text: My boyfriend and I arrived at the trailhead late in the afternoon. We were going to run the woodland trails that wound through the state park. Since he was an elite distance runner, he opted for a nine mile course that had some challenging hills. I was a recreational jogger, so I was going to do a 10K course. We figured on finishing our runs at about the same time and would meet at the trailhead when we were through. The run started out well. I enjoyed running through the woods. The isolation was nice, and there was plenty of wildlife out and about. After a couple miles, it started getting hot, so I took off my sweat shirt. I was wearing a red sports bra and low cut black spandex shorts, and the breeze felt good on my skin. As the trail began to wind its way up a small hill, I came around a cutback and there in front of me was a shirtless man facing a tree while relieving himself. He was a tall lean black man, dressed in camouflage trousers and boots.. He turned slightly when he heard me approach, and I got a glimpse of his cock. He was big, much bigger than my boyfriend's. I stopped...kinda shocked, kinda embarrassed. He saw that I was looking at him and shot me an embarrassd smile. He immediately apologized to me and made some comment about how when you gotta go you gotta go. I apologized to him for staring. We exchanged introductions and made a little small talk. He was home on leave from the Army after being in Afghanistan for the past year. He told me he just needed some time by himself after coming back from oversees and had set up camp nearby at a place he had come to often when he was in high school. After a moment or two, we said our "Nice meeting you," good byes, and I resumed my run. I hit the three mile marker and turned to run the three mile back to where I started. The sun was going down now, and it was getting kind of chilly. I realized I had left my sweatshirt hanging on a tree branch back where I had talked to the soldier. I couldn't get the vision of that big cock out of my mind. I wondered how big it was when hard. I had been with my current boyfriend for coming up on two years, and had not had that much experience with men prior to that. The men I had been with were not nearly as big as the soldier. I was wondering what it would be like to be with him in bed. I had a girlfriend who was dating a black guy, and she always told me the sex with him was pretty fantastic. I was thinking about holding that big cock in my hand, and totally into this fantasy trip with him when I stepped on a tree root, rolled my ankle, and went down hard. I knew it was a bad sprain. Now I was in a fix. It was getting darker, and I was a long way from the rendezvous point with my boyfiriend. I limped along, painfully, and thankfully saw my sweat shirt hanging on the tree branch. Knowing the soldier's camp had to be near by, I called out to him...Soon he emerged from the woods and hurried over to me. I showed him my injured foot and ankle, and he picked me up and carried me to his campsite. He put a wool blanket over his sleeping bag and laid me down on it. After carefully removing my shoe and sock, he shook his head, and confirmed what I already knew...bad sprain. I told him that my boyfriend was waiting for me at the trail head, about two miles away. I thought he might come looking for me. Without a word, the soldier wrapped me up in the blanket and picked me up with little effort. "Well, if he does come looking, let's meet him halfway."I put my arms around his powerful neck and shoulders, and away we went. He took long strides and we seemed to be moving pretty fast. I kept asking him if he was getting tired, and he kept replying, "No," but from his labored breathing I knew he was. We had gone about a mile, and would have kept going, but I told him I needed to stop. There was a little clearing up ahead, sort of a small meadow which was strewn with large boulders. He set me down on the blanket and sat on one of the boulders,to rest.He asked me about my foot. And I told him it was fine. He told me a little bit about his unit, and what they had been doing in the war. After some more small talk, there was a long pause where we just looked at each other. Normally, I'm a pretty shy person, but I got up as best I could, put my arms around his neck, and gave him a long passionate French kiss. He kissed me back, and soon we were both naked. My B-cup breasts seemed so small in his hands as he played with me. He spent a lot of time on my nipples, sucking them hard, and keeping them hard. I dropped to my knees and got between his legs and began sucking his cock. It was far bigger than anything I had before, and I was having a little trouble getting it in my small mouth. The soldier gently held my head in his big hands, brushed my hair away from my eyes, and spoke to me in soft reassuring tones, telling me how good it felt and how pretty I was.. He told me not to try to get it all in my mouth, but to just lick him because if felt so good. After a few minutes of enjoying his big beautiful cock and balls, he put me on my back and positioned his cock against my pussy. I was really wet and ready, and I began to breath faster as I felt the tip of his cock against my vaginal orafice. He entered me slowly, filling me as I had never been filled before. It was like losing my virginity all over again. He was on top of me now and fucking me with long smooth strokes. I was wishing it would go on forever, when I felt the head of his cock begin to throb..."Oh no," I thought to myself, "he's coming." He filled me with several spurts of his hot sperm, and I had not yet had my orgasm. I was like WTF, the best sex of my life and I didn't come? This isn't happening.He had collapsed on top of me after he came, breathing heavily, but I was not finished. I clamped my ankles hard around his waste and by pulling down on his left shoulder and straining with all my might, I was able to flip him to his back.I used my vaginal muscles to hold his softening cock in place and began to ride him. I was going to have an orgasm, and that was all there was to it. My efforts began to pay off because after some moaning and mild protest on his part, he began to get hard again. God this was good. I fucked him hard as I could, slapping my petite ass up and down on that cock while he held it in those strong calloused hands, and it wasn't long before we both climaxed together. I was sure my screaming would be picked up by my boyfriend if he was out looking for me, so we quickly got dressed, and started back toward the trail head. It was totally dark when we arrived, and walked up on my boyfriend who was talking to a ranger. After hearing my story, the ranger drove off, and I got in my boyfriend's car to for the trip home. Before the soldier left, I had him write down his name and address. I said I was going to write a thank you note to his commanding officer (Yeah, right). As he handed me his information, he leaned into the open front door and gave me a nice kiss on the cheek. He said that "helping me was the highlight of his year." I responded with a nicer kiss back, and, yes, it was on the lips with tongue. As he walked off, my boyfriend called after him about how he didn't really appreciate him kissing me like that. The soldier just smiled, and shrugged a sort of "sorry about that." Before turning to make his way back to the campsite, we locked eyes again. I nodded, and he nodded. We had not seen the last of each other, and my boyfriend didn't miss anything about our non-verbal good bye. All the way home I caught hell from him about kissing the soldier, and whether I liked it, and wondering if anything else happened, blah, blah, blah... I just sat there with a smirk...if you only knew guy, if you only knew. I then texted my girlfriend about moving in with her for a while.

This day was pretty memorable. The Jamaat from our mosque are staying at a mosque in Kuril for three days, starting from Friday. Last night, by Allah's will, my dad suddenly decided to go there and join the great work for a day. I didn't expect him to make such a decision. But no one knows what Allah wishes. So today after lunch, me and my father went to that mosque and joined our Jamaat. After Asr we went out for Gasht (to invite people to the mosque), and my father was there with us. I did the part of inviting. After Maghrib we listened to the discussion. And then after Isha we came back home.
It might not sound much to you, but I know how big this is for me. It teaches me a lesson. We always think that we can predict everything. We judge the future with reference to the present situation, and we forget that Allah can do whatever He wants. He can bring about things we never even imagined, He can make changes to the world within a blink of an eye. All we have to do is have some faith, and never stop praying and trying. May Allah open up our eyes to the Truth. Ameen.

Since he first set foot on Aruba three years ago, famous standup comedian Ray Ellin knew he wanted to spend more time on the island. He started hosting and producing his Aruba Ray's Standup Comedy show four times a year at the Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino, bringing along top notch US comedians to perform with him. The show is not only a big success in Aruba, but there's nothing like it in the entire Caribbean. In this article Ray shares with you his favorite sightseeing spots, restaurants and his undying love for his Aruba.
Boston Boy turns Beach Lover
I was never a fan of the beach before. Growing up in Boston I loved it when my grandparents took me to their farm, I did like the outdoors, but the beach? Nah, not so much. But that was until I came to Aruba and saw its beaches; I just fell in love with the beauty of it. Actually the first time I ever snorkeled in my life was here in Aruba. Also, I can't remember the last time my 72 year old mother went to the beach or into the water, she always stayed out of the sun, and when I brought her to Baby Beach last year, she just lit up. She was so happy to be in the Aruban sun and water.
What's so special about Aruba?
People get excited for different things: art, cars, and coffee mugs; everyone has something that gets them going, and I can't expect everyone to feel the way I do about Aruba. I have been to almost every other island in the Caribbean but there is just no place like Aruba. So what makes Aruba so special? It's the simplest things like: you can drink the water, use US dollars, the people are nice, they understand English; all these things make your vacation so comfortable. And then throw in things like: the most beautiful beaches in the world, terrific restaurants, and beautiful landscapes; there is just no place like it!
If I didn't have to make a living in the States, I would be living here. I genuinely don't see myself as a tourist, rather an adopted Aruban.
What do you do during your vacation?
Snorkeling at Mangel Halto, kayaking at Palm Beach, exploring the culture and making Aruban friends but what I especially love is driving up to the California lighthouse and stop to get a coconut and enjoy the stunning view. Just before you reach the lighthouse along the road there is a spot where all the water hits the rocks and gets spat back out, it looks like a nest of waves, so that's what I call it, "The Nest of Waves". I'll go there a few times each year. The comedians I brought there were absolutely awed by this.
After just a few days in Aruba, my New York friends and colleagues lose their tough exteriors. One of them said "I got the "yuck" off me. That's what Aruba and its natural calming qualities does for you, it gets the '"Yuck" of you!
Sharing the Love
When I bring comedians or friends over, I always try to encourage them to venture off the beach and explore the island. I understand they're tired, work all the time and just want to veg out on the beach, but there is so much to explore! For example, the Donkey Sanctuary, you don't have that stuff in New York, it's so charming, or the pretty little Alto Vista chapel.
Or going to the Natural Pool, you have to earn the right to see that, you have to navigate the bumpiest jeep ride of your life, which makes you appreciate the destination even more!
Ray Ellin's Top Attractions:
- The Natural Pool, it's cathartic
- The Three Bridges
- The North Kaap
- Mangel Halto for Snorkeling
- Baby Beach
Ray Ellin's Favorite Upscale Restaurants:
- Papiamento
- Quinta del Carmen
- Screaming Eagle
- Two Fools and a Bull
- La Vista at the Aruba Marriott Resort
Things Ray wants to do during his next visit:
- Learn how to kite surf
- Go for drinks and pizza at Urataka center
- Climb the Hooiberg
- Scuba diving at Rocky Beach (very secluded beach)
- Ride another horse to the Natural Pool
Engage with Aruba via social media at www.facebook.com/ArubaFans or @Aruba on Twitter. For more information regarding Ray Ellin's next set of shows here in Aruba in October please visit: www.ArubaComedy.com or http://www.aruba.com/things-to-do/ray-ellin-standup-comedy-aruba.

Looking Forward
January 05, 2015
Federal Funding, Parents, Public Policy, Teen Pregnancy, Teens
Happy New Year faithful Pregnant Pause readers; welcome to 2015.
My dad offered me precious little advice in his lifetime so when he did ladle out counsel I tended to pay attention. One thing he told me was, "if you're looking backwards you're looking in the wrong direction." Indeed. With that wise guidance as our starting point, let's begin the New Year quickly reviewing the current bidding and moving with all deliberate speed to the future.
Looking backwards for a moment: Gentle reader you already know that teen pregnancy and birth rates are at record lows—there has been significant progress in all 50 states and among all racial/ethnic groups. This national success story began in the early 1990s and has accelerated considerably in recent years. Still, almost one in four young people get pregnant by age 20.
Looking forward: If we are to keep this progress going, what will it take? What do we all need to do to help teens avoid too-early pregnancy and parenthood. Well…who knows…but here are a few modest ideas:
- Integrating pregnancy planning and prevention into other powerful sectors. There are numerous large sectors and programs (many of which receive immense amounts of public funding) that engage and interact with thousands of high risk teens and young adults every day. Although these sectors and programs deal with the consequences of teen and unplanned pregnancy, most do precious little to include pregnancy planning and prevention in their work.
- Prevention and opportunity. The full benefit of postponing childbearing for teens requires not only pregnancy prevention, but also continued, complementary efforts to reduce income inequality, improve education and jobs, encourage personal responsibility, and articulate the importance that children are born to those ready for the lifelong responsibility of being a parent. That is, we must say clearly that in many instances, and especially for the most disadvantaged, just postponing a birth for a few years may not make much of a difference if there is no progress on other fronts simultaneously (schools, employment, etc.). Reducing teen pregnancy is necessary but may not be sufficient for achieving better lifetime results.
- Low maintenance birth control. LARCs may well be the best contraceptive option for many teens—the American Academy of Pediatrics calls it "first line" contraception for adolescents— a perspective that requires continuing work to encourage providers and teens both to select this option first.
- Putting what works to work. Communities must increasingly choose evidence-based programs to help reduce teen pregnancy. No more programs designed at the kitchen table!
- Sex education for the 21st century. We should also proceed with developing good online sex ed for teens 17 and under, especially for communities that, for whatever reason, do not have good evidence-based sex ed in their schools.
- Parents, parents, parents. We must continue engaging parents and other significant adults who have such a major and lasting influence on children and younger teens.
- Narrowing the focus of prevention. Emphasis on 18-19 year olds, and with those groups with particularly high rates of teen pregnancy such as those aging out of the foster care system.
Bill Albert is the Chief Program Officer of The National Campaign. As Chief Program Officer, Bill is responsible for overall program planning and development, and for tracking program progress. In addition, Bill provides oversight to the Campaign's media outreach and communication strategies, as well as the writing, editing, design, and production of Campaign's numerous publications and materials. In addition, he oversees the Campaign's popular, award-winning websites, the National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, the organization's work with new media, and the Campaign's marketing efforts.
Before his work with The National Campaign, Bill spent 12 years working in television news, most recently as the Managing Editor at Fox Television News in Washington, DC. His responsibilities included managing the editorial content of two daily news broadcasts, assigning, editing, and writing stories for air, conducting interviews, and overseeing the work of reporters and electronic news gathering crews.
Bill received his degree in Communications at American University and resides in Kensington, Maryland with his wife, Carol. His perfect 21-year-old son, Harrison The Boy Wonder, is a senior at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD to its friends).

The Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM Autofocus Zoom is a super-wide angle lens with a relatively bright f/3.5 maximum aperture throughout its zoom range, helping to ensure high image quality. The lens gathers enough light to make it a great choice for indoor shooting as well as landscapes and creative portraiture. This version of the lens is exclusively made to fit Sony's Alpha lens mount, which is also shared by the discontinued Minolta Maxxum cameras. It is not intended for use with Sony's "full frame" digital SLR cameras, or for any film-based Minolta Maxxum cameras.
With a wide angle viewing range of 102.4-63.8°, this lens can empower a photographer to produce creative images with exaggerated perspective. Its Super Multi-Layer coating reduces flare and ghosting, and a HSM autofocus motor provides quiet operation, high speed, and perhaps most important the ability to manually override focus position at any time.
The 10-20 f/3.5 EX DC HSM incorporates an inner focusing system to eliminate front lens rotation, which also makes the lens able to use an included petal-type bayonet hood to eliminate extraneous light from striking the front of the optic. Two ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion) glass elements and a SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass element provide excellent color fidelity, and 4 aspherical lens elements provide correction for common distortions.
This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 9.4" (24cm) throughout the entire zoom range, and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:6.6.
Note! Vignetting will occur if the lens is used with 35mm SLR cameras or digital cameras with image sensors larger than APS-C size

Episode Summary: Sena breaks through Kakei's Moby Dick Anchor, but he is stopped just inches from the touchdown by a desperate Mizumachi. Hiruma uses their last timeout with two seconds remaining and the Devil Bats behind by five points. They decide to have Sena jump over their line in a joint combination with Monta so that he goes twice as high. The plan succeeds, and they score a touchdown, winning the game. Kakei tells Sena that it no longer matters whether he is the original Eyeshield 21 or not, but that what matters is that he is one of the most excellent players Kakei has ever seen, and that Sena is Eyeshield 21.

Contenders Out On Odd Day
February 18, 2002 | 12:00 A.M. EST
Almost. But after a grinding 18-car crash 50 laps from the finish, Daytona International Speedway resembled a junkyard. That Big Wreck, and several other incidents, dashed the hopes of several drivers hoping to start 2002 by winning NASCAR Winston Cup's biggest race.
There was Sterling Marlin, a victim of, well, Sterling Marlin.
There was Jeff Gordon, a victim of Jeff Gordon – and Kevin Harvick.
There was Kurt Busch, a victim of inexperience.
There was Ken Schrader, a victim of an ill-timed pit stop and The Big Wreck.
There was Michael Waltrip, a victim of Mark Martin.
There was Dale Earnhardt Jr., a victim of two flat tires, brake problems and The Big Wreck.
There was Tony Stewart, a victim of a blown engine.
Heck, we haven't even mentioned second-place Elliott Sadler and third-place Geoffrey Bodine. But they weren't really contenders until the other contenders weren't contenders any more. And that was in the final three laps of the race.
"A lot of guys didn't use much patience, and a whole new crop of drivers were up front today just because the veterans seemed to want to go to the front and bully everybody around," Busch said. "It seemed like it was an odd race."
"Crazy race out there," Gordon said.
"It was a wreckfest," Jeff Burton said.
The Big Wreck did take out a few top contenders. But there were plenty of other strange circumstances.
Marlin led the most laps, 78, and was in a good position to win when the race restarted with six laps to go. He trailed leader Gordon and made a good restart. But the two got together when Gordon tried to block. Gordon ended up on the apron and out of the lead, and Marlin beat Ward Burton back to the caution flag.
NASCAR, as has become its custom, displayed the red flag. Marlin, worried about his car, crawled out and pulled his right-front fender off the tire. Whoops.
"I got the fender on the tire," Marlin said. "We tried to get it off, but NASCAR didn't like it."
NASCAR rules say you can't work on a race car during the red flag, and that includes drivers-turned-mechanics. Marlin was sent to the end of the lead-lap cars, which eliminated his shot at a third Daytona 500 victory.
Gordon was going for a third Daytona 500 victory, too. His incident with Marlin looked a lot like an incident with Harvick. While battling for second, Harvick threw a block up high, and when Gordon darted low, Harvick tried another block. But like Marlin, Gordon didn't back off and tapped Harvick, triggering the big 18-car crash.
Gordon escaped relatively unscathed, but then he and Marlin tangled. Gordon then pitted too soon and was sent to the end of the line with Marlin.
"We had a good handling car, a fast race car, and we had great pit stops," Gordon said. "We were able to work our way back up there and found ourselves in perfect position. Unfortunately, that caution came out."
Interestingly, Gordon had gotten the lead earlier in a similar fashion that he lost it: on a re-start. When the green waved with 24 laps to go, Busch was in the lead as a result of a good move around Marlin 15 laps earlier.
But Gordon zipped around Busch on the outside heading into Turn 3, and everyone followed him.
"I knew I had a car to win the race," Busch said. "I was the victim of a re-start. I didn't want to get too aggressive with blocking because people were getting sent for that."
Instead of getting turned sideways, Busch got sent backwards out of the draft.
The back of the pack was where Schrader was for The Big Wreck. That was odd because Schrader looked strong the first half of the race, comfortably leading 46 of the first 74 laps. But on Lap 75, Schrader was the first of the leaders to make a pit stop. He was never seen from again, except as a heap of metal inside Turn 2.
Typical of Schrader, his answer as to what happened was short and to the point. Asked what he saw, Schrader said, "Smoke."
Waltrip saw a little bit of everything. He saw the lead, getting out front from Lap 4 to Lap 23. He saw the back of the draft, having to fight his way to the front. He saw the infield grass, getting punted by Martin with four laps to go. In the end, he saw fifth place.
"Battle of wrecks," Waltrip said. "That's what you'll have in restrictor-plate races. We do that a lot here. The further it goes, the more stuff you'll see. It gets wild. People get desperate at the end. I understand that. I get desperate, too."
Earnhardt Jr. and Stewart never had a chance to get desperate. Stewart, who won last Sunday's Budweiser Shootout and finished second in his qualifying race, blew up on the second lap to end a possible run at his first Daytona 500 victory.
Junior looked strong, running second to Waltrip early in the race. But a flat right-front tire forced some extensive work on his fender. Earnhardt Jr. bounced back to run in the Top 10, but his right-rear tire went flat. The crew also had to repair his brakes, and then Earnhardt Jr. got involved in The Big Wreck.
"We just kept coming back," said Earnhardt Jr., whose Speedweeks highlight was winning the Busch Series race Saturday in a car bearing the No. 3. "It says a lot about the team, the guys. They don't want to give up.
"Overcoming the flat tires and being competitive with no fender, that was cool. Sliding through the infield at 160 miles per hour with no brakes and no right-rear tire, that was cool. A lot of neat things happened this weekend."
A lot of weird things happened, too – especially to many contenders.
Burton Loses Winning Car
As has become a Daytona tradition, Burton's winning car was inducted into Daytona USA on Monday morning. The No. 22 Dodge will be at the museum/attraction for a year.
Burton's crew predicted the induction earlier this week, but Burton wasn't as confident.
"My teammates were really confident," Burton said. "(Crew chief) Tommy (Baldwin), (engine builder) Terry Elledge and all the guys working on the car the last two weeks kept saying, 'This car is going to stay at Daytona.' I'd laugh at them and say, 'Yeah, yeah. That would be great.'
"But they were very confident that this car was going to stay in Daytona USA."

- No ShortageReview by arthur
- I never wore shorts in my life before moving to Florida. Now I wear little else. And I can buy them in local stores for less then I paid for these. But once again you get what you pay for. These came out of the box soft and pliable as though they'd been washed many times. No need for the TIDE break-in. They're fully cut. Pockets are deep enough. They legs are more fully cut, than other shorts I own - very comfortable. They've washed well. I've not experienced any shrinkage. And seem very durable, as advertised. I wore them on a recent trip under my Aerostich riding pants - a comfortable combination in my steamy corner of the country. Not the cheapest, but good value. I may buy another pair. (Posted on 10/21/13)
- Great shortsReview by Dale
- I bought these thinking that they would be good under my AD1 pants on hot days. I haven't tried that yet, but they are great shorts to wear on the weekends. They are comfortable, well-made, and not as bulky as my cargo shorts. (Posted on 8/23/13)
- Tough shortsReview by shmac96
The first pair I bought was two years ago and they were the dark brown. Those shorts however had a zipper pocket on the right leg as well you snapped the shorts together along with an integrated belt which I just recently and finally had to take off due to constant unfastening i.e. wear and tear. I still have those shorts with just a few tiny holes here an there from wiping my hands of battery acid other then that they are my favorite shorts and sadly (depending on your perspective) I sometimes wear them for many days at a time...like two weeks. Very rugged and I love the material! I got those on sale and they were well worth the money!
I just ordered the shorts you see above in the pic in the beige color. They too are from the same company. For some reason they fit a little tighter then the ones i mentioned above and I had to send back the 34 waist and get a 36. Trust me when I say I havent gotten fatter. That being said the shorts are made with the same rugged material and because of the beige color can actually be used to go out and about with the lady friend provided they are clean though Im sure that wont last much longer.
I do wish that they were snap together like my first pair as opposed to the button which is a little to small and fear that it will eventually fall off which happens alot with my shorts. Also, the front zipper pocket is very much missed on these new shorts. Other then that these will probably be the only pair of shorts that I will have until they are unwearable.
Oh almost forgot. These new ones werent on sale so had to pay full price which kind of sucked but its worth the money. Especially since I dont have to buy new shorts for another 2 or more years. Now I just need the same in a pair of jeans and slacks and I will be all set!
hope this review was helpful!

Wearing Shorts Under Riding SuitsIn the past we have recommended wearing long sleeve shirts and long pants underneath Aerostich suits. We still do, but after seeing thousands of crash-damaged suits, I'm more relaxed about wearing shorts and a t-shirt underneath. Especially for casual riding, touring, and traveling. There are trade-offs but wearing shorts under Aerostich suits can make warm weather rides a lot more comfortable. The shorts can be cotton, synthetic or blended fabrics. Shorts are also great at any roadside stops or destinations after your suit is off. Combined with tall riding boots they make an attractively hip look, right?

While most people, including researchers, are interested in the benefits of FES-cycling for people with spinal cord injuries, a growing body of evidence is now spurring research into the benefits for other disease categories.
In a recently completed French study (NCT02594722), researchers asked whether FES-cycling might improve aerobic capacity in a range of breathing conditions called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
COPD is a progressive and potentially fatal disease that makes it hard to breathe. COPD includes people with emphysema and chronic bronchitis, and it affects an estimated 64 million people around the world, according to the World Health Organization.
In this first study of FES-cycling for COPD, the researchers enrolled 25 COPD patients. The study participants completed two measured sessions to see if FES-cycling improves certain metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes during endurance exercise. Participants were divided into two groups: an experimental group that participated in active FES-cycling and a placebo group that experienced sham FES (low level stimulation with no significant muscle contractions).
In each session, participants underwent 30 minutes of constant load cycling while the researchers measured oxygen uptake, ventilation equivalent for oxygen, ventilation equivalent for carbon dioxide, cardiac output, and lactate values, as well as perceived difficulty in breathing and perceived muscle fatigue.
The results of the study demonstrate significantly increased VO2 average (oxygen uptake) for the FES-cycling session compared to the non-FES session and a significant increase in lactate after the FES-cycling compared to standard session.
VO2 measures the body's ability to consume oxygen, and higher lactic acid levels indicate more strenuous exercise. COPD patients have impaired lung function, which limits their ability to achieve sufficient exercise intensity to benefit from it. Thus, the higher average VO2 and lactate levels achieved by the COPD patients after FES-cycling indicates that the added FES increased the effective exercise intensity, potentially enabling people with COPD to achieve greater health benefits from exercise augmented by FES.
"These physiological results suggest that FES-cycling can improve cardiovascular and metabolic responses to exertion," wrote the study authors. "To the best of our knowledge, no studies have evaluated the potential benefits of FES-cycling in patients with COPD."
If further research corroborates this study, then the number of people around the world who might use FES-cycling to improve their health could vastly grow beyond people with spinal and neurological disorders, as there are over 3 million cases of COPD each year in the US alone.
MYOLYN's mission is to improve health and human performance by empowering people to move. That vision drove the development of both clinical and home versions of the MyoCycle, which combines isokinetic cycling and FES into a single system to improve outcomes. While the MyoCycle was originally designed for people with paralysis, it has the potential to empower millions of other people to improve their own health by moving better.

While a number of studies have demonstrated the benefits of FES-cycling therapy for people who have had a stroke, the question Italian researchers wanted to answer is whether FES-cycling might be better than standard physiotherapy for recovering functional motion.
To answer this question, the researchers recruited 16 patients who experienced their first stroke less than 6 months prior to enrolling in the study. All patients were over 18 years old and were evaluated before and after therapy training using standard measures of function including gait analysis and volitional cycling ability.
Participants were randomly assigned to FES-cycling therapy or standard physical therapy. Both groups were compared to an age-matched healthy group. Participants underwent 75 minutes of training a day for 15 days. In the FES group, the training consisted of 25 minutes of FES-assisted cycling and 50 minutes of standard therapy. The comparison group did 75 minutes of standard physiotherapy, including strength and stretching exercises, gait training, and hand rehabilitation.
At the end of the intervention, participants underwent testing and evaluation by therapists who were unaware of the group to which the patients belonged. The tests included functional evaluation, 6-minute walk test, and a cycling test, where patients were asked to volitionally pedal at four different velocities (20, 30, 40 and 50 revolutions per minute).
A comparison of the FES-cycling and standard therapy groups showed that both obtained similar improvements in functional performance as a result of the intervention (45.2% and 47.9% improvement for the FES-cycling and standard therapy groups, respectively).
Analysis of the gait speed and double support time (how long both feet are on the ground during walking) showed that the FES-cycling group experienced greater improvements in both of these measures as compared to the standard therapy group. Specifically, the FES-cycling group experienced a 35.4% increase in gait speed and a 33.8% reduction in double support time, while the standard therapy group only had a 24.3% increase in gait speed and a 23.0% reduction in double support time.
The greatest differences between the FES-cycling and standard therapy groups were highlighted by the cycling test. Patients in the FES-cycling group could produce significantly more power with their affected leg (30.5% versus 11.1% improvement in the control group) with a more symmetrical and efficient pedaling motion.
The researchers concluded that these preliminary results suggest that FES-assisted cycling training is safe and effective for improving both cycling and walking ability in post-acute elderly stroke patients. In fact, FES-assisted cycling training is at least as effective as standard physiotherapy and, in some measures, is more effective.
The study did not look at the benefits of FES-cycling therapy that have been shown in other studies, such as improved exercise capacity, aerobic capacity and cardiopulmonary function. It also was limited to 15 sessions and the authors said the preliminary results indicated that 15 sessions may not be enough to show a significant difference between the two groups.
While FES-cycling has long been associated with benefits to people with spinal cord injury, a growing body of research is showing that people with other neurological disorders such as stroke may have as much or more to gain from FES-cycling.

Among people with spinal cord injury, who is most likely to benefit from functional electrical stimulation (FES) therapy? That's a great question that many researchers are asking in regard to a wide range of spinal cord injuries.
In a small study of 14 paraplegics wishing to participate in sports, researchers found that people whose spinal cord injury occurred above T-12 were more likely to benefit from FES-cycling therapy, and those with traumatic injury as opposed to infectious injury were the most likely to respond to FES-cycling therapy.
The Brazilian and French researchers published their findings in the European Journal of Translational Myology last fall.
In the study, the researchers aimed to examine the personal, clinical, structural, and functional characteristics of people with paraplegia interested in sports. They assessed all for responsiveness to neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) by applying stimulation to the subjects' leg muscles. They divided those whose muscles visibly contracted into the responsive group and those whose did not assigned to the non-responsive group.
In all, there were 14 volunteers, 3 men and 11 women between the ages of 23 and 56, who had been living with paralysis from 2 to 50 months. All participated in 16-sessions using surface NMES applied to the quadriceps and progressing to other muscle groups. The strength of contractions in response to NMES was measured on a scale from 0 to 5, where 3/5 was considered strong enough for movement against gravity.
The researchers found that all the volunteers who responded to NMES had spinal cord injuries above T-12, while among those who did not respond, half had injuries above T-12 and half had injuries below T-12 or the lumbar area. When they distinguished between spinal injury caused by trauma versus infection, they found that only one in the non-responsive group had spinal cord injury above T-12.
They concluded that paraplegics with traumatic spinal injuries above T-12 were the best potential candidates for FES-cycling therapy. According to the 2015 Annual Report by the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC), 90% of people with spinal cord injury are injured at T-12 or above, meaning that 9 out of 10 people with spinal cord injury are likely good candidates for FES-cycling therapy.
The explanation for these results is that injury below T-12, or certain types of spinal cord infections, typically damage the peripheral nerves. Without intact peripheral nerves, NMES/FES cannot cause the muscles to contract, meaning that people with damaged peripheral nerves are not good candidates for FES-cycling therapy.
If you or a loved one may be a candidate for FES-cycling therapy, the MyoCycle Home may be right for you. It is the most affordable, easiest-to-use FES bike ever made, and it empowers people with muscle weakness or paralysis to get the best workout possible from the comfort of home.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a broadly-defined neurological disorder that encompasses brain injury or malformation in a child's brain that occurs before, during, or immediately after birth and results in impaired motor control [1]. Because of the broad definition of CP, people with CP can exhibit a very wide range of symptoms, and no two people with CP will exhibit the same symptoms. However, people with CP generally have difficulty moving parts of their bodies normally because of muscle weakness or paralysis, impaired muscle coordination, and/or spasticity. Impaired motor control can also be accompanied by intellectual impairment, seizures, or sensory impairment.
Physical impairment can severely limit participation in physical activity by people with CP, as is true for anyone with physical impairments. Lack of physical activity can lead to the development of any number of chronic diseases [2], especially in children with disabilities like CP [3]. Exercise is an effective method for mitigating the negative secondary health effects of neuromuscular diseases like CP [4], but how can someone with CP exercise despite their impaired motor control, especially when 31% of children with Cerebral Palsy have limited or no walking ability [5]?
Stationary cycling is an especially effective means of exercising for people with disabilities, as it's a relatively simple task that physically engages the entire lower body but doesn't require dynamic balancing. Unfortunately, physical impairment often prevents children with CP from cycling at workloads high enough to achieve a significant therapeutic effect. Cycling combined with functional electrical stimulation (FES-cycling) has been used for more than 30 years to help people with spinal cord injury exercise despite physical impairment [6]. Recent research is proving that an FES bike, especially FES-assisted cycling, where the patient actively participates in the cycling with help from FES, offers similar benefits for people with CP [7]-[10]. Specifically, the research has demonstrated the following benefits:
• Improved muscle coordination and strength
• Immediate improvements in cycling performance
• Improved walking ability
• Better quality of life
FES-cycling may also provide afferent sensory input to the central nervous system that enhances brain plasticity and cortical motor output, which may further improve functional outcomes in a manner similar to the effect of FES-cycling for people with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or stroke.
FES-cycling can significantly improve quality of life for people with CP, as it provides them a way to achieve therapeutically significant levels of physical activity despite their physical impairments. The MyoCycle is an affordable, easy-to-use FES bike that can be used by people with Cerebral Palsy to achieve the combined benefits of cycling, isokinetic exercise, and FES. The MyoCycle can specifically provide the following benefits to people with CP:
• Relaxation of muscle spasms
• Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
• Increasing local blood circulation
• Muscle re-education
• Maintaining or increasing range of motion

Stroke (cerebrovascular accident or CVA) is a leading cause of death in the United States, killing more than 130,000 Americans every year [1]. Moreover, stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, especially hemiparesis (weakness or paralysis on one side of the body). In fact, roughly 80% of stroke survivors have hemiparesis [2], which can cause difficult speaking, grasping objects, or walking. Therefore, rehabilitation following a stroke resulting in hemiparesis usually involves a combination of occupational therapy, speech therapy, and physical therapy. Independence in daily living, especially independent walking, is a priority for stroke survivors, so a major objective of rehabilitation post-stroke is to recover the ability to walk normally.
Recovery walking ability after a stroke is a complicated process, as walking function depends on motor control, muscular strength/power, cardiorespiratory fitness, and other factors [3]. There are many different therapeutic interventions aimed at improving walking function that address one or more of these factors. Recently, therapists have increased their use of task-specific training using bodyweight-supported treadmills or robotic gait trainers, but such systems are often complex, expensive, and difficult to use in a timely manner. Gait training is particularly difficult for patients with severely limited walking ability, limiting its effectiveness for the people who may need it most.
Stationary cycling is a tried and true means of exercise and rehabilitation, and it may be just as effective at improving gait as bodyweight-supported or robotic gait training devices [4]. Cycling is an effective therapeutic tool for improving walking post-stroke for a number of reasons:
When functional electrical stimulation (FES) is added to cycling (FES-cycling), the benefits of cycling for people post-stroke can be amplified. Several studies have demonstrated the benefits of FES-cycling for people post-stroke [5]-[9], including:
FES itself adds the benefits of preventing muscle atrophy, increasing blood flow, re-educating the muscles, and maintaining/increasing joint range of motion. FES-cycling may also provide afferent sensory input to the central nervous system that enhances brain plasticity and cortical motor output, which may further improve functional outcomes in a manner similar to the effect of FES-cycling for people with Parkinson's disease.
Clearly, combining the benefits of cycling with the benefits of FES can dramatically improve the health and functional performance of people who have suffered a stroke. The MyoCycle is an FES bike that combines the benefits of cycling, isokinetic exercise, and FES into one affordable, easy-to-use system. If you or someone you love has had a stroke and is interested in FES-cycling, contact us today to learn how the MyoCycle can meet your needs!

Story highlights
Just this week, a friend of mine asked if I had ever paid for sex. Not in this lifetime. But I want to.
Most people sneer at prostitutes. Not me; they scare me. I think I was scarred as a ten year old. (No, I didn't live in a brothel.)
The most popular brothel in Ibadan where I grew up was called 'Asas Hotel'. For some strange reason it was located at the junction of my secondary school – a hub of at least eight schools actually.
One afternoon, a few friends and I jumped the school gate to go play Nintendo games at a video club across the road. As we passed by Asas, a middle-aged woman seated at the window of the second floor whistled at us.
All five of us stopped in our tracks, wondering what just happened. She whistled again. This time we looked up and she flashed a toothy grin.
But that wasn't the only thing she flashed: in the blink of an eye, she raised the blouse she was wearing and flashed us a pair of fleshy, orange-coloured breasts. Then she beckoned for us to come through a side door. We glanced at each other and silently agreed to.
We slid in and madam bounced down the wooden stairs. I may have been the tallest but I was the youngest so my other friends went to sit close to her. She asked if we had any money and they surrendered the five N1- notes we had contributed to play Mortal Kombat 2. She rolled the money in one hand and whipped out a breast with the other.
As the bravest among us – who turned out to be the most unfortunate – reached out for a squeeze, she grabbed his hand, pulled him close and dealt the most savage slap I had ever seen to the boy. She didn't let go; she kept punching and slapping him, at the same time cursing at all of us. 'Una wan fuck abi, na your mama toto you go fuck. Bastard children'.
The ruckus woke the other residents of the brothel who soon joined in the beatdown. I ran out of the building but couldn't escape the barman who doubled as pimp. They threatened to take us back to school and report to the principal.
After an hour of begging and receiving few more beatings, they let us go. In hindsight, I suspect that they knew they couldn't waltz into a good old Anglican school where the principal was the revered Venerable G.B. Daramola.
As an adult though, that fear has evolved into fascination. I am fascinated by hookers and prostitution. Just this week, a friend of mine asked if I had ever paid for sex. Not in this lifetime.
But I want to; not for a few rounds though, I want to have a conversation with a prostitute. I want to find out how they got into the 'business'.
Was it a vice? Was it sex slavery? The closest I got to finding out was asking a 15-year-old girl in Fagba, Lagos how long she had been doing 'olosho' work. Her reply was as caustic as it could get: Ogbeni s'o fe dobo ni abi ejo lo fe ro? Mi o raye oshi jare! (Mr. Man do you want to have sex or you just want to talk? I don't have time for this rubbish).
However, Tinder has helped in unraveling the mystery: I no longer have to shuffle around Allen Avenue, knowing fully well that a random pricing of the 'goods' on display will attract exotic curses- which for the sake of my infant son, I am not ready to receive.
Tinder is an app for casual dating. It is designed such that with minimum fuss, you can see a profile you like and register – well, your like. If they like you back and swipe as well, then bingo! You have a match.
In other climes where it works ideally, you meet up, chat, have sex if the chemistry is right and that's it.
Tinder is available in 190 countries across the world. Here in Nigeria, it's been stripped down to its core and used as an app for outright prostitution.
The ubiquity of the Internet has made everything available on demand- every human need can be met by clicking on a button. There's an app for food, clothing and shelter. Why not for sex?
The Nigerian prostitution industry is experiencing a liberalisation in its operations: why stand on the dark roads and wave at cars when you can upload half-naked photos on an app? Why negotiate with unserious customers when you can put 'hookup only 30k' under your profile on Tinder?
We investigated the rise of digital prostitution through the proliferation of Internet apps, particularly Tinder.
In the coming days, we'll bring you a three-part story of sex in the city of Lagos and how, unlike in past years, it has become really easy to get laid – at drastically different price points.

Blessed (The Chosen #2) by Ann Mayburn
Eliana Shay is an ordinary college girl with an extraordinary birthright. When handsome professor, Aiden Klemenson, sees her, he singles her out as a potential Chosen of the benevolent gods of Creation. He tries to convince Eliana that she is born to do the work of the gods—something unique and powerful. But Eliana's past doesn't allow her to have the trust she needs—in Aiden's gods and the man himself.
Aiden must employ all of his considerable charm to break through her defenses, while trying to keep their relationship strictly platonic. A difficult task when the lush and curvy Eliana's obvious desire and seductive aura shreds his self-control. Despite his best efforts, desire burns between them with an enchantment all its own.
The gods of Destruction will stop at nothing to keep Eliana from becoming a powerful force against evil. Cunning and deceitful, they send demons and magical serial killers to exterminate her before she can become a Creation god's Chosen hand on earth. In order to survive, Eliana will have to learn to have faith in her own strength and the warrior who stole her heart.

Target celebrates stretch marks in new swimwear campaign
NEW YORK (AP) -- Target is celebrating the stretch mark as a thing of beauty. The chain has launched a swimwear campaign on social media that features four models in unretouched images as it promotes a focus on inclusivity.
Social media star Megan Batoon, pro skateboarder Lizzie Armanto, model and body activist Denise Bidot and TV host and model Kamie Crawford star in the ad that features one-piece and two-piece suits.
The move follows Target and other retailers' increasing focus on embracing all body types and bolstering their offerings of plus-size clothing in fashion collections.
Minneapolis-based Target says it wanted to take an approach to swimwear that shows women in all their beauty -- stretchmarks and all.
Heading to Mexico soon & I can't wait to bring this sexy @targetstyle one-piece with me! This is not the one piece your mom used to force you to wear, honey 😂🙌🏽 The cut-outs and the fit are just everything 😍✨ Ready for mojitos & some fun in the sun! A lot of you have been telling me you've already gone to @Target & picked up a few summer suits! What's your go-to swimsuit style or styles your looking forward to giving a first try?!🍹☀ #targetstyle #targetswim #sponsored #makeupfree #unretouched
This suit makes me feel so covered and complex at the same time, not even my bangs can hold me back from taking it all in. You hear that, bangs? Take a back seat today, this poise is the star of the show. I mean, co-stars with the #targetswim. It's really more of a two-man show. A duet. Partners in crime. Popsicles that come in two. However you wanna think of it, that's what it is. @TargetStyle #targetstyle #sponsored | 1:37pm

Let's see. School is now out, and I have not quite caught the cooking bug like I thought I might. I attribute this to a general lack of ambition; with the impending trip, I am in "scavenge" mode...getting creative with the contents of my freezer and pantry items.
In addition to the Memorial Day holiday, this weekend marks the last grocery shopping trip for this month...and you know what that means, end-of-month totals!!
But, first, the weekly pie chart.
For future reference, I will refrain from buying cheese from the meat counter guys. A pound of colby longhorn ran five dollars...maybe this is par for the course?? Dairy products just seem so darn expensive - my 16 oz. tub of Fage yogurt was nearly five dollars! Of course, my feminine health is very important to me, so I will probably keep shelling out the beaucoup dolares for the yeast-killing stuff.
Here's the exciting news: for the second month in a row, my grocery bill has fallen under $400...this time by $46 dollars. And, my family is still eating well! They are not starving! They are not malnutritioned!
And finally, check out this last bit of data. My husband (Mr. Meticulous) keeps track of all our bills in a red 3-subject notebook, including our grocery expenditures. This last fall, we decided to place all grocery purchases on my ATM card, where I would easily be able to keep track of amounts. In the beginning, we just wanted a baseline for purchase amounts, but then we began to notice that grocery costs was an area that really could use trimming...especially after February (December was the worst, I know, but sometimes with the holiday season, one can be a bit more forgiving)!
The middle of March is really when I started actively seeking to reduce monthly grocery totals - coupons, sales, stockpiling, etc., all added to the significant decrease in March, April, and May's totals.
To be honest, I think I've found the magical number for our family right now - $400 per month. Yes, $350 was doable, but $400 would give me a bit more leeway with creativity at mealtime. Remember, I am still reading Julia Child and will be trying more of her recipes this summer.
June should prove to be interesting. Not only will I need to replenish my depleted freezer and pantry stores once I return from Alaska, but also devise clever ways to keep costs low now that I have another meal to provide for my three children during the summer. I think one way might be to double-batch casseroles - leftovers for the kiddos the next day!

text: Hey everyone. I hope this is the right section where to ask help... D: So yeah, let's get to the point. I've been trying to use Pokémon Blaze Black on my r4 SDHC but I can't really get it working. I've tried with wood but I still can't get it to work-- it crashes. I get a white screen and that's it. Is there any version of wood which can support both Black and Black 2? I've tried with pretty much everything I knew but I couldn't manage to get it working. I apologize if this is the wrong section, again. ;_;

Many people are not even aware of the presence of timing belts in their vehicles. It's not a car part that tends to get a lot of discussion today. These people certainly aren't going to know about the benefits of having a timing belt replaced. This is why you should know why a timing belt replacement from Westside Transmission and Automotive, Inc. could make all the difference in your life.
For one thing, drivers can tremendously improve their fuel economy through a timing belt replacement. A vehicle's combustion quality goes down if the existing timing belt is old, cracked, and stretched. Old timing belts do not fit around the gears tightly enough. Westside Transmission and Automotive, Inc. can help you save a lot money, improve the environmental profile of your vehicle, and consume gas more effectively through our West LA Timing Belt replacement service.
While a timing belt replacement can seem like just another automotive expense, getting one replaced can actually significantly lower your auto repair costs in the long run. After about sixty thousand miles, most people are going to have problems with weak or damaged timing belts. If those timing belts break altogether, then vehicle owners are often going to have to spend thousands of dollars repairing the damage. Replacing a timing belt periodically is a good way of preventing a much larger set of problems. They end up costing you a small fraction of what you're going to have to come up with to fix all of the damage associated with a broken timing belt.
Of course, many vehicle owners also like to take care of their vehicles. This is very much one of the main benefits that you can expect with our West LA timing belt replacement services. A new tight timing belt will give you the peace of mind you want. The benefits of new timing belts range from practical to emotionally satisfying.
If you're in need of a timing belt replacement, or any other type of preventative maintenance, come to Westside Transmission and Automotive, Inc. We're your home for West LA timing belt services!
