I am sort of caught in between right now. I still have my old job to do, but they are trying to train me to take over for Barney. The old guy sort of decided that we could all kiss his butt. He is tired of the Boss' son, who is prone to nagging and not much use for anything else. I had to learn some logistics and the sort of thing that is on this site (http://www.supplychain-manager.com/). We did not have any other person to take over and Barney is really good at what he does. The big problem is that the old guy keeps the entire job in his head. It is not written down any place, he just knows how to do it and can remember ever single detail and every face and what every customer needs. It is better than having it written down to be honest about it.
I am not blaming Barney for getting tired of Junior. The boy just does not have any sense of when it is time to back off and he thinks that he has some special entitlement because of who his father is. Of course I get to tell him to shove off and there is not much he will do, because I have family too. I am not on the Boss' family, but my grandfather has the same amount of pull as him on the board. This is a family company, but there are more than one family involved and it is already decided that Junior is not going to be next in line if his Dad steps aside. I am sure he could do a good part of the job, but he just can not get along well with people and you need people to run your company for you.Scan Through Additional Information

I'm so sorry you're here. At least here, though, you're among others who understand your situation because we're in it, or were in it, ourselves. Keep talking to us and we'll listen.
I am tired of feeling so repulsive to him. I do not want to fix him, I just wish he would get help and maybe show me that he ever loved me.
I see what his whores look like and they have nothing on me, yet it still makes me feel ugly and disgusting because he won't have anything to do with me. I cannot tell you the last time he kissed or even touched me in a non sexual way.
I keep asking myself why do I stay and put up with this, yet I cannot come up with an answer.
It actually feels as if he hates me. If he hates me so much, then why does he stay?
I am pretty good about dealing day in and day out, but today is just awful. I know he is currently acting out, but have no evidence. When I try to talk to him about it, he tells me "I don't want anyone else, I only want you." I reply back "Then why are you constantly adding more whores and objectifying women if you only want me?" He then tells me "I am not."
I have been here before. Nine other women that I know of. I do not even want to imagine what the real number is. I won't have sex with him because I do not want to catch anything. I have no idea what or who he is doing.
I know he beats off in park bathrooms and in parking lots in his truck.
Welcome, sister. I second the suggestion to regularly attend IC, hopefully with a certified sex addiction counselor (CSAT) or a licensed substance abuse counselor. They will have an excellent grasp of how to help you heal your wounds. I also hope you will find the courage and the time to attend some type of 12 step fellowship for IRL support. Whether it's S-Anon or Al-Anon, IRL support is crucial.
What a devastating discovery! I'm sure I'd be absolutely crushed and scared out of my mind. And furious. Incredibly furious. I'm praying for you and your babies and holding all of you in the light. FWIW I hope you can successfully keep SAWH away from them as much as possible.

NG, I would be devasted. I know you know it's likely not molestation, but I totally support you in supervised visitation only. Anyone who views teen porn and keeps porn where children *could* access it does not deserve unsupervised visitation. Keep strong. I'm sure if you allow the visitation (and feel free to have someone else there to support YOU when he comes to see the kids), the judge will see you are trying to be fair yet protect the kids.
rugsjack, welcome and sorry you have to be here. I totally agree with Sabina, get a CSAT for YOU, and give the 12 step groups some time or find a group therapy place to go. They told me go to at least six meetings before you pass judgement. If I had based my decision on the first meeting, I probably would not have come back. The beauty of the meetings is the companionship of others who understand what you are going through. The people that attend each week may change, and different meetings may flow differently. But I'd definitely go a few more times, ideally to different meetings if they are available to you, before you close the door on them.
Good luck to all of you. I will be thinking of you all this week.
Just to let you know, SAs often become so "damaged" by the view of sex they have that they cannot remember, or never really had a firm grasp on making love with someone they care about. Their addiction escalates to a level where they need more and more extreme images/experiences to get their "high." And so they reject us. It isn't personal, although it feels that way. And it takes a VERY long time to process that hurt.
I encourage you to take the advice of these wise women, they have BTDT. So have I. And as for S-anon, well, there is no way I would have survived my first year living this nightmare without my sisters at my meeting. Give it a fair shot, and keep posting. We'll help too.
rugsjack ~ I am sorry for your pain, sweetie. We've all been there. Is this a recent discovery or have you known he was an SA for awhile? First, you need to regain your footing and start building up your strength. We can help you, but real life support is also critical. Find a support group, see a therapist, whatever you need to do in order to rebuild yourself!
Take care of yourself, hon -- and keep us posted...
Find someone in real life, be it a counselor or someone you trust at church or in your family network. It will help you get both your feet on the ground.
Nature Girl - Normally, I associate burning bridges with a bad connotation; however, I found your video from a few posts back very empowering. Sometimes burning bridges is a good thing!
I'm sorry to hear about the situation with your daughter, and it definitely seems, even to the extent that you know about, that it was a grooming process most likely headed toward escalation. I wonder if you picked up on this on some "spidey" level, as Kat describes it? Anyway, it makes me ever so much prouder of you for taking the action that you have. Stay strong!
Hath - I read your post, and I feel what you're saying 1000%. (Although if it's any consolation, having news out in the public REALLY does suck.) I could be completely wrong about this, but I don't think anyone can ever be 100% into a relationship with an SA after they're aware of the addiction...maybe 90%, maybe even 95%, but not 100%. The odds of relapse are just too high to really put yourself out there fully, to be open, to trust, to be vulnerable 100%. And maybe it's unwise to ever be 100% into a relationship, but it's what we do when we're innocent and idealisic. And that's why when we discover the betrayal...well, it's so devastating. We had absolutely zero defensive walls up to protect us. It was a full-on assualt, surprise attack. And even though the relationship as it was during its active state may have been somewhat "fake," it was real to us, and I think it's okay and normal and healthy and good to grieve that...to grieve what had been "real" to us even if it was in truth, filled with lies and deception. And I just think it is so normal, Hath, to have questions at this point...to wonder, to be guarded, to almost "wish" things were worse so we could be forced to move on, to give up, to have a shot at a new, "untainted" relationship. Because we will probably never be 100% open again with our SA spouse, and as sensitive, loving human beings...that is very sad to us. Give it some time (I keep telling myself this, too.) And allow yourself to grieve the relationship as you thought it was before Dday. That is what I feel with myself right now, grief, and it is what I hear in your words, too. Lots of hugs.

WS seems to be doing well. Says he feels better about himself than he ever has in his life. Wishes I could "get inside" his brain, so I could "understand the difference." I told him that was great. Unfortunately my life felt the opposite, and I wished he could "get inside" my brain so he could "understand the difference."
I am just in limbo, in every sense of the word, with regard to my future. What will I be doing next year? Will I be doing something? Where will I be? Who will be with me? Will I be alone?
I hate not knowing...hate it, hate it, hate it...
Today marks one week since I asked WH to leave. He contacted me yesterday to ask me if I wanted to come over to his apartment. WTH??? Ummmmm, no. He did express what seemed to be genuine sorrow for hurting me. He again apologized. I am not swayed. But I do hope the time spent alone has given him some time to reflect.
I am also very afraid of what the future holds. I am about to turn 58 years old and I never imagined I'd be in this vulnerable position. But I continue to try to detach from him -- and try to stay in the moment. It's all I can do.
Hugs and strength to all...

Me: BS, 29

R? I think...
I just read your story, and I see so much of my own story in yours - especially the prevalent use of cybersex, texting and facebook in addition to the PAs. I am not a psychiatrist, but it sure sounds likes SA to me. And if it is SA, then your WH will never get better until he can admit that he is powerless to the addiction and gets help.
My experience: a regular therapist did no good for us. WS lied to our MC repeatedly...for years. He attended a few SA meetings before we were married, but decided his problem wasn't as serious as everyone else's there, that it only "triggered" him to behave worse when he heard their stories. He told himself that he would "grow" out of his "antics", especially after we were married. Well, long story, short: His "antics" only progressed and became more compulsive with each passing year.
Last night, WS and I were talking, and he said that he was proud that I had had enough gumption to call him "selfish" after he lost his job. He went on and on about how he had never thought about it before until I had said that to him, and how he had been mad at first but ultimately it had really opened his eyes.
The odd thing? I've told him he was selfish for years...it was just the first time he had heard it. It was the first time he was open to hearing it, and it took losing his job to jerk him into that reality.
I don't know...my WS just came back from a 6-week residential treatment program, which his parents helped to pay for (thank God). I'm still not convinced that he's in recovery. Part of me feels he is in remission and the acting out will flare up as soon as and whenever the opportunity arises. But I'm trying to be patient and give it time.
So as for your question with the CSAT...wow, I don't know what to tell you. He definitely needs help, but it will be expensive. Do you belong to a church that could perhaps help you out with some emergency funds? Do you have any family that can help?
For sure, take care of yourself and brace yourself for the worst. You may need to leave if he doesn't or can't get the help he needs. And even if he has the greatest help in the world, if he's not "ready," it won't help either. So many variables...
Post here anytime you need to. It has been my saving grace. Good luck to you Phoenix.
On the other hand, I experienced 10 years of sexual abuse from my grandfather, but I am not a SA, nor a cheater. I did go through some pretty bad times as a teen/young adult, though.
When he went to Keystone, they asked about his family, and he cried and said that he came from a "perfect family" and so he must really be a fucked up person because there was no excuse for why he was the way he was. It took him 3 weeks of daily therapy at Keystone, along with some prodding from me and information from his sister, for us to finally discover things from his childhood that he had completely blocked from his memory. In his case, there was no physical sexual abuse, but there was alcohol addiction leading to disease in his mother and observation of prevalent boundary-breaking from his father, including affairs. He also learned never to talk about his feelings, and that problems were crosses to be born alone. Is that abusive? Well, yes. Was it intentional abuse? No, absolutely not. Just dynamics of a dysfunctional family system. His family loves him very much, as is evidenced by their financial support of him now.
These are all things that a CSAT can help with though - FOO (Family of Origin) issues. We are all shaped by our FOOs and no FOO is perfect. Sometimes people are born into a dysfunctional FOO, and they become stronger people because of it...like nature girl and others on this forum. Sometimes people are born into a dysfunctional FOO, and they become overwhelmed...burying pain until they are almost forced to find an outlet for it, which is often addiction. Does your H have some type of abuse in his past? It is not 100% certain but it is very likely. For my WS, discovering his FOO memories were key to lifting the "fog" in his head and has been key to his transformation *thus far*. (Disclaimer: Whether he sticks with this recovery or not, well again, it is much too early to tell.)
What are your observations of your H's family?

ALWAYS BUSY – This place is always packed. Even the bar it is hard to get a drink. Everytime we have reservations we still have to wait a while for a table. The servers seem to be nice and knowledgable about the menu but I highly suggest NOT going with a large group. For my aunts birthday we went as a fmily and there were about 10 of us, My uncle is a very generous tipper and tipped 500 dollars on the tab and the 2 girls did not even than him and they obviously saw the tip. It will be dissappointing if you go in a group because of the wait and not having drinks refilled.
Best Cajun/Seafood Restaurant in San Antonio – Me & my husband have been dining at Pappadeauxs' for 15 yrs and think it's the best! My personal favorite restaurant in the whole city! Every time we dine there, the food is consistently delicious and the atmosphere is divine! They also have live music on occassion which is also great! Beautiful outdoor patio with lush foliage and fountains. We've had fresh steamed lobster, oysters, mahi and so many other wonderful dishes and they've all been FABULOUS! Unlike some other smaller restaurants that don't care about good customer service, Pappadeauxs always has a manager available to tend to any complaint (if you even have one), and they are always gracious, kind & understanding. The waitstaff is also first class. Can't complain about any bad visits in this category. Would put this restaurant at #1 of my "Must Dine At" list!
If my tastebuds died tomorrow, they've lived a blessed life! – We just moved to San Antonio, and mostly I've been cooking at home. I really can't compare Pappadeaux to other area seafood restaurants, but I absolutely loved my experience here. Since we chose to grab a table on the patio, we were sat immediately. We had the Boudin appetizer, and I can honestly say that if my tastebuds died and fell off tomorrow, I have now lived a full culinary life and would count myself lucky. It really was THAT GOOD! We split the Greek salad, which is plenty for two, although the dressing was a bit too brassy for a Greek salad, in my opinion. The salad was prepared for us fresh at our table, which I felt was a really nice touch. Having spent more years than I care to mention working in restaurants, I get a little annoyed when I can tell that my salad has been made ahead of time and stacked up in the fridge. Also, though I can't have gluten, the bread looked, smelled and even sounded fresh, hot, and crusty. My husband had the sea bass, and he loved it. I had the Texas Redfish, and although it might be a lot more fattening than the traditional fish-dish (as it is prepared in butter) it was completely worth the extra running I had to do the next day! It was paired with the highest quality and most flavorful vegetables I have ever had at a restaurant, and everything was seasoned perfectly.
The only detraction on the menu was that there were very few "stand alone" fish entrees. Everything was topped with at least one variety of shellfish. While our waiter was VERY attentive to my allergy issues, and went the extra mile to make sure that I wouldn't become exposed to the shellfish (I just had them leave it off) it seemed like I was paying for something I wasn't getting. I would have preferred some menu options that didn't require any tinkering.
Other than that-- I can't wait to go back!
Delicious High-Quality Cajun Seafood – I've dined at this location numerous times and have never had any complaints. Their staff is extremely accomodating, the atmosphere is perfect, and the food is exceptional. Will be a customer for life :)
A worm on the Oysters!!! – I just went to this place with my family and we ordered 2 dozen oysters, the ones for $3.95 a dozen. My nephew noticed something moving on one of the oysters. To our surprise, the thing was actually moving!!!! It was a super nasty worm. We had one of the employees call the manger for us, he came back and said "someone said everything is ok" and we said again: "we want to talk to a manager". This "manager" lady came wearing an apron and told us in a very calm tone that the worm on the oyster was normal!!!! that it was a "natural occurence"!!! How's that for a delicious meal and excellent customer service?!!! How extremely discusting!!! So...if you want to run the chances of bumping into a nice moving worm on your oysters, or shall we say: "a natural occurence", (according to the manager) on your oysters... Go ahead and go to this place. Soooo discusting!!!!!
Great place for a family gathering – Great food ,nice music and cajun atmosphere!Take a date or the family!
Not just great seafood! – I went on a Saturday night of the rodeo so it was packed, but I was perfectly content waiting at the bar, the bartender was attentive & timely. Kahlamari was wayy too salty. I ordered the filet mignon oscar AMAZING. With crab meat on top, a delicious sauce and good sized portions. Wonderful food, and all in all great place to eat & socialize
Great Food & Drinks – We flew in from California and stayed at a hotel nearby. We saw the parking lot full and asked at the hotel if we needed to make a reservation. He said no, but that it was mostly a seafood place. We were seated immediately and our waiter was a gem. Didn't have to wait long for the food, recommended certain food in detail and the drinks were perfect. The filet mignon was a big portion and so tender. If the atmosphere is right, waiting an hour is no big deal whereever we go. I highly recommend it. Marcy
Good seafood - worth the wait – Good Food, Worth the Wait :)
Portions are huge – When I am craving seafood, this is my place. The portions are huge and delicious. I like their fried calamari...it is always tender and crispy. Their dirty rice is so good, it has a great kick to it and the seafood is fresh as San Antonio can get it. You can order your seafood any way you want it; fried, blackened, etc...I have yet to have a bad meal here. It can get very busy very fast, so if you come at peak times the wait can be up to 30 minutes or longer. The service is good but the noise level can be bothersome. Like I said the food and service is good, the place is fun and loud, the portions are huge, and the desserts are out of this world (bread pudding and key lime pie) but the prices are a little high. So it is alway a treat.

DONGGUAN, CHINA (Nov. 20, 1:50 p.m. ET) — Japan's large plastics machinery industry, which has become increasingly dependent on the mainland Chinese market, has thus far avoided the big drop in sales seen by Japanese car makers in the wake of anti-Japan protests in September. Still, some non-Japanese suppliers are watching to see if they can get more business in China's growing market for all-electric presses, a sector in the past dominated by the Japanese.

I have been trying to contact them for weeks in regards to a finicial question. Have left countless voicemails, emails, and everything else. No manger here returns calls, and reading all these reviews it makes sense! STAY AWAY
Cory was very helpful, made sure I got exactly what I needed in a vehicle. I drove away with a new car. They worked with me on every level.
Our guys helped us with a variety in the scope of what we were looking for. They worked hard and got us more than what we thought we would be able to for the money. Thank you for giving me such a great experience and a really cool new Land ROVER!!

I was assured that I would be able to use the Car Care Service Plan at the Lexus dealership (the Lexus dealership is fabulous and provides complimentary loaner cars and SO much more). When it was time to have my car serviced at Lexus using the Car Care Service plan, I discovered that the Car Care Service Plan would only cover $36 of the service, which was not in the paperwork for the plan, and I had to pay for the difference myself. When I went back to Quality Mitsubishi to speak with them about the lack of coverage provided in the Car Care Service Plan, they did not offer ANY sort of compensation for my out of pocket cost from my services that they specifically told me would be covered and said I should have just gone to their dealership for the services. WHY WOULD I GO TO MITSUBISHI FOR MY SERVICES WHEN THEY SPECIFICALLY TOLD ME LEXUS IS A PART OF THE CAR CARE SERVICE PLAN!?!? The only thing I was able to do was cancel the plan. The managers, Steve, Aaron and the Finance Manager, Jonathan, were RUDE, condescending and unapologetic. I was warned about this dealership prior to purchasing my vehicle and try to take these types of reviews with a grain of salt; however, in this care, do yourself a favor and GO SOMEWHERE ELSE TO PURCHASE YOUR NEXT VEHICLE.
Quality Mitsubishi = Car Buying Nightmare – My husband and I purchased a 2008 Toyota Highlander from Quality Mitsubishi in February of this year. We were in love with the car until two months after we purchased the car and the horrible alignment shredded our tires (please keep in mind that we did not get into an accident or hit anything in the car). We got the alignment fixed and purchased all new tires to the tune of $800. We called Quality hoping that they would stand behind the car they sold and after several weeks of indecision they told us they could not help us. We took our lumps and went on with our lives hoping that our car was fixed. Unfortunately it was not and the alignment was severely off again in a few weeks. We then took it to a Toyota dealership in town who immediately looked at the car and knew there was something wrong. The something wrong was a bent Lower Left Control Arm, which cost us $1,400 to fix. We again called Quality to see if they could work with us since they had assured us that their 125 point check guaranteed a quality car but the car they sold us had obviously been in an accident before we purchased it. Instead of standing behind their product and their work Quality told my husband (in not so nice words) that it was our problem and not theirs. My recommendation to anyone purchasing a car is to stay away from Quality. They are a prime example of a dishonest car dealership and turned a positive experience of buying a new car into a nightmare.
DISHONEST AND RUDE – Two weeks after selling me, they came back with ridiculous new terms. Very high interest rate and wanting 12 years worth of documentation from my corporation. I have a credit score of 789, my business has an excellent credit score as well. My business owns 6 vehicles, so I know how easy the loan process should be and what data is necessary. I asked if they could do a business loan they said "of course", turns out they could not without ridiculous amounts of paperwork. When I wanted to cancel the deal, it was of course too late, they had already sold my previous vehicle. I later refinanced, but this company was very rude and dishonest.

I am beta testing 6 . . . I cannot get the extension panel to load . .. it just hangs up . . I do have two Fundy panels that work fine.
To be clear... From CS6, you are going:
Window > Extensions >
and have a list including Kuler and Mini-Bridge plus any others you have enabled from the CS6 Extension manager? When exactly is the crash occuring, and what is happening? Does CS6 freeze and close or what?
What platform and operating system are you using?
OK I have just Googled Fundy. Are there compability issues with Fundy and CS6?
Sorry Trevor that I didn't give enough information . .. have been trying to load this all day and am a bit frustrated. I am using Windows 7 on a 65 bit machine and I am testing CS6 . .... this is the onlyhiccup I have had so far and I just love the rest of it.
When I go to install Tony Kuyper's luminisoty extension panel I get hung up and it doesnt even finish loading. When I try to go the back door route and run extension panels as an administrator and then load the panel, the same thing happens.
My two Fundy panels work fine . . Image Brander and Blog Collage
Yes Kuler is there and mini Bridge seems to be working fine. Both are at the top of the panel.
Yes, we need to know the system type and OS, video card and if your drivers are up to date.
Second, please confirm that you did not point your additional plugins folder to an old CS5 or before folder, as loading duplicate plugins causes all sorts of crazy issues.
If Windows, are you running 32 or 64 bit Photoshop?
Next, can you tell me if PS launches fine before trying to load this extension?
How did you load the Fundy panels?
Did you go to Window>extensions as Trevor asked to try to launch it?
Can you tell me where I can get one of the extensions to try to reproduce the issue?
Yes, I am going Windows, Extensions . . .. have also tried the back door method of direct loading and running as administrator . ..CS6 does not seize up . .. .just the panel . .. photoshop continues to operate with no hiccups . .. it is just the panel and the spiining wheel . .. slightly annoying.
I have an NVIDIA High definitiion video card
Windows 7, 64 bit
HP laptop, 6 gb of RAM, 500 GB of hard drive space of which 160 are free space
This same extension panel installed just fine into 5 and I had no problems at all with it there . . no I do not have my panels pointed to 5 as to me it only made sense that there was enough of an upgrade that plugins etc needed to be reinstalled not just migrated over.
The Fundy panels were loaded with an exe file and went in slick as could be
Are you actually reinstalling these panels to CS6? When I installed CS6 the extensions from CS5 had been migrated from CS5. I just had to open the CS6 Extension Manager and enable them.
Yes Trevor, the manufacturer made two different panels . . .one for 6 and one for 5 . . I have written him . . . so far the other panels that worked in 5 do not have updates for them yet as I contacted the manufacturer of them. He said they were still beta testing as well.
It's most lkely that the TK ACTIONS panel was authored with Configurator. You're best bet is to hear back from Mr Kuyper's team.
From the screen shot, the panel looks fairly straight forward so it might be a niggly syntax problem.
Thanks heaps . . I was beginning to draw that conclusion . . have an e-mail into him. Thanks everyone . .
Just for the record . .. I love, love, love this new format . . .. the interface, the way mini bridge works, the background save, the faster respponse time, etc.
One quick thing to check, look in \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Panels for the TK panel. See if the name on the files inside this directory has spaces in them (ie. TK Actions.jsx, TK Actions.swf). If they do try renaming so the spaces are removed, and then relaunching Ps CS6.
Will do . .. I know the files are there . .. but I will check for the naming convention.
There is a dash . .. should that be removed?
Shouldn't hurt trying.
I don't normally follow the Adobe forums. A few people wrote me about this thread, but I had trouble finding it, so I apologize for the slow reply. Just for the record, I currently have versions of my custom actions panel which is referenced in this tread ( http://www.goodlight.us/writing/actionspanel/panel.html ) that work in both CS5 and CS6 beta. The CS5 version does NOT work in CS6 beta, but I've create a separate version of the panel for CS6 beta that does install OK in the new beta version of PS. If you have the CS5 version of the panel, please contact me for a complimetary version of the CS6 beta version of the panel if you are using CS6 beta. Both versions of the custom panel were made in Configurator 2.0. With the pending release of the final version of CS6 and Configurator 3.0, I'm uncertain as to what additional changes will be needed for the panel. I plan to keep the custom panel available, and once I have the new, final versions of the Adobe software, will have the final versions of the panel available for download. In the interim, please contact me if you need the CS6 beta version of the panel. Thanks.
Hi Tony,
I bought your excellent Lum Actions, are these the once you are refering to?
Henrik Tived
Just for information . . Tony's actions are amazing and better than that, he gives amazing service.l It doesn't get any better than that. The Extensions Panel seems to be giving other people issues on this forum, so brought this to this table. If you have them, contact him . .if you don't have the new panel form, it is well worth getting . .. beeeyoooootiful!!!
I contacted Tony yesterday as well and he got back to me last night saying he had a compatible CS6 version available to any registered user with issues.

NEW YEAR WILL BRING HIGHER TRAVEL PRICES, SAYS SURVEY With the coming year will come a continuing rise in business travel costs. These expenses, which rose 4.7 percent both in 1998 and in 1997, will grow at a comparably steady rate of 4.8 percent in 1999, according to a recent study by travel management experts at the Rochester, Wis.based consulting firm Runzheimer International.
The Runzheimer Business Travel Cost Forecast for 1999 based its predicted increase on the average of four major business travel expense categories--airfare, lodging, meals, and car rentals. Air travel costs are expected to increase the most--5.1 percent in 1999--as airlines have pushed U.S. round-trip coach fares into the $2,000plus level. According to the study, supply will exceed demand on higher-priced air segments, allowing companies to negotiate better deals with fares such as BostonLos Angeles and BostonSan Francisco.
PLANNING THE BUDGET? Projected growth rates for travel in '99 Air Travel - 5.1%
Lodging - 4.9%
Meals - 3.5%
Car Rental - 4.8%
Average 4.8%
Lodging rates will go up 4.9 percent, with hotel rates rising 12 percent in downtown areas and 7 percent in suburban and airport areas. However, says the report, more money is being invested in revamping marginal properties, making them reasonable alternatives to other costlier venues.
Other findings: Car rental costs will increase 4.8 percent in 1999, and meal costs will grow 3.5 percent--the lowest increase of all categories of business travel expenses.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 1999: INSURE IT! With the biggest date in 1,000 years just around the corner, celebrations are being planned worldwide. Because no plans are ever foul-proof, however, Victor O. Schinnerer & Company Inc. is offering a coverage designed to insure events celebrating the year 2000.
The Millennium Event Cancellation Program insures against expenses and gross revenue in the event of cancellation, interruption or postponement of any millennium-related celebration.
Says program manager Duane Repko: "A successful event is dependent on so many things, most of which are not in your control. Weather, strikes, power failures, or natural disasters may shut down cities or airports or cause serious delays. The result of such catastrophes could be financial disaster for hotels, cruise lines or promotional agencies.
"Any event tied to the millennium is exposed to potential risks, and our program is designed to protect the insured from these risks."
According to spokesperson Mary Jefferson, the insurance further covers any disasters related to the "Millennium bug" and even offers a reduced attendance option.
For more information, call the Millennium Hotline toll free at (888) RISK-2000 or visit the Schinnerer web site at www.schinnerer.com.

United Express is the brand name for the regional branch of United Airlines, under which eleven individually owned regional airlines operate short and medium haul feeder flights. Mainline carriers often use regional airlines to operate services in order to increase frequency, serve routes that would not sustain larger aircraft, or for other competitive reasons. They primarily connect smaller cities with United's domestic hub airports and focus cities, although they offer some point-to-point service such as Sacramento to Eureka.
On October 1, 2010, UAL Corporation and Continental Airlines merged to form United Continental Holdings, the holding company for the newly merged United Airlines. As Continental and United merged, Continental Connection and Continental Express has gradually adopted the United Express brand name, bringing the number of operators to twelve and the number of aircraft to over 550. The first aircraft painted into the new United Express livery was an Embraer ERJ-145 operated by ExpressJet.
As of November 30, 2011, after United had received its Single Operating Certificate following its merger with Continental Airlines, nearly 550 aircraft fly under the United Express brand.
On July 1, 2010, Pinnacle Airlines Corp. announced that Colgan Air would be merged into Mesaba Airlines. In September 2010, SkyWest, Inc., announced the merger of Atlantic Southeast Airlines and ExpressJet which will make ExpressJet the largest United Express carrier post merger.
History of United Express[edit]
Major airlines in the United States had long maintained relationships with regional carriers which fed passengers from small markets to larger towns. The Airline Deregulation Act spurred industry consolidation both vertically and horizontally, and as the hub system became more pronounced, airlines formalized these relationships through code sharing, shared branding, and listing regional partners in computer reservations systems. On May 1, 1985, United formally partnered with Air Wisconsin, Aspen Airways, and WestAir as United Express, feeding its hubs at Chicago-O'Hare, Denver-Stapleton, and San Francisco International Airports. Air Wisconsin and Aspen would merge in 1991.
In 1988, Presidential Airways became a United Express carrier for United's new hub at Washington Dulles International Airport, but soon floundered. In response, WestAir formed an eastern division to serve Dulles.[1] WestAir itself experienced turmoil; in 1991 it spun off the new division into an independent company, Atlantic Coast Airlines (ACA), which years later would go on to become Independence Air.
In 1992, Great Lakes Airlines became a United Express partner, followed by Trans States Airlines the following year. In 1997, as United officially designated Los Angeles International Airport one of its hubs, SkyWest Airlines became a United Express partner as well. Great Lakes left the United Express system in 2001, although it continues to codeshare some routes with United.
In 1993, Trans States Airlines started United Feeder Service, to operate British Aerospace BAe ATP aircraft for United Airlines. The aircraft, originally owned by Air Wisconsin, were transferred and subsequently owned by United. UFS operated routes to Chicago O'Hare (ORD) from close markets in the U.S. Upper Midwest. UFS was eliminated from the United Express carrier network in 1999, and disappeared.
When United declared for Chapter 11 reorganization in 2002, it pressured its regional partners for reduced fees. In 2004, ACA canceled its contract and reinvented itself as low-cost carrier Independence Air. The next year, Air Wisconsin unsuccessfully bid to retain its flying contract, thought it did retain some ground-handling United Express operations. To compensate, United initiated new service agreements with Colgan Air, Trans States subsidiary GoJet Airlines, and Republic Airways Holdings subsidiaries Chautauqua Airlines and Shuttle America.
In 2005, United announced that service levels on major United Express routes would be upgraded to a new product called explus. Routes with explus service offer first class seats and meal service on larger, 70-seat Embraer 170 and 66-seat Bombardier CRJ-700 aircraft.[2] Expanding the traditional regional partner role, United started to use the airplanes configured with explus amenities instead of, or alongside with, mainline jets on routes linking large cities, such as Chicago to Houston.
United announced a new Express focus city at San Antonio International Airport in 2006, but the experiment was short-lived.
United decided to cancel Dash 8 and CRJ200 service with Mesa Airlines in November 2009.[3] On November 16, 2009 it was announced that ExpressJet would begin operating Embraer ERJ 145 beginning in the spring of 2010.[4] Dash 8 and Mesa Airlines CRJ200 service stopped.
All Continental Express and Continental Connection service officially merged into United Express in late 2011.
On April 1, 2012, Pinnacle Airlines Corp. filed for bankruptcy and announced it would draw down its Colgan Air operation. In May, United reached a deal with Republic Airways Holdings for its subsidiary Republic Airlines to fly the Q400 in Colgan's place. The eight year capacity purchase agreement includes all 28 aircraft previously operated by Colgan as well as four currently flown by Republic for Frontier Airlines.

Accidents and incidents[edit]
- On December 26, 1989, United Express Flight 2415 operated by North Pacific Airlines, a BAe Jetstream 31 crashed on approach to Tri-Cities Airport near Pasco, Washington. The four passengers and two crew members onboard were killed. The crew executed an excessively steep and unstabilized ILS approach. That approach, along with improper air traffic control commands and aircraft icing, caused the aircraft to stall and crash short of the runway. [6]
- On January 7, 1994, Atlantic Coast Airlines Flight 6291operated for United Express, a BAe Jetstream 41 crashed on approach] to Port Columbus International Airport. Five passengers and three crew members were killed and three passengers survived the accident. The NTSB report concluded the aircraft was never properly stabilized for the approach to 28L. The aircraft slowed to a stall, which was not recognised by the flight crew in a timely manner. The subsequent stall recovery was performed contrary to the Airplane Flight Manual procedure, which resulted in the aircraft impacting the ground less than 2 miles from the runway.
- On November 16, 1996, United Express Flight 5925 operated by Great Lakes Airlines, a Beechcraft 1900 collided with a King Air during landing at Quincy Regional Airport. The ten passengers and two crew members onboard were killed. The pilots of the King Air were blamed for failing to effectively monitor both the common frequency and to scan for traffic. [6]

One more question about sabers... Though red blades are of course forbidden for a Jedi (by the way, I remember reading somewhere that red crystals were made out of suffering, that would explain why no Jedi would carry one unless under special circumstances). Is there such a rule regarding the design/style of the hilt itself ?
I am thinking of buying one from a saber smith, but I'm afraid the design might be a little too Sith-like.

What he said - in addition, no obvious Sith sabers (a Vader, Maul, Dooku, etc.) would be allowed. Best bet? Post up a pic of it in the forum and you'll get some good feedback.

No red blade sabers for the RL, got it. That's the rule and will live by it for any events I attend. I just finished my latest saber which has the capability to change blade colors to any color under the rainbow. The saber is powered by an Igniter R2 soundboard which can color mix a red, green, blue, amber LED. The R,G,B are used for the main blade color with amber reserved for the clash flashes. At the touch of a button I can go from a red blade to blue, cyan, green, purple, orange, yellow, white, etc.
But here is my question. What about the color of the hilt itself? Mine is black, black chrome and red chrome. Is red on the hilt itself acceptable? Here is a picture and video.

Here's a pic. I should have started with this. I'd buy this one from Saberforge with a blue or purple blade, but although it doesn't seem to reproduce any known Sith character, the style might be too "darkside". Your feedback would be appreciated !

Well, it is certainly an aggresive design, but as far as I know there is no standard that would keep you from using it. The guideline as they stand only address blade color.

I think it's a nice saber (both of them, actually) And I personally don't see any reason, why a certain design would be off limits to jedi (Except double bladed, which I believe are frowned upon by the order), unless it's something with sith markings or stuff like that

well, I'm not sure what goes here
I just think I read somewhere that the Jedi Counsel sometimes frowned upon double bladed sabers, as they were considered "sith" - I can't remember which book/comic/other source though
I personally wouldn't design a Jedi with a double blade, but I think I've approved one for our RPG once

The type of saber has nothing to do with being Sith or Jedi. It is just a different form of... well, Form.
The standard Lightsaber is regarded as one of many different sword-type forms. The Saber Pike is regarded as spear or bisento (samurai axe/horse sword) form. The Saberstaff is regarded as a quarterstaff type form. No different from staff fighting in any culture, just bladed.
It depends of which of the seven forms of lightsaber combat you focus on as to which lightsaber you choose.

Taken from Wookieepedia (and thereby known to maybe be wrong
However,the Jedi Council traditionally frowned on use of saberstaffs, believing a traditional lightsaber was enough, and considering the double-bladed lightsaber little more than a weapon designed to kill more effectively, while the Jedi developed the lightsaber to defend. Though there was no rule forbidding its use, the Jedi discouraged their students from attempting to create or use this weapon.[1]
The entry is supposed to be taken from Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force - but I am not home at the moment, so I have no means of checking it
So I wouldn't consider a double blade the typical jedi sword

To me its pretty simple..no red blade and if it looks really sith like you probably shouldn't use it as a jedi. There is no official restriction as such except not using face character sith sabers, but kids will call you out on it more than you'd think. I don't think there is anything wrong with having a staff saber myself, but again its not acceptable.

A double-bladed lightsaber IS acceptable. They're just uncommon is all, with a few examples (Bastila and Satele Shan, for instance) to prove the point. The only restrictions are set on color and character sabers.

Ok so I have a question.
Plastic hilted lightsabers are not being accepted because they look like toys.
this is a problem for my character Plo Koon because the ONLY 2 lightsabers with the correct hilt are either the 350 dollars metal one made by parks or the rubies plastic extendable one.
Here's the thing... what is I was to grab the rubies one (The molding on that hilt is REALLY accurate and wel done) Chromed it to look metallic and replaced the innards with the electronics from my MR Force FX Blue Anakin Lightsaber inside it in such a way that the blade can be disconnected?
I mean if the hilt appears to the eye to be metallic, is accurately molded and detailed and has a correct sized and colored blade with real sounds from the movie... it should pass right?
It would take a lot of modification but between that and spending 350 bucks Plus about 50 more in shipping and handling PLUS taxes for international shipping that will cost me 50 more for a total of 450 dollars for Plo Koon's lightsaber, the decision I think it's pretty easy to make isn't it?
I understand on generic Jedi or the main characters because most of their lightsabers have been made by MR EFX or custom blade artisans at reasonable prices but Plo Koon's saber is and exception to the rule because of how rare and expensive it is to buy one that is not ridiculously expensive or that takes 4 months to be made and shipped.

Beware: Boogie Bunnies, the new action/puzzle game from Sierra Online, is one of the most painfully adorable games of all time. This is the kind of game that is made to just melt your heart, the kind of game that will make your girlfriend "ooh" and "ahh" while you attempt to earn achievements. I say this at the beginning of the review because I know that there are plenty of gamers out there who would rather not touch anything that looks like it's for babies. Boogie Bunnies is so over-the-top cute that it could potentially turn you off of all games in the future, no matter what company makes them or what system they are on.
But if you're able to get past the excessive cuteness and the annoying bunny rabbits, then you will find that Boogie Bunnies isn't a half bad action game. This ten dollar Xbox Live Arcade game doesn't exactly cover any new ground, but it's enjoyable enough to keep casuals gamers busy until the next best thing comes out. While it's true that this game is littered with questionable design decisions, part of me feels like this game would have been a lot better served without the non-stop Teletubbies-style assault on my poor eyes.
In a lot of ways Boogie Bunnies feels like a variation on Taito's classic puzzler, Puzzle Bobble (also known as Bust-A-Move). Except in this game you aren't trying to match bubbles, instead in Boogie Bunnies you are in charge of tossing colored bunny rabbits towards a line of dancing boogie bunnies. The object of this game (like Puzzle Bobble and so many other puzzle games) is to match up three or more bunnies; once you've done that you will erase a group of bunnies and potentially create a chain reaction of matched bunnies.
At the beginning of each round there are several parallel lines of dancing bunnies. You are just one bunny looking at this line-up of colored bunnies, so it's up to you to line up your shot and match as many of the bunnies as possible. But you better be quick, because every few seconds the bunnies will get a little closer, until they get so close to the side that they start to fall in a small lake, big cavern or whatever else separates you from the line of dancing rabbits. Once the bunnies are starting to fall in you know you're in trouble, lose too many of these rabbits and it's game over for you.
This basic premise (throw a bunny, match a bunny, clear the board of bunnies) is repeated numerous times over the course of the game. You'll start in the forest, but eventually you'll work your way to beach, snowy mountains and city streets. But don't get too excited, the action doesn't actually change when you go from level to level.
The biggest problem with a game like this isn't that it's cute, that in a lot of ways is completely beside the point. My issue is that there's not much to the game, the basic gameplay is repeated level after level, which gets old quickly. The gameplay itself is as barebones as you get, the most you are capable of doing is moving around a small chunk of land and throwing yourself into the line of dancing bunny rabbits. This gameplay mechanic isn't exactly the most inspired thing you will ever see, and in a lot of ways you'll feel like you've seen everything there is to see only seconds after you turn on the game.
Oddly enough there are a few different ways to play the game, including an arcade mode, classic mode and an endless mode. The arcade and classic modes are practically identical, which makes me wonder why Artech Studios decided to split them up in the first place. On the other hand, the endless mode is cool ... if all you want to do is stay in one location throwing bunnies trying to earn a new score. Either way, these modes aren't very original and certainly won't change the way you look at the game. Unfortunately neither will the multiplayer modes, which we are better off not talking about.
The graphics and sound are perfectly acceptable, they are neither good nor bad, they simply exist as cute cartoon-like bunny rabbits doing ridiculous (and monotonous) dance routines for no reason at all. This is the kind of thing that will appeal to a younger gamer, even though the core gameplay will no doubt put them right to sleep. In other words, the graphics and sound are definitely not the problem with this shallow action game.
But despite my better judgment, there's just something I like about this game. Perhaps it's the fact that games are inherently entertaining, so no matter how disappointing something is, we still want to give it the benefit of the doubt and enjoy it. But part of me kept coming back wanting more, if only so that I could better my score and beat that annoying single-player campaign. There's nothing grand or deep about Boogie Bunnies, but if you're looking for a lighthearted action game starring a bunch of cute little bunnies, then you could do a whole lot worse than this game. This is worth a look, but beware that this is one of the cutest games currently available on the Xbox Live Arcade.

The University of Virginia is partnering with a Richmond based company, MeadWestvaco, to change the future of packaging adhesives.
Dr. Louis Bloomfield, a professor of physics at UVa, describes the material as being the "molecular equivalent of Velcro." The material bounces like a ball, stretches like silly putty, and sticks like glue but it's hard to describe exactly what it is.
"What I call it technically is, viscoelastic silicone rubber. It needs a good name. Alas, the great name "flubber" is already taken, but it's kind of a crazy material like flubber," Bloomfield said.
The rubber can be shaped into anything after it's baked. You can squish it, but it will always go back to its original shape.
Bloomfield says he got the idea from wanting to solve a simple problem that many are all too familiar with: How do you stop a four-legged table from rocking?
It took many years, but Bloomfield said he has finally perfected the goo.
"Finally, I got a material that is really good at doing that exact task. It perfectly fills gaps if your patient, but it supports like crazy if you're impatient and poke," Bloomfield said.
The new invention is now attracting the attention of the Richmond-based company, MeadWestvaco. They are looking into using the substance in all sorts of packaging in the future.
"What we are working on is developing a strange adhesive, a coating you can put on surfaces, just as thin as can be. When those two surfaces touch they grab onto each other firmly, but if you're patient and pull them apart they let go, and come apart without damage, so that you can do this hundreds of times," Bloomfield said.
He also said that a packaging adhesive is only the beginning for this material. "My hope is it will end up in your shoes, it'll end up on the handle of canes, and on the grips of underarm pieces of crutches," he said.
Bloomfield's list of uses for the material goes on and on. For right now, he is working closely with MeadWestvaco and said they hope to have a working prototype of the packaging closures finished by the end of the year.

If I have time to watch one game this weekend, which game should I watch?
The Class 7A championship between Glenbard West and Lincoln-Way East. Hands down.
Both have great defenses. Both are well-coached, have solid running games and have the abilities to throw when required. Glenbard West has star power in senior wide receiver Nathan Marcus (Vanderbilt) and senior defensive end Ruben Dunbar. East counters with Northern Illinois-bound quarterback Tommy Fuessel and two nasty-good linebackers, seniors Adam O'Grady and Kyle Langenderfer.
Expect this to be as physical as any game this weekend. Overtime, anyone?
Who are some of the top prospects in the state finals?
Class 3A: Aurora Christian features three Northern Illinois recruits: wide receiver Chad Beebe, running back/linebacker Joel Bouagnon and running back/defensive back Brandon Mayes.
Class 4A: Rochester quarterback Austin Green is committed to Eastern Illinois and running back/linebacker Garret Dooley is committed to Wisconsin.
Class 5A: Montini has several Division I prospects: offensive tackle Tate Briggs, lineman Fred Beaugard, wide receiver/defensive back Joe Borsellino, running back Dimitri Taylor and defensive end Dylan Thompson. Morris tight end/defensive end Danny Friend is committed to Indiana and running back/linebacker Jeff Perry is committed to Central Michigan.
Class 6A: Crete-Monee has several top prospects, including the No. 1-ranked wide receiver, Laquon Treadwell, and junior linebacker Nyles Morgan.
Class 7A: Glenbard West features Marcus and Dunbar, who has several offers. Along with Fuessel, Lincoln-Way East has senior wide receiver Justin Corbett and junior offensive guard Nick Allegretti.
Class 8A: Glenbard North junior running back/defensive back Justin Jackson has several offers. Mount Carmel features Illinois State-bound running back Draco Smith and linebacker D.J. Romero and Eastern Illinois recruit Vince Speller. Also watch out for junior running back Matt Domer, junior offensive lineman Nate Oquendo and junior defensive tackle Enoch Smith Jr.
Who's the best player in the finals I haven't heard much about?
Either Rochester's Dooley or Aurora Christian's Bouagnon. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Dooley is projected to play linebacker at Wisconsin but will be a load to handle running the ball for the Rockets on Friday. Wonder how Northern Illinois is getting it done? Look no further than a player like the 6-2, 227-pound Bouagnon, who transferred to Aurora Christian from Burlington Central this summer. He might not have a marquee name, but he has major D-I abilities.
Where can I watch the games if I can't make the trip to Champaign?
Comcast SportsNet Chicago will carry the games live in the Chicago area. Check with your cable provider for channel information. The state football finals will also be streamed live on ESPN3.com.
What could be a hidden factor in the finals?
The weather. According to early forecasts, we better dress warm Friday and Saturday, as temperatures are expected to be in the upper 40s Friday in and the upper 30s Saturday. Winds, which always seem to be stronger at Memorial Stadium, also are expected to be an issue on Friday in particular.

Dubai ki Chakkar
Ok. so it is 45 degrees in the shade. And I must be demented to be Dubai bound at this time of the year. But I do have a daughter and son living there... and you know the rest about ma ki mamta etc. I'll be away for a week, bonding with the best. Like Akki, I may not 'waste ' my time blogging from there. But unlike Akki, my brain just might start shrinking in that desert, forcing me to seek more fertile pastures via the blog. Keep visiting. Am keeping my fingers crossed I don't get a Mika type passenger next to me. The last time I was returning from Kolkata, guess who was seated a row away? Yup, it was Mika. Lips all puckered up to kiss the first victim, after Rakhi Sawant.

CME/Industry Relations
I read with interest the article "ACCME Draws the Line" (September/October 2007, page 9). You did a nice job bringing to light some issues that need to be addressed.
I have worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 30-plus years and one thing that to this day still amazes me is this term "firewall." Within the CME arena the word firewall is a term that should mean there is complete separation between the promotional side of medical education and the CME side of medical education.
We see arrangements all the time where an Agency of Record manages the pharma client's brand, the publications plan, advisory boards, sales rep training, etc., and the sister company, a CME vendor, is allowed to submit detailed CME proposals to the CME team of the same pharma company. Is anyone really naïve enough to think that these two med-ed companies — one promotional, one CME — are not sharing information? Dream on. Even though the work is being handled by two different companies, they report up to the same parent company. Do you really think there isn't cross-communication somewhere within the companies? Hmmm…I have a plot of land in a swamp I want to sell you.
What should we do about this? One solution I suggest is a simple one: Any agency, no matter how big or small, doing promotional work at any level on a brand, including publication planning, should be prohibited, as should any and all of their subsidiary or sister companies, from doing CME work on the same brand, within the same company. PERIOD. No exceptions, no arguments. Eliminate the conflict. Eliminate the temptation. When you do this, there will be no need for people to invent terms that really have no purpose but to make one feel good — like the word: firewall.

"How are they funding CME?"
Good editorial ["Shape CME's Future," September/October 2007, page 6]. You state that "Some providers have already disallowed commercial support." I would like to see a report from these providers telling us how they are funding CME and what changes they have had to make. Surely, their activity has been reduced? And how have they managed to set priorities?

Professor & Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Designated Institutional Official University of Tennessee College of Medicine, Chattanooga, Tenn.
Editor's note: If you have reduced or eliminated commercial support and would like to share your experiences, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
"Just to let you know"
I just read Ann Lichti's article [Evaluation Commercial Bias" September/October 2007, page 19]. I just wanted to let you know there is an official Accreditation Council for CME definition of commercial bias, in the ACCME glossary at www.accme.org: "A personal judgment in favor of a specific proprietary business interest of a commercial interest."

Eric Weinrich remembers when his legs felt so heavy from fatigue, he struggled to swing them over the hockey arena sideboards and return to the ice. When his brain was so tired, it worked instinctively.
Eric Weinrich, right, who starred at North Yarmouth Academy and the University of Maine, plays for Chicago in 1998, the last of his five seasons with the Blackhawks.
1998 Associated Press file
Eric Weinrich
He remembers the pure joy of winning and the sharp heartbreak of losing. The star defenseman at North Yarmouth Academy and the University of Maine played 81 games of playoff hockey during 17 seasons in the NHL. Weinrich won't say he's reliving his own career when he watches the Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks play this final series for professional hockey's biggest prize.
He can say he knows what pushes men to test themselves in extraordinary ways while chasing the chance to hold aloft the Stanley Cup, something he was never able to do.
"Sometimes I wonder," said Weinrich, 46. "Would I have traded all those seasons, all my experiences, for one season and the Stanley Cup? That would be a tough one to answer."
He intends to watch Monday night's Game 6 from his home in Yarmouth. The Blackhawks, after winning Game 5 in Chicago on Saturday, can take the best-of-seven series with one more victory at TD Garden in Boston. A Bruins win would send the series back to Chicago for Game 7 on Wednesday.
Weinrich knows both cities well. As a younger man, he played five seasons with the Blackhawks, beginning in 1993. Eight years later he was traded to the Bruins for part of one season.
"I have friends on either team but no allegiances," said Weinrich, who is a pro scout for the Buffalo Sabres. "I'm just a fan."
That's true, but not accurate. He was introduced to hockey when his father brought him to a frozen pond near their home in the Kennebec County town of Gardiner some 40 years ago. Weinrich may be retired, but he's a hockey player, an NHL lifer. The intensity of playoff hockey that we see but can only imagine, Weinrich knows.
He was a defenseman's defenseman when he played in the NHL, blocking two shots with his stick or body for every one he scored. He wasn't a big talker or a fighter. He was a standup guy, accepting responsibility. An English major at UMaine, he always could take in the larger world around him.
He watched a trainer tape Ken Daneyko's stick to his glove after Daneyko broke his hand and refused to come out of a playoff game. Daneyko and Weinrich were teammates with the New Jersey Devils in the late 1980s, and that moment wasn't lost on Weinrich.
He knows the wear and tear on bodies that have been hit countless times and knocked down often since the season began. Muscles that cry from fatigue and cuts and bruises that bleed. The exhaustion that comes from simply telling your body to do more again and again because it's the playoffs.
Yes, Weinrich can call himself a fan, but fans don't have his understanding of a brutally intense game.
"For these guys to be so close, one win away from winning the Stanley Cup, I can't even imagine," said Weinrich. "When you get to this point, you're almost numb. Everything, except for game time, seems like you're in a fog. You save all your energy for the game."
Many playoff games go into an overtime period. Or a second overtime. Or a third. Weinrich remembers his own marathons. "It's survival," he said. "You're tired. You have to use all your senses, knowing where your guys are and where their guys are. What helps is knowing they're feeling it just like you.
"One of the things that gets lost in the fury of the game is how you start doing so many things instinctively. I'm a defenseman. Someone dumps the puck in my end and I'll take a look over my shoulder without thinking and know exactly who's behind me, where, and what I'm going to do. You practice these things over and over and over and this is where it's helping you most."
Then there's the crowd. Blackhawks fans are just as boisterous as Bruins fans. Weinrich played in Chicago Stadium, before it was demolished in 1995. Madhouse on Madison, it was called. When the largest pipe organ in the world (more than 3,000 pipes) sounded the first notes of "The Star-Spangled Banner," the crowd would erupt.
"Boston is loud, but in Chicago it was like nothing you've ever experienced," he said. "You couldn't hear the guy singing. My body was shaking at the end. It was hard to keep your composure; it didn't hurt your adrenaline level at all."
The crowd has been just as noisy in the new arena, the United Center. Nonstop noise. Even casual fans don't need to be told what's at stake when they tune in playoff games in Chicago or Boston. The noise tells the story. It follows what sometimes seems like long, uninterrupted minutes of play. This isn't baseball or football or even basketball with their constant stoppages.
"I love the fact the games are so spontaneous," said Weinrich.
His Blackhawks reached the Western Conference finals in the 1994-95 season before losing to the Detroit Red Wings in five games. Three of Detroit's four wins came in overtime. Conference winners move on to the Stanley Cup finals. It was the closest Weinrich would get to the prize.
He knows the joy of being on winning teams in the playoffs. "It's an amazing feeling to win a series," he said. "It gives you a feeling of being a little more invincible. I know what I've done and I've just got to keep it going.
"To lose, it's really heartbreaking. You're in disbelief it's over. It's devastating. You play all season just for this chance. You're pretty drained. You really can't think of anything.
"You look around the locker room. All of us have been fighting for each other. It's a bond. It's more than a game."
It's the Stanley Cup playoffs.
