The Transparent Frog

This awesome see-through frog reminds us of an educational statue you’d see in your biology class… a statue that would likely have several missing pieces and gum stuck inside. This unusual frog is known as Hyalinobatrachium pellucidum. But since that is unpronounceable to everyone except Wookies most people simply call them glass or crystal frogs for obvious reasons.

A die grinder, also known as a rotary tool, is a handheld power tool used for grinding, sanding, honing, polishing, or machining material (typically metal, but also plastic or wood). They are usually pneumatically driven, although electric and flexible shaft drive also exist. Their name comes from one of their earliest and archetypal applications, tool and die work, where they were used to create the precise contours of dies or molds. Especially before the advent of widespread CNC usage, they were heavily relied upon for contouring via manual skill comparable to a sculptor's. CNC now provides much of the contouring for die and mold interior surfaces, but die grinders are still very useful for hundreds of cutting needs, from sculpture-like contouring in the absence of CNC, to cut-off of bar stock, to any of the cutting and grinding needs of fabrication, such as in the work of welders, boilermakers, millwrights, ironworkers (steel erectors), sheet metal workers (such as auto body workers and HVAC technicians), to woodworking (especially cabinet making), hacking, and other hobby or business pursuits. Die grinders are often used for engraving, cylinder head porting, and general shaping of a part.^[1]

Psychiatrist letter to the young, on FB :: On Fifty shades of grey

Shuengit Chow  

There has been quite a few movies out about bdsm/ various "refined forms of sex play" whether in private home, or clubs, or formal semi-public scenarios, and, also in virtual worlds - very well made, high quality graphics - many many types of play acting... apparently its a game favored by intellectuals - the movie I havent seen it - but because it is a movie, its main purpose is to make commercial success, its not there to "teach" you anything or "cure" you etc. From all the talk, I doubt its anything more than populariing the "thrill" of unknown for the general public. As for bdsm etc, there are famous court cases and report/ficitonal/docu accounts of real life stories a few years ago - concerning a banker and his lover - that is probably as much reality as you will get. And such stories are usually sordid at the expense of the weaker person in the story. Young people /20+ students often talk about bdsm as "playing sm". Its got a hidden glamour of a sort. Another movie which was banned for many years in UK, for cruelty, for a long time is "La Maitresse" with Depardieu and Bulle Ogier. However, I do think, if nobody even heard of it, the attraction is probably is stronger still. There are also sub culture - like bondage practices - in the documentary, by a documentary film maker. " practices; by Hito Steyerl, Detail from "Lovely Andrea", 2007. The world of profit making through sex, images, practices. One of the photographer said, the more the police restricts, bans these publications, the better the sales. Once its not banned, the business goes down hill.
