Facebook, necklines and no earthquake, by Francis Chartrand
We can found on Facebook a string of unnecessary groups as found interesting groups. And, here and there, we find some fun groups that stand out from the crowd. They show us as often as they can convey ideas that cross the border of virtual ...
Have you heard of "Boobquake" this week? How do you not heard of this idea was hatched female head of a young American? Here is how an idea Women in reply to an absurdity male has spread across the Web as a wildfire. And to think it all started with the aim of a sermon right-thinking Iranian Ayatollah!
Indeed, last April 17, Ayatollah Kazem Sedigh, imam of Friday prayers in Tehran, was quoted by the Iranian daily Aftab. The latter told his followers the power (unknown) of women on Earth: "There are many women who do not dress decently [...] that can prevent young men astray, corrupt their chastity, which increases earthquakes."
When women replicate ...
The quote that goes around the world (and who made many people laugh) fell into the ear of a young blogger outraged American Jennifer McCreight. On a whim, she decided to open a Facebook group to propose a female experience quite anecdotal. Thus was born the "boobquake."
The idea is to check this absurdity by inviting a maximum of liberated women to reveal their cleavage, just to see if it would increase the earthquakes. In my case, I do not really need a specific day to wear a plunging neckline! And yet, despite all my efforts, I never managed to trigger one small earthquake.
The success of this Facebook group has quickly surpassed the expectations of its organizers. Initially, Jennifer McCreight had launched the idea as a joke ...
But since it was a joke and there is nothing more frustrating than to hear such nonsense, tens of thousands of women have cleavage most challenging their wardrobe last Monday (in over those who are without even thinking!).
All this not to cause or be vulgar, but simply to participate in a bizarre scientific experiment.
After all, has said the young American student, said that if the imam is true, try to prove ...
Operation "Boobquake"
In a few days tens of thousands of people registered on its Facebook group. The movement was launched. Nothing could stop him.
Then radio and newspapers have started talking about the real. It is not surprising to learn that "Operation Boobquake" was covered by the largest U.S. media CNN, BBC, CBC, ABC, FOX, and then goes around the world.
That said, the young woman in question is surprised anyway. She would never have thought that running a small Facebook group could make as much noise! Not to mention the excitement that can also be found on Twitter ...
Good player, Jennifer McCreight has even been tabulating results in very serious to test the theory of this imam. An imam who was certainly no awareness of the power of social networks in the Western world. Had he known that his words would cause such reactions, he would have refrained from saying such nonsense?
An avalanche of necklines shakes the Web ...
In the end, he appears well on a massive outflow of female cleavage does not increase the risk of any earthquakes.
Moreover, it is now possible to buy a T-shirt online to proclaim the fact that we survived the "boobquake"! In fact, this idea started as a joke has demonstrated greater impact of the social web that the power of women's breasts ...
For the anecdote, it may well indicate that an earthquake of 6.9 on the Richter scale occurred in Taiwan on the morning of "Boobquake. Not provided destabilized, Jennifer McCreight said on Twitter that occurs an average of 134 earthquakes per year and that the transaction was whether we could detect a significant increase in earthquakes that day.
In short, we have long known that women can move mountains, but against all odds, a surge of cleavage and bare legs do not cause additional earthquake.

Sexual Abstinence: side effects?, by Tania Tokarski
Abstinence and chastity shade
According to the Web encyclopedia Wikipedia, sexual abstinence (or abstinence) is the "non-use of the genitals for sexual activity." The significance of the most usual being in a relationship with another individual, but also includes masturbation. They do not necessarily choose abstinence. Chastity, she wants a lifestyle choice, religious conviction or desire for spiritual uplift, for example.
Implications
In terms of sexuality, there are very few standards. Therefore it is difficult to establish a precise list of "harm" that may result from lack of sexual activity with a partner. For although some studies claim that sex is good for health, sleep quality and even IQ, we must keep in mind that sexuality is not lived only two: an orgasm solo bring the same benefits biological an orgasm for two. Must still be comfortable with the pleasures alone! Psychologically, however, abstinence can have some impact will vary from one single to another. "In periods of prolonged abstinence, I feel tense, and this, both physically and psychologically," says Cynthia, 30. "I have less concentration, I feel more anxious or aggressive. "
But all women do not react as Cynthia. According to Josée Leboeuf, clinical sexologist and psychotherapist, sustained abstinence can bring out in each person the "weaknesses" already present in his personality. For example, if you tend to depreciate, depress, to get excited or isolated, abstinence is likely to amplify these traits. One thing is certain: we forget the belief that persons abstinent for a long time might develop deviant!
Other consequences: some women are afraid of not knowing what to do, believe that their talents are lovers lost forever. A belief can be a real obstacle. "I'm afraid to resume a sex life and that hinders me in my efforts to meet somebody," said Nathalie. Finally, physically, a woman may be more difficult to lubricate and feel pain during penetration after several months of abstinence.

Topless ban to protect Muslims and Asians: Nile, by Francis Chartrand
Conservative MP Fred Nile says he wants topless bathing banned in NSW to protect Sydney's Muslim and Asian communities.
The Reverend Nile has rejected allegations that prudishness is behind a bill he has prepared to ban nudity, including topless sunbathing, on the state's most popular beaches.
Australia's reputation as a conservative but culturally inclusive sociery was at risk of erosion by more liberal overseas visitors, he said.
"Our beaches should be a place where no one is offended, whether it's their religious or cultural views," he said.
"If they've come from a Middle Eastern or Asian country where women never go topless - in fact they usually wear a lot of clothing - I think it's important to respect all the different cultures that make up Australia."
The practice was at risk of raising the ire of Muslim men in particular, Mr Nile said.
"I don't want to have any provocations or disturbances on our public beaches," he said.
Acting Premier Carmel Tebbutt and the NSW Opposition Leader, Barry O'Farrell, have both said that topless bathing is an issue for local councils, not state governments.
But Mr Nile said he believed most politicians would come around once all the issues were considered.
"I think if you survey Australian women you'll find a lot of women would be uncomfortable if it became the custom [to be] topless at the beach," he said.
"Australia's always been a conservative country as far as beachwear goes.
"Once being topless is accepted as lawful the next question will be why can't women go totally nude on a public beach and I don't think Australians want to go down that pathway."
NSW Liberal powerbroker David Clarke and Labor MP Paul Gibson have reportedly vowed to support the bill.
AAP reports:
Mr O'Farrell said topless bathing was not a matter for Parliament.
"This is a matter for local councils to deliberate, at a time when state parliament should be focusing on roads, public transport, hospitals and education," he said today.
"It doesn't rate on the list of important matters for the Parliament of NSW."
Up to individuals: Gillard
Speaking to reporters in Melbourne, acting Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the topless issue was one of context and clear signage.
"People want to go to the beach and use the beach in a variety of ways. Obviously family groups want to go to the beach, people who want to get a bit of sun all over also want to go to the beach," she said.
"As long as people know what the rules are and know what to expect I think it is a matter for the individuals involved."
Ms Gillard urged topless bathers to be sun smart.
"There is also a stage where people should be getting the hat on, getting the shirt on and getting the sunscreen on," she said.
Topless bathing not an issue: Bondi mayor
Waverley Council Mayor Sally Betts says she is aghast at moves by state politicians to outlaw women from sunbathing topless on NSW beaches.
"We've got alcohol-related violence, we've got under-age drinking and anti-social behaviour in the public domain - those are really important issues," Ms Betts told Fairfax Radio Network.
"If the Reverend Nile really wants to help people he should focus on those issues."
Ms Betts said she was at the beach on Christmas Day and Boxing Day and did not notice any topless women.
But if it was a problem, she would have heard about it, she said.
"In Waverley, we have a very involved community. They complain about everything," she said.
"But nobody has complained to me about topless [women]."
Buy peace, to reduce their demands, fear of Muslims.
It is a way that suggests their superiority enshrined in the Koran.
That is exactly what not to do.
It is for Muslims to adapt to the customs of their home countries, it is not we who live in the Middle Ages, it was for them to evolve and not up to us to retreat.
Where does this annoying habit of always wanting to give way to the weak and ingnorants?
A child is born parents become his slave, a child entered the school teachers becomes his servant, an immigrant enters the country people to kiss your feet, give up their culture, trample their own rights and their freedom.
It happens anyway? Did I miss something? Laws of nature are reversed? Now it is the law of the weakest? mice eat cats, sheep slaughter wolves?
Looks like an old song by Paul Piché: There is more teacher in our homes because you're there.
Francis Chartrand
PS: By the way, I like topless girls on beach, just a matter of principles... ;-)

Save the topless bars!, by Richard Martineau
There's a wind of Puritanism breath on the country.
After Stephen Harper which is a sign of the cross when he hears the word "seal" and the status of women who skate hair legs when Madonna closed the leg a bit too high, it is now the turn of the mayor of Granby want to close the last topless bar of the municipality to protect "the family-oriented downtown."
Montreal going to imitate Granby? Not according to the spokeswoman for the Mayor Tremblay.
"Montreal has a strong economic, cultural and international," said Ms. Sauriol to the Journal.
A JEWEL OF OUR HERITAGE
What topless bars have to do with the economy, tourism and culture, you ask yourself?
Well, everything.
First, topless bars are part of Quebec.
What we found in each municipality of La Belle Province? A case pop, a chemist Jean-Coutu, a church and a bar dancers. With factories in corrugated iron and trailers to potato chips, these monuments are the four pillars of the architectural heritage of Quebec.
From Red Light of Val-d'Or to Triple Sexe of Jonquière through Sherbrooke The Tigress and The Body Shop Saint-Antoine, bars dancers are Quebecois villages that are covered bridges in southern U.S. .
TRAPPES TO TOURISTS
You really think that tourists come to Montreal to see the Olympic Stadium, Place Ville-Marie and Notre Dame?
No: they come to Montreal to go have a drink at Parée and at Wanda's.
Ruins, buildings and churches, tourists have mass home. That their fate by the ears.
But beautiful girls running around on a pole She's Got The Look for Roxette, that they do not.
Instead of closing the topless bars, the mayors of Quebec should subsidize.
No, it's true: what would the hockey players if Parée did not exist? Where they meet their blond?
THE MECQUE
Why do racing fans like they come to Montreal, do you? For the beauty of the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve?
No. They like to come here because Montreal has more bars dancers per square kilometer than any other North American city.
It is not Gérald Tremblay, Raymond Bachand and Michael Fortier should be sent to the bedside of Bernie Ecclestone to save the F-1. It is the owners of clubs of the metropolis dancers! The owner of Solid Gold, manager of Super Sex!
They not find words to mollify Bernie. The words, but the images.
And then, everyone knows that Montreal is one of the world capitals of dance. Marie Chouinard, Ginette Laurin, Edouard Lock and Louise Lecavalier are recognized by all over the world.
Ditto for the young and nice Sandra in the second part of his show ...
In short, not sure that the mayor of Granby has made the right decision in closing the last club dancers in the city.
After all, if he does not like the idea that people pay to see furry creatures, why do farm he not the zoo?
