No time to travel the Silk Road? Download this instead. This is the second book of my Ancient Silk Road adventure. Here we pick up the trail in Almaty, Kazakhstan, a thriving city before Mongol invasions. Leaving the land of yurts and yaks I venture west to Uzbekistan. Samarkand, the fabled caravan city, did not disappoint. Tamerlane's mausoleum is one of two such ribbed domes - the other being in Herat Afghanistan. Bukhara, another jewel, considered by UNESCO to be the most complete medieval city in Central Asia has glimpses of pre Soviet-era Turkestan. Bukhara was a pivotal city during the Great Game - the power struggle between Czarist Russia and British India. The journey continues through the Fergahana Valley to Tamerlane's home city of Andijan and back to Tashkent where little of the ancient walled city remains. From there I traveled by train to Moscow - another book.
There is excellent historical fact and background which puts the photographs of the Silk Road into geographical and historical perspective.

Procedures for Filing and Addressing Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault Complaints against Faculty, Staff or Student Employees
If a member of the community wishes to make a complaint against an employee (faculty, staff or student employee) of a violation of the College's Sexual Harassment, Sexual Misconduct or Sexual Assault Policy, the procedures below will apply. If both the complainant and the respondent are student employees, the students will instead use the complaint process for students found in the student handbook and on the college website.
1. You may first meet with an appropriate administrator assigned to serve in these cases. Those administrators are as follows:
- Dean of Student Affairs, 914-395-2575.
- Dean of the College, 914-395-2303.
- Vice President of Human Resources, 914-395-2385.
- Dean of Studies and Title IX Coordinator, (914)395-2249
If you are not comfortable speaking with one of the individual listed, you may report an incident to your own supervisor, to your department head or to the department head of any of the individuals listed above.
All College employees (including faculty, resident advisors and staff, with the exception Health Services staff) who become aware of an incident of sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, and/or sexual assault are required to notify the assistant vice president for public safety and security who will initiate a campus investigation into the matter. The College is required to report incidents of sexual misconduct or sexual assault that constitute a violent felony under the New York State Campus Safety Act, to the local police. The assistant vice president of public safety and security or his or her designee will coordinate such notification to the Yonkers Police.
2. Should the individual decide to file a formal complaint, she/he will meet with the Vice President for Human Resources (VP HR) or his or her designee to discuss the procedure for hearing the complaint. If the complainant so desires, he/she may be accompanied by an advisory of his/her choice
She/he will then provide a written statement to the VP HR, describing the circumstances of the alleged incident or behavior. This statement will constitute the grounds for the complaint.
The VP HR or his/her designee will then meet with the respondent to discuss the complaint. The respondent will be given an opportunity to write a response to the complaint within one week, unless the time is extended because of unusual circumstances as determined by the VP HR.
3. It is expected that complaints will be filed by current employees or students. The College will, however, investigate all complaints made by former employees and by students who are no longer enrolled. The investigation of such complaints will be performed by the assistant vice president of public safety and security. Once the investigation is complete a disciplinary hearing will be conducted by a panel of three employees chosen from among those trained as described in Section 4 (a) below but may or may not take the form of a hearing as described in Section 6 below.
4. Upon receipt of the complaint and completion of the investigation, the VP HR will establish a panel to investigate the complaint. The procedure for forming this panel shall be as follows:
a. Each year a pool of non-faculty employees shall be constituted on the recommendations of the Dean of Studies and Student Life and a pool of faculty members shall be constituted on the recommendations of the General Committee.
- The pool members will serve for a three-year term.
- All members of the pool will be full time regular employees
- The College will strive for gender balance in the pool, to the extent practicable. All members of the pool will receive training for service on the panels.
b. The panel for a specific case will be chosen from that pool through the following procedures:
- Individuals in the pool may recuse themselves in particular cases if there are factors that make objectivity impossible, such as a close friendship or a present or previous academic or professional relationship with the respondent or complainant.
- If the complainant is a student the registrar will be consulted to ensure that none of the faculty members has had an academic relationship with the complainant. Those who have taught or advised the complainant will be eliminated.
- The VP HR will give the list of members in the pool to the complainant and to the respondent. Potential panel members may be excused in the event of a conflict of interest, lack of availability or other valid reason, as determined by the VP HR. The VP HR , reviewing the eligible pool members, will choose three to serve as the panel for that particular case.
- In the event that a panel member resigns or is otherwise unable to serve the VP HR will appoint a replacement from the pool. If the pool does not yield three acceptable members of the panel, the VP HR will appoint an employee who has already gone through the training as a substitute.
5. In all cases the College reserves the right to place the respondent on leave until the case is decided.
6. Hearing procedures
a. The VP HR will gather information to be brought to the panel. This will include (but not be limited to) the statements of the complainant and respondent, a list of witnesses who may have relevant information and other information related to the charges and the investigation report provided by the vice president of public safety and security. The initial list of witnesses will be provided by both the complainant and respondent. Others might be identified during the investigation.
b. Witnesses identified at this stage will be required to submit a written statement describing their knowledge of the case. The VP HR will determine an appropriate deadline for these statements to be submitted, typically a week to ten days after the request. If a witness fails to submit a timely statement the VP HR may exclude any testimony by that witness.
c. The VP HR will serve as the panel coordinator. The panel will review the complaint, the response, and all other witness statements and documents. The panel will then identify a list of witnesses to meet with the panel. The selection of that list will be based on the relevance of the witness' information (i.e. direct knowledge of the complaint and its alleged consequences). The panel may call witnesses who were not suggested by either the complainant or respondent but who may have relevant information. If time permits the witnesses will be asked to provide written statements. If not the panel will interview the witness in question.
d. The panel will meet with the complainant and respondent. This may take place at the same time or separately.
e. Both the complainant and respondent will have the option of having a personal adviser present when they meet with the panel. Members of the hearing panel or those who will serve as witnesses in the case may not serve as an advisor. The VP HR will instruct the advisors about confidentiality (i.e., that they are expected to preserve in confidence all information they acquire in connection with their role as advisers). The sole role of the advisors is to provide advice and support to the complainant or the respondent. The advisors may not ask questions or speak on behalf of the person they are advising or present evidence.
f. Both complainant and respondent will be required to meet with the panel. If the respondent refuses to do so, she or he will be informed of the possibility of damaging consequences to his/her case, especially in the giving up of direct access to testimony and evidence and the hearing or meetings will proceed in his or her absence. If the complainant refuses to do so without good cause, as determined by the panel, the panel may dismiss the complaint.
g. Persons called as witnesses shall meet with the panel. If a witness is no longer available to attend the hearing or meeting, as determined by the panel, his or her written statement will be accepted in lieu of the interview.
h. The panel hearing or meeting shall be closed to all but the VP HR, the panel, the complainant, the respondent, their advisors, and the witnesses during their interviews. During a hearing that takes place with both the complainant and the respondent present a the same time, the parties will be separated. They will be able to hear each other, but not see each other.
i. If the meeting takes place with both complainant and respondent at the same time, the complainant and respondent may ask questions of each other and of the witnesses. The parties will not ask questions of each other directly, they will provide the question to the VP HR who will ask the question of the other party. If the meetings are separate, both parties will be given the opportunity to provide questions to the panel to obtain responses from the other party and/or the witnesses. The VP HR will determine whether questions are irrelevant or otherwise inappropriate and his/her decisions will be final.
j. In the case of a full hearing, the following is the order of business, variations may occur depending on the circumstances of the individual cases. In the case of separate meetings, the VP HR will conduct the meetings.
- Introductions
- VP HR explains the process
- Opening statement by complainant
- Opening statement by the respondent
- Panel questions the complainant
- Panel questions the respondent
- Complainant and respondent may ask questions of each other by providing questions to the VP HR
- Witnesses are interviewed by panel and parties
- Questions from the parties and further questions from the panel
- Final statement by complainant
- Final statement by respondent
- Dismissal of complainant, respondent, and advisors
- Deliberation by the panel
k. At the conclusion of the hearing or the panel meetings the panel will meet together to complete its review of information and its consideration of the complaint. The panel will use a preponderance of the evidence standard to determine responsibility (i.e. it is more likely than not that the respondent was responsible for the prohibited behavior).The panel will report its findings of fact and its conclusions in writing to the VP HR. The VP HR will determine any penalties to be imposed, as provided below.
- Written warning
- Formal reprimand
- Suspension without pay
In the case of a faculty member, the VP HR will make this recommendation to the Advisory Committee on Appointments.
- Termination of employment
The VP HR will make this recommendation to the President for staff members or to the Advisory Committee on Appointments for faculty members.
l. The VP HR will report the resolution to both the complainant and respondent. This report will include the conclusions of the panel and, where appropriate, any actions taken or penalties imposed. The facts about individual cases and their disposition are confidential. This means that such information is shared by the college only on a bona fide need to know basis. The college reserves the right to correct misinformation that becomes public.
m. The College will strive to complete the investigation and hearing in a prompt manner, consistent with fairness.
7. If a complaint is made against the VP HR, the President will take on the roles normally played by the VP HR and the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees or his/her delegate will serve as the point of appeal. If a complaint is made against the President, the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees will be in charge of the process.
8. Appeals
The complainant and the respondent have the right to appeal any action taken or penalty imposed to the President (or to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees if the complaint is made against the President.) The appeal must be filed within ten working days of receiving the decision. An appeal does not provide a rehearing of the case. In the case of a tenured faculty member the Dean of the College or his/her designee will consider the appeal.
An appeal may be made on one of three grounds only:
- Newly discovered evidence that was not available at the time of the hearing.
- An error in procedure sufficient to warrant an overturn of the panel's conclusion or a new hearing.
- Inappropriate application of College rules, regulations or policies to the facts (This may include an appeal of the penalty imposed)
The President's, Dean's (or Chairman of the Board's) response to an appeal may include without limitation one or more of the following: sending the case back to the panel for further review; ordering a new hearing; revising the penalty; setting aside the decision of the panel.
The decision of the President, Dean (or Chairman of the Board) is final.
9. Use of the internal procedure outlined above does not foreclose subsequent legal action. Complainants and respondents may wish to obtain legal advice as they consider the course of action open to them. The hearings will not be tape recorded, although members of the panel may take written notes.
10. Record keeping: A permanent written record of the formal complaint process and its outcome will be retained by the VP HR. This record will include the charge, all statements by complainant, respondent and witnesses, other documentation or evidence discovered by the investigation. Notes taken by the individual panel members in the process of the panel investigation and hearing will not be maintained in the permanent record.
The VP HR will prepare an annual report for the Administrative Staff Committee on complaints made against staff members and for the General Committee and the Committee on Conditions of Teaching on complaints made against faculty members. The report will include the number and type of complaints and, in general terms, their disposition.

The only reasons I can see for desmo technology nowadays is heritage, and perhaps the ability to run some very steep cam profiles.

I have to agree...I know that there may be some advantage in balls to the wall racing machines, but for everyday use, I'd trade the desmo drive train for cheaper maintenance costs. That said, the replacement of belt driven cams with chain in the new Panigale, is a step in the right direction.

I think you forgot about the Breganze Laverda's ;o)
Breganze's, Twins and Triples are extremely easy to work on, very reliable one of the best riding machines on the planet.
I think they fit right in between the Guzzi and Ducati.

I have long lusted after a Laverda, but being verticly challenged, with a 27" inseam, no way can i stop it at a stoplight. there were 2 for sale this year in OC, Jota's one with a factory build in the motor, hot cams, H/C pistons, couldn't justify just going out to the garage and just listening to them . Am jeealous of all you guys who can throw a leg over some of the taller built bikes. wish i had problems of which bike suited me better. my choice is narrowed down for me ....

I've owned both Ducati's and Guzzi's so I guess I can add some input.
I love both marque's and would say they both are addicting to ride. The type of bike you like more the more you ride em.
I'd say I prefer the Guzzi just for the feel. It feels like I'm riding fast even when you aren't breaking too many laws. Plus, it still handles awesome.
The Ducati is often the opposite. Around town speeds feel painfully slow and it is only happy at higher speeds. Of course, these are just the Ducati's I've owned.
Both great bike brands with loads of Italian style and character. I'd love to have a garage full of em.

I'm definitely a Ducati fan. I like the nimbleness and light weight. I've also always liked Guzzis, but haven't owned one yet. If I need to get a new bike, though, the Griso 8V is on my shortlist. I testrode one and really liked it. I've ridden several other Guzzis over the years and always enjoyed them.
As a few have noted, it depends on your usage and local terrain. I spent many years commuting daily in heavy traffic in SoCal, lanesplitting on a daily basis, so a light narrow bike with instant responses was important to me, making the Duc a better choice than a Guzzi or other heavier bike. Now I'm in rural NH, with less traffic, lots of two-lanes with low speed limits, and bumpier roads. A Guzzi might well be a better choice here (although I'm keeping my Duc for as long as it can reasonably be kept).
THAT was the comparison being made by the earlier comment. YOU are the one who jumped on the desmo valves subject and created this big red herring and spent a bunch of time arguing against something no one actually said.
Although I have basically only one bike (I have some old scooters, but those are toys, not transport), and I ride it about 11K a year and have been doing so for 19 years, and I hate doing maintenance, and I've been really happy with my Ducati.
As far as the valve intervals go, when I bought mine, new in 1993, it was recommended to check the valves every 3K miles. A few years later, the recommendation was changed to 5K miles, with no technical changes. A few years after that, they made a couple of minor upgrades and changed the interval to 6K miles, then to 7.5K with no further changes. The new Ducatis are split between having a 7.5K interval and a 15K interval. On my bike, I had them checked every 5 to 6K for a while, but once I got past about 30K miles, everything settled in well and stopped changing much, so each check came up about the same as the last one. After 40K, I doubled the interval, and have been checking every 10-12K (about once a year for me), and an actual adjustment needs to happen about once every two checks.
My Duc is a 1993 (first year) M900 Monster, and it's been stunningly reliable and durable. I have had to put some money into it the last couple of years, as it approached 200K; by a rational economic calculation I might have been better off letting it go at 175K and getting something newer. But even so, what it's needed hasn't been the deep basic stuff. The bottom end and transmission haven't seen the light of day since it was built. The alternator bearing failed at 122K and I put in new piston rings at that point. The clutch basket I replaced at 140K. More recently I've had to replace the original carburetors and rear shock, rebuild the forks, get new master cylinders and replace the clutch actuation system, and do a bit of work on the electricals and various gaskets and seals. I don't think that's excessive given the time and distance it has covered for me.
1993 Ducati M900 Monster "Patina" (236,000 miles, so far) -- 1995 Ducati M900 (wife's bike) -- 1972 Honda CB450 (daughter's bike) -- 1979 Vespa P200 (daughter's scoot) -- 1967 Alfa Romeo GT Jr. (1300cc) -- 1964 Vespa GS160 (160cc 2-stroke) -- 1962 Maicoletta scooter (275cc 2-stroke) -- 1960 Heinkel Tourist 103A1 scooter "Elroy" (175cc 4-stroke)

I think the other thing that has not been mentioned, the duc has a motor orientation that makes checking the valves a lot of work no matter what kind of system it uses.
I checked and changed one valve on my wife's 696, not too bad, but I have to wear reading glasses now (66) and that adds to the difficulty.
I had the Multi12 standard 2010 for 13 months and 9K+ miles. I hated the feeling that I needed to keep in mind what the nearest dealers service department was doing all the time. 2 week back log most of the time. 200 miles away.
It is ironic or maybe not, that the bike (duc) that requires the most dealer attention has fewer dealers, and the Super Ten which has dealers on every corner, I never been in!
The Goose was not on my radar, maybe I need to take a look.
For the OP tho, I still miss being able to pass anything on wheels just about anytime I wanted to on the Multi12! That was fun, just roll on in 6th or if in a hurry drop down to 5th, and you were gone.
I have a local stretch I run up sometimes, on the Multi12 I would get to 105ish in 4th or 5th then down shift to normal breaking to a 90 degree 55mph curve. I did the same run on the Super Ten, feels about the same but it tops out about 85ish before I have to toss out the parachute. The Multi12 will get down the road very quickly!

UTSA Libraries showcases one of largest Mexican cookbook collections
(Dec. 21, 2010) -- Do you like to cook? Better yet, do you like to eat? UTSA Libraries Special Collections recently unveiled a new blog to showcase recipes from its growing Mexican Cookbook Collection. Ranging in date from 1831 to 2010, the collection includes more than 1,050 cookbooks in English and Spanish featuring the cuisine of Mexico, Texas and the Southwest, making it one of the largest and most extensive Mexican cookery collections in the United States.
The blog, La Cocina Historica, celebrates Mexican cuisine and culinary history by posting a recipe from the past every Friday. Posts are accompanied by pictures from the cookbook where the recipe was published, along with some historical context and occasionally may include hands-on posts with library staff in the kitchen.
The core of the UTSA Mexican Cookbook Collection was donated by San Antonio resident Laurie Gruenbeck, who has collected cookbooks during her travels in Texas and Mexico for more than 30 years and continues to build the collection. One of the rarest titles from the collection is Simon Blanquel's 1831 "Novisimo Arte de Cocina," one of the first cookbooks to be published in Mexico. Although international in its coverage, it is one of the earliest cookbooks to recognize the cuisine rooted in Mexico. Blanquel's unique, saffron-spiked Arroz de Leche was the first recipe shared on La Cocina Historica.
A complete listing of titles in the Mexican Cookbook Collection is at the UTSA Libraries online catalog, UCAT. Although the cookbooks are non-circulating, both researchers and aspiring cooks are welcome to make use of the collection in the newly opened Special Collections reading room in the John Peace Library during regular hours or by appointment.
In addition to offering unique special collections, UTSA is the first university in the nation to offer a bookless brick-and-mortar library on a university or college campus. The 80-person capacity Applied Engineering and Technology Building Library, which caters to UTSA College of Sciences and College of Engineering students, is a satellite of the larger John Peace Library.

Most of the times, if I'm wrestling someone who's new. I like to work a Sit out Turn in, If I'm lucky I'll catch them unbalanced and get the 2 points. If they follow me then It comes down to either
1) Let them break me down I get right back up to base and hit them with a roll (hook the arm that around the waist get perpendicular and roll) standup.
2) Get your hips out and Tripod up

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
Thompson chairs commission again
Jan 16, 2013 - From staff reports
The newly seated Fremont County Commission has elected its board officers for the year.
At the board's first meeting of the new year, Commissioner Travis Becker of Riverton nominated Doug Thompson to be chairman again, and Thompson won the spot in a unanimous vote.
Thompson, a Jeffrey City area rancher, is starting his fourth term on the commission.
Thompson called for nominations for the vice-chairman position next. New commissioner Stephanie Kessler of Lander put forth Keja Whiteman's name, and Larry Allen, also a newcomer, nominated Becker.
Thompson called for a vote by ballot, and Becker won the appointment to be vice-chairman.
Recently retired Commissioner Pat Hickerson of Lander had the vice chairman's post last year.

|Denise Leckenby
For four years, Denise Leckenby participated in UNH women's swimming. In her time at UNH, Leckenby especially excelled in the 100 and 200 freestyle events, never losing a race in either event in her career. Twice she was named UNH Athlete of the Year. She was a four-time conference Swimmer of the Year (NAC and America East) and ECAC Swimmer of the Year. She was also Scholar-Athlete for America East in 1996 and 1998.
She currently holds the five fastest times ever performed at America East in the 50, 100, and 200 freestyles as well as ECAC records in those same events. Her 50-yard freestyle time still remains on of the world's top 100 times ever performed in that event.
She was a NCAA Division I qualifier during her freshman, sophomore, and senior years and earned All-America honors during her sophomore year when she placed eighth in the 200-yard freestyle. That same year she also placed 11th in the 100 freestyle, which placed UNH 27th in the country at NCAAs.
Leckenby qualified for the Olympic Trials and swam on a world-ranked 800 freestyle relay team at the 1996 Senior Nationals. Leckenby led the UNH women's swim to its first of two conference titles. An exceptional student, she is now a doctoral student and Teaching Fellow in the Sociology Department at Boston College.
"Denise was perhaps the most dominant athlete in UNH's history having never lost her two premiere events in four years of competition. Her All-America status and world ranking speak for themselves," head coach Josh Willman said. "But it is her spirit, leadership, integrity, sense of team and what she taught me as her coach that is her most lasting achievement."
She joins previous fellow inductees, Emily Cole '85, Martha Clohisy '85, Pam Birsinger '89 Shannon Doherty '92 and Mike Dix '93

Lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, or
SLE) doesn't typically affect a woman's ability to conceive. But if you
are having a lupus flare or are taking
corticosteroid medicines, you may have irregular
menstrual cycles, making it difficult to plan a pregnancy.
If you
plan to have a baby or are already pregnant, it is very important that you and
your doctor discuss how lupus may affect your pregnancy.
If you have miscarried before, expect that your pregnancy
will be closely monitored. Talk to your doctor about whether you have tested
positive for antiphospholipid antibodies. If so,
anticoagulant treatment may improve your chances of
having a healthy pregnancy.
Men with lupus should talk with their doctors. Some medicines should be stopped for at least 3 months before a man tries to conceive a baby.
You may not
be able to stop taking lupus medicines after becoming pregnant, or you may
need to start taking medicine for a symptom flare. Some lupus medicines,
like acetaminophen and prednisone, are considered safe during pregnancy. Others
may not be.

Should your boyfriend think you're the most beautiful girl in the world?
So my boyfriend basically said (when I was being insecure) that I am "more attractive than most people". At first I thought that was a nice thing to... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
You're being overly sensitive. Do you think that he's THE most attractive man on the planet? Really? Including every dreamy dude in Hollywood and music? I doubt it. BUT if you say yes are you saying it merely to back your side of the arguement? Because I have a feeling if you do say yes that you're a liar. ;) Of course if you're feeling like crap he probably should have lied because you girls eat that stuff up, and honestly require it. Otherwise a HUGE fight over something petty breaks out (ie what we're talking about here, now). Guys have the tendancy to be honest to a fault because we're logical thinkers. Ease up on him. He was paying you a compliment. Real life ain't the movies and the stories you read in fairy tails. Any douche on here that says, "Yes. A man's woman should be the most beautiful in the world to him" is either gay and hasn't figured it out yet, or blowing smoke up your ass to try and make you feel better the way your boyfriend probably should have when you were feeling insecure... :)
What Guys Said 14
It's reality sweetie, there will always be someone better than you. There are two things you can take comfort in though;
1) he has no problem with telling you the truth
2) looks aren't all in a relationship, the bottom line is, he wants to be in a relationship with you however he will just want to shag those living barbies, as opposed to loving them.
No. You are being over sensitive. Just because he is dating you doesn't mean he has to think your the most beautiful women in the world. What if he broke up with you, started to date some other girl and now she's the most beautiful women in the world just cause their dating? Being in a relationship with someone is having the abilitiy to acknowledge ones flaws and know that you can accept them with the flaws they have. So be happy that he is with you since even though you don't think you are that pretty, he is willing to accept the perhaps you aren't that pretty, but he is willing to accept that. Sorry if that came off harsh but that is what love is.
Sorry instead of the second time I said he is willing to accept that its supposed to be he is willing to stay with you
Also you've probably got a lot more going on then she does, looks really aren't the most important thing when you have a shitty personality?
I would never cheat on my wife.
But to answer your question possible causes of cheating for me would be if we became emotionally or intimately detached. At this point the relationship is over anyways and it's just boiling down to who is going to give in and say I'm done.
What the hell, I didn't click on this topic. Ugh.
Anyways, in my opinion, YES your girlfriend, significant other, wife SHOULD be the most beautiful woman in the world and as her husband/boyfriend/whatever it's my job to make her feel that way.
Kook so here is the real deal about this... if he can't look at you and tell you that you are the most beautiful and amazing woman ever he's and idiot!! I tell my fiance every chance i get that she is the most beautiful and amazing woman ever! If he can't do a simple thing like that then there is no help for him and its likely that his attention is easily swayed. My princess is told multiple times daily just how amazing and beautiful she is! She denies it and says she isn't and that Im delusional but that doesn't stop me from gazing into her gorgeous eyes and telling her! So ya girl if he thinks you're just prettier than most don't settle for ok you deserve to be the mostest and the bestest in your mans life... if he can't give you that Im sorry he's not worth your time!
Yes and no. This is hard to explain but the woman I am in love with right now I originally was not attracted to very much. After getting to know her and appreciate her I am now totally attracted to her in every way. I know other men would prefer a woman with bigger this or smaller that but honestly I am totally physically attracted to the woman and like her the way she is. So she is the hottest to me but at the same time I know others may not feel the same. He probably meant that you don't look like an air brushed model but he is attracted to you anyways and likes you the way you are. I wouldn't take offense to it as much as you are.
ive also done what he does. its hard to go around the word beautiful when you don't see her as marriage material just yet. as I see beautiful as marriage material. sexy as hookups/fwbs and hot/pretty.cute as girlfriend words
its too misleading to use it too soon. what happens if you break up? she's now not the most beautiful woman in the world, she's gone to just being a friend or in some cases. a stranger
What Girls Said 18
It's not realistic to say that "you don't even see anyone else" when you're in a relationship. The rest of the world doesn't suddenly become unattractive just because you've found someone. Your boyfriend's compliment actually was very thoughtful. He said that you're *more* attractive than *most* people, which means that he does think your looks are above average. Plus, he sees more in you than just looks. Even if there are other more physically attractive women out there, you're the one he wants to be with, not them. That's a really sweet thing to say!
Honestly, I think you are being unreasonable. The real world isn't a Hollywood movie. Reverse the question, do you honestly, truly, and deeply think your boyfriend is the most beautiful man in the world? Sorry, but I doubt it. He may not have chosen the most tactful set of words, but I think what he said was honestly meant to be complimentary and it sounds a lot more truthful and honest than someone who would tell you that you were the most beautiful girl in the world. Guys don't always have the most grace with women, but I think you have to look past the content and think of the context. To him, you really are prettier than most people, which is huge. Instead of being insecure and second-guessing yourself and him, appreciate a compliment where you can get one. Not every man will even give you a compliment, nonetheless one that truthful.
You know sweetie - I think you're over thinking this. I think this was a big compliment, not just because he's STILL calling you attractive (because that's what was said), but he's being HONEST with you, which shows he's not just paying you lip service so that you'll shut up, lol.
Seriousy, I would rather a guy be honest with me (and I'm a big girl, so trust me, I DO have my own insecurities) than be telling me I'm the most beautiful woman in the world. Because let's face it, the majority of us look NOTHING like Halle Berry or Angelina Jolie...but his honesty is telling you he RESPECTS you enough as a PERSON to not tell you that you look like those women.
And obviously, he's attracted to you because he's with you in the first place :). From experience, I highly suggest that you don't read too much into what he says...people in general get worn out by that really quickly. Good luck sweetie!
Perfect. A realistic woman?? You guys DO exist!!! *best answer candidate*
LOL, thank you, we do...but you know sometimes we're too realistic, I scare the guys off! :)
I found it funny because one day my boyfriend said in this order:
"you are the most beautiful girl..."
1- in this room
2- in our class
3- in our school
4- in our city
5- in our state
6- " can I just make this simpler and say that I have ever known?"
I laughed because he kept trying to compliment me, but it kept coming out wrong. I'm sure that is what happened with your boyfriend too. I watch a ton! of romantic comedies and the problem with those are that we tend to idealize the man we want. I wouldn't say you are being psychotic by any means, but I wouldn't take it too badly. Sometimes as women we unintentionally or intentionally lay trap questions. For men its like trying not to say a certain thing, there is just not right answer. I think as women we need to accept that.
I was in the same position as you.
I literally thought my ex was the best looking most gorgeous thing in the world.
I would watch movies or look at print ads and be like...he should be in the movies/model ads, he's so much better!
I really couldn't see otherwise lol
He wasn't as 'into' looks as much as me...basically he preferred my looks out of everyone but he likely was just more rational and less crazy and knew that I wasn't the best looking in the world, but I was the only one in the world he wanted...so he wanted me and preferred me including my looks, over everyone else int he world.
Some guys just aren't the 'gaga' crazy romantic type...if he is a logical/rational person, it goes hand in hand...
Hope this helps!
Try to get over your disappointment and don't sabotage what you have.
It's cool that he's so honest, he's a keeper.
I think the real question to ask him to make yourself feel more secure/less frustrated is...
'If you could have that beuatiful girl over there, would you want her over me"
And he'd prob say no...cause looks only take you so far...I know plenty of beautiful girls who get a lot of attention/getting asked out...but eventually the novelty wears off and the guy doesn't necessarily treat them super great just because they're hot
I think when a guy tells a girl "you're the mot beautiful girl in the world" it doesn't just factor in their looks, but their overall love for the person and all of the factors that makes that person.
Honestly, though.. he probably just doesn't understand it or never got this memo that he is supposed to say it. I didn't know I am supposed to be told this lols I have had guys say it, but I wouldn't be offended because I wasn't told it.
Remember, actions are far better than words. Does he show you how much he cares? Wouldn't you prefer that over a guy just saying it?
if you're not jessica alba, megan fox, marissa miller, heidi klum, giselle, adrianna lima, or are not continually being airbrushed/professionally made-up, then he's always going to think of them as being the most beautiful girls in the world. love doesn't blind you so much that your whole perception of a person's physical appearance changes. what love will do is cause you to appreciate everything about a person, and you fall in love with their flaws. so he may see you as a 9 on the scale of 1-10 (and let's be honest, is that really a bad thing?), but if he had to pick between you and a perfect 10, he'd pick you. when you love someone, you don't want to be with anyone else. you wouldn't want to be with someone who doesn't have the same freckle or dimple or laugh that your partner has. THOSE are the things that make you "the most beautiful girl in the world."
i think you need to stop worrying about being the *most* beautiful. it comes off as a little shallow. otherwise, there will be plenty of girls less attractive than you who are in healthy relationships because they know what's really important, and are comfortable with themselves so that their guys can be too.
My boyfriend did the same thing to me yesterday. He flat out said that a girl at our school is more attractive than me and then tried to pull the, "but you can't think im the most attractive guy at our school" crap too. I live with him so i guess i win over that girl who's prettier in the long run. but he also admitted that he wouldn't date her even if he had the chance, and then under his breathe told his friend that it's because she wouldn't go for him. I feel so ugly and a little more worthless now.
I know exactly what you mean and I agree with you. Some girls are ok with not being #1 and wandering eyes, some aren't. I believe if you are TRULY IN LOVE with a person then they will be the most attractive person in the world in your eyes. Was my husband the most attractive man in the world when I met him? Honestly, no.. I saw some attractive features, and some flaws. As I got to know him I slowly began to see his "flaws" as attractive and unique and sexy. Each flaw would disappear until I accepted and loved everything that I saw. I have no temptation with other men, my attraction for others is just gone. We've been together 4 years so it's not just the honeymoon stage; we've had major ups and downs. My husband says I'm the most beautiful woman in the world and I'd like to believe him because I feel that way about him. To the negative responses; It's not a fairytale; clearly you've never been in love.. We are both very monogamous by nature and I feel that's the key; some people can never put that kind of faith and love into one person if they are the type to fall in love with the idea of people rather than reality.
That sounds exactly the same as what happened to me, because I see my boyfriend to be the most gorgeous guy in the world , but when I said it he said what yours said to you and then I started thinking. I don't think your being psychotic, but maybe females see things differently than males? I feel crap now though like he would rather be with a better looking me . I'm sure he does think your great, its just men are obsessed with looks and don't express things the same as us. One thing he says might mean something different to if we said it. But I do think its harsh of them and they should just say 'your the most beautiful' to make you feel special. And I think I watch too many Rom coms too haha
I know how that thing gos my man never tells me that I wish he did well our happy home is not so happy now because I always ask him if he thinks I'm good looking are if he lovesa me it sucks been wt a man and he never makes you feel good he gets mad because I ask him well I have to ask if he dose not tell me I'm real sad over it and I know you feel the same it sucks that a nother man is faster to tell you that your sexy are good looking then the man you love
It is a nice thought, that your boyfriend would think you are the most attractive woman he has ever seen, but when it comes down to it, there will always be @ least 1 person who looks better than us. Same with anything else, if you were an incredibly talented singer, there would always be at least one person who is a better singer than you. Your boyfriend thinks you are beautiful, but he is just being honest that there is probably 1 gal out there who is the most beautiful, you know, like Heidi Klum, Paris Hilton, Megan Fox. Don't feel insecure, your boyfriend was just being honest. Would you want him to lie?
I never tell my guy I think he's the best looking guy in the world because he's not. I don't think he should tell me I'm the most beautiful girl in the world because I know I'm not, but he does it anyway. I don't think it's wrong that he does it but I don't care if he doesn't do it either. As long as he says I'm beautiful once in a while. Not that I even say he's good looking or handsome at all, because he knows he's not that great looking. My brother says my guy looks like Adrian Brody from Predators. Hmmm...
I think the only mistake is the way your bf answers to your question. I am married with a son and we are a couple that is far from perfect, but are perfect for each other. Guys are just too logical sometimes and can't differ a lie with compliment. You should know if your guy is the romantic type or just the practical type, they usually don't have that sentimental side. When you're in love with someone, you will feel they are the best for you. Despite out there they know someone else must be smarter, prettier, or better than you in something. What you should know is that if you are irreplaceable despite all those flaws you have. And if you are, it means you are the best, the most beautiful in his heart. The word beautiful does not always mean how you look like, but overall inside out. It might be only the way he answers to your question. Think of it this way, is it better to be ranked number 1 out of 1 million girls, or 1 out of 1. Apparently if he sees no other girls, you are ranked 1 out of 1 which is not really impressive. I dont think guys know how to express this kind of thing, and sometimes the do feel this way but just doesn't know how to say it out.
Man, lots of "players" on this thread.
I agree with you on this. My fiancé, to me, is the handsomest, sexiest guy in the world. I notice that there are other attractive men out there, but my love for him has me nonchalant about those other men (yes, even Brad Pitt and Norman Reedus).
My fiancé says that I'm the most beautiful woman in his eyes. I hope that he means it just like I mean he's perfect for ME. I know I'm pretty, but I also know I'm not a 10. But I would hate it if my guy kept looking at these other women and thought they were more beautiful than me. Sure, he's going to notice that they're attractive, but I hope he always sees me as his perfect lady.
I'm so glad I'm not with any of these other men on this thread. I feel sorry for their girls, too.
I know this post is over a year old but I know exactly how you feel! That's what I thought too, that the person you love is the best looking, the best, greatest thing to you. I was joking around with my boyfriend and I said do you think Jessica Alba is prettier than me? (Which she is, I'll admit) But he said yes! I thought that he would say something cute back. But he said 'Yes, your beautiful but she is something else!' And it hurt! It definitely hurt. I got all angry and upset and he got angry at me for not liking his opinion, so I said that shouldn't be your opinion if you truly loved me. He answered by saying 'Fine, next time I'll lie'. That cut me even deeper because it felt like he meant it was hard for him to lie to me by saying I'm the best he's ever seen. Maybe I've been watching to many romantic comedies to because that is not what would have happened in the movies...
And I agree, I think that my boyfriend is the cutest, most attractive person because I love him. I said I forgive him, but I didn't realize how hard it is to get what he said out of my head.
I don't think your unreasonable or psychotic. Because if you are I am and I think I had a right to get upset. We are girls, we need and like to be treated delicately and affectionately, I guess guys don't get that.
Have an opinion?

With assets of $2 trillion and an impressive heritage, JPMorgan Chase is a national institution almost to the extent that it's a financial institution. That status is reflected in the breadth of its portfolio of products and services for consumers and businesses alike.
For those impressed by pedigrees, JPMorgan Chase & Co. is about as blue-blooded as financial institutions get. Today's company is partly a result of a long series of mergers and acquisitions that involved some of the most famous names in American banking:
Today, JPMorgan Chase & Co. can make many boasts. It has:
Products are generally marketed under the Chase brand, and offers vary in different parts of the country, so visitors to the web site are asked to enter their zip code. This means that the following information may not be applicable in all areas.
The bank has two traditional savings vehicles, neither of which -- at least at the time of writing -- could honestly be described as as a high interest savings account. However, it also has two money market accounts (Chase Money Market Savings and Chase Retirement Money Market Account) and a CD product, and one or more of these may offer a higher return.
JPMorgan Chase has four forms of checking account, and the monthly fees for all of these can be waived providing customers meet certain conditions. The two checking account that pay interest require substantial deposits and/or investments in order to qualify for that fee waiver.
Naturally, for a bank of this size, JPMorgan Chase business products comprehensively cover most enterprises' needs, with checking accounts, cards, lending facilities, savings accounts, merchant services, cash management services, and so on. The Chase Online for Business Service seems particularly strong, and provides:
JPMorgan Chase is a member bank of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The temporary increase in FDIC coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor was made permanent in July 2010. All eligible deposits are FDIC-insured up to at least $250,000 per depositor. Joint accounts are FDIC-insured up to at least $250,000 per account holder.
Compare savings account rates from JPMorgan Chase and more than 400 other banks at SavingsAccounts.com.
Chase Bank has the WORST savings interest rates of any major bank. Don't even think about using.
savings interest are ripping people off. go to a better bank were they will care about you and pay what is fair.
I have had an open Chase credit card for a couple years. It actually started as Washington Mutual but was purchased by Chase. Anyway, I haven't had a problem with them since it switched over, and their rewards for my card are excellent and fee-free. However, after seeing their pitiful interest rates and reading some reviews, I'm a bit concerned.
Hi Richard, We verify all listed rates on a regular basis and have not been able to locate the rate that you mention. The rates may change, so for current rates and additional information here is a link to their Website https://www.chase.com/online/services/banking-service.htm
Was tol you have a savins plan that pays 8.2 % and I would like to open acct Thanks
BEWARE OF CHASE's interest scam.
Just saw a commercial on TV about ALLY bank. Dealing with Chase Bank employees is exactly how Chase bank does business. No matter what the customer said the bank employee could not comprehend what the customer was saying.This is how Chase bank does business and then turn it around on you so they can collect their fees and make up their money losses from the innocent customer. Been dealing with this matter since Sept. 2009 and still can't get them to admit their mistake.

2010 Board
of NAACP
the President's Desk
by Linda F. Hoskins
My name is Linda F. Hoskins and I
am the President of the Madison
Branch of the NAACP. Our Vice-President is
Shelia Stubbs. The Secretary is Sandy Mines. Our Assistant
Secretary is Nancy Taylor. Our Treasure is Pastori Balele. Members
At-Large are Frank Humphrey Esq., Ida Thomas, Addrena Squires,
Sadie Pearson, and
Detria Hassel.
We have new leadership. We
have old faces and new faces working together on Social Justice and
Civil Right Issues. We are about teamwork because together everyone
achieves more. Teamwork focuses on the course of social justice and
civil right issues and taking the course to the highest level.
Teamwork makes everyone aware of all the problems and finding ways
and means to solve the problem. As a team we can build bridges that
will be used and last for ever as long as we remember and motivate
ourselves that "We, the team got the job done and built the
bridge that solve problems."
Linda Hoskins,
President of Madison Branch NAACP
Madison Branch Annual Freedom Fund Banquet
This year we celebrate 101
years and our theme is "One Nation, One Dream!" We
are paying homage to the 60 distinguished pioneers who signed
the Lincoln Day Call, which led to the founding of the
association on February 12, 1909
Our Honorary Keynote Speaker is
Dennis "Bose" Biddle. He is a retired social worker and
former Negro League Baseball player. Mr. Biddle was born on June 24,
1935 in Magnolia, Arkansas.
Biddle's career in baseball began in
1953 when he was seventeen years old. He was playing in the state
championship in Arkansas for the National Farmers' Association. A
scout and booking agent for the Negro League Chicago American Giants
saw him pitch a no-hitter in the championship and asked him if he
would like to try out with the Chicago American Giants. Biddle
played for the Chicago American Giants in 1953 and 1954. Because he
was only seventeen years old when he played, Biddle was entered into
the Congressional Record as the youngest person to play in the Negro
baseball leagues. In 1955, the Chicago Cubs were interested in
purchasing his contract from the Chicago American Giants.
Unfortunately, on the first day of spring training, Biddle jammed
his leg and broke his ankle in two places while sliding into third
base. The injury never fully healed and Biddle's baseball career
At the age of twenty-two, Biddle went
back to school in 1958. He received his B.A. degree in social work
from the University of Wisconsin. Biddle worked for the next
twenty-four years with the State of Wisconsin as a social worker in
the corrections system. After retiring from the corrections system,
he began working for a social service agency called C.Y.D. - Career
Youth Development. In this capacity, he continues to work with the
same type of youth he worked with when he was a social worker.
In 1996, Biddle founded the
organization, Yesterday's Negro League Baseball Players LLC to
support the surviving members of the Negro League baseball teams and
defend their economic interests.
Your sponsorship will be used to
assist our youth educational program, such as High School Drop-out,
Closing the Achievement Gap on Educational Disparities, Stop the
Violence, Killing, Suicides, and Alcohol/Drugs. In addition, your
sponsorship will continue to assist many families in the arenas of
health, education, and criminal justice. It will continue to help
identify civil rights and social justice issues. Finally, your
sponsorship will continue to assist with the reduction of
disparities as it pertains to people of color. All quality
non-profit organizations need financial assistance to help achieve
their goals. The Freedom Fund Dinner is our major fundraiser of the
year. Your support is critical in assisting the local branch to
provide services to the poor, underserved, the underprivileged, the
hopeless the neglected, the people who have been discriminated and
the underrepresented and the people who have been denied equal
access to the "American Dream". Our journey remains
unfinished. We must fight for equal opportunity.
The conditions in our city have
surpassed our resources to serve beyond our Civil Rights Agenda. We
must continue to serve the people of this city, county and
surrounding areas. We must be able to direct the people to the
resources that they need as we continue to protect their Civil
Rights and Social Justice.
We have developed talents for our
young people by exposing them to cultural activities and travel. We
have been able to motivate, empower and lead.
We have partnered with businesses and
corporations in promoting diversity in the workplace encouraging
citizens to support our local businesses as well as our city. In our
political area we were very successful in mobilizing our "Get
Out to Vote" Campaign through our Education Voter Registration
and Participation Projects". Our Health Luncheon was extremely
successful in addressing our theme, "Reducing Disparities in
Respiratory Diseases".
Our branch efforts are to build
stronger communities, youth programs, support enforcement of civil
rights, laws and improve the quality of life for all of Greater
Madison Residents.
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People is the nation's oldest and most
recognized civil rights organization in the world. It was formed in
1909, to promote freedom, justice and equality for all Americans
regardless of race or national origin. It should be noted that the
NAACP is 101 year's old this year.
As always, we look forward to you
joining us at the NAACP 2010 Freedom Fund Banquet.
All remittances must be made payable
to NAACP Madison Branch and sent to NAACP Madison Branch, P.O. Box

NAACP Madison Branch
The Madison Branch of the NAACP held
its Fourth Annual Health Luncheon on Saturday, March 13, 2010 at
11:00 a.m. at the Radisson Hotel Madison, 517 Grand Canyon Drive,
Madison, Wisconsin. The Theme of the Luncheon was: "Reducing
Disparities in Respiratory Diseases". The Invited Guest Speaker
for our luncheon will be Emanuel Scarbrough.
The Health Luncheon focused on
awareness in the African-American Community. We have a health
component and this will enlighten our members as well as the
community. During the presentation we will be educated about methods
used to eliminate policies and practices that lead to disparities in
respiratory diseases.
Your participation will demonstrate
the collective strength of our Branch in order to assure better
health to our community.
The NAACP's
Role in Restoring Honor to the Tea Party
• In a national television
appearance with NAACP President & CEO just days after the
resolution passed, spokesman David Webb announced that the Tea Party
Federation had expelled the Tea Party Express, one of the most
politically powerful organizations within the movement, from the
larger federation. Noting that a racially-charged blog post by TPE
leader Mark Williams was "clearly offensive," the announcement
effectively split within Tea Party leadership, and underscored the
fact that the movement has the mechanism to police itself when it
wants to.
• After the NAACP resolution
focused media attention on the widespread use of racist imagery on
signs and banners at Tea Party rallies across the country, Fox News
personality Glenn Beck instructed his followers to leave all signs
at home in the lead-up to a conservative rally on the National Mall
scheduled for August 28.
• The Tea Party Express held a
press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on
August 4 to explain their efforts to reach out to people of color.
We are satisfied that on August 28,
there were few overt signs of racism – however, we remain
committed to holding the Tea Party to their word. Our coalition
watchdog website, TeaPartyTracker.org,
will serve as evidence of this ongoing vigilance of extremism within
the Tea Party movement.
The NAACP has always believed in the
promise of America – a promise built on mutual respect, common
civility, and hope for a better tomorrow. Together, we will continue
to do our part to ensure that the Tea Party reflects these values as
