Personality-wise, I'm not one to panic or to jump to meltdown mode. But today's loss to Wake Forest - or rather the way FSU lost to Wake - has me about as close to a meltdown as I get. So I figured I'd come over to TN to express some early post-game thoughts:
The Good:
- The run game showed some signs of life. The running back committee rushed for 96 yards on 21 carries for a modestly healthy 4.57 yards per carry. The running backs and OL still made mistakes and did not light the world on fire, but it was progress.
- Rashad Greene is rapidly establishing himself as a star. If it were not for Sammy Watkins, Greene would be an early frontrunner for ACC offensive rookie of the year.
- Bjoern Werner is also establishing himself as a force and even a potential All-American. In fact, aside from some penalty issues, the defensive line continues to impress as a whole.
More after the jump...
The Bad:
- Special teams was hardly special today. It was not a vintage effort for Dustin Hopkins, and there were too many mistakes in the return game.
- The secondary had a bad day pretty much all around. The defensive backs were out of position far too much in the passing game. I haven't re-watched the game yet to confirm (and don't know if I can stomach it again), but I also felt that this was a terrible game for the safeties. Too many big plays for Wake Forest, often because a safety took a poor angle or was otherwise out of position.
- The offensive line was terrible in pass protection all day long. It is tempting to place a lot of the blame on Andrew Datko's absence, but that would unfairly absolve the rest of the unit from blame, and they all deserve a lot of blame. A team of Wake Forest's talent level should almost never be able to get close to the QB when rushing just three. Unfortunately, that's not the way it happened.
- This is not a great defense. I'm not even sure they are "very good." They are capable of great things, but they gave up way too much - and way, way too many big plays - to Wake Forest for them to claim that they have arrived.
- The penalties are out of control. Just...out of control.
The Inexcusable
- The coaching from Florida State was far from impressive today. The mental errors are starting to go off the charts, and the coaches have to take responsibility as a whole for that. One of the things that coaches have to instill in their players is an understanding of the situation. On an early third down play, Rashad Greene made a boneheaded error failing to get upfield and costing FSU a first down because he was trying to make a play. In the third quarter, Jermaine Thomas made a play that might keep him on the bench the rest of the season when he backtracked and handed Wake Forest a gift of two points (and completely squelching the momentum FSU had gained at the end of the first half). FSU also lacked the intensity and urgency that Wake Forest brought to the game. FSU's coaches need to find a way to motivate these players every single week, or the recruiting rankings just won't amount to a hill of beans.
- Why the hell didn't EJ Manuel start today's game? This goes back to coaching, but it deserves its own bullet point. This is the one that truly infuriates me. If he was healthy enough to go in and play, then I have to believe he was healthy enough to start. Was he unable to practice this week, and thus held out for that reason? Or did Jimbo Fisher not take Wake Forest seriously enough, thinking that he could sneak another week of rest for Manuel? This is a question that needs to be put to Fisher this week.
- I'm growing concerned about the playcalling. Yes, another coaching issue, but also deserving of its own bullet point. The biggest issue I have is Fisher's abandonment of the running game - once again. In past weeks the justification has been that the running game was struggling and the passing game was far better. OK, fine. But in today's game the run game saw some success, the OL was struggling with pass blocking, the QB play was not stellar, and there was a true freshman making his first start at left tackle. Yet Fisher seemed itchy to abandon the running game. Fisher called just four designed runs in the second half! One of the called runs sprung for 23 yards, seemingly because Wake Forest was caught completely off-guard by FSU actually running the football. Three incomplete passes later (which, admittedly, were open), FSU was forced to kick a field goal. OK, I get it, Jermaine Thomas is a bonehead (albeit a bonehead whose error was made possible by the 15 yard sack on first down). The starter went down early. None of the running backs are special. But the passing game wasn't exactly lighting it up and the errors were compounding. There was no reason to abandon the running game so thoroughly and so quickly, and that's another thing Jimbo Fisher needs to be questioned about this week (not "Why isn't the running game working," but, "Why aren't you trying to run the ball?").
Hey, ACC Network, did it really take you until the fourth quarter to make an issue of (or notice) the fact that FSU's senior All-ACC left tackle was not playing and had been replaced by a true freshman? That might have been something you wanted to address.
There's going to be a meltdown for FSU fans over the next 24-48 hours. The coaching staff and team will, frankly, deserve a lot of criticism. On the other hand, people tend to go so far over the top that "fire" websites start going up and crazy suggestions start getting made. For that reason, I want to be very clear that my criticisms are not reflective of a desire for some radical change. The staff just needs to get together and find a way to resolve these issues. Every game from here on out needs to be taken seriously and the team needs to be motivated. I don't care that it is Duke up next. FSU needs to come out with intensity (and with all of its starters actually starting) and play every game the rest of the way like they have something to prove - because they do.

What You Ought To Learn About Mortgage loans For Your Residence
Reach out for help if you are having trouble with your mortgage. If you are behind on payments or struggle to keep up with them, try looking into counseling. Counseling agencies are available to you wherever you may live and many are sponsored by HUD. Such counselors can provide no-charge foreclosure prevention help. You can locate them on their website, or by calling their office.
Know your credit score before beginning to shop for a home mortgage. If your credit score is low, it can negatively affect the interest rate offered. By understanding your credit score, you can help ensure that you get a fair interest rate. Most lenders require a credit score of at least 680 for approval. Once you decide to get a home financing, be sure you look around. Well before picking out the best option for you, get quotations from 3 diverse mortgage agents and financial institutions. Though, interest rates are crucial, there are more points you should think about also including closing expenses, points and kinds of financial loans.
Try getting pre-approved for your mortgage. It helps you know what you're able to spend before you bid on properties. It also helps you avoid getting attached to a home that is out of your price range. The process is generally simple: you contact a mortgage lender, submit the personal and financial information, and then wait for their response. Some information in this process will include the amount you can afford and your loan's interest rate. You will receive a pre-approval letter from your lender, and then you'll have the funds as soon as the seller accepts the bid. Your pre-approval process may not be this simple, but it could be. Do not sign a house mortgage contract prior to deciding to have decided that it is obvious that you are in a position to pay the monthly payments. Even though the financial institution approves you for a mortgage loan does not always mean that you may actually endure it economically. Very first perform the math concepts so you are aware that you will be effective in keeping the house that you acquire.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
The little yellow house that was once Amuse is now home to chef Antonio Murè (formerly of Piccolo and Il Carpaccio). If you've ever wanted a boisterous Italian family dinner, here you go. Waiters carry trays of pasta up and down the staircase that separates the kitchen from the cozy (understatement) dining room, shouting to one another in Italian. Firm baby artichokes mixed with lump crabmeat make for a massive starter. The house-cured quail prosciutto is a worthy challenger to pork. Tagliolini with zucchini and walnut pesto is on the raw side of al dente, but we don't mind. Nor do we the burrata melted atop our veal chop. Murè's not doing anything new here, but that's fine by us.
Success! Your message should arrive shortly.

Posted by Erin Fleming, guest blogger
This is part of a series covering BWB Founder Xavier's recent trip to Africa.
*November 12, 2007
I am overwhelmed by this day! We are in Zululand, or the KwaZulu-Natal province, near the town of Eshowe, which is the hub for many small villages for miles around. Zululand is in eastern South Africa and is marked by poverty and high rates of HIV/AIDS. This devastation is contrasted by the beautiful rolling green hills dotted with grass huts, the fantastic beadwork adorning dresses, hats and necklines everywhere and the smiles on all the faces we see.
Zululand received a container of books from Books for Africa, sponsored by BWB, last year and we are visiting schools that have a library now as a result. We have seen five schools today and at each we met faculty and students, wandered into classrooms and were treated to student dance and singing performances. I am moved by the love the teachers pour into their profession here, and the earnestness of the learners, as the students are called here.
I will begin describing our day with the end of the day, so that you readers can know something of where the learners come from.
One student we met, named Nomkhosi, invited us to come to her home; she's being sponsored by Nance, an American woman in our group. Nomkhosi was chosen to receive the sponsorship because she is one of the best of her school, and is very needy.
Nomkhosi and Nance on far right, with Nomkhosi's family.
We headed to her place after our school visits. After the rainy afternoon, the red clay roads turned to mud and we almost didn't make the drive up the hillside in our overloaded rental van! We arrived to a gaggle of kids accompanied by several women and an older gentleman. The multi-generational family lives in a group of huts, which have particular uses. One was for cooking, others for sleeping and so forth. I liked that the grammas allow the baby goats to hang out in the cooking hut but the chickens had to stay outside. They had materials for another hut and a plot of land already leveled. I didn't ask about the lack of men-folk around (the guy in the video came with us). Were they working somewhere? Still alive? It isn't strange to find a family with a grandmother and kids in this area, so I wonder.
Check back for photos and video of the schools we saw today!

Women's golf opens 2010-11 season with Labor Day Shootout
Related Links
The JU women's golf team rewrote the school record book last season, posting the best stroke average in program history.
The Dolphins will look to break that record again and make more history as they open the 2010-11 season with the inaugural Labor Day Shootout on the prestigious PLAYERS Stadium Course at the TPC at Sawgrass.
"The team is excited about getting to start their season against some great teams on a great golf course," said JU head coach Mike Blackburn. "We made a lot of progress last season and this is great opportunity to see where we are against some of the better teams in the country.
"We really want to thank the great people at the TPC for helping us make this happen. Their support of college golf is making a tremendous impact here in Jacksonville."
Jacksonville will be facing perennial postseason invitees No. 19 Florida, UCF, Coastal Carolina and Chattanooga, as well as Atlantic Sun Conference rival USC Upstate. The six teams will play two rounds on Monday.
One of the Dolphins to watch will be sophomore Francesca Yong, who carded the best 54-hole total in JU history at the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship last season. She posted two of the top five rounds in school history that week as well, an even-par 72 in the first round and a two-under par 70 in the final round to finish in the top 10 for the week.
"Francesca came a long way last year and had her game in top shape when we went to conference," Blackburn said. "She has a lot of talent and I look forward to seeing her make even more progress this season."
While Yong had the strong finish to last season, the trio of Kristen Boettcher, Melissa Magdor and Meghan Hughes look to get their final college season off to a good start.
Boettcher led the team in stroke average last season, narrowly beating out Magdor and Hughes – all of which averaged better than 79, placing them in the top five on the school's single-season list.
"I was really pleased with the way all three played last season," Blackburn said. "The one thing I'm hoping for this season is more consistency out of each of them."
The lineup is rounded out by Morgan Jackson and Jessica Williams, with freshman Carlie Gehlhausen playing as an individual.
Jacksonville's first tee time is set for 9 a.m., as the Dolphins will play both rounds with UCF and Florida. Admission is free.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – Several Lubbock residents are angry after a local sports complex is asking City Council to expand their business.
Premier Sports Complex is located on Memphis Drive and 90th Street, in the middle of the Rain Tree subdivision. For about 30 days out of the year, parking becomes a problem for some of those residents as Premier Customers Park along the streets for sports leagues.
Many of those residents have already written City Council upset about the possible expansion.
One Texas Tech professor wrote, "Memphis Drive has become impossible to navigate safely". Other residents also complained about too many people parking along Memphis, while this resident wrote,
"It makes no sense to double or triple the number of its customers to add to the problem. It never should have been allowed in a residential and school area to start with".
Premier owner Curry Blackwell said that's not the goal.
"It's not to bring in more traffic it's to flow the traffic that's existing here back to an area on site where they can park on our property, said Blackwell.
He said since Premier opened, they've continued to bring in more sports leagues for the community and that their wanting to expand to help fix the parking problem for those residents.
Part of the expansion includes adding a new building to draw parking away from the residential areas.
"By having the new building, it will basically amount to 40 new parking spaces, and should take away some more of that problem," said Blackwell.
Community members will be given a chance to express their concerns during a hearing on Thursday during a City Council session.

A 57-year-old man, believed to be the flat owner, has died after a fire broke out at a HDB flat in Woodlands Crescent. SCDF says preliminary findings indicate the fire may have accidentally started from an electrical origin.
SINGAPORE: A 57-year-old man died after a fire broke out in a Housing and Development Board (HDB) flat at Woodlands Crescent early this morning (June 10).
The man, believed to be the owner of the flat, was found unconscious in the toilet. He suffered a cardiac arrest, and paramedics immediately administered CPR on him and this was continued enroute to hospital, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said in a statement. Firefighters also rescued another 23-year-old male and a 58-year-old female found standing on the window ledge outside one of the unit's bedrooms. Both suffered from smoke inhalation and were sent to hospital.
About 150 residents of the affected block were evacuated from their homes, SCDF said.
SCDF said it received a call for assistance at 3.18am, and put out the fire in 20 minutes using two water jets. The fire started in one of the bedrooms of a unit in Block 788E before spreading outwards, resulting in the room being "totally damaged" and the living room "partially damaged", it added.
The SCDF said on Wednesday (June 11) that preliminary findings suggest the blaze was an accident and could have started as an electrical fire in the study room.
It added the number of electrical fires in residential premises in 2013 increased by 10 cases from the previous year. Majority of the electrical fires were usually caused by electrical appliances or machineries that short-circuited or sockets that were overloaded with electrical wirings and appliances, it said.

The Murders of Ken Stahl and Carolyn Oppy-Stahl
A Pair of Ninjas
The police interviewed residents of the Avanti Apartments in Anaheim where Adriana Vasco had lived and Tony Satton worked. None of the residents had anything good to say about Satton. Raul "Sean" Ruiz, who had been friendly with Satton at one point, called him a crack-addicted "sissy boy" obsessed with guns. According to Ruiz, Satton possessed a handgun and a shotgun but asked Ruiz to get him a "throw-away gun."
Ruiz's brother, Raymond, told the police that Satton had shown him his latest weapon, a "Western-type revolver," two weeks before the murders. Furthermore, on the night of the murders, Raymond Ruiz saw Satton and Vasco leaving the apartment complex together, both dressed completely in black. He said they looked like a pair of ninjas.
Later that night, sometime between 9:00 and 11:00 p.m., Sean Ruiz ran into Satton, who tossed him a shell casing and cryptically told him it was a souvenir. Satton told Ruiz that he'd just completed a mission that had earned him $30,000 in cash.
According to Sean Ruiz, a few days after the murders Satton had asked him to hide a revolver for him. Sean hid the gun in the bushes at the apartment complex, but an hour later Satton asked for it back. Sean wasn't sure what Satton did with it but thought he might have thrown it in the ocean.
Another resident at the Avanti Apartments, Ryan Casas, told police that Satton had asked him prior to the murders if he could help him get a gun. Casas put Satton in touch with a man named Oscar who sold Satton a .357 revolver.
Following up on the Greenville, North Carolina, phone number on Vasco's phone bill, detectives sent Satton's California driver's license photo to the Pitt County Sheriff's Office, hoping that someone there would recognize him. In early November 2000, the photo landed on Sergeant Ron Smith's desk. Smith immediately recognized the man in the photo. It was the Weasel.
Smith got in touch with Detectives Heaney and Villalobos and revealed that the man they were looking for was Dennis Godley. Godley had finally been apprehended by North Carolina authorities at his father's house on August 18, 2000, and was being held at the Tidewater Regional Jail in Suffolk, Virginia. Smith told the detectives that when the arresting officers had driven Godley to jail, he had said something about facing "lifer" charges in California, but the officers had assumed that this was a whiskey-fueled brag.
Heaney and Villalobos packed their bags and booked a flight to North Carolina. They wanted to have a little talk with the Weasel.

The Forsyth Farmer's Market has teamed up with Wholesome Wave Georgia to help those on food stamps stretch their budgets.
The money you use on your EBT/SNAP card, formerly known as Food Stamps, will be doubled at the Forsyth Farmer's Market.
"I can come here and they will run my food stamp card if they run it for $10 they give me $20 worth of tokens," said Margaret Standard.
Doubling the amount of money Margaret Standard can spend on fresh produce comes at no extra cost.
"Oh there are some three dollar pecans, technically only cost me a $1.50," said Standard.
The money used to double the tokens not only benefits those who are on food stamps but also creates more money to go around to the local vendors.
"2012 was our best year for snap benefits we doubled $22,000 in SNAP benefits which means $44,000 went into the bellies of our neighbors and $44,000 went into the pockets of our farmers," said the Forsyth Farmer's Market Coordinator, Teri Schell.
"The price that a farmer gets when you sell through a distributor is just cut drastically so to have this farmers market to come to and sell direct to the local people is just wonderful," said Berry Farms vendor, Stacy Berry.
Stacy Berry, an organic farmer, said allowing food stamp holders to get more produce for their buck will help everyone achieve a healthier lifestyle.
"It's cheaper to buy bad food and so this little incentive to buy good food for the families is just a win, win for everybody for the farmer for the family for the local economy and everybody," said Berry.
If you're interested in checking out the Forsyth Farmer's Market it's open every Saturday until December 28th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. You can find it at the south end of Forsyth Park at Bull Street and Park Avenue.

I've been captivated by this image since I found it earlier this week. It was taken by David W Coigach and posted at deviantART. Taken at Kirkcudbright, Dumfries and Galloway (Southwest Scotland), this imagery seems so right for Heavenfield with the ravens circling overhead. Ok, so I'll admit heavenfield didn't have a stone cross, which seems really odd, but I guess a miracle working wooden cross was enough!

Heavenfield, Hefenfeld, and Caelestis Campus
A little while ago Tim Clarkson of Senchus brought an Andrew Breeze paper about the history and derivation of the name Hefenfeld*, the Old English version of Heavenfield, to my attention. Its taken me a while to get to it but here is what I think.
It is clear to anyone who has looked at the history of this place-name or even just the place-names that surround it, that versions of hefenfeld have spread over a wide landscape. S Oswaldes Asche is mentioned in several late medieval accounts presumably referring to the cross or a version of it. The entire valley was called halydene (holy valley) by Leland. I know I've read of more heavenfield related place-names than Breeze lists; suffice it to say that the holy site left a big footprint in local place-names and lore.
There is also nothing new about the annoying tendency of historians and antiquarians to confuse the camp site of Hefenfeld (modern Heavenfield) with the nearby battlefield site of Denisesburna. (Many otherwise good historians have made real hash out of the places and dates for Oswald's camp site and battlefield!) This confusion reaches well back into the Middle Ages and may be a reflection of the vague notion about where both were located from the very beginning (though most modern mistakes are just careless reading of Bede). Breeze reviews all of this in considerable detail, although it is only important to his argument to show that the name for the site was never very fixed. [He says that he has shown the date to be 633 but I don't think he has shown that at all.]
Breeze then gets down to his main argument on the relationship and derivation of the names hefenfeld and caelestis campus. First he rules out the Old English name Hefa as a source for hefenfeld, though his reasons don't seem very sound. Hefa's becoming 'hefan' as in modern Hevingham in Norfolk doesn't seem that far from Hefenfeld to me. Breeze opts to take Bede at his word, that Hefenfeld is derived from caelestis campus. Fair enough. The English would have been new enough settlers in that area that English place names like X's field are unlikely to be completely supplanted by alternative place name lore by Bede's time (though there may have been some intentional renaming of landmarks in English from their British names).
Breeze then turns to the "curious expression" of Caelestis campus. He points to two parallel constructions elsewhere in Bede's History: campus roborum ('plain of oaks', Durrow) and in the Moore Bede campus Cyil, the plain of Kyle in Galloway. Equally he finds more similar constructions in Welsh-Latin texts including Campus Gaii, the plain of Gaius, the name for Bede's Winwead in the Angles Cambriae and the Historia Brittonum (HB). The HB also includes campus Elleti, where the boy Ambrosius Aurelianus is found my Vortigern's men. Looking to hagiography Breeze finds campus Heli in the Life of Padarn and Campus Malochu in a charter linked with St Dyfrig. Ok, so we have campus being a common Latin word for plain in Welsh-Latin and apparently taken up for at least place names in early English Latin. This wasn't really in doubt but its good to see them all collected together. At this point I would like to point out that three of these plains are named for people (Gaius, Elleti, and Malochu) and two are descriptive, plain of oaks in Ireland and plain of brine/salt water (heli) in Brittany. Not surprising for its date and topic, Breeze zeroes in on campus Gaii for comparison.
Since Welsh-Latin used campus Gaii 'plain of Gaius' for the battlefield of Uinued, where the Roman road from York to Donchester crosses the river Gwent, Caelestis campus may be explained not as 'heavenly plain' but as 'plain of Caelestis'. It would be a similar place-name survival from Roman times. There is no difficulty about Caelestis as a personal name in Celtic Britain. An inscription of about the year 500 at Barmouth in Gwynedd reads CAELEXTI MONEDORIGI '(monument of) Caelestis Mondorix ('mountain king"). So the evidence suggests that, just as the flood-plain of Gwent was known in British-Latin tradition as campus Gaii, so also the defensive site used by Oswald was known as Caelestis campus, presumably after a local British chieftain or lord, a namesake** of the fifth-century Caelestis of North Wales. (Breeze, p. 196)
First, Caelestis is a late Roman name rendered in modern English as Celestine. It was not uncommon in late antiquity. Pope Celestine I had a tenure from 422 to 432. There is no problem with it being a name in Roman Britain or post-Roman Britain. I don't think its helpful to think of 7th century Britain as Celtic Britain. To me, Celtic Britain was pre-Roman or areas never under Roman control. I don't have a problem with caelestis campus referring to a Roman or Romano-British person. It makes more sense than there being a pagan shrine or sacred tree at the site.
Second, Breeze stresses that it was a plain not a field, a plain being much larger. I just want to say that there is another language issue here between US English and UK English. In US English a plain is a very large, flat stretch of land. When a friend and I visited England several years ago we went to Stonehenge. Apart from our impression that it is much smaller than all of the pictures make it out to be, we both agreed that we would never consider it to be sitting on a plain. We also visited Vindolanda on Hadrian's Wall and Hexham; believe me, I didn't see any plains. There were some large open fields of rolling but very large hills with lots of valleys. Most of what I saw I would consider hillsides. If you all want to see some plains come the US Midwest. I don't have a problem with the translation of campus to field. Besides just because the name wasn't fixed to a specific spot in the later medieval period doesn't mean that it wasn't originally more localized. When looking at this picture of Heavenfield to the right keep in mind that we don't know how wooded the area was in the seventh century. Even so the slope in the land is visible even in this open field picture.
Northumbrian settlers, failing to recognize the personal name in the genitive case here, and taking caelestis as a masculine adjective, seemingly mistranslated the toponym as Hefenfeld. Thereafter Bede could exercise sacred wit on the form, even though in origin it had not more to do with Christian heaven than, say, Anguli in the anonymous Whitby life of Gregory had to do with angeli, Æelli with Alleluia, or Deire with de ira Dei. (Breeze, p. 197)
I've never really bought mistranslation explanations. It takes some knowledge of Latin to make this conversion. The average Northumbrian settler would not know that caelestis meant heavenly (as in the heavens, the sky). Knowledge of Latin means churchmen, and churchmen of presumably Hexham would have a motive to use word play to rename the site a fitting name for their shrine. Remember that Bede gives his explanation of the name in an episode that he credits directly to a source at Hexham. It is possible that visiting churchmen or churchmen stationed at the royal estate of Hexham (before it was given for a monastery) renamed the site using word play. It seems to me that the word play translation makes sense and may have been close enough to a translation of the original name (whose namesake would probably have been long dead) to be acceptable to local Britons.
Andrew Breeze. (2007). Bede's Hefenfeld and the Campaign of 633. Northern History, XLIV: 2, p. 193-197.
*Hefenfeld is also sometimes written as hefenfelth.
**Namesake means different things in US English and UK English. In UK English namesake just means sharing the same name. In US English namesake usually means that one is named directly after the other, ie. John Jr is the namesake of John Sr but not of unrelated Johns.
Negotiating Conversion
I was just looking at one of my favorite articles on St Oswald this morning. Tolley's "Oswald's Tree" is a unique article that sets Oswald's actions and the development of his veneration within the semi-pagan times that he lived. So few people consider the pre-Christian context and what that means for conversion. Today, the word conversion is often used for switching from one Christian denomination, from one Abrahamic religion to another, or from no religion at all to a faith. While all of these conversions are major life changes, they don't really compare well to the conversion from Germanic or Celtic belief systems to Christianity. Perhaps the best comparison in today's would be Hindu to Christian. Of the major world religions today, only Hindu has the multiplicity of gods and the well developed belief system tied to the land and customs that can compare with Germanic and Celtic pre-Christian belief systems. Although Christian missionaries have been in India since the time of the apostles (reputedly St Thomas), Christianity is practiced by less than 5% of the people of India.
I wish I could remember where I read a great quote about conversion being the ability to translate symbols from one system to another. Although every belief system certainly has unique attributes and beliefs, all religious belief systems must be able to answer some of the same questions to the satisfaction of the conversion generation, particularly on questions on creation and an afterlife. Various cultures imagined creation and the afterlife differently -Hebrew, Egyptian, Greek, Indian, Norse and German all imagined differently. Some saw creation as a well-watered garden, others as the products of fire and ice.
As the secondary title title of this blog shows: "Caelestis campus, a name which it certainly received in the days of old…signified that a heavenly sign was to be erected there" shows, Oswald's first association with a tree was at a place that was already known as a holy site. It was at Heavenfield (hefenfelth) that Oswald chose a tree and had a cross made from it on the site and used it to lead his retinue in prayer before the battle of Denisesburna the next day. Trees held a central role in Germanic belief systems. The World Tree stood at the center of a beautiful meadow with its roots reaching into the underworld and its branches reaching the heavens. The well of wisdom was located at its base and supernatural birds rested in its branches. This is a landscape that will be associated with Oswald's death at Maserfelth/CrosOswald/Oswestry/Oswald's Tree in the western midlands as well. The beginning of his career and evangelistic efforts is at Heavenfield, so the cross at Heavenfield, perhaps envisioned as standing in an open plain, evokes some of the same imagery — the cross linking heaven and earth. Over the 1400 years since King Oswald erected the cross at Heavenfield, its exact location has been lost; the church and meadow there now do not go back to the seventh century. Yet, placenames reflecting the holy place spread wider to include the what was once possibly one continuous highlands meadow or estate. It surely helps that this part of Northumbria is fairly mountainous so there are wide vistas.

ATLANTA (AP) - Josh Smith scored 31 points, Al Horford added 22 and the Atlanta Hawks beat the Detroit Pistons 126-119 in double overtime on Wednesday night.
The Hawks blew a 22-point, fourth-quarter lead as Detroit reserves Will Bynum and Charlie Villanueva scored a combined 26 points in the final period of regulation.
Atlanta has won two straight and 8 of 12. Detroit has lost 7 of 9.
Bynum finished with 31 points, one less than his career high, and assisted on the last two baskets of regulation, when Andre Drummond's dunk cut the lead to two and Austin Daye's 3-pointer gave the Pistons a 101-100 lead with 4 seconds remaining.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - More Tennessee women are getting handgun carry permits.
According to the Tennessee Department of Public Safety, there were 32,354 permits issued to women in 2012, an increase of 55 percent since 2008 when 14,463 permits were issued.
More women all across East Tennessee are taking extra measures to arm themselves. Knoxville resident Ann Rasmussen is in the process of getting a handgun permit.
Until recently, Rasmussen had never touched a gun, but now, recently widowed, she's a single parent to her two children.
"I needed to do something to empower myself to feel like I was capable enough to protect them if something ever did happen," Rasmussen said.
Rasmussen is part of the increasing number of women getting handgun permits.
The owners of Coal Creek Armory in West Knox County say they've seen a dramatic rise in the amount of women taking handgun carry permit classes.
The armory now offers a handgun permit and instructional classes exclusively for women.
Coal Creek Armory offers time on the shooting range to women on Tuesdays for no charge, it's part of "Women's Day" at Coal Creek on Tuesdays.
Sandra Ticer teaches handgun carry permit and instructional classes for women at Coal Creek.
"We're seeing women actually taking their safety and security more seriously and protecting themselves, and its a big need. Having been a victim of violent crime myself, I can tell you that there is a definitely need for women being able to defend themselves," said Ticer.
The rate of violent crime increased nationwide for the first time in two decades, according to the Department of Justice report released in 2012.
"There is more danger out there, more crazy people doing crazy things and it just gives you peace of mind," said Knoxville resident Stella Davis.
Others say the idea of gun ownership is more than a means of protection, and can be empowering.
"What I was surprised to find out is how much I enjoy it. I like the sportsmanship of it," said Knoxville resident Kristi Hodas.
The latest Tennessee Department of Safety statistics show there are 431,258 permit holders in the state. Knox County has 27,742.
In 2012, 114,031 permits were issued across the state compared to 62,185 in 2008.

It was the kind of day that most people could only dream of. Renee Deal A Day Hancock had closed four timeshare vacations deals with her clients before noon on Oct. 6, 2005. She was having a great day on the job.
Her bosses were so impressed that they let her leave her Las Vegas sales office early. She headed out to Olive Garden to meet a friend for lunch.
Shortly after noon, a drunk driver headed the wrong way hit her car, leaving her disabled and unemployed.
I had to have three levels of my neck replaced. I had to learn how to walk again, talk again, write again, everything like from kindergarten, said Hancock, who later relocated to South Florida to be near relatives.
Even before that accident, Hancock, 46, had some major health challenges. A month after her son Sean was born in 2001, she was diagnosed with the first of two kinds of cancers - cervical and ovarian cancer. Now she is in the fourth year of treatments for kidney cancer. As of July, she has had more than two dozen surgeries related to her different illnesses.
Despite it all, Hancock still has more smiles than frowns and often finds a way to make jokes. And that has helped her overall health immensely, said her cardiologist, Dr. Leonard Pianko.
When patients have multiple problems at once, an upbeat spirit goes a long way.
Everyones dealt a different hand, some better some worse, but optimism goes a long way, Pianko said. Its hard to prove in a laboratory, but it helps.
Hancock is comforted by the quick wit of her 12-year-old son, who was born with an enlarged heart and suffers from ADD. The seventh grader at Highland Oaks Middle excels at math and loves playing games on the family computer.
I would probably have given up by now if I was completely alone, because its not easy, Hancock said. If I didnt have him, if I didnt see his face every single day, I dont think that Id be able to keep trying sometimes.
The two now live in a one-bedroom apartment in North Miami Beach, complete with a fish tank filled with Christmas decorations so the familys 4-month-old cat Missy wont scratch them up.
We live strictly on disability, said Hancock, who is divorced from Seans father. We were getting child support but were no longer getting that,
Hancock remains in touch with Seans paternal grandmother, but most of her support comes from her family in South Florida. Her brother, Mitchell Berkman, 50, helped Renee, Sean and their dad move from Nevada when they could no longer receive proper care.
He showed up with a truck and said, youre leaving, said Hancock.
They moved to Sunny Isles Beach in 2008 in a three-bedroom apartment with her father, Sydney Berkman, 74. But when her dad was placed in an assisted living facility, her income took a hit and they could not longer afford the Sunny Isles Beach address.
Berkman said that before Hancock moved to Florida he was not as close to his sister. Now, he admires her dedication and spirit in making sure she and her son got what they needed.
Nobody in their right mind would have kept going, but [she] kept strong and said Im not taking no for an answer, Berkman said. We rub the lamp and somehow that genie is still inside granting wishes.
When it comes to their latest wish, Hancock struggled to describe what she wanted for her and Sean. She spent years selling people timeshares and dream vacations, but said she has never taken a vacation of her own.
What I did was, I sold my dream. I went in and sold what I wanted to do, said Hancock.
Because she and Sean lived near the beach when they first moved to South Florida, they have an affinity for the water.
And that has partially inspired their wish.
The Hancocks want to take a trip to the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas, or go on a Disney cruise line. Sean added that he would love to swim with dolphins, while Renee wants to mark snorkeling and scuba diving off her bucket list.
I would love to go on a vacation with my son, some time that we could say was bonding and fun, with no doctors, Hancock said. Its always fighting to get something. Its doctors, and school. Thats what our life is.
Karin Dryer, of Big Brother Big Sisters of Greater Miami, said she nominated Renee because she was a stand-out parent who wasnt, bitter and angry at life.
Shes very responsive and very diligent with everything, said Dryer, a relationship management specialist. She is not a victim. She mentioned in conversation that she and Sean had never been on a trip.
When Dryer suggested it as a wish, Hancock said it would be unbelievable for such a wish to come true.
Beyond the trip, her real wishes are seeing Sean succeed and helping others who suffer with multiple ailments.
Since she cant work anymore, Hancock wants to start a nonprofit website one day that consults experts to give tips on how to get proper healthcare for those having financial issues.
But, right now, her son keeps her going.
At least Im here to see this and thats the best part of all of it, she said.

The 2012 Woodbine Mile was an excellent case study of what happens when you combine a top class runner with a picture perfect trip around the course. Not only was Wise Dan the overwhelming winner of the Woodbine Mile, but he also received on of the best trips of any horse in the field. Racing near the inner hedge for much of the race, Wise Dan passed early leader Worthadd (IRE) on the inside coming off the far turn and put away the field under mild urging from jockey John Velazquez. Hunters Bay and Cityscape (GB) gave chase inside the final quarter mile but their efforts did little to trouble the winner.
Third place finisher Cityscape (GB) did well to finish in the top three after covering the most ground of any horse in the field - 5,377 feet. According to the Trakus data, Cityscape averaged 38.6 mph during the race, just a tick slower than Wise Dan's 38.7 mph, but he finished four lengths behind the winner due primarily to a wide trip. Cityscape could be a great horse to bet next time out at inflated odds.
The Woodbine Mile is a one-turn mile (one of the few one-turn turf miles you'll find in North American race), while the Breeders' Cup Mile will be a two-turn affair at Santa Anita. That shouldn't be any kind of issue for Wise Dan as he's proved over and over again that he can run on a variety of different surfaces, distances and pace scenarios. Not only is he arguably the best turf horse in North America right now, but he's also the most versatile horse in training.

Native Arabic Internet Footprint of the Washington Institute Middle East "Think Tank"
This is one of several in a series of LanguageFerrets Middle East "think tank" datasets where the
extent of the native Arabic Internet "footprint" of the given organization here being:
The Washington Institute
The unique datasets by LanguageFerret can be described in this nutshell:
What LanguageFerret can do is derive or define a true international Internet "footprint" of any
names, terms and regular words with unparalled precision, speed and accuracy.
Select the names, terms and regular words that you would doing a search of the engine of your
choice (probably Google) in ANY language's alphabet or character set that is present or
represented on the Internet in any combination. For example the search terms for Oakland Raiders
can be in Cyrillic (Russian), Arabic and Korea making for a pretty obscure but valid combination.
With respect to LanguageFerret these are called "Primary Terms"
From the search engine results select an additional list of names, terms and regular words that you
want to examine for each of the top web pages or URLs your search engine returns. With respec
to LanguageFerret these are called "Auxiliary Terms". The same things apply to Auxiliary Terms
for ANY language's alphabet and mix and matching them etc. and Auxiliary Terms may or may not
be some or all of the Primary Terms and the Auxiliary list can be as extensive as the user desires
with the inherent tradeoff the larger the Auxiliary List the slower the processing or dispositioning
of each web page.
Without going into great detail here several languages have different "encodings". While one web
page's encoding may appear exactly like another if its encoding is not recognized or "seen", the
web page will be missed. LanguageFerret recognizes most, if not all encodings.
The value resulting dataset or the difference between a null or no result dataset versus one that
abounds with pertinent URLs/web pages depends on the skill of the user in the same regard as
one doing any search engine. Hopefully this nutshell has sufficiently explained the gist and
uniqueness of LanguageFerret datasets.
For a further description and examples please go to this infochimps link:
The Primary Term(s) for the
Washington Institute
dataset is/are:

See, I have 3 kids and a hectic life, and I rarely get to sit an watch an entire Knick game. Last night, I actually did get to watch an entire Knick game - that stinker of a loss to the Bulls. I also saw the last few minutes of the loss to the Pacers.
I know folks are saying all kinds of shit about the state of the Knicks, from "Amar'e's Done" to "Prigioni Sucks" to "Woodson is a crappy coach" to "They're not trying".
I didn't see any of that.
First of all, the Bulls and the Pacers are really good defensive teams. They both play good defense against the pick and roll, which is the Knicks' bread and butter. The Bulls have a very good frontcourt. Sans Rose, their backcourt isn't the best, but they've got some good NBA players. On offense, they played with good pace and passed the ball crisply.
The Knicks, on the other hand, are being exposed in Felton's absence. Felton had the balls and authority to control the ball, penetrating and using his very good ballhandling to get into the paint. His pick and roll chemistry with Tyson is special. Yes, his shooting was cold once his hands got hurt. But he was still initiating the offense.
Now, we have Kidd playing the point. Kidd is old and past his prime. Sticking him at the 2 was sort of a stroke of genius and luck for us this season. Now that he's forced to do all the point guardy things, he's being exposed. The pick and roll doesn't work as well.
Both Kidd and Pablo are doing an awful lot of dribbling up and handing J.R. or Melo the ball. And those guys can penetrate and pass, but they're mostly looking to shoot themselves. Combine that with playing elite defensive teams, and it's a recipe for stagnation. That's what we've seen.
In that Bulls game, I thought the Knicks, including Amar'e, were showing a fair amount of energy on D, but Deng was friggin' unconcious, and Melo was ice cold. As the Bulls lead grew, the Knicks started panicking and gambling on D (and for offensive rebounds), and that led to more open shots, which the Bulls hit like crazy. Meanwhile, Melo remained cold. All of that = 20 point deficit.
About midway through the second quarter, the Bulls hot shooting finally cooled down a bit. And we played even with them the rest of the way, until they relaxed a bit and Melo got hot. Hence the quasi-comeback.
Our perimeter defense is exploitable, that's no secret. Not having Camby and Wallace makes that problem more acute. But Shump is coming back. Wallace and Camby should be back at some point. Stoudemire should at least start providing some shotblocking as he ramps up. Help is on the way on D.
But without Felton, our offense can't get into a groove against really good defensive teams. The pick and roll doesn't work without him. He's coming back too, but to me, this stretch highlights how the loss of one guy is killing too much of our offense. That leads to Felton playing too many minutes and the Knicks being sunk if he's hurt. I don't like it.
IF we were to drop Flight White and add another player, it would be better if it was a pass first type of guard capable of penetrating at a high level. What this streak has proven is that Kidd and Prigioni cannot really execute the offense well enough in Ray's absence. And while they both have defensive smarts, they don't have that 'stopper' quality that makes up for it. And neither are going to get any better at their respective ages. So looking toward not just this year, but next year and beyond, I think a young, fast, headstrong backup point guard is what they need.
I'd like to bring in Scott Machado. You know what, I think the guy got buried with Houston because they'd invested so heavily in Lin, and because Toney had more experience and the steady hand, and Harden is a quasi-point guard himself. The Knicks could, ironically, get themselves another Lin miracle if they picked up Machado. Now, he probably wouldn't help any by the time Ray came back. But still, I think, looking at what Kidd and Prigioni are bringing these last few games, Machado would be a more valuable guy to have on the bench than White going forward.

I like to serve these tomatoes during brunch but you'll find that they are versatile enough to serve along side just about any dish.
In today's show, we speak with a number of farmers and producers to find out what sustainability means to them. Then, two recipes using broccoli and snow peas.
We can't get enough of the grill lately. Last week we made chicken and some amazing ribs. Today we're turning pescetarian and grilling salmon and shrimp.

From Paula's Home Cooking
Servings: 4-6 servings
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 45 min
Difficulty: Easy
1 (10-ounce) can minced clams, drained, juice reserved
5 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon Paula Deen's House Seasoning
2 large eggplant
1 cup cracker crumbs
1/2 cup half-and-half
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Peel the eggplant and cut it into thin rounds. Bring a pot of water to boil. Add the House Seasoning, then the eggplant, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain the eggplant well and mash it with 3 tablespoons of the butter.
In a greased casserole, layer the mashed eggplant, the clams, and the cracker crumbs. Dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
Blend the half-and-half with the reserved clam juice. Taste and add salt, if needed. Pour mixture over the casserole, but be sure to use only enough liquid to fully saturate the dish, otherwise, the dish will become too soupy. Bake for 30 minutes.

Athlon: OU's WRs/TEs > UT's WRs/TEs
First of all, this isn't just about OU and UT. I definitely think KU's WR/TE set deserves mention above UT's at this point. But OU's? Athlon seems to think so in their listing of the nation's top five WR/TE corps for 2009: If there is one position where Oklahoma can afford to reload, it's at receiver. Despite the departures of Manuel Johnson, Juaquin Iglesias and Quentin Chaney, the Sooners have the top receiving group in the Big 12.

"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success." ~Henry Ford
By MO LINQUIST
Contributing Writer
Today is my special day. As I write a few simple words I reflect on a Facebook birthday post from one of my friends. Dennis inspired me to have many happy (solar) returns.
It had never occurred to me that this saying came from a place of harnessing the power of the planet we live on as we once again experience a full cycle around our sun.
We think we are so unique, busy with our daily activities, doing our individual chores, living our private lives. The truth is we are all in this together. We have more in common than we realize.
Recently at a high school graduation near Boston, MA the speaker caught a lot of attention as he told the class, "You are not special." He went on to say that, "Even if you're one in a million, on a planet of 6.8 billion that means there are nearly 7,000 people just like you." Being a Gemini I guess that figure doubles for people like me!
I watch people come to our island during vacation time to have some fun, rest and relaxation and uninterrupted time together with family and friends. Recently I was a tourist in Maine.
I gawked at the majesty of the granite mountains of Acadia National Park, the round stones produced by the surf at Hunter's Beach and the beauty of the sunset over Frenchman's Bay.
It was our planet that impressed me the most. The out-of-towners who come to Pleasure Island feel the same way about our little bit of paradise.
Let's all take pride in the beauty of our space by reusing, reducing and recycling products for minimal consumption. I do not care for laws imposing on people to do it or else even though it is illegal in the state of NC to put plastic bottles and aluminum cans in the trash.
I prefer people do it because it is the 'right' thing to do. I prefer people do it naturally because they are consciously aware of their connection to mother earth and a clean environment trickles down to the triple bottom line consisting of people, planet and profit.
I must admit that the 5 cent deposit on plastic bottles and aluminum cans in Maine did encourage a return to the store which made the slight
inconvenience bearable. Otherwise I can easily see those items tossed into the landfill with the rest of the trash.
Wellesley High English teacher David McCullough Jr concluded his speech, "The sweetest joys of life, then, come only with the recognition that you're not special. Because everyone is."
Sustainability is the capacity to endure. Success depends on how we work together in our uniqueness and our commonality. xo mo

Updated at 8 p.m. Wednesday with voter turnout numbers.
Mitt Romney carried Barack Obama in the City of Waukesha, taking 57.8 percent of the vote, despite Obama winning Wisconsin and a second term in office.
Romney had 21,348 votes in Waukesha to Obama's 15,113 – 40.9 percent of the total 36,956 votes cast in Tuesday's presidential election. Obama lost votes in Waukesha compared to 2008 when he obtained 45.5 percent of the vote with 16,302 votes.
About 89 percent of registered voters participated in Tuesday's election. The City of Waukesha had 26 percent of voters vote by absentee and 63 percent of voters voted at the polls.
Results, which came in after 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, are unofficial until canvassing.
At St. Mary's, an estimated 200 new voters registered at the polls, and new voters were signing up at most of the polling locations through the city.
- Missed the day of coverage? Relive it here.
The biggest Election Day concern reported to Patch was at St. Mary's. Officials at Carroll University were concerned that some students may not be allowed to vote because one of the polling places for the university was only accepting housing lists as proof of residency. And many names on those lists have out-of-town addresses.
The university asked poll workers to allow students to vote if they show an ID and a tuition form. While the university had concerns, no problems were reported to Patch.

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly says the top-ranked Fighting Irish will have an early curfew every night they are in Miami preparing to play second-ranked Alabama for the national title.
Kelly told the media Saturday he usually has a 2 a.m. curfew the first night or two on bowl trips so players can have fun. He says the curfew in Miami will be 11 p.m. every night, saying he has told the Irish (12-0) to approach the game as a business trip.
The Irish are seeking their first national championship since 1988. Kelly says the Irish had a physical practice Saturday and will have another Sunday. The Irish head to Miami on Wednesday.
The Irish play Alabama (12-1) in the BCS title game Jan. 7.

How many of you remember criticizing our second round pick of Chad Henne? How many remember that John Beck, our second round pick the year before, was our future? How many of you were happy that we drafted Henne? I was here and still a Dolphin fan after the 1-15 season. I went through all of the debates and people who had a "loss for words" when we drafted Henne. I remember that since Beck had the "Big Arm", the stats, the leadership, and add the fact that he was playing behind a very poor offensive line, was our franchise QB.
Fast Forward to the start of the 2008 season, 1'st of the "New Regime".
We were "grooming Beck" with Henne as our third option. Most said that the pick of Henne "was for insurance". We were going to start the season with McCown. Then out of the sky fell Chad Pennington, a Bill Parcells "type player" whom he wanted. We go on to win the division with an 11-5 record and make it to the playoffs in the single greatest turn-around in NFL History. Many of the "top rated" members here supported Beck, and his only downside, many thought, was his age. You can dig up all of the statements from Beck supporters turned Henne supporters once it seemed clear that Henne was our future. Is this bad? Hell No! We are in fact, just supporting the team that we love, and the moves that our front office makes.
On to the 2009 season, 2'nd of the "New Regime"
We were ready. After the great turn-around, making the playoffs, a couple of nice draft picks, some good fa's, a healthy Ronnie Brown and Chad Pennington with all of the speculation about his arm, to take the division title back home again. We get another 2'nd round pick in Pat White, another QB – that was a proven winner, to be our "Wild Cat" QB. Penne goes down, in comes Henne. This is what most Dolphin fans had wanted, the big armed QB and not the "Noodle Armed" Pennington, whom lead us to a title the year before. People started calling for the head of Dan Henning (I agree with this, and watched his suspect play-calling in Carolina, before being fired for the same reason) because we all thought he wasn't making the most out of Hennes' ability. The suspect runs, screens, etc – that if worked, we would all been happy – But, they didn't. Then everyone was mixed about starting Tyler Thigpen, Chad Henne, and finally even some for Pat White. Now, this was Hennes second season under the same system, and the only REAL argument that ever comes out is he has ONLY started a few games. We lost the final three games, the last one to the Steelers being somewhat "suspect".
So here we are in the 2010 season, 3'rd of the "New Regime"
We had what we had wanted all of the 2009 season, The Beast, a true number-one, The Alpha Receiver. Our duo of pro-bowl caliber running backs, returning to full form and healthy. The addition of a true play making line-backer, Karlos Dansby. The Big-Armed Chad Henne to lead us. There have been mixed emotions all season. Can he win the big game? Has he fixed his touch passes? Has he stopped locking onto receivers? Can he be evasive and have pocket awareness? Every week he has shown some improvement in each area. Every week, people want him pulled, he throws critical picks, and the main argument to keep him starting is – He has only started so many games! Give him some time, do not throw the player "under the bus" – Well, I ask you, he has been in this SAME SYSTEM FOR THREE (3) YEARS NOW! We all support our Dolphins, we all want to win. Everyone knows he is not Dan Marino, and there will NEVER be another Marino! How many starting QB's get a full 3 seasons in the same system and do not produce, and get to remain the starter? So, we fire Dan Henning (guessing here) and then what will the excuse for Henne be? "He only has 4 years in the league, but only started "insert games here"? Most fans believed in John Beck to an extent. Bring on all of the stats, all of the hate for me because I am not impressed with our QB, Do not reply – Do what makes you feel better, because that is what I am doing! I am not dumb, I know much has to do with Dan Henning and his "Leather Heads" play-calling mentality, but how much will you own up to and place on Chad Henne? I have stated since the off-season, "I will eat, all of the crow that Henne can throw at me!", So far? Not enough for to even match the "balls in the dirt" that he bounces to our players, nor the important interceptions in games. I blame Special Teams as much as the next fan for the NE game, no-one seems to bring up the two costly picks before the ST implosion in that game. Let's hear the hate, question me, I will answer.
And Finally - What do I want the Dolphins to do? Well, for starters whatever our coaches feel is best for our team, and like Al Davis has always said – "Just Win Baby!" If Henne is our best chance to win, then so be it. When it changes over into the off-season and everyone picks someone new - and crowns them our savior, maybe we should stop crowing anyone until they earn it!

Sex in the bedroom is a sure pleaser, but sometimes it's more exciting to enjoy a little fun elsewhere. Some have no qualms about having sex while visiting a friend or in the house they grew up in, while others look forward to sex when on vacation with their honey. Some have experimented with sex outdoors or sex on their lunch breaks, or even in the airplane bathroom! And, there's sex in the comfort of your own shower. While it may not be the easiest or most practical way to get it on, all that lathering each other up with loofah puffs and passion fruit body wash can lead to some pretty amusing times. What do you think? Where do you stand when it comes to getting hot and heavy in the shower?

It's hard to do the do in a shower b/c of the room that you have but once you've did enough playing it's time to get serious! This is where the bed or what ever you prefer comes in!! If you haven't had the chance to experience this fun adventure then by all means take it from me......... GET THINGS POPING!

Love it! It requires a bit of maneuvering but it's great! Even making out in the shower is so much better... probably because it's literally hot and steamy in there! The bf and I definitely took advantage of the extra large shower at the beach house we stayed at this weekend... ;)
