The party was interesting. It was in a big loft area (or house)... The music was a mix of electro and slow breaks... I didn't dance much but enjoyed for once the chill of the basement where a bunch of people were relaxing listening to beats... Ended up being like a big house party to me!

Anyways... More later when I'm more awake!

If anyone makes up a really good color scheme, let me know and I'll make it into a template so people can automatically choose from a selection of premade colors!

It totally works now! I hope it works in Netscape...

(style type="text/css")
A { color: #dd3829; text-decoration: none; }
A:hover { color: #38cb29; text-decoration: underline; }
.lyrics_happy { color: #cc0000; }
.lyrics_euro { color: #00cc00; }
.lyrics_trance { color: #cccc00; }
.lyrics_other { color: #0000ff; }
(/style)

What would the javascript code be to change the color of the style "lyrics_trance"...

The program to change your colors is almost done... The only thing missing is when you change a color it automatically changes it on the screen (this should be coming soon)...

If anyone has a good template let me know and I'll add some so people can change colors fast!

Let me think...
Yah you sound like him...

You talk like he talks...

Ok, now that the site is almost complete we need to get most visitors. If any of you have any ideas how to get the people I think we should work as a team. I think word of mouth is the best idea but if anyone has any other ideas, I'm up for spending a little money to bring this site to life...

Everything will look good soon... Don't worry all the colors will be changing when things are done... Just wait for all the scripts to be changed, it will be by may 17th (and no this isn't like other sites where we don't go by our deadlines)...

The new ravewave is coming and it will be 100% totally customizable, which means you will be able to change ALL the colors! The look is a little different, it looks like the ravewave from way back when...

It's not just women who are susceptible to shifting hormones. If your honey is behaving like a bear, he could be suffering from what's being called "irritable male syndrome" or IMS.

By Jean Lawrence

"Men have hormone problems just like women," declares Cindy Esterly, a certified aerobics trainer in Phoenix, who often lectures on how men and women can better manage their hormones.

Indeed, Gerald A. Lincoln, a researcher at the Medical Research Council's Human Reproductive Sciences Unit in Edinburgh, Scotland, recently coined the term "irritable male syndrome" (IMS) to mirror the infamous PMS in women. Lincoln says these hormone imbalances go far beyond the now recognized "male menopause" and can manifest at any time in life.

"Men's hormones pulsate hourly, compared with every 28 days for women, " confirms Larrian Gillespie, MD, a retired Southern California urologist and author of The Gladiator Diet: How to Preserve Peak Health, Sexual Energy, and A Strong Body at Any Age.

Lincoln first noticed IMS in Soay sheep, a hefty, curly-horned species given to noisy rutting rituals surpassing even Sunday football. In the autumn, he found, the rams' testosterone levels soar and they rut like mad. In winter, the levels sag and the rams lose interest in the opposite sex and are "nervous and withdrawn," striking out at other males irrationally. They also were more likely to throw out the rulebook and get hurt during such violent "discussions."

"Irritability-anxiety-depression syndromes associated with withdrawal of sex steroid hormones are well recognized in the female," Lincoln notes in his study, which appeared in Reproduction, Fertility and Development. "The occurrence of a potentially similar behavioral syndrome following withdrawal of testosterone has received less attention."

Symptoms of IMS

Obviously, such declines in testosterone can be predicted after prostate surgery. But according to Gillespie and Esterly, they can occur at any time in any male as a result of diet, environmental factors, or stress. "[Or] you can have a normal testosterone level and elevated estradiol -- the usable form of the so-called "female" hormone estrogen," points out Gillespie.

A simple blood test may tell the tale. Your total testosterone level should be 400 nanograms per deciliter, free, or unbound, testosterone 25-30 picograms per milliliter, and estradiol 15-20 ng/dl. "No one really knows the ideal level of testosterone," Gillespie adds. "The bound kind converts to estradiol, which can cause problems. It's the unbound kind that's gold."

Esterly, who often gets referrals from physicians to help people tweak their hormones, says a relatively slender man with enlarged breasts once consulted her. He had many of the symptoms of elevated estradiol, she says. In addition to swollen breasts and a bloated "fluffy" look, IMS symptoms include: exhaustion, unexplained weight changes, frequent urination, gallbladder or gut problems, hypoglycemia, snoring, incontinence, an elevated PSA, high cholesterol, bone loss, hair loss (besides male pattern), impaired thyroid function, loss of muscle or stamina, skin problems, softer erections -- and irritability. "Many of these men are overweight," Gillespie notes, and fat harbors estrogen.

What Can You Do?

If you think your hormones might be out of whack, consult your physician. He or she may tell you to take some progesterone, another hormone that in some respects counters estradiol. Esterly recommends smoothing a nickel-sized dab (1/4 teaspoon) of progesterone cream on face and hands each day. Although increased estradiol usually is more of a problem than low testosterone, Gillespie says some men may need to supplement with testosterone. She recommends another topical -- androgel, which is also applied to the skin. But she warns: "When it comes to hormones, you want to baste, not marinate."

Esterly also recommends a high-quality vitamin, increased calcium, magnesium, and saw palmetto, an herb.

After you have gotten used to these routines, take a look at your diet. "Sugar and dairy are usually culprits," Esterly says. An excess of meat, Gillespie says, may have helped IMS to develop. Meat contains a number of hormones, including estrogen. Prescription medications of many kinds also interfere with hormone receptors. And stress increases corticosteroids, which have been shown to depress testosterone. In other words, there are many roads to Rome -- and Rome is where gladiators live.

Gladiators are fit, trim, and can wrestle tigers all day, Gillespie says -- thus her Gladiator Diet [ www.gladiatordiet.com ] She recommends men eat a diet that's 40% protein (watch those hormone-laced steaks and chickens), 35% low glycemic carbs (think squash and green veggies instead of Twinkies), and 25% fat. Of the latter, only 10% should be saturated fat, though you are allowed a teaspoon of unsalted butter a day just to jumpstart the gallbladder. Avoid licorice, though; even the amount in four black jellybeans can drop testosterone in a heartbeat, Gillespie notes.

Take heart, men! It's easier for you to diet and lose pounds in addition to IMS -- because you have half as much leptin, a substance that causes fat to be stored as love handles. Exercise is good, too, of course, 30-40 minutes a day. Even that has advantages beyond the obvious -- Gillespie says leg presses dramatically increase blood flow to the head of the penis.

Wives, Take Note

Men go to the doctor 27% fewer times than women. Most wives don't need the National Institutes of Health to tell them this. "Many wives start this program," Esterly confides. "They may apply the progesterone cream to their husbands during a massage. Once the guy sees the results, it's amazing what he will do for himself."

Most men, Gillespie advises, would benefit from getting a baseline reading on their testosterone and estradiol at age 35." You don't have to wait until experiencing a symptom or erectile dysfunction, she adds. Many with IMS manage in that department fine -- it's before and after that's not what their mates would want it to be.

I think montreal is turning into toronto... We will not have any parties in cool places anymore :(

Rats steered by a computer up to 500 yards away could soon help find buried earthquake victims or dispose of bombs, scientists said Wednesday.
The remote-controlled "robo-rats" can be made to run, climb, jump, or turn left and right through electrical probes, the width of a hair, implanted in their brains. Movement signals are transmitted from a computer to the rat's brain via a radio receiver strapped to its back.

One electrode stimulates the "feel good" center of the rat's brain, while two other electrodes activate the cerebral regions that process signals from its left and right whiskers.
Scientists at the State University of New York trained the wired-up rats to turn left or right in a maze, according to the artificial whisker stimuli. In training, a shot of euphoria rewarded the rats for responding correctly, but after that they turned on cue without any need for reward, the researchers said in the scientific journal Nature.

Small, agile and with an acute sense of smell, the rats can be fitted with satellite positioning tags and trained to seek out explosives or a human body, playing a possible role in security or disaster relief work.

Talwar admits that playing with animals' minds, especially for dangerous missions, raises ethical questions but points out that the rats live as long as their untreated brethren and lead perfectly normal lives when not wearing their mind-altering backpacks.

"They're not zombies--they work with their instincts," he said.

I can go on for a long time... You might have to pay off about 60$ if i'm luckey...

Why Masturbate?
It feels good.

It helps maintain good pelvic blood flow and strong pc muscles.

It's safe sex.

You don't have to worry if your partner came.

You learn what's best for your pleasure by masturbating, which in turn improves your sex life with your partners.

It's great for stress relief and can help you sleep.

Interesting Masturbatory Facts:
According to the latest issue of Flare magazine, in the 1800s, physicians induced orgasm, considering it a valid treatment for hysteria because they thought the condition was triggered by sexual deprivation. Eventually, a doctor invented the vibrator so women could "treat" themselves at home. Yet in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, western doctors blamed masturbation for everything from mental illness and tuberculosis to loose morality. Treatments varied from spiked rings to prevent nocturnal erections in boys and clitoridectomies (removal of the clitoris) for women. An orgasm is considered a good way to temporarily relieve menstrual cramps in women and stimulate the prostate gland in men, reducing the incidence of prostate infections.

The Hassle Free Women's Clinic is a community-based clinic providing medical and counseling services in all areas of sexual health. It is the largest anonymous HIV test site in Canada, and one of the country's busiest sexually transmitted disease clinics. The clinic provides services related to all facets of women's sexual and reproductive health.

Mama so fat a picture of her fell off the wall...

Mama so fat the animals at the zoo feed her...

Mama so fat she broke her leg and gravy came out...

Anyone have any cool ideas which I can do?

"Brain Wash" was hardcore and speedcore only...

Fixed... Used .wma and not .wmv (video not audio)...

Picutres are now online...

For those of you who have never been to a massive thing, it's worth an experiance... 5000 people isn't the biggest but you'll get a good feel of something decently commercial and I'm sure the deco and whatnot will be nice...

Mr. Media, would I be able to come for 1 hour to take pictures for the website? I also have done 4 parties...

There were definately more people at fugitive escape...

She is my biatch...

Nathan is NA...

I'm probably going... I don't think the times that people are playing are good but whatever...

If you know any of the missing Dj's please reply to this thread...

[ www.rave.ca ]

He lost...

Dude that's always been on the site to add events since last year or before... We are talking about the MyCalendar thing...

Here is a sample of the party, the full version will be online soon...

[ www.rave.ca ]

That is funny... I dunno why anyone would wanna become a soldier... Maybe it's to feel powerful... I think some people have a complex where they need power and can't get it so they join the millitary...

I'll make it into a AVI/MPEG file or something...

Just bring it here I'll record it for everyone...

The MyCalendar thing is working... You should be able to add rave events starting next week I guess. If you have any ideas please let me know. I will be adding an address book also in the future probably...

Anyways it was a wicked party, and maybe it ends a trillogy of wherehouse parties unless in the future it feels right to do another one (dunno though)... This party definately was the most accurate of "The London Underground" and showed with a little immagination not all raves have to be 90% exactly the same. I hope people will learn from this and create more concepts other than loud music in a room without any thought to it...

Props to everyone who helped clean and it's too bad not everyone (including me) didn't get to spin... Such as life on an open decks day...
