- Introduction to Psychology
- Personality Theory
- Abnormal Psychology
- Developmental Psychology
- Experimental Psychology
- Physiological Psychology
- Social Psychology
Prerequisite courses must be completed with an average of "B" or above before a student can matriculate into the program.

Clinical Psychology: Additional Admissions Information
The School seeks students with both academic aptitude and personal qualities that will enable them to develop personally and professionally into effective psychologists. The application deadline is January 10, 2014. A personal interview is required for all finalists who apply to the program.
Applicants are advised that Pacific University requires criminal background checks. This background check is required to determine students' qualification to provide services; it takes place after admission and deposit. A criminal record may disqualify a previously admitted student. In addition, drug screenings are required prior to the start of clinical practicum placements.
International Students
The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required for those for whom English is not the native language. Minimum score for paper test is 600; computer test, 250, internet test 100.
If you attended a non-US or non-Canadian college, university, or graduate school, a course-by-course evaluation of your international college and university transcripts is required. Several third party organizations provide this service to international students, but we prefer WES (World Education Services). The credentials evaluation must be received in our Admissions office by the application deadline to ensure consideration of your application.
Transfer of Credits
Post-baccalaureate work at the graduate level in psychology taken at an accredited university may be evaluated for transfer. An "A" grade must have been achieved and the course instructor and the Director of Academic Issues must determine that the content of the course (based on syllabus documentation) was appropriate through review of the Transfer of Credit Application. A maximum of 21 credits may be transferred from other schools provided these were earned after award of a bachelors degree from an accredited program and within the four years immediately preceding admission to the School. Practicum and internship credits are not transferable.

AUGUSTA — Officials at the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed Thursday that four program directors have been relieved of their duties by the LePage administration.
DHHS employees were notified of the staff changes late Wednesday in an email from Commissioner Mary Mayhew.
The four directors are considered political appointments who serve at the pleasure of the commissioner. This brings to eight the number of people LePage has jettisoned at DHHS since taking office in January. The governor also fired former MaineCare Medical Director Dora Anne Mills. Mills, who held a contract position, was let go in February.
Wednesday's firings involved Don Chamberlain and Ronald Welch, who both headed the Adult Mental Health Services program; Diana Scully of Elder Services; and Jane Gallivan of Adults with Cognitive and Physical Disabilities.
All were appointed by Gov. John Baldacci.
Anthony Marple, head of MaineCare Services, was let go in February. James Beogher, who headed the Child and Family Services program, was relieved of his duties last month. Russ Begin, deputy commissioner of finance, was released earlier this year.
Jennifer Duddy, director for legislative relations, left shortly after she was hired by Mayhew in March.
In her message to DHHS employees, Mayhew wrote, "These changes continue the assembly of a new leadership team at DHHS as part of the new administration. The primary goal remains meeting the needs of Maine people within existing resources through a system that is more integrated, efficient and cost-effective."
Mayhew, in a statement released Thursday morning, declined to say why the changes were made, citing that the issue was a personnel matter.
Sen. Margaret Craven, D-Lewiston, the ranking Democrat on the Legislature's Health and Human Services Committee, blasted the firings, saying the decision was a political move that comes at the expense of expertise and experience at an overwhelmed department.
Craven blamed Mayhew for caving to the governor.
"Not only am I disappointed in this decision, I'm also disappointed in Commissioner Mayhew's management curve," Craven said. "She was hired to manage this important agency and now she's gutting it for purely political reasons."
The latest move comes in the wake of DHHS criticism from the leaders of conservative groups who say the department is in need of a cultural overhaul.
LePage declined to directly comment on the shakeup.
"What I can tell you is when there is a new (administration), political appointment changes are to be expected," said Adrienne Bennett, the governor's spokeswoman. "As far as the cultural change — we must ensure that all state workers are focusing on their department's mission."
Mayhew said Guy Cousins will serve as acting director of the Office of Adult Mental Health Services while remaining director of the Office of Substance Abuse. Ricker Hamilton, an employee within the Office of Elder Services, will assume the director's role at OES and serve as acting director for the Office of Adults with Physical and Cognitive Disabilities Services.

Register Correspondent
RICHMOND — "I've turned in over a hundred resumes in the last six months and I haven't received a single phone call for an interview," your friend complains. "I know some of these places are hiring because I've heard people have gotten jobs there since I've turned in my resume "
You ask your friend several questions about the content of their resume, how many pages it contained and where they have applied.
Your friend replies, "I feel like I've got a great resume. I worked really hard to make sure that I have all of my previous employers listed on it, along with the skills and duties I have acquired at each employer. It's just so frustrating because I know I'm qualified for the jobs, but no one will contact me."
Your friend looks tired and exhausted. The tone of their voice tells you that they're feeling hopeless.
Your friend goes on to say, "I'm so tired of applying for jobs. I've got it down to a routine for the application process — open the application, copy and paste all of my information into the online app, then attach my master resume and cover letter. When everything looks ready, I click submit. I don't even expect a phone call anymore, but I have to keep trying. I need a job."
You tell the friend, "I know what your problem is. You are not customizing your application, your resume, or your cover letter. Employers want applications that are customized so they know the candidate is serious about the job."
Your friend looks at you puzzled.
"What do you mean by customize?"
Employers are very experienced in reviewing applications, cover letters, and resumes. They can tell when a job seeker wants a J-O-B more than they want to pursue a career.
What's the difference between a successful candidates' application, resume and cover letter, and that of an average job seeker's?
The answer is the amount of time, effort and thought that went into the process.
Having a master resume and cover letter is an ineffective way to apply for a job and isn't going to produce the results you want.
To create a customized resume and cover letter, it takes time to read the job description thoroughly and do the research on the employer. You need to learn more about the employer's product, or service, and be able to describe how you'll be able to contribute to their team.
Review your experiences and identify relevant examples that match the skill sets the employer is looking for.
Focus on how you can fill their immediate need, and how you'll be able to hit the ground running, if hired to fill their position.
Customized applications, resumes and cover letters indicate to an employer that you are serious about the position. It also indicates that you've taken the time to tailor the items to meet the needs of the employer.
Effective applications are about quality, not quantity.

Buffalo Bills General Manager Buddy Nix met with reporters outside the team's headquarters to discuss dumping pass-rusher Shawne Merriman.
Nix's comments were somewhat standard. He said Merriman was competing for the fourth defensive end spot, and the club decided to take a closer look at "a couple of young guys" while also giving Merriman a better chance to latch on with another team.
Nix declined to say who those youngsters are, but the depth chart released today shows Robert Eddins as the backup left defensive end (where Merriman used to be) behind Mario Williams. Kyle Moore is the third right defensive end behind Mark Anderson and Chris Kelsay.
"I think he struggled a little," Nix said of Merriman. "First of all, let me say this: He can play. He did everything. He's been healthy since OTAs. He hasn't missed anything. He's very attentive in meetings. He's worked hard in practice, and he's played in spots really good during the games. He's a hard worker. He's done everything he could do.
"We think we've been patient. But there comes a point where we felt like we needed to move on and look down the road. So these young guys will get a shot."
Nix also said concerns over Merriman's health were not a factor and that the Bills didn't try to trade him.

Nursery plans 'will hit quality of care'
Updated 10:25am Wednesday 30th January 2013 in News By Fran Bardsley
LETTING nursery staff look after more children will affect the care youngsters receive, Oxfordshire nurseries have warned.
One nursery owner branded the plans, which would allow single nursery staff to be in charge of up to four babies or up to six children under three, as "ludicrous".
Children's Minister Liz Truss yesterday announced plans to change the adult to child ratios for nurseries and childminders as a way of making childcare more affordable.
But Oxfordshire nurseries raised serious concerns about the proposal, and feared a two-tier system of child care would emerge.
Margaret Webster, 55, who owns Tiny Toes Day Nurseries in Steventon and Abingdon, said: "Good nurseries will not increase the staff-child ratio. Those that do will have less staff, more children and more workload on staff who are already overloaded. Children will suffer and nobody will be better off."
She said even if the proposals were introduced, she would not change ratios in her nurseries as they are not expected to be compulsory.
She said: "If my staff had to look after four babies, they would be frazzled by the end of the day.
"Trying to save money by altering staff ratios is a ludicrous idea."
As well as caring for children, staff have to make regular observations and report on each child's day, and provide feedback to parents.
Anna Thorne, 46, is manager of Donnington Doorstep Children's Centre in Oxford, which is set to take over the management of neighbouring Donnington Playgroup.
She said: "With ratios as they are, it's very difficult to look after that number of young children effectively and give them the sort of care they need. I don't think it will make childcare cheaper.
"Those parents who can afford to pay will get better quality childcare, while parents on lower incomes will end up with poorer quality childcare."
Natalie Greatbatch, owner of Stepping Stones Nursery in Glanville Road, East Oxford, said she did not see how one person could possibly look after six two-year-olds. She said: "They are at an age where they need a lot of attention. How can you feed four babies at the same time?"
But Ros Marshall, chief executive of Kids Unlimited, which has nurseries in Oxfordshire, said relaxing staff ratios would offer nurseries flexibility to focus on qualified staff and high standards of care.
At Busy Bees, which has a nursery in Bicester, chief executives John Woodward and Marg Randles said they welcomed more flexibility.
Ms Truss said easing rules on ratios can give nurseries the "headroom to pay higher salaries".
She insisted better wages were needed to improve the system in England, pointing out that nursery staff only earn £6.60 per hour on average.
"We have learned from other countries that deliver better-value and better-quality childcare," she said.
"We have looked across Europe and beyond. The aim is not to replicate another country's approach but to learn from and apply best practice.
"I have been particularly struck by the high status and trust afforded to childcare professionals in continental Europe. In particular, I am impressed by much of what happens in France."
- THE current ratio for children under two in nurseries is 1 adult: 3 children. Under the proposals it would be 1:4.
- The current ratio for children aged under three in nurseries is 1:4. The proposed new ratio is 1:6.
- The current ratio for childminders outside a nursery setting is 1:3 under fives, only one of which can be under the age of one. The proposed ratio is 1:4 under fives including up to two babies aged under one.
- The new ratios would only be allowed if a member of staff with a new, early years educator qualification which is set to be of A-Level equivalent standard, was present. Otherwise former ratios would apply.
- It is not planned to change the nursery ratio for children aged three or over, which is currently 1:8 or 1:13 depending on whether a qualified graduate is present.

They seemed to have some good lobbyists working for them.
Anyone with an ounce of commonsense would know that the less children you have to look after, the better you can care for them. Imagine trying to change the nappies of 6 toddlers at the same time.

Those parents who can afford to pay employ nannies. Everyone else is the same-it takes too big a chunk out of your income. Why it is so expensive in England is not obvious. Car prices used to be the same. I hope these changes make child care costs manageable.

Two lefties with no-hitters to their names turned in great performances on this date. One was against the Mets, the other was perhaps the last great start of Johan Santana's career.
Mets second baseman Ron Hunt learned he'd be the team's first All-Star starter on this date in 1964.
The Mets almost brought on a new owner three years ago today.
Mike Piazza set the record for most career home runs by a catcher on May 5, 2004.
Has a hidden hand been guiding Johan Santana's career? A hidden hand, specifically, a hidden left hand, that Mets fans might be familiar with...
The Mets missed out on a lot of innings from Johan Santana for the amount they paid him, but signing him was still a good decision.
The Mets received bad news about Tom Seaver on this date in '76, but some positive reports regarding Johan Santana 36 years later.
Johan signs on the line that is dotted.
The life of a day in the history of the New York Mets.
Is there a player on the Mets roster you want to have on your fantasy team?

Well totally small room in a strange environment, but great owner and very clean.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Despite the bad rap this building "Chunking Mansions" gets, new Peking house is pretty decent if you want to camp out for a few nights while taking in all the sights of busy Kowloon. Rooms are small but efficient, bathrooms are ok. And Mr and Mrs.Peter always extend a helping hand with a smile be it finding restaurants or help with directions.
If you're going to stay here for a few nights, remember evenings are pretty crowded for the lifts to go upto 12th floor. Sometimes as long as 20 mins, so it pays to find the Exit staircase while you're on the 12th floor and find it all the way to the ground. Its a little winding, but it helped me save time and is good exercise.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Very good service, the environment, cleanliness also very good..~ im satisfy with the services they provided..!!
Location also very good..~got many shopping complex near the Guest house, it is very convenience.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Guest house's owners are very helpful and kind.
Location is near China Hongkong ferry and Star ferry that made me comfortable to go there when I need to Macau and Hongkong. The room has a lot of windows, I can see the view out there.

Eric Guevara and his pregnant wife Jessica have been Marlins season ticket holders since the team moved to Little Havana, but Monday was the first time all season they made sure to show up early to watch batting practice.
Baseballs biggest lightning rod, Yasiel Puig, is in town, and the Guevaras were not going to miss an opportunity to see the Dodgers bright young star up close. In the end, they got more than they imagined with their pre-game field passes an autographed baseball and a photo on their cell phone with Puig.
What do I love about him? Just the way he is he plays the game like an animal, said Guevara, a 31-year old Nicaraguan from Miami.
He plays like he remembers where he came from, taking extra bases, throwing guys out. Im putting this baseball up right next to the rock we got from this place when they first broke ground at Marlins Park.
Puig, 22, has only been in a major-league uniform since June 3, but hes quickly won over a nation of fans including quite a few in the Marlins backyard who can identify with the hunger and passion Puig plays the game now that he has the opportunity to.
In April 2012, Puig was caught by the U.S. Coast Guard in a speed boat somewhere between Cuba and Haiti trying to defect. He made it through on his second attempt, and signed a seven-year, $42 million contract with L.A. after three scouts came to watch him workout in Mexico City. Puig reportedly didnt even run, field or throw during the workout. All the Dodgers needed to see was him hit.
Youre going to enjoy the show, former Marlin Hanley Ramirez promised of Puig before Mondays series opener. He puts on a show every night out there. Theres a lot of Cubans here. Theyre going to love him, the way he plays the game. When youre young and have that type of talent, can do it all, the game is going to look easy from the outside.
Puig has made it look easy since putting on a Dodgers uniform, ranking among the major-league leaders in hits (91) and runs (47) since being called up from Double A Chattanooga. The Dodgers were 23-32, 8 1/2 games back of first place in the National League West when Puig arrived. They came into Mondays game on a 47-19 run and 7 1/2 games up in their division with Puig in the lineup.
Dodgers fans wore t-shirts Monday that read Yasiel Sabe Puig Knows, an obvious play on the old Bo Jackson Bo Knows t-shirts.
Nowadays, Puig is attending the ESPYs, posing for photos with Kobe Bryant on Instagram and hanging at the Playboy Mansion with rapper Snoop Dogg and singer Chris Brown while making a run at the National League Rookie of the Year award.
TMZ reported Puig and teammates Matt Kemp and Carl Crawford were hanging out with LeBron James early Monday morning at South Beachs LIV Nightclub, hours after the Dodgers had their 10-game win streak halted by the Phillies.
Was Monday morning the first time you met LeBron James? Did you watch the ESPYs? Puig responded in Spanish during a press conference created to meet the demand of interview request. Dont you have a TV in your house?
To some, Puig is too brash, cocky for a rookie barely two months into his career. He doesnt like doing interviews and used profanity in the clubhouse prior to Mondays game when told by a Dodgers official about the aforementioned press conference he was to participate in.
Do I like the media? Puig said with a grin. You guys are driving me crazy.
Its the price of fame, he was told by a reporter. I didnt pay for the fame, Puig answered.
The Dodgers, with baseballs second highest payroll behind the Yankees, dont seem to care too much what Puig does off the field or even on it.
For all the good Puig has done hitting over .358 with 11 homers with 27 RBI, seven stolen bases and six outfield assists entering Monday hes also hurt his team by trying to throw out every base runner who dares to challenge his arm and trying to take extra bases.
Puig has run into 12 outs on the base paths between pickoffs and trying to take extra bases. Sunday against the Phillies, he got picked off at first in one inning and tried to throw a runner out at third in another, allowing the tying run to advance to second in a loss.
There are mistakes you dont want to see, but you take the good with the bad and theres a lot of good, manager Don Mattingly said Sunday. Hes a ball of energy. And hes a good kid, too. He goes 0 for 4 and we win hes as happy as anybody out there. You see him high-fiving and cheering. Those are all good traits. There are things he has to improve. But the guy loves to win. He loves playing and its great to see that.
Were going to keep teaching. We knew what we were getting into when we called him up.
Puig doesnt just play aggressive on the field. While playing for Chattanooga in April, he was arrested in Tennessee for reckless driving, speeding and driving without proof of insurance.
According to the police report, Puig was driving 97 miles per hour in a 50 mile per hour zone when he was stopped.
Did Puigs late night partying with LeBron bother Mattingly?
I wasnt afraid to go out myself honestly, Mattingly said. My big thing is being ready to play when you get here. If they were caught breaking a rule or being out after curfew that would have been one thing. They didnt. Were all here ready to play today. Honestly Im not getting involved in it or worried about it.
Puig isnt either. This is about baseball, he said when asked about what he and LeBron talked about.
Im very happy to play in Miami, especially now that I live here ... Theres a lot of Cubans who were watching me with the Dodgers. Now they can see me in person playing four games.

|Poetry workshops to prepare teens for slam competition
|August 02, 2013
Many believe that teens speak a language all their own. While this dialect isn't always easily understood, several poets, writers and performers celebrate teens' unique forms of self-expression. Omaha Public Library invites teens in grades 8-12 to express their creativity through a series of poetry workshops. Coaches and experts from Louder Than a Bomb will be available to help participating teens with poetry selections and performances. Workshops will lead up to a live poetry competition sponsored by Omaha Public Library – the Teen Poetry Bash on December 14, where teens can win cash prizes for winning performances. Workshops will be held the second Saturday of each month at 1-2:30 p.m. through November. Registration is requested at omahalibrary.org or by calling the hosting branch.
Louder Than a Bomb is a youth poetry festival that originated in Chicago and was featured in an eponymous documentary. It aims to increase poetry appreciation through participation. The local festival is presented by the Nebraska Writers Collective, who introduced it to Omaha during the 2011-2012 school year and had participation from 12 area high schools in its first season. For more information about Louder Than a Bomb Omaha, visit ltabomaha.org.

- Mixalot Gloves (Review by By Nate Brown)
I just used these gloves on a five pitch winter 5.8. The gloves felt like another layer of skin for the climbing moves and climbed flawlessly on the cold granite. Dry-tooling, hand-jams, crimpers etc felt easier with these gloves. I would use this glove in conjunction with warmer mittens/gloves for belaying on very cold alpine outings. Disclaimer: the gloves were a gift through the grassroots program. However, I like them so much I will likely buy another few pair at full retail. A good price to boot. Happy climbing.

- Mixalot Gloves (Review by By Shone)
I use these groves when i ride my motorcycle everyday. They have nice and great fitting leather perm, so i can fell very clearly touching breaks and clutch lever. Also windstopper membrane keeps my hand warm enough and dry. Just a thing i worried about is the color of leather part. I can wash them pretty easy, because this palm is made of sheep leather, but stain doesn't get off. Please make black color palm model. Anyway. these gloves are still great. That is really true.

- Mixalot Gloves (Review by By Ski Attack)
I use the Mixalot glove all the time. It is not only good for mixed climbing. It is nice as a ice climbing glove when the weather is warm, but I also use it when I am skinning in the backcountry and on alpine routes in the summer. I take it rock climbing with me and use it as a belay/short roping glove. I love the weight and the dexterity that I have while wearing the Mixalot. I find that in the summer that my hands stay cooler in the Mixalot than gloves designed for belaying and rope work. The leather on the palms are thin, but I have been using them quite a lot with out serious signs of wear and no holes.

- Mixalot Gloves (Review by By Izzy Bullfrog)
I used these while patroling in Afghanistan in the winter. They fit great and have a very nice leather palm. They keep the wind off of my hands a have a nice thin liner on the top. I have full function of my hands and can access all my equipment without having to take off my gloves. These are the best tactical gloves I have ever used. If your chain of command won't freak out over the color then get them. I would suggest that Outdoor Research make these in tan and black also. I would be the first to buy them. Great product!!!

Facing a three-point deficit against Green Hope, Wakefield quarterback Evan Brabrand gathered the Wolverines' offense on the sidelines and delivered an impassioned plea to his teammates to come together and avoid what was shaping up to be a colossal upset in the opening round of the NCHSAA 4AA playoffs
Brabrand backed up his speech – but not before the deficit swelled to six points – and delivered the game-winning touchdown that allowed the Wolverines to escape with a 14-13 win over the Falcons.
While Brabrand led the offense to the winning score, it was the Wolverines' effort on defense that kept them in the game.
"This win goes to the defense," said Braband, who finished the night with 152 total yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions. "They played a phenomenal game. The held them, gritted their teeth and went after it."
Green Hope tallied 332 yards on 77 offensive plays and had the ball for 29 minutes, 35 seconds, yet the Wolverines (11-1) held the Falcons (5-7) to just one touchdown. They also intercepted two passes and had four sacks.
"There are no words to describe how our defense played tonight," said defensive tackle Rey Gil, whose fourth-down sack with 1:23 to play sealed the win.
After interceptions on the first two offensive series, Brabrand and the offense found some rhythm on their third. The Wolverines covered 86 yards on 6 plays in 1:28, with Josh Lowery hauling in a 30-yard pass for a 7-0 lead.
Green Hope tied the score at 7-all midway through the third quarter after Demetrice Massenburg scored on a 1-yard run. Field goals from 30 and 31 yards by Nolan Paussa had the Falcons leading 13-7 with 7:33 to play.
Mike Shelton's 50-yard return on a Green Hope pooch kick set up the Wolverines at the Falcons' 26. Brabrand called his own number six times and covered all 26 yards to the end zone for the winning score.
"They shut us down all game," Brabrand said. "That last drive I tried to get some yards with my feet. Now we've got to learn from our mistakes and come back next week against (Millbrook), who handed us our only loss."

My Email Digests
So I have been dating this girl for about a year now and she is 19. Everything was great at first, then I started to get a weird vibe from her. She would always turn her phone off when we hung out, she didnt (and still hasnt) interduced me to her friends or family even though I have. I asked her how she felt about our relationship and what she wanted and after a heart-felt conversation, I felt like the communication was open and things were better. I still kept getting the same vibe though.
One night, I went through her phones text messages and it turns out she was flirting with an ex-booty call, and he was suggestion a "late night meeting." She told him she was seeing someone and put a frown with it. He replied "it didnt stop you before." Needless to say I broke things off for a while, but since I love her so much, I decided to give her another chance hoping she would change, as she promised she would.
Fast forward, I get the same vibe, I check the phone, same guy, similar flirting. So I call her out on it and she said she was feeling insecure and she wanted the attention and she wasnt going to follow through. (even typing this I feel like a dunce since its super obvious, yet I want to believe) So I told her that when she is feeling like that to just call me since I honestly care for her.
Now, to the point, the other night she says shes coming over, then is very late by the time she got to my place. I asked her where she was and she said she had to make some "pit stops" and left it at that. I should have asked her to go into more details but I didnt. That night when we had sex, she was more loose that normal, and when we had sex the next morning, she was her normal tightness.
I asked a close female friend her opinion and she said the girl was cheating. Also, since in other posts, a womans period cycle came into question, she is not near it in this case.
Now I know there are a lot of red flags, but the question still stands. Looking at it from an honest perspective, and not trying to jump to any conclusions, is it possible for her to just be more loose from time to time? Other than the obvious reasons why im concerned, this is a first, she is normally pretty tight, and this one time was more loose and it was normal. I will ask her tonight if she has been masturbating but I dont think she does as we are very sexually active together, usually having sex 7+ times a week. Please, im not looking for relationship advice here, I just want honest answers. Thanks!
Another possibility that came to my mind was...do you think your erection may not have been as large/hard? The size of my man's erection can vary from time to time....thus I can see where it might feel "looser" to the guy when in actuality it's the firmness/size variation of the guy....
Just a thought....
I'm in full agreement though with 40something...you can't tell by the feel of it if she's recently cheated.
Go with your gut overall and make the a decision....Ooppps that's advice....sorry....
If the girl literally had sex with a guy on the way to your house, you may be able to tell. No, the vagina does not become "loose" forever. But the muscles do stretch to allow penetration, not to mention all the interesting things the muscles do after intercourse, especially after orgasm.
But seriously dude, the FACT is you are doubting this girl. the FACT is you have caught her "flirting" with someone she has had sex with. The FACT is a person is 85% more likely to have sex with someone again once they do it once. The FACT is she has no reason to keep in contact with a "booty call" if she does not want "booty".
The FACT is you need to dump her like yesterdays garbage and get a girl that deserves the nice forgiving guy you seem to be.... oh wait that's also opinion
Did you measue the penis of the man your wife was cheating on you with?
I don't need to read assurances about "loosening up" to accomadate a larger man. the loosening up comes with arousal and relaxation instead of cleching the muscles in fear. the cervix moves up out of the way during arousal which is the elongation you speak of. it also moves depending on where a woman is in her menstrual cycle. there are times it can be reached with a finger. it still moves up out of the way. incidently 5-7 inches is fairly average, and is not "oversized" Since I am a short person and do not have 10 inches of space between the opening of my vagina and my uterus, as I have said certain positions and deep penetration were out of the question for me and the ex. is that sufficient experience for you? You can believe what you want, and I have no doubt you were cheated on, but a vagina does not become "loose" from having had sex. Yes I know there are both men and women who believe that it does...... but that doesn't make it true. I also never said OPs woman who is texting and flirting with other men has never cheated.
Well I'm really cut and dry!!! Whether you wanna hear it or not you should def. drop her the fact that you look thru her phone should def. say i deserve better!!!!
Im just going to hit you with some facts. Women do expand and it takes some time for your opening to return to normal size. All these folks saying that doesnt happen are in my personal opinion mistaken. If she did cheat and the other guy was bigger and you two had sex the same night it is possible for you to feel the difference. Often times women sit in extremely hot bathes to shrink their opening back down to size. For example think about this it takes on average a woman 6weeks after a baby b4 they can have sex. During this time its like your va jayjay is dragging the floor. lol
But honestly if you have to ask this queston o you're worried about what shes doing you deserve better and you owe it to yourself to find something better...
listen to this song- It Kills Me by Melanie Fiona you'll see wat i mean
Well good luck dont sweat it really what is done in the dark will come to light!

Scientists Turn Trash Into Test Tubes July 22, 2014 Researchers have stumbled on an ingenious idea: Use bubble wrap as a cheap test tube and petri dish.

Long distance running and football are hardly considered a logical mix in our athletic society. Most football coaches believe 50-yard sprints or gassers to be punishment for their players, who likely concur with them.
But we have an "exception to the rule" in our area with David Crane, the football coach at Southeast Whitfield High School. If his players complain about those sprints, he can invite them to join him for a much longer run.
On Friday, Oct. 14, Crane coached his Raiders in their homecoming football game. Then there was the usual post-game activity which keeps coaches from going home early.
"I got to bed about 1:30," he said. "I obviously did not get that much rest before the race."
That race, the Dalton Red Carpet half marathon, occurred 6 1/2 hours later at 8 a.m. The 13.1-mile event, which was in its second year, started and ended near the Whitfield County Courthouse in downtown Dalton.
"This was the longest race that I'd ever done. Never in a million years did I ever have thoughts about a half marathon. In high school, I was not a runner. I played football and wrestled," said Crane, who spent his high school days in Seneca, S.C.
What was the coach's game plan as he toed the starting line?
"My first goal was to survive," he said. "Then it was to break two hours. With some pretty good training I'd had, I thought that I might could run between 1:50 and 1:55."
Crane, who has done a limited number of shorter races over the past half dozen years, used common sense with a conservative pace early in the half marathon.
"In the middle third of the race, I started feeling better and better," he said. "I've done that in 10K and 5K races. I ran a relatively slow 8:40 on the first mile."
Crane completed his initial half marathon race in an excellent one hour, 47 minutes, 50 seconds — well under his goal. He was 67th of 337 finishers, or in the top 20 percent, while averaging 8:13 per mile.
"I felt good after it was over," he said. "I felt a little bit better than I'd thought. I felt great emotionally."
Crane hardly had time for the usual post-race bantering. Football intervened, with his 10-year-old son, Matthew, playing a 10 a.m. youth league game at Valley Point.
"I got over there about 10 after 10," Crane said. "I was pulling up as he was taking off on his first of three touchdown runs. It was his best game."
As the head coach of a high school football team, distance training did not easily fit into his schedule. He also had family — wife Elizabeth, the Southeast girls basketball coach, and daughter Bailey, 9, in addition to Matthew — to consider.
"In the afternoons during planning periods, I was usually able to work in some runs about 1:30 or 2," Crane said. "It was before practice. I'm not a morning person. Too, I wanted to be home to help get my kids ready. Elizabeth let me get my runs in. I tried to run three or four days a week, sometimes five. I ran between 25 and 30 miles a week, with a long run of 13.5 miles. With more time in the summer, I was able to do 35 a week."
People who had not seen Crane since the 2010 football season might not have recognized him at the start of this campaign.
"I've lost 40 pounds," he said of dropping from 200 to 160 pounds on a 5-foot-7-inch frame. "It's been good weight to lose through the running."
Crane said he urged several coaches to do the shorter 5K at the Red Carpet event.
"They could have done that," he said. "However, they declined."
He did not bother to urge any football players to negotiate the 3.1-mile distance. After all, that is much farther than those 50-yard gassers.
"I'm doing about 15 miles a week now," Crane said. "I might do a short race or two before the end of the year and maybe a half marathon somewhere next spring."
He has logged personal best times of 22:40 and 50:45 for the 5K and 10K races, respectively.
Since the marathon is considered the ultimate by many distance runners, could that be a goal for him?
"It's way in the back of my mind," Crane answered with a chuckle. "I don't want to allow myself to think about it."
• CHARITY RUN: When the 24th annual Carpet Capital 10-miler occurs on Dec. 10 in Varnell, all proceeds are earmarked this time for Lindsey Metcalf, the former Varnell mayor.
Metcalf is recuperating from a mowing accident at Atlanta's Shepherd Center, a hospital that specializes in treatment of spinal cord and brain injuries. Dalton's Saul Raisin was treated there when he returned to the United States following an accident during a professional cycling race in France in 2006.
Karen and Mitchell Hayes, Metcalf's daughter and son-in-law, are members of the sponsoring Carpet Capital Running Club. This event is Georgia's lone certified 10-mile race.
• HOLIDAY RACE: Runners will get the holiday spirit for the annual Silver Bell Sprint 5K, scheduled for Dec. 2.
As usual, bells will be ringing from various shoes on this Friday night race that starts and finishes at City Park School in downtown Dalton.

Orange County sheriff's deputies helped prevent a tragedy Sunday night on the Santa Margarita Parkway Bridge when a 58-year-old woman threatened to jump to her death.
OCSD received a call about 7 p.m., and Deputy Bart Epley arrived on the scene less than two minutes later.
The woman, who had been located by her family but was not responding to their pleas, had one foot on the railing of the bridge and one on the sidewalk.
However, under the coaxing of Epley, she returned completely to the sidewalk and walked to him. She was later taken to Mission Hospital for a mental health evaluation.
"The Sheriff's Department is pleased we were in a position to help this family in a time of need," said Lt. Brian Schmutz, chief of police services in Rancho Santa Margarita. "Fortunately we were able to respond quickly and make a difference tonight in this woman's life, as well as her family's."
The family called 911 at 7:02 p.m., and incident took very little time. The bridge was not closed, although it has been during prolonged negotiations in the past.
It's the second time this year a potential jumper was coaxed to safety by sheriff's deputies on the Santa Margarita Parkway Bridge.
Deputies twice made physical saves over the summer. A jumper was grabbed off the Tijeras Creek Bridge on Antonio Parkway near Canada Vista Park, and a teenager was grabbed and pulled over the protective fencing by deputies atop the Banderas Bridge.
In September, a 56-year-old Lake Forest woman was found a few days after she apparently jumped from the Santa Margarita Parkway Bridge, which rises about 63 feet above Trabuco Creek near Alicia Parkway.
Only one person out of eight has survived the fall from the bridge, but he took his own life a year later by jumping off the Oso Parkway bridge in Las Flores.
In October, the City Council of Rancho Santa Margarita began considering new options to prevent people from jumping off its bridges.
