Official kim kardashiansex tape9/12/2023 Ray J also tweeted publicly about the tape - remarking Kim definitely made money from the tape.Īlthough Ray J was fairly silent up until this point, his remarks triggered a flare of activity on social media bringing the issue back to surface.Before her infamous sex tape, Kim Kardashian was a relatively unknown fashion stylist. At this time, she was a celebrity and any tweet that she made brought a lot of attention towards it. She made a remark suggesting that she is defined by her past. In the midst of all this, Vivid leaked the video anyway.Īs if that was not enough, in July 2012, Kim brought up the issue again by writing a tweet that was perceived to reflect back on the issue. Kim responded that she has made many mistakes in her life and the tape was one of them. Jenner denied these allegations and Kris was viewed as a jilted mother. Kris also mentioned that Kim asked for a retake of the movie because it was not well shot. Kim’s ex-husband NBA Kris Humphries made the allegation that Kim was instructed by her mother to shoot the video to become famous and get rich. In June 2012, other reports surfaced that the sex tape was staged by Kim’s “mom-ager” Kris Jenner. Many people viewed this move as a strategy by Vivid Entertainment to better the existing interest on the video. Rumors and word of mouth really catapulted the sex tape to the top.ĭuring the 2011 summer, after Kim and Kris wedding, anonymous rumors regarding the purchase of the rights to the video to get it off the market were heard. Like a Midas touch, the show’s ranking went up immediately so did her popularity. Kim went ahead and made a deal with E! to star in their popular Keeping up with the Kardashian’s show in October 2007. Kim’s status in the celebrity ranking skyrocketed and she has remained in the news circle ever since to become a household name. And Kim made a lot of money from the video: some reports indicated that she made $5 million in her settlement with Vivid. Vivid Entertainment made a lot of money from the viewership of Kim Kardashian Superstar, which is now the most sold celebrity sex tape in history. And not only that, we get to see Kim Kardashian’s big ass and tight little pussy getting stretched in HD! You know what to do… Kim could barely fit Ray J’s BBC in her mouth as you’ll see in the blowjob footage. However, Kim K Superstar was released nevertheless and we got a chance to view the video and enjoy it. Kim’s family is a tight knit family that stood by her side protecting her during the release of the video. Kim went to court in an attempt to stop the release of the video to the public but she was not successful. Vivid made the purchase and named the video Kim Kardashian Superstar. The price of the video was estimated to be around $1 million. Vivid Entertainment saw the value of the video and quickly acquired the rights to the video. The video is not just a short video that is shot with blurry images but a video that is shot with a quality camera, with sexual practices, and a length to meet the desires of enthusiasts. Adult movies websites were not only attracted to the video for its traffic but also because it was a quality video. Kim is involved in sexual escapades with Ray J that matches any other ordinary adult movies. Seeing a mainstream celebrity (that’s always in the news) being pounded like a pornstar is the new normal in this day and age. She loves teasing the camera, and all the horny men in the world that love wanking to her videos. Most of the people who watched the porn video were impressed by Kim’s beauty. The tape was concealed from the public for four years before it was released in 2007. The video that is almost 40 minutes long was shot in 2003. What most people do not know about Kim is that when she and Ray J filmed the sex tape, she was just 18 years old. Simpson in the popular case where he was accused of killing his girlfriend. She was the daughter of Robert Kardashian who became popular after defending O.J. Before the tape, Kim was just another wealthy socialite with a personality.

Shady maple smorgasbord thanksgiving9/12/2023 He was so patronizing to us, that we didn't know where to hide ourselves. He could have offered to at least give me the senior discount, this way he wouldn't have to key in something in the cash registers that he couldn't, but he went on to tell me that afterall, there is a nice dessert bar. I explained to the mgr, why I asked for a discount (and by the way, this was never done in a raised or rude voice on my part, or my friends), and he also smirked at us and said, We can't make exceptions for those who eat differently like vegetarians. We asked for the mgr, and when he had to be called, the 2 cashiers were looking over at us and laughing. I really didn't want to, I was embarrassed already, but I agreed to try. , myself, as we didn't know exactly what the cashier presented to him. We used their restroom, and my friends encouraged me to ask for the mgr. She asked a mgr, and came back and said no, that was the price. The girl was annoyed, and said she couldn't, so I asked her to find out. I thought it was a little steep for me, as I don't eat any meat, chicken, or fish, so I asked if they could charge me (and only me, not the others in my group), a reduced rate, or give me a senior discount, anything, that could help with the price, since I wasn't eating much of their food. I asked why it was so much higher than the last time, and the girl at the register explained that the buffet changes daily, and that it was seafood night, and that was the price. Well, when we arrived the price that we thought was 13-15 per person was suddenly 21 with the tax. I'm a vegetarian, and only eat their salads, and side dishes (potatoes, vegetables, etc)., but I know that my friends like the buffet, and I don't mind paying my way if it is a fair price. The last 2 times I was there, it was a fair price of about 13 per person. We were unaware that they have a different theme each night, and the prices vary. Well, I was on my latest "girls trip", and we planned all of our stops and meals, and Shady Maple was our Tues. They have a great gift shop downstairs from the dining room. The food was pretty good for a buffet type of place, and we found it to be relatively clean. In all the years we have been visiting, we finally tried Shady Maple last year. I've often said I would love to move to the area. We love it there, and all I do is rave about the area and the friendlieness of the people there. My family and friends have been traveling to the Lancaster area for over 25 years.

Traktor kontrol s4 remix decks9/11/2023 Overall, Native Instruments got the Traktor controller exactly right this time. From here, the DJ can access all of the standard features. While not a direct part of the Kontrol S2, the device integrates well with Traktor Pro 2, which gives the option of Remix Decks™. With these features, the DJ has control of two channels and can mix in samples. The smaller design means fewer controls are present: in this case, there are 40 buttons and 27 knobs, along with your standard browsing section, jog wheel, and a mixer with a crossfader and channel line faders. So, if you own a turntable or CDJ, consider the Kontrol S2 your quality go-to device for on-the-road mobile DJing. Native Instruments particularly pushes this aspect, which is pretty crucial, as, unlike the Kontrol S4, there are no MIDI inputs or outputs, but it does support multiple controllers. Two, its quality is accessible enough for newer DJs to experiment with it but also expansive enough that professionals won’t get bored.Īs the major difference, the Kontrol S2 MK2 is a 2+1 channel device, offering all components a DJ needs for an iPad or iPhone. For one, the Kontrol S2 offers a more compact design. While Native Instruments engineers the Kontrol S2 to the same standards as the Kontrol S4, there are a few notable differences, so don’t think both are simply interchangeable. In the case of the Kontrol S4, the user has access to pre-made sets from the top artists, allowing the opportunity for the DJ to add his own touch. Remix Decks™ offers looping and cueing functions, 30 possible effects, and a built-in mix recorded for live remixing or rearrangement of tracks with up to 64 loops or one-shot samples per deck. Traktor’s Remix Decks™ feature is also activated directly from the software. This versatile system connects to your turntables, CD players, instruments, and other MIDI devices. What’s particularly helpful, especially for the DJ preferential to older gear, is the MIDI input and output that allows the Kontrol S4 to sync with other devices. The colored RGB buttons are both a physical and functional improvement for triggering cue points, loops, samples, and the Flux Mode buttons, while a loop recorder acts as a fifth deck, letting the DJ include an additional layer into the mix. Physically, it features 66 buttons and 40 knobs, two knobs and two buttons per deck for the loop section, and a jog wheel.Ĭonsidered the more professional out of the two (this doesn’t mean, however, the S2 is solely for amateurs, as you’ll see below), the Kontrol S4 feels upgraded compared to previous Traktor devices. Instead, it’s along the lines of, which one suits your needs better?Īs an all-in-one 4+1 channel DJ system, the Kontrol S4 MK2 essentially gives intuitive performance by placing all crucial features right at the user’s fingertips and allowing for plug-and-play functionality with Traktor DJ for iPad and iPhone (a firmware update will be required). The question, then, isn’t so much whether one device is better than the other. On a very general level, both offer professional quality, from seamless integration with Traktor Pro DJ software and the Traktor DJ iPad app, all while allowing for portability. Noice.When you’re seeking out a quality DJing controller, you can’t get any better than the Traktor Kontrol MK2 S4 and Kontrol MK2 S2. The added bonus is that the Audio 10 includes a license for Traktor Scratch Pro - so you get the Traktor version with a DVS engine. In addition to i/o (inputs and outputs), you'll need a controller to trigger the remix decks. If you use the Z2, then you won't need the interface as it's basically built in. I guess that I need to point out the obvious - you'll need a four channel mixer to handle the four outputted channels. NI sells an audio interface, the Audio 10, that can handle that: As you plan on using 2 decks and a remix deck, you'll need at least three outputs. If you want to use external mixing mode, you'll need a stereo output for EACH sound source. If you get a controller that works with Traktor, the internal mixing mode makes sense because everything happens within Traktor. * External mixing mode - where each sound source needs a stereo output for another mixer to handle mixing. * Internal mixing mode - where Traktor handles the mixing into two outputs: main and monitor/cue. Traktor (like most other DJ apps) have two modes for mixing:

Scavengers definition biology9/11/2023 Many vulture deaths stemming from toxins are preventable, and sometimes these deaths result from purposeful poisoning. What is poisoning vultures? Vultures are present on five continents, and their well-being is threatened by toxins on at least three. Sadly, some toxins are still deadly to these scavengers, and such substances are responsible for the majority of vulture deaths over the last 40 years-a trend that has landed most vulture species on the endangered list. Vultures, which exclusively eat dead animal carcasses, are particularly effective at removing pathogens and toxins in the environment because they rapidly consume carrion before it decays, and their stomachs contain an incredibly potent acid that destroys many of the harmful substances found in dead animals. Scavengers eliminate these harmful substances from the environment, mitigating the spread of disease that may otherwise impact local food webs and potentially harm human health and the economy. For example, if left to thrive in a carcass, bacteria and other pathogens may spread within the local environment and infect other animals, including livestock and humans. By consuming dead animals, called carrion, scavengers remove dead carcasses from the environment-a valuable service that goes well beyond environmental aesthetics. However, the research community has become increasingly aware of the critical role scavenging plays in the stability of ecosystems and food webs. When thinking about the beauty and balance of nature, scavengers may not be the first thing that comes to mind.

Trader joes black forest bacon9/11/2023 Using between 1-2 teaspoons a batch, this is gonna last me quite a while. I bought a jar of Prague Powder #1 on Amazon for about $17. As I’m not a food scientist, the articles I read convinced me that fooling around at home was a bad idea. What I discovered was that both methods contain nitrates, as salt and celery (which are often substituted for curing salt) both include nitrates. There are a few good articles out there if you’re interested, a quick Google search will find them. When I first started making bacon, I read a lot about curing versus not curing. The Trader Joe’s bacon is uncured, but I always cure mine. Pulling the skin back helps you get a good clean trim with your filet knife.Īfter you’ve skinned your pork belly, rinse it under cold water and pat it really dry with a clean kitchen towel. Don’t worry if you miss a bit here or there you can always go back and trim it. I start in a corner, working my knife along the edge until I can grab the skin more easily. I’ve found that after destroying a few pork bellies during the skinning process, it’s actually easier if you chill the meat in the freezer (or don’t let it fully defrost if it’s already frozen when you buy it). There seems to be a bit of disagreement online about whether or you should skin the pork belly before or after smoking, with the general consensus being it’s easier after. Removing the skin is kind of a pain, but if you have a sharp filet knife it’s not so bad. I want the pre-curing weight, minus the trimmed skin, to be close to five pounds. I try to get a 5-6 pound piece, and usually go for the heavier cut if it still has the skin intact. Call your local markets, both butcher shops and Asian markets, to see whether they have pork belly in stock and who has the best price. I get my pork belly at one of two places in Tulsa: Perry’s Market, a great place to get good meat cheap, or one of our local Asian markets, Nam Hai. 5 pounds of pork belly fresh from the market After reading a bit more about what gives Black Forest ham its yummy flavor, I decided to see if I could come up with something using more traditional ingredients. The post I found is a great long one about the whole process for making Black Forest bacon. While there are tons of recipes for all sorts of bacon, I only found one for Black Forest bacon…the other hits were from folks posting on forums looking for recipes. We gave it a try the following morning and were amazed at the taste! As I’ve been making bacon from scratch for a couple of years, I figured I’d do a bit of research and see if I could find any recipes. I’d never been much for their meat products, but as we went over and perused the displays, I spotted the uncured Black Forest bacon, and decided to grab it. I grabbed a couple products I liked and we were enjoying wandering around the store. Wandering around the new place in Brookside I saw most of the things I’d come to expect at a Trader Joe’s. My girlfriend Kelly and I went a couple of weeks after they opened to see what they had, and it was an entirely new experience for her. I wasn’t one of the people that got hugely excited by their coming, but I was happy I could occasional get the random things I missed. While I’ve never been a weekly Trader Joe’s shopper, it had a few things I liked that you couldn’t get anywhere else.Īfter two moves over the last 5 years to places that didn’t have a Trader Joe’s, I learned that Tulsa, my new home, was finally getting one. The one thing other than public transportation it was lacking was a Trader Joe’s. Other than the weather and the pretty significant cultural shift, it wasn’t that different than Boston. My move to Miami was an adjustment in many ways, but not in others. Since moving from Boston in 2011, I’ve often mentioned to friends how spoiled I was living there for 20 years: public transportation, loads of good restaurants and bars, more museums than you can count, great music venues…the list goes on and on. |
