Its a nude club so no alcohol is server but you do get free soda and juice with the cover charge. From the hostess at the counter to the waitress easily some of the most warm and friendly people I have ever run into at a gentlemans club. I had the opportunity to visit Deja Vu in Tampa for the first time this past Saturday night. Girls are pretty, music is good, ambience is good, but the service is terrible. Ive never felt so displeased at a club in my life. Short version: I was promised 3 dances and 15 minutes in the backroom, payed $375, and was escorted back out front after only 1 song. ![]() Now, $375 in, they finally strip, I get literally one song, then Im escorted back out front with hem asking if Ill come back. After a few minutes of her working that angle, she leaves and the girls finally undress. We go to the backroom, where I have another woman come and try to get me to give her $150 so she can join in. At this point, I didnt even get my 3 dances I just paid for. As soon as I did, the one I wanted asked me to go to the backroom with her and her friend, and said it would be great. Im not attracted to black chicks personally, but I gave her $25. I said I only wanted her, but she wouldnt dance without her friend. I gave her $50 (2 dances) and she had her friend come back. I again sat by he stage, and I had a woman approach me asking if I wanted a dance. After spending some time at the stage, I got another dance. She did the same grinding move the whole time, without changing up anything (2 songs). It started out very nice, I got a dance from a pretty woman. My friend had a great time, but I on the other hand did not. Walking around the pole and bending over isnt performing, its being lazy. If were going to pay $20 per person, I dont want to look at unattractive strippers who dont know how to put on a decent show on stage. Ill stick to Mons for pretty girls with better attitudes. We paid for our fun and left, commenting in tandem about the gravity guts, bad attitudes and how much the club has declined in quality over the past 10 years. ![]() The dancer was OK, but I dont think she knew how to entertain a couple. We paid the $5 admission to the private area and had two couples dances that were surprisingly short as the DJ was cutting songs off about what seemed like a minute early. Sad.Įventually my girlfriend spotted one girl out of the crowd she wanted a dance with and we talked for a few minutes about how nice Deja Vu used to be, as she had worked there for supposedly several years. Not a single girl on the Saturday night shift was tone or in shape. ![]() Yes, even the skinny girls had nasty gravity-defying guts. Another staple I noticed at Deja Vu were guts. Maybe its the new popular thing for the girls to be in perpetual bad moods and to just stand around and glare at customers. Our stiff entry fee entitled us to free soda (which we dont drink) and it obviously gave us a free pass to enjoy the nasty attitudes of the strippers. We had to pay $40 for the two of us to get in and I was stunned that the club was now reduced to only one stage and the top tier seating was now roped off for "VIP". Well, after a decade of being too busy to go, my girlfriend and I went this previous Saturday and were very disappointed. They had multiple stages and several talented and attractive strippers. What happened to Deja Vu? In the late 90s and early 2000s my best friend and I would go often to the club (we knew the door girl) and always had a good time.

![]() ![]() That said, my expectations for the new Beautiful Skin Foundation, which launched on January 4 in 30 shades, were set to an all-time high. To sum it all up, I think my top must-buy makeup products (in descending order of favoriteness): 1) Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder 2) Filmstar Bronze and Glow 3) Hot Lips Lipstick (if you have my coloring, you MUST buy Kim KW) and 4) Color Chameleon Eye Shadow Pencil in Amethyst Aphrodisiac.Because I'm on a confession streak, it's also worth noting there have been some extremely admirable foundation launches over the past few months. I’m dying to try the Magic Away, but for now it is only available on Charlotte Tilbury’s own website, and I much prefer the ease of Nordstrom’s delivery and generous return policy! I also want to try her new loose powder, Genius Magic Powder, but I will wait on both of those until Nordstrom carries them. I see they are only carrying the three darkest shades online, so I wonder if they are discontinuing this product to make way for Charlotte Tilbury’s new concealer release, the Magic Away Liquid Concealer. The Retoucher Treat and Conceal stick (a concealer wand with a brush applicator, like YSL Touche Eclat) seemed to have more promising coverage, but they were out of my proper shade at the store. It did not have enough coverage for my under eyes and I’m still loyal to Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer for my dark circles. The Mini Miracle Eye Wand Dynamic Duo is a double-ended wand with eye serum at one end and concealer/brightener on the other end. ConcealersĬharlotte Tilbury currently makes two concealers. But my Pillow Talk lip liner is definitely in the rotation. I still like Urban Decay lip liner slightly better because of the light nude-pink color selection (I love shades Native and Unicorn). I like the smooth formula that allows you fill in your whole lips, and the Pillow Talk shade is a nude that doesn’t read brown and would work on pretty much everyone. I would say Charlotte Tilbury’s best-selling Pillow Talk Lip Cheat Liner is my second favorite lip liner ever. If you like big mascara wands like Diorshow, then maybe you will like Full Fat Lashes. It also does not have the curling power of Cover Girl Super Sizer or Benefit Roller Lash that allows me to skip using a lash curler. I’m not a fan of fat, big mascara wands, and the formula did not seem to add any length to my lashes. I did not purchase the Full Fat Lashes Mascara but I tried it when I got my makeup done at the Charlotte Tilbury counter at Nordstrom. Perhaps Magic Foundation warrants more investigation and an at-home try on, but my first impression is that it is nice but not my favorite. At $44 I think it is reasonably priced for a luxury foundation, but I had already spent so much that I passed on the foundation. I tried it when I got my makeup done at the Charlotte Tilbury counter, but it did not seem to have as much coverage or pore-minimizing perfecting power as my current fave foundation, Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion (read my full review here). One of my blogger friends, So Heather, swears by Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Foundation. The Collagen Lip Bath is nice, and I will use up this tube, but I will probably not repurchase because there are other cheaper options on the market that create the same plumping effect. But the glossiness does not last long enough for me, and I feel like you would go through a $40 tube of this pretty quickly. The marine collagen in the formula does do a surprisingly good job at moisturizing. For like two glorious minutes, this gloss makes me feel like my lips are pouty like Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley’s. Now, on to the post!Ĭollagen Lip Bath is a clear, glossy lip plumper (the kind with the tingly, bee sting feeling, similar to the Buxom glosses).

I accepted this particular opportunity because I had complete freedom to choose the topic and bought all the products with my own money. Nordstrom paid me a flat fee to write this post. Find out what the best Charlotte Tilbury makeup products are! Disclosure Is it as good as everyone says it is? Is it really worth the high price tag?

Thiaderd forces consist of 18 Footpads and Thiaderd himself (all with shields and seaxes/axes and Thiaderd also has a sword so be careful to have a number of decent shielded troops as well). If you lose the fight, you will die and you will need to use the last save. After meeting Thiaderd, the only outcome is a fight in which Thiaderd dies. This will also generate the Thiaderd's hideout temporary location (north of Dorestad, over the bridge). Once you complete the donation mission that he asks, Reginhard will join your party. The Jarl will send you to meet your first (future) companion, Reginhard who you will find in the Dorestad mead hall. Upon returning, the Jarl will give you more money and send you to kill Thiaderd. You just need to recruit 15 men and then return to the Jarl. At the start you automatically get 18 renown and 1400 penningas.

You will decide on the verdict, and have 4 options to end the quest: Monks(-4 reputation,+2 renown, 400 penningas and +5 relation with the Jarl), Farmer(+6 reputation,+2 renown and -3 relation with the Jarl), Jarl(-1 reputation,+2 renown and -3 relation with the Jarl) or nobody (+2 renown, -3 relation with the Jarl). If you threaten the farmer, he will just promise to comply and give the land to the monks. If you threaten the monk, the monk will confess that the abbot falsified the documents. The abbot claims that the document is proper and that the ownership of the land belongs to the church and the farmer will just tell you that he just inherited from his father, but with no documents. Once there, 3 main parties will be found in the Abbot's hall: a farmer, a monk and the abbot. You will need to go to Willibrod monastery (close to Doccinga) to discuss with the abbot.

Michael Cohen talks to reporters as he arrives to testify before a grand jury in New York, Monday, March 13, 2023. To elevate the case to a felony, Manhattan prosecutors need to show that Trump also intended to commit or conceal a second crime - the violation of New York state election law, the New York Times also said. The Manhattan case looks at whether Trump’s company falsified business records - a misdemeanor - by creating a phony retainer agreement with Cohen and saying that Trump’s monthly reimbursement checks to Cohen were for legal expenses, the New York Times reported. When pleading guilty in federal court, Cohen said Trump directed him to make the payment to Daniels to prevent her from selling her story. Cohen had a bitter falling out with Trump after he was prosecuted in 2018 and served time in federal prison for crimes related to the hush-money payment. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has sent strong signals that he’s planning to charge Trump on possible violations of business and campaign finance law, related to the hush-money payment, the New York Times reported last week.Ĭohen, considered a crucial witness in the D.A.’s case against Trump, testified before a grand jury Monday, the New York Times reported. history to be indicted for a criminal offense. ![]() Trump’s alleged affair with Daniels has put the much-investigated former real estate mogul and reality TV star in a legal mess - being the first former president in U.S. “He made this with personal funds to prevent something coming out (that was) false but embarrassing to himself, his family, his young son.” Stormy Daniels, 2018. “It’s not directly related to the campaign,” Trump attorney Joe Tacopina said in an interview on ABC’s Good Morning America on Monday, Vice reported. Daniels has said that the hookup took place at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe about four months after Melania gave birth to their son Barron. The payoff, they say, was Trump’s way to save himself from some personal embarrassment and to keep his wife Melania from finding out that he allegedly had a tryst with the porn star in July 2006. Trump’s lawyers say he had other reasons to buy Daniels’ silence. Trump’s legal team has publicly argued that the hush-money payment to Daniels had nothing to do with trying to affect the outcome of the election, Vice reported. But Manhattan prosecutors, reportedly close to indicting Trump, may argue that the payout violated New York state election law because it would have benefited his candidacy to keep Daniels from revealing their alleged affair. ![]() Google Pay/Wallet, which may state "You can't pay contactless with this device.(Your phone doesn't meet software standards)" on updating or attempting to add a card despite in-app Contactless setup stating "You're ready to pay contactless with your phone (Your phone meets security requirements)", and.The new Integrity API has more strict requirements for passing attestation, and this seems to be enforced in Android 11+ particularly.Ĭurrently (evidently due to this), device security issues are detected by June 2024 is the End of life for SafetyNet API its attestation will no longer work for any app version, and apps will receive an error.

![]() Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (also Leibnitz or von Leibniz) (1646 - 1716) was a German philosopher, mathematician, scientist and polymath of the Age of Reason.Īs a philosopher, he was, along with René Descartes and Baruch Spinoza, a major figure in the Continental Rationalism movement (the main 17th Century opposition to the British Empiricist school of thought of Hobbes, Locke, Berkeley and Hume). (Painting by Bernhard Christoph Francke, c. While critics continue to challenge Leibniz’s views, his contributions to the problem of evil remain an important part of the ongoing dialogue surrounding theodicy and the relationship between God and the existence of evil.By Individual Philosopher > Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz His concept of the best possible world, the principle of sufficient reason, and the principle of plenitude provide a framework for understanding the existence of evil in a world created by a benevolent God. Critics assert that Leibniz’s theodicy fails to account for the unjustifiable and seemingly unnecessary instances of suffering and evil in the world.ĭespite these objections, Leibniz’s theodicy and response to the problem of evil have had a significant influence on philosophical and theological discourse. They argue that the presence of gratuitous or excessive evil, which does not contribute to any greater good, undermines the notion of a perfectly good and all-powerful God. Others question the coherence and logical consistency of Leibniz’s argument. Critics contend that Leibniz’s attempts to justify the existence of evil through the notion of the best possible world do not adequately address the realities of human suffering and moral atrocities. Some argue that Leibniz’s optimism overlooks the magnitude and severity of suffering and evil in the world. Leibniz contends that in the absence of evil, certain virtues and qualities, such as courage, compassion, and forgiveness, would not be able to manifest and develop.Ĭritics of Leibniz’s theodicy and response to the problem of evil have raised various objections. The existence of evil is necessary to maintain the fullness and richness of this diverse world. Leibniz’s theodicy also includes the concept of “the principle of plenitude.” According to this principle, God creates the most complete and diverse world possible, encompassing a wide range of beings and possibilities. Leibniz argues that this world maximizes the overall goodness and perfection, taking into account the necessary existence of evil. He suggests that God, as an all-knowing and all-loving being, chose to create the world with the optimal balance of good and evil. Leibniz further explains that the best possible world, despite the presence of evil, is characterized by a preponderance of good over evil. Leibniz argues that moral evil is a result of human free will and the misuse or abuse of freedom. Moral evil, on the other hand, refers to the actions and choices of moral agents that deviate from the moral order established by God. According to Leibniz, these limitations are necessary to prevent the world from being an undifferentiated mass of perfect beings. Metaphysical evil refers to the limitations and imperfections inherent in the nature of created beings. ![]() Leibniz distinguishes between two types of evil: metaphysical evil and moral evil. Evil serves as a necessary contrast to good, allowing for the manifestation and appreciation of virtue, morality, and human freedom. He argues that the existence of evil in the world is justified by its role in contributing to the overall perfection of the best possible world. Leibniz contends that God, as a perfect being, would create the best possible world, and this world includes the presence of evil for the sake of a greater good.Ĭentral to Leibniz’s response to the problem of evil is the notion of the “principle of sufficient reason.” Leibniz posits that every fact or truth must have a sufficient reason or explanation for its existence. However, he argues that evil is not a fundamental reality but rather a necessary consequence of a harmonious and perfect world. Leibniz begins by acknowledging the existence of evil in the world and the apparent conflict it poses to the idea of a perfectly good and all-powerful God. ![]() In this essay, we will explore Leibniz’s views on the problem of evil, his concept of the best possible world, and his theodicy that seeks to reconcile the existence of evil with the notion of a perfect and benevolent God. Leibniz’s approach to the problem of evil centers on his optimistic metaphysical and theological system. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, an influential philosopher and mathematician of the 17th and 18th centuries, addressed the problem of evil in his philosophical works. |
