And Now, With Only Two Days Left in May - Water Balloons in Super Slow Mo'
By DON WINNER for Panama-Guide.com - You know, when there are only a couple of days left in any month, the traffic arriving to the website during that time either make the month record breaking, or just a "normal" month of solid traffic. Well, as it turns out, May 2010 has a shot a breaking a couple of records, but it's going to be close. Therefore, as is my standard practice, I like to toss up something a little different to try to "pad" the stats a little, just to see if it might help to put things over the top. I make blatant pleas to all of you, my faithful regular readers, to help spread the word, to send articles and links to friends and relatives who you think might be interested in the website. But mostly, I toss up photos of hot chicks in tiny bikinis because, well, I just kinda like to do that. This month it's time for something a little different. I like science, a lot. I love those programs where they film stuff in super high definition slow motions cameras, because it allows you to see things you don't normally get a chance to see because it goes by too fast. I love this video for a couple of good reasons (grin). First of all, check out the ball of water seemingly suspended in the air after the balloon has broken but before gravity has taken back over to bring the water crashing down. Then there's the "bounce and resonance" affect that's clearly visible. Anyway, I'll set aside any further weak attempts to justify why I'm throwing this video up on the website. If you can think of anyone who might think it's cool too, send them the link. Good lighting, sharp focus, super slow mo', and water balloons. What's not to like?

It's too bad for people who like to watch pornographic films in bars and taverns. You can't do it in the district of Boquete anymore, thanks to a recent decree handed down by the Mayor which bans such displays in these establishments. Manolo Ruiz, the mayor of the district, said these displays are detrimental to good morals. The owners of these premises who do not comply with this new rule will be fined $500 for the first offense, and they can be fined up to $5,000 dollars for the second or subsequent offenses, and their clubs can also be closed.

Some of the relatives of the women who were arrested during a raid conducted by immigration authorities at various brothels in Panama City are desperate and very annoyed. The women say their papers are in order but they are being deported to their home countries anyway. By way of protest, one of the women undressed inside of the Transitional Prison of the Immigration System. For her part the Director of Immigration, Maria Cristina Gonzalez, denied such accusations. She said the women are being deported because they do not, in fact, have their papers in order. They lack the card for "performing artists" issued to allow them to work in prostitution legally for nine months in Panama. Relatives of the detained women say they are sleeping on the floor due to overcrowding in the immigration jail. During the raid more than 60 people from different nations were arrested for not having their papers in order. (Source: TVN Noticias)

There’s nothing like a bit of banter when you’re blowing things up, as the first Battlefield Bad Company game proved. Now EA is reuniting the hapless B Company for more destructive action and amusing quips. Expect to cause chaos and ride a host of vehicles in locations stretching from snowy Russian villages to the Panama canal and look forward to extensive online multiplayer options. And this time: You can destroy whole buildings, including the frames. (Source: http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk)
Things are getting hot and heavy in Copenhagen ahead of the city's massive climate change conference. The city's mayor warned hotels against patronizing Danish prostitutes during the upcoming U.N. summit — but the Copenhagen hookers are reportedly striking back by offering free sex to anyone who ignores the warnings. Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards to 160 Copenhagen hotels, urging guests and delegates to refrain from buying sex, Spiegel Online reported. The city's prostitutes have retaliated by offering free sex to anyone who brings one of the cards to an assignation. The response is being organized by the Sex Workers Interest Group (SIO), which says the mayor's move is "sheer discrimination." "Ritt Bjerregaard is abusing her position as Lord Mayor in using her power to prevent us carrying out our perfectly legal job," SIO Spokeswoman Susanne Moller told the Danish Web site Avisen.dk. "I don't understand how she can be allowed to contact people in this way."
