Difficulties with sexual arousal -- whether from loss of interest in sex or problems having orgasms -- are more common, and can be more complicated for women with diabetes.
Poor blood sugar control can drag down a woman's libido. So can depression, which is more common in women than in men. Some antidepressants may also dampen sex drive.
If you've been depressed or anxious for more than a couple of weeks, talk to your doctor. Counseling, medication, or stress reduction can help. If you are already taking a depression medication and think it may be lowering your interest in sex, talk to your doctor about finding one that is less likely to cause sexual side effects.
Some women with diabetes may need more time and stimulation to climax. Whether the cause is nerve damage or emotional issues, problems with sexual arousal are a good reason to make foreplay part of your sexual experience, if it isn't already.
Oral stimulation, sex toys, caressing, and cuddling can help arouse women and men, especially as they age. "Self-stimulation, or masturbation, can also help a woman get to know her body better," Roszler says.
If you are unable to climax because of significant nerve damage, counseling can help you learn to make sex an enjoyable experience without orgasm.
4 Tips for Better Sex
Along with strategies for specific sexual issues, these tips can help keep your sex life strong with diabetes:
- Limit alcohol. A little alcohol may increase sexual desire, but drinking can also make your blood sugar level drop quickly. If you drink alcohol, stick with one drink. Have it with a meal or snack to limit its effects on blood sugar.
- Be honest with your partner. Trying to deny or hide your diabetes only makes you more uncomfortable during sex, Sparling says. When she was dating, she made a point of getting to know boyfriends well before she got intimate with them, and they got to know her -- and her pump. "I never had a partner reject me because of diabetes," she says. "If anything, it brought us closer together."
- Nurture your relationship. Little things like taking walks, working out together, or even doing chores for each other are important to keeping a couple's romantic life fresh and loving, Roszler says. Conversely, neglecting your love life may damage other aspects of your relationship. "When couples have difficulty in the bedroom, it spreads throughout their relationship," she says. "If you're angry with your partner, you're less likely to do things to take care of him or her."
- Get help. If you are uncomfortable talking to your doctor about sex, ask for a referral to a gynecologist or other doctor with expertise in sexual issues. "If you don't get the answers or help you need, don't give up," Roszler says. "You can have a great sex life with diabetes."

A Hip Update and The Psoas Muscles
First and foremost, thank you to everyone who sent well wishes for my hip. As I've lamented before, I've had problems with my hip since high school and every now and again it starts to flare up. Given that I am a huge proponent of preventative care, when something isn't right, I don't wait until it gets worse. I look for an answer asap and that's exactly what I did this time around. So what happened? Here's an abnormally long explanation…
Earlier this year, the hip pain came back with vengeance and I went to a chiropractor who was recommended by a friend. That chiropractor was beneficial as he took x-rays and we found out that one leg was actually shorter than the other and I was given a shoe insert to help fix this problem. However, my following visits were a bit disappointing. I would literally be in his office for five minutes max and then I'd be sent on my way. Something didn't seem right.
Time went on and I picked up my usual routine – all running, no strength training or stretching. Bad Page.
After too many hours lugging around a gigantic bag across multiple cities and sitting in numerous planes for countless hours, my hip once again revolted, but this time it was something new. The sharp pain started on the right side of my lower back, wrapped around my hip and shot sharp pains all the way down my leg. Each day it seemed to get worse – I was unable to drive or sit at work without fidgeting to find a comfortable spot.
A professional triathlete that I know (he's an Ironman after all) recommended a chiropractor who works with professional athletes in the city and was conveniently located right near my office – score! I immediately made an appointment and committed myself to the "hurts so good" pain of ART (Active Release Techniques – basically a really deep a painful massage targeting specific muscles).
His office walls are covered in signed Ironman posters.
This makes me feel better and a sucker for their marketing.
I'll skip all of the stuff in between and tell you what I found out:
I'm weak and my psoas muscles are pissed.
If you don't know what the psoas muscles are, don't worry…neither did I.
As put by About.com, "The psoas major is a large muscle that attaches at the bottom of the thoracic spine and along the lumbar spine, then runs through the pelvic bowl, down over the front of the hip joint, and attaches at the top of the femur (thigh bone). It is the only muscle connecting the spine to the leg…We can't see it, and most of us can't flex or release it at will as we might a quad or bicep. It is a deep muscle, involved in complex moves and communications through the core and lower part of the body."
Apparently, what happened is my excessive forward motion activities (eh hem…running), increased travel and sitting in small spaces, and lack of stretching caused my psoas muscles to shorten up (i.e. tighten), inflate and cause an imbalance in my hip placement and the joints that were taking the load, thus, the pain. The solution? Decrease the inflammation, elongate the psoas muscles through ART and stretching certain muscles, get my pelvis back to where it should be, and time off to let the body calm down.
He also prescribed one more very important item: strengthen lateral movement muscles. As runners, our muscles are used to forward motion activities. This is great news for some muscles, but not so much for the lateral muscles that have important jobs of holding our hips in the right place and preventing injury. Turns out that my lateral muscles are extremely weak and I was given specific exercises to strengthen those to help prevent further hip issues.
Whew…so there you have it. A combination of ART, chiropractic care, strengthening, lots of ibuprofen, and ice. It's getting better, but I can still feel the pain. The doc said I could only do three more runs this week at an average pace, all no longer than four miles. Thus, I'll be getting in those four miles tonight along with some pool time — hoping to pick my Las Vegas training back up soon!
Tell me, are you big on preventative care? How's your lateral strength?
Happy Running!
P.S. PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT A DOCTOR AND AM PROBABLY NOT SAYING THESE THINGS IN OFFICIAL TERMS, LOGIC OR RECOMMENDING ACTUAL TREATMENTS. Just doing my best to reiterate what the doctor told me and share my two cents.

Climate change impacts on pest animals and weeds
Communicating Climate Change - Module 13Land & Water Australia. 2009. Climate change impacts on pest animals and weeds. [Online] (Updated February 6th, 2009)
Available at: http://lwa.gov.au/node/2821 [Accessed Wednesday 23rd of October 2013 01:16:14 PM ].
Product Information
Predicted changes in climate will affect the spread and competitiveness of pest animals and weeds in Australia. For example, in southern Australia, we can expect to see:
- more very hot days (in excess of 35°C)
- less incidence of frost
- less winter rainfall across all southern regions; spring rainfall is expected to be
- lower in south-eastern Australia, and autumn rainfall is more likely to be lower in the south-west of Western Australia
- more frequent droughts, particularly for the south-west of Western Australia
- increased seasonal variability, delivering above average rainfall
- higher risk of fire, with the warmer and drier conditions

Whites may not be such a good idea with animals. The white will be so dirty! That's just my two cents though!

I was reading this great story about a couple of soldiers in Iraq that saved 2 puppies and were able to bring them home with the help of this search and recue project/program.
Here's the story http://rescue.dogpile.com/jackandemma/ You use it just like google. Here's their "mission statement" We're on a mission to help pets in need. We call it our Search & Rescue program. Now when you search with Dogpile, a portion of the revenue generated will be donated to the pet charity ASPCA®.* The more you search, the more we'll rescue. It's that simple. Our goal is to raise $1 million for pet rescue by the end of 2009. Check it out. |
You can add me in anywhere too
Hi! :waving:
I've been home since Friday -- I'll post more details in the next day or so -- and I wanted to pop in and say I'm ready to go! :) I need yarn, though -- I only have the yarn for Snuggle Buddy in my stash. I figure this is a good opportunity for me to try out some acrylics other than the red heart super saver that is in my stash. Is anyone else buying yarn as you go? Any suggestions on brands or labels to check? I have Michael's, Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's stores close by, so I'll be watching their sales ads while I wait for my turn. |
Hobby Lobby sells a yarn called I Love This Yarn. It's the same price as RH Super Saver, has lots of yardage, and comes in lots of pretty colors, but it's much softer. I use it alot for Oddball knitting. Vanna's Choice is another soft yarn. It's more pricey, but is frequently on sale.
You can also get Caron's Simply Soft, and Red Heart has a Soft yarn now too. Both are around $2 a skein and lots of yardage as well.
How is that baby??:muah: |
My Prince went out to Marria today!:woohoo:
Thanks Marria! :heart: :hug: :heart:
I haven't been in the forum much lately, because I'm still sick. I had the flu last week, and was stuck in bed for about 4 days. I tried to get up and live Sunday, but soon collapsed back in bed again. Monday, I tried to teach piano lessons, but only made it through one lesson, before heading back home. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, so hopefully things will improve. I'll do my best to stay on top of things here. Here's the list of Snuggles right now: Puppy Love - being finished by KnittinMitchie Forever Friend - being finished by Secksiebrat Pampered Pets - with Spikey right now, and will go to jjminarcik to be completed Whiskers Wooby - ready to be finished by Mulderknitter His Majesty Shandeh - done sgtpam - working on it now Secksiebrat jdee Mulderknitter Sweet Princess Shandeh - done jdee - done Spikey Mulderknitter misha rf Her Highness Shandeh - done Spikey - done jjminarcik sgtpam Mulderknitter My Prince Shandeh - done Mulderknitter - done Marria misha rf trvlbuddy Furry Friends lizardknits jdee misha rf (need 2 more knitters) When each snuggle is finished, the last knitter can bind off stitches and donate the snuggle to an animal shelter in their area. That person can either start another snuggle, or mail the needles back to me. Thank you all! :muah: |
Thanks for the recommendations! It gives me a good place to start.
The baby is doing well; we've been home since Friday. Here's a picture of Nathan shortly after he was born, and with his brother and sister a few days later: He was born on Feb 4, 8 lbs, 3 ozs and 21 inches long. |
Pretty Pets is just about ready to go to the next knitter, so far I have:
McKane19020 JDee MishaRf I need 1 more knitter for this blanket. Please let me know if you want to join! I have knit this one with pink/violet variegated held with purple. |
Cute little guy Sakura-Panda. Congrats! And happy birthday Nathan!:balloons:
Hello fellow snuggle knitters,
I just wanted to let ya'll know that my husband and I are going on vacation starting Saturday, so I will not be home next week. Please feel free to skip me if my turn to knit comes up during that time. I'll be happy to switch places with that person when I get back home. :muah: ` |
:muah: I got Whiskers Wooby today! Thanks For the yarn!:yay: Paton's classic wool is one of my favorite yarns to knit with! It felts fantastically! Thank you!:woohoo:
I'm finally starting to feel closer to normal now. Still out of breath, though. I went to the doctor on Tuesday, and she gave me an inhaler to use. I hate those things! :pout:
I hope everyone else is doing well! :) By the way, if you have recently joined our snuggles project, feel free to share stories with us about your pets. Include photos, and I'll add your story and photo on our blog: http://oddballsnuggles.blogspot.com/ |
I got My Prince in the mail today and I am going to work on him tonight. Barring anything weird happening, I should be able to have my section done by the weekend and get it into the mail early next week. |
Yay!! Glad it got there and glad you like the yarn!!
funny though, I already have one skein of the same, but wanted to make felted slippers and didn't have enough. Now I do!:woohoo: |
Pampered Pets and Her Highness went out to jjminarcik today, just in time for me to receive Sweet Princess from jdee.
Thanks for the lovely journal, jdee! :muah: |
Have a nice vacation, Jennifer! Thanks for the cute journal! :)
Critter Cozy arrived today. I told DH what it was and what we were doing with it and his opinion is that we could buy plenty of blankets with the money we are spending shipping it from one person to another. :rofl: However, he is also indulgent and tomorrow he is taking me out to buy yarn for it.

What can you say about a good book that hasn't already been put into words? Truth is nothing, but since I love to read and I seldom mention books on this blog I thought I would devote at least one entry to the books and authors that I recommend everyone read. Warning: This Is Not A Fishing Post. If you don't read anything longer than a 250 word blog post then this might not be for you but if you do occasionally pick up a book, grab a beer, and sit on the deck then listen up.
First up is my all time favorite books by my favorite author; Ernest Hemingway. I have read nearly everything he has ever written including dispatches to the Toronto Star newspaper when he was just starting out. A few of those early writings were even laced with fly fishing the great north woods. The Sun Also Rises also has a bit of fishing but its mostly about Spain, Bullfights, and a group of ex-pats that go to party. Great read! and if you don't get it all in the first read then read it again... I have 4-5 times... I'm fairly dense.
If you haven't read any Robert Louis Stevenson then you are one depraved individual. What kid doesn't like pirates right? Anything by him is money.
Then there is the few that go along with him like James F Cooper or Jack London, both of which are great authors even if Cooper can be a bit long winded. I would also say you are safe with anything that Mark Twain penned. As a kid that spent a whole lot of time on the banks of the Mississippi, his book Life On The Mississippi opened up a whole new world for me when it came to understanding what this country was like back when Samuel Clemons was a riverboat captain. Roughing It wasn't that bad either.
Which brings me to a great work by one of our nations top exploring teams; Louis and Clark. The Journals Of these two men are a must in any woodsy persons library. If cant stand reading history (honestly I just worked with a guy that said he hated history....I was dumbfounded) then at least have it as a reference. I found it fascinating to hear how open and wild this country was only two hundred to three hundred years ago.
Bartrum is another more dry account of exploring this country before it was made a country and might be interesting to Southerns but L & C would be the most notable and easy to find choice.
If you are looking for a bit more of a political underlining theme then look know further than Ayn Rand. "Who Is John Galt?" If you don't know then pick up this book. It was written sixty or so years ago but could have been written yesterday. As a girl Rand escaped the communist revolution and saw first hand was a socialist society can do to the human spirit. A lot of schools and media outlets shy away from this book because of some of the politically unpopular views but I think every person should at least take a look. Its a big book - we are talking War and Peace big - but it is much easier to get through than Dickens.
Next is any first hand account of a WWI, WWII, Vietnam, or any war veteran. Seven Roads to Hell was picked because It Was Amazing. If you don't read history then you don't understand the sacrifices people went through to make this country great. I have many first hand accounts on war including many that come in this series of World War II Library books, some of which were written by German Panzer commanders and a Japanese Zero pilot. Do your country proud and pick up a war biography. You just might learn something.
When you are all done with that then relax with some easy reading. Louis L'amour is one of Americas gems. If you want an easy read and one that is about real men fighting for what the believe, then pick up any L'amour book. You will not only breeze through them but they will take you back to the times of Billy The Kid and Wild Bill Hikcok. If you don't feel like Clint Eastwood after sitting a spell with a Sackett novel then you are one hopeless soul.
If you have read any two of these book that I have mentioned then you might notice a theme. I like books that feature individuals with drive and determination. The heroes, be them real or fiction, sport courage and a willingness to do what needs to be done. You wont catch me reading the Notebook - though I hear its a good book its just not for me - but I have been known to pick up Walden from time to time, but then again there is a man sporting a sort of self sufficiency I hold in great respect.
If you don't make a pilgrimage to hunt those wild Russian trout that eat duck as an entree - Or if you do and need a good book for the plane ride - read at least one good book this summer. And no, The Orvis Fly Tying Recipe book does not count even if it is well illustrated.

Great job Joel. I'm surprised...we have the same taste in books and authors. I once had a complete collection of Louis L'amour then found out he had written many Hopalong Cassidy books under another name!. Also had the pleasure of meeting him a few years before he died. What an honor.

Hey Joel. Can go wrong reading. I generally have three going at the same time. One upstairs, one downstairs, and one on Audible for driving in the truck.

Howard, glad to hear it. I am envious, Louis is proving to be one of my absolute favorites.

We have developed this scheme to take advantage of the Governments Green Transport Plan, which is an initiative to promote Cycling to work, improve health and reduce Traffic congestion.
The scheme works by taking advantage of unique tax incentives and has benefits for both employer and employee. The scheme allows employees to benefit from a long-term loan of bikes and commuting equipment such as lights, locks, clothing and panniers completely tax-free.
Employers benefit from fitter, more punctual, more wide-awake staff. Employees benefit from better health and better bikes because their money goes further. With a budget of, say £400, an employee can now afford a bike, plus accessories, worth nearly £800.
The typical saving for an average taxpayer is between 38-45 per cent!

are you may have received a traffic ticket at some point in time. These
traffic tickets range from speeding to running a red light. The minor
tickets don't require you to appear in front of a judge, but to simply
pay the amount listed. It is possible to send a check through the mail,
but you are never guaranteed the check is going to arrive on time. If
the check does not arrive on time, you receive another ticket for more
money. This is why paying the ticket online is your best option, as it
saves you time and it ensure you the ticket has been payed. In order to
view all tickets and pay them online, visit the NJMCDirect.com website.
Once you arrive at the New Jersey Courts Direct website, click the
"Continue" option to be directed towards the page where you input all
information for your traffic ticket. You are required to enter in the
ticket citation number. This is listed at the top of your traffic
ticket. Enter this data and click the "Continue" option to view your
current fine and when it is due. If you are required to see a judge or
visit traffic court, this information is included also.
If you want to pay the ticket currently, select the pay ticket option,
then choose how you want to pay the ticket. Type in your credit or debit
card information, then submit your payment. After a few moments of
processing, the ticket is cleared and you're account is charged. A
receipt is emailed to your account, so you have physical proof of your
payment, should the court attempt to state you did not pay your ticket
on time.

American Reunion
There is nothing like a comedy that leaves you laughing so hard you can't breathe. Whether you are browsing the top 10 movies for date night, or looking for something to watch during a quiet night alone, you won't go wrong with American Reunion. Adam Herz, the writer for the previous American Pie movies, returns with another blockbuster hit. This time, Jim and his friends are all grown up and living their separate lives, but they make their way back to East Great Falls, Michigan for their high school reunion. Jim and Michelle are parents, Kevin is married, Oz is a sportscaster, Finch drives a motorcycle and Stifer has a whole new set of antics to get the gang together just like in the good old days. Directed by Jon Hurwitx and Hayden Schlossberg, and starring Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, and Seann William Scott, this movie has earned its place on the greatest movies list, right next to all the other American Pie hit films.

Smoky Cilantro Pesto Ingredients:
- 3 cups loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
- 2 small chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Cotija cheese
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 (8-ounce) beef shoulder center steaks, cut 1-inch thick
- 24 slices baguette bread, cut diagonally 1/2-inch thick
- 1/4 cup grated Cotija cheese
- 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
Prepare Smoky Cilantro Pesto:
Place cilantro, pine nuts, chipotle peppers, garlic, lime juice and black pepper in food processor container. Cover and process until finely chopped. Add the cheese and pulse on and off until just combined. With motor running, slowly add oil through opening in cover, processing until smooth.
Spread 1/4 cup pesto evenly onto beef steaks. Place steaks in glass dish. Cover and
marinate in refrigerator 15 minutes to 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining pesto.
Preheat charcoal grill to medium heat.
Place steaks on grill over medium, ash-covered coals. Arrange 12 bread slices around steaks. Grill steaks, covered, 11 to 14 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally. Grill bread slices 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly toasted, turning once. Remove bread slices from grill. Repeat with remaining 12 bread slices.
Spread 2 teaspoons remaining pesto on each toasted bread slice. Carve steaks into thin slices. Place beef slices evenly over bread slices. Top evenly with 1/4 cup cheese and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
Cook's Tip: 2 (8-ounce) beef shoulder top blade (flat iron) steaks or 4 beef tenderloin steaks, cut 1-inch thick, may be substituted for shoulder center steaks. Grill shoulder top blade (flat iron) steaks, covered, over medium, ash-covered coals 10 to 14 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 12 to 16 minutes) for medium-rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally. Grill tenderloin steaks, uncovered, over medium, ash-covered coals 13 to 15 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 11 to 15 minutes) for medium-rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally.
Cook's Tip: Grated Parmesan may be substituted for the Cotija cheese.
Cook's Tip: For less heat, remove seeds from chipotle peppers.

Hi everyone,I hope you're doing well. It has been a while since I posted something new. Many of you who follow me on twitter probably know that I have been thinking about stopping my blogging. It's just because I'm getting busy with my volunteer work and my kids after school activities. We also planned another huge project to be done for our life that will keep me extremely busy which I will probably share with you guys in the future. Thank you everyone for leaving messages on twitter, on my comment page, and my email to encourage me to post. I'm not sure what I will do. But for now, I'll try my best to blog. A big thank you to you all for the love, and for supporting my blog. Please, follow me on twitter-lifeintravel- which is the way that I announce my new posts. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead! In the meantime, please enjoy my new post xoxo

I hope you'll keep up with blogging. It does take a lot of one's time, that's true, but I would be upset not to see you update, so hopefully you'll be able to incroporate it into your life still.
Please don't stop blogging Hanh! I love your blog, it's one of my favorites. Maybe you should just update once a month or something – whenever you have time?

Cheap Flights Booking -
I understand if you are too busy to blog (life gets in the way sometimes!) and you should only keep posting if your heart is in it – if blogging becomes a chore it's better to stop or to take a break.
Please take your time to decide and don't feel pressured either way.
(Even if you posted only a couple of times a month that would be great!)
But if you want to totally stop blogging, please don't close the blog down completely as it would be wonderful for us to look back at your beautiful past outfits from time to time.
Best wishes to you and your family!
- Sara

Everybody's right, you shouldn't stop blogging! But that being said, you shouldn't blog to please others, but for your own entertainment. Just blog when you have the time to, and those who supports you will continue, whenever.
Love the Alex. McQueen bag btw!

Are you an idiot? I know that. I was just making a point. ( / lolnokidyouaredumb ; gives him a look) .. .. what? Do you take me for some kind of moron? I know a make-up company doesn't make shit like that. :l
Don't tempt me. I don't care if you've seen it or not; I'll strangle you.
Yes, I'm an idiot. That's why I'm a graduate student studying for my master's degree. It's great that your deductive skills were that good otherwise I would have had to explain everything. {pauses and grins} Oh wait. I did.

Kick off 20:00 BST at Wembley Stadium
International Match
England - Carroll 43'
Ghana - Gyan 90'
England striker Andy Carroll scored his first senior goal against Ghana and said that he wants the chance to get more for the Three Lions. Liverpool's £35m January signing was making his second appearance for Fabio Capello's men and fired in the opener just before half-time. A neat flick over the defence from Ashley Young was controlled into the path of the former Newcastle United man, and from 15 yards he made no mistake, rifling low past Blackpool keeper Richard Kingson with his trusty left-foot. "It was great to get the goal," said Carroll after the game. "The lads played well, we're obviously disappointed they scored in the last minute."He added: "I'm coming back fit now. Getting the goal proved I'm here and ready to score goals for England." It looked to be going according to plan with England heading for victory in a lively and enjoyable friendly encounter. But in injury time Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan twisted and turned his way into the area before curling beyond Joe Hart to level for Ghana on their first meeting with England. Downing, who was voted as man-of-the-match by England's official sponsor Vauxhall, was impressed by the performances of some of the players looking to make an impression on Capello."I think we played some good stuff, especially in the first half," the Aston Villa winger said."I think we proved we've got strength in depth. The players who came in played magnificently tonight."England's next game is the Euro 2012 Qualifier with Switzerland at Wembley on Saturday 4 June. Tickets are now on sale, click here.

Economists worry that if more Americans lose their homes and home prices continue to drop, people will lose confidence and spend less money -- creating a slow period for American companies, which could, in turn, lead to layoffs and further economic uncertainty.
Many of them have "subprime" mortgages -- loans made to people who often do not qualify for traditional (prime interest-rate) loans, usually because they have poor credit history. These loans are considered high-risk because there is a greater chance that borrowers wont pay them back.
The practice of subprime lending didn't really exist a decade ago, but became a $625 billion market by 2006, when it comprised 20 percent of the total mortgage industry.
The growth coincided with an unprecedented expansion in the housing market-- home prices increased by 80 percent between 2000 and 2006. With home values increasing, lenders were more willing to offer risky mortgages.
And as more lenders got into the business, they tried all kinds of incentives, including low teaser interest rates, to attract customers. The initial low rates of these adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) would later reset to a higher level, making it much harder to meet the monthly payments.
When the housing bubble collapsed in late 2005, and home prices started leveling off or dropping, more that 16 percent of subprime borrowers defaulted on their loans.
Through securitization, mortgages are not owed to a single lender like they were in the past. Instead, lenders resell their mortgages to larger banks, who bundle the smaller loans into more complex investments, called mortgage-backed securities.
The appetite for mortgage-backed securities grew on Wall Street, and a lot of buying and selling went on without government supervision. More than half of the original subprime loans were made by organizations that are outside the government's regulatory system.
Securitization is a marvelous thing. It has lubricated the market and made mortgages more affordable, Princeton Economics professor Alan Blinder wrote in the New York Times. But securitization sharply reduces the originators incentive to scrutinize the creditworthiness of borrowers.
When the subprime mortgage market began to unravel in late 2006, several of the worlds largest banks were left with bundles of mortgages quickly losing value. The stock market plunged and major banks, including Merrill Lynch and Citigroup, announced billions of dollars in losses.
In October, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson announced a cooperative deal with banks and lenders that would allow some low teaser rates to stay fixed for up to five years. This would give up to two million borrowers more time to pay off their loans.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Central Bank, called the Federal Reserve, is trying to clean up the mortgage industry.
Unfair and deceptive acts and practices hurt not just borrowers and their families, but entire communities, and, indeed , the economy as a whole, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said in a statement. They have no place in our mortgage system.
Critics say the government's response does not do enough because it only helps people who wont be able to pay when their interest rates go up while doing nothing for people who already cannot pay back their loans.
Michael Shea, director of the Chicago-based housing advocacy group Acorn Housing says the proposal is bowing to big investment banks.
"This crisis is likely to be the worst we've seen since the Depression, but [the plan] is only dealing with the easiest slice of borrowers," Shea told BusinessWeek.
"What they are proposing won't help a single soul who is currently delinquent on their mortgage or facing foreclosure. We need bold proposals like the ones set by FDR during the Depression."
"My view of the economy is that the fundamentals are strong, that we've had strong growth for a reason: that we're competitive, we got flexible workplace, that we kept taxes low, exports are up," President Bush said in a December news conference.
Advisers say the president may announce an economic stimulus plan when he gives his State of the Union Address on Jan. 28.

Pope "Siting"
By Leon Suprenant | March 14, 2008
In case our readers haven't seen it yet, I thought I would recommend www.Pope2008.com –the National Catholic Register's website/blog in anticipation of the Pope's visits to the U.S. and Australia.
This site has a lot of good information on it, from commentary and articles concerning what the Pope will talk about when he's here, to very practical items concerning the papal Masses and local transportation. Columnist Tim Drake will continue to provide updates on this site in the days and weeks leading up to the Holy Father's visit.
If you get tired of the secular media's coverage (or lack thereof), go to www.Pope2008.com to stay up-to-date on Pope Benedict's visit.

It was in Blanco in 1860. Sisterdale was part of Blanco County (the upper/western part) until Kendall was organized. In early 1861, the residents of Comfort (then part of Kerr) petitioned the Texas Legislature to "move" Sisterdale and Boerne into Kerr in order that Comfort could remain the county seat. The petition seems to have been ignored. Notify Administrator about this message?

Greetings, brave adventurers! So you are looking for uncharted territory to claim and conquer, eh? You've already climbed the highest peaks and had lunch in the craters of the moon. So, where do you go next to do your exploring? Look no further than this hidden gem. This is a land of mystery and danger, a land of wonder and fright, a land with Tyrannosaurs, tentacled creatures, and scariest of all....toll booths. Behold, Delaware!
Jasper Dash and the Flame-Pits of Delaware is part of M.T. Anderson's Pals in Peril series, a highly absurdist take on children's detective and adventure series of decades past, the most obvious being Nancy Drew, Goosebumps, and Tom Swift. The title character of this particular book is the star of his own fictional series that has fallen into obscurity. Just looking at Jasper Dash, you can see that he's from another time. Aviator goggles perched atop a perfectly parted swath of blonde hair. And that's when he opens his mouth and 19th-century slang falls out: "Hello, chums...What-ho and tippy tippy dingle and all."
Captain John Smith's voyages throughout the new world did not end--or, for that matter, begin--with the trip on which he was captured and brought to the great chief Powhatan. Partly in an effort to map the region, Smith covered countless leagues of the Chesapeake Bay and its many tributary rivers, and documented his experiences. In this ambitious and extensively illustrated book, scholars from multiple disciplines take the reader on Smith's exploratory voyages and reconstruct the Chesapeake environment and its people as Smith encountered them. (From the publisher's description)
"Born at sea in the teeth of a gale, the sailor was a dog. Scuppers was his name." A dog that has always wanted to go to sea finally realizes his dream. Join Scuppers as he makes his first voyage. This classic read-aloud never ages and will be wanted again and again.
"Every morning we'd wake up far away from where we'd gond to sleep." For Captain Madsen's wife and four kids, their four-masted boat is home as they sail around the world. Based on the family's true adventures, from 1896 to 1910.
From her apartment in the big city, Jenny writes a letter to her just-moved-away friend, Maria. She imagines an amazing journey. Her little boat, with its watermelon-colored sail and leopard carving, at last arrives at Maria's tropical home after many adventures.
"Avi!" that was the nickname his twin sister called him when they were small. That was enough of a name for Avi (pronounced Ah-Vee) Wortis then, and it's still the name that he writes under today.
Avi came from a family who were passionate about radical politics and the arts. Family members in New York and Boston argued all the time, but in a loving way, so any dinner table discussion might turn into a free-for-all of exciting ideas.

Finding My Way: Another Personal Story (Part II)
When I arrived in Madison, only 186 out of 40,000 – 50,000 of the students were Asian -that didn't count foreign students. By then, I had regained some pride in being Asian. (Before I'd wanted to be white.) What radicalized me was how the police treated the protesting students. You ended up protesting because the police were beating the sh*t out of the students. I began to read up on the war and I realized we weren't being told the truth.
My consciousness was growing all over the place. I was a sponge, soaking up so much. I led two distinctly different lives. Madison was the probably the best place to become politically educated because everything was happening. I started the Asian American organization on campus. My white friends would say, "Why are you starting that group? You are American like me." I would say, "That's because you know me, if you didn't know me you would treat me like I'm a foreigner." I had heard them talking about 'foreigners.' Everyone knew me as head of the Asian American group. I used to be out there making speeches about how Vietnam was a racist war. Then, in afternoons or evenings, in bathrooms, I was meeting closeted gay man. Men's library bathrooms were places where closeted gay men met. Nobody was out of the closet. I didn't go to a gay bar until 1973 when Kenny dragged me, and Kenny was not even gay. We got there and the men weren't in dresses.
Even though I was in the closet and didn't tell anybody, I didn't stress out. I knew I wouldn't tell my parents, so that wasn't an issue. Once I began going to gay bars, I realized I needed to come out to other demonstrators. There weren't many of us, people who were political and lesbian or gay. You didn't get a sense you could talk about it freely. You got the sense you were in two different worlds. The people in the anti-war movement were pretty much white accept for me and a few other people. Then in the end, in late evening, I was going to gay bars every night. Most of the guys were white and didn't want a foreigner so I hung out with the African American and Latino gay and lesbians. I decided there was no way I could fully come out in Madison. I wanted to do progressive work. People were fine that I was gay, but they were just polite. It was their own homophobia playing out.
There was a whole movement that supported looking at alternative values and overthrowing the establishment. It wasn't just being anti-establishment, it was overthrowing the establishment. It was a very exciting time to be in. Even though there were conservatives in power, there were enough radicals in place to counteract that. I got involved in the anti-war movement, and the local labor movement. At that time, Gardner's bread workers were on strike; Holmes Tire workers were on strike. What happened was a lot of people involved in the anti-war movement were connecting with local people. I learned that things were interconnected. It was not just about the war over there, but how people were treated here.
I know that our student groups wanted to support local workers. Madison was one of the three college campuses supporting the war through defense contracts. University of Michigan at Ann Arbor was the second institution and the third may have been Princeton. Intense research was happening on campus's, on computerizing the war. I didn't finish school right away and moved to San Francisco. I came back to Madison to finish my degree later. I went to San Francisco for two reasons. 1) I wanted to work in China town and 2) I wanted to come out (this was before we knew about AIDS). It was a 1 ½ - 2 year vacation. I was on new turf. I went out in evenings and met people. My first jobs were with gay employers. I submerged myself in the gay community. I also tried to work in Chinatown. When they found out I was gay, I was kind of blacklisted. Someone once said, "In some ways he is more politically on target than anyone else. Too bad he's gay."
One of the students I had worked with in Madison came to New York. He was a historian and came to New York to become a professor. He became a professor in Asian American studies at Hunter. I co-taught a course in Asian American studies. We had 20 students and broke them into 3 work groups. That was my introduction to New York. I had a ball! I had quite a few jobs after that. After I worked in the public school system for a year, I was offered an opportunity at Project Reach, and saw it as an opportunity to start my own program. The director of Project Reach at that time was my classmate at Madison. I had heard of Project Reach before. Everyone knew it dealt with Chinese gang groups. I ended up talking him into hiring me to run the program. They do a lot of good social service work for Chinese Americans. The director knew I was gay. Initially, it was only a counseling program. In the summer program, I started to do anti-discrimination training. I included other young people of color. It made sense to do lesbian and gay stuff too.
The AIDS epidemic began as we know it in 1981. For myself, when I first heard people were dying, it was gay white men, not good but at least I felt it didn't include me. Four years later two Pilipino men were infected and died. Everybody that I know that was diagnosed with HIV AIDs died within two years. It was really scary. All these guys, it was unbelievable how many people were passing away. It didn't hit too close to home for me. Most of my closest friends were O.K. Every time I had a cold, I would ask my brother [a doctor] if he thought I had HIV. He would say no. He never said get tested. He had treated me for an STD. In the gay male subculture, there were no standards. We weren't accepted anyway so it didn't matter. Some gay men who were catching this disease, I heard on the news, had 1000 partners in one year. Well, in San Francisco, in a bath house, I would play with four to five guys. Even you added it up, even five people a week is 250 people. And I thought Uh-oh. I fit the profile - that also made me not want to get tested.
In 1983/1984 I had two incidents that happened that were unexplainable. I got very sick and dehydrated and had to go to the hospital. And, I got a really bad cold. My brother said it's O.K., it's just 'walking pneumonia.' My brother was in denial. I ended up going to get tested. I was seeing this guy who was really in the closet. I didn't start using protection until 1984. I had been with this guy for two years. We had played without protection, and then in 1984 we thought we better start using protection. My friend decided he would go in with me. We went in together. Fortunately he came out with negative result. I tested positive. It was 1992.
In terms of my daughter, Alice, she is 28 now. You know when I raised her with Steve, I think what was most important for us, that she be in as multiracial community as possible. I had never thought of raising a white child. I had always worked with children of color. When we started raising her it was pretty clear that she kind of took a liking to me. Steve was more of the disciplinarian. I was all about giving her space and decision-making. I always wanted to expose her to as much as possible so she could make her own decisions. Also I wanted her to be critical because there is so much propaganda out there. Her being a white child, blond hair, blue eyes, she fits the stereotype of the attractive female. As she was growing up, I realized she had every right to have black role models and Asian role models. I think there were times I scared her, from my own anger about racism. She didn't understand it because she didn't experience it the way I did. When she was 13, she asked me," what would you do if you if I told you I was pregnant?" I said, "I don't know Alice, let's wait till you come home and tell me." I wanted her not be afraid to tell me something. I wasn't going to give her the answer. She would have to think about it. I always believed that by her and I communicating in an ongoing sort of way, she would develop a complex sense of the world. I always gave her the sense that I trusted her to make good decisions.

Spanish press praise return to form
Published : 15 Jun 2012 09:16:53Rss feed
Spain's press on Friday welcomed the 4-0 demolition of the Republic of Ireland and in particular Fernando Torres' performance up front after criticism of coach Vicente Del Bosque for starting the first group game without a recognised striker.
"Spain finally has a number nine for the Euros," said sports daily Marca. "Torres seized the opportunity that Del Bosque gave him to score twice and and as a result close the debate on La Roja's attacker."
El Pais headlined its article on the game "Torres takes command".
The AS daily celebrated a return of a "champion's attitude" among the players.

I've got two cats and a dog and have been struggling to find the best insurance for them all. One of my cats is quite old and the dog is accident prone! I tried the normal price comparison sites but they seemed to be way off the mark when it came to selecting the right policy for my pets. I stumbled across www-petinsurance.com and thought I'd give them a go and sure enough they found the right policy for each of my pets and at the right price, which is very important especially when you're insuring three pets not one!
So if your unhappy with you existing policy and what a change then go to this site they are one of the best price comparison sites I've ever used. Even if you've got an existing policy just have a look and compare, you'll be amazed on how much you can save on your policy!!
I am writing this as I've just re-newed my pet insurance and I have honestly been searching and searching for a good site to help me find the best pet insurance for my dogs!
What a mine field it is...lots of comparison site that are really complicated and difficult to use. This sort thing isn't my bag as I'm not very good with computers at the best of times!!
However I found this really good site called www-petinsurance.com it was so easy to use, no long forms to fill out just instant results on line. I got my pet insurance sorted within 15mins.
So give them a go! Their email address is: www-petinsurance.com

I've looked high and low for a good cost comparison website for pet insurance, and this is it! This website compared my dog insurance and came out with the best dog insurance. This website seems to find the best deals. I've given this site 5* as it fully deserves that mark:-)
Take a look at their site; www-petinsuance.com
