Home, home again I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired,
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field the tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells. Pink Floyd

The world around inspires nothing than profound disgust and labors the desire to run away without claiming any share of fake belonging that is insinuated by the News headlines and by reality shows.
We long to return to our forefathers home where the ancestors once lived protected by angels wings. We look to find that peculiar morality witch turned life in holly. We search the feeling of belonging, as compulsive as the embrace of mild addictions; that something that transcends and yet contains life. We cannot live far from eternity.

Let's build a house of fire, baby
Not one of wood or stone
Walk through my door of desire, baby
Come on in and make it your home
Don't need a window to watch you, baby
Don't need no roof overhead
Don't need no key to unlock ya, baby
I'll use my lovin' instead A. Cooper ]]>

Hospital managers at Gloucestershire NHS Trust (in 2001) and the catering staff at Flintshire County Council (in 2009) renamed the pudding Spotted Richard on menus because of the use of the word dick in the original name, a common dysphemism for male genitalia in the English language.

The person who doesnt have the pain often finds it difficult to understand what his or her partner is experiencing. The negative effects that pain has been causing in a couples sex life can sometimes spill over into other aspects of the relationship.

Good communication is critical. Otherwise, one partner may mistakenly interpret a reluctance to engage in sexual activity as an excuse for not wanting to be close, which can lead to feelings of rejection and resentment.

To reduce the tension, try to create an atmosphere in which neither partner will feel rushed. Be patient with each other. Many therapists suggest setting the stage with a gentle massage, a hot bath or shower, or the application of a pain cream - any of which can relax the muscles and ease pain. Even under the best of circumstances, back pain may occur during sex. Knowing this, couples should plan how theyll respond ahead of time, so they can avoid becoming angry or frustrated.

Positions and approaches

For people with lower back pain there may be a preference either for bending forward, or standing straight / bending backwards.

Bending backwards/standing straight. For some people with degenerative disc disease or a disc herniation, standing up straight or bending backwards tends to feel better, and bending forward tends to make the pain worse. These people are usually most comfortable when the spine is straightened or bent backward slightly (basically stand more upright, not slouched). Bending backwards is called extension.
Bending forwards. For some people with spinal stenosis, they feel better when they bend forward, and worse when they stand more upright. People with spinal stenosis may resist standing upright and may slouch or tip their shoulders forward to feel more comfortable. Bending forward is called flexion.

These differences must be taken into account when deciding which sexual positions might work best.

As a rule, the partner with lower back pain should take a passive role in lovemaking, with the other partner introducing stimulation in a very relaxed manner. Just remember to take it slow. And identify as specifically as possible which movements are comfortable and which ones hurt and should be avoided. ]]> Understandably, the limitations brought about by back pain may produce stress that can damage a relationship.

A viable embryo, probably using stem cells or other cells taken from the man, could be available for implantation in the woman's uterus within 18 months, said Dr. Panayiotis Zavos of The Andrology Institute of America and the Kentucky Center for Reproductive Medicine and Invitro Fertilization in Lexington, Kentucky.

Zavos, a 25-year veteran in the reproductive field, hosted a conference on Thursday in Lexington where he and Italian fertility doctor Severino Antinori announced plans for the scientific coalition to clone humans.

``This is going to be the first serious effort,'' Zavos said in a telephone interview. ``I do know various individual groups that are acting on their own, but they lack the support.''
Scientists have cloned sheep, beginning with ``Dolly'' in Scotland in 1997, as well as mice and cows, but any suggestions that human clones are next have been met by outrage within the scientific community and in political and religious circles.

``As revolutionary as it may sound, as fictional as it may sound, it will be done. It's a genie that is out of the bottle and will be controlled,'' Zavos said.

He said 10 infertile couples have volunteered to participate, including an American pair who cannot conceive because the man's testicles were severed in an accident.

Zavos said his group would hold a conference in Rome in March, to which a cardinal from the Vatican would be invited. The Roman Catholic Church is opposed to human cloning. The consortium would operate in an unnamed Mediterranean country.

The scientists plan to use regular cells or undifferentiated stem cells from the husband and insert them into an ovacyte, a woman's egg stripped of its genetic material. The cell would be stimulated to divide and create an embryo equipped with all the specialty cells that make up a copy of the man, and then implanted in the wife's uterus.

The wives could also be the ones cloned, depending on the couple's choice, he said.

``We have a great deal of knowledge. We can grade embryos, we can do genetic screening, we can do quality control,'' Zavos said.

``It's not the easiest thing. The stability of the genetic information is what's important. We're cloning a human being now, we're not trying to create a Dolly. You don't want to create a monster,'' he said.

To create animal clones, scientists frequently made hundreds of failed attempts to develop viable embryos. Medical ethicists have posed the possibility of cruel failures in human cloning, where genetic abnormalities result in grotesque fetuses unable to survive outside the womb.

Antinori has sparked a furor in Italy by helping post-menopausal women become ``granny moms,'' and has also pioneered a technique to help sterile men by ``cultivating'' their nascent sperm cells inside the testicles of mice. ]]>

THE PERFECT OMELET TIPS
An omelet is a combination of beaten egg cooked with butter or oil in a frying pan, usually folded around a filling such as cheese, vegetables, meat (often ham), or some combination of the above. Traditionally, omelets are partially cooked on the top side and not flipped prior to folding. To obtain a fluffy texture, whole eggs or egg whites are usually beaten with a small amount of milk or cream, or even water. Below is my favorite omelet recipe.

One flash of light that shows the way,
No mortal man can win this day. (It's a kind of magic)
The bell that rings inside your mind,
It's challenging the doors of time.

Omelet Ingredients (serves 1)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbs milk or water
- The fillings of your choice (I like to use 50g mushrooms, thinly sliced; 1 rasher bacon or ham, finely chopped; 1/2 tomato, finely chopped and a small amount of red bell pepper and onion)
- Salt & freshly ground pepper
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 5g butter
- 1/4 cup grated cheddar

The waiting seems eternity, yeah,
The day will dawn of sanity.
Is this a kind of magic?
There can be only one.
This race that lasts a thousand years, will soon be
done.

Step 1
Use a fork to whisk eggs and milk together. Season well with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat oil in a small (16cm base) non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Add onion, red pepper, mushrooms and bacon or ham. Cook for 3 mins or until mushrooms soften. Stir in tomato. Cook 1 min. Remove from pan and set aside. Wipe pan with paper towel.
Step 3
Melt 5g butter in the frying pan over medium-high heat. Add eggs to the pan. Use a fork to quickly draw the cooked egg back from edge of pan to allow uncooked egg to run to the edge. Continue until egg is almost set. Cook for a further 30-45 seconds or until egg is just set.
Step 4
Spoon mushroom mixture over half the omelet. Sprinkle over cheese. Use a fork to lift one side of the omelet over to enclose filling. Carefully slide onto serving plate.
Step 5
Serve immediately with salad.

This race that lasts a thousand years, will soon be,
will soon be, will soon be done.

Your Life is Largely Irrelevant

When you step back thousands of years at a time, and look upon all those countless people who lived, struggled, and died on this earth, who appeared and disappeared in the blink of a cosmic eye, the comings and goings of any particular person or group of people seem as the comings and goings of the smallest germ colonies in the farthest jungles surely seems to you completely and utterly meaningless.

Your Life is Largely Irrelevant

When you step back thousands of years at a time, and look upon all those countless people who lived, struggled, and died on this earth, who appeared and disappeared in the blink of a cosmic eye, the comings and goings of any particular person or group of people seem as the comings and goings of the smallest germ colonies in the farthest jungles surely seems to you completely and utterly meaningless.

I thought that everything else would just wait
While you are wasting your time on your enemies
Engulfed in a fever of spite
Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades
Like shadows into the night

To martyr yourself to caution
Is not going to help at all
Because there'll be no safety in numbers
When the Right One walks out of the door

Can you see your days blighted by darkness?
Is it true you beat your fists on the floor?
Stuck in a world of isolation
While the ivy grows over the door

So I open my door to my enemies
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean
But they tell me to please go fuck myself
You know you just can't win

When working with horses which are young and inexperienced, gentling an adopted wild horse or working with a horse who displays behavior problems, it is of utmost importance to use the right equipment. Even with well broke horses, using the right equipment makes handling horses safer, more predictable and easier on both horse and handler. This information sheet is devoted to discussing rope halters.

A halter can have a great deal more purpose than merely attaching a horse to a rope. It is a primary means of communicating with the horse when handling him from the ground. Yet, I see time and again people using web or leather halters, padding them so that they will be comfy, then running for a stud chain when they want the horse to do anything. There IS a better way!

Let's consider the purpose of any device which we use on a horse:
-It needs to convey a message.
-That message needs to be clear and not include a bunch of "background noise".
-It needs to be safe for both horse and handler
-It needs to be both durable and reliable

TRAINING WITH THE HALTER

Here is a brief overview of some principal training uses for the halter:

-Backing the horse down the leadrope - This drill is of immense importance since it is one of the few ways you can keep your horse from crowding you when leading him, especially when he gets nervous. The contact of the rope halter is "clear" enough that with some simple training, just a light shake of the leadrope will cause the horse to give you the separation you need for safety.

Bending and suppling - The position of the knot makes it very desirable on the part of the horse to bend to you when you ask, which is not only important for getting the horses neck and shoulders "unlocked", but also for teaching disengagement (a real important safety issue).

Following on cue - When teaching your horse to "walk up" or "step up" when you ask, the double strand behind the poll makes good and clear contact so that your horse should respond to you when you issue a "light" request.

Tying - Particularly with young horses and ingrained halter pullers, you need to set up a situation where the horse can pull and not liberate himself, thereby reinforcing the bad habit, yet not hurt himself. The rope halter has no metal parts to break or cut the horse, if made with the proper materials, it will resist "burning" the horse, and when PROPERLY TIED (key point here!) the horse should be able to pull and not hurt himself. (You need to know what you are doing when dealing with chronic halter pullers, but you also need the right equipment!)

Her step now she directs
Toward a window; at its nook

And leads the blackish, loaded ships
On the wet, moving, ways.

Her soul her instincts spur;
And as he looks at her for weeks
He falls in love with her.

Her temple and her whim
She feels in her heart and soul that

And ev'ry night his stormy flames
More stormily renew
When in the shadow of the castle
She shows to his bright view.

Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on now
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.

While walking my dog Romeo on Haifa's (Israel) beach few evenings ago I bumped into this message to Juliet in Verona, Italy. As nobody looked, I opened the bottle with the hope to find a treasure map. I was quite surprised to see that the letter is written in Korean. I would really appreciate if somebody could translate it.

It is normal to gather at home lots of stuff that you dont need any more. Things that waste otherwise useful space. You stumble on them while walking around and this may hurt your. Then one day you throw them away altogether.

And you didn't like school, and you
know you're nobody's fool,

An elevator speech is a short summary used to quickly and simply define a product, service, or organization and its value proposition. The name "elevator speech" reflects the idea that it should be possible to deliver the summary in the time span of an elevator ride, or approximately thirty seconds to two minutes.
An elevator speech is often used by an entrepreneur pitching an idea to a venture capitalist or angel investor to receive funding. Venture capitalists often judge the quality of an idea by the quality of its elevator speech and will ask entrepreneurs for their elevator speeches in order to quickly weed out bad ideas and weak teams.

Moses is out in the wilderness, and he sees a bush that is burning, but not burning up. That gets his attention. Then he hears the voice of God, and Gods elevator speech: I am the God of your fathers, of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob.Ive heard the outcry of My people, and Ive come down to save them from the Egyptians.and Im sending you (Moses) to Pharoah to free My people (Ex 3:6-11) After turning down the job a few times, Moses then basically says, Who shall I say is calling? And here comes Gods verb-al introduction: God says, Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh. Even the Jewish Publication Society translation doesnt know what to do with this, so they just wrote transliterated Hebrew, but its something like, I will be that which I will be. For the first time, God actually has a name besides the one everyone else has been using, and its one that God creates for Gods-self. ]]> Where have you been?

There are two kinds of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is essentially a duplication process: It produces two genetically identical "daughter" cells from a single "parent" cell. You grew from a single embryonic cell to the person you are now through mitosis. Even after you are grown, mitosis replaces cells lost through everyday wear and tear.
Meiosis, on the other hand, is quite different. It shuffles the genetic deck, generating daughter cells that are distinct from one another and from the original parent cell. Although virtually all of your cells can undergo mitosis, only a few special cells are capable of meiosis: those that will become eggs in females and sperm in males. So, basically, mitosis is for growth and maintenance, while meiosis is for sexual reproduction. ]]> Many questions around prime numbers remain open, such as Goldbach's conjecture, which asserts that every even integer greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two primes, and the twin prime conjecture, which says that there are infinitely many pairs of primes whose difference is 2.

Why boycott Shell?
Since the Nigerian government hanged 9 environmental activists in 1995 for speaking out against exploitation by Royal Dutch/Shell and the Nigeria government, outrage has exploded worldwide. The tribunal which convicted the men was part of a joint effort by the government and Shell to suppress a growing movement among the Ogoni people: a movement for environmental justice, for recognition of their human rights and for economic justice. Shell has brought extreme, irreparable environmental devastation to Ogoniland.

Infectious agents cause most shellfish-associated illness. Hepatitis A, Norwalk virus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Vibrio vulnificus all have been transmitted through shellfish ingestion. At least 4 distinct shellfish-poisoning syndromes have been identified, as follows:
Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP)
Neurologic shellfish poisoning (NSP)
Diarrheal shellfish poisoning (DSP)
Amnestic shellfish poisoning (ASP)
All 4 syndromes share some common features and primarily are associated with bivalve mollusks (eg, mussels, clams, oysters, scallops). These shellfish are filter feeders and, therefore, accumulate toxins produced by microscopic algae in the form of dinoflagellates and diatoms. ]]>

And climb the canopy;
It lived when still unknown to eyes,
We see what ceased to be.

Dies into the deepest night:
Extinct its flame, still glows above
And haunts us with its light.

When your guy is on top during simultaneous oral sex, try pleasing him without taking his entire shaft in your mouth. Lick and kiss the head of his penis, or run your tongue up and down the length of the shaft paying special attention to the supersensitive frenulum -- the thin ridge on the underside of the penis.

And how many ears must one man have,
before he can hear people cry ?

You'll launch his libido into the stratosphere if you use your hands to massage his testicles and perineum -- the nerve-packed patch of skin between his balls and his back door -- in conjunction with your mouth moves.

And how many deaths will it take till we know,
that too many people have died?

You could also have your man hover over you on all fours -- with his knees by your ears -- instead of lying directly on top, which will give you more room to roam his hot spots.

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.

Although your guy likes to be on top, there are other 69 positions that can be just as mutually satisfying. Why not switch to the woman-on-top pose?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.

The pleasure plus for you is being able to control the intensity of oral pressure against your clitoris by how hard you press against him. Or, try the side-by-side configuration: Lie on your sides, with your mouths directly in front of each other's genitals. Bend your top legs at the knee and put your feet flat on the mattress. ]]> before he sees the sky?

Coca-Cola's operations have particularly been blamed for exacerbating water shortages in regions that suffer from a lack of water resources and rainfall. Nowhere has this been better documented than in India, where there are now community campaigns against the company in several states. research carried out by War on Want in the Indian states of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh affirms the findings from Kerala and Maharastra that Coca-Cola's activities are having a serious negative impact on farmers and local communities.

Coca-Cola and other large businesses are indirectly benefiting from the use of child labor in sugarcane fields in El Salvador, according to a new report released here Thursday by Human Rights Watch (HRW) which is calling on the company to take more responsibility to ensure that such abuses are halted.
From 5,000 to 30,000 Salvadoran children, some as young as eight years old, are working in El Salvador's sugarcane plantations where injuries, particularly severe cuts, are common, according to the report, 'Turning a Blind Eye: Hazardous Labor in El Salvador's Sugarcane Cultivation.'

To control the soft drinks market in Mexico, Coca-Cola has shown repeatedly it will break the law. The Angel Alvarado Agüero case, currently in the Mexican courts, describes how this former marketing executive of Coca-Cola was unjustifiably dismissed when he refused to carry out illegal monopolistic marketing practices as directed by the Company. This case also highlights how The Coca-Cola Co. is cheating Mexican workers out of hundreds of millions of dollars in profit sharing and other benefits and shortchanging the Mexican government out of millions of dollars in tax revenues.

In China: Based on undercover investigations at several Coke plants, Chinese press reported in December 2008 that Coke employees are "involved in the most dangerous, intense and tiresome labor, work the longest hours, but receive the lowest wages and face arrears and even cutbacks in their pay." One investigator claimed that Coke violated Chinese labor laws and reported that workers "often worked 12 hours per day for an entire month without a single day off." BBC News (5/21/07) reported that Coca-Cola has been accused of benefiting from prison labor in China. ]]>

L (narrating): I started here, at the arch diasces of New York. I just walked in the door and started asking questions. Without much effort, I was given an interview with Father Ike Mcreedy, spokesperson for the arch diasces.

L: Uh, so.. what is the Catholic church? What are you all about?

Father: Okay. The Catholic church is an ancient, worldwide organization dedicated to the constant goal of fucking young boys.

L : Really?

Father: Sure.

L: Wow.

Father: I thought everybody knew that...

L: I thought that the point of the church was to worship God, and the boy fucking was incidental.

Father: No, it's just the other way around. The point of the church is the boy fucking. All the other stuff is just busywork.

L: Okay, so.. how does it work?

Father: Well, you stick your dick up their ass..

L: No, no.. I mean, as an organization.. why do you need a whole church just to do... that.

Father: .. You see, you can't just go around fucking boys in the street. People get mad. So what we do is build churches around the world, and tell people that they have to pray and give us their money, while they'll go straight to hell. Now that gives us the authority and the gravitas to control their lives, and most importantly, to give us their boys. So we can educate them, feel them, and ultimately fuck them in their ass and face. And it's tax deductible.

L (narrating): I was very surprised to find out that the Catholic church exists solely for the purpose of boy rape. But as I did some research, I found out that it's true! I contacted the Vatican for verification, and received this statement from the pope himself.

L (reading note): "We at the Catholic church fuck boys all day long. That's all we ever do. Signed, the Pope."

L (narrating): I learned that the catholic church is funded by a simple grassroots system. People come to the church, they give money, and that money is collected all over the world to finance the Catholic legal defense fund, and to buy millions of cans of Crisco.

L (narrating): Father Mccreedy shows me how the catholic church is constantly refining their boy fuck techniques.

L: So what are all these people doing?

F: THis is the situation room. This is where we keep track of all the molestant priests all around the world, and move them from place to place so they won't get caught.

Worker: Father Geegan, you are free to ass rape a male child in sector 649, good day.

L: Is there a reason why you do this?

F: Purity.

L: Purity?

F: You see, the boys come to us, and they are pure. We fuck the boys, and take the purity into ourselves. And then the next time we defecate, we create what's called a "Purity Brick".

L: A Purity Brick? What do you do with all these bricks?

F: We bring it to this paper plant. Crush them into mulch, and that's how we make bibles.

L: So you're telling me that all Catholic bibles are printed on paper are made from shit of priests who fuck kids in the ass?

F: That's it in a nutshell. Yes!

L: Wow, that is so interesting.

F: Well, the lord moves in mysterious ways.

L: So are there any boys that you guys have not fucked?

F: Were you raised Catholic?

L: Yes.

F: And were you fucked by a priest when you were a boy?

L: No, I don't think so.. Wait. No wait, I was. I guess I was!

F: We're very thorough.

L: Hehh, yeahh... Let me ask you one more question.

F: Shoot.

Get to know your pink parts. Experts say it will improve your health and help you have better sex. So don't be shy.

How well do you know your vagina?
Take our quiz at WomensHealthMag.com/Vagina.

PRIVATE INVESTIGATION
To start, let's clear up one of the biggest misconceptions about the vagina. It's not the entire genital area. If you're standing naked in front of a full-length mirror, you're actually seeing your vulva, the exterior portion of your privates, which was covered in hair before your aesthetician went hog wild with the wax and muslin.

Think of your privates as an award-winning cast: You have your supporting actors (the vulva) and your marquee stars (the clitoris and G-spot). Every part is there to entertain your sexual needs, but to milk the best performance out of each one, you have to show them all a little love and attention. So lock the bedroom door, kick off your shoes, and grab a hand mirror.

Without even spreading your legs, you'll see your pubic mound and two folds of skin called the labia majora (the outer lips). Both contain layers of fatty tissue that protect your clitoris and vagina. While pleasure reception is typically weak in this area, manual play can help increase the signal. "Rubbing the pubic mound and outer lips readies the clitoris for stimulation," says Herbenick.

Now, if you gently push apart the outer lips, you'll reveal a thinner set of lips called the labia minora. These hairless babies are loaded with blood vessels, nerve endings, and secreting glands. "To the naked eye, the glands may look like tiny bumps," says Diana Hoppe, M.D., author of Healthy Sex Drive, Healthy You. "They release secretions that actually help to separate your lips for easier penetration."

But they're not the only things lubing up your nether regions. When you spread the labia minora apart, you'll encounter Bartholin's glands (which are microscopic, so you can't actually see them with the naked eye) on each side of your vaginal opening. As you become aroused, these glands lubricate the outer portion of the vaginal canal. They typically release only a small amount of moisture, which is why so many women need plenty of foreplay to stay wet.

WELCOME TO THE PLEASURE CENTER
Here's where the clitoris comes in. She's that proud little pink nub, roughly the size of a pencil eraser, and she's there only for sexual pleasure. The girl's got some nerve--approximately 8,000 nerve endings, to be exact, the largest number found in the entire body and double the amount found in the glans of a man's penis, says Hoppe. Of course, that number makes her crazy sensitive, but you already knew that. What you probably didn't know is that she's got legs. Literally. "We see only the head of the clitoris," says Herbenick. But it has a body that's shaped like a wishbone, with two legs (called crura) that reach three inches into the vagina, just under the pubic mound and straight into G-spot territory (but more on that later). This gives the clitoris incredible sexual reach and depth. "It's the powerhouse of the orgasm," says Ian Kerner, Ph.D., author of She Comes First. "It connects with every single structure in the genitals."

The best way to make the clitoris happy is through direct, consistent, yet gentle oral or manual stimulation. But it's also quite responsive to woman-ontop and during a twist on missionary called the coital alignment technique, says Herbenick. In this position, your guy enters you as he normally would during missionary, with two simple tweaks: He inches his body up until his shoulders rest above yours and the base of his penis directly hits your clitoris. Then he grinds in a circular motion instead of thrusting, which "creates more friction against the clitoris," explains Herbenick.

Friction can feel fabulous, but sometimes the little starlet can be a touch overexposed. As you head toward climax, "the clitoris swells in size, which can make friction painful," says Hoppe. Some women report that clitoral stimulation at this point can feel like an irritating tickle, and in some cases, like a really sharp shock. To protect itself, the clitoris retreats back under the protective awning of the clitoral hood. Often, simply lightening up the stimulation a bit will make it feel good again.

An overly sensitive clitoris is your body's way of saying, "Let the vagina soak up some of the sexual spotlight, please!" The four-to seven-inch canal (it varies depending on the woman) can't hold a candle to the clitoris in the nerve-ending department. But it does boast a bunch, says Hoppe. The first two to three inches of the vagina "have hundreds of nerve endings and are majorly sensitive," she says. "That's why when a woman is giving birth and the baby is crowning, they call it the 'ring of fire.' " To stimulate these first few inches of your vaginal canal, try shorter, shallower thrusting during sex.

WHAT LIES BENEATH
Deeper into the vaginal walls, you'll find one of the vagina's trickiest trump cards: the G-spot. If the clitoris is famous, the G-spot is infamous. Not every woman can tap into its potential, but if you do, the rewards are phenomenal.

The G-spot is a spongy area about the size of a nickel, and it's located an inch or two into the anterior wall of the vagina, just under the pubic mound--and you've got to feel it to believe it. It has bumpy, knotty striations similar to a walnut, and it demands a hands-on, tough-love approach. "The G-spot's nerves are contained in fattier tissue, so you have to provide deeper, firmer pressure to stimulate it," says Kerner. For starters, you should already be really turned on before it's accessed. That's because the tissue doesn't swell and make itself known until you've enjoyed proper foreplay.

G-spot stimulation also calls for a tagteam approach. You can hit it by having your guy enter you from behind, but the best bet is to have him go down on you with his tongue and fingers. "With his mouth on your clitoris, have him use his fingers in a come-hither motion to apply firm, rhythmic pressure to the G-spot," says Kerner. Put those two together and it's like they're high-fiving each other for a job well done.

If you haven't had what you think is a G-spot orgasm, don't stress over it. (For the record, orgasms that originate in this zone generally feel expansive and deep, while orgasms that start in the clitoris often feel more acute and intense.) "Many women say the G-spot enhances their orgasm," says Kerner. "They wouldn't isolate it and say, 'Wow, I just had a G-spot orgasm.' It's more like, 'I just had an orgasm, and what he was doing felt really good.' That's why most vibrators come with a clitoral stimulator and a G-spot stimulator. They work in tandem to create what's commonly referred to as a blended orgasm." While you can have a clitoral orgasm without G-spot stimulation, it's a little trickier to achieve the reverse. But ultimately, it doesn't matter where it's coming from--at the end of the day, an orgasm is an orgasm. And they all feel amazing.

Down-There Myths
It's time for these tall tales to bounce.

"It smells bad down there."
Of all the myths, this is the one that really pisses off the expertsespecially because it keeps women from accepting and enjoying oral sex, the prime gateway to orgasm. "We are overly sensitive and insecure about the smell of our vaginas," says sex educator Logan Levkoff, Ph.D., author of Third Base Ain't What It Used to Be. "And we are far harder on it than any partner would be." Experts chalk it up to years of douche advertisements and the perception that vaginas should smell like rosewater. Um, they don't. Every woman has her own unique scent, but most of us have a musky smell that men are biologically wired to be attracted to, says Lissa Rankin, M.D. "Your scent may change from day to day, depending on how hot the weather is, what you ate, and when you last showered." That said, it's good to know what you smell like on an average day so that you can pinpoint any changes. A fishy smell, for instance, could be a sign of an infection called bacterial vaginosis.

"They all look the same."
Like any other body part, the vagina and vulva have basic shapes, but there is quite a bit of variation in coloration, symmetry, and pubic hair patterns. The biggest variation is in the labia minora, says Debby Herbenick, Ph.D. "Studies in which the lips have been measured have found up to 150 percent difference from one woman to another." Translation: Labial size can vary by up to an inch and a half.

"It can be too tight or too loose."
Unless a woman is a virgin or she's had a traumatic birthing experience with multiple children, there aren't big anatomical differences in vaginal canals, says Herbenick. Usually, feeling too tight or loose is a matter of lubrication. If you're too wet, there's not enough friction. If you're too dry, almost any penis will feel huge. Always have a tube of lube within reach if you tend to be dry, or a hand towel nearby if you get sopping wet. Granted, women who've had several vaginal deliveries might feel slightly looser, because some nerve endings have been destroyed, says Diana Hoppe, M.D. But Kegels can help strengthen the pelvic floor and muscles surrounding the vagina. "To do them, squeeze to contract the vaginal muscles for two seconds, then relax. Repeat for 10 minutes whenever you're waiting somewhere," she says.

"You can lose stuff in it."
Think your tampon went AWOL? No need to call the search-and-rescue squad. "Women seem to have this concept that the vagina is some never-ending tube that goes into the lungs," says Rankin. "But the vagina is like a sock. It goes only so far in length, so you can pull out anything that gets stuck." The cervix is a microscopic hole, and only a sperm can slip through there and make itself at home in the uterus. Anything else will hit a roadblock. Thank God.

I know thats not what you want to hear as you hoist your New Years champagne, but it is the unpleasant truth that we all face.

"We are the new slaves, enslaved by the Corporate King. The king disguises itself as our democratic government. But it lies to us and betrays us. The king owns our minds.

We are the new slaves, enslaved by the kings propaganda and lies. We are told we are free. But money controls all, and the people have little. The money I speak of buys elections and lying politicians who are the minions of the Corporate King. The Supreme Court, itself owned by the Corporate King, has just delivered our country over to the power of money with the courts latest decision in which it proclaims that the king may spend whatever the king wishes to further enslave the people, by feeding the people lies, feeding their prejudices, feeding their fear, feeding their hatreds and suspicions and claiming it is all for their benefit and their freedom.

We are the new slaves, enslaved by the kings voice, the television that educates us and our children, that corrupts our values with violence, that dumbs us down so we can no longer think for ourselves. We turn to the tube to think for us. It tells us what gadgets, what things to buy and how to become further enslaved to pay for them. We once enslaved the aborigines in this country by trading them trinkets and mirrors in exchange for their land. It is an old trick that those in power play on the powerless. We are the powerless.

We are the new slaves. We are enslaved by banks and their demand for interest. The banks own our homes. We pay the banks rent in the form of interest, and we keep up their property at our expense. The banks are the soul of the Corporate King. But king is governed by no moral code. The king is governed only by its greed.

We are the new slaves. We pay tribute to the Corporate King from the sweat of our bodies to finance the kings wars, wars not for our benefit, but for the kings further enrichment and power. Our people die in such wars. Our people die without adequate health care. Millions of our children go to bed at night hungry and uneducated. The king does not care. It cares only for its wars and its profit.

"The king sits back and laughs. To control the minds of hundreds of millions of people is divine. But such power is in the hands of fools who are the collective mind of the Corporate King. That mind is terminally diseased with greed. And the people are in jeopardy, for the king will continue to betray the people and lie to the people until it has sucked out the last of our lives. The Corporate King is insane.

What shall a desperate people do? We will do nothing until we learn the truth of our slavery. Will it then be too late except to scream in the streets?

But the king is deaf."
