Dinosaur Tracks and Tipi Camping In and Around Monument Valley
Day three and four of our road trip saw us driving from Arizona to Utah. The stops along the way were some of the highlights of our trip, with stunning views, wonderful friendly people, and breathtaking views.
I knew we were headed into the Old West, and would be seeing dinosaur tracks, so I did the thrifty travelling momma thing, and stopped at a thrift store and Dollar Store in Flagstaff before hitting the road, and got the girls some hobby horses at the thrift store ($3 each) and cowboy hats, dinosaur toys and other goodies at the Dollar Store. (Some of the best souvenirs for the girls, and literally 1/10th the price of the same goodies at the overpriced gift shops in the middle of nowhere!)
First stop was to the Moenkopi Dinosaur Tracks just outside of Tuba City, Utah. This location features real dinosaur tracks that have been viewed and verified by paleontologists all over the world. The sheer number of tracks and bones and fossils here are just mind boggling. There are literally hundreds of dinosaur tracks and that the view is fantastic. You can see the Hamblin Ridge in the distance, and get a glimpse of a preserved barren desert land on the Navajo Reservation.
The majority of tracks came from the dilophosaurus, a crested dinosaur weighing from 750 pounds to 1000 pounds – very large meat eating dinosaurs! Our tour guide was a real sweetie, and she even gave Tessa a piece of fossilized dinosaur poop to take home! (Tessa calls it her big rawr cacaball.)
We stopped for the night at the Monument Valley Tipi Village, a small grouping of hand-hewn and hand crafted tipis built and run by a sweet Navajo family. This stop was simply AMAZING. The immense, still beauty of Monument Valley was just to the east of our tipi, that brought gorgeous views with the rising sun. The Rock Door Mesa was just behind us, and to the west was Tear Drop Arch.
The tipi teepees was carpeted, and included camp beds with linens and blankets, a table and a lamp with electrical outlets. It was the craziest marriage of camping and bed and breakfast style luxury. We had fun sitting around the fire, and then spending a quiet morning of the girls playing in the iconic red sands and hopping around on their hobby horses.
After eating a yummy breakfast of Navajo Tacos at a nearby Chuckwagon, we headed into Monument Valley, the world famous region of the Colorado Plateau that is characterized by a cluster of vast sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 1,000 feet above the valley floor. We took the 17 mile scenic loop drive, with frequent stops along the way so I could take a thousandy and one pictures!

One good sign of a party's power is its effectiveness in carrying out bread-and-butter campaign tasks, tasks like getting the thousands of signatures to put party candidates on the ballot. Independent Political Report notes that the the Independent Green Party of Virginia has managed the feat of putting a candidate for the House of Representatives onto the ballot in each of Virginia's 11 congressional districts.
The IGVA — which split off from the Green Party of Virginia and is not recognized by the national Green Party in the United States — is out-hustling the Green Party of Virginia in marked fashion. While the GPVA has not put out a newsletter since last year and makes no mention of candidates running for office in 2010, the Independent Green Party of Virginia has publicly identified each of its candidates and provided each of them with promotional material.
While the IGVA is occupying the "Green" name space in nominal terms, it is divergent from the Ten Key Values in action, restricting its environmental agenda as a party to the endorsement of passenger rail for Virginia. IGVA congressional candidate Jeffrey A. Clark openly advocates for anti-abortion, anti-marriage equality, anti-immigration, oil drilling deregulation, anti-health-care-reform, and pro-tax-cut policies in his campaign. This is not a typical "Green Party" approach.
What makes a "Green"? Will Virginia conservatives be willing to vote for conservative candidates who sport the "Green" label this November? Will members of the Green Party of Virginia be inclined to vote for IGVA candidates this fall because the name "Green Party" is part of the line on the ballot?

This group is for you if you like being creative, and want to keep this part in you alive - meeting other creative people can help.
Maybe you're not a professional creator, and maybe you are. Maybe you're just thinking about being creative, maybe you're creative daily, and maybe monthly. The purpose of the group is meeting like minded creative people and spending some time together. We meet often, have a coffee, chat.
I decided to start the group because this kind of networking is important for my own creativity.
Maybe your creativity needs company, like my own. This group is for you if you're building a table, a company, if you're painting, cooking, photographing and... what? what are you doing?
As you chat small talk with someone in the group, I encourage you to tell them about your creativity - whether it is active or passive at the moment. This is the place to find people who will believe in your creative aspirations.
Leave skepticism for another day ;o)

We tend to use the categories 'strengths' and 'weaknesses' very easily. And I think they can be valuable: it can be useful to recognise that we do some things well, and that we have major problems with one or more areas of our lives.
There is a stream of thinking too about playing to our strengths instead of working on our weaknesses that I find very attractive. My preference is for a life of quiet ease rather than noisy struggle – yes, I'm an introvert.
All this means that the division into 'strengths and weaknesses' can be useful and helpful. However, I also have some problems with it.
1. Says who? Is being poor a weakness? It may be for me – it certainly means I can't do some things right now that I would like to, but would Gandhi, or Mother Teresa or Jean Vanier agree? What is seen as a strength or a weakness can be a value judgement of which we are unaware.
2. What if we don't enjoy our strengths? A friend of my partner was a brilliant cello player, studied at music college, got a job in an orchestra, and then left to study art because that is what she really wanted to do. My best subject in high school was economics and I have gladly never looked at another economics book – to me it most assuredly was 'the dismal science'.
3. What if we never will be any good at what we do enjoy? Many people pursue painting knowing they will never be one of the greats (or even as good as they want to be). Does this mean it is not a strength or that this makes the pursuit a waste of time?
4. What if success isn't the criteria? Speaking of strengths and weaknesses often means criterion is joy? Or fun? Or sacrifice in a noble cause? Or preserving the tradition we are inducted into as a sacred trust?
I don't think that success is always the criteria, but I think it frequently is.
5. What if we change the perspective? A personal example [skip to the next paragraph if you aren't interested in blogging and my struggles with it]. Blogs are meant to be narrowly focused. Thinks make good sense: People usually go online looking for something very specific; type something general into google, like, "How can I be healthy?" and the billions of hits that result aren't going to be much use. So focusing on all aspects of health is seen as a weakness for this blog. (So, why do I do it? I'd just feel bored and hemmed in if I had to stick to just one topic.) What if I change my perspective? Perhaps the general is a specialisation of its own! Perhaps if I'm interested in the general there are other people interested in it too (how to let them know I exist is another story). Perhaps the general could stand out among all those focused on something specific. Perhaps it is my approach that is different. Perhaps the generality can be a strength in some way – or some aspect I haven't even thought of could be a strength.
6. Sometimes working on our weaknesses can pay off. I felt quite socially inept in my adolescence and early adulthood (and suspect I still am). As a way of dealing with this I worked hard on listening. I got lots better at listening and can now, usually, pretty easily understand where someone is coming from. It probably means that I am somewhat less socially inept but the depth that listening has added to my relationships is a far larger benefit.
7. Sometimes we need to work on our weaknesses to achieve what we care about. You may be a very shy person who wants to get publicity for the cause you believe in – and so you may need to find a way to do public speaking. Your shyness is a weakness as far as getting the word out goes – and you learn to cope with it; you may never become terribly comfortable with public speaking but you learn to do it (and perhaps to do it well) anyway. Sometimes our strengths, values and passion(s) don't coincide.
My guess is that 'playing to our strengths' is good advice most of the time, and a good rule of thumb. Especially when most of us have suffered schooling – where the focus was on our weaknesses (as measured by someone else's standard); an emphasis on our strengths can be a helpful corrective and positively liberating.
Sometimes though, we are playing to our strengths and being successful and we are still not satisfied. In this case I think it is worth asking a couple of questions: 1) Is success what will satisfy me? and, 2) Do I need to look again at how I see my 'strengths' and 'weaknesses'?
Perhaps you've had times when you have had to develop a weakness or have found it much better to play to your strengths. Perhaps talking about strengths and weaknesses doesn't make any sense to you. I'd like to hear from you about your experience of your 'strengths' and 'weaknesses'. Please leave any comments that you wish.

5 Comments to "Seven Questions About Strength and Weakness"
Hi Evan — I've been thinking about the whole idea of "weaknesses" recently as well — and my sense is that the aspects of myself I tend to consider "weaknesses" are really shadow parts of myself I haven't been willing to fully own. The competitive, "me-first" part of myself, for instance, is something I've been playing competitive sports to cultivate recently — not so much to get good at playing sports, but to get more comfortable with feeling the particular energy or sensation that comes with competition for me.
The mind is dualistic and can only see half a truth. Whether we are struggling with strength or weakness, past or future, fear or love, good or bad, positive or negative…it's all a matter of judgment. When judgment is dropped, there is intelligence.
its good answer

A new study published in the journal HortTechnology makes it official. Gardening has enough physical benefits to meet the recommended exercise requirements of older people. The study looked only at the gardening habits of people between 63 and 86, but it is felt the results would transfer to other age groups. This is something I have believed since reading somewhere years ago that people who listed regular gardening as a hobby were among the longest lived people. When you add in the mental health benefits of gardening, like this one, a better activity would be hard to find.
Another interesting fact that this study found explains my difficulty finding time this month to write as much as I like to. Gardeners who kept logs for the researchers were found to garden an average of 33 hours a week in May! This dropped down to as low as 10 or 12 in June, July and August. As soon as I post this I am heading outside to the garden, so I am sure doing my part to keep May's average up. It does make sense though, at least in the Northern Hemisphere. The work you put in at the start of the growing season is directly proportional to the results you see and vegetables you harvest later in the year. Now off I go!

They Are Totally Awesome!While taking a hike with his daughter, my cousin found one! A whole Elasmosaur!
He was always my favourite cousin! I spent time with his family every holiday! We were always the first one's up and had tea together. A different tea every day! We explored the world through tea! Researched where it was grown, the customs, topography! A geek break of our very own, every morning! The rest of our time was spent being "cool"!! He was also an Eagle Scout and so smart! He was also a twin! He was laid back, fascinated with everything! Not your typical geek!
He lives on Victoria Island, BC. Courtney to be exact! They now have a fossil museum, centred around his find! It was a life changing hike!
Check out the March/April 1992 edition of Canadian Geographic.

That is so cool. I would love to see that someday. Also you will have to teach me about tea. I may like that as well.
But you googled me and I don't exist. Perhaps because nothing mattered before I met you. We will have to regoogle later, LOL.

Despite all the urban legends, the green fairy did not make a recent appearance in downtown Washington.
Pernod held a tasting of its absinthe, that green licorice-tasting spirit filled with mystique, at Morton's Steakhouse downtown, one of four events the company is holding in the D.C. area this month. Attendees paid $45 to sample the drink, which was banned for nearly a century because it was believed to hold hallucinogenic properties.
Pernod and Morton's are hosting 60 tastings across the country, said Tracy Yewell, sales and marketing manager for the upscale steakhouse. It was an agreement between the two corporate offices that their clientele would get the most out of the experience, she added.
The 55 attendees who came to the restaurant's small, partitioned back room were of diverse backgrounds, largely coming from work to enjoy a drink they'd only heard about but never tasted.
The absinthe was available in four cocktails, with Pernod featuring the original French style, which drips water from a fountain onto a sugar cube sitting on a slotted spoon over the glass. Attendees could also have a Sazerac, which features whiskey, bitters, half a sugar cube and a lemon rind in addition to the absinthe; Le Deuce, a vodka-and-champagne drink with raspberries; and the Monkey Gland, which consists of gin, orange juice and grenadine with the absinthe.
Many tasters tried multiple cocktails, and some had one (or a few) of each. As the two-hour event wore on, voices rose, behavior grew more animated and gesticulations became increasingly frenzied. None of the participants, however, admitted to hallucinations.
Brian Eckert, Pernod's national brand manager, operated the fountain throughout the evening and gave a five-minute speech explaining the history of absinthe, how it acquired its mystique, why it was banned and how it became legal again.
"Pernod was the creator of absinthe," he said, adding that two French entrepreneurs opened the first commercial absinthe distillery in 1805. Its mysterious green color led to the nickname "the Green Fairy" at the height of its popularity in the 19th century, and after it gained a reputation of being both addictive and hallucinogenic, absinthe was banned in the U.S. in 1912 and in France in 1915, rendering the French blend absent from the marketplace. A "rougher-edged" Czech blend still was legal, but it packed a punch the French variety didn't.
"It was discovered in 2007 that absinthe does not create hallucinations, so now we're back and able to be sold, with wormwood in its original form," he said. "We're getting back to our original roots."

Dear diablog,
One of the reasons for the long Glynsky silence has been the losing battle for life being fought by Malcolm – aka Doctor Death and The Blind Dentist – a long standing and dear friend of Glynsky and his coterie of friends. He passed a couple of days ago and his funeral is on Wednesday.
Without knowing him in person you are all aware of him – he is the one on the left of our heading photo. He, and Richard (on the right) were pictured by Pete at a Glynsky party.
He was a lovely man, best described by someone else as being irritatingly lovable. A Gooner, a confidant, a supporter if you needed it, opinionated, maddening, lazy, funny, ate 'anything that could hang its head over a farm gate' and all round caring guy.
Glynsky et al salute a lovely human being who affected everyone who came into contact with him.
We shall all miss him.

The 59th Grammy Awards took place yesterday and it was quite the show! The night was full of memorable performances and moments from various artists but of course with the good also comes the bad. Here are a few memorable moments from music's biggest night.
Adele – Adele had a very big night at the awards show. She took home all five Grammy awards that she was nominated for including: Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Pop Solo Performance. She opened the show by performing her major hit, "Hello", and she also paid tribute to the late George Michael by singing "Fastlove". Adele stopped mid-song to restart the performance saying "I'm sorry, I can't mess this up for him" along with some curse words here and there. She recovered and gave the performance all she had. Even though she received a standing ovation, she was still visibly upset with messing up. She had a smile on her face later in the evening after receiving her major awards, but she became emotional when she said that Beyoncé deserved the award for Album of the Year.
Bruno Mars – Bruno Mars lit up the Grammy stage two times and he certainly wowed the crowd. He first performed one of his new hits "That's What I Like" off of his new album, 24K Magic. His vocals and dance moves got the crowd going and he did not disappoint. Later on in the evening, Mars paid tribute to Prince along with one of Prince's old bandmates, The Time, by performing one of his hits, "Let's Go Crazy". Mars surprised many people by playing the guitar and he ended the performance with an epic guitar solo. The crowd was very pleased and people were buzzing about his moment all over social media.
Beyoncé – Probably one of the most anticipated moments of the night, Beyoncé had a performance that continues to have people talking. She made her first televised appearance since the announcement of her expecting twins. Her performance was certainly visual with lots of projected screen images, vibrant colors, and a long table that came along with a chair that tilted Queen B back (which was super risky). She graced the stage with an interesting looked that seemed to resemble something of an African, Hindu, and Roman goddess. Her performance lasted nine minutes and left many wondering when she was going to start singing at one point. The crowd was very pleased with the performance and Blue Ivy was thrilled with her mother's performance.
The good, the bad, and the scary – The night was full of moments that were great but others left us scratching our heads. The good: Grammy winners Twenty One Pilots shocked people by removing their pants while going up to accept their award. They had a good excuse for doing what they did saying, "If we ever go to the Grammys, if we ever win a Grammy, we should receive it just like this". Chicago's own Chance the Rapper won three Grammys, which was a first for him. There was another tribute which shined the light on the group The Bee Gees. Demi Lovato, Tori Kelly, Little Big Town, and Andra Day all paid tribute by singing a medley of some of The Bee Gees greatest hits, one of them being "Stayin' Alive". The bad: Throughout the night, there were many technical issues that left people very upset. One of them being cutting people off during their acceptance speech. Chance the Rapper and Adele's co-writer were the victims of this but this did not stop Chance and when Adele's co-writer got cut off, the crowd erupted by booing. Another technical issue occurred during Metallica and Lady Gaga's performance. Metallica band member James Hetfield's mic did not work at the beginning of the performance and many people were not thrilled, calling it sabotage. The scary: During the show, James Corden came up to Jennifer Lopez to do a mini carpool karaoke session with her. Suddenly, Corden asks Neil Diamond along with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Ryan Tedder, John Legend, Jason Derulo, and Keith Urban to sing Diamond's hit, "Sweet Caroline". This song is a classic and what made this moment scary was that many of them did not know the words! One other scary moment came from Cee Lo Green. He has been under the radar lately but he made quite the entrance to the Grammys showing up in an all gold outfit along with a gold mask which prompted people to come up with some crazy memes.
This year's Grammys may have been a little rocky but it was filled with many moments that will have people talking for years to come. What was your favorite moment of the night?

Going through a selfish phase…
I seem to have hit a selfish phase lately. I think it has been brought on, like most things, by a combination of factors. I am not saying it like it's a bad thing, it just is.
Pesach was a long two weeks of break from school, with my husband spending a lot of the time home.
I turned 38, which I already blogged about, but feels, well, older, for some reason.
I got sick, and it took a while to feel better.
And my youngest child turned two.
For some reason I have yet to understand, something happens to me in my subconscious when my littlest ones turn 2. It is as if an alarm goes off in my body that screams "enough!". I give a lot of time and attention to my kids, not as much as some, but a lot. I nursed a lot of my kids until 2 or close to it. And after two years (not even including pregnancy) of giving up so many of my own needs and desires, I get restless. I think the restlessness is good. It helps me allow my children to become more independent and grow.
So, with all of these reasons brewing, I have taken half of a day off for a massage and manicure / pedicure. I have taken naps when I feel like it, including at 7 pm. I have planned an overnight trip, on the weekend, without my family, just to spend time with friends. (I can't wait!)
I am sure that many of you cannot see what the big deal is. "Me time" is an important given for many. But it hasn't always been easy for me. My guess is that moms of a large number of kids are a self-selecting group for whom this is often true.
I know the old idea that I am taking care of my family by taking care of me. It doesn't go down that way with the troops in my house. Especially since taking care of me lately means getting away from them. : )
I have mentioned before that this year I am feeling older – and wiser. I think the selfishness is part of that unfolding wisdom.
It isn't that I haven't done things for myself before. The selfish phases do come.
More often then not, when I have a child that has recently turned two.

|90' +2
|FULL-TIME: Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 OGC Nice - Parisians are now on the brink of the Ligue 1 title. A good win against the ten men of Nice.
|Into two added minutes in an eventful encounter at the Parc des Princes.
|C. Chantôme has scored a goal for PSG! Assist by Z. Ibrahimović.
|Ibrahimovic searching for a fourth as Ibrahimovic handles before Civelli takes him down. Referee Chapron sides with the visitors, as Nice win the award.
|GOAL! PSG 3-0 NICE! CLEMENT CHANTOME! Superb from PSG - Ibrahimovic with the assist towards Chantome who taps in for his first L1 goal since April 2011. Brilliant.
|K. Gameiro enters the game and replaces J. Pastore.
|Ancelotti and assistant Paul Clement congratulate Javier Pastore for his efforts as Kevin Gameiro comes on for the final few minutes of the game.
|Paris Saint-Germain comfortably leading the possession count - 8% to 42% as they coast to what would be a 21st league victory of the season.
|C. Chantôme enters the game and replaces J. Ménez.
|Clement Chantome comes on for goalscorer Jeremy Menez - Chantome's 24th Ligue 1 appearance of the season. Not bad for someone low in the pecking order.
|Thiago Silva - honestly, a class footballer - expertly leads the charge from the back and through the midfield. Tees up Lavezzi with a fine defence-splitting through ball, but Delle saves.
|JEREMY MENEZ! He races forward past Civelli and one on one, but the Argentine tracks back to deny the winger, who instead gets away with a wayward shot.
|Pecjinovic with an almighty tackle to deny Ibrahimovic as PSG break with speed once more. It's three against two as Maxwell and Menez race forward, but the Serbia defender gets the ball away in time.
|S. Bahoken enters the game and replaces L. Bruins.
|Substitution: Luigi Bruins taken off for Stephane Bahoken as Nice aim to get a consolation goal.
|MAXWELL! Great shot, and good save by Delle. Superb play from PSG as Menez and Lavezzi combine, as the ball is laid bare for Mazwell to take a shot which is turned over by the goalkeeper.
|Seems to me that the referee has ruled it out on the grounds that the ball initially went out of play before being tucked in. Still, how did it even go in from that angle?! Amazing.
|INCREDIBLE GOAL FROM THIAGO SILVA! but it's ruled out! What a shame, and incredulity descends on the Parc des Princes. A moment of madness, as Silva tucks the ball past Delle from the acutest of angles.
|Ibrahimovic blasts Pecjinovic for a foul as we await Delle to take the goal-kick after an attack fizzled out. Menez meanwhile, again fails to get past his marker as Pecjinovic deals well with the threat.
|Firecrackers going off all over the Parc des Princes as PSG sit on the brink of the Ligue 1 title, with the championship set to be decided at the earliest in two weeks - if not mathematically next weekend.
|Zlatan Ibrahimovic with his 27th Ligue 1 goal of the season - just ten less than the entire Olympique de Marseille squad who sit in 2nd place. PSG set to go nine clear.
|Penalty goal scored by Z. Ibrahimović for PSG!
|GOAL! PSG 2-0 NICE! Ibrahimovic tucks away the penalty with aplomb, as Ancelotti raises his fists in glory. Delle went the right way, but that surely should be that.
|J. Delle enters the game and replaces J. Pied.
|Ospina has to be persuaded to leave the pitch. We're waiting for the sub goalkeeper Joris Delle to make an appearance, and he will replace Jeremy Pied - the unlucky player to come off.
|D. Ospina goes off after a red card!
|RED CARD DAVID OSPINA! A moment of madness from the Colombian goalkeeper - who attempts to dribble out of goal, and after losing the ball - he hacks down Lavezzi. Stupid move. Red card, and a penalty to PSG.
|Kolodziejczak loses out to Verratti as Lavezzi picks up the ball. Cleverly finds Maxwell on the overlap, but Civelli also on song - racing back to deny the Brazilian.
|Menez again locating Ibrahimovic up front, between the two defenders, but it's well overhit and sails out for a goal-kick. Approaching the hour mark here.
|Abriel plays an astute pass towards Digard, with the former Middlesbrough player striking the ball well wide of the mark.
|F. Abriel enters the game and replaces M. Traoré.
|SUBSTITUTION: Nice - Fabrice Abriel (ON) Mahamane Traore (OFF)
|Pastore disguises a fantastic pass towards Van der Wiel, with the Netherlands international's cross hurriedly dealt with by Civelli. Great pace to this game.
|LAVEZZI! Superb stop by Pecjinovic who heroically blocks the ball away. Brilliant pass into Ibrahimovic who breezes past Kolodziejczak and pulls across. Menez mis-kicks, and Lavezzi in acres of space sees his effort brilliantly dealt with.
|Nice attack with ten men currently, with Thiago Silva heading away a prospective Cvitanich header. Nevertheless, Menez leads the break here....
|Verratti having a word with the referee after catching Traore in midfield. Traore is going off here, after appearing to stretch his hamstring.
|Kolodziejczak makes short progress on the left, but his low ball is easily cut out as Ibrahimovic is fouled in the middle of the pitch. Menez takes possession, but sees the ball fly out of play.
|Menez gets forward well, before Genevois takes down Verratti. Free-kick PSG, taken quickly, before being reclaimed by Cvitanich - who is looking increasingly isolated.
|PSG settle into their rhythm well after the resumption of the second half, gently knocking the ball around and maintaining their composure. Back to Sirigu, who clears hurriedly.
|UNDERWAY IN THE SECOND HALF! Nice get us started attacking from right to left in their white change strip.
|45' +1
|R. Civelli gets yellow.
|Z. Ibrahimović gets yellow.
|HALF-TIME: Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 OGC Nice (Menez 10')
|YELLOW CARD: Renato Civelli and Zlatan Ibrahimovic both booked after an altercation between the two involving pushing and shoving.
|D. Digard gets yellow.
|Ibrahimovic over the wall and it's hit a hand as it comes off Cvitanich and out for a corner. Ibrahimovic is incensed at the decision, but PSG have a corner.
|YELLOW CARD: Didier Digard. Ezequiel Lavezzi absolutely hacked down as PSG broke through. The Nice captain receives a yellow card, and the Parisian side have a free-kick in range.
|Nice threatening on the pitch at the other end, but the dead-balls have been so poor this evening. The ball towards Cvitanich has been near enough atrocious.
|Free-kick awarded to Nice after Kevin Anin is fouled by Ezequiel Lavezzi. Meanwhile, Nice have only lost three of their last 15 against Paris Saint-Germain.
|Ibrahimovic played into space but tackled away at the death by Pecjinovic who gets his strength behind the ball and play it safely towards Ospina. Good chance that was for PSG.
|Statistic: PSG have not lost a game outside of Ligue 1, save for the 1-0 defeat to FC Porto in the Champions League. They were knocked out on away goals to Barcelona, and on penalties to Saint-Etienne and Evian in the domestic cups.
|PASTORE! Over the bar. Great chance from the Argentine, but he fires well over the bar after the ball was headed away into his path.
|PSG break again in speed, as Pecjinovic clears behind for a corner. Pastore fed in midfield, as he tees up Ibrahimovic whose cross in is turned behind. The hosts' second of the night.
|Van der Wiel combines with Pastore on the far side, with the latter firing an over-hit cross-cum-shot which Lavezzi fails to keep in play. 33 minutes gone; PSG 1-0 Nice.
|SIRIGU! Oh, he's missed that completely. Poor from the Italian goalkeeper, who is bundled over by the attackers with the danger cleared by Ibrahimovic.
|Another set-piece opportunity for Nice who continue to tot them up in this first half after Silva and Maxwell combine to clear the danger behind for a corner.
|DIGARD! Great effort, speculative shot from distance which Salvatore Sirigu required two attempts to hold onto. Nice playing enterprising football at the minute, but unable to unlock the PSG defence.
|Matuidi dispossessed by Traore, who tees up Anin in lovely one touch football, with the energetic Matuidi racing back immediately to fight for the ball. Brilliant.
|MENEZ! Great chance, even greater save by Ospina. Civelli at fault as Ibrahimovic wins the aerial battle, teeing up Menez, whose point-blank effort is parried away by the Colombian goalkeeper.
|Menez with another outburst at the referee, as he treads every so slightly. Meanwhile, Lavezzi foulde by Anin in midfield, as PSG aim to add to their goal.
|J. Ménez gets yellow.
|CIVELLI! Came at him quickly, the big Argentine after a deflection of the ball arrived in his path. Took a left-footed shot which was hurriedly blocked by Sakho at the back.
|Yellow card shown to Jeremy Menez following dissent at the award of the free-kick. Digard over this anyway.
|Poor one that, and easily deal with by the Parisians. Nevertheless, Ancelotti furious at the manner in which PSG are constantly conceding free-kicks, as Nice win another one.
|Digard with an inswinging free-kick, headed away for a corner by Thiago Silva following pressure from Renato Civelli. Corner to be also taken by Digard.
|Nice contuining to chase the ball but have a free-kick following a strong challenge from Lavezzi on Jeremy Pied. Free-kick in a decent position, and a favourable angle.
|Kolodziejczak makes progress with his bursting pace down the left-wing. Again races into position, with Digard pulling the strings in midfield, but Sakho and Co. clean up at the back.
|Digard with the free-kick, whipped in deep at the far post and headed away by Sakho at the last moment. Bruins then dispossessed by Jeremy Menez as PSG look to nullify the threat.
|Traore takes a colliision in the PSG box with Thiago Silva, but play goes on as Nice threaten. Matuidi concedes a free-kick for an unnecessary tackle on Pied.
|Crunching challenge from Civelli on Ibrahimovic, with the latter voicing is feelings about that untimely block. Civelli, a former Marseille defender, roundly booed by the players.
|KOLODZIEJCZAK! What a chance, and what a relief for PSG. It came out of nowhere, as Bruins attempted to get past Van der Wiel. The left-back moved into position and flashing a great chance just wide of Sirigu's goal.
|As it stands, Paris Saint-Germain sit nine clear of Marseille - they cannot win the title next weekend, but at the earliest, the weekend after. 1-0 PSG, and it has been deserved.
|J. Ménez has scored a goal for PSG! Assist by J. Pastore.
|GOAL! PSG 1-0 OGC NICE - JEREMY MENEZ OPENS THE SCORING! Fantastic counter, and superb ball curled towards Pastore in acres of space. The Argentine bamboozles Ospina who races off his line, squaring for Menez to tap-in. First blood.
|First Nice counter in the PSG box as Kevin Anin progresses, feeding Romain Genevois on the wing. Cross in is headed away and PSG start the counter.
|Shot taken by Luigi Bruins, in towards Cvitanich but the referee's whistle goes indicating offside. The visitors haven't got going yet, as it stands.
|Good PSG pressure in these early stages as Lavezzi is hauled down by Cvitanich. Nice's Argentine striker has 14 goals to his name in L1 this year - one less than the best tally set by Loic Remy and Bakari Kone since OGCN's promotion in 2003.
|Corner palmed away by Ospina who eventually gathers it at the second attempt. Nice attempt to break, but Genevois is reprimanded for a tackle in midfield.
|All PSG at the moment as Menez progresses down the wing, with Lavezzi teeing up Maxwell on the overlap. The Brazilian's cross in is palmed away by Ospina as PSG win a corner.
|LAVEZZI! Good chance already as Anin is dispossessed. Ibrahimovic and Lavezzi combine, with Menez on the far side. It's 3 against 3, but the defence get their act together to see the ball back to Ospina in time.
|UNDERWAY IN PARIS! PSG get us started attacking from right to left. Nice in their change strip of white. Can the hosts avenge tehir 2-1 defeat at Stade du Ray on December 1?
|Paris Saint-Germain head into their first home league fixture of April on a considerable low following their 4-1 penalty shootout defeat to Evian in the Coupe de France on Wednesday. The likes of Thiago Silva, Zlatan Ibrahimovic underperformed and with five games to go, will they bottle it again here tonight?
|With nothing other than Ligue 1 to play for, PSG cannot afford to slip up here tonight. Defeat would see them just six points clear of Marseille with 15 left to play for, with Lyon two further behind. Nice meanwhile, are also playing for European football.
|Nice, this season's revelations, sit in sixth place following Lille's earlier win. With five points separating themselves and Lyon in third, a win today could enhance their Champions League or Europa League prospects. Newly crowned Coupe de la Ligue winners Saint-Etienne are just above them.
|OGC NICE: Ospina - Genevois, Pejcinovic, Civelli, Kolodziejczak - Digard, Anin - Pied, Traoré, Bruins - Cvitanich.
|TEAM NEWS: David Beckham makes way for Marco Verratti as PSG name their strongest line-up. In comes Ezequiel Lavezzi also, unseating Jeremy Menez. For Nice, Luigi Bruins is included following Eric Bautheac's suspension.
|PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN: Sirigu – Van der Wiel, Thiago Silva (cap.), Sakho, Maxwell – Pastore, Verratti, Matuidi, Lavezzi – Ménez, Ibrahimovic.
|The teams are in the tunnel, as cameras cut to former France president Nicolas Sarkozy sharing a few words with current France manager Didier Deschamps in the stands.
|Tonight's referee is Tony Chapron. A good atmosphere on a warm spring evening here in the French capital. Kick-off moments away.
|HT in Paris - Jeremy Menez's goal the difference at the interval as Ibrahimovic gives Civelli a thumbs up for winding him up. Watch out for more of that in the second half as PSG head into the dressing rooms in the lead.
|TV replays show Renato Civelli actually kissed Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the neck during that "altercation" - bringing a wry smile from Ibra. And who says romance is dead?!
|PSG inconsistency stumps Ancelotti
|Lavezzi wants strong PSG response
|Ancelotti applauds surprise packets Nice

If you've waiting for Artisana Coconut Butter to make it to iHerb, wait no more - this is just like it! I love this stuff. It's got the lovely taste of coconut without as much fat as the oil. Don't get me wrong, I love the oil, but this stuff is great and has different applications. Put it in smoothies (or over smoothies to create a magic shell like effect), on top of oatmeal, on toast, as a 'frosting' for muffins, cookies, etc. It's delicious and healthy. Highly recommend.

Can eat straight out of the jar. I even put in on frozen berries and the coconut manna froze making it almost white chocolate like. Yummy. The only bad thing is that you can totally overeat this thing.

The butter separates a little so make sure to mix well before using. But great for replacing oil or regular butter :)

A Guy local to me has a 2003 . It looks like a fsr knock off. I found a dirtworks in UK but nothing in the us.
Its on ( I hate to say it) pinkbike in Massachusetts. Dh / freeride section. Its only 350 so I think I'm going to take a drive tomorrow.
Interesting that it is out there. Back in college, in CA, I had a friend that had a couple of those frames built up, I think his brother worked for them or something. He was a good rider and never had any bike frame issues that I knew of...
"I think it's rad, when Balls beats Natural talent" - Shaun Palmer
I have a Termite, it's been retired. It's not FSR, it's single pivot / faux bar. Pretty tough bike, if I replaced the bearings I could probably still be riding mine. Looks like someone has had a play with the shock linkage on that one...has lots of holes drilled. Looks like a decent deal for $350.

Interface Builder is a really nice tool. Cocoa has the best implementation of MVC I have seen so far. Interface Builder really only creates the GUI and then you switch over to Xcode and do the Controller part. It is different compared to other language platforms but I like it. Regards, Manfred

I don't know what has gotten into me. Maybe my brain is fried from almost a year of non-stop work. 14-18 hour shifts every single day must have messed something up in there.
I seriously don't know how women function! It's crazy. But I digress.
Thanksgiving dinner was a success at my house. We had over 30 people, I rented a couple of tables and chairs, moved some furniture around and VOILA.. Party over here.
I took ZERO pictures. None of the food I prepared and none of the decor. I was all over the place. But mostly trying to keep the kid from crying.
That in itself is stressful. I prepared 5 dishes for that dinner, including a 20 pound turkey. I AM CRAZY.
Well now, Christmas is upon us and once again I'll be hosting. This time Christmas eve dinner will have over 40 adults not counting any children. Again? Crazy?
At least this time I started things early, but not early enough and I'm dragging along. Which makes me think I won't get all I want done for the upcoming parties I need to deal with.
I've chosen Gold & White as our Christmas colors and I'm so in love with it. It looks so elegant. LOVE!
I'm planning putting the menu together and divvying up who's gonna make what. But I gotta say, I'm truly thinking of not making anything. Okay, maybe one dish.. ummmm two. Please stop me. I'm so excited to be sharing these first moments with my son that I've gone a tad overboard. I can't forget that my son's birthday is coming a couple weeks after that. (I really should have planned getting pregnant).
So to you mama's that want to do it all and are exhausted…. I salute you. Come on aboard my crazy boat and let's do this.
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Tickling Fun With FriendsI was a complete tickle virgin up until about 3 months ago, i'd always liked the idea of being tickled i'd had the odd encouter, that had lasted mere seconds, but they were nothing compared to the experience i had a few short months ago, Anyway growing up if anyone brought up tickling i'd get excited, i thought i was a bit weird, so i never told anyone.
When i started college i made new friends and one in particular, i drew pretty close to, one night i was over at her house, and she asked me to reach for something at the top of the cupboard, since i was taller than her, i thought nothing of it so i did, and i was reaching up my shirt pulled up exposing my belly and my friend ran her finger down my side, I jumped and starting laughing, she looked at me grinning and asking me if i was ticklish and we spent the rest of the night talking about our interests and i explained that i had liked the idea of being tickled and the idea of being held down and tickled i blushed telling her i had never told anyone and she was really understanding. She explained to me that she herself was into tickling and we werent alone! She told me that there were a few people that she knew, who she would get together with every now and again and they would have tickling sessions and tickling games, she asked me if i would be interested and i agreed immediately, so we arranged the date for the following weekend at her house, her parents were away so it was perfect meeting place.
Everyone was set to meet at her house at 6pm, getting rather nervous and excited as i approached her door, i had second thoughts about turning back, but i thought this might be my only chance, so i knocked. At the meeting there were 6 of us, myself and my friend and 4 others, 3 guys and and 1 girl, it was nice to meet others with the same interests, after casual chat, we got into the swing of things, I wasn't going to participate in the first meeting, just to sit and observe, but persuaded by the others i did so, that's when the straws came out, we all had to draw one and the person with the shortest one had to endure an hour of being restrained and tickled by the others of the group, and of course, mine came up as the shortest one, my friend protested and said i didnt have to do it if i wasnt sure, but another suggested it was a good 'initiation' into the group, i agreed to let them do it, and my heart started pounding, I was wearing a cropped tank. shorts and flip flops, perfect for the warm weather but not so perfect for what was going to happen to me, the outfit exposed all of my sensitive areas!
We all went up to my friends bedroom, i was told to lay down on her big doubled bed in an 'X' position with my arms and legs spread apart, i was getting more and more nervous as the two strongest guys held me down, one sat above my head holding my arms, the other at the end of the bed holding my legs, and i had my friend sitting on my hips, the timer was set and off we went!
It started off with my friend lifting up my tank to expose my tummy she ran all her fingers over my stomach, i let out such a squeal and i couldnt move an inch i felt so helpess but it was fun, she un fastened the button on my denim shorts and tickled me along the line of my panties, If i hadn't have been restrained i would have jumped up! She then moved onto my arms after several minutes of tormenting my tummy, sides and ribs, scrabbling her fingers into my underarms, my most sensitive spot. When she stopped the under arm tickling her other friend began her attack on my legs, i never knew my inner thighs were that ticklish! I called out for them to stop even though i didnt want them to, they ignored my pleas and carried on. Then it came to the feet tickling, after my under arms, my feet are the second most sensitive part, he stroked his fingers up and down my arches, moving slowly, tormenting my poor feet and then picking up the speed, he then pulled out a feather and weaved it in and out of my toes, the tickling sensations were driving me mad.
After they had tickled each area seperately they then moved in together all at once, occasionally swapping over, going back to seperate areas, then two at a time, then they would all attack me at once repeating this process, when the hour was complete they let me go and told me i had done really well for my first time. We had a few more games with the others and we all went our seperate ways.
I'm looking forward to my next experience, but it will just be me friend and me next time, and i will be having the experience of being blindfolded to add to the excitement, can't wait, something i will definately do again!
Did you get your piggies nibbled or licked
I'd hold your arms above your head and wiggle my fingers on each armpit, one at a time, driving you crazy and trying to wiggle free. I work my way down and gently dig my fingers into your hip bone! You jump and squirm. Then I send gentle pokes to your ribs!
Had enough tickling yet? :)
Tickling your feet with baby oil and a brush!
I use all 10 fingers to tickle you! Armpits first, then hips and everything in between!
Now I tickle your ribs with all 10 fingers digging lightly into them. You squirm to try to get away from me, but I won't hear of it! Lol.
Tickling you all over using yogurt on your armpits & feet.
-- Did u like my tickling........please add me we can have tickle chat
Add me I love tickling too
Add me! I love to talk about tickling ;)
Omg that sounds so fun
I love to tickled too...to be at the mercy of a woman whom I've bonded with and trust and to be able to watch her and tell that she loves having me in that position and she can't get enough of tickling and teasing me is a huge turn on!
I HATE BEING TICKLED! always have always will
Then why the hell are you reading this ???
@ $usie at least you'll be laughing ;-) & I'd like to check out that ticklish ness you talking about
Sounds great to me
I loved being tickled
I wish I can find someone near me who would just love to be tickled or teased.
Where do u live
Sorry for this late reply. I am from Malaysia. R u anywhere in Asia?
U can PM me and let chat on tickling.
All I have to say is that it was a sexy story. It made me want to tickle you.
I wouldn't mind miss all my meals for your delicious ticklish body. You sound too sensual and arousing and obviously agitated my urge. If I can have all, I would easily feel satisfy having just the feet and toes.
I love women like you. Wish I could meet someone this ticklish and who loves it :(
Yeah good story. I've been a fave tickle victim since a small boy because of my insane reactions to it.

Pity of it is tickling is normal human behavior. Between friends its bonding and it lowers stress and inhibitions. Its something almost everyone enjoys but here in this TWISTED society for some odd

reason people who like tickling, (about 90% of the population) think they have to HIDE to do it!

To me the story isn't "sensual and erotic" its just TICKLING! I've posted a few of my true experiences

with tickle torture on here and I guess because its been happening to me since a boy I'm used to it.

I was surprised that you were tickled for a whole hour and didn't climax once or twice or at least wet your pants, which is what normally happens to me in the first 10 minutes. But I'm one super ticklish guy though.
Delicious story! So sensual and erotic!
Wow that sounds like a lot of fun TickleMeGently, very understandable with the nervousness, it's like nervous excitement, like you're excited about what's going to happen but not sure how you'll handle it, I hope you let us know how the next session went, have fun ;)

Jinny is being questioned by Internal Affairs about her killing Ray Sanchez (the man who killed her brother). The men reveal that if her story does not 100% match what Raina is going to tell them that she will be charged with murder. Raina is conflicted because she does not know if she could have done anything to have made Ray drop his gun herself. She tells the men that Jinny put their lives first because he would not drop the gun. Eventually, IA clears her, but when Jinny asks Kate if she thinks she should have been cleared, Kate won't give her an answer.
I was a little worried that Raina might actually end up giving up Jinny and saying that she could have gotten Ray to put the gun down. However, she did tell the truth and that there really was no way of knowing. However, Jinny did provoke Ray by bringing up the fact that she knew what it was like to lose a brother because he killed hers. To me, Jinny killed out of rage but Ray would have easily shot her or Raina, or possibly both so Jinny did the right thing by shooting him. However, Jinny really should not have gone to start with as her supervisior order her not too. Although, Raina did call her and tell her, so it's easily partly her fault as well. I was shocked when Kate told Jinny should would probably not want to hear what she had to say about what IA said. After all of these years of sticking up for Jinny, was she saying that she did killed him for spite or that she should not have gone in the first place? Who knows, but it made for a great story arc.
The case in the episode involves the murder of a man who owned a very valuable piece of property that burned down not too long before he died. It turns that he was under investigation with the business partner for arson. The hotel surveillance shows that he met up with a woman before going to the room he died in. His wife reveals that he bought a gun, which coincidentally was the same kind he was shot with. Jinny and Magda discover that the woman who the man was seen with was the same woman who was the insurance agent on the building's claim after the fire. Eventually, the woman (who turns out to be a sex addict) is found and reveals that he did not have a gun while she was with him. It turns out that he told her he wanted to leave his wife. It turns out that his wife murdered him after she discovered he had not ended the affair with the woman.
Wow, the character of Stacy became even more irritating in this episode. It's like she was trying to hard to prove she could do her job. I did enjoy the way they used flashbacks to tell part of the story, it had a very CSI feel to it. It was quite easy to predict that the wife killed the husband however for she seemed to give up that he carried a gun with him a little too easily. I actually felt sorry for the sex addict as it's clear she has a problem but cannot fix it. I'm surprised her husband stays with her, but I guess he's getting sex a lot?
Magda is upset that Gabe has still not contacted the marriage counselor. He eventually does, but he misses the appointment. In a fit of rage, she reveals to Gabe that she had the affair with Jonah. She tells Jinny and she asks her if she really wants this marriage, why did she tell Gabe? She said that she had to just because they have money does not make up for their problems. When Magda returns home, she finds that Gabe has moved out.
I felt so sorry for Gabe. That's actually the first time I could say that. Even though Yancey Arias does not portray Gabe as well as Jose Yenque did, he really made you feel awful for Gabe. It clearly was a shock to him that Magda would have an affair. It took guts for him to walk out on here because he has done so much for her. Lisa Vidal was absolutely terrific in this episode. I really had no idea she would tell Gabe about having the affair with Jonah.
Final Grade: B-

Wichita, Kansas — Shocker fans filled Mid-Continent airport Friday, flying to Atlanta for the big game.
"Let's go Shockers," yelled Nicole Kriegiseh and her three sisters. "We're loving the Shocker hype. It's everywhere."
Kriegiseh and her sisters, decked out in Shocker hats for the flight, say WSU spirit runs deep.
"We're representing the rest of the family," explains Kriegiseh. "All twelve of us kids went to WSU. Go Shockers!"
While fans fly off to Atlanta, others have decided to stay home and catch the big final four game on TV.
"I'm watching it at home. Nobody around me. It's not safe to be around me at this level of the game. I could hurt people," jokes WSU Superfan Kathy Ivy.
Ivy is so much a Wichita State Shocker fan, her official Kansas license plate says "SHOX" and she has her office space flooded with Shocker images and trinkets.
But it's that licence plate that gets the most attention.
"Oh, I get comments all the time," says Ivy. "I've had people offer to buy the rights to it but I'm not ready to give it up."
"You know what happens? A lot of people race up behind me and get next to me to see who is driving and then they realize it's me and say, oh never mind."
While Ivy says she will be cheering and yelling at the TV come tipoff, she is excited to see so many flying to Atlanta.
"This is great. It's such a thrill to see Wichita in the national spotlight."

Because there is no such think as taking too many breaks!
Rheumatoid Arthritis Guy is the fourth of five children. For our first Christmas, my mother would make each one of us a stocking with our name and felt cut-out designs. When we would woke up on Christmas morning, there was never any confusion about which stocking belonged to who.
My stocking got many years of actual use…but around two years ago – when I was nearing my 35 years – it started showing some wear and tear (just like me…and come to think of it, the worst of the wear was right about the heel and the toes!). It was time to protect it for many years to come, so I got it mounted in an archival frame. Each December, I continue to hang it on my wall with pride.
I am getting ready to re-read The Eyes of the Skin: Architecture and the Senses. I have always been interested in examining the role of all of the senses and how they relate to the architectural experiences. Some of my clearest remembrances of built space invoke not only visual memories, but also auditory and olfactory memories.
I also really like it when the sense of touch is present. If you live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, next time you visit Louis Kahn's Kimball Art Museum be sure to to enter from the park in the back and not the parking garage in the front, and you will know what I mean. (You will also be approaching the museum in the way that the architect had intended for people to enter.)
All six volumes of Stephen King's The Dark Tower are headed my way. I am also thinking of purchasing a copy of Under the Dome: A Novel (which is discounted 59% at Amazon!). Has anyone read this latest book yet?
A week from today next Sunday morning, my parents will be starting their long journey to South America for the holidays…and won't arrive until Monday morning. I can't wait. There is still a lot that we have to do this coming week, including renting a portable oxygen tank for my father!
(Have I ever shared that I live 3,640 m/11,942 ft about sea level? Water takes absolutely forever to boil…and even then, it only reaches about 90ºC, as compared to the 100ºC at sea level. Don't even get me started on baking. And the local airport is the highest commercial airport in the world, with an extra long runway that is needed for planes to land and take-off in the thin air.)
Stay tuned…for the next adventure of Rheumatoid Arthritis Guy!

Welcome to Books & Bottles, where the (sometimes drunk) ramblings and reviews of Katelynn and Kassandra are free to run rampant.
Originally thought up whilst under the heavy influence of wine and tears, this little project of ours is something that's coming very naturally (so far.. we'll get back to you in a year). As serial hobby-ists, it's only natural to share what we love with everyone.. right?
.. Right! Thank you for agreeing.
And so, without further ado, feel free to explore the baking tips, knitting horror stories (they're on the way), anime, and manga, jumbled in with the original plan of Books & Wine reviews. We hope you enjoy the wit and sarcasm as much as we enjoyed writing it.
But seriously – beware and enjoy!

Glass Frog Windchimes Perk up YardThursday, June 21st, 2007
Looking for some fun decorations for your yard? Wind chimes can be nice, since they add an audible element as well as a bit of eye candy. Don't feel you have to settle for your typical chimes made from wood and metal though. If you do a little searching, you can find some that suit your tastes perfectly.
These fused glass wind chimes are perfect for the frog lover (more people love frogs than you'd think).
The hand-crafted piece is available through Etsy for $45:
"I made this windchime by handcutting stained glass in greens,yellows, red, black, and white and then fusing them together in my kiln to create an cute little frog! There are 7 separate fused glass strips that form the chimes. They were drilled by me, wire was attached and strung from a wooden dowell to hang the piece. "

Dear Head Pro,
I have accidentally been fucking my ex boyfriend's best friend. I might have accidentally developed feelings for him too.
It all started on Halloween. I was looking super betchy in my Playboy Bunny costume and he obv wanted it all night. We kissed at the end of the night but that's it. We texted for like a week after, planned to fuck then that crazy betch Sandy hit and I didn't see him for another week. It took two weeks but we finally had drunk sex and it was spectacular. I had been having a problem with the boys I was hooking up with having baby dicks but this was not the case.
We fucked like three more weekends in a row and one time mid day SOBER but the last time I was super sloppy and accidentally told him I had feelings for him. He told me he "was like in looooooove with me" when I was dating my ex and that he had feelings as well. After that night I didn't hear from him for two days so i sent him a text along the lines of "Sorry if I made it weird between us I get it if you're not into me". No response for two days then he finally says back "idk I just wasn't prepared for that I was confused". I don't understand why he would say that he had reciprocal feelings if he didn't.
Anyway didn't talk for like two weeks after that happened and he texted me this weekend saying he would drive over to my house to fuck me…..
Should I go with it and fuck him for fun or will I just end up hurt in the end?
Booty Call Betch
Dear Booty Call Betch,
I know how you feel. I hate it when I accidentally fuck someone, and it happens all the time. I'll just be walking down the street or at the dentist or something and I'll look down and boom, there's someone's V all up on my D, and it's like "well how the fuck did that get there?" I guess I just have a clumsy dick, who knows. It sounds like you have more "accidents" lately than I do, what with the accidental fucking, the accidental feelings, and the accidental mention of said feelings. It sounds like you need some kind of "dating diaper" with all these accidents. Maybe an actual diaper too, who knows. I won't judge.
If you read this site at all, you know by now that you don't have to like someone to like fucking them. People fuck people they don't "like" all the time. Maybe you're (accidentally) doing it right now as you read this. Or maybe, as I suggest to all readers, you're reading this in bed with a sexy lady friend. [Maybe the two of you have been thinking of, you know, "experimenting" with some things and my words are exactly the kind of erotic catalyst you were looking for. It's cool, just let things happen organically and see where it goes. Maybe the two of you are decked out in some cool new BSCB swag. Yeah, there we go. That's how you read an internet column.] Oh yes, back to you. The accidental fuck feelings. I'm not surprised you're developing feelings for the guy you're fucking, because that happens from time to time. What does surprise me is that the dumbass you're accidentally feel-fucking didn't have any inkling of these feelings. Heads up to any guys reading this, if a girl is fucking you on the reg, there's a good chance she's into you.
When your cassanova sent a romantic text saying he'd "drive over to fuck you" that was his way of making super clear that he's not trying to turn this into, you know, a "thing" right now. I don't blame him, because for guys, messing around with a bro's ex is shaky ground at best. That said, it's usually not worth the hassle and uncertainty of becoming eskimo brothers with a guy unless you have some strong intentions. I would advise you to learn a little more about where he's coming from before deciding what to do. Maybe ask him if having dated his friend makes this weird for him. If that's the case, then you might have something there. If it's not and he's just not trying to get tied down right now, you might want to get out before you get hurt.
Accidental Kisses,
Head Pro
Hello there head pro,
I must say that at first I doubted your 'head pro' status, though after reading through some of the advice you've given others, I am no longer a hater. Plus, I appreciate your wit and sass. Anyway, I'm not sure that this question is exactly your area of expertise, though I'm sure you can draw some parallels in the situation.
Okay, here goes. Over the last month, I have increasingly been feeling more and more attracted to my best friend, who is also a girl. Although I've always seen women as incredibly beautiful and had crushes on girls before, I've never been with a girl in any serious way- aside from drunken make outs… don't hate, every girl has done it. Anyway, she knows me better than anyone, is gorgeous and intelligent, and we are really comfortable with each other. Last weekend, we went out just the two of us- and had an amazing time. I found myself feeling jealous when she was dancing/flirting with guys… not because I wanted to be with the guy, but because I wanted to be the one she was dancing/flirting with. Also, there was a girl who was literally trying to like mount my shit right then and there, and my friend 'rescued me' by making out with me- and pretending that we were together. Albeit drunk and kind of fake, when we kissed (for the first time!)- it just worked? You know, when you first make out with someone the chemistry is either there or it isn't? Well, it was. She slept over that night (which isn't unusual), and the next morning we happily joked/laughed about it. Another thing I should add: she had a thing with a girl for a while during the summer, so I don't think she's entirely closed to the idea.
Basically what I want to ask, is how do I determine if she feels the same way? How do I take things to the next level without potentially sacrificing our friendship? I'm not used to being in the situation where I have to feel out someone else's feelings… I'm more used to people coming onto me. I would love to know your advice on this situation. While I doubt that you've ever had a crush on a fellow pro… maybe you've had experience having a betch who's a friend that you start to feel more for.
Dear Bibetch,
YES. This is what I'm talking about. I need more readers like you. First of all, shame on you for doubting me. Secondly yes, I know that girls make out in bars for attention/free drinks, and morons with IQs equal to a comfortable ambient temperature always go apeshit for it. I also know that doesn't make you bi/a lesbian. You just happen to be, is all. Anyhow, let's see what we can do about getting you
some rug to munch on a romantic encounter with your bestie.
First of all, I think you need to decide what it is you think you're looking for. Are you just curious to know what it's like to be with a girl sexually (note: it's awesome), or are you feeling more serious, deep feelings about your relationship with your bestie? If it's the former, that's probably a little easier because you can just do what guys do: get shitfaced and make a move. It's funny, I usually don't think too much about gender roles and stuff like that, but I realize that as a girl there's a good chance you've never had to lean in and plant one on someone. Just go for it, and if she's all "wtf?" just be like "sorry, you just look super hot tonight." Trust me, bros have been falling back on that one for centuries. I would suggest, though, doing this somewhere other than a bar where she might confuse your advances for your usual bar makeout. Maybe in the back of a cab, or at home afterwards. In bed? Yes, always acceptable.
If on the other hand you're looking for more than just experimentation, the good news is that the person is a) someone who you know doesn't mind switch hitting from time to time and b) your bestie, so ostensibly someone who cares a lot about you and your feelings. My advice would be to start talking about it, but don't make it about her at first. Just start a conversation about how you've always found girls attractive but that now you're starting get a little more curious. See if you can get her to talk about her experiences. If she seems cool with it, maybe work in that she more or less embodies the kind of girl you see yourself having a relationship with. It's flattering but not too overt, and that way you can have a substantive conversation about it without being like "I want you to sit on my face." Trust me, that almost never works. Almost.
If the conversation goes well, see step one: Get shitfaced (and get her shitfaced), and put a move on her. Also, it's probably best if I help you guys work this out in person.
Sapphic Kisses,
Head Pro

The History of Woodbadge
Two Wooden Beads
The two wooden beads replicate the beads obtained by Baden-Powell during a campaign in Africa in 1888. These originally belonged to Dinizulu, an African chieftain. In searching for a suitable recognition for the men who completed his first course, Baden-Powell remembered the beads and decided to present a bead to each participant. From then on, the course was called "Wood Badge."
Wood Badge Comes to the USA
The course first came to the United States in 1936. Held at the Schiff Scout Reservation in New Jersey, it still had a strong British flavor, complete with menus heavy on foods that had been boiled for several hours. The Americans were less than enthusiastic, and a war intervened.
USA, Take Two
In 1948, a revised American course was offered for the first time at Schiff. It was a major success, in spite of rain on 4 of the 9 days. The first four patrol names, which are animals found all over the US, were introduced – Eagle, Bobwhite, Fox, and Beaver, and the course featured a kudu horn. As the years went by, the course focused on scout craft, how to teach it to boys, and/or how to run training courses. There have been courses for each of the major program areas – Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity, and Exploring.
