James, 30
Ask "is it in yet?"
Craig, 29
If he comes too soon, you need to be patient. Don't laugh or get frustrated.
Nick, 30
Don't feel insecure about your body.
Kurt, 26
I only have two turnoffs: a girl that likes it too rough (when I didn't want to slap a girl in the face she accused me of being gay) and when a girl wants to kiss me after oral–that freaks me out!
Daniel, 27
The one thing a woman should never to in bed is get in bed too soon. Once a guy gets sex out of you you're no longer fun and they move on.
Larry, 41
If she's not clean down there.
Craig, 27
Loose pussy
Swanson, 31
Stick anything in my ass without asking!
Matt, 29
Cameron, 30
Ask how my dad is doing
John, 31
Lots of guys are very insecure in bed and are threatened by a woman who is adventurous. I know many woman who have told me how as soon as the guy realizes they are willing to try almost anything they freak out.
Cory, 22
Kissing after oral sex.
Shawn, 25
"pillow princesses." If I go down on you, you should go down on me.
Brandon, 22
My biggest pet peeve is when she strokes my cock too hard and fast. Take it easy!
Joseph, 35
I would propose that any sexual act you can think of–there is a significant group of men for whom this is a fetish. So any answer is just my own individual preference.
Jon, 32
A woman that ridicules the size of her lover's dick, or sensitive body part: not someone to return to.
Ross, 30
Mike, 23
Fart or talk too much
Aaron, 29
Call me another man's name. Also she can laugh with me but she can't laugh at me.
Mark, 27
The worst thing a girl has ever done was call me someone else's name.
Bryan, 28
Ask "did you cum yet?" or "is it in?"
Pete, 25
I was having a one-time hookup with a girl and as we were about to have sex she said "make love to me." I was so taken aback and turned off that I didn't enjoy the sex at all.
James, 26
Demanding not to use a condom–it screams that you want to have a baby.
Josh, 28
Acting like a corpse and being still and silent.
Chris, 28
Don't put your clothes back on after, tell him to hurry, answer a text during sex or talk about other topics.
Jason, 27
I'd have to say when a girl tells me to say something dirty, all of a sudden I feel like it needs to turn into a raunchy dialog. It's too much pressure.
Steve, 24
John, 26
Laugh while having sex
Mike, 27
Have bad hygiene. It needs to be perfect, as does the mans.
Andy, 28
Be too aggressive.
Paul, 28
Everyone has different tastes. One guy may want you to put a finger in his ass and the next may go soft at the word "ass."
Ryan, 27
Never stick a finger in a guys ass unless you know for sure he will like it!
Richard, 35
Talk. Just moan.
Rick, 30
Pass gas while receiving oral…
Bruce, 28
Jason, 27
Compare me to an ex.
Ryan, 26
I would say commenting on the size or lack thereof of his package. But otherwise I'd like to think I'm pretty open minded and can't really think of anything that would be a deal breaker.
Dustin, 30
In my experience I would say you should never just lay there and let the guy do all the work. I don't know about other guys but I can't get into it unless the girl is also.
George, 34
She has to be clean, not use her teeth during oral, not be too controlling, and not just lay there.
Mike, 27
Put out too soon.
Ben, 29
Be hairy down below.
Devin, 28
Every guy is different, some are horned up enough to fuck anything that moves and others require reciprocation from the girl to even keep it up. I was with this girl that just laid there, not making a sound and completely expressionless. Didn't like kissing, had absolutely zero passion. Mad it feel like I was forcing her to do it, that she didn't even like it, and as a result I couldn't keep it up. She blamed me for that, said that I apparently had ED.
Garrett, 28
Point between my legs and giggle!
Steve, 29
Danny, 24
Ask to bring another guy into bed.
Mark, 28
Pee the bed because she's drunk.
Jon, 24
There isn't a universal thing, it totally depends on the guy–there are so many different preferences. Sex is like pizza, people like it even if it's bad.
Thomas, 29
Farting during sex.
Bill, 31
Be a prude.
Mike, 27
Surprise me with having a dick.
Joe, 27
Every guy has different likes and dislikes, for me I don't want a who seems embarrassed about sex. I want an adult woman who owns her choices.
Bryan, 24
Don't lay there and make him do all the work!
Derrick, 28
Um… unless she turns out to be a stalker it's pretty much all good.
Jackson, 31
The biggest turnoff is a woman who emasculates you. That's my dealbreaker. I don't think there's anything worse than that.
Luis, 22
Lay there and not do anything.
Andy, 29
Fart during oral or get a case of the giggles while looking at a guy's dick.
David, 32
The one thing you should never do in bed is nothing! Try whatever you want! Everyone has something that turns them off and other things that turn them off, you won't know until you try it!
Alex, 29
If she pooped… total dealbreaker.
Aaron, 27
We are a lot more fragile than most women think… if you ever break a man's confidence in his "performance" good chance you'll lose him forever. That's cruel.
Kevin, 29
Scream another man's name.
Ask "is it in yet?" when it is.
Tucker, 27
Smell bad down there.
Chad, 31
Say "I love you" for the first time.
Jon, 32
Go to sleep while your partner has a hard on, on a regular basis.
Matthew, 28
Never fart in bed before or after sex. Seriously.
Jim, 33
Have poor hygiene
Jeremy, 25
Anything involving non-sexy bodily functions.
Rob, 28
Farting is the only thing I can think of.
Any guy who answers this is dumb, it is different for every person.
Denny, 27
Never say the name of your ex. Total sex drive crusher.
Dan, 30
Complain about your life, give it up too easily, be too much of a prude.
Jeremiah, 29
Never, ever, use shit in a sex act.
Jeff, 24
Talk. Men don't like talking.
Josh, 28
Never laugh at his penis. And don't bite it.
Matt, 35
Fart or ask if their wife is as good as you are.
Justin, 31
You can't mess up sex.
Mike, 27
Fart or say I love you. Or throw up.
Darnell, 28
Don't ever lick my ass.
Chris, 27
Fart ha ha
Jay, 31
Men will forgive just about anything except being made to feel inadequate. Always make him feel like he is doing a good job.
Drew, 28
Fart, just lay there, or smell bad.
Dan, 27
Don't touch my ass.
Be hairy and untrimmed. It's gross.
Lane, 34
There is nothing worse than a woman who is not fresh down there.
Michael, 27
Keep your teeth off my cock and your fingers out of my ass.
Pete, 26
I can't think of a thing a woman has done in bed that I didn't like.
Steve, 29
Say anything about my body that isn't affirming.
Brad, 27
Be disinterested or lazy! I will never go back for seconds. Those girls are the worst.
Ben, 33
Every man is different but I don't like a girl to be hairy.
Wayne, 36
Just lay there, squeeze my balls or use toys without warning.
Jake, 23
Don't put anything in my butt!
Bill, 24
Text or answer a call during sex.
Jared, 30
I can't be with a woman who is bad at kissing.
Adam, 28
It changes with every guy.
Scott, 31
Get in bed too soon.
Eric, 28
As "is it in yet?" Alluding to the fact that the man you're with isn't big enough, that's tough to come back from.
Aaron, 28
Have a bad odor down there.
Shahid, 30
Once you're naked everything you do is good. This question is stupid.
Brian, 27
One girl pooped during sex. During doggy style. I'm still recovering.
Tom, 24
The only thing is making fun of his size. And don't compare him while you're going at it.
Michael, 25
Say she hopes she gets pregnant!

World's First Wave Energy Project Goes Commercial
The world's first commercial wave energy facility has begun operations in Portugal, after Babcock & Brown, Energias de Portugal, Efacec, and Pelamis Wave Power inaugurated the facility in late September. Located about 3 miles off the coast, the facility consists of three Pelamis Wave Energy Convertors, which each consist of four large semi-submerged cylinders connected to each other by hinged joints and moored to the ocean floor. As waves pass, the hinges bend, driving hydraulic rams that pump high-pressure oil through hydraulic motors to generate power. Each Pelamis device can generate 750 kilowatts of power, so the current facility can produce 2.25 megawatts. Future plans call for the addition of another 25 devices, bringing the total capacity of the facility to 21 megawatts. See the press release from Pelamis Wave Power.
Tidal energy technologies are also advancing, and in late September, ScottishPower Renewables announced its plans to develop the world's largest tidal stream projects. The company is evaluating three separate coastal sites in Scotland and Ireland, each of which could be outfitted with 5-20 tidal turbines. Each turbine has a capacity of 1 megawatt, so the three sites have a potential to offer a combined capacity of 60 megawatts. The projects will employ the Lànstrøm tidal turbine, an underwater open turbine developed by Hammerfest Strøm AS. The developments should give people plenty to talk about at the International Conference on Ocean Energy (ICOE) 2008, which starts today in France. See the Scottish Power press release and the ICOE 2008 Web site.

I think it's a little silly that we are discussing the 'politeness' of blogging - I thought the entire MO 'of blogging' was to vent or relate to each other with respect and courtesy --- withOUT a bunch of 'rules.' To me, it doesn't matter if someone replies to me directly or not - I get satisfaction that I can "say my piece" and be anonymous and that's it.... :-?

I agree about being polite 'in the real world,' We can make the world better through small niceties and should pass it on to our children by being an example.

The traffic rudeness always ticks me off. If I make room for you to wedge your car in front of me, all I ask is for a little wave. How hard is that?

And while I'm so forgetful with thank you notes (rude, I know...I beat myself up over it) I try to make up for it in other ways. I do insist on manners for my daughters. Mira's first phrase was "thank you" and I'm proud of that one.

i thought of this post yesterday...Pregnant Woman (me) holding a toddlers hand (pullign toddler along), pushing a stroller, LIMPING with an ace bandage wrapped around a destroyed ankle...and a restaurant employee shoves several chairs in front of the (visibly in pain) Pregnant Woman while trying to walk out, doesnt move them even when asked and then while struggling to move the chairs herself, keep toddler from running away and opening the restaurant door while pushing the stroller all on one leg, two men comment- from right next to her: "wow, that looks exhausting." If she had the energy Pregnant Woman would have smacked them.

I truly believe that not everyone knows how to be polite. There are people that go through life only thinking of themselves and nobody else. I think it's important to teach proper behavior to our kids so they don't grow up to be rude adults.

Scene: airport security, Hartford, CT.
 I am struggling to hold my 10 month old wiggler, keep an eye on my 5 year old, hoist our bags onto the conveyor belt, get shoes, belt, liquids, etc into the tray, and fold the stroller to go through the x-ray. I politely but in a strained voice ask the TSA worker (male, probably late 20s) "Hey, can you give me a hand?"

He starts clapping.

CLAPPING?!?!?! What an asshat. Then, he also did not help me. I had to be polite so as not to be whisked back for a quick feel-up, but SRSLY. I cannot even believe how shitty he was.

Re: Comments on blogs.

It's my understanding that most blogs (or blog posts) are intended as conversation starters. It's a call to action to your particular community (in this case, mommies). The comment section is a necessary part of this. Whether a response comes from the blogger or another reader, the point remains the same: to get people talking.

I'm a thank you note nazi. I get made fun of for keeping in touch with people and remembering important dates. I totally get this post as I hate not getting 'the wave' returned when driving, etc.

That being said, last night I realized my dog was loose and had been gone quite some time. Half my block came together at 9 at night to look for her. One watched my girls while I searched for the dog. Another few knocked on doors looking for the dog. Through a few clues from people who had seen her (in the morning!) We found the house she was staying at 2 streets over. My dog was lovingly being cared for by another family. They were at that very moment creating flyers to post the next day. I felt so touched and amazed by all that kindness from friends nad total strangers.

I'm totally writing that family a thank you note today and personally walking it over there.

And yes, my dog is now wearing her collar again. Whew!

re: bloggers responding to posts

IMO, as a reader and sometime commenter on many different sorts of blogs (but not a writer of one): No response necessary.

If I've felt the need to comment on your blog, it's pretty much a closed loop. If I want conversations, I'll chat on one of the many listservs and usergroups I'm a member of. Or, go to Facebook and converse with people I am related to or have some deeper connection to than their blog makes me laugh. (there are a few bloggers I wouldn't mind knowing better tho'.)

A few years ago, when most of the bloggers seemed to be reading and commenting on each others blogs, it really irritated me as it just seemed like everyone was fluffing up everyone else's numbers. Some sets of blogs collectively read like the notes passed between some clique at school. It's great that so many of bloggers know and love each other, but, keep in mind that non-blogger readers can be turned off by too much in-crowd chit-chat.

I have a couple blogs I DON'T post on b/c I feel I'm creating work for an already overworked person. KNowing that posts have slowed down a lot since the new baby/job loss, etc., and the remaining posts are about not keeping up, I hate to add to their to-do list.

I've gotten replies from people who haven't included my comment or a link or even their blog name. Since I may not be on-line for days at a time, by the time I get such replies, I have no idea who they are, what they said, what I commented. So, the effort on their part was pointless.

People are just plain rude. Here, even people who are working in the service industry are rude. I can't tell you how many times, when I'm buying something, I get told "here you go" when the person hands me my receipt. I worked retail for 10 years and you can bet that I thanked my customers.

Supposedly people in the Midwest are supposed to be nicer (than who? Don't know.) but they are not. I've thought about ways to reward the few polite people that still exist, but my ideas are generally not feasable.

And on the flip side of the holding doors, when someone holds a door for you...say THANK YOU.

@ Maureen -
 Yours is no small gripe, literally. I completely cannot believe that no one gives up their seat on the bus to a visibly pregnant woman. I ride the bus to and from work everyday, and am only 9 weeks pregnant, and I don't hesitate to tell the youngsters that like to fill up the front seats to slide over or get up because my morning sick self is going to sit down. Even before I was pregnant, most of the time when the bus is full, men give up their seats for women, and younger for older, etc., with only limited reminders needed. And I live in the hood! (although it is a midwestern hood)

I always try to be conscious of who is coming in or going out of an establishment when I'm at the door, and if someone is nearby, I hold the door. I don't even really care who it is, though I'll definitely make more of an effort - wait longer, or go to the door even if I weren't going there anyway - for someone like a mom struggling to wrangle her kids, or an elderly person with a walker, or someone equally deserving of extra effort. Still, though, I hold the door for pretty much anyone.

One time, I held the door at Starbucks for this middle-aged man. He walked through looking at me sort of bewildered. "Thanks," he said. Then he stopped and said, "Wow, no one's ever held a door for me before." I was SHOCKED. How could someone go 40+ years of life without ever having a door held for them?

It's a sad world we live in sometimes.

Interestingly, one of your previous posts inspired me to write one very similar to what you're saying now. Your post about your sister being too busy to call Quinlan on her birthday made me stop and think about how, with two kids, I'm really busy, but that's no excuse to not call and say thank you or even shoot an e-mail to my mom to say hi.

Thanks for the ongoing inspiration. Rude people suck, and I hope I'm not too busy to notice when I'm being the rude one.

These types of things drive me nuts! My kids' daycare is in the same building as a city-run senior apartment complex. You better believe that if there is a resident within half a block of the door that my 5 year old will (be told to) hold the door open for them (out of the way of their walkers, too). We have the responsibility as parents to teach our kids these simple acts of decency. Shame on the big dude for not using that opportunity to teach his son a lesson in common courtesy.

BTW, the other one that really pisses me off: speeding up to get ahead of me when you see me turn on my turn signal. Because, you know, that extra car length is really going to get you to your destination faster. Grrr...

It's constantly surprising, the incivility that runs rampant through the populace. Someone flipped me th bird the other day, because I waited for another car to exit the parking lot first.

While I can be a complete ass most days, Thank You and Please are daily words. Because it's the right thing to do.

And my kids know damn well that they are to be respectful of others.

Yes. Being polite is a constant teaching point. Although I continue to struggle with getting "Thank You" notes out to folks, I am right on task about acknowledging kindnesses right in front of us. The kids know to say "Thank You" to anyone who holds the door open for us and they hold the door for anyone coming in/out of a store. Great point to bring up for the day!

Heh. I fell down the stairs at work and landed sideways on my ankle and it hurt. Badly. Like tears leaking out, almost hyperventilating, can't stand. A guy walked past me asked if I was okay (duh), I said I had just sprained my ankle. He says, "Oh." and TURNS AROUND AND WALKS AWAY.

(Turns out I actually had an avulsion fracture from that)

I was about 30 weeks pregnant and crossing the street at work where they were doing construction so the road was really uneven. A woman crossing the other way tripped over the pavement and her stuff went flying. Even though there were about 30 other people around (including many of my own coworkers) I was the only one who stopped to help her.

And this is in Vancouver, Canada.

I have a good friend who was walking into an office building with a two-year-old. She was also about seven months pregnant. She fell in the parking lot's crosswalk - splat right on her huge pregnant belly, laying on the ground still holding her toddler's hand. TWO men walked right past her without so much as asking if she was ok. Appalling.

Whenever someone does something nice I always thank them profusely and loudly. And when someone is rude I am just as loud. I'm probably going to get beat up one of these days.

I'm working hard to teach my children manners and respect, both by showing them and by doing it myself.

I have to admit, though, that I am horrible at RSVPs and even worse at thank-you notes. The RSVP thing- well, I used to do it all of the time. Then, when I found myself calling every single person on the list for my own "surprise" wedding shower...then for my "surprise" baby shower...yeah. I said forget it. I'm done. I know that isn't right and I should continue to be the better person, but really, I'm still bitter about it- when not a single person I've known in the past 10 years has the common courtesy to RSVP to ME, I'm finished. Maybe I'll get over it some day.

Thank you notes- I'm working on doing that. I never did; my mom made us do it once, but it never became habit, and that's one of my goals. Actually...I owe my sister-in-law a thank you note. I'm going to go write it right now.

@MU - Thanks for giving me your opinion. As a mom of 4, I do know how busy our lives can get and how responding to comments can be time-consuming. I guess I've just noticed a shift in things, and wanted to hear your viewpoint. A few bloggers and I were discussing this comment issue and whether or not it was polite and necessary or understood that replies weren't necessarily coming back in relation to the number of readers who never leave their feeds to actually visit the blogs the read.

@TFB - Then I would never get the laundry folded!

And when you let someone go ahead of you in line because they one have a thing or two, and they just go, without saying anything. And when you hold the door for someone else, despite the fact that you are also holding a child. You are welcome, a**hole.

@Theresa and MU...

To make replying to comments a breeze, use the TypeKey comments feature available on Typepad. Comments show up in your email, and all you have to do is reply, (right in your email) to the comment and it goes where it should. Such a breeze. It almost makes it too easy.

As far as the etiquette, I try to reply to every question asked in them, and to every comment that I find funny or interesting, or even something I can argue with. I don't sense an obligation, but I do like to interact with my readers. Some bloggers take the firm stance of never replying to anything, which is fine. Some bloggers respond in detail to every comment, and I don't really find that necessary (meaning, just because I'm leaving a comment doesn't mean I expect a lengthly email from you.) But yeah, if you have TypeKey, and the whole thing is as simple as hitting the Reply button in your email client, then why not?

I don't know how standard that is, but those are my personal feelings on it.

Just a small gripe, but what are these niceties for pregnant people of which you speak?? I ride a very crowded bus to and from work every day. I am 35 weeks pregnant. I have never, ever had anyone offer me a seat, and I have been visibly pregant for a long time. No one even makes eye contact with me (I promise, I don't smell or anything!). Sure, there's no rule that pregnant women should be treated differently, but try keeping your balance on a city bus with all the potholes and people's bags and elbows, etc. I have to work twice as hard not to fall on other people.

I realize there are assholes everywhere, so I don't get too bent out of shape about drivers and door holders. My pet peeve is GRADUATION PARTIES - if the kid doesn't know to do it, then the parent should inform them. FIVE Grads in TWO years and only ONE thank you card. Also - if I send you a Christmas gift, at least TEXT me that you got it. I don't need formal Thank You's for Birthdays and Christmases, but acknowledgement, whether in person at the gathering, or even an email, goes oh-so-far in my decision to ever purchase anything for you again. Too bad one of the biggest offenders is my brother and I'm kinda STUCK with him...

Thank you notes are a pain- I just wrote 35 of them for a wedding shower that was thrown for me- but they are courteous and necessary. As a child my Mom's best friend said the only thank you note she got one year after sending out boxes of gifts to friends & family was from me- a small construction paper drawing with "thank you" in 4 year old writing. She kept it on her fridge for a year and I was the only person who got a gift the next year. Once I *didn't* send a thank you note and my Godmother, upon realizing she never got one, knew I hadn't gotten my gift. Sure enough, in July she tracked down a china doll she'd mailed me for Christmas - it was sitting in a warehouse somewhere. I got Christmas in July...and sent a thank you note.

Manners remind others that you know the world doesn't center around you...even if we sometimes wish or think it does! :-)

I couldn't agree with you more! Especially after last night. We went to the Harry Potter premier and I swear if one more person walked directly into my 8mo pregnant belly I would have gone postal and punched somebody in the throat. I am short not invisible!

And I can't tell you how many times in the past few months I have been walking behind someone and just had the door slammed right in my face. What the hell??

I'm glad both my husband and I are on board with teaching this kid MANNERS and COMMON COURTESY to others. This is ridiculous.

I think all those people who are "extra nice" to pregnant people are a myth, at least here where I live.

We were at an event this weekend where there was a petting zoo. There was a line to get in and most everyone waited, as civilized human beings do. But by the time wit was our turn, when the guy opened the gate no fewer than two families and one stray kid went barrelling in in front of us. I stopped one of the women and said, "There's a line here. We've all been waiting." But her kid had already run in ahead of her so the guy had to let her in. Normally I would have been all pissy about it, but it's hard to be mad when your 19 month old oohing and aahing over a baby bunny.

Indeed.

I've always found it strange that people will do kind things for pregnant people (hold doors, give up a seat on a bus, etc.), then totally turn a blind eye when you *really* need some assistance once baby is on the outside... when juggling baby and stroller and whatever.

It's almost as if people kind of enjoy seeing the suffering. Weird.

I think the door etiquette thing is what I've been most surprised by lately. Or how quick to anger people are on the road- if they only knew I had to slam on my brakes because the car ahead of me did, or whatever. People are too self absorbed and thinking about the next place they gotta be or thing they have to do... I hope we can get back to living in the present and acknowledging the people in it with a smile, and courtesy.

I think "the little wave" when driving is crucial. It says "Hey, we're both humans here, and I recognize that you and I are in this together."

@Theresa - I think many people try to send emails and comment back. But I think that takes a lot of time (at least, it does for me).

It's a lovely courtesy if you have the time and energy to do it, but I think it's commonly understood that most people won't be able to.

On my own part, I do read (and appreciate) every comment and often times comment back when I do have the chance.

This is why I'm happy to wait for my 8yo son as he holds the door for 15 people when we go in or leave a store or restaurant. I like to see him do nice things for others. I also make him write thank you notes for birthday and Christmas presents. All the relatives say it's not necessary, but I think it is. Some of the little nuances of politeness seem to have just died in our society.

I try to give the door dropper and otherwise rude people an out by thinking of a reason for their rudeness -- like, "perhaps they're just not awake yet this morning". Before I had children, I never thought of doing some of the things I now do because I appreciate others doing them for me. Things like offering to hold a door for a mom with a stroller, or offering to take back a shopping cart when mom is alone with the kids. I hope to show the good example rather than let the bad examples bring me down.

I read this and was surprised by the subject. I must live in a really great city but I thought I would offer a counter to the post to give you some hope in our fellow man :)

I live in a small city in Ontario (Canada) and I am continuously amazed by the nice people who live around me. When I have both kids at the supermarket, I am routinely asked by people if they can take my cart back for me. That boggles my mind because before kids, that would never have occured to me as an offer of help.

I am also helped by random strangers throughout the day with the little things that really make my day like doors being held open and funny faces to entertain the baby when I have my attention divided and he gets fussy.

I am always sure to be very appreciative so the person knows they have made my day and my kids see just how far a little good deed goes.

I was taught by my grandmother to always write thank yous. To this day I always do and to be honest not just out of appreciation out of habit. That being said I just received a thank from a co-worker for giving her lots of books to read this summer. May sound silly, but it made me feel so good! I was pleasantly suprised to feel so good about being appreciated!

I would love to hear your opinion on responding to comments left on blogs. Back when I first started a blog, in 2002-2003, it seems as if every comment received some sort of response, either via email or withing the comments themselves.

I admit, I took a long hiatus and things are very different now than they were in late 2007 when I left.

Just figured that might be a question worth asking, given the nature of your post.

And so I don't get bashed here because people read more into this than was intended, I don't read blogs of people I don't like. :)

@Marinka - My feeling has always been, if they took the time to buy a gift, it's only fair that we take time to write the note (I have Q do it herself. She draws a picture and writes a few words).

Twi'leks, occasionally referred to as Rylothians, were a tall humanoid species whose most striking feature was a pair of long tentacles protruding from their skull. They hailed from the planet of Ryloth, in the Outer Rim Territories, and female Twi'lek were often exported offworld as slaves.
Biology and appearanceEdit
Twi'leks were a species of tall humanoids whose skin spanned a vast array of colors,[2] including white, green,[4] pink,[6] blue,[3] purple,[7] and red.[8] Their most distinctive feature was the pair of prehensile tentacles that sprouted from the base of their skulls,[2] known as lekku, or headtails. Although Twi'leks normally had two of those tentacles,[1] some individuals had four of them.[3]
The species had two sexes, male and female. While males had ears with lobes resembling that of humans, females had cone-shaped hearing organs.[36]
Twi'leks were usually thin,[2] although corpulent individuals were known to exist.[35] Under normal circumstances, they had a higher body temperature than other humanoid species.[8]
Society and cultureEdit
The Twi'leks had a language of their own, called Twi'leki, which combined verbal sounds and an elaborate sign language using their lekku.[1]
The homeworld of the Twi'leks was Ryloth, a planet of harsh extremes situated in the Outer Rim Territories. That world was part of the Galactic Republic, a democratic union that governed most of the galaxy. During the Clone Wars, Ryloth was occupied by the Confederacy of Independent Systems and Twi'lek Resistance movement arose to combat the Separatists, led by Cham Syndulla and assisted by the Galactic Republic.[5] Years later, during the reign of the Galactic Empire, the Twi'lek Resistance was destroyed and Ryloth fell to the Empire,[37] becoming an Imperial protectorate.[38]
Twi'leks in the galaxyEdit
Since female Twi'leks were regarded as graceful and beautiful beings, many of them were forced into a life of slavery at the hands of the galaxy's wealthy and powerful.[2] Other Twi'leks, however, found themselves in positions of power; Bib Fortuna served as the majordomo to the crime lord Jabba the Hutt for decades,[21] Aayla Secura was a Jedi Knight of the Jedi Order,[32] and Senator Orn Free Taa represented his homeworld Ryloth in the Galactic Republic's Senate and later the Imperial Senate.[35]

Challenges Ahead for the Catholic Press
Different Levels of Authority
Respect the Readers
Openness Is Required
The resignation on May 6 of Father Thomas J. Reese, S.J., as editor-in-chief of the Jesuit magazine America, saddened many journalists and readers who are wondering what this message means for dialogue in the Church.
Reese's successor, Father Drew Christiansen, S.J., praised his example: "By inviting writing that covers different sides of disputed issues, Father Reese helped make America a forum for intelligent discussion of questions facing the Church and country today."
For five years the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) had raised concerns about articles in America. Until he was elected Pope Benedict XVI, Cardinal Joseph F. Ratzinger had headed that congregation. A few American bishops had complained to CDF about America's articles on such topics as gay marriage, homosexual priests, mandatory clerical celibacy, stem-cell research, reception of Communion by Catholic politicians who support abortion, inclusive language in the liturgy and the appropriateness of some Vatican documents like Dominus Iesus.
In the end, the Jesuits said they realized this was a fight they could not win. Father Reese chose to resign before an outside review board was imposed on the magazine and its mission changed.
Different Levels of Authority
America is aimed at college graduates, not schoolchildren. Directed at families, St. Anthony Messenger is less theoretical.
All Catholic publications need to be faithful to the Church while examining the Church's teaching and practice, and making application to current situations.
The Church needs critical thinking. We are not asked to leave our intellects outside the door of the church.
Our mission at St. Anthony Messenger is broad: to report and put into context the major events and movements in a changing Church and world; to comment on matters of significance from the perspective of Christian faith and values; to expand awareness, tolerance and understanding by presenting the views and achievements of others through interviews, personality profiles and opinion articles; to inspire, entertain and inform with fiction and cartoons, etc.
We report even the news that reflects poorly on the Church in the short term. No one likes reporting such items as the financial settlements for pedophile clerics. But we think Catholics have a right to know.
Opinion is only a small part of our purpose, but we consider it appropriate to pair point-counterpoint opinion articles on disputed issues within the Church, as long as the Church's position is forcefully presented. People can agree on principles but disagree on applications. Prudential judgments often differ.
The Church's magisterium teaches on different levels of authority. Teachings like the Trinity are on the highest level; a particular bishop's comments about gambling are not. Angelus talks by the pope are not as authoritative as his encyclicals.
Respect the Readers
Speaking at the Catholic Press Association Convention May 25, Archbishop John P. Foley, president of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, said he thought the reporting of critical or dissenting views was not the problem that CDF had with America, but giving dissent equal treatment was.
There can be honest differences of judgment over what is "equal." But when the treatment is noticeably unequal, today's well-educated Catholics know the deck is being stacked.
It's true that the religious education of even well-educated Catholics can lag behind their secular education. But to learn, adults need time to question and receive clear explanations. Catholics want help in joining the discussion on issues widely debated in our society.
This is no time to stifle discussion within the Church.
Openness Is Required
It's ironic that this discussion has come to a head so soon after John Paul II's death. His apostolic letter of last January, The Rapid Development of the Communications Media, endorsed the idea of dialogue: "While it is true that the truths of the faith are not open to arbitrary interpretations, and that respect for the rights of others places intrinsic limits upon the expression of one's judgments, it is no less true that there is still room among Catholics for an exchange of opinions in a dialogue which is respectful of justice and prudence.
"Communication both within the Church community, and between the Church and the world at large, requires openness and a new approach toward facing questions regarding the world of media. This communication must tend toward a constructive dialogue, so as to promote a correctly informed and discerning public opinion within the Christian community."
Basic doctrines of our faith do not change. But over time some Church teachings have changed. Otherwise, interest-collecting would still be forbidden and slavery permitted.
"The free dialogue within the Church does no injury to her unity and solidarity. It nurtures concord and the meeting of minds by permitting the free play of the variations of public opinion," said the Holy See's 1971 pastoral instruction Communio et Progressio (#117).
Dialogue must continue inside the Church if we are to be credible in dialoguing with the world.—B.B.

It actually kinda bothers me having a minifig riding on a shark, and the size of the new shark mold is more the issue than the minifig actually on the shark. That'd be one huge shark, or one very little guy. I'm not sure a baby could ride most sharks the way that minifig rides it.
I'd love to have both, but I have to wonder how big the swordfish is going to be. Considering the diminutive size of the kraken, I'm wondering if it's going to be around the size of the old sharks.

Abstract—The recently published measure property set of Briand, Morasca, and Basili [<ref rid="bibe01901" type="bib">1</ref>] establishes the foundation of a real software measurement theory. Unfortunately, a number of inconsistencies related to additivity properties might hinder its acceptance and further elaboration. In this paper, it is shown how to remove the ambiguity in the property definitions.

Software measurement, measurement properties, measurement theory, additivity, module connection strength.

Teresa McCulloch, CEO, began with "I applaud you for the continued improvement in patient outcomes. Home Health Compare, which is available to everyone on Medicare's website (www.medicare.gov) has consistently represented our patients improving faster and better than all other home health care providers in southeast Missouri. This report compares all home health agencies in the United States with one another in ten different facets of patient care. We were good at the beginning of the year and have improved each quarter since. It is the hard work of the VNA team which is giving our patients an advantage over all the others. Thank you!"
The most recent addition to the VNA's litany of services is the Consumer-
Directed Care which is now one year old. The program assists clients who prefer to hire and supervise their own caregivers. In most cases, the caregiver is a family member over age eighteen, not a spouse, who needs work and is capable and willing to clean and cook for another family member. They are paid for the care they give through Medicaid. VNA writes the paychecks and is available to assist with training if the "employer" requests it.
Top honors were given to Jeanie Selby, Home Health Aide of Wappapella with the presentation of the Jackson L. Burke Excellence in Home Care Award. She is recognized for her constant devotion to patients in the western-most region of the 14-county service area where she assists patients in three different programs: home health, hospice and in-home services, with bathing and other personal hygiene tasks.
"Her patients tell us they would not know how they would manage without her. She's the source of much comfort and the reason so many are able to stay in their own homes to recover," noted Mary Rodery, VNA clinical Director. The Warren Manning Commitment to Service Award was given to Pat Huttegger of Cape Girardeau. Pat is the Quality Assurance Director. She has been a key factor in VNA's ability to constantly continue to improve patient outcomes as evidenced by Medicare's Home Health Compare. Pat keeps everyone abreast of ways to improve the care provided. Sadly, Pat plans to retire at the end of the year to have more time to spend with her new grand-
daughter. She was given a token of appreciation for her 22-year commitment to VNA. She will be sorely missed.
The Layton Pickard Memorial Award was given to Roger Jespersen of Charleston. He is a dedicated board member who conscientiously shares his insight on matters important to the mission and growth of VNA. His recommendations are always timely and often key to VNA providing the services so vital to the community.
Key Employees of the Year from five VNA programs were recognized. VNA Employee of the Year is Kim Laub of Sikeston who manages the VNA Home Medical Equipment warehouse in Dexter. VNA Home Health Employee of the Year is Amy Manning of Qulin who is the Total Care Manager in the Dexter office. VNA Home Health Nurse of the Year is Pam Hampton, RN of New Madrid and Therapist of the Year is Brian Land of Jackson who provides physical therapy throughout the Poplar Bluff region.
VNA Hospice Employee of the Year is Apryl Craft, LPN of Sikeston. "Apryl is constantly telling me she loves her job," noted Diane Chappell, RN Hospice Director, "and her patients love her. She sees to it that they always have what they need, sometimes working well into the night to make sure all is as it should be for them."
The Hospice Volunteer of the Year is Brenda Gatewood of Kennett. "Brenda works full time, is attending nursing school and still takes time to provide friendly visits and family support to hospice patients, commented Helen Sander, RN Volunteer Coordinator.
VNA Private Duty Employee of the Year is Stephanie Geohagen of Kennett who is the administrative assistant to the Private Duty Director. VNA Private Duty Above and Beyond Award was given to Christina Hahs, LPN of Jackson.
VNA Community Services Employee of the Year is Tabitha Hyde of Kennett, Homemaker Team Leader and In-Home Nurse of the Year is Kim Mooney, LPN of Sikeston. Named as Homecare Aides of the Year for their respective service areas were: Pansy Clark of Caruthersville, Londa Barnett of Clarkton and Ladona McNulty of Cape Girardeau.
VNA Home Medical Equipment Employee of the Year is Elana Miller of Senath. Awarded Administrative Support Employee of the Year was DeAnne Mundy of Steele who oversees employee benefits and education in the Human Resources Department.

KOLKATA: It's a novel show in sync with the 150th birth anniversary of Poet Laureate Rabindranath Tagore. Kolkata's well known Akar Prakar Gallery has come together with the Indian Council for Cultural Relations to showcase an exhibition of Indian contemporary art in Germany. The exhibitions are being staged in Munich and Berlin.
"Twenty-six artworks of thirteen mid-career artists from Bengal are being displayed in Germany to celebrate the 150th birth anniversary of Tagore. These artists were selected from Kolkata and Shantiniketan, specifically keeping in mind the theme of Tagore," says Reena Lath, Akar Prakar's director.

Pattinson finally admits he and Kristen are an item
"He said: "It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes. We can't arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy. This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple but it's impossible. We are here together and it's a public event but it's not easy. We have to do all this stuff to avoid attention."
Pattinson headed to the award ceremony from shooting movie Bel Ami with Uma Thurman. He said: "A load of us came straight here. It feels like a work night out. The film is going well. I play a French journalist in 19th Century Paris. The problem is I have to leave for work again at 6:30 a.m."
