What You Missed at Riot Fest

Jeff Marini started as a portrait photographer, and he's taken a couple of my favorite recent portraits—this one, of Field Museum Chief Curiosity Correspondent Emily Graslie, that captures her curiosity and wit; and this one, of the gifted young chef Iliana Regan, which underscores her immense ambition and independence. They're both perfect compliments to the accompanying profiles, suggesting that Marini got something true about his subjects through his lens.
After portrait photography, Marini became interested in food photography. It was, he told me, an obvious transition. "More than any other inanimate object, it spoke to me," Marini says. "Food has a sense of soul and spirit. It was the logical next step."
For this month's Big Picture feature, he took on one of the most simple and sweet of foodstuffs: ice pops, just as Chicago finally, finally turns the corner on summer. And the Bomb Pop was an obvious choice to lead with. "The Bomb Pop is an icon of America in the summer," Marini says. "I can't disassociate it with summer vacation—time seems to pass more slowly, the days are long and hot, everyone has time. That image illustrates that idea of time passing very nicely."Edit Module

Conquer, rule and manipulate the Roman Empire with the ultimate goal of being declared as the "Imperator" of Rome. Set in a time when the mighty Roman Empire emerged to conquer the known world against powerful enemies, when gladiators fought to a bloody death in the Coliseum; when Spartacus defied the might of the empire; when Hannibal led his invincible army and his war elephants across the Alps to strike fear into the very heart of Rome itself; and when Julius Caesar finally smashed the Barbarian Gauls. This was a time of brutal confrontation between civilisation and barbarism, and of civil war as the ancient world's only superpower turned on itself.

I have played >1000 hrs on this SPQR TW 9.0 and I love this mod! I cheated plenty of money and put billions of money on all factions :). I played as greeks and i made some modification adding Spartans recruitement on all cities. Troops are massive 20-40 full stacks waiting to devour your troops. In battlefield it can handle 10-12 full stacks of armies in very huge battles. 1 stack is around 4200 troops with a massive 30k-35k troops in battlfield!! You have to play very hard and you will see the AI are so very good.
My specs 4790k @ 4.0 Ghz, HD 7950, 16GB ram, 1080p. Settings most high and troops was set to Huge with 240 troops in one group. I only play single player and is fun. Graphics and maps are also good.
Rome total war 1 forever, The best strategy game ever.
Ancient Rome total war could create an update patch 1.8 post-install mode expansions of barbarian invasion and alexandre who worked more sounds and textures graphs historically part know that there are already more surrectum Rome is a mod until well done but my propsota is the community of total war can recover the original Hogo to make the followers can once again enjoy a map but logical extension between the ends of arabia and india for the North of Europe in brittany with more such historic towns and their buildings more real, with detailed in its military construction legions, remember that now would be very interesting to work this idea because the games are coming in 3d dimenssão more realism and graphic textures .........

Dr. S. came into the room late, in a hurry and already had decided what was wrong with me. She had poor listening skills and closed minded about my ideas of helping my health problems. I had a wonderful md at Tauro yet he left. It's make s it easy to compare once you have a really competent md. I left feeling invisible and put down as if all my years of wisdom and knowledge of my body didn't mean anything. I thought mds were here to listen and help heal.
She genuinely cares about her patients. When my husband died, she took the time to write a personal note about him. When I have been very sick, she did not sugar coat it. She listens to my questions and looks beyond the physical health. I cannot imagine not having her as my doctor.
This doctor was our doctor from the beginning, she then switched us to her PC Hal Le Pac, but would always confirm with Hal Le regarding our health. Once her practice became successful, she got rid of Hal Le and dropped us as patients after 4 years. This is called abandonment. This doctor is all in it for the money. The people who run her office are rude and all about the money. Poor doctor.
To save time, I always go in with a (short) list of what needs to be reviewed: labs, health conditions, etc. She always takes the time to address each item thoroughly. She has produced excellent results for me. Her "bedside manner" can be a bit direct rather than gentle or friendly, but that's okay with me as long as she gets results, which she has. I trust her and feel confident that she makes educated health decisions. That's what matters most. She also answers questions in a way that I understand. Wait times can be quite long, usually 45 min, but at times more than an hour, VERY ANNOYING. I have a busy schedule, too. The receptionist does her best, but handling annoyed patients would be trying for anyone. I like that I can have my labs done by the same practice, and that they are migrating to e-records. I wish I could view my lab results online quickly; maybe one of these days. I recommend Dr. Theresa Steckler for her knowledge and efficient, no-nonsense approach. If you need your hand held over every little thing or want to be buddies with your doctor, she may not be the best choice for you.
Dr. Steckler is probably the best physician I've had since being released from Northridge Hospital Medical Center. I'm an incomplete quadriplegic, ambulatory, so as you can imagine my health problems are numerous. Dr. Steckler had been very informed about my condition, despite it being outside of her specialty, and has provided what I consider excellent care during my three years as her patient.
Dr Steckler is very honest and up front in treating me. I have the highest regard for her diagnoses.
My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Steckler for 10 years and highly recommend her. We find her skills and treatment of illnesses to be excellent. She knows her patients well and listens and answers all your questions.
She sucks! She's so abrupt and insulting , she has the bedside manner of broken glass! She tries to blame the patient for their illness. And she is a total ripoff fraud! She overbills her patients expecially Medicare patients. AND WORST OF ALL, SHE GIVES UP ON YOU AD TRIES TO BLAME YOUR ILLNESS ON YOU IF SHE CAN'T FIX IT. ONE DAY YOU'LL GET SICK DOCTOR, AND YOU'LL GET TREATED THE SAME WAY!
I have been under the care of Dr. Steckler for over eleven years. She is thorough, concerned, and extremely interested in the well being of all her patients. I am almost 82 years of age and because of her constant pressuring to eat and live "smart" I am enjoying life with very few medical issues. She is great.
Very good doctor, takes a lot of time, with you and explains everything in entirety. Listens to your problems and offers solutions.
Went 3 for 3 as she misdiagnosed each issue. This was a rude awakening as this physician was recommended.

Jaffer Sheyholislami - 1 - http://www.carleton.ca/~jsheyhol/cda.htm Critical Discourse Analysis i Jaffer Sheyholislami email@example.com According to van Dijk (1998a) Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is a field that is concerned with studying and analyzing written and spoken texts to reveal the discursive sources of power, dominance, inequality and bias. It examines how these discursive sources are maintained and reproduced within specific social, political and historical contexts. In a similar vein, Fairclough (1993) defines CDA as discourse analysis which aims to systematically explore often opaque relationships of causality and determination between (a) discursive practices, events and texts, and (b) wider social and cultural structures, relations and processes; to investigate how such practices, events and texts arise out of and are ideologically shaped by relations of power and struggles over power; and to explore how the opacity of these relationships between discourse and society is itself a factor securing power and hegemony. (p. 135) To put it simply, CDA aims at making transparent the connections between discourse practices, social practices, and social structures, connections that might be opaque to the layperson. Evolution of CDA In the late 1970s, Critical Linguistics was developed by a group of linguists and literary theorists at the University of East Anglia (Fowler et. al., 1979; Kress & Hodge, 1979). Their approach was based on Halliday's Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). CL practitioners such as Trew (1979a, p. 155) aimed at "isolating ideology in discourse" and showing "how ideology and ideological processes are manifested as systems of linguistic characteristics and processes." This aim was pursued by developing CL's analytical tools (Fowler et al., 1979; Fowler, 1991) based on SFL. Following Halliday, these CL practitioners view language in use as simultaneously performing three functions: ideational, interpersonal, and textual functions. According to Fowler (1991, p. 71), and Fairclough (1995b, p. 25), whereas the ideational function refers to the experience of the speakers of the world and its phenomena, the interpersonal function embodies the insertion of speakers' own attitudes and evaluations about the phenomena in question, and establishing a relationship between speakers and listeners. Instrumental to these two functions is the textual function. It is through the textual function of language that speakers are able to produce texts that are understood by listeners. It is an enabling function connecting discourse to the co-text and con-text in which it occurs. Halliday's view of language as a "social act" is central to many of CDA's practitioners (Chouliaraki & Fairclough, 1999; Fairclough, 1989, 1992, 1993, 1995b, 1995a; Fowler et al., 1979; Fowler, 1991; Hodge & Kress, 1979). According to Fowler et al. (1979), CL, like sociolinguistics, asserts that, "there are strong and pervasive connections between

text: Opening Ceremony, a hip boutique on Howard Street, is known for its eclectic assortments, which highlight designers from a different foreign country every season or so. On Friday the store will become a showcase for a single brand, and a mass market one at that: the Proenza Schouler for Target collection. "We're featuring the whole entire collection at once," an employee at Opening Ceremony said, explaining that at Target it will be broken into several shipments over a period of time. "The entire store is dedicated to the Proenza Schouler line. This is a pop-up store for Target." By visiting Opening Ceremony, consumers eager for a slice of affordable glamour can get a jump on actual Target shoppers, who will see the line for the first time on Tuesday. The pop-up store is typical of Target's dual marketing approach of appealing to its broad-based clientele and targeting fashionistas and industry types. A video on the Target Web site features the designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez discussing their inspirations, which include New York, "such an amazing place," and their ideal customer, who is "a girl who's not afraid of being creative and doing her own thing." The pair are the latest in a string of designers to create capsule collections for Target's Go International program. The Proenza Schouler collection will remain at Opening Ceremony through Monday at 8 p.m. The store will revert back to its diverse self on Feb. 7. This is not the first time Opening Ceremony has given over space to a large, commercial brand. Topshop in 2005 was introduced to the American market with a 500-square-foot boutique in the loft area of Opening Ceremony.

Jennifer Vierling knows the challenges endurance athletes face: the need to replenish lost calories, energy and electrolytes with something that will sustain and hydrate them throughout the event.
Vierling became hooked on cycling when she rode 6 miles from the Charleston airport to the KOA campground to begin a weeklong cycling tour. She put in many miles including RAAM qualifiers and Paris-Brest-Paris, while also supporting her husband, Jeff, as he competed in long-distance cycling events.
They turned their love for endurance sports into a solution for athletes when they created and co-founded Tailwind Nutrition mix and launched their company in 2012. The company actually got started when Jeff ran into nutrition challenges while competing at the Leadville 100 mountain-biking event. Continue Reading →

In this blog post/podcast episode we want to delve into a few more components of understanding how your body ticks by discussing heart rate variability (HRV), V02 max and anaerobic threshold (AT).
I received a question from a listener related to our podcast about heart rate training. He says,
"The only thing you did not discuss and maybe there is no answer to this, but I'd like to know more about monitoring and tracking recovery heart rate after a workout. I "appear" to recover very quickly after a long or hard workout, as my heart rate comes back to normal quickly. Do you have any data or thoughts on this?"
This excellent question leads into the topic of heart rate variability (HRV). Continue Reading →
On Sept 21, 2013 we got to run the 17th annual Air Force Marathon in Dayton, OH. This year there were a total of 15,000 participants between the 5k, 10k, half and full marathon.
We made this a family trip and were able to visit the National Museum of the United States Air Force the day before the race. This is a pretty amazing place (with free admission!!) that details the history of aviation with many aircraft and memorabilia from over the years. The kids were as impressed as kids can be with a museum and it was an educational experience that they're still talking about.

Vinnie Tortorich is the author of the book Fitness Confidential – adventures in the weight loss game. *Quick heads up, the book does contain adult language and content.
He is the go to guy for celebrities and athletes who need to get fit fast. He hosts the Angriest Trainer Podcast and is an ultra-endurance cyclist. He has also battled Leukemia, a struggle he chronicles in the book.
Vinnie calls himself America's angriest trainer but he's actually a really nice guy. As a personal trainer he doesn't scream "feel the burn!" when making his clients do push ups. He says that's only what made-for-T.V. trainers do.
He is angry because of the misinformation that exists in the fitness industry -an industry he's been working in since the 80s. Vinnie's contention is that the calorie in calorie out weight loss model is a bunch of bull.
"Your good intentions have been stolen, and I'm here to help you get 'em back!"
The book opens with a situation where movie execs from Disney need him to take 35 pounds off an actress in six weeks.
When you see an actress on the red carpet and you know she just had a baby three weeks ago but she looks fabulous; she either has me or someone like me working with her. -Vinnie Tortorich
He will be the first to tell you that these celebrities types are not genetically perfect. What works for them will work for us. The secret sauce of Fitness Confidential is called NSNG (no sugars no grains). Continue Reading →

In this podcast episode and blog post I will zero in on two common difficulties that can make your marathon a lot more challenging —bonking and cramping. I have heard from many runners who have experienced one of these mishaps. It is time to understand why they happen and what you can do about it.
Bonking is often referred to as "hitting the wall" and this phenomenon happens during long runs and marathons. Bonking can occur when you don't take in adequate carbohydrate replenishment during your run.
Because the average runner burns 100 calories per mile the body will have depleted its muscle glycogen fuel store after approximately 90 minutes of running (if you haven't been replenishing the lost calories). When you bonk, your body has burned through its reserve supply of muscle glycogen and what you've put into your body hasn't kept up with the demand. You may feel a sudden fatigue, loss of energy and start taking long walking breaks. Other symptoms may include nausea, dizziness, feeling faint, shakiness and rubbery legs which may indicate that your blood sugar is low.
Bonking may also have a mental component where you feel hopeless or like you can't go on. If your brain is low on glycogen it logically will be signaling your body to stop whatever folly you're engaged in.
Here's what you need to do to prevent bonking:

When I ran my first marathon I knew next to nothing about fueling. Oh, I did plenty of research on the internet, but still my fueling on long runs was haphazard at best. There was the time when I ate a chicken dinner 2 hours before running 16 miles and it didn't stay down. There were times when I got light headed from inadequate fueling.
In the last few months I've come across some information that has revolutionized my personal fueling. I can't take credit for coming up with these ideas. Here are some guidelines for smart fueling success: Continue Reading →

What Are Gallstones?
Gallstones are often formed if there's extra bilirubin and cholesterol within the body, and inadequate bile salts. Since obesity is among the important risk factors for gallstones, this type of diet will reduce excess body weight. Unique transitions in the diet may help prevent gallstones. Gallstones start to develop when the quantity of bile isn't sufficient to saturate the cholesterol, thereby resulting in the crystallization of cholesterol.
Having foods plentiful with fiber play a crucial function in preventing gallstones. Fiber-rich foods could be contained within the diet. Let's get to understand which foods ought to be have to prevent gallstones. Other items which may be contained within the listing of foods that will be eaten to prevent gallstones get below.
Besides cholesterol, gallstones additionally contain little quantity of chalk and bile pigments. If you observe a nutritious lifestyle and follow a suitable diet, the gallstones are less inclined to return. Bile contains bile salts, cholesterol and waste things such as bilirubin pigments. Bile is needed for the appropriate digestion of fatty foods.

My first Whole Birth Yoga class starts tonight and I am so excited! i think it is going to compliment the hypnobabies course perfectly. Anyone else taking some prenatal yoga classes?
Starting Whole Birth Yoga classes tonight!!
Comments (4)
That is so cool! I have wanted to take a prenatal yoga class but just feel so busy with work and everything that it seems impossible. I bought a video but haven't even unwrapped it!! UGH! How did your class go? How was it different from regular yoga?

It went great!
I have done at home yoga videos before (not prenatal) but it is such a different feel going to the class, of course that has to do with all the other preggo ladies too. The yoga instructor is very nice and she stresses that if at any time we need to take a break to do so. I guess when I have done yoga at home, I just feel like I need to do exactly what they are doing in the video and worry too much that I'm not doing the correct form etc or doing it long enough. But taking the class just takes a lot of pressure off as it is filled with people who used to be super active and many who did not. So we all go at our own pace, and if we are really doing a pose wrong she helps us out by usually modifying it in a way where it isn't as tough yet we still get the intended stretch.
We also learned a few breathing techniques to use during labor, as well as did meditation at the end of the class.
Ultimately, it was just so exciting to finally be meeting so many other women in person who are all pregnant. Everyone was just happy to meet everyone else and excited about the class. Most of the poses were pretty basic, other then a lot of stretches to warm up - we did downward dog (modified for 3rd trimster), childs pose, sun salutation, warrior pose, and a few others I cannot remember the name of right now. All poses you have probably learned before if you have ever done yoga (many which are on the Wii sports yoga too!) Oh, and during many moves we did - we rubbed our belly/babies as part of the move
I can see adding in a real class is stressful to the busy schedule - but from the minute I left the house to head to the yoga class I just felt more and more relaxed and excited to take this time out for myself and my baby girl. Even if I did do this at home though - I think I would still love it. Have fun with your yoga videos - definitely take some time for yourself and your baby to do this, you won't regret it!

Poll: For those who watch/read D. Gray-Man, who do you think has the Heart? Vote Now!
Author has written 5 stories for Fullmetal Alchemist, Romeo and Juliet, and Vocaloid.
My pen name changes so much I should just call myself Lady of the Whims. Either way, I write what tickles my fancy, and I'm a big fan of shonen-ai/yaoi. I don't normally incorporate original characters unless they are necessary and/or become romantically involved with another original character. I will probably never write OC/canon character. If I do, it's probably one-sided on my OC's part. I mostly prosper in the tragedy, hurt and comfort, romance, horror, and humor genres.
I do get to be critical at times, especially if the problem I find takes away from the reading experience. My critiques tend to be lengthy if the issue is large enough. I try my best to sound respectful and constructive. Of course, sometimes I'll just drop a "this is awesome, update soon," or an "I demand an update!" Guilty as charged, I've had my fair share of moments where I've even dared to say, "I don't like the pairing," but I try to also add something constructive at the end of it. This usually occurs on stories that had a pairing I didn't really care for but still had a good story.
Please take the time to read and critique my work. Thank you! The avatar belongs to bastillavictoria.deviantart.com.

The Burmese government and Kachin rebels were engaged in pitched ground battles over key positions in the mountains around Laiza on Tuesday, while the army also launched airstrikes in the area, according to a rebel commander.
Further north in Kachin State, three children died in a displaced civilians' camp on Tuesday after the underground bunker they were playing in collapsed, an aid worker said.
Government troops attacked two rebel-held hilltop posts, Kha Rha hill and Lim Bum hill, on Tuesday afternoon, said Min Htay, a major in the All Burma Students' Democratic Front, which fights alongside the Kachin Independence Army (KIA).
"We've been fighting with the government troops today," he told The Irrawaddy by telephone. "The government troops launched a ground attack on Kha Ra hill post, but we fired back."
He said in the course of the fighting the Burmese army called in airstrikes to hit the two positions, which are located less than 10 kilometers northwest of Laiza, a town on the Burma-China border where the KIA have their headquarters.
"On Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 pm, two fighter jets dropped bombs at the Kha Ra hill post and Lim Bum hill post," Maj Min Htay said, adding that fighting was continuing late afternoon on Tuesday.
In recent weeks, government troops have seized at least two KIA hilltop posts in the area, point 771 and Phun Pyan Bum hill.
Residents of Laiza said that on Monday night the Burmese army had again fired artillery strikes at central Laiza's Phar Kyan Kyawt quarter, where earlier that day shelling had killed three civilians and injured four.
"There were two artillery strikes around 10:45 pm last night," said a Laiza resident, who preferred not to be named. "We were so worried about our safety."
Monday night's strike did not injure anyone, as the quarter had been evacuated following the attacks earlier that day.
Two seriously injured victims of the first artillery attacks—a 10-year-old girl and an adult woman, who were both wounded in the lower part of their body— have been brought to China's Yunnan Province for further treatment, the Laiza resident said.
Also on Tuesday, four young boys who were playing in a makeshift underground bunker were buried when a mud slide caused the bunker to collapse, said Mary Tawn, an aid worker with Wun Tawng Ningtwey (Light of the Kachin People).
Three of the boys, aged between 11 and 13 years, died in the tragic accident in Barka Htaunt camp for internally displaced villagers. "Only one out of four children playing there could make it alive. It all happened within about 30 minutes," she said. "We lost sight of those children while they were playing during lunchtime."
Mary Tawn said the makeshift bunkers were hazardous for little children but had to be dug as the fighting was getting closer to the camps. "As more air strikes and shelling are happening near the camps, we have to dig more bunkers," she said.
Wun Tawng Ningtwey assists about 10,000 villagers in six camps in northern Kachin State by providing food, shelter and education for the children, Mary Tawn said, adding that the group had just opened a primary school in Barka Htaunt camp, which is located near Mai Ja Yang, several hundred kilometer north of Laiza,
An estimated 100,000 Kachin villagers have been displaced since the fighting in Kachin State began in June 2011, when a 17-year-old cease-fire between Kachin rebels and the government broke down.
All members of the UNFC should suspend the dry talk with the military-led regime and join rather the KIA in fighting against the barbaric army, which has too much blood of innocent people in its hands and which would also turn its guns in due course against those who now hold talks with it, apparently meaning that the heartless army of course plans to eliminate all ethnic armed armies one after another.
Suu Kyi, who never deserve being compared to Gandhi and Martin L. King, now becomes part of the problem rather than part of the solution to the problem, and she now enjoys being with those who are held responsible for the brutalization, persecution, and genocide against the Kachin and other ethnic groups.
There are more than 50,000 brave men and women in uniform in the ethnic armies, and the history of fighting in the past 60 years has clearly proved that the barbaric army of Burma has been unable to crush the soul and strength of the ethnic armed armies, who shall never leave the fate and future of their people in the hands of the Burman army.
The KIA wants peace, which must necessarily include the absence of war and the presence of equality, federalism, and self-determination, whereas Thein Sein-led regime wants peace, which includes the absence of war only, resulted in the escalation of merciless war fought between the barbaric army and the KIA.
It is realistic and practical that the talks with other ethnic armed groups will sooner or later come to an end, and the war will inevitably resume as the fighting in the Kachinland proves it. The resumption of fighting in the north sends a clear message to all other armed groups that they shall face the same fate sooner or later as the regimes never keep its promise in the past and even now.
It is more and more clear the reform is only the window dressing to woo the international investment and break out the isolation ,nothing more.MR ;PRESIDENT, SHAME ON YOU AND YOUR ADMINISTRATION, DESERVE TO BE ACCESSORIES OF WAR CRIME.
Our thought and prayers are with you. All ethnics feel shaken when you are bombed and gunned down by the junta. Who betrays and who is loyal to the Union will be the final judge when people wake up in history. The truth always prevails at last. Kachins are already winning in the international viewpoint.
The Government of Burma must use the same model for peace negotiation. We Kachin demand the peace model government applied with the WAs, Maing Lar Groups, Karens, to which the talks were done under peaceful environment, friendly and no military pressure.
With Kachins, the Government use military pressure and dialogue at the same time (Special model). The military intrusion and attacks usually committed by the Government troops on the days of the peace talk. The invitation for the peace talks come along with the heavy military operation. The Kachins will never talk under the gunpoint. US must urge the Government of Burma to use the same Peace model they used for other groups to Kachin, it will be absolutely OK. Kachins are waging defensive war, for now, even escaping war, no way to give trouble to the giant army and to intrude to the mainland Burma. The Government said that KIA disturb the troops travel to deliver the rations to the Government military posts, WHY they have the military posts in the KIA areas, isn't apparent intrusion and for the purpose to ignite the war. KIA is simple, defending their land and their peoples from the brutal foreign troops.

Is Female Ejaculation A Myth? Don't Believe It -- Here's How To Help Her Squirt
Focus on the front wall of the vagina, and explore it with lubed fingers. Push on her G-spot and see how it feels to her. It may feel like she needs to urinate when you push on it, but as long as her bladder is empty, she can rest assured that this won't happen, and that what she is feeling is normal — go with it, don't try to stop it.
4. Introduce A Toy (Or Keep Using Your Fingers)
The next step is to try to induce the female ejaculation. This consists of keeping her aroused, and firmly stimulating her G-spot with either your fingers or a sex toy, whatever she prefers, until she feels like she is ready. You can use your penis, but it's probably a good idea to practice where you can a) see and feel precisely what you are doing and; b) use something direct and firm to keep the pressure even, and you and her both in control.
She will probably feel the desire to urinate, but if she keeps this feeling alive and keeps going, it will eventually turn into a very intense sexual feeling. Once she's at this point, she is ready to ejaculate. Whatever happens, she needs to keep herself open and relaxed and let it flow. It may help her to push with her PC muscles (pelvic floor) if she feels it coming on but nothing seems to be happening — this will push it out. Keep stimulating her, and keep communicating about how it feels.
5. During The Ejaculation
Once she starts to ejaculate, a clear fluid will squirt or sprinkle out of her urethra. It can be quite a lot (about ¼ cup sometimes), so it may be a good idea to keep a towel handy, or put one underneath her if this is a concern. If mess is a real bother, try doing it in the bathroom or prepare your surface properly.
Love it or hate it, after all this experimenting you both would have learned a lot. Female ejaculation is not the easiest thing in the world to achieve, but once the pee phobia has been averted it can be a very enjoyable experience. It may not be something you want to do regularly, but may be put in the "special occasion" treasure chest.

In 1938, a new, purpose-built presidential palace was built just up the hill in a style that echoes the Kadriorg, but without quite so much flourish. Tourists can't normally see the inside, but they can watch the honour guards marching out front.

You can have too much of a good thing, especially when it comes to weight training. Performing resistance workouts daily, especially for the same body parts, does not yield big gains. Instead, it thwarts the development of muscle mass. How frequently you train depends on the design of your exercise plan.
Total-Body Training
If you approach muscle building from a total body approach, you'll need to train three to four times per week. Total-body training involves completing a series of multi-joint exercises during each workout to target all of the major muscle groups. Exercises such as the deadlift, squat, pull-ups, cleans and dips are examples. When you use compound exercises that stimulate multiple muscles in one move, you save time, target a greater number of muscle fibers in each workout and induce a greater release of growth hormone, which helps you to grow bigger. Since these workouts are exhausting and you need ample rest between them, doing them more than four times per week would be counterproductive and may lead to overtraining.
Split Routines
A split routine targets specific muscle groups on different days. With this strategy, you train between four and six days per week. For example, you might train your back and shoulders on day one, chest and abs on day two, legs on day three, and biceps and triceps on day four. Rest a day or two and repeat. You can resistance-train on back-to-back days because you are training different body parts each time, so you give the muscles worked the prior day a rest. A split routine enables you to do multiple exercises for each muscle group, which can lead to big gains.
Rest Time
You don't train seven days per week because the real muscle growth process happens when you rest. Lifting weights breaks down muscle fibers. When they repair, the fibers increase in number and girth, making your muscles bigger. Muscles generally need 48 to 72 hours between workouts to complete this repair process. If you train the same muscle groups to exhaustion day after day, they never have the chance to repair and grow. So, even if you plan a total-body routine for three days per week, leave at least a day between the workouts to maximize your growth process.
Other Muscle-Building Tips
Hitting the weights three to six times per week is a major part of a muscle-building strategy, but it isn't the only part. Proper hydration, nutrition and sleep are also essential in promoting healthy muscle gain. If you are just starting out with a weight-training program, aim for less frequent training. Your muscles need time to become accustomed to the new activity, and you don't want to burn out too quickly. Experienced lifters can aim for four to six workouts per week.

Athens, known as the Classic City, lost many of its classic buildings when the wrecking ball cleared streets like Prince Avenue of a number of antebellum homes. Instead of fluted columns and Greek porticos, developers erected bank buildings, restaurants and offices that would accommodate customers in sleek, geometrical structures that proclaimed utility and innovation as the architectural order of the day. The buildings allowed an increasingly affordable commodity, the car, easy access to their front doors.
These days, eye surgeon Dr. Anthony DeMarco is on the front lines of a new battle to preserve those geometric buildings.
Call it the battle of the box.
''These aren't yucky old buildings,'' DeMarco said. ''These are hot.''
Where some might see a squat brick building built in 1950, DeMarco sees an important piece of the past, put together with good solid workmanship. Rather than redo his angular offices in current fashions, he chose to accentuate them.
A soulless concrete courtyard at the front entrance on Chase Street became a sun-filled waiting room overlooking the street, decorated with sleek modern chairs rescued from a school building in Iowa. Drab, institutional wall paint was replaced with natural colors. Exam rooms for his eye patients were outfitted with antique instrument cabinets and exam chairs of various colors, reminders of the excitement about bright color and design that marked the 1950s.

''All the technology is brand, spanking new,'' he said. ''But a chair is a chair is a chair.''
The best materials he reserved for the waiting room, where patients spend, well, hopefully not too much time. There's original sculpture by his friend and artistic adviser Sam Gassman of New York, who crafted a circular chandelier that dominates the ceiling. There's a birchwood divider hanging at the reception desk, and a curving wall, suitable for hanging works of art.
In time, he's hoping other doctors in the sprawling complex will follow his lead, recapturing some of the 1950s aura in their own office upgrades.
So far, patients of Keller, Crymes & DeMarco are thrilled with the changes.
''It's really a classic modern building,'' said Mary Songster, who lives in the nearby Cobbham neighborhood. The style is great, she said, but the best thing about the doctor's complex is it's within walking distance of her street. The growing walkability in the Prince Avenue district, she said, will ensure the continued success of the Prince doctor's offices, along with newly renovated structures like the Bottleworks complex down the street, a mixed-use structure of restaurants, shops and apartments restored by historic preservationist Smith Wilson from an old Coca-Cola bottling plant.
The neighborhood is hanging on to a variety of buildings, from an historic jail to an old Salvation Army building.
''Not everyone is going to be inspired by a building, but to lose everything to one style is foolish,'' Songster said.
Not surprisingly, many older architects aren't gung-ho about 1950s creations in their midst, what they call mid-century architecture, a design period dominated by a wave of consumerism that often inspired building on a less than human scale. ''It was so easy; it was so cheap; a lot of it was done really poorly,'' said Danny Sniff, head of the University of Georgia Office of Campus Architects. ''On campus, we have plenty of examples of poor modern architecture. Look at Aderhold Hall. There's nothing elegant or redeeming about it.''
The waiting room chandelier is one of the many unique details at opthalmologist Dr. Anthony DeMarco's renovated office on Chase Street. DeMarco and his partners recently renovated their 1950s medical office space and are encouraging others to do the same.
Dot Paul/Staff
Designers tend to be either nostalgic about modernist architecture or to dismiss it as junk, Sniff said. Good local examples of the period include the angular Georgia Center for Continuing Education and the Lyons Apartments on Lumpkin Street, he said.
In Athens, there are signs of a growing appreciation of such mid-century architecture and design.
In 2000, the Georgia Museum of Art held an exhibition of 1950s furnishings, titled ''The American Environment: Decorative Arts of the Mid-20th Century.'' Featured items were the 1956 ''Marshmallow Love Seat'' by George Nelson and the ''Womb Sofa,'' designed by the renowned Finnish architect Eero Saarinen.
The Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation has been a key supporter of preserving modern architecture. For instance, the group gave James Bonds a preservation award in recent years for restoring his rib shack on nearby Broad Street. The boxy building is hardly a Frank Lloyd Wright original, but it fits the federal historic definition of a building 50 years or older, and Bonds had the foresight to restore it, said John Waters, an associate design professor at UGA.
Buildings at age 50 tend to be most threatened because they're often too old to be in fashion and too new to be considered by the public as truly historic. All the more reason to save them, Waters said.
''It represents a whole period of design,'' he said. ''Just because we don't appreciate it doesn't mean we'' shouldn't preserve it. ''I like any kind of design if it's good.''

It was storytime once again at the Aiken County Public Library on July 9. Only this time, the children were the storytellers.
Every Tuesday in July, students from a kindergarten to a fifth-grade reading level gather at the library to practice their reading skills.
However, instead of reading aloud to teachers, they read aloud to furry friends of different shapes and sizes – also known as therapy dogs.
The name of the program is Paws to Read.
For at least the last six years, SPCA Albrecht Center for Animal Welfare has hosted the Paws to Read program at the library and Millbrook Elementary, the Aiken Standard reported in January.
July 9 was the second day the library has held the program this year.
There are seven dogs that attend all four time slots, Kimberly McSpadden, children's librarian, said.
Some children come every week and, therefore, form a close bond with the dogs.
"It takes sort of a couple weeks for them to get use to the new dogs," McSpadden said. "By the end of the four or five weeks, if they come every week, you see them laying across the dogs, hugging on them. Last week, some of them even turned the book to show the pictures to the dogs. So they are interacting with them."
To set up for their readers, the volunteers took their dogs and scattered around the room. One laid out a blanket, as others sat on the floor. The remaining volunteers sat in chairs.
When the children came in, they examined the room and went to the dog they wanted to read to.
Nine-year-old Madison Willing chose Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Ava and her owner Cindi Steinmetz.
Steinmetz has been involved with the Paws to Read program for six months.
"Ava loves people," she said. "(This is) good for her, and it's good for these guys."
During Steinmetz's time with the program, she's seen some truly struggling readers.
"I've had some kids make up the whole story," she said.
But with Willing, it was different.
"I use to be really bad, but this is to help my reading," Willing admitted to Steinmetz.
"Well, you are doing a really good job," Steinmetz said.
And, with that, Willing went to go get her second book of the 20-minute session.
Seven-year-old William Hill had read Rob Scotton's "Splat the Cat: The Rain is a Pain" to Lucy Fenstermacher and cocker spaniel Sandy.
After he read the book, he decided to take a break and enjoy Sandy and Lucy's company.
"You read very well, William," Fenstermacher said.
Hill is no stranger to dogs, as he has two at home – Trix and Ruby.
He got Ruby two months ago, and his family found Trix on the side of the road.
"Lucky dog," Fenstermacher said about Trix.
What does Hill think about Sandy?
"He's fluffy, and he moves a lot," he said.
Hill received a sticker for his efforts that day.
Anyone can participate in the Paws to Read program, McSpadden said.
"It's just a way for the kids to feel comfortable and not pressure in their reading especially out loud, which is harder for kids," she said.
The volunteers are there to listen and only assist when asked, Steinmetz said.
The children can bring their own books or use the books provided, McSpadden said.
The therapy dogs also visit nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities, Steinmetz said.
The Paws to Read program occurs from 11 a.m. to noon.
To sign up, stop by the first floor circulation desk at the library, 314 Chesterfield St. S.W.

It's safe to say that today's NFL is filled with players that are slightly imbalanced, to say the least. A more blunt way of putting it is that NFL players are crazy as hell.
Just because a player gets a DUI, smokes some weed or acts like a fool on a regular basis doesn't necessarily mean you should be avoiding him come fantasy draft day. There's a history of very eccentric and troubled NFL players that have had fantastic careers.
Clinton Portis wore all those crazy-looking outfits for game day interviews, yet he still managed to be a fantasy stud in his prime.
Even the craziest trifecta of receivers the NFL has known in Chad Ochocinco, Terrell Owens and Randy Moss have had some insanely productive years.
The trick is knowing when to go all-in and when to fold, and I've found the five head cases that you should be going all in on come draft day.

Macaroni Penguin making its way to the sea 0R7E4021
Macaroni Penguin chugging along from colony to the South Atlantic Ocean (Eudyptes chrysolophus). The Greek name for this bird "eu" means good and "dyptes" means diver. These birds are found from the Sub-Antarctic to the Antarctic and were at one time considered the most numerous Penguin species however severe declines in their population numbers have now designated this bird of the sea as vulnerable.

...but maybe Monday!!!! Let's all have a GREAT weekend!
(did' that sound sincere?)
So Rose and Richman walk into a bar and there is no bartender (Drod quit due to incompetent management), Richman says he would like to have a Pina Colada. Rose goes out and runs a half mile to the beach climbs a coconut tree and runs back with a coconut to make the drink. On the way back he stops by the alcoholic beverage comission to get a license to make the drink and also stops by Trader Joe's to buy the rest of the ingredients to make the drink. He gets back to the bar in record time and mixes Richman the best Pina Colada ever. Trying to do the right thing for the shareholders of the bar, he tells Richman "that will be $7 please". Richman replies "What, after all the work I did! See you in court!"
Sentiment: Strong Buy
...so Drapkin walks into the bar and with the $16mil he won from Ron Perelman last year in the wrongful dismissal suit he decides to buy the place out as a retirement project. All of PIP and SIGA's lawyers go drinking to this bar every night for another 6 yrs.till they all run out of money. Meanwhile Drapkin drives his Bentley home every night from his bar.
Happy ending.
