Among the scientists, none fielded more Hot Papers during 2008 than Kuo-Chen Chou of the Gordon Life Sciences Institute and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. His 17 Hot Papers published since 2007 cover a variety of sequencing tools for predicting protein location (e.g., "Euk-mPloc: a fusion classifier for large-scale eukaryotic protein subcellular location prediction by incorporating multiple sites," J. Proteome Res., 6[5]: 1728-34, 2007). Thirteen of these reports were coauthored with another of the featured scientists, Hong-Bin Shen.
Rudolf Jaenisch of the Whitehead Institute at MIT, who's interviewed in this issue, contributed to 13 Hot Papers, primarily on reprogramming fibroblast cells to a pluripotent state comparable to embryonic stem cells.
The list is also notable for the number of researchers previously interviewed in these pages or featured at the ScienceWatch.com site: Georgia Tech's Zhong Lin Wang (November/December 2008), whose Hot Papers report on nanogenerators and other materials; Andre K. Geim (July/August 2008), who, with Manchester colleague Konstantin Novoselov, has published recent Hot Papers on graphene; Virginia M.-Y. Lee (January/February 2007), who has contributed to nine Hot Papers on neurodegenerative disease, joined by coauthor and Penn colleague John Q. Trojanowski; and Salim Yusuf (September/October 1993) (see also), whose Hot Papers report on therapy in cardiovascular medicine.
Ji-Huan He (see also: 1 ¦ 2) has written on the variational iteration method and other mathematical concepts. Chemist Benjamin List's Hot Papers focus chiefly on asymmetric catalysis. Donald P. Schneider has made the most of his contribution to highly cited reports from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, with investigations of quasars and other phenomena. And Hiroaki Ohnishi, this year's sole high-energy physicist, is a member of the PHENIX Collaboration, studying quark-gluon plasma and other states of matter.
The list of 2008's most-cited papers is striking for the prominence of physical-sciences reports in the top spots—especially those on iron-based superconductors, a topic that accounts for the #1 paper and three others in the top ten (#5, #6, #7). Theoretical physics, and specifically string theory, also registers strongly, with several papers examining recent refinements to M-theory (#9, #12, #29, #34, #35, #40; see also Physics correspondent Simon Mitton's Top Ten column in this issue).
Overall, the New England Journal of Medicine makes the same strong showing as in recent years, accounting for 12 of the 42 papers.
And one 2008 paper, although technically a review and therefore excluded from the list, certainly merits an honorable mention. "A short history of SHELX," from Acta Crystallographica A (G.M. Sheldrick, 64: 112-22, January 2008) was cited a whopping 3,000 times by December 2008, demonstrating that this system of programs for small-molecule determination is still finding wide application after more than 30 years in existence.

October 19, 2012 Brainstorming, Career Coaching, Coaching Questions, Coaching Tips, Coaching Tools & Exercises, Raising Awareness, Vision This article follows on from 7 Career Coaching Tools and Ideas For Clients Who Have Absolutely No Idea What They Want! So, here are 7 MORE Career Coaching Tools and Ideas for the client who wants a new career - but has absolutely no idea where to start! 'Future' Self Exercises and Inquiries Part 3. (Parts 1 and 2 can be found here) A final idea is to ask them to write out what a day in their ideal work day would look like. The more detail they go into the better - you can ask them to use their 5 senses, to start from the moment they wake up and until they get home at night. How they feel is just as important as what they are doing. Use the 5 Ws - Who (are they working with)? What are they doing? Why are they doing it? Where are they doing it? When (or How often) are they doing it? Then, explore that together for themes, values and ideas. 'Needs' Work. We know about values, but what about needs? When we don't meet our needs, we often sabotage ourselves as we try to meet them unconsciously. And sometimes we really limit ourselves when we expect our 'work' to meet all our needs. So, one way to get underneath to the client's real needs is to ask the question "Why?" First ask what they would like their 'work' to give them. Then for each answer, ask "Why do you want that? What does that give you?" and keep asking "Why and What does that give you?" until you get to the real underlying need - which is likely to be value words like love, respect, connection, order. Now your client can find ways to meet those needs in LIFE instead of the workplace and possibly open up new career ideas and possibilities. A great follow-on or addition to simple strengths and weaknesses is a 360 review exercise (simple form available *FREE* here) where they ask other people for honest feedback on their strengths and weaknesses. They can use this career coaching tool even if they're not currently working by asking friends and family as well as past colleagues/employers they might still be in touch with. Don't Stop at Strengths, Identify their Talents! (the things they do naturally and come really easily to them). A great resource for this is Marcus Buckingham's "Now Discover Your Strengths". He describes talent as, "Any recurring pattern of thought, feeling, or behaviour that can be productively applied." Therefore being charming, persistent or responsible (and even being stubborn or nervous if it means you stick to your guns or worry and identify problems!) are TALENTS. So, once your client has identified their talents you can ask, "Where would this talent be useful?", "In what industry, job role or career could this talent be considered helpful?" Find out what their new career MUST and must NOT have. MUST haves are their 'minimum requirements' and 'Must NOT haves' are things that help rule out unsuitable careers. One way to kickstart this process is with The Love and Loathe List where they identify what they love and loathe in their current job - and then spend time reflecting and learning from their answers. What Makes My Heart Sing? This simple tool is inspiring and uplifting. Used as is, it is helpful to boost your client's energy and for them to see that happiness is much easier to achieve than they think. To turn this into a career coaching tool, ask them to complete it as "What Makes My Heart Sing at Work?". Then when you review the exercise with your client, this helps with work values, elements to include in their work-life and may even give more direct clues and pointers as to possible careers. Finally, encourage them to try new things, activities, courses, or even take up an old hobby to stimulate their minds and imagination. Anything new or different will get them creating new neural pathways and opening their minds. And remember that sometimes a client will have great ideas or know what they want to do - but be afraid to say it aloud or go for it. Our job may be to help them see the truth that is already there - and support and encourage them to follow it. "When making a decision of minor importance, I have always found it advantageous to consider all the pros and cons. In vital matters, however, such as the choice of a mate or a profession, the decision should come from the unconscious, from somewhere within ourselves. In the important decisions of personal life, we should be governed, I think, by the deep inner needs of our nature."

Classroom application - Section 2: Teaching Strategy
Help Wanted!
Lesson 4 of 10
Objective: SWBAT write a well-organized paragraph to apply for classroom jobs
Cue Set
Scholars have 1 minute to jot down the characteristics of a strong paragraph. This is the first writing that I ask scholars to do and I want them to have an opportunity to access their prior knowledge. They discuss the characteristics of a strong paragraph with partners for 30 seconds and then I choose 3 friends randomly from my cup to share.
The idea here is not that I am explicitly teaching about strong paragraph structure, I am simply and quickly giving scholars the opportunity to remember what they already know about strong paragraphs so that they can link it to their new learning.

Teaching Strategy
I explain that on all teams, each teammate has a special job, or responsibility. The quarterback is responsible for throwing the ball and calling the plays. The receiver is responsible for catching the ball. Just like individuals on a team have a specific role, we have a specific role on our team. Today, we're going to apply for jobs.
I distribute the classroom application and classroom manager description. I explain that as the year progresses, their application will be expected to become more rigorous. Each quarter we apply for jobs. Quarter 1 is the application plus one paragraph describing why i should hire you. Quarter 2's requirement is the application with a 2-paragraph essay, quarter 3 is the application with a three paragraph essay and quarter 4 is the application with a five-paragraph essay.
I read through each job description - paraphrasing when necessary. Scholars have the opportunity to ask questions. I encourage students to take notes in the margin/underline and highlight as needed.
Now, we take a brain break. Since this lesson is taught during the first week of school, scholars lack stamina. Taking a brain break allows scholars the opportunity to get up, stretch their legs and provides oxygen & blood to the brain. This enhances engagement for the remainder of the lesson.
Then, I model how to complete the application (using my ladybug visualizer). I then show them the hamburger graphic organizer for how to write a paragraph. There is a space for an introduction sentence, three supporting details and a closing sentence. The introduction sentence tells the reader what you're about to say (i.e. "I want to apply to be the paycheck manager.") The three detail sentences tell why I should hire you (i.e. I earned an "A" in math last year and am good with numbers.) The closing sentences re-states the opening sentence (i.e. Therefore, I want to be the paycheck manager). I model using the graphic organizer.
Resources (2)
Guided Practice
Have students work with a partner to play the game called "Scenarios." I pretend to have an English accent and read the following "Scenarios." Students have 2 minutes for each "Scenario" to write the part of the paragraph. Scholars write on dry erase boards. I give on the spot feedback and have scholars fix/improve sentences on the spot. "Scenarios" are listed below:
1. Michael wants to apply to be the Paycheck Manager. Write a strong topic sentence with your partner on the dry erase board.
2. Crystal is applying for the Line Leader. Write 2 sentences that she might use to support WHY (reasons & evidence) she would make a good line leader.
3. Alex is applying to be the Cafeteria Manager. Write a strong concluding sentence.
Resources (2)
Independent Practice
Scholars the use hamburger graphic organizer to independently organize their paragraph. Then, they write their paragraph and complete their application. For most of my scholars, writing a single paragraph is review.
However, there are a few scholars in both classes who struggle a bit with writing (two of whom moved to the US 4 months ago). I pull a small group of scholars who need more support to the back of the classroom. With this group, I give them sentence stems. For example, I might write on the board, I want to apply to be... Then, I interview them to find out what they want job they want. After that, we practice using the Classroom Manager Description to find the correct spelling of the job they want. For my two scholars who are new to the country, I use some Spanish to ensure that they understand the task, topic and what each job entails.
Resources (2)
In order to close out the lesson today and help scholars solidify what they learned, scholars turn and tell their friends the components of a strong paragraph. This is a quick closure because I want to make sure that scholars maximize their time today during the guided and independent practices.

When I was growing up in the 1980's we had a rotary dial phone. You put your finger in a numbered spot on a circular dialer which clicked as it returned to its place and registered the 7 or 10 numbers you selected. It took a full 10 to 20 seconds to complete a call and was really annoying if the number had a lot of 8s or 9s! Then came touch-tone phones. You pushed a button, it beeped, and you could make a call in two and a half to three seconds. Back in those days, a phone was simply an instrument to talk with someone voice to voice. Nowadays, phones are "smarter"; they are "smart" phones; and they do everything but make coffee for you in the morning, although soon I think you can program them to start your coffee maker before you wake up. You can send or receive emails, text, Facebook, "Skype", play games, study French, listen to music, record love letters, pay your bills, watch movies...your phone can be the interface for your life, and it is, for many people!
These days when you get a phone -- a "smart phone", the first thing you do is to find the best "apps" for it. Thousands and thousands of apps are available, with more being created every 5 minutes. Your apps define the interface of your life. But I had this thought...
...there's God apps... throughout the Scriptures, and they're FREE -- thousands of them, every one "GUARANTEED" to be a top-level "interface" for your life! Check out the love app! [Matthew 22:37-39] Or the Spiritual Fruit App! [Galatians 5:22-23] Or the Unity App! [Ephesians 4:2-6] The Scriptures are just filled with apps to apply to the interface of your life!
Spend some time in God's free "App Store" today, it's just an opened Bible away! Apply God's apps to your life -- you'll be dialing into His will, purposes, power, and His infinitely interesting universe!

Atanas, the following web-page and graph would give you an impression on how the 5 solar system leaving crafts are faring, distance over time, but doesnt give speed. Anyway, what you'd want to know is speed at infinity (from the Sun), i.e. the speed the probes will have when the Sun has no more gravitational influence on them.

Truth or Dare with Tasha
Author's infos
Gender: female Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Wed 9th of June 2010
Sarah had an interest in sex for a long time. At fourteen, she'd become obsessed with getting on xnxx.com and looking up videos. Her favorite were girl on girl videos or and things of that nature. She'd controlled her addiction before she turned fifteen and now, at eighteen, she was interested in having sex.
She had lots of lesbian fantasies, especially with this one sexy girl that was in four of her classes at school. The girl's name was Tasha.
Tasha was a five foot six blonde with smallish tits and a nice ass. Tasha was a slut, but, sadly, she was straight. Sarah didn't care, she still fantasized about Tasha.
Sarah was about five foot five or six inches, big tits - 48D- and an ass twice as big as Tasha's. Her stomach was pretty flat considering her large assets and she showed them off. Despite her constant teasing, she was a virgin. Sarah liked wearing tube tops and miniskirts that didn't often conceal the bottom of her shapely ass- one which wasn't usually panty clad. Sarah was the ultimate tease at her school.
Today, Sarah woke up wet. Her dream had been about Tasha, who had begged to be fucked. Sarah had no time to masturbate, so instead she decided to take thingss step further in her smutty dress.
She showered and toweled off. She combed through her shoulder length brown hair and then ran her hands through it. Her hair looked like she'd just gotten out of bed after a night of crazy hot sex. She put on a low-cut tube top without a bra- her tits held up the top nicely- and mini shorts, no panties. When she walked, her tits and ass jiggled just a bit. She put on five inch heels before heading out the door.
At school, boys lustful eyes and girls envious ones stared after her. She liked that. Her top, sky blue, made it clear that her nipples were hard.
Sarah stopped at her locker. While she was putting in the combination, someone had other plans. Hands wrapped around her and grabbed her tits. A knee made contact with the bottom of her skirt, hitting her wet pussy. Lips kissed her neck.
"Shawn," she moaned softly.
Shawn was a basketball player. A sexy basketball player. He was tall and nearly every pound of his weight was muscle.
"You got it babe," he said into her neck. He pinched her nipples between his forefinger and thumb. Sarah gasped.
"Not here, Shawn," she mumbled, not all that resistant.
"It seems like not ever, Sarah," he said, letting her go. She pulled down her skirt and turned to face him. "Every time I make a move, you push me away. Do I have to come out and say it?"
"That would be nice," she said with a smile.
He put his thumb under her chin and tilted her face up. She looked up at him as his lips descended on hers. Her arms wrapped around his neck, his around her waist. She was on her tiptoes. He right hand moved down, going up her skirt.
That's when Sarah pulled away.
The bell rang, but neither of them made a move. The school was known for sluts and man whores. Even the teachers could tell someone, kids skipped class to fuck in the bathroom. There were other kids in the hallway, too. Some girl was giving a guy head while another guy was fingering a girl. The only thing administrators yelled at anyone for or gave a detention out for was actually fucking in plain sight. Some girls would discretely pull out a guys cock during class and "sit on his lap." Teachers didn't care, so long as they didn't moan too loud.
"See," he said with a sigh. "You know what I want. But you won't let me have it."
"I have no clue what you're talking about," she said, lying.
"That hot ass of yours," he said softly, kissing her neck. "I want to take your virginity, Sarah."
Sarah squirmed, she was already wet, knowing that Shawn wanted her only made it worse. Shawn looked at her, waiting for a response.
"I'm waiting for my wedding night, Shawn."
He rolled his eyes playfully. "You're waiting for your wedding night," he said sarcastically. "Yet, it's alright for me to do this." He pinched her nipples and groped her chest. "Or this." His hands dropped to her ass and his hands went up her skirt, feeling up her ass. Sarah let out a soft moan. "But this is wrong?" Two of his fingers crept forward, moving to her love hole.
"Yes," she gasped.
"What about this?" Two fingers from his hand that had stayed on her ass moved toward her pucker. They circled her asshole, teasing.
Sarah hesitated. "Um…" She didn't respond. Shawn took that for a yes. And Sarah didn't fight.
He pulled her by the hand to a janitor's closet that the janitors knew not to go in. At the moment, it was empty. He kissed her again. She didn't fight. She closed her eyes and sighed as he hiked her skirt up so it was around her waist.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"I've wanted you for along time, Shawn," she said. "I would give you my entire self, but there's not ring on my finger." Sarah hadn't realized, bit obviously Shawn's pants were already down. She bent over a stool and he grabbed her ass. He rubbed his dick on her hole.
"No!" she hissed.
"Don't be such a baby," he said, rubbing his had all over her wet pussy in circular motions. "I'm not. But I've been told it hurts the girl if you she takes it in the ass without lube."
Sarah moaned as his head rubbed her, he put it on her clit and teased her for a moment.
"Fuck, Shawn!" she moaned.
He grabbed her waist again with one hand, then with the other guided his dick into her ass.
"Oh, fuck!" he whispered loudly. "Girl, your ass is fucking tight!"
It didn't feel too great, it actually kind of hurt, but Sarah let Shawn continue anyway. Next to Tasha, Sarah liked Shawn the best. She moaned and told him how wonderful he was and how big his dick was. And it was, probably about seven inches.
Finally, Shawn made the big announcement Sarah had been waiting an eternity for.
"I'm cumming!" he said, pounding her ass more furiously as he spilled his seed.
Sarah moaned, a real moan. This part actually felt pretty good, being filled up- being used.
Shawn finally pulled out and they cleaned themselves up best they could.
"That was amazing," Shawn said, kissing her passionately. "First time a girl's let me do that. You should let me take care of your sweet virgin pussy next."
Sarah didn't respond, instead she wrapped her arms around his neck for another wet kiss.
Sarah was determined to be used again. But next time by Tasha. She had to admit, looking back, that letting Shawn fuck her without any strings attached was pretty hot. It made her wet to think about getting used like that.
She started going out with Shawn. He asked her a day or two after fucking her ass. She said yes, of course. Instantly, she gained ten more friends. Just by being Shawn's girlfriend. One of these new friends was Tasha.
They started hanging out a lot. Sarah found out that Tasha was a drinker, not heavily, but when she did she could get pretty wasted. Sarah lied and said she was pretty much the same way.
It had been a month that Shawn and Sarah had been dating, things were already pretty serious. It was mostly a sex based relationship. She sucked him off at least five times a week, occasionally several times in just one day- but that as usually a weekend thing.
He fucked her ass a lot, and she actually started to enjoy it. Not so much because it felt good, ass fucking wasn't all it was cracked up to be, but because he was using her. All the sexual tension he'd built up for her, taking it out on her now without really loving her. Sarah didn't care. She liked being his girlfriend/whore. Mostly whore, but the official title was girlfriend.
Sarah's phone vibrated in her pocket. "Hello?"
"Sarah? It's Tasha."
Sarah immediately got butterflies. "What's up?"
"There's this party tomorrow night and I heard you hadn't got you invite yet, so I was asked to deliver the message."
"Okay, I'll call Shawn and let him know we're-"
"No, Sarah, just you. This is a girls only thing."
"Isn't that a little crappy-60's-movie?" Sarah said with a giggle.
"C'mon Sar, it'll be fun. Please? For me?"
Anything for you, she thought. "Sure. I'll keep it secret. Tomorrow night?"
Tasha laid out the rest of the details. Apparently being a popular-ish girl meant letting the other popular sort of girls tell you what a girl night was.
Sarah had to wear a low-cut pink shirt- no problem since that was all she owned- and a short skirt- also not an issue. Black lace panties, no bra. Tie her hair up in a ponytail and doll herself up with makeup.
So, before the party, Sarah busted out a pink spaghetti strap top cut so low that you could see the tops of her areolas. Her miniskirt was from back in her days as a cheerleader, so it was obviously tight and short and very sexy.
She put her toothbrush and hairbrush in a pillow. Tasha told her not to bring a change of clothes, she'd have things to change into for the next day at her place.
Sarah's mom gave her a ride to Tasha's, thinking it was some innocent slumber party- Sarah was a good liar.
Tasha and most of the other girls were already there. Only Jackie and Amy were missing.
Drinks were poured and Sarah was pretty sure she could smell pot from upstairs. Tasha, Sarah and everyone else started with a few shots of Vodka.
One girl went upstairs, probably to either smoke with or fuck Tasha's brother, the only male in the house who had no intention of coming downstairs anytime soon.
They turned up some music and danced and fooled around for hours. It was around one o'clock when they finally turned the music down and everyone sat in a circle on Tasha's living room floor. Her parents weren't going to be home for a few days, but they already knew about the party and Tasha's love of alcohol. They didn't really care.
"So, what next?" a girl Sarah didn't know asked.
"I wanna try something crazy," Tasha said. "Something never done before."
"Spin the bottle!" someone said excitedly.
A couple girls said things like "I'm not lesbo, you must be crazy." Tasha, being the leader, quieted them down and made it clear that no one was playing spin the bottle.
"Truth or dare?" the same girl said in a slightly crestfallen voice.
"That one's good," Tasha agreed. Everyone was quick to nod and agree, especially Sarah. "Okay, let's set up some rules. First, there is no backing out of a dare and you can't refuse to tell a truth. If you don't, then you can leave, I don't want babies at my party. Second, no repeats. And every dare has to be better than the last. Every truth has to dig up a bigger secret than the last. If someone tells a truth you don't like, too bad. No getting mad. 'Kay?"
Everyone agree. Tings started out simple.
"Truth or dare?" Tasha asked Amy.
"Are you a virgin?"
Amy asked Jackie. Who also wanted truth. Amy asked Jackie how far she went with a guy. Jackie pulled off a black jelly bracelet and tossed it at Amy. "Sex." Jackie said. "With three of your ex-boyfriends. And your current one."
Everyone had taken truth so far, everyone had gotten a turn. All the questions were somehow related to how far someone went with a guy. "How long have you kissed a guy?" "Has a guy ever fingered you?" "Favorite position?"
It was Sarah's turn. She picked Tasha. Tasha answered truth again. "How far are you would you go with a girl?" Sarah asked.
"Anything the girl wanted," Tasha said, turning bright red. Similar questions followed. "Ever kissed a girl?" "Do you fantasize about girls?" (Sarah was glad she didn't get that question.) "Would you ever eat another girl?" and so on.
On Sarah's next turn, she picked dare. Jackie was the asker.
"I dare you to … take off your skirt and show us your pussy."
Sarah didn't protest, but she turned red. She pulled down her skirt and tossed it in the corner. She opened up her legs and spread her pussy lips. Her sex was moist.
Sarah picked Amy, who'd licked her lips when Sarah pulled off her shorts. Amy, foolishly, picked truth. "Do you like girls?"
"I fantasize about girls, but I've never done anything with another girl."
Amy picked a girl, Morgan, who chose dare. "I dare you to touch Sarah's pussy."
"Like how?"
"You gotta rub her clit till she moans."
Morgan crawled forward and spread Sarah's pussy lips. She pinched Sarah's nub inbetween her thumb and forefinger and rolled it around. Sarah bit her lips. After about a minute, Morgan went a step farther and licked her fingers, coating them with saliva, before going back to Sarah's clit. Sarah let out a low moan. "Ohhh, fuck." Everyone giggled, including Sarah.
The dares got more and more sexual, everyone was done with truth. Everyone got dared to take off their clothes until no one was wearing anything. Amy had to finger herself to orgasm and Callie had to lick up Amy's juices. Morgan had to lick and kiss Jackie's pussy for a five minutes or until she came. Every girl had done something to the other one. Tasha had to finger Melanie and Sarah had to suck Vanessa's clit. There were about ten girls at the party, minus the girl who was upstairs with Tasha's brother.
Eventually Tasha turned a little pink when it was her turn to be the asker. She picked Sarah. "I dare you to eat me out till I cum."
Sarah turned red, but didn't hesitate to kneel in front of Tasha's wet sex when she was sitting on the couch. She rubbed Tasha's clit with her thumb, she sucked Tasha's labia into her mouth. Tasha's loud moans filled the living room, her legs wrapped around Sarah's head.
"Oh, fuck!" Tasha moaned. "Don't stop. Oh my God! Yes, yes, yes! Right there! Ah, lick me! Ah, fuck! Yes, oh fuck yes! Don't stop, Sarah. You're so good. So good!"
Tasha's moans made Sarah even more wet. She slid a finger into her own pussy while she ate Tasha. Sarah's tongue ran up and down Tasha's slit, not yet entering her. Sarah wanted to tease Tasha, she was a smart girl. Sarah knew if she wanted to she'd beg for it. Sarah decided to start really teasing with Tasha, she rolled her clit in between her forefinger and thumb like Morgan had done to her. That's when Sarah got what she wanted.
"Oh, fuck! Sarah, please! Please put it in! Please tongue fuck me! I can't take this! Fuck, fuck, fuuuuuck! Please, Sarah! Tongue fuck me!"
Sarah's tongue slid in and out of Tasha like a piston. Tasha was sweet and smelled good. Her taste and scent was driving Sarah crazy.
Tasha started moaning and screaming. Her hips thrashed wildly and Sarah had to take her fingers out of her pussy ad stop playing with Tasha's clit so she could hold her still by her hips. Sarah's mouth locked to Tasha's pussy, which was running like a faucet, and licked every drop of her up. She was cleaning her out.
"Oh, fuck, Sarah!" Tasha moaned and yelled. "You're so good!" She couldn't stop her hips from thrashing around still, she was trembling. Wave after wave of orgasm still washing over her. "Don't stop! Please! Don't ever stop! I never want this to end!" Her legs locked around Sarah's head tighter. Even if Sarah had wanted to get her face away from Tasha's still dripping sex, she couldn't have. Sarah's tongue ran up and down Tasha's slit, her tongue wrapped around Tasha's clit and the girl cried out again. "Fuck!"
After what seemed like an eternity, Tasha stopped squirming and her orgasm subsided. She was panting heavily. She finally realized Sarah's head and Sarah stood up. Her thighs were wet with her juices and her pussy was so tense it hurt.
"Wow," someone behind Sarah said. It was Amy. "You must be good."
A slow smile spread across Sarah's face.
After a few more minutes, Tasha stood up shakily. "I dare everyone to get a partner and have crazy hot sex!" She immediately locked her arms around Sarah's neck and was kissing her passionately.
Sarah knew this would be the best night of her life.

Crafty Updates
The ketchup recipe is from the Joy of Cooking. I had to check out the Joy of Cooking: All about Canning and Preserving from our library for this recipe. Why? Because my 1997 JOC edition is lame, that's why! People buy this book not for its ethnic recipes, but for "how tos" on American staples! I thought for sure I would find instructions on jams and jellies in my JOC, and I was confounded when none were present. So, consider this a PSA: do not buy the 1997 edition of JOC because it lacks the soul of the earlier editions. There is tons of info on the Internet about the family drama behind this JOC edition, so I'll spare you, but just know that it is out there if you are curious.
I fondly refer to our canned apple butter as "Look, Ma! No hands!" because I didn't have to lift a finger. The boy made and canned the butter on his own. It is soooooo good! We ended up with many jars, but I don't think we'll be sharing it much because it rocks. Those apples, Fujis, came from my inlaw's backyard - they had a lot of tiny apples that were too small for eating.
There has been a bit of knitting going on in these parts, too. These Lisa Sousa (colorway Olive) socks were my first attempt at knitting 2 socks at one time on 2 circular needles. I love this method! Since I do so many on the fly adjustments to patterns, it's nice knowing that both socks will be the same instead of one being a bit longer/tighter/shorter than the other.
The pattern is my own, but it's nothing really creative. I wanted something mindless to knit, so I made spiraling seed stitches on the top of the foot and through the leg. I can type it out if you're interested, but I'm sure that there are other sock patterns out there with this same motif.
I'm currently working on anklets from sock yarn scraps. This is Schaefer Anne yarn, one of my favorite yarns. The mohair content makes it a little itchy, but boy is this durable!
It's a simple 3x1 ribbed pattern paired with a slip stitch, Widdershin-style heel.
I think I have my perfect sock formula down now! They are knit 2 at a time and toe up using the Turkish cast on. I knit them at 9.5 stitches per inch (usually size 1s) and I increase to 72 inches. The heel is the Widdershin heel with slip 1/knit 1 heel stitch, and the bind off is doulble crochet. Yeah, this is going to be my formula until something better comes along.

We went to the zoo today...and I was DROOLING over the alpaca in the petting zoo. I WANT ONE!!! I would settle for a sheep or two...would it be odd to ask for a sheep for my birthday? I would love to be a regular pioneer woman with a garden that actually feeds us, an animal to spin and knit from and chickens that don't eat their own eggs before we can get to them. I think I'm too flaky and my chickens are cannibals...so I may never get there. But I can try, right?
I LOOOOOOOVE those socks! Here I sit, contemplating frogging my first sock AGAIN for the sake of doing it over two-at-a-time. I took so long to make this one there is no way in the world that I could do it exactly the same again!
Could you write that pattern down for me? I think our feet are almost exactly the same size. Mine might be a little wider, but they could use a little extra 'support' anyway!

According to published reports, the Department of State ("DOS") has warned that sequestration-related spending cuts could result in "major setbacks" for visa processing and travel screening delays at ports of entry.
A DOS spokesman said it was "fairly certain" that sequestration would reduce the number of officers who process visas in U.S. consulates worldwide, resulting in processing delays of immeasurable length.
Prior to sequestration, the DOS had experienced a surge in hiring within the visa adjudications field, which was helping to eliminate a logjam of travel-related applications that was reducing economically beneficial visits and exchanges with the U.S.
It is expected that Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") will also be making cuts in staffing at U.S. ports of entry. No cuts to anti-terrorism programs will be made, but fewer airport and seaport screeners, and border agents will likely mean more travel delays for people who are leaving and entering the country.
CBP reported that travelers could experience as much as 50 percent increases in wait times at major airports or other points of entry, noting that both domestic and international travel would be impacted.
People coming into the country by car or on foot will also likely face delays in screening and processing as well.

Have been treated very badly by Olive Pizza having had about 10 orders incorrectly made. If you can't note down 5 toppings and make a pizza with those 5 toppings you cannot run a pizza restaurant! Seriously, if you order from here they will get it wrong.
The worst part is that they care so little about this that they border on the ridiculous when offing up any kind of reimbursement. I was offered a medium pizza that i would have to collect in return for at least 10 mistakes in 6 months.

Olive Pizza in Surbiton is one of many pizza delivery companies about in the local area but is also one of the best and out punches the likes of Dominos in terms of choice, taste and delivery. The pizza bases are nice and light and you get a generous amount of topping which is not covered in oil / grease unlike the big chains and not stodgy in anyway. Olive Pizza also offers a range of different sizes and the usual extras including drinks and ice cream, garlic bread and even salads and pastas… Read Full Review

STRATFORD, Conn. (CBSNewYork) — A new effort was launched Saturday to remember one of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Conn.
As CBS 2's Cindy Hsu reported, construction began Saturday on a playground in Stratford, Conn., that will honor hero teacher Victoria Soto, 27. Dozens of firefighters, police officers and volunteers took part, promising to keep Soto's memory alive.
They sang "Feliz Navidad," Soto's favorite song, as they planted trees and let go of green and white balloons in her memory
"She had a playful personality, and all of those things are playful and colorful and happy," said Soto's aunt, Denise Fagan.
Soto was one of six staff members killed in the massacre on Dec. 14 of last year. Twenty first-graders, all ages 6 or 7, were also killed when gunman Adam Lanza opened fire before shooting and killing himself.
The construction going on is part of the 26 Angels Product, an effort to build a playground in honor of each of the Newtown victims. All will be built in places impacted by Sandy.
Firefighter Bill Lavin came up with the idea.
"We are honoring the children and the teachers we lost in Newtown in a way that's healing and recovering," Lavin said.
Each playground will be personalized to the victim it is memorializing. Soto's is the fifth of 26 playgrounds to be built.
Although it is extremely difficult for Soto's family to move forward, they said they could not think of a better way to remember Victoria.
"Today, I wish that we can capture that spirit and build this playground for our children, and somehow, for the child in us," Fagan said.
All the playgrounds incorporate items that represent the victims they honor. In Soto's case, those items are flamingos – pink – and Christmas trees.
Construction on the playground is expected to take about a week.

The winter cold thickens the blood and increases strain on the heart. Average blood pressure is around 5 per cent higher in winter than in summer and that can make the difference between life and death.
A study of 11,000 people who had heart attacks between 1988 and 1997 found those who succumbed in winter were 19 per cent less likely to survive than those who were struck down in summer. There was no difference in the number of resuscitation attempts made during both seasons, but the winter victims were more likely to die before they got to hospital.
Evidence from Scandinavia, where the winters are more severe but the population is better prepared with warmer houses and better outdoor clothing, suggests that it is not the cold itself but our inability to cope with it that accounts for Britain's high death rate. In these northern countries there is less of a differential between summer and winter deaths.
Dr Jill Pell and colleagues from the department of public health medicine at the Greater Glasgow Health Board, who report their findings in the journal Heart, say that the lack of sunshine in winter means cholesterol levels are higher and vitamin D levels are lower, which increase the blood's tendency to clot.
The best defence, particularly for the elderly who are most vulnerable, is better heating indoors and more protective clothes outdoors, especially for the face. Breathing in very cold air can trigger a reaction leading to a heart attack but the air can be warmed by judicious use of coat collar and scarf.

What age did your baby sleep through?
(124 Posts)Hi all, I'm new on here so it's nice to meet you .
Just after some info on when your baby slept right through the night? I'm talking 7pm-7am. I have a 10 week old girl who has always been really good at night night and is currently going down at 7ish, wakes at around 2 for 5 ounces and then goes back down until 7. Like I say, it is good and I do feel lucky but I have friends with babies just slightly older who claim their baby went right through from around 8 weeks.
I'm also interested to know if you did anything different to achieve the all nighter or did it just happen?
Thank you! Xxx
Three or four years old, I think? Same with all four of them. They're biologically normal human beings
7-7? <hollow laugh>
At about 8 months! Sounds like your 10 week old is doing brilliantly.
6 weeks, and still does at 7 months bar teething/having a cold.
12 weeks here with both of my dc but I think that's quite unusual.
I think our DD was sleeping 11pm-7am at around 8 weeks, then we just gradually pushed the "bath her and put her to bed for the night" time back the way from 11pm until we got to 7pm-7am around 3 or 4 months. That worked better for us than putting her down at 7pm "for the night" which we tried at first, because she was far more restless and would end up going past the 11pm time.
I think 8 weeks is unusual for babies to sleep 7 till 7, so you have lucky friends! Great news that your baby is sleeping so well too.
DD - 14 weeks
Both bf and treated exactly the same
Still very different personalities now at 9 and 7 but at least they both sleep well
DS was about 8 weeks old, and SD was the same.
Ds tried to from about 2 weeks I had to wake him to feed him
Can't remember when I "dropped" the 10pm wake-up feed, but I do remember that we had to not discuss his sleeping patterns with friends of ours who were struggling with a non-sleeping child.
In ds' first 2 years, we had one sleepless and one disturbed night's "sleep". I think our friends went over 5 years before they had a full night's sleep (their 2nd child was just as "bad").
We did have a rule about not going in to ds' room (we moved him out of our room when he was 6 months old) until he had been crying for more than 5 minutes - but (with the exception of the two occasions mentioned above) he never did. Let's just gloss over the time he cried for 5 minutes shortly after being put down, I commented on it being unusual but he stopped just before I went in, so when I went in a couple of hours later I found him lying in a pool of vomit
I never put him down for a nap in his room (used a travel cot or his baby gym for day time naps) so he knew his cot was for sleep. We also made a point of, once he was asleep, not being quiet around him: his room was used for storage and we would quite happily go in there for things and not tiptoe around - even putting the light on if we needed to.
We did used to say that if we had been able to have another one, we'd have to have signs up around the house stating, " Remember , they're all different" as we realised we were lucky
He is now 12 and is still a good sleeper even if he is beginning to develop a bit of teenage stroppiness
My DS slept through 7-7 from about 23 weeks.
From 13 weeks he slept 7-7 with a dream feed at 10pm.
My DS dropped the 10pm feed himself.
Personally, I think bath, milk, stories, bed routine helped my DC's to sleep better but all kids are different.
Oh my god I wish. DTs are 6m old and have just dropped the 4am bottle, as in 2 nights ago, and that after doing controlled crying and weaning them off. Still doing an 11pm bottle - hoping to drop it some time before they go to school.
DD1 9 weeks, DD2 8 weeks, bar teething, and colds.
Both seemed to 'get' night time, and sleeping from birth. Yes, I know we're lucky.
One of my NCT friends, her daughter slept through from birth, and had to be woken up for feeds for the first month. After that they just tried to get as much milk in as possible during the day.
DS 16 months, consistently by 22months.
DD 18 months, at 25 months now she sleeps through about half of the time.
I would add a tired smiley but there isn't one!
Just noticed the last question in your OP. Both DS and SD (not blood related) are on the autistic spectrum so we think it was a combination of being tightly wrapped in blankets and looking at flashy light up mobiles. Those on the spectrum take comfort from being wrapped tightly in blankets and seek sensory comfort from flashing lights similar to the mobiles used which we think helped them to sleep so quickly. A lot of babies on the spectrum are unusually quiet and non-fussy too which probably contributed to it, and they probably thrived a lot more than NT kids at being in bedtime routines.
They made up for being good sleepers in a lot more ways though!
Ds1 - 15 months. Ds2 (6 months) was fed 4 times last night during the period you mention.
Both mine were 12 weeks . One was premature so really only 6 weeks I guess . I gf them from birth though.
DD1- 6months
DD2 - 6 weeks, but was then a shocking sleeper from 6 months to 2 years.
Much preferred the way DD1 did it!
<ponders the fact that DD (2.8) has slept through once this month>
<completely ignores DS (13 months)>
Depends if sleeping through counts as when they do it regularly or if they have done it.
16 months.
6 years
It's been a long time coming.
Dd1 - 2 months (honestly)
Dd2 - 36 months (again honestly )
Dd3 - not quite there at 21 months.
Did nothing differently - dd1 was obviously a blip in my non sleeping children. Oh and all mine were formula fed.
Ds1 - 15 months old
Ds2 - slept 7-7 for ten weeks between 8wks and 18wks old, then not again until he was 17months old. I was gutted...
I forget, either 4 or 6 .... years
All the best with yours !
I've heard rumours of this sleeping through thing too ....
Mine sleep well now, aged 13 and 11 !

Some of the facts of this story have been changed to protect the innocent, but for the most part this is a true story.
Gary and Donny just happened to show up at my house my senior year in High school as I was going out to look for my dogs. The dogs had
gotten loose while we were at school and now I had to go looking for them, all ten of them. I had some ideas where they would be and was
gonna walk to where they liked to go. When the guys showed up they offered to give me a ride to look for them. I told my younger siblings to stay home and if any of the dogs showed back up to tie them up. So I hopped in the car with the guys. I was really distressed about the dogs and hadn't even changed out of my school clothes.
As luck would have it I had chosen that day to wear a lot of black. I had black eye liner, black eye shadow, black mascara and black lipstick on, as well as black stirrups, black leather boots and a black oversized low V- neck t-shirt with a silver metal chain- just picture Madonna with long auburn hair hazel green eyes and a size 14 with 42Ds. We lived in the country and these dogs were hunting dogs, so I had the guys drive to
a place where I had found most of them last week when they had run away. Again as luck would have it, its a place that you pull into and then the car can be hid from the road; we used to go there to practice target shooting also. I got out of the car and called to the dogs as it started to mist. I swore about having to look for them in
my school clothes and in the rain. The guys tried to comfort me a little.
After about 5 minutes Donny was all over my backside, he had a huge crush on me. I knew this and had used him many times because of it. I had teased him many times but had never really had sex with him; I had petted pretty heavy with him and let him get a good feel, but never gone all the way. Gary and I had a love hate relationship,
one day we were friends the next day we would be trying to kill each other and sometimes quite literally. I had no idea what if any feeling he may have really had for me before that day, sometimes youth is blind. I stepped away from Donny and pushed him away, I pointed to Gary and he just shrugged his shoulders.
I asked what if he tells your girlfriend? He said he wouldn't. I said no. He turned me around to him and started rubbing his crotch against me, I could feel he had a hard on and it was a nice sized one. I went over and got in the front seat of the car, shutting the door behind me so Donny had to get in the back as Gary was in the driver's seat. Then Donny was reaching over the seat to fondle my breasts; he pulled my
shirt and poor Gary's eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw my breasts straining against my black bra. He gently reach out and fondled the one near him. Donny reach for my waistband and I warned you don't want to do that I'm having my period. Gary put his hands between my legs and pressed and called me a liar.
I was unsure what was about to happen then. My mind was racing and as much as I liked Donny for a friend and tease I did not want to have sex with him. I reach over and began to caress Gary's now hardening dick through his jeans. I leaned over and kissed him as Donny slid his hand into my pants and began to fondle my pussy. I moved a little so my ass was up higher and then leaned down and pulled Gary's zipper down with my teeth. I used my hands to free his cock, but realized there was little room in the front seat at the same time that Donny was moving to get out of the back and come to the front. I looked up at Gary and said let's move to the backseat. We both quickly got out and got in the backseat. I locked the door behind me, and as Gary climbed in he did to.
Now Donny had no choice but to stand outside and watch or get in the front and watch. Donny opted to get in the front, but accessing me in the backseat wasn't as easy and so he had to be content with watching me from the front seat. I quickly went to work on swallowing Gary's cock, he was about 8 inches long and I swallowed it all. I was sure as Gary did not have a girlfriend at the time nor he had one recently that this would not take long at all. I gently slid my mouth up and down over his cock moaning as I slid up and down it. I felt Donny's hand on my ass, as I went deep on his cock. I moved so that I could make eye contact with Gary as I slid my mouth down over his cock. I heard Donny groan behind me as he watched my lips slide down over his cousins cock. I knew that was something he had always wanted and been denied. I smiled as I came up to the head. I watched Gary's eyes and knew from the way his body jumped and reacted that he was about to cum. I took his cock most of the way in my mouth and felt his hot cum splashing into my mouth. I sucked him dry. As I sat back on my heels he suddenly jumped out of the car and slammed the door shut on me. I was bit confused and started to go after him. Donny who was still in the front seat but moving told me to stay he would see what was up. So I got myself straightened out and watched them talking outside the window. Gary just shook his head and walked away.
As Donny turned and came towards the car, I got out. It was lightly raining at this time. I asked Donny what was going on? He said Gary just needs air and tried to get me back in the car. I said no firmly and told him to tell me what was really going on. He let out an exasperated sigh and said that Gary suddenly felt guilty for making me do that. I said guilty for what? For me giving him a blowjob? Then Donny laid a big bomb on me and said don't you know he's a virgin? I had a puzzled look on my face and said oh my God no!
I went after Gary at that point who was walking down the road. I caught up with him quickly and grabbed his arm. When he spun around he was defensive. I asked him what was that matter. He said nothing. I told him bullshit. I said how can you think you made me do that? I did what I did because I wanted to. At that time it was mostly true I had wanted to blow him, again the love hate thing. He called me a liar. I asked how can you say that? He said your eyes, your face give you away. I looked at him a bit puzzled and he said your mascara is running because you were crying. I laughed and grabbed him around the neck and then kissed him, you silly boy I said. Then I explained to him that the car was all steamy and turned and pointed to the still parked car and the steamed up windows. When it gets steamy like that sometimes makeup, especially cheap stuff runs. Oh he said, then laughed. I asked him if we were ok now? He said yeah and grabbed my hand and we walked back towards the car. As we did I leaned over and whispered in his ear that his was the best tasting cum I had ever had. He looked puzzled but just smiled. I checked my makeup in the mirror of the car and saw it was rather smudged, but then again it was raining out. I went over to the ledge again and called the dumb dogs. Then knowing it was almost dinner time, I said we better go back. We all piled in the car, Donny leaned forward after a quick feel, but I moved out of the way and leaned over and kissed Gary, watching Donny out of the corner of my eye as I did. Knowing he was a virgin was a good thing at that time and I took into consideration his feelings. He drove me home. When we got there most of the dogs were back. I went on inside and started dinner for the family as they drove off.
As I said we had a love hate relationship and the next day Gary was guarded with me till he knew I was not going to use that to hurt him. Donny still was trying to get in my pants and I had to make him swear not to tell anyone about what happened. He swore not to.
There is more, but I will stop right after I tell you that three days later and at every dance afterwards Gary dedicated "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by Poison to me. To this day when I hear that song I think of him.

About this entry:
A gift to Barahir and his descendants by Finrod Felagund, in reward for the saving of his life in the Dagor Bragollach. The Ring was used as a token by Barahir's son Beren Erchamion when he sought Finrod's aid in the Quest of the Silmaril, and passed down by his descendants for thousands of years. It was still an heirloom of the House of Isildur in the Third Age.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said President Obama's outreach to lawmakers "could be better."
Manchin, speaking Thursday on MSNBC, was asked to respond to a comment by retiring Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) who said that she would give Obama a "close to failing grade" on his outreach.
Both Manchin's and Snowe's comments highlight a regular critique of Obama by some of his opponents in Congress: that at times he can be undesirably distant from Capitol Hill and too unwilling to meet with Republican members of Congress or even members of his own party.
In the interview in which she said she would give Obama a failing grade, Snowe also said she had not met with Obama since 2009.
Snowe also said she did not know who in Congress Obama regularly meets with.

I cannot remember leaving the pitch at the Millennium Stadium last weekend but I can't wait to get back on it tonight. There is a desperation across the team to get out there again and right the wrongs of the Argentina game – we owe the Welsh public a drastic improvement.
It's been a tough week. My memories of Argentina are hazy to say the least. It is the first time I have ever been knocked out cold on a rugby pitch. It was my fault – I didn't get my technique right in the tackle and Gonzalo Tiesi caught me on the sweet spot on my chin. I went out like a light – gone before I hit the ground.
I walked off the pitch but that is all lost in the haze. The first thing I remember is being in the medical room and watching the game on TV. I have watched the match back since and it did not make for good viewing.
We were well below the standard needed to win Test matches. Against a team of the quality and intensity of Argentina you are not going to win with that sort of performance. Credit where it is due to Argentina – they scored two good tries, limited our attacking game and they deserved everything they got from the match.
We are fortunate that rugby is one of those jobs where you get a chance to redeem yourself so quickly– so it is important for all of us who take the field in Cardiff tonight to make amends. That is what the fans and our coaches deserve. We have to be better.
Against Argentina at times we were tactically naïve. We played rugby in the wrong areas and should have looked to play more for territory – we lost the territory statistics by a margin. That's important to get right tonight. Secondly, our kick challenge was not good enough and against Samoa we cannot afford to be so lax again. But most costly was the simple fact that we switched off a couple of times and it cost us a couple of tries.
The preparation ahead of Argentina was good so it's understandable that the coaching team are so frustrated and disappointed. It comes down to us – the players are the only ones who can put it right. The responsibility is on us to correct the wrongs of last weekend; we have to deliver.
I'm fit and ready to go again and that is a relief. There are strict protocols to follow in returning to play after being knocked out. I did nothing on Sunday, some cardio work on Monday, got a bit more intense on Tuesday and then had contact on Wednesday before the medics gave me the all-clear.
Argentina was a fourth defeat in a row but the performances in Australia over the summer were not bad. Last weekend was a slide in performance and we know we are better than that – we still have a core of players who have fond memories of being successful in the Millennium Stadium, winning Grand Slams. Last weekend will be a motivation to get that feeling back for us, the coaches and our supporters.
We are expecting a bruiser of a game. Samoa are formidable opponents: athletic, physical and clever. Fifteen of their matchday 23 play in England or France. We beat them in the World Cup but it was one of the toughest matches I have played in my career. It was physical, very tough – you can't afford to miss tackles against these guys because they know how to punish you. And then when you have the ball it feels like you are running into brick walls against their tackling. We know what's coming.
They have improved noticeably over the past three years as they showed in the World Cup. The history books tell you that more often than not we beat teams like Samoa – but it was the same for Argentina and they beat us on our own turf.
I will be lining up alongside Ashley Beck for the first time tonight. He has the potential to be a very good player and now he has to take that regional form for the Ospreys onto the biggest stage. The scene is set for him – he has the attributes; he's big, he's agile, he's a good distributor, he's calm and cool on the ball, not afraid to take time on the ball.
Similarly, Justin Tipuric has been outstanding for the Ospreys and he faces the same challenge – can he reproduce it in a red jersey? Previously he missed out on selection because of Sam Warburton's class but this is his chance. This is what drives the squad forward, having quality of strength in depth – when you are looking over your shoulder knowing that if your levels drop there is someone who can compete for your shirt. That is how you get the best out of players at international level.

Everywhere we go, we are surrounded by sound, and that has a tremendous effect on us.
Whether we are aware of it or not. It can cause stress, induce relaxation,
bring memories back to life and so much more.
That is why I like to go outside, and capture the sounds that I hear.
It could be a busy street or a quiet garden, I listen and I record. I know both will make great sound effects and will be of great use. Hence, as a sound technician I created this site to share my passion and love and give you free sound effects.
When I first started out I was captured by the ambiance that certain sounds create. The sound of a storm has a completely different vibe form the sound of the ocean, although they are both just water banging against something. This fascinated me and my sonic adventure has been an ongoing exploration of new and exciting sound sources.
Birds, cars, rain, people, nature, there is no moment of silence. I personally love it. As a musician you learn to appreciate a good melody , a cool harmony and a nice
sense of groove and rhythm, but as a sound-engineer you develop a deep love for sounds. That is what happened to me.
join me if you will on this great sonic adventure and enjoy the ride…
Yours truly,
the sound effects hunter!

We started our course at 7pm and recieved a cleanse, tone and moisturise from Angela who also gave us some great beauty tips.
We settled into the bungalow which was like home from home.

Our evening involved another fabulous meal and at 7pm We had a make up tutorial from Angela with fantastic results.
Then we were treated to some extra dance lessons from Maureen Culliton. I learned how to line dance!
On Wednesday Bronagh gave us all a face massage as part of the aromatherapy part of the course. She taught us how to do the massage on ourselves and explained the proper oils to use. After lunch we were treated to a luxurious foot soak and Bronagh thought us how to do reflexology on our own feet and hands.
We were then treated to music from barney at 9pm where I finally learned how to jive.
Thursday consisted of learning about the oils for aromatherapy and we all received individual massages from Bronagh which topped of a great week.
We were very lucky with the weather and it allowed me to dive around the local area which is just stunning. Clogherhead is really worth a visit.
The food in An Grianan is just so delicious that I never left food on the plate and they chef should be praised for it. It was proper homely Irish food and it is a credit to them.
The bungalows were so comfortable and it was like being at home. This let us all get to know each other and I made some great friends form it, in fact I made some fantastic friends during the week and I really look forward to meeting them again.
The week proved to be the reason I joined the ICA and I will definitely be returning.
