Did you know you can remove anxiety over food from your child's life while giving them security and a sense of control all from within your own backyard? Children today often find themselves in need of healthy food or even go hungry because of a lack thereof. Growing and raising food is a priceless gift you can give your child that will be explained in detail in this list. It's easier and more diverse than you may think. No child should be anxious over where his next meal will come from or have to go to bed hungry even though his parents are doing the best they can. Best of all, this is something you, the stay-at-home parent, can do with your children that will make memories and is a heritage they will thank you for in years to come. Find out how fun raising your own food with your children can be.
Show your kids where food comes from
A child should never go hungry, but let's face it, today's economy is putting the squeeze on even middle class families. Then there is the issue of quality of food. There are food deserts in developed communities where no fresh food is available, creating health issues for the residents. If you own a yard or even a pot you can grow your own food, and this is a vital security that children need in order to be all they can be in school and in life.
There are so many things to be insecure about in today's economy, but food security shouldn't be a worry on any child's mind. By simply showing your kids where and how their food ends up on the table, you can relieve a lot of anxiety. This will require you to actually plant a garden somewhere in your yard or to at least incorporate vegetables in the flower bed. It is vital that children are taught that they have some control over the food they eat and control over having access to it.
For children, just knowing there is food in the backyard can take away the worry that they will go hungry. The act of planting a garden with your kids can give them a priceless skill that will carry them through their entire lives. If you have a few square feet or a field, it is important to show kids where their food comes from and get them involved from planting to table. The rewards are numerous. Not only will they enjoy better health, but they will also develop a taste for good food.
Do you think your kids won't like the fresh foods you grow? Just get them involved and watch their love for it explode. Begin with foods they like or might like. If your child likes sweet things, think about growing some strawberries, grapes or carrots. If they like lettuce or onions on their hamburger, grow a salad garden. Be sure to try something new like collard greens which can't be done wrong and enjoy fresh greens from Spring until frost. Perhaps your child loves spicy food. Be sure to grow some hot peppers and garlic or even some chives which come back every year and flower. If ketchup and fries are more their style, grow some potatoes and tomatoes. The options are endless, and you will find that once a child gets used to the fresh options a garden provides, they will be encouraging you to grow things.
Incorporate backyard farm animals
There is a growing trend for everyone from city dwellers to the suburbs to incorporate a few chickens, goats or even a pig to offset the high prices of food. Of course, you don't have to become a butcher in order to do this successfully, yet the rewards are tremendous.
Are you tired of fluctuating egg prices or the thought of what commercial egg growers feed their chickens and the conditions in which they grow them? Now you can both give your children a few pets to take care of as well as fresh eggs that are healthy and right in the back yard. No matter what happens at the grocery stores, your kids will know they can eat eggs even if money gets too tight to secure food at the supermarket. This gives any child a sense of security that they will eat no matter what.
Chickens are very easy to maintain as long as you provide them some shelter and a little room to peck around and forage. You will need to buy layer feed to keep the hens laying eggs, as well as some grit and either ground up eggshells or oyster shell supplement to keep their egg shells strong. They'll eat weeds, bugs and grass too. A rooster is not needed to get eggs from your hens, but these eggs will never hatch. This is the same type of egg you get from the supermarket. Provide adequate water, but never try to bathe a chicken or make it swim. They are much different than ducks and will drown. Chickens give themselves dust baths and will use the litter if no other sources of dust are available. If you use the deep litter system, your chickens will stir it up all the time and keep it clean on top. You only have to change it 3-4 times a year. If you are worried about bugs or mites in the litter, be sure and scatter a little diatomaceous earth, or DE. You can purchase all of these items at a farmers market or even online. Be sure to check with the laws where you live to be aware of any limits on how many chickens you can have.
Goats are often kept for milk and to make homemade cheese. Be aware that goats will eat nearly anything. If you have a lot filled with honeysuckle or some other pesky weed, you may like to let a few goats help you clear the land, and if the female goat is about to wean a baby you can continue to take the milk by milking her yourself. Goats are not for everybody, but many love the freedom a goat brings regarding food. You can also eat goat meat if you wish after she no longer is able to reproduce. That is a personal preference.
A pig might be to your taste. They don't have to be a muddy mess, but they do like it. Get a few piglets in the Spring, and by fall they are ready to eat. Inexpensive bacon as well as organic meat if you wish can fill your freezer for just a little feed and some room. You and your kids will have a ball enjoying the little guys, but be ready to part with them as soon as they can be butchered. Again, you probably need a bit more room for pigs unless you just have one.
Ducks are also a great source of very large eggs, but they do require a source of water to bathe in and keep their nostrils clear of feed and other congesting things. A duck can live without a bath, but she will be a very unhappy duck and will have a hard time breathing from time to time. They make a bigger 'poopy' mess than chickens. Just think of chickens as dry and ducks as wet. They require nearly the same feed, but cannot process medicated feed.
The options of farm animals in your backyard are probably endless, but these are the most practical. Give one or two a try and watch your children's confidence grow, as well as their sense of well being when money is tight. They will always know there is food in the back yard and will help you gather eggs, and between the animals and your kids you are sure to have plenty of entertainment.
Make harvest time an education
So you planted a bunch of food bearing plants and now it's time to harvest. Now what? Get the kids all fired up about weighing the loot. You will be amazed at the excitement that you can generate when it's time to dig up the potato patch. Have the older children dig and the younger go behind and fetch the loot; just be sure to keep safety in mind. Keep little hands away from the pitchfork.
Whether you harvest one basket or fourteen, be sure to take the pride pics of your kids and you with your harvest. Next year when the lazies kick in or their ages change and they want to run with their friends, just pull out the pics and display them prominently as the season nears. Open a few jars of last years bounty and have a trip down memory lane as a reminder of all the fun spent together growing food. Make every stage of growing the garden an event to be looked forward to. Once the satisfaction of holding that first harvest in your hands and making that first meal gets into their bones, not only will you and your children feel a feeling of accomplishment, but the sense of security it provides is something you will never want to be without again. No need to worry what you'll have for dinner, just check the garden pantry or freezer for food you can count on.
Be sure to have someone count and record the tallies. Even a few ounces or a bunch of herbs warrants a space on the record. This will help encourage the kids and give you valuable information that will help you grow even more food next year. If no one liked the mustard greens, give that spot to something else next time. There is no right or wrong in gardening, just provide healthy soil, water and food and you'll have yourself a harvest.
The fun is in the eating
Eating is the ultimate goal. Worrying where dinner will come from tonight will be a thing of the past, and instead the only thing you'll have to worry about is how to use up all that delicious basil or that basket of tomatoes. Again, let the kids help think of what to make with the harvest. Pizza is a great meal to make that will allow you to incorporate all those delicious fresh items from the garden. It literally can be from garden to table when you make pizza.
One of the most rewarding things you can do with a surplus of food from the garden is show some charity. Give a box of fresh food to a family who is having a hard time in the economy as well. Showing your kids the joy of sharing is always a beautiful thing. Take grandma a basket of those heirloom tomatoes she used to grow in her youth and watch her face light up with that first taste.
Another thing you can do is have a party and rejoice over the harvest. Did you harvest a boatload of watermelons? Have a backyard party and see who can spit the seeds the fastest. Save those heirloom seeds, and after chilling them for a while they will be ready to sow next year.
From sowing, to caring for, to harvesting, to canning, to saving seeds, to sharing with family, neighbors and friends, the joys of gardening and the security of it will have your children focusing on success instead of worrying over the lack of food. No child should have to worry about going hungry or not having healthy choices. You can feel great knowing you have given your children a priceless heritage of knowledge and experience that will possibly save their lives. No matter what the economy looks like your children will eat, and eat well because you took the time to garden and have them involved every step of the way.

Tiger Woods Has Inflamed Neck Joint
[picappgallerysingle id="8755071″]ORLANDO, Fla. May 12 — An MRI exam of Tiger Woods' neck has revealed an inflamed joint, as Woods reported in a prayer conference Wednesday.
Woods went on to say that the pain he's been experiencing in his neck has caused him to withdraw from several tournaments, including last week's Players Championship tournament event.
It is no coincidence that this pain has afflicted Woods right after we find out that he has cheated on his beautiful wife, Elin Nordgren, and their two children. Tiger Woods betrayed God and America by betraying our trust in him as a quality athlete and role model for children.
Tiger revealed that he cannot turn his head. It remains unclear if there is anything that can be done about this injury.

American Malacological Society meeting coming up
The annual meeting of the American Malacological Society will be held in Pittsburgh, PA from Saturday, July 23rd thru Thursday, July 28th, 2011. More information is available here.
The abstracts and the program are available as a pdf file here.
I will be giving not 1, but 2 presentations. The abstracts of my talks are on pages 60 and 61 of the pdf file. I have never given 2 presentations at a meeting before. I have spent the last 3 weeks working on my talks and I am not finished yet.
Both of my talks are based on topics I have written about on this blog on several occasions. One of my talks is about the semi-terrestrial snail Assiminea succinea. I will present an overview of everything I have so far learned about that little snail.
My 2nd talk is in the History of Malacology Symposium. It will bring together my ideas concerning 3 different subjects: the snail research of Richard Thomas Lowe (1802-1874), mosaic evolution and Hasok Chang's proposal of the practicing of the history of science as a "complementary science" to contribute to the advancement of present day science. Hopefully, my attempted synthesis will make sense.

t-break wants to answer the question of "Which budget video card should I buy?" So head on over and check out their Budget Video Card Comparison. here's a snip:
"Just one year ago an 800MHz CPU with a 64MB graphics card was an "over-the-top-of-the-line" system. Today we're looking at the same setup as a "budget" system. Sigh. it's as exciting as it is tiring to keep up with the pace at which hardware is moving. Who'd have imagine that in one years time, we'd have budget graphics cards with 64MB RAM, TV out and T&L features selling for less than 250 Dirhams (Under US$70)- but that's what we're bringing to you today."

Subaru announced last week that its all-new 2015 Outback would start at $25,745, a price that puts it just about $100 above the starting price of the outgoing model.
That's a tiny increase for an all-new model, but Subaru says it's hoping that the new Outback will increase its sales.
That's not to say that Outback sales have been bad -- not at all. It has lost some sales recently to Subaru's own Forester, which was new last year. Forester sales are up over 50% so far this year, while the (outgoing) Outback's are up a little over 4%.
But for much of its life, the Outback has been Subaru's best-seller in the U.S. -- and the U.S. is Subaru's most important market.
Subaru is the automotive division of Japan's Fuji Heavy Industry (NASDAQOTH:FUJHY). It's a much smaller company than Japanese rivals Toyota and Honda, with a much more limited model range. But the company updates and refreshes that model range exceptionally well, and its endearing, long-lived products have earned it fierce customer loyalty.
Subaru's careful approach to updating its products has worked out very well for Fuji Heavy, and for its shareholders. The stock isn't well known in the U.S., but maybe it should be: Over the past two years, it has risen more than 250%.
Subaru revealed the new Outback at a big event at the New York International Auto Show in April. We were there, and we got a close-up look at the new Outback and spoke to some of the people responsible for it.
We also captured much of the presentation on video to share with you. In the following segment, the first of three parts, you'll hear Subaru's U.S. chief, Tom Doll, talking just before the new Outback was presented to the media. You'll hear him review the Outback's history, how that history has led to the new 2015 version -- and how Subaru has evolved the new Outback while being careful not to mess with its winning formula. Check back Monday night to see Part 2.

The Cats of Copenhagen was first written for James Joyce's most beloved audience, his only grandson, Stephen James Joyce, and sent in a letter dated September 5, 1936. Cats were clearly a common currency between Joyce and his grandson. In early August 1936, Joyce sent Stephen "a little cat filled with sweets"—a kind of Trojan cat meant to outwit grown-ups. A few weeks later, Joyce penned a letter from Copenhagen that begins "Alas! I cannot send you a Copenhagen cat because there are no cats in Copenhagen." The letter reveals the modernist master at his most playful, yet Joyce's Copenhagen has a keen, anti-authoritarian quality that transcends the mere whimsy of a children's story. Only recently rediscovered, this marks the inaugural U.S. publication of The Cats of Copenhagen, a treasure for readers of all ages. A rare addition to Joyce's known body of work, it is a joy to see this exquisite story in print at last.

Wine Details
Winemaker's Notes
(From 2005 Vintage)
Clos du Marquis's grapes actually come from a separate area of vineyards
(rather than younger or less successful vines at Léoville-Las Cases)
surrounded on all sides by other Second Growths. This is made with much more
Merlot (38%) than the Léoville-Las Cases and is very rich, with sweet,
creamy, overripe raspberries and blackberries with leather overtones. It is a
very precise wine within a beautifully integrated framework of new oak and
classy tannins. This is a cracking Claret and one of the best value wines
of the vintage.
Drank 2002 impressive. typical of the region.

Robert Parker(From 2009 Vintage) Rating: 96/100 - As reviewed by Robert Parker on 04/01/2010
Wine & Spirits(From 2005 Vintage) The superb second wine, the 2005 Clos du Marquis, reflects the utter brilliance of the 2005 grand vin. It boasts an inky/ruby/purple color along with a sweet perfume of lead pencil, ripe cherries and black currants, and hints of earth and vanillin. Dense, chewy, fleshy, and full-bodied, this beauty will be drinkable in 3ndash;4 years, and should keep for 15ndash;20.

Ana Egge On Mountain Stage
Ana Egge in Concert on Mountain Stage - 06/10/2009
Set List
- "Bully of New York"
- "Quitting Early"
- "Farmer's Daughter"
- "Fairest of Them All"
- "Swing Low Sweet Chariot"
Singer-songwriter Ana Egge was raised in North Dakota by what she calls "motorcycle-riding hippie farmers." Her song "Farmer's Daughter" was inspired by watching the Loretta Lynn biopic Coal Miner's Daughter, while "Fairest of Them All" describes a sensual, deviant woman. Egge lets her gospel influence shine in "Swing Low Sweet Chariot," accompanying herself on a homemade resonator slide guitar.
Egge started turning heads when she moved to Austin, Texas, at age 19. Ron Sexsmith and Lucinda Williams sang her praises leading up to her 1997 debut album River Under the Road. Now living in Brooklyn, Egge has just released Road to My Love.
Road to My Love producer Jason Mercer, heard later this week with Clarence Bucaro, joins her on bass.
This feature originally ran Jun. 11, 2009.

The Volkswagen Up! based Skoda Citigo is already good for 69 mpg and a CO2 range of between 96 and 105g/km depending on the spec, but if those figures aren't eco-friendly enough for you, maybe the methane-fuelled Skoda Citigo is the car you've been waiting for.
Skoda's city car is equipped with three fuel tanks. Two are for methane and the third holds 10 litres of petrol. Together they'll allow a range of 372 miles from the three-cylinder 1.0 litre 68 hp engine. Technologies like start/stop, regenerative braking and low rolling resistance tyres help to maximise the fuel economy gains produced by the new fuel type.
Both 5 door and 3 door versions will be built and all three current trim levels will be offered. We're not sure how much of the car's generous 251 litres of boot space has been taken up by the extra fuel tanks or whether any compromises have been made inside the cabin to provide space for them, but no matter which fuel powers the Citigo, owners will get a small car that's achieved a five star Euro NCAP safety rating, partly because of its Head-Thorax side airbags, and one that's won awards, including the Auto Express Car of the Year 2012.
We've heard nothing official about the price, but it's expected to be around €12,000, which is £10,000 at the current exchange rate. If so, it would be on par with the range topping five door Skoda Citigo Hatchback 1.0 75 Greentech Elegance.

AMR Flies Again, on the Wings of Analyst Love
Yesterday, shares of AMR were a burning wreck, like the first scene in the first episode of "Lost." Today they're up in the air again, like the first scene in the first episode of the last season of "Lost."
AMR shares are up 21% today, following a 33% plunge yesterday. Delta and other airlines are bouncing back from big declines, too.
There's no magic in this story, though (there wasn't much magic to the last season of "Lost," either, for that matter): Just a couple of analyst notes calling the market's action yesterday overblown.
First came Avondale Partners, which took the bold step of upgrading AMR to "buy" from "hold:"
Press accounts suggesting an imminent Chapter 11 filing have crushed AMR shares. Although AMR Corp may lose $1.06 Billion this year, it should have no trouble meeting its obligations. While its losses may slightly exceed $1 billion, its depreciation should also exceed $1 billion. Thus, cash burn from operations should be minimal.
Separately, American has reported 3Q11 unrestricted cash of $4.2 billion. Additionally, we doubt AMR management would choose bankruptcy to force attractive labor contracts that they could not otherwise negotiate. Management has too proudly and too often touted their success in taking care of their people. At today's prices, even with continuing losses if there is no AMR bankruptcy, simply a more normal overall stock market environment should bring a double or more to today's investor.
Then came J.P. Morgan, which scratched its head over yesterday's market panic, and the attendant pain it caused for other airline shares:
We are unaware of any analysis to support the apparent market view that an AMR bankruptcy is near. Furthermore, we would view a potential filing as an industry (exAMR) positive, making Monday's sympathy sell-off all the more puzzling to us. We remain confident in AMR's Chapter 11 avoidance prospects in the near term, though 2012/2013 liquidity could prove challenging under our conservative (we hope, as we're modeling for recession) base case assumptions.
Why Monday? We are unaware of any analysis or reasonable catalyst for Monday's sell-off in AMR. Granted, October pilot retirements exceeded September's level, though we believe the exodus was driven in large part by the ability of retiring pilots to lock in pre-August equity values as part of their defined contribution plan. Most importantly, early retirements do not cause an immediate draw on company cash, and should not be considered a trigger for bankruptcy, in our view.
But what about that recession issue? Could AMR survive another one of those? J.P. Morgan thinks so. Probably, anyway:
Assuming a mild U.S. recession and $80 oil, we expect AMR to end 2012 with just under $2 billion of unrestricted cash (<10% of LTM rev), at which point things could prove challenging. However, this assumes that AMR can only refinance $565 million of 2012′s $1.9 billion in maturities (along with 80% of aircraft capex), no progress with labor, and that spot jet fuel remains at its current $2.85/gallon (with +/-$0.10 equal to +/-$300 million liquidity variance). Less conservative financing assumptions plus labor concessions and some fuel relief could easily improve year ending liquidity by over $1 billion.

The Economic Freedom Fighters is utterly disgusted by the negligence of the National Council of Provinces Chairperson Thandi Modise' negligence of the farm which was bought with a Government loan. It is despicable and extremely negligent for anyone to leave animals of whichever kind to suffer to the extent that animals at Thandi Modise's animal farm suffered, particularly the extent that animals had to feed of each other's carcasses for survival.
The EFF does not accept the nonsensical explanation given by Thandi Modise and her spokespeople because she simply does not accept that her negligence and recklessness is unjustifiable. In one of the comments concerning this matter, Thandi Modise said, "The suffering that the animals endured does not compare to the financial loss that I suffered".
This is What Thandi Modise said and was not misquoted as claimed by some of her spin doctors.
The EFF is further appalled by the revelation that Thandi Modise's animal farm was bought through a loan from the Land Bank, which she acquired when she was still the Premier of the North West Province. Land Bank is supposed to provide agricultural finance and support to agricultural projects which are being run by agricultural practitioners and particularly small scale farmers.
As a Premier of a province, Thandi Modise should have had the necessary conscious to appreciate that there are many small scale black farmers in the North West who needed the loan from Land Bank than her as the Premier. Of course as a politician and full-time Premier, Thandi Modise did not need the farm, hence she handled its management with the negligence that resulted in animals eating each other's carcasses. But because of greed, and the drive for self-accumulation that defines the political party she comes from, she went ahead to buy a farm with a government loan and neglected the farm afterwards.
Like she conducted herself during the Joint debate of the Post-Elections State of the Nation Address (SONA), Thandi Modise has proven to the people of South Africa that she is a character of bad judgement. The EFF has lost the remaining respect we had for Thandi Modise and will at all times treat her as a despicable person who receives government loans when she is sitting Premier, buys a farm, neglects the farm, and let animals eat each other.
The EFF will write to the Land Bank to ask for an explanation on why a sitting Premier of a Province could be given a loan to buy a farm, when there are many other agricultural practitioners and small scale black farmers who need the funding more than sitting Premiers. We will table this matter for discussion in Parliament because at all times, we should nip in the bud occurrences of what appears to be political patronage and self-enrichment of politicians.


text: Does anyone here have any suggestions about where to look for unpicked kiloware? A quick google search doesn't turn up too much, but I did find http://sdcollectables.co.uk (and their eBay lots) and was considering their world and Scandinavian mixes. Seems fairly pricey, especially since it is in British pounds. Also found http://kilowarestamps.com (Jack & Jill's), but seems even more expensive since you're only paying by the ounce). Anyone have experience with either of these stores or have a suggestion of a good source (for quality and/or price)?Thanks,Clark

According to the 2011 vehicle theft statistics compiled by the CHP, the 1994 Honda Accord was the top theft target among auto thieves in California. When it came to trucks, the 1988 Toyota pickup continued to be a common target and the 2007 Suzuki remained popular among motorcycle thieves.
Location also plays a factor in determining vehicle theft risk. Southern California remains a hotspot for thieves with approximately 52.3 percent of all thefts occurring in the area; Los Angeles County accounted for more than half of that total with 28.2 percent.
Of the vehicles reported stolen last year, 84.9 percent were recovered; however, the economic loss to Californians continues to be approximately $1 billion dollars annually.
"Vehicles play an essential role in the daily routine for many Californians," added Commissioner Farrow. "By working together to deter auto thieves, we can continue to have a positive impact and continue to keep criminals from disrupting our lives."
The following preventative measures may lessen the likelihood that your vehicle will become a target of auto thieves:
• Never leave a spare key with your vehicle
• Store spare keys in a concealed location within your home
• Close all windows and lock all doors
• Park in a well-lit area
• When possible, park your vehicle in your garage
• Do not leave valuables in your vehicle, especially where they can be seen
• Never leave a running vehicle unattended
• Install theft prevention products and recovery systems in your vehicle

I met her when I was five.
She was a little funny-looking, all wrinkled and squashed up, and she cried at the drop of a hat.
But she shared her tea set with me, and let me borrow her baby dolls, and she didn't even mind when I followed her around constantly.
It was love at first sight.
Through the years, my sister and I have shared so many things--a room, toys, pets, clothes. Now, though, we share something intangible that further tightens the bond between us: we are mothers.
Leslie gave birth to her first baby today, Landon James. My mom was always a wreck when I was in labor, and I laughed it off, until today, when my little sister was the one in labor, and I was the wreck. Sweeter words have never been uttered than when my mom called and said, "She's done!"
The fun is just about to begin: now we can commiserate about the soreness that accompanies the first weeks of nursing (not to mention episiotomies!), that middle-of-the-night stupor while nursing a baby with both eyes closed, hoping he'll go back to sleep quickly, wearing pajamas all day until it's time to put on new ones for bed, smelling like spit-up constantly, changing blow-outs (and I don't mean tires), which diaper brand is the best, and whether Baby Bjorn of Snugli makes a better baby carrier.
Mostly, though, we will both now know what it's like to love a little someone so much your heart literally feels like it's going to break. What it's like to cradle someone's face in your hands, wondering at each shadow and nuance and feature. How it feels to know that your every word, action, and decision from here on out will no longer affect only you; that the traditions you keep and habits you set will craft a childhood that will never be forgotten. The absolute heaviness of the responsibility motherhood carries would crush us, if it weren't accompanied by such a sweetness and love that compares to nothing else. I look to the future with not only this sweet nephew of mine, but also with his mother, my sister, and smile, knowing that there are few things more bonding than the common experience of motherhood.
How blessed I am to have met this girl, 25 years ago, and how blessed I am to meet her little boy today. Congratulations, Jeremy and Leslie; this is the first day of an amazing ride!

If you're lucky enough to have a woman frequently or at least occasionally go down on you when you tangle the sheets together, how about learning how to return the favor? Although most men are adept at going down on a woman, there are still those who are not so confident of their skills when heading down south. Some are actually afraid of whatever smell or taste they would encounter down there; others have 'performance anxiety'; while there are those who are simply not familiar with what they need to do when performing cunnilingus. These are precisely the reasons why you need to be knowledgeable when it comes to the steps on how to eat a girl out (how to make her moan with cunnilingus).
What are the Steps on How to Eat a Girl Out (Performing Cunnilingus)?
So what are the steps that you need to familiarize yourself with when learning how to eat a girl out? Take a look at the following list:
Step 1 Familiarize yourself with the parts of the vagina.
Okay, a woman's nether parts may be a bit complex as compared to a man's – which is made up of the shaft, head of the penis and the testicles – but you only need to be familiar with the sexually pleasurable parts.
There's the clitoris which is also called the 'love button' of women, the vaginal opening and the G-spot which is located about a couple of inches up her vaginal opening, pointing towards her belly button. It is these parts that you need to play with if you want to eat a girl out (perform cunnilingus) and have her experience one of the most intense sexual experiences in her life.
Step 2 Tease other parts of her body before hitting your target.
Remember that if it takes about five seconds for a man to reach orgasm whenever he gets stimulation on his penis, but for a woman, it takes about five minutes or even more. If you try performing cunnilingus when she's not properly warmed up, stimulating her vagina might cause her discomfort or pain instead of pleasure. So you do need to engage in a bit of prolonged foreplay by teasing and carressing other parts of her body before heading south.
Step 3 Take your time in eating her out when you're already down there.
Again, one of the most important things that men need to remember is that it takes a bit longer for women to orgasm when oral sex is performed on her as compared to a man. When you have already reached your target, use your tongue, mouth, lips and fingers to make her moan in delight.
All in all, learning how to eat a girl out (how to make her moan with cunnilingus) is all a matter of doing what feels right when you're alrady down there – and being attentive to her needs so that you will know what feels good for her.

Haunted houses, move over; it's all about interactive escape experiences now. Popularized in Asia, these "escape the room" games take the idea of haunted houses to the next level; instead of just passively walking through a scary house, you are the master of your own journey.
This is how it works: you're given an allotted amount of time, and during that small window of time you have to find clues and crack codes in order to escape before time runs out. The idea behind these experiences is to create an atmosphere that mimics the sensation of being inside a video game or horror movie in a safe, secure environment.
Over the past few years the trend has slowly made its way to the U.S., with variations of the game popping up around New York and the West Coast. Now we're being treated to the latest experience to join the thrilling fad. And the best part: it may be coming to a city near you! In promotion of "The Purge: Anarchy," the sequel to last year's surprise horror hit "The Purge," Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions have created a little something called "The Purge: Breakout."
Here's the event description:
"In The Purge: Breakout, it's the annual Purge Night, when citizens across the country exercise their right of anarchy. Your group is being held captive by a demented psychopath, 30 minutes before The Purge begins. Trapped in his house, groups must work together—solving a series of increasingly complicated, mind-bending puzzles and clues—to breakout from captivity and survive the most terrifying 12 hours of the year."
I was lucky enough to take part in the experience before it was open to the public -- and that turned out to be very lucky indeed, now that the entire Miami tour is completely sold out. I went in with three other journalists (it's a pretty cramped space, so the maximum group size is six). Before we started, we were told the ground rules: you have up to 30 minutes to escape; there's a button you can press in case of emergencies; and things that are nailed or glued down are to stay that way. In other words, physical force is not necessary to come across any of the hidden clues.
Once it was clear that everyone in our party understood the rules, we were ushered into a pitch-black, box-like area. After about a minute of anxious/scared/excited murmuring among our group, a black curtain suddenly fell down to reveal a hysterical, restrained girl begging us for help. Once we set her free, she became a guide of sorts, helping in small ways to steer our group around the terrifying house of horrors.
The semi-trucks that are home to "The Purge: Breakout" may not look like much on the outside, but once you start exploring, you'll be shocked at what they were able to create with such little space. The more clues you solve, the more rooms you get to experience. At one point we were exposed to a chilling DVD; at another we had to use a phone to help unlock a complex security system made by "Sandin Securities." (Fans of "The Purge" will gleefully make the connection between the name of the system and the main character in the first film played by Ethan Hawke.)
30 minutes may seem like plenty of time, but it goes by in the blink of an eye. It takes real effort to find the clues, not to mention you better be ready to get your hands dirty. One moment was particularly memorable to me, in which our team wasted precious seconds contemplating the safety of sticking our hands into a garbage disposal. (And yes, it's perfectly safe.)
The entire experience is done with minimal lighting, making it extremely difficult to see what's going on and what you're rummaging through. And while it's a bit of an annoyance, especially since your vision is one of the few tools at your disposal here, the darkness, mixed with the eerie, flickering lights, definitely added to the overall aura of terror.
By the time we heard that dreaded voice come over the loudspeaker to announce the start of the annual Purge, it was clear that it was too late for us. But despite our untimely "demise," I can't recommend "The Purge: Breakout" enough. This is truly ingenious marketing, and unlike anything I had ever done before. It's here in Miami until Sunday, and then it continues on its tour, traveling to New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Dallas, with a final stop in Los Angeles right on time for the July 18th release of "The Purge: Anarchy."
We couldn't survive The Purge. Can you?

exec apache2 -f /path/to/demo_apache2.conf -D FOREGROUND
We were having the problem that
svc -d /etc/service/* actually had the effect of restarting all the services, it didn't take them down. We finally tracked it down to that one service, and found that
svc -d /etc/service/apache2 would bring up any other service was down, including itself.
Changing FOREGROUND to NO_DAEMONIZE fixes the behavior, but we'd really like to understand what's going on. Can anybody explain why an
svc -d on one service would bring an other service up?
Thanks for any clue you can offer.

Women's Soccer's Moore Collects Pair Of Weekly Honors
Oct. 21, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. - After scoring all five of the squad's goals last week, UMass women's soccer senior forward Brittany Moore has been selected as the Co-Atlantic 10 Player of the Week and Co-UMass Athlete of the Week, it was announced on Monday.
She shares the UMass Athlete of the Week honors with hockey's Steven Iacobellis and the pair will be recognized at the UMass Sports Luncheon this Wednesday, Oct. 23, at noon in the Massachusetts Room, Mullins Center, third floor. This week's luncheon will be the Basketball Tip-Off Luncheon, featuring basketball head coaches Derek Kellogg and Sharon Dawley.
Moore had two multi-goal matches for the Minutewomen in a 1-1-0 week last week for a total of 10 points. Last Friday against Rhode Island, she registered a natural hat trick in the second half to lead UMass to a 3-1 victory over the Rams, the first hat trick by a Minutewoman since Deanna Colarossi logged one vs. Temple in 2010 and just the second for a UMass player since 2002.
Moore followed up the performance by scoring twice as UMass was edged in double overtime on Sunday in a road match at Fordham, 3-2. She now has a team-best 18 points (8g, 2a) through 16 games this fall and a total of 23 points (8g, 7a) in 70 career contests.

I have to give Jason Morales in the PerformancePoint team in the US all the credit for this idea. He has began to pull together some great content and links from across the OBA business and distribute it to some of his key customer and partner contacts. Some of it has a distinctly North American flavour but with his permission I am going to lift this idea, anglicise it and publish it as a regular monthly update of all things MS BI.
So it's only the 17th of June but what the heck I'll publish it anyway. This is the inaugural monthly update for June 2007.
Key to making this as valuable as possible is letting me know what you would like to see in this...It's very much a free forum for posting information that's important to you.

Conference doors shut on Bahati
Posted Thursday, December 9 2010 at 00:00
In Summary
Unfortunate incident
"If it's true that he was barred from the conference, then it's unfortunate because Americans have seen and felt democracy. The organisers should have listened to his divergent view," he said
Mr Bahati's Bill suggests life imprisonment for homosexuals, and in certain cases, death by hanging for those who recruit minors into the act.
Ndorwa West MP David Bahati was on Tuesday denied entry into a conference on financial management in Washington because of his anti-homosexuality Bill.
Organisers told Mr Bahati that they had "made a decision" to deny him entrance to the International Consortium of Governmental Financial Management conference although four other Ugandan MPs were given the green light.
Clinton factor
Days to the conference, pro-gay activists had petitioned the US Secretary of State to stop Mr Bahati from attending the conference, referring to his Bill that has drawn worldwide criticism.
The conference spokesperson, Mr Doug Hadden, was quoted on Lez Get Real website, saying "There was a frank but calm discussion and Mr Bahati was not able to enter the building."
Mr Bahati told Daily Monitor yesterday that organisers had shown a "high level of intolerance" that is "inconsistent with American values".
MP hits back
"But the resolve to defend the future of children and pursuit of this wonderful piece of legislation is intact," he said.
"This conference is not about gays. It has nothing to do with homosexuals but I don't know why I was denied entry," said Mr Bahati. "My colleagues wanted to boycott the conference but we later agreed that they should go ahead and attend and we petition the State Department because we can't stand this kind of discrimination."
The other MPs attending the conference are Ms Grace Kyomugisha (UPDF), Mr Gaud Kabondo (Bunyaruguru), Mr William Nsubuga (Buvuma) and Sarah Nyombi (Ntejeru North).
The Uganda delegation later met the Deputy Assistant of Secretary of State Bureau of African Affairs, Ms Karl Wycoff, and raised the matter.
Parliament's Public Relations Officer, Mr Jotham Taremwa described the incident as unfortunate.

This is my Friday Flash for the Vamplit Blog this week. Salad anyone!
Fungal Desires
My face stares back at me in the mirror, telling me that what I had feared is reality. I walk away from the bathroom, go to the kitchen, and grab a beer. After twisting the top off the long neck, I sit in the lazy boy and attempt to figure things out.
Shit! The damn bottle barely fits in my mouth. By tomorrow . . .by tomorrow I might not even have a mouth. Mother fucker! This can't be happening! The day before yesterday everything was fine: I was the same as everyone else; healthier, stronger even. That was then; this is now.
That damn cave! I should have never gone in there, but how was I to know? It all seemed so matter of fact: we were there to explore a new section recently discovered by one of our colleages. The opening was small, and I was the only one with the balls to explore it.
The main cave had produced many great specimens of mushrooms in the past, some unknown to the scientific community. In my mind, this smaller out shoot might have even more surprises in store.
Unfortunately, I was right.
I had crawled through one section and the spores-the damned spores, seemingly everywhere- were flying around me, lodging on my skin, being breathed into my lungs, causing me to choke from the sheer multitude of their presence. I didn't even bother to collect any specimens; I had to get the fuck out!
Somehow, I don't know where I tapped in to the strength necessary to get my butt out of there. I crawled out and was helped to the surface by the rest of the team. They asked me what happened, but, I couldn't answer them; I didn't have the strength to talk. After a few hours in the hospital, worthless time that produced no answers, I called a cab and went home. The bozos there had no more answers than I did.
But now the answers are here. Yes, I simply need to string them together in the right order. Will I have time enough to stop what is happening to me? That's the question. If I don't, what will I become?
The beer is no help; it's not relaxing me to where I can get a grip on my emotions and settle into my thoughts. The second one has no effect either. And the third? Shit! Already my mouth is sealing up, worthless for anything, unable to accept the bottle in to its depths or even to breathe with.
Transformation . . .transformation comes fast! My nose no longer breathes; my eyes no longer see. The cold reality is that what I was is no more, and yet I am still able to see, breathe, and feel all that is around me. The new me feels superior to the old. My emotions are slipping away as I realize they merely get in the way; a mere crutch when none is needed.
Yes, these old things are nothing more than a facade. Who needs them? Not me any longer. Survival is the key to everything. Feelings mean nothing.
A stirring within me says I need to eat, to sustain myself, to get stronger. but exactly what do I eat? Damn! How do I eat?
Someone knocks on my door. Yeah right: as if I can answer now. But, they're persistent, and when I don't respond, They turn the knob and start to open the door. I must not have locked it!
There is no time for me to hide, and when he sees me for what I am, he panics and freezes in place, unable to move. John, my compadre, will not tell anyone else what I have become, as I totally surround him with my new self and absorb him into me, feeling him fight to escape, once it is too late. His energy and strength are now a part of me, and I grow in size from his entirety, seemingly nothing discarded.
I go to another apartment within the building, my appetite not having been sated with John alone. In my new state, I am able to slide through the crack in the edge of the door, come out the other side, and become whole once more.
Water is running in the shower, and I go towards it, knowing my prey is there, She steps out and hasn't even placed her feet on the bath mat before she, like John, is now part of me.
But something different happens this time: John separates from me, becoming his own entity. He is no longer a part of me. I feel the woman inside me yet, but I know the being looking at me is John. He needed strength to break away, to become his own person. Is that the right term for what we are? Are we still people, or are we merely fungal oddities resembling humans?
He leaves the room in search of food. It seems strange that the birthing process for our species is nothing more than eating and casting off a part of ourselves to become our child: a grown child, already knowing what he or she must do to survive and propagate the genetic pool.
I so preferred the old human way.
But the need for food is of utmost importance in my mind, and a sadistic desire for sharing this wonderful existence of mine with my co-workers is formulating in my brain. Yes, they need to experience the marvels of this existence. All of them.
It is dark now, and with a little care and hiding in the shadows, I make it to George's house. He is as shocked as John was, but is almost able to come out of his near catatonic trance. Almost. Soon, he is mine, and as I envelop his wife within our duality, he slides out from within me and we look for more prey, the easiest being his teenage sons. Before long, the entire family is of our species.
The family that eats together stays together. How true.
One by one, I turn every one of the sniveling weaklings who wouldn't explore the cave into what I have become, but I am like a leader to them. Maybe it's because I was the first to taste the fruits of transformation, the one who truly understands the magnificence of what we are.
It takes a long time for the authorities to discover that we exist, and even longer for them to fathom our plans. Fools. Either we do what we have to do to survive, or we give the humans the advantage. That's not going to happen.
What does it really matter? It's not like there's any pain involved. They simply become what we are. I would say they're coming out ahead.
Eight billion people on the planet. That's a lot of food. It will last for a long time.
I watch the foolish people scurrying around on the streets, trying to avoid us, not understanding.the complexity of what is. Their reign on earth is over. Ours is beginning.
We are supreme!

Every time Wal-Mart decides to bring its Neighborhood Market concept into a new region -- such as the recent announcement that it will expand it to Houston -- the industry discussion intensifies. Mostly the talk is about how fast this two-and-a-half-year-old conventional supermarket format will be rolled out around the country and which supermarket competitors in which regions will be impacted. A recent visit to a Dallas Neighborhood Market got me thinking about a different question: What ...

"Between heresy and schism there is this difference, that heresy perverts dogma, while schism, by rebellion against the bishop, separates from the Church. Nevertheless there is no schism which does not trump up a heresy to justify its departure from the Church."
