The handsome young man on the cover of this month's issue is rancher-in-training Grady Weathers, great-nephew of TSCRA Director Herff Cornelius. Grady's mother is Michelle Weathers, a professional photographer in the Coastal Bend area of Texas, whose work appears in this magazine from time to time.
Over the last year we've been selecting a cover from a past issue of The Cattleman to run in the back of the magazine. This month's cover rerun comes from March 1947, and in that issue the editor encouraged readers to attend the annual convention.
I'd like to do the same.
Since before 1947 and until today — and surely in the decades to come — there has been and continues to be a need for cattle raisers to meet, to do important work on behalf of ranchers and to enjoy the fellowship of people of the land.
We will be doing all these things, and more, at the 2015 event.
Many of the articles in this year's issues of The Cattleman stem from topics being discussed at the annual convention. Spreading the articles over the year allows us to go a little deeper in to the topic and will perhaps pique your interest in coming to association meetings to hear presentations in person. Reading is good, but I find the most interesting parts of a talk will often come during the question-and-answer sessions.
Speaking of question-and-answer, cattle raisers will have the unique opportunity to interact with Vicente Fox, president of Mexico from 2000 to 2006.
Fox is the keynote speaker at the 2015 Cattle Raisers Convention opening general session on Saturday, March 28. He has indicated that he enjoys audience interaction and looks forward to receiving questions after his talk.
We are delighted that Mr. and Mrs. Fox will be a part of the 2015 meeting.
The money-saving convention pre-registration period is open through March 13. Come for a day or come for the entire weekend — any time you can spend at the Cattle Raisers Convention is a solid investment in your ranch business.
On a personal note, having attended meetings of all types in and out of agriculture, our meals and reception fare are exceptional. We don't serve mystery meat and no dry, white-meat anything is allowed. Readers, beef will be on your convention lunch and dinner plates.
It is a great honor to join the past editors of The Cattleman and invite you to the annual Cattle Raisers Convention, March 27 to 29, Fort Worth Convention Center.

In 1948, at age 17, he joined the Navy at a time when military desegregation was still underway. Like many African American sailors of that era, he wound up with galley duty.He dreamed of becoming a deep-sea diver, but his first request to enter the Navy Dive School was denied. He second request was granted but he flunked his first test. Brashear didn't give up, and from 1961 to 1963 he studied to return to the diving program. After finally completing the 26-week course, he graduated third in his class of 17.In 1966, while serving on the USS Hoist, he was on a mission to recover a nuclear weapon in Spanish waters. During the mission his left leg was injured in an accident and was amputated below the knee. Although it was expected he would retire, Brashear was determined to continue his Naval diving career and in 1970, after training with the Experimental Diving Unit, became the first African American master diver in Navy history.Brashear retired in 1979 with the rank of master chief boatswain's mate, and is one of only seven enlisted men whose histories are enshrined in the U.S. Naval Institute archives.

Aegina (Αίγινα, also spelled Aigina or Egina, pronounced e-yee-na) is one of the nearest islands to Athens, the capital and largest city of Greece.
This page refers to the island of Aegina. For the main town with the same name, see Aegina Town.
Other destinations[edit]
Aegina can be reached by boat from Athens / Pireaus within 40-60 minutes. As a result, Aegina can be an ideal destination for a single-day round-trip travel from Athens. Nevertheless, Aegina is worth at least a day of your itinerary, and you may find yourself staying overnight. It is a wonderful island for swimming, eating, shopping, and clubbing. The Huffington Post named Aegina as "the most beautiful Greek island that you haven't heard of".
The best time of the year to visit Aegina (and every other Greek island) is during the summer months (June - August) when the water temperatures allow swimming in the exceptionally beautiful blue Greek sea. Thus, summer is the most touristic season (especially early-to-mid August), and most restaurants and hotels are open during this time. The locals are extremely friendly and helpful, and almost every merchant speaks excellent English.
In addition to the beach-type attractions, Aegina also has a rich history. You can find multiple ancient Greek archaeological sites, such as the Temple of Afaia and the Kolona archaeological site and museum. Moreover, Aegina was the first capital of modern Greece (1826-1827), and you can find historic buildings reflecting this period as well.
Aegina Town is the main point of entrance (by boat) where most hotels, restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops are located. Aegina town is located in the northwestern part of the island. There also exist other smaller towns around the island, such as Perdika (southwest), Souvala (northeast) and Agia Marina (east). Many beaches worth visiting are scattered along the routes from Aegina to Perdika and from Aegina to Souvala.
Aegina is also a destination for upper-middle-class Athenians longing to get out of the urban hustle of the city; they visit the island during weekends throughout the entire year or during the christmas and easter breaks. During the touristic off-season (i.e., October - April, especially weekdays), the population of the island significantly decreases, and Aegina better fits travelers that seek a quiet destination.
In Aegina (and in most of Greece), Greek is the primarily spoken language. Nevertheless, almost all locals are at least conversational in English, especially those working in the tourism industry (i.e., hotels, restaurants, souvenir shops). Thus, communicating in English should never be a problem. Other languages are not as prevalent.
Get in[edit]
By boat[edit]
Overall, boat is the only means of transportation that can get you into the island. Boats connect Athens/Pireaus and Aegina Town.
Some more infrequent routes connect Pireaus with Souvala.
Get around[edit]
Car rental costs about 20-30 Euros/day. Car and motorbike rentals are located near the port of Aegina town.
See[edit][add listing]
Aegina is a triangle about 11 km on a side (83 sq km). The north and west coasts are fairly flat, well-populated, and easily accessible; the southeast is more rugged and wild, with smaller mountain and port villages.
Do[edit][add listing]
During summer, the sea is warm enough to swim. As in most of Greece, the sea and beaches in Aegina are exceptionally beautiful. You may choose a beach depending on the weather / wind at the time, as on a given day it may be wavy on one side of the island but not on another. Here are some beach recommendations:
All of the above beaches are equipped with umbrellas and plastic chaise loungers that you can rent.
Scenic routes[edit]
The routes between Aegina town and Perdika, or between Aegina Town and Souvala are very scenic. The road is right next to the sea. Some parts of these routes are elevated on a cliff. The scenery is similar to Highway 1 in California. These routes also offer nice sunset views. Follow one of these scenic drives with a car, bike or motorbike.
Waterfront cafes[edit]
Numerous cafes operate along the waterfront in Aegina town and they offer views to the sea, the harbor and to beautiful sunsets. Drinking coffee in Greece is an activity that extends well beyond picking the coffee and going away. It is very usual to order a coffee and sit at such a seaside location for an hour or two, relaxing, discussing, and reading newspapers.
Eat[edit][add listing]
The pistachios produced in Aegina are notoriously famous all over Greece.
Numerous restaurants exist in Aegina, which offer fresh seafood and other authentic Greek dishes.
Souvlaki / Pita Gyro[edit]
An essential part of the Greek cuisine is comprised by the food offered by numerous establishments offering Souvlaki and Gyro ("souvlatzidika"). These establishment typically offer food "to-go", even though many are also equipped with tables where you can sit. Try a pita with gyro and tzatziki, or a souvlaki (kalamaki), which can be eaten alone on a skewer or in a pita like gyro. Here are some suggestions for "souvlatzidika" in Aegina town:
Drink[edit][add listing]
Sleep[edit][add listing]
Numerous hotels and rooms to rent exist in Aegina town as well as the nearby towns.

While news yesterday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that unemployment remained unchanged and that 227,000 jobs were created in February shows that the Obama-induced stimulus slide in the economy has slowed, it also contains some significant bad news for the president.
As the labor participation rates edged back up, the number of people without jobs also edged up a bit too from 12.758 million to 12.806 in the last month. And while the 227,000 jobs created for January is better than less-than-200,000 jobs that we have come to expect, much of the gain is in temporary employment, signaling perhaps, at best a bottom for labor.
But what it's not signaling most certainly is a robust recovery.
As our own Mike Shedlock points out, employment in 2012 is roughly the same as it was back in 2001. In essence, Obama has compressed a lost decade into just three years. Additionally, the BLS already is making significant downward revisions to employment for new business estimates they made in the January report via the birth/death model and other seasonal adjustments , according to Shedlock.
And the hanky-pankery isn't just confined to birth/death numbers. As John Crudele of the New York Post reported early this week:

Disclosed is a battery having an anode selected from the group consisting of magnesium, zinc, and mixtures and alloys thereof, an oxygen electrode as the cathode, and means for maintaining the anode and the cathode in an electricity-generating relationship when the battery is placed in salt water. Also disclosed is a method of producing electricity by positioning the anode and cathode in a saline electrolyte whereby the reaction
M+20H- →M(OH)2 +2e-
occurs at the anode and the reaction
O2 +2H2 O+4e- →20H31
occurs at the anode, where M is magnesium, zinc, aluminum, or mixtures or alloys thereof.
1. A seawater activated battery comprising
(A) a porous casing of inert material;
(B) an oxygen electrode as a cathode fixed inside and spaced apart from said casing;
(C) an anode selected from the group consisting of magnesium, zinc, and mixtures thereof, said anode being fixed inside said oxygen electrode, spaced therefrom; and
(D) means for collecting current from said anode and said cathode.
2. A battery according to claim 1 wherein said anode is a magnesium rich alloy.
3. A battery according to claim 1 wherein said anode is zinc.
4. A battery according to claim 1 wherein said anode is a plurality of rods.
5. A battery according to claim 1 wherein said air electrode comprises a current collector imbedded in a matrix which comprises:
(1) about 30 to about 70% by weight of a porous, inert, hydrophobic plastic;
(2) about 0.2 to about 0.8 mg/cm2 of a catalyst;
(3) about 70 to about 30% carbon.
6. A battery according to claim 1 wherein said anode is aluminum.
In an alkaline battery an air electrode cathode and a metal anode, such as iron or zinc, are spaced apart in an alkaline solution. Air diffuses into the air electrode where oxygen is reduced, releasing hydroxide ions into the alkaline solution, resulting in the generation of electricity. While this type of battery is rechargeable, it can be used only in alkaline solutions. Since seawater is neutral, or nearly neutral, alkaline batteries will not function with seawater as the electrolyte.
Batteries commonly used with seawater as the electrolyte employ an anode of magnesium and a cathode of copper chloride or silver chloride. These batteries function according to the following equations:
______________________________________At the anode: Mg + 2Cl- → MgC12 + 2e-At the cathode: 2MCl + 2e- → 2M + 2Cl-Overall reaction: Mg + 2Cl- → MgCl2______________________________________
where M is copper or silver. These batteries are generally heavy and require a large amount of space. For example, an Mg/CuCl battery that can generate one watt year might be 8 to 81/2 feet long, about 9 inches in diameter, and weigh more than 100 pounds. Moreover, that battery has limited flexibility in design and is generally limited to this elongated shape.
In order to power underseas detection and monitoring devices, it is necessary to have small, light-weight batteries that will function reliably for at least one year, and that can be made in shapes compatible with the remainder of the device.
We have discovered a new power cell or battery for use in seawater. Our battery functions according to new electrochemical reactions that involve magnesium or zinc as an anode and an oxygen electrode as the cathode. The battery of this invention is a primary cell that will operate in seawater and cannot be recharged. Compared to the Mg/CuCl or Mg/AgCl seawater batteries, the battery of this invention is very light, typically weighing only about 25 pounds per watt year of electricity generated. In addition, the space occupied by a comparable battery according to this invention is much less, and the battery of this invention can be made in almost any arbitrary shape. The battery is constructed from relatively inexpensive materials, such as magnesium or zinc, and is not difficult to fabricate.
A major advantage of the battery of this invention, where zinc is used as the anode, is that no bubbles are generated by the battery and therefore it is completely silent. This is an important consideration when the battery is used to power an underwater listening device because bubbles emanating from the battery would be detected by the device as acoustic noise.
FIG. 1 is an isometric view partially in section illustrating a certain presently preferred embodiment of a seawater battery according to this invention.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged side view of a section of the cathode shown in FIG. 1.
In the FIGS. 1 and 2, seawater battery 1 consists of cylindrical porous non-conducting casing 2 having multiple internal non-conducting spacers 3. Within the casing is an oxygen electrode cathode 4 which is bolted to the casing by means of nylon bolts 5. Cathode 4 consists of a metal screen 6, which acts as a current collector, inside a porous binder 7, which contains particles 8 of carbon on which are embedded particles of catalyst 9. Mountings 10 and 11 of non-conducting material at each end of the battery 1 hold a single or multiple anode rods 12 which contain magnesium or zinc. A current collector 13 collects the current from anode rods 12, and a second current collector 14 collects the current from screen 6. A polymeric separator 15 between anode rods 12 and cathode 4 protects cathode 4 from fouling due to magnesium ions produced during battery operation.
The oxygen electrode is similar to air electrodes used in other batteries in several ways, and reference may be made to the air electrode art for assistance in constructing the oxygen electrode of this invention. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,152,489; 4,444,852; 4,448,856; and 4,341,848, herein incorporated by reference. Briefly, the oxygen electrode consists of a current collector which is embedded in a porous, catalyst-containing matrix. The current collector is a screen made of a material that is a good conductor and is non-corrodable in seawater. Preferred materials include silver and silver-plated metals such as nickel, though other conducting materials can also be used.
The matrix material, in which the current collector is embedded, typically consists of a binder, a catalyst, and carbon. Suitable binders include plastics that are stable in seawater, such as polytetrafluoroethylene, nylon, polypropylene, polyethylene, and phenolic resin. The binder is used as either a powder or, preferably, as a suspension in water. The binder particles typically have a particle size of about 1,000 to about 10,000 angstroms. Catalysts include noble metals, such as platinum, silver, and palladium, and metal macrocyclics (metal complexes or chelates). Platinum and silver are the preferred catalysts as they are very active. The carbon that is present performs the functions of supporting the catalyst in the air electrode and of conducting current from the catalyst to the current collector.
The matrix material is made by blending the binder, the catalyst, the carbon, and a pore former. The pore former performs the function of generating a gas during the preparation of the matrix material to create pores in the matrix material, permitting the electrolyte to enter the oxygen electrode. While many pore formers are known in the art, ammonium bicarbonate is preferred as it decomposes entirely into the gases carbon dioxide and ammonia, and therefore does not leave a residue and is not present in the final product.
The matrix material can be prepared using, for example, 0.2 to about 0.8 mg per cm2 of cathode surface (i.e., the projected area of the cathode) of a catalyst, about 30 to about 70% by weight (based on catalyzed carbon plus binder weight) of a binder, about 0.5 to about 15% by weight (based on catalyzed carbon plus binder plus pore former weight) of a pore former, and about 70 to about 30% by weight (based on catalyzed carbon plus binder weight) of carbon. The amount of carbon used should be approximately 100% by weight (based on catalyzed carbon plus binder weight) minus the percentage of binder. The amount of carbon is preferably about 60 percent, and the amount of binder is preferably about 40 percent. If less catalyst is used the performance of the battery will be poorer, and more catalyst is usually unnecessary. If less binder is used the matrix may fall apart and wash away, and more binder is unnecessary and may reduce battery performance. Less pore former may reduce battery performance and more may result in the erosion of the matrix material. If more carbon is used the matrix material may erode and if less carbon is used the performance of the battery may decline.
The blend of matrix materials is extruded into sheets about 5 to about 15 mils thick. A sheet is placed on each side of the current collector and is hot pressed into the current collector, fusing the binder particles, forming a solid coherent mass that is nevertheless porous. While thinner sheets can be used, they are difficult to process, and thicker sheets should be avoided as they add weight to the battery and perform no useful function. The oxygen electrode can be formed into a cylinder by spot welding the ends together. The cylinder is placed within a casing and is fastened in place. The magnesium or zinc rods are placed in the mountings at the end of a cylinder and the mountings are fastened to the casing. The battery is sprayed with a surfactant in a solution; the solvent in the solution evaporates, leaving the surfactant as a dry chemical on the battery where it remains until the battery is placed in seawater. Finally, the current collectors are attached and the battery is finished.
When placed in seawater, the following electrochemical reactions occur:
______________________________________At the anode: M + 2OH- → M (OH)2 + 2e-At the cathode: O2 + 2H2 O + 4e- → 4OH-Overall reaction: M + 1/2O2 + H2 O → M(OH)2______________________________________
where M is magnesium, zinc, or a mixture or alloy thereof. As the above equations indicate, the magnesium or zinc in the anode is gradually depleted, producing a hydroxide waste product which diffuses out of the cell. In addition, a self-discharge reaction can occur when magnesium is present in the anode:
Mg+2H2 O→Mg(OH)2 +H2 ↑
The self-discharge reaction is destructive because magnesium is consumed but electricity is not generated. Also, the bubbles of hydrogen that are formed can be detected as noise by a sensor. However, the use of magnesium-rich alloys can reduce the above reaction so that less than 10% of the magnesium is lost in self-discharge. Self-discharge and the generation of bubbles can be avoided entirely by using a zinc anode, though zinc anodes have the disadvantage of generating about 300 millivolts less potential than do magnesium anodes.
The anode material of this invention is limited to magnesium, zinc, aluminum, and mixtures and alloys thereof; magnesium, zinc, and mixtures and alloys thereof are preferred as they perform more reliably. A magnesium anode is preferably made of a magnesium-rich alloy such as "AZ-61," an alloy of magnesium containing 6% aluminum and 1% zinc, which has a low corrosion rate, or "M1C," a magnesium alloy containing 1% manganese. A zinc anode is preferably made entirely of zinc.
The batteries cannot be used in alkaline solutions, but only in solutions that are pH neutral (i.e., solutions having a pH of about 6.5 to about 7.5). While the battery will generate electricity in fresh water, its performance is better in salt water (i.e., water that has a salinity of about 2.2 to about 3.5%).
The batteries can be made in any shape including cylindrical, rectangular, square, or a shape that conforms to the particular device that the battery powers. However, a cylindrical shape, as shown in the drawing, is preferred as it presents the best trade-off of long-term performance, size, and weight.
The following is a comparison of the electrochemical reactions of the Mg/CuCl and Mg/AgCl batteries with the electrochemical reactions of the batteries of this invention in 3% NaCl using 1,300 ppm Mg at a pH of 7.
______________________________________ Theoretical Energy ΔE Equivalent DensityReaction (Volts) Wt (g) (Wh/kg)______________________________________Mg + 2CuCl → Mg+2 + 2.559 111 6812Cu + 2Cl-Mg + 2AgCl → Mg+2 + 2.652 155 4592Ag + 2Cl-Mg + 1/2O2 + H2 O → Mg + 3.216 12.2 70702 + 2OH-______________________________________
In a real device, of course, the theoretical energy density is never achieved. This is due to self-discharge, incomplete removal of products, and the need for current collectors and cell structural members. Nevertheless, the above table shows that the battery of this invention is far superior to conventional seawater batteries.
The following examples further illustrate this invention.
A seawater battery according to this invention was made using, as an anode, a magnesium cylinder 11/4 inches in diameter and 6 inches long having the composition 6% Al, 3% Zn and 91% Mg ("AZ63"). The anode contained an iron wire in its center as the current collector. This wire was connected via the current collector to a long plastic coated wire by soldering and the junction of the current collector and the conducting wire was potted with epoxy.
The oxygen cathode for the battery was made by annealing a pure silver, expanded metal screen 6.5 inches high and 21 inches long, in hydrogen at 350� C. for 3 hours, to increase its workability. Catalyst layers were prepared from a matrix of 0.5 mg/cm2 platinum catalyst, 50% polytetrafluoroethylene, 50% catalyzed carbon, and 7% ammonium bicarbonate pore former. The screen was then sandwiched between two catalyst layers and hot pressed in nitrogen at 330� C. for 1/2 hour. This resulted in a firm attachment of the polytetrafluoroethylene based catalyst layers to the screen. The flat screen was then fashioned into a cylinder and a silver strap current collector was welded to the screen the entire length of the cylinder.
The cathode cylinder was then supported using a formed cylinder of expanded plastic screen. The top and bottom frames of the battery were constructed from "Plexiglass" sheets in a cross-like fashion. The center portion of the cross was indented at top and bottom to firmly house the 11/4 inch diameter anode. A concentric separator layer of "Silverguard SG30," a polymeric film that prevents magnesium ions from going to the cathode, was placed about 3/4 inch from the anode. The cathode was about 800 cm2 in area and the battery was rated to deliver about 1.5 volts at 50 mA drain. The data obtained in air saturated seawater over a one month period is shown below:
______________________________________Day Volts Load, mA pH of Electrolyte______________________________________ l 1.46 50 6.5 3 1.47 46 6.8 5 1.46 53 7.110 1.45 51 6.715 1.47 48 6.620 1.46 47 7.025 1.45 49 6.930 1.46 48 6.8______________________________________
The above data shows that the battery has stable properties over the period tested.

I am 24. I am a virgin. I tried to have sex with my boyfriend. We didn't use condoms. He tried to put it inside of me. I was in pain. He went in a little. I was feeling uncomfortable. He was so angry. I told him, I wasn't ready. He was very angry. He told me to get over it. He is so frustrated. Is there way to get over the pain? Does lube work?
In Lebanon (or at least, in Beirut) the joke is that it is equally likely to see a woman in a mini skirt as it is to see a woman in a hijab.
In Lebanon (or at least, in Beirut), European tourists feel at ease that the Lebanese still speak a post-colonial French, and let Beirut be called the Paris of the Middle East.
In Lebanon (or at least, in Beirut), tourists and Lebanese alike flock to the beaches and the nightclubs, openly drinking alcohol, smoking hookahs, and belly dancing to both popular western and Arabic music, creating a strange moment that many see as cultural influence, and many others see as cultural infiltration.
Still—despite the post-colonial familiarity and acceptability of Lebanese culture—Lebanese women remain in many ways decorative objects, openly ignored, slighted or discriminated against in legislation. In Lebanon, a woman cannot pass on her Lebanese nationality to her children. In Lebanon, a woman is not protected from domestic abuse—because the law does not reRead more...
(This post contains candid discussion of rape and sexual violence.)
As some of you may know, I experienced two different sexual assaults when I wasn't yet in my teens within just one year of one another. The second time I was assaulted, my experience ticked all of the boxes there currently are in our culture for what is so often -- now, anyway, easily considered a "real" or "bonafide" sexual assault, or what Whoopi Goldberg, to my great disappointment, would call "rape-rape."
I was a girl, and one with body parts universally recognized as "girl parts." My attackers were guys. Even worse when it comes to the rape cliché all too often (misre)presented as universal truth, I was a white girl raped by guys of color. I did not know any of the perpetrators: they were all strangers. It was violent. It was forceful. I said no, I yelled, I tried to run, and I fought, but I lost. I was conscious until I was knocked unconscious. I hadn't been drinking or doing recreational drugs, nor had I everRead more...
This may get a bit vivid. Be warned. I have a twisted sexual history. After being molested at age 5 and again at 14 I somehow allowed myself to get taken advantage of and used in regards to sex. It took me many years to heal and much pain to get to where I am now and I can have a healthy sexual experience with my current boyfriend. I stayed at his house when he was renting a room out of a bachelors pad and I understood and accepted that Playboy magazines were on every toilet and the toilet seats were always up. One day he came to the kitchen with a boner kissing on me and whatnot, a short while after I went up to the bathroom where he had been showering and found a Playboy open. Are you kidding me? How dare he have the audacity to come to me with a boner he got from a slut in a magazine? It was talked about and made clear I am not comfortable with that whatsoever, he should be loyal to me mind body and soul, and I should be enough for him; as it is likewise.
It's been months since then. I found some porn videos on his phone yesterday and it really repulsed me. I get dressed up for him, I go down on him, I put out frequently. We do get kinky. Now the reason this video offended me so much is I do let him [ejaculate] on my [breasts]: its a thrill for him. In this porn video there's a girl who looks like me, disturbing enough as is, and shes giving a guy a blowjob till he [ejaculates] on her [breasts], then she turns to the next guy and does it again. Screen changes and she's [having intercourse] from behind and he [ejaculates] in her, then she crawls forward and starts giving another guy head as yet another comes up to [have sex with her] from behind as well. TOO FAR. It's not your basic porn scene, and it bothers me that its a twisted repulsive obscene image of something him and I share intimately. We've just moved in together and I can't imagine ever letting him see me naked again. I feel like he twisted our passionate and beautiful sex into some perverted expression of his twisted fantasies.
I'm a woman in my early twenties and identify as a feminist. Last November I was raped by someone I had previously considered to be a close friend. However, the assault itself isn't what I am writing about. I've read many of Scarleteen's wonderful articles on sexual assault and I am quite comfortable with the idea that what happened to me isn't my fault.
Shortly after the assault, I started up a relationship with a man (which includes sex). I realise that it's not ideal to start a sexual relationship soon after experiencing sexual assault. I don't regret entering into the relationship, though, as it has (overall) made me very happy and has provided me with support to deal with my assault. My partner knows about my sexual assault.
A few months into the relationship, my desire for sex (intercourse) started to drop.
I'm in an on again-off again type relationship with my "girlfriend." We get along and everything, but on some things we don't see eye to eye. We've had sex before, and that's kind of the problem. She keeps pressuring me into having sex! You don't really hear it this way with guys, but it's the truth. She knows what she wants, and she wants it now! It's not that I don't want to have sex with her, or that I don't LIKE having sex with her, but sometimes I just enjoy romance. Or just hanging out. Sex isn't everything. And another thing: she want's a baby! She's nineteen, and I'm eighteen. I've reminded her that neither of us drive or have jobs. I just graduated high school (at the time I was still IN school) but still, I can't change her mind. So I don't really know what to say. How can i get through to her that sex isn't everything, and that we're definitely not ready for a baby?
I am 17 now, and started dating this one fellow when I was fifteen. At the time he was 44. Of course, now he's 46, but that's not really the point. He's divorced and has two kids, one son 2 years younger than me, and a daughter the age of my own younger sister (12). I look after them for him sometimes. I feel like I really love him, but I don't really feel the same way about him. I think he's been seeing his ex-wife behind my back, as she is now pregnant and she's not in any other relationships, and Steve (my boyfriend) doesn't really want to talk about it, meaning he acts guilty. Our relationship has pretty much been sex, sex, sex, and me doing stuff for him from day one. I want to get out of this relationship, but I have never been able to stand up to him. I live with him, and I don't have anywhere else to go, as my parents kicked me out some time ago. I've kind of been seeing another guy, who is 19, but nothing really serious. This new guy is American, and he's making a life for himself (in a good university, etc.), so the choice is kind of obvious. But if I try to break things off with Steve, either he gets angry and hurts me (nothing too serious, just bruises) or he swears he'll spend more time with me. Which he doesn't.
Basically, I'm stuck with a man who has been my only sexual partner for two entire years, he's not the nicest bloke around, and he's nearly three times my age (older than both of my parents, too). I don't know what to do, and honestly, I'm a little scared.
On Monday, I talked about some of my own life, and the central, very personal, issue which kept me from attending one of the SlutWalks, an issue which also central to the walks themselves. On Tuesday, I brought up what appears to be a clear misrepresentation by the media, especially visually, of the walks. In both pieces, I expressed unwavering support for the walks.
While I did not agree with a good deal of it, I appreciated Rebecca Traister writing in the New York Times magazine last week.

But at a moment when questions of sex and power, blame and credibility, and gender and justice are so ubiquitous and so urgent, I have mostly felt irritation that stripping down to skivvies and calling ourselves sluts is passing for keen retort.
To object to these ugly characterizations is right and righteous. But to do so while dressed in what look like sexy stewardess Halloween costumes seems less like victory than capitulation (linguistic and sartorial)
I'm 14, and my boyfriend wants me to give him dry sex, I am very uneasy about this because I've been sexually abused before, what should I tell him?
Here in the hemisphere I live in, we're into the swing of summer. Ah, summer, my personal favorite season. I love the sun, the warmth, everything blooming, the energy, the spirit of the season. As an alternative educator all my life, though, I miss out on that thing where teachers get summers off (though I've also known few teachers in the public sector who could afford to take the summer off, anyway), and as the Executive Director and lead educator at Scarleteen, I really don't get downtime. Summer is and has always been our busiest season. Eh, so it goes.
It's also the time of year when we tend to see the most new users coming to us because they're in a crisis or a panic, or are just really, really feeling down in the dumps. I'm a lot more concerned about those of you in that space than I am about my feeling occasionally ripped off of a summer vacation. We know that the idea of summer as a happy, carefree time for all young people doesn't square with the reality that for plenty, it'Read more...

What I noticed was that the screen was not nearly as washed out as the Evo 4G. I also liked how incredibly smooth the screen transition effects were. I've always liked sense but I also like TW3 and TW4.
So the one thing that really caught me off guard was the 3D pictures and movies. I was a little shocked at how cool they looked. I totally thought it was going to look like crap and that the 3D would be a feature I would never use. WRONG! I would probably use it all the time.

Erasmo de Leon (left) was changed when his brother accidentally drank poison (1963).

Upon returning to Guatemala in 1963 to begin our second term of service, we desired to live in San Pablo, San Marcos because it was a town without an evangelical church as San Rafael had been during our first term of service. However, in San Pablo we could not find a house to rent for several months.
Then prominent lady in town, through illness and being in the capital city for treatment, heard the gospel on the radio, and accepted the Lord. When she returned to San Pablo, she rented us a one room building on her property, which had been the former Catholic School of the town. With doors closed in our faces as we had visited house-to-house, we wondered how the Lord would open that town to the gospel.
La Veta began children's classes with our 4 children, plus their neighborhood friends, but the parents were not receptive to us. We prayed, along with 2 grandmothers and a 12-year-old boy that the door would open to us for evangelism and God answered in unexpected ways.

Has a rescued animal inspired you to care more deeply about other animals?
So for the first month Karma was with us, we fed her venison. A man my father works with hunts, but his wife won't eat deer. We were able to slowly wean Karma over to regular dog food until thankfully she would eat dog food alone. [Read More]
What about you? Do you talk with your pets? Do they answer?
The story got us thinking about talking out loud to animals in your home. We do converse as if we think they understand our words. It's our understanding that animals, especially dogs, do have quite a large vocabulary of human words that they understand. [Read More]

Grout Panic)
Since our GC is not finishing our punch list, we are.
There are two spots in the house where we needed a few extra tile pieces that did not get done in the first go. We have the tile and the tiler, but we do not know the color of the grout.
I kept a file of paint colors, but I did not keep a file of grout colors. because at the time you pick them you don't think you will need to grout again, KWIM? We do not have contact info. for the sub, who is in another state and probably unpaid anyway. The GC will be no help.
HERE IS THE ONLY clue I have:
When every area was tiled (2 years ago), the tiler came to me with a little black fold up case. When the case unfolded, there were maybe 2 or 3 dozen little planks (about the size of a pencil liner) lined up in the sleeves. Each one was a grout color. He would take out a few, lay them against a tile, and we would pick one. I don't recall color names, since on that day I was choosing different grout colors for all the bathrooms, and some entry areas. BUT, does anyone recognize the brand I am talking about? Does anyone know who makes the black sleeve of samples? If I had that I could probably match.
Thanks in advance!
(Cross post to Home Decor)
They all have those sample boxes. It should be easy to figure out which one it is at a tile store. I can't remember which brand(s) were black. There seem to be only two or three go to brands that are popular around here and carried by most stores. They let you take little sticks home. So, take all of the similar colors.
Problem with the grout in my house (two different installers) is that they often use too much water so the color actually washes out. They do not match the samples at all!
It is also very hard to get another batch to mix up exactly the same even from the same bag depending on the amount of water used (who mixes it, they do not follow directions!). There are likely pigment variations with lots too.
Yes, they only have a few selections in a range as I recall. I know the type colors I was choosing were very limited. So it shouldn't be hard to spot. Excepting for if your color came out as it was supposed to or not. Then you might have to look at another brand, which I did for a closer match.

Penelope Cruz is Super Mario in Nintendo 3DS Spot (Video)
The Oscar-winning actress dons the overalls and mustache to promote the portable console's newest side-scrolling adventure.
Earlier this summer, Woody Allen got Penelope Cruz to wear a short (short) red dress to play a prostitute in To Rome With Love. Depending on whom you ask, Nintendo one-upped the director: It got her to dress as a fat, mustachioed Italian plumber.
In what has to be the ultimate fantasy sequence for male gamers, Cruz and her younger sister, fashion model Monica, lounge around and jam thumbs in the new commercial for Super Mario Brothers 2 for the Nintendo 3DS.
PHOTOS: To Rome With Love Premieres in NYC
The Oscar-winning Cruz just happens to be sprawled out on her porch couch, playing the new game, when her sister, carrying her own DS, comes by and challenges her to a winner-take-all match. The prize? Not having to don a very lifelike Mario costume and ask a vegetable vendor for some mushrooms.
This is just the latest in Nintendo's celebrity campaign; in April, Community star Joel McHale went meta when he spoofed viral videos with his own viral spot for the new system.

This honorary title is given to one woman every year who exemplifies all of the qualities of an ideal Hooters Girl, including an impeccable image, excellent hospitality skills, and great attitude and personality.
Tommy Yardy, director of operations for Hooters of America, said: "Tyler has been an amazing brand ambassador for Hooters for more than eight years. With an unsurpassed positive attitude, warmth, and Hooters charm, she shows an incredible commitment to our valued guests and ensures all who dine at Hooters have a great experience. Her inner beauty and bright personality shine through to customers, as well as her fellow employees. We're proud to have Tyler as a part of the Hooters family, and to recognize her as our Hooters Girl of the Year."
During a typical divisional training session Feb. 4 at the Hooters of Keiner Plaza in St. Louis, Suess was surprised by a visit from Hooters executives to notify her of her title and present her with the coveted Hooters Girl of the Year sash.
Over the course of her career with Hooters, Suess has been featured as a Hooters Calendar Girl twice and participates as part of the Hooters Calendar Board. She represented her home location — the Hooters of Rockford, 6904 Argus Drive — as a contestant in the Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant for several years, placing first runner up for Miss Hooters International 2012. She has already appeared as a model in a number of Hooters promotions and advertisements. She is also a respected member of the Hooters International Training Team, traveling to assist in opening 13 new Hooters locations, including the most recent grand opening of the Hooters of Osaka, Japan.
For being named Hooters Girl of the Year, Suess receives $4,000 in cash as well as a spotlight in Hooters magazine. Her duties in 2014 include upholding the highest standards of the Hooters Girl image, hospitality and positive attitude. She will serve as a Hooters Image Ambassador at image workshops throughout the country, represent Hooters at special events, and set an example of maturity and teamwork to her fellow Hooters Girls.

He wants custody of me--and I think he likes Mommy, too. Boy, it's all so confusing. Could Sullivan also be my daddy? I guess I'll find out around Christmastime, because that's when I'm due to arrive....

Now that Charlie Weis is officially out as the head coach of the Notre Dame football team, it's high time we run out the usual suspects to find Weis' replacement. While media outlets have been reporting on potential replacements for the past week or so, the reality of the situation is that nobody has any…

Tough to play a game of semantics with this one. Bob Stoops declared today that he'll be at Oklahoma next year, according to the Daily Oklahoman's David Ubben.

Rumors swirl amongst uncertainty
Nov 29, 2009, 11:00 PM EDT
As Eric Hansen reported today, the Irish returned from Stanford Sunday morning with an ESPN satellite truck waiting for them. Expect it to stay there until a new coach is introduced. As the regular season ends, we now enter something far more morbid and curious, the official death watch of the Charlie Weis era. Rumors…
Five things we learned: Notre Dame vs. Stanford
Nov 28, 2009, 11:29 PM EDT
The end is here. Even with the usual heroics from Golden Tate, Jimmy Clausen, and Michael Floyd, a punishing performance by Robert Hughes, and 448 yards of offense, the Irish lose to Stanford. Like many teams before them, the Irish failed to contain Toby Gerhart, who ran for 205 yards on 29 carries for three…

Tonight could be the last time we see Charlie Weis roam the sidelines of his alma mater's football team. If that's the case, the man deserves a very large thank you from fans and foes alike. Five years ago, Weis was the perfect man for Notre Dame. He had a Super Bowl winning pedigree. He…

The puzzle pieces are coming together
Nov 25, 2009, 11:30 AM EDT
For those of us that think the decision on Weis and his staff hasn't been made yet, yesterday wasn't a day to support that theory. Let's lay out the pieces and see if we can see if the puzzle is starting to reveal itself. 1) Weis isn't staying out west to recruit California. Last season,…

Let's just say yesterday could've been an eventful day, and from the sounds of it, the things that didn't happen became the event. Let's start with the much discussed: * Charlie Weis didn't want to talk about the future anymore and just wanted to talk about Stanford. Firstly I have a news flash. We have…
That's what he said: Charlie Weis
Nov 24, 2009, 5:43 PM EDT
Here's the video from Charlie Weis' weekly press conference. It'll be the only footage from either staff or players, as Notre Dame canceled the usual media sessions with the captains and assistant coaches.
The calm before the storm
Nov 24, 2009, 11:00 AM EDT
Last night turned quite eventful with the reporting of the Jimmy Clausen sucker punch/bar fight mess, and usually the lag between Monday morning and Tuesday press conference leaves us with not much to talk about. That certainly isn't the case this week, with speculation rampant and an entire season to look back on and dissect.…

Went to Wal Mart, one box of .380 left on the shelf, some birdshot, nothing else. For the third week in a row.
All the gun cleaning supplies you could want.
I think newbs are buying all the ammo, and not cleaning their guns.
Pepsi was on sale, but I didn't want to be gay/bi/uni/asexual, so I spent more on Vault, in cool camo cans.
Found Hershey Kisses, in camo foil wrappers. Don't like Hershey Kisses, but bought em anyway.

I'm contemplating a portrait of Putin, as I respect him more than the world's No.1 S*****ist leader.
I considered J.D.'s old avatar, as a sort of tribute, and I admire him greatly, but that borders on Pepsi drinking.
Ahnald with the 202 Flash. Epic.
Just paid the car, I now have more in my FTF account than in my checking.
Went to the range, tired, really don't wanna clean guns, but some ammo was corrosive. Damn.

Jordan picks Thompson as presenter
Michael Jordan has chosen David Thompson, another high flyer from North Carolina, to present him, while Charles Barkley and Isiah Thomas also will be presenters at the Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony.
Jordan highlights a class that includes David Robinson, John Stockton, and coaches Jerry Sloan of the Utah Jazz and C. Vivian Stringer of Rutgers. Each was asked to select a previous inductee to serve as a presenter at Friday's ceremony at Springfield, Mass.
Jordan went with a surprise by asking Thompson, the athletic swingman who led North Carolina State to the national championship in 1974 -- eight years before Jordan won one for the rival Tar Heels.
Stockton, the career leader in assists, requested Thomas, like himself one of the best point guards in NBA history. Sloan, Stockton's coach in Utah, asked Barkley to give his presenting speech.
Barkley called Sloan's invitation "one of the greatest compliments of my life."
Robinson went with Larry Brown, his first NBA coach, and fellow San Antonio Spurs Hall of Famer George Gervin.
Stringer's choice of John Chaney was perhaps the least surprising. The longtime friends were coaches of the men's and women's teams at Division II Cheyney State at the same time.

A fantastically stylish oasis just outside the busy heart of Capetown. The only thing better than the laid back, uber stylish vibe of this hotel are the staff.
All of the staff were really friendly, particularly Bernadette and Patricia who just couldn't do enough for us and were a veratible font of local knowledge when planning days out.
Food was superb and on reflection we couldnt fault this stay in any way. Highly recommended.

Dear Great Dane,
I pass your store in Prahran on the tram when I go to work. Some days I hop off the tram 5 stops early, so that i can peer through the window and admire the beautiful display of Scandinavian design in the front window. Always something to dream about.
Today however was my favorite Great Dane experience. I visited your store with my son, jack, who turns 1 tomorrow. I wanted to buy him something special for his first birthday and thought the wooden animals by Kay Bojesen would be perfect. In the store my son was mesmerized by the mobiles, but when we stood in front of the shelf of wooden animals, he smiled at the wooden bear. That was it...the perfect gift for my beautiful boy for his first birthday.
Thank you Great Dane!
Happy tenth birthday.
