I've been putting bags of breastmilk in the freezer all week, and when I took them out to organize them and put them in a container, some were not frozen! They had been in there for days, and were in between bags that had frozen solid, so I know it's not a defect of my freezer. What could be in the milk that's keeping it from freezing? The only thing I could think of that doesn't freeze at 0 degrees F is alcohol, which I have not had. I do have an intra-ductal yeast infection, is it possible that the yeast are fermenting the milk? I've never heard of this. The thought of my baby getting drunk off my milk is ludicrous.
Also, does anyone have any recommendations for thickening breast milk to prevent reflux? My DD's ped recommended this (she actually recommended a thickened formula, which I really don't want to do) for her reflux problems.
Thanks for your help!

Get him, he has a ring!
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
I've always been one of Curry's biggest critics but even I am starting to feel sorry for him. Years ago I really thought he went off the deep end and would get in trouble in Chicago that would jeopardize more than his basketball career. However, it seems as if he really has been trying to get things back together. He didn't even look that bad when playing for Dallas. What do you guys think? Has he done his penance yet?
I'll feel bad when he goes back in time and gives back the 60 million from his cap killing contract
I wish nothing bad on him away from The NBA but him getting cut is a result of poor work ethic not bad breaks
William Gates in Hoop Dreams was an example of bad breaks happening to a talented player
Curry is another sad story of a talent not willing to work
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
SCREW HIM! That lazy thief.
How could you EVER feel sorry for that fat slob waste of talent. I hate Eddy Curry down to my core. Nothing will ever change that.
I thought when Miami cut him it would be the last we saw of him but SA picked him up and he had a good pre-season with them but he got cut anyway.
Then Dallas picked him up because Kaman was injured and he get's cut again, I guess Kaman is back from that calf strain because Troy Murphy is not a backup C. Feel for Eddy, he's lost weight and he's putting up good enough offensive numbers but he stil can't play D or rebound.
I thought he looked good on offense with Dallas against the Lakers, his defense was Amare-like though

^ I had to edit my post because of a small mistake but u seemed to know what i meant. Green rep for not callin me out on it.
I never really answered the thread question though. I have felt bad for Curry even though i probably shouldnt. Theres people that have a way worse then him in the country. He needs to be more motivated to keep improving so he can eventually get himself a bigger contract but the opportunity is there for him where as many people in the country and all over the world dont have the opportunity he does because of his size and low post offense. Hes just gotta keep himself in shape now and learn to play defense. I dont wanna see any NBA player end up like Antoine Walker
Hell get picked up by someone. Hes a center. Everyone wants one desperately enough that they will even go after him. So I wouldn't feel bad.
Athlete or not I started feeling bad for him when he lost his family. Although he had the potential to be something and never got there I still wish nothing but the best for Curry. We all know ppl who could never catch a break. The man worked his ass off (literally) to lose weight and put himself in a position that a team like Dallas would even give him the time of day. That's more then a lot of ppl I personally know would do.
It's easy as a fan to call a guy fat and lazy from a nice safe distance but I'm sure if you could walk in his shoes it isn't the cake walk you think it is.
Worse case scenario he should just go overseas and earn a paycheck there.
Seeing the lack of Centers in the east, I imagine somebody is bound to pick him up soon. I can really see him off the bench as a 3rd string option for some team. C'mon, Ronnie Turiaf was our STARTING big man during the Chauncey/Melo era. He's cut his weight down and he's still fairly young. If he doesn't find work here he'll definitely find something overseas. So I don't feel too bad for him.
Curry was Kaman insurance. Brandan Wright it is the backup center. Murphy will back up Brand and Murphy is something Dallas has always wanted in terms of a back up at the 4...a stretch 4. Curry did fine when he got his time, nothing earth shattering. Once Dirk gets back, Brand will get some minutes at the 5. Nothing Curry did wrong. At best it's a positive recommendation from Dallas brass when another team seeks information.
When you see why Curry went down the path he did it's understandable and reasonable. There are bigger things in life then basketball and money. I feel bad for him as a human being who lost his family in tragedy.
Beyond that, I don't have any ill will against a player for getting paid. It's up to management and coaching to evaluate player talent and potential. Paying Curry that money falls on Dolan and IT.
Also he has a ring but does he really deserve it? No. but there are plenty of players on ring chasing teams that won't/don't really deserve the hardware either. We just hate on EC because he represents the poor management of the Knicks Franchise over the last decade. It's the brass that you want to take issue with.

Malek: Reallocating health care costsJuly 14,2014
The states point person on health care is doing his part to plow the ground for single-payer by reminding Vermonters that they already pay a small fortune for health care. Presumably, this will make it easier to accept single-payers $2 billion in new taxes when the administration delivers on its mandate to present a financing plan.
Lawrence Miller, Vermonts chief of health care reform, says health care is already the highest tax paid in the state. With private health insurance costing $1.9 billion and total Vermont payroll at $12.3 billion, Miller makes the case that health insurance premiums already represent 15 percent of payroll, the figure Dr. William Hsaio of Harvard suggested as a new payroll tax in his 2011 single-payer report.
The implication is clear: Dont fret over a 15 percent payroll tax, the money is simply moving from premiums to a tax, and from private insurers to the state. The state will pay the bills the insurance companies used to pay, and the change will hardly be noticeable.
This conveniently overlooks the fact that it was the state that paid over $100 million rolling out a website that doesnt yet work, and wont work in time for its own annual renewal.
There are, however, far larger problems.
The most immediate problem with Millers premise is that not all employers are equal.
Some employers offer platinum health care plans, others no plan at all. Some operate very profitably; others arent even breaking even. Most are in between, spanning the spectrum from comfortable to marginal.
Some businesses rely heavily on machinery and equipment; others are labor i.e., payroll intensive.
Perhaps most importantly, some companies have price elasticity while others do not. That is, some businesses can raise prices without losing many customers, while others have little room to raise prices without losing lots of customers. Customers can be lost to online competitors or simply to alternative products or services.
Some businesses will go under; three out of five business startups dont survive in todays business environment.
Prime candidates to slip over the brink under single-payer are those on the lower end of profitability, with limited pricing elasticity, and payroll that represents a high percentage of total expenses.
How many businesses will close and how many residents will lose their jobs, no one knows.
However, since these unemployed will still have equal health care, their medical costs will be shifted to the remaining employers and employees, increasing their tax rates.
A key component of the broken system currently in place is the shifting of costs from government insurance under-payments to private insurance premiums. Under single-payer, any financial void will be split between the rationing of care and additional taxes.
Longer term, more subtle factors will come into play. Keeping payroll costs down will become an even more important goal of many businesses. Trimming payroll already saves an employer workers compensation costs, unemployment taxes, and employer Social Security and Medicare matches. Under single-payer another double-digit percentage will be saved on health care taxes. The impetus for machines to replace payroll can only intensify.
There will also be more incentive than ever to minimize cash income. Both employers and employees will be motivated to seek value that isnt subject to taxation. The gray market in tips, barter, and other fudgeables can be expected to grow.
Most importantly for the long haul, as the cost to the consumer goes down, utilization goes up. If its free, take two.
Individuals on platinum plans consume far more services than those on high-deductible bronze plans. If cost has little bearing on medical decisions, consumers will seek treatment more often and more aggressively. When everyone has a near-platinum plan, only rationing by denial, long wait times, or shabby treatment can replace cost as a deterrent.
Miller is busy plowing the ground. It will be interesting to see if he stays on for the harvest.

I agree with Chairman LMAO's comments. In the first half Batley also made too many mistakes. The game came at the right time and will have given John Kear a better idea of Batley's strengths and areas where the team need to improve.
Personally, I thought we had a very poor second half against a Sheffield side that utilised their kicking game to get round us after they'd failed to get through us. Very, very disappointed with us tonight after the break.
The main positives from the game was Batley's defence and trying to offload more in the tackle(compared to our rugby last season and under our two previous coaches). Some of the offloads came at the wrong time and resulted in errors/drop balls but if Batley continue playing that style of rugby and reduce the errors it will make the team more attractive to watch and give Batley a better chance of winning against the top Championship sides.
The main negative(of a few) is Batley's inability to deal with kicks whether it is in play or when the opposition are kicking off.

an extra gear which we don't possess.We desperately need a field kicker when
kicking for touch we only gain about 15/20metres and in open play not much more.
They kicked us to death in the second half pinning us back repeatedly.We will probably beat
most teams but i fear we will be found wanting against the top four.

I have to agree. The positional kicking did for us tonight and we made too many mistakes. I think u cud count on one hand the number of sets we completed (
Only if you've about 25 fingers there, mate. 59% first half, 70% second.
Posted 10 February 2013 - 11:47 AM
Posted 10 February 2013 - 12:46 PM
Have not seen the stats but i would say our completion rate was in the 30& to 40% mark nowhere near acceptable.
If it had been that low, you'd have lost by 50. I've said what it was. It wasn't a guess.
Posted 10 February 2013 - 01:05 PM
Have not seen the stats but i would say our completion rate was in the 30& to 40% mark nowhere near acceptable. Great effort in defence. Kicking game for us 3/10. As Rodders says we wont beat the top 4 teams very often but are good enough to compete on our day against anyone. For me we need another half back with a kicking game, pace and creative skills to challenge for the Championship if not i think 5th or 6th is our spot
Maybe paul mennell is the half back we need , he was only there 10 mins and kicked one 40/20 , I would give him the chance to build a partnership with Black over the next 2 games ,he did come as a half back , we have another 2 hookers , and maybe give hemingway a try at hooker

ARTS ENGINE presents: DOCUCLUB! 6/20/2012
Our next DocuClub screening will take place on Wednesday June 20 at DCTV, at 7p.m., located at 87 Lafayette (at Walker). This month, we will screen a rough cut of Cary McClelland's WITHOUT SHEPHERDS. Our moderator will be Arts Engine's own Phil Lane.
If you're planning to attend, please RSVP to email@example.com.

Admission at DCTV is free for current DocuClub members and $6 for non-members.

Tickets will be sold at the door, cash only.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. No admittance after 7:15 p.m.

WITHOUT SHEPHERDS is a rare and essential glimpse into brave lives trapped in the turbulent waters of Pakistan today. The film begins in wake of Benazir Bhutto's assassination, in the midst of the first national election in ten years. Just as the country faces an unprecedented opportunity to shape a new future, each of our characters takes their first steps in bold new directions of their own: a cricket star building a new political party, a female journalist working behind Taliban lines, an ex-mujahid seeking redemption, a trucker crossing dangerous territory to feed his family, a supermodel pushing feminism through fashion, and a subversive Sufi rocker using music to heal.
Whether explicitly or not, they are all part of a moderate core that is beginning to emerge in Pakistan, looking for progressive allies both domestic and abroad to help them address the decades old conflicts that are tearing their country apart. Each of them sees the world from a different perspective and has differing answers to questions regarding the government, the impact of Western foreign policy, the role of Islam, and the uncertainty of what kind of country will emerge. As the "war on terror†continues with no end in sight and dangerous consequences for the region and the world, WITHOUT SHEPHERDS is a record of this moment, where Pakistan sits at the center of a deeply broken world, and of those inside the country who try to find a way forward for all of us.

Hey all,
I will start with the most important info: The company I work for is willing to pay for short documentaries. We are not looking for free content.
With that said, I work for a yet-to-be launched web start-up focusing on world news. We are trying to uncover unreported stories that are hiding in plain sight around the globe. But more importantly, we want to tell stories about people.
We are looking for human stories that act as an entryway into larger issues. We want to give world events and concerns context through the voice of individuals. These stories will be short, feature-like news stories at heart, but with a real level of added artistry. Think Vimeo, not YouTube.
We want to give our audience a fresh take on often tired topics. We want to present new angles into the news, and deliver compelling insights that elevate the conversation.
The short docs should be about 2-10 minutes, depending on the story.
If you¹re at all interested, please reply to me as soon as you can. I will be more than happy to discuss content, compensation, and other specifics then.

NewFilmMarketing.com is excited to announce the launch of its 4-week webinars in the basics of Academic DIY and beyond. Take this class and you may never need another. Check-out the website for registration and class info, www.newfilmmarketing.com.
What will we cover? That's easy. It's all here in an article I wrote for the magazine of the International Documentary Association, Getting Your Film Ready for School
While the purpose of this article is to coach filmmakers to do it entirely on their own, these are also the topics we will cover in the class and more.
Now is the time to prepare yourself for a fall campaign or to gain the knowledge for when you are ready, and because the webinars will offer small group interaction along with my advice, you'll get great feedback from more than just one person.
By the way, in addition to these webinars, I also provide personal consults as well as full-service DIY distribution. Feel free to email for a no-cost, half-hour consultation: email@example.com

We are going to be in the Los Angeles area for a sit-down interview with a subject for a documentary film. We had planned to do the interview at his father's house near Ontario, CA, but that just fell through. So, we're looking for a location (will even consider sound studio) anywhere from Downtown LA out to San Bernardino for about 8 hours total (still working out times). Haven't budgeted much for location rental, but can pay a reasonable fee if it's a great spot. We're looking at crew of 3-4 with simple interview lighting and sound set-up. We have general liability insurance.
If you have specific suggestions, please drop me an email at email@example.com.
Thanks, Mark

NEW PODCAST EPISODE POSTING TODAY!! My podcast "The Real Stuff" is a series of interviews with the makers of unscripted tv and film. Â You can listen to it streaming on my site www.darrencoyle.com or subscribe to it on iTunes.
My guest this episode is John Gyovai.
John is a documentary filmmaker living and working in Washington, D.C.
John has been following in his father's footsteps as a filmmaker, but didn't go to school to study film. He got a job in the business, and has simply learned along the way. But John has a loftier goal other than making good films. John's goal is simple: change the world.Â
John doesn't want to change the world with his films, he wants to teach the world how to make their own films so that everyone has a voice and tells their story. At least he keeps it realistic. And he has been doing a pretty good job of it – traveling around the world telling stories and teaching filmmaking.

Hi D-Worders.
I am fellow documentary director and shooter and our production company FILM FOR THOUGHT just bought a fantastic C300 package we are willing to rent out to our documentary colleagues during our shooting schedule downtime.
We bought the camera since it's so light, modular, very unobtrusive and easy to professionally color-correct with its C-log setting. It's an amazing A-roll interview camera that rivals the RED. And most importantly – it has an unmatched low-light capability (we did professional tests and the camera held with minimal natural-looking grain up to an ISO of 6400) .
We are using the camera around 1 or 2 days a week which means it's available quite a bit. I have no interest in renting out the camera package to a big rental house but rather have it stay within the documentary community.
[ ] C300 EF Mount
[ ] 16-35mm Lens (L-series)
[ ] 24-105mm Lens (L-series)
[ ] Arri Baseplate
[ ] 15'' Rods
[ ] Genus Shoulder Mount that doesn't interfere with the tripod face plate
[ ] 3 Cards (2x16 Gigs, 1x32 Gigs Sandisk UltraPro = 164 minutes continues shoot time)
[ ] 3 Canon Batteries
[ ] Cartoni Focus HD Fluid-Head Tripod
If needed I can get you these additional lenses and audio gear:
[ ] Canon L-series 70-200mm
[ ] Canon L-series 50mm Prime
[ ] Canon L-series 85mm Prime
[ ] 2 Lavaries
[ ] Sennheiser Boom
[ ] 2 Lectrosonics Wireless systems
[ ] Plus we have a 5D Mark III as a matching B-camera package if you need a second camera.
We are based in Downtown LA but can deliver and pick-up. And our friend rate is 20% below the current rental market price. If you are interested, please send me an email to: contact[at]filmforthoughtinc[dot]com

Vt. high court overturns harassment conviction
MONTPELIER A split Vermont Supreme Court on Friday overturned the conviction of a man whos already served his sentence, saying the trial judge used the incorrect legal definition of the word harassment in instructing the jury that found the man guilty of violating a relief-from-abuse order.
In a 3-2 decision, the high court said that under the relief order, Tyler Smith Waters was allowed some contact with his former girlfriend and that the 37 text messages he sent her over 30 days in 2009 did not threaten her with physical harm. The court said Vermont law defines harassment as involving a threat of violence.
We recognize that defendants repeated texts to petitioner were insensitive, said the majority decision written by Justice Beth Robinson. But we cannot say that the communications amounted to threats.
Dawn Matthews, a lawyer in the Vermont Prisoners Rights Office, said Waters served two years in prison after his 2011 conviction. She said she did not know where he is now or if he was aware of the courts ruling.
The case, from Windham County, grew out of a charge that Waters violated the 2009 relief order requested by his former girlfriend, whom the high court did not identify. At the time, Waters had already been convicted of violating another relief order.
Under the 2009 order, he also was allowed weekly conversations with his child by the former girlfriend. But in December of that year, she told police she felt harassed, bullied and made to feel guilty after she received the flurry of text messages from him.
The case went to trial. And in instructing the jury, Judge David Suntag said that to harass a person means to intentionally engage in a course of conduct directed at that person which would cause a reasonable person to be annoyed, irritated, tormented or alarmed.
But the Supreme Court majority said in its ruling Friday that the only definition of harassment in state law is in the stalking statute, and that requires a threat of violence. The majority said the relief-from-abuse order should have prohibited Waters conduct in the case but did not.
The high court said the law can punish Waters only for violating the conditions imposed upon him, not for violating conditions that in hindsight should have been imposed on him.
A dissent written by Justice Brian Burgess said the lower courts ruling was proper because Waters former girlfriend had told him more than once to stop texting her.
It does not take a linguist, a lawyer, or statutes from other states to know that persistently texting your domestic-violence victim to get her within reach, after she has obtained a relief-from-abuse ... order against you and after being told your hectoring is unwelcome, is harassment, wrote Burgess, who was joined in the dissent by Chief Justice Paul Reiber.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Yoshi's and Amoeba Music, Oh My!Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
A few weeks ago I was in San Francisco, in part to visit an old friend, in part to see a few shows of John Zorn's 6-night residency at Yoshi's. I wrote all about the concerts I saw over at the City Paper, but the brief summary is: Bar Kokhba: wow!; The Dreamers: meh; Electric Masada: holy shit my life is complete. Also: Yoshi's is a pretty sweet place to see jazz. A little swanky for my tastes, but the one-item minimum is quite reasonable (much better than, say, the $10 minimum at fucking Blues Alley here in DC) and the sushi is totally amazing. Also, for the last Electric Masada set I had fantastic seats up in the balcony, dead center, perfect view of everything.
I also stumbled into Aquarius Records - I am on their mailing list but kind of forgot they're in SF, and was wandering around my friend's neighborhood when we came across it. What a great store. As in the pic above, they have these hand-printed reviews taped onto every single CD they sell in the store. Really, every single one. Very obvious that the people who work here love their music. Props!
And, of course, I went to Amoeba Music, which is a very very dangerous place for me, and I walked out with…
- Æthenor - Faking Gold and Murder
- Bozulich, Carla - Red Headed Stranger
- Claudia Quintet, The - Semi-Formal
- Coleman, Ornette - Free Jazz
- Coltrane, John - Sun Ship
- Coltrane, John - Live in Japan (4 CDs)
- Coup, The - Kill My Landlord
- Crow, Sheryl - Detours
- Dresden Dolls, The - The Dresden Dolls
- Earth - Live Europe 2006
- Faun Fables - The Transit Rider
- Flying Luttenbachers, The - Cataclysm
- Full Blast - Black Hole/Live at Tampere (2 CDs)
- Geraldine Fibbers, The - Butch
- Healing Force - The Songs of Albert Ayler
- Leng Tch'e - ManMadePredator
- Leng Tch'e - The Process of Elimination
- Leng Tch'e - Marasmus
- Ligeti, György - The Ligeti Project II
- Jarrett, Keith - Radiance (2 CDs)
- Jewel - Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
- Schoenberg/Sibelius - Violin Concertos (Hilary Hahn)
- Tarentel - Live Edits: Italy/Switzerland
- Xenakis, Iannis - Ensemble Music 2
Seriously, what a fantastic store. I got almost all of those used and cheap. I don't even know what that Earth album is - it's an official live album on Southern Lord, but it's apparently out of print and a Google search turns up very little information. I've listened to it once so far and it seems pretty solid. Nothing transcendent but a pretty accurate representation of Earth live. I still want to track down a copy of Live Hex though…

Field Test Double Testing Waiver
We are happy to announce that Illinois has been granted our request for a one-year waiver to allow the selected schools field testing full forms of field tests in the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) and Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) to use those assessments in place of the state assessments for the content areas in which they are being given.
For the PARCC assessment, a full form is defined as participation in both the Performance Based Assessment (PBA) and the End of Year Assessment (EOY) in one content area. For the content area in which these components are administered, the eligible student does not have to participate in that content area on the ISAT. Schools are still responsible for student participation in all other ISAT content areas assessed at a grade level.
While parents may opt their students out of the PARCC field test, it is important that parents with students in classrooms eligible for the double testing waiver inform their school districts of their desire to opt their students out of PARCC testing prior to the ISAT testing administration window opening. This is necessary so that these students may complete all ISAT content areas and fulfill the state and federal testing requirements. Schools are responsible for ensuring that all students participate in either the full ISAT test in all content areas or the full PARCC assessment in any content area that they do not participate in during the ISAT.
For the DLM assessment, a full form is defined as participation in all three testing windows. During the recruitment process for field testing, parents informed districts as to their desire to have their students participate. Schools are responsible for ensuring that all students participate in either the full DLM test in those content areas being tested or in the full IAA test for content areas not being field tested by the DLM.
Please find the letter from the United States Department of Education attached. If you have further questions, please contact Dan Frederking (PARCC field test) or Jessica Dare (DLM field test) in the Division of Student Assessment.

All of the words
Any of the words
The exact words(phrase)
Lars Petterson (1860-1898)
Petterson was the only participant on the first Fram expedition who was not Norwegian; he was Swedish. He was engaged as second engineer.
Because Norway at the time had begun a process to break out of the union with Sweden, Nansen wanted the whole expedition to be Norwegian. Petterson therefore wrote in his application that his name was spelt the Norwegian way – Pettersen – and that, although he was born in Sweden, his parents were Norwegian. In fact his parents were Swedish, but Lars had worked in Horten at the Naval Yard since 1889 as both blacksmith and engineer and in addition he knew both Anton Amundsen and Sigurd Scott-Hansen who would also be on the Fram.
Petterson was born in Odarslöf Parish in South Sweden as the youngest of his farmer parents' children. In 1881-83 he worked at the Hvilands Foundry and later in Ljunggrens Foundry in Kristianstad. In 1884-85 he worked on the railway Kristianstad-Hasselholm and in 1886 he moved to Norway. In 1888 he was on board the sealing ship Hertha of Sandefjord. He was apparently so taken by the Arctic region that he longed to return. In 1889 he moved to Horten 29 years old, and he married the same year. The couple had four children.
Petterson was the 2nd engineer on the Fram, but also worked in the galley and carried out many other jobs as blacksmith, barber and not least comedian. Nansen has an amusing description of him in his book from an incident when the oven exploded in the galley and Petterson fell out of the door to the main deck black and with soot all over. Nansen found him to be a great comic talent and very good at dancing. Petterson usually kept the accounts when he played cards with three of the others.
He and Anton Amundsen were celebrated when they arrived back in Horten in 1896. He died in Hamburg two years after the return of the Fram.
"Victory awaits him, who has everything in order - luck we call it. Defeat is definitely due for him, who has neglected to take the necessary precautions - bad luck we call it"
Roald Amundsen

What do you call a lodge with a helicopter, a fleet of K2 skis, fishing rods, stand-up-paddle boards, a sauna, jet skis and 18 hours of sunlight every day? Summer camp, for adults.
This past winter, the three coolest people on the planet—Mike Overcast, Greg Harms, and Olympic medalist Tommy Moe—split from Chugach Powder Guides to operate Tordrillo Mountain Lodge, which runs heli-ski trips in the winter and heli-ski and -fishing trips, called Cast and Carve, in the summer.
While midwinter AK pow is nothing to complain about, the summer trip is the Perfect Storm of Awesomeness. The schedule is as follows: unhurried breakfasts, heli rides to juicy corn runs, evening fishing fests, extended cocktail hours that might lead to late-night hatchet throwing, hottubbing, live music by chef Brendan Nolan, or swim-and-sauna sessions. It's good for all abilities, too. Our group ranged from folks who had never skied outside of Ohio to seasoned rippers. And as for the fishing, well, this editor will tell you: These guys will get even river gapers into serious fish. And if neither skiing nor fishing is your gig? This is Alaska—there are plenty of guns to shoot.

A spokesman for Washington Gov. Chris Gregorie says Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has asked her to return a prisoner wanted for killing his half-brother to Wisconsin.
Dane County prosecutors have charged Jeffrey Vogelsberg with killing Matthew Graville in their Mazomanie home in July. Authorities arrested Vogelsberg last month in Washington state. He had moved there to be with his wife, who is stationed at a military base near Tacoma.
Vogelsberg has refused to waive extradition to Wisconsin. Gregoire spokesman Jason Kelly says Walker has sent her a rendition warrant, which is essentially a request for Gregoire to ship Vogelsberg to this state.
Kelly says the paperwork is on its way to Gregoire's office and she has never denied such a request. A Walker spokeswoman didn't immediately return a message.

At Calvin Klein, beauties in the front row
- 3:07 am Friday, September 14th, 2012 by Robert Janjigian
The last major show of the New York spring 2013 collections was today's Calvin Klein runway presentation of Francisco Costa's industrial-strength-lineup for the season.
The house was packed full, with most everybody in their seats, including Kelly Klein, Calvin's ex and a Palm Beach winter resident, below, when three actresses of the moment came into the 39th Street show space and took their seats.
First in, Emma Stone.
Next, Amy Adams.
Then Diane Kruger.
Here's Amy taking a look at one of Costa's Calvin Klein looks for spring.

On the Road: Need a ride? Try the busSeptember 01,2014Do you ever think about leaving the driving to someone else? Well, think about taking the bus. Two new intercity services have been in operation since June. You can now go from Burlington to Albany, N.Y., by way of Route 7. This service features stops in Middlebury, Rutland, Manchester and Bennington. Connections can be made to other destinations including New York City. The second service travels between Rutland and White River Junction, then on to Hanover, N.H., with connections to Boston and southern New England. For more information, go to www.vttranslines.com or the city-to-city bus section at www.connectingcommuters.org/bus-info. Take the stress out of driving and try the bus.
In Rutland a re-configuration of Washington Street will slow traffic. Drivers will find day and nighttime work on South Main Street. Work on the ramp on Business Route 4 will finish this week. Woodstock Avenue in Rutland will have no work going on this week.
Interstate 89 bridgework in Milton continues to slow traffic. Paving on I-89 between Richmond and Colchester continues between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday. Motorists will encounter paving at the exit 12 southbound offramp and the exit 16 northbound offramp. Paving starts Tuesday. Daytime paving between Berlin and Brookfield will cause short delays.
I-91 projects include continued paving in both directions between St. Johnsbury and Lyndon (exits 23 and 21) as well as paving from Fairlee to Newbury. In Windsor a bridge project directs northbound traffic into the southbound lane with a reduced speed limit. In Brattleboro a major bridge project between exits 2 and exit 3 relocates northbound traffic to the southbound bridge. Drivers should expect delays, especially northbound on Friday afternoon and southbound on Sunday afternoon.
Route 105 in Richford still has a paving project.
Route 108 in Enosburg is also getting new pavement.
Route 111 between Morgan and Brighton continues with a paving project that will slow traffic.
Route 15 in Hyde Park has more box culvert work.
Route 12 between Elmore and Morristown will have one-way traffic during a paving project. Surface materials could be kicked up and damage windshields and even puncture tires in this work zone.
Route 5 between Lyndon and St. Johnsbury is getting some final paving. Drivers should expect delays.
Route 2 in Burlington and South Burlington is getting some road construction.
Route 2 between Waterbury and Bolton has alternating one-lane traffic in place for paving. Drivers should expect delays and should drive slowly and cautiously through this work zone and expect Saturday paving. The intersection of Route 2 and Route 100 in Waterbury has a new traffic pattern in a roundabout project. West of the intersection, on Route 2, crews will be installing new water lines. Expect delays in these work zones.
Route 14 in Jockey Hollow requires slower speeds for a box culvert project.
Route 107 between Stockbridge and Bethel continues to see a paving project that leaves a loose surface which can damage windshields and tires if a vehicle is traveling too fast. Expect delays.
Route 22A in Orwell will be reduced to alternating one-way traffic for a paving project.
Route 7 between Brandon and Middlebury has a new paving project this week. Expect alternating one-way traffic at times and delays.
Work on Route 123 and Route 5 between Putney and Westminster continues.
Route 30 in Winhall is undergoing culvert repairs.
Safe travels everyone.

How to Respond When Law Enforcement Arrives on the Scene
Campus Evacuation
Most emergencies do not require complete evacuation of the entire campus. However, when a campus evacuation is ordered by the ETSU mass notification system, all persons are to immediately evacuate the campus by foot in the direction opposite of the crisis area. Specific directions and routes will be communicated by the mass notification system. DO NOT get into vehicles, as vehicles in mass numbers have proven to be an ineffective means to evacuate campus in a timely manner. Vehicle transportation will need to be reserved for those with significant mobility impairments as well as keeping the roadways clear for emergency response vehicles.

Walker's budget means millions in cuts, Madison superintendent says
Madison district projects $8 million in cuts next year
Madison schools would face $8 million in cuts next year as a result of Gov. Scott Walker's budget proposal, and could face more if a controversial voucher expansion goes through, the district's interim superintendent said.
Madison is one of nine districts, including Beloit, where vouchers would be available if Walker's plan were implemented now.
The Madison district would lose out on $13.5 million over the next three years under "worst case" projections for the number of parents moving their students from public to private schools, interim superintendent Jane Belmore said.
"It's really going to have a pretty negative effect on our school district," she said.
The district would be required to pay 38.4 percent of the voucher's cost, which would help students attend a private school. Madison would also lose out on state aid for each child that left, Belmore said.
District administrators would need to make "tremendous cuts" or increase property taxes to make up the difference, she said.
In Milwaukee, where a voucher program has been in place for years, taxpayers footed an extra $53.6 million in 2012 because of the vouchers, said Tony Tagliavia, a Milwaukee Public Schools spokesman.
Something similar will happen in every district with vouchers, School District of Beloit Superintendent Steve McNeal said.
"It is a guarantee that (residents') taxes will go up," he said.
Beloit is the state's poorest district and receives the most aid. McNeal said he's expecting $3 million to $5 million in cuts will be necessary this year -- without the vouchers.
If 250 students get vouchers, property taxes would need to go up by $676,800 to maintain services, he said.
"If we were to lose 100 kids, a couple hundred kids, it would be a pretty devastating blow," McNeal said.
In the first year of the program, it's almost impossible for hundreds of students in a single city to get vouchers, said Cullen Werwie, a spokesman for the governor.
That's because the number of available vouchers is capped statewide at 500 in the first year and are awarded through a lottery system. The cap increases to 1,000 for the second year and is unlimited after that, Werwie said.
The nine districts where vouchers would expand under Walker's plan have the opportunity to get off the list if they improve enough schools, Werwie said.
The vouchers are part of the governor's budget proposal that currently sits in the state legislature.

The Rays lost the game, 5-4 in 10 innings. But Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon protested the game because of a fourth inning decision by umpiring crew chief Bob Davidson.
Davidson allowed Toronto manager John Gibbons to challenge a call at first base on an attempted picked off of Wil Myers. The call was overturned and Myers was call out.
Blue Jays pitcher Mark Buehrle was standing on the rubber and Yunel Escobar was standing in the batter's box before Gibbons left the dugout to challenge the safe call.
Maddon argued that because the players were in place, the challenge should not have been allowed.
"It's a legitimate protest," Maddon said. "Hitter in box, pitcher on the rubber, that locks the mechanism, period."
On Tuesday, Joe Torre, executive vice president for baseball operations, denied Maddon's protest.
Davidson stood by his decision after the game.
"I've got everything in front of me," he said. "I see Buehrle, he's on the rubber, and as I'm seeing Escobar getting ready from my judgment to get into the box, now I see Gibbons giving the thumbs up that he's coming out. So I thought, in my judgment, that it was in time to file a challenge on the play. I'm looking at Gibbons and he's coming out, and he's not a speed merchant, and I thought, it's on time. We want to get the play correct, that's what we're out here for, so that was my thinking on that."

- Title
- Microwave processing and permittivity measurement of thermoplastic composites at elevated temperature
- Author(s)
- Ku, H. S.; Ball, J. A. R.; Siores, E.; Horsfield, B.
- Abstract
- The material properties of greatest importance in microwave processing of a dielectric are the complex relative permittivity ε = ε′- jε″, and the loss tangent, tan δ = ε″/ ε′. The real part of the permittivity, ε′, sometimes called the dielectric constant, mostly determines how much of the incident energy is reflected at the air-sample interface, and how much enters the sample. This paper shows the reflection coefficient of a material and the depth of penetration of a dielectric. Therefore the larger the value of the real part of the complex permittivity, the more the incident energy will be reflected by a dielectric but the energy that enters the material will penetrate further than in a dielectric with the same ε″ but lower ε′. However, the most important property in microwave processing is the dielectric loss, ε″ which predicts the ability of the material to convert the penetrating energy into heat. Measurements of ε′ and ε″ are therefore critical in the microwave processing of materials with or without primer. The dielectric constant, ε′, dielectric loss, ε″, and hence complex relative permittivity, ε and loss tangent, tan δ, of some commonly used thermoplastics have been measured at various temperatures and frequencies. These results may be used to determine whether various fibre-reinforced thermoplastic (FRTP) composites are suitable for microwave processing. This paper describes a convenient laboratory based method to obtain ε′, ε″ and hence tan δ. The method employs a network analyser together with a waveguide transmission technique chosen because it provides the widest possible frequency range with high accuracy; the hardware and software of the method is also readily available in the electronic laboratory of the University of Southern Queensland. The required data were collected at a range of elevated temperatures and over a band of frequencies.

Model-View-Controller (MVC) is a widely used design pattern, especially popular in graphical user interface (GUI) programming. JDK 1.5 introduces parameterized types, or generics. Combining the two allows for a generic implementation of the MVC design pattern, freeing the programmer from writing code that handles the registration and notification of listeners, as well as from writing getter and setter methods for the properties of models. This article shows how this can be accomplished.
The ideas behind MVC are quite old, developed during the 1970s. The invention of MVC is attributed to Trygve Reenskaug, who was working at Xerox PARC at the time.
The idea is to break up an application into three parts:
A model that holds part of the current state of the application. In this article the state of a model is represented by a set of properties. A property is implemented as a getter and a setter method, as in the JavaBeans concept.
A view that is, for whatever reason, interested in knowing the current state of the application. A view registers itself with a model as a listener on the model. Whenever the state of a model changes, the model notifies its registered listeners. In GUI programming, a view often does nothing more than display the state of the model through some graphical component.
A controller that changes the properties of the model. When and how a controller changes a property is at the discretion of the controller. In GUI programming, a controller is often something that takes input from the user; for example, a button or a text field.
To illustrate, let's introduce a simple example. The example uses two simple models, a view, and three controllers. It is implemented using JFC/Swing, and is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. A simple MVC demo
This example is not meant to be a useful application at all; its only purpose is to show how generics can help to reduce the effort involved in writing applications based on the MVC design pattern.
The example is about a hit count and a temperature. The upper half of the window shows the view. The number shows the hit count, and the color symbolizes the temperature. The bottom half of the window shows the controllers. Whenever the user clicks on the "hit!" button, the hit count is incremented. Clicking on the "it's cold!" button makes the color in the view turn blue, while clicking "it's hot!" makes the color turn red.
The example uses two models, one for the hit count and one for the temperature. Let's have a look at the code for the handling of the temperature. Here is the code for the interface implemented by the view, the listener on the
public interface TemperatureModelListener
void temperatureModelChanged
(TemperatureModel temperatureModel);
And here is the code for the
TemperatureModel itself.
import java.util.*;
public class TemperatureModel
public enum Temperature {cold, hot};
private final List <TemperatureModelListener>
private Temperature temperature;
public TemperatureModel ()
= new ArrayList <TemperatureModelListener> ();
this.temperature = Temperature.cold;
public void addTemperatureModelListener
(final TemperatureModelListener temperatureModelListener)
if (! this.temperatureModelListeners.contains
(temperatureModelListener)) {
public void removeTemperatureModelListener
(final TemperatureModelListener temperatureModelListener)
public void setTemperature (final Temperature temperature)
this.temperature = temperature;
notifyTemperatureModelListeners ();
public Temperature getTemperature ()
return this.temperature;
private void notifyTemperatureModelListeners ()
for (final TemperatureModelListener temperatureModelListener
: this.temperatureModelListeners) {
notifyTemperatureModelListener (temperatureModelListener);
private void notifyTemperatureModelListener
(final TemperatureModelListener temperatureModelListener)
temperatureModelListener.temperatureModelChanged (this);
The controllers set the value of the temperature property. The view registers itself as a temperature listener with the temperature model. You can download the complete mvc-traditional.zip code example from the Resources section at the bottom of this article.
The code uses some features introduced in JDK 1.5. First there is the declaration of the
Temperature type:
enum Temperature {cold, hot}
This is an enumeration type with values
cold and
Then there are declarations, such as:
... List <...> ...
This is actually an instantiation of a generic type. See the next section for a brief explanation on generics.
Finally, the
notifyTemperatureModelListeners method contains an unfamiliar-looking
for loop of the form:
for (type variable : collection) { ... }
for loop simply iterates over all the values in the collection.
As is immediately clear from the listing above, the
TemperatureModel class is quite big,
considering the simplicity of the features it supports.
HitModel class is about the same size.
TemperatureModel and
HitModel classes are,
as you might expect, quite similar --
both have methods to add and remove listeners,
and both have methods to get and set the value of a property.
It is tedious to write and maintain code that is so similar.
Perhaps having only two models might not be a problem,
but a serious GUI application can have lots of models.
The question is then, how we can use generics to make our life easier? Let's first explain what generics are.
JDK 1.5 introduces parameterized types, or generics. One of their main advantages is increased type safety by eliminating the need for class casts.
The collection classes in the
java.util package have been
retrofitted with generic interfaces.
Thus, instead of writing:
final List stringList = new ArrayList ();
stringList.add ("hello");
// Ok, but may cause a runtime exception later on:
stringList.add (new Integer (1));
we can instead write:
final List <String> stringList = new ArrayList <String> ();
stringList.add ("hello");
// Not ok, compile time error:
stringList.add (new Integer (1));
For more information on generics in Java, see William Grosso's article "Generics and Method Objects" or the tutorial "Generics in the Java Programming Language" (PDF), by Gilad Bracha. You may want to consult JSR-014, which is the original proposal.
As stated before, the
TemperatureModel and
classes are quite similar. Let us first try to factor out the code that handles the listeners of a model.
Both the
TemperatureModelListener and
HitModelListener interfaces each have one method, both
of which do the same thing: notifying a listener about a change in
a model. The names of these methods differ, but apart from that
the only other difference is the type of their formal parameter:
TemperatureModel and
HitModel, respectively.
That is exactly what generics are all about, so here is the code for a generic listener.
public interface ModelListener <M>
void modelChanged (M model);
Although I do not like abbreviations, I use the generic formal type name
M here.
Using one-letter names for generic formal types is the convention, as explained in "Generics in the Java Programming Language" (PDF).
We then rewrite our listeners as shown below:
public interface TemperatureModelListener
extends ModelListener <TemperatureModel> { }
public interface HitModelListener
extends ModelListener <HitModel> { }
Both the
TemperatureModel and
HitModel classes manage
listeners. Again, the only significant difference is the type of the listeners.
So we might be tempted to write:
public class Model <L> ...
This, however, does not work, because the model makes a call to the listener's
modelChanged () method. We have to make sure that a model is instantiated not with just any type,
but with something that is a
ModelListener. In generic speak,
the formal type must be bound by
import java.util.*;
* A generic MVC model.
public class Model <L extends ModelListener>
private final List <L> listeners;
public Model ()
this.listeners = new ArrayList <L> ();
public void addModelListener (final L listener)
if (! this.listeners.contains (listener)) {
this.listeners.add (listener);
notifyModelListener (listener);
public void removeModelListener (final L listener)
this.listeners.remove (listener);
protected void notifyModelListeners ()
for (final L listener : this.listeners) {
notifyModelListener (listener);
protected void notifyModelListener (final L listener)
listener.modelChanged (this);
Being able to subclass this
Model considerably reduces the size of our models.
Shown below is the revised
public class TemperatureModel
extends Model <TemperatureModelListener>
public enum Temperature {cold, hot};
private Temperature temperature;
public TemperatureModel ()
this.temperature = Temperature.cold;
public void setTemperature
(final Temperature temperature)
this.temperature = temperature;
notifyModelListeners ();
public Temperature getTemperature ()
return this.temperature;
Some minor changes to the code of the client of our models are needed.
For example, instead of calling
we now call
The complete mvc-generic-model.zip example is available in
the Resources section below.
We managed to factor out the listener-handling code. This is an improvement, as it allows us to remove four methods from each model. But can we do better still? In fact, we can, because our two models still have quite a few things in common. Let's look at a generic property.
TemperatureModel has a
temperature attribute,
and the
HitModel has a
number attribute.
Apart from their types, the attributes are quite similar.
Again, this makes for a good candidate for a generic solution.
Our first attempt might look something like:
public class Property <T> ...
T stands for the type of the property.
However, the setter methods make a call to the model's
notifyModelListeners () method.
A property needs a reference to the model of which it is a property.
Thus, we might come up with something like the following:
public class Property <Model, T> ...
Model stands for the model of which the property is a property.
But there is a more elegant solution: make the
Property class
a non-static inner class of
Here is the code:
protected class Property <T>
private T value;
public Property (final T initialValue)
this.value = initialValue;
public void setValue (final T value)
this.value = value;
notifyModelListeners ();
public T getValue ()
return this.value;
This further reduces the size of our models.
Below is the final version of our
public class TemperatureModel extends
Model <TemperatureModelListener>
public enum Temperature {cold, hot};
public final Property <Temperature> temperature;
public TemperatureModel ()
= new Property <Temperature> (Temperature.cold);
At first glance, the declaration of the
temperature property seems to violate one
of the most basic rules of class design:
make instance variables private.
In this case, however, this is not an issue,
because the
temperature variable is declared
and the
temperature variable itself does not have any public
instance variables. Non-static inner classes model composition.
They can be seen as dynamic extension of object state.
If the object itself is public, then in general, there is no problem in its dynamic extensions being public, too.
For more information on inner classes, see the excellent "Nested Classes, Part 1," by Robert Simmons, Jr.
Client code involving properties needs some minor modifications:
e.g., instead of calling
we now make a call to
This example is available as mvc-general-property.zip in the
Resources section below.
Property class is very simple.
It allows a client to get and set the value, nothing more.
Sometimes, properties are a little more complicated.
What if, for example, the model imposes a constraint on the value of a property?
Constraints on the value of a property can be easily implemented by adding
a custom setter method to an anonymous subclass of the instantiation of the
Property class. For example, the code below shows how to limit the hit count of our
HitModel to a maximum of 10.
public class HitModel extends Model <HitModelListener>
public final Property <Integer> number;
public HitModel ()
= new Property <Integer> (0)
public void setValue (final Integer value)
super.setValue (Math.min (10, value));
At the start of this article, the
TemperatureModel class had
one constructor, four public methods, two private methods, and two private
instance variables. By making the
TemperatureModel class a subclass of the generic
Model class, we managed to reduce that to one constructor and one
public instance variable. That's progress!

text: August 13, 1990: NASA is releasing today a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photograph of the most remarkable star forming region in the Local Group of Galaxies, 30 Doradus. The photograph shows about 60 stars within a central tight cluster in 30 Doradus. In contrast, earlier photographs with ground-based telescopes, supplemented by mathematical analysis, have shown only 27 stars in the tight cluster, which is called R136. Before the ground-based studies showed that so many stars are present in R136, some astronomers thought it was a single, supermassive object, with as much as 3,000 times the mass of the Sun. This recent HST photograph shows even more individual stars within R136. Furthermore, its high resolution suggests that some of the stars have more than 100 times the mass of the Sun. That would make them among the most massive stars ever identified.See the rest:

If sex creates fear or anxiety for you, but you still engage in it, why?
Primary tabs
In my teenage years I was very active sexually, and I felt very unambiguously positive about sex. In the past couple years (I am in my mid twenties), I have struggled with anxiety and depression generally, and have also all but lost my zest for sex. My fiancee and I have taken a major step back from how sexually active we were in the first few years of our relationship. That has been a mutual decision, because she is a sexual assault survivor and stepping back has helped her to work through those feelings. Still, we both miss the intimacy and passion of a more active sex life, and we have both been quite frustrated by our attempts to rekindle our sex life, which seem never to go anywhere. When we do engage in sexual activity, I sometimes feel uncomfortable about the pleasure/physical aspect of it, but I do it anyway because I value the intimacy that it brings to our relationship.
What do I *not* feel anxious or fearful about?
Another possible option: *because I experience anxiety and fear about practically everything. This is a mental health issue, not a (or solely) sexual issue for some people. But maybe the word "creates" is key here. In the cases I'm talking about, sex (or the sex I'm trying to have right now) didn't *create* the anxiety. I feel anxious (about heights) going out to enjoy the view on the top floor of a building . . . but I try to work through it. I feel anxious in cars . . . but I'm not satisfied with just not going anywhere. I often experience less generalized anxiety (for an extended period of time - days even) when I have good sex, so maybe "the positives it gives me are worth it". :)
This is a very interesting poll. I am an adult, so I did not vote.
I had a fear of sex or any
I had a fear of sex or any kind of penetration for most of my ;life, but with the help of a good therapist and a patient partner I'm starting to get over it. I engage in sex with my partner because I want to conquer my fear. However I started out slow (at first just having a finger or tampon inside was scary and painful) but I've managed to work my way up. I enjoy other forms of sex, and love being intimate with my partner so I don't mind conquering my fear of intercourse because I feel it will be worse it in the end. the most important thing is that this is something I want and I decided, and I wasn't pressured into.
Asexual with a sexual partner
I am not a huge fan of sex, and I've come to realize I am asexual. I could do with having sex once a month-- ovulation makes me horny and to quell the irritating horniness, sex helps. Otherwise, not interested. My partner however is a very sexual person. We compromised: we have sex once or twice a week, but I have complete control over when (so I can be as "in the mood" as possible and not start to completely resent it or him). He gets more of the sex he needs, while I get the control I need to be able to tolerate it. It's working well for us so far-- 3 years.
A bit late, but
Your reply gives me hope. :) I'm asexual - same way, too; ovulation makes me horny. I've recently realized I do want a romantic relationship, but I've been rather terrified that no sexual person would ever be able to stand being in a relationship with me.
Knowing at least one couple out there's been able to find a good working compromise - you may have just given me the courage I need to really start dating. Thank you.
differing types of asexuality
I'm asexual too. My partner and have only had sex a few times (maybe 15ish times) in the entire 5 and a half years we have been together. He is sexual but really supports me and wants me to feel as comfortable as possible, though I tend to feel bad because I could literally go years without sex and not want to in the least. Also I am on the pill so I don't ovulate so I don't experience arousal because of it. The past two weeks we have had sex maybe 4 times, which is a record for us lol. Sometimes it is tricky navigating sexual relationships when you are asexual but it definitely can be done. Personally I have nearly a complete aversion to sex, I really don't like it and the only times I have had sex were because I really didn't care either way but I knew he would like it, but many asexual people do like sex.
I identify as asexual and was
I identify as asexual and was totally sex-repulsed initially. I put a lot of effort into becoming comfortable with sexually explicit material, then some light sexual activity, and eventually full intercourse. It was tough at times but my boyfriend has been very supportive. It's been two years, I'd consider our sex life good, and though I don't think I'll ever have "normal" feelings about sex/sexual attraction, I am comfortable enough to enjoy sex with him. Just remember: communication is key.
Sex is one of those things my anxiety and depression attack me over. I enjoy it but I think so much about how I am not good enough at it. I worry about doing certain things to please him because I think I'll be bad at it. I think I'm too ugly or fat or unable to deserve it. However, I know that's my demon. I make myself beat it. I have a loving boyfriend who I don't know sometimes if he realizes how ill I can be but he does try. It's like any other social situation with my anxiety, I have to throw myself into the fire for it to get better. Because then you realize it is not bad. Once you are ready for it, it's this giant fulfilling moment of pleasure that you get just because you are a human. It's amazing.
I was molested when I was 9,
I was molested when I was 9, and I'm just now in therapy and telling people about it for the first time (I'm 20 now). Sex still freaks me out, but I'm working through it and able to have sex with my fiance now, although sometimes I have to ask him to stop to let me breathe for a second. Progress!
it will get better
Hi, I'm 22 male, and me and my girlfriend starting having sex about three months ago, she is 21, and was raped when she was 17, by her then boyfriend. She started therapy about a month ago, and from our first time on its been hit and miss, I do anything I can to keep her calm and make it an enjoyable experience for her. However sometimes I say something wrong or she has what I call "flashbacks" when she confuses me for him. At that point she freezes up and I step away as fast as possible, and give her the space she needs; but I'm still right there for her when she says its ok to touch her again. Its been a long process for us, it started out as about one in three times she couldn't go through with it, and now between the therapy and slowly starting to associate sex with fun/pleasure its gotten a lot better, about one in twenty now. The way I figure it will never be 100% pleasure for her, but I want to make it as much as possible. We have made a lot of progress, and I feel like we can still do some more, between doing what she wants, and therapy it can get a lot better.
Religious Upbringing
My anxiety stems from my religious upbringing and all the pressure that is put on staying pure until marriage. I am not actually against sex before marriage, but the thought that it is "wrong" and "sinful" is always lingering in the back of my mind.
gender issues
"some other reason" for me is gender dysphoria. I want to have sex, and I enjoy it, but sex creates a lot of gender dysphoria based anxiety for me. If I avoided that anxiety, I'd never have sex, and I'd just rather face the dysphoria and anxiety than avoid sex all together. It's nerve-wracking though.
