Critérium du Dauphiné 2019: The Route
Last Sunday, the Critérium du Dauphiné set off in Aurillac to finish in coming Sunday in Champéry, Switzerland. The race serves is a versatile route with a mountainous last weekend.
Departure place Aurillac is located in the southwest tip of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It is a first for the town in the foothills of the Cantal Mountains.
The 1st stage is a hilly test with five intermediate ascents, while the finale is played out on a local circuit with two climbs up the Côte de la Route des Crêtes. The summit is crested 18 kilometres before the finishing line.
Mauriac hosts the start of the 2nd stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné, which travels on the slopes of the Auvergne region to Craponne-sur-Arzon. The sprinters should come to the fore on the 3rd day. The finale is a fast man’s dream with a 5 kilometre long straight to the line in Riom.
The Critérium du Dauphiné serves an individual time trial as its 4th stage. The distance and route profile resemble the ITT on the upcoming Tour de France, so it will be a perfect test. At 26.1 kilometres, the course is far from flat, but not mountainous either.
The sprinters are given another chance to shine in Voiron on stage 5 before GC riders are going to take the reins in the last three days. At 229 kilometres, the 6th stage serves the longest race of the week. At the end of a hilly day with a lot of vertical metres – mostly crammed together inside the last 150 kilometres – the finale is a tricky downhill to Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne.
Supposedly, stage 7 will be a dramatic race. At 133 kilometres, the route takes in 4,150 metres of elevation gain. The final haul up is the Prapoutel-Les-Sept-Laux, which is a fairly unknown climb of 19 kilometres long.
The last stage is even shorter than the previous. The 113.5 kilometres route includes six intermediate climbs before a summit finish on Swiss soil. The final verdict of the 2019 Critérium du Dauphiné is at the end of a rolling uphill section in Champéry.

2247 MURRAY RUN ENDS WITH DEFEAT BY BAUTISTA AGUT
Former world number one Andy Murray’s incredible run in Melbourne ended in the third round as the 35-year-old lost 6-1 6-7(7) 6-3 6-4 to Spain’s Roberto Bautista Agut.
Three-times major winner Murray came into the match on the back of marathon contests in the first two rounds where he knocked out 13th seed Matteo Berrettini and local hope Thanasi Kokkinakis.
“Always playing Andy is very tough,” said Bautista Agut, who will next face Tommy Paul.
“He knows very well how to play a Grand Slam match. I am happy with how I handled the nerves and tension through the match, to play good tennis.”
2223 DJOKOVIC DOWNS DIMITROV
Nine-times champion Novak Djokovic, back in Melbourne after last year’s deportation drama, progressed to the last-16 after a 7-6(7) 6-3 6-4 win over 27th seed Grigor Dimitrov.
The Serbian, who is into the fourth round for the 15th time, will next play Australia’s Alex de Minaur.
“I thought double-break in the third set was going to be enough for me, but he (Dimitrov) was locked in from that moment and up to the very last shot I did not know if I was going to prevail,” Djokovic said in his on-court interview.
“It was an incredible battle, three sets over three hours.”
2119 GARCIA SEALS COMEBACK WIN, SHELTON PROGRESSES
Fourth seed Caroline Garcia, who won the WTA Finals last season, overcame a shaky start to beat Germany’s Laura Siegemund 1-6 6-3 6-3 and reach the fourth round.
American Ben Shelton, 20, reached the last 16 of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career after beating wildcard Alexei Popyrin of Australia 6-3 7-6(4) 6-4.
1800 PAUL, WOLF ADVANCE IN ALL-AMERICAN CLASHES
Tommy Paul moved into the second week with a 6-1 6-4 6-3 victory over Jenson Brooksby to set up a fourth-round match with Bautista Agut.
At the Kia Arena, JJ Wolf beat lucky loser Michael Mmoh 6-4 6-1 6-2 to move into the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time.
1703 DE MINAUR KEEPS AUSTRALIAN FLAG FLYING HIGH
De Minaur beat Benjamin Bonzi 7-6(0) 6-2 6-1 to book his place in the fourth round, where he will play Djokovic.
“I hope everyone that was on this court right now is going to go and support Alexei Popyrin,” De Minaur said.
“That’s all we do. Us Aussies, we stick together. We’ve got a bright future ahead and let’s get ‘Popeye’ to the line today.”
1700 MORE PRESSURE ON RUNE, SAYS RUBLEV
Fifth seed Rublev has turned up the pressure on teenager Holger Rune ahead of their last 16 encounter, saying the teenager is no longer an underdog after his breakout year in 2022 when he cracked the top 10.
“I have nothing to lose against him next time, because he was the one who won our first match (at last year’s Paris Masters). So he will feel a bit of pressure that he would like to win again,” Rublev said.
1620 SABALENKA DISPATCHES MERTENS
Aryna Sabalenka prevented her former doubles partner Elise Mertens from reaching the last 16 for a fourth consecutive year with a dominant 6-2 6-3 win over the Belgian.
Sabalenka, who won the Adelaide International 1 earlier this month and has not dropped a set in 2023, next faces Belinda Bencic.
1600 DENMARK’S RUNE MOVES ON
Ninth seed Holger Rune beat Frenchman Ugo Humbert 6-4 6-2 7-6(5) to move into the last 16 for the first time in Melbourne, where he will face fifth seed Andrey Rublev.
The Danish teenager was trailing in the third set tiebreak after a double fault but clawed his way back to seal progress.
1446 FLAWLESS RUBLEV ADVANCES IN STRAIGHT SETS
Rublev came through a tricky encounter against Dan Evans to win 6-4 6-2 6-3 on Margaret Court Arena after firing 60 winners past the Briton.
Rublev, who did not drop serve, improved as the match wore on and even got a helping hand from Evans, with the Briton giving him a banana during a changeover.
“He helped me with some energy for sure,” Rublev said with a smile.
1430 BENCIC INTO LAST-16
Swiss 12th seed Belinda Bencic eased into the last-16 for the first time since 2016 after a 6-2 7-5 win over Camila Giorgi.
Italian Giorgi broke Bencic to level the second set at 5-5 before the Olympic champion broke back and served out the match.
“I’m happy I got a second chance to serve it out but overall I think it was a great match,” Bencic said.
1230 PLISKOVA PROGRESSES AFTER DOWNING GRACHEVA
Former world number one Karolina Pliskova brushed aside Russia’s Varvara Gracheva 6-4 6-2 to advance to the fourth round.
“It’s the third round of a slam so there’s never an easy match, no matter who is the opponent, no matter the ranking,” said 30th seed Pliskova.
1113 PLAY UNDERWAY AT MELBOURNE PARK
Third-round action began as scheduled on the sixth day of the year’s first Grand Slam.
The weather forecast looks good, with a high of 24 degrees Celsius (75.2 degrees Fahrenheit).

Justin: Hicks can't carry a tune in a bucket?
18/08/2006 12:00:00 AM
(KP International) - Don't expect Justin Timberlake to sing the praises of current American Idol Taylor Hicks especially after JT reportedly insulted the "soul patrol" icon's pipes.
"People think [Hicks] looks so normal and he's so sweet and he's so earnest, but he can't carry a tune in a bucket," Timberlake reportedly confessed to Fashion Rocks magazine.
The 25-year-old singer turned actor also apparently had doubts about Hicks' staying power. "If he has any skeletons whatsoever if, God forbid, he's gay and all these people in Mississippi who voted for him are like 'Oh, my God, I voted for a queer!' It's just too much pressure."
Since the Timberlake quotes have surfaced, his publicist, Ken Sunshine, has set the record straight about the apparent verbal attack. "These comments are taken completely out of context," Sunshine told the Washington Post. "[Justin] only wishes him well."
Timberlake's next solo album FutureSex/LoveSounds is set to hit shelves September 12.

The Ligue 1 returns to the fold after a hectic international break this weekend as Lyon travel to Angers for an important game at the Stade Jean-Bouin on Sunday. Lyon have been fairly inconsistent this season and need a victory in this game.
Angers are currently in ninth place in the Ligue 1 standings and have plenty of work to do to qualify for European football over the next few months. The home side stormed past a disconsolate Nimes outfit by a 5-1 margin in its previous game and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Lyon have effectively recovered from their surprisingly slow start to the season and are unbeaten in their last seven games. The away side is currently in seventh place in the Ligue 1 table and will need to win this game to push into the top four.
Angers vs Lyon Head-to-Head
Lyon have a predictably excellent record against Angers in official fixtures and have won six games out of a total of nine matches played between the two sides. Angers have managed only one victory against Lyon and will need to be at their best in this game.
The previous games between the two sides resulted in an astonishing 6-0 victory for Lyon. Memphis Depay and Moussa Dembele scored two goals apiece on the day and are likely to feature against Angers this weekend.

Angers vs Lyon Prediction
Lyon have an exceptional record against Angers and should be able to make a statement in this game. The likes of Memphis Depay and Houssem Aouar are yet to hit their peak this season and need to take it up a notch this weekend.
Angers will take plenty of heart from their victory against Nimes and will have to put in a similar performance to stand a chance on Sunday. Lyon are the better team on paper and should be able to take all three points away from this game.
Prediction: Angers 1-2 Lyon

Meet new APA | SD member and San Diego based photographer, Rich Soublet.
Do you have a favorite podcast?
The one I’m on! Kidding. I’ve gotta go with Armchair Expert. Dax and Monica are great interviewers and always have interesting guests.
What 3 words describe your photography style?
Authentic. Purposeful. Emotive.
What inspires you?
That’s a big question. I draw inspiration from a lot of places. I’ve always had a very vivid imagination so books are actually a great source of inspiration for me. Movies as well.
People inspire me. How we are able to thrive, often in spite of ourselves and the world around us, gives me a lot to think about and draw on when making images.
What’s your favorite thing about being a photographer?
Meeting new people and getting a chance to listen to their story. Using their story to tell a new one visually. I guess I could have just stories.
When you aren’t making photographs, what other pastimes do you have?
I’ve been a gamer since before there was a word for it. Video games, card games, board games… you name it. Really I like to play in general. It’s something I’ve always held close as being vital to a full life.
You can also catch me fawning over dogs and cats and every other animal I come across.
When the weather permits I like to strap a piece of wood/fiber to my feet and slide down snow covered mountains… doesn’t it sound a bit crazy when you describe it like that?

This invention relates to polyether resin compositions, a process for preparation thereof, coating compositions containing said polyether resins, a coating process employing said compositions and cured films obtained by use of these compositions.
European patent specification 3166 discloses a process in which a glycidyl ester of a mixture of C9-11 branched aliphatic acids was reacted at 100° C. with trimethylolpropane (hereinafter "TMP") in a glycidyl/primary hydroxyl group equivalent ratio of 2:3, in the presence of 0.5% wt based on glycidyl ester, of a boron trifluoride etherate etherification catalyst. However, side reactions between the alcohols, the glycidyl ester, and secondary hydroxyl groups take place in the presence of this boron trifluoride etherate catalyst. With gel permeation chromatography (GPC), the product using the process in the European patent specification has been found to contain several side products. These products are dark colored and contain a high number of compounds in which only one primary hydroxyl group has reacted and a high number of compounds in which all three primary hydroxyl groups have reacted, which is reflected in a combination of relatively high average molecular weight and a broad molecular weight distribution. These products have been found to be less suitable for coating applications because of the undesirable phenomenon of cratering.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a process for preparing polyether resins suitable for coating applications. It is another object of the invention to provide a coating free of cratering. It is another object of the invention to provide polyether films which have very good properties suitable for general industrial stoving applications.
According to the invention, a process for the preparation of a polyether resin having an epoxy group content of less than 0.2 meq/g and containing on average from n/3-0.5 to n/3+2.5 primary hydroxyl groups is provided, the process including contacting a glycidyl ester of a C9-11 branched aliphatic acid with an aliphatic primary polyhydric alcohol having n primary groups and 5 to 16 carbon atoms in which n is a value from 3 to 6, in the presence of tin, zinc or iron etherification catalyst.
In order to provide resin systems that are suitable for coating applications, it has been found that polyether resins can be prepared thathave improved color and narrow molecular weight distribution, and are essentially free from unreacted primary alcohol starting materials and substantially free from unconverted epoxy groups. Accordingly, the presentinvention provides a process for the preparation of a polyether resin having an epoxy group content of less than 0.2 meq/g and containing on average from n/3-0.5 to n/3+2.5 primary hydroxyl groups, by allowing a glycidyl ester of a C9-11 branched aliphatic acid to react with an aliphatic primary polyhydric alcohol having n primary groups and 5 to 16 carbon atoms in which n is a value from 3 to 6, in the presence of an etherification catalyst in which is a tin, zinc or iron compound.
In a preferred embodiment, the relative amount of starting material is suchthat the resin contains essentially no free reactants. The preferred relative amounts as expressed by the mole ratio of glycidyl ester to alcohol are within the ranges of about 1:0.4 to 1:2.0 when n is 3; about 1:0.45 to 1:0.7 when n is 4; about 1:0.45 to 1:0.65 when n is 5; and about1:0.4 to 1:0.6 when n is 6. Accordingly, sufficient primary hydroxyl groupswill remain in the final product to ensure that the latter provides for adequate performance in curing.
Surprisingly, it was found that by properly choosing an etherification catalyst, resins were obtained which displayed low cratering in the cured resin. It is believed that the catalysts employed in this invention process selectively support the reaction of the glycidyl ester with a primary hydroxyl group, thereby avoiding unwanted reactions between alcohols, between glycidyl esters, or between glycidyl esters and secondary hydroxyl groups. In contrast to a resin prepared by boron trifluoride etherate catalyst, the process of this invention leads to selective production of derivatives in which the proportion of the converted primary hydroxyl groups can be set at predetermined values. These values are preferably 2 when converting trihydric alcohols, 3 for tetrahydric alcohols and 3 or 4 for pentahydric or hexahydric alcohols.
Suitable examples of etherification catalysts include halides, and salts ofalkanoic and naphtenic acids, particularly those having in the range from 2to 30 carbon atoms per molecule. Suitable catalysts include tin, zinc, or iron salts such as tin, zinc or iron chlorides, tin or zinc alkanoates, dibutyltin dialkanoates and iron salts of naphtenic acids. Preferred catalysts are tin(II)octoate, tin dichloride, dibutyltin dilaurate and tintetrachloride, the former being most preferred.
The catalyst may be employed at relatively low amounts and low reaction temperatures. Thus, addition of about 0.01 to 0.4% m/m of catalyst while heating the reaction mixture to a temperature in the range from about 100° to 200° C. is adequate. Particularly suitable amounts of catalyst range from about 0.03 to 0.35% m/m, most suitably from about 0.05 to 0.2% m/m. The reaction may conveniently be carried out at a temperature in the range of about 115° to 190° C., preferably from about 130° to 175° C.
The aliphatic primary tri-to hexahydric alcohol to be reacted contains three to six primary hydroxyl groups (i.e., HOCH2 --), optionally oneor more ether links, and preferably no other secondary (HOCH--) or tertiary(HOC--) hydroxyl groups. Suitable compounds are any of the isomers corresponding to tri(hydroxymethyl)ethane, --propane, --butane, --pentane, --hexane, --heptane, --octane, and --nonane; tetra(hydroxymethyl)methane, --ethane, --propane, --butane, --pentane, --hexane, --heptane, and --octane; penta(hydroxymethyl)--ethane, --propane, --butane, --pentane, --hexane, and --heptane; and hexa(hydroxymethyl)ethane, --propane, --butane, --pentane, and --hexane. Also suitable are the dimers or ethylene oxide modified derivatives of the compounds above, however, with the proviso that the total amount of primary hydroxyl groups is from 4 to 6, and the total amount of carbon atoms is from 5 to 16. The aliphatic tri- to hexahydric primary alcohol in this application also includes aliphatic alcohols having one or more non-conjugated unsaturated links.
In a preferred embodiment, the aliphatic primary alcohol is TMP or the dimer of TMP (DTMP). The most preferred aliphatic primary alcohol is TMP, melting at 58° C. and being a solvent for the relevant glycidyl ester reactant.
The polyether resins are suitable for use in high-performance automotive high solids topcoats. Attractive cross-linking resins in this respect are for example those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,755,583, which are incorporated herein by way of reference. Particularly suitable cross-linking agents are the amino-plast-type resins, such as alkoxylated reaction products of formaldehyde with melamine or benzoguanamide. Other suitable cross-linking agents include urea-aldehyde resins, phenol-aldehyde resins, and blocked polyisocyanates. Suitable catalysts which may be employed in the curable coating compositions are acids such as orthophosphoric acid or p-toluenesulphonic acid. For example, these catalysts may be used in an amount in the range of from about 0.05 to 2% by weight calculated on polyether and cross-linking resin. The relative proportions of polyether resin and curing agent are those generally employed in the curable binders, typically of from about 5 to 50% by weight, calculated on the total of polyether resin and cross-linking resin.
The curable coating composition can be applied by a variety of known methods such as by spraying, dipping or roller coating. The coatings can be hardened by stoving, for example at temperatures ranging from about 100° to 300° C., with curing temperatures varying from about10 seconds to 30 minutes.
The polyether resins of this invention are primarily intended to be employed in surface coatings. Other applications such as in laminates or castings are also possible. The resins may be blended with conventional solvents such as aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons. Pigments, fillers, dispersing agents and other components known for coating formulations may be added to the curable binder system comprising the polyethers made in accordance with the process of this invention.
The invention will be further understood from the following examples.
The experiment was carried out in a 1 liter glass reactor equipped with a stainless steel stirrer, nitrogen inlet, heating mantle, a thermocouple and a reflux condensor.
First, 1 mole TMP and 2 mole CARDURA E10 (a mixture of C9-11 branched aliphatic acids, hereinafter "CE10", registered trademark) were charged into the reactor and homogenized by gradually increasing the temperature. When the system was homogenized, normally at about 100° C., a catalyst was added. Then, the reactor was heated to the desired reaction temperature. The reaction was followed by withdrawing samples at regular intervals and determining the decreasing epoxy group content (EGC) value. The reaction was stopped by cooling. Experimental data are summarized in Table 1.
The resins prepared with tin(II)octoate and boron trifluoride etherate werefurther evaluated in lacquer formulations of the following compositions:

You might not need a degree to operate one, but a surprising amount of tech is packed into your average portable spa. To ensure you’re looking after yours properly, it’s a good idea to ask, “how does an inflatable hot tub work?”.
We’ve been lucky enough to try and see which is the best portable spa over the last ten years, so it’s safe to say we’re experts on how these things operate.
Inflatable hot tubs work by using an electric pump to inflate their shells, control their heating systems and power their jets. This pump must be plugged into a power supply and will have a digital control panel used to adjust the water temperature and engage the air or water jets. They also have water filtration units and rely on chemical sanitisers to keep their water clean.
How Do Inflatable Hot Tubs Heat up?
Inflatable hot tubs use electrical resistance heaters to produce warm water. These systems feature an element coil which converts electrical energy into heat, the hot tub’s water is then moved past the coil by the pump and warmed before circulating back into the spa’s main body.
Some brands use a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heating element, in which the resistance of the system increases along with the temperature. These self-regulating heaters use less energy the hotter they get, so they’re particularly energy-efficient.
There are also a few hot tub manufacturers that use dual-operated pumps, allowing for their heaters and massage systems to be powered at the same time. This means you can have heated bubble jets, though not all portable hot tubs are equipped with this function!
What Do You Need For An Inflatable Hot Tub?
An inflatable hot tub needs to be connected to a mains electrical supply to power its pump and, in turn, its heater and jets. All modern models come with a power cable which must be plugged in away from any water, and an RCD unit which will cut the power in the event of an electrical fault.
Spa manufacturers advise against using extension cables with their hot tubs, as they can increase the risk of electrical faults and fires, so you must have a covered plug socket within 5m from where you intend to install your hot tub.
A level surface
A portable spa will only work correctly on a level surface that isn’t raised off the ground, as the weight of a filled spa can be upwards of 1500kg, which can easily cause decking or raised pavers to collapse.
The ground must be level as if the hot tub’s weight isn’t evenly distributed; cracks and tears can form in the shell. An uneven water line can also stop the jets from functioning correctly and make draining your hot tub unnecessarily difficult.
Pool chemicals and filters
The water in a portable spa must be constantly filtered and treated to prevent harmful bacteria and slimes from taking hold.

- Algae spores
- Dirt and debris
All will be introduced into the water as you bathe, which can cause serious damage to the pipes and pump (and even illness!) if left unchecked. To prevent this, you’ll need to regularly sanitise the water using pool chemicals (chlorine or bromine) and clean/replace your hot tub’s filter cartridges.
Pool chemicals and replacement filters can be purchased from any reputable hot tub manufacturer, and you should always have a supply of each on hand!
Where Can You Use It?
Commonly, inflatable hot tubs will be installed outdoors on a flat patio or concrete surface. Popping a shelter above is also a good idea to protect the pump from rainfall and prevent debris from entering the water.
People often want to know, how long can an inflatable hot tub last as this helps them decide where to place their tub. Inflatable hot tubs can be set up indoors, be that inside your home or in a summerhouse or garden room, though there are a few precautions, you’ll have to take to do this safely, such as:
- Installing ventilation
- Treating the room with a moisture-resistant seal
- Ensuring there are utility hookups
So, that’s all you need to know about how an inflatable hot tub works. Some of their systems may sound a little complicated, but understanding the basics will allow you to operate yours safely and prevent any accidental damages in the future!
You’ll need an electrical hookup, a suitable level surface and appropriate chemicals and filters to run your portable spa correctly. As long as you keep everything clean and covered, your spa should remain in working order for many years. If you want to know, where can I buy an inflatable hot tub? Take a look at this handy guide for options on where to purchase a spa.

Children of both sexes are indifferent to genitals. They may be mildly curious but they consider genitals to be ugly and smelly parts of the body. At puberty, the increase in male responsiveness causes young men to be fascinated by genitals. For women the connotations from childhood continue into adulthood because women are not responsive as men are.
We say that a woman is sexy if she is attractive to men. It means that a man is aroused by her body or her behaviour. If a man compliments her, it is an opening for a woman to indicate her sexual amenability. A man isn’t sexy in the same way. As the initiator, he is assumed to be interested in having sex. Women provide turn-ons to obtain a man’s sexual interest or, more often, simply to enjoy being admired. Intercourse relies entirely on male arousal. Women do not need to be aroused to participate in intercourse and so their arousal plays no role in sexual relationships. There is no reason why a woman would be aroused by a penis. A man doesn’t have an instinctive interest in the clitoris either. His instincts motivate him to stimulate the vagina. He stimulates the clitoris because of the information he has been given, which implies that orgasm results from clitoral stimulation of any kind.
When a woman is taken by surprise by a strange man (a flasher) displaying his penis, she screams and runs away. This is clear evidence that women are not aroused by a penis. Women consider genitals of either sex to be ugly, hairy and smelly. They are clearly not erotically aroused by them. Yet some women insist against all logic that they are aroused by anatomy as men are. Female arousal serves no useful purpose with a lover. The purpose of male arousal is to make penetration possible. But a woman is never a penetrator.
Most heterosexual men would be interested in observing naked women if they could do so undetected. Men and women use different toilets because women feel uncomfortable thinking that a man might be masturbating himself while watching her relieve herself. Men who spy on women are called Peeping Toms. There is no female equivalent. Women consider this behaviour perverted. Women may be mildly curious to see male nudity if they feel safe from male advances. Men can enjoy watching a woman urinate because of the view of her genitals, which excites them because of the possibility of intercourse. Women are not easy to get into bed but male interest is often guaranteed. A woman has other criteria for choosing a lover.
With a lover, a woman has to engage on explicit genital stimulation with a fully conscious and unaroused mind. A woman experiences no mental arousal with a lover so such situations are social rather than erotic. There is no attraction for her in doing so. She feels the reverse. If she wants to pleasure a partner, a woman does so against her natural instincts. Apart from a woman’s desire to share intimacy (love for a partner), there is no reason why she should please her lover any more than a complete stranger.
Most women are embarrassed to name their genitals and sexual anatomy, often considering them to be dirty. Many women prefer to use an applicator to insert a tampon rather than a finger, to avoid having to touch their genitals. During childbirth a woman’s skin can tear from the vagina to the anus. Because of embarrassment women often fail to ensure that these tears are dealt with properly and that they heal satisfactorily. Older women often suffer from bowel and bladder incontinence as a result of childbirth damage. Not only are they too embarrassed to ask a lover to look for them but they are not even motivated to use a mirror to look at their own genitals. This aversion to genitals is inbuilt and not the result of upbringing or attitudes.
Men refer to the honeypot to reflect their enjoyment of the pleasure a vagina can provide. Women don’t have similar terms of endearment for the penis. It is sometimes called the one-eyed snake because of the opening to the urethra (where urine comes out) in the centre of the glans. Male lovers of men describe fellatio and male ejaculation enthusiastically in graphic terms. Women are repulsed rather than attracted to body function (noises and smells) as men are. Gay men use rimming, stimulating a lover’s anus with the tongue. Deep rimming involves inserting the tongue deep into a lover’s anus. Filching involves ejaculating into a lover’s rectum followed by sucking out and swallowing the semen. Women do not talk of equivalent turn-ons.
Men enjoy talking about pussy juices. Others are turned-on by the idea of a woman urinating. This may be where the male fantasy of female ejaculation comes from. Women are not similarly fascinated by a man’s ejaculation. After intercourse, a man’s ejaculate flows out of the woman’s vagina leaving a wet and sticky patch on the woman’s side of the bed. This is because it is typically the man who moves and puts himself on top of her. A woman has to run to the bathroom (cupping her hand to catch any drips) to wash her genitals. She takes no delight in this. It is merely a distasteful inconvenience.
Men are not aroused by breasts if they are nudists or live in cultures where women never cover their breasts. But when women cover their breasts, men come to associate them with sexual opportunities. Straight men can enjoy lesbian sex play because they are aroused by female nudity. If women were aroused as men are, they would comment openly on their appreciation of male nudity and create demand for images of male nudity rather than being offended by them. Male homosexual porn would be freely distributed. Men would also display their sexual attributes for women to enjoy as a turn-on. Men cover up much more than women do because women dislike nudity.
But in all this quantity of pornographic production it is exceedingly difficult to find any material that has been produced by females. (Alfred Kinsey)

I mentioned before that our pre-school is working on a Great Artists unit. There is a curriculum already in place, but I am kind of feeling the need to veer of the beaten path. We'll see how it goes, but I do like the what my kiddos have produced so far.
Inspired by Georgia O'Keefe's flower paintings, especially my favorite, the poppy.
A photo I took in Connecticut last June.
Poppy, by Georgia O'Keefe

My 2-year olds made a marble painting the other day.
I think it looks like Alpha-Pi, by color-field painter Morris Louis.

The university town Goettingen has not been particularly kind to its architectural heritage in recent years, but now it seems to want to make amends. A block of several old buildings has been restored in downtown Goettingen. The separate courtyards were joined together and covered with a steel and glass roof to form a new market hall, proof that there’s a lot to learn from the past when planning for the future. Hagemeyer & Partner, Architects modeled their design for the supporting construction on historical structures from the 19th century. The market, as a concession to the climate of northern Germany, takes place under the shelter and protection of a transparent glass roof. The ground floor is completely given over to selling space, the first floor is intended for use as restaurants and offices.
