I think the comment your boyfriend made was interesting, and indicative of the idea that breasts are inherently sexual. Children seem to learn mother's bodies in a very different way than fathers, partly because they come our of our vagina, and then are sustained by our breasts. A politically correct body touching policy is rather difficult to teach while you are also breastfeeding into toddler-hood as mother's bodies are "shared" with their children for years without an boundaries.
My vote is it's not wrong nor is it inappropriate as long as you're comfortable.
But I think what your dd is going through is normal. I think that allowing her to touch or cuddle them will just help her adjust and maybe be less jealous of the baby nursing?
Your bf's comment is inappropriate, and I think that him saying that in front of dd is more likely to have a damaging effect than allowing her to explore your pregnant mama breasts as they develop. I don't think her curiosity is sexual at all and it's nowhere near on the same spectrum as anyone feeling his sack. I would make sure to correct him and defend her if he makes comments like that in front of her--she may start feeling bad about her natural curiosity, kwim?
I think you bf may be sexualizing this behavior, when it is most likely a comfort/curiosity thing. How does he feel about people brestfeeding for extended period, like people nursing till 4, 5, 6?
I don't mind my almost 5 year old son snuggling against my chest for comfort. If he wants to nurse, then I'm like NO...Not that I'm against extended breastfeeding at all, but I personally don't feel comfortable physically and emotionally nursing my 5 year old. So anyway that was OT
at 7 my dd gave my breasts characterizations and made them do a comic play.
I think that your boyfriend put it crudely, but I agree with the sentiment. Even if a child was just curious about what a mans private body parts look like groping them with a non-sexual intent would be still be incredibly wrong. I don't think kids should be groping and playing with their parents private body parts. I don't think that you have to be harsh to set a limit on this, butt and boob grabbing are normal stages that kids go through and it is possible to redirect them gently and effectively at the same time. Since she is seven I think you should try talking to her about private body parts, your limits, and getting her books to satisfy her curiousity about why your body is changing.

Even a baby or toddler who is still nursing? That's how my toddler indicates she wants to nurse. I have to think a lot of babies and toddlers indicate they want to nurse by grabbing what they want.
and to op, i also see it as normal curiosity, however if it makes you uncomfortable just tell her gently about boundaries and how it's not always appropriate to touch people.

But I do not like bf's reply
I also nursed my dd past two, I don't really think that's a factor in this.
A daughter playing with your breasts is not comparable to a son playing with his nutsack. It's comparable to his son playing with his breasts. His nutsack is his scrotum which is the thing that surrounds his gonads. Your breasts are not gonads. I only point this out because I find it frustrating that breasts are always compared to reproductive organs when they are secondary sexual characteristics...not that you necessarily want your children touching your secondary sexual characteristics, but still.
It sounds like you've already resolved this issue. I will say that when I was around this age, I was fascinated with breasts. Not the naked ones, I was just really surprised that women had these things protruding out of their chests under their sweaters. I wondered about them, if they were soft, etc. One time when I was sitting on my sister in law's lap, I pushed her breast. I knew, somehow, that I would be tossed off her lap after that, so I waited until I was ready to get down anyway. I also knew I couldn't ask...I think I had tried asking my mother once before and was given a resounding no. I was probably younger than 7, actually, more like 5 or 6, but I had no clue if the breasts were hard like plastic or firm like my chest, or what, you know? So I went for it, pushed a breast, found out it was soft, and then got put down.

The Middleman(2003)
A collection of poems by David Cavanagh
Writing from the U.S. with a Canadian background and Irish ancestry, David Cavanagh straddles a number of borders. With deft language and a compassionate voice, his poems explore complex territories of love, family, work, and nationality through the lens of personal history. They seek lost connections from a Montreal childhood, a funeral procession in Cork, or a walk with a lover among wildflowers in Vermont. Always there is yearning for meaning. And usually it's the subtle, middle ground between extremes that seems most fertile. These poems suggest that in the search for sensuous understanding lies a saving beauty and vitality. David Cavanagh is an associate dean at Johnson State College in Vermont.

Chapter Thirteen
Ginny was pacing the room, quite unable to keep still even for the briefest moment. Hermione rolled her eyes, at the same time having an intense feeling of deja vu.
"How much long is it?" she asked Hermione. Glancing at the clock on the wall, Hermione informed Ginny that the ceremony would start in half an hour.
"Oh." For once, Ginny stopped pacing. "Hermione," she asked curiously, "do you remember when you came round to the Burrow just after you found out you were expecting."
Hermione thought back. "Just after Penelope had Anastacia?" she asked. Ginny nodded in confirmation.
"That's right. Do you remember how I was teasing you about being pregnant when you got married? And I said something along the lines of 'at least I won't be pregnant when I walk down the isle'?"
Hermione's brown eyes widened. "Ginny..." she breathed, realising what the youngest Weasley was implying.
The redhead grinned nervously, a red flush spreading across her cheeks. "I found out yesterday," she told Hermione. She looked a bit worried. "Peter doesn't know," she warned Hermione. "Please don't tell anyone. I want it to be a surprise."
"Oh, it will be," Hermione told her.
There was a loud knock at the door. Without waiting for an invitation, it burst open and Harry came in, a huge grin adorning his face. He looked slightly dazed and full of energy.
"Harry, what is it?" asked Hermione standing up to pour her friend a glass of water. He accepted it gratefully. Without taking a sip he said, "She said yes!" Hermione gasped and hugged Harry tightly, if not awkwardly, owing to her rather large stomach.
"When?" she demanded.
"This morning!"
Harry had first proposed to Laura back in December on her birthday. She had refused, saying she had wanted to wait a while. Harry, being as persistent as ever had kept asking her. At one point Hermione was sure Laura was on the verge of cursing Harry if he asked her again. But now it seemed that she had finally said yes: Harry Potter was getting married.
"Congratulations, Harry," Ginny told him, kissing him on the cheek. "Goodness knows it's about time she came to her senses!"
"Hey, I heard that!" Laura grinned from the doorway. Hermione spotted a diamond sparkling on her finger, and she appeared to have the same dazed expression as Harry. Ginny rushed over and hugged her, and started gabbling about wedding plans, seemingly forgetting that she was getting married in about twenty-five minutes.
Harry turned to Hermione. "This is all rather odd, isn't it? Ron's married and is now a very proud father, you're engaged and about to give birth and I'm engaged..."
"I suppose this means we're all grown up now, doesn't it?" mused Hermione. Harry nodded.
"We're officially adults, I think. Scary, eh?"
"Not really. It's a lot like still being in school, except... it all seems worth it, doesn't it? All the teenage angst, the bad relationships, the drunken mistakes..."
"I think our case the drunken mistakes are the best ones," a voice said from the doorway. George was there, dressed in his formal robes and a slight smirk playing upon his lips. Hermione snickered at this, knowing exactly what he was referring to: if the two of them hadn't got extremely drunk on vodka shots at Ron's wedding they wouldn't have ended up together.
He crossed over to Harry and Hermione, slipping an arm around Hermione's waist. "Is it all right if I steal my fiancée, Harry? Mum wants to see her."
"Go ahead," Harry told them. "I'd better save Laura from Ginny. Honestly, she's like a miniature version of your mother!" Hermione giggled at this and George nodded his agreement before leading Hermione out of the room.
"So what does Molly want to see me about?" asked Hermione, fiddling with her engagement ring.
"She doesn't. I just wanted to do this." George kissed her deeply, and Hermione blinked in surprise.
"What was that for? Not that I don't mind," she added hastily.
He shrugged lightly. "Nothing. It's just that I don't think I'll be able to go to another wedding without thinking about that first night in France. It was... magical." Hermione nodded.
"I don't think I could have described it any better myself," Hermione told him, kissing him gently. She pulled back. "We should probably go to the chapel," she said, a trace of sadness in her voice. Clearly she was enjoying herself too much to leave.
"Yeah," agreed George, wrinkling his nose. He kissed Hermione once more and they Disapparated with a 'pop'.
Fred and Katherine were waiting for them outside of the chapel, and Fred rolled his eyes seeing the couple in an embrace when they Apparated. "Do you two ever come up for air?" he asked in despair.
"Not if we can help it," George told him with a grin, and Hermione smacked his arm playfully.
"George!" she scolded. George just grinned.
When Ginny was led down the isle by Arthur Weasley, Hermione saw Molly Weasley sniffing before bursting into a flood of tears. She smiled at this. Ginny was her youngest child, and the only girl; this must have felt like the end of an era for her. But, Hermione reminded herself, there was still one Weasley who wasn't married. Not for long though, she though looking at the ring on her finger.
She felt George reach for her hand as the vows were taken, and he squeezed it reassuringly, giving her a smile that made her knees feel weak. At that moment, Hermione couldn't think of anything better than getting married.
At least, she couldn't until one of the babies kicked.
Hearing the bell above the door chime, Fred looked up from the display he had been doing. "Hermione," he sighed. "You should be at home."
Upon hearing Hermione's name, George emerged from the workshop. "Hermione!" he said rather shrilly, "Go home."
"No," she frowned, sinking into a chair behind the counter. She dusted off the till with her sleeve. "There's nothing to do at home."
"What about sleeping?" George suggested. "You look exhausted."
"That's because I am," Hermione admitted. "All that kicking kept me awake last night."
"The babies giving you hassle?" asked Fred sympathetically.
Hermione gave a slight snort at this. "The babies? No, I was on about George!" she said pointing at George who flushed a brilliant red.
"You kept stealing the covers," he said in his defense.
"That's only because they can barely fit over my stomach!" Hermione snapped. She winced slightly, rubbing her abdomen. George was at her side in a flash.
"Hermione, are you all right?" he asked concernedly, rubbing her back. She shrugged off his hand.
"I'm fine," she assured him. "It's just Braxton hicks contractions. I've been getting them since last night."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, George." Her patience was starting to wear thin now. "Can I have a drink of water?" she asked. George nodded and raced out to the back.
"You sure you're all right?" Fred asked. "Kath had those when she was expecting Alex, but they never lasted more than a few hours."
"Well, I'm not Katherine," said Hermione through gritted teeth.
"Morning, all," said Bill Weasley, brightly, pushing open the door to 3W, his wife Shannon not far behind him.
"Hi, Bill," said Hermione, glad of a distraction. "Where are Ben and Serena?" she asked.
"With Grandma Weasley, who else?" said Shannon with a smile. "She offered to look after them, and who am I to pass up a chance to get away from children for a while?"
Shannon worked at the St. Hedwig's Maternity Hospital. It was another Wizarding hospital, though was situated in Ireland and, obviously, was a maternity hospital. She worked as a midwife, and so out of all the Weasley wife's she probably knew the most about childbirth.
George appeared through the door, carefully carrying a glass of water. He handed it to Hermione, who sipped gently at it. "Thanks," she told him.
"How are you, Hermione?" asked Bill.
"Would I be a really bad person if I said I didn't want to be pregnant any more?" Hermione asked.
Shannon chuckled at this. "Not at all. I felt the same way when I had Benjamin. You haven't got long now, though."
Hermione nodded and smiled, glad of this, and then finished her water in a couple of gulps. She set the glass down, and said, "I think I might go and get some ice cream."
She stood up, then sat down quickly, hands clasped to her stomach and nearly doubled over. "Or maybe not," she decided, moaning slightly. George was quickly trying to comfort her, one of his hands hold her smaller one.
Fred looked rather pale. "I don't think those are Braxton hicks," he told Hermione.
"You could be right," Hermione told him, doubling over again as another wave of pain came. Fred saw George nearly bite through his bottom lip as Hermione's grip on his hand increased.
"Definitely not," said Shannon, shedding her robes. "Come on, Hermione; we need to get you to the hospital."
Hermione shook her head. "It hurts too much."
"You're telling me," George mumbled, and Hermione shot him a deadly glare. Hermione grimaced, and got to her feet. Almost immediately she sank to the floor, resting her back against the wall.
"Hermione," asked Shannon quickly, "how long have you been getting these contractions?"
"Since last night," George told her, and Hermione confirmed this with a nod.
Shannon sighed. "I'd better have a look at you then," she said. "I think we could be a bit too late to get to the hospital."
A few minutes later, Shannon confirmed this.
"You mean the babies are going to be born here?" asked Bill. "In the joke shop?"
Shannon stood and nodded. She strode over to the door, switching the sign from 'open' to 'closed'.
"Can't we Apparate or Floo or something?" asked George in a panic. Hermione gripped his hand tighter as another contraction came. "Or perhaps get some pain killers."
"She's too far along," Shannon told him. "It's much too dangerous. And I can't administer anything other than mild pain relief without a doctor."
"I meant for me!" George told her. His hand was starting to turn purple.
Hermione gave a yell of pain, not really paying any attention to what else was going on. "I think I can see a head!" Bill exclaimed. Fred looked and promptly fainted. Bill raised an eyebrow at this, but left his younger brother where he was. There were more important things to deal with than fainting Weasleys.
"I don't care if you can see a bloody head or not! Just get these babies out of me!" Hermione ordered.
"Congratulations, Hermione. You are now the mother of two very healthy babies."
As Shannon passed her son to her, Hermione held her breath slightly. It was completely unbelievable. George smiled warmly at her, squeezing her hand gently. "Well done," he whispered, gazing in awe at her. He looked at his daughter who was asleep in his arms.
"I can't believe it," he said.
"You're not the only one," Hermione said quietly. Running a finger along her son's cheek, she said, "I can't believe it's all over."
"It was all worth it." George couldn't stop staring at his daughter. His daughter. His daughter.
Fred had regained consciousness shortly before Hermione had delivered the second baby and quickly excused himself to the workshop where he came back with a bottle of bubble and some wine glasses. "So have you thought of any names yet?" asked Fred.
George and Hermione looked at each other. Hermione gave a slight nod. George was just about to say something when there were two small 'pop's' and Harry and Ron appeared, their arms full of an abundance of flowers, balloons and, of course, two giant teddy bears.
"I Flooed them," explained Fred. "I thought you'd want them to come." Hermione nodded gratefully, smiling at Fred. Ron was looking in wonder at his niece, whose blue eyes were wide open and staring at him.
"So what are they called, then?" asked Shannon.
"Well," started George, "we've been discussing names for a long time and we finally made a decision last night."
"And?" asked Ron, tearing his gaze away from his niece.
Hermione answered him, tiredness filling her voice. "You're newest nephew is Matthew Robert Jacob Weasley."
"And," continued George, "the newest female Weasley is Allison Elizabeth Piper Weasley."
"They sound perfect," said Harry.
"They should; It took us long enough to choose them," Hermione told him.
"This calls for a celebration," announced Fred. He held up the bottle of champagne. "Champagne anyone?"
A/N: Well, it's finally the end. My final author note and final review section. I sincerely hope you enjoyed this story as much as I did writing it. I also hope that the wait for the babies was worth it. Please review this chapter - I greatly appreciate your feedback: if it wasn't for people liking this so much, then I wouldn't have continued writing it, or I wouldn't have written so much.
At present I have no plans for a sequel, so don't ask for one. If I feel like writing one and the right plot comes to me, then I will, but until then, there won't be. I have rough plans for another Ge/Hr fic, though. The working title is something like 'Kiss Chase', though I hate that and so probably won't use it. It'll give you something to think about until I start writing it. In the mean time I am also going to start uploading this fic to the Astromony Tower. At the moment I am also writing 'The Spaces Between Shadows & Night' with another writer which is a Harry/Draco story and I am planning on continuing with one of my older fics which I have neglected. And there's the Buffy/HP crossover... Add in RL and you see why I don't update as often as I should.
A huge thank you to everyone who has reviewed this fic - I had no idea this fic would become so popular or that I'd make so many people like Ge/Hr - thank you for all your support: you've been wonderful.

Arguably one of the most well known heavy metal bands of the time, Slipknot, is making an appearance at the Red Rocks Amphitheater on August 19th as part of their summer tour.
Slipknot's musical style can be described as aggressive, energetic and extreme which pairs perfectly with the band's physical attention-grabbing stage presence. Their image incorporates matching uniforms, unique masks that reflect something out of a horror film, and individual personas differentiated by numbers on their jumpsuits. The band claims the masks not only create an image for the band but helps them focus more on the music during performances. Each new album comes with a new set of masks for each member that reflect the theme of the album. Though some have criticized the group's image over the years, they have consistently stood by their music and stage characters as their form of artistic expression.
Slipknot has released it's 5th album since the band started in 1995. The group started it's way up the ladder of success after touring for Ozzfest in 1999. Their songs Wait and Bleed and Spit It Out got radio airtime following the Ozzfest tour, but it was mostly word of mouth that made the band popular. In 2004 their third album, Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), reached the second spot on the Billboard Album charts showing that the band was reaching more diverse audiences than just heavy metal fans. The performance of their hit song from that album, Before I Forget, won the group a Grammy award for Best Metal Performance.
Fans and critiques alike were worried what the future would look like after the loss of one of the founding member Paul Gray six years ago. Though Gray played a huge roll in songwriting for the group, their newest album 5: The Gray Chapter has sparked a revival in the group's attitude and dedication to their music.

But I would like to rebuild my own cartoon character in 3d.
So, it would be great if someone would like to have the fun and make some cartoon sketches of my head from the front, side, top and back view.
I hope this forum is the right place,
please forgive me if I am wrong here.
thx a lot and best greetings,

Capitalism, in its right-most form, is every man for himself. A capitalism is set up so those who work hardest and work smartest (not counting get luckiest in this explanation) get more resources, which makes good sense, as until there are enough resources to accommodate everyone there will always be conflict. The only way to get more resources, after a certain extent, is to create it, which can only be done through increased technology, like agriculture, electricity, and the Internet.
Far left socialism is no less dangerous. Though I think the socialist ideal of a world cooperating and working together is good, the socialist model is not the way to do it.
The problem with the really far left model, involving equal work and equal distribution, has already been discussed in depth by many, so I will just briefly cover it. I suppose that seemed like a better alternative to capitalism-gone-wild (it prevents the wealth gap and the consequent abuse of the $ owned government), but the society based on this model quickly collapses. Look at Communist China, Cuba, or to a certain extent, today's Europe. Europe is still great, but the cracks are starting to show.
Capitalism is the best because they are to many people who are not willing to contribute to society. The only way for socialism to work properly is for everyone to decide to work and contribute to society. Unfortunately there are many people who refuse to be productive. Capitalism rewards those who attempt to better themselves.
Capitalism is responsible for colonialism, which is a large part of why these 6700 million people are poor and 300 million are wealthy.
The poster shows pictures of Hong Kong and Havana at 50 year intervals. This is apparently intended to be a rousing display of why capitalism is so much better than socialism. What it really says if you know any history at all is that the elite of the US calls the shots. The elite in the US exploits and helps and hinders as it pleases. The State - Corporate elite of the US.
There is no meritocracy in capitalism. Capitalist countries invariably end up as hereditary plutocracies, with a few very wealth people making decisions that benefit them.
And those decisions are, of course, anti - socialist. Why does Havana have cars from the 50s? Because they can't sell resources or buy resources to build cars. Because of a blockade - by the US, which has not yet been lifted.
Hong Kong looks how it does because that's where the rich of China and east Asia live. I guarantee if my the original poster were to post a picture of a proudly capitalist city that wasn't a colonial haven, such as Mexico City, he'd have a much less convincing rendition of the so called bountiful benefits of capitalism...
For every homeless person in the US, there are over 5 vacant homes, yet the government doesnt allow these people to live there. In socialism, everyone is provided with housing and free education. Its time to face it, capitalism only works for the rich whilr the poor suffer for being poor
Capitalism is where some people became rich and everybody else is poor. Unfortunately 67% said yes to capitalism, meaning that they prefer a fiew people to be rich and the others to live in miserie. This is petty depressing. We, normal people,of all countries, shouldn't tolerate that. Please be reasonable.

Kuala Lumpur, Oct 2 (ANI): Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister, Muhyiddin Yassin, has said that the government would extend 'sex education' classes in schools nationwide to deal with the rising rate of abortion in the country.
Yassin, who is also the Education Minister, said that creating an understanding of the reproductive system among the schoolchildren would make them aware of the ill effects of abortion.
"We are giving due attention to sex education because we believe it is one of the methods we can adopt to raise awareness among schoolchildren. We have set up a technical committee to look at the most suitable approach to use in extending the pilot project nationwide," The Star quoted him, as saying.
Yassin said that the council also agreed that a comprehensive action plan involving the government, private sector and non-governmental organisations was needed as part of a holistic approach to address baby dumping.
The announcement came following a positive response towards a pilot project, which had been implemented in five secondary schools in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Penang, Pahang and Kelantan five years ago.
The pioneer programme called "I am in control", was aimed at providing knowledge and creating awareness on healthy lifestyles, sexuality, pregnancy prevention, unsafe abortions, abandoned babies and sexually-transmitted disease among students, the paper said.
Over 300 Form Four students in the five urban and rural schools have already undergone the pioneer sex education programme.
Developed by the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) with the United Nations Population Fund and the Health Ministry, it was introduced in the schools as part of co-curricular activities. (ANI)

Almost every bank or credit union in Australia has special accounts that are structured for children.
Technically you are not permitted to gift this type of account to a minor in Australia, but a child will certainly benefit from one that is opened by a parent, grandparent or other guardian.
Gift savings accounts are available in countries such as the United States, where these types of accounts can be used to help cover the costs of a child's ongoing education. Switzerland also allows for gift savings accounts, but in this case there is no limit on what the balance may be used for.
What is a gift savings account?
In Australia, a parent or other guardian is permitted to open an account in the name of their child. These gift savings accounts are managed by the adult until the child reaches an age where they are mature enough to take on the responsibility themselves.
The money in the account is earning interest, and in order to be considered a child's account, cannot be used for normal child rearing expenses. Depending on the account balance, the child named on the account may be subject to tax on their interest earnings.
How does a gift savings account work for my grandchild?
Loretta has decided that this year for Christmas she is going to open a savings account in the name of her grandchild Brian with Suncorp Bank. With this account, her grandson can earn bonus interest when a monthly deposit requirement is met, and electronic deposits can be set up from her own bank account or from anyone else.
Since Brian is named as the primary account holder and is still a minor, there is no need to worry about having to pay taxes on the interest earned, so long as that amount does not exceed $416. If it does, then the child account holder will need to lodge a return with the Australian Tax Office at the conclusion of the tax year.
What are some other great financial gifts for children?
If you want to give a financial gift to a child that is not a basic savings account, you could think about a high interest savings account or a term deposit. Of course the same rules would apply in terms of tax on interest earnings and parental access, but a child will learn at a young age how to determine how much time and money is needed to help reach a financial goal.
For really young kids, start them off with a simple piggy bank where they put their spare change away for a rainy day purchase. With this type of financial gift for children, you can show them the cost of something they want to have, and then help them to see how quickly it can be purchased just by inserting a few cents a day.
An insurance bond can also be established in a child's name and work like a managed fund towards savings toward educational or other large expenses. There are also tax advantages to opening this type of gift savings product that make holding onto it for an extended period of time worthwhile.
Is Christmas the best time to give these gifts?
Gift savings accounts and other financial gifts for children can be given for any occasion, including Christmas. While a passbook with some numbers printed inside may not seem like a good substitute for the latest video game at the time, kids will quickly learn that a savings account is a gift that keeps on giving. Once the child has an established gift savings account, you can help make it grow with monetary gifts for birthdays, graduations and other special occasions.

Dylan Farrow, Woody Allen and 'Minding Our Business'
It all started with a few Tweets by Mia Farrow and son Ronan Farrow during the Golden Globes — just as Woody Allen was being honored with a lifetime achievement award. In less than 140 characters, the Farrows sharply alluded to allegations that the celebrated director had sexually abused Mia's adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow twenty-two years earlier, denouncing the man who had once been part of their family.
The tweets prompted a flurry of commentary across the internet, pushing the decades old case is back in the news. On Sunday, the story got even bigger when New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof published testimonial from Dylan Farrow herself in his column. Her wrenching account described the assault in detail, calling on Allen's fans to rethink their allegiance. Now, The Times says, Allen may respond with his own version of events in a follow-up essay.
What's true or untrue in this particular case is difficult to determine all these years later. What we do know for certain is that for all the attention sensational assault cases like the ones in Stuebenville or Delhi get in the headlines, many more cases of sexual abuse — the kind that take place quietly, behind the closed doors of private homes — go unreported and un-prosecuted. Ninety-three percent of juvenile sexual assault victims know their attacker, and in more than 1 in 3 cases, the attacker is a family member.
Sasha Weiss, an editor at NewYorker.com recently blogged about what the Farrow-Allen case has to teach us about the boundaries between private life and politics. It's a question Dr. Margaret Moon, Assistant Professor in Pediatrics and Clinical Medical Ethics at Johns Hopkins University has spent some time considering as well.

Amazing facial vintage scene with Mika Barthel and Dominique Saint Claire
Duration: 79min 50sec Views: 22 891 Submitted: 9 months ago Submitted by:
Description: France Lomay's husband (Jacques Gateau) is a salesman of sexy undies who calls on Dominique Sainte-Clair. She invites him to watch her and her husband (Dominique Aveline) have sex and then to join in. On a later occasion he goes with her and her husband to a swingers' club along with Karine Gambier. The receptionist is a brunette, presumably Deborah. Another couple are already present - the woman has dark curly hair (Sophie Duflot). Later Jacques Gateau visits Karine and the receptionist arrives and he watches a g/g session. Eventually he persuades his wife to come to the club and, once there, though reluctant at first, she is persuaded to join in the antics. Mika Barthel is present in this scene as well as Karine, Dominique Saint Claire and the receptionist, but not Sophie Duflot. Gabriel Pontello is also in this scene.

Photo Day!
We recently had the honor of working again with another one of our favorite photographers, Dave Marano of David Marano Photography. He is the expert behind all of our product shots here at Verve Jewelry and couldn't be more fun and easier to work with. Most of the time it doesn't even feel like work!
Here are some pics from the session. You can also check out his beautiful work at davidmarano.com.
Latest Photo Shoot
Just had the pleasure to work with an amazing group of VERY talented people on this last "BOHO ELEGANT" fashion shoot. I teamed up again with stylist, Brittany Hart of the Fashion Drug, Robert Meeks (Robert Meeks Photography) and Mikal Sky (Hair and make up). We booked gorgeous Karrah Wood (No Ties Management) to be this shoot's "Verve Babe" and she straight up ROCKED this shoot! Here are a few goodies.
Verve Jewelry Studio
Holiday events and new designs
Well HELLO! It has been some time since I have written a post. Bad, bad, BAD. But I have good excuses and I am here to rectify the situation.
It has been crazy around these parts and it look like it won't be mellowing out any time soon. Every year when Christmas approaches I get both terrified and happy. So much to do! Obviously for jewelry designers this is our time of year. Always a big time crunch to get all of my boutiques stocked up for the holidays and to create new items and attend all of the trunk shows and Christmas parties. But it is pretty dang fun and I find that my creativity always cranks up a notch during December. I have been busy in the studio this last week and I have to say, I am pretty excited about my new pieces. I had a request from one of my boutiques, Soto Lifestyle, to make some chunky necklaces that incorporated some vintage shoe clips and some of my vintage brass chain. I was pretty excited about the challenge because it was right up my alley (mixing in some vintage ) and I have never worked with shoe clips. So I got to hunting. I found some really cool pieces and I have been up late hours putting some new works together. SO FUN! I think the new pieces have a whole new look to them, but still have the Verve finger print. I also started to make some more pieces for my "Brass Monkey Line" incorporating the vintage brass chain with chunky stones. I got my hands on some big and chunky agate, quartz, labradorite and lapiz. It's been fun getting back into the heftier stuff since lately I have been focusing more on the daintier, wispier pieces.
The new pieces also will be nice to have for all of the upcoming holiday markets and trunk shows. We have (3) different ones just this week alone. Let the festivities begin!
First one is this Wednesday Dec. 4th. It is a toy drive at the Rockwell in Los Angeles. It is to support Children's Hospital Los Angeles and the cost of admission is an unwrapped, new toy. The host of the event is Jonathan Allen from "America's Got Talent".
The second thing we have going is we are partnering up with Liz Law Jewelry again and doing a trunk show at Co-op 28 in Los Feliz. This show is at 1728 N. Vermont Ave., Los Angeles, California 9002. We will be there from 1-4 pm with TONS of new items, snacks and sparkling wine! This is a fantastic store with TONS of possibilities for gifts! You could do all of your shopping just in this shop, on this day.
And last, but not least, is our Annual Holiday Market at our family's restaurant, The Wirtshaus. My husband is from Germany and almost 3 years ago we, along with his business partners, opened up a German beer garden here in Los Angeles. Every year we have a holiday market featuring vendors, Christmas music, drink specials and traditional German Christmas baked goods. We even have a tattoo artist that comes and does FREE tattoos! Only in LA. This event is from 11-4pm. We will have jewelry, women's clothes from local designers, soaps, candles, fresh baked bread vendors and BEER! We also have a delicious all you can eat buffet on Sundays and all you can drink mimosas and champagne. PROST!

Memories include, the erosion, sniggery woods, coronation park and the erratic glacier boulder, the boating lake. Fort Crosby, the bike shop at Brighton-le-sands. The swimming pool down on the shore, the big houses down merrilocks and Burbo Bank. The electric train, the BS (now gone I am told), the library (old one,not the new one at Waterloo). Woolies near the train stop at Waterloo.
The L23 and L30 buses into town, the list just goes on and on.
Left there 45 years ago and have never been back. Maybe I will go for a look, I did have a look on street view recently and it was very interesting.

One day, while looking for a unique gift for a baby shower, we had the idea of putting together a different sort of baby gift basket aka Diaper Cake. Rather than placing items in a basket, why not create a basket out of baby products. The baby gift basket went over at a baby shower and the rest is history.
At Lavish Baby Baskets, we are always on the hunt to make the next exciting baby gift basket creation! We only use the best diaper cakes for sale products and we assemble everything ourselves, giving it that unique touch.
Give a baby shower gift that stands out above the rest and will be cherished for years to come!

I like patterns and repetition. As a kid I toyed around with patterns of numbers … too much information, I admit, so I won't go into detail. But I do have a penchant for repeating motifs and find that my eye tends to travel around a room, absorbing all the details and looking for linking elements. In this room I enjoy the way the shape of the shield back chairs works with the linking scroll pattern of the wallpaper, and the way the painted detail on the floor matches the corner of the mirror (unintentionally, but happily), and connects to the Greek key banding on the drapes and the square geometric pattern on the chairs.'
Ever a girl in search of visual beauty, I must admit that beauty, for me, lies in a certain amount of harmony and order. At least if the guests at dinner are bored, they can play "connect the dots" to see if they can find all the linking elements! My main decorating rule about dining rooms is that they can't be too serious, and they need to help you have fun. (Why else would you go to the trouble of entertaining if you're not going to have a great time?)

I am planning on changing the oil in my front/rear diffs for the first time and i have a few questions (I read through some of the other topics, but still unsure) It says to add a 'slip additive" if you have a QD. How do you know if you have that? I have the 3.7 v6 loredo AWD. I have also been reading 2 quarts is about what you need to refill (I am planning on just pumping out old fluid) Do you just fill until the fluid starts coming out fill hole? Lastly what fluid do you recommend?
Sorry its so long, just my first time doing it and I dont want to screw anything up! thanks in advance guys!
PS: I know taking the diff. cover off is the proper way, but that seems a bit cumbersome for my 1st fluid change....
Re: Differentials
you dont need the additive. slowly fill until it leaks out and i use mobil 1
Re: Differentials
Awesome, thanks. Will it hurt anything to not do front/rear at the same time?
Re: Differentials
nope, it is easier to do them together though. you do not even need to jack up the jeep for the rear.
Re: Differentials
what fluid do you like for the transfer case?
Re: Differentials
The first time I did mine I used the dealers ATF-4, but I will be trying Royal Purple Max on my next change, a little bit on the high price but its once every several thousand miles, so its not really a biggie.....
Re: Differentials
i have the NV245 so i have to use fluid from the dealer. check what case you have and see what fluid you need. do not use anything other than what is recommended
Re: Differentials
Most of the debris and particles will be laying in the lower area of the diff, so when you just remove the fluid with a pump, you will keep the dirty part in and mix it again with the fresh fluid. You should better take a little bit more time and remove the covers and clean it out well.
Ofcourse its your Jeep, but if you plan to keep it for a while, i wouldn´t take the risk.
And regarding this:
Will it hurt anything to not do front/rear at the same time?
At the contrary, it will probably safe you some pain in the back when you don´t do both at the same time.:lol:
Re: Differentials
I agree taking it off it the correct way, but to be honest Im just worried ill mess something up....all the experience I have is youtube videos....
Re: Differentials
If you need slip stuff get some. I changed my diff
I did not put some in front and it is slipping when turning .
Re: Differentials
And I learned English watching porn...... You'll be fine brother! I go to YouTube for help too, so you are not alone!
Re: Differentials
The front diff has drain and fill plugs.also the cover has 1 of the mounts mounted to it, so you don't pull the front cover. Drive it around to warm it up before you drain it.this will help get the crud out as it won't be settled to the bottom.

The Magic Garden of George B and Other Logic Puzzles by Raymond Smullyan
English | 2015 | ISBN: 9814675059, 9814678554 | 176 pages | PDF | 12 MB
The author presents a bombshell puzzle so startling that it seems incredible that there could be any solution at all! But there is indeed a solution moreover, one that requires a chain of lesser puzzles to be solved first. The reader is thus taken on a journey through a maze of subsidiary problems that has all the earmarks of an entertaining detective story. This book leads the unwary reader into deep logical waters through seductively entertaining logic puzzles. One example is Boolean algebra with such weird looking equations as 1+1=0 a subject which today plays a vital role, not only in mathematical systems, but also in computer science and artificial intelligence.

text: Hi good buddies, used to be I had my PC set up thus: I began by installing Windows 7 RC1 on a freshly formatted HD, then proceeded to create a D-partition within C:\ where I installed Windows XP and ended up with a boot screen which gave me the choice to boot into Windows 7 (default, 30 sec. time-out) or else "Earlier versions of Windows" which booted into...yes, XP. All was fine until I had to reinstall Windows 7 the other day. I formatted the D: partition then did a clean install of Windows 7 on it, of course leaving C:\ untouched. Not such a smooth move it turns out as the PC now boots straight into Windows 7, no XP option. I have tried to correct this using Easy BCD, but am not sure what I should be entering, so I thought I'd put the question to you folks rather than mess things up further. Any suggestions for how the script should look? Thank you. Commander_Not_So_Cool

How different the latest Dagenham-built Fiesta, which sets class benchmarks for refinement and comfort, if not for space. Its new 1242cc engine, developed with the help of the Japanese motorcycle giant Yamaha, lives up to Ford's promise as the smoothest and quietest in its class. Not all Fiestas will get it, though. In an unusual (and confusing) three-tier arrangement, mid-range models get the new body but retain the old and inferior 1.3 motor, now called the Endura E. It costs less than the new Vetec SE engine, but is not so sweet or peppy. Pending the launch next year of its ultra- small city car, Ford will continue to make (in Spain) the old-shape Fiesta, known as the Fiesta Classic, to sustain its foothold at the bottom end of the market. But this, too, is denied the new engine.
There's no mistaking the chubby-cheeked newcomer, which is actually the old Fiesta in a smart new suit. Although the chassis and suspension have been extensively modified to improve crash safety, ride comfort, handling and noise suppression, they are basically evolutionary carry-overs. Not that you could tell from the all-new interior, which brings big-car attributes down to supermini level. The facia is particularly imposing - perhaps even a mite incongruous in its opulence at this lowly end of the market. Despite the test car's optional powered height/tilt adjuster that compromised the driving position, I found the Escort-style seats embracingly comfortable. The supple ride is a revelation, too.
The four trim/equipment packages - Encore, LX, Si and Ghia - cater for all tastes and pockets. Yet Ford seems unconcerned that the Fiesta, available with three doors or five, is less spacious than the Fiat Punto or VW Polo - two of its main rivals in a market sector that's doubled in size in the last two decades.
Small though it is, the new 16-valve, 1.25-litre engine gives sprightly performance - even more pep is promised from the alternative 90hp 1.4- litre engine, due next year - while economy, not zap, is the 1.8 diesel's forte. I was impressed with both transmissions, too: the five-speed manual has a crisp and easy gear change (the linkage and synchromesh have been improved), and the CTX automatic is very smooth; the getaway jerkiness that once marred it has been resolved. Because the engine is so quiet, you are spared the monotonous drone that afflicts most small cars - the new engine is barely audible when cruising, even though wind whoosh and tyre roar is muted. Cars of this size come no quieter.
With power steering, standard on some models, extra on others, the new Fiesta is light to drive and nimble with it. The options list also includes air conditioning, traction control, leather trim, and anti-lock brakes features expected on larger, more expensive cars but not on superminis. The driver's airbag is standard.
Ford Fiesta LX, around pounds 8,900 Engine 1242cc, four cylinders, 16 valves, 74bhp at 52OOrpm. Transmission: five-speed manual gearbox, front-wheel drive. Top speed 106mph, 0-60mph in 11.9 seconds, average consumption 42.2mpg.
Fiat Punto 75SX, pounds 7,874 Arguably the most stylish supermini, certainly one of the roomiest and best packaged. Keenly priced, very good value.
Rover 114 SLi, pounds 8,195 The old Metro under a new name. Nice engine and gearbox, cramped and dated body. Rides and handles well.
VW Polo 1.3CL, pounds 8,299 Stylish and well packaged, but 1.3 lacks pep and 1.6 costs more.Reuse content

An interview with our Senior Graphic Designer, Angela Balaam
Angela joined Mackman in 2008 and now leads our print-based media design projects. Angela also specialises in branding and more recently she has comfortably developed complementary skills in website design. Her project management skills are invaluable in our busy design studio… and her chocolate brownies are to die for.
Q: What is your working background?
A: Before Mackman I worked in Bury St. Edmunds for 8½ years: firstly at a design, PR and marketing company and then at an independent estate agents, where I created new advertising campaigns and promotional material for all of their offices in East Anglia.
Q: What is it like working at Mackman?
A: Mackman is a strong flexible team that is constantly working together to improve in every aspect of what we do. It's great to be back as part of a design team having worked as the only designer in the office for so long. I love having other design-minded colleagues to bounce ideas off.
Q: What lead you to a career in design?
A: I was always making things as a child, and I was surrounded by creative people in my family on both sides so it was a natural progression. I nearly went in to fashion. My tutor at art college recognised that I had a good eye for pattern and colour, and graphic design won out in the end!
Q: Favourite logo or ad?
A: The London Underground is a simple but classic logo and also the Tube Map, which is an excellent example of information design. Both are simple but highly effective. I also like the Ikea kitchen advert: very clever (always find him in the kitchen at parties…).
Q: What fires your imagination and inspires you?
A: My imagination is constantly active (sometimes a bit too much). I love collecting things like interesting seashells, pebbles and postcards (or anything else that catches my eye). I like to look to my surroundings for inspiration of colours, shapes etc. I am also a magazine addict and love to keep ahead of the seasons' trends.
Q: How would your colleagues describe you?
A: Organised, versatile, has a good sense of humour and loves stripes!
Q: What is important in your life, and how do you go about achieving it?
A: To be happy and healthy and make the most of each day. Spending time with family and friends (there's never enough time). I love to be outside when I can; in the garden pottering about or going for long walks by the coast. I also enjoy baking, especially chocolate brownies.
Q: What are your future goals?
A: To do the best I can throughout my life and to learn new skills along the way. With technology constantly changing and the design world evolving with it, it's good to keep pace with new developments, embrace new ideas and explore creative possibilities!
