Health Information
This is what Endura have to tell us about their Endura Energy Gels
Endura Sports Energy Gels are a convenient energy source packed full of electrolytes, energy boosters like caffeine, and a blend of immediate impact and slow release carbohydrates to sustain energy levels. You can store them on you and just take with water as you need. They are an easy way of keeping glycogen and hydration levels up and are suitable for taking either during the whole event, or to get you through when you hit the wall.
Q: Why do I need to use sports gels?
A: To ensure you can perform at your best, it's important to keep up glycogen stores while you exercise. Keeping glycogen levels up is vital to maintain energy reserves, but we all know that digesting on the run is near impossible. That's why Endura Sports Gels contain a ready to absorb carbohydrate source to over come this problem.
Q: Why do I need to have the gel with water?
A: If you don't drink water when you take gels, this can cause gastric upsets. Use them correctly and you won't have any problems. For more details on this, see Rod Cedaro's article below.
Q: How much water should I have with each gel then?
A: For each gel consumed, you should look at drinking around 250-300mL of water to keep it isotonic for best absorption. However, drinking so much water in one hit can be too much to handle. It is best to slowly take the gel over 10–20 minutes and have small sips with every portion, to reach around that 250-300 mL total.
Q: What is different between isotonic, hypertonic & hypotonic?
A: Hypotonic drinks have a lower osmolarity than the body's own fluids, which means they are more dilute and contain fewer carbohydrates and electrolytes per 100mL. This allows them to be absorbed at a faster rate and are used for rapid rehydration when no carbohydrate boost is required.
Hypertonic drinks have a higher osmolarity than the body's own fluids, so they are more concentrated. This means their absorption is slower than water, so they are most useful for glycogen replenishment after exercise. Isotonic drinks have the same osmolarity as the body's own fluids. This allows them to be absorbed relatively quickly and provide energy without hindering fluid absorption.
Isotonic drinks are the preferred composition, due to their balance between refuelling and rehydration.
Q: Endura Sports Gels contain caffeine. Why?
A: A lot of athletes use caffeine for a spike of energy for the home leg. While caffeine is not a suitable substitute to real glycogen producing energy sources such as carbohydrates, it can be used for an additional boost.
Q: Is the dose of caffeine going to be a problem?
A: In short, no. Each Endura Sports Gels only contains 8mg of caffeine, which is a small amount. It is enough to give a quick increase in energy during training, but shouldn't affect individuals who are sensitive to the side effects of caffeine. To put it in perspective,
Typical espresso coffee contains 100-150 mg of caffeine per shot;
Caffeinated soft drink contains around 40mg of caffeine per 375mL serve; and
Decaf coffee contains around 5mg of caffeine per cup.
Q: What is the sugar Endura Sports Gels are sweetened with?
A: Endura Sports Gels are sweetened with specialised branched chain glucose polymers and microcrystalline fructose to help maintain your energy reserves, so you can perform stronger and longer..
Wrapping it up...
For an easy, compact method of delivering nutrients during events, you can't go past Endura Sports Gels. When used correctly, they can provide you with that added boost to keep your performance on track. If you haven't tried them already, give Endura Sports Gels a go. For more detail on how to use them through your exercise, check out Rod Cedaro's article below.
Use Endura Sports Gels wisely and reap the benefits!
By Rod Cedaro (MAAESS) – Consultant Sports Physiologist.
Sports gels are very useful if you're serious about your exercise, but you need to use them the right way.
If you're exercising and consume a sports gel without rehydrating it, it would be too concentrated and can create all sorts of gut distress. This is commonly known as "gastric stasis" (i.e. a closing down of the gut) and can be uncomfortable. Electrolytes and carbohydrates caught in the stomach like this are actually of no use to you because they're not absorbed into the bloodstream. Think of the stomach as a holding tank – even though something may be in your stomach it isn't actually in your body. It isn't until a food leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine that the absorption process actually takes place.
Athletes competing in endurance events that down a sports gel and don't flush them down with ample water are setting themselves up for disaster! If you've ever experienced stomach problems using sports gels the chances are you've done one of the following things:
- Consumed the gel with inadequate water.
- Consumed the gel and tried to wash it down with a sports drink.
- Waited too long before ingesting the gel – you need to start eating and drinking early-on in an endurance event otherwise the gastrointestinal tract closes down.
- Consumed the gel when you've already had something in the stomach (e.g.: a sports bar).
In all of these instances you'll create a hypertonic environment in the stomach resulting in the stomach literally closing down. Many will have experienced this when they've been consuming gels and had that "sloshing" sensation in the gut, followed by a need to slow down, gut pain and possibly even vomiting.
So how do you avoid such a situation occurring?
Ensure you start eating and drinking early on in the event. For example, if you're competing in an Ironman, as soon as you get out of the water drink some sports drink (about 250 mL) to re-open your gut.
Eat and drink at regular intervals throughout the event. Set your watch on a 10-15 minute countdown repeat, each time the alarm goes off use a gel and wash it down with plenty of water.
If you want to take a sports drink or energy bar make such that you do so after a period of time 10-20 minutes following (or before) the ingestion of a sports gel.
Using a product such as an Endura Sports Energy Gels is a great adjunct to your training/racing arsenal. They are convenient and save you having to carry around litres of fluid which convert to extra weight – the last thing you want as you're climbing up a hill! You know precisely how much carbohydrate you're getting, making it easier to match your energy requirements. Most people will need between 2-4 gels per hour depending on body size, intensity of exertion and duration of the event. Just follow my tips and use Endura Sports Energy Gels wisely to reap the benefits!

2002 Russian River Valley Mondeuse
100% Mondeuse
Within our Two Acres vineyard are 99 vines of Mondeuse. Mondeuse, grown in the Savoie of France, is known for its bracing acidity and tannin. Hence, we always pick and ferment this variety separately, either blending it away or bottling it separately in the years where merited. Such was the case with the 2002, one of our finest to date. We eked out every bit of ripeness we could, picking on November 2nd, just before the first big winter storm of the season. To tame the tannins, we macerated the wine on the skins a whopping 51 days, pressing on December 23rd. Talk about your extended maceration!
Tasting Note:
Medium ruby in color. Pristine aromas of red cherries and iron with a backdrop of black licorice. As seductive as the aromas are, it's the palate of this wine that really turns me on. So silky, so smooth. The creamy texture and savory, Soppressata-like flavors lead to a stunning finish with a lick of tannin, reminding you that this is, after all, Mondeuse. Goes down so easily now but should provide at least a 7 to 8 year window of drinkability from release. (MRO - 6/3/04)

Questions to Ask Your Builder
Lots of people like to go through model homes. Some go to dream of the day when, others go to look for interior decorating ideas and to see what's new, and the rest are there to buy a new home.
You might think that the sales person is there just to sell you a home. But the sales representative should be considered as resource of information on the home, development and the area. Besides the question of how much does it cost?, and when can we move in?...Here are some other questions to note the answers to:
- Will the builder give you references of recent buyers/occupants?
- Does the builder have a financing plan established?
- Are there options in the floor plan -- can a basement or deck be added?, etc.
- Can a room such as the basement be left unfinished?
- How much customizing can be done versus standard features?
- Can appliances be up- or down-graded?
- Are there any additional fees relating to the home or development?
- Does the builder offer a warranty program?
- Does the price include landscaping? and what if the plants die within a year?
- Are there any restrictive covenants?
- What are the estimated taxes on the property?
- How is the school system rated?
- Are day care and grocery stores convenient and satisfactory?

Marc Culler and I have released version 1.6 of SnapPy. There are two sets of new features:
- Creating links formulaically, e.g. via combining tangles algebraically. See our page of examples.
- Arbitrary precision calculation of certain things (e.g. tetrahedra shapes) and finding associated number fields, a la Snap. Very basic at this point compared to what Snap can to, but here are examples of what we have so far. To use this, you need to install SnapPy in Sage, which should be easy.

Singer Miley Cyrus appeared as an advisor on the most recent episode of the NBC singing competition "The Voice" following the announcement that Ms. Cyrus will be joining the program as a judge next fall.
Cyrus appeared on the March 28 episode of the show as an advisor to the contestants. The newest episode of "Voice" featured the "knockout rounds," in which two singers compete to be selected by the judges to proceed in the competition.
The current season premiered in late February. The judges for this season, the show's 10th, are country singer Blake Shelton, Adam Levine of Maroon 5, singer Christina Aguilera, and Pharrell Williams of "Happy."
Cyrus and singer Alicia Keys will be joining the judging panel next season, teaming up with Mr. Shelton and Mr. Levine.
How will Cyrus perform as a judge?
Los Angeles Times writer Amy Reiter wrote approvingly of the "Wrecking Ball" singer's appearance on the most recent "Voice" episode. "Seems like it's going to be good," Ms. Reiter wrote of Cyrus's time as a judge. "And it's going to be fun. And it appears as if Cyrus' guidance will be truly useful to the contestants.… The advice Cyrus dispensed was specific and helpful and really seemed to have a positive effect on the contestants' performances. And the fact that she appeared to be enjoying herself was cool, too."
TVLine writer Michael Slezak agreed, writing that Cyrus "offered more specific, actionable, insightful advice over the course of the episode than Adam, Pharrell, Blake and [Christina] combined."
Emily Yahr of The Washington Post is also excited to see what Cyrus and Ms. Keys will bring to the program.
"This casting could mean great things for the show," Ms. Yahr wrote, noting that two female judges have never served at the same time on the show.
"The Voice" has done well with young viewers in the past, though Yahr notes that that viewership for the show has dropped slightly. Adding Cyrus could bring in that demographic. "If her MTV VMAs appearances are any indication, Cyrus – the youngest judge in 'Voice' history – loves to go rogue and pull stunts on camera," Yahr wrote. "'The Voice' switches over to live shows about halfway through the season, so that's quite the added incentive for viewers to tune in to see whatever crazy thing she might do or say.... Cyrus boasts a fiercely loyal – and extremely young – audience."

Bea &
Leah Koch
Interview by: Kiki Georgiou
Photography by: Julia Stotz
Bea & Lea Koch, with the help of their one-eyed, four-legged friend Fitz (Fitzwilliam Waffles, far better at the social game than his namesake Mr Darcy), not only opened an independent bookstore when so many are sadly closing their doors but created a safe space for romance aficionados and rookies alike.
Plus, it has the best name. Ever.
Girls at Library:
What's the origin story of The Ripped Bodice?
The origin story of the store is not that exciting unfortunately. It happened over one conversation, which is how Leah and I tend to work - we get an idea and we go with it. I was visiting Leah here in LA, she was driving me back to the airport and we said, you know what would be really fun…
First it was what are we going to do with our lives.
…because she was graduating college and I was graduating grad school. What are we going to do with our lives? Oh, it'd be really fun to have a store! We're both visual people, we love talking about things we love so we thought we would be good sales people and then we were like, we should have books and if we're going to have books they would have to be romance novels because that's basically all we read. It should all be romance novels. And that was it.
That was like, five minutes. Boom! Done.
Yeah! It was a quick ark. In my graduate work I was working on romance academically – I studied fashion history but I was writing a thesis titled Mending the Ripped Bodice. So, we did a lot more research, we launched our Kickstarter in October 2015 and we were open in March 2016.
How did you get into romance?
I'm the older sister. The first books we ever read were the American Girl history books. Our mom said that if you can read a full American History book you can get the doll.
You had to read it out loud to her!
…to prove to her that you understood. So I picked Kirsten…
… I read Josephina.
I loved history growing up. I loved the diaries of the American Girls, they were these beautifully packaged little things with ribbons in them to mark your place!
We tried to get them for the store but they're not in print anymore!
They were delightful and the royal ones had gilt-edged pages…
…that was very important to B!
Of course! I cared visually what my books looked like. I think that's important because I went from reading those to reading historical fiction, which to me looked very similar - ladies in fancy dresses - and then I seamlessly went into romance without quite realizing what I was doing.
I loved Loretta Chase, Julia Quinn… I found historical writers who I loved but I didn't realize what romance was and that they were all in the same world.
I think I read a few of B's historical romances when I was pretty young. I was never the student of history that she was and I didn't like the historical stuffiness of it, I still don't. The first person I picked up that got me into romance was Nora Roberts. I think a lot of our reading habits were shaped by bookstores because we used to go to Barnes & Noble as a family every Sunday and things were very much influenced by how bookstores are laid out. So, for instance, for B it was very easy to make the leap from historical fiction to historical romance because they're right next to each other and I would wander from that section to more contemporary romance. Our parents taught us to be very careful with money with one exception, which is that we never had a budget on our books. They always bought us whatever books we wanted and they put no restrictions on what we could read.
Did you set out to change people's perceptions of the genre?
I think support is the right word because this community - we call it Romancelandia sometimes, that's the colloquial term - was already here and no other bookstore was tapping into it. We wanted to create a space for that community. Those writers have been going on tour and trying to sell their books for years and have frequently not received the warmest welcome from other bookstores. As readers, when we used to go into bookstores and ask for romance…
That's the main thing that motivated us to open the store. You walk into a bookstore and you ask where the romance section is and they don't have one. Pretty much every independent bookstore in LA doesn't have a romance section. Barnes & Noble are usually pretty good about it because they want to make money.
We are very tongue-in-cheek. We're having fun with it.
We come very much from a place of celebration. The books we are selling are fun and happy and the whole point of the place is to be fun and happy.
The requirement of the romance novel is that it has a happily ever after.
How do you select the books you're selling?
That's 90% of our job and the word we use is curation.
There's so much coming out of romance and we deal both with self-published, independently-published and traditionally-published books. We are trying to stay on top of everything that's coming out and it's just impossible to do that.
We try to respond to our customers and listen to what they are telling us about the kinds of books they're enjoying. I have all these different lists, I like to keep up so I'll read 2-3 new releases a week and then I'm always trying to beef up the sub-genres that I'm not as well versed in. Say someone really likes paranormal vampires, I recommend my favourite three books to them, they go and read them all and come back in needing more. I'm not very well versed in the lesbian genre so I'm going to read two of those this week. And cowboys are not my thing but I need to beef up my cowboy recommendations.
The inner working of publishing are both fascinating and so convoluted! We do a lot of things top to bottom, it's just us so, we're buying the books and we're seeing how the books get made but it's always important to keep in mind that it doesn't matter to the reader, they just want to read the book.
It doesn't matter to the reader but it matters to us. I mean, we are a tiny bookstore so publishers don't care about us but we care about what publishers do. We pay attention to, shall we say, publisher ethics. It says in our mission statement that the people writing the books should be fairly profiting from them as well as us. If a self-published book is done beautifully and we hand it to somebody they don't know it's self-published and they don't care. I think probably 20% of the books we carry are self-published.
Even more so, the amount of self-published romance that are hits in the community and in the New York Times best-seller list is up there.
The NYT just announced that they're eliminating their mass-market paperback best-seller list and we are not happy. We wrote them an angry email. They are specifically targeting books written by women. The number of women on the NYT best-seller list is going to plummet. On the mass-market list it's 98% women. It's them and James Patterson and that's it!
It's particularly disappointing to us to see in this moment, when we need to be lifting up women's voices and marginalised voices, voices that aren't traditionally included in the NYT best-seller lists, that you're going to get rid off all the lists where they could possibly exist.
Young Adult is the most diverse sector of the publishing industry.
NYT best-seller list means nothing anymore. These are the best-sellers, these are the books that are selling across the country in Walmarts, Targets - it's what people are reading.
You recently introduced your women's fiction section, why?
Even if we read stuff that's not romance we find a way to sell it here. L just read Emma Donohue's The Wonder and because of some other stuff that we'd been talking about we expanded our women's fiction section.
It's mostly because we wanted to carry more books that would make Herr Trump mad! We wanted as many books that had feminism in the title as possible. And we felt that we needed to be selling more important books by women not strictly bound by romance. It's not a huge section but we wanted to have Zadie Smith and Emma Donohue, Emma Straub and Helen Oyeyemi and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I actually had a dream last night that for our next window display we should order sixty copies of We Should All Be Feminists and just paper the walls! 98% of the books we sell are by women writers. The main place you find male writers is in male-male gay romance where we have some very beloved fantastic male writers.
Elsewhere it's mostly women…
And Tolstoy!
What we're trying to do is lift up classic women who have not been focused on the same way Anna Karenina by Tolstoy has been.
There's such a wonderful male readership of romance, in gay romance and heterosexual, and we don't like to leave them out but this is a store for women and it's designed for women, everything is done with women in mind. People are really lovely and compliment us on our décor because it doesn't really look like a bookstore, it's a feminine space and we don't have a problem with that.
The most upsetting to me is when there's a man and a woman walking around and you can hear the man denigrating what's here to his partner who may be interested and he's just cutting her down. That happens all the time. We're good but since the election…
…I don't care so much anymore about respecting the people who are just rude to us for the sake of being rude. We have a display from a new line called Human is Human from one of our artists we've had since we opened. It's all anti-Trump-themed pins and magnets and brooches and we were like, we're giving you a whole table. I think we were much more hesitant in our first couple of months about appearing political and now it's just, we can't be a feminist sex-positive business and keep our mouths shut.
The link between all these things is important to know. If art for women is being so ignored and mocked and denigrated that's going to seep into other things and if you can't possibly take seriously a book written by a woman with sex in it, think about that for a minute. Why is it so difficult for you to take it seriously? But we hear it all the time. It's so subversive.
And it's so political. I had this idea – all of our books obviously come in boxes and we have tons and tons of cardboard so I'm going to start cutting apart the cardboard and we're going to have a box that's free protest signs! All the stores are out of poster board so you can take our cardboard to make your protest sign!
Where do you like to read?
We're both bed readers. I have outfitted my bed… I have really bad eyesight so I wear contacts and then I wear reading glasses on top. B made fun of me because I got reading glasses that had lights on them but I didn't like them so then I got a special light that's on my wall and I can pull it out so it shines directly on my book but I think it's cool! I then read a fair amount at the store, at the desk usually in the late evening when my brain is done with work. I'd say I read probably at least two hours a day, maybe fifteen a week.
I like to read outside a lot and since I moved to LA we have a hammock and chairs on our front porch. I wake up at five in the morning and I go sit on our front porch with my coffee or my tea and my dog and we read and catch up on the news and it's really nice and quiet. I read in fits and spurts so I'll go days without reading and I'll read three books in a row.
If you could give us your recommendations both for romance novices and experts…
I like to start with two different people: Julia Quinn if you're looking for a traditional Regency romance - a big family with lots of siblings all getting married and each with their own obstacles falling in love. Her most popular series is called The Bridgertons, they're eight books, each book features a different sibling and they are named alphabetically so Anthony is the oldest and Hyacinth is the youngest and they're so charming and lovely. If you love Julia Quinn then Tess Dare is my current most favourite. She tends to write very nerdy heroines so in A Week to be Wicked she has a palaeontologist heroine who finds a fossil and wants to present it at an academic conference so decides she's going to go there herself. It's kind of a road trip romance because the hero follows her, it's so cute, they're in a carriage, which is the road trip vehicle of choice so it's delightful. Beverly Jenkins is my other favourite historical novelist, she writes American historical so it's very different.
They are so freaking charming!
L just read her new one, Forbidden, she's going to be here. She has one series that's about pirates and the final book features a heroine who is a pirate, she steals the hero's ships and oh my god, it's so good! It's a very different historical novel, Regencies tend to be very light and fluffy with ballrooms and dukes, they're very familiar if you've read Jane Austen. The American Historicals tend to focus a little bit more on the exciting part of history…
Wars! They're all about wars.
I just read an amazing series that's all about astronauts, which if you loved Hidden Figures…
This would be good for non-novices that are looking for something new. It's called Star Dust by Emma Barry.
It's about astronauts and the women who loved them in the sixties in Houston…
It's about the space race!
They're so charming. The first one I read is about a new divorcée who's on her own for the first time, she has two kids, it's about being a single mom and falling in love, it is delightful.
I have more! If you really love Jane Austen and you're looking for who came after her, it's Georgette Hyere. These books were written in the Twenties and they're the source material for almost all the historical romance written now. She wrote them for her brother who was sick with consumption, it was a way to amuse him and then she started publishing them and she was a superstar in her own time. In England she continues to be and she hasn't really made the jump over here, which is really bizarre and shocking to me.
My novice contemporary recommendations: Nora Roberts is never going to be a bad place to start. The first Bridal Quartet novel is called Vision in White and it's always a great starting point, very traditional. If you want to experience what has come to be known as erotic romance - all the plot of romance but way dirtier - I would recommend Christina Lauren and Alisha Rai, her books are fantastic. She was annoyed with all the male billionaire series and wrote a book where the female is a billionaire called A Gentleman in the Streets. If you're looking for something more issues-based, Courtney Milan is currently writing a contemporary series, the first one is called Trade Me and is one of the best-written contemporary romances I've ever read.
For people more familiar with the genre, I don't know how you would have missed this last year but, if you did, The Hating Game by Sally Thorne was one of my favourites of last year. Another of our favourite books that we'd like to get more play than it does, is called How Not To Fall by Emily Foster who is notable because Emily is a sex educator in her real life.
We have a friend who has a "Sanity Shelf" dedicated to books she returns to again and again, to re read for pleasure, knowledge, and solace.
What books would be on your Sanity Shelf?
Wolf Hall, which is one of my favourite historical novels.
Harvest, my favourite compilation of Emily Dickinson's poems –our mother gave me the copy she had in college with all her annotations.
I'm an Emma girl over Pride and Prejudice, I tend to love difficult heroines so along those lines…
It Happened One Autumn is probably my most re-read romance novel. Lisa Kleypas has a series called The Wallflowers that has two sisters and two friends that band together because none of them can get married so they're going to find each person a husband and each get a book. It Happened One Autumn a prickly heroine - I relate a lot to that heroine!
Beautiful Stranger by Christina Lauren, which has one of my favourite heroes in it because he's British and also because, and this is really hard to do, he's really nice but still really hot!
The Game Plan by Christine Callaghan is very similar but the hero in that one is a football player but he's a virgin! It's really good. I re-read that one all the time.
My last one will be Him by Elle Kennedy and Sarina Bowen, which is a male-male hockey romance and it's so good I stayed up reading it last night.
If you could live the life of one of those heroines who would it be?
I'm not one who romanticizes history. I love history, fuck no would want to live there! First, I'm an ill person chronically so and I would have consumption without a doubt.
I would want to live in one of the beautiful perfect small towns…
Mine would be Three Sisters Island.
That's such a good call, that's where I want to live!
My favourite Nora Roberts are the so-called para-Noras. We would be witches and we could own the bookstore, obviously, and all of the girls marry the police chief…
Or the scientist who comes to study paranormal activity or in the last one, where she marries her long-lost love. That's totally where I want to live, we want to live on Three Sisters Island.
And Fritz as well.

Butler softball had a school-record nine first-team selections placed on the Jayhawk Conference Division I All-Conference team, which was released Friday.
Winners of both the Jayhawk Conference and Region VI titles, Butler had the most selections of any school with nine players, with runner-up Barton receiving eight selections. The previous high for first-team selections for Butler was seven in 2013.
Butler had four infield selections with catcher Morgan Heckart, first baseman Morgan Bohanan, shortstop Becca Schulte and third baseman Danae Bina. Outfielders Megan Wurts and Alexis Clinton were also selected, along with Brynn Minor at utility. Pitchers Jennifer Hittinger and Regan Mergele also received first-team honors.
Along with the nine selections, Butler head coach Doug Chance was named co-Coach of the Year with Barton's Mark Benjamin.
Heckart, a sophomore from Ottumwa, Iowa, hit .246 with four home runs, 25 runs batted in and scored 24 runs. Heckart played in 49 of the Grizzlies' 50 games, starting at catcher in 48 of those contests.
Bohanan, a freshman from Goddard, led the Grizzlies in batting average (.531), doubles (26) and on-base percentage (.597).

Lenny Bruce used to ask why it was obscene to show sex in American movies but not violence. Fifty years later, our screens remain washed in red, with severed if not necessarily naked body parts. More than half of the mostly American titles that received R ratings last year contained some kind of violence (as in strong, bloody and "grisly bloody violence and torture") while only a third had sexual content. No NC-17 ratings were handed out, which bar youngsters, the viewers the studios most lust after.
One film did receive an NC-17 last year, if only fleetingly: "Blue Valentine," a bruising independent drama about a marriage that goes south starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. The scarlet letters were for what was vaguely described as "explicit sexual content," words interpreted to mean that the ratings board had freaked out at the realism or perhaps intimacy of the sex, including an instance of oral sex and another scene in which the unhappy couple make uncomfortable, crushingly sad love. The movie's combative distributor, Harvey Weinstein, successfully appealed the NC-17, and the rating was changed, without cuts, to an R (for its "strong graphic sexual content, language and a beating.")
When I saw the original version of "Blue Valentine" at the Sundance Film Festival last year (the film was subsequently trimmed before it was rated), I wasn't shocked by the sex — after all, it's about two lovely young people who can't keep their hands off each other — but I was startled. American characters — heterosexuals! — were having sex in a movie. Even at this pre-eminent independent festival, American filmmakers shy away from sex, especially the hot, sweaty kind. The old production code might have crumbled in the 1960s and couples can now share a bed, but the demure fade to black and the prudish pan — coitus interruptus via a crackling fire and underwear strewn across the floor — endures.
The recent deaths of the actresses Lena Nyman and Maria Schneider were poignant, useful reminders that there was a time when Americans used to troop in droves to go watch serious or serious-enough movies, domestic and imported, in which sex mattered as much if not more than violence. Ms. Nyman, a theater student turned screen siren, starred in the notorious 1969 Swedish film "I Am Curious (Yellow)" and its less popular sequel released three years later, "I Am Curious (Blue)." Ms. Schneider remains best known for holding her own, sometimes naked, against a more coy Marlon Brando in "Last Tango in Paris," the Bernardo Bertolucci landmark (and French-Italian coproduction) that forced audiences to regard butter in a new light much as Hitchcock's "Psycho" had forced them to reconsider the shower.
After being banned and then cleared, "I Am Curious (Yellow)" opened to long lines and blockbuster business, reaping $5 million in six months. (Adjusted for inflation, that figure translates roughly into $35 million in today's dollars.) The critics, professional and otherwise, staked out their turf: Writing for the defense in The New York Times, Vincent Canby called it a "wise, serious, sometimes deadpannedly funny movie about the politics of life." Opposed, Rex Reed fumed that "this genuinely vile and disgusting Swedish meatball is pseudo-pornography at its ugliest and least titillating." Norman Mailer said it was "one of the most important pictures I have ever seen in my life." Judith Crist just found it "pretentious."Continue reading the main story
"I Am Curious (Yellow)," about a young woman (Ms. Nyman) investigating Swedish social and political mores, sometimes by pushing boundaries and making love al fresco, wasn't the first sexually explicit movie to shake up American screens. In the 1950s and into the 1960s foreign-language stars like Brigitte Bardot, Hollywood directors like Otto Preminger and avant-garde filmmakers like Jack Smith did their part to ready the audience for the imminent sex-screen revolution. By the time "Last Tango in Paris" first played in New York in 1972, naked breasts and butts if not always penises had jiggled across screens and "porno chic" had turned Linda Lovelace into a household name. Forbidden topics, deeds and blue words had entered the mainstream: "Monkey nipples," Richard Burton had announced in 1966 in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
Seen now, "Last Tango in Paris" — which centers on strangers who become something else after having sex every which way in an empty apartment — scarcely seems the landmark it was heralded as, including by a breathless Pauline Kael: "This must be the most powerfully erotic movie ever made." What's striking about the film, beyond that it was an American (X-rated and then R) hit, beyond Brando's beauty and Ms. Schneider's too-tender youth, is its blissfully unselfconscious sexism, its celebration of maudlin masculinity and warmed-over crazy chick clichés. If Ms. Schneider holds her own against Brando it's largely because she's at times full-frontal naked. This cinematic revolution was, like so much of art, built on the bared backs — among other fetishized body parts — of women.
The movies still exploit female bodies, though today American actresses working in the commercial mainstream rarely strip down past their undies. If they tend not to bare it all it isn't because of feminist progress. Neo-Puritanism and the mainstreaming of pornography have played a role, as have corporate blockbusters aimed at teenage boys, with their sexless superheroes and disposable pretty women smiling on the sidelines. Mind you, there isn't much for women to smile about when it comes to American film, where for the past few decades, the biggest hits have starred men in stories about and for men. Though every so often there is something for us too; after all, women helped make a success of "Brokeback Mountain" a few years ago. At last, a film with sex and romance, pretty boys and no Jennifer Aniston.Continue reading the main story

The links section is primarily for the promotion of content partners that make this website so enjoyable, as they deserve the spotlight on their own Internet presence so that people can discover their work in greater detail. This link is the one exception to that rule, because of our personal involvement with them, and the work that they do.
AES is a long-running charity dedicated to helping rural communities in Uganda and its surrounding countries. They are funded primarily from UK donors that support their work in building classrooms, latrine blocks and gravity water systems. In addition to these major constructions, smaller projects dealing with the provision of classroom desks and chairs, as well as building full-width chalkboards to enable a proper learning environment for students. They run their operations on a shoestring budget, with their managing director Marion Quinton overseeing operations in the field, fundraising, and handling all the administration work from her home office in Kabale. The team has very low turnover as they are paid above market, given full weekends off, and supported as if they are family - a far cry from some organisations operating in Africa, and a world away from local employers.
During my six weeks working with them I was assigned to walk the numerous gravity water systems that they had constructed in order to survey the key points with a GPS. Gravity water systems run from a natural spring high in the mountains and fed through miles of narrow pipe, dug a few feet into the earth and buried to be protected for decades to come. Gravity draws the water down through the pipes and feeds a network of tap stands constructed by the team that delivers this most precious resource much closer to villages who would otherwise have to trek up and down the mountain side to fill their containers. As if it doesn't already sound bad, the sad reality is that 99% of the time, it is the children that are tasked with fetching the water. If the family requires it, often children will have to significantly damage their education as they are forced to spend their days going back and forth to these springs if their family is not able to survive without it. Even in the more fortunate cases where the children can afford to go to school, their time before and after class is often spent carrying water - imagine how you would perform turning up to class exhausted. The gravity water systems branch out as far as the pressure will sustain it, often reaching many villages with one source and having a huge impact on these children, drastically reducing the time and energy spent on their water duties. This lets them attend school or focus on homework, or just play with friends for a while - like any of us would expect our children to be able to.
Walking these systems gave me the opportunity to not only understand the scale of the work that they have completed, but to also meet with the communities that have benefitted from their presence in Uganda. I trekked the pipelines with Dixon, the AES foreman, and was pleased to see that people in the villages recognised him as part of the AES team and was quick to thank him for the work they had done - they are clearly making a lasting difference.
I was also there for the completion of the latrine block you see behind the photo at the top of the page, the quality of construction was excellent, and the facility that this would provide the local primary school was of great importance. A wash bay for the girls, eight latrine bays, a urinal for the boys, and a rain water collection system feeding a tank to wash their hands. It's a given for most of us reading this, but before this was in place, the 600 children that attended this primary school had to deal with a shockingly unsanitary environment and disease could spread through the students like wildfire. It is no exaggeration to say that AES has saved many children's education, and with sanitary projects as pictured, makes sure that they are safe and healthy in their time at school.
Please consider donating anything at all, I have witnessed first-hand the absolutely frugal nature of the charity, and just how far they can stretch a dollar to tangibly improve peoples lives. In a token of appreciation we offer donators their own choice of custom flair next to their alias in our community, as a small thanks for being so kind and supporting these friends of The Whole Car.
Thank you so much for your generosity.

There Are No Excuses.Today, written a post that can inspire you and your boyfriend to get a better relationship:
There are no excuses for not giving a compliment to your girlfriend every day.
My boyfriend and I have always really busy, both with school / education, work and hobbies, separately. It can be really sad not to see each other a whole day or several days in a row, but it does not mean that you cannot please each other anyway.
For a time, so we each other for several days. One went on night work, while the other was free, and vice versa. There was always something one should.
The little things make a big difference for Happy Valentine Day Love 2017
I was about to go sour in everyday life and the thought of living with someone who is not so, was tiresome.
One morning I wake up and there is a note on my boyfriend's pillow, where it says:
"You look so lovely peaceful out when you sleep. Have a nice day"
It made me so happy that I could do the rest of the day. I left a note on the mirror in the bathroom for my boyfriend when he would come home at night:
"Thanks for your message, you are the sweetest boyfriend in the world."Happy Valentine Day
As time went on, we put a lot of cash around, as we both looked forward to coming home and it's a great way to remind one another. If you are into small notes on the fridge, mirror, on the pillow or on the dining table – please send a sweet sms.

More Fun Fun With Paintshop
bumblebee on salvia. The bumblebees have been working my Victoria Blue salvia hard this spring. While I was working in that bed Monday I noticed this guy was doing his thing about 12″ from my head. I decided to grab my camera.
Then I started playing with the picture in Paintshop Pro and came up with this:
It doesn't look as nice as Loren's transformations, but then I've just figured out how to do this stuff.
Their ad says "Do deli so fresh, fast, and convenient it'll make your head spin". I decided to try one tonight. I had to leave work and go directly to a meeting about 40 miles away, no time to go home. So I decided that was a good excuse to try one.
Here's the short version: Wendy's should stick to making hamburgers.
Here's the long version: I ordered a Frescata Club. The picture made it look like a really nice deli-style sandwich with turkey and Black Forest ham slices, complemented by slices of bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Well, the sanwdich did visually resemble the picture. But what I got was cold ham and turkey slices topped by tasteless bacon, lettuce, and a lifeless tomato slice, all culinarily intimidated by a layer of mayonnaise that was sufficient to ruin the taste of twice as much meat as was actually on the sandwich. And the bun? It was tough, not particularly tasty, not particularly appealing. And for this I had to wait over 20 minutes while "the bread baked". If they have to bake the bread when you order the sandwich, they need to tell you. So, for $5.44 I got a sandwich that I didn't like, served after a long enough wait to make me 15 minutes late for my meeting. Not a mistake I'll make again. Harry says pass on the Frescata.

Reduce Poor Driving Habits
Reduce Poor Driving Habits
Poor driving habits translate into risk of an accident and well as a risk to your company's reputation as your fleet vehicles drive past your customers with your company logo on them. Accident reduction is a long term goal but GPS technology is proven to reduce incidents and severity substantially.
- Measuring harsh braking events is very important because it indicates a high likelihood of a collision. The driver is more likely to hit the vehicle in front of them and to get hit in the rear end.
- Behaviors such as speeding and jack rabbit starts damage your brand reputation and put drivers and other vehicles on the road at risk.
- Unnecessary idling increases fuel consumption, waste money and time, and increases your company's carbon footprint.
