"My father was always the king of naps. As a child, I remember the Swiss precision with which my dad would retire to the living room every day after lunch for a fifteen-minute nap. When I was taking care of him, of course, he was ninety-six, so napping was more of an occupation than a hobby. Carla bought him the blinders to wear, since he did a lot of his napping in that chair during the day. Sometimes, when I was over, we'd take a nap together, each of us sitting in our respective chairs. We'd wake up, smile at each other, and then I'd go and get him some orange juice." —Phillip Toledano
Aperture is pleased to offer our collectors a very special limited-edition photograph by Phillip Toledano after first highlighting his Phonesex series in issue 193 of Aperture magazine. Published in book form in June 2010, the series Days with My Father is a body of work Toledano started after his mother's death in 2006. His father, who was suffering from a lack of short-term memory, needed his attention. Toledano documented their relationship in a form of a journal until his father's death. Intimate and touching, but never intrusive, the work addresses the emptiness, love, sadness, loss, and hope experienced by father and son during this fleeting period.
In the late summer of 2008, Toledano posted the work on the web. "I'm not really sure why I did it," he said. "Perhaps, in some way, I just needed to unburden myself, and it was easier to do it with people I couldn't see. I certainly didn't expect anyone to be listening. To my great surprise, after a few days, the site started getting thousands of visits a day. I read the new comments every day, and each time I do, I'm deeply moved. Losing my parents before I was forty has been very hard, but that pain has been softened by the gentle and honest voices of the thousands who have spoken to me. I may be an only child, but I'm not alone."
Phillip Toledano's (born in London, 1968) work has appeared in Vanity Fair, New York Times Magazine, New Yorker, Esquire, GQ, Wallpaper, London Times, Independent Magazine, and Le Monde. Days with My Father is on an exhibition tour around the world, including Singapore; Lodz, Poland; Berlin; Cork, Ireland; and Philadelphia.

Norton's Campbell anchors run to NCAA soccer title
Norton alum stands up to pressure
When the Southern New Hampshire University men's soccer team arrived in Evans, Ga., for the NCAA Division 2 semifinals, junior captain Keegan Campbell was feeling the pressure.
"My stomach was in knots, I couldn't eat. My legs felt heavy,'' said Campbell, a Norton High graduate whose adrenaline and talent more than offset his lack of appetite.
With Campbell playing his trademark in-your-face defense, the Penmen knocked off Rockhurst University of Missouri, 2-1, in the semis. On Saturday, SNHU captured the program's second national championship with another 2-1 victory, slipping past Carson-Newman University of Tennessee.
After the final whistle and team celebration, Campbell ran into the stands to hug his father, Kent, and younger brother, Kolin, a varsity player at Bridgewater State University.
That evening, university president Paul LeBlanc took the team out to dinner, where Campbell polished off a juicy steak with mashed potatoes.
"It was the best-tasting meal I ever had, my first as a champion,'' said Campbell.
The victory capped a 23-game unbeaten streak for Southern New Hampshire (22-1-1), which suffered a 1-0 loss in its season opener to LIU Post. And Campbell played an integral role.
Penmen coach Marc Hubbard calls the 5-foot-10, 150-pound left back "a leader who does everything asked of him and then more. He'll carry the water, pick up the cones, and lug the ball bag at practice because that's his nature.
"He has an incredible engine that never stops, and if you had a team with 11 Keegan Campbells in the lineup, you'd win championships all the time.'' SNHU yielded just 11 goals all season, the best mark in the nation.
Campbell first met Hubbard the summer after his junior year at Norton High — where he was a soccer and track star — at the Collegiate Soccer Academy on the campus of Boston University.
"I just loved his demeanor and his focus,'' recalled Hubbard, who was a member of the Academy coaching staff.
"Since coming here, he's improved technically and matured as a player, but his speed and his drive was there from day one, and he's started every game since his freshman season.
"He's so consistent, composed, and versatile you never want to take him off the field,'' added Hubbard, "and he has incredible endurance.''
Shifted to defense by Brian Devaney, his coach with the New England Football Club, who played the position at Boston University, Campbell was urged to check out Southern New Hampshire University by his high school coach, Eric Greene.
"We had a big gap to fill at left back my freshman year of college, and even though I'm a right shot, I got the opportunity there and ran with it,'' added Campbell.
An emotional player, Campbell — one of five soccer-playing siblings whose first names begin with the letter K — said being a team leader and the hardest worker in games and practices were his goals for the season.
And winning a national championship?
"It sunk in when we shot the ball safely downfield as the game ended. My jaw just dropped,'' recalled Campbell, whose voice was still hoarse earlier this week. "After that, I can hardly remember what happened except I got my appetite back — real quick.''
Emerson ends Amherst's streak
Sophomore starting forward Brian Hurley of South Boston (Thayer Academy) and sophomore reserve guard Mike Corcoran of Scituate (BC High) are members of the Emerson College men's basketball team that ended Amherst College's 29-game winning streak, 90-79, last weekend.
The 6-foot-7 Hurley scored 16 points (7 for 12 shooting) and added six rebounds and four assists against the Lord Jeffs (5-1), the defending Division 3 national champions.
"Brian is one of our best players, who is just starting to come into his own, '' said Emerson coach Jim O'Brien, who coached at the Division 1 level at St. Bonaventure, Boston College (his alma mater), and Ohio State.
"He's a well-rounded young man off the court, with interests in music and the arts.''
O'Brien's assistants include his former player at BC, Bill Curley, formerly the coach at Thayer Academy, and Brockton's Rico Cabral, who coached the men's team at Mount Ida College the past 22 years. Corcoran's father, Mike Sr., also played for the O'Brien-coached Eagles.
Emerson has moved from the Great Northeast Athletic Conference to the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference this season.
Meredith Kelly has week to remember
Former Cohasset High standout Meredith Kelly was named NESCAC Women's Basketball Player of the Week after averaging 31.8 points in four games for the Bates women's basketball team. A senior captain, Kelly scored 12 of her 30 points in overtime as the Bobcats won at Colby, 80-75. The 5-8 guard wrapped up the week with a Bates-record 42 points in a 104-83 win over UMaine-Augusta, also setting team records for field goals (18) and points in a half (25). Leading the NESCAC in scoring (24.8 ppg), she also averaged 8.5 rebounds, 3.8 steals, and 2.0 assists per game on the week.
Reaching out to YMCA, South Africa
The Wheaton College of Norton men's and women's indoor track and field teams and undefeated women's basketball team are reaching out, respectively, to the Attleboro YMCA and to children's causes in South Africa.
The track and field squad will support YMCA-sponsored meets at the college's Beard Field House Sunday and Jan. 5. Team members will officiate and measure heights and distances. They will also promote health and wellness to individuals between the ages of 5 and 15. Competitors can register for either session for $5 on the day of the meet, which features 4 p.m. field events and 5 p.m. running events.
The basketball team has donated uniforms to the Orlando Children's Home in Johannesburg and the Happy Feet Youth Project in Langa Township, Cape Town. Wheaton's donation will help both communities participate in sport-related activities.
Marvin Pave can be reached at email@example.com.

An issue[1] has been raised against the recently published SOAP 1.2 specification[2] regarding the reference to a normative binding to the HTTP Extension Framework[3]. The issue relates to the fact that the HTTP Extension Framework specification has no standing within the IETF but as an Experimental RFC. This "experimental RFC" status has specific meaning[4] within the IETF. From RFC2026 section 4.2.3: If (a) the IESG recommends that the document be brought within the IETF and progressed within the IETF context, but the author declines to do so, or (b) the IESG considers that the document proposes something that conflicts with, or is actually inimical to, an established IETF effort, the document may still be published as an Experimental or Informational RFC. In these cases, however, the IESG may insert appropriate "disclaimer" text into the RFC either in or immediately following the "Status of this Memo" section in order to make the circumstances of its publication clear to readers. and indeed the IESG did insert such a disclaimer in [3]: IESG Note This document was originally requested for Proposed Standard status. However, due to mixed reviews during Last Call and within the HTTP working group, it is being published as an Experimental document. This is not necessarily an indication of technical flaws in the document; rather, there is a more general concern about whether this document actually represents community consensus regarding the evolution of HTTP. Additional study and discussion are needed before this can be determined. Note also that when HTTP is used as a substrate for other protocols, it may be necessary or appropriate to use other extension mechanisms in addition to, or instead of, those defined here. This document should therefore not be taken as a blueprint for adding extensions to HTTP, but it defines mechanisms that might be useful in such circumstances. Having this "normative" binding within the SOAP 1.2 specification may be interpreted by some as W3C endorsement of this experimental RFC, encouraging its use. We would like to have your feedback/input as to whether the XMLP Working Group should preserve or remove the reference to the normative HTTP Extension Framework binding in the SOAP 1.2 specification. The XMLP WG is considering several options: (i) removal of all references to HTTP Extension Framework binding (ii) preservation of status quo (iii) relocate the references to the HTTP Extension Framework binding to a non-normative appendix or a separately published document Send formal comments to firstname.lastname@example.com (archive available at [5]).

A Stumbling Otis Original We were young, poor and had done our very best to pay for our own wedding, so the gift was perfect. The gift was a honeymoon. It came wrapped in a Hallmark envelop from my bride's father and step-mom. The card said, "This coupon good for three nights on the water in Laguna Beach". Fucking beautiful, we were tapped out so until then our honeymoon looked like box wine and filthy, bedroom sex. "Filthy, bedroom sex" being a classic double entendre: as our bedroom is typically filthy, and this being our honeymoon….well. Figure it out. We had survived a week of last minute planning, out-of-town visitors, a drug-addled bachelor party (ok that was just me), an intimate "family" only wedding under ...Read More »

Hey Guys,
How's it goin today. Well Peter, Since I havn't heard anything to the contrary, I'm happy to share my experience to help the cause. Again, if one is looking to increase their proficiency of cultivating lucidity withing the dream environment from happen circumstance to be, at will, then one should let go of practicing the techniques associated with MILD's and DILD's and here's why....
...oh, and I do apologize in advance for the length however, in the interest of being accurate and somewhat complete....
Based upon my experience, the reasons why I say that one can't just talk themselves into lucid dreams or use "reality" checking and dream sign recognition as an effective way to cultivate lucidity within the dreamscape, is based upon the idea that these methods are founded upon an inaccurate understanding of the nature of Mind and what I call, The Process.
First, for me, I don't recognize two separate entities of mind that are commonly called the, "Conscious Mind" and the, Subconscious Mind." (If even acknowledged at all actually.) Further, and perhaps the greatest fallacy that MILDs and DILDs are built upon is that a "conscious mind" is able to influence a "subconscious mind." This could not be any further away from actuality.
Over the years of exploration I have come to understand that, to each and every physical body, there is only one Local Mind yet this Mind has separate Aspects and these Aspects have their own Function and Purpose. I found it to be more accurate to state that there is Body or Relative aspect of Mind (conscious mind) and a Meta aspect of Mind (subconscious mind) with no separation or gap between the two aspects.
The Function of the Relative aspect of Mind is solely for navigating a physical, relative environment with reasoning, rationalizing, calculations and discernments and that's it, really. It allows the physical body to be relatively Attentive in any given moment. The primary Purpose of the Relative Mind is to provide the means to decide what is or is not positive or beneficial in any given moment (based upon the parameters or Imprints within Meta Mind) i.e. what cloths to wear based on the weather, what food to eat or how to re-act and what emotions to express based upon any given situation.
As one were to shift their Attention along the frequency of mind from relative Awareness toward non-physical Awareness or what is Ultimate Reality, one would first pass through a sort of veil or boundary. This boundary, commonly called the Critical Faculty, gives definition of the two aspects of mind and actually protects who you are (in any given moment and it is this protection 'mechanism' that prevents your relative thoughts and experiences to arbitrarily alter the imprints within Meta Mind Awareness. It is in fact the Critical Faculty that is responsible for providing you your personality.
When one were to bypass this boundary, one would find themselves within the Meta aspect of Mind. Within this space of Awareness, is everything that an individual Is in any given moment - how one walks, how one talks, how one feels, what one eats, how the body grows and so on, and so on, and so on…. the contents of ones personality. The purpose of the Meta Mind is to give the 'illusion' of Individuality. It's sole Function is to bring into Physical Realization that which your Relative Mind has decided to experience. In fact, I would tell you that all that one has' all that one experiences; all of one's relationships; pleasant or unpleasant, is all 'constructed' and provided by one's own Meta aspect of Mind. (Consider the implications of this last statement!)
Here, there is no reason, no rationale, no calculations, no discernments, no judgments or right or wrong, good or bad etc. Here it is strictly literal.
Beyond the Meta aspect of Mind there is yet another veil that one is able to pass through into what is Transpersonal Awareness within Ultimate Reality, which is the Mind of your Spiritual Aspect but that's another story.
Ok, so now back to the body. The Brain, in concert with the Body simply a receiver that translates Mind and thus, by it self is unable to tell the difference between a relative physical action or experience and a Mind experience. An experiment with sexual arousal will demonstrate this point. One merely need to imagine oneself in a sexual situation and, the brain, not knowing the difference, will translate this Mind activity (thought and imagination) and your body will express it. This is part of the nature of the Body/Mind Relationship and is the crux of why MILDs and DILDs are ineffective – because without the faculty Attention, your brain cannot tell the difference between a physical experience and a dream experience. During the sleep process, it is natural to simply let go of ones Attention. If the faculty of Attention is not held onto, at best, you will only be able to recall your dreamscapes experiences After the fact.
Yes, one can increase the likelihood of experiencing lucid dreams via intention associated with MILD and DILD techniques however, in my view, that's about it. For me, it's all about strengthening and holding onto the Faculty of Attention with a WILD technique. I'll post mine over in the "Techniques" section.
Reality Checks and Dream Signs
For general lucid chat - ask questions, share advice, set lucid dream challenges and explore the lucid realm together.

Re: Reality Checks and Dream Signs
great post and good start so I hope you have more to follow. I agree and its profound that our personality is a simulation in a virtual reality world. Its all a method to interact with where we are are here and now. No debate on the thread of you post. I find reality checks are not consistant for me and that working on a WILD is the best way. There are many clues on going to sleep or even relaxing that make it easier to slip into a LD with a WILD.
I have just got a ZEO sleep monitor and its becoming a valuable tool, I can relax for a nap or on going to bed and when I get on the edge of what I call the void or feel the change in my mind it shows a REM state. This is what I have always suspected and now can confirm it ( if tool is accurate), these REM states can occur at the beginning of the night or at anytime I get to relax.
I feel there are many parts to our mind but it is all our mind and we are not capable of understanding at that moment. Its like space is expanding and we cant grasp what it is expanding into, so its that we are not capable of understanding until we learn more and change our viewpoint.

Re: Reality Checks and Dream Signs
Hello - I love a thought-provoking discussion. This is a good one. Really interesting stuff. TTR - I agree with a lot that you have stated. Some of it I will do some thinking about. Keep it coming -
Re: Reality Checks and Dream Signs
Thanks Peter, Thanks Thomas. I appreciate that. And for your viewing pleasure, I did post (a rather long one) the methodology and some techniques I used. Enjoy

Re: Reality Checks and Dream Signs
I think with reality checks it's best to look at your dreams and focus on the reccuring themes. For example, I can check clocks or light switches all I want in waking reality, but I can't remember the last time I saw either one in a dream so it doesn't help me much. But I am often driving a vehicle in a dream so everytime I get in the car and also while driving I do reality checks. Good chance I'll be in dream. I went lucid after driving a truck and realizing I was dreaming. Some of the dream signs for me are getting frustrating because things keep malfunctioning (this is a common one) or I can't find something or something happens that seems strange. These things happen in waking life too, so I ask myself if I am dreaming. Just asking yourself during a dream is often enough to trigger lucidity. It has worked for me. Good luck.

I like this book because it has a lot of competing. It gives me a really good picture in my mind about them thinking of ways to get more money like giving out snacks with the lemonade. The lemonade war really made me want to read the next book in the series, The Lemonade Crime. I think the lesson in this book is that sometimes competing can bring out the worst in you.
I recommend this book to people who like competing AND like making lemonade on hot summer days. Even if you don't like competing I bet you will still LOVE IT!!!!!

Story highlights
- School leaders say closing schools is a "no-win" situation
- It can lead to angry parents, hungry kids and academic trouble
- Ohio superintendent: "I have a plea with Mother Nature to ease up a little bit"
(CNN)The horror stories seem to stack up every winter: Students sliding and stomping through knee-deep snow on their walks to school, trapped inside school buses or nestling in for a surprise slumber party in the school gym.
This week, schools across the Northeast shut down in preparation for a "potentially historic" blizzard. Some even tried to have some fun with it, including those at the Moses Brown School in Providence, Rhode Island. They posted a snow day announcement that parodied the "Frozen" hit "Let It Go."
Still, closing school is a tough call, said school superintendents from across the country. The decision often requires hours of preparation and discussion among administrators, local officials, road crews and meteorologists. Most school leaders said they take a better-safe-than-sorry approach, but it can be hard to do as the number of days off climbs.
"We lose a lot of sleep over it," said Gregory Hutchings, superintendent of Shaker Heights schools in Ohio.
So why wouldn't schools call off classes when weather seems like it could be dangerous? Here are a few reasons.
1. Forecasts can be wrong.
With every winter storm threat, superintendents wake in the wee hours to consider the latest weather maps or drive their local roads. One February day last year, Stratford, Connecticut, schools Superintendent Janet Robinson was on a forecasting conference call at 4:15 a.m. Within 30 minutes, and with the help of the schools' facilities manager, she decided to cancel classes for the sixth time that year.
But the choice isn't always that easy. After all, weather forecasts aren't guarantees.
"There's no snow yet at 4 o'clock, it's forecast to come in, and you decide to cancel -- and then it doesn't come," Robinson said. "We joke that no matter what we say, someone is going to disagree with it."
Of course, there are worse ways to be wrong, she said: Watching a snowstorm roll in once you've brought children to school, calling buses back while kids shiver at their bus stops or sending young drivers out on dangerously slick roads.
2. Parents hate snow days, too.
When the windchill hit 35 degrees below zero last year, the decision was easy for Hutchings: School was canceled.
To his surprise, "I still received phone calls and e-mails from parents," he said. "It's a no-win situation."
As a father of young children, he can commiserate. He understands parents' concerns about child care and time off from work. Parents really hate it when he spoils vacation by adding makeup days to the end of the school year, he said.
But his decisions are based on what's safest for all students and staff members, he said.
In January 2014, many schools around Atlanta remained open for a few hours before snow began to fall. When they released early, some students ended up stuck on icy, gridlocked roads or stranded at school overnight.
Clayton County schools -- a district just outside Atlanta with about 52,000 students and 6,200 faculty and staff -- closed before the snow arrived and initially heard some negative responses from parents, said Vicki Gavalas, the district's director of communications.
Within a few hours, the tone changed.
The superintendent's office received more than 100 thank-you messages from parents and community members, she said, and a batch of handwritten letters from kindergartners who wrote, "You made the right decision" and "Thank you for keeping my family safe."
"The e-mails we got in support were so gratifying and affirming," Gavalas said. "Sometimes, people are very quick to criticize and not as quick to praise."
3. Closures can be costly.
Wild weather almost always means extra costs for schools, from storm cleanup to snow removal to staff overtime. But school closures can hurt the budget in deeper ways, especially if the days off begin to pile up.
"We do have an obligation to the taxpayer that we are good stewards, financially," Gavalas said.
Day-to-day school attendance won't typically affect a school's finances, said Dick Flanary, former deputy executive director for programs and services for the National Association of Secondary School Principals. But it can lead to cuts if test scores sink, if students or teachers' miss a chance to shine or if schools can't fulfill a grant obligation based on instructional time.
"There's a very competitive environment for grant money, foundation money, because of this economy," Flanary said. "It could jeopardize a potential funding source."
4. Students could go hungry.
Or be left alone. Or get into trouble. Educators know that school might be the only place where some students eat a healthy meal or experience a safe, supervised, warm environment.
"You think about those kids, that this is the only wholesome meal those children get during the day," said Flanary, who was a middle school principal in Virginia for 12 years. "When they miss that, what's the result?"
But if the roads aren't safe, the power is out or a natural disaster has damaged the building, educators say, school isn't a safe place to be, either.
5. Closing school means less time to learn.
It's simple, educators said: If students are snowed out of school, they won't learn as much. Educators said it's especially tough on students gearing up for standardized tests or Advanced Placement exams and for new teachers who haven't mastered the art of the strong comeback.
"What concerns us most is the lack of continuity in the kids' education," said Robinson, the Connecticut superintendent. "There's something about the energy of being in school every day that you miss."
A snow day here or there won't hurt student learning, said Joshua Goodman, an assistant professor of public policy at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. He recently studied eight years of school closures in Massachusetts and found that snow days caused no harm. Most teachers there understood how to adjust their lesson plans and prioritize must-learn material, he said.
What did affect academic achievement, he found, were lousy weather days when schools remained open. On those days, higher numbers of students missed class, perhaps because of parental discretion or transportation issues, and entire classes suffered as teachers moved some students on and caught other students up.
But in Massachusetts, where snow days are no surprise, it was rare for schools to close for several days at a time, Goodman said. The results might be different in states that rarely encounter extreme weather or for schools that face a major, one-time disruption.
"The fact that snow days are not harmful is because schools and teachers know how to deal with them," Goodman said.
Not all learning is lost when school is out, though. Educators across the country said they're urging students to check out Khan Academy and other online learning tools. Some said teachers now assign homework in advance so students can stay on task. Last year, some school districts experimented with virtual school days taught at home through school-provided laptops and tablets.
Hutchings, the Shaker Heights, Ohio, superintendent, said some in his district assign "blizzard bags" of schoolwork for students to dip into whenever they're out of class, and it is considering online programs that would allow students to interact with teachers from home -- at least, between snowball fights and trips down the sledding hill.
"The first couple (snow days) are OK," Hutchings said. "When you get into five, six, enough is enough. I have a plea with Mother Nature to ease up a little bit."

If you haven't asked a sexual partner about STI testing, what is/was the main reason why?
Primary tabs
The one partner I didn't ask
I haven't asked because I was
This is also the reason that

We were both virgins, so I wasn't worried about it.
Same here. He was also my
I've asked.
I had been experiencing a lot of pain during sex suddenly. And he was my first and only partner at the time. he had told me that an ex girlfriend of his had called him 2 yrs prior saying she had HPV...and he never got tested. I'll be honest. I did my research, the signs were pointing more towards Gonorrhea. His personality had changed after returning from a trip to New Orleans. So honestly at the time, I wasn't really surprised by the idea that he could have cheated. So I asked him if he was experiencing some strange symptoms, he said no. Anyway I asked my doctor to run a couple extra tests during my yearly exam, and she did! It was a horrific waiting game...but I turned out clean...long story short he had cheated on me...and don't ever be afraid to ask your partner. If they care enough about you they'll be upfront with you. I'll give him props. he was upfront...too little too late...oh and don't be stupid.
I thought that my partner had
I HAVE asked all my partners about STI testing.
And the listed fears are not necessarily unfounded, at least in terms of knee-jerk reactions. I've actually been really surprised at how resistant some of my partners have been to safer-sex practices like STI testing and condom use (especially since I'm male and my partners are female, meaning pregnancy is a risk from penis-in-vagina intercourse, which would have a much bigger impact on her than on me). A couple of times, women I've dated have responded to my insistence on condom use and (mutual) STI testing as a necessary step toward any condom-free penetrative sex as an 'accusation' that they're "dirty" or "sluts" (despite the fact that I do not see anything wrong with a woman liking and seeking [no-glossary]out[/no-glossary] sex, having multiple concurrent sex partners - as long as she's being safe, and the same goes for men - or having contracted an STI).
That said, the potential for negative reactions or an awkward conversation are not good reasons to avoid discussing STI testing and actually getting regularly tested for STIs. I haven't had anyone break up with me over a discussion of STI testing; I've found that pointing out that one might have an STI and not even know about it (through no fault of one's own, if a previous partner lied or was similarly unaware of hir STI status, for example) is a good way to explain to a partner who reacts negatively to a discussion of STIs that I'm not blaming her or accusing her of anything. Contextualizing the discussion as concern for mutual safety (and reiterating that one trusts one's partner, but not necessarily all of one's partner's previous sex partners) can be a good tactic. Even if a partner does react badly, one or two upset, awkward conversations are a small price to pay for peace of mind and health.
Also, one can point a partner to Scarleteen if one needs a little professional backup in relating why the conversation is not an accusation and why STI testing is a good, safer-sex practice.
On an unrelated note, the glossary pop-up for "pregnancy" contains a typo.
Good for you!
Some of the reactions you described make me rather sad, but that aside, thank you for being so responsible, respectful and informed.
Because I don't actually care
Really, that sounds bad but their health choices are actually not my business. Since I would NEVER have sex without protection, and since someone having an STI would not necessarily change the likelihood that I would be with them, then it is kind of nosy to ask. Similarly, I think that it is rude to ask how many partners someone has had and if someone asked me that, I would end the relationship. It would imply either that they are judging how "slutty" i am (the answer is - very) or that they are judging whether they can have unprotected sex with me (the answer is - no)
I never asked one previous
I never asked one previous partner, because I was afraid he would then ask me, and it made it angry to be reminded that I had previous partners. Double standards much?
i was drunk. he was drunk. we
i was drunk. he was drunk. we weren't thinking straight about our risks. i don't recommend this. horrible sex. horrible feeling afterwards. reckless in all manners.
There have been partners I
There have been partners I haven't asked because they were one-nighters, so using a condom was a given.
I was inexperienced with
Getting a false answer
My reason is b/c ppl will tell you that they dnt have STD/STIs but either its a lie or they dnt really know if they do or dnt. They just wanna believe that they dnt.
New Reason
There's no need, we were both each other's first.
I don't really know how
I don't really know how to bring it up. I'm not really confidant enough to bring it up, especially when it is with a good friend. Also, I definitely wouldn't know what to do it they *did* have an STI. I feel like we are taught about what to do if we get a symptom and told to use a condom, but what do you do if someone that you really want to have sex with does have an STI? I would assume that they would understand that situation a lot better (and should tell you), but that puts you in a situation of heavy reliance on your partner.
Wewere both virgins in all senses...
I haven't talked with my partner about it (other than a quick herpes check; we're both positive for oral) because he hasn't had any other sexual partners. We were each other's firsts, and he hadn't even French kissed anyone before we started going out. As far as I know that makes our chances of having some terrible STD slim to none.
Virgins? maybe....
I'm not saying that this is your situation, but my partner also told me he was a virgin. Turns out he said that just b/c that was what he thought I wanted to hear. I never asked about STDs b/c I didn't think it was an issue. Maybe I should have.
My boyfriend and I are in a
My boyfriend and I are in a long distance relationship and haven't had any sexual activity with risks. I probably will ask when he visits however.

Snapshot: The Home & Co 4-slice Stainless Steel Pattern Toaster KST012AF is a 4-slice toaster with a painted-metal + stainless-steel finish. But is it the best thing since sliced bread?
Unlock all of Consumer from just $12 a month
Overall score is made up of:
Toasting performance (70%): As a toaster heats up it produces darker toast, so we wanted to check the consistency of colour from run to run. To do this we toasted slices of fresh white bread over 4 runs in quick succession. We also assessed the evenness of browning across each slice. Next we checked how well the toasters dealt with a single slice, as well as bread straight from the freezer. Where a toaster has a Burgen score, we also assessed how well the toaster cooked Burgen bread.
Ease of use (30%): We assessed how easy the controls were to use, whether the toasters were easy to clean or had dirt traps, and whether the crumb tray was easy to remove and empty.
We also measured the temperature of the sides of the toasters — if these get higher than 68°C they could burn you. (None of the models in this test were higher than 68°C but the metal around the slots can still get very hot.)

A vacation home in Kailua, for everyday
The way real estate agent Scott Carvill sees it, there are large luxury homes available in Kailua but few that fit the "modest sized luxury" bill. For a small family or executive couple looking for a moderately sized home, there aren't too many luxury turnkey options out there.
Which is why he thinks 141 Mokumanu Drive is well placed in this market.
If you ask us, we think it will go fast because of the home's resort like-feel. Literally, the moment you step out of your car and onto the home's manicured lawn you feel like you've been whisked away to a 5-star hotel. Between perfectly appointed outdoor seating areas and beautiful, thoughtful landscaping choices, the grounds that surround this three bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home truly feel like those you might find at a posh resort. Add to the luxury a great location – it's just a short stroll to a prime part of Lanikai Beach.
Like realtor Carvill says, the home itself isn't huge. At 1,668 square feet, it's more modest in size than some of its bulkier neighbors. Yet with an open floor plan, high ceilings and tons of natural light throughout, the whole home feels far larger than it actually is.
Entirely redone in 2011, you'd never know 141 Mokumanu's bones date back to the seventies. A perfect example of this is the sleek, open kitchen with brand-name appliances, warm wood cabinets and a seriously sexy granite counter top. There's absolutely nothing retro about this kitchen.
Flanking the kitchen is a formal dining room and a sun-soaked living space. With two-story vaulted ceilings that boast both skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows, the first floor of this home is a sun worshiper's paradise.
Head upstairs and check out the home's bonus loft. The perfect spot for a home office or even a guest bedroom, the loft is complete with its own bathroom. Also upstairs are two plush bedrooms, including the swanky master—just in case you need a retreat from your retreat.

Peter Murphy - 'Stripped'
Yerberia Cultura
613 S 17th St
McAllen, TX, 78503
Doors 8:00 PM (event ends at 11:59 PM)
A rare opportunity to see Peter Murphy in an intimate setting performing acoustic versions of his music from throughout his illustrious career.
* * * * *
In his four decades of service in the post-punk culture wars, PETER MURPHY has confounded fans, critics, even himself. As the mainman of the acclaimed outfit Bauhaus, he helped usher in ground breaking opaque moods and atmospheres into the post-punk landscape. When the band broke up for the first time in 1983, the singer set off on a solo career that found him challenging his audiences in numerous ways. When the music press tried to tag him as "the new David Bowie," he'd close his shows with a vamping of the Thin White Duke's disco classic "Stay," only to switch into a cover of Bauhaus' funky punch-up "Kick In The Eye," followed by a cover of Pere Ubu's "Final Solution," which ended with a burly roadie physically picking up the singer and putting him in an airplane spin. When fans and critics tried to paint him exclusively as "the King of the Goths," his response was to encore with Prince's venerable "Purple Rain." When the singer began to explore more melodic concerns to distance himself from the gothic-rock culture he helped create, he accessed both new audiences and successful records.
"People remember those things," the singer says, laughing at memories of his onstage audacity. "They don't remember some digital file they downloaded from the Internet that gets lost among the other 3,000 ones they already have."
It's doubtful Peter Murphy will be assigned a similar fate. He's aligned himself with Nettwerk Records to release NINTH, his first solo album in seven years and the first since the permanent dissolution of Bauhaus in 2009. Produced by David Baron, Ninth is a culmination of where the singer has been and where he is now, all imbued with a confidence that has been Murphy's stock in trade. While countless
performers and industry types bemoan the demeaning of music in current download culture, Murphy's only concern is continuing to connect with his audience with unparalleled honesty.
"I think younger audiences are just as aware that they don't have any identity in the music they follow," he says, commenting from a place of aesthetic analysis than any kind of bitterness. "Once they start listening to older music or music that isn't generically issued, they start to hold onto things more. That's why it's more important for people like myself to connect with an audience. I'm not talking about Facebook—I'm talking about a live show. People can really start to form a congealed idea in their relationship with an artist. That kind of connection is missing in the digital world: You experience things more in a tangible realm than in a virtual existence. I don't deny or get anxious about being labeled; I can't really describe what I do, but it does have an outside effect on an audience. But I mustn't get stuck holding onto that, because you mustn't rest on your laurels."
Murphy is hardly the poster child for artistic inertia. His 2004 solo album, Unshattered, was doomed not by any artistic shortcomings, but by the Artful label closing its doors just as the record was coming out. The following year, he once again teamed up with his colleagues in Bauhaus for a co-headlining tour with Nine Inch Nails, when it was decided that they would reconvene in a recording studio to create new music. After a tumultuous 18 days in an Ojai, California studio in 2006, the band came out with Go Away White, a record displaying both the personal chemistry, as well as the incendiary aspects of the group dynamic.
"It was typically Bauhaus," says Murphy, who actively embraced the high tensions within the band. "The tension [on that album] is palpable, isn't it? I loved it. People hear about that record retrospectively. Danny [Ash, Bauhaus guitarist] would say, 'We couldn't stand to be in the same room together.' But that's not my experience. I was always the biggest advocate for that band. We were warming up when it ended. I was still raring to go to complete that album. I was putting my solo career on hold to advocate for Bauhaus. We split up, I reworked my life—I'm Peter Murphy in or out of Bauhaus, so it's not too difficult. I've got a band of my own, but I didn't have an idea where it's going to go."
Unbeknownst to him, Murphy's career arc would take a different turn. In 2005, he met singer/songwriter Sarah Fimm, the support act for his tour that year. He did some recording with the electronics-based artist in upstate New York, with the sessions being helmed by producer David Baron. In Baron, Murphy found not only a kindred spirit, but also a person with great jurisprudence with regards to modern technology and how it should be considered within an artist's work. "I call David an errant genius," Murphy says about his collaborator. "He's like my brother: very perceptive, very musical. So musical you can't quantify it. He allowed the music and the ideas to speak for themselves." Considering the breadth of his career, conventional wisdom would question why Murphy would need a producer to see his vision through in the first place. But the singer is in service to his songs—not his ego. "I don't want to be hands- on," he says. "It's distracting for me. I'm hands-on in terms of exchanges, discussions and various takes. David is superior in that he is super-musical and totally respects the artist. He doesn't fall for overproduction. He is only concerned with the songs' needs."
Probably the most apparent characteristic of Ninth is the level of intimacy Baron and engineer John Siket captured. The proceedings carry the feeling of a tight, seasoned band—in this case, guitarists Mark Gemini Thwaite and John Andrews, bassist Jeff Schartoff and drummer Nick Lucero—facing each other in a small studio, playing together. There's a sophisticated energy and psychic urgency to tracks like "Seesaw Sway," "Slowdown" and "Memory Go." Equally exciting are moments like "Velocity Bird," where Murphy gets his swagger on in the same wild kingdom where Iggy Pop's "streetwalking cheetah" prowled; the rocking "Peace To Each," where the singer ramps up his sinister quotient a few notches; the slow grooving head-nodder "Uneven & Brittle," and the brooding, atmospheric noir of "Secret Silk
Society." On the convex, Ninth also features moments of warm poignancy, like the lover-comforting "Never Fall Out" and the melancholy closing track, "Crème de la Crème."
But it's the album's first single, "I Spit Roses," that reconciles Murphy's melodic sophistication with his resignation toward the fate of Bauhaus. Teeming with nautical metaphors of a ship's crew (i.e., the other three members of Bauhaus) and a dip into Lewis Carroll territory ("Shick-shack, left you in shock/shed poison with a lover's lock"), the song was inspired after Murphy spent a long day in the studio during the making of Go Away White. As the other members were working on an arrangement, Murphy went home, having put in a full session. He suspected that his decision would cause more schism when he returned to the studio the next day. "When I went in the next day, I knew there was going to be some kind of confrontation about my leaving the previous night," Murphy recalls. "I was sitting near a rose garden, talking on the phone to a friend of mine about the situation. She told me not to worry, to take a rose there as a friendly gesture. Instead, I took three or four and put them in my mouth.
"As I walked in, David [J], Kevin [Haskins] and Danny were in conference about the band," he continues. "I thought, 'Oh dear, here we go...' The moment anyone speaks to me, my response is to spit roses in their face—and that's what happened. Daniel said, 'Peter we need to talk about...' Pwah! 'That's my answer.' It caused them to think, 'Look at him, he's crazy!' And I responded, 'Look, it's roses, don't you get it? C'mon, let's just work.'"
Dealing with short-fused tempers (and botanical snacks) are part of his artist mythology, but it cannot be denied that much of Murphy's artistic visions have been original and seminal. Fortunately, he's not interested in trading on his significant accomplishments. While Ninth marks another chapter in his artistic (and thereby personal) evolution, the album exists on a plane of its own. Ninth isn't a "reinvention," "return to form," or any of the buzzword nomenclature used to herald an album's release date. For three decades, Peter Murphy introduced new ways of thinking in the rubric of rock music. He'll be the first to tell you the work is its own reward and that it's acceptable if the world at large still hasn't caught up with him. Well, maybe...
"Although people tell me I'm famous, I don't feel like it," he resigns. "Right now, it's quite nice: I feel like I'm 24 with this record and I think a lot of people are going to get to know my music. I have a very hardcore audience who've been with me for a long time, but I do have a great urge to broaden it."
He stops to laugh. "I'd like to play theaters; I'm more able to be lowered from the rafters on a chain than in a club!"

Rousey survives major shock as Machida edges Hendo
Ronda Rousey survived a submission scare of Vitor Belfort v Jon Jones proportions to deliver the expected armbar finish against Liz Carmouche in an explosive UFC 157 main event on Saturday.
Back at UFC 152 Belfort - a major underdog - came agonisingly close to springing a shock on Jones. At the Honda Center it was Carmouche threatening to upset the odds, bringing the crowd to their feet as Rousey twisted her neck to avoid a potentially career-damaging defeat.
Within 30 seconds the Olympic judo bronze medallist had taken her rival to the mat, but Carmouche slipped to her back as Rousey returned to her feet, the underdog searching for a nasty rear naked choke that threatened the major upset.
Patience was key for the champion, who eventually threw her foe off before returning to a headlock, pounding away at the forehead of Carmouche. That was the lead-up to Rousey setting up her infamous armbar, and she rolled expertly to put Carmouche in trouble, earning the tap at 4.49 of a memorable round.
In the co-main event, Lyoto Machida was a clear winner over Dan Henderson, despite the judges rendering only a split 29-28 28-29 29-28 decision in the Brazilian's favour. Machida, hoping to earn another light-heavyweight title shot, owned and even embarrassed Henderson at times on his feet, only suffering adversity when taken down in the final round.
Coming in at a breezy 202lbs, Machida clearly favoured his speed over Henderson, and it did indeed prove a key factor. Hendo swung the big H-bomb but only once did it find its target, while Machida countered expertly and landed heavy kicks and knees to the body of his rival.
Typical of a Machida fight there were plenty of non-action periods, but he used those eerie silences to set traps, landing a front kick and causing bruising around the veteran's right eye. Henderson did find a takedown in the third but did little to capitalise, and when Machida returned to his feet he landed another front kick and roundhouse kick to the head in a clear victory.
"I was very surprised [it was a split decision], he took me down in the third but I did my work, I completely dominated the first and second round," Machida said.
Urijah Faber showed his undoubted class at bantamweight by submitting the tricky Ivan Menjivar at 4.34 of round one with a standing rear naked choke. Faber had been coming off a lop-sided loss to interim title holder Renan Barao, but showed he remains a contender at 135lbs.
Menjivar actually made the initial impression with a slick hip toss but Faber immediately turned his man to move to side control. After a series of elbows from inside Menjivar's guard, he eventually moved to the back as Menjivar rose to his feet, sinking in the choke before raising his arm in victory while still in mid-air.
The main card opened with something of a surprise in the welterweight division as Robbie Lawler delivered a first-round TKO stoppage of Josh Koscheck. Lawler had lost three of his last four ahead of his UFC return, but by dropping to 170lbs he seemed reinvigorated as he pounded Koscheck out at 3.57 of the first.
Given the events of the week leading up to Saturday's event - with welterweight benchmark-setter Jon Fitch shockingly cut from the organisation, Koscheck may also now fear he is in trouble. The American's last outing saw a dull decision loss to Johny Hendricks, and he did little other then smother Lawler before the southpaw sprawled a takedown attempt and punished him with ground-and-pound for the victory.

Komm Morgen wieder: savoury pancake rolls that make you want more
The recipe is adapted from the above cookbook - I've added some cheese and fresh herbs, and given them a quick moment in the oven. There's not much that isn't improved with addition of some cheese and herbs, don't you think?
Savoury Pancake Rolls
(Täidetud pannkoogid 'Tule homme jälle')
Serves 2
3 eggs
100 ml plain flour
300 ml milk
a pinch of salt
1 Tbsp oil
1 medium onion, chopped
450 grams minced meat
100 ml beef stock
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
salt, black pepper
50 grams greated cheese
Prepare thin crepe-style pancakes (use the recipe above or your favourite crepe recipe, omitting sugar). Whisk eggs until broken, stir in salt and milk, then add the flour. Fry thin crepe-style pancakes (2 per person).
To prepare the filling, saute the onion in oil until golden on a medium heat, then add minced meat and brown. Add the stock and simmer, until the liquid has more or less evaporated again (it makes for a moister filling). Season, add the parsley.
Place a tablespoonful or two of filling at the centre of each pancake, and wrap the edges over the filling, so you end up with a roll (or roll's look-a-like). Place in a oven-proof dish, sprinkle with cheese and bake at 200C oven for 5-7 minutes until the cheese has melted.
Serve with a fresh salad and a sprinkling of herbs.
NB! Can be made ahead. Keep in the fridge. Before serving, heat in a 200C oven for about 15 minutes, adding the cheese after 10 minutes.

Oo jaa, meie peres tuntakse neid senini kui "kommorgenviidereid" (korrektne oleks vist komm morgen wieder). Eriti head on rosina-kohupiimatäidisega.
Pannkoogid ees ja pannkoogid taga. Mul on kuri tunne, et lähemal ajal on karta suuremat küpsetamist. :P

Pille, these pancakes reminded me of my mum's. In Brazil savoury pancakes are very popular and they are often quite thin - at least at my mum's . ;o ) You inspired me.

This is very different from the crepes bretonnes I am used to, closer to canelloni in fact. Very interesting, and I love the name!

I was pretty surprised to find one of your posts starting with the German words "Komm morgen wieder"! But reading the background story, I can totally relate to it as I love pancakes and crepes in every possible variation. And our friends do, too - they served us an incredible yummy crepe-spinach-cake last weekend, now I'm dying to get my hands on the recipe... ;)

Oravake - vaatasin internetist järgi, tõesti ongi selline pannkoogiroog "komm morgen wieder" olemas:) Olen pimeduses elanud ilmselt;)
Valentina - I think savoury pancakes will be very popular in our household from now on, too :)
Gracianne - crepe bretonnes!? Could you tell me more about these, please? And yes, the name is fun - seems that there is a German name for such a dish 'komm morgen wieder ' and we've just translated it into Estonian.
Nicky - well, it didn't have a German title to start with, but as I learnt this is how these pancakes are (also) known in Estonia & Latvia, I changed the title:) Crepe spinach cake sounds delicious - hope you'll get your hands on the recipe and will blog about it soon!!

Ma arvasin koguaeg et kyllap oli mu L2ti vanavanaema selle nime v2lja m6elnud. T2itsa nalja p2rast googeldasin ja tuli v2lja et ongi olemas sellise nimega retsept! Aga tema tegi nii et praadis yhelt pool ime6hukese pannkoogi. Keeras taldriku peale kypsemata pool all, liha sisse ja keeras ymbrikuks v6i pakikeseks ja pannile tagasi. Supi k6rvale, no imehead olid.

I grew up on these as our Thanksgiving meal. I prefer it to the traditional American Thanksgiving spread. They are alot of work but so much worth it. I found it sacriligious that you've added herbs and cheese. That totally takes away from what the dish is meant to be.

I grew up with Komm Morgen Wieder for Christmas breakfast. My German gandmother made them. Ours are a cheese filled crepe though, served with fruit syrup or sour cream mixed with granulated sugar.

Pille, I tried this recipe last night in order to make pankoogid for a church potluck, and they were a huge hit with everyone. Your recipe is the easiest and tastiest one I've seen so far, and brings back good memories of eating pankoogid in Tartu.

- Pille said...
Food coma - no näed, said ka targemaks :D
Anonymous - interesting to hear that you've adopted these as your Thanksgiving meal. I thought the turkey & the trimmings was a must?
Elle - quark-filling? Yummy!!
Nico, so thrilled to hear that!!

Dear Pille,
My mother told me that komm morgen wieder, or 'nac rita atkal' in Latvian meant come back tomorrow because you used up leftovers from the night before. The way she always made it is very similar to yours, but the pancakes are folded into square packets.
If you are interested, here is a link to the Latvian version:
Thank you for your recipe :o)))

The Cedar Mountain overlook lies within the Cedar Mountain Recreation Area, a series of graded roads and ATV tracks around and up the flanks of Cedar Mountain. The road to the overlook is unpaved but graded. The overlook provides a fantastic view of the San Rafael Swell and the canyons carving into the visible bulge in the earth's crust. At 7000+ feet, the overlook and picnic areas offer a cooler refuge from the heat of the desert below. The picnic tables are cleverly scattered among huge boulders that offer shade and privacy.

Koreatown may not have a proper golf course, but that doesn't mean K-town residents have to leave the neighborhood to practice their swing. The Aroma Golf Range is a full-service, 150-yard enclosed driving range in the heart of the district on Wilshire Boulevard. The range features four stories from which to whack balls, with 15 teeing stations on each floor. The highest floors are the cheapest, but all are affordable, ranging from 8 cents to 10 cents per golf ball, $12 for a bucket of 111 balls or, for the truly devoted, $18 for 180. A fully automated system returns balls hit down-range through pneumatic tubes and mechanically tees up a new ball for you each time one is hit from your station. Whether you're looking to perfect your drive or need an idea for a cheap date, Aroma Golf Range makes for a fun outing. —Chris Walker

The same folks who decided that people should be able to ride a Ferris wheel where they fish have come up with, arguably, an even better combination. The Santa Monica Pier offers ROGA — running plus yoga — workouts on Saturday mornings for free at various times throughout the spring, summer and fall. Come at 8 a.m. to warm up with a two- or five-mile run and stay for yoga at 9 a.m. Yoga is led by a rotating list of Santa Monica's best yoga instructors. Friendly volunteers will hold onto your yoga mat and cheer you on while you run, then offer you refreshments from sponsors such as Clif Bar or Honest Tea when you need a boost of energy. Check the Santa Monica Pier website, sign up for the email list or "like" the Facebook page to make sure you're in the know. It's always nice to wake up to the waves, but having your workout done before brunch is another kind of heaven. —Eve Weston
200 Santa Monica Pier, Suite A, Santa Monica, 90401. (310) 458-8901, santamonicapier.org/roga.
A yoga studio for the real Eastside was embraced almost as the second coming. Finally, yoga for the people. And that's almost what Leah Gallegos and Lauren Quan-Madrid call their new space: People's Yoga. Bringing the chi to Chicanos means "Yoga y Luz" classes in Spanish, prenatal yoga, yoga for "baby 'n' me" and family yoga sessions, Gallegos says. For two years the pair traveled around the Eastside and other underserved neighborhoods to bring the practice to the working-class masses. Then, in June, $10,000 — raised in just 60 days with a crowd-funding campaign — allowed them to open the doors of a dedicated studio. So, uh, do Mexican-Americans do the downward dog? "We're seeing new people every day," Gallegos says. "It's going really good." —Dennis Romero

An entertainment producer and mother of three, Antonia King was startled to realize that L.A. had no yoga studios for children. So in 2012, she launched Zooga Yoga, a studio offering yoga classes to kids of all ages, from babies to teenagers. Naturally, the younger ones are not adept at concentration or mindfulness, so the instructors offer something they call "playful yoga," which involves a lot of motion and activity. Before you know it, your toddler will be showing you how to do tree pose and downward dog. Zooga has been so successful that King plans to expand, with two new storefronts opening soon. —Gene Maddaus

Joe Wolf, a massage therapist and nursing student by day, fills the Hollywood Wilshire YMCA's spin studio Tuesday through Thursday evenings with a crowd ready for a fast, fun and absolutely grueling workout. When he's not making the rounds to personally pump up participants, he seems to channel Andre the Giant's Dread Pirate Roberts from his bike, tracing his finger around the room and challenging the class to "Add more!" in a deep bellow (more resistance, that is). The workout is simple, no gimmicks and little chatter, just steady climbing or quick pedaling to an eclectic playlist — epic heartland rock, swampy industrial trip-hop, classic soul and funk, Top 40 R&B and electro-pop. Even gritty grunge ballads. Whether it's Joan Jett's "Bad Reputation" or Journey's "Don't Stop Believing," the right song always hits the speakers just as the crowd is wilting, and the hour simply speeds by. —Jessica Langlois

Located in downtown's Arts District, just off the Sixth Street Bridge, L.A. Boulders has become a top destination for bouldering — otherwise known as rock-climbing without ropes. The gym opened in January in a vast warehouse next door to a shooting range in the up-and-coming neighborhood. Inside are three massive walls — "the Barrel," "the Alcove" and "the Wave Wall" — which together offer more "problems" to solve than any other gym in the city. L.A. Boulders also has weights and exercise machines, a good enough assortment that some customers use it as their primary gym. Business is so brisk that the owners expect to open locations in Culver City, Pasadena and Hollywood next year. —Gene Maddaus

Yes, you are permitted to run on Ballona Creek Bike Path, which stretches from Syd Kronenthal Park in Culver City all the way to Playa del Rey Beach. There will be cyclists whizzing past you, homeless dudes slouched over on the shoulder, and occasional taggers beautifying bridge underpasses. But this path is a Los Angeles urban wonder, an opportunity to escape the traffic, smog and crowded sidewalks and run your heart out alongside a pretty creek. You'll see egrets, herons and, um, a lot of other birds we can't identify, while jogging on asphalt. (Though not as good as dirt, it's easier on your knees than concrete.) The best part is that at the trail's end awaits the ocean. We're not saying you'd be wise to strip off your sweaty clothes and dive in — it's not a nude beach, after all. But we won't call the cops. —Ben Westhoff

Wanna get away? Catalina Island is closer to L.A. than Ventura or San Diego, and getting there is much more pleasant. Just head to the port at Long Beach or San Pedro and board the Catalina Express, and you'll disembark in our local island paradise about 75 minutes later, feeling relaxed rather than filled with road rage. (Big spenders can travel by helicopter or private plane, landing at the historic Airport in the Sky, 1,602 feet above the Pacific Ocean.) Many make a weekend of it, but you can enjoy much of this compact isle in a day. History buffs can tour the Avalon Casino (no gambling, but there is a first-run movie theater and ballroom); outdoorsy types can indulge in all manner of water sports plus hiking and biking; thrill seekers can try the zip line; relaxers can zone out at the refurbished Descanso Beach Club; shoppers can wander Avalon's touristy boutiques; and nature lovers can tour the rugged interior by Hummer or in a 1950s refurbished Flxible bus, from which you might see the famed bison or a bald eagle. Throw in a tropical drink at Luau Larry's as you meander back to the dock for your ride home and your day is complete. —Lisa Horowitz
Beaches, vineyards, mountain towns — there's lots to explore within a day's drive of L.A. But there's only one place where you can rejuvenate your cells using extraterrestrial science. The Integratron is a small, domed structure in the desert, designed by aircraft engineer George Van Tassel based on instructions he received from a Venusian who visited him in 1953. Built from Douglas fir without using nails or screws, the Integratron was to be a machine "for basic research on rejuvenation, anti-gravity and time travel." It was never finished, but many visitors claim to feel its beneficial effects. The current owners offer public and private "sound baths," with quartz bowls played in the second-floor chamber. The site's proximity to Joshua Tree National Park, its near-perfect acoustics and its weird history appeal to nature lovers, musicians, UFO fans and others. It is open by appointment only and advance ticket purchase is required. —Sara Rashkin
2477 Belfield Blvd., Landers, 92285. (760) 364-3126, integratron.com.
In the high desert of L.A. County, a number of wildlife sanctuaries and open lands let you walk undisturbed, gaze at desert plants and animals, or just enjoy the silence. Butte Valley Wildflower Sanctuary is one of the prettiest of these open spaces. Perched on a plateau above Saddleback Butte State Park, this 350-acre parcel is surrounded by a lush forest of Joshua trees, with trails that lead more or less nowhere. In springtime you can see a wide array of colorful California wildflowers. Travel a little further north, and you'll come to a cliff with views of Edwards Air Force Base; drive along nearby avenues to find two widely used professional movie sets decorated as vintage roadside stopovers, Club Ed (on 150th Street East) and the Four Aces (14999 E. Avenue Q in Lake Los Angeles). —Suzy Beal
Avenue J between 190th and 200th streets East, Lancaster, 93534. (661) 944-6881, parks.lacounty.gov.
Way up in the foothills of far-flung La Cañada Flintridge, you'll find the Cross Town Trail hike, whose prize attraction is a 20-foot-tall teepee erected amidst a tangle of public and private lands and trails. The quickest route to the teepee is from the end of Harter Lane, where a steep trail will take you about two hours round-trip. Proceed with caution, as the lines between public trails and private are quite blurred. Technically, the land beneath the teepee is privately owned, and there's a single, easy-to-miss sign pointing out the dividing line. Even so, once at the teepee, hikers nab a quick picture and take in the breathtaking views, which stretch as far as Palos Verdes Peninsula, downtown and the Hollywood Hills. But if you want to sit in the teepee — bad idea. There's a "KEEP OUT" sign at the front entrance, so don't even try. —Ani Ucar
End of Harter Lane, La Cañada Flintridge, 91011. lcftrails.org/?page_id=118.
BirdLA is a loose supergroup of local Audubon chapters and other birdwatching organizations promoting bird awareness. It offers bird-watching tips and resources for budding birders — for example, explaining how to ID a bird from its call or physical features. Its website features answers to such urban mysteries as "How to help birds avoid hitting your windows at home" and "Getting to know winter birds." Most significant is its Bird L.A. Day, which offers expert birders curating early morning to afternoon walks and talks for the public. They hit the prime spots where you can see Los Angeles' hummingbirds, gulls, great blue herons, flycatchers, snowy egrets and other sundry feathered friends. From the L.A. River to Palos Verdes, Pasadena to Malibu, BirdLA is fostering a burgeoning urban bird-watching culture. It's the perfect group for L.A. County, where more varieties of birds are spotted than in any other county in the nation. —Wendy Gilmartin

Ensure that document matches include...
...all of these word(s):
...and optionally include these word(s):
...but do not have these word(s):
Enter your phrase:
Enter the first few characters of a word:
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators
You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries
You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.

A CHARD woman will be reunited with her long-lost sister thanks to a family history website.
Mary Cross, 73, was evacuated from her home in Norfolk in 1941 and never met her family again after being taken in by a foster family.
Once she got the internet three years ago, she decided to use History Angels, which researches family history to try and reunite people, and last week she received some good news.
She said: "I can't believe it – they called me up and said I needed to sit down.
"They said you've got a sister called Carol, she's living in Ireland and she wants to meet you.
"I do not think I've come to terms with it yet – it is a right shock and I think I cried for half an hour.
"I just keep waking up and thinking 'I've got a sister'."
Mrs Cross, who has three sons, a daughter, and six grandchildren, hopes to meet her sister in the near future.

Make Notes – Tip 1
When you go back and look at your awesome image, make sure you can remember what you did!
One of the things that really dives me nuts is when I go back and look at an older image of mine and just can't remember all the tweaks and pokes I did to make it pop. Now this doesn't really apply to the standard raw editing elements (exposure, highlights, shadows, contrast, etc) but it certainly applies to creative edits, especially filters and plug-ins. Now, when I run across the above image two years from now, I can look in the notes field and see that I added a couple special items – first was a recipe I built in Nik Color Efex Pro followed by a Topaz colored sepia filter.
I created a custom field in my image editing program (Aperture) but you can use standard fields if you'd prefer. "Caption" is probably the easiest, and you can over write your notes when you do a digital export to an online photo gallery. Here are a couple other things to keep in mind:
- Label your special effects/filters in the order they are applied, separated by the "+" sign
- Don't wait to do it "later", make the note as you apply each unique item
- Use a similar schema in PhotoShop layers, title the layer with a descriptive of what you did
Have fun and stay in focus,
