Oh, Steph, I need your help! I don't know if you have ever had this question. But what can you do when you produce too much self-lube? My boyfriend and I of almost two years have been having this problem since we got together. To put it in his words "It's like ASTRO-Glide down there. There is no friction.
I know plenty of women who have the opposite of this problem and I feel like I shouldn't complain, but the fact is that neither of us can get off via traditional sex because of it. It doesn't change with position, and it's not his size. I've had this problem with other boyfriends — which is also the reason why I think I've never had an orgasm from traditional intercourse.
Thankfully, we've been able to supplement our fun-time activities with other routes of getting off, but I really want to share that experience with him. He hasn't complained at all. In fact, he is feeling inadequate, and that is certainly not the case, and I feel worse about the whole situation. Any help would be appreciated.
Oh, honey, I think you two are looking at this all wrong!
Let me first point out that I'm approaching this letter from the standpoint of someone who happens to have the Sahara between her thighs. Not only that, but my nether regions weren't always a barren wasteland. Once upon a time, I was a gusher. (That was the word my first sexual partner actually used: "gusher." He was classy that way. Then again, he meant it as a compliment. It turned him on like nothing else. And all that natural lubricant meant that I was turned on, as well.) Now, not so much. And sex is painful.
So my first thought upon reading this letter was, "Can we swap!?" But I didn't want to be insensitive to your plight, so I did some research and, by and large, found that there was nothing wrong with you. While there are a few people out there who have been experimenting with cobbled-together home remedies in order to make themselves dryer, most of those remedies are not really all that healthy for your naughty bits. Not only that, but dry sex can make intercourse painful, and also increase the risk of transmitting STDs.
First of all, a woman's natural lubrication is a sign of arousal. Which means that you shouldn't be feeling bad about an ASTRO-Glide vagina, and he shouldn't be feeling inadequate. On the contrary, your ample wetness is a sign that the both of you are on the right path toward sexual pleasure.
Second of all, the majority of woman out there cannot get off by way of "traditional sex." In fact, many sex therapists are advocates of what they call "intercourse plus." Intercourse + clitoral stimulation. Intercourse + nipple sucking. Intercourse + anal play. You get the picture. Basically, while intercourse is a fabulous form of intimacy, it's typically easier to get off if you pair it with other forms of stimulation.
Not that achieving an orgasm should be the be-all, end-all of your sexual play, but if you do want to experience that together, perhaps you should experiment with some "intercourse plus" yourselves. I commend you on your use of varying sexual positions. What you need is something more than the ol' in-and-out. Even if he has your ankles up over your head, or you're rockin' the wheelbarrow, that's still all it is: the penis, pumping in and out of the vagina, completely missing the clitoris.
Some positions make it easier for you to stimulate each other's genitals during the act in pursuit of orgasm. For example, with Woman on Top, your boyfriend could place his hands on your hips so that his thumbs are on either side of your clitoris. Then, he could just paddle his thumbs as you ride him (to sweet, sweet orgasm). Or you could try Doggy Style, a position that makes it easy for him to just reach around and stimulate your clitoris as he enters you from behind. The same holds true for the Sideways position, in which you both lie on your sides with your back to his front. As he enters you from behind, you'll both have easy access to your clitoris. Or — to make things feel tighter — you could exercise your kegel muscles during sex.
Give these tactics a try and don't feel bad about yourselves. Wet or dry, an orgasm can be an elusive thing, indeed.

Blackmer® LGL3021 Multi-Purpose LPG Pump
Product Announcement from Blackmer
Blackmer® LGL3021 Multi-Purpose LPG Pumps have been specifically designed for bulk plant and terminal applications, and is UL-Listed and approved for use on propane, butane, butane/propane mixes and anhydrous ammonia applications.
Based on Blackmer's standard LGLD3 transfer pump, the LGL3021 provides the same horsepower requirements and foot-to-flange and flange-to-flange dimensions as competitive pumps. This allows for easy installation during pump changeovers or plant maintenance without changing piping or motor drives because the inlet and discharge flanges are on the pump shaft centerline. What separates the LGL3021 from competitive pumps is that it provides 13 percent to 25 percent more flow depending on the LPG installation and application conditions, a major consideration during bulk plant and terminal operations. LGL3021 pumps also feature ductile iron construction with an internal relief valve that protects against excessive pressures, ensuring performance and reliability even under the most severe service conditions.
Additional features and benefits of the LGL3021 include: replaceable casing liners and end discs for easy rebuilding of the pumping chamber; a patented cavitation suppression liner designed for reducing the noise, vibration and wear normally caused by entrained vapors; excellent self-priming and dry-run capabilities; and easy maintenance. LGL3021 pumps are available with differential pressures up to 150 psi (10.35 bar) and maximum pump speeds of 800 rpm.

Advisor Name Title David Donze Committee Member Mark Batzer Committee Member Mohamed Noor Committee Member Keywords
- gene conversion
- parallel insertion
- homoplasy
Date of Defense 2004-08-05 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe L1Hs preTa subfamily is one of the youngest L1 families. It originated after the divergence of human and chimpanzee about 2.34 mya, and therefore is only found in the human genome. Some elements were inserted so recently that they are not fixed in the population. Thirty three of the 254 L1Hs preTa elements are polymorphic for the absence/presence of the insertion, making them useful markers for studying phylogenetics and human population genetics. However, the problem of homoplasy can diminish the value of using L1 elements as phylogenetic and population genetic markers. Examination of the L1Hs preTa orthologous insertion sites in a range of non-human primates revealed an assortment of events that altered the size of the pre-integration or "empty" sites. Only two cases of parallel mobile element insertions into the same pre-integration sites were discovered, one involves an AluY in green monkey and the other a L1PA8 element in owl monkey. However, both elements were clearly distinguishable from their human counterparts. No preTa L1 element gene conversion events were observed in any of the loci analyzed. Therefore, we conclude that L1 elements are homoplasy-free genetic characters. Files

Confederate Graves Will Be Identified
Monday, April 22, 2013
LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA—Some 50 graves have been found in the Confederate section of Lynchburg's historic Old City Cemetery, where soldiers who died of smallpox were buried. Cemetery officials will use their records to try to identify the dead and remark their graves. "Every year, we have descendants visit and ask us where their ancestors are buried. For most of them, it's easy to point out. But for these folks, it can be really disappointing to know you got this far and all you get is an open field," said Ted Delaney, the cemetery's archivist and curator. It may take several years to complete the project.

Carnival Miracle - Eastern Caribbean: Carnival Miracle Cruise Review by surffisher
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Miracle - Eastern Caribbean
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
It seems that many writers touch on the embarkation process in their reviews and I guess I'll start there as well. All in all it wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be. Yes there was some waiting around (we arrived about an hour early), and there were lines to stand on. We observed a number of chairs in a large seating area in the middle of the cavernous pier but found that we couldn't sit there as the seats were reserved for VIPs. And let me tell you there were quite a few of them. No, we had to stand in line More against the wall while Carnival staff assigned to the pier repeatedly asked us to move closer together so that more people could enter the roped off area that we were in. Despite being treated like cattle, the wait wasn't terribly long (we were near the beginning of the herd) and the boarding process wound up going pretty smoothly once the VIPs were settled in. Note that it was during the boarding process on the pier that we were first accosted by Carnival photographers. Maybe it's me, but I just didn't feel like posing for a photo at that point. I was a good deal more interested in finishing the boarding process and getting on the darn boat.
After checking out our cabins, the first thing we all did was head to Horatios for lunch, so I may as well write about dining next. Most of the family ordered sandwiches from the deli area and sampled a bit from the other food stations. We found that throughout the cruise the food choices in Horatios were many and there always seemed to be something that we liked. While we ate most of our dinners in the Bacchus dining room at the early seating, Horatios was more than adequate for breakfast, lunch and late night snacks. My boys and I thought the pizza wasn't half bad and I enjoyed the Philly cheesesteak I had as a midnight snack one evening. I was particularly pleased with the dessert station and on one of the last days was surprised to find myself eating three desserts after lunch. (I'm not that big an eater and it would be quite rare for me to consume three desserts in a week's time while at home!) I thought the various dessert items were quite good. Dinners in the Bacchus dining room were fine. We weren't impressed with the number of menu choices, but we all managed to find something we liked each evening. And while the portions weren't that large, when dinner was over no one with the possible exception of my fifteen year old son was left wanting more. And he knew he'd be grabbing a snack later on anyway. My youngest son loved the chocolate melting cake which was available as a dessert choice every night, and which he ordered every night. I had it one evening too and don't blame him. It was a chocolate lover's dream. The food service was excellent and I was impressed with our waiter's efforts to remember our names and food preferences. For some reason however, the person responsible for drink service rarely made it to our table. There were a couple of nights where had someone asked, we likely would have ordered a drink or two, but the person responsible never materialized. We didn't make an issue of it as we knew we would be having drinks later on anyway. I was a little uncomfortable with the way the waiters and waitresses all had to perform for us several times during the week upon the command of the Maitre'd. On at least three or four occasions, toward the end of the dinner seating, the Maitre'd would get on the microphone and shout out a hello to everyone and the next thing you knew music was playing and the waiters and waitresses were wearing silly wigs, dancing, singing, and clapping their hands. It was cute the first night it was done, but by the third time it occurred I thought it a bit ridiculous and to me a bit demeaning for the men and women (or indentured servants that most of them are) who work so hard trying to keep us vacationers satisfied. Maybe it's just me, but it made me a bit uncomfortable.
I was actually quite impressed with our accommodations. My wife and I had booked an outside cabin on the Riviera Deck. The room was well appointed with a comfortable bed, a small couch and a large window. This being my first cruise, I had been concerned that the room would be a bit claustrophobic, but that was not the case at all. It was quite comfortable, and I thought an efficient use of the space. The bathroom was also well designed with a spacious shower area that was not the cramped space I expected it to be. Our three offspring were confined to a smaller interior room directly across the hall, but they had no complaints either. My parents opted for a room several decks higher which was a carbon copy of our room but with a balcony outside. They were quite pleased with their room as well.
We found most of the entertainers employed by Carnival to be first rate. The ship's orchestra which played in the Phantom Lounge was comprised of top notch musicians. The Miracle dancers were incredibly talented. We thoroughly enjoyed the "Ticket to Ride" Beatle show, the Sammy Davis Jr. tribute show and even the show with the jugglers, which I expected to be boring but wound up being quite fun. We weren't too crazy about the shows that were the main entertainment in the Phantom Lounge on two nights and was comprised primarily of fellow guests who thought they could sing. One fellow performed a remarkable Ray Charles impression that had me thinking that perhaps Mr. Charles had come back to life. The remaining performers were mediocre at best and had me squirming in discomfort in my seat at times. Of course we all dutifully applauded when they were done, but at times it was more because we were glad they were through. While I admired their bravery, I didn't pay a boatload of money (no pun intended) to hear my fellow performers perform Karaoke, (which took place nearly every evening for hours in the Mad Hatter's Ball, and should have stayed there).
The Matt Hadaway Trio that played most evenings in the Gotham lounge was terrific and I found myself drawn there for a little jazz and a late cocktail nearly every evening. We all (kids included) stopped by Sam's Piano bar one evening thinking we would enjoy a sing along with Buster Freeze. Instead we were treated to an obscene version of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" that had us scrambling for the exit for two reasons: Buster's version of the song was clearly inappropriate for younger ears and his singing, if you could call it that was unfit for human ears. There was some decent rock and roll to be heard in Frankie and Johnnie's, though the place was a bit too smoky for the nonsmokers in our group.
As far as other activities go, I wasn't really impressed. Despite the listing of activities published in the daily "Carnival Capers", I found myself a little bored at times. If you aren't into gambling, shopping or drinking for a significant part of the day, there is not an awful lot to do, particularly if the weather is not conducive to outdoor activities. I enjoyed the down time and caught up on my reading, but somehow I expected more.
The port time in San Juan was brief but we did get to walk around a bit and take in a few sites of interest. We enjoyed our time in Saint Thomas, opting to take one of the many taxis available in the port to a lovely beach the name of which escapes me at this writing. We also bargained with a wonderful open air taxi driver named Santa who took us on a tour of Tortola and which also included a beach visit. There are plenty of such taxis in both ports and this is definitely the way to go to see both islands without paying for one of the overpriced excursions offered by Carnival.
Overall Impression
This was my first cruise and while it was great to get away with the family, I was not overly impressed and there were aspects of the trip (not the food though) that left a bad taste in my mouth. I expected to pay for drinks; I knew that was part of the deal. I knew too that things like excursions cost more money as well. But, I didn't expect such an effort on the part of the cruise line to separate me from more of my money. For example the "art auctions" involved a rather obnoxious fellow whose job it was to "educate" auction attendees about art and then of course promptly solicit their bids on pieces that were available. Bingo - usually an enjoyable enough diversion, typically consisted of only one game that was over in minutes. Cards were sold for 10 dollars each or three for 20 dollars. The prize money never came close to equaling the cash that was taken in. My observation of the number of cards sold and the amount of cash going back to the winners revealed that bingo is a huge cash cow for the cruise line. Is this really necessary? While I wouldn't expect Carnival to take a loss here, the amount of money they take in is ridiculous for what should be included as a free or nearly free activity. This obvious effort to dip into ones wallet seemed to me to be pervasive. From the huge section of the ship dedicated to the photography department, (every photo taken by the ship's sometimes annoying photography staff is on display here), to the wine stewardess at Nick and Nora's who tried to talk me into a more expensive bottle of wine because what I had ordered (a 36.00 bottle) 'could be obtained anywhere, and perhaps I wanted to try something else', I felt the biggest concern of the cruise line was trying to wring additional money out of my already thinned wallet.
Additionally, it's 2007. We all know about the hazards of second hand smoke. Isn't it time that cruise ships, (at least all indoor public areas) be made smoke free? While there were non smoking areas on the ship, there were also areas (Frankie and Johnnie's, the casino) that my family and I couldn't stay in as the smoke was at times unbearable.
While I would go on a cruise again, I think I'll stay on land for my next few vacations. When the cruise bug bites again, I'll likely try another line in the hope that there will be a different and perhaps less money grubbing atmosphere.To whom it may concern:
I am resubmitting this as on my initial attempt - the ship we traveled on may not have been properly indicated (my error). The proper ship was the Carnival Miracle. And also while our destination was the Eastern Carribean and I did select this, it shows on the submission page "Norhern Europe" and nothing I do changes this. Thanks for your help. Less

MANA UP! according to Labour's Poll
MANA UP! according to Labour's Poll
MANA Leader and MP for Te Tai Tokerau Hone Harawira
Wednesday 26th June 2013
It's Game On
"Labour's poll confirms what Maori voters have been saying all along - this seat was never Labour's, it was Parekura's" said MANA Leader and MP for Te Tai Tokerau Hone Harawira about the Labour Party's internal poll showing the Ikaroa Rawhiti election was a two horse race "with Te Hamua running neck and neck with Labour's candidate".
"All the online polls have Te Hamua in front, advanced voting is up, and the vox-pops taken by media working the campaign have Te Hamua in the lead as well".
"Political commentators living in Auckland and Wellington seem to have been caught out by the Labour poll result, but they shouldn't have been given the strength of all the other polls" said Harawira. "I can't think what they're going to say when it's announced that the country's newest MP is Ikaroa-Rawhiti's favourite son, Te Hamua Nikora".
"People living in the area will tell you that the most visible presence has been Te Hamua's MANA crew, and they've been hitting the streets 24/7, door-knocking, delivering pamphlets, singing, dancing, driving people to the polls" said Harawira proudly. "They were even out during that massive storm that shut Wellington down and sent the big chill up the coast".
"With MANA on the rise and Labour nose-diving in today's polls, this by-election is reflecting Labour's collapse all around the country".
"Voters in Ikaroa Rawhiti should be congratulated for not getting sucked in Labour, whose candidate will get in on the list in the general election and be dumped into the back benches (where they put Parekura). And I thank them for being bold enough to back Te Hamua. He's different, but that's what makes him, and this electorate special".
"More than any of the others, I think Labour's poll shows that the people know that Te Hamua is the candidate that most reflects the heart and soul of the electorate".
"3 days to go" said Harawira. "Te Hamua's on a roll and Ikaroa Rawhiti deserves the energy that he brings".

Born in beautiful Germany, grew up in adventurous Algeria, but spent most of my live in Germany. My journey then took me to the lush and sunny islands of Hawaii before moving to San Francisco. Now, after being abroad for almost 8 years, I decided to move back to Germany and so far I am very much liking it. I love to travel and explore new cultures and places, enjoy the nature, go to great restaurants with friends and exercise whenever possible. Last but not least, I work for a very exciting tech company where I head strategic partnerships in Europe which means I get the chance to explore the best cities in Europe from time to time :-)
Favorite shows: Almost never watch TV but I enjoyed watching How I met your mother, 24, Breaking Bad
Favorite Food: Sushi, Fish, Oysters, Pasta, Vietnamese, Arabic

Scotty McCreery vs. Eric Paslay – The Showdown
Scotty McCreery's new single 'Feelin' It' had a good weekend. The song topped Blake Shelton's latest, a duet with Gwen Sebastian called 'My Eyes.' The singer's fans continue to step up for him, and he'll need them early this week as the track squares off against one of country's hottest newcomers.
Eric Paslay's 'Song About a Girl' is nearing the Top 20. The country-rocker is the follow-up to his No. 1 single 'Friday Night,' but it's a new sound for this Texan. Gritty, industrial production allow this track to stand out on the radio. Can it stand out in the Showdown however?
Listen to clips of both McCreery's and Paslay's songs and vote for your favorite here. You can vote once every hour until this Showdown ends on Wednesday at 8AM ET, so come back and vote often to be sure your artist wins. The winner of this matchup will face a new challenger on Wednesday.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/1/2013 (1670 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Priya Tandon believes in giving back and paying it forward at the same time.
Tandon — a Creative Communications student at Red River College — is the main organizer of Tonight We Are One! — an awareness and fundraising event to raise money for One! International Poverty Relief, a non-profit organization that teaches literacy to children in the slums of Mumbai (also known as Bombay), as well as provide clothing, medical and nutritional help so the kids can focus on their education.
The fundraiser will be held on Fri., Jan 25 at 6:30 p.m. at Norwood Community Centre (87 Walmer St.) and feature entertainment by Crestview-based Manohar Performing Arts of Canada, sitarist Joshua Stanton and a Bollywood-related performance, Tandon said. Local radio personality Adam West will be MC and guest of honour will be Tania Spilchen, founder of One! The food is sponsored by Clay Oven.
During the months of planning for the event, Tandon has been supported by a committee — Michelle Gazze, Jancey Francis, Richa Tandon and Wajihah Mughal — that has helped sell tickets, arrange sponsorship packages and offer continued support, she said.
In an academic sense, Tandon organized the event because students in the program are required to complete a year-long Independent Professional Project (IPP) in order to graduate: "This event made perfect sense," she said.
On a personal level, the Richmond West resident said she is holding the fundraiser to give back to the community that has given her so much.
"Being born in India and raised in Canada, it was a challenge to maintain both the Canadian and East Indian culture, but because there's such a strong South Asian community in Winnipeg, I was able to do that," Tandon said.
"Not only that, but I want to be able to see how much a small donation can go so far to a child and family. People should buy tickets because, unfortunately, we don't all have the opportunity to make our way to different countries and support others in need. This is one of the ways people can do so without having to travel so far."
Tandon added her parents are the inspiration behind the event.
"They have always encouraged my sister and I to value education and to always give back to others. They have ingrained it in our minds to always appreciate what we've been given, to respect others and to always fight for what we believe in," she said.
"Hence, I'm putting on this event to be able to give the same opportunities I've been blessed with to these beautiful young children who have someone to fight for them to do and be better in life."
Tickets are $30, which includes appetizers, dinner and dessert. For more information, email email@example.com or visit www.facebook.com/events/425288030877010/?ref=22.

Can't Anyone Here Play This Game?
Yesterday, everybody's gob got smacked because obvious anagram Reince Priebus was quoted as saying that the concept of "self-deportation" was "racist." (In this, of course, Priebus was indirectly calling one Willard Romney, a largely apocryphal figure from Priebus's recent past, a racist.) Holy crap, everybody thought, Reince Priebus is...making sense!
Of course, it wasn't true. Any time a Republican poobah makes sense on race, it has to be a mistake.

Once again, I despair of the rebranding.
Also, too:no votes in the room for Candy Crowley.

Consumer Reports staffers had a chance to sample a few bikes at a recent driving event outside New York. This is part two of three. Also see our first impressions of the Aprillia 850 Mana and Can-Am Spyder.
Piaggio MP3
Like the Can-Am Spyder, the MP3 scooter also has three wheels, with two in front. The big difference is that unlike the Spyder, the MP3 leans in turns like any other Scooter. A button on the right handlebar can lock it upright at low speeds, for parking and standing at a traffic light. There is also a manual parking brake.
The version we drove had the largest engine offered, a fuel-injected 492cc single-cylinder with 40 hp, mated to a continuously variable transmission, as is typical with scooters. It also had a large, protective fairing and windshield.
The MP3 is hefty. It weighs 538 pounds and costs $8,899--more than many midsized motorcycles. Smaller versions, with 244 cc and 399 cc engines are available for $7,199 and $8,699, respectively.
Eric Evarts: The MP3 was the easiest and most relaxed of the three bikes, which is not surprising for a scooter. What did surprise me was the power from the big 500 cc model. The unique three-wheeled suspension was almost unnoticeable once I was on the bike. The only strange thing was trying to weave through potholes and not knowing exactly where the front wheels were. Piaggio claims the extra wheel gives the MP3 much better braking than most scooters, which seems plausible. The big fairing made riding fast more comfortable than on the other bikes. But for almost $9,000, I'd rather make a nice down payment on a Honda Fit.
Gabe Shenhar: What an engineering marvel! Just to behold that articulation of the two front wheels is a joy to the engineer in me. Riding it is a fuss-free, comfortable affair. It is fairly agile, although doesn't encourage sporty driving. The ability to crawl or wait at a light without a foot on the ground is great for beginners, as well as for those who can afford the convenience. I only missed not seeing the front wheels and knowing exactly where I put them on the road, such as when trying to avoid a patch of oil on the road.
Jim Travers: The Piaggio MP3 is an interesting concept. Like the CanAm Spyder, it is a three-wheeler, with two wheels up front. But unlike the Spyder, the two wheels are close together, and a sophisticated suspension lets you lean in turns like a conventional motorcycle. This is good. But when stopped, you can lock the suspension so the bike holds itself up. That's a convenience, I guess, and might work sort of like training wheels for a new rider. But two wheels will always weigh more than one, and the MP3 felt front-heavy to me. Extra weight plus added cost doesn't add up to fun for me.

FB 320 Hansa, Chesterfield, Mo., Nov. 30, 2004–The NTSB labeled the maintenance facility's failure to properly install and inspect the elevator trim system, resulting in a reversed elevator trim condition, and the pilot's failure to maintain clearance from the terrain the probable cause of the Hansa jet accident. Contributing factors included the dark night and low ceiling.
Taking off from Spirit of St. Louis Airport at 7:56 p.m. on a maintenance ferry flight on a special flight permit, the Grand Aire Express jet crashed into the Missouri River two miles from the airport. The two pilots were killed. The permit stated that all IFR equipment must be working. The pilot knew that checks required for the permit had not been performed, but he asked maintenance personnel to disconnect the lines to the pitot tubes and blow out the tubes. No leak check, as required by FAR 91.411, was performed. The pilot had aborted a takeoff earlier because he had no airspeed indications. After the accident, the elevator trim cables were found to be installed improperly.

Taylor Swift Headlining Opening Night of 2015 Bayou Country Superfest
Big news for fans of Bayou Country Superfest -- Taylor Swift is headlining opening night on Friday, May 22nd!
Big news for fans of Bayou Country Superfest -- Taylor Swift is headlining opening night on Friday, May 22nd!
Tiger Stadium is one of the most revered and feared stadiums in all of College Football. It's LOUD and quite intimidating for visiting teams. Now, it looks like Tiger Stadium is going to get even louder and more grandiose with the addition of more seating and lighting boards.
The 2014 Bayou Country Superfest is right around the corner at LSU's Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. The three-day music festival held Memorial Day weekend features the hottest names in country music.
How do you feel about being able to buy beer at a college football game? Would it change anything about the way you enjoy the game? Would beer sales be the reason you wouldn't go? Would they be the reason you went more often?
Making one of the best college football experiences even better? That's what the LSU Athletic Department is trying to deliver to Tiger fans this upcoming football season.
Imagine owning a piece of LSU history? Tiger fans you can! Renovations to the Jeff Boss locker room mean LSU fans can now own a very unique piece of Tiger Stadium.
LSU's Tiger Stadium is one of the loudest in all of football. However, it could get even louder in 2014, thanks to the relaxation of a current rule.
The 2014 Bayou Country Superfest lineup has been announced!
A Saturday night in Tiger stadium brings plenty with it...football, bands, tradition, and more than anything...NOISE.
There may be some small changes in your assigned parking for LSU games this year. Here are the changes you need to know about before you head to Tiger Stadium this Saturday.

NBA Draft 2012: Players Who Improved Draft Stock in Week One of NCAA TournamentMarch 19, 2012
The second and third rounds of the 2012 NCAA Tournament provided plenty of upsets and fireworks.
It also included a number of players who had great weekends and immensely improved their 2012 NBA Draft stock.
Some of them burst on to the scene and made a name for themselves, while others just improved an already solid draft resume.
Let's take a look at three players who have improved their draft stock so far during March Madness.
Kyle O'Quinn, C, Norfolk State
O'Quinn burst onto the scene in Norfolk State's huge upset of Missouri in the second round of the tournament.
He posted 26 points and 14 rebounds against the Tigers and is averaging a double-double for the season.
He's a 6'10" center with a decent mid-range jump shot that he pulled out early and often against Mizzou.
If he can prove he can crash the boards effectively in the NBA, he'll have a spot in the league for a long time.
Dion Waiters, G, Syracuse
When Syracuse lost Fab Melo for the tournament due to eligibility issues, the Orange were written off by many people.
They still have a long way to go before they reach their expectations, but Waiters has been playing great for the Orange.
He scored 18 points in a big win over Kansas State on Saturday and hasn't missed a free throw yet this tournament.
If he can keep up his strong play, he won't only lead Syracuse to the Final Four, he'll improve to a top-15 pick in the NBA draft.
Robbie Hummel, F, Purdue
Hummel did everything he could possibly do to help the Boilermakers upset Kansas, but the team came up just short.
It'll be small consolation, but he probably secured a spot in the second round of the NBA draft with his outstanding 26-point, nine-rebound effort against the Jayhawks.
If he can stay healthy in the NBA, he could turn into a very effective small forward in the league.
He's a pure shooter, and there's always room in the NBA for guys with Hummel's size and skill set.

PDF offers yield-analysis package to fabless chip houses for foundry processes
Post a comment
SAN JOSE--PDF Solutions Inc. here announced a new yield-improvement technology package for fabless semiconductor companies to help them quickly make design changes in products without impacting the supply of devices coming from silicon foundries.
The new Design-Based Yield Improvement (DBYI) package is being made available for 0.15- and 0.13-micron process technologies. It is based on PDF's methodology for simulating the interactions between IC design tools and manufacturing processes, said company managers.
San Jose-based PDF Solutions said DBYI technology is built on detailed process characterization and design evaluation capabilities to produce comprehensive, design feature-based analysis of contributors to wafer fab yields. PDF uses proprietary test chips--called Universal Characterization Vehicles (UCV)--to calibrate feature-based yield and statistical Spice models for a selected foundry processes. The company then applies these models in its yield and performance simulation software tools.
This software enables fabless semiconductor companies to quickly implement design-change orders, based on quantitative tradeoffs of various yield contributors, according to PDF. A fabless chip company can use also this information to maximize manufacturability of products in selected foundry processes before production starts, said PDF.
"All IC makers are keenly aware that modifying IC designs to be compatible with the most advanced process and ramping to profitable yield quickly are critical issues," noted John Kibarian, president and CEO of PDF. "But for a fabless chip maker manufacturing a new IC design at a foundry, information vital to effectively integrate process and design is not readily available." He said the new DBYI technology will help fabless companies "understand process characteristics and to optimize their product designs for maximum yield and performance."
"The challenges of achieving the best match between design and process become even more pronounced for technology nodes of 0.13 microns and below, because the specific process-design interactions introduced by new materials and process technologies for deep sub-micron ICs are not easily understood or addressed," Kibarian said. "By improving design-process compatibility, PDF's DBYI technology accelerates production schedules and maximizes product yield and performance."

The RIAA is in the news again, but this time instead of a victim paying out money to the recording labels, the RIAA was forced to pay out 50,000 in legal fees. The victim, Debbie Foster was sued for copyright infringement, however the case was dismissed last Summer.As the Inquirer points out, this is a pretty significant case because previously, the RIAA has not been ordered to compensate people when they have been wrongfully sued.
Wired spoke with Foster's attorney who is obviously happy with the outcome. Her attorney also mentioned that she'll likely get more than the $50,000 originally ordered.You can bet Capital Records isn't too happy about the hefty amount they'll be responsible for sending out shortly. Not a good day for the recording industry!
In other RIAA news…
I came across this article from WHAS11.com in which they point out a Key Stats/Facts page on the RIAA website which says that CDs really should cost more. The RIAA's website says,
By all measures, when you consider how long people have the music and how often they can go back and get "re-entertained" CDs truly are an incredible value for the money.
Their claim is that between 1983 (when CDs were first introduced), and 1996, the price of a CD fell by more than 40%. During the same time, consumer prices went up around 60%. According to their calculations, in 1996, consumers should have been paying $33.86 instead of $12.75 for CDs.
I don't know ANYBODY that would have been willing to pay over $30.00 for a CD. The RIAA goes on to talk about how the quality and the number of songs has increased, and so has the range of choices, and ease of use, yet the price hasn't, so really people are getting a great value.
In the world of Technology, the price tends to go down, not up which makes this even more ridiculous. If the price of a computer went up since it was first introduced, there'd be very few people in this world that owned one. The same goes for the price of CDs. And their argument over the "re-entertainment" value? It's pitiful.
You can read the entire "Cost of a CD" article from the RIAA here.

text: We have 20 sacks for the year now through 6 games with the main guys being Ware (4), Glover (3) and Ellis (3.5). We are on pace for 53 for the year right now. I think the biggest difference this year is Ware who commands double teams and the rotation which is keeping the DL fresher. I will also give some credit to the scheme and coaching as our blitzes are more creative and aggressive this year than in year's past. Now hopefully we can keep it going through the year unlike past years when we've petered off after a good start.

According to Clyde Holloway of the Public Service Commission, my wife and I are greedy rich people whose solar panels are subsidized by the middle class. He's correct.
Every month, after we somehow manage to scrape up the money to pay our exorbitant utility bill, we laugh at the middle-class suckers who help us. Consequently, Holloway proposes to punish us rich parasites by immediately eliminating solar tax credits and reducing the amount the utilities have to pay for electricity generated by solar panels.
Does this guy seriously believe that the residents of this state are so damn stupid and uneducated that we cannot see through his flimsy fabrications? Contrary to what he apparently thinks, some of us have made it past the fourth grade. It is abundantly clear that Holloway is not acting in the best interests of the ratepayers, taxpayers or the state. He is acting in the best interests of the utilities, and that is not what he was elected to do.

While most of the rule changes announced by the NRL for the coming season are intelligent and helpful, the sport is becoming increasingly different to the one played elsewhere in the world.
In fact, the NRL must be close to being, technically, the third code of rugby. After all, now that rugby union is professional, the only things separating it from league are rules.
Zero" tackle from 20 metre restarts, taps from 40/20s, timeouts in the final five minutes of matches; these things, along with golden-point time and dual referees, make the NRL very different to the games played on parks each weekend and in England, France and elsewhere.
To people involved in the game in these areas, the most recent changes smack of arrogance; of a belief that the NRL is rugby league and no one else matters.
Those of you of a certain age would remember when all rule changes had to go to the international board. Yet now that organisation, the Rugby League International Federation, can hold a tournament that makes $6 million and a few months later be completely ignored by sweeping changes in the rules of a domestic league.
Recruitment is supposedly a key aim of the NRL. Yet the sport that players are being recruited for is growing more distinct with every passing year from the one played on TV.
The NRL is either trying to get youngsters to play an increasingly different game or it is doing nothing more than promoting itself.
You're probably reading this and asking what its author thinks should happen. What should happen is that the NRL thinks of itself as the premier league – a high-profile example of a sport played widely – and not the NFL, the only competition of any importance in its sport.
Rule changes should go to the International Federation, as they used to in the '70s and '80s. Full stop.
Too many thrills
All the other news since the last column has been in England, where the new competition structure has been announced, a naming rights backer unveiled and the draw for the Magic Weekend made public.
In this paragraph I should probably explain what the new competition structure is. But it would take more than a paragraph.
Basically, the season will kick off with two divisions of 12 and, after 22 or 23 rounds, split into three of eight.
The idea is to retain as much interest as possible in as many games as possible. This column was critical of the idea when it was first announced.
But another way to look at it is that there is just a top-eight play-off in Super League – but everyone who misses out has to justify staying in the competition the following year.
Many people have welcomed a return to what is effectively promotion and relegation. It gives teams something to aim for, they say. The flipside is short-term planning at its worst, an environment of quick-fixes that rely on staying up – or getting up – at all costs.
Whether it will help England develop players for the international stages is questionable. So is whether there are enough resources in the British game to support 24 clubs all striving for the top.
But like the club chairmen who opposed the proposal – and they only just failed to block it – Discord is now willing to at least give the idea a chance. Next year is going to be a fascinating one in the northern hemisphere.
The sponsors are called First Utility. I've never heard of them but colleague Andy Wilson makes a good point – we can now enjoy the FU Super League.
Your comments
Last week Steve pointed out that the New York Raiders have never been in the USARL and are in fact an AMNRL team describing their own competition as "defunct". That error was fixed within 90 minutes of the column being posted.
Jack, Jackmat and Bob said this whole thing was a "who cares" issue. I'll make this clear, this is a column by a rugby league zealot for rugby league zealots. Casual fans will not find much of the content very interesting at all.
Tiger23 says he would like to see the United States in the Pacific Cup. I believe we are going to "invent" Hawaii as a country for that purpose.

The Story
No season stands out more in Cincinnati Bengals' 45-year history than that of 1988. After a tough-to-watch 4-11 record in 1987, your Black and Orange dramatically flipped the script, posting a 12-4 regular season behind quarterback Boomer Esiason's best year.
Esiason completed passes for more than 3,500 yards, including 28 touchdowns and rushed for another 248 yards, snagging him the league's best QB and the NFL Most Valuable Player Award. But he wasn't alone. In Ickey Woods' debut season, he shuffled for 1,066 yards and 15 touchdowns, meanwhile Eddie Brown's hot hands snatched 54 receptions for more than 1,200 yards and 9 touchdowns.
The thrashing regular-season play continued into the postseason, as the Bengals took down the Seahawks in the divisional playoff and the Bills in the AFC Championship to set up just the franchise's second trip to the Super Bowl. In a repeat of Super Bowl XVI, Cincinnati was looking for revenge over the San Francisco 49ers. And leading the San Francisco 16-3 with just 3:10 left, it looked like they were going to get it. We won't dive back into the details of those tough final minutes, suffice to say the loss couldn't erase the magic of the franchise's best season, including the team's second AFC Championship.
Show your Bengals stripes as your team hunts down another shot at the Lombardi Trophy. Who Dey!

Along with comments by the usual toothless wonders. If you are going to be political Xavier last least be original and post something that you wrote. Then again i imagine you are still reeling from how bad a decision Palin was. I really don't get how you say you don't want to be political on this blog yet you continue to post inane comments that show no background knowledge of the subject or simply cut and past someone else's url.

I posted a link to something I found to be interesting, and something that I thought other gun owners would find interesting. This is done frequently in the blogosphere Terry.
If you don't want to follow the link, don't click the link.
I do not claim to know any of the four candidates personally. I am interested in what they say regarding issues that affect me because I vote based on what the candidates record is and what their platform is. If I see an article that has direct quotes of a candidate that is regarding one of these issues, I will post it, if for no other reason than to use for reference myself in the weeks to come. I blog for myself Terry.
Do not try to paint me as "reeling" from anything. I am not. Your ad hominem attacks avoid the issue, but I have allowed your comment anyway. Calling people toothless wonders tells me all I really need to know here.
This is my damned blog. I will post whatever the hell I please. Don't like it? Read someone else's blog.

"If you've got a gun in your house, I'm not taking it,'' Obama said. But the Illinois senator could still see skeptics in the crowd, particularly on the faces of several men at the back of the room.
So he tried again. "Even if I want to take them away, I don't have the votes in Congress,'' he said. "This can't be the reason not to vote for me. Can everyone hear me in the back? I see a couple of sportsmen back there. I'm not going to take away your guns.''
- said...
When I hear someone say they won't take sportsmen's guns, or they agree sportsmen have a right to hunt, my reaction is that the 2nd amendment is not about hunting. It is about self-defense and defense against tyrannical government. Left-wingers like to pander to the hunters, to try to divide them from other gun owners, and try to beguile them into complacence.

Yeah, unless it is an Semi-Auto, then he WILL take it, then he'll come back for your revolvers and bolt actions....then he'll come for your break action shotguns and then what will you have?

Horse riders, walkers and cyclists are being urged to take part in a sponsored event to raise money for North Craven primary schools.
Following the success of last year's first-ever event, the three primary schools, in Austwick, Clapham and Horton-in-Ribblesdale, are staging it again.
So far, the event, due to take place during the early May Bank Holiday weekend, is attracting people from far and wide.
The three schools' executive headteacher, Gill Woods, said: "After a hugely successful event last year, we're delighted that this year it's attracting wider interest from outside the area and from all sorts of clubs and organisations."
This year the course will be just over 11 miles long and will start and finish in Clapham. The route will wind its way through the Three Peaks and include panoramic views.
"The circular route will make it much easier logistically for everyone taking part, and holding it on the May Bank holiday weekend also makes it more attractive," said Mrs Woods.
It is hoped that cyclists looking forward to the Tour de France in July will want to experience some of the same iconic scenery, while horse riders will be able to try out some of the Pennine Bridleway to reach Clapham.
Much of the route is off- road, giving those taking part a safe opportunity to enjoy the scenery on a clearly marked route.
Mrs Woods hopes that the event will help fund projects at the three schools, all faced with significant reductions in their revenues.
All of the schools are classed outstanding by Ofsted and together have a total of 128 pupils.
"I hope the fundraising efforts focussed in the sponsored walk-run-cycle-ride event will enable the staff to continue to deliver these exceptional standards," added Mrs Woods.
The event will take place on Saturday, May 3 and will cost £8 in advance, or £10 on the day. Those taking part will be encouraged to get sponsorship. Times and maps will be issued on the day from the starting point at Clapham Car Park, and there will also be refreshments. More details are available from the school on 01729 860282 or headteacher @achconfed.org.uk.

The War: What Washington Won't Tell Us
The U.S. appears to be just weeks away from invading Iraq, yet the nation is singularly unprepared for what would follow--the occupation. The Bush Administration blithely talks about, in effect, spreading democracy by the sword, but it is not preparing the American people for what that phenomenon may cost in time, money, and lives. The war in Iraq may be a righteous one--Saddam Hussein is clearly a tyrant who tortures his people and builds weapons of mass destruction that could get into terrorists' hands. But Americans deserve to know just what kind of sacrifice they will be asked to make for his removal. It is time for the White House to come clean with the public.
Astonishingly, the Administration has refused to estimate either the short-term cost of war or the long-term price of occupation. Not a cent of what must be spent on Iraq--tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars--can be found in the most recent federal budget. Granted, the range of estimates may be wide, depending on how long the war lasts and who joins the U.S. in the fight and in keeping the peace. But with the U.S. at odds with its French and German allies, Americans will probably bear most of the burden.
One problem is that there is wishful thinking in Washington that Iraqi oil revenues will defray war costs and the expense of rebuilding the Iraqi government and economy. A report, Guiding Principles For U.S. Post-Conflict Policy In Iraq, by Edward P. Djerejian, who was ambassador to Syria, and Frank G. Wisner, who served as ambassador to Egypt and India, for the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy of Rice University, warns that it could cost $30 billion to $40 billion to rehabilitate Iraq's oil fields--even if they are not torched by Saddam Hussein--and to develop new ones. The report warns further that the U.S. risks being seen as an imperialist in the Middle East rather than a liberator if it doesn't allow the Iraqis to manage their own oil fields. Bottom line: Just as Washington proposes big tax cuts, we don't have any idea of the true financial burden of a foreign policy of preemption.
Nor do we know if the Administration yet has a plan for occupation. There is an ongoing debate inside the White House on whether a U.S. general should run a post-Saddam Iraq for years, a la Douglas MacArthur, or whether there should be a quick transition to international agencies, then to Iraqis. There are questions about using a "U.N. model," which gives the U.N. the task of nation-building, or a more efficient "U.S. model" that has Americans directly running the show. Even the kind of democracy to be introduced is unclear: A loose federation could give the Kurds the freedom they crave, while a more centralized government could curb violence among tribes. Nation-building has been slow going in Bosnia and Afghanistan and a total failure in Haiti. The Administration needs a plan.
Beyond Iraq, Washington appears unsure about what comes next in the Middle East. To avoid being perceived as anti-Muslim or anti-Arab by invading Iraq, the U.S. must quickly reengage in the Palestinian-Israeli dispute and call for the withdrawal of most settlements. Yassir Arafat has said privately that he would now accept the Camp David/Taba accords. Polls show that most Israelis would accept them, too, if they were enforced by a strong leader. An Israeli-Palestinian agreement is essential to spreading democracy in the Middle East. It would remove the source of anger dictators and kings manipulate to maintain their power. The Administration needs a plan.
It's two minutes to midnight, and Americans are justifiably nervous. We appear to be unprepared for the cost of war, the price of occupation, and the demands of ensuring long-term peace. Washington simply has to do better than this. Too much is at stake.

Paz De La Huerta
Outside of New York City's ultra-hip downtown cocoon, Paz de la Huerta is not yet a household name. But in the arty, party-fueled world south of 14th street, there isn't an artist, photographer or scenester that hasn't crossed paths with, worked with or partied with the stunning young ingenue. Known for her small roles in a string of art house staples, Paz de la Huerta is set to break out as Steve Buscemi's personal sex toy in HBO's critically acclaimed new drama Boardwalk Empire. If you have trouble spotting her, she'll be the one with her top off. Or better yet, check out this video from her recent racy photoshoot with Page Six magazine.
AppealIn Boardwalk Empire, Paz de la Huerta plays a sultry bombshell who oozes sexuality and loves being naked. In real life, Paz de la Huerta is a sultry bombshell who oozes sexuality and loves being naked. The 27-year-old sexpot with the smokey eyes, pillowy lips and immaculate body has never shied away from her own sexuality, appearing nude in a handful of films and photographs. She's also openly expressed her deep love of coitus, boasting a laundry list of former lovers that includes Jack Nicholson, Orlando Bloom and Scott Weiland.
SuccessIn New York City's creative scene, Paz de la Huerta has it made in the shade. In 2003, de la Huerta was featured on the cover of New York Times Magazine, who called her a "model and a muse," focusing less on her work as an indie actress (by this point de la Heurta had appeared in a number of films including The Cider House Rules, Riding in Cars With Boys and A Walk to Remember).
Since the seminal cover, Paz de la Huerta has continued modeling and musing (mostly for close friend Zac Posen) and has continued to establish herself as a serious artist, directing several experimental shorts and appearing in Jim Jarmusch's The Limits of Control and Gaspar Noe's controversial Sundance darling Enter The Void. Still, Paz de la Huerta has remained unknown to mainstream audiences until this fall when she debuted opposite Steve Buscemi in HBO's latest water cooler drama, Boardwalk Empire.
Paz De La Huerta BiographyBorn Maria de la Paz Elizabeth Sofia Adriana de la Huerta, the native New Yorker grew up in the early incarnation of SoHo, when it was the hub of the city's art scene. Paz de la Huerta was groomed for a life as an artist from an early age, spending her childhood visiting art galleries with her mother, an authority on birth control in third world countries for the United Nations, and her father, the Spanish Duke of Mandas and Villanueva. However, as Paz's childhood eccentricities grew (she only wore silk underwear), so did her father's alcoholism, which eventually led to her parents' separation when their daughter was just 12.
Growing up as a member of lower Manhattan's creative class, Paz de la Heurta bought into all the tropes that went along with it; she shaved her head, fell into the punk scene, befriended artists and musicians, and commiserated with drug addicts. One of her artist friends was photographer Tina Barney, who took a photo of Paz applying makeup in a mirror, while her less-than-pleased mother glared in the background. The photograph achieved a cult-like status in New York's fickle art world, was published in W magazine, displayed at the MoMA and made it's young Lolita into something of a local celebrity.
paz de la huerta embarks on her acting careerEven before Paz de la Huerta began honing her acting skills at Saint Ann's in Brooklyn, she had already appeared as Tobey Maguire's young love interest in The Cider House Rules. By the age of 20, de la Huerta landed roles in Ethan Hawke's Chelsea Walls, Riding in Cars With Boys and A Walk to Remember. Aside from her fledgling career as a feature film actress, de la Huerta believed in experimenting with cinema, and appeared in a variety of her peers' art projects, including a dozen short films, two of which she directed herself.
paz de la huerta stars in enter the voidBefore she made the trip to 1920's Atlantic City, Paz de la Huerta appeared in two major contributions to the art house cinema cannon. First as an always-nude temptress in Jim Jarmusch's The Limits of Control, and then as an unstable nymphomaniac in controversial French director Gaspar Noe's psychedelic melodrama Enter The Void, which received a standing ovation at this year's Sundance (though some critics have called it "unwatchable"). "I met Paz and I really liked her." said Noe of his young muse. "She had the profile for the character because she likes screaming, crying, showing herself naked -- all the qualities for it." Um, that sounds about right.
paz de la huerta stars in boardwalk empireWhen HBO announced the cast for its highly anticipated prohibition-era drama Boardwalk Empire, much was made about the strong pedigree of men who would be walking the reconstructed boardwalk. Steve Buscemi, Michael Pitt and Michael Shannon were just some of the accomplished thespians who were to lend their acting chops to Martin Scorsese's epic series. The females who populated the cast were largely unknown, Gretchen Mol perhaps the most recognizable of the bunch. Now at its halfway point, one thing is clear about the ladies of Boardwalk Empire: Paz de la Huerta has emerged as the sexiest, most intriguing, most riveting of the bunch; a vindictive, confused and potentially violent femme fatale who exudes sexuality like no other character on television. Now, that's our kind of girl. We can't wait for season 2 in October.

Patricia Wexler M.D. Anti-Aging Starter Kit Reviews
GREAT FOR AGING SKINThis is a great way to try many of Patricia Wexler's products. My favorite, like most probably is the serum. I do have to say, if your skin is sensitive, you may want to slowly start using the microdermabration treatment and never more than once a week. (for that skin type) For me, I was able to use it a few times weekly, as needed. After 30 days of using the kit as a whole, my skin brightened and looked great. — 9 years, 4 months agosdgirljoyce | 13 reviews

Best Kept Secret...I admitt it. I'm a product junkie. I love to try new things, and though I was happy with the skin care line I was using, I was curious about this one.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Montréal se sent encore comme une étrangère pour moi, mais je l'aime tout de même. Ma vie a été très inspirant et pleine de possibilités depuis que j'ai déménagé ici. Je suis à la recherche d'un partenaire de vie à partager des aventures.
Je suis ici depuis près de trois ans. Notre groupe d'amis sont incroyablement fun et varié, mais trop anglophone. J'aimerais rencontrer plus de Montréalais dans les situations où il n'est pas difficile musique forte de ma compréhension.
I've got an MSc in geography, though I consider myself a biologist. Specifically I work with spatial ecology, from mapping and satellite characterization of plant ecosystems, to looking at how things are behaving in a mathematical model. I've been fascinated since being a kid at why certain animals and plants are where they are, and how it all works together. My brain is full of so much stuff on how the natural world works. As a result I also love being outdoors, environmentalism, sustainability, and the philosophy and ethics of how humanity fits into that. I'm definitely looking for someone who shares similar values, but isn't afraid to get into protracted conversations.
Music, my first love. I've been DJing for over 10 years, finishing my own tunes for 4 and been a lover of music since I remember hearing it. I'm mostly into electronic music, but I also really love folk, indie, jazz and world music. I don't really get modern pop music, as it sounds like the same song over and over again. Ironic coming from someone who loves the 4/4 boom boom boom boom, I know. But, growing up in the 80s and 90s, I do love me some cheese. Primarily though, I listen to a lot of dub techno, minimal techno, dark techno, deep dubstep, future garage, psybient, progpsy, wonky, la beats, trip hop, abstract hip hop, acid jazz, folktronica, etc. check out current mixes and tracks if you're interested:
Love, the journey of life. I'm at the point in my life where I'm looking for a permanent, primary partner to really build something with. I know what I want, but I'm open to finding out who a person is, and am not restrictive in that. I'm just transitioning out of a long term polyamorous relationship. So those familiar with that territory, or queer, or generally more fluid and open about sexuality are certainly more likely to get this. That said, I've always been loyal and a touch chivalrous, and am really seeking someone to be and make a priority with.
I'm also spiritual in my dedication to love, with a scientific ability to maintain the dualism in mysticism between skepticism and faith. It does me well for culturing mindfulness and good living. My rational side battles with my romantic desire for meaning and poetry. I feel all the better for it, but don't take kindly to pseudoscience or unethical dogma.
music: techno, house, industrial, post rock, indie, ambient, idm, experimental folk, jazz, minimalist contemporary classical... i could list endless subgenres and artists here. Music and dancing to it is a huge part of my life. i'm a dj and producer, see above. i love making mixtapes for people
food: vegetarian, indian, mediterranean, farmer food, fresh and healthy. although i have an irrational weakness for cheesies.
I love to cook, and I think I'm pretty decent at it. Although baking is something that still eludes me. I think of recipes as ideas rather than restrictions, so the science of baking sorta flies out the window.
video: 80s fantasy movies, tim burton, foreign drama, nature documentaries, big fish, sunshine for the spotless mind, Firefly, Community, Invader Zim, scifi action entertainment, anime, hudson hawk, fifth element, gormenghast. those are what i return to, though i enjoy all things clever; alternating between taking myself very seriously and not at all serious
shows: electronic music, modern dance, symphony, world music, electronic arts, art & design, environmental art
Or reading and doing music stuff at home if I'm worn out from the week or have an idea burning to get out.
Shenanigans are about half share with downtime.
Vous êtes francophone mais vous avez lu tout cela quand même.
