HealthRe: More Women Becoming Virgins Again With Hymen Replacement Operations by EvilBrain1(m): 7:33pm On Aug 06, 2010
Aurora Jolie is a famous american p.orn star and a technical virgin. Apparently, she only does ana.l s.ex and has never been penetrated vaginally.

From Wikipedia: Jolie's popularity has emerged from her claims of having been a vagi.nal virgin, though she does have ana.l group se.x in her personal life and on screen. In one interview she had said in reference to her first act of vagi.nal se.x, "I want to wait until it's not a one-night stand,  I don't think I want to do it on camera. I just want to wait until I'm comfortable. Once I do that, then I'll do it on camera."
In a March 2009 interview with Ozone magazine, she has admitted that she has lost her vagi.nal virginity off camera. She claims that she will only have vagi.nal se.x on camera once she starts a new por.n website dedicated to herself.

Oh wait, just read the whole quote. It looks like she's not a virgin anymore. sad

I hope she got married first.

shotuns:
I heard some women above certain age tends to lose their virginity naturally without having sex, same goes to

those women who are involved in sports, could this be  true?
Very true.

Actually, plenty of women are born without a hymen. Or it could be so thin that there is little or no bleeding when it ruptures. Also the hymen can be easily ruptured during sports or during a fall astride (she's crossing a gutter, the plank slips and she lands on her crotch) or even when riding a bicycle. I short, its absence doesn't prove or disprove anything regarding a girl's virtue.

My internet connection is dog slow today or I would have found a link for you.

Elpieda:
I think everyone here is omitting something very important, The Hymen in a woman is a thin membrane on the outside or surrounding her womanly opening, now hymen reconstruction and womanly tightening are two different things entirely, If you replace the hymen without tightening the womanliness, on the so called wedding night, it will still be EASY for the man to go in, For a REAL virgin who did not reconstruct the hymen, her womanly orifice will still be TIGHT and it will be HARD to penetrate, Am I making sense, So a girl can do all the hymen reconstruction she wants, If the man is smart enough, he will know that if it was too easy for him to go in without any struggle, then she probably was up to something,
Not true. Contrary to popular belief, not all virgins are tight. Every woman is built differently and men come in different sizes so to expect a woman's P to be tight just because she's a virgin is seriously misguided.

In any case, there's a much simpler, non-surgical way to simulate virginity (just so we're clear, you do this at your own personal risk): It has to be done on the 3rd or 4th day of menstruation after the bleeding has lightened a bit. Just insert a large block of alum 1 or 2 hours before the big show to dry and tighten up the P. Just before, you excuse yourself to go to the bathroom and remove the alum and sanitary pad. Then you make the appropriate noises and faces when your guy is doing his thing (ooh, iiss paining mmeee!!!). The guy will feel a tight v and see some blood after.

Of course, an experienced, sharp guy won't fall for this but most will.

Battery-life on Ubuntu

My 2 year old Dell Latitude D630 lasts 3.5 to 4 hours on Windows 7 (wifi off, lowest screen brightness, low cpu load). But on Ubuntu Lucid, it barely manages 2 hours b4 going off. Given the current NEPA situation, I find this completely unacceptable and it's now the main reason why I still boot into windows.

Ubuntu doesn't seem to have any simple, built-in way to reduce eye-candy and clock speed in order to improve battery life like in Win Vista/7.

Are there any good power management tools that I can use to do this? I remember that there used to be something like that in Mandriva but I'm not sure if it was a separate program or built into KDE.

By your same logic, is it not awkward that both sets of mobs were offered female substitutes? and also that both females would still have been gang-despoiled? If it wasn't so much an offence, I can bet there were no shortage of males in both households.
They offered female substitutes because in their culture, women had very little value compared to men. Why would you risk your precious son being r@ped to death when you can offer your daughter instead? In fact, it wasn't unusual to offer an honoured guest one of your daughters to "warm his bed" while he was staying at your house.

Back then, hospitality was a serious business and women were considered expendable. If you don't believe me, try settling down and reading Deuteronomy whenever you're free. Some of the laws in it are so obnoxiously sexist you'll be shocked.

homosexuality, lesbianism is evil and from the pit of hell!!!!!
Also wrong. Homosexuality is extremely common in the animal kingdom. If it was from the devil, why are there so many gay animals? Or did they all line up to eat the forbidden fruit after Adam and Eve?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual_behavior_in_animals

The funny thing about Christianity (and other religions) is that they ascribe supernatural causes to everything they can't explain. I don't know how anyone can believe that homosexuals willingly choose to be the way they are. As if you can choose to stop staring at bosoms and buttocks whenever a fine girl walks by. The bible says homosexuality is a sin, but it also says you shouldn't lust after women and that has never stopped me or many of our pastors (except the secretly gay ones of course) before. I like women and I can't help myself. If I ever woke up in a world were being a straight man was seen as weird, I would probably sneak around just like this priest was doing. If people just accepted him as he was, he wouldn't have had to lie.

One day, probably soon, one scientist somewhere is going to discover one abnormal gene or missing neurotransmitter or something that explains why these people (and animals) are the way they are. When that happens all the hate-spewing religious fundamentalists are going to look very silly.

God had seen the sin of Soddom and Gomorrah and had sent those angels to go destroy it, that was why when they were parting from Abraham
he begged and kept asking if you find 20 good men will you spare the city,10,5 , and when the angels entered, they proved it more by coming to despoil(evil brain) them.
Actually, if you settle down and read the whole story, you'll realize that you're wrong. In Genesis 18, when Abraham met the three strangers as they were passing by, he immediately had his wife make them cakes of fine meal, and he killed a "fine and good calf" for them and gave them butter and milk. In other words he treated them very kindly. The same happened when they met Lot. But when the men of Sodom met them, they immediately formed a mob. And I doubt they would have stopped at r@pe. They would most likely have robbed them first and maybe even killed them.

Genesis 18, 20-21: And the Lord said, "Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know
You see, the bible never specified that homosexuality was the sin that led to their destruction. All it says is that there was an outcry against them. But the contrast between Abraham's and Lot's treatment of their guests and that of the men of Sodom (as well as the way the bible took its time to emphasize it compared to the fleeting mention of homosexuality) says a lot.

Unfortunately most preachers like talking but hardly ever settle down to read what they are preaching about properly. And people find it so hard to let go of their preconceived ideas that they end up missing the point of the story completely.

Actually, the reason God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah wasn't the homosexuality as is commonly believed. Homosexuality was pretty commonplace in the ancient world just as it is now and was not considered such a big deal.

Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of the awful way they treated their guests. Instead of offering them food and board, they tried to gang despoil them. Lot (and his family) was the only one showed the proper hospitality (even offering the men of Sodom both of his daughters to "do what you will with" in place of his guests).

Unfortunately, the two guests in question just happened to be angels of the most high god. And God doesn't take kindly to being threatened with gang-despoil, hence the rain of fire.

There's a similar story in Judges (I can't remember the chapter, sorry) involving the men of Benjamin trying to despoil another guest. Instead, the guy gave them his slave girl whom they proceeded to despoil to death. The following day, the guy cut her body into 12 pieces and sent them to the other 12 tribes to let them know what happened. I can't remember the details but it lead to a big civil war between Benjamin and the other tribes. Tens of thousands died and the  Benjamite cities got burned down.

as per the NTFS, no thats not true. the ntfs3g package comes installed on ubuntu this days and has absolutely no issues with ntfs partitions. read and write is flawless!! that information is like 3 years late!!

the only thing you cant do YET (i may be wrong or rather outdated) is run fsck to correct errors on a NTFS partition, u have to use windows or an external app to do that.

you should be more afraid of your windows install messing up your drive!!!, may be fatal to the whole data, plus your normal dangerous virus wahala.

why dont u try installing virtualbox, proprietary from their site and then install windows in a VM, its a win win situation. though am guessing u also play all those fancy games. i dont so that works for me. i only run a very few apps when essential so am ok. and ditch chrome and install chromium. u will thank me for that!!!

i dont dual boot anymore, my entire drive is ext4 and wont crash anytime soon, if it does, fsck will cure it!!!

I've been running various versions of Ubuntu/Linux Mint on my desktop for about 3 years now, but i only just installed Ubuntu Lucid on my laptop (my main computer) last week. The thing is, I'm dual booting with windows 7 (for gaming and photoshop) with most of my data on the NTFS partition.

Now I've read that Linux is not very good at writing to NTFS and that using it could seriously @#$% up your data. Has anyone had any experience with this? I have a lot of stuff that I really cant afford to lose and copying everything over is too stressful and a waste of space.

I agree 100% with you,it seems as if its mostly us living outside of naija understand how gun owmnership is a detterent to crime
Guy, what are you saying? Gun ownership deters crime? Then the US must have really low crime statistics, wait, that's strange, they have the highest rate of gun crime of any developed country. Worldwide they're third after Columbia (aka cocaine country) and Guatemala.

South Africa allows citizens to carry guns an that country is now a crime riddled hellhole. They are now number 2 worldwide for assault and murder. One of my friends over there once told me at by 6pm he runs inside his house and hides under the bed. Its that bad.

People can't carry guns legally in the UK and thats why even gang wars mostly only lead to non-fatal stabbings. And criminals avoid using guns because they automatically attract police and media attention. Because of this most police don't need to carry guns therefore far fewer people get killed by criminals and by the police.

If guns deter crime, why is it that the countries where everyone has one have so much, crime?

You need to stop watching Fox News and use your brain friend. Have a nice evening.

Pure political grandstanding by GLJ and it shows that he has neither maturity nor common sense. The government interfering in football matters will achieve nothing other than a long and punishing FIFA ban.

If The president really wanted to clean up the NFF he could have quietly intimidated/blackmailed Sani Lulu and co into stepping down and organizing fair elections. He could have launched a criminal investigation into the NFF or threatened to withdraw funding. There are so many ways of effecting change without drawing FIFA's attention.

Now, because of this single foolish act Nigerian football will be set back years. As if things weren't bad enough. And at the end of everything, the NFF will still be as corrupt and useless as ever.

Sometimes I wonder if the people in Abuja have a single brain cell between them.

This is an excellent idea.

Many people do not understand the way to fight crime in a clever way. In developed countries like UK and USA, sim cards are registered. As a result, all mobile calls in developed countries can be tracked and traced.

Nigerians should support this idea with open mind.
Sim cards are not registered in America or the UK.  A handful of first world countries including France, Germany and Australia do it but its certainly not widespread. Notably, non of the countries with this type of scheme has reported any significant impact on crime.

@evil brain , what a name;please don't show your ignorance in public.in developed countries Sims are registered. which should see it as a welcome development and the question becomes ;the modality of doing this.it could cub crime to a degree, we cant keep on condemning on and on without advising and moving forward.

Sure, maybe the government isn't interested in who the evil brain is calling, but I'm sure they won't mind knowing who Atiku and Buhari and Ribadu and Tinubu and Femi Falana are talking to. Whats to stop them from monitoring their political rivals' call histories or even intercepting calls? Do you think that people who steal billions will think twice before tapping someone's phone? If Gani was still alive, you think his phone wouldn't be tapped?

So the government is going to register sim cards to prevent crime? But whats to stop a thief from stealing someone else's phone and using it to do whatever? And what kind of stupid criminal uses his personal phone to commit crime?

That aside sef, whats to stop me from telling MTN that my name is Nelson Mandela or Oliver DeCoque or something? How are they going to prove that I'm not Nelson Mandela? Hardly anybody has a passport in this country, and the equally stupid national ID project only targeted those over 18 years (less than 40% of the population according to UN figures) and many of those either were never registered, never got their cards or got them and have since lost them.

What percentage of the people in your village (or even in Lagos sef) have any sort of valid documentation, birth certificate or whatever to prove who they are? And whats to stop these criminals that are so dangerous that you have to inconvenience tens of millions of law abiding citizens from simply forging something Salisu Buhari style?

And how is my grandmother going to travel from the village to the nearest Glo service centre God knows how many kilometers away to register her phone? How many hours/days/weeks is she going to queue for. It took me over 6 hours just to reclaim my line when my phone was stolen a few years ago because of the crazy queue at the Glo office in Challenge, Ibadan. What's going to happen when the whole country is rushing to beat the deadline?

And what about the privacy implications? Don't I have the right to make a phone call without our useless, corrupt government knowing about it? What if you're cheating on your girlfriend (not a crime) or plotting to escape from an abusive husband (also not a crime). Is it not your right to keep your secrets secret as long as you're not breaking the law?

This kind of rubbish is exactly the reason why Nigeria is so backward. Because we are too complacent to fight for our rights and freedoms and we're too stupid to notice when the people upstairs are sh!tting on us.

Siasia is the only decent coach we have and even he is untried at the highest level. Anybody who thinks Amodu (or Chukwu or Onigbinde) is a good coach clearly knows nothing about football.

I was told that a simple salt and water solution would be enough to prevent conception. To go abt it , after intimacy (without using protection) d girl puts a pinch of salt in a half cup of water, mixes it and then drinks it. that stops d spermatozoa frm getting to d eggs. how can this be? If this works, why do we still av unwanted pregnancies around the place?
Guy, Don't be retarded. There are many cheap and easy ways to prevent unwanted pregnancy but drinking salt water is not one of them.
You can try using condoms (by far the best way esp. if you're not married), oral contraceptive pills, depo-provera injections, the diaphragm, cervical caps and when all else fails emergency contraceptive pills (postinor). You can get most of these from your local government health centre. If you use salt and water, you're just deceiving yourself.

if u already av salt in your body, y do people claim andrew liver salt works?
Seriously?
Andrews Liver salt contains Magnesium Sulphate which is not the same as Sodium Chloride, your common table salt. It has totally different properties and does totally different things in the body. And it can't prevent prevent pregnancy either. You might want to refer to your secondary school chemistry notes.

Did you get to see pictures of KANYE WEST SUV when he had an accident? He should have died from that accident, but the Doctors and Nurses were able to save him. The point here is, in whatever profession we find ourselves, we should work at it so well, even when we are dead and long gone, people will always remember us for our outstanding work.
Seriously man, don't be silly. So you can now tell just by looking at the car whether or not anyone could have survived? Maybe you should get a job with Lagos State ambulance service so you can warn them before they waste their time on hopeless cases. FYI the following are some of the major factors that determine an accident's survivability:
1. Was the victim wearing a seatbelt? Kanye was, Dagrin apparently wasn't.
2. Did the airbag deploy?
3. What kind of injuries did he sustain? Dagrin had severe head injury while Kanye escaped with only a compound fracture of the mandible, a few missing teeth and some bruises, hardly life-threatening!
4. What kind of first aid did he receive at the scene? Within minutes, Kanye was being attended to by trained EMTs and was in a world class hospital less than an hour afterwards while for God knows how long, Dagrin was at the mercy of "good samaritans" who might have done more damage than the accident itself. I don't think he even got to LUTH until 1 or 2 days after the crash (please correct me if I'm wrong)
5. Economic factors: At the time of the accident, Kanye was sitting on a huge pile of money (his Roc-a-Fella signing bonus) and probably had catastrophic health insurance in country where there is a proper mechanism for recovering debts. Dagrin was in Nigeria, His people probably had serious cash-flow problems during the critical first few hours to days when the money would have made a real difference. Healthcare is very, very expensive and Nigerian hospitals are strictly pay as you go (they have to be because Nigerians never pay their debts). Kanye would have gotten the very best care no questions asked while Dagrin's treatment would have been stop and start.

I could go on and on and on. The two situations are not even close to comparable.

Oh and by the way, if you think that Ben Carson, the neurosurgeon, (that means that he opens people's heads and cuts up their brains) doesn't kill people occasionally, then you really don't know anything.

With that said Doc, don't you think it is the right of the relative of a patient to know what exactly is happening to their beloved one and what they are doing to correct or treat the problem
Of course, relatives have the right to know whats happening but in reality, doctors are stressed, tired, over-worked, under-paid and frustrated. Most of the time they just can't be bothered to talk to relatives when they could be resting, sleeping or saving another person's life. Imagine if you had been working non-stop for 48 hours and just when things are getting quiet, someone starts pulling your shirt that they want to talk. You'd better ask me very nicely or its not going to happen. Its a very difficult job.

Doctors and Nurses play with people's lives and i personally will take any Doctor's life God help him or her if this were to happen to my loved one.
Another problem is that people feel that its o.k. to transfer their frustration to anybody in a white coat. As if you'd still attend to a customer that comes into your office and threatens to kill you. You think your doctor doesn't have a family at home? Who wan die? Yes your wife may be in labour, but tomorrow she will have delivered and you'll be smiling while the poor doctor will be busy dealing with another crisis. This is the reason why people think doctors and nurses are heartless. If you had to watch people cry and panic and bleed and die all day, every day, you'd either find a way to harden your heart or run completely mad. A doctor that can't stay calm under pressure is a dangerous doctor.

Like I said, Its a very difficult job. The problem is that many people are selfish and won't spare a thought for those who are trying to help under difficult conditions. Its easy to assign blame and to demonise health workers. Don't worry sha, we're used to it and we do our best anyway.

We are looking from different angles. . .
If you want to browse a google page, you'll get there is a few seconds with the sub cable.
If you want to access your Nigerian bank account on-line if the server is hosted in the bank in Lagos . . . it'll be the same speed you experience now.
The quality of your skype audio and video calls to me will improve significantly. . . but a skype call to your pals in Lagos will stay the same. . .
That's what you get with an ISP that is only a gateway.
You're right of course, but the problem is there are no websites of consequence hosted in Nigeria right now. Therefore virtually all our traffic has to go through the bottleneck at sat-3. Main One means a much wider neck= higher speeds. The kind of speed most Nigerians are dreaming of is well within the capabilities of EVDO or even gprs (even 50kbs is considered fast here) but I've never been able to max either of these out. So the problem for now is not the last mile though that will change when all the new cables come on line.
