We woke up early and had breakfast at Kokoro and then our tour bus picked us up and we went out to the Sky Tram to Zipline. It started raining so it was neat to be in the rainforest during a huge downpour. We trammed it up to the deck and got a lesson on how to zipline and were givien some natural juice before getting started. We made friends with the couple Chris and Peggy who were ziplining with us!
Our instructor was pretty funny explaining that to go you need to take "sexcie poscicion 1 like dis" and then he would lean back and pull his knees into his chest and lean back and then to break you would "take sexcie poscicion numbeer two" and would spread his legs as far as they could go. ( just reread that with a spanish accent in your head). If i had thought about it, i would have recorded it cus i was cracking up!
Afterwards we took turns zipping and photo and videoing each other. it was such a rush. on the longest one i couldnt help but feel in awe of the rainforest and the rainbow i went through. it was amazing!
one of our guides videoed him as he zipped so watch the video below.
when we got finished there was this crazy poisionous caterpillar back at the start that we tooka million photos of. it was INSANE. i had never seen a bug like that before.
We went back to kokoro and fixed a quick lunch. i started to feel really sick. the roads there are so bumpy and so curvy that i thought i was going to be sick.
Our next tour bus picked us up and we went to their ranchero for an authentic lunch. Thats when i started to get really sick. We loaded a bus and headed to our next stop. we got to this small unpaved country road and got out and loaded the back of a truck and had to hold on as we took the side of the mountain in first gear. OH MY, car sickness was kicking in. only good part was we were in open air so that helped but when we stopped i was so queasy. the country road was really a poor area and we saw some shanty houses which was sad
when we got to the top of the mountain we got our gear and hiked down a little bit and hooked in to start repelling. Right as we got hooked in i knew i was about to get sick so i unhooked and ran up the mountain as fast as i could. I got sick and i felt better after i just threw up. I ran back down and fortunately not everyone had made it down so they werent waiting on me. We repelled waterfalls up to 150 feet and got soaked! it was a lot of fun. you couldnt always tell what was below you so sometimes the rocks would sneak up on you or a big blast of water.
We finished the 5 repells and had to hike back up the mountain to get back to the truck. on the hike back i got sick and thought i was gonna pass out. I was really sick in the car and when we got back to the ranchero another girl on the tour gave me some accupuncture bracelets and charcoal pills to help with my motionsickness. We got back to our hotel and the boys made me shower and get in bed. I slept all afternoon, night and until the next morning. The left and went and ate and came back to check on me and make sure i had some food and then they went back out and partied. I was sad i couldnt go as i really wanted to dance but i was not feeling like myself.
Even though i was sick i had a great day and loved all the adventure we had!

It has now been six days since the main day of action called by the Stop the Arms Fair coalition against DSEi –the world's largest arms fair- held in the Excel Centre in East London. The dust will always take a little while to settle after big campaigning days such as Tuesday, but enough of a picture has emerged to process it through the word mill.
Firstly, we were not successful in shutting down the arms fair. If this sounds like too much of a pipe dream to have seriously been considered a possibility, it is always worth remembering that a concerted campaign by peace activists in Australia did bear this very result. Though we are unsuccessful this time around, we can take some comfort from the fact that it has been achieved before, and will be achieved again. Continue reading

Moria's strength doesn't matter one bit, the numbers just don't add up pure and simple. Sabo was with Ace at the time Moria lost his crew and he was likely still with his parents (if not already with Ace) around the time Moria and Kaido had a rivalry. It's ridiculous and inconceivable to look at the numbers and think Sabo could still be this big NW pirate at around this time, then come back to EB to be with Ace and Luffy for a bit, then be blown up, saved by Dragon and go back to being the NW pirate as if nothing happened. It's simply illogical.
Is Sabo alive? Possibly...quite likely even.
Is Sabo secretly Kaido? Possible...but Oda would need some ridiculous and serious retconing (the kind that could ruin a series) or allow gaping and glaring plot holes to make that happen. So...I'll go with No.
I'll just await to see the next arc's theory of who Sabo secretly is.

Luffy defeated Moriah at age 17+ , Moriah created Zombies for ten years after his defeat. So he lost at around when luffy was 7 and Sabo was 10 ( the year sabo supposedly died). So Yes few months of training only under Revolutionaries/dragon and couple that with a strong devil fruit power, could make a 10/11 years old person in one piece in defeating some one like brownbeard level. Chopper was only 15 years old without much training when he took part in fights alongside strawhats and won a few battle of his own at new world. Age doesn't matter.

Moria became a Shichibukai. He had a big reputation even before being defeated by Kaidou. He wasn't a 'Brownbeard' level pirate. I don't even know how you came up with that assumption. Brownbeard and Moria are on entirely different levels, and Luffy had a lot of help in defeating him. In fact, there are many who believe Moria was even more powerful 10 years ago than he is now (since he is so fat and lazy now).
Moria would not be appointed to the Shichibukai if he was defeated by a 10 year old. And a 13 year old Lucci raping random fodder is completely different from a 10 year old who had a few months of training defeating a shichibukai level pirate.
The problem with your 'theory' is that it doesn't make sense with the evidence presented to us in the manga. It is completely based in fantasy, hence why people are arguing against it. The logic you use is faulty (how can you equate a shichibukai being defeated and having his crew massacred by a child whose had a few months training with a government trained assassin child prodigy killing a bunch of no name fodder is beyond me). How does Sabo travel from East Blue all the way to the New World in a single year? On Dragon's ship? And Dragon just let a child leave on a whim? Obviously he had plans for him or else he wouldn't have rescued him (and according to you, allegedly trained him) in the first place. How can you equate Moria to Brownbeard when they are obviously worlds apart strength wise? There is nothing in your theory that makes sense.
Do you see the problem now?

Because he CAN possibly be alive. But that's just a possibility.
Possibility =/= fact =/= obvious.

I'm sorry, maybe you'll think I'm weird for this, but I'm not arguing probabilities when this is about a narrative. He either is alive or he isn't, and we won't know whether he is or not until he appears (or the story is over without him appearing), I cannot put a percentage on that.
To humor your question however, it's not obvious unless it's 100%.
I've had the same stance during the whole "Tobito" fiasco, and I still do.

In fact practically nothing is for certain in life and in One Piece. How do you know you're not dreaming that you actually exist? There is a chapter in the Zhuangzi which relates the story of how Zhuangi dreamed he was a butterfly, and he wondered whether he was actually a butterfly that was dreaming he was human or a human dreaming he was a butterfly.
How do you know that Whitebeard has died? What if the Whitebeard in the manga was actually Gol D Roger masquerading as Whitebeard? Isn't that technically possible?
We can only talk in probabilities because nothing is certain in life.

I find it interesting that you suddenly dediced that I am against speculation. I never said any such thing.
Not only that, but in your attempt to glorify speculation, you just proved that there is no 100% certainty, thereby contradicting your earlier statement that it was certain.

Speculation is what makes the whole thing interessting and keeps the forums running.
The real problem starts when people come and state their personal theories as facts.
A theory isn't a fact! It may become a fact later, but until it's proved, it's just a theory. And that is the problem.
Sabo beeing alive is a theory. One that's very likely, but since it's not confirmed it's still a theory.
Kaido beeing Sabo is a theory as well. Not as likely as the one before, but it may still become a fact.
People just need to understand the difference between confirmed facts and guesses.

Great now we are arguing about semantics.
I never said that Sabo being alive was a fact. I think it will become a fact some time in the future and I think it is quite obvious from the way that Oda has been portraying him and the situation.

Not a bad chapter. Kinda hope Cavendish gets the Mera Mera No Mi. But I see Cavendish winning D Block but Luffy winning the fruit and giving it to Rebecca. If we have to get a new member in this arch I hope its Cavendish(Very Unlikely). Kinda curious about Rebecca's past but her little stunt with Luffy was sad. Hopefully she does not receive the fruit. Luffy saving the fruit for later archs would be better idea or give it to Zoro.

Some things are so obvious that everybody knows it will happen because the Story demands them to happen because of the type of story and the flow of the story.
You see nobody arguing that Luffy will not become Pirate King and that Blackbeard is going to kill Luffy. Everybody who tries to argue that will be called out.
The same goes for Sabo being alive. Sabo is alive because he is. There is really no doubt about it even though we havent seen him yet, the same as Luffy becoming Pirate King even though we havent seen him become one yet.
The author has made it simple very obvious. Dragon coming back from watching the arrival of the World Noble with someone injured, the three sake cups at the grave of Ace(nobody expect the three brothers knew about it), Odas refusal to show Sabos face in the three brothers cover, his refusal to say that Sabo is dead.
Your only counter argument is that Oda might be a troll and that we havent seen him yet.
You could argue the same way about Luffy becoming Pirate King but nobody really will.

Bartolomeo attacked the gladiator that was making fun of Luffy. He also saw Cavendish attack Luffy. There's a possibility that Bartolomeo might end up attacking Cavendish and send him straight to the dumpster before the block D tournament starts. Just like what he did to that Vice Admiral.

I can't believe I actually made this but that's what happens at 5am...
With all due respect Whitemoon, you said I wasn't reading what you wrote but you just refuse to accept the math, numbers don't lie. What you are saying is illogical not only when referring to the timeline but also in terms of the power levels.
I believe it was you that talked about how "Theorists" are ridiculed by others...but some Theorists also have the bad habit of refusing to see what is in front of them and deny facts as it suits their theories. If you guys want respect and not be ridiculed, you could start with actually acknowledging counter arguments instead ignoring them, just saying "You're not reading what I'm writing" or repeating the same statement that has argued against as if it's absolute truth. There are actually people that like reading theories but also like to check the validity, not with the intent of ridiculing them but in order to see just how valid and possible they really are.
I'm not saying every theory is wrong nor am I saying that every theory with flaws is impossible. I'm also not saying that every theorist is the "La La La I can't hear you" type either...I'm just calling them like I see them.
...this is starting to sound like a Religion vs Science discussion >_>

Plus about the 10 year old defeating Moriah, It doesn't have to make sense in a real world sort of sense. It just have to make sense in One piece world context/
rules sort of sense.
Also Sabo didn't have to beat kaido directly. i already talked about how Gold D roger defeated Shiki or why Buggy hold a grudge against buggy. He could have achieved the feat in similar ways.
On another note, more directly storywise related, who else now think that Barto might actually end up fighting against the strawhats first before joining them ?
He would definitely be a great addition to straw-hats haha.

Mismatched pairs of simple things can inspire ingenious solutions
Henry Petroski
Keeping the cheese on the pie is only one problem with hot pizza. Another is getting the first slice out of the box. It is here that the square box actually works to advantage. While a round container would certainly be more geometrically matched to its contents, getting the pizza out of it could lead to considerable frustration, for if the fit were too snug fingers could not easily get under the crust to lift out a slice. With the box square, however, there is ample open space in the corners to get a full hand of fingers underneath the pie. Unfortunately, there can still be another hurdle to overcome before the slice is fully free, for the hot melted cheese tends to flow across the cuts defining the slices, effectively fusing them together in transit to the table. In this case, it can be virtually impossible to lift a slice apart from the rest of the pie without having some undesirable redistribution of cheese between adjacent slices or experiencing the stretching out of long strings of cheese that tie the adjacent slices together. When this happens, it is convenient to have a knife or wheeled cutter handy to sever the connections.
Some inventors, like still-life painters who crowd as much onto their canvas as possible, try to solve multiple problems with multipurpose devices crowded with features. Sometimes their inventions succeed; sometimes they do not. One pair of inventors looked to solve the sagging box top and stringy cheese problems with a single device, which they called a "combined pizza box lid support and cutter." Made of plastic to keep its cost down, the dual-purpose device resembles a rotary cutter but with the wheel's axle extending to about the height of a delivery box. Another team of inventors received a patent for a "combination food server and container lid support," which consisted of a pie-slice shaped spatula with its handle offset like that of a mason's trowel, the amount of the offset being roughly that of the height of the pizza box. (The patent even explained how the device could be inserted into a sliced pizza, so that the blade was under the pie and the handle above it, supporting the top.) Another inventor received a design patent for a combination fork and wheeled cutter, thereby enabling the fastidious pizza eater to cut and spear pieces of pizza without needing two hands free to manipulate a separate knife and fork.
Another team of inventors received a patent in 2007 for what they described as a "lid support and serving aid," which was embodied in a plastic tripod with one of its legs inclined, elongated and serrated so that it could be used to cut through cheese and crust to produce individual slices. The top platform of the tripod contained a hole large enough for an index finger so that a good grip could be had for executing the cutting process. The platform was also shaped so that individual tripods could be nested like function-room chairs, thus saving shipping and stocking space.
No matter how a slice of pizza is gotten free from its neighbors and from the box they all came in, there can still remain obstacles to neat and comfortable eating. Especially when they are hot, slices of pizza tend to be floppy and so extra care is required in lifting them to the mouth in a configuration that will not encourage cheese to slough off and oil to drip onto the eater's clothes. A number of inventors have patented pizza boxes with perforated tops and bottoms that allow wedge-shaped pieces of cardboard to be separated from the delivery box to be used as "plates" on which to serve individual slices of pizza. (Some come complete with thumb holes that can be punched out for easier holding.) This reuse of the box not only helps support saggy slices but also encourages the reuse at least of parts of otherwise throwaway boxes.
One traditional way of handling the sagging slice is to bend it along a radial line from tip to crust, effectively creating a trough that gives structural stiffness to the otherwise limp wedge. Interestingly, it is the same structural principle of folding that gives stiffness to the corrugated cardboard box that the pizza comes in and the dimpled paper plate that it is often served on. The principle can easily be demonstrated with a single sheet of paper. Unfolded, it will sag easily when lifted off a pile; folded one or more times—as is done in the process of making a paper airplane—the sheet has considerable stiffness to hold its shape. Achieving stiffness by folding is a ubiquitous technique in structural engineering, being exhibited in everything from corrugated tin roofs to sculpted concrete shells to molded automobile bodies.
The everyday actions of boxing, transporting and delivering a warm pizza, as well as those of separating, serving and eating a slice of the pie, provide familiar examples of how problems are perceived and solutions offered for the engineering and design of complex systems of all kinds. Indeed, anything made and used can serve to illustrate the processes of engineering, invention and design, and the more simple and familiar the thing employed, the more illuminating the example may be.

Howdy all,
Just getting started and was referred here by a nice guy who responded to a craigslist ad I placed looking for bees. I had signed up here last fall, but did not do much due to moving.
I moved to Oregon from Alaska last fall and have spent the winter reading and watching stuff about bees and more bees. Got a free hive that my brother in law was not using since he moved and some basic gear (hood, tool, smoker).
Got the hive set up, but since the move I have been short on cash so buying a nuc is not an option right now. So swarm capture it is! Got some advice and am on a list for an 'easy' swarm removal so with any luck I will be an official beekeeper sooner than I think.

McClain's duet with Bon Jovi is "Show Me the Way," on the just-released Give Us Your Poor: 17 New Recordings to Help End Homelessness (Appleseed), a nationally released fundraiser CD that also includes local blues veteran Weepin' Willie Robinson performing the R&B classic "Walking the Dog" with Bonnie Raitt.
What McClain and Robinson have in common with many of the other artists on the CD is that they know what it's like to be homeless. Octogenarian Robinson currently resides at downtown's New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans and McClain has lived on the streets of New Orleans and Nashville.
The disc took John McGah — a researcher at UMass-Boston's Center for Social Policy, and the director of Give Us Your Poor — two years to assemble.
Initially, the recording was to be the soundtrack for a documentary about homelessness that the organization is filming for public television, but the music took on a life of its own when the project re-focused on songs written by artists who've been homeless. McGah drafted stars such as Bon Jovi, Merchant, Raitt, Bruce Springsteen, Jewel, Keb' Mo', Madeleine Peyroux, and Michelle Shocked for marquee value and, whenever possible, paired them with the lesser-known authors of those often compelling, biographical songs.
For McGah, who played guitar and sang for 10 years in local band the Wait, the project was a natural. "Homelessness disconnects people — economically, spiritually, and from others — and music does the opposite. I saw this as an opportunity to dispel the myths of homelessness, which is one of the goals of Give Us Your Poor."
McClain, whose spiritual "Show Me the Way" was hand-picked by Bon Jovi, also joins Merchant on the album's "There Is No Good Reason," a song written by a 15-year-old homeless Minnesotan. A video featuring Merchant and McClain recording is viewable on YouTube.
"When I was on the street I encountered the additional hardships that myths about homelessness create," says McClain. "People won't look you in the eye or speak to you because they think you're gonna rob them or that you're lazy and worthless, or that you're outside by choice. Many homeless people have jobs and families and are hard workers. But people don't want to give you a job when you tell them your address is 11th and Third. When you sleep outdoors for days and can't take a bath, you look and smell like a bum, but that doesn't mean you're a bum. Sometimes when people would just look at me and speak to me like a fellow human being — forget anything else — it made me feel so good."

Attacks on the Press | Tunisia
President Aliyev: The Committee to Protect Journalists urges you to open a new page in your government's policies toward the independent and opposition press, one that would demonstrate tolerance for the critical role of media in a democracy. No other action would contribute to this goal as much as the immediate release of Eynulla Fatullayev, editor of the now-closed independent Russian-language weekly Realny Azerbaijan and the Azeri-language daily Gündalik Azarbaycan, who has been imprisoned since April 2007 on charges that range from defamation to terrorism.
News from the Committee to Protect Journalists
My country's international airport—as some may not know—has become the scene of the Tunisian regime's score-settling with its opponents. Opponents are no longer banned from traveling; this is a move to promote the idea that they are "free." However, if they do travel, they face difficulties at the airport, port, or border crossing in question.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

Nice pic! Scott looks amazing as usual.
seems interesting. got this little note from ff ---
Hi people, just thought I'd share with you here that I have set up a Virtue/Moir tinychat (tinychat.com/lovevm)
It's basically just a chat room, where people chat. Thought it might be nice to have somewhere like that, for live competitions or whatever. I haven't seen one for Virtue/Moir or skating, even though I chat in them for tennis and random chats with other people.
You don't have to sign up for it or anything. You just have to put a username in, I'm not sure if it works while I'm offline though, I don't think it does. I'm going to look into if anyone else wants to 'host' it too, basically has the log in details as I'm in a different timezone to most I think. GMT. I'm 'live' now if anyone is on here and wants to come chat.lol only for about another hour though.
Or tomorrow, I will be online 'live' from 7pm GMT, just thought I'd let you know in case anyone is interested.
Oh and will be 'live' during the Finlandia Trophy competition too.
Iggie.......you're such a great fan..you never fail to amaze me........I'm going to try to get on during Finlandia.
BTW....I asked earlier (a few pages ago ) if anyone was going to Worlds but no-one answered, so PM me if you get the chance. I'd love to meet with whoever will be there.
thanks clarie.
Clarie I am going to worlds.
Wednesday to Sunday. Staying at the Holiday Inn Express.
Are you going to Nats? I can only go day 1 so need someone to look after the VM banner.
I am also not going to skate canada so if you are you can take it there. The picture sent by Pani looks great - now I only have to get some cloth and attach the vinyl to it and put a message.
Not going to Nats, or Skate Canada this year. I hope you find someone to look after the banner; however, at least there will be the two of use to admire it at Worlds.(and to keep an eye on it) I can't wait to see your handiwork, so maybe it will be shown on TV .
Clarie the picture was done professionally so it will only be the writing - hope its not too clumsy as I am not good at crafts. I thought I would go to Fabricland and get the material and maybe some craft place and get spray paint and stencils for the words. Or I will cut out those colourful felt pieces and glue on? If I can get alphabets ready made I will go with that!
Cant wait to see! When we will have a chance?
next week is a long weekend so I will try and get it begun. The picture is just wonderful though its rather large - hope I dont have to cut their skates off!
Hope all will be OK
After Nebelhorn i start nervose even more. And all this talk about I-K masterpice programs, P-B masterpiec and WP masterpiece FD we will have amazing season in ice dance for watch
Well, I don't know. At the beginning of the year, every coach & choreographer & fan dreams that all the programs are jewels, but some will still be plastic.
I am hoping that everyone's favorites have jewels this year.
So far, I'm enjoying the Yankee Polkas more than last year's Rhumbas, though, although there hasn't been a lot to look at yet.
But for some people only there favorite skaters alwayse have jewels programs
I could only say at this point i notice two programs i really think have potential to be a masterpice - B-S FD and Gillis-Porie FD
Honestly i dont like polka overall. I like Zlobina-Sitnikov programs and they show real polka spirit, but on Monko-Khalyvin example i could see this dance not siute to tall teams with good long lines
I prefer rhumba with its edges and blues. I think blues must skate senior teams and polka- juniors.
Well, the juniors have enough trouble with the Blues-the YP is too tough for them so far. But the Blues/Hiphop and Blues/Swing have yielded some pretty decent choreography, so I hope sometime the seniors will skate that combo, if the SD isn't ditched after Sochi, which I suspect it will be.
This really made me hate ISU - they made this stupid SD and uplifting-rythm rules when my favorite team compete
I think we were happy at least to see Mahler.
Why when V-M compete they did all changes and i am sure after Sochi we will see only OD and FD without special rules about uplifting.
Kaitlyn Weaver mentioned in the interview posted in this section that she thinks that Tessa and Scott are the best ice dancers in the world right now.
"I believe they are the most well rounded team on the circuit and incorporate not only a finely honed technical skill, but also great choreography and story telling."
God I hope so. Not a fan of the SD overall but I must say V&M SD in 2011 wasIMO but yes too bad they can't get rid of it before Sochi.
I like the SD because there is a theme and I get to see compulsories, but I'd rather go back to the three dance format.
Yess! I wish to see 3 dance again.
Although one change I might make would be to allow the skaters to choose their own music. That could get rid of the some of the monotony that people experienced during the compulsory dance. After all, most casual viewers can't tell anything apart anyway except for the music.
Using the same music and doing the same steps really allowed a comparison of apples to apples, so to speak. The casual fan might not be able to tell things apart except the music but I'm of the mind that when it comes to sorting out these teams, the opinion of the casual fan shouldn't matter when it comes to the standings. It's ice dance, not American Idol.
I understand your argument, but one of the reasons why compulsories were phased out was because complained about how boring they were. I don't know if you remember Olympic Ice from Turin (the NBC/USA figure skating talk show) but Mary Carillo and Dick Button kept going on about how boring the compulsories were and Mary was so shocked when she found out that they used to be popular in Europe.
So if the audiences could be somehow tricked into thinking that there was more originality, the judges could still judge the quality of the patterns.
I've been watching skating since 1992, so I know that some find them boring to watch. That said, I still think they served a very important purpose in sorting these dance teams out.
I'd be happy to be back to a 3 dance format, letting skaters pick their own CD music.
How do you think, when Tessa-Scott will arrive to Finlandia?
And who will go with them - Marina? Or maybe Mauricio, he will be there with his ice dance teams from Finland.
I was wondering when they would arrive too, but I felt I was beginning to be a bit obsessive so I stopped lol. I'm really excited though, but also a bit nervous because what if I don't like the programs or what if I do like them, but others don't? (I'm probably being obsessive again).
I think Marina will be with them.
I am nervouse about how new programs will look like, what about levels, will people like new programs ect
I think any program some people like, some - no. I hope i will like new programs from T-S.
Cant wait to see how judges will like Bobrova-Soloviev FD.
I think Marina will be there. But she have so many other teams...
I feel like Tessa and Scott will get their levels, if not at Finlandia, then at least when it matters at the GPF when they actually have a chance of not winning if they aren't 100%.
Anyway, I don't really care whether other fans like Tessa and Scott's programs or not. There will always be the haters who will say that Tessa and Scott shouldn't win any major competitions, but they will continue to be at or at least near the top through Sochi barring any injuries. As for their choreography, I don't think Marina will give them anything bad, and they could make a Kustarova program look amazing, so I'm not worried.
But its OK - all have there own opinion. I am more worry about technick (read not good words about Marina from Werner and he think this will be big revality in Finland, but i dont think so). And what a personally will feel about V-M new programs
Well - I'm pumped. I just know they will be great. My only regret is that at the start of each year I know we are one step closer to that day they no long compete. That will be a crushing year for me. I love many other skaters - but i have such a huge amount of love for Tessa and Scott and look so forward to what they bring each season. I'm on pins and needles!!

A sexual position where the women lays face to face, on top of a man, legs closed, and moves in vertical, horizontal, and circular motion. This position allows the woman to stimulate her clitoris and enjoy the sensation of penetration. The end result is a clitoral and vaginal orgasm at the same time. This feeling will leave a woman feeling like The Supergirl. Position is given this name because it is a balancing act to stay on top and it is a position that looks similar to the superhero pose of flying.
Me and my boyfriend were experimenting one night and he told me to try The Supergirl. Omg I had the best orgasm.

About the Hendricks Center
Dr. Howard G. Hendricks, known simply as "Prof," directly or indirectly touched millions of lives in the evangelical community and beyond. For more than sixty years Prof served on the faculty of Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS), where he taught more than ten thousand students. He served as the chairman of the Center for Christian Leadership for over twenty years. He also ministered in person in more than eighty countries. Through speaking engagements, radio, tapes, films, the sixteen books he authored and coauthored, countless journal and popular-market articles, his service on numerous boards, and his work as a chaplain to the Dallas Cowboys (1976–1984), his reach was and is worldwide.
His legacy, in partnership with Jeanne, his wife of more than sixty-five years, includes four children and six grandchildren. Holding large audiences enthralled at venues such as Billy Graham's conference center or Promise Keepers' stadium rallies, Prof would confide, "It's wonderful to be here with you, but I have a group of delicious students waiting for me back at the seminary."
The Hendricks Center pursues the study, practice, and development of effective Christian leadership in order to build leaders of integrity and impact. We endeavor to become a premier resource center for Christian leadership development.
Cultural Engagement
The Hendricks Center also produces resources and conferences that touch on the connection between God and culture, treating issues of public square discussion about Jesus, the Bible, theology, early Christianity, and everyday life.


text: Voltage and current sine waves are in-phase when they peak and cross the zero axis at the same time. However, this rarely happens and only in AC circuits containing pure resistances. Most AC circuits contain some type of inductance, in which case the current waveform lags the voltage or reaches its peak slightly after the voltage waveform. A lagging current indicates an inductive circuit.

We are committed to the fight for economic justice and workers' rights. In order to put our resources to use in a way that creates maximum impact, we focus on these core issues:
Ending Wage Theft
More than 16,000 workers come into IWJ workers centers for help each year, and 80 percent are victims of wage theft (the illegal underpayment or non-payment of workers' wages). Wage theft happens in every industry, victimizing millions of workers. Our goal is to put an end to wage theft.
In line with efforts to end wage theft, IWJ and other worker advocates around the country are pushing the Department of Labor to issue a Paystubs for All regulation that would require employers to provide workers with documentation of how their pay is calculated and what deductions are taken out.
Corporate Justice
Corporations like Walmart and McDonalds have standardized poor working conditions, low pay and stifled collective bargaining rights. Our goal is to urge corporations to become leaders in an economy that uplifts the Common Good.
Comprehensive Immigration Reform
The time to reform our broken immigration system is now. More than 11 million undocumented people are living in this country. Without legal status immigrant workers are victims of every kind of labor abuse and cannot protect their rights without fear of deportation. Our goal is to reform America's immigration system with a clear path to citizenship and strong worker protections.
Raise the Federal Minimum Wage
All religious traditions affirm that work contributes to the dignity and worth of a person. The goal is an honest wage for an honest days work! Our goal is a federal minimum wage that is also a living wage and indexed inflation so it stays a living wage.
Paid Sick Days
More than 40 million workers in this country – and more than 80 percent of low-wage workers – don't have a single paid sick day. Our goal is to raise core workplace standards for American workers and make paid sick days a standard for all workers.
Health and Safety
Millions of individuals in the workforce are faced with jobs where they are not guaranteed a safe and healthy work environment. IWJ is working with affiliates to train on health and safety work in the work place, doing outreach and organizing workers and worker-leaders.
Affirming the Right to Organize
In other industrialized countries, CEO's are paid 10 to 25 times more than workers. In the U.S., CEO pay is 400 times the average worker's wages. That gap is growing. And it is worse in those places where the organized voice of workers has been silenced. Our goal is to protect the right of workers to stick together.

What are you thankful for?Monday, November 22nd, 2010
Everyone has something to be thankful for, and when better to share those blessings than with The Evening Sun's readers on Thanksgiving Day? At least that's what my coworkers and I try to convince people of every year around this time, as we pound the pavement looking for "Thankfuls."
"What are you thankful for?" we ask basically everyone we meet until we find the requisite number of people (this year 6) who will agree to both a.) answer said question and b.) have their photo taken for publication.
In past years, it's been something of a chore to fill my quota. I've had to use all manner of persuasion. But for some reason, that wasn't the case this year. Maybe it's the economy, or too many families touched by the Big C, but people seemed more willing than usual to share with me what they are most thankful for.
Sure, I still had to strong arm a couple of them on the photographic end, but it wasn't too much of a hard sell. (Honestly, I can't believe they fell for the whole "touch up" thing. Tee hee.)
The exercise really got me thinking about all of the things I'm thankful for as well. The biggest tickets items on that list, so to speak, will once again be the topic of my Thanksgiving Day column. This will be my third year penning the piece, so I guess you could say it's become something of a tradition for me.
But there are a lot of other, smaller things which I'm thankful for as well. Some of them may seem insignificant to some of you, but they are blessings in my opinion none the less. So, with your reading enjoyment in mind, I've decided to make them the running theme in my blogs this week.
Here are just a few of the things I'm thankful for…
- My Franklin Covey 2-page per day planner. I learned the hard way last January what life would be like without this life-saving piece of planning equipment. It's an experience I never want to endure again – which is why ordering my 2011 refill is on my to-do list this week. I rely heavily on this planning tool to keep my life in order. And it never lets me down.
Unfortunately, there is such a thing as "operator error." Like, say, when you write down an appointment on the wrong day. Which is what I did when I made note of a program at Oxford High School I'm attending this week. Tomorrow, actually. Unfortunately, I had it written down today. While I try to be a little early, 24 hours seems excessive, don't you think?
But that's okay. Because I used my time in Oxford to gather the aforementioned Thankfuls.
- The chocolate chip cookies at Hoppie's. I can never seem to resist these freshly baked, chocolate laden treats. They are the ultimate comfort food, and can basically heal all wounds. Such as the shame and guilt of showing up for an appointment a day early. (See above.)
- Pizza. Whether it's by the slice – my fall-back lunch option of choice – or an extra large pie enjoyed with friends, there is just nothing about pizza that I DON'T like. While I'm not averse to toppings, my old stand-by is plain cheese. New Park Pizza in Howard Beach will always be the gold standard to which I compare all others, but I've scoped out many a worthy slice in good old Chenango County.
- Wing Night at The Stadium. I'll take The Stadium's always-crispy wings (preferably the honey barbecue variety) any day of the week, but Thursday nights are my favorite. Not because of the price break, although, hey, that's not a bad thing. I actually like how crowded the place gets. It's like a high school reunion every week! And some times it feels good to reconnect with people you haven't seen since, well, the last time you logged on to Facebook.
- Cupcake Euphoria. I know, I know, you're probably sick to death of hearing me go on and on about the Oxford Community Youth Center's now-annual fundraiser. I simply can not help myself. I'm a huge fan of their highly entertaining, utterly decadent take on the traditional bake sale concept. Even if I will have to spend some serious time at AIM Fitness as a result of my cupcake intake this weekend.
Friday night did not disappoint, as I'm sure anyone who attended the event can attest. The restaurants, caterers and bakeries who donated cupcakes for the cause simply outdid themselves. With so many incredibly delicious entries, my fellow judges (the true experts – Sue Ryan from Canasawacta Country Club and Kelly Banks of Kelly Banks Cakes in New Berlin) and I had our work cut out for us. But don't worry, we were more than up for the task.
When the last crumbs had settled, it was Jennifer Rice of Ideal Sweets who walked away with the Fairest Cupcake honors in the Best Tasting categories with her sinfully delicious Triple Raspberry Chocolate concoctions. (Jennifer – I'm still dreaming about them!)
Most Creative went to Mimi's Italian Cuisine of Greene, for their truly creative contribution to the event – pizza cupcakes! (I know you're shocked I was a fan.) And in the Best Decorated class, DCMO BOCES Culinary Arts student Jessie Tayler from Greene stole the show with her snowflake design, which took top marks for difficulty and execution. She should certainly be proud because she was up against some very tough competition, and both Sue and Kelly said her entry showed amazing technique.
We three judges also chose to recognize 4 other contributions for Best in Show, for their overall effort and the creativity of their display. In no particular order they are:
- Patty Izzard, whose groovy tie-dyed cupcakes and 70's themed display were a show stopper to be sure.
- Jessica Cole of The Stadium for what I like to think of as the Football Field of (Cupcake) Dreams – complete with mini cupcake players sporting Nilla Wafer helmets.
- Karolyn's Krossroads Cafe in Norwich, whose chocolatey cream cheese confections topped with chocolate swirls were both delicious and delightful to the eyes. (I particularly loved the striped chocolate pigs which complemented the display.)
- Price Chopper of Norwich, for their tremendous support of the Youth Center and Cupcake Euphoria. Representatives from the local store set up a huge display with dozens of cupcake varieties, all of which were a huge hit. Particularly, ahem, the Boston cream cake in a cup. Or at least that's what I heard…
A special thanks (again) to Linda LaRosa-Mosner and the entire Youth Center board for all their hard work and, most importantly, for the invitation to judge the delightfully tasty competition.
Pictures of the event will be going up soon on The Evening Sun's Facebook page.

Excerpt: "THE GAME: The New York Giants (5-7) at the San Diego Chargers (5-7) at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, 4:25 p.m. ET
THE WEATHER: I can see why Eli Manning didnt want to play here. Somehow, every time I come to this city, the weather stinks. On Sunday, its only supposed to be in the mid-50s! Thats like fall in New York not the supposedly perfect weather San Diego is always bragging about. Worse, on Saturday, the temperatures are supposed to be in the 50s with 20-30 mph winds and a 90 percent chance of rain. How am I supposed to golf?!?
WHAT IT MEANS: On Friday, I posted the scenario by which the Giants will be eliminated from the playoff chase this weekend if they lose. What you need to remember is any loss the rest of the way basically dooms them. So even though we through around the must-win cliché often, theyre all pretty much must-wins the rest of the way until they dont. Ditto for the Chargers, who have the same miserable record as the Giants though theyre only one game out of the last AFC wild-card spot and have a slightly more reasonable shot at the playoffs.
THE PICK: Were you impressed by the Giants win over the Redskins last Sunday night? I sure wasnt. They fell in a 14-0 hole to an absolutely awful team and needed an assist from the referees at the end of the game to preserve the victory. The Giants offense, as always, remains off track and the defense wasnt exactly great until the second half and really the fourth quarter. Stopping the awful Redskins, though, is a different challenge than flying across country and stopping Philip Rivers, who is having a fantastic year (70% completion, 3,633 yards, 23 touchdowns, nine interceptions) despite no rushing attack (21st in the NFL) and an unimposing group of receivers. This is a Chargers team that beat the Chiefs in Kansas City and lost by a touchdown to the Broncos, and they have the NFLs fourth-best offense (401.6 yards per game). This is an even bigger test for the Giants defense than the Cowboys game two weeks ago, which they lost 24-21. And yes, the Giants defense has been very good since the 0-6 start. I do not, in any way, chalk up their performance to only the string of underwhelming opponents. But are you counting on another four-sack performance from Justin Tuck? Im not, and without Jason Pierre-Paul, I have to wonder where the pressure will be on Philip Rivers. I know the Giants are hot winners of five of their last six and their determination and resiliency is impressive. But it has to end sometime because they are not making the playoffs. And I think the combination of a cross-country flight their only one of the season and a quarterback who can stand in the pocket and pick a defense a part is just a little too much for a team hanging by a thread. Its been a nice run, it really has. They gave everyone a reason to believe when, after 0-6, it should have been over. But its only a dream, not at all reality. And it will end on Sunday afternoon.
Final Score: Chargers 27, Giants 17
Record picking Giants games: 8-4.
For the record: The Giants are now 1-4 when I pick them to lose, and 4-3 when I pick then to win." Read more...

AZ legislature "fixes" new immigration law
posted at 10:55 am on April 30, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
After becoming a nine-day wonder on the national political stage, the Arizona legislature has amended its new law on immigration enforcement. Byron York notes that the conditions for investigating the residency status have gotten less ambiguous and more reflective of the intent of the legislature:
In the past days, some critics of the new Arizona immigration law have said that it will lead to Arizona becoming a police state. Many of the criticisms — some including the words Nazi and fascist — have been based on a general objection to the law and to the enforcement of the country's immigration laws. But some have been specifically focused on a few key phrases in the law. …
The first concerns the phrase "lawful contact," which is contained in this controversial portion of the bill: "For any lawful contact made by a law enforcement official or a law enforcement agency…where reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien who is unlawfully present in the United States, a reasonable attempt shall be made, when practicable, to determine the immigration status of the person…" Although the drafters of the law said that the intent of "lawful contact" was to specify situations in which police have stopped someone because he or she was suspected of violating some other law — like a traffic stop — critics said it would allow cops to pick anyone out of a crowd and "demand their papers."
So now, in response to those critics, lawmakers have removed "lawful contact" from the bill and replaced it with "lawful stop, detention or arrest." In an explanatory note, lawmakers added that the change "stipulates that a lawful stop, detention or arrest must be in the enforcement of any other law or ordinance of a county, city or town or this state."
"It was the intent of the legislature for 'lawful contact' to mean arrests and stops, but people on the left mischaracterized it," says Kris Kobach, the law professor and former Bush Justice Department official who helped draft the law. "So that term is now defined."
I agree that this issues of this passage got exaggerated, but it points out some sloppiness on the part of legislators as they passed this into law. Did they somehow think that opponents would not parse the language carefully? After all, it wasn't just people on the Left who objected to the vague notion of "lawful contact" in this passage. Plenty of people on the Right also expressed concern about the potential for police to assume expansive powers to stop and question people with no probable cause other than assumptions about immigration status. Even some of the police in Arizona objected to it.
The Arizona legislature could have saved everyone the trouble by defining the parameters from the beginning. Governor Jan Brewer more or less had the same criticism, signing the bill but issuing an executive order to clear up the ambiguity by establishing rules for "lawful contact" simultaneous to the bill signing. The change now makes plain the intent to have Arizona law enforcement check residency status while enforcing the other laws of the state, a common-sense approach that other states should also adopt — since the federal government stubbornly refuses to enforce their own existing laws.
The new clarifications are welcome indeed, and should defuse the controversy that threatened to distract the GOP from the larger issues of economic crisis and government encroachment. But just as with the surprises that we keep finding in the ObamaCare bill, the entire problem could have been avoided had the legislature paid more attention to the details before voting it into law.

The nickel finish was discontinued. As it's no longer offered, there will be less of them.
As for value, if it's in good shape, and rare it should retain value better than another model.
However, if it's the shiny nickel as opposed to satin nickel, it is a fragile finish and one scratch will make you want to slit your wrists. Nothing looks worse than a nickel gun with flaking or scratches.
If you plan on carrying the gun, go stainless or blackened stainless.

The BVB tactician feels his side are playing well and should claim three points from their trip to Bavaria but he is not taking anything for granted
The reigning German champions have not had the best of starts in their bid to retain their domestic crown as they sit in fifth place in the Bundesliga - 11 points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
However, after some encouraging results, most notably in their double-header with Real Madrid in the Champions League - where they claimed four from a possible six points - Klopp says his team are displaying signs of improvement.
"I think my team has shown they are in good form," he told a press conference.
"Augsburg will be a hard opponent. Though some people may just look at the table and say this game will be easy going, it won't. We will have respect for them.
"We know Augsburg and we watched their game against Hamburg. It was impressive and those games can happen if your not concentrating and remaining focused.
"We want to keep winning. Against Stuttgart we lost points but we should get three here. We are aware of Augsburg but basically we want to win that's it."

In this portrait, commissioned by the Straits Association in commemoration of Swettenham's service, Sargent presented his subject as a proud and powerful consul. Sargent's attention to the finery of his subject's clothes and possessions draws attention to his position as a colonial administrator.

Reviews for this host's other properties
We were in the apartment of Richard my husband, my daughter and myself. The apartment is tiny but very well conditioned, with everything you need and very centrally located five minutes from the Santa Justa Elevator. Richard was a good host and we were very comfortable, the only drawback I could put are the narrow climb stairs to the apartment.
Estuvimos en el Apartamento de Richard mi marido, mi hija y yo. El apartamento es pequeñito pero muy bien acondicionado, con todo lo necesario y muy céntrico, a cinco minutos del elevador de santa justa. Richard fue un buen anfitrión y estuvimos muy a gusto, el único inconveniente que podría poner son las angostas escaleras de la subida al apartamento.
I have really enjoyed the days i spent in lisbon and one of the reasons is the place i rented... from the flat you can go walking to a lot of places and you have everything you need there... i didnt met richard but he answeed all my questions very fast using this web... if i ever travel back to lisbon and im sure i will i would try to stay in the same place... so thank you richard for being a part of my trip and thank you for beong so nice with me
We arrived and waited an old lady who did not understand English, the floor was as images but was a bit dirty, for example in the bedding had a speck of blood that gave us some impression of dirt, wifi did not work at any time, the floor was well equipped and well positioned, the lady who greeted us was friendly but lacked hygiene and care of someone who understands at least a minimum of English
Llegamos y nos atendió una señora mayor que no entendía nada de ingles,el piso era según las imágenes pero estaba un poco sucio,por ejemplo en el edredon había una manchita de sangre que nos dio un poco de impresión de suciedad,el wifi no funciono en ningún momento,el piso estaba bien equipado y bien colocado,la señora que nos atendió era amable,pero faltaba higiene y una atención de alguien que entienda por lo menos un mínimo de ingles
This apartment is in the historical center of Lisbon, near the places such as Bairro Alto, Alfama, Castelo.
There are a lot of interesting places at walking distance such as restaurants, bars and cultural activities, and the transportation are nearby (Metro or train).
The apartment in itself offers all the required comfort and has a spacious kitchen in which it's very pleasant to cook local foods.
Richard is a very comprehensive owner and it was a pleasure to talk and arrange our stay with him.
We spend 4 comfortable nights at Richards appartment. Although we never met him, communication was fast and easy.
+ great flat for a couple of 2 people (more would be too many in my eyes)
+ very central (within walking distance to cais do sodre)
+ good price/value
+ well-equipped kitchen (no oven though)
+ 2 electric heaters help during cold season
+ cosy and warm athmosphere
+ wifi works well
+ great view from kitchen window, sunlight shining through the living room window
- tall people may bump their heads on low ceiling
- some installations might need repairing (toilet seat lose, shower hose sprays, bed squeaks, bedroom window blind doesn't open anymore)
- many stairs to climb
All in all a good temporary home away from home!
Nice apartment. So ideal for children or couple. Who facilitated us very helpful keys. Unfortunately no television.
Bom apartamento. Ideal para casal so ou com filhos. Quem nos facilitou a chaves muito atenciosa. Infelizmente sem televisão.

Un très beau séjour dans ce pays.
Et le propriétaire, Richard, très sympathique, et agréable. Il est également très disponible.
Toute la famille a beaucoup apprécié cette personne.
Au plaisir de vous revoir.
The apartment was super nice, just like the picture. Richard was a great host and let us leave the luggage in the apartment before the official check in. The city was really beatiful and the apartment location is perfect for an unforgettable Lisbon experience.
Lovely, cosy flat in the heart of Lisboa. (View to the water inclusive)
Perfect to stay with two people for longer, with 3 (witch we where) fine for a couple of days!
We got he key by a lovely old woman from the neighborhood, it worked out fine!

All kinds of new North Carolina books
Summer has suddenly come to an end. And I bet there is a stack of books by your bed or somewhere in your house, ones you meant to read this summer.
Watch out!
Here comes another batch of new North Carolina books, some of which belong at the top of your pile and others you ought to know about, even though they might not end up in your reading pile.
It has been gone for 50 years, but people still talk about the Dixie Classic, that holiday basketball tournament with Duke, Carolina, State and Wake and four more of the best teams in the country. Greenville's Bethany Bradsher, author of "The Classic: How Everett Case and His Tournament Brought Big-Time Basketball to the South," follows the Classic from its origins to its scandalous end. She will be the guest on UNC-TV's North Carolina Bookwatch on Friday, September 28, at 9:30 p.m. and Sunday, September 30, at 5 p.m.
Charlotte poet Judy Goldman's two novels, "Early Leaving" and "The Slow Way Back," explored the complicated, beautiful, and painful relationships that come with being part of a family. Now she turns her poet's and storyteller's talents to a memoir, "Losing My Sister." It tells the story of her family and her complicated and sometimes hurtful relationship with her sister. Their anger at each other runs side by side with their love. It is a poignant relationship that will resonate with everyone who has a sibling. (Oct. 5, 7)
Ten years ago, David Cecelski's great book, "The Waterman's Song," introduced me to Abraham Galloway, an ex-slave from Wilmington who became an incredible leader of blacks in North Carolina during the Civil War and later in state government. I became fascinated with Galloway and wrote then, "He is my candidate for North Carolina's greatest civil rights hero. He packed into his short life a story of an escape from slavery, intrigue and dedication, leadership and audacity, and political achievement that is as inspiring as the tales of Robin Hood, King David, and Rob Roy MacGregor." I waited a long time for Cecelski to tell me more. Now he has done it with his new book, "The Fire of Freedom: Abraham Galloway and the Slaves' Civil War." (Oct. 12, 14)
Longtime Charlotte lawyer Jon Buchan represents newspapers and once was a reporter for The Charlotte Observer. Now he is a novelist. His powerful first book, "Code of the Forest," is about inside politics in both Carolinas. Political and business leaders look out for each other based on loyalties formed in exclusive prep schools and at hunting lodges deep in the forest. Buchan also takes his readers through the terrible and challenging mess a libel action lawsuit can be. (Oct. 19, 21)
Novelist Lee Smith says that this book is "deeply moving, disturbing, haunting, and important." She is talking about "Leaving Tuscaloosa," the debut novel of Walter Bennett, a former lawyer and judge. He is also known as the husband of N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences retiring director, Betsy Bennett. Walter Bennett's "Leaving Tuscaloosa" is set in the 1960s and features two Tuscaloosa, Alabama, teenagers, one white, Richeboux Branscomb, the other black, Acee Waites, who, although they are the same age and live in the same town, hardly ever cross paths, until their parallel lives explode tragically and memorably. (Oct. 26, 28)
One of the greatest horrors of slavery was the breakup of families. A husband sold away from his wife, a mother from her child. UNC-Chapel Hill Professor Heather Andrea Williams tells another chapter in that story. Her new book, "Help Me to Find My People: The African American Search for Family Lost in Slavery" relates how separated families attempted to find each other and reunite, before and after the Civil War. (Nov. 2, 4)
