Happy Christmas or anything else you are celebrating. Here are a couple of tunes with a twist to get you into the holiday spirit.
The Hives joined up with Cyndi Lauper a few years back to release what is the ultimate anti-christmas anthem. It works a treat although Miss Lauper's transition from just a girl who just wants to have fun to "going down on your mother" is pretty extreme. I blame The Hives.
Before Braille are an Arizona band who unleashed a string of amazing releases in the middle of the 00's. Remaining largely under the radar "Merry Christmas, I'm cheating" showcases frontman David Jensen's knack for a melody and sharp lyrical wit.

Akamaru (赤丸, Akamaru) is a nin-dog (忍犬, ninken) from Konohagakure's Inuzuka clan. He is Kiba Inuzuka's partner, as well as his best friend and companion.
At some point, while Kiba was still in the Academy, his mother, Tsume Inuzuka, entrusted him with Akamaru. Although Akamaru almost immediately urinated on Kiba's face, much to his mother and sister's amusement,[5] the two became close regardless.
Akamaru has been described as active and devoted.[6] This can be seen from his interactions with people especially his best friend and companion Kiba whom he has always been with since the two met. They often spend their time going on walks, or more accurately, running through trees chasing one another. His devotion is most often seen when Kiba is hurt in battle, Akamaru will immediately run to his side.
In Part I Akamaru was a small puppy with white fur, and resembles a Great Pyrenees, regularly carried on Kiba's head or inside his jacket. Akamaru's eyes are usually squinted, appearing closed, and he has a dark brown nose, as well as dark brown patches on his ears and a dark outline around his mouth. His fur on top of his head is styled to somewhat resemble a mohawk. Whenever Akamaru ingests soldier pills his fur turns red and he becomes more feral, which is why he was named Akamaru (赤丸) "Aka" meaning "red", and "maru" being a common ending for male names in Japan.
In Part II, Akamaru has grown into a full-sized adult large-breed dog. His size is such that Akamaru can now have Kiba ride on his back comfortably. Despite this, Kiba claimed he failed to notice due to the amount of time they spend together. Apart from his size, his general appearance has remained the same.[7]
Akamaru's heightened senses, such as smell and hearing, along with Kiba's ability to communicate with him, makes him a powerful ally for gathering and sharing information. He can 'sense' chakra with his nose, which allows him to judge an enemy's strength. In combat, Akamaru often takes Kiba's form (albeit having a much more feral appearance) using the Beast Human Clone technique, or combining with Kiba into a single entity for more devastating attacks. Akamaru also makes use of the Dynamic Marking technique- urinating on a target with great accuracy, allowing either Kiba or himself to easily track the target by scent. This is especially useful when they are fused together.
He has also been shown to be adept at setting traps such as explosive tags on his own.[8] Akamaru is also proficient in using other of his clan's technique such as the Passing Fang and Fang Passing Fang where either he alone, or with Kiba spin at ferocious speed and deliver many powerful beast-like attacks when contact is made with the target.
Akamaru has not been known to talk like some other ninken, but did speak briefly at the end of a special new years episode in the anime.[9]
Part I
Chūnin Exam Arc
Akamaru helped Kiba cheat in the first test, sitting on his head to keep an eye out for proctors and to get information from other exam takers. On their way to the tower during the second test, Kiba had the group stop to investigate Gaara's encounter with Team Shigure. Akamaru was immediately frightened by sensing the strength of Gaara's chakra, and was traumatised by seeing Gaara brutally kill all three Ame genin.
Akamaru fought alongside Kiba against Naruto Uzumaki in the exam preliminaries. He was considered a ninja tool rather than an additional combatant, and was thus permitted to fight alongside Kiba. While Akamaru gave Naruto some difficulty, especially after he transformed into a clone of Kiba, Naruto was able to use Akamaru to trick Kiba, first transforming into Akamaru and coming out of the smoke bomb to ambush him. After Kiba used the Beast Human Clone technique, Naruto turned into Kiba to prevent Kiba from attacking him, and when Kiba saw through his plan, Naruto transformed into Akamaru to make him think that he had hit Akamaru. Kiba then punched Akamaru, believing him to be Naruto.
In the finals, Akamaru was knocked out along with Kiba after Kabuto Yakushi, disguised as an ANBU member, healed Hinata Hyūga. In the anime, Akamaru attempted to warn Kiba about Kabuto, having recognised who Kabuto was. However, Kabuto used his medical ninjutsu and knocked Kiba out. What happened to Akamaru was left unknown, as Kabuto didn't come near him but he still passed out.
Invasion of Konoha Arc
Akamaru can be seen with Kiba and the other villagers at the Third Hokage's funeral.
Sasuke Retrieval Arc
Over time, Kiba and Akamaru developed Dynamic Marking and Human Beast Combination Transformation: Double-Headed Wolf together. In the mission to retrieve Sasuke, Kiba and Akamaru remained with the group until they retrieved the container, but an explosive tag blew them and Sakon and Ukon into a canyon. Kiba and Akamaru initially struggled against the brothers, and Akamaru realised that they must use Double Wolf Fang. Kiba was hesitant, given the large amount of chakra needed, which would render them vulnerable if they missed. Akamaru bit him on the hand, and Kiba, realising that Akamaru saw him as pathetic, decided to take the risk. The attack severely wounded Sakon and Ukon, but they blocked the last attack with a Rashōmon barrier, and Akamaru was injured protecting Kiba from their counter-attack, but managed to urinate in Sakon's eyes at the same time. When Ukon began taking over Kiba's body, he stabbed himself in the stomach in an attempt to kill Sakon to prevent himself from being taken over and harming Akamaru. Kiba attempted to escape with Akamaru, and, after Sakon and Ukon caught up with them, Kankurō arrived and killed both of them.
Kiba and Akamaru's injuries took some time to heal. Kiba, not wanting Akamaru to suffer that much again, vowed to improve himself.
Pre-Shippūden Filler Arcs
Akamaru accompanied Kiba on his missions with Naruto in the fillers. In the Impostor Arc, his presence was used as Kiba's proof of being the real Kiba, as, while his impostor could imitate his face, he could not replace Akamaru.
In Naruto episode 184, Akamaru was infected with a toxin that caused him to go berserk. When he attacked some ANBU members who were training, the order was given to have him taken into custody. As Hana attempted to make a cure for Akamaru, Kiba smuggled his dog out of the village and escaped, having heard that Akamaru might need to be put to sleep, but Akamaru continued to lose control of himself. By the time Naruto and Hana caught up with Kiba, Akamaru had turned into a giant version of himself, and attacked anyone near him. Kiba hesitated in the face of the possibility that Akamaru might die, but, after Naruto and Hana's attempt to pin Akamaru down and administer the antidote failed, Kiba apologised to Akamaru while standing still as Akamaru leapt at him. Kiba was severely injured, but managed to inject Akamaru with the antidote, and noted that Akamaru had tried his best to avoid killing him.
Part II
Sasuke and Sai Arc
When Naruto met Kiba while looking for team-mates, he noticed that Akamaru was much larger, especially given that Kiba was now riding on him rather than having him sit on his head. Naruto asked Kiba to join his team for a mission, and even proposed having Akamaru go with him without Kiba, but Kiba refused the suggestion.
Twelve Guardian Ninja Arc
When Team Yamato returned from the Fire Temple with a young monk named Sora, Sora quickly made it known that he didn't care what any living thing thought of him. He quickly got into a staring contest with Akamaru, to which Kiba became annoyed at. When Furido and his men attacked the Leaf Village, Akamaru demonstrated that his new size also helped considerably in battle, as he was able to take down several zombies without transforming.
Three-Tails Arc
When Kakashi was ordered to investigate the latest whereabouts of Orochimaru, Team Kurenai was assigned to work with him due to their tracking skills. When they managed to find Orochimaru's hideout, they triggered a trap that destroyed the base. Fortunately, Akamaru's nose was able to find a way out in time. Later, Akamaru began to have trouble concentrating due to a high-frequency sound. It was through this that the team realised that they were being spied on by bats. When the enemy ambushed them and rendered their sense of smell helpless with a smokescreen, Akamaru convinced Kiba to try their beast-like taijutsu to blow away the smoke.
Soon, the team found themselves being attacked by Guren. There, Kiba and Akamaru again worked together to fight off her attacks. After sensing their enemy's new overwhelming might, Akamaru saved Kiba by digging into the ground and hiding them in a pit.
Itachi Pursuit Arc
After it was decided that the best way to find Sasuke was to find Itachi Uchiha, Akamaru and Kiba later assisted Naruto in searching for either of the Uchiha brothers, but they were unable to reach Sasuke in time and returned home.
Tsuchigumo Kinjutsu Arc
Main article: Tsuchigumo Kinjutsu Arc
Invasion of Pain Arc
When Pain invaded Konoha, Kiba and Akamaru joined Kiba's mother and Kuromaru in fighting the Preta Path. Later, during the aftermath of the struggle, he appeared with Kiba riding him to warn Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi that Danzō had been appointed as the Sixth Hokage and had just given the order permitting ninjas to dispose of Sasuke as a missing-nin.
Konoha History Arc
After Kiba had signed up to be the village's messenger, he and Akamaru are seen delivering packages and messages to the villagers.
Five Kage Summit Arc
When Konoha 11 has decided to eliminate Sasuke for his crimes and to prevent him from sinking any lower, Sakura decided to tell Naruto herself, with Akamaru, Kiba, Sai, and Lee accompanying her. They headed for the Land of Iron, but Sakura denied the truth from Naruto, and the group left to find Sasuke. Sakura managed to use a powerful sleeping gas bomb to knock out the others, including Akamaru. Kakashi later finds them sleeping in the middle of the path, and moved them to the side before leaving for the bridge where Sasuke and Sakura are. Akamaru wakes up from being smoke bombed by Sakura and returns to Konoha.
He later accompanies Kiba as the Konoha 11 speak about what they would do about the looming threat that Sasuke Uchiha posed to the safety of the villages and the relative peace that they had.
Chikara Arc

Adventures at Sea Arc
Main article: Adventures at Sea Arc
Shinobi World War Arc
Along with his partner, Kiba, Akamaru was assigned to the Fifth Division of the Allied Shinobi Forces during the Fourth Shinobi World War. He and a team of shinobi are later sent to back up the Second Division. Akamaru and Kiba attacked the White Zetsu Army clones with their Fang Passing Fang technique ripping the enemy to shreds. The two later regrouped with Neji, Hinata and Shino after the attacking White Zetsu Army clones are wiped out — seemingly exhausted. Akamaru then stood by as Kiba tried to get an exhausted Neji to go to the medical compound for treatment. As Kiba lectured Neji about overusing his Byakugan, Neji responded to Akamaru instead of Kiba, confirming just how strained his eyesight was. Finally backing down from the front that he was all right, Akamaru later carried Neji on his back as the trio relocated.
The next day, Akamaru alongside Kiba battled the transformed White Zetsu Army clones that had infiltrated their ranks. In the anime, the battle turns more personal when the Sound Four ninja are also summoned to the battlefield. Kiba and Akamaru face off again against Sakon and Ukon. With there improved skills, Kiba and Akamaru are able to completely plough through Sakon and Ukon defences and defeat them. However, their victory is short-lived, as the ninja twins engulf the four of them in a strange technique. Akamaru's body was left in a comatose state while his soul was sent to a new location where it was reanimate within a large barrier. Inside, the inhabitants are able to battle normal. However, the Sound Four inform their enemies that in time, their actual bodies' halted chakra flow will eventually cause them to die. In addition, killing the Sound Four will not undo the technique. Despite the initial stalemate, the Sound Four's enhanced Cursed Seals grow even stronger from their accumulated malice, quickly overwhelming the Konoha ninja. Seeing that, Shikamaru begins to intentionally provoke them, knowing that Naruto's new senses would pick up on it. Eventually, Naruto finds them and breaks through the barrier, allowing Inoichi, through a telepathic connection, to release the technique and restore Akamaru and the others to their bodies. Upon awakening, Akamaru thanks Shino for his efforts in save them.
Later, amidst the battles, Kiba warned Neji that Hinata was in trouble. Neji failed to save "Hinata" from an Iwa-nin, only for "Hinata" to be revealed as a White Zetsu Army clone. As Akamaru and Kiba continued toward the real Hinata, Kiba chastised Neji for going the wrong way, but before they could reach Hinata, she was saved by Naruto's shadow clone which had arrived on the battlefield. After a brief argument between Kiba, Naruto and Neji, they mobilised with Naruto to sift out the fake shinobi from the real ones.
Ten-Tails Revival Arc
Later heading out with the other members of the Allied Shinobi Forces to where the jinchūriki were, Akamaru and Kiba arrive on the battlefield and stood with the others to face their opposition. When the Alliance's counter-attack was launched, Akamaru and Kiba were buffeted by the fully matured Ten-Tails as it emerged from the hole it had been trapped in.
Later when Kurama had generated enough chakra, Naruto transferred some of it to Akamaru who afterwards, alongside Kiba, charged towards the Uchiha and the Ten-Tails where their combined efforts were able to separate the two Uchiha from the beast. When the Alliance was saved from the Ten-Tails' enormous Tailed Beast Ball, Akamaru's behaviour alerted them to the fact that Minato was a reincarnated shinobi. Though Minato waved down their suspicion telling them that he was on their side, Akamaru was later shocked to see Sasuke on the battlefield and even more so when he declared that he would become Hokage.
Video Games
Akamaru is a playable character in the following video games:
|Game name
|Japanese release
|English release
|Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2
|4 December 2003
|26 September 2006
|Naruto: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 3
|20 November 2004
|Naruto: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 4
|21 November 2005
Although he is a playable character in only a few games, Akamaru appears alongside Kiba in all of his video game appearances.
- The 'Aka' in Akamaru's name means the colour 'red', and 'maru' meaning 'perfection' or 'full circle' is a common suffix for Japanese male names. The reason for his name was explained by Kiba when Akamaru's fur turned red after eating a Military Rations Pill.
- In an omake segment that aired in Japan for New Year's, Kiba attempted to get Akamaru to talk, with little success. There are no indications that Akamaru even has the potential to speak, other than the fact that other ninken can.
- Interestingly, Naruto was first published in a segment of Weekly Shonen Jump known as "Akamaru Jump".
- Akamaru and Naruto have the same seiyū, Junko Takeuchi. However, they have separate English voice actors.
- During an interview, Kishimoto was asked which character he would like to see get a spin-off. Possibly as a joke, Kishimoto simply replied "Akamaru".
- Akamaru and Kiba share the same birthday.
- According to the databook(s):
- Akamaru wishes to fight Kuromaru.
- Akamaru's favourite food is the special dog food Kiba makes.

Two lawmakers of the opposition Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo, who are nursing their machete wounds sustained in an attack in Mwanza Region on Sunday have accused the police of colluding with gangs of thugs in the assault.
The allegations were raised yesterday by Ilemela legislator Highness Kiwia and Ukerewe MP Salvatory Machemli when this reporter visited them at the Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) where they are admitted.
The attack was conducted at Ibanda village, Ilemela District at around 2am.
The two MPs were among eight victims who incurred injuries from the assaulters, and later on Sunday flown to Dar es Salaam for further medical attention.
Recounting the incident, Kiwia said he received a message from the party's red-guards notifying him over the possibility of some people bribing their agents at Ibanda village where preparations for the councillors' by-election was to be held.
The guards, he said, had told him that he should however verify the matter with the police before visiting the area.
"I decided to go to the area immediately where I saw a packed white Land Cruiser, with 19 people on board armed with axes, gun sprays, hammers, swords, among others weapons," Kiwia, who was the party's campaigns' coordinator, said.
"I realised that I was not in a safe place, so I informed the Officer Commanding District (OCD) that I had been hijacked. I also called Nyamagana legislator Ezekia Wenje but was nowhere to be seen. Finally I called Ukerewe MP Salvatory Machemli and asked him to come with the police to rescue me," he said.
Machemli arrived after 40 minutes without the police.
However, even though when the police arrived latter, they could not rescue them from the attacks, he said.
He claimed that the gangs who were accompanied by followers of the ruling party, attacked Machemli's car and asked him to hand over his pistol to them.
After they had attacked Machemli they threw him to the standing police van.
"It was then that things began to turn sour on my side when the gangs surrounded my car as they told me that my lifetime was approaching an end," he claimed.
"Before they attacked me they broke the mirror of my car and sprayed me with a certain chemical making me lose control. Later I was thrown out of the vehicle as the police were watching. Lucky enough I escaped them and entered the police's van where I saw Machemli bleeding," he said.
For his part, Machemli alleged that despite asking for support from police who were just next to him, they only stood insitu as if nothing had happened.
Expressing his disappointment on the police force he said: "If a government official can so easily be assaulted in front of the police what about a common man?"
Machemli claimed that Mwanza Regional Police Commander Liberatus Barlow was wrongly informed by his juniors on the entire incident, saying the same was the news that appeared in the media.
He said the police did not fire any bullets to scare off the gangs though it was reported in the media that they did so in order to rescue the lawmakers.
In another development, the MPs have undergone medical check-ups at the MNH.
According to Kiwia, the services provided were good, saying his condition was improving.
"I thank the doctors for the services give, I am now waiting for the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to determine the scope and effects of the cavity caused on my head," he said noting that the examination follows yesterday's X-ray checks on his head and chest.
Ezelina Zambi, MHN senior nursing officer II told reporters that the legislators' conditions were progressing well and that they would probably be discharged today.
Meanwhile, Kiwia said on the fateful day, he lost 800,000/- , wallet, bank card and his national assembly identity card.
For his part, Machemli said he lost 65,000/-, a wallet, bank card and his parliament identity card.
When contacted for comments, the Mwanza Regional Police Commander Liberatus Barlow refuted the claims saying the matter was a criminal offence and not a political issue.
Other than using ammunition to rescue the injured, the commander said, the police forces were the very people who helped the wounded.
"What the two MPs are saying amounts to disrespect of the police force who rescued them," he said.
"Police officers are not criminals. They are the ones who saved all the people who were attacked. Tomorrow, I will issue a statement on the incident. I would also suggest that when the two MPs recover they should come and help the police force to identify the suspects," he said.
The CCM Publicity and Ideology Secretary Nape Nnauye, for his side, said the party is wishing the victims good health.
"We condemn all who caused the trouble and harm to the people," Nnauye said.

Jean Prouvé RAW Special Edition
Posted by Cynthia | Filed under Musings
The iconic Jean Prouvé furniture collection, seventeen design classics which embrace the essence of Jean Prove's work, have been reinterpreted in a new series titled Prouvé RAW. In a collaboration with Vitra, the Prouvé family, and GStar have created a stunning collection that will be available for purchase at Vitra retailers for one year.
It might seem like an unlikely pair; GStar a high design denim company, and Vitra, a high end furniture company. But, the relationship is grounded in the common belief in expression of function, inherent beauty of the natural material and an architectural and three dimensional approach to product study. A hands on process, G-star's philosophy is 'Just the Product'. Seems to me an appropriate point of connection, with the work of Prouvé'.
"Jean Prouvé's designs use a language linked to necessity and construction while simultaneously giving technically innovative objects a poetic playfulness. Generally described as one of the greatest French designers of the 20th century, Jean Prouvé (1901-1984) was an architect, an engineer and a passionate teacher, a prolific inventor, a visionary manufacturer and the founder of the Ateliers Prouvé, which was for thirty years the factory as well as a laboratory for his experimental architecture projects and innovative furniture designs. But above all Jean Prouvé was a hands-on "constructeur", who never stopped experimenting with his designs, and was always adapting them to the spirit of the times." Vitra
These are beautiful, collectible objects. I believe they maintain the spirit of the original furniture pieces, while introducing an interesting, albeit edgy quality. Check them out, and let me know what you think.

HIPAA - General Information
The Administrative Simplification provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA, Title II) require the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to adopt national standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, health plans, and employers. To date, the implementation of HIPAA standards has increased the use of electronic data interchange. Provisions under the Affordable Care Act of 2010 will further these increases and include requirements to adopt:
- operating rules for each of the HIPAA covered transactions
- a unique, standard Health Plan Identifier (HPID)
- a standard and operating rules for electronic funds transfer (EFT) and electronic remittance advice (RA) and claims attachments.
In addition, health plans will be required to certify their compliance. The Act provides for substantial penalties for failures to certify or comply with the new standards and operating rules.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Cam Newton cracks a knowing smile when asked about his team's prospects this season.
Like many of his teammates, Newton has a hard time suppressing his enthusiasm when it comes to talking about what's happening these days in Carolina.
There's an undercurrent of confidence here after the Panthers (No. 20 in the AP Pro32) finished strong in 2011, winning four of their last six games.
Newton tells The Associated Press "the whole vibe around this team" and "everybody is anticipating something great is going to happen."
He's not the only one thinking that way.
Center Ryan Kalil believes the Panthers (No. 20 in the AP Pro32) are going to win the Super Bowl -- and took out of full-page advertisement in a newspaper to back it up.

Heather Corinna replies:
I am having a problem orgasming, like most women. I am 24 years old. I have tried masturbating myself thinking it will be more relaxing and easier, but its not. The problem I am having is I get so close, but I can't get all the way. I start to feel pleasure, then I feel my muscles start to tense up and spaz a little, but then it gets PAINFUL that I jerk away and can't make it to the orgasm. I don't know how to get past this painfulness or if it's normal. I have tried so hard to get through the pain, but its too much. This is starting to ruin my relationship with my boyfriend. Please help me.
It's not actually accurate to suggest most women have trouble reaching orgasm.
A majority of women do have trouble reaching orgasm through vaginal intercourse and simply cannot orgasm that way. It's also true that many women have more trouble having orgasm with a partner than they do getting to orgasm by themselves: 75% of men but only 29% of women always have orgasms with their partner (Laumann, Gagnon, Michael, Michaels, 1994). A majority of women also don't consistently reach orgasm, especially from partnered sex: sometimes it'll happen, other times it won't.
But most women are orgasmic and can reach orgasm: of statistics available, the highest number usually stated for women who simply can't reach orgasm (or, more accurately, who haven't at the point they're studies) are 15%. Most women do experience orgasm. The majority of women also report they do with partners: among women currently in a partnered relationship, 62% say they are very satisfied with the frequency/consistency of orgasm (Davis, Blank, Hung-Yu, & Bonillas, 1996). However, it is safe to say that for many male-partnered women, it can take time to learn what really works for them, to be assertive enough to express that to male partners, and then to find male partners who will create a sex life with them that includes what they really like (which more often than not has little to do with the vagina all by itself) and need for sex to both be really satisfying, and to reach orgasm. There also is often a learning curve with sexual pleasure and orgasm, and it can take some people longer to "learn" sex and masturbation, and how to reach orgasm, than it can others. There is also a learning curve for partners, and that can take longer if the partners they're with don't communicate with them, or if when they do, those partners don't listen and respond well.
One of the tricky things about questions like this, where you say you're not reaching orgasm is that I can't know if you really aren't. You express some things here that make it sound like you may actually be reaching orgasm. You express feeling building pressure and pleasure, then a feeling of tenseness followed by spasms, then feeling hypersensitive. That's how a lot of people express orgasm feels like to them, and it's typical for the genitals to feel hypersensitive after orgasm.
I know a lot of people say "you'll just know" when you have an orgasm. Often, I think that's true. However, I also know from years of doing this work and talking to young women that it's clear some women are reaching orgasm and don't "just know." Additionally, it's clear that often women's expectations of what orgasm will feel like can be really off-base.
Sometimes, women expect that when they orgasm, they'll behave in certain ways, like what female orgasm is presented as looking like in mainstream movies or pornography, with a lot of thrashing around or yelling. While that can happen sometimes, it doesn't always, and sometimes why it doesn't is because that's just not behavior that's consistent with a given woman's personality. For some women, orgasm is like that sometimes, but not at other times. Orgasm doesn't feel the same from day to day, or experience to experience: sometimes we have big, knee-knocking orgasms that give us a head rush and make us want to howl at the moon, while other times orgasm can feel like little more than a bump in the road, and we might even wonder if it happened at all, even though it actually did.
Many people expect that orgasm alone will make them feel satisfied with sex, but often, that isn't the case and isn't all a person needs to feel satisfied or satiated. In other words, when people report feeling satisfied or unsatisfied with sex, they're usually talking about more than orgasm, but about things like feeling really connected to a partner or their own body and mind, like feeling as if a bonafide adventure has been had, feeling they were able to let go of the daily stresses of life and get a mini-vacation via sex or masturbation, feeling their whole bodies and selves have really been explored and paid attention to, experiencing and seeing a partner's pleasure (not just orgasm), and other things like that.
Orgasm also is usually the shortest part of a sexual experience: on average, a single orgasm usually lasts but a handful of seconds. And if all any of us ever experienced with sex was orgasm, you can rest assured we'd likely feel highly unsatisfied.
One thing that concerns me is that you say this is starting to ruin your relationship with your boyfriend. Why? Whether or not you reach orgasm shouldn't have the potential to ruin a relationship, because the quality of your relationship shouldn't rely on anyone reaching orgasm. By all means, if your sexual relationship, as a whole, isn't satisfying for one or both of you, that can certainly put a real strain on things. But sexual satisfaction is about more than orgasm, and whether or not a sexual experience is satisfying for us or our partner may or may not have squat to do with orgasm. After all, sometimes we can orgasm from sex or masturbation that really didn't feel satisfying at all. If your boyfriend masturbates, he can probably tell you that sometimes orgasms are really pretty cheap: that now and then -- maybe even often -- he'll reach one quickly, without a satisfying experience of getting there or having orgasm being anything to write home about at all.
You didn't give me any information about what your sex life with your partner or yourself entails, or what it's like, overall, for the both of you. So, I want to pose a few questions for you to consider:
All of those kinds of things matter when it comes to reaching orgasm and also when it comes to both you and your partner feeling satisfied with sex and your sexual relationship. Often when people express they don't feel satisfied when a partner isn't reaching orgasm, that's because they think an orgasm "proves" that a) they, as a partner, are awesome and great in bed, and b) that sex felt very good for that partner. The trouble with that idea, if someone has it, is that as I've explained, reaching orgasm doesn't always mean any of those things. Sometimes it does, but sometimes it doesn't.
Because we feel full after eating a meal doesn't tell us much about if it was a good meal we really liked: the same holds true here.
Did you know that one of the most common reasons people don't orgasm is feeling pressure -- either from a partner or oneself -- TO orgasm? If you feel like a lot is riding on you reaching orgasm (and certainly, feeling like your whole relationship is is a heck of a lot), that all by itself is likely to make it mighty tough for you to reach orgasm. To boot, if during sex you're thinking at all "I'd better orgasm or else..." it's highly unlikely sex is going to be as enjoyable for you as it could be. That is a pretty serious buzzkill, and a mindset few people would find sexually exciting or arousing. If there's any one thing that has the greatest negative impact on people's sexual enjoyment and response, it's stress of any kind.
If you haven't yet been able to have sexual experiences, alone or with a partner, where you earnestly are able to feel relaxed, to just go with the flow without worrying, at all, about whether or not you come, it's safe to say we actually may know very little about what your sexual response is truly like. Without that kind of accepting, go-with-the-flow environment, none of us can really function properly sexually or enjoy ourselves as much as we could otherwise. Sex -- with ourselves, with anyone else -- should be about the whole of the experience, not just one part. Sex people enjoy tends to be process-oriented, not product-oriented: in other words, tends to be about people focusing on and flowing with all of their experience, in every moment, and feeling good and pressure-free in all those moments, not about trying to achieve some kind of end goal, like orgasm.
Here's what I suggest: for starters, take the fracking pressure off of both of you, and ask your partner to do the same. Talk with him about the things I have shared with you here. Let him know that you feel like your whole relationship is at risk because you can't reach orgasm, and that not only is likely to make it way tougher for you to get there, it's also likely making sex together a lot less enjoyable for both of you. Make clear you need for both of you two to let go of any attachment to orgasm, and that you need to know that orgasm does NOT have any bearing on the quality of your relationship. You might also point out that if he's stressing abut whether or not your orgasm, not only can that make sex less enjoyable for you, it's probably making it less enjoyable for him, too.
In these talks, it can help to ask WHY your orgasm is so important to him (or you). Is it about his self-esteem? If so, he needs to know it's not sound or fair for him to make your orgasm about him or his value as a person or lover: it's about you, it's just something he can be part of and share with you. Is it about him needing more assurance that you're enjoying yourself? If so, and if you truly have been enjoying yourself, then you can work on communicating that more clearly to him. It is important to partners invested in everyone experiencing pleasure to know that's happening and some folks aren't always so great at communicating that. Orgasm doesn't communicate that as well as words do or as being more active and mutually engaged in bed does. You two may find that you just saying "Wow, that feels amazing" more often when something does, or asking him to do something you really like is what he really needs to feel satisfied in this respect, rather than you reaching orgasm.
If you have NOT been deeply enjoying yourself, then you two can talk about what you both can change or try so that you can get there. But do try and get to the heart of why you reaching orgasm is so important to him and/or you that you feel you not getting there is ruining your relationship. You may well even discover orgasm isn't actually the answer you both think it is, and that one or both of you wants or needs something else entirely.
Don't forget: you also need to take the pressure off on your end. When you're masturbating, make it about feeling good, orgasm or not. Do what feels good, don't do what doesn't. That's 100% you-time, after all. You may also need to remind yourself that your orgasm isn't proof of anything, other than a functioning nervous system. You not having orgasm for now, or at any given time doesn't mean you're not a sexual person, doesn't mean there is something wrong with your body, doesn't mean you're immature, less female or human or anything like that. All it means is that a given time, you're not a person reaching orgasm, probably because you haven't discovered or experienced all the conditions you need to get there yet, and that's okay. You have all the time in the world to get there: there's not a time limit on this.
Do also make sure your expectations or orgasm are realistic. Like I said before, you may have been experiencing orgasm, but it's just not like what you've expected. It could be that to date, if you have had orgasms, they just haven't been particularly big ones: sometimes they're just not, and sometimes, we're just not yet at the place in our sexual lives and process where we have more intense orgasms. Sometimes people also expect orgasm to feel like something much bigger than it often actually does.
For sure, orgasms can feel really great, but they don't usually feel greater than the sexual experience that led up to them. What's most important is that the sex you are having all feels good and is what you want while it is going on. If it is, you're both more likely to orgasm and feel good about it even when you don't.
In the case that you've been getting super-close to orgasm, but haven't quite gotten there, you might also need to push the reset button on all of this and take a few steps back. Maybe you two have gone to genital sex too fast, before you took enough time to explore each others whole bodies and to develop a dynamic between the two of you that is physically and emotionally playful and comfortable and sans-pressure. Even if what you've described here is you having orgasm, if it feels like a whole lot of nothing much, it may be because you are moving to your genitals too soon: extending the time it takes to get to that can often result in bigger, more satisfying orgasm for people of all genders. You might also try doing something you know helps you to relax before any kind of sex starts, be that taking a hot bath or a long walk, doing some stretches or yoga, dancing around the room, listening to music that makes you feel chill, deeply connecting with your partner emotionally by talking or snuggling or something like that. A lot of folks frame foreplay as genital sexual activities we do that aren't intercourse, but since those things are also sex (and the kinds of sex women are most likely to reach orgasm from, no less), the kind of stuff I just mentioned can really be more of what foreplay is about.
Lastly, do think about the sexual dynamics between the two of you and as the dynamics of your relationship overall. If a relationship earnestly could be broken or ruined because someone isn't reaching orgasm, that doesn't suggest it's a very good relationship or one you feel all that secure in. Is this really the right partner for you? Are you two really a good sexual and emotional fit together? Might you need to work out some bigger issues right now that can be impacting your sex life and sexuality, like not really trusting someone will stay with you if you don't perform sexually in a way they want? Feeling sexually satisfied and/or reaching orgasm is rarely about just "finding the right person," but being with the wrong kind of person, partner, in the wrong dynamic, or trying to be in a sexual relationship with someone who just isn't a good fit for us sexually absolutely can often be a big barrier to pleasure, satisfaction and/or orgasm.
If you read all of this and the links I'll give you below, and give these kinds of things a real shot for a few months and still don't find any of this is any different, wither by yourself or with a partner, then you can also check in with your doctor about this. Some physical or mental health conditions or issues can absolutely have an impact on how much we enjoy sex, our sexual response, and orgasm. For instance, depression or anxiety, diabetes, MS, hormonal issues, vaginal or vulval pain disorders, certain medications (including hormonal methods of birth control) are some things that can inhibit orgasm. So, if none of my advice winds up helping to foster some changes, you might want to check in to see if something else is afoot you need to address.
Okay? Here are some extra links for you, and I hope this answer and the following links can help. I'd just like to give you one more reminder to just cut yourself a break, ask for your partner to do the same, and put your focus on enjoying yourselves, full-stop, and take it off the few seconds of orgasm which just can't offer you more than pleasure through all of sex and feeling okay about whatever happens during the whole process.

Initial treatment of a deviated septum may be directed at managing the symptoms of the tissues lining the nose, which may then contribute to symptoms of nasal obstruction and drainage. Your doctor may prescribe:
Medications are only a temporary fix, however, and won't correct a deviated septum.
If you still experience symptoms despite medical therapy, you may consider surgery to correct your deviated septum (septoplasty).
Septoplasty is the usual way to repair a deviated septum. During septoplasty, your nasal septum is straightened and repositioned in the center of your nose. This may require your surgeon to cut and remove parts of your septum before reinserting them in the proper position.
The level of improvement you can expect with surgery depends on the severity of your deviation. Symptoms due to the deviated septum — particularly nasal obstruction — often completely resolve. However, any accompanying nasal or sinus conditions affecting the tissues lining your nose — such as allergies — can't be cured with only surgery.
In some cases, surgery to reshape the nose (rhinoplasty) is performed at the same time as septoplasty. Rhinoplasty involves modifying the bone and cartilage of your nose to change its shape or size or both.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Stokley was voted by fans as the DISH Unbeatable Value Player of the Year, it was announced.
The inaugural award, sponsored by DISH, recognizes a player that exceeds fan expectations. Whether a free agent or draft choice, a low-profile acquisition or a backup player that takes on the role of unsung hero, the award epitomizes the unbeatable value DISH is committed to providing its customers.
Stokley was signed by the Broncos last April and went on to play 15 games (9 starts) for Denver in the regular season, catching 45 passes for 544 yards (12.1 avg.) with five touchdowns. He became just the 10th player in NFL history to record 40 receptions and five touchdowns in a season at age 36 or older.
The 14-year veteran also caught three passes for 27 yards (9.0 avg.) and a score in Denver's AFC Divisional Playoff Game against Baltimore to join Keenan McCardell as the only players in league annals to record a postseason receiving score with four different teams.
Stokley received 65 percent of the 3,621 votes cast by fans on DenverBroncos.com, beating out defensive end Derek Wolfe (13%), safety Mike Adams (8%), center Dan Koppen (75), linebacker Keith Brooking (5%), linebacker Danny Trevathan (3%) and safety Jim Leonhard (2%) for the honor.
One lucky fan who participated in the voting will received a football autographed by Stokley. Additionally, Stokley will receive a one-year subscription to one of DISH's satellite television programming packages.

Natalie DiBlasio and Haya El Nasser, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON -- When President Obama, Vice President Biden and their wives take their celebratory walk from the U.S. Capitol to the White House after being publicly sworn in to office on Monday, they will be followed for the entire mile by more than 8,800 people representing 58 groups, almost 200 animals, floats, high school bands, kids on unicycles, folk dancers and military units.
The Inaugural Parade marks the beginning of America's party and the real fun for the hundreds of thousands of people expected to line the route to enjoy the festivities.
What they can't see, they will hear as the Kamehameha Schools "Warrior" Marching Band from Hawaii passes by, or the United States Navy Band or the Palmview (Texas) High School Mariachi and Folkloric Group.
Yes, the parade marks the start of the biggest public inaugural bash. The viewing stands and bleachers along Pennsylvania Avenue have been in place for days. The parade will follow the Obamas and Bidens until they reach the reviewing stands at Lafayette Park, across from the White House.
"We have been in a lot of parades, but nothing like this," says Jon Cahill, director of the Gym Dandies Children's Circus that came from Scarborough, Maine, Sunday morning to participate in the parade. "It's like the Olympics of parades."
The circus will perform with kids as young as 9 and no older than high school seniors. Watch for 41 kids riding 6-foot unicycles.
Hargrove Inc. is building the floats for the 17th presidential inaugural parade in a row. The company started preparing before the election and spent 3,000 man-hours. Work will continue until the last minute, says Lana Ostrander, director of marketing and public relations for Hargrove.
Floats will include The Hawaii State Float, featuring a large volcano, to honor Obama's birthplace, and an Illinois State float, a nod to Michelle Obama's home state. There also will be Pennsylvania (Biden's birthplace) and Delaware (Jill Biden's birthplace and the Bidens' home) state floats.
Martin Luther King Day will be honored with The Martin Luther King, Jr. Float, The Civil Rights Movements Float and The Tuskegee Airmen Float (in tribute to the first African-American military aviators). The Inaugural "Our People, Our Future" Float is scheduled to be the last float in the parade.
Veteran announcer Charles Brotman will announce participants for the Obamas and Bidens as they reach the reviewing stands. It will be the 15h Presidential Inaugural Parade Brotman announces - every one since Truman. He told CBS that his favorite was Ronald Reagan's in 1981 because of all the Hollywood celebrities it brought.
"The President's Own" Marine Band has an even longer history than Brotman. It has been performing at inaugurations since Thomas Jefferson's in 1801.
"We are very, very excited to be here and be doing this," says Drum Major MGySgt (Master Gunnery Sergeant) William Browne. "Every inaugural is unique even though the ceremonies are all the same. It is such an honor and we are thrilled to death about it."
The Marine Band may have marched in scores of Inaugural Parades, but for many in the 99-piece band it's their first time.
"They are nervous, they are excited," Browne says. "They don't want to be the one out of alignment or the one whose horn freezes."
Many participants have the jitters.
"I'm most nervous about appearing on national television," says Drum Major Jeremy Black, with the 150-piece Georgia State University Marching Band. "I've performed in front of over 60,000 people live before, but that pales in comparison to knowing I could possibly be seen by millions of viewers all across America."

(KSDK Sports) -- NewsChannel 5's Katie Felts reports that Missouri is nearing a decision on its next offensive coordinator, and it will be a someone familiar to Tiger fans.
Felts reports that co-offensive line coach Josh Henson is expected to be promoted to offensive coordinator. No official word had been released by the university.
Henson would replace David Yost, who resigned last Monday. Missouri finished the season ranked 11th in offense in the 14 team Southeastern Conference, and had a losing record at 5-7.

The Department of Employment and Workforce said Friday that the state's jobless rate was 8.4 percent last month. That's a 0.2 percentage point drop from February, when South Carolina unemployment was 8.6 percent.
The state gained nearly 10,000 leisure and hospitality jobs as South Carolina ramps up for its busy tourist season. That industry has grown by more than 11,000 jobs since this time last year.
Over the last month, South Carolina also marked gains in professional and business services and government sectors, which both grew by more than 2,000 jobs each.
National unemployment also fell last month, from 7.7 percent to 7.6 percent.
