General information about wines from Chablis, Burgundy, France
Best wine supplier in Philippines discusses wine related topics
About Chablis Wine in Philippines
Chablis Wine Information
Chablis are grown in a very flinty soil – visitors to the area are often surprised by the rocky quality of this landscape. It is this "Kimmeridgian" limestone that gives Chablis its distinct flavor.
Chablis was first "wined" back in the 500s – a monestary was built there, and invading Romans brought along wine whereever they went. When Charlemagne set up a base here, it was very important that wine be offered to visiting guests. By the 1400s Chablis was a well known region, but it shortly fell to war and fighting in the 1600s. Just as it recovered from these, it was hit by the phylloxera troubles that hit just about every other region of the continent. It was set aside as a Appellation d'origine around 1937 – 1938.
Chablis has been going through a planting bloom in the last century. In 1955 there were only 1,360 acres planted with vines. In modern times, that number is closer to 12,000 acres. The four appellations in Chablis are based on the type of land the vines are grown on. There are:
- Chablis Grand Cru: the north bank of the Serein river
- Chablis Premier Cru: south- and west-facing hills
- Chablis: north- and east-facing hills
- Petit Chablis: flat ground
There are only seven Grand Cru vineyards:
Les Clos
There are around 40 Premier Crus, with some smaller vineyards falling under the name of a larger group. For example, Chapelot, Pied d'Aloue, and Cote de Brechain all fall under the name 'Montee de Tonnerre'.
|A Premier Chablis should be aged for around 10 years, and served around 52°F (11°C). Chablis go well with seafood (especially oysters) and light poultry. Chablis are typically light, crisp, fruity, and floral. They have a bit of a steely edge to their flavor.

by religious zeal. The Jews, powerful and active in exile, had seduced the mind of Dunaan, prince of the Homerites. They urged him to retaliate the persecution inflicted by the imperial laws on their unfortunate brethren: some Roman merchants were injuriously treated; and several Christians of Negra* were honoured with the crown of martyrdom.f The churches of Arabia implored the protection of the Abyssinian monarch. The Negus passed the Eed Sea with a fleet and army, deprived the Jewish proselyte of his kingdom and life, and extinguished a race of princes, who had ruled above two thousand years the sequestered region of myrrh and frankincense. The conqueror immediately an
remained subject to the parent country. After the fall of Jerusalem, many of the dispersed Jews fixed their abodes in Arabia, and formed several petty independent states. Kindred religion preserved relations of amity between them and their neighbours, the Homerites. But, when the latter, after the conversion of Abyssinia by Frumentius, embraced the Christian faith, jealousy and aversion succeeded to cordiality and friendship. In the time of Justinian (Bruce says Justin) an Abyssinian named Karwaryat or Aryat, by the Arabians, and Aretas by the Greeks, was the Christian chief in Najiran. Seeking probably to gain proselytes to his creed, he fell into the hands of Pbineas, the Jewish king of Yathreb, and with ninety companions or disciples, perished in a pit of fire. His son, of the same name, and the Christians of Najiran, appealed to the Greek emperor for protection and redress. Justinian, unable to spare any forces for that purpose, sent his embassy to Caled, the Nagasch of Abyssinia, who ordered Abreha, his governor in Yemen, to employ the army, under his command, in this holy war. Phineas was defeated and the Christians secured from farther persecution. But no Jewish kingdoms were destroyed. They and the Homerites still subsisted till they were overthrown by Persia and then subdued by Mahomet. This narrative combines consistently in one, what the Greek histories, which Gibbon followed in different parts of this chapter, divide into two perplexed and contradictory transactions. The name of Aretas is introduced by thoAi :n such distant situations and opposite circumstances, that it appears to designate two separate persons. Yet there can have been but one. The Byzantine authors evidently wrote what they heard vaguely reported, while in Abyssinia authentic records were kept.—Ed.]
* The city of Negra, or Nag'ran, in Yemen, is surrounded with palm-trees, and stands in the high-road between Saana the capital, and Mecca; from the former ten, from the latter twenty, days' journey of a caravan of camels. (Abulfeda, De&cript. Arabiae, p. 52.)
+ The martyrdom of St. Arethas, prince of Negra, and his three hundred and forty companions, is embellished in the legends of Metaphrastes and Nicephorus Callistus, copied by Baronius, (a.d. 522, No. 22—66; A.d. 523, No. 16—29,) and refuted, with obscure diligence, by Basnage, (Hist. des Juifs, tom. xii, 1. 8, c. 2, p. 333—348,) who investigates the state of the Jews in Arabia and Ethiopia.
nounced the victory of the gospel, requested an orthodox patriarch, and so warmly professed his friendship to the Roman empire, that Justinian. was flattered hy the hope of diverting the silk-trade through the channel of Abyssinia, and of exciting the forces of Arabia against the Persian king. Nonnosus, descended from a family of ambassadors, was named by the emperor to execute this important commission. He wisely declined the shorter, but more dangerous road through the sandy deserts of Nubia; ascended the Nile, embarked on the Red Sea, and safely landed at the African port of Adulis. From Adulis to the royal city of Axume is no more than fifty leagues, in a direct line; but the winding passes of the mountains detained the ambassador fifteen days; and as he traversed the forests, he saw, and vaguely computed, about five thousand wild elephants. The capital, according to his report, was large and populous; and the village of Axume is still conspicuous by the regal coronations, by the ruins of a Christian temple, and by sixteen or seventeen obelisks inscribed with Grecian characters.* But the Negus gave audience in the open field, seated on a lofty chariot, which was drawn by four elephants superbly caparisoned, and surrounded by his nobles and musicians. He was clad in a linen garment and cap, holding in his hand two javelins and a light shield; and, although his nakedness was imperfectly covered, he displayed the barbaric pomp of gold chains, collars, and bracelets, richly adorned with pearls and precious stones. The ambassador of Justinian knelt; the Negus raised him from the ground, embraced Nonnosus, kissed the seal, perused the letter, accepted the Roman alliance, and, brandishing his weapons, denounced implacable war against the worshippers of fire. But the proposal of the silk-trade was eluded; and notwithstanding the assurances, and perhaps the wishes, of the Abyssinians, these hostile menaces evaporated without effect. The Homerites
* Alvarez (in Kamusio, tom. i, fol. 219, vers. 221, vers.) saw the flourishing state of Axume in the year 1520—luogo molto buono o grande. It was ruined in the same century by the Turkish invasion. No more than one hundred houses remain; but the memory of its past greatness is preserved by the regal coronation. (Ludolph. Hist. et Comment . 1. 2, c. 11.) [Axume was the Greek form of Agzaab, which, in the language of the shepherd tribes, denoted their chief town. (Bruce ii . 387.) It was burnt in 1535 by the Moors of Adel, against whom David, then king of Abyssinia, carried on an unsuccessful war.—Ed.]
were unwilling to abandon their aromatic groves, to explore a sandy desert, and to encounter, after all their fatigues, a formidable nation from whom they had never received any personal injuries. Instead of enlarging his conquests, the king of Ethiopia was incapable of defending his possessions. Abrahah, the slave of a Koman merchant of Adulis, assumed the sceptre of the Homerites; the troops of Africa were seduced by the luxury of the climate ; and Justinian solicited the friendship of the usurper, who honoured, with a slight tribute, the supremacy of his prince. After a long series of prosperity, the power of Abrahah was overthrown before the gates of Mecca; his children were despoiled by the Persian conqueror; and the Ethiopians were finally expelled from the continent of Asia. This narrative of obscure and remote events is not foreign to the decline and fall of the Roman empire. If a Christian power had been maintained in Arabia, Mahomet must have been crushed in his cradle, and Abyssinia would have prevented a revolution which has changed the civil and religious state of the world.*
CHAPTER XLIII.—Rebellions Op Africa.—Restoration Op The
The review of the nations from the Danube to the Nile has exposed on every side the weakness of the Romans; and our wonder is reasonably excited that they should presume to enlarge an empire, whose ancient limits they were incapable of defending. But the wars, the conquests, and the
* The revolutions of Yemen in the sixth century must be collected from Procopius (Persic. 1 . 1, c. 19, 20); Theophanes Byzant. (apud Phot. cod. 63, p. 80); St. Theophanes (in Chronograph, p. 144,145. 188, 189. 206, 207, who is full of strange blunders); Pocock (Specimen Hist . Arab. p. 62. 65); D'Herbelot (Bibliot. Orientale, p. 12. 477); and Sale's Preliminary Discourse and Koran (c. 105). The revolt of Abrahah is mentioned by Procopius; and his fall, though clouded "with miracles, is an historical fact. [Resting on statements so much at variance with more authentic records, the contingency by which Gibbon supposed that the success of Mahomet might have been pre
triumphs, of Justinian, are the feeble and pernicious efforti of old age, which exhaust the remains of strength, and accelerate the decay of the powers of life. He exulted in the glorious act of restoring Africa and Italy to the republic; but the calamities which followed the departure of Belisarius betrayed the impotence of the conqueror, and accomplished the ruin of those unfortunate countries.
From his new acquisitions, Justinian expected that hia avarice, as well as pride, shov'd be richly gratified. A rapacious minister of the finances closely pursued the footsteps of Belisarius; and as the old registers of tribute had been burnt by the Vandals, he indulged his fancy in a liberal calculation and arbitrary assessment of the wealth of Africa.* The increase of taxes, which were drawn away by a distant sovereign, and a general resumption of the patrimony or crown lands, soon dispelled the intoxication of the public joy: but the emperor was insensible to the modest complaints of the people, till he was awakened and alarmed by the clamours of military discontent. Many of the Roman soldiers had married the widows and daughters of the Vandals. As their own, by the double right of conquest and inheritance, they claimed the estates which Genseric had assigned to his victorious troops. They heard with disdain the cold and selfish representations of their officers, that the liberality of Justinian had raised them from a savage or servile condition; that they were already enriched by the spoils of Africa, the treasure, the slaves, and the moveables, of the vanquished barbarians; and that the ancient and lawful patrimony of the emperors would be applied only to the support of that government on which their own safety and reward must ultimately depend. The
vented was quite ideal. The progress of the Arabian is attributed by Bruce to other causes, which will be considered in their proper place. —Ed.] * For the troubles of Africa, I neither have nor
desire another guide than Procopius, whose eye contemplated the image, and whose ear collected the reports, of the memorable events ol his own times. In the second book of the Vandalic war he relates the revolt of Stotzaa (c. 14—24), the return of Belisarius (c. 15), the victory of Germanus (c. 16—18—), the second administration of Solomon (c. 19—21), the government of Sergius (c. 22, 23), of Areobindus (c. 24), the tyranny and death of Gontharis (c. 25—28); nor can I discern any symptoms of flattery or malevolence in his variou* portraits.
mutiny was secretly inflamed by a thousand soldiers, for the most part Heruli, who had imbibed the doctrines, and were instigated by the clergy, of the Arian sect; and the cause of perjury and rebellion was sanctified by the dispensing powers of fanaticism. The Arians deplored the ruin of their church, triumphant above a century in Africa; and they were justly provoked by the laws of the conqueror, which interdicted the baptism of their children, and the exercise of all religious worship. Of the Vandals chosen by Belisarius, the far greater part, in the honours of the Eastern service, forgot their country and religion. But a generous band of four hundred obliged the mariners, when they were in sight of the isle of Lesbos, to alter their course: they touched on Peloponnesus, ran ashore on a desert coast of Africa, and boldly erected, on mount Aurasius, the standard of independence and revolt. "While the troops of the province disclaimed the commands of their superiors, a conspiracy was formed at Carthage against the life of Solomon, who filled with honour the place of Belisarius; and the Arians had piously resolved to sacrifice the tyrant at the foot of the altar, during the awful mysteries of the festival of Easter. Fear or remorse restrained the daggers of the assassuis, but the patience of Solomon emboldened their discontent; and at the end of ten days, a furious sedition was kindled in the circus, which desolated Africa above ten years. The pillage of the city, and the indiscriminate slaughter of its inhabitants, were suspended only by darkness, sleep, and intoxication: the governor, with seven companions, among whom was the historian Procopius, escaped to Sicily: two-thirds of the army were involved in the guilt of treason; and eight thousand insurgents, assembling in the fields of Bulla, elected Stotzas for their chief, a private soldier, who possessed, in a superior degree, the virtues of a rebel. Under the mask of freedom, his eloquence could lead, or at least impel, the passions of his equals. He raised himself to a level with Belisarius, and the nephew of the emperor, by daring to encounter them in the field; and the victorious generals were compelled to acknowledge that Stotzas deserved a purer cause and a more legitimate command. Vanquished in battle, he dexterously employed the arts of negotiation; a Eoman army was seduced from their allegiance, and the chiefs,

Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn go head to head tonight in the first live debate of the election campaign, live on ITV.
Meanwhile, The Green Party is promising to give over-16s the vote and scrap tuition fees, and Nigel Farage denies that his party will split the Leave vote.
Watch today's 60 Sec Elec political round-up below:
Boris Johnson has written to Jeremy Corbyn ahead of their head-to-head televised debate with a series of questions he claims the Labour leader has "ducked" during the campaign:
You are proposing a second referendum on EU membership. In that referendum, would you recommend the UK should remain or leave?
Would you end, maintain or extend free movement, and would immigration be higher or lower under Corbyn's Labour?
How much would you be willing to pay into the EU budget in return for "access to markets"?
Can you guarantee that every Labour candidate supports your Brexit policy?
Johnson v Corbyn: The ITV Debate will be screened live on ITV at 8pm on Tuesday 19th November with the ITV Election Interviews broadcast at 10pm.
Everything you need to know about Johnson v Corbyn: The ITV Debate and the other televised election debates
Meanwhile, The Green Party's released their 89-page General Election manifesto titled "If Not Now, When?" The party plan to tackle climate change with £100 billion annual funding.
In his speech co-leader Jonathan Bartley said: "Hitting snooze for another 15 years simply isn't an option. This is a different magnitude to the financial crash," he said.
"You can't double down on business as usual, pray to the markets and expect the climate emergency to magically go into reverse."
Among their proposals:
£100 billion annual investment to make UK carbon neutral by 2030
Hold a second referendum and campaign for Remain
Make misogyny a hate crime and decriminalise some Class A drugs
Introduce a universal basic income and build 100,000 new council houses
Increase NHS funding by £6 billion each year
Spend at least £4 billion a year on education and replace Ofsted
Lower the voting age, elect the Lords and go to PR voting system
And Nigel Farage has been in Peterborough where he denied voting for the Brexit Party will split the Leave vote and lead to a Labour government.
The Brexit Party Leader used the by-election in the city in the summer as an example to illustrate what he said would not be an issue.
He described the by-election as a "two-horse race" and argued the Labour Party stole the Brexit Party's votes.
He said: "They split our vote, if they were not here, we would have won. Peterborough disproves many of the fallacies you may read."
The first televised debate of the General Election campaign will take place on Tuesday evening on ITV between Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
ITV News is sharing all the key speeches and campaign appearances as they happen as part of our Campaign Live coverage.
Every morning at 7:30 we publish a daily briefing, setting you up for the day ahead.
In a new daily podcast, Calling Peston will bring you up to speed with everything you need to know about the 2019 General Election, with episodes released every weekday afternoon at 5pm.

Cheap Star Diagnostic Kit ?
Hi Chaps!
Anyond bought a Star diagnostic device?
One thats not too pricey and reads majority of the deep codes
Etc. Not generic OB2 stuff
Sorry to be a damp squib, but there is a good caution here:
I don't know, but I assume a MB dealership STAR unit connects online with a licence to MB DBs directly. So the diagnostics and guidance are not stored with the unit. All the clones can do is make a half decent copy of MB data, at least the more common results, and present you with those. Hopefully that is good enugh, but unlikely to be quite as good as the real thing.
An actual C3 STAR scanner appears to be about £600 (but again won't give you the online access for which you need a MB licence key)
For the W163 ML I have icarsoft unit (£120) which does read and clear codes. It is buggy getting things like ABS sensors to read which are hidden in the dashboard codes and trip every now and then and refuse to show them until rebooted. It lives in the car and is good enough for most things. It also does OBDII for other cars.
I managed to snag a C3 with IBM laptop from an MB ownersclub advert for about £280. Had to replace the screen in laptop due to transit damage but that was only £30. It is far nicer as it does DAS for codes and WIS for workshop. The interactive fault finding is not bad for it's age. Not sure when it stops being usefully.. I would guess 2010 or so. I used it to recode the fuel gauge to stop being predictive (car is LPG so fuel gauge use to presume fuel sensor was broken and then drive fuel guage down based upon fuel being used) - that sort of thing cannot be done with icarsoft etc. I was tempted before that to get one from China but there seem good and bad .. and you also need to get the right old IBM laptop to put the hard drive into; there are some that will work on an emulator (MB software only works on a particular Windows operating system). Newer cars need the online systems..
The 460 does not need these fancy toys!

Still finding tasty theological results from my Googling of "Walter Wink powers occupy". Here's one on the sequence implied in Walter Wink's "Powers" series of books:
As the theologian Walter Wink shows, challenging a dominant system requires a three-part process: naming the powers, unmasking the powers, engaging the powers(11). Their white noise of distraction and obfuscation is the means by which the newspapers prevent this process from beginning. They mislead us about the sources of our oppression, misrepresent our democratic choices, demonise those who try to challenge the 1%.
This "unmasking the press" is a worthy cause as well, and will often get us into the "hidden" stuff for which the "Unmasking" stage enlightens us. It also reminds me of studies like "Manufacturing Consent" made famous by Noam Chomsky. The education we need in the media strategies of the 1% (and it is a strategy of the 1%, however deep it has penetrated down into the 99% who are forced or persuaded to serve the interests of the 1%. To use the relevant term here: "Consent", this is what goes into the strategy: advertising for products gives us the clue; it is telling a story about "the world as it is", and the think tanks provide us with a steady stream of "facts" that align with "the way it is" which they seek to instill in us.

Michael Vasconcelles graduated from Springfield High School (SHS) in 1981 and went off to Northwestern University, initially terrified he wouldn't be able to hold his own. Nearly 39 years later, he returned to SHS for the first time since graduation and was inducted into the SHS Hall of Fame. At an assembly in the auditorium on Feb. 7, he shared life lessons with SHS juniors and seniors.
Dr. Michael Vasconcelles earned his B.S. and M.D. from Northwestern University. He resides in Boston and is a respected and accomplished oncologist, specializing in cancer research. In addition to working for cancer research organizations and biotech companies, he is a clinical instructor in medicine at Harvard Medical School. He currently serves as the chief medical officer for Flatiron Health, a health care technology and services company focused on accelerating cancer research and improving patient care.
Vasconcelles' decision to pursue oncology was personal, having witnessed a grandparent's struggle with colorectal cancer. Vasconcelles was also attracted to the field of oncology because it requires a holistic approach to the entire patient, in contrast to other specialties that involve a focused attention on a specific part of the body. Compassion, care for the patient and improved patient outcomes are at the heart of Vasconcelles' life's work.
Over the past several decades, Vasconcelles has witnessed and been a part of new developments related to cancer treatment. In the 1980s there were breakthroughs in understanding molecular biology, which were applied to cancer treatments for improved long-term results. Vasconcelles was responsible for a research team that developed new medicines to treat childhood leukemia, adult leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma and other types of cancers. Their research began at the laboratory scale and continued through product licensure and approval. Cancer mortality rates have dropped over the last five years for a variety of reasons, including improved therapy and reduced risk factors. The focus in recent years is on immunological therapies – how to harness people's own immune system to fight cancer – and developing new immunotherapy drugs.
Now, as chief medical officer for Flatiron Health, he is bringing together technological innovation with the science of drug development. "We are at a defining moment in oncology, where cancer research and clinical treatment are informing one another, driving a holistic learning health care system," said Vasconcelles. With the move from paper to electronic records, a large amount of data on thousands of cancer patients can be aggregated, analyzed and used as a foundation for ongoing cancer research. Flatiron is harnessing this data (which is not identified to individual patients) to further accelerate development of cancer treatments with improved outcomes for patients.
Advice to students for creating a meaningful life
On the stage at SHS, Vasconcelles talked little about cancer. Instead, this humble and accomplished SHS grad told stories and gave an inspiring talk to guide students in "creating a meaningful life."
"Where you come from matters; where you go matters; how you get there matters," he said. He emphasized you can't change where you came from, but that background has an impact and needs to be understood. He acknowledged that most students don't know what they want to do as they graduate from high school. His advice in determining where to go is to have a compass to guide decisions. He implored students to discern their passions and pursue them; be curious, learn, read and ask questions; strive for something better; apply what you've learned and be open to new opportunities.
He also says there is no substitute for hard work. Several times in his career, Vasconcelles questioned whether he belonged. However, at Northwestern as well as Harvard Medical School, with focused, intensive, hard work he proved to himself that he did deserve to be there.
Vasconcelles emphasized the importance of being part of a team and that sometimes you may lead the team, be a member of a team or be a product of a team. "The world is too complex to embrace a hubris that accomplishments are yours alone," he said. He referenced some of the memorable SHS high school teachers who were part of the team that gave him a strong educational foundation: Bernice Rappel (English), Edith Glosecki (English and Latin) and Sherwin Kroll (Physiology). Bernice Rappel was known as a tough teacher, and many students were afraid of or intimidated by her. But Mrs. Rappel's students consistently say she taught them how to write, an important life skill. Vasconcelles also advised students to assume good intentions; be kind, fair and honest; exude humility; and, be relentlessly attentive to those closest to you.
Karen Ackerman Witter is a freelance writer who enjoys writing about inspiring people, places and organizations. She is a strong believer in public education and proud graduate of Springfield High School. She is inspired by the many SHS graduates who are having a big impact both locally and nationally.

Il Testo della della canzone Di: Metropolis – Dream Theater
The smile of dawn
Arrived early May
She carried a gift from her home
The night shed a tear
To tell her of fear
And of sorrow and pain
She'll never outgrow
Death is the first dance, eternal
There's no more freedom
The both of you will be confined to this mind
I was told there's a miracle for each day that I try
I was told there's a new love that's born for each one that has died
I was told there'd be no one to call on when I feel alone and afraid
I was told if you dream of the next world
You'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire
As a child, I thought I could live without pain, without sorrow
As a man I've found it's all caught up with me
I'm asleep yet I'm so afraid
Somewhere like a scene from a memory
There's a picture worth a thousand words
Eleuding stares from faces before me
It hides away and will never be heard of again
Deceit is the second without end
The city's cold blood teaches us to survive
Just keep my heart in your eyes and we'll stay alive
The third arrives
Before the leaves have fallen
Before we lock the doors
There must be the third and last dance
This one will last forever
Metropolis watches and thoughtfully smiles
She's taken you to your home
It can only take place
When the struggle between our children has ended
Now the Miracle and the Sleeper know that the third is love
Love is the Dance of Eternity

Hello guys, I offer you wrestling sessions with me. I do semi-competitive wrestling, fantasy wrestling, domination wrestling, arm wrestling... and I ´m also open to try new things which you wish... you can ask me, but not SEX!!! I do my sessions in mma gym in Prague or Pilsen or in your hotel room.
|Date Begins
|Date Ends
I saw Zoe a couple months ago in my travels. She's just awesome. One of my favorite sessions. She made sure to keep communication smooth traveling from a different town to see me.
We armwrestled and wrestled. She was very strong, her scissors were absolutely deadly, and excellent smothers too. There was no escaping them once she had me in a hold. I'm not really into foot fetish stuff normally, but with her it was awesome. I wasn't going to give up the chance to try it out while meeting her. She was able to force me to worship her feet while she had me pinned and I couldn't move. Now I have a little bit more of a foot fetish and may be more inclined to try it with other girls I meet for sessions. But mostly I look forward to seeing her again one day because she was so good at it.
She was a nice lady to spend time with and taught me a little Czech before we parted ways. I hope to meet her again one day if she ever travels to the US.
Zoe is a splendid session girl!
She was kind enough to host my maiden session, in Dec 2018. This was during her trip to NYC, where she hosted in a spacious, comfortable hotel room. The set up, via email, was fairly straightforward; Zoe's clear, responsive, and friendly.
Zoe knows her strength, moves gracefully, and leads gently. While I wasn't sure what to expect in my first session, I also wasn't prepared for how easily she'd overpower me. Her fluency with verbal humiliation, face sitting, and breast smothering was a rough albeit welcome surprise. I had a repeat session, again in NYC, in June. She was warm and accommodated my scenario request (inspired from one of her Dirty Wrestling Pit videos).
I'd highly recommend a session with Zoe whenever she's in the vicinity.
I met Zoe27 in Frankfurt for my very first real session. For a long time, I was too shy to really contact sessiongirls and only read about it on the internet. And so, booking this had been a small revolution in my own head and huge step out of my personal comfort zone. Usually I'm a relaxed centered guy, but this really made me nervous as hell! Can't tell you why.
So long story short: It has been a magical experience with Zoe27. She is extremely nice and friendly but she is strong and a bit evil :) This is exactly what I love.
Once she sits on you it is very hard to escape and she knows how to celebrate this :) Her scissors are very strong and she likes to keep you between her legs as long as she likes. It is both wonderful and humiliating.
I am so happy I risked it.
So thank you Zoe27 for being trustworthy. Looking forward to your next visit.

Shares of Sientra Inc (NASDAQ: SIEN) have declined about 25 percent since the company reported its first-quarter results on May 8.
Meanwhile, the industry backdrop has improved and the near-term financing overhang on Sientra's stock has lifted with the company announcing it raised gross proceeds of $100 million in an upsized equity offering of around 17.4 million shares, according to Wells Fargo.
The Analyst
Wells Fargo's David Maris upgraded Sientra to Outperform and raised the price target from $8 to $10.
The Thesis
Sientra's shares came under pressure on concerns around the then-upcoming FDA panel meeting on breast implant safety and a financing overhang, Maris said in the note.
Both these concerns have been mitigated.
The FDA panel called for additional monitoring and reporting, which is a more favorable decision than an outright ban as many feared.
Maris added that, in April, the FDA approved several new styles of Sientra implants, including some textured implants, which indicate a ban may not happen. Moreover, the financing overhang has lifted with gross proceeds of $100 million being raised by the company.
Price Action
Shares of Sientra trader higher by more than 7.8 percent to $6.62 at the time of publication.

"If these guys can keep rockin' out there's no reason why they shouldn't become another one of Australia's big names in hard rock"" Beat Magazine
"Worth every second and constantly at the highest level. THE VENDETTAS are a new find, Come and visit us in Germany!" - Ox Fanzine (Punkrock Hardcore Rock'n'Roll).
""I have no other way to explain this heavy hitting block of gold from Australia's The Vendettas. If this band entered a "Big D*ck" contest it need only take out enough to win. They are that good!" - Jammerzine
The Vendettas are back with another edition of their unique brand of rock n roll!
Introducing a new 4-piece line-up (notably the welcome addition of Rick V on drums) the band has successfully molded themselves into a new beast all together.
Embracing this dynamic, their song writing prowess has gone to a new level in the process.
Known for their signature tones and influences from the likes of Stone Temple Pilots, The Black Crowes, and subtle hints at times of The Rolling Stones ('Exile On Main St'), the band spent the better part of a year writing and tightening the screws in preproduction to hit the studio late 2018, subsequently live tracking their upcoming 3rd album and capturing the raw energy they deliver on stage.
The first single "SLINGING MUD" is a salute to The Vendettas early days, cutting their teeth on beer-soaked walls of Melbourne's rock scene night after night, with all dials cranked to 11.
Straight up rock n roll, the way it should be.

Currently, the program has about 30 pairs who do one-on-one lessons that occur in community centers, libraries, and students' homes. Our one-on-one classes are more than just conversation practice. Volunteers make a lesson plan and gear their lessons half toward oral skills and the other half toward literacy or reading and writing. Working in a one-on-one is a rewarding experience for our volunteers, especially as their students read books to their children and write their first shapes, letters, and numbers!
Many of the students in the program are emerging readers. In a one-on-one situation, they can get the attention they need to succeed. It is an exciting time for the ESLC as we develop and research new testing and teaching materials in collaboration with the University of Utah. Some of our volunteers attended the in-service in November and January to learn about materials and strategies for teaching our emerging reader students.
A volunteers recently reported, "I remember going to class one day and my student expressed to me that she had gone shopping and had a conversation with someone in English about where she was from, how long she'd been here, and if she liked America. She was so excited that she had been able to understand and reply. I'm glad to have been a part of that."

These chocolate glazed vegan banana bread donuts combine two of our favorite treats in one! Sweetened with maple syrup and bananas, and baked instead of fried.
If I had a dollar for every time I've been hit with a "you probably never eat, right?" or " you never get hungry, do you? or "I bet you never eat dessert" comment, I would most definitely be a millionaire by now. And I know I'm supposed to feel "flattered" hearing things like that, but honestly, I'm not. In fact, it's quite the opposite.
Food has been my world for the past 8 years. I spend my days preparing food, tasting food and writing about food. So yes, I have to eat, and I do get hungry and I have to taste everything we make, even desserts. And yes, the muscles in my arms are noticeable and my waist is small, but they're only the result of hard work and self-discipline. Because let me tell you something unless you're royalty, or your last name starts with the letter K, chances are, in this life, you have to work hard for what you want. It means getting up at 5 am to exercise when you know it's the only time you can do it; it means fighting the thoughts in your head that are telling you to turn around mid-run; it means learning to have a taste of that amazing dessert you love, and then put the fork down; it means understanding the meaning of BALANCE. Understanding that it doesn't have to be all or nothing – you either starve yourself or eat the entire cake; you sit on the couch all day or you run a marathon. No. You have to find the gray area. And getting there takes hard work. Whether you're willing to do it or not, is completely up to you.
So I guess the moral of the story is, never judge a book by its cover… Which, believe it or not, is the perfect segue to introduce this recipe.
These decadent looking chocolate banana bread donuts aren't nearly as indulgent as they look. They're sweetened with bananas and 3 tablespoons of real maple syrup; they're also made with whole wheat flour and baked instead of fried. They're also vegan and can be easily made gluten-free, too.
And yes, they are still a treat, but a much-improved version of the original that you won't feel as "guilty" (not a big fan of the word) enjoying every now and then.
Because after all, life is all about balance, right? 🙂

Why buy a sandwich board when you can buy sandwiches for those experiencing poverty and homelessness in Kamloops instead?
That's what the Mustard Seed New Life Community is asking community businesses, organizations and groups as they launch their Meals Sponsorship program today (April 4).
Urban Systems and the Kamloops Alliance Church were both on hand as the first groups to take part in the program. Urban Systems sponsored today's meal and agreed to sponsor three more meals this year.
"We are impressed with the work of the Mustard Seed New Life Community and their compassion and service for those who need a little extra help," said Lisa Bruvold, foundation secretary at Urban Systems, in a news release. "Our company knows how a vibrant community can lead to great momentum and people flourishing. Ensuring everyone is supported and given a chance to make an impact is important, and if we can share that message through meal sponsorship, we are so pleased to do so."
Members of the Kamloops Alliance Church were also there to help serve food and have committed to at least one meal sponsorship in the near future.
For any group, a $1,000 donation will provide lunch to the Outreach Centre's guests; their team will have a tour of the Outreach Centre and then help serve the meals and connect with guests.
"We are so excited to have these community leaders make a commitment to sponsor meals," said Diane Down, managing director of Mustard Seed, in the release. "This kind of support and hands-on care is not only a way to meaningfully support and encourage our Outreach Centre guests, but in many ways, is transformational to community organizations and business leaders who come to serve. We are so pleased to kick this off today."
To get involved in Meal Sponsorship, connect with volunteer coordinator Katrina McKinley at 250-682-6544 or [email protected].

I'm no fan of the current administration in Washington, D.C., especially when it comes to spending money. The White House, it would seem, pays its bills by printing more money and borrowing from a creditor that has no interest in democracy.
While it may seem like chump change, the Defense Department cannot account for 95 percent of the $9.1 billion in Iraqi oil money, earmarked by the United States, for rebuilding that war-ravaged country. This, in a country where basic necessities such as electricity and clean water are still lacking.
Just so you know, 95 percent adds up to $8.7 billion. Shoddy recordkeeping by DOD also meant that the Pentagon could not account for $2.6 billion it had spent.
Yes, there have been security gains since 2008, but bombings on a daily basis still plague the Iraqis. It seems that politicians are more interested in themselves than their countrymen. A U.S. audit further indicates that Iraqis are frustrated and will continue to suffer from poor infrastructure despite the billions of dollars spent on security and rebuilding efforts.
Security often comes with a price, but in this case, the price tag seems to have ballooned far beyond logic. Security is everyone's duty; lining one's pockets with money is another issue altogether.

As the National Museum of African-American History and Culture prepares to open later this year, controversy has already marred the highly anticipated addition to the National Mall. The question of whether Bill Cosby's exhibit should include any mention of the numerous allegations of rape currently leveled against him was hotly contested and the museum has made its decision:
After days of questioning, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, which opens in Washington in September, said on Thursday that it would add a reference to accusations of sexual assault made against Bill Cosby in an exhibition that recognizes pioneering work in comedy and television.
While some people wanted the exhibit to ignore the lawsuits, others wanted the exhibit completely stricken. The tricky part is that Cosby has not been convicted of a crime (yet) – but also that he's had an enormous impact in his field. Even if (when) he's convicted, does that really negate his pervasive influence in the entertainment industry? More importantly, as Lonnie Brunch, Founding Director of the museum points out, too much of black history has been disappeared and censoring Cosby would only add to that unfortunate trend.
On the other hand, it's pretty clear that Cosby is a sleaze and not mentioning that would be a true disservice to his unbelievable number of victims and deprive the public of the full context of who he was.
Here's the museum's statement in full:
There have been many misconceptions and mistaken notions about the presence of Bill Cosby within the National Museum of African American History and Culture's exhibition, "Taking the Stage," that explores the history of African American participation in film, theatre and television. This is not an exhibition that "honors or celebrates" Bill Cosby but one that acknowledges his role, among many others, in American entertainment. Some people feel that the Smithsonian should eliminate all mention of Bill Cosby as a result of recent revelations. We understand but respectfully disagree. For too long, aspects of African American history have been erased and undervalued, creating an incomplete interpretation of the American past. This museum seeks to tell, in the words of the eminent historian John Hope Franklin, "the unvarnished truth" that will help our visitors to remember and better understand what has often been erased and forgotten. Like all of history, our interpretation of Bill Cosby is a work in progress, something that will continue to evolve as new evidence and insights come to the fore. Visitors will leave the exhibition knowing more about Mr. Cosby's impact on American entertainment, while recognizing that his legacy has been severely damaged by the recent accusations.

Beware Ghostly_Howl / Mrs_Succubus
Ghostvulpes commented on Ghostvulpes's record in Artist BewaresYes, she never responded to paypal and so the dispute went in my favor and I have since received the funds I sent her. I forgot, but would also like to note: When she finally got back to me on Oct 30th, she HAD NOT even ordered the fabric to make my plush. She instead, defaulted to stuff she had on hand. It is NOT OKAY to wait until the LAST DAY to order fabric!
Ghostvulpes started following Beware Ghostly_Howl / Mrs_Succubus
Beware Ghostly_Howl / Mrs_Succubus
Ghostvulpes posted a record in Artist BewaresAlright this is a bit lengthy but I'll TRY to keep it short since this transaction started way back in May of this year. I ordered a plush commission on a discount price of $55 from Ghostly_howl on May 19 2019. She immediately accepts my commission and tells me a time frame of which this will be done. Great! I'm fine waiting five months for this to get completed. It's an anxiety plushie for my significant other, of his dog that passed away last year. I SPECIFICALLY tell them not to ghost me...and well, the pictures tell the rest of the story pretty well. Eventually I find her second account and contact her there, to which she EVENTUALLY gets back to me. She provides me with a "business email" Which I emailed, and NEVER got a reply. The ONE TIME she's ever consistant about talking to me, is the DAY I submitted my paypal dispute against her. I thought we had finally come to an understanding, as we had a VERY lengthy chat. But well, guess I can't be surprised that she just continues to ignore direct dm's for days on end. It's even more frustrating knowing we came to a conclusion, she finished my plush, and then HAS YET to send me tracking info after PROMISING SHE WOULD SHIP IT ON THE DAY SHE MADE THE LABEL. I'm just so tired and done. I am NOT the only person she has ghosted. I was in contact with another user who just said screw it, and got her money back. I saw another user waiting for over A YEAR for their commission. This person takes on WAY TOO MANY COMMISSIONS and then leaves everyone in the dark and upset for not getting back to them in a timely manner. This is NOT how you treat customers, let alone run a business.

For a hedge which is reliable in colour and grows tidily a camellia sasanqua hedge is hard to look past. They have the added bonus that they flower reliably in autumn to winter giving colour to a garden when your summer flowering plants have finished their show.
A Camellia sasanqua hedge will be available in a variety of heights and shades of green with many different flower colours white, pinks through to reds, as singles and doubles
Camellia sasanqua Setsugekka is often used as a hedging camellia in New Zealand gardens. In late winter to early spring it displays single white flowers. It is a camellia with an upright growth habit so is a very useful plant for boundary hedges or screening.
Camellia sasanqua Early Pearly can be used as a hedging camellia in New Zealand gardens.
In autumn it produces small double white flowers edged with a touch of soft pink in autumn. Upright growth to 2m tall and 1.5m wide if not pruned.

Cairo: Clutching a decades-old black-and-white photo, Doris Wolanski directed a vehicle through Cairo's chaotic traffic, her gaze trained on the street corners, in search of rue du Metro.
The photo showed an 8-year-old girl and her mother on a balcony overlooking a wide, deserted boulevard.
The girl was Wolanski, now 71; the apartment was her Jewish family's home until they were expelled from Egypt in 1956, during the Suez crisis. Now she was trying to find it again.
The address wasn't much help - rue du Metro had been renamed - but she hoped that details on the photo might lead her home. Spotting a familiar landmark, she filled with anxious anticipation.
"My stomach is churning. It really is," she said. "I'm back to that little girl of 8 with my uniform, two pom-poms and a hat. It's a very strange feeling."
Wolanski's mission was part of a much larger homecoming for Egypt's Jewish community, which at its peak numbered 80,000 and is now racing toward extinction.
Last weekend, 180 Jews from Europe, Israel and the United States traveled to the city of Alexandria on Egypt's Mediterranean coast to attend religious ceremonies at a historic synagogue that was rescued from ruin. It was the largest such gathering of Jews in Egypt since they were pressured to leave during the Arab-Israeli wars of the 1950s and 1960s.
Egypt's government paid for the $4 million synagogue renovation - part of a long-standing drive to rescue the country's crumbling Jewish heritage which President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi has stepped up.
80000Jews in Egypt before 1950
Last year, El Sissi ordered the renovation of a badly dilapidated Jewish cemetery which is one of the oldest in the world.
And he supported a scholarship project, run with the help of an Israeli scholar, that uncovered a rare, 1,000-year-old Hebrew Bible.
But El Sissi's embrace of Egyptian Jews is also awkward and laced with contradictions. The visit of 180 Jews took place under a news media blackout, with no coverage in Egyptian outlets, and amid iron-tight security by Egyptian officials who at times outnumbered their visitors.
Jews are often conflated with Israel, and where many young Egyptians know little of their country's Jewish past - and how it ended.
"I'm full of questions," said Philippe Ismalun, who fled Egypt after his father was arrested during the 1967 Middle East war. "After so many years of Jews being told that Egypt is not their country, not their home, it was puzzling to see the government spend so much money and effort on renovating the synagogue."
16Egyptian Jews remain in Egypt
In part, the answer is politics.
Perhaps 16 Egyptian Jews remain in Egypt - six in Cairo and another 10 in Alexandria, mostly in their 70s and 80s, according to community leaders in both cities. The government says it is rescuing their synagogues and cemeteries so Jewish heritage can take its rightful place alongside Egypt's Pharaonic, Coptic and Islamic civilizations.
"It's a message for Egyptians that we lived in a unique diversity - Jews, Christians, everyone - for millenniums," Khaled El Anany, Egypt's minister for antiquities and tourism, said in an interview.
Last February, one delegation appealed for El Sissi help in saving Cairo's Jewish cemetery, which had fallen into a woeful state.
Squatters had encroached on the ninth-century cemetery, building houses and stealing its marble tombstones. Sewage pooled in corners, goats roamed between graves, and garbage was piled high in places.
Local criminals used the cemetery as a place to deal drugs or burn the rubber coating from stolen electrical cables, said Magda Haroun, the head of Cairo's half-dozen strong Jewish community.
"It was in a terrible shape," said Haroun, 67, whose sister's grave lies beneath a squatter's house.
A cleanup started within hours of el-Sissi's meeting with the American group, she said. It has been continued by A Drop of Milk - an old Jewish welfare organization now dedicated to rescuing Jewish heritage and composed mostly of Christian and Muslim volunteers.
"We've removed tons and tons of rubbish," she said. "But there's much more to be done."
Torah scrolls
For many of the Jews who returned to Alexandria last weekend, the Shabbat service at the renovated Eliyahu Hanavi synagogue, an imposing neo-Classical structure that officially reopened in January, was an emotional moment.
A cavernous ark holds dozens of Torah scrolls collected from Alexandria's other synagogues that have been sold to developers. Heavy wooden pews gleam with brass plaques bearing the names of Jewish families since scattered across the world.
Ismalun, who lives in Switzerland, brought along the kipa he wore as a child for his bar mitzvah in the same synagogue.
"It was very moving," he said.
"The Egyptians appreciate that people have a positive view of this from abroad," Baker added. "But now that you have this beautiful synagogue, it's fair to ask what purpose it will serve in the future."
Egypt's unresolved relationship with Israel is undoubtedly a factor. Despite a 1979 peace treaty, the two countries have not normalized relations, and public debate about the subject remains taboo in Cairo. In 2016, an Egyptian lawmaker was expelled from Parliament for inviting the Israeli ambassador to his home for dinner.
Copies of "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," an anti-Semitic tract, are sold openly by street vendors in Cairo. After a spate of anti-Sissi protests in September, documents circulated on social media that purported to prove an old conspiracy theory that el-Sissi's mother is secretly Jewish.
Changing attitudes
Documentaries about the last Egyptian Jews have received a warm reception from young Egyptians eager to know more. And the government authorized an Israeli scholar, professor Yoram Meital of Ben Gurion University, to help A Drop of Milk catalog thousands of Jewish scrolls and other relics in Cairo's shuttered synagogues.
Two years ago, that led them to a goatskin parchment in the back of a closet - a handwritten document, dating from 1028, that covers the third part of the Hebrew Bible and is among the oldest copies of the Bible ever found.
"Many people think the final chapter on the Jewish community of Egypt has been written," Meital said in an interview. "I believe the opposite is true - that its heritage has a future that is beginning now."
El-Sissi's outreach has its limits. Jewish leaders want access to a vast register of community records, dating back to 1830 and counting tens of thousands of pages, that catalog births, marriages, deaths and bar mitzvahs.
But Egyptian officials have sequestered the register inside the national archives and, despite a promise from el-Sissi, refused to provide any access, ostensibly for national security reasons.
"Those records are our heritage. They're everything about us," said Reginette Schafer, who left Egypt in 1954 and lives in Washington. "And we can't get them out."
For many, the test of Egypt's commitment to celebrating its Jewish heritage may lie in how the renovated synagogues are used: whether they remain huddled behind armed policemen, as is currently the case, or can be opened to ordinary Egyptians as a monument to a part of their culture that is as old as the pyramids.
"That's the real challenge," said Baker. "It's the story you're telling about this community and whether you have faith that Egyptians will see it as something positive. That's my hope."
Wolanski, driving around the Cairo district of Heliopolis with her husband and two sons, beamed with delight when she found her old school, St. Clare's, where she had once been taught by Catholic nuns.
Later she posed for a photo outside a nearby synagogue where her father prayed, as armed policemen looked on.
But she couldn't find rue du Metro, or her old apartment. She would save it for next time, she said, "when I come back with my grandchildren."

Lawmakers consider options to community bans on pot sales
Fri., Jan. 31, 2014
OLYMPIA – Washington legislators are trying to decide whether to offer a carrot or use a stick against local governments that don't want to let recreational marijuana businesses set up shop inside their borders.
The carrot: Offering up some of the taxes those businesses will be required to pay the state as the drug moves from harvest to sale.
The stick: A flat-out ban on interfering with pot businesses that get state licenses.
Not surprisingly, cities and counties would rather have the cash. But they're reluctant to promise they'd issue business permits even then.
That was one of the messages Thursday as the House Government Oversight and Accountability Committee sorted through three bills spawned by various bans and moratoriums on recreational marijuana businesses around the state. Liberty Lake is among those with a ban.
A carrot is being offered by Rep. Cary Condotta, R-East Wenatchee, in House Bill 2144. It would place almost a third of the excise tax collected from sales at new recreational marijuana stores into a special account and send money back to the city or county where the sales occurred.
The proposal fixes an "oversight" in Initiative 502, which doesn't set aside money for extra costs of law enforcement and drug treatment cities and counties might see from marijuana use, Condotta said. "There is nothing in it, so to speak, for local governments."
A few local governments have passed bans on marijuana businesses, and dozens more have put any requests on hold while they study the issue. That could lead to a patchwork of communities with legal marijuana businesses next to others that ban them, said committee Chairman Christopher Hurst, D-Enumclaw. Illegal sales would grow in the communities without licensed businesses, he predicted.
Some city officials said the money being offered might not be enough to cover their extra costs, but they didn't know what those costs might be. Colorado, which also has legalized recreational marijuana, offers its cities a portion of the license fees as well as some tax money, Kent Mayor Suzette Cook said.
But Mario Martinez, mayor of Mabton, said his city welcomes entrepreneurs from the Puget Sound area who want to start marijuana businesses in the small Yakima County community. They've already decided they want the jobs and will take any new money the state would offer.
"We need West Side capital and business savvy," Martinez said. "Mabton is open for business."
Condotta's bill isn't the only proposal that would send some marijuana tax money to local government. Sen. Mike Baumgartner and Rep. Jeff Holy, both Republicans from Spokane County, each have separate bills to send $20 million of it to cities and $5 million to counties.
Other House members have proposals that would add a section to the state's drug laws to say local governments can't pre-empt state regulations on marijuana. The law already contains that provision for other drugs, but because I-502 didn't specifically say that, a recent attorney general's opinion said cities and counties can put further restrictions on marijuana businesses.
Rep. David Sawyer, D-Tacoma, sponsor of one of those bills, criticized Pierce County officials for enacting a ban even though I-502 passed in the county. "They are completely denying the voters what they voted for," he said.
Members of the committee agreed, but that argument changed when Kennewick City Councilman Dan Britain said a majority of his city voted against I-502 and restrictions should be left up to the cities.
A majority of his district voted against the same-sex marriage referendum, replied Condotta; should Wenatchee be allowed to outlaw gay marriage?
All the proposals need work, Hurst said, and their future is uncertain. State law requires a two-thirds majority of both houses to change anything about an initiative in the two years after it passes. "That's a hard climb to make," he said.
