We designed this boat to be big enough to carry a hefty load of little treasures, float steadily, and be pulled by a 52 inch long cotton string. 8" long by 3" wide. When I brought our first prototype to school to pick up my daughter, all the First Graders wanted to play with it, they were pretending the wood chips in their play area were "water". It is also shallow enough to float in puddles during or after a light rain. Handmade in the USA.
This batch of Barges are made from recycled/found Spanish Cedar, a reddish hardwood. Woods may vary at times.
About boat care: We now offer our boats with no oil. They are sanded and ready to be oiled or waxed by you. You can rub a little household olive oil, canola oil, or food grade mineral oil, or beeswax to both enhanse the beauty of the wood and to preserve the wood from water exposure. If they are towel dried after baths, and not left to sit wet, they will last longer. Reoil as needed.
Our River Barge is very similar to the boat used by Peter and his friends in Peter in Blueberry Land.
"Dear Sonya, I just have to tell you how much my 8 year old son loves his wooden "river barge". I debated buying it because I thought he might be too old to get excited about this toy, but since he loves boats I decided it would be a good stocking stuffer. Well, my son is so in love with this barge! Last night at bedtime he told me he LOVES it; that Santa must have made it special for him; that you can't BUY something like that in a store. He asked me if I thought anyone else in the world received the same thing. So sweet... I just wanted to share that with you. I love your products! Happy holidays to you! Peggy B. San Rafael, CA 12/26/08"
"Hi Sonya, I just wanted to let you know that I received your parcel today and all was intact. The toys are beautiful and I know my little one will love them. Thanks and kind regards, Colleen V., South Africa 9/20/09"

but obito said something about giving the 10 ten tails too much consciousness or something like that. ah im confused.. but i do agree madara and obito will have major problems with each other soon.
i think i'd jump this chapter evrybdy is condeming the chapter....

I found the consciousness thing a little odd, I maybe thought it's poor translation?

Oh, Madara, Juubi and Obito.

yup, conflicts between obito and madara
obito joins naruto&co vs madara&juubi or the other way around trololo

I liked the early release 5/5 and the fact that kakashi is just beasting worth kamui and proved that he could warp things as big as gedo mazou I really thought the juubi would be a slow and just a energy beast but he's quick and grotesque I wonder if kakashi can become intangible as well or make others intangible
Most of it was pretty confusing to me, but I enjoyed anyway.
Good action, loved the clever ending even if it was a dbz troll, but the foreshadowing of things to come was a nice touch.
I can see Sasuke appearing and ending the with a Final flash...(que dramatic DBZ music)
I think Obito will just kamui that bijuu dama, but naruto and kakashi well have enough time to land on the juubi. I'm confused did sagemode naruto use a tbb that didn't work?
what a chapter.. but no way that hatchibi will hit the ten tail.... but still cooooooooooooool
good chap i give it a 5 the reason why is because of the kyuubi
The juubi looks nasty
to everyone complaining about how unsatisfying the juubi's appearance is, or how weak it seems.. its an IMCOMPLETE VERSION... and the fight just started.. Lol
good chapter, sum ppl complain way to f in much, its free entertainment. its like sum1 giving you a free meal then u complain cuz its not perfect yet you come back every week to the free food again.

we don't need these kind of mickey mouse games in this great sport of ours.
They are a joke ands they make us a laughing stock
They aren't traditional.
On the other hand people could actually open their minds and realise that we are in the process of bullding a tradition here.
God I'm so sick of the miserable self serving gets that inhabit Rugby League
They're actually more traditional opposition than Australia!
I always thought a game against "Other Nationalities" was quite traditional! Can't win either way!

- Seahorse pattern HERE
- scissors
- shaving cream
- acrylic paint (variety of colors)
- container for mixing the shaving cream and paint (must be large enough to press the sea horse into)
- squeegee
- hole punch
- yarn
3. Press your seahorse down into the paint, making sure every part is touching. After leaving it there for a several seconds, lift it out carefully. This is what my son's seahorse looked like after taking it out of the paint.
4. Let it dry for a couple minutes and then squeegee the excess shaving cream and paint off of the seahorse. When you are done, it amazingly looks like this:
5. Let it dry completely. I used a black marker to draw the fin back on it. I couldn't see the lines anymore through the paint, so I just had to wing it.
6. Use your hole punch to punch holes around the seahorse's head to add his hair. The pattern has pre-made places to punch the holes but you might not be able to see them after painting, so I just put the holes wherever I wanted. Cut some pieces of yarn for your child to pull through the holes and tie a knot. If the yarn pieces are uneven you can trim them to make them even after your child is finished tying the knots.
7. After his hair is attached glue on a wiggly eye to complete your seahorse.

Shouldn't it be ready by now? The longer apocoplay wait the more ppl will jump ship...
But seriously, the AH is really the last straw for this game: I have the feeling that apocoplay will go bankrupt before they can open the AH.
MysteryMan wrote:There's been some shifting around. I'll make a post on this thread in a couple days.
The AH bit will not be as good as you expected, but the rest will hopefully make up for it.
It's generally all good news.
As for my presence on the forums - I've not been neglecting alteil, it's actually been the opposite... performing my tasks became all-consuming time-wise. I'll try and fix that.

next 152 triplet I get in december, before I cannot compare, so cannot give a honest answere this moment, sorry, you need to wait
Well Markus, I got a 152/F8 triplet the other day so just send me a sample of the new doublet and I'll make the comparison for you.
My triplet is a seriously good scope, mechanically and optically. Right up there with the 130/9 I used to own. I was concerned about spherochromatism but that concern went away in about 3 seconds while doing the star test...and I'm slow. My only carp is that I wish the tube was 25-30mm shorter so that I can reach focus with my Denks with the power switch attached without the OCS in the optical path. I can get to focus without the power switch but that limits my high power viewing to ~150X.
Markus is to be congratulated for bringing this and the Chinese sourced new light weight doublets to the market for us visual folks!
Now how about the 175/F9 doublet!?
Posted 26 September 2012 - 09:27 AM
next 152 triplet I get in december, before I cannot compare, so cannot give a honest answere this moment, sorry, you need to wait
Thanks for your reply!
I'm interested in having such a hi-end class 6" APO for visual use only. So I'd like to make sure the practical differences of optical performance between the two types. Waiting……
Posted 27 September 2012 - 10:47 AM
if we see this 6" doublet will be accepted well in the market we will do bigger and smaller doublets.
One of my employee made a super compact OTA for his Tak FC 125, his total tube can be moved inside 3 parts, so it becomes airline portable. A design I have not seen anywhere in the world.
This design allo us to make the doublet super compact for transport
Posted 27 September 2012 - 10:49 AM
However excact focused, its colorfree on moon, planets, vega , venus, not even a hint of halo :-), thanks to to the perfect visual optimisation from Massimo Riccardi and LZOS
Posted 06 October 2012 - 04:32 PM
the LZOS doublet show in-focuse no color at all, almost any doublet apo even with Fluorite show a purple halo on bright stars, the Riccardi designed does NOT

Operational life is very demanding, both physically and mentally. The repetitive mechanics and constant pounding your body endures day in and day out can take its toll. If you do not allow your body to properly recover, you increase your injury potential and, eventually, you could find yourself with nagging aches and pains that eventually lead to injury. Fortunately, there are strategies you can implement to help your body recover, a process we refer to as regeneration. It's important to realize that the things you do at rest are just as important as the work you perform. If you focus on having high-quality rest and regeneration, you'll be able to get more return on investment from every step of your training. Recovery activities will relieve your body of aches and pains, decrease inflammation and improve tissue quality. Within the Recovery training component, we will focus on increasing your flexibility, ensuring your body is balanced, and isolating and relieving built-up tension within your muscles.
A foam roll, or foam roller, is a useful training tool to use as part of
your recovery or regeneration plan. Sizes vary, but this cylindrical
piece of tightly packed foam is roughly 5 inches in diameter and typically
between one and three feet long.
Foam rolling uses deep compression to help roll out muscle adhesions, or knots, that develop over time. Think of your muscle as a shoelace. It has a certain length to it. If it gets in a knot and you pull both ends of the shoestring, the knot gets tighter. You need to work the knot out with your fingers to restore the original length of the shoelace. The same goes for muscles. Sometimes stretching is not what you need. By working out those knots in the muscle, which often arise from inactivity or repetitive activity, you'll be able to restore the muscle to its original length, thus making it more pliable and functional.
You can use the foam roll for all your major muscle groups. Glide your body over the foam roll to work each area individually, such as the backs of your legs or your lower back. Pause at any tender points for at least 30 seconds before moving on to the next region. Only apply as much pressure as you can tolerate and build up the amount of time you spend foam rolling. Your muscle tissue will begin to get used to this new sensation and be more and more willing to accept the new form of self massage that you've implemented into your routine.
Foam rolling is like a massage. The compression causes your nerves to relax, loosens muscle, increases blood flow, and helps your body recover. In other words, foam rolling can alleviate soreness and make your muscles feel better.
You can use a foam roll anywhere or anytime. Many people enjoy rolling while watching television or before bedtime. Others do it at the start or end of a training session or after sitting in the same position for hours. Don't limit yourself to the areas targeted in your training program. Use the foam roll anywhere you feel tight and in need of a massage.
You'll probably enjoy the foam roll routine -- everyone likes massages. Still, there'll be some uncomfortable moments, as there would be during a professional massage. The first time you use a foam roll, it might be a little painful, but that's just a sign that you stand to benefit greatly from using it. Once you're past the first few weeks, though, it'll get considerably easier and more comfortable. The foam roll is a great barometer of the quality of your muscle and connective tissue. The better it feels, and the less it hurts, the higher the quality of your tissue.
You could use a basketball instead of a foam roller. Tennis balls, soft balls, baseballs, medicine balls and lacrosse balls are also effective, but foam rolls are better suited for beginners since they're less dense. The massage stick is a great tool to use in conjunction with a foam roll. For example, you may want to use a massage stick when traveling, or to more closely target tight areas, while using the foam roll at home or in the gym for a general massage all over.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - Dr. Allen L. Sessoms, president of the University of the District of Columbia, has been fired, according to a statement by UDC.
The university's Board of Trustees made the announcement of the termination of Sessoms' contract late Wednesday night.
Sessoms became university president in September 2008. Previously he had been president at Delaware State University and Queens College of New York City.
A temporary replacement for Sessoms will be named within 48 hours, according to the statement, which thanked Sessoms "for his work in guiding the University over the past four years...But as we grapple with the challenges of reducing staff and programs, continuing to improve our physical plant and attracting new students, the Board has decided to go in a different direction."
The Board statement indicates it has also begun interviewing candidates to serve as Interim President, who will be chosen by mid-January, then serve approximately six to 18 months during a national search for a permanent replacement.

Thanks for the chance to win.
Monitor Audio Airstream WS100 Sweepstakes
According to the company:
If you're one of the millions who store and play music from a desktop or laptop, Monitor Audio has designed the WS100 wireless audio system with you in mind. It comprises a pair of stylish cube speakers with amps and wireless receiver on-board. The matching, compact monitors, just 5" in dimension, are precision engineered to deliver clean wideband lossless audio from any computer in seconds. Simply position the speakers, plug-in the USB transmitter and play CD quality sound wire-free.
Built for peerless ease of use, the WS100 operates with plug and play simplicity. Power up the speakers with a single mains connection and plug the SKAA transmitter dongle in the nearest USB. When in range of the transmitter (up to 10 metres) as many as four WS100 systems will receive the same source. Further dongles will send pristine lossless audio from up to four sources to the same WS100 system. Integrated with each DAC is a specialised wireless receiver, employing a very high quality digital audio protocol to transport audio from source to destination without compression. Operating in the 2.4GHz band, it protects the lossless signal from other networks with a patented Walking Frequency Diversity™ (WFD) technology, which uses sophisticated and seamless channel-hopping to eliminate clicks, pops and dropouts.
Each active speaker has been optimised to deliver the best audio experience possible from such a space-efficient system. Excellent acoustic design is dovetailed with advanced wireless architecture to maintain a clear signal path from source to speaker, free of the distortion that limits the enjoyment of music. Additionally, the WS100 monitors employ custom-designed tweeters and mid-bass drivers based on the C-CAM transducers used by Monitor Audio's flagship hi-fi speakers. Four decades of design knowhow give the WS100 system a specialised advantage, which rewards music lovers with fabulous lossless audio and robust reliability.

New desk needs new speakers. No money left, need to win sweepstakes.
: >)
I could sure put these to good use.
I would very much like to win, please!! :-D
I want these so i can reinact the scene in office space and destroy my current speaker setup.
If it is, it'd be a very attractive product for non-audiophiles as well.
In the spirit of the NSA, allow me to monitor the monitors. Thanks.
this is perfect for my needs right now.
Have MA RX6 in my main system. Would love these for a desktop system
For in my lab. Need speakers for streaming music
They'll do nicely, thank you
Sweet little things .... I'll take them if I win them!
Probably didn't even spell it right.
Oh yeah!
I have got to win something, someday...
Maybe this is the one...
I would like to win, have an opportunity to review these speakers and give an opinion based on my listening experience. Good luck to me !!!
If I keep entering these I'll eventually win, right?
I will laugh so hard when JohnnyR wins.
No chance in %#!# i will win these little guys.
My speakers cost me 3.99$
I would quite enjoy owning these
Would love to present them to a certain someone . . . (even though I want to keep them!)
This Monitor Audio speaker would work well in our place.
Let my ears measure it.
These look pretty nice.
Generous giveaway :)
We could always use more equipment!
They provide clean wideband lossless audio when applied to computers and cd players. But how do they perform as monitors?
And can they be used as monitors. That what I would do. They could be my fillin monitors so I would not have to use my
home theatre monitors. They don't sound bad for the money though! They are neat and kind of cool looking! I would love to
try them out for free.
They would be perfect for work!
Already a Monitor Audio home! These will fit right in.

Questions still linger after a 25-year-old pedestrian was hit and killed by an oncoming car one mile north of Pueblo.
Colorado State Patrol is working to find out why Sergio Loredo-Perez of Colorado Springs would have been standing in the middle of a busy stretch of interstate.
Troopers say the victim was standing in the left northbound lane on I-25, and was struck by a car traveling 75 mph. The force of impact sent him into the right lane of traffic. He died at the scene.
Today, a witness came forward and told police Loredo-Perez was standing in the right-hand lane of I-25 looking west. The eyewitness said the man 'looked like he was in a daze' and didn't react to cars passing by.
The driver, a 57-year-old from Colorado Springs, called for help after the accident.
The crash happened at 9 p.m. Wednesday between mile marker 103-104 in Pueblo, which is near the Eden exit. Northbound lanes were closed for three hours.
State Patrol says the driver will not face any charges because the victim was standing in oncoming traffic.
Reports today from the coroner's office in Pueblo County reveal that Loredo-Perez's cause of death was blunt-force trauma. They are still awaiting a toxicology report.

I am having an issue with my tableviews as I pop one tableview off my navigation controller and then pushing a new one on with similar data for the source. Somehow I am seeing cells from the old tableview. Any ideas?
if these are two different table views you probably want to give them different reuse identifiers, e.g.
for the FirstTable: UITableViewCell* cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"FirstTableViewCell"];
for the SecondTable: UITableViewCell* cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"SecondTableViewCell"];
Wow, just figured it out, I was dequeing cells (And using Custom Cells) to increase responsiveness and storing the references in memory, and when I popped the old tableview off I was setting it to animate the pop. This somehow held the cells in memory just long enough so that when I pushed the new UITableView on the stack, it was accessing the de-qued cells and presenting them instead of the new data. So if you plan on presenting similar data and are popping off a UITableView to replace it with the new data, pop it without animation...

Laughing Shino (笑うシノ, Warau Shino) is episode 186 of the original Naruto anime.
Naruto and Shino were sent on a mission to Motoyoshi Village to help a man inherit his wealth before his greedy siblings by standing in at the funeral in, so the man won't be tempted to laugh and lose his inheritance. On their way, they encounter an old woman who is leaving town who gives them a suspicious warning. While guarding the man and trying to prevent him from laughing, Shino eats dinner first to prevent any poison from entering their host because his insects will neutralise the poison. He ends up laughing, and the insects can't neutralise the poison. Naruto was then forced to stand in for Shino. At the funeral, the other guests tried every way to make Naruto laugh, but all in vain with the help of Shino's bugs. In the end it is revealed that the old lady Shino and Naruto met earlier was the 'dead' father, and he had staged his own death and the ridiculous will to make the family laugh again. Shino later threatens Naruto not to ever tell anyone that he made a joke.

Pandora set to the salsa station? Check. The taco bar's set up. With homemade guacamole – obviously. You're a champ. But the fact is, it's no party without the proper beverage. From the blog Love and Lemons: Spicy Jalapeño Margaritas.
Click the recipe card to download and print.
Jeanine Donofrio of Love and Lemons suggests mixing the margaritas with regular tequila, then preparing a jalapeño-infused tequila for guests to add to their drinks to taste. But, if you're for spicy all the way, I say shake it up with the infused version from the start. If the taste is too sharp, add a slice or two of cucumber to balance the heat.

Then, on to the ROCK 'N' SOUL MUSEUM, which traces Memphis' cultural and musical past. End the day with a visit to SUN STUDIO, probably the most famous recording studio in the world, where rock 'n' roll was first recorded. Hear outtakes from sessions, touch Elvis' first microphone, see memorabilia, and relive the history of the studio that launched the careers of Johnny Cash, BB King, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and many other music legends.
Today we journey to Tupelo, Mississippi, to visit the ELVIS' BIRTHPLACE & MUSEUM, a small, 2-room house built by the singer's father, Vernon Presley. You will also visit the Elvis Presley Museum, featuring "Remembrance of Things Past," an exhibit displaying memorabilia from Elvis' childhood. It's here that you can see, feel, and touch where the "King of Rock 'n' Roll" began his musical journey. Return to Memphis, "Home of the Blues," where the evening is free for independent activities. You may choose to visit one of the famous clubs on Beale Street, immortalized in WC Handy's famous songs, or sample some famous Memphis barbecue.
Today is dedicated to a guided audio tour of GRACELAND. Experience life as Elvis did by walking through the decadent and quirky rooms where he felt truly at home. Finish your tour of Graceland with a visit to the Meditation Garden, where Elvis often went to reflect on life, and where he is now laid to rest along with members of his family. Tonight's accommodations are at Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel (for early 2016 departures) or the Guest House at Graceland (for late 2016 departures).
Today we head to Nashville—"Music City USA." Visit the JOHNNY CASH MUSEUM, where you will see never-before-seen historical documents, awards, costumes, and instruments. Then settle in for a PRIVATE PERFORMANCE & DISCUSSION with Johnny and June's only son, John Carter Cash. John Carter will entertain you with his own original music, as well as a few numbers made famous by his legendary family, and he'll even be available for photographs and autographs afterward. NOTE:In the event that the performance with John Carter Cash is not available, a private performance with John Carter's son, brother, or granddaughter will be substituted. The Cash family will share their memories and perform the songs of Johnny Cash. All performances are subject to availability.
Nashville is the ideal destination for music fans, history buffs, and lovers of the South. Start your day with a visit to STUDIO B, Nashville's oldest surviving recording studio and one of the country's most important. Between 1957 and 1977, more than 35,000 songs were recorded here, including 262 Elvis Presley recordings. Studio B is a "must-see" for any music fan, but especially for those who love Elvis. Afterward, enjoy an orientation tour of the city, passing by famous Music Row recording studios, the center of the recording industry, which first developed in the 1950s. Get behind the scenes of the music industry by visiting the COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME with its glittering costumes, rare instruments, and Elvis Presley's "solid-gold" Cadillac. Tonight, see an unforgettable show at the world-famous GRAND OLE OPRY, the world's premier country music venue since 1925 and the setting for the nation's longest-running music show.
Today is at leisure to explore more of this vibrant city. You may choose to visit the historic Ryman Auditorium, restored home of the Grand Ole Opry from 1943-1974. Perhaps visit the Hermitage, home of Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States, where you'll have an opportunity to view the fully restored mansion, walk through the gardens, and see the tomb of the late president.

Caspian Sea
Caspian Sea viewed from a satellite platform. Source: NASA
The Caspian Sea is the largest land enclosed surface water body on Earth by surface area, which amounts to approximately 371,000 square kilometres.
It is in an endorheic basin bounded on the south by Iran, on the north by Russia, on the east by Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, and on the west by Azerbaijan.
To the ancient Greeks and Persians, the lake's immense size suggested it was an ocean, hence its name. The northern part of the lake is just 5 to 6 m (16 to 20 ft) deep. The southern end, however, plunges more than 1,000 m (3,300 ft). Just as the lake reaches a greater depth in the south, the nearby land reaches a greater height.

The mountains of northern Iran line the southern end of the giant lake. In marked contrast to the mountains, sand seas line the southeastern and northern perimeters of the lake, and marshes occur along the lake shores in Azerbaijan to the west.
Multiple rivers empty into the Caspian Sea, the Volga being the largest.
Lacking an outlet, the Caspian Sea loses water only by evaporation, leading to the accumulation of salt. Although a lake, the Caspian is not a freshwater lake; the water delivered by the Volga River minimizes the lake's salt content at the northern end, but the Caspian grows more saline to the south. Kara-Bogaz-Gol is a saline inlet along the lake's eastern perimeter.
The volume of this endorheic basin is roughly 78,200 cubic kilometers.
This water body became landlocked approximately five and one half million years ago, due to tectonic uplift and subsiding ocean levels. Since its origin was as a part of the ancient Paratethys Sea, the Caspian Sea has a pronounced salinity, although it is only about one third the saline content of the world oceans due to isolation and freshwater influx.
The Caspian Sea is the largest surface body of water on Earth (as measured in surface area) that is surrounded by land; in fact, the volume of water in the Caspian Sea is approximately two fifths of the total world lake water volume.
The Caspian Sea can be considered as comprised of three distinct physical regions: the northern, middle and southern Caspian. The transition between north and middle sections is known as the Mangyshlak Threshold, which extends through Chechen Island and Cape Tiub-Karagan. The dividing line between the middle and south sections is termed the Apsheron Threshold, a sill of tectonic origin[1] that runs through Zhiloi Island and Cape Kuuli.[2] Garabogazköl Bay is a saline eastern inlet of the Caspian, which is part of Turkmenistan and in earlier times has been a separate lake being divided by an isthmus which divides it from the Caspian itself.
Divisions between the three regions are dramatic. The northern reach consists of an extremely shallow zone known as the Caspian shelf,[3] .This shelf amounts to less than one percent of the water volume of the total Caspian with an average depth of only about five metres. The water depth increases substantially in the mddle Caspian, where the mean depth is 190 m and the water volume is about one third of the total Caspian Sea. The southern Caspian is deeper yet, reaching a maximum depth exceeding one kilometer; the southern Caspian comprises almost two thirds of the sea's volume. The northern portion characteristically freezes over every winter, but only in the most severe winter will the southern reach experience even a thin ice surface.
There are more than 130 rivers or streams that discharge to the Caspian Sea, the Volga River being the highest influx. A second affluent, the Ural River, flows in from the north, and the Kura River flows into the sea from the west.
In earlier times the Amu Darya River of Central Asia in the east frequently changed course to discharge into the Caspian through a now-desiccated riverbed called the Uzboy River, as in the case of the Syr Darya farther to the north. The Caspian holds several small islands chiefly situated in the north and have a collective land area of approximately 2000 square kilometres.
Adjacent to the north Caspian is the Caspian Depression, a very low-lying area approximately 27 metres below mean sea level. The Kazakh forest steppe extends across the northeast coast, while the greater Caucasus mountains line the western coastline. The biomes to both the north and east can be described as cold, continental deserts. Conversely, the climate to the southwest and south is warm with uneven elevation due to a mix of highlands and mountain ranges; the dramatic changes in climate alongside the Caspian have led to considerable biodiversity in the region.
A large expanse of clear sky permitted this natural-color satellite image of the entire water body. The color of the Caspian Sea darkens from north to south, thanks to changes in depth and perhaps sediment and other runoff. The mountains of northern Iran line the southern end of the giant lake, and emerald green vegetation clings to those mountain slopes. Image courtesy of NASA.
|Baku is Azerbaijan's major city, and the oil capital of the Caspian region. This photo shows details of the city, including the extensive port facilities, and part of the large web of offshore oil platforms in the Caspian Sea. The oil platforms off Baku were built in the 1950s and 1960s, and were the first offshore oil-drilling efforts in the world. Today, multinational oil exploration, sea-level rise (the Caspian Sea has risen more than 2 m in the past 20 years), offshore platform maintenance, and environmental degradation are all hot topics in Baku.

The Caspian Sea has important ecological resources not only in its waters, but also on its numerous islands and vast coastal areas. Within the sea itself is a sizable sturgeon population; this species is well known due to the harvest of sturgeon roe that are processed into Caspian Sea caviar. Overfishing of sturgeon has reduced the sturgeon fishery, such that many have called for a ban on the taking of sturgeon. Although some regulations have been adopted to protect sturgeon stocks, the lucrative caviar market renders enforcement of these statutes problematic. Caviar harvesting is particularly destructive to the sturgeon population, since the practise targets reproductive females.
The Caspian seal (Phoca caspica), is an endemic speciesto the Caspian Sea, and is one of the few pinnipeds to occur in inland waters (The Baikal seal and Saimaa Ringed seal also share this characteristic). The Caspian Sea lends its name to several species of birds, including the Caspian gull and the Caspian tern. Most of the fish species within the Caspian are freshwater species, who are adapted to the brackish conditions; Greater pipefish, Hardyheads and two mullet species are the only chief true sea species found in the Caspian. There are several fish taxa endemic to the Caspian, including the Caspian white fish, Caspian Rutilus, Caspian bream (There are certain sightings of the latter species within the Aral Sea.), and a Caspian salmonoid, the Caspian salmon, Salmo trutta caspiensis, which is classified as critically endangered.
There are a number of alien aquatic species that have been introduced into the Caspian Sea from other world regions that have been acknowledged as invasive in status; these include the New Zealand mud snail, Potamopyrgus antipodium, and the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis.[4] Dumont et al. assert that there is an urgent need for further documentation regarding invasive species in the Caspian Sea, since these populations appear to be expanding at an "alarming rate".
The Caspian Sea is afflicted with significant water pollution, much of the source being influx from the Volga River, containing both industrial chemicals as well as eutrophic inducing fertiliser loading.
Prehistoric habitation on the shores of the Caspian is documented as early as Paleolithic times; however, much of the research has been directed at human occupation of the Hotu and Belt Caves in the eastern Mazandaran region of northern Persia, based upon Neolithic horizons circa 5000 BC. The early presence of man on the shores of the Caspian was inextricably linked with the Caspian seal.[5]
At the time of Herodotus, the Caspian Sea was considered an outer limit of the known world. Herodotus described the area of the Caspian Sea and the River Araxes as lands beyond the Persians, Medes and Colchians, about which little is known.[6] The Caspian was noted by the Venetian explorer Marco Polo, who gave it the name Abakko Sea. Certain ancient ports on the Caspian such as Abaskun were noted by Ptolemaeus in the second century.[7] Medieval explorers from all directions continued to probe the Caspian region.
The first true scientific expeditions to the Caspian Sea were conducted by the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences in the period 1768 to 1774. These Russian led explorations included geography, natural history and even sea level fluctuation studies of the Caspian, and extended as far as the Iranian shores. The German scientist Otto Wilhelm Hermann von Abich can, however, be credited with the late nineteenth century geological research that proved to be the basis for modern oil and gas exploitation of the region.

Jenna replies:
I am 20 years old and I cannot insert anything into my vagina, not even a tampon. After a month of practice, I have managed to be able to insert a finger about halfway into my vaginal canal. After that I freak out because it's uncomfortable and I pull out very quickly, which hurts a bit.
I know I'm not the only one with this problem because one of my close friends has it too, but I haven't figured out what to do about it. I would really like to be able to have vaginal sex sometime in the future, if not exactly now, or at the very least be able to use tampons! I haven't figured out anything that works.
amenie358's question continued:
I should mention that I've seen a gynecologist and she says there's no sort of physical impediment involved and that if I practice I'll be able to do it, but it's so uncomfortable. It's not getting easier. When I visit the gynecologist I have to be tanked up on valium, and I'm the sort of person who can go through major surgical operations without flinching.
I don't have any history of sexual abuse. There's no reason for this problem to be affecting me, but it is, and I know I'm not the only one.
I haven't been able to find any information or advice! Would using more lubrication help? Should I try practicing a certain way? Just how unusual is this problem? Thank you for all of the work that you do.
Thank you for your question. You are not the only one to experience discomfort with vaginal insertion. I am glad that you visited a gynecologist, just to rule out any other possibilities and ensure that you do not have any health issues. There are different types of vaginal conditions that make putting something inside the vagina painful or impossible, but a gynecologist would be able to tell you if you had any of those.
Many people with vaginas, in different places in their lives, experience vaginal discomfort during partnered sex, masturbation, or during non-sexual penetration like putting in a tampon. An important part in dealing with vaginal discomfort is understanding your body and how it works and how it can change when you're aroused. Being in touch with your body and what works for you can make a world of difference in your sexual life.
The vagina, or vaginal canal, changes size depending on your level of sexual arousal. When one is not aroused, the vaginal walls are usually touching each other, and the vaginal canal is a few inches long. However, once someone becomes turned on, it can expand in both width and length, kind of like a balloon! In addition to expanding in size, the vagina also might produce more fluid when one is turned on. While everyone's level of vaginal lubrication and degree of vaginal length and width expansion is different, generally speaking, these are the changes you would expect to see when aroused. These changes are what can make solo or partnered sexual activities easier, more comfortable, and more enjoyable than they would be if physical and mental arousal weren't happening.
Sometimes when people explore their vaginas, it is when they are not turned on at all or very much, so the vaginal canal can feel smaller, or less lubricated. Waiting until one feels sexually aroused, or exploring what one needs to increase one's feelings of arousal, can often help. If you want to learn more about arousal, I suggest taking a look at Sexual Response and Orgasm: A User's Guide.
In addition to being affected by arousal, your vagina can also be affected by stress!
When you are stressed or feeling any type of pressure, tension, or frustration, your muscles tense up. This can affect the muscles around your genitals. This is really important to understand, particularly when you are exploring putting anything inside the vagina, because being relaxed and going slow can make a huge difference.
Muscle tension can sometimes be hard to detect. You may not be feeling tense. Whether or not you feel tension, you can try breathing slowly and deeply, and consciously relaxing your pelvic area, or even your entire body.
If you are putting pressure on yourself with an end goal of being able to insert your entire finger or tampon, then it is less likely that your muscles will be relaxed. Mental tension can lead to physical tension, which can lead to the kind of discomfort you're describing.
Many people do find that putting something inside of the vagina, especially the first few times, can be uncomfortable. However, it shouldn't be painful, and it's helpful to differentiate between the two sensations. Pain is your body's way of telling you that you are doing something that isn't good for your body, but being uncomfortable sometimes simply means that you are experiencing a sensation that your body isn't used to. For many people, the first few (or several) times of putting something inside of the vagina feels weird, because it might be a completely new sensation. Uncomfortable, weird, or unfamiliar feelings aren't necessarily pain, though they can feel scary. I definitely encourage you to pay attention to what you are feeling, figure out whether it's pain or something less serious than that, and stop whatever you are doing if you are feeling any pain.
Now that you have some more information about how the vagina can change depending on your state of mind and physical arousal, here are some things that you can take into consideration.
The best thing that you can do for yourself is to listen to your body. If you feel pain or a lot of discomfort, don't push it! If you feel like the discomfort is more due to unfamiliarity and nervousness, try taking a deep breath, consciously relaxing, and see what happens. Only you know what is best for you, and what your body is okay with. There's no timeline you have to follow in terms of what your body can do or how ready you feel for any sort of sexual activities.
Now that you have a better idea of how your vagina changes and responds to insertion depending on how turned on you are, whether you are using lubrication, whether you are stressed out, et cetera, hopefully you are able to explore your body in a safe, comfortable and enjoyable way.
If you continue to experience discomfort or pain, I would recommend seeing a healthcare provider again. Sometimes having a second opinion is helpful, especially if your initial doctor's feedback doesn't seem right. You'll want to be as specific as you can with your doctor about what your experiences are, and make sure they conduct an exam. Having extreme difficulty with insertion can, as I mentioned above, indicate a medical condition, such as vaginismus.
For help finding a different doctor, feel free to look around on Scarleteen's Find-a-Doc search tool.

San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Bronson Arroyo spun seven stellar innings
of one-hit ball on Sunday, and the Cincinnati Reds blanked the San Francisco
Giants, 9-0, in Game 2 of their National League Division Series at AT&T Park.
Arroyo (1-0) struck out four and walked just one to earn his first career
postseason victory.
Ryan Hanigan registered three RBI, Jay Bruce plated a pair and Ryan Ludwick
added a solo homer for the Reds, who won 5-2 in Game 1 on Saturday.
Madison Bumgarner (0-1) was tagged with the loss after giving up four runs on
seven hits and a walk over 4 1/3 frames.
Pablo Sandoval had the lone extra-base hit for San Francisco, which now looks
to become the first NL team in Division Series history to rally from an 0-2
deficit to win the series.
Game 3 of this best-of-five series is slated for Tuesday in Cincinnati.

Looks cool! I love the palette and the techy stuff looks cool, especially the shaft entry thing. What's the red dotted line?
My only concern is about the water/liquid. Might just be my eyes but it looks like a puddle with high surface tension...i.e. it looks as if it's sitting on top of the land. For me it sort of ruins the scale a bit; it makes the whole thing appear to be miniature.

I am 18 years old, and I am scared to touch my sperm. And when I do masturbate, I feel like I'm spreading it everywhere. If I even ejaculate or touch something with sperm on my hand, I am scared to death to touch it. Even 2 days later I feel like if I touch the spot I'll have sperm on me. I am miserable because I can't even masturbate, nor do I even enjoy having a wet dream. Can I really spread sperm or get it on me after touching something in two days, or will the sperm be dead?
