La Petite Robe Noire (original) by Guerlain
Passing a cheerful goth girl on my way from the bank on a beautiful spring afternoon, I caught a whiff of this recent Guerlain perfume and was impressed. I was surprised it was Guerlain, actually. Many reviews say this was a Chanel rip off Maybe the marketing was, but I think Guerlain was going for more of a Wednesday Adams effect. My impression was this was a new Lolita Lempicka, because the herbal licorice gourmand trick is well done. La Petite Robe Noire lists lemon in the ingredients. I haven't smelled it sprayed, but that note is probably short-lived. Fresh, musky apples is what made me stop the girl wearing this. It was like some Hungarian peasant dance where the girl keeps an apple in under her arm and gives it to the boy she likes best, or like Snow White. Based on the bottle, this is what I expected the original Lolita Lempicka to smell like. But I guessed many of the notes correctly and should have known this was Guerlain: anise, damascones, heliotrope, musk and vanilla. It's a good fruity floral, but it's a tired genre.

In Which I Write For The Mail ( by sunstone)
As I wake bleary eyed ,and peer through my ultra long lashes ( by Natalie of course,doing all us celebs now),the haze of the sun hits me through my ancient window.Nelly my cleaner has just exited the room after pulling back the heavy drapes ( from some posh shop I forget..)
I gaze wistfully,or could it be myopically ,at the wondrous Yorkshire or French or Shropshire ( oh ****,where am I??) countryside.
Suddenly I hear the screech of lambsicals being slaughtered,I throw myself in agony on the cashmere and prawn quilt.
Agonies of ecstasy,for 'tis Nelly eviscerating the lambs to prepare a manly breakfast of kidneys for my sexy mustachioed lover man.Oh how I adore him,for he carries a shotgun and a huge belly.( sisters.I must confess,his hairy thighs distract me from my cleanliness).
But haste,I must leave now for the children of the household are much in need of a sound whipping and sadly I am the only personage with the will and strength.( though 'tis said I am but tiny and beautiful,and maybe a bit gozzy eyed).
An ailing cat is calling ,or could that be a child or a parent..
Nelly will sort it.Time for an oily bath.

In the wake of the debacle unleashed by San Francisco Pride's announcement that gay whistleblower Bradley Manning would not be grand marshal for this year's Pride Parade after all, a large crowd of protesters assembled outside Pride's Market Street headquarters April 29 for a hastily organized rally condemning the move. They held signs depicting Manning's image, and chanted, "Grand marshal, not court martial!"Read more »
The whole Bradley Manning-Pride fiasco was such a clusterfuck that we're starting to wonder whether the people who run the giant parade and festival can count, much less make a decision.
Here, as best as we can tell, is how it went down.Read more »
"I was one of the 15 former grand marshals on the electoral commission that voted for Bradley Manning," Barry Saiff, former BiNet president, told me over the phone this morning from Washington, DC, about the Bradley Manning Pride grand marshalship controversy. (As one half of a bi-national queer couple, he lives most of the year in the Phillipines with his boyfriend, who is unable to come to the United States due to discriminatory immigration laws.)
To recap: An 'electoral college' of former grand marshals elected the jailed gay (possibly now transgender) whistleblower who provided Wikileaks with a huge dump of raw classified US government info. Someone announced the choice on Friday and the media went nuts. Then the Pride executive director issued this bizarre statement repudiating the decision and rescinding the honor, to the dismay of the electoral college and a huge swath of LGBT locals. A protest at Pride HQ is planned for today, 5pm at 1841 Market, SF.)
"The list of nominees from the other board members was presented to me in March, and the instant I saw Bradley's name on there I knew it was the right choice. Pride stands for justice, freedom, and an end to discrimination, and I feel Bradley represents all of these things -- as well as complete honesty and bravery. What the Pride board did to repudiate that choice, especially in its official statement -- to not be able to make the distinction between Manning's necessary actions and way the government is denigrating our troops with these illegal and unjust wars -- is the height of stupidity.
"They [the Pride board] are colluding in the giant 'Support Our Troops' hoax that says you must never question the leadership of the military. There is actually no contradiction between supporting our troops as individuals, including our LGBT folks in the armed services, and supporting Bradley Manning and what he did.
Read more »
So. Pride did a thing. After years of being no more politically risky than an bowl of strawberry Jell-O, the Pride committee -- or some kind of mole within the Pride committee, according to SF Pride board president Lisa L. Williams' utterly weird statement about the whole thing -- announced that Bradley Manning (a.k.a. Breanna Manning), jailed and pallid hero of the Wikileaks generation, soon to face court-martialling, was to be a Pride Grand Marshall.
An honor usually reserved for washed up TV actresses who once said the word "gay" on CBS prime time in the '80s and craven politicos with dead eyes and hard hair, the Grand Marshallship has before this stirred up about as much controversy outside the community as the color beige. And yet, on Friday afternoon, the world's head exploded. (The canny queen who leaked the decision sure knew her press cycles -- Wikileaks lives!) When your dad in Detroit calls you almost immediately after the news breaks to ask how you're covering it, you know its grabbing virtual headlines.
FAIR, the national media watchdog organization, has written an excellent critique of the coverage of the Bradley Manning case, one of the more shameful episodes in U.S.military and journalism history. KPFA's "Democracy Now" radio program headed by Amy Goodman (9-10 weekdays) has also done regular superlative coverage. Here is FAIR's report (B3):
Turning Their Back on Bradley Manning: Whistleblower speaks but press doesn't listen
As the alleged source of many of the most vital WikiLeaks reports of the past several years, U.S. Army Private Bradley Manning shed considerable light on how the United States has prosecuted the Iraq and Afghan wars. Other State Department cables reportedly leaked by Manning conveyed vital information about U.S. foreign policy.
Manning has, in other words, been connected to a lot of news (FAIR Media Advisories, 4/7/10, 12/16/10, 7/30/10): the video of a 2007 U.S. helicopter attack in Baghdad that killed several civilians (two Reuters journalists died in the attack); the revelation that hundreds of U.S. attacks on civilians in Afghanistan had been recorded by the military-- but were unreported elsewhere; the cache of diplomatic cables that uncovered U.S. efforts to stymie legal investigations into torture, U.S. involvement in airstrikes in Yemen; and much more. Read more »
Led by veterans from Iraq Veterans Against the War and Veterans for Peace, supporters of army PFC Bradley Manning protested in some 35 US cities tonight. The protests were planned to coincide with the Democratic National Convention, to demand that President Obama pardon Manning.
They also demanded that the President "retract and apologize for remarks made in 2011, in which he said Bradley Manning 'broke the law.'" Read more »

Reports in England and Italy suggest that Manchester City are preparing a new assault for Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi.
The Italy midfielder was strongly linked with a transfer to the Premier League side during last season, when talks over a contract renewal in the capital stalled.
Despite him having since signed that improved deal with the Giallorossi, reports suggest that Roberto Mancini has asked City officials to test Roma's reserve for holding on to the 29-year-old.
The Gazzetta dello Sport, however, believe that the capital club are unwilling to listen to offers at any level for the midfielder.

Ethan Starr wants to introduce his barber to his big bait and tackle, but hasn't had him alone and to himself long enough until now. Getting him naked and touching him all over in his barber shop, the barber gets the idea pretty quickly and pulls Ethan's erection out for a quick go with his tongue before getting him naked too so they can really play! A little rimming is in order after the oral to get their assholes good and wet and lubricated before they go balls deep in one another. Fucking hard, the man-chowder comes fast, and gets everywhere!

Heavy Rain Worsens Lake Erie Algae Blooms
Lake Erie charter captains are helping Ohio EPA researchers gather water samples to test for toxic algae blooms.
The Lake Erie Charter Boat Association says the captains have a vested interest because they depend on tourists and a healthy lake for their business. An Ohio EPA official says captains collected 45 water samples last July through October and the agency and the captains want to work together again this year. Meanwhile, a new report from the National Wildlife Federation shows heavy spring rainfall is exacerbating farm runoff - leading to the re-emergence of the Lake Erie blooms. In 2011, record-breaking rains led to a record number of the blooms, which covered an area of more than three-thousand miles. Peter Richards is with the National Center for Water Quality Research at Heidelberg University in Tiffin, which conducted the study.
Richards recommends several solutions, including stronger farm conservation practices; restoration of the natural landscape and wetlands; and the reduction of carbon pollution linked to global climate change.

Overall Experience
Great stay
ByPooh Beauty
July 03, 2015
I really enjoyed my stay. The staff was wonderful, very friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and comfortable. My only issues were that the television channels were limited and the satellite did not give programming information, so you could never tell what you were watching. Also the air condition and refrigerator were a little noisy so if you are a light sleeper (as I am) this will interrupt your sleep pattern. Overall this was a wonderful experience and I would definitely stay here again.

Great Belay Gloves
I got these for belaying. And they are great for that. The leather palm is reinforced, and you have amazing grip on the rope when belaying. You can lower somebody without burning your hands, and with excellent control. I haven't had these gloves for to long. But i am sure the durability will be fine, and these will last for a very long time. the Biner loops in each glove are great for clipping to your harness. Great gloves, would recommend to anyone.

CHICAGO (AP) — Illinois officials are reviewing five bids to build the state's health insurance exchange — a required component of the federal health care overhaul that Gov. Pat Quinn intends to implement regardless of who wins the presidency on Election Day.
Illinois moves ahead on health insurance exchange
By 2014, each state must have a working exchange where people and small businesses can comparison shop online for commercial health plans based on quality and cost. The concept has been described as Travelocity for health insurance, and it's intended to make buying insurance simpler and more affordable.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has expressed support for states setting up their own exchanges, although he's said he would work with Congress to repeal the health care law that he and other Republicans have derided as "Obamacare." That means Illinois and many other states could push ahead with the exchanges if Romney wins, according to Brian Patt of Reston, Va.-based Infosys Public Services, which is one of the five companies bidding on the Illinois contract.
"Fifteen states are in process now, including Illinois, and they represent about half the population of the country because they are the larger states," Patt said.
"These states decided early on this makes sense to manage their own exchanges" rather than have the federal government do it, Patt said. If Romney wins, "all he's going to do is shift the model over to the states and they'll end up with something very similar" to what they're working toward now.
Obama's health care legislation focuses on covering most of the uninsured and requires nearly every U.S. resident to have coverage. Illinois officials estimate about 800,000 uninsured residents would have coverage in 2014 because of the law, and that the figure will have eclipsed the 1 million mark by 2020.
Under the health care law, states that don't run their own exchanges or partner with the federal government to do so will see Washington step in and take over.
Heather Howard, director of the State Health Reform Assistance Network, said that if Romney wins, Democrat-led states such as Illinois could argue that they should receive the same type of federal help that Massachusetts got in support of its health reform when Romney was governor there, which was roughly $385 million.

Merrell Bare Access 2 Review
Merrell's Bare Access 2 is an update to the popular Bare Access released last year. i reviewed them here:
I used that particular shoe for a good portion of the Across the Years 72 hour race and all of the Fifth Third Riverbank Run 25k. The cushioning didn't affect my gait nearly as much as I expected. The biggest issue I had was the top of the heel counter. […]
Skora Form Review
I'm always excited to test a first shoe from new companies. Skora was founded by David Sypniewski a few years ago. He solicited a lot of feedback when designing his first lineup, which I appreciated. At the time, the minimalist market was quite bare. [see what I did there]

Officially, the Merrell Flux Glove is designed as a training shoe. It's designed on the Road Glove outsole, but with a slightly more structured upper to handle lateral cutting movements. Think high intensity interval training. While the shoe excels as a training shoe, I found it to be the single most versatile minimalist shoe I've found to date.
I received the shoe right before we left the mountains of Colorado, brought it with […]
Merrell Mix Master Aeroblock Review
The Merrell Mix Master Aeroblock (MMAB) is similar to the Mix Master 2 (MM2) with a different upper. This shoe was one of three pairs I brought along for the grueling TransRockies six day stage race in Colorado (the others were two pairs of Merrell Trail Gloves). Needless to say, the shoes were tested in extreme conditions.
First Thoughts
Aesthetically, I prefer the Aeroblocks to the Mix Master 2's, which I've also tested […]

Simple Hydration Water Bottle Review
How to carry water- it's one of the biggest logistical issues ultrarunners face. Some people (including me) prefer handheld water bottles. Others prefer hydration packs with bladders. Still others prefer a pack that carries bottles.
The Simple Hydration water bottle is a versatile 13 ounce bottle that could feasibly work with any of these solutions. How? The bottle has a unique "hook" shape that allows the bottle to be carried in places that are impossible with a traditional bottle.
Altra Adam Review
This may be the longest period I've even tested a pair of shoes before writing a review… about six months.
When I first tried the Altra Adams, I hated them. They seemed like expensive aqua socks. My first sockless run resulted in serious cuts from internal seams. The closure system was funky.
I just couldn't write the review, though.
There was something about the shoes that made me hold […]
Merrell Mix Master 2 Review: New Offering in the M-Connect Series
I've been on a VERY long quest to find an ideal mountain running shoe. My standard trail running shoe, Merrell's Trail Glove, performs like a champ in 90% of the conditions I encounter on my travels. However, that remaining 10% has been a continuous problem. I needed a shoe that provided a little more protection but didn't interfere with running gait. The shoe had to be lightweight as I would be using it for […]

Originally written on RedSoxLife | Last updated 2/21/13
The Boston Red Sox spent yesterday's off day picking up Seattle left handed hitter 1B/OF Mike Carp. Carp had been designated for assignment by the Mariners, but the Red Sox picked him up for a player to be named later. What does this mean in Boston? Well, first of all, first base is a log jam. Mike Napoli, Daniel Nava, Lyle Overbay and Carp all plan on trying out for first base, but with Carp also able to play in the outfield, he may be the better option to be Napoli's backup. When asked about the newly acquired Mike Carp, manager John Farrell said, It increases the competition between first and at left field. We have been able to add a talented player to camp here,someone that we have had conversations with throughout the course of the offseason...Another left handed hitter that has that versatility on the defensive side. Carp is pretty excited to be a Red Sox player as well, as he posted his thoughts on twitter. (@CarpusMaximus20): Overwhelmed by the support from my new fans in ...

Why Microsoft is lowering Xbox 360 price, and why it's not lowering price more
Posted by Benjamin J. Romano
The video game world seems pretty confident that Microsoft will cut the price of its Xbox 360 console by $50 on Sunday, a day before its big press conference at the E3 Media & Business Summit in Los Angeles. A story in The Wall Street Journal further confirms the rumors.
A $50 cut would lower the price of the Xbox 360 Pro version of the console to $300. So why is the company dropping the price now? And why not cut the price more to really put the pressure on Sony? Hint: Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices Division has a promise to keep.
For an answer to the first question, check out Dean Takahashi's post at VentureBeat. Takahashi is one of the best when it comes to explaining the inner workings of the Xbox 360. He explains how Microsoft has improved the motherboard inside the Xbox 360, realizing cost savings that it can pass to customers.
But why not cut more? Takahashi says the console competitors -- Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii -- aren't pressuring Microsoft to make price cuts more than once a year. The PS3 is still the higher-priced player in the market; the Wii is "so different" and still generates huge demand. (In fact, even though it's listed for $250, the least you'll pay for one right now through third parties on Amazon.com is $323.95.)
One analyst I talked to, however, thinks Microsoft needs to be more aggressive with its console pricing to try to catch runaway Nintendo and turn up the heat on PS3, which is heading into the 2008 holiday season with a strong lineup of exclusive games.
If Microsoft dropped the price of the Xbox 360 by $100 instead of $50 -- thus opening a "significant" $150 price gap between the Xbox 360 Pro and Sony's lowest-priced PS3 -- it would give Sony fits, said Mike Goodman of the Yankee Group. Bit with the rumored $50 cut, Sony would "breathe a huge sigh of relief," he said.
For Microsoft, "it has fundamentally come down to a question of market share vs. profitability," Goodman said, "and based upon the commitments that Microsoft as a corporation has made to the financial community, they're choosing to approach price cuts in a more conservative manner."
As early as July 2007, Entertainment and Devices Division President Robbie Bach pledged to Wall Street analysts that the games business and his division as a whole would be profitable in the 2008 fiscal year. The division turned in a loss of nearly $2 billion in fiscal year 2007 and, now in its eighth year with products in the market, has yet to post a full year of profitability. But in 2008, it has reported a healthy $614 million profit through the first nine months. Microsoft reports fourth-quarter and full-year results a week from today.
One more twist: Deeper price cuts now would affect sales and profitability for the division in the 2009 fiscal year, which began July 1. When I asked Bach in October 2007 if the commitment was ongoing profitability, or just profitability in fiscal 2008, he said:
"We've said we're going to be profitable this year and that Xbox is going to be profitable this year. That's kind of all we've said.
"Certainly the presumption is ... that we want to build a sustainable business. Is it possible we could look down the road and say, 'Gosh, there's a big investment that we need to make that might make us unprofitable in a year or in a quarter?' Sure. Everybody should always assume that's possible."

Microsoft isn't lowering the price of their console really. They are putting a new version into the market and discounting the rest of the available 20GB units. In other words, "Please buy our OLD version so that the NEW 60GB can have room on the store shelves."

A local judge has thrown out a lawsuit...stemming from the controversial Lazy 8 Casino project.
The Sparks City Council had originally rejected the project on Pyramid Highway, only to accept the plan in a closed-door deal...when the developer sued the city for $100 million. In response, a citizen's group...headed by John Ascuaga's Nugget...filed lawsuit against the city and the Red Hawk Development Company, over what it claimed, was an illegal agreement.
But on Friday, District Judge Jerome Poloha dismissed the Nugget's suit...saying the plaintiff waited too long to file. He also said open-meeting laws were not violated, because the council later accepted the project in a public vote.
A statement released by the City of Sparks says..."Currently, the next phase of the Lazy 8 Project is... planning commission, followed by city-council consideration of final approval of the development handbook, and a related development agreement later this year."

Scientists at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research have embarked on a national search for sisters.
Manhasset, NY (Vocus) March 29, 2010 -- Scientists at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research have embarked on a national search for sisters.
The SisSLE (Sisters of Women with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) research study is looking for sisters: one with a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease and one (or more) who does not have lupus. Betty Diamond, MD, and Peter Gregersen, MD, designed the study to understand how individuals may progress to lupus. By following sister(s) of a lupus patient the hope is to identify the disease in its earliest, pre-symptomatic stage and track its progression over time. The pilot study will enroll 400 sisters over a 2-year period. Scientists will be able to identify auto-antibodies that play a role in lupus and study other changes in blood serum that may help predict disease. They will also be trying to figure out how auto-antibodies may interact with environmental factors to play a role in the development of lupus.
Lupus is nine times more common in women and the autoimmune disease can attack many different organs and tissues of the body. Lupus has a significant genetic component. The risk of developing SLE is .1 percent in the population and twice that in females. In first degree relatives the risk can be from 4 to 8 percent.

Five-star Rafa reigns again
Soderling powerless to deny clay king his fifth Roland Garros crown
Also see
Rafael Nadal has won his fifth French Open title after beating Robin Soderling in Sunday's final.
The Spanish second seed reigns supreme in Paris once again after crushing the fifth-seeded Swede 6-4 6-2 6-4 in front of a capacity crowd on Court Philippe Chatrier.
On a murky June afternoon in the French capital, Nadal exacted revenge on Soderling for ending his unblemished French Open record in the fourth round last year, to capture his seventh grand slam title in the two-hour-18-minute contest which he dominated from the outset.
The 24-year-old Mallorcan, who has returned to the summit of men's tennis after wrestling back the number one spot from Roger Federer, now trails Bjorn Borg by a solitary Roland Garros title in the all-time standings after downing the tennis legend's compatriot on his 54th birthday.
Nadal, who now has taken his title-tally on the clay to 29 after extending his winning streak on the surface to 22 matches, completed the 'Red-Slam' by adding the Coupe des Mousquetaires to the titles he won in Monte Carlo, Rome and Madrid in the spring.
Time and again, Soderling thought he had the Spaniard where he wanted him on Chatrier but the second seed would almost inevitably make him play one more shot or produce a sensational winner, as he emulated his 2008 feat of winning the title without dropping a set.
Much had been made in the build-up of the impact of the weather, and storms were forecast, but the match began in bright sunshine, which would have pleased odds-on favourite Nadal.
Soderling, who avenged his own defeat in last year's final by beating Federer on Tuesday, made the more impressive start, holding his opening two service games - more than he managed at the same stage in 2009.
He failed to make the most of Nadal errors that gave him 30-40 in game four but had his opponent rattled when the Spaniard challenged a serve at 15-30 in the next, only for umpire Cedric Mourier to disagree.
Nadal nevertheless went on to fashion two break points, taking the second when Soderling fatally left a cross-court backhand which he thought was dropping long.
The Swede was playing a high-risk game but began hitting more errors than winners, summed up in game seven when he slumped from 40-0 and had to save two more break points.
A Nadal double-fault gave Soderling the first of two break-back points in the next but more mistakes from the fifth seed followed.
The theme continued when he was serving to stay in the set, handing Nadal 0-40. The Scandinavian right-hander served his way out of trouble but was not able to stop his opponent serving out the set.
Dark clouds had begun gathering towards the end of the first set but the rain held off.
There was a hint of a momentum change though when Soderling had four break points in game two of the second, the 25-year-old roared on by chants of "Robin, Robin, Robin" from a surprisingly partisan Parisian crowd.
But Nadal chased down the most forlorn of causes and was rewarded when he held.
For his second straight match, the Spaniard was made to wait when a spectator required attention in game four, but he kept his composure.
And he produced some incredible shot-making to break to love in the next, Soderling shaking his head in disbelief.
Nadal appeared to be everywhere at times, but only had to stand still as a double-fault gave him the first of two double-break points in game seven.
Soderling netted on the second and Nadal duly held to win the second set.
Support for Soderling was now becoming more muted and he tossed away his serve in the opening game of the third set with the air of a beaten man.
He rallied to break-back point in the next but, once again, Nadal refused to yield.
The set then went with serve, Soderling avoiding what could have been a double-break when 30-40 down in game seven.
But Nadal was serving imperiously and held his nerve to seal the straight-sets triumph before sliding to the ground in delight.

Fully agree with you Philip. Nadal is an extraordinary sportsman and his speech is always hardwork and respect for opponents. Fantastic match, tournament and clay season. Congratulations.

So many people hyped the Nadal Soderling match, the truth's a fit Nadal is unbeatable on clay. I will also add, that Soderling may become less arrogant after being shown how tennis should be played

shame he came along in federers generation. he would have been the best player ever. but, he is set to dominate, as federer is 30, and will decide on his future in a couple of years, and without federer, who is going to stop nadal? go andy murray!

I'm glad Rafa won the title today. No one deserved it more than him. Once again, the king of clay is sitting quite comfortably on that well-deserved throne of his. I cannot wait for Wimbledon. Unfortunately though, I think that title still belongs to Federer. Only time will tell though. But for now, VAMOS RAFA!!!!!!

I'm so happy for rafa, that he produced he's best tennis of the tournamemt on the final day, in my opinion he's best tennis in 2010, you would'nt want to bet against him making the 3rd week of roland garros next year. As for reaching the summit of being number 1 again, I don't think rafa is that bothered at being number 1 or 2 , all he cares about is winning grand slams, I hope he will have a good run in Queens so he's preparation for wimbledon is solid as there is only 1 warm up tournament for the grass court season which I find strange, when you consider there is 4 warm up tournaments on clay before roland garros. I think this needs looking into, anyway the rafa we missed for so long is finally back and I hope he can emulate his success on the red stuff into winning he's second wimbledon crown, congratulations and good luck to rafa at sw19.

he's just the best in the world, simple, and at just 24, has the world at his feet again, and long may it continue. congratulations to soderling on reaching the final again, but yet again come up against someone who just simply wasnt going to be beaten, no matter what.

To all those who thought Nadal was finished last year, I hope you eating humble pie. He is back and even better than ever, watch out all you Rafa slaters. Federer won it coz it was handed to him and he knows it. Rafa wins it coz he fights for it, you all know it. Brilliant play though by Rafa and hats off to Robin, two consecutive Roland Garos finals is a huge.

Well done to Rafa, after being written off countless times in the last year he's proved his critics wrong and fought back against an opponent who caused one of his worst defeats. A worthy champion and back at NO 1, long may the king of clay reign!! Vamos Rafael!!

Philip Daka says...
It%u2019s great to see Rafa back to his old self. He is an amazing champion who combines athleticism with skill & hardwork. His ability, especially on clay, is unmatched - so is his grace in defeat. It was sad to see injuries take toll on the young champ last year. Great come back well done.

"I can make all the stadiums rock."
-Air Supply
For arguments sake who should hit 4th? IMO Votto is by far your best all around hitter and should bat in the 3 hole. His splits are even and I don't see anyone who will supplant him from that roll. If you subscribe to breaking up the lefties in the middle of the order then you have Votto, R, Bruce. That basically leaves two right handed bats in Edwin and Phillips. I don't put Edwin into the 4 hole until he proves he can handle it. Until he proves that he will become a more consistent hitter. Until he drives the ball all over the field like he says he will. Phillips isn't ideal but may be the best option until Edwin replaces him.
Breaking up lefties--or righties--is stupid and Phillips has ALREADY proven that he, unequivocally, stinks versus RHP.
Get your best bats the most amount of at-bats. What an insane concept.
The fact that Dusty wants to blame his struggles on some sort of mysterious 3rd or 4th year malady makes me want to laugh. Or cry.
IMO EE has had problems handling stress. Putting him in the #4 slot is more stressfull that putting him in the #6 slot.
The Reds do not have an ideal #4 hitter.
Putting BP there makes him want to swing for the fences.
Putting EE there puts more pressure on him.
Pick your poison.
Edwin actually has better career numbers in the 4 hole than hitting 6th. In less than half the plate appearances though.
Career #4: .839 OPS (283 PA)
Career #6: .823 OPS (601 PA)
"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
But if we still don't want EE in the 4-spot, fine. Let BP hit cleanup against lefties and let Votto or Bruce do it against righties. How hard is that? Why does Dusty insist on penciling Phillips into the cleanup spot regardless of matchup? (Rhetorical question.)
"I can make all the stadiums rock."
-Air Supply
That's a reasonable suggestion, given the alternatives. The problem is that Bruce has flashes of goodness, but his overall season last year wasn't that much to get excited about.
I'm not sure I bat Bruce 3rd or 4th based on potential .. yet.
I do agree that Phillips isn't the ideal choice to bat 4th. I guess EdE or maybe Gomez would be better, although neither of those two are that exciting either.
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
Votto and Bruce have the most natural thunder on the team, plus they bat lefthanded--GAB is of course a lefthanded hitter's paradise.
Phillips makes no sense on a ton of levels: incidental pop, poor eye being the most important ones. Encarnacion's not an ideal choice either, though.

Gap Junction-Mediated Intercellular Signalling in Health and Disease
The last few years have seen considerable progress in this field and exciting new issues concerning gap junctional intercellular communication are being raised. Perturbed gap junction activity is beginning to be linked to certain pathologies, e.g. mutations in the major connexin of the heart have been found in human patients suffering from visceroatrial heterotaxia syndrome and mutations in the gene encoding another connexin have been found in patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
This book is the first to highlight the recent progress in understanding gap junction structure and to discuss the specific roles of individual connexins. It features contributions from an interdisciplinary group of experts who review the role of gap junctions in the heart, the retina and lens, the auditory system, the reproductive system, and in cell proliferation and cancer.
The book will appeal to people interested in cell and molecular biology, embryonic development, neurobiology, cardiology, gynaecology and oncology.less

How many inches can the average girl take in her mouth?
I'm really nervous because I'm probably going to "do the deed" with my long-term boyfriend sometime soon, and one thing I'm particularly nervous... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Sounds like what you're doing is about average, and if you deep throat it a little more by pushing it all the way back for a second, on occasion that may drive him nuts. Still one thing that may make you feel better is that the most sensitive part is the end of his penis. So, you can probably still do an amazing job if you just focused on the end and gave it a lot of love. Especially with your tongue.
Anyway you'll probably do fine. don't worry too much about taking it all in. quite a few of my Girlfriends couldn't but they did great. You probably will too. If you get nervous or something just ask him for a little instruction. Most people don't mind giving a little instruction to help someone along.
Bottom line, though. You have nothing to worry about. Just try your best and ask for directions if you get lost.
Good luck.
What Guys Said 10
You're probably doing better than average already, and understand that these things take practice and experience, and that your natural body variations, which you can't do anything about, also play a role.
The most important part of a BJ is enthusiasm; if the girl is into it, it's a thousand times better than if she isn't, regardless of technique.
I've had girls take me in their throats swallowing all of me, I've had girls that gagged without even taking the head in, and I've had girls take 5 inches... there is no norm. My advice, stop worrying, take what you can and have fun with him, I don't care how much a girl can take as long as I know she's enjoying what she's giving me. The more she enjoys herself, the more I want to give back to her.
haha I mean I know I'll enjoy it, I just want to know I'm pleasing him too.
What Girls Said 3
Practice practice practice. Don't worry about taking him all in all at once right off the bat. If you're new at doing this, you'll just frustrate yourself and him. Some things that have helped me (and I've been told I'm pretty good at it for whatever it's worth) 1. Use your tongue. The head and the underside are particularly sensitive so as you pull back, make a quick circle around the head with your tongue before you take him back in again. Use the tip of your tongue and run it along the length of the underside, flick the tip and then take as much as you can. 2. Use your hand along with your mouth. Make a circle with your thumb and fingers and put them up to your lips. This will extend the amount of his cock that you are covering. 3. Watch p*rn . Watch how those girls do it. Seriously, you very seldom see them deep throating a cock and if they do, it's never for more than a few seconds at a time. 4. Don't force it. If you try to take too much and gag yourself, you could end up vomiting and trust me, NOTHING kills the mood faster lol.
If you can do 5 inches, you're doing really well. Deep throat is something that takes practice... a little more for a little longer over a period of time until you can comfortably take all of it. You'll have to learn to control your breathing too because taking that much cock into your throat will cut off your air supply. It helped me to take a muscle relaxer beforehand. (Allow about 15 minutes for it to kick in.) Also, it got a LOT easier for me when I had my tonsils removed. (Just a happy side effect of the surgery... i DO NOT recommend having major surgery JUST so you can swallow a cock. That's just crazy.)
Most of all - have fun. If you are genuinely enjoying yourself, then he will love it no matter how much or how little you can take. Talk to each other. Ask him what he likes and then do that.
Finally, when he cums, swallow. It's just good manners. ;)
I believe 4-5 inches is the average.. I know for some girls when a guy is 7 inches or more, they do both their hands and mouth. - I don't use my hands for I suck at giving hands jobs. LOL
It comes down to your gag reflexes. You're not going to be able to take it all in overnight. Keep sucking it till you're used to it and that your mouth is well adjusted. - Mix it up with cum, flavor lubes, saliva, pre cum.. Get it sloppy wet.
Don't rush into it. Breathe through your nose, relax your throat. Tilt your head back slightly, have him lightly thrust his c-ock down your throat. The best position for is when you're on your knees and if you get better at it and have mastered it, try doing it upside down on the bed. Also, other positions as well.. Since he's 7.5 inches, I wouldn't recommend letting him face f***ing you though it is HOT..
My ex boyfriend was 7 inches and I did gag now and then but I got it all into my mouth, make it very wet.. When he is about to cum, I would have him deepthroat me and come down my throat so he wouldn't have to pull out and the sensation for him will be amazing because the tightness. I got him to be semi hard so it was easier. Soon I was like "Look ma, no hands" LOL - I take time to warm up and I can begin to feel my throat relaxing. I feel like I have to keep a delicate balance between my breathing, my relaxed throat, and this relentless c-ock that is drilling my mouth..
Your mind will play an important role in this too, you must think "I want to please my man." Something along those lines.
Also, rhythm is important. I'm sure you trust him so he needs to be aware of what he's doing.
Practice! Have fun! Oh by the way, don't use a banana.. It won't compare to how brick hard he will be.
Have an opinion?

A Few Notches Shy of Great
The main story in this annual was very nicely done. The art was great, as both X-Force and the New Warriors were depicted favorably. The writing was also consistent, which is nice in an annual crossover because there is minimal repetition. (But since Fabian was writing both books regularly anyway I guess there isn't too much lauding to be done. Regardless, it was still nice.)
Being an annual, however, there is a lot of space to fill. I recognize that the other stories aren't supposed to be as cool as the main one, but there was so much more they could have done here. Having the origins of the New Warriors was almost nice. It was a relatively new team at the time and some of the members weren't very well known and nice background could have been stellar. Sadly, it wasn't. Sure, we got a synopsis of these guys, but nothing really jumped out and said, "And that's why you should care about me." Because, in the end, I didn't care about any of them. Had they focused on one or two of the really interesting ones (Night Thrasher and Speedball, maybe) then I could see getting sucked in and wanting to know more. As it is, I don't have any particular desire to check out the regular series.
On the whole, it's not half bad; I wish they would have done more for the characters, though. I'll just read it for the Kings of Pain arc.

No more wifi only!!!
I always really enjoyed using this app, it is easy to navigate, I have no playback issues and it's crashed once in the several months I have used it. My only problem with the app was the wifi only restriction, something that really limited our use of the app outside the house. I loved to see this morning when I went to update and saw they removed the wifi only!! That was the only thing holding me back from a 5 star review, and as soon as I tested that it worked as described, I wrote this immediately after. Great app!
Finally this app is useful with the addition of streaming via your data plan.
One of my favorite places for using this app is at the gym while doing cardio (anything to distract me while doing cardio is good) but the gym's crappy WiFi made it impossible to get through a movie. AT&T's LTE service is 1000 times better than the gym's WiFi so now I can use this again. Look for a slimmer me in the future!
Wifi requirement gone!
Removing the wifi requirement has made great improvements on how/when I can use this app.
Unfortunately, it is not working well. The audio stream continues perfects, but the video will randomly start from the beginning. Further, this app crashed my phone and forced a restart.
Additionally, the entire video will download, but the app will report that it cannot continue until the connection improves. If the video has downloaded, what is keeping the video from functioning?
