Libya shutdowns send oil soaring

(FT) -- Oil prices surged by more than $6 a barrel as violence in Libya knocked out at least half the country's production, according to industry executives.
Brent oil futures, the global pricing benchmark, jumped 5 per cent to more than $111 a barrel -- a 2½-year peak, while Nymex West Texas Intermediate, the US benchmark, hit $100 a barrel for the first time since October 2008, before falling back to $98. "It is increasingly looking as if this is the real deal in terms of a supply shock," said JBC Energy, a Vienna-based consultancy.
Executives estimated that at least half of Libya's 1.6m barrels a day oil output had been shut down, although they cautioned that they did not have direct knowledge of production at their competitors' oilfields.
Amrita Sen, energy analyst at Barclays Capital, said: "The overall significance of the situation is more than just about lost barrels. Destabilisation in the Arab world, home to the world's largest oil and gas reserves and production, is of extreme significance."
Producers' cartel Opec has said it stands ready to supply the market in case of a shortage.
However, analysts warned that Opec's spare capacity was of lower quality than Libyan crude, suggesting that members of the International Energy Agency, the consumer countries' watchdog, might instead agree to release strategic stocks.
Lawrence Eagles, head of oil research at JPMorgan and a former head of oil markets at the IEA, said: "Without information on the scale and duration of any disruption, Opec cannot accurately gauge how much additional crude to produce. A release [of] stocks by the IEA may meet market needs more closely."
The subject is likely to arise at a regular two-day board meeting to be held by the IEA on Thursday and Friday.
But the agency said: "At present, we are not in a situation where [releasing oil from stocks] is necessary."
Industry executives warned that the effect of the disruptions in Libya could be felt for several months -- even if a semblance of peace were to return to the country.
"If the disruption lasts more than three weeks, the recovery will take time because pressure will be lost," one said.
According to traders, Libya's national oil company has declared force majeure -- a legal clause allowing it to walk away from contracted deliveries -- on refined products. They add that western oil majors could do the same on their contracted deliveries of crude oil within days.
Spain's Repsol and Germany's Wintershall have publicly announced that they have shut down production in Libya, estimated to be 350,000 b/d and 100,000 b/d respectively.
In addition, traders and industry executives said production had ceased at certain fields operated by Total of France and Italy's Eni, equal to a further 300,000-350,000 b/d.
The companies confirmed that there had been some impact on their oil output, without giving details.
The extent of production losses at oilfields operated by Libya's national oil company was unclear.
Ms Sen estimated that as much as 1m b/d may have been shut down -- more than 60 per cent of Libya's total production.

The rest of the country's output was "increasingly under threat", she added.

Conspiracy and corruption towards Late Legendary Grand Master Angel L. Blancia from Panay Island, Iloilo City area Arevalo in the Philippines.

I'll never heard anything in the Philippines concerning all Filipino's half blooded Martial Arts around the globe, Chinese Filipino Martial Arts, Yoga, Hilot Massage etc.... what happen outside the country but its so amazing!!! Well, im glad to knew about it, only when i was here in Canada 2005.

This blog is created to expose the greatest, biggest hypocrites, traitor of all times and dont recognized the name of Creator Late Legendary Grand Master Angel L. Blancia, wife Monserrat Gabo Blancia, Master Jann Philipides Blancia, Master Gladys Blancia, Master Diomedes Blancia, instructor Victoria Blancia, Coordonnator Mercedese Blancia and Grand Master Gloria Blancia Thirnish. These are the people hiding under the guise of nobility yet behind their luster are many rotten realities that if only the people would know, they would surely abhor them.

We the Blancia family are victims of circumtances.
Exactly as what they said.
Politician in the Philippines, Filipino Martial Arts, Chinese Martial Arts
are take advantage by using their power and authority.
Yeah, there is a democracy only for those people
who are employed in the government especially
in high level position.
Each politician established the clan for their own good
and priorities preserving by their power and privileges.
Filipino Martial Arts & Chinese Filipino Martial Arts their family and friends majority are politician 90% to 100%. Since President: Diosdado Macapagal up to President Ferdinand Marcos, President Corazon Aquino, President Fidel V. Ramos, more closer are getting worse until today; the administration of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, senator, governor, mayor, congressman, etc... ambassador from Filipino Consulate General in the Worldwide, Military Task Force Organization etc... There are so many Students and friends of Late Legendary Grand Master Angel L. Blancia are public servant of the Government in the Philippines.
Think of it, our government of the Philippines are top listed in corruption level arround the world.
Especially Filipino Martial Arts & Chinese Martial Art's Around the world... who owned by the following Politicians in the Philippines. Like; Arroyo Administration, Chavit Singson, Mayor Atienza, Gibo, Noynoy Aquino Manny Villar ect.

That's why, former President Marcos Declared Martial Law In order to covered the true story of the filipino People. Only his will are allowed to published on the media, newspaper, radio, tv and so forth. With fully supported of every individual's are those people behind with them, which is until today.

Conspiracy, corruption still going on & Filipino Martial Arts & Chinese Filipino Martial Arts. Silence Type of Martial Law are still Going on with matching Type.

Promoting a Self-Defence Method ( Filipino Martial Arts worldwide) by now, in the whole Philippines with participation of the department of Education & sport officially.

Movies School Gym,T.V. showtime... by using the actresses, actors, friends, politicians included their young generation, outside and inside organization with full of moral support of the government of the Philippines.

Informative & reasonable to restored the important fact, behind the uncovered story of Late Legendary Grand Master Angel L. Blancia behind the dirty walls of the Filipino & Chinese Martial arts Worldwide. If GM Gloria Blancia telling us tha......t she learned her skill from her late father thru the way of Lapu Lapu way back in ancient time ( 1500 - 1600 - 1700 ). Absolutely, my personal reaction on that matters i cannot believe it. It is not comprehensible the fact. Actually, anyone of us can carry the Sword, Stick, Bladed or any thing that possible that can help us, how to depend ourselves at any time situation especially when you're facing in danger situation. Now, the question is; Why the Filipino & Chinese martial art's organization worldwide are knowing each other, helping and supporting each other? The most controversy is that, why this martial art's organization worldwide denied about the Blancia System and no one knews? What does it mean? Why they got an old school in martial art way back 1900 until today. Now, thru the courtesy of his daughter GM Gloria Blancia, we found out that we miss the true artifact in modern time the Legend of true creator and no one else. Anyone, does not concerned to recognized just beacuse everyone got personal interest to be knowned. Well, we cannot denied the truth about the past. And we knew it that all of us, we cannot escape from the past.


*THE TRUTH BEHIND THE PAST & THE PAST BEHIND THE TRUTH *

What if you discovered Filipino Martial Arts, Arnis Eskrima, Doce Pares, Kali, Espada Ydaga, Blade is from the Phillippines with the following art's or any kind of art's in martial art's but actually they're just in one roots of the said Martial Art.

Club Stick is the art of Filipino Martial Art's, Arnis, Eskrima, Doce Pares, Kali, Combat Fighting, Sword, Blade, ect. all this kind of martial art are came in one roots of the said art's known as Kung-Fu Filipino Martial Art's Yoga is the key source of every individual forms of martial art

It's hard to believed that the goodness of Late Legendary Grand Master Angel
L. Blancia with his entire families was abusing by his former students
. I'll share this to those former students are traitor to the Blancia
System....To those traitor you deserve it but not the faithful student's.

Im so much thankful for sharing with us, especially your wonderful question to us. Well, according to the following authors based on ancient time Kung-Fu is came from China. Perhap's this art of Kung-Fu was promulgated by the following Fil...ipino Chinese, Chinese, Filipino Americans a former students of Legendary Grand Master Angel L Blancia. I am appealling the right to form that Kung-Fu is from the Philippines notable in a recent time of 18Th century but not in ancient time.

Cacoy Canete, Dionesio Canete, Dan Inosanto and many more are former students of my late Grand Master Angel L. Blancia. So far ive got so much information about with them. Everytime, Dan Inosanto, Canete's visited secretly ours following students while they're in abroad. And kept reminding with them not to tell about the Blancia System. Therefore, do you have idea why they're not allowed to speak about the Blancia System?

Thus, Filipino Martial Arts Students denied intentionally by betraying, antagonizing secretly, eventually by forgetting their " Grand Master Angel L. Blancia ".Master Gladys Blancia Master Diomedes Blancia, Master John Philippides Blancia, Instructor Victoria Blancia, Grand Master Gloria Blancia.....

Obama drops defense of law against gay marriage

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama has ordered the Justice Department to stop defending the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage for federal purposes as only between a man and woman, according to a statement Wednesday from Attorney General Eric Holder.
"The president has concluded that given a number of factors, including a documented history of discrimination, classifications based on sexual orientation should be subject to a more heightened standard of scrutiny," Holder said.
The key provision in the law "fails to meet that standard and is therefore unconstitutional."
"Given that conclusion, the president has instructed the (Justice Department) not to defend the statute" in two pending cases in New York, Holder said. "I fully concur with the president's determination."
Obama has previously expressed his personal opposition to the Defense of Marriage Act but had never stated an opinion relating to its constitutionality.
The administration had a March 11 deadline to respond to two lawsuits against the measure in New York. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals -- which includes New York -- is the only federal circuit to have never decided the basic legal question of whether a law discriminates against gays and lesbians.
Republicans immediately ripped the decision, calling it a distraction at a time when the focus needs to be on the economy.
"While Americans want Washington to focus on creating jobs and cutting spendingm the president will have to explain why he thinks now is the appropriate time to stir up a controversial issue that sharply divides the nation," said Michael Steel, spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said the administration had to make a decision before the court-imposed deadline.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, praised the decision, calling it a key step forward in the push for equal rights for gays and lesbians.
The administration's decision "is a victory for civil rights, fairness, and equality," Pelosi said. "I commend (Obama) for taking this bold step forward to ensure the federal government is no longer in the business of defending an indefensible statute."
The Defense of Marriage Act was passed in 1996 by the GOP-controlled Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton. It bars federal recognition of same-sex marriages and says states cannot be forced to recognize such marriages from other states.
In July, a federal judge in Massachusetts became the first to rule the law unconstituational. U.S. District Judge Joseph Tauro said that "irrational prejudice plainly never constitutes a legitimate government interest."

Carney said Wednesday the administration will continue to enforce the law.

Check out CNN affiliate KING-TV in Seattle for a report

(CNN) -- A round-the-world boating adventure ended tragically Tuesday for four Americans, whom pirates fatally shot after capturing their yacht in the Indian Ocean last week, U.S. officials said.
The 58-foot vessel, named the Quest, was being shadowed by the military after pirates took the ship off the coast of Oman on Friday. Officials had said earlier Tuesday it was less than two days from the Somali coast.
Ship owners Jean and Scott Adam and Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle were found shot after U.S. forces boarded the vessel about 1 a.m. ET, officials said.
The forces responded after a rocket-propelled grenade was fired at a U.S. Navy ship about 600 yards away -- and missed -- and the sound of gunfire could be heard on board the Quest, U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Mark Fox told reporters.

"Despite immediate steps to provide life-saving care, all four hostages ultimately died of their wounds," U.S. Central Command said.
The incident took place as negotiations involving the FBI were under way for the hostages' release, Fox said. Two pirates had boarded a U.S. Navy ship Monday for the negotiations, he said. He told reporters he had no information on details of the negotiations or whether a ransom had been offered.
Two pirates were found dead on board the Quest, he said. In the process of clearing the vessel, U.S. forces killed two others, one with a knife, Fox said. Thirteen others were captured and detained along with the other two already on board the U.S. Navy ship. Nineteen pirates were involved altogether, he said.
The Adams were from Marina del Rey, California, Fox said, and Macay and Riggle were from Seattle.
The 15 detained pirates were being held together on a U.S. warship, Fox said, and "we will go through the appropriate process to bring them to a judicial process and hold them accountable for their activities."
Somali government officials condemned the killing.
"The Transitional Federal Government of Somalia deeply regrets the deaths," a government statement said. "We condemn the actions of these and all pirates operating from our shores and we will ensure that the captured pirates are brought to justice."
In Washington, the Justice Department issued a brief comment, with department spokesman Dean Boyd saying the United States "is committed to working with our international partners to ensure that the perpectrators of this heinous crime are brought to justice."
A second Justice Department official said there are a number of options for trial of the pirates. Two leading options would be to try the men either in the Southern District of New York or in the Eastern District of Virginia because prosecutors in those districts have experience handling such cases, the official said.
In New York, Abduwali Abukhadir Muse pleaded guilty to the 2009 hijacking of the container ship Maersk Alabama and for taking the ship's captain hostage. Last week Muse was sentenced to almost 34 years in prison for his crimes. He was the only surviving pirate involved in the take-over of the Maersk.
In Norfolk, Virginia, five Somali pirates were convicted after a nine day trial in November of attacking a Navy vessel, the USS Nicholas, which they had mistaken for a merchant ship. A second case in Norfolk involves alleged pirates accused of firing at another Navy ship, the USS Ashland.
The federal judge in the Ashland case threw out the lead count of piracy, but prosecutors are appealing that decision. The attacks on the Nicholas and the Ashland occurred last April.
Another option would be to bring the case in California or Washington, the home states of the victims. The Justice official said it would be possible to try the suspected pirates in almost any judicial district the Justice Department might choose by simply flying the suspects to that location and making it the suspects' first point of entry in the United States.
Fox said authorities believe the pirates were trying to get the vessel and hostages to Somalia, or at least into Somali territory waters.
Fox said it was the deadliest pirate hijacking involving U.S. citizens that he could recall. There have been fewer than 10 fatalities associated with pirate activity in the region in the past few years, he said.
The Adams, Macay and Riggle had been traveling with yachts participating in the Blue Water Rally since their departure from Phuket, Thailand, rally organizers said Sunday on the event's website. The group, which organizes long-distance group cruises, said the Quest broke off on February 15 after leaving Mumbai, India, to take a different route.
A statement from Blue Water Rallies on Tuesday called the four "brave adventurers." "We at Blue Water Rallies are stunned and devastated by the news of the loss of four friends who have had their innocent lives taken away from them by the pirate menace which is plaguing the Indian Ocean," it said.
The Somalis also issued condolences. "I do express a deep condolence to the families," said Omar Jamal, first secretary of the Somali mission to the United Nations, in a statement.
U.S. President Barack Obama was notified early Tuesday of the deaths, White House spokesman Jay Carney said. Obama had a briefing on the situation over the weekend and authorized the use of force against the pirates in the event of an imminent threat to the Americans' safety, he said.
The United States "strongly condemns the murder of four U.S. citizens," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a statement, adding, "This deplorable act firmly underscores the need for continued international progress toward confronting the shared security challenge posed by piracy in the waters off the Horn of Africa."
Forces had been monitoring the Quest for three days, officials said. Four U.S. Navy warships were involved in the response force -- an aircraft carrier, a guided-missile cruiser and two guided-missile destroyers, according to the statement.
Fox said Tuesday authorities believe the 19 pirates came aboard the Quest after traveling on a "mother ship."
The "mother ship" trend -- pirates using another hijacked merchant vessel -- has appeared in the past few months, said Cyrus Mody, manager at the International Maritime Bureau in London. The mother ships provide pirates with "a lot more reach, a lot more capability to move out (farther) into the Indian Ocean," he said.
In addition, pirates can stay on board longer, have appropriate equipment and can demand the expertise of the ship's crew, he said. Previously, pirates typically hijacked a vessel and held it until a ransom was paid, he said.
The Adams were a passionate couple who spent most of their time since 2004 boating around the world, said Scott Stolnitz, who knew Scott Adam, a retired film executive, for nearly 40 years. The couple had a small boat at the Del Rey Yacht Club, where they would occasionally return to visit friends, family and handle business, he said.
But traveling the world on their yacht was where they really wanted to be, he said.
"They loved the experiences they were having with the people they were meeting and the places they were going," Stolnitz said. "We asked them once if they ever looked forward to living on land again, and they both, believe it or not, said no."
He earlier had said the Adams were conscious of pirate threats and were concerned about boating in the area.
One aspect of their travels, according to the couple's website, was "friendship evangelism -- that is, finding homes for thousands of Bibles, which have been donated through grants and gifts, as we travel from place to place." They also said their mission was to "allow the power of the Word to transform lives."
But, Stolnitz said, vigorous evangelism wasn't a major emphasis for the couple. "They use the Bible as an ice-breaker," he said.
Nina Crossland, Macay's niece, said she did not know if the Adams had any weapons aboard their yacht, nor did she know why they decided to break off from a sailing group that was traversing the dangerous waters of the Indian Ocean together.
"We don't know and now unfortunately we may never know," she asid.
Crossland said she was told that Macay was still alive when U.S. Navy SEALS arrived on board the Quest, but the sailors were not able to save her.
Asked earlier whether the U.S. forces were SEALS, Fox earlier said they were "U.S. special operations forces."
Piracy has flourished off Somalia, which has not had an effective government for two decades. While piracy in the Indian Ocean has taken place for years close to the Somali coast, "in 2008 we saw a very marked and rapid shift into the Gulf of Aden, where Somali pirates were attacking and hijacking vessels very, very regularly," said Mody of the International Maritime Bureau.
International navies combating piracy have been fairly successful in setting up a patrolled transit corridor through the Gulf of Aden, Mody and Fox said. But the pirates' activities then shifted into the southern Red Sea, Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea area, Mody said.
In addition, there was "a very large increase" in pirate attacks between 2008 and 2009, although the increase did not continue into 2010, Mody said. He noted that in the first few months of 2010, virtually no pirate hijackings were reported. So far in 2011, "we have already seen more than 50 attacks carried out," he said. "From 2008, what we've seen is they have evolved ... and increased their capabilities."
International counterpiracy teams do what they can to control pirate activities in the region, he said, but "the area in which the Somali pirates are threatening is far too large for a concentrated naval effort like what is happening in the Gulf of Aden, so the navies are mostly relying on a lot of intelligence gathering and targeting vessels based on the intelligence."
The entire United States east of the Mississippi River could fit into the Somali basin, Fox said. "It's a vast, vast area." Currently, 34 warships patrol the region under 15 flags and work well together, he said, but "there's a lot of places where we are not."
In April 2009, pirates seized the U.S.-flagged Maersk Alabama, leading to a standoff in the Indian Ocean. U.S. forces moved to rescue American Captain Richard Phillips after seeing a pirate aiming a weapon at his back, officials said at the time.
Three pirates were killed and one was arrested. The Somali man arrested was convicted of acts related to high-seas piracy, and a federal court in New York sentenced him last week to more than 30 years in prison.

As of February 15, pirates were holding 33 vessels and 712 hostages, according to the International Maritime Bureau.

Palin calls potential rival 'Neanderthal'

Update: Santorum says he and Palin have spoken privately about the issue and are 'fine.'

(CNN) – Sarah Palin is mixing it up with potential rival Rick Santorum, suggesting the former Pennsylvania senator and presidential hopeful is a "knuckle-dragging Neanderthal."

The eyebrow-raising slap came in response to Santorum's recent comments that Palin was likely skipping an annual gathering of conservatives in Washington this weekend because of other "business opportunities" and her mothering responsibilities.

"I don't live in Alaska and I'm not the mother to all these kids and I don't have other responsibilities that she has," Santorum told conservative online radio host S.E. Cupp in comments that some commentators called sexist.
"Just because I'm a mom that does not mean that I didn't want to be there," Palin responded on Fox News Wednesday night. "I'm the proud mother of five…my kids don't hold me back from attending a conference."
"I will not call him the knuckle-dragging Neanderthal," Palin continued. "I'll let his wife call him that instead."
Santorum meanwhile maintains he never meant to insult Palin but was instead merely stating that she is a busy person.
"We've watched every episode of 'Sarah Palin's Alaska,'" Santorum said on Fox Wednesday. "We enjoy it. I know she has obligations to do other things outside of the work she does at Fox. I said I assume she has other things to do."
Both Santorum and Palin are contributors to Fox News.

Huckabee ready to test his message

Washington (CNN) - Former Republican Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said he's using his upcoming book tour to gauge if his message resonates with voters before making a decision on whether or not to make a run for the White House in 2012.

"A Simple Government" hits book shelves Tuesday and describes his philosophy for the national debt, national security, international relations and family values. On a conference call with reporters Monday, he said his 41-city tour will also help him decide if "there is both financial and organizational support that warrants walking away from what I'm doing and getting back into the fray again."

Huckabee, who lost the GOP nomination in 2008 currently hosts a show on Fox News and anchors a radio program. Although he said he enjoyed campaigning in the last election, he did not enjoy the mechanics of running a national operation.
"I love to campaign, it's one of the things that I have enjoyed the most. That is the part that's most appealing to me about getting back in is that I truly enjoy the day-to-day rhythm of a campaign, as insane as that may sound to most people who aren't inflicted with this disease," Huckabee said. "But you know the thought of sitting on a telephone in some office… and just cold calling people I don't know and begging them for money, that's not my forte."
The tour also lets him avoid the news cycle that he said allows "punditry to kind of set the schedule."
"It kind of gives me an opportunity to take that message to the people rather than to wait to be one of 12 people on a debate stage getting four minutes worth of questions," Huckabee said.
But he declined to throw his support behind someone else in the current 2012 field, saying a run for president isn't one where "you just look around and see who else is on the field."
He doled out positive words for Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels and Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour who are both weighing presidential bids, but ultimately said "I'm not going to make a decision based on who else is in or who's not in."

Westboro Baptist Church Squares Off With Anonymous Hackers; No One Wins

The havoc-causing internet collective known as Anonymous -- most notable for their attacks on Scientology and more recently, in support of WikiLeaks and rebellion in the Middle East -- briefly considered Westboro Baptist Church (of "God Hates Fags" fame) as their next target. But it barely lasted the weekend, with threats traded, bluffs called and ultimately, no one coming out on top except the passive observer.
The Church, not really a church at all, is known as the army of the intolerable Fred Phelps of Topeka, Kansas, a man who leads his mindless minions to picket funerals across the country while holding bright, bigoted signs, thereby winning media attention.
Anonymous, then, messed up in the first place by giving Phelps and friends even more eyeballs thanks to an open letter announcing war, unless Westboro ceased its activities:

TO THE CONGREGANTS OF WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH: We, the collective super-consciousness known as ANONYMOUS - the Voice of Free Speech & the Advocate of the People - have long heard you issue your venomous statements of hatred, and we have witnessed your flagrant and absurd displays of inimitable bigotry and intolerant fanaticism. We have always regarded you and your ilk as an assembly of graceless sociopaths and maniacal chauvinists & religious zealots, however benign, who act out for the sake of attention & in the name of religion.
...
ANONYMOUS cannot abide this behavior any longer. The time for us to be idle spectators in your inhumane treatment of fellow Man has reached its apex, and we shall now be moved to action. Thus, we give you a warning: Cease & desist your protest campaign in the year 2011, return to your homes in Kansas, & close your public Web sites.
...
The warning has been given. What happens from here shall be determined by you.

Westboro supposedly responded by daring Anonymous to do something. "BRING IT!" their response letter on Saturday read. Plus, via Gawker:

A puddle of pimple-faced nerds organized under the cowardly banner of "Anonymous" claim they plan to hack Westboro's Websites... Bad miscalculation, girls! Let us tell you how this will go: rebels will build a full head of steam based on false hope; the media will predictably do much breathless anticipating while giving another tsunami of coverage to Westboro's message; God will defeat your council; your efforts will fail.

The following day, a group of Anonymous members, who realized the futility of attacking Westboro, mostly considering the attention it would bring the hate group, wrote a letter going back on their promises to attack to the Church. The partly unintelligible response-to-the-response letter shows the fragmented nature of Anonymous, or just how sloppy the operation can be. The takeaway? Going after Westboro isn't worth it. Or in their words:

In closing, let us assure you: We are not BAWWWING sissies, nor are we afraid of your false god; we're just really busy. Stay tuned, and we'll come back to play another day. We promise. To the Media: Just because it was posted on AnonNews doesn't mean every single Anon is in agreement, in fact in this case it doesn't even mean a single Anon is in agreement. Next time, if you could give us a few minutes to put all our paperwork in order, we'll be sure to let you know what we're up to. (LOL)
To Anonymous: It's a trap. They've got their ports wide open to harvest IPs to sue. Don't DDoS, and boycott Operation Westboro. If you really want to continue messing with them, just send them a few male prostitutes and faxes of goatse. Nothing more.

In all, anti-climactic and masturbatory on both sides, and yet, totally amusing in its own right.
