A wheel does it (contact with a surface), and is an organ of locomotion.'noka' (which seem to require contact with a surface)
Probably, some tp-words have dead meanings, like "support" or "organ of locomotion" for noka.I didn't forget "noka" also means "support". Then a more probable "verbification" for it would be "to support", but I seldom see any motion related to it. Only that it is the locomotion organ,
Here are few more organs of locomotions:but the locomotion itself should be expressed with "tawa".
noka --> tawa
luka --> pana
oko --> kama
uta --> moku

Vintage Road Test Results That May Surprise You
There were several reasons I wanted to do this story this month. The first was the tie-in to the other Mopars featured in the issue, coupled with my resolve to make better use of the Petersen photo archive in MCR. But Tom Shaw's coverage of the Pure Stock Drags last month also got me to thinking about the notions of stock and fast. As Tom said in his story, the fastest of the race cars participating in that annual event are now capable of running 11.50-second e.t.'s, the time at which the NHRA mandates rollbars. Getting a stock muscle car–on bias-ply tires, no less–down the 1320 in that length of time is a remarkable achievement.
It's an achievement all the more remarkable when you compare those e.t.'s to what the cars were capable of when they were new. As much as we like to think of our muscle cars as fast, they were never that fast. The top Mopars at the 2013 Pure Stock Drags, Dave Dudek's Hemi Super Bee and Rick Mahoney's Hemi Road Runner, both ran within a few ticks of each other (Dudek ran an 11.64, Mahoney an 11.69), yet both were a full second faster down the quarter-mile than the fastest of the Mopars that Hot Rod magazine tested in the '60s and early '70s.
Of course today's PSD competitors are privy to weight-reduction and tuning tricks that weren't done or even invented yet back in the day. This is by no means an apples-to-apples comparison. But if you've ever found yourself saying, "The older I get, the faster I was," this story may help jog your memories a bit.
Fifth Fastest:
'71 Cuda 340, 14.18 sec. @ 100.33 mph
"Beware the Quiet Fish," Jan. '71
"Plymouth's Barracuda is offered in many configurations," wrote Hot Rod's Steve Kelly, "but there's one that is best of all: the 'Cuda 340. What this car does is deliver a no-compromise performance exhibition at all stages, be it handling, drag racing, street riding, or cross-country junketing." On the drag-racing front, the 'Cuda "does beat a stock Z28 or Boss 302 (at least the ones we've tested) through a quarter-mile," he said, and because of the "fair amount of lead the 340 would gain on a straightaway, it should be able to keep the aforementioned pair at bay long enough to still finish first over a fair-sized stretch of road-racing course."
(Kelly, writing this in late 1970, most likely didn't know that the factories would all back out of Trans-Am in 1971. Very few privateers ran Mopar products in that season. So the dramatic battle between the 'Cuda, Z28 and Boss 302 he envisioned never materialized.)
The small-block-powered 'Cuda, Kelly said, "is a far better-driving machine than either the 440 or 426 V-8-equipped 'Cudas, and at least equals the performance you might expect from an assembly-line-stock Hemi 'Cuda. Both the larger engines cost several hundred dollars more, weight is greater, and the cost of operating is a little harder to live with than with the 340."
Kelly's tester was a Shaker-hood-equipped 'Cuda with a four-speed manual trans, 3.55 gears, limited slip, disc/drum brakes, and E60-15 Goodyear Wide Tread Polyglas tires. As tested, the car cost $3,971. It had just 1,500 miles on it when he and John Dianna took it to Lions Drag Strip "for an afternoon of thrashing." Out of the box Dianna ran 14.53 at 98.57 mph. "The air cleaner element was removed and the engine cooled; and within four more runs the 'Cuda had dropped to 14.18 seconds. From this point on, it got stuck in a top-end groove. No matter what the e.t., it ran either 100.22 or 100.33 mph. The Pure Stock record at Lions for the 'Cuda 340 class is 14.09 and a speed of 99 mph. At least we beat one end of the record. Had we gone deeper, say to the point of timing or tire pressure experimentation, we would've bettered both marks."
Fourth Fastest:
'69 Charger 500, 13.48 sec. @ 109 mph
"Showroom Racer," Feb. '69
"You've got to hand it to the Chrysler guys," wrote Steve Kelly (again). "If they race it, they also sell it. That really doesn't make them heroes, but it does help promote the image of stock car racing. When you can buy your race car, or at least the basics of one, through a dealership, you're a lot closer to racing real stock cars."
The Charger 500 was a toe-in-the-water in terms of making Chrysler's B-Body more aerodynamic for NASCAR. Lessons learned–and then some–would be applied to the coming Charger Daytona and Superbird. As Kelly described the 500's mods, "The grille, normally inset, is moved forward, flush with the leading edge of the frontal sheetmetal. This eliminates the air trap of regular Chargers. In back, the rear window is angled sharply and set in new metal stretched between the sailfins."
"You've got to hand it to the Chrysler guys. If they race it, they also sell it."
Kelly's test car was a Hemi-powered 500. Well, actually, he tested two. The first one, with a four-speed transmission, "was 'borrowed' (by person or persons as yet not convicted) and most of the parts liberated. Due to this unexpected car loan (that's not what the police termed it), we spent most of our time with the automatic car."
Given the choice, "that's how I'd have it, anyway," Kelly said. "Four-speeds are nice, and generally a little quicker; but the TorqueFlite's the way to go on the street, and it's certainly no slouch on the track (unless the track has bends in it, and then there's no way an automatic will work there)."
He was right about the four-speed being "a little quicker," as his best quarter-mile in that car was 13.48 seconds at 109 mph. With the automatic, he ran 13.80 seconds at 105.01.
"Getting [a Hemi] into the 13s for a quarter-mile, in stock clothing, is about all one can ask for," he pointed out. "Well, we got it that far, but we had to revert to open headers in order to do so. An open-header 426 ought to catch high 12s, but this was the 3.23-geared automatic, with street plugs (N-10Y Champions), no carb rejetting, ignition at 12 degrees Before Top Dead Center on the crank, and total advance not cutting in until past 2,000. With an automatic having a sub-2,000-rpm stall speed, this is like running with one flat tire. The mere fact that it bested 100 mph in this form calls for a Purple Heart."
Things got more serious with the four-speed. The 3.54 gearset was swapped for 4.10s, and the distributor was recalibrated "to 49 degrees total, all of which were at work by 2,500 rpm." While driving at the track Kelly manually shifted both cars, though the delay in the TorqueFlite's response caused upshifts at 5,700-5,800 rpm, despite his moving the lever at 5,500. "We buzzed the stick car to six grand for each shift. The 4.10 gear brought us through the traps in high gear at 5,200 rpm, using a 29-inch-diameter tire. A lower gear would certainly help, but the 4.10 is just about the steepest you can use and still get decent street operation."
Third Fastest:
'69 Super Bee, 13.37 sec. @ 106 mph
"Six Pack for a Quarter Picnic," Aug. '69
"Stares from passers-by are guaranteed," wrote Steve Kelly (who apparently had the most fun job of all the guys at Hot Rod). "It isn't every day you see a bubble-hooded, tail-striped, hubcapless, high-sitting new coupe just arrived from the factory already in this condition."
Yes, the Super Bee he was testing, with its new Six-Pack option, was an A12 car. Remarkably, the magazine had room for just a single-page story on the Bee, with only two photos–one of him removing the air cleaner lid (with the hood already off), and a factory photo of the triple Holleys. So the pictures you see here are all outtakes from his test/photo session with Eric Rickman.
Full disclosure: The 13.37 e.t. was done after Kelly swapped the stock G70-15 rear tires with "Goodyear 8.50×14-inch series D-5 seven-inch-wide slicks, 27.4 inches tall," he wrote. On the stock tires, the Bee ran 13.56 at 105.63 mph–still good enough to make this list. "The street-tire Six-Pack runs are within .08-second of the four-speed Hemi Charger tested in our February issue [the Charger 500 at left], and the Goodyear-slick-equipped runs with the 440 were better by .11-second. And the Hemi was a lighter car, which isn't usually the case."
As with the Charger 500, Kelly preferred the TorqueFlite over the four-speed manual for driving the Super Bee on the street. "We shifted the automatic at 5,200 rpm, thus winding up with 5,500-rpm shift points, due to the lag between movement and trans action. Leaving it in Drive allows shifts at 5,000, which is too low for proper engine response in the next highest gear. Standard rear axle is a 4.10:1 Dana unit, with limited-slip movement."
"Stares from passers-by are guaranteed"
About the A12's hood, he wrote, "The fiberglass hood is not hinged, and you have to lift the whole thing off for engine access. Four pins hold it in place, and the fresh-air scoop makes a handy grab point, though it's doubtful Dodge would make that recommendation. There's no block-off for incoming air via the scoop in case of snow, hail, or flood. You're on your own then."
Kelly finished his test calling the Super Bee "one of the most surprising cars we've ever tested, and one of the most gratifying. We tested it with the same set of plugs used in street traffic for nearly 1,000 miles beforehand. Mileage figures would probably make an oil company happy, since they're between 8.08 mpg and 11.3 mpg on our result sheet. A Super Bee has a base price just under $3,150. The Six-Pack option is $462.80. You can't build it for that price."
Runner Up:
'69 'Cuda 340, 13.33 sec. @ 106.5 mph
"Barracuda on the Line," Dec. '68
Here's another instance where the car Hot Rod's Kelly tested wasn't quite "stock."
"The bright red fastback had been used in Plymouth advertising work-outs just before we got it, and work-out is an appropriate term," he wrote. "Ronnie Sox drove the four-speed machine for the ad people and sampled it in various modes, from absolute Pure Stock to semi-drag-prepared. In its final stage–and the way it stayed for our use–the 'Cuda was fitted with a Holley four-barrel, Edelbrock aluminum high-rise intake, and Hooker individual four-tube 'fenderwell' headers. The ignition was curved in a bit better to achieve maximum lead rather quickly, and the vacuum advance was blocked off in favor of centrifugal action."
In that trim, running 3.91 gears and on street tires–mounted on a set of Kelsey Hayes "recall" wheels–Sox recorded a best of 13.33 seconds at 106.5 mph. "We were impressed," wrote Kelly. "Capped up, the car ran repeated 13.70s with Sox at the wheel, with speeds in the 104 region. This is excellent for a street-legal machine (which it was with muffled exhaust)." Those e.t.'s would also keep the '69 'Cuda on this list, though it would bump its '71 brother off.
"We had the opportunity of sharing strip-driving time with Sox during his session at Irwindale Raceway," Kelly said. "Ronnie's prowess on the four-speed is hard to equal, and his biggest problem was getting the car off the line smoothly. After that it was easy. We had the starting line dilemma too, plus trying to run as quick and shift as fast as Sox–which we didn't. The Polyglas tires on the car work best when pumped up to 35 psi on both sides. Fronts were increased 10 pounds more than that to decrease rolling resistance. Best take-off procedure is to bring the rpm up to 2,500 and just roll the car off the mark. Nailing it too soon produces nothing but slow e.t.'s and tire smoke. We weren't all the way into the throttle until we were even with the Chrondek 'tree,' so that illustrates the tenderfoot method. With rpm slightly over 2,500, the ignition was fully advanced, and right-foot carpet contact produced instant engine response; no stumble or hesitation. The front end does a nice job of 'lifting' and transferring weight rearward all through initial acceleration."
Both Kelly and Sox liked the 'Cuda. "We agree with Ronnie Sox's opinion that the 'Cuda 340 held more interest and pleasure value than many other super-cars," he wrote. "This little runner is a super-car, without any doubt attached. It is also a 'pony-car,' a compact, a work-horse, and a sizeable threat on the dragstrip. The price isn't all bad, either." On the spec sheet, the 'Cuda's as-tested price was $3,652, though we're not sure that included the engine mods and headers. Sox wasn't included at that price, either.
"Four-speeds are nice, but the TorqueFlite's the way to go on the street"
The Fastest:
'63 Belvedere hardtop, 12.69 sec. @ 111.97 mph
"Plymouth 426 Super Stock," Jan. '63
In 1963 Ray Brock was Hot Rod's technical editor, and he devoted seven pages to a lengthy road test of the Belvedere and the new-for-'63 426 Super Stock engine (aka the Wedge). "Keeping within the displacement limit of 7 liters (427 inches) imposed by several racing organizations for '63, the new Super Stock Plymouth engine has 426 cubic inches," he wrote to introduce the new motor. "Two compression ratios are again used for '63, 11:1 and 13.5:1, with horsepower ratings of 415 at 5,400 rpm for the lower compression, 425 at 5,400 for the higher."
His test car, which arrived with just a dozen miles on the odometer, had the lower compression motor. "Any way you look at it, the high compression engine is strictly a quarter-mile sprinter and not designed for street driving," he explained. "Plymouth recommends that full throttle bursts be limited to 15 seconds and then only if the gasoline used is 102 octane or better. The 11:1 engine can be driven on the street without any serious consequences, but it is not recommended that they receive this kind of operation as a steady diet. Here, too, the engine is a thoroughbred designed for the track, not a workhorse for pulling a plow."
Brock put his money where his mouth was, entering the test car at a race being held at the Pomona dragstrip. "Our plan for the Plymouth was to see just what it would do at the local dragstrip exactly as delivered from the dealer." Well, turns out he built some wiggle room into that "exactly as delivered" concept.
"We did make a couple of concessions to this plan," he admitted, rationalizing that "the average driver would at least change gears and tires before going racing." So the 3.91s were replaced with 4.56 gears and a Sure-Grip diff. A set of 9.00×14 Casler "cheater" slicks was mounted; and to prevent axlewrap, "we removed the waxed inserts from the spring tips, installed a tall pinion snubber, and turned the front torsion bars up four turns each to help transfer weight to the rear."
Underhood changes were relatively minor: 34 degrees of total advance in the distributor above 2,000 rpm, and "the stock lakes outlets were uncapped."
Their first run at Pomona turned out to be the best: 12.69 at 111.97 mph. Additional passes were in the same ballpark: 12.74 to 12.81, with speeds consistently between 110 and 112 mph. "As the day progressed and eliminations came up, our test car was one of the 30 fastest stockers chosen for Stock Eliminator runoffs," said Brock.
When the competition became serious, Brock handed the car over to Bob McDaniels, Chrysler-Plymouth's service manager for the Los Angeles area. McDaniels "whittled away at the competition and eliminated two 409 Chevys and a pair of Dodges before he tasted defeat." He was beat by a '62 Dodge with the high-compression 413, a car that went on to win Stock Eliminator for the day.
Still, "we proved to our own satisfaction that the Super Stock 426 Plymouth has to be just about the hottest stock car available," Brock wrote. "With some more break-in mileage, a little extra attention in the engine by a sharp mechanic, a lightweight exhaust system, and a few other dragstrip techniques, the car should be capable of even more impressive performance.
"If you like drag racing and are a poor loser," he continued, "there's only one answer for you: Get a winner. We can recommend an excellent place to start. Plymouth."

Local Firm Selected to Create Statewide Plans for Economic Development and Housing as Part of Sustainable Communities Initiative
Governor Chafee Announces Next Action Step in Development of an Integrated Plan to Mobilize State and Community Assets for a Better Rhode Island
Providence, R.I. – April 24, 2013 – (RealEstateRama) — Governor Lincoln D. Chafee today announced the next action step in a multi-agency effort over the next two years to develop an integrated approach for the state to economic development, housing, transportation, and land use, as part of the Sustainable Communities Initiative. Through an open Request for Proposals (RFP) issued November 21, 2012 by the Rhode Island Division of Planning's Statewide Planning Program, Rhode Island has selected a consulting team led by the Horsley Witten Group to create statewide plans that address economic development housing and growth centers while linking them to strategies for transportation, land use, and the environment with the goal of creating a better place for all Rhode Islanders.
"As we work collaboratively to identify the most promising path to a prosperous future, it is important to have a guiding plan that capitalizes on our assets and is mindful of how all Rhode Islanders will be affected," Governor Chafee said. "I am grateful that we now have the comprehensive data analysis to inform our decisions. We will continue to move forward to make Rhode Island a better place to work and live."
The federally funded Sustainable Communities initiative is one component of Governor Chafee's broader efforts to bring a comprehensive and forward-looking approach to the state's efforts to make Rhode Island a better place to work and live. This includes investment in quality public education, sound infrastructure, and workforce development and training. It includes supporting local communities and keeping property taxes down. And it includes focusing on existing small businesses and helping them succeed and grow. Prior to Governor Chafee taking office, the state had no coordinated plan for economic development, housing, transportation, and land use. The Sustainable Communities initiative will build upon the work already done by the Chafee Administration, with the state and its partners creating an integrated approach to these critical issues. Rhode Island released the initial results of the project in February when it issued the Economy Rhode Island and An Equity Profile of Rhode Island reports, which analyze Rhode Island's demographics, business climate, and economic competitiveness. The Department of Administration's Division of Planning expects to complete the planning process, which will include extensive public engagement, in -2014. The final year of the initiative will focus on implementation planning and capacity building for Rhode Island municipalities, state agencies, and community partners.
The Division of Planning issued the RFP as part of a broader $2.3 million initiative, funded by a grant from the Federal Partnership for Sustainable Communities, to mobilize state and community resources to improve the economy and quality of life for all Rhode Islanders. Twenty-eight other recipients were awarded Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grants in the last round; Rhode Island is the only state government to receive this funding to date. Successful awardees needed to demonstrate how their efforts would help reduce transportation costs for families, improve housing affordability, save energy, increase access to housing and employment opportunities, and nurture healthier, more inclusive communities which provide opportunities for people of all ages, incomes, races, and ethnicities to live, work, and learn together. The effort is aimed at building a sustainable, prosperous, and equitable future for Rhode Island through a series of strategic actions steps in the short-term and the implementation of long-term, comprehensive plans over 10 to 20 years.
A multi-agency review committee selected the Horsley Witten Group for the integrated planning project. The Horsley Witten Group is a full-service environmental science and engineering firm with offices located in Providence, Rhode Island and Sandwich and Newburyport, Massachusetts. Horsley Witten's team for the project includes Jamestown-based Mapping and Planning Services and leading national and regional firms, PlaceMatters, Goody Clancy, Nelson\Nygard Consulting Associates, 4Ward Planning, and Bonnie Heudorfer Housing and Community Development Consulting.
"We have an opportunity to develop a comprehensive, long-term strategy that integrates economic development, land use, housing, environmental issues, and transportation," said Kevin Flynn, Director of the Division of Planning. "We will take a new approach that unites the efforts of multiple state agencies and community partners as well as the public in order to create a stronger more equitable Rhode Island."
"We're incredibly excited by this opportunity. The potential for success in Rhode Island is enormous and we think this project could not have come at a better time," said Nathan Kelly, Project Manager at Horsley Witten. "Through a diverse set of partnerships, Rhode Island is going to develop an integrated approach to land use, transportation, housing, and economic development and we're ready to get to work."
As part of the Rhode Island Sustainable Communities Consortium, the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation, Rhode Island Departments of Environmental Management, and Transportation, and other state, municipal, and non-profit partners have joined the Division of Planning and the Rhode Island Department of Administration in leading this effort.
The next two years of the Sustainable Communities initiative will cover six key areas:
1. Economic Development: Create one economic development plan that integrates business growth with land use and transportation choices. Align economic and workforce development to create jobs in areas close to where people live.
2. Housing: Create a statewide housing plan that encompasses the needs of all Rhode Islanders, particularly working families and identifies impediments to fair housing.
3. Growth Centers: Develop strategies to promote growth where Rhode Island's infrastructure can best support it. Map natural, cultural, and economic infrastructure to guide the best use of limited resources.
4. Social Equity and Community Engagement: Involve a broad range of Rhode Islanders in the planning process. Ensure that the action steps created are equitable for all Rhode Island residents.
5. Technical Assistance and Capacity-Building: Create tools and training for Rhode Island's cities and towns, state agencies, and community partners to build skills and knowledge for implementation.
6. Implementation: Create detailed strategies to ensure Rhode Island achieves the goals it sets over the next two years. Identify ways to measure progress toward implementation.
In addition, the six key livability principles guiding the Sustainable Communities Initiative include:
1. Provide more transportation choices.
2. Promote equitable, affordable housing.
3. Enhance economic competitiveness.
4. Support existing communities.
5. Coordinate and leverage federal policies and investment.
6. Value communities and neighborhoods.

I wanted to share a story I just had published in the February issue of PR Tactics titled "Blog basics: Writing online is much easier — and enjoyable — than you might imagine."
In it, I address the concern of many businesspeople that blogging sounds like a great idea … but they're worried about the writing process. Here's an except:
The point these folks are missing is that blog posts are not newspaper articles, magazine pieces or essays. Blogging is its own medium, less demanding in terms of the written word, yet perhaps more powerful in the conversations it can create. It's worth examining the differences.
You can read the whole story here (PDF).
In short, if you can write an e-mail, memo or other simple written communication, you canblog. And since blogging is such a powerful tool for business communications, it's well worth giving it a shot.

Bone marrow and stem cell transplantation have evolved into a standard of care for people with blood cancers, and its use is only expected to grow. For some patients with leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndromes, such a transplant offers hope for a cure. With new approaches to reduce risk and novel ways to use transplants, more people are now eligible for this potentially lifesaving treatment.
Bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside bones such as the hip and thigh bones. It contains immature cells called stem cells which can mature into red blood cells, white blood cells and blood-clotting platelets. With a transplant, a patient receives new stem cells from a healthy donor to replace their own diseased bone marrow.
Here's how it works:
- The patient's faulty bone marrow is destroyed with high doses of chemotherapy or radiation.
- The donated stem cells are given to the patient intravenously and find their way to the insides of the bones.
- Over several weeks and months, the transplanted stem cells slowly rebuild the patient's immune and blood-forming systems.
Donated stem cells may come from a donor who matches a patient's certain immunological factors. First-degree relatives make the best matches, particularly siblings and parents. However, researchers have made advances in the use of "partially matched" transplants to expand the possibility of bone marrow transplantation to more people. Umbilical cord blood can also provide another source of stem cells, especially for patients lacking a matched donor.
Some patients can benefit from a process known as "autologous (self) stem cell transplantation." During the procedure, a patient's own stem cells are removed from the blood and saved. The patient then receives high doses of chemotherapy, and after that treatment is complete, receives the stored stem cells so the body can rebuild its blood-forming and immune systems.
Bone marrow and stem cell transplantation is a complex procedure and carries risks, and is offered only at academic medical centers with special accreditation, bone marrow transplant units, blood cancer experts and transplantation immunologists—such as NewYork-Presbyterian. There, scientists are also developing new approaches to lower the risk of treatment-related complications and reduce the chance of cancer recurrence after transplantation.

The smoke of the peat, the swaying bog grasses, ancient stone walls… it could only be Ireland's traditional heartland of Connemara
Passing through the desolate Doo Lough and Delphi Valleys towards the village of Leenane in County Galway is a dramatic journey. This is Ireland unplugged.
The rugged landscape and remoteness of the region has allowed Connemara to hold fast to its traditions.
"It is magical," writes US visitor Janice Bitis on the Tourism Ireland Facebook page. And she's not wrong.
Old stone walls, native ponies and traditional pubs make Connemara feel like the essence of Ireland.
"Irish language, song, dance and literature are all to be found in abundance here," says Paula Lydon from the Connemara Heritage and History Centre. But first let's start with the food…
Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, north and south, it's not surprising that Connemara has a strong seafaring tradition. Bowls of seafood chowder flecked with meaty mussels are served up on pub tables every night, and the sweet local crab is legendary. To take your fish odyssey up a notch, visit a local smokehouse.
The traditional art of smoking the wild Atlantic salmon, mackerel and tuna, that lands daily at Bunowen Pier in Ballyconneely, is a skill worth seeing and, of course, tasting.
Skip inland from the ocean, and there's another treat for the table: Connemara Hill Lamb. It's succulent, sweet and special enough to be recognised as a unique European food product with a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) certification.
Order a joint, a leg, a chop or a rack from any waiter here and you'll taste hints of wild herbs and notes of Connemara hill flower.
In Connemara, food for the soul is important too. That delicacy comes in the sounds of traditional music and the local language.
Over at An Tobar in Spiddal, traditional music spills out the door most nights of the week in summer. As trad music pubs in Connemara go, it's just one of many. Pub floors here are smoothed out by decades of toe-tapping locals and visitors. Mannion's, Power's, Tigh Hughes… find a session and you never know who might drop in. In Hughes Bar in Spiddal, U2 bassist Adam Clayton once pulled up a stool for a spontaneous tune.
Our advice, though, is to listen carefully: contained within some of these songs are the stories and fables of Ireland that have been passed down through the centuries.
Much of Connemara's magic comes from its hold on its linguistic traditions. As one of the island's largest Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) regions, locals use Irish on a daily basis. There's no need to let them have all the fun, though.
In a restored 17th-century hill village lies the cultural retreat that it Cnoc Suain. Here, you can learn the language, bake Irish soda bread or even dive into Irish dancing.
So if you're looking for the "real" Ireland, you know where to come…
The smoke of the peat, the swaying bog grasses, ancient stone walls… it could only be Ireland's traditional heartland of Connemara

Memorial Recognizes Those Killed in NATO Operations
By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service
BRUSSELS, Belgium, June 12, 2009 - NATO officials dedicated a monument here today to personnel killed during alliance operations.
NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said the stone marker outside the front door of the alliance's headquarters will serve as a reminder of the weight of the decisions made in the facility.
Danish Defense Minister Soren Gade suggested the memorial during a NATO defense ministers conference in Krakow, Poland, last year. Denmark donated the stone.
"This stone is a tribute to the men and women who have died for freedom and peace," Gade said during the dedication ceremony. "In our minds, they have not died completely. Their legacy of hope and sacrifice is still alive with us."
The defense ministers of the 28 NATO nations attended the dedication ceremony. "The commitment, courage and determination of our soldiers is what ultimately keeps us safe," Gade said. "And their unselfish efforts enable us to project freedom, peace and security and stability to regions around the world."
Italian Adm. Giampaolo Di Paola, chairman of the NATO Military Committee, also spoke during the dedication. The admiral said all who enter NATO must remember that the decisions made by the alliance in the building have consequences for young men and women.
"Every time we walk past this monument, let us think of two things: first, the brave men and women who have now taken their place in history, and secondly, that we are the first step on the path to the front line," he said.
De Hoop Scheffer said the sacrifice of fallen NATO servicemembers must never be forgotten.
"They have left behind families and loved ones who will forever remember them," he said. "But given their role and the sacrifices they have made under a NATO flag, it is right that we, too, shall forever remember them and their selfless dedication to the cause of peace and freedom."
At the end of the service, a U.S. Army bugler played "Taps," and then defense ministers and military officers paid their respects.

I read a couple of comments left on your post To My Only Son (And My Future Daughter-In-Law) and wanted to say how great your post was! Hilarious - my husband and I laughed a lot and being only a mother of one (a boy of 10 months) I understand EXACTLY where you're coming from. I hope to have more children in the future including a girl or two and I think I will always feel the way you say about my boy. And you're right, it's not favouritism but just a different type of relationship. Brilliant post, I'm sorry others didn't recognise your meaning! I'm so impressed with your ability to manage with such a large brood and only hope I can keep your humour when I have the same! xx

FARMINGTON — On Christmas Eve, the Stormanns practiced a family tradition played out every year for the last eight years.
They gathered around their family tree with Grammy Ridley, were thankful for their time off and waited for sirens to sound at their Waldron Road home.
Farmington Police Chief Kevin Willey, known as Santa Claus for the evening, exited a police car and walked up the driveway with Lt. Jay Drury at his side, for the department's 10th annual "Blue Light Christmas Special." The special entails a volunteer service where parents drop off gifts at the police station earlier in the season, and ask the authentic Santa Claus to stop by in a police car and surprise their families with the gifts.
The Stormanns' children, Jacob, 12, and Luke, 10, yelled out the front door "Merry Christmas!" as Willey and his wife Lesia, dressed as Mrs. Claus, approached. For the first time in 10 years, the Claus family was assisted by their eager elf named "Holly" also known as Willey's stepdaughter, 9-year-old Brenna Bober.
For the Stormanns, every visit from the blue light special team brightens their Christmas celebrations.
"I think it's just great to live in a town that has a program like that," Matt Stormann added, who has lived in Farmington for the last 13 years with his wife Bobbie. "It says a lot about the police department," "
Bobbie said the police stop has been such a regular occurrence every holiday season, the boys asked this year to make sure Santa would be back again. And Grammy Pamela Ridley visited from Lincoln, Maine, to experience the occasion.
"I think she loves it just as much as the boys do," Bobbie said.
Willey said by the end of Christmas Eve — with approximately 16 house stops lasting 15 minutes from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Dec. 24 — he is wiped out.
"You know, it's a lot of fun being Santa but it's also a lot of work too," he said. "That poor guy, I don't know how he does it all year long."
Willey, who lives in Rochester, said about five years ago, his family got used to him not being around for most of the evening the day before Christmas, but then his wife asked if she could help out. Willey's stepdaughter said she wanted to be a part of it this year, as well
Brenner said for her first trip out into Farmington she was most looking forward to "giving out candy canes and seeing the kids' faces."
The Stormanns said their eldest son, Jacob, has always had a fascination with police cars and fire trucks, so the special program has always been a special treat for him. Willey said he has remembered Jacob every year since he was a toddler.
The family posed around their Christmas tree with Santa, while the red-suited curly-bearded man chuckled and "ho-hoed."
Bobbie said they would celebrate the rest of the evening with a special lobster dinner they have every year.
Asked what she loves the most about the magical night, Bobbie Stormann said seeing "the excitement" of her children.
"Especially when they were little …," she said. "I think they would be disappointed if Santa didn't come."

GLAAD awards Cooper, Ratner, 'Smash'
Film director Bret Ratner, TV drama 'Smash' and reality series 'The Amazing Race' are among those honored by GLAAD for fair depictions of gay characters in media.
UPDATE 5:55 p.m. ET, Sunday: Madonna made news at GLAAD's annual media awards Saturday in New York when she took to the stage to present an award to TV's Anderson Cooper.
"I think they should change their stupid rules, don't you?" said Madonna, dressed in Scouting gear and speaking about the Boy Scouts' ban on gay Scouts and leaders. She presented Cooper with the Vito Russo Award, which recognizes an openly lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender media professional who has made a significant difference in promoting equality.
ORIGINAL POST: The gay advocacy group GLAAD's annual media awards honored film director Bret Ratner, Smash, the NBC drama about producing a Broadway show, and CBS's reality series The Amazing Race, at a ceremony in New York tonight.
Also, the 24th Annual GLAAD Media Awards enlisted Madonna to present its Vito Russo Award to CNN's Anderson Cooper, who recently came out and now says he's blessed and proud to be gay. (Vito Russo, who died in 1990, was a film historian who was one of the first to raise concerns about how gays and lesbians are portrayed in the media.)
The GLAAD Awards (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) honor media for fair representations of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their issues.
Ratner, the director of Tower Heist, X Men:The Last Stand, Rush Hour and others, got GLAAD's inaugural Ally Award — a major comeback from the embarrassing flap last year when he joked that "Rehearsing is for fags" at a press conference and had to quit as producer of the 2012 Academy Awards ceremony.
Since then, Ratner has made amends. GLAAD officials have described Ratner as stalwart friend to the gay community who joined with the group to direct and produce a a public service announcement campaign, GLAAD Coming Out for Equality, featuring straight celebrities, athletes, musicians and politicians "coming out of the closet" as supporters of equality.
Smash, about the drama behind-the-scenes in the effort to mount a Broadway musical about Marilyn Monroe, features gay characters and was named outstanding drama series. In The Amazing Race, winner of the outstanding reality series award, teams of couples race around the world; last year, the 21st season, a gay couple, goat-farmers Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell, won the $1 million prize.
Other awards covered documentaries, television and print journalism and Broadway and Off Broadway theater.

- England v Australia, NatWest Series, Old Trafford
Bopara stars as England clinch 4-0 victory
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Australia's coach, Mickey Arthur, had called for more mongrel but the Australian attack dog managed only a growl or two as England ruthlessly completed a 4-0 victory in a NatWest Series that remained in their control until the last. Australia remain top of the ICC one-day rankings solely because of the abandoned match at Edgbaston, spared by Pommie rain.
England were set 146 for victory in 32 overs, a target reduced to 138 in 29 as rain tumbled for the last time from churlish Lancashire skies. There was potential for it to be awkward as Australia took two quick wickets, but Alastair Cook, looking more and more like a one-day captain of status, and Ravi Bopara, in one of his most bullish innings in an England shirt, timed England's seven-wicket victory with 11 balls to spare with aplomb.
Cook fell with 12 runs needed, caught at slip off Ben Hilfenhaus for 58, but Bopara, his Essex colleague, saw things through. He has good reason to remember this series fondly. He finished as the second highest run-scorer in the series, behind Ian Bell, strutting his stuff for England like he rarely has before, and has probably secured a batting place in the first Test ahead of Eoin Morgan and Jonny Bairstow on the strength of it.
Bopara had fun with the ball, too. His loosener strangled Steve Smith down the leg side and David Hussey edged another routine delivery to the wicketkeeper. If this weather keeps up, he can fiddle through a few overs as England's fifth bowler against South Africa.
Australia will want to forget this series by the morning. They have been not as much out of season as overpowered by England's high-class pace attack in challenging conditions.
They will console themselves that it has been a tour with no significance, a tour devised by administrators during misguided diplomatic tit for tat. But Michael Clarke, Australia's captain, sought no excuses: "It was a wake-up call for the team," he said. "England were class. A lot of our team have not faced an attack like that in one-day cricket."
The public have turned out in defiance of abysmal weather, and England have rewarded them with committed, powerful cricket, but not before time, a proper series, against South Africa, awaits. They have beaten Australia in a one-day series with conventional cricket and that will help convince them they can carry this form into the longer game.
There have been more beautiful visions than the one that met England and Australia at the end of this series. The skies glowered in various shades of Manchester grey, a colour now so popular that it has swept the nation, and an extensive rebuilding scheme had left parts of the ground covered in scaffolding.
Only the façade of the old pavilion remains. Walk behind it at the moment and it looks like a theatre prop except with more rubble. It could be excellent when it is finished, but it is not finished and a capacity crowd, having endured afternoon rain, suffered the privations of a half-finished stadium in the belief that a brave new world will have dawned by the time the Ashes Test returns a year's hence.
It was 13 degrees in Manchester, colder than Christmas Day apparently, and Australia looked ready for the tour to end. David Warner, at the start, and George Bailey in the final throes of a laboured Australian innings, batted gamely, Bailey finishing unbeaten on 46 from 41 balls as 25 came off the last two overs.
However, James Tredwell was another England player with cause to regard the match as invaluable. Graeme Swann, England's premier offspinner, exudes the confidence of a chat show host; Tredwell, his experienced Kent replacement, displays a meekness that Swann presumably tossed aside soon after birth, along with his first baby rattle.
Be that as it may, Tredwell proved a more than capable replacement for his more outgoing colleague. He finished with 2 for 23 in seven overs and was involved in one of two England run outs as their ground fielding again achieved standards that in this series their catching has not matched.
Samit Patel redeemed himself for an earlier dropped catch with a sharp throw to Tredwell at the bowler's end as Peter Forrest failed to hustle a second run to long on. Clarke, again looking to up the tempo, sought a desperate single in to the off side and was comfortably run out by Morgan's direct hit.
Such has been the praise lavished upon England for their rise to No. 1 in the Test and T20 rankings, allied to the suspicion that an identical standing in ODIs might not be far behind, that a slight deterioration in their catching standards has largely passed unrecorded.
James Anderson, the local favourite; the otherwise impressive Tredwell, who before his wickets would probably go down as the man least recognised; and Patel, who found himself playing the unwanted role of the fielding buffoon, dropped three catches between them in consecutive overs.
Wade was dropped off Stuart Broad and Steven Finn in successive overs, Anderson palming away a chest-high chance (a rare blemish from England's finest close fielder that almost had DEAD RUBBER stamped on it) and Tredwell, who stooped for a low one somewhat rheumatically as if the endless rain was beginning to take its toll. As for Patel's fumble when Warner hacked Broad to third man, the looks of disbelief on the faces of spectators behind him told its own story.
In that time, Warner fuelled Australia. He grafted hard and had one domineering moment when he swung Broad over the long-on boundary. He had a run-a-ball 32 when Tredwell produced turn and defeated an ungainly sweep.
Wade, opening because of Shane Watson's return, injured, to Australia, made no claim to the job for good, scrambling 12 in 41 balls before Tredwell had him stumped. It was a hard ask - against challenging English conditions and against Anderson and Steve Finn, armed with two new balls - but his critical stare at the spot where the ball had turned quite normally was a poor exit.

PEOPLE's hottest bachelor joins the show as Mark McGrath focuses on his music
Extra is saying goodbye to host Mark McGrath and hello to new anchor Mario Lopez, once the show returns for its 15th season on Sept. 15, its producers have announced.
Current co-host Dayna Devon is due to remain as a special correspondent on the show, which has been renewed through the 2011-12 season.
Lopez, 34, who last month was named PEOPLE's hottest bachelor, joined Extra in January 2007 and co-hosted the weekend edition of the program.
"Mario … has established himself as a highly engaging, likeable and sought-after host and personality," Hilary Estey McLoughlin, president of Telepictures Productions, said in a statement.
After three years on Extra, McGrath, 40, plans to focus on his musical career, said the producers' announcement. He is currently recording a new album with his band, Sugar Ray.

Get to know HAC founder Samuel Pierre – the mayor's eyes and ears
New York City has nearly 8.3 million residents, but it's only got one mayor. That's where the Community Affairs Unit – and proud St. John's University alumnus Samuel Pierre '07CPS – steps in.
"We are the eyes and ears of the Mayor," said Pierre, who currently works as the North Brooklyn Borough Director. "Our job is to basically be him in the community, to serve as liaisons, attend board meetings and know exactly what's going on. If an incident occurs in downtown Brooklyn, it's our responsibility to make sure the Mayor knows the 'who, what, where, why and how' before his press conference. That way he'll know all the names and pertinent information."
The job is a dream come true for Pierre, who discovered his passion for government and politics as a student at St. John's, primarily thanks to his experience in Student Government, Inc. (SGI). An incredibly active student, Pierre served as SGI's Chair of Research and Development and found the opportunity life-changing.
"The funny thing is," Pierre joked, "I didn't know a thing about research or development! But I had become friends with Fabrice Armand '04CPS, '07G, the outgoing President, and he sort of took me under his wing. Before I knew it, I was involved in the By-Law Committee, I joined Haraya – St. John's Pan-African Students' Coalition – and I founded the Communications Club. I was pretty involved."
The experience convinced Pierre that a career in real-world government would be best, and he landed a job with U.S. Congressman Ed Towns only a week after graduation. He later worked as Deputy Director for New York Assemblyman Alan Maisel and eventually found himself where he is today in the Mayor's Community Affairs Unit.
"I always tell people: SGI and real government are the exact same thing," he explained. "If you turn on CNN or C-SPAN, you're basically watching an amplified Student Government meeting, which is why I always say that SGI was such an eye-opening activity. It teaches you how to interact with others, how to lobby for what you need and how to endure those Budget Committee meetings that take hours and hours and hours."
Additionally, Pierre currently serves as the Community Affairs Unit's Director of African American and Caribbean Affairs Citywide. To this end, he is responsible for covering and briefing the Mayor on major issues that happen in predominantly African American and Caribbean neighborhoods throughout all five boroughs.
"Whether it's the neighborhoods of Harlem, Jamaica, Brownsville – I'm the one who handles certain unique situations that may arise there," he explained. "All in all, the unique thing about my two roles is that you never know what's going to happen at any given moment, so there is no such thing as a 'typical day.' One minute, I might find out that I need to attend an unexpected board meeting or even a funeral. Every day is different and challenging in its own way."
Fortunately, Pierre is prepared for anything thanks to his time at St. John's, and he loves to talk about his student days. He remains great friends with many of his fellow alumni, frequently attends Men's Basketball games and, whenever he speaks with St. John's students, he encourages them to join SGI.
"St. John's gave me an incredible opportunity, one that I couldn't have gotten anywhere else," he said. "We were 19 or 20 years old and managing an SGI budget of $1.8 million – that's impressive to employers and speaks volumes about what you can do in the real world. So my advice is always this: get involved and stay involved. That's the trick."

Omar strengthens into major Category 3 hurricane
SAN JUAN (Reuters) - Hurricane Omar strengthened into a major Category 3 storm as it raced toward Puerto Rico and the small islands of the northeastern Caribbean, threatening to bring torrential rains that could trigger dangerous floods and mudslides on Thursday.
The 15th tropical cyclone of a busy Atlantic hurricane season, Omar formed north of the Dutch island of Curacao on Tuesday, briefly disrupted oil operations in Venezuela and shut down processing units at a refinery in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Omar was a Category 3 storm on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane intensity, with sustained winds of near 120 miles per hour (195 km per hour) as it passed between the Virgin Islands and the northern Leeward Islands, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.This is bigger than presidential politics. This is a battle for America.
Winds up to 125mph now.
Looks like it's past the V.I. so that's good for them, it was moving pretty fast.
The good thing about being an island surrounded by deep water is storm
surge goes around ya, it's not a major damage factor. The bad part is that
you get big waves. When I was on St. Thomas during Bertha one of the (if not
the only) death from the storm was some "dude" who went out surfing.May the FORCE be with you!

Our article about being fatherless on Father's Day brought about more e-mails than ever before. Here are some of the highlights.
"Great words from the heart," said Mary Gin. "As a card carrying member of the DDC club since 1991 (Dead Dads Club at the age of 22), I get what you are saying. It is a club that has gained many members over the years, a club which one does not wish for their friends and loved ones to ever join."
"After reading your article I decided to start a new tradition this Father's Day too," wrote Ellen. "I went to dinner with a good friend, just as you said you were going to do, and we told stories about our dads. We laughed and cried. It was just what we needed. Thank you for the idea."
Lisa said, "Today is my mom's birthday and I am trying to create a new tradition as to how we celebrate those special days. Just wanted to say thank you for the article from the 'Miss My Parent' club."
"This is my first Father's Day without my dad," wrote Sandie."I am 50 years old and my father passed away last week. Even though we were able to say how much we meant to each other, it's still very difficult. I just cried when I was sitting in my living room alone, quiet . . . and it hit me that I will never have a Father's Day again with Dad. I guess I have to grow up."
"Just read your article today about Father's Day and loved it," said Kelly. "My dad passed away almost 30 years ago when I was 14 and the last thing he told me was he loved me. That's not all that strange but we did not talk like that to each other often (although I knew he loved me) and he died unexpectedly. Now as a father, I make it a point to tell my two girls I love them every day."
"Thanks for the lovely words," wrote Mary. "I lost my father in my mid 20s and my husband and my son's father died nearly 8 years ago . . . of brain tumors. I find the day is a tough one as it is filled with memories and thoughts of those men and knowing the loss for both of us makes the day more poignant. We have started crafting our own celebrations of the day that work for us, and may seem odd to others, as in Chinese food and the movies. Trying to replace what we have both lost doesn't work, yet trying to remember and find a way to celebrate what we had and what we still treasure now rules the day."
"I can so relate to your ache of how to spend Father's Day with no dad," wrote Keith. "I lost my father, as well as an uncle and a close friend on three separate Father's Days over a five-year period. It's a terrible time of year for me. I try to stay busy. If there's a ball game I will try to go with my buddies to take my mind off it. But still, there are many time when you can't get away from the memories."
Patty wrote, "Thank you for your column about reaching out to our fathers on Father's Day. I have been in a fight with my dad. Why? Not really sure actually. Someone said something that upset somebody. Now it's gotten so out of hand that I'm going to end the silence with a call. I don't know that he'll return my call, but I will make the effort regardless. Wouldn't have considered it without reading your piece, so thanks, I think."
While Patty will be making amends, some other readers didn't appreciate my suggestion of reaching out to Dad.
"My two kids' dads are pretty much jerks," wrote Judy. "My 20-year-old daughter called her dad at my urging and my 14-year-old son pretty much dodged his dad's phone calls."
David wrote, "I read your article with mixed feelings. My father and I don't speak, and probably never will again. The man he became over time never appealed to me and I chose a different path to follow. The things that he did to my mother are hard to understand and make one wonder how anyone can treat another human being in such fashion. I would rather have your memory of life and loss than the reality that I face this time every year. For me, it gets better — but there's always that 'What if?' that will go unanswered. Be glad that you don't have to ask that question."

Carsharlton's "Pretty" Ricky Boylan admitted he learnt a lot from his six-round victory over tough Polish operator Krzysztof Szot on Saturday at York Hall, Bethnal Green.
However, it was not plain sailing as the 60-54 shut-out on referee's Marcus McDonnell scorecard suggests as the 25-year-old Boylan had to endure fierce resilience from Poznan-based Szot before claiming his 11th professional success.
Boylan, who in his last bout four months ago claimed the Southern Area light-welterweight title from fellow Carshalton resident and friend Tony Owen, said: "I knew he (Szot) was tough and very durable. I just wanted to get the rounds under my belt which I done.
"It was the perfect fight for me so I will learn a lot from that and it will help me further on in my career, so I'm happy.
"I'm now looking forward to keeping busy, staying active and learning a lot more."
And Boylan was given some encouraging words from his co-promoter Matchroom Sport's Barry Hearn.
"Barry just gave a couple of tips but he was happy with my performance," he added.
Boylan will next fight on May 21.

Book of Jasher Referred to in Joshua and Second Samuel
by Anonymous
Enter your search query for this book.
Results will appear here as you type.
Page loading...
The original Book of Jasher referred to in the Old Testament has not survived into the present. Two creative fabrications gained prominence, however. This 1840 translation is of a 13th century reconstruction of the original, which, according to tradition, contained alternate accounts of Jewish heroes meant for moral instruction and edification. First published in Salt Lake City, the work has consequently sparked the particular interest of the Church of Latter-Day Saints.

Extremely bright black holes gobbling up matter in the distant universe have provided a window back in time for astronomers to study dark energy more than 10 billion years ago.
Dark energy is the mysterious force thought to be pulling everything in the universe apart, causing space-time to expand and galaxies to move farther and farther away from each other, all at an accelerating clip.
Dark energy, whatever it is, currently appears to be beating out the attractive of force of gravity that works to pull galaxies and everything in the universe closer together. However, that wasn't always the case. When the universe was young, astronomers think dark energy's impact was small, and gravity won out.
To confirm this idea and learn about when gravity lost the fight to dark energy, astronomers must look back in time. They do that by studying extremely far objects whose light has taken billions of years to reach us on Earth, thus presenting a picture of them as they were long ago.

Teen's space mission fueled by social media
Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: "Astronaut Abby" is at the controls of a social-media machine that is launching the 15-year-old from Minnesota to Kazakhstan this month for the liftoff of the International Space Station's next crew.

Now, researchers report observations of the early universe from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), which studied thousands of distant objects called quasars to map out the universe up to 11.5 billion years ago. Quasars are active black holes that release copious amounts of light as they gorge on matter.
"No technique for dark energy research has been able to probe this ancient era before, a time when matter was still dense enough for gravity to slow the expansion of the universe, and the influence of dark energy hadn't yet been felt," BOSS principal investigator David Schlegel, an astrophysicist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, said in a statement. "In our own time, expansion is accelerating because the universe is dominated by dark energy. How dark energy effected the transition from deceleration to acceleration is one of the most challenging questions in cosmology."
The BOSS scientists used the Sloan Foundation Telescope at the Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico to observe more than 48,000 far-away quasars. The measurements were what are called spectra, which break light up into its constituent wavelengths. In this case, the spectra revealed key information about clouds of gas that the quasars' light traveled through on its journey from them to the telescope.
By studying the distribution of gas throughout the universe, the scientists pieced together a large-scale map of how matter is spread out in space. This spread reveals variations — called baryon acoustic oscillations — that arose soon after the universe was born and which provide a cosmic ruler to measure how quickly the universe was expanding at various stages in the past.
"We are seeing back to the matter-dominated universe, when expansion was decelerating and dark energy was hard to see," said Berkeley astrophysicist Martin White. "The transition from decelerating expansion to accelerating expansion was a sharp one, and now we live in a universe dominated by dark energy. The biggest puzzle in cosmology is, why now?"
The mapping technique using quasar spectra has never been done before, and represents a technological breakthrough, the researchers said.
"When I presented this idea to a conference of cosmologists in 2003, they thought it was crazy," White said. "Nine years later, BOSS has shown that it's an amazingly powerful technique. It has succeeded beyond our wildest dreams."

Your Posture
Heels don't just make your legs look great. They also help our bodies get into lordosis, or the spinal posture where our backs are naturally arched and our rears are tipped upward. This pose attracts dudes on a primal level because female mammals naturally crouch down and angle their butts when they're about to mate. Um…hot?
Your Scent
A recent study by German researchers revealed that our bodies put off a natural "scent" to help us find mates that have strong immune systems. However, our vaginas also release a musky smell during that time of the month—known as copulance—that stimulates testosterone and sexual arousal in men.
Your Smile
Interested in a guy? Smile at him—he'll instantly be attracted. Think about it: When someone smiles at you, you naturally mimic the grin—even if you don't realize it. The reaction smile moves muscles in the face which, in turn, stimulate the nerves that produce the brain's feel-good chemicals.
Your Gaze
Your eyes can also influence a guy's attraction through the phenomenon known as a copulatory gaze. Basically, looking into a guy's eye for two to three seconds flips a primitive switch in his brain which makes him react to your hotness or retreat.
Your Teeth
A new study of singles in America by Match.com found that one of the biggest thing guys look for in a girl is a set of good teeth. Your chompers subconsciously tell him a lot about you, like your age and health.
Think about it: White teeth show that you have good nutrition and personal habits; yellow teeth can be an indicator of bad health—not something a guy wants when he's looking for a mate (whether he realizes it or not).
Your Hair
Your hair—like your teeth—tell a guy a lot about your health. Shiny, healthy hair is a sign of youth and fertility, subconsciously telling him that you'd be able to carry on his genes.
