Fellatio is a Woman's Secret Weapon - Why You Should Learn How to Suck a Man
Most women know the basics of fellatio (oral sex) but did you know that performing fellatio to a high standard is not just about giving a man a great sexual experience. There are so many reasons why you should perfect the art of fellatio, for a start men who receive this sexual treat on a regular basis will not cheat on their partner as they will not want to lose such a woman.
Another benefit of giving a guy head is that while he thinks you are his sex slave the fact is that he is the slave, as you have the ultimate weapon of sex. In other words if you want something doing or want him to take you out or buy you something, then all you have to do is offer him a fellatio session as a reward, so as you see not only will this act keep him faithful but will also make him do anything you want him to do.For an amazing guide on How To GIVE A GUY HEAD that covers all this and much, much more I strongly suggest you read BLOW BY BLOW the complete guide to fellatio
Back to the basics, this is where you just go through the motions and suck his penis. While he will enjoy it the fact is he will get bored very quickly. So learn some advanced fellatio techniques like taking him deeper in your mouth or allowing him to end it in your mouth. The latter is the ultimate turn on to any man and if you let him do this once in a while then believe me he will not even look at another woman. If you make him drink a pint of juice the day before then it will not taste so bad.
So as you can see fellatio is not just about sex, it is also a way for women to keep the reigns on a guy while making sure they get something out of the act too. Do a quick search and there are many guides available with step by step instructions on advanced fellatio techniques.

Tata Motors is examining the possibility of building a plant in Saudi Arabia to assemble Jaguar Land Rover Ltd cars next to a new aluminium smelter, the Indian manufacturer's chairman said in a magazine interview on Friday.
Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter and Middle East's largest economy, has for decades aimed at using its abundant natural resources to diversify its economy into complex industries.
"This smelter could make the production of aluminum in Saudi Arabia very competitive. So taking a really long-term view, if we put an assembly plant there with a large press shop, given our commitment to aluminum in our products, we could have an interesting business case which we are examining today," Tata Motors chairman Ratan Tata said in remarks published in Autocar India.
The smelter is a joint venture between Saudi Arabian Mining Co (Maaden) and Alcoa Inc and is scheduled to start production in 2013.

Dallas leads the nation in the percentage of teen births that aren't the mother's first delivery, a nonpartisan national research group finds in a new report.
Dallas had the highest percentage of teen births that are repeat births - 28 percent - among 73 major U.S. cities in 2006, the latest year for which city-level data are available.
Texas has the highest repeat rate of any state - 23 percent of teen births. And five of the 15 worst-ranked cities are in Texas, according to the group Child Trends, in a report to be released Wednesday.
"That's not where we want to be, for sure," said Sarah Wheat, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood in Austin.
Texas had the highest repeat rate of any state for the sixth consecutive year.

My Sharsheret Story is actually two stories that quickly entwined into one. I was diagnosed with stage two, invasive ductal carcinoma in February of this year. Although it was not a surprise, it was demoralizing. I had already been through a different cancer experience years earlier and although I knew I would, I often felt I could not "do it" again.
As I struggled, I naturally turned to the Jewish community which has been at the center of my entire life. I knew of Sharsheret. Years as a professional in the Jewish community had made me aware of its existence. I explored the website and ordered information. I made a call and spoke with a member of the support staff. I had a specific question, which she answered and then offered me additional support as needed.
I spent the next months recovering from several surgeries and then triumphantly ordered my Thriving Again survivorship kit. Again, I spoke with the support staff who called to follow up on my request. I thought the kit was enough, but as we spoke a bit more, we discovered there was something else they could help with.
Before my diagnosis I held two part-time jobs in a local synagogue. I took medical leave from one position and stepped down from the other. Now that I was through my treatment, I was looking for new employment and worried about disclosing my diagnosis to potential employers and managing follow-up care. Sharsheret supplied several wonderful resources and guidance about cancer and careers.
During my job search Sharsheret was looking for a Director of National Outreach and it almost felt bashert (destiny) to me. I had the professional skills and training and now I had the personal experience. I have always worked my passion. I heard another cancer survivor say "Make your mess your message." Either way it felt like Sharsheret was the place I was meant to be. Thankfully, they felt the same way.
I did worry that immersing myself in the world of breast cancer might feel overwhelming. Sure, I anticipate difficult moments, but the word I would use to describe it now is not overwhelming, but empowering. I look forward to many year of empowerment!
The past seven years since I was first diagnosed with breast cancer have been life changing for me and for my family. I am grateful for the wonderful medical and personal care I received. However, I can't bear to think that my daughters and the mothers, daughters, and sisters of others, would have to go through what I have been through. I don't want them to be treated. I want them to never have cancer in the first place. For this reason, my husband Tom and I established the John Fetting Fund for Breast Cancer Prevention at Johns Hopkins to support medical research on preventing breast cancer.
Recently, I visited the Sharsheret office with my daughter Carly. I am very impressed with the organization, its energy, and personal connection. We enjoyed learning about Have The TalkTM, a new campaign to encourage students to ask their parents about their family medical history. Passover, which is just around the corner, is the perfect time when families will be together and can talk about important family issues. I urge you to make assembling a family medical history a priority for your family.
My hope is that when we get more Jewish people focused on being stakeholders, we will be able to accomplish so much in many areas. We need Jewish people to know their family medical histories, to deal with the facts when they get tested, and we need them to stop thinking of breast cancer as being something people have or don't have. Our community has breast cancer, not just the individuals in it, and not just the women. When the mother is sick, the whole family is not well. We have to remain vigilant with monitoring and we need to be vigilant in advocating for intelligent decision-making on health issues. This attention cannot stop after the first round of surgery and medical treatment. We need to stay focused for our own benefit and we need to protect future generations.
Our Jewish community is uniquely poised to use our substantial resources to make things happen when we know we have a big problem. We do it for Israel, we do it with the other innovative programs of our Jewish charities. We need to pool our individual, foundation, and corporate resources to address this health crisis of breast cancer that is imperiling Jewish families and our entire community. If we make it a priority, we will win this battle. The time is right for us to give the medical community the resources it needs to focus on preventing breast cancer.
To learn more about the important research of the John Fetting Fund for Breast Cancer Prevention at Johns Hopkins, go to www.fettingfund.org. If you would like to see a video of my personal story and my reasons for devoting my energies to preventing breast cancer, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WW0RfkYWPZ8&feature=youtu.be or write to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I'm implementing a TcxGrid in a Delphi VCL winforms application where the grid has a column which is a dropdown list. I'd like to present this as a multi-column list, so I chose the cxLookupComboBox for the column properties.
The problem is that each row has its own set of dropdown items, so I initially implemented this within the GetPropertiesForEdit event
procedure TfmForm1.gclUnitGetPropertiesForEdit(
Sender: TcxCustomGridTableItem; ARecord: TcxCustomGridRecord;
var AProperties: TcxCustomEditProperties);
TcxLookupComboBoxProperties(AProperties).ListSource.DataSet :=
Then I found this is bad because it affects all of the rows, so the value displayed in row X while you are editting row Y is based on the list for row Y, not row X. DevExpress actually point this out in their documentation. Oh well.
I started to reimplement this by creating a TcxEditRepository and creating a properties item in there for each row as each row is added to the grid. Each respository item had it's own datasource and in theory might have worked, except that you don't appear to be able to delete repository items in code (at least not by index) so if the user removed a row or inserted a row in the middle of the table, I could no longer access the edit repository item by the index of the row in the grid.
So, does anyone have a good solution for using LookupComboBoxes with row-specific dropdown lists in a TcxGrid?
If not, can anyone recommend an alternate grid column type that provides multi-column support and ideally doesn't involve a lot of extra code?

Yes, this year we're going to start it all off caveman style with a Bedrock-A-Go-Go party on Thursday night. We've got the outrageously talented Neanderthals to perform as we (bed)rock the night away, so you know you've got to be there!

My gosh! Garlic scapes already!
I went out in the garden this morning and I already have garlic scapes 4 inches long on my kitab garlic. Is this variety known for being early or is it from the mild winter temps and 90 degree temps lately?
This is the first year for this variety and my Maitake garlic was my earliest garlic to form scapes the last 2 years.
95% Of my 39 varieties of garlic are doing great this year and some are reaching to about 2 ft tall already but looks like i lost about 1/3 of my 9 varities of shallots over the winter.
Also my heritage and egytpian onions are already sending up the bulblet stalks.
Looks like an early year for some crops for me this year.
I have noticed things starting early this year as well. My hostas are peeking above the ground already and I don't typically see them until mid may. I don't have garlic scapes yet, but the greens are in the 10-12" range already.
So far this year is looking pretty good, off to a good start anyway.

NEXT in Worldwide Challenge
March/April 2015
Below are just a few of the main features in our upcoming issue. We hope you will be encouraged and inspired in your walk with the Lord.
"Breaking the Mold," pages 12-21, shares the multiplication process – and current success – of Cru's Student Life leader Caleb Ward and his team as they endeavor to reach students for Christ at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand.
By Emilie Vinson / Photographs by Guy Gerrard
"Taste and See," pages 22-25, is a thought-provoking look at how the Passover celebration connects to Jesus. Writer Philip Long shares a family incident that parallels the way another Father, God, longs to end His Son's pain. Philip suggests that the symbols of Passover (i.e., bitter herbs, unleavened bread and lamb) are personal, communal and deep – just like our God. Philip bids us to come, taste, see and celebrate as we experience the story of God's redemption in Christ through the Seder.
By Philip Long / Lettering by Ashley Walton
"South Side Story," pages 26-34, offers a spiritual type of "rags-to-riches" story that confirms the truth of Romans 8:28: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (NIV). Ms. Pearl Willis spent much of her life running from God, but Cru's inner city Chicago ministry helped her learn to trust Him. Today she uses those past trials and tragedies to run a thriving day-care facility that brings hope to many mothers and children living in one of Chicago's toughest neighborhoods. Hers is an example of someone who has experienced God's forgiveness and redemptive love, and is "paying it forward" to benefit others.
By Philip Long / Photographs by Tom Mills
In "Counting the Cost," pages 35-37, author Matt Mikalatos, excerpting from his book, The First Time We Saw Him, challenges readers to count the cost of not following Jesus. Based on the parable of the pearl of great price (Matthew 13:45-46), Matt invites us to take a fresh look at Jesus and consider the results of either remaining with the status quo or being transformed spiritually. The question isn't so much "what will it cost to follow Jesus," but rather, "what will be the cost of not following Him?"

Best deep woods mosquite repellant for kids to be used regularly?
I apologize if this is not the best place to post this, but I have no idea where else to put it. We are building in NE Ohio on a heavily wooded lot of 9 acres with a stream on the front and back of our property. Our children are very much outdoor-lovers and we want them to enjoy being outside as much as they have interest to. Last year our daughter got lyme disease and, thankfully, we treated her seriously and immediately so she is fine, but this caused us to be even more aware of the risks of contracting lyme in this kind of environment. In fact, she contracted it in the very tiny backyard of our current condo, so it's not like she was parading around in the woods. Anyway, my husband suggests deep woods with DEET is the best product for mosquito repellant, but I've heard this is terrible for children. Any thoughts or recommendations? thanks very much
AFAIK, Lyme disease is spread by ticks. They are harder to repel than mosquitoes. The heavy-duty sprays with DEET are effective, although I've always wondered about the long-term health effects, especially on children. I'm always cautious about dousing kids in any chemical!
When kids play in a known tick area, the best thing is to establish a daily ritual of inspecting for ticks. Farmers I know do this throughout tick season. Wearing long clothes and spraying the clothes with repellant may help too, and limit exposure to the chemicals.
I've never had much luck with Avon SSS, but others claim success.
You need the DEET. Just put it on the clothing. There was a time (12-15 yrs ago) that they recommended against DEET products for kids, but if you read now, they want you to use DEET products. They've improved them (reduced the amount of DEET) and nothing is as effective.
Our property is in the woods too. Even where we are now, my boys spend a lot of time in the woods. In the summer, I check every night for ticks. Deer ticks transmit Lyme disease as you know Threeapples. The babies are the size of a poppyseed and the adults are the size of an Appleseed. As long as you get them off quickly, the chances of getting Lyme disease are slim. thank heaven you got your dd treated early.
With the warm winter we had in the Midwest (my school district in il didn't use one snow day) there will be more deer ticks this yr, so we will have to be even more vigilant.
If you have girls, pull their hair up when they play out--check the scalp each night, the ears, and other folds. My boys are shy, but I check them anyway, even the groin. I use mosquito repellant if my boys are going to be in the woods or playing outside after dusk (with DEET). Just make them shower well each night--which goes without saying with my kids!
Then, of course other concerns that makes mosquito repellant important are West Nile Virus and Encephalitis.
We live with 30 some acres of woods and wet lands.
Deet won't kill ticks. They will crawl over the treated area to an untreated area. You need Permethrin. It's applied to clothing. It will kill ticks.
Because I'm not an advertiser I would suggest googling it.
The suggestions about hair and a nightly check are excellent. Ticks can survive a hot shower or bath.

New action cam round-up: Cameras go airborne, 3D and sideways
Thanks to the surplus of affordable wearable video camera hardware, action sports enthusiasts no longer need a sponsorship or film crew to capture their biggest, most exciting trips and moves. Now all it takes is a couple hundred bucks. GoPro and Contour have been one-upping each other for years, and the big guns at Sony, JVC and Panasonic recently decided to join them. While walking the action cam section of the ISPO Munich sports show, we came across some additional competitors – with some very innovative hardware – from around the world. Read More
VuPackPole gives actioncam-users new perspectives
Although it may seem like it was just yesterday that actioncams came into common use, already people are getting frustrated with the limitations of the "here's what I was looking at" viewpoint. Thanks to innovations such as the 3rd Person View, BoomPro and GO360, however, adventurous videographers can now include themselves in their self-shot videos. One of the latest such camera-on-a-stick gadgets is the backpack-mounted VuPackPole. Read More
Video Head puts the helmet cam into the helmet
The helmet cam has been one of the biggest things to ever hit the action sports market. These relatively inexpensive, easy-to-use cameras have made it both affordable and easy to capture action sports film, enabling everyone from beginners to pros to film their greatest (and worst) exploits. The Video Head camera helmet takes a different approach, pulling the action camera off its Teletubby-like perch on top of the helmet and sliding it inside. Read More
3rd Person View lets you star in your own action videos
If you like to shoot point-of-view videos of your "extreme" endeavors, perhaps you sometimes get people saying "How come we never get to see you in any of these?". Well, you can address that by using something like the BoomPro or Go360 – both devices suspend your camera from your helmet, allowing it to get a shot of you. Soon, however, you may be able to get something a bit fancier, in the form of the 3rd Person View. Read More
Qmountz jumps into the iPhone-to-actioncam market
iPhone users looking to turn their device into an actioncam have been spoiled for choice as of late, and Qmountz by Maptaq is the latest protective case and mount package to join the fray. Read More
The CES showfloor is littered with a variety of action cameras this year, but few of them offer any truly head-turning new features, save for the Geonaute. Developed in France, the Geonaute action camera records 360-degree video and still images, which users can later explore from almost every angle on a computer or mobile device. Read More
Panasonic unveils HX-A100 Wearable Camcorder
It looks like the Looxcie could be in for some competition. Panasonic has used CES 2013 to unveil its HX-A100 Wearable Camcorder. Like the Looxcie, the little Panasonic camera can be worn on the head without a helmet (using its included Earhook), streaming HD video live on Ustream via Wi-Fi. Read More
Hitcase and ChestR Mount let the iPhone see some action
With rugged, mount-equipped iPhone cases such as the Optrix XD, it's now possible to use your phone as an actioncam. Most of these cases, however, aren't designed to be mounted on the user's chest – a viewpoint that often offers some of the best point-of-view shots. That's where the Hitcase and its ChestR Mount come into the picture. Read More
Soloshot automated actioncam tripod tracks your biggest moves
Ever since technology made video cameras small and light enough to wear comfortably on the body, manufacturers have been busy one-upping each other with features like GPS tracking, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth streaming, integrated internet uploading, remote controls and of course, better filming capabilities. But the basics have remained the same: small, lightweight cameras that sits on the filmer's body or gear and takes point-of view footage. SOLOSHOT brings a different point of view to the action sports filming equation – it's a tripod that incorporates an automated tracking system to deliver third-person footage without anyone behind the lens. Read More
ATC Chameleon actioncam gets two shots at once
When you're shooting first-person video of activities such as surfing, cycling or kayaking, it always helps spice up the finished product if you include footage from more than one perspective. Usually, the only way that can be accomplished is to use multiple cameras, or to stop and reposition the one camera. Oregon Scientific, however, is taking a different approach with its new ATC Chameleon actioncam. It records two perspectives at once, which it merges into a split-screen display. Read More

LONDON (Bloomberg) -- Soco International Plc, a UK oil explorer focused on Africa and Asia, slumped the most in five months in London as earnings missed estimates.
The shares dropped as much as 7 percent, the biggest drop since Sept. 26, and traded down 5.5 percent at 439 pence as of 9:08 a.m. local time. It was the worst performer on the FTSE 350 Oil & Gas Producers Index.
Profit fell to $104.1 million, down from $207 million a year earlier and short of the $218.3 million estimate of 12 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Soco returned more than $200 million to shareholders in the fourth quarter and said it will recommend a further cash return in 2014. The shares have climbed 19 percent in a year.
"The stock has been trading at a premium to the sector for a while," said Thomas Martin, an analyst at Canaccord Genuity Ltd. in London. "Maybe people were looking for something to justify that."
The company said revenue was $608.1 million last year, down from $621.6 million in 2012. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and exploration write-offs declined to $472.9 million from $496 million.
"The company is pleased that we have been able to create value for shareholders from cash returns and a 100 percent success ratio in our Vietnam and operated drilling programs," said CEO Ed Story in a statement. "Whilst revenues are slightly down," the "future looks extremely bright."

Paint the stair treads? Yes or no?
Here is my dilemma.
I really don't like my floors. They are beautiful, high quality wood - I just don't like the color. However, I don't have the budget to refinish. (the entire home is hardwood @ 3000 sq ft)
My hallway is brown (in this photo it reads green, but it's BM Davenport Tan)
At first I was thinking that maybe I need to brighten up the home - lighter colors (I have earthy tones now) - change the brown to a cream.
My painter suggested painting the treads & spindles white - leaving the steps, post and railings as is. Keep the brown walls.
My personal opinion is that it would be a shame to paint over perfectly good wood. And I would never paint stair treads WHITE. As soon as you paint a stair tread white you then need to put a carpet down on it to keep it from getting dirty and nasty. Do you mean the riser?
Anyway, why would your painter want to paint the stairs and keep a brown wall if your entire goal is to lighten things up? I would find a wonderful paint color to replace the brown and see if it makes you love the floors. I had a horrible, throw back to the 70's, floor length, blind thingy that took up our entire living room wall in a house we rented. I swore I had to replace it. We got estimates - $500, I thought about sewing something, all fabric I liked would have cost similar-- we finally picked a paint color we liked and decide to deal with the blinds later and we were shocked to find once the walls were painted the blinds actually looked good. I am so glad I didn't spend $500 on new blinds for a rental.
If you do decide you absolutely can't live with it, I would paint the risers, not the treads. I did this also in the rental as they were pine stairs and the wood was terrible and cracked. It is a nice look, but again, I wouldn't go white. I would go with a nice accent color and make it a cleanable semi gloss because it will still get kicked and hit a lot with feet, shoes, and other random stuff if you have kids.
Here is a link that might be useful: painted risers
Sorry - it's the risers I am considering.
Here is an example of the look:
Of course, these floors are dark... but the hallway and staircase is very similar to what I have.
I do love the look of the light walls - this is a very clean and pleasing look to me.
If you really love it- then why not paint the risers? It is your house. And if you are eventually ever going to have the floors refinished then they can just take the paint off then anyway, right?
I did love our risers painted. But honestly I wouldn't have done it if I had nice wood. But I am a wood lover. But I do see your point, I am not a fan of that color of wood either. I did sand and refinish the rest of the stairs in the apartment before painting the risers, and I stained them a darker finish.
I still personally don't think I would keep the brown or go white, however, I am no expert on this. I would however post in the decorating forum if I were you. Those ladies are fabulous!!!! I would be very curious as to their take on this. And you will get far more responses over there also.
I love the look of white risers. We just did a basement staircase in hardwood thanks to the dog ruining the carpet. I like the break up of wood and painted wood. I think it adds character. I used BM oil based paint because shoes will mark it up a bit. So far any shoe mark has wiped right off mine.
Here is the after...
With the lighter walls and the painted railing and risers, my foyer has been transformed!

Rabbis Should Double Down on Pop Culture
Growing up I had fond respect for the senior rabbi of my congregation. I learned much from him, but I never truly connected with him on a personal level. Other rabbis around town were the ones with whom I had more meaningful discussions and the rabbis I would later point to as influences for my own path toward the rabbinate.
I was thinking about this recently when I was asked what a successful rabbi looks like in the 21st century. Certainly, rabbis today must be intelligent, engaging, personable and funny. That hasn't changed since the time of the Mishnah. The questioner found my response intriguing when I included that a successful rabbi today watches popular television shows and goes to the multiplex to see the latest movies everyone's talking about. What did I mean by that?
Pop culture unites us. An office environment in which both the rank and file employees as well as the boss not only watch the same television shows but also gather around the water cooler (or Keurig) to discuss them the following day will enjoy a camaraderie that leads to more collaboration and productivity. A school teacher who can engage her students by discussing the latest trends in Hollywood will earn their respect and show she is able to talk to them about their interests. A politician who doesn't only talk to his constituents about politics, but also connects by talking about the latest sports story will remove the barriers that often exist.
So too it is with rabbis, or any religious leader for that matter. I'm not suggesting rabbis should ease up on their scholarship or reference jokes from How I Met Your Mother in all their sermons. Rather, in the 21st century I think people are looking to connect with their spiritual leaders through different access points. A generation ago if people felt their rabbi was there for them in their time of need or was a kind presence during a family celebration, then that was enough. Today, rabbis score points if they can connect to the teenage youth group by discussing the latest Twilight movie or recount the best highlight from that morning's Top Ten on SportsCenter. If they open a sermon with a reference to last week's episode of Homeland, they will grab everyone's attention.
When people say they love how easy it is to connect with their rabbi, they don't just mean that "rabbis are just like us" in an Us Weekly sort of way. Rather, they appreciate how their rabbi is able to connect a message – ethical, spiritual, historical, ritual, etc. – to pop culture. A few years ago, together with an Orthodox rabbinic colleague, I created PopJewish.com. The focus of this blog was to give rabbis a forum to connect Jewish teachings with the pop culture of the day. Essentially, it takes what people are talking about anyway and brings in the Jewish message.
The times when a rabbi wasn't considered a regular person who took out the garbage, had cereal for breakfast or binge watched an entire season of House of Cards are over. There might be some negatives to rabbis letting their guard down and schmoozing with congregants about a mindless fiction book they just downloaded to their Kindle or what they thought of the Oscars last week, but ultimately it makes us more human and more relatable. And that's a good thing.

Hand me my tiara, please
As a rabbi and an activist, I often get called upon to speak at interfaith events of various sorts. Over the years, I've been jealous of the fact that clergy from other faith groups are easily recognizable.
Run a list through your head: what does a priest or minister wear? A Buddhist monk? a nun? OK, then think rabbi. Often rabbis will wear a tallit. And that bugs me.
Initially, I just thought to myself, that it "looked funny." But the more often I saw it, the more it bothered me. A tallit isn't a rabbinic garment. It's a Jewish garment. All Jewish adults should be wearing their tallit daily.
So, if we don't wear a tallit, what should a rabbi wear to identify herself? Perhaps the answer is that we ought not to be trying to single out the rabbis. Although the Jewish tradition views the rabbi (or at least the tzadik, which is, as well know, not necessarily the same thing) as a kli kodesh, a holy vessel, a rabbi is not really supposed to be different from the rest of the Jewish population. She is someone who, yes, models behavior for the community, but her primary role is to be deeply immersed in the laws and traditions of Judaism, and to teach them. Rabbis are just people who have learned the intricacies of Jewish law and practice and the attitude should be "If only all the Lord's people were prophets, that the Lord would bestow His spirit upon them!" But she is not apart from the community – anyone can be that person, if they are willing to put in the time and study, if they are willing to make their life a holy vessel.
At the same time, our tradition does recognize that the rabbi should be respected for the role they play. But it seems to me that perhaps the way to do it is not to repurpose a garment which during prayer serves the purpose of making the individuals wearing it almost anonymous – when one looks up after completing one's prayer of Amidah and sees a sea of wool tallitot around one, there is a certain sense of being a single part of a larger organism. And perhaps this should instead of serving as an opportunity to demonstrate our importance- look, I'm a leader! – maybe we should reconsider, and as clergy, instead of pointing ourselves out, maybe we should take off the tallit, and when we represent the community to the world, be just another Jew, without a special costume, to represent that we could indeed be any Jew, that all of us should be working toward a more perfected world, and that anyone who wants to do so, can, just by stepping up.
And if that doesn't work, well, when I proposed this on facebook, a friend told me he'd get me a mitre. But I have to say, I'd really prefer a tiara. Or maybe a cape.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Having assured the members of London's exclusive Reform Club that he will circumnavigate the world in 80 days, Fogg - stiff, repressed, English - starts by joining forces with an irrepressible Frenchman, Passepartout, and then with a ravishing Indian beauty, Aouda. Together they slice through jungles, over snowbound passes, even across an entire isthmus - only to get back five minutes late. Fogg faces despair and suicide, but Aouda makes a new man of him, able to face even the Reform Club again. Around the World in Eighty Days (1872) contains a strong dose of post-Romantic reality plus extensive borrowing from the author's own Journey to England and Scotland - but not a shred of science fiction. Its modernism lies instead in the experimental literary technique, with parallel plots, a narrator constantly made to look foolish, four characters in search of their own unconscious, and a unique twisting of space and time. Verne's classic, a bestseller for over a century, has never appeared in a critical edition before. William Butcher's stylish new translation moves as fast and as brilliantly as Fogg's own journey. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more. --Ce texte fait référence à l'édition Broché .

How long should curtains be?
I always thought that the curtains should be long enough so that they just kiss the ground, or hovers just a bit above the ground.
But, I was in JC Penny looking at ordering different curtains, and the person working there seemed like she really knew her stuff. And, according to her, she said it was more of a personal preference and that it was perfectly acceptable for the curtains to be shorter.
She said that it was fine too if the curtains were shorter than the ground by a inch or even too short to touch the ground by a couple of inches, and she showed some photographs showcasing that.
With sliding doors in the living room that connects to a patio outside, I was thinking about using grommet curtains that would easily slide back and forth to give you access to the sliding doors and thus to the outside. But, if the curtains are going to be moved back and forth a lot like that, wouldn't it better if there was a clear separation between the floor and ground by a couple of inches so the curtains would never get slowed down by the floor when you use them? Or, would that just look weird and sloppy?
It seems like curtain length is a function of how formal the curtains are- longer curtains are more formal than shorter curtains. Fancy, silk curtains are longer where they pool a bit on the floor. But, these grommet curtains will be casual, 100% cotton in the living room between the living room and the patio outdoors.
While it is personal preference, my library drapes came out a couple of inches too short and they looked funny....like a person wearing floods, so we lowered the rod so now they just skim the floor and look so much better. In my bedroom, I let them touch even more til they almost puddle. Or they can stop at a natural break point like a sill or window skirt.
Call it personal preference, but why would someone purposefully choose drapes that are too short to touch the ground by a couple of inches? When I see that, it looks like the curtains or drapes were put up with inattention to detail, possibly by someone trying to cheap out with a shorter length or not wanting to take the time to hem longer ones.
If there is an issue such as a radiator in the way, then form follows function. But otherwise I don't get it.
We have grommet curtains on a rod covering our sliding patio doors. Their is little space above the door to hang the rod due to the soffit, and the curtains are a bit too long, puddling on the floor. I put the hemming project on my to-do list, but would still have them breaking on the floor as nini said. I think it would look like a mistake if the curtains were shorter and hung above the floor. We have no problems moving the panels across the rod and they look nice when they are pulled back which is all of the time except at night.
I was trying to convince myself that too-short curtains would be okay.
To make a long story short, I have a place that's a rental and I needed to wash the drapes because the tenant sneaked in a cat. After washing the curtains, they all shrunk unevenly but all of them are now too short to be re-used. They're not long enough to just touch the carpet by a good couple of inches.
To top it all off, I can't just buy new curtains to replace the ones that shrunk cause they don't sell the same style of curtains in the same length anymore. And, these sliding doors are extra tall so 108" curtains are too short for them.
Marvelousmarvin, maybe curtain rings would add an inch or so to your drapes. They are clip ons and come in varying sizes.
I like the look of drapes kissing the floor but it does make cleaning a bit more work... I do think curtain length is fashion or trend related rather than a real rule tho. Puddled drapes were all the rage ten years ago and now higher hung just to the floor is what I see in shelter mags,and, back in the day window sill length was common too.
Do you sew?
You could add a contrasting band of fabric at the bottom. It would be wider than the amount that had shrunk. I would say maybe a 12" band.
