text: what a month. January was a month to forget. This is the month when you retreat to Mexico for the weekend. But for the liquor business it is a month that you do inventory, that you do planning for the next year,that you do product development but marketing is at a standstill. The cold snowy days do not allow customers to come out for tastings ,the customers are broke. The holidays drains all of their resources. The liquor stores are over supplied. This is the month to go talk to customers, to build relationships but keep the marketing dollars at home.

I found this gorgeous turquoise sequined dress back in New York at a thrift store (Beacon's Closet) and couldn't leave it behind! Despite not necessarily having any use for a sequined dress at the time, I figured it could always come in handy for New Year's Eve, if nothing else. I know, I know, "sequins for…

I'm so excited about the knit-along! We're up to thirteen now (including myself of course; I like to inflate the numbers). Of course, that means I actually have to start it at some point soon. I finished the last pocket of the LoTech Sweat last night, and if I have the gumption, I'll start seaming tonight. Then I'll just have the button bands to do!
I have a sneaking suspicion it's not going to fit. I might have made it very small. And I am not. Uh-oh.
I have things to say, and I can't remember them. Those thoughts I can remember, I don't want to write about. I'm in a dither. Nothing important, I'm sure.
I'm waiting for my landlord to come over. In two years of living here, I've never met him. He's in town and wanted us all to get together. (I live in the bottom apartment of a large house.) That can't be good, can it?
I'm going to distract myself from worrying – Do you know how great my cats are? I know, everyone says that, but no one else has a Digit. He's such an asshole. He could go pro at it, I think. He's the most curmudgeonly cat ever – he even growls sometimes when he's purring. He gets confused.
Oh! But when I came home Monday night from the festival, I was in the bedroom putting things away, storing the old flashlights, generally puttering. And I Smelled A Smell. A far-off, dried up smell, but it was there. I sniffed my way around the room – you know the way you do. Traced it to across the room, near the bed, close to the window and found it.
Digit had pissed all over the down comforter. This had obviously been right when I left, since it was mostly all dried up. But it had gone through all layers of the bed. Only the mattress (thank you good sweet god) was unscathed. There was still a damp sticky yellow puddle at the bottom of the wall.
This is the most unpleasant aspect of a cat (well, that and cat spray and he doesn't know how to do that, thank god). I swore and cursed and kicked my toe against the desk on accident. I LOVE my down comforter. And this is the second time he's done it. He's very clever. He's only peed twice in the house, both times now on the bed, and one time he pooped a very small poop right into the heel of my Birkenstock. When it's small like that and the heel is deep, you don't notice the squooshing that's happening until you're almost out to your car.
He picks the things that are almost IMPOSSIBLE to clean.
Okay, now I'm irritated with him, all over again. But I love a challenge, always have.
While I was re-making the bed (after double-washing everything but the comforter, which I took off to the horrified cleaners), this is what he did. It's his favorite game, being under the sheet, me grabbing and wrastling with his head while he flails underneath. It's a growl-purr fest.

This bear is the first animal that I ever shot without Dad around - in the same woods as me. It took me well out of my comfort zone and resulted in lifetime memories, a few bumps and some of the best meat I have ever tasted.
This bear is the first animal that I have really done something with. I have a few sets of antlers that we mounted but I have never kept the hide of an animal. Until now. Even though these eyes are not the ones that looked down at me from high in the tree that morning, these eyes represent all of the new experiences and friends that I have made since then.
|Jim and Lori had to add boards on the sides of their rack to fit the bear
|His ears were almost non existent which is why you can see the pins holding up the nubs until they dry
|It's like bringing my bear back to life. I love the scars!
|I love this bear!

Waters are shaking at Manchester United after the long time injury of Rio Ferdinand and that of Vidic, the traditional captains of Manchester, as two players are favorite to take the band for the next games.
Both players are considered personalities in Manchester's crew, and will be hard for Ferguson to choose one for the captain position.
First one from those two is Evra, which comes after an injury. He was captain in the past, but I seems that Ferguson is falling on the other direction, for the second important competitor in the person of Rooney.
"He always gives 100% in the field and has good captain qualities, has a lot of team spirit!" said Ferguson on Rooney.
Manchester United is coming after a great start in Premier League with a victory against West Bromwich Albion, a game that boosted their morale. They will face today Tottenham in a very interesting game that will end the second football weekend from the league.
And after all, in this game, we might see if the changes regarding the captain will be made and if so, who will have the honor to wear it.

Apparently, not everyone is in the mood for holiday cheer.
One airline passenger proved just that when he grumpily boarded an airline flight and flipped out when a gate agent wished him "Merry Christmas."
"You shouldn't say that because not everyone celebrates Christmas," he barked in response, according to the New York Post. "Well, what should I say then?," the agent responded. "Don't say, 'Merry Christmas!' " the man shouted before boarding the plane.
Considering that interaction, it didn't make matters any better when he got on the plane and a flight attendant said, "Merry Christmas" almost immediately.
"Don't say, 'Merry Christmas!,'" the man shouted again, going on to give the pilot and flight attendants a lecture about why they needed to keep that phrase to themselves.
The crew reportedly tried to calm the man down, but he continued snapping at them until he was escorted off the plane with other passengers giving a round of applause and cheers as he left.
Maybe he needs a visit from the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.

I didn't go back to re-read, but I do recall in your earlier posts that you mentioned Romeo thought of poly or non-monogamy as a temporary thing until you guys get married. You expressed a little unease about that, but perhaps you put some blinders on and didn't really want to address his position on it, when you were all excited about having another relationship in your life.
Well, hon, here it is smack-dab in your face. Whatever we resist (or avoid), persists!
It looks like Romeo thinks of non-monogamy as some kind of extra activity, recreational, fun, non-serious, that you agreed to do until it's out of your system. Then he didn't like how it went down with Knight and he feels that you aren't ready for being engaged and working toward building married life together. In his eyes, you just want the fun. So, he's like, "okay, forget the engagement, she's not serious about it."
It seems to me that you both need to sit down together and have a serious talk about how you define all the things you want in life, what being non-monogamous truly means to you, what marriage means, and how you can come together in the middle and see if you can find a compromise that will make you both happy, or at least satisfied. Perhaps you should take a break from Knight until it all gets hashed out, I don't know. Maybe not -- maybe Romeo needs to see that you can have more than one guy in your life and still be committed to him at the same time.
But instead of focusing on "why are we not engaged anymore," focus on "how do you envision our lives together unfolding?" and "what do you want for the future?" and "what is most important to you?" Things like that.
The world opens up... when you do.

Last night I had an unexpected dinner date which has left me kind of strapped for time. I certainly don't have enough time to make a decent post (as if I'm able to do such thing at all) this Wednesday. So what's a man to do? Well I do what I see people like Tsuru do when they haven't got time to write: I whip up an article full of random youtubes found with the magical tool that is Google!
I know I said 'random', but in all honesty I do have some sort of theme to this article: POP!
If the word 'pop' is enough for you to look further without watching the vids, I do strongly encourage you to pay attention anyway. 'Cause there ain't nuttin' wrong with pop. As long as it's quality pop, and I do believe I have found a selection of just that for you. If you still don't like pop after playing these songs, then there is something seriously wrong with you. Enjoy!

Does the fear of rejection prevent you from getting more sales?
Does the thought of facing another 'No' cripple you into inaction?
Are you tired of being afraid of rejection?
I'm too familiar with this chronic and debilitating feeling that had rendered me ineffective in sales in the past. The fear of rejection is one of the top issues faced by sales people everywhere. It is a recurring theme in my coaching conversations with clients in sales – especially those who are relatively new.
In my evolving journey, I've read and experimented many approaches to deal with rejection. I've found many that were incongruent with me, they didn't work or just didn't seem right for me. But there were some that made sense and were congruent with me.
Here are 7 of them:
1) You can ask anyone for anything if you make it OK for them to say 'No'
I learnt this key from Michael Neill. When you give yourself the permission to be OK no matter what your prospect feel and say, you'll be alright.
The key is not in forcing or making yourself feel OK, or in faking it, but in giving yourself permission. The more comfortable you are with accepting 'No', knowing that you'll be OK, then you'd have the courage to ask anyone for anything.
I don't deny that rejection may seems to hurt. The key is in giving yourself the space and time to return to OK, and move on.
How do you know you'll be OK? Let's see Key #2.
2) Your self-worth is never dependent on their 'Yes'
It may seem criticism and rejection can affect your self-worth, but they don't. Your value as a person is innate, irregardless of how many 'No' you receive. Your worthiness is never in jeopardy.
Your identity is not about the number of approvals you get. Your innate value doesn't change with how many 'Yes' or 'No'. Just like the value of a ten-dollar bill doesn't diminish if you crumple it, spit at it, or trample it under your foot. Because its value is innate.
Likewise, who you really are, your innate value is entirely unaffected by criticism and rejection. Your may feel otherwise because of your insecure thinking. We'll get to your 'thoughts' in a while.
For now, ask yourself these questions:
What does it mean if you know criticism and rejection cannot affect you?
What would you do if you know your worthiness, value and well-being are never at risk?
3) 'No' is not the opposite of 'Yes'
Arianna Huffington said, "Failure is not the opposite of success. It is part of success."
Similarly in sales, 'No' is not the opposite of 'Yes' – it is just part of the process of getting to 'Yes'. It allows the opportunity for both parties to look deeper and ask better questions. It totally shifts the meaning of 'No'.
'No' would also gives you useful feedback and information that you may otherwise miss to progress forward.
If you make that mental shift, you wouldn't dread the 'Nos'. You would welcome them.
4) 'No' is not the problem. It is what you attach to 'No' which is the problem
'No' only becomes a problem when you attach insecure thoughts and invest much emotional weight onto it. That pulls you down and freezes you into inaction. Things become much more difficult than they are.
For example, I often hear from my coachees that the thought of making a sales call becomes weighty, not the action itself. The act of making the call is simple and takes only a short time. But the struggle in the mind consumes a large amount of time and energy.
That leads to Key #5.
5) Don't take your thoughts too seriously. Take Action
If we are awakened to the fact that we live in the feeling of our thinking, we know that the root of the problem lies in the misunderstanding of where our experience comes from.
You only feel a certain way because of your thoughts in the moment, not the task that you're supposed to take or its outcome.
The longest path is the distance between your two ears. When you free your mind, you're free to do whatever it takes to get what you want.
If you treat taking action more seriously than all the unnecessary thoughts you struggle with, you'll progress forward.
The cure for the fear of rejection is taking action. After all, thinking (fearing, worrying) don't move you forward – taking the next step does.
6) Build relationships, not the numbers
What if you see your business as not about how many sales you close, but how many relationships you open?
They say, in sales it's the numbers' game. That is certainly one way of looking at it.
Another way of seeing, which many find more enriching, is about the relationships you make. Not surprisingly, many of the top successful sales stars often talk about the importance of building relationships. The possibilities are far reaching, beyond what you can see in the shorter range.
You can make your business about serving and giving value upfront. Astonish your prospects by making them feel the time invested to meet you is
more than well spent.
Instead of just hearing what you have to offer, they actually experience a taste of what is it like to be doing business with you, and what their future would look like if they have your product/service.
The worst case scenario is you don't get the sales (at least not immediately) but you build a relationship that means something for both parties. The best case is you gain the relationship and the sales.
7) Fear of rejection when selling? Don't sell!
I often hear this from my coaching clients, "I hate selling!" or other variances along that line. I could see all the non-verbal signals that inform me that they don't like where the conversation is heading.
I would usually dig deeper and ask, "That's interesting. Help me to understand. Can you tell me more?"
Many people attach the idea of selling with manipulating words to get money from the prospects' pocket into theirs. And that feels incongruent with their values.
"Ok, let's not talk about selling for a while." I would sometimes say.
"Let's talk about your strengths. What are you good at? What are you passionate at doing?"
There's one coaching conversation where the response was, "I love to teach!" and I could see the aliveness coming back in his eyes.
To that I would ask, "What did you feel when you said that?"
And later in the conversation, I would go along this line, "Well, instead of "selling", how can you make your business about "educating" people the need/benefits for <his product/service/message>?
And the conversation would usually continue toward a more empowering direction.
So, instead of "selling" (if you dread that idea), how can you make your business about serving/helping/sharing/educating people?
What's the mission of your company and product/service? The more the mission compels you, the more you would get the message out there.
The Big Picture
At the end of the day, when you make it OK for people to say 'No', when you don't attach unnecessary weights on 'No', when you know your value and well-being is never at risk, you'll be alright.
When you recognize your insecure thoughts for what they are, they have no power over you. When you realize that those undesirable emotions come from those thinking and not the circumstances, you'll be OK with any outcome.
Not everyone is naturally good in selling, but everyone is good in something. Find out what your strengths and passions are. Remember the mission. Build your business message around that.
Do these keys resonate with you? In any case, I invite you to share your thoughts in the 'Comments' section below.

Money in a traditional IRA, 401(k) or similar tax-deferred retirement account is usually pre-tax, while dollars you put into a Roth IRA have to be after-tax. "Converting" to a Roth IRA is the Internal Revenue Service's way of saying you must pay taxes on the cash you transfer to a Roth to turn it into after-tax dollars. Some of the funds in a tax-deferred account might already be after-tax. You can have after-tax money in tax-deferred accounts when you make non-deductible contributions to a traditional IRA or designated Roth contributions to a 401(k). Those after-tax dollars are called your "basis."
Add up all of the nondeductible contributions you have made to the tax-deferred account since you opened it. Subtract any nondeductible contributions you already withdrew. Suppose you've made $10,000 in nondeductible contributions to a traditional IRA, but you've withdrawn $2,000. That leaves $8,000 as the basis. This is also the basis for the Roth IRA conversion if you're converting the entire balance of the tax-deferred account.
Calculate the basis percentage if you are converting only part of the money in the tax deferred account to a Roth. Basis percentage is the percentage of basis dollars in the tax-deferred account you are converting. Divide the basis from Step 1 by the account balance of the tax-deferred account. For example, if your basis is $8,000 and the account balance is $50,000, you have $8,000/$50,000, which equals 0.16. Multiply 0.16 by 100 to convert to 16 percent. This is the basis percentage in the tax-deferred account.
Calculate the portion of a partial conversion you can count as basis dollars. IRS rules say the percentage of basis dollars you move in a partial conversion to a Roth IRA must be the same as the basis percentage in the tax-deferred account. Suppose you are converting $15,000 of the $50,000 balance in step 2. The basis percentage in the account is 16 percent, so 16 percent of the $15,000 you convert count as basis dollars. Multiply 16 percent by $15,000, which equals $2,400. This means $2,400 of the $15,000 you are converting counts as basis money.

Gallium is a by-product of aluminum extracted during the processing of bauxite into alumina. It can also occasionally be found in Zn ore. We are a refiner and supplier of gallium materials.
Indium Corporation supplies gallium:
- In the form of shot and ingot
- In the form of sputtering targets, after being alloyed with other elements (Cu-Ga, Cu-In-Ga)
- In the form of compounds, such as Anhydrous Gallium Trichloride or Gallium Sesquioxide
Gallium and gallium alloys are desirable because of their low melting points and wetting properties. They are used for thin-film coatings and in thermal interface materials.
Gallium is also used in many semiconducting applications, such as photovoltaics, diodes, and integrated circuits. Rigorous quality standards and advanced analytical instrumentation, such as ICP and GDMS, assures consistent product quality from one lot to another.

SARASOTA, Fla. (WFLA) – As the Republican Party made finals preparations for a massive Donald Trump event, Barclay Kirkland and fellow Trump supporter Lilo Hendrickson practiced their victory dance.
"We are ready to dance the night away," Kirkland told WFLA. "We want to celebrate with all of the other Trump supporters!"
A large ballroom within the Hyatt Hotel in Sarasota on Ringling Boulevard is the backdrop for what Republicans are hoping will be a lively victory party. So far, organizers have received 3-thousand RSVP's for Tuesday night's event to watch the returns where Congressman Vern Buchanan will be in attendance.
Hendrickson told WFLA, "This has been one of the most divisive campaigns. I've had friends tell me to change my Trump shirt before I'm even allowed in their home." Media from as far away as the United Kingdom and Japan are at this large-scale Republican watch party.

Nature is my 2nd favorite subject (after cute kids) and I live in the country so I am surrounded by nature's beauty but I love going on nature walks in other places. I recently went to Burgess Falls and took some nature photos. If you are going on a photo walk I recommend going by yourself or with other photographers because in order to take good photos you need to walk slowly and look around and notice things and as fun as kids are they tend to be a bit of a distraction (unless of course you want to take photos of the kids in nature but that is another subject)
It is usually recommended that you take your tripod with you when you go out and take nature photos but I don't like to hike with a lot of gear so I usually just take my camera and my favorite everyday lens (don't forget your water).
Burgess Falls is a state park here in Tn. that is famous for its waterfalls so of course I took lots of photos of them. The light was really bright that day so I didn't use a slower shutter speed to capture the water (the longer the shutter is open the more light on the image) When taking waterfall photos try different angles and do close ups and distance shots. Look for interesting light and sparkle on the water.
When you are at a place like Burgess Falls it is easy to think that the waterfall is the most important thing to take a photo of but so does everyone else so look around you for other interesting things to photograph.
These are a few other shots I took, I noticed some unique photo subjects just by looking around me and taking my time. In the 1st shot I turned around and looked at the area opposite the waterfall, it was a very sunny day and windy which was causing a lot of water mist. The 2nd image is a little stream waterfall along the path to the big waterfall and most people missed it in their rush to get to the big falls, and it was in the shade so I was able to take a photo with a slow shutter speed for a silky water effect

Timing with charting and positive OPK
Hi all!
New here so pardon anything I'm doing incorrectly! We are on month 4 of **seriously** TTC (all 4 months with OPK, first month charting) and I have a slightly irregular cycle (30/31/40/32 are my recent lengths). I'm on CD 22 now and had a clear positive OPK on digital (clearblue) as well as Wondo strips as of 6am this morning. My temperature also dropped the last few days from 97.46 down to 96.20 at the lowest point this morning. I did use both a digital OPK and Wondo test last night around 9pm, and although the Wondo looked possibly positive, the digital was reading negative. We BD Saturday morning and this morning as soon as I saw the positive OPK. Looking at temps and a positive OPK test, do you think our timing was ok and how many more times/days should we continue to BD?? Should we try again tonight? It seems like people have mixed feelings about that, but if it's like 15 hrs apart...
Thank you so much in advance!! I feel like I'm getting too scientific about TTC, but its hard not obsessing over temps, opks, etc once you start. We've been married almost 5 years and we are so ready for a little one!!
Re: Timing with charting and positive OPK
Well they say you O 12-36 hours after you get a pos OPK. and thats a HUGE temp drop so it sounds like you may O later on tonight or tomorrow. I think your timing sounds pretty good! Of course it wont hurt anything if you wanna BD tonight.
Re: Timing with charting and positive OPK
Thank you for the reply! Its been a gradual drop since Friday, but it is still really low. I took it in the exact same position and the exact same time as every other day I've tested. I just feel like I should have BD last night because the OPK was almost positive, like a tiny, tiny bit fainter than the control line, but the negative digital swayed me away as well as the fact we were both exhausted. I just hope I didn't miss a real surge like an hour later or during the night? I guess you can't go back. Might try to BD tonight. Every other month we've really tried to BD as much as possible, but obviously hasn't worked yet! I know I shouldn't get discouraged 4 months in, but you start to wonder!!
Re: Timing with charting and positive OPK
As long as you BD anytime before O you have a chance. its better to do it too early than too late

I am using the Blinkstick client 2.0 rc-9. Very nice software.
I have noticed that when you change a test notification pattern you must close it then re-open for the trigger to work.
What happens if I have two computers using the same Blinkstick? Say computer A has the remote notification configured to a Nano. It reacts to the web command. Great. Now I remove the Nano and got to computer B. I add the remote notification configuration there but the Nano does not respond to the web commands. If I plug the Nano back into computer A then the previously sent commands (while on computer B) take effect. Wow, that last part was unexpected.
Is this working as designed or a bug?
Hey Pablo,
your first note seems to be a small issue in the BlinkStick Client. Triggering the test returns the last chosen pattern. The "Edit Notification" dialog have to be reopend like you´ve found out.
The behavior if you put the Nano back to PC A is meant to be like this. You set the color for an access code not for a device. The question is why it does not work at PC B. Maybe something blocked the connection. You could set the Log to "Full" in the settings, restart the BlinkStick Client and try it again. Then take a look at your log file.

An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy, such as heat, light, and/or sound.
This type of reaction occurs when the energy needed to cause the reaction is less than the energy needed to form the reactants.For example, burning is the combination of oxygen with a substance, such as the chemicals in a candle. Energy (in) is needed to melt the wax, and then break the chemical bonds of the reacting chemicals (wax and oxygen).
Activation Energy is an input energy from the burning wick needed to break the bonds holding the wax atoms together as well as the energy holding the atoms of oxygen together.
Bond Energy Stored- This is an input energy stored in the chemical bonds of the products.
Bond Energy Released- This is an output energy that is released when the bonds of the reactant chemicals are broken.
In an exothermic chemical reaction, the output energy is greater than the input energy.
When a candle burns, you see the colored flame (light energy) and feel the heat of the flame (heat energy).

Tributes to inspirational Paddy 'Bogside'
Tributes to one of Londonderry's leading civil rights campaigners have been led by Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness.
A carpenter and builder by trade, Paddy 'Bogside' Doherty passed away aged 89 yesterday after an illness.
Mr Doherty played a key role in the Derry Citizens' Defence Association in the Battle of the Bogside in 1969, one of the first major confrontations of the Troubles, which resulted in the Army being deployed on the streets.
His passion to create employment opportunities and regenerate the city endeared him to thousands of people.
He formed the Inner City Trust social enterprise scheme and established the Tower Museum - a building he bought for £1.
Describing him as his "good friend and legendary Derryman", Mr McGuinness said it was with profound sadness that he learnt of Mr Doherty's death.
"Paddy will be remembered by the older generation for his central role in the Derry Citizens' Defence Association during what has become known as the Battle of the Bogside and the Free Derry era," Mr McGuinness added. "But the younger generation will remember Paddy as the driving force behind the many projects designed to regenerate our city and to provide much-needed employment to hundreds of our young people.
"The Inner City Trust responsible for the regeneration of the walled area of our city will forever be associated with Paddy's vision and dedication to his native city.
"Paddy's enthusiasm for everything he became involved in made a lasting impression on all who had the good fortune to be familiar with him. He never missed an opportunity to promote Derry throughout the world."
The chief executive of the Inner City Trust also paid a warm tribute to Mr Doherty. "Paddy carried out sterling work in respect of the regeneration of this city," said Helen Quigley.
"He did so in a very positive and constructive manner during very challenging times. He gave hope and inspiration to many.
"He created jobs and opportunities, particularly for our young people.
"Paddy was a determined, dedicated and fearless individual in pursuit of creating prosperity and leaving a legacy for generations to come. May he rest in peace."
Foyle MP Mark Durkan said the incredible legacy left behind by Mr Doherty would remain for generations to come.
He added: "Paddy liked to remind me that I had called him a prophet many years ago.
"As we witness how the city walls are a shared asset enjoyed by visitors, the renaissance of the Columba legacy, the vibrant renewal of heritage properties and cultural pulse in the Walled City, we should recognise that many of this prophet's hopes have been realised in his own city.
"But he would also want to hear us urging for more so that the experiences of future generations could match his expectations for Derry and its citizens."
A book of condolences for Mr Doherty has been opened at the Guildhall.

When Vibrant gave me the option to review the Minna KGoal, I almost said no. I was (and still am) in the midst of final exams and papers and projects, and I thought I'd hate the toy anyway, especially after my experiences with other kegel exercisers. But after all, I love shirking responsibilities, my pelvic floor needs some work, and I love Vibrant as a company. They carry only body safe products, use gender-neutral language, and donate a portion of proceeds to planned parenthood. They've also sent bloggers T-shirts to welcome them to their affiliate program, so basically they're doing everything right. I'm so happy they reached out to me about reviewing the KGoal, because I love it, and I love them, and I love loving stuff.
As a principle, I hate working out. If you plop me on a treadmill or hand me a weight and tell me to move it up and down in the air with my arm, I will be a grumpy little human. However, if you disguise exercise as a hike, a lowkey game of soccer, or a swim, I am much happier. I don't even notice I'm working out.
Case in point, I need to trick myself into exercising by disguising it as fun.
And THAT, my friends, is why I like the Minna KGoal.
The KGoal is a moderately sized (1.4" diameter, 3″ insertable length) silicone kegel exerciser that works by using the same air pillow technology as the Minna Limon. It's basically a silicone sack of air that vibrates more intensely the harder you squeeze it. In the Limon, these vibrations are just used for pleasure, but in the KGoal, the toy vibrates as feedback from your clenching pelvic floor muscles. It also has two vibrating motors: one on the control arm and one on the insertable part. These can each be turned off and on separately via the app. Stick the air pillow in your vag, squeeze your muscles, and feel the vibes. Now, this is where it gets cool. Not only does it vibrate as feedback, but with it's app you can see a visual representation of your workout by playing games with your vagina.
Now these games are no vaginally operated Call of Duty or Neko Atsume, but hey, video games started with pong and now look how far we've come. The three games are each five minutes and consist of a pong-esque game, where you squeeze your vag to move a block back and forth to bounce a ball off of, one where you squeeze to move shaped through a door, and one that is reminiscent of one of those carnival games where you hit a thingy with a mallet and make something go to the top of a meter to show strength. I don't think I have a favorite, but the pong-esque one, called "bricks", is quite tricky until you get the hang of it. "Moving target", the carnival-y one, is definitely the easiest.
Even if you don't use any of the games for gaming purposes and only use the "moving target" one to gauge your squeezing, it is so super duper cool to see a visual representation of what your muscles are doing down there. I definitely found myself more in control of my muscles after one use just by seeing my own squeezing patterns. I've just been lying on my back, naked and legs spread staring at the phone screen in my hand while I contract and relax. SexBloggess recommended seeing your strength pre and post orgasm, as well as watching it during your orgasm to see how the muscles contract.
Originally, I thought the KGoal was going to be too big, and although it does cause me some discomfort when I initially insert it, it's actually pretty comfortable for that five minute workout. To use this toy you've got to read the directions. These will tell you that for best results, you need to deflate the air pillow all the way before inserting it and turning it on. So you deflate it, insert it, then inflate it, then turn it on. This allows it to fit you correctly while enabling the squeeze technology to give you the most accurate feedback. You'll have to read even more instructions on how to change the vibration settings without using the app, which controls and receives feedback from the toy via bluetooth. So far, I haven't experienced any problems with neither the app nor the bluetooth.
As for negative aspects of this contraption, I wish there were more games. I know I'm going to get bored of these things, so let's have a vaginally operated Flappy Bird or Mariokart or something (unrealistic, I know, but one can dream). I also wish it were waterproof. Washing my toys always makes me nervous if it only says "splashproof". I'm prone to breaking things so I need my shit to be as unbreakable as possible. My main concern however is not with the toy itself, but with the people using it. I'm worried that people having difficulties with pelvic floor dysfunction will see this as an alternative to a physical therapist. I think if you're experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction, this might be great to use alongside a physical therapist, but not as a substitute.
The Minna KGoal is best for someone who wants to trick their genitals into exercising, or those that want an active kegel workout rather than one where you just chill and hold stuff in your vagina. I probably wouldn't recommend it to lazy kegel-ers, but then again I myself am a lazy kegel-er and I like this contraption so I'm not totally sure where that leaves us. It's a five minute workout with maybe a five minute setup and cleanup, so it'll take about ten minutes total out of your day. It's a little pricey at $149 from Vibrant, but for once I respect that price point, as it is a unique and innovative toy. All Minna needs to do to make me feel even more ecstatic about this thing is to implement a a vaginally operated Neko Atsume so I have an excuse to play that addicting and fantastic waste of time. I would probably develop the strongest pelvic floor muscles in the world. Just Sayin'.
Thank you Vibrant for sending me the Minna KGoal in exchange for an honest review!

Owning and operating a vehicle is expensive between the purchase of the vehicle, gas, up-keep, insurance and the unexpected mechanical issues. And although, the cost of owning a vehicle cannot be avoided, but how you spend the money on your vehicle can be altered. What if you owned a vehicle that required saved you money? With the ever-expanding economic issues in America, more and more car manufacturers are offering even better discounts and incentives for new car owners.
The 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is offered with a 25.55% cash back bonus with a total of up to $5,425 as well as the 2011 GMC Sierra 1500. Saving $5,425 on a new vehicle could potentially be the amount you spend on full a year. According to GasBuddy, the average driver spends between $101-$200 a month on gas with a total of less than $2,400 for the year. If it is not a cash back bonus you use to save money with a vehicle, it may be a governmental tax break. The government is offering up to an $11,000 incentive between federal and state tax credits for owning and operating a green car such as the Hybrid Lexus.
Not only does driving a green or eco-friendly vehicle save you money with extreme tax incentives by the government, it saves you money every time you get behind the wheel. Cars such as the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic can get as high as 63.6 mpg, saving drivers hundreds of dollars on fuel costs, while the average car gets 20-28 mpg.
Still not convinced by the saving of green cars? There have been online applications built to help consumers determine just how much they could be saving on fuel costs, such as Kiplinger.com. Kiplinger.com put in place a Green Car Calculator where you can pick a green car and a gas engine vehicle and compare the two based on the price of fuel.
The benefits of a green vehicle do not end with the tax break and the cost of gas, it continues with insurance companies offering insurance discounts for those who own a green or hybrid vehicle. Travelers Insurance is offering an auto insurance discount for hybrid owners of up to 10% of the drivers annual premium.
So, whether you are environmentally cautious or not, the savings of owning and operating a green vehicle are endless. To search and compare pricing for a green vehicle visit www.autocricket.com

The defeated Democratic candidate gave a somber address to supporters and staffers in New York, Wednesday. She directed comments to the "little girls who are watching." She said, "you are valuable and powerful and deserving" of every opportunity in the world.
She urged them to strive to pursue their dreams, whatever they may be.

U.S. should arrest pain, not people who relieve it
February 18, 2003
Opinion - San Jose Mercury News,CALIFORNIANS want marijuana available for use as a medication, but that won't happen until the federal government is forced to stop prosecuting individual residents who provide the drug to the sick and dying. Federal agents are rounding up those working at the behest of local government to provide the herb to victims of cancer, AIDs, and other debilitating diseases. The feds want to make a political statement about illicit drugs. The providers want to bring low-cost relief to those crippled by pain and robbed of appetite. Californians who have watched disease attack the bodies and spirits of loved ones care less about politics and more about treatment. That's why state voters enacted a law allowing marijuana to be distributed as a painkiller and hunger-stimulant for patients under a doctor's care. If federal authorities now want a fight, at least make it a fair fight. This month's conviction of Ed Rosenthal represents the third recent case of selective federal prosecution related to medical marijuana. In June, Rosenthal will be sentenced to prison -- up to four decades -- for dispensing marijuana as an agent of the City of Oakland. Rosenthal will pay a steep price, but so will the people he tried to help: Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, neighbors, friends -- people in real pain. Federal prosecutors are passing up hard-core drug dealers and addicts to hunt down people like Rosenthal. That's why San Jose's police chief took a stand last year and pulled out of a federal drug task force. Bill Lansdowne chooses to focus instead on the illegal drug-trade that causes violence, community decay and addicted youth. The Bush Administration, on the other hand, is circumventing California law by making sure these pot prosecutions take place in federal courts where the term medicinal marijuana has so far been banned -- as evidence and motive. The jury that convicted Rosenthal was not allowed to hear from his defense team as to why he grew marijuana, or who received it. After learning the facts, several jurors angrily denounced the justice system for turning them into puppets. Some things can be done. • Federal judges in states with medicinal marijuana laws should recognize the will of residents by using discretion and allowing the term ``medical marijuana'' and circumstances to be presented in court. • Juries should always be instructed about their constitutional right to nullify verdicts when the facts of a case are not disputed -- which happens with most medicinal marijuana cases -- and when they feel a law is being unjustly applied. • Finally, local governments, not individuals, should take on the role of dispensing this substance.

Henlopen City Oyster House is located on Wilmington Ave, two blocks off the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk. While our overall experience was very good, there are a few detailed things that keep this from being an excellent restaurant. The blueberry feta pecan salad , herb brushed rockfish, and clams casino were outstanding. However, the crab corn chowder was tasteless. The soup was returned and replaced with clam chowder that was very good. The dinning area was open with a high ceiling, but inadequate lighting made it too dark. One of the bulbs in the track lighting was burned out and didn't help things out. Our table was located in the back corner of the dinning area. Two empy beer kegs were stored right next to our table. The Henlopen CIty Oyster House has very good food, but needs to make a few improvements to become excellent.

Parishes across archdiocese offer plenty of opportunities for Eucharistic adoration
DETROIT — With Lent under way, many Catholics begin the season of penance and reflection by setting tangible goals of what they can do to commemorate Jesus' sacrifice.
Traditionally, people give up a food item or try to break a nasty habit. But for others, it's less about giving something up and more about adding something — specifically, adding a little more time with the Lord.
Across the Archdiocese of Detroit, numerous parishes offer chances for Eucharistic adoration, particularly exposed adoration, where people can take the time to tune out the outside world and tune in with the Lord.
Veronica Berryman of Our Lady of the Scapular Parish in Wyandotte said she has gone to Eucharistic adoration almost every day since 2003, looking for a way to feel closer to the Lord.
"I just feel that closeness when I'm with the Blessed Sacrament, a calling that He's there," Berryman said. "I've gone so much that I feel it is part of my life now. With that closeness, I feel I've had miracles happen to me."
Our Lady of the Scapular Parish has a Eucharistic chapel open 24/7, with a person needing a code supplied by the parish to access the chapel. Berryman said the Eucharist is not always exposed, but those interested can ask the parish office when the sacrament will be exposed.
For those living in Macomb County, St. Peter Parish in Mt. Clemens was an early adopter of Eucharistic adoration, according to parishioner Gertrude Schweder.
Schweder started going to Eucharistic adoration when she had a job and worked overtime, fearing she couldn't always commit to a select time week to week.
"I first thought, I don't want to volunteer to something I couldn't fulfill," Schweder said. "So I just stopped in when I was driving home from work. It got to the point I was doing it once a week, and now, I'm committed."
For those worried they don't have time for Eucharistic adoration or can't make it part of their Lenten routine, Schweder advised trying to go for 10 or 15 minutes sometime in the week.
"I started out a little slow, just to try it out, so to speak," Schweder said. "I find you get more out of it than you are putting in. Spending time with Christ, present in the Eucharist, gives you a feeling of confidence."
Times and access to adoration varies from parish to parish, so those interested in Eucharistic adoration are advised to call their parish and ask what's offered and what time slots are available. Some parishes have organized groups with allotted times for devotees, while other parishes have more "open door" adoration sessions.
Old St. Mary's Parish in Greektown in downtown Detroit offers Eucharistic adoration on Fridays following the 12:15 p.m. Mass, from 12:45 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., a great opportunity for those who work downtown.
"We started having Eucharistic adoration for about two years now this summer," Old St. Mary's parishioner Michael Campeau said. "Now that we're doing it every week, we have about 15 to 30 people who go, do a Holy Hour of reparation."
Campeau said many people who go to adoration are not St. Mary's parishioners, but use the parish's downtown location to take some time to spend with the Lord.
"You have to have that love for him, that unquestionable love and knowing in your heart He is there," Campeau said. "And if you continue to go, you will truly believe that He is there, in your heart. For those interested, I would tell people, go with an open heart and open mind, and just believe."
Fellow St. Mary's parishioner Barbara Glamb and her husband, Victor, also attend weekly adoration, adding it's become another avenue for encountering Christ.
"We've gone to adoration for a year, and it helps us have a prayer life together," Glamb said. "I can't see, I'm blind, when I go to adoration, (but) I feel that He sees me. I can't see with my eyes, but I see Him with my heart."
Eucharistic adoration is also available for the night owls. At St. Joseph Parish in Lake Orion, the chapel is open 24/7 — with an after-hours access code — for those who would like to spend time with the Lord in the more "unconventional" hours.
"I feel an incredible closeness to our Lord, and incredible appreciation of the true Presence," said St. Joseph parishioner Gemma Falvey. "Our adoration chapel in open 24/7, for anyone who wants to start going to the chapel. They don't have to make a major commitment of an hour. They can go for five minutes. Start with a time that works best with you, and you'll be amazed what the Lord can do for you if you spend time with Him."

Dear man who complemented me on my dress on 1st street,
I know the act of complementing a woman on her outfit seems rather harmless and arbitrary in of itself.
You were going about your day, and decided to compliment a pretty girl by telling her you liked her dress. Harmless, right? And the fact that she ignored you means she's just a stuck-up bitch, of course.
I know you were quite miffed at the fact that I ignored you, as evident by your choice to then shout at me from the Dairy Mart parking lot.
I had chosen to wear a dress that is above the knee in public and therefore I should expect attention, right?
But I am writing this letter to explain that you, and men like you, need to know that these supposed compliments are not randomly harmless. They are a form of sexual harassment. Yes, of course, you can argue that you were just paying me a compliment on what I was wearing, but believe me, there's more to it than that. And yes, on the list of things said to me by random men on the street, this doesn't rank highly. But any harassment is not okay.
The thing is, I knew from the tone of your voice that it was not my dress that you were commenting on. It's really just an okay dress, plain black racerback, knit material, and it falls just above my knee. It's really nothing special. What I knew you were actually saying was that you liked my body IN the dress, how it showed my shoulders, and draped loosely over my very curvy hips and butt, but not so loosely that it didn't compliment their shape.
I had debated wearing the dress before I left the house, because wearing any kind of dress by myself outside makes me anxious. But it was the first day of summer, a gorgeous sunny Saturday afternoon, and I wanted to walk a few blocks to the coffee shop and sit outside in the breeze to read my book and sip an iced drink. I just got the dress, and it's quite comfy and cute, seemed perfect for a summer day.
I always have to think and strategize what I wear outside, as a woman. If I'm walking alone, sometimes I'll wear one thing, if I'm going with a male, I'll wear something else, if I'm going with a lady friend, it's perhaps a different outfit.
But even all this strategizing sometimes has little effect on the outcome. I am still a target when I walk in public, even covered head-to-toe. I have been harassed an incredible number of times in my life (and also threatened and attacked)… the first time I was harassed was at the age of 4 (I'm not kidding.) So I've tried lots of different sorts of outfits and been able to test their effectiveness of making me feel safe or not. And I never, ever, walk by myself at night. I could be wearing clothing that has the same coverage of a burka and I'd still be putting myself in harms way, believe me, I've tried it many times. I'm lucky to still be alive.
I've gone through times when I'd wear whatever I wanted in public, riding buses in Oakland in mini skirts, feeling confident and sassy, my pepper spray tucked in my purse, comments and stares be dammed. Then, I've gone through other periods, where perhaps a particular encounter with a random man had scared me to the core, and those times I feel like wearing a trash bag, I wrap myself in dowdy clothes and try to fold into myself while in public. But, even then, I've found that I still get harassed. Wearing that baggy outfit that's covered in cat fur can't save me from men like you… because it's not about my outfit, really. It's about power. It's about socialization and how men and women act in the public sphere.
When a man came up from behind me and put me in a choke hold at 8am on a Monday morning in 2001, I was wearing pants and a loose t-shirt. I screamed, and no one acted like they heard me, even though I was on a main street.
So, I figure, why not just wear the dress I want to wear?
Some terrible sexual harassment actually happens in Egypt, where women wear a lot of clothing, so clothing isn't actually the main issue.
Walking to the coffee shop, I even purposefully avoided the main street for as long as I could (as I always do while walking alone in any outfit). I took the back streets through my neighborhood, which was actually a far more beautiful walk, everyone's gardens are in full bloom this time of year. Even there, in this lovely lush green wonderland, I have to focus on calming my anxiety about walking by myself. PTSD is a bitch.
Walking in public as a woman often feels to me like a scene from some nature show, where the little gazelle is approaching the watering hole. She's so thirsty, but she knows watering holes are a dangerous place, there could be a lion waiting in the brush, ready to leap out at her. So she creeps to the water's edge stealthily, her eyes are wide and panoramic, her ears twitching, looking for any tiny sign of movement, ready to bolt. I am a woman and I have lived my whole life in a sea of potential predators. I hate thinking of men this way, but it's due to life experience, sadly. And this alertness and mistrust has, actually, saved me from getting attacked at the watering hole many times over.
Then that day I cut up to the main street, which I had to cross to get to the coffee shop. It's a busy thoroughfare, and it took me a moment to be able to find a break in the traffic. As I got to the end of the crosswalk, I saw you approach coming the opposite way on your bike. You had to pause while I crossed, and I knew that situation was ripe for you to linger and take in my shape and notice my aloneness.
As I said, I've been harassed by men countless times. I've gotten to the point where I can sense when a man will harass me even before it comes out of his mouth. So every time my inner alarm starts to sound around a man, I always try to will him not to do it… I think "don't harass me man, don't do it…" And then, of course, they almost always do.
So I knew you were going to harass me even before you did. And that, really, made it all the more irritating, because I was quite disappointed in you.
"Hey, I really like your dress…"
Now, you may wonder why I didn't just thank you for telling me my dress was pretty. This is a conundrum I've often faced. It depends on my mood how I'll respond to men like you, and I've also found that it really doesn't matter, because either way it could go wrong.
Your tone was creepy, and I knew it was my body you were commenting on, not my dress. I've responded with a "thanks" to comments like this before, just to try to deflect the perv.
But, if I say thanks, that can be seen as an invitation to keep talking to me or to follow me. I'd like to skip that annoying and potentially dangerous interaction if at all possible. Having to shake you off is even harder than just not engaging in the first place.
If I say nothing, that can be seen as an affront. But often silence deflects. Not always though.
I'm not really the one in control there, which is the entire point of harassment. It can escalate because of any little thing. Heck, I've been chased and threatened by men I didn't even know were there 2 seconds before. So no, I know it wouldn't have mattered if I'd acknowledged you or not.
This time, you were offended by my silence, as if I was obligated to engage with you. I am not obligated to do so. So you yelled aggressively "I could have at least gotten a smile!" from the parking lot of the Dairy Mart.
No, I will not smile at men like you.
I love smiling, I'd love to skip down the sidewalk in my pretty dress and smile at everyone who passes by. My prickly exterior has been layered on my skin from years of abuse. I want so bad to take it off. But I won't, because I don't feel safe. Because of men like you.
Your comment shattered the secure, calm feeling I was trying to cultivate while walking to the coffee shop. These comments are not compliments, they effect a woman's whole experience while walking outside. My senses became heightened again, I hoped you wouldn't follow me on your bike, which you luckily didn't.
The story of an acquaintance's experience popped in my head. She ignored a harasser on the bus recently and he followed her home and beat her up in her own front yard. All cuz she didn't smile at him when he wanted her to.
I sat outside the coffee shop and enjoyed my iced coffee and read my book, "Savage Beauty" (I totally covered up the title of that one while I was walking, didn't want it to elicit any comments from anyone) the biography of Edna St. Vincent Milay, an amazing, brazen, intelligent writer. Edna wouldn't put up with shit like this either.
I enjoyed my afternoon at the coffee shop, my icy drink and book and cigar. You didn't ruin that for me, I'm used to finding joy even in unsafe places, I'm a veteran of this war.
Walking home, I cut a different direction, avoiding the Dairy Mart, as I've figured that's probably not a good place to walk by alone, too many random men getting beers and smokes in the afternoon. I tried to center and breathe while walking, doing my metta meditation:
"May I be free from danger
May I have mental happiness
May I have physical happiness
May I have ease in living."
I tried not to tense when I saw any other men or cars pass by. But I did a little anyway.
Experiences like these won't keep me from wearing dresses when it's hot (I will not swelter in a muumuu when it's 80 degrees outside) or keep me from taking walks by myself.
