I got my first-ever bikini wax three summers ago as a present for my husband. I won't go into all of the details of that experience because it's in my book. If you want to know more about what happens during a nether-grooming wax and rip session, go to amazon and preorder it.
What's important for you to know now—before we get to the Grooming Guide—is that there are three myths about nether grooming.
Myth #1: You groom your nethers because your man likes them that way.
As I mentioned, I initially did it as a gift for my husband. I found, however, that I'd given a gift to myself. A freshly groomed vulva is not only a work of art to behold, it's downright sensitive to the touch. If you've had issues with sexual desire, a bikini wax just might fix the situation. Grooming also makes your vulva more inviting for oral pleasure. Not only is there less chance of an errant hair getting in his mouth, your entire womanly package feels silky to the tongue. (And, men, the same holds true for your bits as well. Trim the hair and your lady will be more likely to want to go south).
Myth #2: Nether waxing hurts more than childbirth.
It hurts some, but definitely not as much as childbirth. I'd compare it to the sting of getting a shot. Over time, you can develop pain coping mechanisms. For instance, deep breathing really helps.
Myth #3: Only rich people can afford nether grooming
The typical Brazilian wax might run you $80 or so. For this amount of money, you will find out what it feels like to have zero strands of hair on your front side and back. And, yes, you probably have more hair in your butt than your realize. Once it's gone, you'll be all like, "Wow, so that's what a hairless butt feels like."
If you are a hairy sort like me, then you'll develop a 5 o clock shadow almost instantly. That means, if you want to remain silky at all times, a weekly wax would be in order.
That's expensive. Sure.
For those on a budget, there are also these wonderful inventions. They are called razors. The rest of this post will teach you how to use one. And don't feel bad about going the razor route. This is how professional strippers groom their nethers. How do I know? I've asked them.
Now, if you are wondering about other hair removal options, let me tell you. I've tried most of them. For instance, let's talk about the Epilady. I do not know what evil person invented that device. All I can say is this. Taking an Epilady to your privates may very well be as painful as childbirth. I managed to Epilady off about 6 hairs before tears ran down my face.
I've also tried hair removal products like Nair. But these things stink up the bathroom. They also require you to walk around the house pants-less for 10 minutes with stinky cream on your front side. My husband always got a big kick out of seeing me this way, but it wasn't exactly what I would call a turn on for either one of us. And there's always the fear of accidentally getting the Nair somewhere you really don't want it, such as your eyebrows.
There are also home waxing kits. I've never been brave enough to go there.
How to Shave Your Bits
Step 1: Purchase the right equipment.
You'll need:
- A top quality razor. Those disposable cheap plastic things that you might be using on your legs will turn your pubic area into something that resembles ground beef. You want a sturdy three or four blade razor with a replaceable head, such as the Schick Quattro. Note that the Schick Quattro is designed for women. I use my husband's Quattro, the same one he uses on his face. I just swap out the razor head. You can do the same if you are on a budget.
- A small, electric razor. I use the EpiLady Lady B. It came at a discount when I bought the torture device that this company also sells. There are many other brands that work on the bikini area. You'll use this to give your nethers a pre-trim. More on that in a bit.
- Shaving cream. I've used many different brands, ranging from super expensive stuff from specialty catalogs to really cheap stuff available at any convenience store. The cheap stuff works just as good as the expensive stuff. I use Skintimate brand, but there are others. Just don't use soap. Soap doesn't lube up the area enough. It's a blood infusion waiting to happen. Note: I've read that shaving cream is toxic, and the list of ingredients does have all sorts of words like "triethanolamine" and such. I asked my Frugal Kiwi friend Melanie if she had a DIY shaving cream recipe, as she's created all sorts of concoctions ranging from DIY toothpaste to DIY shampoo to DIY deodorant. She had not yet created a DIY shaving cream, but she sent me to this article from Ehow that has instructions. Note: I have not tried this myself; I have no idea whether it will turn your nethers into hamburger.
Step 2: Give yourself a pre-trim
If you are sporting all of your womanliness, you'll want to trim down some of that woolliness with the electric razor. Otherwise you will do in your razor head before you've finished your first shave. Either stand on a bath towel or in the tub for your pre-shave. This makes clean up easier. Use two fingers (such as the flat insides of your middle and index fingers) to gently pull straight the hair, and then use the razor to chop it right off.
If you'd like to shave a pretty picture into your nethers, I suppose you could turn the whole endeavor into a group project and ask your man to draw lines on your front side with eyebrow pencil. Or you could do what I do and settle for any old shape that emerges. Right now, for instance, I'm sporting something that resembles Hitler's mustache. It's a little crooked, but it serves its purpose.
Step 3: Follow up with the razor.
Do this part in the shower with the hot water running. Wash off the entire area. Physician types like to caution against shaving the bits because they claim all sorts of scary infections can set in. I've never gotten a scary infection down there. I think that's because I give myself a good soap down first.
Once you are nice and clean, put shaving cream on the parts you want to shave. Then slowly take the razor to yourself. You'll probably have to concoct your body into all sorts of unusual positions in order to get all of the hair off. For instance, to get the pesky little hairs in the crack between your vulva and thigh, you'll probably need to step one leg onto the side of the tub and then do an impressive squat straddle. Count it as your exercise for the day.
Periodically rinse off the shaving cream and run your fingers over your vulva. This is your quality control test. If you feel stubble, you're not done. If you feel silky oh la la, you're done. Soap yourself up one more time.
Step 4: Lube up.
I rub coconut oil all over my privates when I'm done. It's my understanding that coconut oil is a natural antibacterial, so this might be another reason I've never gotten a horrific skin infection from shaving my nethers.
Step 5: Jump your husband's bones
There is no greater aphrodisiac than a freshly shaved front side. Use it to your advantage.
What are your nether grooming tips? Have you tried DIY shaving cream? Has a freshly trimmed front side improved your sex life? Share your insights with others.

Wow, new month already, guess it is time to start a new tread.
May October bring us ghosts, gobblins and BFPs!
COkiki, welcome!
Mel, usually you don't want to change things during a cycle. But since you are so early in it, (CD5 right?) and some people don't temp during AF anyway, I think if it was me, I'd probably mark in the notes section what time I took the temps and what the temps where for the last 5 days. Then if you switch to temping when hubby's alarm goes off from tomorrow on, I'd either discard the first 5 temps, or I'd delete them. If you have the info in your notes you can always add them back in later if need by.
Ovulation is detected when you have 3 higher temps than your pervious 6, so while the temps at the beginning of your cycle help you see patterns, unless you ovulate really, really early not having it won't hurt not having them.
I didn't temp the week after my surgery, but picked up after that and still got crosshairs with a totally wacky chart.
If the lighter shorter periods concern you, then just talk to him about it. If it is nothing, he can put your mind at ease. And if there is concern then he can look into it.
Lishs, I didn't have the shot, but most of the time I see people say they were told to wait 3 months after the shot before trying again. I do think it has something to do with letting the folic acid build back up in your system. Hopefully others who have had the shot can weigh in with opinions for you. For me I think I'd have to go with the DR and plan for November or December.
Texas- Yes CD 5. I think I will discard them and start fresh. I O late--CD 21 and CD 24 the last two months (well thats when I got my + OPK) I broke down after I typed up the response to you can called to leave a message to the nurse to call me. I'm just waiting now to see what they think. I want to have hormone blood work done just to make sure everything is the way it should be :( This process is so stressful!
Lish- i didnt have the shot either but I feel if I were you I would give it one more month to make sure everything is perfect to catch the egg and hold on to it :) GL
Cornual Ectopic (lost left tube) 6-5-12
Rainbow Baby GIRL! <3 July 5, 2013
Hey ladies I really want to share my success story for I had lost hope but I now have had two miracles happen in my life!!! Here is my story.....
I have had a total of 4 pregnancies, and 3 of them were not succesful. I had a miscarriage at the age of 17, which did not phase me too much because the idea of being a parent was terrifying at that age. I later found out in May of 2009 that I was going to need emergency surgery after just finding out an hour prior that I was expecting. I was devastated because though I was only 19, I felt I could handle our surprise because we were not trying to concieve at all! I needed surgery and my tube was removed and I barely survived the ordeal. Two months later, we found out we were expecting again and she had somehow come from the side with no tube, to our total shock! We slipped up once, and I immediately went and took the morning after pill. Well 9 months later I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Jump a few years forward. My daughter is now 26 months and my husband and I decided we were brave enough to start trying again. We conieved the first month we tried and were over the moon! We found out our due date was Feb 14, the day of love. I was cautious but had implantation bleeding, higher than average HCG levels, and had pregnancy symptoms almost immediately. I was on guard every day after the BFP. I had no pain in my side though so was starting to feel relieved. The nurses and doctors told me everything I was experiencing were good signs so I should relax. Last Thursday around midnight I had spotting and a gush of liquid so I went to the emergency room to ensure I was not having another ectopic. They saw a sac in my uterus. No baby, but they said I was right at 6 weeks, so it was not surprising and in a few days to go see my OB and there would be a baby and a heartbeat. The next day I was having severe pain in my bladder and felt severly constipated. I just thought I was bruised from the ultrasound because she had been pretty rough. (It was a transvaginal ultrasound). I decided I had probably irritated my bladder sleeping in a bad position and just dealt with the pain. 8 am rolled around and the pain was steadily getting worse but I still did not suspect an ectopic but was starting to fear a miscarriage. Sure enough, I started gushing blood at midnight again. We rushed back to the same emergency room and they told me I was being overly paranoid and it is normal to have bleeding. They then did an ultrasound and did not see the baby so called in the head OB doctor. She arrived and took over and noticed immediately that something was wrong. The sac in the uterus was filled with blood which is why we could not see anything. As a matter of fact, my entire uterus was filled with blood. She decided to look at the only tube I had left and then turned to me and told me I was going to need surgery immediately. My entire abdomen was filled with blood and was filling at an alarming rate. She told me I had an ectopic. After I got out of surgery, I was told I had concieved twins and though one had made it to the uterus, the other had implanted into the tube. I was hoping this meant that one of the babies would survive. The doctor told me it would not. My body was in shock and after removing the ectopic, my HCG levels were already dropping. She told me I would have to go through a natural misscarriage ontop of just having lost one of my babies. Tuesday around midnight, I heard the plop in the toilet. There was my second baby. It seemed so barbaric. I just stood there and stared for several minutes before hollering for my husband who also was in shock. It was so small and perfect. I am hoping there will be no more surprises now. I have had so many ups and downs and am grieving so much. Both times almost cost me my life and my fertility. I was told that once I am done trying to concieve, I will need my tubes removed because pregnancy has become a danger to me. I just needed to get my story out there. Thank you too all who have read my story. Thankfully, the surgeon was able to save my tube and we will be able to try again. I am thinking a year will be a good time frame. So much pain and grief and fear at this point. I am just thankful I have one miracle baby!
The last ectopic was only a few months ago in June and I am pregnant again somehow! The doctors were telling me it was too dangerous to concieve naturally because I had had internal bleeding twice but somehow the miracle happened! I am pregnant. 6 weeks on friday and it is in the uterus!!! I cried so hard at my appt when I found out I had another miracle baby. It has been stressful and I am in a lot of pain with becoming pregnant so soon after surgery and I have had spotting twice but I am truly optimistic and I just want everyone to know it can happen!!! :)
Good luck Katiann...and congrats.
Oh Bananacat...what great news...you get to see the baby today! I bet it is IUP with how high your hcg is.
Texas - You will get your rainbow. I feel positive that we all will but it is really hard waiting.
kbressette - I'm ending my fertile time as well and entering my TWW. When do you expect AF? I expect her around October 16th. I'll probably test that day if she doesn't show before hand.
I got my thyroid and FSH back yesterday and everything was within normal range. I get my progesterone drawn again on October 11th (cd 21) and if it is low again, and I don't get pregnant this cycle then we will start clomid for the next 3 cycles.
Hi i have been following this thread science i had my ep on 7/23 and got 2 shots of mtx waiting for my period and now am trying again! I ovulated on 9/27-28-29 and dtd all 3 days! I am should be getting af on 10-5th or 6th so i am hoping she wont show and that i will get a + to show:)

Alexa Sophia May 18th 10 7lbs7oz
Katiann- Thanks for sharing your story. Good Luck with your pregnancy!
Texas- Its going to happen soon, you will have your rainbow!
Banana- CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR IUP!!
Lindz- Welcome. Keep us posted! KFMX
Hi EOE!
AFM: I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow about my short/light periods. Of course they asked me "are you pregnant" I said "well I wish I could answer yes but no I'm not" I'm hoping they do bloodwork and check my hormone levels just to put my mind at ease. I think the only reason they are taking me is because of my past Cornual EP. If I was a normal Joe Smoe they would be like "came back after you have been trying a year" I guess thats the one and only "advantage" of having a EP :( (althought I would rather have not) sigh this month has no been a good one (and its only the 3rd) Ive had bad news all around me I'm just waiting for some tomorrow too :( Sorry to be a downer today.

Sunflowers are so cheerful. They stand tall, and their bright yellow faces turn to follow the sun across the sky. This time of year they're a familiar sight in North America, where they grow in gardens and fields and along roadsides. As the seedheads ripen in late summer, birds seek them out and have picnics on them, picking out the nutritious, oil-laden kernels.
The birds are right to value sunflower seeds as snack food—sunflowers carry health benefits that go beyond the smiles they bring to our faces when we see them. Research and nutritional analyses show that sunflower seeds are loaded with protein, they're an energy food, and they're a rich source of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.
These plants also have history on their side. For 3,000 years, many Native American tribes cultivated them as a staple of their diets. The ancient Aztecs worshiped them, traditional herbalists used them medicinally and, today, they're a major food crop in the United States. Sunflowers are native to this continent, so they can rightly be called an all-American snack.
The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant in the daisy family. It has coarse, hairy leaves, and it looks rough as it rapidly grows in early summer. By the end of the season, some varieties can tower 10 to 12 feet high.
Atop this gawky stalk is the single brilliantly colored ray flower that delivers its precious cargo of seeds. That flower is a lesson in efficient packing, with up to 2,000 zebra-striped seeds crammed tightly together in concentric circles within the flower head. In its form and growth habits, the sunflower offers comedy, drama, and geometry in addition to its other attributes.
It's simple to grow. If you have the space, try it and you may end up with your own harvest of seeds if you beat the birds to it. See the box on page 63 for growing instructions. If you're not a gardener, sunflower seeds for eating are sold in every convenience store and grocery, right next to the potato chips and pretzels.
The seed, where the sunflower packs its nutrition, is dried, soaked in saltwater, then roasted. The tiny kernels are chewy, nutty, and mild tasting, delicious by themselves. Some professional athletes can be seen chomping away on handfuls of sunflower seeds, spitting out the hulls as they go. Shelled seeds are easy to toss into salads and sandwiches, incorporate into breads and pastries, sprinkle on baked potatoes or hot cereal, and use in a variety of vegetarian dishes. They can be ground in a coffee mill and added to flour for pancakes or pie crusts, to which they lend a distinctive nutty flavor. The seed is also the source of a premium oil, valued by cooks for its light color, mild flavor, relatively low level of saturated fats, and its ability to withstand cooking at high temperatures.
Want to grow your own nutritious sunflower seeds? This time next year, you could be enjoying the sunny beauty of the tall ray flowers in your gardens and looking forward to a harvest of seeds before cold weather sets in. It's easy. Here's how.
Sunflowers come in many sizes and colors. The most common variety grown for eating is the Mammoth sunflower, the giant with a stalk that climbs 10 feet into the air and produces a seed head up to 15 inches across. It is commonly available at nurseries that sell seeds and through mail order.
The sunflower is not fussy about its location or soil as long as it's planted in full sun. Prepare a patch of dirt by weeding and turning over the soil to loosen it. In the spring, plant the seeds, in their shells, and cover them lightly with soil. Keep them watered well until they send up their shoots, then stand back and watch them grow. Thin the plants so that they're 12 to 18 inches apart. Occasionally, water them (particularly during very hot weather) and feed them lightly with a general all-purpose fertilizer. If they're planted in an exposed location, particularly if you're in a windy area, consider bracing the stalks as they grow by putting stakes on either side of a row and stringing a wire or string for them to lean against.
After the sunflower blooms, the head will start to shrivel and turn brown. You want to let the seeds ripen on the stalk, but check them every day to be sure you don't leave them so long that the seeds start to fall out on their own. You know seeds are ripe when you can easily remove them from the plant. Cut the stalk off, hang it up in an airy place, perhaps the garage, and leave it until the seeds are completely dried.
Modern varieties have been cultivated so that the sunflower heads droop late in the season, which has the advantage of not attracting so many seed-loving birds. One way to avoid damage by birds is to cover the seed head in the final ripening period with mesh, cheesecloth, or nylon. If cold, damp fall weather threatens, harvest your stalk, even if it's not quite ready, and dry it.
To prepare the dried sunflower seeds to eat, brown 1 cup of seed in the shell in 1/2 teaspoon of cooking oil. Drain off any excess oil, place the seeds in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and toss.
For a peek inside that seed, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's nutritional database on edible plants offers a string of numbers that hold the secret of its goodness. Below are some of sunflower seeds' components and a description of their possible benefits; the nutritional figures are based on the edible portion of 1 cup of seeds in their hulls, or 46 g of kernels—perhaps what the average person would consume, at least on a heavy snacking day.
Vitamin E. Sunflower seeds are a good source of this powerful antioxidant, which is believed to prevent cancer and cardiovascular disease and slow the effects of aging, among other benefits. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin E is 8 to 10 mg; 46 g of sunflower seeds delivers 23 mg.
B-Complex Vitamins. Sunflowers offer a good supply of B vitamins, which help metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Specifically, sunflowers contain B6, folate, and pantothenic acid. Vitamin B6 is vital for the maintenance of almost all body functions and can affect both physical and mental health. The cup of sunflower seeds in their hulls has 0.35 mg of B6, compared to the RDA of 1.6 to 2 mg.
Folate, or folic acid, is involved in the metabolism of protein, the formation of red blood cells, and the transmission of nerve impulses, among other activities, and can affect mood, sleep, appetite, and the immune system. The RDA for folic acid is 180 to 200 mcg, more for pregnant and nursing women; sunflower seeds have 105 mcg.
The body uses pantothenic acid in its metabolism and in the synthesis of hormones and blood. It's also known as the anti-stress vitamin. The level recommended by the National Research Council is 4 to 7 mg; sunflower seeds have 3 mg.
Minerals. The minerals found in substantial quantities in sunflower seeds include phosphorus, iron, and selenium. Phosphorus is important in maintaining healthy bones and teeth and sustaining energy levels, and is vital to the growth and maintenance of all body tissue. The RDA for phosphorus is 800 mg; you can get 324 mg from that cup of sunflower seeds in their shells.
The body uses iron to make red blood cells, produce energy, maintain the immune system, and other functions. The RDA is 10 mg for adults, half again as much for women of childbearing age; sunflower seeds deliver 3 mg.
Sunflower seeds contain vitamins E and B, and substantial quantities of phosphorous, iron, and selenium.
The body needs selenium, a trace mineral, to activate an antioxidant enzyme that is credited with a wide variety of effects, including lowering the risk of heart disease and relieving anxiety and depression. The RDA is 55 to 70 mcg; sunflower seeds have 27 mcg.
Amino acids. These are the building blocks that make up the proteins in every cell in the body. Sunflowers are an excellent source of two amino acids in particular, phenylalanine and arginine. In fact, sunflower seeds are one of the best sources of phenylalanine, a chemical that plays a role in the formation of neurotransmitters and is involved in controlling pain. Jim Duke, a longtime medicinal-plant researcher for the USDA and a leading authority on healing herbs, states it definitively in his book The Green Pharmacy (Rodale, 1997): "If I were in pain, I'd eat a handful of sunflower seeds . . . and use ground seeds in a poultice on painful areas."
Finally, sunflower seeds are the richest known source of the vital amino acid arginine, which is helpful in treating angina, high cholesterol, hypertension, heart attack, and stroke, and is also related to sexual function in men. Writing with his colleague C. Leigh Broadhurst in the September/October 1998 Herbs for Health, Duke says that the tremendous hype over the impotence drug Viagra piqued his interest in an herbal alternative, which he found in sunflower seeds because of their high level of arginine. Arginine increases the body's nitric oxide levels. Sexual excitement signals pelvic nerves to call up nitric oxide, which helps blood vessels expand and the penis to become engorged to create an erection.
Naturopaths who recommend arginine to men with low sperm counts advise 4 g of arginine a day. Our cup of sunflower seeds contains about 2 g; Duke cautions that sunflower seeds must be completely digested and the protein broken down before the body can use the arginine.
Gentlemen, did I get your attention? Ladies, do you know what snack to serve your gentlemen callers?
Sunflowers have a history as colorful as the faces they turn to the sun. Aztec priestesses in the fifteenth century crowned themselves with sunflowers and the sunflower image was emblazoned in gold on their temples. Spanish explorers took sunflower seeds back to the Old World as gifts for their queen in the early sixteenth century.
The first large-scale cultivation of sunflowers happened in Russia in the sixteenth century, after the czar Peter the Great saw them growing in the royal gardens of Holland. It was in Russia that improvements of the wild American variety began, and the roasted seeds became so popular there that they were sold on street corners and in railway stations. In the Netherlands, the plant's ability to absorb water from the soil was put to use in the reclaiming of swampland. The Chinese grew sunflowers for the fiber in their stalks, which they mixed with silk.
In the Americas, where the sunflower originated, it was used in many ways by Native Americans for 8,000 years, some sources say, and it has been cultivated for at least 3,000 years by many tribes, from the Choctaws of the Southeast to the Senecas of the North and the Pawnee of the Great Plains. Hopi Indians carved wooden sunflowers and kept them sacred, believing they would bring rain and enrich their sunflower harvest.
The Indians used sunflower as a food staple, grinding the roasted seeds into a fine meal, which they used alone or mixed with corn meal and pressed into thin cakes and baked. They used the meal to thicken soups and stews, and they made sunflower butter and shaped it into balls to take with them when they traveled. They steeped the hulls in boiling water to produce a coffee-like beverage. They extracted a purple dye from the hulls of purple-seeded varieties and a yellow dye from the petals. The dried petals and pollen dyed their faces for ceremonial dances. They boiled the seeds to draw out the oil, which they used as hair ointment and in cooking. They even used dried sap from the leaves to relieve thirst.
Pioneers in the New World used the fiber from the stalks to make rope. During World War I, the U.S. government encouraged the growing of sunflowers, whose oil was used in the manufacture of munitions. The leaves were once included in herb tobacco mixtures and, in modern times, parts of the sunflower plant are still used as poultry feed and litter, and the oil has been researched as a potential substitute for diesel fuel.
Ah, this plant! Throughout the centuries, it has also been widely used medicinally by traditional herbalists. According to Maud Grieve, in her 1931 A Modern Herbal, the diuretic and expectorant qualities of the plant were put to use in a syrup for the treatment of coughs, colds, bronchial and pulmonary infections, and whooping cough. Sunflower was used as a substitute for quinine in the treatment of malarial fever. The leaves would be spread out on a cloth covering a bed, moistened with warm milk, then the patient would be wrapped up in it and made to perspire, Grieve tells us. The process would be repeated every day until the fever was gone. Russian folk healers would chop the head of a sunflower and soak it in vodka to rub on rheumatic patients as a liniment. They made decoctions of the seeds for jaundice, malaria, heart conditions, diarrhea, and other ailments.
In the marketplace today, many products contain sunflower seed or its oil, including herbal supplements, nutrition bars for energy and endurance, diet milkshakes, soaps, and other body care products.

The old Regency Mall property has laid vacant for years. (FILE / WRDW-TV)
Augusta,Ga (WRDW)----An old Augusta eye sore could be getting some attention soon. Augusta commissioners will discuss what to do with the old Regency Mall property.
The mall has been empty for years. The parking lot for the mall was used earlier this year as a staging ground for Georgia Power during the ice storm in Feburary. Commissioner Bill Lockett put the item on the agenda to find out what city workers are doing to find a tenant.
We talked to people who live in the area who say the city has got to put the property to good use. "It is a pretty good space and still a standing building. If the building is worth restoring, then I think it should be developed. They could put it out for bid or bring someone in to develop it," said Neighbor Terry Willis.
City leaders will get an update on Monday afternoon on any progress made at the site.

Former Miami OL Murtha: Martin standoffish, Incognito not racist
Lydon Murtha played on the Dolphins offensive line from 2009-12, so he knows guard Richie Incognito and tackle Jonathan Martin. And just like so many of the Dolphins players on Wednesday, Murtha seemed to defend Incognito more than Martin in a first-person piece for theMMQB.com on Thursday.
Murtha wrote that he considers both men friends, but he also noted that he wanted to "correct some of the misconceptions and outright lies being reported in the course of this story."
A few things Murtha -- who, like Incognito, is a Nebraska alumnus -- reported:
-From the time Martin was drafted in 2012, he didn't try to make himself part of the offensive line clique and didn't try to look anybody in the eye. In Murtha's eyes, Martin "came off as standoffish and shy to the rest of the offensive linemen." Murtha also wrote that, as far as he knew, Martin declined to pay for the so-called rookie dinner, something Murtha said he's never seen before.
-Incognito was the one who was supporting Martin when he was struggling with his play or not giving the kind of effort the team expected. He also said it appeared as though Martin and Incognito were close friends. "Richie has been more kind to Martin than any other player ..." Murtha writes. "The crap he would give Martin was no more than he gave anyone else, including me. Other players said the same things Incognito said to Martin, so you'd need to suspend the whole team if you suspend Incognito." All of that said, Murtha doesn't believe Incognito bullied Martin, even though he writes that Incognito doesn't have a filter.
-Like his teammates said Wednesday, Murtha doesn't believe Incognito is a racist. Writes Murtha: "That voicemail he sent came from a place of humor, but where he really screwed up was using the N-word. That, I cannot condone, and it's probably the biggest reason he's not with the team right now. Odd thing is, I've heard Incognito call Martin the same thing to his face in meetings and all Martin did was laugh. Many more worse things were said about others in the room from all different parties. It's an Animal House."
- As for the $15,000 paid by Martin for a Las Vegas trip he didn't actually attend? Murtha writes that it's actually more Martin's fault. "Every year, as tradition, the offensive line goes on a big Vegas trip. Everything is paid for in advance, from hotels to a private jet to show tickets. Martin originally verbally committed to the trip, then later backed out after everything was booked. Now, if you can't go because of an emergency then it's okay, but to say you're going and then decide you don't want to spend the money later? Everything was paid for, and then when it was time to pay up he didn't want to go anymore. You don't do that to your brothers. The veterans who paid for it, including Incognito and others, asked for Martin's share, and he gave it to them. End of story."
Make sure to read Murtha's entire piece because he also believes the coaches would have had to know about the problems and that, in football, you're taught to be an aggressive person. "You typically do not make it to the NFL if you are a passive person," he writes. "There are a few, but it's very hard. Playing football is a man's job, and if there's any weak link, it gets weeded out. It's the leaders' job on the team to take care of it."

Towel Guide: What is GSM?13 November 2012
Here at The Turkish Towel Company we field a lot of questions about GSM, from "What is it?" to "What's the best for me?" The first question is the easiest to answer, so let's tackle that one first!
What is GSM?
GSM is short for grams per square meter. All fabrics have a weight, and the standard measurement for the weight and quality of fabrics (including towels) is grams per square meter. This number refers to the density of the towel. High quality Turkish cotton towels are generally heavier and are more absorbent.
Towels can vary anywhere between 300 GSM and 900 GSM. The lower the number, the lighter and thinner the towel. For instance:
300-400 GSM – In this weight, as noted, the towels are lighter and thinner. But, depending on its use, you might want a lower GSM for the gym towel or a kitchen towel. A lightweight, quicker-drying beach towel might be around 350 GSM, for instance.
400-600 GSM – This is a medium weight. This weight is great for beach towels, bath towels, guest towels and so forth. Each consecutive gram weight –400, 500, 600– gets a little heavier, and a little more absorbent.
600-900 GSM – This is a premium, luxury weight. The towel will be denser, heavier, more absorbent. It will probably take a little longer to dry.
Other factors that will influence the towel's softness and absorbency are: type of cotton, whether the manufacturer uses a polyester blend (as we say here at The Turkish Towel Company "Ixnay on the olyesterpay!"), whether the cotton is a single or double loop, and so on.
Which GSM Weight is Right For Me?
Assuming the towel is made from quality Turkish cotton, what GSM is right for you? That's a harder question to answer…
For instance, our Lexi towels are 600 GSM. A single loop cotton, they offer good absorbency, and have a slightly shaggier feel to them. This shaggier finish offers a more invigorating experience when drying off. They also dry a little quicker.
On the other hand, the Zenith and Mini Squares lines are 700 GSM and made from double-loop cotton. They are more absorbent, and have a smoother finish. They are incredibly soft, and a very high-end bath product.
So, what GSM is right for you? There are no rights or wrongs here; put seven people in a room, and you will get seven different answers. Anything over 600 GSM becomes a matter of personal taste and lifestyle.
Customer Reviews
How we can calculate the weight of the towels , if we know only the GSM & size of the towel
I bought eight of everything, bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths. They say wash before using, I washed them, again and again, about four times now, still I have lint on my body and all over the tile floor. What to do, I love them, they are the perfect color, but I can't deal with all the lint.
Thanks. The information is quite informative. Just to understand how is GSM calculated. Can you please help me with this
Really good article, thanks for the new data i didnt know before about GSM where you have simplified it, i will take care about the gsm in my next shopping
can u please send me details of GSM in towels
Gsm, size, weight, material. then the price is clear.
Hi John,
There are so many factors to consider, not just the type of cotton (Turkish, Egyptian, US, etc.) but how it manufactured, length, uniformity, strength and so on.
Here is a little more information:
How Does Turkish Cotton Compare to Egyptian Cotton?
Egyptian Cotton is known for its absorbency, which is especially suited for apparel and sheets. However, in towels too much absorbency means that a towel remains wet long after use. Also, towels that are too absorbent tend to become wet in humid climates all by themselves.
Turkish Cotton provides the perfect balance between absorbency and softness which makes it the best cotton to be used in towels.
Turkish Cotton, when used in towels, provides maximum absorbency and efficient drying.
Hope that helps…
The Turkish Towel Company
Hi Ted,
We've never thought of using our luxury towels for car detailing, but they would never scratch the paint – these are very soft, durable, hotel-quality towels.
Are these 900 gsm towels good for auto detailing and are they pure cotton so they won't scratch the paint?
if possible without being biased what is the difference in cotton quality between countries and do you have a table say best to worst.
Every time I buy towels, I see these tag and now I understand what gsm means. Thank you!
You have a wide array of collections with a reasonable price tag. Informative post.
Thank you for your explanation. I was about to purchase some towels when I saw the GSM acronym. Your explanation is very helpful, now I know I need to check the towels I have so that I can get something similar if not the same.
Thanks again.

Santorum: After Debate, 'We Sense a Lot of Energy Today'
Rick Santorum, ebullient after his Thursday night debate performance, said his momentum was building and he was staying in the race for the long haul.
"We're optimistic; we sense a lot of energy today," Mr. Santorum told reporters Friday after speaking to the Latin Builders Association in Miami. He cited "a lot of positive feedback from last night," saying that "people are searching for that convicted conservative."
The builder's association endorsed Mr. Santorum after he spoke, adding to the mood. Both Mr. Santorum and Mr. Gingrich had addressed the group; Mr. Romney was invited but didn't come. But after Mr. Santorum's speech, the group's 25 directors backed Mr. Santorum after huddling in a room.
"It was very spirited and very heated," said Bernie Navarro, the president of the group, which has 850 member companies representing about 20,000 people. He said some wanted to endorse Mr. Gingrich, but Mr. Santorum's appearance before the group tipped the scale. "He very focused on Latin America, which is where we are trying to take this association" as the U.S. economy has faltered.
Mr. Santorum's crowds in Florida have been gradually building. Florida's Republican Party has insisted that the winner will take all 50 delegates, but on Friday the former Pennsylvania senator jumped into the intraparty battle over allocating delegates.
"This is a winner-take all state – unless it's not," Mr. Santorum said in an interview with CNN. In the event the delegates are awarded by congressional district, Mr. Santorum said, "we have been … campaigning very hard in certain areas of the state that we think that we can do particularly well in." He said that "the more and more I look at this, the more and more I think it's likely that this race is going to go on a long time and those few delegates that we might be able to pull out of here in Florida…even if we don't win … might be very, very important for us."
Voters were eager to talk about Mr. Santorum's debate performance. "I changed my mind," said 44-year-old Luis Montoto, who is in the wine industry and heard Mr. Santorum speak at the Latin builder's conference. "I'm voting for Rick."
His wife, Maylen Montoto, 45, rushed over to Mr. Santorum to shake his hand as he left. "We like his family values," said Mrs. Montoto, director of community relations for Catholic Hospice in Miami.
Alicia Speight, a 51-year-old Miami resident who is a member of the Latin builders' group, switched from Mr. Romney to Mr. Santorum. "I'm not happy that Romney didn't show up, and Santorum showed me a side of him that I hadn't seen before," she said, adding: "He understands the issues — foreign policy, Latin America, the needs of the people if this country."
Mr. Santorum said his campaign raised more than $100,000 online alone in the last 12 hours and that his campaign was setting up staffing in a "whole bunch of different states." "We're in great shape," he told reporters.
He returns to Pennsylvania, his home state, on Friday for a couple of fund-raisers but plans to return to Florida on Sunday. He batted down any suggestion that he would be willing to serve in one of his rival's administration's, saying it was the presidency or nothing. "I will take on Speaker Gingrich and Ron Paul and Mitt Romney," Mr. Santorum said in the CNN interview. "I have no desire to be anything in anybody's cabinet."

Changing in Marriage
Abby Dryer | Sep 28, 2011 | Comments 2
Last week's article on communication sparked a few conversations here at Good Husbanding, and an overwhelming question surrounded why women expect their husbands to change, while husbands expect their wives not to change. I'm going to do my best to explain.
Please note: this is my attempt at explaining a very complicated situation. Every situation is different, and every woman is very complex. If you really want to understand your own situation, feel free to use this article as a conversation piece with your wife so that you two can talk it out together.
First, to get the simple part out of the way. Why do men not expect their lady to change after the wedding? Because he fell in love with the person he proposed to! If he wanted something different, he wouldn't have proposed to her – he would have found someone else.
Now… the complicated part. Why do women expect their husbands to change? The fact is, women don't accept a proposal from the man she wants to be with forever. She accepts a proposal from the potential that this particular suitor has. If she can see that with a few 'small' tweaks, this man could be her Prince Charming, then she will marry him. Marriage is sort of considered a blank check to make whatever changes she deems necessary to live 'happily ever after'.
"But doesn't she love me for who I am? Aren't I perfect just the way I am?"
Unfortunately, no. Nobody is perfect. Everyone has the potential to improve somehow. She loved you enough to see the potential in you, and in her own (often misguided way) she is trying to help you. If you see her making changes that you don't agree with, talk to her about it. You should be able to come to an agreement as to what changes are a good idea, and which changes are not really something you see yourself doing.
If she is helping you become a real-life grownup, helping you to learn from your own experiences and grow as an individual, I wouldn't fight it. Moreover, you should also be helping her to become a real-life grownup – guiding her through her own life experiences and helping her grow as an individual. You didn't just get a legal piece of paper and expensive piece of jewelry… you have agreed to become each others' guide and partner through life. You both are going to change somehow. Try to change together!
"But I loved her just the way she was when I proposed to her! She was perfect! Why did everything have to change?"
Well, this is a two-part issue. First, I don't believe that she was perfect. If she was, she was putting on a show for you – which is inherently NOT perfect. If she was trying to fit into a mold to please you, she wasn't being true to herself. Many women are guilty of this, and it is not your fault. They feel it is the only way to catch themselves a husband. This also explains why she 'changed' after the wedding… she changed back into herself because she already had you.
For the single guys reading this, the only way to avoid this trap is to communicate with your lady. Facades don't really last the test of time, and if you take a step back far enough, you can tell that you don't have the whole picture. Talk to her and really get to know her deep down. It's the only way to be sure that you know the real woman.
Second, it's unreasonable to assume that someone isn't going to change with time. With Time comes Life Experiences – Life Experiences create the need to Adapt and Learn. With Adaptations and Learning come Changes. The hope is that as your lives unfold, you will share life experiences together, and work together to adapt and learn whatever life has to teach you. If you choose not to adapt and learn, she'll have to do it on her own… which means she'll change and you won't. Neither of you will be happy.
Change is inevitable. Growth is optional. If you want to live Happily Ever After, you need to work to grow together through all of the changes that life presents.

About the Author: Abby Dryer's goal in life is to bridge the communication gap between men and women. She finds herself giving lots of marital advice to her guy friends whose wives don't want to have to explain *everything* to their husbands. "Women are hard to understand. I'm a woman, and *I* don't even get us sometimes! Goodhusbanding is a great guide to help men understand their women, and hopefully communicate with a little more confidence, because that's what works… communication!"

#1 Consumer Suggestion
Bad Marketing, Good Product
AUTHOR: The Main Gatekeeper - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, February 23, 2013POSTED: Saturday, February 23, 2013
I bought one today at a Walmart Neighborhood Market ($10.88 + tax) while grocery shopping, and the product works great. I drove over 200 miles today and haven't had any problems.
My advice is twofold:
Sellers - STOP USING dishonest marketing techniques to make an extra buck. In the long run, a customer with bad experience with your company - while paying for something they DIDN'T want in the first place - will leave a bad taste in their mouths for your company and will guarantee no repeat business or referrals from that individual in the future.
Buyers - Save yourself a lot of grief, have a little patience and 9 times out of 10, the product your in such a hurry to acquire will pop up in the "as seen on TV" section in your local Wally-World or drugstore (hint hint). The benefits of doing it this way are 1.) You get to see the product and hod it in your own two hands. 2.) You have the option of only buying one item, not being forced to purchase two or more of them. 3.) The store price is usually lower then the TV advertised price by at least 10%, plus there IS NO SHIPPING costs. 4.) If for ANY reason you're not satisfied with what you bought, you can return it - in person - and get your money back immediately. AND LAST BUT MY FAVORITE - 5.) You Do NOT have to give out your personal/credit card information to someone on the other side of the country.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Chelsea's Cahill May Miss Finals With Leg Injury, Express Says
Chelsea defender Gary Cahill may miss the F.A. Cup and Champions League finals because of a hamstring injury, the Daily Express said.
Cahill was hurt in Chelsea's Champions League semifinal win over Barcelona four days ago. The normal recovery time for the injury is four weeeks, leaving him in doubt for next weekend's F.A. Cup final against Liverpool and the Champions League final against Bayern Munich on May 19, the Express said.
"We hope and we will try to get Gary back fit as soon as possible," Chelsea interim manager Roberto Di Matteo said. "But at the moment it's difficult to put a date on it."
Chelsea's defense will be without the suspended John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic in the Champions League final. David Luiz is also just returning from two weeks out with a hamstring injury.

- "Yank the Band-Aid Off in One Go." This works on the idea that the longer you take to down it, the more like a Bosch painting the inside of your mouth is going to be. This was employed by the guy who looks a lot like FFN's Nelson, and while he finished first, he walked around a lot. He also said blowing his nose afterwards was a mistake.
- "Milkshake Fire Brigade." Another finisher's method was to eat with a chocolate shake nearby with a few of its twin siblings standing by. It didn't deaden the pain much, but it seemed to help keep his biology from rebelling, perhaps via some kind of reward system.
- "Failure is not an Option." This is a test of will, and was successful for our third finisher. In spite of the heat, the trembling jaw muscles, and the way the lights seemed to dim with each bite, our hero made it across the finish line just by not giving into the complaints from his nervous system.
I got halfway through and employed the "I Don't Want to Buy a Case of Charmin" strategy, and decided that when my food feels like it wants to go out through the front of my torso rather than up or down, it might be time to give up on the free t-shirt. Even though the restaurant is just a few blocks away from a hospital, I thought there was a chance that the burger would be hot enough to cause my cell phone to lose signal at a critical moment, so I embraced my failure. I was told later that this might have been a wiser strategy, as the human body can't process all of the capsaicin (the stuff that makes hot stuff hot), and there are only two quite sensitive exit routes for the excess. A metaphor of unburned gasoline exploding in a car muffler was used as a teaching aid for this concept.
Anyway, if you love spicy stuff around the 7 million scoville range, this is the burger for you. It loses anything resembling flavor other than "licking Ghost Rider's habanero-covered head" about three bites in, but hey, free t-shirt if you make it!
As if we don't have enough ways to drain our wallets, Steam has just unveiled its mobile app for buying games. You can chat with friends and do forum stuff, too, but that seems similar to advertising a movie theater as a place to enjoy the smell of buttered popcorn. But what if you're a console-oriented gamer who'd like to enjoy the Steam experience without having to use a PC to play? Valve seems to be working on that part of the market as well. I'm not sure that blog post is accurate about "keeping PC gaming alive," though. True, it's a major contributor to the platform, and this article from the latter part of last year seems to bear out that PC gamers are alive and well. Still, I just prefer the interface possibilities via a computer (which I can use with a game controller, if I so choose) over the various consoles I've owned, but that's just me. I'm actually more concerned about computer operating systems being turned oversized smartphone OS's, which seems an odd fit for a desktop device. I should also note that I detest fingerprints on my screens, so I may be a bit biased in not wanting oily digits involved with opening Photoshop or something. :)
Hmmm... I may have understated that warning from my stomach earlier, as I seem to have some kind of high seas adventure going on in my digestive system. I hope that there's something pink in our medicine cabinet, or I might have to rely on the hypothesis that any pink substance is appropriate for this situation. I'll start with unraveling some of my wife's socks and work my way up from there. In case I don't recover, let these be my parting thoughts:
- I don't know if I'll even have time to try it out, but the upcoming online game, Hawken makes me think a Mechwarrior movie would be pretty awesome.
- Somehow I don't think we're going to see fictional drug dealers no longer using their ill-gotten gains to open bars or night clubs just because a real-life one wanted to open a comic shop.
- With all of the exoplanets we're discovering, a way of using spectral analysis might show us which ones have plant life. Let me know when they can tell me if it's just stuff like corn and trees vs. the ones that can walk around and eat your brains.
- Steven Moffat hints at (spoilers ahoy) what's coming when Sherlock returns. Though other than how the last season ended, he doesn't say a whole lot that's specific.
- Even though it's not meant to be a send-up of Mr. Holmes, the trailer for more Dirk Gently program(me)s makes me think they'd be great to watch back-to-back.
- Boom Balloon is a fun little game where you have to cut the strings to balloons, making sure that somewhere along their ascent they get popped. It's harder than it sounds...
- The hacker's dream with the semi-cute name, the Pwnie is a disguised power plug that does some pretty scary stuff for not a lot of cash.
- A pair of Game of Thrones trailers for you: First, the second season two trailer from HBO. Then there's the Disney version of the previous trailer.
- Based on averages, if you actually read all of the privacy policies you encountered in one year, it would take you 76 work days to finish. [ ]Click here if you have read and agree with this and wish to continue. :)
- And now, animation. Even if you didn't play the "Best games of 2012," you can enjoy a lot of them in Lego stop-motion format. Then we've got The Story of Animation, a cartoon showing how animated cartoons are created (and how much they can cost).
- Taking the place of the words/phrases that everyone assumed started tape recorders rolling if said over the phone is this list of words that the DHS is searching for on social media sites.
- If you think your fantasy novel is bad, check out what Tolkien thought of his own work.
- Evil Asteroids 2 is a particle-flow game where you direct planetary... um... output, I guess, at the titular evil asteroids so they explode.

When is the best time to take Vasotec? AM or PMREAD MORE
Best time to take Vasotec
S. Robinson,
Thanks for your question.
Vasotec (enalapril) is an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor the blocks the conversion of Angiotensin into a more powerful hormone that causes salt and water retention in the kidney. The result of this is more salt and water is allowed to be released and this lowers blood pressure. It also causes blood vessels to dilate a bit, which also lowers pressure. This is a long acting medication and can be taken with or without food. It can be taken at any time of day, morning or evening, but it is important to take it at the same time each day. So, get into a routine of taking your medication at a time that you won't forget. Ideally, this is at meal time, and for most people they have breakfast at home and place their medication on the table to help prevent forgetfulness. What ever system works for you is fine.
I hope this has been helpful. Best wishes.
Martin Cane, M.D.

Greg Mitchell on media, politics, film, music, TV, comedy and more. "Not here, not here the darkness, in this twittering world." -- T.S. Eliot
Monday, July 30, 2012
More from Babbling Brooks
Tuesday column from David Brooks--not yet on the NYT home page--scores the "dullest" campaign ever, in his view. Some of his points rinf true, but false equivalence runs rampant and he happily cites nutty Peggy Noonan not once but twice. Favorite line has to be, in a section on the "intellectual innovation" days of olde: George W. Bush going deep with the claim of being "a Compassionate Conservative." Anyway, David Brooks calling something dull has to be contender for biggest pot calling a kettle black.

I would like the images in my circles to always be in color even if it is faded before hovering. Is it possible to make this happen?
I would like the images in my circles to always be in color even if it is faded before hovering. Is it possible to make this happen?
Sure, in your Custom CSS section of the dashboard, enter this;
.hentry.no-thumbnail {
background: #444;
If you don't have a Custom CSS section, download and install this Custom CSS Manager plugin. That plugin should give you that section of the dashboard.
Thanks for your help, but I guess I should have explained that I am a TOTAL novice at this. Can you give me some more explanation about how to get to that portion of the CSS manager?
Okay. This is an example of what you should be seeing [screenshot] in the Custom CSS Manager section of the dashboard.
Instead of the code in the example screenshot, copy and paste the code I recommended in there.
Well at least I did one thing right. I did that, but it didn't change anything. My photo is still in grayscale until I hover over it.
May you link the webpage with the issue?
http://flowersbyzachlow.com/ I am just starting the site now
Instead of that code I recommended above, try this;
.blog .hentry a .attachment-post-thumbnail {
filter: grayscale(0);
-webkit-filter: grayscale(0);
-webkit-filter: grayscale(0);
perfect, thank you so much. Any ideas on how to make the white part of that screen black? I believe it is a part of the header. I can change the color of the text but not the background. At least that I know of
Try adding this;
#page {
background: transparent;
Working great, now what about the header text, it still only gets bright when hovering?
#masthead {
opacity: 1;
Thank you so much for all of your help. I'm sure I will need more, but don't want to be a mooch (for now) :0)
Hi just wondering if its possible to have the circle blog posts on the front page but also to have a full blog page which will show all my blog posts on one page? I'm abit of a newbie. Is this possible?
Many thanks
sam :)
It's probably best to create your own thread to discuss that.
Sorry haha I didn't realize it was a reply I was posting!
:) That's alright.
Changing the colors of the main circles worked great! There are 2 things I'd like to do too.
How do I change the color of the circle when I hover (from dark gray to a color I choose)?
How do I change the color of the circle at the bottom which leads to the widgets I added?
Hi Andrew,
I've installed the CSS Manager you recommended but it doesn't seem to have been added to my settings menu on the dash board. Any clues where it's gone?
Thanks very much

The Montreal makeover continues. After bringing back Michel Therrien for his second stint behind the Canadiens bench on Tuesday, Montreal is set to add Martin Lapointe as the club's new director of player development, TSN reported on Wednesday. Lapointe spent three seasons on the opposite side of hockey's fiercest rivalry, playing in Boston from 2001-04. Lapointe came to the Bruins on one of the most infamous free agent deals of the pre-lockout era, cashing in on a career year with the Red Wings when he tallied 27 goals and 57 points in 2000-01 with a four-year, $20 million deal with the Bruins.
Lapointe Joins Canadiens Front Office

Flower Power TRIO Love Peace Happiness is my fourth make for the KNIPster 2016 sewing award run by KNIPmode. We, the contestants had to make an outfit with flower design fabrics. I've used a combination of elements of the Flower Power period of the previous century and today patterns. My inspiration for my 6-piece gored skirt came from two skirts found on the internet and has pockets in the front side parts. All seams have piping made of the fabric that was used for the blouse. The blouse collar and the sleeves have small white stripe of broderie Anglaise fabric with small flowers. The blue T-shirt is finished with a hand embroidered flower design made with pale blue paillettes. If you like my make and want to help me to become KNIPster 2016 you can vote here.

The main thing is to keep them busy and working with their hands. Our event is from 8 – noon. That is plenty long. Be sure to invite the parents to help and come learn also.
Site selection should be a well mowed and easily accessed area.
We always feed the Greewings, parents and volunteers hotdogs, chips, cookies and soft drinks.
Make sure each child goes home with a bag of goodies. By that I mean ...stickers, candy bars, puddler magazines, wetland activity book, DU pencils, waterfowl id posters, buttons, pins, etc. Anything will work but NEVER SEND A GREENWING HOME WITHOUT ANYTHING IN HAND.
We give a free Greenwing membership to every child that comes as well as those unable to attend.
For volunteers there are several resources. Outside agencies that frequently help include ... local IDNR i.e. wildlife biologist, conservation officers, US Forrest service, IDNR parks, lakes and recreation area personnel. Also look to local conservation agencies or clubs
Ask your local businesses to donate money to defray costs. Frequently they will help the kids. Local business like Wal-Mart, soft drink distributors, McDonalds etc. will frequently support the event. I'm sure there is more I have forgotten at the moment but this is a start..
Put the event in the local papers, radio stations will run the event as a public service announcement. Make up flyers to distribute. Invite cub scout groups, girl scouts, brownies, boy scouts to attend. They like this and it helps them get badges and the like.

Your machine may be infected with Xnxx, if you have the following symptoms:
*Note: Symptoms tend to vary depending on software installed on your system and other system factors.
Symptom #1: A questionable red or green icon appears in your system tray next to the system clock, representing a newly installed program which you do not recall ever downloading. If you click on the icon a fake system alert popup will direct you to Xnxx's website. In some cases, even when you don't click on the icon the fake system alert may still pop up.
Symptom #2: The questionable icon pops up a fake system alert that lures you into downloading Xnxx program by stating that your computer is infected with dangerous spyware and that you should download Xnxx program to remove the alleged infection. The false system alert may read:

- Find and kill the following Xnxx process:
- Once you've identified the Xnxx process, press DEL on your keyboard or click End Process to kill it from your system.
Step #3: Use PsKill to Kill a Process
Sometimes a parasite can disable your Windows Task Manager so you can use pslist and pskill (a third party application by Mark Russinovich) to list and kill the unwanted processes.
- Download PsKill or PsList.
- Extract the program from the .Zip archive.
- Move pskill.exe to your C: drive.
