Does it make difference while having SEX.
Hello MAM,
I just want to know that Why do Muslim and few Christian have a cut Pen**.
Does it make difference while having SEX.
Hi , I don't think Christians have circumcision , only us Muslims and Jewish who have it!
In the traditional and religious sense , it is acclaimed that having circumcision curbs
the enthusiasm towards having sex in an early age. When we grow up we develop hormones
that make us get attracted to the opposite sex and physical attraction in particular.
oohh yes it does.. it is believed to give more pleasure to u & ur partner.. & also many more benefits are there.. rowze & check all the medical benefits.. it is a trend in US for every guy to go for it.. coz of benefits.. all doctrs recommend it.
Live amongst people in such a manner that if you die they weep over you and if you are alive they crave for your company.
Hahahahahahah ......bro penis is never cut in circumcision rather its just the foreskin that is cut........secondly no relation with increased pleasure during sex...............thirdly its advantage is better hygiene so less chance of infection n cancer.......
Can't imagine cricket without sachin
agree wit paryans on al counts......
Circumcision will involve cutting away of the foreskin/prepuce if u may......this medicallymeans that the colonies of HPV or human papilloma virus that r homed in the smegma-the fluid in the fore-skin.....are wiped out......
thus circumcision reduces the chances of cervical cancer in women ....who hav sex wit uncircumcised males......
Also the dead space 4 harbouring any other STDs is eliminated by circumcision.
Back again!! Missed all u guys.
Brother, it is not a Fard or compulsory for a Muslim man to be circumcised. It is a Sunnah. It is Mustahab. It is encouraged. It is a Sunnah of Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh), which our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) also taught Muslim men to follow. Even in various other religions like Judaism and Christianity, a person should be circumcised. Even though it says that the Christian do not follow. It is mentioned in the Gospel of John, Chapter 7 Verse 22, that Moses (pbuh) brought the covenant of circumcision and in the Book of Acts Chapter 7, Verse 8 that the covenant of circumcision was given and that it is mentioned in the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 2 Verse 21 that Jesus Christ (pbuh) was circumcised on the eighth day. Inspite of this, the Christians do not follow the law of circumcision.
Male circumcision is among the rites of Islam and is part of the (in Arabic): fitrah, or the innate disposition and natural character and instinct of the human creation.
"What the Prophet (s.A.w.) means by Fitrah is that if these characteristics are followed by a man, he would be described as a man of Fitrah, which Allah (s.w.t.) has gifted his servants with, and encouraged them to follow, so that they attain a high degree of respectability and dignity."
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Five are the acts quite akin to fitrah:Circumcision, clipping or shaving the pubes, cutting the nails, plucking or shaving the hair under the armpits and clipping (or shaving) the moustache." (Reported in Bukhari & Muslim)
Allah ordered Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to follow the religion of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). When Allah says:
"Then We inspired you: 'Follow the religion of Ibrahim, the upright in Faith'."
(Qur'an 16:123)And part of the religion of Ibrahim is circumcision.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "The Prophet Ibrahim circumcised himself when he was eighty years old and he circumcised himself with an axe." (Related by Bukhari, Muslim & Ahmad.)
Ibn Abbas (r.a.) was asked "How old were you when the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) died?" He replied, "At that time I had been circumcised. At that time people did not circumcise the boys till they attained the age of puberty (Baligh)." (Bukhari)
Most Fuqaha' (Islamic Jurists) say that circumcision is obligatory upon the men and this is the opinion of Jumhur (the majority of the scholars). If it were not obligatory, then Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) would not have troubled himself at such a later stage of his life.
The Time for Circumcision:
During the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) circumcision was done for boys at the time of their Aqiqah (It's a traditional celebration for the birth of a child which involves the sacrifice of an animal in thanks to Allah. That's the short answer) as reported in al-Bayhaq.
Other Ahadith mention it being done later. The details here are not important but it goes without saying that this minor operation is easier on a baby than it is on an older boy. If it is essential, circumcision can be delayed for practical reasons, but it would be sensible to perform circumcision before the boy starts praying regularly due to practical purposes of simplifying Taharah, or being clean.
Abdullah Ibn Jabir (r.a.) and Aisha (r.a.) said:
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) performed the Aqiqah of al-Hasan and al-Hussein (the prophets grandsons) and circumcised them on the 7th. Day." (Related in al-Bayhaq & Tabarani)Imam Nawawi says:
"circumcision is recommended to be performed on the seventh day of infancy-the day of Aqiqah (Al-Majmu 1/303)
It is not essential for the child to remain as he is when he comes forth from his mother's womb, if there is something that may be done for him that serves a purpose and is enjoined by the pure religion. Such things include shaving his head after he is born, because that is in his best interests. The Prophet of Islam (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Remove the harm from him." The same applies to washing the blood from him and cutting the cord by which he was attached to his mother, and other things which are done to benefit him. 2 The health benefits: Dr. Muhammad 'Ali al-Baar (a member of the Royal College of Surgeons in the UK and a consultant to the Islamic Medicine department of the King Fahd Centre for Medical Research in the King Abdul Aziz University in Jeddah) says in his book al-Khitaan (Circumcision):"Circumcision of newborn boys (I.e., within the first month of life) brings numerous health benefits, including:1 Protection against local infection in the penis, which may result from the presence of the foreskin, causing tightening of the foreskin, which may lead to retention of urine or infections of the glans (tip) of the penis which require circumcision in order to treat these problems. In chronic cases, the child may be exposed to numerous diseases in the future, the most serious of which is cancer of the penis. 2 Infections of the urethra. Many studies have proven that uncircumcised boys are more exposed to infection of the urethra. In some studies the rate was 39 times more among uncircumcised boys. In other studies the rate was ten times more. Other studies showed that 95% of children who suffered from infections of the urethra were uncircumcised, whereas the rate among circumcised children did not exceed 5%. In children, infection of the urethra is serious in some cases. In the study by Wisewell on 88 children who suffered infections of the urethra, in 36 % of them, the same bacteria was found in the blood also. Three of them contracted meningitis, and two suffered renal failure. Two others died as a result of the spread of the micro-organisms throughout the body. 3 Protection against cancer of the penis: the studies agree that cancer of the penis is almost non-existent among circumcised men, whereas the rate among uncircumcised men is not insignificant. In the US the rate of penile cancer among circumcised men is zero, whilst among uncircumcised men it is 2.2 in every 100,000 of the uncircumcised population. As most of the inhabitants of the US are circumcised, the cases of this cancer there are between 750 and 1000 per year. If the population were not circumcised, the number of cases would reach 3000. In countries where boys are not circumcised, such as China, Uganda and Puerto Rico, penile cancer represents between 12-22 % of all cancers found in men; this is a very high percentage. 4 Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Researchers found that the STDs which are transmitted via sexual contact (usually because of fornication/adultery and homosexuality) spread more among those who are not circumcised, especially herpes, soft chancres, syphilis, candida, gonorrhea and genital warts. There are numerous modern studies which confirm that circumcision reduces the possibility of contracting AIDS when compared to their uncircumcised counterparts. But that does not rule out the possibility of a circumcised man contracting AIDS as the result of sexual contact with a person who has AIDS. Circumcision is not a protection against it, and there is no real way of protecting oneself against the many sexually transmitted diseases apart from avoiding fornication/adultery, promiscuity, homosexuality and other repugnant practices. (From this we can see the wisdom of Islamic sharee'ah in forbidding fornication/adultery and homosexuality). 5 Protection of wives against cervical cancer. Researchers have noted that the wives of circumcised men have less risk of getting cervical cancer than the wives of uncircumcised men.
In broad and simplest sense, there isn't any kind of religious regulations in circumcision. Though, in islam, circumcision was made mandatory due to hygienic reasons and also for of course, religious values. The reason for this was it was and is believed that while passing urine, few drops of urine remain on the outer part of foreskin which may or may not cause some urological disease and also, in islam, followers are to be in cleanest form before entering mosque or doing namaz. Thus, religiously, circumcision was made mandatory for them.
Now, the most basic difference between circumcised and uncircumcised penis is the sensitivity in glans penis, which ultimately serves in achieving heightened sexual pleasure. Uncircumcised penis is highly sensitive because it remains covered with foreskin, and thus remains sensitive and wet, whereas, uncircumcised gets as dry as walnut and also loses its sensitivity. Now, it doesn't mean they don't get pleasure while mating but it isn't as heightened as uncircumcised. Loosely, it can be compared with difference between sex with or without condom.

A cut penis is aesthetically more appealing (as Mrs Logical Guru and several others have pointed out). Also, Jesus was circumcised. That reason must be sufficient for you to take that nip.

Introducing Auntie Em's Organic Produce and Dinner Delivery Service
We bring the Farmers Market to You. Locally grown. Organic produce. Delivered to your doorstep. Save time. Save the planet.
One of my dreams has always been to have a farm with a few tables where I could serve fresh, homemade seasonal food to anyone who stopped by. At Auntie Em's Kitchen we celebrate fresh ingredients and know that locally grown produce makes everything you cook taste so much better.
Auntie Em's will now bring you locally grown, organic, seasonal produce and homemade reheatable meals and baked goods to your doorstep. Terri, tthe owner of Auntie Em's, will hand select the produce each week. We buy from farmers who grow beautiful produce. Nothing you will receive is "flown in" or shipped from other states and all of the farms are local. Your box of produce will be delivered once a week full of the season's tastiest produce. We deliver your produce to your doorstep in a custom made box on cold packs. You simply leave the empty box out on your doorstep the next week, and we replace it with another box full of yummy fruits and veggies. You can also leave your produce scraps in a box we provide you and we will compost them. In addition, you can add any of the seasonal homemade entrees, soups or baked goods listed on our order form. We will post on the website what you can expect to find in your box throughout the season, as well as the optional Ready-Made Meals and Baked Goods. Your box will be well balanced with vegetables and fruit that you can use throughout the week in your meals, or eat them whole. Your box will include the basics like onions, celery, garlic and carrots as well as more interesting fruits and veggies. Your order will also come with lovely herbs to make your soups and stews taste just right. It will include a "Weekly Featured Recipe" from the farmers or the chefs at Auntie Em's Kitchen to help inspire you to make a new dish from your personal bounty! These recipes will be added to the website each week for easy reference.
We started this service because we feel it is really needed on the eastside. We shop the farmers markets for the restaurant, and have established relationships with local farmers. Many people from the area have told us how they wish they could shop the farmers markets every week to feed there families better food, but like so many of us there is not enough time. So rather than you trying to find time in your schedule to make the trip, we can take the work out of it and bring it all right to your door. If there is a vegetable or fruit that you don't particularly like or are allergic to, you can note that in your profile, and we will be sure not to put that item in your box. We feel that it is important to support our local farmers and to eat healthy. We also hope this encourages you to be more creative and make tastier meals!

Report: Astros already shopping closer Brett Myers
Apr 15, 2012, 10:36 AM EDT
The Astros moved right-hander Brett Myers from the rotation to the back end of their bullpen for one simple reason: to increase his trade value. And Houston is apparently already looking to cash in.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today tweeted late Saturday night that the Jeff Luhnow-led 'Stros are "shopping" Myers, hoping to catch the interest of teams that have experienced early problems in the ninth inning (like, well, maybe the Giants).
Myers, 31, has allowed no runs and just one hit in two innings of work this season. He registered a 4.46 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 160/57 K/BB ratio across 216 innings (33 starts, one relief appearance) last year.
There isn't a great market for innings-eating starters, but in-contention teams are always looking for relief help near the middle of the summer. Myers might not be moved this month, but he'll be on the go eventually.

The roots of this week's school voucher mess stretch back to the 2012 session. Last year, the Republican Party's Masters of the Universe in Montgomery put up a charter school bill. There's nothing necessarily wrong there. The idea of alternative public schools first cropped up about 20 years ago in progressive Minnesota, which is hardly a hotbed of cranks. (Rep. Michele Bachmann not withstanding.)
OK, so far so good. The deal with charters is all in how the state creates the chartering mechanism. Do it right and it's a viable alternative. Do it wrong and it's nothing but a portal to funnel taxpayer money to shady, fly-by-night operations.
We're looking at you, Mississippi, which was recently rated to have the worst charter-school law in the nation.
To work to their fullest potential, charters need:
• Strict oversight. It should be difficult to get a charter and more difficult to keep it open. The schools will receive taxpayer dollars, so the application and ongoing review processes must be geared to protecting public money.
• Wide access for students. In a positive charter environment, there will be lots of options for students looking for something other than traditional public school. Some might instruct based on teaching through the arts. Others might prefer the Socratic method. Still another could prefer placing enrollees on a professional course — engineering or medicine, for example.
• What we might call "restricted freedom," meaning flexibility, on bureaucratic rules but tough scrutiny/testing to ensure the alternatives are actually, you know, working on the students.
The best part is that more than 40 states have adopted charters over the past two decades, so a handy list of do's and don'ts are assembled before us.
So, what did we get last year? A Rube Goldberg mechanism that would have capped the number of charters across the state at 20 or less. (Heck, a vigorous charter system in Jefferson County alone might establish 10 or more.) And too much deference toward administrators from traditional public schooling, which at best held the notion of charter schools at arm's length.
What's worse, even this timid proposal blew up in the faces of the governor and the Legislature. They failed to anticipate the friendly fire the bill would take, and it died a lonely death.
So, now Montgomery has taken last year's disaster and made it even more complicated through the Accountability Act of 2013. The measure was kept from public scrutiny until the last possible minute. It was denied a hearing where experts could speak on its pro's and con's. It was even kept from lawmakers likely to oppose it. It was kept from state Department of Education officials who must administer it.
Republican leaders of the House and Senate plus the governor have admitted their plot to keep critical voices in the dark until it was passed.
Even now, the plan's supporters can't say how much the act will cost the taxpayers.
Mature lawmakers don't pass laws in secret, breaking faith of the people in the process. Please, Montgomery, no more drama.

I have a 1986 Gerber made toilet that was leaking from somewhere so I decided to replace all the tank parts. Still leaking afterwards I found the source from a hair line crack running down the side of the water tank. The only way it looks like it can be fixed is to replace the whole tank. The toilet bowl is in great shape and I am really hopeing to replace just the tank and not the whole toilet.
Home Depot and Lowes in my area have a large selection where you can purchase a tank alone. My question is, obviously the new tank may not match the bowl aesthetically, but can any one of these tanks fit my toilet without leaking? Or is every tank like a key where it can only fit the bowl it came with?
My Bowl has a 1.6 GPF requirment and half the tanks at HD are 1.6GPF let through as well. So Gallons per flush wise they match?
Pics if they help: Thanks
Gerber didn't have a 1.6 bowl until 1992.
If your's is 1.6, it's not from 86
1986 would have been 5.0 or 3.5 gallons.
It's more important that the bowl match the tank. You may be better off picking up a used toilet is cost is an issue.
I throw out a dozen better bowls then that every week.
Ok that makes more sence now. I was going by the upstairs toilet which looks similar, it has a label for a 1.6 GPF and I guess that would explain the smaller opening at the bottom of the bowl.
Ok now this might sound insane (my knowledge in plumbing is not the best lol) but it might be crazy enough to work. Ive noticed that on some newer replacement tanks (mostly on older stock) there is either a flapper with a second hole in it or a "bucket" around the flapper the prevents the whole tank from emptying. Could I purchase one of these newer 1.6 GPF tanks and remove the water saving flapper and put in a regular one so the whole tank emptys out? My thinking is by draining the whole tank I could get the needed flush water.
Toilets with dams in the tanks haven't been made for about twenty years. It was a failed idea.
I took six of those out of a church last week.
Changing the flapper may work, switching to a 5.0 gallon flapper.
Many manufactures changed the bolt patterns to prevent a new 1.6 from being installed on a 3.5 bowl. You would have to experiment.
Thanks for the quick reply! Very helpful
Ok I did some thinking. The upstairs toilets are also Gerber but one of them looks different. The bowl is a 1.6 GPF/ 6.0 LPF and the tank uses an adjustable fluidmaster flapper I put in a while back. It closes well before the tank is emptyed out but it gets all the waste flushed away without issue. The tank uses 2 bolts like on the one leaking.
My thinking goes like this, put this tank downstairs to replace the one thats leaking and put in a new 1.6 flush tank from Home Depot or a similar looking one from a recycle shop on toilet upstairs. Im confident that the upstairs tank with a regular flapper will provide the needed flush capacity on the older downstairs model.
The only thing Im not sure about is whether or not interchanging toilet tanks will work without leaking. Both toilets in question upstairs and down stairs hold the tank down with two bolts and have a regular size flapper that you can get at Home Depot. The replacement tanks at Home Depot and the recycle shop come both in 2 and 3 bolt types.
Home Depot does not carry Gerber in my area (they might not at all) and the only Gerbers I could Find at the recycle yard were used ones that had that "bucket" thing in it.
Question out of all of this, can a replacement tank be from a different manufacturer then the bowl as long as it "fits"(has the 2 bolts)?
You have to measure the distance between the bolts holding the tank to the bowl. Then, measure how thick the tank is and where those holes are in relation to the seat. They are likely different, and even if they are the right distance apart L-R, they may not be F-R, so the tank either hits the wall, or you can't get the seat up. Then, since the hole for the flush valve has to line up as well as the holes that hold the tank on...you add yet another thing that must line up so it can work. The diameter of that flush hole makes a difference, too. You can play with the flapper valves to get the flush volume, but you can't play with the hole location...it will either fit or it won't.

Again thanks! I will measure them out.
I spoke with a HD guy and he says its best to replace the whole toilet since the right tank will have to be ordered from Gerber at a supply house and that will cost more. He also brought up there being no guarntee that the bowl wont crack either, dont think so being honset but he does have a point if the bowl will last any longer.
So my real question now is if you had to buy a new toilet which brand would you choose? Kohler Cadet TOTO American Standard...?
Home Depot Guy recommended this one saying its cheaper than a replacement tank, is it any good?:
A great quality toilet at a fair price (around 200 if you shop around) is the Toto Drake CST744S which is a 1.6 gpf toilet. The CST744e is a 1.28 which works great and may qualify for a watersense rebate in your jurisdiction which would cut the price. There aren't too many toilets sold by HD that we recommend on here.
Does Lowes have a better selection on that you would recommened?
My biggest request is that the toilet be durable over anything else. Dual flush is out of the question.
Terry installs the original Drake CST744S or CST744E in commercial applications like restaurants, churches, etc., as well as homes, so it's durable. A plumber wants to open the box, find everything is in perfect condition, install the toilet, and not come back. You're not going to use the toilet in a commercial application unless it has the fortitude to endure it.
And in my view it's a bargain for the quality at $200-ish.
Open the yellow pages to plumbing supply, and call around with the model number and color that you want, and compare prices, which will vary wildly. Look for something around $200. The toilet isn't available at the big box, but all the replacement parts are, except for the handle. The OEM replacement fill valve and flapper are made by Korky in the USA. Simple, solid design that will take you decades along.
By the way, I own two of them and the family loves them.
Toto also uses a valve made to its specs by Voreto in China. Most people like them fine; I recently yanked the one out of my Drake because I don't, and replaced it with a 528T (the 528MP also fits, and is available at Lowes as 528MPK), which I find quieter and which doesn't water hammer. But that's kind of a geek move based on personal preference. (My other Drake came with the 528T as original equipment. Which one you get just depends on which factory builds the tank.)

Im just wondering what do you mean by refill ratio? I guess it has something to do with the float height?
Do you know of new toilet brands that do take a 400 or already come with one from the factory? I know Im into tradition LOL.
Went looking around, and the 2 common brands here that look good to me are American Standard Cadet 3 and Kohler Wellworth. Both of these toilets like the TOTO drake Im told use an oversized flush flapper for maximum force. And come with a fluid master standard.
Before I purchase one this weekend, are these respectable models in terms of durability?
Is the oversize flush flapper/canister any good or should I go for a standard flapper?

You'll definitely have a hard time driving your car when your old Hyundai Elantra Tie Rod End finally malfunctions. Steering will certainly be inconsistent once the tie rod end incurs any kind of damage and wear, so regular maintenance is recommended. Never waste time replacing a defective tie rod end as it might really put you in danger and cost you big money if it completely breaks apart.
Expect loads of problems in your car's steering when the factory-installed tie rod end starts to fail. It's best not to operate a car if its OE tie rod ends haven't been replaced 'cause it will have excessive shimmy. The front alignment of the ride would be severely affected by a loose tie rod end, causing the car to suddenly pull to one side. Defective tie rod ends are even costlier to maintain as they accelerate tire deterioration and mess up the alignment of the automotive.
Here in Parts Train, looking for the perfect tie rod end isn't difficult. We've got a large selection of auto components from major manufacturers in the market. You can easily see a complete list of tie rod ends that correspond to your vehicle by viewing our massive catalog which includes brands such as Motorcraft, CTR and Ingalls Engineering. Never postpone replacing your busted Hyundai Elantra Tie Rod End 'cause it might wreck the operation of other related steering units.

Alternative file manager for Gnome
Keyboard Shortcuts
The developers mainly based navigation on Norton Commander or the text-based Midnight Commander [3]. For example, you can press the Tab key to toggle between the two directory panes.
The original design is also reflected in function key assignments such as F3 for the file viewer or F5 for copy.
If you prefer a mouse-oriented approach, Gnome Commander does give you this option. Double-clicking a directory makes changes to that directory.
A Nautilus-style address bar above the directory content is also very useful because it gives users a simple option for climbing up the directory tree. You can just click the required directory name to do so.
Remote Servers
In a world of global networks, modern file managers need to let users access all kinds of remote resources, such as WebDAV, ftp, SSH, and SMB.
The version tested for this article, version 1.2.6 from early June, supported ftp and SMB, with SSH and DAV support to follow shortly, according to the developers.
SMB and Ftp
By clicking the corresponding buttons, you can conveniently browse SMB shares – Gnome Commander will then show you the locations it has discovered.
For ftp access, go to the Connections menu, select New Connection, and type the server name (such as ftp.gnome.org) and, optionally, a directory name (Figure 1).
For ftp servers that require a user login, select FTP (with Login) in the Service type combobox; in addition, type your user name and password.
If you would like to store an ftp server connection in the program, click Remote Server in the same menu. If everything works out, you will see a button with an alias below the toolbox; now you will be able to access the resource directly.

Lately, I've been yearning for a new Sex and the City; well at least a show (scripted, please!) with women wearing the latest fashions who are likeable (no housewives, thanks) and maybe, only maybe a tad younger.
Michael Patrick King, the man who produced HBO's Sex and the City, has a new sitcom pitched to deliver some of what many women must be craving, but far from all of it. It has the city, the sex and the fashion ... with a cast from a *new-SAT-scoring* age. The set is Queens, the fashion isn't all high, and also unlike his older masterpiece, no one in this twosome is disproportionately wealthier - I guess that tastes quite savory after the unabashed overspending in Sex and the City 2, when Carrie joined the rest of the foursome in (matrimonial, for her, and even greater) fortune.
The series premiered last night on CBS (though it has the aura of The CW) at 9:30 p.m. Eastern Time, and like many pilots, it had jokes that fell flat and characters who were slow to bloom. The preview of next week also wasn't promising.
Still, there's good, even beyond the peeks at high fashion pieces (Chloé, Louboutin and Chanel [for the huge pearl necklace] made the accessories du nuit).
I can imagine myself commisserating and bonding over budget and style with Caroline, the former-heiress of a Madoff type; this rich "b*tch" and "dumb" blonde is actualy nice with a decent business mind and an SAT score in the 99.65 percentile.
The second broke girl is Max, the tough-talking hard worker who, I imagine, won't be keen on talking style with Caroline - which might mean this series is to leave us with a bad taste for fashion, but time will tell and I doubt that's desired by creators. What the girls can share is a business dream and at least some morality, with Max hopefully teaching Caroline to drop all of her inherited "shady business" instincts. Meanwhile, Caroline vowed to impose some self-esteem onto her cynical new friend.
It looks like the goal for this show's series finale, if these girls can make it there, is to strike it rich with a cupcake shop. While baked goods fare well today, the writing of this show threatens to not make anyone in its credits any richer.
Bottom line, if this series picks up, I may at least have some up-through-2011-fashion viewing pleasure met, but I doubt the substance of this show will ever have me addicted like King's queens of HBO. For now, I keep DVRing but I'm finicky, and not just with my own accessories.

Communism Bit: Off
Location: Job, of course
Gingko is back. The albino kitten, he is back. Y'all can grab him. I saw, Sybella, your comment. And, because I got Gingko back, that leaves me with two kittens to give away (Khalid being gone with Dusk, that Jazz and Spice girl). Check your mail for my number. My emissary sent it in the mail.
Also, Minty, I'm sorry about misplacing the credits for the word. I'm not as smart as you are, so you'll have to have pity. :o)
So, if you prefer a pure-white cat, you can have this one. Mainly because the one I don't mind having to kill is, you know, Shaka. >:o)
Blame the diabolical mood on something very close to heartbreak that I'm having right now. Very related.

Watch This DIY Sci-Fi Computer-Animated Student Short
by Perry Michael Simon on January 21, 2013
It's become commonplace for people to make their own animated shorts using just their computers, but even in an age when animation is a dime-a-dozen on YouTube and Vimeo, this one's in another league. Kaleb Lechowski, a 22-year-old student at the Berlin Mediadesign Hochschule, made this robots-vs.-aliens science fiction short, R'ha by himself (with a little help from a sound guy and a voice actor), and Mashable reports that he's gotten Hollywood attention for it. He's hoping to follow in the footsteps of District 9, which was derived from another sci-fi short. And it's impressive enough to warrant the attention.

Hammond >Lodging > Horseshoe Hotel Hammond
777 Casino Center Dr, Hammond, IL | Directions 4632041.693537 -87.508083
Editorial Review – Try your luck in this downtown casino attraction where locals and tourists leave empty handed or with stashed wallets.
Nice casino and easy to get to from Downtown Chicago! – I was in Chicago on business and bored one evening when I found out that you can pick up a free shuttle to the Horseshoe from the Hyatt. Why not? So I did and had a great night at the tables only to return w/ a few more hundreds in my pockets than I left w/. I found the casino to be nice, clean and had a friendly staff. Plenty of open tables, slots and video poker. I played blackjack and did pretty well. I have returned about 3-4 times since. Highly recommended.

After my last meal I had some buddies show up and i ended up having 3 beers like an hour after i ate. I know this isn't gonna kill me. I'm in my 4th week and am already swimming in pants that were too small for me 4 weeks ago .BUT what can i do to make sure those 3 beers won't screw me this coming week? anything? this is the first time I've drank beer in months. i did down like 2 quarts of water right before bed. this is also my first "slip up". i feel like an idiot.
According to Bill Phillips in BFL book the beer should only hamper your metabolic rate for about 3 days and then you'll be back on your way to losing again. But as you may realize, too many events like this will lessen the results of your overall Challenge in the way of loses and gains that are your goals. So chalk it up to experience, but continue on and Keep Moving Forward!!!
You sounded so funny in saying that you felt like an idiot. I am sure we all feel like an idiot at some point. It made me smile. But don't beat yourself up any longer. Now that you felt like an idiot, next time you let the idiots drink by themselves and have their bellies look like it too. But you are ON YOUR WAY!!! Keep it up. You are a winner.
I hear your frustration! I have created a Facebook group called "Body for Lifers!" just for this sort of vent!
The link is…
I just started the Body For Life program (8/15/12) and know I would enjoy having an easily accessible support group. I would like to have a forum where questions can be answered, encouragement given, progress celebrated and ideas generated.
Please come join us!
Congratulations for having the G-U-I-L-T.
You are halfway out of those 3 beers, keep this slip up as a firm reminder that we need to stick to our journey.
Avoid , Jump, Duck but keep moving.
If you had them on your free day no biggie at all. In fact it may accelerate your fat loss. Cut back on carbs for a day or two and push hard on your work outs and you will be ahead of the game
I laughed when you said "I feel like an idiot" I just came back from a 9 day trip to New York and My VERY LARGE customer wanted to have dinner and party a bit... so I tried NOT too, but my boss leaned over and said "you are making your customer feel bad" ARRGGH. SO I gave in. Had food I shouldn't have and had A glass of wine and 3 scotches (yes, women drink scotch -lol) but I felt like you and wrote to my group that my night was an EPIC FAIL.
But guess what? I lost 3 lbs this week.
I will not be doing that again, but I am not sweating it either. PEER PRESSURE SUCKS. I felt like an 18 year old dumbA$$ at the time.
You sound like you are doing awesome. Keep up the good work and enjoy your free day!
Great story Shellbells. You are doing great too, just keep going.
Thanks sorayarosaria!
It's not like playing golf and thinking I have to get 18 hole in one's in a row or totaly fail.
Let these things bounce off of you and keep going.
I don't think that cutting your carbs after the fact is best. You shouldn't be having "extra" carbs so changing up the plan will prevent you from having the energy you need.
Your Saturday / Sunday isn't going to kill you or this Contest. If there's a next time... Saturday is your free day. You took two this week. It happens. Move on.
Jessica Mighty Max ~ 2013 Body-for-LIFE Champion ~ Champion is a VERB!
I love Jessica's advice. It makes sense. It happened, move forward.

Dinosaurs probably snacked on the relatives of the cycads that you have in our yard today. Yes, cycads are those unique plants that resemble palm trees. The cycad family dominated the landscape during the Mesozoic era more than 150 million years ago. We are probably most familiar with the cycad called the sago palm.
Someone is giving away free trees? Jefferson County Master Gardeners, under the volunteer guidance of Glen Watz, will be giving away one-year old, bare-rooted seedlings to the local community. Get there early to get yours. The Campbell group is sharing trees with area residents on Friday, Feb. 10, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the Jefferson County Master Gardener test garden at the Jack Brooks Regional Airport.
We hear about the USDA hardiness zones and most garden centers sell plants with tags clearly marking which zone the plant is best suited for. With few exceptions, gardening success is vitally linked to selecting plants that suit your climate. Our area hardiness zones are Zone 8 and Zone 9.
If you want a low maintenance garden, stick with plants for your zone. But that being said, you can cheat the zones a little. It might be interesting to expand your plant palette and push the limits by creating microclimates.

Senior Cade Bradley, usually a dominating pitcher, had to pitch out of trouble in every inning but the sixth in Game 1. In the sixth, he retired the middle of the Yellow Jackets' lineup in order before his teammates scored three runs in the bottom of the frame for an 11-1 victory.
Glencoe got an unearned run in the top of the first and had runners on third and second with one out, looking for a big inning, when Bradley picked Daniel Otwell off third on a throw to Bayley Blanchard.
With two down and a runner on second, Collin Bradley scooped a hard-hit ground ball at first for the final out. In the Glencoe second, a leadoff single died at third base.
In the third came a one-out base hit that did no damage. Glencoe began the fourth with a double by Dalton Reid but Reid never reached third.
An infield single and a hit to leftfield put Yellow Jackets on third and first with no one out in the fifth. On a delayed steal, catcher Matt Strott threw to second baseman Caleb Adams in front of the bag. Adams' return throw arrived just ahead of the runner from third.
Strott blocked the plate and applied the tag for the first out. Bradley came back from a 3-0 count to strike out the next batter and Dillon Terry chased down a fly to right for the final out.
Down 1-0, Piedmont took the lead with three runs in the third. Cade Bradley doubled and scored on Strott's base hit. Cass McCord singled and later scored on an error. Collin Bradley had an RBI base hit.
In the fourth, McCord picked the perfect time for his first career home run. With the bases loaded, McCord jumped on the first pitch he saw and launched it over the leftfield fence, pushing Piedmont's lead to 7-1.
"He threw me a curve ball. I read it out of his hand and I just mashed it," McCord said.
In the fifth, Tyler Lusk was hit by a pitch and scored on Cade Bradley's two-out double.
Collin Bradley, Adams and Terry had an RBI each in the sixth.
Bradley struck out three in seven innings of work. He was 3-for-3 with an intentional walk. McCord had a double, a single and a walk in addition to his home run. He scored three times.
In the nightcap, the Bulldogs batted as the visitors and won 9-4 after scoring five times in the top of the ninth inning. With Terry on the mound for Piedmont, three runs in the first put Glencoe up 3-0.
"The first inning I was just a little tight, a little nervous, and then as the innings went on I just felt a little more loose and did what I had to do," Terry said.
Piedmont got three in the second and one in the third for a 4-3 edge but in the first seven innings the Bulldogs left the bases loaded three times and stranded a total of 14 runners.
"During the game, it was like, 'Oh my gosh, we've left so many guys on base it's going to come back and haunt us,' and sure enough it did," Blanchard said. "We got tied 4-4 there."
The tying run came in the fourth but Terry sandwiched two ground ball outs around a strikeout to leave the potential go-ahead run at third. Glencoe loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth. A pop up to second base and two splendid fielding plays, the first by Collin Bradley at first and the last by Adams at second, ended the inning with no damage.
Piedmont's defense rose to occasion again in the seventh. With two outs and runners on second and first, cleanup batter Will Parker hit a sharp single through the box and into centerfield. McCord charged the ball and made a perfect throw to Strott, blocking the plate, for the third out.
Terry walked to start the ninth and Taylor Hayes bunted him to second base. Tyler Lusk hit an 0-2 fast ball sharply up the middle into centerfield and Terry scored from second when the throw home was cut off at the mound. Lusk's hit put the Bulldogs back at the top of the order and four consecutive hits followed. Cade Bradley doubled and Strott doubled home two more runs. McCord singled and Collin Bradley ended the scoring surge with a two-run double.
Payton Young's two-run home run in the second, his seventh bomb of the season, started the scoring for Piedmont. Singles by Adams and Terry set the table for Cade Bradley's two-out RBI single to left. The Piedmont third began with Collin Bradley's single. Young's base hit moved Bradley into scoring position and Adams' single to right made it 4-3 Piedmont.
Terry, who retired the Yellow Jackets in order in the eighth, knocked down a line drive hit directly at him and threw to first for the initial out in the bottom of the ninth and Cade Bradley gobbled up a ground ball to shortstop for out No. 2. After a base hit, Terry completed the longest outing of his pitching career with his fifth strikeout of the night.
"There were so many plays. … We played 10 kids in the game and I think all 10 of them did something. Whether it was a pitch, it was a catch, it was a throw, it was a hit – every one of them contributed something big to win that ball game," Blanchard said.

The best! – The staff at California Cafe made my birthday dinner totally memorable. I felt like they rolled out the red carpet the minute I walked in the door, doted on me all evening and they are now my favorite spot in LG. The food was awesome and even though they were busy, we got close parking and fast friendly service.
Love this california cafe. Its got a very california feel to the inside.. Im from utah so i can tell.
Table for Six had an event at California Cafe. We had really, really had a good time here. I would remember this restaurant to anyone. Every one was so nice, helpful and especially friendly.
Great Place!

Tastey Dinner Options and Drinks – I have been to California Cafe several times and I always receive good food and good service. My husband and I even had our Rehearsal Dinner here of which they were extremely accomodating and offered wonderful service and dishes for a large group of 40 people (a majority of people ordered the filet mignon and everyone received it hot and impeccable).
Sometimes the service can be spotty but the food is always right on target. Last time I was there, a waiter assistant served us the Three Way starter we ordered and upon placing the plate down, had 1/3rd of the food slide right off the plate and on to the table. He apologized, walked away, and didn't return. Strange but we didn't argue and the food was still good.
Their calamari is excellent! Served with a sweet sauce and never rubbery. They offer plenty of meat options as well as seafood and vegetarian. Their menu (and mixed drinks) change often which makes it very fun to frequently revisit. Over the past holiday they offered a Sangria with apple and cinnamon as well as a pomegranate margarita. Excellent!
You owe it to yourself to visit this restaurant several times throughout the year.
Editorial Review by Citysearch Staff – California chain known for exemplary service cranks up the class in Los Gatos.
Great for a Chain – I've enjoyed Cal Cafe over the past 10 years on many occasions. Sometimes for business meetings in the bar, for lunch, banquets and a few times for dinner. The food has fluctuated between good and average. The current chef seems to know what's going on because the the last few times I have been to lunch were banquets and what I thought would be another rubber-chicken experience. Not so.....I was impressed with the salmon and the chicken dishes. The staff is friendly and efficient.
Not the California Cafe I Remembered?! – The menu looked impressive, but what a huge disappointment. Food was cold and overcooked. The service was slow and unattentive. The bar failed on at least four occasions with three different customers to be able to pour a simple Martini! California Cafe used to be one of my favorite restaurants...too bad it just a faded memory now...
love this place! – I have been here several times and am always impressed. the butternut squash soup is incredible, they serve wild salmon and have fun and healthy drinks. Some of thier dishes have a slight asian flare, however if that is not your thing there is plenty on the menu for you as well. They even hand out recipes!
Simple elegance – The sophisticated atmosphere and well-presented dishes make this place perfect for special occasions. With a picturesque view of the Santa Cruz Mountains and Los Gatos Creek Trail, brunch tastes all the more wonderful. The prices are a bit steep for everyday dining, but fine for a treat.
fantastic food!!! – we had dinner here the other night and were blown away at the level of execution in the kitchen. everything tasted so fantastic! we started off with the cheese plate that was paired with honey comb, fresh strawberries, nuts and crostini. they served it all on this great looking marble piece. the tuna sashimi small plate was excellent too but the winner was the ribeye that seemed to melt in my mouth. the bar, although a great space, was a little lacking but that may have been because we came for an early dinner. definitely a hot spot, i cant wait to come back and try a meal on their gorgeous patio.

Skynyrd.....they never disappoint. Long live SKYNYRD, BLUES and good ol' ROCK & ROLL!!!
Bob Price // March 22, 2010 1:10:47 PM UTC
To all that responded; you guys need to reflect on how Lynyrd Skynyrd came to be. Think about their first "concert" as openers for the who,first time they saw 20+ thousand people.
also, think about the other greatest rock band from the south, The Allman Brothers band. and the freesprited "skybird" Duwayne.yes they are one band for the history books but it took alot of friends to get them where they are.
remember Gary Rossing is the only orignal member of the great Skynyrd, ask him or Dale Krantz Rossington(wife). That man has survived by gods will and Garys drive to keep going and that took alot. Thanks for listening.
Mad Man Mart // March 20, 2010 3:15:46 AM UTC

These guys just keep telling it like it is. That's what makes America great & Southern Rock is AMERICAN MUSIC. It's about how we work, play & pray. Keep putting out the tunes because we are all part of the Skynyrd Nation!
SPARTAKUS // February 14, 2010 9:18:30 AM UTC
simple life is definitely how it should be again. If everyone could do an act of kindness everyday things could be better, and maybe if it doesn't hurt do more . Like mom always said treat other people the way you want to be treated, if that person takes advantage leave them and give it to the next one, god knows its karma you will be rewarded
the bird 78 // February 11, 2010 11:50:44 AM UTC
YES!!!!!! The simple life tells all.....In these days of hurry, hurry, hurry, and the stress that can be caused, and all the impotrance put in the wrong places a song like the SIMPLE LIFE is just what we need....I just love SIMPLE MAN and try my best to live this way/ with my family needs taken care of what the hell do I have to worry about...right.......Keep the good stuff comin boy's...ROCK ON AND KEEP IT REAL

"...how it used to be".In these days of so much so fast and forgotten old values,some of us are still blessed to be living the simple life.In my humble opinion the best way to live there is...thanks for the reminder.

Stellar early-season helps make the case for summer practices
Story Highlights
Added practice time over the summer has contributed to great early-season play
PG Lorenzo Brown was MIA in NC State's disappointing loss to Oklahoma State
When Khem Birch, Jabari Brown become eligible, UNLV, Missouri will get a boost
As you might imagine, I watch a lot of college basketball. Between live games, the TV, the DVR and my laptop, I can pretty much watch from morning til night. I hit this especially hard during the first few weeks of the season so I can familiarize myself with all the new faces in new places.
The season is just a couple of weeks old, but I have noticed something significant: These games are good. I don't just mean that they're close; a game can be close but poorly played. I'm talking about the quality of play -- particularly on offense, which is usually lagging this time of year. Passes seem crisper. Shot selection seems better. I'm also seeing smarter defense, fewer fouls, more teamwork.
You may have noticed this while reading the coverage of last week's Champions Classic featuring Michigan State, Kansas, Duke and Kentucky. The message from the courtside scribes was the same. Is it really only November?
I asked myself the same question while while attending the Coaches Vs. Cancer Classic at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn last weekend. In a Friday night semifinal, Saint Joseph's beat Notre Dame in a scintillating overtime game in which neither team committed a foul in the first 13 minutes. The next night, a Florida State team with seven new players beat Saint Joseph's by shooting 54.5 percent from the field, committing just 11 turnovers, and dishing 21 assists on 30 made field goals. Keep in mind this is not a program that is known for its offensive efficiency even late in the season.
It occurred to me that there might be a reason for this. This past summer, for the very first time, coaches were permitted to conduct full team practices for players who were enrolled in summer school. During a seven-week period, coaches were allotted eight hours of floor work, and no more than two hours per week. Eight hours might not seem like much, so I asked a few coaches if my theory was on the mark. Here's what they said:
Florida State's Leonard Hamilton: "No question about it."
Maryland's Mark Turgeon: "I don't think there's any question."
Notre Dame's Mike Brey: "No question."
Kansas' Bill Self: "No question it was helpful."
I guess that answers my question.
I concede the evidence for this is purely anecdotal. I asked the folks at Stats LLC to run some numbers for me comparing this season to the previous five in various offensive categories. There was no discernible difference. Still, I know what my eyes are telling me, and these coaches' eyes are telling them the same thing. "I see a lot more attention to detail," Hamilton said. "I'd hate to think where we'd be right now had I not had the opportunity to work with them in the summer."
Each coach used the eight hours for his own purposes. Since Hamilton has all those freshmen, he spent much of that time installing aspects of his motion offense. Brey returned most of his starters from last season but has added a transfer and some freshmen, so he carved out extra time for five-on-five work so he could watch them play. Self and Turgeon both installed a variety of offensive sets. "We got zoned last night [by LIU-Brooklyn], but we were ready for it because we were able to practice six or seven times already against a zone," Turgeon said. "I wouldn't have been able to do that in the past."
The coaches also pointed out ancillary benefits. "We have a much closer relationship with our players than we've had in earlier years," Hamilton said. "Our guys are more comfortable coming around the office because we've been in communication a lot more. I see a close bond." Brey also noticed that the extra workouts helped his freshmen deal with the academic adjustment. "Usually they're getting beat up in summer school, but this gave them a chance to develop their basketball, which is what they do well," he said. "They leave with their heads up." Self thinks the extra time has helped his players relate to each other better. "The chemistry was forged in June instead of August. Players aren't as shell-shocked when practice starts."
The new rule came on top of a change made several years go providing similar opportunities in the fall. A lot of these teams are also taking off-season foreign trips, which gives them 10 additional days of practice. During an era in which scoring has been on a steady decline, college teams need all the practice time they can get to sharpen their skills and develop chemistry.
Frankly, I don't know why there are any restrictions on when and how long coaches can work with their own players. As far as I'm concerned, they should be able to start full practices whenever they want. Part of the reasoning behind making everyone wait until Oct. 15 is the concern that coaches would overwork their players, but I don't believe that would be the case. The last thing a coach wants is for his guys to be burned out before the season's first game.
The rule change regarding summer workouts has helped the game, but in this case, eight is not enough. I hope the NCAA continues to allot more hours so coaches can interact even more with their players. These guys got into this profession because they love to teach. Their players want to get better. This is college, after all. Let 'em go to school.
After visiting Columbus last month, I called Ohio State's 6-foot-11 sophomore center Amir Williams the Buckeyes' X-factor. In Ohio State's first three games, Williams has a total of eight points and seven rebounds. Guess he's not much of a factor yet.
I'm really rooting for Memphis junior point guard Joe Jackson. He's a local kid who came in with ridiculous be-our-savior expectations, and for a while it screwed with his head. He seems to have settled in now, and I think that he (and the Tigers) are gonna have a big year.
BYU may have lost two games at the Coaches Vs. Cancer Classic in Brooklyn, but the Cougars have some kind of player in 6-5 sophomore Tyler Haws. Unlike most players coming off a two-year LDS mission, Haws is sharp and in terrific condition. Plus, he does it all: He's averaging 22 points (on 36 percent three-point shooting) as well as seven rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.8 steals.
Saint Joseph's can also leave Brooklyn believing it has a great chance to win the Atlantic 10, but that chance will be greater if C.J. Aiken stops hoisting ill-advised threes. The 6-9 junior is one of the nation's top shot blockers, but for some reason he thought it was a good idea to launch five three-pointers against the Seminoles. He made none. Get on the block, big fella, and go to work.
I still like San Diego State, but the Aztecs have got to find a way to get some more inside scoring.
It takes an entire team to get blown out by 20, but I have to say N.C. State point guard Lorenzo Brown is not off to a good start. Though he played well in the Wolfpack's win over UMass (10 assists, three turnovers), Brown was MIA in the win over Penn State (1-for-10 shooting) and the loss to Oklahoma State (one assist, seven turnovers). ESPN's Dan Dakich may have said it best: "It looks to me like he has been reading his own press clippings."
Nice bounceback win for Washington against Seton Hall on Saturday following the loss at home to Albany. Scott Suggs must be real important to that team. The 6-6 senior left the Albany game in the second minute after suffering a concussion, but he played 32 minutes against the Pirates and had 15 points. He scored 11 in the loss to Ohio State.
Michigan is not your father's John Beilein-coached team. These dudes can get out and go.
Let's get this out of the way early, shall we? When you're at home, you can shoot threes. When you're on the road, you've gotta shoot free throws. Class dismissed.
If UConn keeps winning, there will be a lot of pressure on athletic director Warde Manuel to give Kevin Ollie a long-term deal before the season is over. I think he should resist. Since the early signing period for recruiting is done, and the spring signing period doesn't begin until after the season is over, there is no need to rush this. If Ollie deserves the job, he'll get it. (It doesn't hurt, incidentally, that he just donated $100,000 towards a new practice facility.)

The interminable wait for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is - somehow - almost over. We never thought we'd really get here. After a decade-long journey, you just know J.K. Rowling is going to take the series out with a bang. She's claimed that at least two important characters will die and we're willing to bet it will be a few more than that. Rowling has made a point of refusing to say that Harry will come out alive, going so far as to publicly muse how compelling it would be to kill him off.
Celebrities from Stephen King to Damon Lindelof have weighed in on Harry's fate - now it's our turn. Here are our theories on the fates of the wizards in Harry Potter's world.

Summary of Back to You Summary of Back to You Reviews for Back to You An Excerpt from Back to You
Award-winning author Robin Kaye proves that home is where the heart is, even for the bad boys of Red Hook, Brooklyn ….
It would take a miracle for Storm Decker to return to Red Hook—or a tragedy. The neighborhood holds too many painful memories of his troubled childhood, along with the mistake that sent him running from the kindness of the ex-cop he'd come to consider his father. But when Pete suddenly falls ill, Storm is called home to face the past he tried to leave behind long ago…
Breanna Collins never expected to see Storm again after he left town without a word, breaking her heart. She's angry that he can't seem to appreciate all the changes in their hometown. But she still feels a powerful connection to her old flame. And unless she can remind him of all the reasons to stay, she knows he'll never stick around long enough to give their romance the second chance it deserves….
