My D was final on 12/31. I am doing so well! I've started the second year of my doctoral program, have begun my clinical training, and am busy busy busy. Kids are doing well. Ex has stopped being hostile and spent Xmas morning here to see the kids open presents (though he arrived 40 min late and then would. not. leave) and that was fine. I was very sad the day the D finalized, just saying goodbye to my hopes and dreams one final time. But I woke up in the new year free and happy!
I've done some dating, found myself marketable at almost 40 and with 3 kids -- who knew. But really my life is busy enough being mostly full time mom and student and in training. I'm spending a lot of time with girlfriends, which is fun.
I just wanted to check in and say hi, and say that there is life after D if that's where you are going -- a good life. I have no regrets even though it was "just" a ONS -- you guys know how much its not "just" anything. Three and a half years later I am healed and moved on and feeling good about me and where my life is going.
Good to "see" you guys!
I think some dreams have a shorter life span than we want so it's definitely something to mourn and grieve.
Congrats on beginning year 2 and girl, you are not just marketable.. You are AWESOME! Enjoy whatever makes YOU happy and it sounds like you are in a good place and are heading in the right direction.
forgiven and in R :)
"To err is human.
To forgive,
This particular thread seems to go up and down with activity so if you feel you're not getting what you need from here, feel free to PM any of us!!
Phoenixrivers, you're so right! Alcohol is never an excuse. I think maybe she needs to look into why she drinks so much? IC would be ideal but MC would be really great for y'all too. Of course you can't control what she does but you can tell her your bottom line and if it's that she stop going to those places, then you have to put your foot down and follow through with whatever consequence you feel is necessary.
Wanttomoveon, ultimately it's up to you to figure out what qualifies as "enough" information. For many, the unknown is just miserable because we make up our own mind movies. But as Nothingspecial said, you can't unknow what you learn. It's a delicate balance of figuring out what is enough information and what isn't. I didn't need to know all the details. I just needed to know the truth about what happened. Once I got the truth, I stopped searching and trying to unearth answers and began working on healing. That's what I needed but it varies by individual.
Nothingspecial, I just want to say I think you are something special. Your user name makes me a little sad Your dday is very recent and your gut is telling you there is something more. Listen to it. It's what tells you that you have enough information to satisfy yourself and understand what the heck happened. I think in your gut you know the story isn't as it was told. Yes there are definitely women who prey on men but ultimately there was consent (I'd assume) on his end as well. That's the ticket issue here that I think your gut is screaming at you to address.
That, I think, is the big question. If you attempt to contact her, it's like reinviting her into your lives with unforeseen consequences.
Maybe she does walk around with a silly notion that she is carrying this big, powerful secret when she isn't because you do know what happened. Maybe you want to tell her because it shows you aren't out of the loop or you aren't someone to be made a fool of anymore.
Whatever the reason, I think you need to figure out if you can live with not including her and only including you and H. That's just my opinion though.
I wish this thread isn't more active for yours and others' sakes but I hope you get the support you need otherwise in other threads.
As my signature says, I found out about a monthlong purely sexual fling my husband had with another woman, and then the rest of the truth came out -- one night stands and 'close calls' over the past year.
During this whole period I have felt horribly neglected and rejected (sexually -- he had sex with other women about 12-15x in 2012 based on my informed estimate and I think we had actual sex maybe 5x) which is really where my pain comes from -- the rejection, the knowing that he said yes to them (more actually -- he chased them!) but rejected me over...and over...and over. And, ya know, it hurts that he looked me in the eye and lied to me. It hurts that I encouraged him to "go have fun with the guys! I completely trust you!!" and I helped him get ready to go out and I made his protein drinks and put his snack bag together. I told him if his outfit looked okay, if he used too much cologne, how his hair looked. How do you ask your wife to do all that and then screw another woman while she's waiting patiently for you at home???
Obviously this is a fresh wound. I guess I just wanted to post here and say... I'm in this club!
We're so sorry you find yourself in this place but we're glad you have a safe place to get help. This thread isn't very active anymore as most of us seem to have either ended up in D/NB or R.
First and foremost, are y'all in IC? MC? Those are ideal really to work through your own issues, trust issues and work on communication in a safe place with your S.
PLT -- My husband & I are moving from FL to MA June 3rd (well, leaving the 1st or May 31st, arriving June 3) so I did make the decision to hold off on counseling until we get to MA... didn't seem too productive to start going here, start paying down our deductible for insurance, and then start all over in MA (we will have to switch health insurance providers). I have already read several books -- "After the Affair," "Intimacy After Infidelity," "Seven Conversations," "Five Love Languages," etc etc etc several times through and my WH is now going through them with me
I'm not sure what kind of a complex this is precisely (NPD, SA, Madonna-whore complex), but he does not actually enjoy the act of sexual intercourse. (I believe this completely.) He enjoys "the moment right before a girl capitulates" because "it's a huge ego stroke."
[This message edited by mysticpenguin at 1:16 PM, April 19th (Friday)]
This is a horrible shock and a horrible betrayal. I have such a huge amount of sympathy for what you're going through right now. Nobody deserves that.
After my H confessed his ONS (actually, before and after), he had a plethora of physical problems. Nothing as dramatic as what happened to your H, but he was on a bunch of medication, had several procedures done including a colonoscopy, and was severely stressed out. To the point that I put my own healing on hold to help him.
The problem with that, and the problem with the kind of shame that your H is feeling, is that it cannot go on forever. Eventually people get tired of beating themselves up and calling themselves an asshole, and they want to move forward. But they haven't made the positive changes that they need to make in order to become safe, healthy partners. They still have shit boundaries and/or shit coping skills. So they stuff these bad feelings down in a box and then look for ways to make themselves feel better. And at that point they sure as hell don't want to hear your pain, because they are done with beating themselves up.
That's how I ended up with D-Day 2 and almost divorced.
I understand that your H feels terrible about what he did, but wallowing in shame and self-loathing is not going to help either one of you. He needs to translate his negative feelings into positive action to change whatever was wrong inside him that let him do this. I understand he was high. My H was drunk out of his mind when he committed his ONS. So why did he let himself get so out of control? He needs to take a HARD look at himself. He needs to get into individual counseling.
I would suggest you also get into individual counseling. Focus on yourself, work on YOU. It sounds like you worked so very hard to try to keep your husband happy. You have to understand that what he did has NOTHING to do with you and everything to do with him. I know you say you want to focus on him getting better, but you cannot do that for him. You really have GOT to focus on you. Don't put your pain on the back burner. He has to fix himself. You cannot do that for him, hard as it is to accept.
I personally think IC for both parties is more important than MC - at least for us that is what helped.
I'm so sorry you're going through this. NOBODY deserves this shit.
DDay was January 24th, in therapy. I had NO idea what was coming. WH gave oral to a ONS at a conference (which NEVER happened at our house, btw)and she gave him a hand job. I got suspicious when he was acting weird months after the fact. She had texted him in Nov. and he got really noodgy and weird so I started snooping.
WH is super remorseful, however, 8 months into this I just don't know if this is a deal breaker for me and I am leaning toward it being. Sucks. We're both in therapy separately. I feel the best I ever have in my entire life (Lexapro, tyvm) except for this shit. We're both starting businesses and luckily, I distract myself a lot more now than I could before but the movies and jealousy and betrayal are still in heavy doses.
Anyone else wanna talk? Tell me it'll get better? Worse?
Thanks for reading and I'll listen to ANYTHING you have to say on the subject. :)
Im glad I dug further to find thread that matches and relates to my situation more. My husband had a ons a few weeks ago and I found out right away.
I have been beginning to feel like I didn't have the "right" to feel the way I do because my story doesn't seem nearly as bad as all the rest of the stories in the other forums.
Maybe because it was a ons and not an ongoing deal I find it easier for me to work through. We are only a few weeks out, but husband and I are in a good place with a long road ahead.
I will say to you it goes get better. The roller coaster ride has slowed, the triggers are less and are mAnaged. I will say this also....we are closer than ever ..... Really . The issue was not just the job... The issues were also within our relationship . Again, not justifying anything ... Just saying that sometimes this can be a real wake up call. Just an example of how our relationship was.... Sex really became a choir. After working 45 hours a week, dealing with 2 children, choirs, bills... Just stuff. I was barely ever in the mood... I actually on occasion told him to get a girlfriend. Did I mean it? No.... But I look back at this... What I said to my husband... I feel sick that I could treat someone like that. We had the long talk about what we both really need in this relationship. I need help with daily choirs and to feel appreciated and he needed to feel loved and wAnted and he didnt want sex to be just a duty. Not too much to ask. The person he was with meant nothing to him. She just happened to be there and she is basically known as the company bar fly...she is always up for a drink and likes to talk up the men and mAke them feel better....stroke the ego I guess. I hAve learned to stop hating her so much because she could hAve been anyone. I do look at the other posts and feel like my situation was not that bad, but I still would hAve preferred it never happened. But, if it never hAppened would we have been another statistic in a couple years? I guess this is the way we look at it.... We can not chAnge what happened, we need to decide what we want, and we need to move forward together. Some days are easier thAn others... But I hAve found out that it is not good to bottle your emotions or thoughts... Let them out.... Let him know how bad the hurt was/is. Our understanding is that there is no drinking at conferences at all. Even though he really never drank before.... All it took was one time for a stupid decision to change our lives forever... Because that is the sad part...we will move on from here but it will always be there... How can you really ever forget. Forgiveness...not there yet.... Hopefully soon.
Reading your snippet was basically reading my own story.
My husband has to travel a lot..... Military so there is no option to just have him stay home and watch. We are basically forced into trying to trust.
My husbands ons didn't mean anything either. He's away for school, got to drunk and liked the attention that someone was paying him. Granted he told stories about his life that were basically true, but didn't include me or my 2 girls, but he was enamoured with the attention she was giving him.
He felt guilty immediately, as in he says he thought of me and what he was doing, combine that with uhm shall we say over indulgence in alcohol, it didn't last long and he couldn't perform persay.
He remembers almost everything, there are a few details he doesn't recall. I do know that within the hour of coming back to his hotel room she was gone.
I actually found out a couple days after it happened from her. She wa deceived as well with his tall tales which made her check into his phone number which is in my name. He gave her a different first name, but same last name. Which brought her to me. I'm almost 100% certain I got the full disclosure within the next 24 hours.
I too had to take a step back and look at our marriage. For the last 3 weeks he's been completely and utterly remorseful. I bring up my part in all this and he gets flustered with me because he accepts full responsibility. I am in no way blaming myself, but I wouldn't be honest with me or him if I didn't realize that even I had some part in his need for attention.
We are in a very good and happy place right now, we have done a lot of soul searching both together and separately (still in training and away) and I don't know how to feel about tht. On one hand I thought it would take forever and a day to be able to forgive and work on trust, but it's coming so quickly and naturally. Kinda scary!
He is completely understanding in my down moments, and wants to help me anyway he can. He knows that what he's done almost cost him everything.
I asked him if he would have ever told me. He said he didn't inted too, but he didn't know how he could look me in e eyes and lie when he came home. I honestly think its best that i found out the way I did, because it gave me time (about a week) to process my feelings and our first face to face wouldn't be detrimental. I would probably feel a lot differently if I did find out from him face to face.
In the past 3 weeks we have done something we really haven't done in gosh I don't know a year, 2, maybe 10? But we talked. About anything and everything. We have been talking and reconnecting pretty much non stop. We both forgot what it was like to be real married people. Not just two people married who live in the same house. We are finding out all over again what it is truly like to be in love and not just loved.
We have vowed to continue to be open and honest about everything. He will answer my questions for as long as it takes, and I am very optimistic that this too will someday be a small, but significant bump down our road of life.
One last item and I promise I will stop talking....even though this site is wonderful and it has helped me greatly....
don't stop talking!! i think all of us need to hear MORE of the crap that you dealt with and that you actually overcame it! i think i speak for all of us when i say that the positive stories are few and far between and for me, at least, that's why i come here. to see that someone in my situation got through it and how they did.
So please, anything you want to share or think is helpful, please post.
i've only posted twice here so far (i've lurked and consumed everything everyone else was talking about for 9 months) but i've promised myself that once i get through this positively, i will post how i did it.

Groves envisions future censuses to be cheaper, more mobile
Wednesday - 8/8/2012, 11:57am EDT
Groves spoke with The Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp days before stepping down as director after three years on the job. He will become provost at Georgetown University.
Among the recent successes the agency has seen is a 2010 Census that came in on time and under budget by nearly $2 billion. Groves has kickstarted an 18-month reorganization expected to save another $15 million annually. The agency is also testing technological upgrades for the 2020 Census.
"A key decision was to integrate any of the developments we're launching for 2020 into our ongoing surveys and censuses. So, the benefit of that is when 2020 comes, we would run it on a family of systems that would've been tried and true at that point," Groves said.
The technological changes also reflect an acknowledgement that the devices Americans use are becoming more "mobile, small, varied," Groves said. And this will especially be true in 2020.
Census has a Center for Applied Technology to test software on various mobile devices. On one wall of the center is nearly every mobile device now on the market, Groves said.
"This is an example of something we've tried to work on really diligently, and that is try to knock the barriers across the different administrative silos and work together as team," Groves said. "To the extent we can pull that off, we're going to have a cheaper 2020 Census and I think one that's on the cutting edge and very high quality."
The greatest promise for data now is the ability to combine data from multiple sources, but one of the biggest "legislative impediments" to the agency is the inability to access some administrative databases where Americans have already answered questions, he said.
"Most countries of the world have worked out statistical uses of those records," Groves said.

Comments about Mens Mizuno Wave Evo Ferus Trail Running Shoe:
Ordered this shoe from local running store after seeing it here. After I got 'em, I immediately took to the trails. As usual, Mizuno performs! For me, the arch and lift- off is right where I need it as I forefoot striker. It is like a slipper, but don't let it fool ya. It is a workout workhorse. It seemed to handle anything I threw at it, but I think I would leave the mud to something with cleats.

Comments about Mens Mizuno Wave Evo Ferus Trail Running Shoe:
I made the transition to barefoot & minimalist shoes about 2 1/2 years ago. I had ankle surgery last Oct 31 to (hopefully) repair an 8 yr old injury and was cleared to start a prescribed running rehab at the end of March. I've been reluctant to head back to my Merrell Trail Gloves, wanting a little cushion. So, I've been running in a pair of Brooks PureGrits to get that cushion, but I don't find them comfortable and the traction is about as bad as you can imagine. After a very rainy spring, I reluctantly put on the Trail Gloves to get better traction - wow, love those shoes, but still I wanted a little cushion. Enter the Evo Ferus - awesome! As comfortable as the trail gloves, actually much better traction, toe guards work, and that little bit of cushion I was looking for. Just about perfect. I've only got one comment & one sorta complaint - comment: as expected, the natural feel of the trail gloves isn't there; complaint: they let in a bit too much sand. I'll live with it. I'll still bust out the trail gloves when I'm feeling stronger, but these are great. So much better than what I consider the junk of the Pure Grit and I'm seriously considering the Evo Levitas as my next non-trail shoe to replace the Brooks PureConnects (LOVE them even though they led me to the junky Grits). Long time Mizuno runner that got away from the brand after the Mavericks went away and the shoes seemed to get stiffer & stiffer. I'm happily coming back.

This guy was a bawse! HAIL !!!
Chris Cooley retiring to join Redskins' radio team, per report
Chris Cooley once was the do-it-all threat teams are now scrambling to find at the tight end position. The 31-year-old, who spent his entire nine-year career with Washington, reportedly will announce his retirement Tuesday and join the Redskins' radio broadcast team.
During a stretch from 2005-08, Cooley proved himself to be one of the more versatile players in football. He averaged just under 70 catches during that span, with Pro Bowl appearances in 2008 and '09.
Recurring knee problems starting in 2009 sapped Cooley's career of any remaining momentum. He played the full 2010 season with the Redskins, catching 77 passes for 849 yards (matching his career-high). He missed nine games, however, in that 2009 season and another 11 two years later. The Redskins brought him back last year after Fred Davis suffered a knee injury of his own, but Cooley managed only one reception.
The transition to a broadcaster's role should be a natural one for Cooley, long a fan favorite in Washington. It's not hard to see why, either. Last year, for example, as part of his negotiations to return to the Redskins, Cooley told the Washington Post that he asked for a supply of beer to be included in his contract.
"Literally, I have text correspondence trying to negotiate a case of beer into my contract," he told Sarah Kogod. "They wouldn't do it. I wanted it in writing so much."
It would not come as much of a surprise, then, if Cooley eventually landed on air with one of the NFL's major TV entities, be it FOX, CBS, the NFL Network or ESPN.
Cooley said back in April that he did not want to play for any organization other than the Redskins. Finding another franchise to give him a shot might have been difficult, given his knee ailments, but his background playing some H-back for the Redskins might have put him on a few radars come training camp.
Instead, he'll call it a career and hit the airwaves.
cooley was thoroughly overrated. good riddance.
Class act!
@LeilaniHernandez You related to Aaron? The two of you look alike.

The town of Ouray (pronounced you-ray) is nestled in a narrow, steep-walled canyon in the shadow of the San Juan Mountains. It was named for the great Southern Ute chief Ouray, labeled a visionary by the U.S. Army and branded a traitor by his people because he attempted to assimilate the Utes into white society. The former mining town is filled with lavish old hotels, commercial buildings, and residences. More than 25 classic edifices are included in the walking-tour brochure issued by the Ouray County Historical Society. Among the points of interest are the grandiose Wright's Opera House and the Western Hotel. The town's ultimate glory lies in its surroundings, and it has become an increasingly popular destination for climbers (both the mountain and ice varieties), mountain-bike fanatics, and hikers.

Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library Digital Collections
s 1890 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-SENATE February 19, 1974
Mr. JACKSON·. I yield myself such
time as I may require.
Mr. P~esident, the administration's
failure to impose ceilings on crude oil
prices is incomprehensible for a wide
variety of reasons.
First, it is costing consumers $20 million
a day, $7.7 billion-a year, in overcharges.
Second, it is bad economic policy. Uncontrolled
oil prices at artificially high,
cartel-set levels feed inflation.
Third, the administration's decision to
deregulate one-third of all domestic
crude oil is illegal. Section 4 of the
Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act requires
that all crude oil be under price
Today the Senate will h'lve a chance
to reverse this policy that overcharges
consumers, that benefits only the oil industry,
and which violates a law Congress
adopted only 4 months ago.
Mr. President, ii firm and decisive action
is not taken to roll prices back to
reasonable levels, this unconscionable
overcharge will cost American consumers
$7.7 billion over the next year. This
is $35 for every man, woman, and child
in the country. For the average family,
this will mean an additional $140 to
$200 a year increase in their fuel bill for
gasoline, heating oil, and propane. This
increase is over and above, and in addition
to, the major increases in fuel prices
which were experienced late last year.
CUrrent domestic price levels for unregulated
crude oil of $10 per barrel
and up are totally artificial prices. These
prices are not determined by the forces
of competition. These prices are rigged.
They are being dictated by an international
cartel of Arab nations. These are
the same nations that imposed the oil
embargo against the United States in
retaliation for our aid to Israel.
Respected oil analysts on Wall Street
and elsewhere say that these price levels
will not buy increased supply . . The real
constraint on supply today is not price.
At $5.25 a barrel, there is plenty of incentive
to bring in new supply. This is
32 percent higher than the price of crude
oil last May, less than a. year ago. The
constraints today are 'Shortages: shortages
of trained manpower, tubular goods,
drilling rigs, and practically every other
material a. high technology industry
The unregulated and artificially high
price of domestic crude oil is counterproductive.
It is retarding exPloration for
and development of new oil discoveries.
Instead of encouraging the development
of new wildcat acreage, the present price
structure does the opposite. It encourages
the drilling of new wells on old reservoirs
that are already in production.
These new wells divert scarce drilling
rigs, pipe, other equipment, and manpower
away from new exploration for
the sole purpose of taking advantage of
major loopholes in the price system.
These loopholes enable the unscrupulous
to take advantage, to double the value of
their ""ld" oil-thE'ir presently producing
fields-by simply drilling and l'umPin~
the oil through new wells.
Pw;suit of this loophole enriches owners
of producing fields. It does not produce
more oil. There iS no requirement
uiJ.der the administration's program that
1 cent of this windfall be put back into
the ground to develop new supplies. And
the facts are that precious little is being
put back into tpe ground.
Second, as noted above, these artificial
cartel price levels serve no economic
purpose. They are, in fact, counterproductive.
They reduce longer tenn supply.
They compel cynical and foolish dis
tortious in the allocation f1l capital, material,
and labor.
Third, the Congress a.t some point will
act to protect the public by rolling these.
prices back by legislative action.
Mr. Simon, the FEO Administrator
recognizes that present price levels are
unreasonable. Reports in the national
press and in trade journals contend that
within the administration he bas advocated
a price rollback but has been
turned down by Roy Ash, Herbert Stein.
and the White House palace guard.
The trade associations for the oil companies'
own studies and data recognize
that current dereiliJ.I}ated prices are $3 to
$5 per barrel above long-term price levels
required to achieve domestic self-suffi.ciency
and to bring in alternate sources
of energy such as oil shale, coal liquefaction
and gasification, and geothermal
The Federal Government's studies also
conclude that there is no justification
for average oil prices of $10 per barrel.
The FEO says:
The long-term supply price . .. Is $7 per
barrel. .. . (Ja.nuary 1974.)
The Department of the Trea«ury says:
Our best estimate is that It would "e ln the
neighborhood of $7 per barrel within .noaY D:r.BCL08U81l or OIL INDUB'l'Kll" DATA
The bill requires, for the first time, the
mandatory dil!closure by the oil Industry
of reliable data. and Information on
reserves, production levels, refinery runs,
stock levels, imports, prices, and other
Information essential to understanding
and dealing with the energy shortage.
Information furnished under the bill is
to be made available to the Administrator,
the Congress, the States, and the
public. This new authority will bring to
an end the comedy of errors !IJld the confusion
of the present .Yoluntary reporting
systems. Present systems find the oil industry
and the Federal Government hundreds
of_ thousands, and sometimes miilions
of barrels, apart on the volume of
oil imports and other vital categories of
The bill contains mandatory standards
and procedures designed to insure that
agreements among and common courses
of action by the oil companies to deal
with the shortages oo not result in permanent
violations of the letter and spirit
of the antitrust laws. In recent years, the
oil industry has experienced a - whole
series of major adjustments and market
realinements which pose serious threats
to competition. Under shortage conditions
these threats can become reality as
the big companies grow stronge1· and
more profitable and the small companies
grow weaker, more dependent and more
vulnera,ble. This pJ:Ovision of the Energy
Emergency Act will insure tbSt this does
not happen.
A UTHORITT I"OB. IU!:G"OLAB. GAS STAUOK OPEBATIl'(
G SbUXS, ENERGY C0NSERVATION1 PLANS,
The bill provides the basic legal authority
for a wide range of actions dep
signed to- conserve scarce -energy resources
in a manner that is fair to all
classes of consumers and all regions of
the country. These actions must be proposed
in specific terms and are subject to
Congressional review and veto. One of
the most important actions contemplated
is a program to.provide the American
people with certainty and regularity as
to service station hours.
The bill als9 provides authority for the
establishment of a national, stand-by
gasoline rationing program. Implementation
of rationing may prove inevitable
in the months ahead if shortage~~ persist
and if other State and Federal programs
do not serve to bring some sense of order
to the chaotic situation which exists In
many regions of the country. "#;_

which are vttal to elfectively dealing w1lli

Mr. President, the Nation is looking
to Congress for leadership and action.
We are in a national emergency, make
no mistake about it. The Gallup poll
shows Congress at its lowest level in history
so far as its standing with the
American people is concerned. We are
now confronted with a grave emergency. -
If this Congress sends this conference
"report back to conference so that it is
there for a thfrd time, I know what the
American people are going to say. They
are going to sa;y that Congress cannot
deal with a national emergency, and they
will be right in saying so. Every provision
in this bill relates to things happening
to people each and every day. To
:my, "Leave things alone and everything
will be fine," provides no answer; that
is what is going on now. Prices are going
up and the supplies available to meet the
needs are going down. We are having fist
fights in gas stations and we will soon
have riots in the streets unless we pass
this emergency legislation.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent
that a telegram from Mr. Leonard

There being no objection, the telegram

When Network World magazine decided to move its conference from a hotel to a convention center because the event had grown, Dale Fisher, director of event operations for the South-borough, Mass. — based media company, didn't think she would have trouble finding a venue. All she had heard about was the overbuilt convention center market, a stark contrast to the hotel industry's raging seller's market.
But that was not the case.
Officials from one venue told her that while they had several weeks on the calendar available, they were leaving them open in case a group came along that could book the entire week. That is something that she would expect a hotel would do — not a convention center. After four months of looking, she finally found space at Moscone Center West in San Francisco.
"What I found was that the convention centers wouldn't take my business either, which surprised me," she says. "I thought that would be my easy answer."
Convention centers turning business away is fairly uncommon, says Jim Grinstead, owner, Convention and Conference Facilities, a Nashville, Tenn. — based consultant. When a group can't book a city, it typically isn't "a matter of convention centers turning away business — they'd never get a shot at it," he says. If centers cannot accommodate groups, "It's more likely that there aren't enough hotel rooms for the market."
Candy Adams, owner of Trade Show Consulting, Vista, Calif., knows firsthand how difficult it is to find rooms in some markets. In booking a block of rooms for an upcoming trade show for a client in the Southeast, she called an hour and a half after the block officially opened, but had to settle for rooms 15 miles away from the convention center. That was as close as she could get. "I'm out in the boondocks," she says, where the rates aren't much different from those of downtown hotels and transportation is required. "That would never have happened a few years ago."
Ripple Effect
Doug Ducate, president and chief executive officer, Center for Exhibition Industry Research, Dallas, confirms that the high-demand, low-supply seller's market is affecting hotel booking policies in a big way.
In major convention cities where there are multiple convention hotels, the ones that are not designated headquarters hotels are only willing to give a fraction of their rooms to citywides. They would rather hold out and book an in-house meeting that also uses their function space and food and beverage.
Ducate explains the situation from the perspective of the hotelier: "If I give away my inventory of rooms as a secondary or overflow property, then I don't have the committable rooms to attract another piece of business." As a result, the room blocks are being spread out to many different properties, which is inconvenient for both planners and attendees.
What's also happening, says Brad Weaber, executive vice president and chief customer officer, Experient (formerly Conferon Global Services), Twinsburg, Ohio, is that groups are being caught short of rooms because they might have booked smaller blocks a few years ago to avoid attrition penalties. Now, with attendance levels higher than expected, they are having to scramble to add rooms. But with such high occupancy rates, those rooms are hard to find.
For planners who can book space 12 to 18 months out, the key is flexibility, says Tim Brown, partner, Meeting Sites Resource, Irvine, Calif. "Getting in is one thing — getting in right is another thing," says Brown. So, it may be better to shift dates a little bit to "have the right fit," he adds, than to compromise the package by settling for less convention center space or an inconvenient room block. Being flexible may also mean looking at secondary and tertiary markets, provided that they have enough room to accommodate the event.
Long Beach, Calif.; Tampa, Fla.; Charlotte, N.C.; Salt Lake City, Utah; and St. Louis are some second- and third-tier cities that are seeing more overflow meeting activity, says Weaber.
To find hotel rooms for a meeting on short notice, corporate planners might be better served by "waiting to see what the hotel has versus walking in and saying, 'This is what I want,'" says Weaber.
Guaranteeing a certain amount of F&B is a good way to make the piece of business more attractive to hotels, he adds, as is building a block by using multiple brands within a chain.
For their part, convention and visitors bureaus are trying to help by being flexible as well. "We're trying to layer business among [Moscone's] three buildings so that hotels don't feel such extreme peaks and valleys with the room flow generated by the [convention] center accounts," explains Lysa Levin, director of sales, San Francisco Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Put CVBs to Work
In today's hot hotel market, the role of convention and visitors bureaus has never been more valuable for meeting planners seeking space.
"Going through a convention bureau and letting them move that potential piece of business among the whole competitive set so that meeting planners can get a better assessment of the total marketplace is really helpful," states Bill Peeper, president of the Orlando/Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau, who recently announced his retirement after 22 years with the bureau.
Christine Shimasaki, executive vice president of sales and marketing at the San Diego CVB, agrees. "I think [the seller's market] is a huge opportunity for convention and visitors bureaus, because as availability and supply tighten, what meeting planners are going to need is a source that enables them to do a comprehensive search for availability — and that's what CVBs are here for."

Former Virginia wide receiver Kris Burd became the fifth Cavalier to sign on with a NFL team as an undrafted free agent. Burd agreed to terms with the New York Jets on Sunday.
In 2011, Burd led Virginia in receiving with 66 receptions for 913 yards and three touchdowns. The fifth-year senior caught two scores in the Chick-fil-A Bowl against Auburn before leaving the game with a shoulder injury.
Burd is one of two ACC free agents signed by the Jets so far, joining Boston College corner back Donnie Fletcher.

Look back over some of the week's stories and learn some words relating to work.
On today's review English Bites we're going to look back over some of the week's stories.
We're going to learn some words relating to work, and then we'll talk about word groups.
But let's start by looking again at our story on migrant workers in Australia. We'll hear from some business in the Northern Territory who can't find local workers, so have been hiring workers from overseas.
LINDY KERIN: Recruiting workers from overseas is for many companies a last resort but it seems to be a sign of the times.
JON BAKER: (Territory Construction Association) We've got major skill shortages with all trades from block layers, plaster fixers, electricians and plumbers, to the extent we having to see increases in costs to consumers. We're seeing consumers having to wait longer to get the jobs done.
LINDY KERIN: Mary Cunningham runs the Territory Government Skilled Migration Program.
MARY CUNNINGHAM: (DBRD) The skilled shortages are almost common across Australia although the Territory has some unique ones, particularly in relation to the health in remote areas. Trades areas, I think the whole raft of trades, you can start at the construction trades, electrical trades, across the board.
They're talking about recruiting workers from overseas to work in Australian businesses.
To 'recruit' means to find new people to work in a company or organisation.
'Recruiting' means finding and employing new workers.
Businesses are employing workers from overseas, because they can't find enough skilled workers in Australia.
There are skill shortages in all trades.
A 'shortage' is when there's not enough of something.
And a 'trade' is a skilled job, one where you work with your hands.
So there are not enough workers who have a trade, who can work with their hands.
He lists some of the trades in which there is a shortage of workers.
There aren't enough 'mechanics, block layers, plaster fixers, electricians and plumbers'.
So businesses need workers for the car industry, in the construction, or building, trades and in electrical trades.
Now let's hear what some businesses in another area are doing about the worker shortage, this time in a rural community in Victoria.
KATE ARNOTT: To tackle the worker shortage the Grampians Pyrenees Regional Development Board has come up with a novel solution. In a Victorian first it's formed the Seasonal Worker Network, which is made up of employers, TAFE colleges, job networks and labour hire companies.
The network aims to train 80 locals who can be employed across a number of seasonal industries and end up with full-time work.
DUNCAN HANDLEY, PROJECT CO-ORDINATOR: They could go from the wine industry. The pruning side of things takes place from, say, June to September during the year. They can finish in the vineyard then and then go into a period of shearing, then they could maybe move back into the vineyard through summer doing some vine training, and then maybe move into the meat-processing side of things through late summer.
In this region, they have come up with a new solution.
There are many local businesses that offer seasonal work.
Seasonal' means occurring during a season only, not for the whole year.
'Seasonal work' is work done during part of the year.
For example, fruit picking is seasonal work. There's only work to do when the fruit is ripe. It's seasonal.
Thre is a new program that aims to 'train', or teach, 80 locals.
It will teach people to have the skills that are needed in the local area.
Once people have been trained, they can work in a number of seasonal industries.
The word 'industry' describes the people and activities involved in a type of business.
'Seasonal industries' are those that take place only at a certain time of year.
So people are trained to work in a wide variety of businesses that need workers at certain times of the year. Because the workers are trained to do many different jobs, they can have full time work.
They do many different types of jobs.
They might work in the wine industry, pruning from June until September.
'Pruning' means cutting plants so they grow better.
Then they can spend some time shearing.
'Shearing' refers to cutting the wool off a sheep.
They can work in the vineyards again through summer doing 'vine training', making the vines grow properly.
Then through late summer they might work in 'meat processing', preparing meat for sale.
Each of these jobs only lasts for a few months, but if someone has the skills to do them all, they can be employed full time.
OK, now let's look at another of this week's stories. It was about a team of Welsh shearers that came to work in Australia.
The Welsh mountain sheep and crossbreeds they normally shear are very different. They carry around 2 kilos of wool compared to a merino, which can carry up to 6 kilos.
MALE: The one boy had shorn merinos before but the other one had never seen merinos, so he had quite a shock.
MALE: I am shearing now on the neck, we are not used to the wrinkles.
PATRICK EMMETT: When the world championships start in Toowoomba next week, merinos are what everyone has to shear. So this week has seen some intensive practice and the sessions have attracted interest from near and far.
Local shearing contractor Pete Smith is the man who arranged for the Welsh team's outback training session.
With blade shears still used in Australia to prepare prized sheep for sale, he saw it as an opportunity to pick up a few tips on technique.
PETE SMITH: These fellows are world class, so it gives our blokes an opportunity to pick up from the best.
The shearing team is visiting an outback farm in South Australia.
Local shearing contractor Pete Smith is the man who arranged the visit.
A 'contractor' is a person hired to do a certain job, for a certain price.
Contractors aren't employees. They are hired just to do a particular thing. They have a 'contract', or agreement, to perform the service.
Tradespeople are often contractors. For example, plumbers, electricians and builders.
But here, Pete Smith is a 'shearing contractor' - he provides shearers to local farms to work during the shearing season.
He arranged for the Welsh team to have an outback 'training session' -time spent practicing to shear Australian sheep.
So notice the many the different forms of the word 'shear' we've used today.
Shear has got noun, adjective and verb forms.
The verb forms are 'shear, sheared or shorn'.
The adjective is 'shearing', like a 'shearing shed'.
And the noun forms are 'shearing, shearers and shears'. (See the spotlight for Monday's story, 'Welsh Shearers' for more about the word 'shear')

An interactive project that explores our relationships with nature and technology. To be built in Germany during a 3 month residency.
Hi, my name is Jason Sho and I'm going to Leipzig, Germany for three months to build an interactive art installation. I want it to expand the connections between the studio, gallery, and internet communities. It's an exploration of the relationships between people, nature, and technology.
The wall installation is a landscape that spirals into a city in the center. It will be a mixed media assemblage of drawings, paintings, sculpture, robotics, and projections. The outer scenes are inspired by Ikebana (Japanese flower arrangements). They're simple and carefully spaced. As they give way to the cityscape, it becomes a lush chaos of lights and movement.
The inner city portion will be a dense accumulation of buildings, electroluminescent lights, projections of visitors, moving cameras, animations, and mechanical parts. I want it to feel like emerging from the subway in Tokyo or NYC.
A few cameras in the installation will film the landscape, streaming to the internet. They'll be situated within the scenes, giving viewers a first person view as if they're living in the installation world. I'm experimenting with a Kinect (basically a 3d camera) to extract people from the studio environment, then project them back into the cityscape. Some parts of the installation will be controllable by internet activity. I hope for it to be an interesting connection between the physical installation space and visitors to the virtual space on the web.
I'll also be building an educational portion of the website with step-by-step instructions, links to good sources, and credits to where I found inspiration for these projects. I'm hoping it can be a good resource for people interested in entry level robotics, toy hacking, and simple interaction design.
I've been accepted into the One Sided Story residency in Leipzig, Germany to build and exhibit this work. I'll be working alongside a rotating group of artists at the Spinnerei under the sponsorship of the nonprofit international art organization Halle 14.

If the attorney general would research the past administrations he will find out that they failed in closing the Indian casinos. The law and the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act has not changed. I would think the attorney general has more important crime to fight than the Indian casinos.
This is a waste of taxpayers' money to go through another lawsuit that is going to be thrown out of court or overturned by a federal court. Maybe Strange is trying to set the groundwork for the governor's job at the next election. Let's hope not.

Rihanna Wears Grunge-Inspired Outfit In Concert
Rihanna's outfit featuring a waist-tied "shirt" for a recent performance in London, very much brings to mind Marc Jacob's notorious Spring '93 grunge collection for Perry Ellis, which was so controversial it eventual led to his dismissal (who's sorry now Perry Ellis??). My guess is that Rihanna's skirt-shirt wasn't designed by anyone, rather created by a savvy stylist, with the military lace-up boots Jacob's favored updated with black, lace-up stilettos.
It's funny that Jacob's collection is so celebrated now because at the time it was reviled not just by fashion folks but also the punks who inspired it, including Courtney Love, who has claimed she and her husband, Kurt Cobain, burned it after Jacobs sent it to them. But oh how minds have changed. Back then, the runways and the fashion community were viewed as the establishment, and now, street and fashion are practically joined at the hip!
After the flip see the Sonic Youth video "Sugar Kane," which was filmed in the Perry Ellis showroom and shows pieces from the grunge collection, plus features an up and coming Chloe Sevigny. There's an also a 2001 excerpt from an Index magazine interview, in which Jacobs discusses the 1993 collection, described by him as his "favorite."

Hi all,
I am non-EU kennis migrant in NL, I decided to finally do the inburgering course as I am going to hit 5 year mark soon and want to apply my next permit as PR. I went to this ROC in Amsterdam where they give course sponsored by govt.
Can I join such course ofcourse not for free I want to pay, the reason I want that course is because of group I will get. And then it will be inburgering course with portfolio and all instead of some private dutch course, with very less success (I had bad experience in the past with such courses).
I went to that place but this guy don't know what to do, after seeing my permit, he just said I cannot do course here even if I said I can pay, he seems doubtful and asked his colleague who seems to be equally doubtful.
Now, my question is can I do inburgering course after paying in govt sponsored places. Somebody has any experience in this.
Or any other suggestion for people who wants to do inburgering in private space.
Please reply before i lost interest in this whole inburgering thing :).
Anybody ? blackwater, chakedeindia or cool_john I see you guys passed the inburgering exam. Can you please give me some tips. did you followed inburgering course and from where?
Note : This forum don't allow mail among memeber unless they are friends, so addressing you here, hope its fine.
Thanks for reply blackwater, the first question I have is about the course itself. Did you joined some private lessons? I went to Gemeente operated institute at my place hoping that they will admit me but even after offering full fees for the course they asked me to contact some private lessons. I now contacted Iviointegratie, they gave me positive reply and I scheduled an interview with them. I am poor in dutch (speaking part) I can read and understand it good, do you think my goal of passing this inburgering (level A2) before I apply for my RP next year is feasible.
I also heard that there are two things either you give individual level exam (staatsexamen) or you do inburgering, is ther any other option. Whats better?
Or any other fast track to get to level A2 (not exmption exam I think its hard).
Please tell what path you followed.
Hi. I do not think gemeente and gemeente sponsered schools will allow you. At least I could not find one. May be you have to take private course. There are lots of private schools . So depends where u are. However you can go to gemeente and check with them. Atleast they can tell nearest school in their lcality. Everthing is possible it depends how much effort u can putin...most importantly do you like to learn dutch or not? I hope this will be helpful. Cheers
blackwater said:
I did 1 year course from gemeentee but it was for NT2 not for inburgering.but after few months i realized inburgering is much easy to pass. so i paid for exam myself but passed in one go. rest add me as friend we can talk on phone that will be easier for me to tell rather than writing here
Hi Blackwater, I have many questions regarding inburgeren A2 exams. I lived for more than 5 years in holland and want to apply for PR first and then apply for Dutch passport. I am a highly skilled migrant from India. Passing Inburgern A2 will it be enough for PR and dutch passport.
I learnt dutch intermediate level in a school in amsterdam and now can speak, understand dutch survival level. I want to join some training classes for inburgern A2 to study it in fast track.
Can you suggest some school where you studied or provide your contact if possible for a quick chat.
