Let me just preface this review by saying, the Canada/New England cruise was by far the perfect summer cruise. Anytime we can escape the hot humid south is a blessing. For 10 days we enjoyed gorgeous, sometimes a bit chilly weather. Completely opposite of NC weather. If you're considering this cruise, definitely plan it for the summer.
Embarkation: Cape Liberty, Bayonne, New Jersey
We decided to drive to New Jersey from NC, in one day. We left about 4am and took maybe 2 breaks. So needless to say, we were stressed getting there. Won't do that again, I will in the future drive to Baltimore, stay over and then finish the drive the next day. Jersey turnpike is a real 'experience' for a southern driver. Got to port fine, but just in time. Nobody was really waiting in line by 3:30pm so we breezed right through.
Champagne and Strawberries awaited us in our room. And we ordered a smoked salmon sandwich from room service becaused we were starved. It was awesome. The balcony room we had was enough for the two of us, I couldn't imagine any more people in it. Loved having a balcony....can never cruise again without one.
The usual departure stuff went well, then we napped until dinner. We had a late seating for dinner. They did a great job of seating us with two other couples who were celebrating their anniversary. So all in all, a great dining table.
The food was fine. I kept in mind that they had to serve a certain way because they're serving so many in so little time. So the soups are basically puree's, I'd avoid pasta anything. I always stayed with the most luxurious option and was pleased every time. Deserts again were good some nights, a little more 'fluff' other nights. We did mostly dining room options as I'm not a fan of the cafeteria experience on a cruise.
Loved the coffee shop, always had a great selection of snacks, cookies, sandwiches. A nice break since our dinner was so late.
We didn't do much entertainment, we basically rested as much as we could. I did bingo a couple of times, my husband did the wine tasting. We weren't uptight about constantly being busy, our goal was to not have a schedule. It was too chilly for me to want to swim.
Did a spa massage, it was nice, but I hate the up sell they always do.
Ports: Here's a quick and easy reference for the ports. Research the american ones like Bar Harbor, Portland, etc. then rent a car and bring your GPS. We found some great places to eat and tour on our own schedule. The only tours I booked were for the canadian ones and I did one for Boston because I'd never been there and didn't want to navigate a car in a city like that.
My other goal was to have lobster every day. Not a difficult thing to do in New England. In Bar Harbor, we found an incredible lobster shack by the bridge and pigged out on whole lobster, steamed mussels and steamed clams. I can still taste them today! Every port was historical and relaxing. I'm not a beach bum, so I didn't miss not being on a carribbean vacation. The New England cruise was just my speed.

Enhancing Israel's academic standing in Middle E. Studies
By EHUD TOLEDANO
06/20/2012 21:39
The year is 1857, in village of Prizren near the town of Skopje in Ottoman Macedonia, Hasan Efendi's house was set on fire.
Students at Hebrew University.

In these and many other cases, the arsonists were not identified, and often there was not even an attempt to find and punish them. For generations, the local practice had been to impose a compensation fee on the entire village, so that the damage was covered and no one has to fear retribution for testifying against the perpetrator.
However, it was precisely then, during the major reforms imposed by the Ottoman government between the 1830s and 1880s – widely known as the Tanzimat, or reorganization – that such practices were deemed unacceptable to the modernizing Ottoman Empire.
Legal responsibility had to be personal, not communal, so the High Court ruled that the arsonists in the cases of Hasan, Arif and the others had to be tracked down and punished according to the new criminal laws. Thus, a practice of effective insurance against a common evil had to be scrapped in the interest of becoming "modern."
THIS IMPORTANT aspect of socio-legal history was presented by a young and promising scholar from a university in Istanbul, Turkey; it was vividly discussed at an excellent international workshop on law and society in the Middle East and North Africa, held at Ben- Gurion University 10 days ago.
The workshop was painstakingly organized by two BGU senior lecturers, in their own right leading contributors to the international discourse on law and society in the region. Using their considerable reputation and the respect BGU's Department of Middle East Studies commands worldwide, they brought to Beersheba a group of distinguished international scholars. These included four historians from Turkey, four from the US and one each from the Netherlands and Germany, alongside more than a dozen Israeli scholars.
Both senior and young professors spent three days of intensive deliberations in what any fair-minded observer would note as one of the most stimulating conferences on Middle East history held in this country in recent memory.
Sadly, however, much of this went unnoticed by readers of The Jerusalem Post opinion pages. Those who read the op-ed piece ('Incitement U', June 7) could only conclude that the workshop merely offered an opportunity to insult one of the participants, who discussed the Beduin demands for recognition of their rights in lands they inhabit in the Negev.
Moreover, readers could wrongly form the impression that the purpose of the workshop was to delegitimize Israeli scholarship and bash Israel. None of this is true, of course, as the incident discussed was an isolated event within one of the workshop panels, and the deplorable attack was condemned by many of the leading scholars who witnessed it.
ISRAELI ACADEMIA in the humanities and the social sciences finds itself these days between a rock and a hard place: on the one hand, an international movement – mostly from the anti-Zionist Left – to boycott our scholars and universities, and on the other, attempts by a few groups in this country – mostly on the pro-settler Right – to restrict academic freedom and control the manner in which politically sensitive issues are being taught on Israeli campuses, as well as the content itself.
Happily, at least for the moment both have failed to make significant inroads into mainstream public opinion, both here and abroad. The boycott "movement" is noisy at times, but has been a total failure in practice. The small Israeli organizations are visible and audible, but are by and large ineffectual. There so far appears to be no real threat to Israeli academic activities abroad, nor has there been any real damage to academic freedom or freedom of speech in Israeli universities and colleges.
Excellent research on the Middle East and North Africa in the Ottoman and post-Ottoman periods has come out in the past quarter- century in Turkey, Europe and the US. Hard work in the archives and on difficult-to-decipher manuscripts has yielded a thorough revision of the traditional history of our region, revealing a new one in which Muslims, Christians and Jews lived in relative peace under Ottoman rule for centuries.
When its authority was not challenged, government officials exercised their power moderately and inclusively; it was not the corrupt, incompetent, oppressive empire that the Arabs and the Europeans – each for their own reasons – had depicted it to have been.
The BGU workshop has further explored the nature of the reforming state in the 19th and early 20th centuries. As more research is being published, not least by many of the workshop participants, it emerges as a caring "nanny" state, one that had begun to side with the weaker social groups among its subjects, including the poor, the destitute, the sick, the enslaved, the peasants, wage laborers and even policemen and prisoners.
SO, AMONG the 16 presentations, we heard about the Ottoman legal mind as reflected in the ever-accumulating, codified compilation of laws and regulations known as Düstür; the reforms in the criminal justice system where torture, abuse and corruption were now being suppressed; the Jews and legal reform in 19th-century Morocco; legal reform and the transition to modernity in the imperial center and Egypt; family "honor killing" in Mandatory Palestine and tax reform in Mandatory Palestine and Israel; the legal implications of migration in Turkey (post-population exchange) and Russian-Ottoman concepts of freedom and lack thereof. And, of course, the Beduin land issue was also discussed, in an unpleasant atmosphere, on the first evening, with an unacceptable, reprehensible affront to one of the presenters.
BGU and its scholars have reaffirmed what has been widely known in the field, i.e., that Israel is a powerhouse in modern Middle East studies, and that second only to Turkey boasts the largest and most active Ottomanist community.
Partly due to our location in the region, partly owing to our historical heritage, there has been keen interest in promoting and supporting strong departments in five research universities and a number of smaller ones in some colleges. The government, through the Council on Higher Education, funds most of these endeavors, up to 70 percent in many cases, but private donors from Israel and abroad also contribute to the enrichment of academic life here.
The Israel Science Foundation, the Middle East Studies Department at BGU, and the Gerda Henkel Stiftung have all made this wonderful socio-legal workshop possible. Regardless of propaganda efforts by various invidious detractors, local and foreign contributors should continue to support such projects, which only enhance Israel's global academic standing.
The writer is a professor and the holder of the university chair for Ottoman & Turkish Studies in the Department of Middle East and African History at Tel Aviv University.

An analysis of changes in perceptions of certified athletic trainers from 1996 to 2006 on the women in athletic training survey
Date: May 2007
Creator: Dieringer, Katherine I.
Description: This study investigates how perceptions vary in athletic trainers regarding issues pertaining to women in the profession. Subjects included 1500 male and 1500 female certified athletic trainers who responded to 44 demographic and perceptions survey items used to determine whether perceptions were different based on the respondent's gender. Results were compared to a previously disseminated survey in 1996 to also determine if perceptions had changed from 10 years earlier. Results regarding the presentation of awards and the attainment of leadership positions in the organization were also compared to actual data collected. The data suggested that males perceptions had not changed, but females' perceptions had changed, in that females perceived that opportunities had improved. Data regarding the number of females who had ascended to leadership positions or had received awards did not support these perceptions, however, and female athletic trainers continue to struggle to obtain equality in both of these areas. Additionally, homosocial reproduction continues to influence the decreased number of women who are hired into various jobs, or advance into leadership positions, maintaining patriarchy in the athletics arena and in the athletic training organizations. Results suggested that because athletic training has been dominated by men since its inception, patriarchy continues ...

An Analysis of Teaching Periodicals for Aging Education Content
Date: May 2001
Creator: Wimsatt, T. Joy
Description: Ninety elementary public school teachers were surveyed to find out where they obtained their teaching ideas. Seven popular elementary-level teaching periodicals, dated 1989-1999, were analyzed for aging-related content, and compared with 27 of the National Academy for Teaching and Learning about Aging (NATLA) aspects of aging recommended for students' learning. Results indicate that public elementary teachers obtain their teaching ideas from various places: teaching institutes or workshops; other teachers; ideas or lessons they develop themselves; and teaching periodicals. A large percentage obtain lesson ideas from teaching periodicals that they browse or read. This finding may assist NATLA in making recommendations to particular editorial boards. Surprisingly, few teachers obtain their teaching ideas from state and local curricular mandates. When the periodical issues were analyzed, aging-related content was categorized in four ways: informational articles with selected teaching or learning activities; articles describing intergenerational programs or activities; book reviews with selected learning activities; and book review titles mentioning older adult characters. Category totals among the 7 periodicals were highest in book review titles mentioning older adult characters and book reviews with selected learning activities. The content was compared to NATLA's recommendations for students' learning. The findings were not significant. The aging aspect that ...

Assessing linguistic, mathematical, and visual factors related to student performance on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills, eighth grade mathematics test.
Date: August 2005
Creator: Norgaard, Holly Luttrell
Description: The No Child Left Behind Act and National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' Principles and Standards both had a significant impact on the format and content of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) math test. Content analysis of the 2004 TAKS eighth grade math test identified the prevalence of linguistic complexity, mathematical rigor, and visual presentation factors and explored their relationship to student success on individual test items. Variables to be studied were identified through a review of literature in the area of reading comprehension of math word problems. Sixteen variables of linguistic complexity that have been significantly correlated with student math test performance were selected. Four variables of visual presentation were identified and ten variables of mathematical rigor. An additional five variables of mathematical rigor emerged from preliminary study of the 2003 TAKS math test. Of the 35 individual variables, only four reached a significant level of correlation with the percent of students correctly answering a given test item. The number of digits presented in the problem statement and number of known quantities both exhibited a significant positive correlation with the dependent variable. The number of times a student had to perform a multiplication operation had a ...

Assessing the effect of inquiry-based professional development on science achievement tests scores.
Date: December 2002
Creator: Dickson, Teresa K.
Description: This study analyzed student test scores to determine if teacher participation in an inquiry-based professional development was able to make a statistically significant difference in student achievement levels. Test scores for objectives that assessed the critical thinking skills and problem-solving strategies modeled in a science inquiry institute were studied. Inquiry-based experiences are the cornerstones for meeting the science standards for scientific literacy. State mandated assessment tests measure the levels of student achievement and are reported as meeting minimum expectations or showing mastery for specific learning objectives. Students test scores from the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills Test (TAAS) for 8th grade science and the Biology End Of Course (EOC) exams were analyzed using ANCOVA, Chi Square, and Logistic Regression, with the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) 7th Grade Science Subtest as covariate. It was hypothesized that the students of Inquiry Institute teachers would have higher scale scores and better rates of mastery on the critical thinking objectives than the students of non-Institute teachers. It was also hypothesized that it would be possible to predict student mastery on the objectives that assessed critical thinking and problem solving based on Institute participation. This quasi-experimental study did not show a statistically significant ...

Attitudes toward computer use and gender differences among Kuwaiti sixth-grade students
Date: August 2000
Creator: Almahboub, Shafi Fahad
Description: Because computer use become more and more important in the educational environment, the attitudes of students toward computer may play an important role in their learning success. This study investigated the attitudes toward computers and gender differences of sixth-grade Kuwaiti students and examined the relationships between students attitudes toward computers and school, motivation/persistence, study habits, empathy, creative tendencies, and achievement in the Informatics field. The Computer Attitude Questionnaire (CAQ), translated from the English into Arabic Language for this study, was originally developed by Knezek and Miyashita for the Texas Center for Educational Technology (University of North Texas). The CAQ was administered to a random cluster sample of 10 public middle schools: (5 boys and 5 girls schools), with a total of 562 students, (265 boys and 297 girls), in the State of Kuwait during the academic year 1999-2000. The pilot test was conducted to calculate the reliability with Cronbachs alpha = .87 for the CAQ Arabic version. This study found positive attitudes toward computer use (mean = 3.31 on 4-point Likert-scale); however, girls had significantly more positive attitudes toward computers (mean = 3.36) than did boys (mean = 3.26). It also found statistically significant correlations between attitudes toward computers and ...

Beating the high stakes testing game: A three-year study of improvement rates on the TAKS social studies exit exam.
Date: May 2006
Creator: Evans, Barbara Anne
Description: The Texas high school class of 2005 faced a defining test that had no precedent in Texas and little nationally. Social studies testing is a relatively new addition to the world of high stakes testing currently impacting United States high schools. Although other diploma dependent areas of mandated testing have some testing history and, therefore, related paradigms for curriculum and instructional assistance, the area of social studies largely lacks that perspective. Texas Education agency provided specific school grant monies and training for the purpose of preparation for the social studies exams. This quasi-experimental study examines the scores to learn whether or not any statistically significant differences in social studies scores would exist between the schools that participated in the TEKS/Tools Training Program and the schools that did not participate in the TEKS/Tools Training Program. The two primary at-risk groups in Texas, Hispanic and low SES, were analyzed for statistically significant differences in scores. Independent t tests and ANCOVA were used to analyze the score differences between program schools and non-program schools. Results relate to individual school staffing and implementation. The at-risk groups remained flat in score gains whether they were part of the program schools or not. Results relate to ...

The Beliefs and Expectations of Effective Secondary Choral Teachers in Culturally Diverse Schools
Date: May 2013
Creator: Spradley, Mackie V.
Description: Through the years, educational theorists and researchers have been interested in a possible relationship between teachers' effectiveness and their beliefs and expectations. Three concepts underpinned this work: teacher effectiveness, cultural diversity, and teachers' beliefs and expectations. The premise of the study was that the beliefs and expectations of effective secondary choral teachers are related to the social-cultural contexts in which they teach. The study implemented critical discourse analysis as the theoretical framework and the in-depth phenomenological long interview for data collection. Three secondary choral teachers were selected to participate in the study based on the researcher's criteria. The study revealed how each teacher conceptualized student cultural diversity during the teaching experience. Teacher beliefs about effective teaching in culturally diverse settings were described as developing over time in phases along a continuum. The study also confirmed that teachers' beliefs about students can be changed through experiences and reflection. The study revealed effective teachers focused on three different types of expectations in the teaching and learning context and affirmed diverse cultural identities and backgrounds. Recommendations included the development of stronger mentorship programs to increase effective teaching strategies for the secondary choral classroom. The findings of this study support my previous work, which ...

A Case Study of the Impact of the Middle School Data Coach on Teacher Use of Educational Test Data to Change Instruction
Date: December 2010
Creator: Hill, Rachelle Phelps
Description: With the advent of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation in 2002 and its attendant increases in accountability pressure, many districts and schools currently embrace data analysis as an essential part of the instructional decision making process. In their attempts to overcome low achievement on state-mandated tests, some districts have begun employing data coaches. The study reported here, which was set in three middle schools in a northeast Texas school district, assessed the influence of the campus data coach on a middle school mathematics teachers' use of analyzed data to make instructional decisions. It also examined the extent to which the Data Coach/teacher relationship resolved teacher concerns about data-driven decision making. Phenomenological interviews with data coaches were guided by Seidman's (2006) three-series interview. Measurement of teacher use of data to make decisions was based on the concerns-based adoption model's levels of use interview protocol, stages of concern questionnaire, and innovation configuration map. By the end of one school year, two out of the three teachers never used data to make instructional decisions, although the non-users both had moved closer toward employing the innovation in their classroom. Data indicated all teachers were aware of the innovation, but all three ended the ...

Central Office Administrators' Perceptions of the Professional Learning Community Process
Date: August 2013
Creator: Pruitt, Mary E.
Description: This study provides a qualitative interpretation of the work done by central office administrators in a school district in Texas as they supported and built capacity for the professional learning community (PLC) process over a five year time period. Literature by PLC scholars, especially R. DuFour, R.B. DuFour, Eaker, Hord, Hipp, Huffman, and Olivier, informed development of the study. In a school district of 19,000 students and 2,000 staff members, ten central office administrators were interviewed to gain their perceptions of their roles in the PLC process. Interviews were analyzed through the processes of initial, focused, and theoretical coding. Documents were examined and used as supplemental sources of data to corroborate the perspectives provided. Findings revealed the story of central office administrators who worked interdependently to support and build capacity in the implementation and sustainment of the PLC process. A thick description of the work based on their perceptions offers actions and behaviors of administrators specific to their roles and practices and protocols developed to hold the work together. A grounded theory was developed with regard to central office administrators' support and capacity-building for the PLC process. From the administrators' perceptions, six theoretical categories relating to central office support and ...

A Chronological Study of Experiential Education in the American History Museum
Date: December 2007
Creator: Cook, Bettye Alexander
Description: This study traced the evolution of experiential education in American history museums from 1787 to 2007. Because of a decline in attendance, museum educators need to identify best practices to draw and retain audiences. I used 16 museology and history journals, books, and archives of museums prominent for using the method. I also interviewed 15 museum educators who employ experiential learning, one master interpreter of the National Park Service, and an independent museum exhibit developer. Experiential education involves doing with hands touching physical materials. Four minor questions concerned antecedents of experiential learning, reasons to invest in the method, the influence of social context, and cultural pluralism. Next is a review of the theorists whose works support experiential learning: Dewey, Piaget, Vygotsky, Lewin, Bruner, Eisner, Hein, and David Kolb plus master parks interpreter Freeman Tilden. The 8 characteristics they support include prior experiences, physical action, interaction with the environment, use of the senses, emotion, social relationships, and personal meaning. Other sections are manifestation of experiential learning, transformation of history museums, and cultural pluralism in history museums. The research design is descriptive, and the procedure, document analysis and structured interview. Findings are divided by decades after the first 120 years. Social context, ...

|New Faucet From Israel
New Kitchen Faucet from Israel
There are many Jewish households that hesitate to purchase a single handled kitchen faucet – to avoid inadvertently turning on the water heater, which is forbidden on Shabbat.
However a new faucet from Israel solves that problem with a simple switch, which can be turned on just before Shabbat, similar to activating the Sabbath mode on a refrigerator!
According to Rick Glickman kitchen designer, the faucet presently is available exclusively at Dream Kitchens. The company is offering KosherEye readers a special price of $475 plus shipping. The list price is $554. If ordering, mention the word: Kosher.

New York Giants owner John Mara has officially become a member of a Manhattan jury after previously serving as an alternate.
Mara got the call Thursday when one juror was unable to continue after getting sick, possibly from food poisoning. Mara becomes Juror No. 1.
The owner attempted to avoid serving on the jury of the major international drug case last week, citing his obligations help with the NFL's ongoing labor struggles, as well as preparations for the draft.
It is not known if Mara will become the jury's foreman, a title that often falls to the No. 1 juror. The trial is expected to last another two weeks.

Case Overview
Outside of the industrialized oil fields of Prudhoe Bay, vast areas of relatively untouched wildlife habitat remain in Alaska's Western Arctic. This region includes the 23-million acre National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, the largest unprotected block of land in the federal land system. The Reserve consists of varied ecosystems and habitats, from coastal lagoons to Arctic tundra and rugged mountains, supporting large populations of caribou, polar and grizzly bears, wolves, fish, and migratory birds. It is also home for Teshekpuk Lake, one of the most important and sensitive wetland complexes in the circumpolar Arctic.
Earthjustice and its allies have worked hard to protect the unique wildlife and other resources of the Western Arctic. Since 1998, Earthjustice has gone to court three times to protect this region from oil and gas leasing and its harmful effects on sensitive areas, including calving and insect-relief habitats for caribou, molting and nesting areas for various birds, and subsistence hunting and fishing grounds for local people. These lawsuits have now been resolved and, while not all successful, they have resulted in significant protections for the Teshekpuk Lake Special Area, often referred to as the biological heart of the Western Arctic.
The Reserve and the surrounding areas continue to be central to Earthjustice and its allies' interests in Alaska. Oil and gas leasing and exploration activities are intensifying not only in certain parts of the Reserve but also on adjacent offshore areas in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas. Meanwhile, the Arctic is undergoing significant changes due to warming climate, which is threatening sensitive Arctic species, habitats, ecosystems, and the dependent Alaska Native cultures. We are working with our clients to identify key wildlife habitats within the region, seek permanent protections for them, and assess ways in which responsible development activities could occur in this fragile and rapidly-changing environment.
The Obama administration now has an opportunity to re-evaluate various Bush-era decisions relating to America's Arctic, including the Reserve. This unique region deserves a comprehensive conservation and energy plan based on a full scientific assessment of the Arctic ecosystems before allowing industrial activities to proceed there. The Obama administration also has a chance to ensure permanent protections for priority areas such as the Teshekpuk Lake Special Area.

Hi! I am a 15 year old female and I think I may be bisexual, I have talked to a couple friends (who are straight) that I trust, They either said "It's just a phase don't worry" Or "There is only one way to know and that is to have sex/kiss another female." But I don't know any lesbian girls to do that with! I'm pretty sure it's NOT a phase but I need to know how to find out if I'm bi or not. My school/parents are not very accepting of lesbians, bi's and gays, so I wouldn't be able to talk to my parents. Another thing is I'm secretly sort of wanting to do something with a girl. Please help me!I feel so lost!
I have been seeing this "perfect" guy for the past month or so. We are incredibly compatible, it's unreal. Recently though we had sex, prior to doing so we had some explicit conversations and I thought everything was, well...just talking about being with him was a real turn on. Naturally I was extremely comfortable talking about sex with him because he makes me feel extremely comfortable. Anyways, we had sex a few times and for some reason I don't feel at all compatible with him in the bedroom. Is this even possible?! It just seems as if it doesn't go over smoothly at all, something ALWAYS goes wrong! Should I give up or work at it--since he is so amazing in every other category! The issue has nothing to do with his size or performance, because he is great in those areas. It's just frustrating because there is always a bump in the road, and I've never been in a situation like this.
My friend came out to me the other day. I've never doubted my sexuality, but in the instant that she told me this, I got this weird feeling. I actually thought to myself in that instant that I could possibly feel more than just friendly towards her. I fantasized or a moment that, if she did come on to me, I wouldn't be too unhappy about it and might actually be with her in that way.
I've become frustrated with men recently. The guy I'd been crushing on after mending a broken heart told me he was gay (which would be the third time in a row this has happened). Could this just be a reaction to that? I doubt that I'm a lesbian, as I think I'd know something like that by now. Could I be bi? Could I be straight but still experiment without being "bi"? Am I taking this teeny thought WAY too seriously?
Hi, I am 19 years old, and I've been with my boyfriend for about two months now. He's my first proper relationship and I was also a virgin before I had sex with him. My problem is that I am too shy to initiate sex, and I am almost at the point of tearing my hair out because I am getting so frustrated about it. I am comfortable around him, and I love having sex with him, but I just can't bring myself to touch him, every time I'm about to touch him there I stop and wonder whether he'll enjoy it.
He is way more experienced than me, and I have never stroked a guy's penis before or given them a blowjob. I just don't want him to feel nothing when I'm touching him. Is there any way I can overcome this? And could you give me some tips on how I could turn him on without feeling like an idiot?
I can never orgasm when having sex with my boyfriend. Not with vaginal, anyways. I only have a couple times and that's because we were doing other things. But it takes me a looooooooong time, and I think he just gets tired after awhile even though I know he tries. And then I get frustrated with MYSELF, and I know that upsets him cause he thinks I'm blaming him and he gets mad at me and we get in a fight. Ugh. I can orgasm fairly quickly when I do it myself? I don't get it. What's going on and how do I fix it?

A few months ago I wrote about how research is being done that will allow cars to drive themselves someday soon.
Little did I know how quickly autonomous cars would hit the market, though.
Recently, I drove the 2014 RLX, Acura's new flagship sedan that can, in the right situations, completely drive itself — braking, accelerating and even steering without human input.
Granted, it's limited in scope and thus not the driverless car of science fiction lore, but it's the closest thing I've experienced to date. And it's already reality, available at any Acura dealer to customers who can afford the $12,000 premium that the Advance Package adds to the base $48,450 RLX.
First, some background.
The RLX is the replacement for Acura's nearly irrelevant RL luxury sedan, which sold just a few hundred copies last year. While it was a good value by luxury-brand standards, the RL was seen as too small and too bland to get noticed by the end of its lifespan.
The new RLX is designed to fix all that. It starts with a much bigger footprint, making it significantly longer and wider than the RL was, along with more contemporary styling. What Acura calls a "Jewel Eye" headlight design makes it particularly distinctive on the front end.
While the look and size are big improvements, the overall driving feel still doesn't stand out in this class. Its V6 engine makes 310 horsepower — powerful, but not over-the-top powerful — and its suspension has a nice mix of sportiness and comfort.
As a whole, it's got a middle-of-the-road driving feel, having neither the sumptuous smoothness of a Lexus nor the thrill of a BMW. It seems to be a safe, predictable choice for the Acura brand.
Where it really excels is in technology, though. You'd have to visit an Acura dealer to get the full rundown, but features like rear-wheel steering, in-car e-mail and a computerized dash layout with acres of high-resolution LCD displays make the car look like something out of a sci-fi movie set.

I first heard a few of these songs at a school dance. When the DJ put "Jaded" on, i thought at first it was a Matchbox 20 song~ surprised to find out that it was a lousy and overrated song from one of my favorite classic rock bands. Stay away from this, Rock band gone pop's album. If you want some Aerosmith stuff from when they were still good, get "The Greatest Hits."
Aerosmith Biography - Aerosmith Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
It's difficult to separate Aerosmith from their glorious/inglorious history–one that's seen more revivals than West Side Story. For better or worse, the stalwart Boston quintet carry a load of preconceptions that are impossible to shake. Thus Just Push Play begs the question: If this 12-song set was the product of a bunch of upstarts, would it cause much of a commotion? The answer: Absolutely! Working with coproducers and song collaborators Marti Frederiksen and Mark Hudson, Aerosmith have forged an album that gracefully fuses '70s hard-rock grit with contemporary gloss. The pop-infused likes of the sweeping "Jaded" and the insistent "Sunshine" best demonstrate the formula that Tyler, Perry, and company have settled on for now, while gliding strings surge over Tyler's patented screech and the no-nonsense grind of the four instrumentalists. Mailed-in lyrics and a few self-conscious nods to the times mar Just Push Play, but the pleasures to be had here overwhelm the album's deficiencies. –Steven Stolder

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Ok, so you've picked up this Aerosmith album, and you're looking at the cover thinking, "What the h-e-double hockey sticks is up with this robot lady and all that dang pink?" I mean, we all know that Aerosmith isn't a band that one would associate with the color pink. (At least not until 1997, that is.) This was my big problem when I gave the record its first spin. I couldn't get past that cover. It's just so…NOT Aerosmith! And to tell you the truth, the first time I listened to the album, it didn't really strike me as worthy. But I love this album. There is just a certain way you have to listen to this album. If you listen to it with "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" as the last Aero song you've heard, you're gonna think it's a bomb. You're approaching the music in totally the wrong way. Put down the cd case. Bury that cover under your bed somewhere and don't look at it at all. Now take out "Toys". Take out "Pump". And listen. Listen to that. NOW, put "Play" back in. And listen to it again. I think you'll find it's a different experience, and I'll tell you why. Because this time, you're not listening for something to explain that cover. This time, you're listening to the music. You're hearing what Steve, Joe, Tom, Joey and Brad heard when they wrote the stuff. You're hearing the connections between songs like "The Other Side" and "Under My Skin". You can feel the way that "You See Me Crying" evokes the same kinds of emotion as "Fly Away From Here", and that Steven's harmonica hasn't rusted between "Crazy" and "Luv Lies". Can you hear it? Once you get past all the hype and the promos, you'll realize it's still Aerosmith, and it's still rock'n'roll. And it just rocks. What's that? You don't hear anything? Well, my friend, just push play.
Since the band's reincarnation in 1985 (with the rejoining of Joe Perry after an extended hiatus), we were able to forgive them for the fact that they began their songs with professionals outside the band because, quite simply, 'Permanent Vacation' (1987) and 'Pump' (1989) ranked among Aerosmith's very best records. But the band's slip began with a penchant for power ballads, some that worked ("Cryin" and "What It Takes") and some that did not ("Crazy" and "Angel") and became more pronounced on 'Get a Grip' (1993) and 'Nine Lives' (1997). (Coincidentally, this is also the time when band members other than Steven Tyler and Joe Perry stopped participating in the songwriting.)On their first self-produced record, 'Just Push Play' (2001), the trend continues. If you can get past the image of Aerosmith performing live at the superbowl with Britney Spears, then I suppose the record's first single, "Jaded", is not so bad. However, the record's second single, "Fly Away from Here" is the culmination of all that has precipitated the band's demise – a god-awfully predictable ballad written entirely by non-band members.To be sure, the band adds a few touches of electronica in an attempt to update their sound ("Outta Your Head"). But even the record's strongest cut, "Just Push Play", a return to Aerosmith's riff-rockers, lacks the lyrical play that Steven Tyler characteristically brought to such classics as "Walk This Way" and "Rag Doll".In summary, while 'Just Push Play' is a bit of a disappointment, there is still hope that the band could still produce another classic record someday. (…)
By the time you've toured the world over, sold millions of albums whose discography spans 3 decades and cuts a pretty wide swath of rock and roll between the 20th and 21st centuries, there are many fans who think there is not much more you can do without truly being mocked as a band living off past accolades with no future vision or direction musically.
With "Just push Play", Aerosmith defied the odds and critics, producing the album themselves for the first time in the bands history. The rock songs like "Just push play" take us back to their gritty roots, bypassing some of the more orchestral feel of their late 80's and early 90's stuff. While at the same time, the songwriting and production is strong and soothing in softer, slower tracks like "Fly away from here" and "Beyond Beautiful". At first listen many fans seem to completely abandon this record, but I feel it isn't so much an acquired taste this time around as a fully expected one. Just Push Play shows that they still can write, record, produce, and play some innovative and fun rock. The album cover is also one of the better rock album covers I've seen in a while, and I wouldn't expect anything less than some fun music to go with it than our very own Aerosmith.
THE BAND: Steven Tyler (vocals, piano, harmonica), Joe Perry (guitars), Brad Whitford (guitars), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums & percussion).
THE DISC: (2001) 12 tracks clocking in at just under 51 minutes. Included with the disc is a 14-page booklet containing band pictures, song credits, song lyrics, and thank you's. Recorded and mixed at the Bone Yard (South Shore, MA). Label – Columbia.
COMMENTS: There are two types of Aerosmith. The 1st is the hard rocking raunch & roll band from Sunapee, NH… wrote great songs during the 1970's because they wanted to and that's what they loved doing… whether they got paid big bucks or not. The 2nd is the commercially successful corporate american business version of the band. Depending on which Aero you like – this will either be middle of the road noise, or it will be wonderful music to your ears. Aerosmith is growing – they are keeping up with the times and incorporating the sounds that are popular today. You will hear drum loops and even rap ("Just Push Play") present. They are growing with the times and I can accept that. If your a fan of the old Aero, like me, this probably isn't going to floor you. In my book, the classics "Get Your Wings", "Toys In The Attic" and "Rocks" were probably three of the greatest rock records of the (70's) decade. If you enjoy the new & more recent releases by Aero (90's), you will dig this album. Previous albums like "Nine Lives" and "Get A Grip" were saturated with the power ballads and were not the true band in their best form (also – movie soundtracks like Armegeddon's "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" is a great example). While containing some familiar tongue in cheek rockers, most of the songs were middle of the road AOR tunes with mixed fillers of soft "heartbreak" lullabies geared toward the female audience. On "Just Push Play", the same format is used. While a few hard rockers are present (the best being "Outta Your Head), this album lays down to many ballads ("Avant Garden", "Beyond Beautiful" and "Luv Lies" may be the best of a mixed bag of 'em). I have to admit, when this album first come out I wasn't impressed (not to mention hating the album cover). However, over the years it has absolutely grown on me (especially the title track). The album starts off with an extremely solid 1-2-3 punch ("Beyond Beautiful, "Just Push Play" and "Jaded"). In my opinion, the Aero of 2001 is closer to FM-Lite radio than it is to rock & roll. Not that it's a bad thing, but rather where your likes & dislikes are (3.5 stars).

If you're one of those people who don't want to "live with wires and boxes all over my living room," Yamaha's Digital Sound Projector series of single-speaker surround systems may be exactly what you're looking for.

Home-theater-in-a-box systems (HTIBs) provide a turnkey surround sound solution on the cheap. But with a few exceptions--usually large, bulky component-based systems--they're generally not known for their flexibility or wealth of features.

Apple Inc.'s price cut of its iPhone and new lineup of iPod players are expected to ring in healthy holiday sales, but Wall Street investors accustomed to Apple's meaty profit margins appear a bit disappointed.

Sanchez brightens a sick boy's holiday
Mark Sanchez and the Jets are preparing to make a statement in the postseason, but they found time away from the game recently to bring some happiness into the life of a boy battling cancer.
Pair of punt calls cost Jets
The Jets clinched a playoff spot on Sunday afternoon in Chicago, but not in the manner in which they were hoping, thanks in large part to a pair of questionable calls.

Jay Cutler threw three touchdown passes, Matt Forté ran for 113 yards and the Bears beat the playoff-bound Jets 38-34 on Sunday.
Bears-Jets prediction
The 1-2 punch of LaDainian Tomlinson and Shonn Greene and a stout offensive line with plenty of size could be a tough matchup for for the Bears' run defense on Sunday.
Sanchez set to start Sunday
Barring a setback, Mark Sanchez will start at quarterback for the Jets on Sunday, Rex Ryan said Friday.
Cole's performance highlights Jets' depth
Injuries in the Jets' secondary have forced Marquice Cole into playing more snaps, a role the second-year pro has embraced with his recent play.
Jets-Bears matchup of the day: Thursday
Rex Ryan's "D" has been effective at bringing down quarterbacks of late, making at least three sacks in each of the past four games and 14 sacks total during that span, and the Bears' offensive line faces a tough ...
Jets-Bears matchup of the day: Friday
Devin Hester became the all-time leader in kick returns for touchdowns on Monday night, but the Jets have a pretty dangerous returner, too.
Jets-Bears matchup of the day: Wednesday
Jay Cutler and offensive coordinator Mike Martz said Wednesday that they don't plan to steer completely clear of Jets CB Darrelle Revis on Sunday.
Jets say reported Ryan video no distraction
When asked about the Deadspin.com blog post from Tuesday that showed foot-fetish videos of a woman who bears a striking resemblance to his wife, Michelle, Jets head coach Rex Ryan didn't deny that the star of the videos ...
They said it: Bears edition
Here's what Lovie Smith, Mike Martz and Greg Olsen are saying in advance of the Bears' Week 16 game against the Jets.
No need to kick around Ryan for foot video
The internet and a voyeuristic society have made great bedfellows, and everything, including a video reported to involve Rex Ryan and his wife, is fair game these days.
Jets WR Holmes misses practice with turf toe
Jets WR Santonio Holmes was held out of practice on Wednesday with turf toe.
Jets-Bears matchup of the day: Tuesday
Jets ORT Wayne Hunter could find himself lined up across from one of the league's best pass rushers in his fourth career start.
Goodson signed with the Jets.||||||| Goodson, a former fourth-round pick by the Carolina Panthers, has played in 40 games, rushing for 722 yards and three touchdowns on 160 carries. He also has 59 receptions for 524 yards and a score.
Goodson and San Diego linebacker Takeo Spikes have been ejected after a skirmish in the second quarter of Sunday's game.||||||| Goodson was blocking Spikes when the two locked up. It continued after the play ended.
Running backs Darren McFadden and Goodson are returning to the field for the Oakland Raiders after missing the previous four games with sprained right ankles.||||||| Both McFadden and Goodson are active for Thursday night's game against Denver for the first since getting hurt Nov. 4 against Tampa Bay.
The Oakland Raiders will be without their top two running backs for Sunday's game in Baltimore after Darren McFadden and Goodson missed a third consecutive day of practice.||||||| Both players suffered high ankle sprains in last week's loss to Tampa Bay and have been wearing walking boots since then.
With top two running backs Darren McFadden and Goodson slowed this week by sprained right ankles, the Raiders may need to rely on their passing game when they visit the Baltimore Ravens.||||||| Palmer threw the ball 61 times last week against Tampa Bay as the Raiders (3-5) were forced to play catch-up in the second half after losing McFadden and Goodson to the injuries. Neither back practiced Wednesday and their status remains in doubt for Sunday's game against the Ravens (2-6).

The Federal Reserve sanctioned Goldman Sachs over a former subsidiary's use of "robo-signing," an all-too-common procedure in which foreclosure documents were processed without anyone actually examining the case. The Fed action orders Goldman to retain an independent consultant to review foreclosure proceedings initiated over a certain period of time by Litton Loan Servicing LP, which was owned by Goldman, and to "provide remediation to borrowers who suffered financial injury as a result of wrongful foreclosures or other deficiencies identified." Monetary sanctions will likely be announced later, as well.
