SBA & Dept. of Ed to Host Twitter Q&A Session: Connecting Grads to Resources to Help Them Startup
by Karen Mills, Former SBA Administrator
- Created: April 19, 2012, 4:36 pm
- Updated: April 19, 2012, 4:36 pm
Graduation season is right around the corner and to help grads that are looking to start a small business, SBA and the U.S. Department of Education will host a Twitter Q & A Session on April 25 at 2pm EDT connecting soon-to-be grads or recent grads to resources to help them startup, succeed and create an economy built to last.
I, along with U.S. Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan, will answer your questions about starting a business and highlight the Income-Based Repayment (IBR) Plan, which supports young college grads that are looking to start a business, join a startup, or work in a public service job by making Federal student loan repayment manageable. IBR helps to keep loan payments affordable by using a sliding scale to determine how much you can afford to pay on your Federal loans—empowering you to take risks with new opportunities like starting a small business.
Submit your questions now and follow the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #GradStartup.

Missing Lincoln County Grandmother Allegedly Stabbed, Strangled; Husband Faces Murder Charges
Submitted: 05/13/2013
- "She was just such an awesome lady that, it hurts, it really hurts," says Cliff Brown.
Cliff, one of Anita Bucki's several brothers, is among those grieving her death.
That's what made hearing some of the things he did in court today even more painful. "She had been stabbed, and there was bruising on the inside of her throat, indicating to the pathologist that she may have been strangled," Lincoln County District Attorney Don Dunphy said at Mark Bucki's initial appearance Tuesday.
Mark, Anita's husband, had reported her missing from her rural Merrill home on April 26th.
But instead of a husband concerned for his missing wife, prosecutors believe he murdered her.
"There were seven stab wounds," Dunphy told reporters.
"There's anger. It's like, okay, you were her husband. You're supposed to protect her. Why all of a sudden is she found in the woods in a swamp? Are you kidding me?" asks Cliff.
A couple walking the forest in Taylor County found her body late last week, and she was identified Sunday.
Mark Bucki admitted to investigators he and Anita, a couple for nearly 27 years, were having a conversation about divorce, and he raised his voice.
He told police that after she supposedly disappeared, he ripped out carpeting from the bedroom, took some of Anita's belongings, and burned them.
"It certainly looks as if that carpeting was removed for a reason. And burned," Dunphy said.
A warrant led investigators to find blood in the home and on Mark Bucki's boots.
"Some of the blood was found in the living room, and I have a hard time believing Mr. Bucki dressed a deer," Dunphy told Judge John Yackel.
A police dog found signs of decomposing flesh in the bed of Mark Bucki's truck, on his boots, in the shower, in a burn barrel, and in what looked like a shallow by empty grave.
A week and a half after those discoveries, the discovery of Anita's body, with its stab wounds and throat bruising, was found in Taylor County.
Now, prosecutors think they have a strong case against Mark Bucki.
But Anita leaves behind the thing that was seemingly most important to her – her family.
"Her granddaughter was just everything to her," said Cliff.
Alauna had just turned one year old.
Now, she'll grow up without Grandma Anita.
"That's Anita in a nutshell right there," Cliff said of a picture of Alauna and Anita. "The smile on her face, the baby in her arms, it's beautiful. That's how we've got to remember her."
We'll wait to see if Anita's husband, Mark, will be found guilty for making remembering her the only way left to experience Anita Bucki.

The 2011 West Indian American Day Carnival parade made its way up Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn on Monday. The festival, which is the city's annual celebration of Caribbean culture, brought about 2 million people to the borough.
Check out photos of the parade below.
I love the Brooklyn Carnival! I drove up from Maryland & supported my band Panstars from Philly! We chipped it out in the heavy rain & I was exhilirated! The only down side I see is that there was 1 porta potty every mile or so.... for thousands of people!... who are drinking water & alot of other stuff! I actually went inside a park where the fence was broken, with countless others but I was wondering how the city must smell when it's over!! Why wouldn't the city want that s**t contained? I just don't get it!! I guess peeing in public is part of the carnival!!
having lived in London for 20 years and now living in crown heights.
the notting hill carnival has more live music, bigger crowds, more violence and hostility than the Brooklyn carnival there is a lots less pushing and shoving at Bklyn-for me Brooklyn wins hands down-can't wait for next years.
Also Island identity is more prominent in Bklyn
I recently went to The Nottinghill Carnival, a yearly event here in the UK, where I live.
It would be so interesting to compare that with the the West Indian Day Carnival in Brooklyn, a silmilar event.
Has anyone been to both and can offer a comparison?

If you didn't watch the game, and you're just seeing that the Dodgers won 9-0, you probably think it was a laugher. Not quite; it was 4-0 until the 8th inning, and while seeing Andre Ethier break out with two doubles (off a lefty!) and a homer among the six extra-base hits by the Dodgers was sure fun, it's obvious that Vicente Padilla is the story here.
Padilla took a no-hitter into the 7th in throwing his fourth career shutout (and first as a Dodger), baffling the Padres with painfully slow "soap bubbles" scattered among 90+ mph heaters, with James Loney just inches away from snaring a liner that may have kept the no-no going.
That, amazingly, is Padilla's eighth straight start without having allowed more than two earned runs. No, really: look at his game log since his return from the DL:
As I mentioned on Twitter earlier, I can't wait to see what the free agent market does for him. He missed two months with arm trouble, accidentally shot himself in the offseason, has a long reputatation as a jerk… and is pitching like an absolute ace.
To top it off, he even contributed two hits, which means that every time I make the joke that "Torre shouldn't have pinch-hit Garret Anderson for the pitcher, because Anderson's not any more likely to get a hit than the pitcher is," it's all too true.
TOOTBLAN alert! We have a TOOTBLAN alert! It took Ryan Theriot only four games as a Dodger to do it, but we saw a real live TOOTBLAN tonight. In the bottom of the 7th, he reached second on an error by Chase Headley, and advanced to third on an Andre Ethier groundout. With one out, Matt Kemp hit a hard grounder to the shortstop. Theriot, for some reason, broke home and was out by approximately the distance between Chicago and Los Angeles. Now that's a TOOTBLAN.
I would love to go one game, just one, without dropping some negativity about Joe Torre. I don't really enjoy it as much as it probably seems I do. It's just, we all know about Hong-Chih Kuo's injury history. When you have a guy like that, you know that his arm could go at any second, and you use the bullets he has on high-value innings. So after needlessly using him last night (Ted Lilly had only set down twenty Padres in a row), Torre had Kuo (and Jonathan Broxton, for that matter) warming up in the 8th inning in what was at the time a four-run game.
Kuo, of course, was never needed, but since he had to throw two days in a row, it's fair to question his availability for tomorrow's game. Every pitch rolls on that odometer, so for the one millionth time this season, leave Kuo alone unless you need him.

Winning NCAA Tournament Bracket
Posted by Simple Dude | Posted in Random Simplicity, Work | Posted on 20-03-2013
Like many of you I fill out NCAA Tournament brackets. I do it every year and actually won the pool once years ago, but for the most part I never get close. I never get close because the people who usually win know NOTHING about sports.
This doesn't really bother me. I do happen to know a fair amount about sports but filling out these brackets is as much about luck as it is about skill. And as you know it's often better to be lucky than to be good.
So finally, here is some insight into the mind of these non-sports people that pull a winning bracket out of thin air. Here is a bracket as filled out by your typical non-sports fan:
There you have it…. good luck to all!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hurdlehopper Happy Wife My wife took up archery for the first time after being married over 30 years. I bought her the camo to use when we hunt together. She absolutely loves it. It is her first camo clothing. May 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by WomenHunter Well worth the price! Absolutely love these (got both the jacket and pants)! I bought this with my husband's urging and once again (when it comes to hunting!) he was right. It is the only thing that I have worn this year. I feel like I am in my flannel pjs. Very comfortable, not binding anywhere. I had a buck right behind me with the wind blowing in his face and he never winded me. Unfortunately, my movement to take a shot is what blew him out of there. I am going back this week to get the hat and gator - wish they had it in women's sizes..but take what you can, right? Beware that this light set is not a windbreaker and you can get chilly. Today since it was going to be cooler and windy, I wore a light set of under armor with it and it was perfect. You may want to buy it big enough to wear layers underneath in cold weather. Before the season is up, I plan to get another set. the nice thing is that you don't wash it every time you wear it. Got to love that!! October 21, 2012

What a great year it's been for innovative new puzzle games. First we had the amazing Puzzle Quest, the game that combined the role-playing genre with Bejeweled, and not we're introduced to Crush, a wacky new puzzle game from Sega. Although it shares some similarities to other popular games this year (such as Nintendo's own Super Paper Mario), Crush proves to be a completely original idea that is unlike anything you've ever seen before. It's exciting not just because it's a solid puzzle game, but because it's great to see such an original product come to the Sony PSP.
Crush tells the story of a long-haired twenty-something named Danny. You see, Danny is suffering from some a bad case of insomnia, he lays awake all night thinking about his past and all of the unresolved issues he hasn't dealt with yet. Convinced that he needs some professional help, Danny decides to take part in an experimental procedure conducted by a mad scientist, Dr. Reubens. This Doc Brown-style scientist has this brand new contraption that will get to the bottom of Danny's problems and propel his career to the next level.
Unfortunately Dr. Reuben's miracle cure requires Danny to do more than just take sleeping pills. The machine that the scientist has created is known as C.R.U.S.H. (the Cognitive Regression Utilizing pSychiatric Heuristics) and allows Danny to literally jump inside of his head and get to the bottom of his troubles. Of course, all this is easier said than done. In order for Danny to get a good night sleep he's going to first have to solve dozens of puzzles and learn a thing or two about himself in the process.
This crazy story is only the set-up for what proves to be an even crazier puzzle game. While the object of Crush is simple and generic (it's your job to collect enough orbs and find the exit to the level), the way you go about completing each task will make you use parts of your brain that you didn't even know you had. Through 40 different levels you will have to figure out how to guide Danny from the beginning to the end without making him wake up ... a task that is a whole lot harder than it sounds.
So what's so original about moving your character from the start of a level to end, you may ask? Well, the trick is in HOW you move your character from the beginning to the end. The gimmick that sets Crush apart from every other game on the planet is that in order to solve the puzzles you are going to have to "crush" the levels by turning them from 3D to 2D. When you first enter a level you are able to run around a full 3D environment. However, if you're going to collect all of the orbs and make your way out of the level then you're going to have to hit the left shoulder button and turn this 3D area into 2D.
While that may sound complicated, this "crush" mechanic is actually very simple and you'll understand how it works almost immediately. You control Danny by using the analog nub; this allows you to run around the 3D world much like you would any other modern third-person action game. However, the camera is controlled by the D-Pad, so you can look at the level from a number of different perspectives. If you want to switch from 3D to 2D all you need to do is push the "crush" button and depending on what camera perspective you have the world will change right in front of your eyes. It's important to note that your "crush" effect will change depending on how you're looking at the level, so if one angle doesn't help you it might be useful to try one of the other camera positions.
All this 3D to 2D stuff works because the game lays down the rules about how each of the objects work. For example, there are some objects you won't be able to walk through when you're in the 2D perspective. Also, you will only be able to "crush" on certain types of panels, something that ultimately restricts how you go about solving the puzzles. Once you've mastered the rules (which are introduced within the first few minutes of play) you'll find that it's easy to manipulate the levels and get around. But don't confuse the game's simple rules with the difficulty of Crush, because this is one title that will put your brain to the test.

5 W 47th St, New York, NY | Directions 1003640.757030 -73.979512
Neighborhoods: Midtown Center, Midtown
To Mike and his team at Sea Wave,
I can't express enough gratitude for the exceptional service I have gotten at Sea Wave. I went to them for my fiance's engagement ring and came back for her wedding band. Never before have I dealt with such a professional and helpful staff, with incredible industry expertise, who put such a priority on customer service. They have the best stones, are willing to work with you on any budget, and will do everything in their power to make sure the job is done right, even if it is a custom ring with the most intricate designs. The biggest difference is that the staff at Sea Wave puts such a focus on you, and helping you find the perfect piece of jewelry, that they don't have to "sell" you anything. The service and the quality of their craftsmanship speaks for itself. We won't shop for jewelry anywhere else! Thank you Mike for your exceptional work!
-Chris and Amanda, Ithaca NY
Strong recommend!! I come from Australia and have conference in NYC. I only have 1 day to shop and Mike give me a excellent experience. I also compare the other good reputation stores, but Sea Wave is the best. Honesty, patient ,good quality and they will tell you each diamond's feature why they are different price and let you choose. I end up with 2ct round diamond. Who said the only thing you shouldn't do in NY is buying diamond for the diamond district. I said the only thing you must do is buy diamond from sea wave. It sounds like advertisement but this is the way I want to thank mike he did a wonderful job and I really appreciated. I definitely will buy my next diamond from sea wave.
Exceeded expectations – After getting engaged and needing to purchase a new setting due to size issues my fiancé and I walked into sea wave randomly on a sat morning while browsing in the diamond district. It was still early and seawave was one of only a handful of stores open. And I'm so thankful they were because I found exactly what I was looking for. From the second we walked in we felt comfortable. These guys are not pushy jewelry salesman AT ALL. Their number one prioirity was helping me find the perfect setting for ME. Alex was our guy and was extremely knowledgeable. Upon looking at my center stone he immediately knew the exact color, cut, carat weight and clarity. After patiently looking at photos on my ipad of the type of setting I was looking for he presented me with many options before I found the one I'd been looking for. He agreed to buy back my original setting for a fair price and promised my new one would be ready in 2-3 weeks, which it was. He then had us watch while my stone was reset into the new setting and it's nothing short of stunning. the craftsmanship is flawless. We'll definitely be back to purchase our wedding bands since I've already tried on the matching one to my gorgeous ring :). Go here. You won't regret it. All the guys there are very knowledgable, honest, down to earth and aim to please without any pressure.
Amazing – This place is amazing in terms of understanding exactly what a client is looking for. When i first walked in to Sea Wave diamonds with my wife we new right from the beginning of our conversation with one of their professional staff he was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain to us every little bit of information we needed to find out about the set we were buying from Sea Wave Diamonds.
We loved the ring set that we have purchased from Alex and the staff at Sea Wave the rings are incredible stunning brilliant work you guys thank you very much.
have a wonderful holiday season.
We will be back for more in the near future and most definitely refer more people that we know to check out your website and visit you.
Great job thank you very much once again.
Paul and Nancy......
Great service. Great price. – We just purchased our wedding bands and we had yet another great experience shopping at Sea Wave. After purchasing our engagement ring, we knew we would be back. The staff is extremely helpful and we both got the bands of our choice at a great deal. Thanks again!!
Fantastic! – My fiance has bought me a few pieces jewelry from Sea Wave - a necklace, a pair of earrings, and, most importantly, my engagement ring!! He worked with them to customize it and it is exactly what I want (even though I had no input) and is gorgeous! The detail work on the band is incredible.
I had never been there until last weekend, when we went to look at wedding bands. Alex was super helpful and guided us in picking out matching bands that we adore.
Even better, they are super accommodating. The chain on the necklace broke (after 2+ years of almost daily wear, including to sleep) and they fixed it (for free!) within a couple days. I also bumped my ring not too long after I got it, and cracked one of the pave diamonds on the "cage" of the center stone. Alex convinced his jeweler to stay late for me to fix it while I waited so I wouldn't have to be without it, and again for free!
They have great customer service. A lot of places in the diamond district feel like they are hustling you... not here! I highly recommend Sea Wave.
My dream ring - but even better! – Mike was very helpful the whole way through. Having looked at just about every other jewellers on 47th I was close to giving up. Most of them are creepy and pushy.
Mike was honest and extremely patient. All he told me tied up with the research I had done. I was nervous as I told him on the Wednesday pm. what I wanted (having changed my mind once!) and I was to collect just 47 hours later! (Just before my flight home). The platinum ring, with 5 emerald cut diamonds in a bar setting exceeded my expectations. I was never pushed to go for bigger or better diamonds, and the price was very fair. Next time, I'll save myself a lot of time and go straight to Sea Wave. Thanks again!
Most amazing engagement ring! – My fiance worked with Emanuel to design and create my engagement ring. I had nothing to do with it and it blew my mind. It is absolutely gorgeous. The details and craftsmanship are incredible. I have gotten so many compliments on it. The day after my fiance gave it to me, I visited Emanuel to have it sized. He was so kind and very excited for me and proud of his work. I asked him to have it sized while I waited in a coffee shop nearby because I didn't want to part with it for very long. It was ready for me a few hours later. I look forward to going back to shop for wedding bands at Sea Wave. I highly recommend Emanuel and his team.
diamond districts best jewelers – SEA WAVE DIAMONDS is the real deal they don't play any games when it comes to pricing and product they are top notch in quality for a very reasonable price value is guaranteed to be unbeaten
for the past couple of years I have dealt with ALEX which I was referred to by a friend of mine and since then me and my family bought a lot of diamond jewelry and every piece of jewelry is absolutely gorgeous
Over all great value a huge variety and a very friendly service
Excellent Workmanship!!! – At first I was a little hesitant to order a ring with out seeing even though I was referred to SEA WAVE DIAMONDS because of the excellent work that they do.
I must have asked them a million questions which were answered in a professional manner and explained in a way that I envisioned it before the finished product.
SEA WAVE DIAMONDS have done a wonderful job on working me thru the process by sending me 3D pictures in every way possible.
So finally when diamond engagement ring was finished and delivered to me I was thrilled by all the details and work that SEA WAVE DIAMONDS have done to create a ring that I had in mind.
After taking the ring to appraise it not only that it was appraised so much higher then I paid the gemologist her self said I came across many different pieces that SEA WAVE DIAMONDS have done and everyone of those beautiful pieces were very unique and high quality workmanship
I will send everyone I know that is looking to get anything with diamonds to SEA WAVE!!!

Another sp and some alchemy sketches
Another self portrait, and my entry for the current Cow. Gonna do some more face studies later today. I figure if I cant make my face look right with just linework, it wont look good when its polished. I have a lot of work to do. :|
self portrait for today. I watched vilppus videos on constructing the head yesterday and found them very helpful. Although I find that I keep making the lines a little off each time, making heads either to wide or to thin.
im pretty satisfied with this.
face studies and such
for today
Nice work, your sketches are good. As for crits I'd say work on your values / tones as that'll give you more depth in your images and stop them looking flat [like the problem you were having on the first page]. But saying that your values are getting better with the self portraits, so yeah you're on the right track working from life.
My Site
Sketchbook - Crits and opinions needed and welcomed
I know its a bit sketchy, but it got pretty late last night. It will have to do.
Gonna try doing some different expressions, change it up a bit. this one is actually close to what the lighting is like in my room

Well, stupidly, as I was trying to mess around with the YouTube application to see how I could play around with it, I modified the following file on my iPhone without taking a backup:
and suddenly every bit of text in YouTube shows as "localized string not found"!!
I changed the text back, of course, but it obviously has a checksum which is partly based on last modified date, so it is still broken.
This file is not unique to any iPhone - it contains no user-specific or iphone-specific data, just a few english words (it's a resource file as far as I can work out). Could someone please send it/post a link/email it to me? Please!?

There was a neat foot shown on #1107 but I can't find it or exactly what it was called. It looks like a miniature wheel and she said she also used it for zippers. Can you help?
I have been on the search for this foot also, and found it online this morning. It is a Bernina #55 Leather Rolling Foot. Hope this helps :)

Captain Nina Burger scored twice as SV Neulengbach won 2-1 at Apollon Limassol LFC in their UEFA Women's Champions League round of 32 first leg, but seemed more concerned afterwards about the chances she had missed, with Apollon's Lianne Sanderson only sorry that the game did not last five or ten minutes longer, with substitute Jasmyne Spencer's late strike for the home side capping a spell of intense, late pressure.
Nina Burger, Neulengbach forward
We knew it would be difficult. We knew our opponents are strong and that the hot weather would play a role. In the first half, we were the better side but in the second half we had some problems, but we still managed to score two away goals – and we were 2-0 up.
It is a good result, but we could have scored even more. There were two occasions when I could have finished after great assists from my team-mates – as I said, we should have scored one or two more, considering all the chances we had. But still: two away goals is a good result.
Johannes Uhlig, Neulengbach coach
It was a strong match between these teams. Apollon are very strong, with very good strikers and very good midfielders. We were better in the first half – we had lots of chances to score a third goal – but in the second half it was equal. Apollon were the better side in the last 15 minutes.
Lianne Sanderson, Apollon forward
In the first half, we definitely didn't come out very strong and it was disappointing – we definitely needed to regroup at half-time. And I think we were fortunate to get in being only one goal behind, because it could have been many more: they had a few chances.
But if we would have had another five or ten minutes in the game we would have come back into it. I had a chance in first half I should have put away. But going into the second leg, they obviously have two away goals, but we can still win, and I think we just have to believe we can go there get two goals and not concede.
Angelos Tsolakis, Apollon coach
We didn't start well. We conceded a very ugly goal following a defensive mistake. We created some clear chances but we couldn't score. The second half, we were better. We improved. We had good control of the game but Neulengbach had a counterattack and they scored to make it 2-0. We struck back too late – we deserved to have done so earlier.
This is the first leg: we will try hard in the second game. It'll be very difficult, of course, but I think we will have our chances.
Jasmyne Spencer, Apollon forward
I think it's a little bit disappointing for us to come out with a loss in the first leg, but we definitely have something to build off – pulling a goal back is definitely good. It'll be tough, but I think we're going forward in the right direction.
I thought I brought a good energy to the team when I came off the bench. We were kind of struggling; letting up that second goal was tough, but I just wanted to pull our level back up, and then when I got the goal, it definitely brought us to another level. If there was more time, anything could have happened, but it's good going into the next game.

"Everyone had wonderful things to say about our son's graduation announcement. I'm having friends call this year to ask where I got them and I"m sending them here."
"Loved my finished product. Was able to customize it just the way I wanted! My friends and family loved the personalized announcement instead of the school offered standard announcement. Excellent service and delivery!"
"The only thing I didn't consider until they came in was that I wanted to write something on the back for each person I sent them to and I had to write in metallic permanent marker for it to be read. I should have thought about that and wonder if there was a choice to be able to have a writing surface on the back. Other than that I loved the finished product!"
"The announcements came just as I had hoped. The print quality was excellent and the card stock had a nice feel and look. I was very happy to send them out. I would like to see a little more flexibility in editing text."
"Loved this design. I put my son's senior photo along with a kindergarten photo on the front. It was fantastic to have his graduation info, as well as his future plans right on the front without it feeling crowded. I selected the plain red background with 2 more photos and personalized captions, including a thank you to family and friends. Everyone raved about it! Quality was even better than expected!"

Is the lack of sexual fulfillment in a marriage enough to call it quits?
My answer to that is no, absolutely not. But the feelings I am feeling are well beyond an unfulfilled sex life. It is the constant rejection, the constant feeling like you're not enough, the constant nagging in the back of your head about how the person you love is not attracted to you. And he says he is not rejecting me (?), he says that I am all he wants, and he says I am the most beautiful girl in the world. I believe that he feels that way, yet the problem is still there. There is absolutely no sexual, intimate connection.
It's not the sex so much as it is all of the other feelings you get from connecting with the person you love. If there is no sex and no passion, then I feel I have a friendship, not a love relationship. A friendship is fine, but I am not going to commit the rest of my life to a friend. I want a life partner and a lover, someone who can share everything with me and I with him. That includes sex.
I can get an orgasm by myself, that's not special.
Knowing my wife desires me, is willing to give up a little sleep, is willing to make me feel good, that's special.
You need to be content with yourself, for yourself. He does not define who you are or how sexy you are. You can search the world over for that one person who might make you feel that way, but you will probably always have doubts because of your self-image.
After going nearly 2 1/2 years without sex with my WBF, I might not feel in my heart that he finds me the sexiest person in the whole world. Some days I would be very hard to convince that he is attracted to me at all. But I know that the problem in my relationship does not have anything to do with my physical attractiveness. There are things much deeper going on.
I also know that the way for me to feel better about myself is not to seek that gratification from outside of my relationship. There is no man who can replace feelings of desire from my BF. When you truly love someone, you do not act out in selfish ways that serve your ego. You work on your relationship and make it a better place to be for both of you.
I have tried many things...NC told him to stay away and leave me alone..he lasted 4 days then contacted me... i have tried being nice, kind..just made me feel nore rejected.
i have tried 180 i think my h enjoys me not hassleing him..all of this and the affection...emotional or physical intimacy just hasnt returned.
Like other posts he says he loves me is still attracted to me WTF...sorry i dont buy this..i too am now getting to the stage were i am questioning do i want him. We have been together for 22 yrs with almost a yr since dday and about 4 mths now without sex. Maybe i am less patient than others ..and although it is about the sex it is more about the lack of emotional intimacy that goes along with it.
He has agreed to come on vacation with our son..and 7 other friends on thursady and i am going to tell him it is make or break... he either tries or when we come back im done... i am 52 and i sure aint wasting what i have left of my life sitting around waiting for crumbs from a man who disrespected me so much to have an affair in the first place...my own self respect will not allow me too.
[This message edited by hyperglad at 3:39 AM, June 27th (Sunday)]
18 years ago, my husband left our marriage, emotionally and sexually. We had a small child, were living in a strange city, and ---without communicating such---he was tremendously dissatisfied with a number of things in our life: his career, the (normal) growing pains our marriage was experiencing, the change in sex patterns small children can create.
He started with "working late"---going to strip clubs night after night after night. He spent tens of thousands of dollars over a couple of years; it was impossible to hide from me. He did manage, however, to convince me there was no physical contact.
(I later found out that two infections I contracted during this time were STDs; D-day #1 came 4 years ago---14 years after he had intercourse with at least 1 stripper. One of the infections, incidentally, debilitated me for an entire year--at no point did he suggest I be tested, so it went untreated in my oropharynx until it showed up, some time later, on vaginal swab. The second was not diagnosed until I was in labor with our second child. Neither was identified for me as an STD until 4 years ago---or I would have been very aggressive about requirements for R and/or divorced him 18 years ago. But I digress...)
He lied about his infidelity ---and our marriage and sex life suffered. Intimacy was impossible; the lies were a huge wedge between us.
But we had sex--for a while. We had another baby, and moved back home---and as often happens when you have a young family finding time was difficult. But I never believed it to be a problem more significant than that. We loved each other (I thought.) We had sex---not like bunnies, but enough that we'd laugh and say, "Hey, that's fun. Let's do it again soon."
In 1999, he had a massive MI. It left him with considerable heart damage and requiring over a dozen drugs daily. This profoundly affected his ability to have sex.
He was content to let me believe he couldn't have sex. (In a deposition related to his injury, he testified under oath that he could not have sex, as well.) It was very frustrating to me, but I felt guilty---after all, the poor guy had lost even more than I had.
Very occasionally, he would rise to the occasion, so to speak; we've had sex around 5 times since 1999. I tried very hard not to feel rejected, to recognize this as part of his illness rather than a continuation of his earlier rejection. It was very difficult for me emotionally--but again, I reminded myself that he was ill, that he was doing the best he could, and so on.
Until two years ago. While ostensibly trying to reconcile from the stripper infidelity I'd recently learned of, we got absolutely nowhere. I was in it alone, I discovered. I learned that he'd been trolling online, and had met an AFF whore with the intention of having sex.
He says they did not have sex, but "just kissed." ("Just kissing" is a recurrent theme; he adopts the Clinton defense: if there's no vaginal penetration, it's not sex.)
Around the time of that second D-day is when he started to claim that I knew that he could have sex, but that I would not have it with him--that for the past 10 years, he had not manipulated his disability to avoid intimacy with me. Rather, he claimed he'd discovered, after a med change at some ill-defined place along the road, that he COULD have sex, and that I had rejected his many sexual advances. I did not perceive any advances.
In fact, learning about this AFF woman is how I learned he was able to have sex---and, further, how I learned that sex with me was what he doesn't want.
I was devastated--and met with blameshifting (still ongoing; he refuses to own the sexual abandonment; last night he said, "that's not all on me, you know"), lying, and an absolute refusal to do anything to help me heal.
He has been in IC for 4 years--with a coddler and enabler who hand-patted him right into a full-blown A he had last year.
Our sex life did not resume (despite continual protestations on his part that he WANTED to, if only he wasn't so continually REJECTED by me---all the while being too tired, too sick, too ....absent, too busy, too ANYTHING TO AVOID IT) but he gave himself permission, a year after the AFF D-day, to move from Facebook to email to phone to PA with a woman he "reunited" with surrounding our high school reunion.
The week before the reunion, he had an overnight business trip---and stayed in HER hotel room. His response to my dismay about his dishonesty is to pull out his Blackberry, twiddle it a bit, and show me that he did, in fact, have that important business meeting, just like he has every other year; that he would have been staying overnight even if it wasn't for her. (And his response to my suggestion that he now do the traveling the morning of the meeting was not, "I know--I will have to make that change so you can feel safe," it was, "Okay, you haul your ass out of bed to get me to the train by 6!")
The weekend of the reunion, they kept separate hotel rooms, kept their liaisons secret, and had sex both nights--oral and intercourse. He told her he loved her.
They decided to "end" it--but really, kept up phone contact until the most recent D-day. Another wedge completely preventing any form of intimacy--sexual or emotional---with me. For the last year of our "R." They spoke regularly, and most particularly about my deficiencies as a wife---making me feel raped.
And needless to say, our sex life did not resume. He continued to blame me as a smokescreen to conceal his affair.
For over a year (before this last A), I begged him to switch therapists---he was learning NO tools, gaining NO insight---and it was harming our chances for R. He scoffed, his therapist scoffed. "Where did Betsy get her psych degree?"
The week before the last D-day, I read on a public message board a post he'd made about reliving a magical weekend in Washington during a recent business trip.When confronted with this, he finally gave me passwords (but only after sanitizing accounts---he missed ONE crucial email, which is how I found out about his full-blown A; I am sure he never would have told me otherwise)----and told me I knew everything, and that for the first time, he was 100% committed to our marriage.
Only, well--he was still in his EA. I did not know everything (and he has NO intention of sharing everything), and he was not "100% committed."
We're 7 weeks out from the D-day that followed. I am sure there are many things I don't know. I am still being blamed for the lack of sex in our marriage: I didn't respond, I didn't initiate, I didn't pick up the mental freaking telepathic messages----there must be something wrong with ME to overlook HIS needs so that he has to go somewhere else.
I have been destroyed as a woman. I have PTSD, and my sexual confidence does not exist. The last affair? The last nail in the coffin.
R? We're 7 weeks out from the last D-day. He has fleeting glimmers of insight (he admitted he liked being unsatisfied so he'd have a reason to look elsewhere), but no remorse or empathy. He claims he is "working hard," but years of doing NOTHING have left him believing that a compliment a day is adequate.
I don't know what I'm looking for here, other than maybe validation that I'm not insane...or alone.
What's going to be different this time? Your H sounds majorly screwed up.
You can have sex and make connection or have connection and end up having sex.
people her have neither.
And it warps you in a way.
You may have kids at home and want to have a normal life and know taht things do not look like they will ever get better.
But you stay and cope somehow .... hopefully not by cheating.
And in the end feel very isolated and alone.
The sex is like a background beat to teh main song.
Us without much sex do not get hugs, big kisses, giant smiles, GOOD suprises.
You feel defetaed and almost become forced to do other things like hobbies, friends, investing in the kids.
BUt you are trapped and very alone.
And I think taht is the most dveatstating thing in this.
The lack of sex makes you feel very alone and you should not feel like that when you have a spouse.
There were times in the beginning when I was open to trying to put it all behind us, but only to find WS was lying. So, after a long and very satisfying sex life with my H, I'm left with nothing. WS spends mosts of his time now back East with OP. When here on West Coast, we live as roommates. I refuse to be any other way. WS would jump on me in a minute, but I've closed that door.
Just the thought of having any close touching with WS makes me uneasy and very sad. I grew up sexually with him and to know he is sharing that with another turns me inside out.
I will never recover from this betrayal. I guess it was not as special as I thought it was between us.
So to answer the question, I'm not interested in sex, but I'm sure WS would be ready in a heartbeat.
He's posting on SI now. I guess I should take hope from that. It would be easier if he weren't minimizing and ....well, lying. I feel bludgeoned by his words. By his lack of ownership of his abandonment.
I am not optimistic right now. I know he needs therapy, and get a tiny glimmer of hope that he is starting with a new therapist. But we've been down this road before....it's hard to retain hope.
And it's hard to spend years feeling ....discarded.
Betsy, can I just be frank with you?
Honey, You have spent years. Years trying to make this work. Of course I want you to be happy and it is your decision but all his trolling around really, ummm, makes me wonder.
I guess men think of sex a little differently than we do but still.....
He lied to you about having the ability to make love? Then he offered that gift to someone else? Did I read that right?
Sweetie, my heart breaks for you.

Dday 1 10/28/09
Dday 2 11/5/09
He now claims that he was "just tired" and that, "after 18 months" he let me know "the pipes worked again." (These are his words; I never heard them.) He claims that I repeatedly rebuffed his advances.
If any of this happened, I must have been on another planet, because I was LOOKING for cues. I was wishing that I had a man who, although disabled, still considered MY needs. (I have friends with disabled husbands who have full sex lives; different, but full.) I would have welcomed ANY sexual overture that was perceptible--and been thrilled to find he could have sex.
He did not share it with me because he did not WANT to share it with me. In his more honest moments, he will admit this. Then immediately recant; it is more than he is able to face at the moment.
He did not make advances---he may have thought about sex (maybe even sex with me), but he did not follow through. His attitude now seems to be "well, if it's not worth much to her, fuck it." Only it WAS worth it to me---I truly believed he could not have it. (He does, to his credit, accept that I really believed this; he cannot explain, however, WHY I would believe it so long when his "version" diverges so significantly from mine.)
Thing is, after being rejected for SO long---and having an A and other liaisons tossed in for good measure---how do you EVER get enough sexual self-confidence back to have a relationship with anyone?
I feel so damaged, discarded, broken....and I have this (remorseless) man telling me he has always wanted me when he very clearly has not (and in his more honest moments will admit that he did not). I just don't see how it's possible.
He won't leave, though. He failed to consider, as he was having a relationship with another woman, that it might mean the end of his marriage. His magical thinking got the best of him.
And it's still winning, that magical thinking. I didn't cross his mind during his infidelities or the long periods of dishonesty in between. But when asked why I should invest more in the relationship, he said without hesitation, "Because you love me."
Magical thinking.

We are in R and things are going well except in one area: Sex. When we have it, it's great. I enjoy it, she seems to enjoy it. I have always tried to be a giving and generous lover and FWW says she has no complaints. Yet, she had an affair.
We are in our 40s and I had gotten used to her libido decreasing as we got older. We were down to once or twice a month. Then during her affair her libido spikes to the point that it's almost too much. Then I find out about the affair. See, I thought this was the legendary middle age woman's libido spike. I thought she wanted me. Turns out that what it was was all the hot chat with OM via text msg that got her all ramped up. She denies this but I have problems with that denial.
Her affair consisted of lust-notes and txt msgs and (supposedly) a single physical encounter. The txt msgs continued for two months or so after that one time(?) until I found the lustnotes confirming my suspicion that "something" was going on. This was during the summer of 2008. Obviously, I have some lingering doubts about some of this.
Anyway, as I said during all this time her libido was off and running. After Dday (and HB) until now though we are right back where we were; once, maybe twice a month. She almost never initiates things and when I do it's always like I have to talk her into it. She could put all that energy into the OM, even walking 45 minutes to his house sans underwear to get laid, yet STILL - almost two years later - plays hard to get with me?
IT FUCKING PISSES ME OFF!! SHE went out and had this hot passionate affair while her "teddy bear" cluelessly thought everything was fine. WELL WHAT ABOUT ME? Where's all this passion for me now that OM is gone. Where's the hot talk for me, the enticement, the teasing looks.
Talking about this with her doesn't do much good. I get mad, she gets sad and starts apologizing all over again. I get that she's sorry it happened and I believe her. Except when it come to sex our relationship is very much like it was pre-A. She is more affectionate to me than she has been in years. But overall I still feel like a security blanket, a fall back safety zone. (OM was only interested in a fling)
But the feelings I am feeling are well beyond an unfulfilled sex life. It is the constant rejection, the constant feeling like you're not enough, the constant nagging in the back of your head about how the person you love is not attracted to you.
I find myself dwelling on the idea of having my own affair, hell it seems to have worked well enough for her. I know it's a stupid idea and not something I would ever do, I am a man of my word if nothing else and I took vows, but there is one voice in the back of the hall that keeps bringing the subject up. I hate that guy, I hate that he's a part of my internal arguments, but if I weakened just a bit, he could win.
I read somewhere that one man's answer to bad days in his relationship could alter his commitment.
On good days he was committed to his wife.
On bad days he was committed to his marriage.
On really bad days he was committed to his commitment.
That's my anchor. That's what keeps me from going rogue. But any advice to improve the situation would be dearly appreciated...

I thought she wanted me. Turns out that what it was was all the hot chat with OM via text msg that got her all ramped up. She denies this but I have problems with that denial.
Whoa, are you me? We're on the once or twice a month plan, if I'm lucky, then in November it was almost too much. Also in November my W was emailing, texting and calling her HS boyfriend, but there was no connection between the too, none. Absolutely no connection.
They're no longer in contact, and it's back to once a month, if I'm lucky. But there was no connection.
I don't have an answer. If I bring up our shitty sex life, it improves for a month, and then dwindles back to once a month, if I'm lucky. I'm tired of bringing it up, if I wanted more sex in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, do you think it's different in 2010?
MC might help, but my W has a lot of trouble keeping appointments with her Pysch and her IC. How can we fit another in.
Discussing my needs helps for the short term.
Time might help, maybe my libido will die as I get older. Maybe I'll be in a situation where D is palatable. Maybe DW's libido will kick up. Maybe the horse will sing.
Maybe the horse will sing.
That's about how I feel. There's not much hope after nearly 2 1/2 years. I just turned 40, and refuse to waste any more years in a sexless relationship. It might be different if he was doing something to fix it, but he's not. I always got plenty of affection from him....more cuddling, kissing and hand-holding than most women. But it got to the point where all of that just felt like a LIE. I kept thinking, wow, people probably think we have a hot sex life. What a joke.
Denying a woman sex for long it so hurtful. It tanks your self-esteem. The constant rejection kills me. And it's embarrassing for a woman to talk about how her partner will not have sex with her. Men being refused sex seems more socially acceptable. I hear guys talking about it all the time. You never hear a woman say their man won't have sex with them. It's the old cliché....men want sex, women don't. The people here at SI are the only people who know my boyfriend doesn't put out. It's embarrassing to feel so unattractive. If I said something about this at work, there might be a whole lot of reasons offered as to why he wouldn't have sex with me. But they all come down to one thing, there is something wrong with me. With men being rejected, it's just the "way women are."
Not saying it sucks any less for the guys here. I just wonder if it doesn't affect your ego the way it does mine.
If I said something about this at work, there might be a whole lot of reasons offered as to why he wouldn't have sex with me. But they all come down to one thing, there is something wrong with me.
It doesn't feel any different when you're a guy, Kitty, as I'm sure Lonerider can attest.
It's obviously not the "way women are" or their would be nothing but guys in this thread. Maybe it's something endemic to the WS's thinking.
Frankly, I'm jealous of her. She got all the excitement of the affair, the Drama of her husband fighting for her and of course I "won"... (yipee) And after all that she still has her big ol' teddy bear to snuggle with.
I am TWICE the man OM was, physically, mentally and morally. He was a skinny little pipsqueak with poor spelling, NO grammar, a big nose and a bald spot right in the middle of his mullet. I could ball him up and put him in my hip pocket for a doggy treat and he knows it, the craven coward. And the best she had to offer she gave to him.
It hurts. If I let it funnel down into anger I'd be mad enough to chew anchor chain and spit nails. I don't know what else to do. IC for her was a bust, she went one time. Our MC frankly did the best he could with what he had to work with but that reached a logical conclusion months ago.
I love my wife dearly, more than life itself, but I also need to feel like I'm more than just her best friend. I need to feel desired too.
Funny. The whole reason for her affair was outside validation (I didn't count since I was 'biased'). Now I know what that feels like...
You're right, it is so damn unfair that they give their best to someone else and they still get you...the real prize. Your post made me get teary-eyed. I see now how it doesn't matter if you are a man or woman. I'm truly sorry for the pain you are going through. Somehow knowing you are the good guy and knowing you are the better choice doesn't make it any easier when your partner doesn't want to intimately connect with you. I really wish I had an answer to "why"...that's all I've ever wanted. I've always told him if he would just tell me what the problem is, I would move heaven and earth to help fix it. And I truly would. But nothing. The only thing he has ever said is that it's not me, it's him. That is no consolation at all.

How immigrants are redefining 'American' in Southern California
'Hispanic-flavored dishes' and other ethnic-inspired, um, treats
Cinco de Mayo has come and gone, but its effect on that peculiar cuisine known as "ethnic-inspired" continues. For a limited time only, at least.
This morning I ventured into an International House of Pancakes to try one of a few Cinco de Mayo-related items promoted in a recent news release as "Hispanic-flavored dishes." I didn't think that flavor had been popular since the Spanish conquistadors stumbled upon the Caribs, but what do I know? The flavor in question didn't involve humans, fortunately, but chilaquiles.
From the news release:
With ethnic-inspired entrees predicted to be the top breakfast food trend of the year, IHOP, one of America's favorite restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner, is turning up the heat with Hispanic-flavored dishes headlining its new Double Cheese Scrambles limited time offer.
Inspired by the traditional Mexican dish chilaquiles, IHOP's new Tortilla Scrambles feature fluffy scrambled eggs with crispy yet soft tortilla chips, enchilada sauce with melted jack and cheddar cheeses topped with sour cream and chopped green onions.

Establishment of Chromium Workgroup - In
March 2004, scientists from the Division of Science, Research and Technology
(DSRT) were charged with reviewing the current human health-based soil
clean-up criteria for chromium. This was done in response to concerns
voiced by the Hudson County community where most of the chrome ore processing
residue waste sites are located. An internal DEP workgroup was formed
and chaired by Eileen Murphy, Ph.D. (DSRT). A report was prepared in 2005
with the findings of the workgroup (see link below). This chromium webpage
was created as a mechanism to keep community members and other stakeholders
informed on departmental chromium reports, projects and issues. It is
updated routinely by the Office of Science (formerly DSRT).
