Home > Current Students > Curriculum > Course Guide > Course Details Course DetailsFederalism, the Intersection of Law and History
Description:The focus of this seminar will be federalism. Issues surrounding sovereignty have vexed the American people since at least 1765, when the English Parliament adopted the Stamp Act. The Declaration of Independence established the principle that sovereignty resides in the people. The Constitution established the principle that the people could divide their sovereignty between the states on the one hand and a national government on the other. Throughout American history issues have arisen regarding the nature of the relationship between sovereign states and the United States. Collectively, the resolution of these issues is what the law calls federalism. Federalism decisions are driven as much by cultural, social, and political forces as they are by any discernible legal doctrine. Each student will be assigned a Supreme Court case or legislative enactment to research, write about, and present to the class. The list of potential topics to be covered is in the attached sample syllabus. The focus of each paper and presentation will be the historical context in which the issue addressed arose. The student will be required to research and analyze, not only the legal context of the issue, but also to research and analyze the historical context in which the issue arose. The student's paper will provide a historical background to the facts giving rise to the case or legislative enactment; both in terms of the specific facts in the case, as well as the larger historical context in which the specific facts arose. The paper will analyze the federalism issue both in a traditional legal way, as well as in a broader historical sense. Put differently, the paper will comment upon not only the immediate impact the decision had upon the parties, but will also address the impact it had on the states, the nation, and subsequent jurisprudence. The pedagogical approach will be similar to Professor Stein's Great Cases class. While the course content will cover some of the same cases and concepts addressed in Professor Erbsen's Federal & State Courts class, as well as Professor Tostrud's Federal Jurisdiction class, the focus in this class will be on the relationship between the issues and their historical context. The question to be addressed with respect to each issue is not, what it can tell about federal jurisdiction, or procedure. Instead, the question is what it can tell about the impact of historical currents on the development of the law as it relates to federalism. |

Making Banana Muffins In Bulk ~ Perfect for Freezing! (she: Wendy)
I love the idea of making them in bulk! It would come in soooo handy for those days you just need to grab something quick. Love it!
Thanks for sharing these! I'm excited to try this recipe; I've never found a banana bread/muffin recipe that I actually like. I've been thinking about freezing muffins but haven't baked any yet. What do you use to suck the air out of your bags? emmillee(At)gmail(dot)com
Great question!
We seal up the bag leaving a 2 cm gap and then my Sweetheart acts as a vacuum and sucks the air out. Then we close it.
There are also vacuum sealers out in the world that you can purchase and control how much air gets sucked out so that muffins don't get flattened to dough balls. I don't own one that's why I have my Sweetheart.
Awesome — I would never have thought of using jar rings as muffin cup holders. Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Using jar rings — ingenious!
Ooh, what a great idea with the rings!!! I've never seen that before! You have the best ideas, Wendy!
What a great idea!
Oh I love making things in bulk to save time and energy – that lid idea is so awesome! These look delicious.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the lid idea!!! I've never had enough muffin tins on hand to bake everything at once. Now I won't have to do them in shifts!!!
I have always wondered how to get more cupcakes/muffins baked in each batch. Brilliant tip on the canning rings!!
Yay! I've learned something new. I love the bulk idea. Thx!

One thing has been very clear throughout the media coverage of Trayvon Martin's murder: He has parents who will stop at nothing to see justice served.
BLOG: The Heartfelt Silence Of Carmelo Anthony
A moving article was penned by the Miami Herald chronicling the brave activism of the slain teen's parents and how they have found solace through activism, and are using the loss of their son to serve as something bigger than a personal grievance.
PHOTOS: Final Memories: Trayvon Martin 9 Days Before His Death
Check out some excerpts from the article below:
[Sybrina Fulton] repeated answers to the same tired questions with poise. She pretended it did not irk her to be asked again and again: "What would you say to George Zimmerman?" Fulton gave a dozen back-to-back interviews that day, often invoking the Bible verse from Proverbs that got her through the crushing grief in the public eye: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding."
"I am not doing this for fun," Fulton told The Miami Herald later, a BET news camera rolling. "I am doing this for a purpose. I know the purpose I am doing it for, and it pushes me forward, giving me the force to go ahead and put my clothes on and do it."
"We had a lot of questions. I questioned, 'Why Trayvon?'" she said. "So many people's children are killed, and their names are not known all over the world. Trayvon's name is known all over the world. I had to go back and re-read that scripture and lean not to my own understanding."
The family lawyer later chimes in about Trayvon's mother's activism saying:
"I still don't think Sybrina has completely accepted that Trayvon is never coming back," said Benjamin Crump, the Tallahassee attorney the family hired to help push for criminal charges. "At some point it will hit her. The media interviews are a constant reminder that this is real. What distinguishes Sybrina is that she's an educated woman who tries to think before she responds. She has an inner voice, and I'm blown away by the things she says."
As is the world.
If bravity was eptimozed it wold have the face of Sybrina Fulton. We will continue to keep our proverbial hoodies up in the firght for justice.
Check out the whole article over at the Miami Herald.

ICIS provides expert local coverage of the China coal markets.
We publish robust pricing information, in-depth analysis and the latest news for China, which is the world's largest producer, consumer and importer of coal.
Our China coal information is available in pricing and market reports, providing you with everything you need to make informed business decisions.
What's happening in the Coal market?
After a turbulent start to 2011 which saw China emerge as a major net importer of coal, global fuel markets rallied in response to the accident at the Japanese nuclear plant.
Ample supply and continuous worries over the global financial crisis now weigh heavily on major coal hubs. European recession fears are spilling in to China and other Asian countries.
This combination of ample supply and faltering economies mean that coal demand projections are well below anticipated levels. At the same time, the European market seems to have matured.
The traditional suppliers to Europe, such as Columbia, the US and Russia are now fixing their sights on Chinese and Indian markets as new sources of revenue.
Once again the focus of the coal market is shifting, the pace of change accelerating and the need for information increasing rapidly.
ICIS is well position to supply that information to help make important trading decisions.
We offer the following regional Coal coverage to keep you informed of factors and developments affecting prices in the China Coal market.
Price Reporting – More information about the price reports we publish on Coal

News & Analysis - News & market analysis specifically relating to Coal
Breaking Coal news of latest developments affecting the markets.
Insight and analysis of factors driving prices.
Chinese thermal coal market was bearish during the period from mid-February to mid-May because of slow demand. The prices of domestic coal 5500 kcal FOB (free on board) Qinhuangdao fell to yuan (CNY) 600/tonne from CNY620/tonne.
Industrial demand for electricity hit the bottom during the Lunar New Year holiday on 9-15 February because a majority of the factories were shut at that time. Power generation rebounded slowly after the holiday. Power generation was in the range of 65-75% from mid-Feb to mid-May, down by 5-10 percentage points compared with the same period last year.
Datong-Qinhuangdao railway's maintenance lasted 25 days from 13 April to 7 May, resulting in a reduction of nearly 7.25m tonnes of inflow.
However, the decrease in inflow did not have any significant impact as the market was oversupplied. Both coal producers and power companies were under high inventory pressure, with the power companies keeping more than 20 days' coal stock when the normal stock level is 15 days.
The negotiations of 2013 contract between China coal giant and power companies were mostly done in March, which narrowed the price gap between imported coal and domestic coal. This weakened the competitiveness of imported coal in the three months to mid-May.
Updated to mid-May 2013
The China Steam Coal Weekly report provides unique pricing information, supply and demand analysis and news on the domestic steam coal markets.
Our robust price assessments cover the delivered price of imported steam coal from Indonesia through to power plants in southern and eastern China. They offer proprietary free on board (FOB) assessments for import steam coal ex four global locations, plus delivered prices for domestic supply to eastern regions in China. We also publish front-month assessments for Brent crude, WTI crude and natural gas futures, imported steam coal and domestically produced steam coal, along with China freight and international freight rates.
The China Steam Coal Weekly report is the only publication to offer pricing information focused on the domestic China markets. It is also the only report to provide in-depth data and analysis on inventories at power plants, as well as the coal purchase price by plants.
This expert report is aimed at coal importers into China, international coal producers, traders and suppliers to the energy industry in China. It is an essential guide to global market players, supporting them in their business decision-making processes.
ICIS offers an unmatched historical data series thanks to its pioneering work on the energy markets. Whether you are looking to build pricing models, analyse past trends or strengthen your risk management strategy, ICIS's historical data will help you make better decisions and complete your data archive.
Our historical pricing information includes price assessments, indices and trades and - for some markets - stretches as far back as 1994. Our historical data suite can provide you with: price assessments and trades for Europe's most liquid hubs; benchmark indices series for flagship NBP market; unrivalled price history for seven European power markets; LNG price assessments, pool prices and trades; detailed pricing information for the crude oil, carbon and coal markets; tailored packages to suit your needs.

China is aiming to slow energy consumption in 2011-2015, as part of its efforts to correct overuse and foster greener economy.
Margins for Germany's coal-fired power plants could have hit roof, following almost a year of an upward trend.
The bull run on clean dark spreads might now be curbed by the fact there limited downside potential left in coal and carbon prices – the cost components of the spread.
British transmission system operator (TSO) National Grid is predicting that UK power generators will favour coal over natural gas this winter, which could boost demand for carbon allowances, in the EU's second biggest greenhouse-gas-emitting economy.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Heather: [QB] Well, ideally, if you aren't feeling a thing with people in the activities that might lead up to sex, you don't go ahead and have sex, so that's a non-issue. In other words, let's try this: before whatever you are calling sex is something you choose to do, are you getting pleasure from the things leading up to it? Are they feeling exciting and satisfying? Has it yet been about more than simply wanting attention, or to try and 'earn" or keep love with sex? As well, are you basically pursing sexual relationships when you still feel like you have a lot to work out with your own sexuality on your own? If so, my best advice would be to table sexual relationships and instead spend time working on your sexuality by yourself and/or with the help of a therapist (ideally not just by phone) first.

helloo... i used to be on here all the time and left thousands and thousands of messages about my issues with sex and my boyfriend at the time. i never felt any sexual pleasure whatsoever and it never really got solved and then we broke up.
well, iv literally just about got over that break up, even though it happened over a year ago, hardest thing that iv ever been through, he led me on for months after that and was really cruel, we even slept together again back in march because he had me believe we were getting back together.
ANYWAY, hes got a new girlfriend now and hes totally out of my life we have zero contact.
iv had quite a few sexual partners since him. he was the first person i slept with, but i have now slept with 9 people and i havent felt sexual pleasure with any of them. none whatsoever, through any form of sexual contact. i wasnt in a relationship with any of them though.
i basically feel like, im never going to feel anything, as frustrating as it is, and as horny and tense it makes me.
but, iv started dating again. i even went on a date today and i get the impression things might go further, will probably start going out more and 'seeing each other'.
but i dont want to lie, or pretend. i have pretended every single time that i feel something during sex, making all the oohs and ahhhs in all the right places etc...
i dont want to do that anymore, its so depressing.
but i dunno what to do cos at some point that moments gonna come, if i get into a new relationship, sex is gonna be kind of the done thing. and i want to, i really want to... but i just dont want to pretend i feel something that i dont.
just need some help really, what do i say to my next boyfriend?
Member # 25425
So, let's start with these other guys you slept with.
Did you feel attracted to them? Did you feel comfortable being around them, and did you feel ready to engage in sexual activity with them? Were you able to communicate to them what you liked and didn't?
Those are some big questions, and the answer to those can help us help you sort out your feelings around sex.
I think it is great that you want to be honest with a new partner. That's really the basis of ay good relationship. But, I think you'll want to go one step further and also try and be more honest and real with yourself. So, I'd say we start by doing away with any ideas that sex is a "done thing" in any relationship (it doesn't have to be), and any fears of disappointing a partner, and try to sort out, first, how YOU feel about sex. All by yourself, without the pressure of wondering about a partner's expectations, how do YOU feel about it? How do you feel about your body? How do you feel about solo sex? What are your desires there?
Member # 51769
i didnt feel attracted to all of them. some of them i really did. one of them i started to fall for because he was so kind and open and generally lovely. another one i really liked for aaaages and then i slept with him. i dont really communicate what i like or dont like because i dont like or dislike anything. apart from things that hurt obviously, then i would say that it hurt. or things like cuddling, i love cuddling so i usually tell them i love cuddling afterwards.
the one i mentioned at the start of this message, i actually used to love having sex with him because he was so cuddly and loving towards me... but its just the actual sexual pleasure part, the genital part... i had to make noises and do all the deep breathing etc but it was all fake because i dont feel anything down there.
i know sex doesnt have to be the done thing. but i am a highly sexually frustrated person. imagine being constantly horny but there is absolutely nothing you can do about it...
i like my body, and dont have any major major hangups, i can quite happily be naked around a guy.
id love to masturabte, and i try almost every day, im not sure why though because it does nothing...
Member # 25425
I've just refreshed my memory a little and read up on your older posts, so I want to add another question to the list: did you ever follow up on getting some counseling to help you with your self-esteem?
Member # 51769
i have actually been through all of this, sooo many times with heather, over a year ago, for about a year haha. i know im not going to feel sexual pleasure, the point is, what do i say to furute boyfriends?
Member # 51769
yeahh i did. its free health service and are obviously very busy etc... they often dont call when they are supposed to, dont get back to voicemails etc... thinking of going private. my confidence about my physical self though, as in my body etc, that is fine
Member # 25425
Okay, so the first thing I am hearing here is some of the issues that we discussed earlier, which is that you are engaging in sex you're not really into. Which is, now as then, not a great idea.
So the first thing that I would actually recommend, again, is taking a step back from any sexual activity you're not really feeling. Going along with something, even faking enjoyment, is not fair on any of the people involved. And it's certainly not going to help you figure out what works for you sexually, as that involves being in touch with your body and listening to it, rather than shutting it down.
This also means that, in my opinion, now is not a very good time to enter into a sexual relationship with anyone.
So, you say you desire sex. Can you maybe try and describe to me what it is that you desire? What is that you feel when you want sex? What do you think it will give you?
Also, you you "try" to masturbate every day. Are you usually aroused when you start? How does that feel to you? What do you expect to get out of masturbation?
Member # 25425
Okay, so just to be clear and to make sure I am giving you what you are asking for: are you looking for advice on what may potentially be going on when you don't feel the pleasure you are expecting to feel, OR are you, for now, resigned to not feeling pleasure and are looking for ways to tell future partners that you are not currently looking for a sexual relationship?
Member # 51769
but i really dont think im ever going to feel sexual pleasure. so does that mean i can never be in a relationship? even if i really like someone? even if i feel strong desire for them? seems pretty rubbish and sad to me.
i have taken a step back from it, i went through a phase of sleeping with people then realised how pointless it all was and stopped. its only because iv met someone that im on here now.
i desire sex? i want to be touched, all over, kissed, rubbed, stroked, manual sex, oral sex, intercourse... generally most things sexual is what i want.
when i want it, i feel tense down nelow, like it wants something done to it, i want to touch it, so i do, but it doesnt do anything, it carries on feeling the same. i dont think sex will give me anything because it wont, but what i want it to give me is release! and some satisfaction, some pleasure!
i dunno what you mean by aroused because my feeling of aroused is different to everyone elses iv spoken to because they all feel sexual pleasure and i dont.
when i feel im aroused, im thinking of a sexual situation, fantasising etc... i get wet, and i feel tense, i try touching myself, nothing happens, i then get more tense more frustrated and then just irritable.
and again, i dont really expect anything because nothing ever happens, but i would like to get a pleasurable feeling, some satisfaction etc out of masturbation, exactly the same with sex.
Member # 51769
i want help in knowing what to say to future boyfriends when i dont sound like im feeling pleasure. i will have sex with them probably, if i like them enough. i know i wont feel a anything though but i find it hard to believe that a guy is going to enjoy having sex with me if i just lie there not really making much of a response. i dont want to upset them etc...
Member # 3
georgie: good to see you again, and I'm glad that you're starting to do better.
So, back when, you and I had many long conversations, and I want to make sure we don't start back at square one.
In those conversations, we talked about you looking into some counseling and therapy: were you ever able to follow through with that?
We also talked a lot about not having sex with anyone because you felt you had to, faking pleasure you weren't feeling, and I think we also talked about avoiding moving into sex with anyone too fast. It doesn't sound like some of these things have changed, even with a different partner. In the past, I know you'd said that with your previous partner, for instance, because of the dynamics of that person and that relationship, you had to feign enjoyment of things you didn't like.
Why do you think, with that person now not part of the picture, you've continued that dynamic with other partners since?
(Also, just for the record, when we say arousal, we mean feelings of sexual excitement, not necessarily what someone experiences after having those feelings or engaging in sex. And for sure, some people, or some people sometimes, find those feelings pleasureable, while other folks, or other folks sometimes, don't find they feel pleasurable to them.)

yeah i did but like i said, its a free service, they are very busy and i imagine thats why my sessions sometimes get forgotten. its meant to be over the phone. they call at the wrong times sometimes, sometimes dont call at all, dont get back to my voicemails etc. im thinking of just paying for private therapy.
it didnt change for a long while. i had sex with people because i wanted to feel loved and i wanted attention. but then i stopped doing that, and i had sex with people i really liked, felt attracted to etc.
i think iv carried it on because... who wants to have sex with someone if they are just lying there like a dead fish? i dont think anyone does.
okay, well when i feel 'aroused', i feel excited at the idea of something, but tense and heavy in my vagina area. and that is shortly followed by frustration because it doesnt go any further than that no matter what i do.
Member # 3
Well, ideally, if you aren't feeling a thing with people in the activities that might lead up to sex, you don't go ahead and have sex, so that's a non-issue.
In other words, let's try this: before whatever you are calling sex is something you choose to do, are you getting pleasure from the things leading up to it? Are they feeling exciting and satisfying? Has it yet been about more than simply wanting attention, or to try and 'earn" or keep love with sex?
As well, are you basically pursing sexual relationships when you still feel like you have a lot to work out with your own sexuality on your own? If so, my best advice would be to table sexual relationships and instead spend time working on your sexuality by yourself and/or with the help of a therapist (ideally not just by phone) first.

yeah it has been more than that. with the guy i used to sleep with, i really liked him, he liked me but didnt want a relationship. that was cool. and, i wanted to have sex with him, because i wanted to. because i was horny.
and no im not, i just met this guy and i like him and we've been texting and talking on the phone for a while, he took me on a date today and it was really nice. i just feel like its really sh*t that i have to stop myself from being with someone just because my vagina doesnt co-operate. so if things do develop with this guy im not going to stop it. i just want to know how its best to explain to him that i dont feel what he probably might expect me to feel, without hurting his feelings.
Member # 3
So, I hear you saying there was someone you wanted to have sex with, because you felt sexual hunger or desire.
But I also hear you saying that "sex" -- maybe you can tell me what that means to you? Anything sexual, or something specific? -- thus far, even with yourself, has not been satisfying. So, assuming you didn't want an unsatisfying experience, can you maybe try and say what it was you DID want in feeling that desire?
What do you mean if things develop with this guy you're not going to "stop it?" What's "it?"
Member # 25425
Also, and hopefully you don't feel like we're dog-piling on you, I'd also want to add that sex really isn't all about the vagina. So, you say that you haven't experienced pleasure from activities that involve your vagina, yes? Well, what about activities that involve other body parts? Have you done any exploring, alone or with a partner, to see in which parts of your body you DO experience pleasurable feelings?
Member # 51769
yeah thats correct.
sex to me means stuff like fingering and oral and intercourse.
basically i would feel horny, have that desire and have sex in the hope that maybe i would feel pleasure. i always have hope i guess that maybe, just maybe it will work. i think if i feel this much desire surely it will be pleasurable this time? i thought that every time.
and with him, i didnt really mind that much because it was good in other ways, he was very affectionate and cuddly. it was just the actual faking i didnt like.
and i mean if things develop as in, we become exclusive, together, in a relationship
Member # 51769
i dont really feel anything sexxual from any other part of my body. i like affection, cuddling, but only because it brings feeling of comfort and love and romance. its not particuarly sexual.
like, alot of people have sensitive nipples or other sensitive areas. i dont. although when someone kisses me on the neck it tickles in a kind of nice way, which i like but its not nice enough to be satisfying
Member # 3
So, sex, when you say that, you mean something involving anyone's genitals? or just your vagina? Or...?
Whether or not a given kind of sex feels good to us isn't just about our desire for it. By all means, having a desire for it is almost always part of something feeling good. But only one part.
So, let's make your language about any of this active, not passive, okay? I think that will help here a lot. So, if you and he choose, together, to become involved in an exclusive relationship of some kind, you will not "stop that," you will agree to that. And that would involve, in your mind, agreeing to what?
Can I also ask why it sounds like you feel that even though, from the sounds of things, touching yourself sexually genitally hasn't been pleasurable for you so far, you think it will be with someone else?
Member # 51769
i mean their genitals too, not just mine!
i guess, agreeing to being with him and only him and vice versa... im not going to refuse someone sex when they are a sexual person, and they like it and if im their girlfriend it seems a bit selfish and unfair to just deprive them of that.
but when i say that i dont mean it as bad as it sounds.
i mean i would compromise. if i dont want to have sex im not going to but im not going to completely deprive them of it... if i wanna do it for them, i will.
and i dont expect that. i dont expect to feel anything at all, hence why i am asking in advance for advice about how to explain that to a boyfriend when i have one.
Member # 3
So, just to check in: so far when your genitals OR theirs are engaged, you're not experiencing any feelings, emotional or physical, of pleasure or enjoyment?
So, when you say agreeing to be with him and only him, you mean sexually? can I ask why, with where things still are, you'd choose to even enter into a sexual relationship with him or anyone else right now?
It also sounds like you're still, as you were in the past, thinking of sex as something someone owes someone in certain contexts, because a person wants sex, whether or not the other person wants or enjoys it. Do I have that right?
It also still sounds like you're thinking that the "right answer" to that is to enter into relationships where that is expected of you but might not be right for you, rather than opting out of those until it DOES feel more right and allowing that person to instead pursue sexual relationships with someone from whom it DOES feel right and is enjoyable. Do I have that right, too?
Member # 51769
i dont want to be single for the rest of my life. i am a normal person, i want to have a loving exclusive relationship at some point like most people do..?
all im saying is, i think its highly unlikely im ever going to get what i want out of sex, or feel sexual pleasure.
but i do want a relationship at some point. i dont think sex is owed, not at all. no one should ever have sex or do sexual things if they dont want to.
but if i want to do it for someone i love sometimes, then i dont think theres anything wrong with that, so long as im getting respect back. and if i dont do it, then i cant be in an exclusive relationship with them, because its not fair on them if they are a sexual person. which is a sad and depressing thought.
Member # 51769
and thats correct, when genitals are involved there is no enjoyment, but theres no hate for it either... i just dont feel anything. but frustration because my vagina is tense!
Member # 3
Let's be careful here about the word normal in this respect. There are people who opt out of having certain kinds of sex, for various reasons, who are just as "normal" as those who opt-in. And loving relationships, caring relationships, romantic relationships, even sexual relationships: they don't all look the same. People can be in a loving, caring sexual and romantic relationship that doesn't involve genital sex at all or some kinds of genital sex.
I think you've had quite a lot of experience of being in the position where you engage in sex that isn't what you want or like, and that you know that there IS something wrong with that and that that doesn't work for you (or most people) at all. Or, have you since come to different conclusions?
I want to be very clear: you can have the kind of relationship you want without having to have sex that you don't or that isn't working for you. Not only are there people you could date who, like you, for now, aren't really feeling genital sex (though you didn't answer my first question up there, so I'm not sure if that's the case for you or not), you also have the option of working on and through some of this BEFORE pursuing a potentially sexual relationship again so that you possibly CAN get to a place where these kinds of sex, some or all of them, ARE perhaps things you enjoy and experience pleasure from.
And I feel pretty confident, personally, that if you don't take some real time to work some of this out for yourself, without being involved with people sexually for a while -- and by a while, I mean probably more than months, you're just going to keep repeating this pattern over and over.
It sounds like you feel -- as you have in the past -- pretty scared of a life without a romantic or sexual partner in it: without a boyfriend. Do I have that right? If so, how about at least spending some time first, without dating, to work on unpacking that so at the very least, you can come to all of this from a place that isn't about feeling afraid: afraid of being single, being alone, not having sex, etc?
Member # 51769
i didnt say im a normal person that wants sex. i said im a normal person, that at some point wants an exclusive relationship. most people want that at some point in their lives.
i know there are lots of different kinds of loving relationships.
but how do i go about bringing it up? if i meet someone, like i have already, and i want to tell them that genital sex/any sex doesnt really do it for me and how do they feel about that, how do i say it? sorry if i havent been clear but thats kind of what iv been asking all along. i just wanna know how to talk about it with them.
i know i could work on it, and i have been trying. like i said im planning on paying for private therapy. but i know my body pretty well to be honest, and i really really really dont think its ever going to change.
well no, since my ex i havent wanted a boyfriend at all, no way was i going to rush into being with someone when i wasnt even over him.
i slept with people yeah, but i didnt want to be WITH them. apart from like one, very recently and hes out of the picture now and then theres the guy i saw today.
Member # 3
An exclusive sexual relationship, yes? If so, what I'm questioning here is what that means, and making clear that what that means can vary a whole lot, and can include a sexual life without some of the kinds of sex -- or all -- you've talked about not enjoying here. Make sense?
How you talk about what you want with someone is going to be fairly individual based on how you talk, period, and how the two of you talk. But I think finding some basic way that feels authentic to you to say, "For now, the kind of relationship I want isn't one that includes genital sex." You can certainly talk about why that is, depending on how much you feel comfortable saying.
The thing is, all of this stuff? It's not just about our bodies. In fact, a lot of what you've talked about over the time we've talked with you probably has very little to do with your body, and a whole lot more to do with your mind, your emotions, your social and sexual upbringing, and the bigger context of your life. And any of us having a huge ton of insight into all of that very early in life without any kind of help or coaching? Not likely. heck, a lot of people don't have a ton of insight into all of that in their 40s and 50s still.
Again, I think that your best bet is not to move forward into dating right now, but I've said that, and I can let it go, especially since obviously, these are your choices, and you've every right to disagree and make your own decisions. I just feel like if what you want is to break these patterns -- and that's what I hear you saying, and what you have expressed in the past -- that potentially moving into a sexual or romantic relationship anytime soon probably is the way to make sure you DON'T.
I think the lone exception there would be if the relationship you started exploring was one where sex was just off the table, period, the other person wanted the same thing, and you could let go of some fear and attachment around the perceived need to be in a sexual or romantic relationship, and the fear of not having one.
So, with all of that AND clear, honest limits set? Maybe you can start to break this pattern, but at the very least, if you say clearly, from the onset, "I don't want to engage in the kinds of sex I know are unlikely to be pleasurable for me right now and they are these <whichever kinds>, so if that doesn't work for you, that's cool, but we probably shouldn't date then," and then hold yourself to that, there's not going to be any room FOR some parts of that pattern to continue.
(That last paragraph came pout a bit murkier than I intended it, so holler if that didn't make sense, and I'll try and reword it.)
Member # 3
Btw, georgie, while you and I may be in disagreement about the wisdom of dating for you right now, it is GREAT to hear you asking about how to start something being honest about where you're at with all of this. That's no minor step from where things were the last time we talked, and I know how scary that kind of honesty has been to you before.
Member # 51769
all of this has suddenly become very over whelming in my head.
i feel like if i tell a guy that, im going to be rejected straight away.
i feel like i just shouldnt bother. and i feel really sad.
Member # 3
Well, chances are some guys WILL decline because of that, just like some guys might decline to continue to date you for any number of things they find out about you. But just like there are chances some guys would take a pass because of that, there are chances some guys won't, especially guys looking for the kinds of things you are, who are probably the best guys for you to date anyway. None of us tend to form very good relationships with each other when we want very different things or are in very different places with core stuff.
In other words, someone taking a pass on dating us or pursuing a relationship is always possible no matter what we do or don't want or like. Even if you walked into every possible dating relationships saying "Whatever it is you want and like sexually, I want and like that," someone could STILL say no or take a pass for other reasons (or maybe even for that one!).
I'm sure you can put the shoe on the other foot here and realize that there are things you might find out or learn about someone where you'd take a pass on dating them further too, right?
So, we have to be open to that -- rejection, if you call it that, I don't always see it that way, myself, but I hear you -- if we're going to be dating, just like we have to be open to that if, say, we're looking for jobs or applying to university. And if we don't feel up to handling that, then that's usually a strong clue that it's probably not the best idea for us to be dating at that time, until we DO feel able to deal with that.
Member # 51769
well i have to tell the current guy i went on a date with today. but he just seems so happy and really likes me and is all excited and stuff... and now i just feel like im gonna let him down.
Member # 3
Well, who knows, maybe you will? But, once more with feeling, that needs to be okay to be something that can happen when we're dating. And in any interaction or relationship that's ongoing? We ARE going to let people down sometimes, and they us: it happens, and we need to be okay with that. If all we're after is pleasing someone all the time and aren't okay with not being the pleaser? We are going to have some serious problems in relationships (including the one we have with ourselves).
Think of dating as being an awful lot like say, shopping for a dress for a special occasion. We're going to find some things that fit, but are the wrong color. Or that are the right color, but don't fit. Or costs too much. Or that we feel super-excited about, and think is awesome, but are totally wrong for the event and ALSO don't fit AND are too expensive.
Someone just liking us and being excited about us on one date or a few email exchanges? We shouldn't ever figure that's anything more than just that, and need to be ready for PLENTY of exchanges like that not to wind up being relationships we or the other person choose to pursue.
Personally, I strongly suspect you probably still aren't in the headspace to be able to handle some of that, unless you've very radically changed from when we last talked. This is some of what I mean about taking some more time for yourself and with yourself, and letting go of some things. And from the sounds of your last two posts, you really aren't ready for all the ups and downs and a whole lotta maybe-but-not-quites that dating simply tends to offer for anyone, not just you.
So, I'd really do some serious thinking about that, and be very ear with yourself around it. because maybe what you actually need to tell this guy is simply that for right now, when you're still only half a year out of something very long-term, serious and very broken, and still very much at ground zero with not only your own sexuality, but with figuring out how to be okay NOT being in a relationship, that as cool as he is and as much as you like him, the timing is simply off because this just isn't a time that's right for you yet for dating, period.

Member # 51769
when i was 16, long before i had full intercourse, i got drunk and had one of my first sexual encounters with a guy, and he bit me down there, really hard, so hard it was really painful and it swelled up to like 5 times the size. just out of curiosity, could this be something to do with my lack of sensation...
Member # 3
I doubt what's been going on with you is about anything physical, but let's just check in.
Five times the size of your vulva would make us be talking about your vulva becoming the size of your torso: I assume that wasn't the case? I also assume you didn't have any kind of serious lacerations: big bleeding, scarring, an open wound? If any of that really was the case (again, this seems...well, highly unlikely), then I imagine you got medical care?
Are you earnestly having issues with sensation in general? In other words, when, say, you're wiping after using the toilet, can you not feel your vulva is being touched?
Too, since you have been sexually active in the past, have you started getting any kind of sexual healthcare, like a bimanual exam, pap smears, and STI tests? If so, have you discussed any of this with any of those healthcare providers, and did they find anything that seemed amiss to them when it came to nerve ending issues?
[ 10-01-2012, 02:48 PM: Message edited by: Heather ]
Member # 51769
well i was exaggerating.
one side of my vulva swelled up a hell of a lot, i even showed my best friend straight afterwards cos i was in pain and shock. that was because someone actually bit me. it looked like i had grown a testicle aha.
and not really, iv had chlamydia tests but i do the swabs myself, i havent had any other sti tests.
Member # 51769
and yeah i can feel it being touched, im talking about sexual sensations. pleasurable ones.
Member # 3
I'm pretty sure that way back when, I suggested that you at least see a sexual healthcare provider. That's just important for your reproductive and sexual health, period, and especially with the number of sexual partners you've now reported, going without that care is a really bad idea. It's gambling with your health pretty massively.
Plus, if you're going to ask questions about physical issues? You really need to start out with an exam by someone who can actually evaluate that for you.
Like I said, I doubt that's the issue here, especially given there have been so many clear emotional issues and ways you're approaching and thinking about sex and sexuality and interpersonal interactions that are obviously huge parts of this, if not all, but even without you having these issues, that healthcare is a need.
Member # 3
(But if you can feel being touched, we can know your vulva is probably fine as far as your nerve endings working. That tough feeling pleasurable or not isn't about those nerve endings, really. It's about your brain way more than your genitals.)
Member # 51769
hmmm okay. i feel like the only reason i get so emotional though, is BECAUSE i dont feel sensation. not like, the other way round... thats how it feels to me anyway. i feel depressed because i dont. rather than, i dont feel any because i am depressed.
but thats just how i feel.
i have had blood tests for HIV and stuff, i just havent had the swabs done because i keep wimping out... my sister had it done and she said it made her feel sick.
Member # 3
Well, NOT getting sexual healthcare, especially having had multiple sexual partners, is more likely to make you sick and have you feeling really sick than the couple minutes once a year it takes TO get it.
Member # 51769
i am going to get it, im just a bit scared thats all. scared about the pain etc. plus its hard because they have alloted times for testing and i have to work. it is annoying but i was planning on getting it done, in fact i went in TO get in done but they said no because i was on anti biotics. i just havent had the time to go back yet
Member # 3
Basic GYN exams and pap smears are not typically painful. Some people find them momentarily uncomfortable, physically, and socially uncomfortable, but that usually is about it.
And since it's clear you have questions about experiencing pleasure where you're wondering if this is about your body -- not your attitudes and approaches and choices -- it seems to me that that's another very good reason to schedule an exam.
Btw, not sure what someone told you, but antibiotics are something someone can be on and still get a pap smear, bimanual exam or any STI test. Antibiotics don't get in the way of any of those things.
You've made time for dating and sex, so how about making it for your health here, and also for getting more of the information you're clearly seeking?
Member # 51769
i get scared of things going so far up it feels like its 'too far' even though it obviously wouldnt be.
i think i will schedule an exam.
well when i went to get swabs done to test for all STIs, they said i couldnt get it done because i was on antibiotics and apparently it would affect the results.
Member # 3
A speculum isn't going anywhere someone's penis hasn't already been, to be blunt. And the vagina has a definite end: if anyone knows that, it's someone who does vaginal exams.
There is no "too far up" you have to worry about with an exam from a healthcare professional.
I find the information you were given very strange: this was a doctor that said that to you, one who practices sexual medicine?
Member # 51769
oh, i thought it went up further..
yeah, it was at my gum clinic! it was when they were filling out a form for me just before hand and she asked if i was on any medication and i said that and she said that id have to come back in a few weeks and that she could only do blood tests on that day because of it.

That's so strange, per the clinic. I honestly don't know what to make of that. All the same, if you're off of them now, then that barrier is done with regardless.

When providing care to anxious youth, clinicians must distinguish normal, transient, developmentally appropriate worries and fears, as well as responses to the stressors of daily life, from anxiety disorders. Worries and fears are distinct concepts: worry involves anxious apprehension and thoughts focused on the possibility of negative future events, while fear is related to the response to threat or danger that is perceived as actual or impending. Occasional worry is normative in children (Muris et al. 1998). The fears reported by children tend to decline with increasing age and change over time from immediate and tangible concerns to anticipatory and less tangible ones, whereas the content and complexity of worries increase with age and cognitive ability (Craske 1997).

Watch Out Below!
Chad is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I can honestly say there is nothing like discovering a new store concept and then seeing the company go public. Small growth retailers are one of my favorite investments to track because they are so easy to understand. If their stores work in one area, they usually work in other areas as well. As long as comparable store sales are on the rise, and debt isn't excessive the stock is usually a good bet. One company that recently came to my attention, due to their store location right around the corner, is Five Below (NASDAQ: FIVE). Since the company just completed its IPO in July of this year, the recent earnings release was one of the first chances to look at the results from this fast-growing company. While the company's first earnings report is a little convoluted due to their IPO, everything looked okay until I calculated the company's current valuation.
Before we get to the valuation concerns that I have, let's compare Five Below and their type of store to several of their competitors. Since the company only operates 226 stores in 18 states there's a decent chance that some investors may not have actually stepped foot in a Five Below. One thing that I should point out is Five Below is a very different concept than many other dollar-denominated stores. The company describes itself as a retailer with all items priced at $5 or less that offers, "high-quality merchandise targeted at the teen and preteen customer." This is a very different focus than competitors such as Dollar General (NYSE: DG), Family Dollar (NYSE: FDO), or Dollar Tree (NASDAQ: DLTR). Most dollar-denominated stores sell a mix of consumables, seasonal items, toys, and other goods. Just as an example, Dollar General gets about 74% of their total sales from consumables, and Dollar Tree has been expanding their frozen and refrigerated merchandise to bring in more frequent shoppers. While Five Below has a unique store concept, I fear sales results will be more inconsistent because they do not focus on the same categories that drive frequent visits. In addition, any retailer specifically targeting the teen and preteen marketplace, faces unique challenges keeping up with changing trends in this fickle demographic. That being said, the company's first earnings report showed some impressive numbers, but also a few red flags that investors should be aware of.
Five Below reported net sales up 40.11% and comparable store sales increased 8.6%. With 34.5% more new stores in place versus last year, you can see the company is expanding rapidly. The bad news for investors is, the company's previous complicated financial structure makes it difficult for the company to grow earnings per share at the same rate as more established competitors. When the company issued its shares from the IPO, the first priority was to retire the nearly $100 million in preferred shares outstanding. In order to accomplish this goal, Five Below entered into a $100 million loan agreement and used the proceeds to essentially buyout these preferred share holders. At the same time, the company owed about $100 million to an existing term loan. The proceeds from the IPO allowed the company to pay down $65 million of their existing loan balance, which left $35 million still on the balance sheet.
Long story short, there are multiple adjustments to the company's earnings per share that are needed. After all of the one-time items, the company's EPS was actually about $.14 versus a loss of $.10 last year. However, the company still carries a relatively significant long-term debt load, and the interest expense uses almost 28% of operating income. While this cost will go down on a relative basis if the company continues to grow, in the short term this creates a drag on earnings. This is the prime reason that with revenues up 40%, net income only increased 16.74%. When we dig further into the company's financial statements, the comparisons to their larger competition become even more difficult.
The size difference between Five Below and their competition cannot be understated. The company only operates 226 locations, versus their smallest competitor Dollar Tree which has well over 4,000 stores. However, for those that assume with size that capital expenditures go down, you only need to look at Family Dollar to disprove this theory. In the last few years, Family Dollar's capital expenditures have increased over 120%, while operating cash flow stayed relatively flat. For a company with over 7,000 stores, this appears to be an issue specific to Family Dollar, but is something for Five Below investors to be cautious of.
There are three different challenges that I noticed in Five Below's financials. First, the company's long-term debt uses a tremendous amount of the company's income. Second, even with the adjustments to net income related to the company's IPO, Five Below still would have been free cash flow negative by $4.68 million. A third issue is, the fact that the company's IPO caused their diluted share count to increase 18.61%. With significantly more shares, a large debt load, and the company running free cash flow negative, these are all items that will make true growth difficult. While all of these challenges might overcome with time, the valuation of the shares is something that I can't overlook.
I don't have any trouble saying on a relative basis Five Below looks far overvalued. In the dollar-denominated segment, even the fastest growing companies, Dollar General and Dollar Tree, trade for a forward P/E ratio very close to their 17% plus expected growth rates. Even Family Dollar, which is expected to grow at about 14% trades for roughly 17 times forward earnings estimates. Understanding that Five Below is expected to see significantly higher growth, still does not explain the forward P/E ratio of over 73. Even if investors are looking at 2013 full-year estimates, at current prices the shares trade at over 50 times next year's earnings as well.
Five Below is targeting a more challenging market with less consumables to drive repeat business. None of their competition trades at the type of premium to their growth rate that Five Below currently does. Considering that the company is free cash flow negative, has a significant interest expense, and is relatively small, could be reason enough to avoid the shares. However, when you add the fact that the shares appear significantly overvalued, all I can say is watch out below!

Stompy Bot Productions and Mektek Studios have launched their Kickstarter project for Heavy Gear Assault, the return of the mech combat game originally introduced by Dream Pod 9, with later games published by Activision.
The multiplayer e-sports-focused, Unreal Engine 4-powered game is in development for PC and will be free-to-play with premium subscriptions options available for players. The development team is seeking $800,000 by June 29, with a dozen stretch goals already planned for the funding project.
Matt Booty, general manager of Redmond Game Studios and Platforms, told the site that Microsoft will "continue to court developers in the ways that we have." He did add that the company will "explore new business models and new ways of surfacing content," but ultimately concluded that "Microsoft Studios is a publisher that works with a wide range of partners, as do a lot of other people, to bring digital content to the box."
Currently, the only way self-publish on the Xbox 360 is via Xbox Live Indie Games. While the niche channel has seen a few successful developers, most see greater success on other platforms like Steam and PSN. Furthermore, the XBLIG service is stagnating according to some developers, and its future remains unclear.
The Ultimate version of DoA 5 is confirmed to arrive in the west this fall, both at retail and on digital platforms.
As per the version released for consoles last year, Komplete Edition features all the game's DLC, with the expanded roster including a certain Freddy Kreuger (the regular creepy kind), Kenshi, Scarlet, and Rain. Conduit and Kinect Star Wars developer High Voltage Games, who've just released the "addictive" puzzler Zoombies for iOS, is handling the PC port.
The countdown also features the year 2013 in Roman numerals, perhaps pointing to the game being released this year for the new console. A blurb on the countdown reads, "Fight as a soldier. Lead as a general. Rise as a Legend," and the game is described as "controller-based gameplay enhanced by Kinect."
We'll have more details on Ryse for Xbox One as we learn them.
The new Kinect features a 1080P HD RGB camera, 30 FPS color, Time of Flight technology, and microphone arrays. It has a greater sense of depth and field of view compared to the original Kinect, and thanks to infrared tech it can see in the dark. Microsoft showed us how the sensor can track two player profiles, each tied to a controller, and also demonstrated how it can estimate players' heart rates.
Each Xbox One ships with the device. The console launches later this year.
The news was spilled on EA's The Beat blog by Labels President Frank Gibeau, who name-checked Battlefield 4, EA Sports games, and the Need for Speed franchise as part of the company's E3 showcase of next-gen games.
Around the time the post went up, Need for Speed's Facebook page uploaded a new screenshot (below the break) of what's very likely the next game in the racing series. The shot was tagged with the description "Have no rules, show no mercy."
The screenshot completely negates any possibility of it, but we're gonna call it anyway. At E3 next month, prepare to meet Need for Hyperspeed. You heard it here first.
There are a number of titles already announced for the Xbox One, but nothing using CryEngine 3 just yet. Don't weep, though; We're sure to hear about something soon.
"Xbox One was designed from the ground up with entirely new technology to deliver a new generation of experiences for both games and entertainment For example, the Wireless Controller will connect to the console using high speed data transfer to enable higher fidelity headset audio and future controller add-on experiences that are not possible with Xbox 360 wireless technology. Additionally, the all-new Kinect sensor's ability to locate the wireless controller is dependent on new technology. In order for Xbox One to deliver robust, meaningful gaming scenarios for all users across all experiences, only Xbox One controllers and accessories will work with the new console."Microsoft previously confirmed to Polygon and Engadget the Xbox One won't support the Xbox 360 controller or Xbox 360 Kinect respectively. Neither is surprising, given Microsoft's new system has a redesigned controller and a next-gen edition of the Kinect sensor.
However, while it isn't explicitly said, Microsoft's statement seems to indicate the Xbox One won't support any Xbox 360 accessories. When asked on Twitter if the new system supports Xbox 360 headsets, Xbox Support reiterated the statement we received, saying, "Only Xbox One accessories will work with Xbox One, which helps us deliver better headset audio and other benefits."
We've downloaded the update and can't see any obvious changes. Maybe the Wii U just wanted to make itself heard over the clamor of a certain other box.
He added that a Japanese company is handling the port. Furthermore, the game will be out "as soon as possible," and the recently crowd-funded DLC characters will be added in future updates.
Massively's Gavin Townsley recently attended a WildStar media event in San Francisco, at which he was treated to a hands-on look at the upcoming sci-fantasy MMORPG's Scientist path and Esper class. He also chatted with Carbine Studios executive producer Jeremy Gaffney, who pulls a Gaffney (I'm coining that) and can't resist leaking a bit of new info about tradeskills while filling Gavin in on how endgame will work, why we should play the Settler path, and whether talent trees are passé. If you think making 10 pairs of cotton space pants sounds boring, then yeah -- you're going to like what he's got to say.
Enjoy all three articles plus the brand-new path videos we've embedded past the cut!
Hands-on with WildStar's Scientist path and Esper class There is something exciting about taking your first steps into the mysteries of a new planet. I was anxious to mingle with the locals, analyze artifacts, and even pick a few plants -- that is, until I saw a flower burst from the ground as a giant vine-like beast. |
WildStar's Jeremy Gaffney on the Settler path WildStar's Settlers don't just build bonfires for sappy Explorers to sing around; these titans of construction will save you time in dungeons, establish bigger outposts, and open up new realms of quests for everyone. |
WildStar's Jeremy Gaffney on progression, tradeskills, and endgame Jeremy Gaffney divulges the beautiful details on essential parts of the game: character progression, tradeskills that don't suck, and life in the elder game. |
At one point, Slant Six Games was apparently working on a Medal of Honor game for PS Vita. Some concept art for the game showed up over on an artist's portfolio site, spotted by the @supererogatory Twitter account.
Medal of Honor: Warfighter was the latest entry in the Medal of Honor series, developed by EA's Danger Close studio. Following that game's poor reception, EA's Peter Moore announced the franchise is now "out of the rotation."
Slant Six Games' last release was the lackluster Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City for Capcom - a spin-off that takes place during the outbreak of Raccoon City, first seen in Resident Evil 2. In April, Slant Six Games issued temporary layoffs, a stopgap measure to help keep interim operating costs down in-between contract work. Slant Six issued similar layoffs in 2010 and after shipping RE: Operation Raccoon City last year.
Regardless, Dying clearly has a Saw vibe. It's story revolves around characters being trapped in foreboding environments, forcing them to solve strange puzzles and try to escape. The game will be released episodically with the first episode, "Last Hour," slated to arrive on May 25.
The Firaxis bundle headlines Amazon's Digital Mayhem promotion, with other discounts spanning Telltale's The Walking Dead, Battlefield 3, BioShock, Mark of the Ninja and many more. The sale ends on May 31, so feel free to take your time perusing the hundreds of eligible discounts.
PS Vita owners can opt for the budget-priced janitor sim Men's Room Mayhem or the Cross-Buy enabled tower defense game Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault, which includes a free copy of the PlayStation 3 version with purchase. Reminder: Ratchet: Deadlocked is available as a free download for players who purchased the retail PlayStation 3 version of Full Frontal Assault.
Pinball Arcade and Germinator headline this week's PlayStation Plus update, and subscribers also have access to discounts for ten DLC-bundled Ultimate Edition titles.
The full list of this week's store additions is available on the PlayStation Blog.
Microsoft also said that the Xbox One will require a separate cable box, specifying "at launch," so it's possible that the console maker has other plans to deliver television content. The Xbox One is set for release later on this year, and Microsoft has not yet revealed a price.
Ludwig and Alexander are in Redmond covering the full goings-on at the Xbox One announcement event, but the home crew of Xav, Dave, and Jess are here to recap all the currently known details. There are still plenty of questions surrounding the system, especially when it comes to software, but Microsoft did spill plenty of details regarding the hardware.
Facts, opinions, speculation – it's all here.
Listen to the Super Joystiq Podcast: Details about each segment are available after the break.
So far, apps listed include such staples as Netflix, Hulu Plus and HBOgo, in addition to slightly more esoteric offerings such as Crackle and The CW. Microsoft has yet to specifically name any of these apps during today's flurry of announcements, however, so we're keeping an ear to the ground for further confirmation and (hopefully) information on other streaming media apps launching with the system.
In a brief demonstration in one of its Kinect testing rooms, Microsoft showed press how the Kinect kept track of two player profiles, each tied to a controller in use. When Player 1 and Player 2 swap controllers, the Xbox One is able to recognize which profile is the new Player 1. The Kinect also monitors the position of players, meaning it can match portions of split-screen games to the side of the screen at which that player is looking. This may also translate to fighting games, which is good news if you're the sort to get confused when your spot in the couch isn't aligned with your character.
Microsoft also demonstrated a few more tricks made possible by the new Kinect's enhanced sense of depth, its greater field of view - which does make closer gaming in smaller apartments a more feasible – its ability to see in the dark via infrared, and its flattering scrutiny of facial features. By examining your face's skin color and transparency, the Kinect and Xbox One are able to estimate your current heart rate. Whether or not someone puts that information to good use in Kinect games or fitness programs is another matter, as we've learned from Nintendo's flatlined "vitality sensor."
Valve has experimented with biometric data in games too, adjusting game difficulty, objectives and timers in response to the player's physical state. With a Kinect shipping alongside every Xbox One, and assuming the camera is relatively accurate, biometric influence over gameplay may become less esoteric in the near future.

It depends on the song, but I think in some cases, reaching five stars on expert is more monumental than striking gold. That first five-star finish says you've finally figured out the song's patterns, and can play them consistently enough for a good performance. Now it's just a matter of time and practice before you're polished enough to go gold.
On that note, last night I finally eeked out that fifth star on "Highway Chile," playing expert pro drums. I still can't play the ending worth a darn, but the rest of the song I've got licked!
It's all right. Everything will work out fine.
It's all right. We're going to the end of the line!
Finally did the Endless Setlist 3 on pro drums. What a not-so-fulfilling grind that was! 83 is just too many songs. I was also very underwhelmed by the finish with nothing special happening. I miss the drum-controlled fireworks show!
And on RB3 you don't even have to play it, no fail has no downside, so you can simply listen to 83 songs in a row and it works, just a tip. I personally did it on bass just to put scores on the songs, though lol.
Can't say I agree with this, as a pro keys players, I could name you alot of songs that the solos are in the way for a GS, and they are no joke.

Like I said, it depends on the song. Sure, those Amberian Dawn solos laugh at you as they keep the gold stars out of reach, but consider songs like "Runaway," "Big Shot" or "(I Just) Died in Your Arms." Those endurance-busting runs of chords and quick finger changes are no joke either, and they stop a lot of people from earning a fifth star. But when you finally do get that last star, you're in the clear. A little more time, a little more practice to fine-tune the muscle memory, and you're golden. That's a good feeling to have.
It's all right. Everything will work out fine.
It's all right. We're going to the end of the line!

I kinda agree reaching five stars on in the meantime was huge for me personally gold stars are awesome but how many songs will you never gold star for me that's a Long list..

Might go for the entire solo but the zig-zag and solos D & F are going to be the most annoying parts.

Stepdown rim cost
What a fair price for a 15-5 stepdown rim ?? Thanks John
$20-$35, I would think.
Yeah bout right, depend on how nice of course. I sold a couple in Gettysburg at the national meet for $20.00 each ,
RogerRetired Tech. -
I'd like to find a couple 15 x 5.5's if anyone knows of any out there.
Just bought a set of four 15" X 5" rims, paid $125. I probably could have gotten them for a bit less if I had 'haggled' a bit...
Russell - Yup, as you indicated - those 15" X 5.5" rims are not easily found.
I stumbled across a set of '51 Chrysler rims that are that size (on the internet, offered by an auto recycler in TN, never got a look at them), but the seller wanted $65.00 ea, plus $20.00 shipping... -
Yep, I may have to find some Chrysler Rims. My question about those were, do they have the clips for hubcaps on them? Also, do they have the hole for the alignment pin?
I checked with Charlie Nau and Al Saffrahn recently and neither of those guys had any 5.5. rims.
Russell - I don't know (for sure) if they have the hubcap clips or the the alignment hole. Send me an email if you are interested, and I will forward you the 'quote' I was sent, and contact info.
I have sold some older Chrysler's (40's I believe) wheels for use on Hudson and they had the clips and alignment holes. I do have one here though with no clips (but holes for them), no 5-1/2" - sorry,
RogerRetired Tech. -
Chrysler rims up thru about 1956 had the necessary clips for our hub caps, but after 1956 Chrysler switched to 14" rims. Later (I'm not sure just when) Chrysler's 15" rims used a completely different center with no clips for older style hub caps.Jerry

Amar Diarrosova, 6, was hit by a tractor trailer at the intersection of First Avenue and 117th Street Thursday morning.
He was walking to school with his 9-year-old brother.
Flavia Roman, 55, who was the crossing guard assigned to the intersection, told investigators that she left her post to use the bathroom.
Police say Roman never notified her supervisor that she was on break.
Now, they say they're looking into whether she was honest when she called to say she arrived at the intersection for the beginning of her shift.
"What happens is, they call in. In this case, she did call in to the youth officer in the precinct and said that she was on post at 07:30," said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. "Then, we have call supervisors that supervise the individual. So if you have to leave, you call back and say you are leaving."
Some crossing guards NY1 spoke with talked about how important their job is.
"It's a job that you have to be there," said Felicita Gaston, a former crossing guard. "Unfortunately, the city doesn't have enough school crossing guards. The pay is very low. So, why they leave their post, I don't know. I can't account for anybody else, only for myself."
The driver of the tractor trailer was ticketed for failing to yield to a pedestrian.
