Your childhood hero
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Your childhood hero is a fantastical piece of fiction, poorly developed and sloppily executed. He is often criticized as being false, shallow, gay and derivative by kids who make fun of your lunch box. Which is quite gay. As you have aged, you have recognized flaws with your childhood hero, such as that he's gay. However, you're determined to emulate him for the rest of your life, inevitably this will result in you becoming Elton John.
edit Characteristics of Your Childhood Hero
Your childhood hero is often portrayed as muscular, and endowed with the ability to kick everyone's ass, especially Jerry. Additionally, your childhood hero is a known bon vivant and has a sex appeal which others(men) find irresistible. While these traits build the claim that your childhood hero is a woMANizer, he does remain endlessly faithful to you, and will never leave you just because your parents are fighting more than they used to.
Your childhood hero has never called you fat.
edit Examples of Your Childhood Hero
edit Superhero
The most common role for your childhood hero, the "Superhero Type" adorns himself in brightly-colored lycra, yet remains a heterosexual. *wink wink* His form fitting costume highlights his package, which you know is massive. Resplendent and turgid, brazen and longing, like a sculpture forged by the gods, your childhood hero's package is a symbol of perfection in a cold and distant world. You must stop yourself from thinking of your childhood hero this way! You must maintain your friendship with your childhood hero as a platonic one, although if the event came up, you know he'd be very gentle.
edit Athletic Star
The most troublesome of all childhood hero types, the "Athletic Star Type" is lauded by you for the way he catches impossible passes and executes a fine dance following successful feats. While problems arrive later on when your childhood hero is invariably arrested for rape, assault and/or drug charges, those who have selected this type of hero often play sports and thus are unlikely to engage in illicit activities themselves. (src)
edit Ninja
A common point of obsession for very lonely children, the "Ninja Type" hero dies harder than most. Like the Superhero Type, the Ninja Type is adorned in a monotone uniform, although he does not create the superhero's problem of "package infatuation", since ninjas have no packages. Upon entering a clan, all ninja are castrated, so they don't have to worry about being kicked in the nuts. (src) Of course, emulating this hero type creates its own host of problems, and Parent Groups are lobbying for a worldwide ban of L'il Assassin Brand Crotch Guillotines. Children with Ninja Type heroes have been known to flip out and make websites.
edit Your Dad
Your dad is not your childhood hero. Your dad was never your childhood hero. Batman is a billionare. John Elway threw 300 touchdown passes. Ninja have throwing stars, and you're going to choose your dad!? Your dad drinks. A lot. Plus, your dad is always watching TV in his underwear, and he won't ever put on pants, even when your new best friend is coming over. And then you have to hear about it all week at school. Note to father: If your child says anything remotely along the lines of "you're my hero", he's going to ask you for something very expensive, very soon.
edit Someone Else's Dad
In sharp contrast to your dad, someone else's dad is fucking awesome. When your dad made Corn Flakes for dinner, someone else's dad took his kids out for pizza. When your dad was taking you on another boring camping trip, someone else's dad took his family to Six Flags. Someone else's dad has a huge stack of porn he doesn't even bother to hide, and he totally doesn't care if you drink beer. Plus, someone else's dad drives a way cool car and is going to take you for a ride in it "one of these days". I wish your dad was more like someone else's dad.
edit Your Childhood Hero Through The Ages
As you have aged, your childhood hero has changed and morphed to fit the ever-expanding chasm that is your loneliness. Some examples:
edit Adolescence
- Your childhood hero adopts a son who has the same name as you. During their first day together, the boy finds a bottle of Michelob Golden which is still half full. Your childhood hero says "I've never drank it, and I don't intend to." The two hug.
- Your childhood hero accuses his adopted son of having his bike run over intentionally, but his son denies it. Your childhood hero believes him. The two hug.
edit Teenage Years
- Your childhood hero enters a bizarro-like world called VaginaTown. The surroundings are strange and foreign, yet something about them makes him want to stay.
- After spending a few months in VaginaTown, your childhood hero meets a woman named Lauren, who is about your age. Lauren tells your childhood hero "I'm sorry for all the things I've said. I actually find your action figures highly erotic." The next 16 pages are far too graphic to even describe.
edit Adulthood
- Your childhood hero takes a job in a mailroom, and is immediately promoted to Vice President of the company. At the celebration party held in his honor, everyone talks about what a dick Lenny is to everyone else in the mailroom. Lenny is fired, and promptly commits suicide.
- Your childhood hero exhibits his rarely seen "dark side", and ruthlessly beats his arch-villian X-Wife with a crowbar. Following the vicious murder, he repeats the process with X-Wife's sidekick Mr. Eight Incher.
edit Beyond
- Your childhood hero successfully files for an extension to his unemployment benefits.
- Your childhood hero endures his prostate cancer with a quiet dignity.

Sydney FC's new marquee signing only heard of the A-League when Alessandro Del Piero was lured to Australia.
Marc Janko, Austria's 31-year-old captain and striker, was named on Thursday to replace the Italian superstar following his two-season stay in the harbour city.
Del Piero provided a huge boost for the Sky Blues and the A-League, his presence coinciding with a lift in memberships, crowd figures, TV ratings and merchandise sales.
While a big admirer of Del Piero, Janko - who has signed only a one-year deal for the 2014-15 season - isn't daunted by filling his sizeable boots at Sydney FC.
"I have big shoes - I'm quite tall," joked the 1.96m Janko.
"He's a world-class player.
"(But) I'm a different kind of player. I'm not a player who creates the game. I'm the one who is front and centre to score the goals."
Janko has scored 17 goals in 40 appearances for Austria, while his club CV includes stints at Red Bull Salzburg, FC Twente, FC Porto and, most recently, Turkish club Trabzonspor.
Janko bolsters new coach Graham Arnold's already impressive strike force which includes Shane Smeltz, Bernie Ibini and Australian marquee Alex Brosque.
Arnold believes Janko is the perfect fit for his squad.
"Marc has an exceptional goal-scoring record ... he will complement our current strikers well," he said.
"We have put in a lot of time and effort to ensure he has the right qualities and right character to fit into our squad, and I'm very happy we have been able to sign him.
"At 6 foot 5, he will cause a lot of problems for opposition defenders and he will give us a different threat up front."
Janko is in line to make his debut for his new club against the Bonnyrigg White Eagles at Leichhardt Oval next Wednesday in a pre-season practice match.

Wed 28th Aug 2013 | News
Autodesk introduces Maya LT 2014, a new 3D modeling and animation tool for mobile game developers.
Autodesk has introduced Autodesk Maya LT 2014, a new 3D modeling and animation tool tailored for independent and mobile game developers. They showed off this pretty impressive beta a couple of weeks ago to the press. Available immediately and compatible with certain industry-standard game engines, Maya LT draws inspiration from award-winning Autodesk Maya software to bring an intuitive, affordable new toolset for the creation of professional-grade 3D mobile, PC and web-based game assets.
Maya LT gives developers a simplified toolset to create high-quality 3D characters, props and games that can be integrated into any game engine. Users will also be able to access models created with the 123DCatch app directly in Maya LT and alter them for use in mobile, web and PC-based games. Maya LT will be available under a monthly or quarterly rental agreement, in addition to a perpetual license, to better fit the production cycles of many indie and mobile game developers.
"We see indie game developers as a key part of the industry, driving innovative new production techniques and gameplay," said Chris Bradshaw, senior vice president, Autodesk Media & Entertainment. "The market is fiercely competitive, and Maya LT can provide indie developers and small studios with a powerful, yet simplified workflow for designing and animating remarkable 3D characters, environments and props – at a price that fits within even the most modest budget. It's a practical solution that closely matches the needs of the mobile game development production cycle and helps developers rise above the noise and really shine."
Maya LT debuts with an easy-to-navigate UI and industry-renowned 3D modeling and animation tools that enable independent game developers to rapidly deliver 3D assets into game engines. The software integrates seamlessly into game development workflows with out-of-the box support for Unity 3D Engine and Unreal® Engine™ through the FBX file format for primary data exchange, and the ability to import certain 3D asset formats [Maya (.ma, .mb), Maya LT (.mlt), OBJ, FBX, AI, EPS] and texture formats (BMP, PNG, DDS, EXR, TGA, TIFF), as well as export 3D assets in FBX and .mlt.
Key Features
Maya LT has a number of features customized specifically for the needs of mobile and independent game developers: powerful modeling tools to help create and alter 3D assets of any size and export FBX files containing up to 25,000 polygons per object, animation tools that include a skeleton generator and inverse kinematics with Autodesk HumanIK, and high-quality viewport previews to help developers view assets as they would appear in game, reducing iteration and asset creation time. Other key features are lighting and texture baking, giving designers professional global illumination tools to help simulate near realistic lighting through baking lighting data into texture maps, and vertex maps.
Autodesk Maya LT 2014 is now available for Mac and Windows at a starting price of $795* SRP per perpetual license. Term licenses will also be available as part of a monthly, quarterly or annual rental plan in the near future, starting at $50* SRP, $125* SRP and $400* SRP respectively.

Proposition 8 Unconstitutional
Gay Marriage Supporters Cheer as Appeals Court Rules Prop 8 Is Unconstitutional
A federal appeals court has reaffirmed that California's gay-marriage ban is unconstitutional. Today, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals found that voter-passed Proposition 8 violates the 14th Amendment of the US constitution. Gay marriage supporters outside the courthouse in San Francisco cheered the decision, but the fight isn't over yet. The case will likely make it to the US Supreme Court as early as next year.
The court's ruling stated: "Proposition 8 served no purpose, and had no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California." The court also refused to throw out the decision of lower court judge, retired Chief US District Judge Vaughn R. Walker, on the basis of his sexual orientation. After the trial, Judge Walker, who is openly gay, revealed that he has been in a same-sex relationship for 10 years. See photos of the celebrations now.

The Crap We Missed – Wednesday 10.31.12
Welcome to Wednesday's The Crap We Missed featuring a set shot from the sure to be hilarious Las Vegas, described by IMDB as "Four best friends in their late-60's decide to escape retirement and throw a Las Vegas bachelor party for the only one of them who has remained single." Sounds great! But please, oh please make this scene slo-mo and set to hip-hop!! I just love the humorous juxtaposition of upper-class white people engaged in banal social situations while the musical expression of the impoverished perfectly exploits how different they truly are. Oh, comedy! *steps off soap-box* Anyway, we've also got Eli Roth and the only way he gets it up anymore, ditto for Russell Brand, and another set shot, this time of Nick Nolte in a role that clearly should have gone to Jon Hamm.
If that last line made you think that's a pic of Nolte's dickprint and you feverishly clicked on it, it might be time to make some real changes in your life,

(US) CFP (edition proposals): A-R Editions series Recent Researches in Music; Collegium Musicum: Yale University
"CFP: A-R Editions
A-R Editions seeks proposals for editions of music to be included in the seven Recent Researches in Music series (Middle Ages and Early Renaissance, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries, American Music, and Oral Traditions). Each edition is usually devoted to works by a single composer or to a single genre of composition and contains an introduction to the music and its historical context, a critical report, and translations of vocal texts.
A-R Editions also seeks proposals for editions of music to be included in the Collegium Musicum: Yale University series. This series seeks to present a varied selection of works that draws from a particular repertory or historical context or that reflects a particular thematic focus. The works should be of interest to early music performers and ensembles (medieval through mid-18th century).

"simply the best gloves on the market. I have 15" wide black retail version. Very light, palms are nice and soft, good feel for stick. Protection could be better on a $200+ glove, but warrior was trying to make it as flexible and light as possible. little bit over priced, but definatly a nasty glove. Prob should have bought a 14" rather then a 15, fits really big."

When planning the same holiday year after year, how do you keep your celebration fresh and interesting while maintaining a sense of tradition? We asked our favorite bloggers and food people to share what's inspiring their Thanksgiving planning this year. From ancestor's recipes and falling leaves, to beautiful piles of ingredients and thoughtful home decor, there was no shortage of imagination. See what motivates some of the most creative minds we know, and then start planning your annual feast.
Every year, it's tradition that my husband, Scott deep-fries a turkey. Hello crispy skin! We're big on veggies, too; you're likely to see quite a few dishes on our Thanksgiving table. You really can't go wrong with snappy green beans, shallots sautéed in nutty browned butter and toasted hazelnuts. Or maybe we could toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, bacon and garlic and roast for 20 minutes for a simple side dish.
Another one you might see is Brussels sprouts, one of the most controversial vegetables, right next to artichokes and mustard greens. You either love them or hate them. I love them. My husband hates them. But he ate these Brussels sprouts.
The day after Thanksgiving is fun, too – I love all those turkey bones! I love making Turkey Congee the day after. And if I really want to be inspired for Thanksgiving, all I have to do it look at this, "how to cook a turkey" by my oldest son Andrew, because that is what it's all about, family.

Marketing Sponsored by
I have been telling stories since I was old enough to talk. Ask anyone who knows me, and they will likely say I was born to be a storyteller. And after nine years working in the beauty business, there is one fact I know to be absolute: like me, every beauty brand has a story. Simple or detailed, short or long, old or new—all brands have something to say and a compelling and emotional story to share.
However, that doesn't mean all stories are created equal. Although they remain one of the most strategically important branding elements and are required, brand stories often aren't executed with the excitement and creativity needed to make the right impact on the two groups who matter most: consumers and retailers. To me, a successful brand is a story well told, period.
After writing and rewriting hundreds of brand stories throughout the years, I have identified the seven deadly sins of story writing I see most often. So put on your editor glasses and get out your red pens. It's time to start writing a better brand story.
Today, there are more beauty brands than ever vying for your consumer's attention, which means quickly grabbing her interest and keeping it is important and hard. Your brand's story has to sing from the first hello.
But before you pick up your pen or sit down in front of your computer screen to start writing, take a moment to ask yourself, "What is special about my brand?" And not special in terms of the typical "special" things all brands claim ("Our moisturizer hydrates the skin like nothing else!") but interesting from that unique, ownable place only your brand can occupy. Is it your origins or your founder? Your name? An interesting quirk about one of your ingredients, or how the product is delivered to the skin?
Once you have that answer, write about it. And write about it in a way that is fun, engaging and compelling, but not too jargon-y. Relying on overused industry jargon may seem like the way to go to be competitive, but the truth is, consumers don't want to read the same old thing again and again. Instead, you want some fun nugget or point of difference that makes consumers stop, pay attention and, ultimately, purchase. Every winning brand I've ever encountered has this edge, so take some time to discover it before you begin writing.
Having just told you to dig deep and find those fun brand elements that are unique to you, I'm now also going to tell you to be judicious in how you implement them. If you have a scientifically validated research technique for extracting your 14 key ingredients that is patented four times in three countries after five decades of research, that's wonderful—but you need to figure out early on which of those messages is going to be your lead driver, and then lead with it.
Trying to squeeze every single detail into your story is understandable, but that ultimately runs the risk of creating confusion for your retailers and consumers because everything just seems too complicated. At the end of the day, your consumer does want to know all of the details that make your brand unique, but first and foremost, she just wants to know how does it work and is it for me. Tell her these things clearly and succinctly upfront, and save the rest of the story for your website and collateral marketing.
I've often thought there's an interesting reality about beauty brands that is easy to see yet not so easy for any of us admit, and that is, basically, we're all telling remarkably similar stories. After all, the core message of most skin care is it treats the skin.
For example, take cleanser. Whether your formula cleanses with special micro-bubbles or powers away dirt with a multi-enzyme foam, the basic promise of a cleanser is that it cleanses, and in one way or another, this is what we all write in our stories.
However, there's a fine line between saying something similar and saying something too similar. Telling your brand's story too closely to an already-existing brand story is the kiss of death. Not only do you run the risk of infringing on another brand's intellectual property (and potentially, legal action), but closely hitching your story onto another brand's story creates affinity in the consumer's mind for your competition—not you.
Although it's hard for me to believe that any beauty entrepreneur or brand could struggle with finding their story, it happens—and it happens often. Usually when it happens, it means one of two things: either the story is muddled with too much confusing information (see upcoming Sin #5) or the story is stripped bare of almost all critical information and basically doesn't say anything at all.

Bhubaneswar, Aug 31 (IANS) The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued show-cause notice to a power distribution company after it denied compensation to an electrocution victim in Odisha, a complainant said Saturday.
The commission issued notice to the Southern Electricity Supply Company of Odisha Limited (Southco), which distributes electricity in eight southern districts of the state, said Akhanda, managing trustee of rights organisation India Media Centre (IMC).
He said a 30-year-old woman, Sanjulata Tarei, died after allegedly coming in contact with a live wire in Krushnaprasad area of Puri district Nov 2, 2012.
There was heavy rainfall in the area and the wire had come to a dangerously low height from the ground.
Southco, while admitting the incident of electrocution, had informed the state government that its franchisee company Enzen Global Solutions Private Limited was looking after the operation and maintenance and should be asked to pay the compensation.
The NHRC did not agree with the view of the Southco and said the supplier of electricity was liable for the damage caused, said Akhanda who lodged the complaint.
It described it as a "clear-cut case of negligence on the part of the supplier of the electricity for not maintaining the services in safe conditions".
The NHRC issued notice to the company to show cause as to why appropriate compensation be not recommended to be paid to the next of kin of the deceased.
The commission has asked the company to submit its response within four weeks.

The NERSC Allocation Request Form (ERCAP)
Requests to use NERSC resources are submitted annually via a web form known as the ERCAP (Energy Research Computing Allocations Process) Request Form. ERCAP is accessed through the NERSC Information Management (NIM) web interface and is available year-round.
If you are new to NERSC and want to apply for an allocation as a new Principal Investigator please read Applying for your First NERSC Allocation.
In general existing projects should be renewed for the next allocation year - you should not start a new request if you have an existing repository. Renewing carries forward most of the responses to the request questions and preserves the project's user list.
Renewing a Current Project
If you have existing repositories you should usually renew them; this preserves your user lists. Point your browser to nim.nersc.gov, and login to NIM. Click the My Stuff menu and select My ERCAP Requests. You will see a list of your ERCAP requests.
To renew an existing project for the next allocation year click its Renew link. Your renewed ERCAP Project Overview will load. After you click the Save Project Overview button the project PI name and title will appear. You can then click on any ERACP tab in any order, but before switching tabs you must click a tab's Save button to save any edits you have made to that section.
To continue working on a proposal you have previously saved click on its Edit link. Do NOT start a new request!
Starting a New Request
After logging into NIM, click the My Stuff menu and select My ERCAP Requests, then scroll to the bottom of the ERCAP requests list of titles and click the Start a new request link. Note, however, that existing NERSC users who are not yet registered as a PI or PI Proxy, will see instead a button labeled Click here to start a new ERCAP request as a PI.
During times when you can submit a new request either for the current year or for the next year (typically between late August and December) you will be prompted for the request year. If you want to compute during the current year make sure to chose the current year (which is selected by default). Then click Start new ERCAP request.
The ERCAP application form will now load. The questions on the application form are divided into several pages. Each set of questions is grouped on a page under a tab. You will be in the first page, called Project Overview. Once you have answered the questions in this section, click the Save Project Overview button. After that you can click on any ERACP tab in any order, but you must click a tab's Save button to save edits you have made to that section.
To continue working on a proposal you have previously saved click on its Edit link. (Please do not start a new request.)
Project Overview Tab
Principal Investigators, PI Proxies and Senior Investigators
The Principal Investigator, commonly referred to as the PI, is responsible for the project and for managing any resources awarded to the project. The PI is usually one of the PIs on a grant listed on the DOE Funding tab.
If your project has multiple PIs, please pick one to be the NERSC PI. Other PIs can be listed as Senior Investigators and/or PI Proxies. Senior Investigators are the key contributors in your project. If you need to change the PI for the project contact the Account Support Group at firstname.lastname@example.com.
A Principal Investigator can designate one or more "PI Proxies" as Authorized Preparers who help to to fill out the request form and to manage the project's users. You can add a PI Proxy to your project by clicking the Add a preparer (PI Proxy) link. (NOTE: This link is not displayed until after you have clicked on the Save Project Overview button the first time.)
Project Title, URL, Image, and Name
Please choose a project title that succinctly describes your project, suitable for display in award lists and in NERSC's Annual Report. The NERSC Project Title is not required to match the title of any existing DOE grant or project. The Title is limited to 256 characters; shorter titles are preferable (100 or fewer characters). In summary, the title should be short and descriptive.
All projects should provide a project URL; these are useful in obtaining additional information about a project (e.g. when responding to queries for information).
You are encouraged to upload a "logo image" for your project. These images are used to identify projects on NERSC web pages that describe large running jobs, science news, press releases, and displays at the SuperComputing conferences. The maximum image size you may upload is 20 MB. Acceptable image types are png (preferred), jpg and gif. It is best to use a square image (one that has the same number of pixels on both sides). Images will be vetted by NERSC staff before being displayed publicly.
Also choose a short project name (10 characters maximum) that uniquely identifies your project. Examples of such project names are "MPICH" (for the project that supports MPICH software development) and "STAR" (for the project that analyzes data from the STAR experiment). If you wish, you may use a repository name as your project name.

Advice on answering long text questions
It is not recommended that you directly type in long answers. Rather, compose your answers elsewhere, and paste them into the ERCAP text boxes.
Note for Internet Explorer users: some Explorer browsers interpret a carriage return (the Enter or Return key) in the short text boxes (the text boxes without a scroll bar) as a Save: if you enter a carriage control in a short text box it is as though you had clicked the Save button. Also note that you can use the Tab key to jump to the next text box.
Most of the text boxes have a maximum of 4,000 characters associated with them. If your answer exceeds 4,000 characters you will get an error message when you click Save. You should remove some of your text and try to Save again.
Using HTML tags
We recommend that you use only a limited set of HTML tags in your answers. The HTML tags below are the ones that are recommended. Note that when you are editing your ERCAP request you will see the HTML tags; when you display the form in read/only mode (by clicking the the Show Complete Request tab) you will see your text as it should appear. If you need any help inserting HTML tags, contact a NERSC consultant.
- <pre> and </pre>
- Use these around sections of fixed width text to preserve column alignment.
- <sup> and </sup>; <sub> and </sub>
- Use these in formulas for superscripts and subscripts.
- <img>
- Use this to display an image. This can be useful for formulas: compose your formula with latex or word or some other tool. Save it as a GIF or JPG file at your home site. You can then display it with the <img> tag in an ERCAP text box. Example:
<img src="http://hpcf.nersc.gov/images/IBMSPphase2.jpg">
ERCAP error messages
If you enter invalid data into a text box, ERCAP will detect the error situation when you click the Save button. You will see the following red error message on top of the tabs:
FOUND ERRORS ! Please scroll down to correct.
This form cannot be saved until errors are corrected.
You should scroll down until you find another red error message adjacent to the text box that contains the invalid data. Correct the error and click the Save button again. Your work cannot be saved until you have corrected the error.
A common error is entering more than 4,000 characters into a text box. In that case you would see the error message:
*Entered value too long
Correct your error and try saving your answers again by clicking the Save button.
If you try to Finish your request without first validating your user list (this applies to renewals only) you will see the following message:
Please validate your user list before submitting your request. Request has been saved, but not submitted.

Dune Table A wood table
Dune by Enzo Berti for La Palma is a height adjustable rectangular dining table, which accommodates up to 6 guests. This table has a special feature: the partly glass tabletop encase a space, allowing you to create stress-relieving patterns in the sand in the tradition of the zen rock garden. Use the double-sided comb to create waves reminiscent of beach dunes from this year's summer vacation. Or add the treasured elements of any season with for instance autumn leaves, ocean shells and other objects results in a 3D seasons table without devaluation of the function. The aluminum frame is available in either aluminum or white varnished finish, and the top is divided in 3 parts: glass top in the middle covering a shelf and lateral solid wooden tops in bleached oak or walnut stained veneer. Optional white sand and wooden comb are included. W:140 x D:70 x 72-74 cm. Dune is available also as a coffee table

Lifetime's new series, 7 Days of Sex, is all about couples amping up the va-va-voom in their marriages with sex. Care to join?
-Mrs. Betty
A couple of weeks ago a BettyConfidential editor forwarded me an email from Lifetime Television announcing their new reality series, 7 Days of Sex … Would I be interested in participating in my own 7-day challenge? "After 7 days you won't believe what couples discover about themselves underneath the sheets," they wrote. "When the going gets tough, could your marriage / relationship survive… 7 Days of Sex?"
I don't know! After being married for quite some time and with a family that has grown from "Tea for Two" to "Table for Four!", let's just say that having TOO much sex is not a problem; so, of course, I was intrigued. But …
As you can probably tell, I'm way more discreet about my sex life than the people on the show. Do I have what it takes to not only demand sex seven nights in a row, but also write about it, too?
The Pettitt family, featured on episode three.
Read I Love Sex, But That Doesn't Mean I'm Easy
Why, yes, I think I do! (It helps that my husband had a most enthusiastic response to the proposal!) However, I'm not going to tell you my name, so you can just call me Mrs. Betty. First and foremost, I don't want my kids Googling my name to read about this little adventure. Is that totally square? And here's another confession: I actually found myself blushing watching the first episode! I know. Paris Hilton I am not. But that doesn't mean I don't have an inner sex goddess … Though she's been pretty neglected of late.
I'm sure my husband would agree — if he even took the time to think about it. But, alas, that's something that's a rare commodity these days — TIME! Time to just be together, to connect on a romantic, fun level, to spend even 15 minutes together that doesn't involve anything else.
So what the heck. We're going to try it. Every day, starting tonight, for seven days straight, we're going to have sex.
I'll be reporting back as the week goes by — and I'd love to know if you decide to join the challenge yourself! 7 Days of Sex airs Thursdays at 10pm EST on Lifetime. Find out more here!
Mrs. Betty is a regular contributor to BettyConfidential, though she usually uses her own name. She's crafty!

Team Scores | Brackets
PHILADELPHIA – Lorenzo Thomas returned to The Palestra and reminded the home crowd of the brilliance which earned Thomas 2012 Ivy League Rookie of the Year honors, winning four matches to claim the 184-pound championships at the 2013 Keystone Classic.
The top seed, Thomas won his first two matches by fall and added a major decision to reach the final, including a 13-2 major of Harvard's Cameron Croy in the semifinals. In the championship match, Thomas scored a takedown in the third period to pull away from the second seed, Lucas Sheridan of Indiana, 5-2.
Joining Thomas in the final was sophomore Ray Bethea who went 4-1 at 157 pounds to claim second place. Seeded third, Bethea knocked off the No. 2 seed – and national No. 10 – Nestor Taffur of Boston University, 7-4 in the semifinals before suffering a loss by fall to No. 1 seed – and national No. 8 Taylor Walsh of Indiana in the title match. Bethea was not alone in his fall to Walsh – he pinned all five four of his opponents in the tournament.
A pair of freshmen took fourth place finishes in their first Keystone Classics in Caleb Richardson and Frank Mattiace. Each had a signature win in the tournament, Richardson dispatching of No. 2 seed Dominic Parisi of Appalachian State, 4-2, in the quarterfinals and then defeating No. 5 seed Joe Duca of Indiana in the consolation semis. Seeded seventh, Richardson's two losses were to the No. 3 and No. 1 seed, including a 9-5 decision to No. 1 seed and national No. 7 Anthony Zannetta of Pittsburgh.
Mattaice wrestled from the No. 6 seed at 197 to a fourth place finish with a win over No. 3 seed – and national No. 17 Nick Bonaccorsi of Pitt along the way. That win was Mattiace's second of the weekend over a Top-20 opponent. In the semis, Mattiace was knocked off by No. 2 seed and national No. 12 Daniel Mitchell of American, 5-2.
Steve Robertson took fifth place at 157, posting a 4-2 record with his only losses to the top two seeds. For fifth place, he defeated Harvard's No. 5 seed Tyler Grimaldi, 10-7.
Casey Kent finished sixth after having to medically forfeit out. Before suffering an injury, he defeated No. 4 seed and national No. 18 Ryan LeBlanc of Indiana, 3-1, in sudden victory and was edged in the final moments by top seed and national No. 8 Josh Veltre of Bloomsburg, 3-2.
The Quakers will return to the mats Dec. 1 at Madison Square Garden at the Grapple in the Garden event. Penn will wrestle duals with Boston University (10 a.m.) and Bloomsburg (12 p.m.) in its first trip to MSG.

The Extended Care Health Option (ECHO) provides financial assistance to beneficiaries with special needs for an integrated set of services and supplies.
To use ECHO, qualified beneficiaries must:
The following beneficiaries who are diagnosed with moderate or severe mental retardation, a serious physical disability, or an extraordinary physical or psychological condition may qualify for ECHO:
Children may remain eligible for ECHO beyond the usual age limits in some circumstances. If you or your provider believes a qualifying condition exists, talk to a case manager or with your regional contractor to determine eligibility for ECHO benefits.
If you need help with ECHO benefits or want to see if you qualify, please contact your contractor:
The qualifying family member's disability must be entered properly in DEERS to have access to ECHO services.
Talk to your child's case manager and regional contractor before you move. They can help you find a new doctor and other resources so the transition is smooth with no interruptions in coverage.
Sometimes. For example, when the sponsor's branch of service does not provide the EFMP, or when the beneficiary resides with the custodial parent who is not the active duty sponsor. Contact your regional contractor for more information.

ON Thursday, May 22, the voters head to the polls to deliver their verdict on Worcester City Council. Our ward-by-ward coverage continues with a look at Gorse Hill.
ANYTHING other than a Labour victory would be a shock in Gorse Hill - such is the grip it has on the area.
The ward has a reputation for delivering huge Labour majorities year in, year out and with the party controlling the city council expectations are high that it will be victorious here once again.
It has two councillors, both of whom belong to Ed Miliband's party, and this year the challenge to continue the status quo falls to the current deputy leader of the city council, Geoff Williams.
Cllr Williams, well-known for his time as chairman of Worcester's planning committee, is also now the cabinet member for economic prosperity and holds a majority of 640 from four years ago.
One of the main political concerns in Gorse Hill is people's apparent reluctance to get involved in elections and cast a vote.
In 2012 the turnout was a dismal 24 per cent, and over the years it has rarely been any better.
It also has the distinction of being the only ward in Worcester where the far-right British National Party has made any headway - in 2008 candidate Lee Hancock finished third with 232 votes, just 11 less than the runner-up Conservatives.
That said, the BNP failed to put anyone forward two years ago, the last time Gorse Hill was contested, and with five parties looking for votes in the ward this time around any more progress seems unlikely.
The UK Independence Party will be hoping to make god ground here, and with the Tories and Greens putting up candidates too Gorse Hill could be far more interesting that usual.
Gorse Hill is among the most deprived wards in Worcester, but has provided a lot of genuinely good news over the last few years.
It has one of the best community centres anywhere in the city, and a thriving 'can do' spirit, often channelled through a special forum which helps divert fresh investment into worthy causes.
It was set up in 2009 with £500,000 of county council cash and has helped fund activities like summer clubs for school children, sports sessions and even advice on how to quit smoking.
Gorse Hill Primary is also on the political map, with education secretary Michael Gove visiting it back in January.
The NHS in Worcestershire decided last year to appoint 17 'community champions' to work with householders in Worcester to improve their health, and one of the main areas they focus on is Gorse Hill.
I'm standing for the BNP in Gorse Hill because of the other parties backgrounds.
Labour are infested with war mongerer's, and we believe the Tories lied about our EU referendum.
The Lib Dems are pro EU, contrary to the British people's views. Ukip are not what they seem.
Green Party policies will put up your taxes.
It only leaves the BNP to stand up for local people.
Vote for the other parties and you will get cheated by them.
Only the BNP will put British people first for jobs, housing and healthcare opportunities.
I am 63 and spent most of my working life in building services. Governments have abused their power, giving billions around the world and to the EU. This is complete madness when we're in debt.
Cameron cuts and sells and stands for the EU, and has no real interest in this country. He's part of a disgraceful elite who are not interested in the people of this country.
The young have been let down, with little training or proper jobs, and the old were robbed of their pension by New Labour.
Nigel Farage has common sense ideas and policies. He answers questions, unlike politicians from other parties who evade and stall. I think Nigel Farage is our best and real chance of making Britain better, more quickly. His common-sense approach and down-to-earth manner, with his energy and drive is proving a vote winner for UKIP, the people's party.
I believe that being a Councillor offers the opportunity to make a difference to the local community, by helping to shape, direct and monitor the services which affect local people's lives.
The current Labour / Lib Dem and Green City Council have put up Council Tax and parking charges and instigated severe cuts in important services like street cleansing, litter and dog bins and the money to maintain play areas.
None of this was necessary if they had followed sensible Conservative proposals to make the Council more efficient.
If elected I will work hard on behalf of the residents of Gorse Hill; I will endeavour to look after their interests at all times.
I have lived in Worcester for five years and work locally for a national engineering firm as a systems accountant.
I am passionate about making communities more resilient because high oil prices, the economic crisis and climate change present Worcester with major problems in the future.
I'm trying to make Worcester a resilient city and believe we need to support local businesses, local jobs and grow food locally.
I believe that people should be employed on a living wage and that smaller local companies and cooperatives should be supported to create the social benefits of a thriving local jobs market.
I also believe high quality universal education is essential to our future.
Fuel itself is getting in shorter supply and since the huge government bail-out of the banks in 2008, so is the money to buy it.
This money should be used to run our hospitals, schools and public services.
Since first being elected to represent Gorse Hill Ward, I have always fought hard for the area and everyone who lives here.
I am pleased that there has been an increase in affordable housing in the area and that schemes to tackle youth unemployment are now underway, given fresh impetus by your Labour city council.
It is important for the council to do all that it can to support employers to provide more jobs, but we also need to do more to ensure that young people have the skills and qualifications they need to get a decent job.
As cabinet member for economic prosperity, this is a priority for me.
I am determined that Worcester will provide opportunities for everyone and that no community will be left behind, as has happened too often in the past under the Tories.

Summertime Rumby Food Network Kitchen in View All Posts, May 27th, 2009
Several of us in the test kitchen were fortunate enough recently to get a visit from Joy Spence, Master Blender for Appleton Rum. Not only did she bring her warm Jamaican disposition, but she also brought two fantastic Jamaican rums from their Estate line of super-premium rums.
Both the 12-year-old and the Estate Reserve were ultra-smooth and rich with aromas of orange, vanilla, honey and nutmeg. While the 12-year-old is best enjoyed neat, perhaps with a little splash of club soda, the Estate Reserve makes some of the tastiest cocktails I've consumed in a long time.
These perfect summer beverages are a refreshing relief from overly sweetened tropical drinks. And there's just something about the scent of rum combined with the classic Caribbean favorites like Ting, lime and ginger that instantly transports me to the beach.
I put these cocktails to the test over the weekend. The result? Instant summer. All my friends needed was some white sand and an ocean breeze.
Claudia Sidoti, Recipe Developer
1.5oz Appleton Estate Reserve Rum
Juice of half a lime
1-2 teaspoons agave nectar
6-8 ounces of Ting (Jamaican grapefruit soda)
Fill a highball glass with ice. Combine the rum with the lime, agave and soda in a cocktail shaker with some ice. Stir gently and pour into a highball glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with a slice of grapefruit peel.
Jamaican Breeze
1 tablespoon fresh ginger
2 ounces Appleton Estate Reserve Rum
2 ounce Pineapple juice
1 ounce simple syrup
Dash of Angostura bitters
Muddle ginger in a pint glass, then add the rest of the ingredients. Add ice, shake and strain over fresh ice, then garnish with a slice of lime.
