Mary J Blige Says, "She Looked Like An Ugly Animal"; Admits To Self Hatred
I love Mary J Blige to pieces, mostly because she's so honest about her struggles, so that others won't make the same mistakes. In a recent interview in Australia, Mary J Blige admits that she used drugs to cope with her insecurities of feeling ugly and looking like animals. She compares her face to that of a camel, a squirrel, and a bird. She talks about how those insecurities lead her to a physically abusive relationship with singer K-Ci of Jodeci, and she also sympathizes with Rihanna and Chris Brown. Last but not least she talks about self-hatred and learning to love yourself.
Read More
"I used to think I was ugly," she said. "I thought I looked like a camel. A person who doesn't love themselves, they will see anything that pops up on their face. I've seen squirrels, I've seen a bird, I've seen all kinds of animals on my face. But that is the result of self-hate. I've learned to say: 'You know what? I am a beautiful black woman'.
"I beat alcohol dependence and drug addiction. A lot happened to me during my childhood.
LeBron James Tried To Act Hard, But His Feelings Were Hurt
During last night's most anticipated NBA game, LeBron James attempted to reach out to former teammate Mo Williams, only to receive a cold shoulder. I understand James not owing loyalty to his coach or the NBA establishment, but he forgot about his teammates– the ones that were also in the trenches with him. I guess James assumed his ex-teammates would be supportive and understand, but he assumed wrong. Check out LeBron James trying to say hello to his old friend Mo Williams, and check out the response. You can tell this Mo's reaction stung just a little. OUCH!
You can see LeBron James mouthed "alright then"…It's time for Cleveland to move on, the divorce is final, LeBron James has another woman. She may not be cuter, but he's with her now.Read More
Eva Longoria & Tony Parker Eating Lunch Together After Divorce
That's something you don't see often during celebrity divorces, especially when there are no kids involved. BUT, Tony Parker and Eva Longoria were spotted dining together at a LA Hotel, while Tony was in town for a game against the Clippers. I guess the two are trying to work things out amicably. If rumors are true that he cheated several times, I am not sure why anything needs to be worked out face to face. You cheated, I want alimony…THE END!!!

What's Wrong With Chelsea Handler's Humor? Is She Even Funny?
I don't know what it is about Chelsea Handler, but her humor rubs me the wrong way. I cannot watch her show because her humor is so borderline offensive that most of the time I find it more offensive than funny, especially her jokes on race. The way she throws herself at every black male entertainer that comes on the show, doesn't help either. So in her latest attempt at humor, Handler goes after Cee-Lo Green, and claims to have been with his brother the security guard in order to get Cee-Lo on the show.
"I like to let black men slap me on the ass when they come on the show," she joked. "I thought I was being nice to him and it would maybe help me get you on the show."
Maybe it's just me, but it's not funny. Check out the whole clip, plus Cee-Lo Green's reaction and let me know what you think.Read More

Kristen Stewart teams up with Ben Affleck in sexy comedy 'Focus'
Kristen Stewart has opted for a major change of pace now that she's done with "The Twilight Saga." The actress has taken her time deciding the next movie she'll star in, and it turns out that she's settled on the comedy caper "Focus" that stars Ben Affleck.
"I can confirm that rumor," Stewart tells The Huffington Post about the movie. "It's a comedy. I'm really excited about it. We start shooting in April."
Though the movie follows Stewart as "an inexperienced con artist who hooks up with the more seasoned Affleck" according to Deadline, it turns out that the costars will have some hot and heavy scenes as well. Hollywood Life reports that there's lots of "passionate" kissing between Stewart and Affleck's characters and that there's a scene where they're in bed together after having sex. As this casting rumor has been circling for a while, Affleck previously praised Stewart on her acting abilities.
"I'm hesitant to get into casting stuff because I don't know what's finished or isn't because people come in and out of things all the time, but [Kristen's] terrific and hopefully it will work out," Affleck recently told E! News.

Freeze Your Herbs!
Preserve fresh herbs by freezing them into ice cubes.
How to Preserve your Herbs by Making Herb Ice Cubes
Nothing is nicer for soups and sauces than fresh herbs. Now you can add parsely, basil, mint and other tasty green herbs to your dishes all year round. When you've picked a nice big bunch of green herb, make a "smoothie" in your blender of the herbs and water. Then pour into ice cube trays and freeze. Just drop a cube or two into your favorite sauce or soup as it simmers to add a flavorful, fresh herb taste.
Pick a bunch of parsley or other herb. Rinse clean. No need to dry it.
Fill blender with herb. Add a 1/2 cup or so of water.
Push the button and watch your mixture blend into an herb smoothie.
Pour the blended herbs into ice cube trays.
A full blender will fill two trays. Place into freezer.
Store herb cubes in the trays, or empty into ziploc bags, perhaps two to a snack-size bag, ready to use as needed.
While your sauce, soup or stew is simmering, drop in a couple of cubes for a fresh and tasty green herb addition!

Homemade Nutella
4 comments | Leave Comment
Homemade Nutella
I set out to make parve kosher for passover nutella last Passover because I always thought it would be heaven spread on matzah and it was. But it is just after Sukkos now and I wanted to make it again but I can't remember what I did. So I started from scratch and this version was excellent also. What I am learning is take some hazelnuts, grind them fine and mix in some chocolate and sugar and you can't really go wrong.
- Ready Time : 0 min
- 1 cup hazelnuts
- 6 ounce chocolate chips or chocolate bar chopped
- 1 tablespoon oil (preferably peanut or hazelnut or walnut)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons agave
- pinch salt
Start by toasting the nuts. Preheat oven to 350° F. Place hazelnuts in a single layer on a shallow baking pan. Toast until the skins are almost black and the meat is dark brown, about 15 minutes. To get rid of the bitter skins, wrap the cooled hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Rub until most of the skins come off, but don't worry if some remain. If you buy them skinless then just toast them.
Process nuts in a food processor, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until they look like peanut butter, about 5 minutes.
In the meantime, place chocolate in bowl with oil and microwave for about 1 minute, remove and stir until fully mixed and smooth. Add the agave and the vanilla and the salt to the chocolate. Then pour the whole thing into the food processor. Process until smooth, if it is not as spreadable as you prefer then add more oil to reach desired consistency.
Transfer the spread to an airtight container, and store in the refrigerator for 1-2 months. For best results, stir the chocolate-hazelnut spread before using.
Serving size – 1 tablespoon.

COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Though Columbia CityŌĆÖs boys and girls swim teams didnŌĆÖt have a state-title, stand-out season ŌĆö there was much to highlight about the small squadŌĆÖs performance this year.
Eagle head coach Kristen Swonger, who is stepping down after this season, said every swimmer broke their personal record at least once, and some swam new events for the first time.
With only 11 girls and 12 boys on the team, winning many meets posed big challenge for the Eagles.
ŌĆ£We had no idea what was going to happen,ŌĆØ Swonger said.
But Columbia City persevered, winning a combined 11 meets and an overall 11-10 record for both teams.
ŌĆ£It turned out better than IŌĆÖd expected,ŌĆØ Swonger said.

CEDAR RAPIDS – Some Linn County voters are likely saying a few prayers about the gambling decision they're facing.
On Saturday, however, a steady flow of voters walked through the doors of the Islamic Center, not to pray but to vote. They said they didn't need to wait until the March 5 referendum to make up their minds.
The Islamic Center was the first satellite voting location to open for the special election.
"People who want to organize and get people out to vote sometimes petition us for satellite locations and all it takes is 100 signatures to designate a place as a satellite voting place before the election," said Linn County Auditor Joel Miller. "That's what some people did here at the Islamic Center."
The center was the only congregation to petition to become a satellite voting location. Back in 2003, when Linn County faced a similar gambling vote, three churches made the request.
Everyone had their own reason for stopping by the Islamic Center to cast a ballot. Cynthia Gardner voted in favor of the new casino, and she said her mother inspired her decision.
"I actually voted 'no' last time and in the years intervening, I've gone with my mother," Gardner said. "It's a place where she can go and feel safe."
Dozens of members of the Muslim community also showed up to vote. They felt comfortable at their own worship center.
Yehya Abdullah said the congregation would never persuade anyone to vote a certain way. For them, however, gambling is strictly forbidden.
"I think you are going to get more Muslims turning out to vote and because of that, you'll get more of a negative vote on the casino," Abdullah said.
According to Miller, any place of worship can petition to become a satellite voting location, whatever their beliefs may be. Miller says in 2003, the auditor's office allowed satellite voting after the main weekly service. That's a big change this time around because he believes that crosses the line.
"I don't know what a worship leader is going to say during the service, and I don't think it would be appropriate to have someone take a particular stand on an issue, or if there were other candidates on the ballot," Miller said. "That's just not appropriate way to do things."
The main day of worship at the Islamic Center is Friday, which is why Miller said Saturday worked for the early voting.
Overall, election workers cited a good, steady voter turnout at the first satellite location.

ARTISTS AND VOTERS FAIR-Andrew Stelzer
With today being the last day to register to vote in Florida, there were voters registration drives throughout the state this weekend, one of which was the artists and voters festival and ball. Held on Saturday at the Cuban club in Ybor city, a nighttime costume ball served as the fundraising part of the event with the goal of raising awareness about the candidates, and the need to register to vote before the deadline, which is 8pm tonight. WMNFââ¬â¢s Andrew Stelzer has more
The event featured candidates for local, state and national offices, and non-partisan groups hoping to educate the public about how to be an informed voter.
WMNF spoke to several members of the young voter alliance, who were registering voters at the festival, to find out why--- young people are not typically involved in the political process in the United States.
Una Fessenden volunteers with project vote smart, an organization that provides information on the voting record of every candidate, and a rating of what issues they support, as determined by advocacy organization, both right and left wing.
ACT ââ¬ËThis is a tool for me because I want to be informed..but I don't have to be one issue voter, heââ¬â¢s against gun control, itââ¬â¢s laid out..no its not gonna have all the nuances, how can we.
Sheree Hopkins, one of the organizers of the young voter alliance, says that when people understand all the sacrifices, which have been in the struggle for people to gain the right to vote. they then see why its important to vote.
ACT ââ¬Â¦most politicians are twice their age.ââ¬?
The deadline to register to vote is tonight at 9pmââ¬âthatââ¬â¢s at the county center downtown on Kennedy Boulevard in the elections supervisors office on the 16th floor

Yonder isn't as important as hits to Alonsonew padres first baseman likes petco's grasslands
Lots of room for Alonso's 'line-to-line' hitting
Yonder, as in "off we go into the wild blue ...," would seemingly be the perfect name for a slugger.
But when new Padres first baseman Yonder Alonso speaks of hitting, he doesn't talk in terms of the long ball.
"I am not thinking 40 or 50 home runs when I'm thinking about hitting," Alonso said this week at Petco Park.
"A lot of left-handed hitters and first basemen are thinking home runs. That's not the type of left-handed hitter I am.
"When I look at Petco Park, I don't see how far away the fences are. I see a lot of grass. I feel like this ballpark likes the kind of hitter I am."
A line-drive hitter. A foul line-to-foul line, line-drive hitter.
"First thing with me is put the ball in play," Alonso said. "Hit it hard. Level it. I want good at-bats."
Thinking like that is much of the reason why the Padres preferred Alonso over Anthony Rizzo when deciding their first baseman of the future.
The 22-year-old Rizzo probably has more power in his swing than Alonso, as displayed by Rizzo's 26 homers in 93 games with Triple-A Tucson last season. But Rizzo also struck out 89 times in 356 at-bats with Tucson and 46 times in 128 at-bats with the Padres while hitting .141.
That's one strikeout every 2¾ at-bats as a Padre and one every four at-bats in Triple-A.
Alonso has struck out only once every 6.3 at-bats during 192 games over the past two years at Triple-A and once every 4.1 at-bats in 127 at-bats over the past two seasons with the Reds. As a major leaguer, Alonso has hit .299 with five homers and 18 RBI and hit .330 with five homers in 88 at-bats last season with a .398 on-base percentage.
The final grade is still out. On MLB.com's list of 100 top prospects, Rizzo was judged to be No. 37 while the 6-foot-2, 240-pound Alonso, who turns 25 on April 8, is rated No. 39.
But the Padres like Alonso.
"I really like the approach," manager Bud Black said of Alonso during the Padres' three-day, voluntary introduction program for recently acquired players and top prospects.
"He looks good, just as advertised. Everything I've seen validates the reports that he's a line-to-line hitter. The ball comes off his bat."
Alonso believes he will be a better hitter at Petco Park than he was at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.
"The fences are closer in Cincinnati," reasoned Alonso. "The outfielders are packed into a smaller space. A lot of balls in the gaps get caught. There isn't nearly as much grass in Cincinnati as there is here.
"I believe my style will play well here. You can get just as many RBI with a high average with runners in scoring position. And I love hitting in RBI situations.
"I'd rather be at a field where I can get my hits than get a homer. Coming here doesn't change my game."

WEST MELBOURNE, FL - April 20, 2011 - American WeatherStar recently announced the second recipient of the 2011 "Spotlight On Excellence" as the Healthcare Facility, West Melbourne FL, which was recently completed by Southeastern Coatings & Waterproofing. Southeastern Coatings & Waterproofing installed American Weatherstar's Elastomeric Coatings and TPO Single-Ply System to a 48,000 square foot Healthcare Facility. The job was sponsored by PFRI Services, Rick Napper.
This project in West Melbourne, Florida brought a unique opportunity to Southeastern Coatings. David Anderson, with SEC, has worked with this client, a healthcare facility owner for several years. SEC has installed several of American WeatherStar's coating systems on roofing projects throughout Florida. After an infrared scan by PFRI Services, this roof assembly was determined to have moisture in approximately 50% of its insulation, which would require a tear-off. Southeastern Coatings has been applying roof coatings for ten years, but a tear-off and re-roof is outside of their expertise.
To assist in this project, Southeastern brought in another American WeatherStar Dealer, Bruce Goodman's company, Simonelli Brice in Orlando. Simonelli Brice specializes in single-ply TPO installation. Bruce helped design the process to tear-off the wet areas of Modified Bitumen, install a tapered ISO insulation system to remove ponding areas and install AWS 60 mil TPO fully adhered to the insulation board. The specs had to meet Florida state guidelines for wind uplift plus follow code to mechanically remove ponding water from the new TPO.
As the TPO crew completed their portion of the project replacement, Southeastern Coatings' crew came in and installed the AWS urethane coating system on the other 50% of the roof where moisture content was not an issue. The coating system consists of a base coat and two top coats. This coating is also bright white like the TPO and holds up well even under ponding water.
The benefit of this hybrid system to the building owner is Southeastern Coatings' ability to offer a substantial savings in portions of the roof assembly where a coating system was appropriate while having the wet areas removed and replaced with our TPO membrane. We were able to offer the customer a complete Labor and Material Warranty from American WeatherStar for their 48,000 sq. ft. facility.
Southeastern Coatings, an independent dealer of American WeatherStar Roofing Products, is based out of Lake City, Florida. For more information, call toll free at 1-888-289-3437 or visit one of the links below.

This New Year's, make a resolution to take advantage of the amazing, and effective, array of small business marketing opportunities that are available online. If you are a relatively new company, there is a probably a good chance that you have not had the time to focus on how to best utilize the internet to increase your customer base and brand recognition. You have most likely been focused on getting your physical business up and running, making sure that you are operating legally, hiring staff, and handling the first round of orders. This is understandable. However, now is the time to focus a portion of your energy on growing your business, at a minimum of expense, by using the internet to help you.
Working with an affordable SEO service can insure that the potential clients who are most interested in your products find you. A content marketing service can increase traffic to your site, and help you reach a wider audience than is possible when marketing on your own. That New Year's resolution you made to take advantage of all the internet has to offer, is also a resolution to increase your business' profits, fiscal stability, and popularity. That kind of resolution should be very easy to make.

Principals Message
In 2000, the original King-Chavez school, King-Chavez Academy of Excellence, was born out of community need in the Logan Heights neighborhood of San Diego. The local public schools were failing as safe, culturally responsive places of learning. Options for students in grade 6 were especially limited; many children were bused out of the neighborhood every day.
Our school engaged both its staff and the community in its mission: to "seek excellence in academics, arts, and athletics from the foundation of love." This sense of purpose manifested itself in concrete ways. During the first year of operation, no staff member called in sick; turnout at our parent events averaged 90% or higher. The community took notice. The school opened with 75 students from grades K-5. By the third year, we had over 300 students and the school was the most improved school in San Diego County as measured by the Academic Performance Index (API).
Our original vision called for making a quality King-Chavez education available for all the children in the neighborhood from grades Pre K-12. King-Chavez Academy of Excellence expanded to grades 7 and 8, and looked to add a King-Chavez High School with all deliberate speed. However, there was an educational crisis in the community that needed to be addressed first. King Elementary, a district school, was on the verge of being shut down due to poor performance. Parents started a grassroots signature drive to convert to charter, and looked to replicate the success of King-Chavez Academy of Excellence.
In 2005, King Elementary was restructured under No Child Left Behind as three smaller King-Chavez Academies: Primary, Arts, and Athletics. The dividends were immediate. The schools inherited an API score of 559 at the time of reconstitution, which grew by over 100 points during the first year and has exceeded 800 in subsequent years. These gains have received national recognition.
The King-Chavez Athletics Academy believes that strengthening the body goes hand-in-hand with developing the mind. In the community we serve, this need is particularly acute. While 16% of all 6-11 year olds are obese, that rate climbs to 25.6% for Mexican-American boys. Health risks include Type 2 diabetes, low self-esteem, respiratory problems, and bullying. Our response is to provide daily, quality physical education. The state minimum is 200 minutes of exercise every 10 days; we provide 400 minutes. We also built a state-of-the-art Fitness Arcade that blends technology, gaming, and movement to engage kids and develop good health habits.
It is also important to expose children to a variety of experiences. We have developed relationships with other community-minded organizations that allow our children to broaden their horizons. Opportunities include the Bridge to the Beach swimming/surfing program, a league-based soccer team, and YMCA swimming.
While both the physical and the mental components are essential, it is only possible to reach these levels of academic achievement through nurturing the spirit. Our teachers invest in building relationships with families. Home visits are a key component of our program. We also employ community people whenever possible and have a strong family outreach and counselling program.
Our founding staff members came from many walks of life, and were bound together by a sense of purpose and mission. While our founding Principal, Dr. Brian French, has since decided to pursue a career in medicine, many of our original teachers are still at King-Chavez in leadership positions. We continue to hire strong, committed educators by not compromising our standards. Our hiring process is thorough, with at least 3 interviews and a mock lesson observation. While no system is perfect, we believe that our students deserve the best. This is why we invest in support teachers as well as our contained classroom staff; our support teachers are fully credentialed and ready for the opportunity to teach their own classes.
The original dream of a KC education from grades Pre K-12 has become a reality with the addition of King-Chavez Community High School, Preschool, and Preparatory Academies. We are preparing our graduates for the broader world through the use of innovative teaching techniques, with a focus on project-based learning and educational technology. As we look toward the future, we are confident in our students' success.

Here's a large-scale model I made of a 555 timer IC (about 10x scale). The body is made in two halves, so the top can be lifted off to reveal the "die" inside. The body is made from ¾" MDF, cut on a fretsaw with a tilted table to get the relief angle and then routed on the CNC router to make recesses for the legs and die. The die itself is a bit of etched PCB, and the design is copied from this photo of a postage stamp I found online. Top and bottom halves are located with a couple of brass pins and are held together with four rare-earth magnets at the corners.
After priming, the wood was given a couple of coats of Japlac black enamel. The legs are 1/8" aluminium - a bit thick for this scale, but they look pretty good. The text and logo on the top is done in sign vinyl, cut on my little Craft Robo vinyl cutter. Apologies to ST for nicking their logo!

I had the idea of making an even bigger model, perhaps even in the form of a footstool, but never quite got around to it. Then, lo and behold, I came across the beautiful footstool that EMSL had made! It's really well built - check it out here http://www.evilmadscientist.com/2011/555-footstool/. Guess I need to think up some other large component to make!
Also see the large resistor model I made later.

this is what it looks like when I'm sick
True confession: I got sick on Tuesday. I did yoga and worked out with my tennis team from 8-11 after waking up feeling a little weird and weak. I went home and took colloidal silver, with some powdered Vitamin C mixed in, every few hours. I texted my massage therapist Kortni, who fit me in […]4 Comments • Continue Reading →

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In After Effects CS5 Essential Training, author Chad Perkins discusses the basic tools, effects, and need-to-know techniques in Adobe After Effects CS5, the professional standard for motion graphics, compositing, and visual effects for video. The course provides an overview of the entire workflow, from import to export, as well as detailed coverage of each stage, including animating text and artwork, adding effects to compositions, working in 3D, and rendering and compressing footage. Exercise files are included with the course.
So, we want to apply some effects; however, we cannot do that in this project, because we have nothing to apply the effect to. So, I'm starting here in a blank, fresh project. Go ahead and make a new composition by clicking this icon here. When this comes up, we'll go ahead and change the preset. Just go ahead and go to NTSC DV. This is Standard Definition, which is quickly going out of style, but for right now, I'm just going to go ahead and click OK. That creates a composition for us. But notice there are no layers in our composition, and you need a layer to apply effects to.
Oftentimes, you don't want to apply the effect directly to an important layer. Let's say you have some video or something. If you put the effect on that layer, as we'll see, then it will completely replace the contents of that layer. So, what we need to do is come down here to a blank area of the Timeline panel and right-click and go to New. Now, we're going to create a different type of layer. From this New flyout menu, below this divider line anyways, we can create different types of layers. We can create a Shape layer, Camera, a Light, a Solid.
We're going to talk about all of these as we go through this training series, but for now, I'm going to click Solid. That will create a new Solid layer. Now a Solid is simply an area of pixels. That's all it is, basically, a dummy layer or an area of color. So, I can click this little swatch here, and I could click in the color picker. I could drag up and down here to change the hue, and then as we go to the right, we increase saturation. We go the left. We decrease saturation. As we go up, we increase brightness; as we go down, we decrease brightness. Watch this.
This is a cool trick. As I move the colors around, you could see, dynamically, that the name of the Solid - if you don't choose to name it - it's automatically going to name it based on the color that you choose. So, as you move these color swatches around, it's pretty awesome like a box of crayons or something. It gets really specific about the colors that you're choosing, which is pretty fun. So, I'm going to go ahead and pick a color. It doesn't matter. Click OK. Click OK. Now we have a solid layer. You'll notice, as I open this up, it has its own set of Transform properties, and just like with the regular layer, we have a bounding box.
These little dots are kind of like indicating the outside boundaries of the layer. We could click on this to rescale the layer, just like with a regular layer. So, we can make this smaller if we wanted to. We could make it spin around. We could use these for geometric shapes, not just for effects but anything. I find that I use solids all the time in my work, and you probably will as well no matter what you're doing. Alternatively, you can go to the Layer menu at the top of the screen and go to Layer > New, whatever, whatever, choose the Solid. The keyboard shortcut, by the way, is Ctrl+Y, Command+Y. I don't know if you'll be using Solids as much as I do, but that's one of those keyboards shortcuts I have memorized, because I use it so frequently.
So, moving along now. Now that we have a Solid, a layer to apply effects to, it's time to apply effects, which we'll look at in the next movie.

My boyfriend can't come when I give him a blow job, what am I doing wrong?
So I have been with a few guys and only had sex with one. I have never gave a blowjob before, so I went online to websites for some tips. Tried them... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Maybe his little mind has been warped from years of p*rn viewing and the only thing that really turns him on is anal. I do have trouble having an orgasm from oral myself but when you say your guy always wants anal it tells me p*rn warped his mind. Throw him out and find yourself a man that isn't so jaded by p*rn.
What Guys Said 10
weird. kinda hard to mess up a bj unless you're biting. just be creative. what I do when I eat girls out is try to spell things out on her clit with my tongue. maybe that works on guys' d***s idk.
if you get really good he'll be able to translate what you wrote with your tongue cause all guys think with their d***s.
just tease him til he's nice and hard and talk to him about it. ask him what feels and what didn't and practice deep throating. I love when my girl blows me. as for him doing anal, talk to him that you don't like it and tell him about your needs and if he doesn't understand then find a new man
What Girls Said 7
How much time are you spending on giving him a blowjob?
Mmm...and you're trying a variety of things? Using suction, licking up the bottom vein, gently playing with his balls, etc.? That is a bit strange. Does he seem like he enjoys it at all and just doesn't come, or does he just sit there?
You are doing something wrong:
First, get your mind straight. Just because it's called a "blow job" doesn't mean you should view it as a job. He can see it on your face if you don't enjoy sucking on his "friend" – and that's NOT the attitude you want to convey. You have to love his cock.
It's all about preparation. Make every blowjob one of a kind, unique, memorable. How do you prepare? Candles, good lights, music, some wine, fix up the atmosphere, spice it up. Look good. Make it special.
Throw him in the couch. Seductively, naughtily, with a sexy smile on your face. Look at him with fascination. You slowly get on your knees in front of him, unzip and take his pants off. Make a happy, surprised look – as if you just saw your favorite ice cream, and you are starving to death.
Men are visual. Pull your hair back, so that he can see you completely and enjoy the view. Massage his legs seductively, get closer to his cock. Before it grows large, put the entire thing in your warm, wet mouth – moan with pleasure. Slowly suck on his **** as it grows large in your dripping wet mouth.
A few "aaahs" and "mmms" are essential. There's nothing better than the magic words when giving a blow job. No BJ is perfect without the right words entering his ear. Compliment him, tell him how much you love His **** in your mouth. Use your hands. Combine fast and slow strokes. Be his p*rn star, not a nun.
When you get tired, rest your mouth, stroke him. Be his "slut", be dirty, sexual – free. Do whatever you want to do. He won't think you're a slut if you swallow, on the contrary – he'll love you for it. So get dirty and slut it up.
Speed it up as you come to the finish. Involve his balls in the game. A perfect blowjob isn't just with your mouth. Use your whole body. Let him see your sexy ass, thongs, a sexy necklace. The way to turn him on is by being turned on by yourself. You have to feel sexy in your body. It's all about positioning.
Tickle his balls, lick them and suck on them gently. Use your sexy nails to drive him wild. Hold his shaft, lick it up and down sexily while looking him deep in the eyes.
Now you start pumping his **** faster. Fast, and short strokes. Pump, pump and pump some more. Moan louder, suck harder, stroke faster. And then – he starts shooting, and screaming, and popping his eyes out of his brain. Pull his **** out and pump it out gently. Open your mouth, show him what he gave you. Giggle. Then swallow all of it. Smile happily, give his **** a few more kisses and sucks – clean it up. ;) Of course – you can always get even better. I recommend you read Jack's Blowjob Lessons, probably the best book ever written about satisfying your guy sexually, by clicking on the link
I've given head to two guys; the first took a long time to come from sex but came quickly from a bj (this being the first time for both of us). The second is just not that into oral sex, even though it feels good.
So, I don't think you need any real help there. Just ask him to let you know what feels good, and if he's really even into it at all. If it's just not going to happen then it's not; a bj doesn't have to be until he finishes, just use it as foreplay and move on to bigger and better things.
As for the anal, I've never been there so can't help you. But perhaps he isn't finding sex entirely satisfying? Try some new positions and those tried and true kegels exercises - not to mention spontaneity. Lift up your skirt and pull your panties to the side - I'm in some state of dress when me and my boyfriend have sex probably 80% of the time because it's just more exciting to drop everything you're doing to make love right away. I think it excites him that I need him inside me so desperately there's no time for getting naked.
Sounds like he likes it tight :) the tighter it is the more turned on he gets so try giving him a tight hand job while blowing his d***. If he masturbates then you know you can squeeze his **** pretty hard without hurting him. You could also ask him to show you how he masturbates and participate with him that way you get an idea of how he likes it.
Maybe you're not acting naughty enough. You're not familiar with blow jobs, and it shows, I guess.. Have you tried to act like a p*rn star, look dirty , smile kinky and stuff like that? it's just confidence you need. and yea, also the tips those guys & girls gave you here about the technique. But since you said you read stuff on the internet..you shouldn't be facing this kind of problem. Tell you what: stop thinkin' like "oh, what am I going to do next? this, and then that, and then...". Just play. Act like you like it, if you don't like it. I personally hate it that you must act kinky but that's it. And if HE still continues with his anal sex stuff and he doesn't like your BJ...too much redtube. com for him :-)

Ridgway girls basketball is looking to go back to basics this upcoming season in an effort to help build the program back up from two straight 1-21 seasons.
New varsity head coach Stacy Kifer said the girls have been focusing on fundamentals and refining skills.
Ridgway gymnastics will feature a young team this season with only one senior on the roster.
Ridgway graduated five seniors from last year's team and move up seven freshmen to the varsity team.
"It's a little different this year graduating as many seniors as we had last year. We're extremely young. We're sporting only one senior, Emily Pierce," Ridgway coach Edna Maddalena said. "She's a returning state qualifier so that helps but she's our only senior. I have seven freshman that are new to gymnastics so that puts us at a very young stage but that's OK, they're learning quick."
JOHNSONBURG – Now in his eighth season at the helm of the Johnsonburg girls' varsity basketball program, Mike Zilkofski is looking for a little bit more this time around as his team prepares to storm the court.
"We're hoping for bigger and better things this year," Zilkofski said after posting a 13-10 mark last season and an early playoff exit Feb. 21 at East Forest. "It was a heartbreaker losing on the road to East Forest in the playoffs. They had a lot of seniors, a pretty good group there, and we just didn't play well."
New faces will be all around the Ridgway wrestling program this season.
First-year head coach David Fordoski takes over as the varsity head coach for Ridgway wrestling after the retirement of Gary Gerber this past winter from that post. Fordoski said the team may be limited in varsity starting experience but the team is full of wrestlers with an excitement and work ethic for the program.
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg wrestling enters this season with nine varsity wrestlers and a focus on winning more duals.
"As a team, our goal is to win half of our dual matches," Johnsonburg coach Mike Votano said. "Last year, we won two matches. I believe we have a few more numbers this year if we can stay healthy. Looking at other team's lineups, there's a chance we could win half of our dual matches, we set that as our team goal."
Johnsonburg starts with nine on the varsity level.
JOHNSONBURG – With a 2-7 season in the rear view mirror and the Johnsonburg varsity football program in serious jeopardy due to lack of player turnout and graduation, the current coaching staff paused Sunday for a season-ending banquet and paid tribute to the team's playmakers.
"Our seniors worked extremely hard in the summer and they were the heart and soul of this program," said Johnsonburg varsity football coach Jesse Schreiber. "They really wanted it and I was glad to be able to coach them."
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg football program celebrated the 2012 football season Sunday afternoon with a banquet and awards ceremony at the high school.
Johnsonburg varsity football coach Jesse Schreiber, who earlier this year earned his first varsity victory and followed it with a 13-12 win over rival Ridgway later in the season, paid tribute to his coaching staff, players, and several individuals working behind the scenes.
A year ago, Ridgway Area High School junior Angela DeAngelo took part in the school's powder puff game.
It piqued her interest for kicking with the varsity team and DeAngelo just completed her first season as the extra point kicker for the Ridgway Elkers.
Ridgway football was honored with a banquet Friday night at The Royal Inn.
Assistant coach Rick Viglione awarded the scholar-athlete award to Ridgway senior Joe Jaques.
Chet Gardner also honored the four seniors that have been with the Ridgway football program since they were nine years old and playing with the Rockets. Those four are Cortland Smith, Zac McKnight, Brett Himes and Logan Wickett.
BRADFORD – Port Allegany quarterback Matt Bodamer put on an impressive show Friday night as he rushed for 122 yards and threw for 309, leading the top-seeded and undefeated Gators to a 48-7 rout of the Elk County Catholic Crusaders in a District 9 semi-final contest at Parkway Field in Bradford.
The Gators led all the way, racking up a 21-0 lead before the Crusaders were able to score their lone touchdown midway through the second quarter. Port responded with 27 unanswered points in the second half to come away with the victory.

columnBy Chals Wontewe
Immediately after the coup of February 24, 1966, it was alleged that a lot of Kwame Nkrumah's seemingly previously trusted lieutenants deserted him, stabbed him in the back by denouncing him and making uncomplimentary comments about him.
In his book; Dark Days in Ghana, he himself lamented the cowardly attitude of some members of his government soon after the coup.
Commentators of the Nkrumah regime, including the celebrated Basil Davidson, have opined that he tried to implement a socialist programme without a cadre of socialists.
He himself must have been a committed socialist, not because he wore Mao style suits, but by his ideas and actions. It was doubted that many of his ministers and even high ranking party members understood, let alone believed in, socialism.
The history books have it that a number of Ghanaians, mostly elite, came together to form the United Gold Coast Convention, UGCC, in August 1947.
The party needed a full time committed Secretary General, as most members had their own businesses and could not give the party the amount of time needed to organise it. Nkrumah was invited to fill that position.
The same history books tell us that it was not long before Nkrumah and the UGCC parted ways; they found him too radical and he found them too conservative. The UGCC elitist leadership wanted independence, like Nkrumah, but they wanted to follow processes Nkrumah was impatient with.
He wanted independence even the previous day, if that had been possible, and could not be constrained by processes. He broke away and formed the Convention People' Party, CPP, in 1949.
The party was radically different from the UGCC. It was a mass party and fanned out across the country while the UGCC remained elitist and urban based. The strength of the CPP was in organisation.
In fact, two words became Nkrumah's rallying call, in Ghana and in Africa, organise and unite.
The term Veranda Boys was first used on CPP activists who moved round the country to share the gospel of the party and win converts, sleeping wherever possible during those travels.
The strength of the CPP was in organisation and the appropriateness of its message. It rallied ex-servicemen, traders, farmers and the youth behind it. In the elections of 1951, even though most of the leadership of the party was in prison, for the party's radical stance against the colonial administration, the party still won 34 of the 38 elected positions.
In the elections of 1954, the CPP won 71 of the 104 seats. Two years later, in the independence elections, the party again won 71 of the 104 seats, obtaining 57% of the votes.
In both years, 1954 and 1956, six parties contested the elections. I will limit myself to these elections as these were not organised under the CPP and so the issue of manipulation by the CPP which was alleged in subsequent elections, does not arise.
The CPP was one of the best organised parties on the continent by the early 1960s, with very strong women's and youth wings. It was a mass party that targeted almost every type of citizen - workers, farmers, housewives, traders, the youth etc.
The CPP was banned from contesting the elections of 1969 and most leading members were also disqualified to even contest the elections.
Even though Komla Agbeli Gbedemah's National Alliance of Liberals was seen as a successor of the CPP (with Gbedemah once serving as minister under Nkrumah), the wings of the party were badly clipped by what was described as targeted legislation it would have been a miracle for it to fly.
In 1979 the remnants of people believing or professing to believe in Nkrumah's ideology assembled under the People's National Party and contested the elections and won both majority in parliament (71 out of 140 seats) and the presidential elections after a second round.
Unfortunately, that has been the end of the glorious story of the proud structure Kwame Nkrumah broke away from the UGCC to found. The name Nkrumah still rings loud in the campaigns - and even non-campaign political discussions - by those who claim they are Nkrumaist.
But the vision and organizational competence of the founder of the party are clearly lacking in the inheritors of (or pretenders to) his legacy. After the 1979 elections, different factions have laid claim to being the successor of the CPP.
One of the key words of the original CPP and its founder, unity, is lost in the vocabulary of the factions and their leaders. If you spoke to them about organization they would most likely ask if it were an English word and if it were, what it meant.
In the 1992 elections four parties claiming Nkrumaist ideology, the National Independence Party, the National Convention Party, People's Heritage Party and the People's National Convention, contested, with the National Convention Party choosing not to field a presidential candidate, but go with the NDC.
The PNC's presidential candidate won only 6.7% of the votes. The NIP won 2.9% and the PHP won 1.8%. The results only got worse over time till this year. From 2000, none of the presidential candidates of the Nkrumaist parties ever got 3% of the votes, a crying shame.
But if none of the parties got 3% in previous elections, the votes obtained by the presidential candidates of all the Nkrumaist parties in 2012 were far less than 3%. The star performer in the group, Paa Kwesi Ndoum, got only 0.59%.
Does it not speak loudly of the extent to which this once great party has sunk if you consider the fact that even the joker in the pack, Hassan Ayariga, beat the CPP's Abu Forster?
Ndoum broke away from the CPP and formed his party in the election year, but he got more than three times the percentage and absolute number of votes that the CPP's presidential candidate got.
This year has been the revelation year for the Nkrumaist parties. The PNC still managed to secure one seat in Parliament but the CPP got nothing. Even Samia lost her seat in Nkrumah's hometown.
But prior to that, the CPP had secured its seats in Parliament most often because the NPP did not contest those seats and supported the CPP instead.
Many people still claim they are Nkrumaist because they had either been close to the party or were active in the Young Pioneers or were Nkrumaist in some other ways.
They stoutly defend his policies and many of them even think after Nkrumah no other leader has done anything good for Ghana. They want the party returned to power.
But none of them has shown any of the vision and organizational ability of Nkrumah. Many people will know who the NDC and NPP regional chairpersons in their regions are. But will not know who the chairpersons for the PNC and the CPP are. Structures of these two parties are dead on the ground.
In 2008, Paa Kwesi Ndoum mounted one of the most visible presidential campaigns, as he did last year. But without a viable nationwide structure to carry on the campaign after his 'mammoth' rallies, he obtained only 1.3% of the votes.
When a party gleans only 2% of votes in an election, and then sits idle for four years and expects a miracle to take its share of the votes in the next elections to over 50%, you will question the sanity of its leaders.
Most of the voters in the elections of these years were born after Nkrumah's overthrow. Many more were too young at the time of his overthrow to have known him well. Many voters were beginning to gain consciousness of their environment and take note of politics in those years when Nkrumah was given a bad name.
The responsibility falls on those who claim they know him intimately, or know and believe in his work, to package it and sell it. His name alone cannot produce the magic it produced when he was the Show Boy.
Yet, besides sit in studios and stand on platforms and condemn others and hallow the name of Nkrumah, very little has been done by the so-called Nkrumaists to sell his ideology and his party.
Opponents of Nkrumah who vilify him are not those who have shredded his proud legacy to tatters. It is those who claim they have inherited his legacy, Nkrumaism, but who have become urban based talk-show elites, who have gnawed the base of his legacy and caused it to crumble.
That his successors cannot even organize his party only convinces voters that Nkrumah died with his party. If you cannot even organize and develop a party successfully, voters will ask what skills you are going to use in developing the bigger and even more divided entity, the country.
Those who shout Nkrumaism and are pushing for every structure in Ghana to be named after him but have done little to strengthen his party are only using his name for their own visibility; they cannot be Nkrumaist if they cannot do even 10% of the things the leaders of the past glorious CPP did.
Only they can rehabilitate the image of Nkrumah by working to bring respect back to his legacy. But it would seem as if this may never happen as most of those who claim to be Nkrumaist are bourgeois, not socialist and so cannot afford the hardships that the Veranda Boys endured to build the party.
They only use socialist jargon, or really the name of Nkrumah, not even the socialist language, to feather their bourgeois nests. Should we sing a dirge to Nkrumaism?

Nearly two months have passed since Jellico High School last won a football game.
The leaves were still green and the late summer air was hot and humid when the Blue Devils went on the road to defeat North Greene, 14-8, on Aug. 28.
During the seven weeks that followed, Jellico lost six consecutive games by an average margin of 19. 5 points. The defense gave up a total of 177 points in those six games while the offense struggled to score 60.
Jellico High School's first appearance in sub-state volleyball was a bit of a disappointment for the Lady Blue Devils.
Host North Greene defeated Jellico in three games — 25-13, 25-12 and 25-22 — to advance to the state tournament this week at Murfreesboro.
However, the Lady Blue Devils expect to be back next year with one of their two all-region players returning for her senior season.
"I just wanted to win one (sub-state game) at least," said Jellico coach Barbara Carter.
A competitive high school football game Friday night against Knox Halls quickly turned sour for Campbell County during the final 5 1/2 minutes.
Trailing by a single point on their home turf, the Cougars (2-5 district, 3-6 overall) gave up two touchdowns down the stretch of a 28-13 loss to the Red Devils (3-4 district, 3-6 overall).
"The kids really played hard. We really had (Halls) on the ropes," said Campbell County coach Dewayne Wells.
Local ultra marathon runner Tony Branam finished 4th out of 20 starters with a time of 6 hours and 48 minutes in the area's first-ever ultra marathon, the Cumberland Trail 50k, held on Oct. 10.
The 31-mile trail race was won in impressive 5:26 by Byron Backer, 45, of Greenville, S.C.
Women's winner Dreama Campbell, 37, of Chattanooga finished in 6th place with a time of 7:12. Only one runner dropped from the course, due to a previously existing injury.
When Joseph Smith joined the Army, he promised to protect America and the people who live here.
Now he stands accused of severely abusing one of the country's littlest citizens.
Late Tuesday evening Smith, 23, 6763 Desert Storm Avenue, Fort Campbell, Ky., was bound over to the grand jury on the sole count of aggravated child abuse. The child at the center of the case is 22-month-old Peyton Douglas, the son of Smith's one time girlfriend, Michelle Douglas.
As the testimony in Joseph Smith's aggravated child abuse hearing ensued, an auburn haired woman stifled her tears.
When the extent of Peyton Douglas' injuries was divulged, the tears grew audible.
For Sharon Douglas, the toddler's maternal grandmother, hearing that her then 18-month-old grandson had been subjected to bone breaking force was almost unbearable.
The discovery of a loaded gun on Campbell County High School's campus harkened back to the hauntingly vivid events of November 8, 2005 when shots rang out killing Assistant Principal Ken Bruce and wounding Assistant Principal Jim Pierce and then Principal Gary Seale.
While both days ended with a student in custody, Tuesday's arrest took place without incident.
For those who have been grinding their teeth and experiencing a little bit of extra road rage because of bridge construction in front of the high school, take hope.
Good things come to those who wait, or at a minimum new bridges do. At least that's the news from the state department of transportation.
"You have to go through the pain of the remodel to get the end result," said Tennessee Department of Transportation Regional Spokesman Travis Brickey, after explaining that if the project were not a priority, the construction would not be taking place.

Journey to the Surface of the Earth
I liked the variety of shapes put together by Margaret Pezalla-Granlund. Form is an interesting area to explore. What struck me as great is that Margaret mentions that she tries to be independent of the mathematics. This, to me, makes the exhibit worthwhile because all the shapes she presented can be created by some sort of function or combination of functions, mathematics has always been viewed as this underlying texture of the world, yet whenever things are created with pure math they always come out with a lack of life. To understand this not only in itself but also as a metaphor for other methods is very important, I believe. I liked how in the booklet there was a sheet that invited me to participate, it's always interesting to experience the exhibit with my hands. To be honest the masking tape exhibit was inviting me to unwind itself, but that would probably be looked down upon.

Dieudonne Habiyambere has confessed that Rwandan players will face an intricate challenge to break the foreign dominance in this year's second and third ITF Men's Futures tournaments in Kigali.
The week-long second leg starts today at Cercle Sportif courts in Rugunga, while the third leg (Rwanda F2 Futures) will start from November 26 - December 2.
However, Rwanda's seed two Habiyambere, who will start his singles campaign in the main draw alongside top seed Jean Claude Gasigwa, confessed to Times Sport over the weekend that comparing entrants for this year's event, the country's representatives face a daunting task.
"We were overwhelmed with the kind of performance many of the foreign players exhibited in the first leg held in Burundi.
"There are some top quality players in this year's tournaments, and unless we improve our game significantly, it will be hard to break foreign dominance," he admitted in an interview on Saturday.
He added, "We have trained so hard for these two tournaments and I'm very hopeful we will put on good performances in-front of our fans. It is going to be hard but we're playing at home so we must take full advantage of it."
Both Habiyambere and Gasigwa were sent packing in the first round of the first leg held in Burundi a week ago. Gasigwa was ousted by seventh seed Lucas Zweili of Switzerland 6-2 6-1, while Habiyambere lost to seed five Kaza Vinayak Sharma of India 6-0 6-2.
Till date, Eric Hagenimana remains the only Rwandan to reach the quarter-finals of the tournament so if any of the two players match this performance, it will be a great feat.
The main competition starts today though Mathieu Uwizeyimana, Mubarak Harelimana, Olivier Nkunda, Hamisi Gatete and Anatole Bizimana had to go through the grueling qualifying stage over the weekend.
Austria's Gerald Melzer, who plays with two-handed backhand, is the highest ranked player at 292 on ATP. He won last year's event after beating fellow country mate Lukas Jastraunig 6-2, 6-4 in the final.
He has played eight ITF Futures in USA, Chile, Burundi, Uganda and Rwanda in his career.

Malkin Is Right
I'm about halfway through with my review copy of "In Defense of Internment - The case for Racial Profiling in World War II and the War on Terror" by Michelle Malkin. It's a good read and despite the fact that this book has received much criticism in the blogosphere (here, here, here and here, Malkin's counter-arguments here) I think she's right. Hindsight is 20/20 vision, as they say. It is easy for us to call the internment of the Japanese during WWII as a "tragic mistake and a grievous wrong" as Grenn Reynolds considers it, but take into account the fact that leaders of the time did not have all the historical facts we have now and the argument can be made that they acted appropriately and in the best interest of the country.
What's disturbing, however, is that this one event in our history is the backbone of today's anti-profiling argument with the War on Terror. It seems illogical to me to decry, as some have, that not enough is being done to safeguard our borders and homeland, while at the same time handcuffing our hands behind our backs with political correctness. Better a few hurt feelings than a bunch of dead Americans. It's that simple.
I don't know if this book will make much of a difference given today's walking-on-egg-shells penchant for political correctness, but somebody had to say it, and Malkin just did.
This book should be on your reading list.

Cape Town — The Minister of Minerals and Energy called for a partnership between the people of South Africa and the government, as well as the opposition parties, to manage the current electricity crisis being experienced by the country.
At the same time, she appealed for understanding.
South Africa is part of the global village and as such is not alone in experiencing economic growing pains similar to those being experienced in India and China, where economic growth has been straining energy supplies, said Minster Buyelwa Sonjica.
Addressing both houses of Parliament on Wednesday afternoon, the minister said South Africa's "unprecedented and unanticipated" economic growth was largely behind the current energy crisis being experienced by South Africa.
When South Africa became a democracy in 1994, the new government inherited an economy in decline where three power stations providing over 3 000 megawatts of electricity were mothballed due to lack of demand.
Economic growth over the past few years, as well as the extension of electricity services to as many as 3.5 million more South Africans because of government's roll-out of services to people who were previously denied them, are largely responsible for the current shortage, Ms Sonjica said.
These are chiefly the reasons why electricity shortages are currently being experienced, although the minister did concede that there was may have been delay in switching policy priorities from expected production of independent power producers to greater reliance on Eskom.
"When we experienced electricity demand growth of about 3,34 per cent and 7,1 per cent in 2002 and 2003 respectively, projections were revised and it was confirmed that the new power generation would be required by 2007," she said.
And this additional power would come from peaking plants, to cater to peak demand.
As a result, in September 2003 the department of Minerals and energy informed cabinet that South Africa was running out of excess capacity faster than expected and that additional capacity would be required by 2007.
The lead time for such projects was about three years, and key decisions made then were to instruct Eskom to ensure security of supply until 2007, adding that 70 percent of electricity requirements beyond 2008 would be provided by Eskom.
The rest was anticipated to come from independent power producers, along the lines of an earlier decision for IPPs to produce as much as 30 percent of the country's electricity.
However, once government realised that the private sector lacked the "appetite" for power provision, there was a move towards greater reliance on Eskom.
"There may have been a delay," in the decision between moving away from anticipated generation from IPPS to a reliance again on the ability of Eskom to deliver, said Ms Sonjica.
For this, the minister said she apologised to the people of South Africa, while thanking them for putting up with the hardship - especially in the case of business - and the inconvenience of occasional power cuts.
Speaking to the house afterwards, Fatima Chohan, the chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Public Enterprises, pointed out that in 2003, parts of the United States as well as Canada were plunged into darkness for over two weeks, when 265 power stations shut down because of maintenance problems.
She then quoted a former United States judge now charged with responsibility for a number of public utilities as saying that South Africa's shortages were a controlled solution to an understood problem, rather than the sheer collapse as experienced in the US in 2003.
Load-shedding - Eskom terminology for controlled power outages - is "an engineering solution to an engineering problem", she quoted the former US judge as saying.
She urged South Africans to see it in this context rather than making "hysterical" comments which hurt international investor confidence in the country.
