  1. on the topic of sunglasses....whats the deal with wearing sunglasses in a club?.....can you see anything while you are wearing them?.....
  2. typical club planet members...someone says they are excited for an event....they want to increase the trance scene and help broaden nyc's musical scope....add in a little bit of a cheese line...AND BAM THEY GET FLAMED....i think there is a little bit of a class segregation by people w/ a ton of posts...a little bit of nose thumbing...
  3. i stayed at sandals nigrel.......if you are standing on the beach walk left off the resort as if you are strolling down for a walk on the sand.....right off the resort there will be a group of guys standing there....they have any drug that you want....coke,e,shrooms,downers,.......i was there 1 1/2 years ago, but the guy said he's been selling there for about 10 years....watch out for the coke...you only need to buy the smallest bit because the shit is like lightning in your viens...really really really pure shit straight outta columbia....buds are as good as you would imagine being you're in jamaica....you will also be able to buy buds from any cab driver including the one from the airport...
  4. i remember back in the day when it was not even about the dj. it was about the venue, the vibe, and yes of course the music. it was always $20 to get in no matter who was on the decks. $10 on the guest list. this is unheard of these days. in fact, it pretty sad how out of wack the payday that these dj's are scooping up. $50 to go into a club to hear someone spin records? sad, sad, sad my friends. its only going to keep getting worse as time goes on. the only thing that will change the course is people finding alternative places to party, bringing the scene back underground, or supporting local dj's at smaller venues. anyone who pays $50 to see tiesto is a fool. i guess business is business and its the law of economics, but i guarantee that the more out of line things become the worse the scene becomes and something new will emerge. i feel you can already see it by just noticing how the musically educated are starting to turn to techno vs. progressive.
  5. Health - HealthScoutNews Just One Night of Ecstasy May Damage Brain Thu Sep 26, 7:07 PM ET By Adam Marcus HealthScoutNews Reporter THURSDAY, Sept. 26 (HealthScoutNews) -- In a finding that gives the lie to the "try anything once" mantra, even a night's worth of ecstasy use may seriously harm the brain and put users at risk of damage that mimics Parkinson's disease ( news - web sites). So says a new study, which found that just a few doses of the party drug taken over a brief span of hours can destroy parts of crucial brain cells. Researchers have known since the late 1980s that ecstasy -- a chemical called 3,4-methylene-dioxymethamphetamine, or MDMA -- scrambles brain cells that respond to the messenger molecule serotonin. Serotonin is central to mood and behavior. But the new study, reported in tomorrow's issue of Science, suggests that the drug -- which is both a stimulant and a hallucinogen -- can also damage another relay system, this one involving dopamine. Dopamine is a key chemical behind many brain functions, from cognition to movement. Parkinson's disease results from a die-off of neurons that produce the molecule, while parkinsonism occurs when the chemical's activity is interfered with. Ecstasy "could damage brain dopamine cells," said George Ricaurte, a neurologist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and lead author of the study. "We know that it happens in monkeys and baboons. We don't know if it happens in human beings as yet." Ricaurte and his colleagues gave five squirrel monkeys three doses of MDMA over a nine-hour period, simulating the experience of a user at an all-night ecstasy party. As expected, when the researchers examined the brains of these monkeys, they saw severe damage to serotonin neurons. But they also saw that 60 to 80 percent of the dopamine neuron endings in an area called the striatum had been destroyed, damage that persisted for at least six weeks. They confirmed their results by repeating the experiment in five baboons. In both cases, one of the five primates died shortly after being given the drug. Precisely why the animals died isn't clear, Ricaurte said. But he said several ecstasy users have died of inexplicably high body temperatures. Ricaurte's group gave several monkeys a drug, AMPT, that gradually suppresses dopamine much the way aging does. They then looked to see if the combination of AMPT and ecstasy-induced brain damage impaired motor function. It did, suggesting that as dopamine wanes, the injury might lead to symptoms of parkinsonism. Ecstasy seemed to spare the bodies of neurons, affecting only their endings. Since neurons can sprout new endings, it's possible that the damage from the drug might be temporary, Ricaurte said. Repeated use of ecstasy has been linked to problems with sleep, mood and anxiety, as well as elevated impulsivity and attention and memory problems. Studies have found that these effects may last for up to two years after the drug is stopped. Hospital emergency room visits related to ecstasy use have skyrocketed from 253 nationwide in 1994 to 4,511 in 2000, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. "There's no question this is an extremely dangerous drug, and what this study shows is that even the equivalent of one night's use can be dangerous," said Alan Leshner, chief executive officer of the American Association for the Advancement of Science ( news - web sites), which publishes Science. Leshner is also former head of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Leshner said studies of the toxic effects of ecstasy in humans and animals have been consistent, so there's no reason to think that the latest work wouldn't apply to people who take the drug.
  6. that is a massive amount of weight!! congrats!! :clap2:

  8. i don't think that it will be screened for a drug test....i know tons of people who smoke pot and take e and have taken drug tests....none of them failed
  9. don't think i'll be trying that one my friend....
  10. start hitting the gym and eat a healthy diet w/ some indulgence in the mix....you'll feel so much better then being crackhead skinny...same thing happend to my girlfriend....now she looks great!!.....go back and look at pictures of yourself in 1 year and how skinny and unhealthy you probably looked....i do that and it always reminds me that i never want to feel that way again...reminds me of how crazy and wrapped up in it all i was for 1 year....just my thoughts... muscle or fat...(from the internet not me) This seems to be the question on everyone's mind, and for good reason, fat is so easy to acquire and so hard to get rid of. Most bodies love to store fat, it's good security for when you run out of food. This is unlikely, but your body doesn't know that. Unfortunately, the body loves storing fat so much that it will burn anything else available (muscle tissue, stored carbohydrate, etc.) before digging into the fat reserves. Unless you trick it. The first thing your body will burn is stored carbohydrates in the form of glycogen. The next is muscle tissue, only then does it grudgingly dip into the fat stores. This is why most diets don't work, especially "starvation" diets. When you suddenly cut off the food supply, a survival mechanism kicks in causing the body to store every little bit of fat that it can! This results in weight loss, but not much fat loss, and as soon as you DO eat something, it immediately gets stored as fat to replace any that was used. This is NOT what you want, so you have to fool the body into thinking it doesn't need fat. Here is a list of effective ways to do this, and you won't even have to starve yourself! It's never easy though.
  11. i've got really good stuff there twice on a saturday....just figured friday would be harder being dt's slant towards keeping his party drug free....
  12. sorry for all the mispelling...i just took nyquil and i am about to pass out...good night!!
  13. its a virtue that only few obtain....you are more accepting of different types of people and more observant of the good qualities in each individual person....i am the same way....i rarely dislike anyone....you have to be a real asshole for me not to mesh with you or you have to say something that personally offends me....once this guy that i gave the benefit of the doubt looked me in the eye and said "you're not that good looking, you're not that built, and you are not that funny. how do you get so many girls?" .....that was enough to really personally offend me and i have not liked the kid ever since.....no need to learn to dislike...you will dislike them when the sitution warrents it....
  14. my allergies are killing me right now. must be when the leaves are getting ready to fall off the trees or something. it really slows you down.
  15. i would have to say that the would be the number 1 because of the point. what about if you had a third nipple located right next to it? that would change everything!!
  16. i have literally shit in every club in nyc...not that i'm proud about that....e just fucks w/ my stomach i guess....twilo was the absolute worst...centrofly was the most sanitary.....arc is decent if you have to shit, but the stalls are a little small!!
  17. that's most likely a good thing... you are probably back to your normal weight.....it looks so much more healthy with a little bit of meat on your bones...
  18. thank you!! i figured that friday's would be like that.
  19. i will be sober....he's just not as in to the whole club scene and might need a little extra push to loosen up a bit......normally he would drink, but without the alcohol he wants have some stimulation to help him out....besides, doing a little something on the side does not inhibit you from really hearing and connecting with the music...i'm talking a little dabble, not using it to get fucked up and cracked out like 70% of arc @ 6 a.m....
  20. had a 1/2 of a green one a couple of weeks ago and it was decent. got them here in nyc....
