I can see the arguments about the accuracy of the posted speed limit and the changes needed in the backend to support this new piece of information. One thing I can see that waze could do easily is to change the color of the speedometer circle (just the outline of the circle) to a different color. Black (same as now) if you are within 10% of the AVERAGE speed of the segment at that day of week/time over the past week or month. Red outline if 10% above the AVERAGE, and yellow if 10% below the AVERAGE speed of the segment. No need for a sound, popup or anything. (although some may like/want it)
This would help people that are unfamiliar with the area to know what the average speed normally is. They would still be responsible to find out the actual speed LIMIT, but at least they will not be going way too slow and get rear ended.
This type of system would not require much of a backend change since waze already has the data and they are not trying to represent a limit, only an average.
Just my thoughts.

Expanding your business to the Las Vegas area has never been made as easy as with expandinjax.
Business development to Las Vegas and Clark County comprises a number of tasks and processes generally aiming at developing and implementing growth opportunities between multiple organizations. It is a subset of the fields of business, commerce, and organizational theory. Business development is the creation of long-term value for an organization from customers, markets, and relationships.
When looking to expand your company to the Las Vegas area, JaxUSA partnership will use the same processes used in Northeast Florida regional development partnership and apply it to Las Vegas area.
Las Vegas, being one of the fastest growing city in USA, it is expected that expanding a business to this city and state would be highly beneficial.
Help us help you moving to Las Vegas with expandinjax
Our business development professionals have extensive experience in financial services, investment banking or management consulting
Our professionals will be of great asset when expanding to the fabulous city of Las Vegas. Las Vegas will provide your business with tourists customers from all over the United States and the world as well.
A business based around tourism will highly benefit from being established here. As is the case in Northeast Florida.
The major attractions in Las Vegas are the casinos and the hotels. Most of the hotel casinos are in the city's downtown area, which has been the focal point of the city's gaming industry since its early days.
Most casinos are downtown on the Fremont Street Experience, The Stratosphere being the major exception. Fremont East, adjacent to the Fremont Street Experience, was granted variances to allow bars to be closer together, similar to the Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego, the goal being to attract a different demographic than the Strip attracts.
The gambling and entertainment industry in Las Vegas is mostly focused in the Las Vegas Strip. The Strip is not actually located incity limits, but instead in the surrounding unincorporated communities of Paradise and Winchester. The largest and most notable casinos and buildings are located there.
The city is home to several museums including the Neon Museum home to many of the historical signs from the valley, The Las Vegas Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, the Las Vegas Natural History Museum, Lied Discovery Children's Museum, National Atomic Testing Museum, and the Old Las Vegas Mormon State Historic Park.
On the first Friday of each month, the "First Friday" celebration is held, which exhibits the works of local artists and musicians in a section of the city's Downtown region called the "Arts District".[40]
The Thursday prior to First Friday is known in the 18b Arts District as "Preview Thursday". This evening event highlights new gallery exhibitions just opening throughout the district.
The Southern Nevada Zoological-Botanical Park, also known as the Las Vegas Zoo, exhibits over 150 species of animals and plants.
The Las Vegas Academy of International Studies, Performing and Visual Arts is a Grammy award-winning magnet school located inDowntown Las Vegas.
The $485 million Smith Center for the Performing Arts is located downtown in Symphony Park. The center hosts Broadway shows and other major touring attractions as well as orchestra, opera, ballet and dance performances.

School's Out Forever
Capital Queer Prom reclaims paramount rite of passage
by Will O'Bryan
Photography by Todd Franson
Published on February 28, 2008, 12:00am | Comments
Ebone and Anastasia in vintage tux and gown from Meeps Vintage Fashionette. Michael wears a vintage tux shirt and sport coat from the Remix. Boutonierres and corsage from Company Flowers.
The flowers. The limo. The tux. The gown. The after-party. The trappings of the prom certainly beat other rites of passage, whether it's getting grounded as punishment or getting bullied as convention. For GLBT kids, however, the whole satiny affair could often stand some tweaking.
''It was very straight,'' remembers Ebone Bell, of her Sherwood High School Class of 1999 prom. ''It was nice because I was with my friends, but it wasn't me. I went with a guy. I was very uncomfortable, because I was in a dress, done up from head to toe. I'd even gotten extensions.''
While Bell doesn't have a time machine to go back and do prom right -- in a tux with the homecoming queen on her arm -- she and her business partner, Brianne Croteau of B.O.I. Productions, are doing the next best thing: the Capital Queer Prom.
Following a successful women's prom on the Spirit of Washington in 2006, this second event has been expanded to include not only every letter in the GLBT rainbow, but allies as well. The Queer Prom kicks off at 8 p.m., Saturday, March 8, at Almas Temple, 1315 K St. NW. But, as this is the prom, there's a little more to it than buying a ticket and showing up.
What about a fly ride? Chariots for Hire is offering a 15 percent discount to anyone who mentions the Queer Prom when making a reservation. And their chariots run the gamut. Classic mobility comes in the form of six-passenger Lincoln. At the other end of the spectrum is the ozone-busting, 20-passenger Hummer with flat-screen TVs, bars, fiber-optic lighting and bling for miles.
''I would recommend reserving sooner rather than later,'' says Courtney West, owner of Chariots. ''We're already starting to get booked up.''

Then there are the clothes, which might be vintage fabulous, rental traditional, or just about anything that brings out the prom queen in you. Meeps Vintage Fashionette and The Remix have the funky side of it covered, with offerings ranging from retro sport coats and tuxedos that scream Dean Martin to Jean Harlow-esque gowns. Contemporary tuxedo help -- for men or women -- comes from Masters Tuxedo in Arlington, or After Hours at the Westfield Wheaton, where Bell had her own tux pants fitted.
Don't forget the foliage. Company Flowers in Arlington is standing by with a wide variety of roses, orchids and ribbons to top off that prom-tastic look with either boutonnieres or corsages. While you may have some favored flower in mind, Company's Brittany McGarrah warns that some concession must be made to practicality: ''There's a little bit of limitation. You have to have something that won't wilt out of water.'' On the other hand, Company Flowers offers a great selection of ribbons to make sure your flowers are tied in a color matching that gown or cummerbund.
But don't tell the chauffeur to hit the prom just yet. Flash your prom tickets at Grillfish, 1200 New Hampshire Ave. NW, for 15 percent off pre-prom dinner.
Then, after the prom pictures have been snapped, that dances danced, it's time for the ultimate in prom redux -- the coolest prom after-party ever.
''I was a little bit of a nerd,'' Bell confesses. ''I didn't go to the cool after-party, but the cheesy one the school sponsored at the rec center.''
Not so this time around, as Town Danceboutique, at 2009 8th St. NW, is offering free admission to the prom parade.
The 2nd Annual Capital Queer Prom is Saturday, March 8, at 8 p.m., at Almas Temple, 1315 K Street NW. Age 21 and up. Tickets are $50. Proceeds benefit The Wanda's Will Project. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.eventboi.com/prom2008.html.

The resort itself is fairly small - only 40 units total. The resort was well kept and very clean. They could use an updated elevator. Activities could have been better - few and far between. The activities director was hard to utilize - either she was too busy and at another resort. Got the impression she could care less about her guests. When we did get help from her, the info she gave us was not correct. But overall, our family had a wonderful time here.

The beachfront was nice and the pool area was never crowded. There were plenty of activities nearby and the staff arranged a lot of them. It was very easy to win free tickets for parasailing, deep-sea fishing, and snorkeling excursions while playing some BINGO.

We were amazed as to how many activities there were to do nearby. We planned on going to Disney World for two days. After that first day, we went straight back to the beach/resort. We all felt more comfortable at the resort swimming at the pool and digging on the beach.
It was the relaxing family vacation that we all needed.

The resort had a small pool and hot tub on-site and that was the extent of the amenities. Few on-site activities were offered -- although they did offer a get-together party. Unfortunately we were not able to attend since it rained & had to be rescheduled.
The resort sits right on the beach -- which is a gorgeous white sand beach.

Summary of Dick Francis's Bloodline Summary of Dick Francis's Bloodline Reviews for Dick Francis's Bloodline An Excerpt from Dick Francis's Bloodline
When race caller and television presenter Mark Shillingford calls a race in which his twin sister, Clare, an accomplished jockey, comes in second when she could have won, he believes the worst: that she deliberately lost, and the race was fixed.
When Mark confronts Clare with his suspicions, she storms off—and it's the last time Mark sees her alive. Hours later, Clare jumps to her death from the balcony of a London hotel. Devastated and guilt-ridden over her death, Mark goes in search of answers. Why would Clare throw a race? What led her to take her own life?
Or was it not suicide at all?
Praise for BLOODLINE by Felix Francis:
"Francis knows how to control this wild run of a plot and also knows how to create a conflicted character in the midst of crisis. A stunning addition to the family line."—Booklist (starred review)
"With "Gamble" in 2011 and now "Bloodline," Felix Francis shows that the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree…the story unfolds with the suspense and insistent pace readers expect from their annual Francis fix."—Washington Times

Mon - Sat, 10am - 8pm; Sun, 11am - 5pm
unfair to workers! – i was interviewed and hired at Unique Super Tan on April 7th 2012. I started my *unpaid* training the following week. I trained for 7days, all of which included doing all of the store cleaning alone (cleaning beds,vaccuming ect.), while the girl getting paid to work watched. In the mean time i memorized all the lotions, packages, and how many lamps were in each bed. i worked really hard for this job. However, when it came time to put me on the schedule, i recieved no phone calls, no messages, and no emails. After all the time, effort and free work i put in they thought i didnt even deserve a phone call. When i contacted Unique Super Tan, i spoke with the owner (julie), i asked her why i was not contacted and put on the schedule. She responded "i was waiting for your phone call, I didn't know if you still wanted the job." I asked her "why would you think i didnt want the job after i worked really hard for free for 7days"? She then told me "you have no enthusiasm, the other girls (her daughters) said you didnt look happy" and then offered to let me do MORE free training (how nice!). After I declined her offer of letting me work for free, she then asked me "did you lie about being a tanner"? I later seen they had put up a craigslist add for the position. So i put up an add outing them and sharing my experience. The very same night i recieved an email from a girl thanking me for posting what i did, she had the same experience with Unique Super Tan 4 months earlier. Unique Super Tan is unfair to their employees, they promise people jobs and do not follow through. If you agree that an employer should treat people fairly, please show them it is NOT okay, do not give them you business
OOP! We forgot to say that and We don't do redos or refunds – I thought I would try the sprayless tan today- Wish I would have did a little more research. I asked a local tanning salon if they knew a salon that did a sprayless tan and they told me to try Unique Tan and I did. The salon appeared clean and well taken cared of, So I ordered a spray tan. I made it very clear that This is my first spray tan. Nichole explained How Wonderful their tan machine was, I was walked to the spay room and was handed a small amount of blending lotion to put of my hands, feet, knees and lips. Instructed to motion in front on the machine to start it, and to turn when the machine pause (I might not be able to hear the machine talk while the doors closed) and to just pat dry. After a quick visit to the lady's room, I undressed and hop In. As the machine speaks to motion to start. I begin waving at any and everthing that could be a senser, after a couple mins the machine starts and I'm coated in cold tanning solution. It then dawns of me it's not misting me, but coating me and How should I be standing? arms out? at my sides? As I turn my final turn I see number foot prints on the floor a good two feet back from where I'm standing. I pat Dry, Dress and find Nichole. After I explain what happened I ask WHAT HAPPENS NOW? I get a sorry and told I can buy a repair lotion (for $5) to remove the spray tan and told I might be ok. I'm then told There are no redos or refunds. Well It does not look OK! Maybe I should have asked more Questions, Maybe Nichole should have explained a few things a little better.... I Will not be returning. I will buy My repair lotion at another Salon.

This 2009 Beaujolais is the product of ideal growing conditions. The year was very warm, with just a bit of rain in June and a mostly sunny July and August. Harvest began in late August and continued for several weeks. The near perfect weather led to extremely healthy vines. The resulting wines from Beaujolais are some of the best the region has ever produced.
Christophe Vial is the winemaker here. He began his winemaking career in 1991 working at Burgundy's legendary Domaine des Comtes Lafon. After ten years, he left to become the winemaker at Domaine de Montille. In 2007, Vial brought his skills and experience to Evening Land. His deep roots in Burgundy have allowed him to identify unique and distinctive parcels from which he sources fruit for his Evening Land wines. Vial has overseen all renovations and operations at the newly acquired Ch?teau de Bligny.
Greg Ralston is President & CEO and comes with over 20 years of leadership experience working with great wine brands such as Chateau Montelena, Domaine Leflaive and Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. Appointed in January 2012, Greg was brought on board to transition the company from startup phase into the next chapter of growth and stability.
The fruit that comprises this wine is sourced from the areas of Quinci? and Beaujeu. After a manual harvest, the grapes are whole-cluster pressed and then fermented through semi carbonic maceration. After aging for 10 months, the wine is bottled.
Whole cluster fermentation is unique to Beaujolais. The grapes are harvested and placed in a stainless tank. When the tank is full, the top is sealed shut. The grapes on the bottom are very gently crushed by the grapes on top. As the resulting carbon dioxide rises due to the fermentation, they slowly crack the skins of the grapes. As a result, most of the fermentation takes place more gently than any machine ever does.
What this does is accentuate the fruit as much as possible, thus making an incredibly delicious wine right out of the gate. This wine has great components of jam and grape with pure strawberry flavors oozing out of the glass. This is a must have with chicken in a tarragon sauce.

Free Planet is NEVER MENTIONED, ANYWHERE, BY ANYONE ... isn't this queer, in the sense of odd?
Then I got to wondering, as a last resort, is it you, "Are YOU THE PEOPLE not just loathe to entertain or reluctant to consider this shit but are you actually (or acutely) AFRAID to promote the idea of a Free Planet," namely:
1) that PROFIT is the real criminal driver on this planet,
2) that RESOURCES are limited by default and acquired by the Corporate War Machine through private incursion into sovereign territory,
3) that FREEDOM comes at the behest of comfort for the few at the price of misery for the masses.
You The People, slaves of the CGG or Corporate Global Gulag, KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU if you detract from the Understood Behaviour Patterns of good little sado-masochists for profit-generation.
It's like you're all cowering little piggies retreating to your respective 'properties' of varying quality or value in the hopes that the BIG BAD WOLF of this Free Planet awakening will not come huffing and puffing on the doors of your comfortable abodes and wake you up to the real reason you're all probably here on Planet Earth.
Suffice to say, that with the Free Planet novel being fundamentally anti-corporate and anti-propaganda and anti-slavery and anti-share-cropping in the context of YOU THE PEOPLE's access to the truth of HOW THIS WORLD WORKS, National Security, NTK or Need To Know, Corporate Espionage around the world, and your 'slave rights', I've done my bit.
Maybe the time has come for me to step back from the bulhorn and allow YOU THE PEOPLE to investigation into THE REAL FEAR you're feeling, as a race; the threat from the hierarchic Empire, the mind control you're suffering from, the absolute abusive horror that you're experiencing looking at anything that's (currently) outside your social remit.
This will probably be my last Free Planet-specific 'reminder' on this blog.

Animals use echolocation to locate prey and navigate by emitting sounds, then listening for the echoes of those calls. Subtle differences in the echoes, caused by sound waves bouncing off of objects, allow animals to construct an image of the world around them. Bats and dolphins aren't that closely related, but both developed the very specialized trait of echolocation independently; it's a classic example of what scientists call "convergent evolution" (another example would be the physical similarities between bat wings and bird wings: analogous shapes, arrived at independently).
Researchers led by a team from Queen Mary University of London wondered if some of the genetic steps that bats and dolphins took on their separate evolutionary paths might have been similar. They compared at the complete genetic sequences of 22 different kinds of mammals, including both echolocating and nonecholocating bats, bottlenose dolphins, horses, dogs, mice and humans.
"Strong and significant support for convergence among bats and the bottlenose dolphin was seen in numerous genes linked to hearing or deafness, consistent with an involvement in echolocation," the authors wrote in Nature. "Unexpectedly, we also found convergence in many genes linked to vision: the convergent signal of many sensory genes was robustly correlated with the strength of natural selection."

School kids on a field trip.
India, Quta Minar, Indo-Islamic architecture and world's tallest minaret in Old Delhi.
Qutub Minar. The Qutub Tower; also known as Qutb Minar and Qutab Minar, is the tallest minaret in India, originally an ancient Hindu monument, and is a UNESCOWorld Heritage Site. Located in Delhi, the Qutub Minar is made of red sandstone and marble. The tower has 379 stairs, is 237.8 ft high, and has a base diameter of 14.3 metres, which narrows to 2.7 metres at the last storey. Construction was started in 1192 by Qutub-ud-din Aibak and was completed by Iltutmish. It is surrounded by several other ancient and medieval structures and ruins, collectively known as the Qutub complex. Tradition assigns the erection of the pillar to Anang Pal, whose name it bears, with the date 1052 C.E.
Sue, who has been many places rated our India trip, on a scale of 1 to 10 an 11.5! It was fun.

Hello all, I am new to the site but thought it might be nice for me to talk to someone who is neutral and doesnt know myself of my husband. We have been together just shy of 10 years, and married for 6 of them. 2 years ago we were approached by a pregnant family friend about possibly adopting the baby, we talked about it and discussed that if it was what she really wanted for her child we would love to. 3 months later our amazing Daughter was born, (6 weeks early but healthy) Unfortunately since she was so early I was out of state for a medical appointment and was not able to be at the birth, My husband was there and immediately bonded with his little girl. He loves his little girl, she is definitely a Daddys girl, he dotes over her and is always quick to show her off to all his coworkers/friends etc. This past January surprise I got pregnant. I was really stressed at first, how would I manage a 2 yr old and baby, etc but through the whole pregnancy he was VERY supportive, always telling me it would be ok, stepped up his help around the house even more than he already did, cooked, cleaned more, did all the laundry for the last 4 months, was absolutely amazing. Everytime we had downtime we were super snuggly and affectionate, he loved to feel the baby kick all the time, things seemed great. I was Induced at 37 weeks because all of a sudden I was having high blood pressure. Baby and birth went great, everything was healthy, etc. We came home from the hospital and my husband all of a sudden started to pull away from me, I assumed at first it was because I had lots of "hormone dumps" where I would be holding my baby and start crying a little because all my concerns were no longer, I knew I had enough love and I could definitely handle being a parent to two kids, etc. He never really tried to soothe me, just acted like he didnt see it because I think he felt uncomfortable. I didnt really know what to do/say so we just both turned into awkward silence. I kept asking him if everything was ok did I make him mad, whats wrong, and the more I asked the more the pulled away, until just last week I was trying to talk to him, telling him I just needed to know what was going on in his head, etc and he said he needed time to think about things, packed a bag and left. He has come for visits daily to see the kids, but says he isnt ready to talk yet. We have alot of tension between us and I am beginning to resent him because I am left with total responsibility. I am just really confused, our whole marriage he has always been really great, he even took a month off when our daughter was born and did night feedings, etc. He is AMAZING, so I am not sure what is going on. Everyone keeps telling me its normal for men to kinda freak out after the birth of their kid. I have asked him if he doenst love our son or anything like that and he laughs and says absolutely not that is my boy ;) so I dont think its that, I dont know what it is :( Is this normal to an extent after having a baby? I know we didnt have anything like this after our daughter but could it be because we physically didnt go through the pregnancy/birth being that she was adopted? I just feel very confused, tired, and beginning to get upset and callous about the whole situation :(
Hi. I just read your post. It sounds like whats going on in my world. My husband and I welcomed our first son on Nov. 1st. He was 6 weeks early by c-section to to a polycystic kidney. The drs said they would have to remove his kidney once he was able to breath on his own. He is now off all assisted breathing and the doctors say the other kidney works great and the cyst have not grown since his birth. The surgery is going to wait til hes stronger . My husband was my rock through my pregnancy and even more so when Adam was born. He refused to leave my side after I hit 30 weeks pregnate. After I was relaeased from the hospital, he started acting different. He still tells me he loves me and kisses me everyday, but hes so snippy. It seems like he snaps at me over everything I ask. I know our sons birth has been stressful on us both of us. Just hang in there. Im hoping he will get back to himself soon. I keep telling myself its his form of post partum. I hope everything works out for you...
Hi Ladies -
I'd like to echo what Jess_BabyRN said - there seems to be a certain percentage of husbands/boyfriends that pull away after a baby is born for whatever reason. It is incredibly stressful and upsetting for you, I'm sure! I encourage you, also, to get a therapist or pastor involved and tell your husband that you value your marriage highly and you want to make sure his concerns and needs are being addressed and heard. One of the best things you can do for your kids is to have a great relationship with their father, so see if you can't make some time to discuss things and work it out. My prayers are with you and I hope you keep us up to date so we can support you!
Thanks guys, we had about an hour talk this weekend without any kids around, and seem to be making progress. I am going to be seeing a therapist today, and then we will hopefully start going together in the near future. I dont know if it was all the added responsibility or what, he has said that I never let him feel like the man in the relationship because I just take care of everything and then often times use it against him that I did it...He is right :( I dont know why I do that but I just seem to be a take charge kinda woman, but once I "fix" the problem or take care of whatever it is I then always am sure to try to get my "praise" by saying look what I did, see I had to handle it, but then he just shuts down about it and we both feel like crap. I never really knew this was what I was doing until he brought it up, and now I see what I need to work on. I am fully committed to doing what needs to be done to get our marriage back on track, 10 years and 2 kids is too much to throw away because we are both a little stressed and not communicating well :) Thank you everyone for your posts and I will continue to update as theres new information!
I am glad to see that you and your husband are committed to working through this. Having children can be very stressful on a marriage and it is something most women don't really talk about enough. Just keep the lines of communication open and encourage him to express himself and really listen. It sounds like you are headed in the right direction. Don't give up and good luck! Let us know how things go...I will be praying for you and your family!
As a husband and father of three young girls, sometimes marriage can seemingly take a back seat to all the responsibility of being a parent and a bread winner. Both my wife and I work, and lost in the day to day craziness is that by the end of the day, we sometimes don't get to spend ANY time alone with each other. When this happens, there is a tendency to bottle up your thoughts and feelings and handle stress alone and not with your partner. We have to make it a point to continue to carve out our lives as husband and wife from that of being a mom and dad. This sounds like what you are going through, and having a professional help you work through it is a great idea. Good luck!
Hey all,
My fiance was the same way when our daughter was first born, he never wanted to spend time with us, or be involved in anything we did. Finally I got tired of it, and made him talk to me. He told me that he didn't realize how much things would change, and he was scared of making mistakes. Now she is his everything, daddy's little girl of course. Just don't give up girls they will come around. Best wishes for all of you.
You know how they say after we have baby we go in to the depreation. Well some times it could be husbans.
Don't worry hi need some time to take it all in. sometimes when you have your own baby things effects you diffrently. try to go on the date with him. Take some time off from the baby. lett him know that things can stay the same even with the baby here.
Thank you so very much everyone, we are still working on things. I think we got into a very normal routine of being somewhat "ships in the night" we were both busy with jobs, our first daughter, responsibilities around the house, and altho It seemed that we spent quality time together I not look back and realize it wasnt necessarily "quality" time, it was more us watching a movie or laying in bed reading at night etc. We need to find us again, do things that interest both of us and have that fun together that we used to have years ago :) We are still going to Therapy, and altho I want it to be a quick fix I realize it is not going to just fix overnight. Its going to take alot of work. It seems every day is a little more progress, I think both of us are a little leary because it feels like we could so easily just have things go right back to the way they were, but then would we slip back into the same routine of just being parents and not necessarily continue to work on our communication.
I keep saying my prayers and being happy of the progress we are making even if its just a little bit more each day. I honestly think that our fight was nothing more than being stressed, tired, me super emotional (which he doesnt seem to understand since our first daughter was adopted, neither of us were ready for all the hormones and emotions I would feel after the baby) I was pretty clingy and kept asking over and over what was wrong which in turn made him pull away farther. Then upon having the fight, and both of us having time to think we both have realized that we let ourselves become swept up in life but not be together in life necessarily. I know marriage is alot of work, we havent really "worked" at it up until now. Alot of people actually commented to me through the years that it seemed like we were just so natural for eachother, we didnt have to work and struggle like so many young couples, I think it was because he held alot of his frustrations in as to not "rock the boat" and I always thought I was helping him by taking care of all the bills/problems/etc, which in turn made him actually feel that I didnt trust him, or that he wasnt "the man" in the relationship, so we need to somewhat go back to the beginning, need to find those things and hobbies we used to do together, need to schedule regular date nights and nights out with friends etc. I have faith that we will get there, its just a slow road.....But then again our relationship wasnt built in a day either, took almost 2 years of being friends before we started dating, then a year before we were engaged and 2 years before we were married...We can do this!!!! :)
Thanks everyone for all your input it really has helped me to hear that im not completely alone in this

dkinville - so glad to hear you are hanging in there and working on things. You are so right - nothing happens overnight and it takes lots of time to build new habits and trust! I wanted to just commend you for working hard on your relationship and not just throwing your hands in the air. It takes a really mature person to do that. Good luck!

text: DIPLOMACY IS BACK! (Approved by Lightwolf) (most of the OP is swiped from other Diplomacy games, but that doesn't mean it isn't important, useful, or cool) THIS IS A FLEET ROME VARIANT. YOU HAVE BEEN INFORMED. Starting Map (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Starting Map (open) Starting Map (close) Important links: Rulebook Wikipedia article 5-minute guide Strategy + Tactics guide Base Map Realpolitik I will use this for maps, etc. For past games, simply go to the game listing and click ctrl+f and type in "Diplomacy". The only game you won't find is the abandoned World Diplomacy variant. Credit to Outlaw (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Credit to Outlaw (open) Credit to Outlaw (close) About The Game: Diplomacy is game about making alliances, breaking alliances, and reforming old alliances to better your number of supply centers in the game. Playing the deaf mute will only get you so far before another country decides you are not worth the spaces you comprise of and crushes you for your land. You have to negotiate with other nations if you want to win. You must tell the whole truth and nothing but it while lying through your teeth to succeed in this game. Feelings will be hurt and grudges will be formed. Friends can be enemies, and enemies can be friends. Make your stab and pray it doesn't backfire. A player is eliminated from the game when they no longer control any supply centers. Alternatively, a player can choose to forfeit (But that is lame and sissy and I will make sure you are made fun of for it!). This will leave his/her pieces on the board where they will hold or idle during every turn. Victory is achieved by a single player controlling 18 of the 34 supply centers OR if all of the remaining players agree to a tie. Diplomacy has 3 phases. Since this is online, you can talk to other nations any time you wish. The game begins in Spring of the year 1901 where you issue your first orders. After that turn is Fall 1901 and you issue your second round of orders. And finally the year ends in Winter 1901 where you either add or subtract to your total number of supply centers and in turn your army depending on how many you captured or lossed in Fall. Then the year begins anew with Spring 1902. Even though this is a game of Diplomacy, you are never required to honor any promises you made to any nation. You are always out for yourself. Overview for those too lazy to read the other stuff: All units have the same strength No two units may occupy the same space at the same time An Army can be ordered to move into an adjacent inland or coastal province A Fleet can be ordered to move to an adjacent water province or coastal province Winter is a very short phase where players may only build or disband You can only build in your Home Supply Centers You cannot pass through Switzerland. IMPORTANT NOTES: Everyone will have 72 hours to get their Spring/Fall orders in, and 48 to get their Build/Retreat orders in. Taking more than 24 hours to get Build/Retreat/Disband orders in, however, is frowned upon and will result in being called out for making the game take longer. Your host reserves the right to take up to 36 hours after deadline to process orders because his classes, unfortunately, take priority over this. Hopefully, all orders will be processed within 24 hours, if not quickly. Deadlines will be enforced mostly, but if you get your orders in after the deadline and before the update, I can be talked into accepting them, especially if I haven't processed much of them yet. You WILL be called out, though. I'm using Realpolitik for adjudicating orders. Surrendering is frowned upon. Slacking off will result in being called out, and maybe missing a turn because of deadlines. Don't do it.
