New Chelsea FC Credit Card for UK fans
Published on 16th January 2013
Chelsea Football Club has announced a new and improved Chelsea FC credit card in association with MBNA.
The Chelsea FC credit card, available to UK-based fans, has been launched as part of a renewed five-year credit card partnership with MBNA and offers eligible new customers 16 months at zero per cent interest on balance transfers and three months at zero per cent on purchases*.
Ron Gourlay, Chelsea FC's chief executive, said: "Over the years, we have forged a close, successful relationship with MBNA and, together, we have developed a competitive credit card programme for our supporters in the UK.
"We look forward to another five years with MBNA and to continuing to provide quality products for our supporters. This is a unique opportunity for UK-based fans and helps to support the development of Chelsea FC's future stars."
Michael Donald, MBNA's Business Development and Commercial executive, added: "We are delighted to renew our partnership with Chelsea FC – a strong, successful brand known the world over. This announcement – and the launch of this new offer for fans – is a powerful indication of the strength of our affinity business model, our leadership in the football credit card market in the UK and the trust Chelsea FC and other organisations have with MBNA."
The card also offers fans club-based rewards, where for every pound spent, supporters receive one point which can be redeemed for official Chelsea merchandise.
In place since 2002, the Chelsea credit card partnership is one of MBNA's most successful, with thousands of fans in the UK already holding a credit card bearing the club colours and badge.
* Terms apply. Full details of these offers are available on the website and within customer's terms and conditions. The Chelsea FC credit card now offers new customers successfully applying for the card zero per cent on balance transfers for 16 months (three per cent handling fee applies) – up from 12 months previously – as long as it is made in the first 90 days of the account opening. It also includes zero per cent on card purchases for three months from the date an account is opened.
Representative example 16.9% p.a. variable on card purchases. This is equivalent to 16.9% APR representative variable based on a credit limit of £1200.

We have a wonderful friend who will be here to help him during the birth.
I was thinking to put together a little birth kit of things for him - both things to entertain him and things for him to use to help.
So far, I was thinking to get some gloves at the drug store and some sort of fancy cup for him to pour water over me in the birth pool.
What are some other things that would be good to include in a big brother's birth kit?
We had on-site child care for DD, and DH was smart to recommend that we hide away some new toys to keep her excited and occupied during the birth. Seeing me in such an intense state was kind of stressful for her, so it worked out really well when the sitter brought her into another room to play with the new toys--floor puzzles, giant building blocks, etc.
I guess my point is to consider including some new (or at least new to your DS even if they're technically used) toys in your birth kit. You may end up needing them, and you may not. Have a wonderful birth!
"It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines." - Marcia Angell, M.D., former NEJM Editor Private Parts are Private Property!
I was thinking of taking him out to get some special stuff for the birth about a month before. Let him pick out a couple new special toys and some activity books and then put them in a bag and put it up so he can't play with any of it until the birth...that way it's all new and exciting for him. We'll be birthing at a FSBC and my midwife does have toys there, but I figured a couple ones specifically for him to keep would be nice.
- E . Single mom to DS E (15.12.05), T (reincarnated 18.04.08) and DD A (11.02.11) and Hoppy
I also have my own list of things they can do - like help get me water, hold the cup for me, greet people who are coming (birth attendants and photographer) and show them where we are, help people find things in the house, etc. Granted, my boys are now 8.5, 6, and 3, so a lot of that is really for the older two.
I also have a new toy/project for them that I'll give them when labor begins. It's a cardboard, child-sized castle that they can decorate. I'm figuring that (along with their other toys) will keep them occupied for the less-interesting parts of labor. I'm happy for them to come and go as they please, and my mom will be here with them to help out.
Trying to think of other things... What about a t-shirt that says Big Brother? New toys/crayons/coloring books/movie/books about a new baby/etc. are all good. Maybe a disposable camera (or any camera you don't mind him using!) to take pictures at the birth?
Post back on how it goes!

Troll? Here's me...
We went out today and got a t-shirt (and I can do an iron-on that says something about the big brother), some batteries for our back-up camera which he loves to use, bendy straws (like the ones in my birth kit), some little toys (a couple duplo mini-sets, slinky, those shaped rubber band things that everyone has and he always wants to buy out of machines), crayola fun foam, gloves, four rainbow cups on clearance from the summer stuff, and some Larabars just for him.
I think I will also put the fishy net from the birth kit in his box. He was really thrilled when we got it a while back and was not at all turned-off when I told him what it was for. He just said, "After we use it for dipping up poop in the water can we wash it, and I can have it?"
I like the idea of including something that he can give me and/or the baby after the birth - maybe a t-shirt for the baby???, and our midwife and my son's birth companion will be sure to include him whenever he is interested and an opportunity arises.
Keep the ideas coming!
Thanks again, mamas.
"After we use it for dipping up poop in the water can we wash it, and I can have it?"
Oh man that just made my day
I've seen some really cute medical kits online with toy versions of a fetoscope and other "homebirthey" supplies... Maybe on etsy? I'll try to remember where I saw those.
I love the idea of a special shirt/hat/blankie/diaper for him to help dress the baby in once it's born.
I love the idea of "homebirthey" supplies from etsy... If you come up with links, please share!

I was also thinking to get a little mirror and some kind of travel-sized lotion or oil. He likes those kinds of things, and I have a mirror and various bottles/"potions" in the birth kit.
Ds also used a pen and paper at that birth to "take my order" for water/food etc. He was shown where the supplies were kept and put in charge of fetching them as needed. (hat, blankets, placenta bowl).
It was an awesome experience for our whole family to have them involved like that. We'll be doing it again in early January when ds 2 will be 2.5yo. I will have someone come to be there with him or leave with him if needed so that the other 2 can be involved as they wish. But there will be presents again!! My ds1 is now 8 and STILL treasures the Buzz Lightyear his sister brought him when she was born (even tho he 'knows' she didn't pick it out or anything).
My sister bought dd some "big sister" presents that she wrapped and mailed to us (it was NEW craft supplies). Dd had to wait until the baby was coming to open the present. It was the best idea! When she woke up at 5:30am to scary noises from me (moaning and such), she was still excited to open the presents and was able to keep herself occupied with them until my mom could get there to watch her (5 minutes). Then my mom was able to take her out of the house and keep her happily entertained with the new crafts during the moaning part of the birth (which dd did not like...I also found I couldn't labor well while I could hear her voice--popped me into "mom mode" instead of "labor mode"). We called them on speed dial for the last 10 minutes of pushing and they were able to come back in and watch. It was perfect for us since dd was scared by the noise and the blood and I was having a hard time laboring with her there. By the time I was pushing and baby was crowning, I didn't care WHO was in the room...nothing was holding me back, and it was short enough that dd didn't get scared Hope you find what works for you!
Mama to Nell (11/15/06) and Maggie (10/9/10) . AFTER 2.5 YEARS, I AM AN AUNTIE!!! HOORAY TEAR78 and welcome Anika and Brand New Baby Boy!!!! Circumcision: the more you know, the worse it is; please leave the decision up to your son!

Day 16 Oct 2 431 kms Wheatland WY to Sheridan WY
The weather was supposed to be cool this morning, so I put my jacket liner back in, put on an extra shirt, went outside to load the bike, and it was quite warm out. Sweet. I kept the gear on anyhow, and headed north. The old bike was running good, no missing, so the new plugs must have solved the problem.
About 10 miles out of town, I could feel a slight miss again. Crap! As I carried on, the miss got worse. I stopped to check the points and timing. It all seemed OK.
Hmmm . Works good when cold . Misses when warm .? Gotta be either a coil or condenser. I got a condenser with the points in Albuquerque, but I have heard of new ones being bad . I pulled into Douglas, WY, found an autoparts store, and asked if there was a place in town that sold Harley parts. Yep, Vinnis body shop is a bike shop as well.
I head over there, go in, explain that I would like a condenser, and I might need a coil if that doesnt work. Vinni hands over a condenser and new points, which were a better quality set than the ones I had, and he says he has a new coil . somewhere, and starts looking around the shop. He cant find it, so I tell him I will try the points and condenser, and if the bike is still have missing, I will try to find a coil in the next town.
I head out to install the parts, and after a bit, Vinni comes out, checks out my old bike, and we get to talking bikes. We talk as I work on the bike. He gives me a hand, and we talk bikes some more. I explain what its doing and he says Coil.
Coil! If it gets worse when the bike warms up, its probably the coil.
He goes back looking for a coil, cant find one, and says Ill ask my brother if I can borrow the one off his bike, and away he goes.
He comes back and says he found a used coil beside his brothers bike and I can have if it works. It tests OK, so I pull mine.Sure enough, there is a crack in it. I install his, and the bike fires right up. Sweet!
We talk bikes some more, look at his bikes and some of the projects he is working on. I wash up, ready to make a mile, and we talk some more. I am finally getting ready to go, and as Vinni is walking me to my bike, his friend Brian shows up, and we start talking bikes, and the Buell chopper he is building, and I check out the customised touring bike he is riding (Niiiice). About 2 and a half hours after I met Vinni, I am on the road, with a bike that is not missing anymore. (it took about half an hour to install the parts
Vinni pointing out cool stuff on one of his bikes.
His friends cherry Knucklehead
Vinni owns Vinnis Body Shop in Douglas Wyoming and does body work, custom bike work and repairs amongst other things. A great guy who does great work. If you are travelling through, look him up. If you are having problems he can help you out, and he is lots of fun to talk with.
By the time I am on the road, it is getting hot out. I have lots of clothes on still, and am really feeling the heat, even with the wind.
I ride through Casper, heading North towards Buffalo.
Sometimes I find myself delayed, not from meeting people, or not paying enough attention to the needs of an old motorcycle, but from not paying enough attention, period. While riding towards Buffalo, I pulled into the town of KayCee, WY. There was a sign saying no services for 35 miles, and although I had plenty of gas to make it, I thought I would top up anyhow. I pull into the gas station, a small, credit card only station with no store open. I put in my card, grab the nozzle, hit the button, no gas comes out. I am dicking around, push another button , the one far to the right near the nozzle, the most expensive one (I have been running premium) and start pumping. I fill the left tank, go to put the nozzle in the right tank, and get the feeling that something is wrong. You know when its not right, but you are not sure why. I stop, look at what I am doing .. why is there another nozzle on the same pump? Why is this nozzle green? Because its diesel, you stupid ass!!
I push the bike off to the side, walk over to the general store a little ways away for a container to drain the gas/diesel into. They have no containers, but have gallons of water for a dollar. (cheaper than buying a container) not knowing how much fuel I have in the tank, I buy a gallon of water, have a drink and dump the water on the ground. I fill the bottle, go back to the store, buy another gallon of water, have a drink, dump the water, fill the bottle, go back, buy another bottle, drink, dump, fill. The third bottle is half full and the tank is empty. I stash the bottles in a safe place, fill the bike with GAS, and hit the road.
I ride the 35 miles to Buffalo, have a bite to eat and ride to Sheridan for the night.
It was hotter the heck in Sheridan when I got here. Its supposed to cool off tomorrow and be downright cold in Montana for the next few days. Well see how THAT goes

Now Playing: Age of Wushu
GameSpot Asia's Randolph and Jonathan goes all kung-fu and Shaolin style in this martial arts-filled MMO.
by Rey Barros on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
Join the GameSpot staff as they play the biggest titles and show you the coolest aspects of video games in Now Playing.
Schedule: Wednesdays at 2pm PT
BTW, it's really important to figure out your skills if you want to play well. 8 schools are all different, for example, Tangmen is famous of sneak attack and critical stikes, Shaolin is famous for close combat, Emei protects herself(and her team) well, etc. But you can win PVP no matter what school you are in, if you know how to deal with other schools' skills(There'll be a LOT to talk about if I go into details). Also, flying skills(qinggong) plays an important part in PVP, it's not just a matter of escaping, but getting the chance to win.
This game has been running beta versions in China for several months and I've been playing it for already half a year. So I would say, if you judge it by playing or even watching for several minutes, you'll not see its fun. Doing tasks is not an important part of this game; after you finish the guidance(start the first chapter of story, join your school), you can almost forget "daily task"s(you'll get a little reward if you do tasks, though).
AoW focuses more on communications between players and PVP.Those who like to sell weapons, potions, etc. can also have their fun(most of these products are made by players, so if you are smart enough, you may earn quite a mount of money!). Several important activities are, spying, kidnapping, stealing skill books, school war...thus love and hatred are emerged and you'll have more communication with other players. This is the core of AoW, not what is shown in this video!
you have mail
LOL This video is not a real PVP fight! And those who judged the game just by watching this without playing actual game are just pathetic...
If you want to see REAL PVP fight between two experienced/advanced players just watch this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0wP-UBQFT8
Note: The guy is a Head Master of Wudang Sect and the girl is a Head Mistress of Emei Sect!
Wow all these negative comments without actually plaing the game? Well i have played it in beta - i have also played every other top title mmo from everquest one to guild wars 2 and this game is how a mmorg is supposed to be. It most definately not a typical asian grind fest or a boring quest fest - im afraid you need intelligence and patience to study different teqniques of kung fu in an open pvp world with consequences - so if you class your self as moderately intelligent and are fed up with the usual crap and long for a proper rpg experience as in swg but set in an historically authentic setting i suggest play this.There is so much more real content to this sandbox game than in any theme park mmo becuase its your own experiences and decisions that make the story.Now you may have your own opinions about the game, but you would be wrong - Im right ! end of.
Jade Empire 2, SORT IT OUT!!, NUFF SAID!!
this game suck big time!!! No point waste your time on it!
ahh shame, i had faith on this one being different, it looks lame
This is another copy of crappy Korean oriental MMORPG.
wow that looks dumb
Chea crap, with 2000 year graphics
Another asian martial arts mmo like thousands of others, people sick with these clone games, make otgher design and game can be more succesful, EPIC FAIL!
The article headline had me very excited until the "MMO" part. We need more true kung fu games. Not just fighters, RPGs.
the only thing i will say is the graphics are alright
Lack of voice acting, unconvincing animations, lame ultra worn out concept...
Star Wars The Old Republic, while still being far from a perfect game, started a new era in MMORPG evolution, proving revolutionary possibilities. Future games of the genre either accomplish at least that much, or perish. It's as simple as that.
walking is funny and graphics is busted and boring gameplay .
Another generic MMO , nothing new.
Might keep one entertained for about a month.
I'll stick with Jade Empire thanks :)
Honestly this is going to fail. The graphic is poor, the combat is boring, the gameplay does not have any difference compare to other MMO. Why they are expecting players will join this game without anything special?
Hm...battle thus far seems really dated and quite frankly boring, though I also know that the guy was just starting out. The enemies seen to do a lot of standing around though in battle. I want to like this game though, so I'll keep my eyes on it and hope it improves....
You know that you know, umm. You know umm, yeah you know? You know! Haha you know! Yeah you know, but obviously you know, right?
This pretty much sums up the video.
When I think of a level-less MMORPG, I think of a game that doesn't require progression to jump in the thick of things... but clearly, moving a level system from the main character to skills means there's still a progression system in place.
Hm, I dunno about the gameplay, but the music and atmosphere is pretty beautiful. I like Chinese landscapes and architecture.
not much skimpy outfits, this game is gonna fail.
Had it with all this MMOs, i want singleplayer sotry driven games !
How does this differ from 9Dragons?
"age of wushu"!!! prepare to WUSHU your laundry!!!!!
sounds ok but if i read "pay to win " in a single coment here im off
katana and visa are two words not missing well imo
@malcombexs123 I totally agree with you! My younger brother who's a 17 years old really got confused and annoyed when he found that this game is very very detailed and required intelligence to play. I even offered him a personal How to Play Age of Wushu classes....He did accept that, and made a lot of notes like a nerd. LOL. This game is really not for a dumb a*s. Even just trying to make a dish from cooking skill could be confusing. He was like, "how can I make tofu?", "which plant should i grow to make tofu?", "which insecticide should I use when grass shopper's eating my soy?" etc. XD And no need to mention about each skill moves of each skill sets in each situations, which it's very very detailed, that we HAVE TO completely understand them to make it work best in different situations with different opponents, skills or internal strengths. There're also meridian system, cultivation bonuses environment system, etc....LOL
People need to be smart, patience and open-minded to be able to play this game really.
@LikeReD then go back to your crappy westerns mmorpg
@Tetris_block69 the graphics arent even right. The game seems boreing, fights look dull
@paladinjedi I play pretty much every MMO and if you believe that then you really dont know MMOs.
SWTOR was a terrible game. Yes I maxed a character in SWTOR and quit because of the terrible glitchy combat mainly but the game was just bad overall. Really, it was a terrible WoW clone and the voice acting and dark/light side meant nothing so they could have left the voice acting out. I intentionally went thru the story answering every question wrong after a while and it would just guide you back to the path you wanted to take on rails. I cant believe Bioware actually released SWTOR with a straight face after spending $200 million in development. The funniest part about it was how they spent most of the budget of the voice acting, but then had 75-percent of the voice acting in alien gibberish galactic basic so you spaced barred thru it most of the time anyway. After 30-40 levels listening to npcs blather in the alien language it made me want to bang me face on the desk. And the iphone app space combat was icing on the cake. Seriously, if you think SWTOR was a good game your credibility is suspect to say the least.Games dont have to have awesome graphics or voice acting to be good. Yes it helps but most serious MMO players nowadays long for the days of DAoC and Shadowbane. None of the new high end games out can compare. Anyone that played those games know neither WoW nor GW2 or SWTOR nor Age of Conan nor Darkfall nor Vanguard or any other game has successfully duplicated what those games did. Actual real RvR policed by the players with player looting, PKing and keep seiges.
As far as MMOs I've played Age of WuShu has come the closest to that style of play of any game I've played since those days. So ya, it doesnt have the best graphics or voice acting but thats tertiary to gameplay. So, like I said if you are in the eyecandy/grinding is too much work/he killed me NERF!11! generation of MMO players this game isnt for you.
If you like open world pvp, rvr, keep sieges on a real pvp server you might enjoy this game horrible translations aside.
@paladinjedi ToR changed nothing, they added voice dubbing but other than that it's a terrible re-skin of wow (being generous). Bioware had an awesome opportunity to revolutionize MMO's by adding real time space combat, open world and open space exploration, real time action combat and such. Instead they played it safe with tech and made a feature of something you'd expect in any modern game. To add insult to injury, the implementation of voice acting in ToR is terrible, it feels detached from the rest of the experience in my opinion.
SW TOR had the money and the cast to back it up from EA Bioware. This is a free to play game, you do the math.
Yes SW TOR set the pole a lil higher, but there was nothig revolutionary about it, they only added voice over and complex mechanic of their own similar to other MMO. I don't think SW TOR should be a role model for anything other than a cash in, btw SW TOR is going free to play this month, because big surprice they need to rise their server population because people just quit. As for the future , there won't be anything new, mmo reached its limits some time ago and there just isn't anything new they can bring on the table, except virtual reality so saying the industry should man up to your standart and let everything else die is pretty much dooming an entire branch, not to mention that the East will never stop producing cheap mmo titles just because the West doesn't like them.
About the animations, i agree they are lumpy but as the person said this is first beta test ...
And about the concept I think the matrix online was even lamer than this, most concepts fit for am mmo are worn out of use these days like zombies, undead, dragons, rebels. Snow white is a concept older than anything, yet it got a movie title some time ago with new stars and it was very poor. The industry rellys on old content that is know to everyone and sure to be a proffit, because if it isn't the leader of the project gets the hot potato from the executive board.
@ED0511 graphics arent bad, the gameplay is a lot different than other mmos, its free 2 play. Its been out for over a year in China and hasnt failed yet. what are you whining about again?
@SOKOLEK realistic and video games are an oxymoron. Also, the game is based of classic Chinese marital arts films like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon with people flying and running on water etc. so its not going to be anymore 'realistic' than say a fantasy elves and orcs game is realistic. Its realistic as far as all the moves are actual real martial arts moves. It also has other features like alignments, stamina and nutrition. You actually have to rest, eat, work etc in the game.
@GolfBK @malcombexs123 I totally going through what your brother went through. Can say though, as complicated as they had made it, when as a fighter you can master your own skills like your own ten fingers, it's not overnight. I had to get myself a good pk buddy and train myself, lose to him a million times, before finally being able to put up a decent fight with him. Good fighters in this game don't spam skills/qinggong/potions. They use their self-taught reflexes and knowledge of their skills+skills of other schools they accumulate from combat with other players to build their competence.
@pozium fought in a 60 v 60 guild v guild fight yesterday but couldnt kill the school leader. was more fun than gw2 W v W
@oflow @paladinjedi No, no and no! SWTOR has not 75% alien language! Maybe it's true for the other 25%, which is normal in an alien populated universe, don't you think?
Voice acting and cinematics-driven story are actually the crucial aspect in any modern game that emphasizes STORY OVER COMBAT, which wants to be more than a gory hack'n slash feast, where you do have some feelings and emotional expression, some romances, coupled with touchy situations that add flavor and epicness to the story: games like, for example - Mass Effect.
SWTOR has it overall very good, although it could have been better, yes. But you really live through your story in SWTOR, it gets you involved in the game, it's not just another anime rushy click for the next mute placid generic npc to get your 1000-th stiff, grindingy quest going for another poor hundrend-and-something-th level... (which even so may be - probably - less boring than some people's real lives..........)
I was into 9Dragons if you remember that, the game had potential but it was a grind and people just gave up on it. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either, it was just interesting to play. So this one reminds me of it , lets see if it's as interesting as 9D
@Kunakai Exactly. After seven years and $200million people were expecting SWG 2.0 they got a lolWoWinspace.
@oflow @ED0511Graphics isn't really up to par to today's standard, and the gameplay from watching the video looks like a step backwards. I'm not sure about the other features, so can't really judge them, but considering that most people will spend a lot of time in the combat more than anything, this game doesn't leave a great first impression.
Also, being successful in China doesn't mean a thing here in America, just ask the Korean MMO's that are struggling to find an audience here compared to South Korea...
All this being said, I still want to like this game. Any game that tries to do something different other than the typical fantasy genre will get my attention at the very least. Good luck to this game, though I see a difficult struggle here in the West...
@dom28 Hey now, let's not jump ship with these American comments. You utterly lack any real contribution to all of this.
@The_Last_Paladi @oflow @ED0511 Well your right about one thing, a game being successful in any other country doesn't mean shit in America, seeing as the majority population of the US is dumbed down idiots and only play shooters and other crap titles over there. Fuck it's no wonder the US never gets any good games anymore period, they don't deserve it until they get out of that dumbed down state their in.
@The_Last_Paladi I dont know if it will struggle as much as you think. There are multiple guilds in the beta with over 100+ ppl online . It wont be another WoW but I'd wager it does better than say Secret World.
@The_Last_Paladi its a matter of opinion really. I think the graphics look ok. They arent the best but they arent bad either. I run the game on high and the graphics look good to me.
Watching vids and actually playing the game are different. Anyway, like I said most of the people playing the beta really enjoy the game which was a surprise to me. In most mmo betas you have a ton of ppl trolling chat talking about how much the game sucks but in AoW you actually see ppl saying they love the game so you have to take that for what its worth.
Also, the combat is actually more complex that what it looks like in the video. Alot of the combat has to do with timing blocks to charge rage to use abilities. Believe me its a lot more fun than it looks IMHO. In this vid he didnt fight any other real players.
Like I said if you liked DAoC you will love this game.
@s_h_a_d_o hahaha its a typo grow up.

Hey Darrick! Nice to meet you. :^) Welcome to the group.
(You missed a great talk from some KDE developers at tonight's meeting,
assuming you weren't one of the folks who came in late, that is...)
And yeah, I had actually been waiting for the new version of KDE (3.1) to
be released, as it had a much-improved 'kiosk framework.'
(Half of the answers I got to "How do I do this?" was "It does it in 3.1" :^) )
After that, I got busy/distracted, and most recently, laid off from my job
(and hence searching for work and brushing up on some other skills).

Well, Galeon might be a better decision than Mozilla, especially if you're
considering Mozilla.
Galeon is based on Mozilla's rendering engine ("Gecko," I believe it's called),
and was meant from the start to be much lighter and less bloated than
I used it for a month or two where I worked (Debian Woody running Gnome)
until I got laid off. I recently installed it on my box here at home
(Debian Woody running KDE 2.2), as a supplement for when Konqueror has
(What I REALLY need to do is upgrade to 3.1.)
> So, what kind of browser were you going to use and how did you plan to lock it
> down?
As I mentioned, KDE has a 'kiosk framework' (which you can learn about
over at the KDE website... somewhere or other), which lets you do things
like say "Get rid of the 'Print' button", "Don't let the user configure XYZ",
"Don't show any icons on the desktop", and "Don't let the user save the HTML
file to the disk."
> Also, what kind of deviations from the Howto were you looking at.
Again, I'm not too (if at all) familiar with the howto you mentioned.
The one by JWZ was from when he set up kiosks at the DNA Lounge in San Fran.,
and I think was from about 4 years ago! I decided immediately to move on
to the next idea. ;^)
> I'm using Slackware with blackbox. Is it worth my time to hack Mozilla for
> use as a public browser?
It can be done, apparently. That was what first came to mind, honestly.
The problem I had was with how the 'kioskification' was done, and, especially,
what the example version looked like. (BUTT UGLY!)

Well, I'm hoping that once I get the Debian + KDE 3.1 system up and
running, I'll be able to duplicate it easily. (I've kept comprehensive
notes the whole time.)
I want to say "I'd love to help out!", but then I realize "oh wait, I've
been too busy to do my OWN part in this lately!"
(Hopefully that'll change soon.)
Take care, and welcome to the group!

A combination of power and ruggedness, Big Blue's XL-Quattro Xtreme LED dive light delivers an 8° concentrated hot spot and 55° periphery with exceptional light intensity inside a hard-anodized shell which is super-resistant to scratches and impact for increased durability. Hard anodized aluminum alloy allows for this light to withstand the most rugged of diving situations. The 6500K white light reflects the true vibrant colors of the surrounding while diving. This light runs on 8AA alkaline batteries - offering great flexibility and ease of use, while eliminating the need for a cord and canister rechargeable system.

A giant leap forward in the restoration of the Melscheimer One-room Schoolhouse happened Thursday, Nov. 29. The newly constructed cupola housing a restored school bell replica was placed on the roof of the schoolhouse.
What happened to the original school bell has never been determined, but a replica of the bell had been stored in the sawmill shed at the late Francis Young's property for a number of years. His widow, Mary Young, made the decision to donate the bell to the Melscheimer restoration project. The bell was sandblasted, restored, and painted.
Having no formal plans but relying solely on information gleaned from a picture of the schoolhouse, dated 1918, Jason Adolph, of Adolph Construction in East Sparta, constructed a cupola to house the school bell. Working with him on the project were Pike Township Road Supervisor Mark Pahanish, as well as Mehl Young and Ray Young, Francis and Mary's two sons.
With the expert assistance of a crane operated by Mike Handy, of Handy Equipment in Magnolia, the use of a lift by Coon Sealants of Louisville, and the guidance of the "ground crew," the cupola housing the school bell was guided to its new home atop the school.
The chilly air of the early morning was warmed by enthusiasm and excitement as the school bell housed in the magnificently constructed cupola was placed atop the schoolhouse. It was a perfect fit.
A rope to ring the bell had been thoughtfully installed by the construction crew, and Mary Young, who was present to witness the installation and who taught at Melscheimer School in 1938 and 1939, was invited to ring the bell. She willingly complied. The tone was perfect and "sounded just as I remember it," said Mary.
The Schoolhouse Restoration Committee voiced deepl appreciation for this generous donation by the Young family.
Adolph Construction is continuing with placement of the new metal roof on the schoolhouse. The progress of the project can be easily viewed when driving by the schoolhouse, at 1077 Melscheimer Street.
The ultimate goal is to provide a more convenient site for funeral services held at the adjacent historic Melscheimer Cemetery, when the weather is inclement or at the request of the deceased's family members.
Memorabilia of the school will also be included in the restoration.

In the still shadows of the confessional, a madman tauntingly reveals his plan for a murder he is going to commit, pulling Father Thomas Madden into a twisted game by disclosing his next intended victim: Tom's sister, Laurant. In a frantic race to protect her, Tom calls upon his best friend, elite FBI agent Nick Buchanan, to track the predator who is closing in on Laurant. Now, as an electrifying attraction grows between Laurant and Nick, so does the danger - and one false move will cost both of them everything that matters.
©2012 Julie Garwood (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Heartbreaker moves along at a racehorse pace, its plot swerving and darting with sudden turns and jolts.... Garwood's characters are well drawn." (New York Post)
"Good story, terrible narrator"
The story is great, I love Julie Garwood. But this narrator is horrible! Her cadence is extremely annoying. Literally had to force myself to continue listening because I wanted to find out what happened but I hated the narrator so badly. Will make a point to never buy another audiobook she does.
Totally addicted to Audible.
"Fun and Funny"
Some of the most delightful characters are found in this book. I want more of them. The narration is wonderful. The story about Lois nearly tickled me silly.
"You might want to read this book"
I might add a little more suspense - it didn't keep me on the edge of my seat.
Very annoying. The narrator had the same dragged out inflection on the last word of every other sentence (almost).
Already part of a series.
I love to read. On average I read and/or listen to more than 100 books a year. Audible has been a fantastic addition to my life. Love it!
"Great story awful narrator"
I've read this book before but never listened to it. I still love the story but the narrator was terrible. Her accents are laughably bad. As the main character has a French accent by the end I was ready to pull my hair out listening to the narrator butcher it. Unfortunate because the story is otherwise worth a listen.
"Narrator Tanya Eby was bad."
And the story was not good. I wanted it to be over.
Tanya Eby said S's in a way that detracted from the story, and some of her T's and TH's were odd. Throughout the book I was on edge listening for each time she would say these sounds. She also used a bad voice for Nick (hero). He sounded dorky and constipated. She had a weird accent for Laurant (heroine). I don't know what that was. She said "dunt" or "douynt" instead of "don't." She said "mehbehh" instead of "maybe."
It felt uninspired and formulaic. No chemistry between the couple. I didn't see how they grew to like each other. All of a sudden she tells him she loves him and asks him to kiss her.
This is book 1 in the series. I did not like books 1 and 10. But I really liked books 2 and 3 "Mercy" and "Killjoy." I suggest reading Mercy before Killjoy.
Genre: romantic suspense
Hello, my name is Teresa and I'm an addict.
"FBI to the rescue."
I am huge fan of Julie Garwood's older books and I like her newer stuff, just not as much as I enjoyed her Highlander or Regency books. This book is good but I wouldn't say great. I didn't connect with the characters as well as I would have liked. I have a hard time when the main characters are lacking any flaws. One thing that annoyed me is that we never hear the stories being told about Nick and Tommy only that there are stories and that they were funny. Maybe she was going for heartwarming and not funny because I didn't laugh. Narrator was okay, the recording had a few instances where the sound would drop, it usually only last a couple of seconds.
I read so I can write
"Not Garwood's Best"
The book itself is not Garwood's best. There is a lot of editorial issues For example one character refers to a pair of sheets instead of a set of sheets. There are a lot of other such problems. Beyond that, there is way too much unnecessary narration that doesn't add to or carry the story.
This makes for a mediocre story way less than the quality expected from Ms. Garwood.
Add to that a horrible performance of the narration. The heroine starts out having a little accent that is even referred to in the narration, but very quickly the accent goes away and never comes back. For the rest of the book her voice is simply Miss Bedroom voice.
The male voices are horrid. Nothing else can be said about them.
The narration pulls the already mediocre story into the 2 star rating.
"Was pleasantly surprised."
I was terrified the narration would ruin this one, as I said I was pleasantly surprised. This ranks one my favorites of Garwood books. Eby did a good job with it, but Nick sounded...off. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good. It was minor problem which I quickly got over because I was sucked into the book.
Even though I have read this book a million times, Eby did a good job and, of course Garwood writes a hell of a story.
"Great book!"
Love her performances. Have listened to others. She is a five star reader.
This is a great series by Garwood. When are the rest coming out?!
"Great story!!!!!"
I like the narrator when she does her women voices the men not so much, love Garwood and her stories this one as well as Mercy have a bite the story is suspenseful enough that keeps it interesting, yes I would recommend this to other people, I can even see this made into a movie.

Discussion in 'The Beautiful Game' started by Fox33, Jan 22, 2008.
Hi, I'm a bit confused as to reading these table letters, what exactly do they stand for?
Played, won, drawn, lost, goals for, goals against, goal difference (goals scored minus goals conceded), points total.
In this case, won, drawn, lost, goals for and goals against are divided into home and away matches.
All that really matters is the number at the end, points. Teams are placed in order of points. Highest at the end of the season is the winner. If teams are level on points they are placed higher or lower depending on the difference between their goals scored and goals conceded. Basically, most numbers are trivial besides the last one.
Small correction: Points and matches played is all that really matters.
Separate names with a comma.

Welcome everyone to my website
Where I will be introducing my personality to my audience, who take the time out of their lives to watch my uploads. I made this website so I can feel one step closer to you all and build a relationship with each and everyone of you. As some of you might know, my real name is Marvin, and i have been uploading on YouTube for almost five years and love every second of it. I am a father of three and enjoy life.
Why Is your YouTube Name Yogaflame24 ?
When Street Fighter 4 was released ( Xbox ) My main character was Guile. however I was really bad with him, in fact I was bad with every character untill I picked up Dhalsim and I would spam yoga fire and at the time when I was uploading on YouTube I was 24. So hence Yogaflame24.
When Did You Start Uploading ?
I first started uploading at around August 6th 2009 I began first by uploading my Dhalsim matches which at the time people enjoyed watching as it was new and different.
What Capture Equipment Do You Use ?
I use a Hauppauge PVR 2 ( Latest Version ) which allows you to record in high definition from PS3, Xbox360 onto your windows Laptop or desktop PC in H.264 format
Why Do You Upload Top Japanese, American And European Players ?
I took inspiration from Lord Aborigine ( Brazil ) ssjfry14 ( United Kingdon ) Shin Akuma ( USA ) and also FrameAdvantageDotCom ( USA ) first I was making montages for fun and uploading them and people enjoyed watching them. with the realese of SSF4 which had a replay system I began collecting replays of good players and making montages of them ( Magic Series ) After finishing Wolfkrone ( One of the best viper players in USA ) i thought to myself that I wanted to upload top players as I enjoyed watching them.
What Do You Do Other Then Uploading Videos ?
I look after sick children and vulnerable adults, away from work I spend most my time with my family and often go to the gym and on the odd ocassion go to the cinema. like anybody else I have a good unit of close friends that I always hang with or talk to on the phone. I would think of myself as a religious person and try and treat people with respect if they deserve it I dislike people that think there better then other people or look down on someone as they may not be on there status.

Dining in Miami is an Experience You Won't Want to Miss
In Miami, dining is all about the experience. From the traditional Cuban restaurants of Calle 8 to the elite steakhouses of downtown Miami and the international fusion cuisine on South Beach, visitors to the city will find an abundance of culinary delights.
Lunch is the perfect time to explore the large variety of outdoor dining options. We recommend you take advantage of the great South Florida weather to enjoy the cafes and restaurants of Coconut Grove, Coral Gables and Miami Beach. Better yet, combine that with a little shopping or site seeing for the perfect day around town.
From the casual local favorites to the fine dining restaurants headed by internationally renowned chefs, dinner in Miami will not disappoint. From seafood to soul food, from Cuban to Thai, local chefs are serving up something for every taste.

The World's Greatest Mime Marcel Marceau to Re-visit HK
Marcel Marceau is undoubtedly the greatest mime of our times. With his exquisitely detailed, smooth and layered performances, he easily captures the hearts of audience all over the globe and remains a truly universal marvel. He is sprightly, energetic and charming as ever even though he is at 80.
After his last visit four years ago, the world' greatest mime now returns to Hong Kong for two not-to-be missed performances. Don't miss the chance to meet such a brilliant artist at 8pm, April 21 and 22 (Monday and Tuesday) at the Concert Hall of the Hong Kong City Hall.
In an engrossing two-hour show, Marceau will divide the programme into "Pantomimes of Style", which tells concise little stories while displaying his superb mime technique, and "Pantomimes of Bip", which explores the misadventures of Bip. Words can hardly describe Marceau's exhilarating show and his charm is beyond words. An evening with the French master is a theatrical experience beyond compare - a must!
Born in Strasbourg, France, Marcel Marceau enrolled in Charles Dullin's School of Dramatic Art in the Sarah Bernhardt Theater in Paris in 1944, where he studied with the mime master Etienne Decroux. In 1947, he created "Bip", who has become his alter-ego, like Chaplin's "Little Tramp". In 1948, Marceau received the renowned Deburau Prize. The following year, he formed his Compagnie de Mime Marcel Marceau - the only company of pantomime in the world at that time. The ensemble played the leading theatres in Paris, as well as other playhouses throughout the world. He has toured the world extensively over the past five decades and has been enchanting audiences around the world for years, including five trips to Hong Kong between 1983 and 1999.
Marceau's art has become familiar to millions of people worldwide through his many television appearances. He received two Emmy Awards for his television shows. He has demonstrated his versatility in motion pictures. Numerous honors have been bestowed upon Marceau, including the highest honors conferred by the French Government: Officier de la Legion d'Honneur, Commandeur des Arts et Lettres, and Grand Officier de l'Ordre National du Merite. He accepted the honor and responsibilities of serving as Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Second World Assembly on Ageing in April 2002.
Presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, Pantomime Performance by Marcel Marceau is the opening performance and one of the major attractions of "Le French May". Tickets priced at $300, $250, $200 and $100 are now available at all URBTIX outlets. Half-price concessions will be granted to senior citizens, people with disabilities, full-time students and Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) recipients (Discounted tickets for students and CSSA recipients available on a first-come, first-served basis). There will also be a 10% discount for every purchase of 4 to 9 tickets, 15% for 10 to 19 tickets and 20% for 20 tickets or more.
Programme enquiries can be made on 2268 7323. Ticketing enquiries and reservation can be made on 2734 9009, credit card telephone booking on 2111 5999 while Internet booking at www.urbtix.gov.hk. To search more information on internet, please visit www.lcsd.gov.hk/cp

President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of Somalia today (March 27th) gave a presentation of his government's plans to the Arab League Summit in Doha, including the government's aims of extending public facilities and government structures to all regions of Somalia as soon as possible and of its support for peace and unity for the whole of Somalia.
The two day Summit (March 26th-27th) was preceded by a Foreign Minister's meeting at the weekend. The Summit was opened by the Emir of Qatar, Emir Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani who opened the conference by inviting the opposition Syrian National Coalition to take Syria's seat at the Summit. In his opening speech the Emir touched on the fighting in Syria, the Afghan government peace talks with the Taliban, Palestine and said it was the duty of the Arab countries to lend a helping hand to the new government of Somalia.
The Emir said that he was aware of the great change in Somalia and his government would give them full support. He asked other Arab countries to help their Somalia brothers and offer them a helping hand. President Mohamud has had a number of bilateral meetings with Arab leaders to brief them on the government's aims and activities and its efforts to achieve peace, equality and justice in the country.

always figure that with a good algorithm you can just wait 18 or 36 months and the computers will be fast enough so you can use your algorithm then.
Gintaris Reklaitis: From the perspective of combinatorial problems arising in supply-chain management and scheduling, doubling of computer time every 18 months will not suffice. These are problems for which computational effort grows exponentially with problem size, at least in the worst case. For the kinds of increasingly larger applications that people want to solve in these domains, waiting for the hardware to become faster is not the solution. The improvements must be found through algorithm research.
David Smith: I do not know. I used to have a group that did supply chain optimization, and in the reorganization that group went elsewhere. I would say that for a lot of very good sized, really significant supply chain problems that we were tackling, we were getting solutions in a couple of hours. The problem that we ran into was that, for reasons I could not understand, the people who wanted the answers were upset because they had to wait 2 hours for them; they did not realize that the business time scale that were dealing with probably involved days or weeks. These guys are used to running Excel spreadsheets in minutes, and the fact that they had posed a problem to the computer and had to wait for 2 hours for an answer was a very difficult cultural thing for them to deal with.
In general, business people are not trained in optimization, and they are usually very defensive when we bring those kinds of solutions to them. So it is really an educational problem that we have internally.
Judith Hempel: Are they senior staff of long standing?
David Smith: No. Neither were the people who were solving those problems for me. The young people in support positions in DuPont supplying that kind of information to business managers do not have the right kind of training and background to solve those problems. Solving the problem for them turns out to be an iterative process because they do not really understand how much information they have to give us so we can give them a good solution to their business problem.

The Beginning of "Friends"
Written by elaney, Posted in television
At the end of our favorite show, the cast and creators of Friends did a series of interviews about the concept for the series. Here are a few comments from their conversation:
Matt Lauer: "The story goes that you became a little nostalgic and you start to think about what it was like to get out of college and be in New York, and some light bulb went on."
Marta Kauffman: "We were looking at a time when the future was more of a question mark. Maybe because that's what we were feeling at the moment, but looking at that question mark and going: that's interesting. Everybody knows that feeling."
Lauer: "Let me read you from the original treatment, the pitch, OK? "It's about love, relationships, careers, a time in your life when everything's possible. And it's about friendship because when you're single and in the city, your friends are your family."

text: The Myst IV: Revelation wiki last edited by tahtalf on 03/18/14 12:16AM View full history StoryAtrus' abode, TomahnaAtrus contacts you again, hoping to get your opinion on a personal matter. His sons, Sirrus and Achenar, are still trapped from Myst. He and his wife, Catherine, aren't sure if they should release them now or not. They need a third party to decide, so they choose you.While reviewing the two ages the sons are stuck in, the power goes out and a vital piece of equipment breaks, so Atrus travels to Rime to get some parts, and tells you to keep an eye on Yeesha, his daughter.Some time later, after you restore power, the bridge you're on collapses and you are knocked unconcious. When you come to, it's dark, and Yeesha is nowhere to be found. Now, it's your duty to find Yeesha. But beware; there are far more sinister things going on in the background...GameplayOne of the more difficult puzzles...Like the other entries in the Myst series, gameplay is very puzzle-based. You wander around the enviornment, discovering more of the story and finding clues, which are key to figuring out the many devices in the ages.LocationsOver the course of the game, you travel through many different places, including;Tomahna: The home of Atrus and his family, Tomahna is where you explore during the very beginning of the game. It also acts as a hub, connecting you to the other ages.Spire: The age where Sirrus is (or was) imprisoned in, Spire is a dark, gigantic mountain. It features special crystals that have some sort of floating ability (something that is expanded on in the puzzles).Haven: Achenar's personal prison in the game, Haven is almost the complete opposite of Spire. Jungle life thrives throughout (also featured heavily in the puzzles)Serenia: The final age, Serenia is the home of a tribe that Yeesha and her family visit often. Here, the focus is on using what you've learned about Sirrus and Achenar from their respective prison ages, and deciding whether either one or both are evil.SoundtrackMyst IV: Revelation - The Soundtrack (Jack Wall)No.Track TitleLength (65:09)1."Main Theme"4:292."Yeesha's Joyride"1:033."Enter Tomahna"6:374."Darkness"2:595."Achenar's Prelude"0:136."Jungle Landing"3:407."The Swamp"2:258."The Predator"3:599."Lakeside"2:3610."Achenar Meeting"1:5311."Welcome"3:0012."Enter Spire"3:3013."Prison Level"4:5614."Sirrus Defends / Sirrus' Rage"2:3115."Nearest Island"2:5216."Leaving Spire"1:0017."Enter Serenia"3:1118."The Monastery"2:1219."Dream"0:5920."Hall of Spirits"2:3221."The Serenians"2:0422."The Revelation / The Sacrifice"2:2423."End Game"2:0724."Atrus' Speech"1:45

Group Review
Probably not, but I am pleased to report that I had one person (besides me) show up to the group for our very first meeting. He is new to genealogy and presented an interesting challenge. In addition to giving him what turned out to be a Genealogy 101 lesson, I made sure to give him my email address, just in case he needed/wanted more assistance.
And he offered me something in return:
He's the morning DJ for AFN (Armed Forces Network) radio here in Korea.
Thank you, Smitty. I look forward to hearing a shout-out for the Genealogical Discussion Group on Monday morning between 8:15 and 8:45 a.m. Your offer of publicity rocks.
3 comments:
Wendy, that is a start. And you're lucky he is a DJ. Next time there will be coming in droves. I left a comment at your previous post. Hey, it got you away from the computer (I think).ReplyDelete
Heh heh. Thank you Barbara! Yes, his offer to make sure the group is publicized is much appreciated.ReplyDelete
Since the group was just the two of us, I'm going to keep the same informal "agenda" for the next meeting - getting to know each other and sharing research interests. I like having the basic outline, yet also the idea that it will be flexible overall.
My fingers are crossed for the April 3 meeting!
I started a Girl Scout Interest Group for genealogy several years ago. At the first meeting one girl came with her mom. The next week I had six girls, and each brought a female relative (a mom, a grandma, an aunt, etc.) The third week we had a room full! Good luck! It may grow exponentially, just like a genealogy chart!ReplyDelete

Do girls like heavy body builders or slim guys with cuts?
girls only
Most Helpful Opinion
It really doesn't matter to me. I tend to avoid the guys who are massive from lifting because it's really a turnoff. I prefer a guy who has a neck and can put his arms down at his sides. I am not in anyway disrespecting body builders, because I know many of them are passionate and very hard working at their sport. It just is a matter of preference for me.
If the guy lifts and is cut then that is ultra HOT! It shows me that he has an interest in his health and takes care of himself. This is a big turn on for me.
What Girls Said 28
I always prefer slim guys. I don't like guys who are huge and have veins popping out. Regular guys and skinny guys are the most attractive to me. Slim with cuts, all the way!
- Show Older Hide Older
ah this was so long ago, I like guys who have "lean muscle" (like andre 3000 from outkast) and I like skinny as well ( like jay burchel) I also like average and slightly chubby is O.K. body builders and guys who are really overwieght are not my type. The biggest I would go in terms of muscles is the wresteler "The Rock".
why do guys like to lick the clit?
You always have a good come-back audreymarie. Good for you. From what I have seen and what I hear, they don't do it much, and even if they did, they don't know how to do it. Prior wife and girlfriends tell me that. My girlfriend saw this video on lobstertube.com. and said that everyguy should see it. It is an amateur, video obviously and none of the junk I have seen has been "real" prior. http://www.xvideos.com/video265104/best_homemade_cunnilingus_ever
Comment if you care to.
Well, unfortunately, the damn website did not post as a "Link" and not certain why. Anyway, the video is short, 4 minutes, and it probably illustrates what most/many/all ? of the guys on this site or just about anywhere DON'T KNOW, about the subject......Concentration, continuity, etc.
^^^this girl has some spunk....she's probably an animal in bed.
I prefer neither... I'm definitely all abt tall and lanky = )
what about muscle muscle mass, do you like alot, a little, professional body builder status, hardly any
- Show Older Hide Older
which 1 do you prefer?
does lanky mean anything to you by itself
well, depends on what you call a heavy body builder, I like guys with some muscle on them, the ones that work out a bit. But I also think skinny guys can be realy cute. The ideal body I think, would be a swimmers body for me; they are not to muscely and not to skinny. But I don't worry about body type to much. but if given the choice between body builder and slim guy, I sould choose slim guy.
i don't like the HUGE body builders or guys that are slim with cuts... I like them strong and muscly but not too strong and muscly and I like them to be in good shape and skinny with nice abs
that comment comment was wicking confusing to me but as some one with abs is nice hear they count for something. I'm curious what do you consider nice like what about a lot of muscle but only 4-pack and not super defined or does it have to look like something off a bod commercial
ok well I'm like always horny and so I'm always wanting sex... so like I'm happy with a lot of quickies for the day then there are sometimes I just want passionate sex normally lasting any where from 30mins to an hr... but I find when I'm drunk I want sex more than ever so like I find my self and the guy going longer than usual. but like I said I'm always horny so it just depends on the type of girl really
30 minutes is good but there has to be a lot of excitement, I mean like uninhibited passion, just being so into it that we wouldn't notice the phone ringing or anything. A woman wants to feel totally consumed by her man, like she is the most miraculous, beautiful desirable woman in the world to them. Not saying long sessions aren't good, those have their place also but on average 30 to 45 minutes if it is intense.
I could give him a handjob between my thumb and forefinger, and it was kind of short. But I never came harder with anyone else because this guy was incredible, an absolute genius, at giving oral sex. He wasn't a very good looking guy but he was very passionate and relaxed in bed. It was also easy to give him head. I liked doing it whereas guys with really big d***s aren't as enjoyable to me.
So if you're worried about the size of your cock, the worst thing you can do is worry. the biggest turn off in bed is a guy trying too hard to seem confident when he's actually nervous. If you're nervous, just say so, she'll take it as a compliment. Keep a sense of humor in bed. And don't keep talking about the size of your cock, or keep asking if she thinks its small.
It really doesn't matter. Unfortunately things didn't work out between me and that guy, but I really really miss the sex. He was a very smart lover.
Ok but I heard girl like big and thick...
I have never had sex, but I thought guys cannot actually last that long. I mean do you mean when you guys are actually naked and in a position for entry, or just from the start of foreplay?
If this is not true, and they can last a while then what's the excuse for going so quick?
I imagine I would prefer it not to be really fast and furious. I don't know never had sex, but I like to get into whatever I am doing in general. It would be a bit annoying to jump in and out of something that is potentially intense... On the other hand, might get sore, right?
Lets say... Long enough so that I know that we were both having sex together.

Quilting: Bloggers Quilt Festival
I just heard of the First Annual Blogger's Quilt Festival yesterday and my first thought was "why didn't I think of that?!" What a great idea, bringing quilting bloggers together by sharing photos of our quilts.
The idea is to post photos of your favorite quilt that you've made and tell it's story. Excellent idea, huh!
My Magical Lens, designed, pieced and quilted by Jennifer Ofenstein
My all time favorite quilt that I have made, absolutely hands-down, is my Harry Potter quilt. I embarked on this project in early 2006. My family had long been fans (we started reading Harry in 1999) and I'd been quilting for a few years. After discovering what so many HP crafters now know, that licensed fabric is out of print and nigh on impossible to find (and expensive if you do!), I decided to try to design my own.
The very first HP block I designed was Hedwig, though not the one that ended up in the quilt (you can see it in the photo below…bleargh!). It was pretty dreadful, too complicated and just bad, bad, bad. I'd only ever designed simple blocks before, so I changed gears and started with a broom and a lightning bolt. The stack of blocks began to grow. All through the process, I was sharing on the Harry Potter Crafts Yahoo! Group. Members started asking if I'd share my patterns, and before long, my little craft site, then called Jen's Crochet & Crafts, grew into sewhooked, full of all kinds of crafts, crochet, and now paper pieced patterns.
I went to Lumos in Las Vegas in 2006 and took my HP blocks with me to share with my online craft friends. By this time I was a Moderator at Harry Potter Crafts. Sharing my designs and other projects I'd made with them for myself and friends, on top of the fact that I knew HTML, led to a year and a half as a Crafty Witch at The Leaky Cauldron where I made truly amazing friends. The quilt that wasn't a quilt yet was already helping me to connect with people.
In the fall of 2006, I decided to attend Phoenix Rising in New Orleans which, like Lumos, was a Harry Potter fandom conference, and was scheduled to take place in May 2007. Even though my quilt wasn't even close to done, nor was I close to having enough blocks designed for a whole quilt, I entered a mock-up for consideration in the Phoenix Rising art gallery, and was, to my surprise, accepted. With a deadline looming, I started churning out patterns and blocks, finishing up the quilt in March of 2007, just two months before it was to be shown in New Orleans.
This quilt is more just a million bits of fabric stitched together. It represents all the years I've loved Harry Potter and some of my favorite things about the series. It has brought me friends, and fans, and brought more quilters that I can count into the wonderful world of paper piecing. In the fall of 2007, I started hp_paperpiecing on Livejournal as way to share more with other Harry Potter quilters than just patterns. I've posted over 100 unique HP themed blocks there and have in the process met a lot of awesome quilters and designers, many brand new to paper piecing.
The mock-up submitted for submission into the Phoenix Rising art gallery (complete with horrible Hedwig).
I don't design as many HP blocks as I used to, though I'm still very involved with hp_paperpiecing.
Harry Potter patterns at sewhooked, free for personal and non-profit use.
See loads more photos of the making of My Magical Lens over at flickr.
If you make any pattern or craft from sewhooked, I'd love to see a photo. Email me or add it to the Friends of sewhooked flickr group.
Happy crafting

Your quilt is fabulous. I have admired your HP blocks for awhile now but have not ventured to make any just yet. I enjoyed reading about how your quilt developed.

Big bathtub planters outside, froufrou English collectibles inside, and it's dog friendly: The Chattaway in the Old Southeast neighborhood is a quirky bird with legion followers who have the bumper stickers to prove it. The central draw is the burger, a big dry cleaner's nightmare, but Chattaway is also cherished for its historic, ramshackle glory (it started as a general store with a gas pump back in the early 1920s). What you need to know: Cash only and there's a special every day: Monday Cubans, Tuesday catfish, Wednesday Sloppy Joe's, Thursday spaghetti and meat sauce and Friday Juanita's Choice (which, mysterious, seems to be stuck on shrimp salad or tuna salad).
