What metaphors for sex are used in your country?
In his talk, sexuality educator Al Vernacchio laments the flawed metaphor that many Americans use to talk about sex: baseball. Instead of this regulated and competitive framework, he suggest that we think about sex like pizza -- a communicative and collaborative experience.
The baseball metaphor is indeed very common in the US. So I wondered, what metaphors for sex are commonly used in other countries or in other languages? Are there Americans, too, who grew up with a different metaphor? And what else besides pizza would be a helpful new one?
Share some funny or interesting euphemisms for sex from your own culture!
Jul 15 2013: As a feminist, and also a mother of four grown children I am questioning on the one hand; why we need sexual metaphors to begin with however; also understand that the topic of sexuality in any form may be uncomfortable for some and even more so if discussing needs/wants with a partner or parent sharing information with a child. I think that it is not only healthy but also provides a common backdrop if we were to address sexuality and all it entails in a direct, age appropriate manner. I think that the "baseball" metaphor is not only old but archaic in concept. Just an opinion here.
Jul 15 2013: There is conduct only for actions. Thoughts are free. It's silly to dab a thought as dirty, lustful, improper or gross. Metaphors are the beacons of that freedom, just shrouded.Jul 12 2013: Indian Culture acknowledges sex as a profoundly spiritual and natural part of life. For example of a euphemism, a synonym of mother (among many) is 'Janani' in sanskrit and many sanskrit derivative Indian languages. It comes from the sanskrit word 'Janan' that means sex (for sexual reproduction).
Ripe and succulent fruits like mango are used as metaphor for sex in many instances.
Shivling, the phallus of Lord Shiva is worshiped as the substance of creation. In Lingaraj temple in Odisha state of India, a huge stone Shivling is seen firmly stuck in an impression of vagina. When I asked one priest about the seemingly paradoxical anatomical orientation of it, he explained that we, as onlookers are unborn and inside the divine womb, or else how can we see it like that!

Jul 13 2013: I am sorry to disagree. Jnan means knowledge, not Janan or Janana. You can use Sanskrit dictionary and check.
Janana means birth, race, causation and sexual reproduction (birth).Jul 14 2013: i've never heard of any metaphors for sex.
but euphamisms I have heard include: bumping uglies, rooting, humping, bonking, getting one's leg over, jumping someone's bones, pooning. There are others but probably not really necessary to post here..Jul 13 2013: Absolutely brilliant talk! So intelligent, so incitefull, unfortunately most won't get it.

Jul 18 2013: "Doing it" is seemingly the most popular here (without swearing of course), which kind of makes me think that the whole world must revolve around sex, because "it" is a very general term and can apply to many different things; everything is an it. There are some swear words too "F***ing" is a popular one, making me think that sex is bad as it's an expression of bad, which is interesting because of the double meaning for a swear word.Jul 18 2013: hitting the rat......is one of the most used sex metaphorsJul 16 2013: Cricket

Cricket is the most popular game in India

Jul 18 2013: Well Deepak.....when you state....'but in India it is a taboo and nothing much is discussed.' I guess you aren't referring to the era of the Kama Sutra. :):);)
But then historically, open discussion about sex in societies goes in cycles..............just look at Victorian England or early Rome and by and large the biggest no no on open sex discussions are Middle Eastern religious based.
But what has got me curious is this statement of yours.....
'Anyway we are at the end of our journey and everyone will soon understand in the time to come.'
Like to elaborate/enlighten us thereto??Jul 15 2013: I believe sexual metaphors are repulsive language and talk
Jul 15 2013: Do you think that specifically about sexual metaphors, or about talking about sex in general? Is it preferable to talk about sex directly, or not at all?Jul 15 2013: Metafora qe perdoret per sexin ne Shqiperi,nuk eshte ajo me lojen Golf,mbasi i afrohet shume pak golfit,paversisht vrimes ku hyn topi...metafora shqiptare per seksein eshte ajo e nje Motorri me djegje te brendshme...
Kur arrin orgazma ,nis e punon ventilatori dhe shuan epshin...
Leon Qafzezi
Jul 15 2013: This is from Google Translate. Because the translation is mechanical/computerized it is a bit wooden. But if the internet gives us the opportunity to translate, why shouldn't we use it.
"Sexi metaphor used for Albania, is not she play golf when approaching little golf hole irrespective of where the ball goes ... Albanian metaphor for seksein is that it is an internal combustion engine ...
When you reach orgasm, left the fan works and extinguishes lust ...
Leon Qafzezi"
If a TEDtranslator takes a crack at this one and cleans up the poor grammar delivered by "Google Translate" -- I shall be delighted to delete this post. But again, thanks to the miracle of "Google," I can get a good sense of what was said here via translation - & I'll take that over total ignorance any day!Jul 15 2013: Kill the cat (billi marna)
In my country the next day of honeymoon , all friends of male would ask a question , did you kill the cat?
They certainly want to know....You had your way or not?
It is believed this sets the relationship equation between the husband and wife in coming days. If you had your way than you are the one likely to wear pants in the house otherwise women is likely to domiante in a relationship.
Jul 15 2013: I made great plans to kill the cat 25 years ago. I realized it is a tough task for a rat.Jul 15 2013: I think this is a really good example of our metaphors reflecting the dominant culture. "Killing the cat" expresses a clear power structure. One can listen to this metaphor and easily tell that sex is not expected to be an equal act in that context.
Jul 16 2013: I think it is more complicated than you imagine Morton. 'Killing the cat' surely expresses a power structure with hint of male domination, but the sexual connotation is only part of that domination. Killing the cat on the first night after wedding implies establishing the role of a master by men over everything.
But let me explain why I say this is complicated.
In Indian parlance Jaru ka ghulam is a popular euphemism too. Jaru = wife, Ghulam = slave and ka means of. This is more powerful in expression compared to what you may understand by the word henpecked. And undeniably, this slavery is on account of a submission to the power of female sexuality. Sex is not not an equal act in this context as well but the master-slave relationship is reversed.Jul 15 2013: I have been critical of this talk in the main thread but I forgot to mention something very related. Pizza is already a sexual euphemism for vagina in Serbia and with small alterations for an attractive female. Fish is another that's used in the same context, but I can't think of any metaphors for the actual act of sex.Jul 15 2013: So horrible about your metaphors...Why does sex must have something to do with food? Would piza be pleasant about that idea?Jul 14 2013: for America itis Baseball.Jul 13 2013: In my opinion, this conversation could have been an interesting or even funny one. But it has been a little bit misunderstood, I think. Pity!
Comment deleted
Jul 15 2013: Hi Deepak. What I wanted to know was: In your culture, is there a common subject that people use to talk about sex in a disguised way? In the US, we make lots of baseball references when we're really talking about sex -- different sexual acts are called "the bases," failing sexually is called "striking out," etc. We realized this metaphor was very specific to American cultures, and wondered if other cultures had similar subjects that they use to talk about sex.
Syed Taj
Jul 13 2013: it's just matter of romance in a hidden place and a matter of crime if it is disclosed in public.

Jul 15 2013: Interesting, can you explain more? Do you mean that it's a crime to have sex in a public place, or to speak about sex in a public place?Jul 13 2013: How would one romanticize a dob of mash potatoes, some boiled pea's and some cut up boiled carrots with a meat pie on a plate? Back in the 70's and early 80's this average everyday dinner was known worldwide in New Zealand...I still have nightmares about those days lol.
Comment deleted
Jul 13 2013: Aye mate, I kid you not, that's how it was. We're a bit more evolved now but that dreaded pie on a plate still sticks and the sheep jokes abound galore heh heh. What about the poor Scots?Jul 13 2013: I've spent some time around medical staff and yes if memory serves me right (which i find is fallible) I've never known them to ever use or even banter with each other, in fact they adhered to an unspoken rule while on duty. Keep it real and light.Off duty was a different story but we all put it down to debriefing, some were under enormous pressure.
This will probably be deleted but that's fine, this video has nothing to do with pizza or baseball or hetereo sex, it's a feeler for the so called progressive element for insertion. He made his intention quite clear with a few words, well it was obvious.Jul 14 2013: Oh, Sorry. It might've been different where you were and for me it was 25 years ago, a long time ago, I worked at a medium sized Geriatric and Obstet unit that had Psych and eventually a range of Day clinics added to it for 5 years, i was just an orderly and i wasn't interested in taking it further though the Hr manager was always pushing the younger ones to move up through the depts. i got enough family in health and i could move through the depts on my rounds, so i got to know everyone really well. It didn't have a resus unit, it was just a medium sized hospital with just about everything a main hospital had. The senior doctors were their only to supervise the interns and the rest was left up to management. I spent a lot of time with the surgical unit team running drills and even i had to be there just in case on the off chance i had to step in and do what i was ordered to do.
Sorry, this looks like an assertion and a cv, my apologies, Does this help? My hospital didn't handle specialized cases. Anything like what you said that has the word necrotic i would take as a quarantine case? similar to Mrsa.Bio hazzard controls would take effect once identified? It was a long time ago and Nz at the time wasn't the States where you had far superior medical access to the latest and up to date systems..Jul 14 2013: I left the hospital about the time we started to adopt that provider/client rubbish and recently i spoke to a young paramedic, they require him to write a self assessment report once a week as well as log the minutes he spends with each person they attend and find ways to increase efficiency, rubbish.
At one time people thought i had a whacky family and growing up around queens teaches you a lot.
Your right though, pizza doesn't cut it.Jul 15 2013: I don't think the food itself is intended as the point. The intention isn't to think of the cheese or tomato sauce as a sexual metaphor, but the process of choosing something together with the person you want to share it with, talking about exactly what you do or don't like, and eating only as much a you want on a particular occasion.
Jul 15 2013: @Morton Bast: hi! As I said above:
"It must be my medical background. Any part of the human body that winds up looking like anything like 'pizza' has some deeply significant medical health issues. Look up "caseating necrosis" on wikipedia. Add in colored vegetables, onions, olives, mushrooms - the more vegetables you add the worse the pathology gets! And pepperoni? Yeeeeeesh Yee Gawd!"
I agree w/you. My comments don't add as much value to this thread as I had hoped. Plus, I digress & get off topic somewhat. My response/impression is unique to me & my background w/ very little 'public' appeal. I'll edit/delete some of what I put here and hopefully that will terminate my distraction.
Thanks for the correction & guidance. TED is worth every bit of that! And I do thank you. I mean it!Jul 12 2013: In Brazil, the following are euphemisms to 'having sex':
- Afogar o ganso (drowning the goose)
- Molhar o biscoito (getting the cookie wet)
- Agasalhar o peru (wrapping up the turkey)
- Dar um tapa na macaca (slapping the monkley)
- Brincar de médico (playing doctor)
- Furar o couro (putting a hole on the skin)
- Trocar o óleo (changing the oil)
- Briga de aranha (spider fight = lesbian sex)
There are many more.

Polyken/Nashua 361-11 Waterproofing Repair Tape is a tape with an aluminum foil backing/carrier which is coated on one side with a permanent butyl rubber adhesive. The tape forms a permanent seal with excellent adhesion to all surfaces. Nashua 361-11 is also extremely conformable and resistant to cold, heat, water, and sunlight. Its silver foil backing is paintable which helps match surfaces. Typically used for indoor & outdoor sealing and repair of gutters, roof alleys, eaves, hips and ridges. Can also repair seams and seal leaks, rips, and tears in pipes, hoses and in metal panels of trailers, shipping containers, and metal buildings.
We label the tape as Polyken/Nashua 361-11 in the product description because they are co-brands owned by Berry Plastics (the parent company of Nashua, Polyken, Ludlow, Patco, etc. tape brands). The core of the tape can be labelled as either Polyken or Nashua depending on the runs we get the cut rolls from. Made in the U.S.A.
(1 to 11 rolls)
(12 to 59 rolls)
(60 to 119 rolls)
(>= 120 rolls)
* see individual roll price to left
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Watch them try to sneak him onto their practice squad. Anyone think we'll sign him to ours
Watch them try to sneak him onto their practice squad. Anyone think we'll sign him to ours
Wrong forum
That, I think is against the rules for waiver wire pick ups. I'll try to find it but I thought waiver wire claims have to stay on the roster for 3 weeks.
They probably got all the info they could get from him for the week 2 matchup and let him go.
On a side note, I love how teams sign players from within the division, get the information they need on the players original team and then let him go. I wonder do players ever give out false info on their former team?
He's owed 3 weeks salary but doesn't have to stay on the roster. However, they can't sign another player to fill that roster spot until after the 3 weeks have past.
If a player on the Practice Squad of one club (Club A) signs an NFL Player Contract with another club (Club B), (1) the player shall receive three weeks salary of his NFL Player Contract at the 53- player Active/Inactive List minimum even if he is terminated by Club B prior to earning that amount, and (2) Club B is required to count the player on its 53-player Active/Inactive List for three games (a bye week counts as a game) even if he is terminated or assigned via waivers to another club or is signed as a free agent to another club's 53-player roster or another club's Practice Squad prior to that time. If the player is terminated from Club B's 53-player roster and signed to Club B's Practice Squad, he shall continue to count on the club's 53-player Active/Inactive List but shall not count against the eight-player Practice Squad limit until the three-game requirement has been fulfilled. If a player is terminated prior to the completion of the three-game period and is signed to Club B's Practice Squad or is signed or assigned to another club's 53-player roster or Practice Squad, any salary (as that term is defined in Article XXIV, Section 1(c)) that he receives from any NFL club applicable to the three-game period shall be an offset against the three weeks salary that he is entitled to receive from Club B.
Thanks for the heads up. I will remember this next time I post about a former Dolphin.

IMLS is partnering with the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) to better understand how museums and libraries are working to support comprehensive community revitalization. As one of the country's largest community development intermediaries, LISC has been supporting comprehensive community change for ten years, and now backs community partnerships in 107 neighborhoods in 30 cities and many rural areas nationwide. Through this partnership, IMLS will analyze existing cases and report back on best practices and strategies for successful museum-library and community collaborations fostering revitalization.
Comprehensive community revitalization is a strategy to improve the quality of life of low-income communities through simultaneous investments in housing, commercial districts, education, health and public safety and employment. The most promising efforts involve residents, organizations, businesses, and associations in multi-sectoral partnerships to engage, plan, implement, oversee, and evaluate change efforts. The Promise Neighborhoods Initiative (Department of Education) and the Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative (multiple agencies) are founded on similar principles
For more information on Comprehensive Community Revitalization:
ED's Promise Neighborhoods program: www2.ed.gov/programs/promiseneighborhoods/index.html
HUDs Office of Sustainable Housing and Communities program: http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/sustainable_housing_communities
NEA's Creative Placemaking work: www.nea.gov/pub/CreativePlacemaking-Paper.pdf
Read more about the LISC Institute for Comprehensive Community Development
Museums and libraries of all kinds contribute directly to community well-being. The types of programs and activities museums and libraries carry out to produce these effects include self-initiated learning, educational programs, documentation and materials preservation, public information campaigns, direct investments in community spaces, support for arts and cultural activities, and many others.
To be consistent with the community-building thrust of comprehensive initiatives, how museums and libraries contribute to comprehensive revitalization is as important as what these institutions do. One premise of our research is that museums and libraries that participate in multi-sectoral community partnerships are able to deliver better value to communities than those that act alone or through one-on-one community partnerships isolated from coordinated efforts.
IMLS and LISC are looking for museums and libraries that are currently demonstrating a sustained commitment to community-based revitalization work as subjects for case studies to identify best practices.
Seclected case examples will contain many of the following characteristics:
Museums and libraries that are selected will be contacted for document collection and key informant interviews.
Researchers will prepare a report for a broad policy and practitioner audience that outlines a conceptual framework that links comprehensive community revitalization goals with interests and capacities of libraries and museums, and identifies promising practices in library and museum programming that support community revitalization.
To nominate a museum or library for inclusion in this study, or to obtain more information on the project, please contact:

What is the purpose of the channel in my seat? Is it just for comfort or does it have some medical benefits?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Bicycles Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who build and repair bicycles, people who train cycling, or commute on bicycles. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The purpose of the channel in a bike saddle is to reduce pressure to the perineum, which can cause numbness and other long-term problems. This is a matter of both comfort and health, although not everyone is affected. Individual body type, saddle design, bike fit, and riding style work together to make saddle fit a very personal issue.
On a related note, some of the worries about erectile disfunction seem to be overstated, though this is still an open area of research. See: Saddle Seats and Erectile Dysfunction - The myth Exploded.

I Want Your Money
Set against the backdrop of America's growing disproval of current economic policies, "I Want Your Money" takes a provocative look at our nation's deeply depressed economy using the words and actions of Presidents Reagan and Obama. The film exposes the shocking reality of a bloated government while offering alternatives to help steer the United States back towards firm fiscal ground. By utilizing interviews with key leaders of America's conservative movement - Newt Gingrich, Steve Forbes, Mike Huckabee - movie clips, dramatic portrayals, music, graphics and even comedic animation, "I Want Your Money" tells the story in the plainest terms of the choice between 'Reganomics' and 'Obamanomics'.

Recipe by Michelle Davis
"This pie is a favorite at our family gatherings. Top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream if you like. 1/4 of a cup of cornstarch may substituted for the flour."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 cup
white sugar
1/2 cup
all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon
2 cups
1/2 cup
sour cream
egg yolks
1/4 cup
1 1/2 teaspoons
lemon zest
1/4 cup
lemon juice
1 (9 inch)
pie crust, baked
Looks like I'm one of the rare few who opted to make this pie exactly as the recipe is written. So often, as I saw here, it seems one person suggests a rather drastic change and then all others follow suit--and then this changed recipe becomes the recipe being reviewed. I kept all measurements and ingredients as written, only scaling the recipe down to 2 servings as I only wanted to make a nice, little dessert for my husband and me. I found all ingredients and amounts to be dead on, and the custard came together quickly and beautifully. For those having trouble it may just be because they are inexperienced with making custards and could maybe research it a bit to find basic intructions. For those who ARE experienced, this is a beautiful, rich, smooth and creamy lemon custard that couldn't be more simple to make. And now having made it, let me be the voice of dissent who suggests that this recipe is perfect just as written--no changes necessary. I just served the parfaits topped with fresh whipped cream and a few fresh raspberries. Deliciously good stuff!
I hate to be the only negative review here, but this did not turn out at all. My filling didn't thicken up, and there was wya too much for the pie crust. Also, not enough lemon flavor. I froze my pie and it was all right that way, but after it melted it was a sticky mess. Sorry, Michelle! I am, however, up to trying this again and seeing if it was maybe just my fault...

Overall the consistency and texture is wonderful. Due to personal preferences, I found the pie to be lacking in the sour cream and lemon flavor I was looking for. I gave this a four because most people may enjoy this pie, and I enjoyed the texture and consistency, just not the flavor. The second time I made this I increased the lemon zest to 1T, lemon juice to 2/3c, and sour cream to 1 cup and reduced the milk to 1 1/2 cups. Voila! A truly flavorful lemon sour cream pie for those who enjoy lemon and sour cream. Recipes are just road maps for our own creativity. Thanks for providing us with a great road map, Michelle.
Found I had to add about 1 and 1/2 TBLS corn starch to thicken this a bit more - I think because I'm at high altitude (5000 feet). Used graham cracker crust - excellent pie - then made the filling again, and served it parfait style, altering with layers of whipped cream, spooning raspberry coulis over the lemon pie filling. Top with whipped cream, 1 perfect raspberry and some mint leaves. This recipe is simply wonderful - everyone loves it!
Hi fellow cooks: I pursue Allrecipes because I'm getting family favorites from contributors with different levels of cooking skills from different backgrounds. Look at the great variety we get!! Submitters know that people are either going to accept it as is or modify to their taste. How do we benefit? They review the submission & include any modifications they may have done. Who cares if they read the reviews & follow those or follow the recipe exactly as is then read the reviews?? Either way you choose to proceed is your business & not the place for others to criticize.
I love this recipe! I have made this numerous times and made the following changes: milk 1 1/2 c, sour cream 1 c, lemon juice 2/3 c, & zest 1T. I've made this a couple of times w/o the zest & compensated w/lemon extract but it was nowhere near as good as when you add the zest. When I tell others about this pie I ltell them the zest is a must. :-)
Beautiful and delicious! I also followed suggestions to decrease milk to 1 & 1/2 cups and increase lemon juice a bit. Had no trouble with it being too runny - be sure you continue to cook for the specified amount of time and you will be fine. Mine got very thick and would probably have been fine with the full amount of milk. I made another lemon pie (Bill Clinton's Lemon Chess Pie from this site) for my husband to take to work because I had slightly burnt the shell on this one (not paying attention), but I should have sent this one; it was MUCH better. Next time, I'd make a double batch. My only gripe: what do I do with the egg whites that are left over? I don't feel inclined to make meringue. :-P
I made this exactly as written, but after tasting I ended up throwing in about double the lemon zest before I poured it into the crust. It tastes wonderful but doesn't hold it's shape well, so I would be hesitant to serve it to guests because it would be a sloppy mess. But if you don't care what it looks like once it's plated it's definitely a keeper. I went back for more after my first piece.
I used some of the suggestions and put 1 1/2 cup milk, 2/3-3/4 cup of lemon juice and 1 cup of sour cream... this was awesome! Tasted just like my favorite pie from the resaurants... YUM!

As far as we're concerned, bashing the classic bateau stripe may count as sartorial blasphemy. But, we understand that any trend has the potential to get tiresome; especially ones that are as timeless as a horizontal line. Luckily, Band of Outsiders is here to ease our weary style ruts. Its newest collection breaks from the classic, horizontal mold to put a fresh spin on stripes of every stripe.
Simply put, the L.A.-based brand is crossing many lines come spring. Sticking to its signature aesthetic of cool, casual suiting and laid-back structure, Band of Outsiders has splashed its shapes with lines that swerve, wave, and show up in patches — and those that make a bold, solo appearance. Think of this as a much-needed spring ('15) revival of an old classic. Or, a reason to actually skip your standard sailor-striped tee — if you can handle the separation anxiety, that is.

Verenium Starts Up Pilot for Cellulosic Ethanol
10:03 AM MDT | April 8, 2008 | Alex Scott
Alex Scott
Biotech firm Verenium (Cambridge, MA) says it has opened a next-generation cellulosic ethanol demonstration plant at Jennings, LA. Unlike standard biofuel technology the new facility is designed to convert the woody or cellulosic component of biomass into biofuel. The new demonstration facility has a manufacturing capacity of 1.4 million gal/year of bioethanol. The opening of the facility marks a "key development milestone" for the sector, the company says. Following the start-up phase, the pilot plant will move into a commissioning phase geared...

Official says best way to control milfoil is to be proactive
WOLFEBORO - Locals and visitors alike may already know that variable milfoil - an invasive species that can be controlled but not eradicated - has crept into the state's waters.
Why worry about weeds? Amy Smagula, a New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services limnologist and coordinator of the Exotic Species Program, listed many detrimental impacts of invasive species such as Eurasian milfoil in the state.
In a recent presentation hosted by the Lakes Region Planning Commission, Smagula, who serves as a one-person army in the battle against exotic species, said invasive weeds threaten biodiversity, degrade water quality and cause 10 to 20 percent declines in shorefront property values.
Milfoil-infested waters are unappealing - infestations threaten the recreational value of the water body. Tools in the milfoil control toolbox include target-specific herbicide treatment (2,4-D), mechanical removal such as diver assisted suction harvesting (DASH), hydro-raking and mechanical harvesting, diver hand removal, and placement of benthic barriers to block the sunlight and prevent growth.
Many communities use a combination of the above.
"Integrated management is key to long-term success," noted Smagula in her presentation.
Smagula said milfoil control efforts in the Lakes Region tend to be well coordinated on infested water bodies, with several well-organized lake associations, milfoil committees and designated funding sources - such as warrant articles or trusts set aside for milfoil control.
She urged community members to be more proactive and less reactive when it comes to invasive species control.
Kimon Koulet, the executive director of the Meredith-based Lakes Region Planning Commission, said one of the key themes of the presentation is for communities, the state, private and town groups to work together.
"None of these efforts are successful without collaboration," Koulet said.
This season, the state awarded 40 percent match grants to 42 groups for milfoil control around the state. Two of those projects, to combat new infestations in Naticook Lake in Merrimack and Otter Lake in Greenfield, received a 100 percent match. The total state funding for milfoil control efforts is $340,000 this year.
Smagula is managing milfoil control programs in about 40 of the state's 79 infested water bodies.

The long-awaited competition results for the Design 21: Power to the Pedal contest have finally been announced, and although there are some outstanding and innovatively green winners in the top finalists list, there is one entry that did not receive a top award that we were particularly impressed by – enough to give it some call-out attention. The Bloom bike device by Society Creative, LLC, puts a whole new spin on 'exhaust plumes' by attaching a reservoir-like-tube that emits bubbles and seeds as you peddle along pathways and paved surfaces. We think that Bloom is a clever way to encourage bike transport as well as greening strategies that literally clean up the streets with vegetable based soap and seeds. What better way to subversively draw attention to guerrilla gardening tactics than on a bicycle built for (seeded) spew?
Similar to the seeded tuft of a dandelion that is dispersed by the wind, seeds in the Bloom device are packed into a vegetable-based soap mixture to create a 'nugget' that dissolves while pedaling. This seed nugget is placed in a reservoir inside the Bloom's aluminum housing, which is attached to the lower frame of the bike near the rear tire (similar to an exhaust pipe). As the cyclist pedals, air is swept in through the front of Bloom and in turn spins a pinwheel inside which picks up a small drop of the seed and bubble mixture. Bubbles result releasing seeds out the back as 'exhaust', which then becomes lodged in cracks and crevices throughout the city streets.
Over time, the seeds grow into grass and plants to create a green 'fringe' on sidewalks and pavement. Bloom is a Johnny-Appleseed alternative to concrete jungle touring, and we love that Society Creative, LLC, has taken a transportation challenge and transformed it into a catalyst for change and social design advancement. Bloom represents a flowering of design ideas that not only put the 'power to the pedal' but also to the people for solutions that we all can benefit from.
As Design 21 outlines there is a concerted push for the use of the bicycle "not just as a leisure activity, but as a solution to a range of problems like pollution, congestion, rising gas prices and issues surrounding community health." In urban areas around the world, advocacy groups are staking a claim for bicycles and educating the public about the benefits of biking as a means of transport, fitness and fun."

Does anyone know if this will work with marijuana seeds?

I like the idea of seed bombs, but great care is warranted. A nasty side-effect of driving is transporting seeds all over the countryside. As long as seeds are local, indigenous species, okay. But I\\\\\\\'m not sure I trust the judgement of all the cyclists out there, who may be seeding our native bikeways with unwanted weeds.
June 5, 2008 at 3:13 pm
I love this! Where can I get one? I\'ve always wanted a bubbler for my bike (to perk up the day of those sullen car-drivers), but seed planting bubbles are even better.

This is the true account of one of the most surprising and remarkable love stories in the history of New York. It begins in 1993, when a young man from Belgium looking to change his life has an unexpected encounter in Central Park. He meets a hawk. Not just any hawk, but a wild Redtail, a fierce predator that has not lived in the City for almost a hundred years. Compelled to follow this extraordinary creature, he buys a video camera and sets out to track the hawk. Little does he know that the journey will take him almost twenty years and lead him down many trails of life, death, birth, hope, and redemption.

Posted in DinoDigs
Most folks rarely give much of a thought to Torosaurus, except for the trivia answers to "Which animal has the longest skull of any land creature, ever?" But some people seem to feel inexplicably attached to this name, often and incorrectly translated as "bull lizard" (it's got big horns, and was ornery like a raging bull!). In reality it means "perforated lizard", in reference to the holes in its frill. These innocuously incomplete frill holes are at the center of the newest paleocontroversy, which has some scientists ready to erase the name Torosaurus from the dictionary altogether!
See also: Obsolete.
We've known for a while that dinosaurs can dramatically change as they grow up. Infant sauropods pack on over 100 pounds a day on their lifelong journey to become the world's largest land animals. The crested trombone skull of Parasaurolophus [PA-rah-SORE-oh-loaf-us] wouldn't begin to grow until it reached maturity, with the males being larger for producing deeper resonating sounds and attracting mates.
Pictured at Left: The Barry White of the Cretaceous Period.
According to the study, the skull of Triceratops exhibits a number of skull traits shared by Torosaurus, including thin parietal [pa-RITE-al] bones and elongated squamosal [skwah-MOSE-al] bones. In addition, microscope examinations of thin slices of bone from Triceratops and Torosaurus specimens reveal that individuals attributed to Torosaurus are more mature than any of the ones assigned to Triceratops. But the finding raises the question of why fossil hunters have recovered so few of the mature Torosaurus specimens-fewer than a dozen, compared to the many dozens of younger Triceratops.
There will be a test.
Compare the two skulls against each other again. In this image, we see the skull of Torosaurus latus next to the skull of our female Triceratops horridus (It's the full skeleton labeled "prorsus" in DinoDigs right now.) Distinct differences are visible between both skulls – the lack of serrated bumps around the frill, and the forward-curving cheek bones (called jugals) . There are also differences in the shape and curvature of the horns. The hypothesis put forth by Horner and the others claims that as the dinosaurs moved past the reproductive stage of life they no longer needed to fight for mates or defend the herd. Their skulls would reform, changing shape dramatically, leaving two large fenestra [FEN-ess-trah] or simply, holes, in the dinosaur's skull.
Round up the usual suspects.
The green silhouette is Torosaurus, the blue silhouette is Triceratops. The eyes are a good place to line up the skulls, since most animals' eyes stay the same size throughout their lives. Are there any parts of the dinosaur's skull which match? Are their any parts which don't match?
What if they're right?
If the hypothesis ultimately proves correct, then the official name "Triceratops horridus" will be applied to any dinosaur previously called "Torosaurus." It might stick about as well as the "Apatosaurus / Brontosaurus" change, because nobody says "Brontosaurus" anymore.
Nope. Nobody at all.
This also would suggest that there is less dinosaur biodiversity than originally thought—if there were only a handful of 3-horned ceratopsians, then they must have served a much larger role in their ecology. Every living animal today serves some role in their ecosystem, whether they are predators, prey, or partners. All the major ecological roles have been almost continuously occupied since at least the Cambrian Explosion roughly 542 million years ago. Although animals are generally highly specialized to their ecological roles, some animals share roles, and some evolutionary lineages can evolve from one ecological role to another. Torosaurus it seems, had a role too similar to Triceratops to be its own animal.
What if they're wrong?
If the hypothesis ultimately proves incorrect, then Torosaurus latus will continue to be its own animal, just one that looks very similar to Triceratops (whose name I'm just Copy+Pasting at this point...), and the dozens of other ceratopsian dinosaurs. Scientists will need to find some juvenile Torosaurus remains that can solve that problem for us. We've already found infant Triceratops remans that do not have the fenestra in their frills.
And they're adorable.
It also calls into question the last few years of work by Dr. Jack Horner, who led this team on its previous efforts to combine the species' "Stygimoloch" & "Dracorex hogwartsi" into juvenile forms of Pachycephalosaurus. and then again to lump Nanotyrannus as a kid-sized Tyrannosaurus. Both efforts failed scientifically, but made headlines publicly.
He can't see you if you don't move.
Most paleontologists invest great amounts of time and energy in the important areas of their field—expanding the breadth of knowledge about prehistoric animals and making discoveries that advance our understanding, not revise it. If future paleontologists look back and say that there was only one type of Lion, and it includes Panthers, Tigers, and their juvenile form: the housecat, we'd take issue with it. So why should that logic apply to animals that don't exist anymore?

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 43 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ConstanceB Bought them a second time! I was so thrilled with these Jeggings that I've just ordered and received my second pair. They fit well and have endured several long plane trips and still look great. They are very versitile and can be very casual but also can be dressed up. April 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MELS Love this item This is the second year that I ordered these leggings. I ordered them and have out them away for next fall/ winter so I have a fresh pair. I wish I had ordered the navy ones, but you didn't have my size when I ordered March 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by mcmaori Comfortable and stays nice-looking all day Love the hefty texture of the fabric. Will buy more March 25, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by tck1 Jeggings not for me I think the product is probably nice if you think jeggings are comfortable I had friends who raved about their jeggings so I decided to try. I realized immediately that jeans are for me--cooler, more comfortable. I know now that jeggings are more like a wetsuit than comfy denims. I had to send them back for someone else to enjoy. February 3, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by M01267 Love the pockets! My old leggings were wearing out. When wearing leggings, I have often wondered where to put a handkerchief in the winter time. Since leggings are worn under tunics, I saw no reason why they couldn't have a small pocket in the covered area. I am no glad I found these. I have been loosing weight, and I was pleased to see that I needed a smaller size. They are a bit too long for me, but that is easily dealt with. I am a bit surprized that the fit is for them to sit on your hips rather than at the waist. Why wouldn't you want leggings to fit at the waist? February 2, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Loyalcustomer not like my other pair I had a pair of blue jeggings and love them so thought I would try the black. They were a full 3 inches shorter, bigger in the waist by 1 1/2 inches and tighter in the thighs. I ordered the same size as before, a 10. I immediately sent them back very disappointed. January 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by northwoods2 Critical Wardrobe Item Comfortable, versatile and well made. Great for casual activities but can be easily be made into a sophisticated dressy ensemble. January 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MTRN best pants ever worn great for travel. Looks good with any tunic,dress up or down September 8, 2014

The CAA's role relating to development and infrastructure at licensed aerodromes in the UK
To ensure that the CAA is satisfied that changes to the infrastructure of licensed aerodromes meet licensing criteria and do not present a safety hazard, prior approval of the CAA needs to be obtained.
CAP 791 - Procedures for Changes to Aerodrome Infrastructure provides details and guidance on how to achieve this.
Further information on Airport Infrastructure Changes
This exists for those responsible for the safe operation of an aerodrome or a technical site. The aim of the process is to provide notification of potential developments or construction within a specified area and to allow assessment of the potential impact.
On 10 February 2003 the CAA ceased to be the contact point for safeguarding consultations and this responsibility transferred to aerodrome licence holders.
Guidance on CAA Planning Consultation Requirements.
CAP 738 Safeguarding of Aerodromes provides guidance on the safeguarding process.
PSZs are areas of land at the end of runways established at the busiest airports in the UK, within which certain planning restrictions apply. These aim to control the number of people on the ground at risk in the unlikely event of an aircraft accident on take-off or landing.
The Department for Transport (DfT) is responsible for PSZ policy. The administration of PSZ policy is carried out by the CAA. The CAA has, therefore, taken over responsibility for the implementation of new PSZs and the review and update of existing PSZs, as instructed by DfT.
