Top 10: Ways To Meet Women During Xmas
Page 1 of 2As visions of sugarplums start to dance in our heads, you know that the holiday season is upon us. And with it comes a lot of family togetherness, tradition and welcome time off from work.
If you're single during holiday time, however, you may feel like you're missing out on something special. Loneliness is never enjoyable, especially with Christmas and New Year's parties penciled into your calendar. When the clock strikes midnight and Auld Lang Syne rings out, you'll be sure to have a kiss waiting if you follow one of these ten ways to get a woman during the winter season.
Number 10
Many local shopping centers enlist the work of several gift wrappers to help those who hate the tedious task of wrapping up oblong objects and lavish presents. Not only do inept late shoppers stand in line for this service, but so will you; the charming dude who makes all those beautiful wrapping babes smile and laugh. Before you know it, you'll have a couple of names, one number and a few well-wrapped gifts on your hands.
Number 9
If you do this one properly, you'll come away with more than just frozen hands and blistered feet. Arranging to be in the annual festive parade not only puts you out in the public — in full view of those in the holiday spirit — it combines a lot of hard-to-pull-off tasks. Onlookers and fellow hot elves alike will notice your giving personality, high fitness level, willingness to please, and appreciation for the holidays.
It may be hard to keep a wide smile plastered to your face throughout the whole route, but the post-parade gathering will give you ample opportunity to get your groove on. Don't discriminate: go after elves, fairies, snow-women, and marchers.
Number 8
Nothing is finer than snow bunnies warming up to a nice fire at the ski lodge. If you're lacking women during the Yuletide season, gather up some buddies and head for the hills. Any ski resort will be chock-full of potential since the time off at Christmas gives many the opportunity to hone their winter sports skills. Put a warm cup of cocoa, a nice hotel room or condo and a picturesque snowfall together, and you have the recipe for a prime time with a new honey. While sporting long johns may not be the most comfortable thing, it will be well worth it if you achieve your goal.
Number 7
Everyone knows that as the last quarter of the year rolls by and all that pent-up stress is getting ready to be released, the office party remains a place where people tend to emerge from their shell and go a little crazy. Although you may have skipped it in recent years because it seemed contrived and not really a source of fun, it may actually be a great place to get to know your fellow workers, especially the new secretary across the hall. If you're afraid of having one too many alcoholic beverages at your office party, try and get invited to a friend's. You'll be a fresh face in a room full of wild women.
Number 6
Thought that little snot-nosed bugger of a nephew would never serve a good purpose? Here's your chance to put him and his cute two-year-old mug to good use. Take a little trip down to the skating rink and teach the little tike how to skate. At the same time, the group of girlfriends having a little fun breaking in their old skates will eat up the idea of a young, single "dad" and his little boy spending quality time together. Single mothers especially will love the fact that their kids will have a play date while they can keep busy with other things...

Talentadong Pinoy heads to the Middle East
Premier talent show Talentadong Pinoy is determined to find the most gifted Filipinos all over the globe as it heads to the Middle East next month through Kapatid TV5. The program will not just hold auditions in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, as the cast and crew of Talentadong Pinoy brings the show's full production to the region. This marks another milestone in the show's already-illustrious history, which includes discovering and launching artists like Astroboy, Yoyo Tricker and Joseph the Artist.
Kapatid viewers and their families can look forward to seeing Talentadong Pinoy host Ryan Agoncillo present some of the best Filipino acts in the Middle East. Joining Ryan during the program's Middle East edition are Arnell Ignacio and Gelli de Belen, who will serve as the show's Talent Scouts.
What continues to set Talentadong Pinoy apart from other talent shows lies in the fact that it allows Filipinos from all walks of life to share their abilities with the audience—no matter how out-of-this-world these may be. The show has strong ties with the World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA), adding to its credibility as a bonafide stage for world-class talent. Since Talentadong Pinoy began airing on local television, the multi-awarded program has showcased unique Filipino acts ranging from song-and-dance numbers and magic acts to ventriloquists and pyro-performers. The program's focus on gifted Pinoys in the Middle East is expected to raise the level of competition, especially since the grand prize is a whopping USD10,000!
Talentadong Pinoy Worldwide is calling for auditions which will start this May 2013. There are two ways for interested Filipinos to participate. One option is for them to upload a two- to three-minute video of their act/talent on YouTube. They must then send the URL/link of their YouTube video to: firstname.lastname@example.com along with their full name, address and contact number. For those who would prefer to wow audiences via a live performance, Kapatid TV5 will hold on-ground auditions on May 3 (Riyadh and Doha), 10 (Jeddah and Abu Dhabi), and 17 (Dammam and Dubai). Please continue to check this site for upcoming updates.
So what are you waiting for? Get your best acts ready for Talentadong Pinoy Middle East this coming May! Stay tuned to TV5 and Kapatid TV5 to find out more how you, your loved ones and friends in the region can be a part of this unique opportunity.

When Justice Becomes Trendy
June 3, 2013
Michelle Brock is the co-founder of Hope for the Sold and the co-director of Red Light Green Light.
I recently visited a coffee shop that shall remain nameless. Let's just say it's the multinational brand that seems to occupy every street corner in North America. In recent advertising, they had touted themselves as the world's largest purchaser of fair trade coffee, so I asked the barista to point out which items on the menu were certified.
"Oh, that's a really good question," he said, and proceeded to explain that there was nothing on the menu that was "technically" certified except for a single bag of home-brew. He looked thoughtful. "People used to ask that all the time ... it was really trendy a while ago."
If our willingness to do the right thing is connected to trendiness, it isn't worth much.
Like flare jeans and UGGs.
I began to ponder the implications of our trend-obsessed culture on social justice. This interests me greatly, because my husband and I are extensively involved in the hottest social justice issue of today: sex trafficking.
Hands down, it is the trendiest cause at the moment. Celebrities are adding their voices by the boatload. Stars like Ashley Judd, Jada Pinkett Smith, Ashton Kutcher, Lindsay Lohan, Nicolas Cage, Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake and Demi Moore have all spoken out. Even Ricky Martin has an abolitionist charity.
Ironically, the issue of sex trafficking has become sexy.
There are many benefits to this. Organizations are getting much-needed funding. Victims are being rescued. Law enforcement officers are being trained. Students are having discussions. Parents are spotting warning signs in their children. The government is taking action.
But my husband, Jay, and I are preparing for the day when sex trafficking begins to drop a few spots on the trendiness chart. We're waiting for the next great cause to roll along. This will be a critical point for the abolitionist movement. We'll have to transition from the first phase—in which the topic is new and has significant shock value—to the next phase, which must involve long-term goals and sustainable practices.
Trends in themselves are not bad, but they can rob us of opportunities to build consistency in our character. When we allow ourselves to be consumed by trends, it undermines our ability to do right in the world. For example, when we line up for a new car, the latest iPhone or a pair of black yoga pants, we're left with less and less margin. Then, when a real need arises and we have the opportunity to give, we dig out a crumpled $20 bill and toss it in the basket with a guilty conscience. Moments later, someone compliments us on our outfit and we proudly proclaim that we got such a good deal on it.
When we allow ourselves to be consumed by trends, it undermines our ability to do right in the world.
In addition to stripping ourselves of margin, trend obsession makes us less likely to stand up for what is right. Last year at my day job, I was asked to do something that went against my personal convictions—to spy on competitor pricing by going to a multinational retail store I've intentionally avoided for several years due to their horrific human rights record.
Spying is common practice in many companies, but it doesn't sit right with me. If someone who followed my blog or recognized me from a justice conference came up to me while I was spying, I would be faced with two options: to lie and say I was shopping at a store I claimed to avoid or admit I was spying. After spending time in prayer, I declined the task and explained to my boss why I wouldn't do it. I wasn't very popular at the office that week.
We need to sacrifice our popularity instead of our beliefs.
If our willingness to do the right thing is connected to trendiness, it isn't worth much. In our trend-infatuated world, we must learn to do good whether it is popular or not. Whether we are joining a cause, buying clothes or making difficult decisions, we must constantly check our motives.
Ask yourself: Does this trend advance God's Kingdom or does it primarily serve my pride, my materialism or my need to impress others? Am I driven by a sincere love for others?
"Do not become weary of doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up" (Galatians 6:9). When we put these words into practice, our decisions transform from trend-driven to timeless. It becomes our way of life.

Love this article! I work in human trafficking prevention (HOPE61) & we already find it difficult to gain interest & workers. In the light of exciting stories of rescue or hardcore after-care, prevention & the multiplication of abolitionists seems boring or somehow less important.
This article is a great reminder that it's not just the trendy or "exciting" work that needs to be done to fight slavery. We need committed abolitionists who are passionate with God's own desire for justice...even when you're not living out the plot of "Taken."
Thanks for writing this, Michelle!
And as an out-loud thought...following God, such an unpredictable but incredible God, is a better adventure than I ever could have dreamed. Better than any trendy path I might have found!
Once people get bored, they'll move on to the new fad. While celebrities can raise their profile by appearing to care, they'll stick up for some aspect of social justice. When their manager tells them that it's time to move on, it's time to move on.

The Prosecution has appealed the Supreme Court challenging the eight-year sentence handed to Victoire Ingabire, the head of a yet to be registered political party, FDU-Inkingi.
The High Court in October convicted Ingabire on two counts of Genocide denial, and conspiracy and planning to cause state insecurity, and was acquitted of four other charges that included genocide ideology, promoting ethnic divisionism and supporting armed groups.
According to the spokesperson of the Public Prosecution Authority, Alain Mukurarinda, the prosecution also appealed against the 'lenient' sentence handed to Ingabire's four co- accused.
"There are some provisions of the Penal Code that we based on to file a suit against Ingabire in the first place, but the judge ruled them out, hence clearing Ingabire and the co-accused of the crime of creating an armed group, yet the co-accused have actually pleaded guilty on that particular crime," Mukuralinda said.
The Court also cleared Ingabire on charges of genocide ideology saying that all the statements Ingabire made did not indicate that she was calling for genocide.
According to Mukuralinda, the judge ignored that there would be implications for crimes Ingabire may have committed at a later stage - another reason the prosecution based on to appeal.
"The judge said three times that Ingabire's utterances were tantamount to crimes but she ignored that and said that since there was no implication then she is cleared. This is not possible. The judge had already proved that she is guilty already and abruptly cleared her," added Mukuralinda, who was also the lead prosecutor in Ingabire's case at the High Court.
The prosecution had called for a sentence of 35 years on the two charges.
"We are also appealing against this lenient sentence handed to Ingabire on the basis that she sought presidential clemency but truth be told, until the time she pulled out of the trial, she had never pleaded guilty or asked for forgiveness in whichever way," Mukuralinda explained.
"Also, assume she asked for forgiveness, how could that happen when she claims she is innocent, and why would she be asking clemency? This is another basis of our appeal - the unreasonable leniency of the sentence handed to her."
Ingabire returned to Rwanda in 2010 after living in The Netherlands for 16 years and quickly visited the Kigali Genocide Memorial, where she alleged that why Hutus killed in the violence were not recognised as the Tutsis were.
The Prosecution claimed that Ingabire's statements were not simply a free-speech issue because she could incite Rwanda "to once more explode."
Ingabire, 44, withdrew from her case in April, citing lack of an independent judiciary and was absent during the pronouncement of the ruling.
The trial began in September 2011 and wrapped up in April. Four co-defendants all pinned Ingabire on collaboration with armed groups.
Ingabire's co-accused were handed lighter sentences after they pleaded guilty of all charges and pleaded for leniency.
They include Capt. Jean Marie Vianney Karuta, who was sentenced to two years and seven months in prison, Lt. Col. Tharcisse Nditurende and Lt. Col Noel Habiyaremye, who were both imprisoned for three and half years for planning to cause state insecurity.
Maj. Vital Uwumuremyi was sentenced to three years and a half in prison and a two-year suspended sentence on charges of conspiracy and planning to cause state insecurity.
They are former officers of the so-called Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, a militia group based in DRC.
Although they pleaded guilty, prosecution says that the sentences handed to them were very lenient.

Ollie and Looie are still Mets- not sure why. I don't see Sandy bringing either of them "south" to Miami for opening day. So, why are they taking ABs and innings from guys who need the reps? Is there some hope to trade one or both, and try to salvage something in return? In any case, my vote (and I bet yours too) is to DFA both of them NOW. Perez has been awful this spring, and Looie looks old and fragile, even though he's had a few hits lately.
No Reyes extension- and I don't expect one. I think Reyes is likely gone by July 31. He's not an OBP guy, so he does not fit into Sandy's model. Tejada and Valdespin are being groomed as replacements. I'm sorry, I see Tejada, I see Reyes and Oquendo. I just don't see this kid hitting on the big-league level. I hope I'm wrong. I think letting Reyes go is a mistake.
Pitching looks good- Young, Capuano, Niese, Big Pelf, Dickey, K Rod, they all are pitching well. Let's hope March success carries over, this had been an area of concern. Also, I'm seriously rooting for Izzy to make the team.
Bay- nice to have ya back, Jason! He's hitting in the spring, and it's so nice to think that LF is all set with a competent fielder who can also rake.
Thole- looks good, both at and behind the plate. Paulino showed up yesterday. Personally, I like Dusty Ryan. I don't know why. Maybe I just like his name.
Beltran- His other knee is bothering him now, and he's shut down for a while. This may be who he is at this point in his career, folks. I like Carlos, but if we can get a mid-level prospect, I'm ready to say goodbye.
Wilpons- this whole thing about the loan, and we're left to wonder if Reyes and Beltran are traded, is it to benefit the team, or Fred's balance sheet? Ugh, must admit, as excited as I am for baseball, this takes it down a notch.

LAKE PLACID - While Lake Placid is known as The Town of Murals, the idea to create larger than life art is catching on in other parts of the county.
Tomoka Heights and the Harder Hall neighborhood are just two places where artist James Strickland created more than 20 murals.
With an airbrush and the same type paint used on cars, Strickland works directly on semi-transparent screened garage doors.
Strickland's paintings of manatees, birds, a leaping largemouth bass, mountains and sunsets (or sunsets) catch the eye of the passersby.
Strickland said that until most art patrons see his work, they are satisfied with a simple representation of a palm tree.
"Most people are afraid to ask for anything else because they've only seen palms," said the 30-year-old on Wednesday. "Everything is different. No two murals are alike."
John and Syble Zembo, of Tomoka Heights, asked during the airbrushing process to have a sunset "calmed down a bit," while Jean Morrone was pleased to have the former Lake Placid High School student recreate and enlarge a painting first made by her late husband Nick.
"I wanted something different," said Jean Morrone. "It is a remembrance. I hear nothing but compliments from neighbors."
Strickland paints on screen from ideas created in his head, though sometimes sketched on paper, but not on the painted surface.
Spray paint presents a flatter look, while the final product using conventional brushed paint has lines. Strickland's airbrushed murals were prepared with several layers with a single base color painted first.
What at first looks like a mess, is then given an airbrushed outline and highlights last, said Strickland. The process is ongoing with elements added or taken away until the final coat of paint dries.
The garage screen murals take a day to paint and Strickland charges from $75 to $150 for each work of art.
"I love the challenge and to create," said Strickland. "I love to see it when it comes together."
Strickland works for JS Arts Custom Airbrushing. He also paints autos, wall murals, homes and businesses by airbrush.
The artist repainted several of Lake Placid's distinctive trash cans for the Lake Placid Mural Society.
Mural Society members Harriet and Bob Porter helped start the Lake Placid Mural Society.
Bob Porter talked about the effect of Stickland's work on the neighborhood.
"You walk down this street and what are you going to remember?" said Bob Porter.
Harriet and Bob Porter viewed the garage door murals for the first time on Wednesday.
"You look at it every time you pass it," said Harriet Porter.

|Eurasian water-milfoil
Myriophyllum spicatum L.
USDA PLANTS Symbol: MYSP2
Synonym(s): spiked watermilfoil
Eurasian watermilfoil is a submersed aquatic plant that invades lakes, ponds, and other aquatic environments throughout the United States. The plants are rooted and the stems grow up to the water surface, usually reaching 3 to 10 ft. (0.9-3 m) in length, however they can be as much as 30 ft. (9.1 m) long. Eurasian watermilfoil forms dense mats of bright green, finely dissected, whorled leaves. The delicate leaflets give this plant a feathery appearance. Eurasian watermilfoil requires stagnant to slowly moving water and can tolerate brackish conditions. Once established the dense mats of leaves restrict light availability, leading to a decline in the diversity and abundance of native macrophytes. In addition, Eurasian watermilfoil displaces the native species of watermilfoil and reduces habitats for fish spawning and feeding. Eurasian watermilfoil is native to Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. It was accidentally introduced into the United States sometime between the late 1800s and 1940s.

New French oak, in medium and medium-plus
toast, provides a pleasant mouth feel, texture and
weight giving the right amount of influence to
envelop the wine in a fitting tannic structure
while preserving the integrity and brightness of
the Alexander Valley fruit.
Located in Malpica de Tajo, 50 kilometers from Toledo, the vineyards cover a surface area of 50 hectares in the historic Dominio of Valdepusa (family owned since 1292). Currently, 42 of these hectares are used to grow Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Petit Verdot and Syrah varieties using a mixed system that allows for the use of the most advanced technology, canopy management. This was the first vineyard in Spain where the technique was implemented.
Rob and fellow winemaker, Tony Coltrin, select Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc grapes from some of Napa Valley's finest vineyards in Oakville, Rutherford, Stags Leap and other emerging sub-appellations. The climate of these regions — warm days and cool evenings — yields grapes with the perfect balance of ripe fruit flavors and natural acidity.
Tolley has over 25 years of winemaking experience, including being involved in the making of many vintages of the famous Penfolds Grange. The estate is located in the heart of Coonawarra, with the vines planted in the famed "terra rossa" soils – bright red top-soils overlaying soft free-draining limestone.
Critically acclaimed as one of Coonawarra's leading estates, and voted as one of the International Wineries of the Year 2001 by Wine & Spirits Magazine, while the Reserve Cabernet voted best wine of Coonawarra 2001, as judged by winemaking peers and critics.
The Penley Estate signature style comprises distinct, precise, terrior driven wines – not overly oaked or excessively alcoholic. They display ripe clean fruit with true regional character – the senior wines will age for many years.
Blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Syrah, 2% Merlot
A longtime leader, Two Vines earns consistent "Best Value" and "Best Buy" designations from leading wine publications.
Their 75 acres of Carmenére vineyards are some of the most beautifully managed we have yet to lay eyes upon.
Blend: 50% Grenache - 35% Syrah – 15% Carignan
Tautavel produces a wine with exceptional style and a bouquet of ripe fruit (blackcurrants, blackberries), crystallized fruit and spices. The wine offers depth on the palate and a pleasant sweetness ccompanied by ripe tannins with spices lingering on the finish.
Every wine evokes the image and emotions from the South of France; "Art de Vivre" – the "art of life." Committed to producing quality wines of great value, Gerard is hands on in every facet which bears his name… and has been fortunate to receive great accolades from World Wide press reinforcing his dedication.
"I welcome all to experience the South of France; here at Chateau L'Hospitalet or at your own home or favorite restaurant."

The second song on Joy, Stealing Time From The Faulty Plan, sounds polished but doesn't lose any of the power and verve that makes the song a winner in concert. Keyboardist Page McConnell starts the song off with a quick swipe at the piano and asserts himself throughout the tune by adding a number of melodic riffs to the mix during the verses and Trey's 90 second solo.
After Joy begins with two rockers, we get a breather of sorts for track number three with the tender title track. Trey starts off on an acoustic that's mic'd real close as you can hear every move his fingers make up and down the fret board. Anastasio pours his heart into this one and while the lyrics may be a bit syrupy the delivery is sweet. Lillywhite seems to excel at capturing Phish power ballads and Joy keeps that record intact.
Just in case you were starting to think this was a Trey solo album, the Mike Gordon-written Sugar Shack follows Joy returning the disc to the party vibe of the first three tunes. By far the funkiest track on the album, Sugar Shack shows off some fine handiwork from all four members including drummer Jon Fishman's heavily syncopated beat, McConnell's light touch on the clavinet, Trey's pointed leads and Gordon singing harmony with himself during the chorus. This quirky tune is a true group effort and will sound great played loud on your stereo. Some of the live versions may have been a bit shaky but the version on Joy does the song justice.
One of the things that should capture Phish fans' attention quickly on Joy are the drum tracks. I'm not sure if it has to do with recording in an actual studio as compared to The Barn but you can hear the complex rhythms Fish lays down so much better than on the group's last few releases. Plus, he came up with inventive parts and nailed them. Ocelot is just one of the tracks that benefits from the drummer's reemergence as he lays down a slinky Dead-like groove that allows the other three to add all sorts of adventurous fills without losing the beat.
If it wasn't clear Joy was a straight-forward rock album on the first half of the disc just wait until Kill Devil Falls kicks in. This cousin of Chalk Dust Torture and Character Zero would've been a hit in the '70s during the hey day of rock radio. Anastasio's tone is crunchier and more aggressive than on the other tracks and Page fills out the sound nicely on organ. McConnell also steps up with a nice, quick solo before Trey spends a minute setting the fretboard a blaze.
Most of the songs on Joy are arranged and sound just like the live versions. In fact, Phish fans might be a little underwhelmed at how little studio trickery takes place on the album…until they hear Light. In concert, the band has segued into Light each time they've played it but on Joy the song starts with a brilliant 90 second delay-driven intro that stands out as the best part of the disc. It seems like a completely different song before Gordon drops some bombs leading into the verses which, again, feature double-tracked Trey vocals. Light concludes with a cool a capella segment, similar to what they did at Fenway Park earlier this summer, that cuts out just before Anastasio asks "Hey Page, where ya been?"
I Been Around – which started with that same introduction at SPAC – shows off the fun, quirky side of Phish that has been an integral part of their success. McConnell leads the band in his best Lawn Boy-esque lounge singer voice through a tune that's similar in style and structure to Billy Hill's "The Glory of Love." You can hear how much fun the band is having recording the tune as Page urges Trey on during his brief solo by yelling "alright" and "oh yeah!"
The penultimate song on Joy is the longest and most complex tune on the album, Time Turns Elastic. Musically, TTE hearkens back to the early days of Phish when Anastasio was writing epic multi-part compositions but lyrically it seems more like a song off of Shine or Bar 17 and Trey's words just don't stop coming at you quickly. In concert, you get the payoff of the jam that ends the tune but that's nowhere to be found on the studio version.
As you make your way through Joy you find standout moments from each member of the band and Mike Gordon fans will want to take note of his work during the album's final track, Twenty Years Later. If Gordon's bass was human it would probably sue him for assault and battery as the bassist unloads relentlessly on his instrument with quick, melodic runs, especially towards the end of the song. Anastasio and McConnell trade off lyrics in the chorus leading to Trey taking over singing into what sounds like a megaphone during the bridge before Gordon gets his shining moment.
So, how does Joy compare to the band's other releases? It's near the top in this Phish fan's view as Lillywhite really captured the live vibe and put together a well-rounded album that shows off the best of batch of songs the band has written since before their hiatus. The quartet and their producer clearly had the fans in mind when putting this together and I think most of the group's followers will find Joy in the new album.

decent review. i will say however that calling the lyrics to the song joy a bit syrupy is a giant disservice to what the song was about. i think joy is possibly the best song trey has ever written, given the circumstance it was written for. joy is an amazing album reminiscent of hoist,(no small comparison)that while maybe on the poppy and fruity side, exemplifies the range of their talent, and ability to convey emotion thru uplifting beats and positive verse and lyricism.

Would women date a 32-year-old virgin?
I am a 32-year-old man and I have never had sex. To make matters worse, I have never even been on a date or experienced any romantic relationship.... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Wow. That's amazing.
No women will not get freaked out or think you are weird.
They will definitely think it's odd but they will feel special to be the "one" to ummmm open up a side of you you haven't discovered yet.
So, save it for the special one who you feel truly deserves it.
Dont go out telling people ur a virgin though. And you lack experience.
Just wait till you know you can truly trust her.
Although, careers will last a long time, being inlove, is a totally different experience, that money cannot buy. So, take some time off, from your super busy schedule to go out and explore.
What Girls Said 6
It's totally ok to be virgin, But being shy is not ok. If you wanna start a relationship you need to gain confidence so you are not shy any more. I don't see any reasons for you to be shy, You say you have been told you are good looking, Then you are and You have a good career. I don't think any woman would freak out to know you are not experienced. It's never late to start romantic relationships and sex life. Just start when you feel like you are ready .
Besides you don't need to learn how to flirt, Just be yourself, Don't be shy and act like" you are the man" , The rest comes itself.
It is SO hot to hear a guy is a virgin! Sex is everywhere, and to meet someone who didn't /doesn't put such importance on it is really admirable, and did I mention smokin' ass hot?!
Thing is, since you are shy it is going to be hard to meet someone. Girls don't normally make the first move. Unless we are 100% sure. So if your interested in someone you gotta find some way to let them know it. Even if its just to come out and say how nice she always looks.
I think that there is nothing wrong with it at all. I would wait before I disclosed it to make sure that the one that you are with is serious about you. Lots of woman like men like you because for one you are sincere and second because they can teach you the things that they like! You should be proud of it.
What Guys Said 1
Find the right girl and nothing will freak her out. But Like I've been told Have confidence about your situations. The best way to meet girls is to go where they go. Gyms, book clubs, dance clubs. Just keep your eyes open and keep sex in the back of your mind.
Thats my thoughts, Good Luck!!
Have an opinion?

Twenty-five years ago the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded, sending plumes of radiation around the planet and devastating the area surrounding the plant to this day. The world learned firsthand then about the dangers of nuclear power. Today, the ongoing nuclear disaster at Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant is a tragic reminder of the threat that nuclear plants pose to nearby communities and the environment. Yet many in Washington appear so captured by the nuclear industry that they are still seeking to run old nuclear reactors longer and harder than ever before, and still trying to subsidize the nuclear industry so it can build new reactors. Will it take a Chernobyl or a Fukushima on US soil before our lawmakers understand that nuclear power is unnecessary, dangerous and expensive? Despite the spin from the nuclear industry, the truth is that every nuclear reactor has the potential for a Chernobyl-scale release of radiation. Can we imagine what a catastrophe would look like at one of the 104 nuclear reactors in the United States? 1 in 3 Americans live within 50 miles of a nuclear plant, and many plants threaten major cities. More than 17 million people live within 50 miles of New York's Indian Point, an old nuclear plant in an active seismic zone north of New York City. What would happen in New York City if an earthquake, terrorist attack, or accident led to a catastrophic release of radiation?
We don't have to live with this threat. Instead of allowing these old reactors to run decades beyond their licensed life spans, we should be shutting them down. Instead of wasting taxpayer dollars to subsidize the construction of new nuclear reactors, we should be investing in safe solutions like renewable energy and energy efficiency. These technologies are ready now - in the last four years, 30,000 megawatts of wind and solar power have been built in the United States, and 0 megawatts of new nuclear power. Our global energy scenario shows that we truly can meet our energy needs and phase out nuclear and coal power. Let's take the lessons from Chernobyl and Fukushima to heart, and phase out nuclear power before the next catastrophe.

I don't understand the rationale behind Indian Point. It is located 50 miles from Manhattan, you say: so a 5mph wind would carry radiation from there ...
I don't understand the rationale behind Indian Point. It is located 50 miles from Manhattan, you say: so a 5mph wind would carry radiation from there into Times Square within 10 hours -- a 10mph wind would do it in 5 hours -- so how fast do those nor'easter winds blow? No-brainer...
Out here in California we build our Nuke power plants on earthquake faults just the way you do, and the Pacific offers coastal winds nearly (!) as strong as the Atlantic's. So, no-brainer as well that radiation would get to Spring Street Los Angeles, & Hollywood, & Union Square San Francisco, & Golden Gate Park, & North Beach & Telegraph Hill, pretty quickly too.
We've seen all this already at Chernobyl, and we're all seeing it now at Fukushima Dai Ichi and Tokyo. So what is the argument for re-licensing these things, and continuing their operation, and not tearing them down? So turn off some lights, go solar & wind & tidal -- No New Nukes / No Old Nukes / No Nukes At All!

Two of the three co-founders of the altruistic startup This Bar Saves Lives — Todd Grinnell and Ravi Patel — stop by the Upstart Business Journal to talk about their mission, what it's like to work in a three-man leadership team, and what their favorite pieces of advice are. (J. Jennings Moss/Upstart Business Journal)
Ravi Patel and Todd Grinnell are two of the three co-founders of This Bar Saves Lives, a granola bar company based in Venice, Calif. that's trying to fight world hunger. J. Jennings Moss/Upstart Business Journal
The UpTake: A trio of Hollywood actors are finding that being in movies and TV shows has become a side job to their real passion: running a granola bar company that has the mission of fighting world hunger, one that's been embraced by Whole Foods.
A ctors lending their names to charitable and philanthropic causes isn't anything new. But it's rare to find a group of Hollywood journeymen band together to create a company to push that cause.
Meet the trio behind the granola bar company, This Bar Saves Lives— Ryan Devlin, Todd Grinnell and Ravi Patel(all three are recognizable even if their names don't automatically come to mind; click each one to get their actor bios from IMDB). The three run the company from offices in Venice, Calif., not far from the hub of the entertainment industry they're all still part of.
The company launched in July 2013. Today, 13 months later, Whole Foods supermarkets started selling the bars in 200 of its 375 U.S. stores. That follows news that all 150 Sprouts Farmers Market stores are selling them. Recently, Grinnell and Patel stopped by the Upstart Business Journal headquarters in New York to share their story. Check out highlights here and in the attached video.
Inspired by an African journey and an American problem: The project got its start when two of the three co-founders—Devlin and Grinnell—went to Liberia in 2008 to help rebuild a bridge for villagers. While there, they toured a refugee camp where they saw children who suffered from acute malnutrition and who were being fed a product called Plumpy Nut. But the relief organization didn't have enough funds to provide enough Plumpy Nut to those who needed it. That sparked an idea: how about creating a high-end granola bar sold in U.S. stores where with each purchase, a Plumpy Nut bar would be sent to a community that needed it. The other side was that the trio wanted to create a product that was nutritionally good on its own, given the rates of obesity in this country. To date, they've sold more than 300,000 granola bars and in turn, donated more than 300,000 nutritional packets.
Points of inspiration: Devlin had read the book Start Something That Matters by Blake Mycoskie, the founder of Toms Shoes. Grinnell was impressed with the story of Warby Parker, which donates eyeglasses to kids. Ravi Patel, the third co-founder, was good friends with other leaders of social enterprise companies. All three of them were fans of Paul Newman, both as an actor and a philanthropist. "Our dream is to be like Newman's own someday and have a variety of different products that are helping," Grinnell said.
The mission behind the mission:"We are mission first," Patel said. "We're a bunch of actors who had no business being in the granola business and are doing this because we want to help a problem, so we always have to keep an eye on that. That means being as savvy as possible with the quality of what we give while being as efficient as possible in how we give it." One example of that efficiency: instead of figuring out how to get the Plumpy Nut to children in refugee camps, they give to Save the Children, which handles the actual distribution.
Not a non-profit or a B-corp.: This Bar Saves Lives is set up as a for-profit company, even though its mission seems more fitting for another model. The founders say the enterprise is profitable with all the profits getting sunk back into the business, though they won't discuss specifics. "It's a win-win for everbody," Grinnell says. "It allows us to build a big business that can do a lot more over time rather than us trying to constantly fundraise and generate money that way."
What comes first, acting or the business? To hear them tell it, they each have two full-time jobs — one performing in TV shows and movies, the other running This Bar Saves Lives. "This is by far our number one priority," Patel says, adding that he had passed on a string of auditions just to spend more time on the company. Grinnell runs the operation's side of the business and all the philanthropic outreach, Devlin heads up the sales side, and Patel oversees marketing, partnerships and finance duties.
Phase one was all about brand and proof of concept: They spent time making sure the bars themselves were made well. They forged connections with philanthropic leaders. And they focused on creative partnerships: in one, they offered the bars to select restaurants who deconstructed them and then put new creations on their menus in a promotion called "This Desert Saves Lives." In another, with People Water, they put in a bar with every water order. They also went after targeting tastemakers, contacting hip coffee shops to ensure their product was being offered.
Phase two is about growing up: Their goal is to sell a million of the company's granola bars, which is where the distribution deals with Whole Foods and Sprouts play a big role. "It's hitting the gas on all of the verticals that we planted the seeds in the first phase," Patel says, adding they also have the bars in every Morgans Hotel property; at big events like Coachella, which is produced by AEG Music; and with chain restaurant properties. Phase two also involves creating new products, including a kids' line.

Any Reno-Tahoe-Carson Valley dualsport riders want to meet up?

In the last 30 years we've had two serious accidents involving dirt bikes in the Pine Nuts. The first was a kid that thought racing meant you always held the throttle WFO. He was out on three mile track and launched a jump where he could not see the landing and landed on a quad. Broke his femur in a few spots and gave up riding. The second was the one that killed Jessie Goldberg. It was a head on, but the extenuating circumstances were both riders were running at racing speeds in a tight sand wash, with Jessie running the wash backwards. As they came together the other rider tried to climb out of the wash, and the freaky aspect was Jessie caught the foot peg of the other rider's bike square in the opening of his full face helmet.
Be careful Sunday, forecast is for thunderstorms across the eastern slope of the Sierra. The ridges out here have been getting pummeled by lightening, fortunately with enough rain to lightening fires to a minimum.

Ummah Caramel Chocolate Bar
Ummah Foods is a British manufacturer of Halal chocolates, and was established in 2004. Being Halal means it follows the process of having absolutely no alcohol in the bar or any form of animal fat in the ingredients or the processing itself. The company only has two bars out at the moment – this caramel chocolate bar and an orange chocolate bar. I found both in my local Tesco in the World Food aisle, and it's possible that you could do the same.
The package is fairly plain looking. They have a Halal stamp and it says that 10% if the net profit goes to charity, though I'm not aware of which ones that is. The bar is fairly weighty and you can feel that there are breakable sections through the wrapper. It's a relatively plain plastic foil wrapper, so let's just open it.
Inside is a fairly plain looking bar. There are six pieces to be broken off. It looks a bit darker than regular milk chocolate, though that is indeed what it uses. The caramel is very runny, and it located in each segment, there's a fair amount of it but it has no consistency and just pretty much runs down your throat before you've barely chewed the chocolate.
The chocolate, if nothing else, has quite a unique taste to it. The lack of animal fats has perhaps changed the taste, and it's a bit different to anything I've had before. The caramel is quite nice when you can taste it, but I could only get it on my tongue a couple of times. While the chocolate may be different, that's not necessarily good or bad, as in the end it's fairly plain.
And that about sums the bar up, it's nothing too special really. It's great though that we have Halal bars now and with profits going to charity as well, that can only be a good thing. So while not being fantastic chocolate, the company deserves some praise and it's nice to know you're doing a good thing by buying one of their bars.Share This

VIDEO: John Cleese talks Fable III in new developer diary
As hotly anticipated as hovercars, but more likely to make an appearance this decade, Fable III on the Xbox 360 promises a stack of new features and characters, and heralds in a new beginning for the franchise.
One of the game characters to make his debut, faithful butler Jasper is voiced by John Cleese who, in this video, gives an insight into the plot of the entire game. And his presence certainly complies with Lionhead's insistence that this latest instalment is heavily peppered with comedy.
The video also reveals a revamped control system and 3D dynamic maps, allowing you to look around the environment without feeling like you've left the game. It also shows some previously unknown nuggets that even fans of the former two games will find surprising.
Fable III is expected to hit stores around Christmas time.

The sold-out event, attended by roughly 6,000 people, managed to raise over $476,000.
All proceeds from the concert will go to the United Phoenix Firefighters Charities, which will distribute directly to the families of the fallen firefighters.

Simple but effective way to put steam in your wfo
1 Attachment(s)
I am going to build my door out of stainless steel, the door will be about 2 to 3 inches thick and on the inside of the door I will use that Insutated board (Cal-cil) as a insulation (2 or 3 layers).
I then am thinking of making a hole in the door only about 1/3" to 1/2 a inch in diamiter. Obviously the hole will be drilled in the Stainless Steel first and then get a 1/3" or 1/2" inch Stainless Steel tube or bush and slot it in the holes and weld it right around so its all sealed neatly. You can then open and close this hole by using a piece of Stainless Steel that swings across the hole both on the inside of the door and the outside of the door as needed. You want to make sure you attach both the inner flap and out together via a 5mm rod so when you open the outer flap the inner one opens also. Alternativley you can have just the one flap that opens and closes on the outside if you wish.
The reason for this hole is simple yet very effective ONLY if one enjoys making bread using there WFO. You then purchase a new cheap garden pump spray bottle usually used for spraying insecticide, that ones that have the long steel nozzles. The whole idea is so you can just poke the steel nozzle in the hole, then with a gentle push of the trigger, which comes with these insecticide pumps. This way you can enter a fine mist of water which will turn into steam instintaniassly which is a MUST when baking bread and more importantly your not opening the door each time. However it will only be worth doing if you intend on cooking bread quite often.
P.s. I have attached a photo of the insecticide pumps so you get a better idea what I mean. Unfortunately this nozzle in the photo is not totally steel but they are easy to come across and look basically the same. Once my door is done I will post some photos.
Re: Simple but effective way to put steam in your wfo
Thanks Dean,
I have been placing a 5" pie tin filled with water inside the oven with the bread. Does this do the same thing ?
At what stage of the cooking should the steam be introduced?
Re: Simple but effective way to put steam in your wfo
Hey Dean,
I think thats a great idea... I am due for a new door soon,, I may just drill the hole and put a long heavy bolt thru it.. pull out the bolt as needed.. I hope it wont get too hot though.. If it does I will switch to your method...
Re: Simple but effective way to put steam in your wfo
Got a little info on the steam question.
Modern bread ovens use a steam injection at the beginning of the
baking process. The purpose of the steam is to keep the crust moist and to
allow maximum oven spring before the crust sets.
Wood fired ovens do not have a steam facility (traditionally), and
do not need it if there is enough bread in the oven, as a full load generates
its own steam.
With a small load (or a small oven) you can generate the same
effect by spraying the surface of the bread prior to loading, or by spraying the
interior of the oven just prior to loading.
Also- need to use high protein flour to get maximum ovenspring.
Re: Simple but effective way to put steam in your wfo
That info was from an experienced baker. Yes the water in my pie tin has all gone so it seems I was doing the right thing

Thinking with Insects
Date: 20 May 2010
Venue: London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
Knowledge about insects has informed models and manipulations of human societies, from apiary-inspired labour reform in Victorian Britain to large- scale resettlement schemes for controlling sleeping sickness in colonial Africa. Religious, cultural, economic and political authority has been framed by knowledge of bugs; analysis of their behaviors has challenged our concepts of sociability, intentionality and language. Investigations of their habitats have informed how we construct, cultivate and manage public space. Insects are not only embedded in ecosystems but in cultural understandings; folklore, fiction and media constitute the insect as pest, pollinator or pestilence. In many ways, entomology is a political science par excellence; insect knowledge is enmeshed with the problems of governance, population welfare and ecological stewardship. Insect interventions - vector control, pest eradication, specimen collection and colony cultivation - register the evolving relationship between science, society, and technology.

Iowa Girl Respects Boy Who Refused to Wrestle Her
