Historical Context
The Cold War in the 1980s
Ender's Game takes place in Earth's future, one in which all countries are cooperating together to save the planet from alien invasion. Nevertheless, the novel does suggest that the international conflicts of the twentieth century will not be forgotten, as an American hegemony (a group of nations dominated by one) will be pitted against a Second Warsaw Pact, led by the Russians. In this world, Russia rules Eurasia from the Netherlands to Pakistan. Peter believes that Russia is preparing for a "fundamental shift in world order." Once the bugger wars are over, the North American alliances will dissolve, and Russia will take over. This conflict may have seemed inevitable in the early and mid-1980s, when the novel was written. Since the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union had engaged in a "cold war" which involved military buildups but no direct military confrontations. Almost forty years later, this conflict showed few signs of being resolved peacefully.
The two sides of the Cold War were led by the democratic United States and the communist Soviet Union. The Warsaw Pact, signed in 1955, established an alliance among the Soviet Union, Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Romania. It served to defend the group against any potential military or economic threats from the West. It also strengthened the Soviet Union's hold over its Eastern European satellites and...

Literary Techniques
Most of Ender's Game is told by a third person narrator with the exception of the discussions between the military men. At the beginning of each chapter, the reader is allowed to eavesdrop on these conversations as though listening to a wiretap. Only the dialogue is provided, set off from the rest of the text in boldface type. The speakers are nameless at first, but later identify themselves. These conversations serve almost as a Greek chorus, letting the reader know what is coming. After the first chapter when Ender is separated from his family, the action in the chapters alternates between Ender and Valentine/Peter. The reader is made a participant in the military secret-keeping because the reader has information denied to the children. Because the reader has access to Ender's thoughts, which the military does not, the reader understands Ender's decisions made with only the input allowed by his military keepers. Ultimately, this arouses the reader's compassion for the child groping to do the right thing without moral guidance or practical knowledge.

Ideas for Group Discussions
Ender's Game reflects many fears and concerns prominent in today's society: the effects of forced birth control, unbridled military power, governmental secret-keeping in the name of national security, lack of moral standards, and the abuse of innocent children.
1. Ender is brought up in a nonreligious household, and his ethical training is left to educators. Do you think that this was a mistake on his parents' part? How do you think Ender's character would have been changed if his parents had chosen to give their children private moral instruction?
2. Ender's parents are easily manipulated because of their guilt at leaving their religions and their families to gain the benefits of a two-child society. What result do you think that forced birth control would produce in society? What type of pressure do you think a two-child society would put on non-conforming couples?
3. Clearly, the military men are convinced that their end justifies the means, even though they are aware that the Battle School engages in mental and physical abuse of children aged 6 to 16. How do you think that their outlook would change if they were forced to disclose this abuse instead of cloaking it in terms of "national security"?
4. The military men in Ender's Game are clearly keeping secrets, sometimes simply because they are conditioned not to tell. When, if ever, is a government justified in keeping secrets from its people? What...

Social Concerns
The major social concern in Ender's Game is the danger of reliance on a military force, even if it is made up of allied troops from every country, because winning at all costs is not moral. One sub theme of the novel is the danger of state-enforced population control which undermines religion as a social force. Another is (in 1985!) the danger of the "information highway" being used by computer-literate demagogues as a means of shaping and controlling public opinion.
Andrew ("Ender") Wiggin is a "third," a child conceived by parents in defiance of strict population control ordinances that limit couples to two children and deny civil rights to any further offspring. Ender's parents are allowed an exception to the rule because top officials in the International Fleet (I.F.) that protects Earth from an alien species known as the "buggers" are convinced that they have the genetic capacity to produce a military genius to fight these aliens. Ender's older brother and sister had almost measured up to the standards set for the military genius desired by the Fleet, the one deemed a shade too cruel, the other a bit too passive. Officials figured the third child might just have the right mix — hence permission for Ender's conception. There is, however, a price. Ender is monitored and tested by the Fleet almost from birth. When he is found acceptable, his parents must fulfill their agreement and send Ender off to the Fleet's military school at age six. At...

Topics for Further Study
In her review of Ender's Game in Fantasy Review, Elaine Radford criticizes Card, claiming that he fashioned Ender's character after Adolf Hitler's persona. Card refutes Radford's analysis in a response published in the same issue of the magazine. Read both articles. Then write an essay agreeing with either Radford or Card. Your defense should provide solid evidence from the reviews and from the novel itself.
Research project: Read the book The Psychopathic God: Adolf Hitler by Robert G. L. Waite, to which Elaine Radford refers in her review of Ender's Game in Fantasy Review. Locate information related to the psychology of mass murderers. How does Ender Wiggin compare to Hitler and other mass murderers identified in history? Include a chart or other visual presentation describing the results of your research.
You are a news broadcaster living in the time after Ender's victorious battle (assuming that news broadcasters would exist). Choose a partner to play Ender and role play an interview with him. Prior to the interview, prepare your questions and let your partner know the kinds of questions you will ask without giving him or her the specific details. Your partner should also prepare for the interview so that he or she can play a credible Ender. Videotape your interview and share it with the class.

Literary Precedents
When reading the chapters about the Battle School, the reader cannot help but think of the boys in Golding's Lord of the Flies (1954). Like Golding's boys, the trainees at the Battle School are not demon-children, but human children acting in accordance with their instincts rather than an externally imposed code of ethics. On a lighter note, the video war games recall the motion picture The Last Starfighter (1984), based on a science fiction book by Alan Dean Foster, where an Earth boy is recruited by aliens to be a starfighter based on his winning an arcade video game placed by the aliens.
(The entire section is 101 words.)
Ender's Game is the first in a series of books about the wandering of Ender Wiggin and his sister Valentine. In accordance with the faster-than-light-travel convention adopted by Card, Ender and Valentine's space travels slow down their aging process. For example the two-year trip to the first colony takes two years by their biological time, but fifty earth years pass. This allows Ender and Valentine incredibly long lives relative to the passage of time on Earth. Their further wanderings are chronicled in Speaker for the Dead (1986) and Xenocide (1991).

Media Adaptations
Mark Rolston narrates Ender's Game in an abridged three-hour audiotaped version adapted by Audio Renaissance Tapes, Inc., in 1991.
Card has authored a screenplay based on Ender's Game; as of 1998 he was working with Chartoff Productions and Fresco Pictures to produce the film.
(The entire section is 42 words.)
What Do I Read Next?
Card's Speaker for the Dead, published by Tor Books in 1986, follows Ender's Game as its sequel. Ender, still dealing with evil and empathy, tries to find a suitable home for the surviving eggs from the queen of the species he destroyed while trying to prevent the extermination of another intelligent race. This novel also won the Nebula and Hugo Awards. Tor Books published Xenocide, the third novel in Card's Ender series, in 1991. Ender works to save his adopted world from a deadly virus. The final novel in Card's Ender series, Children of the Mind, finds Ender taking a minor role. Published by Tor Books in 1996, the story revolves around a mission to stop a deadly virus from destroying Earth. Two beings built from Ender's consciousness and memory, named after his brother and sister, play the lead characters.
Card demonstrates his use of symbolism and allegory in his "Tales of Alvin Maker" series, a fantasy series set in a magical America. The first novel in the series, Seventh Son (1987), tells the story of the seventh son of a seventh son, who possesses the potential to be the defender of evil through his magical powers. This first novel of the series deals with the issue of religion in America.
Further volumes in Card's "Tales of Alvin Maker" series include: Red Prophet (1988), which focuses on the treatment of Indians; Prentice Alvin (1989), which deals with issues of black slavery; Alvin...

The pursuit of Chandler is a complicated matter
Okay, here we go, another five days off between games. Nice! Sure, there's a rather busy weekend ahead with stories to write and people to see but no games and that's not a terrible thing.
My head hurts
Spent more than a few minutes trying to figure out the cap machinations that would make it possible for Wilson Chandler to sign here this season – if, in fact, he's not simply using the Raptors for leverage – and I'm glad they invented Tylenol.
All the Raps can do this year, most likely, is get to about $4.3 million in cap space, get Chandler to sign an offer sheet at that number and then grumble when Denver matches so you can probably discount that.
Let's put it this way: There are three best-case scenarios that have to happen for a signing for this year to occur:
If – BIG IF – they can find someone in the next couple of days to take Leandro Barbosa off their hands for nothing in return they can likely shed the $7 million or so to make an offer that at least makes Masai out in Denver go "um, er, ah" and gives Toronto a chance. But – BIG BUT – finding that team is virtually impossible because none of the teams with cap space right now to do it probably have the desire to make the deal.
That leaves …
Hoping Chandler and the Nuggets can't figure out a long-term deal and he signs for just the rest of this season and becomes an unrestricted free agent in July, when Toronto will have oodles of money to spend on him, or someone else.
Of course, the other hope is that Chandler could decide to sign here for the rest of this season using some of Toronto's approximate $2.5 million left on the mid-level exception and use the final 33 games or so as a mutual get-to-know-you period.
What happens?
I wish I knew.
I do know Toronto put on the full court press with Chandler yesterday, squiring him around the city and the arena, letting him meet with poobahs, Henchmen and players and making him feel at home.
Whatever happens, I'm hearing, is going to happen quickly, this should all be resolved by the middle of next week at the latest.
We know Chandler's a good basketball fit, a long wing shooter who would instantly become one of Toronto's key pieces.
The Raptors have liked him since the summer, they may know by Sunday whether that feeling is mutual.
Getting what he wants
All season, Dwane's been talking about getting the Raptors to up their toughness quotient so teams around the league have more respect for them.
Well, Detroit might.
That was the toughest game they've played in a while and at moments, Pistons coach Lawrence Frank was incensed.
You had Jerryd Bayless putting a shoulder in to Greg Monroe and getting a flagrant foul; you had Jamaal Magloire horse-collared someone under the basket (might have been Monroe again, Dwane was blocking my view) and the Raptors generally comported themselves as a gaggle of crankypants.
No idea if it'll be a consistent trend – it hasn't so far – but for last night at least, they were tough guys. Good to see.
Give him credit
About midway through the first quarter, DeMar is crossing the lane to take a pass and Ben Gordon buries a shoulder into him, knocking DeRozan back about six steps and almost knocking him right over.
Now, it's not a good thing that a guy as smallish as Gordon could so easily knock DeRozan so off balance (the kid needs to live in the weight room in the summer and become physically stronger) but DeRozan's reaction was heartwarming to his coaches.
I know they feared that would be enough to make DeRozan shy away from contact for the rest of the night but he didn't, he was as aggressive in the lane late in the game as he was early in it and, yes, it's a small step but an important one.
And now, the rest of the story, as the man used to say:
This would be apropos of nothing but since Bob Seger made a special guest appearance in the IGBT last night, why wouldn't we pay homage to the other Detroit music genre.
Is Marvin Gaye's Heard It Through The Grapevine right at the top of the best Motown songs ever list?
I could make that case.
Whaddya think?
No, the game story did not include a quote from Leandro Barbosa, nor did he do any TV or radio.
Simple reason.
Dude had a plane waiting for him and a scheduled 10 p.m. departure for all-star weekend back home in Brazil.
He was in such a hurry that he was about halfway up the tunnel to the locker room when the final buzzer went; if you think he moves quickly on the court, don't think I've ever seen him go as fast as he did to get out of there.
He's a huge family guy and I guess if you're going to another continent for the weekend, no sense wasting any time.
Yes, please.
Here would be nice, give me something to putter around on during the flight this afternoon.
Much obliged.
So, I hear Barack Obama's having a little $35,000 a plate fund-raiser down in Orlando tonight which in and of itself is hardly a big deal; guy's gotta make some cash to combat those other fellows who seem to be spending the entire pre-election period debating each other, which can't be a wise move since people tend to watch those debates.
Anyway …
Get this: The fund-raiser is AT VINCE CARTER'S HOUSE!
Yeah, old HWSNBN runs in some big-time circles it seems and all I wonder is how come Canada Post didn't get the invite to me in time.
Bit stressed this morning by having to a rent a tux before my flight but a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do, I guess.
(I keed, I keed).

Camera+ helps you take better pictures, add effects, and more, with a tool layout that helps you get the look you want quickly.
The app offers several options for making unique-looking images out of photos on your camera roll, or you can snap pictures from within the program using Camera+ extra tools. When taking a picture, you can use a 6x digital zoom for close-up shots, a stabilizer that automatically takes the shot when your hand is most stable, and a grid overlay so you can line up your shots as straight as possible.
Once you have the perfect shot, Camera+ gives you several ways to enhance the image. Manage your images using the Lightbox -- a backlit display area that makes it easy to find the images you want to work with. Use digital-camera-like scenes to apply common camera effects in specific situations like simulated flash, sunset, backlit images, and portraits. You also can crop your images to your specs or select from several standard sizes.
To add effects to your images, you can pick from several color and retro effects divided up into categories that are helpfully laid out on the screen so you can preview the results before committing to an effect. Finish up by selecting a border for your image. When you're finished you can share your work on Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, or via e-mail from within the app.
Camera+ was one of the earlier photo-editing apps at the App Store (originally released in 2010), and with several updates, many new tweaks and enhancements have been added to the app. Recent additions include a front flash that illuminates the screen momentarily so you can take pictures at night with your front-facing camera. There's a new horizon level tool so you never take crooked shots. You also can now get exposure info in real time on ISO and shutter speed. Developers Tap Tap Tap seem to always be at work on the next update, so expect more changes and new features to come.
One thing Camera+ doesn't have is the ability to see live previews of effects before you take your picture. While it's not a huge problem, many newer photo-editing apps let you see effects and virtual lenses in real time, then let you edit further once the picture is taken if you want.
Still, Camera+ is a solid image-editing tool that makes creating cool-looking shots easy and all the upgrades since its release mean it has tons of useful tweaks. Anyone who wants well-rounded photo effects in an image-editing tool should try this app.

Interview Details
Filled out online app; called the same day. First step in the process was a screening call. If you pass that step, they invite you in for an informative meeting with multiple candidates (in my case, 2 others) and three different interviews.
Those interviews were tough. Each person comes in with a different personality and tries to throw you off guard. For me, this went well and I was invited back for the last step.
The last step in the process is being brought into their office to review what you will be doing on a daily basis. After the walk-through, you have a 30 minute interview with the director. Again, tough questions. You cannot "BS" your way through the interviews; Cambridge is checking for inconsistency.

His interview was very intense and even teetered toward unprofssional at times.
Interview Question – How was the past interview on a scale from 1-10. Very bizarre Answer Question
Reason for Declining – The vibe I got from the last 2 interviewers was not good. Does not look like they have a solid plan for the future and I dont think it is a stable department. Friend who works there says that they plan to automate everything and the department will be defunct in 3 years

Should the Supreme Court Overturn Proposition 8? >
The Equal Protection Clause Guarantees the Right to Marry
Prop 8 subverts the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment
March 4, 2013
The constitutional case for marriage equality need not go further than the sweeping and universal text of the Fourteenth Amendment's equal protection clause: "No State shall ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Ratified in 1868, the clause wrote into the Constitution the ideal of equality first laid out in the Declaration of Independence.
In 2008, however, California voters passed Proposition 8, a ballot initiative restricting the right to marry to opposite-sex couples only. Both the federal district court and the court of appeals ruled that Prop 8 was unconstitutional, for reasons ranging from the violation of a fundamental right to the impropriety of removing rights/benefits once granted.
[See a collection of political cartoons on gay marriage.]
The Cato Institute joined the Constitutional Accountability Center on an amicus brief supporting marriage equality that focuses on the equal protection clause. As the text and history of the Fourteenth Amendment plainly show, the clause guarantees every individual—whether black or white, man or woman, gay or straight, native-born or immigrant—equality under the law, including the legal right to marry the person of one's choosing.
The breadth of the equal protection clause was no accident. It's clear from the drafting history that the Fourteenth Amendment's framers were determined to eliminate more than simply the burdens of slavery. They wrote the constitutional guarantee broadly to ensure, for example, that white supporters of the Union in the South, as well as Asian immigrants in the West, were protected from arbitrary and invidious discrimination.
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Should Gay Marriage be Legal Nationwide?]
The broad and sweeping guarantee of legal equality was understood at the time to secure and protect the equal rights of all individuals. The framers of the Fourteenth Amendment understood marriage to be a personal right that, when established by a state, must be made available on an equal basis to all.
Prop 8 denies gays and lesbians the liberty to marry the person of their own choosing, places a state badge of inferiority on same-sex couples' loving relationships and family life, and perpetrates an impermissible injury to these individuals' personal dignity. It thus subverts the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment and is an affront to the inalienable right to pursue one's own happiness that has guided our nation since its founding.

Tayshaun is the ideal small forward for this team. He's not athletic like Rudy but he can get to his spot on the floor (both offensively and defensively). He's not going to give you the highlight reel play like Rudy but he makes the right play. He's not a volume shooter like Rudy but he's an efficient shooter (7 out of 11 shots made last night). He's not a "matador" defender like Rudy but actually gives you true defensive effort. He may never make Sportscenters top 10 plays like Rudy but that's okay. Those are usually highlight plays anyway. As a fan I prefer winning plays. If you prefer style over substance then you'll probably never agree with this trade. If you prefer substance, then you'll have to agree that this team and this season just got a lot better. Go Grizz!!!
I agree. I think Prince is a great fit for this team and Davis has great potential. Smart trade.

Hi, my name is Lyndsay Billington, I'm 17 years old and I just had my 1st child in January. I've had terrible issues with my teeth for many years. I have molars so crooked that instead of being vertical they are slanted, which causes a lot of pain now that my wisdom teeth are coming in. Due to this crowding, I have cavities that can't be filled because my teeth are blocking them. I have 2 teeth in the front that are high up. I have been told for years by the dentist that I need braces for all those reasons so I can keep my teeth, but I haven't gotten them because my family has never been able to afford getting me braces. It would be a blessing to get help with this because my whole life I've wanted a pretty, straight, white smile.

The Sabres' Inconvenient Truth
Monday, December 7th, 2009 9:31 pm
You would be certainly be forgiven for missing it, especially if you don't watch hockey with one eye cocked at the Sabres bench, but Jhonas Enroth was in Buffalo for the team's pair of games hosting Montreal and the Rangers. Of course, like 23 of the previous 26 games this season, there was little for the backup goaltender to do but fist bump his teammates at intermission and look stylish in a team wool cap. Therefore it has been all too easy to remain blissfully ignorant to the fact that there is an achillies heel to this very talented, very scrappy team that could destroy not only our pie-in-the-sky dreams of a Stanley Cup parade down Delaware Avenue, but of a playoff appearance altogether: our backup goaltending situation.

Navarre's Raiders will host the Milton Panthers at 7 p.m. tonight at Bennett C. Russell Stadium in a dress rehearsal for the 2012 high school football season.
The preseason "kickoff classic" is one of several being played around Northwest Florida this weekend. The scrimmages let players test their skills against someone other than their teammates and give coaches a chance to assess their teams' strengths and weaknesses.
"It's real competition, and you want to see who will rise to the competition," first-year Navarre head coach Jay Walls said in published reports. "Some guys get stuck in that practice mode, and the game is kind of a shock to them. We want to see how our guys will respond."
The Raiders return starters at 11 positions, five on offense and six on defense, from a team that finished 5-5 last season. The Panthers were 4-6.
The teams feature some of the area's top talent, especially catching the ball. Navarre senior Jordan Leggett, a 6-foot-6, 220-pound senior tight end/receiver, caught 41 passes for 566 yards and four touchdowns in 2011. He has committed verbally to play football at Clemson, but has received interest from several NCAA Division I programs – including an official offer from new Southeastern Conference member Missouri.
Milton features two receivers with verbal commitments to D-I schools: Isaiah Jones (Florida State) and Pensacola-Washington transfer Dejon Funderburk (South Alabama).

About Me Quality Oriented
See all my reviews
I bought this for my granddaughter's 5th birthday. I really like the variety of beads and the fact that it teaches how to make things. But it's a problem to mail because of the size and shape. I plan to exchange it for the Totally Me! Stylin Bead Boutique, which is a more manageable size.
My daughter loves it
By Mom of 2
from Keller tx
This product has entertained my daughter for hours! It's a good craft for my 6 year old to do with little assistance from me. There are a lot of beads so we have to be careful around her infant brother but the case helps keeps them organized. One warning- the packaging was difficult to open which resulted in the plastic covering popping off with beads spilling every where
girls love this
By mom that cares
from stratford, ct
We purchased this for a 4 yr old and it brought the whole family together. My 8 yr old and even my husband made necklaces, bracelets, rings, and ankle bracelets. It was fun and beautiful creations. It brought many different beads that help everyone be creative plus it brought a case to store the beads.

By The mom picking up beads off the floor..
from NEW JERSEY
Terrible packaging. The plastic covering the beads is pressed down so tight that when you lift it up all the beads come jumping out with it. The beads should already be placed in the plastic bead case. It took me over an hour to get all the beads in the case and half of the other beads were lost when removing the packaging. Manufacturer should get rid of all the extra plastic (polluting the earth and aggravating the buyer) and just have beads in case with a smaller packaging makes more sense and would solve the problem of losing all the beads before the kids actually get to make their necklaces, bracelets...etc...

LETTER: Market forces drive cost, not tax rates
To the Telegram: Although I admittedly don't have a degree in economics, I was surprised by a couple of claims made in the Dec. 7 "We the People."
To the Telegram:
Although I admittedly don't have a degree in economics, I was surprised by a couple of claims made in the Dec. 7 "We the People."
A writer accused Democrats of deceiving the public into thinking they only want to tax the rich. This is despite the fact that Democrats continue to favor keeping taxes low on those earning less than $250,000 per year as families, and, less than $200,000 for individuals — thus extending tax breaks for the middle class while eliminating the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. This comes along with several other tax cuts, including extending the payroll tax cuts for the middle class (despite vigorous opposition from Republicans) along with several tax cuts for small businesses.
The same writer basically invokes the spirit of "trickle-down economics" to support the claim that, when taxes are raised on the upper classes, businesses must pass this cost onto consumers. But there is also a basic economic axiom supporting the fact that free enterprise favors those businesses that offer quality goods at lower prices. So, even with higher taxes, products will be competitively priced, assuring market dominance for companies that offer the highest quality at the lowest possible price.
It's not like companies can't afford to absorb the costs associated with higher taxes. Exxon Mobile earns several billion in profits quarterly, and, Wal-Mart has a more robust financial system than some third world countries. The point is that, in a competitive free market, prices will continue to remain as low as possible — benefiting businesses and consumers.
It's true that the quest for cheaper products has led companies to seek lower production costs in countries like China and India — where they can lower their bottom line by paying employees much less. That's the reason Democrats have continually supported the idea of providing tax incentives and other ways to level the playing field for domestically produced products.
Warren Buffett points out that, a profit remains a profit, despite modest tax increases. It's like having the opportunity to purchase a Lamborghini or a Mercedes Benz at only one-tenth of fair market value, but not accepting the deal if the cost is raised to only one-eighth of market value. However, most people will not pass up such a deal even if it's a little less profitable. Similarly, raising capital gains taxes from 15 percent to 17 percent will not discourage most investors.
During the higher taxes of the Clinton years, businesses continued to thrive, and shortly after World War II, rates were as high as 94 percent. However, the economy boomed, and millionaires remained millionaires anyway.
In a fertile business environment, businesses will remain profitable no matter where their bottom line is, and (as Buffet puts it) there is no need to "coddle" him, and his fellow millionaires and billionaires, with lower taxes.

Blue Water Bridge reopened
By Zoe Clark
The Blue Water Bridge has been reopened. The bridge, which links Port Huron, Michigan and Sarnia, Ontario, was shut down Monday and Tuesday to commercial traffic as crews worked to clear snow from the week's severe winter storm.
As The Associated Press reports, the bridge's closing:
...forced several General Motors Co. plants in Michigan to interrupt production and caused long delays at the Ambassador Bridge crossing between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario.

Ask Debby Herbenick | Infidelity and the hunt for a new vibrator
TOC's sexpert tackles your most penetrating questions.
Q My girlfriend has a massive ass. I like this about her. She doesn't. She's always hiding it behind sweatshirts tied around her waist, loose dresses, loose jeans. I'm your average pudgy guy, and I don't know how I got such an awesome girl who also has the best ass in the world, but I did. Now all I have to do is convince her of that so she can stop hiding it all day and during sex in the dark.
A If your girlfriend feels embarrassed about her butt, it's likely to take some time—and a lot of booty love and appreciation from you—to help her to see the awesomeness of her body. Try taking turns massaging each other by candlelight. When it's your turn, spend extra time caressing her behind and make sure to tell her how much you love—and I mean love—her butt. When she does wear formfitting clothes, or anything close to it, compliment her. Letting her know that you like it when she wears clothes that show off her butt may encourage her to take pride in her body. That doesn't mean she's going to transform her wardrobe and wear what you want her to—after all, her current choice in clothing may be less about hiding her butt and more about just liking the styles she wears. Finally, as you layer on the booty love, make sure to layer love on everywhere else, too. Rarely do people like to be boiled down to one body part, and you certainly wouldn't want her to think you like her only for the size of her butt. So in your quest to get her to dig her curvalicious body, make sure she feels loved, admired and special for who she is inside and how she makes you feel.
Q I need a new vibrator, pronto! The old one is starting to die—it was a bullet, which I liked. The one before that was a rabbit thing, which was okay. I'm ready to branch out. What do you suggest for a moderately experienced girl like me?
A Some girls love shoes; others dig amazing food or awesome vibrators. I like all three. If you've been down bullet and rabbit lane, why not try a pimped-out varied-speed bullet like the Greta ($28 at Early to Bed, 5232 N Sheridan Rd, 773-271-1219)? If you've got mad cash and would like a vibe that simulates oral sex, consider the SaSi, which you can "train" to repeat enjoyable stimulation patterns ($185 at the Pleasure Chest, 3436 N Lincoln Ave, 773-525-7151). Sick of killing batteries? Consider the Earth Angel, a hand-powered vibrator that produces about 30 minutes of good-quality vibration for four minutes of windup work ($95 at babeland.com). And if you're looking for new ways to use a vibrator, whether alone or with some lucky guy or gal, you can find an entire sex-toy chapter in my new book Because It Feels Good: A Woman's Guide to Sexual Pleasure and Satisfaction (Rodale, $21.95).
Q My whole life I've hated cheaters. I once broke up with a man because he made out with some girl in a bar. But now it's like karma has come back to haunt me. I'm getting married this fall. Everything is ordered and paid for. There's no one else I want to build a life with or have kids with. Problem is that I have the most ridiculous chemistry with a guy at work. A few months ago we began working on a project together, and now it's like we both know we're going to have sex at some point. I am nothing but professional to him, as he is to me, but I feel magnetically pulled to him. I've been hoping this would pass but it has not. I don't see myself dating or falling in love with this man. I just want to—scratch that, need to—fuck him. I worry that if I don't (and I have dreamed of this in intimate detail), I won't be able to feel good about marrying my fiancé. I know that sounds weird, but it's like I just need to get past this hiccup and go on my way. What do other people do in this situation?
A What do people do? Some request that they be moved to a different work project and minimize all contact with that other person. Others think gross, unattractive thoughts about the person they lust after as a way to try to make them seem less appealing. Some people would put extra energy into thinking positive, hot, sexy thoughts about the man they are planning to marry. Or they might question the viability of monogamy. But you? You're thinking you need sex with Guy #2. And you would not be alone in making that choice. Some attractions feel destined to be explored. I get that. Others—if you give them enough time—stop feeling like that after a while. It still may pass. If cheating horrifies you, how will you feel about yourself if you have sex with Work Dude? I can't tell you what to do, and frankly, what other people do in this situation isn't what's important: It's how your choice may make you feel, and how it could impact your fiancé. For example, what if you got genital herpes—which condoms can't fully protect against—and passed it to your fiancé? What if once turns out to not be enough and you want to leave your fiancé for Work Dude or to carry on the affair for weeks or months? Are these good or bad outcomes? When you dream about this single act of sex, what happens next? Weighing potential costs and benefits will help you figure it out.
Q My husband cheated on me and then left me three years ago. He said our sex life had gone down the tubes and he wanted someone who displayed more passion. At first I dismissed his shallow comments, but now that I am out dating again and I hear stories of people with more active sex lives than my own, I have to wonder: Did I provoke his cheating by not being adventurous enough in bed? If I find someone else, what can I do—sexually speaking—to keep him?
A Men and women rarely cheat only because of sex. Sexual satisfaction and relationship satisfaction are often interconnected. When a person is uninspired in a relationship, he or she may find it difficult to connect in bed. Maybe you or your ex didn't feel excitement anymore—not just in bed, but in general. Maybe he just wanted to have his cake and eat it too; maybe she gave him an ultimatum. Maybe he fell in love—that doesn't mean he never loved you. I'm pointing out these maybes because to blame yourself is to lose sight of the many possible influences on his behavior that have nothing to do with you. Perhaps in the next go-round you will find someone who awakens that passion within you without trying. To work on it yourself, focus on developing an emotional connection with people you date. When you can take emotional risks, it's often easier to take risks in bed—the kind that result in unusually passionate kisses that surprise the both of you, a new position or spending so much time in bed (not necessarily having sex, but just talking) that your friends wonder if you moved out of town.

MBTA 'Courtesy Critters' call for commuter etiquette
Posted: 02/06/13 at 5:45 am Updated: 02/06/13 at 10:21 am
Tags: commuter etiquette Courtesy Critters
BOSTON (WHDH) -- The MBTA showed off its wild side with animals that will show riders how to mind their manners. The "Courtesy Critters" ad campaign launched Wednesday.
It features ads like parrots, telling patrons not to "Squawk on the phone."
A pack of pachyderms warn riders not to "spray your germs" - making sure you cough or sneeze into your elbow.
Cute little pigs seated throughout a bus are joined by the words, "Don't hog a seat!"
The MBTA hopes some lighthearted humor will remind us to mind our Ps & Qs.
It's an idea many riders said they can get on board with.
Others believed the cash strapped agency could have found a better to spend money.
"It's just wasting money they don't have," said one rider.
Twenty-four hundred posters will be seen throughout trains and buses.
The slogans are based on common customer feedback - including a cast of crabs, reminding riders to be nice to staff.
What may seem like common sense, administrators hope will make for a more comfortable commute.
Not only will we be seeing the barnyard friends, but we'll also be hearing their voices - hopefully bringing a smile to your face as they remind you about etiquette.

Some of my past interests and activities include breeding Angus Cattle, accredited and prize winning equestrian winner, and of course pet grooming. I take my time when grooming any pet. I believe that you shouldn't rush, force and frighten any pet during a grooming session just to meet the next appointment deadline. I do not cage any pets during any process, including drying and washing. Your pet is never left alone while in my care. I only groom and work with one pet at a time. That's why I only have limited booking spots available each day. The person (Yvette) you hand your pet to, is the person that grooms them and personally hands them back to you. Unfortunately thats no longer the case with all pet groomers in our competitive industry. Handing back a well groomed pet is only half the objective. I get much more pleasure when customers tell me that I returned their pet stress free and unfrightened. All grooming packages come with free nail clip, foot care, ear clean and tick inspection. "Peace of mind for us all" I only use professional quality equipment such as Andis grooming clippers, shears, and blades.

If you need to burn a few extra calories because you have just been slammed at work or just could not go to the gym that day, then play with your dog. Have them chase you or throw their favorite toy and then chase them. Try to keep the game going for a good 10 minutes. You will be amazed how heated up you will get by running back and forth and going around furniture. You heart rate will increase and you start to burn more calories the longer your dog wants to play. When they get tired, then that is when to stop. Don't stop because you are tired, stop when they have had enough.
Have Fun,
Oregon Personal Trainer

DOT: No licenses for 'deferred action' immigrants
IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa will not issue driver's licenses to young immigrants who entered the country illegally but are now are eligible to work in the U.S. under a federal program, state officials announced Thursday.
President Barack Obama announced a policy change in June that lets some illegal immigrants apply for temporary work permits if they were brought to the country as children. The "deferred action" program lets them seek a renewable, two-year reprieve from deportation if they meet specific age, residency and education requirements.
But the Iowa Department of Transportation said state law does not allow it to issue driver's licenses or identification cards to people who are in the country illegally. State lawyers concluded that the federal program does not extend lawful status to the immigrants and does not offer them a pathway to citizenship, said Iowa DOT director Paul Trombino III.
