Increase semen volume – Shoot for the
Stars

Want to have big cum shots? Increase semen volume?
For many men, it is a matter
of confidence, a bigger load is means increased libido,
fertility and potency. When you increase semen volume you also increase pleasure, the
larger the load, the greater number of pleasurable muscle
contractions. So what product can really increase your semen volume?
The family jewels, it is a sign of our
manhood and our strength. Men take all health issues about the
penis seriously. We just want the best and not suffer
humiliation or miss out on great sex. Some worry more on size or
erections, but it all comes down to the big finally,
ejaculation.
Over time, the focus on the power of
ejaculation has increased. Men not only worry about the power of
their ejaculation but also on enjoying sex by having more semen volume in ejaculation. All this affects on our sexual
identity but most important our pleasure and our partners
pleasure.
So are you worried you may not have a potent
semen volume? Worried that it will affect your sex life? When
should a man be concerned about his semen volume and potency?
Sometimes a dramatic decrease in ejaculate volume may indicate
blockage of one of the ejaculatory ducts. This is associated
with the prostate so it’s good to check with your doctor
on this before it gets worse. Decreased semen volume may also
just be a normal part of aging. But you’re not just going
to sit back and let aging to anything else keep you from
enjoying sex. You need a solution that will increase semen volume.
The advantages of having more
semen volume and power are numerous. By increasing semen volume
the load is not only bigger, more impressive and more
pleasurable, but much more potent, too. The larger the volume of
semen and sperm that’s available for each ejaculation, the more
contractions it takes to shoot all of it—and each
contraction is stronger and more intense. The male ejaculation,
typically quite a brief event, can become a much longer-lasting
experience. Your partner will be amazed and you’ll be
satisfied.
So where can you get the magical potion? You
can thank the power of nature. That’s right, nature.
Sometimes we think chemically based medicines provide solutions
but in this case Viagra won’t work and with all the
possible side effects it’s not worth the risk. Nature
provides man with herbs and all natural remedies that promote a
healthier sex life and help increase semen volume and stamina. Take for example horny
goat weed. It’s a self explanatory name of course. This
plant boosts your testosterone and libido thereby giving you a
stronger ejaculation. Other major herbs that will allow you to
shoot father are Maca, muira puama, para para and more other
freaky scientific names. So where can you get these ingredients?
Of course you just can go to your back yard and pick some horny
goat weed or muira puama. These herbs are found in certain
places and grown precisely to provide the best results.
Thanks to major industries, they’ve done all the work for
you. Increase semen volume pills are big on the market right
now, but only a few really give you real results. You have to
make sure that penis pills are 100% natural. Do some
investigation it’s better to be safe then sorry in this
case. Look up the ingredients and make sure that there are no
side effects. With the right dosage and blend of ingredients
your body will be provided with the nutrients needed to create
quality, thick semen with good mobility and life.

What is CCTV?

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) is an installation of directly connected components creating a circuit which cannot be viewed by anybody outside of the circuit.

This is different to a terrestrial television broadcast system which anybody with an antenna and reception equipment can view.

Who needs a CCTV system?

CCTV systems can be found virtually everywhere in these days. They are no longer considered an expensive luxury item, especially when you consider your increased level of security.

CCTV systems can be found in both the private and commercial sector and are used for security/ crime prevention purposes and providing Health and Safety protection to the members of the general public.

You will have seen CCTV systems operating in town centres, football stadiums, high street shops, sports centres, petrol stations, on public transport - the list is endless.

A CCTV system is a proven method of increasing the level of security of your premises. Its visual appearance alone will deter a criminal from approaching or entering your property for fear of being captured and identified on the system.

CCTV solutions can be tailor made to suit individual requirements. They can be as simple as one camera and a monitor, but it is quite common to have multiple cameras/monitors and recording devices in one installation.

The Elements of a CCTV System

There are three basic elements to a CCTV system,

1. Camera
2. Lens
3. Monitor unit

The camera is the element which captures the image and transmits the picture back to a monitor. The camera needs a lens to be able to focus on the subject. There are a wide variety of lenses to suit different applications.

The monitor is the receiver unit which converts the captured image into a picture, allowing you to see it.

Colour or Monochrome?

This is a very common question, but ultimately only you can decide.

A CCTV system should be designed to suit your needs, to fit into the environment on your property. The installing company should provide guidance on the suitability of different options, features and benefits - including colour and monochrome units. It may be that you need a camera that will work in colour during the day and automatically switch to monochrome at night!

Recording

As circumstances don’t normally permit the luxury of having a dedicated person to sit and watch a monitor 24 hours a day, the image captured by the camera needs to be recorded so that it can be viewed later, if necessary.

Traditionally, this was done with a time lapse Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) which worked on the same principle as a domestic video but with the ability to record for a much longer period of time.

However, the VCR has now been superseded by the digital Hard Disk Recorder (HDR). Rather than using tapes, the HDR stores the images on to a hard disk drive similar to the way a home computer stores data.

More than one camera?!

Most systems today comprise of more than one camera, but you don’t; a monitor and recorder for each camera.

Equipment is available that will split the monitor into four separate screens displaying four cameras, or a four way sequence unit can be used which allows you to choose which camera you would like to view. Alternatively, the automatic mode it will sequence through the four cameras that are connected.

However, the most common way of controlling multiple cameras is via a multiplexer.

To keep it simple, a multiplexer incorporates the above facilities but also has the ability to individually code mark each image from each camera and because of this, a multiplexer allows all of the cameras on a system to be recorded onto one tape or hard drive unit. The multiplexer then uses these code marks to play back the recorded picture from the camera that you wish to view.

Historically multiplexers and recording units were separate pieces of equipment, but recently a number of manufactures have developed units that do both jobs.

I want……I need…….

These days, a CCTV system can be designed to fit any scenario you care to imagine, using options from the vast range of equipment available from manufactures worldwide.

For example, cameras can be internal, external, highly visible or covert. They can be static or fully controllable/movable from a remote location. You can have one camera or hundreds; you can record for one day or 21 days. With a suitable internet connection, you can even view your property when you are abroad.
Get the picture??!!!

Quality Counts

Although an avid DIY-er can buy equipment that claims to be a CCTV system from their local store, and electrical companies have jumped onto the CCTV bandwagon and will install systems too, it is always advisable to seek the advice of a specialist company.

Why?

In around 70% of cases, CCTV footage is found to be inadmissible as evidence in a Court of Law because the quality of the evidence is considered inadequate. This can result from the poor design and bad installation of the system and highlights the importance to seek professional advice from the outset

Only a specialist company who are professional in their approach and can demonstrate experience in design and installation should be approached. Most importantly, you must feel confident that the company you choose will listen to and understand your individual CCTV requirements. Their experience with lens optics and camera technology will guarantee you satisfaction with your system.

A specialist company will also ensure the best value for money , for example by using a different lens or camera mounting positions which can not only monitor the area at risk but also give an outline view of the surrounding area at the same time.

Data protection

A CCTV system must be registered in order to comply with the data protection act of 1998.

Since 24 October 2001, it has been a criminal offence to have an unregistered CCTV system that records people in a public or a private place (conditions apply).

The Code of Practice contains legally enforceable ‘Standards’ that must be met to ensure compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

There are also a further 30 points of good working practice which, when used in conjunction with the Standards, are designed to build and maintain public confidence in CCTV systems and to ensure that installers and users operate within the law.

The Code of Practice is available for you to view at www.dataprotection.gov.uk.

The Past, The Present And The Future, A Compulsive Gambler’s Thoughts Part 2 is a collection of poems that express what I was going through during the last ten years of my life. Through this experience I was able to better understand what I was going through before, during and after with my compulsive gambling addiction. You learn an awful lot about your self when you are able to put it into words. In part 2 there two more poems Gaining Control Of My Life and You’re Gambling Addiction Is No Longer To Blame.

Gaining Control Of My Life

Positive thoughts will heal the soul

Tremendous burden has taken its toll

Go forward

Don’t look back

Attitude overhaul

Looking forward to a better tomorrow

It’s not healthy to harp on such sorrow

It doesn’t matter why

I gave it a try

Life’s many tasks will build strong disposition

Being tested with each new situation

Reinvested with brighter days

Smell the flowers enjoy the sun’s rays

What’s in the cards no one really knows

Take the time and let yourself grow

It’s up to me to change how I feel

No one else, has control of the movie reel

No one else knows the correct path to take

It doesn’t matter if I make a mistake

You’re Gambling Addiction Is No Longer To Blame

Tomorrow will come as the sun rises in the east

New opportunities are there, get rid of the beast

Open your eyes and see the beauty of things

Where here as special human beings

Each with qualities unique in every way

Physical characteristics

Personality different from day to day

Boredom comes from within you

Change the patterns and see what you can do

Don’t stop living go on with your dreams

Before you know it, completeness will rule

Focus my inspiration one rainy day

The trees were blooming

Bright, beautiful, colorful

No more assuming

Change the patterns and see what you can do

What do I have to look forward to?

Give all you can to the people around

In turn they will give all they can to you

Each magic day you will feel true

To the one real person that counts are you

Make the change that bonds you to shame

Condemn no one else indeed

It’s up to me to succeed

Don’t always let things be the same

You’re gambling addiction is no longer to blame

A compulsive gambler realizes that his gambling addiction is no longer to blame. This compulsive gambler stopped gambling, but his life was not getting any better. His mind was dwelling on the gambling addiction and not allowing him to move forward. A person who has a gambling addiction does not have to be gambling for the addiction to pre-occupy their mind until they gamble again. I knew one gambler who lost his job and stopped gambling for three months. He was very proud. Unfortunately he was unemployed and had minimal funds to live on. He went back to work and the next thing he was doing was gambling online. The self destructive behavior keeps compulsive gamblers in limbo until they gamble again. Understanding this helps the stop gambling recovery.

Mr. Howard Keith has an extensive background in dealing with compulsive gamblers, relatives and friends of gamblers and teenage gamblers.
Mr. Keith believes there are many alternatives to aid in the recovery of a gambling addiction verses a twelve step program. A large percentage of his emails were from compulsive gamblers looking for an alternative to Gamblers Anonymous and twelve step programs. Gamblers Anonymous also helps a significant number of people each year but there is a large percentage that they are unable to reach.

If you have never seen it you are missing something. If you have never used it thats a shame. If you love art this will blow you away. If your are crafty this will give you a million ideas in a flash of a second. If you are wondering what I am talking about it is Glow in the Dark Paint and Powder.

The use of glow in the dark paints for fine art and craft projects is not widely known. Most people who appreciate art or are artist themselves have probably never heard of it or thought about using glow in the dark paint in their art or for their craft projects. But they should. Glow in the dark powders and paint have come along way. Years ago the best glow in the dark stuff availible was a mixture of Zinc sulfide and copper. It smelled like bad eggs and had a glow time and brightness that was less than impressive. Not true anymore. A new type of glow in the dark powder has arrived and it will blow you away. Called Strontium Aluminate these powders are awsom. If you would like to know more about the chemistry of Strontium please visit www.GloNation.com and you can find out how it works.

The pigments that have been developed are Green, with a glow time around 12 hours, Teal or AKA Aqua 10 hours, Blue, Purple or violet around 4 hours and red around 1/2 an hour. The times I just stated are real they will glow that long. The pigments glow very brightly and are just way cool.

The two premier artist in this medium are Anders Knuttson www.andersknuttson.com and Tom Bacher at www.tombacher.com. These two excellent artist are light years ahead and the pioneers of this type of art. Please visit their sites. The will take your breath away.

For crafters you can use these pigments in more than paint, It works in any clear substance except water. It needs to be suspended. Use it in plastics, silicones, gels if you can think it, you can make it glow.

When painting with it you have to think in a different way. You must remember what will it look like in the dark. You can do some rally cool stuff with it. You can have a canvas it would appear that it is plain white, turn out the lights and you could have a whole painting glowing. The powder can mix in a white paint and glow green red, blue or violet. Neat huh? Make glow in the dark candles. Mix it in with candle gel and they will glow before you even light them.

I hope this gives you a bunch of ideas so throw in the glow and have a blast.

September 1, 2040 - From today you have your own therapist available 24 hours a day, always there if you need someone to talk to, always in a good mood, and remembers every word you have ever said. This is the first automated therapist, with the best knowledge known to mankind on treatment and rehabilitation.

It has been debated for a long time, but with the blessing of major psychological associations, the developing of artificial intelligence, and automated speech (both to recognize to, and from), the government backed free automated therapist has opened her clinic. She has basically got all the knowledge there is about psychotherapy and the human mind, and can guide the patient through the same steps as a professional therapist. Everything the patient says gets calculated in a way to get the proper response, which she of course does as fast as any human.

The system is so advanced that in a blind test that involved 1,400 people no one could tell the difference between the automated therapist and a professional one after a 30 minute session. The therapist is not only prepared to handle basically all kind of questions, but can also tell if a person is lying in the way the talk, and can also ask the person to seek further help if necessary, and in what way.

To get in touch with your personal therapist, you just call the main number where she answers (you can choose if you want to talk to a woman or a man). Your therapist asks you how you are today and the session begins. Everything you say gets recorded so your therapist knows about you next time you call, and can then directly continue where you left off last time. All conversations are also anonymous recorded for the knowledge base of human behavior, for the therapist to develop.

Will this mean that traditional therapists should start looking for new jobs? Probably not. Humans do need humans, especially in times of need. Although the automated therapist has all the knowledge needed and the ability to adjust, she is not in three dimensions for real. In the future she might at least be in two dimensions since they are developing an animated version for a screen appearance.

Impersonating Jed McKenna

By Jed McKenna

“No man is a prophet in his own country.”

That line keeps running through my mind as I sit over lunch with my sister who I haven’t seen in several years. These days I’m the enlightened guy, but to her I’m just the bratty kid who couldn’t make eye contact when she wore a bikini.

It’s summer ‘01 and we’re having lunch in lower Manhattan. She read a preview copy of Damnedest and has had a few months to digest it. It was very nice of her to read it because it’s really not her kind of thing. She’s a good citizen; a successful executive, wife, mother, Republican, tennis nut, Christian-ish, and all-round productive member of society. (She once told me she was raising her children to be productive members of society and I winced so hard I almost chipped a tooth.) She’s a wonderful person, but not a member of the demographic the book speaks to.

There’s a plate of chilled pasta in front of me and a salad in front of her. We’re both drinking iced tea. She’s runs the creative side of a medium-sized ad agency and, I have no doubt, she’s very good at it. She’s taking time out of a busy schedule to have lunch with me. After this, I’m going to the park to lay in the grass and watch people play with their dogs.

Visiting your sister and having lunch shouldn’t be a confusing ordeal, but it is. Is she really my sister? What does that mean? We share some history and acquaintances, such as childhood and parents. Are my parents really my parents? Genetically they are related to my body, but the person who lived my childhood is no longer here. The past I share with this person is about as real and important to me as if I’d read it in a brochure.

The problem is that these people, my family, are all related to my shell, and I’m not. They’re looking at the outer Jed McKenna and assuming an inner Jed McKenna. I’m inside Jed McKenna looking out and I can’t really remember what he’s supposed to do or say. It’s all fakery. I’m an actor playing a role with for which I feel no connection and have no motivation. There cannot be anything genuine in my dealings with people who are dealing with my outer garment. (The whole thing is further entangled by the fact that there’s no “I” inhabiting my shell, just a fading echo, but let’s not go down that road just now.)

Actually, it’s not really confusing. I possess not the least shred of doubt about who and what I am. The tricky thing is that who and what I am is not related to this pretty, professional, salad-eating woman across from me. By coming to this lunch I have inserted myself into a situation where I do not belong. I am an imposter. I have some residual fondness for my sister and if she died I’d be saddened to think that she was no longer in the world, but the simple fact is that our former relationship no longer exists.

Okay, so why am I telling you this?

Because that’s what I do. I try to hold this enlightenment thing up for display and this seems like an interesting aspect of the whole deal. How do you relate to the people who were most important to you before awakening from the dream of the segregated self?

She asks why I’m in town.

“My astrologers told me it was a good time to get away and not try to accomplish anything. They said that ketu and rahu wouldn’t be letting me get anything done for awhile anyway…”

I look up and see that she has stopped chewing in mid-mouthful and is staring at me incredulously.

“What?”

“My astrologers…”

“You’re not serious. You have astrologers?”

Oh yeah. I guess that sounds weird. I was vaguely aware that I was trying to be funny by starting a sentence with “My astrologers told me…” but what’s a little amusing to me is other-worldly to her. Might as well have fun with it.

“I have dozens of astrologers. I can’t swing a dead cat without hitting someone who’s doing my chart or explaining how my future will unfold; advising me on pretty much everything.”

Her expression doesn’t change. “You have astrologers?”

“Lots. Gotta beat ‘em off with a stick.”

“And they tell you… They tell you what the future holds? What you should do? When you should do it? What you should avoid? Is that what we’re talking about?”

“I suppose.”

She resumes chewing but the wide-eyed gaze remains. There’s a chasm in this conversation across which there’s no point trying to communicate. She knows I’m into some serious weirdness, but not how much or what kind. I don’t really have astrologers, of course, but in those days it did seem like I was surrounded by students of Eastern and Western astrology who were always very eager to share their readings.

“What do you do with all that information?”

“Me? Nothing. I mean, I don’t ask for it. It’s not like I wake up and summon the court astrologers to plan my day.”

“Sounds like you do.”

“I was speaking lightly.”

I’m trying to skip playfully along the surface of this conversation. I don’t want to sink down into the kind of answer I’d give a serious student. The truth is that I don’t possess any mechanism that would allow me to be curious or concerned about the future, but saying that doesn’t make for breezy conversation.

“Jesus,” she says, shaking her head. “My little brother has his own astrologers.”

“Well, they’re not really mine. They’re just in attendance, so to speak.”

I’m used to conversing with people who aren’t awake and aren’t happy about it. Everything else is chit-chat; talking for the sake of talking, reinforcing the illusion of self. I’m not against it, I just don’t care to participate in it. My fault.

“So, you obviously have a great deal of influence over your students,” she says as she sips her iced tea. I mull her statement over and decide that I don’t have a response. I take another bite of pasta, wishing I’d ordered something with meat.

“I mean,” she says, “they obviously hold you in very high regard. That’s quite a responsibility.”

She thinks, quite understandably, that she’s my big sister and we’re having a reunion; a nice little catch-up lunch. She’s been thrown a curve with this little-brother/spiritual-master thing and she’s trying to handle it. Does she think I’m a fraud? Does she think I’m running a game? Does she think that underneath it all I’m still really her little brother? I don’t know and I don’t much care. The fact that she’s read Damnedest doesn’t mean that she and I can speak; it means she should know we can’t. She doesn’t seem to be clear on that. Maybe she thinks the enlightenment thing is just my day job and that I can step out of that role to be with someone who knows the real me.

“I don’t know. I suppose it’s a responsibility.”

“You don’t know? Obviously these people are strongly influenced by you. You don’t think that’s a big responsibility?”

I shrug. The first thing she said to me when we got together was that I wasn’t dressed well enough for the restaurant. Such a statement is so alien to me that I could only shrug. Now it seems that every statement she makes is so alien to me that I can only shrug.

In accepting this lunch engagement, my hope was that I could slip back into my old persona enough to manage a civil meal. That was too hopeful. I can no longer impersonate myself and I am simply unable to formulate a reply to anything she has to say; I’ve forgotten my lines. We don’t share a common tongue and there’s no way I can make her see that. From her point of view she’s saying perfectly normal, conversational things.

“Yes, I suppose it’s a big responsibility,” I say, trying to say something that sounds like I’m saying something.

She lowers her voice. “You hear a lot about people in your position taking advantage of that responsibility for… unsavory purposes. I hope you would never do something like that.”

I could simply tell her what the preview copy of the book was meant to tell her, that we are no longer related because what I am now doesn’t relate. But why say it? To satisfy myself? It wouldn’t. To inform her? It wouldn’t.

“You mean sex stuff? That sort of thing?”

“Whatever. Power corrupts. I just hope you’ll be careful.”

Sweet. Big sister giving little brother some advice on how to shoulder the burden of power. Being in advertising, perhaps she thinks we have something in common; wielding the power to influence people’s thoughts. Maybe she thinks we’re in the same business, I don’t know.

I set down my fork and sit back. “Well, when I walk through the house, I always have someone proceed me with a boom-box playing Darth Vader theme music to lend a weighty and ominous air to my approach. And I certainly don’t dress like this. I have, you know, the robes, the beads, and I always carry fresh flowers. Just trappings, all very tiresome, really, but the minions expect it. There was a little resistance at first to having them call me Shri Shri Shri Shri Jed, but they got the hang of it. And remembering to speak in the first person plural there and singular here can take a little getting used to, but we are, I mean, uh, I am, happy to make the effort. Noblesse oblige and all.”

She stares at me for a moment, then bursts into laughter. I guess some ice has broken because we are able to continue in a lighter and friendlier manner, and eventually say goodbye with genuine fondness.

I doubt I’ll ever see her again, but I’m happy knowing she’s still in the world.
