Ok, so I know I've already asked a similar question but it's really hard for me because it's my first relationship...
We kissed a lot on Sunday it was amazing! so today we met to grap lunch and spent that one hour together before I had to go back to work. Though we had that great time together, it seems to be quite hard to "break that moment of akwardness" that people usually have at the beginning... At least I feel as if we both don't know how to greet.. to kiss or just to hug... or both... Even when it comes to holding hands we always must "start" from the beginning but than once "the ice is broken" everything is perfect and we spent time together just a like a "new" couple normally does...
When we chat on whatsapp he resently wrote me that he loves me and we chat like a young couple...
What do you guys think? Is that normal? Or what could I do to change that or help him maybe if he's nervous?
Thanks for your help. I appreciate every comment.

i get hair all over my body :( chest, boobs, tummy, thighs, back. everywhere :( its so ugly. its too expensive 2 wax and it would take me forever to shave, not to mention tht the hair grows back thicker. I dnt kno what to do :( I can't ever lift my shirt because of it.
Most Helpful Guy
I got hair on my chest and along my stomach (its called a happy trail I think?), I hate it but I learn to accept my body. I mean its not a lot but it always grow back quickly.
So just try to shave and learn to just adjust to it. You can do it, you might shave often but its still removing the problem, and its understandable, so the right guy would understand.00|00|0

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Elias Not Skating- Day To Day
by Paul on 02/28/06 at 09:30 AM ET
Comments (0)
I haven't skated in almost two weeks, so I need to get back in shape a little bit," said Elias, who suffered a ribs and back injury when he was crosschecked in the Czech Republic's opening Olympic game. The Devils are calling his injury back and rib bruises, although suspicion has already arisen that such a long layoff could indicate a cracked rib. Elias has not even been exercising off ice, something he said he hopes to begin today. It may be another couple of days before he begins skating and practicing with the team. "It is day to day now," Elias said.read on (reg. req.)

An Ivor Production
An Ivor Production
Your 13 year old son Jonty has got a group of his friends round for a sleepover.
It is a Friday night, but both you and your spouse have to go to work on Saturday.
You have popped your head round the door twice and told them to keep the noise down but without too much success The last time you did so you warned Jonty that he knew what came next if you had to ask again. This was greeted with loud 'Oohs' from him and the rest of the gang. You then extended your warning to cover the whole group. You have spanking rights for most but not all of them.
Around 2:30 the noise breaks out again, This is the scene that greets you when you go in the room

And what about the rest of the gang?

This or That: A Violation of Your Privacy or of Your Relationship?
After losing your practically perfect roommate of a year — she moved away for grad school — you were stuck looking for someone to sublet the extra room in your apartment. Perhaps out of desperation you made a choice too quickly, and now you're stuck with your current roommate who gets on your nerves. What's worse, she has zero boundaries, which you realize when you come home early from work and catch her in the midst of some unacceptable behavior. Would it be worse if . . .
This: She's in the middle of your bedroom casually browsing through your journal and box of personal items? When you confront her she has the gall to get testy about some of the things you wrote about her.
Or . . .
That: You walk into the living room only to see your boyfriend averting his eyes on the couch while she traipses around completely topless? When you ask her to put on some clothes, she makes a big issue of how she should be allowed to be comfortable in her own home.

Thousands of agreements have been inked since the dawn of the aviation industry. Agreements between states, organizations, service providers, and every other stakeholders. They bind parties to specific actions or layout the terms for cooperation that have mutual benefits. Air Traffic Services should ink these too.
It is not the critic who counts, the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly.
In these modern times where people can freely express themselves via social media and other means, here are some ways that an organizations can safeguard its reputation from people who set out to ruin it.

I used to have a "live and let live" attitude about homosexuals - the whole topic revolted me but I was "tolerant" (especially if I never came in contact with any of them.)
Then a good friend became active in promoting real marriage, mailed out a newsletter and had a local radio show (which since I lived in another state I couldn't listen to). His newsletters educated me, and that's probably where I found a copy of the original agenda. This was in the second half of the 1980s.
Actually the night the weird couple came to the door I had a stack of info I'd xeroxed at Kinko's, ready to hand out at an event at the university; some pro-homo speaker event.
Ha ha.
This was around 19994.
The left has coopted the homo's desire to be accepted in our society and is using it as a weapon against their chief Enemy.
The homos now are just a vehicle in the left's agenda to criminalize Christianity.

We love our volunteers! The Big Beers, Belgians & Barleywines Festival simply would not be possible without the dedicated volunteers that jump in and carry us through Big Beers weekend each year. You are absolutely appreciated.
Volunteers for the Big Beers Festival can earn complimentary or discounted admission to the Commercial Tasting (as well as a staff t-shirt!) through their time and effort. Volunteer shifts include such options as coat check, homebrew competition judging/stewarding, pouring during the tasting, assisting with the seminars, etc. One volunteer shift will reduce your Commercial Tasting ticket cost to $35, and two shifts earn free admission. To volunteer to assist with Big Beers Festival programming, please contact Laura Lodge.
As a volunteer, you are responsible for showing up for your shift in time to check in and be at your designated volunteer location at your scheduled time. We ask that you keep your alcohol consumption minimal and keep in mind that you are an event representative while you are working your volunteer shifts. Detailed information will be sent in advance of the festival by email, and you are responsible for any and all responsibilities affiliated with your volunteer position.
In appreciation for your time and effort, we will also admit all volunteers to the Commercial Tasting 30 minutes prior to the start of the event. Please use the Will Call/Media/VIP/Volunteers line for entry rather than the general admission entry. You will need to check in at Will Call with the number of shifts you have worked prior to admission. If you have only worked one shift, you can pay the balance at that time.
Volunteers will not be welcome to return to work the Big Beers Festival for future events for the following reasons:
- No call/email, no show for your shift
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Irresponsible behavior
- Failure to perform your volunteer responsibilities to an acceptable standard
- Altercations with other volunteers, staff or attendees
Remember, you are the face of the Big Beers Festival as a volunteer. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions or need assistance with anything, and let attendees know that we will always do our best to make their experience exceptional.
Thank you once again for your support!

Any help is really appreciated.
Jon D.
I recently bought the Smoke Hollow Pro 44 from Sam's and plan to use it for the first time this weekend. For the price I thought it was worth giving it a shot.
While putting it together I removed the hose that came with it and replaced it with the Bayou Classic M5HPR-1 which includes a needle valve. I also put Fireblack 1/2 x 1/8 black gasket around the 2 doors only because I read the smoke may leak out the door a bit. Depending on how it holds smoke I may also line where the top and bottom units come together with Rutland Stove Gasket Cement Black.
With the needle valve in place I was able to easily hold 140 without worry of the flame going out but I don't really plan on needing to go that low. I've been using the AMNTS for a couple years now and plan to use that in the SH as well. Using only one burner (with the AMNTS above the other unused burner) and with the valve limiting the flame, I don't see how it can really burn through gas any faster than anything else that's putting out the same flame. It's possible that because of the heat/smoke leakage in the door that more gas may have been needed to maintain temps but with the gasket in place I can't see that as being an issue.
If you don't plan on purchasing right away I'll let you know how the SH performs and how much LP it uses if you'd like. I don't have a lot of time to smoke between the kids' soccer and basketball games so I'm only planning on doing a couple tri-tips which should only take 1.5-2 hours so it may not be a good indication of fuel consumption.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I've smoked ribs, pastrami, tri-tip so far and it's worked great. It's almost too easy with the heat (gas) and smoke (AMNTS) being separate. With the mods it can hold steady at 175 if you ever wanted to go and can get too hot to where it fuses shut a flue (yes, I did that on the initial seasoning - oops). The temp was so high it really burned down the gasket so it isn't holding the smoke as well as it could have otherwise but I'm still able to get a good amount of thin blue smoke coming out the stack.
The 12" AMNTS fits perfectly where the removed chip box would go. I also used the 18" AMNTS and put it higher up on the lowest rack near the door and that worked fine as well.
All in all, I'd buy it again and do the same mods. It works well and is worth the money IMO. With a Maverick or 2 in there it really is set it and forget it.
Hope that helps even though it's so late.

When does this positive feedback loop end? When market participants are punished for buying the dip. Plainly, this occurs when the market does not run straight up to new highs but instead fails at a lower high, followed by a sharp move down to a lower low.
Most are assuming this will not occur until after October because this is the pattern we observed following the end of QE1 in 2010 and QE2 in 2011. In those years, shortly after the QE programs ended, a deep correction ensued: a drop of 17% in 2010 and another drop of 21% in 2011.
Will it be as simple this year? I highly doubt it. As game theory dictates, some market participants will inevitably cheat, seeking to get ahead of any selling that could follow the end of QE. We may already be seeing this as the broad market indices have struggled thus far in 2014 and widely held hedge fund positions have fared much worse.
The "smart money" is likely already selling.
While the selling may not reach the levels of 2010 and 2011, at the very least market participants should be prepared for higher volatility in the coming months. Our ATAC models used for managing mutual funds and separate accounts are currently reflecting this view and are defensively positioned.
Whether you believe in the concept of a "Fed put" or not, the prospect of an end of QE and possibly higher rates in 2015 is likely to change the psychology of the market. And as we all know, in the short-run the market trades primarily on psychology.
Buckle up, it's about to get interesting.

A play of graceful light overhead, String Lights by Michael Anastassiades adds a streamlined sophistication to your home or office. Providing diffused light, the suspension lamp features a matte black varnished die-cast aluminum body coated with clear soft-touch varnish. The optical diffuser is opal PC (polycarbonate). The suspension system is 12- or 22- meters, with Kevlar reinforced coaxial cable.
This fixture should be relaxed and then re-tightened approximately 24-hours after installation.
Please note: String Lights should be connected to an on/off switch. Dimming capability is only possible for electronics with an optical mechanism, and can be operated either via an app or by using the sensor on the luminare.

Please contact customer service for further details. For installation guidance, refer to the Installation Guide. You can also watch the installation video here.
Inspiration behind the design:
"Every time I take the train, I sit by the window and watch the series of perfectly parallel strings connecting the pylons, as we move at high speed," explains designer Michael Anastassiades. "I love the way they divide the landscape and how spheres are occasionally beaded through the wires at random intervals. I also love how, in Mediterranean cultures, strings of lights are stretched between posts to mark an outdoor space for an evening party in a village square. And finally, I love how human ingenuity works around problems created by everyday things in the house (like switches and power points) that others have chosen to position where we don't want them."

I recently watched a film that reinforced one of my growing convictions about good art -- it evokes multiple interpretations. It's true of any good book or movie, isn't it? The more you think about it or discuss it, the more a new angle, a new subtlety, a new layer emerges.
The film I'm referring to is John Huston's version of the Flannery O'Connor novel, Wise Blood, which was recently re-released by Criterion. The movie captures O'Connor's signature style of "Southern grotesque" with audacious characters and disturbing religious imagery. So stark, so paradoxical, were those images, that I found myself puzzling over them days after I watched the film. What was the author trying to get across?
Apparently, I'm not the only one to wrestle with interpreting Ms. O'Connor's material. In the DVD extras, actor Brad Dourif who played the lead character Hazel Motes, was interviewed about the making of the film. At one point, he cites disagreement with the director over the central meaning of the movie. Dourif insisted that Hazel Motes, his character, genuinely converted to Christ. John Huston disagreed. "Motes went mad," contended Huston.
Interestingly enough, a recurring theme in the remaining extras is how Huston, a strident atheist who fancied spoofing religious nutjobs with the film, came to agree, begrudgingly, with his lead actor. "I believe I've been had," the director is reported to have exclaimed near the end of production. "Jesus wins."
Some Christian artists and writers don't like this kind of ambiguity. "If Jesus wins," they say, "then make it clear! Why make readers or viewers wrestle with interpretation?" These individuals believe that the "meaning" of a piece should be fairly obvious, unobstructed by metaphor, mystery, unconventional structure and unresolved plot elements. In other words, if it needs interpreting, it ain't Christian.
I dunno. In preaching, clarity is essential. But in art, ambiguity and paradox can be pretty powerful. That is, of course, unless we see our art as preaching.
So what do you think? Should Christian fiction need interpreting? Or must its "message" be plain enough so as to avoid ambiguity and misinterpretation?

SE: Top Moments of November 2015
At the end of every month during the athletic and academic year, K-State Sports Extra glances back at the month's best plays, victories and moments. From exciting individual performances to teams pulling together for wins to special recognition of former players, November 2015 has been an exciting month to be a Wildcat.
Here are the moments K-State Sports Extra has dubbed this month's best:
10. Men's basketball opens the season 4-0
The Wildcat men's basketball team opened the 2015-16 season on a high note as it averaged 80 points per game through its first four wins. The Wildcats were led in scoring by a different player in each of those four games – Wesley Iwundu, Justin Edwards, Barry Brown and Dean Wade – and capped off the streak with a 66-42 victory over Missouri in the CBE Classic semifinal game in Kansas City.
The Wildcats posted wins over Maryland-Eastern Shore (70-52), Columbia (81-71), South Dakota (93-72) and Missouri during the stretch and saw three players – Justin Edwards (16 points per game), Wesley Iwundu (14 points per game) and Dean Wade (13.5 points per game) – averaging scores in the double digits.
9. Kamau Stokes' 24-point performance against No. 9/8 UNC
Despite falling, 80-70, to the No. 9/8 North Carolina Tar Heels on Nov. 25, Kamau Stokes' performance was anything but ordinary. The freshman guard scored a game-high 24 points on 8-of-15 shooting, including 6-of-8 from the 3-point range.
"It was that day. Sometimes it's not on, sometimes it's on," said Stokes of his performance after the game. "I just played within the system and got it done. It was a great experience, not just for me, but everybody because we know that we can compete at the highest level."

8. Kindred Wesemann's 28-point performance
On Nov. 19, Kindred Wesemann helped push K-State past the South Dakota Coyotes, scoring a season-high 28 points in the 84-81, overtime victory.
It marked Wesemann's 18th career game with 10 or more points and her first this season. It was her third career game with 20 or more points. Wesemann also went a career-high 12-of-12 from the foul line. She is the fourth player in program history to be perfect on 12 or more free throws in a game. She was 4-of-8 from the 3-point line, marking her 27th career game with two or more connections from beyond the arc.
7. Equestrian upsets No. 6 Horned Frogs
The K-State equestrian team upset the No. 6 TCU Horned Frogs, 10-9, in a head-to-head battle at Timbercreek Stables on November 13. Despite falling in both Equitation on the Flat (3-2) and Equitation over Fences (3-2), the Wildcats rallied to win Horsemanship (3-1) and Reining (3-2).
"I think we preformed very well today," said head coach Casie Maxwell after the win. "We have been building on this confidence for the last couple of meets and it was nice to be able to finish it today. They just kept fighting strong and we managed to get it in our favor today."

6. Rolando Blackman inducted into College Basketball Hall of Fame
Former Wildcat men's basketball great Rolando Blackman was inducted into the College Basketball Hall of Fame on Friday, Nov. 20.
Blackman was a star for the Wildcats from 1977-81. He was one of just two players in Wildcat history to earn First Team All-America honors in consecutive seasons, and, in his four years, he guided the Wildcats to an 80-41 record, two trips to the NCAA Tournament – including the 1981 Elite 8 – and the 1980 Big Eight Tournament title.
"I've been thinking about all the great people who were there for me," Blackman said. "Jack Hartman gave me an opportunity and a chance to do things at a higher level. All my teammates, all the guys on the squad, we were there together as one trying to win the basketball games. I was also learning in school with my professors. It was all of us together on the court and off the court. I had a full education here at Kansas State and it was the full experience of it that made me successful today."

5. Football wins Sunflower Showdown
From start to finish, the Dillons Sunflower Showdown on Nov. 28 was jam-packed with excitement for Wildcat fans. K-State (5-6, 2-6 Big 12) defeated the Kansas Jayhawks (0-12, 0-9 Big 12), 45-14, and escorted the Governor's Cup home to Manhattan for the seventh consecutive season.
"I'm glad we won. We played well enough to do so and that's a plus," said K-State head coach Bill Snyder after the game. "(The Sunflower Showdown) means an awful lot. I appreciate all the people in the state of Kansas; everybody has a side and it means a lot to so many people. It means a lot to KU people just as it does to K-State people and that makes it very meaningful."

4. Flowers, Schultejans earn back-to-back conference recognition
On Nov. 2, K-State freshman middle blocker Macy Flowers earned her first career Big 12 Rookie of the Week honor following solid performances in wins over West Virginia (Oct. 28) and TCU (Oct. 31). Against the Mountaineers, Flowers matched a career-high in kills with 11 while swinging at a .476 clip. Against the Horned Frogs, she recorded 10 kills and five blocks
The following week, freshman outside hitter Alyssa Schultejans also earned Big 12 Rookie of the Week honors for her performance against Texas Tech and led all Big 12 freshmen in kills (3.33), points (3.67) and aces (0.33) per set for the week of November 2.
The duo's honors mark the first time in school history that two different Wildcats earned the Big 12 Rookie of the Week award in the same season and are proof of just how much of an impact these two freshmen have made on the court for the Cats.

3. Burns earns back-to-back conference honors
Kansas State senior kick returner Morgan Burns picked up his second-consecutive Big 12 weekly honor on Nov. 23 as he was again named the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week following his performance in K-State's thrilling 38-35 victory over Iowa State. He also earned the award on Nov. 16 for his record-breaking performance in K-State's loss to Texas Tech.
His 100-yard kickoff return touchdown against the Cyclones marked the second-straight week Burns returned a kickoff for a score. It was Burns' third return for a score in 2015, while he became the first player in school history with two 100-yard returns in a season and first in the Big 12 since Fozzy Whittaker (Texas) in 2011. Burns is the only player nationally this year with two 100-yard returns, while his three kickoff return scores rank second in both school and Big 12 history.

2. Volleyball earns NCAA Tournament bid
For the second straight season, the K-State volleyball team will head to the NCAA Tournament as the Wildcats face in-state rival Wichita State in the first round on Friday, December 4 in Lincoln, Nebraska.
K-State, which is also making its fourth appearance in the postseason tournament over the last five years and 16th all-time, are one of four teams in the Lincoln sub-regional played at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. No. 4 national seed Nebraska and Harvard match up on Friday following the K-State-Wichita State contest, which starts at 4:30 p.m. Winners from Friday will advance to the second round contest, set for 7 p.m. on Saturday.
"Just elated," said K-State head coach Suzie Fritz about earning a spot in the 64-team field. "We feel like we deserve to be there, but at the same time, there were some things that got away from us in the last few matches. [We have] been wonderfully resilient. They have won the matches they are supposed to win, and I believe we have gotten better as we went. We are good enough to be one of the best of 64."

1. Football posts biggest comeback in school history
Goal No. 10 of Bill Snyder's 16 Goals for Success is Never Give Up – a goal K-State football took to heart in its 38-35 win over Iowa State on Nov. 21.
Despite trailing 35-14 heading into the locker room at halftime, the Wildcats never gave up and rallied to tie the biggest comeback in school history. The comeback victory over the Cyclones also marked the Wildcats' first Big 12 win of the season.
"We had the mindset that we weren't going to lose, and once you have that mindset, you can do whatever you want," said linebacker Elijah Lee. "We're fighters; we don't give up until the clock strikes zero at the end of the fourth quarter."

Friendships in Our Thirties and Forties
A friend of mine forwarded me a recent popular article from the New York Times titled "Friends of a Certain Age. Why Is It Hard to Make Friends Over 30?" The argument states that the period for making B.F.F.'s, the way you did in your teens or early 20s, is pretty much over. It's time to resign yourself to "situational adult friends."
"In your 30s and 40s, plenty of new people enter your life, through work, children's play dates and, of course, Facebook. But actual close friends — the kind you make in college, the kind you call in a crisis — those are in shorter supply.
As people approach midlife, the days of youthful exploration, when life felt like one big blind date, are fading. Schedules compress, priorities change and people often become pickier in what they want in their friends.
No matter how many friends you make, a sense of fatalism can creep in: the period for making B.F.F.'s, the way you did in your teens or early 20s, is pretty much over. It's time to resign yourself to situational friends: K.O.F.'s (kind of friends) — for now." – New York Times
Friends! I love my friends and always have. Growing up an only child was quite lonely. I had always wanted an older sibling, preferably an older brother. You know, the cool older brother with cool friends, who would lovingly tackle me to the ground, someone to try smoking with, and teach me the ropes in life. Well, no such sibling ever came before or after me, so I made due with the next best thing… friends. I had my core group, but never stuck exclusively to them. I always had friends in many circles. My close friends, and then those friends for "a reason and a season." And it continued throughout the years. My high school friends, my college friends, my work friends, my workout friends, my blogging friends, my husband's friends, my friends through my children, my carpool friends. I adore them all. They all hold a very special place in my heart.
Perhaps as you've grown, you've made new friends along the way too. And while you may have a past with your old friends, new ones come into your life based on where you're at right now. As I've grown, I have assembled a little army of new friends. Some older than me, some younger than me. Women of all different groups. And I love these women. I recently had dinner with a newer friend, but it felt like I was having dinner with an old friend I hadn't seen in years. We sat down at 7:30 pm and didn't get up until 11 pm. We talked the night away over yummy dinner and wine. The connection was immediate… we are just "on the same page."
As we grow, get married, have kids, hold down a job, volunteer, it becomes increasingly challenging to even make time for our girlfriends AT ALL. When I asked you a while back via social media about how you make time for your girlfriends, many of you wrote back that you have chosen to no longer hang out with the friends you have "outgrown." By outgrow, you have said that both of you have changed and grown apart and you find yourselves in bouts of silence during conversations. Perhaps your priorities have shifted, and had you met this person today, there would have been no friendship at all. And while this is sad, this is life. We grow, we move, we transition, we change. Not everyone we grew up with we still share that same compatibility. And I think we have to say, "that is okay."
But the studies are clearly showing that making those good new friendships today, just ain't as easy as it used to be. And I get why.
"External factors are not the only hurdle in making new friends. After 30, people often experience internal shifts in how they approach friendship. Self-discovery gives way to self-knowledge, so you become pickier about whom you surround yourself with, said Marla Paul, the author of the 2004 book "The Friendship Crisis: Finding, Making, and Keeping Friends When You're Not a Kid Anymore." "The bar is higher than when we were younger and were willing to meet almost anyone for a margarita," she said.
Manipulators, drama queens, egomaniacs: a lot of them just no longer make the cut."
So, the "on the fence" question here today is, do you keep a friendship going with someone you share very little in common with just for history's sake, or do you let the friendship fizzle? Do you hang onto the drama queens or egomaniacs due to the risk of not finding new friends in your thirties or forties? Do you agree with this new reality, where we need to settle for "situational" friends over BFF's? I think it's a difficult answer. We're all busy women in our lives at this stage, be it working, single, married, divorced… whatever. But, I think friendships should nurture us, and not weigh us down.
So I say, keep the good, throw away the bad. Friendships shouldn't be about new or old, they should be about QUALITY. I have made wonderful new friends contrary to what the studies may say, and I have held onto the old ones with mad love.
On this very GREEN St. Patrick's Day Monday, I would love your take on friendships in our thirties and forties.

[…] We looked at how we make friends in our thirties and forties. I enjoyed this one. […]
Oh yes, I struggle to keep up my friendships like I did pre-kids. One of my favorite ways to stay in touch is to meet for lunch on work days, or to get together for playdates (preferably involving wine 🙂 ) if my friend also has kids. We all need our friends!
I'm a tad older than 40… let's say 65. I am single, very active, and have a career. I have learned that friends float in and out at my age. I have a very small group I count on and I think that's enough. I had a dear friend do a 180 on me. We were close as sisters. I never want to repeat that experience. I love people but I give them their space and freedom. I'm a new blogger looking to make meaningful connections. Hope you will check out my site. http://www.chapter-two.net
You got the point! Until now making friends it was easy for me, but the hardest part was to keep these friendships through time. I agree with Kerry's comment.
This article is spot on! Friends are really important to me, and I am lucky enough to have some wonderful ones. I love the saying – things don't end, they complete – and this is certainly true I think of friendships. Sometimes you just change, and what bound you together goes. And that's fine. We don't have time in our life for 1,000 best friends.
I'm 41 (nearly 42… when did that happen??!) and I still meet women today I instantly click with and become good friends, and I am sure this will happen all through my life. And yes, yes, yes to this:
"The bar is higher than when we were younger and were willing to meet almost anyone for a margarita," she said.
Manipulators, drama queens, egomaniacs: a lot of them just no longer make the cut."
I don't have time for 'friends' that bring negativity or drama. And I (finally) have the confidence to walk away from them without feeling guilty. I guess that's one upside of getting old(er)!
A great article, Erica, and although I'm only 20 I'm finding friendships are becoming both more difficult to maintain and make. Our priorities are changing; some of my twenty-something friends are married, have children, or are in long-term relationships; and many are focused on their education, careers and travelling. I think we have different friends at different stages in our lives, and sometimes we're not supposed to be on someone's journey with them.
Erica – this just makes me smile….real big. I have a bff since we were 15. Love my friends from 20's and 30's but I've met and loved some amazing friends who have "clicked" so perfectly since then. I say….there is no end to making a soul-sister connection. Just wish I had time for them all. Love my hubs and my kids to death…but my gal pals??……can't live without them!
Thanks for this Erica – just made me realize how blessed I am!
I think it is more about quality. I have certainly had a few friendships fizzle from my youth. On a few occasions, they faded away because of distance, but in some instances our values just too different. I suppose you are still figuring things out in your 20s, and by the time I reached my 30s, I realized a few friendships just weren't healthy. It is tough though to make new deep friendships in your 30s (and 40s) with all of our crazy time commitments, kids and career. Most of my friends probably do fall into that camp of situational friends. Still, I can see that some of those are blossoming. I hope to find ways to carve out more time with friends in the future, because I know they are so key to our health.
Have you ever thought about iduclning a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all. But think of if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more, pop ! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this website could definitely be one of the most beneficial in its field. Very good blog!
You don't let it fizzle you cut it off Ms. Diamond. Once you see its not worth the trouble leave it where it is.

▬ Hello everyone! Since I don't have too much time to come up with challenges at the moment, I thought I would plug Anna Steinbauer's (depingo) challenge and make a thread for anyone who is participating. Her requirements are similar to ours here, so get the studies out!
▬ Deadline: December 15th
▬ Prizes:
- A comprehensive book on anatomy for humans and animals
- An hour-long 1-on-1 portfolio review/critique/mentoring session with Anna!
- A signed MtG artist proof of your choice with a personalized sketch on the back from Anna!
▬ Size: Any (no requirement)
▬ Brief:
depingo wrote:Create a winter/holiday themed painting that you can then send out as a holiday card!
This is a very vague theme, I know. But I want you to try and come up with something that will represent your own ideal 'art job' - something that you'll have a lot of fun creating, something you can put in your portfolio, something that could be a part of a personal project or something you can send to clients (or potential clients) to give them a better idea of what kind of art you like to create.
▬ How to Win:
depingo wrote:The winner will be chosen based on how much work and effort they have put into both the studies and the finished painting, as well as on the progress made. Basically, this challenge is all about improving your art!
▬ Questions and answers:
depingo wrote:Q: Do I have to do studies to take part in the challenge?
A: Yes.
Q: Do the studies have to be new and specifically created for this challenge?
A: Of course! The point is to improve! Please, please don't cheat here - it's not only unfair to the others taking part in the challenge, but also to yourself. Why would you cheat yourself out of an opportunity to improve your art? D.B.A.A.
Q: Does it have to be digital art?
A: Not at all! As long as it's drawn/painted (and not photobashed or whatever), anything goes!
Q: Do I have to send my final painting to people as a holiday card?
A: It's not a requirement. But the goal is to create something you're proud of - your best work yet after all the work you've put into the studies - so why not show it off and wish people happy holidays at the same time?
Q: Can I submit my entry early?
A: By all means, be my guest!
Q: Why does the winner get an anatomy book? Shouldn't the person with the least developed skills get something to learn with?
A: I'd like to think that the winner will be the person to show the biggest hunger to learn - therefore the one that would make the most out of a good book.

In 1865, the population of the United States included 34 million whites and 5 million blacks. Nine-tenths of the black population resided in the South, concentrated in an enormous band of fertile soil that stretched from southern Virginia to eastern Texas. Here, in the "Black Belt," the bulk of the South's four million slaves toiled as the private property of white people, creating wealth for their owners by producing sugar, rice, tobacco, and, most often, cotton. Although whites made up two-thirds of the South's population, blacks were more numerous in the Black Belt, and three states—Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina—contained clear black majorities.
The defeat of the Confederacy in the Civil War, and the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, ended slavery. Slaves became "freedmen." They could have their marriages recognized in law, form independent families, worship as they saw fit, acquire and hold property, enjoy freedom of movement, and generally live their daily lives free from close white supervision. In one of their first statements of freedom, many blacks left their plantations to seek out friends and family members elsewhere. About a quarter of a million black Southerners had already enjoyed freedom before the Civil War; they had been manumitted by their masters or allowed to purchase their liberty. Although voteless, and subject to all manner of discrimination, these free Negroes had often formed stable families and acquired literacy, skills, and property. After emancipation they formed the backbone of black leadership.
Although the first days of liberation were exhilarating and disorienting, the former slaves were quick to understand that freedom would be empty without land, legal rights, education, and the vote. Meeting in conventions across the South, a black leadership emerged to press the case for full equality. Petitioning the president, Congress, and the white people of the South, these meetings expressed a common sentiment. That of the South Carolina freedmen's convention was typical:
We simply ask that we be recognized as men; that there be no obstructions placed in our way; that the same laws which govern white men shall govern black men; that we have the right of trial by jury of our peers; that schools be established for the education of colored children as well as white; ... that no impediments be put in the way of our acquiring homesteads for ourselves and our people; that, in short, we are dealt with as others are—in equity and justice.
The freedmen also asserted their freedom through actions. Expecting the government to provide each family with "forty acres and a mule," they resisted signing labor contracts with their former masters, scornfully rejecting the idea that they should work in gangs, under white supervision, in a system all too reminiscent of slavery. When compelled by necessity to sell their labor to whites, the freedmen shortened their working day, limited their working week, and often insisted that their wives cease laboring in the fields. Across the South, blacks started leaving the white churches and founding their own. From the North, but mostly from the ranks of the ex-slaves, black preachers appeared.
Whites in the North disagreed about what the status of the freedmen ought to be. The Democratic Party had opposed abolition and frankly regarded blacks as racially inferior. The Republican Party had been formed to stop the spread of slavery, and had been forced, under pressure of war, to abolish the institution entirely. But only a minority of Republicans, the "Radicals" led by Congressman Thaddeus Stevens and Senator Charles Sumner, believed that racial equality should be a national commitment. President Lincoln had proposed that the vote be given to educated and literate blacks, as well as to those who had fought in the Union forces. But he had stopped short of compelling individual states to adopt this suggestion. Although most Republicans probably wished to go further than Lincoln on the matter of black suffrage—and to go further in punishing ex-Confederates—they certainly did not envisage enfranchising the freedmen in one fell swoop.Continue reading the main story
After Lincoln's assassination, however, a peculiar combination of circumstances persuaded the Republican Party to embark upon a program of equal citizenship for the freedmen. For one thing, they were alarmed by the policies of President Andrew Johnson, a former slaveholder from Tennessee, who by a quirk of political fate succeeded Lincoln. Johnson restored self-government to the South with indecent haste, and the North was offended by the election of former Confederate leaders to Congress when the guns of war had barely had time to cool. Furthermore, Johnson was an unabashed racist whose growing sympathy for the Southern whites induced him to break with the Republican Party. Many Northern whites were also appalled by the harsh treatment meted out to the freedmen, especially by the discriminatory laws, passed by Southern state legislatures, known as the Black Codes. Whites accepted the abolition of slavery as the war's decisive verdict, but they resisted the notion that freedmen should enjoy equality of citizenship and live independent of white control. The Black Codes therefore placed freedmen under strict white supervision. They prevented blacks from testifying in court against whites. They limited the areas, especially in towns, in which blacks could buy or rent property, and they required blacks to pay license fees in order to set up businesses. Harsh vagrancy laws tried to compel blacks to work for white employers. "Numerous fines were imposed for seditious speeches, insulting gestures or acts, absence from work, and the possession of firearms," writes historian John Hope Franklin. "There was, of course, no enfranchisement of blacks." The Black Codes expressed the determination of Southern whites to define the freedmen as rural laborers with inferior rights.
The Black Codes convinced the mass of Republicans that the freedmen required some form of federal protection. Bloody race riots that took place in Memphis and New Orleans in 1866, leaving dozens of blacks dead, reinforced that conviction. Equally disturbing were well-attested-to reports of Unionists, including former soldiers now settled in the South, being insulted, harassed, and physically attacked. The Republican Party decided that control of the Reconstruction process had to be wrested from President Johnson, who, they alleged, was conspiring with the ex-Confederates to undermine the Union's victory.
The Republican Party won a decisive victory in the congressional elections of 1866, capturing a two-thirds majority in both House and Senate. When the new Congress convened the following year, the Republicans returned the South to military occupation and began Reconstruction anew. In 1868 they impeached President Johnson and, though they failed to convict him, broke the president's power.
The Republican program of Reconstruction, called "Radical Reconstruction," was a bold experiment in democracy. The Fourteenth Amendment (1867) struck down the Black Codes by making full citizens of the freedmen and entitling all citizens to "equal protection of the law." The Fifteenth Amendment (1870) forbade the denial of the vote to any adult male on the basis of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. In the South, the army compiled a new list of voters, enrolling black men but excluding many former Confederates. The new electorate ratified state constitutions that provided for universal manhood suffrage. Blacks not only voted now, but also held office: they served as sheriffs, judges, city councilmen, county commissioners, legislators, congressmen, and senators. Meanwhile, the Freedmen's Bureau, with the assistance of Northern churches and the aid of blacks themselves, created a rudimentary system of public and private schools for blacks. With education, the ballot, and equality under the law, the freedmen would flourish in a South that had been modernized, democratized, civilized, and completely reintegrated into the Union. So the Republican Party hoped and believed.
Unfortunately for blacks in the South, Radical Reconstruction was grievously flawed. The Republican Party failed to give black families the one thing they most needed in order to prosper in freedom: land. The "forty acres and a mule" that blacks had been led to expect did not materialize—the government even returned to white planters the land it had confiscated, evicting thousands of black families in the process. Though a surprising number of blacks did manage to acquire land—by 1910 about a quarter of the South's black farmers were landowners—most, lacking both land and capital, worked as sharecroppers. They grew cotton for a white landlord in return for a third or a half of the harvest, but rarely made enough money to climb out of debt.
The federal government failed the freedmen in another crucial respect: it declined to ensure their education. The war-crippled, poverty-stricken South was incapable of funding an adequate system of public schools. But Congress closed down the Freedmen's Bureau in 1870, and the federal government withdrew all support for public education, except for small subsidies to "land-grant colleges." Periodic proposals that the federal government should help to fund public schools came to nothing. By leaving public schools under state and local control, the federal government condemned them to underfunding and inequality. Black schools, especially, suffered. In 1890, about half of white school-age children in the South were enrolled in school, compared to 31 percent of black school-age children. The literacy gap was even wider: only 15 percent of whites were unable to write, in contrast to 65 percent of blacks. This abdication of responsibility by the federal government was to bedevil public education, and race relations, for a hundred years.
The worst failure of Reconstruction, however, was the government's inability, and unwillingness, to enforce its own policy of racial equality. Radical Reconstruction may have been radical in conception, but it was weak in execution. By enfranchising blacks and disfranchising many former Confederates, it alienated most white Southerners immediately. Yet instead of using its power to ensure the loyalty and good behavior of the ex-Confederates, the Republican Party quickly readmitted the Southern states into the Union, pardoned most of the disqualified whites, and withdrew all but a skeleton military force from the South.
Even before Radical Reconstruction got under way, many white Southerners attempted to overawe the freedmen by subjecting them to intimidation and violence. With the return of military rule in 1867, the enfranchisement of black men, and the subsequent election of Republican state governments, the level of violence escalated sharply. Most Southern whites rallied to the Democratic Party and fought tooth-and-nail to reestablish white supremacy. Those who supported the Republicans were castigated as "scalawags," threatened, and sometimes murdered. Northern-born Republicans, many of them former Union soldiers, were abused as "carpetbaggers" and received similar treatment.
In states where whites made up a clear majority of voters, the Democratic Party quickly regained power through the ballot box. Where black voters predominated, however, politics became very bloody indeed. White Democrats, sometimes operating through the Ku Klux Klan—a secret society founded in Pulaski, Tennessee, in 1866—threatened and occasionally assassinated white Republicans. Blacks, however, bore the brunt of the violence: countless individuals were beaten or killed; hundreds were slain in riots and massacres. The campaign of terror destabilized and eventually toppled the Republican-controlled state governments. In 1877 the Republican strongholds of South Carolina, Louisiana, and Mississippi collapsed. Radical Reconstruction came to an end.
The Republican Party opposed the wave of terror by deploying troops, forming state militias, suspending the writ of habeas corpus, and prosecuting hundreds of alleged Klansmen under new federal laws. But although the government succeeded in breaking up the Klan, other groups quickly replaced it. The white campaign of violence was too widespread to be contained by 6,000 federal troops, too well-supported to be quashed by a few hard-to-obtain convictions. The use of coercion, moreover, became increasingly unpopular among Northern voters. The national leaders of the Republican Party eventually admitted defeat. Unwilling to police the vast expanses of the South, the government wearied of a policy that had become a political albatross. The violence that accompanied elections in the former Confederacy no longer aroused public opinion; as President U. S. Grant put it, "The whole public are tired out with these annual autumnal outbreaks in the South." Shrewdly calculating that it could still capture the White House with Northern votes alone, the Republican Party allowed the Democrats to "redeem" the South.
After regaining state power, the Democratic party tolerated black voting, and even made some effort to cultivate black support. But the Democrats were unwilling to share political power with blacks. They never became reconciled to blacks holding office, and looked forward to the day when they could suppress the black vote entirely. Fearing federal intervention, the Democrats acted stealthily at first, relying on devious means to whittle away black political power. They gerrymandered electoral districts, abolished elective posts, and devised complicated procedures for registering to vote. The replacement of open voting by the secret ballot made voting more difficult for illiterates, who had an even harder time in South Carolina, where the "Eight Box Law" of 1882 required a separate ballot box for each contested post. According to historian C. Vann Woodward, outright fraud was common. "The stuffing of ballot boxes, the use of boxes with false bottoms, the doctoring of returns, the manipulation of counts, the repeating of votes, and the tampering of registration books were all highly developed arts."
Many white Southerners, however, particularly the wealthy elite that dominated the Democratic Party, were unhappy with any degree of black political participation. For one thing, despite all the obstacles placed in front of them, blacks continued to vote in large numbers, and in several states the Republican Party remained a formidable opposition. The black vote posed a particular threat when disaffected whites abandoned the Democratic Party to form an independent third party. In that situation, a combination of black Republicans and white independents could form a winning majority, ousting the Democrats from state power.
In 1890, Mississippi—the state with the largest proportion of blacks—adopted a new constitution that required electors to "be able to read any section of the Constitution of this State; or he shall be able to understand the same when read to him, or give a reasonable interpretation thereof." In the space of two years the number of black voters declined from about 190,000 to 8,000. Although the white electorate also diminished, the net effect of disfranchisement was to banish blacks from the political process. Democrats elsewhere watched to see if the federal government would challenge Mississippi's new constitution. It did not, and the government's inaction encouraged other states to imitate Mississippi's example.
The formation of the People's Party, or Populists, in 1892 offered a brief hope that biracial democracy might be revived and strengthened. The Populists made earnest appeals for black support, writes Woodward: They "denounced lynch law and the convict lease and called for defense of the Negro's political rights." Above all, the Populists—white farmers who felt betrayed by the conservative policies of the Democratic Party—argued that blacks and whites shared the same economic problems and ought to act together. "The accident of color can make no difference in the interest of farmers, croppers, and laborers," stated Tom Watson, leader of the Populists in Georgia. "You are kept apart that you may be separately fleeced of your earnings." In several states, the Populists made informal arrangements with the Republican Party to form a common front against the Democrats, a policy known as "Fusion."
In North Carolina, where the Populists and Republicans negotiated a fully fledged electoral pact, the so-called "Fusion" ticket triumphed, sweeping the Democrats from power in 1894. The Populist-Republican coalition then changed the state election laws to simplify the act of voting and to ensure that all ballots were counted fairly. This had especial importance for blacks, the voters who were most often cheated by Democratic officials. Thanks to "Fusion," and thanks to fairer elections, more blacks were elected to office in North Carolina than in any other Southern state—one thousand people in all. According to historian Eric Anderson, "North Carolina was the only southern state to tolerate so great a degree of black participation." Unlike Radical Reconstruction, moreover, "Fusion" was not imposed by Yankee bayonets; it was a homegrown experiment in biracial democracy. "[T]he racial political cooperation achieved constituted a daring experiment," judged historian Oliver Orr. "It was ... the only major such experiment of indigenous origin ever attempted in the South."
It is tempting to believe that the Populist-Republican alliance that governed North Carolina between 1894 and 1898 might have provided a model for the rest of the South. As C. Vann Woodward argued, even after the demise of Reconstruction there were alternatives to the sterile, violent, and undemocratic politics of "white supremacy" as practiced by the Democratic Party. Some variant of Fusion might, perhaps, have worked in virtually every Southern state. If North Carolina's example had spread and taken hold, Fusion could have stemmed the rising tide of lynching, slowed down (perhaps halted) the accelerating onrush of racial segregation laws, improved public education, and narrowed the disparity between black schools and white schools. Fusion might have prevented the South's descent into oligarchy and one-party rule by upholding black voting rights and fostering multiparty competition. Fusion might have made the South a fairer, less violent, more democratic, and more prosperous place.
But Fusion was never given a fair test. The Democrats countered the emerging black-poor white alliance by unfurling the banner of white supremacy, warning that a "great horde of ignorant blacks" would dominate government in the event of a Fusion victory. However, aware that many white voters would resist such threadbare propaganda, the Democrats were also prepared to subvert the electoral process in order to deny their opponents victory. "It is the religious duty of Democrats to rob Populists and Republicans of their votes whenever and wherever the opportunity presents itself," averred one Louisiana newspaper. "The Populists and Republicans are our legitimate political prey. Rob them! You bet!" In Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia the Democrats resorted to intimidation, violence, and electoral fraud to prevent the Populists from gaining power. By 1896 the People's Party had shot its bolt and, outside North Carolina, quickly faded.

Women's Afrobasket: Nigeria qualify for quarter-finals after win over Egypt
Egypt's women national basketball team have lost 106-72 to Nigeria in their...
FC Biel-Bienne striker Sherif Ashraf has rejoined El-Gouna in Egypt after terminating his contract with the Swiss side, KingFut.com can exclusively reveal.
KingFut.com has exclusively learnt that Egypt international Sherif Ashraf, who joined FC Biel-Bienne last summer, has terminated his contract with the Swiss Challenge League side and rejoined El-Gouna on a free transfer until the end of the season.
The 27-year-old striker played nine games for FC Biel-Bienne in Switzerland, scoring three goals in three consecutive games.
Ashraf did not report back to training on time with Biel-Bienne from his winter break following misunderstandings over the player's planned return.
The former Zamalek and Haras El-Hodood striker previously spent two seasons with El-Gouna, scoring nine goals in 26 appearances before embarking on a brief European journey – starting with Finnish champions Helsinki in 2012.
In Finland, Sherif Ashraf scored three crucial goals in as many games in the season's finale after leaving Helsinki to join FF Jaro on loan to help the league strugglers secure survival.
Ashraf, who earned three Egypt caps under Bob Bradley, should provide a boost to El-Gouna's struggling front-line; as Rainer Zobel's men have only managed to score three goals so far this season.
Gouna are currently 10th place in Group A with seven points from eleven matches.
