WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The State Department on Friday released its final environmental review of the Keystone XL pipeline project, which would allow delivery of up to 830,000 barrels of oil a day from Western Canada and the Bakken Shale Formation to Steele City, Nebraska. The review is the last step before the State Department gives its final determination on the controversial project. The report concludes the pipeline "is unlikely to significantly impact the rate of extraction in the oil sands or the continued demand for heavy crude oil at refineries in the United States."

Bunch of bees
Bunch of bees was developed by RVB Balloons from Brazil and built by pilot and owner Bill Whelan. It took 1500 hours of work but the result looks great. Bill is a beekeeper and this balloon envelope and the to-be-built 2nd one in the shape of a queen bee are tributes to bees. But there's also a serious reason behind their creation. You see bees are in trouble these days. Five years ago, a mysterious condition called Colony Collapse Disorder decimated honey bee colonies in parts of the United States and Canada. Now recent field studies published in Science magazine led to conclusions that a dramatic loss of queens and interference with the bees' ability to find their way back to the hive could be indirectly tied to systematic insecticides, a common way to protect crops. Canadian farmers and Agriculture Canada are working to find solutions. Bill and Sandra Rolfe are hoping their two bee-themed balloons will draw attention to the plight of the bees.

Paddy Power plan to use the balloon at sporting events to offer competition winners a chance to view sporting events from 'the best seats in the house'. The balloon has a volume of 3300 m³ and has a 5740 cm waist size.

RVB Balloons sended these pictures from the first inflation of Pegleg Pete The Pirate Parrot. The balloon was for sale, but not for long. Dave Reineke who is selling his Bud E. Beaver (see for sale page) is the new owner. The balloon is available for festivals all around the world.

"Here is the real truth I hope that every one of us can believe and embrace, no matter what our sexual orientation or expression of gender might be: What we desire and what we do sexually, and how we live out our gender every day, are actually things God wants us to love about ourselves."

|The Game Story:
|BETHLEHEM, Pa. � Before an Ulrich Sports Complex record crowd of over 1,600 people, Lehigh took on No. 10 Notre Dame on Sunday afternoon on Senior Day. The Mountain Hawks hung tough with the Fighting Irish but were ultimately done in by a 6-0 second quarter run by the visitors, as Notre Dame came away with a 14-7 victory. Ryan Hoff scored four goals and dished out one assist as the Irish improve to 9-2 overall with the win. Brian Bienemann and Ricky Cornetta netted two scores each for the Brown and White as its 2008 season comes to a close at 6-9 overall.
�I�m proud of the seniors for all of the effort they put into this one,� Lehigh head coach Kevin Cassese said afterwards. �Coming into this week I challenged the seniors to step up their game and to step up their leadership and they did just that. Being out of the Patriot League Tournament, some people may look at this game and say it doesn�t matter, but our guys didn�t buy into that.�
He added, �Our seniors played hard and it was good to see (goalkeeper) John Park get in there. He made some big saves and has been such a great supporter to (fellow senior goalkeeper) Eric Spirko all season long.�
Notre Dame took 45 shots on the afternoon, led by Hoff�s nine attempts, while Lehigh was credited with 29 shots, as Max Dahlem led the Mountain Hawks with five attempts. Spirko, Richard Bradley and Stuart Baxter scooped up four ground balls apiece to account for twelve of the team�s 36 GBs on the afternoon. Taylor Clagett won 10-of-16 face offs for the Irish and added a game-high seven ground balls, as Notre Dame had its way in the X, winning 17-of-25.
Spirko finished with nine saves in 45 minutes of action in goal for Lehigh, while Park played the final quarter and sent back six shots of his own. Notre Dame goalkeeper Joey Kemp stopped eight shots in his 55 minutes of work.
Hoff opened the game with his 27th goal of the season at the 8:48 mark of the first quarter, but Cornetta tied things at one just 30 seconds later off a feed from Dahlem. Grant Krebs gave the Irish the lead back, but Brant Fischer found the back of the net for Lehigh for just the second time this season and after one quarter of play, the teams were tied at two.
In the second quarter, Notre Dame�s offense unleashed six straight goals in a span of 3:07 to surge in front 8-2 with 2:24 remaining in the half. That is how the score remained as the teams retired for halftime.
The Irish continued their strong offensive play in the third, scoring the first three goals to go in front 11-2 with 8:00 left. Bienemann scored both of his goals though in a span of 60 seconds and Lehigh had life, pulling to within seven at 11-4. Hoff scored his fourth goal of the game with 5:25 left on the quarter clock however, and Notre Dame took a 12-4 lead into the final 15 minutes of play.
Matt Diehl scored the final quarter�s first goal on an unassisted score to bring Lehigh to within seven yet again. After two more goals by the visitors, Fred Cassilly and Cornetta added goals for the Mountain Hawks to make the final margin seven, at 14-7.
Cassese commented on the crowd, which was the largest ever at the Ulrich Sports Complex to see a Lehigh Athletics event. �It had a different feel to it. You could tell walking in here that there was something different about the entire atmosphere today. People are excited about lacrosse and about this program and hopefully that will continue as we move forward with building this.�
A replay of Sunday's game will be shown on Sunday evening, beginning at 5:00 on Service Electric 2 Sports. The game is also available on-demand on Lehighsports.com.

The NHL's busiest day is followed by its quietest. With the League turning over the final day of October to the trick-or-treaters after a 14-game bonanza Saturday, it's a good time to take a look back at the numerical goings-on during the first month of the season:
0 -- Combined home victories by the New Jersey Devils and Buffalo Sabres, both of whom went 0-4-1 in their own buildings -- the only teams that didn't win at least once at home during October. One of the four home losses for each team came against the other.
1 -- Goals scored by teams while skating 3-on-5. Frans Nielsen of the New York Islanders scored on a penalty shot in Philadelphia on Saturday after being hauled down with his team playing two men short. It was one of four penalty-shot goals scored on the same night -- Florida's David Booth, the Rangers' Ryan Callahan and Washington's David Steckel also scored on penalty shots.
2 -- Shutouts against the Carolina Hurricanes in their two home games at the RBC Center. The
Canes, who started their season with two games in Helsinki and five more on the road, lost 3-0 to Washington in their home opener Oct. 27 and 2-0 to Pittsburgh three days later. Away from Raleigh, the Hurricanes have won five of eight games.
3 -- Goals allowed and shutouts by Boston goaltender Tim Thomas, who won all six of his starts during the season's first month -- tying a 73-year-old team record help by Tiny Thompson. Thomas finished the month with a goals-against average of 0.50.
4 -- Shorthanded goals allowed by the Colorado Avalanche, the most in the League.
5 -- Points by San Jose's Joe Thornton against New Jersey on Oct. 27, the most by any player in the League in one game this far this season. Thornton scored three times and set up goals by linemates Dany Heatley and Patrick Marleau in the Sharks' 5-2 victory.
5 -- 2010 draft picks who made it through the month. The Islanders sent Nino Niederreiter back to junior Thursday, leaving Taylor Hall (Oilers), Tyler Seguin (Bruins), Jeff Skinner (Hurricanes), Alexander Burmistrov (Thrashers) and Cam Fowler (Ducks) as the five 18-year-olds who almost certainly will spend the season in the NHL.
6 -- Biggest margin of victory in any game. Florida routed Tampa Bay 6-0 on Oct. 16 in its home opener. That was one-quarter of the 24 goals the Panthers scored in their nine games in October.
7 -- Most goals scored by one team in a game--it happened three times. Washington got seven in a 7-2 victory against New Jersey on Oct. 9, Edmonton matched that total in its 7-4 victory at Chicago on Oct. 29, and the Caps put up seven again in their 7-2 win at Calgary on Saturday.
8 -- Games in which the New Jersey Devils trailed after two periods, more than any team in the NHL. They lost all eight.
10 -- League-leading goal total belonging to Chicago's Patrick Sharp. He finished the month one goal ahead of Colorado's Chris Stewart and Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos.
10 -- Number of times in their 11 games in which the Atlanta Thrashers were outshot. They were even in shots in the other game and did not outshoot an opponent all month. Every other team had at least one game in which it had more shots than its opponent.
11 -- Shootouts in the 156 games played in October. Projected over a 1,230-game season, there would be 90 shootouts, less than half of last season's total.
11 -- Most combined goals scored in a game. It happened twice -- on back-to-back nights. Colorado won 6-5 at Calgary on Oct. 28, and Edmonton was a 7-4 winner at Chicago the next night.
12 -- Appearances by New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur. He and Washington's Michal Neuvirth (11 games) were the only goaltenders to play in all of their team's games during October. Brodeur started 11 games and relieved Johan Hedberg in the other.
14 -- Power-play goals by the San Jose Sharks, who lead the League despite playing only nine games. The Sharks also have the NHL's best power-play percentage -- they've scored on 31.8 percent of their 44 chances.
19 -- Points by Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos, the most by any player in October. The No. 1 pick of the 2008 Entry Draft is on a pace that would see him put up nearly 160 points for a full season.
21 -- Second-period goals allowed by the New Jersey Devils, the most by any team in any period in October. The Devils were outscored 21-7 in the middle period -- and they've allowed more goals in the second period than they've scored in all three periods and overtime combined (20).
33 -- Games that went into overtime. Of those games, 22 (67 percent) were decided in the five-minute extra period; just one-third went to a shootout. Last season, just 39 percent of games that were tied after regulation were decided in OT; 61 percent went to the shootout.
122:24 -- Toronto's month-ending scoreless streak. The Leafs ended the month with back-to-back shutout losses to Boston and the New York Rangers. They finished the month on a 1-4-1 slide while scoring just seven goals in those six games.

Some would argue that Kickstarter is one of the best things to happen to the industry by allowing people to essentially crowd fund a project they want to see happen. It's the perfect tool for independent developers to take advantage of, especially during a time when rising development costs are extremely prohibitive. As the concept has caught on, the bigger companies began to tap into the well, which has rubbed a few people the wrong way. Though I haven't exactly seen many campaigns that straight up abuse the concept, scams are always bound to happen, as are promotions of a more devious nature.
Over the past few days, I've received quite a number of inquiries regarding a certain Kickstarter. I refuse to link to the project or the video associated with it because I do not support the cause, but the campaign I'm referring to involves the resurrection of Active Enterprises' Cheetahmen II, a game we covered in a recent episode of Pop Fiction with the help of James Rolfe. The Nerd has also covered the games several times in his videos, and he's probably a big reason why anyone has even heard of the Cheetahmen II.
The video for the Kickstarter features the Angry Video Game Nerd, Pat the NES Punk, and the Game Chasers in an elaborate skit to promote the project. A project headed by Greg Pabich, the self-proclaimed owner of Active Enterprises and all of its game rights. The tagline of the video and the entire Kickstarter is Play or Die – a phrase you might be familiar with if you've seen Episode 22 of Pop Fiction. The video loosely plays off the Saw parody we did, but it does not appear to specifically reference the episode directly.
What bothers me is the nature of this campaign. I have no idea who actually holds the rights to Active Enterprises, Action 52, or the Cheetahmen IP. Greg Pabich claims he does, but I haven't dug through any public records to see if that claim is true. Even if he doesn't hold the rights, it doesn't seem likely that Vince Perri or whoever is the rightful owner will come forth and take any legal action. One thing to note is that Mario, a former Active Enterprises programmer, is apparently part of the project.
The nature of the Kickstarter is to fund the development of a completed version of Cheetahmen II. You have to pledge a minimum of 60 dollars to qualify for a copy of the game, though. Sure, it will be on a real NES cartridge and you can play it on an actual NES, but who cares when you can play it for free. If you saw the episode of Pop Fiction, then you know that somebody named PacoChan patched up the game, allowing you to finally beat the game. Greg announced that the game will eventually be made available for the public to purchase if you don't want to pony up the 60 bucks, but you're going to have to fork over three times the pledge amount to secure a copy.
Listen, people can do whatever they want with their money. However, I think it's ridiculous to contribute money to something that already exists. Not to mention, the biggest issue here is how Kickstarter is being abused. I don't believe it was meant to be used in this fashion, and if this Kickstarter succeeds, it means that other people with ideas just like this will come forth and exploit the system. It's a disgrace to other more worthwhile Kickstarters, especially the ones that failed to get funded. The bottom line is that I felt disgusted after watching the video and reading the description for this Kickstarter.
On a brighter note, I got some updates for Pop Fiction fans. First, if you didn't see already, we updated the Reptile episode with some cool new stuff. Next week you should also be getting another revision for the Yoshi episode. As for the next new episode, we'll be debuting that at PAX Prime later this month during our GameTrailers.com Film Festival. If you're going to be out that way, be sure to stop by.

Yes, the merchants do a good business during the Christmas season; although with the economy the way it is, they'll have a lot of competition with the discounts at the Big Box stores on Comstock, as well as the giant shopping mall a few miles north.
So why, then, would the City Council vote down an opportunity to give Grand Haven business owners a real shot in the arm with the Holiday Road Light Show proposed and produced by Brad Boyink?
I can see thousands of locals as well as folks from all over West Michigan traveling here to see this marvel of music mixed with awesome visual technology, while visiting shops and restaurants before and after their experience. By the way, some of that music you would have heard would have been coming from the cash registers.
Is traffic really the problem? Then why put up with hundreds of thousands of people and vehicles during Coast Guard Week? Why not call that off, too, with the fear that downtown merchants would lose business because of gridlock?
Come on, City Council, what's the real reason for shooting down this great show, and the opportunity of raising thousands of dollars for Special Olympics?
Whatever your reason, it not only costs us the light show and the boost for Special Olympics, but also Brad Boyink's tireless dedication to keeping the Musical Fountain a technological marvel that Grand Haven can be proud of.
Don't worry about driving west on Franklin this winter. The traffic will be very light.

Re, The Quitter Economy. Slate had some interesting comments there. Seems to me that it's not so much about folks giving up, but rather people (not companies ) are realizing they need to stop relying on others for their needs, and are acting on that. You can see this attitude reflected in the sales figures for practically everything. We're making stuff last longer, fixing instead of replacing, prioritizing basic needs over toys, etc. Growing veggie gardens, putting in wood stoves for heat, and so on. When consumers don't consume, companies have no choice but to liquidate. When borrowers no longer borrow, banks run out of income. When people conserve on taxable stuff (like fuel), or lose their job and start drawing unemployment, welfare, etc., gov't runs out of money. And the stock market is becoming less and less relevant to the real economy. And so the spiral tightens.
We are becoming, individually, more self-sufficient, and that hurts those who need us to be dependent on them.

Providing a sound basic education to every child in New York will cost an extra $2.5 billion to $5.6 billion a year and require aggressive new measures to ensure that the money is well spent, Gov. George E. Pataki's Commission on Education Reform said yesterday.
The commission's recommendations are a response to a ruling last June by New York's highest court, which ordered the state to figure out what it would cost to improve New York City's schools and then provide enough money to do so. Only four months remain before the court's deadline.
Though the court order did not require it, Governor Pataki instructed his panel to consider the needs of every schoolchild in the state, not just the city. The panel did not prescribe how the money should be spent, but said the state should monitor districts closely to make sure they deliver tangible results.
''We have said time and time again that while resources are needed to improve New York State's education system, dollars are not enough,'' said Frank G. Zarb, the commission's chairman, echoing a sentiment Governor Pataki has often expressed. ''If all we do is add money, then we will have failed.''
As it is now, the state gives about $14.5 billion a year to its schools, so the commission's proposal represents anywhere from a 17 to 39 percent increase, to be phased in over five years. What the commission does not suggest, however, is how much of that increase should come from the state or from the cities and towns themselves.
From the day it was announced last September, critics have attacked the commission as a proxy for the governor, who single-handedly picked its members. Yet the panel's recommendations -- which are likely to help shape legislative wrangling for months -- ended up going significantly beyond anything Mr. Pataki has put forward.
In his budget, for example, the governor proposed raising as much as $2 billion for education in future years from video lottery terminals, but offered no backup plan should the machines generate less.
The commission not only raised the ante, but also said that any state commitment should be guaranteed, regardless of gambling revenues.
The panel also recommended that schools performing poorly for three years in a row be shut down. And it said incompetent teachers should be dismissed more quickly.
Exactly where all the money should come from is a decision the commission left to the Legislature, prompting some of Mr. Pataki's political opponents to criticize the report for leaving them with as many questions as answers. Others described the recommendations as too little, too late, since the official deadline for the budget is less than a week away and the report arrived at the tail end of the process.
The commission ''appears to have done nothing more than compile and rehash previous and current proposals by the governor,'' said Sheldon Silver, a Democrat and the Assembly speaker.
But there also were complaints from some Republicans, including State Senator Nicholas A. Spano of Westchester County, who said the commission simply lobbed the toughest issues back into the laps of legislators.
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, who had railed against the governor for not consulting him before assembling the panel, issued only a brief statement seizing on the question of how much money would be allocated to the city.
''The Zarb Commission report on state education illustrates how Albany has been shortchanging New York City schoolchildren for decades,'' the mayor said.
He added, ''It is time for the state to correct this historic injustice.''
The advocacy group that brought the lawsuit on behalf of New York City children had its own reservations. Given the panel's broad mandate, critics argued, the extra money being proposed was grossly inadequate.
''I'm very skeptical,'' said Michael A. Rebell, executive director of the Campaign for Fiscal Equity, the plaintiffs in the case. He said it was too early to tell whether he would challenge the state's figures as the case continues under court review, but he added that ''I don't know if the bottom of the range is enough to make any real difference.''
An independent study commissioned by the advocacy group found that an extra $9.5 billion a year would be needed to apply the court order to the entire state. Similarly, the New York State Board of Regents concluded last year that an extra $6 billion a year would be required to bring school spending up to a ''fair and equitable level.''
Standard & Poor's, which performed the commission's financial analysis, defended its work as objective and transparent. It said it simply looked at the state's successful schools and based its findings on what they spent per student, adjusted for such factors as poverty and English proficiency. The advocacy group used a different methodology basing its figures on the professional judgment of experts.
S.&P. found that replicating successful schools would require spending between $12,659 and $13,755 per student, compared with the average of $11,000 or so that was spent in 2002.

Markets' bumpy month ends with a dip
NEW YORK — Given the wild trading of late, it was a calm close to the month.
After flitting between tiny gains and losses most of Friday, the stock market closed mostly lower, a peaceful end to the most volatile month in nearly two years.
"It's a dull Friday," said Gary Flam, a stock manager at Bel Air Investment Advisors. A bull market, he added, is "rarely a straight march up."
The Standard & Poor's 500 index ended its bumpy ride in June down 1.5 percent, the first monthly loss since October. Still, the index had its best first half of a year since 1998 — up 12.6 percent.
Investors still seem unsure how to react to recent statements by Federal Reserve officials about when the central bank might end its support for the economy.
Mixed economic news added to investors' uncertainty Friday. An index of consumer confidence was almost unchanged, but a gauge of business activity in the Chicago area plunged.
"Investors don't know what to make of the news," said John Toohey, vice president of stock investments at USAA Investment Management. "I wouldn't be surprised to see more ups and downs."
The S&P 500 stock index closed down 6.92 points, or 0.4 percent, to 1,606.28. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 114.89 points, or 0.8 percent, to 14,909.60. The Nasdaq composite index rose 1.38 points, or 0.04 percent, to 3,403.25.

Hi Friends,My two buddies and me are in the final stages of planning a week-long excursion to the Bob Marshall this fall. We have a haphazard circuitous loop worked out, that will be all fine and dandy, but we have one crucial question, and one not so crucial question for those who have experience in the reserve and are familiar with the terrain we're talking about. In order...1) How is the off-trail route to the lake nestled under Scapegoat Mountain? We will be approaching it from the trail that runs West-East, from the Chinese Wall (the one that turns east before Larch Pass)? It looks like we will have to ford or wade the creek at this point to get across to the small river that drains the lake, and from there it's about a 2.5/3 mile ascent up to it.2) Has anyone ever hiked south from Scapegoat Mountain to Bear Lake? If so, how'd you do it; what was the best approach? This is another off-trail hike that would involve going over some rather steep mountain terrain.Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have. Looking forward to hearing the response.Best,Tim
Do you mean Slategoat and not Scapegoat?
Assuming you mean Slategoat Mountain.I've not been in that particular area, but have enough sense to give you what I hope will be some decent guesses.Generally below 6k in that area you'll end up in thick spruce forest and the lower slopes of Alces Creek look steepish. This combo can make for some fairly slow travel. I'd cross Moose Creek just below Three Lakes Creek, and head SE up to around 6.8k as fast as possible. Looks like you could walk that contour around into the lake with minimal effort. Probably good games trails, as there are lots of elk in that area.Going south to Bear Lake will make for a cool hike. Just looking at a map, I'd head up the north face of White Ridge, swing west around the south side of the sub-peak, then get on the west side of the ridge and follow it south. I would anticipate finding game trails around 8k. Getting down to Bear Lake might be a bit tricky. The east-trending nose just north of the lake looks like it would go sticking to the very top, but there might be some futzing around cliff bands near the top. The limestone in the Bob can make for some nasty steep and unstable talus. If that doesn't work, the next ridge to the north (i.e. dropping south from point 7673) would definitely go.
Hey,Yep, I messed up with Slategoat.Thanks for the invaluable experience, and info, David. We're going to peer at our maps, this weekend, and iron out the rough edges. If anything, where to cross the creek puts our minds at ease and everything has slotted together.Now, all we need are the plane tickets... :-)Tim

News from Spain informs us that a team of specialists has recently succeeded in designing and manufacturing so-called bacteria-killing textiles.
Apparently, this new fabric brought forth by researchers working with the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya BarcelonaTech has nanoparticles which help keep bacteria at bay incorporated within its make-up.
This means that, regardless of where the person wearing an item of clothing made from this material goes, bacteria are not given the opportunity to come along for the ride.
The Verge explains that, in order to develop this new fabric, researchers had to use adhesive enzymes which helped them embed said antimicrobial nanoparticles in a given piece of cloth.
In order to make sure these nanoparticles stayed attached to the threads, the specialists had to resort to ultrasonic radiation, which supposedly helps up the efficiency of the adhesive enzymes.
Contrary to popular belief, public hospitals are not as clean as patients would want them to be, meaning that, as a result of having a lot of people going in and coming out of them on a daily basis, these public buildings are quite rich in terms of bacterial diversity.
Therefore, the scientists who developed these bacteria-killing textiles hope that, should doctors and nurses agree to wear items of clothing (gowns, in particular) made from this innovative fabric, it would be much easier to make sure that various types of bacteria do not travel from one patient to another.
"The statistics on patient safety in the EU show alarming tendencies : - 1 in 10 patients are affected by hospital-acquired infections - 3 million deaths are caused by hospital-acquired infections," reads the official website for this EU-funded research project.
Furthermore, "An active infection control program of patients and personnel and hygiene measures, have proven to significantly reduce both the number of infections and hospitalization costs."
Apparently, this bacteria-killing fabric has a lifespan of 70 laundry cycles, and the specialists who developed it hope that it will soon start being used in hospitals all across Europe.

Comments about AKG Perception P3S Vocal Microphone:
I agree with phil bradley.
I bought this mic from a competitor and found that it is lacking gain badly. No power at all.
I own a Fishman loudbox mini and guitar side I would have gain on 9 o'clock and you would have to have the mic side gain turned up on 2 o'clock with your mouth right on the mic to get any sound threw it. It is not a good mic period.
Best Uses
Comments about AKG Perception P3S Vocal Microphone:
I've been doing FOH engineering for over 20 years and doing recording engineering/production for over 35 years.
I've been using this mic for over six months and have found it to be very versatile. Although AKG primarily markets this as being voiced for background vocalists in a live setting, I have found it to be just as functional for lead vocals and instruments in both live and studio settings.
I have also used it in a pinch as a reference mic for an RTA to set EQs for some venues.
I've also found it to equal the quality of Shure mics costing 2-5 times as much.
Comments about AKG Perception P3S Vocal Microphone:
So it comes with a on and off switch so do musch cheaper mic.
I found thta this mic was just terrible for vocals! it has no power or feed back quilities I found,
I sing in churches all over the world and have had bad comment sfrom other singers abou this mic.
I guess its ok on being built good but I'd never recomend it to a friend.
I think its price for what it is couod be better.

|Sex & Intimacy / 2:42 PM - Thursday April 05, 2007
My boyfriend won't give oral sex
How can I get my guy to go down on me? He refuses and won't give me a straight answer on why not. Even after a shower or bath, he still won't. He doesn't even want to do 69. I give him blowjobs about 3 times a week and it really bothers me that he won't return the favour. What gives?
- Asked by Female, 29-35
We are in the reverse situation......I suck my wife off about that often and she will go down on me but never finishes me.....neck gets "too tired".....I need to do something to speed myself up! If I were you, I would cut them back and say "Quid Pro Quo" to him!

- Response by texasgal1200, A Career Woman, Female, 29-35, San Antonio, Who Cares?
It does not necessarly mean he dosn't like the way you smell!! see prior response. He may just not be comfertable doing it, has he ever done it before? Some people may precieve it as being nasty, i don't know his reason, tell him it really bothers you and ask for a explanation.
- Response by stefbre2002, A Life of the Party, Female, 36-45, Columbus, Administrative
Some guys just don't like it. Slow down on the bj's and see if he's more willing.
- Response by rexy67, A Sweet Sarah, Female, 46-55, Who Cares?
It may not have anything to do with smell at all, some men just don't like it just like some women don't like giving blow jobs.
- Response by sweetnovember, A Thinker, Female, 36-45, Executive
You should stop giving him head. Tell him if he wants some sugar, he gotta return some ... then just **slowly spread your legs** ... I think he would get the picture.
- Response by lotusle82, A Creative, Female, 66 or older, Seattle, Who Cares?
Stop giving what you don't get. That is how it goes girlfriend. No lickee = no suckee!
- Response by msheartbeat, A Trendsetter, Female, 46-55, San Francisco, Self-Employed
I don't understand him either. I think that going down on a woman is one of the most exciting parts of sex. It really turns ME on when I go down on my wife. I love how she reacts differently depending upon how softly I lick her, or how I flick my tongue gently, or use my mouth and lips to suck at her softly, etc. I try to surprise her.. tease her a bit.. and keep her guessing.. always : )
- Response by 2542, A Mr. Married Guy, Male, 46-55, Political / Government
I think it is true that it is personal preference. My X wife did not like me munching on her, but she loved to suck and swallow. With certain other types I had no interest, than bam.... someone comes along and thats all you can think about. The current relationship, she just loves it as do I, but she won't return the pleasure. She says cum is disgusting. We have had alot of dialog, but she holds firm that she will not... She is also not very motivated at all. But guess what, I like what I can do and appreciate having her to do it with.... sure beats watching TV.
- Response by A Rebel, Male, 56-65, Phoenix, Who Cares?
you can think of it this way he is getting his.and maybe he thinks because he gives you a little dick then you are sattisfied with just that.i myself dont mind doing it but its a every blue moon thing for me.and to be honest there is nothing wrong with my lady friend.and she goes down on me like 7 or 8 times a week.but she enjoys it and actually gets off sucking my dick.its funny though when i mess with other ladies i will go down on them just to blow there mind and have them comming back for more.i think if you stop making him feel so good giving him blow jobs so much he might get the picture.i was told if he wont do it then another man will.an if done right then you will be going back for more

- Response by rachele36, A Player, Female, 46-55, Los Angeles, Medical / Dental
It is one of two things... He is clueless as how to do it, or he is just selfish.(or both)..There is nothing gross about it.
- Response by humpdaddy, A Jock, Male, 46-55, Columbus, Other Profession
You need to wake up, he doesn't have ANY problem about your vagina or it's cleanliness at all he is just lazy and can't be bothered to return the favour that you do-without any question-up to 3 times a week, can't you see what he's doing? he's just using you and being selfish, I hope you realize this and refuse to play this silly little game with such a pig-headed guy in future, unless he does it for you, you should never do it for him, he says you'r clean so whats the problem, it worries me that you go and wash yourself thoroughly to please him and persuade him and he still refuses and he lets you believe it's your fault-and what does he mean by saying 'it's gorss someone would spend all that time down there' thats a lie! if you give someone oral sex does it matter how long it takes? time isn't the issue, for god's sake wake up and get this loser out of your life he's so pathetic
- Response by nico88, A Thinker, Female, 29-35, Who Cares?
Stop going down on him.
- Response by ballzdeep318, A Life of the Party, Male, 29-35, Chicago, Science / Engineering
The only thing I can suggest is that sex shops sell these very thin "sheet" type things that he can put between your body and his mouth. It allows the sensations etc., but keeps his mouth clean (for lack of a better way to say it). If he can't satisfy you, then I wouldn't bother doing him either. Very selfish!
- Response by fivesons, A Hippie Chick, Female, 46-55, Self-Employed
He must be gay...find someone that will eat...stop the blow jobs now...
- Response by nashbar77, A Couch Potato, Male, 56-65, Who Cares?
He doesnt like the way you smell...simple.Hes too afraid to tell you.
- Response by A Creative, Female, 36-45, Vancouver, Who Cares?
Tell him if he doesn't go down on you, you are not going to go down on him.
- Response by auditmoney, A Cool Mom, Female, 46-55, Las Vegas, Financial / Banking
Has he ever done it before? Maybe he's scared.
- Response by olderwoman, A Thinker, Female, 46-55, Pittsburgh
I give him blowjobs about 3 times a week and it really bothers me that he won't return the favour
- Response by rafiki910, A Mr. Nice Guy, Male, Who Cares?, Boston, Body Work
i think you need to ask him directly, we cant answer this question for him, you two need to be able to communicate all to each other, concerns especially in the bedroom. now, you said you go down on him 3xs a wk and it bothers you he wont return the favor, so my question to you is, is that the only reason you go down on him? because you want him to do it to you? if so, you're so mistaken, you go doown on him because you like it, because you want it, not because you expect something in return, i think alot of females out there do this, and its just plain wrong, how are you grooming habits down there? are you clean shaven, trimmed, or old fashion jungle? i think this matters alot as well, you gotta make yourself look appetizing. good luck to you.
- Response by proudlatina, A Hip Hop Girl, Female, 36-45, Los Angeles, Administrative
Simple if he ain't licking it, he ain't sticking it!.
- Response by p0pc0rn, A Cool Mom, Female, 29-35, Boston, Self-Employed
It's not your fault. You need to accept the reality that you're dating a selfish lover who simply doesn't care about pleasing you in any other way than normal sex. Find a better man.

Consultants unveiled plans Thursday for Oklahoma City's MAPS 3 urban park that aim to strike a balance between natural landscapes, man-made amenities and sustainable land use.
Three concepts for Oklahoma City's MAPS 3 urban park unveiled
Three design concepts were revealed at Thursday's meeting, the second of three planning meetings conducted by Hargreaves Associates consultants and city officials. The concepts are based on planning documents and feedback from more than 1,600 Oklahoma City area residents who filled out an online survey following the first meeting.
The main difference in the concepts is where the so-called "programmed" areas of the park are. Programmed portions of the park have a specific purpose, like a basketball court or dog release area or a playground, whereas other parts will be more like natural landscapes.
All three of the design concepts feature a grand lawn near the northeast corner of the park, which the consultants consider a focus because it shares an intersection with Chesapeake Energy Arena and the future MAPS 3 convention center and downtown boulevard. The grand lawn can be used for large events or for informal recreation.
"We feel a lot of excitement about a large performance venue," said Mary Margaret Jones, a Hargreaves senior principal.
The designs also will incorporate the elements of the park deemed most desirable by the people who filled out the online survey. Bicycle paths, bodies of water, space for festivals and open-air markets, nature walks, community gardens and a river boardwalk were all among top choices.
In general, each design also features heavily programmed areas of the park at the northern and southern edges, but the section of the park south of I-40 has more natural landscaping.
"We almost have sort of a bar bell of activity at both ends of our park," Jones said.
Consultants and city officials also intend to make the park as sustainable as possible, with efficient use of water and energy in mind.
The first design presented Thursday has most of the programmed parts of the park on the northern edge, similar to the density of programming at Myriad Gardens. As the park spills to the south, it would be more like a natural space in the middle of the city, with a meandering path winding through trees.

Return to: Galactosemia Copyright Paragraph Text Copyright Line Text Get Citation Citation Journal name Download citation file: RIS (Zotero) EndNote BibTex Medlars ProCite RefWorks Reference Manager © Copyright Tools Search Book Top Return Clip 72: Galactosemia Judith L. Fridovich-Keil; John H. Walter Abstract The main sources of galactose are milk and milk products. Galactose is present as the disaccharide lactose, but lactose is hydrolyzed to its constituent monosaccharides prior to absorption from the intestine. Galactose is an essential energy source in infants but it is necessary that it first be metabolized to glucose. The principal pathway for the metabolism of galactose involves three enzymes: galactokinase, galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase, and uridine diphosphate galactose 4′-epimerase. There are genetic diseases due to disorders of all these enzymes.The biochemical consequences of the genetic disorders of galactose metabolism are abnormally high concentrations of galactose and its metabolites in body tissues and fluids. The clinical consequences range from life-threatening crises in the neonatal period and severe long-term complications to complete normality.The first enzyme in the galactose pathway is galactokinase. The gene encoding galactokinase has been mapped to chromosome 17p24. It consists of 8 exons spanning about 7.3 kb of genomic DNA and shows many of the features of a housekeeping gene. The enzyme is a monomer containing 392 amino acids with a molecular weight of 42.The main clinical feature of galactokinase deficiency is cataracts that are usually bilateral and detectable in the early weeks of life, although they have been observed at birth and in a fetus at 20 weeks' gestation. Pseudotumor cerebri has been described in several cases of galactokinase deficiency and is considered to be a true consequence of the disorder. These features resolve when a galactose-restricted diet is introduced.The gene encoding galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase is located on the short arm of chromosome 9 in the p13 region and consists of 11 exons. The cDNA is 1295 bases in length and codes a polypeptide of 379 amino acids and an estimated molecular weight of 44. The active enzyme is a dimer of the polypeptide. More than 200 base changes have been characterized at the gene. A few are common, but most are rare; the distribution of several mutations has been studied in a number of major human groups. Q188R is the most common in Europe and in individuals of European descent. S135L is found almost exclusively in individuals of African descent. In vitro functional assays demonstrate that not all mutations at the GALT locus are null. In vivo assays using whole body galactose oxidation substantiate these findings.Severe galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase deficiency (classic galactosemia) presents in the first weeks of life with poor feeding and weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and hypotonia. Liver dysfunction, bleeding tendencies, cataracts, and septicemia may be found on examination. These features usually resolve dramatically, provided treatment is started early; however, it is now recognized that a number of affected individuals will have serious long-term complications, possibly as a result of continued endogenous galactose production.The human uridine diphosphate galactose 4′-epimerase gene has been mapped to the short arm of chromosome 1 at 1p36. The gene spans 4 kb of genomic DNA and consists of 11 exons encoding a polypeptide of 348 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 38. The active enzyme is a dimer. Several mutations have been described at the GALE locus in affected individuals. High-resolution x-ray crystallography of both Escherichia coli and human epimerase enzymes has revealed details of the molecular interactions between substrates and enzymes as well as the mechanism of impact of the V94M mutation on enzyme activity.The majority of patients described with uridine diphosphate galactose 4′-epimerase deficiency have an enzyme defect principally in their erythrocytes and have normal growth and development. A generalized severe form of enzyme deficiency has also been described and is considerably rarer. Patients with this form present similarly to those with classic galactosemia and respond to the removal of galactose from their diet. However, long-term complications may also be associated with this disorder.Neonatal screening for classic galactosemia has been introduced in some areas in order to promote early treatment, although the efficacy of this practice has been questioned. Prenatal diagnosis has been possible for all three enzyme disorders for a number of years.There has been a large volume of research into the pathogenesis of the galactose disorders. Cataract formation is almost certainly caused by galactitol accumulation in the eye lens, but the mechanisms of other multi-organ features of these disorders are undoubtedly multifactorial and will include genomic and environmental influences.
