BY J. PATRICK DOYLE and DOUG ROTHWELL
— Michigan's economy is rebounding faster than most states, but businesses won't be able to get the high-skilled workers they need unless we commit to making higher education more affordable for students.
Data shows Michigan's public universities, as a group, confer the fifth-highest number of degrees and certificates among all states. Even more impressive, Michigan produces the fourth-highest number in critical skills areas, including math, science, engineering and technology - degrees needed to fill the high-paying, in-demand jobs that will help Michigan become a Top Ten state for job, personal income and economic growth.
A recent study (http://urcmich.org) released by the University Research Corridor showed its three universities - Michigan State, the University of Michigan and Wayne State - conferred 31,683 graduate and undergraduate degrees in 2011, more than half in high-tech, high-demand, and medical fields. That successful record puts Michigan's Research Corridor schools ahead of six other university innovation clusters nationwide.
At Business Leaders for Michigan, we think far more remains to be done. Michigan is projected to need about 1 million college graduates in the next decade, yet only a quarter of Michigan adults over age 24 hold a bachelor's degree or higher. We tell our children they need a college degree to succeed, yet we're pricing college out of their reach.
The state has dropped its financial support for higher education by 50 percent over the last decade when adjusted for inflation, causing tuition to nearly double and student debt to skyrocket.
Policymakers have been trying to reverse course. Champions in the Legislature such as Sen. Tonya Schuitmaker have pushed for more funding for universities if they are efficiently producing the talent Michigan needs and making higher education more financially accessible. Last year's higher education budget reflected an increase, and this year's proposed budget continues that trend. But more must be done.
North Carolina's population, per-capita income and overall state spending are nearly identical to Michigan. Yet North Carolina spends $2.5 billion to support its higher education system; Michigan spends just $1.1 billion.
A North Carolina family spends $20,000 less over four years educating a child than a Michigan family. North Carolina has made college affordable; Michigan continues to shift the cost to students and their families.
Business Leaders for Michigan recently launched its Performance Tracker for Public Universities, allowing policymakers, parents and students to evaluate our public universities relative to their national peers (http://businessleadersformichigan.com/PerformanceTracker/).
This tool and the Research Corridor's Economic Impact Report show our public universities stack up well against universities nationally and contribute significantly to our economy. Word is getting out that the brightest minds in engineering, biomedicine and alternative energy are in Michigan. Our public universities are committed to producing tens of thousands of graduates in high-demand fields for those businesses to hire, but they can't do it alone. Greater financial commitment must come from the state.

Roger Dooley, Contributor
I make marketing better with brain & behavior research
Is flirting in a business environment ever a good thing for women? The answer is a qualified "yes." New data shows that women using what the researchers call "feminine charm" achieved better results in business negotiations. Flirtatious (vs. merely friendly) behavior also had a positive effect.
Researchers from UC Berkeley and the London School of Economics looked at both social charm and flirtatious behavior by conducting negotiations using male and female subjects, reporting the results in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. The result of multiple experiments enabled the researchers, led by Berkeley's Laura Kray, to conclude that using feminine charm produced better outcomes. This was true both in "zero sum" negotiations, where one party's gain is the other's loss, and in cooperative negotiations where the gain by both parties can be increased by working together.
How to be Charming
You might wonder how the researchers define charming behavior. Here's how they instructed female participants in one of their experiments to turn on the charm:
In the feminine charm condition, females were advised to be animated in their body movements, make frequent eye contact with their partner, smile, and laugh. They were further advised to be playful and to compliment their partner in as sincere a fashion as possible.
Flirty vs. Friendly
Two key components of feminine charm are flirtation and friendliness. It appears that both are important. Friendliness, which signals a focus on others, increases likability but also indicates a weaker negotiating stance. Flirtation signals a concern for self, which could decrease likability but increase negotiating strength.
(I feel compelled to add that this research didn't include any highly aggressive flirtation or behavior that might cross either legal boundaries or typical company guidelines. It would be a mistake to think that if a little flirting is good, a lot is better!)
The "Friendly" Trap
One of the interesting conclusions was that friendly women pay an economic price because by demonstrating warmth signals they are seen as less competitive and self-interested. Being flirtatious (and hence apparently self-interested) helped women negotiate better deals. The exception: the deals were worse if the flirting was perceived by their male counterpart as merely being friendly.
How Women Should Negotiate
In short, the research suggests that the ideal negotiating style for women is to avoid a neutral style and instead use feminine charm. The "charm" should include both friendly behavior and flirtation. The ultimate goal is to be viewed as likable but also motivated by self-interest.
Note that much of the perception of "flirty vs. friendly" is in the eyes of the negotiating partner. That is, the same behaviors could be interpreted either way. This suggests that women who want to optimize their social charm benefits need to gauge the reactions of their counterpart to avoid sending the wrong signal.
While all of the experiments were one-time negotiations, this advice should be relevant to more general behavior in the workplace. Women who use feminine charm effectively with co-workers, bosses, and employees will convey the message that they are friendly but not overly accommodating.
What do you think – is using feminine charm a good strategy? Or playing to a stereotype? Leave your thoughts in a comment!
Considering this is the second article of its kind in less than three days is disturbing. This approach might work for the twenty-something new to the business world that is desperately needing to gain some exposure; but, where is that going to get her reputation in the long run? Female peers and leaders will begin lacking trust for her and disrespect her for her tactics. Male peers and leaders will soon see through the act, realize there is nothing genuine or sincere behind her antics. She might have success in that moment of negotiation, but the long term losses could cost her a reputation, confidence, respect and more. I'm sure the Hilary Clinton's, Sheryl Sandberg's, Marissa Mayer's and Larissa Herda's of the world did NOT have to use their looks to get them ahead. Their brains, confidence and passion of their point did the work for them!
Isn't it more about accepting the cards dealt to you, embracing them then using them to your advantages? Successful negotiations or success in anything for that matter, is dependent on humans knowing their strengths and weaknesses, regardless of gender or race.
What an awful piece.
This "research" is really disturbing. Unfortunately, the report is only available for purchase (which makes me suspect), and the abstract has no information about the research methods used, how the male subjects were selected, and how the results from this highly subjective topic were normalized. I am surprised that Forbes would publish this piece.
Madeline Albright was born in 1937, and became Secretary of State 15 years ago. One would hope that by now women would be able to be successful through skillful use of their intellectual strength and experience. Albright is an amazing role model and the statement you attribute to her is so far removed from the advice she gives women. If you had put her photo on this piece, as you are now contemplating, what an injustice you would have done her. Here is just one of the many inspiring statements we should be attributing to her: "The main thing is to remain oneself, under any circumstances; that was and is our common purpose." This was advice from her father. Let's encourage our daughters and the women we mentor in the workplace to maintain their integrity. I certainly will not be sharing this article with them.
Roger, thank you for the link to the actual research paper. It provides all the answers!
The researchers conducted 4 experiments:
#1. The participants were students at a west coast business school. The male students evaluated the effectiveness of the female negotiators. According to the male college students, "female negotiators were considered to be more effective as they increased their reliance on social charm." According to the self-assessments of the female college students who relied on personal charm, "their negotiating counterparts enjoyed interacting with them and saw them as successful negotiators."
#2. The participants were chosen from an "on-line recruitment site where workers complete tasks electronically in exchange for payment." They were paid 50 cents for their responses. The men pretended to be selling a $1200 car to the women. The women were offered a lower sale price by these men when they followed a script which had them tell the men they were "charming," wink at them, and ask "what's your best price?"
#3. The participants were 34 undergraduates paid $15 each for participating. The women pretended to be selling a biotech plant to the men. This experiment "showed a negative economic effect for feminine charm…Males rated their mood more positively after negotiating with a counterpart using feminine charm," but "male mood did not predict negotiation outcomes."
#4. The participants were 60 undergraduates. I stopped reading.
Roger, your title (which is quite different from the title of the research paper) is misaligned with the actual results of this paper, and is quite misleading.
For anyone, male or female, who wants to improve their negotiation abilities in actual business deals with people in actual business leadership positions, I recommend Harvard Law School's Program on Negotiation. http://www.pon.harvard.edu.
Roger, I take no issue with the original article or its researchers, but with the way you reported the results. Your strong and conclusive title does not reflect the research.
The use of college students invalidates the results for the simple reason that they are not a representative sample of negotiators. Had they been elementary school students, they might have said that those giving away peanut butter sandwiches were better negotiating partners than those giving away nothing.
The only kind of research for which college students constitute a representative sample is research testing the attitudes of college students.
You can find better research for this subject. Please try.

GASTONIA, N.C. -- A Charlotte firefighter arrested over the weekend for assault and animal cruelty has been placed on paid administrative duty, officials say.
Gaston County Police arrested Bryan Carlton Barfield early Saturday morning in Gastonia. The Charlotte Fire Department placed Barfield on paid administrative duty pending the outcome of the legal proceedings.
According to Gaston County records, Barfield, 30, is facing a slew of charges including felony assault by strangulation, two counts of assault, communicating threats and felony cruelty to animals.
"As the investigation is ongoing, I am unable to comment on the details of this case," said Charlotte Fire Chief Jon Hannan after Barfield's court proceedings Monday morning. "However, I want our citizens' to know we hold our firefighters to a high standard of conduct in order to maintain the trust and respect of our community."
Friday night, medical staff at the Kings Mountain Emergency Room reported to police a victim of domestic violence. Gaston County Police say the female victim, Barfield's fiancee, had several signs of injury, and was grabbed around the neck, strangled and assaulted.
Gaston County Police say the victim reported that Barfield hit and killed a 14-week-old cat, stating Barfield threw the cat, kicked it, then threw it into the toilet. Although the victim does not have possession of the cat's remains, she reports she believes the cat is dead.
Police say the victim was Barfield's live-in girlfriend, and say a young child was home at the time of the alleged assault.
Barfield was arrested at his brother's home on Saturday morning.
Monday, Barfield's fiancee asked the judge to let him come home to their child, saying she wasn't scared of him and that she doesn't want to prosecute.
CFD Captain Rob Brisley released the following statement to NBC Charlotte on Saturday:
The Charlotte Fire Department is aware of this incident involving a member of the department and is looking into the circumstances regarding the charges. He (Barfield) is currently not scheduled to work.
It was not immediately clear what led up to the arrest or how long Barfield has been with the Charlotte Fire Department.
Barfield is currently being held in the Gaston County Jail. Monday, his bond was set at $10,000.
Officials say Barfield has been with the Charlotte Fire Department since 2011.
In an earlier version of this story, it was reported Barfield had been placed on paid administrative leave. The information was provided to NBC Charlotte from the Charlotte Fire Department, and has since been corrected to say Barfield is on "paid administrative duty".

Another Clue on CDMA iPhone 4; Will Head to Sprint?
DigiTimes reports that Pegatron – manufacturer of ASUS' gadgets – has received orders from Apple to start manufacturing CDMA iPhone 4!
We have had a lot of rumors in this regard. Steve Jobs himself admired at D8 that supporting an additional carrier for iPhone could possibly solve the call drop issues but he didn't go into any further details. Whether or not an additional carrier will be supported and which one it can possibly be? "I can't comment on that you know".
Despite all of these rumors and clues, Verizon officially told us that there was no chance of any Apple gadget on Verizon in the near future. You can watch the Verizon spokes person's interview again:
So, a CDMA iPhone 4 and not on Verizon! What other options do we have? Sprint, obviously! There's no other option! Let us assume for a moment that DigiTimes' report is correct, then we can dream a CDMA iPhone 4 on Sprint – for only a moment though!To subscribe, like us on Facebook

Miller says he talked to Curtis Hertel of Port Authority about needed expansion of Cobo. Thomas says that it was at this point that there was discussion about slots at Cobo. Miller says there was never discussion of slots at Cobo. Thomas says Rutherford never got passed square one on that issue. Miller agrees. Thomas moving to new area. Talking about Rutherford and the Free Press Civic Fund article. Doesn't sound like a new area to me. This is the article that exposed that Rutherford's homeless shelter gave $50,000 to the Civic Fund on August 29th 2001. This story triggered the IRS investigation that spanned the federal probe into Kilpatrick. Looking at check from DPR Management, Rutherford's company, to the Kilpatrick Civic Fund on July 2nd 2001 $30,000. Article wasn't until August 29th. Looks like the check was deposited July 10th 2001. Miller agrees that he said in direct testimony that he, Kilpatrick and other leadership members felt that they didn't have to disclose donors or money to the Civic Fund. Miller appears to change his mind and says "Wait a minute now I remember." Miller says now they did disclose the donors before August 29th. Someone at the Civic Fund accidentally filed it with the Secretary of State. 12:50PM Chutkow asks for a sidebar. Don't know what happened at sidebar but we are done for the day. Back tomorrow at 9AM.

Loyola at Valparaiso Men's Basketball Game Notes
Related Links
Wednesday, February 11, 2009
The Matchup: Valparaiso returns home to the ARC for the first time in three weeks Friday night when the Crusaders host Loyola. The game kicks off a stretch in which the Crusaders will play five of their last six regular season games at home.
Facing a Tough Slate: The Crusaders have taken on one of the toughest schedules in the country as measured by a pair of rating systems. The Sagarin ratings, as published in USA Today, rank Valpo's schedule as the nation's 21st-toughest to date. Ken Pomeroy's ratings, as published at kenpom.com, come to a similar conclusion, ranking the Crusader slate 26th to date, including 11 games against teams ranked in the top-100. Pomeroy also rates the defenses that Valpo has faced cumulatively as the fifth-toughest nationally.
Record-Setting Start: If senior guard Jake Diebler is in the starting five Friday against the Ramblers, it will mark a new Division I record for the Crusaders. The senior currently shares the distinction with Dan Oppland of being part of the starting lineup for 91 straight games. After not starting in any of his 18 appearances as a freshman, Diebler stepped into the starting quintet in the 2006-07 season opener against Calumet and has not come out since.

Comet! It will be all over the news this month as attention turns to a dirty snowball that has swooped in from the outer reaches of the solar system to pass around the sun. Will you be able to spot it?
This comet is ISON, which is an odd sort of name.But comets are named after their discoverers.In this case, it was a telescope in the International Scientific Optical Network, a system that automatically searches for asteroids. Discovery by robot!
This comet was billed early as potentially the brightest comet ever seen, perhaps rivaling the full moon. But such predictions are difficult to make since a comet's brightening depends on its structure and how it reacts to being heated by the sun.
A few weekends ago, I was observing all night at our Dark Sky Observatory at Appalachian State University with collaborators from South Carolina. After a night of measuring the changes in light of eclipsing binary stars – pairs of orbiting stars that eclipse each other – we decided to take a break and image ISON in the predawn sky. Trudging down to a smaller DSO telescope that has a wider field of view and lower eastern horizon, we found the comet and took a late-night portrait.
This was not for science, but for fun. We got a decent picture but stuck with black and white. Astronomical cameras are monochromatic to optimize their efficiency and sensitivity. To make those wonderful color images of celestial objects, we have to take separate images with blue, green and red filters and combine them with software. (The trouble with that? If the comet moves enough between exposures, combining them is difficult: Either the comet or the background stars end up being streaked.)
As the next few weeks go by, ISON will pass by the sun and brighten as it gets closer. That, of course, means it will only be visible low in the dawn sky, unlike notable recent comet views like last spring's Pan-STARSS, 2007's McNaught, Hale-Bopp ('97), Hyakutake ('96) or even the 1986 passage of Halley's comet.
We ended our long night at DSO taking calibration images of the brightening dawn sky and then left as the just-rising, hybrid-eclipsed sun displayed a chunk bitten out of it. A fitting end to a night of studying eclipsing stars!

"When I take students to Italy for Roman Archaeology, we not only read about the Colosseum or Pompeii or the Greek temple of Hera at Paestum, but we experience it, walking on the same steps and passageways as Romans did when they attended the games. Being on site is not only a truly multi-disciplinary experience, it allows students to understand how the Romans might have experienced it temporally and spatially."
-- John Gruber-Miller, Archaeology Program Advisor
The archaeology program at Cornell is highly flexible and intentionally multi-disciplinary. It includes a set of core courses in anthropology, the sciences, and language study. It also includes several options for investigating themes of time and place, along with a choice of electives and a senior thesis project.
Students may develop an individualized major in Archaeology by following the recommendations given on our major requirements page and developing an Individualized Major. For students intending to attend graduate school in archaeology, we also recommended completing an additional major or minor in a related discipline, such as anthropology, art history, classical studies, geology, history, religion, or Spanish.
Off-campus Study
Cornell's One Course At A Time schedule gives students a great deal of flexibility in pursuing off-campus courses, such as Intro to Archaeological Field Methods (taught locally), or Greek Archaeology. Students also enjoy access to high-level internship and research opportunities through our relationship with the Office of the State Archaeologist at the University of Iowa, the Cornell Fellows program, and other programs.

Workers' Compensation Basics
The workers compensation "bargain agreement"Workers compensation is a type of insurance that pays a portion of the worker's salary and medical care when an injury occurs while working. This compensation is given in exchange for relinquishing the worker's right to sue their employer for negligence. This trade off is known as "the compensation bargain."
Employers are prohibited from doing any type of retaliating actions such as disciplining or firing employees as a result of filing for a workers compensation claim, or taking action against another employee who may assist someone else in their claim for worker's compensation. The process for filing a claim is:
1. Provide notification to the employer about the employee's injury, which is potentially compensable, by giving notice to the manager of the employee within 30 days of the date of the injury. If the employee is unable to give such notification such as in the case of a hospitalization, this requirement may be excused provided that the employer is aware of the injury.
2. The employer submits a report to the workman compensation insurance board and the insurance carrier who sets the workman's comp rates.
3. The insurance carrier then begins paying the employee the appropriate rate of compensation and medical bills.
Know what types of injuries workers comp covers
Learn about the rate of compensation through workers compCompensable workman's comp monetary claims usually receive around 66%, or around two-thirds, of the employees regular salary or wages. However, they consider other issues that involve whether or not an employee's accident or injury-related damages are temporary or permanent, and partial or total.
Submit claims for possible compensation through workers comp within the statute of limitationsMost workers compensation laws indicate and require that an employee (or family member) file a claim for the benefits provided by workman's comp within one year of the date of the injured worker's accident. It is important to know the right periods for the state involved regarding workers compensation insurance claims and laws. For example, California has a one-year statute of limitation while Florida has a two-year period in which to file. It is important to be aware of each state's laws concerning workman comp eligibility and the workman's comp rates in order to assure a timely process within the appropriate period as directed by the state in which the filing is taking place.
- Every employee should get a copy of the workman's comp claim filed by the employer. If the workers comp insurance company denies the administration of benefits, the employee can move rapidly and file an application for an administrative hearing, which the state workers comp board will conduct.

The work of David Lewis (1941–2001) has influenced most areas of Anglo-American philosophy and remains of fundamental importance in current philosophical inquiry. Lewis's work provides a comprehensive philosophical system that answers a broad range of questions in metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, philosophy of action and many other areas. The breadth and unity of his ideas, however, have meant that a casual reader may miss some of the illuminating connections between apparently quite disparate pieces of work. Daniel Nolan's book not only makes Lewis's work more accessible to a general philosophical readership but provides a unified overview of his many contributions to contemporary philosophy.
The first part of the book examines Lewis's metaphysics – the area where he has had the greatest impact and which serves as the framework for the rest of his theories. The second section discusses Lewis's important contributions in the philosophy of mind, language and meaning. The book then explores some of Lewis's work in decision theory, metaethics and applied ethics, areas in which his work is both accessible and important. The final chapter focuses on Lewis's distinctive philosophical method, perhaps one of his most significant legacies, which combines naturalism with "common-sense" theorizing.
"An excellent textbook for upper level classes on metaphysics or philosophy of mind ... the book should also have value for professional philosophers because of how it draws out the connections between Lewis's views ... and the critical element of Nolan's exposition should be helpful at points even to experts." – Mind
"Daniel Nolan has performed an excellent feat in making accessible one of the deepest thinkers in recent philosophy. He has produced a book that can introduce students and non-specialist philosophers to the range and importance of Lewis's work. This book is a major new aid to understanding Lewis." – Stephen Mumford, University of Nottingham
"essential reading for specialists and non-specialists alike in metaphysics, mind, epistemology and language. Nolan has given us a pellucid, lively and accessible overview of the diverse strands of Lewis's work. I know of no other treatment of Lewis that is as useful, comprehensive and well written." – L. A. Paul, University of Arizona
"Daniel Nolan has the breadth of knowledge and technical facility to produce this first-rate, user-friendly study of the Lewisian system. In doing so, he has provided a great service to both specialists and non-specialists alike." – Alan Hájek, Australian National University
Daniel Nolan is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Nottingham.

The Jelqing Workout
Step 1 Warm Up
The warm literally involves applying heat to your penis.
The common ways to heat your penis include
1) Using a heating pad
2) Using a warm, wet wash cloth
3)Taking a hot shower
All of the above should be applied directly to the penis.
Don't skip the warm up. It's akin to warming up before you go running or lift weights - it leads to more results and less injury. Warm up for at least 5 minutes, but you're best bet is to shoot for 10 minutes.
Step 2 Apply the Lube
Lubrication is important because it will help you to jelq your penis in a gentle manner. It will also help you avoid any skin chaffing.
The most common lubricants are KY Jelly, Vaseline, and baby oil.
Step 3 Get the blood pumping
You'll need some blood in your penis to jelq effectively. Yet, at the same time, you don't want to jelq with an erection - or even near it. Jelqing with an erection is potentially dangerous.
Your penis should be somewhere between semi-hard and semi-soft. The goal is somewhere around 70 % erect.
Step 4 OK, grip it
You'll want to create an OK-grip with your thumb and pointer finger and put it at the base of your penis. The grip looks like you're giving the OK symbol.
Step 5 Jelq your penis
Apply pressure to the grip and move it down the shaft. You want the pressure to be light and gentle, yet at the same time effective.
Stop the jelq before you reach the head of your penis (don't jelq your head). The jelq should take roughly three or so second.
Then use your other hand to repeat the jelq. Switch hands every jelq rep until you acquire the number of reps.
For the first few weeks, do nomore than 150 jelqs per workout. Don't jelq every day, especially when you're first starting out. Going overboard is a common problem for new jelqers - and this is why jelqing has a bad wrap.
I did find that at times it was difficult to stop getting a full erection and even ejaculating. When you get to the edge stop jelqing for a few minutes to let your penis soften up.
Good luck. I'm anxious to hear from anyone who tries this as to their results.
While all of us would like to be 'bigger' I found that the important part of what I got out of jelqing was something different. I did the exercises pretty much as Shona2412 has described. And after a couple of weeks I did find that my penis did appear bigger more of the time. It's erect length was no different, but having the authority of greater soft size made me think I could be more of a locker room alpha male or something like that. It gave my self-image a boost, is what I guess I'm saying.
For me the interesting part was learning to maintain myself at about 70% erect -- just about the same size as when fully erect but still soft, pliable and mainly pointing down. I agree that at first it was difficult to stay at that position for long without springing up into rock-hard condition; and like many beginning jelqers I blew a good session by ejaculating! But with practice I found not only could I do the OK grip/slides for 20-30 minutes at a time and stay large but semi-soft at 70-75% -- but I actually enjoyed doing to jelq so much that I was in no hurry to get fully hard and move on to spilling semen. I found that the jelq was fun in itself and I would stop and feel satisfied without having ejaculated. I now call that QPT (Quality Penis Time) and it's something I enjoy doing when I want to enjoy my penis but don't especially feel like masturbating to ejaculation at the moment. I know I can maintain QPT for an extended period of time and have me be in control, enjoying and appreciating my penis and having it give me comfort and pleasure. It's not him being in control and demanding to be stroked to release. It can be fun to do at bedtime if you're alone and want to rest; it can accompany meditation; it can be good to do in the steamroom as a part of a relaxation time, or in the shower as a part of morning wake-up. For an extended QPT session I'd recommend a lubricant; I like the baby oil gel products which are thick and slippery.
The second benefit of learning to jelq was learning increased awareness of how to handle and stimulate my penis. This was helpful in learning to become multi-orgasmic, something which really should be in a separate piece but since I've started I'll put in a little here. Basically there's the situation where your orgasm and your ejaculation are really separate events. Going back to the days when we first learned to masturbate we we usually holed up in the bathroom, trying to get the job done as quickly as possible. Under such conditions the orgasm and ejaculation become so combined into one event it's difficult to separate them out into two separate ones. But it can be done. Through practice you can stroke yourself to the point where you're at the edge of orgasm -- shooting your wad doesn't seem far away. But if you back off your strokes a little you can still feel the rush of physical resolution and delight; the tension drains from your body as you've had a small but true orgasm but your penis is still hard and ready for more. With practice you can get yourself up to three or four orgasms before ejaculation. At some point along the way you're going to want to switch over to this type of activity with your partner. And that is something worth working for! I find myself having a 'dry come' and coming out for a short rest period and then re-inserting myself and starting all over again. That can take quite a while and both of us wind up being worn out. Don't plan much of anything else for a day when you do that!
Getting to know myself better, learning about QPT and how to enjoy 'soft-ons' and learning how to be a multi-orgasmic male makes the jelq process definitely worth it!
Jelqing does have a good number of benefits as I outlined some time ago; however, as far as I see I really don't think that foreskin enlargement or replacement is one of them.
Let us know how you progress.
Jelqing itself can be quite pleasurable and relaxing. If I am jelqing I will usually set up a rule of not getting fully hard for at least 15 minutes. When I get past that point I allow myself to get fully hard and start pumping -- or I may choose to go on to 20 minutes with a semi.
One other point -- I am uncircumcised and also make sure that I jelq for the first 10 minutes with my foreskin fully down and in the 'closed' or covering position. Then after 10 minutes I'll slowly retract my foreskin -- a normal act which at this point becomes exquisite and can produce a fair amount of precum.
No end to the fun we can have with our penises if we give it a try! Good luck! I find that for me the control and pleasure parts along with having some good self-time is worth far more than any increase in penis size might be.
To maximize the multi-orgasmic pleasure, here i need to share the practical experience.
1. Warm the penis for 3-5 min (cloth, pad etc)
2. Start the jelqing exercise for 7-10 min. (OK style) different direction i.e. East, west, North & south.
3. Take soft baby brush apply soap on penis and brush, gently brush and massage the entire length (Body, Head) for 5-7 min.
4.After brushing wash and dry penis and apply coconut oil to entire penis massage for 2 min and let the oil to stand for 2-3 hours.
5. Do this for a week and repeat the same step 1 to 4 before 1 hour when planned to have intercourse.
6.While foreplay start kegel exercise for 10-15 min. and control the ejaculation by contraction and relaxation of penis inside the vagina.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — If Mayor Mike Tucker was trying to draw attention to Lockport with his recent criticism of the Niagara Tourism & Convention Corporation, then consider his goal accomplished. If, however, he's truly serious about moving toward a city-only marketing effort, he'd be wise to reconsider.
Tucker and other Lockport-based political observers believe that the city doesn't get enough value — compared to Niagara Falls — for the nearly $85,000 in a city bed tax that's turned over annually to the NTCC, which promotes Niagara County. Instead, he suggested the city would be better off on its own, adding that the NTCC would have to continue to promote Lockport because "that's its job" as the county's tourism promotion agency.
His recent pronouncement has certainly drawn attention. Buffalo television stations wanted to talk with him, and it was also a hot topic on talk radio. It also brought NTCC officials to Lockport not only to talk with Mayor Tucker, but also to attend a Lockport Business Association meeting, a very rare moment. would that have happened without Tucker's bluster? Not bloody likely.
There is also a little truth to the idea that Lockport is treated as second class in the county. When was the last time there was a convention or major business meeting held here? Major events hosted by Niagara USA, the United Way and other groups routinely take place in Niagara Falls, mostly because there's no place large enough in Lockport to host these events. Maybe there's room in the plans for convention space in the proposed downtown ice arena?
Still, to completely dismiss the NTCC wouldn't be prudent. For its $85,000 contribution, Lockport — packaged with the rest of Niagara County — in 2012 received media exposure in the Rochester, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio markets.
Where would Lockport advertise on its own on just $40,000, assuming the other $45,000 went to a marketing director? Elmira, Watertown, Scranton and Dayton, Ohio? Advertising on radio and television isn't cheap. The collective amount spent by the NTCC to promote Niagara dwarfs what a Lockport-specific marketing strategy could achieve.
Plus, let's be realistic. The number of hotel beds filled annually in Eastern Niagara County is a fraction of what's filled in Niagara Falls. This region has the benefit of the world-famous cataract to draw tourists. The falls are the drawing card. If Lockport, the wine trail, North Tonawanda's carrousel museum and other attractions must play second
fiddle, so be it.
We're Reno; the Falls, Las Vegas. Both have their strong suits. Mayor Tucker's ace in the hole of drawing attention to Lockport may pay off, but he'd better not overplay his hand.

Pamper Train
Made with a case of Baby wipes and Pampers
Oh my goodness, that is fantastic! I have seen what people call "diaper cakes", but your train is so much nicer than the cakes. What did you use for the wheels? I am so glad you figured out how to post pictures. TFS
PattyoThis message has been edited. Last edited by: NC HillBilly,
Thank you!!!!! yes I do them too, there's soo many neat ideas for making baby gifts with pampers and I like trying my hand at the different ones and add my own touch to them the wheels are little plastic bowls and I use a swim noodle to make the center and straws then wrap a pamper around that, it's amazing the little things you can use to make something sooo wonderful, mommy-to-be was sooo happy to recieve this gift
would you by any chance wish to share the instructions for this cute as a button train? I'm a soon to be great grandma and would love to make one of these. Thanks so much for sharing....
Found this train on Youtube. Don't like using hot glue on the diapers and covering all the parts. It doesn't look like the one above, but there are other diaper 'cakes' that you can see. Motorcycle, stroller, tracter...I forgot what else...dang. And maybe watching the video you can figure out how to make the one above.
Good luck
Good friends are like stars...You don't always see them, but you always know they're there.
Thanks Granny3641 for responding sorry I haven't been on much doing events for summer.I also use the youtube video on how to make it and just added my own little things here and there and no I didn't use glue to add pampers I made little holes in box and string ribbon and tie on and some I use double sided tapes so that it didn't mess up pampers and they could be use.I have seen where alot use glue and making different things with pampers and I never understund that.
That diaper train is really cute!

SHANGHAI — The family always knew there was something mysterious about Wang Fanglian, secrets he dared not share with even his closest relatives.
Although he was just an ordinary worker at a diesel engine factory, he spoke four languages, among them English with a guttural German accent. His narrow brick-faced house had a flush toilet, a gas stove and a balcony for drying clothes, all strange luxuries in his rickshaw-wide Shanghai alley.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — It could be called students helping students, just one group is a little older.
Kids at North Park Junior High School are getting a little extra help from college students. And the relationship is yielding some positive results.
Lockport City Schools, North Park and Niagara University have started a unique partnership. Niagara sends graduate students to help tutor kids in academic need. The program, Promoting Academic Student Success or PASS, gives assistance to junior high students that need it and work experience to the tutors.
The partnership started when North Park saw a need. At the school, there's a group of teachers who meet with at-risk kids, students who need extensive academic help. The school monitors grades and test scores, so those kids who struggle are flagged and placed into North Park's Response to Intervention program. The RTI teachers teach, but they also instill organization and study skills in the kids.
Last year, a group of teachers volunteered to be on the RTI team. RTI was working, but there were so many more kids to reach. And a few teachers wouldn't be able to work with so many students, said Shawn Murray, North Park assistant principal.
"The program went well, but we weren't hitting as many as we wanted," Murray said.
Murray and Lindsey Calabrese, the school's psychologist, reached out to local colleges about sending graduate students. Niagara responded immediately, Murray said.
"It's win-win for everybody," he said. "Most importantly the students get the attention they need to be successful. And the graduate student get experience working in the field. They can see the fruits of their labor."
Throughout the week, the tutor meets once each with about 10 to 12 North Park kids. The partnership allows for one-on-one tutoring, which gives the student individual attention. There are about 65 to 70 North Park kids and six tutors in the PASS program.
