The trip to Eastern Europe, an opportunity to look indepth at the sites of the Nazi domination of Europe in the mid-twentieth century, consists of three major site visits: Berlin, central and southern Poland, and Prague. We begin in Berlin because it was the nexus of Nazi power. We visit what remains of the various Nazi ministries and bunkers, the monuments that exist or are under construction, artists' views of the history of this place-from artists' Renata Stih and Dr. Frieder Schnock's installation in the Bayerischer Platz to the monuments to the Nazi book burnings at the Bebelplatz and the heroic women of Rosenstrasse. And we reveled in the remarkable architecture and installations at the new Judisches Museum (Jewish Museum) in Berlin, designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, recently named architect overseeing the rebuilding of the World Trade Center site.
Also part of our experience of Berlin is the postwar city, divided as it was by the Berlin Wall until 1989. We visit the remnants of the wall in several places in the city and we spend a considerable amount of time at the Haus der Checkpoint-Charlie, learning about the efforts of many people to escape from East to West during the Cold War.
Moreover, no visit to Berlin would be complete without seeing some of its cultural treasures and museums. Each year has been different; in 2003, we visited the perennial favorite-the Pergamon Altar and the Ishtar Gate, both at the Pergamon Museum in the former East Berlin-as well as the Henri Matisse exhibition at the Berggruen Stiftung at Charlottenberg and the remarkable Old Master paintings collection at the Gemaldegalerie.

Mead told the financial newspaper that, "You'll see more coming from Apple on LTE. They understand the value proposition of LTE and I feel very confident that they are going to be a part of it." While your thoughts about Apple and LTE might jump immediately to the iPhone 5, no particular product was mentioned by Mead and the Verizon executive did not bring up any timeframe when all of this might happen. There is speculation about whether or not the next version of the Apple iPhone will be LTE enabled.
Apple has said that they had left LTE out of the Verizon version of the iPhone 4 because to do otherwise would have required a re-design of the product that Apple did not want to get involved with at the time.
As for speculation that iPhone 4 sales were sluggish at Verizon, CEO Mead refuted that by saying that the carrier sold more units of the Apple iPhone 4 during the handset's launch than any other device in the carrier's history. Mead also said that Verizon will report precise iPhone sales during the release of its next quarterly earnings report.

Ed. Note: CHFF has produced plenty of epics over the years. A version of this study of the evolution of the passing game originally ran in November 2008, and is updated through the 2012 season. It was named one of the top stories in the nation during the 2009-09 football season; NFL Films is visiting the CHFF world headquarters this week to talk to us about this story for an upcoming episode of its "A Football Life" series. By Kerry J. ByrneCold, Hard Football Facts Golden Goose Rookie quarterbacks Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson and second-year newcomer Colin Kaepernick were three of the great stories of the 2012 NFL season.
They were three inexperienced players who quickly came in and dominated NFL defenses with hugely productive and efficient play while leading their teams to the playoffs. Kaepernick nearly won the Super Bowl in just his 10th NFL start. Wilson was a particular surprise: an under-sized third-round draft pick who looked like a seasoned old pro by about the time he torched the powerhouse Patriots for three TD passes in Seattle's Week 6 victory. Griffin, Wilson and Kaepernick are great young talents. But they're also the poster children for the Golden Age of the Passing Game, guys who have stepped into the role of starting NFL quarterback with no pro experience and played like seasoned old veterans of yore. Griffin and the Redskins topped the NFL in Real Quarterback Rating (99.93), just ahead of legendary Peyton Manning and the Broncos and record-setting Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.
Wilson and the Seahawks finish a perfectly respectable No. 5 in Offensive Passer Rating and No. 6 in Real Quarterback Rating, comparable numbers in each case to future Hall of Famer Tom Brady and his 557-point Patriots.
Kaepernick, in about a half-season of work, was one of the most efficient passers and dominant two-way threats in the NFL. The instant statistical and team success is a far cry from the traditional coming-of-age story for NFL quarterbacks, who were expected to struggle for years while they adapted to the speed and picked up on the intricacies of the pro game.
Hall of Famer Len Dawson is the highest-rated passer of the 1960s. He barely touched the field in five years in the NFL before finally getting a shot in 1962 with the AFL's Dallas Texans (later the Kansas City Chiefs). Hall of Famer Roger Staubach is the highest-rated passer of the 1970s. He was 29 years old, and in his third NFL season, before he got a shot to be a full-time starter. But today's instant dominance also no suprise: after all, the game itself has changed dramatically over the decades, and those changes have only accelerated in recent years, making it easier than ever to pass the ball and easier than ever for new quarterbacks to have an immediate impact on their team. In fact, the passing game is flourishing everywhere as we get ready for the 2013 season, with the league's more experienced passers poised to rewrite the record books in several different categories. In the last two years alone, eight passers topped 4,800 yards in a single season; just four passers topped 4,800 yards in the previous history of the NFL. Four of the six 5,000-yard passing seasons in history were produced in 2011 and 2012.It's not just the volume that's up, but also the more important efficiency numbers: passer rating, completions percentage, TD-INT ratio and passing yards per attempt have all spiked in recent years. So what gives? Well, we haven't reached this era of prolific passing overnight. NFL rulemakers, not to mention offensive innovators, have been conspiring for decades to make it possible for quarterbacks to play as well as they do today. Quite frankly, most of the performances we're witnessing here in recent years would not have been possible 30, 20 or even 10 years ago.We also live in an era when many talented teenage quarterbacks are running pro style offenses at the high school, meaning their also more mentally prepared for the NFL by the time they get there. CHFF contributor Captain Comeback also credits the are unique glut of contemporary quarterbacking talent. And there's certainly something to be said for that. But there's no doubt that the game has changed dramatically over the decades and that it is easier than ever to pass the football.,It's been part of a decades-long evolution that has unfolded in distinct and measurable stages. Here then, is our brief, annotated history of the NFL passing game, from the Stone Age to the Golden Age. The Stone Age (1920-1939)The NFL's offensive Stone Age was marked by two key traits:
Back then, any player in the offensive backfield might have been called upon to pass the ball – and then only rarely. In 1932, the first year for which the NFL has passing stats, Green Bay Hall of Fame back Arnie Herber led the league in almost every passing category: completing 37 of 101 passes for 639 yards and 9 TDs in 14 games – about two or three games worth of work by today's standards. If you're looking for a game that defined the Stone Age, look at the very first NFL championship game in 1933. The Bears bested the Giants that day, 23-21, behind the heroics of Bronko Nagurski (pictured here). History remembers Nagurski as the all-purpose legend who's in the Hall of Fame for his exploits as a bruising running back, offensive tackle and defensive stud. But on this day, it was his two touchdown passes that carried Chicago to victory. A two-TD day through the air was no small feat in 1933. After all, the Bears attempted just three passes the entire game. The T Revolution (1940-49) Offensive football began to take the shape we'd recognize today in 1940, with the advent of the T formation, a brand of football adapted from the college game. The T formation did two things:
The T formation exploded onto the scene in the 1940 NFL championship game, when the Bears used it to crush the Redskins, 73-0, in the greatest blowout in NFL history. The story of that NFL championship game has largely taken on a life of its own, seen as a pivotal moment in the evolution of the passing game. It was not, actually. The dominant Bears attempted just 10 passes that day, while rushing 53 times for 381 yards and 7 TDs. The Redskins attempted 51 passes – eight of which were intercepted and three returned for touchdowns.If anything the 1940 NFL championship game might have killed the passing game. But the Bears were committed to the new style of football, and used to it dominate the decade. But that game did herald an upcoming change in football that quickly unfolded in the 1940s, the most dynamic evolutionary period in the history of football.
In the skillful hands of Bears quarterback Sid Luckman (pictured here), a former college halfback, the advantages of the T formation were apparent, though not everybody adopted it right away.
As late as 1946, the NFL still produced all-purpose two-way players like Hall of Famer Bill Dudley, who led the Steelers that year in rushing, passing, punting, kicking, punt returning, kick returning, scoring, interceptions and fumble recoveries. Whew! It even took football terminology a while to catch up with the on-field revolution: Washington's Slingin' Sammy Baugh is remembered as one of the great passers in NFL history and one of the first great quarterbacks. But newspapers of the day often referred to him as a halfback – his traditional position (he even wore a halfback's number, 33). Teams during the T Revolution began to pass the ball much more often, and with much greater effect. Baugh completed 70.3 percent of his passes in 1945, a mark surpassed only once since, and toyed with the first 3,000-yard passing season in 1947 (2,938 yards) – more than doubling the greatest output of the 1930s (Philadelphia back Davey O'Brien passed for a then-record 1,324 yards in 1939). Luckman himself averaged 8.42 YPA – still the second highest average per pass attempt in NFL history (Otto Graham, 8.63).
The game of pro football had just witnessed its greatest and most important evolutionary decade as the 1950s unfolded. In 1940, NFL teams averaged just 15.1 PPG. By 1948, NFL teams produced 23.2 PPG, still the highest-scoring single season in NFL history. The Classical Age (1950-1977)Three major changes propelled the passing game forward in the 1950s:
The passing game in this era was defined by a downfield, attacking style used to stretch defenses vertically. Completion percentages and passer ratings were very low. Yards per attempt and interceptions were very high. Cleveland quarterback Otto Graham is probably the definitive player of the era. He led the Browns to six straight NFL championship games from 1950 to 1955 (winning three of them) and his career average of 8.63 yards per pass attempt remains the highest mark in NFL history.
But he rarely completed more than 55 percent of his passes in a season, and he often threw more picks than TDs.
Quarterbacks such as Johnny Unitas (pictured here) and Sonny Jurgensen, meanwhile, begin to put up what we might recognize as fairly modern passing statistics. But as defenses grew bigger, faster and stronger, and the game grew more violent, it became increasingly difficult to get the ball down field. By 1977, passer ratings, and scoring itself, had plummeted to lows not seen in decades. We call the period from the AFL-NFL merger through 1977 the Dead Ball Era. The league-wide passer rating in 1977 was 60.7 – barely better than the 60.0 of 1948. The 1977 season also produced the best defense (Atlanta, 9.2 PPG) and the worst offense (Tampa, 7.4 PPG) since the 1940s. The passing game was dying, and the NFL and the architects of offensive football were forced to make major changes to save it. The Modern Age (1978-2003)Two major events launched NFL offenses into the Modern Age:
The net result of the rule changes was that teams suddenly began passing the ball far more often and far more effectively. Passing attempts, passing yards and passing TDs skyrocketed in the early 1980s. Perhaps most notably, Dan Marino (who played for another Brown disciple, Don Shula) rewrote the record books with his 5,084 passing yards and 48 TDs in 1984. His numbers were Ruthian in their scope, literally unimaginable just seven years earlier: Back in 1977, Buffalo quarterback Joe Ferguson led the NFL with 2,803 passing yards while another Miami Hall of Famer, Bob Griese, topped the league with 22 TD tosses. The Walsh-Montana style of offense, meanwhile, dramatically changed the way teams attacked defenses. Instead of the aggressive, downfield style favored in the Classical Age, Walsh's 49ers began utilizing a high-percentage, low-risk passing attack that most people today know as the West Coast offense. And they did it with great effect, as the 49ers won five Super Bowls in a 14-year period with two different coaches and two different quarterbacks: Steve Young and Montana, each of whom retired the highest rated passer in history.Young, with a career rating of 96.8 is currently second behind only Aaron Rodgers (104.9), while Montana, who last played two decades ago, remains No. 10 (92.3). Teams around the league quickly adopted the new style of high-efficiency offense, as they did with Chicago's T formation four and five decades earlier. Everybody today (perhaps with the exception of the Raiders) utilizes a short, high-percentage, low-risk passing attack. As a result, yards per attempt have declined from their highs in the 1950s and 1960s, but so have the number of interceptions. Completion percentages and passer ratings have skyrocketed, meanwhile, to the point that every single player in the top 20 all-time in passer rating has joined the league in the Modern Age (since 1979). Nine of the 12 highest-rated passers in history were active in 2012, with Young, Montana and Kurt Warner (93.7) the only exceptions. The Golden Age (2004-present) As if quarterbacks hadn't been coddled enough by coaches and rulemakers over the past two decades, one profound game, and one very angry team executive, made their lives even easier in 2004.
As a result, the NFL determined that its officials would "re-emphasize" pass interference rules in 2004 and beyond. Though not officially a rule change, the impact on the passing game was profound. The very next season, Indy quarterback Peyton Manning went out and rewrote the record books, with 49 TD passes and a 121.1 passer rating that was nearly 10 points better than any that had come before it. The league-wide passer rating, meanwhile, jumped from 78.3 in 2003 to a record 82.8 in 2004. The records have remained under assault since then: Tom Brady broke Manning's TD-toss record with 50 in 2007, while posting the second-highest passer rating in history (117.2). With less fanfare, Drew Brees set a record with 440 completions in 2007. And, as noted above, NFL quarterbacks have continued to rewrite the record books in recent years, perhaps none as spectacularly as Green Bay's Rodgers and New Orleans' Brees,Rodgers' career passer rating (104.9) is nearly 10 points higher than No. 2 Young (96.8), No. 3 Brady (96.6) and No. 4 Manning (95.7). Rodgers also boasts the lowest INT rate (1.7%) and best TD-INT ratio (3.7 to 1) in history. Brees is the closest thing to explosive Babe Ruth-style productivity the NFL has produced since Dan Marino's great breakout earlier years. He has led the NFL in some combination of passing attempts, completions, completion percentage and yards for seven straight years. In the last six seasons, he's single handedly produced the two most accurate passing seasons in history (70.6% in 2009; 71.2% in 2011) and three of the six 5,000-yard passing seasons in league history. Newcomers, meanwhile, such as RGIII, Wilson, Colin Kaepernick and so many others, have bucked tradition by easily performing at high level.
The Post-Modern Age (TBD) In fact, we may be interesting yet a new phase of modern quarterbacking: the Post-Modern Era, a time when young, athletic, versatile quarterbacks, able to both pass and run at a high level, and schooled in pro-style offenses at a young age, are able to come in and beat you many different ways the moment they enter the NFL. But keep in mind that today's high-flying newcomers and record-setting veterans aren't necessarily better quarterbacks than players of the past. They just have advantages their predecessors never enjoyed back before the Golden Age of the passing game.

wikiHow to Grow a Mustache
Two Parts:Growing Your Mustache OutStyling Your MustacheCommunity Q&A
Growing out your mustache can take time, but the results are worth it in the end. This wikiHow will give you some advice on how to grow out your mustache.
10 Second Summary
1. Grow out your beard, in addition to your mustache.
2. Buy a high quality trimmer.
3. Trim the facial hair you don't want.
4. Give your mustache several weeks or more to grow.
5. Choose and use a mustache style that suits your face and personality.
Part 1
Growing Your Mustache Out
1Grow out your beard first. The hair on top of your lip can look a little thin at first. If you want to avoid some initial awkwardness, consider growing out all your facial hair first, and then trimming the rest of the beard off when the mustache is ready, or progressively trimming everything except your mustache to make the transition less abrupt.
- Trim and maintain your beard while you nurture your soon-to-be mustache.
2Invest in a good quality trimmer. Any time you're sculpting facial hair, it's a good idea to invest in a beard trimmer to make the job easier. It's easier to shape your mustache accurately with an electric trimmer than with a basic razor you'd use to take all the hair off completely.
- Usually, you can get a decent rechargeable beard trimmer for $15-20, available at most retail stores. They'll come with a variety of guard shapes and sizing options, making it easy to keep your mustache in shape.
3Trim what you don't want. Most basic mustaches extend just about down to the sides of the mouth, leaving the hair atop the lip untouched. All it takes to shape a basic mustache is shaving off any facial hair you don't want. This usually means everything on your cheeks, under and along your jaw, and around your mouth, except your top lip.
- After trimming the basic shape you want, leave your mustache alone. Shave or continue trimming the other areas of your facial hair growth regularly to keep your mustache standing out above the rest of the hair in your beard.
- It's sometimes common for some kinds of hair, to let some of the beard grow back and have a mustache that's a little longer than the rest. It's half-beard, half-mustache. Best of both worlds.
4Be patient with your facial hair growth. Though your facial hair may grow quite quickly, it may take several weeks to over a month to grow in fully, depending on the type of mustache you want to sport, and the speed that your beard comes in. It can take a while, so try not to rush it.
- Contrary to popular belief, trimming your beard regularly does not cause it to "grow back thicker." It's not always bad advice though: This is often a way to convince guys with bad-looking facial hair to shave off that peach fuzz and wait until it starts coming in a little thicker.
- You can use some basic good-health techniques to promote facial hair growth to speed up the process. Maintaining a diet high in protein, saturated fat, and Vitamins A, E, and C, getting enough exercise and rest, and–above all–keeping your face clean and well-groomed, can help promote facial hair growth in men.
Part 2
Styling Your Mustache
1Choose a style that suits your face. Not all styles of mustache should be used for all types of faces and hair. Pay attention to the way that your facial hair grows, and where it's the most thick. No point in trying a fu-machu if your hair doesn't stay thick all the way down the side of your mouth.
- To see how a mustache might look, try editing a picture of you in photoshop, adding a fake mustache. You can also ask friends and family how they think you would look. If you can do neither, simply look in the mirror and imagine yourself with the mustache of your choice.
2Try out a shorter style. Shorter mustache styles are best for men with very coarse, thick, and dark hair. Since the style and the hair will be short, these styles will show up better the thicker and coarser the hair. Try out the following short mustache styles:
- The pencil: Famously sprouted by John Waters, R Kelly, and innumerable silent film villains, a pencil mustache looks as if it were drawn thinly on top of the lip with a make-up pencil. To trim one, follow your upper lip line with a trimmer, carefully removing the hair between your nose and your lip, until a thin line is left. The mustache should end at the corner of your upper lip, or just beyond.
- The fu manchu: This classic features a slim pencil-like mustache that starts at the upper lip, but continues down the sides of your face until reaching the bottom of your jaw, and sometimes beyond. Grown slightly bushier and wider, this same basic mustache shape is known as the "handlebar" or the "horseshoe."
- The boxcar: A boxcar is a fairly simple mustache, but one that ends just a bit before you reach the corner of your lip. To trim it, leave your mustache alone, but trim a straight line perpendicular to the corner of your lip, so the hair ends just before it. It should look like a perfect rectangle. Don't go to short or you'll end up with a Hitler 'stache.
3Try out a longer style. If you want to try out a bushier, burlier mustache, it usually works best with generally straight hair that's still somewhat coarse. Especially thin hair will grow long, but won't "bush up," and might just end up hanging over your lip like walrus tusks (which feels annoying). If you've got the right kind of hair for it, consider the following longer mustaches:
- The English or Imperial: An English-style mustache is your ticket to looking like you stepped out of a Victorian novel. To style this mustache, you need to stop trimming your mustache just above the corner of your mouth and let it grow out some, to a point. Then, using mustache wax, twirl the longer hairs at the corner up, into a curl.
- The Walrus: A walrus is a mustache for outdoorsmen, rhinoceros hunters, and men who know how to throw tomahawks. Think Teddy Roosevelt. To grow a walrus, do absolutely nothing but shave your cheeks, leaving your mustache alone. No trimming until it drives you absolutely nuts (which might not take long). Not for beginners.
- The Selleck: Named for the famous TV personality Tom Selleck, this mustache is also known in some quarters as the "pornstar." Shaped essentially like a walrus, pointing down at the corners, gently, the Selleck is full from lip to nose, but trimmed to avoid hanging over your lip.
4Experiment with combo styles. While it might be cool to slap silly names on mustache styles, the truth of the matter is that growing a mustache is largely about getting creative in the mirror with your beard trimmer. If it looks good to you, it's not wrong. Try combinations of the following the next time you shave to see what works. You can always shave it off.
- Goatees are basically fu manchus or handlebar mustaches that connect on the chin. Just shave your cheeks and under your neck.
- Mutton chops connected directly to the mustache give you a vaudevillian or Civil War vibe, like you just waltzed out of a photograph, or Brooklyn.
- Try a straight mustache, with some deep-set five o'clock shadow and a soul patch if you want to look like an out of work actor.
5Keep the ends trimmed. Although some mustache devotees argue about the merits of trimming[1] your mustache may be in need of grooming every so often. Certain mustaches will require more work than others. But a combination of washing, waxing, combing, trimming, or shaving will most probably be part of your regiment every day if you want your fully grown mustache to live a full, well-worn life.
- Depending on your mustache, trim it with mustache scissors every day to once a week. After a month of trimming the mustache weekly, you should have a pretty good idea of how much facial hair to chop off each time you trim.
6Use a proper grooming regimen to keep your face clean. Try to wash your face with natural foaming cleanser each morning and before you go to bed. This will keep it clean and prime it for brushing and waxing.
- Having facial hair of any sort can keep your natural body oils and dirt trapped against your skin, which can lead to breakouts in some men. It's important to keep your facial hair clean and well-groomed to keep your skin healthy.
7Shape your mustache. Some styles of mustache involve a bit of training and a lot of wax, while others can be kept in place with a comb. If you're building a bountiful handlebar or a polished pencil, you'll probably need to comb, twist, trim, and even shave every day to keep your particular style looking good.
- After you wash your face or get out of the shower, apply a bit of mustache wax to the middle of your mustache with a finger. Next, lightly work the wax outwards, covering your entire mustache. Then use a comb to get the 'stache fully saturated.
- To comb a mustache, use a beard comb, which should be smaller and with finer teeth. Add a small dab of natural beard oil to wet the tiny teeth of the comb, which will help lubricate the hairs and train them into place.
- Start combing at your philtrum (the cleft under your nose), combing outward toward the corner of your lip, and down.

Can a 14-year-old grow a mustache and a beard?wikiHow ContributorIt's possible, but everyone develops differently. It may take a few years yet for your facial hair to fully come in.
When does a mustache start growing?wikiHow ContributorIt varies from person to person, depending on your genetics. If the men in your family have mustaches, you're more likely to have one yourself. If their mustaches started growing in earlier, yours is more likely to as well.
Can an 18-year-old boy grow a beard?wikiHow ContributorIt depends on genetics. Don't shave it off. It's a myth that shaving regularly makes your beard grow.
I'm 18 and have been growing a mustache for 6+ months without shaving; it's grown to a decent length but is still very thin and flat. Is there any way to make it grow thicker, or is this a genetic thing that I can't do anything about?wikiHow ContributorEveryone is different, and it sometimes depends on genetics. But really you should wait and keep shaving.

- When outlining a moustache, hold the trimmer against the hairs hanging below the lip and move it to the right, then go back to the middle of your moustache and move it to the left. Never try and do this all at once, because the moustache will look uneven.

Score: Colts 38, Patriots 34
Date: Jan. 21, 2007. Site: RCA Dome
In a closer vote than it should have been, Indianapolis Colts cornerback Marlin Jackson's interception against the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game -- a play that helped seal an 18-point comeback and a spot in the Super Bowl -- was voted as the team's most memorable play.
I went into the voting earlier this week thinking Jackson's interception would be the clear winner.
I was wrong. So were a number of other people, too.
That play received 40 percent of the more than 30,000 votes, barely edging out quarterback Peyton Manning's then-record breaking 49th touchdown pass against the San Diego Chargers in 2004. Manning's touchdown pass received 38 percent of the votes.
The Colts' 28-point comeback against Kansas City in the playoffs last season was a distant third in the voting (22 percent).
Manning's record-setting touchdown passing obviously is huge because it's a milestone during what will end up being a Hall-of-Fame career. But Jackson's interception was substantial for the franchise.
The Colts had been eliminated by the Patriots the previous two times they faced each other in the playoffs. Indianapolis finally got New England, the AFC power squad, off its back in a fashion that didn't seem possible when the Colts walked into the locker room down 15 points at halftime.
So after four consecutive playoff appearances that ended short of a Super Bowl appearance, Manning and the Colts celebrated clinching a Super Bowl berth in front of their fans.
"[The Patriots] were a nemesis of ours for years," Jackson said. "We beat them to get over the hump. And the fashion we were able to come back after being down by 18 points and still believing because of a great simple speech by coach Tony Dungy."
The Colts went on to beat the Chicago Bears 29-17 in the Super Bowl.
An interception that helped the franchise eventually win a Super Bowl or a touchdown pass that set a single-season record?
Seems like an easy choice to make even if the voting didn't appear that way.

Betsey Johnson aqua chiffon 'Pixy Stix' halter babydoll dress
It's just so cute!
What a cute party dress! I just love the fun and fashionable style of Betsey Johnson. Here fashion week runway show in NY was TO DIE FOR!!
Betsey Johnson....enough said.Tags: outerwear, women, winter coats, Betsey JohnsonAdded 8 Years Ago from Bluefly
strawberry silk
A Betsey Johnson white and black polka dot dress. Miley wore this dress out shopping in Los Angeles. It can be dressed up or dressed down.
the ruched cut of this dress is very 1920s, while the short hem is very modern.
The sequins and the shape of this dress make it pretty and festive but the black on black keeps it from being over the top. Nice.Tags: fashion, black, special occasions, dresses, sequin, Betsey JohnsonAdded 9 Years Ago from Bluefly

Sometimes anything is better than nothing.
Now that I have a couple of 9mm, I'm trying to decide if I should hold onto my 22LR NAA revolver. It's somewhat fun to shoot only because it's challenging to hold just right so it doesn't fly out of your hand (don't guess that's really a good thing). Would anyone consider this even a BUG?
Sometimes anything is better than nothing.
I hadn't thought about the shotshells. I'll have to pick up some for my next range trip to see how they feel in this little gun.
With apologies...
Your question was: "What would you do with [a] NAA .22LR?"
My answer: Trade it in toward something usefully lethal.
That part where you say the trick is to hold on to it just right so it don't fly out of your hand..That's the funniest thing I think I've heard in this forum in a while.
Anyway if it is something that you have trouble shooting without thinking make it a little dangerous for something to carry around bug or otherwise. If you like shooting it put it up and get another fun to shoot gun that is a little easier to hold on to. If you can stand to part with it then trade it in. I like shooting 22's and have a couple different pistols and rifles. Cheap ammo and it's a fun round to shoot.
what would I do with it?
1.Throw it in the trash.
2. take it to a gun buy back and get $50.00 for it.
3. use it as trade bait for a newbie.
4. Paper weight.
5. fish lure.
BUG? No way...they are fun to shoot...fun to say "I think I'll shoot my magnum now." and then pull out my NAA 22mag mini...
The folding holster grip makes it much easier to hang on to.
I was thinking about one of those folding holsters if I did keep it. I'll have to fire a few more rounds through it and see what I want to do. I may also check out what kind of trade in I can get for it. I was surprised to see how much these guns actually cost new. All in all it is a fun gun to shoot as is. And once you figure out where the bullets go when you try to point it at a target, you can hone it in to a pretty decent sized grouping at about 15'
my mother has one...she is scared of it also...I told her to trade it for something that is a better fit
The only time I'm scared of it is when I go to decock it on a loaded chamber. Not much to hold onto to keep it from slipping and hitting that round.
i own one and plan on keeping it!
great for snakes and mice
trade in value is so low why mess with it - it was low initial cost so lower trade in value
NAA sold over 31,000 22 revolvers in 2006 and they are still going strong
so a lot of people out there are buying them
I have one in my drawer next to my Colt 1991 45 auto. I keep hopeing it will grow up to be a 45 revolver. JBR
Sorry to bring up such an old topic that started 2 years ago. I've continued to shoot this little guy. I just can't help but like it and never could bring myself to sell it. The reason I dug this old thread up was to show something that I just noticed while looking for a grip for it. From the NAA FAQ.
North American Arms
I am having difficulty resting the hammer blade in the safety slot on the cylinder; any suggestions?
Yes, it's a critically important feature of the gun, so PRACTICE.
First: Make sure the gun is unloaded.
Second: Make sure the gun is unloaded!
Third: Retract the hammer to the point that the cylinder spins freely (about half-way) and keep it retracted.
Fourth: Looking through the top/rear of the frame, locate any of the five milled safety slots (those notches on the cylinder between the chambers), and position any slot directly beneath the blade of the hammer (which is still retracted).
Fifth: While still retracting the hammer, depress the trigger (and keep it depressed) *- now allow the hammer to settle
into the slot.
You can (should) confirm engagement of the hammer in the slot by attempting to rotate the cylinder; if it does rotate, the hammer was not engaged in the slot (repeat the process). Visually confirm, also, by examining the alignment of any chamber with the bore; if a bullet could physically pass from the chamber through the bore, the gun is not 'safe'. In other words, if a chamber is located at 12 o'clock, the gun is not 'safe'; in the 'safe' condition, the upper two chambers are at one and eleven o'clock. 99.9% of the failures are because the trigger was not kept fully depressed while the hammer was being lowered (Step 5). Once you get the hang of it, however, you'll find the process becomes surprisingly easy, quick and natural.
You sure this thing would take out a snake?
I bought some .22 shot shells to play around with... i was out in the woods doing some shooting and shot a tree with some really smooth bark to see what the spread looked like... it didn't even make a mark. I thought, "surely I couldn't have missed..." so i moved closer (maybe 5 feet from the muzzle now) and fired again.... nothing. So then I shot at a clear plastic water bottle I found laying around, at very close range, and SOME of the tiny pellets penetrated one side of the bottle, and ended up inside. And this was out of a rifle, so I wonder what the velocity would be like out of a 1 inch or whatever it is barrel?
I just happened to find this semi-alive thread while searching for better grips for my Freedom Arms belt-buckle .22LR micro gun. Can't hit a thing with it beyond 5' due to muzzle whip on .22LR with the factory grips - so have taken to using .22Shorts. Even with .22S you have to aim at the 'nads to get center of mass.
I wouldn't even fathom this as a snake gun unless I held it to its head.
Still - a completely useless, fun little novelty gun that I flat won't ever get rid of. Something about a micro gun that is made with such quality fit, finish, etc. Might even consider an NAA convertible Widow version just for grins.
I'd sell it to some sucker, quickly, before he finds out how worthless it really is.

Frameless Top on the TJ fulltime?
I only have a softop on the TJ and need a new one. Have a 6yr old Bestop Sunrider, don't really like the door surround and the way the top velcro attaches, it is worn out and needs to be replaced.
I was looking at the new Bestop Trex top:
Bestop 56820-15 - Bestop® Trektop NX for 97-06 Jeep® Wrangler TJ - Quadratec
Question is, is a running a frameless top full time, as your main top, is it a good idea? Will it hold up? Or is it more of a seasonal top for when you take off the hard top?
We can get you the Trektop for a great price, shoot me a PM and I'll hook you up with the XT discount code for Wrangler Forum Members. We also offer freee shipping on orders over $75, no matter the item.
I don't have a Trektop, but the Softopper is the only top I have, so, it's a year-round top. Snow wasn't an issue for it at all (the roll bar will hold more than the stock frame ever could) and it was warm enough even for Chicago.
2 years full time now. Don't miss the hard top.
I run the rampage frameless full time its awesome
10 Attachment(s)
Highly recommend softopper!!!!!!!!!!!!
Installed a Rampage and intend to run it most of the year.. will go with Spiderwebshade in the summer, Rampage the rest of the year.

The Dragonlance Movie or Butchering My Childhood Memories
A few years ago someone finally made a Dungeons and Dragons movie. It was bad. A little while later someone made a sequel to that movie. It was so bad only one actor returned. I knew those movies would be bad but I hoped they would be bad in a good way. When I heard the man behind the first movie talking about how dwarves live in garbage pits and are dirty and stinky I knew there was no reason to see the movie in theatres.
It is now several years later (I did buy the Dungeons and Dragons movie on DVD for the bonus content) and while cruising Netflix I found that the long talked about Dragonlance movie was finally released. Because they managed to land Keifer Sutherland (Raistlin) and Lucy Lawless (Goldmoon) I had some high hopes for the movie. Yeah, they were dashed on the rocks of my bittersweet memories of this series.
Back when I was in high school I read all of the Dragonlance books. I even read some of the fluff ones that were not written by Tracy or Laura Hickman. I even bought some of the hardcover versions of the books. These are not Lord of the Rings quality but, too a high school gamer, these were far more accessible and easy to read and follow. I have since read the books again (I have a lot of down time at work) and I have to admit that the core books do hold up well, the side books do not.
At any rate, a few days ago the DVD arrived in the mail (Netflix again) and I eagerly put it in my DVD player while my wife looked on, wondering what sort of torture I was going to put her through for the next 90 minutes.
The opening credits were pure fan service. A CGI dragon was flying around only to be pierced by a dragonlance. Then it went to 2D animation and it all went to hell.
The story opens with the friends meeting up at the Inn of the Last Home in Solace where we find the town overrun by goblins. It is at this point that I turned to my wife and said, "this is going to be bad." I admitted it up front because looking at the horrible animation (it reminded me of the animation from the movie Heavy Metal but in a bad way). The animation only got worse because some of the creatures were animated via CGI and just dropped on top of the drawn animation.
Outside of town we have our first fight scene as Tanis and Flint are attacked by some goblins. They win but the battle animation was terrible and it seemed as if the artists were not sure whether they wanted to show blood or not. One minute a goblin collapses into a pool of blood and the next minute Tanis is removing his sword from a dead goblin to find it perfectly clean. There was no blood shed during the battle only pools of it after creatures died.
Once we finally get to the inn we have a few minutes of fan service but the worst thing has to be that when the movie would introduce a new female character they would zoom in on the character's breasts and then pan up to her face. When Tiki was introduced we get a couple seconds of her breasts bouncing their way towards us before we see her face. This was followed by a close up of her ass jiggling as she walked away. Yeah, I was feeling a bit embarrassed at this point.
As the movie trudges on it hops, skips and jumps over the journey and only focuses on the destinations. The journey through Darken Wood and the way to Xak Tsaroth are all glossed over. One minute they are in Solace and a few minutes later they have arrived at their destination. We never learn anything about the characters (yes, this movie was written strictly for existing fans and not to draw in new fans) nor do we even care about the characters.
Eventually I got used to the bad animation but the butchering of the book was just too much for me to deal with. By the end of the movie I was happy to see it end.
At work, when something goes wrong we often have the "how could this accident have been avoided" talk. This is my "How could this accident have been avoided" list for this movie.
- How could this accident have been avoided
- Include an opening monologue that not only tells us what happened in the past but also a little bit about the characters and recent events.
- Drop the "look, it's [insert female character's name]'s breasts" pan shots.
- Not mix 2D and 3D animation.
- Include the journey in the movie. If the Lord of the Rings movies only showed us the destination they would have been able to fit the whole movie in two hours.
- Not give away that Fizban = Paladine so early in the movie.
If you are a fan of the Dragonlance books DO NOT see this movie. It is bad. It is real bad. If you do decide to rent it, watch it in private. DO NOT invite your friends over to watch it as they will wonder what the hell you are doing.
If you want to have a fun night rent it and watch it strictly with your gaming buddies. Spend the evening taking shots whenever there is a close-up of a female character's breasts or ass and see who gets drunk first.

I was an avid reader myself until the Dragons of Summer Flame. My interest kinda dwindled after that. I recently bought the movie and I think you've pretty much nailed it. I wish they had done better. :(
Some friends of mine who went to GENCON last year for the release of this tell me it was picked apart by everyone there. He further stated he felt bad for Tracy and Laura because they were clearly impressed with the production.
Sounds rough. Hopefully they don't give up and instead make a better one. I tend to not expect much from these movies, but I continue to buy them just out of fandom. *remembers Final Fantasy: The spirits within* *shudders* lol
I also heard rumors about a movie based on R.A Salvatore's Drizzt Do'Urden novels.
Sadly, I cannot agree with you on your assessment of the movie.
As an animated movie, I accept that it will not be photorealistic. I thought the more-realistic 80's-style cartoon, with realistic-looking characters, served the movie much better than what passes for cartoon movies these days (like Superman: Doomsday), sort of like the look you think of from the classic D&D Cartoon (ignoring Uni, it wasn't terrible). The CGI should not have gone into it, I agree with you completely there. It was confusing and unnecessary.
Whenever you give a director license to make a movie based on someone else's wok, you know he'll add his own spin on it and take out the things that aren't strictly necessary to save time. I think we can all pretty much agree that the best movie would be one that included every scrap of dialogue and every bit of action, but it's not realistic to expect it.
As far as the portrayal of women, remember that Tika is a smoking-hot barmaid. What would be the first things Caramon (or most males, for that matter) would notice about her? I don't think the attention her assets (no pun intended) were out of line. Elsewhere, perhaps, but in the most egregious case, with Tika, I'd differ in my opinion.
In general, I found the movie to be ambitious, and pretty fairly done for what it was. Perhaps I have an easier time divorcing myself from my inner "geek" or "uberfan" and view something on its own merits easier than the betrayed fans. For that matter, I saw the first D&D movie as nothing more than an adequate fantasy movie marred by an inexperienced director and the inclusion of an overacting Wayans brother, and the second movie to be a pretty good low-budget movie that, refreshingly enough, told a story in a D&D-based setting.
Heh thats too bad, but you gotta expect that at this point. No is replacing novels anytime soon. Those books were amazing with their interplay of characters from different background. Not even computers can replace a good plot.
However, I'll admit that I did enjoy the Final Fantasy movie, I think because it was completly unrelated to anything Final Fantasy, and struck for something new.
Honestly, that's why I disliked the Final Fantasy movie. It was too far and away from what the series is. When I bought it I expected to see an epic Final Fantasy movie. Maybe if it hadn't been named Final Fantasy I would have less biased toward it.
This was a movie which I was so excited to see. I am also a huge fan, and was amazed that they were even thinking of making a movie. However I also was really disappointed after watching it.
But for some reason I keep checking to see if they are making a second movie (probably my DL addiction), and thinking "they will get it right this time."
Well – I hate the animated Dragonlance movie! It's a lousy portrayal of the world of Krynn and poorly animated – the drama never reveals itself… The storyline of Dragonlance could and should with the current technology be told in 3D and should be able to gain a wide audience! The Novel is a new classic fantasy novel – most people i meet (over the age of 20) know of the Dragonlance universe – have read one or more novels – and are intrigued by the characters of Krynn! I tell my son (Age 6) stories of fictional Krynn characters and he and his friends play Krynn even though they have never firsthand heard of the world of Krynn.
Make a LEGO-deal and the thing will come flying to kids all over the globe! Tasslehoff, Raistlin, Caramon, Tika, Tanis, Flint, Sturm, Riverwind and Goldmoon get back to us!
I watched the movie as well and grew up on the dragonlance series. While I agree that the cartoon was lacking what our generation of fans was certainly hoping for I do have to defend it by stating that my children love it and have now began reading the books. Which as always are superb compared to any movie. So if anyone reading this has a say in the production of the rest of the series please consider that while the generation that was raised on the books will certainly pass harsh judgement, there is a new generation who are to be considered.

Although he certainly has the look of a feisty terrier, the Sealyham Terrier doesn't have the typical attitude. He's a very mellow, laid-back dog, with modest exercise requirements and a clownish spirit. He even gets along well with other dogs. All these traits serve to make him a good pet for someone who loves the high-style look of a terrier but isn't enamored with or capable of handling that in-your-face kind of dog.
The Sealyham Terrier is all-terrier on the outside, with the scruffy charm of his cousins and the white color of his ancestor, the West Highland White Terrier. But on the inside he's a very different dog.
Originally bred to hunt badger, he's better described as a lover, not a fighter. He's a playful dog with a big sense of humor, and while he has a tendency to bark a bit more than most people might like, at only 20-25 pounds he is the perfect size for an apartment. He's a light shedder and is child-friendly, dog-friendly, and doesn't even have an overwhelming desire to chase cats.
If the show ring is in his future, the Sealyham's coat will have to be "hand-stripped," a labor-intensive task that involves pulling out dead coat a little bit at a time, using a special tool. Dogs whose career involves your sofa and garden will simply need to be kept brushed and occasionally clipped for neatness and to minimize shedding and matting of the coat.
The Sealyham Terrier is one of the healthiest of the dog breeds, with a genetic eye defect known as lens luxation, allergies, disk problems, and ear and bladder infections being the most common issues of concern.
The American Sealyham Terrier Club funds research into allergies and lens luxation in the breed, in the hope of finding genetic markers and developing screening tests for these problems. To that end, they've created a registry for Sealyham eye health tracking, the SIGHT Registry.
A good Sealyham breeder should also have Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF) documentation that their breeding dogs' eyes are healthy, based on an eye exam performed within the last year. Sealyham owners should have their dogs' eyes tested annually by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist.
Although allergies and other diseases that affect the Sealyham have no screening tests at this time, your puppy's breeder should be willing – eager, in fact – to go over the health histories of his parents and their close relatives, and discuss how prevalent those particular health concerns are in his lines.
Pet insurance for Sealyham Terriers costs more than for mixed breed dogs. This is because Sealyham Terriers are more likely than mixed breed dogs to make claims for hereditary conditions that are expensive to treat.
Embrace pet insurance plans offer full coverage for all breed-specific conditions (excluding those that are pre-existing) to which Sealyham Terriers are susceptible. The best time to get pet insurance for your Sealyham Terrier is when he's a healthy puppy. You can't predict what will happen in the future, and pet insurance is the one thing you can't get when you need it the most.

Boy spent two weeks alone in a flat with his mother's body
Page Tools
For two weeks after his mother's unexplained death, three-year-old Michael McGarrity fended for himself in their locked flat. He drank fruit juice and ate cheese, yoghurt, potato crisps and whatever he could find in the fridge.
He used the toilet, got by as best he could. He was too small to unlock the flat door and had not learnt to use the telephone. He tried to attract the attention of neighbours by pushing mail through his front door. But for 14 days no one missed the toddler.
On Wednesday, as agencies examined how such a young child could have been forced to survive alone for so long in a fifth-floor flat, he was recovering in hospital in Edinburgh.
"Michael is improving every day and we are glad he is getting better. We are hopeful he can leave hospital soon," said his uncle, Kieran McGarrity, in a statement. "He is beginning to tell us a bit about what happened but it is very early days and it will be a long time before we know the whole story."
Michael's grandmother, Eleanor McGarrity, said: "[Michael] was like a skeleton on Saturday night. He was very, very weak and very thin."
It is not yet known how Michael's mother, Anne-Marie, 33, died. Police said they did not believe there were any suspicious circumstances, but a post-mortem examination on Wednesday proved inconclusive and further tests will take several days.
A neighbour, Moira Chisholm, thought something was wrong for several days before Michael was found: "There were letters hanging out the letterbox. I told the postman to put them back in, but they kept coming out again. It must have been him; I should have known."
Michael was discovered in the flat in Leith, on the outskirts of Edinburgh, on Saturday. When staff at his nursery were unable to contact his mother, they telephoned his grandmother.
She called the police and on Saturday night they found Michael by the side of his dead mother. He was badly dehydrated and could barely stand. He had been playing with his Thomas the Tank Engine set.
Neighbours were questioning why they had not noticed Michael's plight. "It's terrible to think of that wee guy in there and you could maybe have helped him had you been a wee bit more neighbourly," said one woman, who did not want to be named.

While the results so far have been much the same, this year's Edmonton Oil Kings have some notable differences from their predecessors, who won the Western Hockey League championship two years ago and made it to the final last season.
Those Oil Kings were identified largely by snipers like Michael St. Croix, Dylan Wruck and Tyler Maxwell, players who had only limited size but immense skill.
They've given way to a team dominated up front by power forwards like Henrik Samuelsson, Mitchell Moroz and Curtis Lazar.
"We're (playing) a little bit more of a lunchbucket style," said Edmonton head coach Derek Laxdal, whose Oil Kings host the Wheat Kings tonight in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal. "We have to grind it out, we have to work for everything we get. Obviously we do have some skill, we don't have the same depth we had last year, but we have a different identity. I think we're a type of team that's got to work for everything we get and we understand that, and I think that makes us probably a hungrier team in the end."
Laxdal is hesitant to compare this year's team to those of the previous two seasons, but the Oil Kings are on the right track. They earned the No.1 seed in the conference by posting a 50-19-2-1 record, topping the 50-win barrier for the third season in a row, then swept the Prince Albert Raiders out of the first round of the playoffs in four straight games.
The similarities also include a strong defensive corps, led by Griffin Reinhart and Cody Corbett, that boasts both size and skill. The team is also set in net, with Tristan Jarry providing a seamless transition from standout Laurent Brossoit.
"I think any successful team, you have to have goaltending, and we're very fortunate with the kids that we have had over the last three years, with Laurent Brossoit and Tristan Jarry coming into the fold," said Laxdal, a former Wheat King player who went on to a lengthy playing and coaching pro career before taking over the bench of the Oil Kings in 2010. "So if you look at any team in the Western Hockey League, you can have as much as you want up front at forward and the back end, but if you can't stop pucks, it's pretty tough to win games in any league."
The Oil Kings, who went 3-1 versus the Wheat Kings during the regular season, can play at both ends of the ice. Edmonton's specialty teams provide an interesting contrast with Brandon's, with the Oil Kings finishing only 17th in the WHL in power play (19.6 per cent) during the regular season, but second in penalty killing (85.3 per cent), while the Wheat Kings were second in power play (25.9) and 18th in PK (75.2).
As their recent playoff history suggests, the Oil Kings do have much more experience at this time of the season, with eight players who won the Ed Chynoweth Cup two years ago and 11 who have seen action in a WHL final. That experience carries a lot of weight with Laxdal.
"If you look at kids like Dyson Mayo and Brett Pollock, who were 16-year-olds last year for us that have taken a bigger role on our hockey club this year and become top-four defencemen, top six forwards, I definitely agree that that playoff experience is huge," he said. "And it's the same thing for the Brandon Wheat Kings. However far they go this year, they've got a young group of kids that's going to come back next year, and that experience is going to be vital to their growth."
The Oil Kings had three veteran players who missed the first round against the Raiders. Laxdal hopes that 56-point scorer Reid Petryk is ready to start the series, while rugged forward Brandon Baddock and blue-liner Blake Orban could also appear at some point.

Miley Cyrus' "Saturday Night Live" Hosting Promo
Posted Wednesday March 2, 2011 11:14 AM GMT
Her public image has taken a beating as of late, but that's not stopping Miley Cyrus from hosting "Saturday Night Live" this weekend.
The "Hannah Montana" actress appears in a series of promotional videos with SNL cast member Kenan Thompson to hype up the gig.
And in one of the clips, Kenan asks Miley "Is this cool?" to which she replies, "Yeah, it's cool." Thompson follows up, "How cool?" and Miley takes the bait- "It's PRETTY cool!"
Of course, they were playing on the spoof skit "The Miley Cyrus Show" that has become so popular this season. The Strokes will be the musical guest of the night.

It remains extraordinary that Michael Franks has not broken through from his small but devoted following to a wider audience, for he is without any doubt the most complete and perceptive songwriter currently active. His songs speak of love lost, found, abandoned, imagined, destroyed, recaptured, and all shades of nuance in between. Anyone who has experienced any emotional joy or upset (ie. anyone over the age of thirty) will find the memory of the experience captured in the deliciously subtle words and music of Michael Franks. "Heart Like an Open Book", has the male narrator singing, with a naive joy that is almost painful for the cynical listener to observe, of how he and his new lover reveal themselves, one to the other, with their hearts "like an open book". Cultural and literary references feature in many of the songs (eg. "I flashed my Rhett Butler look"), and are a joy to those with whom they strike a chord, but are not obstructive to the enjoyment of the music by those oblivious to such references. This album is perhaps not as good as the earlier, utterly marvellous "Abandoned Garden", but as that was one of the finest albums of all time, this is not in any way a criticism.
The exceptional atmosphere of this acoustic concert reflects not only in the music but also the familiar setting; candles instead of a laser show, a string section instead of keyboard sounds, reduction instead of inflation. Floydian grandeur turns into intimate music experience, borne by creativity, wit, charm and respect for the makers who are Pink Floyd. This DVD, recorded at the sold out Stadttheater Aschaffenburg, impressively documents the memorable evening and manifests the music of Pink Floyd in a way that it has not been heard before.
Jazz guitar icon Larry Coryell, one of the most respected and celebrated guitarists of his generation, offers this brand new album of seven original compositions! In addition to Coryell's signature guitar playing, this album features the talents of award-winning pianist Lynne Arriale, longtime Coryell collaborator John Lee on bass, Dan Jordan on saxophone and flute, and drummer Lee Pierson!
The two albums included here, New Groove, and Barefoot Adventure, present Bud Shank not only on alto sax, but also on baritone, an instrument he had played in clubs and as a sideman in sporadic studio sessions since the early 50s, but never before on his own recording dates. And while his alto has his customary command and fluency, his work on the less familiar baritone is equally impressive, the sound hard and driving, with expressive use of dynamics.

So, you have finally decided to go for it and have your first sexual encounter with another couple! The excitement is great, the sexual tension is high, the possibilities are endless. But how to make things go smooth and make everything happen to everyone's enjoyment? Well, there are many ways to make sure you will love your experience and remember it for a long time.
Before going to a party or a date where you are planning on playing with another couple, make sure to talk in details between each other about your limits, boundaries and expectations. Some couples prefer not to go all the way on their first encounter and it is something that should be talked about upfront. Make sure to set a limit on how far both of you are willing to go. Remember you should think not only about things that you yourself are comfortable doing with someone else, but also the things that you would be OK with your partner do with another person as well. Watching your partner with someone else is very different from having the fantasy about it, so you should prepare yourself that your partner will actually be intimate with someone other than you as you watch him or her enjoy it in front of you. Some couples set the limit on just light touching and kissing. Some set it at "soft swing" which is "everything but penetration". Some go all the way. Find what you and your partner are comfortable with and go for it.
Safe sex is another issue that you both should think about before your experience. Talk about it and determine what safety measures you would like to take. Most couples in the lifestyle use condoms with partners other than their own. However, it is different for all couples when it comes to oral sex. Some choose to skip oral sex with another couple because of possible risks of contracting STDs. Some couples decide to play orally only while males are wearing condoms. Some decide to not use protection at all because they know and trust another couple or are just willing to take a risk for a thrill. If you are going to a swing club, make sure to find out ahead of time if they provide condoms on premises or you should bring some with you. If you are going out just the four of you, make sure to bring your own protection if you choose to use any.
If you know the couple that you are planning to be sexual with that evening, try to talk about your and their rules and limitations before the encounter. Both sides should communicate to each other about everything from how far they are willing to go to how much protection everybody should use. However, some couples decide to not have set limits and play everything by ear. If you meet a couple that you have never seen before at a party and decide to play with them on premise, try to find out about all of their limits as much as you can before the play, so there are no misunderstandings during the encounter that can sour the experience.
Once you and your partners have picked the place for the encounter, it is sometimes hard to move from a friendly conversation to an actual act. There are many ways to segue into a sexual situation. Some couples prefer to do some activities before the encounter to get things rolling just a little bit. It could be by playing adult ice-breaker games which are available on line or at any adult store. Some prefer to go out clubbing ( whether to a regular or a swing club ) where they switch partners on the dance floor to get the sexual chemistry going. But most of the times, things happen naturally and on their own. If both couples are hot for each other, you will never even notice the actual move from the conversation to the action.
If you have decided or just didn't think of doing any ice-breaking activity, you can try going into a hot tub or a sauna where it is easier to get in a more sexual situation. Some couples agree ahead of time to start their encounters in separate rooms and then move back to the same room after everybody has already advanced into the sexual play with their new partners. Sometimes couples do not move back into the same room until the next time they play. That way each couple gets a chance to tell each other about their experiences before actually watching each other in the same room environment.
Even though it is never planned to be a part of the experience, it should be mentioned that most males at one point or another have difficulties that may be a result of anxiety or nervousness. When presented with a new situation such as having a first sexual encounter with someone other than your partner in front of that partner, many males may loose their erection. Needless to say, once that takes place, it only adds more to the already overwhelming pressure, and the expected results may never happen that night at all. It actually is very normal for many males. Does this mean the experience is over and everybody goes home? No! Your new partner will most likely understand and comfort you to relax and calm you down. Most males choose to make up for their softness with more foreplay and oral play. It is also a good idea to switch back to your regular partner and try to get something going between you two before switching back again.
Once things get rolling, the possibilities are endless. Some couples stick to playing with each other's partners for the rest of the night exploring different positions and paces. Some involve sex toys, dirty talk, food and anything else that can spice things up even further. Some decide to explore different combinations of partners. Couples with bi-sexual or bi-curious members usually evolve into a 4some where "bi" partners play with each other as well as the rest of the group at the same time. Some women like to try double penetration. Other combinations of 3somes can happen as one of the partners takes a rest or in some cases takes pictures or films the encounter. Make sure to check with your partners ahead of time if you would like to document your experience.
We hope your first encounter is satisfying to everyone involved and leaves a great memory for you to look back on in the future! Play safe!

Internet, search marketing, digital advertising, sales enablement, social media, video, online communities, mobile, predictive analytics, content curation . . . Is it even possible for the pace of change in marketing activity to continue to accelerate? According to top marketing leaders in business-to-business (B2B) marketing, absolutely. So get ready, folks, the rocket ride isn't over.
Yesterday, I had the great pleasure to join Kathy Button Bell, CMO at Emerson and incoming chair of the BMA, on stage to present research study findings describing global marketing executive views on the changing nature of B2B marketing at the 2013 International BMA Conference, Blaze.
During the month of May, Forrester and the BMA collaborated to entice and persuade 117 CMOs and senior VPs at firms roughly split between companies with fewer than 5,000 employees and those with 5,000 or more — to respond to attitudinal questions about the pace of change, the role of marketing, evolving skill sets, and the degree of collaboration between marketing and peer functions.
Posted by Laura Ramos on May 20, 2013
Last month, together with the ITSMA and VisionEdge Marketing (VEM), Forrester launched a research study to understand whether business-to-business (B2B) marketers have become more proficient in using marketing metrics and analytics to inform marketing decisions, predict buyer behavior, improve marketing performance, and help their firms better analyze markets and forecast trends.
This is the 12th year that VEM has undertaken this research, and we were pleased to be a part of such a rich legacy. The 2013 MPM Survey captured input from more than 400 respondents, helping us uncover valuable insights on the performance measurement and management challenges marketers face today.
Depending on which side you stand on the executive debate about how to assess the value of marketing to your organization, the findings of this year's study may (or may not) surprise you.
Even though marketing measurement has become more automated and operationally commonplace, B2B marketers continue to struggle to prove marketing's contribution to the business instead of using metrics and performance management to improve it. One of the most telling findings that leads us to this conclusion is the percentage of executive peers reported to use marketing data to make strategic decisions — as revealed by marketers themselves.

In the run-up to Forrester's Forum For Marketing Leaders EMEA next week, I also had a chance to connect with Arthur Calderwood, Senior Vice President, Marketing & Sales Operations at SITA, in advance of his Marketer Spotlight presentation one day one of our event. Arthur will be speaking about how at SITA he blends experiences, products, and messaging to achieve the brand vision. Check out a preview of Arthur's session in the below Q&A, or join me in London, May 21-22, to hear SITA's full story.
Q: Does content and thought leadership play a more important role in B2B branding today? At what stage in the customer lifecycle does content make the biggest impact?
A: Content is critical in building credibility and also as a way to differentiate versus your competitors. But from a B2B perspective you have to be sure you are or can be seen as a credible thought leader with the right expertise to deliver valuable content and opinion. Many companies end up writing pieces which are often too generic, do not deliver real value and unfortunately blend into the mass of other communication on the same topic. Strategically you need to carefully pick the topics you will address, possibly partner with another credible source on the topic, conduct some primary research and be willing to take a stand in the discussion. At SITA we have, for the air transport industry, run a series of annual trend surveys and reports (Airline IT Trends, Airport IT Trends, Baggage & Passenger Self Service trends). These provide us with a platform to write content, released through all channels, to engage the market. They are fortunately unique in our market and have established SITA as a credible source for this type of know-how.

After hosting a Forrester webinar on April 25 about "3 Ways To Turn Content Marketing into Thought Leadership", I received some interesting questions from clients. I thought I would share the questions -- and a short response to each – since this line of inquiry points to broader question about the role of public relations (PR) in content marketing generally and thought leadership marketing specifically.
Here's the Q&A I found intriguing:

Poogan's Porch; Charleston, SC
The Charleston police have received so many calls about a distressed woman dressed in black trapped inside this upscale Southern restaurant that authorities disregard new reports. The woman is believed to be the ghost of Zoe St. Armand, who owned the house in the early 1900s and went mad after the death of her sister, her only friend. Legend has it that Zoe fell down the stairs to her death while fruitlessly searching for her sister one night. "Occasionally you can see her looking for her sister in the front dining room," says assistant general manager Terell Ham. The restaurant's namesake, a Wheaton Terrier named Poogan who died in 1979, is also rumored to still run through the dining room. "Little children say they feel Poogan running under the table," Ham says. poogansporch.com
