With sex - the male-female penis-in-vagina type - I'm not really sure what to do. If he's on top, do I just lie there? If I wrap my legs around him, doesn't that impede his thrusting? What feels best to a guy? Legs over shoulders? Ankles crossed? What should I do with my hands? If I'm on top, what movements should I make? Grind? Up and down? HELP! [more inside]

This is driving me nuts. I'm trying to remember the name of a site that offers general how-to information and contains the word "squid" or something like it in the URL. In content it's not unlike makezine or instructables, but less specifically hands-on. Am I crazy? Was/is there such a site?

I'd like to build some furniture without advanced (or possibly any) woodworking skills. Say I wanted to make a basic chaise (seems easy enough) or a Stokke Ekstrem knockoff (harder.) What are some easy ways to put together some just-for-me modern furniture? For example, you can put together some simple stuff with PVC tubing, but it isn't very attractive and isn't that versatile. Are there easier materials/techniques to work with?

I have been given several mounted insects as gifts recently (moths, moving leaf insects). I would like some resources (books, web sites) on how to go about buying and mounting/framing/preserving specimens myself. Many of the books on Amazon are out of print, or have no descriptions.
