Tess Montague – GSG Gogo Director
Tess Montague has been a part of the GSG team for almost two years. She began with us as a dancer and has recently took on a larger role with the company, running the go go dancers and helping out with events, either as a performer, or behind the scenes. Within these roles she has the responsibility of costume design, costume coordinator, event coordinator, management, art director, and the integral task of connecting, building and keeping relationships with clients. She is a hardworking, determined and creative person, eager to learn and perfect new skills and embracing any challenge that comes her way. Tess is a key member of GSG, attributing confidence and the motivation to continue growing our company.
Apart from GSG Productions, she has also worked at a private school as a full time Behavioral interventionist for the past three years. This position involves one-on-one support with children and students of all ages with anxiety disorders, or autism. Because of her desire and motivation to help people in need, as well as her natural ability for interacting with children with compassion and understanding, she has been able to provide support, with immense progress, creating a lasting difference in their lives. She confidently overcomes obstacles with motivation on her own, or through a developed team dynamic. Her personality, on and off stage, is friendly, positive and engaging, with a vibrant energy to fill the room.
When she's not busy at work, you will catch her creating in one way or another. Whether it's dancing in the Army of Sass dance group, playing music, photographing, painting, or decorating her home, there's always a passion and joy radiating from her. She finds her inspiration through appreciating all the beauty in the world, which appears to be endless, and transmits it through love and an open-mind.
"I have had the pleasure of working with Geneen and GSG Productions for almost two years. She took me under her wing and taught, inspired, and supported me through dance. She has created so many opportunities for me to grow and develop as a person, and a dancer, and I have greatly appreciated every moment of it. I love working for GSG because there are many opportunities for learning new skills, social, physical, and educational; therefore opening up many doors, and allowing me to meet and grow close to some of the most amazing woman I know."

As the Administrative Assistant for GSG Productions, Leigh takes pride in building relationships with companies across Canada, and in turn providing work for Canadian dancers.
Faye Tassioulas – Sales
Faye has been mesmerized by movement and dance since childhood. While stage-fright kept her away from the spotlight in ballet class as a child, she finally realized her dreams of performing as an adult under the professional and encouraging direction of Geneen, Vanessa, and the Army of Sass team. Having personally experienced the transformative power of dance in such a positive atmosphere, Faye became an ardent fan of GSG Productions and their mission in sharing the joy of dance throughout Vancouver and beyond.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee has a huge fan club. it can pull its weight for soccer games, vacation and after school events. However, if you are shorter than average, you might have trouble reaching the brake pedal. Follow these steps to adjust the brake pedal height as you need it and increase your comfort level in a 1997 to 2008 model Grand Cherokee.
Find the brake yoke on your Jeep Grand Cherokee. It will be under the dash, located in the same area as the brake pedal. Look just above the brake pedal and over to the side.
Follow the pedal upward to the point it attaches to a rod, called the push rod. Mark the pushrod with a marking pencil or some nail polish. A dot of something will help to ensure you keep the rod facing the right direction. Keep an eye on this during the job and check it again when you are through.
Locate the locking nuts for the push rod and loosen them with a 17-mm wrench. Don't let the push rod turn. If it does, turn it back so that the mark is in front of you. You may need to use one wrench to hold the bracket and another to break loose the nut.
Use pliers to grasp the push rod until you have loosened the lock nuts. Turn the pushrod, using a 10-mm wrench, in the direction necessary in order to lengthen or shorten the Jeep Grand Cherokee pedal height.
Leave a minimum of 3 mm (less than 1/4 inch) distance from the brake stop to the brake pedal. The pedal will automatically stop at the rubber grommet positioned on its path toward the bracket. This distance allows the brake pedal to pull the push rod all the way back. Once this happens, the brake servo will be able to operate correctly.
Retighten the lock nut. Adjust the brake light switch if necessary.
Most recent
- The 2004 and later Jeep Grand Cherokee models come with power adjustable pedals already installed.
- Try not to over adjust the brake pedal height. The brake pedal does not need to adjust to the full height of the throttle. You will just have to see what works for you.
- When finished, take the Jeep Grand Cherokee for a test drive to see how the new pedal height adjustment works.
- Do not allow the brake pedal to sit on the brake stop when finished or you will harm the vehicle's braking ability.

Census 2020
Help Us Count Everyone
The Constitution of the Unites States requires a full count of the population every ten years; starting in 1790 the Census Bureau has counted every resident of the United States. Previous censuses would request households to return their census forms by mail or census workers would visit neighborhoods to count remaining households. The 2020 Census plans to add an online response form to use modern and cost-efficient methods to count everyone once and in the right place.
Why It's Important
The data that will be collected by the 2020 Census are critical for states, counties and communities. Minnesota's State Demographer's office has outlined why the census is important and how it can impact Moorhead.
Census Timeline
Activities for the 2020 Census are already underway in preparations for Census Day - April 1, 2020. A general timeline has been developed by the State Demographers office for reference.
Census Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Answers to common questions about the decennial census from the U.S. Census Bureau.
How To Get Involved
Moorhead has developed a Complete Count Committee to help educate and reach all of our citizens. If you are interested in helping achieve a complete count, please let us know.
Census Job Opportunities
Census Jobs are available now and more will open in 2020.

Circulating pigment epithelium-derived factor levels are associated with insulin resistance and decrease after weight loss
Sabater M, Moreno-Navarrete JM, Ortega FJ, Pardo G, Salvador J, Ricart W, Frühbeck G, Fernández-Real JM.
Department of Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Nutrition, Institut d'Investigació Biomèdica de Girona, Instituto de Salud Carlos III, Girona, Spain.
Revisão:The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism
Data: 1/Out/2010Área de Obesidade Endocrinologia e Nutrição [ES]
We aimed to study circulating pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) in vivo in association with insulin resistance and in vitro in human adipocytes.
Circulating PEDF (ELISA) and metabolic profile were assessed in 125 Caucasian men. PEDF levels were also assessed in an independent cohort of subjects (n = 33) to study the effects of changing insulin action. PEDF gene expression and secretion were measured during differentiation of human preadipocytes.
In all subjects, PEDF was positively associated with body mass index (r = 0.326; P < 0.0001), waist-to-hip ratio (r = 0.380; P < 0.0001), HbA(1c), and fasting triglycerides and negatively with insulin sensitivity (r = -0.320; P < 0.0001). PEDF levels were significantly increased in subjects with altered glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes. Of the inflammatory markers measured, PEDF levels were positively associated with serum soluble TNF-α receptor 1 and IL-10 in obese subjects. Interestingly, weight loss led to significantly decreased PEDF concentration from 34.8 ± 19.3 to 22.5 ± 14.2 μg/ml (P < 0.0001).
Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that insulin sensitivity contributed independently to explain 14% of the variance in PEDF levels after controlling for the effects of body mass index, age, and log fasting triglycerides. Differences in PEDF observed after weight loss were related to changes in obesity, insulin resistance, and blood pressure measures. PEDF gene expression and secretion increased during differentiation of human preadipocytes.
Circulating PEDF is associated with insulin sensitivity. The findings show, for the first time in humans, that PEDF concentrations decrease significantly after weight loss in association with blood pressure. PEDF seems to be involved in human adipocyte biology.

More than ever before, girls are studying and excelling in science and mathematics. Yet the dramatic increase in girls' educational achievements in scientific and mathematical subjects has not been matched by similar increases in the representation of women working as engineers and computing professionals. Why there are still so few women in the critical fields of engineering and computing? AAUW's Solving the Equation: The Variables for Women's Success in Engineering and Computing explains what we can do to make these fields open to and desirable for all employees.

India, which is 79 per cent dependent on imports to meet its crude oil needs, is building underground storages at Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh and Mangalore and Padur in Karnataka to store about 5.33 million tonnes of crude oil to guard against global price shocks and supply disruptions.
Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) is keen on taking half of the 1.5 million tons Mangalore facility, Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said today.
It will stock 0.75 million tons or 6 million barrels of oil in one compartment of Mangalore facility. Of this, 0.5 million tons will belong to India and it can use it in emergencies. Adnoc will use the facility as a warehouse for trading its oil.
The 1.33 million tons Visakhapatnam storage and 2.5 million tons Padur stockpile together with 1.5 million tons Mangalore storage will be enough to meet nation's oil requirement of about 10 days.
After talks with visiting UAE Minister for Energy Suhail Mohammed Al Mazrouei, Pradhan said tax issue remains to be sorted out before Adnoc can begin storing oil at Mangalore.
Congress-ruled Karnataka government has not yet agreed on waiving VAT on the crude oil imported for the strategic storage, which UAE wants to use to stock oil when prices are low and supply to its customers when rates are good.
"This will be beginning of our strategic ties," he said, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to UAE in August last year, the first by an Indian Prime Minister in 38 years, laid the foundation of closer cooperation.
UAE had then committed to invest USD 75 billion in India, and Pradhan today showcased to Mazrouei opportunities for that investment.
"We have offered them refinery projects, petrochemical plans, pipelines and LNG terminals for investment," he said.
On offer was 26 per cent stake for USD 700 million in ONGC's about-to-be-commissioned petrochemical project at Dahej in Gujarat and 24 per cent equity for USD 200 million in expansion being planned by BPCL of its subsidiary Bina refinery in Madhya Pradesh from 6 million tons to 7.5 million tons.
Also, an investment of USD 530-850 million can get the UAE 25-40 per cent stake in HPCL's planned petrocehmical plant on the Andhra coast, he said, adding that the Gulf national can also invest in the planned 60 million tons in Maharashtra and the Jagdishpur-Haldia and Paradip-Surat gas pipelines.
"UAE makes up for 8 per cent of our oil imports. We are trying to import more oil from UAE. In 2016-17, we plan to import 2.5 million tons more oil than current year's purchase of 16.11 million tons," he said.

So, I just realized I actually have three paper dolls on the site all named Flora (one short run doll, one pixie paper doll and the regency doll) and I don't even like the name Flora that much… I feel a little like a ditz as a result, but I don't plan on letting it get to me too much. I mean, all ready pretty much have accepted that I'm a bit spacey (usually I try to blame this on a combination of work, school and everything else).
{Click Here for a PDF to Print} {Click Here for a 150 dpi PNG to Print} {Click Here for The Rest of this Series} {Click Here for the Doll to Dress}
Today Flora (the Regency one) has a morning dress and a set of short stays. According to Ewing's book Fashion in Underwear (which is being reprinted by Dover), the short stays were common through 1800 with this example I drew dating from 1790. There was a dramatic drop in the number of stays manufactures in the early 1800s. I always thought stays and corsets were distinctly different objects, but I have recently learned that, according to both Ewing and a few others, that the terms were used interchangeably for most of the 19th century before "corset" survived into the 20th and "stays" stayed (bad pun, I know) in the 19th century.
Her morning dress is based on this illustration from the New York Public Library Digital Gallery which dates from and, of course, she has a cap to go with it. The morning dress was considered undress by the women of the era (there was also full dress and half dress) and was not usually worn outside of the house. It's a beautiful garment though and the style of sleeve was called the "Juliet Sleeve" which I think is rather romantic and also.. um… does not bode well for the person wearing it.
Also, there's a new poll. I'm enjoying polls. They take the stress out of decision making. 🙂

Senior governments are being told to flex some muscles when it comes to mussels.
The Okanagan Basin Water Board is demanding that the provincial and federal government initiate efforts to prevent the spread of the invasive zebra and quagga mussels.
"We need the federal and provincial governments to be serious about the issue," said Juliette Cunningham, a Vernon director, adding that OBWB and local communities can only do so much to prevent the arrival of the mussels which are from Europe originally and have spread across North America.

If your recipient travels a lot on business, check out these inexpensive yet essential travel gift ideas.
These items can make the difference between a successful business trip and a business trip from hell... So get some or al of them and put together a life saving travel gift basket for your recipient to love!
Container: basket, shoe bag, toiletries bag, laundry bag, suitcase /carry-on bag.
|Packing Checklist - a free travel gift idea! print out this business travel packing list and include it in your gift basket - your recipient will never leave anything behind again. You can even laminate it, so it can be used on numerous occasions.
|Travel adapter plug - an international plug with a USB port is the best choice to cover all grounds.
USB memory stick
|Song collection - save a cool song collection on the above memory stick for your recipient to enjoy when "killing time". For a personal touch, record yourself telling a joke, singing a song or just expressing how much you miss the recipient, and add it to the playlist to surprise him/her.
|Earphones - today's mobile gadgets can become music players to enjoy when passing time (at airport/ plane/ train etc) but what good are they without earphones?
|Chewing gum - preferably a fresh mint flavor. For these awkward bad-breath moments with no access to a toothbrush/bathroom (e.g. when woken up on the plane just before landing).
|Portable mouse - crucial for those who struggle with laptop touchpads (like me...)
|Passport cover
|Inflatable travel pillow
|Eye mask and Ear plugs - two classic travel gift ideas that can improve any trip.
Pen - it is so annoying not to have one when you need to fill in landing cards or to quickly jot down a phone number.
Notepad - to write notes in when electronic gadgets cannot be used.
|Wallet - when traveling overseas you usually don't need most of your daily wallet's content, and it's a pain emptying it for the sake of the trip. An extra wallet for traveling can store all relevant essentials (foreign currency, prepaid phone cards, passport etc.) and is immediately ready for use.
|Luggage name tag - a cheap yet practical travel gift idea to help identify one's luggage. Choose a tag that sticks out.
|Laundry bag - to stick all these smelly items in one place.
|Scented bags (sachets)- so the suitcase smells good no matter what's in it (see above item for example...).
|Laundry detergent - a travel size laundry detergent box or sample bag can save the day in an emergency stain situation.
|Pegs - a small yet essential travel gift idea. You cannot believe how useful pegs are when you need to hang items to dry or gather items together.
|Folding tot bag - for spontaneous shopping
|Travel compression bags - the ones you put your clothes in and compress by sucking the air out of. They save loads of suitcase space when packing.
|Wrinkle release spray
|Shoe bag - to separate shoes from other packed items. It can be any fabric bag (e.g. reusable fabric grocery bags).
|Coffee/ tea bags - most hotels amenities include electric kettles so upgrade your recipient's stay with a few of his/her favorite coffee/tea bags.
|Travel size toiletry containers - your recipient can fill them with his/her favorite toiletries.
|Travel size toothpaste - one of the essentials you don't want to run out of when traveling. Full size toothpaste takes too much space and finding toothpaste once you are at the hotel is not as easy as it sounds.
|Sample perfume - get a sample perfume / aftershave mini-spray at a cosmetics counter of any department store to include in your gift basket. It's much more comfortable to pack and a good chance to experiment with new fragrances.
|Sleeping aids -include natural sleeping aids such as melatonin tablets or herbal sleep remedies for those who find it hard to fall asleep while traveling. Have a look at the light sleeper gift basket page for more ideas.
|Lip balm - dry lips can drive one up the wall, especially on airplanes where the air is so dry.
|Pain relievers - a few pain relief tablets just in case...
|Book - there is nothing like good book to pass the time. Especially when all electronic gadgets run out of battery or cannot be used...
|Magazine - same idea as a book but for lighter readers.

I probably got your attention, though.
I'm not better than anyone, & I know this very well.
Yet there seems to be an issue with parents in claiming superiority over other parents because of parenting choices, & it's on both sides of the fence. I find it annoying. Sometimes, it's downright dangerous.
Because I attachment parent & try to keep things natural & organic (read "I turned out to be crunchier than I or anyone else expected"), which involves following my instincts to encourage a safe, secure, confident relationship between my children & me while constantly researching & learning about everything, I've come under fire many times from all different directions, including family, friends, the medical industry, & more. I've gained support from other parents who also follow attachment parenting guidelines through friends, blogs, Facebook, & various online sites. I'm confident that the decisions I'm making for my children are the best ones…for MY children.
I'm not going to tell you that you're making the wrong decisions for yours. I'm not going to accost you with studies & evidence & whatever else, then beat you over the head with it. I believe you love your children, as I love mine, & you will make decisions based on what you know & believe is best. If I disagree with you, I'll usually keep my mouth shut & try to continue to offer my support. If I disagree strongly, I might respectfully offer my own view on things. But I'm not going to try to make you feel bad. I'm not going to try to change you or convince you that I know better. Because I don't.
You know your children best, while I know mine best. You love your children more than anyone else does, just like I love my children more than anyone else does. You worry about your decisions regarding your children, & I worry about mine.
Whether it's to vaccinate or not vaccinate, to spank or not to spank, to breastfeed or formula feed…the decisions are endless. The information available, overwhelming.
Time Magazine made Attachment Parenting its cover topic this month, & while I found some of the articles to be rather positive, on the whole, I was disappointed to see the inflammatory approach straight from the cover.
First, there's the picture, which is completely unnatural & which I think is intentionally sensualized. From the discussion I've seen in the AP community, moms are torn. Some of them love it, others hate it, & some are trying to see it positively. I'm just not impressed.
Then there's the caption: "Are you mom enough?" Ummmm…so when did AP become a the scales by which we rate motherhood? And when did AP become a solely mother-based parenting style? And how is a non-AP mother supposed to not feel judged? This just fuels the disconnect between parents who go AP & everyone else. And it makes me mad. Or disappointed. Or both.
It's things like this, the misrepresentation of AP, the encouragement to judge & deem lacking, that continues to divide us as parents & erode our support systems.
I've left AP boards because they attacked anyone who dared spank their child. Even though they had some good, evidence-based arguments to back them up, their volatile response to those who spanked was not only completely inappropriate, but it alienated a parent who might have been interested in the studies against corporal punishment otherwise.
I guess what I'm getting at is that we should all be working together, not being divided by our differences in style. We should be sharing information, educating each other, defending each other, praying for each other.
The fact is, for every study you find supporting something, you can usually find another opposing it. The fact is, many happy, productive adults with good family relations were spanked as children. The fact is, we are all doing the best we know how, & we all love our children.
There is so much information out there, so many things to consider, that no one can be expected to get it all right. We don't have to expect it of ourselves, & we don't have to expect it of others either.
Let's just all play nice.
That's all I'm saying.

Since glee is on hiatus until March 7th, it's time to do another Twenty Five Song list!!!
Especially since I feel energized because a song I suggested on the Twenty Five Songs That the Gentlemen of New Directions Should Cover "Old Time Rock and Roll" is going to be covered in episode 15, season 4 "Girls (and Boys) On Film"! Well I totally feel excited and justified to put out another list.
Actually funny thing is one of the songs I originally was going to put on here "Footloose" is also going to be covered in "Girls (and Boys) On Film". Since that doesn't feel kosher for me to put it on now, I had to switch my entire list around.
But I can assure you, it was definitely top ten.
So the rules for this list is that well they are group numbers. So it has to be minimum four members past/present of New Directions and different genders. Most of the entries on this list will consistent of two featured soloists with a "with New Directions" beside it or just "New Directions".
Plus I'll try to articulate better as to why this song should be featured though several of the entries here will have the explanation of "Because I really, really, really like it." But like I said I'll try to articulate.
So without further ado! Let's take a look at the Twenty Five Songs That New Directions As A Group Should Cover!!!!

Use a seam ripper to make a tiny hole where you want the foot to go. Push the two prongs of the foot up through the hole. If you have an interlining or bag base push the prongs through that also, if you haven't either of those, cut a square of thicker fabric and push the prongs through that.
Once through fold the prongs back. You don't need the backing disks but if you feel you do want something extra cut a piece of margerine tub into a square and make a single hole and use that.

Suomenlinna (Finnish; until 1918 Viapori), or Sveaborg (Swedish), literal translation in Finnish is Castle of Finland and in Swedish Castle of Sweden is an inhabited sea fortress built on six islands (Kustaanmiekka (sv:Vargskär / Gustavssvärd), Susisaari (sv:Vargö), Iso-Mustasaari (sv:Stora Östersvartö), Pikku-Mustasaari (sv:Lilla Östersvartö), Länsi-Mustasaari (sv:Västersvartö), and Långören) and which now forms part of the city of Helsinki, the capital of Finland.
Suomenlinna is a UNESCO World Heritage site and popular with tourists and locals, who enjoy it as a picturesque picnic site. Originally named Sveaborg (Fortress of Svea), or Viapori as called by Finnish-speaking Finns, it was renamed in Finnish to Suomenlinna (Castle of Finland) in 1918 for patriotic and nationalistic reasons, though it is still known by its original name in Sweden and by Swedish-speaking Finns.
The Swedish crown commenced the construction of the fortress in 1748 as protection against Russian expansionism. The general responsibility for the fortification work was given to Augustin Ehrensvärd. The original plan of the bastion fortress was strongly influenced by the ideas of Vauban, the foremost military engineer of the time, and the principles of star fort style of fortification, albeit adapted to a group of rocky islands.
In addition to the island fortress itself, seafacing fortifications on the mainland would ensure that an enemy would not acquire a beach-head from which to stage attacks. The plan was also to stock munitions for the whole Finnish contingent of the Swedish Army and Royal Swedish Navy there. In the Finnish War the fortress surrendered to Russia on May 3, 1808, paving the way for the occupation of Finland by Russian forces in 1809.

Can Turkey's Trashy Coasts Be Transformed?
Ukrainian cyclist Vyacheslav Stoyanov found plenty of garbage marring the Black Sea coastline. Photos via Vyacheslav Stoyanov.
They say when you're really in love, you become a bit blind to the object of your affection's flaws. If that's true, my love affair with Istanbul must still be going strong, because I often barely even seen the trash strewn everywhere anymore. It took a visit from some San Francisco friends to make me realize how firmly my blinders had become fastened. I would take them to a spot I found lovely and "natural," and they would say, "It would be great if there wasn't so much garbage." But the observations of a cyclist who recently pedaled around the Black Sea suggest I might not be the only one who's become inured to the sight.Turkey's coasts among the dirtiest
Vyacheslav Stoyanov, a 35-year-old Ukrainian of Bulgarian descent, spent 45 days circling the banks of the Black Sea to raise awareness about pollution, both in the water and on the coastline. The 6,000-kilometer trek took him through Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Georgia, and Turkey -- and he concluded that Turkey was among the dirtiest countries on the expedition.
The cyclist, whose "Life Without Rubbish" tour will next take him to Greece and Macedonia to survey the Ionian, Cretan, Aegean and White Sea coasts, told the Turkish newspaper Today's Zaman that plentiful, conveniently placed garbage cans and positive reinforcement -- such as billboards that say "Thank you for keeping roads clean" -- seemed to play a big role in distinguishing clean areas from dirty ones. He also attributed the squalid conditions of the coastline in Abkhazia, a breakaway region of Georgia, to socioeconomic factors, saying, "Life there is so difficult, and the people are poor."
Does poverty lead to pollution?
Sounds logical, right? After all, many of us in the West tend to think of poverty and filth as synonymous, whether we believe that poor people lack the will, or just the means, to live in a cleaner environment. I realized I share some of that same prejudice on a recent trip to Turkey's southeast, its poorest region. In Diyarbakır, the area's largest city, unemployment is estimated at 40 percent -- almost triple the national average.
But as my friend and I wandered the city's back streets, tailed by children asking us for money, we noticed that empty lots were just that -- empty. Not piled up with trash or broken-down appliances, they were just bare patches of land. And though the streets themselves were far too small to bring a garbage truck through, they too were clear of refuse.
The relics of consumer culture
Discussing the topic recently with a fellow environmentalist here in Istanbul, we pondered whether a lack of garbage was a sign that consumerist culture had not completely infiltrated yet. When she was a small girl growing up in Ankara, the woman said, there was no garbage pick-up in her neighborhood, though her mother would pile up newspapers for a man -- what we might today call a scavenger -- who would give the family a few wooden clothespins for the stack. But there was less to throw away back then, certainly none of the water bottles that Stoyanov saw clogging shorelines, and few packaged goods in general. In a city like Diyarbakır, that may still be the case, the residents' lack of means inadvertently saving them from the plight of Aegean towns like Çakmaklı, where tourism and industry bring in dollars, but also detritus.
Residents there say ships visiting harbors near Çakmaklı drop their waste in the region's bays, turning them into a "plastic bag dumping area" where the water has become too dirty to swim in. "The area's nature is already polluted by the factories around," local official Ahmet Kahraman told the Hürriyet Daily News and Economic Review. "Now our village, one of the few places that managed to stay clean, is at risk because of the ships.... Most of the plastic bags are their waste, and the bilge sometimes creates a greasy layer on the surface of the sea."
Akyaka Beach stands out
But the news isn't entirely bad along Turkey's coasts. Akyaka Beach in MuÄŸla province, further down the Aegean shore, is a public beach rated in the Blue Flag system for good water quality and environmental management; recently, it was "hailed as an 'example-setting beach'" at a meeting of the organization that administers the international eco-label, the Daily News reports in a separate article. To achieve this success, the municipality set up a treatment facility to deal with septic waste from touring yachts and conducted a public-education campaign to promote cleaning up the area's beaches and waters.
"Vehicles used to go over the sand [and] shop owners used to empty their buckets full of dirty water on the beach. We have stopped both," Akyaka Mayor Ahmet Çalca told the Daily News. "We also placed many ash trays on the beach so that the smokers do not bury cigarette ends in the sand."
If Akyaka's example indeed spreads, perhaps more people here will be reminded, like I was, that trash is not an inevitable fact of life. And perhaps the next person who attempts a bike ride around Turkey's coastline will have more to praise than to lament.

Meet Bo, our "Heinz 57 Varieties" dog, who is 15" tall, 4'7" long (nose to tail tip) and weighs ninety-seven pounds. You couldn't "pinch an inch" if I offered you a ten-dollar bill!
If Bo just knew how ferocious he looks! Let's pretend you walk into our yard. He has basset ears, so they never stand up; they elevate maybe a quarter of an inch and then he gets this very serious, inquisitive look on his face and saunters casually towards you—all ninety-seven pounds of him. You would slow your pace. Your heart rate would probably elevate and you might be just a tad anxious, if it weren't for that one de-tail—it wags—constantly.
Bo fears only two things, vacuum cleaners (and other such unknown frightening objects that make loud noises) and thunderstorms. Now, if a storm were to come and we weren't at home, he'd head for the bed—not under it—on top of it! I guess if I were scared I might head for the bed, too, and put my curls under my pillow!
I'm sure he could smell the change in the weather yesterday, and when it began looking pretty dark and ominous he decided to stay in close proximity to his master—me. I don't know why he has decided that I'm a safer haven than Bill, but he chooses me as his lifesaver in such life-threatening situations. He was "sticking closer than a brother" and he doesn't even know the verse!
Then it happened, a piercing flash of light and a crash of thunder! He was a mass of nerves, and he stayed that way until the storm subsided and the sun peeked out late in the afternoon. He didn't leave my side for the duration. I talked softly to him and from my cooking I shared some chicken tidbits with him every so often to comfort him and keep his mind off the "impending doom" that was in his "horror-scope" for the day. When it was all over, Bo could once more get back to his important "dog-job"—snoozing peacefully, stretched out in the middle of the floor. (He creates quite an imposing "speed bump"!)
All of this to say that sometimes in our own lives, it's ominously dark. We know a storm is on the way and suddenly it hits! A blast of thunder crashes through our front door and a forked flash of lightening pierces our ceiling. (Look out, bed! Here I come!) But wait! Could it be possible that my sweet Bo is smarter than we are? Our Master is at home and He's much safer than the bed! Should we maybe get in very close proximity to Him and stay there? He knows we're scared to death, that we're insecure, that we don't know what's going to happen and that we need a "comfort zone." He will feed us nourishing tidbits from His table and He'll talk to us—consoling us, encouraging us, assuring us of His love and His power to protect us from the devastating storms of life.
Such times are good for us I know—these times of crashing thunder and impending doom. They help to remind us again of our weakness and of His strength, of our complete dependency upon Him. He knew we'd be that way and He says to us, "Don't be afraid. Don't look anxiously about you and be dismayed. Keep your eyes on me. I am with you. I will help you. I'm holding your hand with My strong right hand. It's Me—God—talking to you and saying to you, don't be afraid. I'm God—the One holding you, remember? I remember. I know He says that, but it's still scary. It hurts. I'm terrified. What's going to become of me?
Jesus has forewarned me that bad times will come. He says, "Anabel, in the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration." That couldn't be said more clearly—and it has proven true. Grief, pain, loss, separation, sorrow, loneliness, tears, frustration, death, sadness, disillusionment, disappointment, failure—they and all in their unhappy family are clustered under the column headed, Trials and Tribulations. But He goes on to say, "Be of good cheer—take courage, be confident, certain, undaunted." And I want to say, "How can I be all of those things, Lord? Don't You know I'm hurting? Don't You know I'm scared? Don't You realize the seriousness of this situation?" His answer is soft. There's a note of pleading in His words. There's compassion and love. "Anabel, I have overcome the world. I have deprived it of power to harm, I have conquered it for you" (John 16:33 AMP).
Jesus Christ dwells within me to face life for me. I do not have the power nor the wisdom to meet all of those trials and tribulations in myself—the grief, the financial setbacks, the unexpected tragedies—but He does and He has given me Himself specifically for when the storms are raging without and within. I have been accepted into His family. I am loved and He is my constant companion, the Friend who really does stick closer than the proverbial brother. Those are just a few of the tidbits that He gives us from His table—some of the words He whispers to us when things go wrong.
I communicate something to my Master when I keep telling Him how scared I am—how helpless I feel—when His presence brings no relief and when His words fall on frightened, unhearing ears. I'm saying to Him: I do not believe You, God. I doubt Your word. I doubt Your power. I doubt Your love.
Bo doesn't bother me lying under my feet when the thunder's rattling around in the heavens. I understand. I just wish I could convince sweet, old Bo that everything is going to be all right. I wish I could talk to him and tell him that I'm not going to let anything hurt him. I wish he knew my deep love for him and that I have no intention of deserting him, no matter how loud the rolling thunder, how fiercely the wind blows, or how many seconds away that last jagged bolt of lightening was when it hit—just the things God wishes we would know and remember.

Tonight the Washington Post reports a major blockbuster which will not be covered by the #FakeStream media:
Three CNN employees resign over retracted story on Russia ties
Now for the consequences. CNN announced on Monday afternoon that three network officials are leaving their jobs over the incident: Frank, the reporter on the story; Eric Lichtblau, a recent CNN addition from the New York Times who edited the piece; and Lex Haris, the executive editor of "CNN Investigates." The moves follow an investigation carried out by CNN executives over the weekend, with the conclusion that longstanding network procedures for publishing stories weren't properly followed. "There was a significant breakdown in process," says a CNN source. "There were editorial checks and balances within the organization that weren't met."
The official CNN statement: "In the aftermath of the retraction of a story published on CNN.com, CNN has accepted the resignations of the employees involved in the story's publication."
Double Boom.
First, rare is that the partners in #FakeNews actually report on resignations or firings due to propaganda being refuted so strongly as what happened to CNN. CNN however has elected, due to corporate design and editorial pressure to abandon any pretense of non-bias much as the Washington Post which is a shocker, as both parties have directly and indirectly worked on stories to attack and weaken President Trump.
Secondly, the #FakeStream (aka MSM) media is now in turmoil. The program to have President Trump resign by July 4th is out the window. The Democratic Party leadership is now focused on self-preservation and attacking each other for failures which happened under their watch. This destroys the narrative that the influence of propaganda instruments like MSDNC, CNN, and the Washington Post is now fading rapidly; especially as America slumbers into its traditional summer vacation away from the jerkwads in American politics.
Finally, the U.S. public appears to have finally rejected the politics of the past. The Republican policies of going along to get along are in trouble. The Democratic Party policy of attack with fraud, lies, and deceit to achieve their goals, even if pissing off the middle class, is now a dead end street which will cost them more seats in the 2018 mid-term versus traditional thinking. The problem with both parties is that they have no perception as to just how pissed off the people who pay taxes really are. The Snowflakes, many of whom do not understand this new reality, also are now beginning to realize their parents are ready to "cut them off" if they do not stop this bullshit.
Ah to live in 2017.
Too bad SMOD was such a loser candidate like Ted Cruz.

Driver Uninjured in Crash Near LaGrande of Semi Carrying Powdered Milk [PHOTOS]
No crying over spilt milk -- because the load stayed intact!
Oregon State Troopers responded to a crash on Interstate 84 near La Grande, Oregon, Wednesday around 12:20 p.m.
A flatbed semi driven by 66-year-old David A. Terry of Nampa, Idaho, struck the westbound guard rail and rolled onto the shoulder.
OSP officers said a problem with the right front tire on the truck had caused him to lose control prior to the crash. Terry was using his safety restraints and didn't sustain any injuries. The large container on his flatbed was full of powdered milk, but stayed intact during the crash, and none of the load was spilled.

Save the Stockport Metroshuttle
19th February 2019
Stockport Council is planning to scrap the free Metroshuttle bus service in Stockport town centre.
This service gives ease of access to many parts of the town centre for shoppers carrying heavy bags and is especially of great value to elderly and disabled passengers.
It also makes an important contribution towards objectives of reducing traffic congestion and hence reducing air pollution and carbon emissions.
This is a highly valued service which is good use of Council funds and which should be built upon instead of scrapped.

Godbole, Rohini M (1999) Women in science. In: Current Science, 77 (12). p. 1567.

I very much appreciated the editorial on the subject of 'Women in science' in the 10 October 1999 issue of Current Science. I think it really brings out many basic facts (even rudimentary ones about things such as rest rooms) which, I am sure, are known but most of us find convenient to 'forget'. The great sensitivity and perception of issues the editorial displays must also be complemented.

Despite what the Prince Across the Water, David T may have said, pirates are not cool. They do not have the slightly epicene-look of Captain Jack, but are ugly buggers; and menaces to international shipping and ordinary passersby alike to boot.
As non-state actors, it often can be expected that there will be a domestic judiciary and reliable system of rule-of-law to monitor and restrain them. As such, I would hope there is a supra-national framework which exists to try those involved with piracy and brigandage.
Fortunately there is. For the first time in three centuries, a pirate trial has opened in Europe. Twenty two Somali pirates who boarded the Germany registered MS Taipan off the Horn of Africa in April are facing up to 15 years from a Hamburg court.
The failures surrounding the detention of minor insurgents, hard-core jihadists and Brummie tourists seeking the perfect roti at Guantanamo Bay were myriad. Legislation against piracy and brigandage existed beforehand, and could have provided a more convincing framework for dealing with such attacks on international shipping and operating from unofficial statelets.
The principal benefit of this would have been to avoid the legislative quagmire which was the ex jure status of Guantanamo Bay: although not stroking the egos and wallets of otherwise mediocre QCs and even more common lawyers would not have been unwelcome.
Whatever happens as a result of the Hamburg trial, German courts should soon be considering other cases. Just as these raiders found an apparently deserted ship (the crew were secure in a panic room), followed by a helicopter-raid by Dutch Marines who quickly subdued them, another pirate crew attacking the MV Magellan Star in September was promptly apprehended by US Marines.
On finding the deserted ship, these latter pirates made a satellite call to the headquarters of the shipping line in Germany, demanding to know where the crew was.
German operators informed them that the crew was on leave. And laughed.
With such overt threats to their own citizens and business interests, European politicians and legislators may be more sympathetic to the US court system which also is trying pirates as pirates for the first time since the USMC marched to the shores of Tripoli. Abdiwali Abdiqadir Muse, the sole surviving member of the pirate crew which attacked the MV Maersk Alabama in September 2009 is awaiting sentencing following his trial in New York.
When writing about the Korean peninsula, I prefer to avoid referring to the lacunae of interest in it from the screaming-at-mice brigade who spend every waking moment working themselves into states of near-sexual fury at one side in a regional conflict at the eastern end of the Mediterranean. After, however, watching the continued slanging-match on a Facebook fanpage for Pete Seeger – in which, amongst others, he has been called senile for agreeing to playing in an online concert by The Friends of Arava Institute – I will make an exception, and express a wish that they all be pelted to death with marshmallows (oh, please do not tell Yasmin Alibhai-Brown).
Over to Korea.
Seigfried Hecker, an engineering Professor at Stanford University who inspected DPRK sites on behalf of UN inspectorates this week confirmed he had seen thousands of nuclear centrifuges as well as gleaned techniques which Pyongyang uses to circumvent sanctions in order to make pin money in exports to any fascist murder gang or brutal State which wants to buy.
Yet, as the above Youtube footage shows, nukes are not exactly needed wreak to havoc across the 38th.
The screams of terror of islanders on Yeon Pyeong-do can be heard as they today endured a prolonged artillery barrage from the Korean People's Army, and KPA big cheeses have boasted of having thousands of missiles pointed at Seoul: nukes are more likely to be reserved to irradiating Pusan to forestall American landings from Japan.
A number of civilians have been killed, as well as Korean Marines. Today's events definitely are exponentially worse than the Take Your Son to Work exercise which was the sinking of RoKS Cheonan in May of this year, in which 46 sailors died.
Worse even than the 1996 Gangneung Submarine Infiltration, in which 12 RoK military personnel and four civilians died.
This is perhaps the most serious incident since the 1953 ceasefire.
A joke which will make absolutely no sense to anyone not familiar with north-eastern West Dunbartonshire (and unlikely to result in a laugh from those who are).
Initial reports of an unexplained explosion this week in Garadhban Forest by Gartocharn near Loch Lomond were met with no-mean bemusement that this minor village between the heaving metropolises of Balloch and Drymen could be the scene of a terrorist training camp or arms dump.
It has, however, happened before. Those convicted of the attempted 2007 car-bombing of Glasgow Airport has used this area because of its seclusion and blindness to mobile phone signals. So, if jacobite jihadist involvement is shown, expect Alex Salmond to bluster that those responsible must have come from outside.
Or, conceivably, it could be renegade Irish Republicans. Even better-than-average organized neo-Nazis. Animal rightists appears to have been removed from the rich gumbo which is the terrorism in Britain community.
Or an entirely innocent explanation.
Only Eric Joyce stood down from a Frontbench position after committing a criminal driving offence. Maybe he had drunk middle-class alcohol.
A moment of public rustication aside, Lord Young has it quite good.
I wrote previously about attempts by the screaming-at-mice brigade to browbeat a 91 year old man into submission.
The 91 year old man was Pete Seeger, who had had the temerity to agree to perform in an online concert for With Earth and Each Other, a micro-level activism group for cooperation between different nationalities and ethnicities in the Middle East; and connected to Arava Institute (which, amongst others, had successfully challenged the IDF's blanket ban on student visas from Palestinian Territories), and the free-thinking Jewish National Fund.
Attempts at McCarthyite control (which Seeger had seen-off almost 60 years ago) ensued on a Facebook page set-up by one of Seeger's fans, including regular cuts 'n pastes from Jeff Halper of the Israeli Committee Against Home Demolition.
Any domestic action group against zoning violations and planning permission disputes is not to be discouraged, but as far as I could see, Halper is supportive of a all-level boycott against Israel to 'embarrass' her in ways not applied to any other country and its social structures.
Typical responses from the screamers-at-mice was that they would support any boycott if it were called for whichever disenfranchised group was being discussed. Quite apart from their guaranteed ignorance of the human plights in the named countries, it raises the question of how far this Yasmin Alibhai-Brown style moral purity test would go. Possibly leaving the only individuals and countries worthy of receiving international trade and cultural/academic exchange being themselves, Costa Rica, the Principality of Sealand and a mangy dog (until, that is, Sealand was expelled for its role in the guillemot genocide, and Costa Rica for the oppression of the macadamia nuts community).
Plus, if I am correct about Halper's position, he goes from ultimately good intentioned in my eyes to a malign influence in that he would avail himself of the comforts and benefits of living in Israel whilst ostracizing those who disobey him. As the Chancellor of Haifa University said to Ilan Pappe, perhaps he should boycott himself.
Alas, despite their best efforts to cling to an unmoderated and, until they arrived, unread Facebook fanpage, it all came to nowt, as the online concert with Seeger's performance went ahead on 14 November (as shown on the Facebook page for With Earth and Each Other).
Having failed to force Jethro Tull and LCD Soundsystem, they now have failed with Pete Seeger.
For the next time, Bohica.

I'm sorry I'm a little late on today's post, but I was hit with insomnia last night and I'm really dragging today. hopefully I'll actually make sense!
while chapter one is all about shaping and contrasts, chapter two plays with textures using stitch patterns.
the herringbone and chevron patterns in the pilatus hat and scarf set are set off by the use of two different yarns, grace wool and silk and a merino wool. the sheen of the silk really highlights the "crags" of the pattern.
the crosshatch top is knit with one of my favorite yarns, sublime cashmere merino silk dk. I love it as is, but I see this as another one of those pieces that you can really make your own. things I'm picturing: changing the length, moving the center stitch pattern higher up, and knitting the sleeves in a different style.
a fun layering piece that should be quick to knit, bubble bath is knit with kidsilk haze and large needles. I love the little flutter sleeves. it has just enough smocking to make it interesting, but not too much to drive you batty.
ice queen is form-fitting, slimming, and luxurious. it's knit with jo sharp alpaca silk georgette and features ribbing combined with a diagonal motif and an unexpected sleeve cutout. a total aside, this model kills me!
I would love to see this "corset" over a silk blouse. the slipped stitches add structure and there's elastic thread woven through the ribbing to keep everything in place.
I totally have to come clean and tell you why I named this hugo's sweater. during stef's first pregnancy, she swore up and down she was going to have a boy so we called the baby "hugo" (you'd have to ask her why!). of course, hugo turned out to be mazie (I won that bet) but I think she can still rock this sweater when she's a little older. it's a raglan (my little ode to stef) with both seed stitch and garter stitch on the yoke. I used pear tree 12 ply and 6mm needles for a quick and cozy knit. I still remember knitting knit it while I was in california a couple of summers ago, those big needles came in handy.

This summer, after receiving a generous $1,000 grant from the Pilgrim Association, I led a local youth mission trip. But the youth and I received more than just a donation; we received God's love through the work we did with each other, for the community.
If you had asked me on Tuesday, August 11 (the first day of the trip) if I would take on Local Youth Local Mission next year, you likely would have heard a resounding, unequivocal, emphatic 'no.' There were too many curve balls that were thrown at us during the process: losing the sleeping space, finding out there would be no showers, having difficulty getting chaperones, figuring out how to accommodate the constant changing of group numbers, and re-planning for new expectations at work sites. Some curve balls were of my own creation, due to my not-yet-fully developed organizational skills combined with my well-developed procrastination skills; but many of the challenges were out of my control.
But fielding curve balls can only make you a better catcher, right? Hopefully... By the grace of God.
Local Youth Local Mission is an urban mission experience, organized by a Pilgrim Association church and coordinated with City Mission of Boston. For several days and nights, the group of teens and their chaperones work at a variety of sites around the city doing everything from creating art work through a ministry of presence at Common Art to preparing and serving meals at Boston Rescue Mission to weeding the gardens in the Victory Program in Dorchester.
This year the chaperones and I brought 19 teens from five churches to First Church of Braintree, a church who graciously opened their very, very busy doors to us at the last minute when the facilities at Wollaston fell through. We squeezed into their church hall (one of them), eked out a few minutes of sleep and set about our week's work.
The days were long, and travel time was often an hour and half or more on either end or between sites. These sites were not places where we would get a tour and a brief lecture on the work done there. We worked. And we worked hard: weeding row after row of vegetables in the hot August sun; painting wall after wall (even the ones behind the toilets!) of an historic school in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the city; slicing case after case after case of cucumbers to help in preparing the over 3,000 meals that come out of the Pine Street Inn kitchen for agencies all over the city every day; and packaging meals, filling food pantry baskets, and peeling potatoes and carrots (in record time, we were told!). We worked hard. Really hard.
Yet in the end, the reflections the teens wrote told a moving story of eyes being opened to a world they knew little about -- to the enormity of the world's grief and to the many, many faces of homelessness, drug addiction, and domestic violence. But they also experienced the many faces of love and the many faces of God: Joy's, Coffie's, Ron's, Roy's, Joanne's, Allen's. In the candor of newly formed bonds, one young woman who said she doesn't believe in God, wrote of developing a new respect for Christianity and the positive, transformative power it can have in people's lives.
These teens were moved both by their interactions with the people we met on site as well as what they learned about themselves and each other. Could there be a better measure of success than that?
Which leads me to the next question: how can I not be a part of making this happen again next year?

Corneal abrasion and healing
March 8th, 2010
I suffered a corneal abrasion one week ago. My vision is still slightly blurred and lights are slightly streaked (astigmatism?). I can read and use the computer just fine, the blurring is not enough to keep me from doing that, but still noticeable. I look at a point light source, and I can see a slight streaking effect. The eye has no visible symptoms - no redness, no swelling, no puffiness, etc. It is tender and drys out easily, and I tend to keep it closed part of the time. My eye doctor (optometrist) examined me twice, put dye in the eye and used a slit lamp microscope thing. She said the eye was healing nicely, abrasions were healed over.
Is this normal to still have some discomfort and drying after a week? How long do these symptoms normally last? Do vision changes like this eventually go away? And lastly, how long should I wait before going back to my eye doctor if I'm still having discomfort or vision changes don't go away? (Or should I have seen an ophthalmologist instead?

Vision and Eye Disorders Answer A13585
Given the data you provided (corneal abrasion due to mechanical trauma one week ago, vision is still slightly blurred and lights are slightly streaked, eye is tender and dries out easily), you suffered a corneal abrasion that has not healed yet.
Corneal abrasion is an eye disorder in which mechanical trauma causes damage to the cornea. The part of the cornea that is affected is not smooth anymore. This causes disturbances in the refraction and the vision might be slightly changed. The eye is irritated and increased production of tears is usually present. It takes time for the cornea to heal. This takes usually up to one week, but in certain cases it might take longer to heal depending on the damage.
You might want to visit an ophthalmologist (which is preferred over an optometrist) if the vision is not improved within four weeks after the damage.

Here is a recipe for the last fish stock I made using sea bass. The ingredients I used are the ones I had on hand; keep in mind you can add any herb or flavorful vegetable to a stock. In this recipe, I used fennel trimmings because my fish stock was made to be used in a fennel puree but I could have used celery instead for example. Sometimes I even add it a glass of dry white wine, it gives it a great taste
Once you're done, there are plenty of uses for your homemade fish stock. You can use it to cook pasta or rice (when making a seafood risotto for example). It's also a great base for making a flavorful sauce for a fish or seafood. Don't be shy, experiment with it
Preparation time: 5 minutes – Cooking time: 30- 35 minutes
Ingredients (for 12 cups of stock)
1.1 lbs (500 g) of fish heads, bones and fins
16 cups (4 l) of water
1 thyme branch (or 3 tablespoons of dry thyme)
3 tablespoons of tarragon
2 tablespoons of parsley
2 tablespoons trimmings from a fennel bulb
2 tablespoons of chervil
1 bay leaf
2 shallots
1 carrot
1/ Rinse fish pieces and dip them in 3 cups of salted water so all the remaining blood gets out.
2/ Peel shallots and carrot. Cut them by half.
3/ Fill a casserole with 13 cups of water. Add all herbs, fennel trimmings, shallots and carrot and get to a boil.
4/ When water is boiling, add fish pieces and reduce heat. Leave covered for 20 to 25 minutes.
5/ Take fish, carrot and shallots out and filter passing your stock through a strainer.
That's it! Let it cool down and freeze or refrigerate (if you're going to use within a few days).

Seven Things A Five Year Old Boy Taught Me About Men
Some of the most valuable lessons I've learned about men have come from raising my five year old son. These are the top seven.
1. He's not going to change.
There may be some slight differences, but barring any major trauma, at their core, they are pretty much the same kind of man at 5 that they are going to be at 50. Their experiences shape how they might express or protect themselves. But a thoughtful, quiet boy will probably be a thoughtful, introspective man. And a rowdy boy will likely be a boisterous, energetic man. So if you think you're going to make him more outgoing, less rowdy, more talkative … it's not just going to be hard, it's going to be impossible.
2. He is happy when you are happy.
If you are around or on his mind, almost everything he does is for the purpose of making you proud or making you happy.
3. He wants to make a mark on the world and also break stuff.
If you aren't around, almost everything he does is simply to see what kind of effect his actions have on the world and most of these experiments result in either creating something or destroying something. He doesn't get too attached to the outcome (unless he is doing it for you, see #2) he just wants to see the outcome. The rest is just details.
4. He uses his body, not words, to express his feelings.
Sometimes he needs to be physically rough to sort out his thoughts or feelings. He doesn't want to talk it out, he wants to sweat it out. He actually might store his feelings in his muscle and need to shake them loose or pound them out to sort out what he wants to do or how he feels. Banging into something or someone in sports or pushing their muscles to the limits relaxes them and gives them clarity. Roughhousing, physical sports, falling, pushing himself too hard … these are necessary for balance. And when he's a grown man, he's going to want to have crazy sex from time to time, especially if he really likes you. Your body can handle it. Your body will probably like it too.
5. There are two things (non sexual) he really needs to be able to do with his favorite woman.
And he prefers to do it privately, when it's just the two of you. He doesn't really want you talking about it all the time, but if it's just you two, these are top of his list: snuggle and be silly.
6. He doesn't know how NOT to be protective of you.
You don't have to teach men to be protective of someone they love, they just are. My 5 year old 45 pound son tried to take on a 6'3″ 250 pound man.
7. They really do enjoy things that most girls find gross.
Stinky smells, dirty places, not bathing: these are all totally cool with boys. This is a good thing as far as men go because they will devour you sexually whether you are dirty, menstruating or sweaty and will love you in places you sometimes want to pretend don't exist, but this will make you feel completely adored.
