Purpose Statement
Living on campus is a significant part of the overall college experience and educational process. Living-learning environments provide opportunities to grow spiritually, develop interpersonal skills, increase understanding of diverse cultures, and learn self-discipline in organizing time for study, work, and social activities. Residential students learn independent responsibility while living among friends and peers. As stated in the HBU Vision document (
Pillar Four: Establish a Residential Society of Learning...
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
Matthew 22:37 (NASB)
If you look at the architecture of the most venerable European foundations, you see that they were designed for communal practices, a shared life—refectories for common meals, residences, libraries, and lecture halls sharing the quad. A college was a communion and a community, a society of learners.
Darryl Tippens,[i] Pepperdine University
When students live together in addition to taking courses together, the learning extends beyond the classroom into the rest of the campus. Professors teach the students, but students also teach each other by sharing their own understanding of what they learned during a lecture or a debate between classmates. The students have the capacity to spur each other on to deeper thought about the material they study in common. In this way, the work of teaching and learning integrates itself into the lives of the students. They stay in the place where learning occurs and are constantly inspired to think about what they are studying. The same dynamics apply to their spiritual formation. Living together in a community that consciously seeks to follow Christ as a model helps students take their faith seriously. The campus becomes infused with a combination of scholarship, friendship, and Christian fellowship. Students live and study on the same ground. That unique combination is what inspires alumni of many universities to develop powerful bonds to their institutions. Their colleges and their related communities of learning and residence become woven into the tapestries of their lives. They are excited to return and to send their children to the same place to have the same experience.
Living Areas
Students live in the following living areas:
Freshman Village
(FV) - Freshmen
Hodo Residence College
(LH) - Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors

maintenance or repair work is necessary or requested;
health or safety hazards are suspected;
local, state or federal law is suspected of being violated;

HBU Community Guidelines
Alcohol Policy -
Possession or consumption of alcohol is not permitted anywhere on campus. Alcohol-related conduct that ignores the rights of others to a quiet, orderly living environment is not acceptable. Alcohol containers, full or empty, are not allowed in student rooms/apartments.
Chronic Misbehavior -
A student establishes an unacceptable pattern of misconduct when he or she is frequently in trouble, though individual offenses might be minor. A pattern of recalcitrance, irresponsible conduct, or manifest immaturity may be interpreted as a significant disciplinary problem.
Drugs and Illegal Substances -
Use, possession, and/or distribution of drugs and/or illegal substances is strictly prohibited and may result in eviction from campus and referral to the University conduct officer and/or law enforcement agencies. This includes possession of any drug paraphernalia.
Failure to Comply -
Students must comply with all written and verbal requests and instructions from University officials. This includes requests to produce valid identification. Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action and/or fine.
Firearms/Weapons -
Firearms and other weapons are not allowed on the property. All students and their guests must comply with all federal, state, local and University laws and regulations pertaining to all weapons including, without limitation, explosives, bows and arrows, illegal knives, martial arts weapons, air rifles, BB guns, or any other object that can be construed as a weapon.
Implied Consent -
All students in a room/area will be held responsible for the behavior/objects in that room or area. In addition, residents who are not observed participating in misbehavior or in possession of inappropriate items/objects, but are in the presence of a policy violation, may be held responsible. This is called "Implied Consent." If a resident is present, he/she will be held responsible unless it can be clearly demonstrated that he/she had no knowledge of the violation.
Loss of Property -
The University assumes no responsibility for damages and/or loss of personal property due to theft, fire, destruction, acts of God, etc. Students are advised to check with their parents/guardians regarding their insurance coverage. Students are encouraged to get renters' insurance and may contact the HBU Residence Life Office for options. Students are reminded that any belongings left in campus housing after moving out will be disposed of by the University at the resident's expense.
Minor Children -
Residents are required to supervise at all times any guests on the property who are minor children. Babysitting is not permitted in any on-campus housing. With the exception of family housing, guests under the age of 16 are not allowed to stay overnight.
Noise Policy -
Residents and their guests must respect the rights of others at all times by behaving in a manner that is conducive to sleeping and studying. High volume sounds from home and car stereos, televisions, electrical instruments, and such are not permitted. Residents are expected to show consideration and courtesy to others at all times.
Quiet Hours -
In order to meet the many requests of resident students for a better living and learning environment on campus, the hours between 10:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m. have been set aside as quiet hours for residents to relax, study, and sleep.
Posting -
All signs and posters must be pre-approved by the HBU Student Life Office before being posted. If approved, posters, signs, and other items will be posted in designated areas.
Roommate and Neighbor Conflict Resolution -
All residents agree to abide by the following process:
The complaining resident will discuss the problem with an RA/RD; the staff will give tips on how to talk with the roommate/neighbor; the complaining resident will address the concern directly with the roommate/neighbor.
HBU staff will follow up with the complaining resident. If the problem remains, a resolution meeting will be held among roommates/neighbors and staff. A written roommate/neighbor agreement may be formulated to help arrive at resolution.
HBU staff will follow-up and revise the roommate/neighbor agreement if needed.
Only after the staff feels that the roommate/neighbor resolution process has been given full opportunity to resolve the issue will changes in room or apartment assignments be considered. Failure to get along with roommates/neighbors is not grounds for cancellation of a Residence Life Agreement.
Solicitation -
No student is to permit his or her room to be used for any commercial purpose. Soliciting in the Residence Colleges or on University grounds is forbidden without the expressed written permission of the Vice President of Student Life. Campus organizations must obtain permission from Residence Life in order conduct meetings in campus housing areas.

Each room/suite/apartment has a thermostat that controls the inside air temperature. The thermostat setting must be maintained at a reasonable temperature. Residents should not set the thermostat below 70 degrees for cooling or above 82 degrees for heating. Moderate temperature settings help to ensure constant function and help to save energy.
Trash -
All trash must be deposited by residents in provided trash barrels and dumpsters. Failure to deposit trash in the appropriate place may result in fines.

Before a Fire:
know the location of fire safety equipment on the floor,
know the location of all exits throughout the building, and
know the location of designated evacuation locations.
Discovering a Fire:
vacate the building as quickly and safely as possible via the nearest accessible exit,
if time permits, notify University Police (Ext. 3911) and Residence Life Staff.
Being warned of a fire when in your room:
open curtains,
put on shoes and coat and take a wet towel to cover the face,
turn off all lights,
vacate the room, close the door, and lock it if time permits,
vacate the building as quickly and safely as possible by the nearest accessible exit, and
if you encounter smoke while exiting, keep as low to the floor as possible. NOTE: If your door or doorknob is hot, do not attempt to leave your room. Keep your door closed. Place a blanket or towel along the bottom of the door to keep smoke out of the room. If a window is available, hang something out of it and shout for help to attract attention.
After Vacating the Building:
leave the immediate area of the building, and
remain in the designated evacuation location, and at least 100 feet away from the building, until you receive further instructions from emergency personnel and/or staff members.
NOTE: Tampering with fire equipment, smoke detectors, and/or sounding a false fire alarm is against the law. Violators will face a Disciplinary Hearing and could be referred to the civil authorities. If found guilty violators could be fined up to $500 and dismissed from campus housing.

Police say they now know who has been making 'Purge' posters, and will be confronting them soon.
An east Albany neighborhood watch leader says watch groups are essential to keeping communities safe, but members must be responsible.
The George Zimmerman trial is once again bringing up that issue. He's the Florida neighborhood watch leader charged with murdering an unarmed teenager.
When criminals stole valuables from Harold Williams' front porch more than 20 years ago, he started a neighborhood watch group.
It's still going strong, keeping his community safe the right way.
Colonial Village Neighborhood watch block captain Harold Williams is doing a job similar to what George Zimmerman did, but he says he makes sure he keeps an eye on these streets the proper way so he doesn't end up in Zimmerman's shoes.
"Really bad because someone lost their son, now he's on trial and he could go to prison or go to jail, it's really bad and makes block captains should think when their out there right now" said Harold Williams, Neighborhood block captain.
Williams organized a neighborhood watch group in his community back in 1991.
There's still crime. Neighbors had to replace flowers they planted to beautify the area after someone dug them up. And that's certainly not the only crime Williams has seen.
"I went into a house where a young man was at, he was in there and I asked him why he was in there and he said he was looking around, I said if you don't have permission to be in this house you don't need to be in it, this is right in this neighborhood and he preceded to keep going and I went to call 911," said Williams.
Williams has a permit to carry a weapon, but there's only one situation in which he would use it.
"I think in self defense, I don't think you should just fire at nobody because you have a gun and a permit," said Williams.
The neighborhood watch training he got from Albany Police taught him not to depend on his weapon and to call 911 if he sees something suspicious.
"I have a permit to carry mine, so if I go walking like 5 O clock in the morning and it's dark, I'll take mine because all the young people jump on people,murdering, stealing from them," said Williams.
So I take it for my protection, but I'm not going to shoot it unless they jump me, that's a different story," said Williams.
He's confident if he follows proper neighborhood watch rules, he can help keep his neighborhood safe and stay out of trouble himself.
Williams encourages all neighborhood watch block captains to take classes through the Albany Police Department.
If you're interested in those classes or starting a neighborhood watch group call (229) 431-3270

For now customers are sharing the Mid-City Market with constructions crews, but one-by-one the stores are opening their doors just like Panera Bread did Monday.
That's just the beginning of a project bringning new dining options and job opportunities to this stretch of Carrollton Avenue between Bienville and St. Louis streets.
Pizza Hut and Office Depot opened earlier this month, but there are still plenty of coming soon signs.
The Asian restaurant Pei Wei, Five Guys burgers, and Pinkberry are other tasty options headed to the site. Jefferson Feed and Winn-Dixie are also opening stores there.
The Mid-City Business association says there were some opponents since a few of the resturants are chains, but overall people are excited to see new life in the area.
"I think it's a great development. We had some blight there. We have a lot of new stores that will bring people to the area and really drive people to the businesses in the area also," explained Eric Vanhoven, executive vice president of Mid-City Business Association.
"We are very proud to be in the community and myself growing up in the area. Then after (Hurricane) Katrina...to now... we are just very happy," added Glen Jeansome, general manager of Panera Bread.
And someone who lives in the area said, "It's just good to see economic development in New Orleans. This is an area that's been neglected and it's really a renaissance so to speak. That's very encouraging."
The Mid-City Business Association says a grand opening for the market will take place at the end of the month.

UPDATE: Woman, 35, charged with murder of man, 41, in Allerton
Updated 7:54am Monday 20th January 2014 in News By Hannah Postles, T&A Reporter
Police investigating the death of a man in Bradford last night charged a woman with murder.
The 41-year-old man, named locally as Scott Dunne, died at a block of flats in Allerton after reports of a "disturbance" in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Late last night Alexia Heckles, 35, was charged with murder and is due to appear at Bradford Magistrates Court this morning.

J.R. Smith was fined $50,000 earlier this week for repeated incidents of untying opponents' shoelaces. On Thursday night, when the New York Knicks took on the Miami Heat on TNT, coach Mike Woodson decided to send Smith a message about his behavior, benching him for the entire game.
After the game, Woodson refused to address reporters' questions about Smith's benching.
Woodson: "Again, I'm not talking abt JR. If you wanna talk about the game, we'll talk about the game."—
Chris Herring (@HerringWSJ) January 10, 2014
The Knicks won against the two-time defending champions with Smith out, so maybe this will be a permanent change. On the other hand, unless Smith is suspended, he's still getting paid. Maybe benching him isn't a great scare tactic.

As expected, Rob Gronkowski has been marked inactive for Sunday's game between the New England Patriots and the Miami Dolphins due to a broken forearm. Aaron Hernandez is active despite struggling with an ankle injury throughout the season, and is expected to start.
Gronkowski could miss several more weeks, after undergoing surgery after a big performance in Week 11. Hernandez did not suffer any kind of setback despite a quiet Thanksgiving Day performance against the New York Jets.
Fantasy Impact: Hernandez caught just two passes for 36 yards against the Jets, but it's hard not to like his fantasy prospects a lot this week. His greater body of work suggests that he will be targeted early and often with Gronkowski out, setting up Hernandez as arguably one of the best tight ends in fantasy football this week. He deserves serious starting consideration from owners in all formats.

ILLINOIS -- Governor Pat Quinn has signed a new law cracking down on boaters who operate their craft while under the influence.
It ensures anyone operating a boat involved in an accident resulting in serious injury or death must consent to blood alcohol testing.
Those who refuse, test positive for drugs, or exceed the legal blood alcohol limit face suspension of their driver's license.
Alcohol use was a contributing factor in 13 of 101 boating relating incidents last year and five of the fatalities.

Two Bend men arrested in fight, car theft
An argument over a debt led to a fight and an alleged car theft, which in turn resulted in a gun-drawn traffic stop and the arrest of two Bend men, police said Monday.
Police responded around 2:40 p.m. Sunday to a reported "carjacking" in the 100 block of NE Sixth Street, said Cpl. John Lawrence.
Officers were told that Adam Anderson, 25, aided by Christopher Hulgan, 39, was trying to collect on a debt from the 20-year-old victim, Lawrence said.
A fight ensued, during which the victim sustained minor injuries that did not require medical attention, the corporal said.
The victim ultimately was able to get away from Anderson and call 911. While on that call, the victim saw Hulgan driving from the scene in the victim's SUV, Lawrence said.
Police soon found the SUV and conducted a high-risk (guns drawn) traffic stop, arresting Hulgan, the driver, Lawrence said. Anderson returned to the scene and also was arrested, he said.
Both men were taken to the Deschutes County Jail, where each was charged with second-degree robbery, unlawful use of a vehicle and third-degree assault.
Anderson remained held without bail Monday on a probation violation and Hulgan on a parole violation, jail records showed.

Stourbridge Lions to face rivals Kidderminster
1:40pm Thursday 3rd April 2014 in Sport
STOURBRIDGE Lions will take on promotion chasing local rivals Kidderminster at Stourton Park this weekend.
The first game between the two sides looked like it was heading for a draw until a last minute Kidderminster try gave them a dramatic victory, something the Lions haven't forgotten and will be looking to avenge this week, especially as that result was the catalyst that sparked the Kidderminster Midlands 2 West (South) promotion push .
The Lions have had a solid first season in the higher league after last seasons promotion, currently sitting in eighth position with a healthy ten victories so far from their twenty games.
Their latest scalp came two weeks ago against Spartans, who came into the game with the goal of reaching the top two in the league. However this aim was quickly thwarted as the Lions powered to a five try 30-19 victory, with four of the tries coming from their dominant forwards.
This young Lions squad have also managed to reach their third final in as many years. A recent semi-final victory over Ledbury secured their place in the North Midlands Vase final, where they will face old foes Bridgnorth at Dudley Kingswinford's Heathbrook ground on May 11.

Once you've done one Western, it's much easier to keep getting asked back for more of them; you need to prove that you can be convincing on a horse with a hat, as John Wayne, and Kevin Costner, and so many others, have done over the years. And nothing has been a better Western training ground in recent years than the much-missed HBO show "Deadwood." Would Keith Carradine have been asked in for "Cowboys & Aliens" without the show? Eh, maybe. Would Timothy Olyphant have landed contemporary cowboy tale "Justified" without his starring role? Probably not.
And with Quentin Tarantino gearing up for a Western, we knew that at least one veteran of David Milch's masterpiece would find their way in, and it looks like it's happened; Variety reports that Gerard McRaney, who played George Hearst on season two and three of the show, has joined the cast of Tarantino's "Django Unchained." McRaney has Western form going all the way back to "Gunsmoke" (he guest-starred in the last episode), but is probably best known to the general public for the pair of 1980s TV shows, "Simon & Simon" and "Major Dad," and we bet our bottom dollar that it's one of these that child-of-the-gogglebox Tarantino knew him from.
There's no exact word on who McRaney, last seen on screen in "The A-Team," will play, but we're pretty sure it'll be Spencer "Big Daddy" Bennett, a racist slave owner who is the first major hurdle in the quest of the titular Django (Jamie Foxx) to free his wife Broomhilda. Foxx leads a cast that also includes Christoph Waltz as Django's ally Dr. King Schultze, Leonardo DiCaprio as the villain, Calvin Candie, and Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Costner as Candie's henchmen. There's a few more key bits of casting to be filled in, but it looks like Tarantino's well on target for his November start date, and the film's set to hit theaters on December 25th, 2012.

I heard that Dennis Christopher was also in talks for Django Unchained. Another Deadwood alum....

They're as Australian as beers around the BBQ and no doubt they've soundtracked a few. On April 22, rock legends Hoodoo Gurus showed why they've carved themselves a special place in the nation's music history. Curating and headlining the Dig It Up Invitational, a music series of events celebrating 30 years since they released their first single 'Leilani' – the Sydney four-piece proved they're as relevant as they are rocking, even if some things never change.
"I'm wearing the original Hoodoo Gurus purple fringe jacket – it's a bit smelly," frontman Dave Faulkner told the packed Enmore Theatre crowd, flashing a grin. After a day of memorable performances from some of their favourite bands – including The Sonics, Redd Kross, The Lovetones, Died Pretty, The 188.8.131.52's and Royal Headache – the Gurus pulled out a ripping set to a raucous hometown crowd. Fittingly, they drew largely on the debut album that started it all, 'Stoneage Romeos', thrilling fans with gems including 'My Girl' and 'Tojo' before rolling out all-time anthems like 'Bittersweet' and 'Like Wow – Wipeout'.
The crowd lapped it up and on-stage it was clear the feeling was mutual. "Congratulations to all you people for being such a fun loving crowd," beamed Dave. "The right people came tonight!"

Tucson Citizen: Transfer LB Brian Wagner Leaves Arizona Football
Linebacker Brian Wagner's transfer from Akron to Arizona was a surprising blessing for a Wildcat defense in desperate need of depth, but it will not come to fruition. The nation's second leading tackler a season ago, Wagner will not play in 2012. He told The Tucson Citizen's Anthony Gimino he "[doesn't] have love for the game anymore." Wagner's departure is a huge void for a Wildcat defense that ranked No. 107 in points allowed last season. Wagner was immediately eligible per NCAA regulations for graduate students. UA's linebacking corps already was its likely greatest weakness. Now, defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel faces an even more uphill battle readying the unit for competition in an offensively proficient Pac-12.

According to a study by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, 14% of Iowa landfills is food waste.
Iowa Waste Reduction Center (IWRC) on the University of Northern Iowa's campus has a goal this year.
It's to reduce the large amount of food waste going into the landfills, but they are specifically looking at large institutions that waste food.
"So we are trying to divert the food from the landfill to possibility composting operations, food pantries, animal feed operations and even energy recovery," said Dan Nickey, the Program Manager of IWRC.
The group is in the process of setting up a web site where all you have to do is put in your zip code and it will tell you where you can compost or donate your food.
They say this way the food can be of a benefit somewhere else.
"If you can divert it to composting, you are taking that waste and turning it into a reusable resource that can be reused. Or even better yet if you can take food to the food pantry now you are using that waste as a resource for it's original use and feed people," said Nickey.
The Iowa Waste Reduction Center just got the funding to start this project. The project is being funded by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
They hope the web site is up and running in February.

The kids participating in a unique camp at Nashville Ballet are trading in their tutus for capes this summer.
Nashville Ballet is offering superhero and fairytale-themed camps for boys and girls ages 3 to 5.
Each session is a week long, and families got a look Friday at what their little superheroes have been learning so far.
"It's not just we stand at a barre and learn ballet moves. It's really not like that at all, especially for the boys. We're putting on music. We're doing some running, some jumping, some balancing on one leg. So, it's kind of exciting to see what they can do at such a young age," said Jon Upleger, with the Nashville Ballet.
"He came home, showing us his moves every day. He came home, just excited, with new ideas of things to play, imagination just going crazy. It was just a lot of fun and a great, creative experience for him," said Anne Marie Farmer, mother of a camper.
Nashville Ballet's next Superhero Camp will be July 15 to July 19 at the Brentwood campus, and spots are still available.

My husband wants sex, but I don't. What should I do?
My husband has made it clear that he finds me as desirable as ever and wants to continue having sex during our pregnancy. But I feel too big, tired, and unattractive to get in the mood. How can I explain this to him without hurting his feelings or making him feel deprived?

I'm 27 weeks now and I do actually want to, but it's been so awkward for a bit, since I started feeling really huge. A lot of my self esteem must have been tied up in my figure, and now that has slipped. Lately, I've been finding that my husband is looking at porn sites. (I found out accidentally in the history.) Now I'm evem weirder about showing myself to him-I feel like the body changes I've gone through have made him feel less attracted to me, and that he has turned to the computer for his fix of "eye candy." Despite all this, we have it at least three times a week, still, but god if it's not the same in my head now, what with the porn sites and my feeling huge and bizarre about it all. I don't know which came first, me being weird about covering my belly, or him looking at porn...He loves me dearly, and the funny thing is, porn is no issue for me when I'm not pregnant. I would have laughed and not even blinked a few months back- since the site he looks at is really sillly and harmless, just young girls dancing around showing off their breasts and such. But pregnant and getting bigger every day, it feels like a slap for some reason. I dunno. It's all very complicated, isn't it?posted 03/20/2007 by lorio3733
Although I agree it is not a woman's "job" to give a man sex, I do agree with one expectant mother who said it's about compromise and sets specific days/times to be intimate with her spouse. I'm 6? months pregnant and I don't find that having sex bothers me at all, but, I do feel neutral about it. Still, I try not to see it as just sex. I relish in the intimacy - the caresses, the hugs and the kisses - so that the act is not a chore but a sensual escapade, so to speak. I've heard of many women, though, that do experience a diminished libido, and all I can say is if your partner can't be understanding, don't beat yourself up about it. He'll just have to get over it! :-)posted 02/14/2007 by RebeLioness
dear doingthecountdown, i think if the porn sites is making you uncomfortable, you should talk to your husband about it. personally, i find porn disgraceful and insulting to women in general and therefore i don't see it an 'harmless' if it's hurting you emotionally and/ or he is hiding looking at it, it's obviously not harmless. please talk to your husband. you are not ugly, i personally find pregnancy a very very beautiful and sensual thing for a woman, and her husband should share in this beauty! if your husband wants you give in to his love and make sure he is being faithful to you.posted 03/21/2007 by minhtse
I felt that way during my first trimester. I was exhausted, nauseous, and pretty much just wanted to go to sleep at night. I felt bad about it, to the point that maybe 30% of the time I'd give in and do it anyway, and it worked. (I always hated the look on his face when I'd tell him no.) But now I'm almost to the third trimester and feeling much more sexual. I think that if I had said no every time I wanted to, I would've never gotten back in the mood. I'm glad I gave in sometimes, because I think it's made me more comfortable with sex now that I'm much bigger.posted 03/06/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I have the opposite issue. My husband is the one that doesn't want to have sex. I asked him if its because he thinks it will hurt the baby or if he's not attracted to me right now... He said he just doesn't feel like it for some reason. I ask for it sometimes. He gets all, "Awe, shucks." about it like I'm putting him out by wanting it. I never though this would be an issue. There were times when I didn't want it but it didn't last long. I'm lucky if we have sex once a week. Sometimes once every 2 weeks, and still only when I ask for it. Maybe it will go away after the baby, but then who has the time?posted 03/15/2010 by amity.grace
I feel the same way my sex drive is at zero it takes alot to get me aroused. I'm only six weeks so I can only imagine how it will feel at nine months. My husband is very understanding but he is also a man. I try to accomidate him every once in a while we compromise. I hope it kicks up b/c I feel sorry for him. He knows I love him but just dont want to have sex. It is affecting our relationship we dont feel that connection you feel when your intimate with that someone.posted 03/04/2007 by quita2813
Oh, on a side note, my sister saw a shirt that said "All Mommy Wanted Was a Backrub" HA HA - now ain't THAT the truth ? LOLposted 02/21/2007 by Aimbo78
It's extremely important to keep the communication lines open, especially now. Sex is a vital part of a healthy relationship, and you can't just put it on a back burner, especially if one of you desires it strongly. So try all of the below, and find what works for you. 1. Just do it. You might find yourself getting into it after a while. And if you give it an honest try and still aren't into it, then at least your husband sees the effort. He'll be more likely to back down a bit if he knows that you truly honestly don't want it. But I'm guessing that you'll be surprised at how quickly you get into it. 2. Alter techniques. Maybe you'll discover a new position or technique that you find especially pleasuring with your new body. It's likely you'll have to modify your "usual" positions to accomodate your belly anyway. This could be a time of great exploration and newfound sexual excitement for you both! 3. Consider non-intercourse sex. Think back to your teenage years before you had sex for the first time. Try mutual masturbation, sensual massage, or just plain making out. There are other ways to fulfill his desires than just sex. And finally, if you give it a good try and you just can't get into it, acknowledge his human instinct need for sexual gratification and allow him to unashamedly relieve that tension. I'm certainly not advocating cheating, but allow him to masturbate, maybe even join him or help him. Let him know that you understand his needs and you respect them, then help him find other ways to meet them. Also prepare him for the post-partum period, which could last months, when you still won't be ready for sex. Everything changes after a baby, and the physical pain, emotional exhaustion, and sheer overwhelmed feelings are overpowering. So this isn't going to get better soon, as some people may tell you. My husband and I enjoyed a very active sex life while I was pregnant, but it took us a long time to get into it again after delivery. It was 8 weeks before we even tried, and several more months before I started enjoying it. Hang in there, thank your husband for loving you and respecting you, and be sure to do the same back.posted 12/04/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I was struggling to get my husband to understand my lack of interest in sex and that it REALLY had nothing to do with him. I feel closer to him than ever, but my body has NO interest in sex. He is understanding but I think still hurt. Finally, last week, we were talking and I said "My mind and heart wants to have sex with you. But my body doesn't. Its kindof like when a guy has erectile dysfunction." He doesn't have ED, but he finally understood what it meant for my "body" not to be responsive to sex. It was very black/white and put in his terms of how men responds to sex and he was able to understand. Good luck to all of you.posted 02/06/2007 by sweetpea-ready2pop
I understand this compleatly. I am only 17 weeks, and I feel so overwhelmed 24/7 with this pregnancy. I have a 16 month old already. My husband just doesn't understand that I just don't feel like having sex anymore. He thinks it's him, or that I'm "getting it somewhere else" If I won't do it with him! I'm so hurt, and I want to be able to please him, I just don't feel good about myself anymore. I'm too tired, and too emotional 99% of the time. How can I make him see that I still love him, and want him. I'm just having complications of the mind and body right now. Thanks so much!posted 03/06/2007 by mwarren032505
Answer this question

NHL leading goal-scorer Steven Stamkos scored his 57th and 58th goals of the season within the last minute of regulation to snap a 2-2 tie and added an assist to lead the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 4-2 victory over the Washington Capitals Monday night. It was Tampa's second straight win, while stopping a two-game Washington winning streak.
With the Lightning already eliminated from postseason contention and the Capitals battling the Buffalo Sabres for the eighth and final playoff spot and attempting to get back into a late race for the division crown, Tampa could act as only a spoiler against their Southeast Division rivals.
And, with 42-year-old goaltender Dwayne Roloson making 31 saves -- many of the extremely difficult variety -- they did just that.
After a scoreless first 20 minutes, Alexander Semin opened the scoring past the midway point of regulation. Mathieu Perreault gathered the puck along the right wing half wall and whipped a perfect pass right into Semin's wheelhouse, and the sniper made no mistake, beating Roloson with his one-timer for his 20th goal of the season and a 1-0 Washington lead at 12:47.
The turning point in the game may have come in the latter stages of the second period, when Roloson came up with a pair of tremendous saves. With just over four minutes remaining in the middle frame, Alex Ovechkin drove the net and Roloson had to get his left arm up to block a point-blank chip shot to keep the Lightning ahead by a goal. Later in the sequence, Ovechkin sent a cross-ice pass to defenseman Mike Green, who sent a one-timer towardthe open side of the cage. Roloson's glove grabbed the puck as the goaltender got a great push across the goal crease to rob Green, who slammed his stick against the glass in disgust when he realized his shot somehow hadn't made it into the net.
Roloson's sensational stop kept Tampa Bay within a goal, and seemed to spur them on. Moments later with Dmitry Orlov in the penalty box, Teddy Purcell set up in Stamkos' usual trigger position at the left hash marks and took a Stamkos feed, rifling a a shot through the five-hole of Caps netminder Michal Neuvirth for his 21st goal of the year and tying the game up with 2:40 remaining in the stanza.
With the crowd at the Tampa Bay Times Forum still celebrating Purcell's tally, the Lightning would strike again soon after.
Following some tireless forechecking work in the left wing corner by Nate Thompson, Victor Hedman's shot from the left point found its way past a Tom Pyatt screen in front and Neuvirth into the net just 25 seconds later. The defender's fifth goal of the campaign gave the Bolts a 2-1 lead at the second intermission.
With time winding down and Washington looking desperate for some offense, Green would be instrumental in the game-tying goal. The defenseman, who has been oft-injured during a nightmarish season, gathered a loose puck at center ice and started a counter attack rush into the Lightning zone. He lost control of the puck and Tampa defender Brett Clark weakly knocked it away from Green, but it went right to Semin in the right wing circle. Roloson made the save off the Russian's shot but the puck rebounded to Jason Chimera to the goalie's right, and he backhanded a shot into the empty half of the cage for his 20th goal to knot the game at 2-2 with 3:17 remaining.
It appeared the contest was heading to overtime, in which the Caps would have picked up at least one valuable point, but Stamkos and the Lightning had other ideas.
Clark sent a shot from the blue line that Neuvirth stopped, but Stamkos beat Dennis Wideman to the rebound and tucked it past the goalie for his 57th of the season with just 1:03 remaining in the game to give the home team a 3-2 lead.
With Neuvirth pulled for an extra attacker, Stamkos would add his second within the last minute and change as he flipped an airborne shot from his knees while sliding along the right wing half wall for number 58 with just one tick left on the clock, giving "Stammer" a 10-goal lead over Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin in the race for the Rocket Richard Trophy. Stamkos now has eight goals in his last six contests.
For the Capitals, it was a huge missed opportunity to not only put a four-point margin between themselves and Buffalo for eighth, but also pull to within one point of the Florida Panthers for the division lead. Washington hosts the Panthers Thursday night in what could have been a street fight for the title as the regular season winds down.
The Cats and Sabres each have three games left on their respective schedules, while Washington has just two remaining.

Patrons of downtown Iowa City will notice rates in parking ramps going up, but a new program being implemented next week hopes to soften that blow.
"First Hour Free," a program that provides people parking in certain parking ramps one hour free of parking, will begin July 1, courtesy of the City of Iowa City's Transportation Services Department.
The program comes as the city raises the hourly rate of ramp parking from 75 cents per hour to $1 per hour.
Thus, if you park for three hours today, it will cost you $2.25. After the rate increase, but including the "First Hour Free" program, it will cost you $2.
Parking ramps participating in this program include the Capitol Street ramp adjacent to Old Capitol Mall, the Dubuque Street ramp adjacent to the Sheraton Hotel, and the Tower Place ramp on Iowa Avenue.
A fourth ramp, the Court Street Transportation Center, will begin the program in mid-July.
On-street, metered parking will not be included.
A total of 1,150 "smart meters" that take credit cards as well as coins will be installed this weekend, ready for the start of business July 1 around downtown, the City of Iowa City also announced.
Signage for those meters is going up Thursday.

I actually do not Care for the Music 'Dead Season ' performs' But they do desevre every right to perfom and I understand that they have developed a 'Solid'Fan Base' which must make them feel fortunate' also it is Great that'Bull Moose' provides them with a Venue to perform and promote their Music and provide thier fans with a chance to Buy their 'CD"s ..
I Just think this is not the kind of environment that one wants to bring a 'Young Child' to, that is unless 'Dead Season' is the only choice the 'Parents' have for picking out a 'Role Model'
Nice use of Language by 'Slightly Twizted'
Now To 'Billy Dumont'
I have indeed listened to their Lyrics and am aware of their Healthy Lifestyle and the Ideals that they espouse. that is very Positive and I apologize if I offended you and your Band.
Having had the 'Luxury of growing up during the 60's and had the opportunity to see some of the 'Greatest Musical Acts' live in Concert' I feel very fortunate. Perhaps seeing 'Dead Season' for some is a close as they will come to see their idea of 'Perfection'
Couldn't Mr Merril thought of a more Enlightning way to entertain his Children' But then again here is an example of the Complete Brake down of Sensible behavior and lack of Culture as well as education
Is is it this style of music that offends you rbegin. Have you ever listened to the lyrics of DEAD SEASON? Their lyrics are all about enlightenment,and sensible behavior. Live music performed in general is educational and DEAD SEASON are a great example of four people playing music together while respecting each others musical space. All while keeping in time with each other. Great dynamics and all drug and alcohol free. Not to many bands can commit to that. I watched the Merril children there and they were very entertained,enlightened,inspired,and cultured while DEADSEASON were performing. So the only "Complete Breakdown" to me would be the closed mindedness of people like your self. ................Don't knock it until you've rocked it.

text: Best Airlines For Kids Jet-Set Baby: The Best Airlines For Family Travel by Rebecca Gruber 4/04/13 3 Reactions 12 Shares Print 0 5 7 0 0 The days of a young traveler getting a set of wings and a tour of the cockpit may be a thing of the past, but that doesn't mean that travel can't be fun for tots. Armed with seatback entertainment systems, backpacks filled with goodies, and crew members prepared for pint-size flyers, several airlines are going out of their way to make travel fun for kids (and enjoyable for their parents) these days. From those that supply baby food to those that will have a birthday cake ready for your tot's big day, here are 10 airlines for families on the fly! Air New Zealand What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 On Air New Zealand, tots are treated to plenty of activities — including a family of cartoon characters created just for the airline. Kid-friendly services: All kids are presented with a Kids Pack featuring coloring pencils, activity books, a magic slate, and stickers. Cartoon-character-adorned headrests make the plane look a bit more kid-friendly, while The Jet Cadets — a team of cartoon secret agents — help entertain tots throughout the flight. For families who need a bit more room to stretch out, the airline offers Skycouch — a row of three economy seats that "together create a flexible space for whatever you want it to be — an area to relax and stretch out in, or for the kids to use as a play area. It's like having your very own couch on the plane." 1 / 10 KLM What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 KLM has both parents and tots in mind with its family-friendly policies. Kid-friendly services: The airline's Junior Jet Service ensures that young frequent fliers have access to play packages, healthy meal options (including 100 percent peanut-free meals and sterilized baby food for kids under 2 years old), and emergency packs filled with diapers and wipes on board. The airline also allows umbrella strollers to be brought on board and reserves bulkhead seats for parents with young children. 2 / 10 Japan Airlines What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Japan Airlines has won over parents of both infants and older tots with kid packs designed for various age groups. Kid-friendly services: For the youngest travelers, the JAL Baby Cruise Kit includes baby food for an infant, an airplane-shaped spoon, and a bib in a cute container that parents can take with them upon arriving at their destination. Baby bassinets, powdered formula, baby bottles, and disposable diapers are also available on board. Kids packs are filled with an array of activities to keep older tots busy, including soft toys, origami, building blocks, books, and model planes. 3 / 10 Singapore Airlines What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Singapore Airlines went straight to the source of all things fun when designing its kid-friendly services. Kid-friendly services: The airline has a policy of seating parents and kids in the bulkhead when traveling in economy, so kids will be less likely to kick their fellow passengers' seats throughout a flight. Babies and tots will benefit from diapers, disposable bibs, feeding bottles, and baby wipes that are available on board upon request. But the happiest kids may be older tots who receive goody bags filled with toys from Hasbro — think tubs of Play-Doh, small versions of Monopoly, Transformers, Littlest Pet Shop, and more — to keep them busy throughout the flight. And when it comes to food, the airline offers the usual kid fare — fish sticks, mac and cheese, etc., as well as treats like cookies during the trip. 4 / 10 Gulf Air What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When it comes to keeping kids happy, Gulf Air's Sky Nanny program may be the best in the world. Kid-friendly services: The Sky Nanny program is just what it sounds like, an onboard nanny that cares for your child during your flight. These highly trained air hostesses will help escort families to their seats, suggest appropriate dining times for children, entertain tots throughout the flight, and ensure they are cared for if adults fall asleep or want to delve into a book. The airline's in-flight entertainment system is stocked with Disney flicks and kids movies. Baby food, diapers, baby powder, and cotton packs are available on all flights. Kids also receive picture books, activity books, coloring books, and pencils upon boarding their flights. 6 / 10 JetBlue What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Everyone knows JetBlue for its fun atmosphere — it was the first US airline to offer TVs in seatbacks on every flight. But as the airline's grown, so has the number of amenities it offers to families. Kid-friendly services: Those seatback televisions are full of kid-friendly TV networks like Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and Animal Planet, as well as video games for older tots. The blue snacks the airline is known for — chips, pretzels, etc. — are unlimited and free. JetBlue's Wings For Autism program not only offers families affected by autism to visit planes and familiarize themselves with the layouts and experience, but trains pilots and crew members to better help families working their way through autism spectrum disorders. And the airline's Soar With Reading program — a partnership with PBS Kids — provides kids with a free activity kit with reading games based on PBS Kids educational programming. Source: Blue Tales 6 / 10 Qantas What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Australian-based Qantas has long had a reputation as a family-friendly airline, and it's still living up to its promise. Kid-friendly services: The youngest passengers on Qantas planes (those 2 and under) have unlimited baby cereal, milk, powdered formula, wipes, diapers, and baby powder at their disposal — and all tots receive a plush toy upon boarding. Kids between the ages of 3-11 can choose from a variety of activity kits, including the "Race Around the World Kit" filled with an activity book, time zone card, deck of cards, coloring pen, and puzzle, and the Sesame Street Kids Kit with Elmo or Cookie Monster satchel with an activity book, magic slate, coloring pencils, pencil sharpener, and stencil. International flights with in-seat screens offer over 50 interactive games, up to eight family movies per month, an extensive range of children's audio books, and plenty of Disney and Nickelodeon shows on the screens. In five Qantas terminals within Australia, the airline offers Family Zones with Apple and Sony electronics and Mattel toys. The Family Zone extends to some flights as well, where parents can put locks on the entertainment systems. 7 / 10 Virgin Atlantic What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Virgin Atlantic's sleek image is not lost on the tiniest of travelers. The British airline's kid-friendly amenities make it a joy for the entire family to fly. Kid-friendly services: Virgin's K-iD backpacks are stuffed with activities to keep tots busy during overseas flights. Each bag has a book, a baseball hat, a magazine, a digital watch, a packet of sweets, and a coloring pen. The airline's in-flight entertainment system features channels for preschoolers, 5-12-year-olds, and teenagers. Kids' blockbuster movies are also routinely featured on the TV sets. Kids meals are also especially tot-friendly with fish sticks, pizza, and chocolate all making appearances on the menu. 8 / 10 El Al What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Israeli airline El Al knows that 10 and a half hours is a long time for kids to keep still on a plane, so it's loading up on kid-friendly amenities to keep tots happy in flight. Kid-friendly services: During busy holiday travel seasons (and throughout the Summer), El Al provides all tots with The Traveling Family activity booklet filled with coloring paper, exercises, word games, a travel journal, and exciting facts about the world. A clown can also be found aboard, entertaining tots with skits and magic tricks during the flight. On aircraft with personal screens, a children's channel airs movies, TV shows, fairy tales, and more. 9 / 10 Emirates What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Emirates knows that the 13-hour flight from NYC to Dubai is rough on tots, so its "boredom busters" are designed to keep kids highly entertained while in flight. Kid-friendly services: Emirates provides kids with special brightly colored headsets for their seatback in-flight entertainment system, featuring hundreds of channels of TV, movie, music, and video game programming. If you let the airline know that it is your child's birthday in advance, flight attendants will deliver a cake en route to your destination and take a party photo for your tot to show off when she gets home. For babies, kits with wet wipes, cream, a bib, a teething ring, and a glove puppet are available, as well as baby food, formula, bottles, and diapers upon request. Toddlers are offered backpacks with toys, a magazine, and merchandise, as well as Blanket Buddies (stuffed animals attached to fleece blankets), Seatbelt Critters, or Magnetic Sketchers. Older kids will benefit from the airline's collaboration with surfing/snowboarding giant Quiksilver. They'll receive velcro surf wallets and travel folios, a Dr. Seuss storybook, and fun-fact cards at their seats. The airline's in-flight entertainment system has 30 channels of family programming at the ready, too. 11 / 10 0 5 7 0 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Travel With KidsFamily TravelAir Travel Family Travel The 10 Best National Parks to Visit With Kids 6/14 Surf's Up!
