Kevin Winter/Getty Images for CoachellaShe had to cancel her planned 2017 Coachella headlining set due to her pregnancy, but Beyoncé absolutely made up for it Saturday night by also delivering a reunion set with Destiny’s Child.
Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined Bey for a note-perfect five-and-a-half-minute set that included their DC hits “Say My Name,” “Soldier” and “Lose My Breath.” “Do y’all remember this song?” Beyoncé asked before launching into “Say My Name.”
“My sisters,” Beyoncé declared at the end of the set, telling the crowd, “Please give it up for Kelly and Michelle. I love y’all,” as the trio exchanged embraces.
The Coachella set was the highest-profile Destiny’s Child reunion since they performed together during Beyoncé’s halftime show at Super Bowl 47 in 2013. They also staged a brief surprise reunion to perform at the 2015 Stellar Gospel Awards.
Bey’s performance, the first since giving birth to twins Rumi and Sir last June, was so epic that the hashtag #Beychella was trending even before the Destiny’s Child reunion. Prior to it, Beyoncé’s husband JAY-Z joined her on stage for a performance of “Déjà Vu,” a preview of their upcoming On the Run II tour, the U.S. leg of which kicks off June 25 in Cleveland.
And just so no member of the family was left out, Solange joined her sister on stage after the DC set to dance to “Get Me Bodied.”

Cabinet sanctions Rs 26,058 crore PLI scheme for auto-drone sectors
On Wednesday, the Union Cabinet noded for Rs. 26,058 crore production linked incentive (PLI) scheme for auto, auto-components and drone industries to boost India’s manufacturing capabilities, Union Minister Anurag Thakur said on Wednesday.
The PLI scheme will stimulate the emergence of advanced automotive technologies' global supply chain in India.
The minister told reporters after the Cabinet meeting that incentives worth Rs. 26,058 crore will be given to industry over five years.
It is evaluated that over a period of five years, the PLI scheme for the automobile and auto components industry will lead to fresh investment of over Rs. 42,500 crore, incremental production of over Rs 2.3 lakh crore and will provide additional employment opportunities of over 7.5 lakh jobs, Mr. Thakur said.
The PLI scheme for automobile and drone industries is part of the overall declaration of PLI schemes for 13 sectors made previously during the Union Budget 2021-22, with an outlay of Rs. 1.97 lakh crore.
The scheme for the auto sector foresees overcoming the cost disabilities to the industry for the manufacture of advanced automotive technology products in India.
The incentive structure will motivate industry to make fresh investments for the indigenous global supply chain of Advanced Automotive Technology products, Mr. Thakur said.
The scheme for the auto sector is open to present automotive companies as well as new investors who are currently not in automobile or auto component manufacturing business.
The scheme has two parts - Champion OEM Incentive Scheme and Component Champion Incentive Scheme.
The Champion OEM Incentive scheme is a ‘sales value linked’ scheme, which applies on Battery Electric Vehicles and Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles of all segments, the minister said.
The Component Champion Incentive scheme is a ‘sales value linked’ scheme, applying on Advanced Automotive Technology components of vehicles, Completely Knocked Down (CKD)/ Semi Knocked Down (SKD) kits, vehicle aggregates of 2-Wheelers, 3-Wheelers, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and tractors.
The scheme will over a period of three years, lead to investments worth Rs 5,000 crore, a rise in eligible sales of Rs 1500 crore and produce more employment of about 10,000 jobs.


Why Do You Need EPA Renovator Lead Certification?
In 1978, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) introduced a pivotal set of guidelines with the aim of safeguarding individuals from lead exposure within their households. Before this milestone, builders had the liberty to utilize lead-based paint, thereby subjecting residents to the dangers of lead poisoning through continuous exposure.
Demonstrating a proactive approach to safety for both workers and inhabitants, Minneosta has enacted legislation mandating that contractors must complete a lead certification program before being granted building permits or engaging in any site work. These regulations that govern lead renovation, repair, and painting (RRP) have been instrumental in creating secure environments for all citizens and are applicable across a variety of work sites.
For individuals contemplating renovation, repair, or painting projects, acquiring a lead certification is an essential prerequisite. ZOTA Professional Training is wholeheartedly committed to providing cutting-edge, current, and pertinent education for professionals serving as EPA Lead Renovators.
Ready to Get Your Minnesota Lead Paint Certification?
Are you ready to start working as a Lead Renovator in Lake Elmo, Minnesota? Find an initial course near you.
Already have your certification? Take the refresher course.
Lake Elmo, Minnesota RRP Rule Enforcement
In April 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officially passed its RRP regulations into law. While several states promptly embraced these rules and assumed enforcement responsibilities, Minnesota has chosen to maintain the EPA’s oversight of contractor compliance in the Lake Elmo region.
To ensure compliance and obtain building permits for projects, each company operating in this area must hold two critical certifications. Firstly, individuals involved in the work must undergo the certification process, while the company itself must secure a firm certification. Given the heightened awareness surrounding the risks associated with lead-based paint, potential clients often inquire about contractors’ lead certification status during the bidding process. This scrutiny means that contractors lacking up-to-date certification may find themselves at a disadvantage when competing for projects.
Enforcers in Lake Elmo, Minnesota
The EPA holds the responsibility for enforcing RRP regulations in Minnesota. To remain informed, it is advisable to regularly visit the EPA website for the latest updates and frequently asked questions (FAQs). It’s important to note that failure to comply with lead certification rules could lead to fines of up to $37,500 and even the potential closure of your business.
No Proof of Lead Certification Means No Building Permit
In order to obtain a building permit for any project, companies must provide evidence of their current lead certification. Additionally, renovation teams are mandated to keep their lead certification easily accessible on-site, as it may be needed for potential inspections or inquiries.
Only Certified Lead Renovators Can Perform Paint Chip Sampling
Buildings constructed before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, and only contractors certified by the EPA have the authority to conduct lead paint sample testing. Furthermore, teams are required to possess EPA certification to safely manage and remove any hazardous materials.
Complying with Lake Elmo, Minnesota’s EPA Lead Certification Requirements
Within Lake Elmo, Minnesota, both businesses and individual members of renovation crews must acquire lead certification as a prerequisite for obtaining building permits for projects with potential lead-based paint. It’s essential to recognize that the certification process exhibits variations between individual applicants and business entities.
Steps to Lead Certification in Lake Elmo, Minnesota
There are a few steps that you must take, whether an individual or a company, in order to get your lead certification.
- Individuals seeking lead certification in Lake Elmo, Minnesota, are required to complete an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved course. This comprehensive course typically covers eight hours, offering a blend of informative content and hands-on skill development. While course costs may vary depending on the location, the average cost is approximately $250. Upon successful course completion, individuals can anticipate receiving their lead certification, which includes both a physical and digital copy, along with a unique identification number for efficient paperless tracking.
- Maintaining a copy of your lead certificate is of utmost importance while actively engaged on job sites. This documentation serves as critical evidence of your current certification, whether it’s requested during on-site work or as part of the job bidding process.
- To keep your lead certification up to date, it’s advisable to enroll in refresher courses. In-person training, which includes hands-on learning, retains its validity for a period of five years. Alternatively, you have the option of taking an online lead certification refresher course, although it doesn’t include the hands-on component and remains valid for three years.
- Go to the Environmental Protection Agency website to complete the Firm Application. Give the EPA up to 90 days to review the application.
- You will receive the firm lead certification from the Environmental Protection Agency.
- Keep the lead certification available on any work site to prove your team is current.

Helpful Links for Lake Elmo, Minnesota Regulation Companies
Contractors specializing in the renovation of older homes and buildings can tap into various sources of valuable information and guidance. Staying current with rule changes and revisions is crucial to ensure complete compliance with lead-related regulations. Moreover, developing a deeper understanding of the ramifications of lead poisoning is vital for the safety of both your team and the building occupants. Keeping abreast of the latest safety trends and strategies is essential to enhance protection. Furthermore, it’s always important to thoroughly review and adhere to local regulations before commencing any renovation work, as they may contain specific nuances that demand your attention.

I’ve been with Health Quest since September 2010, first as an intern and now as a practicing doctor. The focus of my practice is children with disabilities, including autism, learning disabilities, ADD/HD, and mental health issues.
Before becoming a chiropractor, I was the Deputy Director of Outreach Services for the Judevine Center for Autism (now called Easter Seals Midwest). I was blessed to work with families with autism across 92 counties of Missouri for 14 years. The experience I gained at Judevine has been priceless to me, both personally and professionally.
I am a Defeat Autism Now Doctor. This means I use a biomedical approach to treating autism, ADD/HD, learning disabilities, ADD/HD and other diagnoses. I have completed the MAPS Doctor (Medical Association of Pediatric Special Needs) certification, which will allow me to bring even more expertise to families who are concerned about their childrens’ development.
After meeting with a family and taking a detailed history and exam, there are many assessment and treatment options for children and adults here at Health Quest:
- I have a variety of tests available that help me understand a patient’s nutrition status (vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, urinary organic acids, etc.). These tests are helpful for patients who have difficulty concentrating, who have behavior problems, digestive issues, sleep difficulties, or formal diagnoses such as autism. I have found that the root of many behavioral issues is usually nutritional! Some of these tests use blood, urine, saliva and feces. I always try to find the test that is well-tolerated by the child. If they are especially fearful of blood draws, I do my best to find a test that doesn’t require needles.
- Alcat Food Sensitivity testing is also available. This is particularly useful for children who have trouble focusing at school, who complain frequently of bellyaches, headaches or other chronic issues. This is also great for adults who have IBS, migraine headaches, joint pain or other chronic complaint.
- We also offer genetic testing through Courtagen Labs. This test is very helpful for kids with developmental disabilities, seizures, autism, or autoimmune conditions. The lab provides specific diet, supplement and other recommendations when a positive result is found.
- We offer other genomic testing, as well; specifically for Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). Knowing about genetic SNPs help guide treatment, supplement and diet recommendations. I recommend testing for SNPs for all kids with autism, or chronic issues like ADD/HD, behavior problems and digestive concerns.
- The more standard tests like thyroid, blood counts, metabolic panels, etc., are also available.
- The costs for these tests is dependent on a family’s insurance. We can work with families to determine their cost prior to the test.
Once the testing is completed, I work with the family to develop a comprehensive treatment plan to address their child’s individual needs. For families who live far away, visits can be conducted remotely via phone, email and Skype.
I treat many babies and toddlers here at Health Quest, also! We see a lot of progress with babies who have colic, reflux, constipation, irritability and difficulty sleeping. I’d love to have a chance to talk to you about any concerns you’re having with your child.
I live here in Jefferson City with my husband, Shannon and my kids, Libby and Roan. We have an English Bulldog named Lola and three cats, Humphrey, CattyCakes and Mrs. Howard. I’m active in the kids’ schools and keep busy running the kids to church, guitar and piano lessons. When I have time for fun, I love to read, sew, cross stitch, paint and garden. I’m a graduate of Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City.

Autonomous driving is gaining speed. Self-driving cars may redefine the automotive industry and could be closer than we think. So, Land Rover is developing their vision of off-road autonomous driving that could allow any terrain to be tackled, not just tarmac.
Impressive Bond-like technology sees sensors detect surface conditions like grass, sand, gravel and even falling snow from five meters away and adjust its path accordingly, slowing down if it detects bumpy terrain, potholes or standing water. But how?
The system uses a combination of cameras, ultrasonic, radar and lidar to give a 360-degree view of the world around it. Low hanging branch ahead? No problem. The Overhead Clearance Assist will tell you if there’s room to slip under or not.
The idea is that the incisive sensors see better than the driver and make a judgement using all the data collected giving the car enough intelligence to make a 3D path and plan the best route.
Tony Harper, Head of Research at JLR, says: ‘Our all-terrain autonomy research isn’t just about the car driving itself on a motorway or in extreme off-road situations. It’s about helping both the driven and autonomous car make their way safely through any terrain or driving situation.
‘We don’t want to limit future highly automated and fully autonomous technologies to tarmac. When the driver turns off the road, we want this support and assistance to continue. In the future, if you enjoy the benefits of autonomous lane keeping on a motorway at the start of your journey, we want to ensure you can use this all the way to your destination, even if this is via a rough track or gravel road.
He add: ‘So whether it’s a road under construction with cones and a contraflow, a snow-covered road in the mountains or a muddy forest track, this advanced capability would be available to both the driver and the autonomous car, with the driver able to let the car take control if they were unsure how best to tackle an obstacle or hazard ahead.’
Part of the JLR project is also to connect two vehicles using their Off-Road Connected Convoy through a wireless system where the two vehicles can talk to each other by sharing information like wheel slip, changes to articulation and suspension height then adapt appropriately.
Tony Harper explains: ‘This V2V communications system can seamlessly link a convoy of vehicles in any off-road environment. If a vehicle has stopped, other vehicles in the convoy will be alerted – if the wheels drop into a hole, or perhaps slip on a difficult boulder, this information is transmitted to all of the other vehicles.
‘In the future, a convoy of autonomous vehicles would use this information to automatically adjust their settings or even change their route to help them tackle the obstacle. Or for the ultimate safari experience, cars following in convoy would be told by the lead car where to slow down and stop for their passengers to take the best photographs.’
Impressive stuff! Watch below as the team at JLR demonstrate this autonomous capability.

Do not use ANYTHING that will get any kind of dirt onto the truck, and then move it around. If you use the wand self-wash car wash, do NOT use the foaming brush on your paint. Do NOT rub your paint dry. And if you do dry it by hand, use 100% cotton or microfibre cloths.
Take a cloth, dab the bottom of your shoes, and then rub it on the back of your hand. That is what you are doing to your paint every time to touch it with anything with dirt granuals on it.

Life is a series of crossroads but no matter the direction you take, you end up exactly where you’re supposed to be.
Your life is a series of days strung together by choices that have been impacted and determined by previous choices. Every day there are new choices to make. Some are too small to give thought (So I want a tall or a trenta iced coffee) and some are so monumental that they appear almost impossible to wrap your mind around. As someone who used to obsess over every choice I encountered I find it interesting that I can now make decisions without thought. Every once in a while though… there’s that one choice that smacks me upside the back of the head and knocks me silly.
I’m a person of faith, not in the religious sense. I have faith in my life, faith in the people I love, and faith that, in general, everything is going to be A-OK. Everything works out the way it is supposed to in the end. That doesn’t stop me from wondering how in the hell things could possibly work out when I’ve got an impossible decision to make or I’m not sure which direction I should go with something. Faith doesn’t mean impervious.
I’ve embarked on numerous personal journeys the last four years of my life, some were voluntary, others were not, and all of them have led me to where I am right now. I’m facing another multitude of decisions that need to be made. Each of them requires thought and some of them have deadlines as soon as the next few weeks of my life. I’m feeling a little unsure and fragile at the moment, but it’s tempered by my cheerful outlook on life and the fact that I stand behind my decisions, no matter the outcome in the end.
You can’t cheat yourself out of the experience. You should never try to subvert your heart and you should always follow your instincts. I’m taking one step at a time on my own personal path of these crossroads with the knowledge that no matter how it turns I was brave enough to take chances, create my own destiny, and enjoy the ride.
The point of this lesson is that, as a person, I recognize my own insecurities enough to differentiate them from my instincts, and I try – every day – not to let them rule my life. I encourage you to ask yourself why you choose to react to life the way that you do. Is it instinct or insecurity?
Enjoy your crossroads, no matter the direction you choose to go and have faith that you’ll navigate your way to where you are meant to be.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Emails show that state and local officials were surprised by ice problems on cables on the Ravenel bridge linking Charleston and Mount Pleasant this year.
Emails obtained by the Post and Courier of Charleston (http://bit.ly/1dGjzC9) show officials were surprised by the heavy ice on the cables supporting the bridge that forced the shutdown of the bridge in late January.
The ice from the January storm melted and fell on cars, smashing windows after the bridge had reopened when the road was cleared.
The emails show state officials had no plan to deal with the ice other than wait for it to melt.
A similar bridge in in Vancouver, British Columbia, had the same problem last December and a system to brush and scrape away cable snow and ice was installed.

What's better than cuddling up all warm and cozy next to the fire on a cold February night? Well, if your fireplace is an eyesore, then your moment of relaxation can be a real buzz kill. Check out the facelift I gave this tired old fireplace in my own home. The facia got some custom staggered stone, a beautifully refinish mantle, and a new tile base. It went from gaudy and gold to modern and mature.
Last fall, we re-tiled our entryway with matching tile from our kitchen. I worked the same tile into the base of the fireplace. Over the holidays, we replaced the carpet in our home with new solid wood floors. Everything turned out so well, that we couldn't just leave our sad, gold-framed fireplace as the eye-sore of the room. It really is the focal point on this floor of our home, so it needed a facelift.
I started off by wiring for surround sound, reinforced the wall so that we could mount a flat screen TV and hid all the wires. I found a great stacked stone that tied in all the colors of our decor. It's got cool grays mixed with warm tans - really nice looking. I installed the tile floor to ceiling after removing the gold framing. Doing this helped to make it seem taller in the standard height room. The best feature of the whole project was a piece of solid, reclaimed wood I had milled. I sealed it and gave it a natural finish. It turned out amazing as the mantle and really brings the warm wood colors in from the flooring. Overall, it looks like a custom built fireplace and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

Pensando is Transforming Switching Architecture. That’s a Good Thing.
Pensando’s distributed services switching architecture is changing the game for the better. Learn more about Pensando and all the benefits it brings.
Cybersecurity should be a top priority for every organization, from software providers to hospitals to schools. Without robust cybersecurity in place, bad actors can easily steal sensitive data, install ransomware or spyware, and generally wreak havoc. Not only can this cost you money, but it can also have a major reputational cost — one you may never recover from if current and potential future customers feel you can’t be trusted with their personal data.
Since cybercriminals are constantly improving their strategies, you need the best cybersecurity solutions to keep them out. Enter Pensando and the first distributed services switch, a groundbreaking development with plenty to offer those looking for better cybersecurity, improved network performance, simplified operations, and more.
All About Pensando
The brainchild of ex-Cisco CEO John Chambers, backed by HPE Aruba, and recently bought by high performance and adaptive computing leader AMD, Pensando is the next evolution of switching architecture. Pensando is poised to disrupt the cloud market by allowing users to access a customized cloud system and innovate much faster. That’s because the Pensando platform is built on the same technology as hyperscalers and can both compute at the edge and help organizations develop new architectures. Pensando is not only an IoT-, AI-, and 5G-capable platform, but it’s also programmable thanks to its P4 Data Processing Unit (DPU).
And that’s not all. The Pensando platform has also made the industry’s first distributed services switch, Aruba CX 10000, possible. The Aruba CX 10000 Series Switch has AMD Pensando DPU technology embedded in the data center Top Of Rack (TOR) and can serve as a building block of distributed services architecture in public, private, and hybrid environments.
This switch goes beyond traditional switching solutions. Using Aruba CX 10000 Pensando means expensive hardware and traffic bottlenecks will become a thing of network architecture’s past. Instead, Aruba CX 10000 users can extend leaf-spine networking and distribute their networking and security services more efficiently. After all, Aruba CX 10000 Pensando allows enterprises to apply networking and security services at the network access layer edge, not at a centralized policy enforcement point.
By distributing these services at the place where applications are running and workloads are processed rather than at a central point, the distributed services switch eliminates the need to send traffic back and forth across the network, a process that is both slow and expensive. With the Aruba CX 10000 switch, users don’t have to choose between high performance, a strong security posture, or simplified IT operations. They can have all three and can even get granular visibility and scalability as well. Using the Aruba CX 10000 switch means users can also expand Zero Trust network architecture deeper into their data center to better protect and service applications and workloads at the data center edge.
The Benefits of Distributed Services Architecture
Centralized security architecture has been a popular choice for countless organizations over the years. For a long time, it was the best option on the market, but the truth is that centralized, hardware-based security is no longer cutting it. Instead of offering cost-effective, top-tier performance, centralized security is inefficient, not to mention expensive. After all, centralized architecture and systems involve hair-pinning or tromboning traffic to the datacenter and back. Not only does this slow performance, but it also increases cost and greatly limits scale. Plus, centralized architecture and switches are difficult to manage, so consistently enforcing policies and gaining visibility is more difficult than it needs to be.
What’s more, centralized security architecture isn’t particularly secure since virtualized and containerized application traffic can stay local to either a physical rack, a host, or a virtual machine. As a result, some application traffic inevitably slips past your hardware firewall, intrusion prevention system (IPS), or other physical security devices altogether, creating significant security vulnerabilities and leaving organizations vulnerable to attacks.
Though traditional data center architectures are unsustainable for many organizations, distributed architectures provide the performance people need. With distributed architectures and distributed services switches like the Aruba CX 10000, enterprises can experience improved network bandwidth and performance since traffic won’t need to trombone across the network. This eliminates many chokepoints commonly found in centralized networking and can significantly reduce downtime.
Distributed architecture and distributed services switches also offer better security than traditional architectures and centralized security appliances. For example, the Aruba CX 10000 Series Switch is in its own class of switching solutions. It can quickly and easily inspect and protect east-west application traffic and distribute firewalling, encryption, and telemetry services.
What’s more, distributed architecture can simplify network complexity and operations as well as cut costs. Infrastructure service provisioning will be faster, and users can more easily deploy security agents across servers. Distributed architecture can also reduce appliance sprawl, making management easier. The Aruba CX 10000 features unified network and security policy management, allows users to extend Zero Trust deeper into the data center, and can be integrated with security and network performance tools, so you can get all the insights you need.
When it comes to organizations that could benefit from distributed services switches and distributed architecture, your mind may immediately jump to enterprises. However, the truth is that many more industries can use — and benefit from — distributed services switches. For example, schools with distributed services switches like Aruba CX 10000 will experience optimized network bandwidth and performance, meaning all their students can watch an assigned video simultaneously without encountering buffering issues. In retail, distributed services switches result in less appliance sprawl and can greatly simplify operations, saving everyone time and frustration. Distributed switching can also come in handy in healthcare, government, petrochem, and other industries.
Level Up With Turn-key Technologies, Inc.’s Help
Pensando is here, and it’s transforming the way we approach cybersecurity and networks in general. Instead of dealing with the expenses and overly complicated operations associated with traditional switches and centralized architectures, we can now use distributed switches and adopt new, decentralized architectures. The result is improved cybersecurity, optimized network bandwidth and performance, fewer chokepoints, less downtime, simplified operations, and less appliance sprawl.
Looking to upgrade your cybersecurity to protect your data and keep your systems up and running? Partner with Turn-key Technologies, Inc. (TTI). We have over 30 years of IT experience and employ industry-leading professionals who are ready to help your organization tackle all your technology and IT needs.

Nokia Lumia 610 expert review
I have been using the Nokia Lumia 610 over a weekend, and I've been surprised at how smart, snappy and fun it is to use. The single core 800 Mhz processor caused it to slow down a bit sometimes, but the intuitive design and sleek body make this a nice choice for many who want smartphone features without a hefty price tag.
The user-friendly Live Tile interface makes it easy to access your phone's apps and features, or to see updates without opening up lots of widgets. The customisable colours and themes mean that the Nokia Lumia 610 is nicely customisable too.
The Nokia Lumia 610 has a single core 800 Mhz processor, this caused it to stumble sometimes, and also puts certain apps out of reach at present. I couldn’t download Angry Birds, for example, as the RAM capacity was too low.
The look and feel of the Nokia Lumia 610 is one of its main advantages. The matte back panel gives the handset a smooth feel, and it means it won’t slip out of your hand as easily as other handsets might. It’s light on buttons, with volume, screen lock and camera keys on the right hand side, but no other physical buttons on the handset.
The dual-layered Operating System is simple to use; you can add the ‘live tiles’ you use most often to the Start Screen, and all the others are accessible via an arrow in the top right of the screen.
The Nokia Lumia 610 has an attractive 3.7 inch capacitive touchscreen, with 480 x 800 resolution. As a Geek Squad Agent, I have not seen any of these with smashed screens so far, which suggests to me the handset must be pretty robust. As mentioned above, the processor isn’t the largest ever, but there is talk of software updates and optimisation, which could address the application issues caused by the restricted RAM.
The battery life on the Lumia 610 pleasantly surprised me. The handset is equipped with a Li-Ion 1300 mAh battery, and over the weekend, while I was regularly checking Facebook, email and using the camera, the battery lasted for a day and a half before needing to recharge. A really good feature on the handset is the battery information panel, which estimates the time remaining before the phone needs recharging. Obviously, this depends on usage and will fluctuate, but it is always helpful to have a ballpark figure.
The camera on the Nokia Lumia 610 is 5MP, with autofocus and an LED flash. There is no front facing camera, which I found a slight disadvantage. The dedicated camera button on the side of the handset means you can shoot straight from the lockscreen, though this was a little sluggish. There are some fun and useful features included, for example geo-tagging and face detection.
In terms of storage, the handset comes with 8GB internal memory; unfortunately this cannot be expanded as there is no microSD card slot. Windows have sought out an intuitive solution for this, in the form of Microsoft SkyDrive, which is a free, cloud-based storage space, with 256GB available for your precious snaps, songs and other media. You can read more about this in our Microsoft SkyDrive review.
The Nokia Lumia 610 comes with a specially adapted version of the 7.5 Windows Operating System, called Tango. The handset is not upgradeable to the new Windows 8 OS, which might frustrate some users of the handset, but it shouldn’t be an issue if you’re just looking for a simple yet stylish device as an introduction to the smartphone market.
Applications for the Nokia Lumia 610,are to be found in the Nokia Marketplace, which comes pre-installed on the phone. In this area, the Nokia Lumia 610 suffers from similar issues to its older Lumia siblings: the 800 and 900. There are significantly fewer apps available for Windows Phone OS than for Android or iPhone at present. This did pose a serious problem for me, as I love using games such as Temple Run, which was not available, and the games that are available seemed much more expensive than their iOS or Android equivalents. This strikes me as a somewhat cyclical issue: with app developers looking for wider utilisation before creating apps for the Windows Phone 7.5 platform, and users waiting for more apps before taking the plunge with a Windows Phone device.
At first I was unsure how I would find the Nokia Lumia 610, after using larger smartphones previously. I was surprised however, and quite enjoyed the neat, compact feel of the handset. The screen was dimmer than I was used to, which posed a few problems in bright sunlight, but on the whole, this was a fun handset to play with. I would definitely recommend the Nokia Lumia 610 to anyone who is put off by the ungainly dimensions and unpredictable battery life of more advanced smartphones, and who doesn't mind sacrificing wider app availability or advanced features.


Though a diploma from the School of Hard Knocks won’t get you a cushy office job, a few years in the dope game will teach you as much about entrepreneurship as an MBA from the most prestigious university. Don’t take it from me, though, take it from Boldy James, who offers a critical commentary upon one of Biggie Smalls’ Ten Crack Commandments (“Number 10: a strong word called ‘Consignment’... If you ain’t got the clientele, say ‘Hell no!’”) on the title track off his forthcoming street album. After lacing beatsmith Black Noise‘s string-laced sample work with an engagingly-flowed account of his cookup technique, the Motown representative gets down to brass tacks, asking listeners to “Do the math” along with him as he teaches his fellow “concreatures” how to maximize the profitability of their hustle. If that all sounds a little heavy, don’t worry - nothing cuts the tension of a gritty reality-rap record like a chorus borrowed from I’m a Little Teapot (as performed by a sadly uncredited female hook singer). Digging it? You’ll find more of what you’re fiending for on James’ Consignment: Favor for A Favor (Redi-Rock Mixtape) tape, set for release on February 27.

Before you read this, go back and read this. OK? Great. I won’t make you do that again every time we talk free agent stuff, but do please try to remember it.
Anyway, C.J. Wilson gave an interview to Scoreboarddaily.com and said this when asked if he might return to the Rangers:
Yeah, there’s a great chance because I like it here and I’ve won here. I’ve proved that I can be a good pitcher here.
The Rangers could certainly end up being the most desirable suitor for Wilson’s services. Indeed, rumblings out of the Yankee Universe — long thought the most likely team to bid on Wilson — have grown decidedly negative lately, and weren’t helped at all by Wilson’s lackluster postseason. But ultimately — as is the case with every free agent, money is going to play the largest role.
All things being equal, sure, Wilson chooses to stay where he’s comfy. But when was the last time all things were equal in the upper end of the free agent market?
Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw entered Wednesday night’s start against the Marlins without having issued a walk in his previous three starts. In fact, his last walk came on April 3 when he issued a free pass to Paul Goldschmidt with the bases empty and two outs in the bottom of the first inning. All told, Kershaw was on a streak of 26 walk-less innings before he took the mound at home to take on the Marlins.
Kershaw started off Wednesday in character, striking out the side in the first inning. He issued a walk in a tough second inning, but escaped without allowing a run. Kershaw walked two more in the third and again danced out of danger. In the fourth, Kershaw walked Lewis Brinson to load the bases with no outs and — you guessed it — didn’t end up allowing a run. His errant control finally came back to bite him in the fifth when Kershaw issued back-to-back two-out walks, then served up a three-run home run to Miguel Rojas down the left field line. His night was done when he completed the inning. Five innings, three runs, five hits, six walks, seven strikeouts, 112 pitches.
The six walks Kershaw issued over five innings marked his first six-walk outing since April 7, 2010 when he issued six free passes to the Pirates in 4 2/3 innings. The only other time he walked as many was on August 3, 2009 against the Brewers in a four-plus inning outing. Kershaw hasn’t even walked five batters in an outing recently — the last time was September 23, 2012 against the Reds.

After an incredible 9-3 week in Florida at the THE Spring Games, including an eight-game win streak, the softball team returned north on Tuesday to face Mount Saint Mary College (MSMC) in a doubleheader. The Roadrunners continued their blazing-hot start to the season, sweeping MSMC and improving to 13-3 on the season.
The Roadrunners won game one in a six-inning run rule after leading 12-3. After a scoreless first two innings, Ramapo struck first with a RBI groundout from Katie Rygiel. Later in the inning, Alexis Corra extended the lead to two after her sacrifice fly scored Jaclyn Monaco. In the next inning, Avery Kontura hit her second home run of the season, a two-run shot that doubled Ramapo’s lead to 4-0.
With the score at 5-0 in the bottom of the inning, MSMC got one run back on a Sophia Reed sacrifice fly. However, Ramapo answered with two more runs in the top of the fifth, including Monaco stealing home. Monaco, who had 29 stolen bases last season, already has 15 this year.
The Roadrunners blew the game open in the sixth. After Avery Bartolomeo hit an RBI single, her third hit of the day, freshman Kori Gargiulo hit a bases-clearing double into the left-center field gap, pushing the lead to 12-1. MSMC scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth, but it was not enough to avoid the mercy rule.
Marissa DiPaolo took the mound for Ramapo in game one and was credited with the win. She went four innings, allowed just one run, four hits, struck out two and walked nobody. She lowered her ERA to 0.55 on the season. Mahogany Wheeler and Brooke Knight came on in relief, shutting the door on a dominant first game.
Game two started less desirable for Ramapo as MSMC took an early 1-0 lead in the first on a Samantha Bendig RBI double. The Roadrunners’ offense picked up their pitcher, Kassy Stefanski, tying the game the next inning on a Nicole Cerasi RBI single, plating Kontura. Kontura then gave Ramapo the lead in the next inning with an RBI single.
The Roadrunners tacked on two more runs via an error and a sacrifice fly, and MSMC answered with a run in the bottom of the fourth. In the bottom of the sixth, the Knights put the first two runners on, and Knight came in for relief of Stefanski. She proceeded to get the next three MSMC batters in order, all by groundouts. The game was called due to darkness and Ramapo officially won 4-3 in six innings.
Stefanski was credited with her fourth win of the season in game two. She went five innings, gave up two runs on nine hits, struck out four and walked two. For MSMC, Grace MacDonald took the loss. She went the full six innings, gave up four runs — two earned — on 10 hits, struck out two and walked one.
Through 16 games, the Roadrunners currently sit in fourth place in the New Jersey Athletic Conference. Their early season success can be attributed to an entire team effort as many Roadrunners are having career seasons.
Monaco currently leads Ramapo in batting average (.551), hits (27) and OPS (1.145). Kontura leads the team with 17 runs and 19 RBIs. Three Roadrunners (Kontura, Corra and Wheeler) are tied for the team lead with two homers each. The team has used speed to their advantage, stealing 38 bases on 44 attempts, good for an 86% success rate.
For pitching, Ramapo’s three main starters — DiPaolo, Stefanski and Wheeler — all have four wins on the season. DiPaolo leads the way with a 0.55 ERA while Stefanski has the most strikeouts on the team with 30.
Ramapo will head home for the first time this season for two games against Stevens Institute of Technology. The non-conference doubleheader will be on March 23 at 3 p.m.


As Opera NEO Artistic Director Peter Kozma welcomed Saturday’s (July 15) audience to his company’s season-opening Aria Marathon program, he offered his humorous take on the event. “Aria Marathon—or as some call it, death by aria!”
In rapid succession, 31 young singers enrolled in Opera NEO’s summer festival darted center stage at Palisades Presbyterian Church (where the spacious chancel conveniently doubles as a stage) to offer their best arias. Aided by a battalion of five seasoned accompanists, these singers spanned the opera repertory from the florid coloratura excesses of Handel and Mozart to the extravagant emotional outpourings of Puccini and Cilèa, not to mention the wit of Leonard Bernstein.
In addition to indulging the passion of opera aficionados, the Opera Marathon serves to introduce the singers who will be doing the heavy lifting in the three operas the company will stage next month. So we heard the hearty bass baritone Dale DeWood, who will sing the role of Don Alfonso in Così fan tutte, confidently toss off a drinking song from Carl Maria von Weber’s The Merry Wives of Windsor, and the impressive countertenor Cameron Shahbazi, who will take the title role in Francesco Cavalli’s Giasone, stylishly navigate the bracing fioritura in “Presti omai l’Egizia terra” from Handel’s Giulio Cesare.
Mezzo-soprano Stephanie Doche, who opened the evening with a searing, confident account of “Crude furie” from Handel’s Serse, will sing Dorabella in Così fa tutte, and the fine Korean soprano Naré Yang, who will sing Sidonie in Gluck’s Armide, lavished her highly expressive phrasing on “Comme autrefois dans la nuit” from Bizet’s The Pearl Fishers. Jon Jurgens garnered well-deserved bravos from the audience for his compelling “E’ la solilta storia” from Cilèa’s L”arlesiana. Jurgens will lend his rich, Italianate tenor to Ferrando in Così fan tutte. Joining Jurgens in Così, baritone Aaron Keeney will sing Guglielmo. His command of Wagner’s long, sweeping lines and depth of interpretation made the familiar “Ode to the Evening Star” from Tannhäuser memorable.
“Glitter and be Gay” from Candide was certainly the right choice for San Diego’s Pride weekend, and soprano Michelle Perrier pulled out all the dramatic and vocal stops to make this show-stopper as glorious and camp as Bernstein intended. Perrier will sing Medea in Cavalli’s Giasone. Joining her in that production as Eolo will be mezzo-soprano Sarabeth Belon, whose highly charged, dramatic account of an aria from Ruperto Chapi’s zarzuela Las hijes del Zebedeo impressed me greatly.
Bass-baritone Patrick Murray, who will take roles in both Giasone and Armide, made a fine vocal and dramatic impression with his “Sibilar gli angui d’Aletto” from Handel’s Rinaldo, as did resonant baritone Maxwell Seiffert in his “Ô vin dissipe la tristesse” from Hamlet by Ambroise Thomas. His highly idiomatic command of French declamation is rare among American singers!
Overall, the caliber of the 2017 crop of Opera NEO singers bodes well for the festival’s upcoming productions:
Mozart’s Così fan tutte plays August 3 & 5 in the Palisades Amphitheater
Cavalli’s Giasone plays August 4 & 6 in the Palisades Presbyterian Church sanctuary
Gluck’s Armide plays the following week, August 11 & 12 in the Palisades Amphitheater
The Aria Marathon was presented by Opera NEO on July 15, 2017, in the Palisades Presbyterian Church, 6301 Birchwood St., San Diego, CA

Chocolate BBS F1 racing wheels
The chocolate wheels are a development of 4Design and style, a Japanese organization that fuses regular Japanese crafts with automotive elements, as reported by Autoblog. Previously, 4Design developed a chair with piping factors identical to the kinds used for vehicle exhausts and headers. The aim of 4Structure is to exhibit unfamiliar aspects of the industrial manufacturing system in fun and attention-grabbing techniques.
For the chocolate wheel mold, 4Design didn’t mess all around. The enterprise went prime-of-the-line with large-general performance BBS F1 racing wheels. The chocolate wheels are a collaboration between 4Style and design, BBS Japan, and Fujita, a maker in Takaoka. The collaboration is fitting. Lots of of the massive bonshō temple bells in Japan ended up crafted in the location using a very similar mould process as the chocolate wheels. Also, BBS Japan helps make aluminum wheels in Takaoka.
The design procedure for the chocolate wheel molds took 4 months to finish. 4Desgn developed two molds. A person is for the BBS racing wheel, and the other is for a “sofa cushion” box with a BBS logo. The business also designs on offering arms-on sessions for people today to develop chocolate wheels at the Factory Art Museum in Takaoka.
How to make chocolate wheels
The molds for the chocolate wheels are intricate and really attractive. They feature shot-blasted items and machined aluminum. Measuring all around 4 inches large and three square inches, the mold items sign up for collectively a lot like a 3D puzzle.

The opening moment of the debut Iceblynk single grabbed me immediately; it teased me as if I was going to fall head over heels into the land of dense post-punk with wee little jangles. But, the song sort of evolves into something more spiritual, just on the cusp of dreaminess. When Andrea Lynn’s vocals hit, it sort of sets the song spinning differently; she’s got these sharp tones that seem to contrast with the vibe, but their ethereal nature ends up punctuating the bits and pieces that bring the song together. The song’s fade out really ups the ante too, so be sure to dive into the drama. The band will release their self-titled debut EP on October 21st!
I’m all about really steady guitar pop work right now, and it sounds like the Radio Field have my tastes pinned down perfectly. Their latest single thats the fuzz of an earlier demo version and really works in crisp ringing guitar notes; it helps the song create a natural melodiousness that encourages faint toe-tapping. You can hear where the band takes notes from acts like the Lucksmiths or the like, careful not to let the power of the rock outdo the pop hooks. The band will be releasing their Simple EP later this year via Less Records and Subjangle.
If you’re in need of heavy pop rock riffs and a blast of hooks, might I suggest diving into Well Wisher this morning? The band are my current go-to for sweet pop rock, replacing Weakened Friends momentarily. I love that there’s not a lot of extemporaneous bullshit here, just a straight-ahead rocker with Natalie Newbold’s voice doing all it can to be sure there’s just enough hooks to hold the listener’s attention from start to finish. Lyrically, it’s all about self-deprecation, just showing us how much fun we can have while feeling sorry for ourselves. The band’s album That Weight just dropped via Egghunt, so be sure to check it!
We covered a lot of territory last week, with a few songs not on streaming services (the Persian Leaps/Cindy), so here’s a wrap-up of last week to kick off your Monday morning blues. I was stoked to hear new Intelligence, but I had to start off the playlist with a new track from I Was a King, as its one of my favorites this year. Some cool stuff came our way from the UK, from the likes of European Sun, Chorusgirl and Pete Astor. Meritorio Records had a solid presence with the new Jim Nothing LP stream and a fresh single from Spice World. Plus, we touched up on some bonus Austin sounds from Twain and High Heavens. Stream it all below, friends.
It’s hard not to get overly excited when you hear the immediate infectiousness from Australia’s Spice World. That drum beat dropped in behind the guitars on “Dying to Go” and I just felt like I had been welcomed into a party with all my best friends; there’s this natural freedom to the track, rambunctious and fun, tethered to a hook all the while. Then they slip in and slow things all the way down on the flip, getting a little more of a look-in to the band’s ability to switch speeds mid-album. And speaking of album, the band are using this double single to announce There is No “I” in Spice World out on January 20th via Tenth Court and Meritorio Records.
We’re hoping that the long-running Typical Girls series from Emotional Response is on your radar; it’s a collection dedicated to all the incredible women in the independent music scene, with a little nod to the Slits. Today, we get bonus good news, as not only has the label announced Typical Girls Vol. 6, but they’ve done it by letting us share this incredible new gem from San Francisco’s Cindy, who we’ve raved about for several years. Honestly, I was looking for the perfect description, but songwriter Karina seems to have captured the sentiment perfectly, saying this songs feels “like there’s room built into the structure to move around in as a listener;” it’s a sentiment that resonates with the band’s powerful pop presence coinciding with the striking simplicity at hand, all of it creating this huge emotional weight that soaks you. Typical Girls Vol. 6 will be out on October 28th, with other heavy hitters like The Linda Lindas, Lande Hekt, Fake Fruit and more taking part. Grab it from Emotional Response today!
Every time I listen to the Intelligence, I just run this gamut of self-doubt. Am I cool enough to listen to this band? Will I even really get at what they’re doing? Somehow, I always end up gravitating towards a cliche Wayne’s World “we’re not worthy” moment…which again, seems to suffice with the newest single. It’s this disorienting piecemeal tune, bits of sticky cymbal work, primal electronic pulses, with Lars Finberg crafting his poetic lines so as to weave around the amps like a jumbled pile of chords. Then the song stutters, only to shriek back into place, plodding along with more texture, seemingly, only to remind us that we need to check our expectations of rock n’ roll at the door. With this jam comes great news; the band will release Lil’ Peril via Mt. St. Mtn. on September 30th.
This brand new Chorusgirl single is a must have for you today, and one that’s got plenty of little sonic twists and turns, so be sure to strap in here. It opens with this drawn out, cavernous sound; you think you’re in for some expansive bit of indie prog, but then the drums begin to bounce. The guitars skitter in, and Silvi’s vocals roll their own bounce right into the frame; this offers a playful contrast with some of the darker ideas of the lyrics, commenting on the willingness of artists to subject themselves to the ringer of the industry despite mental health struggles. Back and forth, the song tugs at you, and at itself, much like one would imagine the artist, struggling between the natural highs of writing a great tune like this one, only to have the industry turn away to the next cool thing. But not me! I’m here for it, and so are you! Colapso Calypso is out on October 14th via Reckless Yes.
Our favorite Swedish label Rama Lama Records just announced a brand new signing to the label, Mary Anne’s Polar Rig. The group’s star has been rising since their debut single in 2018, with their 2021 album getting tons of buzz overseas. This new track has the band brandishing their blend of arty indie rock breakdowns with edges torn by the fuzz of guitar noise. Still, they’re equally adamant about providing huge hooks, which come in the clever lyrical delivery and melodic nature they spin through their web of explosive slacker-core. Keep an eye out on the band as one to watch!
New Zealand’s Jim Nothing are no stranger to these pages the last few months, but seeing as they’re a little bit ahead of us in terms of daylight, we get to stream their debut LP a bit earlier than Friday! For those of you into the traditions of lo-fi and early 80s DIY aesthetics, you’re certainly going to feel the charms of this entire listen. Take “Seahorse Kingdom,” for example, using this thumping rhythm and aura of whimsy to carry the exuberance of the song immediately to the listener. Maybe you want to swing the other way and hit on one of the great singles like “Fall Back Down,” which reminds me a lot of their Oceanic neighbors Twerps (and other “dole” wave) acts. Brief songs and steady bounce just guarantee you’ll run right over to Meritorio Records/Melted Ice Cream and grab yourself a copy of In the Marigolds!

Flags of the British Army’s infamous Parachute Regiment have once again been erected by loyalists in County Derry in an attempt to inflame tensions ahead of a march for justice on the anniversary of the Paras’ Bloody Sunday massacre.
Thirteen civil rights demonstrators died after members of the Parachute Regiment opened fire in Derry’s nationalist Bogside on January 30, 1972. A 14th person died later.
The flying of the killer regiment’s flags has been branded provocative, disrespectful and hurtful to families of the victims. They appear every year in the village of Newbuildings in the run-up to the anniversary of the killings.
Kate Nash’s brother, William, was among those killed on January 30, 1972. Her father was among the 28 people shot who were shot but survived.
Ms Nash said that the flying of the Para flags is a hate crime which is always ignored by the authorities.
“This has become a regular feature for some people in Newbuildings, Drumahoe and in some parts of the Waterside, but I cannot understand why we are forced to put up with this year in and year out because to me this is a hate crime,” she said.
“While I know the vast majority of people in those communities don’t support these flags flying, the actions of the small number who do this are hurtful, and it is awful that some people seek to glorify the soldiers who carried out Bloody Sunday in such a public way.”
Sinn Fein councillor Christopher Jackson called on unionist politicians to get the flags removed.
“Given the brutal history of the Parachute Regiment in this city, the erection of these flags is provocative and disrespectful and clearly designed to hurt the families who had loved ones murdered and injured on Bloody Sunday,” he said.
“It is also an effort to raise tensions in the greater Waterside area at a time when many others are working night and day to ease community tension and build peace.
“I would call on unionist leaders in our city to ensure that these flags are taken down immediately,” he added.
BROAD SUPPORT FOR MARCH
Meanwhile, a large number of groups in Derry have confirmed that they will support the forthcoming Bloody Sunday March in Derry later this month. Five republican groups have now said they would now take part in the march on Sunday, January 27.
Several organisations pulled out of last year’s march over the apparent hijacking of the long-standing Bloody Sunday justice campaign to promote unrelated issues. Saoradh, The Irish Republican Socialist Party, Independent Republican Councillors, 1916 Societies, and 32 County Sovereignty Movement, have now said they will join those Bloody Sunday relatives, the wounded and others who continue to march along the route from the Creggan Shops to Free Derry Corner.
In a statement, Saoradh again noted that the original civil rights protest which came under fire had been an anti-internment rally.
“There are currently a number of Irish Republican Political activists interned by the British State, the same British State responsible for the war crimes committed on Bloody Sunday,” they said. “We now hope that the Bloody Sunday March will continue in its original form, giving a voice and an acknowledgement to Irish Republicans who find themselves interned and those who represent them.”
Setting out their reasoning in a letter, the other four groups stated: “As Republicans, we welcome the fact that the Bloody Sunday March for Justice seems to have returned its focus on putting the responsibility for injustice where it lies - squarely with the British establishment and its crown forces.
“The murders carried out in Ireland by the British were and are unjust and immoral. They were carried out on the orders of the occupying forces and a government which clearly has no regard for the families of these murdered Irish citizens, in Derry, Ballymurphy or anywhere in Ireland.
“On this basis, as Republicans we are prepared to show our support and oppose Imperialism on January 27, by taking part in the march and to call upon other like-minded Republicans and socialists to join us at the Bloody Sunday March.”

We have a fun one to share with you today! These two are so light hearted, genuine, and easy going that we knew they were going to have a great wedding, and the Dunsmuir House in Oakland was a memorable backdrop for it all.Loved this shot of Malarie’s. That’s a lot of trust!The excitement sinks in before the ceremony.They’re checking each others nerves.You know a toast is good when you get this range of emotion, laughter to tears. Thanks for trusting us to document your day! Cliff
Had a great time getting to know these two on a characteristically foggy day in the city. The laughs came both huge and frequent, and we can’t wait for their wedding!
We originally were going to shoot near the Golden Gate, but ran to a sunnier part of town when we saw the fog roll in. This shoot hardly felt like a compromise even though we had to change things up on the go. Have to love SF! If you don’t like the weather, just go around the corner.
These two had great chemistry, and the laughs came easy the whole shoot. Check it out!
We recently had an engagement shoot adventure with Melissa and Joshua, exploring some urban ruins. Always a favorite, made especially fun fueled by the enthusiasm they have for photography and each other.
First wedding of the year, off to a great start!
Julia and Kevin have gone down in history as our most photographed clients thus far. We began our time together when Kevin got in touch with us before they were engaged so that I could document their proposal. We worked out the location on an Embarcadero pier, and the approximate timing, and I pretended to be a tourist, taking pictures of the bridge, the Ferry Building, etc as I saw them approach me and walk past. I kept on eye on the action while doing my best “definitely not a creepy guy watching a couple on the pier” impression until he made his move. It was fun operating like a clandestine operation, and thankfully Julia said yes before being ambushed by both their families. We were off to quite the start! We also did 2 engagement sessions prior to the wedding, another first! They’re true photography enthusiasts, and it’s always a pleasure to work with clients who trust you and give you the time and freedom to push boundaries and technique to create something special.
This next image was quite a technical challenge. I noticed we had some extra time with the wedding party, so I envisioned something a little extra special. I’ve done a few of these types of images in the past, but this was the biggest. This is actually made up of several images/exposures to allow me to create a lighting scenario not possible with a single frame. Not something we get to do very often, but the result is pretty amazing. (If I do say so myself)

Yep. It's passed through bodily fluids.
A book called, "The Great AIDS Cover Up" cites examples of the virus having been caught from kissing. One of these was between an elderly couple who had not had sex in years. The husband had contracted the virus through a blood transfusion; his wife contracted it from kissing her husband ie by exchanging saliva. The case was reported in Lancet magazine. So, every precaution should be taken against catching this deadly virus and other deadly virus by avoiding all contact with contaminated body fluids.
Yes one should use precaution. A deep throat french kiss compared to just a simple kiss on the lips. If I remember the odds of contracting through a kiss is very low and unlikely. Like I said, no exchanged of body fluids and that means excessive amount of saliva. Also if the old man wasn't on an HIV medication the viral load would be up in the hundreds of thousands per cell as someone on the medication the virus is undetectable.
all these people saying yes don't know what they're talking about. You can kiss someone with HIV and 99.9 chance you want get the virus because the virus is killed when it comes in contact with saliva, so you can eat, drink, use the tooth brush even becaus the virus is also killed immediately once exposed to air. About the only way you're sure to to be infected by HIV is unprotected sex and exchanged of body fluids or usind a dirty needle such as sharing a needle shooting drugs. HIV is killed on air contact and by saliva contact. A person on HIV drugs and the Virus is undetectable, it's possible to have unprotected sex but don't exchange body fluids and still not get infected but that's risky behaviour.<br />
It's always best to treat everybody as HIV poz and always use precaution because there's other std's on the rampage such hepetitus c and others, so alwys treat all your encounters equally and use precaution. But yes, it's just fine to kiss someone with HIV, you're not going to contract the virus that way. I've taken a course HIV 101 and learned a lot. If you're talking about oral sex, that's risky and yes it's possible, just make sure there's no intake of or exchanges of body fluids, if you know what I mean? That's risky, I would suggest not but kissing is fine.
sure can use a dental dam if u are unsure of your partner and always use sexual propholatics
technically I'd think so...though probably unlikely
yes... If u have lil cut inside mouth ...or throat .. or swallow ....
any significant exchange of bodily fluids.
