When I masturbate, I rub my clit and everything and that feels amazing, but when I finger myself it doesn't do anything for me. I'd rather not use a... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Vgirl told you pretty good, but I would think flat on your back may make it a bit difficult to reach. I think a semi reclining position might work better as it can get your shoulder a little closer to your waist.
Tip for the vibrator thing. Get a permanent marker and put your initials on it, then if your mom finds it she won't think it is hers. I'm assuming that is what you were concerned about as you are over 18 and it would be none of her business if you had one of your own.
Well it's more of an embarrassment factor. My mom tends to talk to other people about what her children are up to lately. yeah....not a good thing to tell the grandparents. hahaha. Also I don;t really want her to know that I masturbate because she'll freak out and think that I'm having sex with my boyfriend which I don't plan on doing until we're married. If she thinks that then she won't let me visit him....we're kind of a nation away. hahaha Virginia for him and Washington for me.
To be honest that was kind of my assumption. Sometimes parents shelter their children too much. They do it with the best of intentions, but the result can be a person going out into the world not fully prepared. If you happen to be the oldest it is particularly hard as you are stuck with all the firsts. I understand your dilema and I am urging you to assert your autonomy whe ever possible. You are a young woman now and soon will be out there on your own, be ready . Good luck :)
Hahaha I'm actually the youngest....
What Guys Said 3
What Girls Said 2
Your "G" stop is inside your vagina about up to the knuckles on your fingers. It's best if you can lay on your back insert your fingers, finger tips up or facing the ceiling that way you can "hit" your "G" spot. Move your finger(s) like you are calling someone to you but only move them 1/4' to 1/2".
It's hard to keep your finger tips towards the top. (your stomach) If your finger tips are to the side too much you will miss your "G" spot.
I hope that you don't have long nails. It will not work because you may scratch yourself.
You know where your clit is so don't forget to warm up by rubbing it first. Use a little KY or baby oil.
Trouble with baby oil is that it's great lube but messy & hard to clean up.
Alright, but which knuckle? the one closest to your finger tip or the middle knuckle? I can assume it's not the top knuckle. hahhaa let me know if I'm wrong.
I should have said in between the two knuckles. You'll figure it out as you go along. Too deep & you may hit your cervix it will not hurt you but at times it is uncomfortable. To do that you would have to put your middle finger all the way in.
Guys are really better at that because (if they know how to do it) they have a better angle of keeping the finger tips upward (to the ceiling or your stomach)
Have an opinion?

Product Description
Moroccan Oil – Intense Hydrating Mask 8.5oz
In stock
Product Description
From the very popular Moroccanoil product line, the Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask naturally and effectively moisturizes, repairs and adds shine to all hair types. Damaged hair regains its resiliency, dull hair glistens again and all hair is softer and more manageable.
About argan oil:
For hundreds of years, argan oil has been used by women in Morocco to condition hair and prevent dehydration in the hot, dry climate. The argan tree (called Argana) is native to South West Morocco and produces fruits much like olives. Inside the fruit, a large nut houses up to three almond-shape kernels, which are the source of the oil. The uses and health benefits of argan oil are numerous and the effects on hair are miraculous.
Try this tip:
Help the mask penetrate by covering your hair in a shower cap and using a hair dryer on warm or hot to heat hair. Make sure to keep the dryer at a safe distance from your cap! For added shine, rinse the mask out with warm water and then finish off with a few seconds of cool (if you can stand it!).
- Intense hydration and replenished moisture without residue
- Repairs hair damage
- Protects hair with antioxidants
- Revitalizes hair
- Creates brilliant shine
- Leaves hair soft and manageable
- Rich, creamy texture
Distribute a teaspoon of the mask evenly through clean, damp hair. Use more for longer hair or as a second application to ends and try a wide-tooth comb for more even distribution. Leave in for 10 minutes and then rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Amendment 2, local candidates on Tiger Bay agenda
Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
The Tampa Tiger Bay Club today highlighted two Hillsborough County races and one of the six amendments up for consideration on the Nov. 4 ballot.
Amendment 2 would enshrine in the stateâs constitution the definition of marriage as only one man and one woman and forbid relationship benefits for any unmarried couples.
One race featured at Tiger Bay was between Republican incumbent Brian Blair and Democratic challenger Kevin Beckner for County Commission. The other was the only School Board race on Novemberâs ballot, between District 7 incumbent Carol Kurdell and Stephen Gorham, who criticized Kurdell for the school districtâs handling of school bus assignment confusion earlier in the school year.
Gorham received 39 percent of the vote in the August primary, Kurdell received 45 percent. Since no candidate earned more than 50 percent, they will face off on Novemberâs ballot.
Kurdell agreed that the school district did not communicate well during the bus confusion. âHas the communication sucked? Yes, big time.â
The County Commission District 6 race is between Kevin Beckner and incumbent Brian Blair, who did not attend Fridayâs Tiger Bay Club meeting. Beckner criticized Blair on a number of fronts, from overdevelopment to wasting taxpayer money.
Last month the countyâs Moral Courage Award was named after the late Ralph Hughes, a pro-development conservative who often made political donations to Republicans, including Brian Blair. Beckner pledged to try to return the award to its status of not being named after any particular person, if elected.
On the day when groups in favor of Amendment 2 launched a statewide television ad, the president of the Tiger Bay Club of Tampa, April Schiff, apologized for only being able to find one proponent willing to speak, despite a statewide search. Two people spoke against Amendment 2, the âFlorida Marriage Protection Amendment.â
In addition to adding the definition of marriage as only one man and one woman to the stateâs constitution, it would also forbid relationship benefits for any unmarried couples such as domestic, partners according to Pat Kemp, the Vice Chair of the Hillsborough County Democratic Executive Committee.
David Caton is executive director of the Florida Family Association, a group in that supports Amendment 2. In April, Caton criticized Tampa for extending health insurance benefits to city employees in domestic partnerships. Caton claimed the amendment would not overturn domestic partnership benefits, but when asked by a Tiger Bay Club member whether that means he would stop challenging those benefits, he refused.

Israel likely will not have palm fronds from the Sinai for this year's Sukkot lulavs.
Terror in the Sinai and a lack of communication between Israeli and Egyptian agricultural agencies are the reasons that the palm fronds will not be imported, Israel National News reported Monday. They are grown in the Sinai's al-Arish area, located west of the Gaza Strip.
Last year, Egypt banned the export of the palm fronds to Israel, leading to fears of a lulav shortage for the holiday and higher prices. Israel's Agricultural Ministry then encouraged local palm farmers to increase production.
Avner Rotem, manager of date palms on Kibbutz Tirat Tzvi in the Beit Shean Valley, told INN that there should be enough lulavs grown in Israel to meet domestic needs and for export.
Israel previously had imported about 700,000 palm fronds a year in the run-up to Sukkot, which is about 40 percent of the annual demand. Another 700,000 of the 2 million lulavs used in Diaspora Jewish communities also came from Egypt.
The holiday begins on the evening of Sept. 30.

10 Questions with Admissions
Pomona Preview
Please view our Pomona Preview brochure.
Pomona College has everything you might expect from one of the nation's finest liberal arts colleges—exceptional faculty, an intimate learning environment and a broad-based curriculum. But before you assume we're just like everyone else, here are a few questions we hope you'll ask that will help you see why Pomona College is anything but ordinary…
I'm a social butterfly, and 1,600 students seems pretty small. Won't a larger school offer me more opportunities?
We like to think Pomona offers the best of both worlds—an intimate learning environment with average class sizes of 15, and the access and facilities of a large research university. Our membership in the Claremont Colleges means we share resources with five other top colleges (known locally as the "5Cs") and two graduate institutions located, quite literally, next door to one another. With a combined student body of about 5,000, students have a social and campus experience that rivals many larger schools.
I've got my list of potential majors narrowed down to 20-30 options. Is that a problem?
Problem? More like awesome. We love students with broad interests, and in fact encourage exploration though our general education requirements and flexible curriculum. Once you're ready to decide, we have 47 majors to choose from, covering almost every academic discipline.
As much as I like cleaning beakers and making coffee, access to REAL research is important to me. Can I do that at Pomona?
Student-faculty research opportunities abound, giving students the chance to work closely with faculty on projects that truly advance the boundaries of knowledge. It's not uncommon for first-year students to get involved before their second year begins. The Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) enables students to conduct extended, focused research in close cooperation with a Pomona faculty member. Research projects, which receive funding from Pomona and from public and private foundations, take place both on campus and in the field.
Assuming my break dancing career doesn't take off, private schools seem very expensive. Can I afford Pomona?
To maintain the remarkable strength and variety of Pomona's student body, the College's financial resources are critical. For U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and students graduating from US high schools, admission decisions are made without consideration of a student's financial circumstances. More than half of Pomona's students receive financial aid from the College to support their study, and the College meets 100 percent of the demonstrated financial need of every enrolled student. Since 2008, all financial aid awards have been a combination of scholarships, grants and work study only.
Who teaches at Pomona? Do all the professors smoke pipes and wear tweed jackets?
While we can't guarantee that no one wears tweed, like their students, Pomona faculty members are diverse in background and scholarly interests. All are committed teachers of undergraduates. They frequently experiment with new approaches and materials, tailoring instruction to the changing world beyond their classrooms or laboratories. Astronomy instructors and students may stargaze from the College's one-meter telescope on nearby Table Mountain, for example, while those in archaeology may investigate prehistoric sites on the Santa Barbara Channel Islands.
Ok, the faculty are great, but what about the students? Do I have to be a Harry Potter fan to fit in?
It's difficult to generalize about Pomona students—they're so varied and original that they resist easy categorization—but there are a few traits we can safely say are typical. Pomona students embrace new ideas, take initiative, ask questions and challenge the status quo. They are as academically capable a group as any college or university can claim, and they are interested in doing something important with their talents. It's also safe to say that among them, you're sure to find some of the most interesting and inspiring people you'll ever encounter in your life. They also share a spirit of openness and collaboration. Our students are driven but not cutthroat— that's a very important distinction.
And it's ok if you don't like Harry Potter—just don't tell the Quidditch club.
Every college brochure shows a diverse student body (and people lying on a lawn, weirdly). What will I REALLY find at Pomona?
Students come to Pomona from every state in the nation and from many other countries, from private and public schools, from large cities, suburbs and towns so small they don't appear on most maps. Our student body is almost exactly half men, half women. More than one-third are students of color, and a substantial portion—across all ethnic backgrounds—are in the first generation of their families to attend a four-year college or university. We strive to provide informal and formal support for all students through various campus offices, such as the Asian American Resource Center, Queer Resource Center, Pomona College Women's Union, Office of Black Student Affairs, Office of the Chaplains, Chicano/Latino Student Affairs and International Place.
I like the idea of attending college, but I also like the idea of frolicking with wild abandon on the beach. What should I do?
You're in luck. Its not uncommon for our students to lament that there is simply not enough time in the the day. Not only does Pomona provide world-class higher education, but provides an almost-unparalleled range of opportunities and resources. Consider our annual Ski-Beach Day - a chance for a busload of adventurous students dons parkas and gloves to try their skills on slopes of the nearby Mountain High resort. Then in the afternoon they board the bus once more for the ride to Newport Beach, or one of the other local beaches, to end the day with a cook-out by the sea, complete with swimsuits and boogie boards. It's just one of the hundreds of campus events available to students at the Claremont Colleges, along with Humans vs. Zombies, Art After Hours and guest speakers like Bill Gates and comedian Dmitri Martin.
My mom seems to think I need to get a job after college. What opportunities do Pomona grads have?
A Pomona education stays with you. It reminds
you that although you may have left this remarkable place, your responsibility
to take its energy and ideals into the greater world does not diminish. Four
years at Pomona not only prepare one for a career, but are the first steps in a
life of purpose, innovation and accomplishment.
Given the diversity of the student body, it is perhaps not surprising that students pursue their passions after graduation in a variety of ways. In addition to the 13 Fulbright grants awarded to Pomona students last year, the most recent graduating class had one Churchill Scholarship winner, a NIH Oxford Cambridge Scholarship winner, one Watson Fellow and three Goldwater Scholarship winners.
Thirty-five percent of that class had job offers prior to graduation, with employers as wide-ranging as Google and Delliotte Consulting, to the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art and the Kansas City Royals. At least ten planned to participate in Teach for America or City Year. Eighteen percent were going on immediately to graduate school, attending programs which included University of Pennsylvania School of Law, Columbia University, Harvard University, UC Berkeley, Northwestern, Duke, NYU, Stanford, Tufts and the University of Cambridge. On average, 85% of Pomona graduates continue their studies graduate or professional school within 10 years.
I'd like to send the Pomona Admissions Office freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, but they always seem to come out hard and tough. What can I do?
To prevent cookies from becoming hard and tough, avoid adding more flour than necessary to the cookie dough or batter. Also, avoid over-mixing once the flour is added. Don't give up! We're sure you'll get it. And just in case you don't have it, our mailing address is:

Today, on the radio program Virginia Insight, the topic will be educating for creativity. The three guests will all be connected to Sweet Briar: Professor Dave Griffith (Creative Writing, and director of the new summer program for young artists), Professor Tom Scott (Business, and coordinator of pilot "entrepreneurial educator" initiatives), and Geoff Kershner, founder and director of endstation theater company, our official theater company in residence during the summer months. I understand that the program will be available later this week as a podcast and also that it will be repeated next Sunday at 3 pm on WMRA, 103.5 in Charlottesville, if you'd like to listen.
Educating for creativity does not mean simply preparing students for careers or avocations as creative artists. It means developing the kind of creative problem-solving and innovative thinking that lead to greater achievement in all kinds of endeavors. BLUR is already being recognized as a distinctive program that reaches across artistic disciplines to develop flexibility, innovation, and creativity as intellectual capacities that are invaluable in all fields.
If you're interested in the role of creativity in education, you might enjoy this TED talk by Ken Robinson, a leading advocate for creativity in education at all levels. Meanwhile, of course, the creativity and innovation demonstrated by all those who have put the Blur program together represents the kind of innovative approach to pedagogy and program development that makes what we do here at Sweet Briar so continually interesting.

'The Walking Dead': Steven Yeun looks uncannily like Glenn
Even if we hadn't already previewed "The Walking Dead" and loved it, Zap2it would be predisposed to liking the new AMC series for the casting alone.
Steven Yeun plays Glenn, one of the survivors who's holed up in Atlanta and runs into sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes ( Andrew Lincoln) in Episode 2. Yeun discusses Glenn's popularity among the fans, and how he celebrated landing the part.
We also like his answer for which body part he'd sacrifice to a zombie if the need arose.
We later talk to "The Walking Dead" writer Robert Kirkman and series producer Gale Anne Hurd. They discuss the genesis of adapting the series for the screen and also express how uncanny it is that Yeun looks just like Glenn.
Kirkman also has a hilarious reason why he loves both "Survivor" and "The Walking Dead."

The Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Wednesday said indicted oil marketers were behind the demonstration embarked upon by a former member of the House of Representatives and Executive Secretary of a civil society group, Anti-Corruption Network, Mr. Dino Melaye.
Okonjo-Iweala said no amount of intimidation or harrassment will make her do what is not proper to the country.
Melaye had led a group of demonstrators to the ministry yesterday afternoon.
A statement issued by the Mr. Paul Nwabuikwu, Senior Special Assistant to the minister, alleged that the ministry had established concrete evidence that the demonstration was sponsored by indicted oil marketers
"We have it on good authority that Melaye's group was sponsored by some of the indicted oil barons who are currently being investigated and prosecuted for subsidy fraud. Their allegation to wrong subsidy payments made by the Ministry is a mere ruse to conceal their true motives.
"It is important to note that the Federal Ministry of Finance does not pay any contractor directly. The relevant ministries do. So this allegation by Melaye and his group is completely wrong and without foundation.
"Also, whenever its statutory mandate requires that it makes any payments, the Ministry follows strict payment procedures, and only pays when there is appropriate documentation from relevant agencies," the statement added.
The demonstration, the statement stressed, "was ostensibly to call for the resignation of the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance who is well known for fighting the fraudulent oil barons whose names were published by the Ministry for various breaches of the subsidy regime."
According to the statement, Nigerians were not deceived by the antics of Melaye, "who has no known pedigree as a civil society activist or even a reputation for honour or common decency."
"When asked by the Ministry's Permanent Secretary, Mr. Danladi Kifasi, to submit a written statement, Melaye said that they did not come with any. This gives an indication of the level of seriousness of the effort.
"Curiously, Melaye and his cohorts, in making their frivolous allegations, did not mention the fact that the Federal Ministry of Finance under the leadership of Dr Okonjo-Iweala took the unprecedented step of publishing the names of 25 companies which were investigated by the Aig-Imoukhuede Committee for various breaches of the subsidy regime," the ministry added.
"They also neglected to say that many of the indicted marketers are currently undergoing interrogation and prosecution. As a direct result of the Ministry's efforts against corruption in the subsidy regime and tighter procedures, the nation has saved billions of naira that would otherwise have gone to corrupt marketers.
"The Federal Ministry of Finance stands steadfast in its resolve to fight against corruption and manage the finances of the country in the best interest of the Nigerian people," it stated.

When I do my gag reel intros for Tabletop, I always get them to my producer on Tuesday, because they need to be edited and uploaded by noon on Wednesday for a release on Thursday.
And you just thought it all happened by magic! For shame. For shame.
I've been so busy lately, with various secret projects and w00tstock at Sketchfest and preparations for JoCo Cruise Crazy next week, I completely forgot to record my intro for this week's gag reel. Nick, my producer, emailed me this morning to remind me that I hadn't sent it in, and that we were running out of time to get it done. I looked at the clock, realized that I didn't have time to really put myself together and record it, so I asked Anne if she'd just shoot me for a minute or so at our dining room table.
This was also not as easy as it sounds, because she's doing online traffic school thanks to an epic bullshit ticket (70 in a 65 on the Interstate, no radar, she fought it and lost. Shasta County is corrupt IMHO) and can only take short breaks during the day.
Luckily for us and people who enjoy my bed head posts at G+, the stars aligned and we were able to shoot the intro. Here's the (in my opinion hilarious) thumbnail that my shows up in my finder when I look at the file:
Yes, that's the bathrobe I wear every day. I got it from Think Geek. It's as awesome as you think.
You can see the intro I recorded, and the gag reel it introduces, tomorrow at Internet o'clock on Geek and Sundry. You can see a little tease from the gag reel right now.

Box office: 'One Direction: This is Us' wins 3-day weekend, 'The Butler' not far behind
While the 3D concert film "One Direction: This is Us" had a really strong Friday, things weren't as great Saturday. The movie looks like it'll win the 3-day weekend with $17 million, but it's losing ground to "Lee Daniels' The Butler," which is still holding on with $14.7 million after making more than "This is Us" on Saturday (September 31). The real fight looks like it'll happen Monday, with many off work for Labor Day.
Selena Gomez and Ethan Hawke's "Getaway" continued to not impress, dropping one more spot and landing at number nine, with a $4.5 million weekend. Doing quite a bit better is "Instructions Not Included." The movie, a product of Mexico, made $7.5 million on only 347 screens around the country. That's a pretty impressive feat.
The entire Top 10 is below:
1. "One Direction: This is Us" $17,000,000
2. "Lee Daniels' The Butler" $14,742,000
3. "We're the Millers" $12,610,000
4. "Planes" $7,756,000
5. "Instructions Not Included" $7,500,000
6. "Elysium" $6,300,000
7. "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" $5,200,000
8. "The World's End" $4,759,000
9. "Getaway" $4,505,000
10. "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters" $4,425,000

Rather likely -- and not SMP-safe, either. You can certainly use it in
emergencies, e.g., to deal with lost administrator passwords. If you
find yourself needing it, carefully check the volume afterwards.
> Anyone know when write support will be available?
As you may know, code was present for write support (but usually
disabled) in the first NTFS driver, the one that wasn't SMP-safe.
The replacement NTFS driver so far lacks write code entirely.

Tavern Inspection Fee Among Those Considered by La Crosse
Among the dozens of new fees getting consideration in La Crosse city hall is one that would have the city inspection department charge for annual tavern inspections.
It's just thirty dollars. But La Crosse tavern league president Mike Brown says the amount is beside the point. He says small business, including taverns are hurting in the current economy and every additional fee makes it more difficult to stay in business.
The 45 hundred dollars that could be raised from the annual bar inspections is part of the $437 thousand in new fees getting some consideration by the city.

Thread: Time Management
April 20th, 2009 #1
Time Management
For those of us that aren't paid artists (and probably for many of those who are), 'life' can sure get in the way of studying art. Take... uh, me for example. I go to school (two majors and a minor), work, and have a pretty hectic schedule. Basically if I want to sit down and focus on a personal project, it means I have to pull an all-nighter, which I'm reluctant to do most of the time because it greatly affects how well I can study the next day (which means Friday nights are my big art binge time). During the summer, I'm going to be working 60 hours a week (which I'm very thankful for, pays tuition), working out, helping my parents out around the house, and taking online classes. I see all these as essential parts of my life, none of which I mind doing, but it leaves me with very little time to pursue improving my artistic skill. I'm certain I want to pursue art as my career, but looking at the skill level of many of the people on this site, I feel like it's going to be near impossible to catch up (you can look at my deviant gallery if you like (check my sig)... I don't think I'm hopeless, but man do I have a lot of work to do!).
But this topic isn't about me, I'm just using myself as an example. What I want to know is what sort of tips, practical or otherwise, people may have for managing the necessities of life in order to work on their true passion, art. I know I'm not the only one here with a busy schedule... so how do you guys do it? :o

Time management = setting priorities
There are 24 hours in a day.
Of those 24 hours you probably sleep roughly 8 of them.
Then you have 16 hours remaining. In those 16 hours you have to fit everything you do, study, social stuff, working out and developing your art.
Let's assume your 16 hours are completely scheduled.
You can do two things: cut time from one thing and spend it on something else. To put this in other words, if you want a career in art and you think you need to practice more you need to cut time somewhere else. Drop one of your majors or the minor, don't work out, don't help your parents, don't work in the holidays. Spend all that time on art.
If you don't want an art career that bad, there is another option. Finding idle time. I've done a huge part of my study while travelling with public transport. It was about 1.5 hours single trip 4 days/week so I had 12 hours/week to study. Time I didn't need to spend at study while at home.
Recently I went to work with public transport for about 2 months and I could easily have finished reading some books or making some drawings. When travelling with public transport there is a lot of waiting involved (at least for me).
Same what I'm doing now. I'm running some heavy function on our system that causes my entire session to lock up. It will take some time so I can't do much work there. At the moment I'm posting on CA, but on other times I'm reading business documents or working on other things. But I could also draw something, like I did last week.
Bottom line: take a sketchbook with you at all times and use every idle moment to draw. That's the easiest part.
Next learn to set priorities. Can you get good enough for a job in art if you practice more? If so, what of your current activities could you skip? Not entirely but if you help your parents for 2 hours instead of 4 and you draw those two hours, will they get mad at you? Do you want the body of an athlete which requires 3 hours/day of workout or will a regular body you can have with one hour/day be enough for you?
How important is art for you and what are you willing to give up for it?

I don't know, I guess people study what they want to do, what are you studying? If it's not art, why not?
Maby May be read a book on time management or... :o
60 hours of week of 'work' doesn't sound fun or conducive to getting better at what you want to do though.
I mean, sure you have to survive and work, but, you're a student, you should have time to study what you need to, to get into a job you want to do later, if your parents aren't on the virge of bankruptcy and or you're not starving, take a while to do what you want and see if you can't make it what you need.
April 20th, 2009 #4
I've got a lot of respect for people who can pull of busy schedules, but remember to give yourself some time to breathe...otherwise you're gonna burn yourself out.
If you don't already, carry a small blank book with you...something that's gonna be easy to access. Get an idea while you're walking to class? Write it down en route. Professor running a bit late? Sketch some thumbnails, quick gestures, etc. Although I don't recommend drawing during traffic jams...I have. >_> Basically, if you can get your planning out of the way by using up small bites of extra time, you'll have even more time available to work on the actual piece.
April 20th, 2009 #5
I am studying art, majoring in Illustration and Digital Art, minoring in Graphic Design. My school doesn't really push the students that hard though, so I have to do a lot of learning on my own. As for work, those hours are pretty essential. My parents aren't in a position to help with tuition, and scholarships, loans and financial aid only knock out about two thirds of tuition (which sounds like a lot, but that still leaves me with several grand that I have to earn over the summer). I'm not set on being a super-athlete or anything, but I do want to work out an hour and a half or so most days, just so I can feel reasonably good about myself and be healthy. I could sacrifice this, but I don't think it's a wise idea to sacrifice one's health (not that I would be sickly I guess). I need the online classes if I want to graduate on time, and my parents are basically supporting me for free, so not helping them would be pretty ungrateful. I'm not saying this to complain, just sort of thinking my priorities out loud. I mean don't get me wrong, art is a huge priority for me, but right now I just don't think it would be wise to get rid of other things. I might have to wait until I graduate to really focus in on what I want to do... depressing D:
Carrying a sketchbook with me is something I definitely need to get in the habbit of doing. Actually it just occured to me... at my summer job we usually get 2 or three hours of driving time a day. Last year I was one of the only people with a liscence, so I had to the driving, but if that's changed this year then that would be an excellent chance to do some sketches.
Thanks for the comments, appreciate it
April 20th, 2009 #6
It's a tough balancing act. Sometimes I'll sacrifice my body a bit (cut back on exercise) and my sanity (cut back on relaxation & meditation) to get more time for art outside of work, but I can only do that so long before the two things I've sacrificed start affecting the art I'm doing. If I'm stressed out and achy I tend to be much less effective when I do have time to paint. But if I do everything I need to to keep my body & mind fresh I have very little time left to paint. So I go back and forth.
One thing I can recommend is to do something very small every day to keep things moving- a sketch of a simple object from life, a composition sketch, a self portrait, anything that interests you. Like working out, a little bit each day can be more effective than bigger workouts sporadically.
Then find regular times on top of that when you definitely can and will work for longer periods on top of that, and really stick to them. It doesn't have to be huge amounts of time- it's more important to be regular. Leave other times free for relaxation and seeing friends. I find if I'm not regular the whole thing goes to hell and I get very little done. It's tough sometimes when friends are going out and doing something fun on the nights I work on art, but in the long run it's much more frustrating when I don't get the art done.
It can also be very helpful to scale back your expectations to something realistic given your time and work habits. You need to find things that are conducive to the schedule you can keep.
And definitely always keep a small sketchbook on you.
April 21st, 2009 #7
If you are really CERTAIN that you want art as a career, you need to make time for it. A lot of things that we tend to think of as "essential", usually aren't. As soon as you put something in a non negotiable box, then your ability to make changes plummets. As an example, working out for an hour and a half? Admirable, but far from necessary. You can be healthy spending 20 minutes, especially if you are already in decent shape. 2 majors and a minor? Again, admirable for trying to pull it off, but for what? If art is what you are CERTAIN you want to do, it should be ranking as a much higher priority.
You have to make some tough choices sometimes. You may need to sacrifice for something you really want. Get less sleep, get less exercise, go out less, work a more manageable job... whatever it takes. If you aren't willing to sacrifice something, don't be surprised when you never find the time.

5 Fast Rules to Be Bigger, Leaner, and Stronger

Lift Big to Grow Big
The longer you've been lifting weights, the heavier the weights need to be in order for you to see results. On one hand, it's a stupidly obvious point—of course you use bigger weights as you become stronger. But that's not exactly what I'm talking about.
When you were a beginner, you could gain size and strength as long as the weight you used on any given exercise was at least 60 percent of the amount you could lift for a single max-effort repetition. It's a weight you could lift 15 to 20 times in a single set. By any definition, that's pretty light.
Download the 8-Page Pack on Muscle Like a Pro Guide
That percentage, though, increases with experience. Most gym regulars need to use at least 80 percent of their 1-rep max to grow bigger and stronger. Now, we're talking about a weight you could probably lift about 8 times in an all-out set before there's nothing left in your tank.
Be honest: Do you really use weights heavy enough to fall into that range? If you typically perform multiple sets of 8 to 10 repetitions for each exercise, you don't. To use 80 percent of your max for 3 or 4 sets, each set would probably consist of 5 or 6 repetitions.
It becomes even harder from there. If you're beyond the intermediate stage—if you're a serious gym rat and have been lifting consistently for much of your adult life, you might need 85 to 90 percent of your 1-rep max to see genuine progress. In a normal workout with multiple sets of each exercise, we're talking about 2, 3, or 4 repetitions per set.
You can see the problem: Nobody can lift near-max weights on every exercise of every workout. You'd either burn out or hurt yourself, and it wouldn't take long.
Fortunately, there is one loophole.

As we watch the spate of wildfires out in Colorado and other states, one of the great injustices surrounding that concerns the firefighters dispatched to these areas to battle the blazes. It turns out that the 15,000-odd seasonal, part-time workers who fight fires as part of the US Forest Service have no opportunity to purchase federal health insurance.
Both Presidential candidates visited with firefighters in Colorado over the last week, and President Obama did something about the workers who had no health insurance. He took executive action to give them the opportunity to buy into the federal program.
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has directed federal officials to offer seasonal firefighters the option of purchasing federal health insurance coverage, White House officials told The Denver Post Tuesday […]
Under a directive that will be made in the "near future" from the Office of Personnel Management, this group will get that option by the end of this month, White House officials said.
Not yet known is how the eligibility will work and how long these workers will be able to qualify for the federal insurance program. Many move on to other jobs by the time the first snow falls.
It's not going to be entirely easy to capture this community and come up with eligibility rules when they are basically temp workers, but I think everyone can agree it's the right thing to do. It took far too long to make it happen, however.
Casey Judd, president of the Federal Wildland Fire Service Association, said the news made him "happy and frustrated at the same time."
"I'm encouraged there has been renewed interest in this issue … These are problems that could have been fixed 20 years ago," Judd said. "Politicians come out of the woodwork during a good fire season."
Colorado's four Republican members of Congress have thus far made no statement on the record about this executive action.

Summary: 19 April 2013, Brussels - Statement by the President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy, on the occasion of the agreement within the facilitated dialogue on the normalisation of relations between Serbia and Kosovo
I congratulate the Prime Minister of Serbia Ivica Dačić and the Prime Minister of Kosovo Hashim Thaçi for reaching an agreement today within the facilitated dialogue in order to normalise relations between Serbia and Kosovo. I also congratulate the people in Serbia and Kosovo.
The agreement today is historic and marks an important moment in the relationship between Serbia and Kosovo as well as in their relations with the European Union. I commend both Prime Ministers for their personal and courageous contributions to the process. This agreement represents a major achievement as the parties have committed to jointly work towards a future in the European Union.
The European Union wants Serbia and Kosovo to succeed. I reconfirm Serbia's and Kosovo's EU perspectives and underline that the Member States of the European Union have set out an ambitious agenda for both parties in 2013.
Let me encourage the parties to continue with the same constructive approach as regards implementing this agreement. Concrete results in the implementation are critical; there are no shortcuts. The necessary criteria, that will allow the European Union to launch accession negotiations with Serbia and negotiations on a Stabilisation and Association Agreement with Kosovo, must be fulfilled.
Finally, I would like to thank High Representative Ashton for her committed, consistent conduct of the facilitated dialogue crowned in the end with a true break-through.

- The Adventures of SEO Boy® - http://www.seoboy.com -
Letter from the CEO – "Luke, I am your father."
Posted By Pat East On April 1, 2011 @ 11:20 am In Hanapin Marketing News,SEO Boy News | No Comments
Yeah, I realize that's not the actual quotation [1] from Empire Strikes Back [2], but I really wanted to continue the movie quotation theme from last month's Letter from the CEO [3], and this one is perfectly applicable!
In March, I wrote that Hanapin [4] is increasing the investment in our blogs. They're a great source of pride for us, we have a lot of fun with them, and they generate quite a few leads and business too! To that end, we did several new things last month: we added more custom illustrations, a new blog series [5], and we announced Hanapin's volunteer initiative (more on that below). While last month was great—every single one of our engagement metrics on both blogs improved—I think this month will be even better! (Do you see the connection to Empire now? It's better than Star Wars, just like this month is better than last month. Feel free to vehemently disagree in the comments. ☺)
The team has planned a blog series for this month that I think many of our readers will find useful. Four Hanapin team members took the Google Analytics certification test and passed last month [6]. They'll share their insight with you, including how they prepared, what they learned while studying, and how the knowledge they acquired now benefits their PPC and SEO clients.
In addition to the blog series, if the team keeps up last month's pace, they'll write nearly two blog posts every business day! Two topics for PPC Hero will include Google Merchant Center [7] tracking and new geo-targeting strategies in AdWords. For SEO Boy, two topics will be Piracy in Google SERPS and a follow-up of Google Instant and how it has impacted SEO over the last seven months. Last but not least, we're expanding our journalistic skills to start covering PPC and SEO news. We've always focused on writing in-depth posts based on our client experiences, and now we'll be offering breaking news updates too!
Following suit with last month, we'll continue adding custom illustrations each month for the rest of the year. Two of our April illustrations will be for Earth Day (April 22) and Easter (April 24). There's another one [8] too that's already been posted…we thought it was pretty clever. ☺
Because we're Hoosiers, we ran our own version of "March Madness [9]" on PPC Hero. It was so well-received, we decided to conduct a new contest every month, and "SEO Haikus" is up for April! To celebrate National Poetry Month [10], we'll be asking for your best "SEO Haikus" for SEO Boy. There will be a prize for the best one too, so keep your eyes peeled on how to submit them!
Hanapin is making a big investment in our blogs this year, and we're doing the same with our team members and our community. Thank you to everyone who voted on which one of Bloomington's 300 non-profit organizations Hanapin should volunteer at. This summer, we'll devote a half-day of volunteerism to Habitat for Humanity [11]. We'll be sure to post pictures of the event!
Finally, good luck to Bryan, one of Hanapin's Assistant Account Executives. Today is his first full day living in Europe! He's taking advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play football professionally! His contract is for the next two months and for one additional month if they make the playoffs. He'll be doing that while also working for Hanapin remotely. I know he'll do well, and after you watch his highlight film [12], I think you'll agree!
April is going to be a busy month on PPC Hero and SEO Boy. We believe in offering high quality, fun content for you, our readers! We know you'll continue to find that content here on our blogs every month. As always, thank you for reading!

Lactate Work/crosspost.
From the P&B.....may be a bucnh of scientifical BS but what I'm hearing from folks I know still involved in the silliness that is bike racing thsi stuff pans out..in....you know... like in the
real world
and stuff.
........ the current thinking is that lactate per se isn't actually the cause of muscular fatigue. It is a fuel and actually may buffer changes in muscular acidosis and prevent fatigue (this is probably why high intensity warmup that actually generate some lactate seem to improve performance in the actual event, the lactate ends up buffering changes in acid levels).
However, Billat's thing is getting mired in a lot of semantic crap in my opinion. The old idea of the lactate or anaerobic thresholds (as originally defined) are likely garbage. However, this doesn't negate the existence of a threshold speed or intensity above which fatigue occurs very very rapidly. That it occurs is more important practially than what you call it or what is causing it.
The simple fact is that a runner may be able to maintain (and these values are pulled out of my butt)
10mph for essentially forever
10.5 mph for an hour but it works the hell out of them
11 mph and they fatigue in a few minutes
again, values are for example only.
clearly there is a criticial threshold point above which fatigue occurs rapidly. from a practical standpoint, that's essentially what the old ideas of LT/AT/OBLA/etc. were describing.
you can graph velocity versus time to exhaustion and see that kind of pattern. below some level, the athlete can go until they get bored or run out of muscle glycogen, around some point they are working very hard but can maintain speed for extended periods (cyclists will test 20' although an hour maximum time trial isa better indicator), above that point and fatigue hits like a hammer after a few minutes.
It's actually looking like H+ production (rather than lactate per se) is the cause of this. It's also turning out (going to ccrow's point) that the aerobic engine is a much bigger determinant of this than previously thought. Mitochondria buffer acid levels and the bigger the aerobic engine, the less acid is produced.
A common trend in a lot of endurance sports is going back to volumes of low intensity aerobic work with just a bit of higher intensity stuff thrown on to top off the system
(the system adapts quickly but stops adapting equally quickly, some of hte interval studies in cyclists show that 6 workouts across 3 weeks pretty uch maximizes the benefits)).
An example, there's a paper describing the training of the german track cycling team in the 1km (or was it 4k). An event last 4 minutes which most would argue is highly anaerobic.
Most of their training was easy aerobic with some stage racing and a bit of specific track training thrown in at the end.
As I recall, a typical rowing race is roughly 6 minutes and even there they are going back to volumes of low intensity work to build the aerobic engine.
There's also an old idea (Maglioscho's book gets into this) that too much high intensity training can actually degrade the aerobic engine which *might* be what the US Rowing team was experiencing: if their caoches emphasized too much work around or at LT (or high intensity intervals) and lose aerobic engine size, that could actually be detrimental.
Translation of my long-winded crap: it may be better over extended periods of training to build this engine (again going to ccrow's comment) with lower intensity aerobic work. This can be topped off with higher intensity stuff as needed.
Maybe the boxer and martial artists who did extended road work weren't so wrong after all.

The NVIDIA driver requires that the primary display device drive a VGA text console; non-VGA consoles are not supported.
While reviewing the nvidia-bug-report.log files attached to this thread so far, we noticed that most people appeared to be using framebuffer consoles.

Restarting X before switching back (sudo restart lightdm) works fine.
I believe this was the case with or without a vesa fb.
I can confirm that the exact same behavior (black screen with backlight on after waking up from suspend, no signal on external monitor, unless on a text console and restarting x) occurs even with vga=normal, so this does
seem to be related to a framebuffer console. Lenovo T410 with NVS3100m, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with 302.11 driver.
As a side note: The fact that most bug reports here are using a framebuffer console probably stems from the fact that most of today's popular Linux distributions have that enabled by default. Requiring e.g. all Ubuntu users to turn off the framebuffer console manually if they want to use the accelerated graphics driver, without even a clear notice about that, sounds like a non-starter to me.

Each halter is hand made to your specification from strong nylon cord that I can dye one of many beautiful, brilliant colors such as: dark green, aqua, teal, royal blue, purple, scarlet, burgundy, maroon, yellow, white, orange, periwinkle. Pastel shades as well as black and brown are also available. I can make just about any color that you want so, use your imagination! These halters are very versatile!!
All halters come standard with 4
detachable tassels with small bells on each tassel and two detachable tassels/bells
on the throat latch. The throat latch is also detachable. Tassels can be
either the same color as the halter or any other color you desire. Up to three
beads (beads vary with colors) down each side of the halter and 2 on the
nose band. Additional tassels/bells are available. Halter comes with a
matching 6 foot lead with chain.
The halters have two adjustment holes so
there is a small range of sizing. I can't make them too adjustable because
the beads and tassels would not sit correctly on the horses head.
For the very best fit, please measure your horse's head. If measurements are not provided, the
standard adult size measures 34 inches from the ring on one side of the
head to the ring on the other side of the head and 11 inches across the
nose from one ring to ring. Exclusively Arabian halters are ready for the show ring with nothing else
needed. They are American Horse Show Association legal.
Hand wash and air dry.

Mogadishu — At least two people, one of them a government soldier have been killed and eight others have been injured in a separate explosions targeted to a government soldiers in the Somali capital Mogadishu, witnesses told Shabelle radio on Tuesday.
Reports say that a government soldier was killed and 5 civilians were wounded in Derkenley district in Mogadishu after unidentified group threw a grenade to government soldiers in there.
Reports from Derkenley district say that soldiers closed all the business centers around where explosion occurred after the blast halting the movement of the traffic and people in the district.
But locals told Shabelle radio later that the people restarted the traffic and business movement as the situation returned calm now.
On the other hand landmine explosion was targeted to a government soldiers' vehicle traveling on near 21 October neighborhood in Mogadishu, killing a civilian and injuring two others near where explosion occurred.
It is unclear whether casualties reached the police soldiers who were on boar in the vehicle which was targeted the explosion in Halwadag district in the capital.
There is no comment from the government about the explosions so far.

Caseficia Rosso
MargotWe're always saying how beer and cheese are great together—well, in this case the two become one in this hoppy, aromatic toma from Italy's Piedmont region. Made by the family-run Caseficia Rosso, from pasteurized cow's milk and local beer, which is poured directly into the milk during the early stages of cheese-making, it's unlike anything else on our counter. The otherwise mild paste picks up distinctly malty flavors from the beer, and pairs best with salty, tangy snacks like salumi, mixed nuts and cornichons. Read More

Crucial M4 64GB mSATA 6Gb/s Solid State Drive (SSD) - CT064M4SSD3
Award-winning performance. Tiny form factor.
Ultrathin form factor means flexibility.
Consistently fast speeds. No exceptions and no fine print.
Unlike other SSDs on the market, Crucial SSDs treat all files the same, regardless of whether they're compressed or uncompressed. This is important because the files most people use everyday – videos, mp3s, advanced graphics files and zip files – are compressed files and thus unable to be compressed any further. While many SSDs on the market achieve faster speeds by using file compression, many of the most common file types can't be compressed, resulting in SSDs that often deliver drastically slower speeds than originally advertised. With the advanced technology of a Crucial SSD, however, our advertised speeds are tied to real world use.
Crucial - quality you can depend on.

Odd couple Snedeker, Hahn to battle at Pebble
Hahn, 31, played at Cal, but quit the team his senior season because of differences with the coach. Burned out on golf, he quit, got his real estate license and sold shoes. He became re-motivated by watching other Cal players do well on tour.
This season, Hahn has twice shot 62 on Sundays, finishing fourth in the Humana Challenge and 16th in the Phoenix Open. Last week, he became a YouTube sensation when he made a birdie putt at TPC Scottsdale's raucous 16th hole and produced a 13-second "Gangnam Style" dance that had the crowd roaring. YouTube views as of Saturday night: 250,000.
Hahn was asked on Saturday if he had thoughts of playing in the Masters if he wins.
"Zero," he said with his familiar grin. "I'm not even in next week's tournament, so to me a top-10 finish would be great."
