Rose looks spectacular! How can she be 100?! A real inspiration to someone like me -- only 65. To think, I have 25 more years to enjoy "stepping out".

And she is wearing a Hermè Collier De Chien belt!
And trousers on top of that!
I never left you a comment before, but this time I really had to, because of her belt and because of her attitude, she made me think that this is the way I want to be at 100.
(BTW, in case you guessed it, I have the same belt and I am a big fan of the Collier De Chien line by Hermès)

I have just discovered your wonderful blog. I am 49 and feel I am heading into the next exciting half of my life, however I felt I was at a bit of an in between stage with fashion; was I dressing too young/too old and was looking for new fashion/life inspiration tips. I have been blown away by the fantastic, positive ladies I have had the pleasure to become acquainted with via your blog and they have showed me that fashion is an attitude not just a piece of clothing. I also enjoy reading their health/beauty/life info as well and I am looking forward to purchasing your book, with best wishes from Gail in Australia.

Being vital at an older age must be a much greater challenge than being vital at any age, especially at a younger age. I see people as young as in their early twenties not being very active or even being withdrawn.
I've been wondering if personal style always indicates just how active one is. I mean generally, regardless of age.

Uncyclopedia:DYK submissions
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
This is where you can submit Did You Know entries. List your submission(s) below, and if the admins decide it's worthwhile, it will be added to the main page template. You can sign your submissions if you want.
Q: Why is DYK locked?
A: Because when it was freely editable, the admins felt it was too funny and dangerous to the website's reputation.
Q: I thought this website hated lists.
A: Yes, but it hates vandalism more, and this page might keep you busy.
Q: When will my submission appear?
A: When an admin decides it's good enough for the front page. Making this decision is low priority for most admins. It may not be updated with new submissions frequently, and many entries will be deleted without making it to the main template. Here's how to maximise your chances:
- Search the current DYKs and make sure yours isn't a repeat. No, "...that 75.8% of statistics are made up" won't cut it, sorry. You can press Ctrl+F to search some keywords.
- Link to good pages in your DYK.
Q: What is the template format?
A: All the DYKs are thrown into a blender using the <choose> tags. That means only a few DYKs, picked at random, appear on the front page each time you load it. So no, your little gift will not always come up. The reason we hate lists is that they (that is, you) tend to tell the same joke over and over again, and if your third copy is selected to be on the page, no one will ever know you really typed fifteen of them.
Q: What about "Do You Care"?
A: Do You Care entries are mainly for highlighting great past articles.
Q: May I begin, then?
A: If you must. Type your suggestion into Section 1. If you type it at the very end of the page, we'll know all we need to know about you.
Did You Know...
- That the chances of Eminem reading this are pretty slim?
- That on the nth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me a total of gifts?
- That it has recently become fashionable to put question marks on these?
- That Stairway to Heaven is the opposite of Highway to Hell?
- That the fact that "if I go there will be trouble and if I stay it will be double" means that it would be advisable for The Clash to go, in order to avoid the doubleness of the trouble, because the double trouble that would ensue if they stay is surely worse, by virtue of its doubleness, than the single trouble that would result from them going?
- That those suspicious white stains on your professor's blazer are in fact mayonnaise?
- That the Google Street View car replace their cameras with potatoes once they enter the Connecticut border?
- That most people don't read directions and need an "example" to get them started?
- That rules exist inside and outside the mind, but an "example" is an intermediate? And this is an example of a rule and I am not a guru?
- That the observer makes his own lists based on the lists of others? So lists learn from lists, like wise men learn off fools!
- That without lists, we feel listless?
- That irony extends beyond the line and even the mind? How ironic.. But even more ironic is that "irony" does not appear in the bible?
- That Dog is offended by this statement?
- That 9/11 might not have even happened if explosives hadn't been invented? But more to the point, if dates had not been invented?
- That being controversial is neither easier said nor done?
- That Nelson Mandela was killed by George Zimmerman, a neighbourhood watch coordinator where Mandela was temporarily staying?
- That water parks are all on the edge of being 100% pee?
- That after the 2001 terrorist attacks, the "Freedom Fries" folks also boycotted Arabic numerals? This resulted in many IX/XI bumper stickers.
- That if you're not sleeping then most probably you're awake....or on internet.
- That dying is the No. 1 cause of death in the world?
- That I have superpowers?
- Antarctica is more of a circle and less of a line?
Suggested Images

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook will have surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee and be out indefinitely.
The Thunder announced the injury Friday.
Westbrook was hurt in Game 2 of the Thunder's playoff series against Houston on Wednesday night. Rookie Patrick Beverley lunged into him trying for a steal in the second quarter and his hip collided with Westbrook's knee.
Westbrook has never previously missed a game in his four NBA seasons.

The first major regional flora ever written in Spanish, Flora Mesoamericana is a collaborative effort of the Missouri Botanical Garden the Instituto de Biología of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the Natural History Museum, London, and numerous specialists world-wide. In Spanish, the Flora describes, for the first time, all the vascular plants growing in the southeasternmost states of Mexico (including the Yucatán Peninsula) and all the Central American republics. The project publishes its results in this Internet version (W3FM), as well as in printed volumes. W3FM first appeared on the Internet in 1994 from the Natural History Museum server. It is currently being made available from a Missouri Botanical Garden server and was converted to a real-time version during October 1997. UNAM published the first printed volume, Volume 6: Alismataceae a Cyperaceae in March 1994; Volume 1: Psilotaceae a Salviniaceae in November 1995. and Volume 4(2): Cucurbitaceae a Polemoniaceae in November 2009. Books are available through the Missouri Botanical Garden Missori Botanical Garden Press, and for Mexico, from the Instituto de Biología (UNAM).
The Internet version of Flora Mesoamericana (W3FM) is organized in a species page format. When a species is not yet treated in full, it is presented in a checklist format. You may search the Flora for any scientific name or you may browse an index. Each page is assembled on demand from data in the Flora Mesoamericana production database as a query is made by the user, and each web page thus represents the latest up-to-date information. The finished treatments include nomenclature, type data, synonymy, descriptions, and potentially images, identification keys, voucher specimens, maps, and under the Choose Project drop-down menu, taxon-to-taxon links to alternate taxonomic treatments. Any part of W3FM may be updated at anytime as new and more up-to-date information become available. We appreciate being notified about errors and will make every effort to correct these as soon as possible.
Descriptions are intended to be parallel and, therefore, easy to compare. Please note that for volumes already printed, updates may have been made; in other words, the W3FM descriptions are not necessarily the same as those in the printed volumes.
Dichotomous keys can be found below the descriptions of the next-higher-taxon; for example, keys to species are found after the generic description to which those species belong; similarly, keys to genera are found after the family description to which those genera belong.
Specimen data is provided for all specimens recorded in the Mesoamerican portion of the Tropicos database. We welcome data sets that can be used by the project .
Distribution maps are being made available only for taxa for which we have voucher specimens with precise geographical coordinates.
W3FM is the primary means by which changes since the publication of a printed volume of Flora Mesoamericana are being tracked. Such updates are documented by literature references, and/or comments and new observations from contributors, and/or voucher specimens, and appear under the heading New Data on the appropriate species pages. To obtain a list of the taxa with such updates, check off the box named: "Show only Names with new data" on the Name Search screen. Updates that have been made since publication of the Flora Mesoamericana volume containing the family, are currently organized around the following twenty categories of new information:
All other updates are simply incorporated into W3FM as needed.

The Power of Independent Thinking
Water Fight
Recorded: Friday, March 7, 2014
Senior Fellow Randy T. Simmons, co-editor of Aquanomics, looks at the battles over water in the western United States. Thirsty citizens of growing cities, farmers, factories and environmentalists are in a fight for a natural resource that is priced arbitrarily. Its value is determined not by the free market, but by bureaucrats. Outdated government reclamation projects and water policies have put residents of the Golden State at the mercy of the weather, and of government's mandatory regulations.

Alex Kava grew up in rural Nebraska, outside the small town of Silver Creek (population 500). As a child, Alex wrote short stories on the backs of old calendars and scrap paper, sharing them only with her younger brother and hiding them in a shoebox under her bed.
Alex earned an art scholarship to attend college. To pay living expenses, she worked in a nearby hospitals central surgery department scrubbing equipment, utensils and basins from the morgue and surgery departments. She graduated magna cum laude from College of Saint Mary, in Omaha, Nebraska, with a B.A. in Art and English. She has advanced studies and certificates in advertising and marketing.
For the last 15 years, Alex has worked in graphic design, advertising, and public relations. She has designed food packages and logos for national corporations, written brochures and newsletters, created a line of greeting cards, and directed TV and radio commercials. During the summer of 1996, Alex quit her full-time job as a director of public relations in order to dedicate more time to writing fiction and getting published. To pay the bills, she resurrected her home-based graphic design firm, Square One. She refinanced her home, maxed out her credit cards, and even took on a newspaper delivery route.
Also in the summer of 1996, serial killer John Joubert was executed. Alexs inspiration for A Perfect Evil was drawn from her experience while working at a small newspaper in the community where Jouberts rampage had taken place in 1983. His execution reminded her of the terror and panic experienced, not only by that community, but by many parents across Nebraska.
A Perfect Evil is Alexs first novel. She has just finished its sequel, Split Second, and has begun work on her third novel. Besides managing her clients projects at Square One, she also teaches part-time at an area college.
Alex lives in Omaha, Nebraska, with her two dogs, Miss Molly and Scout.


text: Lawyer provides incredibly detailed analysis of Bilbo's contract in The Hobbit Culture 18 January 13 by James Daily Warner Bros. Pictures/New Line Cinema Editor's Note: James Daily, a lawyer and co-author of The Law and Superheroes, typically focuses his legal critiques on the superhero world at the Law and the Multiverse website he runs with fellow lawyer and co-author Ryan Davidson. On 17 January, Daily takes a look a very important cultural document for Wired.com: The contract between Bilbo Baggins and the dwarves in The Hobbit.Ordinarily I don't discuss legal issues relating to fictional settings that are dramatically different from the real world in terms of their legal system. Thus, Star Wars, Star Trek, Tolkien's Middle Earth, etc. are usually off-limits because we can't meaningfully apply real-world law to them. But the contract featured in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was just too good a topic to pass up, especially since you can buy a high-quality replica of it that is over 150 centimetres long when unfolded.First, it seems fairly clear (to me, anyway) that Tolkien wrote the Shire (where hobbits live) as a close analogy to pastoral England, with its similar legal and political structures. For example, the Shire has a mayor and sheriffs, and there is a system of inheritance similar to the common law. The common law fundamentals of contract law have not changed significantly since the time that the Shire is meant to evoke, so it makes sense that the contract would be broadly similar to a modern contract (and likewise that we could apply modern contract law to it).So, without further ado, let's get to it.The Contract in General As mentioned, the contract is quite long. This is in contrast with the contract as described in the book, which is very terse. Its terms amounted to this:For your hospitality our sincerest thanks, and for your offer of professional assistance our grateful acceptance. Terms: cash on delivery, up to and not exceeding one fourteenth of total profits (if any); all travelling expenses guaranteed in any event; funeral expenses to be defrayed by us or our representatives, if occasion arises and the matter is not otherwise arranged for.Even in the book's version we see an issue: the dwarves accept Bilbo's "offer" but then proceed to give terms. This is not actually an acceptance but rather a counter-offer, since they're adding terms. In the end it doesn't matter because Bilbo effectively accepts the counter-offer by showing up and rendering his services as a burglar, but the basic point is that the words of a contract do not always have the legal effect that they claim to have. Sometimes you have to look past the form to the substance.But back to the movie version: It has at least 40 major sections and numerous footnotes and digressions in smaller type. We will begin at the beginning and go on till we reach the end, except where the form of the contract requires some jumping around.Bilbo's Obligations to the Dwarves Two clauses describe Bilbo's primary obligations:I, the undersigned, [referred to hereinafter as Burglar,] agree to travel to the Lonely Mountain, path to be determined by Thorin Oakenshield, who has a right to alter the course of the journey at his so choosing, without prior notification and/or liability for accident or injury incurred.The aforementioned journey and subsequent extraction from the Lonely Mountain of any and all goods, valuables and chattels [which activities are described collectively herein as the Adventure] shall proceed in a timely manner and with all due care and consideration as seen fit by said Thorin Oakenshield and companions, numbering thirteen more or less, to wit, the Company.All contracts require some consideration from all parties to the contract. Consideration, in the contract sense, means a bargained-for performance or promise. Restatement (Second) of Contracts § 71(1). Basically, this is something of value given or promised as part of the agreement. This can be anything that the parties agree is valuable; the classic example is a single peppercorn. Whitney v. Stearns, 16 Me. 394, 397 (1839).Here, Bilbo is promising to go with the Company to the Lonely Mountain and performing various services there, including extracting the treasure, plus a few more services we'll get to later. In turn, as we shall see, the Company promises to pay Bilbo one fourteenth of the profits, plus a few other obligations. Thus we have "a promise for a promise," otherwise known as a bilateral contract.There are some other details to notice in these clauses. One is the use of defined terms (e.g. "referred to hereinafter as Burglar"). The parties to a contract may define terms however they wish, even in ways that contradict the definition used in statutes or regulations.This is important in this case because of the use of the defined term "Burglar." Contracts to do something illegal are ordinarily unenforceable (e.g. collecting on an illegal gambling debt). But here what matters is not that the parties used the word 'burglar' but rather what sort of meaning they assigned to that defined term. As we shall see, the contract doesn't require Bilbo to do anything illegal (or at least not obviously illegal), and so the contract will probably not fail for use of a questionable term.Thorin's Right to Alter the Journey These two clauses also pose something of a contradiction. On the one hand we see the first of many liability waivers:[Thorin has] a right to alter the course of the journey at his so choosing, without prior notification and/or liability for accident or injury incurred." But on the other hand we see this explicit obligation of care: "[the Adventure] shall proceed in a timely manner and with all due care and consideration.Ordinarily "due care and consideration" signifies taking on liability for negligence, so this conflicts with the earlier liability waiver. Perhaps the two can be reconciled by the phrase "as seen fit by said Thorin Oakenshield and companions." Thorin and Co. could always claim that the amount of care and consideration they saw fit was extremely minimal, though that runs the risk of making the clause meaningless, which courts usually don't like to do. "As a general proposition, whenever possible, the law favours reconciliation of clauses within a contract which appear contradictory." City of Columbia v. Paul N. Howard Co., 707 F.2d 338, 340 (8th Cir. 1983). Taken together with the numerous other waivers and disclaimers, I think a court would probably conclude that Thorin & Co. were not taking on any particular duty of care. "A writing is interpreted as a whole." Restatement (Second) of Contracts § 202(2).Waivers or disclaimers of liability are an important part of many contracts. These can include waivers of a product warranty (seen all the time in software license agreements) and waivers for liability due to negligence (often required before doing something dangerous like skydiving). But there are limits to liability waivers. While a party to a contract can ordinarily waive liability for negligence (although not in every jurisdiction), one cannot waive liability for gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. So the numerous (and sweeping!) waivers and disclaimers may not be as effective as they appear at first glance.So far the Dwarves haven't committed any unsalvageable drafting errors or done anything that might jeopardise the validity of the contract. We'll see if that keeps up!Waivers for Notoriety and 'Unlooked-for' Misfortune The next section is yet another waiver:Burglar holds harmless and without blame in perpetuity the Company and its successors for any notoriety, incarceration, or proceedings brought against, in regard to or as a result of the adventure or any activities related thereto.Also includes slander, libel, loss of face or of social standing in country of Burglar's origin.Remedies shall similarly not be sought for any unlooked-for misfortune befalling Burglar's home during his absence.The smaller text is written in the margin or otherwise in smaller writing. There's a lot of that kind of writing in the margins that we'll be referring to as we go through the contract. For the most part the size of the print doesn't matter, but there are some contract terms, such as warranty disclaimers, that must be printed conspicuously, which usually means large print or all caps. UCC §§ 2-316(2), 1-201(b)(10). At common law we suspect the rules were even looser. This set of waivers is not particularly objectionable. As discussed in the prior post, the actual scope of the waiver may not be as broad as the language suggests. For example, if the Dwarves intentionally burned down Bag End, this waiver would not prevent Bilbo from suing them for the damage. It may bear mentioning that the slander waiver only protects the Company. Bilbo could still sue the actual slanderer, of course. Traditionally this has been easier to do in England than the United States. At common law, for example, truth was no defence to criminal libel (also known as seditious libel). Garrison v. Louisiana, 379 US 64, 67-68 (1964). Read page 2 123 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

I love my local cloth diapering mommies, I am even more excited when I find a local cloth diapering mommy shop owner. That's what brings me to my next review from MomBecks.com. I was sent a Tots Bots Easy Fit AIO diaper. I am normally not a fan of Aplix closure, but Tots Bots provides a super thick Velcro that is so easy to use, stays put and is above others, just like this diaper. The Tots Bots Easy Fit is so very easy to use *a grandma diaper* and is super thin and absorbent.
Here are the product details:
"An exceptionally luxurious and soft one-piece diaper with a totally simplified stuffing system. The innovative design of this diaper features the ease of an all-in-one with the flexibility of a pocket diaper. The super thirsty bamboo/microfiber insert is actually attached to the diaper, making the Easy Fit a remarkable all-in-one diaper with many of the benefits of a two piece system — fast drying and easy to clean. The liner consists of 2 layers. Ultra soft rayon made from bamboo fibers against baby's tender skin actually absorbs 70% more quickly than cotton – on contact – no run-off leaking out the side of the diaper when baby pees! And an ultra absorbent layer of 100% polyester microfiber basically doubles the absorbency. Protective side guards of anti-wicking, soft brushed polyester prevent compression leaking. All Tots Bots products are manufactured in their own factory in Glasgow, Scotland from environmentally friendly fabrics. The rayon from bamboo fibers is Oeko–tex certified organic and is produced in a "closed-loop" system which recycles water and chemical output to ensure sustainability. The Cadillac of diapers! One size fits from 8-35 pounds."

There's no elaborately challenging layer of obstacles. The pigs are ridiculously easy to hit. And written across the screen are the words "Marry Me Mel - Ben."
It's not a joke by the Bad Piggies at Rovio. It's a real request from Australian Ben Levi, and it's one his girlfriend Melissa Swift quickly said yes to -- once her shock subsided.
"I remember looking at it and not really comprehending what it meant," she says. "He was down on one knee and it just all fell into place and I just started crying. ... It was just unbelievable."
Levi's a die-hard fan of the Angry Birds games, and when he decided to pop the question, he sent a note to the developers in Finland. To his surprise, they wrote back and said they'd love to help.
The level perches the birds atop a huge heart-shaped structure. One very easy-to-hit pig is nearby, sitting atop the proposal, while six more sit further away on an Australian-shaped structure. Once the pig is hit, the proposal explodes into a shower of bouncing balls, which take care of the other pigs.
Levi not only carefully planned out the way he would propose, he was forward-thinking enough to put hidden cameras around the restaurant to film Mel's reaction. You can watch the drama unfold below:
Truth be told, Mel was never as big an Angry Birds fan as her now-fiancé. In fact, his devotion to it (whether at a fancy dinner or as they watched TV together) made her a bit ... well, angry, before all of this. (So did the fact that they'd dated for nine years without a proposal.)
But these days, she's a lot more understanding.
"It took Angry Birds to finally get him to propose," she said. "I love them. Nothing else would motivate him, but Angry Birds did it, so I'm forever grateful."

Mitigating climate change is now part of every aspect of the Maine school's curriculum, something the college says no other school in the nation has done.
UNITY, Maine (AP) _ Unity College says it has become the nation's first college or university to tie every aspect of its curriculum to the mitigation of global climate change.
The college has focused on climate change as an imperative since the arrival of President Stephen Mulkey in 2011.
It says it now integrates ``sustainability science'' into everything it teaches, so students learn how to mitigate climate change and think about environmental problem-solving no matter which classes they take.
Unity College is a private four-year environmental college in the central Maine town of Unity.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Kenny Boynton and Mike Rosario scored 15 points apiece and No. 4 Florida dominated another Southeastern Conference opponent, drubbing South Carolina 75-36 Wednesday night.
The Gators, who won their ninth game in a row, led 33-10 at halftime and made their first five shots after the break. They opened a 31-point lead that seemingly couldn't get any more lopsided.
Then it did.
Florida (17-2, 7-0 SEC) pulled ahead 55-15 on Scottie Wilbekin's floater in the lane with 12:32 remaining, sending the happy home crowd to the exits even earlier than usual this season.
The Gamecocks (12-8, 2-5), meanwhile, seemed dazed on the floor and the bench.
Michael Carrera led South Carolina with 13 points and nine rebounds. None of his teammates reached double figures.
The Gators have enjoyed seven blowouts in as many conference games. They won the first six by an average of 26.5 points. This one made those seem like nail-biters.

Latest Cool Bypass Devices from STMicroelectronics Unlock Extra Solar Energy and Cost Savings
Cool bypass devices minimize internal energy losses to route high-quality, high-efficiency solar power
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has introduced its latest-generation high-efficiency cool bypass switches family for photovoltaic modules, enabling an even higher percentage of harvested energy to reach end users and further reducing the cost per Watt of renewable energy. Boasting the industry's smallest dimensions, ST's bypass devices can be integrated directly in the photovoltaic module, reducing both installation complexity and cost for consumers.
ST's cool bypass devices combine efficient power switching and intelligent control in a single chip to compensate for the variable effects of hotspots and shadows on the solar panel surface. The new devices can save up to 1% of the energy produced and normally lost through conventional bypass diodes; in a 1MWp solar array farm this loss could provide the total annual electricity consumption of two average European households 1.
ST's latest cool bypass devices feature new technology and control techniques that minimize energy losses in all operating modes, by ensuring the integrated power switch has ultra-low leakage current when turned off and very low voltage drop when turned on. Thanks to the reduced power losses, a further advantage of these devices is a reduction in typical operating temperature, leading to increased reliability and longer lifetime. Solar installations can achieve a lifespan of 25 years using this device.
The SPV1512 and SPV1520 cool bypass switches are rated for operation up to 12 V and 20 V respectively. Other voltage options (up to 120 V) will be introduced in late 2012 and early 2013 in industry-standard D2PAK and TO-220AC packages.
The SPV1512 is available in an extremely small 5 x 6 x 0.75mm-high VFQFPN package, which enables the bypass circuitry to be laminated on the back of each solar panel. This simplifies design and installation by eliminating large numbers of junction boxes and interconnects, and can reduce the cost of each panel by around 5%.
Renewable Energy Efficiency and Climate Change
Electricity generation using solar panels (solar photovoltaic) is the fastest growing renewable energy technology of the past decade according to the International Energy Authority (IEA), which states that total installed capacity is now around 65 Gigawatts.
The IEA's 2012 Energy Technology Perspectives (ETP 2012, www.iea.org/etp) calls for ongoing investment in solar photovoltaic to reduce system costs and encourage growth in capacity. This investment is needed to help cut more than 50% of energy-related CO2 emissions by 2050, compared to 2009 levels, if global temperature rise is to be kept within 2 °C.
"As installed photovoltaic capacity continues to rise, efficient and cost-effective power solutions such as our cool bypass switches will make an increasingly significant contribution to saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions," said Matteo Lo Presti, General Manager of ST's Industrial and Power Conversion Division.
Major features of SPV15 family:
- 100mV forward voltage drop
- 10µA leakage current in reverse polarity
- Very high resilience to electrical overstress
- Low operating temperature for increased lifetime
- High efficiency
The 12V SPV1512 in DPAK or 5x6 PQFN packages, and 20V SPV1520 in D2PAK or 5x6 PQFN, are available now for minimum orders of 1000 units, priced at $2.00 each. Alternative pricing options for higher quantities are available on request.

Jhames replies:
When I give my boyfriend a handjob, my wrist always gets tired long before I can get him off. See, he likes it really fast, so I tire quickly and end up feeling like I failed. He's a really good sport about it, and "helps me out" while I rest my arm a little (usually he gets me to start again when he's close), but I'd still like to know if there's anything I can do to get better at it?
(Heather will most likely groan at the subject title--bear with me, I'm old and find humor in puns.)
Dearest Hatgirl,
Of all the sexual proclivities I enjoy, a handjob is not one of them. Like you, my wrist will give before the guy will come. I'm good for a few minutes, but after a while I say to myself "Oh COME ON already!" It's not the guy's fault that he takes a while to come, we simply don't have the endurance in our forearms that they may have developed. Are there solutions to our problem? You bet!
The first thing you should do is ask your boyfriend what he enjoys. You can start the conversation by saying "I like it when we're together sexually, and I really want to enjoy what I'm doing. What are some things you like that I do, and what are some other techniques that you'd like me to try?" Initiating a conversation will allow you both to talk openly and honestly which is super-important for a relationship. You may also learn that he might prefer a drop or two of lubrication when you're stroking him. Or that he doesn't like it when you move your hand from the head of his penis to the base of his shaft: he would instead prefer you to focus on the head using rapid motion. Maybe he'd like you to try using your other hand on his scrotum and gently massage him while stroking with your other hand. Once you two talk about what he likes, and what you're willing to do, you two can reach a level of comfort and patience that's enjoyable for you both.
You'll also want to add some strength in your forearms, and this can be accomplished with simple yoga postures or practicing with meditation balls in the palm of your hand. I really recommend the yoga, it will give you strength and endurance with the added benefit of giving him a better handjob.

Relocation of victims of last year's Dar es Salaam floods to Mabwepande has been suspended due to shortage of funds, Kinondoni District authorities revealed yesterday.
The statement comes as some of the flood victims who were rendered homeless for more than four months are still in temporary camps, in Ubungo Maziwa, Mgulani and Mbweni JKT, waiting to be resettled.
"The exercise of relocating flood victims to the surveyed plots at Mabwepande in Kinondoni district has stopped because the government is yet to provide funds for implementing the second phase," Kinondoni Municipal Council Director Fortunatus Fwema told The Guardian.
Fwema said the money disbursed by the government in the first phase, was utilised in surveying about 1,600 plots at the site, 624 of which were given to flood victims.
The other 400 plots were given to the residents from the edge of Msimbazi valley creek while the rest are to be sold.
Recently, in a brief statement at Mabwepande President Kikwete ordered the regional disaster committee to give plots to all the victims.
"We should not exclude tenants in the allocation process…these are our people. We have to be concerned with their plight," said Kikwete while receiving reports on the implementation of the relocation exercise from the regional disaster committee.
According to the President, flood victims, tenants included, were citizens of Tanzania who deserve to be treated fairly and equally, noting: "Tenants should not be left to suffer. We need to support them; we need to take care of them."
He said giving plots to landlords only would be unfair, as some of them had not been living in the flooded houses.
"We should not discriminate them…they have nowhere to go. I once again strongly insist that tenants must be given plots during this exercise," said Kikwete.
Kikwete directed regional authorities to prepare the modalities for the incorporation of tenants in the allocation of plots, observing that if the surveyed plots were not enough, they should look for areas outside Mabwepande.
Meanwhile Jayne Nyimbo the Twiga Cement Company Director of Human Resources told The Guardian that the government was yet to relocate Chasimba villagers to pave way for expansion of the plant is yet to be implemented.
The government promised to include Chasimba villagers in the relocation of the flood victims to Mabwepande.
"Up to this moment the villagers have not been relocated although we participated in the preparation to shift the villagers who have invaded the company's premises," she said.
On June 20 last year Twiga Cement management threatened to close down its Wazo Hill plant in Dar es Salaam unless 952 Chasimba villagers said to have invaded the firm's premises heed a court order and move out.
The company's lawyer Sam Mapande said the firm reached the decision after authorities failed to remove the villagers as ordered by the court and that they were just waiting for the directives from the company's headquarters in Germany on the date they should affect the move.
The Appeal Court ruled in 2008 that Twiga Cement Company was the lawful owner of the land and that the villagers were supposed to vacate the area to enable it carry out development activities.

|ゲンノウ Gennō
|Naruto Episode #197
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Gennō (ゲンノウ, Gennō), renowned as the Trap Master (トラップマスター, Torappu Masutā) was a ninja from Kagerō Village, a village that had frequently clashed with Konohagakure in the past.
When his village was wiped out, Gennō was the only survivor. Decades later, with his life failing, Gennō decided to resurface his last mission from his village. He began by infiltrating Konoha as a carpenter. After successfully placing himself within the village, he stole the blueprints of the fort structure around Konohagakure to refine his leftover traps from his last infiltration. After the village was left preoccupied with threats of an impending invasion by a neighbouring country, it was left to the Konoha 11 to stop Gennō.
Despite his elderly age, Gennō was still a famous and powerful ninja. His greatest trait was his intelligence, great enough to outsmart an entire squadron of ANBU. Like Shikamaru, Gennō was adept at perceiving everything around him and formulating well-thought-out plans several steps ahead of his opponent that could also involve misdirections, as well as quickly altering his plans should the situation change. His intellect best served him in his actions as a trap expert, which earned him the nickname Trap Master (トラップマスター, Torappu Masutā).
Since Gennō's style for traps revolved around infiltration of an enemy's territory and stealthily laying exploding tags, he proved himself to be a very capable actor. According to Shikamaru, Gennō's talent for infiltration, whether hiding in the shadows or blending into the environment and disguising his true objective, deserved legendary status.
Gennō was shown to be very crafty, as well as skilled in battle, utilising several expert level combinations of taijutsu, ninjutsu and genjutsu. He would regularly use his trap expertise to make his opponents more hesitant to approach him by rigging himself with smoke bombs under his clothing, which, if set off, would allow him to counterattack with taijutsu while the enemy was blinded. In this skill, he was able to keep up with Rock Lee, and presumably lost only because of his failing health. He was also able to summon a giant bird who could emit a shrill cry to signal something, and attack or set off a trap by using an exploding tag located on its left leg. Gennō could also use it as a mean of transport.
Part I
Trap Master Arc
Although Gennō was at first only interested in destroying the village, he came to appreciate Naruto Uzumaki and the young generation's determination as they managed to find and safely remove his bomb. He then decided to use his trap-making skills to give them an interesting hunt. He amazed the young ninja by how skilfully he faked his death and how he successfully planted explosive tags all throughout the village in a chain-effect. After Sakura Haruno, Hinata Hyūga and Ino Yamanaka discovered that Gennō was still alive, Gennō decided to move into the final phase of his mission. Gennō then had his bird drop all of the blueprints all over the village. Whilst everyone tried to make sense of them all, Gennō planted more explosive tags in and on the face of the Hokage Mountain.
Eventually, Naruto encountered Gennō at the Hokage Mountain where he then revealed everything, including his plans to blow up the plateau to bury Konohagakure. With his plans finally revealed, he took on the Konoha Genin. He managed to dodge Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru's combination attack, and used a trick to escape Shino Aburame's insect attack. After using a genjutsu, Gennō summoned a giant bird. When Ino entered his mind, she felt pain so extreme that she left it immediately.
Rock Lee then moved in to subdue Gennō, but he managed to match Lee's taijutsu. Gennō then finally revealed the final part of his plan, as he had placed explosive tags in the Third Hokage's face as a trigger for the explosion. After Naruto and Chōji Akimichi defeated the bird, Gennō could no longer push his ailing body any further, and he passed away from old injuries that had never healed. Before he had passed he said he didn't get revenge, but he had fun. When Shikamaru explained to the Hokage what had happened, he said that Gennō had intended to blow up the village when he first arrived. However, after Gennō had met Naruto, he had deactivated all of the bombs, and decided to not blow up the village. Instead, he turned his plan into a treasure hunt, like he had done with his own son, since Naruto had reminded him of his son.

- Title
- A T-cell mediated clonal selection algorithm
- Author(s)
- Brownlee, Jason
- Abstract
- The two-signal theory of lymphocyte activation was proposed more than thirty-five years ago and since that time has been elaborated and experimentally demonstrated to be a mediation process for the activation of both B and T lymphocytes. Modern names for the theory include associative recognition theory, the ARA model, and co-stimulation for Tcells. This work proposes the integration of T-cell mediation of activated B-lymphocytes into the elaborated clonal selection algorithm (ECSA). The resultant system provides a decoupled condition-action cognitive system that appears to have much similarity with classifier systems and may be an example of the reinforcement-learning paradigm.

Dive Pink & Fight Breast Cancer. Includes a $5 Donation
Split fins have become the most popular style fin in diving today. Just look around when you are out beach diving or on the charter boat and you will soon discover that more divers are making the switch to this style fin. Why are they so popular? They are popular because they work, and you, work less! A split fin performs more like the combination of a whale's tail and a propeller. When you kick the two separate blades twist and create more of a propeller surface which will increase your propulsion and lift. You feel as if the fin is not strong enough to keep you moving as fast as you are accustomed with your full bladed fin, yet you cover the same distance in the same time.
Less Drag, More Thrust and most important Less Strength is Used. The Split Fin Design is not only unique; it uses the Latest Technology in Composite Plastic Polymer Materials to give a Light Fin (Great Travel Fin) and one that Increases Thrust and Reduces Fatigue. Fin is equipped with EZ-LOK Squeeze-Style" Quick-Release Buckles which Snap-On-and-Off with Ease, yet Will-Not Disengage- Accidentally. The Rubber Fin Straps are equipped with a Large Pull-Tab for Easy Donning and Doffing. Extensive R&D and Testing yielded the perfect formula of Flexibility and Rigidity for Efficient Propulsion. Atomic Multi-Composite Plastics result in a Powerful Kick that requires Less Effort, Stress and Strain meaning Less Air Consumption. The Power Rails are Highly-Resilient and Perform as the Backbone of the Split Fin, Storing and Releasing Energy with Every Kick. The Semi-Ridged Flex Battens set in the Soft Elastomeric Blade, Control the Precise Wing Shape to Optimize Thrust and Reduce Drag. The Large Surface Area Blade Improves Pivoting, Turning and Alternate Kick Styles.
Thin, yet Strong and Highly Flexible Hinge Points between the Semi-Ridged Battens cause the Blade to React Quick-and-Efficiently to the Slightest Kick. The Anatomically Contoured Foot Pocket designed to Fit-your-Foot without Stress Points, with Semi-Open Toe for added Comfort. The Internal Sole Plate creates Ridged Platform Beneath-the-Foot for Greater Power Transfer to the Blade yet provides a Soft, Comfortable Open Heel Foot Pocket. Fins are available in sizes Small, Medium, Large or X-Large, come in Blue, Yellow, Silver, Royal Blue, Reef Red, Pink or Purple colors and are covered by a 12 month limited warranty.

Shá Cage has emerged as one of the Twin Cities' most powerful proponents for strengthening the image and celebrating the hearts and souls of Black women. The accomplished actor, performance artist and spoken-wordsmith began this initiative in the late '90s, co-founding the still regrettably unsung MaMA mOsAiC, Minnesota's first ensemble of color projecting women's consciousness. Cage reflects, in an MSR interview of few years back, "Signe Harriday, Jeany Park and I founded [it], which was the beginning of my professional career as one who creates theatre for, by and about women and aimed at employing women behind the scenes."
These days, lauded by no less a personage than Cornel West as "inspiring and evocative," there is nothing unsung about anything she does from projecting consciousness to heading up the internationally renowned Minnesota Spoken Word Association with husband e.g. bailey, a venerated artist in his own right; to acting at prestigious venues like Mixed Blood Theatre, Intermedia Arts and, currently, Park Square, where she continues her commitment in the cast of Tazewell Thompson's Mary T. & Lizzy K.
Mary T. & Lizzy K. looks at the friendship between Abraham Lincoln's wife and her seamstress, Elizabeth Hobbs Keckly, a freed slave who, it turns out, did a great deal more in life than put pretty clothes on Mary Todd Lincoln. Shá Cage plays Elizabeth Keckly. Asked what she finds most rewarding about portraying Keckly, she says, "I appreciate that this plays makes room for [her] story to be told. Continue Reading →

Were these instructions helpful?
removed old rail,lifted glass panel above and inserted new rail-voila!!done.
I removed the glass top and then rail and frame.I had to remove the gaskets from the old frame and put them on the new one.The steel support and the slide mechanisms were difficult to remove. I needed a screwdriver to do this.Some directions would have helped here.It was easier to snap them back into the new frame.I set the frame and then rail back into the refrigerator,replaced the glass.
Removed the drawers and shelf unit above the shelves. Installed the new rail and put the shelf unit and drawers back in. Less than 5 minute repair. Very fast delivery of part and reasonable pricing.
I removed the crisper drawers, glass shelf, and frame assembly to install the ladder hook. Before reinstalling the glass shelf on top of the crisper frame, I installed the center crisper rail.Thank goodness for websites like this!
Took drawers out, inserted the rail and put the drawers back in and voila. Fixed.
I was easily able to find the part using the online search. I order the part and it arrived in about two days. Installing the part meant pulling out the two crisper drawers, emptying the shelf above the crispers, removing two glass shelf plates, inserting the new part, replacing the glass plates, replacing the food on the shelf and sliding in the two crisper drawers. All in all, about 3 minutes.
I first removed the bottom shelf. Then I popped the rail in. It was pretty easy although I did have to use some force to fit it in. Ordering the part and doing it myself was a lot cheaper than calling the repair man.
Repair was a piece of cake. My only wish would have been a little more informed on a few other parts I could have replaced as well. It obviously would have increased my cost, but would have simplified the install process, and still would have been cheaper then calling a service guide. I would recommend buying and installing the new gaskets when doing this. And possibly the steel support bar that goes threw the plastic shelf. Removing that bar was the most difficult task, difficult only that if you used to much force, SNAP!! and then your pissed! and have to start all over.
Very easily removed top shel glass above crisper--removed old rail by lifting up--and place new one in slots provided---simple!! Part was delivered in less than 3 days-------very fast and cheap !!!
I removed the crisper pans, installed the new rail and then installed the new bins. Very easily done--I was finished in 10 minutes
Installed the Dairy Door on the new Dairy Tray. Removed the old tray, replaced the new tray on the refrigerator door. The vegetable and fruit drawers were removed and the glass shelf was removed. The new plastic rail was placed in the slot and the shelf replaced. The drawers were replaced. The hardest part of this job was to select and purchase the correct parts. Your website mad that task easy.
It took longer to empty the glass shelf above the Crisper Bins than to replace the rail. Since the part simply snaps in place, no tools were required
removed drsws and shelf put new center rail replaced draws done
Very simple repair. However, if PartSelect doesn't find your model number, you MUST call them to make sure you get the correct part. I just found a similar part but it didn't fit. Because I had not called, I had to pay to return the item myself but they refunded my original shipping charges and sent me the correct part.

Police are still not releasing the cause of death of Margarita Fisenko Scott, 29, whose body was found Thursday in a car in a motel parking lot.
Portland Police briefed the media this afternoon on the investigation into the homicide of twenty-nine-year-old Margarita Fisenko Scott of Westbrook, who was found dead inside a vehicle in a motel parking lot last Thursday.
Lt. Scott Pelletier identified the vehicle as a 2002 Red Chevrolet Trailbrazer, which the detective says is a vehicle the victim would have normally used. "She was discovered by her husband and a friend of his. They immediately contacted police," Pelletier said.
Pelletier says the Scotts were not living together but had regular contact and there was no history of domestic violence. He says at this point in the investigation, no one has been ruled out as a suspect.
The cause of Scott's death was not released.
This story was reported by Samantha Fields and written by Ed Morin.

Interior design and branding are a beautiful combination that tell visual stories and create a mood. This Finnish, modern restaurant design, Sis Deli + Cafe does so with bold black and white interior design and packaging. Although this isn't a new restaurant, this sibling design team Muotohiomo, did such an amazing job that it stills seems as fresh today as it did when it opened in 2009.
These black gingham bags make a statement all on their own, but when mixed with the white subway tiles and the black and white menu board you've got a perfected balance!
The simplicity of the black counter grounds element into the space. Modern black barstools stand proudly in any interior. The design concept is a very simple look with special attention paid to every detail. Possibly, a modern black pendant light over the counter would have been a great accent and possibly the only thing missing. But then again, we love lighting!
What do you think? Light or No LIght?
Pinnacle Large Black Tech Lighting Mini Pendant Light
Even these black and white gingham cups are perfect. So perfect you wouldn't want to throw them away...
From the tile, to the packaging, to the tray, to the silverware you've got yourself a beautifully designed and branded restaurant that is sure to create a lasting impression. It's thoughtful, simple, and lasting.
And I think this says it just right, "The visual image is a kind of tripwire for the emotions." - Diane Ackerman

So, we featured an image of this awesome art installation as one of our Facebook posts last week and we just couldn't let it go so we decided to blog about it too! A colorful and whimsical umbrella art installation floats above this promenade in Águeda, Portugal. It casts a shadow of geometric shapes on the ground below and fills the streets with a fairy tale like energy. This colorful public art installation is not only functional, but also brings uplifting energy into a quiet community during the lazy days of summer!
The sun shines through the umbrellas and they just light up in the sky! Bringing this type of vibrant energy into your own home is as simple as adding colorful modern ceiling lighting.

The juxtaposition of the bright colors and the natural elements of the historic buildings form such an interesting composition. The reflection of the colors in the glass windows creates a stained glass like effect.
Colorful glass pendant lighting looks beautiful when installed with this type of juxtaposition. The combination of the colorful sleek glass, mixed with historic brick walls, creates depth in design and adds visual interest to a space.

We had a chat with the innovative designers at Koncept and we want to share it with you! We discussed modern design, the importance of form + function, as well as future ideas for Koncept. It all started a couple months ago when we attended the Dwell on Design event. At the event, we ran into Kenneth Ng (President) and Edmund Ng (Vice President) from Koncept and we promised each other we would schedule a longer chat at a later date. Well, we did....
ESL: Are you led by aesthetics or function when you design?
Koncept: Both are equally important. Ultimately it depends on project. For the Zbar / Equo both were equally important. Sometimes, it can even change throughout the process of designing any given project. The Equo was a little more aesthetic when it first came out and was not as functional as it has become over time.
Tono Floor Lamp
ESL: Where do you go for inspiration?
K: We maintain a very free creative process, finding inspiration everywhere including magazines, architecture, open houses. New materials inspire as well. LEDs inspired us to jump in and design Zbar. If we find a good material, we are able to create an exciting design around it.
ESL: Since you mentioned architecture, do you have any favorite architects?
K: Frank Gehry, especially his residential building in Hong Kong. He inspires us to do something special that no one else is doing.
Equo Task Lamp
ESL: How do you select materials?
K: Mostly market availability, need, and pure inspiration become the factors in our material selection process. For example, organic LED is a new material we are starting to work with. It's made with organic materials and consists of a thin sheet of material that glows strongly. They aren't cost effective yet so that's where need comes in. So far, it only last 10k hours vs. 50k of regular LEDs. It's jut not efficient enough yet.
Z Bar Task Lamp
ESL: Why LED? What is all the hype? And what are the negatives, if any?
K: LEDs lasts a long time and they are better for our environment. If we switch to LEDs for general lighting, we'll have less impact on the environment in the long run. Even though the technology is more expensive, consumers need to see that they last 1000s of hrs longer. Consumers will come out on top by lowering their electricity bill and helping the environment at the same time.
The good news is, the cost is coming down. There have been so many advancements lately. We predict the demand for old bulbs will fade out and the cost will continue coming down.
Mosso Task Lamp
ESL: What's in the future for Koncept?
K: Well, most of our current products are for small areas, like desk tops. We want to expand into other categories and do more residential lighting fixtures, possibly large scale modern chandeliers and pendants. We also want to do ambient lighting as well, impacting an entire space with light rather than just a desk top.
Of course we also want to continue monitoring the development of organic LEDs.
Thanks Koncept!
I think we can all agree that there is excitement for what Koncept does next and there's no doubt we will bring it to you as it happens!

Believe the hype: LED lighting can help you save money. When looked at holistically, factoring in the cost of electricity over the lifetime of the bulb, a house full of LED lights could actually save you hundreds of dollars.
Let's do the math.
LED Is for the Long Term
According to GreenBiz.com: "A conventional 60-watt bulb lasts about 1,000 hours, uses 60 watts of electricity and costs $180 to run for 25,000 hours. The LED equivalent lasts 25,000 hours (nearly three years if you left it on 24/7), uses 12.5 watts and costs $37.50 to run for 25,000 hours." I've outlined the math below.
The calculations above are based on the Philips Ambient 12 Watt LED Medium Base Light Bulb, a light bulb that fits into any medium base fixture, intended to replace incandescent bulb usage. However, there are also tons of designs available with the LEDs built right into the design.
Save money by using LED lights in every room of the house:
The Entryway>
The Dining Room>
The Bathroom>
The Office or Work Space>
Discover a Warmer, Gentler LED
You most likely have heard an incandescent bulb described as a "warm" light. This look or feel of the light is its color temperature. Lower color temperatures (in the range of 2700K to 3000K) appear yellow/white and, despite their lower color temperatures, are referred to as "warm" in color; higher color temperatures (5000K and higher) appear blue/white and, despite their higher color temperatures, are referred to as "cool."
LED lighting has typically been associated with these harsher looking higher color temperatures. But that is changing. Increasingly, LEDs are reaching down into the warm 3000K range, resulting in color akin to incandescent bulbs and much more natural light than most fluorescent lights.
The environmental impact of LED lighting is difficult to compare directly against other options, but the circumstantial data is encouraging.
Natural looking. Cost effective. Environmentally friendly. LEDs are a slam dunk, right? Assuming you find a style you like, the answer is probably yes. In an interview blogger Cori Magee conducted last year with Edmund Ng and Kenneth Ng of Koncept Lighting, they discussed the role of aesthetics in designing for LEDs. "Both form and function are equally important," explained the Ng brothers. "New materials enable new designs. If we find a good material, we are able to create an exciting design around it."
It's this type of commitment to design, technology and, ultimately, cost that leads us to believe the future looks bright for LEDs.
