Real Love
We are told that people stay in love because of chemistry or because they remain intrigued with each other, because of many kindnesses, because of luck... But part of it has got to be forgiveness and gratefulness. Ellen Goodman (1941 - )

L.A. to Use Laser Heat Ray Gun on Prisoners

The mechanism, known as an "Assault Intervention Device," is a stripped-down version of a military gadget that sends highly focused beams of energy at people and makes them feel as though they are burning. The Los Angeles County sheriff's department plans to install the device by Labor Day, making it the first time in the world the technology has been deployed in such a capacity.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California criticized Sheriff Lee Baca's decision in a letter sent Thursday, saying that the technology amounts to a ray gun at a county jail. The 4-feet-tall weapon, which looks like a cross between a robot and a satellite radar, will be mounted on the ceiling and can swivel.
It is remotely controlled by an operator in a separate room who lines up targets with a joystick.
In 2008, CBS News correspondent David Martin reported on the military's development of a version of the gun for use in Iraq - and faced the weapon himself. He said it "felt like scalding water."
See video below
It's a gun that doesn't look anything like a gun: it's that flat dish antenna which shoots out a 100,000-watt beam at the speed of light, hitting anything in its path with an intense blast of heat.
An operator uses a joystick to zero in on a target. Visible only with an infrared camera, the gun, when fired emits a flash of white hot energy - an electromagnetic beam made up of very high frequency radio waves, Martin reported.
The ACLU said the weapon was "tantamount to torture," noting that early military versions resulted in five airmen suffering lasting burns. It requested a meeting with Baca, who declined the invitation.
The sheriff unveiled the device last week and said it would be installed in the dorm of a jail in north Los Angeles County. It is far less powerful than the military version and has various safeguards in place, including a three-second limit to each beam of heat.
The natural response when blasted - to leap out the way - would be helpful in bringing difficult inmates under control and quelling riots, the sheriff said.
But the sheriff was creating a dangerous environment with "a weapon that can cause serious injury that is being put into a place where there is a long history of abuse of prisoners," ACLU attorney Peter Eliasberg said. "That is a toxic combination."
Cmdr. Bob Osborne, who oversees technology for the sheriff's department, said the concerns were unfounded. He said he stood in front of the beam more than 50 times and that it never caused any sort of lasting damage.
"The neat thing with this device is you experience pain but you are not injured by it," Osborne said. "It doesn't injure your skin, the beam doesn't have the power to do that."
Watch David Martin undergo the gun:
He said the device would be a more humane way of dealing with jail disturbances. Unlike hitting inmates with batons or deploying tear gas, a shot from the beam has no aftereffects, he said.
The device was made specifically for the sheriff's department by Raytheon Missile Systems. Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said its $750,000 cost was paid for by a Department of Justice technology grant.
After a six-month trial, the sheriff will determine if the device is effective and if it should be deployed in other jails.
"When this pilot program is done, the realistic hope is it will accomplish not only what the sheriff's department wants but what the ACLU wants, which is to save lives harmlessly," Whitmore said.
See additional videos below
A Raytheon spokesman on Thursday referred questions to the sheriff's department, but provided a fact sheet describing how the device only penetrates skin to a depth 1/64 of an inch. The military's version of the device can shoot a beam more than 800 feet but the sheriff's department model has a maximum range of 85 feet.
Angelica Arias, an attorney with the county's Office of Independent Review, which monitors the sheriff's department, said only deputies with special training would be able to use the device and a video would be automatically recorded each time it is operated.
"Based on the level of scrutiny the department has put on itself and its training, it doesn't appear there would be too much wiggle room for misuse," Arias said.

Vajazzling the vajay jay...
Recently I have heard sooooo much buzz over Vajazzling.. or decorating your vagina so curiosity got the cat so to speak, because I just had to try it when Babeland's very wonderful affiliates producer Krista offered me their FLAMBOYANT PASTIES SET! Yes, I had to capitalize that! It was more excitement than I have had in some time let me tell you! So I began my wonderful journey, and preparation by going to Stript Wax Bar to get the Brazilian Wax! That was an experience in its-self let me tell you, but the ladies were professional, the 'bar' was clean, and they provided NUMBING SPRAY (which I have never been offered before for a wax), so I will say all in all that went well. Time to get FLAMBOYANT! So I have to say I would have never been able to decorate my own private treasure by gluing on a bunch of crystals, so the only choices that remained were having someone else vajazzle me baby, or by using a peel-n-stick type vajazzle decoration such as the FLAMBOYANT PASTIES SET. The pasties, and the vajazzle design were awesomely beautiful, and they were easy to apply, just peel, and stick. Literally. I also want to mention that I wore my pasties/vajazzle all night, and half of the next day, at which time I peeled it off, cuz I was done having my fun! I love this set, it's hot, hot, hot, and easy as hell!

The truth is not simply what you think it is; it is also the circumstances in which it is said, and to whom, why and how it is said.

OH HOW I CRAVE CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love, love, love chocolate, and that goes for Sweet Beauty Chocolate Body Cream as well!!! This cream is just sooo, well just what it says, sweet, and creamy, and it smells just like the real thing CHOCOLATE! OK, so some of the reasons I really like this Chocolate Body cream are things like natural ingredients, such as Organic Fair Trade Theo Chocolate, and it feels so luxurious on your skin! I always try to avoid harmful ingredients when I purchase products for my body so this fits right in with the rest of my favorites in that it is free of phthalates, parabens, silicones, sulfates, and artificial fragrances. I also love the jar it came in, not only because it was easy to use just the amount I wanted, but also because the little jar was great for re-using! Thank you over and over Babeland you always have the best stuff!
My Desire
Out of all of the slim line style vibes on the market I choose you Desire Vibe from Babeland!!!!!!!!!!! Why you ask?? Well for starters this baby is purple, my favorite color! But honestly I have to tell you that this vibe is cheap, strong, easy to use (just turn the end to turn it on and/or to adjust the intensity/volume), and it is versatile! I mean the Desire vibe is great for internal stimulation (I love the feeling of penetration), and it is great for external stimulation (because in my book clitoral stimulation is a must for orgasmic release!), and you can even use this baby on other parts of the body to stimulate such as perineum, and of course nipples, or even add the Vibrator Upgrade Kit (and of course this baby is available at Babeland too!) to make your very own rabbit style vibrator!
