Christophe Honoré has cranked out a series of critical favorites over the last few years, garnering enough praise to place him among the giants of contemporary French cinema. Popularity often gives artists room to play around, a freedom reflected in the relative smallness of his latest feature, "Man at Bath" ("Homme Au Bain"). Honoré's minimalist portrait of two gay lovers spending time apart should go down as a footnote to his more ambitious works, but functions competently enough on the level of a focused character study.
At a fleeting 72 minutes, "Man at Bath" could lose a few of its many sex scenes and become a short film. The pacing is economical, to say the least: An opening bit shows the couple's relationship on the rocks, with filmmaker Omar (Omar Ben Sellem) gearing up for a business trip to New York, while Emmanuel (porn star Fracois Sagat) looks at him with resentment. Before Omar steals out the door, his lover pounces on him for a forced quickie. It's a sudden, vulgar moment that establishes immediate tension in the air -- the movie's dominant tone.
Filmed with a shaky cam style and predominantly built around a series of sexual encounters, "Man at Bath" constantly shifts between Emmanuel's aimless, philandering lifestyle in the Parisian suburb Gennevilliers and Omar's trip to New York, which is seen exclusively through the lens of his camcorder. Although both men invest their energies in forgetting about the other, and neither gets a monologue to explain their feelings, leaving much of their turmoil up for interpretation. They express more through sexuality than dialogue. That element obviously played a part in the decision to cast Sagat, who spends most of the movie in various stages of undress.
Sagat's goods are on constant display: He picks up strangers and friends alike, poses nude for a radical art collector in his building, and shows off his muscular rump to a female companion. Looking very much like the model he's known to be, the actor suits Honoré's goal of capturing the essence of the male physique.
"I wanted above all to film bodies," the director explains in press notes for the film. In doing so, he suggests that Emmanuel feels trapped by his extreme masculine figure. "You're bad art," someone tells him. "You're kitsch." (Many will fire off the same complaint against "Man at Bath.") Taking cues from a 19th century painting by Gustave Caillebotte, which contains the back of a nude man bathing, Honoré gives Sagat the opportunity to use his physicality in the service of narrative. In Bruce LaBruce's new gay genre experiment "L.A. Zombie," Sagat mostly serves as a prop, the very same kitsch appeal noted in "Man at Bath." Honoré's movie actually forces Sagat to deliver a substantive performance, and it's the best part of this otherwise middling experience.
The rest amounts to little more than an extended vignette in two parts. Omar's POV of city streets, as he wanders from a talk at the School of Visual Arts to another in Lincoln Center and finally to his own risky liaison, has a mesmerizing effect -- but it relegates the actual character to the sidelines. Accompanied by his actress (Chiara Mastroianni, actually traveling to promote Honoré's "Making Plans for Lena," which opens in New York on August 20), his camera captures offhand chatter rather than exposition.
The meandering style and setting recalls the production approach of Steven Soderbergh's "The Girlfriend Experience," which used non-professional actors and similarly lingered on the edge between fiction and documentary. "Man at Bath" also bears a similarity to "Girlfriend" in that it provides Honoré with the opportunity for a digression from larger projects and the greater storytelling challenges therein. Unlike his last two outings, "Making Plans for Lena" (Non ma fille, tu n'iras pas danser) or "The Beautiful Person" (La belle personne), "Man at Bath" has no precise turning point or major revelatory moments. Instead, Honoré adopts a lyrical sensibility.
The chief appeal lies with his ability to let viewers inhabit the perspectives of his protagonists -- literally, in the case of Omar. Honoré's own handheld camera work enhances the idea that the New York half of the movie is designed as a diary film, particularly since it includes winking cameos by the likes of IFC Films exec Ryan Werner, indie publicist Susan Norget and Film Society of Lincoln Center program director Richard Peña. The non-fiction components of "Man at Bath" don't turn the movie into anything more than a creative squiggle, but it's evidently one with personal resonance.

Fall Orientation
Published in Inside - Volume III, No. 2
New students filled the Horace Mann auditorium early on September 2 for the Orientation welcome session. President Arthur Levine was the first to greet the students, giving them an overview of the history of the College, the current student population, and the role that TC is playing now locally, nationally, and internationally in the field of education.
Dean Karen Zumwalt noted that 53 percent of the students at TC are pursuing a master's degree, 73 percent are female, 23 percent are people of color, and 12 percent are from other countries. The average age is 34.2 years old. She also advised the students that, "One factor counts in terms of what you get out of TC. That factor is you."
Associate Dean William Baldwin told students to meet with their advisors and then, "Go home!" Rather than waiting on line to register for their classes, he said that students can receive a pin number and register by touch-tone phone.
As a welcoming gesture, Associate Dean Baldwin and Susanne Nanka-Bruce, director of the Office of Student Life, gave out gifts to those who met unusual qualifications, such as the student with the longest commute or the youngest student.previous page

The Harrier jet has improved its safety rating in recent years. But it was once called the most dangerous airplane in the United States military.
The Harrier safety rating was so poor that two Los Angeles Times newspaper reporters wrote a series of stories about the jet. Those stories won a 2003 Pulitizer Prize. (See link below)
According to the Los Angeles Times in 2002, 45 marines had died in 143 non-combat crashes since the Marine Corps had started using the jets in the early 70s. Reports showed nearly a third of the fleet had been lost to crashes over three decades.
In the early 2000s, the Harrier safety record seemed to stabilize. But as the articles pointed out, several crashes in 2001, including two here in North Carolina, raised concerns once again.
Some of the issues cited over the years included the wing flaps and engine trouble. According to the Los Angeles Times articles, the Marine Corps has spent millions in corrective measures and some of the planes probably cost close to $50 million now, as opposed to the sticker price
in the mid-$20 million range.
Accidents in recent years involving Cherry Point Harriers include a 2005 crash in Pamlico County. In July 2005, a Cherry Point Harrier crashed in Florida. And in 2006, a Cherry Point Harrier ran off a runway in New York. All pilots survived.

Two families come together in a traffic accident during a snowstorm. Nothing terribly unusual there, except that a woman has purposely thrown herself under a car to protect a stranger. It quickly becomes clear that the families--a poor, single black mother with her 11-year-old daughter and a white, Irish Catholic, former Boston mayor with a biological son and two adopted black college-aged sons whose much-loved wife died over 20 years ago--have a connection. The award-winning Patchett (Bel Canto ) here presents an engrossing and enjoyable novel. While there are a few unexpected turns, the reader very quickly figures out where the plot is headed, but that does not detract from the pleasure of reading. The somewhat unusual premise is presented very matter-of-factly; this is not a story about race but about family and the depths of parents' love of their children, whether biological, adopted, given away, or otherwise acquired, and of each other. Recommended for most collections. [See Prepub Alert, LJ 6/15/07.]--Sarah Conrad Weisman, Corning Community Coll. Lib., NY[Page 84]. Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.

Novelists can no longer take it as an insult when people say their novels are like good television, because the finest American television is better written than most novels. Ann Patchett's new one has the texture, the pace and the fairy tale elegance of a half dozen novels she might have read and loved growing up, but the magic and the finesse of Run is really much closer to that of Six Feet Under or ER or The Sopranos , and that is good news for everybody, not least her readers.
Bernadette and Bernard Doyle were a Boston couple who wanted to have a big lively family. They had one boy, Sullivan, and then adopted two black kids, Teddy and Tip. Mr. Doyle is a former mayor of Boston and he continues his interest in politics, hoping his boys will shape up one day for elected office, though none of them seems especially keen. Bernadette dies when the adopted kids are just four, and much of the book offers a placid requiem to her memory in particular and to the force of motherhood in lives generally. An old statue from Bernadette's side of the family seems to convey miracles, and there will be more than one before this gracious book is done.
One night, during a heavy snowfall, Teddy and Tip accompany their father to a lecture given by Jessie Jackson at the Kennedy Centre. Tip is preoccupied with studying fish, so he feels more than a little coerced by his father. After the lecture they get into an argument and Tip walks backwards in the road. A car appears out of nowhere and so does a woman called Tennessee, who pushes Tip out of the car's path and is herself struck. Thus, a woman is taken to hospital and her daughter, Kenya, is left in the company of the Doyles. Relationships begin both to emerge and unravel, disclosing secrets, hopes, fears.
Run is a novel with timeless concerns at its heart--class and belonging, parenthood and love--and if it wears that heart on its sleeve, then it does so with confidence. And so it should: the book is lovely to read and is satisfyingly bold in its attempt to say something patient and true about family. Patchett knows how to wear big human concerns very lightly, and that is a continuing bonus for those who found a great deal to admire in her previous work, especially the ultra-lauded Bel Canto . Yet one should not mistake that lightness for anything cosmetic: Run is a book that sets out inventively to contend with the temper of our times, and by the end we feel we really know the Doyle family in all its intensity and with all its surprises.
Andrew O'Hagan's novel Be Near Me has just been published by Harcourt.[Page 166]. Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.

CLEVELAND -- As the long-term effects of sports-related collisions and brain trauma continue to cause concern, Cleveland Clinic is teaming with the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) to assess and improve the brain health and overall well-being of retired professional football players.
The NFLPA program, called "The Trust," will offer physical and neurological evaluations to former players, followed by a comprehensive plan to relieve symptoms, restore function, improve cognitive skills, and slow neurodegeneration for those who have sustained recurrent head trauma.
The Cleveland Clinic will host players at three sites – on its main campus in Cleveland, at Cleveland Clinic Florida in Weston, Fla. and at the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas.
Players can also choose to visit the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N.C. or Tulane University in New Orleans.
"Athletic injuries and sports-related brain trauma have become part of the public consciousness and are being viewed as legitimate public health problems," says Jay Alberts, Ph.D., director of the Cleveland Clinic Concussion Center. "Former NFL players, in particular, are at increased risk for neurological disease. The goal of this program is to identify potential problems -- physical, neurological or cognitive -- earlier, which may lead to earlier interventions and treatments."
Players who choose to take part in the program will begin with a comprehensive medical history and exam that will include the player's injury history, functional symptoms and personal concerns. The program will include a brain scan with a functional MRI, cognitive evaluations, psychological interviews, and balance assessments, in addition to cardiovascular evaluations, a prostate screening, nutrition counseling, and life skills consultation.
"The cumulative effect of repeated collisions and brain trauma are now recognized as major factors in declining health -- both mental and physical -- among retired athletes who participated in contact sports," says Charles Bernic, M.D., associate medical director at the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health. "These injuries can have lifelong ramifications, manifesting as cognitive impairment, decreased motor functioning, incessant pain, and psychological/behavioral issues, such as irritability, impaired insight and impulse control, paranoia, violent outbursts, and even suicide. By taking a proactive approach, this program is helping retired players be assessed, diagnosed and treated before symptoms arise."
After their visits, players will be given personalized short-term and long-term treatment plans customized to meet their specific needs. The plan will include ongoing communication between the player and his healthcare team, whether by telephone, computer, video conferencing or letters, based on the patient's preference.
"If problems arise, we can bring them in before they become too serious," Alberts says. "Each player will leave here with their own neurological passport that outlines exactly where they are cognitively and neurologically. If changes occur after they go home, we can intervene in a systematic and strategic way."
In addition to "The Trust," Cleveland Clinic has been at the forefront of concussion treatment and research, developing the Cleveland Clinic Concussion Assessment System (C3), an iPad app offers a global assessment of concussion symptoms, including a symptoms checklist, cognitive/memory testing, reaction time testing, and vestibular/balance testing. Cleveland Clinic researchers are also developing an intelligent mouthguard and a blood test to assess concussions; studying designs for better youth football helmets in association with NFL charities; and working with the Nevada Athletic Commission on a landmark study with professional fighters to determine whether MRIs of the brain can detect subtle changes that correlate with impaired thinking and functioning.
The Cleveland Clinic Concussion Center offers concussion evaluations and management through a collaborative team effort made up of primary care sports medicine physicians, neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, certified athletic trainers, vestibular therapists, radiologists, neuro-ophthalmologists, and researchers, all dedicated to patient recovery. NFLPA members interested in more information from Cleveland Clinic can call 216-445-9815.
NFLPA members can learn more about The Trust at www.playerstrust.com or by calling (202) 212-6180 or 1-866-725-0063.

How can I turn my girlfriend into an X rated star?
How can I turn my girlfriend into an X rated star?
–, Wednesday, April, 06, 2011, (7:15am)
Dear Bossy: I desperately need your advice.
I am a professional 25 year year old man with a satisfying career, mortgage and lovely girlfriend who I have been with for almost a year. This is my first and only girlfriend so I can't really compare her to all the other 1-3 month casual flings i've had with other women. She is smart, attractive, well liked by my family etc. But the sex is soooo boring. I have been with lots of girls with most of them being more exciting sexually. She was a virgin so her experience and skills are very small.
How do I turn this good girl in to a porn star?
Bossy says: What is it with young blokes and porn? There's something incredibly wrong - and a bit sad - about young men who expect and want their girlfriends to act like porn stars.
Here's a tip buddy. She's not a porn star. She's an ordinary, inexperienced woman. Maybe she doesn't want to ply herself into 12 different positions in a quarter hour every time you have sex. Maybe she doesn't want to pretend to love you "finishing" in her face. Maybe she just wants to have sex with you and feel loved and attractive.
I expect I am being unfair. If you had not mentioned turning her into a porn star I would have taken your question at face value. I would have said it was fine to tell a partner what you like in bed. I would have said you need to let her know what you want. You need to guide her and ask her whether she's up for doing other things that turn you on.
Most women are not distressed at hearing there are new ways to please their partner. It can be a turn on for them too. If you are prepared to honestly and positively tell her what you want and talk about way of experimenting, she may well approach the task with relish.
However the problem is when young men think a woman needs to act like a porn star to be good in bed. My concern is not porn itself, but a generation brought up with such easy access to it via the internet, that they begin to have an unrealistic view of sex and the female libido.
They begin to believe every woman should look and act like they stepped out of an x rated video, forgetting the women who do step out of these are actors. They're pretending.
My advice is you talk to your girl about what you like and want. Praise her when it's happening. Start experimenting together. Learn how to please each other. Explore your mutual needs. Be open to discussing your sexual wants as well as hers.
But also be realistic. This girl is probably never going to turn into a "porn star". And you should make sure you are not throwing away something perfectly good in an attempt to find something that may not exist.
I am not suggesting women are not capable of extreme sexual hunger in the bedroom. They are. But if you constantly look past what you have in a bid to create something you have seen on the internet, you may never get what you actually want.
Try to honest with yourself and with her. If you try to spice things up and it doesn't work and if you feel frustrated and constantly bored then maybe you do need to find someone else with an appetite more suited to yours. Just don't go searching for the perfect woman… who is all things in bed and out. She probably doesn't exist.
Have Your Say
i think everyone's being a bit harsh here...he's only asking for better sex, he just could have phrased it a little better.
Speaking as a girl OP the only advice I can offer is make sure she's having a good time...talk to her about it, maybe hint at a few things you would like her to do. find out if she likes watching porn that can also be fun or buy toys.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (10:05am)
Maybe she doesn't want to pretend to love you "finishing" in her face.
lol I almost spat diet coke all over my keyboard. AWESOME BOSSY ha ha
Wed 06 Apr 11 (10:13am)
You sound like a sulking child.
It's meant to be fun!
She's not a piece of meat.
You should be careful, though. Don't push her to do anything.
Suggestions don't always work Bossy!
One time I tried to guide (my then inexperienced) gf when we were doing the deed and she actually slapped my face and said she felt "degraded!"
Wed 06 Apr 11 (10:18am)
Wed 06 Apr 11 (02:03pm)
You dont do it during sex!
Talk about it first, no wonder you got that response.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (05:31pm)
One time I tried to guide (my then inexperienced) gf when we were doing the deed and she actually slapped my face and said she felt "degraded!"
Most girls don't appreaciate their ears being used as handles - no matter how keen they are.
I am a guy around 30 and believe me, I wish your girl friend kicks your sorry ass. My babe and I are caring loving and feel attracted to each other by the we communicate and have so much in common. The sex is only one part of it. The sooner you realise that intelligent women are more than those sorry plastic boobed fake tan ugly porn actors, the more you will learn to appreciate her for who she is. I don't think you have a brain.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (10:20am)
Wed 06 Apr 11 (11:53am)
clearly you are a woman trolling to be a man, either that or you are gay and dont realise it yet. No bloke would actualy say this, the guys doesn't actually want a porn star, he just wants beter sex, in the same way his GF probably wants him to buy him more flowers, it's give and take, and you can both move forward together.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (02:04pm)
Yep sorry as a girl myself, you sound like an angry anti porn girl!
Wed 06 Apr 11 (02:35pm)
This paragraph reads like it has been lifted from a chick-flick or romance novel. Cliche, much???
Thu 07 Apr 11 (02:27pm)
detective: Why gay? I can assure you gay men don't go through this kind of crap. We generally know what we want. Great sex without the emotional bullshit.
Dear OP,
it would be more of a problem if she was refusing you sex, many men have to endure celibacy in marriage.
Nevertheless, I am sure things could be improved. Start by trying to find out what she wants. Take up massage and find the best way of massaging her, not to turn her on in the short term but to relax her and help her to open up about the way she wants to be touched. If you are not focussed on how to please her, you cannot expect her to focus on how she can please you.
Never forget, that the 1 to 3 month flings you talk about would not have produced a sexual high and variety forever. Your goal with your partner is to have a relationship strong enough that it can endure the end of honeymoon sex, and survive even if it never happens. (That does not mean that you should not obtain honeymoon sex for the both of you if you can.)
I have two further questions for you. If she wrote in to Bossy, would she be saying that you only touch her for sex, rather than out of tenderness and affection? Do you believe that the goal of sex between the two of you is your pleasure and satisfaction? If the answer to either is yes, then consider expanding your horizons.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (10:33am)
Ok - firstly you dont mention what you do for her sexually or how much communication is happening. The most important thing you can do with your mouth is to talk!
It takes a long time to build trust and openness sexually, so work on building the intimacy and helping her become more experienced without putting pressure on her to become a porn star. I mean do you want a warm, sexy loving girlfriend who enjoys sex with you or do you want her to feel inferior, inhibited and naive???
Are you also prepared to accept criticism or hints from her is the other thing - as you may not be meeting her needs or desires, though she may be too shy to say much yet or really know what she wants.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (10:49am)
Wed 06 Apr 11 (12:05pm)
Why does it have to take a long time to build trust and openess in a sexual way? Why not just be open and have fun from th get go?
But agreed- communication is obviously key.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (12:50pm)
Why does it have to take a long time to build trust and openess in a sexual way? Why not just be open and have fun from th get go?
Aaah Smidge! It doesn't always work that way for girls! It's such an intimate thing it can be a bit scary and intimidating, especially for newbies.
All I can say is I feel the most adventurous when I'm relaxed and trust my partner and that doesn't happen for a while. You have to know someone to trust them.
OP it's ok to talk about this with your GF you know. This is something you need to work on together. Start out slow - maybe massage, books and go from there. I'm sure she'll come to appreciate it later on.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (01:57pm)
Because Smidge it takes a little while to work out if the guy I'm seeing can handle being told "I like to be 'raped' sometimes" or if he will freak out.That admission requires a lot of trust. Vanilla sex just isn't that great for me, requires a bit of kink.
Trust takes little while to build in any relationship I think, emotionally and sexually. Admitting fantasies especially those you just aren't supposed to have according to society, is very scary.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (02:22pm)
Wow, either I have had lots of luck in the past, or I make women comfortable very quickly. Honestly, if both people aren't chilled about it all it won't be fun, so why make a big deal out of nothing?
I'll admit I'm slightly intimidated with new partners and I worry whether I will satisfy them and whether they ill like the things I like. I guess it could be called "scary". But that won't help either people have fun, so I take a tablespoon of concrete, HTFU (literally and metaphorically) and give it my all.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (03:11pm)
let me get this right; you wait until you feel safe and trusted enough in a realtionship before you ask them to "rape" you, is that correct?
That's odd to me, because I always understood rape was done to you without consent, trust or safety. It is a violent crime committed upon another person with no regard for their wellbeing what so ever.
I don't have a problem with what gets you off, just with what you call it.
You are acting, they are fighting for their life. Big difference.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (03:36pm)
I think that's the point Smidge - we all act tough at first but we do that cos we're not feeling 100% comfortable. When you're comfortable it's way better
Wed 06 Apr 11 (04:14pm)
J- I'm not going to air my sexy laundry on the blog, too but I find it quite easy to talk about those more 'colourful' preferences with the partners I choose rather quickly…
Wed 06 Apr 11 (04:27pm)
Smidge - it takes time to build trust of all kinds, especially sexual.
I mean if ur a guy who likes wearing women's clothes, most of the time you want to know the girl will not run off screaming before volunterring such info? Bear also in mind that due to her inexperience then it's all the more true! A lot of women don't become comfortable with their bodies or sexuality years later.
but yeah, communication is the key with any good relationships - if she doesn't know then she won't be able to address the issue with the OP.
Howdy Raz - good to see you as always!
Thu 07 Apr 11 (01:21pm)
If someone is going to run off screaming because of your preferences wouldn't it be better to find out sooner rather than later? Either way they will ditch you if they have that big an objection to what you like.
Whoa hold on guys, if he changed the word porn star to more exiting would you guys be ripping into him?? Maybe, just maybe it was a poor choice of words and he just meant more exiting..
Whoa internet forums hey.
Anyway, but to the topic, I think the best advice is that you need to take it slow, try introducing toys for her etc, maybe spend some time on her, and just her and get her really ready to go…
Wed 06 Apr 11 (10:56am)
Wed 06 Apr 11 (10:30pm)
More exiting sounds like ironmike's demands for anal sex.
Frankly, your attitude stinks – and if this is what she sees, she's hardly going to open up and trust you. Her feelings of security are paramount if you're asking her to even consider becoming more adventurous. You need to read David Shade. He teaches that the more you focus your attention on the woman and her pleasure, the more willing she will be to consider and even initiate new and exciting activities.
If she really is the sweet and awesome girl you make her out to be, be the man she needs. The rewards will follow.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (10:57am)
Wed 06 Apr 11 (12:33pm)
Agreed, David Shade has some great stuff. OP, do a google search.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (02:45pm)
David Shade is for men too gutless to get their point across.
'The more you focus your attention on the woman and her pleasure, the more willing she will be to consider...'
I've been with chicks who take what they want and deliver nothing. No amount of attention changes their narrow minds.
I've been with overly generous women who offer anything without any prior attention.
It all comes down to the individual woman.
Some girls will, some girls won't. No amount of 'respect' or 'focusing attention' can change some chicks.
The only thing OP that you are professional about is being an immature tool.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (11:09am)
I'm a 30 year old guy in the exact same situation. I love my girlfriend, who I've been with for more than three years. She is absolutely lovely, and attractive, the nicest girl ever - but my god the sex is terrible. So boring, I have to admit I have lost interest. I have tried to raise my concerns (as delicately as possible), but this has always ended in tears and me feeling like a jerk. The thing is, I'm not a freak - I just want things like lingerie, oral and doggy style. Why is this so hard to get? I've had hot sex in the past, but it always seemed to be with girls who were crazy and/or b*tches.. why are nice girls never good in bed? It sucks.. I don't want to cheat on her but man it is tempting… I really sympathise with you man.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (11:12am)
Wed 06 Apr 11 (02:16pm)
I say it is evolution, For a crazy girl to keep the relationship that leads to successful procreation she needs to be Good at giving pleasure, because otherwise every guy will leave straight away.
If a Girl is smart and nice and has other desirable attributes beyond the sexual, she can maintain a successful relationship with out being a F#$k toy.
Also men generally define Nice as Virtuous and Faithful which probably also coincide with a lower sex drive that a slut or Raging Nympho.
Asking for the Virgin Whore is as stupid as women that want the Nice/Honest bad boy , or the playa that doesn't play up. If you expect to get an oxymoron you are probably a moron.
Seeing as you are such a stud and clearly have the sexual prowess of Casanova, why don't you communicate with her what turns you on sexually if it is more risque?
If she is an L plater and you want to up the ante then she needs educating, and support. Perhaps some adult magazines? A visit to an adult shop? There is actually porn out there made by women for women on increasing love making skills between couples, not the misogynistic rubbish produced by men who think all sex entails GG cups, crappy platinum blonde highlights and 12 year old genitalia.
Lastly if she is like a lot of women (myself included) sexual confidence and experience comes with experimentation and practice.
Also maybe guide her by saying....I really like it when this is done to me....but if you equate the sex in a relationship with that of a XXX video.......mmmm......methinks you are doomed

It's spooky how similar the OP's story is to mine. I am also a 25 year old man with a satisfying career, mortgage and lovely girlfriend who I've been with for nearly a year. Like you I also have been with many girls while she's had far less exposure to sex. That's the thing about virgins, they won't have as much confidence as you because not only are they beginners, they have all sorts of external pressures that say all true women instinctively know how to give good sex. They think porn is the proper way to have sex and please a man, so they're terrified of not living up to your expectations. She's probably still in the neurotic "oh my god what do I do, what if he thinks I'm a prude, I can't let him lose interest in me" phase.
The important part is the reassure her that it's ok to be inexperienced, we all have to learn sometime! If you take the lead it takes the pressure off of her and she'll get into it more. Treat her gently, go at her pace. It's all about building trust, so the more you do it the more confident she'll get. Just give her some time and she'll get better, no rush.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (11:20am)
My god! Grow up and get a life. At least girls know that fairytales are exactly that why can't guys learn that porno's are fairytales too? The girls are PAID to act like that!! It's not real.
Jesus. If it's that big of a deal, leave her to find a decent guy. You can focus your attention on finding some wild thing who'll leave you the moment someone more appealing (bigger member, more money etc) comes along.
I have a new term "quality girl/boy (man/woman)" the girl you have is a quality girl! The flings, weren't quality girls.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (11:22am)
It all depends on why she kept her virginity for so long. If it was for religious reasons or her upbringing, then with due care and making her feel secure, she may well be able to break down the walls of sexual repression her parents / church installed in her mind, and she will go off like a fire cracker.
Alternatively, if she is sexually conservative by nature, there is nothing you can do. She will never change, so you should dump her.
Lets be honest, you are too young to look for a good wife and mother figure, too young to settle down, so you should quit toying with her and let her go. She can never satisfy you.
You should go find a far more adventurous girl who is more than happy to act like a porn star. The down side is, she will act like a porn star with your mates behind your back as well. Girls with a high sex drive don't do well with monogamy. Still, worry about that later.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (11:31am)
Wed 06 Apr 11 (02:24pm)
Why does it have to take a long time to build trust and openess in a sexual way? Why not just be open and have fun from th get go?
Hmm would be curious to know if is there any evidence to back that up. Or do men just think that about women?
Wed 06 Apr 11 (03:35pm)
Sorry - blonde day. I meant I wonder if there is any evidence of this - "Girls with a high sex drive don't do well with monogamy".
Wed 06 Apr 11 (07:00pm)
What complete and utter cr@p, just because a woman has a high sex drive doesn't mean that she will be 'out and about',girls with high sex drives can do monogomy well. Case in point!
Thu 07 Apr 11 (12:27am)
Re: Girls with a high sex drive don't do well with monogamy. Still, worry about that later.
I am a woman, with a high sex drive, have been married for 7years, I am monogamous with my husband and have never cheated!
If the poster didn't sound so immature I would be kinder. You are not going to make her a porn star, and she is inexperienced. I agree with other posters, maybe your'e the dud? maybe she needs to relax and have plenty of foreplay to get her more interested, and btw of course she wont try things right away as she will be nervous, being new to the idea of sex. Maybe you can bring up one day that you are wondering how everything is going in the bedroom department as you have no idea what she likes and is there anything she might want to try as you understand she might be nervous as you are concerned about her having pleasure also.
Mate, I'm going to let you in on an unfortunate truth. "Nice" girls, ie the one's you want to be your girlfriend, the one's that get on well with mum etc, are very rarely good in bed. Most girls that are unbelievable in bed are crazy, b*tches and/or $luts. It's a difficult task making a "nice" girl good in bed and more often than not ends in tears - I'd say you are better off just keeping your nice girlfriend but getting your rocks off with some slapper on the side - discretely of course!
Wed 06 Apr 11 (11:34am)
I see a lot of women here writiing that you need to talk with your girlfriend about you want and ask for it. Ladies, what you don't realise is that, as guys, we are egotistical creatures, and if we have to ask/beg for something in bed, we get that sense that the girl is only doing it because they feel like they have to - and that TOTALLY KILLS the moment.TRUST ME ON THIS ONE, IT IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH.. ASK ANY GUY! It is sooooooo much better if you get the impression that they are doing something in bed because THEY want to. This is particularly true for BJ's - when the girl acts like they are genuinely enjoying it, it is seriously a million times better than if they are acting like they aren't into it. For God's sake, if you are in a long term relationship with a guy who treats you well, is it so hard to wear sexy underwear and give him enthusiastic head now and then? I think a far better approach is for you girls to just try something new and different - 99% of the time your guy will be into it, I guarantee you. My girlfriend asks me why I haven't proposed yet, well if she was the exact same person but was as good in bed as some of my past girlfriends, I already would have! That might annoy some readers but it is the truth
Wed 06 Apr 11 (11:43am)
Wed 06 Apr 11 (01:43pm)
I'm supposed to be vaccuming, but what the hell…
GT, if you seriously are holding off from marrying your girlfriend over this, why aren't you doing something about it?
You are wasting precious life here, and for the both of you. She's hanging about waiting for marriage and your waiting for better sex. Neither of you are getting what you want.
Its time to have the conversation you are both avoiding. Not just the "I'd like a happy BJ occaisionally honey", but the whole truth of how you feel including the lack of a marriage proposal and then allowing her to talk whilst you listen. (you are entitled to have your truth, even if it annoys her)
Ask her what she is prepared to do to help; read books on sex or even see a counsellor. I guess the first step is that she talks to you about it, and no more tantrums to avoid the conversation. If it helps, talk in the dark, its less confronting if you can't see the person's face. I have more confidence this way and at least I get to say what I really feel.
Pretty much everything I do together with my husband I can do with any other person, except for the sex. It is unique to that relationship and hence makes it incredibly valuable to me. I don't feel that comfortable talking about sex with my hubby, but I have to if I want to continue to make it better. As life changes so does the sex and I imagine many more conversations will be needed.
If you guys can't be open and honest about this now then it will just continue to be there, always waiting to pop up and cause grief.
Its Ok to want a decent sex life, and I agree that what you are asking for isn't beyond most people. Your girlfriend needs to be given the information so she can choose if she is able to be there with you.
Seriously, get going on this and find out one way or the other if you have a future together.
Go well
Wed 06 Apr 11 (01:48pm)
GT, I don't think anyone is suggesting he needs to 'beg' for anything. I think he needs to talk about what options there are and what exciting things they could try for both of them.
Speaking from a girls point of view it is pretty exciting to hear what a guy would like you to do or what he would like to do to you. There is nothing better than seeing him completely turned on so you're more than happy for suggestions of things that might help. We girls can not read your minds and what might be a massive turn on for one guy might move into superfreak territory for another.
As an inexperienced girl she might not have any idea what else could be going on. Or she might be frightened that he would judge her for her fantasy.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (02:08pm)
Then tell her that! or stop leading her on and let her find someone that will
I expect I am being unfair. If you had not mentioned turning her into a porn star I would have taken your question at face value.
Good work on acknowledging this yourself Bossy. It's just semantics and the OP will be sledged by many female posters because of his wording.
Ladies, he just wants to ask how he can lead his girlfriend towards being more experienced in sex. Many women will never understand how important good sex is to men.
OP, let her know what you'd like to try in an intimate conversation (after sex pillowtalk is good for this). If she seems Then read some guides yourself on whatever act you'd like to do and gently take the leading role when it's time to get started.
If you want to go down the non-verbal route then you should be able to find guides on introducing new sex acts written by men on the internet. Use your own common sense as to what is reasonable, consensual and likely to be effective. To give you an example, you can test a girl's responsiveness to domination by starting with gently holding her throat during sex, but I'm sure some idiot would advocate pulling out the whips and chains and demanding your 'slave' to kneel.
You've got to realise that not all girls are good in bed, have a high sex drive or are open to new experiences in the bedroom. If great sexual compatibility is important to you and she doesn't show a willingness to try new things then you might want to consider finding yourself a new girlfriend.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (11:51am)
I have to agree with some of the posts here, about 6 months ago I met a nice girl, younger than myself and because of the people that had influenced her in her life.........she was under the impression she had to behave like a porn star to get me to love her.
Even though we had a lot of fun this obsession with trying to be an 'animal' in the bedroom distracted her from the things that really matter in a relationship, which caused us to drift apart.
So OP, you're a moron, you've got an inexperienced girl who loves you to bits, things will change over time and she'll want to experiment as time goes by.
Do you really realise what you have, a loving woman that hasn't had 3/4 of the population sampling her..........that's bloody rare man............don't throw that away because you want Charlie Sheen's life......if that's your frame of mind.........she deserves better...........I know I did
Wed 06 Apr 11 (12:05pm)
Wed 06 Apr 11 (04:49pm)
So you had a girl who was an animal in the sack, and you didn't like it.
Face the real facts, you are gay, its the only possible explanation for a guy saying "my girl is too wild in bed."
Get your ass down to oxford st and leave the women to the straight guys.
If she was a virgin and the sex is boring, isn't that your fault stud?
Wed 06 Apr 11 (12:37pm)
She was not a virgin! Any girl claiming to be a virgin past the age of 20 is either a liar or being religiously oppressed.
She spent the last decade having "her fun", and now that she's bagged herself a "nice guy" she's putting on the virgin act to a) play on your emotions and keep you hooked and b) 'retire' from the sex she's no longer interested in.
Fact: All women are capable of porn from the get go. They've spent their whole lives with a vagina, they know how to use it.
Fact: No woman is going to perform porn acts just to please her man.
A woman only ramps things up in the bedroom if she thinks she's going to get something out of it for her self. No woman ever does anything with the singular intent of making the other person happy.
Why do you think they hate nice guys so much? It's because they don't understand a giving nature, in her mind their must be an ulterior motive motive to the gift because that's how they themselves would act.
Knowing this there are two possible things you can do. 1) find her lever, (what motivates her) and condition it on decent sex. Or 2) ask yourself whether what you have now is enough to live a happy life with and act on your answer.
Apart from that quit being a sook. Because fact: no girl put any effort into sex with a sooking man.
Wed 06 Apr 11 (12:38pm)
Wed 06 Apr 11 (01:40pm)
OMG. Bossy, are you serious? He's not joking? That's a bit scary. I hope he doesn't have mummy's fully clothed 10-years-dead body propped up on a sofa in his living room.
I used to work with a guy who had grown up with a redneck, misogynistic, physically abusive 'hunt'n, shoot'n & fish'n' type father. My colleague was intrinsically a really nice person, but his fathers attitude had rubbed off and his perceptions towards his mother, and all females, were damaged to say the least.

The rate for hotel rooms in the District averaged $248.37 per day in April, the fourth-highest average monthly rate ever recorded and 10 percent more than the average rate a year ago.
April's room rates were likely helped by the record attendance at this year's National Cherry Blossom Festival, which topped 1.6 million visitors, according to Hendersonvile, Tenn.-based Smith Travel Research data provided to D.C.'s Office of the Chief Financial Officer.
The number of hotel room days sold in April also increased from the previous year, with the three-month moving average for April growing by 3.9 percent.
The days sold and the room rate in April combined to drive a 7.7 percent gain in the three-month average for room revenue in April.
The revenue growth is part of an uptick that began with the 2013 presidential inauguration. April's numbers, however, show that the room revenue didn't drop off as sharply as it could have after January's spike. While the three-month averages for February and March would have still factored in the inauguration, April's numbers represent the post-inauguration average taken from February, March and April.
The numbers are a bright spot following declines in the hotel sector late last year. While hotel room revenue still hasn't bounced back to pre-2012 levels, the 12-month average for revenue was 2.4 percent higher in April than the previous year and the highest since August 2012.
The National Park Service has said the fire was likely human caused, but that remains under investigation.

RISMEDIA, June 9, 2011—Mobile Real Estate ID heads to Orlando this week to speak about how mobile solutions are enhancing the real estate industry, the company has announced. The Xplode Real Estate Technology Conference boasts to give $45,000 in mobile marketing solutions to event attendees. Mobile Real Estate, a New York-based company continues to be instrumental in helping real estate agents become more knowledgeable on all things mobile. The company's involvement with Xplode has added to the well rounded dynamic that the Xplode event brings to its audience.
"Mobile technology is now technology and Xplode is all about what agents need and should be using now. Providing this mobile solutions package to the agents who attend Xplode events is key to their continued success in business" says Matt Fagioli, creator of Xplode events. He has also seen a key benefit to providing this technology to the attendees at his past two events in Austin, TX and Destin, FL.
The mobile solutions package provided by Xplode is a $250 value per agent, and includes text messaging with lead generation, QR code and One QR Code ™ technologies with additional upgrades such as data integration and the key ingredient, Agent Mobile Websites. This benefit provides agents with the ability to market on the fastest growing platform for 2011, the mobile web.
For those thinking of attending the event on Thursday, June 9th, this is a huge value. Xplode is more than providing attendees with their money back on these mobile services. Seats are still available to those considering signing up for a full day which guarantees to provide takeaway information about mobile marketing, social media, video, mobile devices, and lead management.
Agents in and around the Orlando area do not want to miss out on this event. For more information on Mobile Real Estate ID, visit mobilerealestateid.com.

chain - a table in the xCAT database.
chain Attributes: node, currstate, currchain, chain, ondiscover, comments, disable
Controls what operations are done (and it what order) when a node is discovered and deployed.
The node name or group name.
The current or next chain step to be executed on this node by xCAT-genesis. Set by xCAT during node discovery or as a result of nodeset.
The chain steps still left to do for this node. This attribute will be automatically adjusted by xCAT while xCAT-genesis is running on the node (either during node discovery or a special operation like firmware update). During node discovery, this attribute is initialized from the chain attribute and updated as the chain steps are executed.
A comma-delimited chain of actions to be performed automatically when this node is discovered. ("Discovered" means a node booted, but xCAT and DHCP did not recognize the MAC of this node. In this situation, xCAT initiates the discovery process, the last step of which is to run the operations listed in this chain attribute, one by one.) Valid values: boot or reboot, install or netboot, runcmd=<cmd>, runimage=<URL>, shell, standby. (Default - same as no chain - it will do only the discovery.). Example, for BMC machines use: runcmd=bmcsetup,shell.
This attribute is currently not used by xCAT. The "nodediscover" operation is always done during node discovery.

The most common method of pulling a mob is by damaging it from a range.
Body pulling instead relies on walking into its aggro radius, where the mob notices you and comes running for you (or starts firing or casting from a range if it has ranged attacks).
An advantage to body pulling is that the range at which mobs detect damage tends to be slightly larger than the range at which they will simply run along with a friendly mob to see what the fuss is about. As such, it is possible to separate some groups with body pulls where any form of damage-based pulling would pull the entire group.
One difficulty with executing such body pulls is that it takes a while for mobs to react to you being in their aggro range. If you just keep walking ahead until something happens, chances are that you have actually placed yourself in the aggro range of yet another mob (an "add") which will trigger shortly after you notice the first one coming for you.
Players attempting a tricky pull with body pulling will commonly take a few quick steps ahead and then retreat and watch for a reaction. If there was no reaction, the procedure is repeated, only slightly farther ahead than the previous time. This takes good reactions, eye-hand coordination, and perhaps most of all patience. It will be quicker once you know the aggro range of a given type of mob of a given level, which is where the experience comes in.
The below information is obsolete as of Patch 3.0.8, the new ranged taunt Hand of Reckoning is now learned by all paladins at level 16. Body pulling is also the main form of pulling available to paladins in the general case. Holy paladins will generally have Holy Shock at level 40, and protection paladins will frequently have Avenger's Shield at level 50. Somewhat rarely, a pull using Avenger's Shield is too tricky, so another way to pull is necessary. Retribution paladins have Repentance at level 40 which allows them to make a ranged pull as well. But without speccing to one of these abilities, a paladin is unable to make a ranged pull other than using one of just a few items at the paladin's disposal. But once a paladin is above level 50, it is quite reasonable to expect that they do have one of these abilities.

Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work
The Department of Defense Dependent Schools Europe invites you and your child to participate in an enjoyable and beneficial learning experience known around the globe as Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work on April 26. Designed to be more than a career day, the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work program goes beyond the average "shadowing" of an adult. Exposing girls and boys to what a parent or mentor in their lives does during the work day is important, but showing them the value of their education, helping them discover the power and possibilities associated with a balanced work and family life and providing them an opportunity to share how they envision the future and begin steps toward their goals in a hands-on and interactive environment is key to their achieving success. Students in grades 3-6 and 7-8 will accompany their parents only from 8 to 10:30 a.m. Parents are responsible for their child's transportation.
Arts and Crafts Contest
The 2013 Arts and Crafts contest starts May 1 and runs through June 30. It is open to all Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation patrons (active duty, National Guard, Family members, retirees and Army civilians) of all ages.

Detroit MC Danny Brown burst into the music public's consciousness with his self released record The Hybrid in 2010, which garnered him acclaim nationwide and set up his signing to Fool's Gold for the follow up release of XXX in mid-2011. While his look, sound and production style are as gritty as they come, the mixtape was a fully formed, super focused statement that became one of the most compelling indie rap releases of 2011 without a single featured guest appearance.
As many of his contemporaries got quicker deals and found easier roads to rap stardom, his weirdness influenced labels to sidestep him early on and allowed him to sharpen his game in earnest throughout his 20's (XXX is a reference to his age in addition to his regular drugs/sex musings). While we're used to rappers with interchangeable hooks and overblown self-hyping, Danny Brown stands out with three dimensional lyrics that are full of psychedelic strangeness, allusions to the stark life he's lived in the shadow of Detroit's down times, and savagely funny punch lines.
His love of music doesn't end with rap, which is one of main reasons he ended up with Fool's Gold to begin with. "When we first met, we really didn't talk about doing business; we talked about music the whole time," says Danny of what endeared him to Fool's Gold. "That was the illest thing to me, because I sat down with a lot of labels and all we were talking about was, 'How can we make this project work?' and this and that. Fool's Gold was all about being fans of music, and 'How can we make Danny Brown better?' I didn't know they were such huge hip-hop nerds. A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs, you think of dance music, but they're real knowledgeable with everything." Thus, in 2012 you'll hear Danny Brown's raspy yelp pop up in any number of your favorite dance DJ's sets. Recently, he's finished work on tracks with A-Trak, trap-monsters Flosstradamus, Detroit's House Shoes, grime producer Darq E Freaker, and El-P just to name a few and just released a Brodinski remix of his track "Die Like a Rock Star". Watch for him in the Fool's Gold Clubhouse at HARD Summer!

WASHINGTON — First there was Black Friday, and then Cyber Monday. But sandwiched between is a newer shopping phenomenon that's catching on: Small Business Saturday.
This is the fourth year for "Shop Small," a nationwide push to get more shoppers to buy local from small business owners. The more shoppers buy from local merchants, the more money gets pumped into that local community.
Rachel Robins, from Connecticut, was shopping in Historic Occoquan on Saturday, an area known for its quaint shops, boutiques restaurants and art galleries. Robins was carrying a "Shop Small" bag.
"It's important to go out and support local business cause without them we have no community," she says.
LaVerne Carson is co-owner of the "Golden Goose," a specialty shop in Occoquan featuring Christmas ornaments and other Christmas items. She's owned the store for 37 years along with Pat Bowen. "It's nice, it kind of gives recognition to small businesses," Carson says. "I think it's important that we give service that you don't get in the big box stores."
Donna Williams, from Woodbridge, was shopping in Occoquan Saturday with a friend, Carl Wescott, "Yes, we went out this morning helping the Small Business Saturday. It helps strengthen the community so we're glad to do it," she says. She's been shopping here on Small Business Saturday for a few years.
Apparently, it's catching on, according to the National Federation of Independent Businesses. In 2012, Americans spent $5.5 million shopping small on Small Business Saturday.

Lingle's veto justified by an argument based in a sense of entitlement and superiority
Timothy Kincaid
July 7th, 2010
I do not believe that Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle is a bigot. I have not witnessed overt hostility towards gay Hawaiians or a pattern of anti-gay activism on her part. I think that she perceives herself as respectful and that she genuinely did feel some measure of compassion for the gay men and women who met with her on this issue.
However, one need not personally be a bigot to be motivated by disreputable intentions. And the argument that eventually compelled Lingle to veto this legislation was based in a sense of entitlement and superiority, the same emotion that drives racism, sexism, and other forms of bigoted expression.
From the text of Lingle's veto speech:
I am vetoing this bill because I have become convinced that this issue is of such significant societal importance that it deserves to be decided directly by all the people of Hawaii.
After listening to those both for and against HB 444 I have gained a new appreciation for just how deeply people of all ages and backgrounds feel on this matter, and how significantly they believe the issue will affect their lives.
Few could be unmoved by the poignant story told to me in my office by a young, Big Island man who recounted the journey he had taken to bring himself to tell his very traditional parents that he was gay. I was similarly touched by the mother who in the same office expressed anguish at the prospect of the public schools teaching her children that a same gender marriage was equivalent to their mother and father's marriage.
But in the end, it wasn't the persuasiveness of public debates, the soundness of legal arguments, or the volume of letters and emails that convinced me to reach this decision. It was the depth of emotion felt by those on both sides of the issue that revealed to me how fundamental the institution of marriage is to our community.
Lingle's examples – those which best illustrated the "depth of emotion" which she observed – consisted of two individual stories.
In the first, Lingle ignored entirely the real concerns and needs of same-sex couples. She dismissed rights, obligations, and benefits to focus instead on a coming out story. We don't know if this man was denied hospital visitation or if he paid higher taxes or even if he was part of a couple; we only know that his parents were traditional (with the assumption that all traditional parents are, by default, homophobic).
That is how Lingle characterized the entire quest for couples equality: the emotional difficulty of coming out.
Her second example was more accurate; it correctly expressed the motivations of those who object to civil equality.
This woman wished for her children to believe in the superiority of heterosexuals. She wished them to believe that heterosexuals are due privileges and benefits solely for being heterosexual. And she opposed any public impressions that would suggest that all citizens of Hawaii are equal. The idea that a school might teach that those same-sex people in a civil union were equivalent to her and her husband brought her anguish.
And this is at the heart of Lingle's decision. This was the argument which she found compelling. Indeed, it wasn't even a matter of some religion or other owning the word "marriage" but because she found civil unions to be "essentially marriage by another name."
In her follow up comments, Lingle clarified that her objection was that HB 444 "has all the same rights, responsibilities, benefits and protections" as marriage. It just didn't leave heterosexual as adequately "better" than gays and lesbians.
Lingle begs her constituents to recognize that she gave the decision making process the dignity that it deserves. But I am not so generous as to assume dignity or a fair consideration.
Because Governor Linda Lingle, like the woman whose anguish justified Lingle's veto, wants to keep heterosexuals as privileged, superior, and entitled. And that is a most disreputable motivation.

Scuba diving is an activity in Grand Theft Auto V. It can be performed anytime by the player, it can be used to get to hidden items in shipwrecks and other places underwater. Each individual character has his own lung capacity however if it's too low then with the use of scuba suit the player will have an oxygen tank. Many of the shipwrecks contain hidden treasure - usually around $25,000.
Some boats, including the Dinghy, are equipped with scuba diving equipment.
Despite having a steady supply of oxygen, scuba diving increases the lung capactiy.

Toyota To Make Plug-in Capability Standard on All 2014 Prius Models
Posted By Laura K. Cowan On May 9, 2011 @ 8:15 am In automotive,Green Transportation,Innovation,News | No Comments
According to The Nikkei [2], Toyota [3] plans to make plug-in [4] capabilities standard on all of its fourth-gen Prius hybrid models debuting in 2014. This is even bigger news than it sounds, since Toyota recently renamed a whole host of its new hybrid vehicle range [5] under the Prius label. The Nikkei reports, "Around 2015, Toyota aims to lift global hybrid [6] sales to around 1 million units a year, bringing the total number traveling the world's roadways to 5 million. Since some 70% are expected to be Prius models, the automaker hopes to use the plug-in versions to tap replacement demand."
Optimistic? Maybe, but the third-generation Prius is miles ahead of its competition for the moment, and Toyota's current hybrid vehicles are already topping 3 million [8] in sales per year. Toyota allegedly plans to use lithium ion [9] batteries and high-performance motors to power the cars, and hopes to keep pricing in line with current models.

On July 31, 1959, he married the love of his life, Dorothy Frances Hollabaugh. He served in full-time ministry for 45 years with nearly 25 of those years as Pastor of Southeastern Holiness Church in Indianapolis. He held ministerial credentials with the Wesleyan Methodist Church, Bible Covenant Church and the International Conservative Holiness Association. He served on the boards of the ICHA, Church of the Bible Covenant and Union Bible College. In his spare time, he loved to cook and enjoyed hunting and going to auctions.

He was preceded in death by a brother, Larry Dean Staley.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, October 29, 2012 at Southeastern Holiness Church, 3957 Southeastern Avenue, Indianapolis, with Pastor Ron Stevens officiating. Burial will follow in Garland Brook Cemetery in Columbus.

It would help if you can write a minimal testcase for this, ie. what arguments to give to odeint so that it produces this error. It's probably best to continue the discussion here: http://scipy.org/scipy/scipy/ticket/696 so that the information is archived on a single place. -- Pauli Virtanen
