Welcome to Bohol!
God's Little Paradise, as it is sometimes called by the Boholanos themselves. This is not fully unjustified, as the island is one of the most diverse and most attractive destinations in the Philippines. Within its area of about 4200 square kilometers, it houses countless white sandy beaches, numerous historic churches and watchtowers, enchanting waterfalls and caves, and, unique in the world, its amazing and stunning Chocolate Hills.
Scenic Bohol casts an enigmatic charm drawn from the many archaic mementos spread throughout the oval-shaped island unique rock formations to a 45-million-year-old mammal species, to massive stone watchtowers built by the Spaniards in the 18th century. Surrounding the mainland are 73 other smaller offshore islands and islets whose palm-fringed coastlines are rimmed by white sand and sheltering coves. Serpentine coastal highways wind along unsullied beaches and rustic rivers where the tourist can stop at any point and jump in for a dip.
Bohol is famous for whale watching, river cruising, smallest primate-Tarsier, Sandugo Festival, beaches, scuba diving, mountain climbing, caving, cambuhat oyster farm (ecotourism activity), Bird watching
Town visits promise exciting cultural treats that include scheduled performances by the Teatro Bolanon, Dimiao Rondalla, Diwanag Dance Theater and the award-winning Loboc Children's Choir.
Bohol is an anchor tourist destination and one of the 7,000 times more islands that make up the Philippine archipelago.

Reply to: A Fla. Rabbi Protested Trump—And Lost Job
2 days 6 hours ago
I entered the rabbinate to make a change in the world. As a holocaust survivors' kid I wanted to make ' never again ' a reality. For over 41 years as a Rabbi I have been outspoken on radio, T.V. the press, face book , my published books and yes the pulpit. Do I recommend that young rabbis and seminary graduates do this, my answer is absolutely 'no.' This is a recipe for being fired, being attacked in the press and having few friends. People consider you a loose cannon. However, some of us are born with the desire to make changes and feel that politics is essential in the Rabbinate. I did not agree with the rabbis who walked out on Trump, since I am Rabbi for Trump, however I respected them for having the guts and courage to do so. Some of the same rabbis may have or will attack me in the press and that is fine. Firing a rabbi who is excellent in the pulpit happens often for many reasons including a congregant or board who want him or her out for a political statement or action. I pray for all of us rabbis who give our lives to our congregations and in the end get the shaft. I write this to give encouragement to rabbis who are outspoken and politically active. I am certain most will disagree with me and will state there should be separation between the pulpit and religion. I am now retired and if I had to do it all over again , I would have tried to learn from my mistakes , however I would have remained outspoken. A special merit should go to all the rabbis' wives and their families, but especially to those whose parents and spouses are outspoken. RABBI DR. BERNHARD ROSENBERG

The Journal Sentinel's Rick Barrett offers news for Harley enthusiasts about motorcycle industry and culture.
Harley-Davidson asks judge to dismiss cruise-control lawsuit
Harley-Davidson has asked a Texas judge to dismiss claims from a motorcyclist who says defective cruise control caused his bike to hit a concrete highway barrier.
In the lawsuit, William Simmons said he was injured in July 2009 when the cruise control on his bike engaged as he entered a curved ramp on Interstate 45. He said that he applied the brakes, but the malfunction caused him to lose control of the bike.
Harley said there was not "one scintilla of evidence" of a design or manufacturing defect that caused the crash.
Here's a link to the full story from Courthouse News. (17)

Revolving around the world of air sex -- think air guitar and replace the guitar with genitalia, "Love & Air Sex" (formerly "The Bounceback") is a film full of shocking surprises, not only does it have a grown man pretending to be a dinosaur pleasuring himself but also because it has an exceptionally relatable and engaging love-story that meshes perfectly with its raunchy comedy.
The film follows the post-breakup aftermath of Stan [Michael Stahl-David] and Cathy [Ashley Bell] who live on opposite ends of the country. Though the distance keeps them apart, Stan keeps tabs on his old flame via Facebook and finds out she's planning a trip to Austin, Texas and without hesitation books a flight out immediately after.
This screams typical RomCom (Romantic Comedy) but it certainly is no "When Harry Met Sally." The monkey-wrench in the cog is the Air Sex Championships which so happens to be in town and Stan's vulgar best friend Jeff [Zach Cregger] is an avid enthusiast.
Heartache is in the air as Jeff is going through a breakup of his own with his on again off again girlfriend Kara [Sara Paxton]. Their dysfunctional relationship keep the laughs going with their outrageous and ludicrous displays.
Air sex is half of the movie title but it only acts as a vehicle to help the film along as the main focus is Stan and Cathy battling between rekindling their love or moving on. After both meeting new people in Austin the outcome is unclear to what will happen to their old bond.
With only having about three major scenes, the air sex is a minor device to set the film apart from others. Although very funny and entertaining, it adds little to the plot.
If the audience can spend enough time from texting on their own phones they'll notice the familiar bubbles on the screen as Stan texts his new admirer. He goes through what many men do when texting someone new for the first time -- wondering when she'll text back, if she thinks he's funny or if he crossed a line.
When he panics after she doesn't respond to his risqué text, he's quick to throw in a "jk" which is a spot-on display of something that happens everyday in today's modern age of flirting through your phone.
It's the little things like these that make it clear that director Bryan Poyser knew his target audience -- technology obsessed twenty-somethings.
"Love & Air Sex" sells itself as a raunchy relationship comedy but there's more to it then some cheap laughs. There's a lot of heart underneath the surface that's sure to satisfy both fans of romantic and comedic movies.
Opens on Friday, February 7th theatrically and on VOD in NYC with a nationwide rollout.

Well, Hello there. Nice to Meet you Again.
Wow, I just took a look at my last post in this blog and the last time I wrote was in January??!! Oh my. Time to sweep away the cobwebs and blow off the dust. Hello, I'm back from my hiatus. Oh boy, it really takes a long while for me to get back on my feet again. How have you guys been? I have several plans for a makeover of this blog but I can't seem to find enough free time to do it and now with the Holy Week break almost over, we'll be back to the work grind once again.
The Nessie Ladle
I love soups! They're very easy to cook and when paired with the right entree, it could open to a very delightful meal. What I hate though is everytime I serve soup, there's that chance that the ladle will slip sideways and end up inside the pot. It's icky to fish it out. Look how nifty this ladle is. It's also very very cute!
Space Invaders Pillow
One of the most classic arcade games is Space Invaders and for a geekette like me. Having a pillow made from one of the pixel aliens tickles my funny bone. It measures 17.75″ x 13″ x 4″ and great as an accent pillow. Want this for yourself? Click on the PRODUCT LINK.

Can't view the video, but I will check out the templates. Thanks for making them available.
Iris, it opens in a new browser window. If you have a pop-up blocker enabled, it might keep it from opening. It will also be on our youtube channel shortly. http://www.youtube.com/user/hhcolorlab
Cool, thanks!
Great! Thanks! Now how do i get the finished book design into EZsuite? I saw the "send to HH" button… is that all? And is there a way I can show customers the design online? Thanks!
Does it have hard pages? Or pages like a usual book that you can order from snapfish, mac, picaboo, ritz, etc… Like that you can enlarge and move around…
Thanks so much! I'm going to have to try this out.
One quick question – can this new software be used to design and order Black Tie Albums? Please let us know.
I'm excited to try out the new software! Excellent music choice to show how FAST we can draft out an album and then make tweeking modifications!
Johnna, eZSuite is not involved. You upload directly from this software.
Jen, it is not the hard pages.
Kim, we are going to add albums to this software, but have not done so yet.
We have used this and already received the book – it really looks good – BUT – program will not allow to save the pages as JPEGS. We would like to use the books on our website for samples. Also, in the past have had people want to have a large print of one page from our books – can't do that with this program either.
I love this but since there aren't any real good senior ones, its kinda useless for me 🙁

LAREDO, TX (KGNS) - High school students are always trying to achieve opportunities for a better education, but now the opportunities are coming to the students.
United High School administrators, teachers, counselors, and students welcomed LCC's Mobile Education Center (M.E.C.) to their campus. The Education Center is loaded with many computer stations for students to go for completing college admission applications, grants, and scholarships. LCC Academic Advisor Araceli Duran said the M.E.C. assists high school counselors by offering students another outlet to prepare their college and financial aid applications.
"The unit expedites services to graduating students and underclassmen who wish to start their applcation processes at an earlier date." said Duran.
During the month of February, the unit also stopped by J.B. Alexander High School, L.B.J. High School, and United South High School. The project has also established routes for high school students in Zapata and Hebbronville. The M.E.C. was obtained through a grant from the Pioneer Foundation.
For more information on the M.E.C., contact Araceli Duran at Laredo Community College, 956-794-4978.

Original paintings of the natural beauty of the Bahamas, with semi-abstract views of coral reefs & seascapes. May these images inspire you to enjoy & protect these beautiful, precious ecosystems.
D. Michael Adams trained under a Master Sculptor in Paris from 1992-96, before moving back to the US where he began to cast in bronze. Michael and his photographer wife, Anyes, established Arts Alive Gallery/Studio in Breckenridge, Colorado,. In 2005, he moved with his family to an ocean-front home in the Bahamas, creating both sculptures and paintings in this idyllic setting. Since 2010, the family has been in London, where Michael was elected to the United Society of Artists.. Michael's paintings are notable for their sculptural texture and warm colours. Paintings include both figurative and landscapes themes. His new show, Coral Reefs and Seascapes, portrays the fragile beauty of marine life.

Highest point: Kinder Scout (636 metres / SK085875)
Principal town: Buxton
The majority of the Peak District National Park falls within the boundaries of Derbyshire and makes the area a great destination for anyone interested in outdoor activities. From the high wilderness moorland of Bleaklow and Kinder Scout, two tough and respectable sized mountains, the region takes in much hill country and narrow winding dales that makes for dramatic walking that can be make as hard or easy as you like. Split into two distinct regions, The Dark and The White Peak (that comprise of gritstone and limestone respectively), the walker will find an area of edges that can be followed high above tree lined dales and valleys, of rounded summits and long moorland routes under huge skies.
The rock climbing potential of the area is legendary with such famous outcrops as Stanage Edge giving great sport to beginners and hard climbers alike. Since new open access legislation, much of the previously 'out of bounds' summits have been opened and great ridge walks can be enjoyed over the narrow Chrome Hill and Parkhouse Hill near Buxton. Mention 'ridge' in Derbyshire and there is only one real place to go and that is 'The Great Ridge' that runs between Mam Tor (The shivering mountain) and Lose hill and makes a great skyline walk high above the vale of Edale where The Pennine Way starts. Add to all this a great variety of low level possibilities along narrow gorge like dales and atmospheric routes along rivers and through forests and you will find a region hard to beat for outdoor action.

I came across someone noting that an English term for the training area of Sumo wrestlers is "sumo stable", and that "stable" is usually a word used for horses. She found it a bit funny. I'm not sure whether she meant "funny" as in "haha", or "funny" as in "strange".
Wiktionary doesn't have any definitions of stable other than a place for animals, or the horses from a stable.
Do English-speakers view sumo wrestlers as being like animals, or is there a meaning of "stable" that I'm unaware of?

Hooked Rugs
Hand hooked rugs have delighted generations with their gorgeous patterns and intricate detailing. Originally a popular pastime with homemakers in the 1800's, crochet hooks were used to pull scraps of wool through a backing of sturdy burlap. Floral designs and geometrics were very popular, and the more industrious women copied popular Persian patterns of the day.
Fortunately, the art of hand hooking rugs is still alive today. We carry a large selection of 100% wool hand hooked rugs in a variety of sizes from 2'x3' through 8x11. There are aubussons, florals, Victorian Style and Colonial patterns. Scatter rugs, runners and chair pads too!
Colors available range from ivory and black through reds, blues, greens and more. Pastels and primary colors, casual to formal, there's something for every room in your home!
Hooked rugs are made in several qualities to achieve different effects. Using a thick wool yarn necessitates larger "hooks" or loops, adding thickness to the rug but giving a more rustic, less detailed look. To make finer patterns, thinner wool yarns are used to make tiny hooks. The smaller the hook, the more hooks are needed to create a rug. This creates a dense wool surface, which is very durable and produces an exceptionally detailed design. The finishing touch to any quality hooked rug is a latex backing, which adds body to the rug and holds the loops securely.

A realignment of the city's law department and prosecutor's office will provide greater flexibility with attorneys able to handle both criminal and civil cases, Law Director Anthony Farris said.
The changes occurred after a shake-up in the prosecutor's office that led to the recent firings of Jay Macejko as prosecutor and Bret Hartup and John Marsh as assistant prosecutors.
Mayor Charles Sammarone promoted Dana Lantz from first-assistant law director/housing inspector to prosecutor April 5 after firing Macejko.
Hartup was fired a day later, and Marsh's last day was April 13.
The city's board of control is to consider legislation today to give Macejko a $15,350.19 severance package and Hartup a $12,821.20 severance package — for 35 percent of their unused sick days as well as unused vacation and other times. Marsh's severance package is forthcoming.
Since the firings, the city has used attorneys in the law department's civil division to handle criminal matters.
The city is making changes over the next five weeks to bring stability to its legal department.
Rebecca Gerson, a part-time first-assistant law director, will begin to work full time on the civil side starting next week. Her annual base-pay salary will increase from $33,888.19 for a 20-hour workweek to $66,040.52 for a full-time workweek.
Also, Kathy Thompson, another part-time first- assistant law director, will be a full-time assistant prosecutor starting May 7. Her annual base-pay salary will go from $33,888.19 for part-time work to $54,483.78 for the full-time job.
Both will receive full medical benefits from the city.
The city will hire Renee Lacivita, effective June 1, as an assistant prosecutor, earning $58,052.28 a year in base-pay salary with full medical benefits.
Though the law director is supposed to oversee the city prosecutor's office, the latter largely was autonomous the past several years, Farris said.
That's changing to allow those on the civil end to prosecute criminal cases and for assistant prosecutors to help with civil matters when needed, he said.
"Everybody needs to know how to do everything," Farris said. "It will make life simpler and more effective."
When the realignment is done, there will be four lawyers on the criminal side compared with five in the past.
On the civil side, there are two full-timers and three part-time workers. There will be three full-time lawyers and one part-timer under the realignment.
The civil side handles issues such as defending the city in lawsuits, preparing contracts, legislation and legal opinions as well as handling labor and workers compensation issues, Farris said.
Sammarone said he's pleased with the work Gerson and Thompson have done and they deserved to be hired on a full-time basis.
"They've earned their way up; they've been very effective," said the mayor, who added he believes the realignment will be effective.
If it isn't working, the city will re-evaluate, Sammarone and Farris said.
Sammarone fired Macejko and Hartup after an investigation into a controversial text message about President Barack Obama to Hartup that appeared to show it came from the former prosecutor. Macejko has denied sending or receiving the text.
Marsh's firing had nothing to do with the investigation, Farris has said.
All attorneys at the law department and prosecutor's office are at-will employees who can be fired by the mayor at any time. Shortly after Sammarone was appointed mayor in August 2011 and Farris appointed law director, most of the civil-side lawyers were fired.
Macejko already cost the city over 100K in the Basil Ally lawsuit and who knows how much Debra Byrds suit will be settled for- Now the city wants to give him severance pay?? What a travesty! Slap in the face to city taxpayers!
WOW moving up from part-time to full-time is a HEFTY salary hike. Do we REALLY need so many attorneys in the law dept and prosecutors office? Why?
Looks like this "realignment" is costing us more money every day.
Ytown, we should just sit back like blind sheep and accept the shenanigans that go on downtown?? I don't think so. This crap has to be brought out in the open so we can see what we get for our tax dollars
By hiring more full time employees , the muslim will be able to worship on county time on Fridays without causing any problems for the county.
Hey Red, at least the Muslim won't be harassed by his supervisors anymore.
For our astute readers above who cant figure out basic math and would like to be snarky instead..... the Mayor fired 3 full time employees, made 2 part time to full time equal hiring one more, and hired one more full time, so for firing 3 we actually gained 2 full time employees, meaning the City saved us taxpayers one full time employee. Keep at it guys, its fun to read the really uninformed and snarky

I invest based on fundamentals. However, from a technical standpoint the daily chart seems to be presenting a nearly textbook example of a reverse head-and-shoulders bottom. Of course, the slight whiff of a buyout possibility ( Roche?) doesn't hurt. Outstanding level of insider buying is a big positive, as well.
PACB doesn't present much to excite traders, but IMHO investors will be rewarded in time.
Little did I know when I posted the prior post a couple of hours ago that we'd be breaking through the $2.39 resistance level so quickly... and with such fabulous volume!
Great technicals AND buyout rumors.
I'll take it for now, but PACB is worth MUCH more than $2.48 / share.
I can't say I am disappointed with my buy on Friday.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Once again, I feel that the long term fundamentals of PACB look fabulous. However, the shorter term chart is absolutely gorgeous!
In the future, technicians will be able to use the daily chart of PACB as a "Mona Lisa" example of a Bullish chart pattern.
Short term traders are starting to notice. That may not be a bad thing. When the attention-deficit crowd gets bored, their exit will provide investors with another decent entry point. (Granted, that will be at a higher price than we currently see, but investment capital is not always available at Market Lows!)

College Hockey:Bentley Drops Army, 4-0
WALTHAM, Mass. — Bentley freshman Jeff Gumaer potted a pair of goals, fellow classmate Anthony Canzoneri had a pair of assists and Jason Kearney made a career-high 38 saves as Bentley College beat Army, 4-1, Saturday night at the John A. Ryan Skating Arena. With the win, Bentley took three points from the weekend series and improved to 5-5-2 overall and 3-1-2 in the AHA, while Army fell to 2-8-2 and 0-4-2.
Bentley scored the game's first goal 7:30 into the first period on the power play and with a delayed penalty to be called on Army. Senior Ryan Lessnau chased the puck down in the left corner and fired a cross-ice pass to senior defenseman Brett Murphy at the left point. Murphy hit a one-time slapshot past Brad Roberts for his first goal of the season.
The Falcons doubled the lead just 58 seconds later on senior Ryan Mayhew's first goal of the season. Senior Josh Thompson broke Bentley out on a two-on-one and slipped a pass to Mayhew, who fired a shot by Roberts near post to give Bentley a 2-0 lead.
Midway through the second period, Gumaer netted his first of the night on the power play to put the Falcons up, 3-0. With the puck loose in front of the net, Gumaer reached out and poked it past the sprawling Roberts for his second goal of the season.
Army clawed a goal back less than a minute later on the power play to close the gap to two goals with plenty of time remaining. Freshman defenseman Tim Manthey's shot from the slot was saved by Kearney, but senior forward Seth Beamer collected the rebound and directed a backhanded shot across the frame and inside the far post to put Army on the board.
For the second consecutive night, Army controlled much of the play during the third period; however it was Bentley that would find a third period goal on this occasion. Sophomore Joe Cucci fired a slapshot from the left point following a face-off and Gumaer redirected Cucci's effort past Roberts for his second goal of the night.
Army continued to press, but Kearney was impressive in goal, making 14 third-period saves to keep the Black Knights from finding a way back into the game. The win was the second of Kearney's career, while Roberts made 25 saves in goal for Army.

I'm running a headless Ubuntu server at home, and I'm wondering if there are any good programs for having a website with your files on it. Basically like Twonky, except less awful.
Why don't try the good ownmycloud software? This is a great web interface with public link on file.
First you will need the couple PHP/MySQL installed on your server. Then I suggest to view the page Installation | ownCloud.org to continue the installation.
Once done, you have to configure your router for two things :

Tonido is a good software, it can be installed onto any desktop and files can be accessed by a desktop end or droid end program that links it to the main computer. You do not need a server for it to work, just a desktop. Its native enviornment is windows sadly enough, though I have it running under Ubuntu 13.10 just fine with wine installed.

When you write something like 'Adam Manning fondles nurses breasts on way to delivery room, misses son's birth' you expect there to be a punchline coming. Unfortunately, there's not. That is what happened in Ogden, Utah over the weekend when Manning brought his wife or girlfriend into the hospital to deliver his baby.
Adam Jay Manning, 30-years-old, of Bountiful, Utah brought a pregnant woman who was in labor to the hospital. It's not clear whether the woman is his wife or girlfriend, but she was about to deliver Manning's first child. The couple arrived at McKay-Dee Hospital around 3 a.m. on the morning of October 9, 2009.
The woman was put into a wheelchair and a nurse came out to assist her. When the nurse arrived, it is reported that Manning 'looked her up and down' and commented on her how attractive she was. He told her she was 'cute'. The nurse ignored him and moved to the other side of the wheelchair, preparing the woman in labor to go to the delivery room. Manning then told the nurse that she had something wrong with her neck and that he was massage it for her. He reached up to do that and then reached around and grabbed and groped the nurses breasts.
Apparently the nurse breasts fondling happened twice and the nurse asked him what he was doing. But when she did, his wife or girlfriend responded that he was 'just drunk'. If he was 'just drunk' and it's discovered that he drove his wife/girlfriend to the hospital, he may have a driving while intoxicated charge added to the charges he's already facing.
The Ogden Police were called and promptly book the nurse breast groper into the Weber County jail on charges of felony forcible sexual abuse.
He missed the birth of his baby.
Manning has a bit of a history of law breaking. In February 2008 he pleaded guilty to shoplifting and was sentenced to a year on probation and classes at New Horizons, a mental health and substance abuse treatment center. In June 2009, he pleaded guilty to a charge of criminal mischief and was sentenced to a year of probation. A warrant was issued for his arrest on September 14, 2009 for violating his probation.
I suspect that the incident of Adam Manning fondling a nurses breasts on the way to the delivery room and missing his son's birth will constitute another violation of his probation. He missed the baby's birth, he might also miss his first birthday.

Video footage of Brent Cross 'smash and grab' robbers in action
11:39 07 November 2012
Motorbike raiders seen snatching watches and jewellery from Fraser Hart
The actions of the 'smash and grab' robbers who targeted a jewellers in Brent Cross Shopping Centre has been captured on dramatic video footage.
The raiders can been seen smashing the windows of Fraser Hart with pickaxes and bats before snatching watches and jewellery believed to be worth up to £2million.
The raid which took place yesterday at 10.15am was carried out in front of shocked shoppers.
The six robbers sped into the centre via the entrance at New Look on three motorbikes before three of the raiders jumped off and carried out the audacious theft.
The trio fled back to their awaiting motorbikes and sped away in the direction of Hendon Central.
The motorbikes were found abandoned approximately 15 minutes later in Mill Hill near to a golf course.
All of the men were wearing dark clothing and crash helmets with the visors down.
Nobody was injured, however an elderly man, a member of the public, was treated for shock at the scene.
According to a witness the gang dropped some of their haul during their escape.
Shopper @damomullen, who was at the Apple store when the robbers struck, tweeted "they drove out of there so fast I doubt anyone had anytime to catch them, apparently they dropped some of the stuff."
He added: "the speed they were doing in the shopping centre was insane, happened fairly quickly."
Another witness who asked not to be named told the Times: "They came in on motorbikes and had pick axes and bats, it was terrifying."
The Met's Flying squad are investigating the robbery.
Detective Chief Inspector Harry Hennigan, who is now leading the hunt, said: "We are appealing to anyone who may have seen the of events at the Brent Cross shopping centre this morning when the jewellers was robbed having only just opened its doors to its first shoppers.
"We are also appealing to anyone who may have seen the three motorbikes being driven from Brent Cross to Mill Hill. We urge anyone with information to call our incident room."
Call the Flying Squad on 020 8358 1751 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
There have been no arrests so far.

When we attempt to imagine how happy we will be in thinking about future events or plans, scientific evidence supports the significant importance of seeking advice from people who have similar backgrounds and experiences.
Dr. Daniel Gilbert has spent much of his career studying the nature of happiness and has explored various mental illusions that are apt to distort our perceptions of enjoyment. He discovered that, without realizing it, we tend to drop or add key details (many that make us happy) when we imagine our happiness, sadness or other assumed state of mind.
Most of the time our mental picture of the future or the past depends on our present—here and now—feelings.
Our current state of mind strongly influences our predictions or memories.
When things really occur, we experience it far differently than before it actually happened according to Gilbert's book "Stumbling on Happiness."
Our emotional "immune system" will twist our view of major mental events to help safeguard us from things like pain or depression. The visual area of our brain gets called into action when we start to imagine something. It begins to paint a mental picture.
Sometimes we may put our hands over our ears when we try to remember a favorite tune. We need that part of the brain for processing sound.
Just like the sound example, the same goes for our sensory imagination. Just as we can't focus on hearing two things at once, we can't use our imagination for two differing events at the same time.
Trying to imagine hunger, when we are very full, or imagining happiness when we are depressed is near impossible.
Dr. Gilbert concludes that we often regret our inactions for more than we do our actions because it is so difficult for our brains to create positive views of our delays and indecisiveness.
According to Dr. Gilbert, the best way to correctly assess our happiness about an event is to get the opinions from others with similar backgrounds and experiences.
If we really want to draw a conclusion, and prediction about the joy we will get from our plans and future events, the difference in bias of happiness is a lot lower than the misrepresentation of our own imagination.

Dedicated internet radio devices have been around for awhile now, but we think the new Logitech Squeezebox Radio ($200, available for pre-order) really strikes the right balance of price and features. It's a kick to listen to our Pandora radio stations or stream from some of our other favorites, like last.fm, NPR and Sirius Internet Radio (among others) without being chained to the computer. It's portable, wireless, and the LCD screen makes it so much easier to navigate through playlists. The Squeezebox also lets you play music from a PC or Mac iTunes library, and it'll even connect to Facebook and Flickr. This is a sweet little gadget that gets out of its own way.

WESTFIELD TWP. — Cloverleaf school officials hope a state fiscal oversight commission soon may consider relinquishing control of the district's finances after voters Tuesday approved a new tax for the first time in eight years.
Cloverleaf officials met Wednesday with the state oversight committee that has handled the district's money since January 2012.
Cloverleaf Superintendent Daryl Kubilus said the oversight committee was pleased by the passage of the combined 0.75 earned income tax and 3.5-mill levy.
"The process now is they will work through the Ohio Auditor's Office to conduct an independent five-year forecast," he said. "By the end of May, they hope to set a timeline for us to exit fiscal emergency."
The district has cut more than $7 million from its budget over the past five years and reduced services and staff.
The district faced a $5.8 million deficit by 2017 without new money, and the commission was demanding yet another $1 million in cuts if the Tuesday's funding request failed.
The proposed cuts, which officials have called "draconian," would have included shortened school days, closing school libraries and the elimination of art, music and physical education from the K-6 curriculum.
But Kubilus said the $1.6 million per year collected from the levy and the additional revenue from the income tax will provide enough funding to convince the commission that Cloverleaf can remain financially sound.
Instead of cuts, the district will restore some services at the start of next school year. Kubilus said they will make good on levy-campaign promises of restoring high school busing; half-day, every-day kindergarten; and opening the schools for public use after hours.
Kubilus said they'll try to restore more services on a yearly basis, depending on the budget.
"The board was very deliberate with regard to potential bring-backs and taking a conserve approach," he said. "We will assess our revenue on a yearly basis and make those decisions that way."
Kubilus said officials want to provide more services for students, but they intend to keep the purse strings tight going forward.
"We are going to remain a fiscally responsible school district," he said. "We will continually asses our business practices and continue to be good stewards of the taxpayers' hard-earned dollars."
The new levy and income tax go into effect Jan. 1 and will run for 10 years.

LOS ANGELES John Zawahri left a note apologizing for killing his father and brother but left no explanation for the rampage that left them and three others dead, police said Thursday.
The three- to four-page note was found on Zawahri's body after he was shot and killed June 7 by officers on the campus of Santa Monica College, Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks said at a news conference.
In the note, Zawahri also said goodbye to friends and expressed hope his mother would be taken care of.
"We know his was a troubled life and that he experienced mental health challenges," Seabrooks said.
Zawahri apparently built his own .223-caliber assault weapon, using it to shoot his father and brother before he set fire to the family home, officials said earlier.
Seabrooks said the semi-automatic weapon appears to have been built with component parts that are legal to obtain, but when assembled make the rifle illegal in California.
She said he also modified an antique black-powder revolver so that it could hold .45-caliber ammunition; it was loaded during the shooting and he carried it with him in a duffel bag.
Separately, an official close to the investigation said the fire, which erupted soon after neighbors heard shots fired, was intentionally set.
Firefighters found the bodies of the father and brother in a bedroom that was uninvolved in the blaze. The house was found unkempt with files and papers scattered throughout, providing ample kindling.
In Zawahri's bedroom, investigators found a drill press among other materials that indicate he likely assembled the weapon.
The drill press could be used to help finish building the rifle by drilling holes in the lower receiver. A lower receiver that is only 80 percent complete can easily be purchased, and because it is not complete, a person isn't required to go through a background check, nor does the part need to have a serial number.
In California such weapons require a "bullet button" kit, which is added to a lower parts kit to make it legal. The kit modifies the weapon so that a separate tool must be used to release an ammunition magazine and reload the gun; without such a modification a person can press a button to release the magazine.
Zawahri was carrying 1,300 rounds of ammunition in magazines that can hold 30 rounds each. While such high-capacity magazines are illegal to purchase, sell or transfer in California, possession is not illegal.

Maria Verchenova
Moscow, Russia
"I always like to bring something extra special to the golf course, so if I'm wearing sexier, more stylish stuff like a shorter skirt or a nice tennis-style dress and people notice then great."
- Maria Verchenova
Currently one of only three Russian female golfers on the professional circuit, Maria Verchenova became the first ever Russian player to join the Ladies European Tour (LET) as a full-time member in 2007. In 2008, she earned her first top 5 finish, and also went up against golfing sensation Annika Sorenstam during Sorenstam's final pro tournament at the Dubai Ladies Masters.
Maria Verchenova BiographyMaria Verchenova was born in Moscow, Russia, on March 27, 1986. She was introduced to golf at the age of 12 while accompanying her father on a trip to the Czech Republic. During their stay there, the Verchenovas stopped by a local golf club to have a coffee and decided to return the following day to let Maria have a little fun hitting some balls. A coach at the club commented that the 12 year old showed some skill as a golfer, and suggested that she take up the sport on her return to Moscow.
maria verchenova earns amateur titlesEven though Russia had no support programs for young golfers as it does for tennis or hockey players, Maria Verchenova grew determined to follow her newfound love for the sport, and began practicing her puts and swings at Moscow City Golf Club. Despite lacking any proper organized backing, at the age of 18 she won the 2004 Russian Amateur Championship. She entered Moscow State University of Sport around this time, and in 2005 picked up a few more non-professional titles at the Austrian, Latvian and Slovenian Amateur Championships.
Following her second Russian Amateur victory in 2006, Maria Verchenova tried for a second time to secure a Ladies European Tour card. She had attempted to earn her credentials at the L.E.T. Qualifying School the previous year, but failed to advance through the final stage. The second time proved a charm, and the 20-year-old triumphantly turned pro on December 1, 2006.
maria verchenova joins the pro circuitHer first year on the ladies pro circuit proved a bit of a challenge for Maria Verchenova, as she struggled to achieve a single top 10 finish at the Wales Championship, and had earned under $18,000 by year's end. Being the only Russian golfer on tour, she also had to deal with feelings of isolation and loneliness, and due to her less-than-stellar performance on the circuit, she had to return to the Qualifying School in order to hold on to her L.E.T. card.
Maria Verchenova reemerged in 2008 with a new coach, Mike Walters, and managed to finish fifth at the Tenerife Open that June. The following month, she qualified for her first major competition, the Women's British Open, and rounded out her breakthrough year by competing at the Dubai Ladies Masters in the United Arab Emirates in December. In March 2009, she finished 35th at the Honda LPGA in Thailand, and later tied for 41st place at the Deutsche Bank Ladies' Swiss Open in May. Not great, but she makes it look oh-so good.

Mixing cars with fashion has been done before. The Fiat 500 by Gucci, the Mini Cooper by Kenneth Cole and the Range Rover Evoque Victoria Beckham Edition are just some of those we've seen in the past. Now Chrysler has added to the growing list with the Chrysler 300C John Varvatos Limited Edition.
If you're not really into fashion, John Varvatos is known for men's high fashion. So far we've only had these teaser style shots that present the urban mood the manufacturer is always looking for with the 300C. Unfortunately they're too dark to tell us much about the new machine. What we can see is the Phantom Black paintwork and titanium trim, the Chrysler and John Varvatos badges and the dual exhausts at the rear. The front end looks like it's borrowed from the SRT8's parts bin as there are larger air intakes and a more pronounced spoiler. The 20 inch alloys also help the urban feel and the tinted rear lights complete the look.
Inside you'll find Nappa leather on the seats which actually have metallic flakes embedded into the hide. The designer's logo is embossed into the backrests of the front seats and the instrument panels have been redesigned to resemble the designer's watch faces.
Chrysler 300C John Varvatos Limited Edition
With the manufacturer's 3.6 litre Pentastar V-6 and their eight-speed automatic transmission as standard, this is a quick machine. But if you want a bit more than a standard John Varvatos Limited Edition, you can opt for a 5.7 litre Hemi V-8.

A recap of Wednesday night's open of AFI Docs with Alex Gibney's "Zero Days" and highlights of what's to come.
"The Grey" is an unrelenting demonstration that wolves have no opinion. When they attack, it's not personal. They've spent untold millennia learning how to survive, naked and without weapons, in fearsome places like the Arctic Circle in the dead of winter. They aren't precisely unarmed; they have their teeth and claws, but how far would that get us, even if we had rifles?
In the movie, a group of oil company workers get the opportunity to answer that question. They're workers at a pumping station in the far north, described in the opening narration by Ottway (Liam Neeson) as a sort of prototype for hell, occupied by "men unfit for mankind." They have the kinds of jobs you might take if you were desperate for the good pay, or perhaps driven to seek a place far from society where it is assumed that when you are not working, you are sleeping or drinking. The bar no doubt has cheap prices, and is crowded during an early scene that establishes Ottway and some other characters.
He is a marksman for the oil company. His job is to shoot wolves. When I learned of Sarah Palin hunting wolves from a helicopter, my sensibilities were tested, but after this film, I was prepared to call in more helicopters. I was also stunned with despair. It so happened that there were two movies scheduled that day in the Lake Street Screening Room (where we local critics see many new releases). After "The Grey" was over, I watched the second film for 30 minutes and then got up and walked out of the theater. It was the first time I've ever walked out of a film because of the previous film. The way I was feeling in my gut, it just wouldn't have been fair to the next film.
Ottway and a small planeload of other workers fly out on leave, on board a small airplane that crashes and strands them they know not where. Most are killed or die quickly. Seven are left alive. They hope they'll be found by rescuers, but Alaska is a big place, and their plane is small and rapidly being covered with snow. And then one of them walks a few steps away to take a leak and is struck by ravenous wolves.
Ottway is more experienced than the others and takes charge. He says their only chance is to walk below the tree line. It seems to me that wolves would be perfectly happy to hunt you among the trees, but I still think I'd listen to Ottway.
They set off in bitter cold, slogging through snow, eating a little food from the plane, starting fires at night, intensely aware that they have attracted a large following of wolves. They use torches and a ring of smaller outlying fires to keep the animals at bay. In the darkness, the wolves' eyes reflect the firelight in unblinking, hungry stares.
There's time for some conversation among the men, and this film, directed by Joe Carnahan and written by him and Ian Mackenzie Jeffers, treats them as individuals. They're not simply a group of victims. We learn the most about Ottway, who was on the brink of suicide on the day before the flight. Now that his life has become precarious, he fiercely clings to it.
"The Grey" advances with pitiless logic. There are more wolves than men. The men have weapons, the wolves have patience, the weather is punishing. I sat regarding the screen with mounting dread. The movie had to have a happy ending, didn't it? If not "happy," then at least a relief in some sense? Sit through the entire credits. There's one more shot still to come. Not that you wouldn't be content without it.

Once you know how to make chili powder you'll soon be rustling up your own concoctions in just minutes. And the beauty of it is you get to choose the heat that you prefer. Like it mild? Use mild peppers. Prefer it hotter? Hot, fiery chilis are called for. For this recipe I used birds eye peppers which are certainly fiery! (See the bottom of the page for links to more of my recipes)
Note: When making chili spices, I tend to use whole spices where I can. However, you may not have them all. If not, simply use pre-ground powders instead and cut down on the amounts the recipe says by half. So, if it says 2 tablespoons cumin seeds you use 1 tablespoon of cumin powder and stir in with any other powders.
What You'll Need: (makes about 5-6 tablespoons)
Half a cup of dried peppers (hot or mild)
OR 6 tbsp chili flakes
2 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp black peppercorns
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp cloves
tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon
Store out of direct sunlight in an airtight jar. Use within 3 months.
Note: If you really want to make your chili powder stand out, you could dry toast the whole ingredients before grinding. This is easy to do and recommended. Click to read more about this. (Link opens in new window)

Binary Colloidal Alloy Test Low Gravity Phase Kinetics-1-Product Shelf Life (BCAT-KP1-Shelf Life) - 01.20.16
Binary Colloidal Alloy Test - Kinetics Platform-Shelf Life (BCAT-KP-1-Shelf Life) enables industrial scientists to investigate the physics of colloid phase changes in microgravity. Colloids are suspensions of small particles evenly distributed throughout a solution, and examples range from detergent to milk and are greatly affected by gravity on Earth. A greater understanding of colloid kinetics could lead to products with longer shelf lives, benefiting consumers and industries on Earth. Science Results for Everyone

Experiment Description
Research Overview
- This application describes the development and deployment of a colloidal investigation platform, the Binary Colloidal Alloy Test Low Gravity Phase Kinetics Platform (BCAT-KP). The applicants identify characterization of phase kinetics for emulsions in a low gravity environment as a major application area, citing the low gravity environment as an idealized condition in which to examine attractive colloidal systems for optimal product shelf life. The application described a device with 10 sample chambers that allows parametric studies of variations in particle size and functionalization in generating phase maps. Specific solvent mixtures to allow buoyant matrix, similar to those corresponding to ground studies, are utilized along with non-buoyancy-matching solvents to greatly expand the knowledgebase of phase transitions in colloids. Mixtures are photgraphed using fluorescence and a Nikon digital camera currently mounted in WORF. Alternate imaging modalities are not explored.
- The formation of ordered phases in colloidal suspensions is profoundly affected by gravity via sedimentation processes. Chaikin and Russel demonstrated this effect in space experiments; their experiments explored the simplest of all entropic transitions, the hard-sphere liquid-solid phase transition. There are many ways to understand the reasons for the difficulties posed by gravity. Sedimentation causes particles to fall so rapidly that there is insufficient time for particles to explore the full phase space of positions and velocities that are required for thermodynamic assembly processes. In a different vein, a substantial particle concentration gradient arises in the earthbound sample. In the given samples the gravitational height, h = kT/ΔρVg, ranges from a few microns for the case of polystyrene in water to a fraction of a micron for some of the other particles considered. Here k is the Boltzmann constant, T is temperature, Δρ is the density difference between the particles and the background fluid, V is the particle volume, and g is the gravitational acceleration on the Earth's surface. This height is typically much smaller than the sample size. In addition, the shear forces of fluid flow, due to the sedimentation of particles, are often sufficient to breakup crystals that are forming thermodynamically not allowing the scaling and understanding to a wider variety of compositions.
- One reason Procter and Gamble is involved in this proposal is their interest in understanding phase separation kinetics of colloids, which is masked by gravity on Earth. The small blobs that form and grow in microgravity, instead of the simple top and bottom phase seen on Earth, allow the kinetics of this process to be recorded in microgravity. The scientific findings allow one to believe that additional results from having this data available can, and likely will, lead to more efficient/improved product formulations which are less expensive to produce and/or provide longer shelf life. For a product like Downy, which sells about $4B worth of product a year, even a small 1% savings in production costs or allowing a longer shelf life provides a significant return on the investment. P&G, which is represented by one of the research scientists on this proposal, will spend $10M this year on research to address product shelf life problems. The results of this work can impact far more than fabric softener.
- The other colloidal samples described have similar potential but have a more long-range commercialization potential through development of new suspension materials and their Intellectual Property protection. Their material formulations and suspension intellectual property have resulted in several patents, and could lead to new companies and license revenues for their organizations. The opportunity to establish new models and formulations through low gravity investigations cannot be replicated or achieved on Earth and provide unique commercialization potential to these inventor/investigators and their organizations.
The BCAT-KP investigation and SGM series objectives are to provide a macro colloidal phase kinetic platform allowing fast turnaround for colloidal investigations to examine equilibrium conditions that result in colloidal crystallization, melting and self-organization. This BCAT-KP provides colloidal investigators recurring opportunities for each 3 month ISS Increment giving the U.S. its first fast turnaround physical science platform offered through CASIS. These colloidal systems and the ability to support a series of multiple samples allows for parametric investigation of colloidal suspension structures enabling characterization of phase maps that cannot be produced on Earth at size scales of commercial and scientific interest. The equilibrium state and progression toward that are different for different types of samples. Phase separation samples may ultimately evolve into two distinct phases. While this happens quickly on Earth, the gradual evolution to this state in microgravity is especially important when it comes to understanding and designing new emulsions for longer product shelf life or for new material development, this coarsening behavior and the rate of coarsening of attractive colloid systems is of special interest providing valuable data to design new material emulsions.
For the proposed phase separation samples, the objective is to measure phase separation rates in microgravity (u-g) to develop an underlying theory for predicting product shelf life (P & G) and for colloidal material engineering having scientific and commercial interest. The first set of samples investigate colloidal collapse [irreversible separation] which occurs on Earth and must be mitigated with expensive particle additives. The solution to this problem is a series of non-optimal trades between more particles to jam system (expensive) versus greater attraction properties to gel system having undesired rheological properties. Researchers intend to photograph initially randomized colloid samples to determine their resulting structure over time. Theory tells that one can adjust the rate of phase separation by changing the amount of polymer in the solution of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) spheres. Doing this adjusts the depletion attraction force between particles. This gives a window into the underlying physics that is not open on Earth where only a top and bottom phase is visible. The results are of particular relevance to product manufacture and production designs for the pharmaceutical, food and cleaning industries (in terms of shelf life and mechanical and thermodynamic properties).

Space Applications
Binary Colloid Alloy Test (BCAT) investigation helps scientists characterize the underlying physics of colloidal materials, including how particles clump and sink inside a liquid. Colloidal mixtures form small blobs in microgravity, rather than the clear distinction between top and bottom that occurs in the presence of gravity on Earth. Examining how these clumps form and grow can provide unique insight into the physics of this process. The BCAT hardware has potential for commercial use in space, and the investigation also lays a foundation for research in nanotechnology and nano-mechanical systems in microgravity.
Earth Applications
Understanding the physics of colloidal materials, including how they separate into distinct layers, can help scientists develop more stable colloidal mixtures that have longer shelf lives. But the kinetics of this process are masked by gravity on Earth, making it difficult to study even with powerful computer simulations. The BCAT investigations allow scientists to monitor colloidal materials' behavior over time, which will shed light on the physics involved as well as provide data to improve computer models. Ultimately, improved colloidal materials may last longer and cost less to produce, which will benefit a wide range of consumers and industries.
Operational Requirements
BCAT consists of a set of ten small samples of colloidal particles. The BCAT samples are each contained within a small case the size of a school textbook. The experiment requires a crew member to set up the experiment using a handrail/seat track configuration, ISS Laptop and the Kodak 760 or Nikon D2Sx camera to take digital photographs of the samples at close range. The pictures are down-linked to investigators on the ground for analysis.
The current plan for this experiment is to conduct it over a 7 or 14-day session, each of which can be run incrementally and require a minimum amount of crew time due to powering the digital camera with the new AC power available through the inverter to be available in 2012; a third session to mix and photograph all 10 samples and then a fourth session, prior to the increment completion and bringing the samples down for the next increment set of hardware, to photograph all ten samples which is slotted to take a minimal amount of crew time. As such, new information will undoubtedly be learned, and the nature of the experiments conducted will evolve to take advantage of this new information.
Operational Protocols
Session 1: Set up hardware, take baseline photos of all ten samples; homogenize samples 6-10 then samples 9 and 10, then automatically photograph sample 1 (using EarthKAM software on laptop) every hour for 7 days. Perform sample 1 daily status check each day. After seven-day run, perform crystal search/photography on 6-10. Homogenize sample 2, automatically photograph sample 2 (using EarthKAM software on laptop) every hour for 7 days. Perform sample 1 daily status check each day. After seven-day run, perform crystal search/photography on 6-10. If necessary, tear down after operations are complete but keeping setup intact is preferred to save crew time.
Session 2: Set up hardware, homogenize samples 3, 4 and 5 one at a time then automatically photograph each sample (using EarthKAM software on laptop) every hour for 14 days each. Perform Crystal Check and Photography procedures on 6-10 if crystals not found/photographed in Session 1. If necessary, tear down after operations are complete but keeping setup intact is preferred to save crew time.
Session 3: Homogenize and photograph samples 1-10 (using EarthKAM software on laptop) and stow sample module for six months. The experiment is torn down after operations are complete.
Session 4: At the end of increment after homogenization, manually photograph samples 1 through 10. Re-stow sample module and tear down after operations are complete^ back to top

J. Lohr Carol's Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2009
Sauvignon Blanc from Central Coast, California
Winemaker's Notes
J. Lohr Carol's Vineyard 2009 Sauvignon Blanc is a pale, youthful, straw yellow color with a complex aroma of grapefruit, dried flowers, gun flint and faint herbaceous freshness. On the palate, the wine has excellent weight and bright acidity with clean fruit flavors reminiscent of the aromas. Serve at 45 to 50 degrees.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Nice and dry, with a crisp cut of acidity that gets those tastebuds whistling. If you like gooseberries, it's for you, although there are far richer tropical fruit flavors in this lively wine. The vineyard is in St. Helena"
J. Lohr Winery
Founded more than three decades ago by Jerry Lohr, J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines crafts an array of acclaimed wines from estate grapes. Still guided by Jerry today, this pioneering estate vineyard program is comprised of almost 3,000 acres of vines in Monterey County, Paso Robles and Napa Valley. From this palette of world-class fruit, J. Lohr handcrafts three tiers of award-winning wines – J. Lohr Estates, J. Lohr Vineyard Series and J. Lohr Cuvée Series. In addition to its signature brands, J. Lohr offers numerous flavorful wines under the Cypress Vineyards, ARIEL (non-alcoholic) and Painter Bridge labels. View all J. Lohr Winery Wines
About Central CoastView a map of Central Coast wineries
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable FactsGrape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Incompatible Partners, Unusual Requests & More
unusual requestMy husband has a fetish which I find embarassing: he wants to watch me urinate. While I understand his penchant for stockings and suspenders, I find this fantasy very disturbing, and would like to know the reasons behind it. This is really becoming a problem for me, and I am running short of excuses as to why not to do it for him. Please help!
Dear Leslie,
While you may not understand your husband's fetish, there is really no need to try to unearth the psychological motivations behind it. Many people have fetishes and fantasies, ranging from the tame to what many would consider to be disturbing. As long as this fetish does not become an unhealthy obsession of your husband's, there is no real cause for alarm.
I am assuming that since you married this man, you know and trust him, and can simply tell him that you don't feel comfortable indulging this particular fantasy. But make sure that you come through on another one that you feel is more acceptable.
Donald Zimmer
lasting longerEarly into foreplay, a few minutes from the start of my erection, a small amount of clear liquid comes out of my penis. Is this just pre-ejaculate? This "leaking" also happens when I masturbate. Furthermore, I often ejaculate very quickly, especially when am very sexually aroused. How can I last longer?
Dear Art,
To answer your first question, yes, the clear liquid you described is just pre-ejaculate. As for your second query, about how to last longer, I have a couple of suggestions.
First of all, try to relax; after all, your woman is not going anywhere. I know that this sounds counter-intuitive, but you can try stopping all sexual activity when the urge to ejaculate comes on, and resuming only after it has subsided. You can also try alternating positions, and discovering which ones allow you to last a little longer, and which ones cause you to orgasm very quickly.
Donald Zimmer
what's that smell?I would like to know what I can do to fix the foul smell coming from my penis.
Dear Jack,
The first thing you should do is shower at least once per day, using a mild anti-bacterial soap. Make sure to thoroughly cleanse your penis and surrounding area. Never wear underwear for more than one day, and wash them with an effective detergent. You should also stick to loose-fitting, cotton boxers, to let the area breathe.

In defense of an "annoying" profession . . . with knickers in a decided twist
Dave Kindred | Aug. 13, 2010 12:30 p.m.
"Let's say you've just finished a brutal day at work. You come out of your cubicle and are immediately met by someone asking you questions about how and why you failed. This person doesn't put in your hours and isn't nearly as informed about your job as you are, but he gets paid to question you every day inside the TV, the radio, the newspaper. And, armed with the day's results, he always gets to look right about how you do your job without taking your risks or suffering your consequences. That's the questioner's job — to question you. How annoying do you think that would get?"
Le Batard's analogy is to locker room interviews. He wants readers to understand how athletes are abused by callous know-nothings who somehow have obtained media credentials. The analogy fails for many reasons, the first being that it is built on a false premise. The athletes are seldom abused. I have been in lots of locker rooms and have heard lots of questions asked of lots of athletes. Mostly, because these are kids' games played as entertainment for the paying public, sports journalists lob softballs. When the news demands hard questions, I'd say that 99.4 percent of those questions are asked respectfully, usually hesitantly, and with trepidation born of the knowledge that testosterone-propelled athletes often favor physical retribution over rhetorical debate.
The analogy fails as well because it ignores the truth that professional athletes are paid for answering questions; if not paid directly, certainly indirectly by contract as representative of a sports franchise that depends on the public's goodwill. Look, if The New York Times wants to pay me a few million dollars – I'd settle for one million – I'll stand by my typing machine all day and take hostile questions about what I was thinking when I used that semicolon and why, with deadline looming, I indulged my annoying habit of dropping asides between dashes.
After his annoying start, Le Batard does the unexpected. He gets more annoying. He does that by lifting his money quote from Mark Cuban's blog in which the Mavericks' rapscallion owner wrote, "What I have learned in 11 years in the sports business is that the dumbest guys in the room are always the media guys.'' Then, as if in proof of Cuban's thesis, Le Batard commits an act of vacuity so extraordinary as to make one long for the rigors of superficiality. He cites Allen Iverson, Barry Bonds, Terrell Owens, and Jose Canseco as athletes who have been punished for Keeping It Real.
"The guys who dare do it loudest" – here he named those masters of self-absorption – "become unpopular and tend to get run out of their sports as they age and tire of the fight."
Oh, please. Popularity is for junior high. Sports is the ultimate meritocracy; if you can play, someone will pay you. With the exception of Owens, who's still in uniform, those guys just lost game.
A hundred years ago, someone said, "Kindred's only problem is he likes sportswriters."
What's not to like?
During the PGA Championship's first round, I interviewed a fan in Tiger Woods's gallery. Kevin Leissring is a student at the University of Tampa, 21 years old, cigar in hand, handsome behind a scruffy beard and sunglasses. He touched the media armband that gave me access to most places at Whistling Straits.
"How do I get inside the ropes?" Leissring said.
"Type for a long time," I said.
Too glib by half, that was. But true. Covering a major golf championship is work at a high level of sports journalism. None of the men and women here for newspapers, magazines, websites, television, radio, blogs – none arrived by being the lazy, ignorant, hypocritical incompetents of Le Batard's broadbrush insult. For that matter, Le Batard is the antithesis of the stereotype he created in the unfortunate column in question here. Edwin Pope, forever the Herald's star in sports, long ago told me that Le Batard earned his column by being "bright as hell," ambitious, competitive, creative, "and working like a dog."
What's not to like about a guy like that?
What's not to like about Sally Jenkins? The best sports columnist at the Washington Post, she's at Whistling Straits traipsing up and down steep sand dunes in pursuit of Tiger. I once asked her father, Dan, what made her so good.
"She's married to the craft," he said.
All the good ones are.
The full measure of Le Batard's mistake is obvious in even cursory thought about this sentence: "If you consume sports media, you know the best-and-brightest don't go into my profession. They become doctors, lawyers, scientists, owners, whatever. Sports tends to be the place where people go to rest their minds from heavy lifting and . . ."
As if we're nothing more than the toy department . . .
As if we're incapable of really important thought . . .
As if there aren't idiots aplenty filing lawsuits, defrauding Medicare, and paying Dirk Nowitzki $80 million to keep on not winning anything . . .
Le Batard does quote Mark Cuban's one good point, that homework is essential: "Preparation. Having some journalistic and quality standards. I can't remember the last time I had a sports interview where I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of questioning and knowledge of the interviewer. When something has to be written/taped quickly about the day's/week's events, media has no choice but to talk out of their [rear ends] because having an uninformed opinion and winging it is always better than choosing not to participate. Being left out means you probably lose your job. Worse still, media lives off the brands they built for themselves in the pre-blog/Twitter/Facebook era. If you were a good reporter in 2002, fans probably think you still are, and treat your opinions as facts.''
The Le Batard column also provided one good laugh, albeit inadvertently. Isiah Thomas was quoted saying that Bill Russell, Jim Brown, and Muhammad Ali –"thoughtful, articulate, fighting for rights" – couldn't survive in today's media. "They'd get chewed up."
Not a chance in hell of that.

Our eyes are brilliantly adaptable. They process information in a way that a camera cannot, incessantly streaming data and reorganizing what is in front of us. Never able to separate us from our experience of the present, they view the world, but they cannot record it. Our eyes cannot abstract the world.
The camera works in a different way. It can record time abstractly, not as a fraction of a second or as a series of constant electrical impulses, but in a single image. The camera can overlay the passage of time onto film, which is inert to intervene. These photographs describe planes leaving Heathrow airports' southern runway to the west, recording their wing and tail lights as they curve away on their chosen path into the night sky. The titles refer to the destination of each plane. Each negative has been exposed for between three and twenty five minutes.

My Brain Hurts...
My brain hurts... Wordsmithing can do that to you! I have been working on an ad (for my portrait art) to be published in The American Airedale. I have lingered on tweaking a few individual words in my copy for a couple of hours now. The design is done, with the images placed to my satisfaction, so now I have been substituting words repeatedly and weighing each of their meanings. It's rather like a little poem, so it is a delicate operation. All this effort for three lines of copy. I'd probably stroke out if I ever tried to to write a novel!
