The Mock Interview Program allows undergraduate students and alumni the opportunity to practice interview skills and receive feedback in a safe, supportive environment.Mock interviews are a "dress rehearsal" for an actual interview, and require special arrangements with the CCC. The first 20–30 minutes will be a simulated interview experience, and the remaining 20–30 minutes will be dedicated to feedback and coaching.
Before scheduling a mock interview, you will need to know the basics for strong interviewing and how to prepare. Review our interview tips and prepare as you would for a real interview. If this is your first experience with a professional interview, you might consider scheduling a career counseling appointment for coaching prior to scheduling a mock interview.
Make an appointment by contacting the CCC, and specify that you would like a "mock interview appointment," as special arrangements need to be made.
Email your résumé and the job description that you are preparing to interview for to the CCC at firstname.lastname@example.com at least two business days prior to your appointment so that the interviewer will have time to prepare specific questions.
On the day of your mock interview wear professional attire, bring a hard copy of your résumé and arrive as you would for an actual interview. The interviewer will treat you as if they are the recruiter, so be on your toes from the start!
Note: If you would like to record your interview, please bring a USB drive with 4 GB of available memory to your appointment. You may also choose to record your interview on your own mobile device, such as your cell phone.

The new year has started off on the right foot for a lot of investors and companies, with the S&P 500 rising in seven of the first eight trading sessions. Speculation is high that the earnings bar has been set too low and that many companies will simply walk over Wall Street's estimates. If only it were that easy for software licensing firms.
Three weeks ago, software licensing juggernaut Oracle
Fast-forwarding to last night, JDA Software
JDA's guidance was just preliminary -- it will report full results later this month. But it could point to a greater problem beyond the software sector.
JDA CEO Hamish Brewer has speculated that weakened spending from North American retailers is the primary reason for the revenue shortfall. As Mr. Brewer postulated during last night's conference call, retailers may have begun cutting back orders dramatically in the final weeks of 2011 because already-depressed margins were going to come in even lower than expected if they didn't cut expenses. Mr. Brewer believes that a trend toward purchasing over the Internet and by smartphone may have driven business out of traditional retailers this holiday season.
While last night's news certainly isn't good for JDA, it could be crippling for an already aching retail sector. Just last week, J.C. Penney
With many retailers left to report critical fourth-quarter results, it remains to be seen if JDA's and Oracle's earnings warnings are sector events, or if they point to an even bigger issue with North American retailers. Either way, it's a trend worth keeping a close eye on this quarter.
What's your take on JDA Software's warning? Is this a problem with software licensors, or is there a bigger problem yet to be uncovered?

I just saw that my last post was Nov. 3rd, and now it's a week until Christmas. Not sure how that happened. Well, I kind of do. Nov. 17th was the Christmas vintage show I'd been working on, and preparing for that was consuming all my spare time, not to mention my mental energy. I just don't do them often enough to be casual about them. Here are some pics I took before the show started and the chaos began!
It went well, but what a relief to have it over with!
After that my focus turned to waiting for, and then being in San Francisco for a scary surgery my sister had to have. I'm so grateful that it went well, we couldn't have received a better Christmas present. It's so good to be home again, and it looks like my sister will be home in time for Christmas as well, and I couldn't be more grateful. Things like this certainly put things in perspective, even more so at this time of year.
I hope you all have a happy and healthy Christmas with your loved ones!

The results of a clinical study show that 'Computer Intuition' can predict clinical results. - CBCD
Rochester, NY (PRWEB) December 22, 2013
The answer to the pharmaceutical industry's R&D productivity crisis, according to Index Ventures David Grainger, is drug developers "who think like the CEOs of lean startups, and excel specifically at "cutting out superfluous experiments," and possess the "ability to incisively choose the 'best' minimum set of experiments that yield the maximum predictive power available for the least dollars (1)." In short, the article proposes hiring developers with great intuition. The article continues and suggests boosting their intuition by requiring the developers to have 'skin in the game,' such as "literally committing several years of their own careers, potentially, to the specific project they endorse (1)."
In other words, Mr. Grainger believes the answer to the pharmaceutical R&D productivity crisis are companies that employ scientists who use superior intuition, and as a result conduct early stage experiments that provide great predictive power.
The CBCD agrees in principle with this proposal. However, it's not new and as described, has drawbacks. How does a pharmaceutical company find these human 'rock star' drug developers who "can offer the exact skills your problem requires (1)?" Under this proposal, a pharmaceutical executive would have to "embrace uncertainty and the need to make imperfect decisions under conditions of incomplete information, and to not just accept but really own a very high failure rate (1)."
The CBCD would like to suggest another method of boosting the developer's intuition, which is more practical, tested, and proven. This technology is called 'Computer Intuition.'
What is 'Computer Intuition'?
Computer Intuition is a psycholinguistic-based data-mining program that analyzes scientific text and provides an ultra-cost-effective and proven predictive power. Computer Intuition helps scientists make better decisions with a high success rate.
In September 2013, the medical journal Pharmacology & Pharmacy, in a special edition on Advances in Antiviral Drugs, published a clinical study, which showed that the dietary supplement Gene-Eden-VIR is safe and effective. Gene-Eden-VIR was developed using 'Computer Intuition.' The results of this clinical study show that 'Computer Intuition' can predict clinical results.
"In 1996…a prototype of a psycholinguistic-based data-mining program that analyzes scientific text and assigns a rating to all ideas found in the text" was completed (2). "The higher the rating, the more ('Computer Intuition') hints at future events (2)."
"The following is a description of one prospective application of Computer Intuition. In 1995, Frederiksen published a paper entitled: Diagnostic Imaging in Dental Implantology. At the time, Frederiksen was one of the world leading experts on the subject. To test the pre-dictive power of the Computer Intuition analysis, Almog and Heisler from the University of Rochester devised a test. They conducted a Medline search for papers published between 1980 and 1996 using keywords relevant to the subject of diagnostics, imaging, and dental implantology.
The search identified 34 papers. The content of these papers was analyzed with Computer Intuition. The analysis produced three ideas. Two ideas were identical to the main conclusions described in Frederik-sen's paper. This, by itself, was an impressive achievement. By using Computer Intuition, Almog and Heisler duplicated the results of a world leading expert quickly and inexpensively. However, while it took Frederiksen decades to build his expertise, Almog and Heisler acquired similar expertise within weeks (2)."
The authors of the study went on to note that the third idea suggested by Computer Intuition was a new technology. "This technology was not mentioned in Frederiksen's paper. The three ideas were published in 1997. How predictive was the Computer Intuition analysis? In 2006, Almog, Frederiksen, and four colleagues, published a survey of the academic and commercial field of diagnostic imaging in oral implantology. In their paper, they reported an interesting observation.
Beginning in 2000, three years after the publication of the Computer Intuition paper, 'numerous companies from technology-transfer and commercial standpoint have introduced technology platforms that offer planning and guidance systems to facilitate dental implant placement procedures', the same technology proposed by the third idea three years earlier (2)."
The CBCD invites pharmaceutical executives to contact the Center to learn more about 'Computer Intuition' and how this forward thinking technology can help provide higher returns on investment, and be implemented as part of their R&D efforts.
We invite the media to contact us for interviews at: info (at)buy-gene-eden(dot)com or phone 585-250-9999.

The Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD, http://www.cbcd.net) is a research center recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) non-for-profit organization. The mission of the CBCD is to advance the research on the biology of chronic diseases, and to accelerate the discovery of treatments.
The CBCD published the "Purple" book by Dr. Hanan Polansky. The book presents Dr. Polansky's highly acclaimed scientific theory on the relationship between foreign DNA and the onset of chronic diseases. Dr. Polansky's book is available as a free download from the CBCD website.

The European Commission, supposedly under pressure from PND makers, is considering imposing a 14 percent import tax on mobile phones that feature GPS or TV tuners. Ultimately this could raise the price of owning a GPS-equipped mobile phone up to 25 percent in Europe.
From The Industry Standard:
"Some mobile phones have many functions these days – personal digital assistant, mobile telephony, a camera, GPS, radio, television. It would be more appropriate to refer to these as 'apparatus with multiple functions, including mobile telephony' as they are more than just 'mobile phones'," said the European Commission.
The European Information and Communications Technology Association is opposed to the tax, and no surprise here–members include Apple, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, and LG Electronics. None of the major GPS manufacturers including Europe-based TomTom are members of the association.
If the tax was imposed I'm not sure exactly how the money would be distributed–if it goes through at all. I could see something like this being a long, drawn out process. The details are sketchy at the moment so I've fired off an email to the association, though I'm not counting on a response!

Keeneland is known worldwide for its state-of-the-art horse-racing facilities and meticulously kept grounds. What is less known is the attention to detail the staff takes to make each trip to Keeneland a family-friendly affair.
Julie Balog, director of communications, said that it is part of Keeneland's mission to cultivate a generation of new fans. This is accomplished through including children in as many activities around the grounds as possible during spring and fall meets.
Families with small children might find Sunday afternoons most enjoyable at Keeneland, Balog said, because the smaller crowds make navigating strollers and keeping tabs on small children more manageable and enjoyable.
Keeneland welcomes families with children of all ages as the majority of Keeneland's grounds and facilities are family friendly. But always, when in doubt, ask permission, she said.
Here is a list of kid-friendly activities Keeneland offers this spring during its meet, which runs through April 27.
Kids Club and Buckles
Kids Club is new. Young fans 12 and younger can sign up for a free membership and will receive a personalized membership pass, birthday card from Kids Club mascot Buckles, a Keeneland coloring book and crayons, discounts, invitations to exclusive Kids Club events and more.
Register online at Keeneland.com or Saturdays during the meet at Breakfast with the Works.
Breakfast with the Works
From 7 to 8:30 a.m. on Saturdays during the meet, Keeneland offers a family-friendly breakfast option. The Equestrian Dining Room welcomes hungry fans with a Kentucky breakfast for $7. Kids 3 and younger eat free.
On a typical Saturday, more than 1,000 people will eat breakfast at the track, Balog said. Reservations are neither needed nor taken.
During breakfast kids can:
■ Watch the Thoroughbreds get their morning workout before the big race.
■ Learn more about horse racing with ongoing trackside commentary.
■ Enjoy free activities: have their face painted; get their photo taken in mini jockey silks (photos ready to take home that day); pin the tail on the donkey; and magic demonstrations.
A Breakfast with the Works purchase is not necessary to participate in activities.
Saturdays after breakfast
The paddock area is bustling with activity after breakfast. Depending on the day, kids can meet and interact with professionals in the horse industry: equine dentists, blacksmiths and horse farm owners. These industry professionals offer free demonstrations and a question-and-answer time.
From 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., children will be able to meet a true Keeneland icon: Buckey the Bugler. Buckey will be at the Winners Circle for an hourlong photo opportunity and meet-and-greet. Additionally, photos will be uploaded to Facebook where fans can tag themselves for friends and family to see.
From 12:05 to 12:25 p.m., jockeys are in the paddock area answering questions and meeting fans.
Around the grounds
Here are a few things to remember while at Keeneland.
■ Horses always have the right of way. Children should stay close to an adult at all times and not use sudden movements (running, rough play, etc.), which can easily spook the young horses.
■ The barn area is open to the public. Families are asked to not bring strollers into the barn area or use flash photography.
■ The North Terrace is a perfect location for families to spread out and enjoy the races. Keeneland welcomes families to bring blankets or lawn chairs, but please refrain from bringing outside food or drink.
Special features
■ The educational aspect of horse racing and the history of Keeneland are now at fans' fingertips. With smartphones, kids will love hunting around the property for QR codes (those square barcodes popping up everywhere nowadays). Just scanning the code with your phone will take you directly to a specific Web page. QR codes can be found at the South Gate, Winners Circle and Jockey Garden, and will give kids and adults alike an interactive and educational self-guided tour.
■ Children are welcome to a free coloring book and crayons at the guest services area anytime during the meet.

And... we're off!!
The heated grips I installed weren't needed due to the unseasonably balmy weather we've enjoyed since Sunday when the temperature hit 21.5C.
This morning it was cool. I switched the grips on to a low-ish setting, just because I could. So there, global warming, take that!
In two years of commuting on my scooter this was my first experience with fog. The fog was rolling in from Lake St-Louis, and was at times quite heavy. The main concern with the fog, aside from the obvious challenge of seeing and being seen, was that my visor fogged. It was so troublesome that I had no other option than to ride with the visor up.
Given the warm temperature, it wasn't a problem.
This morning I am also sporting my new Icon Patrol boots.
The season begins with 10,778 miles on the clock. I mention it just so I can record it here in case I'm wondering later on how many miles I will have logged this season.
5 comments:
Nice temperatures already, while we got snow this morning (had a flashback of being back in Calgary for a bit).ReplyDelete
Let the scooter season begin! Safe riding.
Yay, scooter season.ReplyDelete
I bet those warm temperatures are welcome. We're still waiting for ours, but they will arrive sometime, I know it.
Those look like good boots. Were they comfy?
I'm had to drive in fog on the way home at night a few times. My visor also fogged up. I know there is some spray or something to prevent it...however I normally just tuck a small towel under the windscreen and use it at stops.ReplyDelete
minus -1°c this morning. Had to scrap all the windows. Some hail yesterday and freezing again tonight. glad to see it warm, somewhere . . .
We'll rub it in the next time our weather fortunes reverse. for now, we'll keep quiet
happy scooting
Riding the Wet Coast
I think you are very wise to take it easy until you get your "game" back, or as you said, your "sea legs back." Every Spring here there is a rash of accidents involving motorcycles. I'm sure some of it is cagers getting used to looking out for riders again, but I think most of it is rusty reflexes.ReplyDelete
A secret between you and me...I'm amazed at how often I turn on my heated grips now that I have them. It is so wonderful.
Be safe and keep riding smart.

There is a time and season for everything, and everything has a purpose it's in time. Yet, time and it's great race run in the hand of God is created with patterns, rhythms and seasons, so Ecclesiastes tells us there is a time to live and a time to die. The seasons turn.
As Galadriel says in a voice over at the beginning of The Fellowship of the Ring (movie), "The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost; for none now live who remember it."
Like pages in a book, the seasons turn, and nothing can prevent a new leaf from happening. Some wear change on our shoulders, sometimes like the burden of time. Others hold the season of life in their wrinkled faces, the revelation that time has worn it's way throughout their being.
Who can deny this? Perhaps in America, where people seem to think death does not happen, and we are shocked when it does. In a nation where we cure disease, and fix what is wrong, we stare at the sky shocked when we realize we are not God, that we are finite, and that everything has its time.
Seasons are speaking from our souls if we will listen. Something inside of us even has to die so that something new can be born again. And if our souls hold violently to what was, how can we accept what is? If only living were as easy as such pithy statements as "let go and let God."
"Let go? Of what was? I might lose myself for all that I know is what was."
And true, the pith statements sometimes are a bit cliche, especially when they sound romantic, but the seasons must change, and we must continue. Like a leaf hanging from a tree, falling to the ground, only to be crushed by the foot that walks upon it. Under each crunch heard on an Autumn walk is something fading into the dust, "for to dust you shall return." This allows life to be life.
To flourish in the spring. To dance through the summer. To tremble in a violent vulnerability in the Autumn. To feel the cold sting of Winter, death and all its friends.
Yet, we are not alone. We are found among our suffering friends if we will but look and see the lines on their faces, and the sorrow or joy in their eyes. Perhaps it is a mingling of both joy and sorrow, the tension of humanity and Heaven written into our eyes. For this is who we are. We are eternal. And all of us, every part of us lives in these seasons. Each in its time.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Look backward. Feel the present. Onward. The saga continues on. One season. Turning. Like pages. We are writing with our lives. Pages to be read. These seasons of life.

Br Peter Bray speaking at NSW Ecumenical Council
23 February 2017
On Thursday evening, whilst protests were held in the Sydney CBD to the visit of Prime Minister of Israel's visit to Australia, another group met to hear Br Peter Bray speak on life in Bethlehem.
Brother Peter Bray, FSC, EdD is the 8th Vice Chancellor of Bethlehem University, the first university established in Palestine and the only Catholic university in the Holy Land.
Br Peter is a De La Salle Brother. The De La Salle Brothers specifically are concerned with meeting the educational and welfare needs of young people, especially the poor.
Brother Peter assumed leadership of Bethlehem University in February 2009 and brings more than 30 years of Catholic education experience as a teacher, consultant, administrator, and expert in leadership and educational systems.
A New Zealander by birth, Br Peter has spent the last x years in Bethlehem helping lead what some call an 'oasis of peace' for a community living under the military control of Israel.
The event was organised by the Palestine Israel Network and hosted by the NSW Ecumenical Council.

Report: 93% of Online Merchants Experience Cross-Border Profitability
By D.J. Murphy, Editor-in-Chief, CardNotPresent.com
As the Internet evolved into a selling tool, its potential to allow retailers to reach international markets they never before thought of selling into became apparent. The ultimate promise of e-commerce became a world without borders. In reality, there's no such thing. Differences in currency, culture, communication and regulation make operating an e-commerce business across borders daunting. But, the opportunity to sell their goods and services to new markets made up of billions of potential new customers can make navigating those challenges worth the effort.
A new report based on a recent survey describes the current environment facing cross-border aspirants in each of the major regions worldwide and confirmed the notion that, for companies that make the leap, cross-border e-commerce is very profitable. Dutch PSP Payvision partnered with CardNotPresent.com to poll nearly 500 online merchants, acquirers, MSPs, ISOs and PSPs to gauge their experiences and perceptions about cross-border e-commerce. Significantly, half of the survey's merchant respondents already engage in cross-border e-commerce. And, for more than 93 percent of those merchants, the strategy has proven profitable. In addition to the headline number, the paper's analysis concluded that the road to cross-border e-commerce profitability depends on partnering with a global acquirer.
E-Commerce Retailers Aim at Europe
For merchants selling or planning to sell internationally and the vendors that serve them, the survey found 73 percent wish to do so in Europe, the most popular region for cross-border e-commerce. North America is the second-most popular region, with nearly 60 percent of companies focusing their cross-border efforts there, followed by Asia Pacific (50.8 percent), Latin America/Caribbean (47.5 percent) and Africa (23 percent). According to the survey, selling into a country that shares a language with an online retailer is a more important factor in cross-border success than selling to geographic neighbors. More than 70 percent of all respondents believe that sharing a common language is a stronger business driver than sharing a common border. To that end, 67 percent claim partnering with local business partners which speak the language of the region and whose sales team understands the local preferences and culture, will lead to profitable cross-border e-commerce.
Many of the survey highlights showed how retailers and service providers perceive the complexity of operating across borders. More than half of respondents either strongly agreed or agreed with the statement that it is complex to provide consumers with a wide variety of online payment methods. Around the same number felt setting up a support center with the ability to meet multilingual customer expectations is complex.
Merchants Should Lean on Global Acquiring Network
Given the complexity shown in the survey, but taking into consideration the potential profitability of implementing a cross-border e-commerce strategy, the analysis contained in the survey report concludes that a strategy employed in Europe will benefit businesses globally. In the "connect-and-grow" business model e-commerce profits are shared by various stakeholders within a global acquiring network of regional acquiring banks and international payment service providers connected to one global card processor. The report said ultimately the model will provide the best value proposition for consumers and the various commercial interests.
In North America, meanwhile, the survey found merchants lack awareness of the payments ecosystem they need to use to operate overseas.
"Interestingly," the report said, "44.2 percent of the merchants questioned in this survey admitted that they do not know whether the ISO [that] handles their card payments is connected to acquiring banks in the foreign regions in which they sell their products and services. Seventy-six percent of the respondents who do not know are located in the USA or in Canada."
By estimates quoted in the report, in 2012, cross-border B2C e-commerce sales reached $300 billion, while global B2C online sales volume is estimated to exceed $1 trillion by the end of this year. Online shopping paid via mobile devices is becoming increasingly popular, as a growing percentage of consumers carry their mobile phones in their pockets 24/7. Internet penetration is still increasing in developing, emerging and mature markets. Given these figures, it becomes almost a necessity for e-commerce retailers to look outside their borders.
"Cross-border ecommerce is more intricate than domestic e-trade," the report said. "But, once key requirements are met, the business opportunities presented by profitable expansion into emerging markets are well worth the investments."
A free copy of the survey can be downloaded here . Payvision and CardNotPresent.com are conducting a Webinar that will examine the results in more detail on Thursday, Oct. 24 at 1 p.m. ET. Register for the Webinar here .

So my relationship of 4 years is kind of on the line right now...I'm a very sexual person, and my fiancé is not. She's ok with having a healthy amount of sex, which is why we've worked well so far, but we've realized we have a bit of a problem.
Having some size troubles, and could use advice/suggestions
It physically hurts her to have sex with me. She's a slightly more petite woman, and I'm...not exactly small. Normally I'd just say maybe we should call it if we're not sexually compatible, but there have been times when it doesn't hurt too, so I'm trying to figure out if there's anything I can do to make sure that it hurts as infrequently as possible.
As it sits, I plan on trying a few different positions, being more gentle, and focusing on foreplay more, as well as using lube...but I'll take any extra advice or suggestions I can at this point.

Being more gentle and focusing on foreplay more is going to reduce her pleasure from sex (even though it hurts her), which will long term lead to her not being "ok with having a healthy amount of sex".
You haven't said that it's your girth or your length that's a problem here.
If it's your length: that's easy to fix. It causes most women pain if you enter so deep that you hit their cervix, so you just have to find positions which are more shallow. (Hint: anything with her knees up / waist bent is bad, because that posture shortens her vagina, meaning you will hit the cervix if you are long - if her body is straight, this should normally be OK, also take a look at the position called 'Svengali' on this forum, there's a thread about it...)
If it's your width: that's going to be a permanent problem. Though it's quite surprising, because most women can take a wide dick - after all, eventually a baby has to come out of there.... In this case the only thing you can do is make sure she is really wet before entering her - I'm sure you are doing that already. I had a very petite Persian/Indian girlfriend once who looked at me the first time I took my pants down and said "we're going to have a problem" but in the end it was always totally OK once she was wet enough. If you're using condoms, use a thin type like Mates Skyn - they have a blue variety with extra lube (or similar product in your country - this is what we have here in Europe, and they're good).
Long term, people joke that as women get older they get looser, but in my experience that's not the case, they stay pretty much the same size - at least for next 20 years, I wouldn't know after that Having babies makes a difference assuming they don't have the baby by C section, but not as much as you might think, it also depends on how toned they are generally.
If your girlfriend is very active physically - runner, gymnast, dancer, etc with strong core muscles - all that activity is probably going to make her tighter just due to general muscle tone in that area, so as the years go by your problem may reduce if she loses some of her fitness.
Her monthly cycle can also make a significant difference, hormone levels affect a lot of stuff down there, like the amount of lubrication she makes, blood flow, sensation, maybe even the position of her bones (for some women, pubic bone / pelvis get softer and open out when hormone levels are high). You mentioned you two don't have problems sometimes, do you think it can be connected with her monthly cycle? Maybe keep a diary to figure it out, she might not know herself.
Having said all that, personally, as an older man to a younger man, I would actually recommend you end this soon. (Obviously I'm a total stranger on an internet forum, so don't place too much weight on this... but maybe it's easier for me, as a stranger, to give you the objective advice that you truly need.)
You say she is your fiance. Getting married will not magically fix any problems you currently have, if anything it will make them worse because you will realise you are trapped with them for the rest of your life, or very many years at least. Basically, are you happy to buy in to your current sexual problems long term? Your first sentence in your post suggested it's not just the pain thing, there is also a difference in levels of interest in sex. You need to think about your other girlfriends in the past, and why sex was better with them, and what about this girl is so much better than the others that you want to marry her.
I would say sex is a very important part of marriage, maybe the most important after whether you can stand to live together in the same house. It's fundamental to marriage that you are committing to have sex with this partner and no other. So it's reasonable to expect the sex to be good, and dangerous to marry if you know the sex is problematic, because that is going to lead to long term unhappiness and frustration.
Young guys aged 22-32 often think when they have their first serious girlfriend "this is the one, therefore I should marry her". It's the same scarcity mentality that causes beta guys to settle with average girls. Guys who think like this are not taking into account that, if you don't marry this girl, they will eventually feel that way about someone else, and probably sooner than they think. Every girl aged around late 20s, early 30s who isn't married yet is thinking all the time about who she might marry, the focus of her social life is on almost nothing else, so naturally if you are dating a girl who is that age and your relationship is generally going wwell, it's going to seem to her, to her family and your family and friends, that you two should get married. Early marriage is not necessarily the best thing for the guy.
We guys are not under the same pressure to marry. In the modern era we can have very satisfying relationships from let's say our age 25 to 40 without having to get married at all, you can live together with a girl and have all the benefits of a stable relationship without the long term commitment of marriage and kids. This also means you have more choice. I'm now in my 40s. If I think about my most dominant guy friends - the ones my female friends mostly found most attractive - the three most dominant all had a series of good relationships through their 20s and 30s, then all married around the age of 40, marrying a girl who was typically 8-10 years younger, very very attractive, very attracted to her husband, because she also felt she had a 'catch' who no other woman had succeeded in landing. All three now have very stable, happy marriages, they are also able to keep the correct amount of dominance in their marriage because of being older and going into the relationship on that basis, so their wives are very content, you never see these couples arguing etc or having the kind of shit other couples have. Also generally these guys who marry older have more money by the time they marry - for example they bought a house 10 years ago and they have paid off half the mortgage already - so they don't have the financial problems that families with young kids usually have.
Of course these things also depend on your culture, your own family, your personal values etc.
Use more lube with her especially if she likes anal or wants to try new positions. The more wet you make her the better it will be and less it will hurt for her.

Encourage her to solve the problem, you are her couple, not her dad, so, if she hurts, she must learn her body and lead you to the prelude, positions, etc.
I do not agree with the other answers, it is not on you but on her to tell you.

PD Warrior Is A Game-Changer In The Fight Against Parkinson's Disease.
PD Warrior is a unique therapy approach designed to help build confidence, improve mobility and help people fight the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease. Physiotherapy treatment helps diagnosed clients maintain balance and mobility, allowing them to move with more ease and assurance. PD Warrior offers hope that there is life after diagnosis.
What Is PD Warrior And How Do I Start?
- PD Warrior is a physiotherapy treatment for Parkinson's Disease. The programme starts with an initial assessment session with our physiotherapist. At the next session, we start to teach the program exercises and when clients are confident with the exercises they go on to the ten-week challenge either individually or as part of a group. If they choose to do this as a group, they can join the PD Warrior circuit class which runs weekly.
- The weekly group exercise programme combines high effort, intensive workouts with a challenging combination of movements and mental strategy. It's loads of fun and there's lots of variety to keep people engaged. Participants connect with like-minded people who want help to fight their symptoms.
Why Does PD Warrior Work?
PD Warrior helps to use the brain's natural ability to protect itself and create more efficient pathways in the brain, essentially rewiring the brain. Recent evidence has shown that exercise is essential in providing a comprehensive solution for patients with Parkinson's. Therefore, for Parkinson's Disease physiotherapy treatments can be an effective measure for fighting the symptoms of Parkinson's. Naturally the results are different and can vary from person to person.
Better results are possible by treating people early after diagnosis with intensive, big-movement exercise strategies. Results from PD Warrior show an improvement in the quality of life and self-efficacy, depression, tiredness and bodily discomfort, compared to patients who take medication alone.
Val's PD Warrior Story
Val has been coming to PD Warrior since March 2014. The biggest impact Parkinson's Disease had on her was the little things in daily life – not being able to open jars and lids, not being able to put her earrings in and the slowness of her movements. Val's Parkinson's Disease diagnosis showed that 80% of her dopamine-producing cells had gone.
Yet after going through our PD Warrior programme, she has seen measurable progress with her symptoms and since:
- She's walked up Conical Hill
- She cleaned her car which she hadn't done in a long time,
- She can spend longer in the garden,
- She can put her earrings in her ears,
- And arguably the change that most people comment on is her voice – now Val's voice is stronger where it had become very quiet.
For Val, PD Warrior gives her hope.
You or your loved ones can contact us or visit our clinics and ask about PD Warrior, our physiotherapy treatment for Parkinson's disease.

The flow of new legislation reflecting the new dominant legislative culture is, well, choose your adjective. Some radical stuff lurks. And then there's just eventful stuff. At random this morning:
* REDEFINING LIFE: Rep. Justin Harris, who taxpayers support with payments to his religious daycare center, has a bill to redefine the definition of "child" to the time a fetal hearbeat can be detected. This is for the purpose — in this bill — of allowing child abuse charges to be brought over fetal abuse, such as, presumably, drug or alcohol use. Though this bill might be narrow in purpose — wow. Once this definition works into the legal code, what next? Isn't a child in line for inheritance? For a tax deduction? And so on.
* MORE MONEY FOR BILLIONAIRES: Another piece of the Billionaire Boys Club charter school agenda popped up this week. It opens the door to construction money for charter schools, the quasi-private schools funded with public money often operated by profit-making entities without democratically elected supervision. It's part of a package that includes removing charter schools from strong state oversight. The bill appears tailored to favor, particularly, the KIPP schools, some of the better charter schools but also organizattions favored already with significant support by Walton and other billionaire money. I guess now that they've put in the venture capital, it's time for taxpayers to take over, including building new buildings to entice students from existing public schools.
* SCHOOL CHOICE: Sen. Joyce Elliott has filed the bill backed by school administrators to repeal the current "school choice" act and replace it with one hoped to pass federal court muster. It would allow transfers for educational (not athletic) reasons, but also allow districts to consider the state's commitment to cure a dual system of education from the segregation days. But it wouldn't have a specific ban on transfers based on racial percentages of the sending and receiving school district. Good bill. Waltons and other billionaires don't like it. I wrote about this recently.
* ETHICS: Sen. Bruce Maloch ad Rep. Warwick Sabin have introduced legislation to prohibit multiple campaign contributions from corporate entities controlled by the same person. Call it the Jim Lindsey Memorial Act. Should it be so easy to evade campaign limits by creating multiple LLCs to max out? No? Will the Republican majority vote for good government? We'll see.

Based on that we were able to prepare our decisions. we realized there were many things which we could not have caught as he did his detailed examination and inspection. So, for the second time we requested his services again. this time again he did a marvelous job in conducting through inspection which led us to purchase the property. Ia m glad we chose his services and will recommend others as well. Thanks alot Mr. Jaret for your services. Tourent Inspections

Mr. Jaret Dutour was on time for his appointment. He went to work right away. His report was issued later the same day. He also made time for a phone call to answer my questions about the report.

Great service , Professional and courteous
Jaret was fantastic. He walked through and provided great feedback as he inspected. Would definetly recommend. 5 star
Fast, Effective and Friendly
Jaret attended our house to inspect our home exterior. He was very pleasant and professional. He did a thorough review of the entire premise while taking photographs and notes. He even went underneath the house into a crawl space in an effort to ensure the inspection was accurate and meticulous. Once completed, he sent us a detailed and all inclusive report including photographs entailing the specific weak points of the exterior. We are exceptionally pleased at the fast and efficient service we received and we will definitely be using Jaret in the future for all of our home inspection needs. As a former Realtor, I really appreciate a reliable and trustworthy Home Inspector as they are hard to come by. If you are considering booking with Jaret I would recommend him 200%. Thank you, Jaret!
Very thorough and detailed
We were impressed by the detailed work that Jared provided. It was a bit of a mixup for him at first, since there was a communication problem with the realtor, and the owners weren't expecting us. The owners only left for a short time, and Jared, very competently, worked around them when they returned. Under rather unusual circumstances, he managed to give us a very timely and efficient full report of the strata complex and we were very happy with the results.
Thorough inspection!
Thanks Jaret, you were thorough and explained everything in detail to me. Except for a few minor issues you found, you made me feel as if I were making the right decision in my purchase.
Very thorough
My husband and I are planning to purchase a unit and we chose Tourant to do the inspection. When I received the inspection report, I was amazed at how detailed he is. Even the realtor who was with him was amazed at how detailed he is. I would recommend him to other people who are looking to buy their own property.
As great as always!
The realtor is impressed and told me that "your inspector really did such detailed work as you said ". I would say Jaret always satisfies me by his observation and professional comments!
Highly recommended
Jaret is a great inspector and a great person. He definitely took the time needed to get the inspection done well. My family and I were all very impressed with his work, his personality and professionalism. We'll call him again and we highly recommend him. You'll be impressed too. Great work Jaret.
Great home inspection
Jaret inspected the home I was going to purchase and found some important defects. His inspection also included thermal camera imaging which is really useful for finding insulation problems. Most other inspectors charge extra, but this was included. Thanks for your help, Jaret!
Professional work recommended !
Jaret is so amazing. He arrived site on time (actually even before me).However, did a very thorough complete job in and out for the house. Tested anything which is more than I thought. Once finished he went though entire inspection to give me a overall picture of the property right away. Super efficient in writing report and comments. I am satisfied with both his analysis and explanations. Jarat made this work an easy task. Highly recommended!
High quality service
Jaret, we would highly recommend you to our friends and family. You took hours to thoroughly examine the property, we are extremely happy with your service. Thank you! Farah and Shawn
