The Garbage Guru's Guide to "Wastruments"
In order to get into the right attitude, one must first take a trip to the landfill. Pass the recycling center and head straight for the hole. See all the garbage. Smell the rubbish. Imagine all the waste. When you are thoroughly disgusted, turn around and retreat to the recycling center. See the reuse table, see all the saved items temporarily redeemed from a sentence in the hole. Now, realize that you can finally give these items full salvation by taking them home and using them. Yes, you can complete the recycling arrow loop by reusing these discards. You can make this waste into musical instruments- musical "Wastruments" for your very own parade!
P.E.T. Shaker- Collect non-deposit plastic number 1 P.E.T. bottles and containers. Look for the number 1 on the bottom of the bottle/container. Add old dried beans, lentils, peas, etc. into the bottle for a great shaking experience. Use your imagination, and item will suffice if its small and numerous enough. Gravel is always a good standby. Be sure to tape the lid closed so you don't have a blow out mid-parade!
Twig Shaker- Named after Bend resident Jamie Branch. Collect any Y-shaped twig or branch. Collect used bottle caps and old thin gauge wire (old bike brake cable works). Find an old block of wood, big ol' nail and hammer. Use the hammer to first flatten the bottle caps on the block of wood. Then drill a hole through the bottle caps by hammering the ol' nail through the caps into the wood block. String the wire through the bottle caps like you were making a piece of garbage jewelry. Instead of wearing it, tie it between the fork of the Y-shaped branch so that it looks like a high wire spanning the great Y river.
Beat Bucket- Collect 5-gallon plastic buckets. Old paint buckets at construction sites work, as do pickle/sauerkraut buckets from restaurants. You may want to wash them out first. When the lid is removed, the bottom of these buckets make beautiful drum-like sounds. They can be played in like a conga with bare hands or old salad forks, serving spoons also make great drumsticks. Use old rope or an old bicycle inner tube to thread through the bucket to keep the drum waist high throughout the parade. For decoration, you can wrap the bucket in old wallpaper.
Jug O' Water- For the resourceful. If you can find any old plastic 5-gallon water containers (i.e. plastic carboys)- then you got yourself a gem of a "Wastrument". Simply screw or fasten an old bike inner tube around the body of the jug and wear waist high. The tone of the bottom is exquisite. No sticks necessary; fingers will do.
Sink O' Rhythm- For the brave. If you have hands of steel (or wrap them sufficiently) you can play the most melodious "Wastrument" of the group. Find yourself an old metal dual basin sink. The lighter the better, but leave the faucet on if you can for style points. With rags, wrap the edge that will press against your waste. Fasten two bike inner tubes around the basin so that the sink is suspended from your neck and rests against your waist. Use your hands to play the sides of the sink. Each side (8 total) will have a unique and awesome resonance.
Trash ellaneous- A catch-all term for all of the gems that can be created with a little creativity. Collect things like neglected tea kettles and rusty metal bread pans, string them together with old shoelaces. They sound delicious when played with a kitchen fork. Make washboard-type rhythm with old derelict shudders and a scraper.
Some wise words on "Wastruments"
If you can walk, you have rhythm. If you have a heartbeat, you have rhythm. So beat, shake, and pound to your own rhythm and have a ball at the parade. You will feel good knowing you gave some garbage a second chance and you will sound good to all the envious spectators.

8 Recipes For Reuse
Here in the United States, we have a particularly large problem with waste, for example:
One important thing we can do to improve this is to teach our children, and set the example, of living in an environmentally sustainable way. This is a collection of "recipes" that reuse things that may otherwise be garbage. We hope that this will send a message to children to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle their waste now and in the future.
Using two large empty tin cans, punch two holes one on each side of can near unopened end. Cut rope long enough for child to stand on can and hold in hand. Put rope through both holes and make a big knot on both sides.
Bean Bags
Using heavy cloth, such as an old dishtowel, cut into a rectangle (5x10 or 7x14). Fold in half and sew 2 of the 3 sides shut. Fill with beans; sew the remaining side shut. Now you're ready to make a target (see BeanBag Target activity).
Rhythmic Shaker
Using varying sizes of containers, such as frozen juice cans, fill with pebbles and tape lid on securely. Decorate container. Shake and enjoy!
Sock Puppet: Take an old sock. Put it on your hand and decorate using felt, markers, and anything else you want!
Finger Puppet: Take an old glove and cut off the fingertips (except the ones with holes!) Put them on your fingers and decorate!
2-Liter Plant Holder
Cut a 2-liter bottle in half, cut holes in the bottom and fill with soil. Plant you favorite plant and watch it grow.
Milk Carton Piggybank
Using a well-washed milk container cut a hole big enough to slide your coins in. Decorate the container. Put a coin in whenever you Reduce, Reuse or Recycle something!
Bean Bag Target
Using a large old box cut a hole big enough to throw a beanbag through. Turn the hole into a mouth and paint or draw on a face. Toss the beanbags into the mouth!
Styro Boat
Cut a piece of Styrofoam into a shape that looks like a house or an open envelope (a square with a triangle on top). Using an old Popsicle stick and a rectangular piece of old cloth, pierce both ends of cloth with stick and insert it into the middle of the Styrofoam. Floats great and will last hundreds of years!

Educating Children About Recycling
Kids are the world's future recyclers! They can grow up without the throw-away mentality that is difficult for the Earth to support. This booklet offers some fun, informative ways that kids can be taught how and why to recycle. So simple, it works!
Activity 1: Learn About Sorting!
First, discuss the materials that can be recycled in your area. Then, visit your local sorting and recycling area, whether in your home, childcare center or community. Make sure the kids help you sort materials and find easy ways to identify which materials go with what.
Activity 2: Paper Making
This activity is great for illustrating the process of recycling. To make paper, follow these steps:
Activity 3: Litter Walk
The idea of this activity is to illustrate the amount of material that is discarded as useless waste. Take a walk and bring a sack with you. Collect all of the litter that you find. At the end of your walk, look at what you've collected and recycle all that can be recycled.
Activity 4: Web Of Life
Take a long piece of twine and a pencil (or any object you like). Ask the kids as many questions as you can come up with about the object. For example:
For each child that answers your question correctly, give her/him a piece of twine to hold. The effect is a web-like structure that helps to illustrate the interrelatedness of life.
Activity 5: Garbage Sort
Dump your garbage can and separate your garbage according to different types of materials. Have the kids help you draw a big picture of a garbage can and then draw pictures of your waste, as proportionally as possible. This is the typical break-down of garbage:
Remember! 75% of the garbage we throw away is recyclable.
Activity 6: Compost Extravaganza
Visit your compost bin with your youngster(s). If you don't have your own bin, there's bound to be a neighbor or local farmer who does. Examine the critters living in your compost bin, try to find the larvae (baby worms) and explore the different types of food and/or yard waste being composted. Explain that this is a very natural way of recycling. Using the composted material: Take a milk jug and cut off the top, fill with a mixture of composted material and potting soil. Plant a seed and watch it grow.
Activity 7: Visit Your Dump
Take a tour of the dump and find out where all of our garbage goes when we're done with it. If there's a Recycling area at your local dump site, observe the different materials accepted. Discuss the amount of land and resources saved by recycling instead of throwing away materials. In Lane County, 1 million pounds of garbage are put in landfills every day. In Oregon, over 2 million tons of waste are deposited in landfills every year.
Activity 8: Mock Recycling
Using moldable material (like Playdough), have each person shape a milk jug, bottle, etc. When finished, ask if the Playdough should be thrown away or if we should smush it down and use it to make a new milk jug, bottle, etc. Do this activity several times, trying to replicate as many different recyclables as possible.

Earth Friendly Kids' Activities
Activity 1: Seed Planting
Empty and clean 1 pint milk cartons (or another reused container)
Activity: Cut the tops off of the containers. Fill the containers with soil and have the children plant a seed in each of the containers. The containers can be decorated with reused paper or other materials. The plants should be cared for by the children who can watch them grow. After the seeds have grown the children can take them home to plant them, to add longevity to the experience.
Objective: Instead of recycling the milk containers that the children drink out of during lunch, they can be used as planters. This will educate children about the life and maintenance of plants, as well as show them a new way in which common objects such as their milk cartons can be reused.
Activity 2: Paper Airplanes
Paper that is used on one side
Decorating materials
Activity: Reuse paper by making paper airplanes, which can be decorated and, of course, flown.
Objective: This activity will teach the many ways which things can be reused. You can ask the children to come up with other ways to reuse paper, which may be a good introduction for the papermaking activity in this packet.
Activity 3: Know your food containers
Various food containers composed of different materials such as cereal boxes, milk cartons, glass bottles, plastic containers, aluminum and tin.
Activity: Present and talk about the different kinds of food containers and how they are recycled if they can. Afterwards, the children can use all of the old food containers to make a pretend store for fun.
Objective: This activity should give children an opportunity to think about all of the different household materials that can be recycled. They can also think about how they can be reused.
Activity 4: Paper Recycling
Paper that is collected from your center to be recycled.
Activity: Take paper that is composed of different sorts of recycling categories and sort it to be recycled. Begin by giving a presentation on the types of paper to be recycled and why it needs to be recycled the way it does. Also, explain to the students what sort of things can't be on the paper, such as food waste, and why.
Objective: This activity should teach children not only how to recycle, but also the various kinds of paper that can be recycled. Ask them to think about how much of the paper they use gets recycled.
Activity 5: Paper Bag Masks
Used paper bags
Markers, crayons, paints, feathers, stickers, etc.
Activity: Cut faces in the paper bags by putting eye, nose and mouth holes in them prior to the activity as it isn't safe for the children of this age to cut the mask themselves. The children can then decorate the masks as hey wish. While they are decorating, the facilitator can discuss the other reuses of paper bags and other things that we can make by reusing things.
Objective: This activity will give children an opportunity to learn about reusing items that they would normally throw away. It should be a fun activity that will also allow them to think about reuse on a bigger scale.
Activity 6: Milk Carton Banks
Used individual milk cartons
Decorating materials
Activity: Wash used milk cartons out with water and tape them shut. Cut a slit in the top large enough for coins to fit through. Have the children decorate the boxes. Use this time to discuss other things in our daily lives we can reuse, such as other food containers that can be cleaned and used to hold other things. The children can use their banks to hold the change they receive from returning their bottles for deposit.
Objective: This will be a fun activity that will allow the children to see how they can create useful items out of everyday materials that might otherwise get thrown away.
Activity 7: "Garbage is Resourceful" Game
2 sets of cards (one will have various products that we use and the other will have the natural resources that those products are made out of)
Activity: The object of this game is to match the cards with the products on them to the cards that have the natural resources on them. It is important to explain the game simply and quickly and to get to the matching of the cards. A handout is included at the back of this packer with suggestions for cards.
Objective: This activity will show the children all the different natural resources that are used to make the products that we use everyday. This will help them to start to realize how quickly our resources are being depleted.
Activity 8: "The Four Friends"
Handout at the back of the packet
Activity: Read and discuss the story, "The Four Friends". It is helpful to bring a plastic bottle, a soda pop can, a newspaper and a glass bottle to serve as the characters. Again, this can be combined with another recycling project depending on time constraints.
Objective: Hopefully, this activity will show the children how we can work together to help the environment. Discuss this concept with the children.
Activity 9: Poem & Discussion
The poem "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take The Garbage Out" by Shel Silverstein (found in the handout section of this packet)
Activity: Read the poem aloud to the children. Afterwards, go through the garbage listed in the poem and discuss the sorts of things in there that can be recycled instead of contributing to the landfills.
Objective: This activity will get the children excited to help decrease the types of things they are throwing away and recycled and what things cannot.
Activity 10: Recycle Mobiles
Wire hangers
Scrap papers and other recyclables
Activity: Cut scrap papers into different shapes prior to the activity, as the children aren't able to cut safely themselves. Have the children attach the paper shapes to the wire hangers to make decorative mobiles. While the children are working, discuss the other things that they can use everyday that can be reused.
Objective: This activity will give the children an opportunity to think about the different things that they throw way everyday that may be reused to make other items. Discuss these other items with the children.
Activity 11: Litter Walk
Bags to collect litter
Activity: Go on a short walk and pick up litter along the way. Tell children not to touch broken glass, gum, cigarettes, etc. With each piece of garbage that you pick up, tell the children about what that litter can do to animals. Also, take multiple bags and sort and recycle those things that can. Encourage the children to never litter and to pick it up and throw it away when they see it.
Objective: This activity will show children the importance of keeping the environment clean. It will encourage them to pick up litter whenever they see it. The children will also learn how litter can harm animals and others.
Activity 12: "Recyclers"
A wagon
Activity: This activity was originally done under the context of other lessons concerning future jobs. The children were "recyclers". First use the newspapers to make "recycling" hats. Then load glass, plastic, tin, and paper into the wagon and take it to a recycling area to be stored.
Objective: This activity will show children that there is a future in recycling and will get them to start thinking about how they can incorporate recycling into their future careers.
Activity 13: Milk Carton Structure
Lots of cleaned ½ pint milk cartons
Hot glue gun
Tempera paint
Scraps of paper, rug, wallpaper, etc.
Activity: Open the tops of all the cleaned milk cartons. Fit the open end of one carton into the open end of another. They will form a rectangular block. Using the hot glue gun, arrange the blocks in whatever shape you want them. They can be made into a castle, puppet stage, etc. The children can help with decorating the structure, and play with it.
Objective: This activity will offer the children new examples of all the ways things can be reused. The end product can be played with and added to all year long.
Activity 14: Bottle Recycling
Glass bottles
Discussion handout on bottle recycling
Activity: Use the handout at the back of the packet to discuss bottle recycling. Talk about the process of recycling them and why it is important. The children can color in the handout as well.
Objective: Teaches children the process of recycling and shows them what happens to the bottles.
Activity 15: Film Canister Basketball
Old film canisters
2-3 large, used cardboard boxes
Activity: Cut holes in the boxes for mouths and let the children decorate them as animal faces, for example. After decorating is complete, the children can play a game of throwing the film canisters into the open mouths.
Objective: This activity will show the children how creative games can be made out of materials that would usually be thrown away.
Activity 16: "Web of Life"
Spool of string
An object, such as a pencil, an eraser, a coffee mug, etc.
Activity: Begin by holding up an object, such as a pencil, and begin asking the children questions about it such as where it came from, what it's made of, etc. As the children answer the questions, they are given a piece of the string to hold. The end product is a huge web of string that connects all of the children.
Objective: This activity shows the children how humans and the natural world are really interconnected. The children can think about how the use of one item can affect many other people.
Activity 17: Rhythmic Shaker
Old cans or other metal containers
Used paper
Pebbles and/or beans
Activity: Fill the cans with the pebbles and/or beans and tape the lid securely. Then, wrap the cans with the used paper and let the children decorate them. Discuss how they are reusing things to make new projects that they can play with.
Objective: This activity will show the children how everyday items can be used to make new things instead of using more resources.
Activity 18: Finger-Puppets & Sock-Puppets
Old socks
Old gloves
Decorating materials
Activity: Decorate old socks and the fingers of old gloves with magic markers, felt, etc. Put on a puppet show/play for the children, or have them be involved in the production.
Objective: Again, this is an activity to get the children to discuss uses for other discarded things.
Activity 19: Stilts
Large, empty cans
Rope or twine
Activity: Using two large empty cans, punch a hole on each side of the unopened ends. Cut the rope long enough for a child to stand on the can and hold the rope in their hand. Put the rope through both holes and make a big knot on both sides. The children can then stand on the cans and walk around on them.
Objective: This activity will show the children how old materials can be used to make fun and useful new items. This will get them thinking more about reuse and recycling.
Activity 20: Bean Bag Target
Old heavy cloth, such as a dishtowel
Old cardboard box
Activity: Cut the cloth into 5 x 10 or 7 x 14 inch rectangles. Fold in half and sew two of the three sides shut. Fill them with beans and sew the remaining side shut. Then, using an old cardboard box, cut a hole big enough to throw the bean bags through. Draw a face on the box with the mouth as the big hole and let the children try to toss the bags into each mouth.
Objective: This is another activity to get the children to think about reuse.
Activity 21: Styro Boat
Piece of old block styrofoam
Popsicle stick
Old rectangular piece of cloth
Activity: Cut the styrofoam so that it has a point on one end. Using the popsicle stick, pierce both ends of the cloth and insert it into the middle of the styrofoam. It floats great and lasts for hundreds of years!
Objective: This activity will show the children how many items can be used more than once, which is especially important with things that take so long to decompose.
Activity 22: Liter Plant Holder
2-liter bottle
Plant or seeds
Activity: Cut a 2-liter bottle in half and cut holes in the bottom. Fill the bottom of the bottle with soil and plant a seedling. Decorate the "pot" and watch the plant grow in a few weeks.
Objective: This activity will teach children how to take care of our natural world. This hands-on activity will enable them to get involved with and care about the environment.
Activity 23: Paper Making
Scrap paper from recycling bin
Blotting paper
Cookie cutters (optional)
Activity: Technique 1: Tear pieces of paper from your recycling bin and place in blender until about 1/3 full. Add water until blender is 2/3 full. Blend for a few seconds, until mixture looks like mush. Pour into a pan, add about an inch of water. Hold frame screen side up, spoon mixture onto screen and let the water drip off. Place blotting paper on top of mixture and flip screen over, blotting paper down. With sponges, blot up moisture that comes through the screen. Lift off the frame and place blotting paper on top, making a blotter sandwich. Iron both sides, using wool setting. Peel off blotters. Iron paper to dry completely.
Technique 2: Place paper pulp directly on the screen, without diluting it. Using this method, the children can blend colors and make shapes on the screen. The rest of the stages are the same; cover the paper with blotting paper, flip, wipe off excess moisture through the screen, remove screen and let paper dry. Using cookie cutters to form shapes works really well.
Objective: This activity will demonstrate to children how paper is actually recycled. Many children know about and use recycled paper, but may have no idea how it gets recycled.
Activity 24: Calendar Making
Non-bleached recycled paper
Decorating materials
Activity: This will allow the children to make their very own recycling calendar. They can each draw something that represents earth-friendly activities. Use the drawings as the pictures and draw out the months. Staple together and post in room so that the children can see what they did every month. Use the drawing time to discuss different activities that the children can do that are good for the earth.
Objective: This activity will allow the children to be reminded of what activities are good for the earth, it will also be something that they will see every day and be proud of.
Activity 25: Valentines
Used paper
Decorating materials
Activity: Use discarded paper taken out of the recycling bin and teach the children to make their own valentines by cutting the paper into heart shapes and decorating the unwritten side.
Objective: This activity will show the children how things that they can buy in the store can easily be made with a few decorating items. It may also give them gift ideas for family and friends in the future.
Activity 26: Cards
Old greeting cards
Activity: Cut the fronts off of already used greeting cards and have the children decorate the backs for holiday cards or just as a fun craft activity.
Objective: Children will learn to use things more than once rather than just throwing them away and adding to the landfills.
Activity 27: Paper Maché Dino
Flour and water
Balloon for Dino head
4 short cardboard cylinders for legs
2 long cardboard cylinders for neck and tail
1 big cardboard box for Dino body
Activity: Mix a very large bowl of paper maché using equal parts of flour and water. Get a big bundle of newspaper from the recycle bin and tear it into strips. Prepare the Dino frame in advance by securing the legs, neck, head, and tail on by using tape or whatever will work. The children can paper maché the Dino, which is messy but fun. Allow the Dino to dry and then the children can paint it. If the Dino is made sturdy enough, the children should be able to sit on it.
Objective: This activity will show the children how fun toys can be made at home without buying new ones that will eventually be thrown away.
Activity 28: Garbage Pouch
Paper bags
Safety pins
Activity: Pin the paper bags onto the children's pant at the beginning of the day. Instruct them to collect all of their trash throughout the day and to keep it in their bags. At the end of the day, examine the trash that they collected and talk about what things can be recycled or reused.
Objective: This activity will show children what things can be recycled out of all of the things that they throw away every day. It will also show them how much trash they add to the world everyday.
Activity 29: Trash Sort
Activity: Ask a few of the children to volunteer to dig through a bag of trash and sort the things out that can be recycled from the things that cannot. The other children can help them to decide.
Objective: This activity will show the children how much people throw away that can be recycled of reused in some way. It will also get them to think about recycling more of the things that they throw away.
Activity 30: Compost
Compost pile
Small shovel
Magnifying glass
Food waste
Activity: Visit your compost pile, or a local compost pile, in order to give the children an idea of how food waste can be recycled. Take time to examine all of the living creatures in the compost by using the magnifying glass. Discuss the process of the worms eating the children's garbage and turning it into fertilizer so that other things can grow. Have the children feed the worms and help you stir the compost.
Objective: This activity will show children alternative ways of dealing with garbage. Perhaps they would encourage their parents to help them start one at home.
Activity 31: Paper Hats
Colorful papers
Activity: Cut strips of paperboard into strips big enough to fit around the children's heads. Decorate the paperboard with any materials you'd like. After you're done decorating, staple the two ends together to make a crown.
Objective: This activity demonstrates how playthings can be made out of reused materials.
Activity 32: Paper Vests
Used large brown paper bags
Activity: Cut the bottoms out of the brown paper bags and cut a slit all the way down one side. Cut out arm holes. Have the children paint their vests and wear them after they dry.
Objective: This activity will show how simple costumes can be made with already used materials. Tell them how this will help cut down on waste.
Activity 33: Collage
Pictures cut from magazines of recyclables and non-recyclables
Activity: Hold up each picture for the children to see and ask them if it is recyclable or not for each item. Then, paste the picture on the matching side of the paperboard.
Objective: The children will learn what things can be recycled and what things cannot. By seeing the pictures first hand, they will better remember to recycle later when they see some of the same things.
Activity 34: Paint A Forest
Materials: Large sheet of paper
Activity: Spread the sheet of paper out on the floor. Ask the children to list all of the things that they would find in a forest. Let them paint all of the things that they listed. Explain the concept of diversity to the children while they are painting and then hang the picture up in the room when it's dry.
Objective: This activity will allow the children to think about all of the different things that are found in the forests and it is important to protect its diversity.
Activity 35: Plant A Tree
Pine tree seedlings
Spoons for shovels
Activity: Give the children the seedlings and take them to a place to be planted. Tell them to dig small holes with the spoons and place the trees in the holes. Then have them bury the seeds.
Objective: This activity will encourage the children to appreciate trees and encourage them to plant trees in areas that have few.
Activity 36: Terrarium
Clear globe-shaped glass bowl
Potting soil
Small shade and moisture loving plant
Plant misting bottle
Small clear glass plate
Activity: Rinse the gravel and place it in the glass bowl 2-3 inches deep. Cover the gravel with 2-3 inches of soil and arrange the plants in the soil. Next, cover the soil with moss and mist thoroughly with water. Cover the bowl with the glass plate. Set the terrarium indoors in a shady spot. Water the plant once a week and feed with plant food. Remove the dead leaves as the plants grow.
Objective: This activity will teach children how to take care of nature and our environment. Children will learn how things grow and how they need to be protected.

Katlego dribbles past his fiancée
FORMER Orlando Pirates striker Katlego "Mahoota" Mashego failed to captain the team despite banging in the goals - but now he's become the undisputed captain of sex perverts for allegedly hitting on different women.
Mashego is allegedly cheating on his doting girlfriend, Soweto TV presenter Lerato Kganyago, with air hostess Thandi Masemola.
And it appears Mashego derives sadistic pleasure from Kganyago's agony because he iced their communication after the former Miss Soweto discovered his peccadillo.
News that the Lamontville Golden Arrows player has been playing the field was revealed by Masemola's friend.
Our deep throat says Masemola ensnared Mashego at the airport during one of his trips to KwaZulu-Natal, and the two hooked up.
It is alleged Kganyago found out when she heard a chick's voice in the background whilechatting with Mashego on the phone.
"She discovered that the two booked plane tickets to and from KwaZulu-Natal together. She was shattered," says the source.
It is alleged Kganyango confronted Masemola, who confirmed she was romancing the footie, and allegedly told Kganyago to take a hike as Mashego has lost interest in her.
"This chick is rude and a heartless man-stealer," says the source.
"She thinks she is hot, but she does not know that once Mashego is done with her he will dump her like a used condom and go back to his woman."
One of her posts, on November 19 (12:54) reads in part: "Having fun, a tutti-fruiti frozen yoghurt while I wait 4 the game. Best of luck to Arrows I know my boy will do me proud#Team Mashego".
Kganyago declines to comment: "I really can't say anything now and, besides, I don't talk about my private life in the media."
Masemola couldn't be reached for comment at the time of going to press. Mashego ignored our calls and the messages we left on his phone.

Link to Question/thread - Serious advice only http://forums.offtopic.com/showthread.php?t=3393174 Why is it so difficult for me to penetrate my girlfriends vagina?? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm posting this here because I want SERIOUS replies and/or SERIOUS suggestions/advice only Even when I use lubrication and when we foreplay and oral sex, penetration is still difficult and after a couple of tries I get frustrated and lose my erection. We have also tried different positions such as her on top, me on top and also me from behind. At first, I thought it was me but I think its the design of her vagina..This may sound silly but I think my girlfriends vagina is too "tight"...its like the muscles inside her vagina are very strong and won't let my penis enter...She tells me she is relaxed and ready. Once during Oral Sex, she pleaded with me too stop because she was so ready to have sex and so we tried but again we could not. In retrospect, I've never had this problem with other female partners. If anyone has any suggestions on this please let me know. We have decided to try again tonite and If it doesn't work tonite then I don't know what we will do. We've already tried everything else and we are both ready to have vaginal intercourse. Thank You. Additional Details - Also I have to add that she said its never really been a problem for her either but with one other partner. she and an ex boyfriend tried three times until they were finally able to have vaginal intercourse. She also takes a long time to achieve orgasm. Once I spent an hour (i think) fingering her until she finally had an orgasm.

Fri, 11 Jul 2014 20:43:26 GMT —
CNN -- A tragic accident or cold blooded murder? That's what the California police are trying to figure out.
When Dean Riopelle died from a heroin overdose last September, it appeared to be a tragic accident. The case was closed....until police in California announced this week that model-turned-prostitute had been arrested.
Alix Tichelman is charged with the death of 51-year-old Google executive Forrest Hayes, a father of five.
Police say he, too, died of a lethal amount of heroin, and they say it was given to him by Tichelman, the 26-year-old he met on arrangement.com.
Georgia authorities have reopened the Riopelle case due to the similarities between the two cases.
What the investigators saw on the security camera the night of the Google executive's yacht brings up some concern.

D.C. United is set to host the first of two matches with the New York Red Bulls in their Eastern Conference semifinal series on Saturday night. Given all that has happened across New York/New Jersey and the DC metropolitan area in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, kickoff for this marquee match-up will provide a welcome distraction to soccer fans throughout the Northeast.
The League's oldest and fiercest rivalry will undoubtedly take American soccer's center stage for the next week and only one team will emerge with passage to the conference finals. If that is to be D.C. United, a result at home on the weekend is of upmost importance. Heading to Red Bull Arena with a goal(s) in hand provides valuable confidence and strategic options for the Black-and-Red. Here are three areas of focus for Ben Olsen's charges this weekend that could see them do exactly that.
Manage the moment
Among those available for duty Saturday night, only Mike Chabala, Stephen King, Brandon McDonald, Robbie Russell, Maicon Santos and Marcelo Saragosa have appeared in an MLS playoff game. Combined, they total 29 games, none with D.C. United, and Russell accounts for nearly half (12) of the overall games played. That's a big deal when facing the crucible of pressure that playoff soccer brings. Adding that five of Olsen's likely first eleven are under the age of 25, and the coach himself is guiding his first post-season club as manager, handling the magnitude of the playoffs becomes more of an issue.
Success in this bonus derby with New York will be predicated on how United manages the moment. The club has proven time and time again this season to be wise beyond it's years. Bill Hamid is a budding superstar in goal, Andy Najar and Chris Korb have developed into dynamic outside backs, Perry Kitchen is a dependable and durable midfield general and Lionard Pajoy provides a possession-oriented forward that proves of great use in pressure packed moments. All have excelled in high pressure situations to date and fans of the Black-and-Red should expect more of the same ahead. It's also no coincidence that this club's steely disposition mirrors that of its manager. As a player, Olsen excelled in hot games when the weather cooled. That disposition has been most evident since the loss of Dwayne De Rosario to injury in early September, a stretch in which United has gone 5-0-2 (17 points). Continuing that form could end with a United result on Saturday.
Follow the leader
As news of Dwayne De Rosario's injury spread, it was obvious that United was going to need each player on the roster to raise their level of play to compensate for the loss of their captain. One player, in particular, knew that effort would extend from the playing field into the locker room and Chris Pontius has taken the armband and provided leadership in both areas as the Black-and-Red have raced to the finish of the 2012 MLS regular season. Pontius is enjoying a career year, in which his 12 goals leads the club. Five of those came in games against the Red Bulls, including three in a virtuoso performance on April 22. Pontius will need to again lead by example on the field and behind the scenes for United to advance to the Eastern Conference finals.
Forward thinking
In three games against New York this season, United had a mixed bag of results - going 1-1-1 in those matches. Among the positives to take from the games were the eight goals scored in those matches. As mentioned earlier, Chris Pontius netted five of those, but Nick DeLeon (2) and Dwayne De Rosario also scored for the Black-and-Red. The common thread among many of these goals? A direct attack.
In all three matches this season, New York was able to see a majority of the ball. United, however, was able to win possession at critical times and in key spaces. Doing so allowed for quick and direct counter-attacks - the kind that can prove lethal. Indeed, the Black-and-Red scored in all manners of quick-strike fashion. If United can again gain possession and quickly attack gaps in the New York back line, the Black-and-Red could be in position to take a lead into next Wednesday's second leg of their semifinal series.
D.C. United hosts the New York Red Bulls in the first leg of the Eastern Conference semifinals this Saturday, November 3 at 8:00 PM - PURCHASE TICKETS

Airfare to Liverpool, England
New York to Liverpool - $568
Chicago to Liverpool - $734
Boston to Liverpool - $765
Washington DC to Liverpool - $896
Charlotte to Liverpool - $1044
Los Angeles to Liverpool - $1059
Kansas City to Liverpool - $1081
Minneapolis to Liverpool - $1304
Although once an economic engine driving England, Liverpool has lost much of its economic footing and remains one of the poorest areas of the country. However, Liverpudlians have retained a fierce sense of cultural pride, with a strong football (soccer) team and the famous distinction as the home of the rock band, the Beatles. The city is now recognized for its cultural offerings in music and art and is the European Capital of Culture for 2008.
Airfare to Liverpool will be the cheapest on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday. Mondays are popular with business travellers and weekends are key dates for holidaymakers wanting the longest trips possible – avoid these dates.
Also consider flights into London, England. To get between the cities, you can grab a spot on a train, bus or flight. Look for cheap flights on no frills Europe airlines. Ryan Air, Easy Jet and Flybe fly to Liverpool. Although it will take longer to reach your destination, a bus or train could save you enough cash to make it worth your while.
Another possible money-saving tip is to look for flights that go through London, England; Frankfurt, Germany; or another major gateway city instead of flying direct. Because there are more flights – and competition – from these cities on Europe low budget airlines, you can save some cash over flying non-stop to your destination. Flights within Europe rarely exceed two-and-a-half hours. It is very common to layover in one of these main cities.
Finally, consider traveling on a lesser-known carrier. British Airways is the national airline, but does not serve Liverpool. However, Thomson, Thomas Cook, VLM and other airlines also stop in Liverpool.
The most expensive air tickets to Liverpool are found during peak holiday travel times, such as the summer Eurail season. Also be aware of national events or festivals, which can also cause ticket prices to rise.
Summary of Money Saving Tips:
- Fly mid-week
- Book your holiday during the off-peak winter season, January-March
- Consider flying into London, England and traveling overland to Liverpool via train or bus
- Look for flights that go through large cities, with many flights
- Check out carriers besides the national airline – they may undercut the monopolistic competition

There are now three huge players dominating the freelance website market and dozens of new startups throw their hats in the ring every month. With so freelance websites online to choose from, which freelance website is the best fit for your small business? Don't worry, we did the heavy lifting for you. This buyer's guide compares three leading freelance websites – Upwork vs. Freelancer vs. Guru— and will teach you everything you need to know to choose the right platform.
Best Freelance Website for Small Business Owners: Upwork
Of all the freelance websites we reviewed, we chose (and personally use) Upwork because of the new Upwork Pro feature which allows employers to only see highly qualified freelancers, it's more consistent online reviews, more robust desktop and mobile apps, and better customer service options.

Upwork: Best Freelance Website for Small Businesses
There are 4 primary reasons we chose Upwork as the best platform for hiring freelancers:
- Upwork Pro: Upwork Pro is a new feature that eliminates the number one complaint people have about posting jobs to freelancer platforms; it's often terrible signal to noise ratio. Instead of sifting through endless less than qualified responses to your posting, Upwork Pro works more like a talent agency and handpicks a vetted professional for your job. At $149 a month, it's definitely not cheap, but the amount of time saved dealing with subpar or misleading freelancers is invaluable.
- Online reviews: We generally take online reviews with a grain of salt, but in this case it seems that Upwork outperforms both Freelancer and Guru often in both rating and number of reviews.
- Best of everything: Upwork and Freelancer both have very similarly sized freelancer networks, but we felt that Upwork's desktop and mobile apps were a bit more robust that freelancer's. Guru, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be keeping pace with either platform. Their network is the smallest, their desktop app only works for freelancers, and they don't offer a mobile app. At this point, it feels like they are either going to get very specialized or are waiting to get acquired by Upwork or Freelancer.
- Customer Support: of the three sites Upwork was far and away the easiest to reach a live human being and is the only one to offer 24/7 phone, email, and chat support. Guru has an easy to find customer service number, but they only operate between 9 and 6 EST. They offer email as well, but not live chat. Freelancer has 24/7 chat and email, but not phone support at all.
Freelancer: Best Freelance Site if You Need a Job Done Quickly
Since all three platforms are very, very similar, the best strategy for freelancers is to post profiles and bid on jobs on all three websites whenever possible. For employers, there is little benefit to switching between freelance websites since odds are most freelancers can be found on Upwork and Freelancer.com. However, there is one feature that Freelancer.com has that the other freelance websites don't. Contest mode. Contest mode allows you to post a (a logo design for example) and then allow freelancers to finish the job on spec while you choose your favorite one.
This is a useful feature not only because it allows you to get a job done quickly, but because you can see how different designers interpret your brand. If you do multiple contests you can get a better idea of how top freelancers actually respond to pressure and what kind of work they produce in their first draft.
Other Options: Guru
If you want to expand your options as a freelancer it might make sense to take advantage of all the freelance websites we reviewed here. You might find employers that are loyal to each site so it makes sense to check each site as often as possible. It can take a long time to build up good reviews on each freelance website, but at the end of the day you will get more options for work.
For employers Guru doesn't really offer any advantages over the other freelance websites we reviewed. That said, some employers may have a personal preference for Guru.com or have a particular great freelancer that only works through guru.com.
In-Depth Review: Upwork vs. Freelancer vs. Guru
Size of Marketplace
All sites have massive numbers of clients and freelancers, but there will inevitably be overlap between them. In other words, many (or even most) freelancers will be on multiple sites. In order to cast as wide a net as possible without being overwhelmed, most freelancers will use the two largest sites.
Upwork: After merging with Odesk, Upwork now has the second largest freelancer marketplace on the internet. Upwork currently has 10 million+ registered freelancers, and 4 million+ registered employers.
Guru has the smallest marketplace with only 1.5 million registered freelancers and employers.
All sites charge a very similar transaction fee for clients but have very different pricing for freelancers.
Freelancer charges a flat fee of 10% but requires freelancers to purchase "upgrades" in order to submit more bids and have their bids featured.
Guru also has a sliding scale, but their scale is based on the freelancers monthly fee. Employers pay no transaction fees at all if they use a check, echeck or wire transfer.
Ease of Use
Since our last buyer's guide was written, all sites have revamped their interfaces and are new all very easy to use. If I had one complaint, it would be that their interfaces are too minimal and many features are buried in submenus. Minimalism seems to be a growing trend in interface design so I can't really fault any of the sites for this, especially considering that this is what many users want.
Upwork: On its website and app Upwork uses clean, minimal design that makes finding and using features very easy.
Freelancer also uses clean, minimal design on its website and app which makes navigation and getting tasks done a breeze.
Guru also uses a clean, minimalist design which makes routine tasks easy to accomplish.
Dispute Resolution
Payments are handled very similarly on all sites, but freelancer and guru both make you set up your payments in certain ways in order to use dispute resolution or arbitration. Both sites are upfront about these requirements, but there is a chance some users might miss the warnings and end up in a situation where dispute resolution is unavailable to them.
Guru's dispute resolution process is only offered if both parties agree to use their safepay program.
Customer Service
Customer support is one of those features that you never think matters until you need it.
As a test I tried contacting all companies at 8:00pm on a Thursday evening. On Upwork I was able to reach someone via live chat right away and reached a live human being on the phone after a few minutes navigating their phone tree. On Freelancer I was unable to find their chat support page, so I sent an email that was replied to around 5 hours later.
Upwork had the best customer service out of the three freelance websites by a long shot. They responded immediately when prompted for a chat and I was able to speak with a customer service rep on the phone after only a minute or two in their phone tree.
Guru doesn't offer chat support but getting someone on the phone was fairly easy. I was unable to find email support.
Online Reviews
Since all sites handle millions of users and transactions, online reviews can be a tricky way to judge freelance websites. Generally speaking, people only leave reviews when they are either very happy or very upset with their experience. No one runs to the internet to leave a review of an acceptable user experience.
Upwork came away with a much higher rating than the other sites and had a much larger number of reviews.
Guru: Out of the three freelance websites, Guru.com had the fewest online reviews. Since their network is far smaller than Upwork or Freelancer.com, this is not much of a surprise.
The Bottom Line
Since there are so many freelance websites to choose from, it makes sense to narrow your focus down to the top three. After extensive research, we found Upwork offers the best features for small businesses. Even though we recommend (and use) Upwork, freelancers may want to remain active on all three freelance websites in order to widen their net and get as much work as possible.

Hmmm, still works for me – try this link instead! http://i56.tinypic.com/10qwjs0.jpg
Even though it's not a F1 car (GASP), here is my Audi R10 in all of its unfinished glory… http://www.flickr.com/photos/54191157@N03/5016168962/
That's superb Damion!
Dan, it still doesn't work for me! tinypic.com doesn't work at all :| !
Thanks Fer no.65, the quality of your drawing is what made me want to post mine!
But those Le Mans cars look more difficult to draw!
I'll soon post the Lotus 49 i've been doing anyway! :)
Lol, that's one reason I haven't tried to draw any current F1 cars with all the winglets and such. But please post more, I like to see other peoples drawings.
Try that link then! Haha it's not really worth seeing you'll be disappointed!
not finished of course, but still, Clark's Lotus 49:
those tyres :(! took me hours!
Wow, that is so much better than mine! Tires are one reason why I don't draw cars very often, so I guess i'll have try harder…
Some good stuff there. Mine is a painting rather then drawing. Senna in the wet at La source Spa.
I thought I was wierd for drawing small circuits when I was bored but it seem I am not the only onw that does it. HAHA
WOW, thestig!
Yes, it's wrong, but I made it just for fun; I made others but they were too wrong to post: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_uZCwOdj7m1A/TKykHp4gh4I/AAAAAAAAAF0/vPg0o8R4-hg/F10.JPG
I did Liuzzi's 2010 helmet by memory, so some sponsor mistakes.
Real one: http://www.f1wolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/2010-F1-helmets-vitantonio-liuzzi-left.jpeg
Mine: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nZV4qKI4MTc/Td-4va9iosI/AAAAAAAABWo/oxA1RuAJXBk/s640/DSCF5263.png (It looks confused as it is only 3.5 cm wide)
I'm still ashamed looking at your drawings, mine could be done by a three-year-old!
Fer no.65, you have talent! DamionShadows, that is amazing. And the stig84 – gorgeous! I want that on my wall! Dan Thorn, is that Villeneuve vs Arnoux? The car on the right looks a lot like a Renault. Well done everyone!

K&N 57 Series FIPK Air Intake System - Ford Mustang Shelby 2007-09

The K&N 57-2571 FIPK air intake system replaces the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing in some Ford Mustang Shelby models. K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten air flow. This allows your engine to inhale a larger amount of air than the factory air filter assembly. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout the engine's RPM range. The 57-2571 air intake comes with a chrome topped K&N high-flow air filter and a heat shield that installs into the previous air box space. Air is directed through an aerodynamically engineered intake tube into the engine's throttle body for a guaranteed power gain. The tube accommodates the factory mass air sensor, vacuum vent line and crank case vent hose. The oversized cone shaped air filter can be used for up to 100,000 miles before servicing is needed depending on driving conditions. This air intake is relatively easy to install usually in 90 minutes or less using existing factory mounting points. The tools needed are a screwdriver, a ratchet set and a couple of Allen wrenches. K&N 57 Series FIPK's are street legal in all 50 US states and come with K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty.

Cat Scientists, Procatinator, Batman Running and More Sites We're Obsessed With
We here at TheFW know you are looking for fun websites and blogs to
waste spend time on and forward to your friends. Which is why we're offering a weekly round-up of the sites, blogs, Tumblrs and more that we're currently obsessed with. Take a look at a few of our recent faves below, and feel free to share yours in the comments.
Cat Scientists of the 1960s
We think cats are geniuses in their own right, and we know you do, too. But some people, unfortunately, need a little more convincing. Peter Vidani is not one of those people, but his Tumblr, Cat Scientists of the 196os, will probably turn all those haters into cat lovers. Who wouldn't crack a smile at the sight of Einstein's body with a cat's head?
Owner's Eyes
Everybody's always comparing the pet to its owner and in some cases the resemblances are uncanny. The Tumblr blog Owner's Eyes, by Jason Travis, is dedicated to making you see these similarities, even if that means PhotoShopping the owner's eyes onto his or her pet. The results are remarkably creepy.
Haven't you ever browsed through Stumbleupon, clicking the "Stumble" button and wondering, "Gee, why isn't there an adorable cat version of this?" Well, there is. You just weren't looking in the right spot for it. This ingenious site syncs up a cat video to an amazingly perfect song. Don't like the song and cat? Click refresh for another selection. Try it once, you'll be addicted. And you'll never hear 'Kung-Fu Fighting' the same way again.
Batman Running Away From Sh*t
The best parts about the old 'Batman' TV show are when Batman and his sidekick Robin are running away from… stuff. That's probably why Roberto Salvador decided it would be in the best interest of everyone to stick random scenes (everything from Temple Run to 'Jersey Shore') in the background and have the masked crusader run away from it. Simple, but timeless.
Lucille Bluth Meets Mitt Romney
This hilarious Tumblr offers up Mitt Romney quotes over photos of 'Arrested Development' character Lucille Bluth (ably played by Jessica Walter). The result is both perfect and makes us hope the 'Arrested' gang will hurry up and make new episodes already.

From an editorial in the Egyptian newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm titled "Egypt to Gaza: The road begins here":
As part of Egypt's conscience and its rising revolutionary fabric, we at Al-Masry Al-Youm call for a public campaign to invite the Freedom Flotilla II to sail to the Gaza Strip from one of Egypt's ports.
While we believe the Freedom Flotilla II is better off sailing from Egypt for logistical reasons, we also think the decision gives a strong political message. This is the political message of enacting popular solidarity with the Palestinian cause and challenging the incumbent naval blockade. This is also our chance to rewrite a shameful political history of Egypt sponsoring the blockade, especially during Israel's war on the strip during the 2009 Cast Lead operation, when over 1000 Palestinians – mostly civilians – lost their lives.
"The Audacity of Hope" is one of the flotilla ships names as well as the title of Barack Obama's autobiography, written before he became US president. This title acknowledges the fact that regular citizens are the real makers of history. The status quo will not be changed through countries and institutions alone, but through people's struggle against the blind clinging to power.
This was the logic behind the 25 January revolution, during which millions of Egyptians raised the slogan "dignity" to reinvent the meaning of their humanity and determine their own futures.
Now that we're in the process of reclaiming our history and dignity, our struggle transcends borders and nation states and extends to other sagas of oppression. Gaza, as part of the Palestinian cause, has its place in our collective consciousness. The struggle of its one-and-a-half million people is one with which we identify, and we're re-awakened to it in light of our on-going struggle. Moreover, the road to Gaza begins in Egypt, the natural point of departure for any quest to break the blockade, in force since 2007.
For these reasons, Freedom Flotilla II must sail from Egypt.
Read the entire editorial here and follow the discussion around the proposal on Twitter.

I'd say my weirdest habit is biting on the skin of my lip. I heard it's because of anxiety, but I don't even do it while I'm anxious, I just do it because.
I have no idea why I do this, but I pick my lip when I'm agitated. I also play with my hair sometimes if I'm deep in thought/bored. The playing with my hair isn't so bad. Sometimes I pick my lip to the point where it bleeds. I'm much better at NOT doing it when my hands are "busy."
My backlog...
I waste money a lot. Sometimes intentionally.
Jealousy, stubbornness, not being able to keep my mouth shut when need be, anxiety issues, the fact that I can still love, and choosing assholes as bf's.
Cracking my fingers and telling myself I'm going to bed early, but end up finally getting off the computer at like 2 am.
It's foolish to fear what we've yet to see and know. ~Itachi Uchiha

Latest bad habit, actually one that has recently resurfaced is wearing pajamas out in public. Wake up and run to bank or post office wearing cozy flannel pj's.
I see people come to class at my university in pajamas.
My bad habit is saying "Yeah" or "Umm" too much instead of "Yes" and removing my filler words.

That was my point, it should be students and retirees wearing pajamas, not supposedly responsible adults, I was willing to settle into this status in a year or two when I retire, but not yet.
Have the same problem with language, only live an hour outside of D.C. but seems worlds away. The majority of the populace have hick accents and speak very poor English. Not that I associate with the wildlife but unfortunately in listening I find myself picking up yeahs as well, so I'm very often correcting my yeahs with yes. Definitely an irritating habit to negate. Good luck!
Picking my nose while driving and flinging the boogers out the window...
Seriously, I should stop doing that, people can see me.
But you know...Thug life.
- procrastinating
- hesitating
- pacing the floor while mentally occupied
- saying gibberish when stressed
- running my hand down my face when stressed
- being unable to relax (it takes me about 2 hours to fall asleep. I'm laying in bed exhausted, really sleepy but I just can't fall asleep. Exercise, music, rain, hot shower, cold shower, reading, staring at the ceiling, nothing seems to work)
Free your mind!
I got a lot of bad habits:
-going to bed late
-nail biting
-Getting pissed off easily
-If something interesting happens in my life, I would have to tell someone else about it.
-Im proud of my eyelashes so I touch them during class making me look really weird.
-I doubt people since my elementary school "Friends" were lying pricks.
-I'll stay home and play videogames for days and not shower. But if I go outside or have visitors I will shower.
-I have some hairclips that I would put around the house making me have to search for it.
-When I'm working with earphones in and the music stops, I will totally forget to turn it on again.
-Terrible swearing. I try not to around children and (respectable) adults.
These are only a few that I can think of right now

Cornish radio station re-enacts WW1 shipping warning
The moment Poldhu Radio Station in Cornwall informed shipping of the declaration of World War One has been re-enacted 100 years on.
Just hours after Britain declared war on Germany the Helston station sent out a Morse code message to warn merchant ships to stay away from German ports.
The station believes the signal was sent out before newspapers were issued.
To mark the World War One anniversary, the Morse code message has been recreated at the Poldhu Radio Centre.
Poldhu Radio Centre continued to keep shipping informed of what was going on and where potential danger lay throughout the war.
Mike Thomas, Mayor of Helston, said: "It was very important that our shipping were aware of the dangers, I suspect they were very conscious that the events on the world stage were very dangerous so it was crucial the message got to them to avoid German ports."
Little remains of the radio station building but Mr Barlow said Poldhu Radio Centre aimed to keep the memories of the station alive.
