A picture of a tsunami sweeping over a coast
Do you remember the Sumatran earthquake that gave rise to a giant tidal wave or a tsunami that swept over the coasts of the Indian ocean back in December 2004? The massive earthquake was recorded at 9.1 on the Richter scale according to a US seismologic station. In comparison, the earthquake that destroyed San Francisco in 1906 has the magnitude of 8.3 on the Richter scale. In this posting I would not like to bring you to look into the earthquakes since I'm not a geologist nor a seismologist, but I would like you to compare the magnitudes between two earthquakes.
Ok. Now let's go back to the Sumatran earthquake that has the magnitude of 9.1 on the Richter scale, how powerful is it in comparison with an earthquake that has a magnitude of 2 (of the Richter scale, of course!)? Let's round off the figure 9.1 to 9 to make it simpler, how much more powerful is it than the one meausring 2? Does it give you 4.5 times? The right answer is 10,000,000 times !!! How can I come up with such 'horrid' answer? This is how the calculation goes:
First of all, you have to know that the Richter scale (named after a US seismologist, Charles Richter) is a logarithmic scale and not an arithmetic scale. Since it is a logarithmic scale, the correct way to calculate the comparison between two earthquakes is like this:
The Sumatran earthquake is on 9 as I mentioned it above, then bring the figure 9 to power figure 10, thus it gives you 1,000,000,000 (10 powered by 9 or 109). The other earthquake is on 2, and let's bring the figure to power figure 10 as well, thus it gives you 100 (10 powered by 2 or 102). From those two new figures above (1,000,000,000 and 100) we can figure out how stronger is the Sumatran quake than the one on the scale 2! It gives the result 10,000,000 or 107(1,000,000,000 divided by 100)! Thus, the Sumatran quake is 10 million times stronger than the one measuring 2! From here, we can also compare between the magnitude of the Sumatran quake and the one of San Fransisco quake in 1906. After rounding off the exact magnitude of the San Fransisco quake to 8, we can figure out that the Sumatran quake is about 10 times stronger than that of the Frisco quake! Easy! isn't it?

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic Viagra is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
