Many women are unaware of problems with their partners when it comes to causes of erectile dysfunction. Male sexual arousal is an intricate process involving the brain, hormones, emotions, nerves, muscles, and blood vessels. If something affects any of these systems — or the delicate balance among them — erectile dysfunction can result.
That is why male enhancement is a great tool in any stage of a relationship. Men can be confident that the sexually desired performance level is available, no matter what problems may occur on any level of the male system.
David's,llc. offers you a closer look at erectile dysfunction and some of its common causes. To begin, let's look at the anatomy of an erection. The penis contains two tube sponge-like structures that run the length, parallel to each tube that carries semen and urine. When a man becomes sexually aroused, nerve impulses cause blood flow to the penis. This sudden rush of blood expands the sponge-like structures and produces an erection by straightening and stiffening the penis. During continued sexual arousal, the higher rate of blood flow into the penis is restricted. This reduces the blood flow out of the penis, keeping it firm. Ejaculation is usually the point at which blood drains out of the spongy tissue.
The anatomy of the male body is so complex that not only can sexual dysfunction occur due to physical health issues but to psychological issues as well. While thoughts and emotions do affect getting an erection, erectile dysfunction is most often the result of something physical. Men with chronic health problems often have the side effects of medication causing erectile dysfunction. Heart disease, clogged blood vessels (atherosclerosis),high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome are all physical causes of erectile dysfunction. Other causes include tobacco use, alcoholism, other forms of drug abuse, treatments for prostate cancer, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, hormonal disorders such as low testosterone (hypogonadism), Peyronie's disease, and surgeries or injuries that affect the pelvic area or spinal cord. In some cases, erectile dysfunction is one of the first signs of an underlying medical or psychological problem.
Psychological causes of erectile dysfunction are the body's way of reacting to the brain's key role in sexual wellness. These can include depression, anxiety, stress, fatigue, and poor communication or conflict with your partner. Consult our free sexual advice page and address any problems that might arise.
The physical and psychological causes of erectile dysfunction interact. For instance, a minor physical problem that slows sexual response may cause anxiety about maintaining an erection. The resulting anxiety can worsen erectile dysfunction. This is the anxiety that women in particular do not understand.
The powerful combination of organic components in David's,llc. products of male enhancers S-ROCK SUPER ROCK and POWER SURGE react, making the smooth muscles around the penis relax. This allows for much greater blood flow that creates the hard, full erection needed for penetration. This also helps create the confidence to have and maintain an erection. The success rate far exceeds any other erectile dysfunction medication available in drugstores.
Healthy living includes a healthy sex drive. Erectile dysfunction doesn't have to affect the performance with your partner. Many erectile dysfunction products on the market are scams that don't work. People who spend money today want a product that will perform to their expectations. That is why David's,llc. is now retailing a product that we feel works. After sampling many products that don't work, David's,llc. has been created to help the average individual be confident in choosing a product that targets health. With research and tested results we have found that the dietary supplements within this site that target multiple body functions can also be used to assist with erectile dysfunction.
Consumers deserve the opportunity to buy a product that performs to expectations. Today's economy forces them to be better informed on the product that they spend their money on.
As consumers, we have been taken advantage of over and over by products that don't work for erectile dysfunction. If you don't have health insurance to pay for erectile dysfunction pills, this is a alternative that might work for you as a sexual enhancer.
David's, llc. offers convenient alternatives to erectile dysfunction solutions offered by the pharmaceutical industry. These formulas of dietary supplements are affordable. Their ingredients when used as directed make David's,llc. offer of products, safe choices in dietary supplementation. We find that they also assist in problems associated with erectile dysfunction. Interested in healthy sexual enhancement? It's time to make purchases that economically make sense.
Men suffering from erectile dysfunction can use a combination of herbs targeting a variety of support systems in the human body. For example, Korean Ginseng, Horny Goat Weed, and Stinging Nettles can assist with toxic build up, digestion and eliminate problems associated with erectile dysfunction.
Be rock hard with long-lasting erections that give you climactic, orgasmic, tantric, sexual thrills. These dietary supplements S-Rock Super Rock and Power Surge have been successfully used as a substitute for prescription male enhancement products. They seem to not only have the structural compounds to get you hard, but also have an herbal formula that targets your libido, thus psychologically enhancing your orgasm to new heights.
Once your partner sees your state of climax, she will want to have some of what your having. We offer Viva Cream as a sexual aid for stimulating women. The mint formula penetrates the skin with powerful herbs that engorge the area with blood. The sensitive nerve endings are suddenly filled with pressure, increasing the sensitivity of the area. The continued sexual petting around the vagina and clitoris make climax a simple achievement.
Horny Goat Weed, Korean Ginseng, and L-Argenine are just a few of the compounds in these blends that target energy and digestion. We find that they also assist with problems associated with erectile dysfunction and male enhancement.
David's, llc. great choice in dietary supplements use Horny Goat Weed. Horny Goat Weed is named after a mythical animal that was said to achieve one hundred sexual climaxes a day. By chemical modification of icariin, the active ingredient purified from the Horny Goat Weed extract, scientists have obtained a derivative with activity similar to sildenafil (Viagara) with potentially fewer side effects.
This leads to the problems with male enhancements today. Companies dominate the industry through medical patents off of herbal ingredients and control products that should have many alternate combinations. So you will always see male enhancements come and go as control of our sex lives and erectile dysfunction continues.
Power Surge uses L-Arginine Alpha Ketolutarate, a form of arginine supplement. L-arginine is an amino acid the body uses to make nitric oxide. Nitric oxide signals smooth muscles surrounding blood vessels to relax, dilating the vessels and increasing blood flow, leading to a power surge when used in obtaining an erection. This dietary supplement focuses on digestion, but we find it to be a alternative natural male enhancement that you can count on.
If you're tired of false erectile dysfunction products with painful side effects, David's are the products for you. It's not a big risk purchase because you're spending half the amount of money that it would cost to sample other over the counter male enhancement products that won't work.

- Proposition 1: Majority approves state amendment to help improve roads
Former U.S. Rep. Francisco "Quico" Canseco of San Antonio has thrown his hat into the ring for the District 23 congressional seat currently occupied by Rep. Pete Gallego, a Democrat.
Steve Stockman, a Houston area congressman and a favorite of the tea party, will vie for the U.S. Senate seat occupied by Sen. John Cornyn, the No. 2 Republican in the chamber.
Canseco is seeking to again represent the congressional district that spans the greatest area in the United States. It stretches from San Antonio down to the Mexican border and west to El Paso County's Lower Valley.
In 2010, Canseco beat then-Rep.
The District 23 seat is considered Texas' most competitive and two other Republicans have filed to run in the primary - Robert Lowry, a San Antonio physician, and Will Hurd, a former CIA officer who was edged out by Canseco in the 2010 primary.
Despite his status as a former congressman, Canseco's fund-raising thus far has been soft, the congressional newspaper Roll Call reported last month.
In what was perhaps Monday's biggest surprise, Stockman told the conservative website World Net Daily that he filed to run for Cornyn's seat just minutes before the 6 p.
Stockman will try to repeat the success of Ted Cruz, Texas' junior senator, who last year ran to the right of Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and beat him in the primary.
Stockman faces a tough fight.
He has far less money than Cornyn and just after Stockman announced his candidacy, the conservative Club for Growth said it would not support Stockman in the primary. Also, the Texas Tribune reported Tuesday that Cornyn still has Gov. Rick Perry's staunch support.
Stockman returned to Congress last year after a 16-year hiatus. When he did, the Houston Chronicle reported, he violated several ethics rules by not making proper financial disclosures.
Stockman's earlier tenure, during the mid-1990s, also was controversial. In February 1996, Texas Monthly wrote a profile of him titled "Congressman Clueless."
El Pasoan Maxey Scherr hopes to face the winner of the GOP primary in next year's general election.
She first must beat four Democrats in the March Primary. Two of those candidates might not pose much of a challenge.
Kesha Rogers of Houston has called for President Barack Obama's impeachment and the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, according to the Dallas Morning News. Michael Fjetland, also of Houston, ran unsuccessfully in three GOP primaries against former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay before filing this year in the Democratic Senate Primary.

I have been a customer of Ed ad Danny's for over 20 years. They always complete their work promptly and have excellent prices. This shop is highly knowledgeable about the repair industry. They have done a lot of custom work to my car as well as the basic maintenance that it requires. I would not take my car to anybody else.
I have been going to ED'S Automotive Center for quite a few years now. I would not just any one else with my vehicles. i have a ford f250 power stroke disel p/u. It has a 6" lift with custom wheel flares / tires and rims.it has a dana 60 front axle w/ possi rear all custom exhuast and intake, Dan did all the custom work. i also have a 1990 toyota p/u. Ed & dan have been taking care of them both. they can do just about anything from an oil change to fabricating custom accessories for my trucks.
Ed's is SUPER! My 1990 Nissan Maxima was running rough at speed and idle. It was overheating and a lot of other problems not unusual in a car of this age. I took it to Ed's expecting a whopper of a bill. Ed personally did the work and big surprise to me, the price was way under what I expected. Ed fixed the problems by making the correct diagnosis the first time around and simply cleaned or adjusted. He did not just replace parts till he got it right as a lot of others would do. Ed didn't even replace the spark plugs. He cleaned and gapped them, the old fashioned way. He knows what he's doing and he has my trust.
I have been going to them for many years now and I think This shop is the best in the valley!! There customer service is great and they do all kids of work Along with any kind of car repair you need they also do car alarms and some custom stereos. I highly recommend Ed's Automotive center for any kind of Work you need done to your classic car or every day drivers they do it all.
let me tell you... driving a 20 year old will put a mechanic in your speed dial!
Ed's has always been real good to me. Sometimes it's just a matter of cleaning a filter i didn't know about, or cleaning electrical contacts and my car is fixed. FREE but then again, when i do shell out the bucks for replacement parts, the work is never revisited! Ed is real good with cleaning stuff, and Danny likes to replace stuff when cleaning it doesn't cut it anymore.
Needless to say, they always check to see if i can get by without spending money on my car because i'm a student and really shud be spending my money on a new car.
i love Ed and Danny, and would recommend their business for their honesty, professionalism, and experience with all types of cars. Everything from lifted trucks and muscle cars, to import and domestic.

|Why I Love Country Music
May. 11th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
I was never a big country music fan until a couple of years ago. We started driving to New Hampshire occassionally to recreate and the only available radio stations were country. I started listening to it and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was no longer (for the most part) the twangy stuff I remember from my youth but was enjoyable to listen to. In addition, the words of the songs were actually meaningful and were about real life events (both good and bad). And I have actually found myself getting teary eyed occassionally due to some of the songs (a clear sign of aging). I must now admit that I listen to country 75% of the time or more now and have really moved away from my old standby of top 40. The other 25% of my time is now taken with oldies (still love Elvis or Def Leppard) and classical music. Perhaps I am getting old afterall… Any other country fans out there?
What do you get when you play a country song backwards?
You get your house back. You get your truck back. You get your Wife back. You get your dog back……….
Yep – in fact there is a new song that is all about that from Rascal Flatts…
Yes! I discovered country music a few years ago. I don't listen to much of anything these days, but I enjoyed discovering country in my early 30's because:
Count me in as a secret country fan, too. I was brought to it for pretty much the same reason as jks.
GAC, Great American Country, is the only music channel available on the cable TV in our fitness center. (Basic MTV and VH1 don't play music anymore.)
I do like some of the newer 20- and 30-somethings with their new generation of country. But it's so new, that it seems almost a new genre, a fusion of country and pop.
Johnny Cash is about all I can stand.
I went on a business trip and my wife went with me to have a couple days break from the kids. As I worked she sat in the hotel room watching TV (and taking a quiet bath). Anyways I got back to the room that night and she was crying her eyes out. I was immediately wooried to what was wrong and what I could do to make it better. What tragedy had befallen her.
It turns out she had accidently come across the Country Music Video channel. Not normally a country fan she watched it for about 6 hours and had become enthralled with all the stories, including a lot which involved someones loved one dying at the end. For the 7 hour car ride home I got to hear all about them (like "He was walling her in the basement and then he realized he was on the wrong side of the wall!"). That has been two years and she is die hard country all the way now. At least it is better than the Barbara S she used to liste too.
I like Johnny Cash and some of the other outlaw country, and I don't mind a lot of the alt.country stuff out there. But I really can't stomach current country music any more than I can stomach current pop.
3. jks – yep agreed completely
4. Proud Daughter of Eve – it is funny how the many country fans out there are like alcoholics and hide it
5. Bookslinger – agreed that the new country is effectively a fusion – I like it. My favorites are Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Faith Hill
6. queuno – Cash is one of the few old twangy singers I like. You really should listen to the "new" country…
7. TStevens – Great story and absolutely better than Barbara S
8. Sam B. – well if you don't like pop you won't like newer country
Sugarland rocks. Allison Krauss, but then you have Robert Plant too. Awesome.
I lived with a couple of other girls in a small house the last half of my senior year in high school. I worked and went to school. We were, of course, poor as church mice, but we had a record player and I think, three records. The one we played over and over was Jim Reeves. I still know all the words to his songs.
I love Kenny Chesney's Lucky Old Sun. Not all the songs, but most of them.
I fully expect you to do the following now after your confession.
1. Buy a pickup truck, deer rifle, coonhound
2. trade in your G's for "wifebeaters"
3. Adopt a southern twang and hillbilly swagger
4. Start drinking in honky tonks
And thats just a start :)
It didn't suck like old school country.
This is literally painful to read. Please define old school country.
Popular country today has the following things going for it:
1. Most of the artists don't write their own music, so they can pick and choose songs to record.
lets see:
1 – I have a Chrysler Pacifica, a water squirter, and a one year old who acts like a puppy!
2 – or I could alter them… :)
3 – how about a Revehe, Mass twang?
4 – I do that all the time :)
I'd like country music more openly but my husband doesn't share my interest in it. I get tired of the ribbing from him and my friend (who's from Texas! Really).
First country song I remember liking: "Stand Me Up By The Jukebox (When I'm Gone)." It made me laugh. :)
I heart Dixie Chicks. It doesn't get any better than "Goodbye, Earl."
PDOE – that is a pretty good song. What a Texan who does not appreciate country – must be from Austin…
Emily – that is a good song – it always makes me chuckle. Poor Earl.
PDOE, the song is "Prop Me Up Beside the Jukebox (When I Die)," by Alan Jackson. Many of his songs tend to be very sentimental, so he is a particular favorite of mine. I can't listen to his song, "Remember When," when my wife is around or I end up bawling like a baby. It's the story of out life, so far.
But, my tastes are eclectic; I like both kinds of music: country and western.
Sorry, it's not Alan Jackson. The song is by Joe Diffie. Their voices are similar, but the Diffie's songs aren't as sentimental.
The other day we were driving and my wife turned the radio to a country station, which usually will lead to a disagreement between us, since I can't stand the stuff. And this song "Live Like You Were Dying" came on. I listened for a while and then I turned to her and said, "If I was going to live like I was dying, wouldn't that mean that I would be coughing up blood and writhing in extreme pain? Why would anyone want to live like they were in the agony of impending death?" She remained silent for a while, and then turned off the radio.
So my unsolicited advice to you all if you want someone to stop listening to whatever kind of music they are listening to: analyze the hell out of the lyrics. It makes the music much less fun.
will confess that I did a double-take on the word "recreate" – usually that shows up in noun form. thought at first it was
"We started driving to New Hampshire occassionally to procreate"
Jimbob, probably also a good recipe to make your marriage less fun.
Devyn, shocked to read this! What a great post. I love it.
"Everything is Fine" by Josh Turner
Darius Rucker also has some classic sounding stuff.
Susan – I don't mind the cheesiness – it seems to grow on me over time.
17. Bull Moose I really love "Remember When,†as well
19. jimbob – ouch…
20. fda – I don't kiss (or procreate) and tell
21. skl – thanks life changes you doesn't it. There is a country song that talks about how "tough little boys grow up to be big babies" because they cry more often once they have kids – that I can relate to.
I can enjoy country-inflected rock – the Eagles, Jackson Browne, etc. I can listen to some Johnny Cash songs.
But for the most part I can't stand country music.
I feel just a touch of guilt about that – because country music is very American and even Ray Charles appreciated country music – but on the few occasions I even try, I just can't understand the appeal.
Oh I have sinned so greatly, Brother Brigham, Brother Young
And the rest of the song is even better.
Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans Check out the Mother Truckers and Hayes Carll (She Left Me for Jesus is a particular favorite)
I like country music. It would be hard to be in the south and not appreciate it. I like 'Jesus and Mama' by Confederate Railroad. There isn't a 'Jesus and Mama' video on Youtube by Confederate Railroad, but there is a nice cover by James Dupre. James is a Paramedic in Louisanna who sings in his kitchen with his guitar. He has a lovely voice. Enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMst6yi0yPY
Never been able to do much Country music, especially the new stuff. I can usually guess most of the words that are coming up.
I do like the outlaw country- Johnny Cash is unbelievable, especially his latest "American" records with various covers of latest hits.
Newer country is just overproduced, twangy pop to me, and I don't like twang, and I don't like pop.
I'm a sucker for unique sounds, songs, and songwriters.
"Jimbob, probably also a good recipe to make your marriage less fun."
You know, it's remarkable, but that's what my wife keeps saying too. Have you two been talking?
Marriage is supposed to be fun?
24. danithew – if you don't like any pop then you won't like more modern country. But it is certainly an American icon – makes you feel better when you drive your Japanese made car :)
25. bloggernacleburner – now those bring tears to me eyes (of laughter)
26. JA Benson – I would guess if you did not like Country in the South you are in danger…
27. nasamomdele – yep if you don't like pop you won't like new Country, but I really like Cash too – he did some good stuff
Great post. I tend to prefer the old-school, hard-luck country. Like Johnny Cash: "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die" or "Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds, I took a shot of cocaine, and I shot my woman down. I went right home, and I went to bed. I stuck that lovin' 44 beneath my head." Them's good lyrics!
Johnny Cash and twang do not exist in the same universe.
#30Devyn, I wouldn't know about danger, but you'd just be sick of hearing it. :)
I was thinking danger socially – It may be one of the few things that could offend a Southerner…
Well depends on what you said. if you were careful and did not call Johnny Cash a girl (thems fightin' words), and just said, " I don't like country". All that would happen is they would talk about you behind your back and say, "Bless his/her heart. They's just a yankee". You'd probably get forgiven for it.
Cash covering NIN is about my style…
NYC used to have a country station, based in Manhattan. They even sponsored donkey baseball games somewhere out on Staten Island, near Fresh Kills. That has been a while though.
MAC – Boston has one country station and on cloudy days I can get one from Rhode Island and one from New Hampshire. Speaking of Donkey basketball, my high school use to have a fundraiser in which students played teachers in Donkey basketball – it was loads of fun
Great song. He does a U2 cover that is incredible, too.
I don't want Southerners to forgive me.
#40 danithew- Well bless your heart. :)
Devyn, I wrote a similar post over at M* about a year or so ago. If I weren't so lazy, I'd go find it and link it.
Anyway, I have found that most people who hate country music have never really listened to the lyrics. The old "my truck broke down, my wife left me, I went to the honkytonk with my dog" stereotype about country just isn't true. Most of the songs these days are about everyday concerns, loving your family, romance, etc. What could be bad about that?
Geoff – I found it – thanks – and I agree with you entirely!
This piece by Darius Rucker is representative of the new style of country that I like:
"It won't by like this for long"
The lyrics of this song are almost Mormon-like in its family orientation. Heartwarming without being too sentimental.
I like David Allen Coe, he used to live in a Hearse in my hometown for a while and later lived in a cave.
I really can't stand modern country music.

Siri to integrate with third-party apps for iWatch, report says
updated 12:46 pm EST, Wed March 5, 2014
May solve smartwatch interface problems
Apple is working to expand Siri's third-party app integration with the iWatch in mind, a new report says. Siri already interacts with some third-party apps, like OpenTable or Wolfram Alpha, but in every case so far the companies have had to forge deals with Apple. The new scheme would allow third-party integration without an expressly signed agreement.
That could be especially important for the iWatch, since widespread voice control would make the device more practical to use, much like Google Glass. A recurring problem with smartwatches is the limited space for a touchscreen or even dedicated buttons. If Siri was able to handle most if not all of an iWatch app's functions, some apps might be usable even in the middle of intense exercise.
The Information also states that Apple is developing a way of dynamically adjusting content on a device's display. If a person began running, for instance, that might register in a device's motion sensors, and automatically launch a fitness tracking app. Similar but more rudimentary support for this concept can be found in the iPhone 5s; the M7 motion co-processor can detect if a person is walking or driving, for instance, and change directions in iOS Maps accordingly.

MAX Frees Chain Gang in 'Mug Shot' Video: Watch
MAX has released the O Brother, Where Art Thou-influenced music video for his newest single "Mug Shot," and RyanSeacrest.com has the exclusive premiere.
In the visual directed by Daniel Karp, the 21-year-old frees a chain gang and holds a group of sheriffs hostage at gunpoint. While flexing his muscular vocals and driving several breathy falsettos, the New York-based singer taunts the probation officers with his explosive dance number and tells them to "pose for your mug shot."
"I've always wanted to write my own kind of dance song, and when we went down this road of finding all these criminal metaphors, 'this is a stick up,' 'put your hands up,' and 'pose for your mug shot,' I loved how it was shaping up," the pop-soul singer tells RyanSeacrest.com exclusively. "That's sort of how 'Mug Shot' became 'Mug Shot.' The song for me is really about giving over to the music and having a great time and not caring what anybody thinks."
The track — available on iTunes now — is also featured on the soundtrack for the upcoming Veronica Mars movie starring Kristen Bell due out on March 14.
MAX will also co-star in the long-awaited NBC television series, Crisis, about a group of students with powerful parents who are ambushed and used as blackmail by a mysterious group of operatives. The drama-thriller premieres on March 16.
"I play Ian Martinez, a recluse visual artist who goes from good guy kind of gone bad," he reveals. "I love shows like Breaking Bad and I love characters that are so drastic you see them evolve, and I feel like there's a lot of characters in Crisis that are just like that."

"Crime and Punishment… is a novel not only about the extremes of evil the criminal inflicts on others, but also about people's unlimited goodness, a goodness which can save the criminal." Fyodor Dostoevsky's protagonist in this novel, Raskolnikov, is greatly impacted by the encouraging sentiments of many of the other characters, which includes Pulcheria, Dounia, Razumihin, and Sonia. Additionally, Dostoevsky's writing style includes the use of "doubles," which ultimately portrays the two sides of Raskolnikov: good and evil. The aforementioned individuals are essentially Raskolnikov's positive doubles whose love becomes Raskolnikov's savior and eventually leads him to redemption as seen in the epilogue (Karyakin 111).

August Technology based in Minnesota introduced the NSX-80 inspection system in 1997. The system soon attracted the interest of major chipmakers in the industry due to its advantages over manual inspection. The company sold its 100th NSX System in August 2000 and strengthened its foothold in automated macro inspection.
In 2006, August Technology and Rudolph Technologies merged and the newly formed company has introduced new NSX models to fulfill the growing demands of complicated inspection requirements of semiconductor mass producers in the back-end packaging field.
Every new NSX model has been engineered to constantly decrease production costs, while enhancing production outputs by providing new functionalities to monitor LED wafers, MEMS devices, microbumps and wafer-level packaging.
Rudolph Technologies secured the first order for its NSX 320 Inspection System, the latest member of the NSX portfolio, in June 2011. The NSX 320 System, a result of the company's vast experience and research and development capabilities, has been upgraded for sophisticated packaging processes that employ through silicon vias to link several die in one package.
According to Gartner Dataquest, Rudolph Technologies is the market leader in semiconductor wafer-level packaging inspection since 2005 due to the wide usage of its NSX System as well as its wafer scanner inspection system to its back-end family.

Czech Republic, Slovakia: Whipping Girls and Other Easter Traditions
Written by Elia Varela Serra On 23 March 2008 @ 22:17 pm | 47 Comments
In Arts & Culture, Czech Republic, Eastern & Central Europe, Religion, Slovakia, Travel, Weblog, Women & Gender
Easter is a very important celebration both in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, called Velikonoce – from Veliké noci or Great Nights. Although the religious connotations of Easter were suppressed under the communist regime, nowadays Czechs and Slovaks are again aware of the strong Christian background of Easter, although they regard it as mostly fun times. Many traditions are still observed, especially in villages. Several bloggers have been describing some of them.
Easter [2] by Nic Hyland [3], used under a Creative Commons Lincense.
Green Thursday
The Thursday before Easter is the day of the last supper, when Jesus Christ feasted with the apostles on lamb with bread and wine. Because of that, it is usual to bake lamb for Easter, but now real lamb often gets replaced with gingerbread lamb replica. The Journeys of Captain Oddsocks explains that Green Thursday is so called "because of the long green robes worn in church and the spinach and cabbage traditionally eaten on the day." He also describes the customs of the day [4]:
… customs include the boys' game Chasing Judas, and the baking of twisted spiral buns representing serpents, the symbols of betrayal. In some villages there are processions led by a captive Judas in a straw suit which is ceremonially burnt at the end of the day. When sprinkled into a clean jug of water, the ashes of Judas were believed to have special powers including the abilities to guard against fire and protect the health of livestock for the coming year.
Easter Sunday
The Journeys of Captain Oddsocks describes Easter Sunday [4] as "the big day":
The day that Christ rose from the grave, the day of new life cleansed of suffering and victorious over death. The morning is for attending church services, (the bells having returned from Rome) and the early afternoon is set aside for a great feast. After the meal it's time to visit relatives, and in some places to ride in a horseback procession through the countryside with blessed twigs to ensure fertile fields for the year ahead. While the men and boys are out gallivanting around on horses, girls are at home decorating eggs in preparation for the following day.
Egg Time [6] by Semmi [7], used with permission.
Easter eggs are called kraslice, from the old Czech word krásný, meaning red, which was the most common colour used for dying. The designs are usually very intricate and, as The Foreigner's Guide to Living in Slovakia points out [8], "some eggs are even decorated by using a drill and hollowing out portions of the shell". In fact, the techniques used to hand-paint and decorate them are truly an art form, and there are even competitions for the best kraslice and a museum dedicated to the craft.
During the weeks preceding Easter, Czech and Slovak cities have street markets selling kraslice, gingerbread lambs and other Easter items, such as the one in Prague's Old Town Square, photographed [9] by My Czech Republic Blog.
Red Monday
Easter Monday practices, involving boys pouring water over girls and lightly whipping them with braided branches, are the most controversial of Easter traditions. As The Foreigner's Guide to Living in Slovakia explains, "if you are not Slovak and didn't grow up around these traditions, you might find them at best—odd, at worst—barbaric."
What? [11] by Laura Appleyard [12], used under a Creative Commons license.
So what happens exactly on Easter Monday? The Czech Daily World explains the pomlázka whipping tradition [13]:
Throughout the day men (usually in groups) visit their female relatives and friends and spank them with special whips. […] These whips are hand-made from willow rods, the length ranges from 50 centimeters to two meters. There are ribbons at the end. There used to be a tradition that women would add their own ribbons so the whip would say how many women the particular man has already visited but this seems to fizzle out. And women are chased around (if they decide to make it interesting or to play along), or they just stand motionless and the male visitors would spank her butt. However, it should not hurt. Or at least not throughout the whole procedure.
The Foreigner's Guide to Living in Slovakia explains [14] why willow branches are used to make the pomlázka (which is called korbáč in Slovak): "It is the first tree that 'wakes' in spring and, according to folk tradition, the fertility and vitality from the branches were thought to flow into the woman during this act."
Czech Mate Diary explains [15] the exchange taking place during the whipping:
If you were one of the first houses the mob visited, you were lucky: the guys are still kind of sober, kind of polite and kind of mellow. You let them into the living room – or better – just a hallway, give them some refreshments, offer them more vodka and let them "spank" you. If they still have their egg baskets, you would also stuff couple of eggs in them and if you are lucky they leave afterwards.
Pomlázka whipping in the village of Hříchovice [17], near Pilsen.
Tischler's in Prague posted an article [18] from the Prague Daily Monitor on an American woman's reaction to the tradition:
…men and boys […] go door to door singing Easter carols, demanding "treats" (eggs, chocolate, liquor, or a peck on the cheek) and the right to beat the women with their pomlázka whips for good luck. While my female students said they generally enjoyed decorating Easter eggs and preparing Easter sweets, none seemed too fond of the pomlazka or gendered traditions.
[…] Being both female and a foreigner, I presented a problematic situation. Should our hostess offer me chocolate eggs and liquor as she did her male friends? Should she offer me nothing? In the end, I was given a warm welcome and a glass of red wine.
In addition to whipping, Easter Monday also involves dousing. According to The Journeys of Captain Oddsocks [4], in some regions the girls get their revenge on Tuesday when it's their turn with the whips, while in other regions they return the rejuvenation with a bucket of ice-cold water. In Slovakia, however, it seems that it's the girls who get watered on Easter Monday. The Foreigner's Guide to Living in Slovakia explains the ritual [14]:
…it's customary for the girls and women to stay at home while the boys and men, usually dressed in nicer clothing and sometimes even in kroj – traditional costume, go from the residence of one relative to another, bringing greetings and intending to oblievat' – to "water" the female relatives present. Water is the symbol of life and the pouring of water is a gesture meant to bestow year long health and beauty. Some use a spray of perfume instead of water, or both.
Isn't that nice? The women folk get watered and whipped while the men get fed and given drinks, and the little boys are given money or chocolate in exchange for their work of the day. Just so you know, being watered can range from having a teaspoon of warm tap water dribbled over you (my personal experience), to a bucket of frigid well water thrown at you.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Fire crews in the Pacific Northwest are getting a little help from Kentucky fire crews.
Crews are in Oregon now, stationed in the mountains of the Ochoco National Forest.
"They are working out of that camp to provide assistance to put out those fires," said Paul Finke with the U.S. Forest Service.
Finke's group is made up of 100 people from Kentucky and Virginia, adding an extra hand for local crews to put out multiple fires in the region, including fires started by lightning just Tuesday night.
As of Wednesday, his group is on day two, of a 14-day assignment.
Officials say the fires are burning with an intensity and size that's unusual for this time of year. Which could mean multiple trips out west.
"Some of these same people can run around after a few days home and come right back out," said Finke.
Oregon and Washington have declared states of emergency because of the fires.

Mailbag: Has one team ever played a double-header against two different teams?
Reader Neal W. writes in to ask:
"Has there ever been a doubleheader where the home team played two different teams?"
I don't know the answer--I'm hoping another reader will.
But it does remind me of looking at team schedules as a kid and often being fooled that there was a double-header against two different teams. Back in the days when there still were scheduled double-headers, it wasn't unusual to look at a Sunday on the calendar and see two games scheduled. Occasionally I saw two games where the opponents were different and got surprised. Eventually I realized that the calendars were actually showing two different Sundays for a month that ended on a Sunday or a Monday. They did this to save space rather than print an entire extra week at the bottom that would be mostly empty.
But back to the question at hand--does anybody know?

St. Louis Cardinals, September 13, 1951
Game 1: Beat NY Giants 6-4
Game 2. Lost to Boston Braves 0-2
This has probably happened other times, but this was the first one that I spotted.

Reminds me of a game I heard about in which I think the Yankees, Giants, and Dodgers all played each other in one game, with one team rotating out every half-inning. Obviously it was an exhibition of some sort. I don't know when it happened or why.
And the Yankees and Mets have played a doubleheader with one game at each team's home park on at least one occasion.
Chris Says:
April 28th, 2011 at 10:32 pm
Can't remember the details but I'm certain this happened in the last 5 years. It was late September and I'm pretty sure the Angels were involved.

The Indians did it a decade ago. I knew I remembered it vaguely, but it wasn't hard to Wikipedia it and find out it was in 2000.
C'mon, guys- if I can answer it, it's too easy a question for this site.

The Yankees/Dodgers/Giants game was an exhibition game during World War 2 to help raise funds for the war.

New Yorkers remember this unique(?) doubleheader from 2008:
The Mets & Yanks played a split doubleheader in 2 different parks.
The Mets won the opener in Shea, 15-6, as Carlos Delgado emerged from a terrible slump with 2 HRs and 9 RBI.
The Yanks took the nightcap in the Bronx, 9-0, with Sidney Ponson (!) pitching 6 scoreless innings in his Yankee debut, 3 days after being released by Texas.

Only recently, I learned about that doubleheader that the Indians played in 2000. But I had never heard about such a thing happening before. Now I see that it has happened on other occasions.
Doesn't this happen sometimes in spring training, too? Or am I just confusing it with split squad games, where some of the players stay home and play one team while others take to the road and play another one? With 15 teams each now in Arizona and Florida, somebody's either got to have a bye/off day or play a split squad or intrasquad game each day in each circuit.
(I don't know how close all of the Arizona teams are to each other, but in Florida, the teams that train on the east/Atlantic coast rarely play those that train on the west/Gulf coast, at least while they're still in Florida. The ones in between, such as any teams that may be in the Orlando/Kissimmee area, may be able to get to either coast. Depending on how many groups of teams there are in the Grapefruit and possibly Cactus League, there may be more groupings of odd numbers of teams that mandate creative scheduling.)

On September 25, 2000, the Cleveland Indians hosted a doubleheader against two different teams. The September 10 game against the Chicago White Sox in Cleveland had been rained out. With no common days off for the remainder of the season and both teams in a post-season race, the teams agreed to play a day game in Cleveland on the same day that the Indians were to host the Minnesota Twins for a night game. The Indians defeated the White Sox 9-2 in the first game while the Twins defeated the Indians 4-3 in the second.

Mets & Yanks, July 8, 2000 or June 28, 2003?
Sep 7, 1903, Superbas & Giants?
John Autin Says:
April 29th, 2011 at 12:20 am
@12, Jeff J -- Well done. Perhaps I forgot those other 2 split-stadium doubleheaders because the Mets were swept each time....
Max Flack and Cliff Heathcote. They were traded for each other between games of a Cards / Cubs double-dip on May 30, 1922.
Also, in the early days when blue laws were prevalent, sometimes teams played double headers in non-blue law states that were close by. The Cleveland Spiders in 1899 used to travel a lot to Louisville to play the Reds and the Colonels on Sundays - and they also went to St. Louis to play the Perfectos on split doubleheaders.
andyr Says:
April 29th, 2011 at 1:48 am
It happened a number of times in 1899:
June 11- LOU 2 CIN 8 and CLE 1 CIN 10
June 25- NY 5 STL 3 and CLE 3 STL 1
July 9- CLE 4 STL 11 and LOU 4 STL 11
Aug. 6- LOU 6 CIN 9 and STL 2 CIN 4
Aug. 20- CLE 7 CHI 8 and LOU 5 CHI 0
Sep. 3- CLE 1 CIN 3 and LOU 7 CIN 6
Sep. 10- CLE 2 CIN 10 and LOU 7 CIN 8
Oct. 8- CLE 0 CHI 13 and LOU 3 CHI 7
Oct. 15- LOU 9 CHI 8 and STL 0 CHI 7
Cleveland and St. Louis were under common ownership that year. The owners put most of the good players in St. Louis, and turned the Cleveland Spiders into basically a road team after June, hence a W-L of 20-134, and the Spiders were folded in 1900...

Not the same thing, but there have also been three recorded tripleheaders in major league history:
Reds beat the Pirates 13-4 and 7-3 before losing 6-0 in 6 innings at Forbes Field on October 2, 1920, the final day of the season.
The other two were 9/1/1890 (NL-Brooklyn vs. Pittsburgh) and 9/7/1896 (NL-Baltimore vs. Louisville).
John Autin Says:

@15, Milhouse -- er, Smed -- What is the basis for this statement? "The Cleveland Spiders in 1899 used to travel a lot to Louisville to play the Reds and the Colonels on Sundays."
The schedule listed on B-R shows only one "side trip" to Louisville (Sunday, May 21). There is also one such trip to Cincinnati (Sunday, June 11) and one to St. Louis (Sunday, June 25).
I do sort of wonder if the listed schedule is entirely accurate. For instance, it shows them playing in Cleveland on Saturday, June 24; playing Sunday in St. Louis, about 500 miles away, and then playing back in Cleveland on Monday. Was it even possible in 1899 to make a 500-mile train trip in less than 24 hours?
The most salient fact about the 1899 Spiders, of course, is that they were a "dead team walking" -- their roster having been gutted by mass transfer to the owner's other team, the fans stopped coming out; and from July 3 to the end of the season, the Spiders played 85 of their last 93 games on the road.

I also see a weird incident Sep 14, 1971, Senators/Indians
Doug Says:
April 29th, 2011 at 3:16 pm
Joel Youngblood is, I believe, the only player to play for different teams (Mets and Expos) in two games in two cities on the same day (Aug 4, 1982). He picked up a hit in each game, both times against future HOF pitchers (Jenkins and Carlton). I remember watching the Expos game on TV.
John Autin Says:
April 29th, 2011 at 4:03 pm
@19, Jeff J -- Wow -- a 20-inning nightcap!
(Is that what you meant by "a weird incident"?)
The game took 6:15 in front of 2,639 fans. Each side used 9 pitchers. The 18 pitchers who each faced at least 1 batter was a record for the game-searchable era that lasted until 2006.
Jeff J. Says:
April 29th, 2011 at 4:05 pm
It is one of several incidents that are claimed to have started in one park & ended in another. Maybe a suspended game finished later?
statboy Says:
April 29th, 2011 at 4:37 pm
"Has one team ever played a double-header against two different teams?"
No, because a double-header is when you play the SAME team twice. So, in order to play a double-header against two different teams, one team would have to play four games.
Doug Says:
April 29th, 2011 at 5:01 pm
@21, @22.
Not clear from the box that the game was suspended, but it seems likely. It appears this DH was a twi-nighther as the first game is recorded under Weather as "Night". So, adding nine hours to (perhaps) a 6:00 pm start would mean finishing around 3:00am. And, I seem to recall the AL had a 1:00am curfew for many years.
Also, the visiting Senators had to travel after the game (albeit only to Detroit) for a game the next day, so they may have had to suspend for that reason, even if not for a curfew.
Good thing this was in September with the expanded rosters. Both teams certainly made good use of their available players.

@24 "Good thing this was in September with the expanded rosters. Both teams certainly made good use of their available players."
The Apr 28, 2008 O's/Chisox game wasn't.
Doug Says:
April 29th, 2011 at 5:15 pm
Nor the May 31, 1964 Giants/Mets DH (23 innings in the second game).
Doug Says:
April 29th, 2011 at 5:22 pm
This brings to mind the 1992 Dodgers and the LA race riots that spring. The riots forced cancellation of an entire Dodgers/Expos series. Those games were made up in July the next time the Expos were in LA, with 3 consecutive double-headers in 3 days. I recall that the NL granted a special roster expansion just for that series, so the teams could bring up a few more arms.
Cheese Says:
April 29th, 2011 at 5:23 pm
Bonus points for the triple-headers in pre-lights stadiums. Although, games were a lot faster then without pitching changes, dragging the infield, etc.

Not only did Cleveland have to play that doubleheader against two different teams, they had to play back-to-back doubleheaders in Boston a few days before, with a three game trip to Kansas City after that:
Wednesday: doubleheader in Boston
Thursday: doubleheader in Boston
Friday: at Kansas City
Saturday: at Kansas City
Sunday: at Kansas City
Monday: home for doubleheader against Chicago and Minnesota
All of this was in the midst of finishing the season with 23 games in 20 days, not a single day off. That is a ROUGH stretch of baseball. The Tribe went 14-9 in that stretch and finished one game out of the wildcard.

I seem to remember that at some during my childhood (late 70's/early 80's), the Giants and Braves finished three games in one day, with a suspended game being finished prior to a scheduled doubeheader.
Probably just a faulty memory, though...
Stu Baron Says:

@8 John Autin: You had the results right, but not the ballparks. The Mets won the afternoon game, 15-6, at Yankee Stadium, and the Yankees won the nightcap, 9-0, at Shea.
John Autin Says:
May 1st, 2011 at 12:12 am
@32, Stu Baron -- Thanks for the correction.
There's a funny story behind my mistake, which shows how hard it is to correct an erroneous memory even when the truth is proven to us. I had remembered that doubleheader being played in the order I wrote, i.e., wrong. But before writing that post, I looked up the box scores and found that my memory had it backwards. I was so confounded by the discovery that I even went to another source to confirm. So, now I was quite aware of the right order of the parks -- yet I still wrote it wrong, the way I originally remembered it!

fair point that
what exactly would indicate whether or not you belong if results don't?
for the same reason that winning the lottery is irrelevant to whether buying the ticket was a good decision.
If I buy a winning lottery ticket, it was a good deciision to buy it.
it really, really, really wasn't. The average return on a lottery ticket is something like -70 cents on the dollar. It's a horrible gamle to take, and buying one is always a bad decision. If you win, you made a bad decision and got lucky. That doesn't mean you didn't make a bad decision. It just means you got lucky.
Hi, turd in the punch bowl.
If I can afford to buy a lottery ticket, and doing so gives me the pleasure of fantasizing about owning a 50 foot yacht, it wasn't a bad decision -- it was a harmless diversion.
Why don't you go to a casino and lecture people at the $5 blackjack tables about how they're wasting their lives.
I've bought a couple myself. My beef isn't with lottery tickets at all (or any other kind of gambling, I'm a huge poker player). My beef is just with people who think you can figure out whether something was a good decision by how it turned out.
You are process-oriented. Nurds often are. Me? I'm results-oriented. Why? It's because I have never seen a perfect process.
I think his point is correct. If you have it 4th and 16 on your own 30 with one minute left and a 2-point lead, lining up in a power I and running up the middle is an objectively stupid decision even if the back somehow breaks a long gainer.
Process can be second-guessed.
Results don't lie.
Lottery tix may be fun, but ask any financial planner if they are a good investment plan.
Somehow, I don't think that's what they mean by diversify...
But what if I play scratch-offs, pull-tabs, mega millions, keno, daily3&5, and classico lotto? Does it still not count as diversifying?
Depending on what lottery you play, and what the payouts can be, it is not always a terrible decision to buy a lottery ticket.
At certain points, when a jackpot grows to a big enough value (for Mega Millions/Powerball it's generally around $300 million) the expected value of each individual ticket assuming only one winner will be greater than one. At that point, it is worth it to play the lottery.
But in every other case, yes, its usually a bad decision to play the lottery. It serves as a transfer of wealth from average people to a lucky/smart few and the state.
Do you really want to say that if the payout was only 30 million dollars that it would be a bad decision, but with 300 million as a payout it would be a good decision?
It's just a accounting way of determining whether or not it was a good, or rational, decision. If the odds are that if you made that decision "infinitly many" times, you end up with an "accounting" loss, with a return of a fraction of a dollar for every dollar. If you get joy out of the idea that may win the lottery (Which I'm pretty sure everyone does), then in the end you could have an economic profit, which would make it a good decision. It just depends on how much value you place on it.
The whole damn discussion is falling prey to the fallacy that they try to stamp out in Econ 101 - namely, that money is the only driving force behind a decision. It can still be a rational decision even if it's not the one that maximizes your money.
Your basic point is correct, though you shouldn't muddy it by "assuming only 1 person wins". There's an article in the Journal of Econoimc Perspectives from awhile back that showed that it is actuarially advantageous to buy a lottery ticket when the pot gets big but not too big. I don't have the article in front of me to say exactly what those points were. And of course, they may have evolved over time. That still doesn't make it smart to buy a ticket as you should consider risk preferences too, and as the returns are highly skeweed, the expected return is not the only relevant statistic. That said, Gotlieb is still a cocksucker.
AAB - this is probably the 5th time I've seen you use that lottery analogy, and almost every time you've used it wrong.
I agree with your premise that making a bad decision that ended up working out doesn't mean it was actually a good decision. However, that analogy doesn't work here. In the lottery example, there is no skill involved, it is pure probability. Just because you beat the odds doesn't mean you made a good decision. This I agree with. In other words, you can't be "good" at playing the lottery - you are just as good or bad at it as everyone else who plays.
However, Michigan beating Tennessee involved a lot more than luck. The result of this game was not a coin flip, it was two teams actually playing basketball against each other. Michigan did not luck into a win - we were unequivocally better than Tennessee. We beat them in every aspect of the game, and did so in excess. In this instance, our results did show that it was justified to put us into the tournement, that we "belong."
Stop using that lottery analogy is you're going to use it wrong. If someone on this board says "I drove home drunk and because I was drunk I got lost and while I was lost I found a bag of money on the ground so it was a good decision to drive home drunk" then you can use your stupid analogy. But in an instance where people say "Michigan was told they didn't belong in the NCAA tourney but then they blew the fuck out of a pretty good Tennessee team so they belong" your analogy really doesn't work.
So what you're saying is AAB is as useless as Gottlieb or.....actually he is. Turd in the punch bowl was the perfect representation of him. We won and someone who said Michigan didn't deserve to get a bye and should've played in Dayton can't at least admit he was somewhat wrong. He's a damn weasel. If you don't believe me just turn on ESPN and look at him.
THIS is a conversation you wouldn't see on most team's blogs. Let's just agree that we are all nerds and let it go. I think I would rather talk about politics.
So if we win the tournament then the results still wouldn't indicate that we belong.
Gottlieb should stick to stealing people's credit cards.
So I don't get to watch ESPN, or any other sports related news outlet since I have little kids and the T.V. is perpetually on Nickelodeon. Who is this Doug Gottlieb and why should I care what he tweets?
we belonged because of our resume throughout the season, but he's not wrong. You can only judge these things based on the resume of the team at the time the selection was made. Our resume was clearly good enough to get in, and he's an idiot if he thinks otherwise (not sure he does). But us winning doesn't prove we should have been an 8 seed any more than VCU beating USC proves VCU deserved to get in.
Everyone really, really, really underestimates the variance in one game NCAA Tourney samples.
If it isn't results, I wonder what it is that does indicate whether or not a team belongs.
Maybe he should turn off his phone.
by quite a lot.
Woah, let's show some respect. Stupidity is a terrible, incurable affliction.
Doug Gottlieb is the biggest idiot of all time. He is King Idiot.
AAB = Gottlieb?
What a fucking moron
People tweeting and insulting him, and overall being a-holes, because he picked Tenn. in his bracket, are just as stupid. So he made his prediction and didn't think Michigan would win, he was wrong, most of us are horribly wrong about at least one team a year in the tourney (cough'villecough). Many of us look like idiots saying this team deserves this and this team doesn't deserve this every year. He's just on nation TV.
This is like a troll vs a-hole exchange on twitter...
It's not so much that he picked Tennessee as the fact that he said Michigan had no chance, tweeted about how awful it was to watch Michigan during the game, and then when Michigan was up by 30 he tweeted about how Tennessee had quit. Never admitted he was wrong or gave Michigan props for playing well.
His twitter page is about as bland as his personality.
I'm Doug Gottlieb and I'm an attention whore. Watch me try to spell a word correctly!
Can someone post what it says? I can't access twitter from work...
easy michigan fans, results do not indicate whether or not u belong
easy michigan fans, results do not indicate whether or not u belong
Sad, i was just starting to warm up to him after he called state "kalin lucas and a bunch of other dudes."
To be fair, he also said:
"Michigan belonged long before today, UAB did not belong b4 they were blown out."
It's called backpedaling. He's a turd.
If we'd just slid in under the bubble wire to a #15 seed, maybe he could make a reasonable argument. But trying to push the idea that a #8 doesn't belong at all is just bizarre.
This is actually good though—if I were Beilein, I'd be sending Gottlied's tweet to every member of the program, players and coaches.
Is that an issue? I thought the fact that we were an 8 seed showed that we "belong". The fact that we obliterated Tennessee showed that we are, in fact, a pretty good team. If there were Michigan fans saying that Michigan was one of the top 10 teams in the country, I would understand that tweet, but I think Gottlieb is being, in the words of Jimmy King, a bitch.
He has another tweet up further explaining what he meant:
"Michigan belonged long before today, UAB did not belong b4 they were blown out."
So maybe he isn't a complete a-hole like we all thought...
he should be careful, he could hurt himself backpedaling like that. Maybe he should sit this one out for a little while.
In his next tweet he said "Michigan belonged long before today, UAB did not belong b4 they were blown out." probably because of the reaction he got
I'm not bothered by Gottlieb. His job is to stir it up. Good on him.
His job is to analyze college basketball, not to spout bullshit that he doesn't actually believe.
to determine whether a team "belongs" in the tournament is if the selection committee says you belong. Period. Therefore, we belong. Next.
