OK, I take conceptual shortcuts. Sue me.
I see a parallel here to the swarming of the devout in an attempt to protect their cherished memeplex against intellectual invaders.
Religion is a large self replicating cultural organism. The best play of its members (stupid people) who are incapable of individually protecting themselves against scientific attack is to gang together under a (wrong but) consistent banner. It's also the best play of the organism (hive/religion).
The battle is fun to watch, but I'm not yet making bets on the outcome. Science takes LOTS more effort and equipment than religion and has yet to show more than a couple of hundred years of success. Religion has been semi-stable for millenia.

I was working in the field, counting forging trips made by Polybia workers (small paper wasps), when a robber fly got to close to the nest. The fly was easily over an inch, while the wasps were a little less than 1/2 inch. But the wasps swarmed the fly. And spent the next ten minutes slowly ripping the fly apart.
The next day I watch a group of Crematogaster ants (less than a 1/4 of an inch) swarm and kill of an entire Polybia colony.

What I always find particularly interesting about this hornet vs bee interaction is how European honeybees are decimated by the hornets. I always found the heat ball defense a particularly ingenious method of defense. It is rare to find examples of introduced species being completely screwed over by the native species and this is definitely the most powerful example.

Your membership number is found above your name on all mailings from US Lacrosse including your membership card, renewal notices and your magazine label. If we have a valid and legible e-mail address, your number was also sent to you when you renewed/joined. You can also visit our member search page and enter the requested fields.
New and renewing members must either submit an application or register securely online. An application may be downloaded or one can be mailed or faxed to you by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Standard processing time for faxed or mailed applications is 2 business days.
A membership is good for 12 months for members that renew by the due date. The memberships for officials all expire as of September 30, regardless of when the official joined. Any official that joins or renews after September 30 will have their membership for less than 12 months. The fees are still the entire amount for one year (not pro-rated) and the membership is nonrefundable. Members who are cross participants including the official category will also have their membership expire on September 30. You will begin to receive e-mails two months before your membership expires and an application in the mail the month before your expiration date.

Some members have noticed that the address label on the magazine is now being printed upside down. This is not a printing error. This is a new requirement from the USPS for periodicals using co-mail (which we do).

The long and short(ish) of it is this…
We have had a slow cooker (Crock-Pot) tucked away deep, deep in our kitchen cupboard for a serious long time. I am talking…we haven't even ever really touched this bad boy! Took it out of it's box years ago…and never used it!!! Who knows why??? Didn't bust it out until NOW…a Crock virgin no-longer. Crazy talk right!?! Sure is! I honestly can't believe what we have been missin'. A sweet ass invention, a set-it-and-forget-it kinda deal! It doesn't get much better than that. Ohhhh…the possibilities…Stay tuned for a yummy pulled-pork recipe that is in the works!
So, if you have one…take my word and use it! If you don't own one…a damn good investment. A friend inspired me to dust mine off and give it a whirl. So glad I did. The elk meat ended up being so tender, basically melt in your mouth/fall apart styles. YUM! The rosemary and red wine combo also adds an abundance of flavour. Honestly, one of our best recipes yet. We put this in the slow cooker last Sunday night before bed…and it was ready in the morning (the to-die-for smell actually woke us out of our sleep mid-night) and lasted us both (husband and myself) for 3 + meals this week!!! Going to make it again today!
The photo pictured above was taken at the beginning of the cooking process. As the stew cooks slowly in the Crock-Pot, it naturally thickened on it's own. I did not need to add in a thickening agent, but if you find you need to – try some coconut flour!
|rosemary elk stew
- 2 lbs grass-fed elk stewing meat
- 1/2 container of broth
- 1 can of diced tomatoes (minimal ingredients)
- a splash or two of red wine (optional)
- 2 stalks of celery – chopped
- 1 package mushrooms – sliced
- 3 large carrots (I used rainbow ones) – chopped
- 2 sweet potatoes – peeled and diced
- 1/2 head of cauliflower – chopped
- 1/2 head of broccoli – chopped
- 1-2 red/orange pepper – chopped
- 5 shallots – whole
- 10-12 cloves of garlic – whole
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary – whole
- sea salt
- ground pepper
- start by searing your elk meat (chunks) in a skillet on top of the stove (no need to overcook though, just brown/crisp the outside)
- remove and throw in your slow cooker
- next, wash all your veggies and cut them up into similar sized chunks
- toss them in your slow cooker as well
- pour in your liquid(ish) ingredients – broth, wine and diced tomatoes (canned) – note liquid in slow cooker should come up about 3/4 of the way
- stir in the sprigs of rosemary and/or any other desired seasoning
- set your slow cooker on low and cook for 8-10 hours
- remove rosemary sprigs
- fill up your bowl
- enjoy!
• if you don't have access to elk…no worries…beef will do! You could even try it with certain cuts of pork or lamb. Also, the veggies that I used are not 'set in stone' – use whatever you have on hand, what is in-season or anything that you need to get rid of from the fridge! A scrumptious meal that is super simple, filling and comforting as the days get cooler!
Want another Paleo Crock-Pot idea? A friend of mine suggested that I try this…and I think it just sounds too good not to! "Get some beef shanks. After slightly browning them in a pan, throw 'em in the crocker with some coconut milk. Add lots of anti-inflammatory spices like garlic, ginger, turmeric, onions. Then, some carrots or apples for a little sweetness. Thank me later!"

Seattle Police said Thursday that they made an arrest in the May 24 killing of Justin Ferrari -- the Seattle man who was killed by random gunfire when he was driving through an intersection in the Central District.
Andrew Jermain Patterson, 20, was arrested Thursday at a home in Federal Way. He was booked shortly after 5 p.m. on homicide investigation. He was being held at the Seattle Correctional Facility.
SPD said they made the arrest after combing through surveillance footage and working with the gang unit to chase down leads on the suspect.
According to the Seattle Times, "The gunman was wearing a distinctive jacket and shirt that were picked up on surveillance video, according to a person close to the investigation. That video was shown around to various people and a name developed from that."
The 42-year-old Ferrari died after being hit by a stray bullet while driving family members to a Memorial Day weekend getaway. The incident occurred near the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Way and E. Cherry St.

Agros has an open-door policy: all who desire to be a part of our work are welcome, regardless of religious preference or background. Agros has always had a policy of working and serving people in need regardless of race or religion, and we welcome volunteers and supporters from all backgrounds. Our mission and methods are predominantly derived from the following core principles:
1. Participation
We intentionally strive for our activities and strategies to be shaped by the people and cultures we serve. Groups and organizations in Agros projects work to involve all members in planning, decision-making and monitoring of their own projects. Participants in projects work together to achieve their self-defined vision and objectives. An effective project encourages women and men to share in leadership, decision-making, ownership, and benefits.
2. Justice and Service to the Poor
Agros projects serve people who are poor in material terms – those who have been socially disadvantaged and traumatized by social and political circumstances. We recognize that poverty is a complex reality and strive to recognize and restore the inherent dignity of the people we serve.
3. Sustainability
Sustainable development involves strategies that ensure long-term ecological, economic and social stability. Agros material and financial support is for a limited time. Therefore, villages and families must eventually support themselves through productive enterprises, viable social structures, and sustainable management of natural resources.
4. Training and Human Development
Agros projects respect the knowledge, spirituality, and experience of the people while providing opportunities for learning new skills. Agros supports training that brings about change in the whole person and the whole community to carry out its mission.
5. Spirituality
To move to a new vision of a transformed life requires putting our faith to work and practicing spiritual values and principles. Agros supports projects that contribute to healing of relationships, and to the emergence of both physical and spiritual well being, as well as justice and peace. Agros respects the spirituality of others and serves people irrespective of creed, race, or ethnic origin.
6. Dignity and Livelihood Through Land Ownership
Agros projects give people hope, dignity and opportunities to overcome past trauma. An adequate amount of fertile land, with water, plant and tree cover, provides for diversified agricultural production. People work together for a better economic, social and communal future. Agros projects give people of limited resources the opportunity to own land, build communities, and enjoy legal rights and democratic representation.
7. Accountability and Responsibility
Those who pay for goods and services retain a certain dignity and develop a stronger sense of ownership. Careful monitoring of costs and plans for repaying credit is important in Agros projects. Project groups and partner organizations are expected to keep good records, report on a timely basis, and take responsibility to work toward the goals and objectives of the project agreement. Agros understands accountability to be two-way – that is, in any agreement each party is responsible to the other to fulfill commitments and promises.
8. Relationships and Solidarity
Agros works in collaboration with others to accomplish its mission. Agros projects provide a bridge between people of means and those of scarce resources. Agros desires partnerships with national and international non-governmental organizations, local and national governmental entities, churches and community-based organizations to carry out its mission.
9. A Caring and Sharing Community
Agros believes that poverty can be solved if people are committed to sharing what they have and caring for others. In community-based projects, the people, with Agros support, plan and work together for mutual help in obtaining multiple basic needs and opportunities to improve their lives; i.e. houses, potable water, schools, roads, health and sanitation. People reach out to the less fortunate neighbor with acts of kindness and compassion.

While America is finally winning the war in Iraq, the global effort against the Islamic jihad goes on. In Afghanistan, the war with al-Qaeda is still raging. In Gaza, Hamas continues to launch genocidal attacks against Israeli towns. Meanwhile, on American college campuses a coalition of organizations connected to the jihad network demonizes America and Israel. This coalition carries on its agendas of hate with the unwitting collaboration of student governments and university administrations.
In October 2007, more than one hundred campuses hosted Islamo-Fascism Awareness weeks to make university communities aware of the Islamist threat and the danger it poses.

Now we know what the "B" in "B Movies" stands for.
It stands for Buffalo! Because only in Buffalo would you find a holiday event titled:
UNYTS Ugly Christmas Sweater Blood Drive by Buffalo Zombies for Charity
The event takes place at the blood donation center at 96 Niagara St, Tonawanda (near Tops plaza) on Thursday -- that's Dec. 5 -- from 10 am to 8 pm. It is sponsored by the charity-minded Terror Technologies (motto: "We Play Dead So Others May Live").
The zombies invite: "Please call now and schedule your appointment at 512-7940. They further invite: "Please wear your Ugly Christmas Sweater or Shirt and have your photo taken during your donation."
Wow, cool! Does that mean as we are wearing our kitschy reindeer sweater and donating blood that we will be diverted by the sight of zombies running around? Alas, no. But even this is so Buffalo. The zombies write on their Facebook invite:
"ZOMBIES: As much as you want too please do not show up in costume. We forgot to tell Joe Reboy and he showed up in full costume complete with a pencil protruding his cranium.
"The nurses got a kick out of it though!"

It's all in the name.
El Molino used to be the place in every Mexican village where people brought corn to be ground into Masa (Spanish for dough). Sadly, even in Mexico, the traditional process is used less frequently - most tortillarias use instant maseca. But in Sonoma's most authentic Mexican hub, Boyes Hot Springs, the food is back to basics.
At El Molino Central the process starts with organic corn from Nebraska, which is then soaked overnight in water and lime and then ground with a stone. Stop by any day around 11 a.m. to watch the process. Ask for a sample and you'll understand the difference.
El Molino Central has been open for about a year now and if the San Francisco favorite, Blue Bottle Coffee hasn't lured you in, hopefully this statement will: I have never tasted Mexican food so fresh and delicious, not even in Mexico.
The menu is packed with authentic regional and seasonal Mexican classics for lunch and dinner and before 11am, chilaquiles, a traditional breakfast dish made with a base of fried corn tortillas. You can also pick up farm fresh eggs and delicious take-home party food like enchiladas, tamales, salsa, guacamole, and chips.
Like the tortillas, the decor is tastefully basic. The space is small and efficient and only has one table and two chairs, so grab your food to-go or, do as the locals do and eat on the bench out front. There is always plenty to watch in the streets of "the Springs."
On your way to El Molino Central you will pass a handful of popular local (and much less expensive) taco trucks. But don't compare them, they're completely different. I love the taco trucks but they are exactly what they are supposed to be - "street food," meaning fast food, not artisan cuisine. What sets El Molino from the rest are the ingredients and the process: everything is fresh and homemade.
Sure, the typical foot-long taco truck style super burrito only costs $6, but shell out $10 for El Molino's Swiss chard enchiladas and you will leave a believer. El Molino cooks by the quality over quantity paradigm; if you partake, your body will thank you.
El Molino Central, 11 Central Avenue, Sonoma. (707) 939 - 1010
Open daily 8 a.m. - 8 p.m.

Tantra: Out With the Old, In With the Older
Copyright 2013 by Trish Causey. All Rights Reserved.
Those of you who have followed my orgasm journal have read about my path to becoming a multi-orgasmic and spontaneously orgasmic woman. I've experienced all sorts of -gasms from multiple orgasms, heart-gasms, leg-gasms, nipple-gasms, urination-gasms, labia-gasms — you name it, my body has -gasmed there.
I embarked on this journey as a means of healing from sexual abuse as a child, rape as an adult, and a miserable marriage. I just wanted to be able to feel sensation in my clit again after doing damage from vibrators — and to be able to orgasm during sex, a seemingly impossible feat I never accomplished with a partner. Since starting this path via research, trial and error, and a few different "methods," I have experienced orgasms, emotions, and awakenings physically and emotionally that I never dreamed were possible. Along the way, I've made mistakes and had revelations, and it has all been one big learning experience.
I had begun a practice about a year ago that is essentially breathing, sound, and touch — supposedly, a protocol "discovered" by accident. I now feel that this is inaccurate, since combining breathing, sound, and touch is an ancient practice to awaken the subtle body, to trigger the energy fields of the meridians, and to rewire the parasympathetic nervous system.
After all, orgasm is both a physical event and an energy event. Different systems are activated to bring about each kind of orgasm.
In documenting my journey, I was able to go back and see what I did, when, the circumstances of my emotions at the time, any physical factors, as well as my experiences with the protocol itself, and how it affected me. (THIS is why journaling is so important — not necessarily at the time of the experience, but it can be very important later.) Looking back, I noticed that I did everything exactly opposite of what was given in the "protocol," and when I tried to do it correctly, I hurt my voice or didn't experience as much as when I did it "wrong." Mostly, though, when doing it "wrong," I experienced huge leaps forward in my orgasmic journey, and I knew that I was doing a practice that was centuries old, a Tantric type of breathing meditation with sound that awakens the body, the mind, and even the spirit/consciousness self.
Incorporating sensual massage and my solo version of the OM clit technique took my orgasmic experiences to a new level. Learning to love my breasts and starting to accept my body as she is has been healing in many ways, not the least of which has been the change in how I make love to myself.
Over the past year, as I began to sink a little too deep into Yin energy personally while expending inordinate amounts of Yang energy during the push to the 2012 POTUS election (combating GOP repressive crap), I experienced the sexual downward cycles that follow every sexual upsurge high. I no longer craved manually stimulated orgasms or solo sex sessions. I could do barely-there nipple stim or gentle clit and labia stim and have those orgasms and be perfectly happy. I began to fear I was losing my sex drive. Now, as I am again experiencing changes in my orgasms (that I will write up soon), I have left that other protocol behind and have begun firmly on a Tantric path.
I have started working with a Tantric teacher in Miami, and I am so very happy to be on this path. The program takes a minimum of six years to complete, so it is definitely a commitment. At this time, it feels right, and I hope to be able to complete it. I can't wait to see what I experience in six months, a year, five years from now by working with a real Tantric. I know that sounds like forever to some of you, but in the past couple of years I've learned that it takes time to process and integrate the new awakenings of the subtle body with the physical body and the emotional and psychological aspects of our selves.
Tantra is a beautiful journey of awareness, transformation, and expansiveness, not the sex orgy touted by "gurus" and media for tabloid fodder… though sex is certainly improved by Tantra consciousness being present.
As Georg Feuerstein says in Tantra, The Path of Ecstasy:
"It is no accident that true Tantric practitioners are called "heroes" (vira), because they must navigate in treacherous waters that demand constant vigilance and great inner strength…. There are no shortcuts, and the quest for quick fixes and weekend enlightement is merely one of the symptoms of the kali-yuga, governed by delusion and greed."
I think I will be blogging my experiences here, so stay tuned.

DailyOJ 05-18-12, Part 2: Double-Dipping, Echoes, & Out-of-Body Heartgasms
* Read Part 1 here. *
So my body was buzzing from the early morning's activities, and I did my duties for work (theatre writing) and continued plotting my domination of the world via Musical Theatre. My 12:30 p.m. alarm announced it was time for KSMO practice, and after a few snoozes o' the alarm, off I went to hit the shower before hitting the bed to enjoy my second helping of orgasmic bliss.
I did my 20-minue KSMO practice, trying to do the single caressing (epic fail, I like constant caressing — go figure!), and still trying to get the vocalization just right. While having sex (solo or partnered) is not recommended on KSMO practice days, I was just horny. And the morning's session had left me wanting the vaginal O part of a blended orgasm.
To stimulate my prostate, I started with the glass wand. I have had some amazing developments with the prostate stimulation. Though the clit is known for producing sudden, heated, fireworks, the She Spot (G-Spot) is known to be a slow-burner of arousal — deceptively slow, incredibly deep, full, filling arousal. For me, the vaginal stimulation now brings this full-body, core arousal much more quickly than it used to. (So ladies, if you've never done prostate stimulation because you've heard it takes a long time to get aroused, give it a try on a regular basis. Your body will probably "calibrate" to this stimulation and start getting aroused more quickly with steady practice!)
With my prostate warmed up, I started the simultaneous clit stim. Since starting KSMO, I can use a lot less stimulation on my clit. I may start off with circles, but I usually end up doing long strokes from just above the clitoral hood down to the outer labia. Nowadays, I'll often start with some OM clit fingering, and that really gets those clitoral nerves humming. And frankly, my clit was sore from this morning.
I switched to my penisy vibrator (sans vibration) so I could rock out my A-Spot. Because I'm already extremely aroused, the fullness of the vibrator hits all the "spots" and "zones" in the vagina. And I shudder, a full-body shudder. (Actually, I think it's an orgasm, a full-body O as the vibe goes in, but that's just my perception of it.)
Public service announcement: Guys, THIS is why you should spend 15 to 30 minutes on "foreplay"! Once aroused, there isn't a spot in the vagina that isn't ready to orgasm with a little extra love. Doing this will help bring up the horrible statistics that about 70% of women NEVER orgasm during penetrative sex!!!
During the journey to orgasm, I noticed I kept stopping all stimulation. I have no idea why. I didn't plan on this or consciously decide to stop. It just sort of happened. My body seemed to know what it wanted and how it wanted it. I would stop both hands momentarily just to feel the effects of the stimulation. For some reason, I kept doing this — both hands stimulating, pausing to feel, stimulating pausing, feeling… over and over and over. Each time, I moaned,a little higher pitched than usual — I even had the observationist critique of "Gee, I sound cheezy!" But I didn't care. This letting the body take over was new for me, and it was delicious! Each time while pausing, I could feel sensations bubbling up and expanding not into orgasm (at the moment) but brewing something bigger, thicker, deeper.
The orgasms were incredible, and I had the thought at that moment, that I would hate to see what I looked like during this frantic madness. No orgies for me! :P
Normally, the post-orgasm emotion begins 5 to 10 seconds after the orgasms, and even then, the emotion/tears begin softly, quickly building in intensity to full-out crying, then fading. Usually afterward, I wind up laughing at myself because I feel kind of ridiculous over the whole thing. (Jung might say I'm in ego, but after letting loose, moaning, howling, and crying, I think getting back in ego might be a good thing so I can get on with my day!)
Today, the emotion hit instantly. In fact, I was barely through the last orgasm when the crying erupted from me, forcibly bringing up emotions from my core. I know uterine orgasms are emotional, but this was raw and primal. I felt emotionally pummeled. I have no idea where it came from. I can only surmise that the catharsis of writing my breasts article and the subsequent good response touched me or knocked loose something that needed to be — could only be — released through deep, full-body, full-emotion, body/spirit integrated orgasm.
Now, I usually am so relaxed or so exhausted by this point that I doze off into a light sleep. I'll doze about 15 minutes, roll over, and doze another 15 minutes. I'll then lay there to feel what's going on in my body — usually, echoes are still going on. For me, I define echoes as the after-orgasms — possibly a series of orgasms in their own right — that are contractions of the genitals and lower core: vagina, anus, cervix dipping down, clit throbbing, blood pulsating through the inner and outer labia, even my lower abdominals, and definitely my glutes still clenching, etc. I've noticed my hips will continue to rock well after the orgasm spectacular is over. These echoes/contractions go on for a half hour to an hour.
Today, I fell asleep almost immediately. I think I was emotionally as well as physically exhausted from the session. Not to mention the 90-minute session I'd had earlier that morning. (And people wonder why I won't work out at a gym?!) But this was no light snooze. This was a hard sleep. In fact, I slept for over an hour. When I woke up, I looked at the clock and would have jumped out of bed if I'd had the energy. Which was another strange feeling — normally I feel energized and buzzy at this point. But not today. I was tired. And I had a weird feeling in my chest wall.
I first experienced heartgasms last Fall. Sometimes, people feel heartgasms as sudden happiness that makes them clutch their hands to their heart, or they feel as if an orgasm has just happened IN the heart area. My heartgasms were/are similar. Mostly, I feel a sudden buzzing in my chest wall/rib cage, as if my inner/astral me is trying to burst out of my physical body and go back to the spirit plane. (If you're not into astral stuff and don't know what I'm talking about, I'll have to explain this in another post.)
What I felt today was a strong tug-of-war between my body and my inner/astral me that was trying to escape, to return to the spirit plane, or at least the Land of Orgasm. If I were a 60 year-old man, a smoker, or ate fried foods, I might think I was having a heart attack. Glad it was just an orgasm! :P
This tug-of-war happening at my chest wall/rib cage went on for hours. It was less intense once I had to go back to pretending I'd worked all day long and did other responsible stuff. :D But the sensations were still there. And in my genitals, I stil had the feeling of the bubbling up, expanding, full, hot, pulsating, buzz, and echoes.
I don't like this in-between feeling. I want to definitely be somewhere — definitely here or definitely there. Though I guess if I'm definitely there, I'd be dead. Another insight into why the French term for orgasm is "la petite mort" — the little death. And maybe why we keep returning to arousal and orgasm to experience the Other Side if only briefly.
C'est la vie.

DailyOJ 05-16-12: Crying & Emotional Orgasms
My last session — on Monday — was amazing, and I wrote about it here.
After the final big orgasm, as the contractions pulsated in my vagina, cervix, and anus, I burst into tears which made me deliriously happy (inside). This emotion was centered in the heart chakra. I felt the wall of my chest vibrating — a heartgasm?, and my hands flew up to my heart and over my eyes. The crying was guttural and from my core. It felt like I was finally back on my journey's path.
This may not sound like a good thing, but I was relieved by the emotional expression that occurred. The past few weeks, my orgasms had been unemotional — with little to no crying afterward. I have begun to equate my vocal volume during and my emotional crying afterward with the intensity and number of orgasms. The louder and boo-hooey-er, the bigger and better. The lack of emotional response seemed to be synonymous with the lack of true arousal I'd been feeling.
This then brought up other emotional issues… I realized that I almost dread having sex with a partner again… the more emotional I am means the awesomer my orgasms were. Men are scared of emotion. So this is actually beginning to feel like a deal-breaker. I can't go back to unemotional sex. Women who like casual sex — more power to them. I've recently discovered I just don't want it. I would need to hide my emotions for a "just fucking" encounter, and that would hurt too much.
I know this separates me from the majority of feminists out there who think that being an empowered female means fucking anything that's longer than it is wide and being able to walk away unaffected by the encounter. I never was that way inside, though I did have the occasional orgy one-night stand. (Another reason to love the theatre :D ). And I'm a humanist, not a feminist — if "feminist" is defined as thinking women should automatically be placed ahead of men just because we're female — that's reverse discrimination FOR the vagina, which is no better than discrimination AGAINST the vagina.
Recognizing that I… need… as well as want the emotional component of sexual experience must mean I'm getting old… or maybe more integrated with my higher self. "Needing" anything is not easy for me. I've always been and had to be independent. Find a way or make a way. No negotiations. No excuses. "Needing" puts me in a position of submissiveness. Vulnerability. And frankly, that freaks me out.
Not to get all woo-woo on you, but having experienced the astral plane in dreams and the cosmic orgasm from my prostate awakening, I refuse to settle for anything less. Don't get me wrong. I would still enjoy a good ol' fashioned hard fuck, as long as the underlying relationship is one of love and trust — then the hard fuck is really just a matter of mutual, wild, animal lust rearing its fabulous head amidst a spirit-connected sexual and sensual experience… but I can cry afterward, knowing I'm safe, that I felt safe to give myself so fully to the experience in the first place… and for me, crying is a good thing.
Aroused and blubbering,

DailyOJ 05-15-12: Nipple Sensitivity & Energy in My Legs
In the past few weeks, I've been trying to get back into the KSMO thing. After the debacle (with a couple of morons) on the forum, I didn't do anything KSMO for 2 months. In the interim, I finally tried Om-ing and was shocked by the fabulous results I had with it as well as went a couple rounds with my new glass prostate wand and have loved playing with that ever since.
Oddly enough, I began to experience painful sensitivity in my nipples. Not the whole breasts, just the nipples. This was horribly sad because I have begun to rely on nipple stim as the appetizer that leads to the entree of arousal and delectable orgasmic desert(s) later on. Also, since beginning a regular-ish practice of sensual massage, I've found my hands on my breasts almost constantly whenever I'm naked. (That may seem weird, but since I spent most of my life hating my breasts, I'm actually just getting to know them.)
Nipple stimulation leads to a cervical, Kundalini orgasm in 10 to 30 seconds. If I continue the nipple and breast stimulation (as I'm wont to do), I can even get aroused enough to experience what author Diana Richardson calls the "YES!" of vaginal arousal, where the vaginal opening (the clitoral cuff of the PC muscles) opens and a finger or toy slides right in — no wiggling past the fleshy opening necessary to enter. The first time I felt my vagina open like that, it was as if my vulva was sighing a sweet, "Ahhhhh…." It felt amazing. Since then, I can sense when my vagina is open like that, waiting to be entered by… something. In fact, I've found myself awakening in the middle of the night from a sexual-infused dream and without touching my shaved vulva, I can tell I'm fully opened and in "YES!" mode.
With little notice, my nipples became painfully sensitive a few weeks ago. Even the air flow from the ceiling fan was painful. This made me pay attention to the rest of the breast (which, admittedly, is overlooked by men as well). I can only surmise that the pain was related to my hormonal cycles — it began a week after my period, through ovulation (think I caught the egg this month!), and a week after. This past week has been miraculously back to normal in sensation. However, the cervical O's only came back in the last day or two, and they're not as strong — but I did notice that the intensity is building back. Will have to work on those. :)
As for the energy in my legs, I don't have much to report other than I've noticed weird pulsating, energy zaps down the backs of my legs recently. It feels like contractions (but not like a leg cramp). It's as if it's building energy, starting in my lower glutes/upper hamstrings and down to my calves. Strong sensations but not unpleasant.
I had full-body O's during this last session with lots of energy in my legs — which is great because my legs are strong and tend to be very active during the last phase of arousal (shaking profusely) and during orgasms themselves (kicking out, pulling up, kicking out again, etc.). I can even feel my prostate coming back to life, which had also gone dormant in recent months.
As for regular orgasms, I've had my orgasms in the past few weeks, but they hadn't been as satisfying as I've become accustomed since last Fall. I don't know if this is related to the nipple pain or not. The breasts are indeed the gateway to orgasm (for me, anyway), so that may have been the cause for (what I consider) the lackluster orgasms — they were localized to the genitals, and even when they extended upward, they weren't full-body… more … one-hit of orgasm, but not even an explosion. (Yes, this was with blended O stim.)
On the brighter side, I woke up from some sensual dream at 3:45 a.m. today, and unable to sleep, I laid in bed as I do with my legs spread open and massaged my breasts and labia. It was fabulous. I can't count the number of cervical O's I had with the breast stimulation, and even had a couple of energy zings from minor OM clit stimulation.
Will have to see where all this leads next… Being on my period, I won't be able to play inside until Saturday or Sunday… well, I could, but man, I hate the "Clean up, aisle 12″ scenario. Guess it's just me and my breasts till then!

The fate of the Academic Success Center in Columbus still hangs in the balance. Monday night Muscogee County School board members voted 5 to 4 to table the decision until next week.
The school was put on the chopping block after Interim Superintendent John Phillips proposed suggested changes to cover shortfalls for the 2009 SPLOST. Several people including NAACP President Nate Sanderson addressed the board about how the Academic Success Center has a positive impact on the lives of students. Board Chair Cathy Williams says that it was appropriate for the board to allow the community time to get a better understanding of what will happen if the school closes.

Supernatural season 8 is going to be bringing back a character from last season in one of the episodes when it returns in 2013, and there are now more details out about what to expect in "LARP and the Real Girl."
That's the episode that will feature Felicia Day's return. She first appeared last season in "The Girl With the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo" as Charlie Bradbury, and Jeremy Carver has given TVLine some details about her return: "That is our live-action role-playing episode. We will discover that young Charlie Bradbury, in running from her past life, has found herself a new life in a new community. Basically, [she] has fallen into the welcoming arms of a community of LARPers." When Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) last saw her, she was boarding a bus and had commented that she had disappeared before. Will she have to run yet again by the time this episode is over, or will they leave her still with that community? There is always the possibility that she doesn't survive "LARP and the Real Girl" (as happens often with recurring characters, especially females, on this show), but hopefully she is around to return.
Then there's the question of how Sam and Dean's relationship will be by the time this Supernatural season 8 episode comes around. The midseason finale ended with them apart and Sam angry when he found out what Dean did. The preview for the January return showed that he wasn't happy to find Dean on the other side of his motel room door. But will they be on better terms by "LARP and the Real Girl"? Hopefully they are.
What do you think of the latest Supernatural season 8 spoilers?

"I have no idea what this guy's doing" and "This is getting old." That's the reaction of one bike rider when a man in a Ford Explorer followed two cyclists for about five minutes on Colorado 52 while blaring his horn.
Two men went out for a bike ride last Sunday on Colorado 52 east of Longmont, Colorado. An SUV approached from behind and the two cyclists changed formation to single file. The driver blared on his own and paced behind the bike riders for about five minutes. One of the cyclists captured a cell phone video of the incident, documented the Colorado license plate 893 EKG, and submitted the information to the Colorado State Patrol.
The video went viral to over 263,000 on September 21, 2012 after being posted on September 16, 2012.
The Colorado State Patrol announced Thursday that James Ernst was issued a citation for harassment (two charges), impeding the flow of traffic/minimum speed regulation and improper use of a horn or warning device.
