Hezbollah Now Most Powerful Force In Lebanon Hezbollah today stands unquestioned as the single most powerful force in Lebanon. By routing government-allied militiamen in hours last week, as the army stood by, it proved it can occupy Beirut at will. Its show of strength forced the government into a humiliating retreat from decisions that targeted the group. And the group itself has ensured that the independence of its sprawling military, political and social infrastructure — deemed a state within a state by its opponents — will remain untouched for the foreseeable future. 2 Comments
I have been in my current relationship for about a year, but I have known my boyfriend for four years. We were friends before getting together, and I actually knew him throughout my last relationship. During the time before we were together and after my last relationship, I jokingly, and perhaps teasingly, made references to the sex life with my ex, who was always convincing me to try something new.
Once we got together I stopped discussing my sexual past; however, if he flat out asked me if I had done a particular sexual deed or position, I would tell him if I had. Basically, he knows more about my sexual history than I would like. We have a good sex life, but recently, he has been putting a lot of pressure on me to experiment with him in the bedroom because he knows that I've tried certain things before. I am happy to oblige with some of his requests, but others I am not interested in trying again.
He assumes that since I was a willing participant with my last boyfriend, I should also be with him. I have tried to make it clear to him that just because I've done things before doesn't mean that I want to do them again, but he's really struggling with this. He is more hurt than angry; he feels like I must be less into him than my previous boyfriend. I feel terrible for making him think he's inadequate. I want to move past this, but I'm just not willing to try some of these things again. Can I be forgiven if I stand my ground on this or am I being selfish?
These two wardrobe don'ts might as well have "Hey, boys, come and get it!" hanging off them in neon lights. We know your average person who isn't starved for attention wouldn't be caught dead in either of them, but one is definitely worse than the other. What's tackier?

"Above the Influence" recently released an anti-drug ad featuring a talking dog and his pot smoking best friend, Aubrey. In the ad, the dog corners Aubrey in the kitchen to bark at her for her irresponsible drug use. Confrontational much? The situation only gets worse when our gal returns home from partying later that night — at four in the morning. That's when the dog cops a 'tude, gets crass and crude, and lets the unnecessary insults fly . . .
This little guy was found staggering alongside a busy road, looking malnourished and confused. His parents were nowhere in sight, so a few good samaritans scooped him up, took him home, rehydrated him back to good health, and posted his cuteness on the net for all the world to see. Our friend is now running around, hoarding nuts somewhere in an animal sanctuary. (Either that, or he's terrorizing some lady in her own back yard.) Don't you just love happy endings?
