Face it -- if there's a man in your life, he's most likely watching porn and if you're a woman, you're most likely not too happy about it.
I happen to like porn, but a lot of Replica Marc Jacobs Bag women get tweaked by porn in part because they think their partner is comparing them to Jenna Jameson and other porn stars; we can be competitive -- or insecure -- when it comes to other attractive women, and there's just no way most of us are going to have perfect breasts and butts, and the sexual responses a porn star does. Nor are we necessarily going to be open to all the Replica Marc Jacobs Bag positions and, uh, broad-mindedness of porn stars (although I'm guessing few of us would turn away, say, a Brad Pitt-George Clooney threesome; I sure wouldn't).
Polls show that we're pretty evenly divided on whether porn is just part of the package when it comes to men and if it's demeaning to women. We're also equally divided on whether porn is bad for relationships, although if you've been involved with someone who's lost interest in having sex with you because he'd prefer to jack off to some online porn, you're pretty Replica Marc Jacobs Bag clear on the damage it does.
Still, that's a small percentage of porn watchers. The majority of people view their porn watching as some good, not-quite-so-clean fun, according to the late researcher Alvin Cooper, the former head of the San Jose Marital and Sexuality Center and conducts seminars on cybersex addiction. Only 15 percent of the respondents to Cooper's study said their porn watching actually led to behaviors that interfered with their lives.

Marc Jacobs Hobo appearing to coalesce
Nations like Brazil want a more open process that does not see the top position at the I.M.F. granted to a European, as has been the convention since the fund was founded 65 years ago. They hope instead to
put forth a credible candidate from the emerging world to reflect its growing economic clout.
“We must establish meritocracy, so that the person leading the I.M.F. is selected for their merits and not for being European,” Guido Mantega, Brazil’s finance minister, said late Wednesday
China, too, publicly weighed in on the debate, suggesting that achieving a consensus on the successor to Mr. Strauss-Kahn may take several months. “In principle, we believe that emerging and developing countries should have representation at senior levels,” a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said Thursday, the second such statement in two days.
Politicians from across Europe closed ranks, appearing to coalesce behind Christine Lagarde, France’s finance minister, as their preferred candidate to succeed Mr. Strauss-Kahn, who is also French.
Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany publicly called for a European to assume the job, arguing that the Continent’s festering economic problems required a European to stay in place. German media reported that she favored Ms. Lagarde.

Marc Jacobs Hobo lost his job over financial hanky
France is in denial in thinking that Strauss-Kahn was set up. Who knew that France was Pakistan?
Strauss-Kahn’s French defenders
are throwing around nutty conspiracy theories, sounding like the Pakistanis about Osama. Some have suggested that he was the victim of a honey-pot arranged by the Sarkozy forces.
Bernard-Henri Lévy, a friend, says he is outraged at the portrayal of Strauss-Kahn as an “insatiable and malevolent beast.” He wrote on The Daily Beast: “It would be nice to know — and without delay — how a chambermaid could have walked in alone, contrary to the habitual practice of most of New York’s grand hotels of sending a ‘cleaning brigade’ of two people, into the room of one of the most closely watched figures on the planet.”
At least he didn’t mention Dreyfus.
For years, I’ve stayed at the Sofitel and other hotels in New York City, and I’ve never seen a “brigade,” simply single maids coming in to clean.
In Washington, they have now nicknamed the street that separates the I.M.F. and the World Bank, where Paul Wolfowitz lost his job over financial hanky-panky with his girlfriend, the Boulevard of Bad Behavior.
These are the two institutions that are globally renowned for lecturing the rest of the world on discipline and freedom, when it’s the West that’s guilty of recklessness and improvident behavior. First in finance, then in sex.

Marc Jacobs Hobo Hillier early for the Federal Reserve
The meeting was also expected to pressure Greece to announce more austerity steps to secure further emergency funding.
"Concern over the European economy is weighing on the euro and supporting the dollar," said Jonathan Barratt, managing director at Commodity Broking Services in Sydney. "A stronger dollar in turn is Marc Jacobs Hobo Hillier weighing on commodity prices."
The U.S. economy remains on a solid footing but it is still to early for the Federal Reserve to offer a detailed view of its exit strategy, Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart said on Sunday. Lockhart said the lack of a step-by-step guide for a reversal of unprecedented stimulus measures should not be mistaken for complacency about the need to be ready.
"We market participants are always waiting for any announcement on interest rates in the U.S. and Europe to give us an idea on the future direction of markets," Hasegawa said. "Overall, interest rates are likely to go up faster in Europe than in the U.S."
President Barack Obama on Sunday warned Congress that failing to raise the U.S. debt limit could lead to a worse financial crisis and economic recession than 2008-09 if investors began doubting U.S. credit-worthiness.

Marc Jacobs Hobo budget hearings
Phoenix's budget planning for the 2011-12 fiscal year that begins July 1 has been far less painful than the city has seen in the
past two years.
More than 250 residents attended the April budget hearings, compared with the 5,000 residents who sounded off at hearings last year as the city cut programs and services while adopting a 2 percent food tax to close a more than $270 million general-fund budget shortfall.
Next year, city officials expect residents will feel little noticeable services changes to close a projected $59 million budget deficit. Officials propose addressing most of the gap by refinancing debt and making internal operating cuts.
The budget reflects "a really positive step in the right direction for this community," Phoenix budget and research Director Mario Paniagua said.
Based on resident input at last month's budget hearings, Cavazos suggested an additional $329,000 in general-fund spending on top of what he proposed in March that would:
- Pay for two additional employees to clean up graffiti.
- Restore closed-captioning services to the city's government-access cable Channel 11.
- Make Burton Barr Library's Accessibility Center available on a walk-in basis for disabled patrons.
- Add $90,000 to the contingency fund.
- Provide more same-day transportation to disabled residents under 65.

Marc Jacobs Hobo Hillier were limited as Chinese shares
The risk-sensitive euro and the Australian dollar fell briefly after data showing Chinese industrial production and retail sales
fell short of market expectations, though losses were limited as Chinese shares quickly recovered.
"I thought the data was quite weak and there could have been more selling. But the market positioning is much lighter than before, so the euro's reaction to any negative news is smaller," said Masafumi Yamamoto, chief currency strategist at Barclays Capital.
The euro traded at $1.4392, down 0.l percent on the day but still keeping most of its rise from a three-week low of $1.4254 on hit on Monday.
Some traders suspected much of the bloated long positions in the euro were likely to have been unwound during a torrent of selling since last Thursday that pushed the currency down by 4.6 percent from a 17-month high of $1.4940. Speculators' net long positions hit the highest since July 2007 in the week to May 3, based on data from a U.S. regulator.
As the unwinding of euro long positions had been in part triggered by massive fall in oil and commodity prices last week, some signs of stabilization in commodity prices are helping the euro.
