Debra Erickson
Jean Bethke Elshtain was an unusual scholar of religion. Her graduate work was in history, political theory, and international relations; her first book traced portrayals of women in Western political thought. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Chicago Divinity School in 1995, she had taught in political science departments. Elshtain had not been formally instructed in the "theory and methods in the study of religion," which many see as foundational for aspiring religious studies scholars. Nevertheless, the wide-ranging field of religious studies was a match for Elshtain's scholarship, unconstrained as it was by narrow disciplinarity.
Yet Elshtain's focus remained fixed on political life: on the attempts of human beings to negotiate their shared existence; to create communities and along with them, the potential for human flourishing. Elshtain also steadfastly maintained the conviction that politics could not be separated from ethics, that politics was a moral endeavor, not a purely instrumental one. If there was a shift in her work, it was from an implicit to an explicit expression of her belief that if one was to take human beings seriously, one must take religion seriously. That belief, of course, put her squarely in the religious studies camp.
In talking about religion, Elshtain was not seeking to explain religion as a phenomenon, nor was she arguing for basic religious literacy in the style of Stephen Prothero. Rather, she wanted to understand how things got to be the way they were, where they might be going, and what we ought to do as a result.
Her research drew her to the work of certain thinkers—many of whom were religious thinkers—and she returned to them again and again: Jane Addams, Hannah Arendt, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Albert Camus, Karol Wojtyla (later Pope John Paul II), Martin Luther King, Jr., Reinhold Niebuhr, and perhaps most important to her, Augustine. In her estimation, these thinkers grasped something true about the human condition, and communicated it in a way that was open to all with ears to hear.
In the end, Elshtain probably belonged to that company of religious studies scholars known as theologians, but not as a theologian per se: she would not have applied that label to herself. She wrote no systematic theology, nor did she exclusively target the faithful; instead, Elshtain made use of theological categories in non-dogmatic ways. In her view, "A scholar with religious convictions should be clear about when he or she is bearing witness to the faith and urging that witness on others through persuasion…and when, by contrast, religiously derived concepts are being drawn upon for scholarly purposes—for which he or she owes no one an apology." The latter was her typical mode. Her use of theological concepts hearkened back to a time when talk of God was not taboo, either in the disciplines or in the public square.
Despite its qualified aspect, the theological component of her work was challenging for those who preferred the earlier, more secular Jean Elshtain. It seemed to take her work on gender and war, the two issues on which she had built her scholarly reputation, in a conservative direction, and this effect made adversaries of some of her former allies. Religion also crossed the boundaries of her public and private roles: a lifelong Lutheran, she quietly joined the Roman Catholic Church a scant two years before her death. Here, too, Elsthain's life highlights tensions in the academy: the distinction between one's religious commitments and one's scholarly work may not be as neat as some wish it to be.
But Elshtain never shied away from uncomfortable truths or apparent contradictions. Although she worked from within the Christian tradition, Elshtain defended religious pluralism and affirmed the capacity of all people of good will to live and work together. In the title of what may have been her most theological book, she asked the pointed question, "Who Are We?" In her answer, Elshtain argued that we have forgotten who we are: fallen creatures, limited and dependent. Religious pluralism as fact or value should not mean abandoning the concepts that shaped the modern world, even when those concepts, such the Christian drama of creation, fall, and redemption, come from within a particular religious tradition. Without understanding these foundational ideas, Elshtain held, we cannot know ourselves. And if we get ourselves—that is, human beings—wrong, we will get our politics wrong as well.
Jean Bethke Elshtain died before she had written all she wanted to say. Among other things, she had planned to write a book on ethics and film, a lifelong passion. No doubt her death will spur some to revisit her work, and we may see posthumous publications. But by any measure, Elshtain left a formidable and challenging legacy in a body of work that embraced nearly every dimension of human life, including the religious. However unusual a scholar, she is unlikely to be quickly forgotten.

Members of the San Diego County Chapter of the Red Cross will be heading to the disaster zone in Joplin to help with what some people have described as a battlefield after Sunday's twister.
The Midwest is still taking a pounding from severe weather. Storms in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas have killed at least 15 people, and the death toll continues to rise from the tornado in Joplin, which killed at least 125.
More than 230 people remain unaccounted for four days after the deadliest single tornado in more than six decades tore through the middle of Joplin officials said Thursday.
On Wednesday afternoon, local disaster worker Amy Hegy got word she'd be traveling to help victims in Missouri.
She grabbed her "go kit" and started packing to make sure she has all the supplies she will need to handle any situation she may face.
This won't be her first time responding to a devastating tornado.
"It's a hard thing to prepare for," she said. "It's simply a difficult thing to see."
" My main job is going to be make sure everyone knows where they can get shelter, food, cleanup kits and what they need," she said. "That's my priority."
The more she stays focused, the more she says she can help.
In Joplin, hundreds are living in shelters, and their stay has been interrupted by additional tornado warnings.
Nearly 350 people are being housed at the Red Cross shelter at Missouri Southern State University. The two workers are going to help at the shelters and travel through ravaged neighborhoods distributing cleanup supplies, water and hot meals.
To donate to the American Red Cross:
Visit www.redcross.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS; people can also text the word "REDCROSS" to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Contributions may also be sent to local American Red Cross chapters or to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.

I've been posting about what's been going on in several groups, so I figure it will be easier for me to simply update a journal, and easier to refer to if I need to, or want to in the future. I'm just going to copy and paste from my facebook :)
6/8 Been a while- but I'm still pregnant! That much is good, but I'm also still having contractions all the time, and I'm beyond miserable. I'm 32 weeks now, and out of the scary zone, so the contractions are just frustrating and I'm ready for this to be OVER. I'm really starting to worry about finances, I can't wait to get back to work and be bringing in some money. Being out of work and school has really killed the plan I had for a snug little nest egg by the time my husband returned from his deployment. But at least the baby is growing well, and I know it will all be worth it once I hold her in my arms. The Dr says at 35 weeks I can stop worrying about going into labor and stop taking the meds. At 36 weeks I plan on actually getting more active and walking a bit, cleaning alot more, stuff like that. If nothing has happened by 37 weeks and I'm still contracting and in pain all the time I will start the "natural" methods of induction- primrose suppositories, RRL tea, orgasms, walking & squatting, nipple stimulation, ect as the week goes by and see if I can't get things rolling. I'm so glad this is coming to an end- I thought I hated pregnancy after my 1st one, but this has been literal torture.I can't wait to be done complaining- I'm so sick of feeling down and miserable and in pain all the time!
3/14 Sooo....shits not much better. Seemed like it was improving there for a while, but I ended up back in the hospital on Fri due to contractions for 14 hours....NO FUN! They gave me a shot to stop them and I have a scrp I can take at home as needed. Hopefully things will clam down, all this excitement is TOO much.
2/21/10: Yea- as great as everything looked to the Dr I ended up in the ER the next night with contractions that were 5 or less mins apart and lasting up to a 1:15secs long. For those of you who haven't popped out a kid- that means LABOR. They gave me a couple of pills that helped a bit and sent me home, and I continue to have contractions, randomly but intermittent if I'm sitting or laying, and constantly if I'm up and attempting to move from one location to the other...say- my bed room all the way to the living room or something crazy like that. Do you hear sarcasm? Ah, yes, that would be because it's THERE and I'm getting extremely frustrated with the lack of answers as to what is going on inside my body, and why it won't stop. I'm pretty nervous as to how this is going to work out, and would happily (ok, not happily, but better than I am now) accept what is going on with me if I knew everything was going to turn out ok. All that we can really do now is wait and see, and pray. Hopefully I won't have anything to update before my next appointment, except maybe the contractions have stopped. That would be nice.
Update 2/15/10: IT'S A GIRL!!! Ok, now that I have announced that to all the people I can via facebook, text message, and telephone calls, I can update on what's going on :)
I had an appointment with the specialist today where they did another in-depth, very detailed ultrasound. This time around after seeing that the baby is doing well (weighs 6oz, evidently this is a good thing, and baby is right on track for development) they saw an area of fluid (blood) that has built up between the uterus and the amniotic sac. It wasn't separated by a large amount, but was quite a bit long. The Dr said that it was clotting up, which meant that it was healing- obviously a good thing. Hopefully my body will re-absorb all the stuffs or kick it out of there, and when I go back in a month they will tell me I can resume my normal activities. Either way things seem to be going well, and our soon-to-be beautiful baby girl is growing quite well :)
I ended up the the emergency room Tuesday afternoon at around 4:30pm. I hadn't been feeling well most of the day, but shrugged it off, and at about 4pm stated having serious issues related to the pregnancy- I honestly thought it was over. I had my amazing friend and supporter rush me to Northside ER, where they immediately saw me. The Doc found the baby's heartbeat (much to my shock and relief) and checked a couple other things, then sent me home on strict bed rest till I saw my dr the next day.
On Wed my dr explained that it could be a couple of different things, but there was no way to know for sure until I had a detailed ultrasound, hopefully something would show up on there. I had one scheduled for today. She said it is classified as a "threatened miscarriage" which means the possibility for miscarriage is there until things are resolved.
The Dr I saw today looked and showed me an amazingly squirmy, healthy baby, and saw an area on my uterus that looked "irritated" (whatever the hell that means) and would explain the issues I was/am having. He sent me off with a future exam scheduled for the 15th (when we find out a boy or girl!) and the amazing pics I posted earlier. He also said I am to be on extremely limited activity, "houserest" until I have 2 full weeks with no issues. I withdrew from all classes except my online English and am out of work pretty much until further notice.
So- expect much facebook stalking and random crap posted from me, I will now be home almost 24/7 and bored off my ass. I will update when I have info, hopefully things will be very uneventful until I go back to the Dr. Thanks for reading all this!

Tips on an Productive Home Office
Tips For Creating an Organized, Eco-Friendly Home Office
These days, many of us are working at least part of the time from home. However, most people who work from home don't take the time to properly prepare their working space. Whether you have an entire room for your home office, or simply a corner of a living room or bedroom, there are plenty of ways you can improve your workspace.
- Unplug. Turn off phones, blinking lights, televisions, radio talk shows, and other distracting devices. Not only do they cut down on your productivity, they also add to your power bill.
- Open the curtains. Letting in a little sunshine allows you to keep your lights switched off. This lowers your power bill and allows you to soak in some positive energy, since natural sunlight is linked to better moods.
Want even more ideas on creating a productive, serene, and eco-friendly home office? Head over to Treehugger for all eight tips!

LUBBOCK, Texas, June 4 (UPI) -- Newly elected West Texas Congressman Randy Neugebauer packed his bags Wednesday for Washington.
Neugebauer defeated Mike Conaway in Tuesday's runoff between two Republicans to succeed retiring Rep. Larry Combest. Neugebauer won by a slim 1.2 percent but Conaway said he would not seek a recount.
"It's very humbling to have come out on top," said Neugebauer, who plans to leave Wednesday or Thursday for his new career in Washington.
Combest's retirement, announced a few days after the Republican easily won re-election last November, was a shocker for District 19 where he had served since 1985. The chairman of the House Agriculture Committee said he wanted more time with his family.
Gov. Rick Perry called a special election and 17 candidates entered the race. Neugebauer and Conaway received the most votes and went on to the runoff race to determine Combest's successor.
Neugebauer, 53, will take over Combest's seats on the agriculture and small business committees and complete Combest's term, which expires at the end of 2004. Neugebauer has not decided if he will run for a full, two-year term next year.

Bomb suspect gets relocated
By EILEEN SULLIVAN
Associated Press
BOSTON — Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhohkar Tsarnaev was moved from a hospital to a federal prison medical center, while FBI agents searched for evidence Friday in a landfill near the college he was attending.
Tsarnaev, 19, was taken from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he was recovering from a gunshot wound to the throat and other injuries suffered during a getaway attempt, and transferred to the Federal Medical Center Devens, about 40 miles from Boston, the U.S. Marshals Service said. The facility at a former Army base treats federal prisoners.
Also, FBI agents picked through a landfill near the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where Tsarnaev was a sophomore. FBI spokesman Jim Martin would not say what investigators were looking for.
An aerial photo in Friday's Boston Globe showed a line of more than 20 investigators picking over the garbage with shovels or rakes.
U.S. officials, meanwhile, said that the bombing suspects' mother had been added to a federal terrorism database about 18 months before the deadly attack — a disclosure that deepens the mystery around the Tsarnaev family and marks the first time American authorities have acknowledged that Zubeidat Tsarnaeva was under investigation before the tragedy.
The news is certain to fuel questions about whether the Obama administration missed opportunities to thwart the April 15 bombing that killed three people and wounded more than 260.
Tsarnaev is charged with joining with his older brother, now dead, in setting off the shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs. The brothers are ethnic Chechens from Russia who came to the United States about a decade ago with their parents. Investigators have said it appears that the brothers were angry about the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Two government officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation, said the CIA had Zubeidat Tsarnaeva's name added to the terror database along with that of her son Tamerlan Tsarnaev after Russia contacted the agency in 2011 with concerns that the two were religious militants.
About six months earlier, the FBI investigated mother and son, also at Russia's request, one of the officials said. The FBI found no ties to terrorism. Previously U.S. officials had said only that the FBI investigated Tamerlan.
In an interview from Russia, Tsarnaeva said Friday that she has never been linked to terrorism.
"It's all lies and hypocrisy," she told The Associated Press from Dagestan. "I'm sick and tired of all this nonsense that they make up about me and my children. People know me as a regular person, and I've never been mixed up in any criminal intentions, especially any linked to terrorism."
Tsarnaeva faces shoplifting charges in the U.S. over the alleged theft of more than $1,624 worth of women's clothing from a Lord & Taylor department store in Natick, Mass., in 2012.
Earlier this week, she said she has been assured by lawyers that she would not be arrested if she traveled to the U.S., but she said she was still deciding whether to go. The suspects' father, Anzor Tsarnaev, said that he would leave Russia soon for the United States to visit one son and lay the other to rest.
A team of investigators from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow has questioned both parents in Russia this week, spending many hours with the mother in particular over two days.
Meanwhile, New York's police commissioner said the FBI was too slow to inform the city that the Boston Marathon suspects had been planning to bomb Times Square days after the attack at the race.
Federal investigators learned about the short-lived scheme from a hospitalized Dzhokhar Tsarnaev during a bedside interrogation that began Sunday night and extended into Monday morning, officials said. The information didn't reach the New York Police Department until Wednesday night.
"We did express our concerns over the lag," Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. Kelly and Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the findings on Thursday.
The FBI had no comment Friday.
Eileen Sullivan reported from Washington. Associated Press writers Colleen Long in New York and Julie Pace in Washington contributed to this story.

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month
Summer is right around the corner so it's no surprise that May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. The focus of the campaign is to highlight prevention, early detection, and treatment of skin cancer. In the US, each year, two million people are diagnosed with nonmelanoma skin cancers (mostly basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas). These cancers, while highly treatable, can lead to disfigurement when left untreated. The most deadly form of skin cancer is Malignant melanoma with 57,000 diagnosed and 9000 deaths from the disease in 2008. This figure continues to rise.
RePin to Stop Skin Cancer
Each year, a blogger I try to post about the Skin Cancer Awareness cause in May. As Blog readers and Bloggers, I am asking you to do your part to Stop Skin Cancer. You can protect yourself by avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun and staying out of tanning beds. When you must be in the sun, cover up, wear and reapply sunscreen, and don't forget your hat. You can help protect others by Repinning (to Pinterest) any or ALL of the following Skin Cancer Quotes to increase awareness as we roll into the summer months.
If you need a Pinterest invite just leave your email in the comments below. We'll get you one right away. If you are a blogger and would like me to design a Skin Cancer Awareness Pin/Quote for your blog, just send me the quote and I will gladly put you one together so you can increase awareness from your blog!!
Now give this post a Thumbs up on Stumble Upon, so that people all over the internet can get this important message!

With every stitch, Mary Ann Upton remembers. Five years ago, she watched her newborn grandson fight for his life. He was born with a heart defect that lead to open heart surgery when he was only three days old. In the midst of all the worry and pain, the local chapter of Project Linus brought the baby a blanket.
"It's put up now," said the grandmother of five. "One day, maybe he'll take it out and tell the story to his children. It really meant a lot. Hospitals can be so cold and impersonal. What Project Linus did was so good."
A Healing Prayer service will be held March 4 t 3 p.m. at Helena United Methodist Church, 6481 Helena Rd, Rte. 324 off Hwy 11, Mays Lick, Ky.

If I were God, I would've made people with delay devices on their mouths or a filter of some kind.
For example, when your brain wants to say, "Poodles aren't real dogs," before it comes out of your mouth the delay device would kick in and send you a message: "Really? Is that really what you want to say in front of this group of people who may or may not include poodle owners?"

Students on Harrison County school bus No. 202 had quite a scare Tuesday afternoon when their bus was rear-ended on U.S. 27 South about 4:30 p.m.
None of the 15 students on board were injured. They were transferred to another bus to complete the route.
Information regarding the driver of a truck that hit the bus in the rear is not available at this time. However, a passenger was transported by Brown Ambulance Service to Harrison Memorial Hospital.
On Friday afternoon, the Kentucky Supreme Court affirmed the Franklin Circuit Court's order that state legislative races for the 2012 election cycle shall be conducted pursuant to the boundaries that were in effect immediately prior to the enactment of House Bill 1. The Court reiterated that the filing deadline for candidates for state Senator and state Representative was Feb. 10, 2012.
A Harrison County woman was caught following her escape from Harrison County Circuit Court Tuesday after being sentenced to five years in jail.
Tara Fryman, 29, was taken into custody Wednesday and served a second degree escape charge for running from police after being sentenced.
According to Det. Paul Olin, once Fryman was in custody she ran from officials a second time by "slipping her cuffs," while being processed at the sheriff's department and ran toward the Justice Center.
The headline should have said "Did they know Little?" referring to Harrison County senior Emalee Little. The 5-foot-4-inch small forward hit five three pointers en route to a game and career high 21 points in the Fillies 56-49 win.
The win avenged a regular season loss to the Lady Cats in which neither Little nor sophomore center Jordan Doram played.
"We played good enough defensively to win," commented Coach Mike Reitz following the 36-33 loss to Pendleton County Monday night. "The shots just would not fall."
Harrison County made only 27 percent from the field Monday in the opening round of the 38th District Tournament, which was made worse by the fact that they were one for 17 for six percent from the three-point line.
A few of the shots were forced, but the vast majority were attempts that, on most other occasions, went into the basket.
Not on this night.

Wyoming voters resoundingly passed Wyoming Constitutional Amendment A at the polls yesterday, essentially setting up a state statutes that directly conflict with the federal Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. State legislator, Ogden Driskill, serves in the state Senate District 1, which comprises areas within Crook, Weston, Converse and Goshen Counties, and sponsored Amendment A's introduction to the state legislature. He said the amendment is about more than just making a statement against the Affordable Care act.
However, with language in the amendment that expressly provides for no mandate to buy individual insurance, Wyoming's newest law is setting the stage for interesting legal play. With state and federal law in direct conflict, it's inevitable that someone will end up in court.
Driskill said Amendment A represents a combination of several different bills that were brought before the state legislature. Similar initiatives in opposition to Obamacare were introduced in twenty states across the nation.

When Romulus and Remus were destroyed by the Hobus supernova the Romulan Star Empire was devastated. However many took it as an opportunity to escape the yolk of the Tal'Shiar, the oppressive secret police of the empire. These Romulan citizens along with their Reman brothers founded a new homeworld and established the Romulan Republic so that both Romulan and Reman could live free.

text: Can anyone help? I'm an utter noob when it comes to engine internals. I have been told that I may need a new turbo in the not too distant future, so that may as well be a hybrid or maybe big turbo. Now I understand that the con rods are like toffee, so I was thinking of having them done. I have an Audi/VW mechanic that does cash work, and he has suggested these bits: Connecting rods Head gasket Head bolts Big end bearings (check and replace if needed) Crank (check and replace if needed) Is there anything else to think about? Its an AMK lump with 80k on it. Cheers!

I have to agree with Bethany. During sex, I can not tell the difference. Do large Testicles generate more semen?However, I must admit the I do love the view of a man with a nice Penis and full heavy Testicles.Yes, I do check at every opportunity.
any chance to go without a bra and have my nipples feel good is a double plus for me You said it Terry! But I thought that was understood.
If I am just with a single man I really prefer to have him ejaculate in me. How could anything be more intimate? But some guys want to come on you and that is fine, but it is for him not so much me.Now if there is a good number of guys I love a good Bukkake session. What can make you feel more used than that?
My preference is red like this http://y2.pichunter.com/2621008_9_o.jpg Though there is definitely something to be said for both black and white :) https://fullsexywallpaper.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/lisasnowdon9151327lb.jpg http://www.fugitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/transparent_lingerie_models-30-770x1155.jpg With those shoes Lingerie does not matter!!!!!!!!!!!1111
Here's how this is supposed to go: Guy: Hey (Wink) What colour panties are you wearing?Girl: I forgot, let me check. (Secretively, looks down her pants). They're purple.Guy: Purple! No way! I don't believe you.Girl: They are. I just checked. Guy: I think you're lying. You better show me.Girl: (Shyly pulls the waist of her pants down just a little) See?Guy: No, I can't see. Show me more. Unbutton your pants.Girl: I shouldn't, I mean I barely know you.Guy: Come on.Girl: Okay. (Unbuttons, and slides pants down, clearly showing her sexy bikini, ass, thighs, etc.)Guy: Hmm. I guess you were right. Those are some nice panties. Very sexy.Girl: You think so?Guy: Yeah. They kind of turned me on a bit.Girl: Really?Guy: Mhm. Admit it, you felt a little naughty showing me your panties, too.Girl: Well... maybe...Guy: Showing your panties to a guy you barely know. You're a bad girl aren't you?Girl: (flirtatiously biting a finger) I can be a bad girl sometimes.Guy: I bet. Show me how bad you can be.Girl: Okay, I can't take it anymore. I'm too turned on now. Let me suck your cock!This never actually works out this way in real life, but in a chat forum, it's actually kind of dumb. There's nothing very interesting about women naming a bunch of colours: Red, Blue, Green, Black, Blue, Pink, White, and the more adventurous "I'm not wearing any." Guy I hate Purple, but maybe I should get some,and test the result. Now what is my reward if I have nothing on after I unbutton my Levi's?
Now do you mean at one time, I think there is a limit or do you mean in one session.You know the numbers will have to be different.
I seems I want sex just about all the time. Just like Double DD'sI think we are the normal ones, the rest of you may be a bit strange.
I have always thought that every minute of every day was just the perfect time. Now are you guys telling me I have been wrong all these years?
All I can tell you is he would not be my Sex Partner for a second time.
I think I will pass on a Sissy Man.
I was not very through in my first response, so I will try again.Yes, I have had sex with multiple men a few times. I loved it then and I know I would love it again.Some Sex or Swings Clubs will offer a girl to be the girl of the night. Which in my experience means she is expected to take on all cummers. As soon as one guy has ejaculated, there is another to take his place. One place I know hires fluffers to be sure the men are ready when she needs the next guy. There have been breaks so the girl could have some rest and clean up a little. Sometimes it will turn into a Cum Bath for her.I know of groups of guys who have invited a girl to a Gangbang. Most decline but some girls think it is the best sex there is. It could be 6,8 or 10 guys and I have heard of even more. She could be doing 3 or 4 at any one time. Since she has no protection at an event like this. She needs protection from one or more non-participants.You asked if she is treated with respect That is a subject that will never come up and is very unlikely to in the future. This is just about Hot Rough Sex, based on Lust and Desire.Have I done this in the past? Would I do this again in the future?I think you all know the answer to that question,
Please be recently showed and cleanPlus if you have not shaved I will do it for you. If you are like my guy he has been lasered so there is never a problem.Of course I love to suck cock and have my mouth filled with nice sweet Semen.
I have had both my nipples and clit hood done. But then decided that it was not for me. So now no.No I am not Submissive, unless you want me to play that role tonight.
I used to see a guy a few times a year and we would always go to what he called a private nude beach. To me it was not very private.One day when we were there he had me get on my hands and knees and reach in his bag and pulled out a tube of Lube. After he lubricate my ass he pulled out a large Butt Plug out with an imitation stone and pushed it into my Anus. I love the feeling, but when he insisted I walk down the beach with the Plug in my ass, I was not so sure. Later he got a Vibrating Remote Control Version and followed me down the beach constantly adjusting the intensity. Each Orgasm seemed stronger than the previous one. Have you ever tried to walk in soft sand while at the peak of a series of Orgasms. Not so easy while keeping from collapsing.
I read it maybe once a week to see what the men and thinking and talking about.
Pretty Sure I do not qualify as a guy, but here is my experience.My guy has brought guys I never have met before to Fuck Me. I know he has watched, but, I do not think it was ever on his Bucket List.He wants me to be happy and he also knows how I love to do several guys at the same time.Sorry for the intrusion I know I do not have any right to comment in the category.
Kids, sex is not that complicated, but we seem to make one of the most basic experiences of life much more complex than is necessary.Sure I have been with people who did not satisfy me at first. But with good communication, every sexual relationship can provide a level of satisfaction.Some people will not listen and that does not apply only to men, it is not a non-exclusive club. If we will not listen to our partners there are not many positive places to visit. So yes I have dumped a few people
I do get horny and that could be very horny too. But I do not remember ever getting out of control.Having said that I must I must admit there have been times I have said yes to a guy that would not normally meet my protocol. Sometimes you get surprised.
Then too, I have also turned a number of tricks. I know every woman alive or man in some cases has turned tricks. Some of us were paid in cash, other in gifts and some with a weeks vacation to the Caribbean.
Ever since my asshole father told me that girls who did the kinds of things he'd heard I did were 'sluts', I haven't let anyone berate me with words like this. If I'm a slut, I'm proud of it!I have 2 experiences that pretty much everyone agrees were pretty 'slutty': I was the only girl snowed-in with 6 guys in the blizzard that hit Ohio in March of 2008. I spent the whole night fucking every one of them.and...3 of the guys who do maintenance for our company agreed to remodel the kitchen in one of my rentals. After they were done, they offered to not charge me for all their work if I would fuck all 3 of them. It worked out to $900 and some per guy. My only experiment in 'prostitution'. Your first paragraph says it better than I did and says it just about the way it should be.The latter two paragraphs seem to me to just about the way it should be for a young woman of the Twenty-First Century,
What is slutty anyway? I don't like the term. It's a mans word. Why do women who like sex have their behaviour branded slutty? I fuck a lot. Does that make me a slut? Come on Luvitall we know what we are. I never understand why you get upset about the label, that is just what it is, a label and labels do not make us better or worse people.Hope I did not write something like this earlier.
I should have said earlier, that just about anything he/she wants. But be sure to expect me to fight back.Rough sex is great fun, but I better not go home with marks or bruises.
M & A Consultant
I know I was 25 years younger years ago. And he really knew how to treat a woman.Then of course, later I was at least 25 years older. I hope he thought I was great too. But he did return a number of times. What does that mean?
Sex was varied with many in my 20's and seem to get better almost yearly.Now that I can see 50 arriving in a couple of years, I hope it stays as good as it is right now.For me the real difference between now and all those years ago. When it did not go as I wanted in the early days, I just crossed the person off my list of partners. Today I try to show my partner just what I need and how to best achieve it.
Living in a Beach Town I rarely wear hose of any kind.But if you found me in San Francisco or New York, I certainly would be wearing some type of hose.I do have some Gentlemen Friends that not only like hose and garter belts, but panties and bra too. If you saw with one of these men I would have the whole thing on.
I have worn several of the Vibrators you suggest and they all have been fun in one way or another. Venus Butterfly is one I like the best but ones that insert in a pocket in you panties are fun, so are anal vibrators and any number of items that may be inserted in the Vagina.Robb like to have control of the vibe, it could be a dinner with others, or it could be at a jewelry store or even at a serious lecture.Fun is guaranteed.
I love heels and my husband says I must have 500 pairs. I am sure that in an exaggeration, but I do have a few. It is hard to throw out old friends who have done such good work.I come in the extra tall version so I limit my heal height to 4".At 5'11" and six inch heels I would never get laid.
If I revealed that, then it wouldn't be a secret. Yeah, I wondered who would be first to bring that to the Lushies attention.

Southern Alamance Middle School and Graham Middle School are prepared to host the third annual ALS Baseball Showcase with proceeds raised from the event going toward the ALS Association Jim �Catfish� Hunter Chapter.
Seven middle schools� baseball teams in the Alamance-Burlington School System will compete beginning Monday with games scheduled to start at 4:15 p.m. at Southern Middle School. Games will be played at the same time at Southern Middle School on Tuesday and Wednesday. The semifinal and championship games will be played May 22 and May 23 at Graham Middle School, also beginning at 4:15 p.m.
Southern Middle School students, including McNeil Johnston, 13, put the finishing touches this week on posters that will be displayed in the school highlighting the event. Johnston is a member of ALS Kids Staff, which was formed during the 2010-11 school year by students in Southern Middle School teacher Andrea Rumley�s class. Rumley teaches sixth-grade language arts and social studies.
ALS Kids Staff started with eight students and has increased to 55 student members this school year. Faith Patterson and Haley Taylor were among the original members of ALS Kids Staff and continue to show their support for the group even while they are in high school. Patterson attends Southern Alamance High School, while Taylor is in home school. Both are in ninth grade.
The group was formed to show support for Rumley, whose uncle Tony Solazzo was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig�s disease.
�Rumley is the whole reason why we did this,� Patterson said.
ALS Kids Staff has since widened its mission to raise awareness of the disease and raise money for ALS research purposes. Last year�s ALS Baseball Showdown raised $4,300. The fundraising goal for this year�s event is $5,000.
Students at Southern Middle School are working to raise money through raffles and selling T-shirts for the event. Admission to the baseball games is $5 per person for each game.
Southern Middle School student Adam Durham, 13, competed in the ALS Baseball Showdown last year and looks forward to competing again this year. Western Alamance Middle School�s baseball team will attempt to defend its 2013 ALS Baseball Showdown championship title.
Several students in ALS Kids Staff have family and friends who have been diagnosed with ALS. Southern Middle School student Emma Pickard, 13, said her great aunt died from ALS last year. Johnston said a family friend had been diagnosed with ALS and later died. Johnston said she got involved in organizing the ALS Baseball Showdown to make a difference in her community.
Rumley said Thursday the community�s response in recent years to the ALS Baseball Showdown has been inspiring. Rumley said she was also proud of her students and the work they continue through ALS Kids Staff.

Nobby's – Chico, CA.
1444 Park Ave
Chico, CA 95928
(530) 342-2285
Tues-Sat 10:30am – 9pm
I've heard great reviews about the Nobby's located at 144 park ave Chico; some saying the best burgers in town.
When entering Nobby's, you get the feel you just stepped into a custom garage, they're even equipped with a 15 inch TV sitting on top on the freezer. Nobby's is a small place, maybe six tables inside and a few tables outside.
After being greeted with a friendly hello and a nice smile by a young lady behind the counter, Along with a short look up at the menu, i went with the Nobby Burger and a small order of fries. My friend went with the same. I almost went with a couple slices of bacon. (Next time maybe).
I suggest showing up a little before noon. We arrived at about a quarter till noon and by 12:10 the place was filled up.
Within a short time we were staring at a huge basket of small fries accompanied by our nobby burgers covered with cheese. You better have both hands free because it's going to take both of them to hold on to this giant sized burger.
This was the first time I've seen a cheeseburger with crispy cheese that skirts over the edges, a bit different but i was anxious to try this unique burger.
Along with a fresh soft bun, pickles, onions, lettuce and tomato, this burger was served hot right off the grill. My first thought after taking a bite was to say delicious, instead i just kept on eating.
My friend finally broke the silence after about 5 minutes and said "maybe next time we'll split a small fry". That statement was par for the course. Good prices for the amount of food you get.
A Great tasting burger along with perfectly browned crispy fries was my thought after leaving Nobby's.
If you're near park ave in Chico check this burger joint out!
(I hope you found this review useful)

Chinese Social Networks 'Virtually' Out-Earn Facebook And MySpace: A Market Analysis
Tech Crunch reports on the business models of Chinese social networking sites, and why they are surpassing their American counterparts:
Despite China's massively growing internet market, international giants like Google and Facebook are having trouble making gains with the 300 million Chinese online users. China's netizens are on average very young – 66.7 % of them are younger than 29 years old and 35.2 % of them are teenagers—with social networking and entertainment applications being the most popular.
While companies like Facebook struggle to conquer market share in China and to create viable business models everywhere, their Chinese clones have built lucrative cash machines literally earning billions of dollars a year. Unfortunately, adopting Chinese methods may not help American social networks due both to cultural differences in Chinese user behavior and industry practices. Below is our analysis of the Chinese social networking scene.


text: Hi folks, I'm trying to make a simple event driven engine. It simply consists of two functions: - "addEvent", where you pass the event name with a callback, - "triggerEvent" where you pass the event name with the data. the data shall be passed to the callback of the corresponding event. I have trouble making it correctly typed. Here is my try: * type Player = Int --dummy types for the example type Rule = Int data EventEnum = NewPlayer | NewRule deriving Eq data Data = P Player | R Rule data Handler = H (Data -> IO ()) addEvent :: EventEnum -> Handler -> [(EventEnum, Handler)] -> [(EventEnum, Handler)] addEvent e h es = (e,h):es triggerEvent :: EventEnum -> Data -> [(EventEnum, Handler)] -> IO () triggerEvent e d es = do let r = lookup e es case r of Nothing -> return () Just (H h) -> h d* The trouble is that I want the user to be only able to add an event that is compatible with its handler: For example the event NewPlayer should have a handler of type Player -> IO (). The data passed when triggering this event should be only of type Player. How can I do that? It sound like dependant typing... Thanks!

Taxpayers fund video game that teaches girls how not to score
Ever wish there were a video game where the point is to score as little as possible? If so, well, the Obama administration just may have several hundred thousand dollars for you.
The University of Central Florida (UCF) is one such beneficiary, with a weird idea for a game and a fresh wad of taxpayer cash to drive its creation.
Yes, thanks to the National Institutes of Health, which awarded UCF $434,800 to continue this project, a small number of teen girls will soon get to wear spandex suits and ping-pong balls all over their bodies while pretending they're telling boys to leave them alone.
The project's stated goal is to reduce pregnancy rates and sexually transmitted disease among the Latina community … Through video games, apparently.
"By donning a motion-capture suit, the players get to act out social scenarios that will then play out on the screen, earning points every time they turn down sexual advances," explains Robin Marty at Reproductive Health Reality Check.
The technological premise of controlling the game by body movement sounds remarkably close to features supposedly possible on Microsoft's upcoming "Kinect" device, which does not require a motion-capture suit and will debut later this year for $149.99 at retail. By contrast, the Nintendo Wii has been motion control capable for years. The console retails with a controller and two sports-themed games for just $149.99.
Along side UCF's institute for simulation and training, Professor Anne Norris is creating a virtual game which works by using simulation and digital puppetry. It sounds complicated, but it's simple technology.
"What's radically different about this one one person controls many characters by jumping into the skin, " said Charles Hughes, UCF Computer Science professor.
"A boy similar in age might approach the person playing the game and ask her to make out or there might be some sexual innuendo," said Norris.
A test group of Latina females will be studied periodically during the two-year project, with researchers hoping to measure any potential impact the behavioral simulations have on their lives. Professor Norris told The Orlando Business Journal that if it works, she'll develop a game for boys.
"Essentially, the video game is an elaborate version of the Tamagotchi, only, rather than a small electronic pet you feed and watch grow bigger, the pet is young girls, and you 'win' by telling them not to kiss boys," Marty continued. "Yet for the same amount of money, Florida could hire ten educators to canvas the state, providing one-on-one counseling with teens struggling with the decision of whether or not to have sex. Those counselors could help protect those already having sex or who later choose to have sex by teaching them about prevention of sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy, self-esteem and sexual negotiation, rather than just have them 'score' every time they refuse to kiss a boy."
Federal funding for the program seems like it doesn't quite fit with the Obama administration's committment to eliminate funds for abstinence-based sex education, which has been repeatedly shown to be ineffective at reducing STD infection rates and pregnancies.
The Bush administration, led primarily by religious organizations that condemn most sexual activities, spent hundreds of millions of dollars on programs that withhold vital information on safe sex practices. While many children affected by abstinence-education did abstain from sex for a time, pregnancy and STD rates stayed the same, but many of the abstinence students became less likely to use contraceptives or seek out reproductive health services.
"A January 2007 study […] found that almost all Americans initiate sexual intercourse before marriage," Colombia University Doctor John S Santelli noted in a 2007 letter to top Democrats in Congress. "In fact by age 44, virtually everyone has experienced sexual intercourse but only 3% have remained abstinent until marriage."
As a candidate, Obama pledged to end that spending and instead recommit funds to efforts aimed at reducing teen pregnancy. He followed through on that promise with the fiscal year 2010 budget, which pulled funding from Bush's abstinence programs.
The State of Florida's official position on sex education is that only abstinence should be taught in public schools.

Photographer's Note
Balic Winery and Vineyard is established 50 years ago by Savo Balic, now owned and run by his nefew Bojan Boskovic, not related to me. We spent an hour or more on a private tour, testing vine, listening about winery's history, taking photos, etc.Highly recommend Bojan's wine, some of them are traditional old world style, but also many of them are with natural fruit flavor, for example Pomegranates were imported from Armenia because they are of the best quality and have necessary tardiness that US grown pomegranates do not have.

Crudo on a Thursday: out of the foie gras, but not the sea bass
Look beyond the pisco sour and gin fizz
Barbarella Fokos 9:30 a.m., Nov. 19
(Page 2 of 2)
"The definition of work changes, and young people's prospects for work change as well. The very materiality of work -- from putting cars together to pushing paper to creating and transferring electronic files on a computer -- also changes. Even though parents are living in the same world as their kids, they're just not seeing it the same way, obviously. And, the kids are looking at another set of trajectories. Kids are trying to figure out what's going to happen, but their fears and their possibilities are not exactly those their parents had at the same age."
"Flippancy about work, on the part of the nonworking, seems to be especially aggravating."
"There are always multiple audiences for any cultural product. Some have always found the wit of the lounger or the slacker or the loafer infuriating. Some, of course, have found it hilarious. To find it funny doesn't necessarily mean you agree with the attitude, though.
"In my book, I focus on people who have a specific anti-work agenda, either in their self-presentation or in their writing. It's very rare to find a wealthy person who pooh-poohs work, because it's obviously in bad taste. If you have no money and you're making fun of work, at least you clearly have some kind of courage of conviction."
I tell Mr. Lutz what I heard on the radio, before we met, about Charles Dickens. "He seems to view work from both perspectives, doesn't he?"
"Dickens loves the artful dodger and he despises piety. It's very hard to be a champion for the work ethic without sounding pious."
"On the other hand, the reward for doing 'good' is to retire to a life of ease and plenty."
"In my other life, aside from being a social historian, I write academic pieces on literature. Over the past ten years or so, it's become clear to me that the thing that makes literature 'Literature' is a text that is complicated and that never comes down on one side or another on these complicated cultural issues. Dickens is great, because he simultaneously describes and undercuts opposing attitudes toward work.
"In a way, that's what I try to do in my own books. I give all sides of the picture, but I'm not all that interested in the moral of the story, or of scolding or championing one side or the other."
"Are some readers frustrated by the lack of a stance?"
"Some reviewers are frustrated. They can't figure out where I stand. Others love the compendious nature of that kind of examination."
Looking out the hotel lobby window we see, on the sidewalk across the street, a disheveled man begging for change.
"I was talking to a panhandler outside the bookstore where I read last night in Portland. I asked him how it was going, and he kept his hand out, hitting people up as we were talking. I asked if he was doing all right being on the streets there. He told me he made enough money to rent a couch and kitchen privileges in a house, so he was doing okay. Then he said, "Well, actually it's a love seat, not a couch. But I'm doing fine." His assessment of his career at that time was that it wasn't that bad."
I commented to Mr. Lutz that the homeless seem increasingly more visible in Seattle.
"There's a certain progressive political consensus that means that the homeless are treated better here than in many places. In Portland and Seattle the homeless are more visible because they aren't chased out of every square inch of the city. That's true in Santa Monica, for instance, as opposed to the rest of L.A. Most cities don't have a homeless problem because the police pick them up and drive them someplace else and drop them off.
"We know that the majority of people who are on the street have serious mental illness. We know that the small government movement has made these people's lives hell. Other countries in the world have solved this problem without our per capita income. We could at least be giving them the option of someplace to live. It's a travesty of a sham of a mockery of a horrible thing. It's just terrible."
"What is it about media images of slackers and workers that interests you?"
"When you think about a figure like Chaplin's Little Tramp, he's portraying a person who is homeless. But, the Little Tramp is not a real tramp. I'm interested in these 'slacker' figures that get produced by our writers and comedians and filmmakers and cartoonists. Dagwood asleep at his desk, for example. I'm interested in the function these characters serve. They're very different than anyone's actual life situation, yet eventually those figures do offer people models for identity.
"In my own life, I became Jack Kerouac before I ever read him. It just kind of trickled down as an image, probably from crappy TV shows like Route 66 or something. I got this watered-down silly version of it from the sources I was imbibing, and I became it. I had a self-image that was constructed out of these available, cultural materials. I'm interested in how lives are shaped by these phantasmic images."
Mr. Lutz explains that our notion of what it means to be a hard worker is also a construct of available cultural images. "We get an idea of what it means to be hard working, and then we shame each other into doing our part of the work."
"Deciding what to read from a piece of nonfiction, at a public event, must be very challenging. How do you go about it?"
"It's difficult, because I feel like the book works cumulatively. So, when I read, I don't read straight from the book. I rearrange sentences and explain things as I go along. Essentially, I rework it as an oral document.
"It was clear to me as soon as I started doing interviews about the book that some people thought I was making fun of slackers. I wanted to disprove that, so I read from the section about my own hippie years. Other times I've read the beginning about my surprising anger at my own son's months on the couch when he moved in with me. Tonight, I was thinking of doing a bit from the ending. I haven't decided yet.
"I have this reputation, among my peers, for being incredibly productive, but it's not true. I waste so much time. It's astounding. It's criminal. I am like these people I talk about."
