BRYAN, Texas – The fourth-ranked Texas A&M equestrian team (4-2, 0-2) hosts No. 1 South Carolina (3-0, 2-0 SEC) in the Aggies' first-ever home Southeastern Conference meet and the final show of the fall season, Friday at the Brazos County Expo Complex.
The meet will begin at 2 p.m. with equitation over fences and horsemanship competing simultaneously. Equitation on the flat and reining will follow at 4:15 p.m.
The Aggies are 3-0 at home this season and are on the hunt for their first SEC victory. Last weekend the team upended Fresno State at the BCEC with a 17-6 win over the Bulldogs. A&M swept the Most Outstanding Player (MOP) awards, bringing the season haul to 15 out of a possible 20, while the Aggies went 6-0 in equitation on the flat.
The top-ranked Gamecocks are fresh off an 11-8 upset victory at No. 1 Georgia that knocked the Bulldogs down to a No. 3 national ranking after sitting atop the chart since the preseason. SEC Over Fences Rider of the Month Emily Williams (5-0) and Aggie horsemanship rider Caroline Ammons (3-0) won't be the only undefeated riders at the meet as USC's Kimberly McCormack is 3-0 this year in the same event and Audrey Jewell and Layla Choate are 3-0 in reining.
The Aggies and Gamecocks have met eight times in the varsity equestrian format, with A&M holding a 5-3 edge. The teams last competed at the NCEA Championships in 2012 when the Aggies downed South Carolina, 6-2 in hunter seat and 4-3 in western on the way to a 10th and 11th national title for A&M.
The meet with the Gamecocks closes out fall competition as the Aggies will return to the Arena for a Feb. 2 meet at Oklahoma State. To learn more about Texas A&M equestrian, log on to AggieAthletics.com and follow @AggieEquestrian on Twitter.

WHY IS SHE FAMOUS: Beyonce was the frontwoman of the popular R&B group Destiny's Child, whose albums went platinum. She has now embarked on a solo career and even donned an afro to play Foxxy Cleopatra in Austin Powers in Goldmember.
WHY SHE IS DESIRABLE: Her entrance in Goldmember -- belting out just about every disco hit from "Shake your Booty" to "That's the Way I Like It," and busting a move all the while -- makes us wish it was 1977 all over again. Uh-huh, uh-huh.

text: How to Get the Most Horsepower for Your Money Buying a car on a budget doesn't mean you have to buy a budget car. We sorted through the available wheels at a variety of price ranges to find out which cars deliver the most horses for your money. Our conclusions: Get a Mustang. By Michael Frank Email Comments 0 Share Back 3 of 8 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next View Larger View Thumbnails $20-$25,000 Winner: Ford Mustang Coupe Once upon a time this was a hotly competitive genreback when there was such a thing as the "entry level" sports car. No more. The Americans rule this ring. At $22,995, the 305-hp V6 Mustang Coupe edges out the Camaro LS V6, not on sheer guts (the Camaro wins with 312 hp) but because it's a significantly lighter car (3450 pounds versus 3775 pounds for the Chevy). That gives the 'Stang an 11.3 pound-per-hp edge, which makes it feel a lot quicker turn to turn. Its 19 city/29 highway mileage is a bit better than the V6 Chevy's 17/28 mpg. Can't anyone else play in this space? Not really. The $21,380 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V muscles up 200 hp for less scratch than all other import compacts, but at 15.3 pounds per hp, it's weak sauce against the Americansand its 21/28 mpg can't even beat the more powerful Mustang on fuel economy. The new $22,975 2012 Civic Si musters 201 hp, has better fuel economy (22/31) and carries 14.3 pounds per hp, so that's probably your best bet if you want the balance of juice versus economy to lean toward the latter.

I like to present my "High Voltage ignited Plasma Bulb"
Step 1: The material
A Neon filled bulb (any type will do but I found out these fireballs are best)
Electronics from a disposal camera (how to modify see here: CLICK)
A potentiometer 200K
A handle for the poti (I used a foot contact of a bulb)
Some fittings made of copper and brass
A base plate made of wood
Step 2: Preparing the parts and mounting procedure
First I cut a round piece of wood and an other piece in same size from vulcan fibre.
I clued this together and mounted the potentiometer on his round plate.
As a knob to turn the poti I used a E27 bulb fitting. Inside the E27 I clued an E14 bulb fitting that fits exactly to the axis of the potentiometer.
On the last picture you can see the first mounting of the parts.
Step 3: Cabling and finish
The cabling is very easy:
You can see the battery case and the low voltage cabling running from the case to the switch and then to the electronics and back.
The high voltage cabling is easy as well. From the electronics to the middle contact ot the potentiometer than from one of the other potentiometer contacts the middle contact of the bulb. The other wire of the high voltage output runs to the big brass stand under-need the bulb.
If you switch the power on turn the potentiometer you will see this.
Last I mounted some brass screws around the poti knob and mounted the switch into the wooden stand.
Step 4: Finished
Lets have a look what´s happening if you touch the bulb.
So lets switch the lights off and play around....
You asked for a schematic. I`m sorry to say so but I´m not so good in drawing such a shematic but I found two very good drawings from the famous instructable member Plasmana. He is working with the same stuff of used one way cameras and his constructions follow directly the same way as the parts had been put together on the original board. So these drawings answer your questions perfectly. I took these pictures out of his very nice instructable about building the world smallest electronic shock. Instead of these loose ends for shocking you have to put the flickering bulb or cfl or nixie and so on ...... and that´s it! Hope this will help you.
With a great "Thank you" to Plasmana
Yours Aeon Junophor
In this instructable of mine
http://www.instructables.com/id/High-voltage-power-supply-for-Nixies-CFL-Neon-Gl/ you will find the answer to your question about the camera type I used.
The plasmabulb is very seldom and can be found at the internet. I orderd mine at a shop in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, but it was the last one... :-(
Hope this will help you
Yours Aeon junophor
I think this has to be my second favorite project of yours, the leader in my book is the http://www.instructables.com/id/Steampunked-nixie-tube-switch/
You´re a real friend!
Thanks for your carefully reading. Idon´t know why the title head gone lost, but now it is reapaired.
It great that you like my projects so much. I´ll just start another one which might be similiar to your wonderful dieselpunk lamp;-) This is also a very inspiring projct to me;-))
Keep it up
Yours Aeon Junophor
In my instructaable above I took a link to another steampunker: "Admiral Aaron von Ravensdale". We are together in a german steampunk community called "Rauchersalon" and exchange ther also our ideas and constructive tipps;-)))))
In his project:
Plasma Bulb with Clock Gear he already described the modification of this camera module please look at the step1 till step four.
(Hi Aaron thanks to your support)!!
or you read this line above again and click youself to this part.
"Electronics from a disposal camera (how to modify see here: CLICK)"
I am pleased by your idea to build this instructable
and I hope that my answer will help you
Yours Aeon Junophor
My bulb was running about nearly 20 hours in one turn and another time the batteries last for about 23 hours.
But if you take an converter eg from an old mobile or something else which transforms the 230 (110) Volts down to 3 Volts instead of using batteries it would be an alternative......
Yours Aeon Junophor
here is a link where you can find those valves . PVC won´t work because the valve hast to lead the electricity( cathode)! to close the circuit
It is als possible to order this valve in the US!!!!
Yours Aeon Junophor
It´s great that you want build such an light too ;-))))
If you look at the description of the first stepof this instructable, you will find an link called "CLICK" there it is shown all about modyfing the electronic.
The part which nests the bulb is an 2 inch straightway Y-type globe valve made of brass.
Hope this will help you;-))
With greetings

I really like your steam punk version as a use to desplay your floresent fireball bulb...
I have some vintage argon bulbs made by GE that glow purple and really have no idea as what i was going to do with them - other than set them up and photograph them.
After seeing what you've done i may go with trying something along your steam punk design so thanx for the insperation and an idea as what to do with my bulbs.
Here is the bulb i have in purple, (images courtesy of http://ledmuseum.candlepower.us)
i also have it in Red as well as a single orange one as well though i have no idea what gas is in them... they do look pretty cool when on...
again thanx for sharing and a desply idea for my bulbs.
However - according to this site:
The atmosphere inside the GE AR-1 is Argon and 10% Nitrogen and emmits UV.
The rated life of this argon lamp is 1000 hours to 50% output, much shorter than the 8000 hours of its neon equivalent.
Here is their main page:
check out the Discharge lamp section onthe main page of the above link ( down the page on the left) for some really cool looking bulbs that would be great to build a similiar project such as Junophor's instructable here presents.
As well here is a wiki page on discharge lamps that gives the gas with a picture example:
Wiki Gas Discharge Lamp
Very well done! I´m really interested and later on I, follow your hints but I´m sorry to say that my familily is needing me first because my wife has had an bad accident. So don`t worry that I will answer you all a little bit later;-))
Yours Aeon Junophor
If I`had such a lamp I would ignite it with this small electronic and create a total crazy, funny steampunkmachine around;.))
Congrets to this nice Lamp!!
I Think your idea is in my objects a little bit oversized. But if it works let me know.
Regards Aeon Junophor
If you need help drawing one I could lend a hand if the right information is provided.
I´ll try my best, but a friend of mine told me that he wants to draw it so we will show it as soon as possible,- promised.
I´dont know anyone with this name. No these are all my own ideas and creations. Only at the electronic stuff I got some help from my steampunk friends. Can you give me a hint to auma so I can see what you mean, maybe we´ve got nearly the same ideas
I`m really ab it overan by this mass of reactions. But I try to help. In the List of comments

Hi: 11° Lo:1° 7 day
9 to 5 - The Musical
New Alexandra Theatre
IF YOU'RE looking for an uplifting show that's different to the usual fare available at this festive time then you couldn't do any better than going to see "9 to 5" the amazing, new musical, direct from Broadway.
Based on the 70s movie, it highlights the daily struggles three, very different, women have trying to succeed in a 'man's world', while working for a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot.
Fortunes change when the ladies are pushed to their limits and events take an unexpected turn with life-changing consequences.
In addition to the popular title track, we are treated to a whole bunch of new songs, written especially for the show by the legendary singer songwriter, Dolly Parton, as well as several 'virtual' appearances from the southern belle throughout the performance.
A superb cast bring this story to life with great characters, incredible vocals and slick dance routines.
Jackie Clune, Amy Lennox and Natalie Casey deliver magnificent performances as the downtrodden, but ultimately triumphant, trio of Violet, Doralee and Judy, with stunning voices, brilliant storytelling and hilarious comedic moments, while the impressive Ben Richards is perfectly detestable as their nemesis, Franklyn J. Hart.
The nation's favourite, Bonnie Langford, gives a jaw-dropping, awesome performance as Hart's smitten assistant, Roz Keith, leaving the audience howling with laughter in her number 'Heart To Hart'.
The talented members of the ensemble are fantastically energised and keep the musical flowing from scene to scene with their choreographic interjections.
Jeff Calhoun has to be commended on doing such a wonderful job as director and choreographer, as this magical production truly inspires and motivates and is pure escapism at its very best.
9 to 5 The Musical will have you grinning from ear to ear and wishing it would never end. I sincerely hope that it will get the West End transfer that it surely deserves. Go and see it now at the New Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham now before the tour ends on January 5, 2013.

British scientists developing bomb-resistant train
The 7/7 bombings, a series of suicide blasts that took place on London's public transport system on July 7, 2005, were among the deadliest terrorist attacks of the post-9/11 world. Since then, efforts have been made to mitigate the possible damage of future attacks on public transit, and a group of British engineers from Newcastle University is doing its part by designing blast-proof trains.
SecureMetro, a collaborative project funded by the European Union, launched three years ago with the goal of developing blast-resistant and fire-proof above-ground and underground metro trains that minimize death and injury in the event of a bomb attack.
The video below shows the progress on the project. First you'll see a decommissioned train, highlighting the potential collateral damage exploding trains can cause. Doors, windows, and pieces of the carriage fly through the air. The interior of the train is also demolished, as furniture and ceiling panels prevent any survivors from easily escaping the carriage.… Read more

The Screamin' Eagle Hydraulic Cam Chain Tensioner and High Flow Oil Pump Kit fits '99-05 Dyna models, '00-06 Softail models, and '99-06 Touring models. The late model big twins all now come with hydraulic tensioners. To install the kit, a Spacer Kit, Cam Service kit, and Drive Gear retention kit is also required.
S&S 106ci Hop-Up, Part 3
Rolling along into the third installment of improving the performance and durability of our friend Oscar's '02 Road King, we are going to follow along as Kevin Feuntes from Los Angeles Harley-Davidson of Anaheim buttons up the bottom end, installs new pistons and cylinders, and tackles the heads. Over the past two issues Kevin has been overhauling the tired 88ci engine and upping the King to a more modern triple-digit displacement. The stock flywheel assembly was out of true so it was swapped with one of S&S's 4-3/8-inch stroke flywheels ($1,249.95). While the swap obviously required splitting the cases, the new flywheels fit in with no machining required. Some light clearancing was performed in the cam chest area for the new 585 cams that are going to be installed (visit baggersmag.com to fully catch up on the last two articles).
In this article the cam chest area will get upgraded with S&S;'s 585 Easy Start Cam kit ($367.95). Intended for large-displacement engines, the 585 cams are designed to deliver strong horsepower and torque through the 2,500-5,500-rpm range. The most unique thing about these cams are their Easy Start feature which releases some compression on start-up making it easier for large-displacement motors to turn over while also relieving stress on the starter and battery. To go along with the cams, the stock cam plate and oil pump will get upgraded to a Screamin' Eagle Hydraulic Cam Chain Tensioner and High Flow Oil Pump kit ($499.95). One of the most important aspects of this upgrade is the switch from the old-style spring-loaded cam chain tensioners to the newer style hydraulic tensioners. The spring-loaded tensioners have been a big topic of discussion over the years from bike owners experiencing low-mileage wear, cracking/breakage, and/or bits of tensioner material circulating through the oiling system blocking oil passages and wreaking havoc. The hydraulic tensioner pads are comprised of a nylon material, which along with the hydraulic nature of the tensioner support, provides a longer lasting, more durable design while still providing proper chain tension for cam timing. The kit also includes an SE High Flow Oil Pump that provides better oil pressure and scavenging as well as lower engine temps as compared to the stock unit. Backing it all up and providing improved support and oiling is a billet cam plate. Atop the cases Kevin will install an S&S; Big Bore kit. S&S; offers its 3.927-inch bore cylinders and piston kit ($749.95) as a bolt-on upgrade for 88- or 96ci bikes taking the bikes displacement up to 97 or 106 ci, respectively. Once combined with the 4-3/8-inch flywheels the kit will bump up this bike's displacement to a more modern 106 ci. It should be noted that we inadvertently transposed the numbers in the intro of the December article; the correct number is 3.927 inch, not 3.972 inch.
Now that you know where we are headed; hold on because here we go.
01 Here's a comparison of the old-style spring-loaded tensioner (right) and the new hydraulic tensioner (left). On the old style, tension on the cam chain was achieved with a tightly wrapped, heavy-duty flat wire spring. Whereas, oil passages on the backside of the new tensioner allow oil to build up hydraulic pressure and keep tension against the chain. You may also notice the new style has a more durable white nylon pad as opposed to the more brittle orange pad.
02 Kevin began setting up the new billet cam plate by pressing in the bearings for the outer cam journals to reside in.
03 Here we are looking at the left side of the cam plate (the side that faces toward the flywheel), you may notice the outer cam journals reside in two different style bearings, the left ball bearing (front cam) and the right roller bearing (rear cam). The rear cam is under heavier, more angular stresses than the front and therefore needs a more durable bearing to properly support it.
04 S&S;'s Easy Start 585 cams feature a spring-loaded compression release built into the heel of the exhaust cam lobes at the point where the valve would normally be fully closed. The raised lobe of the compression release holds the exhaust valve slightly open at cranking speed, which releases some compression making it easy to turn the engine over. Then when the engine starts and the RPM increases, the compression release lobe is centrifugally retracted and the engine runs normally with full compression.
05 For '02-06 models the SE Hydraulic Cam Chain Tensioner Kit allows for the use of a single row front roller chain (bottom) to replace the stock silent timing chain (top). One of the issues with the stock tensioner and silent chain is that the design of the stock chain has edges to it that could add to the increased wear of the pad.
06 After lining up the timing mark on the cams, Kevin pressed them into the cam plate.
07 He then installed the cam bearing retaining plate followed by the secondary chain tensioner.
08 Kevin then flipped the cam support plate over and installed the snap ring on outer journal of the front cam.
09 Inside the cam chest, Kevin replaced all the O-rings and then …
10 … pulled the oil pump apart so he could properly lubricate it before installation.
11 The oil pump was then aligned on the pinion shaft and slid into the cam chest.
12 The cam plate was then installed along with the support plate bolts. Kevin then used dowels to get the oil pump properly aligned. He then had someone slowly turn the rear wheel while in gear to get the oil pump properly aligned and then he tightened the oil pump bolts to spec.
13 To get the the front and rear camshaft drive sprockets installed within spec , Harley offers this spacer kit.
14 Kevin placed a spacer over the rear camshaft's outer journal then installed the drive sprockets. He used a straightedge and a 0.010-inch feeler gauge to ensure alignment was within spec .
15 Once he had the sprockets dialed in, Kevin installed the timing chain, aligned the timing marks on the sprockets, then properly tightened them down. He then installed the outer tensioner and removed the retaining pin.
16 With the cam chest upgrade complete, Kevin installed a new gasket followed by the cam cover.
17 Here are the components to the S&S; 97/106 Big Bore Kit. The cylinders feature a high-strength liner and are bored to the largest diameter S&S; is willing to go and still feel confident about the integrity and durability of the liners. S&S; offers the cylinders in silver or black powerdercoat to match your engine. The pistons feature a flat-top design with enlarged valve reliefs for over-size valves and higher lift cams, like the 585s. The rings and wrist pins are also included.
18 Kevin checked the end gap on the rings and with everything falling within spec he then began installing the rings and oil ring rails. He made sure to follow S&S;'s instructions on placement of the end gaps for the various rings.
19 He then thoroughly cleaned and oiled the cylinders.
20 One of the pistons was then slid over the top of the connecting rod, the wrist pin was slid through, and the wrist pin clip was installed. The process was repeated for the other piston.
21 A ring compressor was then slipped over the rear piston and the cylinder was placed on top of the piston and pushed down over the rings and down into the engine case. He then installed the front piston.
22 With both cylinders in place, Kevin focused his attention on the cylinder heads. Due to the high lift cams, the heads had to be set up to accommodate the extreme lift. That meant replacing the stock springs with S&S;'s Dual Valve Spring Kits. The kit comes with four high-performance inner and outer springs, top collars, bottom collars, shims, and valve seals.
23 Kevin followed S&S;'s instructions for ensuring proper installed spring height and clearance between the top collar and valve guide. S&S; called for an installed spring height (when valve and spring are installed and in closed position) of 1.800 inch +/- 0.010 inch. A distance between the top collar keepers and top of the valve guide or seal (if applicable) of at least 0.060 inch greater than the valve lift of the cam being used is also required. Setting the wrong heights or improper clearances can cause coil bind, over-stressing the springs, rapid spring fatigue, or possible valve float, all of which can lead to severe internal engine damage.
24 The tolerances weren't to spec so Kevin sent the heads to his friend Bob L'Hommedieu of RGL Engine Service. Bob had the equipment at his machine shop to make the necessary modifications. The installed spring height was under spec. After running some numbers, Bob figured by machining some material off the underside of the bottom collars with his lathe he could get each valve spring set to the specified 1.800-inch height.
25 Here's what the underside of two of the collars looked like after machining. Bob was completely satisfied that even after machining the collars, there was still plenty of material for the collars to be structurally sound, plus they were resting flush on top of the valve spring pocket which would also provide support.
26 The distance between the top collar keepers and top of the valve guide wasn't within spec either. The distance was less than the 0.060 inch that was called for.
27 Bob chucked up a valve guide cutter into his portable drill and gently began cutting the guide.
28 He repeatedly checked the height until he had the specified 0.060 inch greater than the valve lift of the 585 cams. Aside from cutting the valve guide to proper length, the cutter also chamfers the top to prevent damage to the valve seal.
29 As you can see, the combustion chamber was a mess with carbon build-up, so Bob took the head over to his bead-blasting machine and cleaned up the combustion chamber and ports.
30 Here's one of the heads all cleaned up. It's practically a brand new head. We will leave off here and pick up with installing the heads next issue.

Gaza's Steadfast Faces of Survival
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
"This, I realized, was what I could add. Not the familiar scenes of destruction in Gaza but the steadfast faces of survival. To capture each intimate portrait required that I spend just a little more time with people, that I hear a bit more about their lives, look more deeply at them. And find the story of Gaza in their faces."
—Asim Rafiqui, photojournalist
The Virginia Quarterly Review has published Rafiqui's stunning set of black-and-white portraits of Palestinians living through the ongoing struggle for Gaza. The photojournalist's introduction to "Portraits of Survival" with its brief captions give the viewer an intimate glimpse into his subjects' lives.
A point emphasized that resonated with me in several stories: stripping a person of the ability to offer hospitality to a guest is to strip one of his or her dignity.

BYU Blows Out USU, Preps for NYAC |
Colleges - Men's DI College |
Provo, UT–The BYU Cougars ran rough-shod against the Aggies of Utah State today winning by the score of 91-3. The Cougars dotted down 15 times led by prop David Williams, fullback Will Taylor, centers Chris Wernli and Lelann Latu and freshman flanker Jon Layne who each scored a pair of tries. The BYU scoring started in the 3rd minute as wing Richard Jones sprinted his way from 20 meters out for the game's opening try. The Jones try was set up by a deft interchange of passes between fellow wing Jordan Lowry, Taylor and Wernli from inside the Cougars' half of the field. BYU backs coach Justen Nadauld said his players seemed to link together well not only to set up the opening try, but throughout the game. "We had a freshman flyhalf and some relatively new guys out there today," Nadauld said, "But they kept working hard and did well to move the ball into space and keep things moving forward." The Cougars continued their first half scoring campaign with six more tries before the break. Jones was solid converting the BYU tries going 5 for 7 in the opening half. The Aggies lone score of the game came in the 38th minute as the USU scrum half scored a 30 meter drop goal from the left angle. At the half BYU would take a comfortable 45-3 lead in the Cougars' 2013 home opener at South Field. "It was good to get out on South Field," said game-day captain Scott Gowdy, "The guys were working hard and fed off the energy of the crowd. We were working hard around the field and I thought we did a pretty good job making sure we took advantage of the opportunities that were given to us." Gowdy and his team mates continued their hard work in the second half scoring eight more tries to round out the final score of 91-3. BYU now turns its attention to 2012 Super League Champions New York Athletic Club who come to Provo next Saturday, March 9th in the aptly named Champions Challenge, pitting collegiate national champions against the top men's side in the country. "Today was a good day," said BYU head coach David Smyth, "We gave a lot of our younger guys a run and they played pretty well. But next week will be a big challenge for us. NYAC's probably the top rugby team in the USA and our guys are going to have a big opportunity ahead of them. We're looking forward to it." BYU and NYAC kick off at 1pm on Saturday March 9th in the Champions Challenge on South Field. The Champions Challenge will be broadcast live on KSL.com and DesNews.com with other scoring and media updates available on both Twitter and Facebook. Video from today's match will be available online for on-demand viewing on BYURugby.com, KSL.com and DewsNews.com. MATCH INFORMATION

I assure you I am fully qualified to answer most all of your sex-related inquiries, male, female, queer or straight alike. over 4 years ago |
I've personally found that once you just relax and stop trying so hard, things come pretty easily (pun somewhat intended). After splitting up with my long-term ex, I was doing everything to put myself out there and it was only after eight months - when I'd pretty much given up and just reverted to my regular self - that I finally got laid again. After that, I never had much trouble finding sex partners, even when I wasn't expecting to. It's true that confidence is attractive. I think what worked for me is that people could TELL I was just being who I was, and not particularly trying to impress them.

If you read my reply to Alexe G, there are a couple of medical things that can make sex very difficult or painful, but it's pretty rare. Likely your first time will be painful, but your body will get used to it, and obviously if he's quite large it can exacerbate things, but your body will adjust either way. Doing lots of fingering and other foreplay beforehand will make it easier, and you can always use lube if he's having trouble entering you. Just get comfortable and try to stay relaxed, and remember that it gets better :) December 31, 2010 |
It was the latter. My comment wasn't as clear as I'd thought :) But thanks. January 5, 2011 |
I've been with my boyfriend for about 7 months and it's my first relationship to last longer than 1 month. Even though we kind of moved pretty fast since we started dating, I didn't lose my virginity to him until about 4 months ago. Before him I had never even done more than kiss anyone and I'm 20. :x
June 20, 2011 |
I hate hugging, kissing and being intimate and I find the idea of having sex repulsive.
June 20, 2011 |
My boyfriend, who I live with and love to death, has no interest in having sex with me. He did when we first moved in together but not anymore... I have no idea why June 20, 2011 |
Keep in mind that not all women are able to have g-spot orgasms. I've never had one myself, but I've given them to other women and the way they describe it is that it feels quite intense and a little like you have to pee (and indeed some women do ejaculate), which is why a lot of women get scared and stop before they orgasm this way. The positioning of the g-spot, too, doesn't really work with regular PIV intercourse - you need fingers or a sex toy designed for that. So if you're hoping to have one with your boy, play around yourself first. There are articles you can read from women who've taken courses on how to have a g-spot orgasm; might be worth searching around. And if you try and try and still can't make it happen, don't be discouraged! Just enjoy and appreciate your clit and vag for what they can do for you.
June 20, 2011 |
Don't worry, I would never suggest abuse as the reason behind why someone is the way they are.
June 20, 2011 |
Generally a disinterest in sex is a sign of disinterest in the relationship. People go through lulls every now and then of course, especially once you've settled into a home together, but if it's been more than a couple of weeks since you felt genuinely wanted, talk to him about it. If it's not to do with your relationship or you personally, then there is likely some other issue that's taking up his headspace and needs to be dealt with. June 20, 2011 |
I'm feeling really confused and almost depressed. 4 nights ago one of my closest friends invited me over to his house for a movie. We ended up doing incredibly sexual activities on his bed and he was about to enter me when I begged him to stop. I regret doing this.. I really wanted him and I've been in love with him for 3 years. It had been so long since I had come near to having sex, but I was just scared because for one, he didn't have a condom, and two, he is one of the worship leaders at my church and I wasn't sure if it was right. He told me it was alright and he wouldn't, so we just cuddled for a bit.. Until he decided he wanted a handjob. I felt so uncomfortable because I hadn't done that before and I just felt like I wasn't bringing him any pleasure. June 21, 2011 |
Thank you! That was helpful and now I feel a lot better.
June 21, 2011 |
If you're legally an adult then he really has no say in what you do with your sex life, and as a good doctor and father I'd think he would probably feel a little awkward but would be glad that you're being responsible. I used to work in a doctor's office and a lot of them do get samples of birth control pills, and are generally happy to give away a few packs to someone who can't afford the prescription, so chances are your dad could probably hook you up with a few.
June 21, 2011 |
Good for you for saying no to unprotected sex! If you still want to have sex with him, why don't you just mention that that was the reason you didn't want to do it?

Im about to be 16&im the only junior girl from all my childhood friends and current friends that is a virgin..i sometimes think I want to loose it and get it over with, but something in ne wants to keep holding onto it, because its kinda rare nowadays in this era..at least. June 21, 2011 |
So, im just like most of these girls..im a virgin and although me and my boyfriend have tried to have sex its so hard to get wet and it hurts for the head to even go in..idk what to do, because I really want to, I just feel like my body doesnt. June 21, 2011 |
thatd be really annoyin hahah:L June 21, 2011 |
linda c, i think its quite ridiculous at not even 16 your friends have already had sex. its just too young in my opinion. take your time over it June 21, 2011 |
Make sure you guys fool around a lot before you try and get him to enter you. Have him use his fingers, make sure you're very aroused, get some lube if you need to — don't be ashamed to buy it or use it! Make yourself comfortable. For some women it's easier to be on top, for others they can relax more easily lying down, whatever works for you.
June 21, 2011 |
Free! It was basically the best ever. I'm back home in Canada now and I have to pay like $50 for three months' worth because I don't have prescription coverage, it sucks. June 21, 2011 |
Oh damn, I gotta get me summa that! As long as it doesn't mess with my weight or sex drive, ahah. -.- June 21, 2011 |
lol i also have a gay friend who calls himself homophobic... he says he hates the promiscuous lifestyle, and narcissistic + superficial tendencies of many gay men so you are not alone June 22, 2011 |
Yeah, its disgusting because I look at younger girks (freshmen in highschool)&they basically have already had sex June 22, 2011 |
Thank you, youre good at this! June 22, 2011 |
Doesn't losing your virginity before your 16 make you a slut? July 11, 2011 |
wow, no.
July 12, 2011 |
Hello Jen,
July 21, 2011 |
Flavoured lubes are generally pretty safe, but in my opinion they don't generally taste that good. Don't use food or anything; it can give the girl a yeast infection or other unpleasantness. Oh, and eating lots of fruit and vegetables (pineapple especially) can make a person's fluids taste a bit sweeter. If you eat junk, you're gonna taste like junk. July 21, 2011 |
Honestly, if you're pretty sure he wants to, then just go for it. Kiss him and see what happens. No point in beating around the bush. I've taken the initiative with plenty of my friends and only been shut down a couple of times, so chances are it'll be fine. Don't overthink it, just do it! July 21, 2011 |
Just can't do it. Its too hard August 21, 2011 |
Omg i was going to post the exact same thing, its so hard to have sex! People make it sound so easy and fun, but its just painful and really hard to do. We've tried atleast 5 times August 21, 2011 |
my first time having sex didn't really hurt so I can't relate to you really, but the best advice I can give is you need to make sure you are wet enough and not tense. if you haven't tried using lube yet try it!! it makes things much easier. unfortunately you may need to push through the pain for the first couple of times and even though it will really hurt once you have done this it will get a lot better.. August 22, 2011 |
What's your opinion on dry-humping? August 29, 2011 |
Aside from the fact that it has a really awkward name, I think it's pretty all right. Not sure what exactly you want to know. August 30, 2011 |
aaah, I'm replying really late but! Shaz, don't worry.. you'll get there eventually. It was also EXTREMELY painful for me too. Like reeeally freaking painful, I remember the first few times we tried to do it I was crying afterwards and my boyfriend felt really bad.
September 11, 2011 |
I know right, i hate it when young people say that they feel weird for being a virgin. I wanted to loose mine when im married, but since i've been with my boyfriend for 4 years we're practically married anyway so i decided to do it. Its not a game! You should do it when you want to, not when your friends think you should September 11, 2011 |
haha, so true. Some younger girls are just kind of obsessed with subtly pressuring their friends. I remember when I first told one of my friends about my boyfriend she was like "OMG, HAVE YOU HAD SEX YET?" and I was like, err... no, we're both kind of awkward and shy we're going to take it slow and she was just like "OOOMG, JUST WAIT TILL YOU DO IT.. BLAH BLAH BLAH" I mean, yeah, sex is nice... but damn, it's not everything. September 12, 2011 |
Sorry if this has been posted before!!!

They make condoms that numb, so it takes guys longer to cum. You could give that a whirl. All in all it's worked for me in the past. As for orgasm.. I don't know. September 12, 2011 |
Try different positions. A lot of guys in my experience last longer when the girl is on top, but some like to be on top themselves (more control I guess). A numbing condom or lube could be worthwhile, but it also might be too much — you don't want him to go limp!

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates have re-signed free agent reliever Jason Grilli to a two-year contract worth $6.75 million.
The 36-year-old Grilli has enjoyed a career renaissance in Pittsburgh since originally signing with the Pirates in July 2011. He went 1-6 with a 2.91 ERA in 64 games in 2012 and struck out 13.8 batters per nine innings, fourth-best in the National League.
The signing also gives the Pirates some flexibility in the bullpen next year in case it ever decides to part ways with closer Joel Hanrahan.
Grilli has spent the majority of his career as a middle reliever but has struggled staying healthy until arriving in Pittsburgh. He has been a mainstay in the seventh and eighth innings with the Pirates because of his ability to get strikeouts in key situations.

Business School Overview
The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College offers graduate programs in these departments and concentrations: accounting, consulting, e-commerce, economics, entrepreneurship, finance, general management, health care administration, human resources management, industrial management, international business, leadership, manufacturing and technology management, marketing, not-for-profit management, production/operations management, organizational behavior, portfolio management, public policy, real estate, supply chain management/logistics, quantitative analysis/statistics and operations research, tax, and technology. Its tuition is full-time: $58,935 per year. At graduation, 80.8 percent of graduates of the full-time program are employed.
The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth touts its intimate campus community, which graduate students are immediately immersed in. Students are grouped into small study teams when they begin at Tuck, and more than half of the student body chooses to live on campus in Hanover, N.H.
Hands-on academics begin early as well; in the mandatory First-Year Project course, students apply what they learn in the classroom to solve business challenges for existing companies as a consultant. Business students can specialize in areas like finance or strategy with elective courses. Students can earn a concurrent degree at Dartmouth, adding a medical degree through the Dartmouth Medical School or a master's of public health at the school's Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice. Students can also complete a dual degree at another institution. Students can graduate with a Dartmouth MBA and a master's in public administration (MBA/M.P.A.) from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government or a master's in environmental law and policy at Vermont Law School. Tuck does not offer a Ph.D. program or part-time degree options.
Outside of class, there are about 40 student organizations to check out, and Dartmouth's campus has its own ski slope, equestrian center and golf course. Notable Tuck alumni include Christopher Sinclair, a former CEO of PepsiCo, and Peter Dolan, a former CEO of Bristol-Myers Squibb, a global pharmaceutical company.

The name refers to a local street gang from the 1850s, and the bar does its best to match that era. Co-owners Sean Muldoon and Jack McGarry (formerly of Belfast's much lauded The Merchant Hotel) researched drinks for months, resulting in slightly modernized versions of 72 historically accurate selections. Evidence of their research can be found via the handsome menu (presented as a bound book) that contains descriptions of each drink and its origins, illustrations from the period and an essay from author Peter Quinn.
If your date is running 15 minutes late - have no fear. Grab the menu, find a seat and, after a few pages, you might not mind as much if he/she doesn't show up. Alternatively, if you don't have much of an attention span, an insert offers highlights from the list, as well as wine, beer and food options. Ranging from $8.50-$16, dishes include Scotch eggs, sausage rolls, welsh rabbit, assorted pastries and more. For the full menus, click here.
For those who prefer beer and straight spirits, the downstairs taproom will serve as a welcome environment to knock back a couple (or five). There you'll find craft beers, what they're touting as the largest selection of Irish whiskeys in NYC and "pop-ins," aka lightly hopped beer mixed with amari or fruit liqueurs. Punch will also be available, but as opposed to what's on offer upstairs, these will be pre-bottled and served by the glass or flagon.
To create the appropriate feel for the stylish, historic space (the building dates from 1828), glassware was deliberately sought out from private collections, along with satirical cartoons, portraits and paintings. One of the key standouts is a large-scale mural on the first floor, depicting soldiers drinking Jameson prior to a Civil War battle. There may not be the equivalent courageousness needed on a daily basis here in NYC, but that certainly won't keep us from drinking just the same.

Database Challenges in Financial Misconduct ResearchJonathan M. KarpoffUniversity of Washington - Michael G. Foster School of Business Allison KoesterGeorgetown University D. Scott LeeUniversity of Nevada, Las Vegas - Lee Business School Gerald S. MartinAmerican University - Kogod School of Business February 26, 2013 Georgetown McDonough School of Business Research Paper No. 2012-15 Abstract: More than 100 research papers that examine financial misconduct draw from one of four primary databases. We document and explain five features in each of these four databases that pose challenges for researchers in many applications. First, the dates provided by these databases lag the initial revelation of the financial misconduct by an average of 150 to 1,017 calendar days, depending on the database. Second, the events in these databases capture, on average, only 6% to 36% of the value-relevant announcements associated with the cases of misconduct they identify. Third, these databases omit a large fraction – up to 62% – of the events they seek to capture. Fourth, between 9% and 62% of the events in these databases are duplicates in the sense that multiple events identify the same underlying cases of misconduct. And fifth, between 46% and 98% of the events in the databases do not involve financial fraud and for many applications should be culled from the sample. We show that these five database features lead to economically meaningful biases in event study applications.

Dear Friends,
We hope that July provides you an opportunity to take a moment away from the harried pace of life. Maybe it's time to sit on the porch with a frosty glass of iced tea or lemonade, or to enjoy a gentle swing in the hammock listening to the sounds of summer. Let your mind drift back to family memories of yesteryear and then come forward to those of today. What do you want to preserve and pass on to your children and future grandchildren? What kind of legacy do you wish to leave for your family?
Legacy--such a legal sounding word, yet it embodies so much of who we are, where we came from, where we're headed. According to Webster, it includes receipt of a money gift from a will or something received from an ancestor or predecessor. However, it can also encompass such intangibles as history, ideas, beliefs, stories, or wisdom passed down from generations that may uniquely identify us as the Smiths, the Roberts, and so forth.
In the grand story of Scripture, God lays out the legacies of people he chose to...

The boarding process was actually very smooth though we were not able to determine the earliest time we could board. Therefore, though we arrived in Ft. Lauderdale the day before the cruise, we ended up killing time in Ft. Lauderdale the day of the cruise which was scheduled to depart at 7:00 p.m. We assumed we would not be able to board before 2:00. Upon arrival we discovered that we could have boarded as early as 11:00 a.m.
The cabin was as expected. We had received an "upgrade" to the 12th deck. The room included a balcony. The only disappointment with this room was the fact that considerable banging noises occurred from above all evening, late into the night, and very early in the morning. We discovered that this was likely due to the fact that the Foosball and ping pong tables were directly above our cabin and the crew moved tables and chairs around late at night and early in the morning on the deck above us--lesson learned on cabin location.
In general the food was surprisingly bland. At first the quality of the food was poor including poor cuts of meat and over cooked meat. This gradually improved through the cruise--either due to complaints or the desire to improve customer comments at the end of the cruise. We usually opted for the alternative menu items (steak, salmon, spaghetti, etc.) as a result of our disappointment with the daily menu items. Most of the items in the breakfast and lunch buffets were nicely presented but tasted bland or just plain bad. The desserts were not very good either.
The nightly shows in the theater were mediocre at best. Every night the same dancers performed as did one singer. The dancers were out of sync every night. It was as if they had never rehearsed together. The singer was very good but she was the only one singing the entire cruise. There were a few acrobat acts. Each was very short and again repeated about every other night. The shows in general were too short and lacked variety.
The ship is well-maintained as it should be since it is only a couple of years old. The cabin crew did an excellent job of keeping our cabin in shape. Our waiter was also very good though seemed to be indifferent towards us during breakfast on the disembarkation day. I've noticed this phenomenon at the end of most cruises. In this case, since the tips are automatically added to the final bill, the waiter was probably not concerned about us since it was too late for us to adjust the tips.
The fitness facility was poorly maintained. Several of the pieces of equipment were out of order from the beginning of the trip and were never repaired. Some of the remaining equipment did not work properly. Variety of resistance machines was minimal.
Bottom line--Though the price was extremely competitive, I would not recommend MSC cruises to anyone.
