Blogiversary Contest
Today is the third anniversary of my very first post on this blog (A Little Outing With Franz, also my very first knitting pattern). Huzzah!
I have learned a lot about knitting and about pattern writing in those three years, and there are some things in my early work that make me wince now. But never mind. Today is not a day for regrets! Today is a day for celebrating and for creating new things!
In that spirit I've decided to run a contest. Do you like handspun and/or hand-dyed yarn? So do I! Would you like to win some? Here's what to do:
In a comment to this post, leave:
1. Your e-mail address OR your Ravelry ID OR another method of contacting you (if you'd rather not leave one publicly, you can also leave this number blank and e-mail your contact info to running.jack.knits AT gmail dot com).
2. A link to your very favorite indie yarn retailing under $20 a skein (wish I were made of money, but I had to draw a limit) preferably on Etsy to make things easier for me, but a link to the seller's personal website is okay if they're not on Etsy.
3. A description of what you think I should knit out of your very favorite yarn (be as specific or as general as you like).
4. Your choice of whether you would like to receive the finished knitted item, or a skein of the yarn and a copy of the finished pattern.
In two weeks (that's November 26, the day after Thanksgiving), I will, by a secret method, choose a winner and broadcast it with great cheer. I will order two skeins of the winning yarn, use one to knit an original item, and then mail either the finished item or the other skein to the winner. (Edited to add: The contest will end midnight, CST (-5:00 GMT); I'll post the winner on Saturday morning.)
So, hop to it! This is a good time to advertise your favorite independent yarn seller and tell us why you love them. (Just enter once, please). Don't have a favorite independent yarn seller? Click through the links of the other entries, and maybe you'll discover one!
Here's a good place to start browsing: Hand Dyed, Handspun, and Hand Painted.
The contest is now over. You can see the winner and a list of all the entries here.

Sewsable on Rav
http://www.vintagepurls.co.nz/21-sock is my favourite indie dyer, she also does lace, but sock is $20 NZ and she does beautiful sock yarns which tend to sell out really quickly.
Her yarn is definitely great for socks, but it also makes wonderful shawls. I love both.
I think I'd prefer to receive a skein and pattern, that way I get the pleasure of the finished item and the delight of knitting it.Hi! This indie dyer has some beautiful and affordable yarns. http://www.etsy.com/shop/AlinaShea?ref=seller_info
I especially like the Waxing Moon - Rainbow Kit-400 I love bright colors, this would make a very pretty scarf or fingerless mitts or socks. I would love a pattern to make my own. Thanks for the contest. My Ravelry ID is gussek
Debbie in AlaskaI'm Feloris on Ravelry.
I love Fyberspates, I've only ordered once so far, but several yarns, and they're all incredible. Most of her yarns are slightly to expensive for this, but these
http://www.fyberspates.co.uk/mall/departmentpage.cfm/Fyberspates/_346735/1/Scrumptious%2520Lace should work. Scrumptious is unbelievably soft (I've got some, so I know). I especially like the Rose Pink here. A lovely soft lace scarf...mhhhh.
I guess I'd love the finished item, what with all the Christmas knitting, and my endless Ravelry queue. ;)I loved this yarn http://www.etsy.com/listing/53380545/amazon-handpainted-mulberry-silk-yarn?ref=sr_gallery_28&ga_search_query=yarn&ga_search_type=&ga_page=4&max=20&order=most_relevant&includes[0]=tags&includes[1]=title&filter[0]=supplies&filter[1]=yarn&filter[2]=silk
and I think I found exaclty the perfect project for it
Chloe88 on raverly!
I'd love the finished item. I always knit for presents and I can't find time to knit for myself!I always love to look at cottagecraftangora.com.. All natural bison, qiviut, angora and wool blends. I've wanted to buy some of their golden french angora 2ply (http://cottagecraftangora.com/#/100angora-yarns/4516259259) for a while but it sells out the fastest. Really, any of the bunny hues are fine, though.
If you bought this, I think you should make either Fairies and Flowers Scarf (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fairies-and-flowers-scarf) or Honeybunch Scarf (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/honeybunch)
As much as I wish I could work with this yarn, I would ask for the finished product to gift to my mother for after she has heart surgery so she has something light and fuzzy to make her smile, knowing it was made just for her. I'm still pretty new to knitting and am working on my first shawl for her for this purpose, but I still knit slowly and would like to have something for her to snuggle in.
firstname.lastname@example.com off, Happy Blogiversary!
I love Miss Babs:
Her colorways are inspired. She has many different yarns but one that is under $20 is her "Yet" lace yarn which would make a beautiful Citron. I would love to get a skein to try myself, and the pattern is free! I am AndaraKnits on Ravelry.Hi there! I'm Jessecreations on Ravelry.
Ack, I have so many favorites! Hmmm. For that price range, I have a favorite skein from my friend Johanna of Ever Improving Me: http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=2267117.
I think it would look great as a Travelling Woman shawl, which personally I'd prefer to knit myself. :)Happy Blogaversary!
I am having trouble choosing. Most of the indie dyers I buy sock yarn from the cost is $22 (http://www.etsy.com/shop/sleepingdragonyarn) to $23 (http://www.gaiascolours.com/component/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,8/category_id,25/page,shop.browse/). Or I buy from The Loopy Ewe (http://www.theloopyewe.com/)or Simply Sock Yarn Co. (http://www.simplysockyarn.com/servlet/Page?template=SockYarn) Both of them support indie dyers.
I wouldn't mind trying someone new.
My favorite color is blue but I've branched out to some greens and purples.
I would love the finished project as I usually give mine away as gifts.
I would love an ascot similar to these:
You can find me on ravelry, SusanB-knits.Hi and Happy Blogiversary!
I'm TuttleDB on Ravelry.
I love BohemiaFibers over on ArtFire and she has this really fun hand painted sock yarn called Woodstock -- http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=2358679 -- that I really love. A plus is that all her sock yarns are on sale for $12 right now! If I were to win, I'd love to have you make something for me since I always seem to be knitting for others. I would really like these socks -- http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/119-41-socks-with-big-toe-in-2-threads-fabel -- and a pair of fingerless mitts. The sock pattern is free (always good) and you could pick the mitts pattern. Thanks!Hello this is a terrific contest. My ravelry id is EverImprovingMe. There are so many really cool yarns out there! One of my favorite is from Jessie of Storied Yarns, I love all of her yarns and the stories behind them! I would choose this http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=2176011 because I would want one that Jessie did one not too long ago called Harry Dresden from the Dresden Files.
I am not very good at knitting yet so I would be so happy to get something knitted for me like wristlets, fingerless gloves, a hat or scarf. Something good for the cold (I am from Florida and just moved back to Kentucky a few months ago and believe it or not it gets cold here!)
I am going to spread the word about this really cool contest! Thank you again!What a great contest!!!! My name on Ravelry is theluckielizard. My favorite indie seller is BohemiaFibers on Artfire (http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&sc_id=113596&seller_id=13254&op=new) If I were to be chosen the winner I would like a pair of socks or a hooded cowl. I really love cables, but any pattern would be great. Happy Blogiversary!!!! and many more to come :-)
ReplyDeleteHere's an entry from Ilina, who ran into technical difficulties. If anyone else is having trouble posting a comment, feel free to e-mail or PM me your entry and I will be glad to post it! - Wendy
I love this idea for a contest! You are very generous.
I'm ilina on ravelry, and my favourite dyer on etsy is WildFireFibres: http://www.etsy.com/shop/WildFireFibres
I'd love any of her purple-hued sock yarns (though my favourite out of the current stock is Fantasia in Watercolour or Purple Lotus and the BFL sock in Lupin) or the Merlin and Tempo yarns in the Storm colourway.
I'd like to use the yarn to knit nice long mitts with a simple, playful design - in the style of your Unstrung fingerless mitts. And I'd definitely enjoy knitting them myself, because knitting makes me happy :)
IlinaThis sounds like so much fun! Congrats on 3 years :)
My favorite indy dyer is bohemia fibers. Just recently moved from Etsy to Artfire. My favorite colors are blues, and she does them beautifully! I'd love some sort of shawl/scarf. It's getting cold here in MN.
Ravelry name: MindyO1. amacnevin on Ravelry
2. This gave me a neat excuse to start browsing etsy looking at some indie dyers. I liked the colors I was seeing at taylored fibers: http://www.etsy.com/shop/tayloredfibers?ref=pr_profile The Hand dyed superwash merino in lime green, orange, blue, and pink kept drawing me back, but I think the hand dyed merino twist yarn in blue would make for a better project. :)
3. I'm on a quest currently for fingerless mitts, so if there's yardage enough for at least one mitt, I'd love to see that knit up!
4. And, it's all about the knitting for me, so it'd be the most fun to have a skein and the pattern to work on myself :)What a great idea and a great gift you offer to us !
I just discover your pattern from Ravelry and I love the mittens one ;-)
So I am going to play too:
1. My Ravelry id is amandiiine
2. My favorite dye yarns on Etsy is from Biscotte:
3. I would like to make a nice comfy cowl for winter that I will knit with another kid mohair yarn.... mmmhh !!
4. I prefer receive a skein of the yarn, we both know that time is so precious, and I think yours is as precious as mine so time you can't spend to knit for me (eventually) will be knit for you ^^I don't have a favourite, aside from my mom, so I went shopping, and fell in love with the In the Woods - Hand Dyed Fingering found here:
Love that green, and the seller is in my own province. I would love to try making a wide lacy wrap/scarf. Thanks!
sugareaterATgmailDOTcomHappy belated blogiversary, and well done on 3 years of bloggy glory! I love the idea for the competition too - it's great that you've used the event to encourage people to get into indie dyers and to help them get some recognition too.
In answer to your very astute questions above:
1. I'm sugarspunpurls on Ravelry. I know - I knitted pigs. It's shameful really!
2. My favorite indie dyer of the moment is Juno Fibre Arts (http://www.etsy.com/shop/JunoFibreArts?ref=pr_profile). I first came across them at the Knit Nation fair in London this summer and I'm addicted to their 'Superstitions' colorways, which are named after British superstitions. The top colorway for me is 'Cricket' (http://www.etsy.com/listing/62861316/buffy-sock-yarn-superwash-bfl), named after the incredibly springy insects which are apparently a good omen if found in the home. I guess that's pretty convenient - if you're unfortunate enough to have to get rid of a cricket from the kitchen, you can at least invoke its powers as a good luck charm!
3. I'd love a triangular shawl that can be worn with the point at the front and the ends wrapped around the neck - kind of a backward shawl! I never would have thought I could be a shawl person before I started knitting, but when they're flipped around like this, I can totally get on board with the idea.
4. I'm such a child over the festive season that any mail makes me pretty excited. Given that the holidays are coming, though, I'd quite like to receive something that someone's knitted for me, so the finished item would be great!
Thanks again for your blog, and for such an imaginative competition!

He is the MOST AMAZING physician!
Dr. Frankhauser is the kindest, most caring physician. If he is unsure of his diagnosis, he is always willing to refer. He obviously spends additional time reading & researching because he has called after hours to share information. My children are now grown & live out of town but when they are sick, they come home so they can go to Dr. Frankhauser. He has been our family physician for many years and we will cry when he retires. He is an amazing man!!

Sterling jumps above $1.25 in Trump trade slump
* Graphic: Trade-weighted sterling since Brexit vote http://tmsnrt.rs/2hwV9Hv
LONDON May 23 European equities went into a tailspin early on Thursday, spooked by concerns the U.S. Federal Reserve could soon taper its stimulus programme and compounded by weak economic data from China.
By 0703 GMT, the FTSEurofirst 300 was down 20.75 points, or 1.7 percent, at 1,235.53, having closed at its highest level since mid-June 2008 in the previous session, boosted by investors hunting for yield in a low interest rate environment.
The index, however, fell sharply on Thursday after Fed chairman Ben Bernanke appeared to contradict his prepared statement to Congress in a live question and answer session late on Wednesday by saying the central bank could scale back the pace of bond purchases at one of the next few meetings.
Investors fear that if economic support in the U.S is withdrawn before Europe has managed to establish stable growth, fragile confidence will be shattered, potentially sending the economy into recession.
"The volatile response of equity indices to Fed Chairman Bernanke's testimony underlines the challenges the Fed faces in communicating its policy intentions," Ian Williams, equity strategist at Peel Hunt, said.
"Investors should not over-react to every shifting nuance when Fed officials speak. U.S. monetary policy was data dependent before the testimony and remains so," he said, adding the falls were more likely profit taking than the start of a correction.
Adding to the strain on equities, HSBC's preliminary survey of purchasing managers showed China's factory activity shrank for the first time in seven months in May.

There are several causes of a sore tongue and often sufferers can use their own discretion to eliminate certain things before heading to the physician. The range of problems can include caffeine allergy, poorly fitting dentures, Candida albican fungus, tongue biting and withdrawal from nicotine, along with more serious issues. The tiny papillae on the tongue move food inside the mouth, but they are sensitive, sometimes to the point of adverse reaction. Check some of these causes to see if they match your symptoms.
Other People Are Reading
Caffeine Allergies
Symptoms of caffeine allergy include tingling mouth and lips and a swelling tongue within minutes, or sometimes hours, after drinking beverages such as coffee and colas that contain high levels of caffeine. Recommendations are to eliminate these and other drinks that contain caffeine. If the symptoms continue, look for other allergens and eliminate them before adding back foods or beverages.
Yeast Infections
Candida albican fungus, commonly called thrush, is a yeast infection that shows up in the mouth as a white tongue coating that also causes discomfort. It can be treated successfully with micostatin, but the key is to eliminate certain foods from the diet, such as yeast, sugar, citrus, beer and wine, cheeses, fruit juices, cider, bread products made from yeast, mushrooms, tea and coffee. Consider eating plenty of raw garlic, using oregano capsules and taking a B-complex vitamin to help the immune system naturally overcome the fungus.
Poorly Fitting Dentures and Plaque
Many people with dentures "tongue" their teeth and irritate the papillae on their tongues. Broken edges on teeth are especially rasping to the tongue. Plaque on the back of the teeth is also a culprit. Avoid rubbing your tongue against your teeth. Dentists can provide a mouth guard that is soft and will help alleviate the problem of sore tongue caused by teeth or dental appliances.
Effects of Nicotene Withdrawal on the Tongue
When a heavy smoker ceases the habit, the mouth, tongue and throat react. They start to burn because the effects of ridding the body of these toxins uses up vitamin B, iron and folic acid, and the system goes through painful withdrawal. Doctors will generally prescribe replacement vitamins and minerals first to alleviate the pain. As painful as withdrawal may be, it is temporary and is far less injurious than continuing to smoke.
Inspect the tongue for swollen papillae with white rings around it. Numb the pain temporarily by dabbing on Ora-gel or taking Lysine-L tablets purchased from a health store. Gargle with Listerine to rinse away irritating bacteria. The symptoms will persist for a week or two until all the toxins are out of your body.
Drug Interaction
The tongue fights off bacteria and allergens by swelling to shut off their invasion. Many people take aspirin to alleviate both swelling and subsequent pain. This can exacerbate the problem because the aspirin may react with other medications, such as ACE inhibitors used to control high blood pressure. This also applies to Ibuprophen (Advil and Motrin) and Naprosyn (Aleve) in combination with ACE inhibitors. This usually happens in the first year of taking these combinations, but can also occur years later.
Tongue Cancers
If the lateral border of the tongue is painful, it is worth a visit to the doctor. The most common tongue cancer is squamous cell cancer. The tongue looks ulcerated and greyish pink. Early intervention will allow the doctor to remove the squamous cells before they affect speech and appearance. Smoking and drinking are considered contributors to this type of tongue cancer.

I love balm! I especially love Burts Bees chapstick in pomegranate, it gives me a subtle deep tint. I also really like their shimmer chapsticks, too.
I love tinted lip balms, my favourites are Benefit, Burt's Bees and Too Faced. I'll try some more when I finish them!
I personally LOVE tinted lip balms, especially when they have SPF! One of my favorites is Alba's TerraTints tinted lip balms (they come in a chapstick sized tube and have SPF 8). It leaves a gorgeous wine colored tint to my lips, and wears off well (no ugly ring around the mouth!). I've found it takes the best characteristics of lipstick, lipstain and lipbalm and combined them all into one.
Where do you buy Alba Terratints from? Your description makes me want to try them!
I do like tinted lip balms, but I think if I had a choice between two formulas that were the same except for one having tint, I'd choose the one without tint. My lips are pigmented enough that I don't really need the color and any tint in the balm doesn't really show up for me anyway hehe.
I have very dry lips, including the skin slightly around my lips, so I prefer a clear balm so I can extend the moisture past my lipline a bit. Plus I like to wear it under my gloss or lipstick.
i love tinted lip balm that are very pigmented & moisturizing like MAC TLC.. i like the stick kind too, the pot not so much since i have to dip dip dip my finger in it or use a lip brush but i'm still a fan of tinted lip balm =D

An article in Business Day on April 21 about the success of XM Satellite Radio referred incorrectly to major investors in a competitor, Sirius Satellite Radio. They indeed include an auto company: DaimlerChrysler bought $100 million of stock in 2000, worth 7 percent of the company at the time.
The article also referred imprecisely to Sirius's agreements with Ford and DaimlerChrysler. The contracts are considered nonexclusive because they let both car companies install Sirius receivers. But in offering the satellite radio option to customers, the companies agreed to sell only Sirius receivers.

It's a world's first—just like her steak dress. She calls it Volantis. Advertisement According to Deezeen, the dress was designed by "London company Studio XO and TechHaus, the technology division of the star's Haus of Gaga creative team" and was presented at the launch of ARTPOP, her third album. She wasn't piloting the dress. A guy was remote controlling her. So, for a few minutes, Lady Gaga was literally a drone (as opposed of her usual metaphorical drone self.) Let's send her to Afghanistan, I say.Photo by Getty ImagesReply63 repliesLeave a reply

Dinner on Monday night can be one of those maddening things for us.
Every now and then I have these great intentions on Sunday to have a healthy, yummy meal plan for the whole week, but then Monday comes along and lays me out flat.
Going back to work and school on Monday's is always such a shock to my system, despite it's regular appearance.
And it is so easy to throw my very yummy, but somewhat complicated, dinner plan out the window.
In those instances I am grateful for the few almost-one-pot wonders from our stock pantry items.
Here is a recent addition:
Easy Southwest Chicken Dinner
Spray a casserole dish with olive oil spray, then line the dish with about a dozen raw chicken boneless-skinless breast tenders.
Aside: Why are people eeked out by raw chicken? It's just chicken!
Of course there have been recently alive-but-now-raw chickens in my sink, so there is that.
1 can Black Beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can diced tomatoes with green chili's
1 can diced Italian seasoned tomatoes
3 Tbsp of Sour Cream
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes - make sure the mixture is bubbling and chicken is cooked through before serving.
Meanwhile bowl up some Penne or Bowtie Pasta or maybe even some white rice.
Serve over past or rice and top with cheese and sour cream.
This is a simple, easy, yummy dish that is easy to make from items you must likely keep in your cupboards already.
I am home from Christianity 21 and I had an absolutely amazing time, went total fan girl on several occasions and made friends for life. I am going to be posting some great giveaway's from the event, a link to my presentation and much more throughout this week!

THE WORLD HAS BEEN INVADED BY ALIENS! It's up to a nerdy, lazy high school kid to save it!
3.85 / 5.00 5,563 ViewsFirst things first, this isn't stolen, we built it for Playstation to promote Patapon 2.
Its a rhythm game where you control the Patapon tribe using "pata" or "pon".
As with our last game, its not meant to be a exact replica, just a flash minigame taster.
The instructions are in the game but its really no more complicated than hitting the left arrow key for "pata" and the right arrow key for "pon" in time to the music. The Patapon will tell you what combination does what and when you need to do it.
Oh and finally - there is no drum sound when you press the keys because Flash 10 still cannot respond with audio on a key press without serious lag (on PC - better on Mac). And those few nanoseconds of lag totally throws out your timing when playing this. So we left the drum beats off intentionally.
Heres my opinion of the game:
THE GOOD : awesome graphics!!it looked like the psp game!
fun and addicting gameplay
THE BAD : the timer was kinda irritating, you should remove that if you made patapon 3..
CONCLUSION: great game that gets a score of 8/10!
A great game!
I am very rhythmically inclined, but I had a hard time with this game. Since the voices were not synced to the beat, I hat to click slightly after the beat, making streaks impossible. Because this game was greatly executed in every other way, I'm going to assume that my browser or flash is at fault for this error. [:
I must say, I loved the art, and the game is very well produced. It is also very original and addicting. I will most likely purchase the actual game. (Assuming that there no sync problems exist in the actual game, it will only be 10x better.)
I know that this is more of a demo, but I would like to see it developed more. More commands. Maybe having it change a little would keep it interesting. Also, having off beat notes would make it a little more interesting as well. i.e. eighth notes, half notes, etc. But, maybe these are features of the full version.
This game deserves higher than what it has. If the the syncing was improved for those of us having problems, I am sure this rating will improve.
5/5 -- A very well executed and original rhythm game full of great art.
The animations and visual stuff was great! But the beat didnt match, and in the 3rd level the dragon or w/e outran them >.>
Decent concept
But the timing was completely off. No matter what I did, I could not stay on beat - and I have pretty decent rhythm. This could have been a good game, but its basically broken and unplayable.
The visuals were nice and the animation was smooth, but this game is pretty unplayable. The beat and the visual representation of the beat didn't match up, and the controls are not intuitive. I hope the real game is easier to play...

The perks of sex extend well beyond the bedroom...
Sex is not only pleasurable, did you know it's also good for you? It's true. The benefits of sex range from slashing stress levels to lowering your risk of cancer and heart attacks. Sex facilitates bonding and feelings of intimacy with your partner. This kind of connectedness does more than make you feel warm and fuzzy, it actually reduces anxiety and boosts your overall health.
How would you like a stronger immune system or better sleep? Action between the sheets can help you get all of this and more.
1. Get Less Colds & Boost Your Immune System
More sex equals fewer sick days. That's what the results of studies comparing sexually active people to those who are not sexually active say. Sex boosts your body's ability to make protective antibodies against bacteria, viruses, and other germs that cause common illnesses. Of course, there's more to cultivating a robust immune system than having a healthy sex life. Eating right, exercising, getting adequate sleep, and keeping up to date with vaccinations all contribute to having strong and healthy defenses against contagious illnesses.
2. Boost Your Libido
Believe it or not, the best antidote for a waning libido is to have sex! Having sex actually boosts desire. And if pain and vaginal dryness make it challenging for some women to have sex, sexual activity can help combat these problems, too. Sex boosts vaginal lubrication, blood flow to the vagina, and elasticity of the tissues, all of which make for better, more pleasurable sex and heightened libido.
3. Improve Women's Bladder Control
Urinary incontinence affects about 30% of women at some point in life. Having regular orgasms works a woman's pelvic floor muscles, strengthening and toning them. Orgasms activate the same muscles that women use when doing Kegel exercises. Having stronger pelvic muscles means there's less risk of accidents and urine leaks.
4. Lower Your Blood Pressure
Are you one of the millions of people who suffer from high blood pressure? Sex can help you lower it. Many studies have documented a link between intercourse specifically (not masturbation) and lower systolic blood pressure, the first number that appears on a blood pressure test. That's good news for individuals looking for an easy adjunct to lifestyle (diet, exercise, stress reduction) and medication strategies to get blood pressure into a healthy range. Sex sessions cannot replace blood-pressure lowering drugs to control high blood pressure, but they may be a useful addition.
5. Counts as Exercise
Like every other kind of physical activity, sex burns calories, too! Sitting and watching TV burns about 1 calorie per minute. Having sex increases your heart rate and utilizes various muscle groups, burning about 5 calories per minute. Regular sex cannot replace sessions at the gym, but a having an active, healthy sex life is a nice way to get some extra physical activity.
6. Lower Heart Attack Risk
Want a healthier heart? Have more sex. Sexual activity helps keep levels of hormones, like estrogen and testosterone, in check. When these hormones are out of balance, conditions like heart disease and osteoporosis may develop. When it comes to protecting heart health by having sex, more is better. One study in men showed that those who had sex at least 2 times a week were 50% less likely to die of heart disease than their less sexually active peers.
7. Lessen Pain
Sexual stimulation (including masturbation) and orgasm can help keep pain at bay. Both activities can reduce pain sensation and increase your pain threshold. Orgasms result in the release of hormones that can help block pain signals. Some women report that self-stimulation through masturbation can reduce symptoms of menstrual cramps, arthritis, and even headache.
8. May Reduce Prostate Cancer Risk
There are male-specific health benefits of sex, too. One study showed that men who had frequent ejaculations (defined as 21 times a month or more) were less likely to develop prostate cancer than those who had fewer ejaculations. It did not matter if the ejaculations occurred through intercourse, masturbation, or nocturnal emissions. Of course, there's more to prostate cancer risk than frequency of ejaculations, but this was one interesting finding.
9. Improve Sleep
Sex can help you sleep better. That's because orgasm simulates the release of a hormone called prolactin, a natural sleep aide. Prolactin promotes feelings of relaxation and sleepiness. This is just one of the reasons you may notice that you have an easier time falling asleep after having sex.
10. Relieve Stress
Sex is a great stress reliever. That's because touching, hugging, sexual intimacy, and emotional attachment stimulate the release of "feel good" substances that promote bonding and calmness. Sexual arousal also releases substances that stimulate the reward and pleasure system in the brain. Fostering intimacy and closeness can help relieve anxiety and boost overall health.
11. Burn Calories
Add sex to the list of activities that burns calories. One study in young men and women showed that sex burns about 108 calories per half hour! That's enough to burn off 3, 570 calories – that's a little more than the number of calories in one pound – in 32 half-hour sessions.
12. Improve Cardiovascular Health
Better cardiovascular health may be as close as the bedroom. While some people may worry that physical exertion from sex may lead to a stroke, science suggests otherwise. In a 20-year-long study of more than 900 men, researchers found that frequency of sex did not increase stroke risk. They found that sex protects against fatal heart attacks, too. Men who had sex at least twice per week reduced their risk of a fatal heart attack by 50% compared to gents who had sex less than once a month.
13. Strengthen Your Well-Being
Humans are wired for social connection. Interaction with friends and family boosts your overall health and well-being. Close connections with others, including your partner, make you happier and healthier compared to those who are less well connected. Studies prove it!
14. Improve Intimacy and Relationships
You can hug and cuddle your way to develop warm, intimate relationships. Sex and orgasms stimulate the release of a hormone called oxytocin that helps people bond. This "love hormone" as it's commonly known, helps build feelings of love and trust. In a study of premenopausal women, the more time the ladies spent canoodling and hugging their husbands or partners, the higher their oxytocin levels were. The hormone inspires fuzzy feelings and generosity, too.
15. Look Younger
Forget surgery and anti-aging creams, sex keeps you younger looking, too. Regular sex stimulates the release of estrogen and testosterone, hormones that keep you young and vital looking. Estrogen promotes younger-looking skin and lustrous locks. In one study, judges viewed participants through a one-way mirror and guessed their ages. People who had sex at least 4 times per week with a regular partner were perceived to be 7 to 12 years younger than they actually were.
16. Live Longer
What's the secret to living longer? It may be having more sex. In a decade-long study of over 1,000 middle-aged men, those who had the most orgasms had half the death rate of those who did not ejaculate frequently. Of course many factors contribute to longevity, but having an active sex life may be an easy, pleasurable way to extend your lifespan.
17. Boost Brainpower
The benefits of sex truly extend from head to toe. An active sex life might actually make your brain work better. Researchers found that sex switches the brain into a more analytical mode of and thinking processing. And animal studies suggest that sex enhances areas of the brain involved in memory.
18. Sex Makes Fertilization Easier
When it comes to expanding your family, practice makes perfect. A study performed at a fertility center found that men who had daily ejaculations for a week had higher-quality sperm than those who did not ejaculate daily. Men in the daily ejaculation group had sperm with DNA that was less fragmented than the DNA from sperm of men who ejaculated less frequently. Less fragmented DNA implies healthier DNA. And hearty sperm that have healthy DNA are more likely to fertilize an egg.

Madonna Releases New Single 'Girl Gone Wild' (Video)
Madonna premiered her second song "Girl Gone Wild" on Monday. The new track is part of her upcoming album "MDNA." The pop icon performed her first single "Give Me All Your Luvin" at the Superbowl in February with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.
PHOTOS: The Top 25 Concert Tours of 2011
"Girl Gone Wild" was recorded in London with producer DJ Benny Benassi, and his cousin -- Alle Benassi. The song was written by Vancouver native Jenson Vaughan.
The music video was shot in the beginning of February and it was directed by fashion photographers Mert and Marcus, who also did the artwork for her album.
The singer's fans will be familiar with the new music, since it focuses on getting back on dance floor. The track is upbeat and funky, but also comes with a bit of a darker edge compared to "Give Me All Your Luvin," which seemed to pay more of an homage to the singer's 80s roots.
The track was recently surrounded by controversy when Joe Francis -- known for his franchise with the same name -- complained about it, threatening to sue Madonna if she sang the song during her performance at the Super Bowl XLVI. After that, Madonna changed the name from "Girls Gone Wild" to "Girl Gone Wild."
The hit "Give Me All Your Luvin'," dropped on Billboard's chart last week after climbing into the Top 10 the week before.
The Material Girl's album "MDNA" will hit stores on March 26 and her massive 2012 world tour will kick off on May 29 in Israel and then will head to North America in August.
VIDEO: Madonna's 'Give Me All Your Luvin'' Full-Length Music Video Debuts
The collaborators and producers involved in her 12th studio album include: Martin Solveig and William Orbit, Demolition Crew, Alessandro "Alle" Benassi, Hardy "Indiigo" Muanza and Michael Malih.

Fucker Script Necklace
The idea to make this necklace came from another Anomaly necklace from the Motherlode collection. It is identical to this one with the exception of its saying Mother instead of Fucker. The two often go hand in hand so we decided to make the companion piece idea a reality.
The necklace is fully adjustable hanging 15 inches at its shortest and 18 inches at its longest.
The fucker charm measures 2 inches wide and a little over 1 inch tall.
Silver Tone: White brass charm on a silver tone chain.
Gold Tone: Yellow brass charm on a gold tone chain.
Sterling Silver: All parts are sterling silver.

Welcome to our outline and plan for our family devotions. This 9 lesson unit is all about the Fruit of the Spirit. We have previously covered LOVE. This lesson is about JOY.
Each lesson begins with worship singing scripture, includes a bible story, memory verse, and prayer, as well as an activity. Some lessons will have one activity and others will have more. The activities can be done as part of your family worship time or separately or not at all. Totally up to you. Please feel free to adjust and modify these family devotions as needed for your family.
The time frame for each lesson is 15 minutes to 20 minutes max. The lesson could take slightly longer if you add on an activity.
Let's get started. Make sure you have…
Affiliate links have been provided for your convenience
- The Jesus Storybook Bible
- Seeds Family Worship – Seeds of Character
- Seeds Family Worship – Seeds of Praise
- 9 Fruits Alive
Please read through this entire post first before attempting to go through this with your family.
Explain to your child(ren) that you will be talking about JOY. An example of this might be, "True JOY comes from having Jesus in your life and knowing that you will live forever with him in heaven. True JOY comes from the inside out; not from something that happens to us."
Read 9 Fruits Alive.
I love the idea of my kids learning God's Word by singing and it makes my heart so happy to hear them sing along and memorize scripture. To read more about the music our family is using and for all the devotions in this series please refer back to the Fruits of the Spirit Family Devotion Overview.
- Seeds Family Worship – Seeds of Character – 4. The Fruit
- Seeds Family Worship – Seeds of Praise – 9. Sing for Joy
Read the story He's Here on page 176 of The Jesus Story Book Bible.
The Story: The birth of Jesus.
Discussion: Use this story to discuss with your child(ren) how Jesus is the best promise ever fulfilled and is God's gift to us. Jesus allows us to have the hope of heaven and is the best reason we have to be filled with JOY.
Galatians 5:22-23 New Living Translation (NLT)
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
Lord, teach our family to seek the JOY that comes from knowing You, rather than the temporary happiness of the world. Teach us to joyfully serve without grumbling or complaining.
Make a Joyful Noise
Directions: Grab supplies from around the house and make impromptu megaphones, microphones, drums, guitars, and any other instrument your heart desires. Use your imagination. Sing your favorite worship song together, or even one of the worship songs from this lesson, as a joyful noise to Lord.
Psalms 100:1-2 says "Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy."
If your family is like our family it will probably sound more like shouting and look like everyone is running around in circles but if it is being done with a heart that is wanting to please God it is a sweet act of worship.
I would love to hear any feedback if you decide to do this with your own family!

Genuine Parts Co posted profit that dropped 2.6% in its last quarter of the year due to challenging economic factors and adverse rates in currency exchange that hit the distributor of automotive replacement parts top line.
Revenue for the quarter was worse than expectations on Wall Street, forcing shares down 1.6% in trading Tuesday before the opening bell.
The operator, based in Atlanta, of NAPA Auto Parts began as just an independent garage but has now grown through different acquisitions of companies in the industrial and automotive industries.
Over this past summer, Genuine Parts acquired an automotive company in Australia to make its presence their bigger. Outside the United States, the company does some business in Mexico and Canada.
With close to a fifth of Genuine's sales generated outside the U.S., the company has been hit by a strong U.S. dollar which makes the products it sells more expensive outside the U.S. and lowers revenue once it is repatriated.
In the most recent period, the U.S. dollar cut about 3% of the company's top line and hit earnings by as much as 3 cents per share.
Tom Gallagher the CEO at Genuine said that when the company enters its final quarter of the year, they anticipated a challenging sales period. That said, he added, the company was pleased with its positive underlying growth in sales in its automotive business and the solid industry fundamentals supporting its growth initiatives.
He added that the nonautomotive businesses of the company and in particular the electrical distribution and industrial segments had been dragged down by tough macroeconomic conditions.
Profit overall for the company during fourth quarter was $161.3 million, down from its $165.6 million for the same time one year ago.
On a basis of per share, profit remained flat at just $1.07.
Revenue reached $3.68 billion equal to 3.7%.
Analysts projected that earnings would be $1.01 per share with revenue coming in at $3.75 billion.
On Tuesday, the business also increased its dividend for the quarter by 6.9%.

Experiential learning has become a hallmark of undergraduate education at UNK. We currently fund student research projects through Programs of Excellence funding and SET Fee funding. The Pepsi Experiential Learning Program will be for non-paid internships, student teaching opportunities and other similar opportunities. It will primarily be used to help students with out of town travel and lodging costs involved with their experiential learning experience. It will be limited to a maximum of $500.
Students are encouraged to apply for these funds. Highly meritorious proposals directly impacting student experiential learning opportunities will be approved each year. The Chancellor of the University has final approval authority for use of the funds.
Application Process:
Applications should be directed to the Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs (SVCASA), Room 1000, Founders Hall. Completed applications must include the standard form; however additional documentation that can assist the selection committee in its deliberation is encouraged. Applications require the approval of the department chair and dean of the college. Copies should be kept at the department level for assistance to students in the reimbursement process until the reimbursement is completed.
A selection committee comprised of the SVCASA and Dean of Student Affairs will review applications and recommend proposals to the Chancellor for final approval. Applications for Fall opportunities must be received by July 1 with a decision by July 15, applications for Spring opportunities must be received by November 1 with a decision by November 15, and applications for Summer opportunities must be received by April 1 with a decision by April 15. The SVCASA will notify applicants of awards, once a decision has been made to fund a request or not, notification will be sent to the student, dean and department.
Application forms can be found on the Academic and Student Affairs Forms page. Please direct questions regarding the application process to Tami Plugge at 8885 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Reimbursement Process:
Classification of Recipient: Regardless of whether a student is employed by the University of Nebraska at Kearney or not, any person awarded a grant from the Pepsi Experiential Learning Fund will be considered a student rather than an employee for purposes of reimbursement. Please direct questions regarding the reimbursement process to Tami Plugge at 8885 or email@example.com.

Dear Kishor,
You should negotiate with your uncle the price that the third party is willing to pay for the land and payoff your uncles proportionate share to make the land in your name. So if your father and uncles share is 50% and the third party is willing to pay say Rs, 10,00,000/- for the land, you should make a fair assessment and negotiate it with the third party at say Rs. 9,00,000/- and pay off your uncle Rs. 4,50,000/- to get the land title in your name.

Malawi to allow Sudan's Bashir in for summit
Malawi will allow Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir into the country for a regional trade summit starting on Friday and has no plans to arrest him under an International Criminal Court warrant, a senior government official said on Thursday.
Malawi believes in brotherly coexistence between COMESA states and beyond so we will not arrest him. He is a free person in Malawi, Deputy Foreign Minister Kondwani Nankhumwa told Reuters.
The decision will likely lead to the further diplomatic isolation of Malawi's President Bingu wa Mutharika, who is locked in diplomatic row with major aid donor Britain and earned
international condemnation after government forces killed 20 protesters at anti-government rallies in July.
COMESA is the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa.
The ICC issued an arrest warrant last year for Bashir on charges of orchestrating genocide in the Darfur region, where as many as 300,000 people have died since 2003.
The European Union in August expressed concern about a second visit to Chad by Bashir, saying he should have been arrested. Bashir has also gone to countries including Kenya, Djibouti and China since warrants have been issued.
The ICC earlier issued a warrant in March 2009 for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Bashir has dismissed the charges by the ICC, the world's first permanent court for prosecuting war crimes, as part of a Western conspiracy.
The influential international right group, Human Rights Watch, said Malawi was bound by its international obligations to arrest Bashir.
Malawi should instead uphold its commitment to justice for grave crimes by cooperating with the ICC, as civil society across Africa has called on their leaders to do, said Elise Keppler, senior counsel with the group.

When I was going to school in Mexico one of my friends was dating a senior. So one day he tries to set me up with some goth chick. Mostly due to the fact that I listen to rock music (which is rare down there). Needless to say that didnt work out mostly due to the fact that I couldn't bring myself to talk (DAMN YOU SHYNESS!). So when we left my friends started saying this weird scenario where me and her would sneak of in the middle of the night and go to the cemetery and have satanic sex. We all (but mostly them) had a good laugh at my expense. 2 weeks later my mom comes home from visiting my grandma and asks me if I had been sneaking of to the cemetery at night. Took me a while to remember what she was talking about, Im not sure if she knows the whole story or if she was to embarrassed to ask me about the sex part too.
Ever had a rumor be spread about you?

One might expect Wiener schnitzel and dumplings at a place with this name. Instead, what you find at this fantastical, big post-modern dining room a short walk from the ocean is a menu offering Vietnamese happy pancakes (a wheat flour pancake topped with shrimp), roasted duck with cherry-ginger sauce, and roasted pork tenderloin with goat cheese wrapped in shredded filo.
Hans Rockenwagner, the congenial European-trained chef, has created a setting that is as eclectic and audacious as his food. Playful log-cabin motifs overhead blend with post-modern accents in Souththwestern colors -- Daniel Boone meets Michael Graves.
The kitchen's reach is impressive, if not always successful. Look for dishes like sauteed jumbo shrimp over crisped noodle cakes with black bean sauce, and the nicely charred roasted duck set over a cherry sauce accented with ginger. Among starters, a construction of lightly smoked Atlantic salmon, potatoes and creme fraiche was ordinary. Moreover, the advertised caviar turned out to be flying-fish eggs that were mixed in with a salty sauce. The best part of the crab souffle was the intense lobster sauce served with it; the souffle itself had mostly air going for it.
Desserts are splendid, particularly the warm chocolate tart with a hazelnut parfait, and a nougat parfait with fresh berries. Rockenwagner has a well-selected, highly personal wine list with fair prices.
