The biggest difference between the Expert Edit Mode and the other editing modes in Elements is that in Expert Edit Mode you get to control the corrections that you make to an image. But sometimes even when you're in Expert Edit Mode you may be in a hurry or you may be working with a snapshot that doesn't have to be just perfect, and in that case you may prefer to use some of the auto correction controls. To show you those I've made six copies of the same photo and put each copy on a separate layer here in this image. I'll start with the top layer selected, and I'm going to apply Auto Levels to this layer.
Auto Levels is a command that's located under the Enhance menu right here. I'll apply this command by clicking on it in this menu, and that's all there is to it. Now what is it that Auto Levels does? You remember from an earlier movie about Levels Adjustment layers that one of the things that a Levels Adjustment will do is adjust the contrast in an image and that's what's happened here. Auto Levels has taken the darkest pixels in the image and pushed those to black, those are probably down here, and the brightest pixels and pushed those to white, increasing the range of grays in between. And that gives the photo a little more contrast.
So if I were to turn the Auto Levels layer off to compare it to the original, there's where I started and there's where I'm now, but at the same time Auto Levels sometimes changes the color of an image a bit. If you don't like the resulting color after applying Auto Levels then you can try another Auto command Auto Contrast. That works the same way as Auto Levels except that it has a more minimal effect on color. So I'm going to turn Auto Levels off here and select the Auto Contrast layer, which is just another copy of the image that we started with.
I'll go up to the Enhance menu and down to Auto Contrast, and release my mouse. Now this time there is hardly a change to the image, there certainly is no change to color. To compare this to the original I'll turn Auto Contrast off. There is the original, there it is with Auto Contrast. So in this case Auto Contrast doesn't do much but it also doesn't add that color cast that we got with Auto Levels. I'm going to make the Auto Contrast layer invisible and select the Auto Color Correction layer, just another copy of the original, and this time I'm going to apply a third Auto command, Auto Color Correction.
I'll go to the Enhance menu and I'll choose Auto Color Correction. And you can see that the color really did change there. If I go and turn off the Auto Color Correction layer, that's where we started, and that's where we ended up. In this case Auto Color Correction made the entire image more cool, or toward the blue end of the spectrum, rather than as warm as it was to start with like this. And finally, let's see what Auto Smart Fix does. Auto Smart Fix attempts to adjust both color and lighting. I'll select my Auto Smart Fix layer, just another copy of the original now, and go up to the Enhance menu, and down to the first option there, Auto Smart Fix.
In this case that's brightened the image and changed the color a bit. So here is where the image started and here's how it looks with Auto Smart Fix. If you like Auto Smart Fix but you want more control over what it does then there's one more option for you to try and that is Adjust Smart Fix. So I'll turn that Auto Smart Fix layer off, I'll go down to my last duplicate of my original image, selecting the Adjust Smart Fix layer, and I'll go up to the Enhance menu one more time and choose Adjust Smart Fix.
I'll move that dialog out of the way, and here I can either just click Auto or I can drag the Fix Amount Slider, which applies a Smart Fix adjustment to color and lighting that lets me control how much of that adjustment I want in the image. I can turn the Preview checkbox on and off to see where I started and where I am now with this adjustment. And when I'm satisfied I'll click OK. So there are five Auto options for you to try, the next time you're in a hurry and want a quick fix for color and/or lighting in a photograph.

"A gloriously farfetched tale, but alarmingly real to anyone who knows the weird world of MFA programs. Besides which, it's a shit-load of fun." —Peter Carey, two-time winner of the Booker Prize In this brilliant mix of literary satire and crime caper, Frankie Abandonato, a small-time con man on the run, finds refuge by posing as V. S. Mohle—a famously reclusive writer—and teaching in a prestigious writing program somewhere in Texas. Streetwise and semiliterate,… (more)
The novel is breezy and diverting enough, but as satire goes, it's pretty mild-mannered.

School started, but we're keeping the summer in our hearts
FB exterior fictions
This is way too stridently stated but worth considering the whole argument:
"The novel is concave; it allows you to spy on the interior realities of fictional people. Facebook is convex; it allows you to spy on the exterior fictions of real people. The opposition, far from being complementary, implies a crisis of the human heart. A reward for looking into the depths, the novel is a catalyst for empathy. A punishment for seeing only the surface, Facebook is a catalyst for envy. ..."
Comparing Facebook to a novel seems like a kind of "missing the point" task.
And she says "punishment, reward, crisis of the heart" -- terms of religion. It's more convincing to use aesthetic terms, terms of art:
"fb, an envy and advertising machine run by a massive economic entity, is actually pretty good at helping people keep up with their friends. What the fuck is up with that? Discuss."
Something like that. Not that I think that.

India celebrates the International Children's Day of Broadcasting
by Geetanjali Master, Lalatendu Acharya, Vikas Verma and Anil Gulati
"It was a challenge", says Mihir Gajjar, a student in ninth grade. "In just eight days we had to produce our own programme. So for six hours a day we tried to learn all that we could. But even after reaching home, we would refer to our notes and practice." Meena Gokhale Pansare, the channel's producer, said it was worth the effort. Children, for one, realized the importance of serious viewing. To be able to view programmes critically is the first step in media appreciation. They have also experienced the kind of creativity, commitment and teamwork that is required in programming. According to her, while many schools do have extra-curricular activities, workshops on television arts, painting and theatre would help in a better understanding and appreciation of media.
Rahul Phonde, a student of Grade IX, said he would always remember his role as a "floor manager" for a day. "I had no idea of the effort required in getting one good shot. I would like to make films on issues like superstition and corruption. Maybe, like Saksham's, my dreams too would come true." Radio listeners in Bhopal, the capital city of the state of Madhya Pradesh, were pleasantly surprised to find children anchoring some of their favourite early morning programmes, including regional news. More than 125 students from Bhopal were involved in the ICDB media event. In the state of Andhra Pradesh, 25 school children from various schools in Hyderabad were given 15 days extensive training in film making, scripting , camera handling etc., at the end of which they made three short films on HIV- AIDS, Girl Child , and one on the lives of local cricketers.These films were shown on Hyderabad television network in a 2 hour interactive telecast where they shared their experience of the making of the films. The International Children's Day of Broadcasting was launched in 1992 to provide children an opportunity to be seen and heard on airwaves. It is now celebrated around the world on Second Sunday of December every year

WASHINGTON - While the still-fragile economy braced itself for the gradual but potentially grave impact of $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts, the president and Republicans used their weekly media messages to blame one another. President Barack Obama says "Republicans in Congress chose this outcome" but not budging on tax hikes. Washington state Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers says Republicans have "done the work and shown that these choices can be made in a responsible, thoughtful way."

This 1966 VW Type 3 Squareback is said to be rust free in excellent condition with only 88,400 miles. The car was repainted and engine rebuilt in 1992, and the seller states that everything electrical works on its original 6 volt system. The interior is also in great shape and the full-length roof rack is perfectly matched. Find it here on eBay in North Canton, Ohio.
Yeah, theres something cool about them…principally in the winter. A Kharman Ghia, however, is cool.
1. For everyone bemoaning "customized" type 3s…VWs are like legos. Someone lowered it with an adjustable beam in front? Well then raise it back up! A floorjack and literally two wrenches will do it. Car's been dropped out back? Again, a floorjack, tie down strap and iirc a 17mm socket will have your torsions reclocked to stock height.
2. If you can't synch dual carbs, well then buy a V8 :)
3. The heat really does work if the window seals are tight, which they almost never are, and you still have the vent wing windows to help pull a vacuum near the windshield so all the heat does not roast the hair off your left calf.
I had a '68 Squareback. It was painted dull green. I nick named it the 'Stuka', as it mirrored all of the performance characteristics of that redoubtable aircraft. It had the peppy acceleration of a glacier. It handled not at all. The brakes were uneven and grabby. That got me into a wreck once. The heater baked your left foot but couldn't heat the entire car on a cold winter's day. Gas milage was good, though. I hated the car.
I just sold a 1970 squareback this spring. I'm an air cooled person and I still have 2 other in the stable (a '68 Karmann Ghia and a '68 Westfalia bus). The type IIIs are fantastic riding as far as air cooled VWs go. They have torsion bars in the front suspension beam as opposed to torsion leaves as found on the type Is and type IIs. The squareback I had, while mechanically sound, needed much cosmetic attention and unfortunately it's a real scavenger hunt to try to locate good used parts and restoration parts are not nearly as plentiful as the other air cooled models. That's the only reason I sold it.
@beyfon: Make it "…less showy." Next, I guess you'll tell me not to wear my Clown Suit when I buy it!! LOL
Wow; I just looked at a nice rust-free 1969 Squareback Automatic example this past weekend with the wife, that is in the last phases of mechanical restoration! We probably will buy it and finish the cosmetics on it! The wife preferred the Squareback to the '65 Volvo Amazon that was also for sale!
@Marooned – Amazingly, converting a VW from 6 to 12 involves little more than swapping out the batteries. The 6 V electricals seem to do just fine with 12 V. So go for it!
Wow 10K for a squareback. In the 80's I was a teenager and made my money off of buying and selling these along with other VW models. The local college had a good supply of students upgrading to newer cars, and I would buy these for $300 spend a week getting them cleaned up and polished and turn them for $700. One time when I was selling a 68 Fastback that was in about this condition a guy that had a square back that he cut the roof off to make a convertible stopped buy and sold it to me for $100. He thought I was going to use it for parts. I cleaned it up lowered it and decorated it with a surfboard in the back and sold it to a surfer for $600 two days later.
Now I could see getting 10K from a rare model like a notchback but 10K for a squareback, that is a lot of money for not a lot of car.
I'm glad that it is being sold with an engine. I've lost count of how many times I've come across old VWs for sale where "the engine is not included".
I happen to live in North Canton, so if anyone needs an unqualified inspection, I am more than willing.
My favorite VW in any color, especially with the roofrack.
Also, no a/c, and we live in Houston, where the humidity is 90%, 90% of the year!!
And, not being mechanical, about the only thing that I can do to cars is to wash and clean them. This thing looks like a monster to wash, and how would you ever clean those "venetian blinds!!!!"
Man, if I just hadn't bought a car within the past month. The engines in the back, right, below the floor?? Imagine being a kid on a long trip, sleeping on top of "Mama" – purring to you, keeping you warm.
BIN price of $9700.00 – where else can you get happiness for that price!
But, wait – 6 volt, almost 50 years old, and I'm not mechanical at all. Hmmm!
Nice one and just two hours away over the the Ohio state line. My wife says that my '73 Beetle isn't allowed to have friends though.
Reminds me of the Squareback my folks had when I was small. They drove it forever and abused it mightily for over 300,000 miles.
Cause of death was tinworm, but it still ran.
Wow, with crazy low mileage for its age too. Nice example of a sweet model.

The company employs very skilled people in its design team and I have been very pleased with the understanding of our briefs, translated into powerful design suggestions.
The development team has also confirmed the quality of work and service that Liquid Bubble delivers. The round the clock availability and very fast turnarounds for bug fixes or new features roll-out have been outstanding.
Not only the look and feel of the new site has received only positive feedbacks, the site also converts much better, and the SIM request conversion rate has increased by 20% after the new UK site was rolled out.
The CMS is very well built and my team has quickly been able to master all of the functions available.
Now that our 15 multilingual international websites have been re-launched, I am looking forward to working with Liquid Bubble again for the redesign of Lycamoney and Lycatel corporate websites in the next few months."

Dumbest human on this board, and that's saying something. So unbelievably dumb, it jusy couldn't even be made up.
PS There is no word "anyways". It's "anyway".
what has Sanders shown you that he deserves a multi year contract?
Let me also ask you, did the Pats even want Sanders? If they did, why such a wishy washy offer? The moment the offer was made, most of us said Pitts will match, except you who wrongly said they have no cap space even with Colon coming off the books June 1st...back pedal away dopey.

Nice color that stays consistent but if your gonna use it everyday as your supposed to then you end up blowing through it very quickly. At $40 a bottle really isn't worth the hefty price tag. Take it from me and get a bottle of full strength instant tanning lotion, a large bottle and a bottle of your favorite body moisturizer and mix them together in the large bottle. Shake it up well and use everyday and you will have a beautiful sunless tan that lasts and it won't cost near as much. I've done this for years and it works beautifully:)

This is a great self tanning moisturizer that creates a really subtle glowy tan over time. The packaging is great, the color it gives is slow but natural looking for super pale girls like me. It dries rather slowly (30 min or so?). The one down side... IT STINKS. I'm sorry, I just can't handle it. It's bad enough that I just won't reach for it and will purchase something else.

I am fairly pale (NC15) and have very pinkish undertones. I LOVE using this year round. It gives me a nice color in the winter and enhances the small amount of tan I get in the summer. The only reason I have this product a 4 was because it takes a few minutes to dry, but nothing too ridiculous. I typically apply this with my fingers all over my body and then wash my hands, I've never had a problem with staining or anything of the sorts. I'm on my 2nd tube now and will continue to purchase this!!

Overall as a gradual self tanner it's not bad. I've done drugstore brands which work just as well. This products applies well and smell great. I usually get the "self tanner smell" with such products, but not with this gradual tanner.
Those with streak problems may need more practice with self tanner application in general. There is a learning curve. Clean dry skin that has been exfoliated well is a must.
I spray tan every 2 weeks and I apply this product every 3rd day, and keeps my tan nice and even for the 2 weeks. I'm pleased with this product except for the price.

I have this in medium/dark. This product is great to maintain a tan. After my initial tan with a proper tanner, i apply this everyday to moisturise and keep up my nc40 skin. If im going to be honest, i really just slap this on, i guess because im tan already and this stuff is very faint, it camouflages any streaks(i always look even). I would recommend this product to already tan girls wanting to maintain..to any pale girls this might turn out streaky due to the lack of colour guide.

Don't like it. Takes forever to dry and even when you're extremely careful applying it, it still streaks. Don't go by that video on their web site of the woman applying it. You need A LOT more than what she's using.
The only thing I can say in it's favor is that I didn't mind the smell like others did, and when you go to wash it off and the water hits it, your skin feels like liquid silk. Pity that feeling doesn't last beyond washing it off. There isn't much color that comes off, so that's a good thing, and it did leave a nice color for all that it was streaky.
Fake Bakes Flawless is 100 x's easier to use and dries quickly...save your money and buy a bottle of that instead.

The original St. Tropez tanning lotion is much better. This stuff is horribly sticky and transfers to your clothes and bedsheets big time. If you have the time to walk around the house and dry yourself, the color does look very nice.

This not very nice in my opinion. Cons: it's teribly sticky, which makes it difficult to apply and takes ages to dry. On me at least it still has that horrible fake tan smell, despite the claim that it doesn't. And it's expensive too. Pros: The colour on me is ok and fades nicely - this is why I didn't give it a 1 score.

Really disappointed with this gradual tanner. I adore other St Tropez products (especially the bronzing mousse), but this was a waste of money. The colour was very weak and it came out streaky on me after the first use, and I am fastidious when it come to prepping for and applying fake tan. Sadly it's going in the bin.

Nestled in the scenic shadows of the Smoky Mountains, Bent Creek Golf Course's 18-hole layout stretches across 6,182 yards of fairways that rise and fall among rolling foothills and pristine valleys. Golf legend and course designer Gary Player made deft use of a babbling mountain stream by running it through the course and seamlessly uniting two distinct nines: a front nine that sprawls across the valley floor and a back nine that roams the hilly mountainside like a forlorn sasquatch. The overall effect is a course that does justice to both the sheer scope of the rising peaks with bottom-up views and the panoramic splendor of Great Smoky Mountains National Park when seen from the cresting hilltops of the back-nine. The inventive layout is perhaps best characterized by the 11th hole, a 362-yard par 4 where a 90-degree dogleg-left plays into a green completely surrounded by the creek's rippling waters. A blend of bent and bermuda grasses grows resiliently for golfers striving to play all year-round, and fragrant wildflowers blossom at every tee to warm the hearts of world-weary nine-irons.
Bent Creek bolsters the pin-hunting prowess of its golfers with a staff of PGA-certified instructors that conducts lessons and presides over the domain of their full-service pro shop. A practice putting green helps players trim their score by reading dicey slopes, and the Creek Side Grill hosts postround revelry and community gatherings to decry the historical hardships of the mashie niblick.
Fairways and Greens Golf Center's 25-acre practice and instructional facilities help Titanium Membership holders to hone their skills with unlimited practice balls and year-round amenities available only to members. The outdoor grounds boast a bevy of arenas to work on your swing, putt, or ceremonious hole-in-one dance routine, including a practice range with three spacious bermuda-grass tees, two crenshaw bentgrass putting greens, and a covered tee area that banishes weather-spawned interferences with a shade-blocking canopy and gas heaters at each of its 18 hitting stations. The Loop course encircles a pond with three greens, each of which sports three separate tees, creating a nine-hole layout that ranges from 80 to 60 yards per hole. Meanwhile, the 10,000-square-foot indoor space provides sphere-slingers with a 1,400-square-foot True Tour putting green and individual video-swing analyses to refine your technique when chopping golf balls or betamax videocassettes. Fairways and Greens is also home to a 2,500-square-foot indoor fitness center that brims with the cardiovascular and muscle-toning equipment necessary to keep pars attainable.
Located just outside of downtown Knoxville, Williams Creek Golf Course is a par 3 championship course that sprawls across 98 acres of rippling terrain accented by creeks and ponds, challenging short game skills with holes that range from 85-245 yards. At the elevated tee box on the first hole, players have the chance to peer out at what lies ahead, from the fast-playing bent-grass greens to any wildlife wildly waving foam fingers along the edges of maincured fairways. Each hole presents a different challenge: number six, for instance, forces shots to soar over water, and number 14 boasts the longest distance at 245 yards. Players can prepare for such hurdles by taking advantage of the other on-site facilities, which include a fully stocked pro shop, a driving range, and lessons from PGA and LPGA professionals.
Staffed by experienced coaches and computers who've sworn allegiance to the three laws of golfing robotics, GolfTEC's motion sensors and high-speed cameras monitor swings and break down each individual's form on a high-definition video display to get results. Sensors chirp with approval whenever they detect the perfect stroke or an especially witty golfing joke. GolfTEC's certified personal coaches will point out flaws and strengths while providing golfers with tips on how to permanently improve their game from tee to green.
Inside Nevada Bob's, everything is dedicated to golf. For instance, one wall is lined with golf bags and another showcases rows of shimmering golf clubs from top industry brands such as Mizuno, Nike, and Callaway. Customers can roam in between this corridor of quality golf equipment to browse golf shoes, inspect the latest golf ball technology, and find the right pair of golf gloves capable of bench-pressing a golf cart. The store also features a repair facility, an indoor golf simulator, and private lessons with an accredited golf pro.
The Cork & Cleaver, the most popular restaurant in Waynesville according to TripAdvisor, serves luscious food with exceptional service. Starters on the menu include upscale favorites such as oysters rockefeller, baked with spinach and mornay asiago sauce ($8). Skim over soups and salads to land on the meaty terrain of the 20-ounce Braveheart black Angus porterhouse steak, including the tender filet and the hearty loin ($26). The Cork & Cleaver also offers natural meats, ranched sustainably and without a trace of hormones or antibiotics. All steaks are served with pillowy mounds of roasted-garlic mashed potatoes, a loaded baked potato, or the vegetable of the day.

I have a question about step 3 on the recipe "Split Pea Soup for a Winter's Day" from Burnt Offerings. It says:
"Make a Bouquet Garni using the fresh herbs and peppercorns. Tie tightly and place into pot." herbs
It's a bunch of herbs that are either tied together with string or placed in a cheese cloth and then tied up in string. It infuses the soup with flavor but then can be easily removed before serving the soup so you don't have loose sprigs floating in the soup, I would use a cheesecloth to gather the herbs and peppercorns. Wrap it into a little bundle and tie it with string. You can find cheesecloth in your supermarket in the baking section

April 6, 2005
The Scottsdale Police Department is searching for a new deputy chief.
Raymond Schultz, 44, deputy chief for personnel development and investigative services, accepted an offer last week to become the chief of the Albuquerque Police Department.
Scottsdale investigative services Cmdr. Barry Vassall will serve as acting deputy chief in the interim. April 15 will be Schultz's last day.
Schultz, who is from Detroit, will return to the agency where he started his law-enforcement career when he was 21 years old.
He originally moved to Albuquerque, N.M., to join the department because officers were being laid off in the Midwest, he said Tuesday.
Schultz will move back to a department that's in a "crisis," which includes allegations of employee theft in the evidence and property rooms, a deputy chief on administrative leave and internal investigations against members of top management, he said.
Albuquerque Police Chief Gilbert Gallegos retired early last week, and Schultz was offered the position Saturday, Schultz said.
"That's what makes it exciting," he said. "Everyone is looking forward to change. I know the organization and I can move pretty quickly."
Vassall has worked for Schultz since he arrived at the department in January 2004.
"He's had a positive impact on (Scottsdale) and we hate to see him go," Vassall said.
"I think it's his leadership style. He's well-grounded; he's not afraid to attack issues and problems," Vassall said.
When the deputy chief position will be filled or how the search will be conducted is undecided, said Scottsdale police Sgt. Mark Clark, a department spokesman.

Like other young Detroit-area professional athletes, the Detroit Pistons' top pick of the 2012 NBA Draft, Andre Drummond, has immense potential.
But the 18-yeard old former one-year UConn star faced his share of criticism prior to the draft. Critics said he lacked a motor, desire, and could be tabbed as "lazy." That sounds a bit like the Detroit Lions' young potential star, Nick Fairley, who has been described in similar fashion.
The Pistons have to take a stern approach with Drummond from the start. The Lions haven't done that — at least that's the way it's appeared — with their youngsters, namely Fairley. Drummond could fall victim to the fast lifestyle that comes with quick money and fame if he's not properly guided. Fairley sure has.
Keep in mind that, though just a few years in age apart from Fairley, Drummond is still a kid. He'll be 19 in August. He didn't spend a few years in college, where many athletes mature and learn how to handle themselves as an adult. Drummond is just over a year removed from high school, and the risk of him making poor decisions is much greater than that of a 22- or 23-year old coming out of college.
Pistons president Joe Dumars may be far advanced in terms of "raising a player" than his fellow Detroit coaches are. The Lions have obviously made mistakes, failing to effectively manage guys like Fairley, Mikel Leshoure, Aaron Berry and Johnny Culbreath — each have had marijuana- or DUI-related cases during the offseason. Some of the young 20-somethings have been in trouble more than once.
In order to make sure that the potential of the Pistons' star-center-in-the-making isn't cut short before it develops, coddling, perhaps, may be necessary to an extent. Suggesting the Pistons "baby" Drummond is illogical. He has to grow up on his own terms. However, the fact that he's still in the high school age bracket — and likely thinks more like a prep senior than a college senior — makes it all the more important for the Pistons to get it right with Drummond.
"You've got to have that child, or that person, or that player, surrounded in an environment with good people," Dumars told MLive.com's David Mayo. "Not just by one good person, because what if that person's not around that day? It should never fall on one person. So for me, it's the environment. It's the entire culture that you put the kid in, the work ethic that he sees on a daily basis, what he sees every day."
Pistons coach Lawrence Frank is also aware of the growing pains that could be ahead for Drummond.
"This is going to be a big adjustment for Andre, in all aspects – physically, emotionally, mentally," Frank told Mayo. "It is for everyone but especially an 18-year-old."
One aspect that will be important for Drummond's boom-or-bust potential is this: He has to have reliable support from his franchise. Words to the media only go so far. Dumars and Co. have to be committed to Drummond's development. He's a first-round pick that has the chance to really add strength and stability to Detroit's frontcourt and complement Greg Monroe.
There is little room for error with Drummond.
Early miscues would probably torch any chance of him becoming the player he's capable of being. Dumars and the Pistons should look toward the Lions and analyze the way they've handled young players — and do the opposite.

Banks had unethical conduct in the years before the crisis, according to Martin Wheatley, head of financial conduct at the Financial Services Authority, the Sunday Telegraph reported.
The banks "suspended normal ethical standards and were sellling products that were profitable for the investment banks," Wheatley told the U.K. newspaper. The products were "not well understood by the banking staff that were introducing them, and not at all understood by customers who were buying them."
Wheatley will be in charge of one of the FSA's two successor organizations next year, the newspaper said.

Considering A Threesome? Read This First!
If you're considering a threesome for the first time, be sure to weigh all your options.
How To Have A Successful Threesome:
Bad experiences in threesomes can cause oceans of resent and regret. Great threesomes can be absolutely amazing. Here's how to have a successful threesome and avoid any hurt feelings.
- Triangulate Your Erotic Energy: A great threesome is something so much more than typical sex with two people; it creates a triangle formation of erotic energy, amplifying every part of the experience. A good threesome is not "first you, then the other;" it is all three people engaging together, pooling their three sources of erotic energy into a common experience. When this works, it can be incredibly powerful, and an experience that you can not reach any other way. The caveat: when the energy isn't flowing between all three people, the connection between any two is compromised. If two people on the bed consumed with one another and the third is sitting there, feeling left out, the net experience will be less than the two people could create alone. As a general guideline: if you are going to have a threesome, make sure to include the participation of all three people. Go to great lengths to make sure no one feels "left out." Get more advice on how to triangulate your erotic energy in the book How To Have a Threesome!
- Choose Your Partners Wisely: Many people wonder if they should have a threesome with a friend or a stranger. There are benefits and risks to both. Strangers provide less risk for longterm emotional fallout, but higher risk for personal safety. Inviting a friend into a threesome is more emotionally charged, but can feel safer. Plus, if it is successful, you may be able to repeat the fun over the years! Don't have a threesome with an ex-lover or your best friend; the emotional risks are far too great. For most people, the best choice is someone you know and trust but who doesn't play a pivotal role in your life.
- Be Excited About Everyone Involved: Make sure everyone involved is erotically excited by everyone else in the threesome. This is especially important if sexual orientation is an issue. The same-sex contact in any given threesome can range from very little physical contact to full lovemaking and penetration. But the "no-touch between us guys; we are just here for the woman" threesomes tend to fail miserably — if you are so invested in not touching someone, you probably shouldn't do a threesome together. The success of your threesome depends on your attitudes, so make sure everyone has an open mind and open heart. Discuss all of this ahead of time so expectations are clear and boundaries are firmly established before you dive in.
- Expand Your Definition of Sex: It can be incredibly thrilling to have a threesome that doesn't include intercourse. You don't need to go "all the way" to enjoy all of the benefits of a threesome. Consider starting your threesome explorations with agreeing to stick to non-penetrative sex. Using your hands to give one another pleasure is both super hot and safe. You can still explore the intense sensations and erotic potential of three naked bodies in bed together, but without all the emotional and physical risk of intercourse. This "starter" threesome can be a good way to explore at first, and if it works for you emotionally and physically, you can always go further next time.
- Keep It Safe: Safe sex is always essential, but if you are bringing a new partner into an established relationship, you'll want to refresh your commitment to safe sex practices. You won't be able to relax and enjoy yourself if you are worried about contracting a disease or an unwanted pregnancy. Make sure all three of you are on the same page about safe sex, and buy extra condoms, dams and gloves: you may go through a lot during a successful threesome! Keep reading...

UPDATED: Thursday, November 18, 2010 - 6:41pm
He's back from the hospital
HOUSTON (AP) - Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub is back
with his team after he was hospitalized with an injury to the bursa
sac in his right knee.
Schaub practiced on Thursday, and coach Gary Kubiak expects his
No. 1 quarterback to start when the Texans (4-5) visit the New York
Jets (7-2) on Sunday.
Schaub went to the hospital on Tuesday and stayed overnight. He
ranks fifth in the AFC in completion percentage (64.2) and yards
passing (2,320). Dan Orlovsky is Schaub's backup, and Matt Leinart
is next on the depth chart.
Kubiak says Schaub took about half the first-team snaps on
Thursday. The only way Schaub will not start is if he has a setback
before the game.

Sensitivity is a very common problem and often prevents women from sticking to a healthy skin care regimen since there is a constant fear of experiencing a reaction.

Jurlique Herbal Recovery Gel is an exceptional product that instantly soothes and calms reactive skin. The super light formula absorbs instantly so as not to leave any kind of residue on the skin. Jurlique Herbal Recovery Gel contains natural extracts from botanicals like groomwell, rosehip and sichuan peppercorn to instantly calm and hydrate the skin.
All skin types can benefit from Jurlique Herbal Recovery Gel. The formula is light enough for the oiliest skin and hydrating enough to benefit the driest of complexions.. The light, calming gel can be applied regularly to prevent irritation or after irritation has already occurred to help calm the inflammation and speed recovery. Even skin types that are ordinarily tolerant can benefit from the calming formula after experiencing an unusual sensitivity reaction. It won't interfere with other skin care products and can be used as often as needed.
Jurlique Herbal Recovery Gel works well with other Jurlique products to help achieve and maintain a calm and balanced complexion. When used every day, Jurlique skin care can help prevent reactions and keep the skin soothed and comfortable.
