Blended services help leading insurer create new risk culture
This insurer discovered that powerful software is only one element in creating a genuinely risk-focused business: with external services needed for delivery, specialist expertise and trust proved equally important.
"Our relationship with this insurance company goes back 15 years, and more recently has seen us providing help and support for Solvency II," says Jeremy Clarke, Client Services Manager, SAS. Solvency II, which comes into effect from 2014, is a European Union directive to codify and harmonise insurance regulations. In essence, the directive covers the amount of capital an insurance company must hold to reduce the risk of going bust. It's also controversial, drawing criticism from some insurers on how the legislation was drawn up, and it has become a political issue. The fact remains that it needs to be implemented – with some companies using it as a useful vehicle to deal with broader issues around enterprise governance, risk and control.
'One team' approach
Clarke says, "We responded to a request for a proposal from the company at group level to provide management, risk and compliance reporting to meet internal requirements to support more effective management of key risks and controls – the company mission is to improve returns for its policyholders – as well as external obligations. We responded with a solution that addressed all those requirements." What made this sale special, however, was the fact that SAS® Professional Services were involved from the outset, to help plan and deploy the solution, to provide adoption services and training, and deliver high levels of premium support. "This was a 'one team' approach," Clarke says. "The client recognised the software was right for them, and also saw our people as the acknowledged experts in the field – we know the software inside out, and understood what was required to deliver a new risk-management culture across the organisation, integrating the various repositories around risk. They saw us as far more than 'just' another software vendor."
The result was a blended team that comprised domain experts, software architects, technical account managers and education specialists, working closely with the insurer's people – who while clearly talented, faced a skills shortfall in SAS®. Initially, a consulting team provided best-of-breed technical skills and expertise. This essential Phase Zero and requirements-gathering phase was followed by architecture and infrastructure design to map these into functional specifications, then implementation across three distinct business environments, with project management expertise threaded throughout.
'A relationship based on trust'
The first phases were delivered successfully, despite delays on the client side caused by budgetary constraints that meant SAS had to be even more flexible and adaptable in service delivery than would ordinarily be the case. "Throughout, we worked closely with the in-house team responsible for delivery on the insurer's side," says Steve Thompson, Project Manager. "This was based on a good understanding of what was required, a determination by both sides not to deliver late, and the fact we'd built a relationship based on trust. That really helped. Both sides could speak openly on any issues. We also made sure they knew precisely what was happening and what costs were being incurred, with regular phone calls and monthly billing." Thompson says it was vital to have strong project management on both sides, for sound governance and to keep everything on track. "Some of the biggest challenges came at the end, with the customisations and bespoke work required – however, we still were able to deliver the system within the client's budget."
Project management and control
"This implementation shows the importance of IT and the business working together to achieve the best outcomes," Clarke adds. "Along with that all-important Phase Zero and flexibility in how we engaged – caused by the client's budget issues – it's clear that great project management and control on both sides was critical, especially when different stages of the roll-out started to overlap. At the same time as we were building release 1 modules, we were documenting functional specifications for release 2 modules, based on their requirements. Then we had testing and support for release 1, while also building release 2 modules. It was a busy time."
The insurer now has new insights and can make faster and more effective decisions relating to financial exposure. "The firm has a single system: a central point for recording risks and its controls around risk, and for reporting incidents," Clarke says. "They've replaced manual reports, and the quality of data has improved dramatically. They can now recognise and report, by financial exposure, on the top five risks faced by the business."

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Google has forged an agreement to bring premium TV channels HBO and Cinemax to its Google Fiber TV customers, the company announced today. The availability of HBO on Google Fiber TV is a big win for those that may have been skeptical of the service because it lacked the robust lineup of channels available from other cable and satellite TV providers. When it first rolled out to Kansas City, Google Fiber lacked a bulk of sports programming as well as staple cable networks owned by Time Warner, such as Cartoon Network, TBS, and TNT. It also didn't even give you the option of adding on HBO until now. Like other cable providers, if you want HBO you'll have to tack on an extra fee every month. The rate is $20 per month for all the HBO bundle of channels (HBO, HBO 2, HBO Signature, HBO Family, HBO Latino, HBO Comedy, and HBO Zone). For another $10 you can get the Cinemax bundle (Max, MoreMax, ActionMax, ThrillerMax, WMax, @Max, 5-StarMax, and OuterMax), too. You'll also gain access to the HBO Go and Max Go streaming services, which are currently only available to those that subscribe through a cable service. Additionally, Google Fiber TV is offering a premium package for $40 per month that adds Starz and Showtime to the mix. All rates are (I believe) slightly lower than what you'd be charged from other TV service providers, and at the end of the day it's still probably cheaper to go with Google Fiber (with its blazing fast gigabit Internet package.) The greater Kansas City area customers will spend about $150 per month (not including taxes) to get HBO/Cinemax along with the standard bundle of over 150 cable channels and local broadcast affiliate stations. Pricing for Google Fiber in Austin, Tex. has yet to be determined, but Fiber employees at the city's Google Fiber Austin event last week seemed to indicate that it wouldn't be too far from what people are paying in KC. I'd imagine that would be true for these HBO and Cinemax packages, too. Image via HBO VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

CDL or Chauffeur's Lic?
View Single Post
LawnSite Senior Member
Join Date: Jan 2013
Location: Pittsburgh (South Hills)
Posts: 671
I have a PA class A with air brake restriction removed, Haz-mat, tanker, doubles, triples and passenger endorsements.
The Class A is Combinations (trailers over 10k) Which also covers class B (singles over 26,000) and Class C (standard passenger car, light truck, vehicles 26,000 and under). I have a medical card, and I am drug tested a few times a year.
None of this has anything to do with lawn care. I drive a 1/2 ton truck with a trailer well under 10k. The vehicle has no requirement (in my state) for a CDL Nor a chauffeurs license (Not a driving a limo or cab). Simply having a CDL of any class doesnt in its self cause any more hoops to jump through. The extra requirements are dependent on the vehicle you are driving.
Me driving a half ton truck with a 2900lb trailer while holding a class A license is no different than a 16 yr old doing the same with a class C. The only difference is, I can drive the half ton truck to the lot and get in a tri axle tractor and haul a 105,000 excavator down the road. Again, the license type only matters depending on the vehicle being operated. Hiring a guy with a CDL to drive a light truck doesnt change anything in the business. If anything it assures the owner that the guy is a safe driver as its easier to loose a CDL than a Class C.
I don't know why you insinuate people are "skating by" when much of what you said in a "public service announcement" way is wrong or irrelevant. I have my CDL for my other jobs. I have hauled 1k lb scrubbers to 110,000lb excavators, 40ft busses on the back of a 40ft long wrecker and everything in between. While I am far from knowing it all about anything, I am the last one to insinuate that people are skating by without even knowing what the rules are for where they live and operate. Then again, I have enough extra letters on my license to drive damn near anything with wheels on a highway, so I'm not too concerned if the logo on the steering wheel reads Fiat, GMC or Peterbuilt nor if its an automatic or 18spd (Although expecting an engine brake to come on in my pickup after driving a big truck all day usually causes a "doh" moment. lol)
Just like everyone else on here, I have stuff that cuts, whacks, mows and blows. And way to haul it around.

LOS ANGELES, CA - JUNE 25: Beau Bennett, drafted 20th overall of the Pittsburgh Penguins, poses for a portrait during the 2010 NHL Entry Draft at Staples Center on June 25, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Harry How/Getty Images)
The Pittsburgh Penguins completely and utterly dominated the New York Islanders in game one of their Stanley Cup Playoff series, winning 5-0. Beau Bennett got things started early on the power play less than five minutes into the game by beating Evgeni Nabokov with this ridiculous shot. Nabokov had literally no chance, this is one of the most perfect shots I've ever seen. To beat Nabokov short side high-glove from that angle is absolutely ridiculous. This looks like it could be a very lopsided playoff series. [NHL.com]

Steinar Sigurðsson, Dögun, 1964.
4th of November is the last day of the exhibition Lyric Vision – Abstract-Expressionism in Icelandic Art, 1957-1970 which is at display at Reykjavik Art Museum - Kjarvalsstaðir.
As the first retrospective exhibition of Icelandic abstract expressionism, this exhibition marks a watershed in the history of exhibitions of Icelandic artists in this country. In the years following World War II art experts turned their attention and their critiques first and foremost to geometric abstract art, with its focus on bright colours and sharply defined formalism. In contrast to this, the radical changes in the late 1950s, and the rise of a more interpretive abstract expressionism, which played a large part in Icelandic painting from the time of Kristján Davíðsson's exhibition in 1957 until the end of the 1960s, has still not received the debate it deserves. This exhibition aims to fill that gap.

Polls Are Closed: Little Monsters could not care less about all those iconic referencesI found myself having a lunch meeting in Rockefeller Plaza today- about 18 hours before Lady Gaga is to have her outdoor concert on the TODAY Show tomorrow morning. There was a line of intensely devoted fans– from teens to families– that already went down the street. Mind you it's boiling hot outside and camping out on a Midtown Manhattan street overnight and then some is not the most glamorous experience, even if you are under a makeshift tent.Published on July 09, 2010

Cynthia Rowley has designed 11 styles of Pampers, including pastels, stripes, madras and ruffles.On one hand, sure why shouldn't diapers be cute?On the other hand, what about my pet peeve with all those moms, dads, and nannies who let the kid run around with a full load. Gross as that is, a pretty diaper is another excuse to look, sniff the other way.>> SHOP for some Diaper Bags just as cute as the designer diapiesthey'll be offered in Target Corp. stores beginning in mid-JulyPublished on June 30, 2010
Madonna the Mommy Talks on Video About Her Material Girl Clothing Line With Lordes
Madonna the Mommy has the same dress concerns as you and ILast week we announced that Madonna's Material Girl Collection is the ultimate Mommy and Me clothing line. Now we have a video of Madonna the Mom talking about what it's like to have a very stylish child.Her concerns and proud mom moments sound pretty much the same as most parents who live in an urban environment and happen to have a rather sophisticated kid– it's rather cute and endearing.Material Girl clothing launches at Macy's on August 3 and Madonna talks about hoping to get a Material Girl float for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade– I was hoping to get a pass to the bleachers the year that I had my TV commercial for Macy's!

I enjoy listening to music. My phone usually has the Spotify app running. For a music lover Spotify is amazing. It's great to be able to just grab your phone and listen to some Coldplay or Black Keys whenever the mood strikes you. I am always looking to find new music so if you have any suggestions feel free to send me a message. Besides music, my other passion is volleyball. Nothing beats running and diving around in the sand while spending time with a great group of friends. I play at least two times a week and it is the one thing that keeps me sane whenever I am having a bad day. I have a steady job and a great group of friends. I do my best to enjoy life to the fullest and tend to find humor in the smallest things. I am just looking for a fun and interesting woman to spend some time with and see where things take us.

Bodies in glass: genetics, eugenics, embryo ethics
Manchester University Press, Jan 23, 1997 - Medical - 224 pages
'Baby Drug Kills Test-Tube Mum', 'Black Couples Beg Me to Give Them White Babies': these headlines, along with recent debates over 'virgin births' parental rights over frozen embryos and 'gay genes' are characteristic of nearly two decades of popular controversies generated in the wake of in vitro fertilisation (IVF), recombinant genetics and related reproduction technologies. Bodies in Glass is an extensive analysis of feminist approaches to IVF and other new techniques covered by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990. Deborah Steinberg exlores the professional and legal cultures of IVF, selective breeding ideologies and embryo 'rights' politics in this innovative and topical book.

Good printer, but makes more noise than expected. This is the third one that I have gotten. First one was replaced under warranty, could not clear the jets to print. The second one had the same problem but was just out of warranty. The only reason I got another Workforce 30 was that I had 10 new ink cartridges. Don't know if I will get a 4th even if I have an abundance of ink cartridges.

Great, easy set-up. You can get printing in moments after getting it home. It does a great job printing with the first set of ink cartridges... In the long-term, it's very disappointing. The ink cartridges can only be proprietor-brand -- or else you face the challenge of trying to get it to work with other-name-brand cartridges, not an easy task... The first set of cartridges make great print-outs! After you reload ink - proprietor-brand or competitor - it just never works the same again. Horrid printouts, loads of trouble-shooting, to no avail. For an added bonus, when it's time to replace the ink, it costs just about as much to buy a whole new printer as it does to replace the cartridges! What is the proprietor trying to tell us?... "Waste aplenty!" Thumbs down for this printer. Thumbs down for the cartridges. Powers that be, I beg you! Please let this poor elementary school teacher find an economical printer that can last throughout my years -- at least a couple of them -- in the classroom!

Comments about Epson WorkForce 30 Inkjet Printer:
What good is a printer that doesn't feed properly half the time? Even standard 8 1/2 X 11 paper or worse yet is a little heavier certificate type stock that doesn't feed at all. Going back to my good old reliable C88+. May be a bit slower but gets the job done.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Long overdue
By darlene
from Philadelphia, pa
I received this printer months ago and was delighted to find that it was a snap to set-up and operate. I wish I set it up when I first received it because I was paying copy places for print-outs. What a waste of time and money Love this printer!!!
Excellent Printer!
By Big Fan
from Trenton,N.J.
This Printer is excellent. It works like a dream. I had this printer for over a year and no complaints do I have. Great printer and so is Epson.
Ink Conspiracy
By DocAnne
from St. Louis
I do not like this printer and here's why. It has 5 ink cartridges, and when any single one of them is out of ink, the printer will not print until it is replaced. If it is one of the three color cartridges, you cannot make it just print B&W. It stops in midst of a print job, and will not resume until you replace the empty cartridge. Thus, one must always have a ready supply of replacement ink. Point #2- I and my computer guru tech have tried to find a means to make it print in "draft mode" to conserve ink, but it is not possible as far as either of us can tell. I have never owned a printer that didn't have a "draft" print option #until now#. Obviously, these two aspects of this printer have major benefits for the ink vendors. Yes, the printing looks good, but I wouldn't buy this printer ever again because other printers print nicely, too.

Don't know if I will buy another epson. This printer does not like card stock paper, it won't print on allot of the #10 envelopes it jams. Just aboutbthe only thing this printer likes is the plain copy/printer paper. I own two of these printers and I should have saved my money.

Christopher Stuck began writing as a child due to an overactive imagination and an innate love of the English language. It all began in the early 1990′s with an old dedicated word processor for which Christopher was given a 3.5″ floppy disk. The disk was a magical thing, full of blank space to fill with not-so-magical words. When his tale of a cave that allowed children to not only travel through time but also to watch evolution in action was ruined by being left in a pants pocket and sent through the wash, Christopher turned to scripting and drawing sub-par comics.
Now Christopher is an adult, in age if not maturity, with an overactive imagination and an innate love of the English language. He writes things he would like to read, currently working on a modern fantasy aimed at Young Adults. This novel would be filed under "urban fantasy," if not for the fact that it is set in Kansas, where the only "urban" is Keith.
Christopher splits his time between his homeland of Colorado and Spokane, WA, where he attends Eastern Washington University in pursuit of a degree in Literary Studies and works as the Chief Copy Editor of the student newspaper. He has an understanding wife, a not-so-understanding cat, and a tattoo of He-Man's Battle Cat on his left shoulder.

In this paper we propose a method to apply prior geometric information to Kalman Filter-based SLAM. The prior information takes the form of a map which is used in the SLAM process, and need not have the same form as the SLAM map. We validate the method using simulations based on a large urban environment, and show that the prior map significantly improves the performance and consistency of SLAM. We show that this improvement extends to situations where 60% of the beacons are close to, but not part of a feature in the prior map.

"The Washington Post - "NPR - "Good Housekeeping"
Elizabeth Strout "animates the ordinary with an astonishing force," wrote "The New Yorker" on the publication of her Pulitzer Prize-winning "Olive Kitteridge." The "San Francisco Chronicle" praised Strout's "magnificent gift for humanizing characters." Now the acclaimed author returns with a stunning novel as powerful and moving as any work in contemporary literature.
Haunted by the freak accident that killed their father when they were children, Jim and Bob Burgess escaped from their Maine hometown of Shirley Falls for New York City as soon as they possibly could. Jim, a sleek, successful corporate lawyer, has belittled his bighearted brother their whole lives, and Bob, a Legal Aid attorney who idolizes Jim, has always taken it in stride. But their long-standing dynamic is upended when their sister, Susan--the Burgess sibling who stayed behind--urgently calls them home. Her lonely teenage son, Zach, has gotten himself into a world of trouble, and Susan desperately needs their help. And so the Burgess brothers return to the landscape of their childhood, where the long-buried tensions that have shaped and shadowed their relationship begin to surface in unexpected ways that will change them forever.
With a rare combination of brilliant storytelling, exquisite prose, and remarkable insight into character, Elizabeth Strout has brought to life two deeply human protagonists whose struggles and triumphs will resonate with readers long after they turn the final page. Tender, tough-minded, loving, and deeply illuminating about the ties that bind us to family and home, "The Burgess Boys" is Elizabeth Strout's newest and perhaps most astonishing work of literary art.
Praise for "The Burgess Boys"
"What truly makes Strout exceptional . . . is the perfect balance she achieves between the tides of story and depths of feeling."--"Chicago Tribune"
"Strout's prose propels the story forward with moments of startlingly poetic clarity."--"The New Yorker"
" "
"Elizabeth Strout's first two books, "Abide with Me "and" Amy and Isabelle, "were highly thought of, and her third, "Olive Kitteridge, " won the Pulitzer Prize in fiction. But "The Burgess Boys, "her most recent novel, is her best yet."--"The Boston Globe"
" "
"A portrait of an American community in turmoil that's as ambitious as Philip Roth's "American Pastoral" but more intimate in tone."--"Time"
" "
" Strout's] extraordinary narrative gifts are evident again. . . . At times "The Burgess Boys "is] almost effortlessly fluid, with superbly rendered dialogue, sudden and unexpected bolts of humor and . . . startling riffs of gripping emotion."--Associated Press
" Strout] is at her masterful best when conjuring the two Burgess boys. . . . Scenes between them ring so true."--"San Francisco Chronicle"
"No one should be surprised by the poignancy and emotional vigor of Elizabeth Strout's new novel. But the broad social and political range of "The Burgess Boys" shows just how impressively this extraordinary writer continues to develop."--"The Washington Post.
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elizabeth Strout comes from a family established in Maine for eight generations. When she left Maine for Brooklyn, she says, it was seen as a betrayal. The characters in her new novel make that same journey. More at NPR.org

I was just wondering if anyone else is currently experiencing this or has with a previous pregnancy-
Me and DH have been having major problems with our relationship since getting pregnant. Until 12 weeks I was very sick and had no desire or energy to do much of anything. I think many of you can relate with that, but DH just did not get it and we constantly argued about me "never doing anything," and he just pretty much ignored the fact that I was constantly in some kind of pain. When I would ask him to get me something to eat so I could stop throwing up, he would take his sweet time until I went and did it myself and just laughed in my face when I would tell him how painful it is to be hungry and I wished he would care little bit. All he cared about was sex... or the lack there of because I just felt too bad and had no desire.
Fast forward to now, I am 16 weeks and feeling much better. I have the energy to stay on top of the housework and laundry now but still get "you never do anything" and my favorite, "you are so ungrateful" for absoutely no reason. I think all the problems we are having has come down to not having sex. Even now that I am over the sick stage, I still have absolutely no desire still and the few times that I have given in have been quite painful for me. Still he doesn't get it and I "don't care about him." I tell him all the time that its just from the pregnancy and I honestly can't help it and it won't last forever but he says its a lie and refuses to believe it.
I have been struggling with things grossing me out as well and can't even kiss him without being grossed out, which he noticed and I tried to explain but he just will not hear it.
So long story short, I am getting absolutely no support in this pregnancy and don't even feel like he wants our child since the last thing he said to me was "getting you pregnant was an awful turn of events"
There are a few other issues going on because I have a daughter from a previous relationship but those issues were there before the pregnancy and have just continued.
I'm really starting to resent him for the way he is acting and I'm really hoping that these feelings go away after the pregnancy. I understand that things are different than they were before but he seems to think it only affects him.
Has anyone else been through this and had the same feeling as me and were able to get past it? Also, has anyone found a way to help DH understand what I am going through as well? Sorry this was long.. any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated. We have been to couceling which helped for a short time, but it seems everything we learned has since been forgotten. TIA

- Quick Takes: Tennessee President Quits, Harvard Slows Work on New Campus, Protests at NYU, More Cuts at Santa Fe, Morrill to Succeed Connor at Teagle, U. of Ga. Apologizes for Condom Poster
'How Do You Know?'
As head of the Teagle Foundation for six years, Robert Connor didn't have anywhere near the money of the Lumina Foundation for Education or the visibility of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. But that didn't stop him and the foundation from working tirelessly, through grants to colleges and many "convenings" of higher education officials, to encourage the "systematic assessment" of what students learn.
While his six-year tenure at Teagle -- which concludes upon his retirement at the end of this year -- overlapped with Education Secretary Margaret Spellings and her Commission on the Future of Higher Education, Connor does not see his work at Teagle as fully aligned with the Bush administration's own focus on student learning outcomes, he said in an interview with Inside Higher Ed, excerpts of which can be heard in this podcast.
"I'm not a big fan of Ms. Spellings" and her "top-down," government-led approach, Connor said, though he credited her with stimulating the discussion.
Connor said he had seen a significant "change in the environment" in terms of colleges' acceptance of the idea that they need to answer the "how do you know?" questions about what and how much their students are learning. Though many faculty members continue to resist the idea that one can "measure the human soul with numbers," he said, in many ways "the argument has changed."
A podcast of the conversation with Connor can be found here.

When does it get stinkin" hot down south?

Stinking Hot is a completely relative term . You know from experience
in Ontario . There as down south. people standing within sight of
each other on the same day can have totally different descriptions
for what they experience of the temperature and humidity .
Some consider 25C too hot and burst out in sweat at the mention,
others feel it might be chilly .
This phenomenon has gotten worse as people live their lives
at home and work mostly in air conditioned boxes.They never
get acclimated ,loose all perspective listening to weather reporters
talking about exaggerated numbers for humidex numbers or"feels like"
temperatures, windchill values and on and on.
Go south to any point and any time in summer with
the expectation of warm weather like any hot day in
Ontario in summer . You will enjoy yourself ( I always do)
Local whiners knowledge can be a disservice ,you will just be
the tourist going through. Enjoy. Sure beats frost and snow !
If you notice yourself beginning to stink just take a good
shower at the motel and re apply deodorant as required

Economics and Business Economics
Why are some countries rich and others poor? What are the benefits of the euro as the principal currency in Europe? How can we make health care affordable? Why do people start up their own company? How can subsidies and taxes help reduce pollution? Will performance-based remuneration induce employees to take more risks?
Choosing Economics and Business Economics
If you choose for the BSc in Economics and Business Economics in Utrecht, you choose for a broad-based view of this field of study. Economics in Utrecht analyses economic issues with the insights of other fields such as Geography, Law and Social Sciences. By using this approach to study societal issues such as the emergence of social media or the development of unemployment in the Netherlands, you will learn to see these issues from different perspectives and will learn to think in terms of solutions and consequences.
Your insights will be enriched by the international learning environment offered by the Utrecht University School of Economics (U.S.E.). Students come from more than 50 different countries. The programme crosses multiple borders: language borders, geographical borders and the borders of other disciplines.

Do men EVER respect really slutty girls?
I'm worried no guy will ever really respect me. I am really slutty. I've slept with a lot of guys and honestly I don't plan on changing that unless I... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Personally I don't lose respect for girls because of their sexual behavior. My respect for a woman (or a man) is contingent on the quality of their character.
I'll be honest, I'm a virgin but I have a really relaxed attitude towards sex. I'm not at all a "traditional" guy. I logically examine my beliefs instead of just accepting what society tells me to and I have no moral problems with people that enjoy sex and have it liberally. In fact, I kind of have respect for women who are bold enough to be openly sexual since being labeled a "slut" is (unfortunately) considered social suicide for a woman.
If what guys say here is any indication, though, I seem to be an exception, unfortunately. Most guys seem to frown on it.
Most guys frown on it... and those guys are getting laid... but you aren't, so obviously your views aren't helping your... situation
What Guys Said 7
This is what I get: you like sex, you know it, you enjoy it, you don't lie about it. For some (many?) guys, this isn't merely respectable, but ideal.
Imagine they guys' perspective. We could date women who don't like sex, women who pretend to like sex, women who don't like that we like sex, women who lie and say they like sex because it's what they think we want to hear--or we could date you. Seen this way, you look like a real winner.
having sex is a personal choice
i don't mind tomorrow hooking up with a girl who has had a past consisting of quite a bit of sexual history
i believe one is free to do whatever he or she wants.so follow your heart.
and yeah a girl who has sex with lot of guys just because she likes to,I don't consider her as a slut
what do you consider her..?
just another girl
Its tough to give you a general answer, but a majority of guys won't respect you. If you have a reputation for being the sexpot, then that is how guys will treat. We all decide how others will treat us by the way we act and let them act around us. If a guy thinks that you are the one to go to for sex, then that is how you'll be seen- the hookup. The guys that might be looking for a relationship will pass you over more often than not. Either they are turned off by what you do, or they don't feel like they could trust you.
If you used to sleep with a lot of men but then you stop because you're dating me I could probably respect that but in general no I don't respect sluts and if I know a woman has had lots of partners it makes me think I'm going to get STD's from her. I've never done the friends with benefits thing so I couldn't tell you if a guy respects you in that situation or not.
What Girls Said 2
One has to earn respect! With that being said your sexual encounters alone should not be the reason one has no respect for another person. I like you, have an exceptional large sexual appetite and sleep with many different guys doing many crazy things. I also hold a very good job, have a fairly normal homelife, am a good mom, and treat others with the respect they deserve. Sure I have had some call me a slut, whore etc, but the vast majority treat me as the good person I am. I know that not every girl is like me and fascinated by the penis and having all kinds of different sex and glad most people don't hold that against me. It hurts nobody, I enjoy it and mine is even a bit more different because I love interracial and it is pretty much all I get involved with. I have many friends both guys and girls who I have no sexual contact with who are very good friends and although sometimes will tease me or ask me about my adventures, still remain good friends.
I mean the problem is you don't demand respect you let guys run all over you and it makes you look stupid. Also, have SOME even a tiny bit of dignity and self respect... Put yourself in these guys positions I mean would you want to date you? You're already giving it up to whoever looks at you, what kind of guy would want that? You might be someone fun to screw, and hang out with every now and then (when they want sex since your pretty much useless for anything else) but think about it... are you the kind of girl a guy would like to marry or have a family with? Because all my guy friends have always told me that they "don't marry sluts and whores, they are good for a good night of f***ing but that's pretty much it". and yeah you can use that whole BS "I don't believe in sluts its just an oppressive term for women" BUT in society that is how it is and the faster you realize that no guy will respect you or want to be with you long term the better off you'll be. I have heard the way guys talk about girls like that and I would NEVER want to be one that he is telling his friends about

As the host of its own tournament at the Twin Rinks, the Cicero-North Syracuse ice hockey team hoped it would provide a springboard to the rest of its season.
The Northstars first met Burnt Hills in last Friday's opening round and put together its most prolific offensive effort of the season, ripping past the Spartans 11-3.
It didn't take long for CNS to pull clear. All the Northstars did in the first period was register five unanswered goals, and it continued to produce in the second period, building its margin to 9-1 before cooling off.
Brian Hamilton and Nick Hall each registered three-goal hat tricks, with Hamilton getting two assists and Hall earning one assist.
Brad Monroe picked up a goal and two assists, while Nate Lerch, Matt Kennedy, Josh Studt and Sean Caza also scored. Cody Spadaro gained three assists, with Billy Temple and Kyle Siegle getting two assists apiece. Nick Schneid, Justin Tyler, Eric Hamilton and Evan Merulla joined Kennedy and Caza with single assists.
Moving on to Saturday's final, CNS encountered Penfield, who beat Cazenovia 6-3 in the other opening-round game.
Despite an early lead, the Northstars lost to the Patriots 3-1. Monroe scored off a pass from Hamilton in the first period, but that 1-0 lead disappeared when Penfield found the net twice in the second period. In defeat, Zach Hall made 20 saves.
For its first game of 2010, Liverpool went to Ithaca, where it again struggled to find offense in a 4-1 loss to the Little Red.
Trailing 1-0, the Warriors did get on the board in the second period as Ryan Marino scored off a feed from Jeff Conese. But Ithaca countered with two goals, then pulled away late, negating the work of goalie Mike Sportelli, who had 24 saves.
Back home at State Fair Coliseum Friday night to face Auburn, the Warriors would turn it around, fighting past the Maroons 4-3.
The first period proved pivotal, as Liverpool bolted to a 2-0 lead. From that point forward, every time Auburn would convert, the Warriors would answer, and Sportelli's 34 saves aided in the cause, too.
On the offensive end, Matt McCaffrey led Liverpool with two goals, while Conese and Michael Bay each had one goal and one assist. Brad Capone added two assists, with A.J. LaMacchia getting a single assist.
