I am so excited about this idea. Karen Lewis, PDXOS artist #6, is interviewing all the artists in her area. This is such a great idea. I hope all the artists on the tour go out and interview each other. Let's get some excitement generated for the tour!
Here is here first interview, of Deborah Marble, Artist #7.
Deborah Marble has been interested in drawing people since childhood. Years of experience in drawing and painting from life have given her a unique way of expressing the human figure. She was a courtroom sketch artist for many years, before cameras were allowed in courtrooms. There she learned to work quickly, putting down on paper the distinguishing features of faces, the nuances of body language. Scenes surrounding people are suggested in a few lines and shapes, just enough to set them in place. There is a tangible emotional quality in her drawn line and painted gesture, as she shows people in daily activities.
Whether she is working from life, from photos, or from memories, Deborah focuses on the people around her, known and unknown. Sometimes a few minutes are all she needs to capture a likeness. She especially likes watercolor for its "unique flowing and blending quality which suit my preference for rapid results."
Visit Deborah's studio on your tour to see her working space, tools and supplies, and the range of her figurative work. Throughout the day, Deborah plans to demonstrate her approach on small pieces.

"When you got something, someone always wants it," he said. "You don't show off what you got, not even your happiness. If you are happy, you go into your room and lock the door. You jump up and down where nobody gonna see your happiness. If you hide all your shiny things, ain't nobody gonna take them away." – from In The Garden of Stone, page 49 –
The year is 1924 and sixteen year old Emma wakes one night in War, West Virginia with coal dust in the air. A train has overturned and spilled coal over the porch of her home. Caleb Sypher, a railroad man who is many years older than Emma, helps to dig her and her family out. A week later Emma marries Caleb who takes her far from her childhood home to the mountains of Virginia and 46 acres of pristine wilderness. Over the next several decades, Emma and Caleb's family live their lives against the backdrop of stunning scenery. They have babies, and struggle against poverty and unimaginable losses. They despair over unfaithfulness and mourn when illness strikes. And they find the simple joy in the freedom of wild horses, the leaping of trout from a cold mountain river, and the breathtaking beauty of colorful wildflowers. Sometimes they leave, but they always return, anchored to the land which they call home.
In The Garden of Stone is a multi-generational novel about the power of family and what it means to be a part of the land on which one lives. Susan Tekulve has had many short stories published, and her first novel feels a bit like short stories woven together. The book is a very literary novel where the characters drive the narrative. Each chapter moves the story forward through the years, introducing successive generations of the Sypher family. When Caleb dies, Emma grieves so deeply that her son Dean briefly returns to the poverty stricken coal town of War, West Virigina where he is raised by his grandmother and aunt. Eventually he returns to the family homestead and begins his own family. The reader comes to understand Dean and his wife, Sadie, and gets to watch their daughter grow up to adulthood. There are also other minor characters including a disturbed tramp who lives off the land, a friendly (albeit alcoholic) veterinarian, and a neighbor whose wife leaves him after the suspicious death of their son.
An important aspect of In The Garden of Stone is that of the Italian immigrants who came to the United States to stake their roots, raise their families and find work in and around Virginia. Tekulve captures not only the challenges these immigrants faced, but the culture which they brought with them from Italy. Early in the book, Caleb brings home rocks to create an Italian inspired garden for him and Emma. He finds joy in creating this oasis as a reminder of what his family left behind.
Tekulve's writing has a dreamlike quality and she writes with authority about the Virginia mountains and the depressed coal towns of West Virginia. Perhaps the strongest aspect of her novel are the descriptions of the landscape. There were times as I was reading where I could feel the warm breeze, smell the sweetness of wild roses, and hear the gurgle of water as it rushed around river rocks.
In The Garden of Stone is a quiet book. The plot is not exciting or fast paced, instead the novel celebrates the lives of its characters – their growth, their struggles, their dreams and disappointments. There were times I wished to stay longer with certain characters but Tekulve left them behind to pursue the stories of the next generation. I kept returning to the feeling I had from the beginning – that this was a series of linked stories, any one of which could have stood on their own, but were made stronger by being connected to each other.
Some readers may find the pace of this book too slow, but I enjoyed the leisurely journey through the lives of the characters. Those who like character-driven stories with a deeply rooted sense of place will find In The Garden of Stone a satisfying summer read.

An 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck Japan while most Americans slept last night sending shockwaves to the entire Pacific Rim.
As a result tsunami warnings have been issued throughout the entire Pacific including Hawaii and the West Coast.
KNIA/KRLS news has been in contact with Sara Tekula of the Plant a Wish Foundation who visited Knoxville last summer and lives in Maui. Tekula says they experienced a similar warning last year around this time after the Chile earthquake and the wave generated was minor so everyone got to practice these proceedures. Therefore, she says this time around they are much more prepared especially with all of the different ways to get information out to the public. However, Tekula says this tsunami appears to have a higher sea level rise and potential damage.
Tekula goes on to say it's great to have so many people around the world sending their support but encourages everyone to send all the love, prayer and support you can muster to the people of Japan as they are much worse off and will be for a long time.
It is anticipated that 6 foot waves will hit the Hawaii coasts at approximately 7:07am central time.

The Wonder Of Sippy Woodhead
Dec 18, 2012 - Chuck Warner
Guest writer Chuck Warner, US coach, considers the most enduring national age-group records among girls - and why the standards are still there
Two more weeks of competition in the United States during December, and here we go again! Swimmers in 2012 are shredding the National Age-Group (NAG) record book.
Allie Szekely dropped nearly two seconds off the 13-14 girls 200-yard breaststroke record, Reece Whitley became the first 11-12 year old boy to break 1:00 in the 100 breaststroke swimming the distance in 59.90 and the NCAP 15-16 girls swam a 400-yard medley relay of 52.4, 1:01.7, 56.5 and 49.9. Their time of 3: 40.53 would have scored at the NCAA Championships just six years ago.
Women's swimming is improving so fast that while in 2006 at the NCAA Championships 53.6 earned a top-8 finals swim in the 100-yard backstroke, in 2010 the same time wouldn't have qualified for the meet. The development of strength, athleticism, stroke length and body length have all helped the ladies nearly eclipse the records that Mark Spitz set when he won seven gold medals in 1972.
With all that being said, how could one girl hold the three oldest USA NAGs that date back to 1977 and 1978? Cynthia "Sippy" Woodhead was only 5'5" tall, didn't have long arms or big feet, she wasn't a super hero, just a super swimmer with the willingness to train and race like a champion. The USA's oldest female record is Sippy's for the 11-12-year old girls in the 500-yard freestyle. Her standard of 4:49.51 has withstood the challenges from eventual Olympic gold medalists Janet Evans, Brooke Bennett, Kate Ledecky and all the rest.
Why has this record and her other two lasted more than 30 years?
To begin with, in the early 1970s the opportunities for collegiate and professional swimming for women were not what they are today. Sippy grew up in an era when most female swimmers and their coaches targeted their high school years not only as either their primary window for success but usually as their only window of success.
An NCAA system for women to participate in college sports didn't exist until Title IX was passed in 1972--and began to be better applied in 1975--to make equal opportunity at the collegiate level the law. Even when it was passed it took many years for a mass of collegiate programs to begin to attract top coaches, develop strong conferences and build a high quality environment that inspired and attracted most of the top age-group swimmers in America, and now attracts many of the best swimmers around the world.
When Sippy was a young girl, on the other hand, East Germany had a system in place. Their system was carefully training and systematically drugging women in their national program that enabled them to slaughter the competition at the 1976 Olympics, including the USA.
In the middle 1970s the sport of swimming was in an exploration of mileage limits. With the addition of goggles to a swimmer's training, programs were finding out how long it was possible to stay in the water and work. In elite programs, the norm was being in the pool 11-12 times per week. It was not uncommon for swimmers to endure 100,000 meter or yards in a week, delivered by a plethora of young coaches eager to compete at the highest level of the sport. But in 1976, the East Germans dominated anyway.
So what did the American women do?

They worked even harder.
The American Swimming Team refused to lose. A leader of that team, George Haines stood up at the 1976 ASCA World Clinic in New Orleans and said, "I've been in this sport for a long time and not going to stand by for this. We aren't giving our girls what they need and it's up to us, as coaches, to change that."
Coaches across the country added strength programs and the girls worked at that too.
Sippy Woodhead was a smiling, bubbly, little girl that grew up in Riverside, California and swam for the Riverside Aquatic Association (RAA). Like Missy Franklin in 2008, Sippy swam in the 1976 Trials at age 12 but was not ready to seriously compete for a spot on that Olympic team. Her coach, Chuck Riggs, was as willing as anyone to invest in excellence and coached 11 practices each week'Ä"and taught school all day in between sessions. In 1976 and 1977 he believed in mileage and would do whatever he thought it took to help swimmers meet their potential.
In 1977, when Sippy was 13, Coach Riggs heeded the call to chase the East Germans and ran a program that consistently strove for completing 20,000 meters or yards per day, or over 100,000 each week. During school breaks that year RAA totaled 25,000 meters or yards on several days. They attempted 30,000 one day, but weren't successful.
In that program, and before her 13th birthday, Sippy swam the time of 4:49.51 in the 500-yard freestyle. But it was just setting the table for what was coming next.
In the 1977-78 swim season, Coach Riggs decided to change his program to one of more high quality. Practice volume decreased from 10,000 meters/yards in 2 to 2.5 hours to 6,500 to 7,000. Sippy was benefiting from the huge base from the year before and training faster and faster. A small set during an intense practice that season was 4 x 200s leaving on 4:00. Her times were: 1:51, 1:50, 1:49.5 and1:49.1. On a "broken 1650" set one winter morning, after a great 1000 (5:00, 4:44) and an easy 200 she ripped off 5 x 100s on 1:00 swimming times of 58, 57.2, 56.6, 55.4, and 54.5.
The American record in the 100-meter freestyle at that time was about 56.5 for women. That summer our teams practiced together one day (ever feel like Forest Gump, a bystander in great moments in history?) and I had the joy of coaching Sippy in the sprint group. The first main set Chuck planned was 8 x 100s on 1:45 in which the swimmers added 25 more meters of fast swimming on each one from one through four. On number four, Sippy pushed off and swam the time of 1:00. As a coach wanting to see the highest achievement possible I started thinking about her diving in and making an American record attempt on number 8. With Chuck's permission, I asked Sippy to dive on number eight and see what she could do. "No thanks," she told me, flashing her smile that could light up a room. "Too much pressure." 59 was all we got to see.
Then came a set of 5 x 200s pull with paddles and a donut (foam rubber around the ankles to create resistance) on 2:45 descended down to 2:05.
Sippy Woohead was like a kid on a water slide accelerating faster and faster down the slope. The heavy load from the 76-77 season, combined with a shorter more intense program the following year was creating the most versatile freestyler in the world. She was a national champion in distances that spanned 200 to the 1650 - a women's version of the great Tim Shaw.
At the end of the summer of 1978, Sippy and a youth group of American women named Tracy Caulkins, Linda Jezek and Kim Linehan went right into the DDR team's home country and whipped them in Berlin at the third ever World Championships. It was one of the most stunning turnarounds in the history of international swimming.
George Haines bold assertions from 1976 seemed prophetic.
At the World Championships Sippy set a new world record of 1:58.53 and threw in a 4:07.1 in the 400-meter freestyle - a time in her 70s suit that would have placed 4th at the 2012 USA Olympic Trials. Both times are still USA NAGs for 13-14 year old girls.
The young lady that swam those times was just a 14-year old girl. Certainly with maturity she would get faster - right? The next summer, in 1979, she dropped her 200 freestyle world record twice down to 1:58.23.
…and the 1980 Moscow Olympics were just a year away.
President Jimmy Carter put an end to her dream, as he did many others, of competing on the world's grandest stage for swimming. He decided to boycott the Olympic Games, because the Soviet Union had invaded Afghanistan. Sippy would have been 16 years old and had been ranked number one in the world during 1980 in the 100, 200, 400 and 800-meter freestyles.
The 1980 "Olympic Team" was invited to the White House, as a part of their "consolation prize." In the receiving line, President Carter shook Coach George Haines' hand. George wouldn't let go. Coach Haines looked the President straight in the eye and said, "Do you know what you did to these kids?" The "kids" included Sippy Woodhead and others named Tracy Caulkins, Mary T. Meagher, Craig Beardsley, Bill Barrett, Rowdy Gaines and more, that were the very best in the world and denied the chance to prove it in Moscow.
Sippy Woodhead might not be remembered for helping launch the collegiate program at USC, and winning a silver medal for the USA at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.
But it is fitting that Sippy's name remains in the USA record book, so she is remembered for what she did achieve - and perhaps just as importantly, for what she was never allowed to.

Families are being encouraged to explore West Sussex and its countryside walks over the Christmas break.
West Sussex County Council has created ten winter walks mapped and digitally available for residents. Each walk has a storyteller who gives a personal insight into the walk and their experience of it.
The walks went live in November and in that first month were downloaded 280 times and viewed 5,316 times.
Louise Goldsmith, leader at WSCC, said: "We have such beautiful countryside in West Sussex – we really are lucky.
"Christmas is a busy time for everyone, but if you want to clear the cobwebs and walk off some of those extra calories then consider downloading one or some of the walks and discovering what is on your doorstep.
"Take friends and family who are visiting and enjoy a brisk, bracing walk across West Sussex."
The ten walks are all of different lengths and difficulties.
They can be printed for free as a PDF or downloaded with the iFootpath app, which gives a smarter walking experience with live GPS powered maps that show your progress as you walk, and costs £1.49 to download to a smartphone.
The West Sussex Weekends website launched in the summer as part of the Beautiful Outdoors campaign, to help boost tourism in West Sussex and to support the local economy.
The campaign also has a local focus and aims to encourage residents to discover the West Sussex countryside on their doorstep and further afield.

"Bruce Dukes had been making wine in Margaret River for a long time at his own custom crush winery under contract for other brands. He wanted to launch his own brand using premium Margaret River fruit, the finest components and his own wine-making know-how. Although Bruce was an assistant winemaker for Francis Ford Coppola in the Napa Valley, he does not use a single grain of American oak in any of this wines.. everything is French.
The first vintages were released late 2014 and the results have been sensational! The Direction series "Sauvage" Sauv-Sem was awarded the IWC trophy for best Margaret River Sauv-Sem and the "Artus" Chardonnay was awarded the IWC trophy for best Margaret River Chardonnaythe two principal white wines from the region! Also the Direction "Rebus" Cabernet was the joint highest scoring Cabernet in the 2016 James Halliday wine companion.
All of the wines from Domaine Naturaliste show unbelievable varietal characteristics, opulent fruit, gorgeous texture and subtle oak. World class wines made by someone who is on top of their game!

The Academy of Sciences Malaysia in its 53rd Council Meeting decided to establish the ASM Award for Scientific Excellence in Honour of Tun Dr Mahathir Award in conjunction to the Academy's 10th Anniversary Celebration on 17 August 2004. The Inaugural Award was awarded to Professor John Sheppard Mackenzie for his outstanding contribution and breakthroughs in the field of Tropical Medicine. The award was presented on 3 September 2005 by Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong at a dinner in Kuala Lumpur.
This award is positioned as Malaysia's most prestigious Science Award for tropical sciences, and bestowed on any scientists, institution or organization worldwide in recognition of contributions and innovations towards solving problems in the tropics through science and technology and to be awarded to the most deserving based on merit. As such, this extends beyond the boundaries of Malaysia in order to encourage excellence in tropical science that will accord direct benefits to countries in the tropics and indirectly to the global community.
The categories for the award are Tropical Agriculture, Tropical Architecture and Engineering,Tropical Medicine, as well as Tropical Natural Resources. In 2005, the ASM Award for Scientific Excellence in Honour of Tun Dr Mahathir Award was renamed as Mahathir Science Award.
In 2010, the Mahathir Science Award Foundation was set up to manage and oversee this prestigious award. Remaining a key activity of the Academy, it is hoped that through this award, a new benchmark will be set for tropical sciences and the profile of science in Malaysia and the region of the tropics will rise to greater heights.
Overall, the award logo depicts the vision for contributions and innovations towards solving problems in the tropics through science and technology

It is such a heart warming experience for me to see the many five stars reviews posted on Amazon.com. Some of the readers offered quotes and insights which truly expand on the book itself. One mentioned a lovely quote by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes: "One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it."
Another reviewer, Dr Jan Bibel offered this interesting perspective:
"Mystics, as spiritual teacher Alan Watts once observed, are the jokers in the deck. Be they Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, Taoist, or Hindu, despite their differing teaching terminology and philosophical approaches and interpretations, they perceive the world much alike, and very differently than the socially conditioned population at large. Their quest for a deeper, unifying, egoless reality, one that can be experienced, parallels the scientist on the intellectual experimental path. Moreover, musicians can be regarded as spiritual sorcerers, aiding the seeker through aesthetics, song, sound vibration, and repetitive trance dance. All mystics practice, usually in combination, some form of music, breath control, or movement."
You may write your own review on Amazon here.
Adding your review could help others to enjoy and benefit from this new little book that came out of me almost in-spite of myself. Read more about how it happened in the acknowledgment page in the beginning of the book.
And if you are in Los Angeles area, on November 15 2014, we are having our third book release celebration event at the University of Philosophical Research in Los Feliz, an historic place where the love of wisdom have been nurtured for about 100 years.

These are some of the best examples of creative nonfiction that I have ever encountered. Some are memoirs and some are completely researched and outside of the author's own experience. Either way, these are book-length works of literary nonfiction that are noteworthy and deserving of praise (or at least a read-through).
- In Cold Blood by Truman Capote (1966) – If you let it, this book will change your life. Beautifully crafted, cleverly arranged, and resourcefully researched, this book is part of the New Journalism movement*. Capote used his skills as a fiction writer (including a strong sense of voice, scene, dialogue, point of view, vantage point) to tell the story of two murderers, Dick Hickock and Perry Smith, which he pieced together through first-person interviews with these men. Capote captured, on the page, how Dick and Perry planned to murder the Clutter family, committed the crime, fled the state, and were ultimately arrested and tried for the murder of the family of four. By leaving New York for Holcomb, Kansas, where the murders took place, Capote threw himself into the lives of friends and family of the Clutters, using interviews with them to flush out his story. Originally a story about how a seemingly motiveless and "perfect" murder disrupts the lives of a small-town population, the book slowly morphed into a story of murder and a character study of murderers, and how situations are never completely black and white. Be prepared to sympathize with the murderers, especially Perry, and to question your own thoughts about murder, redemption, and justice. (NOTE: In conjunction with reading this book, be sure to check out Philip Seymour Hoffman's portayal of the author in the 2005 film Capote. As the movie is not an adaptation of the book–and thus won't spoil your reading of it–its depiction of Capote's life and how he went about writing this book will only enhance your reading of it.)
- The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe (1979) – Another fantastic example of New Journalism*, this book chronicles the birth of NASA, the space program, and even the great Space Race. Wolfe interviewed astronauts (who, while in the military and in their pre-NASA days, were referred to as "fighter jocks"), their wives, and various other military and NASA personnel to compose this fascinating book. Even if you're not that interested in space flight or astronauts or NASA, Wolfe's authoratative and witty voice is sure to intrigue you and keep you turning page after page. This is a book, like In Cold Blood, this was created out of a copious amount of research, yet still reads like a novel, rather than as a textbook. Give the first chapter a quick read and see what you think. Chances are, you won't be able to put the book down. It's worth mentioning that the first chapter is highly praised and, I've been told, widely anthologized. (NOTE: Do not see the film adaptation until after you've read the book. Although it is closely tied to the book, it is significantly less satisfying than the book version. It's a difficult movie to follow unless you have background information from Wolfe's book, because much explanation of characters and places and events are left out of the movie. If you must watch anything, then check out the Discovery Channel's documentary series When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions. This program covers every single space mission from the birth of NASA to the present and includes interviews with almost all surviving astronauts and even some of the key players from Mission Control. This will prove a much more satisfying supplement to your reading of The Right Stuff.)
* Basically, New Journalism is a way of writing nonfiction material in an interesting, engaging way that reads like a fun fictional story and is loaded with the author's voice. See Joan Didion and Tom Wolfe for more examples of New Journalism.

Residents close to level crossings are concerned that more trains being planned as part of a major rail project will bring their communities to a standstill.
From March 2019 there will be two more trains per hour – up to one every 15 minutes – as part of a project to link Oxford with Bedford via Aspley Guise, Bow Brickhill and Woburn Sands.
The issue for concerned residents, who did not wish to be named, is that if level crossings are in operation more often, traffic will be bought to a standstill – forcing a huge detour.
The project team at Network Rail say no decisions have been taken to close crossings.
Last week, traffic surveys were conducted to identify how they can be "made safer" when the semi-fast East West Rail service is built.
Public meetings are being held on potential options for the crossings on Thursday, June 25, 6.30-9.30pm at Bow Brickhill Village Hall and Friday, June 26 4-8pm, at Woburn Sands Summerlin Centre.

There are so many rock music signatures from so many iconic musicians over the years. Think Mick Jagger's lips,Steven Tyler's microphone scarves, Angus Young's schoolboy outfit, Alice Cooper's makeup, and Gene Simmons' boots. I know there are more, but too many to name.
One of those signatures involves Rod Stewart's rooster head of spiky, blonde, gleaming, sugary hair. "Rod the Bod" as he has lovingly come to be known has had such a varied career.

Very realistic!!!I like this product and it was worth the price, I enjoy using it, though a beginner may not like this due to it's size. This would be perfect for the average user. A size queen may find this a bit too small for his or her tastes, though.
Nice size.
Pretty good quality for price.
Great suction cup.
Pretty good quality for price.
Great suction cup.
After taste and smell.
After taste and smell.
The best way to use this toy is vaginally. I like to thrust it in and out, but it is more girthy so women with small vaginas may not be able to take this as well. This could also be used anally, but since it's not a fully sanitizeable material I recommend using a condom with it if you switch it from anal to vaginal. This toy is defiantly suited for more advanced users, and I really don't advise a beginner to use this since it is pretty big. The best occasion to use this toy is when you want a really full feeling. You need to take caution when using this toy since it's so big. You don't want to accidentally tear anything. This toy really isn't 'travel friendly' since it's so large, and as soon as you see it you know right away what it is for.
Material / Texture
It has a light chemical smell, that seems to go away with time, but it may not be best for users who are sensitive to smells. It has a lot of drag to it, so you need to use lots of lube with it. It has a pretty bad taste, but it seems to go away with time, like the smell. The toy seems to attract dust and hair like there is no tomorrow. I recommend using a condom with this toy and washing the toy off before and after each time you use it. This is a realistic toy, and feels quite like a real penis (A Big penis, but a penis none the less) The texture does add to stimulation, since it's got 'veins' all over it. It is pretty firm, but has a decent amount of give to it. The texture would be more for beginners, but the size makes it more for an advanced user (Though the daring beginner could try it too!!)
Design / Shape / Size
I like the design a lot, the suction cup is great, and I have had it stuck to the same surface for two hours before, it even handles rough pushing, pulling, and the only way to get it up is by pulling on one side of the suction cup, releasing the pressure. It is a decently big toy, and it is meant to thrust in and out, or be put in a harness and used like that. It works great for both uses, and since it has a nice flared base, it can be used for anal (but, I recommend a condom be used). It worked great for thrusting and provided many orgasms, this is a great toy for an advanced user. The size is decent, not as big as some toys, but defiantly not a small toy, either. It is a good size for average users, but beginners and size queens may find this too big or too small. The toy has a very realistic look and even has veins and balls. The toy isn't all that great or suitable for travel since it is obvious what is for as soon as you see it.
I love the size of this toy, and the suction cup, since they work great together, but, I dislike the material it is made out of (PVC Sil-A-Gel, according to the package, but the website says rubber..Hmm) It is harness comparable and I assume it would work great for that purpose, as long as you had a strong enough harness.
Care and Maintenance
This toy can be cleaned with soap and water and is pretty easy to care for, though cannot be fully sterilized due to the material. I store it in the included bag, that most realistic Doc Johnson toys come with. It is compatible with Silicone and water based lubes only. I would also not place this beside any other toy without it's bag, since it may react.
The toy came packaged in a very nice box, with windows on the back that show off the red bag and the toy, and tells you about the shaft, balls, and suction cup. It's a very gorgeous box and is highly informational. I wouldn't use the box as a gift box, since it says realistic cock all over it. It could be used as a storage box though, if you don't have anybody snooping around.
Follow-up commentary 2 months after original review
I still like this, but I don't bring it out often, either. It's still in great condition and the bag holds it well.

Good review! I enjoyed reading it.
Vaginas are about the same size for most women... some women can handle larger objects not because they're bigger, but just because they may enjoy the sensations or being filled or etc.
but other than that, thanks for the review
Thank you so much for reviewing!
I like it!
nice review!
Too realistic for me but thanks for the review!
Great review!~

Settling in... we made another trip to Lowe's last night. Amazing the things you find that you 'need' at a hardware store. And once you buy all the stuff, you have to install it!
Unfortunately they didn't have 'picture rail hooks', so we had to order those online. I found these at House of Antique Hardware:
We also hung the woven wood Roman shades (overstock.com) in the Dining Room & Office, as well as more unpacking/orgainizing, caulking the tub, installing hooks on closet doors from Lowe's, etc. Nothing too exciting here. In fact, I'd be surprised if you are still reading! At this point (or probably before this point), the blog has become a diary of sorts. A place to get our thoughts down, and keep track of our progress. You could probably check-in once a week if you wanted to, and you wouldn't be missing anything. Anyway, thanks for reading. Here are some photos of the blinds in (hopefully) their final installation.
I would have posted the Office, but that's where all our unpacked boxes are being stored, and it's a real mess!

Is my heart going to explode? No? Oh….phew
Recently, I posted that I was a little concerned about my heart rate – especially since I'm
absolutely shite pretty new to this running business.
My heart rate had reached the 190s (and at one stage 200), and although I didn't feel hugely exhausted, it is obviously a sign that I'm
useless pushing myself out of my capabilitity zone.
After a bit of reading on maximum heart rates however, according to Heart.com , knowing your maximum heart rate is:
"…a useful tool to measure training intensities and typically is used to measure or predict the level of exercise. It's always good to measure your Max HR while doing exercises to ensure you stay within a safe range or use it to measure if the exercise is actually working well enough to raise your heart rate to acceptable ranges and levels."
Good to know!
The equation on their page for working our your maximum heart rate is:
WOMEN: 226 – your age = age-adjusted Max HR
So my maximum heart rate would be 202. Winner!
I still think it's a good idea not to reach that though. Wouldn't look that attractive half dead at the finish line in October…
