Men Want Sex...Here are 5 Things MORE Important to Him
I recently asked a friend of mine what men want in a relationship and she point blank told me, "That's the easiest question ever," she said. "Men just want sex!"
While her response was obvious, my response to her was not.
In studying and writing about relationships, sexuality and marriage for years, my husband and I have distilled the whole 'love and relationship' game to some basic communication fundamentals. Our blog at http://makeyourwifehot.com/bragblog sheds some light on communication basics and advanced strategies to create a passionate romance regardless of how long you've been together.
Would you be surprised if I told you sex isn't even in the top 5 things men really want from their partner? Sure, they are visual and seem quite myopic in their hunger for sex. But, sex and the pleasure it provides isn't the final emotional feeling that men want from their girlfriends and wives, in the end, it's five other often overlooked and under-appreciated things that men crave, desire, want, and need to make their relationship the envy of their peers. Each of these five things can *lead* to great sex, but none require it. Curious? Read on...
Women, when your man feels at his best, he will seek out every opportunity to spend more time with you and to satisfy your needs. So, it's in your best interest to give him what he wants (and it's easier than you would ever believe), so you'll get more of what you want. See how it works?
1. Men Want To Be Adored
In every man, there is a little boy (Remember what a baby he is when he is sick?). A man's ego is fragile. Before the industrial revolution, the man with the most amount of wealth (we'll leave out the "big harem" example) was the strongest warrior and/or the most successful hunter. Ever since he's traded in his spear for a pda, men have defined their masculinity through sports and/or financial success. The more you give him SPECIFIC accolades about his success, the clearer your message of love and respect will be towards him. Tell him why you love him so much, often and clearly. Let him know that he is important to you. Just as you may be his Princess, your man wants to know he's your Prince.
2. Men Want To Be Consulted
There is no need to pretend you're stupid, but when you find something your man is knowledgeable or passionate about, let him take the stage. When you show a sincere interest in his knowledge base, the more you subtly stroke his ego. Again, don't be sarcastic or placating. The more you take a sincere interest in his work and hobbies, the stronger your connection will become. Ask his opinion and let him feel he's an active part of your decisions and choices.
3. Men Want To Be Trusted
Many of us have been hurt or lied to, but if your man isn't the one who hurt you, trust him. After we are hurt, we tend to keep our guard up. "Guilty until proven innocent" is a popular attitude after one is hurt. Trust must be earned after a person has lied, of course. But "innocent until proven guilty" can go a long way to building more of a connection that can lead to a two-way street of trust. Go out of your way to give him no reason to doubt you and your own trustworthiness. Let him know you feel safe and secure with him.
4. Men Want To Feel Sexy
Of course it is time to stroke his…uhmm….ego, but men like to feel sexy, handsome or fit just as much as women do. You will get SO much mileage out of a few "Do you know how sexy you are to me?" or "You look hot in that!" comments. Keep the compliments sincere and specific. Don't praise his beer gut and say, "More to love!" Like you, he knows what areas he has to work on. However, the more you point out his strong points, the more he will work on correcting his weaknesses as well. Additionally, he will start appreciating and complimenting you more too!
5. Men Want You To Be Their Friend
Many men don't have the traditional social outlets that women do to discuss their emotions, dreams, and fears. By being his friend first, without judging, you allow him to open up. Interestingly, men RARELY open up to other men. They are taught at an early age NOT to shed a tear which results in them not sharing their feelings in general. Coincidentally, most affairs are born from this. A man may have a difficult time sharing his deep troubles with his wife, but can with his secretary. OOPS! Be sure you set up a "safe zone" of conversation which allows him to be vulnerable and open. Letting him know that this "safe zone" (Both verbally and geographically) in NO WAY diminishes your opinion of his manliness in all other areas.
The love of a woman can make or break a man. The woman who criticizes her man creates what she despises. The woman who encourages her man and gives him what he truly wants creates what she inspires. Give your man what he wants and your life, your relationship, and your love will get better with every passing day. You will experience more loving, more caressing and more attention from your man than you ever imagined possible!

I have about 25 magicolor 2400 series toners sitting in a store room basically collecting dust since we threw out the 6 2430DL's we used to have.
Ideally I would like to sell them for about £60 +p&p each but I am willing to take reasonable offers - especially if you buy the lot.
I have both sealed boxed toners as well as a load of sealed loose ones which came as part of several value packs we bought over time.
I have as follows;
2x Black
1x Cyan
3x Magenta
3x Yellow
4x Cyan
6x Magenta
6x Yellow
I will be able to send the cartridges if bought in small numbers (might be able to send them all at once depending on the cost of postage) otherwise collection would be from Teignmouth Community College in Devon (contact me beforehand if you do decide to pickup - we have a morning receptionist who gets all uppity if people show up unannounced and funnily enough moans to us about not being able to transfer calls to our department if we're in the middle of a phone call... )
Payment can be either Cash-On-Delivery, Cash-On-Pickup and I will also allow Paypal.
Last edited by Shielder; 23rd January 2009 at 06:49 PM. Reason: As I stood up, I noticed another yellow toner hiding on top of the other toner boxes so i've amended to reflect this.

With Some Kind of Monster, how hesitant did you feel airing all that dirty laundry?
I didn't want any of it to come out. But then I thought it can help people see that therapy is not a bad thing. I come from a generation where therapy was stigmatized. Going to see a shrink was considered a weakness. But after my experiences, my whole deal was, "If we can help people work their way through whatever situation they're going through, then I'm fine with it." But, by the same token, I'm a very private person. So I really had to make a concession. If there's a band out there on the verge of breaking up, maybe they'll see this movie and think otherwise. I had a long talk with the producers about that very thing.
After the Napster backlash, how do you look back on the band's attempt to fight downloading?
I'm still against file-sharing. I still think people should respect the concept of intellectual property. I don't have a problem with downloading that intellectual property once the people that deserve to be paid do get paid. Technology is a double-edged sword. It's convenient and quick, but we pay a pretty high price for that convenience, that impatience. I would much rather be able to go out and buy a better-sounding CD than a shitty MP3. The whole email and texting thing — I'm not sure if it's really bringing us together as much as it's isolating us. I kind of miss how people used to just call each other up.

Company IDs 7 killed in Afghanistan plane crashMay 1, 2013 @ 4:47 am
DETROIT (AP) - Jamie Brokaw was an experienced navigator who was no stranger to dangerous flying situations and had the skills to stay cool in the face of danger, according to close friend Chris Connerton.
"He was a very good person and very smart person," Connerton told The Associated Press by telephone from Rochester, Minn.
Brokaw, 33, of Monroe, Mich., was among seven Americans killed Monday when their National Air Cargo plane crashed near an Air Force base in Afghanistan. Six of the victims were from Michigan and a seventh was from Kentucky, said Shirley Kaufman, National Air Cargo vice president.
Connerton said Brokaw was a key reason he was able to make it through flight school in Jacksonville, Fla., where they met.
Connerton also described a harrowing flight two years ago from Toledo, Ohio, to an international flight expo in Lakeland, Fla. Connerton said ice had built up on the plane to the point that he could no longer get it to climb.
"If it wasn't for Jamie's navigation and know-how ... we wouldn't have made it," Connerton said.
Killed along with Brokaw in the Afghanistan crash were maintenance worker Gary Stockdale, 51, of Romulus, Mich.; pilots Brad Hasler, 34, of Trenton, Mich., and Jeremy Lipka, 37, of Brooklyn, Mich.; first officer Rinku Summan, 32, of Canton, Mich.; loadmaster Michael Sheets, 36, of Ypsilanti, Mich.; and maintenance crewman Timothy Garrett, 51, of Louisville, Ky.
Building model planes and working on real ones comprised Stockdale's passion, filling the family's basement with models in his youth, jumping into aviation as a career at age 16 _ and later working at two Detroit-area airports.
Stockdale also knew the dangers of flying, his older brother said Tuesday.
"He always said it was dangerous," said Glenn Stockdale, 55. "He would always say, `You either will die in a car crash or a ball of flame in a plane.'"
Lipka had flow in Iraq as well as Afghanistan and had close calls before, said his stepfather, Dave Buttman.
"There was risk there all the time. He knew the risks. He volunteered to take the trips," Buttman told the Star Tribune of Minneapolis. "Basically, you're taking your chances flying in there and he was just happy to be one of the pilots to do it."
The Dubai-bound Boeing 747-400 _ operated by National Air Cargo _ crashed just after takeoff Monday from Bagram Air Base around 11:20 a.m. local time, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a statement Tuesday.
The accident site is within the perimeter of Bagram Air Base.
The Taliban quickly claimed responsibility for downing the plane, but NATO said the claims were false and there was no sign of insurgent activity in the area at the time of the crash.
The NTSB said it will lead a team of three investigators to assist the Afghanistan Ministry of Transportation and Commercial Aviation in investigating the crash. But a ministry spokesman, Nangoialy Qalatwal, said Tuesday the ministry is not involved with the investigation because it occurred at a military and not a civilian airport.
Kaufman said the plane _ owned by National Airlines, an Orlando, Fla.-based subsidiary of National Air Cargo _ was carrying vehicles and other cargo.
Elena Garrett, of Jeffersonville, Ind., just across the Ohio River from Louisville, said ex-husband Timothy Garrett would have turned 52 on Saturday. They have two daughters together, ages 11 and 12.
"We're all devastated," Elena Garrett said about his death. "We were still best friends. He's the best father I've ever seen (and) ready to help anybody. He would give the shirt off his back for anybody."
Bill Hasler said his family learned Monday morning that his brother, Brad, was one of the crash victims.
"Brad was a wonderful father to two young children, a beloved husband to a wife who is expecting another child, a loving son, and the most loyal and supportive brother I could have ever asked for," Bill Hasler said in a statement. "His influence in the lives of all of us who loved him is immeasurable, and our grief is indescribable."
National Airlines was based until recently at Michigan's Willow Run Airport, west of Detroit. It carries cargo both commercially and for the military, Kaufman said. She said the company employs about 225 people.
Summan had worked 2 1/2 years for National Air Cargo, said his wife, Rajnit Summan.
Rajnit Summan said she last spoke to her husband Sunday.
"I told him to be safe," she said.
Joan Lowy reported from Washington. Associated Press writers David N. Goodman in Detroit, Elizabeth Campbell in Louisville, Ky., and Patrick Quinn in Kabul, Afghanistan, contributed to this report.

But Arby's shouldn't rest too easy. Frankly, the best spuds I found were at Sonic (2,900 locations in the U.S. and a market capitalization topping $1.5 billion) -- and it's not too late to introduce a Best Tater Tot division.
Leftovers: Cross your fingers that the abrupt closing of Cafe Cero is temporary, as the answering machine of the mutt Italo-Mediterranean house/restaurant at 1446 South Broadway suggests. After "minor renovations," the message promises, Cafe Cero will reopen at the end of the month. In other SoBo news, Genroku has reopened in a new location at 2901 South Broadway in Englewood, after failing to make it on South Colorado Boulevard. This restaurant is a one-stop shop for all your Japanese food needs, with sushi (both by the piece and as boat dinners), tempura, katsu and teriyaki dishes, as well as a full bar.

Say so long to the Tom Tom Room, formerly Tommy Tsunami's, at 1432 Market Street, which will be retooled by the Larimer Group to work better with Larimer Square's hot-hot restaurant grouping; the Tivoli Deer up in Kittredge, the Scandinavian eatery that's folded its gravlax after two decades; and Heavenly Daze, the never-great brewpub at 208 South Kalamath Street. But no matter how bad the restaurant environment seems, new places keep opening. Last week, the Niwot Tavern debuted in the former Flanagan's space at 7960 Niwot Road in Niwot; and Bob's Steakhouse, brought to Denver out of Texas by owner Bob Sambol, rolled out the red carpet in the Clayton Lane development.

A Spokane man who gunned down two men in a dispute over a car trade has been sentenced to nearly 63 years in prison.
Merle W. Harvey, 28, is in jail awaiting transport to state prison after Superior Court Judge Tari Eitzen sentenced him on Friday to 753 months in prison.
A jury convicted him in late September of first-degree murder, second-degree murder and two counts of first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm for the Sept. 26, 2009, killings of 41-year-old Jack T. Lamere and 45-year-old Jacob J. Potter.
Harvey had claimed self defense. He declined to speak at the hearing, which included testimony from victim family members. He was ordered to serve consecutive sentences for the murders with an extra 10 years because two firearms were used.
Defense lawyer Scott Mason had requested a sentence of 40 years. But Eitzen pointed out that she'd sentenced Harvey to an exceptionally low sentence after he was convicted of first-degree assault in 2000. She believed he would turn his life around then, but he proved her wrong.
Sept. 29, 2010: Harvey convicted of 2 murders
Sept. 23, 2010: Forced haircut preluded double homicide
Sept. 16, 2010 : Trial begins in double homicide over cars
Sept. 28, 2009: Suspect at large after shooting
Sept. 29, 2009: Victim had sought new life

It all started with Call of Duty 4, the first Modern Warfare. This game introduced us to a new breed of multiplayer. It singlehandedly breathed new life in the first person shooter. It was like the answer was right in front of us. Just add an rpg element with visable and useable player progression. Previous Call of duty's had already nailed the controls (its just something about the connection with the controller and whats happening on screen- it feels so right). Adding addictive multiplayer and amazing controls, Infinity Ward had the winning formula. To a lot of people the single player was throw-away. It was like a summer action flick. It had a decent story, and provided a good distraction – especially if your getting your ass kicked online. At this point people were just realizing the potential of this game.
Modern Warfare 2 was announced and the hype surrounding it was incredible. People were craving any information they could get their hands on. The sales numbers spoke for themselves. Modern Warfare 2 had the biggest day one sales numbers of any game, selling a record breaking 7 million worldwide. Everyone was hooked, including myself. I remember a specific scenario, justifying my insanity (dedication). My wife was away at work one time and I was watching our 1 year old (at the time) daughter. She fell asleep in my arms and she would cry if I laid her down. So what did I do. I did what any normal and decent human being would do. I played Modern Warfare 2 while I held her for 2 hours. It was this kind of dedication that I had and I'm sure many others shared. Modern Warfare 2 upped the ante by adding crazy kill streaks (one that would let you drop a nuke, ending the party), better weapons, a spec ops mode for co-op play, and more. The fanbase was growing rapidly. It even brought in new players. Modern Warfare 2 was supported by infinity ward for a long time. Releasing map pack after map pack.
Call of Duty: Black Ops was released 1 year later. The sales figures were similar to the previous titles, it would go on be the highest grossing videogame ever. Black Ops was set in the 60's, during the Cold War. To me it didn't really offer anything new, it still had that really addicting multiplayer. Now we have the next entry in the series: Modern Warfare 3, this game will conclude the story. Everything has been turned up to 11, unfortunately the single player ends quickly. I guess thats more reason to jump into the multiplayer cause its better than it ever was. Not much has really changed, but thats a good thing. What has changed though are all really good ideas that make sense. Killstreaks are now known as pointstreaks. These points are distrubted into strike packages which are divided up into 3 groups: Assault, specialist, and support. The rewards for the support package don't reset when the player dies, which is nice for those of us that don't play 25 hours a day.
Modern Warfare is one of the reasons videogaming is more mainstream than it ever was. People will tell you that they don't play video games, just Modern Warfare. Even celebrities like Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube proclaim that they play it. I know I answered my own question here about why gamers are so obsessed with the call of duty franchise. In fact I may be one of them. The addictive multiplayer, the rollercoaster single player, the amazing and accurate controls, the list goes on. Let's just hope they don't lose steam releasing this game annually. Which is a whole other story.
As you probably remember last year the folks over at Activision were giving away a Jeep to celebrate Black Ops. Now it seems like they are at it again, but with Modern Warfare 3 and things couldn't get any better especially if you are a fan. Head on over to the links below to see more details on the Modern Warfare 3 Jeep that will celebrate the upcoming game.

Most Call of Duty: Black Ops fans already know about Rezurrection, the upcoming dlc, but what separates this downloadable content is that it's all about the zombies and all maps are for the zombie fans. In the trailer below you get a behind the scenes preview on what's expected as well as the maps and all that cool stuff. Take a look below.
Take this as a rumor as of now, but according to a Dutch website there is information that sort of suggests that there might be a new Call of Duty 9: Black Ops 2 game. In the leaked details they are saying that "Iron Wolf" might be the code-name of the game and this information comes from someone that has a friend that works at Treyarch. This person's friend apparently logged in to XBOX Live and played a Team Deathmatch battle. Below are some screenshots of the leak.
If you are a Call of Duty fan out there you may be interested to know that that the folks over at Gamestop are going to be giving away 450 tickets to the upcoming Call of Duty XP event held in Los Angeles. These tickets are for those that pre-order the game through them. The deal get's better as it gives you a chance to win team entry to the ultimate Call of Duty: Black Ops tournament held at the event, which could win you $1 million dollars. Check out the link below to pre-order andenter for a chance to win.
Below are more details
Get in Early to Get More. Enter to Win Call of Duty® XP Tickets or Guaranteed Call of Duty XP Tournament Entry When You Pre-Order Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3 at GameStop
Attention Call of Duty fans: Trying to find tickets or score a tournament spot for the first-ever ultimate fan experience, Call of Duty XP? Well, this could be your lucky day. GameStop recently announced additional pre-order exclusive opportunities for customers who pre-order Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: the chance to win tickets to Call of Duty XP and the chance to win a guaranteed tournament spot for the Call of Duty XP tournament.
Customers who pre-order the most anticipated game of the year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 at U.S. GameStop stores or online at GameStop.com can enter to win one of 450 regular tickets to the mega event. All entries must be received by Aug. 10, 2011.
A second exclusive gives Modern Warfare 3 pre-order customers the opportunity to win a team entry for the ultimate Call of Duty®: Black Ops tournament at Call of Duty XP. The winner will have the opportunity to compete amongst the best Call of Duty players in the world in the one million dollar tournament. All entries must be received by Aug. 5, 2011.
Call of Duty XP is the first-ever celebration for the Call of Duty community where more than 6,000 fans will be the first to witness the world premiere of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer. Attendees will be the only ones to get early hands-on time with multiplayer and Spec Ops, enjoy live musical acts, run The Pit and play paintball on Scrapyard, among many other things. It will be a live experience you don't want to miss! Also on display for the first time will be Call of Duty® Elite, the innovative new online service, built from the ground up for the worldwide Call of Duty community and launching with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be available at GameStop stores nationwide and online at GameStop.com on Nov. 8, 2011, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. For more information, visit www.gamestop.com/MW3.
The folks over at Activision are pimping Call of Duty: Black Ops out of it's existence as there is going to be a fourth DLC around the end of September. The DLC will be called Resurrection and will be available on the PS3, XBOX 360, and PC and as of now the details are very scarce as to what it is we're getting. Knowing Activision chances are that they are probably going to put all the maps of the previous 3 DLC's together and sell it to you guys for $25 bucks, but that's just our speculation. We will keep you guys updated with the latest on this.
Check out the new trailer for the third DLC pack on Call of Duty: Black Ops. In case you didn't know the next downloadable content pack is going to be called Annihilation and we received a tip of it yesterday and posted it right away, but today we got you guys the trailer. It seems like this map pack is finally answering our prayers as it has a map that resembles the one and only "Nuketown" one of our favorite maps on the game. There is a Zombie map and it looks promising, but really the maps are still too big for a Call of Duty game. You can expect Call of Duty: Black Ops Annihilation map pack on the XBOX 360 on the 28th of this month and probably a month later on the Playstation 3. For now check out the preview below.
It seems like Activision is going to milk the cow until the very end with Black Ops as there is new info out there that sort of suggests DLC in the future. Now this Downloadable content may probably be for the upcoming Modern Warfare 3, there are chances of it being for Black Ops. The image below shows five different maps on it and it seems like Gamestop will be a part of getting you that DLC. The maps are named Hangar 18, Hazard, Drive In, Silo and a Zombie one. Unless Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is going to have downloadable content and are going to include zombies this DLC has to be for Black Ops.
Check out the photo below and click on it to enlarge
Call of Duty: Black Ops fans out there check out these new screenshots for the upcoming map that we all know as Escalation. The first map pack was kind of a disappointment at least for us, but this second group of maps looks like something we may like. These new maps look good and if you didn't know the name of the five maps they are called Hotel, Convoy, Zoo, Stockpile and Call of the Dead. Expect this DLC on May 3, 2011 on the XBOX 360 via XBOX Live.

The Shepherd Leader: Achieving Effective Shepherding in Your Church
Related Media
Listen to an episode of Christ the Center entitled Shepherding Ministry.
Publisher's Description
Leaders in the church are called to be shepherds, not a board of directors. This requires involvement in a personal shepherding ministry among the people. The Shepherd Leader unpacks the four primary ministries of shepherds—knowing, feeding, leading, and protecting—on macro (church-wide) and micro (personal) levels, providing seven elements to be incorporated into an effective shepherding plan.
Includes a Foreword by Sinclair Ferguson

Wait a minute and let me rest! Cross-fit tonight. lol
Sheesh-it was nearly 70 degrees on Sunday and today we wake up to snow cover. I have a bunch of paperwork to get done and at some point I need to try to tackle our taxes.
Yesterday my daughter-in-law had an ultrasound to check the baby's progress. They said the baby was moving around too much and they couldn't get any measurements on her. I considered that good news. If she is moving around then that is good-right?
Computer classes for my mother and dance for my daughter so it'll probably be leftovers for dinner.

OLD sites ARE created equal!
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 06-25-2014 - 5:16pm
OMG I think I've tried them all: Zoosk, Match, POF. The only one I think I haven't is EHarmony (too expensive? I can't remember why). Most recently I joined OurTime.
I'd say there is overall a higher quality in the men but it's the same ole, same ole. Keep getting hits from men out of state, much older men, or men that look terrible for their age. Half of them even say they prefer someone younger.
I realize I'm not a beauty queen but I have never considered myself homely and my figure is still pretty decent.
UGHH. Once this subscription runs out I'm done. I have little to no faith left in men. So very frustrating. Maybe I'll should give one last shot and try a cougar site :-)) Just kidding!

Online dating is certainly not for the faint-hearted. I have done it off and on for the last six years. Like you, I hear from much older men, grizzled and pot-bellied (and shirtless) who write things like "Your hot". But I have also met nice guys, too, it just hasn't worked out with any of them. In the last five years, the only dates I have had were a result of OLD, so I'm going to keep on with it (and yes, I do "get out in the world" I just don't tend to meet desirable men my age). I think it's important to take extended breaks from it, because it does wear you down.
I think the quality of the site has a lot to do with the area you live in. In my neck of the woods, POF is just awful. I also joined eHarmony a few months ago and it has been useless, and I have cancelled. They just can't find a match for me, so they keep sending men who are "outside of my settings" and most are just horrible. So, I am on Match and have had the best luck with that. One trick you can do on Match is to update your profile frequently--somehow this increases your ranking when someone does a search. You can just change one word of your profile and you become more visible for a while (it's kind of sad that I know these things, right?)
Unfortunately, in my age range (59), I think that OLD is my best bet for meeting someone. The men I have met were all men I would have never met otherwise—and some I wish I hadn't! You just have to separate the wheat from the chaff, and there's a lot of chaff out there. In spite of it all, I haven't lost faith in men, I just haven't met the right one.
But I can relate to the frustration—I gave up in disgust many times, but then always returned.
p.s. I never tried OurTime. Their commercials make me want to gag.
|Thu, 06-26-2014 - 11:16am
Yeah, that's why I can't be bothered w./ OLD any more. I still have a profile up on OKC and POF because it's free--maybe once a month I'll check to see if there are any new men. I very rarely message someone but I figure since I'm not on there often, they aren't seeing my profile. There are few men that I like and the ones I message don't respond--and believe me, I only pick the guys I think I have a lot in common with. I did find the best selection on match--I think when people pay they tend to take it a little more seriously. But you also find the scammers too. I live near a big city and it's not like there is no choice--there are probably 800 men in my age group with in 25 miles--and it takes a lot of time and effort to go through those profiles. At least on match, you can check off the ones you don't like so you don't see those profiles again. I thought EH was the worst--I tried it once for a 3-month special and in all that time, I only emailed one guy and we never met. at least on match, when I was doing it, I met a couple of guys.
For me, I just couldn't take all the rejection. Because I was paying, I felt like I should devote some time to it and not waste my money, so I'd email a lot of guys and not get much of a response. of course the guys who emailed me were very undesirable--and believe me, I try to be open minded and give people a chance. I also think that OLD has limitations because the first thing you think about is the picture--I'm sure there are guys I'd meet IRL who aren't that great looking but if I get to know them and like them, maybe I'd consider dating them and vice versa--so I'm sure there are many guys who just look at my picture, say never mind, and don't even bother to read the profile--I just think that's normal for the situation. Then there's the age thing. I was talking about it with a friend and she said you could take a few years off your age, but that never sat well with me. Everybody has to pick an age group, so I undersatnd that. But if you meet someone IRL, you don't go up to a stranger and say "what's your age?" so that's another reason why OLD is limiting--guys just have an idea in mind that if you're a certain age, you must either look too old, not take care of yourself or whatever they are thinking. Yeah, the middle aged unattractive guys who think they can still get a woman 20 yrs younger are just fooling themselves (unless they are really rich) but whatever...
So I wouldn't say that I have no faith left in men. I think my chances of finding someone are pretty slim and I'd rather just put my effort into doing fun things rather than actively trying to find a date.

Wash. State graduate wears wedding gown under robeMay 6, 2013 @ 10:38 am
PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) - With friends and family already gathered for her graduation from Washington State University, Cassie Dotts thought it would be a good time for another ceremony _ her wedding.
She married University of Idaho fisheries science graduate Ben Ho in a ceremony on Friday in Moscow, Idaho. Then she received her doctorate in veterinary medicine in Saturday's WSU graduation in Pullman, Wash.
The Moscow-Pullman Daily News reports ( http://bit.ly/10eaEQl) that Dotts wore her cap and gown over her wedding dress for people who wanted to see her as both a graduate and newlywed.
The couple plans to move to Dotts' native Nevada where she plans to work as a veterinarian in Las Vegas.

Enormous congratulations to Prof Mark Graham and Prof Bill Dutton on the publication of Society and the Internet: How Networks of Information and Communication are Changing Our Lives. I was honoured to have been invited to contribute a chapter to this new Internet Studies bible, in which I describe the Internet as the modern catch-all boogeyman. In fact (I argue) these accusations are unjustified.

Social Influence in Second Life: Social Network and Social Psychological Processes in the Diffusion of Belief and Behaviour on the Web
The Internet has challenged social psychological theories of influence that have focussed on interpersonal perceptions of trustworthiness, expertise and similarity, and normative attributions of social identity. As knowledge is increasingly decentralised and user-generated, new questions arise about how online participants identify which information to adopt or reject.
[PhD] Internet Research Ethics: studying contagion and large networks onlineMonday June 30, 2014 @ 08:36 AM (UTC)
I've been fascinated by the public furore about the emotional contagion in Facebook research published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. I'm an internet ethics junkie and, genuinely, am astonished by the response. Perhaps my reaction to this is because I've had the occasion to think and speak so much about this that I forget how little other people know about what's actually going on to protect the individual when doing this kind of work inside the ivory tower.
The Personal (Computer) Is Political: Recommendations for the rest of usTuesday April 01, 2014 @ 10:13 AM (UTC)
Becoming a critical consumer of technology isn't just the responsibility of our teachers, our policy makers or software developers: we need to arm ourselves with the knowledge and the know-how to break out of our technofundamentalist trappings, and to wrestle our lives back from the machines.
The Personal (Computer) Is Political: Recommendations for EducatorsMonday March 31, 2014 @ 09:46 AM (UTC)
How do we become critical of media? Through the lessons from our teachers and educators. The people who are the lifeblood to the next generation of informed online participants should be armed with digital literacies, outlined in The Personal (Computer) is Political, the research report released last week for The Nominet Trust. In the report, I propose several recommendations for taking those important steps in that direction.
The Personal (Computer) Is Political: Recommendations for Policy & RegulationFriday March 28, 2014 @ 09:23 AM (UTC)
Software is not the solution to social ills, yet "software solutions" are de facto implemented in policy and regulation without an accurate understanding of what's actually offered. From Big Data to privacy to censorship, here are recommendations from The Personal (Computer) Is Political for policy makers and regulators, published by The Nominet Trust earlier this week.
The Personal (Computer) Is Political: Recommendations for DevelopersMonday March 24, 2014 @ 01:09 PM (UTC)
Software is biased, so how can developers act in the best interest of their audience?
On Monday, The Nominet Trust published The Personal (Computer) Is Political, a provocation paper based my last three years research looking at philosophies and agendas built into in the software and web services we use every day. The report calls for consumers and creators to recognise that software is a cultural artefact – like film, television, architecture, comedy, food, art and design – and therefore it is part of the zeitgeist of its day. This includes the political, economic and social climate of where and when it was built.
[Academic] The Personal (Computer) Is Political: a new report on humans, computers and our technofundamentalist tendenciesMonday March 24, 2014 @ 12:41 PM (UTC)
I'm pleased to announce the publication of The Personal (Computer) is Political, a new report funded by The Nominet Trust, based on the last three years of academic research.
Pre-order! Society and the Internet: How Networks of Information and Communication are Changing Our LivesWednesday February 12, 2014 @ 01:38 PM (UTC)
I was delighted to contribute a chapter to the forthcoming book, edited by Bill Dutton and Mark Graham from the Oxford Internet Institute, Society and the Internet: How Networks of Information and Communication are Changing Our Lives. It's now available for pre-order!
BPS' Ethics Guidelines for Internet-mediated Research published!Thursday November 28, 2013 @ 10:41 AM (UTC)
The internet and web are technologies that connect humans to humans via a computer. When training as an academic, I became very interested in the ethical implications of online research, at a time when there wasn't much out there for fledgling PhD researchers like me. In short: it's a minefield. In long: there's now a set of guidelines covering the issues that is available from the British Psychological Society.

Marine predators flock to California coast
New tracking study shows importance of coastal waters
People have tracked various marine species for hundreds or even thousands of years, but scientific knowledge about their life cycles, migration pathways, residency patterns and population sizes still is fragmentary.
The Census of Marine Life is the most extensive assessment of its kind, engaging an estimated 2,700 scientists and creating more than 30 million pieces of data that help explain how the ocean ecosystems function. Researchers involved with the international initiative have formally described roughly 1,200 species, and 5,000 more are in the pipeline.
One of the research platforms involved tagging 23 top predators such as sharks, whales and sea birds in the Pacific Ocean with a variety of tracking devices. It took 75 biologists, oceanographers, engineers and others to pull it off. Analysts spent the past two years synthesizing data.
Wednesday's report marked the first time that all the species tracks were overlaid on the same map.
"Ten years ago, if you were looking at a map of what we knew about the movements of sharks, there would have been a few dots around the coast and maybe Hawaii," Dewar said. "Now we really are blanketing the Pacific with what we know."
Scientists already had described the California Current as one five major regions of upwelling in the world. Upwelling is a phenomenon in which cold, nutrient-rich water from the deep replaces relatively warm waters near the surface. That encourages the growth of phytoplankton, which forms a base for a web of marine life. To read a recent story about that, click here.
Wednesday's study helps unlock some of the secrets of an environment that seems to get more complex the more that scientists learn.
For instance, the research shows many highly migratory marine species return to the same ocean regions with what researchers called "astonishing fidelity" to the places they were tagged and following a predictable seasonal pattern. "For me, the homing capacity of species which routinely return to the California Current or shelf waters of North America has been the biggest surprise," Block said.
The study also allowed scientists to correlate temperature and chlorophyll concentrations to the presence of specific species, giving them better predictive tools. Species making seasonal north-south migrations included bluefin tunas and yellowfin tunas; mako, white and salmon sharks; blue whales; male elephant seals; and leatherback sea turtles.
"It's like a big dance — the ocean is setting the rhythm and these different species are keeping time to the rhythm," said study co-author Ian Jonsen at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada.
One of the big questions raised by the paper is how predators will respond if that rhythm is altered by climate change, which evidence suggests already is happening.
"That is something we don't know," Jonsen said.
But the impact of global warming should come into better focus now that other researchers around the world are looking at similar tracking projects.
"(We did) something on a level and size that had never been attempted," said Dan Costa, a study co-author at the University of California Santa Cruz. "We have changed the way people think."
Some of those changes may result in new management programs. Dewar said tracking data could help reduce the ecological impact of commercial fisheries, for instance by regulating zones that are most important for imperiled creatures such as leatherback turtles and reducing restrictions in areas that don't have high turtle traffic.
She and her co-authors hope their work generates international interest, perhaps though a UNESCO Marine World Heritage designation for the California Current, and the development of an ecosystem-based management regime. Otherwise, they said, "biodiversity of this open-ocean wilderness will be irreplaceably lost."

What's inside Planet Earth?
Posted on 28th Sep 2007 | In Earth Science
Well –that's what the L's asked me last weekend so I decided to ask them right back. Loghlen answered 'gravity' which I thought was pretty cool. Lukie said it's very very hot in there and Leah said 'apple'. Apple! –what a great idea to help us talk more about our planet. So……..
1. Mommy, Lukie and Leah cut an apple in half.
2. Then Loghlen measured the diameter of the apple. It was 2.5 inches. This is just like the equator –an imaginary line running through the center of the earth equidistant from the North Pole and the South Pole. It divides the Earth into a top half and a bottom half known as the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.
3. Then we all colored the core of the apple. Just like the apple our earth has a core too. In fact the earth has an outer core and an inner core.
Look at the great coloring job we did.
4. Next we measured the apple's flesh –the distance from the outer core to the skin of the apple. This is just like the earth's mantle.
5. Finally we measured the skin of the apple as accurately was we could (it was about one tenth of an inch). This is just like the earth's crust.
When we finished the 3 L's all colored the Science With Me! What's inside the Earth? coloring sheet.
See Loghlen's!! He did a nice job–especially those lovely blue oceans.

Presented by Berklee College of Music at Berklee Performance Center
November 17, 2010
The documentary The Greatest Ears in Town follows Arif Mardin, the multi-Grammy winner who was responsible for well over 50 million-selling recordings worldwide, producing his last album All My Friends Are Here (NuNoise Records), which he referred to as his "life's work" with an all-star cast of singers and musicians. The film also tells the story of his life and family. It features interviews with Mardin, Sir George Martin, Ahmet Ertegun, Quincy Jones, Chaka Khan, Phil Collins, Carly Simon, Barry & Robin Gibb, Darryl Hall, and many of the other stars whose successes he helped create. The film includes live studio and concert footage, archival photographs, home movies, and a very personal story that built the hits that are now known as international classics. A special free screening of The Greatest Ears in Town will take place Wednesday, November 17, 7:00 p.m., at the Berklee Performance Center (BPC), 136 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston. Tickets are available at the BPC box office. For more information visit Berkleebpc.com or call 617-747-2261. The venue is wheelchair accessible. It is fitting that The Greatest Ears In Town is being screened at Berklee College of Music. Mardin was awarded the first Quincy Jones Scholarship in the late 1950s to attend what was then the Berklee School of Music. Mardin graduated in 1961. "Chez Twang's," recorded by Dr. John, and featured on both the film and CD, was originally titled "Byarding," in tribute to multi-instrumentalist Jaki Byard, and written while Mardin was a student at Berklee. With this dizzying backdrop of commercial success, the film gives a fascinating glimpse of the man and the creativity behind the scenes. Lovingly shaped and pushed to completion by son and collaborator Joe Mardin, also a Berklee graduate, the film resonates on many levels, celebrating important eras, influences, and communities within the music industry. Insights and analyses from some of music's biggest luminaries poignantly create a portrait of a musician, a father, an impresario, and an artist in his own right, whose sheer joy of creativity transcends illness and the harshness of the industry in which he worked. The Greatest Ears is Town also shows that this master producer and arranger of popular music remained a prolific composer of classical music including string quartets, lieder, a one-act opera and countless other pieces, which also serve as underscoring for the film. As Ahmet Ertegun, the late, legendary founder of Atlantic Records comments in the documentary, "Arif developed a sense of artist loyalty and friendship that few producers I know have ever done, because of his natural nobility. He was one of the greatest producers of the 20th Century." The Greatest Ears in Town is intended for theatrical release and broadcast and will be released on DVD in 2011. Notes Jim Farber in his four star review of the documentary for Mojo magazine, "Arif Mardin anointed songs with sound. Mardin gave some of the greatest songs of the last century his own elegant setting. Of the many talents a producer can display, he specialized in the art of arranging, the task that gives songs their shape."

Integration of the two functions into a single package provides enhanced product reliability due to fewer external components, interconnects and transitions.
Crane Aerospace & Electronics Microwave Solutions launches its new VPX product line, which includes three products: Modular Quad IF Up and Down Converter, Modular Direct Synthesizer and the Modular Seven Channel Indirect Synthesizer.
