Take Home Trays

Zoom is a bleaching process widely used to lighten discoloration of enamel and dentin. Tooth discoloration may result from drinking coffee, tea, cola and red wine; or from smoking. The aging process also can stain and darken your teeth. The Zoom In-Office Tooth Whitening procedure uses the Zoom Advanced Power Chairside Lamp to activate the 25 percent hydrogen peroxide whitening. As the hydrogen peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin to bleach the stained substances, leaving the structure of the tooth unchanged.Read more about Zoom!

It's the amazing El Paso kids Martial Arts program everyone's raving about. Why? Because kids not only have FUN... they learn focus, self-defense, get healthy, and more. Click now to get the full scoop on this amazing class!
We're excited to share our passion for martial arts with you. Some people may think that our El Paso Martial Arts school might seem like all the rest… just another place to get fit and learn self-defense... but to us it's so much more.
As you start to get into the best shape of your life, some other "subtle" changes happen, as well. These changes are eye-opening to our new students. When you train in our programs, your life will change in some amazing, powerful ways!
Here are just a few of those life-changing benefits students experience…
One of the first things both children AND adults notice when training with us is a big boost in confidence. And it makes sense when you think about it.
After all, martial arts is challenging. Yet when you persevere in the face of challenge, and come out on top, you realize you're stronger and more capable than you thought.
Realizing that makes you feel more confident. You feel more sure of your ability to handle whatever other challenges life throws your way.
This goes for kids, too. Their confidence boosts quickly as well.
Since the techniques are new, they require your full attention. As you concentrate hard on listening to the instructor, following along with what they taught you, and then remembering what you learned when you get home...
...the intense concentration starts to naturally flow. It pours into all other areas of your life including work, school, and even other activities and sports you do for fun.
Adults are able to focus better at work, reaching goals easier while kids report doing better in school all around.
No matter what your starting level is, each one of our students improves from where they were when they walked into their first class - from total beginner to elite athletes. We strive to make sure every class is loaded with fun and challenging exercises that work your entire body.
You'll be so focused on performing techniques that some of the world's top martial artists do, and having so much FUN, that before you know it, the class is over, and you not only learned powerful martial arts...
... but you got a GREAT workout, too. Shazam! Being physically fit boosts energy, mental clarity, and confidence as well.
Many martial artists claim they always felt like an "outsider" before they found martial arts. Some of our students just never got into organized sports in school or felt that social clubs weren't for them.
But the same students that tell us how they "never fit in" or weren't popular seem to come alive and shine in our classes! We provide a safe, non-intimidating environment where we all want each other to succeed. We don't have bullies or students trying to outdo each other.
Everyone is super friendly and supportive. Both kids and adults make friends with the other members, which then makes our martial arts family flourish.
We provide the kind of environment that encourages friendship, motivation and success. It's something quite amazing to feel.
Ugh...fitness can be so boring! Luckily, we're working out like super-star martial artists. Learning to use our entire body to protect ourselves and our families. In our awesome classes you'll tighten up your core, gain lean muscle on your legs and arms, and have a blast.
No two workouts are ever the same and we DON'T use military style yelling or body shaming. After all we want you to have a ton of fun here, and keep coming back. Plus, our instructors know they'll get the best possible performance out of you when you're in a good mood. That's when we're at our best too!
Kids and adults both work hard, and play hard. Laughing and smiles are part of every class.
Check out the class menu and click on the program that's right for you. You'll learn more about it and have the chance to grab our amazing web special!

Its official! There is a cable park on the west coast...and it's OPEN! Western Oasis Wakeplace (WOW) is the new hoppin' Sesitec System 2.0 spot for water boarders to ride back and forth while hitting boxes, rails and jumps in between each turn-around.WOW is a family owned and operated park located just outside of Carson City, Nevada in a town called Minden. Right now there are four 2.0 cables and the plan is to get a full cable system in by next year. But those aren't the only plans around that place.My visit started from my short drive over from Reno at the WWA Nationals. Before I got there all I could think about was how cool it's going to feel to ride a cable with mountains around me. Being born and raised into wakeboarding around mountains, I was really exited to ride cable with such an epic backdrop. When I pulled up, I was really impressed with how everything looked and was put together. The rails looked super fun, the area was nice and open and there was even a boat lake! Can you smell that? Smells like a perfect site for some serious boat and rail contests to me.Right as I got out of my car I was welcomed by the mother of the Lippincott family, Lisa. Lisa was really nice to me right off the bat and pulled me right away on one of the 2.0's that had an option of an A-frame or a flat box. The features were very well built and fun to ride. I can definitely tell that Mr. Panakos was running around there for a while cause I can spot a Panakos rail from anywhere.For my next set I moved over to a different 2.0 where there was another flat box and a double-sided kicker that you can hit from both directions. The kicker had perfect tranny and the box was a good length. It was so nice to be able to hit a kicker going both directions and get picked up right away if you fall. It really makes you more motivated to try harder tricks knowing you don't have to unstrap and walk a mile around a lake to stand in a line for another 10 minutes before you can try the trick again.When I decided to call it quits, I got to hang out with the rest of the Lippincott family, father Doug and their son Ryan. They showed me all around their property and filled me in on all the ideas and future plans of the place. All I can say is that you guys are in for a treat! On my golf cart journey I got to take some pictures of the property and they even let me take their jet ski out to shoot some photos of their son Ryan shredding in his front yard.WOW is going to be open from May to October depending on the weather since its just a few miles from Lake Tahoe. During that time it will be open seven days a week from 10am to 6pm. They are also offering a 2010 summer camp with guest pro coaches. You can find out more information on that or anything else about WOW on their website at WOWWakePlace.com.I would definitely like to thank the Lippincott family for showing me a good time and helping the wake community and cable scene grow on the west coast.

text: Tens of thousands of Sadr supporters marched in Baghdad calling for an end to US presence in Iraq [Reuters] Moqtada al Sadr, a prominent Iraqi Shia cleric, has threatened to revive his Mehdi Army and relaunch armed resistance against continued US presence in the country. The threat came as tens of thousands of people marched across the capital Baghdad, marking the eighth anniversary of former leader Saddam Hussein's fall on Saturday. A spokesperson of al Sadr, said the US had until the end of the year to meet the cleric's demands. The Shia leader, returned to Iraq from a self-imposed exile following a strong showing by his bloc in the 2010 parliamentary election in January 2011. Al Jazeera correspondent Jane Arraf, reporting from Baghdad, said that this time Sadr had not only warned US troops but also the contractors. "The rally marks the start of new campaign by one of the most powerful political forces in Iraq and it must be remembered that the Shia leader had fought against the US army in 2004," she said. "The protests were also directed against the government for not providing jobs and basic services to the people." Shortly after the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, the Shia leader had spoken out against the Coalition Provisional Authority, led by Paul Bremer. He has continually criticised the US military presence in Iraq. Al-Sadr froze his militia in 2007, dramatically reducing violence in the country. His appeal to the poor and dispossessed accounts for much of his popularity, but some Iraqis support him as symbol of resistance against US presence.

Their Season is Over, (Maybe)
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been consistent in only one area this year. They play 'down' to their competition.
On Sunday they played the 4-8 Chargers. They had already lost games to the Oakland Raiders, the Tennessee Titans, and the Cleveland Browns. Sunday their defense couldn't get off the field on third down. They had virtually no pass rush. A backwards pass off a lineman gave the Chargers a touchdown. At the end of the third quarter, the Steelers forced San Diego into a "3 and out", and the Chargers faked the punt and got a first down.
In the first half, dropped passes by Antonio Brown and Mike Wallace took away scoring opportunities and gave them to San Diego. The Steelers are one of the worst teams in the league at creating turnovers, and on Sunday they continued the streak at zero. The end of it all came with 10:26 left in the game when "Big Ben" threw an interception close to his own end zone. On the first play Rivers threw another touchdown pass, making the score 10-34.
When a team shows as much lack of motivation as did the Steelers Sunday, I blame the coaching staff. Coach Tomlin needs to demand more from LeBeau and Haley, as well as himself.
With this loss, the Steelers may have put themselves out of the playoffs, unless they get extremely lucky. Final score 24-34.
If they play true to form, they'll get a win over Dallas and Cincinnati, but lose to Cleveland. The only player who played well was "Big Ben", who had missed three games with a shoulder and rib injury. Offense, defense, and special teams played poorly and committed ignorant penalties.
The reason I said 'maybe', is because of what happened to the other two playoff contenders in their own division. Cincinnati lost to Dallas at home with 4 seconds remaining, and Washington won over Baltimore in overtime.
As Chris Berman always said: "That's why they play the games."

3D bio-printing: A medical revolution?
As medicine advances, technology is playing an ever-increasing role. The development of CT and MRI scanners to see inside patients, pacemakers to keep hearts beating, and prosthetic limbs that interact with the nervous system, have proved how valuable technology can be for our health. Has technology got our backs again, this time with an organ transplant crisis?
There is a severe need for new organs for transplantation around the world. In the last decade, nearly 49,000 people have had to wait for a life-saving organ transplant, in the UK alone. Of those, over 6,000 people have died whilst waiting – all possibly preventable if organs had been available. The issue is, with an ageing population and a safer environment, there are fewer organs available for transplant, and more organ failures requiring a transplant. The vast majority of the demand is for kidneys, with over 5,400 on the current UK waiting list.
Bio-printing of tissues is not exactly new – it has been around since the early 2000s when it was discovered that cells could be sprayed out of printer nozzles without being damaged. Today, the most common method of bio-printing is by using a scaffold of printed biomaterial, which can be made of synthetic and natural polymers and usually dissolves over time. This scaffold can form the main shape of the organ or structure required, from computer modelling and 3D scans. Meanwhile, cells from a human are removed, separated, grown outside the body, and then coated onto the scaffold
structure. The scaffold, complete with living cells, can then be incubated and the cells take the form of the scaffold as it degrades.

...our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness...We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus, and nonbelievers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth. And because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.
excerpt from inaugural address 20 january 2009
the rest of my photos from inauguration day (or should I say selected photos). don't know if you can see it but there's a little dot on the field of yellow on the map - that is where I was standing on tuesday.
hint: in case you don't know, after you hit play on the slide show, there is a little square with four arrows at the bottom right corner of the flickr show, it comes up when you run the cursor over the area, click on that and you can enlarge the slide show and also get the captions (you will need to run the cursor over the top for that and click show info) - hope that makes sense.
cellphone photographer..... this stance is well just so today....
update 10 am: as I just finished emailing the picture above to the woman in this picture (after showing her the pic I snapped I said I'd be happy to send it to her - and she gave me her card) well, I just checked out the website on her card and learned that she is an artist (among other things) who does wonderful work. if you would like to check out her work go here - who knows maybe there is a patron or two or ten or twenty among mouse readers! by the way, the hand painted obama shirts are AWESOME!

Listen, do you want to know a secret?
Newcastle United have applied to take part in next season's Intertoto Cup.
And do you want to know another secret?
They are the only team from the Premiership to do so.
Yes, the same Newcastle United who came within a whisker of going through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
And the same side who many people still see as candidates to pip Arsenal for the Premiership title this season.
United would be distraught if they did not finish in the top four and go through to another adventure in the Champions League.
And Freddy Shepherd and Sir Bobby would surely commit hara-kari if United at the very worst did not qualify for the UEFA Cup.
But you have got to admire the club's top brass for taking no chances and applying for the Intertoto.
The chairman wasn't the most popular guy in the summer of 2000 when he decided the Magpies were going to enter the Intertoto Cup and some of the players were called back early from their holidays to do so.
United have not looked back since they tried their luck in the Intertoto.
However, I still hope the Tynesiders never have to play in it again.

About an hour-and-a-half ago, my mother-in-law, two boys and myself were eating yogurt after I picked them up from school. You know, one of those yogurt places where you squirt in your own yogurt into a gigantic tub and load toppings on it with a backhoe, put it on a scale and then pay for it with your left kidney? One of those places. We situated ourselves under a large oak tree and enjoyed our mixture of yogurts that aren't really supposed to go together, Fruity Pebbles, nuts, fruit, chewy balls, coconut, gummy bears, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and a malted milk ball. We didn't have all of those things together. Actually, my 5-year-old probably did.
We were there.
And eating.
I think I was telling my mother-in-law that my son really, really loves playing in dirt. He likes lots of other things, too, like LEGOs and Star Wars, but he is really tight with dirt.
So, I was watching him and talking about him and talking to him and telling his brother not to shake up my bottle of Diet Coke, for goodness sakes.
And I felt it.
"Ouch! An acorn just landed on my head! Ha! An acorn!"
"It did, Mom?"
"Yeah, just PLOP, right on my head."
I looked all around at the acorns on the ground and wondered if anyone else had gotten knocked upside the head with it like I had.
"Okay, let's go. We need to get going."
"One more minute, Mom."
"Ten more minutes."
"No, five."
"Okay, five."
So, we stayed for ten more.
On our way home, we stopped at an old German cemetery really close to our house. There are a lot of German cemeteries near our house. My grandmother grew up close to this area and knew about half of those people probably. My great-great-grandmother probably knew them all, except that one guy in the left-hand corner.
"Do people die every day, Mom?"
"Yes, dude."
"Were people riding in wagons when this man got dead?"
"Probably so, dude."
And, so it went.
(We like really old cemeteries. My 8-year-old really does. Every elementary school around here was represented in that place.)
I was inspired to call my grandmother. She is a "full-blooded German", you know. She spoke only German until she was in Kindergarten. I liked asking her about the last names. She liked telling me about them. Then, she liked telling me about this. And about that. And about this. And about that.
Which, I love.
Of course.
We talked as I drove home. We talked as I pulled into the driveway. We talked as I put laundry away. We talked as my husband drove up in the driveway. We talked as I saw him walk up towards me. We talked as…
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Really? Get it out! Get it out!"
"It's bird poop.You need to take a shower."
But, I was still talking.
"I've got bird poop in my hair," I told my grandmother.
"Bird poop? Yeah, you need to wash that out."
Yet, we kept talking.
For a while.
Which, I love.
Of course.
We talked about shorthand, John Kerry, Obama, Clinton, weddings, spelling, genetics, my great-grandmother, her sister, football, the boys' school, my stuff, her stuff, Dr. Dobson, American kids and TV, reading books, magazine hoarding and shorthand again.
"Well, I need to let you go. I've got this bird poop."
"Yeah, you need to wash that out."
"Yes, now that I know it wasn't an acorn, I can feel it in my hair. It's just sitting there."
"You're really worried about that bird poop, huh?"
"Well, I don't like bird poop in my hair."
"Oh, Kelley."
So, we kept talking.
And talked some more.
Which I love.
But…BIRD POOP.
Want to know the truth?
I have been multi-tasking. I am writing this post as I am talking to my grandmother. I can do two things at once. I'm listening. I'm responding. Yet…I'm typing.
But, guess what I'm not doing?

I love that movie Gladiator. Have you ever seen it?
It's set in ancient Rome around the time that Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the great stoic philosopher was in power.
I think it's really cool because it's about a guy who just wants to be a farmer, and hang out with his wife and kids, but he can't because he has this very special skill set.
His name is Maximus, and he is a great soldier and leader of men. So of course the Emperor needs him to command his Army. Keep in mind, Maximus has been away from his family for 3 years…
I remember this one point in the movie, he turned to his assistant Cicero and asked him if he found it hard to do his duty.
Cicero looks at him and said:
The 10 Rules of Bohemian Marketing
As I write this, I am listening to the Dandy Warhols play Bohemian Like You. Are you familiar? Better go put it on if you're going to read this.
Let's rock…
What does it mean to be Bohemian?
Bohemian – a person who has informal and unconventional social habits, especially an artist or writer.
Is that you?
If you want to be successful in this online space where Barbarians slay Dragons and Wizard pull bags of gold out of thin fucking air…
…it better be.
Case in point…
"Cloud Money: A White Trash Guide to Producing Wealth on the Internet"
It's a product about creating and selling digital assets.
I launched it for 4 days.
That "White Trash" thing got a lot of people talking. Some good, some bad, but a lot of energy.
And when the dust settled 4 days later Cloud Money, my funny little course with the politically incorrect name had generated $10,426.67.
Thanks haters.
RULE 1: Be Polarizing
Your own, fully hosted, 100% FREE
email list building web-funnel…
it's called the DualSqueeze funnel strategy.
But this isn't just ANY funnel.
It's part of a free system that
gets OTHER PEOPLE to build your
email list FOR you…
Completely hands free. And won't
cost you a dime.
That's all I got! ENjoy the easy list building!
Literally, you can write a 10,000 word epic blog post that solved world hunger and teaches people how to make a million dollars at the same time…
…and the only comment you got was "Aksherinkah" who apparently wants to talk about…soap?
…and wordpress kind of thought that was spam so they didn't even let her through…
…they were right.
I came up with an idea for my product. A concept if you will. In my niche, there is a company called clickfunnels which is very popular among marketers. They have a lot of brand awareness and they have a strong affiliate program which drives that awareness.
The problem with clickfunnels? It's fairly expensive as far as monthly expense is concerned. At $99 a month, All the newbies know about them because of their great brand awareness but none of the newbies can really afford clickfunnels from a business standpoint because they have no idea what they are doing yet. If they can afford it it's because they are spending out of pocket which is not conducive for a great business.
SO I decided I would target this "can't afford clickfunnels" demographic who knew the power of a funnel (thanks clickfunnels) but couldn't afford that all in one solution. I wanted to show them how to build an entire functioning sales funnel that would make them money. And I wanted to show them how to set it all up for free.
I decided I would make the product video because I can produce the videos quickly. Much quicker than writing and people perceive the video presentation as having a higher value than a special report.
I'm just wondering if your sick of being hustled yet?
See that's all I ever hear about when I connect with people on facebook.
They are sick of having to buy all these upsells, and they hate getting lost in these giant sales funnels…
Well…newsflash princess…
Those giant sales funnels account for over half those marketers revenue.
And the only way to get those marketers to stop upselling you and giving you garbage on the front end is by showing them that you can handle another way.
See I've been saying to everybody that my new product Affiliate Command 2017 is "customer-centric."
But you know that's really just a nice way of saying…
I recently read a fantastic article over on horkeyhandbook.com by Mickey Gast called " How to Get Started with Affiliate Marketing." I thought the article was really relevant heading into 2017 here and it was worthy of your time and attention. I was inspired buy Mickey's article to do this small infographic that sort of summarizes some of the info in the article.
Hope it helps!
It was called "How to Easily Shorten and Track Affiliate Links." For a lot of people that are first getting into affiliate marketing, this is something they overlook. I promise you however, that you most definitely want to be tracking your affiliate links. The fact of the matter is, you only have so much energy. You need to know what you are doing that is effective and what you are doing that is not effective. Knowing where your traffic and sales are coming from are a big part of that.
I created this simple summary infographic based on the original work of Melissa. Hope it helps! -Kam

I run for my mental health and for the love of food!
On a good week, I'd run about 10 miles, three of which are over a very steep bridge, because I am clearly insane. I pay good money to participate in runs all over the Low Country (Charleston, SC) because it's a 'fun' thing to do. I spend even more money to buy good running shoes, trendy running clothing and gear. It helps me when I look cute while running in public. Running is expensive!
And it hurts!! Around mile two, I start to feel pain in…well, everything! There's chafing, blisters, a ton of sweat, and sometimes blood involved in what I call exercise. My legs burn, my lungs can't get enough Oxygen, and mentally I'm just like 'why do you do this to yourself?!' Sometimes after I run that bridge I mentioned before, I can barely walk the next day. I am 36 years old now! Just walking these days causes aches and pains. When I run, it feels like my whole body is under attack, and if I just stopped, all the pain will end. But I don't. Well, sometimes I do, but 92% of the time I don't.
Because I'm crazy.
There are plenty of reasons to be a runner/jogger. Some people do it to stay fit, sleek and sexy, while others do it to get to their dream body. Some do it because it's their job. Some do it because they genuinely like it. Some are being chased.
I do it because I have a mental condition. I run to self-medicate.
I live a high-stress, super busy, always-running-from-one-thing-to-the-next type of adulthood. It's really hard to keep going sometimes. It's hard to remember everything too. I tried forming the habit of writing everything down, only to forget where I left the list, so I gave that up. I'm an over-thinker which is probably the reason I can't remember things. It seems that my brain doesn't have a energy-conserve mode like when your iPhone battery is at 20%. It's the Energizer bunny of brains. On top of being stressed, way too "thinky", and forgetful, I'm a mom. I feel like my son is the CEO, and I'm merely his over-worked assistant some days (think Sandra Bullock in Two Weeks Notice). It's all pretty normal really…right?? I am clinging to sanity with white knuckles!!
What's not normal is my obsession with food. Man, I can eat!! No dainty side salads for me!! I can polish off a 16-ounce inch-thick ribeye steak with a grandmother's-big-spoonful of mashed potatoes and cream corn, dinner rolls, and a sweet tea to go with that dainty side salad; then go to the movies and get a popcorn and candy! I'm a skinny woman with the appetite of a sumo wrestler. Eating what I want, when I want happens daily in my life. I'm sure I would feel much more guilty about if I didn't run.
All in all, I'm a crazy, food-obsessed, single, working mom, who is forced to not develop any negative/bad/illegal habits. And I don't like alcohol, so I run.
As awful as running is sometimes, the fact is that the benefits far outweigh the pain to my body and bank account. Life is about trade offs right?
Running clears my head in the best way possible. It's really hard to think of what makes you mad or sad when your legs feel like they're on fire. It's hard to focus on the fight you had with someone when all you hear is the pounding of your heart in your ears. It's hard to over-think what a certain text really means when you're focused on your cadence. Running is the only time my brain doesn't work so hard. It eliminates negative thinking. And since I've learned to run without music, I have gotten even better at realizing just how much running hurts. The pain sets me free.
Yeah, that was cheesy, but it really does!!
In all seriousness though, I just feel better about everything in life after a good run. My body may hurt and I may be exhausted after a long run, but I feel mentally and physically stronger. It's a break from my busy life and everything involved in it. I find that I attack problems and issues with more logic and clarity after putting feet to pavement. The runs I participate in raise money and awareness for some awesome causes. That's a happy side effect. Other happy side effects include better sleep, a healthier heart, more focus, increased mental stamina, and an all around mood boost in general.
Also, I eat everything in site. Yes, I'm skinny, but my body is just another happy side effect. Trust me, if you ate the way I do, you would need a regular exercise regimen too!! I should be a thousand million pounds, but I'm not because I have a mental condition and running is the only treatment. The only legal one anyway. 😉
If you're a runner, tell me what running does for you?

Kurama Trail is a 6.3 kilometer moderately trafficked point-to-point trail located near Kyoto, Kyoto, Japan that features hot springs and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and bird watching and is accessible year-round.
kid friendly
nature trips
bird watching
hot springs
The Kurama/Kibune area has become a popular destination for visitors to Kyoto. Set in the northern mountains, less than 1-hour from the city centre, this little rural village has a lot to offer for those wanting to discover & experience most aspects that make-up Japan's scenery, history and tradition. As you board the "Eizan" train at Demachiyagi station, you will be taken through the northern suburbs of Kyoto, and, before long, you will enter the forests and mountains of Kurama ( the area is home to some giant Cedar, Maple and Wisteria trees ). The history of the Kurama area dates-back to when the Kurama Temple was founded in 770, by a Monk from Nara's Toushoudai-ji, who was led to an area below the summit by a white horse.After seeing a vision of the deity Bishamon-ten, guardian of the northern quarter of the Buddhist heaven, he established Kurama-dera on that site. The original buildings, however, have been repeatedly destroyed by fire, and the Main Hall was last rebuilt in 1971. There are many festivals held in the area throughout the year, at Yuki-Jinja for example, you can experience "Kurama Hi Matsuri" (Fire Festival), held annually on October 22nd. Traditionally, at the end of a days hiking, the Japanese like to soak-away their aches and pains with a visit to an "Onsen" (Natural Hot Spring) or "Ryokan" (Japanese style Inn).Located at the upper-end of Kurama (turn left at the "Sanmon Gate"), is the "Kurama Onsen". The onsen is part of the Ryoken, and, for 2,500-yen per-person, you have full access to all the facilities the Inn has to offer. Most guides will have you commencing your hike at Kurama station, and, after your ascent of Kurama-yama, will descend into Kibune, finishing at the Kibune-guchi station. If you are not interested in the onsen, or just want to visit the area around Kurama, alight/catch the train at Kurama station.This hike/guide is in reverse, as you may want to soak-away those aches and pains, after your days hike in the Kurama onsen. After alighting your train at Kibuni-guchi station,you have a 2km walk through the forest to Kibune. Before you commence your ascent to Kurama-yama,visit the Kibune-jinja (open from 6am to 8pm, with free admittance)and take-in the many restaurants with "Yuka" (dining platforms) over the Kibune-gawa.After crossing the picturesque bridge, you begin your ascent. The trail can be steep and narrow in places, so please be careful, especially in winter.Watch-out for the many twisted branches of the ancient Fuji trees.As you pass-along the plateau, you will experience some sub-temples and spring-water outlets along the way. Also in the area is the "Kinone-sandou", a clearing covered with the tangled, exposed roots of old Sugi trees. Soon you will reach Kurama-dera. Your descent from here will take you past Yuki-jinja (mentioned earlier) onto the "Sanmon Gate". Turn left here to go to the Kurama onsen, or right, via the souvenir shops, to the Kurama Station. Don't forget to have your photo taken with the "Tengu" at the station.
This hike is amazing, once you actually find the entrance. The GPS coordinates are off so beware. I would start at the main location in the town. Don't follow what All Trails has it linked too.
Beautiful mossy forest, can't recommend this trail highly enough
Anthony Rosen recorded Kurama Trail
I think this is better starting from Karuma. The temple is better experience from bottom to top.
Cyber Yoda recorded Kurama Trail
This was a decent hike. Lots of scenery. It is heavily trafficked. Great if you like to meditate. If you start from kibuneguchi station sugges you take the bus close by. You can follow the people. This saves you 1.5 miles going uphill and nothing to see as you hike alongside a road. Beware of leaches as I got 2 on my feet. Of course it was raining. We elected to take the cable car down which is about 200 yen per person for adults
Meagan M.
Sadly, it's closed right now (Dec 2018) because of downed trees after a typhoon... But I ended up taking the train from Kibune to Kurama, and the towns, shrines and the hot springs were all great!
Kurama trail done the reverse way as this path shows. Starting in the steep stairs of the temple, this is where most of the photos should be taken. It's first going up and then down. The reverse path is easier than the one this guide shows. Both starting and finishing areas are kind of expensive, so prepare food on advance. There is no water between Kurama temple and the kaiseki restaurants near Kibuneguchi. However, at the entrance of the path you can get wooden walking staffs which help a lot. Landscape is beautiful, specially nice so close from Kioto, but nothing spectacular.
Beautiful well maintained trail between Kibune and Kurama. Good inclines and declines. We walked it with backpacks but we saw ladies in dresses on the trail. Gorgeous area!
My wife and I did the Kurama Hike this morning. We started at 9 am. We reached the Kurama Temple , the birthplace of the Reiki practice. There are lots of stairs and cedar trees throughout the trail. It took us 1 hour to the top and 1 hr down. I did stop a few times to take pics and vids w/ my GoPro 5 and smartphone. Fun and amazing. You will embrace the Japanese spirit and culture.
福世 下.
Green leaves were so beatiful. Sound from Kibune River was comfortable.

Jind (Haryana), Aug 16 :
Senior Congress leader Birender Singh, who was suspended from the party this week, Saturday joined the BJP in the presence of BJP president Amit Shah and other senior party leaders of Haryana at a rally here.
Birender Singh, the grandson of well known farmers' rights leader Sir Chhotu Ram, is a towering Jat leader in Haryana. His joining the Bharatiya Janata Party will give a boost to the party among the dominant Jat community.
Singh, a former general secretary of the All-India Congress Committee (AICC), aspired to become Haryana chief minister but the Congress high command did not oblige him.
He was likely to join the UPA government in 2013 but his name was scuttled at the last moment, apparently under pressure from Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda's camp.
A sitting Rajya Sabha member from Haryana, Singh was upset with the Congress leadership for the past two years and was openly critical of the Haryana chief minister. Both leaders are also related.
Singh remained associated with the Congress for over four decades.
A member of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) till recently before being expelled from the body, Singh had met Amit Shah in New Delhi ahead of Haryana's forthcoming assembly polls.
The 'Haryana Nirman Rally' was organised by Birender Singh here Saturday as a show of strength for the upcoming assembly polls.
BJP president Amit Shah, state BJP president Ram Bilas Sharma and other senior BJP leaders attended the rally.
"We have to end the Congress misrule in Haryana. People have to ensure that the BJP wins a majority on its own," Shah said while addressing the rally.
Reacting to Birender Singh joining the BJP, Haryana Congress president Ashok Tanwar said this will not affect the Congress.
"Many people run away from parties just before elections. The BJP has no base in Haryana. So they are welcoming all such runaway leaders," Tanwar said.
Haryana has 10 Lok Sabha seats. The BJP won seven of them in the recent parliamentary polls.
The 90-member Haryana assembly goes to polls by October this year.

» » Sophie and Jenny Part 1 « «
Sophie and JennySophie and Jenny were the best of friends they had been close since they were 2 years old they were now both 18 and in the same college. Recently they had not seen much of each other, even though they lived in the same flat. They had both been sitting exams and finishing coursework for the tight deadlines they both had so the majority of the time they had been in the library or classrooms. But, exams were nearly over and they both planned to go out and celebrate, just one more week. Sophies last exam was on Tuesday morning and Jennys' was Wednesday afternoon. They planned to go out on Thursday night and really let their hair down. Sophie woke up early on Tuesday morning, she had been tossing and turning most of the night thinking about her exam. It was only 6am but Sophie had already drunk about 5 cups of coffee as well as a glass of orange juice when she had her breakfast. Sophie was doing some last minute revision and trying to concentrate between toilet breaks, she couldn't wait for the exam to be over. The exam was due to start at 10 am it was now 9 and Sophie needed to get ready she went to her room and put on her tight blue jeans and a white top that showed off her pierced belly button. She checked that she had everything and set off to the exam hall. When she arrived she went to the toilet yet again then went to find her seat. The exam was only 5 minutes away and was due to last 1 hour. Sophie checked her equipment again, she was going through her revision notes in her head trying to remember everything. The tutors were now handing out the papers and they were given their instructions. 'Right everybody, the exam will start in a few minutes. It will last one hour and there are no bathroom breaks permitted.' As soon as the bathroom was mentioned Sophie suddenly needed to go, it was ok she could hold on for an hour. 'Right, best of luck, you may begin' Sophie turned over her paper and began. The revision was paying off, Sophie was flying through the exam every answer to every question just seemed to pop straight into her head. In little more than 40 minutes she had completed the paper and checked it through, feeling very relieved she was now a little more desperate for the toilet. She raised her hand. She asked one of the tutors if she could leave, but she was refused she would have to wait until the end then she could leave. It was only 20 minutes so she thought she could wait. Sophie sat in her seat and watched the minutes tick away. She noticed other girls shifting about in their seats they must have needed the toilet as well. The situation was now desperate, Sophie cursed herself for drinking so much. Finally the exam was over Sophie couldn't wait to get out of the place. They were being dismissed row by row, from the front first, Sophie was on the fifth to last row. Finally they said she could go, she ran out of the hall and straight into a huge queue for the ladies toilet. Sophie was desperate very desperate she really couldn't wait much longer. Sophie thought about her situation, her flat was just a few minutes down the road, she decided to run home. She ran as fast as she could trying to get her keys ready on the way. She dropped her bag outside the front door and fiddled to get the right key ready, she felt herself losing control, the key was in and Sophie ran to the bathroom door. . ...it was LOCKED! Jenny had decided to take a shower, Sophie felt so defeated and banged on the door for Jenny to hurry up as she was about to wet herself. 'I'll be one minute just getting out' Sophie was now hoping from one foot to the other grabbing at herself trying desperately to hold on. She heard the shower stop, another dribble made its way into her cotton knickers. 'Please Jenny hurry!' Sophie was about to wet herself, the pain was unbearable, another spurt, Sophie was on the verge of tears, she was now doubled over and trying with all her might to hold on. She wasn't going to make it she couldn't move her pussy was tingling she couldn't feel it anymore, was she holding on, she couldn't tell. Jenny opened the bathroom door to see Sophie doubled over wetting herself. Steph was crying she was wetting totally beyond her control, her bladder was emptying and she couldn't do a thing about it. 'Jenny I just couldn't hold it any longer' Sophie was distraught. 'Sophie don't worry about it just get cleaned up' Sophie dripped her way into the bathroom and turned the shower on, she assessed the damage. She couldn't believe that she had just wet herself she hadn't done that since she was 12 and that was because Jenny had tickled her so much. Sophie stripped off and jumped into the shower it felt so good to be clean. During her shower she was thinking of the exam and hoe she had done she was nervous about getting the results and they were not due for another 2 months. She finished her shower and went to get dressed. Jenny suggested that they both go to the cinema as she was sick of revising, it was just what Sophie needed to wind down. They both decided to go and see the next showing of, National Treasure, noticing it started in a few hours. They left the flat and got the bus to the Odeon cinema. Sophie had forgotten about her awful morning and laughed and joked with Jenny. They purchased their tickets and went to the sweet counter; they ordered a huge bucket of popcorn between them and a litre cup of Coca-Cola each. They took their seats and watched the trailers, why do they always have so many trailers on Sophie thought. The film finally got under way. About half way through Sophie felt that she needed to use the toilet but the feeling quickly went away. She carried on drinking her coke and watched the end of the film. The film ended and they both waited for everyone to leave before getting up. As she stood up, Sophie, felt cold, her trousers were cold, she looked down, they were WET! Oh no she thought. Jenny heard her gasp and turned around to see Sophie standing there with very wet trousers. 'When did that happen?' Jenny was confused. 'I..I..Don't know. I didn't even know that I had to go' Sophie was frightened. 'Let's go. You need to get home and change' Jenny knew that she needed to get Sophie home quickly so that she would feel better. The girls hurried through the cinema and to the bus stop, the bus ride was uncomfortable for Sophie she was sitting in her urine soaked pants just like any toddler would. Three stops into the journey Sophie felt her leg get warm, to her horror she realised that she was wetting herself again. Sophie didn't mention it to Jenny and just began to think about what was going on. Finally they were at their stop, they both got off and went to the flat, when she got there Sophie stripped down again and got a long shower, all the time thinking of what had happened. After much consideration she decided that she must have over stretched her bladder earlier in the morning and it was just taking its time to get back to normal. She decided to just go to the toilet every hour and make sure that she didn't drink a lot. Jenny was busy revising when Sophie got out of the shower, she had decided to not mention anything to Sophie unless she wanted to talk about it. The night passed uneventful with Sophie up and down to the toilet without another wetting, Sophie felt better and even had a couple of glasses of wine with Jenny after she had finished revising. At they both retired to their rooms and Sophie was glad to get to bed having been up since the previous morning. Sophie got into bed and was asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow. Sophie slept like a baby. She woke at and realised that she really had slept like a baby, to her horror her bed was wet not just wet but soaked. Sophie couldn't believe it she was wetting herself like a complete baby she needed to see her doctor, but first she had to get herself cleaned up again. She stripped her bed down and left it bare to let the mattress dry off. She got a shower and then phoned her doctor and made an emergency appointment for later that day, to be exact. Sophie decided to just keep going to the toilet every hour again like she had done the previous night. Jenny had already left that morning she wanted to get some more revision in before her exam that afternoon. She sent Sophie a text asking how she was and Sophie told her about the wet bed and her doctors' appointment later that day. Jenny wished her well and got back to her revision. Sophie was successfully keeping herself dry; she was going to the toilet every hour and not drinking as much as she usually did. At she got herself ready for the doctors appointment she went to the toilet and set off. When she arrived at the surgery she noticed that it was pretty much empty just her and a little boy with his mother. Sophie took a seat and knew that since there were 2 doctors on she would be seen soon. 20 minutes passed and Sophie was still sitting there so she decided to ask the receptionist what was taking so long. The receptionist told her that the other doctor had been called away to one of his elderly patients and she would be seen by the remaining doctor as soon as he could. Sophie went and sat back down, as she did the tannoy called out for the boy and his mother to see Dr. James in her office. Sophie knew it wouldn't be long now. Sophie was sitting there reading the posters and booklets when she felt her crotch get warm again. Oh no not her she couldn't be, she looked down and saw the puddle on the floor. Sophie felt utterly humiliated and buried her head in her hands, just then the practice nurse was walking in from her lunch when she saw Sophie. 'Are you ok my dear?' The nurse spoke in a soft and friendly tone of voice. 'I've had an accident, sniff, I'm so sorry, sniff, I didn't mean to' 'No need to worry dear, come with me and we will get you cleaned up' The nurse helped Sophie to her feet and took her to the nurses office she told her to take off her trousers and that there were some moist wipes in the corner. Whilst Sophie was cleaning up the nurse fetched the doctor and they both came to see Sophie. 'Hi Sophie, I'm Dr. James, I believe you have had some trouble. Is this what you wanted to see me about?' Sophie told the doctor everything hoe she started to wet herself and her bed and how she couldn't feel it. The doctor ran some quick tests and asked Sophie some questions. 'Well I think it is stress. You should get over it, but I want to see you every week so I can keep my eye on you' The doctor went on to explain that there was nothing that she could give Sophie and suggested that she wear some protection for the time being. 'What do you mean by protection?' Sophie was hoping that the doctor didn't say what she thought she was going to say. 'Well Sophie, I think you would be better wearing some adult nappies until this thing blows over' Sophie couldn't believe it, she really meant it. A nappy an 18 year old girl should not need to wear a nappy. 'I can't wear a nappy, there must be another way' Sophie was searching her mind for another way. 'I'm sorry, but I think it is best. Nurse Cook here will help you out.' With that the doctor left and the nurse asked Sophie if she had any spare pants with her. Sophie said that she hadn't and the nurse said that she could borrow a pair of hers until she came to the surgery next week. The nurse then proceeded to ask if Sophie knew how to put a nappy on herself, of course Sophie knew nothing of how she might do it. The nurse then asked Sophie to lie down on the bed and she would put her in a nappy. Sophie lay down and watched as the nurse put her in her first nappy since she was 8. The nurse was telling Sophie how to change herself but Sophie was in a world of her own in complete shock. The nurse put Sophies wet pants in a bag and slipped in a couple more nappies. 'You should get more nappies from here.' The nurse handed Sophie a piece of paper with a shop name and address on it. 'Thank you.' Sophie was still very much in shock as she got the trousers the nurse had leant her on and walked out of the surgery. Sophie could hear every step she took by the loud rustle in her pants. She felt as if everyone on the street was looking at her and knew that she was wearing a nappy. She walked to the bus-stop glad that she could stop and be noise free. The bus didn't take long to come and soon Sophie was getting off at her stop, nearly home, she felt so relieved. Sophie reached her front door and got out her keys. 'Sophie, how did it go?' The sudden voice made Sophie jump. 'Calm down girl it's only me.' Sophie was relieved to find Jenny at the door as well. 'I'll tell you inside.' Sophie opened the door and she and Jenny walked in. Sophie told Jenny all about the doctors appointment, the accident in the waiting room and what the doctor had said. Jenny was taken aback she thought Sophie was joking about the nappies, Sophie lifted up her shirt to show Jenny the waistband of her new underwear. Jenny didn't know what to say, she just looked into Sophies deep blue eyes seeing a look of sheer fright in her friends eyes. Sophie needed Jenny to say something, something accepting. 'Well what do you want me to say Sophie?' Sophie looked up 'You wet yourself yesterday, wet the bed last night and now here you are standing there showing off your brand new nappy' Sophie began to cry. 'And the most important thing is. . .I still love you!' Jenny looked at Sophie. Sophie broke out the biggest smile ever, her friend had accepted her, she was still crying but this time they were tears of supreme joy. 'Thanks Jen you are a true friend' 'Well I suppose you don't wanna go out tonight now then?' 'Not in my nappy no' 'Well then let's stay in and get a few bottles of wine and watch a film' Sophie agreed and asked if Jenny would go and get the wine whiles she got changed. Sophie gave Jenny �10 and told her to get about 4 bottles as she really needed to get drunk. With Jenny down the shops Sophie began to get cleaned up, she went to get another shower and noticed that her nappy was very wet, she hadn't noticed a thing. Sophie was starting to get really worried, she must have wet her nappy about 5 times and hadn't noticed a thing. It felt so good to Sophie to be clean again. She got out of the shower and went to her room, she let her towel drop to the floor and went to find something to wear in her wardrobe, going through her casual draw she heard something dripping onto her carpet, she looked down, it was her, she was wetting herself in the middle of her room and she couldn't feel a thing. Sophie watched as the flow stopped and began to cry again, she felt so helpless and just like a little baby. After a few minutes Sophie got herself together, picked out some baggy jog pants and a t-shirt, got a nappy out and proceeded to get dressed. Sophie had some difficulty with her nappy but eventually managed to get it on, she dressed and then cleaned up her carpet. Sophie was putting her clothes into the washing machine when Jenny walked in with the evenings relaxation, Jenny playfully swatted Sophies bum, they both laughed. 'What did you get then?' 'Well I got us a horror film, a comedy and a soppy one. Which do you want?' 'I've done enough crying today so lets watch the comedy' Jenny got out the wine glasses and they both went to the living room. They settled on the settee together like they normally did when the watched a film and opened up the wine. A few hours later after the film and 2 of the 4 bottles of wine they were both very drunk, Sophie was getting very aware of the nappy between her legs sagging a little. 'Jenny I think I need to change my nappy. I'll be back in a minute.' Sophie got up and went to her room, she shut the door over and took her pants down, her nappy was very wet indeed and Sophie still had no feeling of the wettings. Sophie took out another dry nappy and being a little drunker than earlier she really couldn't get the nappy on properly every time she tried she just couldn't seem to be able to do it, she needed Jennys help. 'Jenny, can you come here and help me please' Jenny came into Sophies room and saw her lying on her bed struggling to get her nappy on. Jenny got down to business and felt sorry for Sophie for what she was going through. Sophie was feeling embarrassed about being changed by her best friend. 'Jenny, I'm really sorry we couldn't go out tonight and for you having to change my nappy, I feel like such a baby' Sophies eyes were welling up. 'Hey don't worry about. It's not your fault, come here.' Jenny motioned for Sophie to come get a hug. They hugged and Jenny was telling Sophie how sorry she felt for her and that she would do anything to help even if that meant changing her wet nappies. 'In fact' said Jenny 'if you have to go through all of this then I am going through it with you.' What do you mean?' 'Well Sophie I want to wear a nappy for as long as you have to, we can be in nappies together' 'You don't have to do that Jen, you are here that's enough' 'No Sophie I want to, in fact I think I need to' 'What?' 'I've just wet myself' Jenny pointed to her crotch. Sure enough Jenny was soaked, her trousers were dark and still warm. 'Did you do that on purpose?' Jenny nodded. 'Yes Sophie. I told you if you are going through it I am going through it, now where are your nappies?' 'If you are really sure of this Jen' 'I am' Sophie gave Jenny a nappy but Jenny handed it back to her. 'You changed your mind already?' 'No, I changed you so you change me' Jenny took off her wet trousers and thong and threw them to the floor, she lay down on the bed and talked Sophie through the whole process. 'I think we should just wear our t-shirts and nappies and go watch the horror film' said Jenny. 'Ok, let's do it' They both went back to the living room and put on the horror film and opened another bottle of wine. The film scared the both of them, it was about half way through the film when Jenny told Sophie that she had just wet her nappy. 'Well I can't tell you if I do cause I don't know' Sophie laughed. Sophie felt so grateful for what Jenny was doing for her, she felt like they were little again. At the age of 8 both of them had still been in night-time nappies because of their bedwetting and they always slept in the same bed whenever they were at each others houses right up until they stopped the bed wetting when they were nearly 10. They did continue to share the same bed though even now, especially when they had watched a scary film together. They got the flat tidied up and switched off the TV. 'That film was really scary' Sophie said. 'Will you sleep in my bed tonight?' 'Of course I will. I'm as scared as you.' Both the girls rustled into Sophies room and shut the door. 'I think we should change our nappies before we get to bed' suggested Jenny. 'I will change you first then you change me' Sophie lay down on her bed and Jenny went about changing her wet nappy, after that they switched places and Sophie changed Jenny. They both decided that they stay in just their nappies and t-shirts and sleep just like they had all those years ago. They both cuddled up to each other and fell asleep. At 4am Jenny woke up, she needed the toilet badly, she was about to get up when she remembered the nappy between her legs. She didn't want to spend the rest of the night in a wet nappy, but she did promise Sophie that she would go through it with her. Jenny decided that she could hold on till the morning when she could change shortly after. She went back to sleep. The sun shone straight through the curtains, it was a little after midday and Jenny was first to wake up with a bad headache. She remembered all the wine and all that had happened the previous night, she turned to Sophie who was still sleeping, she looked so cute when she slept especially as she sucked her thumb and had done for all her life. Jenny touched the front of Sophies nappy, it was wet, very wet, she thought about how bad it must be for Sophie to be a bed wetter again. Jenny sat up, her nappy felt bulkier, she looked down, she was soaked. Jenny had wet the bed for the first time in years, she couldn't believe it and began to cry. Sophie woke up. 'Jenny. What's wrong? Why are you crying?' 'Sophie, I wet the bed or wet my nappy rather.' 'What's the problem? You did that last night.' 'You don't understand. I did this in my sleep.' 'Well you did drink a lot of wine last night, it's a good job you wore a nappy' Sophie chuckled. Jenny looked at Sophie and they both laughed. They decided that they should get up, as Sophie got up she cried out in pain. 'OWWW' Sophie lay back down. 'What's wrong you hurt your back or something?' 'No it's my bum its burning it feels like I'm sitting on a hot plate' Jenny went over to Sophie and untapped her nappy pulling the front of it down. Sophies skin was red raw, she had a case of nappy rash. 'Sophie, did you powder yourself at all yesterday?' 'What do you mean powder?' 'You know talcum powder' 'No I didn't why?' 'You have a bit of nappy rash' 'NAPPY RASH! How?' 'Well you have sat around in a wet nappy for too long, you should have used talcum powder to take away some of the moisture' 'I didn't know, I will get some later when I go and get some more nappies' 'You stay here and lay down I will go for the shopping, I wont be long the Chemist down the road should have the stuff we need' Jenny just put on her jog pants forgetting about the wet nappy between her legs. She got her coat and ran down the road. The Chemist was just about to close for lunch so he asked Jenny to be quick. Jenny was a little embarrassed as she asked the pharmacist for the size of nappies she needed, she got them and some nappy rash cream paid for them and left. On the way back she stopped at the local supermarket to get some baby powder. She got the biggest tub she could find and had a quick look at the other products on the shelves. Her eyes set upon the dummies on the shelf, she remembered how cute Sophie had looked sucking her thumb and picked 2 up. Jenny was in the queue for the checkout when she felt a quite desperate urge to pee. Jenny was hopping from one foot to the other, the woman in front was having an assistant get her a replacement item. Jenny really needed to go then she remembered the nappy again. In all the rushing around she forgot about it, she felt so naughty about what she was about to do. She just let go, she could feel the nappy getting heavier and heavier she thought it was going to leak, it didn't. Jenny paid for the items and was on the way out when she was knocked over by a kid messing around with a trolley. She fell to the floor on her padded backside stunned. After a few moments Jenny got back up. The kid who knocked her over started to laugh as she turned to go out. 'Mummy that girl has wet herself' said the little boy. Oh no Jenny thought I have leaked. She was running full pelt to the flat hoping she didn't see anybody she knew, luckily she didn't she got back into the flat and breathed a huge sigh of relief. She went through to Sophies room and told her about what happened. She helped Sophie up out of bed and removed her freshly wet nappy. Sophie went to the shower at a slow pace as her nappy rash was really hurting her. Sophie got her shower and Jenny stripped back down to her nappy and t-shirt waiting to get in. As Sophie got out Jenny got in. Sophie was drying herself in the bathroom and Jenny was just getting finished washing herself. 'So Jenny are you still going to wear a nappy with me?' 'Of course I am I made you a promise' After their showers Sophie and Jenny went back to Sophies room and got the changing stuff ready. Jenny took Sophie through what she needed to do to prevent the nappy rash. Jenny took out the cream, powder and a fresh nappy. 'Lie back then Sophie.' Sophie lay down. Jenny lifted up Sophies legs and slid the nappy under her, she then put a large amount of cream on her and rubbed it in. Sophie moaned as Jenny rubbed the cream in her skin was feeling better already. Jenny took the baby powder and sprinkled lots on, she pulled the front of the nappy up and taped it shut. 'There does that feel better?' 'Oh yes it feels a lot better, now it's your turn.' Jenny lay down and let Sophie return the favour. After they were both in their nappies they went to make some breakfast. 'So,' said Sophie 'you know that I'm gonna be in nappies for quite a while?' 'Yes Soph you told me and I'm gonna be in them for as long as you.' 'Jen I really appreciate what you have done for me but you really don't have to.' 'Well to be honest with you Soph I'm really starting to enjoy it.' 'What! How do you mean you enjoy it?' 'Well earlier in the supermarket I felt so naughty and so turned on I nearly came on the spot.' 'You did?' 'Yes I couldn't believe how turned on I was.' 'Well Jen, I must admit that I have been a little turned on when you change me and take care of me.' They both discussed it for a while and Jenny wanted Sophie to come out in public with her. 'Well Jenny I don't know what difference it will make, I have already wet my pants and nappy in public and I hated it.' 'Just please come with me Soph.' After a bit of persuading Sophie decided to go with Jenny. They decided to go to the city centre and do some clothes shopping. They changed their nappies and got dressed then they went to catch the bus. They had both decided to wear waterproof coats as it would mask the sounds of their crinkling bottoms. They planned to go to most of the clothes stores and to the McDonalds for their lunch. They had spent a few good hours going from store to store when Jenny felt the urge to pee. 'Soph I really have to go potty.' 'Well go then.' Jenny stood there in the middle of town in front of hundreds of people and wet her nappy. Sophie watched as Jenny turned red. 'It feels so good' said Jenny. 'I've been wet for ages, it doesn't fell that good to me.' They carried on walking and talking but Jennys head was somewhere else. She was feeling so horny and every time they stopped or got in a queue Jennys hand would drift to the front of her nappy and she would rub it. She loved the feeling of pressing the wet nappy onto her. Sophie had noticed this and had to tell her. 'Jenny stop that!' 'I can't help it Soph I'm so horny. Besides nobody can see me, you are my shield.' 'Just pack it in, can't you wait until we get home? Just pack it. . ...UH OH' 'UH OH what? What is the matter?' 'I have to go to the toilet.' 'That's great you have some of your feeling back.' 'No Jen I never lost this feeling. I have to go number two.' 'Oh no, what are you going to do?' 'I'm just going to have to wait till we get home, I don't have a spare nappy with me to change into if I have to take this one off.' 'Well. Why don't you go in your nappy?' '

Hi babes! It's been awhile since I've done a bumpdate, so I thought I would share one. I've also had a few of you ask about my nursing must haves, so I thought it would be fun to share them today as well!
How Far Along: 32 weeks, 2 days. Time is flying. I meant to do a second trimester must-haves blog post, but this pregnancy has been going so quickly that I never got around to it! Please let me know what other pregnancy content you guys want to see!
Name: We've definitely named her (with Noah's help), and we are so excited to finally meet her in person and see her little face! We are still deciding on the middle name, but I think we are getting close!
Cravings: Anything and everything in site. Although acid reflux has made me slow down on the huge meals. A few weeks before baby I'm planning on implementing a really high fiber diet, because let me just be brief here (there's nothing worse than taking a #2 after baby is born) You may as well be giving birth to another child. With Noah, I hate all of the hospital food, and didn't pack any healthy stuff (not happening this time!)
How I'm Feeling: Pretty good, besides just being super tired again. Somedays my energy level is pretty normal, while other days I'm totally exhausted. I've been feeling like a bad mom because it's been SO hot outside, so Noah and I have been spending a lot of time indoors. I get a tad dizzy when I go outside in this heat. I was working out of a coffee shop the other day and was getting so dizzy off and on. I have low blood pressure and I'm slightly anemic during pregnancy, so my body isn't at his highest performance. I've been finding it impossible to work out, so I'm saving that for after the baby is born at this point.
Favorite Maternity Clothing Purchases So Far: Dresses, and lots of them. They are just so much easier than pants at this point. I've been wearing lots of cozy tank dresses, and flowy maxi dresses. Some of my favorite purchases during this pregnancy have been sporty dresses. I have two by Adidas that I just love. I'll link my top maternity clothing purchases in the little slideshow below for you guys!
Movement: An insane amount. I think I already told you guys about this, but the placenta is in the back, so baby girl is right in the front making her movements really visible. Sometimes her kicks are so startling, and they can actually be uncomfortable! She's definitely a little mover!
Daddy is: Getting more and more excited like me. With excitement also comes the nervousness about parenting two children, which we are both a tad nervous about (who isn't!?). We have been making it a priority to spend time together just us, as well as time together just the 3 of us as a little family.
Nursery Progress: We have all of the main pieces put in place! I just need to add some decor pieces. I also need to find a lamp (haven't decided if I'm going to do a standing lamp or a table lamp… still on the hunt!) Can't wait to share the nursery with you guys, here are some of the items we've gotten so far:
Nursing Must-Haves
So when it comes to nursing must haves, I will probably keep this somewhat short, and do a more detailed post later… so stay tuned for that! I nursed Noah for a little over a year, so I spent a lot of time nursing, and there are a lot of things to talk about here!
- Nipple Cream– This Lansinoh Nipple Cream is a freaking life saver you guys. Order it right now, and put it in your hospital bag as soon as it comes in the mail. You will need this to save your nipples!
- Good Nursing Bras– I lived in nursing bras for the first year of Noah's life, and I know it's going to be similar this time around. I wore comfy ones without wires or padding around the house. I loved THIS ONE without padding last time around. For days when I'm out and about and want some support, THIS ONE is a great option.
- A Hands-Free Pumping Bra- There were times when I would pump so that Dylan could feed Noah a bottle, or I could just get out of the house for awhile. This hands-free pumping bra was so amazing! I could basically set myself up to pump, and get work done on my computer or phone while pumping. I have no idea how people hold the bottles up to their boobs and do it!
- Nursing Tanks- I lived in nursing tanks after Noah was born, and I always slept in them. I love the ones with built in bras so that you don't have to wear a bra as well. You just unclip the strap, and you're ready to nurse. I love THIS ONE and THIS ONE.
- A Good Nursing Pillow- I basically lived strapped inside of THIS NURSING PILLOW. I literally would walk around with it attached to me most days. It was like my own little island, lol. I liked this one the best, because it was the most sturdy.
One last thing, since you all know that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens up to card holders on Thursday, I'm participating in a Nordstrom Gift Card giveaway with some other bloggers! Good luck babes!
Simply enter below by completing the rafflecopter.
You'll receive one entry per completion.
This giveaway is open internationally and runs until 7/24.
Winner will be announced here. Good Luck!

Bill Willingham's Vertigo series "Fables" has been built around his encyclopedic knowledge of classic folktales and mythologies, and much of that comes from his work at TSR, Inc., the company that first launched Dungeons & Dragons. The writer and artist recruited is former TSR colleague Stephen Sullivan to moderate a spotlight panel Sunday at the Chicago Comics & Entertainment Expo, and they got into it, Willingham made good on promises to deliver spoilers for his three biggest projects in comics right now - "Fables," "Justice Society of America" and "Angel."
"Fables," which is on pace to hit issue #100 soon, received the bulk of the attention during the panel. Willingham said that he plans to change some things in a big way when the book hits triple digits, and while he didn't get into specific, his spoiler for the series was twofold, and both should be serviceable conversation starters for speculators.
"Some of the people that you think are dead in 'Fables' are not, and some of the people that you don't think are dead in 'Fables' are," he stated.
That remark followed a question about the status of Boy Blue, who is currently dead in the ongoing story.
"Stinky the Badger has started a religion around the longed-for return of Boy Blue, and they indicate their membership with him by wearing a blue handkerchief," he explained. The writer then pointed to an upcoming cover that clearly displays Rose Red wearing one of those signifiers. Willingham wouldn't go into specifics beyond that, but he did say that he was open to passing around blue handkerchiefs as a promotion at Comic-Con International in San Diego this summer.
Willingham's second reveal addressed Snow White, with the author declaring, "We're gonna get Snow White married." Asked if she wasn't already married, he stuttered a bit, but re-emphasized, "Snow White is getting married in a very-soon upcoming "Fables."
As for his "Justice Society of America" spoiler, Willingham revealed that he will be taking a note from a previous storyarc in "Fables" and seeing how the same approach works in the DC Universe.
"Currently, the JSA is about 20 years in our future where the Fourth Reich, the Nazi superheroes, have taken over America, and Mr. Terrific is collaborating the Nazis," he explained. "We will be returning to our present day soon. In 'Fables' land, I have a lot of fun taking their vilest villain, The Adversary, and making him a member of Fabletown, and I thought that was really fun. I'm going to copy myself, do it again, and take the JSA's most dangerous, horrible villain and make him a member of the JSA."
He did not, however, say which villain specifically would be involved in that experiment.
In "Angel," Willingham's IDW comic based in the "Buffy" universe established by Joss Whedon, he announced another plot point that will deal with issues regarding villain and hero roles.
"The spoiler for this is that Spike from the 'Angel' series has been wondering for some time why prophecy never works out for him, why he's never the good guy," the writer said. "He's been looking into who gets to write prophecy. Do you go to school? Do you get a certificate? Is there a board of prophets that licenses you to?"
Circumstances will soon present Spike with the opportunity to tip prophecies in his favor, according to Willingham.
"One, he comes into a bit of money, and two, he has access to tons and tons of out-of-work Hollywood lawyers, so he starts hiring them to write prophecies where he's the star," he explained.
In addition to talking comics, Willingham also discussed his newly re-written novel "Down the Mysterly River."
"Before starting 'Fables,' I wrote the novel 'Down the Mysterly River,' and it got a small kind of boutique release, mostly sat on the shelf for ten years, and then recently we sold it to Tor Books for a major release."
The book, which follows a young man sent to wrong afterlife to live among wild animals, played an important role in Willingham's creative timeline, giving him a place to trying out story elements that he went on to use in "Fables."
"Those that read it will see a lot of the ideas that became 'Fables' in proto-form," he said.
As for how long Willingham plans to spend expanding is increasingly epic world in "Fables" itself, he used another famous comic as an example of his lofty goals.
"Hal Foster wrote 'Prince Valiant' for 33 years, so if I use the Hal Foster template, I still owe you 24 years," he concluded.
