Dear Backyard Love:
I have been separated from my husband since July. I recently started going out and I have been very disappointed by the men that I have been meeting. I make sure that I ask the question: Are you married or seriously involved with someone? Every single man, except one, answered yes! But they still want your phone number saying that should not stop us from becoming friends. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE MEN? My question is this, do men view commitment differently than women? Also, where do you go to meet nice men?
Dear Backyard Love:
My boyfriend and I have been dating quite a while now. We have hot sex and are very experimental. One thing I have grown extremely fond of is when he sticks his finger in me from behind. Nothing can make me come quicker. After a lot of discussion and several failed attempts, we are coming to you to ask advice on how we can engage in anal sex. He has tried to slide it in from behind, from the front, from the side, about any way you could imagine. Unfortunately, it has always hurt me so much that I want to cry. He doesn't want to try anymore because he doesn't want to hurt me, but I REALLY WANT IT!!! I know I would love it if we could get it right. Since neither of us have anyone to ask, we want your advice. How do most couples have anal sex? Does it always hurt so much? Should we try using a lubricant? We are eagerly awaiting your response.
Dear Backyard Love:
Four months ago I got into a relationship with a man I thought really cared for me. He was every thing I could have dreamed of - minister in church and a loyal, loving, caring, respectful type of guy. Then a month ago, he changed into this person I did not even know was there. He started to use a lot of curse words and became very abusive towards me and my daughter. He also began to see other women and would try to hide the fact from me. He did not want me at his apartment or to ride in his car. I am trying to find out what I did wrong. I was very sweet to this man. I am a very beautiful woman with morals. Recently we broke up and he wants to be friends and still have sex with me but without the commitment. Am I that bad of a woman that the only thing I am good for is sex?
Did Louis C.K. jerk off in front of two female comics? And why are these ladies squandering an opportunity to learn from a comedy legend?
Elliot said my breakup must have been due to the sweater curse, an unexplained phenomenon where anyone who gives their significant other a hand-knit sweater gets dumped. The only way to break the curse, Elliot said, was to destroy the sweater.

Great Simple Modern Fan. Quiet, etc.
By J in Philly

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer

Comments about Hunter 21585, Sonic Brushed Nickel 52:
Installed in master bedroom, approximately 16' x 14'. Fits well and circulates air in this larger bedroom. Quiet even on highest speed, which is fast!! Most modern ceiling fans I've found don't give off much light, this one gives off more than average, although I also have recessed lighting in the room. Design is simple, yet attractive. I've had many hunter fans and have always been happy with the quality of them. Would definitely buy again. Only suggestion, make sure you know what size fan would be best for the room you are installing it in. Too big (or too small) tends to look strange in my opinion. Hope this helps
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

On Saturday, Galveston surf-junk-garage trio the Escatones release a new seven-inch, "Out of Sight/East Beach Stomp," a teaser for fans while the group continues readying a full-length studio album for later this year. This offering is especially interesting because the Escatones were joined in the studio by Paul Leary of the Butthole Surfers, who contributed lead guitar to "Out of Sight." We'll have to see if Leary himself shows up at Rudz to sit in, but the Escatones will be joined by ubiquitous giggers Poor Pilate and the metallic cavemen of Linus Pauling Quartet.

There are lots of amazing benefits associated with practicing mindfulness.
- It's a healthy way of helping people learn how to manage their emotions
- Gives you the opportunity to change your habitual reactions, by teaching you the importance of giving some thought to your actions first instead of reacting automatically.
- Reduced depression
- Lower stress levels
- Better communication skills
- Enhanced memory
- Relief from chronic pain
- Stronger immune system
For you to experience the health benefits of mindfulness therapy more quickly, make sure to practice it regularly. It can be a good idea to find a mindfulness coach, or join a meditation training program to guide you with your practice.
Is There a Right or Wrong Way of Practicing Meditation?
A lot of meditation experts agree that there isn't any wrong or correct way to meditate. It's natural to question why there's no such thing as an incorrect or correct way to meditate.
To start with, it is necessary to realize that mindfulness meditation involves discovering your own ability to enter into a state of deep relaxation. There isn't a single type of meditation that works the same for different people.
One of the best ways to help you find the most effective strategy for you is to find out about the various ways to practice meditation. It's suggested for beginners to enlist in a structured mindfulness course. It's valuable to browse online for mindfulness courses available in areas close by. If you would prefer to learn about mindfulness in your home, you can search for online mindfulness training programs.
Some people describe mindfulness meditation as an art of silencing the mind. Practicing mindfulness meditation gives you the opportunity to rest your mind, and give it a break from unhelpful thoughts. If you're just beginning to learn about mindfulness meditation, it may feel like a struggle at first to learn how you can rest your mind. Consistency is the key to making the most out of your meditation practice. With consistent practice, you'll be able to practice mindfulness meditation with ease and experience the many benefits of this powerful technique.
Tips On How To Increase The Effectiveness Of Your Meditation
In order to achieve a deeper and a more peaceful meditation experience, understand that it's important to make make sure that you're spending enough time getting yourself ready for it.
Find a place that is conducive for your practice. Go for a peaceful place where you will not be interrupted. Having serene surroundings can help make your meditation experience more calming.
Another thing you need to do is to choose a schedule for meditation. When is the most convenient time for you to relax and meditate? Some people say that it's ideal to meditate in the hours of sunrise and sunset. It can be a good strategy to spend a few minutes for meditation just before you get up from bed. This can be a good way to start your day. Realize that the benefits of mindfulness meditation can last throughout the day. You may want to meditate just before going to sleep. This can be a great way to help relieve stress, and sleep more soundly at night.
How To Practice Mindfulness Meditation
More and more people today are beginning to recognise mindfulness, which is a simple form of meditation, as an effective way to relax and relieve stress. This can be a great technique to help you improve your focus. It also helps you achieve an increased sense of self-awareness.
If you're just starting to educate yourself about mindfulness meditation, there are lots of simple mindfulness meditation exercises that you can try.
During your practice, it's important to stay in a certain position that makes you feel comfortable and alert at the same time. Besides that, you need to be able to breathe well and relax. You can choose to keep your eyes closed or open throughout the practice. If you feel that you get easily distracted if you keep your eyes open, then you might want to close your eyes during the practice. Just make sure this won't make you feel sleepy.
Take deep breaths and allow your mind and body to relax. Pay attention to your breath. Once you feel relaxed, simply notice your thoughts and feelings without judging them as wrong or right. Allow these thoughts to go by, and direct your awareness back to your breath. Practicing this exercise regularly can help make it easier for you to stay focused in the present and experience relief from stress.
How To Listen With Mindfulness
It's important to understand that it requires attention and regular practice to be able to listen mindfully. Your emotions and thoughts can get in the way with your ability to listen. It can keep you from having the ability to truly hear what another person is telling you.
To listen with mindfulness means paying close attention to the speaker without cutting them off. You need to be aware about the speaker's words and gestures. One thing you can do to help you focus on what another person is telling you is to maintain eye contact. This action implies that you're interested to hear about what they have to say.
If you don't understand well what the speaker is saying, ask them politely to clarify their statement. Understand that it's generally good to ask for a clarification instead of making assumptions. Making assumptions can usually cause further problems. So, do not hesitate to ask questions. And when they answer, make sure that you're listening carefully.

For many federal employees, moving to Washington after spending most of their careers in the field can be a shock to the system.

Thread: what reZ?

what reZ?
what resolution do you/ should i think about using when starting a digital piece.
I no this is a bit silly- and might as well ask how long is a piece of sring- but a generla ball park figure.
If YOU were doing say a self portrait what size canvas would YOU begin with?

i was doing all mine at 11X14...i always think in inches.
rez was at 100
changed to 300 recently. then size it back down to 100 for the web.
September 18th, 2002 #4
I think it depends on several things.
1) What is your pic meant to be used for? Do you want to publish it later or is only for fun or for practice?
2) How fast is your computer? Can it handle higher resolutions without loosing speed?
3) Are you man enough? (no, no, this is totally stupidly unimportant=)
So if I start a selfportrait, I usually start at a higher resolution of about 1000 x 800 px. That isn't too much because my AthlonXP 1700+ can handle it quite easily. When it's done I usually reduce the resolution a bit, especially for internet issues down to 500x400 px or equal. But if I know it's ment to be printed later on, to use it for a poster or other bigger things there is no limit but your computer. Just think of what is possible with your machine and do it!!! And HAVE FUN, ALWAYS

I tend to use 300dpi for projects which are later to be printed for poster/brochure use. I use photoshop 5.5 for any computer graphics I may create. Photoshop has a little known option for "save or web" which compresses the DPI to 72. Pretty rad stuff. Running on a PC isn't too bad, but as I'm sure most of you "into art" use MAC's for everything you do, I'll duck any comments about how much I suck or how lame I am.

Update: Man On Bike Shot, Killed In Commerce
July 1, 2015 by admin · Leave a Comment
Sheriff Homicide detectives are investigating a shooting death early Tuesday morning in Commerce, authorities said.
The body of 19-year-old Bryan Hernandez was found near the intersection of Eastern Avenue and East 61st Street around 2:50 a.m., Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Richard Westin said.
According to the preliminary investigation, Hernandez was riding a bicycle when he was shot, said coroner's Chief Craig Harvey.
Authorities said a motive was not immediately known but they would be reviewing surveillance cameras in the area to try and identify the assailant.
Streets in the area near Eastern and Peach Street and Slauson were closed off for hours to traffic as sheriff deputies investigated the crime scene.
Anyone who might have been in the area or who has information about the crime is urged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500 or Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS.
Caltrans to Pay Commerce for Access to Bandini Park During Freeway Widening
Commerce city officials have agreed to allow Caltrans to move forward with a widening project on the 710 Freeway that will temporarily close off a section of Bandini Park starting sometime in 2017.
Last week, the city council unanimously approved a motion to grant the California Department of Transportation aerial and construction easements in Bandini Park to allow the transportation agency to continue work on the I-710 Long Life Pavement Rehabilitation Project, which is intended to "increase the safety of travel," according to city staff.
Lea este artículo en Español: Caltrans Paga a Commerce para Accesar al Parque Bandini
Commerce Director of Public Works Maryam Babaki told the council during its May 19 meeting that this I-710 widening project is not the same as the I-710 North widening project that will add more lanes to the freeway. "This is about widening the shoulders" along the freeway to improve road surface and safety, Babaki explained.
The project has been in the works for several years but it wasn't until within the last year that negotiations between Caltrans and the city started to make progress.
"It started out kind of a muck," said Mayor Lilia Leon, reminding the council that Caltrans "wasn't going to work with us." Leon thanked Babaki and her staff for negotiating the agreement under which Caltrans will pay the city $650,000 for the cost of the work and the value of the easements, funds that the city can use to make improvements.
The project calls for widening the existing I-710 bridge 35 ft. next to Bandini Park and 35 ft. next to the Union Pacific rail yard; a 3.5 foot crash barrier and 14-foot high sound walls to prevent noise and debris from landing in the park will also be constructed.
The Easement Agreement gives Caltrans temporary access during the construction phase and a permanent easement to locate the base of the support column in Bandini Park. Caltrans will also be given "air rights" for the bridge overhang.
Commerce residents were not happy about the project when they were first informed years ago of Caltrans' plans for the busy park. They were worried construction would lead to more pollution and that sediment from the construction would ruin park facilities like the multipurpose courts and softball field.
Residents living in the adjacent Ayers, Bedesson and Connor area — often referred to as the ABC community — were worried that debris, vehicles, or even parts of the planned sound wall and crash barrier could fall into the park if there was a major accident. They also feared construction would increase traffic, pushing more cars and trucks off the freeway and into their neighborhoods.
As with any construction project there could be negative impacts, Babaki told EGP. The park's popular basketball courts, for example, will not be open during the two-month construction of the sound walls, she said. But Babaki also said the city has negotiated terms that will reduce the project time line and the amount of traffic on city streets significantly from what was originally proposed.
Caltrans will spend nearly $1 million to build the sound walls before construction begins along the backside of Ayers Avenue and Leonis Street on the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) side. Caltrans also agreed to give ABC residents two weeks notice before any construction activity begins.
"Caltrans has agreed to stage their construction and route their trucks through Union Pacific property," minimizing the impact to businesses and/or residents, Babaki told EGP in an email.
She also said Caltrans has made arrangements to use the Union Pacific access road behind the ABC neighborhood to access the bridge and the park, she said.
While the council stated approval of the terms of the agreement, there remains some reservation about the impact construction will have on park programs. "What will happen with the sports programs? Has that been considered?" Mayor Pro Tem Tina Baca Del Rio asked the public works director.
Babaki responded that since construction will not begin until 2017 there is still time to think about a strategy for moving programs and informing residents.
The 2014 start date was pushed back to 2017 as part of an agreement Caltrans reached with Union Pacific to alleviate impacts to the rail yard, which according to Caltrans Project Manager Diaa Yassin had been underestimated by the transportation agency.
"At first, we had programmed $5 million for right of way impacts on the business," but in reality the total cost is about $55 million, Yassin said.
"We were talking about monster numbers, we underestimated how the railroad operates," he said. "Union Pacific runs 25 percent of goods in the U.S." through its rail yards and they are going to need two years "to reconfigure some of their facility in order to avoid interruption" while Caltrans is working, he explained.
"We have to wait for them to finish their work so we can start ours," Yassin said.
Babaki said construction at the park will take two months but the entire project could take up to two years to complete.
The city is preliminarily considering using part of the $650,000 it gets from Caltrans to refurbish the basketball courts and for new lighting and landscaping.
According to Caltrans, the roadway rehabilitation will result in better ride quality and reduce future maintenance, minimizing traffic delays, costs and impacts on surrounding communities and the environment.

Lawsuit Filed Over Oil Spill on 710 Freeway Near Commerce
May 28, 2015 by admin · Leave a Comment
A lawsuit filed by the owners of a big rig that crashed on the Long Beach (710) Freeway in Commerce in 2013, leaving the driver severely burned, alleges that the accident occurred when a wheel broke free from a minibus that was being towed.
Pan Pacific Petroleum Co. Inc. filed the negligence suit Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court against A&S Towing. The suit, which seeks unspecified damages, also names the tow truck driver, Frank Lopez; minibus owners Cedric Collins and Frank West; and three auto maintenance companies that allegedly performed work on the minibus.
A man who answered the phone at Long Beach-based A&S Towing today said the company has new owners who had nothing to do with the incident. He also said Lopez no longer works with the firm.
The big rig, which was carrying about 8,000 gallons of crude oil, crashed about 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 27, 2013, near Washington Boulevard. The truck hit a guard rail and burst into flames as it dangled over the side of the road, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Much of the crude oil spilled and some of it flowed down an embankment to a residential area, setting two parked trucks on fire.
According to the lawsuit, Donovan Dixon, the big rig's driver, lost control of the truck when he struck a tire or wheel that came off the minibus as it was being towed.
The suit alleges the towing firm was negligent in attaching the minibus to its truck and that the vehicle was not properly maintained by Collins and West.
The CHP closed the freeway in both directions after the crash and did not re-open it until the next morning. The fire sent residents fleeing from their homes and prompted evacuations in the area.

710 Freeway Reopens After Tanker Truck Fire
April 28, 2015 by admin · Leave a Comment
Cities along the 710 Freeway suffered the impact of heavy traffic after a tanker truck loaded with gasoline tipped onto its side and burst into flames on the southbound Long Beach (710) Freeway in the city of Bell on Sunday afternoon.
The tanker, which fire officials said was hauling 8,500 gallons of gasoline, overturned about 3:25pm on the southbound freeway near Florence Avenue and catching fire and sending a plume of smoke that could be seen for miles.
The rig's driver was freed by firefighters, and no injuries were reported, county fire dispatcher Cheryl Sims said.
The crash and fire shut down all freeway lanes in both directions between Bandini Boulevard to the north and Florence Avenue to the south, backing up traffic for miles.
The blaze, however, which grew into a second-alarm fire, was knocked down at 4:15pm Sunday. No other vehicles were involved, Sims said.
The inferno heavily damaged the roadway surface, leaving the entire southbound freeway closed Sunday overnight and through much of Monday. Late Monday morning, authorities closed the transition road from the southbound Santa Ana (5) Freeway to the southbound 710 Freeway to limit traffic from entering the affected area.
The north side of the freeway was reopened just before 9:30pm Sunday, but the southbound side remained closed, CHP Officer Peter Bishop said Monday.
City of Commerce City Administrator Jorge Rifa told EGP the accident jammed traffic on city streets after the CHP decided to divert freeway traffic to Washington Boulevard, inconveniencing local residents and businesses in the area.
He said the City made deployed public safety units to the area to help move "the diverted traffic as quickly as possible through the city."
"As soon as we were aware of the accident, the City posted on its social media page to inform residents," Rifa said.
California Highway Patrol officials reopened all the southbound lanes at Florence Avenue on Monday at about 4:45pm, according to CHP Officer Patrick Kimball.
EGPNews Receives Commerce Commendation

"EGP's efforts have cultivated public enlightenment by providing fair and accurate reporting of news and events throughout the region," states the commendation.
Publisher Dolores Sanchez thanked Altamirano and the council for the recognition, and said the newspaper remains committed to covering local news and issues and positive stories, not just political exposés.

"Commerce feels like home," Sanchez concluded.

Developing A Transportion Plan from the Seat of a Bike
April 9, 2015 by admin · Leave a Comment
A coalition of southeast cities is working to change their streets one pedal, one foot at a time, reaching out to bicyclists and pedestrians who travel through their cities.
Bell Gardens, Commerce, Cudahy, Vernon and now Maywood are hosting free, informal bike rides where they hope to obtain feedback from residents to help them create a master pedestrian/bike plan for the region.
"Nearly all our neighboring cities already have [bike] plans," but "none of us have a plan in place," said Chau L. Vu, public works director for Bell Gardens – the city spearheading the initiative.
The cities are applying for Active Transportation Program (ATP) grants to pay for a study that would ultimately be used to pursue infrastructure funds for bike paths, new sidewalks or traffic roundabouts.
The application process calls for outreach to the community, which the cities are doing during 6-mile long bike tours organized by the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition. Each tour features a discussion on how to make streets safer and travelable for cyclists and pedestrians.
A ride was held Thursday place today at 1p.m., taking off from Bell Gardens High School. Riders discussed how walking and biking can support the goal of creating a healthier region.
"Our communities have been historically under-resourced," said Mark Lopez of East Yard Communities – which was scheduled to moderate Thursday's discussion.
During a bike ride last month in Cudahy, participants said more bike lanes and wider sidewalks are what's needed, said Bryan Moller, policy and outreach coordinator for the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition.
"Many [bicyclists] said they currently don't feel drivers pay attention to them," Moller said. "People don't feel safe."
About 25 bicyclists ranging in age from 21 to 60 took part in the ride along the Los Angeles River, stopping along the way to discuss how to improve access to the river and downtown L.A. for southeast cyclists and pedestrians.
"We just want to get a gauge" of the needs in the region, Vu said. "These meetings are giving residents an opportunity to express the type of problems or safety issues they face."
Commerce Public Work Director Maryam Babaki told EGP she is excited about the health benefits that such plans could bring.
"Encouraging biking and walking reduces a community's dependence on automobiles, brings vitality and allows the residents to become more active, as well as participatory in their communities," she said. "It also reduces air pollution and creates an equitable transportation network for all regardless of age, physical ability or income."
"These are cities with huge numbers of bicyclists and people who use public transportation," Moller pointed out.
The cities say before now they did not have the resources to fund the cost of developing a master transportation plan for the region, but that could change if they receive an ATP grant.
The application is due in June and award recipients should be announced by the end of the year.
"Here in the southeast, we all have similar demographics, we are so close to each other…it makes sense to work together," said Vu, adding that "Some of our residents work in the rest of the cities and vice versa."

Local Women Recognized for Service
For nearly three decades, legislators across the state of California have been recognizing women who have made a difference in their district.
Last Friday, Assemblywomen Cristina Garcia recognized nine women from the 58th district, which spans through the cities of Artesia, Bellflower, Bell Gardens, Cerritos, Commerce, Downey, Norwalk and Pico Rivera.
Celebrated in the month of March as part of Women's History Month, the tradition dates back to 1987 when the California Legislative Women's Caucus presented the first Women of the Year awards. All state legislators now take part in highlighting the accomplishments of women from a variety of backgrounds, from teachers and pharmacist, to city employees and business owners.
"We should be celebrating" women all year, said Garcia during the event held at the Southern California Edison headquarters in Downey.
Among the nine honorees were three local women: Marilyn Thompson from Bell Gardens, Carmen Marquez of Commerce and Shushma Patel of Montebello.
Thompson is a teacher at Bell Gardens Intermediate, Garcia's alma mater. She was recognized for her work in the classroom and coordinating efforts to organize leadership camps and trips to the state capital for her students.
Thomson said humbly she considers what she does a part of the job.
Marquez, a retired teacher with over 35 years working for the Montebello Unified School District, was recognized for her past work on various committees in the city of Commerce and with groups such as the California Association of Bilingual Educators.
"We don't do everything alone, we are all connected," said Marquez at the event. "I brought my village with me," she added, before recognizing the people who have helped her feel confident about what she does.
Patel owns an independent community pharmacy and serves as the chairperson for the Indian Pharmacists Association of California Advisory, serves on the board of the Montebello Rotary Club and routinely provides free counseling to the community. After receiving the award, she told the audience she enjoys giving back.
Other honorees included: Veronica Bloomfield (a historian) of Artesia; Sandra Espinoza-Perry (owner of a child care center) of Bellflower; Mae Lovgren (president of PTA) of Cerritos; Alison Elaine Kirby (English teacher) of Downey; Dr. Linda Lacy (president of Cerritos College) of Norwalk; and Lizet Olmos (city employee) of Pico Rivera.
Commerce Installs New Council Members, Names New Mayor

The Commerce Council Chamber was filled to capacity Tuesday for the council's annual reorganization and the installation of the two newly elected members of the council.
City employee Oralia Rebollo was sworn-in by City Clerk Lena Shumway. Pico Rivera Councilman Bob Archuleta administered the oath to Hugo Argumedo, a former city councilman.

GAO performed the procedures requested by the Secretary of the Senate to assist in determining whether the Senate Office of Public Records revolving fund's reported fiscal year 2001 through 2002 receipts and disbursements and fund balances at the beginning and the end of the review period are complete and accurate. The procedures included reviewing documentation supporting the the Senate Office of Public Records revolving fund's recorded receipt and disbursement transactions for evidence that the transactions were properly authorized, recorded, and reported on the Senate Disbursing Office's monthly Statement of Funding Authorization and Expense Activity reports. In addition, we reviewed the fund balance at the beginning and end of the fiscal years under review. As a result of performing agreed-upon procedures, we identified on instance in which a cash disbursement was not forwarded to the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration prior to payment. This occurred during the displacement of staff from Senate Disbursing Office as a result of the anthrax incident in the fall of 2001. Additionally, we found that the beginning and ending fund balances for fiscal years 2001 and 2002 recorded in the Senate Disbursing Office's monthly statements agreed with the balances reported by the U.S. Treasury.

An Eye Opener! (How does she ever get any work done?),
This review is from: Girl with a One-Track Mind: Confessions of the Seductress Next Door (Paperback)
This is a year in the life of self confessed sex fiend Abby Lee. Although non fiction, I agree with the previous reviewer; I don't believe it wasn't embellished along the way. If her sex life is really that busy, I don't know how she had the time to work/write her diary/eat etc. However if she has made some of it up, her imagination is impressive.
Having said that, I found it an easy, captivating and entertaining read which made me laugh out loud in a few places, plus I learned quite a few things! I think men might find it a useful insight into the female psyche regarding sex as well as doubtless enjoying the descriptions of her antics.
The diary is interspersed with useful 'guide' sections for both men and women. These I thought were particularly funny, rather than instructive. Her philosophising, particularly regarding the differences between men and women, was perhaps the most enjoyable part of the book for me. Also, as a woman myself, I applaud her for being open about topics that other writers and womens' magazines shy away from. She is certainly a font of knowledge and opinion and I can see a career as a sex therapist beckoning.
I've only given it three stars because, as a book, I found I was getting tired of it towards the end. I think her writing style and subject matter is far better suited to the format of the blog, with its links and interactions, which I think is very good. I'd recommend reading some of that before buying this book.
