Deep Inside - A Study of 10,000 Porn Stars | Jon Millward - Blog. ‘Without any mental deliberation, picture the average female porn star. Just let her spring into your mind’s eye looking however she looks. Can you see her?’ I can’t recall how I first heard about the Internet Adult Film Database—the self-proclaimed ‘premier resource for information about the American porn community on the web’, but for the longest time I knew I wanted to plunder its treasure trove of juicy information. It holds the records of over 120,000 porn films and 115,000 adult performers and is the adult equivalent of the Internet Movie Database. In a nutshell, if you’re a fan of porn or porn stars and want to look up almost anything to do with either—whether it’s the release date of Dude, I Banged Your Mother 6, or the first time Courtney Cummz had sex on film with a black man—you go to IAFD.com. ‘…the largest infographic I’ve ever created plus a 5,000 word report containing every single result…’ Now, on with the show.

Illustration by Charlie Powell What do we owe our tormentors? It’s a question that haunts those who had childhoods marked by years of neglect and deprivation, or of psychological, physical, and sexual abuse at the hands of one or both parents.

Despite this terrible beginning, many people make it out successfully and go on to build satisfying lives. Now their mother or father is old, maybe ailing, possibly broke. With a sense of guilt and dread, these adults are grappling with whether and how to care for those who didn’t care for them. Emily Yoffe is a contributing editor at the Atlantic. Rochelle, 37, wrote to me in my role as Slate’s Dear Prudence because of the pressure she was getting from friends to reach out to her mother. Rochelle started waitressing when she was 15. That was Rochelle’s breaking point—after that, she didn’t see her mother for the next 13 years. The visits took a toll. There is no formula for defining one’s obligations to the parents who didn’t fulfill their own.

The Zweihänder (German for "two hander", also called Great sword, Bidenhänder, Schlachtschwert[1] or Bihänder), is a two-handed sword primarily of the Renaissance. It is a true two-handed sword because wielding it requires two hands, unlike other large swords that also can be used with one.[2] The Zweihänder swords seamlessly develop from the German "Langschwert" (longsword) of the Late Middle Ages and became a hallmark weapon of the German Landsknechte from the time of Maximilian I (d. 1519) and during the Italian Wars of 1494–1559.

The Goliath Fechtbuch (1510) shows an intermediate form between longsword and Zweihänder These swords represent the final stage in the trend of increasing size that started in the 14th century. Morphology[edit] Early Zweihänders were simply larger versions of hand and a half swords. Some Zweihänders had wavy blades and were called Flammenschwert.

Is Dan Gilbert Courting Urban Outfitters For Z-Site? - Renderings Revealed. Monday, January 7, 2013, by Paul Beshouri [Image via Bedrock] Bedrock's website features a new close-up of Dan Gilbert's planned Z-Lot development — now officially branded as the Z-Site — that prominently features the holy grail of retail: Urban Outfitters.

This means one of two things: Either this rendering is a best-case scenario of sorts, and Mr. Gilbert is crossing all ten fingers and toes that the Z-Site will one day lure an Urban Outfitters to Detroit (and some other very specific retailers), or he really has persuaded Urban Outfitters into possibly leasing its own Z-Site. Could it be? We're still awaiting a response to our inquiries with Bedrock, but our money is on this rendering simply being a wishlist of sorts, especially since the Bedrock website lists all 33,000 square feet of Z-Site retail space as still being available.

Death Notices » from Michigan.com. Metro Times: Restaurant Review: Hygrade Delicatessen Restaurant in Detroit. The Hygrade Deli was recommended to me by former state Rep. Steve Tobocman of Southwest Detroit — and when a government guy tells you to do something, you have to do it, right? Oh, wrong: That's the Obama death panels; sorry, I was confused. Anyway, Tobocman not only wanted to help out his constituents — the Hygrade has a large ratio of staff to customers — he also appreciates the quality corned beef, 400 pounds of it served each week. It's by far the deli's biggest seller. You can't walk in without thinking "time warp," what with the diner chairs with their sparkly blue, red and gold seats, the counter with its low stools and the motherly and well-informed waitresses who really do seem to care.

Banter among the staff and customers is nonstop. Is the cornrowed counterman good-looking, or not? The Hygrade Deli started 55 years ago in the old Western Market that sprawled across the 18th and Michigan area. I may like the corned beef hash even better. Cassandra Peterson. Biography[edit] Born in Manhattan, Kansas, Peterson grew up near Randolph, until the area was flooded to create Tuttle Creek Reservoir; her family then moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado.

According to a 2011 interview, Peterson states that as a child, while other girls were occupied with Barbie dolls, she was more fascinated by horror-themed toys.[1] During her teens, Peterson worked as a go-go dancer in a local gay bar.[2] She has also played non-Elvira roles in many other films, most notably Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985) with friend and fellow Groundling Paul Reubens (as his Pee-wee Herman character) and Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold (1985) starring Richard Chamberlain and Sharon Stone. Career[edit] Early career[edit] Peterson auditioned for the role of Ginger Grant for the third Gilligan's Island television movie in 1981, shortly before KHJ-TV offered her the horror-host position.[8] Peterson also was a personality on Los Angeles radio station KROQ 106.7 from 1982 to 1983.

Following Elon Musk’s initial denouncement of The New York Times for publishing a fake review of the Tesla Model S electric car, he has now published the actual logs recorded by the car — and boy are they damning. In short, the NYT’s John Broder lied through his teeth to smear electric vehicles in general, and the Model S in specific.

The basic premise of John Broder’s story for The Times was that the car lied about its self-reported estimated remaining range; when it said there was 79 miles left in the batteries, there was in actual fact only 60. Eventually, after a few such cases of the on-board computer misreporting the estimated range, and apparently through no fault of his own, his Model S ran out of juice and had to be towed to the nearest charging station. The vehicle’s logs, published today by Elon Musk, tell a very different story. Tesla’s logs from John Broder’s Model S test drive: Speed It gets better. Speaking of charging, not once did Broder recharge his Model S fully. Read Undying Happiness Manga and/or Comics - Chapter 1: Undying Happiness (One-shot) - Page Manga Cover. Fictional recreational drugs : wikipedia. List of fictional medicines and drugs.

The use of fictional medicine and drugs has history in both fiction (usually fantasy or science fiction) and the real-world. In fiction, drugs and medicine have served as analogues to real-world drugs, giving color and depth to the fictional world. They are often included by authors in order to create or to reduce the utopian/ideal nature of their fictional world[1] and to introduce harsh realism and dystopia.[2][3] In the real world, fictional drugs have been used in scientific studies as markers to determine unreliability for survey participants who are asked to provide their history of drug usage.[4][5] The following list of fictional medicines and drugs is limited to drugs appearing in works of fiction.

Some of the listed items may be used as both medicine and recreation or in other capacities, but fictional works are often vague on such distinctions. Grouping is made according to primary usage within the fictional work. Fictional medicines[edit] Recreational[edit] See also[edit] Adrenochrome. Chemistry[edit] In vivo, adrenochrome is synthesized by the oxidation of epinephrine. In vitro, silver oxide (Ag2O) is used as an oxidizing agent.[2] Its presence is detected in solution by a pink color. The color turns brown upon polymerization. Effect on the brain[edit] Several small-scale studies (involving 15 or fewer test subjects) were done in the 50s and 60s, reporting that adrenochrome triggered psychotic reactions like thought disorder, derealization, and euphoria.[3] It has never been scientifically accepted, however, that adrenochrome has psychedelic properties.[4] Researchers Abram Hoffer and Humphry Osmond claimed that adrenochrome is a neurotoxic, psychotomimetic substance and may play a role in schizophrenia and other mental illnesses.[5] In what they called the "adrenochrome hypothesis",[6] they speculated that megadoses of vitamin C and niacin could cure schizophrenia by reducing brain adrenochrome.[7][8] Law[edit] Adrenochrome is uncontrolled in the United States.

Ash King felt as if he had spent his adult life searching for some sort of sexual intimacy. Born with a severe spinal and muscular condition, sex was something he still hadn't experienced by the age of 35 and he was afraid that, with his disability making him increasingly weak, he never would. In 2010, after becoming isolated and depressed, King decided to hire a sex worker. "I couldn't make someone fall in love with me," he says, "but I could at least learn about my sexual potential and more about women by paying a sex worker. " Looking back at his first sexual encounter, King describes it as an "enlightenment".

The sexual needs of people with disabilities are under the spotlight like never before after the release of Oscar-nominated film The Sessions, which is based on the true of story of a man confined to an iron lung who loses his virginity to a "sexual surrogate". In the UK, paying for sex is not against the law but it is illegal to solicit sexual services. "I want to build a Website like Amazon but better, and only pay $1000" : webdev.

Christopher Dorner and the California Death Penalty. At this moment, it looks like Christopher Dorner, the ex-L.A.P.D. officer who’s been terrorizing Southern California for the past week, died on Tuesday in a confrontation with his pursuers. A San Bernardino deputy sheriff was also killed; Dorner has already been charged with the murder of another officer, and is alleged to have killed two other people. In a lengthy post on Facebook last week, Dorner said that the motive for his rampage was an unjust dismissal from the L.A.P.D. several years ago. If Dorner didn’t die (and is later caught), we can be sure that one or more district attorneys will seek to have him executed. And thus the nation would be forced to confront one of the biggest fiascoes in the American legal system—the death penalty in California. It’s possible for reasonable people to hold differing opinions on the death penalty.

There are several reasons that the system in California has ground to a halt. The death penalty is not the only issue raised by the Dorner case. Drainage divides in North America [900x900] : MapPorn.

Giving up the Green Bitch: Reflections on Cannabis, Ayahuasca and the mystery of plant teachers by Graham Hancock. I have some personal stuff to share here and I intend to do so with complete openness in the hope that my experiences will prove helpful to some, thought-provoking to others, and might stir up discussion around issues of consciousness and cognitive liberty that are often neglected in our society. I'll soon be on on my way to Brazil for what has become pretty much an annual pilgrimage to drink the visionary brew known as Ayahuasca, the "Vine of Souls", sacred amongst shamanistic cultures of the Amazon for thousands of years.

I’m not doing this for fun, or for recreation. Drinking Ayahuasca is an ordeal. It is, for a start, amongst the most horrible tastes and smells on the planet – a mixture of foot-rot, raw sewage, battery acid, sulfur and just a hint of chocolate. So… I’m bracing myself. I know how strange this may sound to those who have never drunk the Amazonian brew and never encountered “Mother Ayahuasca” in one of her many forms. I had smoked DMT before. Turned out I was wrong.

When The U.S. Paid Off The Entire National Debt (And Why It Didn't Last) : Planet Money. On Jan. 8, 1835, all the big political names in Washington gathered to celebrate what President Andrew Jackson had just accomplished. A senator rose to make the big announcement: "Gentlemen ... the national debt ... is PAID. " That was the one time in U.S. history when the country was debt free.

It lasted exactly one year. By 1837, the country would be in panic and headed into a massive depression. We'll get to that, but first let's figure out how Andrew Jackson did the impossible. It helps to remember that debt was always a choice for America. After the revolution, the founding fathers debated whether or not to just wipe clean all those financial promises made during the war. Deciding to default "would have ruined our credit and would have left the economy on a very agricultural, subsistence basis," says Robert E. So the U.S. agreed early on to consolidate the debts of all the states — $75 million. During the good times, the country tried to pay down the debt. Oliver Stone. William Oliver Stone (born September 15, 1946) is an American film director, screenwriter, producer and military veteran. Stone came to public prominence between the mid-1980s and the early 1990s for writing and directing a series of films about the Vietnam War, in which he had participated as an infantry soldier.
