What are you most proud of? That I managed to tackle every single block, even though as a newbie I struggled with some of them.
Absolutely stunning! I really can't wait to see your completed quilt - it's going to be a real knock-out! What colour do you think you'll use for the sashing? And will you add a border before binding it?
Hi Pat, I am unsure at the moment, I wanted black background with small red pattern, or so I thought but have not yet come up with something. I am not even sure that would be right for it - do you have a suggestion? I assume we will add a border, I think Amy's has one that I saw on her blog. To be honest until I see what we are supposed to do next I don't have a clue LOL!
Plain black sashing is what first occurred to me for yours, but then I thought perhaps red (if you can get the right shade) and I thought white could have quite an impact. So I'm not really much use to you - I'll just confuse you, so you'll be the best judge of what suits best. You could, of course, pick out one of the minor colours in your fabrics (green perhaps?) or would that be too much? I think I may do a "piano key" border, whatever Amy suggests, in order to finish up all my scraps. This is the third project I've made with these fabrics (bought far too much of them) and I'm getting a bit fed up with them.
I agree with Pat on the red - it would really set off your gorgeous blocks! She's right about the right shade. I must have a good dozen reds now and few of them work with the fabrics I've been using. Who'd have thunk?
Your quilt looks amazing! I too am a newbie..but have wanted to quilt since about 10 years old. I'm so proud of us!
Yes I think everyone has gone a really great job, it's a great way to learn. I am not sure I am going to put my quilt together, It is a bit too random with all the different styles of blocks, I may just keep them for reference, I am part way through a lovely Lynette Anderson one that I will definately use.
Your blocks look really good. I'm a little behind so I better jump on it.
Thank you - no need to rush, the course is open for anyone to start and finish as and when.
You've got one gorgeous quilt coming. Look forward to seeing the finished project!
Hi Jean, I have pretty much decided not to put it together, it's all a bit too random for me, I am going to put the pieces away and work on another quilt by Lynette Anderson which is for our own bed which seems a bit use of the resources and time. I note from Amy's blog that her quilt was done by a long arm quilting service - I was hoping she would show how to do it on a small machine, however I am on Ann Peterson course so I am sure that will be sufficient. Hope your projects are coming on.

Oftentimes, it is impossible to judge the decisions of an NBA front office until the season is well under way. What looks like a brilliant move in June proves to be complete folly, and a risky gamble can be the catalyst for a surprisingly successful season.
Moves like the Los Angeles Lakers bringing in veteran superstar talent or the Philadelphia 76ers bringing in a quality big man looked great in theory before the 2012-13 season tipped off, but they have proved not only to be unsuccessful but detrimental to the success of the teams involved.
The campaign is a third of the way over and this is a perfect time to reflect on the front office decisions across the league that have not gone quite as planned. Here are the costliest decisions by NBA front offices so far in 2012-13.
All statistics accurate as of January 4, 2013.

The region's newest soap-opera actor is a kindergartner.
Plymouth Meeting's Patrick Gibbons Jr., 5, premieres Dec. 22 on ABC's One Life to Live as Sam Manning.

From birth, Sam had been played by sets of twins.
Patrick was discovered by Barbara Kline, manager of his teen sister Anna-Marie, a model-actress. "She told us for a year, 'He's got something,' " said his father, Patrick, a partner in Emerson Group, a marketing company. "We were reticent because of his age and lack of training and experience, so we decided against sending him on the audition." He and Patrick's mother, Maureen, caved after agent Barry Kolker - alerted to the tyke, who plays guitar and studies Spanish - asked "one more time."

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Lisboa Plaza Lisbon
Great hotel very close to Lisbon's center
Stayed here for 4 nights after a slight mix-up with our reservation at sister hotel Britania (which we recommend even more highly).
Rooms were nicely sized with large bathrooms and lots of closet space. As mentioned by other viewers, beds were slightly hard. We were traveling with a large group and room sizes did differ -- one couple ended up in a room with two twins that were just pushed together. This same room had been used as a smoking room even though we requested non-smoking for our entire party. Walls were pretty thin and not very sound-proof, but the ambient noise outside of the hotel was low.
Very cool view of a decaying 1920s theatre/restaurant complex (Parque Mayer) from the back of the hotel.
Location is excellent, just off of the Avenida de Liberdade, and less than 10 minute walk from the Rossio. One of our guide books called the Praca da Algeria (just down the street from the hotel on the Tv. do Saltitre) a red-light district, but we didn't find it particularly unsafe (and you could always walk along the heavily trafficked and well-lighted Avenida).
Great continental breakfast downstairs with lots of selection most likely due to the fact that it was served in a full-service restuarant.
We preferred the Hotel Britania over Lisboa Plaza but would stay here again as long as we could confirm bed configurations and non-smoking status.
No hotel is perfect.....
I choose this hotel after an in depth internet search for a Hotel that offered a central Lisbon location and decent 4 star accommodations. This was a first time visit for my partner and I so it was important for us to stay in a nice hotel with a convenient location. One will find that Lisbon does not offer a whole lot of mid price range(150-250 euros) choices of Hotels. Most of the the previous user reviews of the Lisboa Plaza were for the most part right on target with the exception of my own experience of the Lisboa Plaza guest rooms. I did request a preferred room in the back for quiet( yes it was) but it was unfortunately a bit of a disappointment as the room was in need of a renovation despite the so-called current famous designer's work. Yes, the rear facing rooms are huge and quiet with big marble baths but really not great decor and style. Scary Orange fabric with stripes and all, eeck! The worst however, was our rooms bath tub and shower situation that was in dire need of a complete overhaul( including black mildew stains in the grout!) I complained to the Front Desk about the bathroom tub condition and unfortunately nothing was done. Where is a bottle of Tilex when you need it? The Manager did send up some Port with his apologies. Just what one needs in Portugal, another bottle of Port, oh well! After a long day of sightseeing I was hoping for a comfortable bed, NOT! The beds were rather like lying upon the ground as they were hard and as uncomfortable as a concrete slab. Also, two twins together does not make for a King bed! As to the positive aspects of this hotel there are many, most importantly, the staff, who are great esp. the charming Joao who was always ready and willing to assist us with any needs big and small. (excepting a new bathroom) The Hotel buffet breakfast was indeed excellent and abundant. My only complaint with the buffet was, you could not get a proper cappuccino/latte/au lait, only mediocre pre-brewed caf� and in a pot. The hotels's location could not be beat though, as you can walk to almost everything and inexpensive taxi's are everywhere. One should avoid the "Fado" restaurant experience in the Alfama unless you are prepared to pay 75 euro's or more per person. There are many local non-tourist venue's for local musica Portuguese. Look for the easier on the ears contemporary Fado style music that is fun to explore and is quite lively and inexpensive too. Beware of the sometimes outrageous Coperto's/cover charge that some of the popular Bario ALto outdoor restaurants will charge you after you eat an olive or two from the dish. All in all the Hotel was fine for the money with the above mentioned drawbacks. I must say Lisboa was really fantastic! Lisboa has excellent restaurants, sights, glorious architecture and charming and friendly Lisboeta's'who will go out of their way to be nice and helpful.
Perfect location
I stayed there for 3 nights and on arrival we could chose room and of course we chosed the room with the view against the garden room 616. We woke up in the morning by birds singing since we had the window open. Close to trendy and expensive stores 5 min walk to Bairro Alto where all the bars and restaurants are. Good service but internet connection very slow.
We had a fantastic dinner at restaurant Olivier -------- service excellent atmosphere also and extremely good value for money.
Decent little hotel
Not at all bad. Room was comfortable and quiet and clean, the staff unobtrusive but efficient, and the bathroom more than adequate. Buffet breakfast was very generous. The bar is well appointed, and the barman exceptionally good - but like all hotel bars, don't expect to find "cheap". The hotel is in reasonably easy walking distance of the rest of town although one has to thread one's way through the streetwalkers at night. We didn't fancy the hotel restaurant dinner menu and there is a reasonable selection of restaurants nearby but it isn't absolutely heaving with variety. We never felt unsafe in that part of Lisbon, even very late on Saturday night. Taxis are super-abundant and appear as if from nowhere, even on the least likely-looking street!
In summary, a decent functional hotel, without pretention, with above average decor and standards of cleanliness.
Good hotel
My family stayed here for 3 nights in August and found the hotel very conveniently situated. We took three rooms, all wildly different in size -- the triple room on one of the upper floors was enormous with a nice view and large windows. One double room was tiny, with a rather depressing view. One double room was a good size, facing the street, with a large well-appointed bathroom with a window. The air-conditioning worked well, if a little noisy and all the rooms were very clean. The only downside is that they use a very strong-smelling deoderizer/cleaner and the heavy perfume scent never disappears (we had requested non-smoking rooms). This was true in all the rooms, so I don't think it was a mistake!
On the upside, the staff was very nice and accomodating, making sure we had a taxi waiting at 5:00 a.m., and always helpful giving directions and recommendations.
Across the road
hotel lisboa plaza is well located to explore the old city, rooms are fairly standard. The best part of our stay - after following the advice from our guidebook, and having some cheap, but average experiences, on our last night in Lisbon, we discovered a great bar and restaurant just across the road. La Caffe - the food and service were fantastic and a welcome relief from the indifferent waitstaff and meals accompanied by overcooked hot chips that we experienced elsewhere. an added bonus was the free internet access and tv lounge. great views over the avenida.
OK for a 4-star hotel
Situated off Avenida da Liberdade, Hotel Lisboa Plaza is located behind Hotel Sofitel Lisboa. Its location is 5-7 min walking distance to Rossio Train Station where trains will take you to Sintra on a 30-45min train journey, and Praca Dom Pedro IV. A 2 min walk along Avenida da Liberdade will bring you to Elevator da Gloria which takes passengers up a steep slope to Bairro Alto where you can visit Igreja de Sao Roque and dine in the popular Bairro Alto restaurants.
We had a pleasant 3-night stay at the hotel. Our standard double room was clean and large although the bathroom was small but very clean. The hotel staff (reception, housekeeping and restaurant) spoke good English and were very helpful in giving e.g. travel directions, dining options in the city and shops frequented by the locals. Buffet breakfast has a wide range of choices (as expected of a 4-star hotel). On the downside, as a 1950s building, the hotels exterior is rather bland (we almost missed its entrance) although its interior is well decorated. The beds were hard and the pillows were thin/flat.
If you wish to buy souveniors and happen to be in Sintra, do make your purchases there as the prices are relatively cheaper than in Lisbon and the airport (which can cost twice as much). If you wish to purchase relatively cheaper ceramic ware (e.g. bowls, plates, cups by Vista Alegre) for everyday use, do visit Pollux along Rua da Fanqueiros in Lisbon. This is where the locals buy their stuff.
We recommend Hua Ti Li (Rua dos Bacalhoeiros)for excellent Chinese food, attentive staff and value for money. Another must is Pasteis de Belem (Rua de Belem) for its fantastic Portuguese egg tarts. Also check out Casa Chineza in Lisbon for egg tarts.
As many travel guide books suggest, we agree that taking Tram 28 is a good way to see the city.
Nice Hotel
Our 11 day stay in Lisboa Plaza was excellent. The Hotel Staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very well located, between Plaza Restauradores and Marques de Pombal, and a short walking distance from downtown (Plaza Rossio, Baixa Chiado, Augusta St.) . It also has a Metro Station very close.
The Hotel is very nicely decorated, though it is old (Very small and antiquate elevators) . Maybe the rooms are small, including the bathroom, but they are very functional, and the most important of all, clean. They also serve an excellent breakfast.
Definitely, I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
Charming hotel
Just returned from a 7 night stay at Hotel Lisboa Plaza. From arrival to departure, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had two rooms, both large and spacious, bathrooms were small but perfectly adequate (large, deep tubs w/ showers, bidet, toilet, sink). Very peaceful, charming hotel, great location, wonderful staff. I would definitely stay there again.
Lisboa plaza is peaceful and pretty
The experience at the Lisboa plaza hotel was ok. The room was nice even if the bathroom was a little too small and old. The staff is really kind and welcoming and the room was extremly peaceful. There is only one restaurant in the hotel. Breakfast is extremely good.

Lisboa, Portugal
Woke up early, had breakfast at the apartment and headed out to explore the neighbourhood. Lisboa is a Very hilly spot and we all know the old adage, if we head down, we eventually have to come back up. Alfama is made up of MANY small streets and alleyways that barely fit a car through. It is a quaint neighbourhood made up of little bakeries, wine stores, restaurants, and shops. We made our way down to the water where it us a bit cooler and strolled around. There was ...

The Canadian Keiretsu
F. H. Buckley
George Mason University - Antonin Scalia Law School, Faculty
May 1996
This Article describes the Canadian Keiretsu, in which a main Chartered Bank dominates an interlocking group of clients, investment dealers, trust companies, and professional advisors. The keiretsu facilitates information-sharing and monitoring strategies amongst group members, and also reduces the agency costs of banker misbehavior. Most major Canadian firms are members of a keiretsu, and the Canadian economy is far more concentrated than that of the United States. The difference is attributable to the less restrictive banking and bankruptcy laws of Canada, and ultimately to a distinctly non-populist historical experience.

Several years ago, I was talking with another parrot behavior consultant, and she commented that people complained to her about how parrot behavior consultants [PBCs] never agreed on anything. My response was to suggest that those people seek out books about teaching a child to read. As an ex-elementary school teacher, I know there are multiple opinions about how to teach reading. My point was that we PBCs were all different people who had worked with different individual parrots, as well as different species of parrots. After all, there is rarely only one way to accomplish anything.

Marty Eichelberger Ministers to Burned and Banged-Up Children with a Trauma Center Built Just for Kids
When Eichelberger, 46, joined a medical team of nine in an emergency trauma room moments later, an X ray revealed that David's left lung had blown up like a balloon. The X ray confirmed Eichelberger's suspicion that David had inhaled something that had lodged in his airway. "I've seen this type of thing so many times." Eichelberger said. "You have to watch kids like this every second." Using a high-tech tubular scope with an attached grabber to survey David's air passages, Eichelberger pulled out the first particle of an object that was fragmented in David's bronchi. "I'll be damned," he said. "It's a peanut."
With his breathing passages completely clear 45 minutes later. David woke up howling and tried to jerk the oxygen mask away from his nose. Eichelberger smiled. "This kid's a bruiser," he said. "He'll be a fullback someday." For the time being, Eichelberger added. David was lucky he had come to the right place. "If he had gone anywhere else, he may have died," Eichelberger said. "Most hospitals aren't set up to deal with an emergency like this."
Accidental injury is by far the biggest cause of death of children nationwide. In 1988, according to the U.S. Public Health Service, about 10,000 children under age 15 were killed and 50,000 were permanently disabled. "If this were a disease like polio or diphtheria, there would be a great hue and outcry," says Eichelberger. Despite the accident epidemic, the trauma service run by Eichelberger at Children's hospital in D.C. is one of two dozen programs in the country designed specifically to respond to the emergency needs of children. "In the history of American medicine, kids have not gotten a fair shake," says Eichelberger's mentor, former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop. "Marty is determined to change that in the area of trauma care. There have been Johnny-come-latelies in the field since he got the ball rolling, but his children's trauma unit is the one other hospitals model theirs by. It's state of the art."
Teamwork and precision are the main factors that make Eichelberger's children's trauma unit almost unique. "It's not like I had to make any miraculous medical discovery," he says. "Before this unit was founded, we had an emergency room that functioned quite well in the treatment of minor injuries. Whenever there was a critical case, a dozen specialists would race to the emergency room to help. But it was crazy, like a free-for-all." Eichelberger created a special trauma care team within the hospital and instituted streamlined procedures to allow them to respond quickly in a crisis. He also lobbied for construction of a helipad at the hospital to shorten emergency response times and created a training program to teach paramedics about the special needs of children. "Children are not small adults, and they need to be treated differently for injuries," says Eichelberger. "We're quite often dealing with patients who can't communicate with you about what's wrong or tell you where it hurts."
Eichelberger's bedside manner is just as gentle with parents as it is with children. But in private his frustration at seeing so many children needlessly hurt often boils over into anger. The scenarios are all too common. A healthy child is permanently maimed because she wandered out in front of a car or wasn't wearing a seat belt. A curious toddler sticks his finger in a light socket or falls out of a window. An unattended preschooler topples into a swimming pool and drowns. "The sad fact is, most of these accidents are quite preventable," Eichelberger says.
Shortly after David Fulkerson is reunited with his parents, a shrill alert sounds on Eichelberger's beeper, and he is off at a run. Two-year-old Tiffany Thomas of Mechanicsville, Md., is arriving by ambulance after suffering second-and third-degree burns. An aunt who was baby-sitting had been boiling stew, and Tiffany had reached up and tipped the scalding liquid on her face and body.
In the emergency room a nurse holds and soothes Tiffany while specialists attend to her burns. Observing his team at work, Eichelberger is pleased by their calm and methodical response to the crisis, but the sight of Tiffany fills him with sadness. "This kid will be scarred for life," he says. "Now we'll have to get the family together for long-term rehabilitation."
Eichelberger's ambition to become a doctor was encouraged from a very early age by his father, Martin, a geophysicist, and mother, Léa. As a teenager in Philadelphia he signed up to work as a student volunteer in a hospital emergency room. "That had quite an impact on me," he says, "especially when I saw the emergency room staff bring people back from the brink of death." A gifted athlete and scholar, Eichelberger went on to play lacrosse and football at Princeton and "learned about the need to place a priority on teamwork."
As a fourth-year student at Hahnemann University medical school, Eichelberger spent six weeks studying at Philadelphia's Children's Hospital, where Koop was chief of surgery. Eichelberger had intended to specialize in cardiology, but Koop convinced him that he had the coordination and temperament to become a surgeon. After completing his residency and a stint in the Navy, Eichelberger returned to Philadelphia Children's and became interested in improving the quality of emergency care. "It was chaotic," he says. "Some very simple things were not being done."
Koop was delighted to see Eichelberger take up the trauma cause. "I recall one case in which a child had been pinned up against a wall by a car," says Koop. "One of his legs had to be taken off, and the child eventually died. But the family was so impressed with the care given the youngster that they donated money to start an official trauma unit at the hospital. That was a tribute to Marty."
Moving on to Children's Hospital in D.C. in 1980, Eichelberger quickly set out to establish a trauma unit that could be a model for the rest of the nation. Among the 1,800 injured kids admitted to the hospital each year, a heartening 98 percent survive. But that alone does not satisfy Eichelberger. Next week he and Koop will help promote Safe Kids Week, May 14-21, as part of a campaign for child safety that Eichelberger co-founded two years ago. "The medical profession focuses on treatment," he says. "That's the silver bullet. But parents need to face up to the fact that where children are concerned, most injuries are preventable."
On the morning after David Fulkerson was admitted, Eichelberger visited the intensive care unit and found the boy sitting up. "How's the Peanut King doing?" Eichelberger joked. David gurgled in response and his parents thanked Eichelberger profusely for saving his life. Before David's release, Eichelberger gave him a farewell hug. "I wish all our cases had happy endings."

Thanks for the link, Faerie! I loved Tim's interview on The/A Daily Show! And that quote from the Newsweek article is priceless.
Because to the coverage of Fashion Week on some of the PR blogs, I have firmer suspicions on who makes it and who doesn't. There's one person in particular whom I've seen in multiple pictures attending various fashion shows. This saddens me a bit because I know that if this person had made it to the finals, s/he would be too busy polishing up his/her own show to attend everyone else's shows. So yeah. Bummer.

Despite the New Orleans Saints' big win against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16, they were officially eliminated from playoff contention when the Minnesota Vikings beat the Houston Texans last week.
Playoff hopes down the drain, another season without a Super Bowl; it has not been easy for the Saints organization or for Who Dat nation, but they must look forward and look into the future. And from what we've recently seen from the Saints, the future does look promising.
Some big offseason decisions must be made soon, and they have to be the rights ones to better the team and get them closer to being a Super Bowl championship team.
Let's go over a few decisions the Saints have to make this offseason.

The guy with the stump is Malik from the first one. He's one of the guys with you in one of the first missions in Solomon's Temple; the other guy (the on who dies) is his brother. After Altair was split up from them, Malik fought off the Templars and his arm was injured and it had to be amputated. I think that's how he lost it anyway.

Mark Miller was buying flowers at the Santa Monica Farmers' Market when he saw it barreling toward him. "It looked like a tornado coming up the street," says Miller, 42. "Everything was flying up in the air like special effects in a movie." Miller tried to get out of the way but couldn't: When it hit him, it fractured both his legs and broke 12 teeth. Still, he was lucky—the runaway car that plowed into a crowd of shoppers that awful day in 2003 killed 10 people. "You can say you're sorry after something like this, but 10 people died," says Miller, a film director who spent more than a month in a wheelchair. "How can any one person be that kind of sorry?"
This week the driver of that 1992 Buick LeSabre, George Russell Weller, 90, is set to stand trial on 10 counts of vehicular manslaughter. A churchgoing grandfather with a good driving record, Weller pled not guilty, claiming he mistook the gas pedal for the brake. Still, the devastation he caused draws focus to a growing problem: dangerous elderly drivers. Accident rates in the U.S. among drivers 65 and older are higher than for any group other than teens; from 1990 to 1997 the number of deaths involving elderly drivers shot up 14 percent. With seniors the nation's fastest growing demographic, the question of whether, and under what circumstances, a drivers' license should be taken away will only get more urgent. "Up to a third of all seniors have cognition impairment, ranging from mild to dementia," says Dr. Barbara Freund, director of the driving research program at the Eastern Virginia Medical School. "A lot of them don't even realize they have those problems."
Even so, only two states require road tests for seniors 75 and older; in California, the state will only rescind a license after a diagnosis of dementia. "This is a public safety issue that has to be addressed," says Massachusetts State Senator Brian A. Joyce, who sponsored legislation requiring drivers 85 and older to take a vision and driving test every five years. "This is not anti-senior, it's pro-senior, and it's plain common sense."
At the same time Joyce is trying to persuade his own father to give up driving, something more and more families are doing. Chris Putnam, 60, noticed his mother's Honda Accord had some dings she couldn't account for, a sign that an elderly driver's judgment or reflexes might be impaired (see box). Putnam, a surgeon, and his siblings talked to her about giving up her license; she was shocked but, two years ago, agreed to stop driving. "I didn't like it," says Marilou, 86, who depends on rides from friends and relatives to get around in Peoria, Ill. "But I realized if they felt so strongly about this, it must be important. But I do miss driving."
Up until the crash, Russ Weller was considered a safe driver. A retired food salesman who has been married to Harriet, his college sweetheart, since 1939—they have a daughter, two grandchildren and three great-grandkids—Weller is described as loving and caring by those who know him in Santa Monica, where he lives. "He is a model on how to grow old and live a full life," says his friend Marilyn Hulquist. "He is such a good man."
At about 2 p.m. on July 16, 2003, Weller inexplicably steered his LaSabre onto a closed-off street, smashed past a plastic sawhorse barricade and barreled through the open-air market at around 60 mph. "I saw him coming," says Ilona Lettrich, 61, a former hair salon owner. "I could see people being run over, their mouths open as they went down under his car." In seconds the carnage was complete—eight dead, more than 60 injured (two people died later). Some of the survivors and relatives of victims have filed civil suits against Weller.
In his criminal trial he could face anything from probation to 18 years in prison if found guilty on all counts. Since the accident, Weller—who has cancer and probably won't attend the trial—has stopped driving. "He doesn't go out anymore," says Hulquist. "It's like his life ended too." Yet many of his victims are less angry at him than at the holes in the legal system that allowed him to keep driving. "Every moment of every day I'm in pain," says Lettrich, who, because of a crushed right hand, can no longer cut hair and lost her salon. "But I've never really blamed Mr. Weller. I would just be happy if nobody ever has to go through this again."

The discovery of the g-spot
Research into the Grafenberg area, or g spot as it has come to be known, languished until the 1970's when researchers started correlating stimulation of the g spot with a resultant different type of orgasm - the vaginal orgasm. G spot orgasms are typically accompanied with vaginal and uterine contractions, whereas clitoral orgasms tend to be accompanied by only vaginal contractions. Sometimes, the g spot orgasm was accompanied by the expulsion of fluid at the point of orgasm - female ejaculation. In all cases, the researchers said that women who experienced a g spot orgasm described it as very powerful and much more protracted than a clitoral orgasm whether it was accompanied by female ejaculation or not.
The g spot is located about three or four inches inside the vagina on the front side of the vagina. Imagine lying on your back with your partner inserting their fingers inside your vagina and pressing them towards your navel. They should find your g spot just above the patch of rough tissue inside the vagina. It's thimble sized and should start to swell as it's massaged. It needs firm pressure, as it's sometimes hard to find.
If you're having trouble finding your g spot, consider trying a g spot massager. They can produce very intense g spot sensations. Some women report that stimulation of the g spot is often also accompanied by strong feelings of a need to urinate. This usually disappears quickly and feelings of pleasure should replace it with continued massaging. You'll know when you find it. Experiment with how best to stimulate your g spot but remember that firm pressure is required. G spot toys can help in many instances.
Female Ejaculation
While female ejaculation is the common expression, ejaculation is perhaps the wrong word for it. While some women report a "gushing" or "squirting", others say the liquid is expelled with little force, in fact some called it a "dribble". Amounts can vary; anything from a few drops to a cupful can be the result. Tales of "gushing female orgasms" are probably a little off the mark but there is no doubt that some women ejaculate both copiously and with great force.
When female ejaculation occurs, the consensus is that it comes from the urethra and not the vagina. As we learnt previously, the g spot surrounds the urethra and is composed of tissue very similar to the male prostate gland. Researchers say it is this paraurethral tissue that produces the ejaculate. Consequently, the description of the g spot as the female prostate is probably not that far off the truth!
The ejaculate itself is surprisingly similar to male ejaculatory fluid. It is this fluid in men that carries the sperm and together make up the male ejaculate - semen. There is some agreement on the make up of female ejaculate. A liquid very similar to male prostate fluid is certainly in evidence in female ejaculate but there is often a significant quantity of other fluid - either from the bladder or urethra as well. It seems that both the quantity of ejaculate differs between women as does the make-up of the ejaculate. After repeated tests, one thing is certain, it is definitely not urine.
I hope this article has helped you learn a little bit more about the g-spot and female ejaculation. Please drop me a line if you have questions or would like to share your orgasmic experiences.

I would favor Azumah Nelson in this one. Probably by stoppage actually. I've always thought that Barrera had trouble with high energy and/or competent in your face fighters. An explosive guy like Junior Jones was a handful for Marco and, later, Rocky Juarez provided plenty to deal with in their first go around. A powerful, well schooled boxer like Azumah Nelson would be too much in my opinion.

I go for the 2001 Barrera, he was a smart, smart boxer.....probably at the peak of his powers around then, he could fight at a frightening pace as he did in the first Moralles fight or he could box intelligently with incredible defensive skill as in the Hamed fight. He was far better than the guy who lost what 5 years earlier to Junior Jones. Nelson was great but I think Barrera would find a way to neutralise him.
Off topic, I'd even favour peak Barrera over the featherweight version of Pacquiou. He was past prime when he met Pac first time and possibly was a touch undermotivated as Barrera was the betting favorite, Pac was seen as a little guy moving up. How things change now!!!
Barrera was always better as the underdog. The fights with Moralles and Hamed are classics.

Health & Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius talks with WebMD about health care reform for young adults and others.
Kathleen Sebelius on Health Care Reform
Q: What's the one thing in the reform law that you wish more Americans knew about?
A: One of the really exciting features that isn't an immediate payoff, but I think may have the best long-term bang for our buck, is the real shift we're making from what we have now as a sickness care system into a real health care system. A lot of benefits, a lot of the framework is getting everybody a health home, making sure that preventive care doesn't have financial barriers. Trying to intervene early, get more primary care docs, more nurse practitioners, more people who work hard at keeping their patients healthy [rather] than waiting till they get to hospital and treating them when they're sick.
We spend a whole lot of money compared with most countries around the world, and our health results are pretty mediocre. I'm a big believer that if we can refigure our health incentives, look at quality outcomes, and hopefully get people in healthier condition and keep them there, that overall we'll have much higher quality at a lower cost and better results.
Q: Is there one thing that everyone in the country could do to be healthier?
A: A little bit of exercise helps a lot. Thirty minutes a day. I think some sort of personal exercise would be a great start.
Q: What role do online health services like WebMD play in educating consumers?
A: I think WebMD is a huge educational tool and actually I'm looking forward to having a much more robust conversation with [WebMD] about ways we can help populate your web site with lots of information about this bill and work together to get information tools out to the American public. For a lot of people, the health system is very difficult to navigate, very complicated to try to figure out what are the choices, how to make cost-effective decisions. You have a great audience who is eager to get information. We're eager to find ways to get information out to people, so we can do a lot of good work together.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Brooklyn native Stephen Fallo, 50, a retired auto parts manager who enjoyed science and sports, died Saturday in Richmond University Medical Center, West Brighton.
Born in Brooklyn in 1963, Mr. Fallo moved to New Dorp in 1990.
Mr. Fallo worked in Brooklyn as an auto parts manager at Bay Ridge Toyota for 23 years and at Manfredi Auto Group on Staten Island, for three years, retiring in 2006.
A graduate of Lafayette High School, he played the French horn and was a guard for the football team. He was also a science buff.
"He was a mad scientist and a jock," said wife, Connie Fallo.
Mr. Fallo attended Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn. He was currently attending the College of Staten Island where he was studying geology.
In his leisure time, Mr. Fallow was a wine enthusiast and enjoyed smoking cigars. He also liked to listen to classic music, play chess and root for his favorite sports teams. He was a fan of the Giants, Mets, Boston Celtics, and Boston Bruins.
"They got a win for him last night," said Connie, referring to the 2-1 Bruin's overtime victory against the Chicago Blackhawks in game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Mr. Fallo was also intrigued by green technology and was doing his part to build a cleaner environment. He even took up carpentry. "He was a master carpenter with hands of gold," said Connie.
In addition to his wife, Connie, surviving are three stepsons, Jonathan, Christopher, and Niko; his mother, June, and sister, Michele.
The funeral will be Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Colonial Funeral Home, New Dorp. Arrangements include cremation.

Decalcification of the Pineal Gland (aka Seat of the Soul) & the rest of the body if you listen to David Wolfe. From memory David Wolfe shared on a youtube Calcium Carbonate aka Chalk can cause calcification throughout the body as it contains Calcium forming organisms as well as a very poor form of Calcium. Calcium Carbonate is in many processed foods especially flours, milks and Tom's toothpaste, so I now have Spry toothpaste.

French, Footed Glass Bowl Resembling Lapis Lazuli, cast, carved, ground, and polished opaque blue glass; silver gilt mount, about 1640–60. 3 ½ in. Glass Pavilion, Gallery 4
During the Renaissance and Baroque periods, semi-precious stones ranked highest in the hierarchy of materials "made by nature." Therefore objects made from them were reserved for the royal families and the most elite citizens of Europe. Vessels carved from rock crystal, agate, or lapis lazuli imparted splendor to aristocratic tables and collector's cabinets and were kept in royal treasuries. This unique shell-shaped cup with French silver gilt mounts appears to be made of lapis lazuli but is, in fact, carved from a solid block of glass. It successfully resembles the opacity and natural veining of the expensive, semi-precious stone, which was imported into Europe from Afghanistan.
