It was Bakunin who said that if there were a God, it would be necessary to overthrow Him. It never fails. Every time I'm about to give up on these damned humans, one of them just has to get up and say something like that. Damn them. If it weren't for them, I'd still be an angel, plucking my harp, polishing my wings and waiting when Yahweh will come around and ask me to do something for him, begging him to validate my existence. I suppose, then, that the humans can't be all bad. After all, if they were, do you think I'd be fighting the entire Host of Heaven for their sake? They're murderers, thieves, tramps and whores. And they're such stupid creatures too. Blindly following around anyone with the balls to declare he's in charge. As if what he said gave the claim any legitimacy. They so terrible things to each other and to themselves. I've seen little girls with all their limbs chopped off and left to crawl home. They're a race of monsters. So why can't I just leave them alone then? Why can't I just march into Lucifer's office, turn in my wings and tell him "I'm through! I'm sick of crucifying myself for these people! I'm sick of fighting to save people to won't even save themselves! I'm sick of it all!" It wouldn't be that tough, after all. It certainly wouldn't be lying. And, I mean, Lucifer's got more important things to worry about than trying to retain one little demon like me, even one that's been with The Cause since the beginning. He's the head honcho, the father of the Revolution and he's got to worry about everything from making sure the angels don't mess with us (which they do) to figuring out how we can mess with the angels (which we do). He's got to orchestrate a way to overthrow all frickin' creation without becoming the controlling, hypocritical, paranoid prick that Yahweh did. Keeping me around? Not his highest priority. The prick. If it's so easy to leave, why am I still here? Tons of other demons have left. Why shouldn't I join them? I won't lie and say I've been tempted many times. But then we come back to Bakunin. I'm all ready to convince myself that humanity's screwed, that Yahweh's won and Lucifer may as well execute himself and save Gabriel the trouble... And then some human comes along and spouts off something profound, something that makes me think that maybe they're not all dumb, that maybe some of them do know what's going on, that maybe there is some hope for the talking apes yet. Not a lot. Barely even detectable among all the other stupid shit the humans say and do. But some. It's there and you can taste it. Of course, not even a century later they all up and die but that's life. I fight for that little, tiny glimmer of hope in the bucket of shit called humanity. And they hate me. They all hate me and want to kill me, isn't that rich? They send their holy warriors, their legendary heroes, their champions of light to find us and kill us because, well, that's what Yahweh wants them all to do. I try to be tolerant, I try to be calm. Damn I'm calm. After all, they don't know what they're really doing. They're just fighting for what they think is right even if all they're doing is perpetuating the slavery of their own race by an angry God. I try to be understanding. I tell myself, it's awfully tempting to just latch on to some belief system that the Light is good and the Darkness is bad and the Light must always defeat the Darkness. It's quick, it's easy. People are uncomfortable with uncertainty. And why the hell shouldn't they? They've been raised since they first evolved to be obedient little cattle. For them, liberty is just as paralyzing as fascism. Every time some Legendary Hero pledges to wipe the demon taint from the face of their planet, I tell myself this in the hopes I'll calm down and remember that those kinds of people are the exact reason I'm fighting for them. It never works. I'm only demon, I get pissed like everyone else and quite frankly if someone's so far gone that they start drawing lines between "What I believe" and "What needs to die" then who can blame me for the occasional disembowelment? Ungrateful bastards, serves 'em right. Here I am, fighting for their freedom, fighting against the tyranny of predetermination, of commandments, of divine retribution and they've got nothing better to do than swing around some magical phallic symbol and talk like they work at a Renaissance fair. A part of me thinks that once they're free from Yahweh's influence they'll smarten up and be decent human beings. Every other part of me laughs so hard they become desperately in need of an underwear change. Still, if I thought humans needed to be herded like sheep to protect them from themselves, I'd still be in the Silver City. They may be psychotic, perverted bastards, but they're psychotic perverted bastards we need to free. Because, hell, not even psychotic, perverted bastards deserve the fate the Creator's given this sorry lot. They think they're free, but they're not. That's the saddest thing about them, the thing that tears at my heart strings. If they were really free, God wouldn't need a host of angels to back Him up. If they really loved Him because they loved Him, He wouldn't need a private torture dimension for people who didn't. That isn't love freely given. If people are only doing something because they're afraid of getting punished, that's not freedom - that's terror and oppression, the trademark of the despot. That's why I still fight. In the beginning, Lucifer saw what was being done to humanity and decided he couldn't sit back and let it happen. Neither could I. I raise my fist to Heaven against oppression and do what I can to counteract the Host. Because I am me. And because I am alive.
I knew his type. Six feet tall, muscles upon muscles upon muscles. Being in his presence was like drinking whole milk - so wholesome it made you feel a little sick. "Demon, you shall not tempt me with your poison words! You have ruined too many lives! Too many scions of the Light have fallen before you! Have at thee!" He's strong. I was knocked back more than a few feet, crashing through a wall. Ouch. I got up. These guys get so damn touchy when you start questioning their faith. I was sitting in a bar, minding my own damn business... Well, that's not entirely true, I guess. I was setting up some anti-angelic wards around the place, weakening the Light influence around my general area. But, hell, that was no real excuse to attack me entirely unprovoked. Things weren't so bad at first. He just told me leave this place and never return. Now, all I did was give him a sideways smile and tell him that I think that sort of order is up to the owner of this fine establishment, don't you think? And that I was a good customer and always paid my tab. He told me... No, wait. He ORDERED me to cease and desist and pray to my creator for forgiveness. I'm sorry, it wasn't the smartest thing to do, but I just couldn't stop laughing. Between gasps, I shouted that I'd sooner let that Paladin screw me up the ass, and given how ugly he was, it said quite a lot. Well, then the craziness with the magical holy sword started. "Listen, I really don't want to fight you." Could my voice have been any more blase? Don't think so. Dodge. Dodge. Jump. "You're making a huge mistake." Duck. Sway. Jump. The hero (not Hero, mind you, or else I'd have been calling for backup ASAP) just gave me the dirtiest look. "The only mistake here is letting you live one second longer than you must, demon!" These champions of light are so predictable. One overhead swing took care of my haircut needs for the time as I ducked just in time. "I am REALLY not in the mood for this." Sword in the arm. Ouch. My eyes glowed red. A whirl of motion and the Paladin was on the floor, gasping for breath. My voice hissed from between my teeth. "Enough. I can kill you right now if I want to. It would be just so easy to reach into your mouth and yank out your testicles from the inside. I warned you that I will NOT take shit from the likes of you. I am NOT afraid of you. You're pathetic. Your code, your Cause, your Light. When was the last time your mind was truly yours?" I slash open his cheek and stepped away from him. "You caught me in a good mood. Thank your effing God for that." That was about the time everyone in the bar got up and start advancing towards me. I could just picture their mental processes. Paragon of virtue... Ruthless demon... Paragon of virtue... Ruthless demon... Paragon of Virtue! See if I ever drink there again. God, I hate people more than anything. Every step forward I take, the angels take me two steps back. I keep going, though. I guess I'm stupid like that.
"Gifts" of the Infernal
Natural Weaponry: Supreme
Angels. I can't stand them. People say to me, when I tell them of this not to surprising antipathy, "Well, aren't you pretty much an angel too? I mean, you used to be one, but then you fell. But the fact that you fell is about all that separates you from the angels, right?" Humans. It's when they say things like this that make me very tempted to reneg my promise to protect and work towards their freedom, because you can tell that if anyone would say something as stupid as this when they're slaves... When they're free, they're going to be REALLY obnoxious. It when they say things like that that my demon blood begins to boil even more (demon blood already is very hot, so imagine what it's like then) and I start taking deep, deep breaths, gripping the table trying not to throttle the punk who is still going on and on about how the difference between the angels and demons is nothing but a load of crap and how it's all our own creation and just filling the air with his sheer, blatant ignorance... I don't notice until he's looking at me like I'm about to rip his head off and pop it in my mouth like popcorn (which is kinda true) that my demonic influence is starting to manifest, which includes claws made of iron, teeth made of adamant and a three foot long tongue that slices through flesh like a hot knife through a book of bad cliches. "Thorry." I say as I withdraw my traits. Angels and demons the same? The nerve. The very ACT of rebelling against your Creator negates your status as an angel. To be an angel is to comply without question. I used to be one, unfortunately. But looking down at my slowly withdrawing claws tell me those days are long over.
Black Wings
Flight: Supreme
I remember the beginning. When Lucifer gathered all the angels in the Host of like mind to his cause. He was a lot more peaceful in the beginning. Reform, not Revolution was his motto. He gave very stirring speeches in the square in Heaven. It wasn't until Michael and his White-Shirts broke up the forth rally in a row that Lucifer began to really seeth, before he began to get really, really bitter. When the first angels were being slaughtered in retribution for their sedition, that was when Lucifer got really, really pissed off. The thing they don't tell you about the War in Heaven was that most of it was fought in the air. Streaks of silver crossed with streaks of gold, concluding in a rain of red over the fertile fields of Heaven, sword meeting sword, fire meeting fire in a battle it seemed no one could win. Slowly but surely, though, we were being pushed out. Michael tore through our ranks like we were tissue paper and all who tried to attack him were immediately assaulted by Raphael and Israefel. We were losing ground, or, rather, losing air. But we made sure that the Host paid in blood for every inch they took. I personally wet my wings in the blood of Israefel before Michael lit me on fire with his flaming sword. Then... We fell. No. We Fell, further than anyone can imagine. Once we landed, we knew what we needed to do. A big misconception is that our wings were removed from us when we Fell. Some had theirs torn off during the battle, but most of us had kept them. They changed, this is certain. Massive and black, like a raven's. But they are still there and they still work. From above, I can still survey my work. From above, I can still await the day I face Michael once more on the field of battle.
Terrible Glory
Emotion Control: Supreme
"Now, girl, beg for your life before I spill it all over the stone steps!" The sword was black as jet and so big it was obviously compensating for something. "Someone help me! Please!" The sword moved like the night and knicked the girl's leg, her dress turning red from the calf up. "Beg me to spare you. Crawl like the whore you are." Her tears streaked down her face as she struggled to get a sentence out without stuttering, without sobbing. A vicious kick to the ribs didn't help matters. "I said BEG! DO IT!" She choked back a sob. "P-p-p-please... D-d-d-don't... K-k-k-k..." The man nodded. "K-k-k-k-k... Kiiiii..." His eyes were like iron, like fire. "Worthless girl, can't even properly grovel! Now you die." Behind him, a throat cleared. "Are you quite done?" I stood blase. "Your lot make me sick. You think this is what we want? You're being all dark and evil, aren't you? You're being all terrible and powerful, slaying helpless women in the dark, aren't you? You're nothing! You're pathetic! You're a twisted mockery of the darkness! YOU give US a bad name!" He swung. I simply sidestepped and kicked the man in the back, sending him flying. "I'm working to free you people and this is what you do to each other. I do not delight in this murder you've been perpetuating each night. I've been tracking you. Investigating you. You predators make your victims slaves to fear. All you want is to be worshipped. You're the worst kind of evil: the evil bred from insecurity. From smallness. Just like Yahweh's bunch. Disgusting. You're trying way too hard and just coming off as pathetic to the people you probably want to impress the most." It was then that I removed my mortal seaming. Angels are beautiful, glorious to behold. Too glorious. The more powerful ones can cow many with their sheer presence, the sheer power of their glory. As said before, quite emphatically, I am not an angel. Demons are terrible, frightening things and when one reveals THEIR glory, the stars themselves extinguish in their terror. It is glory, much like an angel's. But it is a dark and terrible glory. The glory of a demon. I still look the same. But, to those looking upon me, I am NOT the same. The man collapses onto his knees before his forehead grinds against the cobblestones. He is sobbing like a baby. I look back. So is she. I leave.
Eldrich Blast: Supreme
I am above their eye. I am above the sky. I touch the clouds and taste their bounty. Below me is Atlantis. An Atlantis, at least. There are thousands of them across the planes, existing in nearly all times. This was the first, predating even humanity itself, which is odd since it's full of humans. Still, my orders aren't to think. They're to destroy. I am still an angel. My Fall has yet to come. I look down and I can... SEE... Them... HEAR... SMELL... Almost touch them. People are milling through the streets, discussing philosophy, politics, art, technology. Children play in the streets. Women sing to themselves in the gardens. It is a beautiful city and I can't help but admire it. It's a paradise of marble and gold and pearl and ivory. It is Atlantis and it is the perfect city. Perfect except in one respect. The people are free. Yahweh doesn't know how they did it, perhaps through arcane magics and perhaps through fantastic technology, but the people of Atlantis managed to divorce themselves from the web of destiny. There was no more grand plan for the Atlanteans, save that which the Atlanteans could create for themselves. For this, I was charged with destroying them. My hands crackled with energy. From high above, I was to rain down death. My power would shatter the stone, kill all who stood in its path, blight crops, destroy buildings. Everyone would die. I looked down. A child picked a flower. A dog came and licked her face. I closed my eyes and fired. It was then that I realized He has made a murderer of me. And I did nothing. I could do nothing. I stoll loved Yahweh. And this disturbed me greatly. I am now a demon, millinea later and I still hold the terrible power that sunk Atlantis. I use it for much better ends now.
Infernal Form
Energy Body: Ultimate
A kick in the chest shattered a rib or two. Pity they were mine. I coughed out blood and rolled along the floor. It's not that I wasn't used to taking punishment. It's just that I wasn't used to taking punishment from the Seraphim. I guess I should be flattered. After all, they only send these guys out against the really big threats. A blow across the back with a holy whip says to me "Welcome to the big times, Reluctorel. Enjoy your beating." I smiled. I was bruised, battered, burned and bleeding (notice all the words for abuse start with 'b') and yet I still smiled. I still had one last ace up my sleeve and I was just waiting for an opportunity like this to use it. I rose from the ground, hearing my bones crack and lock into place, feeling every ounce of pain attached to such an action. "You been scourged by the righteous fires of Heaven and yet still you rise for more? Reluctorel, I heard you were a most cunning demon. One would think that someone of your intelligence would have the common sense to stay down." That was when Israefel hit the floor and I rose, black wings, horns, claws and all. My demonic traits weren't bits of demon put here and there on a human form anymore. Jet-black skin hung tightly onto an eighteen-foot tall frame and my grin revealed row upon row of razor sharp teeth. One pair of arms grabbed the angel while the second pair began to pummel him. "Israefel, Yahweh must be getting pretty stupid in his old age to send you to me. I tore you a new one in the War, and I'll send you limping back to the Silver City again. I guess Michael was too busy, because he would have beaten me as surely as I've beaten you." Flames trickles off my skin like sweat beading off a brow. The chains around my waist rattled. In one motion, I bit the angel in half and spit it on the floor. Both halves crawled away into the night. I resumed my mortal form and walked away whistling.

Spot-Bellied Eagle Owl, one of the largest owls found in India, was the first sighting on first day's evening safari.
Deepa floated the idea of NTP meet sometime in November. We soon decided on Kgudi, after considering Doddamakali, Bandipur and Kabini. January was the ideal time to visit the place. Seven out of twenty eight of us decided to spend two days at Kgudi, rahter than just one day meet, and left a day early.
Route: Bangalore -> Maddur -> Malavalli -> Yelandur -> Kgudi
Distance: 230km
On the way to Kgudi, around Malavalli lake, we sighted a number of birds – Small Green and Blue-tailed bee eaters, Rosy starlings, Grey and Yellow Wagtails, Ibises and more. Also, we saw a juvenile Crested Serpent Eagle.
The camp at Kgudi itself is haven for birds. Within an hour we sighted Verditer, Asian Brown and Paradise flycatchers, Jungle Babblers, Scarlett and small Minivets, Chestnut-bellied Nuthatch, Lesser Yellownape woodpecker, and lot of other birds.
A Jungle Babbler right outside golghar
But the evening safari on the first day was washed out, thanks to untimely showers. The highlight was the spot-bellied eagle owl that had eluded us at Thattekad. Other than this, there was hardly any activity during the whole safari, but for few spotted deers and a lone Crested Hawk Eagle.
Late evening, manager of Kgudi JLR Ashish spent some time with us and Shreeram showcased some of his photographs. Ashish himself is a good photographer, and maintains his blog here.
Next day morning was bright and sunny, but the sightings weren't better. There were a bunch of Crested Tree Swifts preening on a tree.
Crested Serpent Eagle was seen on all safaris – in sunshine, and in rain. Deepa has compiled a beautiful report here.
As we continued to drive around, I wondered how do so many people find leopards on such beautiful perches! Need more luck. Returned to the camp and saw Blue-capped Rock Thrush, Roufous woodpecker, and few others.
Soon, Sripad, Chirdeep and other NTP members arrived. Narayan took us for a small trek that lasted about an hour and half. Jungle Owlet, Pygmy woodpeckers, scat of wild dogs, a skull of Gaur, and alarm calls of Sambhar, but no big cat was seen. Returned to the camp tired and thirsty. By this time everyone had arrived.
During lunch caught up with all the NTP members who had arrived.
Evening safari was another drive in the park, until Narayan sighted sloth bears, mother and 2 cubs. There were around for few minutes, but quite far and the cubs were hidden in the uneven terrain. I could manage only a record shot.
Later in the evening, while driving back from safari, saw a beautiful Blue-rock Thrush perched close to the jeep. At shutter speed of 1/13s, jostling in the jeep for space with other photographers, I could manage a decent shot. Notice the blur of its tail caused by the slow shutter speed.
Blue Rock Thrush – enjoying attention
Karthik couldn't join us for the meet because of his Andaman trip. It was nice of him to send us a cake. Sanjay Mohan, ED of JLR joined us since MD couldn't join. Later in the evening, Ashish showcased his guitar skills, while Deepa et al showcased their singing talent.
At night, some of us geared up for a 'star trails' night photography. Vineet was fantastic in identifying some of the star constellations. Spent quite some time trying to get taare photograph par, but was not very impressed with the results. Hope to get better next time. Thanks to Adarsh, Sanjay and Vineet for the star trail experiment.
Next day morning safari was spent without much luck, until all the jeeps converged near a water hole for a 'tiger sighting'. Pintails, and couple of other ducks were at the water hole. Then, Sambhar alarm call. Expectation was rised, but I knew my luck – I had seen and missed many such moments. I clicked images of anxious people waiting for some big cat.
From Manish on extreme right to Anirudh on extreme left, all waiting anxiously for Tiger!
After about 20-25min of wait, all jeeps started leaving one after the other. Two of the jeeps left. Our jeep started to leave. Just then, one group of people excitedly got off their jeep and started clicking photos. I thought a tiger appeared!
We jumped off the jeep and check out this little fellow:
Draco – The flying lizard, known for brilliant camouflage
Got back to the camp for a sumptuous breakfast. And then we all posed for customary group photograph.
As i drove back home, just outside the camp saw a huge Naja naja – good end to a fantastic trip.

Now its onto the long process of building the body out of aluminum. The entire trailer was build by me in a CAD program. So from that I disassembled the parts of the trailer (tubing) and made cut lists. A friend of mine came to help start making all the cuts. Jim, the customer, arrived after the first couple weeks of building at took over cutting the material.
All the base tubing is clamped into the chassis.
The outside edges (corners) are welded together with my aluminum wire feed attachment to my welder.
Once welded all of the anchor holes are drilled. The top holes are larger to allow the bolt head and socket to clear.
I made a quick jig on my steel table and made the wheel wells. Then welded them on.
The body frame was secured to the chassis with self tapping bolts. Up rights for the lower walls are also cut and ready for welding on.(on tongue)
Next I start working on the rear kick up. Notches are made to create the correct bend. This was also designed in CAD. Makes production go much faster.
This is how the kick ups are to be placed.
Lower section of the wall welded and kick ups welded in place.
Lower wall mostly complete.
Extra bracing is placed in the corners.
A temporary cross bar was placed between the tops of the lower wall. This helped from warping while welding. Aluminum warps a ton when heat is applied.
So far looking good.
Middle wall started.
The middle wall on the back was tricky to keep square. I used a piece of steel tubing to help. This steel tube was also used on the lower walls.
Top bars on the middle wall set in place.
Upper perimeter completed. The customer Jim standing inside. He's over 6 foot tall by the way. Jim also put in a plywood floor. The original plan was to use a composite material for the floor, though in a time crunch we opted for plywood instead. The underside of the plywood was coated with bed liner material.
A crap ton of clamps were used to fasten the aluminum to the steel tubing, so everything stayed plum and square.
Next I work on the rear windows.
Another angle of the windows.

For decades, Biscayne Boulevard was a regal stretch of road, a tropical gateway to paradise. Visitors were greeted with smooth asphalt, clean family-friendly motels and towering palm trees. Today, of course, it's mostly commuters that flow into Miami via Biscayne, and they are assaulted daily by never ending views of annoying construction, hourly motels and hookers. The royal palm trees are the only attractive thing about Biscayne these days.
But even they may disappear. The Florida Department of Transportation has already uprooted 130 palm trees on Biscayne because of the construction. They are supposed to be replaced with Oak trees, which will provide shade, according to state plans.
But a group of Miami residents is fighting the change. On Monday night — a dark and stormy one, no less -- five people held signs on the corner of Biscayne and 68th St., in protest of chopping down any more trees. They especially want to save the hundreds of trees still standing south of 36th Street.

"I'm here to support Biscayne Boulevard and her palms," said Sean-Paul Melito, who was holding a sign that said "A Royal Shame." He has already lobbied lawmakers to designate the road as a Scenic Transportation Corridor.
"The palms have been an iconic symbol of our city," he said, adding that the FDOT was supposed to relocate the palms to Watson Island, but two-thirds of the trees have died.
Melito and the handful of other protestors offered informational flyers and cupcakes to the passing drivers. The flyers showed a 1950s-era postcard of Biscayne, calling it "one of the most beautiful boulevards in America."

Premier and Minister for Trade
The Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk
Deputy Premier, Treasurer and Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships
The Honourable Jackie Trad
Minister for Natural Resources, Mines and Energy
The Honourable Dr Anthony Lynham
The hunt is on for resources jobs of the future, as the Palaszczuk Government sinks $13.8 million into finding the minerals needed for advanced electronics and renewable technologies.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the investment package would open up the untapped 'new economy' minerals bounty in North Queensland and foster new discoveries, projects and jobs.
"Global demand is set to soar for cobalt and rare earth minerals needed for wind turbines, generators and batteries and copper needed for electric cars and the North is rich in these new economy mineral," Ms Palaszczuk said.
"Our five-year package aims to encourage new exploration, re-investigate old mines and probe the geological information government holds already.
"Some of these new-age minerals are found with more traditional minerals – like rare earths with phosphate – which is why we will be looking at some of our old mines for new opportunity."
Deputy Premier and Treasurer Jackie Trad said today's funding announcement builds on the commitments made in this year's budget to reduce rail access charges on the Townsville to Mount Isa Rail Line and build a new a new common user rail freight terminal to handle freight more efficiently at the Port of Townsville.
"We are delivering a complete pit to port package for the North West Minerals Province because we want to create more jobs in the resources sector," Ms Trad said.
"Industry has backed our plan because we are doing what it takes to grow jobs in the region."
"We aren't just talking about the North West Mineral Province, we are making the North West an investment and jobs powerhouse."
The package announced today comprises:
- $4.8 million to re-examine old mine tailings and core samples for new age minerals
- $9 million to unearth more and better geological information to help industry identify new projects, including $3.5 million in industry grants over five years for new and innovative exploration activities
Mines Minister Dr Anthony Lynham said the information drive will use a range of exploration techniques, including aerial magnetic and gravity surveys, as well as encouraging exploration companies to explore promising areas themselves with the extra grants.
"The findings from our own surveys and studies will encourage further exploration and the eventual future development of new mining projects in Queensland," Dr Lynham said.
"This is a practical way to help industry to explore Queensland further, and for new minerals, focussing on a massive corridor reaching from the west of Mount Isa to Townsville.
"The resources sector is already a massive contributor to Queensland's regional economies.
"Over the year to August 2019, Queensland's minerals exports topped $10.5 billion, supporting more than 19,000 mineral mining jobs.
"The demand for jobs in the resources sector is already on the rise and this investment will drive the evolution of projects and jobs of the future delivering minerals of the future."
The new funding builds on previous commitments including $39 million in the 2017 budget for the North West Queensland Economic Diversification strategy, $380 million of previous funding commitments for the Mount Isa Rail Line and $80 million to reduce rail access charges on the Townsville to Mount Isa Rail Line, bringing the total commitment to initiatives that support the North West Minerals Province and economic diversification to $557.3 million.

So why not a mobility buggy version? And why precisely are mobility buggies not capable of 100 mph? Discrimination?
Practicality tends to take a back seat when you combine sci-fi cult status with custom chopper building – and there's no room for a pillion passenger on the Lightcycle. We first spied Parker Brothers Choppers Lightcycle project last year when it surfaced in gas-powered form, now the company has released video of a fully-electric version of the neon-packing two-wheeler in action. The electric motor may be quieter, but this one's still guaranteed to turn heads.

The ingredients of the original VigRX comprise only safe, yet effective, herbal ingredients that have given thousands of men over the years a big boost to their self confidence and sex lives.

What constitutes a large or small penis?
Is penis size really all that important? More precisely, is it important today? In ancient times, men did not worry about penis size because it was not an issue at all. Just look at the statues of Greek and Roman gods. A large penis could be a disadvantage in hand to hand combat and people back then viewed large penises as comical and unsightly.
Today however, our society has become "phallocentric," and every guy wants to have a large penis (at least in secret). Some men are so concerned about others looking down on their penis size that they make requests to the companies which manufacture penile enhancers to put down a different name on their credit card statements.
Most men have a very vague idea about the true size of their penises and consider themselves as below average, when in fact; they are of average size, or above average. Most sex experts say that women do not rate penis size as important, but just try convincing any man about that. Generally, men who believe they have large penises are more self confident than men who think otherwise. Penis size is a really big issue these days.
For most men out there, the average erect penis size is roughly 5-6 inches long. That's not very long if you ask me. According to the International Journal of Impotence, the average penis length is 5.35 inches or 13.6 cm. A 1991 Lifestyle Condoms survey put it as 5.9 inches, or 14.9 centimeters. Then, you have an old survey done by Alfred C Kinsey way back in 1948 that concluded the average penis size was 6.21 inches.
Such variance exists because of differences in genetics, diet and exposure to pollution. Especially these days, the foods we eat are contaminated with many types of chemicals and pesticides, which could have negative effects on our growth, height, DNA, and genital size. These variations could also be due to inconsistent measurement of the penis.
Based on these findings, a large penis size would be something in the region of 8 inches and more. The biggest penis size so far documented is 13.5 inches. Large penis size does not appear to have any relation to reproductive ability, but in the porn industry, a large penis is an essential prerequisite for any male actor. And of course, with all the hype about a large penis, having one that is of reasonable size at least, helps in quite a number of situations.
One thing to remember, is that the size of a penis in a flaccid state, has no relation to its size when erect. Some irresponsible products make claims that their product can enlarge the penis even in a flaccid state. This is scientifically untrue. Real penis size is always taken to mean the size during a full fledged erection.
If you're looking to get a larger erection, make sure the solution you choose is both safe and healthy at the same time. This means herbal based penis enlargement pills like the popular VigRX Plus, are the best way to go.

Almost half of Which? members have complications when buying new bathroom components, and 38% run into problems when having a new bathroom installed, according to a recent survey.
We asked 3,982 Which? members to tell us how their most recent new bathroom renovation had gone. Of those who had complications with the components they'd ordered, toilets were most often what caused the hold-up. When it came to bathroom installation, the most common complaint was that the work took longer than originally planned.
Read on to find out the top problems our members experienced and quick tips to help you avoid them. If you've been unlucky enough to have something go wrong with your bathroom fitting, we'll also explain how to resolve the problem.
If you're in the process of buying a bathroom, head to our bathroom reviews to find out how customers rate companies such as Victoria Plum, Homebase and Bathstore.
Common bathroom buying problems
Below are the five areas in which people most commonly had problems with their new bathroom components:
Other problems were related to flooring (4%), tiling (3%) and vanity units around the sink (3%).
How to avoid problems with your new bathroom
When you're shopping for bathroom components, look out for the CE mark, as this shows that the product has been tested and is 'fit for purpose'. Also check whether the company you're buying from is part of a recognised body, such as the Bathroom Manufacturers Association, as they'll have to meet certain standards.
You can also use our bathroom reviews to see how customers rate brands for quality of products, customer service, value for money and durability.
Bathroom installation issues
Our survey also found that 38% of members had had trouble with their new bathroom installation.
Other last-minute changes and frustrations included:
- incurring extra costs during the installation due to necessary extra work (5%)
- installation delayed by the installer (5%)
- installation delayed as parts/components were not available when needed (4%)
- components not fitting as well as they should (4%).
Getting your bathroom installed
41% of the people we surveyed used an installer they found themselves (most likely an independent trader). 30% of people used the company from which they bought the bathroom to install it.
Before you commit to a bathroom installer, take a look at our bathroom installation page. It reveals customer ratings for three big-name companies, alongside independent traders.
To find a reputable independent trader in your area, head to Which? Trusted Traders. All our traders have been through background checks and are signed up to our code of conduct.
Bathroom delivery times
For most people (40%), it took between a week and a month to have their bathroom delivered and installed. 8% got it done very speedily – less than a week from start to finish.
For 28%, it took between one and two months, and for 15%, a drawn-out two to three months.
It can take longer if you're getting bespoke pieces made or order parts that aren't readily available. Other reasons for a slower process can include a complicated installation.
When you agree to your new bathroom, make sure the company you order it from gives you in writing a time frame for delivery. This should encourage them to stick to the deadline. If you're using an independent fitter, make sure they are aware of the timings you've been given.
Your rights when things go wrong
For most people (32%), the problem they'd encountered with their new bathroom component was resolved within a week. But for an unfortunate 23%, the issue was yet to be resolved at the time of the survey.
We would recommend acting quickly if you identify a problem. If you've received a product that's broken or not as you expected, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 is in place to protect you. It states that goods you buy must be:
- Of satisfactory quality: They shouldn't be faulty or damaged when you receive them.
- Fit for purpose: They should be fit for the purpose for which they were supplied.
- As described: They must match the description given to you, or any models or samples shown to you at the time of purchase.
If what you've bought doesn't satisfy any one of the three criteria outlined above, you have the right to make a claim under the Consumer Rights Act.
Your rights are against the retailer – the company that sold you the product – not the manufacturer, so you must take any claim to the retailer.
You'll need to do so within 30 days of taking ownership of the product. After 30 days, you will not be legally entitled to a full refund if your item develops a fault, although some sellers may offer you an extended refund period.
The Consumer Rights Act also applies to services, including bathroom installation. A trader must perform the service with reasonable care and skill. If they don't, you're entitled to have the work redone within a reasonable time, at no extra cost to you.

Have you spent hours stressing, researching, agonising and slaving over your child's birthday cake?
Well when I saw this cake for the first time, I couldn't believe it. It's such a simple idea, but Oh so gorgeous. And unique!
Cover a cake with white fondant and then let the Birthday child decorate it with food colour markers. Why didn't I think of it before??
Rosie at Sweetapolita made this Rainbow Doodle Birthday Cake for her daughter Reese.
It actually gets technical when you cut the cake open and discover this:
…but if you want to keep it simple you could have a simple cake underneath the white fondant.
The rainbow cake does of course look quite spectacular. If you have seen pictures of it before and wondered how it's done, Rosie provides instructions in her blog here (just scroll down the page for recipe).

Mark Zuckerberg & Bill Gates Loses 3.4 Billion To Brexit
The world's richest man, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder of Facebook, have lost $3.4 billion to the decision of the UK voters to leave the European Union.
According to Bloomberg Billionaires ranking, both men were the worst-hit billionaires in the United States, losing $1.8 billion and $1.6 billion respectively.
In context, the amount lost by Gates is more than the entire wealth of Nigeria's richest woman, Folorunsho Alakija, who – according to Forbes – is worth $1.73 billion.
Global markets erased another $69.2 billion from the combined net worth of the world's 400 richest people on the first trading day of the week after the Brexit vote, bringing total loss to $196.2 billion in 48 hours.
The pain on Monday was felt most by Europe's wealthiest, as 92 billionaires lost $29.4 billion, bringing their two-day decline to $81.7 billion.
These 150 billionaires from the US and Canada lost $26.7 billion on Monday, and recorded a two-day total of $62.5 billion.
China's 26 billionaires lost $1 billion Monday, bringing their two-day total loss to $5 billion, with a 7.4 percent ($18.7 billion) decline in 2016.
Georg Schaeffler, Germany's third-richest person, fared the worst on the index Monday with $1.9 billion trimmed from his net worth.
Amancio Ortega, a Spanish retailer, who is Europe's richest person, lost $1.5 billion.

Although more than one-third of Australia's entire trade is now with China, in many transactions, contacts are more important than contracts.
Stonewall Resources, a gold company listed on the ASX with a gold project in South Africa, has been caught in a clash between the new China, which is upholding the rule of law, and the old China where personal relationships come first.
Outsiders view it as bribery and cronyism, the Chinese call it guanxi, which crudely translates as "connections" but which carries more complex cultural nuances pertaining to mutual obligation and to the giving and receiving of gifts and favours.
Last year, Stonewall Resources was awarded $12.6 million damages by Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre against a Chinese company that pulled out of an agreement under Australian contract law to buy shares.
Last month, Chinese Courts recognised the award, confirmed jurisdiction and said they would enforce the award.
Now however, the Chinese company, Shandong Qixing Iron Tower, has apparently gone to a local police station to reopen the case, which Stonewall's chairman says is an attempt to create noise and confusion while delaying the inevitable and perhaps trying to influence a judge.
The significance of this story is that Stonewall is by no means the only company where Australian law has failed to prevail against Chinese personal relationships, and it will not be the last. It pays to know who you are dealing with, one observer told michaelwest.com.au this week.
At the macro level in China, nothing much is happening by way of transactions right now as the Communist Party has its once in five years meeting coming up which will guide reform and policy for the next five years.
Traditionally, nothing happens in the next few weeks leading to the meeting although the reform outcomes are said to be known within the high echelons of the Party. Neither have the dates been revealed though it should be October.
This is a critical event for the world and particularly our region as China may wish to further subsume Hong Kong, leaving the way for Singapore to dominate the region as a low-tax centre for commerce. Capital controls and the issue of the fixed currency will also be discussed.
President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang are expected to keep their jobs.

Mineral Carbonation International (MCi), an Australian company, is conducting research into a technology for the capture and storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) by means of mineral carbonation. Its aim is to make use of waste CO2 as a raw material for the production of "green" construction products, with a view to reducing global CO2 emissions.
Working with other companies as part of a joint venture, MCi is analysing the entire processing chain. The world's first pilot plant to investigate this technology has been constructed at the University of Newcastle (UON) in Australia.
CO2 is generally accepted as one of the most important contributory factors responsible for the greenhouse effect and global warming. MCi teamed up with the GreenMag Group, Orica – the world's biggest supplier of commercial explosives, and mineral processing chemicals such as fertilizer – and UON to form a joint venture which aims to prove the technical feasibility and economic viability of mineral carbonation as a sustainable industrial solution for the capture, storage and utilisation of CO2.
The world's first pilot plant for mineral carbonation has been up and running since 2013 in the UON. Technology from Siemens is used for plant automation.
Tried and tested automation
In support of the project, the joint venture has received generous research funding from the government and from Orica. This has enabled MCi to gather and license the necessary expertise to allow captured CO2 to be used as a raw material for the green production of construction materials such as cement and plasterboard.
By creating value, the costs of the transformation are covered, meaning that the technology offers potential from both the economic and the ecological perspective to close the carbon loop without creating hazardous waste.
In the pilot plant, CO2 captured from the production of ammonium nitrate, a component of both fertilisers and commercial explosives, can be used to manufacture solid carbonate and amorphous, i.e. non-crystalline, silica.
Alongside research into the scalability of mineral carbonation processes for industrial use, the pilot project is also looking at the development of new technologies for storing CO2 which are economically viable and can be used on a large scale.
For this, the pilot plant is equipped with a distributed control system (DCS) from Siemens, which ensures compliance with the plant's stringent automation and process reliability requirements. This equipment ensures that MCi is able to retain a high degree of flexibility, with a view to upscaling the current basic technology.
The DCS hardware is composed of two frequency converters for control of the various tank agitators and the high-performance grinding mill. The system helps MCi to keep a close eye on every step of its implementation, and also offers it scope to record all the process data required for detailed analysis of the energy requirements and the overall process output.
For a clean future
The results to date indicate that with further process optimisation, mineral carbonation may certainly be expected to become an economically viable method of "CO2 recycling", which will ultimately help to reduce industrial carbon emissions and global warming, paving the way for a cleaner energy future.

Here I was wondering how to use Leah's Flying Geese pattern. I love how it looks like vegetation in your quilt. Your work makes me smile.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Gwyned. I'm glad I found Leah's site, as soon as I saw her flying geese pattern I knew I had to use it in this quilt.Delete
Lovely quilting - love your quilt :-)ReplyDelete
Welcome to Leah's world. She is a wonderful teacher. I too found her after purchising a 7700. Your quilt is beautiful.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you.I agree with you , she is a wonderful teacher.Delete
Awesome! I've been making stencils with my Silhouette Portrait too! I love this! What kind of plastic did you use? Do you have the upgraded software for your Silhouette or the software that came with it. I'm wanting to upgrade but want to talk to someone else who has it first.ReplyDeleteReplies
I upgraded the software and find it easier to use. The material I use to make the stencils is Dura-lar .005 matte film. It is a wonderful material since you can wash it and re-use it several times.
Your FMQ really adds so much to your fun armadillos. Love it!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Christina.Delete
Lovely! I'd love to hear more about the Silhouette....I keep on thinking about the cutters...but I'm not sure how to make a choice!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Lisa. I would work more with this machine in my next posts.Delete
I love the armadillos! Found your blog through Off the Wall Fridays and now I'm adding it to my reader.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Mandy. I hope you can find some inspiration through my work.Delete
I love it! I also love how you used the flying geese. Wonderful texture!ReplyDelete
