Update Notes
Updated on: 12/02/2015
Since we last visited IFeelMyself...
I'm feeling pretty satisfied today and it's all because I Feel Myself. Wait, that came out wrong. Let me restart. This is a website that focuses almost entirely on the female orgasm. In their own words, they state that we are far too often exposed to "images of eroticism that ignore or trivialize the female orgasm" and it is their goal "to counteract that imagery by providing a confident, affirming, and sexy alternative."
A good way to think of IFeelMyself is as an indie porn site. And I don't mean because the videos look low budget, but rather the opposite. The production values are high, so what sets these apart is that you're not getting the same old cookie-cutter productions being spewed out by some big porn studio. You can think of these as artisanal porn with carefully handcrafted scenes.
There are 3,573 video clips on the site, but since some are parts of longer scenes, the actual number of movies is much lower. I'd say that there are probably about 2,500 flicks. That's a very decent number and the amount of porn is actually improving all the time thanks to daily updates.
Find your favorite chick bringing herself to a wild orgasm with fingers, toys or the help of a special friend. When gal pals get together to focus on the elusive female orgasm, you can bet the action isn't just wild. It's a sensual, erotic adventure that you don't generally get from other hardcore sites.
If you want to get a little more intimate with some of the babes, some have a video bio. I watched an adorable Aussie named Devochka talk about her interests and studies. Not all the models have these, but they're fun to watch and add a personal touch. These amateur girls keep it real and for me it upped the hotness level when I watched them pleasure themselves.
The films can be streamed and downloaded in Windows Media and QuickTime files for the older ones, but since May 2009 you've had the option to go with different formats and better-quality files that have gotten even better over time, including high-def MP4 files. The default streaming video is a low-quality Flash file, so I strongly recommend that you save the movies.
The vast majority of the porn involves babes bringing themselves to orgasm, but there are some videos with guys and other gals lending a hand. If you're into watching babes masturbate, you'll love them. There's a wide range of women too and they all look to be having genuine orgasms.
There's definitely a voyeuristic element to a lot of them, so those of you who get off on that will enjoy them even more. I should mention that there are quite a few interview clips as well and they give some great insight into female sexuality. They're quite interesting and informative, so don't skip them.
There aren't any photos, but there are a few extras. There's a forum and banners that you can post on your blog to help promote the site. If two people join because of you, you'll get a free month's membership.
I Feel Myself isn't a perfect site, but it's unique and good enough to satisfy those who can't get enough of amateurs and female masturbation. There happens to be a daily download limit, so be sure to pace yourself.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

I have always enjoyed female masturbation as a fantasy and in watching porn.
I think I feel myself is the best that there is on the web for amazing real women pleasuring themselves. I usually have several solo stroking sessions a dya, so the download limit is somewhat of a limiting factor for me but I still think the cost is worth it. At present, IFM is the only pay "porn" site I subscribe to but I think that this is not the packaged and mass produced "porn" we've all grown accustomed to, it seems way more intimate and real, like you are right there in a mutual session with the artist. The female orgasm and the ways to get there is truly a work of art. I highly recommend this site if you enjoy watching masturbation scenes and the occasional lesbian scene both with and without toys.
Mainly, it is the download limit and the somewhat tricky navigation. I would like to be able to browse by some simple categories like "toys" "hair colour" and so on, but these are minor improvements. Finally, it seems some of the videos are not high definition enough for today's technology. I watch on a large flat screen and when I go full screen, some videos are too grainy to truly enjoy. I want to watch a crystal clear image of something that is such a turn on like this!

If you like this genre, this is the obvious royalty of all of them. A much, much, much higher percentage of the women actually do what they do naturally, unlike just about all American sites that are full of girls faking orgasms and making cheesy, stupid porn sounds at the same time. It's a wonder that it's 2014 and no American site has figured this out. The only con is that the studio shoots are rather dark at times, which detracts from many of the videos. There are literally a few hundred truly hot, real scenes here.

Overall quality site. If you like women who please themselves with no director, this is a good site for you.
Pros : Unique content. Real orgasms.
Cons : Stationary camera means you might not get the best angle.

This site has a ton of content, but I'll never see most of it because the download limit seems a bit stingy. Often, I'll hit my limit after as little as 10-15 videos, and when I do, they also kill the downloads in progress. I spend a lot on porn paysites, and on many high content sites, I'll be a member for up to a year, but this one I'm staying exactly one month. Sorry if they think this is a good strategy to ensure a long-term revenue source, because I think AbbyWinters is a better deal and some of the models can be found on both sites.
Score: 98% Date: 12/23/2013
I love this site. Although I currently not a member, I will resubscribe soon. The women are real, and not all of them may fit society's definition of beautiful (most do however). But the variety is what makes them beautiful. Many of them look like women I know or knew at some time.
The videos are not over directed, as they tend to be with most other more main stream sites. With IMF, they just let the woman do what comes natural, and it ends up with the most sensual, erotic video of a beautiful woman climaxing. It is amazing to see.
My only complaints are that on some of the videos the lighting is a little off, and the video quality on older videos is not great. There are some really hot scenes in the older ones that are not watchable because they are just too pixilated. But I suppose that's true for most videos on porns sites. That being said, however, the quantity of the newer high quality videos makes up for the poor quality older ones though.
So if you like to see real women in fully natural orgasm by themselves like I do, this is your site. I can't say how much I appreciate the brave women on the site who are willing to share their personal intimate moments with the world.
Score: 98% Date: 12/03/2012
The site is for people who like real masturbation scenes. If you've seen American sites with this kind of content, you haven't seen anything close to this. All American sites content are pretty much ruined by phony orgasms, lousy camera work, stupid phony porn sounds, and silicon dogs. This is an Australian site that uses stationary cameras and tells the women to just do what they normally do. What you get is a hugely higher percentage of reality. For example, InFocusGirls has cuter girls, but the content is terrible by comparison--it's directed, phony, and most of the girls are too inhibited to be entertaining in a real way. The only con is that some of the older stuff isn't as high video quality. If you are sick of the crappy, phony, "going through the motions" solo content out there, this is where you should go. Out of the many videos on the site, you will no doubt find dozens that you consider some of the best ever made.
Score: 95% Date: 07/16/2011
What I like about this site is the girls are so real, they don't seem to be acting at all and so all their orgasms are different. Some are quiet and some are really intense. The quality is great now its in HD and I disagree with the other poster about overweight or obese women. This is what women I know look like. Some are very skinny. This does not look like porn to me and it is a big turn on after regular porn. I would like to see more ways to search for different things I like though, like squirters and skinny girls.
Score: 60% Date: 05/19/2011
The site concept is great - some of the clips are real turn ons. But there are too many unattractive overweight girls and too many poorly-lit shots where you can't see anything. And the earlier pages of vids (about 60% of the total) are such small format that they're not worth downloading. There's also a 10GB per day download limit which is a bit of a pain (why can't they just increase their server capacity?) but even with the limit you won't have any trouble downloading the better clips within a month's membership.
Bottom line: OK, but could have been much better.

I actually loved the site, seeing women get themselves off is a real turn on. Charlotte V. in the "1948" video is one of the best, although the pissing in a cup may or may not be a turn on for some. The quality of the videos became high-def on May 7, '09, although some continue to be medium to high quality, before that all are medium quality starting Feb 13, '06. What turned me off and made my decision to join for only 1 month a year is that 50% of the videos have overweight to obese women and some of the others not very catching to the eye. As Mike C said, some of the lighting is very dim on the studio videos but has gotten better. They have what the site calls "close-up" videos which are much better for lighting. They now have an update everyday which is always nice, but some of them have been reissues of previous vids, only from a different angle. All in all I would advise anyone who likes to see women masturbate to what seem to be real orgasms to at leat join for a month yearly as the good to great content evens itself out with the poor to disgusting content. Be careful though about streaming as it does count towards your download limit of 6gb (initial contract says 3gb, but they allow 6), which just as well download all the videos of interest and if you don't like it, delete it. Also make sure you keep the e-mail they send you so you can cancel your membership easier which btw was extremely easy by having the password given.

IFeelMyself focuses exclusively on real female orgasms. Within that focus, they are undoubtedly the Best on the Net.
1) No actors involved, no scripts used, no cheesy music, no fake moaning or goofy dialog: just real women, each doing herself her own way.
2) The video quality is excellent in HD. but even the smaller formats display very well at 1920x1200 dimensions.
3) Some of artists (models/performers) have separate video interviews and some actively participate in the forums. In the interviews, there are some very interesting insights into female sexuality -- as well as some interesting accounts of why some of these ladies volunteered to make these very private, real intimate films.
4) The average film length is pretty realistic as well, around 10-12 minutes.
5) The films are made in a number of settings: a studio that contains a nice bed with nice (and clean) linens, some outdoor scenes, and some filmed in the artists homes using professional grade cameras.
Cons: Not many, but here are two:
1. Because these are real women doing the real thing, the filming approach is to be as inobtrusive as possible. In doing so, there can be some lighting issues: a) in some cases the lights are just too low; b) in others the direction of the lights and natural movement of the models create shadows. For the most part however, later updates have been very appropriately lit.
2. There is a download limit of 6Gb a day. Not much of a con. On average that's around 20 HD clips -- at an average 10Min length over 3 hours of content downloadable per day. (ON the very positive side of this, the site DOES NOT limit throughput or suspend your connection during your 6Gb limit).
Summary: I wouldn't call this a "porn site." It's erotic film of very high quality. If you enjoy watching women that enjoy being watched (while they are enjoying themselves), IFM is by far the best site you'll find on the Internet.
Score: 100% Date: 07/26/2009
Probably the best site I have ever joined and I will always stay a member.. The quality of the vids are superb (now they are in HD), the girls are sweet and the whole thing is real and natural. Each girl and video seems unique in that the focus is on Female Masturbation and orgasms. Any way they update a new video every day so on a 31 day month you get 31 videos for your subscription fee plus access to their huge library of past videos. Enough to keep you knee deep in real female orgasms for months.

Last night started off like it was gonna be a pretty nice evening.
I had a sweet little run; I banged out a freakishly quick 3 miles at the park and wasn't planning on doing more than 2. The force was with me so I just kept running. It was glorious and a very rare occasion.
After my triumphant run, I came home, starved and ready to relax, and started routing through my fridge/freezer. After coming across some frozen whole wheat pizza dough, I made the call to try a new recipe I'd been formulating. All was going swimmingly until I checked on it midway, and it just wasn't doing what it was supposed to do. As I feared, I pulled it out of the oven only to reveal….well quite literally a hot mess. And as much as I hate to waste food…
Sigh. Better luck next time. (And best believe I picked that thing apart searching for any part of it that was edible.)
So instead of calling for a pizza, I grabbed the next best thing out of the freezer, poured a glass of wine and called it a night.
That's right. Onion rings. French fries' classier cousin. And you see that? Oh yeah, paper plates. I almost put on a set of pearls, just to eat them.
And should the lovely folks at Alexia be reading this, please feel free to run with that slogan. I promise I'll be fair with my price.
Oh and hey, you should probably go check out my guest post today at The Cookie Battle. It's what a classy person would do.

Classroom response systems (clickers) have been shown to dramatically increase class interactivity and improve student engagement. As an additional benefit, the system enables both students and instructors to get real-time feedback on class effectiveness. Visit HSU's clicker support pages [1] for an overview, software downloads and other resources.
The Turning Point [2] system used at HSU comprises a receiver and handheld input devices. Receivers are installed in a number of HSU's smart classrooms [3] and are also available for checkout from Classroom Technology Services [4]; the software is installed on all Smart Classroom [5] systems. Clickers are distributed through the HSU Bookstore; faculty should order the appropriate number of clickers for their class at the same time as they order textbooks - a semester ahead of when they will be needed. Turning Point clickers are fully ADA-compliant.
If you wish to install the Turning Technologies software on your computer, it is available in the Faculty Download Center. [6]
The TurningPoint system may be integrated directly into Moodle [7] for fully interactive instruction.
Once the Turning Point software has been set up on your classroom computer and you've created your content, you can activate Turning Point with your Moodle sessions. To do this:
You should complete this setup process before your class is opened and available to students, so students will be prompted to register their clicker when they first log in. Until the device is registered, you will not be able to import student information.
When you click on the Administer link in the Turning Technologies block, you'll see a full list of who has registered, as well as a menu at the top for importing sessions, exporting data, and purging device IDs. Important note: The Purge Device IDs command will delete all of your students' device IDs from your class, so it's unlikely you'll want to use this function.
Please note that students should register for All Classes if given a choice, and that we are not using Responseware at this time.
Guides for Faculty are available for:
Basic Clicker support for faculty and students is available in Lib 315 every day, and appointments are available with the Clicker team by calling extension 3633. There is also an extensive section on clickers in the Faculty User Guide (you may be asked to enrol in order to access the guide). Additional information and extended support are available on the Turning Technologies [12] website.

Successful Sales In 6 Easy Steps
Every business has a process. Many times the process operates silently behind the scenes – keeping operations humming – and unbeknownst to the customer. The only times an individual becomes aware of the process is when it breaks down. This comes typically when a customer's request/complaint/suggestion does not fit into the business process.
Sales has a process too. It is the map for success for the salesperson. It is the beginning, the fallback, and the foundation for a sales organization. Many times most sales people cannot articulate what their sales process is.
"Me, me, me…" – Agent Smith
"… me too!" — Agent Smith, from Matrix: Reloaded
The Typical Sales Process
When the average sales person is pressed to communicate their sales process this is the usual answer:
• Sales lead comes in – or – call list is given to sales rep
• Call lead – or – name on list
• Make presentation and overcome objections
• Close sale
Pretty simple process, eh? Typically all things that are successful in life are easy to communicate, understand and execute. What is wrong with this process is that it does not identify how to qualify, service, consult, and partner with your customer or client. It does not make every sales contact an event that enhances the customer experience and/or strengthen the business relationship. It is a sales process that is about the salesperson and not the customer. In the end it is a process that does not successfully lead to repeat business.
Consumers are statistics. Customers are people — Stanley Marcus
The Successful Sales Process
A successful sales process is a framework that is adjustable to the client/customer's needs, desires, and will make them (your client) successful. It requires a sales person to truly understand the dynamics involved in the decision making process. The first being that all buying decisions made by customers are made with emotion not logic. The second being that it is the value perceived by the customer that triumphs over the value you feel you are giving.
The successful sales process is an infinite circle of six steps:
Steps One – Research
Whether you are given a lead, call list, or you must hunt for the business you need to know what forces affect your customers' business, markets, and decisions. Before you even pick up the phone, post a letter, or send an email you need to qualify if they are the right clients for you.
Step Two – Make The Call
This call is about two things – learn who, how, what, when, and where decisions are made from the primary source: your client; and get the appointment for your sales call.
Step Three – Research In-depth
This research builds upon what you have done in step one. It is specific to your sales call that you are going to have with your customer. Here you will learn more about the company, the decision maker, and any other information that will help you exceed their need.
Step Four – Pre-Call Plan
Some salespeople typically like to link this with step three. It is ill advised; because the pre-call plan is narrowing down all the data you have gotten from your research to a specific call. The pre-call plan is where you will practice your presentation, anticipate objections, role-play the sales call, and build a framework in how you want the call to go.
Step Five – The Sales Presentation/Call
This is it… where all the work from steps one through four will give you the edge and help your customer win.
Step Six – Close for Business
Ask your customer what it is you want them to do: sign here, buy ten units, fill out this form, or whatever it is they must do to help you make the sale. If they say "No" well you close for another chance to present how they will win with you.
The beauty of this process is that it is never ending and it has specific actions that must occur before you move to the next step, but allows you to skip when needed. For instance, let's say your customer said "No" when you closed. You can move to step three and begin your in-depth research right there in the call. The information you get from your customer can lead you to finding solutions and skip to step five immediately while you are in the sales presentation. If that is not appropriate, you have a starting point and reasons to return.
This sales process, conversely, can be used if you win the sale. Now that you have got your foot in the door you can research for referrals, other departments, and how to better improve your delivery service to your clients.
The great seal of truth is simplicity — Herman Boerhaave
Six Simples Steps
As mentioned above, successful processes are simple to understand, communicate, and execute. So are the six steps of the successful sales process. What makes this process the best is that it is about the customer, the customer, and the customer. It is a sales process that is not about the salesperson at all.

A&O wants to contribute to environmentally friendly travel by giving school classes and teachers the opportunity to inform themselves about their carbon footprint, climate change and sustainability here A&O Info portal (German only).
In order to make the issue fun and entertaining to students, you can try out your newly acquired knowledge using our CO2 quiz (again, German only) and earn discount codes for your next A&O accommodation.
We want to promote awareness of independent, climate-conscious behavior and thereby act as a motivator, not as a "party pooper".
A particularly environmentally friendly group of students from Sarajevo has documented their class trip for us. They have travelled by bus, ate 60% vegetarian food and selected activities that could be explored on foot or by bicycle. In the evening they have kept themselves entertained with board games, our hotel piano, billiard, table football and our A&O PhotoFunBox.
The past years we have instructed an independent institution to check all our buildings on their CO2 emissions. This CO2 emission check allows a measurement of the climate impact on human activities. The average level of CO2 emissions of all A&O hostels is 8.96kg CO2/ overnight stay. This value in fact corresponds to the climate efficiency class B in the categories youth accommodations, being 3 times lower than in other two and three star hotels. The average value is 26 kg CO2/ overnight stay. We can achieve this climate friendly value by means of our simple and functional facilities plus our optimal use of space.

Harassment and torture of LTDH members20
On 28th February 2002, Mr. Baldal Oyamta, General Secretary of the Chadian League of Human Rights (Ligue tchadienne des droits de l'Homme – LTDH), and one of his colleagues were molested for no apparent reason by Republican Guard soldiers serving in the district of Chagoua, N'djamena.
In April 2002, members of the Ati branch were subjected to pressure from the authorities and security forces. Mr. Adariss Younouss, Chairman of the Djedda branch, was subjected to inhuman treatment on the pretext that his activities were of a political nature.
On 3rd October 2002, Mr. Sylahorbe Maningonal, Communication Secretary of the Maro branch of LTDH, was arrested by Mr. Doudet, local chief of the National Security Agency (ANS). When Mr. David Mamtadjian, Chairman of the branch, went to the ANS to find out why Mr. Maningonal was being detained, he too was arrested. Both men were severely tortured and then transferred to the prison in Sido near the border with the Central African Republic. They were accused, apparently without evidence, of illegal possession of weapons of war and membership of Abdoulaye Miskine's Chadian/Central African rebel group. They were released on 24th October after paying 80,0000 FCFA. Mr. Sylahorbe Maningonal's right arm is paralysed as a result of the torture. The Moyen-Chari/Salamat branch of LTDH has instituted proceedings as a result of these events. As at end 2002, this has produced no result. Mr. Doudet, head of the ANS in Maro, has already been cited as a member of the political police torturers under Hissène Habré's regime.
On 29th November 2002, Mr. Rimadjita Nguedongar, Chairman of the Koumogo branch, was the victim of an assassination attempt by brigade commander Alio, at the home of the sub-prefect. The brigade commander was disarmed in time by a third party.
Lastly, the Chairman of the Kélo branch, Mr. Bandalla Tchatcho, received threats from ANS Inspector Sogar Dinga.
Harassment of Mr. Souleymane Guengueng21
In March 2002, Mr. Souleymane Guengueng, Vice-Chairman of the Association of Victims of Crime and Political Repression in Chad (Association des victims des crimes et de la repression politique au Tchad – AVCRP) was suspended without pay from his job on the Lake Chad Basin Commission (CBLT) for thirty days. Mr. Guengueng received a letter from his superior on 18th March 2002 informing him that he had violated CBLT regulations and particularly Article 7, which stipulates that staff must abstain from all professional activities outside their work at the CBLT. Mr. Guengueng was accused of "obstinately militating for a political association" and was requested to send a letter to the CBLT Executive Secretariat undertaking to cease his AVCRP activities, on pain of more serious disciplinary sanctions. Mr. Guengueng is involved in combating impunity in Chad, particularly through legal proceedings against the former Head of State Hissène Habré for complicity in crimes against humanity and acts of torture.
Ms. Jacqueline Moudeïna back in Chad22
Ms. Jacqueline Moudeïna is the lawyer in charge of legal affairs at the Chad Association for the Promotion of the Defence of Human Rights (Association tchadienne pour la promotion et la défense des droits de l'Homme – ATPDH) and lawyer for Chadian victims in legal proceedings in Chad against the collaborators of the Hissène Habré regime. On 26th August she returned to Chad and to her professional and voluntary activities. Ms. Moudeïna had been in France for over a year receiving medical treatment. She had been injured when members of the anti-riot police launched a grenade attack on a demonstration outside the French embassy in N'Djamena on 11th June 2001. The Observatory sent a solidarity mission to accompany Ms. Moudeïna on her return; the mission was able to meet several officials including the Minister for the Interior, who undertook to ensure her safety. Legal proceedings against the N'Djamena Chief of Police in connection with this affair are still pending. Jacqueline Moudeïna received the Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders in March 2002.

TOUCHING THE PAST TODAY: Families in old Saddleback Valley
It may be difficult in 2008 to visualize this land we call home as it was about 100 years ago: an area sparsely populated with few roads and neighbors and families visiting each other by horseback or carriage. Yet, if we were to time-travel back to the year 1900, we would find ourselves in just such a place - and a period when many were related (sometimes distantly) to one another. Indeed, the blending of families, which made for interesting neighbors and politics, was the norm for rural Orange County. Such a reality created one large neighborhood of mutual supporters for times of need and celebrators during happy moments.
Let's begin with the family relations of the first private owner of Rancho Niguel. Juan Avila, born in 1812. He came from a prominent Californio family in the pueblo of Los Angeles. His uncle's adobe still stands, restored and open to the public in the center of Olvera Street, while Juan's home is now restored in San Juan Capistrano about one block from the mission. Avila's sister was the wife of Don Jose Serrano, owner of Rancho Canada de Los Alisos, another local ranch. Serrano was the son of Don Francisco Serrano, alcalde (mayor) of Los Angeles in 1799. Don Jose was also a "judge of the plains" for this district as was Juan Avila. The restored 1863 Serrano family adobe can be visited today at Heritage Hill Historical Park in Lake Forest.
Two of Juan Avila's daughters married into other prominent families; one became the wife of Pablo Pryor, who owned Rancho Boca de Playa (also located in present-day south Orange County), and another daughter married Don Marco Forster, son of John Forster. John's sister was the wife of Pio Pico, the last Mexican governor of Alta California. Forster himself owned and lived in the San Juan Capistrano mission for 15 years (1845-1860) and was the largest landowner in all California at one time. His direct descendent, Tony Forster, lives in San Juan Capistrano today and has been a long-time leader in the Historical Society there.
While the social center for these local early Californio families and their ranchos was San Juan Capistrano, when we come to Rancho Niguel's next major owner, Lewis Moulton (born in 1854), we also move into the American ranch period and up El Camino Real to the El Toro area. The social center for these ranchers and farmers was the corner of Los Alisos (now El Toro Road) and Front Road (which still exists near the railroad tracks). There were located the railroad depot, pool hall, community hall, school, church, warehouse complex and the El Toro Store.
Lewis Moulton had his home nearby on a knoll now occupied by the Oakbrook Village commercial development. Moulton married Nellie Gail, the daughter of the local storekeeper, John Gail.
With the two commercial and social centers, San Juan Capistrano and El Toro, the neighboring ranches and farms in between housed the interrelated families of what has become south Orange County. Many of these descendents remain our neighbors today within Laguna Niguel and its surrounding communities.
Residents and local historians Donald and Mary Decker co-authored eight books including the new city history "Laguna Niguel: Honoring the Past, Fulfilling the Present."

Creature of the Deep
My first encounter with this ancient chimera came on a research vessel trolling just outside New York Harbor, within sight of Coney Island's Cyclone roller coaster. The big fish lay still on the deck, enduring its examination with an uncanny self-possession as we ran our hands across its mottled brown crocodilian form and measured its massive armored torso -- some four feet long and dense as a log sheathed in leather, studded head to tail with rows of hard, barbed scutes. Of course the antediluvian form was remarkable, but more so was the fish's composure, a Zen-like patience we decided must derive from its antiquity.
Few animals are more ancient than the sturgeon. Two hundred million years ago, when the first dinosaurs were appearing and before the continents separated, sturgeon ancestors already inhabited the Triassic seas. The way they look now is pretty much the way they looked some 85 million years ago. Those that survived the spreading of continents, a global extinction, and the coming and going of ice ages inhabited the Northern Hemisphere's largest river basins, lakes, and inland seas -- in Europe the Baltic, Black, and Caspian, the Danube and Volga; in Asia the Amur. In North America, a freshwater species colonized the Great Lakes, and other species flourished in the Missouri and Mississippi rivers and the Gulf of Mexico. Sturgeon roamed the estuaries and rivers of the Pacific Northwest; Atlantic sturgeon migrated along North America's eastern coast from Labrador to Florida, spawning in nearly every major coastal estuary.
Yet for all their evolutionary prowess, sturgeon are now critically endangered. Once humans developed a taste for their roe -- processed as caviar -- and a craving for the profits it brought, species that had survived millions of years were devastated in little more than a century. The International Union for Conservation of Nature considers 18 sturgeon species worldwide to be endangered, 16 of them critically. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lists four of the country's nine species as endangered, two as threatened.
So it would not have seemed controversial when, in 2010, the National Marine Fisheries Service proposed adding all but one population of Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus, the Atlantic sturgeon, to the Endangered Species List. Concern for the precarious state of this once spectacularly abundant species was not new: in 1998 the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission had called for a minimum 20-year ban on all sport or commercial fishing for the Atlantic sturgeon. Nine years later, an NMFS study found that, despite the ban, "only a few subpopulations seem to be increasing or stabilizing" and the majority "show no signs of recovery."
And yet if NMFS was looking for consensus among sturgeon scientists, it wasn't finding any. The departments of natural resources and fisheries in nine states on the eastern seaboard opposed an endangered listing; only two supported it. The opponents called the move premature, unnecessary, an impediment to continuing research, a precursor to onerous new regulations at a time when their own as well as the federal agency's resources were finite, and, most of all, not based on good -- or sufficient -- science. Many fisheries scientists pointed out that NMFS's own 2007 status review, despite its grim findings, recommended only regional "threatened" listings -- meaning some populations of sturgeon were likely to become endangered within 20 years if nothing improved.
Proponents of an endangered listing, however, considered a 20-year bet on an 85-million-year-old species a reckless gamble. NMFS and the Natural Resources Defense Council, which filed a listing petition in 2009, claim that recent research shows Atlantic sturgeon face increasing environmental risks. Worsening water quality in the estuaries and rivers where the fish were once most abundant threatens young fish. In the Delaware Bay and the Delaware River, once the staging area for the greatest aggregations of Atlantic sturgeon, sightings of juveniles are rare and spawning adults rarer still. (Delaware and Pennsylvania already include the sturgeon on their state endangered lists and favor federal listing.)
Atlantic sturgeon are, of course, not the lone suffering species: 100 years of development, ship-channel dredging, and runoff have reduced to a shadow of their former selves populations of American shad, blueback herring, alewife, and American eel -- all of which migrate between freshwater and salt water.
Those arguing for an endangered listing believe it may be the only way to initiate the coast-wide effort they feel is needed to keep the Atlantic sturgeon from disappearing altogether. The population trend across the fish's entire range, they contend, is clear, troubling, and in some cases alarming. Declare the Atlantic sturgeon endangered now, they say; fill in the scientific blanks later.
No one disputes that, for the Atlantic sturgeon, those blanks are big and plentiful. While charismatic is the first word many scientists use to describe the sturgeon, cryptic is usually the second. Its life history remains frustratingly inscrutable, a Rumsfeldian collection of knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns.
Atlantic sturgeon can live past 60 (a lake sturgeon might live twice as long), grow to eight feet or more, and weigh 600 pounds. Yet despite their size and battle-ready appearance, they are a reclusive species. They are at home, out of sight, along deep river bottoms and coastal seabed channels, where they graze on an assortment, from large to microscopic, of mollusks, worms, crustaceans, and insects -- food that even 200 million years ago would have been plentiful. It's an ecological niche that no other large fish evolved to exploit and that sturgeon make the most of, thanks to some splendid evolutionary adaptations.
Electroreceptors allow them to locate prey in the dark depths -- an adaptation also found in sharks, an even more ancient species to which sturgeon, because of their cartilaginous skeleton, were once thought to be related. The two species also share an airplane-like tail fin, but the sturgeon's is truncated at the base, so the fish can move swiftly but still remain close to the riverbed or seabed. The four gangly barbels that dangle beneath the fish's snout are not feelers but tasters, covered with chemoreceptors that detect prey buried in the bottom sediment.
The sturgeon extracts its prey through an extraordinary process made possible by a mouth that is unique among fishes. (It can't properly be called a jaw because no bones connect it to the skull.) When a sturgeon locates food, the mouth bulges outward from beneath the snout like a fleshy hose, flushing out prey. The fish then separates food from sand and gravel and expels the grit through its gills.
While other anadromous fish such as salmon, shad, or striped bass may, within a few years of their birth, return to their natal rivers to spawn, once a young Atlantic sturgeon goes out to sea it may not return for a decade. Sturgeon from South Carolina reach maturity between the ages of 5 and 19, Hudson River sturgeon between 11 and 21, and in the St. Lawrence not until they're between 24 and 34 years old. This, combined with the fact that younger females carry fewer eggs, means that new generations of some Atlantic sturgeon populations emerge less frequently than generations of humans. A depleted population, therefore, can take a very long time to recover. And it is for this reason, many opponents of an endangered listing contend, that the effects of the 1998 fishing ban have only recently become apparent.
All Atlantic sturgeon make their major spawning runs in spring: southern fish as early as February, northern fish as late as June. The gravid females swim in from the sea and continue upstream until they find freshwater or deep river channels. There they release their eggs, which stick to the sand and gravel. Hatched within a few days, the young begin a slow migration downstream, scuttling along the bottom like little crocodiles that have sprouted fins and adapting over the course of the following year to more and more saline surroundings. Once acclimated to salt water, they'll spend their first few years in the lower reaches of their natal estuary, "hanging out like kids at a 7-Eleven," as one scientist put it, with seemingly little urgency to get on with their adult lives.
Most of the rest of their lives will be spent on wide-ranging coastal peregrinations that are not well understood. What is known is that sturgeon rarely go into waters deeper than 100 feet, and that while some remain close to home (fish from the south seem to be the less daring travelers), they can travel far -- very far -- from their native estuaries. Hudson River fish have been tracked as far north as the Bay of Fundy, and last year a sturgeon tagged in the Delaware River was followed by telemetry up to Cabot Strait, between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, a thousand-mile journey made in 53 days. Scientists have even come up with evidence that sometime in the Middle Ages, East Coast sturgeon found a route across the North Atlantic and established themselves in the Baltic Sea.

Linsay Lohan A No-Show In Court…Again
January 07, 2013 11:14 AM by Stephanie Gustafson
Troubled star Lindsay Lohan may just made a bad situation even worse. The Punk'd alum was scheduled to appear in court this morning and once again failed to show up. The good news (or bad, depending on your perspective) is that this Lohan no-show isn't likely to cause any immediate problems.
Lindsay Lohan may have been scheduled for a court appearance related to a December, 2012 nightclub altercation, but that doesn't mean the celeb gave any thought to the idea of (gasp) actually showing up. Instead, attorney Mark Jay Heller arrived ready to defend his train wreck of a client. Heller signed all required paperwork on Lohan's behalf in a court session that proved short and sweet.
Heller later explained that Lohan was not required to appear in court until an accusatory document had been filed on the part of alleged victim Tiffany Ava Mitchell. And according to Heller, Mitchell's version of the night's events are all wrong. "From my understanding, Lindsay was being approached by a fortune teller who sought to provide a reading to her and [Lindsay[ politely said 'I don't want to participate' and declined. You would think if [Mitchell] was a fortune teller, she would have been able to see this happening in advance. But obviously her skills weren't that honed…Lindsay Lohan did not commit any crime, she did not assault anyone, all she did is verbally request her privacy."
Of course, this story sharply contrasts the one told by Tiffany Ava Mitchell. According to the psychic, Lindsay Lohan refused a free reading, shouted expletives and then punched Mitchell in the face.
Lohan has another court date scheduled for January 15th, during which a judge will determine whether or not the star violated her probation. If found guilty, Lohan faces up to 245 days in jail. And it doesn't look like the law-breaking celeb will have the option of worming out of this next court appearance.

SAN ANTONIO - Early in the third quarter, Alvin Gentry called over forward Grant Hill and asked him to deliver a message.
"Tell him that if he doesn't shut his mouth, I'm going to take him out of the game," the Suns coach said.
Gentry was referring to Suns forward Amar'e Stoudemire, who was seeking an explanation for a technical foul he had received minutes earlier.
Hill motioned for Stoudemire to zip it, but by that time Stoudemire didn't need the reminder. He had collected himself, ready to resume the elimination of the Spurs, an act already in progress.
Stoudemire had been reduced to a role player for parts of this Western Conference best-of-seven series. That changed in Sunday's Game 4, a contest in which old demons threatened to derail the Suns.
Steve Nash was partially blinded by a Tim Duncan elbow. Jason Richardson struggled to find open looks, and yet Stoudemire was a consistent force, scoring 29 points. As a result, the Suns will spend this week preparing for the Western Conference finals.
"I wasn't rattled; I just wanted to ask (the official) what I did wrong," Stoudemire said of the technical. "I thought I got fouled twice. It was really no big deal."
This one wasn't easy. Beating the Spurs seldom is. George Hill's free throw with 5:45 left brought San Antonio to within four at 87-83. But on the Suns' next possession, Stoudemire buried a jump shot from the baseline.
After Matt Bonner scored for the Spurs, Stoudemire took a Nash pass and buried another shot from the perimeter.
"Two big 18-footers," Spurs guard Manu Ginobili said.
It had to taste sweet for Stoudemire, who has been haunted by the Spurs since he entered the league eight years ago. He was there for the Duncan 3-pointer in 2008. The suspensions of 2007. The disappointing five-game series loss in 2005.
"Ever since my rookie year I've been leaving this stadium with a bitter taste in my mouth in the postseason," Stoudemire said. "Every time I left, I would always say, 'I'm gonna get them back. I got to get them back. One day, I'll get them back.' A few times I almost had tears in my eyes leaving this arena. But it feels great to finally get over the hump."
As for the Western Conference finals, it was pointed out to Stoudemire that the Suns likely will be an underdog, especially should they meet the Los Angeles Lakers. On this night, Stoudemire didn't care.
"That's fine," he said. "We've been written off since October."

We have a plentiful supply of tree-ripened peaches available for purchase at Eckert's Belleville Country Store and Eckert's St. Louis Farm Market. Bursting with sweetness, Eckert's peaches herald the arrival of summer. The Eckert family selects only the best-tasting peach varieties.
Since ripening schedules and crop availability are not an exact science, always be sure to check the Eckert's Crop Update to find out what crop(s) are available.
Peaches are a stone fruit, and two main types exist: clingstone and freestone. Clingstone peaches are the earliest ripening peaches, and are named for the flesh that will not pull away from the pit. Firm clingstones are recommended for canning. Since they cannot be pitted, slice or quarter them making cuts with a paring knife toward the center and around the pit. Then lift out each slice. The freestone varieties ripen a little later and are the most common varieties found in markets. To pit a freestone peach, cut it lengthwise into halves around the pit. Twist the halves in opposite directions to separate them. Remove the pit with the tip of a knife. Since the pit can be easily removed, this peach is recommended for fresh eating.
Buying and Storing
When selecting peaches, choose slightly firm and plump peaches that yield somewhat to pressure. Blushes are an indicator of the variety of peach, but not its ripening status. Tree-ripened peaches need additional ripening once purchased to increase their softness and juiciness. Place peaches in a paper bag, and set a room temperature for 2 to 3 days. Do not refrigerate unripe peaches because this inhibits ripening and causes the fruit to become dry, mealy, and flavorless. Once peaches are ripe, they can be refrigerated from 5 to 7 days.

I just found this :
Anyone have any experience with these, know how they work, etc?
No experience but looks interesting. Almost like a roholff in theory but designed around the bb instead of the hub (or in effect doing the same thing nicolai does with a hub but nicolai puts in in the centre of the frame and uses a SS rear wheel)...
I would love more info too, I can think of some applications in downhill if it is strong enough (which I doubt there already isn't enough room for bearings in a standard bb as it is)
There is some info on them at http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/schlumpf.html and more if you follow the links to the manufacturer's site. They are an internal planetary gear.Originally Posted by HereNT
In the manufacturer's faq section they specifically say they will not work on fixed gear bikes. The reverse pressure will esplode them or something. Would be great for a 700c coaster bike, though.
As for fixed gear: not to mention it would be pretty hard to hit that button to shift while the pedals are constantly moving.
Coaster brake? I'd imagine the backward pressure from coaster brakes would do the same exploding.Originally Posted by lz4005
If you meant SS freewheel then that seems OK.
The faq says it works well with coaster brakes, but not fixes.Originally Posted by BlastRadius
It sort of makes sense, because the maximum backpressure on a coaster brake is your body weight, compared to your body weight plus the force of your forward momentum (until the skid starts) on a fixed. That would be a lot more, depending on tires, dry road, weight transfer, etc.
Could also have something to do with coasters only back pedaling 1/4 to 1/3 rotation.
I don't know, man, I'm just telling you what the thing says.

The weekend before last, I had the pleasure of participating in the inaugural EMC Data Science Global Hackathon. The event, orchestrated by kaggle as part of Big Data Week, involved teams around the world competing to build better, more accurate predictive models of metropolitan air pollution. Air pollution threatens millions of people around the globe suffering from asthma and other respiratory diseases each day, and predictive models like these can provide an early warning system to alert the public regarding dangerous levels of pollutants on an hourly basis.
There was a global competition, in which teams from London, New York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, and Turku, Finland (as well as independent entrants from around the web), battled for 24 hours straight to top the leaderboard by building the most accurate prediction models. The NYC event also included a Data Visualization competition: who could transform the competition data into the most effective and impactful visual form.
My team focused on this Data Visualization competition. Lo and behold: we won! Team CornerOffice (comprised of Frederic de Sibert, Gregory Gorin, and myself) "out-visualized" the other teams competing in the 28th floor offices at Bloomberg to take the top prize. Our submission leveraged a data analysis and visualization tool called Tableau to create customized, interactive dashboards providing insight (and some animation) around the time, location, season, weather, wind, and other factors affecting pollution levels in the Chicago metro area.
Having unfortunately elected to take a cruise to the Bahamas last December (ok I'll admit, probably not the most accurate use of the word "unfortunately"), I missed last year's annual TheLadders Hackathon, and thus last Saturday marked my first time participating in this kind of event. I was glad to get the W, but even more so to learn a great deal, meet a bunch of great people (especially my teammates Greg and Freddie), and finally see what all this "hackathon fuss" was about. Many thanks must go as well to Matt Turck and Shivon Zilis of Bloomberg for providing the impressive venue and supporting the NYC arm of this global competition. Though this was my first hackathon, it certainly won't be my last!
Noah Goldenberg is "The Data Guy" (aka Research Analyst) at TheLadders. He's a New Jersey native, but also spent time as a Virginian and occasionally still says "y'all". When he's not wrangling data or winning hackathons, he likes to take it easy and run marathons.

this bridge is currently being repainted a grey color....the orange paint is being removed. I always understood that the orange paint was chosen because of the bauxite dust from the former Kaiser aluminum plant near the bridge coating the structure and "painting" it orange no matter what the actual color was. But....that could have just been my grandfather (who worked at the old Ethyl chemical plant) pulling my leg.
This bridge has a single rail line. The HPL in New Orleans has dual rail lines. The mention of 1989 may be from when the roadways were widened.
A real workhorse of a bridge! Two train tracks PLUS two vehicular lanes along both sides (4 total lanes for cars) Narrow lanes are less than 9' wide! Very scary with big trucks and cars and trains. I suggest adult diapers for the driver and passengers just keep eyes closed during crossing! See YouTube for videos.
Truss span lengths are 490', 848', 650', 848', and 490'. Engineering News Record had a detailed article on its design and construction.
This bridge was built in 1940. Great site!
This bridge was completed and open to traffic approximately in 1940 not 1989. My father helped construct the substructure of the bridge which is why I was born in Baton Rouge in 1938.

ATF's flawed sting efforts in Milwaukee draw ire
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Several members of Congress are calling for an investigation into the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives after the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported this week that the agency conducted a flawed sting operation in Milwaukee.
The 10-month sting operation involved buying guns and drugs from felons, sometimes at such a premium that defendants bought guns from gun shops and sold them to the agents for a quick profit.
The Journal Sentinel compiled its information by combing through police reports, court

NIPISSING – It was a love that no one thought could happen and this Valentines Day the magic comes to television in Meet the Coywolf.
It is believed that this new species, a cross between a coyote and an eastern wolf, have existed for less than a century. They came into being at the south end of Algonquin Park as coyotes moved into a territory inhabited by a dwindling wolf population.
"The last vestige of eastern wolves was in Algonquin Park and eastern wolves are the only wolves that can mate with a western coyote to create this new hybrid that is actually fertile," said documentary producer and director Susan Fleming whose documentary Meet the Coywolf aired recently on The Nature of Things. "This is a rare thing."
As settlers and cities filled the lands wolves were displaced and pushed further and further north.
"Western coyotes recognized the void when wolves left the lands. They started to move up from the west in the U.S. and came all the way up," she said. "Where wolves and coyotes met was the southern tip of Algonquin Park."
The yip-howl sound of the eastern coyote, otherwise known as a coywolf can send shivers down your spine, a sound not wholly unfamiliar to people in the Almaguin region. It is haunting and it is that sound that Fleming finds so appealing.
She could hear the noise as she sat on her deck in Uxbridge.
"It was sort of a cross between a wolf howl and a baby crying," she said.
The eastern coyote has the enlarged head and the jaw structure similar to a wolf but without the body mass of a wolf but are larger than the western coyote.
"They can't produce that big deep sound of a wolf," she said.
The sound often starts as a howl before transitioning into the yip yip sound of the coyote.
Night after night she searched for the source of the sound.
"I finally saw this animal at the top of the hill that was beautiful and impressive and it looked like it was looking right through me to my soul," she said. "It was an eastern coyote."
That spawned her investigation. She had to know what this animal was.
"That's when I found out about this hybrid," she said.
That was about two-and-a-half years ago. Trying to catch the illusive coywolf on film involved more than 200 all-nighters.
"It's the hardest thing I've ever done because they are so smart and so illusive," she said. "They are all around us. But have you ever seen one?"
Fleming says wolves have been disappearing for the past 100 years, a breed of animal almost hunted to extinction.
"This is the return of a new top predator. They are filling a niche in the ecosystem," she said. "They are returning to lands once roamed by wolves."
Coywolf migration as moved from Algonquin Park down through southern Ontario, Quebec, into the maritimes and down through the eastern seaboard of the United States including Boston, Maine and New York State.
"There was just a report about a month ago that at the tip of Illinois they've discovered the hybrid gene in the coyote population there," said Fleming. "Shockingly it took western coyotes 300 years to get up to where Algonquin is and in the last 100 years coywolves have moved all this way, almost two-thirds of the way down in one-third of the amount of time."
"These animals have moved and are mating with other coywolves or western coyotes as they move down," she said.
Fleming says the number of coywolves is unknown and research into this breed is just beginning.
She says it is people like Ministry of Natural Resources biologist John Pisapio, Trent University geneticist Bradley White and scientist John Benson who are working to figure out what these animals are and what they are up to.
"What's fascinating is as quickly as they are figuring things out things are changing because the eastern coyote are so adaptable," she said. "They are so able to exploit the landscape that they shift their patterns to fit whatever the situation is."
This adaptability has these animals thriving in even the most urban environments, including places like Toronto and New York, managing to stay under the radar.
"I think they are constantly changing. That is the difficulty for the scientists studying them," said Fleming. "They are constantly shifting their ways."
She says after filming them for two years she understands what renowned coyote expert Stan Gehrt calls their "phantomlike appearance on the landscape."
Fleming says she saw the animals more in the city than she ever did living 20 years in the country.
"Partly because farmers shoot them, it's always open season on coyotes so they learn to be really secretive, and partly that they blend in. It is just so easy to blend in with a field or pasture," she said.
It is this illusiveness that makes it so difficult for scientists to study.
Fleming's camera assistant spent at least five months camping and staying the park with Benson.
"Benson's project has been ongoing for a couple of years," she said, admiring the dedication to his research. "We spent a really long time up there. It is such a magical place in this world."
Fleming has discovered through her work with the scientists that coywolves are all individuals with their own traits, often influenced by their life experiences.
"One of the scientists said to me that they seem to have natural paranoia of people," she said.
Fleming takes her cue on this from renowned Gehrt.
"I've really seen that in my own experience. They really don't want to go near you," she said.
Feeding changes behaviour, says Fleming, whether intentional on the part of humans or not.
"These animals do look doglike and I think we have a natural compassion for dogs. We like dogs and we feel comfortable with dogs. But they are not. They are wild animals that need to be respected," she said. "I think as long as we let them be they'll go about their business and we can go about ours and we can all live happily but I think the thing that changes the dynamic is feeding and we have to be really careful."
As a nature documentary filmmaker Fleming says this is the hardest film that she has ever made she feels lucky that she is able to witness nature first hand and speak with some of the best scientists in the world.
And after 200 nights in the bush she remains in awe of the coywolf.
"They are such impressive creatures because of their beauty. They are impressive creatures because of their intellect, how they manage to pick up and read all the signals of an environment and can move through it without being detected but still going about their business," she said. "They really are incredible creatures."

Sheep Fescue Grass
Product Summary
Sheep fescue is a cool season, long-lived perennial bunchgrass similar to hard fescue but more drought-tolerant. It has an extensive root system and is native to many parts of North America. Sheep fescue is a very attractive grass with a blue-green color and is often used in wildflower plantings and sometimes as a drought-tolerant lawn grass.
More Information
Looking to establish a meadow-like lawn or garden? Need an eye-catching ornamental grass to complete your water-wise landscape? Sheep fescue is a great choice. Its low-growing, bunching form makes it ideal for partnering with wildflowers. The dense root system makes sheep fescue an excellent grass for weed control and soil stabilization, and is commonly used along waterways, roadsides and steep slopes. Sheep fescue is very adaptable to a variety of soil types, climates and temperatures. It's also resistant to most traditional lawn grass diseases.

Never mind...only video not audio.
If you signed up for monthly access, it only give you VIDEO access, not audio like the pregame activities.
Bizarre, but try this: Log in and view coaches press conference (premium). Bet it plays and you're good for the game also.

Mine is doing the same thing . . .
same here, I am getting ready to be very angry.
<-------- (Thats me if I can't watch the game)
Me too. It won't let me watch jack ****.
Has anyone here sent a note to that support team or whatever?
also, i don't like the new cyclones.com page. Too much stuff that just pops up when you scroll over it.
or maybe i'm just grumpy cause i can't even watch interviews right now
There are two different subscriptions for clonezone this year. One audio only and one video only. Because of the screwed up last minute dealings with yahoo and learfield (sp?) communications they had to offer a separate subscription for gameday audio. So if you want to listen to the pregame (audio-only) and then watch the game (video w/ audio) you got to fork over an addition $5 for the audio-only subscription.
nevermind. I tried loading my clonezone stuff in Internet Explorer and it worked. Just doesn't work in firefox
I am having the same problem with FireFox, says I need to be a subscriber which I already Am! Gonna try Internet Explorer I guess.
You have to go to the right spot... I had trouble too but I have the audio only feed now.
Click the subscribe button, login... get live events... hell I don't know. It's weird how I got there but it works now
Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State,

I've never gotten CZ stuff to work in Firefox, but I haven't had a problem with it in IE. Definitely go with IE.
It does not work in safari either.
I got it to work in Windows IE.
Thank you guys you saved a lot of poeple from having a really bad night if I'd have missed tonights game.
wow...this whole audio subscription/video subscription is a pain in the ***. And I'm seriously sick of the Axe commercial after 17 times.
Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

*Hitchhiking in Ecuador*
^^^Click here or on the photo above to watch the 2012 Travel Slideshow^^^
I did my 2012 wedding photography recap so I figured it was also appropriate to post a 2012 travel recap.
2012 was personally tumultuous, yes, but an amazing year, nonetheless. Especially when it came to globetrotting. I feel almost ridiculous being able to say that I saw so much beauty around the world all in the span of 12 short months. It's really not fair how amazing my life is. I mean…I spent a large portion of June VISITING A CHOCOLATE FACTORY IN ECUADOR. Seriously. That's my life. That's my life! I don't know how I got so lucky.
The above slideshow has photos from every country I hit up in 2012:
- Venezuela
- Bolivia
- Peru
- Ecuador
- Brazil
- United States
- England
- Finland
- Estonia
- China
- Spain
Brazil, Spain, England, Peru and the U.S., obviously, were all repeats for me so that means in total I visited 6 new countries last year. My goal is to finish visiting every country in all of South America by the time I'm 30. Mostly because I'm worried that I may no longer be living in South America after the age of 30 and so those destinations would become vastly more inconvenient for me.
You may have seen a few familiar faces pop up in that video…such as the infamous Ashley Ambirge, or, you know, PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA. Cause,yeah, I met him last year. No, for real. One of my incredible couples invited me to accompany them to a meet a greet. We shook hands and he looked me in the eyes and thanked me sincerely when I told him I thought he was a great president.
Meeting President Obama was one of many highlights of my year. My other big travel moments in 2012 were taking two trips that had me scared shitless. Conquering my fears felt so good! I traveled across the Bolivian altiplano…and loved it. Even though I'd been terrified to go. And China ended up being my favorite destination of 2012, even though I was so overwhelmed and nervous that when I got there I sat in the Starbucks and cried before leaving the airport. Finally making it to Machu Picchu, a dream destination of mine, was another moment this year where I just sat and gave thanks for the goodness that is my life. It was a magical place with an incredible energy and I'll never forget it.
In the slideshow you'll see a few pictures from Spain, which I haven't even gotten around to blogging yet! Even though that trip was all the way back in September! That was an insanely fun journey through Madrid, Sevilla and Grenada with my mom, culminating in photographing a wedding in Spanish wine country with my good friend Sjoerd Booij, then staying in 500 Euro a night hotel suite and having a dance party with Sjoerd, my mom and Val and Adam, who happened to be in Barcelona at the same time! AMAZEBALLS!
Though, I have to say, out of all of these things, winner of best travel blog of 2012 HAS to be Dancing on the Bolivian Altiplano. I still can't believe that I got 5 complete strangers to dance like fools to Rihanna with me in the Middle of Nowhere, Bolivia.
This is my life. I still love it. I am incredibly appreciative. Ash is here with me in Miami right now. She bought a plane ticket on Monday to fly in on Tuesday and we're going to the Bahamas on Saturday. My dad laughed when I told him she was randomly coming last minute to travel with me again. He shook his head and said, "You girls have no idea what it's like to live in the real world. And I hope you never do."
I hope so too. Screw the real world. Kyle's world is a pretty great place to be

Marlow White was started by John "Whitey" Biskupovic in 1879, a European immigrant who used to work at shipyards. It all started when the company's uniforms found its first customers, the Soldiers of the coastal artillery stationed at Fort Pickens and Sailors assigned to naval aviation school at Pensacola, Florida. During World War 2, the company started selling uniforms to troops belonging to all three forces i.e. the Army, Navy and the Airforce, at instalments throughout the country.
In 1968, the company transformed into a telephone based mail-order business for American troops stationed throughout the world. Since then, the company has become an unstoppable force, supplying the Army with quality uniforms made to their satisfaction.
After the year 2000, the company started a campaign which would revolutionize how they did business. With the introduction of an e-commerce enabled website, a well structured telephonic system and a company wide introduction of computer infrastructure, the company sales and customer satisfaction reached new highs and the company continues to grow to date.
Even after expanding into new markets, the company never gave up on its basic principle of delivering "Excellence with Value", and that has made all the difference.
