We stayed at Larkspur Landing for four nights in November. The suite had a full kitchen with dishes and utensils, a desk and office chair, one comfortable chair with ottoman, and the bedroom including large flat screen TV. The bed was very comfortable as it had a feather bed topper on the mattress. ...
A groovy wee spot booked through Expedia. The rooms were former apartments and very spacious. Vintage decor and a really fun and up and coming neighborhood. Amazing, friendly staff.
The hotel was nice and spacious. The parking garage was a nice option at no extra charge. The refrigerator was full sized, but the ice cubes tasted terrible and every time the fridge shut off it sounded like two trains hitching up which would constantly wake you up.
Was a nice place to stay for us because we had two couples and two toddlers staying in the townhome. There are two bathrooms as well. The size of the room was great for this.
The staff was great, rooms are spacious and comfortable. Location is great! Parking is tight but at least it is available.
My goals in staying here were to mostly stay inside my room for two days to get away and rest. I had my 15 month old baby with me and the room was perfect. It was relaxing and the king bed was very comfortable. My baby and i slept very well in the bed together. The bathtub is DEEP! Perfect for relaxing ...

Spring is here and we are trying to get our backyard ready! We have a nice large backyard and can grow thousands of pounds of produce, but for some reason we can not grow grass!! We just cant do it...it just dies! SO, we are trying it once again!! We bought 12 tons of nice compost and had it delivered (which of course a large pile of dirt is strictly for climbing and sliding!)
Then Bryan decided that we needed to rid the back yard of a few trees!
Now to pick up the tree! Which of course is the most fun part for Henry and Addie!! (dont worry everyone...they are fastened in quite tightly!)
Oh and while we are at it we might as well get a shed delivered! This shed was at my grandpas house and they didnt need it anymore and it was basically going to get thrown away...so we had it moved here to be our new milking barn and a place to store all our animal feed and hay :)
How awesome is this little machine!!
Ummm ya its a tight fit!!! The shed is 10'4" and the opening on our side gate (WITH the gate and hinges taken off) is 10'5"...but this guy sure wasnt scared to try!
Yep, that tight!
PULL BRYAN PULL!!!
Ok, now lets trim some more trees!
Dont look kids...daddy and Mr Paul arent being very safe.
Now lets rearrange the yard while we are at it...chicken coop is moved to the back to make room for our new shed :)
Now to leveling out the yard again and spreading the compost evenly.
Oh boy...what a weekend! We have ALOT more work to do but this is a good start ;) Ill definitely keep you posted on our progress! But now we are under a ton of rainfall so it is quite the mud pit back there!! But we are EXCITED!!!!

- Statutory operating profit of £14.9m, up from a small loss
- Acquisition of shopper media group
In the last few decades marketing has shifted from charismatic artists selling emotive TV commercials to data analysts providing insights into customers’ online behaviours. Data driven marketing consultant Next Fifteen Communications (NFC) identified this trend years ago and has managed to produce robust results during a pandemic when many companies have cut traditional advertising spend. With people forced online in the past 18 months, digital first agencies are in high demand.
In the first half of the year its adjusted net revenue was up 32 per cent to £166m and adjusted profit before tax jumped 69 per cent to £35m. The associated margin improved by 4.6 percentage points to 21 per cent. Management said improved profitability was “aided by the favourable revenue mix towards more higher margin services and improved operational gearing”.
The higher-margin service in question is its customer delivery business which uses data and analytics to “create connections with customers”. This business saw its organic net revenue grow by 48.8 per cent, the fastest of any segment in the business. It also boasts an adjusted operating margin of 36.3 per cent, considerably higher than the 21.1 per cent group average.
The one aspect for investors to keep an eye on is that despite the rise in operating profit, operating cash flow fell from £31.5m to £27.3m. This was due to a £25.7m increase in the receivables which meant there was more working capital tied up in the business. Growth is great but you need to be able to turn work quickly into cash through prompt billing.
Off the back of its strong pandemic performance the company is going to accelerate investment and hire additional talent which is expected to have an impact on margins in the second half of the year. Numis is expecting full-year operating margin to drop to 19.8 per cent because of this investment. However, it has raised its 2022 EPS forecast by 2 per cent to 50.3p, giving an implied PE ratio of 22.4. Despite tricky comparators in the second half of the year, the company is expecting double-digit organic revenue growth. The addition of major clients Boots, Citibank, Diageo and Disney should help it achieve this. The group has a more developed digital offering than many of its competitors, while recent industry research suggests that upwards of 40 per cent of companies intend to increase their data-driven marketing budgets.

Western Plains. Visit an open forest in a National Park that is
home to a large and healthy population of wild koalas. Our Koala
Research Project ensures that on most days we have multiple sightings
of these delightful creatures. Within easy reach from the centre
of the city of Melbourne, these environments provide the perfect
introduction to Australia's unique wildlife and indigenous culture.

DAY 3 THE EXPANSE OF THE WESTERN PLAINS - volcanoes and lakes
in a great savannah. This morning we have one last look at the coast
in the dramatic morning light before returning to Melbourne across
the vast grasslands of the Western Plains. Created by intense volcanic
activity over the past 2 million years, the 7000 volcanoes of the
Western Plains are now extinct but the resultant savannah is now
pasture to the richest wool growing area on earth - a wonderful

to the top of an extinct volcano with spectacular views across the
plains. From the summit we see some of the hundreds of volcanic
lakes scattered across the plains. Later we pass Lake Corangamite,
the largest permanent lake in Australia, often covered with prolific
birdlife. We return to Melbourne in the late afternoon. (BL)

carefully chosen wildlife locations in south eastern Australia.
Our fantastic team of Wildlife Guides – Bill, Paul, Joanne, Martin
and Janine & Roger – and Koala Researchers – Mary, Donna &
Melinda – ensure that every tour is a special, once-only experience.
No two tours are ever the same with wild animals!
Our Wildlife Team provides support to our tours. Research conducted
on tour is passed on to you and to the National Parks Service, Field
Naturalists Clubs and the Atlas of Australian Birds. All wildlife
seen on tour is noted, forming a large, valuable repository of data
on population densities of native species, including some threatened
species. Submission and analysis of this data is a huge job, but
enormously valuable, so guests are encouraged to assist with this
most important of tasks.
Echidna Walkabout respects our Indigenous Cultures, and is grateful
to the Wathaurong and Gunnai communities for their support over
Our tour groups are small (no more than 8 people) allowing for
a personal experience and optimal wildlife viewing opportunities.
For the past 15 years, Echidna Walkabout has tracked and monitored
the movements and lives of hundreds of wild koalas. The proceeds
of each tour contribute to this important study and our guests are
involved while on tour. The results of this study are made available
to all our staff, the National Parks Service, Field Naturalists
Clubs, wildlife veterinarians and wildlife carers.
For many years Echidna Walkabout and our guests have been improving
the natural habitats we visit, through weed and rubbish removal.
The removal of the noxious weed Boneseed, in particular, directly
improves habitat quality for Koalas.
We are also regenerating an old farming property west of Melbourne
as a Wildlife Habitat – for the benefit of native wild birds, Kangaroos,
Koalas and Wallabies, plus reptiles, frogs and invertebrates - to
restore some lost habitat to these wild creatures that have given
us so much.
We have, and have always had, a serious commitment to running

Another London Festival Sells Out
Those Brits sure do love their music festivals and they definitely have enough excellent ones to go around this year. The latest being the Princess Diana Memorial Concert which is set to take place on July 1st at the new Wembley Stadium on what would have been Diana's 46th birthday. The first batch of tickets sold out in 20 minutes back in December with an additional 10,000 seats made available yesterday. Pharrell Williams, Keane, Kayne West, Take That, Lily Allen, and of course Sir Elton John are all on the bill. Sir Elton John has been very public in the past about his affection for the late Princess and is incredibly honored to be able to pull this off, "Diana was a personal friend and someone I greatly admired for her tireless and enthusiastic work for charity." Proceeds from the event will go to a host of the charities Diana supported throughout her life as well as two the Princes also devote time to, Centrepoint and Sentebale. (via NME)
*The new Wembley Stadium has a capacity of approximately 90,000 for all of those crazied football fans.

The hook here is the game is actually a traditional turn-based role-playing game instead of a twitchy fighter. You draw on Ki power to initiate special attacks like Krillin's Destructo Disk and Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon, and when the right abilities are activated more damaging and elaborate combo attacks are unleashed. Dragon Ball Revised: Saiyan Invasion is a developed by , and distributed by in North America and everywhere else under the label for the console. A breath of fresh air compared to the normal street fighter like fighting games previously released. She would point out the game's difficulty being frustrating, stating that the game will cause players to revert to the start screen many times, yet is still beatable. Battle: Gohan, Yamcha, and Krillin vs. These can be rather pretty, and again stay faithful to the style of the show where enemies get hit with a rapid series of attacks and then slammed into walls, at which point another character might blast a gigantic energy beam at them or another blink in to initiate more rapid-fire melee strikes.
However his presence as a secret boss may be in reference to the game's title Attack of the Saiyans and Broly is a villainous Saiyan. Overall, a brilliant well-rounded video game that the developers can be proud of. It was released in Japan on April 29, 2009. However, some of these obstacles require stronger levels of blasts. Popo's Shenron to provide them with a strong opponent, which though powerful is still weaker than the real Broly, thus explaining how the Z Fighters would be able to defeat him. All in all this game is not perfect but you will still find yourself firmly engaged in its game play will provide many hours of mindless fun what else is to be expected from a video game. The characters are very interesting: Goku, Yamcha, Krilin!!! The game was released in Australia, Europe and America in November 2009 with the label.
A shame this game did not get a sequel,seeing how the ending is left at a cliffhanger. On May 25, Namco Bandai's European branch released a press statement announcing that they would be releasing the game throughout Europe under the new name Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans. Spring Guards in the Hermit Spring In combat, the player's active team members will consist of the first three members or less in their roster. That fact that it is a handheld game means you have no excuse to not play it, take it anywhere. Firstly thanks for your comment, as it would help other users on the site.
As characters progress through the plot, they gain experience and become stronger, with new and more powerful attacks and special abilities. One of which depicted different looking graphics command icons. The touch screen will display available equipment that can be used while in fields. The battle screen will take place at the screen with the party facing off with a monster or a boss, their stats and the command select icon presented via the touch screen. However, it was stated in the series that Dragon Balls are meant to be unbreakable, unless too much negative energy is stored in them.
The use of these combos and each character's most powerful attacks are regulated by a rage gauge that fills as you deal and take damage, creating a flow and progression in battles. Though it's not perfect, it should give fans what they're looking for as it follows along with the Vegeta Saga from the show. This means main characters are rarely all in the same place, and in Attack of the Saiyans, it takes a good long while before you've got anything resembling a regular party, though I could see how some people may like how your party makeup is constantly shifted as the game follows along with major plot points. The game, however, just isn't able to drum up any real drama. Ability Points can be used to buy or upgrade skills in in a character's skill menu.
Based on the most popular anime series of all time, Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans is a brand new role-playing adventure where players battle as Goku and his Earth Defense Force allies to save the world from Vegeta® and the threatening Saiyan enemies. With a huge map for you to explore as you get stronger and stronger. All other Dbz games for handheld's were just terrible. The game was met with fair criticism with gaming critics complimenting the battle system, its visuals, and its ability to stay true to the series. With tonnes of unlock-able content, the game is very rewarding. When wandering around dungeon areas, you run into random enemy encounters and try to explore all areas to access all the treasure chests. These items are available courtesy of Capsule Corporation Dyno-Caps which can be bought, given, or found in various spots and or treasure chests.
The game was originally planned to use the Z moniker, but was changed to Kai to associate it with the revision. True to the story and the gameplay is solid and based on mathmatics and not chance. Power up characters while you explore the pretty backgrounds. The primary tension is usually generated by weaker characters fretting for their lives and waiting around for stronger characters to show up so a threat can be wiped out. Many of these areas have obstacles such as rocks and brush which the player will have overcome with. Each character will have a few set attacks and techniques at the player's disposal while the rest are locked.
If the following few sentences don't deflate your interest in this game, then it might be worth picking up. Having watched the Vegeta Saga years ago, I understood the context as I played and knew what was coming so it wasn't all that disorienting, but any newcomer is going to have a hard time trying to figure out who all these battle-obsessed people are and how they relate to one another. Attack of Saiyans really is one of the better games to release on handheld consoles. The characters are very interesting: Goku, I liked this game because Dragon Ball Z is new in this style of game and the result was good. If you're not a Dragon Ball Z fan, however, then this isn't really a must-play. In the February issue of V-Jump, it was announced that the title had been changed from Dragon Ball Z to Dragon Ball Kai to tie-in with the Dragon Ball Kai revision.
Popo's Dragon Ball set to collect, and bonuses to find. The game makes little to no use of the stylus, forcing players to rely on the control pad. This isn't a terribly complicated game since there's no gear to manage aside from accessories and items, so it's not like there's all that much to take into account before entering a fight, but still it's nice to know you don't have to fight against an interface as well as your adversaries. Unique to Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans, the team combo attack system enables players to combine the awesome might of each party member's super martial art attack to inflict massive damage onto enemies. We are really sorry but the only thing we can advise at this time is to try again at a later time, they are too popular for their own good it seems.

ashley simpson sex tape: Top 7 Solutions To Becoming a Positive Companion.
Satisfy the certain lover. An enthusiast that anticipates that every sexual experience will be definitely delightful, both on their own and for their partner. He or she is ensured that what they perform in bed will result in satisfaction.
For the positive fan, sex is enjoyable, interesting and meeting. Over and over again.
You can not be a positive partner if you are not a confident male. If confidence does not come naturally to you, fake it up until you make it. Align your posture, come to be much more assertive, work at obtaining a promo at job, bridegroom yourself, buy some self-help publications and a couple of workshops on building self-confidence.
Sexual confidence is fluid
Sex-related self-confidence isn’t something we have or do not have, discusses Dr Chris Fox, an elderly lecturer in sexology at the University of Sydney.
” Positive self-image is fluid, so is sex-related self-confidence.
” I can talk before an audience of countless individuals, but I can not stand in front of my household and give a speech without bursting right into tears.” Ms Mourikis states while any person can be sexually positive, “it just takes some job”
Would you such as to recognize what makes a certain fan?
1. Be deliberate
And I’m not just discussing being intentional about launching and taking pleasure in sex (although that is necessary, as well). Be willful about your partnership! The even more you really feel protected about the health and wellness of your marriage and the even more you delight in each other’s friendship and business, ashley simpson sex tape the more you discover the wonderful structure for extraordinary sex-related connection.
If ever there was a connection where we need to not obtain laxed in revealing and getting relationship and love, it is marriage.
As for initiating sex, do you want to grow in your self-confidence? Possibly not if you are the one that hardly ever launches. There’s no other method to come to be more confident doing something than to do it a lot more.
To give you an example, I enjoy it when people hug like they imply it. You understand what I’m chatting around, right? They truly hug, like they deeply care and do not actually wish to allow go. Exactly how did they obtain by doing this? They hug a whole lot. And when they hug, they hug like the mean it.
Expand in your sex-related confidence by being deliberate in your relationship and intentional in the means you initiate sex. That’s a large part of expanding in self-confidence, also.
2. Express Yourself Authentically
Being sexually confident means being that we are at our core without holding back. Sharing ourselves entirely causes an air of self-confidence that absolutely nothing else can. Spend some time to examine if exactly how you share on your own is just how you desire to express yourself. Expression through your clothes and overall look is especially crucial when it comes to really feeling sexually positive. Do you avoid wearing particular clothing since you think you can’t pull it off? Do you not put on make-up because you’re scared of being evaluated or think you can not make it look great? Do you shave your pubic hair or keep a specific hair color only to please various other individuals or because it serves by society’s criteria?
Possibly there are some things you ‘d such as to experiment with concerning your look– subtle distinctions can make substantial changes in your self-confidence when you’re making changes that show your real self. Go with what lights you up– the a lot more you do, the a lot more certain you will really feel all about.
Discover and Own Your Desires When you know what you want and when you really feel deserving of having it, you are most likely to obtain it. So spend some time to think of you want sexually and in your entire life at this present minute (that you are currently might not be who you were last year or also recently). Since honestly, as soon as you begin going after your needs in one location of your life (i.e. profession), you’re most likely going to pursue your needs in various other locations of your life, like your sex life.
When it concerns sex, maybe you desire to obtain a bit more kinky or experiment with a threesome. When it comes to your career, perhaps you’re imagining starting a passion job and taking it full-time so you can quit your draining pipes task. Whatever it is, have it– and understand that you are worthwhile of it. Think of what it would certainly require to fulfill your desire and take a little step toward achieving it. Perhaps having a prone discussion with your companion or making time over the weekend break to practice your innovative craft.
3. Remaining Present And Not Having An End Goal In Mind Simply Yet
“A confident individual understands that if the partnership does not function out, after that it merely wasn’t indicated to be even more than it was,” Trescott says. “You can symbolize this self-confidence by embracing the concept that whatever will be, will be and that whatever’s meant for you can not escape you.”
4. Believe outside package
As a Christian, are you a reluctant lover when it involves attempting something besides missionary placement? We as married Christians should be anxious to welcome sex-related liberty, but frequently we are stuck in self-imposed sexual obstacle. Too lots of married Christians are losing out on amazing passion, enjoyment and connection with their spouse.
God actually offers us remarkable sex-related liberty. We must offer pause and not so quickly disregard something that God has not plainly stated you can refrain sexually.
If you want to grow in your sexual self-confidence, you would certainly be smart to assume outside of the missionary-position-only box. And neither of you need to be getting enjoyment at the cost of the other person getting hurt, as the basis of healthy and balanced sexual affection is abiding love.
Arousal needs to be seen much more as a buffet of lots of delicious options instead of a predictable dish. And sexual intercourse is not the only method to reach orgasm for an other half or a spouse. You have alternatives and opportunities, satisfying strategies and touches to discover.
Think outside the box. Attempt some brand-new points. Expand in your confidence.
5. Enjoying Doing Things You Really Enjoy With Your New Partner
The very early days of a connection are supposed to be fun. Currently you have a partner to explore and have fun experiences with, so take benefit of that. “Do points with each other that you both like,” partnership specialist and spiritual therapist Davida Rappaport, informs Bustle.
6. Sleep nude
If there is one point that will increase your womanly self-confidence in a big means in a very short time it would be this one. They commonly dress and undress very fast, stay clear of looking at themselves naked in the mirror, and feel very shy while removing clothing in front of their companion or in front of eyes of the other people while putting on a swimsuit on the beach.
Rather than embracing our bodies as a feminine temple and priceless vehicle which is bring us via our lifetime, a birthplace of a development and a brand-new life, embodiment of intuition, sensualism, feminine knowledge, soft qualities, mild Jin energy, an instrument for providing and receiving love, we began treating and looking at it as a “number”, despite the fact that it is far more spiritual than that.
Resting naked more frequently will aid you tremendously to assist you feel extra confident in your body. It might seem unpleasant or scary initially, however beginning by taking tiny steps (like resting just in underclothing) and you will discover the sensuous and positive Goddess within you soon.
7. Take a look at the proof
Have you had numerous females inform you that sex with you is awful? Did you have a partner inform you that you don’t understand what you are carrying out in relationship to sex? You require to recognize and test your thoughts by asking yourself what evidence you have that you lack sexual confidence.
If you do not have real proof of someone offering you feedback, after that you can challenge your negative self-talk and change it with something a lot more practical. You will obtain stuck if you remain to worry concerning what somebody may think of you. This is waste of power for you. It is more vital exactly how you see on your own. You are in control of examining and transforming your story when you do not have evidence to support it.
THE BASICS: The Fundamentals Of Sex In An Excessively Complex Sex Negative Globe
The Basics of Sex Locate a sex therapist near me Is there any kind of topic much more complicated than sex? At one degree, sex is pretty easy.
We live in a mainly “sex-negative” globe, and most of us have actually invested years internalizing the message that sex is bad/dirty/wrong/ sinful/dangerous. These toxic messages fulfill up with the unavoidable reality that sex stimulates extensive vulnerability physical and psychological nakedness.
Yet here’s a modern spin. Today, we aren’t just pounded with shaming and silencing messages concerning sex. We additionally soak up a set of well-meaning messages motivating us to be confident in the bed room. We are informed to damage complimentary sexually to be sex-positive, liberated, complimentary, and vibrant. This opposing set of messages is a brand-new variation on an old style. The danger of internalizing the liberation-at-all-costs message is eerily similar to the danger of internalizing the puritanical message. That danger? Interference from self. Under this new paradigm, sex ends up being an efficiency, an effort to offload embarassment by proving your convenience with sex-related expression, your liberty, and your prowess.
Consequently, if you are craving extra self-confidence in the bedroom, you have to start with self-compassion. Our intimate relationships are a powerful crucible for growth and healing if we are dedicated to exercising relational self-awareness.
Relational self-awareness is a continuous curious and caring connection with ourselves that ends up being the foundation for a prospering intimate partnership. In my work as a partnership educator and couples specialist, ashley simpson sex tape ,what has actually ended up being abundantly clear to me is that our relational self-awareness should include cultivating sex-related self-awareness.
Sex-related self-awareness needs us to change from an outside-in experience of our sexuality to an inside-out experience of our sexuality, quieting the noise to ensure that we can cultivate a deep, close, and nuanced understanding of our erotic self. Each of us should have to feel comfortable in our skin, able to share our desires and requires in the bedroom. Each of us deserves an experience of sexual confidence that is authentic rather than performative. That is why the trip toward sensual confidence should be sustained by fierce self-compassion. According to scientist Dr. Kristin Neff, self-compassion has 3 elements:
Self-kindness: Associating with ourselves the way we would certainly relate to a bosom friend.
Usual humanity: Recognizing that we are much from alone in our struggles and insecurities.
Self-compassion has to do with being on your very own group. It is a recurring commitment to forgiving yourself for not having it all identified, for being miserably and deeply human. And it is a requirement for great sex.
Real-life sex is a much cry from what we see in films or porn, and real-life enthusiasts are much from excellent. Real erotic confidence is a willingness to permit ourselves to be seen in our complete humanity.
Your sex-related self modifications as you relocate with the phases of your life, so it’s never too late to become much more self-compassionate … and therefore much more sexually confident. Here are some techniques to obtain you started.
Start to pay interest to just how you speak to yourself when you’re having sex. Are you self-critical about exactly how your body looks, or scents, or feels? Take your time.
Bring mindfulness to bed with you. Mindfulness exists moment awareness without judgment, and it is a column of self-compassion. Sexuality scientist Dr. Lori Brotto (2014) located that training females mindfulness abilities aided them feel extra qualified to sex-related enjoyment … and a lot more most likely to have an orgasm.
Chatting with a companion concerning sex expands count on, and building trust fund makes it simpler to speak about sex. Partnership scientist Dr. Sue Johnson says, “In truth, studies inform us that in real life, individuals in lasting relationships that can speak freely concerning their sex life have even more and far better sex than new or much more hesitant pairs. What really establishes what kind of sex you are going to have isn’t the unique settings you find in the sex guidebook or the new ideas in the most recent magazine.
Why Is It So Crucial To Love Yourself?
This might seem a lot more essential to some than others, yet vanity is one of the very best things you can do on your own.
Being in love with on your own supplies you with confidence, ashley simpson sex tape self-respect and it will normally help you really feel more positive.
You might likewise find that it is simpler for you to fall in love when you have found out to enjoy yourself initially.
If you can learn to like yourself, you will be much better and will learn just how to best deal with yourself.
When you are absolutely in love with on your own and satisfied, you should quit contrasting yourself to others so much and need to discover yourself extra certain, not fretting as much regarding what others assume.

What people who are confident in the bed room have in common is the knowing that sex is awesome! It’s fantastic fun. And they have no questions that their companion likes being in bed with them.

Can anybody become a positive Lover?
Even though he was still erect … I was actually surprised when he told me that he did not have a climax … I can list so numerous embarrassing things that I believed when I simply began having sex, yet really the most embarrassing of all was the fact that I claimed that I recognized … I made believe, and I was as well happy to be eager to learn. My recurring experience of sex was not consistently favorable. My self-confidence was as absolutely no as absolutely no can get.
I really felt a whole lot of shame around my very own sexuality and I really did not recognize exactly how to come close to sex in such a way that will make me feel whole and tranquil.
I’m sharing my previous experience since I believe becoming confident in bed is feasible for everybody. If I did it, so can you!

To start with, I acquired enough knowledge and skills to obtain me feel great in my individual understanding of sexuality. And I continue discovering. And the most effective skill– which I am continuously developing– is to discover from my companion. To comprehend what help him. And what benefit us. And just how to communicate it with each various other.
Currently I can claim that I am positive in bed. Due to the fact that I made the effort and made this a mindful decision.
You can not be a confident sweetheart if you are not a confident guy. “A positive individual understands that if the connection doesn’t work out, after that it merely wasn’t meant to be even more than it was,” Trescott states. What individuals that are positive in the bed room have in typical is the understanding that sex is outstanding! As a confident enthusiast, you reject what does not match you at an offered moment, understanding it will not impact your or your companion’s pleasure in the room.
To begin with ashley simpson sex tape, I acquired enough knowledge and skills to obtain me feel positive in my individual understanding of sexuality.

The L.A. Times is reporting that Donald Sterling still has not signed off on the sale of the Clippers because he has hope that the NBA will rescind his $2.5 million fine and lifetime ban.
The Times is reporting that Sterling initially thought that he was absolved of those penalties before he read a draft of a statement from the league.
“In terms of saying something in a draft press release that indicated they would be dismissing the lifetime ban and the fine, that is not true at all,” said the person, who spoke anonymously because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter. “That doesn’t mean that [Sterling] wouldn’t have read something like that into it.
“But if they interpreted it that way that is wrong and there is no thought of lifting the lifetime ban or the fine being rescinded.”
Reports say Steve Ballmer is still waiting for the Sterlings to sign off on the deal.


Aaron Schaffhausen has pleaded guilty to killing his three young daughters at the family's River Falls, Wis. home, but has maintained that he shouldn't be held responsible because he was insane at the time. Presecutors have argued Schaffhausen was perfectly aware of what he did.
An insanity defenses is a tough sell to a jury, according to a report by Steve Karnowski of the Associated Press.
"Winning with an insanity defense is usually an uphill battle, though the legal test in Wisconsin is somewhat easier than in other states," Karnowski writes. "Wisconsin requires at least 10 of the 12 jurors to find the evidence shows a defendant suffered from a 'mental disease or defect' so great at the time that he or she 'lacked substantial capacity either to appreciate the wrongfulness of his or her conduct or conform his or her conduct to the requirements of law.'"

We rented this cabin for four nights between Christmas and New Years. The cabin had that cabin feel right out of the 70's. The décor definitely has it's charm. The only reason I am giving it four stars is that the beds were not very comfortable. Those could and should be upgraded. Upon our arrival we were looking to jump straight into the hot tub (it was the deciding factor in choosing this specific cabin). I found it to be unlocked and when opening the lid noticed that it looked like a bear had climbed in for a soak the water was so dirty. I called Mt. Baker Lodging and Wendy took care of it immediately. She even went so far as to give a portion of our money back for the inconvenience. Overall our stay was excellent and Mt. Baker Lodging really went the extra mile to make it that way.
It is a lovely dated Cabin (orange shag carpet) with comfortable furniture and nice beds. We spent the Christmas weekend there and one of the best features was being able to have our dogs with us! The only negative was the wood: there was a fireplace and logs but no kindling or matches. It's a place I would recommend staying!
My review is not so much on the cabin, as my title says what you see is what you get, nothing fancy or spectacular but good enough, the cabin has great neighbors. My review is on the Mount Baker vacation rentals agent. These people are beyond helpful and professional. During our stay the first morning after we arrived a freak gust of wind blew and blew down a tree that landed on this cabin. In 20 minutes a very nice lady (wish I could remember her name) from the rental agency was there to help us into another cabin which at first I did not think it was a upgrade but after getting over the shock of tree falling on our roof, I realize it was. Not only did she assist us into the new place but gave us a 10% discount per night stay. I was very pleased with this but when I went to turn in our keys on sunday, I was informed they were refunding us for the first night. Thing is, this was not there fault that a tree fell, it was a healthy tree, so for them to do this is above and beyond.

The Bologna based artist Stephano Scheda has interesting collections of both photographs and video art.
His beautiful an visually strong photography is of nudes and architecture, both based on a gifted eye for form and colour. The nudes are particularly interesting in their use of the human body as an architectural, almost abstract form.
He also uses combinations of more models, or perhaps more rightly said here - human shapes - to buil new shapes. Quite interesting.
Or like this, the abstracted nude.
The video art is stranger, and in my eyes more poetic. Here the strong visuals and geometry from the photographs is left behind, to instead explore a silent, mystical vision of the human condition.
The online gallery of the Italian photographer Daniele de Vitis has a wonderful collection of photos. Very varied in thematics and compositional style, the images are all very thoroughly thought out in both subject matter and composition.
While many of the images deal with themes as loneliness and the human body’s vulnerability, the main thread through the varied work is to me images as visual poetry, which shines through even in many of the more directly erotic photographs.
The online gallery of the Italian artist Alessandro Bavari showcases photo-collages, paintings, monotypes and video works. What really fascinates here is the digital photo-collages, that really are excellent works of art. Very surreal, not so much Dali as a digital age Hieronymus Bosch, painting images of a strange hell with his digital paintbox. The best work is the newest, with the large series «Sodom and Gomorrah» standing out as the absolute best – it’s quite fantastic, strange, haunting and truly brilliant.
I rate Alessandro Bavari’s online gallery a full six out of six stars. Click here to visit.
The online gallery of the Mexican artist Felix D’Eon is quite varied technically, showing paintings, drawings, watercolours, quick sketches and pen-and-ink illustrations sorted into a plethora of themed galleries. All is very good, and all shows variations on the themes of the male nude and gay love, with D’Eon’s charming personal touch. Although almost all of the artworks are quite engaging, what I fell for was his pen-and-ink drawings. Called «illustrations» throughout the many theme-galleries, they are in a charming style reminding of old British school books. But what a school that would be! Frolicking naked boys, kissing, running through the surf, flying to the heavens on the wings of gay love. The erotic motives contrasts interestingly with the child-oriented style, resulting in original and memorable works of art.|
The Mexican born artist Jose Parra impresses with superb colouring and draughtmanship. What interests most, however, is the strange world his artworks drags the viewer into. A surreal world inhabited by a strange mixture of quasi-historic, symbolic and mythological imagery. A flying ship, a naked King’s Fool in front of a strange world map, a Queen carried on the back of an elephant accompanied by a host of lightly clad men - all staring surprised at something outside the picture frame. What is it all about? The artworks are like illustrations to a great and mystical fantasy book, as yet unwritten. An interesting and intriguing collection, indeed.


Neil Young's legendary music archive is free for fans to listen to on his website for the rest of the year.
Neil Young's music archive is free to listen to on his website for the rest of 2020.
The 75-year-old music legend has given his fans the gift of his entire career's work online this Christmas to provide some comfort listening amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
In a statement on Neil Young Archives, he said: “We are doing well here and feeling good. We hope you are well, too.
“If you are locked down, we are here for you with hours of listening and cruising around through the years in movies. We want you to enjoy what we have to share at NYA … It’s my music and our lives. Peace.”
Among the music released in the past five decades, is the ‘Archives Volume II: 1972–1976’ boxset, and his 'Fireside Sessions', which included a cover of Bob Dylan‘s ‘The Times They Are A-Changin’'.
The upcoming film,'Timeless Orpheum’, is also streaming for free.
In the summer, Young shared the unreleased album 'Homegrown' after 45 years.
The 1975 LP, which he hailed as "the unheard bridge between 'Harvest' and 'Comes a Time', was released back in June.
'Love Is A Rose', 'Homegrown', 'White Line', 'Little Wing' and 'Star Of Bethlehem' had already been released on previous albums.
However, the CD included six new tracks.
Young explained that the record was intended to be released after 1972's acclaimed album 'Harvest', but he couldn't put himself through the "heartache" of listening to it at the time because it documented a "sad side of a love affair".
The Canadian musician said: "I apologise. This album 'Homegrown' should have been there for you a couple of years after 'Harvest'. It's the sad side of a love affair. The damage done.
"The heartache. I just couldn't listen to it. I wanted to move on. So I kept it to myself, hidden away in the vault, on the shelf, in the back of my mind .... but I should have shared it. It's actually beautiful. That's why I made it in the first place.

Baldwinsville, N.Y. -- The Baldwinsville girls soccer team got a pair of goals in the final 15 minutes tonight to defeat rival Fayetteville-Manlius, 2-0, in a rematch of last year’s sectional championship game.
The Bees (6-1) handed the Hornets (5-1) their first loss of the season and exacted a measure of revenge from last year, when F-M dethroned Baldwinsville in the Class AA sectional final.
It was the first match-up between the two SCAC opponents in what very well could be another trilogy this season.
After more than 65 minutes of very even play, Bees’ senior midfielder Sophia Cavallaro scored what proved to be the game-winning goal off of a pass from junior forward Hannah Mimas.
With 3 minutes remaining, Mimas provided an insurance goal, off an assist from Hannah Johnson, when she broke in from the right side and went top shelf on F-M goalkeeper Sydney Mahr.
“I think the girls played well together,” Bees’ coach Kathy Morse said. “We finally were making passes and doing things we knew we could do but just hadn’t put together yet.”
Mimas, who might have had another goal had a hard shot from the left side not glanced off the crossbar in the game’s fourth minute, echoed her coach’s sentiments, saying everyone gave a full effort.
“I feel like it was our whole team, honestly,” she said. “We played the entire 80 minutes tonight, even when the subs came in.”
While Mimas said it felt good to defeat the Hornets after losing to them in last year’s sectional final, she admitted that this game - one of two regular-season contests with a likely tournament date as well - was just one step.
F-M coach Brent Ostrander said that it was a case of missed oppportunities for the Hornets.
“We didn’t finish our chances,” he said. "We had plenty of corners that we did not execute. We had plenty of sets that we didn’t execute. And we had plenty of one versus one situations that we did not put in the back of the net.
“And they are deadly when they get opportunities,” he added.
Ostrander said he told the team not to dwell on this defeat. He said the Hornets will get another chance - probably more than one to turn the tables.
The teams meet again Oct. 7 in Manlius.

I’ve been practicing yoga regularly since 2005 and teaching since February 2009 I’ve found that the more I do it, the more I love it. I started because of my history with “Multiple Sclerosis” (MS).
I’ve been teaching multiple levels of Yoga classes since 2009. I teach at four Assisted Living/Nursing Home Facilities one includes an Alzheimer’s unit I teach Chair Yoga at the Allen Eiry Senior Center in Tiffin. I also teach at the Tiffin Developmental Center that includes residents with Autism and a wide range of varied intellectual disabilities. For more information contact me at firstname.lastname@example.org
My mom passed away 2 weeks after I was diagnosed with MS. So between the MS and mom passing away, Carol and I started looking at life differently. Life’s short and everyone should enjoy it, doing what you want, when you want, and at the pace you want (or try anyway).
In 2001, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
It all started on a hot June day in 2000 when I was working in our restaurant attic on a hot summer day and my vision became blurry. I came down, drove home and relaxed in the AC and within 15 minutes my vision was back to normal. An Opthamologist said I had an eye headache. A year later the sensory issues were back and continued to linger. The doctor sent me to another Opthamologist for further testing. The conclusion, optic neuritis, but no mention of MS.
An MRI showed lesions on the brain, then it was on to a Neurologist. With the MRI results and my insistence the Neurologist reluctantly agreed to perform a Spinal Tap. This showed Myelin (sheath around nerve) floating in my spinal fluid. Doctors conclusion was that if I were a women or lived in Galion, Ohio, he would consider MS. Three quarter of diagnosed cases of MS are women, and apparently Galion is a hot bed for MS.
I fired the Neurologist and my family doctor sent me to the “Mellen Center at the Cleveland Clinic” where they specialize in MS. Within 15 minutes, I was told I have MS, in remission and needed to start on an MS therapy drug. I chose Avonex, an inter-muscular injection once a week that I took for three years. I then chose to discontinue the Avonex due to flu like symptoms that lasted 36 hours. All was well for about two years then I started having vision problems. I was driving truck for Conway pulling doubles at the time. A return appointment with my MS doctor ended my truck driving career do to safety issues.
Conway hired me as a Freight Operations Supervisor which was fast paced and stressful but fit right in with my type A personality. Almost two years as dispatcher everything was fine, then my worst MS exacerbation began. By February of 2005 the wheels came off and I was spinning out of control fast. I was so sick, I couldn’t make it a full day without a nap to combat the fatigue. At one point my vision was so bad I couldn’t drive and had to rely on co-workers and family members to get me to and from work. I received IV steroids several times to combat each new symptom. Eventually things were so bad my MS doctor gave me an option for treatment using chemotherapy. I was willing to try anything so I agreed and started chemotherapy once a month. After my third round of chemo, my doctor stopped my treatments. I was getting very sick from it and it was not helping with my symptoms. Everything the Neurologist tried didn’t work, so there was nothing more that could be done besides the IV steroid treatment to stop each new symptom from becoming a permanent condition. During this time I also went to see a Psychologist to help me with depression caused by the MS.
An example of what I was going through: I got out of a hot shower (a no no with MS) one day and felt something going on with my face. I looked in the mirror and the whole left side of my face was sagging and within an hour the whole left side of my face was paralyzed. I had to lubricate the eyeball and wear a pirate patch since I no longer could blink or control anything on the left side of my face. At the same time the muffler in the left ear stopped working and any sound would blast in with excruciating pain. So, I had to wear an ear plug to dampen down the noise. I also had electric shock from my head down the back side to my heels, a dropped leg, and an occasional spasticity of jerks or spasms. The majority of my issues happened on the left side of my body. These non stop issues were the reason for the chemo. In May 2005 I started on Copaxon, another type of MS drug that didn’t contain interferon, which was causing my flu like symptoms. This drug was a once a day subcutaneous injection which was easy compared to the once a week inter-muscular injection.
With no end in sight of my severe MS symptoms my doctor wrote a two page letter to send to disability and told me if I went back to work in any job requiring me to be on my feet or stressful environment I would have a good chance of another severe exacerbation as bad or worse than what I was going through. I was approved for disability and was on it for three and half years, before taking myself off. July of 2005 is when I began doing Yoga five minutes a day and would have to recover from complete exhaustion and fatigue when I was done. After building a little strength and energy back from doing Yoga I began studying computers and ultimately going to Columbus for Yoga Teacher Training too.
MS and the benefits of Yoga is the main reason for starting this blog. Within a month of starting Yoga in July 2005, I was noticing improvement and the length of my yoga practice grew as well as gaining energy. It got to the point the MS induced depression would be gone for several hours after the practice, and my dropped leg was happening less and not as deep of a collapse as well as my sensory issues diminishing. After a year I was able to stop going to the psychologists since the depression was down to a time or two a month and lasting only a couple of days. Depression now is non existent. Yoga was and is a large part of my success of getting to the point that I am at today. Proof for me that Yoga is healing, we went on vacation and I didn’t practice Yoga the whole week and by the end of the week my leg was dropping and the electric shock was back. After we returned home and two days of Yoga, my symptoms were gone. Yoga is one of the main ingredients that has changed my life. I have changed in so many positive ways as a person since being diagnosed with MS. From the daily actions of everyday life, and how I’m trying to help people with the classes I teach and through this site.
Yoga has helped me with balance, flexibility, coordination, strength, energy, and depression. The list of benefits are endless with a regular practice of Yoga.
In December 2011 I had my annual MS appointment and I had an MRI, the first since 2006. The results were positive, my doctor said I still have the brain of someone with MS but there is no activity. She said whatever I’m doing keep doing it. I continue to live a day at a time just like the rest of the world because nobody knows what tomorrow will bring. We can all end up in the dark, but keep looking, there is light, and with work you can free yourself from the darkness.

Whilst rail dominates the world of transport – in budget, column inches and industrial strife – the quiet crisis that millions are dealing with is the near-total collapse of our local bus services. Millions of people use the bus at least once a week, twice as many as those who catch trains, with almost three billion bus journeys made in 2022. Buses are the lifeblood of local communities – indispensable for connecting people to jobs, opportunities, education, public services and friends and family. And they disproportionately serve the more deprived in our society; half of the poorest fifth of families do not own a car.
In the teeth of a cost-of-living and climate crisis, any sensible government would be doing everything within its power to encourage people onto public transport and ensure buses are affordable, accessible and reliable. Indeed, the Conservatives promised they would “not only stop the decline” in bus services but “reverse it”.
Instead, they’ve done the opposite. Since 2012, thousands of services have been lost – with more than 1,000 scrapped in the last year alone. Each one of these represents more people cut off from their loved ones, from the ability to get a better job or further their education. Lost connections like these hold back our economic growth, worsen our community life and deepen our productivity problem.
That’s why the Labour Party are putting buses at the heart of our transport plan. Decades of failed deregulation have left communities with little say over the essential services they rely on. It has handed operators enormous power to raise fares and slash routes and, in many cases, cut communities off altogether. We are one of the only countries in the developed world that gives operators such power.
And the Conservatives’ answer to the failing status quo has been more of the same. They are content to stand in the way of much-needed bus reform and instead simply manage decline. They use short-term sticking plasters to paper over the cracks at the same time services are in freefall.
The next Labour government will end this broken system. As I announced at conference, one of our first acts will be to extend power and public control of local bus services to every area of England that wants it, and we’ll do this through the Take Back Control Act. We’ll also make it simpler for communities to take back control: under the Conservatives’ failing system, it can take years for local authorities (the few that have been permitted to do so) to take control over the services they depend on, leaving them mired in costly legal challenges. We’ll remove the unnecessary hurdles that allow operators to stand in the way of change so that public money can be spent where it matters – on delivering a better public transport network for all.
For years, communities have demanded we fix our broken buses. Labour will do it. We are already seeing the fantastic work done by Labour mayors up and down the UK when they have been given the power to make decisions in their communities, for their communities. Many have lowered fares and have plans to deliver London-style networks in their communities.
We want every part of England to have that power and for it not to take years to get there. And, as I announced at conference, we’ll go further still by lifting the ban on municipal bus ownership, allowing local leaders and communities to take control for themselves, building on the success of Nottingham, which has one of the most used bus networks in the country.
A future Labour government will finally give buses the priority they deserve, which reflects their importance to communities. We will put the interests of passengers and the community first, fix our broken bus networks and provide people with the affordable, accessible and reliable public transport they deserve.

The Best Cross-Training for Dancers, According to 12 of Your Faves
Today, dancers are cross-training more than ever. And though there are some recommendations about what types of cross-training might be best for dancers' bodies, ultimately it comes down to what works for you.
We asked 13 pros about their go-to cross-training routines as part of our "Spotlight" series—and each one of them has a totally different approach:
Martha Graham Dance Company's PeiJu Chien-Pott
The Washington Ballet's Ashley Murphy
Miami City Ballet's Nathalia Arja
Tap Dancer and Choreographer Caleb Teicher
"I've started rock climbing/bouldering at Brooklyn Boulders in the last year, and I love it. It's intelligent movement, strength training and problem solving rolled into one. Beyond that, social swing dancing, independent practice in a dance studio and yoga/Pilates when I can."

"When my schedule is pretty busy, I stick to yoga and light free weights. When my schedule isn't too heavy, I, like any good Pacific Northwesterner, love to hike. But after a long week, miles of elevation sounds like the last thing that I want to do! There is really no substitute for dancing to get in dancing shape."
B-Girl and Choreographer Ephrat Asherie
"Dancing for hours to music by my favorite DJs. That really helps my stamina and breathing. In terms of something more regimented, I have a set of breaking drills that build technique in a way that has sustained me for years."
Pennsylvania Ballet's Sterling Baca

Boston Ballet's Joy Womack
Contemporary Choreographer Jacob Jonas
"In the summers, I swim a mile in the ocean every Saturday morning. During the rest of the year, I enjoy going to the gym, weight training and playing basketball. Basketball is especially fun for me as it has the same physical demand as dance without the creative expectations."
We knew that Ivo van Hove and Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker's production of West Side Story would challenge our preconceived notions about the show.
But a recent Vogue story gives us a taste of just how nontraditional the Broadway revival will be. Most notably, van Hove is cutting "I Feel Pretty" and the "Somewhere" ballet, condensing the show into one act to better reflect the urgency of the 48-hour plot. (The choice has been approved by the West Side Story estate, including Sondheim, who has "long been uncomfortable" with some of the "I Feel Pretty" lyrics.)
Back in 2011 when Joe Lanteri first approached Katie Langan, chair of Marymount Manhattan College's dance department, about getting involved with New York City Dance Alliance, she was skeptical about the convention/competition world.
"But I was pleasantly surprised by the enormity of talent that was there," she says. "His goal was to start scholarship opportunities, and I said okay, I'm in."
Today, it's fair to say that Lanteri has far surpassed his goal of creating scholarship opportunities. But NYCDA has done so much more, bridging the gap between the convention world and the professional world by forging a wealth of partnerships with dance institutions from Marymount to The Ailey School to Complexions Contemporary Ballet and many more. There's a reason these companies and schools—some of whom otherwise may not see themselves as aligned with the convention/competition world—keep deepening their relationships with NYCDA.
Now, college scholarships are just one of many ways NYCDA has gone beyond the typical weekend-long convention experience and created life-changing opportunities for students. We rounded up some of the most notable ones:
It's a much-repeated part of Francesca Hayward's origin story that she discovered ballet at age 3, when her grandparents bought a video of The Nutcracker to keep her occupied and she immediately started dancing around the room. What's less well-known is that there was another video lined up next to The Nutcracker that Hayward liked to dance along to: Cats. "I really just did the White Cat bit and fast-forwarded the rest," she remembers. "I'd make my friends who came around be the other cats."
Twenty-four years later, she's not only become a Royal Ballet principal, but has been cast as Victoria the White Cat in Tom Hooper's new movie adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, out in theaters on December 20. "I remember the director telling me I'd got the part: 'Just to let you know you're the lead in a Hollywood film,' he said." Hayward laughs. "This is crazy!"
"The show must go on" may be a platitude we use to get through everything from costume malfunctions to stormy moods. But when it came to overcoming a literal hurricane, Houston Ballet was buoyed by this mantra to go from devastated to dancing in a matter of weeks—with the help of Harlequin Floors, Houston Ballet's longstanding partner who sprang into action to build new floors in record time.

If you have been visiting for awhile now, you may remember that I have a couple of friends that are knocked-up.
They don’t know each other, but both really like sock monkeys.
I decided to skip making the blankies and go with what I knew they would enjoy – whether they have boys or girls.
I googled sock monkey hat patterns and found one for newborns.
Then, since that one was super small and I didn’t like the ears and it didn’t have a pompom on top,
I changed the ears and the mouth and the stitch and the count, did some frogging, re-worked that one…
and ended up making my own pattern for this second one.
I like the idea of displaying them on glass jars – that was a good one.
So, while my version is in no way original – I now have a pattern I like for sock monkey hats and I plan on making more. They are cute and quick.
Now, I am off to make matching booties for both. But first, to find a pattern I like on those too. Any suggestions? I must be too picky…I have been reading and searching and testing and frogging. I am just going to need to choose a pattern soon because I have only a few days till the first baby shower. Martha (my sista from another mista) and I have been crafting and plotting and planning. Sunday is the big day and we expect to make this shower a smashing success. I have an awesome diaper cake to show you with directions…
until next time…
Thanks for stopping by!

Charmm (as well as Gromacs) does contain improper dihedrals to maintain
"Racemization" is definitely a misatke if you want to realistically simulate
itself but if you want to predict a structure (eg. by running
with NMR-derived restraints, simulated annealing etc.) you can change
in final structure by some programs (I think Sybyl or Insight) and than
with optimization and evaluation.

A new genetic tagging study has revealed where young salmon gather and begin to migrate during their first summer at sea.
The study found that they migrate along the continental shelves off Ireland, Scotland and Norway, and subsequently aggregate to feed in the Norwegian Sea west of the Vøring Plateau in international waters. Here, they are exposed to potential mortality from major commercial fisheries for other pelagic species, the paper says.
This genetic analysis of fish caught at sea demonstrates that the salmon stocks that make up this feeding aggregation are – unexpectedly – not from neighbouring Norwegian rivers, but are predominantly from southern rivers such as those in Britain, Ireland, France and Spain.
This points to fundamental differences in migration behaviours, and likely explains variation in how stocks from northern and southern European rivers have been responding to environmental change and, critically, to recent climate change. It may also account for the differences that have been observed among stock groups in marine survival.
“This report is the culmination of a major logistical and technical effort to synthesise the data from 385 marine cruises, 10,202 individual trawls, 9,269 captured post-smolts, spanning three decades and approximately 4.75 million km2 of ocean, and 3,423 individuals assigned to their region of origin,” said joint senior author of the paper Professor Philip McGinnity of University College Cork and the Marine Institute.
The sampling was largely carried out by research vessels from several European countries, including the Marine Institute’s RV Celtic Explorer, and the laboratory analysis by many European labs.
“This paper is the result of sampling efforts that were vast in space and time, and equally impressive collaboration including research agencies and universities from many nations,” added Professor Tom Quinn of the University of Washington’s School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, which is a leading world authority on salmon.
“These scientists have revealed rich variation in the early marine migrations of Atlantic salmon from different regions, and are entirely consistent with a growing body of research using similar genetic methods being conducted on Pacific salmon.
“It is clear that salmon migrate to distant, stock-specific locations at sea, despite never having been to these regions before, and having no older members of their cohort to lead them. The environmental conditions that they encounter in their respective locations will affect their access to food, hence growth, but also their exposure to predators and intercepting fisheries. Thus migratory routes are of great consequence for the persistence and recovery of salmon stocks, in addition to the marvel of animal orientation that they reflect.”
“Precise information on migration routes and timing are crucial for research into highly migratory marine species,” said Dr Niall Ó Maoiléidigh of the Marine Institute and a co-author on the paper, “especially as the main factors causing population declines may be unknown.”
The study was published in the international journal Fish and Fisheries and can be found in full here.

text: Music video for “I’m into something good” by Little David Wilkins. Only on iTube247. “I’m into Something Good” is a song composed by Gerry Goffin and Carole King and made famous by Herman’s Hermits. The song was originally recorded by Cookies member Earl-Jean in 1964 and reached number 38 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Soon thereafter, Herman’s Hermits recorded the song as their debut single, reaching number one in the UK Singles Chart on 14 September 1964, and staying there for two weeks. The song peaked at number 13 in the US later that year. Arranged by Hermit’s guitarist Derek Leckenby, the record featured an up tempo rendition. Herman’s Hermits’ release at the height of the British Invasion came while Brill Building songwriters, Goffin and King in this case, found themselves in danger of obsolescence, as most of the British groups wrote their own material. The song has since been featured in films such as The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! and The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue, and was also featured in the Season 5 episode Road to Rupert of Family Guy.
