The social cognitive capacities of dogs, including their communication skills and use of visual attention cues, have recently been investigated in numerous experimental studies. This paper reports on research of domestic dog behavior in a natural setting, which shows sensitivity to the visual attention of their partners when engaged in dyadic rough-and-tumble play. The sequential behaviors and head-direction of both dogs were noted throughout the bouts. The behaviors were differentially used according to the partner's posture. Play signals were sent nearly exclusively to forward-facing conspecifics; attention-getting behaviors were used most often when a playmate was facing away, and before signaling an interest to play. In addition, the mode of attention-getter matched the degree of inattentiveness of the playmate: stronger attention-getters were used when a playmate was looking away or distracted, less forceful ones when the partner was facing forward or laterally. In other words, these dogs showed attention to, and acted to manipulate, a feature of other dogs that mediates their ability to respond: which feature in human interaction is called "attention".

Travel Better.
Jinya Ryokan
2-8-24 Tsurumaki-kita, Hadano-shi, Kanagawa, Japan
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The first reason to consider Jinya Ryokan might be convenience — it's an hour by train from Shinjuku Station, which means Tokyo residents can swap city for country in no time at all. Foreign visitors might find it even easier — there's a regular shuttle straight to Jinya from Narita. But the appeal of its location is much more than simply a matter of travel time.
Tsurumaki Onsen, in Kanagawa, is the very picture of the archetypal Japanese country resort, and it's no coincidence that the celebrated animator Hayao Miyazaki spent time at Jinya Ryokan during his childhood — anyone who's seen films like Spirited Away will recognize a certain almost supernatural aspect to the beauty of Jinya's setting.
And then of course there's the ryokan itself. A selection of totally traditional tatami-style rooms is complemented by a handful of hybrid Japanese/Western rooms, and if you're in the market for a slightly more indulgent ryokan experience there's Matsukaze, a freestanding residence with its own outdoor cypress tub.
The hot springs's waters are, naturally, are open to all, and the Tsurumaki spring is noted for its particularly high calcium content — and the spring water is also purportedly key to the flavors of the ryokan's locally sourced cooking.
How to get there:
Jinya Ryokan is approximately one hour by train from Tokyo (Shinjuku). Take the Odakyu line to Tsurumaki Onsen station. Jinya Ryokan is five minutes walking from the station.

In a second study, Dr. Olutoyin Olutoye, of Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, found that obese children require smaller doses of the anesthetic propofol than their slimmer peers.
According to Olutoye, doctors have known that obese adults need less propofol than normal weight adults, but whether that applied to obese children was unclear. Since propofol can cause low blood pressure and reduced breathing, it's important not to administer too much, the researchers noted in a news release from the American Society of Anesthesiologists.
The study included 40 obese and 40 normal weight children. The investigators measured each child's response 20 seconds after getting propofol. The normal weight kids needed 50 to 60 percent more of the anesthetic than the obese children.
In obese children, 75 percent of excess body weight is fat tissue, which can alter the distribution of propofol in the body, the researchers explained.
Additional studies involving children are needed to determine how obesity affects other anesthetic medications, Olutoye said.
"These studies confirm the general impression that anesthesiologists already have about obese children," said Dr. Mark Singleton, chair of the American Society of Anesthesiologists' committee on pediatric anesthesia, who was not involved with the study.
The message from the asthma and obesity study is, "Kids with asthma and obesity are at double jeopardy," Singleton said.
However, he pointed out that the anesthesia-dose research only involved the drug propofol, which is injected, and would not apply to other drugs. Most children's anesthesia is induced by inhalation, Singleton noted.
Doctors should obtain children's height and weight to see if they fall within the obese range, Nafiu added. A body mass index (BMI) in the 95th percentile or above is considered obese.
Parents of obese and/or asthmatic children should expect numerous questi

This was a nice experience as it was a little rural and very quiet. Then we drove across the island to Taormino which is the exact opposite in that it is a town for tourists! A small ...
Sicilia Stole My Heart <3
This weekend adventure was a ceaseless adventure. It started off with an overnight train experience, and let me tell you it was an experience! I think it's the smallest bed I've slept in for a night, but I made it through! We arrived in Catania, a city in Sicily, the following morning. As we were getting on the bus that would transfer us to our hotel, we all saw the true colors of one another with minimal sleep, cramped conditions, and gross bathrooms! We started off ...
Sicilia Day 3

Members of the Florida Institute of government worked with the University Area Community Development Corporation to wrap and deliver presents for deserving families of the community during its annual toy drive.
An improving state economy shows Floridians are less stressed over job security and the threat of home foreclosure, two onerous pressure points on consumers in recent years, says the latest installment of the Sunshine State survey released Tuesday.
Focusing on economic matters, the survey found that the No. 1 concern, job loss and unemployment, was almost halved between 2012 and 2014. That indicates Florida's economy is recovering from the recession and average people are feeling more confident in the job market. Read more >>
SARASOTA COUNTY, Fla. -- For the 23rd year in a row, a survey of Sarasota County residents is showing what many like and don't like locally. For years, the biggest issues have been jobs and the economy. This year though, it's concern about growth and development.
In June and July, the Florida Institute of Government interviewed 800 Sarasota County residents about the place they live and their local government. Read more >>
Sarasota County posted its report card online last week, and it shows that government officials have a lot to be proud of, and some areas that need work.
The grades came in the form of the results of the "2014 Sarasota County Citizen Opinion Survey," itself an example of good government. It's the county's 23rd annual survey of residents, and the overall positive results this time suggest that the county has responded to previous concerns.
Any such survey is only a snapshot of public opinion at a given point in time. Yet the county's survey is thorough and professionally conducted by the University of South Florida's Florida Institute of Government, under the direction of noted USF political scientist Dr. Susan A. MacManus. Read more >>
A new Sunshine State Survey from the University of South Florida indicates that Floridians see political difference as the biggest divide between people, but don't view divides of gender, age, religion, and citizenship as significant.
This indicates that while becoming more partisan in politics, Floridians are also becoming more tolerant of other differences, according to Susan MacManus of USF, who spoke on a conference call Thursday about the survey findings. Read more >>
VENICE—Results of a citizens survey released Tuesday showed that a majority of those polled found the quality of life in Sarasota County to be either "good" or "excellent."
While the survey, which was conducted by the Florida Institute of Government at the University of South Florida in Tampa, suggests that the number of people who think quality of life is excellent has decreased and the number of those who think it is good has increased, overall the county received favorable marks.
VENICE—In a sign of an improving economy, an annual survey of Sarasota County residents showed their top concerns have shifted from jobs and the economy to development, population growth and traffic.
Over the past three years, the number of people citing concerns about growth and development has spiked to 21 percent from 3 percent. This is the county's top issue, surveyed residents said, and the number of people citing it as a concern has reached nearly the same level as during the real estate boom. Read more >>

The Giant Halloween Caramel Apple
1 Recommendation
NYCTrendSpotter's recommendation
This is a great Halloween treat! Surprise your favorite apple aficionado with a caramel apple whose impressive size conveys the extent of your good wishes. Each confection begins with a magnificent Washington Fuji apple, a varietal prized for its juicy crispness and sweet, slightly spicy flavor. Candymakers double-dip the apple in handmade caramel that's been simmered in copper kettles to rich, buttery creaminess. The apple is blanketed with a thick layer of premium dark chocolate, coated with roasted California almonds and finished with a drizzle of dark and orange-tinted white chocolate.

On July 23, 2013, the US District Court for the District of Columbia found "no problems with the SEC's rulemaking" by its adoption of the Conflict Minerals Rule pursuant to Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank"). In granting summary judgment to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and upholding the Conflict Minerals Rules, the Court concluded that the Plaintiffs' (the National Association of Manufacturers, the Chamber of Commerce and Business Roundtable) "claims lack merit."
In rendering its opinion, the Court disagreed with the Plaintiffs' argument that the 'conflict minerals' disclosure scheme and Section 1502 of Dodd-Frank compels speech in violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution. The Court also disagreed with the Plaintiffs' other arguments in concluding that the Commission did not ignore its statutory obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act") in approving the Conflict Minerals Rule, nor was its rulemaking arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedures Act.

Projects to be taken up only if adequate security is ensured: Ministry
Rs.7,000-crore programme drawn up
Plan to construct 5,565 km of roads
NEW DELHI: The Centre appears to be sceptical about construction of roads in the country's naxalite belt, virtually leaving the entire responsibility to the States.
Even though an ambitious Rs.7,000-crore programme has been drawn up for implementation in the 33 naxalite violence-affected districts in eight States to initiate development activities in these areas, the Union Road Transport and Highways Ministry has made it clear that these projects would be taken up only if adequate security is ensured to facilitate construction activity.
Well aware of the damage suffered by construction companies and agencies engaged in these areas, the Ministry has sought to absolve itself of the responsibility of executing the proposed projects and maintained that the work would be taken up only if the respective States and Central agencies provide adequate security arrangements.
The Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has, as a matter of fact, adopted the same defensive methodology as adopted by the Indian Railways of not running passenger and freight trains through the naxalite-affected regions on days when the underground outfits enforce a bandh.
The Ministry proposes to construct 5,565 km of roads comprising 1,202 km of national highways and 4,383 km of State highways in Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and Uttar Pradesh at an estimated cost of Rs.7,000 crore over the next three years. As against the allocation of Rs.500 crore during the current financial year, the department has approved 22 proposals for constructing 462 km of road costing Rs.444.48 crore in Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. The Ministry is processing 25 other proposals for construction of 938 km at a cost of Rs.1180.83 crore.

If the figures, which are doing rounds on internet, are to be believed, Billa 2 has collected more than Rs 5 crore in Malaysia. The movie was released in 20 screens and it collected record-breaking Rs 61.20 lakhs in the opening weekend. Whereas, Vijay starrer Nanban had raked in Rs 4.83 crore at the Malaysian Box Office and had collected Rs 60 crore plus in the first weekend.
Dhanush's 3 is in third position by collecting Rs 2.58 crore. Meanwhile, Billa 2, which also features Parvathy Omanakuttan and Bruna Abdullah in the leads, has made Rs 92.37 lakhs in the UK Box Office and it has earned Rs 73.13 lakhs in the US Box Office. However, the business in Tamil Nadu is not up to the mark.

To be honest, I was afraid Jennifer Griffin might be headed for a terrible crash.
You remember Jen, the remarkable woman I wrote about last year.
What she thought was just a stomach bug was the start of a toxic infection ravaging her body. In a matter of days, she was in multi-organ failure and on the brink of death.
Jen was virtually unconscious for two months. And when she finally rallied, she discovered her hands and lower legs were gone.
Tissue damage had forced their amputation.
Where anyone else might have reacted with anger and depression, Jen has been nothing but upbeat and grateful.
Jen, 36, told me last year that she lived with a sense of excitement and expectancy that good was going to come from her ordeal. "I honestly feel there's a reason for it," she said.
As much as I admired her courage, part of me feared that Jen might be in a kind of euphoric denial - an evasion that would end in devastation.
Well, here it is more than a year later, and I'm so happy to report that Jen remains happy and optimistic. And yes, grounded, too.
"It's not that I'm living in this unrealistic thing to get me out of feeling the emotions of it," she said. "I do feel it. I do get realistic about it."
But down moments are fleeting, she said. Life is too precious to mope.
And she hasn't just waited and wished for something good to come out of her experience. She has been hard at work to produce it.
Jen returned to her job as a paralegal. But that sense of "something more" kept nagging at her. So Jen left that job in March to establish the PLAY Foundation.
That's "Positive Living for Active Youth." It's a program to fund sports training for children who have had an amputation or were born without a limb.
The board is in place. "She's amazing - her strength and her attitude," said board member Walt Coughlin.
He got to know Jen through her husband, Nick, who was a golf pro at Bent Tree Country Club when Jen fell ill.
"So many in her position would sit back and have a pity party, but not her," Coughlin said.
The fundraising has gone well and continues. A ladies tennis tournament is set for Tuesday in Mansfield. (Call 817-473-1311 by Friday to register.) A Girls' Night Out is June 23 at White House/Black Market.
And now Jen is ready to open the doors for business. She wants to get the word out to kids ages 5 to 18 in Texas and Oklahoma. Whatever sport they want to tackle, if money is an obstacle, PLAY is ready to help.
Jen believes that being physically active played a huge role in her positive outlook. She thinks it will do the same for kids, whether they're taking swimming lessons, going horseback riding or attending a soccer clinic.
"It's so good for their self-esteem to see all that they can do," Jen said.
Speaking of exercise, Jen is training for a 5K run. Her prosthetic legs will only allow her to do it in a fast walk. But she's looking ahead to getting blade-style running legs.
She and Nick moved into a new home in northwest Dallas since we last visited. It's bright and cheery and, best of all for Jen, has no stairs.
And there's a new addition to the family - Sky, a chocolate Lab service dog. He is Jen's constant companion and has the most soulful eyes.
As a retriever, Sky is good at picking up things Jen can't.
One more bit of news. Jen is working on a book about all she has learned from her experiences.
Here's my news. I'm not worrying about Jennifer Griffin any more.

Skilled players now have the ability to face a defender and use highly-responsive lateral dribbling to skip past him.Freedom in Physical Play - Wider dribble touches and new collision sharing creates a varied, less predictable, and extended fight for possession between the dribbler and a defender.Player Urgency - UrgencyImproved urgency AI logic, with over 50 new movement cycles, delivers more responsive positioning so your players stay focused on the ball and move at a speed appropriate to the action.Improved Trapping Intelligence - Players now have a better awareness of where the most natural trapping position is so they can get the ball on the ground and under control easier and earlier.Advanced Positioning - Defenders multi-task and play more intelligently by covering dangerous spaces left by out-of-position teammates. In attack, players analyze space more effectively, curve their runs to stay onside, create passing lanes and vary attacking options.Varied Defending Options - Slide Tackle targeting has been enhanced so skilled players have more reach and avoid tackling through the dribbler. Better effort clearance logic, such as sliding to block crosses and overhead kick clearances, give defenders more tools to prevent goal-scoring opportunities.Refined Goalkeeper Intelligence - Numerous improvements mean that goalkeepers now have more urgency and better perception of where to intercept loose balls, resulting in a more responsive and powerful rushing system. New animation warping technology provides game-realistic goalkeeper positioning and momentum, resulting in more varied scoring opportunities.Manager Mode Authenticity - More than 50 major improvements were designed to create an authentic experience to mimic the real-world game.

Player development is more realistic with true-to-life growth curves.Continuous Gameplay - Maintain the atmosphere, pace, and intensity of a match with quick free kicks and referee carding.Behavioral Intelligence Improvements - Players are more intelligent with more authentic behavior. Players now avoid passes not intended for them, avoid blocking teammate shots, and throw themselves in the way of attackers shots in defense.New Practice Arena - Work on individual and team skills in a fully featured practice mode before stepping on the pitch. Select exactly how many attackers and defenders you want in play (eg 11v11, 5v5, or even 5v3), and practice in open play or from set pieces.Customizable Set Pieces - Design and record your very own free kicks and corners on the training ground for use on match day to outwit your opponent. You have complete control over your players, with the ability to assign a specific movement to every outfield player on your team one at a time, and then combine them for the perfect set piece.

Death of woman found near Laguna Madre ruled a homicide
Police seeking public's assistance
CORPUS CHRISTI - The death of a woman found near the Laguna Madre was a homicide, but police said they are giving few details in hopes of using that information when questioning witnesses or potential suspects.
The body of Julia Grace Liscano, 34, was found by a fisherman about 9:30 a.m. Saturday lying face down and nude in a grassy area near the Laguna Madre, police said.
"I can say that there was blunt force trauma to the body," said Lt. Isaac Valencia of the Corpus Christi Police Department's homicide bureau.
"That injury had to be verified by the medical examiner first before any ruling was made," he said.
Liscano's family lives in the Coastal Bend and investigators are questioning relatives and friends trying to piece together who Liscano was and associated with, Valencia said.
Her murder is the 14th criminal homicide in Corpus Christi this year.
Valencia said investigators are committed to catching Liscano's killer.
"No one deserves to die before their time," he said. "And right now there is someone out there who took her life."
Anyone with information is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at 888-8477 or Corpus Christi Police Department Homicide/Robbery Detective J.T. Smith at 361-886-2781.

46th Race Hopefuls Split Over Oil Drilling
By Joe Segura, Shore Patrol
A visit to the beach provides dazzling vistas of the Pacific – views that sometimes are interrupted by oil-drilling platforms, but with high fuel prices, there's talk on the national level about more offshore drilling.
The 46th Congressional District's Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R- Huntington Beach, supports more offshore drilling; challenger Debbie Cook, mayor of Huntington Beach, is adamantly opposed.
The congressman this week said offshore oil drilling is safer than having the oil supplies shipped in by giant tankers. There are fewer mishaps at the platforms, he added.
"I've always been a supporter of offshore drilling," Rohrabacher said.
He'd support drilling off of exclusive Palos Verdes, where pricey estates command spectacular views, but said it's not been suggested for the area. However, if it became part of the formula, he'd support it.
"It should not be pulled off," Rohrabacher added.
Cook, a staunch environmentalist, is the Democratic Party's challenger, and she contends offshore drilling will not effectively address the short-term needs for fuel.
"He doesn't understand the resources' constraints we have," the mayor said of the incumbent.
According to Cook, offshore oil supplies are small.
"It's not a solution," she said, saying that a long-term vision is needed.
There are oil platforms off the Surf City coast, and the mayor said that they blemish the beauty the ocean has to offer visitors and residents.
Platform oil drilling "disregards the investments communities have made," to enjoy nature, Cook said.
Tot Lot
The Tot Lot Committee will launch its project to overhaul the Livingston Park Tot Lot playground Saturday with a groundbreaking party.
A fundraising effort to overhaul the aging park so it can accommodate children up to age 12 is complete. Parents and businesses raised $150,000 in about eight months for the work, and the city, as promised, matched it, which funds the $300,000 project.
The groundbreaking party is set from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Livingston Drive and Park Avenue.
The lot serves children in Belmont Heights, Belmont Shore and Naples.
But the Tot Lot is small and best suited for toddlers, so as kids get older, moms and dads end up elsewhere. The new park should provide additional fun and educational opportunities for older children.
The committee worked closely with Long Beach's recreational planners and a volunteer architectural firm, Jeannette Architects of Long Beach, which designed the Spanish Colonial Revival entrance and iron fencing.
Organizers expect the playground to open in a few months. Details can be found at www.totlotcommittee.org.
TLC is still accepting donations, which should be sent to Tot Lot Committee, c/o Gazette Newspaper, 5225 E. Second St., Long Beach, CA 90803, or phone 562-433-2000, Ext. 119.
Float lottery
Want to get up in the wee hours of 2009, try to stay warm in the winter chill, spend six hours or so waving at strangers and a world- wide audience of millions of television viewers?
Huntington Beach is offering Surf City residents that opportunity – through a lottery.
The Centennial Celebration Committee will hold a drawing later this year to determine the float representatives who will ride on the Surf City's float in the Tournament of Roses Parade.
Eligible riders must be prepared to check in at the float barn in Pasadena by 5 a.m. on New Year's Day. Riders must also be able to commit to the full length of the parade, since there will be no stops or opportunities for breaks along the parade route.
To sign up for the lottery, visit the Web site www.surfcity- hb.org/

Korgoth of Barbaria
This is apparently the pilot of a cartoon that never went into episodic production. It's also ridiculously full of fantasy fanboy humor and silly, over-the-top Metalocalypse-style violence.

Kill Your Television
It seems the big, new threat is your old, heavy television. The rate of injury by falling TV sets has hit a new high: A team from the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Ohio … Continue reading

+ - Google accused of Discrimination->
Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: Googe has just been accused of Discrimination and Antisemitism. This isn't the first time either. Google has responded in the past that their anti-Semitic search results are purely the result of algorithms. This time however, it seems to be intentional, leaving no room for the "computer did it" excuses.

Bin Laden raid author identified
Fox News has identified the Navy Seal, who is the author of a book about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. Matt Bissonnette retired from the Navy last summer, according to Fox's conversation with a former U.S. and current U.S. Navy official. The book is called "No Easy Day" and is scheduled to come out on September 11th. Bissonnette wrote the book under the pseudonym Mark Owen. The book is being published by the Penguin group. He could face legal trouble if it is determined that he revealed classified information.

From the Sport (not Sports) page of the Telegraph and the BBC we find that Leeds beat league-leading Derby two to nil in football (or soccer for us colonials). Derby manager Steve McClaren was quoted by the BBC: "It's just one of them days, a bad day at the office. We were below our best and when you're not at your best, you can be beaten." However, the real news was what happened away from the pitch.
Massimo Cellino owns Leeds United. Unfortunately, he's also been found guilty of evading import taxes on a boat in Italy. The Football League ordered Mr. Cellino to resign because he was convicted of "…an offence involving a 'Dishonest Act'…." Mr. Cellino vows an appeal.
In any case, his ouster will likely be very short-term. He can resume his ownership on March 18th; at that point his conviction will be "deemed spent."

CHAT Vidya Balan on "Kahaani" after "The Dirty Picture"
These days she is Vidya Bagchi, a seven-month pregnant woman in search of her husband in Kolkata. "Kahaani" is the story of her grit and determination. As the film opens in theatres this week, actor Vidya Balan speaks about a range of topics — from cherry-picking roles to doing item numbers. Excerpts from the interview:
You have become an agent of change considering the offbeat roles you've played!
It is like a chicken and egg situation. You don't know which came first. In the last few years, female characters have been humanised. Earlier, she had to be either a devi or a fallen woman. There was nothing in between. Now, there are many stories to tell and it's refreshing that more and more directors are looking at women in a new light. I am fortunate to be working in these times when I can become a small voice of change. And it is getting accepted not just by the female audience but also by the male audience. That's why films such as Ishqiya and The Dirty Picture have done well not just at award functions but at the box office as well. But we have to be careful and not get carried away.
There is a perception that "The Dirty Picture " worked because it had a lot to engage the male gaze. Does "Kahaani " also have some special element?
Its appeal comes from its gripping plot which has been well captured in the promos. People want to know what happens to her search.
How was it to play a pregnant woman in "Kahaani"?
It was not that difficult! Help came from home as my sister has given birth to twins.
You take your character even to press conferences…
I made people stop smoking on the sets and managed to impress upon onlookers in crowded locations to give some breathing space to the pregnant woman. At press conferences, people offer me a chair. I made them believe that this Vidya is really pregnant.
Kolkata is an important character in the film.
It is good that we have begun to look within — be it stories, characters or our cities. That's why I say Hindi cinema is on a spiritual journey. Sujoy (Ghosh) has explored not only the festive side, but also the nooks and crevices of the city. We have used the guerrilla technique to film at crowded locations. And when Sujoy told me that he will play with my name, I told him I have already experienced it while shooting for Parineeta . Bengalis call me Bidya.
You are being called the new Khan on the block. Heroes might not like to be cast opposite you.
I want to remain Vidya Balan. I have set high standards for myself but that doesn't mean I will only do female-oriented films. I am not in a mood to preach. I know most stories are told through a man and woman. My next film "Ghanchakkar" is a comedy with Emraan Hashmi.
But before that you agreed to do an item song for Ferrari Ki Sawari ?
You can't call it an item song. I see it as a special opportunity to do a Lavani number. Having grown up in Maharashtra, I wanted to do it for a long time. I like the idea of a fully-clad woman dancing aggressively and sensually. Some time ago, I was to do it in a Marathi film but it didn't work out. So when Vidhu Vinod Chopra approached me, I was elated.
Have you been signed for Sudhir Mishra's Mehrunisa ?
I have heard that Sudhirji wants to cast me, but he has not approached me yet.

answered Thursday April 4 2013, 10:46 am:
You think you're pregnant but you haven't even had sex?
If you are having periods and even though they are late you can't be pregnant. Your period is the cleansing of your womb making it ready for a fertilized egg to attach and grow into a baby. Late periods means no pregnancy. At 12 years old periods are bound to be irregular.
Your body is changing, that's why your weight is changing
Do you eat a lot of junk food? Junk food is not good for you at this time as you go through puberty. Junk food fast food equals an unhealthy diet.
You can't get pregnant without having sex.
Last you are way too young to be engaging in any type of sex or sex play. You should not even be dating anyone. In all states if the boy is 4 years older than you he can be charged with rape even if you do not have sex as it is illegal to date anyone under the age of consent who is 4 or more years younger than you. When you do date you should be dating boys your own age or no more than a year older until you are at least 18 which is now the age of consent. The age of consent has been changed in most states to comply with the no child left behind law. By changing the age of consent to 18 means that you cannot drop out of high school until you are legally an adult, which is 18.
Good rule of thumb to follow: I do not have daughters though my nieces grew up without a father and I was their father figure for most of their life. I told them when they started dating to follow this rule. "If you are unwilling to bring the boy to meet me then you probably should not be dating him."
Meaning, if you are unwilling to bring the boy home to meet your parents you should not be dating him.

Two spectacular events you won't want to miss are coming to a close this Memorial Day Weekend at the Biltmore Estate: "Dressing Downton" and "Biltmore Blooms" are being celebrated at America's largest private home. Just a few miles down the road from the Mast Store in Asheville, the Biltmore House, along with its grounds and gardens throughout the Estate, provide the perfect outing for the entire family.
It's been on your mind. That question you want to ask everyone's favorite aunt. How do you get that spot out of a t-shirt? Or When you make Killed Lettuce and Onions, do you have to use bacon grease? So, go ahead, submit your question to Francine, and she'll answer it. Maybe others have been wondering the same thing.

And the wall of prohibition starts to come down! Congratulations to CO and WA!
I have been watching this very closely and couldn't be happier. Oregon would have been nice too, but whatever, its a step in the right direction. Alcohol prohibition was ended first by the states and marijuana prohibition is no different.
I've been a regular toker since I was 20, and I have been waiting for this day for the past 11 years. A big win for civil liberties :)

The FIFA Ballon d'Or annual ceremony went down this past Monday and Iker Casillas grabbing Ronaldo's butt wasn't the only thing that happened that night. Alex Morgan showed up and took the place by storm. She looked hot as hell in her white dress, and her booty was out in full force. Gotta love this chick. Check out some more pictures below of her on Monday night, and if that doesn't do it for you, even more hot pics of Morgan can be found here.

We spent one Saturday night in April 2015. Our room was the Homestead and it was great. Hot tub for 2, fireplace, little basket of chocolate chip cookies. Keurig in the room. Great view of the lake. Hosts were friendly, breakfast was very good. This is the "Only" place to stay in Turtle Lake. You will not regret it!
3.4 on April 13, 2015
We stayed one night during the week and had the whole place to ourselves. The room was beautiful and very relaxing. The grounds were also great to explore. I can only imaging how wonderful it looks in the summer and fall months. I have heard the breakfast is very good but we choose the continental breakfast basket delivered to our room. The service was very prompt but we were a bit disappointed to find only a couple muffins, bowl of fruit and juice. I suppose I should have asked. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and plan to return in the fall.

This was probably one of the best getaways I've had. Definitely coming back in the summer time to walk the trails and go to the lake. Very beautiful

After the decision to actually TAKE a weekend away without the kids, the next question was where to go. We only take word of mouth recommendations when it comes to stuff like this and we were NOT disappointed! The room was perfect, location was awesome - less than a tank of gas from home! Hosts were lovely and the food was great! I'm not a 'breakfast' person, but I ate it all! will definitely be recommending to family & friends! THANK YOU for everything!

Canyon Road Inn was more than we expected. Breakfast was awsome, room was spotless, place was easy to find yet felt like we were in middle of wood secluded from the city.

The time spent at this B&B was a luxury. The room was spacious, very comfortable, and provided numerous amenities that made the stay very nice! The scenery in the immediate vicinity was an additional plus that made the evening and morning perfect. And the breakfast...wow! I plan to schedule many more trips to Canyon Road Inn.

My wife and I had been meaning to stay at this property for some time and finally got the chance earlier this month. What a treat! Our suite was spacious with a private bath. Even in the dead of winter, the property was well maintained and scenic. If you are looking for a cozy getaway, this place is perfect.

It was our first time at a B&B. The room we had was cozy and homey, did not feel anything like a hotel! The owners were helpful and friendly. The setting, down a windy county road had a great getaway feel. We only stayed one night, but it sure would have been great to unwind some more.

As always, Patti and Turner offer a magical respite from the busyness and chaos of our daily lives. And our stay was a celebration of sorts as I had just retired from my full time job of 23 years! It was a wonderful 3 days and nights with warm and gracious hosts, fabulous and delicious breakfasts and welcoming warm cookies (and snacks), and things to do in the area and at their property. Just a terrific place to relax and let the world go by! This was our fourth time at Canyon Road Inn and will be our only place to go for a wonderful place to re-connect and reload.

Patti and Turner are excellent hosts. The meal served was the best we experienced at B & Bs this year. Accomodations were very clean and cozy. Wicker rockers were nice but I would have enjoyed a comfy loveseat in front of the fire. We will be going back to the Canyon Road Inn.

The longtime bassist has parted ways with King Diamond's band, but why is Patino gone? That depends on who you believe.
It's actually happening! Heavy metal icon King Diamond has officially announced a batch of North American tour dates for 2014.
This year's Fun Fun Fun Fest has just been announced to take place Nov.7-9 at Auditorium Shores and Butler Park, and Judas Priest have been announced as festival headliners while the almighty King Diamond will also play a rare live show.

Most metal fans are keenly aware of King Diamond. He's a scene legend. However, a famous person knows they've truly arrived when something is named after them. A street. A stadium. A rare

Lamb of God dropped the first trailer for their upcoming film "As the Palaces Burn," which is scheduled for release in 2013. The film focuses on the impact that music, especially heavy metal, has made on people around the globe in the 21st century. Filming has already taken place in far-flung loca
To say that heavy metal music possesses a flair for the dramatic would be the understatement of the century. From epic battles between God and Satan to musclebound warriors swishing swords and winning over busty babes, the imagery is often theatrical, cinematic, and over-the-top enough to draw equal amounts of ire and praise
