No kidding. You want to come to dislike it (along with the rest of the TNG films) like I do make sure to watch in order:
Best of Both Worlds
I, Borg
then watch First Contact and you'll notice a complete unravelling of Picard's having come to peace with what happened at Wolf 359 and have to think that he's gone completely insane or is not the same person.

I just received an email from them a few days ago, where they provided the latest contact information.
Add:F17, F518 Idea Land, Baoyuan road Baoan district, Shenzhen , China Zip code:518102
You will have no problem with English. Average time for product shipement is 10-11 days to US or Europe. The products are identical (all products available), but different suppliers. The finish is slightly different, but very nice. I have 2 Fotoman 617 MarkIIL cameras, they are built like a tank, very precise, no film flatness issues, and very smooth helical focus ring with depth field and hyperfocal scale (which Goaersi lacks). My friend has ordered quite a few items from China, and had no problems. All cones, other accessories, and film cutter for 8x10 to 4x10 are available. I wish someone would tell them to fix there website so I don't have to keep repeating this message. I wrote them, they told me it is hard to fix the confusion(??)....I say erase the old news completely which is reporting Pauls business which has been closed for over 1.5 years (or at least I wish they would mention at the bottom where they say "Fotoman Ceased Production" that althought Fotoman Camera is out of business, Fotoman Camera China is in busines as usual). Never saw a company before that is advertising themselves as out of business (while still in business).

FSG need to prove themselves
Yes, we all want that, every fan wants that from their club. Its a bit embarrasing to be calling out the owners to prove themselves when that is all they have done so far at every point of asking. Its pathetic. You say all they have done is invest £30m but they also invested £300m in buying the club in the first place, which actually was paying off our own debt! They never said, money is no object, quite the contrary. They have made it clear that if we need a certain player and we can identify him then we will get him. That is all.
We will buy again this summer, I think we will get the players we need to move forward too. Its fans with unrealistic expectations that will end up ruining it for those of us who were in pieces when we were the worlds laughing stock 18 months ago.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Peter, either you are illiterate or just plain stupid. I presume your not dictating you messages to a PA then you know what my opinion is.
Did I say money no object? Just because you buy a club doesn't mean sh*t to me, because that doesn't prove your committed to making it a success. Obviously if that was the case then the previous owners would have done that wouldn't they? Or has somebody transplanted a goldfish's memory in to your head? Just because FSG spent 300 mil on us doesn't mean a thing. If they sold it tomorrow then I'm sure they would get their money back.
I'll explain myself in potato head English so you can understand better.
They have said they are committed to both a stadium and success. They have said they can compete on a financial level with any club in the world. I want them to prove what they say. Action, not platitudes!
Why is that unrealistic??

You may have a specific learning difficulty but have not been diagnosed. How can the DRC help?
The Disability Resource Centre provides an advice and assessment service to students at the University of Cambridge on Specific Learning Difficulties (such as dyslexia).
You may have been referred to us via your Director of Studies or Tutor to be tested for a Specific Learning Difficulty. Alternatively, you may be concerned that you might have a specific learning difficulty and it is affecting your academic performance.
The Assessment Process
How do I get assessed?
Step 1 – make an appointment to meet an specialist Specific Learning Difficulty adviser.
In order to arrange this interview, please contact the DRC.
Step 2 – Meet the Adviser
The initial meeting:
- lasts up to 1 hour
- is an opportunity for you to discuss your difficulties
- will give the Adviser an opportunity to recommend whether a full assessment for a specific learning difficulty is the next step
Step 3 – If your adviser recommends it, go for a full assessment
- Make an appointment with a diagnostic assessor (such as an Educational Psychologist or specialist teacher).
- Undergo a series of tests administered by the diagnostic assessor. This appointment could take up the best part of the day.
- Pay the assessor about £400.
- Receive a report within 21 working days of this meeting.
Step 4 – Meet your disability adviser to discuss the report
- the findings of the report and get support in understanding what the diagnosis means
- whether you should apply for Disabled Students Allowances to fund your support needs if eligible
Step 5 – Request exam access arrangements if your report recommends using a computer or extra time
- send a copy of the report to your college Tutorial Office immediately
- read the exam access arrangements website and be aware of the strict deadlines
Step 6 - Access support
- Once funding is in place you can access Specialist Study Skills 1:1 tuition arranged through the DRC.
Are there any costs involved in getting assessed?
If you require assistance with this cost, please contact your college Tutorial Office as you may be eligible for a grant from the Access to Learning Fund (ALF).
The ALF is principally for 'Home' students but some other categories of student, including certain EU students who satisfy the residence requirements for statutory support, may be eligible. Further information regarding eligibility should be sought from College Tutors.
Further information about the Access to Learning Fund can be found on the Student Registry pages.
Students who do not meet the eligibility criteria for the Access to Learning Fund should approach their college to discuss what support might be available.

As we near Veterans Day 2015, it is only fitting that we give honor to whom honor is due — our nation's veterans, active duty service members, and their families. Consider where we would be without our military. What if they had not crossed the deadly beaches of Normandy or raised the American flag at Iwo Jima?
Thankfully, we don't have to know. Throughout our nation's history, members of the U.S. Armed Forces have displayed a fierce loyalty, defending America and protecting human rights around the world. Their selfless and courageous service under the toughest conditions has allowed America to remain the land of the free and the home of the brave.
In John 15:13, Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." Our nation's veterans have pledged their lives in defense of our nation, and many of them have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Veterans Day is a time when we humbly honor these men and women.
As our nation's veterans enter the twilight of their lives, many tend to lose a sense of purpose. Join us in encouraging these veterans. Remind them that they are a symbol of our nation's strength and security. Tell them that they inspire future generations.
Join us for the Institute for Military Resilience webinar entitled Honor to Whom Honor Is Due, Nov. 12 at 8 p.m. EST. This session is devoted to honoring service members, veterans, and their families through the sharing of testimonials and stories.Postedby Rebecca Eller at 12:16 PM | Permalink

College success is built on a series of good choices, and below are six areas that you should be giving special attention.
First, set your priorities. You must prioritize your schoolwork if you expect to be successful. College courses can be among the most fulfilling (yet challenging) ways to spend your time. As an online student, you already have a full life outside of school; however, making schoolwork a priority is essential for your success.
Second, manage your time. Plan adequate time for homework and studying. You should also review each course's syllabus early on in the sub-term to determine how much time you will need to set aside. Choose specific times and locations to complete assignments, splitting studying up throughout the week rather than trying to cram it all in on the weekends.
Avoid procrastination. Even if you have a good time management plan, procrastination can quickly derail your success. Unexpected things do come up, but for the most part, you should be following your plan. Completing work under a time crunch is stressful, so stick to the schedule. Once your work is finished, make sure to reward yourself! You will be more productive if you have something to look forward to.
Recognize that your professors want to help you. Your success is their success, so if you're stuck on something, ask for help! Ask questions through email or make an appointment to talk on the phone. Get help immediately if you discover you don't understand something. Rest assured that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but rather shows your determination to do well.
Engage with what you are learning. After you finish reading or studying, reflect on it. How does what you are learning now contribute to your goals? Is there a way to enhance your learning through volunteer work? Practical experience in your field helps build your portfolio for future employment.
Learn from your mistakes. College education is not only composed of successes. Opportunities to learn and grow can also be gained from failures. If you don't get the grade that you expected, learn from it so you can do better next time.
Although there is no magic key to success as an online college student, following these six tips should help move you in the right direction.Postedby Rebecca Eller at 9:06 AM | Permalink

As an online student, you are balancing many responsibilities, including work, family, and school. Keeping up with everything can easily leave you feeling burnt out. Burnout involves three stages: stress arousal, energy conservation, and exhaustion. These three stages can cause a variety of symptoms, including trouble sleeping, headaches, anxiety, fatigue, social isolation, and even depression. By overloading your schedule, you are not leaving enough time for your mind and body to recharge. However, there are things that you can do to avoid these issues. Below are seven ways to combat your burnout.

Treading Carefully With Wellness Programs
Employers promoting wellness in the workplace need to be careful what they ask for, and how they ask it.
Wellness programs can be effective in cutting a company's health-care costs. But how employers go about establishing them, and guiding employees into them, is key to avoiding legal problems including possible lawsuits.
At issue is the use of health risk assessments, or HRAs. These surveys include questions about workers' habits, personal health and family medical histories. The results, which are confidential, are used to direct workers into employer-sponsored wellness programs, such as smoking cessation and weight-loss courses.
Many employers offer financial rewards to workers who voluntarily complete HRAs at annual enrollment. Now some employers are raising the stakes, requiring employees to fill out HRAs if they want to be eligible for the health plan.
Lawyers for one federal agency say they don't favor such an action. A county government employer asked the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's Office of Legal Counsel last year if it could make health plan enrollment contingent on filling out an HRA. The agency's legal office, in a response made public in March, said that, although the EEOC hasn't taken a formal position, "this office believes that your proposed policy would violate provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act."
That act requires any questions about disabilities or medical exams "to be job-related and consistent with business necessity," the office noted.
"The EEOC is saying, 'Watch out, employers,'" says Anne Waidmann, a director with PricewaterhouseCoopers in Washington. She is an expert in employee benefits.
As the agency tasked with enforcing the ADA's employment provisions, the EEOC can sue for compensation and punitive damages on behalf of employees who file complaints. Individuals also can take their employers to court if the EEOC doesn't take up their case, according to Chris Kuczynski, assistant legal counsel at the EEOC.
It's unclear how many employers now require employees to complete an HRA as a condition of health plan enrollment. In July 2007, Clarian Health announced its intention to take such a step but a spokesman for the Indianapolis-based hospital chain, James Wide, says the plan was scrapped a month later after employees reacted negatively to it in a survey.
Still, as employers grapple with rising health-care costs and a weak economy, the idea of making HRAs mandatory may be making a comeback.
"We are increasingly getting questions along those lines," says Thomas Bedington, a director for the Benefits Roundtable, a program of the Corporate Executive Board, an executive member network and research organization.
Some employers that offer several health plans require workers to complete an HRA if they want to enroll in the plan with the most comprehensive coverage, says Bedington. Employers typically subsidize 70% to 80% of the premiums, so they want to ensure that workers are taking all the necessary steps to manage their health.
In recent years, employers have been rolling out wellness programs in an effort to reduce health problems among workers, particularly the onset of costly chronic conditions. Many offer incentives, such as cash or premium reductions, to encourage workers to participate. But disappointed by a poor response, more employers are considering turning to penalties for not participating.
"In 2010, more employers are going to be switching to penalties," says Shelly Wolff, North American leader for health and productivity at Watson Wyatt Worldwide, a consulting firm. For example, instead of being rewarded for completing an HRA, employees may face a monthly premium surcharge if they don't fill one out, she says.

Spencer, Nebraska page 126 with picture of Crawford and Martha Brownfield
"Crawford A Brownfield born Nov 2,1876 at Springfield, Ill, to Elias and Elizabeth Funkhouser Brownfield, and died May 24,1941. He married Martha Edith Diehl on Jan 29,1913 at Fremont, Nebr, who was born Jan 17,1884 at Hooper, Nebr, and died June 9, 1962.
Crawford and Martha adopted an 8 week old baby girl, Myrtis LaVerne Brownfield, born April 6,1921.
Crawford came by covered wagon with his parents when just a young boy to Polk County, and lived on a farm near Shelby, Nebr, In the spring of 1891 he moved with his parents to the homestead southeast of Spencer, Nebr, Here he lived with his family until Jan 29, when he married Martha Diehl.
Crawford drove a team and wagon 30 miles to O'Neill, Nebr to purchase building supplies to build a new home 1 ½ miles southeast of the Brownfield homestead. They lived here until the spring of 1931 when they moved to town.
In 1935 they started a rooming house. They rented rooms by the night to travelers going through Spencer, also rooms to school teachers by the month. Martha cooked meals, washed and ironed for the five teachers at a time for only $30.00 a month. She kept Crawford busy doing dishes.
Crawford and Martha were active members of the Methodist Church. Martha was superintenednet of the Sunday School for many years. Crawford was janitor of the church, and also caretaker of the Union Cemetery until his death.
Crawford, Martha, Elias and Elizabeth Brownfield are buried at the Union Cemetery at Spencer, Nebr. Elias died in 1944 at age of 102 at Glendale, California. His eye sight was still good, as he could thread a needle without glasses.â€
Spencer, Nebr. Page 126 and 127 with picture of Elias and Elizabeth Brownfield
ELIAS BROWNFIELD AND ELIZABETH FUNKHAUSER (no I didn't misspell the name, there seems to be more than one spelling in the book)
"Elias and Elizabeth Funkhauser Brownfield came to the area in 1891 in a covered wagon caravan from Shelby, Nebr with five of their children, Janettie, Crawford, Homer, Dora, and Edith. An older son, LeRoy, stayed in Shelby as he was teaching school there. The Henry Dickey family was also in the caravan.
Janettie had the responsibility of driving the cattle on the way. They forded the Niobrara River about three miles south and east of their homestead.
Elias and son Crawford had been to the homestead the year before and put up a sod house and barn. They returned to Shelby to get their family.
About 1896, Elias built a large barn with the help of neighbors. The support studdings were of native cottonwood. The main part would hold 20 head of horses with a lean to on either side for cattle and hogs. It also had a large hay loft.
Elias' homestead was halfway between O'Neill and Fort Randall, where soldiers were stationed at that time. Freighters and homesteaders on their way back and forth boarded overnight with the Brownfields. Later when the railroad came to Spencer, freighters loaded and came that far to get an early start for O'Neill the next day.
Elizabeth had a carpet loom. From the sale of these rugs and the money from the freighters, she had a large frame house of nine or ten rooms built. Mr Tinsley, a carpenter from Spencer, did the building in about 1903.
The Brownfields had a beautiful homestead with many fruit trees and berries of all kinds. There were rows of walnut, cedar, and cottonwood trees. A large garden along with the fruit provided ample food for the family and also for Janettie's family when they lived there.

Spencer, Nebr page 264,265 with picture 50th wedding anniversary of Chris and Janettie Nelson
"Christian Nelson and his brother Charles came from Jutland, Denmark in 1883 to an uncle in Pilger,Nebr. They had only two dollars left between them when they arrived. After working for farmers there for awhile they went to another brother Nels west of Verdigre to farm on their own. While there, they purchased milk products from a neighbor. Not trusting the good woman too far, they always gave some to their cat first. If the cat ate it, they would too.
When homesteading opened in the present Boyd County, Chris and Charles decided to try it. They traveled ina wagon with a teamof one horse and a mule. In order to locate their homestead, they started at a given point near Niobrara and stepped it off. They missed the location by about four miles. That winter they made a dugout in the bank near the Ponca Creek east of present Bristow. Their only neighbor was another Dane, Otto Knudsen, his Indian wife, and their grown children.
One day during the winter their mule fell through the ice in the Ponca Creek. Chris and Charles wrapped their coats around it and brought it into the dugout by the fire until it was dry.
By spring they were low on food, so Charles went back to Niobrara to get supplies. Meanwhile, all Chris had to live on was a bushel of shell corn and what he could forage from the land.
Chris went to O'Neill to the government land office to get the correct location of his land. It was on the Ponca Creek about 3 and ½ miles east of Spencer. They built a one room frame house. Charles returned to Niobrara and a younger brother, John, from Denmark, joined him.
In Aug 1892, Chris was married to Janettie Brownfield, a neighbor. 14 children were born to them, Ten grew to adults. Clara, Elmer, Alfred, Oscar, Elsie, Karl, Amelia, Florence, Goldie and Roy.
In 1893-94 severe drought hit the country and Chris went to Minn to work in the iron mines while Janettie returned to Shelby to live with relatives. The next spring they were back on the homestead. The summer had been so dry that much of the seed planted the year before came up that spring.
In 1894 when he learned that Barrett Scott was to be hung from the Niobrara River Bridge, he rode horseback as fast as he could to try to prevent it, but he arrived too late as the hanging was over with.
In the fall of 1898, hog cholera hit the community causing heavy financial and much hardship to everyone in the area.
Telephone and railroad were the big things that happened. Chris being very vary of the telephone, would not let his wife talk on it. Janettie would have to call him in to the house to answer it.
They moved west of Naper in 1913 for four years. When they came back to Spencer, they moved on the Elias Brownfield farm. Sons Elmer, Alfred and Oscar worked for the contractor that laid the brick street in Spencer.
Chris and Janettie celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1942 at the Niobrara State Park. Chris died in 1946 and Janettie in 1961. They are buried at the Union Cem at Spencer.

They settled on a ranch on the bank of the Niobrara River south of Bristow. CC and his brother Roy drove cattle by horseback across the Mo River on the ice. The rest of the family, with the household goods and machinery, came by train. During the 30's they lost the ranch and moved to Bristow where they ran an implement store.
CC met his future wife, Anna Louise Bergh of Brunswick when his sister Sylvia brought a school teacher friend home for a 4th of July visit. They were married in 1934 and raised two children Anita (Mrs Vernon Saldeen) of Illinois and Curtis of Spencer. Another son, Robert died quite young. Anita has two sons, Paul and Melvin.
Louise's family settled in the Brunswick area in Antelope County, sold out and moved to Georgia where Louise was born in 1900. The climate didn't agree with her father so they returned to Brunswick.
CC and Louise started out on a farm east of Bristow and in 1940 bought the ranch one mile west of Bristow where Curtis and family still live.
CC built the first stock dam in the county after seeing one in Mexico on a trip to visit his sister. He and his brother Esty, were instrumental in organizing the Boyd County Fair which was a circuit fair in the early days. CC served as Fair President for 25 years. Esty and Emma started the Dairy Bar in Spencer. Louise helped organize the county extension clubs.
CC and Louise moved to Spencer to retire where CC died in the summer of 1989. His sister, Sylvia of Oregon is the only surviving sibling.

Confidence in what you're doing is a good thing if what you are doing is right.
Confidence can make you feel brave and willing to take steps that you might not normally take and possibly lead to great things.
But if what you are doing turns out to be wrong, confidence can lead you down a muddy road and into trouble. ...

Wow, lovin the windscreen wiper decorations :P
Do I wish I had that. That is awesome. I had it from 1988 until 2004, though. It ended up looking like the below pic.
plastic framed double wipers came in many colors and were huge here in the U.S. from about 1986-1992. all the parts houses (and Wal-Mart) had 'em. you could even get 'em in "gold" plating :roll: .Originally Posted by Long
you could also get these little "air foil" wings that attached to the double wipers and were supposed to push the wipers harder against the glass.
tiny stickers for the air foils got popular for awhile. I had to explain to a Texan who had put some flag stickers on the foils of his teal green Silverado step side that the flags were actually the Puerto Rican flag and not the Texas flag :shock: :lol: .
HAHA very cool :tu:

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
I ordered 5 bridesmaid dresses for my wedding. The quality of the dresses is very good. The dresses run a little small so make sure you order a size or two bigger. My friend usually wears a size 6 in dresses but she ordered a size 8 and it fit her perfectly. Even a size 10 would be good on her. All of the girls dresses will need to be hemmed as they are really long.
The dresses shipped from China to California really quick (less than 2 weeks I believe). The only WARNING I would give is for those who are ordering and need the dresses delivered to the USA you will have to pay a brokerage fee. I had to pay $100 in order for UPS to give me my package :/ This was close to the amount of each dress.
The dress looks just like the picture. I ordered in July and my wedding isn't until November. Order your dresses in advance so you have time to hem or tailor. Be careful when selecting the size because I don't think they do exchanges. If they do you will probably have to pay shipping cost to China which can be very expensive.
I hope this helps!
The quality of the wedding dress was very poor and had a very unpleasant "fishy" odor. They don
You must be absolutely certain of what you want, and the size you need it in. This company is very difficult to get a hold of by phone. You may only be able to reach them by email, and by that time their deadline to make adjustments or changes may have passed. The very inflexible, and will try to make you pay double for any changes.
The bridesmaids dresses were OK. However due to their inflexibility, I had to have each one altered once they arrived.
I was very disappointed with this vendor.
It's sad to see ppl talk like that I ordered my wedding from that with in a week I got my dress, and I love it fits perfectly fine , the only if you are a size 4 get a 6 or take measurement to be sure I love me dress I'm super excite .
I bought my wedding dress on jjs.house.com and also all seven of my bridesmaids dtesses were bought by each bridesmaids. We were very pleased with the quality and fit of all of our dresses.
I ordered both a ceremony dress and reception dress. I also opted for the custom fit since I'm a weird fit (short legs but long torso). Both came in promptly. I did not realize there was going to be a handling fee attached to it OR that it was coming from China (also the packaging did not say JJ's House so I wasn't sure what the box was). Luckily I sorted it out with UPS and paid the extra charge. I wish this was more obvious when you ordered.
I was also able to customize the color of the detailing which I loved. Great price and it allowed us to spend a little extra on our guests instead of ourselves!
I ordered this dress for my daughter's senior prom. This dress was beautiful at first glance but turned out to be a disaster due to poor craftsmanship. The zipper was very stiff and extremely hard to zip up and down. Also, this had nothing to do with how the dress fit. It fit her perfectly. The night of the prom, I managed to get it zipped up, which wasn't easy, and sent her on her way. About two hours after she got there, the zipper busted wide open! The top part of the zipper stayed zipped but the entire back, all the way down, was wide open! It could not be fixed. A teacher had to use about 10 safety pins to try and keep it shut. she ended up having to wear a boy's tuxedo jacket over the dress so no one could see it. what a nightmare!!!! She was extremely upset and embarressed :( Of course, the return policy states returns must be made within 7 days, but there was no way to anticipate this kind of problem before her special occasion. Also, be sure to read the fine print when ordering. I didn't realize that I would be charged an import fee on top of the shipping charges, which turned out to be an extra $50. I will never order from JJ's House or any other overseas company again.
I had my heart set on a tea-length wedding gown, and my local stores were not helpful, not really interested in helping me to find the type of dress I wanted. Apparently tea-length gowns aren't very popular, at least not in my area.
I stumbled across the JJ's House website, and almost immediately spotted my "dream" dress. The price was very reasonable. Since I am short at just 5 feet tall, clothes almost always have to be altered. For a tea-length gown, the length would be critical. JJ's House offers standard dress sizes, or offers custom made dresses made to your exact measurements. I opted for the custom sizing, placed the order, and waited.
The dress was delivered sooner than promised, in less than three weeks. The material and styling were gorgeous, exactly what I wanted, better than I dared to hope. The dress fit perfectly, and I couldn't wait for my wedding day when I could wear it. I didn't let my fiance see the dress before the wedding, because I wanted him to be surprised. He thought the dress was great, and that I was beautiful in it. It was truly a dream dress. I highly recommend JJ's House for your wedding gown.

Author Kaz Cooke is releasing seven ebooks on the back of her wildly successful manuals, Women's Stuff and Girl Stuff
Kaz, it seems nowadays there's a higher value placed on losing one's virginity than there is keeping it. Would you agree, and why do you think that is?
Nup, I don't agree at all – through my research with 4000 girls aged 12 to 18 for my book Girl Stuff for teenagers, and 7000 women over 18 for the book Women's Stuff, I think there's a huge range of attitudes about virginity, religious and otherwise. I think there's a lot of confusion over the magical, mythical state of virginity, even what it is, technically. In Girl Stuff I talk to girls a lot about virginity and how it's not a "precious gift" that when given away or 'lost" (how weird is that?) means a girl has lost their worth. What's much more important is being in charge of saying yes or no, and being entitled to a respectful sex life. In Girl Stuff I tell girls how to say no, and what they need to know before they say yes.
Do you think there's a reason that it's more "shocking" when someone who is a virgin at 20 or older, is male – does it stem from a misled idea that men are sexual beings, while women are not?
After reading the thoughts, questions and confidences of 7000 women for my book Women's Stuff, I can honestly say I don't find this shocking at all. But yes, I think the double standard is alive and well and girls are pressured to look "hot" but not to talk about enjoying or wanting sex.
Fifty Shades of Grey may not have been a literary great, but it was highly successful. Do you think its brought us any closer to female sexuality being recognised and accepted in the same way that male sexuality is?
Ha. I'm all for women enjoying a raunchy read but I find the subtext of that book, that women have a need to be submissive, profoundly dull and oppressive. The success of Fifty Shades showed that people love a sexy book (which we already knew) and that the marketing power of "buzz" works brilliantly. Also, it was the first mass-market book that people could buy totally anonymously, online. It also showed that most people who bought the book thought it was crap and hit "delete" on their device.
How does someone tell their partner that the sex isn't good without hurting their feelings?
As I say in Women's Stuff, and the spin off ebook "Sex With the Lot", it's always best to put things in the positive, as in "How about we do this?" or "Yes, keep doing that" or "Slow it down, that's good" than say something like "You kiss like a washing machine and you are treating my nipples like radio dials, you lummox". Of course feelings matter, but anyone who gets sulky or doesn't seem interested in pleasing their partner is a dud.
Do you think that a lot of the time, it isn't selfishness or laziness, but rather a lack of know-how or experience, that creates that kind of situation?
From what women and girls tell me, there are multiple reasons: inexperience, thoughtlessness, and a huge new reason is the influence of porn which portrays women "enjoying" stuff they don't usually enjoy or become aroused by, which young guys and men are "recreating". A lot of porn and popular culture also only focuses on whether the man is getting what he wants. Women can unwittingly perpetuate this by faking pleasure, either to make him feel better or to "get it over with". (Of course, not all women have sex only with men.)
Say you're into BDSM or maybe just a bit curious: how would you go about getting your partner to agree to give it a try?
I think it's a very dangerous area for many women, as "bondage and discipline" can be closely related to domination and abuse in a relationship. I'd say both partners should do a lot of research about how to be safe, where the line is between sex roles and the rest of the relationship dynamics, and understand very clearly where your boundaries are, and be prepared to back out or stop whenever you want to.
And on the other hand, how would one tell their partner who might really enjoy it, that they're just not into it, even after giving it a good, hard, cracking go?
Yuck, really? "Good hard cracking go?" I don't think anybody should feel obligated to try something that doesn't pique their interest and make them feel keen. You don't have to try something because your partner wants to do it (regardless of whether you're straight or gay and the gender of the keen partner). Some of this stuff can be humiliating and can hurt. So honesty and respect is the key: everyone gets to ask, and everyone gets to say no thanks. Nobody should feel they have to give anything a "go". It's fine to say, "I know you're keen, and I appreciate your honesty and sharing the idea, but it's not for me." Or, indeed "Tried that, and that's enough for me, thanks." Then the other person decides whether they want to find a new partner, or leave their idea in the fantasy world.
What's your best piece of advice for someone trying to overcome their own body image issues?
I bang on about this (sorry) in the book, but in general, I try to get women to understand that good sex should be about how sex makes them feel. There are side issues, like how women are portrayed in pornography, and general body image pressures. Sometimes it helps to turn off the lights, not because you're hideous, but because then you can relax and explore and can think about being more visible later.
Do you think that people are smarter when it comes to contraception nowadays or are they merely focused on preventing pregnancy? People still get STDs, and at high rates.
It's amazing that many women are too embarrassed to ask a guy to wear a condom, but not too embarrassed to have sex with him. It needs to be just automatic – it's nothing "personal" and shouldn't be taken as mistrust. There's also the misplaced idea that you could "tell" if somebody has an STD or that if they're faithful to you, they won't pass anything on. The STI section of the book was a revelation to research – did you know most people will come into contact with an HPV (genital wart virus) within the first few fews of having sex? Many dangerous STIs don't have visible symptoms and can result in infertility or other serious complications. The rising rates hotspot for STIs is now middle aged and post-menopause women who get divorced or have sex and think because they can't get pregnant they don't need to protect themselves. All women need regular check ups including cervical smear tests to make sure they don't have the cell changes caused by some strains of HPV that can lead to cervical cancer if not treated.
The most important thing is to be informed – and I guess that's why I write the books I do.
You can download Kaz's ebooks here. They're $4.99 each, except for Escaping Control & Abuse: How to Get Out of a Bad Relationship & Recover from Assault, which is free.

Picture: Aaron Johnson and Sam Taylor-Wood 'Kick-Ass' UK film premiere held at the Empire Leicester Square - Arrivals London, England - 22.03.10
British actor Aaron Johnson is planning to take a break from making movies when his baby with fiancee Sam Taylor Wood is born.
The 19 year old started dating the filmmaker after they met on the set of John Lennon biopic Nowhere Boy.
The pair has since become engaged and in January (10) Taylor Wood announced she is expecting her first child with Johnson.
And the teen is so determined to be a good dad, he's planning a hiatus from work.
He says, "I am going to take some time off because I am going to be a dad soon. I can't wait. It is going to be a brilliant year for me. That is what is on my mind, not what film is coming out. Apart from that I am staying at home. What have I got to rush for? I want to be with my newborn baby. It will be one of the greatest things and I wouldn't possibly want to miss it. Life is more important than what film I do next."
Johnson also admits he's keen to make Taylor Wood his wife as soon as possible: "We haven't set a date (for marriage). We are thinking about it. I would like to get married sooner rather than later. Whenever Sam feels happy to slip into the dress with the baby bump, we will do it. We talk about the wedding all the time."

The old Second City routine comes to mind... "Blowed 'em up good." "Yep, blowed 'em up real good!"
So, yesterday I was out on a ride of pretty moderate intensity, and did a couple of all out attacks on two short hills. The second I hit spinning as fast as I could under the circumstances (120rpm), and crested it as fast as I would using my normal technique. My heart rate went higher than it would have using my normal technique, within 4 bpm of my fastest-ever observed heart rate. It was a short effort, about 60 seconds. And I blew! Afterwards, my legs weren't particularly tired, but my energy level went out the window.
Which got me wondering, does anybody know what happens, physiologically, when you blow up?

Better than nylon
posted 6 years ago
this is much better than the nylon halters. i lost my mare 2 years ago and she never wore a nylon halter - she looked cheesy in nylon but looked great in leather.
Pros: doesnt rub skin
Cons: none

Good old-fashioned looks and durability
posted 6 years ago
I always preferred the look and feel of leather for a halter. I agree with another reviewer that, although strong under normal circumstances, if a horse did get hung up and was fighting to escape to safety, he could break this halter...a good safety feature. You do have to condition leather once in a while, but it's a satisfying activity.
Pros: Best halter material in my opinion
Cons: Must be cleaned and oiled occasionally

For many travelers, vacation is about spending time with your companions, sleeping, maybe even catching up on reading. For others, it's all about a party.
The Caribbean is a great place to blend the two passions: relax during the day, stay up well past bedtime at night. The islands of the Caribbean have a blend of salsa clubs and fancier affairs, as well as flip-flop beach bars and casual nighttime joints.
Fodors.com put together a list of their favorite beach bars scattered about the Caribbean. While many of the bars look lovely (and who wouldn't want to be on a tropical beach now?), there are so many more that do the trick (just thinking about Le Select in St. Barths screams Caribbean dive bar).
Check out their list below and send us your choice for favorite bars: From beach shacks to dance halls, we want to hear about it!

Aruba's waterfront bars beckon with great sunset views The Scene: They pump up the volume at Aruba's resort bars when the sun sets. Unlike many other islands, nightlife here isn't confined to touristy folkloric shows. In addition to catching nightly entertainment in one of the many casinos, you can slowly savor a drink while the sun dips into the sea, dance to the beat of a local band, bar-hop via a colorful party bus, or simply stroll along a deserted starlit beach. Arubans like to party--the more the merrier--and they usually start celebrating late in the evening. Plan Your Trip:Fodor's Aruba Travel Guide Aruba Tourism Authority
Drop anchor and float into a Jost Van Dyke waterfront bar like Foxy's The Scene: Jost Van Dyke is the most happening place to go barhopping in the BVI. In fact, yachties will sail over just to have a few drinks. All the spots are congregated in three general locations: Great Harbour, White Bay, and Little Harbour. On the Great Harbour side you can find Foxy's, Corsairs, and Ali Baba's; on the White Bay side are the One Love Bar & Grill, and the Soggy Dollar bar, where legend has it the famous Painkiller was first concocted; and in Little Harbour are Harris' Place, Sydney's Peace & Love, and Abe's by the Sea.

Lights reflect off the water from Willemstad's Handelskade at night The Scene: Friday is a big night out in Curacao, with rollicking happy hours and live music at many bars and hotels. And, surprisingly, Sunday-night revelry into the wee hours is an island tradition. Outrageous costumes, blowout parades, and frenetic energy characterize Carnival. The season lasts longer here than on many other islands, beginning on New Year's and continuing until midnight the day before Ash Wednesday. In Willemstad, live jazz electrifies the pier at Blues on Thursday and Saturday. And the dance floor at the Emerald Lounge comes alive on weekends, and is especially steamy on Friday salsa nights. Plan Your Trip: Fodor's Curaçao Travel Guide Curacao Tourist Board
Choose your party style in Jamaica--are you more into resort clubs or open-air bars? The Scene: Throughout the island, most major resort-hotels have lively dance clubs and bars. In Montego Bay, the Hip Strip pulsates with activity. Gloucester Avenue is lined with some of the island's top bars and clubs for easy bar-hopping. Montego Bay is also perfect for a night of romance, beginning with a tranquil sunset cruise, followed by a dinner at Three Palms Restaurant on the grounds of historic Rose Hall. Negril has an event every evening, usually a beach party and live music. Catch live reggae nightly at Rick's Cafe. With its many open-air beach bars and clubs, Negril has an active, if casual, nightlife scene. Plan Your Trip: Fodor's Jamaica Travel Guide Torrance Lewis/Jamaica Tourist Board/Fotoseeker.com
Enjoy Old San Juan at night with a drink outside among the colonial architecture The Scene: In San Juan, well-dressed visitors and locals alike often mingle in the lobby bars of large hotels, many of which have bands in the evening. Many hotels and casinos also have clubs with shows and/or dancing. In Old San Juan, Calle San Sebastián is lined with bars and restaurants. Salsa music blaring from jukeboxes in cut-rate pool halls competes with mellow Latin jazz in top-flight night spots. The young and the beautiful often socialize in Plaza San José. Late January sees the Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián, one of the Caribbean's best street parties. Plan Your Trip: Fodor's Puerto Rico Travel Guide Puerto Rico Tourism Company
Trinidad's Carnival is reputedly the oldest in the Western Hemisphere The Scene: There's certainly no lack of nightlife, particularly live music, in Port of Spain, and spontaneity plays a big role--around Carnival time look for the handwritten signs announcing the PANYARD, where the next informal gathering of steel-drum bands is going to be. There's also an increasingly lively gay scene in Trinidad, with parties drawing upward of 200 people on most weekends. And of course, Trinidad's Carnival, billed by locals as "The Greatest Show on Earth," begins right after Christmas, and the parties, called fêtes, don't stop until Ash Wednesday. Plan Your Trip: Fodor's Trinidad Travel Guide Trinidad & Tobago Tourism Development Company Ltd
Try a classic piña colada or painkiller at one of the island bars The Scene: Much of the nightlife in St. Kitts revolves around the hotels, which host folkloric shows and calypso and steel bands of the usual limbo-rum-and-reggae variety. But it's the growing Frigate Bay "strip" of beach bars, including Monkey Bar, Rainbow, Mr. X Shiggidy Shack, and Ziggy's, that is the place to party hearty on weekend nights. Join the locals, who barhop here late into Friday and Saturday, for lively, laid-back fun. Plan Your Trip: Fodor's St. Kitts Travel Guide Flickr: maggiejp
The downtown Gustavia bar where Jimmy Buffet allegedly wrote "Cheeseburger in Paradise." It's a dive bar to the extreme, but oh so fun just to people watch.

Extremely well plotted, Callow's debut novel is a hybrid of a police procedural and medical thriller. Heroine Kate Lange is a standout character, and readers will certainly look forward to reading her further adventures.
Hired by a top firm in Halifax, attorney Kate Lange sees a bright future ahead — if she can convince her employers she's capable of handling more than family law cases. Her latest assignment seems straightforward, a custody case involving a missing teenage girl, Lisa MacAdam. It's anything but: Lisa is the daughter of a prominent judge and she's been murdered, likely by a serial killer. Kate's involvement in the case brings her ex, homicide detective Ethan Drake, back into her life — which complicates her professional life too, given Ethan's history with her boss, Randall Barrett. But it's Kate's suspicions regarding another case that put her life in danger — and make her uncertain of just who to trust. (MIRA, Jun., 464 pp., $7.99)

Ok, the title was to get your attention, not necessarily based on facts.
Here's the deal. I've been riding seriously for three years. I ride 100-150 miles /week. I can ride 18 mph all day long. I can do 20-21 mph for quite a while when I am feeling good. I am 60 years old.
On Saturday, I went on a 50 mile ride on a beautiful day with a large local club. I got caught up riding with the A group. At mile 10, we were running 22+ mph pace line. At mile 15, we were doing 23-24 mph. I could feel myself melting down and dreaded moving into position when I would have to pull the line. That never came. My left side was cramping and I had to back off. I stopped for a rest, then picked up riding with 2 guys at 20 mph. I found myself weaving and having trouble keeping a straight line. I stopped at the 25 mile rest stop and ate a little and drank a little. I was drinking in a rhythm that always worked for me (drink water every 20 min, a Succeed electrolyte tablet every hour in cool weather).
Back on the road at mile 25, I slowed way down as I hit a fierce headwind. My bike mysteriously shifted and I looked down to discover my right hand was "laying there" and forced a shift. This happened three more times, and I knew I was done. I hailed the SAG wagon for the first time ever and asked to be taken in.
Back at the starting point, I found myself weaving around and repeatedly dropped my car keys from my right hand. I managed to get home and my wife demanded we call a doctor when she heard my voice slurring.
After two days of exhaustive tests, we now know I suffered a cerebral hemhorrage caused by blood pressure spike induced by extreme exercise stress.
I am very lucky. I have mild numbness all along my right side but nothing dysfunctional. The doctors believe I will recover completely with no damage and I will be back riding in a month or so. I came home from the hospital today and I am typing this myself (with a mild bit of difficulty).
Lessons I may have learned:
1. Pay attention to your blood pressure medication if you take it and monitor BP regularly.
2. No matter how great you feel, or how young your friends tell you that you are, you just might be a bit more age worn than you think you are. Be careful.
All constructive comments and discussion are welcome.

Police are searching for three men who robbed an Independence fireworks stand at gunpoint Wednesday morning.
Police are searching for three men who robbed an Independence fireworks stand at gunpoint Wednesday morning.
Independence police spokesperson Tom Gentry said three black males pulled up in a dark-colored car to the tent in the Noland Fashion Square parking lot at U.S. 40 and Washington Avenue at approximately 4 a.m.
They approached a security guard in his van and said they were having car trouble. After the guard left his van to help them, the men pulled out handguns and held him at gunpoint.
While the guard was held at gunpoint, the men took approximately $5,000 worth of fireworks and then fled in the security guard's silver Dodge Caravan. No one was injured.
Part of the fireworks stand's proceeds benefit Hillcrest Ministries, which helps Kansas City-area families make the transition from homelessness to self-sufficiency.
Stand manager Andrew Morton told Examiner news partner KMBC Channel 9 that the robbers knew what they were looking for and went straight for the most valuable fireworks.
"He kept it very calm," Morton told KMBC. "They were saying, 'Don't move, don't move. We don't want to have to shoot you,' and he's like, 'Are you kidding? You think I'm going to get myself shot over firecrackers?" But yeah, I mean, praise God, we only lost stuff and no lives."
Police are asking anyone with information on the robbery or the suspects to call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS (8477).
