Aerogels are materials with amazingly good insulating properties. Images of a blowtorch heating the underside of a piece of aerogel with an unharmed ice cube or a pack of http://www.adime.es/generic-viagra-for-sale matches on top are familiar to many, and show how well the material insulates.
New ways of producing aerogels are being developed, and some aerogels are now hundreds of times stronger than earlier versions. Newer aerogels are also able to be made thinner and buy viagra online uk far more flexible than were previously available. Not only could there be better building insulation applications with this, but aerogel insulation could also be incorporated into sleeping bags or garments.
Two new methods for making aerogel are being used to levitra paypal create these improved aerogels. "One involved making changes in the innermost architecture of traditional silica aerogels. They used a polymer, a plastic-like material, to reinforce the buy levitra online us networks of silica that extend throughout an aerogel's structure. Another involved making aerogels from polyimide, an incredibly strong and heat-resistant polymer, or plastic-like material, and then inserting brace-like cross-links to add further strength to the structure."

Vehicles with Safety & Quality Ratings
For 2014, the VW Passat sees a number of improvements. A new 1.8-liter turbocharged engine will gradually replace the 2.5-liter unit as the base engine. VW's Car-Net connected services will be offered on select trims, and a rearview camera is now standard on SE and higher trim levels.
After its thorough remake last year, aimed specifically at attracting more American consumers, Volkswagen's mid-size Passat sedan is little changed for 2013. Some tweaking inside makes the center console's cup holders and storage space more functional, and a rearview camera is now offered on the top SEL trim level.
The Volkswagen Passat for 2014 faces a number of well-received competitors including the new Nissan Altima, Honda Accord and Chevrolet Impala. To stay a step ahead, VW has loaded its base model with features most consumers want, and then added a robust line of trims, engines and options to help satisfy a wide variety of shoppers. Although the Passat doesn't offer a hybrid or pure electric model, it does offer a diesel engine that, until the Mazda6 comes online, remains the only family sedan in the segment to do so. You can also get a manual transmission on a number of Passat trims, another olive branch to the driving enthusiast who needs to trade up to a more family-friendly ride. This roomy German sedan is so good, you'll find it on our list of the 10 Best Sedans Under $25,000 for 2014.

Muskegon, MI (KWSN) — In another tightly contested contest at L.C. Walker Arena, the Stampede let a 2-1 third period lead slip away and fell, 3-2 in a shootout to the Muskegon Lumberjacks on Saturday night. The Herd earned three of a possible four points on the weekend after topping Muskegon 2-1 on Friday. C.J. Franklin and Tony Calderone scored for the Stampede while Art Brey stopped 32 of 34 shots in goal for the Herd who are now 6-2-1 on the season and in second place in the Western Conference.
Both teams came out with lots of energy, but it was the Lumberjacks who would strike first when Matt Iacopelli tallied his second goal of the weekend. Mason Jobst brought the puck up the right wing side, into the right circle before sending it through the slot to Iacopelli who quickly one-timed the shot past Stampede goaltender Art Brey. The lead wouldn't last for long however, as the Stampede responded just three minutes later when C.J. Franklin posted his fourth goal of the season. Dennis Kravchenko took the puck behind the Muskegon net, sending it to Franklin who stood at the bottom of the left circle and wristed a shot into the upper right hand corner of the net to make it a 1-1 game.
It stayed that way until the 17:58 mark when Tony Calderone recorded his second goal of the season. Chad Duchesne sent the puck to the top of the left circle to Griffen Molino who wristed a shot towards the net that was stopped by Muskegon goaltender Eric Schierhorn, but Calderone was there for the rebound and beat Schierhorn five-hole to give the Herd a 2-1 lead. Sioux Falls outshot the Lumberjacks 17-10.
In the second, Sioux Falls went on a 5-on-3 power play for just over 40 seconds and nearly scored, but Schierhorn and the Lumberjack defense held off the Stampede special teams unit to keep it a one goal game. The Herd rattled off 15 shots while Muskegon posted 10 in the period, but the game remained 2-1 in favor of the Stampede after two periods.
In the third, the Lumberjacks tied the game at 13:07 on a goal from Scott Pooley. On the play, it appeared Chad Duchesne's stick was being held, but play went on and Pooley skated down the right wing boards and wristed a shot from inside the left circle past the stick side of Brey to make it a 2-2 game. Neither team would score again in regulation and the game went to overtime.
In the extra session, the Stampede found themselves on a power play 1:24 in and were looking to cash in for the second straight Saturday. This time however, the Herd would come up short. The Herd had several good shots and looks, but Schierhorn continued to shine in goal and stopped the Stampede, eventually forced a shootout.
In the shootout, the Stampede got a third round goal from Dennis Kravchenko who faked a backhand shot and scored on the forehand over the pads of Scheirhorn to tie the shootout 1-1. The Jacks would win in it in round five when Trevor Morbeck slipped the puck through the pads of Brey to lift Muskegon to a come-from-behind victory.
Sioux Falls out shot the Lumberjacks 42-35 and went 1-for-6 on the power play while going 3-for-3 on the penalty kill.
The Herd return to action next Friday night when they host the Waterloo Black Hawks in "Pink in the Rink Night," presented by Midwest Family Care. The Stampede will be playing on pink ice and wearing special pink and white jerseys that will be raffled off during the game. Proceeds of the event will benefit the American Cancer Society. The first 1,000 fans through the doors will receive a free Stampede pink coffee tumbler. Tickets are available at the Sioux Falls Arena box office or any Ticketmaster location.

I'm working on a website, (demo at www.mariodecristofano.com/vrtraining1/) which has been decided by the client, to be ok. The client wants to emulate the header graphic (Union Jack flag) at http://www.veteransretreat.org.uk and has provided me with the orginal graphic (the client owns that website too!) In the new site however, I want the flag to only be as tall as the white space made available for it.
Now I know not to use dirty AP Div's or tables for this, but looking at the existing site CSS I can see the following addition should work (?) when I add it to my CSS
body {
background-image: url(../image/motif_test.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position:top center;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
background-color: #ffffff;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
But I can't get it to display anything. It's like its not reading this bit of CSS or I am doing something dumb (likley).
The CSS for the Veterans Retreat website which I'm trying to emulate is here
The CSS for my VR Training site is here
I'd be terribly grateful of any help anyone could offer, and if there's something I can do in return, I'd be happy to help

Andrea Dovizioso says it is too early to understand the potential of Ducati's Desmosedici MotoGP machine after he made his debut for the Bologna factory in Valencia last week.
Cold and wet conditions meant Dovizioso completed less than 40 laps on a dry track, as he became the latest high profile rider to stake his reputation on making the struggling Desmosedici competitive again.
Dovizioso has jumped into the hot seat vacated by Valentino Rossi, who returned to Yamaha after a miserable time at Borgo Panigale.
The nine-times world champion claimed just three podiums in 35 races and struggled with understeer and an aggressive power delivery throughout his time at Ducati.
Dovizioso was sixth quickest in Valencia but with less than ideal track conditions he said it was difficult to draw any significant conclusions on the performance of the Ducati.
He is due back on track next week for another test in Jerez where is hoping more favourable weather will give him a clearer indication of the strong and weak points of the Desmosedici package.
The former Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team rider told MCN: "When you don't put the bike on the limit you have many question marks and I couldn't put the bike on the limit really that much.
The change is big and a shock like when I changed from Honda to Yamaha. But like always there are good and bad points but everything is so new and it is difficult to understand everything in such a short space of time.
You want to change many things but this is not the moment to do that. We need good weather in Jerez to understand more the potential of the bike. It is still too early to make a real comparison.
The power is big and also the wheelie looks better than Yamaha but it is impossible to judge in such a short space of time."

Editor's Note: AgWeb.com is taking a look at experts' projections for a variety of commodities in 2013. See the full list of outlooks.
Soybean prices did an about-face late November, capping a $4 retreat in four months, and they have yet to recover. The marketing year is far from over, though. Profitable sales strategies will again likely present themselves in upcoming weeks and months for savvy marketers who can move quickly. Indeed, on one day alone in recent weeks, prices posted a 24-cent rise on a Chinese export announcement.
No longer, though, are $17-something beans on the table like they were in September, with the new resistance level the $15.75 range, some say. Nor are $17 beans likely to return anytime soon, barring an unforeseen weather calamity in South America, the U.S. or both.
While analysts may disagree on specifics of prices and strategies, forecasters agree that 2013 could well be a year when it might pay to have a big chunk of marketing done early. Moreover, with the possibility that soybeans at the extreme could either be $8 or $22 next fall, 2013 is a year that the use of put and call options offers particular appeal, brokers and economists say.
"Volatility and uncertainty best describe the soybean market," says Dan O'Brien, ag economist at Kansas State University. "Farmers need nerves of steel for marketing in the months ahead, but volatile prices also mean marketing windows, even if brief ones," adds Frayne Olson, ag economist at North Dakota State University.
This winter, the big market driver, even more so given such tight global supplies, will be weather in Brazil and Argentina. If weather looks good as it was in late November, prices could moderate. Just a hint of production problems in South America this winter could send bean prices higher, though, Olson says. That would create marketing opportunities for U.S. producers who haven't yet sold.
"For sure, the biggest issue to watch will be weather in South America," says O'Brien, though he cautions that's not the only factor. "There also are some real logistical issues in Brazilian port regions," he adds. It's one thing to grow the beans, quite another to get them into global shipping channels. Keep your eyes peeled on that one, he advises.
Between now and spring, prices are likely to hover somewhere in the $13 to $16 range, O'Brien predicts, admittedly a wide spread. But conditions in both South America and the U.S. could be wild. If no production problems develop, he thinks a window of $14 to $14.50 this winter is in the range of the probable, with a great South American crop "possibly taking us to $13." Come spring, U.S. weather comes into play, and right now a big chunk of the Western and Central Corn Belt is still having a severe drought that could drive soybean markets higher, as well as other crops that influence soybean prices.
In O'Brien's view, selling a good percentage of both old crop and new crop at $14 to $14.50 is a sensible approach, but for an overall strategy given so many unknowns, the strategy he likes is to divide up sales during the winter and spring. "Don't try and be a home-run hitter and wait for $18-19 beans," he advises. "Yes, there is the potential for greater gain by holding onto old crop and avoiding new crop sales, but there is also great risk."
Even from present levels that have moved decidedly lower from last fall, "we could see a significant break in prices," says Mark Gold, president and CEO of Top Third Ag Marketing. "My bias is on the short side." Adding to Gold's bearish sentiment for beans is softer demand with reduced U.S. livestock numbers and the potential for a huge 2013 crop not only in South America but also in the U.S..
For farmers who haven't yet priced them, Gold advises selling old crop beans but protecting the upside with a call option. On new crop, he recommends that producers sell 20% sold of 2013 guaranteed bushels with a cash forward contract. Gold suggests protecting the remaining unsold bushels with a put option.
One more bearish cloud over beans, he says, is that while most farmers have sold 2012 corn, they have stored beans, and market players know this. Still, back-to-back droughts, while improbable, are not impossible. "I want to keep that possibility open with a call option," Gold adds. That way, if for some reason production is light either in the U.S. or South America, farmers can participate if market moves to the upside.
"Next year, farmers in the U.S. will likely plant the largest soybean crop in history," adds Steven Johnson, farm management specialist at Iowa State University. In the U.S. alone, he predicts that growers will plant 80 million acres of beans, up 3 million from the 77 million they planted this year.
Why the bump in soybean acres? Two reasons: Less corn following corn coupled with Western Corn Belt producers still hit hard by drought who are likely to boost their bean acreage at the expense of corn. Because of those factors he predicts a softer landing for soybean prices, a 65% probability that 2013/14 prices will average $12.50/bu., based on trendline yields.
An important piece to marketing beans today is this, he says: Price seasonality has changed. The highs in soybean prices have shifted the past five years to July and August, after the world has run out of South American crops and is waiting for the U.S. harvest. There is also another seasonal price pattern that could play over the next few months; it is just ahead of the South American harvest, December and January. "I'd be ready to sell (old crop) in the next 60 days. And target some soybean sales early for the new crop about $13/bu. using the November 2013 soybean futures," he adds.

Killington co-founder Sargent dead at 83By Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | November 09,2012
Joseph Sargent, co-founder of the Killington Ski Area, whose financial acumen was especially critical in the early days of the resort, died Wednesday in West Hartford, Conn. He was 83.
In 1956, Sargent and Preston Leete Smith founded Sherburne Corp. to fulfill Smiths vision to build a ski area from scratch out of the wilderness of the Calvin Coolidge State Forest, five miles from Route 4 in what was then the town of Sherburne.
The two raised $80,000 from local investors with Smith persuading the state to build a five-mile access road in the shadow of Killington Mountain.
On Dec. 13, 1958, Killington Ski Area opened with seven trails, two surface lifts and a Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps building serving as a base lodge.
Smith and Sargent, who both grew up in West Hartford, came together with opposite backgrounds: Smiths was forestry, and Sargents was finance. But the two meshed into a successful business relationship.
Perhaps the most important other ingredient was mutual respect, Smith wrote Thursday in an email from his home in Florida. The ski business is a very complex business for the fact that it encompasses an array of different businesses rolled into one.
Smith also recalled his friend and partner as someone who wasnt afraid to get his hands dirty. He said Sargent and his wife, Mary, would travel on weekends from their home in Connecticut.
Sargent in the early days pitched in on trail clearing or whatever had to be done, as everyone associated did, since funds were very limited, Smith said.
He said the two of them did virtually all the lift and trail design for the first 10 years the resort was operating.
Phil Camp, Killingtons first marketing director and its third employee, recalled Sargent as more than just a savvy businessman.
He was a financial genius and an everyday guy, said Camp, publisher of the Vermont Standard. And when it came time to get out and direct traffic Joe was there helping. If it needed something to get to the top of the mountain, Joe put an old military knapsack on his back.
Sargent did have one bit of advice when Camp started working at the ski area in 1959. Theres only one thing we require of you, Camp said. He said never go over budget.
It was advice Camp said he took to heart.
Sargent, who graduated from Yale University with a degree in economics and geology, was managing partner and chairman of Conning & Co., an investment firm with a focus on the insurance business.
He served as chairman of Sherburne Corp. and its successor, S-K-I Ltd.
Smith credited Sargent with thinking outside the box in building a business that was challenged in no small part by its seasonal nature. It was also a highly competitive business.
He put forth the idea of spy in the sky, Smith said. Flights were scheduled to photograph the parking lots of their competitors, after which the cars were counted. This provided Killington a means to measure its marketing expense and success.
Under Smith and Sargent, Killington became the largest ski area in the East. It acquired other ski resorts, including Mount Snow in Vermont, Bear Mountain in California, Waterville Valley in New Hampshire and Sugarloaf in Maine.
S-K-I Ltd., a publicly traded company, was sold in 1996 to Leslie B. Otten, who started American Skiing Co. Today, Killington and its sister resort, Pico, are owned by Powdr Corp. of Utah.
Larry Jensen, who was Killingtons manager of business development and later controller, remembered Sargent as someone respected by Smith and others for his fairness and leadership.
One of Pres Smiths strengths was he was willing to listen to people, and Joe was one of the people he listened to very carefully, Jensen said, and I think had a great deal to do with the overall success at Killington.
Added Smith: Joseph D. Sargent indeed had a profound impact on Vermont and the ski business.

TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Workday as a sell. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its deteriorating net income and feeble growth in its earnings per share. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Software industry. The net income has decreased by 15.1% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, dropping from -$41.31 million to -$47.53 million.
- WORKDAY INC' earnings per share from the most recent quarter came in slightly below the year earlier quarter. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 24.4% in earnings (-$0.56 versus -$0.45).
- WDAY's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.78 is somewhat low overall, but it is high when compared to the industry average, implying that the management of the debt levels should be evaluated further. Even though the debt-to-equity ratio shows mixed results, the company's quick ratio of 3.79 is very high and demonstrates very strong liquidity.
- Compared to other companies in the Software industry and the overall market, WORKDAY INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for WORKDAY INC is rather high; currently it is at 69.32%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of -37.17% is in-line with the industry average.

text: I picked up a new PRS SE Custom 24 today in quilted purple to go with the 25th anniversary model I already own. The guitar is beautiful but when I got it home and fitted the trem arm, it was very loose indeed to the point where I fear it could just fall out. Just in case it was the arm, I tried the trem arm from my existing CU24 but that was loose in there too. Thinking that the problem must therefore be with the hole in the bridge for the trem arm I tried the trem arm from my new guitar in the old one and surprisingly it was loose in there too. Out of the two guitars, the only combination where the trem arm is secure is the old arm in the old guitar. What is the likely cause of this and can it be easily fixed?

The year 1963 truly was momentous in our history, but particularly in the history of the civil rights movement. The place was Birmingham, Alabama, a city that at the time was one of the most segregated in America, and where violence against African Americans was all too commonplace.
Fifty years later, NTEU honors the legacies of the brave men and women who struggled for civil rights and fair treatment.
In August 1963, as many as 300,000 people gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., calling for civil and economic rights for African Americans. On that day, Martin Luther King, Jr. told the American people that he had a dream.

"How to change multiple background-image of body with effects?" – I think this is a major problem which all designers face. You can fade background colors but not background images. The way to work around this is to have your images as tags and hide them by default display:none;. Give your images position:absolute and z-index:-1 so they act like backgrounds and are behind everything else. Here's a quick example of multiple images fading one after the other.

Monday's beautiful weather gave people the idea to hit the beaches at Lake Michigan for the holiday.
Silver Beach was pretty full with people wanting to get in their last bit of summer fun before the season changes.
Even though people were enjoying the mild temperatures and cool water, they had to be careful of rip currents.
The lake was under a red flag warning the whole day.
"We're a little more cautious. We had my daughter Emily that went into the water but we definitely watched her a lot closer than normal," says Steve Koetsier who spent Labor Day at Silver Beach.
The US Coast Guard says it was a very quiet day and the only call they got was for a disabled boat.

What is the credit limit on the Citi Platinum Select MasterCard?
Editor's Note: This offer expired and is no longer available.
A look at the terms and conditions for the Citi Platinum Select MasterCard reveals that the minimum credit line offered is $500. But the maximum credit line that a consumer can qualify for isn't shown.
The reason the maximum credit amount isn't revealed is because a credit card issuer determines the credit limit based on your credit history and on other information you provide in your credit card application. If you barely qualify for this card, you'll be likely to receive a credit limit close to the $500 minimum. If you have excellent credit, you'll be considered for a higher credit limit.
Keep in mind that even if you start out with a $500 credit limit, you can probably get a higher limit if you consistently pay your credit card bill on time. The key to a higher credit limit often depends on the specific card and how high a card issuer is willing to go, but it also depends on how diligently you pay your bills.
No Comments
- I'm on the road a lot. I don't want to max out my card and not be able to make purchases. Which card is best for me?
- I have a Citi Platinum Select Card and would like to apply for either the Citi Diamond Preferred Card or the Citi Dividend Card. Will already having a Citi Card hurt my chances of getting another Citi Card?
- Is the Citibank Gold World MasterCard treated as a regular airline rewards card? Can it be used for business as well as coach travel?

Why I Can Never Leave My Husband
Jennifer Ginsberg: It is remarkable that after over two decades of menstruation, I am still thrown for a loop by my monthly cycle. Every 28 days or so, this freaky thing happens to my body. First, I have the overwhelming urge to consume my body weight in salt, which I counterbalance with chocolate chips and peanut butter. My boobs get so sensitive that if they are accidentally brushed against, I gasp in pain. Everyone and everything is intolerable to me. In the hours before my period starts, I often find myself at the beach staring out at the waves and asking the Universe, "Is this all there is?" While nothing is concretely wrong, my hormonally distorted reality is confusing, dark, and bloated. Red Tent, here I come!
Once I actually start to bleed, I often find myself completely unprepared for my period. How is it possible that after all these years I lack the ability to appropriately plan for this monthly event? I blame this phenomenon on pathological denial, which is induced by the emotional and physical trauma I endure each month. If I actually went out beforehand to purchase tampons, I would be acknowledging the ensuing horror. So I get three weeks of relative bliss because of my inability to face my feminine reality.
My husband, Adam, is a unique man. A classic Alpha Male with a sensitive side, he not only beautifully takes care of our family, but also understands my nuances and idiosyncrasies. So when I recently found myself late at night in my bathroom desperately in need of a feminine hygiene product, I woke him from a deep sleep. There was no doubt in my mind that he would rescue me from my self-inflicted drama.
He got up from bed, without uttering a complaint and drove to Rite Aid in the dead of night. When he called me from the store to confirm the brand and absorbency he said, "Jen, I forgot to put my shoes on. I am walking around the tampon section of Rite Aid barefoot."
Adam has been romantic, generous, and adoring from our first date. But it was at that moment, after seven years of marriage, when I fully grasped the depth and character of the man I married.
A man that will go out in the middle of the night barefoot to fetch me tampons is a keeper. I scored!

Wow, I'm speechless. That is truly a great (dare I say, "perfect"?) man, and you're right, you can't leave him,…..but if you do, could you let me know? :)
There a few good men out there…I have one of my own and I love him to pieces!
Oh how hilarious! What an image… and yes, that is definitely a keeper. Gotta love a man who is man enough to peruse Rite Aid barefoot with tampsons. My guy would do that too, we are lucky.
I had a similar experience. We were in Vegas for a Travel Baseball tourny for my son and woke up at 5 am to good ol mother nature. Not knowing where to go my husband went on a mission with no complaints. I love him for all the awesome things he does. I agree guys like that are keepers.
Wow…I could have written this myself. This world would be a better place if we all had husbands like this. I'll never let my husband go…he's perfect!
He's a keeper for sure! I just wanted to say that your symptoms sound a lot like what I suffered through for many, many years. From the pill to ibuprofen to hormones and antidepressants I've tried it all and nothing helped until recently. I was diagnosed with Subclinical Hypothyroid Disease. My blood tests showed that I was at the high end of the normal range but experiencing some symptoms of thyroid disease and nearly debilitating pms. I'm now on a low dose of synthroid and all my symptoms (yes the cramps, mood swings, breast pain… all of it) have begun to subside to the point that my quality of life (and my family's quality of life) has greatly improved. So don't let yourself suffer, look into this and if you need to get a second opinion. It took me 6 doctors and several years and LOTS of money before I found my answer.
There aren't many men like this left in the world today - so when you find one, you need to hang on as tight as you can and never let go! There's no way you can ever leave him…just be good to him and take care of him…men like this usually need nurturing. And it sounds like there's a waiting list already…but if you ever did leave him, let me know!
I was looking for a good man - looks like I have to add this to my list of what I'm looking for. Are there really guys who will do this for you? This guy isn't available, but I want on the list too! I was with a guy who would rather die than buy me a tampon. He wanted me to buy condoms…that was fine - then I asked him to pick some something for me and he freaked…NEXT…
Great read! Sounds just like my hubby. Cheers to the good life!
Yes, thats very sweet. But come on, you could have waited till the morning. Used paper towels or something. My husband would be livid if I woke him up from sleep (especially when he has job that he has to get up at early in the morning) just because I "forgot" to buy tampons during the whole month! I mean come on, like you said, you've had your period for over 20 years, im assuming its not a surprise you got it. So why bother your poor hubby in the middle of the night to get tampons? Sure its sweet, but you should go in the middle of the night to get tampons, not your husband. Use your head this month and buy two boxes of tampons!
My husband's done the same thing, for me a couple of times. Not in the middle of the night, but I waited in the car. He also "spots" me to tell me if I'm stained or not.
Aww, that's sweet! It's rare to find a man-thing that doesn't complain about buying feminine hygiene products in the first place, but one who will go out in the middle of the night barefoot? That's sweet. Mine is a keeper as well, he puts up a lot with my womandom and holds a lot of respect for my female parts (and monthly tyranny).
Never prepared for a monthly event? Shop in bulk! Lol! I personally have the Diva cup. Love it, I save so much on not buying things to throw away each month and my inner tree hugger is happy that I'm not contributing to waste.
I'm impressed by the woman's claims that her hubby goes to bring her tampon in the middle of the night. What is so great about it. Before sleeping I'd have sex with her and douche her vagina and insert a tampon. But the problem i s I'd be aroused again at 4 A.M. I'd need ti have sex and I'd have to take the tampons tio have sex. I don't care if the vagina was bleeding.
What a disturbing and random comment from Satish Bhardwaj….way to take things to a totally inappropriate level.
What is it with you and your comments Satish?!! Seriously. That was totally unnecessary and inappropriate. I don't know what you get out of making a comment like that but this is not the site for it so take it someplace else, Jacka**
The smaller things are always the ones that count and in this case your husband seems very ideal. I hope you live a happy life.
Mind is power-
Hey, have been looking for reviews of people who know about this, and after browsing the search engines, I came to your article, and it is lovely write up. Too bad I took all these days getting to your site. Saved you in my bookmarks already. I shall return pretty soon. Just keep on writing your blog will get really popular.
Fine information, many thanks to the author. It is puzzling to me now, but in general, the usefulness and significance is overwhelming. Very much thanks again and best of luck!
Wow!, this was a top quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I keep putting it off and never seem to get something done

Are your friend when carring passengers. so you'll need a big capacity bike to begin with.
Try to avoid too many gear changes. unless that is you like being repeatly headbutted?
have a set of hand signals prearranged, thumb up thumb down works well.forget microphones and such not, i find the screaming puts me off my riding!
Good Grab rail (see headbutting).also good for protecting the wedding tackle under extreme braking.
up the preload on the rear shock , otherwise your sports bike takes on the handling off a dodgy shopping trolley
good riding Gear for you passenger, they generally come off worse in an crash, give them yours if it comes to it!
otherwise if i haven't put you off, take the pillion as it adds a certain spark to riding, more of a shared experience, and also good for the ego (my brother often tells the tale of Evesham to Hereford, strange that was the last time he came on the back).
Just remember all that extra weight changes how a bike works, and to get the best out of it, the pillion needs to know what your doing, so never going to come with one ride. don't try and scare them and given time having a pillion can be very rewarding(someone to buy the tea for a start)

The question is two fold. Are you comfortable enough to take a pillion and is your potential passenger comfortable riding pillion? The pillion can significantly affect the bikes handling if they don't follow the rider (ie freak out, throw their bodyweight against the direction of leaning or throw their bodyweight significantly towards the direction of leaning). You also have to be comfortable that they'll hold on adequately and correctly brace when braking.
If they're comfortable with all this then it's your choice. You have to remember that their life is in your hands so don't be an idiot when they're on the back. Once your both equally comfortable then you can up the pace/ ride in a more fun manner.

Just remember to be smooth, and for the first few corners take it easy while you get used to the change to the centre of gravity. Once your used to it you will be fine, I have seen riders take corners with pillions as if they were solo so no need for it to be a problem or slow you down.
Oh and just practice getting on and off the bike a few times, the extra weight can be fun!

I was as nervous as you were about taking pillions after passing my test. My advice is take the plunge and just do it, let her know you're new to it so you need to work together as a team. Make sure she knows the rules to being a pillion. She needs to keep still on the back but remain relaxed, feet always on the pegs and she must always look where the bike is going and not lean but rather relax and let the bike guide her. She needs to keep a good grip on the rear or side handles too. If you have none or if she prefers to hold on to you, id recommend buying "love handles" its a belt with handles to go on your waist, they're priceless. As for you make sure you got a solid grip on the ground with your feet and a good grip on the handles when shes getting on and off the bike. Also Make sure the pegs are down for her to stand on first. Always let her know when its OK to get on or off the bike to avoid any drops or accidents. Don't worry and be confident in your skills, just ride safe and you'll find out its tons of fun. Be sure to read up on the effects of a pillion on the bikes handling before you go out too!

First, make sure your insurance covers you for carrying a passenger. Some companies charge an extra premium. One trick I now do is keep your side stand down whilst they get on. Some people wriggle around a lot and can overbalance the bike, so make sure they are comfy before you set off. If they are new to bikes, get them to practice getting on and off before you go anywhere.

My partner regularly rides pillion on my CB1300S... she found even my Bandit 1250 too uncomfortable. If you're taking a pillion for the first time don't try to impress. Make sure they have the right gear in case the worst happens. Girls and gravel rash don't go together. Tell them how to behave on the back 'don't lean the other way', 'don't put your foot down when we stop' etc. Agree a signalling system so you communicate before they get on and before they get off, you're going too fast/slow, stop now etc. Ours is so good I now often get a punch in the kidney's BEFORE I attempt an overtake. Keep it smooth, short shift and change up without the clutch: after a car, even a slow bike will feel like a rocket. It also helps avoid helmet clash. We've a top box that helps make a pillion feel secure, but grab handles are great for a first timer and cheap enough even if she hates it. Put a couple of clicks on the rear suspension to firm it up a bit and make sure your tyre pressures are correct. When riding be careful as the front will feel a bit less planted than you are used to. Try to avoid filtering first time out, pillions can find this terrifying. Then check you haven't taken pillion riders off your insurance to save you a few quid.

There's a particular set of skills for a passenger to acquire as well as what's been said below. Like don't lean. Amazing how many passengers don't know that leaning with you can make fall-in unpredictable. When to sit upright and loose instead of hunched over with you when accelerating... There's other stuff but first and foremost make sure she has gear.
To each their own. But like the cell phone answering poll and me not wanting to take calls, I don't want a passenger either. She should get her own. But GFs/Sos are a touchy subject. One one hand, it's great to have one that is cool with your riding hobby. OTOH, it can suck if you feel they're intruding/inviting themselves on your "me" time.

JONESBORO, AR - KAIT has been nationally recognized by the ABC Network for the station's promotional advertising work.

The ad was produced by marketing producer Marcus Carlton, who was assisted by Jeremy Shirley and Richard Bressler.
"I was shocked," said Carlton. "For a smaller market to beat out others like New York and L.A. is really something."
The Alpha Award is a network recognition for outstanding, creative and effective on-air promos. KAIT shared the sports promotion category award with nominees from Seattle, Minnesota and Milwaukee.

This is soooo cool.I looked at the website and couldn't find any information about shipping to the US. I appears that you order online and then pick-up and pay at a designated UK paint and wallpaper store. Doe anyone know if this can be shipped to the US?
Great wallpapers. www.photowall.eu is another one of my favourite wallmurals sites.

After a few months of preparation, two Ohio legislators today formally introduced an economic development plan that a nonpartisan group has said could create up to 16,000 jobs in the state.
State Sens. Eric Kearney (D-North Avondale) and Nina Turner (D-Cleveland) have submitted Senate Bill No. 278, known as "Forward Ohio," for the State Legislature's consideration.
There was a period of time in U.S history, roughly for 30 years after the Civil War, known as "the Gilded Age." The American economy grew at an unprecedented rate as the nation transformed itself from an agrarian society into an industrial one.
But the transformation's downside included excessive displays of wealth and captains of industry who grew their fortunes on the backs of exploited and mistreated workers. The government ignored the situation, as the era gave rise to the concept of "social Darwinism."
A bill that supporters say would've ensured women are paid the same as men for doing the same work was blocked today by the U.S. Senate in a 58-41 vote. All Republican senators — including George Voinovich from Ohio — voted against allowing debate on the bill.
The bill, known as the Paycheck Fairness Act, was approved by the House in January 2009 and was supported by President Obama.
Tuesdays will be market day at downtown's Fountain Square beginning in late spring and lasting until early fall. And to fill the market, the group that manages the plaza is accepting applications from interested vendors.
The Cincinnati City Center Development Corp. (3CDC) will operate the market for 21 weeks, from May 1 to Sept. 25. The midday, mini-market will be open from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
A state lawmaker will host two sessions later this month designed to give advice to small business owners on obtaining loans to start or expand a business.
State Sen. Eric Kearney (D-9th District) is sponsoring the Small Business Credit Access Forum on July 28. The sessions will be held at the TechSolve Business Park, located at 6705 Stegner Drive in Carthage.
A local conservative activist has found another job in politics.
Brad Beckett recently was appointed as Heritage Action for America's first regional coordinator for the Cincinnati area. Beckett served for years as chief of staff for City Councilman Chris Monzel, until Monzel left that group in January 2011 to become a Hamilton County commissioner.
In his new role, Beckett will be responsible for growing Heritage Action's grassroots infrastructure in Cincinnati and nearby areas in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.
"Brad brings a wealth of experience in and knowledge of Cincinnati politics," said Michael Needham, Heritage Action's CEO, in a prepared statement.
"His knowledge of Cincinnati and the surrounding region will be essential to ensuring that the American people's voices cut through the big-government noise in Washington as we fight to save the America dream," Needham added.
Prior to his latest gig, Beckett almost had the top job in Butler County government. When Monzel was elected to the Hamilton County commission, Beckett discreetly lined up another job as Butler County administrator. Two commissioners there hatched the plan privately but one abruptly changed his mind a day before Beckett's employment was to have begun, leaving him without a job.
More recently Beckett has been working at the Apple Store in Kenwood Towne Center and launched The Political Daily Download, a right-leaning blog. Also, he assisted in Tom Brinkman's unsuccessful campaign to win the Republican nomination to run for the Ohio House 27th District seat.
Founded in 2010, Heritage Action for America is the sister organization to the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. The newer group's motto is "we hold Congress accountable to conservative principles," and it was formed mostly because the foundation isn't allowed to back pieces of legislation due to its tax-exempt status.
One of Heritage Action's first projects was to organize opposition to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the health-care reform law pushed by President Obama.
Among Heritage Foundation's primary donors is Charles Koch, one half of the infamous Koch Brothers duo. They're the industrialists who helped form the Tea Party movement, which advocates for corporate interests that benefit the brothers and harm the working class.
Also, the Kochs led the push to abolish collective bargaining rights for public-sector labor unions in Ohio, Wisconsin and elsewhere.
The newly hired top editor at The Enquirer will be making several public appearances in coming weeks in an effort to become acquainted with the community.
Carolyn K. Washburn, the newspaper's editor and vice president, will be speaking at events organized by Northern Kentucky University and the League of Women Voters of the Cincinnati Area, among others.
