AUGUSTA, Ga. -- An issue with health insurance for Augusta-Richmond County employees has a lot of people wondering if they have any coverage at all.
News 12 became aware of this after workers from various departments began contacting us. One employee said when he checked his new group number, Blue Cross Blue Shield said it was invalid.
News 12 spoke with City administrator Fred Russell, and he said Human Resources is aware of the issue and has been working to fix all of this. He went on to say HR has sent out notices, and employees need to check with human resources tomorrow.
This isn't the first time the city has seen insurance problems. Recently, there were questions of a possible conflict of interest when a consultant for the city's contract with BCBS admitted to dating someone in the company.
Last year, the insurance provider issued an apology after accidentally kicking some retirees and employees off coverage.

Forty-eight years ago today, the two sister countries of Tanganyika and Zanzibar joined together to form what is now known as the United Republic of Tanzania. It was a joyous occasion celebrated at home and abroad.
A period nearly half a century is a long time for a country's development process. Many socio-economic and political changes have taken place during the Union's existence since April 26, 1964.
First, it is sad to note the two architects of the Union, Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere and Mzee Abeid Amani Karume, are not with us today – they are dead.
Second, the Tanzania of 1964 has undergone tremendous changes from single party to multi-party democracy to cope with the global socio-economic and political arrangement.
Tanzanians have prided themselves in having the only Union of the two independent states which has been described by many to be unique in Africa since no other states have followed their example.
Tanzanians have not been discouraged by the lack of interest on the part of other African states in forging larger political Units in Africa.
The Union came on April 26, 1964, when the late Julius. K. Nyerere, the President of Republic of Tanganyika and the late Abeid Karume, the President of Peoples Republic of Zanzibar had approved by signing the Articles of the Union less than four months since January 12, 1964 Zanzibar Revolution, which toppled the sultanate regime in Zanzibar.
However, from that time onwards cracks have appeared as some people claim that there are number of weaknesses that have surfaced since the beginning. One of the major claims is the increasing number of Union Matters that have doubled since the signing of the Articles of the Union in April, 1964.
Under the 1964's Articles of Union, matters consented were only eleven (11) but now they are more than twenty-three.
At least four important factors contributed to the formation of the Tanganyika and Zanzibar Union:
It is believed that there were extensive historical ties between Tanganyika and Zanzibar in a wide range of respects including blood ties, trade, culture, common
language and close political co-operation particularly between the pioneer political parties – Afro Shiraz Party (ASP) for Zanzibar and Tanganyika African National Union (TANU) for Tanzania Mainland.
According to documented history, the second factor was the spirit of Pan – Africanism and particularly starting with East African Federation. Even before Independence, the late Nyerere and other nationalist
leaders in their regions had an ambition of AfricaN unity. Nyerere himself, unlike Kwame Nkrumah, preferred a gradual approach toward the African unity starting with regional federations.
Many efforts had been made to establish the East African Federation but the latest discussions between the three heads of East African states proved unfeasible for the establishment of this political federation.
For 48, Tanzanians have experienced many advantages of the existence of the Union. Some of the important merits are Tanzania being a proverbial island of peace in the turbulent the Great Lakes, the Union has contributed immensely to the stability of Zanzibar where political rivalry was hitherto intense, Union has enabled Tanzanian to cement the social and cultural relations, which existed for many years even before, and interaction between the people of
Tanganyika and the people of Zanzibar has increased as a result of inter-marriages and exchange of regular visits between the two peoples.
Some proponents of the Union have argued that the economy of Zanzibar cannot stand on its own as it heavily relies on the clove industry which is prone to the falling world prices of the crop.
As far as the economy is concerned, trade activities have increased between the two Union partners benefiting their people. People from the Mainland have been traveling to Zanzibar to buy goods also the same happening for Zanzibaris going to the Mainland for business activities.
Historians say perhaps the most conspicuous achievement of the Union is that it has existed longer than any other Union of its type in Africa.
They say despite of many shortcomings the Tanzanian Union is a shining example of the integration of peoples from two different sovereign nations.
The historians say the biggest merit of the Union, especially for Zanzibaris, is that it has guaranteed them security and diminished the vulnerability to external threats.
Some Zanzibar researchers say the Union between Tanganyika and Zanzibar has had a bumpy history during period of existence under every President of
the isles. They say it has led to the forced resignation of one president; dismissal of two Chief and the withdrawal of Zanzibar from the Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) in the 1990s.
The researchers recommend that since the Union is a mutual agreement there is also the need to revisit the Articles of the Union and the Tanzania constitution to iron out political differences.
"In general we should revisit the Articles of the Union and to amend those doubtful additional matters. if our Union was really agreed by free consent and mutual agreement," says a Zanzibar politician interviewed by researchers.
The major impediment to the Union, the researchers say, has been the political taboo to discuss issues related to it as doing that is considered treasonable.
Former Chief Justice Augustino Ramadhani puts this issue in the perspective:
"We are confronted by two issues; one is the Constitution and the other the Union.Why cannot we sit down and discuss these things? Claims that certain views will be expressed which are not compatible with the party policy are outdated. We are now under the multiparty system.
There are basic factors which have to be agreed upon by all stakeholders to ensure that they will be maintained by whoever is in power."

Team Minato was a team that was headed by the future Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara were the members of the team.
In the Kakashi Gaiden, which was set during the Third Shinobi World War, the team went to Kusagakure to destroy Kannabi Bridge to cut off supplies for Iwagakure ninja. Rin was captured by Iwagakure ninja during the mission. Kakashi and Obito rescued her but Obito was crushed by a cave-in caused by the Iwagakure ninja Kakkō. Obito gifted Kakashi his remaining Sharingan and tells them to flee, before the second cave-in seemingly killed him. However, in reality, Obito was saved by Madara Uchiha and was recuperating for an unknown period of time.
After Rin's forced sacrifice to save their village from the Three-Tails that was sealed inside her, despite his earlier intent to rejoin her and Kakashi, Obito decides to have everyone continue to believe he died as he became a disillusioned shell of his former self. Some time later, Minato would sacrifice his own life to seal away the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, who was released on Konoha by the masked man who was Obito in disguise. Prior to the climax of the Fourth Shinobi World War where he finds out that Obito still lives, Kakashi believed he was the sole survivor of Team Minato.
- The team makes a cameo before their actual introduction in chapter 122 and Naruto episode 72 during a flashback of the Third Hokage, and on the cover of chapter 16.
- Kakashi noted many times that the current team he looks after shares similar dynamics to his childhood group. The resemblance is furthered with a photograph of Team Minato being nearly identical to the photograph of Team 7.
- Three members of Team Minato became jinchūriki in their lifetime; Rin with Isobu, Obito with the Ten-Tails, and Minato became a pseudo-jinchūriki with Kurama's Yin chakra.

Kool Stop Road Brake Pads
Kool Stop replacement pads for Dura Ace, Ultegra, and 105 road brakes. For the ultimate stopping power Kool Stop is the way to go. When you're flying down a hill at 40+ mph you shouldn't have to worry about your brakes. With Kool Stop Road Brake Pads you can be confident you will always come to a Kool Stop.
These are my favorite dry weather brake pads (for wet weather I switch to the Kool Stop salmon pads). They collect far fewer bits of aluminum than other pads I've used, and they stop well.
Good stopping power--they are a little grabbier than most stock pads I've used. They wear faster than stock, but the performance is slightly better, so a bit of a trade-off. For the price, you can't go wrong.
They work great and have lasted longer than expected.
These Kool Stop pads seem quite a bit softer than the Shimano inserts that I normally use. I don't know how well they are going to last but I am happy with the stopping power and even modulation they offer. I like the price (1/2 the price) too.

Sleep Problems: Dealing With Jet Lag
You love your ranch in Montana but were long overdue for a vacation—this time to London. On travel day, the flight was smooth.
You imagined seeing the sights, visiting museums, and maybe even touring Buckingham Palace.
But your vacation hasn't started out so well. You can't sleep, you're tired, and your stomach is giving you problems.
You have jet lag.
- Jet lag happens when you fly across one or more time zones. Most people need to cross three time zones to notice jet lag. The more time zones you cross, the worse jet lag may be.
- Jet lag can happen to anyone. Your age, fitness, health, and how often you fly don't make a difference in whether you get it.
- Jet lag usually is worse when a person flies east rather than west. In other words, it will be worse when a person goes from the United States to Europe than from Europe to the U.S.
- Jet lag makes you feel bad, but it isn't serious. Most people get better 3 to 4 days after their flight.
- The supplement melatonin may help relieve the symptoms of jet lag. Sleeping pills may help too. But both of these also have downsides.
Jet lag may make it hard for you to fall asleep, stay asleep, or stay awake during the day. Lack of sleep can make you feel tired or tense and make it hard for you to focus. You may feel weak, or you may lose your appetite. You may not be able to have a bowel movement (constipation), or you may have diarrhea.
The symptoms of jet lag take a few days to go away:1
- When you fly east, the number of days it takes to recover from jet lag will be about two-thirds the number of time zones you cross. For example, if you cross six time zones, it will take you about 4 days to get back to normal.
- When you fly west, the number of days to recover equals about half the number of time zones. So if you cross six time zones, it will take you 3 days to recover.
Jet lag can happen to anyone. Your age, fitness, health, and how often you fly don't make a difference in whether you get it.
Test Your Knowledge
Symptoms of jet lag include:
Having a hard time with falling asleep, staying
asleep, or staying awake.
All of these answers are correct.
Having sleep problems; feeling tired, tense, and unfocused; and not having an appetite are all symptoms of jet lag.
Feeling tired and tense and not being able to focus.
All of these answers are correct.
Having sleep problems; feeling tired, tense, and unfocused; and not having an appetite are all symptoms of jet lag.
Not feeling like eating.
All of these answers are correct.
Having sleep problems; feeling tired, tense, and unfocused; and not having an appetite are all symptoms of jet lag.
You may get jet lag when you fly across one or more time zones. This happens when you fly east to west or west to east. When you fly north to south or south to north, you don't cross time zones, so you don't get jet lag.
Crossing time zones disrupts your body's "biological clock," or 24-hour rhythms (circadian rhythms). You have symptoms because your biological clock has not adjusted to the new time zone. Your body thinks that you're still in your old time zone.
For example, if you fly from Chicago to Rome, you cross seven time zones. This means that Rome is 7 hours ahead of Chicago. When you land in Rome at 6:00 in the morning, your body thinks it's still in Chicago at 11:00 the previous night. Your body wants to sleep, but in Rome the day is just starting.
Other things besides your wake/sleep cycle are affected. You may not be hungry at dinnertime in Rome, but you may be very hungry in the middle of the day. Your bowel movements may be on a different schedule than normal.
As your body adjusts to the time change, the symptoms go away.
Test Your Knowledge
You can get jet lag when you:
Take a long road trip.
This answer is incorrect.
When you take a long road trip, you may cross time zones. But the time it takes to cross them allows your body to adjust. You get jet lag when you cross time zones quickly, as you do in an airplane. All the answers are correct.
Fly across one or more time zones.
This answer is correct.
You can get jet lag when you fly across time zones. This happens when you fly east or west. All the answers are correct.
Fly north or south.
This answer is incorrect.
You can get jet lag when you fly east or west across time zones. When you fly north or south, you don't cross time zones. All the answers are correct.
You can't cure jet lag, but you may be able to reduce the symptoms using the hormone supplement melatonin and sleeping pills. Other treatments besides medicines have not been studied or have been studied very little, but they may be worth trying.
Melatonin and sleeping pills
Melatonin is a hormone that your body makes. It regulates the cycle of sleeping and waking. Normally, melatonin levels begin to rise in the mid- to late evening, remain high for most of the night, and then go down early in the morning.
Taking melatonin may help "reset" your biological clock. Studies show that it has reduced the symptoms of jet lag for people flying both east and west.2
Suggestions about times and dosages vary among researchers who have studied melatonin. Doctors recommend that you:
- Take melatonin after dark on the day you travel and after dark for a few days after you arrive at your destination.
- Take melatonin in the evening for a few days before you fly if you will be flying east.
The safety and effectiveness of melatonin have not been thoroughly tested. Taking large doses of it may cause sleep disruption and daytime fatigue. If you have epilepsy or are taking blood thinners such as coumadin (Warfarin), talk to your doctor before you use melatonin.
The sleeping pills eszopiclone (Lunesta) and zolpidem (Ambien) have been studied for jet lag. They may help you sleep despite jet lag if you take them before bedtime after you arrive at your destination. You may have side effects of headaches, dizziness, confusion, and feeling sick to your stomach.
Other things to do
None of the things in the following lists have been proved to reduce jet lag, but some people find them helpful.
Before you go, and on the plane
- Be well rested before you start to travel.
- If you are flying east, go to bed 1 hour earlier each night for a few days before your trip. If you're flying west, go to bed 1 hour later each night instead. But if your trip will last 2 days or less, stay on your home time.
- Set your watch to your new time zone as you start flying. If it's nighttime at your destination, try to sleep on the plane. Sleep masks, earplugs, and headphones may help. If it's daytime at your destination, try to stay awake.
- On the plane, drink water to avoid dehydration. Avoid alcohol and drinks that contain caffeine.
When you arrive
- Try to change your schedule to the new time as soon as you can. For example, if you arrive at 4 p.m., do your best to stay awake until your usual bedtime. Get up in the morning instead of sleeping late.
- Think about light exposure. If you flew east, try to avoid bright light in the morning, and get light in the afternoon. To avoid light in the morning, stay indoors, such as by going to a museum. If you flew west, stay awake during daylight, and try to sleep after dark. This may help adjust your body clock and help your body make melatonin at the right time.
- Caffeine may help you stay alert during the day after you arrive. But it also may make it harder to sleep at night.
If you have an important meeting or athletic event, try to arrive a few days early so your body can adjust to the new time zone.
Test Your Knowledge
To cure jet lag, you can use melatonin before or after you travel.
Now that you have read this information, you may be able to reduce symptoms of jet lag. Talk to your doctor about other things you might be able to do.

I called into your call center today and had the pleasure of speaking with Teresa. My order had been delayed by the manufacturer. I received a prompt e-mail from your company notifying me of the delay and giving me options. I initially just said okay, I will wait for the boots. Then I thought about calling in to see what my options could be. That is when I reached Teresa. She was very friendly on the phone and quick to assist. She helped me identify what boots would work for me and gave me options to get the boots faster than I thought. She even saved me a little money on comparable boots. This was my fist purchase with your company although I will have to say I am going to start promoting your company to my family and friends. It is hard to find a company which will beat everyone's prices and still be concerned about customer service. You have a great combination there and I wanted to make sure you knew it was appreciated."

Product Technologies / Benefits:
- UltraGlide Valve: Kohler has created the next generation of faucet valve technology with the Ultra-Glide ceramic valve. With high quality engineered ceramic materials, this valve is built to be exceedingly durable and ultra smooth. The Ultra-Glide is rated for up to 4,000,000 on/off cycles, beating the industry standard by eight times and guaranteeing a lifetime of leak-free performance. Unlike standard valves, the Ultra-Glide confines the water below the valve stem, keeping the majority of components dry at all times; this reduces the chance of corrosion and deterioration that affects most valves. Additionally, this valve increases the turning radius of the faucet handles, allowing for greater and more pin-point control over the water flow's volume and temperature. The Ultra-Glide valve represents the pinnacle in versatility - it will last a lifetime and bring any home into the new age of faucet technologies.
- WaterSense Certified Product: To help make a difference on a global scale and to further its role as an industry leader in eco-performance practices, Kohler has established partnerships with a number of environmental organizations, including WaterSense. Many Kohler faucets and toilets are equipped with low-flow technology - they use less water, while continuing to meet superior performance standards.

Naerys Targaryen
this wiki
Naerys Targaryen, is an unseen character in Game of Thrones. She is not expected to appear in the series, being long dead by the time it begins.
Naerys Targaryen was the sister-wife of Aegon IV Targaryen, the eleventh king of the Targaryen dynasty to sit on the Iron Throne. She was an ancestor of Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen.
Queen Naerys was the mother of Daeron II Targaryen and Daenerys Targaryen by her brother-husband, King Aegon IV Targaryen, who had an affair with their cousin, Daena Targaryen.
Season 1
Naerys and her children are mentioned in the House Targaryen's entry of the book The Lineages and Histories of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms[1]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Naerys was the sister of Aegon IV, who was also her husband, and the legendary Prince Aemon, called the Dragonknight. Naerys had the classic Targaryen looks, a very fine and delicate beauty. She was very slender and small, with big purple eyes and fine, pale, porcelain skin, near translucent.
According to semi-canon sources, she almost died in the cradle and was sickly for most of her life. She was a devout follower of the Faith of the Seven, and once Daeron was born she asked Aegon to release her from her vows so she could join the Faith but he refused her. She was unhappy in her marriage and it was said only her son Daeron or her brother Aemon could make her smile. Her brother, Prince Aemon championed her against the slanders of Ser Morgil and was rumored to, not only have loved her, but also to be the true father of Daeron II. Much later in her life she gave birth to a daughter, Daenerys.

I couldn't find a description of what was included so I figured it was everything, super deal, but it apparently is the tank and shroud only. This is a little misleading, but, the graphics are cool and look great. I'll have to order the rest of the kit latter.

Comments On Apr 23, 2012:I really like the design of this One Industries kit, and it will look perfect if you buy new plastics to put it on. KTM's graphics on there new bikes are molded into the plastic so you are not able to peel them off. I was hoping this kit would cover the original graphics, but the white portion of this kit is semi transparent and shows the old graphics through the white. If I didn't already open the kit and stick a portion of them on the bike I would have returned them for a refund. If the white was solid not see through, or I had new plastic to put these on I would rate them at 5 stars. I have used One Industries graphics on 3 of my other bikes and they hold up very well, and always looked good.

Alright, lets see. The rivers seems to be wrong. Rivers are basically rainwater and water from glaciers. They start from a high (mountains, highland) from several small connected flows, and usually finds the most easy way towards the ocean. It's very rare that a river split up into two rivers. It's more common that two rivers merge into one river.
I would have remade the rivers completely. Think that they should start from the mountains, and find their way between hills and canyons towards the ocean. Also, if the above is a world map, then the current rivers are veeeeeery wide/large.
I'm not an expert, but regarding the mountains, they are (often) created when two landmasses (continents) collide.
If you look at the left continent, at the lowest half-island just above the southern continent, then the mountains are placed like they are crossing the land. This is not impossible, but I think it would be more likely if they I would go with mountains that follow the shape of the land. Think like this. The land actually starts from the very bottom from the ocean and emerges up, up up until it's over the waterline. Then it continues upward to hills and finally mountains.
Hope it helps a bit

MANTORVILLE, Minn. - New information about the suicide of a 13-year-old Rachel Ehmkewas released Wednesday morning.
The Dodge County Sheriff's Office says a derogatory text message originated from Rachel Ehmke's father's residence in Mantorville.
The Dodge County Attorney's Office has determined that no charges will be filed because of insufficient evidence.
Below is the newsrelease by the Dodge County sheriff's office:
"On April 26th a text message was forwarded to several students' cell phones that referred to Rachel Ehmke as a Slut and suggested sending it around to get Rachel out of the school.
On the morning of Friday April 27th, four female students reported this text message to Principal Al Hodge at the Kasson Mantorville Middle School.
At 0820am on Friday morning Principal Hodge advised School Resource Officer Jason Peck of the message that was reportedly being forwarded.
At 1210pm on Friday, Officer Peck talked to Rachel about the message. Rachel indicated to him that the message was going around and it didn't bother her. She further indicated to Officer Peck that she was sure the four students that reported it had nothing to do with it because she was now getting along with them. Officer Peck told her he would investigate the text message further. Officer Peck noted at this time that Rachel indicated she had also received this text message which she had deleted prior to talking with him. He later discovered that the number Rachel told him the text came from did not match the number the other students had received it from.
On Saturday April 28th at approximately 0804PM, the Sheriff's Office received a 911 call from the Mary Ehmke residence in rural Mantorville reporting an attempted suicide. The victim, 13 year old Rachel Ehmke, was taken to St Mary's Hospital where she later died.
The Sheriff's Office investigation of the residence that evening found no suicide note or any specific indication from Rachel indicating why she chose to take her own life. Rachel's family indicated that she was upset about the text message being investigated and she mentioned wanting to change schools. The family said that Rachel had been dealing with on-going bullying in school for several months.
On Sunday April 29th, while Officer Peck was assisting reviewing materials in Rachel's school locker, there was a hand written note that appeared to indicate she was talking with another student about changing schools or going to an on-line school to avoid the problems she was having at the Kasson-Mantorville Middle school.
On Monday April 30th , it was determined that the text message in question had originated from an IPod application from Pinger, Inc, an application that allows Ipods to send text messages to cell phones via internet wi-fi connections. An administrative subpoena was issued and a few days later the company reported an IP address as the source of this email message. A search of this IP address identified it as an address belonging to the KM-Telecom in Kasson.
On May 2nd, an administrative subpoena was issued to KM-Telecom in Kasson for the location of this IP Address. Law Enforcement received the results that afternoon indicating that the text message originated from Rachel's father's residence in Mantorville.
During this time period, there were several students, including the four students who originally reported the text message, that were being blamed for the message and Rachel's actions. These students had become the targets of bullying and harassment during that week after Rachel's death both in school and online.
While we weren't prepared to release any specific details regarding the text message and its origin due to the investigation being ongoing, we felt that it was important that a message get sent out to parents and students that the students who were being singled out for this incident were not responsible for it. This information was provided to the school who then sent out a message to parents and students indicating that the message did not come from any of these students. This release was done with the understanding that after further investigation, a press release would be issued regarding the investigations findings.
Through our investigation, which is still open pending autopsy results, we've determined that the text message in question originated from Rachel's father's residence, and possibly Rachel herself. Due to there being no suicide note left, we can only speculate as to her motivation for sending this message out. We did receive information that she had been talking to friends about trying to transfer out of KM because of problems she had been having there and had mentioned this to her parents on Friday.
In conclusion, we believe that harassment and bullying were likely factors in Rachel's death. That being said, it appears that she had problems with a number of different people, of different ages, over the past several months. Unfortunately, there was a rush to judgment by many as to who was responsible for this most recent incident. Many of these students who have been singled out, harassed and bullied since her death were in fact students who Rachel told Officer Peck that she was now friends with again. There is not one incident or action done by any particular student(s) that we believe is responsible for Rachel's death. Because of this, the County Attorney's Office had determined that there is insufficient evidence to file charges against anyone regarding this case. However, the students responsible for harassing these students who were singled out will now risk being charged if their conduct continues. There has also been harassment reported this past week against some of the parents of these students. The person(s) responsible for this and any future harassment also risk being investigated and charged accordingly.
Our next step is to meet with the Kasson Police Department and the K-M School District to discuss increased involvement of the School Resource Officer in reviewing bullying and harassment complaints filed within the KM school district and consequences for students who participate in this behavior. We would like to assist in educating the community about harassment and bullying including inappropriate behaviors via social media and texting. We believe that law enforcement can work together with the public to help prevent an incident like this from happening again.
As mentioned before, this case will remain open pending final autopsy results."

Heather Corinna replies:
If the girl is on the top while having sex, does she do anything or does he do the work?
Some folks have the idea -- usually before they have any or some kinds of sex with a partner, or when the only kinds of sex they've had have been when one or both partners either feel uncertain, not ready or just aren't all that excited and aroused -- that you can divide any kind of sex with partners into an issue of one person being active (or "doing the work") and the other is passive (or "just lying there").
But when any two people (or more) are passionate about each other and the sex they're having, into and comfortable with partnered sex, and enjoying the sex they're having, that just isn't how it usually happens. When we're really all into it and enjoying ourselves, it's pretty hard to tell if any one person is more active than the other, just like when two people really good at dancing together, it can be hard to tell who, if either of them, is leading.
For example, if you're asking about penis-in-vagina intercourse where a woman is on top, what you'll usually experience is the female partner moving back and forth or up and down, grinding her pelvis against her partner's. She might also be using her arms, shoulders and back the way one does when doing a pushup. She might be using her knees or feet to push her body back and forth. And don't forget: the vagina, all by itself, is an active muscle. It grips what it around it: it doesn't just hang out and whistle Dixie while things happen to it. Her partner may be gripping her waist or hips with his hands to pull and push her as well, and may be moving his hips beneath her in tandem. He might even be using his hands to rub her clitoris or massage her buttocks or breasts at the same time.
To give you a better idea of how this passive/active thing isn't what goes on, here are a few more examples:
In case it isn't obvious, that doesn't mean that in any of these scenarios any given person has to be doing all of that. Some people have disabilities which restrict their movement in some way, some people may even role-play having one partner be immobile or passive sometimes, and sometimes, any one partner is a little more active in a given way than another. That's all okay and all those situations are also possibilities for healthy, satisfying and consensual sex. As well, there's more than one way to be active and all-there with sex: we can also be so verbally as well as physically. But overall, both partners should usually be pretty equally engaged and active together.
See how in those examples, while there can be receptive partners in terms of whose genitals are being engaged or given focus, or partners whose genitals are taking in or filling up some part of the other, it doesn't make sense to think of one partner as active, and another passive? When we're all really into what we're doing and sex is feeling great, it's kind of like that feeling sometimes when you're just so darn happy, you've got to jump up and down; you often can't help but move and groove with it.
If you do ever find yourself in a situation where you or your partner are being very passive or seem/feel immobile, you'll want to stop what you're doing and check in with them and/or yourself.
People who behave that way during sex often do so because they are fearful, nervous, aren't experiencing pleasure or because they don't really want to be having the sex that they are. So, if and when you experience something like that, take a pause and have a chat with your partner, making sure that you're both having the kind of sex you and s/he are really interested in, only if and when you both wants to, and that you both really wants to be doing what you are. If you or they need anything additional to feel more comfortable or good, you can reassure one another about sharing that, and communicate what you need to each other. If, no matter what, a partner or you aren't responsive physically or verbally with this kind of situation, you just want to stop having sex, period. The only healthy time to be sexual with someone else is when you're both keyed up, turned on and open enough to each other to really be engaged in and fully present for what you're doing.
I really hope that whatever kind of sex you have with someone else, it never feels like work for either of you! Sex with a partner is about play, about communion, about both partners kind of crawling inside one another to explore something deep, intimate and pleasurable, no matter what kind of relationship you're in. Partnered sex is like an adult version of a pillow fight or a ticklefest. If it ever feels like a drag or like it takes a lot of boring effort to be enjoyable, I hope you'll remember that it really shouldn't and revisit your partnerships, your and their motivations for sex, and whatever it is you both do together to find a shared sex life that's always enjoyable and never a burden.

Comments On Mar 18, 2013:I had ordered and returned the MSR shorts before purchaseing these. The MSR waist band was not very comfortable. I have a sit down style of riding and I will say that the chamois makes for good end of the day. The waste band is wide and comfortable. They are a little lower on my waste than my normal shorts but not a problem. The pads do not cover the top of my hip bone, but I doubt that any of these type of shorts will. Sizing was true to my other shorts.

Comments On Jan 07, 2013:I race indoor on concrete as well as in the woods and these shorts have held up great and offer great protection to my hips and rear. The padding on the rear lets you sit a lot longer without getting worn out and the hip protection helps when you wipe out. I've had a number of offs with them and they have held up great. Makes for a much happier body after a day of hard riding.

Celiac Disease
Celiac Sprue Overview
Patient Comments
Celiac disease, also known as celiac disease, gluten-sensitive enteropathy, and gluten-induced enteropathy, is a chronic disease of the digestive tract that interferes with the digestion and absorption of nutrients from food. People with celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten, a protein commonly found in wheat, rye, barley, and to some degree, oats. When affected individuals ingest foods containing gluten, the lining (mucosa) of the intestine becomes damaged due to the body's immune reaction. Because the lining of the intestine contains essential enzymes for digestion and absorption, its destruction leads to malabsorption, a difficulty in absorption of food and essential nutrients. As result, celiac disease is often considered a malabsorption disorder.
Persons with celiac disease experience improvement in the condition when on a strict, gluten-free diet and relapse when dietary gluten is reintroduced. With treatment, celiac disease is rarely fatal. However, untreated and unrecognized celiac disease may slightly increase the risk of developing intestinal lymphoma, a form of cancer.
Celiac disease is a genetic disease; the genes for this condition may be transmitted to some family members and not to others. Sometimes the disease is triggered, or becomes apparent for the first time, after surgery, pregnancy, childbirth, viral infection, or severe emotional stress. Celiac disease is rare in persons with an African American, Caribbean, or Asian background. Females are slightly more affected than males. Although celiac disease can manifest at any age, the detection of this disease usually peaks at 8-12 months and in the third to fourth decade of life.
The true prevalence of celiac disease is not known. The increased awareness and the availability of better diagnostic tests have led to the realization that the disease is relatively common. The highest prevalence is in Western Europe and in places where Europeans emigrated, notably North America and Australia.

Two men are behind bars accused by the Pitt County Sheriff's Office of trafficking several grams of uncut heroin.
A media release says that on January 25th, 41-year-old Eric Strong of Winterville and 24-year-old Kenneth Harley of Clinton, Maryland were arrested and charged. Strong faces felony trafficking in heroin by possession and transport. Harley faces felony trafficking in heroin by possession.
Officials say that 25 grams of raw, uncut heroin was found during a targeted traffic stop on Highway 903 outside of Stokes by deputies. The uncut heroin has a street value between $25,000 to $30,000.
"Pure, uncut heroin is absolutely lethal if injected," explained Sheriff Neil Elks. "Once cut, 25 grams break down into 1200 single dosage units."
Strong, who is also said to be a fugitive with warrants from Maryland, was given a $1.5 million secured bond. Harley was given a $100,000 secured bond. Both are being held in the Pitt County Detention Center.
The arrests were a part of a two-month investigation by the sheriff's office narcotics unit and with assistance by the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office.

Firing Line
3yo Colt Line of David Sister Girl Blues
6-2-4-0 $974,800
First or second in five starts to open his career, Firing Line continued his pattern by finishing a length behind winner American Pharoah in the Kentucky Derby on May 2 at Churchill Downs.
Second by a half-length in his debut last fall at Santa Anita, the Line of David colt broke his maiden on the Polytrack at Del Mar before wrapping up his juvenile season running second by a head to Dortmund in the Los Alamitos Futurity (G1).
Firing Line kicked off his sophomore year in similar fashion, running a head behind Dortmund in the Robert Lewis (G3) in February. In his first start outside of California, the bay colt romped by 14 ¼ lengths in New Mexico's Sunland Derby (G3), his final tune-up for Louisville.
Forwardly placed in each of his races, Firing Line finally finished ahead of Dortmund but was unable to turn back his stablemate after a protracted stretch duel in the Kentucky Derby.

Travis Sherer
SEATTLE -- A big surprise started signing day for the Huskies as they pulled down one of the top safeties in the nation when Sean Parker announced on ESPNU that he was going to be a Dawg.But in the end it was business as usual under the Steve Sarkisian regime, as Washington signed 30 recruits with most of them expected."They were relentless. Three hundred and sixty-five days ago we offered 30 juniors in two days and away we went," Sarkisian said of his recruiters. "Our guys did a fantastic job developing relationships with not only the players, but aunts, uncles, parents, brothers and sisters."As was a point of emphasis for Sarkisian from his first day on Montlake, keeping in-state talent in Seattle was a high priority and he kept his word, signing most of Washington state's top talent. Nine recruits are coming from inside the state, while 16 are from California, another area that Sarkisian said needed to be established for success."Anytime you have a plan -- whether it be in football or recruiting -- you want to see it unfold like you wanted, and I think that happened this year," Sarkisian said. "We took care of our own state, we went into California and did the damage we needed to get done and went into Hawai'i and signed, in our opinion, the top four players in the state."While monikers such as Montana, Cooper and Parker garner all the attention, Sarkisian couldn't help but stress the importance of signing linemen on both sides of the ball. Without them, he wouldn't be able to call this a complete class.Quarterback:Let's just call this Group Montana. Nick Montana made his oral commitment to the University of Washington way back in June, and since then he's working to enroll early and start his career with the Huskies."I finally get to talk about him," Sarkisian said. "Everybody has been asking me about him."The 6-3, 194-pound righty from Oaks Christian High School in California threw for 2,635 yards and 34 touchdowns as a senior, and led his team to a 27-1 record as a starter. One of those wins included a 28-25 win over Jake Heaps and Skyline this season."He's got all of the physical tools that we could want in a quarterback. He can throw in the pocket, he's got great presence in the pocket with his keeping his eyes down field, he has the ability when things break down to get out of the pocket and extremely adept to throwing on the run," Sarkisian said of Montana.More importantly, Sark was gushing about Montana's personality, saying he has the leadership qualities needed at the collegiate level and beyond."The kids want to be around him, and that's how quarterbacks are supposed to be," Sark said. "A lot of the same things could be said about his father, but I'm not going to compare him to Joe."Sarkisian said he thought Montana picked Washington to step out of his father's Hall-of-Fame shadow and create his own legacy, which could start as soon as Jake Locker's ends after the 2010 season."I think it's realistic (that Montana could start in 2011), he comes from an extremely good system," Sakisian said. "...but he's going to have to compete. We've got another young man here by the name of Keith Price who had a tremendous freshman year."Running Backs:The Huskies signed a pair of running backs from California that finished Nos. 1 and 2 in rushing yards this season. Deontae Cooper, coming out of Citris Hill High School, is thought to be one of the top running backs in the state, rushing for 2,863 yards on 316 carries (9.01 avg) and 34 touchdowns. In his career, Cooper finished with 7,450 rushing yards and 107 touchdowns, which is second on the school's record list behind 2009 Heisman Trophy runner-up Toby Gerhart of Stanford."He's a downhill runner, very explosive," Sarkisian said. "I could easily see him as a 225-pound tailback."On the other end of the spectrum is Jesse Callier, who at 5-10 and 187 pounds projects to be more of a scat back."He's not a straight-line guy. He's a guy that can catch, played quarterback and DB," Sarkisian said.However he gets it done, he is productive, rushing for 3,010 yards -- seventh-highest total in the nation -- and 43 touchdowns this season. Sarkisian said that he was excited to get a pair of different running styles."They bring a different mix to the table, but at the end of the day, they're extremely productive," he said.Full Back:The key word here is athletic. Zach Fogerson -- brother of Husky tailback Johri Fogerson -- is a 6-0, 231-pound blocker from O'Dea with the ability to gain yards."He's hopefully adding an element that we didn't have last year and that's athleticism," Sarkisian said. "He has the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, and run the ball. His versatility is key for us."Wide Receivers:The Dawgs kept the same mold of wide receivers as they went for in 2009 with the quick-twich and solid hands-type guys. For any fans hoping for their sons to play football at Washington, Sarkisian made a point of saying he liked recruits that play basketball."We're keeping our length at wide receiver -- to be a 50-50, going up to get the ball in the air type guy," Sarkisian said.Starting with DiAndre Campbell, who played both ways for Oakland Tech to acclaim. He was a first-team all-league receiver and a second-team defensive back in 2009. He led the Oakland Athletic League with 28 receptions for 490 yards and 10 touchdowns, and had 70 tackles, three picks and five sacks on defense. While Campbell looks to be a solid recruit with upside, newcomer Kevin Smith exemplifies upside.A project out of Centennial in California, who has played just over a year of organized football caught the Huskies' attention. He was the MVP of his league and helped them go from 1-9 to 7-3 and win the league championship. Sark so far as to liken him to Terrell Owens."He's shredded, he looks good and he's strong," Sarkisian said. "And how he develops is going to be exciting for us."Tight EndComing out of Bothel is tight end Michael Hartvigson, who was named to the Seattle Times all-area team, caught 16 passes for 213 yards and six touchdowns, but also isn't afraid to get dirty."He has the nastiness to block, being a defensive end in high school," Sarkisian said. "So we're excited about him.O-LineThe Huskies made up for their inability to sign an offensive lineman in 2009 with getting seven this year -- and combined, they average 6-3.5 and 245 pounds."It's kind of like where's the beef when it comes to these guys -- they're huge," Sark joked. "This is a huge point of emphasis for us in this class because we were too late in the game to get the type of players we want last year."The tiniest being Colin Tanigawa from Pasadena, Calif., who is the only projected guard in the class, might be one of Sark's favorites."He's a nasty, tough kid from a great high school that is hard-nosed," he said.But the highlight of this group is probably Montana's teammate Erik Kohler. The 6-foot-5, 300-pound mauler is one of the top guards in the nation and will also have a shot to move outside at the next level.There was also some local beef who will make their way to Montlake. Bothell's Colin Porter could be a mainstay for the Huskies on the interior at either guard or center and O'Dea's Ben Riva has the perfect frame and long arms to be an effect tackle.The rest of them -- James Atoe (6-6, 339), Mike Criste (6-5, 279), Micah Hatchie (6-5, 265), could all be given a shot at tackle to start."That's what you want because if they don't work at tackle, then you can always move him inside," he said.Husky fans should be happy to see a coach signing seven offensive lineman instead of seven wide receivers as they look to bigger and tougher in the trenches."We're excited about all these guys, they're physical, they're athletic, they fit to what we want to do and we've talked about for months now- we've got to be able to run the football and be a physical program and this is where it starts. This was a huge point of emphasis for us in this class because of the simple fact that we didn't sign any guys last year on O-line, it was too late in the game we didn't feel like we could get the quality player last year. So to come in this year and be able to sign seven of these guys is huge for us on the offensive line."D-LineOne of the gems from this year's class was lineman Sione Potoa out of Lakes. With the ability to already toss around over 400 pounds on the bench, he has the strength and athleticism to make an impact as a freshman."He's a fantastic player," Sarkisian said. "He was hard-fought battle to keep in state. He was recruited by some of the top schools in the country. I think he could have that instant-impact factor for us."And if Potoa is supposed to be the thunder, then Lawrence Lagaguaina is the lightning. At 6-0, 336 pounds, Lagafuaina ran a 4.80 40-yard dash at camp."This guy has the speed and quickness to have a huge impact," Sark said.Hau'oli Jamora might be the Dawgs' top defensive end recruit, coming from Kahuku in Hawai'i, he was the co-defensive player of the year. "A kid who not only can rush the passer but does a great job defending the run," sark said of Jamora. "He's physical, we're excited about him."Also, Andrew Hudson, who is wrestling for a state championship in California right now had 57 tackles and 10 sacks as a senior."He's potentially a state wrestling champ in the state of California this year, he's got great hands, he's got great leverage which enables him to be a force against the run and he has the ability and the passion to rush the passer which is great." Finally Brent Williams from San Fernando, Calif., who had 17 sacks two years ago and five in 2009. A lot has been debated about Williams' weight, which was listed on GoHuskies.com as 186 pounds, but Sarkisian happily reported that has changed to around 205 pounds."He's getting to where he needs to be," he said. "And on third down, you need those guys to can pressure and play coverage and that's how you get to the quarterback and this guy can do it."Linebackers:Sark called the linebacker spot a huge area of need at the press conference and acted accordingly, signing five."We had to fill numbers, not only from a linebacker perspective, but from a special teams perspective as well," he said. "We needed guys that can run around and hit, make an impact early on special teams for us."Deliberately choosing a starting point at Victor Burnett from Los Angeles, Calif., who set a school record with 425 career tackles -- 94 as a senior despite missing four games due to a leg injury. Burnett will be an early enrollment."I think this group is really spearheaded by Victor Burnett out of Culver City High School, a kid who's going to be an early enrollee here in spring with us. Fantastic player, student body president, very bright young man, but also will hit you every chance he gets."Princeton Fuimaono was next. The Orange Lutheran product was injured most of the 2009 season, but notched 85 tackles and 12 sacks as a junior."He's like Burnett, you look at him on film, he can fly around, puts his face on ya," Sark said of Fiumaono.A local product who could surprise fans in the coming years was Skyline High School's Cooper Pelluer. He had 77 tackles and 10 sacks in 2009, helping the Spartans to a 4A state championship. At 6-foot-3 and over 220-pounds, Pelluer has quality speed and could end up being a diamond in the rough."He's a kid we've had earmarked for a while now and it was just waiting until our numbers worked the way we want, but Cooper is a perfectly stern linebacker with the versatility to play a tight end man-to-man and rush the passer," Sarkisian.Garret Gilliland is another player who might go overlooked on signing day because of a senior season injury, but he's one of the best tacklers in the state of California."Garret Gilliland out of Orange Lutheran High School in Orange County, another outside linebacker type. Athletic, 2-time defensive player of the year in his league, just a great player, a guy who's very bright and very smart and that's a common theme that we need from our linebackers. We need guys that understand the game of football and have a really high football IQ."Rounding out the class are locals Darius Waters (Lakes) and Chris Young (Auburn)."Darius Waters and Chris Young, both local products, physical players, put your face on you, that are going to have an impact on the field and their presence will be felt when they get out there."Defensive Backs:The news of the past two days revolved around the late addition of ESPN-100 recruit Sean Parker from Narbonne in Los Angeles. Parker was a second-team All-American, who played in the U.S. Army All-American game and has been ranked as high as No. 10 overall on national scout lists."For us, in today's game, a safety better be able to play deep-half, he better be able to play middle-third, he better be able to come down and fit up the run game, he better be able to blitz the quarterback and he better be able to play man-to-man coverage with the stuff we see. This guy fits the bill -- that's why he's so special," Sark said.Also, Jermaine Kearse's brother, Jamaal Kearse signed today. A first-team all-state player from Lakes High School, he's got the size and athletic ability to be a good one."Loving Jamaal Kearse. We've obviously seen what his brother Jermaine's done for us. Jamaal's a big kid, 6'2" 215 right now, I'm anxious to watch to see how he grows. He's got a great frame on him, a great presence."ark said that Taz Stevenson out of Hawai'i has similar ability to Parker, with his coverages and John Timu will grey shirting due to a blown MCL."He is a kid that unfortunately blew out his ACL in the second game of the year so he'll be grayshirted and be here next January for us, but a fantastic athlete and if you go around to the high school coaches in Southern California, he's one of the first names coaches want to bring up to talk to us about because he's been that dynamic on the field."The only corner back from this year's class is Gregory Ducre from Crenshaw in Los Angeles, who represents where Sark said he and defensive coordinator Nick Holt want to go with the secondary in the future with more man-to-man coverage."This kid is a lock-down, shut-down corner whose going to fit extremely well for us," he said ...More...
