at least four civilizations, no doubt related to the East – Hindu, Islamic, Confucian, and Japanese. In addition, there are Latin, Slavic-Orthodox, and African civilizations that do not belong to Western civilization.
Next, they begin to study the differences in the ways of development of Western and Eastern civilizations. If we assume that the Western civilazation is mainly focused on changing and improving the external world, performing scientific and technical progress based on intellectual potential, the Eastern civilization is focused on the improvement of man's inner world in order to achieve its harmony with the outside world. But then it is evident that Islamic civilization has clearly falls out of the Eastern civilization group.
Unfortunately, the Arabs found themselves outside the two main directions of development of Western and Eastern civilizations. You can analyze the way they passed, and I also devoted a portion of my time by writing "To the history of the origin and development of Islam." We find that it was unproductive direction: the aggressiveness is becoming the highest value, religious tolerance is weakening, there is regression of public morality. All the activity proved to be destructive.
But what it can give us today in search for constructive solutions? I think more importantly is not to understand why they have become such as they are but to ensure that they are not all "such as they are". Moreover, it may be that the majority of them is different.
The terrorists and street thugs do not represent the Muslim civilization. And they should be treated not as representatives of a civilization but as sheer criminals. There is no need to scare ourselves with war of civilizations.
We notice that neither gratuitous economic aid nor material donations have a chance to weaken the aggressiveness. On the contrary, they can only strengthen it.
We need to focus on people who loosened the roots of the national psychological characteristics of the Arabs. Psychologists name these features: lack of initiative; carelessness about the future, the cult of power in interpersonal relations and international relations, the confidence that justice is always on the side of the strong and any concession in dispute reflects the weakness of the surrenderer but not a voluntary confession of justice of the opponent. We can not find a way to cooperate constructively if we focus only on these features.
We can not accept the fact that all the Arabs and, moreover, all Muslims are guided by the principle: "what you can not catch up, overtake and subdue, must be destroyed." The destructive activity is not a fatal propensity of the Arabs which is confirmed by the Dubai's emirate – an example of thriving and constantly developing and improving modern resort.
Recent events prove the possibility of continuing the search for ways to constructively address the Middle East conflict. These events include the following. Recognition by judge Goldstone of an error in his report. Recognition of Israel's right to protect its water boundaries and illegal attempts to break the naval blockade, by Palmer commission appointed by the UN. Locking of the Palestinian unilateral declaration of the state initiatives by most countries in the UN Security Council.
Denial by the Palestinians to negotiate the security of Israel resulted in greater political pressure on Palestine than Israel. Almost all developed countries boycotted the conference on racism in Durban, which resulted in anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic campaign. Those who deliberately took part in it, once again revealed its true face, a frank racism and antisemitism. Those who are most active in trying to isolate Israel have isolated themselves.
After a stormy debate in the Parliament of Australia, it was decided on the inadmissibility of the demonstrations and campaigns calling for boycott against Israeli companies under the guise of protecting "human rights", the "struggle for freedom of speech" and "democracy." The Australian Parliament has determined such action to boycott Israeli goods as a "Nazi."
The West is tired of the Palestinian antics and provocations. Israel is increasingly perceived as a bastion of Western culture in the world of anti-culture. Only a few years ago the "University campuses" have ceased to be stands for the pro-Palestinian, ultra left groups, which until recently were dominated by extremely anti-Israel sentiment. Now, dozens of Jewish and pro-Israel groups openly enter into the debate with their opponents and gain points in the debate.
The world is gradually regaining legitimacy. Anyone who wants to invite extremists and supporters of terrorism have right to do so but should be aware that this sympathy has its price. Those who hoped that any defamation in the courts remain unanswered morphed into the persecuted from the persecutors. More and more politicians understand that Israel should be strengthened because it is a barrier to Arab aggression.
Objective reality is not so dark and sinister as it is being presented. In the next 100 years there will supposedly be only the old Middle East, with its deceptions, especially infidels, poverty and lawlessness. Therefore, Israel should seek to separate from the Arabs, if it is still possible. To do this, Israel must come up with a realistic map, in which the Arabs are Arabs and one continuous area (excluding Gaza), and in Israel – as fewer Arabs as possible, even "friendly".
If it turns out that Iran is close to producing its own nuclear bomb, it must be prevented at any cost. "Hezbollah" and its leader Nasrallah would be unable to lift the head without the Iranian support. If we add to this aid to Hamas, then we can say that Iran is waging war of aggression against Israel with hands of terrorist organizations. Under these circumstances, tacit consent to the production of nuclear weapons by Iran would be madness on its part.
Large-scale invasion of the U.S. and its allies in the Middle East, demonstrated by the experience of Iraq and later, Libya, is not in the interests of Israel. Therefore it must be prevented by Israel's pre-emptive strike on Iran. Although many consider it reasonable to wait "until America is ready on its own to strike on Iran."
By demonstrating the Arab and Western world its crushing operation in Iran, Israel can really prevent an aggression against Syria. Strengthening the Syrian regime and stunning the Iranian head, in the near future Israel would provide for a peaceful existence in a skilful diplomatic and geopolitical game.
The U.S. and NATO are interested in weakening Israel to then use it "as a bargaining chip to trade with the ordinary demoniac" anti-globalists "- like those who had replaced Gaddafi."
The term "demoniac" should be attributed not only to Ahmadinejad and Nasrallah, but Obama and Sarkozy. As of recent, the leaders of the "free world" behave more mischievous in a foreign policy than many dictators. Their intrusion into the zone of immediate interests of Israel through Syria and Iran will be the worst of scenarios for Israel.
Much of the ruling class and the clergy of Iran today set negatively not only toward its President. There is no doubt already about the fact of a complete failure of the Hommeyni revolution due to the failure of Hommeyni pseudo-messiah project. Shiite experience could not be exported in any state.
In case of assistance on Israel's part in elimination of Ahmadinejad, the possibility of a military-strategic alliance with his successor is possible. After all, Israel had been already an ally of Iran for many years. It's no secret that many Iranians would like to restore friendship with Israel.
"The project for the destruction of Israel" is carried out with financial support of Hamas from Saudi Arabia. Hatred of the Jews by the majority of Arabs living in the neighboring countries where there is no a single Jew is the result of extensive outreach funded mainly by the same Saudi Arabia. Hatred fuels the idea of world domination, a creation of the world caliphate. Hence, the rejection of imperial ambitions would deprive bet on hatred its sence.
One cannot avoid the problem of nationalism as the national democrats openly and strongly advocate for Israel. However, nationalism itself is flawed, since it is based on the preferences of its people, regardless of the position of other nations.
In other words, nationalism can be viewed as a group selfishness. If a nation in a multinational state, which dominates in the government, adheres to nationalist ideology, there is ethnic tension. Therefore, national concerns coincide with the state concerns only in a mono-national state.
A Jewish nationalism occupies a special place, as long as "the Torah provides for unification of the Jews to fulfil the mission of training other peoples to overcome ethnic differences." In other words, Jewish nationalism seeks to do away with a nationalism.

Pacific Northwest and California Wildfires: PCI Urges Residents to Seek Safety and Contact Insurers
Homeowners and Renters Can Be Confident Homes are Protected from Covered Theft or Loss During Evacuation
OLYMPIA, Wash – August 24, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — With wildfires raging across ten Northwestern states and California, the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI) is encouraging residents asked to evacuate to save receipts for expenses incurred and contact their insurance companies as soon as possible to begin receiving assistance if their home is damaged.
Contact Insurer
"Evacuating from a wildfire can be overwhelming. Once you're in a safe place, your first step toward recovery is to contact your insurer through their toll free phone number. That will begin the recovery process and help homeowners and renters know what to," said Kenton Brine, PCI assistant vice president. "Residents evacuated in California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington should remember to save their receipts for hotels and meals, as these expenses may be eligible for reimbursement if your home is damaged."
The National Interagency Fire Center reports 1.5 million acres are charred currently from active fires and 7.2 million acres have burned in 2015 so far with two months of high risk wildfire conditions remaining. The National Fire Preparedness Level is at 5, the highest, currently and major fires are burning in 10 states. Due to intense and widespread fire activity, the number of homes and structures destroyed or damaged cannot yet be accurately calculated. Three firefighters in Washington State lost their lives fighting the Twisp River fire on August 19.
"Property owners and renters can be confident that insurance offers protection while they are away if they are evacuated. Unfortunately looting is being reported during these periods of evacuation putting homeowners at more unease," said Brine. "A standard homeowners policy will cover damage or loss of property if such events unfold, so homeowners should follow all evacuation orders, and not stay in an active fire zone to protect replaceable valuables."

I saw a story that an LG Smart TV had been infected with ransomware over Christmas. I was intrigued that there might be a webOS virus out there!
It turns out that this was an Android TV. But apparently, the (former) owner had got advice from LG on performing a factory reset. In the video, he states that it's a 2012 model - webOS TVs came out in 2014. So, it occurred to me that if a certain button combination could reset a 2012 TV, perhaps the same or similar would work on later model sets, despite the different S/W.
The factory reset code is to hold Settings, then hold Channel Down, then release Settings, then release Channel Down (this is on the unit, not the remote).
Maybe this could be useful, maybe not.

Makers of Kona beer sued because it's not brewed in Hawaii
The bottles might sport hula dancers, surfers and big waves but two California residents say the company that owns Kona Brewing Co. is misleading shoppers into believing they're buying beer brewed in Hawaii.
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court of California Northern District, Sara Cilloni and Simone Zimmer allege that Craft Brew Alliance misleads consumers about the true origin of beers bearing the Kona Brewing Co. brand, reports West Hawaii Today.
In the suit, the plaintiffs say the company's use of hula dancers, surfers, the Kilauea volcano, Waikiki beach, and other images and phrases clearly associated with the Aloha State are deceiving customers into paying more for the craft ales.
The names of the beers such as Big Wave Golden Ale, Castaway IPA, Fire Rock Pale Ale and Longboard Island Lager also allegedly give off a deceptively Hawaiian vibe.
Despite the bottle imagery that hints at Hawaiian origin, nothing on the packaging makes it clear as to where the beer is actually brewed. According to the company's website, the fifth-largest U.S. craft brewer makes beer at facilities in New Hampshire, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington state-- and any beer sold in the upper 48 is brewed at one of these facilities.
However, Kona Brewing Co. does operate a flagship brew house in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii, but that facility only produces around 12,000 barrels of beer annually.
Although most of their beers are not brewed in Hawaii, according to Kona's website, the beer brewed at partner breweries is made with hops, malt and proprietary yeast from the island state. The mineral levels of the water used are also reportedly adjusted to replicate the water used in Hawaii. The website also claims that a sample from each batch of beer is sent to the Kailua-Kona brewery for sensory evaluation.
The lawsuit is seeking class action status and unspecified damages for Kona purchasers in the state of California-- and nationwide-- over four years.
Kona isn't the only beermaker to come under fire for allegedly deceptive marketing practices. In Dec. 2015, a New York City man sued Foster's beer for allegedly deceiving him into thinking the company's beer brewed in Texas was actually made in Australia. And last summer, Anheuser-Busch agreed to settle a $50 million class action suit over allegations that it fooled customers into thinking Beck's beer was from Germany when the U.S. bottles are actually made in St. Louis now.
Craft Brew Alliance says it does not comment on pending litigation.

Click Here To Visit (Live Jasmin Latina)
Live Jasmin Latina
To me, it's always amazing to go to Live Jasmin Latina (or any section of the webcam site) and see professional, smoking hot photos of every chick. Instead of a misleading screencap you get a hot picture that shows you just how beautiful the babe is. Even better, when you mouse over the pic you usually get a little video preview of the girl. As you browse the pics you can see if the girl is in a private chat, if she's new to the site, and if she's available for a bit of fun flirting before you choose to go private with her.
Beauty is plentiful at Live Jasmin. It's actually what the site is known for. The girls here do tend to be more of the studio type (as opposed to chicks doing it at home) but to me that means you're just getting to admire far more beauty. Seriously, check out any of the chicks online when you visit the site and you'll likely be astounded by how good they look. Plus, I can never really tell that they're in a studio, to be honest, so it doesn't matter to me.
For the most part the shows at Live Jasmin work on a per minute basis. The price varies, usually depending on how hot the girl is how much demand there is for her. The sexier she is the more you'll pay. Some shows have the option to use a VibraToy where you control the pleasure that her pussy receives and those are tons of fun.
Review Pros
- Gorgeous models
- Lots of girls online
- VibraToy shows
Review Cons
- Can be expensive

I Took a Break From City Life With a Hiking Trip: Here's What I Packed
Urban Outfitters
L.A. has a lot to offer in terms of outdoor experiences. There are beautiful beaches and iconic hiking trails in Runyon Canyon Park or up to Griffith Observatory, but nowhere can you escape the sprawling city. So when Columbia Sportswear invited me to take a break from city life with a weekend adventure in Ojai, I was on board to get back into the great outdoors.
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, regularly camping, kayaking, and even dabbling in some rock climbing and white-water rafting. But it's been over a decade since I've called myself a true Seattleite, and I've long since stowed away any wilderness gear in various boxes in my parent's house. When it came time to decide how to pack for a hiking trip—that included other activities like bike riding and outdoor yoga—I was grateful Columbia provided me with gear to test out in the environments it's designed for.
So whether you're up for blazing the trails or blazing s'mores by the campfire, these staples will ensure you're comfortable and ready for the elements when you create your own outdoor adventure. Keep scrolling to see the key pieces that will get you through any hiking trip.
A lightweight wicking layer will keep you comfortable in most climates. Throw on for some added warmth or cooling protection from the sun.
Available in sizes XS to XL.
When the weather's iffy, an ultralight layer is great to have on hand (and is easily packed away into its own security to save space). This jacket's repellency technology will protect you from sudden showers, while its sweat-activated super-cooling interior fabric will ensure you don't overheat.
Available in sizes XS to XL.
For more intense conditions, this waterproof jacket is surprisingly breathable—and also reversible when you prefer a softer textured fabrication to switch out with its sleek shell.
Available in sizes XS to XL.
A white T-shirt is a classic to have on hand no matter where you are. For camping and hiking especially, a trail-running tee featuring sweat-wicking stretch construction is guaranteed to keep you cool as you push yourself on the trails. I opted for a T-shirt on our bike ride through the orange groves of Ojai to save my shoulders from getting sunburned.
Available in sizes XS to XL.
For hotter days or more sweat-inducing activities, a sleeveless tank—also featuring moisture-wicking fabric with comfort stretch—is a smart option. This exact top served me well from Sun Salutation to Shavasana when we practiced yoga in the mountains.
Available in sizes XS to XL.
A long-sleeve T-shirt is always wise when you're looking for a bit more protection from the wind or sun or when temperatures begin to drop in the evening.
Available in sizes XS to XL.
Columbia promises these leggings will become the new cornerstone of your cozy, casual wardrobe, and with its flattering design and black and charcoal colorways, it's easy to see why. Whether you're logging miles or lounging fireside, the comfy fit keeps you feeling your best.
Available in sizes XS to XL.
A lightweight short is a must for hot weekends, trail running, and activities when you're bound to get your feet wet.
Available in sizes XS to XL.
Save your legs from nicks and scrapes while hiking with these easy pull-on pants that offer UPF 50 sun protection.
Available in sizes XS to XL.
Of course a tough (and stylish) hiking boot is a must on any wilderness adventure. To get the most use out of your pair, choose a durable style that can stand up to varied terrain and has a cushioned insole to support you wherever the trails take you.
Available in sizes 5 to 12.
A durable sandal is another smart choice for a weekend in the wilderness, especially if your activities involve water or even if you just want a break from your boots while back at camp.
Available in sizes 5 to 12.
A lightweight trail bag just big enough to store your layers, water, and other hiking essentials is a must.
For activities where you don't want to carry too much, like bike riding, a nylon drawstring bag is great to have on hand to carry your bare necessities.
I packed everything I needed for my hiking trip (and many a trip thereafter) in this roller bag that doubles as a backpack. With multiple compartments to keep everything organized, I could easily find everything I needed once we hit the road and could separate my dirty hiking boots from my clean clothes.

Swiss Meringue Buttercream
Luxurious, velvety texture. Lightly sweet with a smooth buttery flavor. That's what makes Swiss Meringue one of the most requested frostings in bakeries throughout the world! Learn how to make this amazing buttercream yourself by following this simple recipe tutorial below. Enjoy!
To begin this recipe, we must first heat the egg whites and melt the granulated sugar. To do this, we must place the egg whites and sugar in a double boiler. If you do not have a double boiler, place the whites and sugar in a heat-safe bowl and place over a pot of simmering water.
Pour 12 ounces of granulated sugar in a heat-safe bowl or the top pan of a double boiler, if using.
Next, add 7 ounces of egg whites to the granulated sugar.
Place the heat-safe bowl over the pot of simmering water and stir egg white/sugar mixture constantly.
Heat the egg white/sugar mixture to 140 degrees. Test the temperature of the mixture with a candy thermometer.
Pour the hot mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
Using the whip attachment, whip the egg white mixture on medium high speed until meringue is light and fluffy. Meringue is finished mixing when the meringue's ripples hold their shape when the mixer is turned off and meringue is at the "soft Peak" stage. Let meringue cool to near room temperature.
While meringue is cooling, cut 16 ounces of cold unsalted butter and 4 ounces of cold salted butter into small pieces. Also set aside 4 ounces of high ratio shortening. Leave at room temperature until ready to use.
Note: You may use all butter for this recipe instead of shortening. Shortening allows for the buttercream to be more stable and hold up a little better in warm weather.
Remove whip attachment and attach paddle.
Once meringue has reached room temperature, it's time to begin adding the butter and high ratio shortening. Mentally divide the butter and shortening into three parts. Add the first third of the butter to the meringue and mix on "stir" speed on the mixer for about 20 seconds. Add the second part of butter to the buttercream and mix on "low" speed for about 30 seconds. And finally add the last part and gradually increase the mixer speed to "medium high" speed. Mix buttercream until butter pieces are well blended and buttercream is light and fluffy. Be careful not to over mix!
Next, add 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract. Scrape sides of bowl and blend on medium high speed until well mixed.
Now you have a beautiful batch of silky Swiss Meringue Buttercream! Swiss Meringue is a non-crusting buttercream that smoothes beautifully. It is also sturdy enough for piping on cakes and cupcakes, and also will hold up well under fondant. If this frosting will be made in warmer weather, keep any goodies decorated with Swiss Meringue Buttercream in a cool environment - Swiss Meringue melts easily! Enjoy!

The Hidden And Unknown Benefits Of Geriatric Massage
Perhaps you have noticed lately that your aging mother or father has seemed depressed and lonely lately. Or maybe you have noticed that they lack an appetite, and that they are in pain all the time. If your mom or dad is mobility challenged, this may be a bigger issue than you realize. And it may continue to get worse if you don't do something about it sooner rather than later.
It is often difficult to tell if an elderly person is suffering from depression, as the signs and symptoms may be subtle. There are so many health conditions that affect the aging population that loneliness and depression can pale by comparison. Perhaps your mom is starting to forget things, like leaving the car running with the door open when she is inside making a sandwich. Perhaps she is forgetting small simple things, like where she left her keys or where she parked her car. She may even be getting lost walking around the neighborhood.
When an elderly person starts suffering from dementia, this is much more concerning to her than it is to you. Symptoms of dementia can very easily lead to depression, as there is little that can be done to help someone who has dementia, and there is no cure.
Cancer is another common disease of aging, and it is one of the leading causes of death among the elderly. Again, as a condition with no real cure, this can lead to depression all by itself. Then you take into account the fact that you don't get to visit as much as you used to, and that the grandkids have all grown and have their own extremely busy lives so they don't visit anymore either, and you have a recipe for sadness, loneliness, and depression.
Enter geriatric massage. Massage therapy by itself has many benefits for patients suffering from all types of conditions. However, depression and loneliness are two conditions most helped by massage therapy. In addition to providing symptom relief for depression, the companionship that can be provided by the massage therapist, who listens to your mom and has meaningful conversations, means that this type of therapy can go far beyond just the physical. Mental and emotional stimulation can help ward off depression and loneliness, and this is a big part of senior massage.
Another condition that can be greatly benefited by massage for the elderly is Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Aside from the depression and loneliness that these people feel on a regular basis, there are other symptoms of these conditions that can be helped by massage for the elderly. One of the most common symptoms experiences by both of these groups is agitation. Verbal abuse of caregivers, as well as pacing, wandering, and resisting caregivers is very common in Alzheimer's disease. With dementia, aggressiveness is often seen in patients.
Geriatric massage was successful in reducing these expressions of aggression, displayed by both Alzheimer's patients and dementia patients. In dementia patients, the intellectual and emotional decline that is so common to them was also reduced over the course of the senior massage treatment.
Last, of course, are cancer patients. In addition to the depression that is so much more common and severe in these patients, geriatric massage can help with the side effects from chemotherapy treatments. Sleeplessness, pain, and nausea were all reduced in studies where cancer patients were provided with massage therapy. While massage for the elderly is not a treatment or a cure for cancer, it can be greatly beneficial as an adjunctive therapy.
So, if you see your mom or dad in any of these situations, you may want to consider adding geriatric massage to their regular routine. No matter what, it will help them feel better in some way, often by reducing pain, although there are so many other benefits to senior massage, many of which are not completely understood. If your mom or dad is suffering from depression, anxiety, pain, restlessness, or mental health conditions, you may want to consider the simple addition of senior massage to their weekly routine.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure
Sunday, July 1
He's a loner, a rebel and—after this wildly creative 1985 comedy — a bona fide movie star. Pee-wee Herman (Paul Reubens, above) proved he wasn't just a children's show icon with this hilariously watchable story about innocent Pee-wee's bike being stolen. That criminal act sets the bow tie – clad dweeb on a cross-country adventure to get it back. Along the way, he meets an assortment of colorful characters, from kindhearted Dottie (Elizabeth Daily) to unforgettable trucker Large Marge (Alice Nunn). The wacky movie has impressive behind-the-scenes talent too: Tim Burton (who would go on to make Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands) directed, and the late Saturday Night Live star Phil Hartman cowrote the screenplay.
21 Jump Street
Seasons 1–2, Sunday, July 1
You'd better be ready to…jump! To 21 Jump Street, that is. The 1987–91 series, about a group of four young cops who infiltrate high schools and other teen hangouts to take a bite out of crime, helped launch the careers of Johnny Depp, Richard Grieco, Holly Robinson Peete and many others. (Peete even sang that catchy theme song!) Here's one more good reason to scope out the show's first two seasons: You can enjoy the police procedural's procession of then-little-known guest stars — such as Josh Brolin, Blair Underwood, Jason Priestley, Christina Applegate and even Brad Pitt — before they graduated to the big time.

Distant from his own children and frustrated by his Michigan neighborhood's demographic changes, he has one source of joy: that titular 1972 Ford, which local gang members are eager to steal. Filled with evocative reflections on race, family, aging and more, this 2008 movie, which Eastwood also directed, is poignant and thought-provoking.

What's New
Edge of Heaven
Seasons 1–2, Saturday, June 30
If you recognize the title as sharing the name of a Wham! song, you're already on your way to enjoying this quirky dramedy about the owner-operators of a 1980s-themed British bed-and-breakfast. Judy Taylor-Chatterjee (Camille Coduri), a George Michael fanatic, runs the guesthouse with her husband, Tandeep (Nitin Kundra), son Alfie (Blake Harrison) and daughter Ann-Marie (Laura Checkley), who used to be connected to the mob but isn't anymore. Most of the six episodes center on Alfie's heartbreak over losing Carly (Justine Cain, above, with Harrison), who leaves him at the altar for another man. Maybe a careless whisper is to blame?
Seasons 1–5, Available now
An idealistic young wizard enters the medieval kingdom of Camelot, despite the fact that magic has been banned throughout the land by its cruel ruler, Uther Pendragon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Anthony Head).

Do you have a secret fantasy or fetish or paraphilias? If so, chances are, you might be a little hesitant to open up about it. For a long time, if you preferred anything outside of traditional "vanilla" sex, you certainly didn't talk about it out loud. Even sex toys weren't openly used. But now, in the age of online access to anything and everything you could wish for, any stigma that once existed has been virtually eradicated, and it's time to explore the worlds of kink – and sex toys are the perfect place to start.
Paraphilias are sexual interests in objects, situations, or individuals that are atypical.
The American Psychiatric Association, in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition, draws a distinction between paraphilias (which it describes as atypical sexual interests) and paraphilic disorders (which additionally require the experience of distress or impairment in functioning).
There are all kinds of sex toys you can use to express your kinks – and they don't even have to be kink-centric. For example, if you've got a pegging fantasy, just look through the dildos section when you go to buy sex toys. Any dildos, dongs, or strap-ons can easily do the trick; a top quality adult sex toys shop will have a wide variety to choose from. If you're looking for some extra stimulation, check out some dildos that double as vibrators. Just pick one that fits your needs, pick up some personal lubricants to keep things hot and wet, and you'll be ready to go. Another common, and related, kink involves bondage, or BDSM. This fetish can include anything from simple domination play to whips, chains, and a wide variety of other sex toys. Although bondage fantasies can be acted out without any accessories, domination-oriented sex toys are some of the most common and widely used on the market. Instead of just spanking, try a leather whip or riding crop. Top quality adult sex toys shops and websites offer extensive selections of other toys like restraints (in everything from hot leather to sexy animal-print styles), masks, and bodysuits to fulfill all of your fantasies. And if you're new to kinks and sex toys and you're hesitant to jump in headfirst, there are plenty of beginner-style versions that will keep you feeling comfortable while opening sexual doors that you never knew existed.
In his 2009 book, Anil Aggrawal compiled a list of 547 terms describing paraphilic sexual interests, kinds of psychosexual disorder. He cautioned, however, that "not all these paraphilias have necessarily been seen in clinical setups. This may not be because they do not exist, but because they are so innocuous they are never brought to the notice of clinicians or dismissed by them. Like allergies, sexual arousal may occur from anything under the sun, including the sun.
List of Paraphilias Activities/Behaviors
Remember most of them are sexual disorders while very few of them are sexual fetishes which couples enjoy to kill intercourse boredom. It is given to inform the readers that if you find someone showing inclinations towards any of these fetishes (paraphilias) you should start maintaining distance from such person.

Hackers figured out how to bring down piece of the 911 dispatch framework in Baltimore on Sunday morning, and administrators needed to process calls physically amid the blackout.
A report from Baltimore Sun uncovers that the cyberattack was propelled on Sunday at 8:30 AM, and 911 and 311 crisis administrations were changed to manual mode until the point that 2 AM on Monday.
It was only "a limited breach," Frank Johnson, cheif information officer in the Mayor's Office of Information Technology, was cited as saying, with just the PC supported dispatch (CAD) framework pushed disconnected. The FBI said it gave specialized help, and an examination is under approach to figure out what precisely happened and who may be in charge of the assault.
"Rather than subtle elements of approaching guests looking for crisis bolster being handed-off to dispatchers electronically, they were handed-off by call focus bolster staff physically," Johnson said.
Investigation is under way .
Police powers say no lull was recorded as far as reacting to crisis calls, and city authorities clarify that no different frameworks were focused by the assault, however extra servers were taken disconnected trying to avoid additionally harm.
The CAD framework assumes an especially imperative part for 911 dispatchers, as it gives information on guests, including the area on the guide and individual subtle elements. This considerably decreases reaction times since administrators can interface with the nearest crisis responders speedier, while additionally showing further information on account of cell phone clients who don't have the foggiest idea about their area.
The blackout occurred even under the least favorable conditions conceivable time for the Baltimore specialists, as a huge number of individuals walked against firearm brutality in the United States the previous end of the week.
By the looks of things, no information was traded off and the Hackers were especially inspired by bringing the servers down, however it stays to be checked whether law authorization figures out how to find who propelled the assault. The police say that additional information will be given at a later time, as any points of interest made open right now could trade off the examination.

[Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers from "The Sinner" Season 1, including the ending.]
After "The Sinner" cast its "formidable, mysterious woman" with Carrie Coon, the USA Network series didn't have to look far when it needed to cast an older man for its next season. The actress' husband, Tracy Letts – the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, screenwriter, and Tony-winning actor – has joined the cast, opposite Bill Pullman, in Season 2.
Created by Derek Simonds and based on German author Petra Hammesfahr's book of the same name, Season 1 of "The Sinner" revolved around Det. Harry Ambrose (Pullman) helping Cora Tannetti (Jessica Biel) uncover nearly unimaginable past traumas, which helped reduce her 30-year prison sentence for murder to second-degree manslaughter. In the second season, Ambrose travels to his hometown in rural New York to investigate the case of an 11-year-old boy who claims to have killed his parents but has no motive.

According to USA Network, "He's pitted against those who'll stop at nothing to protect its secrets – and a mysterious woman who proves to be a complicated, enigmatic piece to this haunting puzzle." In addition, "The Leftovers" and "Fargo" star Coon, whose casting was announced earlier this month, will play a character named Vera, who is described as "a formidable, mysterious woman who struggles between upholding the ideals of the community she leads and fulfilling her own desires." Could these women be one and the same?
At an Emmy For Your Consideration event for the first season of "The Sinner" on Thursday night, Biel and Pullman sat down with Variety's Jenelle Riley to discuss the show. After screening the pilot, the panel revealed a couple of first-look photos from the set of the second season, which is currently shooting.
"This is probably… the first or second day of shooting. That's [director Antonio Campos], obviously," Biel said while regarding the first photo (above). Although Biel does not return on screen for Season 2, she's still a producer for the series and actively involved in the process of making the show.
"The location is The Cobblestone, the pub [run by] the character Jack, who is an old friend of Ambrose," she said. "You'll start to unravel the big story between the two of them, a lot of history because they're from the same place. And Jack is intertwined with the other female characters."
Pullman, who often spoke of his character Ambrose in the first person during the FYC event, gave a few more details about Jack.
"[Jack,] this guy played by Tracy Letts, we're friends when we were in high school. Then I was the guy who left the little town, and he stayed and he took over his father's restaurant called The Cobblestone," said Pullman.
"I've come back to help his daughter who is now a detective on the local police department just starting out. And this terrible incident has happened where a child has been discovered in a hotel room, parents are dead, the child admits to having killed them," he added. "The shock of that, the trauma of that, begins to ripen through the whole community. You realize the layers and layers of dissembling and protectiveness and everything. So this is, and Ambrose is trying to stay on the rails for a little bit. He's gone through this experience with her [Cora Tannetti] and he's cleaned up his act a little bit. Trying hard."
Pullman added, "There's a woman also who arrives on the scene played by Carrie Coon, who is Tracy's wife in [real] life. So it's really interesting to have the two of them on set. They're both great theater actors. I know them from the theater."
Biel said, "This season as well will sort of peel the onion of Ambrose even more to really get to the bottom of his psychology, at least a little bit more."
After revealing so much, Pullman didn't have more to say about the second photo (below), which only features his character standing in front of the camera. When Riley noted that he looks serious in the photo, he added, "Yeah, looking like, 'Where is the director? This guy is carrying a heavy camera. I can't stay here for very long.'"
Although Biel said her character does not appear in the second season, she didn't reject the idea that there was still more to tell in Cora's story.
"We did talk a lot about does Cora come back for Season 2 and what is the relationship because that's what was interesting to me," she said. "What happens when a woman goes through that? What is life like after that when the only person really in her life that she can connect with, even besides her husband, is the detective who got her out of this thing? But we just couldn't do it this particular season."
The first installment of "The Sinner" was the No. 1 new cable series of 2017 and earned two Golden Globe nominations and two Critics' Choice nominations. Season 2 will return sometime in August.
