Staying in the High Response Cost, High Yield Zone
By JJ Virgin, CNS, CHFI
As you all know from reading Dr. Phil's book,
The Ultimate Weight Solution
, managing your weight successfully involves changing your lifestyle and mastering the
seven keys
. This is a process that involves exchanging unhealthy habits for healthy ones.
One of the habits we have been working on is exchanging Low Response Cost, Low Yield (LRC/LY) foods for High Response Cost, High Yield (HRC/HY) foods. Part of the way we have been doing this is by retraining your taste buds to appreciate the sweetness of fresh fruit and the different flavors you can create from herbs, mustards and vinegars.
In the program, we allow diet sodas and sugar substitutes like stevia and xylitol and recommend low fat and nonfat products. These can be part of a healthy diet when
used correctly
. We can use these to enhance HRC/HY foods.
Used incorrectly
, these fat-free and sugar-free products can keep you hooked on sweet tastes and LRC/LY foods. Dr. Phil stresses whole and unprocessed foods as the foundation for a healthy eating program. These HRC/HY foods are also fantastic "hunger-suppressors" as he discusses in the book. Many of these "fat-free, sugar-free" foods are highly processed and are LRC/LY foods. You may think they are "healthy" because they are "fat-free and sugar-free," so you are tempted to overeat because they seem safe. They also keep your taste buds craving sugar and fat.
It's time to teach your taste buds to appreciate the sweetness in fresh fruit — if you want to enhance the sweetness, add a little cinnamon or real vanilla (no sugar). These spices are naturally sweet and good for you too.
Use fat-free or nonfat dairy products with other HRC/HY foods — use cottage cheese with berries, put some low-fat or nonfat cheese on a salad or spice up some plain nonfat yogurt with mint and top your grilled chicken with it.
I have emphasized trying a new vegetable every week — I want you now to try a new spice as well. Try adding basil to your salad, crushed sage, parsley and garlic as a "crust" for your chicken or mint to your fruit and yogurt parfait.
Make holidays a time to create a special favorite that is HRC/HY and be the one to start some new, healthy family traditions!
Also to all of the Challengers:
Carry your food journal with you and write down every time you eat or drink. When you try to remember at the end of the day, you may forget something. Also, make sure you are checking all of your portions and following the nutrition chapter recommendations explicitly.
Here is a review of the portions:
Protein at each meal — palm-sized portion
2 low-fat dairy servings a day — 1 cup milk* or yogurt, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 slice cheese or 1 oz.
2 fruit servings — 1/2 cup = tennis ball or cupped hand
4 vegetable servings — same as fruit
2-3 carb servings (you can exchange these for more veggie servings) — 1 slice of bread, 1/2 cup or tennis ball, cupped hand
1 fat serving —size of your thumb or a tablespoon
*If you are insulin resistant you should not use milk and avoid caffeine until we get that resolved.

If only an an old truck could talk. As part of our Friday series of essays produced in partnership with the Telling Room in Portland, Balthasar von Huene gives voice to a military work-horse that found a new life in Maine.
My line goes back a while. My ancestors in the Great War, my older cousins in Korea, and my siblings in Vietnam have all served admirably. We aren't the Sherman tanks you see documentaries about, or the peppy little jeeps you always see in the movies. We are the drab-looking trucks in the background. Nobody talks about us, but we're always there.
Ours was the thankless grunt work of trucking soldiers and ammunition over mountains, through mud, and across rivers to the front. It was our kind who made forward air bases possible, moving fuel and ammunition to the planes and putting out the fires when something went wrong.
In Vietnam, steel plates were bolted onto us and machine guns were thrown on our backs to go after the Viet Cong. We have made the U.S. Armed Forces possible for 30 years and have scarcely been thanked. We are the Dodge M37s, and we're still here.
It was 51 years ago that I rolled off the Chrysler assembly line. I looked and felt like a million bucks in my fresh Air Force Blue paint, like any soldier feels in a clean uniform. Well, you can imagine how long that lasted once the reality of USAF service kicked in.
Granted, some say that I had it easy compared to my siblings in the Army. But although my olive drab comrades may have had to deal with more mud and dirt than I did at the air base, they also had more fun. The Army trucks at least got out once in a while; I was confined to lugging fuel and ammunition around the same air base, week after week, month after month.
Eventually, Uncle Sam wanted to upgrade. I got auctioned off - as luck would have it - to some New Englander with more off-road ambitions than I was used to. In a way, this was actually refreshing. I really got some exercise pulling timber, driving up to Orono, launching boats, and so on.
After some time, though, I began to feel my years. The salt water at the boat launch combined with the acidic needles of the cedar under which I was parked, and rust set in. My canvas roof rotted away and I sat there in the driveway, wondering how much I had left to offer.
One day, my owner decided to give me away. I was dragged onto a tow truck piggyback style and half-dragged from the island of Georgetown onto the neighboring island of Arrowsic. Boy, was that humiliating. Just a few miles, and I wasn't even allowed to drive there!
I was, however, allowed to drive up my new owner's driveway, which was of ample length and needed plowing in the winter. Just as I thought I was going to be useful for this, an old International Scout showed up with a plow already attached.
We worked out an agreement, though; the Scout took care of the snow and I took care of the firewood. Boy, was that a lot of wood. I'm registered to carry three-quarters of a ton of cargo, and I was regularly filled with double that weight in cordwood.
At least I was until the Ford showed up. For all the wood I could carry, I've never been that maneuverable. This new Ford tractor, on the other hand, could weave its way between trees that I could never hope to clear. Thus, I once again found myself sitting idly in a driveway, covered in a tarp, and used as storage for a bunch of old gas cans.
A few years ago, all of a sudden, my owners seemed to remember that I existed. They dragged me up to the workshop, and slowly but surely I began to see improvements to my condition. I got new brake lines, a new roof, a new differential, and a new air horn to let the road know I'm coming.
I saw some steel sheet kicking around the shop, too, and heard talk of new floorboards. I don't know when I'll be roadworthy again, but my owner's son has a prom coming up in a few years and might need transportation. It'll be good to be back on the road. After 51 years of alternating labor and neglect, I most certainly deserve it.
Balthasar von Huene is brought to us by the Portland-based Telling Room, a non-profit writing center dedicated to the idea that children and young adults are natural storytellers. Every Friday this summer we'll share an essay from a student between the ages of six and 18 with a unique perspective on the world.

Manheim, Pa. -- In conjunction with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA- Wrestling Ministry), the National Wrestling Coaches Association has finalized its lineup of participants, mentors and speakers for the annual NWCA/FCA Leadership Academy Workshop in Edwardsville, Illinois at the Jon Davis Wrestling Center from May 21-22.
The first day of the workshop will feature the core NWCA CEO Leadership Academy components which will be delivered by the NWCA faculty. The second day of the workshop will feature a faith-based curriculum presented the FCA faculty.
Highlighting this year's list of presenters is former U.S. Speaker of the House Dennis "Denny" Hastert. The longest-serving Republican Speaker in history, Hastert's early career started as a high school wrestling coach in Yorkville, Illinois. Hastert wrestled and played football at Wheaton College and was one of the more prominent figures on the political landscape during his eight-year run as Speaker of the House.
Hastert's association with the NWCA has extended into its second decade and Moyer is elated he'll be involved in this year's event.
"Speaker Hastert is one of wrestling's great champions from a leadership standpoint," said Moyer. "Even while he was in the pressure cooker of Congress, Speaker Hastert has always made time for wrestling and the wrestling community and we're gracious to have him speak to our Leadership Academy."
Also joining Hastert at the Leadership Academy Workshop are Dr. Amanda Stanec, founder of Move Live Learn LLC, a consulting business in the St. Louis area; former Manchester and Northwestern head wrestling coach Tom Jarman, former Lock Haven and Messiah coach Neil Turner, recently retired Oklahoma wrestling coach Jack Spates, recently-retired ten-time Division III national champion coach Jim Miller of Wartburg and current college head coaches Heath Eslinger (Chattanooga) and Kevin Ward (Ouachita Baptist).
"This is an outstanding group of speakers and presenters," said NWCA President, Rob Koll. "Many of the new college wrestling programs popping up around the country are at private, faith-based institutions. With the help of the FCA, we feel we can give an additional focus on coaches interested in coaching in those faith-based environments where the school's principles are often more important than simply wins and losses."
Twenty coaches from all levels of wrestling will partake in this year's event. The NWCA and FCA have awarded full "scholarships," including transportation, meals, lodging and tuition to the following coaches: Pierre Bondoc (Springfield), Todd Porter (Colorado School of Mines), Dennis Papadatos (North Carolina), Frank Beasley (N.C. State), Art Canales (Marian), Frank Johnson (Warner Pacific), Matt Baker (Maryville), Mario Morgan (Maryville), Todd Allen (Cumberland U.), Chris Chionuma (Ouachita Baptist), Doug Vander Linden (Burlington H.S., Kansas), Spencer Adams (St. Catherine), John Gabordi (Trinity), Tom Erickson (Hamilton Heights H.S., Indiana), Mike DeRoehn (Lakeland), Marcus Cobbs (Truett McConnell), Chris Ortner (Wartburg) and JohnMark Bentley (Appalachian State).
"We're really excited to work with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes to help these 20 coaches get to where they need to be to not only improve upon their current position as wrestling coaches, but to instill the leadership culture and values at many of our faith-based institutions. This will serve them well as they develop and move up in the coaching ranks," said Moyer.
The group will be facilitated by Dr. Dan Gould of Michigan State University, a nationally renowned coaching development expert and the architect of the NWCA Leadership Academy.
About the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) The National Wrestling Coaches Association, established in 1928, is a non-profit organization for the advancement of all levels of the sport of wrestling with primary emphasis on developing coaches who work in academic environments. The membership embraces all people interested in amateur wrestling. The three core competencies of the NWCA are: coaching development, student-athlete welfare, and promotion of wrestling. About the Fellowship of Christian Athletes-Wrestling (FCAW) Fellowship of Christian Athletes Wrestling (FCAW) is a sports-specific ministry of FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes). FCA is the largest sports organization in the world. Founded in 1954, FCA has been challenging athletes and coaches at all levels to use the powerful medium of athletics to impact the world for Jesus Christ. The focus of FCA, as well as that of FCAW, is to serve the athletic community by equipping, empowering, and encouraging people to make a difference for Christ.

A person operating, inspecting, repairing, or maintaining the equipment shall comply with those requirements, regulations, and orders.
(b) Duties of Inspectors.— The Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration shall employ inspectors who shall—
(1) inspect aircraft, aircraft engines, propellers, and appliances designed for use in air transportation, during manufacture and when in use by an air carrier in air transportation, to enable the Administrator to decide whether the aircraft, aircraft engines, propellers, or appliances are in safe condition and maintained properly; and
(c) Unsafe Aircraft, Engines, Propellers, and Appliances.— When an inspector decides that an aircraft, aircraft engine, propeller, or appliance is not in condition for safe operation, the inspector shall notify the air carrier in the form and way prescribed by the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration.

(d) Modifications in System.—
(1) The Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration shall make modifications in the system for processing forms for major repairs or alterations to fuel tanks and fuel systems of aircraft not used to provide air transportation that are necessary to make the system more effective in serving the needs of users of the system, including officials responsible for enforcing laws related to the regulation of controlled substances (as defined in section 102 of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 (21 U.S.C. 802)). The modifications shall address at least each of the following deficiencies in, and abuses of, the existing system:

(2) The Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration shall prescribe regulations to carry out paragraph (1) of this subsection and provide a written explanation of how the regulations address each of the deficiencies and abuses described in paragraph (1). In prescribing the regulations, the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration shall consult with the Administrator of Drug Enforcement, the Commissioner of Customs, other law enforcement officials of the United States Government, representatives of State and local law enforcement officials, representatives of the general aviation aircraft industry, representatives of users of general aviation aircraft, and other interested persons.
(e) Automated Surveillance Targeting Systems.—
(1) In general.— The Administrator shall give high priority to developing and deploying a fully enhanced safety performance analysis system that includes automated surveillance to assist the Administrator in prioritizing and targeting surveillance and inspection activities of the Federal Aviation Administration.
(2) Deadlines for deployment.—
(A) Initial phase.— The initial phase of the operational deployment of the system developed under this subsection shall begin not later than December 31, 1997.
(B) Final phase.— The final phase of field deployment of the system developed under this subsection shall begin not later than December 31, 1999.

Anita Unique Bodywear was founded in Germany in 1886 and initially produced corsets and orthopedic body belts and trusses. By 1960, they were producing niche products such as nursing bras and maternity girdles. From there, they expanded into swimwear and post mastectomy bras. Today Anita is a multi-national company producing high-quality lingerie and swimwear, including bras, panties and bathing suits. The brand still has a strong market presence in specialty products like nursing bras and maternity panties and girdles.
It is sometimes difficult for women who wear plus sizes to find lingerie that is comfortable, yet supportive and attractive. But there's no need to be resigned to utilitarian styles. Anita bras are uniquely designed to support "the girls" while making you look and feel gorgeous. This established brand knows what it's doing when it comes to large sizes. Customers say they love no longer having back or shoulder pain and no longer having straps digging into their shoulders. They also appreciate having large sizes that still shape without creating a "uni-boob" look. Anita also caters to those difficult-sizing times like pregnancy and nursing. Their nursing bras make it easy to breast feed and at the same time are supportive and comfortable.Anita sports bras are in a class by themselves. There are several styles, including compression-style high impact bras, bras that combine both encapsulation and compression, racerbacks and more. Customers love the fit and support level they get from Anita sports bras.Anita continues to excel at constructing soft-cup and underwire support bras. It is unusual to find soft-cup support bras in larger sizes. Anita's sizes range to a G, H or I cup in some styles and still provide great support for women who dislike underwire bras. Anita bra styles include sports, nursing, and well-styled underwire and soft-cup bras. The brand caters to fuller-breasted women, with sizes ranging to 46E on some styles. HerRoom customers love Anita comfort bras, including those in cotton, soft-cup construction and underwire styles. From seamless t-shirt type bras to 3-part cup lace-embellished styles, Anita bras are both practical and fashionable.Anita swimwear includes one-piece, tankini and two-piece swimsuits, all sized by dress and cup size. We suggest you consult our Anita sizing chart to make sure you get a perfect fit. An important element of Anita lingerie and swimwear is the special attention to fabrics. This brand is the market leader in fabrics that are irritant-free. The environmentally sound material is free from carcinogenic dyes; allergenic and azo dyes; pesticides; formaldehyde; organic chlorine compounds; biocides and heavy metals. Good for you and good for the environment.
Anita has become known globally for their post-surgery, nursing and large-size support bras. Since their beginning over a century ago, the company has continued to find innovative ways to blend function, fit and fashion. They now serve a worldwide market through their network of 20 companies. Their production facilities are located across the globe, including Austria, Germany, the Far East, Portugal and the Czech Republic.

Peter Adams, 16
Sorry, I'm American The sun hurt my eyes as I stepped out of the small plane and into the hot, humid air. I walked down the stairs, across the tarmac, and into the airport baggage claim. As I retrieved a cart for my luggage, a cry rang out. "Luis! Luis!" Ten yards behind me, I saw a panicked woman standing over the convulsing body of a man. His spasms lasted for a short time, and then he went still.… Read More »

Democratic Sen. Pat Steadman of Denver is receiving the "Harvey Milk Champion of Change" award Wednesday. Ten such awards are given in memory of the slain gay-rights leader.
Steadman was a lead sponsor of Colorado's recently enacted civil unions law.
Steadman has been active in gay rights for much longer. In 1992, before he was a lawmaker, Steadman helped organize a lawsuit challenging Colorado's Amendment 2, an anti-gay initiative that was declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court in 1996.

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) -- Defense attorneys for the former neighborhood watch leader accused of fatally shooting Trayvon Martin are seeking to obtain a deposition from a witness who says she was on the phone with the teenager before he was killed.
George Zimmerman's lead attorney, Mark O'Mara, will present a motion to the judge on Friday asking to question the woman known as Witness 8.
Described as a friend of the 17-year-old Martin, she originally recounted the conversation she had with him to attorney Benjamin Crump in a recorded phone interview. Crump is representing Martin's parents.
O'Mara also wants a deposition from Crump regarding that interview. Crump has previously submitted an affidavit, citing a formal deposition could jeopardize attorney-client privilege.
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. Trial is set for June.

- The Print
- The Artist
Francisco de Goya (1746 – 1828) was a talented and original Spanish artist whose questioning, irreverent attitude toward life was graphically conveyed in his works. Influenced by Velázquez and Rembrandt as well as by nature, Goya was Spain's leading painter by the 1780s. As court painter to the Spanish royal family, he created realistic, penetrating portraits of his patrons. In 1792, Goya was ravaged by an illness that left him deaf, emotionally broken and embittered. He is well known for his "Black Paintings," deeply disturbing, nightmarish works that Goya made after he was ravaged by a serious illness in 1792. He is also highly regarded for "Los Caprichos", a series of etchings that were scathing commentaries on human foibles and the corruption of the establishment.

This weekend, USC will become the epicenter of college football recruiting. Saturday, USC will hold their annual spring scrimmage - the Trojan Huddle. With recruits like Devon Kennard, Rolando Jefferson, Byron Moore and Shaquelle Evans in town, Sunday will cap off the weekend with the Los Angeles NIKE Camp. USC's practices have been open to the public throughout the majority of spring, but the Trojan Huddle is the year's first event focused on giving the fans a preview of 2008. With an expected crowd of 12,000, spring football in Los Angeles is an afterthought. However, for recruits, the weekend will be both exciting an hectic. UCLA will hold their official junior day event Saturday, which will force some players to brave traffic in route to both campuses. Still, USC should expect no less than 20 five and four-star players to attend Saturday's scrimmage. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Why did Mike Williams state that Harmony and Goshen would not be required to redistrict this year since they will be asked to do so in three years, and yet the board demands that Arbor Ridge and Shelburne Oaks redistrict even though we redistricted three years ago?

Where will the Irish voices come from this fall?
Bill Beck
Side Lines
Notre Dame didn't need any more big personalities during its storied 2012 season. The Irish had plenty, thank you.
They're not sure they need them now, though.
Manti Te'o evolved as the unquestioned face of the university and dominated in the role of in-game spiritual leader.
Kapron Lewis-Moore stood strong as the stoic mentor of all across the lines of offense and defense.
Tyler Eifert was loud and bold with his athleticism and big-play skills.
Theo Riddick's unselfishness spoke volumes.
They were the big voices on and off the field.
So as ND looks to bridge the gap left by last January's BCS Championship demolition, the holes to fill in Xs and Os are clear, but what Brian Kelly and his staff are waiting to see — in games — are leaders.
The Irish say they have them — they've been there all along. They just may not have been easily heard, let alone seen.
Matthias Farley and Bennett Jackson believe they're ready to rattle eardrums in earnest.
"I've got to be vocal," said Jackson, who along with T.J. Jones and Zack Martin were named Irish tri-captains. "But we have a pretty vocal defense with Matthias, Carlo (Calabrese), (Dan) Fox, the whole D-line. I think we have a great trust level. We know how one another plays, we know our strengths and weaknesses."
"I think Bennett is everything that we ask our players to be," said Kerry Cooks, the team's co-defensive coordinator. "For one, he leads by example the right way off the field and on the field. He's been a great example for what it takes to start off as a young guy and continue to develop and continue to strive. He's put himself in a position now to lead this team and lead this group and he's very deserving of that captainship."
"Every year you have to put the team back together and the team is going to take on a different persona. We had maybe not a large exodus of personnel depart, but a major void in leadership and some real stalwart players," said defensive coordinator Bob Diaco. "Through the course of camp we have done that and the players have responded to that. We have great energy over there, really solid leadership and everybody really likes and cares about each other a bunch so that part has been accomplished."
Defensively, that energy begins with Farley at safety and Jackson at corner.
Louis Nix, ND's latest media darling, anchors a talented defensive line and Calabrese, Dan Fox and Prince Shembo are linebacking fixtures.
Those are givens, though not necessarily the go-to forces for the team.
With the revolving door of players who will be thrown into the fire — remember, Kelly says this Irish will have a lot of players that are going to have to play significant roles — a traffic cop or two are needed to keep the parade moving smoothly.
Cooks, who coaches the cornerbacks, thinks Farley, poised and calm soul that he appears to be, is a great fit.
"He wouldn't have said two words a year ago, but he didn't have to," Cooks said. "In everything that he does, you could see the growth and the confidence and the belief in himself that he can lead this defense."
"I think it started last spring,'' safeties coach Bob Elliott said of Farley. "He makes a lot of calls ... you can hear him all over field which is what you need. If you're not confident you're making the right decisions, it's hard to be vocal.
"When Matthias Farley speaks, they listen."
Last year's Irish fed off Te'o and his bold presence. It changes every fall for every team and few programs embrace the same characteristics year-in, year-out.
With one notable exception, perhaps.
In its dominant national championship game run, all the bold figures in the world couldn't help the Irish against an Alabama machine which forged its might from the sum many great parts — not big and bold personalities.
Notre Dame doesn't need big personalties. It needs strong, steady voices.
Farley said he'd almost prefer a savvy, low-key approach as the season takes shape.
"I think that is a good thing honestly," Farley said. "When you have a whole team that has a similar mindset you do not have to say a lot and there is a lot of trust there between everybody of just knowing what the expectations are and knowing that everyone is going to give everything that they have to reach that and nothing has to be said at all.
"I think that it is a very positive thing for our team."
"From my perspective when you lose guys like Manti and Kapron, guys that were so dominant and vocal, you have no other choice but to improve," Cooks said. "We don't have that guy right now, that superstar so to speak, or that vocal leader. We have very experienced guys and from what we're seeing right now they're a tight-knit group and the expectation is for everybody to be on the same page and play as one. If you do that, you have a great chance to play very good defense."
Whether that positive framework and new scenery of leadership translates into success on Saturdays — beginning this week with Temple — is one of many burning Irish questions.
The rhetoric always sounds good. The rhetoric sounded good in 2012 and in other years.
Coaches trust the players. Players trust in each other.
Players change. Roles change.
Change doesn't have to be good or bad — it's inevitable.
And in Notre Dame's case, it needs to be significant.

Next to being Neil Young, batting clean-up for the Boston Red Sox, or centering the Toronto Maple Leafs first line, journalism is the best job in the world. The work informs people, holds decision-makers accountable, and on occasion, evokes real change. It also introduces you to people from all walks of life, opens the mind to numerous topics, and provides a creative outlet. But despite all that good stuff, there are times when you need, and want, a break from the serious issues and constant deadlines. Those are the moments when you want to tell stories about different things, like how the neighbours react if you put chicken dung on the vegetable garden. Hence, this blog. Now, the intent is not to be a manure spreader or to bash the people next door. The goal isnt landscape-leveling political commentary or hard-hitting opinions on current affairs either. If people want that, they can read some of The Telegram columnists or seek out the countless bloggers who focus on that stuff. The aim of this glob...I mean blog... is to provide a diversion from the hectic pace of life. Readers will find an array of topics discussed. Fodder will come from my weird and varied interests as well as the little goals Im always setting for myself. That means the material will range from my on-going struggle to play Van Halens Eruption on guitar to recipes gone awry to a possible pledge to do all the housework for a month. (Just joking, Dear.) I also hope to put up other items web links, audio, videos, photos that catch my eye. Well, at least the ones that are clean enough to post. Hopefully youll enjoy (or at least check-in to waste a few minutes during work hours). Hopefully youll be sidetracked.
Onward through the blog

Heather Corinna replies:
My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year and 9 months. From the very beginning, I made it extremely clear that I was not ready for sex and not going to be for a long time, if not until marriage. He said he respected it, and we agreed not to pressure one another until we were completely comfortable with decisions we had both made as a couple. About 8 months into our relationship, we discussed our sexual boundaries and agreed that we were comfortable with dry humping. Kissing and some fondling was all that we had experienced before. Everything with that was fine, and I began to give him hand jobs about 3 months later, but it was very rare. He had no issues with that either, except for the fact that he wanted to return a similar amount of pleasure to me, but I explained I wasn't ready for that, and he claimed it was fine. In the summer we went to the beach, and it was the first time I'd been around him in that little of clothing, so I was already nervous. He didn't say anything reassuring, but he was all over me the entire time. By the end of the day, I felt used and disrespected since he had tried to pull my bottoms down a little while standing behind me, but I was not expecting it. That turned into our first major fight, and I eventually broke up with him because of it. (continued below)
(Your question, continued) We continued to talk as "friends", and I discussed the situation with his mom since he had told his parents what was going on. She explained that we needed to stop spending so much time alone and putting ourselves in such tempting situations, so my boyfriend and I talked more and more...and chose to try again, but without as much sexual activity being involved. That worked for a while up until he tried to finger me one day while we were kissing on his floor.
I told him no, and to stop, and he just said "No?" and kept trying. As I'm sure you could assume, that was a definite no-no with me, and we broke up...again. I'm also sure you're thinking I'm an idiot for believing him and trying again, but I love him and didn't want to completely lose my trust and faith in our relationship.
Fast forward from that time, which was August, and go to November. The time in between then was the best we had had together so far, and I had finally gained my trust in him back and I chose to allow him to finger me outside of clothing. That went on for about a month, and all was dandy. Then, once again, while we were close on the couch, he started kissing my stomach and went lower than I wanted, and he knew I wanted. Immediately he apologized and we talked, but it didn't really make me feel better.
After that he decided that we just needed to take a big step back, and try our best not to do anything past hugging and kissing. I could tell he knew and wanted to get a hold of his sexual urges and control issues, so I stuck with him and we did nothing past kissing from early November up until last week. On Thursday while we were at my house and on the couch, we were kissing and got really wrapped up in it. He slowly got into dry humping, and even though I knew I should've stopped him, I didn't. It gets frustrating and I get so emotional over the whole situation since I can no longer feel what I did sexually with him at one time, but I feel that our love and the rest of what we have together is more important anyway, so I try to ignore that fact most of the time. After that lasted maybe 10 seconds on Thursday, he jumped back and said "I shouldn't have done that, and I am sorry. I lost control, again. I don't know why I do this every time, and I'm sorry." Then he would barely look at me and sat on the opposite end of the room. He eventually came back over to me and we just hugged and cried, and said we'd talk more later since he had to go home.
Yesterday we talked for the first time about it, and he basically said he still doesn't understand what to do, especially because he had tried to help by having boundaries, but it doesn't work the way we want, think, and hope for it to. We haven't talked much in between, so I suppose I'll have to wait until later to know more. I'd like to know what you think of the entire situation, specifically his behavior. I want to make it clear that despite the sexual problems, every minute of our entire relationship has been wonderful. He's a great guy, and has a great family. He listens to me, supports me, encourages me, and does everything else a boyfriend should do...other than stick to our agreements about sexual activity. I know he's trying, and he doesn't want to intentionally hurt me, but I can't keep trying to forgive and move on if it won't do any good or things won't change. It may sound crazy to say, but he respects me in every other way, but that has lead me to feel used and disrespected, and definitely uncomfortable many times. I'm not willing to give up what I want (which is to keep my virginity) in order to save our relationship, especially since even if I did decide to have sex with him, I seriously doubt it would do anything other than jeopardize what we have now even more. However, I am still in love with him, love everything else about our relationship, and want so much for it all to somehow work out.
With all of that said, I'd also like to hear your thoughts on another, somewhat new issue I've been experiencing. I've discovered that nearly three months ago, I am no longer able to masturbate and enjoy it, or think a lot about anything sexual that would arouse me. Instead of it being a pleasurable feeling that satisfies me when I'm alone and unable to get what I want from my boyfriend, it has become a moment of sadness and anger. If I do follow through with masturbating, I cry and feel devastated by the end of it. When I'm with him in person, I want to touch him, but at the same time...I'd rather just push him off of me so I don't have to worry about feeling that way, or getting too aroused. I know a huge part of it is emotional - not being able to feel what I did at one time with him, and not even being able to with myself. I long for the feeling of comfort, trust, and the strong bond that used to be associated with everything we did. Though, I know that in order to try to help him and us, we can't do what we used to sexually. I haven't told him about this yet. I've wanted to, but it hasn't seemed to be the right time, if one even exists. I don't know if he'd be able to understand what I'm going through, and I don't know exactly how to share this with him. I'm not shy about talking about masturbation with him as I have before, but this is different. I just thought it would go away, or that maybe I was being too emotional. It just seems to keep getting worse though, and I don't fully understand any of it. I want to be able to change it, us to stay together, etc...but I'm just confused on what to do from here. If you have any advice, please respond as soon as possible. I appreciate your time and consideration. Thank you. =)
Phew. Okay.
This is a lot to take in, but I'll tell you right off the bat that the biggest impression I was left with was that it sounds to me like the two of you would likely be better just being friends. There's nothing secondary about a good friendship: good friendships are just as valuable -- and sometimes more so -- than good romantic/sexual relationships. And you seem to keep making clear that your friendship is what's so great with the two of you: it's your romantic/sexual relationship that is not any good, and also really isn't wanted.
It may be that eventually, if you both do have romantic and sexual feelings for one another, and he works out some of these issues, that you can have a romantic and/or sexual relationship, but I think it's abundantly clear that that isn't something he can handle at all right now, and when it comes to the sexual relationship, it isn't even something you really want. As well, at this point, you may want any of that even less -- including even with your own masturbation, as you've brought up -- than before because so much of his sexual behavior has been so predatory. When sex is or feels like an attack more times than not, any person is likely to feel less and less desire. I won't pussyfoot around, either: some of what you're describing is or is really flirting with sexual assault on your boyfriend's part. So, this is really serious business, and that's why you're feeling sexually shellshocked and having those times where you feel so low.
Let me point out to you a few really dysfunctional dynamics I'm seeing in the romance/sexual aspect of your relationship so that you can see where I'm coming from in drawing that conclusion, okay?
I also hear a lot of self-blaming in here. Wearing a bathing suit at the beach, being alone with someone you have been close to for nearly two years, having some kinds of sex you DO want (while being clear about your limits): none of these kinds of things justify his behavior, nor are they causes of how he is behaving. he knows your limits, it sounds like you articulate them more clearly and constantly than a lot of people your age do, and his knowledge and understanding of those limits should be all he, or anyone else, needs, to stick by them. You also, by saying okay to some kinds of sex you have wanted, which he has also wanted, are not encouraging him to push further. It's HIS responsibility, if he just can't handle sexual situations at all, to own his own stuff and set a limit for HIMself that he can't have a sexual relationship at all if he can't deal with your boundaries. he's supposed to be your partner, not your kid or your psychiatric patient.
If your boyfriend earnestly has impulse control problems -- either in general, or just with sex -- then you're not going to be able to fix that for him. I'm guessing you're not an expert in behavior modification or compulsive behavior. You might be able to help him -- if you really wanted to, and only AFTER he really helped himself -- but you'd both need a therapist to work with him, alone, and then let you both know what those things are you can do. I can assure you it's not likely to be about not being alone together, either: you weren't alone at the beach, after all, and you should be able to be safely alone with someone that close to you without them ever seeing every bit of alone-time as a sexual opportunity. If it IS that bad that he can't be trusted to be alone with you, anywhere, though, then he absolutely needs professional help.
It's also really unfortunate that it sounds like the only thing his parents talked about was you both needing to just avoid being alone where you might be sexually intimate. Imagine how much more productive and valuable it might have been if his parents really talked to him about his behavior, about how even if you were the last two people stranded on an island, your boundaries need to be respected. I don't know if what his mother said to you was indicative of his families' general attitudes about sex, but if he was reared with the idea that sex is some uncontrollable, animalistic urge that everyone (or his female partners) need to police in order for it to be healthy, that would obviously influence how he's been behaving, and how he thinks about sex. Sexual temptations -- though being at the beach in a swimsuit like everyone else really is a non-issue -- don't "tempt" people into doing something to a partner that partner has made clear they do not want.
Lastly, I want to reiterate what I said about sex-as-bargaining. You say here that you're not willing to have sex to save your relationship, and that's a very good thing. Not just because that would be sex that isn't even about you from a sexual standpoint, and also not about any kind of real intimacy, but because sex can't save relationships in the first place. You walked into this relationship making clear that you were not ready for sex and wanted to hold off on it: any partner who can walk into a relationship with those limits set out so clearly is responsible for having the maturity to make a choice about if that's also what they want. If it's not, they're responsible for not pursuing that relationship. Everyone gets to have limits (I'm sure your boyfriend has some too: would he really be okay with you just coming up behind him and sticking your fingers in his anus?), and everyone's partners should respect them: that's an expectation you should have of all partners, and anyone who can't meet that expectation? You walk away from that person. Really.
I think that if you take some real time for yourself for a bit -- what I'd suggest is a couple weeks or more where you two really don't even talk, and after that, you can be sure you feel okay about a friendship -- and switch this back to a friendship, either for a while, or permanently, you're going to feel a lot better. That time should also allow you so basically get your own sexuality back: it sounds like it feels pretty hijacked at this point, which isn't at all surprising, nor does it mean something is wrong with you. Of course, if even as friends, he can't control himself when it comes to YOUR body, then I have to say, he's just not safe or healthy for you to be around, and you just need to get away and stay away from this guy, no matter how much you love him and wish he were different in this regard.
I also think he could really benefit from having some time apart (and if he has an earnest sexual impulse control problem, a professional would make clear that it's just not healthy for him or anyone else to be in any kind of sexual relationship yet). You've broken up a lot, but you keep coming back, which has got to make it a bit more difficult to understand that this is a really big deal, and absolutely unacceptable. I get why you've done that: it's very tough when you love someone and everything else is good to know how to deal with one aspect that is really NOT at all good. With sexual issues like this, especially since this is your first partner, you may also be having a tougher time due to a lack of perspective. This really isn't healthy sexual behavior or something that's just to be expected in these kinds of relationships. Your boyfriend may not know that, either. But he needs to commit to changing his behavior by himself and for himself, as well as for the well-being of everyone else around him. If he's really committing to that, HE is going to be the one saying you need some time apart -- you shouldn't even have to be the only one initiating that. And if he really is troubled in this respect, and really is as upset as he's voiced he is to you, if he has a real problem, he's going to suffer all by himself if he doesn't go get some real help, which will likely include him being told that he needs to work on this AWAY from any sexual relationships. He also needs other supports in this stuff, so he can use this time to talk to his friends and his support system, too. You're not the right support system for someone who needs support in how they're victimizing you: that's just really messed up.
I know this isn't a nice answer, but this isn't a nice situation, to say the least. And I just don't think at this point in time that, however great this guy is in other respects, he's someone safe for you to be around right now. So, what I'd suggest is that you perhaps share this response with him (you could print it out), and then make clear you are taking a couple weeks (or more) to yourself. No phone calls, no emails, no nothing. Take care of yourself: hang out with your friends, and you might even want to look into some support and counseling about all of this -- and the residual effects of those attacks -- for yourself. Give yourself some time to heal, deal and also reclaim your own sexuality for yourself. Make clear to your boyfriend that you need that time and only after that time will YOU bring a platonic friendship to the table if, after taking that time, you think that's something you want. I'd also make clear that you expect him to do a lot of thinking, and that if he strongly feels he does have an impulse control problem, that he seeks out real help. If he decides he does NOT really have that problem, then make clear that no matter what kind of relationship you may end up having again, you expect this stuff to NEVER be a problem again. No matter what conclusions he comes to about himself, he needs to start taking real responsibility for himself. If he's as great a guy as you say, he'll support you in all of this and will also want to do whatever he needs to in order to learn a healthier approach to sex, and assure there is just no way he ever does some of this stuff to you or anyone else again.
I'm going to leave you with a few additional links, including our piece on how men can prevent rape. I think there are some aspects of that article both you and your boyfriend could benefit from and which might be some of the lightbulbs both of you need. Hopefully this answer and that additional material will be of help to you. My hope is more about YOU doing what you need to to be sure you're okay. That isn't to say I hope this relationship doesn't work out, but rather, that the relationship working out should be a very secondary concern -- for me AND for you -- to your personal safety and your emotional and sexual well-being.

The Staffroom is located on the ground floor of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and is a long, panelled room with mismatched, dark wooden chairs. There is a wardrobe inside it which was once home to a Boggart before the 1993 Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Remus Lupin, taught his third year class how to vanquish it.
The entrance to this room is guarded by two stone Gargoyles that can talk. These gargoyles were partially destroyed during the Battle of Hogwarts on 2 May, 1998.
Seventeenth/eighteenth century
Sometime in the late seventeenth or eighteenth century, Professor Cuthbert Binns sat in front of the staffroom fire and fell asleep. He died during his sleep and rose as a ghost, leaving his body behind but continuing with his History of Magic classes as usual.
1991–1992 school year
In 1991, Harry Potter went to the staffroom looking for Professor Snape to get his copy of Quidditch Through the Ages back and saw Argus Filch bandaging up Snape's leg from being bitten by Fluffy. Later that year, in 1992, Hermione was stationed outside the staffroom to keep an eye on Snape, but when he came out asking what she was doing there her excuse was that she was waiting for Professor Flitwick. Snape went and got him for her, afterwards she lost track of where Snape went.
1992-1993 school year
The night that Ginny was taken into the Chamber of Secrets, Professor Lockhart had fallen asleep in the staffroom.
1993–1994 school year
In 1993, Professor Lupin held the Third years first Defence Against the Dark Arts class in the staffroom. There was a boggart that had taken up residence in an old cupboard, and he wanted to teach the students how to vanquish them.
1994–1995 school year
In 1995, Dobby overheard Professor McGonagall and Professor Moody in the staffroom discussing the second task of the Triwizard Tournament, which gave Dobby the idea to give Harry gillyweed.
1995-1996 school year
In 1996, Harry brought an injured Hedwig to the staffroom hoping to find Professor Grubbly-Plank thinking that she might be able to help Hedwig.
Behind the scenes
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets extras, the menu shows a room which may indicate the Staff Room. There is a table with several parchments, a door to Lockhart's class and a fireplace for the Floo Network. The most notable thing is that on the table, there is a picture of Argus Filch that moves. It can also do certain things. If you access Activities and then deactivate it, Filch appears with Mrs. Norris. If the same is repeated with Behind the Scenes, Filch appears with a lantern. And if you access the last parchment, Extras, Filch disappears.

Guns and Violent Crime
Recorded: Tuesday, September 21, 1999
With the recent school massacre in Littleton, Colorado; the shootings of Jewish children in Los Angeles; and rampant drive-by shootings and other atrocities, what can and should be done to protect the innocent against violence in American society? Can government protect the citizenry against gun-related violence? What is the record of individual self-defense against violence in Britain and the U.S.? In this very timely Independent Policy Forum, acclaimed historian Joyce Lee Malcolm and civil rights attorney Don Kates will examine gun laws, violence, and rights.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Boehner criticized a bipartisan Senate immigration bill, saying it is weak on border security. Boehner spoke on the same day the House Judiciary Committee was taking up a tough enforcement-focused measure that Democrats and immigrant groups are protesting loudly.
Both the House and Senate are working to overhaul the nation's immigration laws. Senate Democratic leaders hope to pass a bill by July 4. The House is moving more slowly.

The unbelievable Nike Swim Reflex II Goggles are just right for some recreational swimming.
they leak
In order to keep them from leaking, I have to tighten the strap to the point where after about 45 minutes its painful to keep on. If I loosen strap to be at a comfortable level of tension, then they leak. Will be returning them. That said, they appear well made so if you have the right intra-ocular distance, would probably be a nice set of goggles...

Purchased 2 pair a year ago and they worked fine even with my Swimp3. Got two more as replacements and both leaked using the Swimp3 and without. I don't get it. Really enjoyed the first two pair. Last two...not so much. I know I lost 35lbs in this time frame. Either the weight loss changed the fit or Nike did.

Corn Rootworm Management in Field Corn
Every effort has been made to provide correct, complete, and up-to-date pesticide recommendations. Nevertheless, changes in pesticide regulations occur constantly, and human errors are still possible. These recommendations are not a substitute for pesticide labeling. Please read the label before applying any pesticide.
- Northern Corn Rootworm is green.
- Western Corn Rootworm is yellow with distinct black stripes.
- The female Western is slightly larger and more distinctly striped.
- Eggs are laid in the previous season and begin attacking corn as larvae in June the following season.
- Eggs are laid in corn fields, so corn must be following corn for a threat to exist.
- Damage can result in physiological yield loss or harvest loss as a result of lodging.
- Adults begin emerging in late July and feed on the silks.
- Although rare, heavy silk feeding by the adults can interfere with pollination.
- If some silk clipping does occur, as long as there is 1/2 in. of silk showing pollination may occur.
- Late planted fields (relative to other area fields) are at a possible higher risk for damage.
|Corn Rootworm Larva 1/2"
|Western Corn Rootworm 5/16"
|Northern Corn Rootworm 1/4"
- All corn fields that will be planted to corn the following year should be scouted for egg-laying adults from late July until frost. Count beetles per plant and follow the sequential sampling plan shown below. Remember that each Northern counts as 0.5, while each Western counts as 1.0.
- Sample weekly until you have three consecutive below-threshold samples, or you have above threshold numbers.
- If you choose not to scout, remember that the following fields are considered high risk for damage next year:
Corn planted late this year, especially if it will be planted early next year.
Fields that seem to have high numbers, but no exact count was taken.
Fields with evidence of silk clipping and pollination interference.
N=Not at Threshold, T=Threshold reached, RT=Running Total for all Samples
Sample until a decision is reached (N or T).
Use of the sequential sampling plan will indicate the presence of an economic threshold.
Management Alternatives
- Crop Rotation is the best way to control corn rootworm.
- Chemical control is sometimes necessary when economic populations occur in a field that cannot be rotated out of corn. Consult the current Cornell recommendations for corn rootworm larval control.
- Evaluate your harvest last season. Were there lodged fields?
- Review your crop plan for the previous and coming year to ascertain potential problem fields.
- Consider a plan to scout your fileds during egg-laying time to determine the need for rootworm management in 1996.
