  1. That’s why it’s called Yelp.
  2. It’s also consistent with sexual assault of a minor: Power.
  3. 8 Things I Wish I'd Known Before Getting Lip Injections https://www.glamour.com/story/lip-injections-cost-before-after
  4. Yes, but I’m not so sure. Placement that high up would have suggested a need to elongate the head, in order to compensate for the angle of vision, which is a technique commonly found in many saintly sculptures in interior church niches. Just making the head larger wouldn’t achieve that, I don’t think. No?
  5. Michelangelo was 26 when he started work on the statue. He was given a huge block of marble that another sculptor had already made a start on. That might partly explain why the hands and head of David are drastically out of proportion with the rest of the figure. But an expressive distortion of the limbs, which was not a characteristic of Ancient Greek sculpture, is also likely an innovation. Michelangelo expanded on it throughout his career.
  6. A replica of Michelangelo's sculpture "David" that formerly graced Forest Lawn cemetery in Cypress was installed in 1989 on the Cal State Fullerton campus--in pieces. The 13 1/2-foot-long marble work, toppled during the October, 1987, earthquake, was not be repaired.
  7. No one said they didn’t. Irrelevant to what I wrote. In fact, you are confirming what I wrote — that the insurer, not the DSM, is calling the shots. So thanks!
  8. Yes, insurance does. How an insurance company may or may not use the DSM says more about them than it. Authority is "the power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience." The DSM has no enforcement power. Zero. There's a reason it's called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual.
  9. You need to figure out the differences between “authority” and “consensus.” One is about dominance and control, the other is about a socially constructed hunch. One sets up an obstacle to change, the other invites it. The DSM is consensus, not authority. That’s why it changes.
  10. Given that gambling disorder was reclassified from a disorder of impulse control to a behavioral addiction in the DSM-5, there is now no theoretical reason why other behavioral addictions can’t be added in the years to come. A pathological relationship to a mood-altering experience can be as self-destructive as a pathological relationship to a mood-altering substance.
  11. You could try shockwave therapy. Shockwave therapy uses energy from acoustic waves to trigger a process called neovascularization in certain parts of the body. When neovascularization occurs, new blood vessels form. This helps improve blood flow to the region. This type of therapy has been used to help heart patients, people with kidney stones, and those with fractures and joint inflammation. Recently, scientists have investigated low-intensity shockwave therapy to help men with erectile dysfunction (ED). Blood flow is critical to a man’s erections. When a man is sexually stimulated, arteries widen so that his penis can fill with blood. The blood is what gives the penis the firmness needed for penetration. A man who has problems with blood flow to the penis may have weaker erections or may be unable to have erections at all. To administer shockwave therapy, a clinician applies a probe to the penis, which is coated in a special gel. Different areas of the penis are usually targeted. Treatment sessions may last for fifteen to twenty minutes. Men usually don’t need anesthesia or experience pain, although they might have a tingling sensation in the treated area.
  12. And, that nervous worry will make it even more difficult. Exhale. Now, and every time you think of the impending event, and definitely when he’s slowly sliding it in.
  13. Rationalization is a marvelous thing.
  14. Is Ceards pronounced with a hard C? (Irish, I’m assuming.)
  15. A thousand here, a thousand there...soon you're talking about real money.
  16. I saw Mr. Pecker...er, Becker in this marvelous Broadway play. He was impressive.
  17. Would have been so much better if the cop Tased her.
  18. Uh... Is this a Make a Wish Foundation thing gone horribly wrong?
  19. Cow-toe? I’ve heard of camel-toe, but never cow-toe.
  20. If “the closet” is so self-evident as the movie’s theme, it is certainly odd that it is almost never mentioned as the movie’s theme. Instead “Brokeback” is falsely claimed to be a conventional love story — hetero in the guise of homo. Nope. Both narratively and visually, “Brokeback Mountain” is a tragedy about the specifically gay phenomenon of the “closet” — about the disastrous emotional and moral consequences of erotic self-repression and of the social intolerance that first causes and then exacerbates it. If Jack and Ennis are tainted, it’s not because they’re gay, but because they pretend not to be; it’s the lie that poisons everyone they touch.
  21. Actually, the subject of the film is the closet. I don’t believe that’s a story that had been done even once before, never mind a million times.
